Owaisi Has Sharp Comeback To Army Chief's 'Leadership' Jab Against CAA Protests
This Is Not The First Time That General Bipin Rawat Has Waded In To A Controversy With His Comment On A Political Issue.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat’s remark on the anti-Citizenship Law protests triggered a political controversy on Thursday. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a sharp swipe at army chief for making a political remark on the ongoing stir against the Citizenship Amendment Act. “Leadership is knowing the limits of one’s office. It is about understanding the idea of civilian supremacy & preserving the integrity of the institution that you head,” Owaisi said in a tweet. It is not leadership if leaders guide masses, comprising university and college students, to carry out arson and violence in our cities, Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said on Thursday while commenting on protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
This is not the first time that General Bipin Rawat has waded in to a controversy with his comment on a political issue. Last year, general Rawat had sparked a row when he had said that the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has been growing faster than the BJP in Assam because of the support of Muslims, with Pakistan and China pushing Bangladeshi migrants into the North-east part of the country to destabilise India.
Reacting to this, AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal had tweeted: “By making such a statement, the army chief has indulged in politics which is against the constitutional mandate given to him.” Later, he told reporters in Guwahati, “We respect General Rawat a lot but I think he has been misinformed and misguided. If the Army chief is saying demographic change is happening in Assam, it is the government’s job to check it. We are the only party which said, `Shoot anyone who infiltrates our borders’.”
General Rawat is due to retire on December 31st. General Bipin Rawat, in his career spanning 41 years, has had anillustrious military profile with vast operational and staff exposure. As the Chief of Army Staff, he has been a member of COSC since January 2017. During his tenure in COSC, the Committee has deliberated on a number of diverse issues ranging from operations, training and administration, with an aim to enhance jointmanship and integration. General Bipin Rawat, with his foresight and professional acumen, has contributed immensely to the committee with his non-partisan views on critical issues.

Download. Internet Download Manager. Internet Download Manager gives you the tools to download many types of files from the Internet and organize them as you see fit. You can categorize each file as you download it, and then access all download s right from the app's main interface. ProsSpeedy: Most short video files are download ed almost instantly. As soon as you click " Download ," a message pops up telling you the process is complete. You can then play the video immediately, or return to your browser to find more clips. Browser integration: Since this app integrates with your browser, it can automatically detect when a download able file is present on a Web page and inserts a Download button onto the page. All you have to do is click the button and enter a description to begin the download ing process. Contextual help: If you get stuck at any point while you're using the program, you can press "F1" to bring up a Help topic for the area of the program that you're in. ConsClunky interface: The main interface of this app gets the job done, but it doesn't have the most intuitive setup. Novice users should have no trouble completing basic download s, but to take advantage of some of the more advanced features or to change the preferences, you need to have a little bit of technical know-how. Bottom LineThis is a good basic download manager, with a nice set of features, although it could be organized a little better. Software that claims to boost the speed of your download s invariably seems to disappoint, and Download Direct is no exception. The interface is straightforward and the program offers a number of customizable settings, but in our download tests, the application did not meet expectations. When targeting the manufacturer's Web site, Download Direct performed admirably, pulling down a 3MB file in 22 seconds. But when we tried to download a 41MB MP3, the application slowed to a painful 2.2 KBps, even using the application's fastest setting. We were able to download the same file using Firefox's built-in utility in a few minutes at speeds hovering around 125 KBps. The application does provide a number of helpful options for managing and integrating download s, although these two do not always work as expected. You can add multiple download s at once and schedule each one; customize various interface settings, such as window position and dialog display; and choose a default download folder as well as make a list of favorite folders. The integration with the Windows Clipboard works well, with Clipboard contents automatically populating the target URL for new download s. The browser integration works less well. Clicking on a test link for the maker's Web site sent the download command to Download Direct, but the same failed to occur with links on other sites. Overall, we found Download Direct to be unstable as well. Running more than one download at a time consistently caused the program to crash. Users looking for a reliable download management tool would do better elsewhere. Appandora gives you a quick way to download rogue iOS apps without jailbreaking your device. It's a little boring to look at and requires iTunes to work, but it gets the job done. If you've got your eye on an app that isn't available from the iTunes store, this download will help you get it on all of your iOS devices. Though Appandora does let you download apps right to your iOS gadgets, you'll still need a version of iTunes to make it work. Once you have both programs, the app automatically reads any connected gadgets and recognizes them in a matter of seconds. The program doubles as an app market with hundreds of games, though some of them are already available to you in the iTunes store. Download ing and installing a game works just like it would with a desktop program: you choose the game and download it, and it installs all by itself. The program doesn't take long to download most games and will use the full speed of your computer's Wi-Fi connection. Appandora includes an easy-to-understand tutorial that tells rookies exactly what they need to do to get their app of choice download ed onto their phone or tablet. In addition, it works as a device manager so you can easily sync media files between your iOS device and PC. There's not much to this application once you get past its app market, but that's more than enough to merit the download. Appandora is loaded with fun games and gets them on your device without any hiccups. If you want a new way to get games that doesn't involve Apple's own store, check out this neat download.

When it comes to winning in the Startup Nation, the homerun is to go public on NASDAQ, the stock exchange which currently lists 90 Israeli companies valued at a whopping $40 billion. And this year, or more specifically this week, is panning out to be the winningest ever for Israeli tech, with six companies offering up IPOs (initial public offerings) that are set to raise an aggregate amount of $883 million. Just for comparison, only nine companies went public between 2012-2013 raising a total of $400 million over two years, an indication that Israeli companies are gaining a lot more traction across the pond.
Here is a look at six Israeli IPOs to watch for the remainder of 2014. Each of these companies has already filed forms with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and plan to go public on either NYSE or NASDAQ by the end of the year.
MBLY– At a company valuation of up to $5.2 billion (according to some estimates), the automobile tech firm Mobileye is planning to hold the largest IPO in Israel’s history. Unlike the other companies on this list, Mobileye will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), joining an elite group that currently numbers 21 Israeli companies. Mobileye develops “smart vision” technology for cars used for accident prevention and in the future, autonomous driving. After nearly 15 years of research and development, Mobileye’s technology is now available in 160 car models from 18 car manufacturers, including BMW, GM, Volvo and Chrysler. With this historic IPO, which is expected to occur this week, Mobileye is offering 27.8 million shares to the public, valued at approximately $600 million and underwritten by nine investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citi.
RWLK– With a mission to change the life and health of individuals with spinal cord injuries, ReWalk Robotics has developed a revolutionary exoskeleton walking device that enables wheelchair–bound individuals to rediscover what it feels like to walk again. After obtaining approval from the Food and Drug Administration in June, the company received a swarm of attention from the media and investors, resulting in an IPO filing with the SEC earlier this month. At a valuation of $250-300 million, ReWalk is seeking to raise $58 million when it goes public on NASDAQ.
VBLX– Founded in 2000, VBL Therapeutics is committed to the development and commercialization of treatments for brain cancer and inflammatory diseases. VBL’s leading drug, known as VB-111, treats an aggressive form of brain cancer and has obtained fast-track designation from the Food & Drug Administration in the United States. In addition, the company has over 120 patents and more than 150 applications pending, according to its website. Since 2000, a number of investors, including Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, have invested an aggregate $100 million in the company. VBL Therapeutics is looking to raise $75 million from its IPO, which it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June.
RNAI- Based at Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem, Silenseed is a biopharmaceutical company developing RNA interference-based drugs designed to treat malignant solid tumors, which appear in 85 percent of human cancers. Diseases that Silenseed hopes to target are pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and several brain cancers. The company claims that its drugs and delivery systems have the potential to be one of the most highly effective treatments for solid tumor cancers, which may be why this company has secured what is considered in the biotech world to be a highly-valued IPO. With the public offering on NASDAQ, Silenseed plans to raise approximately $35 million led by Aegis Capital.
MCUR- Adding to the growing list of successful Israeli bio-tech companies is MacroCure, a clinical-stage company that is developing innovative approaches to healing hard-to-heal wounds such as pressure ulcers and post-operative wounds. Seeking to raise as much as $75 million in their IPO, MacroCure hopes to use the funds to finish developing their lead product, CureXcell, which uses cell based therapy to restore the natural healing process to severe wounds. The product has been approved as a medical device in Israel and has been successfully used in over 5,000 patients. Next year, the company is planning to complete a late-stage trial in the US, paving the way to market approval in both the US and Europe.
Will Tesla’s Driverless Car Be Powered By Mobileye Technology?
ORPN- Rounding out our list of six Israeli IPOs to watch is Bioblast Pharma, a startup that was founded in 2012 and is now seeking to raise $40 million from the public. From the founders of Israel-based Alcobra Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: ADHD), Bioblast Pharma is developing a group of treatments for rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases such as Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystropy (OPMD), Machado Joseph disease and Kennedy’s disease. According to the company’s prospectus, the biological mechanisms of numerous rare diseases are understood, but very few satisfactory treatments currently exist. At the moment, Bioblast Pharma has potential treatments for six rare diseases, and they plan to use much of the proceeds from this IPO to fund the completion of clinical programs for each of them.
It looks as if 2014 will bring more Israeli companies to the capital markets than the last two years combined, with these six already in the works. Whether this trend continues in the future remains to be seen, but if these companies are successful with their IPOs and become profitable multinationals, it just might encourage more Israeli entrepreneurs to follow suit and set their sights higher than the ever-so-popular exit. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T00:07:08Z', 'url': 'https://www.secrettelaviv.com/magazine/no-camels/going-public-is-the-new-exit-six-israeli-ipos-to-watch', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Biographical / Historical:
Connecticut painter, art historian, and collector, Nelson C. White (1900-1989) was born in Waterford, Connecticut, to artist Henry C. White. He studied at the National Academy of Design and Yale University and established himself as a landscape painter whilst also pursuing a literary career. He was the author of two biographies: The Life and Art of J. Frank Currier (1936), and Abbott H. Thayer: Painter and Naturalist (1951). White also penned an article on his friend, Thomas Wilmer Dewing ("The Art of Thomas Wilmer Dewing"), which was published in 1929.
White's father, Henry C. White (1861-1952), was an artist known primarily for his landscapes and seascapes of his native Connecticut. Born in Hartford, White began his career in 1875, studying with Dwight W. Tryon. In the 1880s he enrolled in the Art Students League in New York, while continuing to study with Tryon and other artists, including Kenyon Cox and George de Forest Brush. In the 1890s he traveled in Europe and then returned to Hartford where he taught drawing at the Hartford Public School, and co-founded the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts in 1910. Like his son, White had literary aspirations, and in 1930 published a biography of his life-long friend and teacher entitled The Life and Art of Dwight W. Tryon. Two years after his death in 1952, the Lyman Allyn Museum held a memorial exhibition for White, curated primarily by Nelson C. White.

← We don’t own the guns: the guns own us.
True enough. Only thing is, though, the “NAUGuh” sound puts me in mind of “NAUGAHYDE.” Even if your grandma didn’t live ten miles north of Naugatuck, CT, with its sour rubbery smell before we shipped the jobs overseas, the conflation of any hopeful beginning with one of those slippery leatherette 1950s barcaloungers kind of angries up the blood. My neighborhood grocery is desperately trying to offload what seems to have been too aggressive a purchase of eggnog this year, some of it from fancy up-label brands. I still have about two fingers of the stuff in the frige in the bottom of a plastic milk bottle that I bought more than a month ago, which I’d better get rid of, before the neighborhood trash stream starts smelling like the Naugatuck River!
Best way to celebrate this day: by nogging and by emailing your Senator to change the filibuster.
The change must happen tomorrow. It’s now or never.
Living in the Capital, we left for a long hike fur enough not to be nogged. The only thing worth remembering on a cold day when empty promised lower air quality is: the next candidate that talks about hope and change and nothing else, run for your life.
I watched the morning’s events on tee vee and got a little misty-eyed seeing the crowds on the National Mall and those lovely Obama women up on the stage, just as I did four years ago. Last time I was living overseas and had to get up in the wee hours to do this. Meanwhile, in the homes of my hoplophilic, melanophobic, exurban relatives, the TVs were silent for the first time in four years. I’m okay with my position on this one.
I thought the speech, while broad and conciliatory in style, did a great job aligning the Founders & the course of American history in general with modern progressive goals in particular. So in the end, it wasn’t a Kum-Bye-Yah speech at all, no “there is no red America, no blue America, but only the United States of America” type speech. It very clearly said that American History is on the side of blue America’s values.
That said: Progressives, I hope you liked the speech! Use re-runs of it to keep you warm when he inevitably disappoints and compromises with the hostage-takers.
I’m a total sap for ceremonies (I always go to graduation, and usually cry there too), so like truffula, I got a bit misty eyed at moments today. Like H’Ann, I thought the speech good at connecting historical ideas to current progressive ones. And in addition to the “Seneca Falls, and Selma and Stonewall” line, I was struck by the mention of climate change.
I was also struck by the crowd, and all the parents and grandparents who wanted the children in their life to remember it. I thought about my mother, bringing her 3 children up to 125th St. and Park Ave in NYC to see JFK during the 1960 campaign. We can get cynical about civil religion, but I think the way the older generations try to tell their children about what matters is fascinating.
Oh, and is there a recipe for in-nogger-ation?
It was a good speech; it was about “a more perfect union” and about progress. We shall see, we shall see.
I say if the way you say it makes you think of naugahyde, yur still doin it rong.
There. I’m sure you’re all relieved I’m here to clear up these little problems.
Thanks, quixote! That’s exactly how *I* pronounce it. It’s really only a little more work than in-NOGGER-ate.
One of my FB friends said he hadn’t known about this Seneca Falls thing until he heard it in the President’s speech and went and looked it up. How sad is that?
Well, Linden, you might be sad, or you could look on the bright side and remember that your friend used the opportunity to learn something! I am sure that there were a number of Americans who missed one or both of those “S” sites listed by the President yesterday.
I choose to be pleased that the Prez mentioned these things at all, and that many more Americans (and others, perhaps) used the opportunity to learn a little more history. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T22:22:34Z', 'url': 'https://historiann.com/2013/01/21/in-nogger-ation-day/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Why has science so dramatically altered how we live and how we think about ourselves? What is the greatest scientific idea of all time? According to Professor Steven L. Goldman, one is tempted to speak of scientific discoveries as the source of science's power to be a driver of social change—that scientists have been discovering new truths about nature, and that the change follows from that. But I argue that it is scientific ideas that are responsible for this change. Ideas are the source of science's power—not discoveries."
And what is the greatest scientific idea of all? For Professor Goldman, that is surely the very idea of science, for as he puts it, "The idea of science itself is an idea that had to be invented."
In Great Scientific Ideas That Changed the World, you will explore ideas that—when society has been willing to pursue them—have helped form the foundation of modern life. You'll interpret the term "scientific idea" broadly, so as to include ideas that made science possible at all, as well as ideas that make science immensely powerful.
You will discover there is no sharp distinction between ideas that are classified as scientific and those that are classified as philosophical or mathematical, or even between scientific ideas and political, religious, or aesthetic ideas. Alfred North Whitehead, for example, famously linked the emergence of modern science in the Christian West to the belief in a single, law-observing Creator of the universe.
The New Dot-Com World
New ideas affect society in unpredictable ways. A perfect example is the evolution of the Internet from a modest U.S. Department of Defense-funded computer network project to a global technology that has transformed commerce, industry, politics, warfare, communication, education, entertainment, and research. We are still unfolding the unexpected and sometimes disturbing consequences of a few innovative ideas that enable computers in different locations to share information in real time, ideas that underlie the Internet's astonishing capabilities.
What we do know is that science has changed our lives—but how it does so, and why it is able to do so, tells us as much about ourselves as it does about science.
Moreover, as unpredictable as science may be, Professor Goldman argues that for 200 years now the interaction of science and technology with society has been the primary driver of social and cultural change, first in the West, then globally, and at an accelerating rate. During this period, social and personal values and relationships; social, political, and economic institutions; and cultural values and activities have changed and continue to change almost beyond anything our great-grandparents (or sometimes even parents) would recognize. What has transformed entire ways of life that had previously been entrenched for centuries or millennia?
There are objects, of course—the telephone, automobile, airplane, television, computer—that appear to be causes of social change. But identifying these artifacts does not reach down to the causes of innovation itself, nor does it expose those features of the sociocultural infrastructure that enable innovations to become causes of social change. Artifacts, in spite of their high visibility, are symptoms of causes at work; they are not themselves causes.
Learn How Society Affects Ideas
It is not only television, the automobile, or the Internet that have changed society. Instead, forces at work in society have caused television and automobiles and the Internet to take on the changing forms they take. One of these forces is ideas—new scientific ideas, originating in the past and subsequently internalized by society. These ideas have shaped both our social and cultural affairs and the lines along which society is most open to change.
For instance, the notion that there are laws of nature seems to reflect a political idea. There can be no doubt that mathematical and aesthetic ideas were central to the 17th-century Scientific Revolution. Furthermore, distinguishing science and technology is fuzzy, too—especially since the late 19th century, when scientific knowledge and technological innovation began to be coupled systematically in industrial, academic, and government research laboratories.
Each of Professor Goldman's 36 lectures highlights in a provocative way a single idea or development critical to the development of science in the West. The lectures are broadly chronological, beginning with prescientific know-how and the invention of writing, and advancing through modern times all the way to the development of chaos theory. In each lecture, Professor Goldman looks at not only the content of an idea that is fundamental for science, but also how that idea arose and what its impact has been throughout the centuries.
In the first third of the course, Professor Goldman engages in a sort of "reverse engineering" of what we mean by science today, identifying the origins of features that now seem essential for the existence of modern science.
Lecture 1 begins by looking back at the already impressive prescientific skills and know-how humans had achieved by the 4th century B.C.E., and Lecture 2 discusses the invention of writing and the spread of writing systems and texts from 3500 B.C.E. to the beginning of Classical antiquity.
Who Invented Ideas?
The invention of writing may not seem a scientific idea at all. Yet there is a profound assumption underlying the invention of writing, whose controversial implications are reflected in Socrates's argument against writing, as recounted in Plato's dialogue Phaedrus. Writing is also a technology and serves as a shining example of how technologies embody ideas, even though we tend to ignore the ideas when our attention dwells only on what the technologies do, how they do it, or what the consequences have been.
Between 500 B.C.E. and 300 B.C.E., Greek philosophers developed highly specific concepts of knowledge, reason, truth, nature, mathematics, logic, knowledge of nature, and the use of mathematics to describe nature—all in ways that continue to inform the practice of science to the present day. Lectures 3–5 are devoted to these ideas and their legacies.
Lecture 6 discusses the first appearance in Western history, perhaps in world history, of the idea of techno-science—technology derived from theoretical knowledge rather than from practical know-how. This was largely a Greek idea that was applied in the context of the rising Roman Empire, and the lecture describes selected Roman-era technologies that influenced modern science and engineering.
Lectures 7–11 explore a set of interrelated developments that together constitute a bridge between the ancient and early modern eras:
The idea of the university and its role as a progenitor of modern science
Medieval machinery and Europe's first Industrial Revolution
The Renaissance ideas of progress, the printed book, and mathematics as the language of nature.
All of these ideas are fundamental for science as we know it, and they are also fundamental for the rise of engineering and technological innovation.
Lecture 12 discusses Copernicus's idea of a moving Earth, the cultural consequences of that idea, and its subsequent evolution into an astronomical theory. Copernicus himself was wrong about a great deal—for example, planets move in orbits that are elliptical, not circular—but his idea helped clear the way for the foundational ideas of modern science that you'll explore in Lectures 13–17. Among these are the idea of method, mathematical ideas such as algebra and calculus, ideas of conservation and symmetry, the creation of instruments that extend the mind and not only our senses. All together, these ideas created a new conception of knowledge of nature.
Lectures 18–28 explore 19th-century scientific ideas of immense social, cultural, intellectual, as well as scientific, influence:
Time is an active dimension of reality and not merely a passive measure of change.
A chemical atom is an expression of a generic idea of fundamental units with fixed properties out of which nature is composed.
The cell theory of life, the germ theory of disease, and the gene theory of inheritance, can all been seen as conceptually allied to the atom idea—to the powerful notion that natural phenomena can be analyzed in terms of fundamental building blocks.
Energy, immaterial force fields, and relationships offer a contrasting, yet equally powerful, conception of processes as the most elementary features of nature.
Science can be allied systematically with technology—knowing with doing—to synthesize a new world.
Evolution epitomizes a process-oriented approach to science and can be extended from biology to scientific thinking generally.
Natural phenomena have a fundamentally probabilistic and statistical character.
New social institutions can play a pivotal role in science's ability to transform the world.
Lectures 29–35 discuss increasingly sophisticated scientific ideas of the 20th century, including relativity, quantum theory, the expanding universe, computer science, information theory, molecular biology; as well as the idea of systems, especially chaotic systems and self-organizing systems, plus the related ideas of ecology.
Lecture 36 concludes by reviewing today's ideas about science and technology in upcoming fields such as cognitive neuroscience, bio- and nanotechnology, and physicists' search for a Theory of Everything, and considers ideas, and their likely roles as motivators of future change.
Knowledge, Know-How, and Social Change
Scientific discoveries require scientific ideas. Scientific ideas primarily act on society through technology, but they also change our sense of who we are and of what the world is. Modern science is a uniquely Western cultural phenomenon, and the combination of abstract scientific knowledge with practical know-how in the 19th century made possible "techno-science," which has remained a relentless driver of social change ever since. x
Writing Makes Science Possible
Writing is a core commitment of science because scientific knowledge is an abstraction—not embodied in concrete things or processes. Cultures without writing may be quite sophisticated in other ways, and cultures can be highly literate without developing an idea of science. x
Inventing Reason and Knowledge
The idea of knowledge had to be invented. Plato and Aristotle defined knowledge as something universal, not linked to probabilities or context. For them, knowledge was timeless, universal, necessary, and certain, and their paradigm was deductive logical reasoning, as in geometry. x
The Birth of Natural Science
Plato believed that true reality was form, which exists separately from matter. Aristotle broke decisively with Plato by declaring there is only one reality, which is nature, and that all natural phenomena are to be explained within the framework of nature. Parmenides posited that reality was manifested in changeless things, while Heraclitus said reality was change or process—and the tension between these two approaches continues to this day. x
Mathematics as the Order of Nature
Pythagoras proposed a mathematical order underlying nature, and mathematics could be used to describe natural phenomena. Although Aristotle generally dismissed the value of mathematics for the study of nature, Archimedes and others followed the example of Pythagoras. x
The Birth of Techno-Science
In the 1st century B.C.E., the Roman architect Vitruvius wrote about the fruitful combination of abstract knowledge with practical know-how. Today we would call a person who combines both an engineer. Vitruvius did not originate this idea, but Roman society from his time forward experienced the first heyday of machines whose invention depended on mathematical knowledge. x
Universities Relaunch the Idea of Knowledge
In the 12th century, social pressure to make life better and to explore knowledge spawned universities across Europe. From the 12th through the 16th centuries, universities revived and extended Classical and Islamic learning in mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and science. x
The Medieval Revolution in Know-How
Parallel with the rise of universities was an explosion of technical skills supporting the development of water mills, sawmills, blast furnaces, and the like. The most famous gear-related invention of the age was the weight-driven mechanical clock. Improved sailing and navigation technologies supported increased trade. Banks and corporations were established. x
Progress Enters into History
The notion of progress did not begin with technology but with Petrarch and a concern about language. Humanist scholars developed scholarly techniques for reconstructing Classical texts then sought to surpass Classical learning. The Humanist idea of progress paved the way for the idea of social reform based on scientific reason. x
The Printed Book—Gutenberg to Galileo
Printing of texts and movable type were old technologies when Gutenberg introduced the latter to Europe. Unlike China and the Middle East, the West embraced metallic movable type and became "print drunk." The response triggered the creation of a vast sociotechnic system to supply, produce, and distribute texts. Institutions were created to protect and reward producers and increase literacy, promoting further increases in text production and distribution. x
Renaissance Painting and Techno-Science
The technique of perspective used by Renaissance painters made visual the notion that "reality" is structured by mathematics. The rebirth of techno-science depended largely on their work, with further contributions by Renaissance mapmaking, instrument tuning (musical theory), and books illustrating the design of machines. x
Copernicus Moves the Earth
Pythagoreans claimed that astronomical bodies were spheres, their orbits circles, and their motion constant because they were perfect. Copernicus replaced Ptolemy's Earth-centered model with a Sun-centered model, but it remained for his followers to make the planetary orbits elliptical, rather than circular, and posit an infinite universe. x
The Birth of Modern Science
Bringing together all of the ideas discussed to this point was the 17th century's idea of modern science. A new emphasis on scientific method was a critical factor in pulling everything together, though founding figures of this period such as René Descartes and Francis Bacon championed radically different methods. x
Algebra, Calculus, and Probability
During the 16th and 17th centuries, mathematics in the West took a remarkable turn. It moved from geometry, which the ancient Greeks had favored, to embrace algebra—which was as momentous as the transition from Ptolemaic astronomy to Copernican astronomy. Calculus provided an unprecedented tool for knowledge about change, and the mathematics of probability opened the way for knowledge about uncertainty. x
Conservation and Symmetry
Experience suggests that nature is orderly and lawful; if so, then something has to be conserved. From this notion slowly developed the ideas of conservation of momentum, matter, and energy; Einstein's idea that matter and energy are jointly conserved; and the use of mathematical invariances to understand deep symmetries in nature. x
Instruments as Extensions of the Mind
Galileo saw what he described as moons around Jupiter in the 17th century, but his description could not be verified independently for many years. If a scientific instrument gives a result that cannot be verified independently, then the result is really an extension of the mind rather than of the senses. This is no less true today: particle accelerators, for example, provide mountains of mathematical data that require interpretation. x
Time, Change, and Novelty
An idea becomes a scientific idea when it functions in the context of a scientific explanation. The idea of time is an excellent example. If, as Plato claimed, both real knowledge and ultimate reality are timeless, then time is insignificant. However, by the 18th century, the idea of time was increasingly regarded as the dimension containing hope for an improvement in the human condition. This, in turn, prefigured 19th-century scientific ideas of time as both irreversible and significant. x
The Atomic Theory of Matter
The theory of the atom began as an extension of Parmenides's view of reality as ultimately changeless. John Dalton in the early 19th century used a theory of changeless atoms in his examination of chemical reactions, and atomism gained prominence thereafter even as the atom was discovered to be mainly empty space and composed of parts, each with distinct properties. x
The Cell Theory of Life
What is life? An 18th-century debate pitting mechanism against vitalism was resolved, literally, when new microscopes of the early 19th century were used to proclaim in the late 1830s that cells were the building blocks of all living things. The view that cells were the "atoms" of life, in turn, provoked a search for what within the cell is the essence of life. x
The Germ Theory of Disease
The germ theory of disease is another instance of the atomistic style of thinking and the cornerstone of modern scientific medicine. The notion of disease caused by imbalances within the body was undermined when Pasteur and Koch showed how illness comes from the outside, an idea dating back to Hippocrates and the notion of miasmas. Resistance to the germ theory was understandable; some people had germs in their bodies but not the disease. x
The Gene Theory of Inheritance
Gregor Mendel was trying to confirm a theory about evolution when his experiments with pea plants led him to realize that inheritance was owed to discrete units. Yet gene theory rests less on Mendel's work than on experiments with fruit flies showing that x-rays could alter parts of chromosomes. If x-rays could do that, then genes must be real. x
Energy Challenges Matter
In the 19th century, with the rise of the science of thermodynamics, energy assumed a parallel reality to matter. Like matter, energy was seen to take many forms but was conserved. Unlike matter, the idea of energy quickly stimulated process theories in which patterns and relationships were real. x
Fields—The Immaterial Becomes Real
Faraday's introduction of fields as elements of physical reality in the 19th century was a giant step for modern science. But the difficulty of formulating a plausible physical mechanism for how fields work led to Maxwell's equations of electrodynamics—and a view of scientific theories as capturing our experience of a process, rather than a final truth about objects. x
Relationships Become Physical
Beginning in 1837, a few chemists came to believe that understanding a molecule required knowing not only what atoms the molecule had, but also the spatial relationships among those atoms. Pasteur relied on this insight; it forms one of the cornerstones of organic chemistry. The recognition of relationships as real also appeared in other 19th-century disciplines including symbolic logic, mathematics, and social science. x
Evolution as Process Science
Evolution has proven to be a cross-disciplinary idea, bringing contingency into scientific explanation and showing how novelty can emerge. Evolution also entails making time, which moves in one direction only, a fundamental feature of reality. x
Statistical Laws Challenge Determinism
Modern science was founded on determinism, but determinism was undermined by the recognition of probability in nature and by the claim that certain processes obeyed statistical laws. The kinetic theory of gases, thermodynamics, and radioactivity all showed that statistical laws had a place in scientific theory. This had far-reaching implications: If nature is probabilistic, then so, too, are theories and laws of nature. x
Techno-Science Comes of Age
A qualitative divide separates important 18th-century innovations in textiles, iron, and steam power from such 19th- and 20th-century innovations as electric power, plastics, and radio: The latter were made possible by science-informed engineering. Successful innovations became increasingly dependent on scientific knowledge and formally trained engineering—as well as supportive business acumen. x
Institutions Empower Innovation
Moving beyond improved versions of what already existed, such as water power, innovations increasingly appeared that could never have existed without scientific knowledge. Western societies accelerated this development by creating institutions explicitly designed to promote science-based innovation, including widespread engineering education, new ways of organizing companies, and supportive government policies. x
The Quantum Revolution
Quantum physics is the most revolutionary of 20th-century theories, and it is the most predictively successful physical theory ever. But it is still controversial as well as inconsistent with the general theory of relativity. Quantum mechanics imputes randomness, probability, and uncertainty to elementary physical processes. It redefines causality, space, time, matter, energy, the nature of scientific law and explanation, and the relationship between mind and world. x
Relativity Redefines Space and Time
Einstein's special theory of relativity forced a reconceptualization of Newtonian space and time, and proclaimed that matter and energy could be converted into one another. The general theory even redefined physical reality at the cosmological level. The properties of space and time are determined by the distribution of matter and energy; space and time are really names of relationships, not separate in their own right. x
Reconceiving the Universe, Again
In the 1920s, the scale of the universe changed dramatically with the discovery of thousands of galaxies beyond our Milky Way and the expansion of the universe. By 1963, the expanding universe was explained with a "big bang," and by 1980, an explanation of the big bang led to the proposal that the universe was unimaginably more vast than anything we could detect. x
The Idea behind the Computer
Alan Turing conceived of a machine that could solve any problem whose solution could be specified by a finite decision procedure, or algorithm. Turing recognized that increasingly powerful calculators could be reconceived as generalized problem-solving machines, even artificially intelligent machines. The computer went from being a calculator to a universal simulator. x
Three Faces of Information
Information is organized data, the content in which we are all awash. But information as conceived in Claude Shannon's mathematical theory of information is independent of content, an idea at the foundation of powerful information technologies that continue to change the world. Moreover, DNA and the new view of black holes as information structures, suggest, almost like something out of science fiction, that information seems to be physically real. x
Systems, Chaos, and Self-Organization
Atomistic thinking faces challenges from three closely related ideas from the 20th century: Phenomena are produced by systems; "chaotic" real-world systems are in fact orderly; and some systems are self-organizing. These systems display properties that aren't apparent in the properties of their individual constituents. That is, the wholes are more than the sums of their parts. x
Life as Molecules in Action
The molecular theory of life says that life can be fully explained in terms of molecules in action, using the concepts and the tools of physics and chemistry. The discovery that DNA molecules defined every life form on Earth sealed this shift. By the 1980s, the molecular theory of life was transforming medicine as well as the meaning of life. x
Great Ideas, Past and Future
Which scientific ideas will transform 21st-century life? Self-organization is fundamental to the emerging nanotechnology industry. Molecular biology and cognitive neuroscience continue their naturalization of human consciousness. Quantum chemistry makes possible molecular psychiatry and even molecular sociology. String theory controversially promises to unify the forces of nature into a comprehensive theory of everything. x

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenifer from Thought-provoking This course was so much more interesting than I thought it would be. Prof. Goldman covers the ideas as advertised but he adds so much context, history, and philosophy of ideas. The course could have been listed under Intellectual History just as easily.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KWilhelmi from A very good investment - of $ and time! Professor Goldman deserves his reputation! His students are so fortunate - and I am so grateful that he shared his expertise with a wider audience!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Annaj from We have watched several Great Courses. This one is absolutely the worst. The subject matter is not science, but philosophy. The Professor is very fidgety and gets lost in his presentation often.
Rated 1 out of 5 by WillieP from Do not buy I will return this for a refund. Dry lecture very little to do with science.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jeanben from Unusual approach to the subject Unusual approach to this subject. The course doesn't examine a specific scientific idea as much as how science and our scientific knowledge have evolved. Enthusiastic Presentation. Great depth of knowledge.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fnersch from A Brief Survey of Scientific Ideas This is a brief survey of how ideas in people's heads led to scientific discoveries thru the last several hundred years.
Rated 5 out of 5 by danrk from Why didn't I find this sooner? This is *the* most masterful set of lectures I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Dr. Steven Goldman is the model of an expert who not only knows about a subject, but cares deeply about it and knows how to convey it. There are many questions that fill my mind after watching these lectures, but none is bigger than the question, "Why didn't I find this sooner?". I have been interested in science since early in high school and it has taken a lot of effort to arrive at some of the conclusions and draw some of the connections that Dr. Goldman so neatly packages and presents here. I don't regret all the extra effort I went through, just as detours when traveling are sometimes better than what's on the itinerary. However, this is the best guide to understanding scientific progress that I know of and it represents how I would want to explain science to others. In truth, explaining science may be the most important social activity we can do because it's the strongest current in humanity's long term outcomes. Dr. Goldman structures the course prudently so that the big ideas stand out individually and in relation to other developments. Within each lecture, there is no shortage of asides, and at times I wondered if all the details could really be accurate. Under scrutiny, my research confirmed his points -- his accuracy is astounding. So, you get the best of both big ideas and details with this course. If I had to condense the course into sections, this is how it is arranged: Introduction Knowledge, know-how, and social change Ancient beginnings Further developments The birth of modern science in 17th Century Atomistic thinking Process thinking and challenges to materialism Big Science Quantum and relativity Computers Systems The future of science I cannot find many faults with this course. It gripped me completely and I really enjoyed the professor's easy-going presentation. For all his knowledge, he is still relatable and pauses to jest and humanize science. His asides are sometimes too frequent, but if you enjoy the subject as I do, these details are still enjoyable.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Joe the GOM from Not for everyone–heavy on philosophy This course is more philosophy than it is science. I was expecting something entirely different, and while I acknowledge that Dr. Goldman is very knowledgeable and the points he delivered generally insightful, I didn't enjoy the course because I wasn't really interested in this approach to science. The course description could have done a much better job of alerting potential viewers about the philosophic emphasis. I also found Goldman's agitated mannerisms distracting. Someone should have limited him to decaf during the taping of his lectures. If you like philosophy, you will probably like this course. If you want to learn about specific scientific ideas and how they impacted the world, this isn't for you.

Khronos, the group behind the OpenGL and Vulkan graphics APIs, has unveiled a new open standard virtual reality initiative at GDC 2017, known as OpenXR.
With the official release of the GenICam 3.0, integrators and end users will now be able to more easily deploy 3D cameras in vision systems, as the standard provides easier integration and access to 3D machine vision technologies.
This release of the GenICam standard—which marks the first time that access to 3D cameras is standardized—provides a means for communication and image acquisition between software and a camera. It also provides a controlled exchange which applies across various camera manufacturers and interfaces (GigE, USB3, CoaXPress, Camera Link HS). In addition, proprietary transport layers can make use of the new standardized GenICam 3D interface.
SENSIO (Montreal, Canada) is pleased to announce that the technical notes for the application of the DVB-3DTV specification to the SENSIO® Hi-Fi 3D format are now available for download from our website. Titled "CONFIGURATION FOR QUINCUNX SIGNALLING IN DVB-3DTV & HDMI 1.4A", the DVB-3DTV specification details the delivery system for frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services, enabling service providers to utilize their existing HDTV infrastructures to deliver 3DTV services that are compatible with 3DTVs already in the market.
This system covers both use cases of a set-top box delivering 3DTV services to a 3DTV via an HDMI connection, and a 3DTV receiving 3D services directly via a built-in tuner and decoder, and the application notes will enable the broadcast chain to deliver SENSIO® Hi-Fi 3D optimally.
Back in August, Sony, Panasonic and Samsung announced a new initiative to standardize active 3D glasses called the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative. Now this initiative has launched. The wireless protocols included in this standard are BlueTooth (radio frequency) and IR (infrared) The new glasses protocol will be compatible the XPanD 3D standard. Compatible glasses, external emitters, TV sets and projectors will show the logo displayed here under.
The DVB-3DTV specification has got the DVB’s seal of approval is for both streaming 3D through an HDMI cable or straight from a built-in tuner and decoder. subtitles over 3D are also part of the spec document.
ATSC 3D broadcast TV standard soon?

With a General Election looming, high speed rail looks set to take centre stage as the transport issue that will highlight differences between the main political parties. Report by Alexandra Wynne.
With the ever present threat of public spending cuts, debate surrounding a myriad of infrastructure projects is intense, with the question about how to pay for them to the fore.
While it may not prove to be an election winning issue, transport is an area where the main parties like to take ownership of − or fiercely object to − headline grabbing schemes.
Over the past year or so, the project most likely to divide politicians during transport electioneering was London’s £15.9bn Crossrail mega-rail scheme. For a time the Liberal Democrats had debated its benefits and each time it came up in the presence of most Tories it was met with something akin to indifference.
As its main backer − and in light of the others’ indecision − Labour looked like it would have the right to brand itself the party for investing in major transport infrastructure.
But in late January, shadow chancellor George Osborne finally broke his silence on Crossrail, offering the Conservatives’ strongest backing yet, proclaiming “we support Crossrail” in the party’s A New Economic Model: Eight Benchmarks for Britain report.
Now another major rail scheme has stolen the limelight − the proposed extension of the UK’s high speed rail network and with it, the potential to connect into a Europe-wide super-railway.
Transport secretary Lord Adonis has stressed that while he is a clear champion of the scheme, the long lead in time for such a large network means it will need the full support of all the main political parties from inception to completion.
But, in the current political climate and with just a couple of months until the General Election, cracks in the union are beginning to appear. At NCE’s Roads Summit in January shadow transport secretary Theresa Villiers declared high speed rail to be the only transport issue that she would be fighting on.
And just two weeks ago she made her first battle move by rejecting the chance to preview a report from government agency High Speed 2 (HS2), which details route options from London to Birmingham.
Adonis hit back, accusing Villiers of playing “cheap politics”. There were also reports that the Tories feared that perceived allegiance to such a scheme could prompt a voter backlash with concern that homes may be blighted by a new line.
Fighting back, shadow transport minister Stephen Hammond last month told NCE’s Future of High Speed Rail conference that he “firmly rejected” the allegations.
Appearing conciliatory, he said he believed the HS2 report would be of “high quality” and “useful”, particularly because it could feed into the Conservatives’ own studies.
But his positive remarks stopped there as it became clear the Tories preferred to highlight the differences between their approach and those of the other parties. Hammond added that the Conservatives did not want to be seen to be forming a “cosy” consensus on a route.
It is a clear political move made despite the knowledge that there could be repercussions. After her refusal to see the HS2 report, Villiers admitted that there was a risk that a newly elected Tory government’s review of such a scheme would likely mean delays to any proposed London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds high speed proposal.
Trying again to assuage further concern about the move, Hammond later backtracked, saying that following some “pretty serious discussions” he was confident construction could still be set to start in 2015, with the full scheme opening by 2027.
He also rejected suggestions that the Conservative plan to scrap the Labour-backed Infrastructure Planning Commission would create additional delays, labelling the suggestion “Labour Party spin”. He said that through existing National Policy Statements on transport and by creating between one and three hybrid bills to aid planning and consent he was confident that it would remain on track.
All of which leads the industry to question what it is the main parties would disagree on.
Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are all keen to back the principle of a high speed network − and one which could offer a real alternative to air travel and in particular create regeneration potential for UK cities that could be plugged into a European rail network.
The Liberal Democrats’ plan sets out a commitment to fund a high speed rail line from to the North of England and Scotland by setting up a Future Transport Fund. This would generate money by charging road hauliers for using motorways on a pay per mile basis with charges varying depending on emissions.
However, their plans stop short of a firm commitment on which cities would likely be on the network.
The Conservatives claim to hold a more advanced position. They were early supporters of a scheme and want the route to run from London, via Heathrow airport, to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
It is known that Adonis will give detailed options for a London to Birmingham route with a potential spur connecting to Heathrow.
They are firmly opposed to Heathrow’s proposed third runway − supported by the current Labour administration. Instead the Tories are focused on a route that would run parallel to popular air connections.
In addition, Hammond believes private investment will play a key role in financing it. He says that while 80% of the predicted £19.7bn costs estimated for the Tory scheme should be covered by the public purse, the remainder would come from the private sector. However, he was keen to emphasise that despite private involvement he did not envisage any kind of private finance initiative arrangement being chosen as the appropriate funding mechanism.
But the Labour view is the one for which the industry is waiting and Adonis is set to reveal his response to the HS2 report shortly.
He received the report at the end of last year and is expected to release his response in the next couple of weeks along with a White Paper.
Despite a reluctance to reveal any snippets in advance, it is known that Adonis will give detailed options for a London to Birmingham route with a potential spur connecting to Heathrow airport.
It will also outline plans for future links to Manchester and Scotland and there is much speculation that these would include lines running along east and west coast main line corridors to between London and Scotland. This is similar to the proposal put forward by high speed rail lobby group Greengauge 21.
One thing is clear, cross-party agreement on anything, including high speed rail, is unlikely before the election. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T16:14:33Z', 'url': 'https://www.newcivilengineer.com/high-speed-rail-the-fast-track-debate/5215041.article', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

If I rent a car, will you hold my passport as security?
Hi... if I rental a car, will you hold my passport as security?
Never. You will asked to show your passport at the desk so the staff will be able to photocopy it and give back to you straight away.
I wouldn't take any notice of what you read on the Internet. It is ILEGAL to hold someone's passport for any reason and you should never allow anyone to do so. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T11:00:42Z', 'url': 'https://carhirelocator.com/car-hire-questions/if-I-rent-a-car-will-you-hold-my-passport-as-security', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

The Chronicles of Kyokushin Karate in India
Karate has a very confused scenario in India which puts a beginner in the state of utter bewilderment. The different words like BUDO, Martial Arts, Kung- fu etc. appears as jargons to a starter. Removal of the mist of confusion about karate is important in order to understand the legacy.
The Initiation of Martial Arts
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin, and means “arts of Mars”, the Roman god of war.
There are many theories and evidences regarding the initiation of martial Arts. The most popular view suggests that the evolution of Asian martial arts as they are known today is thought to have originated around 500 A.D., when an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma (a prince in thePallava Kingdom in South India whoat an early age left his kingdom and prince hood and became a monk. At the age of twenty-two he was fully enlightened, and that was when he was sent as a messenger to China.) arrived in China. Legend has it that he taught Indian fighting exercises to the Chinese monks in order to improve their physical condition and this gave birth to Kung Fu . From there the art went to Korea where taekwondo developed. From there it travelled to Okinawa islands
The formation of Karate
In 1429, the three kingdoms on Okinawa unified to form the Kingdom of Ryūkyū. When King Shō Shin came into power in 1477, he banned the practice of martial arts. Tō-te and Ryukyu kobudō (weaponry) continued to be taught in secret. The ban was continued in 1609 after Okinawa was invaded by the Satsuma Domain of Japan. The bans contributed to the development of kobudō which uses common household and farming implements as weaponry. The Okinawans combined Chinese martial arts with the existing local variants to form Tōdeand formed Okinawa-te.
By the 18th century, different types of Te had developed in three different villages – Naha, Shuri, and Tomari. The styles were named Naha-te, Shuri-te and Tomari-te, respectively.Naha-te, Shuri-te and Tomari-te belong to a family of martial arts that were collectively defined as Tode-jutsu or To-de.
Ankoitosu and Ankoasato were the two exponents of the Okinawan shuri –te and are considered to be the “fathers of modern karate “. Gichin Funakoshi learnt the art from them and it is believed he brought it to Japan. After that Shotokan Karate was born and different other styles initiated. (which are now the part of World Karate Federation and follows non-contact karate rules)
Formation of Kyokushin Karate and KyokushinKai
SosaiMasutatsuOyama (original name Choi Yeong-eui) the founder of Kyokushin karate studied different martial arts. He has studied and practiced intensely the Okinawan Martial art under Gichin Funakoshi and many other masters. In a very young age he had mastered different arts but he was totally dissatisfied internally. He with an urge to find the ultimate truth went into solitude and trained in mountains intensely. He used to inspire himself by reading “The Book of Five Rings “by Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Japanese swordsman. After years training he gave birth to strongest full Contact Karate – KYOKUSHIN KARATE , which has
His power, skills and techniques conquered all and “KYOKUSHIN” soon became a name internationally.Finally in 1964 he formed the “International Karate OrganisationKyokushinKaiKan “. SosaiOyama passed away in the year 1994 leaving behind a huge organization, which had its branches in about 120 countries and had 10 million members. The organization gradually broke down into groups each claiming their authority over original Honbu. The organization broke into two prominent groups one led by Mr. Matsui and the other one started running democratically. With time to resolve legal dispute the second group was renamed in 1996 as NPO KyoKUSHINKAI which is referred to as WKO (World Karate Organisation) also and the president was Shihan Nishida.
THE INDIAN SCENARIO
In India Kyokushin karate entered in the year 1977. Shihan Shivaji Ganguly,then 21 started practicing Kyokushin Karate. In 1982 Shihan Ganguly completed his shodan and won the 1st runners up trophy in Asian Championship in Singapore which highlighted India in the map of Kyokushin karate. Soon after that corruption started invading Kyokushin in India. He being a man of principles stood against the corruption and started newly. He received huge support from all the contemporary students .
Soon after that he got an opportunity to train under the founder of Kyokushin Karate himself. His dedication made him one of the favourite students of Sosai Mas Oyama. Many tried along with him but could not withstand the intensity of the uchideshi training which he went through. He completed Nidan by doing 20 men kumite under the supervision of Sosai himself. He was the only Indian who was allowed by Sosai to appear for third dan within 10 months. He lived upto his guru ‘s expectation and impeccably completed 30 men kumite ( one minute each ) atHonbu (World H.Q. , Japan) and received the belt from Sosai’s hand . Being a native of a third world country this was really difficult for him both economically and physically. But seeing his iron determination Sosai gave him the charge as a branch chief.
It is because of him that Sosai came to India in 1991 as a chief guest of the National tournament which was started by Shihan Ganguly in the name of Sosai Mas Oyama – “Oyama Cup”. Read More...
Seeing his wonderful advancements in 1991 Sosai awarded him with 5th Dan in the branch chief camp at Ugawara , Japan. He started his work vigorously and with full determination he dedicated himself for the propagation of the art nationally. He selflessly started teaching the art to the young generation. At that time he became the only icon of Karate in West Bengal and in India. The youth started following him then.
During that time without thinking of getting benefitted economically he even taught many poor and underprivileged students free of cost. Mr. Ganguly became more popular in the karate world of India. His performance and strength started inspiring people and the other karatekas from other organisations got attracted towards Mas Oyama’sBudo Karate. He used to follow Mas Oyama’s principles of BUDO spirit blindly and has never compromised with indiscipline. Shihan Ganguly formed the organization like his family with intense love and care , spending not only years , months and days , but also every minute and second behind the development of his students and tried to inculcate the true Budospirit in them .
After Sosai’s death when the mother organization got divided he chose KyokushinKai from its inception and stood firmly with the organization whereas his contemporaries chose the organization led by Mr. Matsui. He was named as Asian Chairman in 1996 and from then onwards he founded KyokushinKai India under the leadership of WKO and dedicatedly started working for the development of the organization. However, the organisation joined in collaboration with IKO World So-Kyokushin on October 2016 due to unavoidable circumstances. He served the organization as the Asian Representative for 16 years and then he resigned and became the country representative of India. He is still carrying on with full dedication at the age of 60. The Indian organization is a government registered body and is running democratically with Shihan Ganguly working as a president.
KYO KUSHINKAI INDIA
Kyokushinkai India is a registered body operating nationally. It is founded by Shihan Shivaji Ganguly, 6th Dan Black Belt and it is the official branch of IKO World SO-KYOKUSHINKAI (Shizouka, Japan) whose president is Shihan Hasegawa and vice-president Shihan Ohishi .

Why Location Matters to Manufacturers in Lessening the Tax Bite
A manufacturing company must carefully assess the type of taxes imposed and the methodology in computing these taxes in each location under consideration.

Incentives for Advanced Manufacturing: Out of Step with the Times
Critical Site Selection Factor #10: Corporate Tax Rate Takes a Big Bite
Understanding Economic Incentives in Site Selection
Critical Site Selection Factor #8: State & Local Incentives Figure More Heavily
When corporate executives are contemplating their next facility location, taxes and incentives are often key considerations in the location-decision process. State and local taxes represent a significant business cost for corporations operating in the United States and often have a material impact on net operating margins. Consequently, business location decisions for new manufacturing facilities, corporate headquarters relocations, and the like are often influenced by assessments of relative tax burdens across multiple states.
Statutory tax rates only tell part of the story. While topline rates are important, and high rates may provide “sticker shock” for companies considering locating within a given state, they are just one component of an enterprise’s effective tax burden. Tax incentives, apportionment, throwback rules, and other factors often have a dramatic effect on effective tax burdens. In some cases, states with low statutory tax rates often impose high effective tax burdens, and vice versa.
A Recent Study
The recent study Location Matters – The State Tax Costs of Doing Business by the Tax Foundation in collaboration with KPMG LLP highlights state differences in tax costs (measured as Total Effective Tax Rate) for a variety of hypothetical operations. It compares tax burdens in the 50 states (plus the District of Columbia) considering seven different types of businesses: corporate headquarters, R&D facilities, retail, capital-intensive manufacturing, labor-intensive manufacturing, call centers, and distribution/warehouse operations. The study ranks states by tax costs for newly established operations (potentially triggering incentives) and mature operations (older than 10 years) in a Tier 1 city (major metro) and Tier 2 city (less than 500,000 in population) in each state.
For each different model, the study assesses the tax costs borne by a mature operation — one that is at least 10 years old — versus those borne by a new facility. The study assumes that mature operations are typically no longer eligible for tax incentive programs, while new facilities are generally eligible for most incentives. The study also focuses on firm types that are also very mobile, with the assumption that the owners and investors have considerable flexibility in where to locate or relocate based on factors ranging from taxes to labor force, making them frequent recipients of economic development subsidies and tax incentives.
Each of these companies is assumed to have out-of-state customers or clients. Thus, how each state apportions a company’s income is a critical factor in determining a state’s effective tax rate for that industry.
Total Effective Tax Rate (TETR) For New Capital-Intensive Manufacturer
Manufacturing Still Highly Coveted
Manufacturing in the United States has generally been on the decline since the 1970s, when it accounted for one fifth of the labor force, with nearly 18 million manufacturing employees in 1977, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Census of Manufacturers. Intense foreign competition likely contributed to a reduction in U.S. jobs as companies expanded overseas. The decline of U.S. manufacturing hit its lowest point in 2010, in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Today, U.S. manufacturing appears to be rebounding due to factors such as increasing overseas wages (particularly in China, where manufacturing wages are considered to be higher than ever before), transportation costs and complexity, and relatively inexpensive investment costs available in the United States, perhaps due in part to state incentives.
Manufacturing is still a highly coveted industry, and its positive effect on a community is well understood. Manufacturing jobs are generally considered good jobs, and the income they generate for workers can, in turn, help bring revitalization to the local economy through a multiplier effect, including appreciating property values, increased revenue for school districts, and increased discretionary income and consumption. Many states offer generous incentive packages to win these jobs and the large capital investment that these projects bring. Two of the seven business scenarios studied in the Location Matters study are a capital-intensive manufacturer, such as a steel company, and a labor-intensive manufacturer, such as an auto or truck manufacturer. All manufacturing facilities are located in a Tier 2 city.
Income, Unemployment, & Property Taxes
The study indicates that while often substantial, business income tax burdens are just one part of the actual burden for new companies. Unemployment insurance tax burdens, particularly for labor-intensive manufacturing, are shown to be a significant cost. As an incentive for manufacturers, the majority of states offer some degree of sales tax exemption on manufacturing equipment, including five states that do not have a state sales tax at all and three that do not impose a sales tax on any equipment. While manufacturing equipment generally receives favorable sales tax treatment, property tax burdens vary considerably.
Property taxes are shown to be a significant factor for capital-intensive manufacturing operations, as they have a substantial amount of equipment potentially subject to tax. States that limit their property tax base to land and buildings, rather than taxing equipment and inventory, offer a lower tax environment for both capital-intensive and labor-intensive manufacturing firm types. Thirty-nine states offer some degree of property tax abatement for new capital-intensive manufacturers, and a few states go so far as to practically eliminate property tax liability over a 10-year period.
One interesting finding for new manufacturing companies is the positive impact of favorable apportionment factors and the absence of a throwback rule in computing the overall tax burden. In many cases, these two factors may be more important to a firm than considering a lower corporate income tax rate. For example, Colorado’s income tax rate is one of the lowest at 4.63 percent, yet Colorado’s income tax burden is one of the highest due to single sales factor apportionment and a throwback rule which exposes “nowhere income” attributable to states with which a firm lacks nexus to in-state taxation.

Credits & Incentives
In our work with companies, we have often found that credits and incentives are one of the most important considerations for new companies and frequently prove to be a deciding factor to locate in a particular place. Substantial credits and incentives may often transform traditionally heavy tax burden states, such as New York and New Jersey, into attractive business climates for new manufacturing companies. Generally, however, the actual benefit from credits and incentives depends on a firm’s business needs. States with withholding tax rebates and jobs tax credits are likely more beneficial for new labor-intensive manufacturers, while investment tax credits and property tax abatements are generally more beneficial for new capital-intensive manufacturers.
Incentives for Capital-Intensive Manufacturers: Louisiana and Kansas rank 1 and 2, respectively, among U.S. states for new capital-intensive manufacturers due to generous incentives such as the Quality Jobs withholding tax rebate program, industrial tax exemption, and inventory tax credit for Louisiana; and the High Performance Incentive Program, Promoting Employment Across Kansas (PEAK) program, and a sizeable property tax abatement for Kansas. Louisiana also benefits from having the lowest corporate income tax burden due to favorable apportionment factors and the absence of a throwback rule, as well as the second-lowest unemployment insurance tax burden. Kansas does not have favorable apportionment factors or the absence of a throwback rule, but it ranks well due to a low property tax burden, important to capital-intensive manufacturing companies, as well as a low corporate income tax burden, thanks to the High Performance Incentive Program, one of the most substantial investment tax credits.
Not surprisingly, states that lack property tax abatements have a higher tax burden, and several of these also impose a tax on inventory. Yet, among those that impose an inventory tax, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Georgia offer generous credits and incentives that more than compensate for this specific tax burden.
Incentives for Labor-Intensive Manufacturers: Louisiana again ranks number 1 for new labor-intensive manufacturers due to generous incentives such as the Quality Jobs withholding tax rebate program, industrial tax exemption, and inventory tax credit, as well as having the lowest corporate income tax burden due to favorable apportionment factors and the absence of a throwback rule, as well as the some of the lowest unemployment insurance and property tax burdens.
Generally, the states that perform well for labor-intensive manufacturing offset the costs associated with labor through substantial withholding tax rebates, such as the Nebraska Advantage Act Wage Credit, or generous jobs tax credits, such as the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program. Sixteen states offer withholding tax rebates, 24 states offer investment tax credits, and 24 states offer jobs tax credits to new labor-intensive manufacturers, which in some cases completely eliminate income tax burdens, at least for the first few years of operations.
Fighting to win back manufacturing jobs to the Garden and Empire states, New Jersey and New York have introduced the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program and the New York Excelsior Program, two of the most significant incentive programs currently available in the U.S. Effective beginning with the 2014 tax year, New York also applies a zero percent business income tax rate on qualifying manufacturers. These improvements have led New Jersey to move from 28 to 3 and New York to move from 26 to 8 for new labor-intensive manufacturing companies, since the previous Location Matters study.
In Sum
Manufacturing companies are starting to expand in the United States, thanks in part to competitive labor rates, reasonable business costs, and substantial state and local incentives. But just as manufacturing companies differ in their composition, such as labor-intensive or capital-intensive, states also differ in the types of taxes they impose and methodology in computing these taxes. In addition, each state applies different types of credits and incentives to help lower business costs and entice companies to invest in its state. A state with a low corporate income rate may create a substantial tax burden for a new firm, while a state with a high corporate income rate may, in actuality, impose only a minimal tax burden on the new investing firm.
States are also constantly changing their tax policies, as they compete for new jobs and investment. The decision to establish a manufacturing plant is a serious and costly one, generally requiring significant capital and a long-term commitment. It is critical that new manufacturing companies carefully assess all state and local costs of doing business before making a final decision.

Every time we start with the module on mixing, our faculty is asked multiple questions about the mixing process.The most frequently asked question is how should one improve their mixing technique so that they can start putting out mixes that sound great. Even though students understand how to EQ and compress sounds, they can’t seem to tie the whole thing together in a mix. It was high time we put out a blog that addressed these problems. This post will help you figure out how you can improve your mixing skills.
Our faculty is often asked how one should improve their mixing technique so that they can start putting out mixes that sound great. This post will help you figure out how you can improve your mixing skills.
All aspiring audio engineers go through this, Its part of the learning process. I agree it can be quite frustrating to spend hours sitting and EQing a drum sound just to find that it sounds completely different outside. A good mix engineer helps consolidate the producer’s vision and bring out their signature sound. I have enumerated some of the reasons why this happens below. Furthermore, what aspiring mix engineers can do to fix these problems.
All of the mix engineers and faculty members who I have worked with over the years have stressed on this point. This is a important and highly underrated point. Lets break it down. All songs have mainly 4 elements. (i) Foundation (ii) Lead (iii) Rhythm (iv) Harmonic Section (Pads) Finding a balance between these elements is the first thing to look out for. Furthermore, If you start off with a song that has too much bass/kick, its very easy to go down the rabbit hole and lose hours working on something that fundamentally off balance. When we begin our module on mixing, the first thing that our faculty teaches is what we call the art of balance.
Understand and practice the art of balance: Try to find what emotion every balance brings out of the song. For example: a song with a stronger/punchier/accented foundation will end up making the song feel more groovier/funkier. Moreover, if the Harmonic section like the pads of a song are louder the entire song will sound airier/spacier.A good initial step would be to play around with the faders. Don’t get into eqing or compression and try to attain a good mix with just this.
I have seen a lot of my students try and bring in the visual sense when trying to mix. While it may seem like a quick solution, this method can be very deceiving and lead you to make errors. Furthermore, Don’t look at a visualizer or a frequency analyzer and cut the low frequencies. What you should do is trust your ears, and know that it’s okay to make these mistakes, since the whole point of learning to mix is to make these tiny mistakes and train your ear in the process. Soon you will start grasping the nuances of mixing. Such as the amount of eqing or compression needed in certain parts in order to bring out a certain sound. For example: One of my students under compressed a sound because the GR meter showed -6db and he had read somewhere that one should not compress more than 6db. To sum up this tip, If the sound needs it, feel free to use it. Trust your sonic instincts.
Its very easy to get carried away when using effects. Make sure that you don’t use too much reverb and/or delay in your tracks. Try to use effects in such a way that they blend with the track and add to it rather than causing a distraction and diverting the listener’s attention towards the effect itself. Besides, effects are great to create interest in a mix. Adding too much ends up taking away from the song itself.
Your job as a mix engineer is to direct the listeners attention through the song. In terms of focus, try to make the mix as clean as possible. Furthermore, at any point of time it should be clear to the listener what the focus element of the song is. It is widely accepted that a layman cant hear more than 2 ½ sounds. Balance and EQ your focus elements in such a way that they are sitting on top of the rest of the arrangement. This will make the mix inherently sound good.
Finally, we approach the one step that has eluded most students. This tip is pretty obvious but also the most difficult one to execute. All aspiring mix engineers should practice consciously and mix with the perspective of how your mix will translate outside the studio. Do this and you will find improvement after 10 more mixes, its very similar to learning an instrument or training. Building a perspective when mixing takes time. Put in the time and you will get results.
Mixing is a skill that is easy to learn but hard to master. Just like every other career opportunity in this vibrant field, you have to understand the fundamentals and apply them in practical scenarios. At the academy, we try and encourage students to go out there and take up projects that will challenge them. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T16:26:00Z', 'url': 'https://academy.gray-spark.com/5-music-mixing-tips/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Leica Digital M in the works

M. Perton
Leica's forays into the digital world have been something of a mixed bag, with some of the more prominent Leica-branded or Leica-compatible cameras — including Epson's R-D1 rangefinder and the Panasonic-built Digilux line — being made by other companies. Now, however, word is trickling out that Leica is planning a product the company had previously said would never see the light of day: a digital version of the Leica M rangefinder. According to reports, the Digital M will be powered by a 10 megapixel Kodak imager, will come equipped with a full range of new lenses, will have a 1.3x focal-length conversion ratio, and will debut at Photokina 2006, with a full rollout sometime in 2007. If you've got a pile of Leica lenses and can't bear to wait, you can always pick up an R-D1 to tide you over; it'll handle your glass, and sells for a mere $3,000.

Role of mutation in the gyrA and parC genes of nalidixic-acid-resistant salmonella serotypes isolated from animals in the United Kingdom
Laura Piddock
I McLaren
Deborah Griggs
To answer the question as to whether isolates of salmonella from animals with decreased susceptibility to quinolones possess the same mechanism of resistance as isolates from humans, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a 347 base pair fragment equivalent to codons 39-159 covering the quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA gene of Salmonella typhimurium NCTC 74, and 196 veterinary isolates of 26 serotypes of salmonella (109 from turkeys, 29 from chickens, the remainder from cattle, parrots, pigs, dogs, a pigeon, an exotic bird, a duck, a partridge, a sheep, a horse and environmental samples including litter, a nest and water). All PCR products were electrophoresed for single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP). The DNA sequence of all eight novel SSCP patterns was determined. Nucleotide substitutions were identified in the gyrA gene of all except two isolates; all substitutions conferred a substitution at serine 83 or aspartate 87, as has previously been shown for isolates from humans. No mutations conferring an amino acid substitution in parC (the gene encoding the secondary target for quinolones) were revealed in the 48 isolates requiring 0.5-1 mg/L ciprofloxacin for inhibition, or the isolates for which no mutation in gyrA was revealed. The accumulation of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was determined for 30 representative isolates (of which five were multiply drug resistant). Five isolates accumulated one-quarter to one-half the concentration achieved by the corresponding wild-type serotype. For two of these five isolates no mutation in gyrA was revealed, and one lacked OmpF.

High-protein insect studied at MSU

Agriculture, Insects
MISSISSIPPI STATE – Imagine an insect that can eat nearly anything, control microbes, live off of water alone in the adult stage, and be a good source of protein for animal feed. The black soldier fly is real, not science fiction, and it has researchers at Mississippi State University abuzz with excitement.
John Schneider, a professor of entomology in MSU’s Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology, said the black soldier fly is a native insect common to the Southeast. Because it is not attracted to human living spaces or food, it is not considered a pest. As part of the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station, MSU scientists are studying the black soldier fly as a potential solution to dealing with large amounts of waste while also generating a feed product.
“Black soldier flies are 40 to 45 percent protein by dry weight,” he said. “Theoretically, one metric ton can be produced per day in the space of a medium-sized house, and used as a feed product.”
Harvested larvae can be dried and milled to create a high-protein meal for livestock, poultry and aquaculture consumption, Schneider said. Due to their high oil content, black soldier fly larvae may even be useful for biofuel production.
“They’re not a known disease carrier, they don’t bite or sting, and they’re not a nuisance,” he said. “They’re a versatile species with huge potential.”
Alfredo Llecha from Santiago de Compostela, Spain, is a visiting scholar to the MSU Insect Rearing Center in the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology. He said black soldier fly larvae will eat almost anything – manure, carcasses – without any remaining harmful fungi or microbial residue. These insects require no special diet, so they can be fed nearly any kind of agricultural byproducts or waste.
“If we can supply them with food and remove their waste products, they could potentially deal with significant amounts of pathogen-laden agricultural wastes,” Schneider said.
While conducting the annual MSU Insect Rearing Workshop in 2010, Schneider and professor emeritus Frank Davis learned that attendee Llecha had been rearing black soldier fly larvae in captivity.
“Several years ago, I was rearing different kinds of insects and beetles, and I found an American living in Vietnam who was researching this fly in the wild. He could not rear them in captivity, but only in the wild due to the tropical environment,” Llecha said. “In colder weather they have to be reared in a lab or special facilities. I bought some larvae and finally was able to rear them in an insect cage.”
Llecha came to MSU in June 2011 to share his expertise and to develop improved rearing methods for the black soldier fly.
“MSU is rearing millions of larvae and refining our methods,” Llecha said. “Our first goal is to design an ideal system for rearing black soldier flies. There is a lot of research to be done to optimize the system.”
Llecha said he has worked with MSU scientists to design an environmentally friendly building specifically for rearing black soldier flies. Llecha and his family have offered to make a donation of $100,000 to start the project.
The new facility will expedite black soldier fly rearing and research and expand the internationally renowned MSU Insect Rearing Workshop.
“Registration for the annual workshop is filled a year in advance. We could have a second workshop on rearing, and a special workshop focused on the black soldier fly every year,” Llecha said.

A Recycling Program That Turns K-Cups into Cement
It’s small, but it exists: in Canada, there’s a program that recycles K-Cups into cement. In 2014, it recycled about 1.4 million K-Cups for this purpose by drying the pods, shredding them, and heating them to 2000°C to form ash, which is subsequently turned into cement. The program has been so successful that it may expand into more Canada locations.

Can we shift both king and his throne to Vidhana Soudha?!
we need to find better rationalizations to these rituals, and better representatives deserving of this honour. the rituals themselves i am not against. they provided much needed jingchak and glitz – the hallmark of our soft power than even took over china not to mention other unmentionables, who cry despite all our theories and revelations, we are the same people – all that is good in us is bcoz of our lard, and that is bad is because of you idol worshippers. but that is on a tangent.
but, ignoring all that mayy kayy parchkoLing, we need to find reinvent better objects of all this reverence.
Not at all possible..even to Bangalore palace..
Both are not possible! It seems , Kengal Hanumanthaiah had said that he could not shift two tings from Mysore to bangalore…one was the Chamundi Hills and the other was KRS….

Native plant research with green roofs
June 17, 2011, Vineland, Ont. – New research sponsored by the Canadian
Ornamental Horticulture Alliance (COHA) at Vineland Research and
Innovation Centre (VRIC) and Nova Scotia Agricultural College will
assess plant diversity and survival issues for green roofs.
June 17, 2011, Vineland, Ont. – New research sponsored by the Canadian Ornamental Horticulture Alliance (COHA) at Vineland Research and Innovation Centre (VRIC) and Nova Scotia Agricultural College will assess plant diversity and survival issues for green roofs.
“Multi-year survivability has been an ongoing issue for green roof habitats in Canada. With this research we are particularly interested in moving away from the more common plantings dominated by sedum species to a broader selection of native plants that demonstrate sun, wind, cold and drought tolerance,” said Dr. Rumen Conev, an ornamental plant breeding researcher at Vineland.
With over 20 new native species being studied, a green solution to making Canadian buildings more energy efficient could be right under our feet.
The environmental benefits of green roofs are already well-documented – significant reductions in building heating and cooling costs, stormwater runoff management, and natural habitat creation. However, a lack of research into planting options and managing green roof health in Canadian climatic conditions has been a barrier to greater usage.
“Canadian cities are lagging behind in North American green roof rankings”, said Andy Kuyvenhoven, president of both Kuyvenhoven Greenhouses Inc. and the COHA. “Growers and nurseries have a suite of native plants that we believe can do the job.”
This research, he added, will confirm the best choices from dozens of species that are already highly adapted to and can help resolve the issues of the Canadian conditions.
“As a grower I am interested in understanding how best to start plants in the nursery to ensure successful transition to a green roof habitat,” said Bill Stensson, president of Sheridan Nurseries Ltd. “Our industry wants to see a green roof explosion in this country with planting materials that can survive for 50 years, not one or two.”
Funding for this research was received in part from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s agri-science cluster initiative. Vineland’s green roof research initiative will be on display beginning in June 2011 at Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in the heart of Niagara’s horticultural zone.

Oregon Should Retain International Tax-Haven Law
POLICY INSIGHT
Home / blog / State Budget and Tax / Oregon Should Retain...
Michael Mazerov
Oregon lawmakers are about to repeal an effective 2013 law that limits corporations’ ability to cut their taxes by shifting profits they earned in the state to their subsidiaries in foreign tax havens. Corporate representatives argue that Oregon no longer needs the law because the state can piggyback on new federal rules — under the new tax law that President Trump and Congress enacted in December — aimed at preventing international profit shifting. But those rules have just taken effect, and many experts question how effective they’ll be. The Oregon House should amend the bill to preserve the tax-haven law and send it back to the Senate.
Here’s the background: Like almost all states, Oregon requires multistate corporations to report their total nationwide profits to the state, which then taxes part of those profits based on the company’s level of activity in the state. In 2013, Oregon became the third state to require multinational corporations to include in that total the profits of their subsidiaries in low-tax foreign countries. (Several other states have since taken similar steps.) This requirement prevents a company from cutting its state taxes by artificially shifting income to a foreign subsidiary.
Corporate lobbyists have waged a relentless campaign to narrow or repeal the law, which applies to most major tax havens. That’s not surprising; corporations subject to Oregon’s corporate profits tax owed an estimated $28 million more in taxes in 2014 due to the law, according to a Legislative Revenue Office study. Also, multinationals with a major presence in Oregon have many subsidiaries in countries commonly used for artificial profit shifting. For example, Nike reports 39 subsidiaries in the Netherlands — the world’s largest recipient of artificially shifted profits, according to Reed College economist Kimberly Clausing, a leading expert.
Corporate lobbyists seized on must-pass legislation to address how Oregon will conform its tax code to the new federal tax law and evidently convinced the bill’s sponsors to include language that repeals the tax-haven requirement retroactively to the start of 2017. Their arguments for repeal, however, don’t hold water. They claimed, for example, that the requirement may be ruled unconstitutional and is on the verge of widespread litigation, even though a nearly identical Montana law has been on the books for 13 years and its legality has never been successfully challenged.
They also claimed that Oregon’s requirement is unnecessary because the new federal tax law includes rules to prevent international income-shifting, even though the law firms representing many of these same corporations are organizing a national coalition to block states from piggybacking on the new federal rules that tax tax-haven profits. Moreover, the new federal rules only took effect on January 1, and the IRS has issued no guidance on how to implement them. Several tax experts warn that firms can easily “game” the new rules, and others warn that the new tax law overall will encourage more international income shifting, not less.
Oregon should not repeal its tax-haven law until there’s significant evidence both that the new federal rules are actually reducing international income-shifting and that states can legally adopt those rules themselves.

“This excellent handbook on the Washington-based international financial institutions and the debt mechanism by means of which the Global South is subjugated is not only an indispensable tool for pro-poor anti-debt activists, but also a very useful synthesis that can and should be used in classrooms.” —Gilbert Achcar, Professor of Development Studies School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
“Éric Toussaint is one of the brightest and most influential economists of his generation. He is the founder of the CADTM, and has gained a worldwide reputation for his exemplary struggle against the ‘odious debt’ strangling countless countries in the South.” —Jean Ziegler, former UN Special Rapporteur
Mainstream economists tell us that developing countries will replicate the economic achievements of the rich countries if they implement the correct “free-market” policies. But scholars and activists Toussaint and Millet demonstrate that this is patently false. Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence, they explain how developed economies have systematically and deliberately exploited the less-developed economies by forcing them into unequal trade and political relationships. Integral to this arrangement are the international economic institutions ostensibly created to safeguard the stability of the global economy—the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank —and the imposition of massive foreign debt on poor countries. The authors explain in simple language, and ample use of graphics, the multiple contours of this exploitative system, its history, and how it continues to function in the present day.
Ultimately, Toussaint and Millet advocate cancellation of all foreign debt for developing countries and provide arguments from a number of perspectives—legal, economic, moral. Presented in an accessible and easily-referenced question and answer format, Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank is an essential tool for the global justice movement.
Éric Toussaint, a doctor in political science, is president of the Committee for the Abolition of Third World Debt, CADTM Belgium. He is author of A Diagnosis of Emerging Global Crisis and Alternatives, and The World Bank: A Critical Primer, among other books.
Damien Millet teaches mathematics and is spokesperson for CADTM France. He is the author of L’Afrique sans dette, and co-author with Éric Toussaint of Tsunami Aid or Debt Cancellation.

Johnny Spero’s reservations-only restaurant opens near Eastern Market.
Suna’s entrance is just off the side of Acqua Al 2. Customers traverse a low-lit passageway up the stairs before entering the restaurant. Photograph by Dakota Fine.
If there’s one trend that’s both telling of the present dining culture and promising for its future, it’s young chefs opening small, ambitious restaurants (think Toki Underground or Little Serow). The latest: Suna, a tasting-menu-only eatery tucked inside the former apartment and office space above Acqua Al 2 in Capitol Hill’s Eastern Market neighborhood.
Though Acqua’s Ari Gejdenson is the owner—he lived in the space before it was converted to a restaurant— the 36-seat, reservations-only operation is wholly separate from the bustling neighborhood trattoria downstairs. Chef Johnny Spero’s résumé includes time at Komi, Town House in Chilhowie, Virginia, and Copenhagen’s ultra-famous Noma, and his concept for Suna reflects these influences. Walk up a low-lit staircase from street level and you’ll find a serene yet cozy dining room lined with painted brick walls and refinished beams, with only a single menu on the wooden tables. The card offers two options: a four-course tasting menu for $48, or eight courses for $78. Wine pairings can be provided for both, and in the future, cocktails and beers will be designed to complement dishes.
Suna. 214 Seventh St., SE; 202-450-4585 (reservations required). Open Tuesday through Saturday, beginning at 5:30. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T10:42:24Z', 'url': 'https://www.washingtonian.com/2012/11/14/the-very-first-photo-tour-of-sunas-hush-hush-capitol-hill-location-photos-and-menu/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Leonard J. O'Hanley
(1949 - February 28, 2018)
Longtime Alaska resident Leonard J. O'Hanley passed away suddenly due to a pneumonia-related infection on Feb. 28, 2018. Lenny was a registered Professional Land Surveyor and had worked both in the field and in managerial roles across Alaska since 1975. At the time of his death, his survey license registration was the one used as matter of record on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS).
Surviving friends and relatives have been particularly affected by Lenny's sudden passing. Several have commented on his extraordinary kindness, generosity and warmth of spirit. Lenny was always known to offer an easy ear to talk to and was an empathetic friend to anyone experiencing hardship. Anyone who knew him would also be quick to point out his avid love of sports, especially Major League Baseball, college hockey and Formula One racing. Some of his most fond memories occurred peering into the Green Monster as a child; freezing at Candlestick and later celebrating at Pac-Bell Park when the Giants won the Pennant; and watching Grand Prix racing with close friends in Montreal, Canada.
Lenny's adventurous spirit prompted him to drive to Alaska from Boston along with his former wife, Clarissa; his dog, Hobo; and her cat, Elsa, in their blue Ford van in 1975. They had planned only to stay for a year, but even 43 years later he felt Alaska was the best place in the world to call home. They built a house in Palmer with beautiful views of Pioneer Peak, and eventually he moved to downtown Anchorage, where he could bike down to Mulcahy to catch a game and enjoy annual horse-drawn carriage rides on Christmas Eve with his closest friends and family.
Lenny will be missed most of all by his adoring daughter, Tara, and devoted grandson, Luke. Teddy and Oso come in a close second.
A Funeral Mass will be held in Lenny's honor at Holy Family Cathedral at 12 p.m. on Saturday, March 17, 2018.
Published in Anchorage Daily News from Mar. 16 to Mar. 17, 2018
A notice from Alyeska Corporate Communications also added, "a celebration-of-life potluck gathering and salmon bake will be held in Anchorage on June 9, 2018. Friends and colleagues are invited and encouraged to join."

I have fond very memories of working with Lenny. He was a gentle soul. Thoughts and prayers to his entire family. | {"pred_label": "__label__cc", "pred_label_prob": 0.6794036626815796, "wiki_prob": 0.3205963373184204, "source": "cc/2023-06/en_head_0047.json.gz/line1279217"} |
1 Samuel 15 – 2018-10-29
By carmenhsu In 1 Samuel, Devotion Text with Comments Off on 1 Samuel 15 – 2018-10-29
Bible Text: 1 Samuel 15:17-35 (ESV)17 And Samuel said, “Though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 18 And the Lord sent you on a mission and said, ‘Go, devote to destruction the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you pounce on the spoil and do what was evil in the sight of the Lord?” 20 And Saul said to Samuel, “I have obeyed the voice of the Lord. I have gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me. I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.” 22 And Samuel said,
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
he has also rejected you from being king.”
24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me that I may bow before the Lord.” 26 And Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you. For you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.” 27 As Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore. 28 And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. 29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret.” 30 Then he said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow before the Lord your God.” 31 So Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul bowed before the Lord.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.” 33 And Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul. 35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Reflection & Application: 1 Samuel 15:19-24
What is the answer to Samuel’s questions in v. 19?
What might be the relationship between v.17 (“little in your own eyes”) and v. 24 (“I feared the people”)?
How do these themes work out in my life?
What is the significance of the prophet and king permanently separating?
Reflect on Samuel and God’s response to Saul (v. 35). Yet, Saul has his own story. What warning does this have for me? | {"pred_label": "__label__cc", "pred_label_prob": 0.6667287945747375, "wiki_prob": 0.33327120542526245, "source": "cc/2023-06/en_middle_0048.json.gz/line1426847"} |

MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS (MS4)
The 1972 Clean Water Act, enacted by congress, established a policy to protect and improve the waters of the United States. In 1987, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to require implantation of a program to address storm water discharges. Rules were promulgated by EPA to establish a phased approach to implementation of the program which went into effect in 1992. Phase II required NYDES permits for a number of categories of stormwater discharges including industrial activities, construction related disturbances greater than 5 acres, and larger and medium size municipal separate storm sewers (MS4) operators.
The authority to administer the Clean Water Act and the storm water regulations can be delegated to an individual state, as is the case in New York. In New York administration of the program is the responsibility of the Department of Conservation. The NYSDEC has determined that the East of Hudson Croton watershed reservoir, (which includes 40% of the Town of Pawling) should be considered an additionally designated area and subject to the phase II requirements.
An MS4 is defined as a conveyance or system of conveyance owned by a State, City, Town, Village, or other public entity that discharges to the waters of the United States and its designed or used to collect or convey stormwater. A MS4 is not a combined sewer, and is also not part of a publicly owned treatment works (i.e. sewage treatment plant).
There are two ways in which a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System can be designated as a regulated Small MS4.
· The municipality is part of or drains directly to, an urbanized area of population 50,000 to 100,000.
· The municipality separate storm sewer system drains to a water body that is designated as impaired on the New York State 303(d) list, or is in the watershed of a body of water for which a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for pollutants loading has been developed. These are referred to as additionally designated MS4s.
In Dutchess County, the following municipalities are additionally designated MS4s, due to their presence in New York City’s East of Hudson Croton watershed, for which a TMDL has developed:
· Town of Pawling
· Village of Pawling
· Town of Beekman
· Town of East Fishkill
Communities in New York State that are regulated under Phase II Stormwater SPDES Permit GP-0-08-02 for small MS4s are required to have in place a program for pollution prevention. As required by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in March 2003 the Town submitted an application to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC General Permit for MS4 operators. By submitting an application (termed as a NOI) the Town is agreeing to develop, implement and enforce a Stormwater Management Plan to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. In addition, where storm water discharges are to a receiving waterbody for which a total maximum daily load has been developed for any particular pollutant, such as the East of Hudson, Croton Watershed.
The Town of Pawling must address six minimum measures that are required in their storm water program:
Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts: An MS4 must conduct an ongoing public education and outreach program designed to describe the impacts of storm water discharges on water bodies, and how the pollutants found in the storm water can be reduced.
Public Involvement/Participation: An MS4 must, design and conduct a public involvement program. In addition, the MS4 must conduct a public hearing on the annual report that is submitted to the NYS DEC. And finally, the MS4 must identify a local point of contact for public concerns regarding storm water management and compliance with the permit.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: An MS4 must develop, implement and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the storm sewer system. An illicit discharge is any discharge to a storm sewer system, such as a catch basin, drainage culverts or grass swale, which is not composed entirely of storm water and which is a significant contributor of pollutants.
Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control: An MS4 must implement and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff from construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to 20,000 square feet of land area.
Post-Construction Storm Water Management: An MS4 must develop and implement a program that includes a combination of structural and/or non-structural management practices appropriate for the community that will reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable In addition, the MS4 must adopt a Town ordinance to address post-construction runoff from new development and re-development projects to the extent allowable under State or local law.
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping For Municipal Operations: An MS4 must develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that is designed to reduce and prevent the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable from municipal activities, including but not limited to park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, storm water system maintenance, roadway and right-of-way maintenance, marine operations, and hydrologic habitat modification.
An awareness of the location and degree of threat to various water courses in a community is of value to the entire community, wildlife, flora and fauna. We begin with providing clean water to ourselves. | {"pred_label": "__label__cc", "pred_label_prob": 0.6369821429252625, "wiki_prob": 0.36301785707473755, "source": "cc/2022-05/en_head_0011.json.gz/line1574428"} |

Clouds increase overnight ahead of the winter storm. Could see some initial light snow very early Tuesday morning across the Southern Tier.
Snow will spread across Upstate New York from southwest to northeast throughout Tuesday morning with bands of heavy snow in the early afternoon. Snowfall rates could be between 1 to 2 inches per hour.
Roads will be snow covered, making it a slow go on area roadways. Visibility could also be reduced with blowing snow under windy conditions. Snow is most persistent across the North Country, as there won’t be a changeover to sleet/freezing rain until the evening. Central New York and the Southern Tier see the changeover mid/late afternoon.
Adding ice on top of snow will increase slick conditions and make snow heavy to shovel. Tuesday evening, many areas see a change to rain with temperatures warming up.
Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, rain changes back to snow.
The storm comes to an end early Wednesday morning, but behind it, lake enhanced snow showers develop. Thursday, many areas see dry but cloudy conditions. The workweek ends with another wintry-mixed event on Friday as temperatures climb through the 30s. The weekend is mainly dry, with colder air arriving for the beginning of next week. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T06:57:27Z', 'url': 'https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/weather/2019/02/11/weather-forecast', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
The one thing that most would be home buyers do understand is that the real estate markets and climates fluctuate and can do so rather often. And while they may have the upper hand sometimes if a market is slow, when it heats up and things begin to favor sellers, they do have to change their ‘tactics’ in order to get what they want. Here are five all too common mistakes many buyers make — mistakes that you can learn to avoid — when shopping in a seller’s market.
Your best money offer that is. Bargain shopping, for many of us, is almost in our DNA and so, for some, is bargaining on price. And their are sometimes some very legitimate reasons for making an initial offer that is less than the asking price. Foe example, if the comps have been run and the home is overpriced for the area, or if there is plenty of similar housing stock available.
In a seller’s market however it’s a dangerous game. The vast majority of home sellers do as much homework on pricing and market conditions as buyers do, so they know what their home is worth and what’s out there in terms of competition. If they are selling in a ‘hot’ market then in reality a low ball offer may not be one they even consider for more than a few minutes before passing.
No, a home should never be an impulse buy. On the other hand though dragging your feet in a seller’s market is far from a good idea. You see while you are still deliberating and calling your Realtor to arrange a third walk through because you are still wavering a little the chances are good that a more decisive buyer will come into the picture and you’ll lose your shot at the home altogether.
Your Credit’s Good, His is Bad: Can You Get a Mortgage Anyway?
Getting yourself pre-qualified for a mortgage is a sensible move in general, but in an active real estate market it is a must. Maybe you are 99% sure that you’ll get the financing you want when you find the right place so you plan to only mortgage shop once you do. However, if you make an offer most sellers want to close the deal ASAP, and if you still have to get financing in place they may very well opt for a different offer from someone who does, sometimes even if it’s a little bit lower.
Have you ever shopped on an auction site – eBay springs immediately to mind of course – and found yourself overbidding on an item in the heat of those last few minutes, just because your adrenaline is pumping and you really want the item? I know I have. Bidding wars happen in real estate too, especially in a market that is currently favoring sellers.
While it’s not an ideal situation by any means, in a hot market you may have to fight for the home you want. But you have to go into the fight with a clear line drawn in the sand as to when you will have to admit defeat.
Determine, rationally and reasonably, what you REALLY can afford to pay and then do not go over that, however much it will hurt to walk away and begin your search again. Getting your dream home is great, but losing it because you got in over your head is not, so common sense has to prevail.
In a seller’s market it’s not unusual for a buyer’s offer to be turned down and there’s no shame in it either. You just pick yourself up and regroup. But what is several offers have been turned down? Then something is likely wrong. In this case huddle with your Realtor to determine what this might be. Maybe you are just shopping a little out of your real price range. Maybe the area you’ve been bidding in is just TOO hot right now. Figure out how to craft a better offer and the next time the chances of it being accepted will be so much higher! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T16:30:16Z', 'url': 'https://teampinto.com/2019/02/mistakes-made-in-a-sellers-market/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
New Girl Review: “Fired Up”
(Episode 3.19)
By Ross Bonaime | March 12, 2014 | 10:27am
New Girl has given us Nick and Jess as roommates, Nick and Jess in a relationship and with “Fired Up,” we are getting the next evolution of Nick and Jess: Power Couple. Even when they spend hardly any screen time together—as is the case here—there’s still this feeling that even though there isn’t direct help from the other, these two couldn’t be where they are in their lives without each other. “Fired Up” works as a great example of what this show has always been about: growing up, even when you feel lost and uncertain, with the help of your friends.
Whenever we’ve seen Jess at school prior to “Fired Up,” she’s always been out of her element, almost like she could be overpowered by her kids at any moment. But this time around, Jess has gotten Coach hired as a new gym teacher and volleyball coach. Thanks to his his motivation, she decides to try for what she wants rather than waiting for it, fighting for the position of school vice president. Of course, she easily receives the unwanted position, but still, had she not given it a shot, she wouldn’t have reached her newfound position of power. However, with this great power comes the unfortunate great new responsibility to fire your recently hired friend when budgets don’t come in as planned.
Coach’s new position as coach to some no-talent idiot babies might have started as just a paycheck, but quickly he learns to care for those little idiots. For the first time since returning, Coach has a passion for something, which he would have never received without the help of Jess. She eventually stands up to the principal, stating that Coach can in fact stay and that they’ll find a budget solution elsewhere. Her stance unites the teachers to find answers to the problem, and we see that power looks pretty good on Jessica Day.
Meanwhile, the other half of the power couple is finally putting his passing of the bar to good use. Well, at least, use. Schmidt is being sued after a person trips in the makeshift store Schmidt has made in the storefront he bought for Abby last episode. With little money to pay for legal council, Nick decides to use his degree to help his friend and to prove to those preppy dicks he went to law school that he can be an effective lawyer.
Nick’s lawyer skills are about as rusty as you could imagine and even Winston pretending to be a lawyer—or should I call him Courtroom Brown—does a better job as a fake lawyer than Nick. When Nick proves to be mostly a disaster, he falls back on the weird Nick Miller instincts, pulls an incident of his own and states his plans to countersue, making Nick’s lawyer career undefeated.
Nick’s victory is less about him eventually moving into a full-time law career, but more about the confidence he gets from genuinely trying something and succeeding. Before Jess, Nick would have never made such an attempt, and even while it was shaky, his abilities made Nick a winner for once.
“Fired Up” doesn’t give substantial stories to Winston and Cece, yet still they both do great jobs with what they’re given. Winston has become a master as scene stealing, as he does in every one of his scenes here. Cece’s job as a bartender allows her to meet an Australian twenty-year-old named Buster who she agrees to go out with. Buster and Cece are fun to watch together, and at least it brings the return of Mike, but I can’t imagine this relationship will last long, if it even goes beyond this episode. I’d still be surprised if Schmidt and Cece don’t at least share their feelings with each other before the rapidly approaching end of this season.
New Girl is all about these friends finding adulthood together, rather than struggling through it alone, and “Fired Up” is one of the finest example of this. These friendships and relationships are making them better, stronger, more confident people who might not have been able to tackle the world solo, but together, they push themselves further than they even thought possible.

Q: Finding end-date of last sickness incident in R I have a file which records when someone was sick, and when they recovered. Some records have several incidents of sickness, and I am trying to add a new column to each row which is "date last sickness ended" (or "date record began" if NA). There are 10,000s of records, and there can be 10+ incidents of sickness. But in the simplest example, I am trying to go from this:
| ID | RecordBegins | SickStartDate | SickEndDate |
| person1 | 1990-01-01 | 2017-03-04 | 2017-07-01 |
| person1 | 1990-01-01 | 2018-11-01 | 2019-02-04 |
to this:
| ID | RecordBegins | SickStartDate | SickEndDate | EndLastSick
| person1 | 1990-01-01 | 2017-03-04 | 2017-07-01 | 1990-01-01
| person1 | 1990-01-01 | 2018-11-01 | 2019-02-04 | 2017-07-01
I'm new to R, and self-taught. I've been trying to stay in the tidyverse world, but am open to other approaches.
I can code for what I want when there's only one unique person in the dataset using the code below. I've tried extending it using group_by() when I expand the dataset to more than one person, but I can't think of a way to make it work.
sick <-tribble(
~ID, ~RecordBegins, ~SickStartDate, ~SickEndDate,
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2017-03-04"), as.Date("2017-07-01"),
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2018-11-01"), as.Date("2019-02-04"),
)
var1 <- sick$SickEndDate %>% sort(decreasing = TRUE) # place date of last sick at position [1]
var1[1] = sick$`RecordBegins`[1] # replace date of last sick with record start date
var1 <- sort(var1) # re-sort so in date order
sick <- mutate(sick, startExposure = var1)
However that feels pretty clunky, and I can't think of a way to get it to work for when scaling up to more than one person, for example:
sick <-tribble(
~ID, ~RecordBegins, ~SickStartDate, ~SickEndDate,
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2017-03-04"), as.Date("2017-07-01"),
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2018-11-01"), as.Date("2019-02-04"),
"person2", as.Date("1995-01-01"), as.Date("2014-10-07"), as.Date("2017-01-04"),
"person2", as.Date("1995-01-01"), as.Date("2017-11-01"), as.Date("2017-11-23"),
)
A: You can group by ID, and make use of lag, if I'm interpreting your question correctly!
library(dplyr)
sick %>%
arrange(ID, SickStartDate) %>%
group_by(ID) %>%
mutate(EndLastSick = case_when(
# if this is the first record for this person, use RecordBegins
is.na(lag(SickEndDate)) ~ RecordBegins,
# otherwise, get the most recent SicKEndDate
TRUE ~ lag(SickEndDate)
))
## A tibble: 4 x 5
## Groups: ID [2]
# ID RecordBegins SickStartDate SickEndDate EndLastSick
# <chr> <date> <date> <date> <date>
#1 person1 1990-01-01 2017-03-04 2017-07-01 1990-01-01
#2 person1 1990-01-01 2018-11-01 2019-02-04 2017-07-01
#3 person2 1995-01-01 2014-10-07 2017-01-04 1995-01-01
#4 person2 1995-01-01 2017-11-01 2017-11-23 2017-01-04
Data:
sick <-tribble(
~ID, ~RecordBegins, ~SickStartDate, ~SickEndDate,
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2017-03-04"), as.Date("2017-07-01"),
"person1", as.Date("1990-01-01"), as.Date("2018-11-01"), as.Date("2019-02-04"),
"person2", as.Date("1995-01-01"), as.Date("2014-10-07"), as.Date("2017-01-04"),
"person2", as.Date("1995-01-01"), as.Date("2017-11-01"), as.Date("2017-11-23"),
)
A: This is similar to @heds1's answer but using only lag function.
library(dplyr)
sick %>%
arrange(ID, SickStartDate, SickEndDate) %>%
group_by(ID) %>%
mutate(EndLastSick = lag(SickEndDate, default = first(RecordBegins))) %>%
ungroup
# ID RecordBegins SickStartDate SickEndDate EndLastSick
# <chr> <date> <date> <date> <date>
#1 person1 1990-01-01 2017-03-04 2017-07-01 1990-01-01
#2 person1 1990-01-01 2018-11-01 2019-02-04 2017-07-01
#3 person2 1995-01-01 2014-10-07 2017-01-04 1995-01-01
#4 person2 1995-01-01 2017-11-01 2017-11-23 2017-01-04

A business street in small-town India
In Silicon Valley, Pay Pal was the defining company that spun off a wave of innovation. The early group went on to create a host of companies – Tesla Motors, LinkedIn, Palantir Technologies, SpaceX, YouTube, Yelp, and Yammer. In India, its early days but the sale of Flipkart created another set of billionaires eager to redefine the technology landscape in India. They are still young – under 40 and they have been on a roller coaster for years without being able to get off. When they finally did, they were billionaires, so it seems crazy that they’re going back for more. It can’t be the money because they already have more than they could spend in several lifetimes.
Flipkart built the B2C (Business 2Consumer) model and got an insane valuation but there was another market waiting for an intervention – B2B (Business 2 Business). India’s fragmented and unorganised trade sector has over 10 million small shops and businesses struggling to survive. They do not have fancy tech, or even the budget to afford it. Their response to the technology onslaught has been mainly to protest against policy and try to delay the inevitable transition.
Udaan – Seeing the opportunity in a problem
How do you organise B2B in this environment?

After scaling Flipkart, Udaan’s founders realised that B2B could be the next big thing. They already had the experience of executing at scale. What they needed was a market opportunity – and it was right at their doorstep. Converting the millions of small traders and manufacturers into customers could become even bigger than Flipkart. The figures speak for themselves – 90% of business in India is unorganised and providing them with the means to transact through smartphones would make believers out of naysayers.
What also helped was the small town India background of the founders. From Next Big What: Amod Malviya grew up in Shaktinagar, a small town in Uttar Pradesh now known as the power capital of India. His father Vijai Kumar Malviya, an official at the National Thermal Power Corporation, sent him to a nearby school and hoped that he would make a career bureaucrat someday.
Sujeet Kumar comes from Kinor in Bihar.“When I was in Flipkart, I took delivery to 500 cities; and my city was not one of those,”
Vaibhav Gupta was the only one with a degree from the US. They had all worked together at Flipkart and the experience helped the team mesh together and play complementary roles in Udaan. They even settled on a structure without a CEO – unheard of for a company looking to scale growth. But as a team, they knew they were much stronger. And they understood what needed to be done.
Vaibhav Gupta, speaking on The Next Billion podcast, said: India is actually inherently very different than China and U.S. Although the digitization is going very, very fast but the purchasing power of the consumers in the country is still actually very, very low. Country is heavily unbranded. A lot of old ways of trade and buying and selling still persist in the country. We considered one of the big learnings we have had from Flipkart is that India has power, has an opportunity to build largescale platforms but they have to be thought natively.
Chase the problem, not the solution

Vaibhav Gupta’s interview with Lightspeed partners: It was very compelling to hear how product discovery for Udaan happened entirely on ground. Even when the company was at a 300–400 buyer scale, VG would find a way to meet 30–40 of them in any given week. And it wasn’t just the founders. Even engineers spent time in the field (credit to Amod)! When you talk to customers and “feel the engagement”, you just know what to build.
Going down this path requires almost a complete shift in mindset. “All of us are very used to thinking and executing. Flip it. Execute, and then think.”, said VG. This reversal in perspective manifested in how Udaan has consciously and beautifully built the ability to conduct parallel experimentation. Even today, when the company launches new categories — a team goes out and starts working on it on the ground. They get orders, anywhere (on WhatsApp even). The product never gets built before the orders start flowing. When you find things that are working, scale them. Double it, triple it. If it’s not doubling, why not? Go back and fix it. There’s almost paranoia about understanding what is going on in the buyer’s head. No matter the means (visits, surveys etc.), do everything you can to collect even more information than you need. Someone’s meeting a customer? Just dump the notes on WhatsApp right after! The approach lets you get out of your head, and gives a lot of depth to your thinking. It enables you to chase the problem, not the solution.
Virtual Vs Physical infrastructure
The Udaan co-founders at a YourStory Interview
The running joke about India is how everyone has got phones in the country but roads and toilets are still being built. Physical infrastructure is hard to build. It involves money, policy approvals, land acquisitions, political will and plans for execution moving in lockstep. One of India’s biggest road projects was the Golden Quadrilateral – here’s the Wikipedia entry – At 5,846 kilometres (3,633 mi), it is the largest highway project in India and the fifth longest in the world.[1] It is the first phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), and consists of four- and six-lane express highways, built at a cost of ₹600 billion (US$8.7 billion).The project was planned by 1999, launched in 2001, and was completed in 2012.
But virtual infrastructure is different. It does not have to follow the same rules. With smartphones and data providing access at some of the lowest costs in the world, technology becomes the bridge that facilitates growth and changes business models for some of the smallest players in the country. In that context, Udaan raising $870 million seems small in comparison to solve a virtual infrastructure problem.
The Your Story interview
Vaibav Gupta elaborates on the steps involved in building the B2B platform: I think one of the big things for India, as you can imagine with the fragmented channel and unorganized channel, payment reliability, like on-time in-full payments to the seller is one of the biggest problems in the country. Despite people having distributors and wholesalers, they don’t know when they will get their payments. And typically they will have to keep working with their channel, keep collecting in small amounts over a period of time, which is generally a norm in the country now. And it’s not like defaults happen in trade. Default does not happen in the trade in India. It is mostly delayed payments and uncertain timings of the payment. And that’s what Udaan did for them. Udaan created a very, very reliable on-time every single time payment system for them. And our sellers loved us for that. I remember one of our sellers telling us a story that every morning I go to the temple at 8:30 and at 9:00 I get payment from Udaan and I know my day has started well. This keeps happening every day, so I know that in the morning I get payment. Everything is fine. And that’s a habit now he has built-in. Like every morning he’ll get that payment at 9:00 and he knows that everything is well. Like he’s now wired like that and I think that’s the implicit trust on Udaan

AR-15s. All totally legal in the U.S. The bottom one only is illegal is California.
A man who was driving the wrong way on Seventh Avenue early Wednesday was caught with assault rifles, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and several knives— and police found a note in his car saying he wanted to die in combat, police said.
In the note found in the console of the car, Victor Greer, 46, of Reading, Pennsylvania, wrote: "I want to die in combat and want to go to heaven and meet god," sources said. The note also mentioned his cats, his parents and his favorite movies, police said.
Police spotted Greer's white 2014 Chevrolet Cruze driving north on Seventh Avenue, against traffic, about 1:10 a.m., police said. They stopped Greer at Grove Street, and when he was unable to produce any paperwork, they asked him to step out of the car.
Officers then saw two knives on the floor by the driver's seat and found a third on Greer. A search of the car yielded a partially loaded 25-round capacity .22 caliber magazine, as well as several more rounds of .22 caliber ammunition, including a full box of 50 rounds.
New York State gun laws prohibit any magazine carrying more than seven rounds of ammunition.
The officers arrested Greer and brought him and the car to the 6th Precinct, where the NYPD's Bomb Squad searched the trunk and found two unloaded assault rifles, an AR-15 Colt M4 and a .45 caliber Hi Point Model 4595. They also discovered a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, an unloaded black 9-millimeter semi-automatic handgun, a bottle rocket, boxes with more than 400 rounds of ammunition, and drug paraphernalia.
A background check revealed Greer has four prior arrests, including three in Pennsylvania and one in Florida, police said. It was unclear what the arrests were for.
Police said he rented the car in New York City on June 28.
Greer was charged with four counts of criminal possession of a weapon, two counts of criminal possession of assault rifles, four counts of criminal possession of ammunition clips, four counts of criminal possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Greer is a civil engineer who has been out of work for a few years, sources said. Greer's parents told police their son is reclusive and sometimes behaves strangely, spending most of his time in his bedroom, according to sources.
Greer had not been arraigned by Thursday morning, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T10:18:43Z', 'url': 'https://www.businessinsider.com/man-assault-rifles-wanted-die-combat-2014-7', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Dirk Dries David Damiaan, Viscount Frimout (born 21 March 1941 in Poperinge, Belgium) is an astrophysicist for the European Space Agency. He flew aboard NASA Space Shuttle mission STS-45 as a payload specialist, making him the first Belgian in space.
Education
Elementary School at Poperinge. Secondary School at Koninklijk Technisch Atheneum (K.T.A) at Ghent, Belgium. Received an Engineer's degree in electrical engineering at University of Ghent in 1963; a PhD in applied physics from University of Ghent in 1970; post-doctorate at University of Colorado Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics(ESRO fellow) in 1971–1972.
Career
1965-1978 Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy. As Head of Section Instrumentation, performed experiments with stratospheric balloons and sounding rockets.
1978-1984 European Space Agency (ESA) as Crew Activities Coordinator and Experiment Coordinator for Spacelab-1.
1984-1989 Microgravity Division of ESTEC, responsible for sounding rocket program, parabolic flights, experiments on EURECA, reflight of Spacelab-1 experiments.
Frimout flew as a payload specialist on STS-45 Atlantis (24 March to 2 April 1992). STS-45 was launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It was the first Spacelab mission dedicated to NASA's Mission to Planet Earth. During the nine-day flight, the crew aboard Atlantis operated the twelve experiments that constituted the ATLAS-1 (Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science) cargo. ATLAS-1 obtained a vast array of detailed measurements of atmospheric chemical and physical properties, which contributed significantly to improving our understanding of our climate and atmosphere. In addition, this was the first time an artificial beam of electrons was used to stimulate a man-made auroral discharge. At mission conclusion, Frimout had traveled 3.2 million miles in 143 Earth orbits and logged over 214 hours in space.
His flight made him instantaneously very famous in Belgium and triggered what was called Frimout-mania. Prince Philippe of Belgium talked with him when he was in space and a ticker tape parade was organized when he came back to Belgium.
Currently, Frimout is an ESA staff member. He is a senior engineer in the Payload Utilization Department of the Columbus Directorate, responsible for the ESA support to the European experiments on ATLAS-1, and the Microgravity Measurement Assembly to be flown on D2.
He has authored more than 30 publications relating to Atmospheric Physics Experiments, Crew Training for Spacelab, and Microgravity Experiments.
Personal
He is married and has two children. Hobbies include running, cycling, walking, traveling, and chess.
Awards and honors
1971-72 Postdoctoral Research Fellow from ESRO (European Space Research Organization).
After his spaceflight, Frimout was ennobled and given the title of viscount in the Belgian nobility.

The Stafford by-election swing of over 18% against the LNP conveyed a dramatic message. The public has had enough of the extreme decisions of the Newman government. This brings sharper focus to Campbell Newman’s “cash for legislation” deal with North Stradbroke sand miner Sibelco.
Following the deal, the Newman government spread misinformation to the media over its November 2013 amendments to North Stradbroke Island sand mining legislation.
An absence of fact checking by the media led to false reports that sand mining had already been extended to 2035. In the public interest, these require correction. Some media outlets have begun to make corrections.
If the Newman amendments are not repealed, the financial benefit to Sibelco,the privately owned Belgian mining company, could be $1.5 Billionby its own reckoning – see Jackie Trad.com.au – stop sandmining Straddie. But contrary to media reporting, an extension of mining at the Enterprise sand mine to 2035 (or 2027, as Sibelco previously sought) is not scheduled to occur until 2019. This is because relevant mining leases do not expire until 31 December, 2019.
In a revised article titled “Clive Palmer, Jeff Seeney and Campbell Newman’s Straddie donation”, published by the online newspaper Independent Australia.net, highly respected barrister Stephen Keim SC recently agreed that Sibelco cannot apply to extend the time frame for sand mining until 2019.
Parliament can repeal the Newman amendments at any time before 2019. That is likely to occur without a change of government, if the native title owners win their High Court action for a declaration that he Newman amendments are invalid under the Australian constitution.
The Newman government has misled the media and the public into believing that sand mining has already been extended to 2035 to quell dissent from the many who want to see the Queensland icon protected. If people think the extension has already occurred, maybe they will think it’s a waste of time talking about repealing the Newman amendments?
The reality is that even if the native title challenge to the validity of the amendments fails, if the LNP is voted out before 2019, the Newman amendments can be repealed by a future parliament. No compensation would be payable to Sibelco. Section 6 of the North Stradbroke Island Protection and Sustainability Act specifically rules out compensation.
This would not be an unjust result. Sibelco purchased the mine in 2009 knowing that a key mining lease had expired in 2007 and had not been renewed. It was also aware that under the State’s expired lease laws there were legal obstacles to renewal of expired North Stradbroke mining leases. It also knew that there was significant opposition from indigenous owners, environment groups and others.
The Fraser Island Inquiry in 1976 concluded that sand mining causes “major, permanent and irreversible environmental harm.” The Federal government accepted the findings and ended sand mining on Fraser almost immediately. The Bjelkie-Petersen government’s request for a two year transition was rejected.
Stradbroke’s future clearly depends upon its natural environment being protected. It is remarkable that Campbell Newman, with a straight face, can talk about a so called ‘transition’ away from mining of 22 years when 40 years ago Joh Bjelkie Petersen would have settled for 2 years for Fraser Island ! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T10:46:57Z', 'url': 'http://westender.com.au/staffie-save-straddie/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

With all this death and talk of death, the world is in need of some LIFE! Easter is when we celebrate life out of death. Every year, during winter, things look very dead. But the season comes when, so long as the branches are connected to the roots, new life springs forth from what looked on the outside like death. This miracle that God programmed into nature, we call "springtime."
Some things have to die in order for there to be new life, like leaves. At one time, the leaf collected life-giving nutrients from the sun, enabling the tree or vine to flourish and stay united with the root. Together, the leaf and the root nourished the branch which resulted in lush fruit. But the time came when the leaf had fulfilled its purpose and had to die. It then had to let go of the branch. Had the leaf stubbornly remained attached to the branch, it would have hindered new growth in the spring. But because the leaf has fallen to the ground in death, even in death it nourishes the tree as fertilizer. "Unless a seed falls into ground and dies remains alone but if it dies brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24)
In human life, sometimes there's things in our lives that have to die in order to nourish and allow new life. Is there something in your life that has hindered you from other things you knew you should get done? Are there dead leaves hanging on your branches that, if they were to drop off, would become fertilizer for the good things that want to blossom in your life? Maybe those things at one time were good. Maybe they at one time served a very important purpose. But that season is past. Now they have become burdensome, or there are too many of them creating a dead weight upon your branches?
Sometimes when we feel most dead and hopeless of any new life coming forth, that is when an even more traumatic thing happens; we get pruned! Many of us feel very pruned right now. We say, "I was already struggling, I was already trying to pay the bills and now I've lost my job also. Or "I was just getting my health back and now I have to stay in the house all day with no exercise." Some of you are ill, or high risk from Covid. But the branch must trust the pruning. Guess what, branches that don't bear fruit don't get pruned! The Word of God tells us, "every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit." (John 15:2) So if you're being pruned, take courage because you are very precious to God. He loves you and is preparing for bigger and better things!
The great news is, spring is here! The buds are bursting forth! A grapevine buds later than some fruit trees. Because of Covid, this is a late-blooming spring but new life is coming! I believe a cure and vaccines are coming. And that God is using this season of pruning, this RESET button on planet earth, for good. So even though things may look very dreary right now - like the grape vine that still hasn't budded, Resurrection life is on the way!
Easter is about new life. Like the leaf that died in order to give life, Jesus died to give us forgiveness and eternal life. As the tree that once looked dead is blooming, every person is ordained to enjoy this new and abundant life given to us through faith in Christ. This Easter - this Resurrection season - lets rejoice in God's reset button. The Covid situation bombards us every day with a new death toll. But amidst all that, God is up to something good. Out of tragedy, out of pruning, and out of this season of "stay at home" He is bringing forth new life. He is calling our nations to think about what needs to be pruned. He is calling us to prepare for abundance of fruit! For no matter how much we are pruned, the One who holds the pruning shears loves us. He is allowing it for our good (Rom. 8:28). So long as we remain vitally united to Him, the Root, new life will spring forth in its season.

Want To Bond With Your Kid? Kick Off A Family Fantasy Football Tradition
By Deanne Haines
Ready… set… hike!
These three words launch my family into an exciting fantasy football competition each fall. This year, the National Football League kicks off its 100th season of action-packed play, while my family begins our seventh season of football fun.
We thought you'd also like:
High School Football Brings Us Together: My Son Plays Football
As a young girl, I loved watching football and faithfully followed my favorite NFL team. Now, with two teenage sons and a 10 year-old daughter of my own, our shared passion for the game—mixed with a little friendly competition—strengthens family ties while instilling important character traits.
Fantasy football becomes a fun family affair with just a few tweaks. Follow these six points to start a football tradition that bonds your family and scores extra points for teaching responsibility, respect and teamwork.
Turn Football into a Fun Family Affair
1. Recruit family and friends.
You can start a league with as few as four people, but in order to have competitive match-ups each week, fantasy football works best with eight or more participants. Invite neighbors, friends, and even far-away family to join in the fun. In our league we play with cousins, aunts, and uncles on both sides of our family. It’s a great way to keep in touch and make lasting memories.
Fantasy football isn’t just for diehard fans, either. Someone who is just starting to take an interest in the pigskin pastime will learn more about football and quickly develop an appreciation for the game.
2. Kick off the fun on draft day.
Drafting teams can be done over the phone, online, or in person. Since choosing players can sometimes take a couple of hours, depending on how many people you have in your league, throwing a draft day party makes for a memorable kick-off to the season.
You’ll take turns choosing running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, and a team’s defense. Each person’s roster can be entered into a free fantasy football website, such as Yahoo! Sports or CBS Sports.
Don’t worry if you’re a fantasy football rookie; these websites do most of the work for you. They automatically churn out the match-ups each week, keep score, and rank the teams. They even keep records of the standings from year to year.
In my family, drafting our teams has become a Labor Day tradition. We enjoy snacks and drinks gathered around the computer while our out-of-state relatives join us online and over the phone to complete our rosters. Some of us pick the highest-ranked NFL players, while others choose hometown favorites. Either way, excitement runs high as teams such as the Flame Throwers, Blazin’ Bears, and Purple Reign are formed.
3. Bond over game stats and bye weeks.
In fantasy football, everyone acts as general manager of his or her own team and decides which players to start or bench each week. Fantasy football teams rack up points based on the actual performance of the NFL players on game day.
Kids learn how to be responsible managers by quickly realizing they need to pay attention to their starting lineup. Accidentally starting a player who is injured or on a bye week (a week when their team isn’t playing) could mean the difference between winning and losing that week’s matchup.
My husband and sons intently study game stats, injury reports, and bye week schedules together. Watching my husband share this bond with our teens is a touchdown in itself.
4. Model fun, friendly trash talk.
Beyond bonding, tweens and teens learn how to respectfully talk smack on our league’s message board—a fun element of the league and a unique way of keeping in touch with relatives.
Kids enjoy leaving funny messages for their weekly opponents, while I like the teaching opportunity it presents. Helping children decipher what’s acceptable to post, and how to appropriately respond to messages, is important for kids growing up in a digital world.
5. Score a touchdown with teamwork.
Watching points add up for defensive plays such as interceptions, sacks, and turnovers emphasizes the importance of every football player on the team, not just the ones who score touchdowns. Many kids are surprised to learn the players who have scored the most points in NFL history aren’t the highly famed quarterbacks or running backs, but actually kickers.
Teamwork is important in many areas of life. Seeing it unfold on the football field drives that message home each week.
6. Celebrate with a season-ending prize.
Many grown-up fantasy football leagues incorporate gambling, but in our family-friendly approach, we eliminate wagering and instead play for fun and a coveted season-ending trophy. A trophy, and subsequent bragging rights, goes a long way in a lively family rivalry.

Our fantasy football tradition gives my family something to look forward to each week as we bond over spirals, sacks, tackles, and touchdowns, but it’s the lasting memories we’re making that score the most points in my book.

U.S. leaves injured Iraqis untreated
Posted by Sadie from ? (160.129.27.22) on Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at 10:13AM :
Cruel and illegal: U.S. leaves injured Iraqis untreated
Ali Abunimah, Electronic Iraq
United States occupation forces in Iraq are refusing to treat wounded and sick Iraqis if their injuries are not directly caused by the United States. This shocking behavior is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
On June 30, dozens of Iraqis were killed and scores injured in an explosion at an abandoned ammunition dump at Haditha, 260 kilometers northeast of Baghdad. The victims had apparently been searching for shell casings to sell as scrap.
According to the BBC, a spokesman for US Central Command in Baghdad said that, because the dump was Iraqi, not American, US forces in the area were not taking responsibility for caring for the wounded.
But the United States is responsible at every level. First and foremost, as the occupying power, the US is supposed to provide security for Iraq's people. The fact that Iraqi civilians can walk into abandoned Iraqi Army stores shows that the US is dismally failing to do that. A few weeks ago, Iraqi villagers became ill after taking radioactive canisters from a known Iraqi nuclear site that US forces had failed to secure.
Second, the US is legally and morally obliged to render assistance to the injured. Article 16 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: "The wounded and sick, as well as the infirm, and expectant mothers, shall be the object of particular protection and respect." Article 55 states: "To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the occupying power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate."
Almost three months into the occupation, the US has done little to meet its legal obligation to restore Iraq's collapsed medical system. Richard Alderslade, a spokesman on health policy for the World Health Organization, told Reuters on June 26 that Iraq's health system was "extremely fragile," and running at no more than 30-50 percent capacity at a time when the public health situation is deteriorating, with an increase in child sickness, communicable diseases, and threats from unexploded munitions.
Third, the fact that Iraqis are reduced to searching for scrap ammunition in such a dangerous place to sell for subsistence is a testament not only to the devastation of decades of sanctions and war, but of the utter failure of the occupiers to provide the Iraqi people with the food and work they need.
Horrifying though it is, the apparent US refusal to assist the injured at Haditha is no isolated incident. It appears to be policy. On June 23, the Associated Press reported that, "while on duty at an army air field, Sergeant David J. Borell was approached by an Iraqi who pleaded for help for his three children, burned when they set fire to a bag containing explosive powder left over from war in Iraq. Borell immediately called for assistance. But the two army doctors who arrived about an hour later refused to help the children because their injuries were not life-threatening and had not been inflicted by US troops."
Borell, of Toledo, Ohio, said of the June 13 incident: "I have never seen in almost 14 years of army experience anything that callous," and asked: "What would it have cost us to treat these children? A few dollars perhaps. Some investment of time and resources. I cannot imagine the heartlessness required to look into the eyes of a child in horrid pain and suffering and, with medical resources only a brief trip up the road, ignore their plight as though they are insignificant."
Before the two doctors left, Borell pleaded with one to do something, but "he didn't show any compassion," so the sergeant gave the children's father supplies from his own first aid kit. The next day the father took his extensively burned children, Ahlam, 11, and Budur and Haidar, both 10, to Baghdad to seek treatment.
AP reported that "a US military spokesman said the children's condition did not fall into a category that requires army physicians to treat them - and that there was no inappropriate response on the part of the doctors." This is a fancy way of saying "we just don't care."
In addition to being unbelievably cruel, callous and illegal, this US policy is politically stupid. Having invaded Iraq and overthrown its government in a few weeks, the United States has proven incapable of providing Iraqis with even the degraded level of basic services they received under Saddam Hussein. As unrest and resistance to the occupation grows, the US badly needs to improve its image and relationship with the people it rules. It's hard to see how refusing to treat the war injuries of children and Iraqi civilians can do anything but achieve the exact opposite.

From your transmission to your tailpipe, no matter what type of repair your car requires, you want to be sure you take it to a shop that has earned an esteemed reputation in the community for providing top-quality service at a reasonable rate. Here's a look at six types of repair offered by a trusted mechanic in Green Bay, WI.
While it is possible for the check engine light to come on because of something as trivial as a poorly-fitting gas cap, it's still best in this situation to play it safe and get to the shop for computerized diagnostics.
With transmission issues, it's always best to act quickly so the problem doesn't become wildly expensive to repair. Signs of trouble in this department include suddenly popping out of gear and the leaking of a reddish-colored fluid.
Bumpy driving and uneven tire wear are two signs of a suspension issue.
As you go about your daily driving routine, it's easy to forget just how crucial a role your brakes play in maintaining the safety of your and your family. Common signs of brake trouble include squealing and grinding, as well as veering to one side when you step on the pedal.
Overheating can cause significant engine trouble, making it very important that cooling system problems are taken care of quickly. Two symptoms of trouble are coolant leakage and a high reading on your temp gauge.
From tire rotation to wheel alignment, these kinds of maintenance tasks will help ensure that your driving is safe and smooth.
If you're in need of auto repair, be sure to visit a reputable auto shop. For auto repair in Green Bay West, the experts to contact are at Auto Select at (920) 494-4936.

It is important for the process of spiritual growth that you don’t just pray and study your faith at times when it happens to cross your mind, when it suits you, but that you observe some discipline…. I should say, never begin with thinking alone. For if you try to pull God toward you in the laboratory of rational thought and to attach him to you in what is to some extent a purely theoretical fashion, you find you can’t do it. You always have to combine the questions with action. Pascal once said to an unbelieving friend: Start by doing what believers do, even if it still makes no sense to you… You can never look for faith in isolation; it is only found in an encounter with people who believe, who can understand you, who have perhaps come by way of a similar situation themselves, who can in some way lead you and help you. It is always among us that faith grows. Anyone who wants to go it alone has thus got it wrong from the very start. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T12:53:25Z', 'url': 'https://catholicjules.net/2012/01/29/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

On Thursday, April 4, 2019, the House Public Education Committee met to hear bills on several topics, including home-schooled students’ participation in UIL, student health, protected speech, and the available school fund.
House Bill (HB) 348 (Nevárez, et al., D-Eagle Pass): Would allow school districts to provide increased compensation to a teacher who completes an autism training provided by a regional education service center. This bill was not actually heard by the committee yesterday due to a last-minute change.
HB 1602 (Hernandez, D-Houston): States that a school district may not begin instruction before 8 am and calls for appropriating over $755 million to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the purpose of offsetting the additional transportation costs associated with the bill. Rep. Hernandez said that 34% of Texas schools start in the 7 am hour, and some students wait in the dark for the bus as early as 5:45 am. A student testified for the bill, saying it would help her get more sleep and receive less disciplinary action. ATPE member Yen Rabe also testified in support as one of several witnesses who cited increased safety and student well-being if the school day were to start later.
HB 2738 (Meyer, R-Dallas): Would expand educator misconduct provisions adopted through SB 7 from the 2017 legislative session to also include non-certified employees, such as those who may work in charter schools and Districts of Innovation. The bill would require TEA to create a “do-not-hire” registry of these non-certified persons.
ATPE registered in opposition to HB 1324 by Rep. James Frank (R-Wichita Falls), which would require public schools participating in UIL activities to provide home-schooled students who meet certain eligibility requirements with the opportunity to participate in the activity. Districts would likely incur costs from this mandate, and HB 1324 does not ensure that home-schooled students would be subject to the same requirements and thus on a level playing field with their public school peers. Testimony on this bill was split between those who had concerns about implementation, costs to public schools, and increased government oversight, and those who wanted to be able to participate in UIL activities, especially sports. Read ATPE’s written testimony against the bill here.
HB 873 (Allen, D-Houston): Would require the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee to review students’ behavior intervention plans (BIPs) at least annually for those who have a BIP as part of their individualized education plan (IEP). This bill also requires changes to the student code of conduct, including parent notification about the student’s BIP or if the student needs a BIP when violations of the code occur, and it changes law around the use of restraints and time-outs, requiring detailed notification to parents. Lastly, the bill requires that if a school district takes disciplinary action against a student with disabilities that results in a change in placement, the district must conduct a behavioral assessment and develop or revise the student’s BIP.
HB 1131 (Cole, et al., D-Austin): Would create the “Texas Public Finance Authority” to act as a “paying agent” under current law for the guarantee and payment of bonds. School districts could also borrow money from the new authority.
HB 1906 (Burns, R-Cleburne): Would allow a parent of a student with severe cognitive disabilities to request that the child be exempted from required assessments. The ARD committee would make further determinations on whether the student should be exempted and what the best assessment instrument for the child would be. Special education advocates testified about concerns with making sure someone is still held accountable for growth and progress of these students, and argued that assessments should be fixed rather than removing students from taking assessments altogether.
HB 2097 (Krause, et al., R-Fort Worth): This bill would allow only Arlington ISD to withdraw from TRS-ActiveCare under a pilot project. Representatives of the school district testified that healthcare costs for its employees under TRS are too high, but members of the committee were cautious and indicated there should be more study on statewide impact before allowing one district to have special treatment.
HB 2244 (González, M., D-Clint): Would define what is protected speech and require school districts to adopt a policy establishing rules regarding students’ right to exercise freedom of the press at school. Testimony supporting the bill included remarks from students, teachers, a professor, and a lawyer.
HB 2393 (Burrows, R-Lubbock): Would require the State Board of Education (SBOE) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to develop a hunter education course for students in grades 7-12 that a school district can use as a part of its physical education curriculum. Rep. Burrows stated that there are barriers to children being able to take hunter education and that many violations have been committed by hunters, presumably as a result of lack of education.
HB 2555 (Parker, R-Flower Mound): Would update the guidelines on food allergies and require school boards and governing bodies of charters to update their policies on caring for students with food allergies who are at risk of anaphylaxis.
HB 2689 (Dean, et al., R-Longview): Would require each school superintendent to designate a cybersecurity coordinator to serve as a liaison between the district and TEA. Rep. Dean stated that student data, such as social security numbers, are particularly valuable and in need of protection.
HB 2739 (Meyer, et al., R-Dallas): Would require private school administrators to report misconduct by educators they employ to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) and allow them to obtain information from SBEC any reports the board has about prior misconduct or criminal histories of such individuals.
HB 2740 (Meyer, et al., R-Dallas): Would require the Department of Family and Protective Services to release information regarding child abuse and neglect investigations and allegations to private schools, as it does for public schools.
HB 3683 (Dutton, D-Houston): Would allow the commissioner to authorize a charter or campus program to provide a dropout recovery program for grades 9-12, at which 50% of the enrollment must be students who are age 17 or older. Eligible students would include those who have dropped out or been in a disciplinary alternative education setting, as well as homeless students, working students, asylees and refugees, or at parent request. Charter school advocates testified that the bill would improve student retention and completion.
HB 4205 (Craddick, R-Midland): Would allow repurposed campuses to be operated in partnership with certain nonprofits that have a successful record of operating a campus or charter. Former Speaker Craddick stated that a school slated for closure has only two options (close the campus or appoint a board of managers), and his bill offers a third option by allowing non-profit charters to partner with the school district to reopen the school. TEA General Counsel Von Byer said the campus would still have to be closed and repurposed, and that the repurposed campus would have to serve a majority of new students and offer a distinctly different academic program.
HB 4613 (Shaheen, R-Plano): Would allow parents to request an exemption from state and federal testing requirements for special education students, potentially through a federal waiver. Special education advocates testified with concerns on meeting federal reporting requirements and having accountability for all students, including those with disabilities.
HB 4611 (Huberty, R-Humble) and its related House Joint Resolution (HJR) 151 (Huberty, R-Humble): Would propose a constitutional amendment to allow the General Land Office’s (GLO) School Land Board to transfer up to $600 million to the available school fund. The current allowable contribution is only $300 million. Testimony from both the GLO and from Dr. Keven Ellis of the SBOE was neutral, focused on finding avenues to increase funds to the available school fund.
The following pending bills heard during prior meetings were voted favorably from committee on Thursday: HB 851, HB 1026, HB 1517, HB 1639, HB 1640, HB 1823, HB 2511, HB 2984, HB 3007, HB 3217, HB 3323, HB 3435, HB 3966, HCR 59, HB 843, HB 1160, HB 1276, HB 1632, HB 2030, HB 2184, HB 4310, and HB 2210.
The House Public Education Committee will meet again on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, to hear a variety of bills, mostly pertaining to charter schools.
ATPE Lobbyist Monty Exter testifying before the House Public Education Committee, April 27, 2017.
The House Committee on Public Education worked overnight and into the early hours this Friday morning hearing testimony on bills, including some aimed at funding private school voucher programs. Imminent end-of-session deadlines combined with a lengthy, high-profile floor debate this week on sanctuary cities resulted in late night hearings on many education bills. ATPE Lobbyist Mark Wiggins provided a comprehensive blog update on the Thursday proceedings at which the committee voted on 15 bills previously heard and took testimony on 26 additional bills.
Bills heard by the committee overnight included a version of the “Tim Tebow” bill to allow home-schooled students to participate in UIL activities, plus a pair of bills by Rep. Ron Simmons (R-Carrollton) aimed at using public education dollars to help students qualifying for special education receive private education or therapies. ATPE Lobbyist Monty Exter provided testimony on both bills, suggesting alternative ways to help ensure that students with special needs have access to appropriate services while maintaining accountability and the integrity of the public school system.
ATPE Lobbyist Mark Wiggins testifying before the House Public Education Committee, April 25, 2017.
With end-of-session deadlines looming, the House Public Education Committee packed in hearings of numerous bills this week. ATPE Lobbyist Mark Wiggins reported on the committee’s Tuesday meetings, which included discussions of Districts of Innovation and scheduling the school year, always a controversial subject. The committee also heard HB 1333 by Rep. Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs), aimed partially at reducing standardized testing in Texas. For more on the committee’s conversation about testing, read this piece by The Texas Tribune republished here on our blog, which also refers to testimony given by ATPE Lobbyist Monty Exter. ATPE’s Wiggins also testified in support of funding for high-quality pre-K programs during Tuesday’s hearing.
The House Public Education Committee also met briefly on Monday to take votes on additional bills heard earlier this session. As reported by ATPE’s Mark Wiggins, the committee approved bills to eliminate state tests for writing and social studies, allow children of military families to enroll full-time in the state’s virtual school network, and provide mentoring and professional development for new teachers. In a rare move, committee members also voted against a bill dealing with charter school liability and zoning laws.
The committee will meet again Tuesday, May 2, with another lengthy agenda of bills hoping to survive the May 8 deadline for House committees to favorably report out any House bills that may still be eligible for floor debate.
ATPE Lobbyist Kate Kuhlmann testifying before the Senate Education Committee, April 27, 2017.
Over in the Texas Senate, proposals to change the state’s beleaguered “A through F” accountability system were in the spotlight. As ATPE Lobbyist Kate Kuhlmann reported yesterday on our blog, the Senate Education Committee heard bills this week by Chairman Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) and Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock), both aimed at redesigning the state accountability system to incorporate different indicators and calculations. Testifying on ATPE’s behalf, Kuhlmann urged the committee to consider integrating measures associated with teacher quality into the system but cautioned against the over-reliance on student test score data. Taylor’s SB 2051 and Perry’s SB 1173 were both left pending.
Also testifying before the Senate Education Committee was Commissioner of Education Mike Morath, who used the opportunity to promote the Texas Education Agency’s new Confidential Student Report (CSR). The revamped reporting tool for parents was rolled out by TEA this week. Morath and will soon be linked to a new CSR website with additional resources related to STAAR testing.
Meanwhile, the Texas House is preparing to debate another major bill dealing with A-F on the House floor next week. HB 22 by House Public Education Committee Chairman Dan Huberty (R-Kingwood) was approved by that committee on April 4, and is now scheduled on the House calendar for floor debate on Wednesday, May 3. Stay tuned to Teach the Vote for updates next week.
Yesterday, the Texas House approved a gradual phase-out of the business margins or franchise tax that generates revenue for public education. HB 28 by Rep. Dennis Bonnen (R-Angleton) passed the House on a 96-39 vote mostly along party lines. The bill would target the unpopular business tax for gradual elimination starting in 2019. For more on the bill, read this week’s coverage by The Texas Tribune. The measure will head next to the Senate for consideration, but even if it passes, it has no direct bearing on the budget currently being considered by the legislature the next two years.
A conference committee appointed by both chambers to iron out differences in the House and Senate budget plans for SB 1 began its meetings earlier this week. ATPE encourages educators to contact members of the conference committee and urge them to send a budget compromise that adequately accommodates public education needs to the full legislature for swift approval. ATPE members can visit Advocacy Central to send messages to their lawmakers.
Stakeholders in the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) have a few more days left to cast a ballot for one of two open seats on the TRS Board of Trustees. Active members of TRS are invited to vote on a new at-large seat to be appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott based on the three highest vote-earners. Retired TRS members may vote on the at-large position, as well as a retiree position on the board. Voting closes on Friday, May 5, 2017. Learn more on the TRS website here.
CSHB 310, which would allow compensatory education allotment funds to be used to fund a district’s school guidance and counseling program.
HB 933, which would ban rolled or shaved baseball bats for use in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities.
CSHB 1075, which would require sports officials registered with UIL to undergo an additional criminal background check once every three years.
HB 1451, which would require SBOE adopt criteria to allow a student to earn one of the two foreign language credits required for high school graduation by successfully completing a dual language immersion program at an elementary school.
HB 1569, which would require a residential treatment facility to provide a student’s school, behavioral and arrest records to a district or open-enrollment charter school that provides educational services to a student placed in the facility.
HB 1886, which would specify that appropriate dyslexia screening or testing should be done upon enrollment in kindergarten and at the end of first grade.
CSHB 2087, which would protect student data. Specifically, the bill would protect students’ personally identifiable information from being gathered by web sites or providers for targeted advertising.
CSHB 3438, which would create a state financing program administered by the Texas Public Finance Authority (TPFA) to assist school districts with certain expenses.
CSHB 3476, which would require students who are required to take a physical under UIL rules to take an electrocardiogram. Chairman Dan Huberty (R-Houston) explained the substitute introduces additional flexibility.
HB 3548, which would grant immunity from personal liability to a director, officer or employee of the nonprofit corporation established by the Texas Public Finance Authority. The bill would specify that the nonprofit corporation itself is subject to liability only in the manner that applies to school districts.
HB 3706, which would allow community-based dropout recovery education programs to provide alternative education programs to at-risk students online, in addition to at a campus.
The committee will meet next at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, and again the following Thursday to vote on additional bills.
On Thursday, April 13, the Texas House Select Committee on State and Federal Power and Responsibility heard testimony about Social Security offsets in federal law that negatively affect many educators. The hearing was on HCR 101 by Rep. Abel Herrero (D-Corpus Christi) urging Congress to repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) of the Social Security Act. Learn more about the offsets in current law and how they affect educators here. Although the Texas Legislature does not have the authority to change federal laws, such as those governing Social Security, the measure would be a statement of support from Texas lawmakers for changing the GPO and WEP, which both have the effect of reducing many educators’ benefits. ATPE Lobbyist Monty Exter was among the witnesses who testified for the bill, which was left pending.
Last legislative session, ATPE supported a bill by Sen. Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) to create alternative pathways for eligible students to graduate without necessarily having passed all required STAAR tests. The law allowing for individual graduation committees to evaluate students’ post-secondary readiness is set to expire on Sept. 1 of this year unless extended. A number of bills have been filed this session to remove the expiration date on the law, including Sen. Seliger’s Senate Bill (SB) 463, which the Senate Education Committee heard this week. Learn more about the legislation, which ATPE supports, in this week’s blog post by ATPE Lobbyist Kate Kuhlmann.
Next week in the Texas Legislature, the House of Representatives has scheduled a floor debate for Wednesday, April 19, on House Bill (HB) 21. That’s the high-profile school finance reform bill by Rep. Dan Huberty (R-Kingwood) that we’ve written about here on our blog. The Senate Education Committee is also hearing a number of bills dealing with school finance during its next hearing on Tuesday, April 18.
Over in the House Public Education Committee, next Tuesday’s meeting will cover proposed legislation on broad topics ranging from curriculum standards to UIL. The House committee will also consider HB 306 by Rep. Ina Minjarez (D-San Antonio), a companion bill to SB 179 that would create “David’s Law” aimed at curbing cyberbullying and harassment that leads to suicide. ATPE offered support for the Senate version of the bill during a Senate State Affairs Committee hearing last week.
The State Board of Education (SBOE) is also meeting next week. Its four-day meeting begins Tuesday and will feature testimony and discussions of proposed changes to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for science and English language arts and reading. View the complete SBOE agenda here and stay tuned to our Teach the Vote blog and @TeachtheVote on Twitter next week for updates.
The Texas Senate Education Committee met twice this week for the first time this session, signaling things are picking up in the Texas Legislature. ATPE weighed in on two measures the committee took up this week: a measure termed the “Tim Tebow bill” and a bill pertaining to district partnerships with charters.
Senate Bill (SB) 1882 by Sen. Jose Menendez relates to a school district partnering with a public charter school to operate a district campus and share teachers, facilities, and other educational resources. ATPE shared several concerns with the bill, which included lack of clarity on which entity would serve as the educators’ employer and the fact that a law is not needed to enable districts to form this type of partnership. Another concern was addressed by Senator Menendez in a newer version of the original bill; under the proposed committee substitute, neighborhood schools would still have first access to their neighborhood school regardless of the fact that a charter operator took it over.
Senator Menendez’s comments included his intent to continue working to address the issues expressed by stakeholders, calling for “a community solution.” That includes ATPE’s concern regarding the ambiguity with regard to who would employ educators. ATPE shared that if a district teacher becomes an employee of the charter, it would affect their rights and benefits, as charter employees don’t have the same rights and benefits as traditional public school employees.
The broader issue ATPE has with this bill does not have to do with opposition to locally developed partnerships between high-quality charters and districts, but with the fact that the bill only serves to incentivize this means of focusing attention on a school while not doing the same with others. Many innovative approaches or effective turnaround models, including this one, can be adopted by a board currently and has been done in various districts. This bill, however, would offer an accountability pause when this is used as a turnaround model in unacceptably rated schools and financial incentives when this sort of partnership is developed on any campus. Ultimately, this could serve to lessen the value and utilization of other models or innovative options that might be very well-suited for a particular school or community.
The committee also heard testimony on SB 640 by Sen. Van Taylor, a bill that would allow home-school students to participate in UIL activities, a bill termed the “Tim Tebow bill.” ATPE opposed the legislation, pointing to a number of positions in the ATPE Legislative Program that contrast with the idea of home school students selectively choosing aspects of the public school system in which they want to participate. Home-school parents and students were present to testify in both support and opposition. ATPE’s full testimony can be read here.
The Texas Legislature is picking up speed rapidly. Stay tuned for more from the Senate Education Committee next week! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T08:53:57Z', 'url': 'https://www.teachthevote.org/news/tag/uil/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
This page provides detailed information about the OVP Fast Processor Model of the ARM cortex-a5 (Cortex-A5UP) core.
An ISS is a software development tool that takes in instructions for a target processor and executes them. The heart of an ISS is the model of the processor. Imperas has developed a range of ISS products for use in embedded software development that utilize this fast Fast Processor Model. The Imperas ARM cortex-a5 (Cortex-A5UP) ISS runs on Windows/Linux x86 systems and takes a cross compiled elf file of your program and allows very fast execution. The ARM cortex-a5 (Cortex-A5UP) ISS also provides access to standard GDB/RSP debuggers and connects to the Eclipse IDE and Imperas debuggers.
The cortex-a5 OVP Fast Processor Model also has parameters, model commands, and many registers. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T04:29:28Z', 'url': 'http://www.fast-iss-model.org/arm_models/arm_models_aliases/cortex-a5/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
It is 1970 in the suburbs of north London and, from the untidy comfort of her crowded house, Colette Jones is watching her older brother go to pieces, drinking himself into oblivion on home-made wine. Colette knows the solace a drink can provide, being partial to an evening at the Red Lion herself.
But soon she finds she cannot afford to ignore the destructive effect that alcohol is having on her family, and with gritted teeth Colette is forced to exile the alcoholic son she loves so much from the house. But this act takes its toll and, just as she can't resist a drink, so she can't resist allowing Janus back into her life - with heartbreaking consequences for everyone. Gerard Woodward's magnificent second novel continues the story of the Joneses, so memorably introduced in August.
By way of an odyssey through the pubs, parks and shopping parades of suburban London, it lurches from farce to tragedy as the members of one unforgettable family build and destroy their lives.
Gerard Woodward was born in London in 1961. After studying painting and anthropology, he published three prize-winning collections of poetry: Householder, After the Deafening and Island to Island. His first novel August, was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award. He lives in Manchester. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T06:47:47Z', 'url': 'https://www.booktopia.com.au/i-ll-go-to-bed-at-noon-gerard-woodward/prod9780099286936.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Kentwood Resident Sentenced to 45 Months in Prison for Role in Stealing Identities as Part of Nationwide Prostitution Scheme that Involved Drugging and Incapacitating Victims
By DOJ Press

NEW ORLEANS – U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that DOMINIQUE ALAINA BERRY, age 33, a resident of Kentwood, Louisiana, was sentenced on December 1, 2022 to 45 months in prison, the top of the range recommended by the United States Sentencing Guidelines, by United States District Judge Eldon E. Fallon after previously pleading guilty to a two-count bill of information that charged her with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, and interstate transportation and use of an interstate facility with intent to carry on unlawful activity, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 371, 1343, 1344, and 1952(a)(3) (Count 1), and aggravated identity theft, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028A (Count 2). Judge Fallon also sentenced Berry to a three-year term of supervised release after her imprisonment and ordered Berry to pay a $200 mandatory special assessment fee. He also scheduled a restitution hearing for April 13, 2023 at 2:00 pm.
According to court documents, BERRY met Randy Jonal Schenck (Schenck) in about early 2013 and soon developed a romantic relationship. Thereafter, BERRY began working for an escort agency under Schenck’s supervision, often engaging in prostitution activities. BERRY and Schenck travelled nationally engaging in their prostitution scheme, the proceeds of which Schenck required BERRY to give to him. Schenck and BERRY often advertised on location-specific bulletin boards, social applications, and classified advertisement websites. BERRY often used the alias “Desiree Knowles.” When BERRY did not perform her role efficiently or effectively or otherwise failed to comply with Schenck’s direction, Schenck would threaten, slap, strike, beat, and choke BERRY.
Thereafter, BERRY and Schenck’s enterprise evolved into one that involved meeting individuals online who were interested in companionship, arranging face-to-face interactions with them, and incapacitating them by giving them illegal drugs and prescription medication with neuro-suppressive side effects, including anti-psychotic medications, which the victims unknowingly ingested. BERRY and Schenck would then steal the victims’ valuables.
Between at least November 2015 and September 2017, Schenck and BERRY implemented the scheme on not fewer than fifty (50) occasions throughout the United States, including in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia. Court documents detail incidents involving nine of the victims. BERRY and Schenck were arrested at a hotel in Sandy Springs, Georgia, on September 13, 2017. When law enforcement authorities found BERRY at the hotel, she was bleeding from her nose, had a swollen lip and puncture consistent with her teeth biting through her lip, and black electrical tape around one of her arms.
Among the victims was S.A., a resident of Metairie, Louisiana, whom BERRY met through a social media application on about February 24, 2017. After exchanging text messages and phone calls, BERRY and S.A. agreed to meet at S.A.’s apartment. Thereafter, Schenck dropped BERRY off at S.A.’s apartment. While at S.A.’s apartment, BERRY placed drugs designed to incapacitate S.A., including multiple anti-psychotic medications, into S.A.’s beverages without his knowledge or authorization. After S.A. lost consciousness, BERRY told R.S. that S.A. was incapacitated. Thereafter, S.A.’s valuables, including his wallet, two cellular phones, his keys, and his 2012 Toyota Tacoma truck were stolen by R.S. and one or more co-conspirators. On February 25, 2017, Schenck and BERRY used S.A.’s debit card to make multiple purchases in the New Orleans area. Additionally, on February 25, 2017, detectives with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a wellness check at S.A.’s residence and found him to be deceased.
Schenck was charged separately by a federal grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of Louisiana in February 2020 in a twelve-count indictment. On May 10, 2022, Schenck pleaded guilty to two of the counts, charging him with interstate transportation and use of an interstate facility with intent to carry on unlawful activity, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1952(a)(3) (Count 1), and wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1343 and 2 (Count 7). Schenck was sentenced to 300 months (25 years) in prison on October 6, 2022.
U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in investigating this matter and the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s, EDLA Victim Witness staff members Brandi Calagna, Melissa Meunier and Brad Bordelon. U.S. Attorney Evans also expressed appreciation for the support provided by numerous law enforcement agencies and private entities involved in the investigation, including the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Tucson (Arizona) Police Department, the Salt River (Arizona) Police Department, the Cobb County (Georgia) Police Department, the Sandy Springs (Georgia) Police Department, the Sacramento (California) Police Department, and Talking Stick Casino (Arizona). Assistant United States Attorneys Jordan Ginsberg, supervisor of the Public Corruption Unit, and Melissa Bücher were in charge of the prosecution.

Senator shares photo of suspect sought in connection with murder of Capitol Police officer
tonight, a key focus among federal and local law enforcement agencies preventing a repeat of Wednesday's deadly siege of the U. S Capitol, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by CNN. Armed protests are being planned in Washington, D. C. And all 50 state capitals this weekend through Inauguration Day, officials monitoring online chatter and social media. They're obviously looking at open source things they're going through and and following up in some of these chat rooms and some of these places where extremists tend to lessen the dark corners of the Web. D. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, concerned about MAWR violent actors coming to Washington in the run up to the inauguration, is urging people not to come into the city on Inauguration Day. Our goals right now are to encourage Americans to participate virtually, uh, and to protect the District of Columbia. From a repeat of the violent insurrection experienced at the Capitol, the Pentagon is bolstering the National Guards presence in the nation's capital, with as many as 15,000 guardsmen to be deployed by Inauguration day. Meanwhile, the dragnet for the perpetrators of Wednesday's siege intensifies. At least 20 people have been rounded up across the country and face federal charges. Some are accused of bringing bombs and other weapons to Capitol Hill. Two men were arrested after photographs showed them wearing body armor and carrying plastic restraining ties inside the Capitol. One man is accused of writing in text messages that he wanted to shoot House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he'd brought guns and ammunition. One analyst says law enforcement is using sophisticated tools to track down many more suspects. All of the cell phone records, all of the Elektronik exhaust that that's given off by our cell phones, you know, crossing bridges and are easy pass and and license plate readers. And then matching that up with available online information, as well as conducting interviews of these people's friends and circles. Yeah, on new fallout tonight over the breakdowns that led to the overrunning of the capital. Now former Capitol Hill Police Chief Stephen's son, who resigned last week, tells CNN and The Washington Post he was concerned about what was coming in the days before the siege. Son says he asked his bosses, the House and Senate sergeant at arms for permission to request that the National Guard be on close standby, son says they turned him down. Concerned about the optics, Sung said that when the rioting was underway, he pleaded five more times for help, including to the Pentagon. For National Guardsmen to be deployed. Quote, I needed boots on the ground. Immediate assistance right then and there, Helping to form police lines to help secure up the foundation of the United States Capitol building, they were more concerned with the optics.

In spite of that, there are very few bootstrap projects who are working towards developing the open source application. Few of them have come a very long way and have created a name for themselves in their respective category. I am writing this article to highlight a few of them thinking it might bring an open source revolution in India:
Calibre E-Book Reader

With the likes of Magento and WooCommerce ruling the eCommerce world for the past couple of years, the scalability, security and high-performance of Laravel have pushed the framework a long way and it seemed like the best alternative to develop eCommerce application.
Chatwoot

Krayin
Krayin is a Free & Opensource Laravel CRM solution for SMEs and Enterprises for complete customer lifecycle management. It automates your organization’s Sales and Marketing Operations, as a result, exponential growth in sales. Krayin also supports package development, which allows you to extend the CRM using familiar Laravel concepts such as configuration, console commands, controllers, middleware, etc.
UVdesk
UVdesk is an open source and free ticketing based help system with multi-channel and integration support with your preferred MarketPlace, Ecommerce Store, Website Upfront forms and Email. It is a service-oriented, event-driven and extensible ticketing based customer support system built with Symfony and backbone.js. UVdesk has plenty of features like ticket management, e-mail collaboration, knowledge base management, reporting etc which help you provide proficient customer support experience to your clients.
There are many other open source applications slowly booming up in the Indian ecosystem like vTigerCRM, Edusec and WebZash to name a few. With more and more community joining their hands together and increased involvement of developers in events like hacktoberfest, things are up for grabs on adoption on open source ways to build applications.

Mouse and keyboard not working in Windows xp.
Discussion in 'Windows XP / Older OS' started by tuc-g, Jul 1, 2018.
I changed motherboards and after xp starts the mouse and keyboard do not work. It does see new hardware but it wants me to hit next but can not because windows do not see them yet. I have tried disabling found new hardware wizard but it still comes up. I have tried Sysprep with unattended mode with all the answers but it still gets stuck. PLEASE HELP!!! The mouse and keyboard work fine until xp starts.
And which mobo is it?
Make sure to use the USB 2 ports, or at least the only available PS/2 one. On the other hand, is there any special reason to stick with XP on such upgraded hardware?
If I do a fresh install of xp they work fine but I need to get this other drive to work. I am willing to pay anyone $20 with paypal for a working solution!
Let me make this clear. I have two hard drives.
One has a fresh copy of xp installed on it and works fine. This proves that the keyboard and mouse work fine with XP on this motherboard.
The second drive is from the original motherboard with all my programs on it and I need to get this drive to work with this motherboard.
When I start windows with my old drive it sees new hardware but then comes up with found new hardware - unknown - but then I am stuck.
The keyboard and mouse do not work so I can not do anything. When I reboot it just repeats the same thing.
I do not know why sysprep did not work for me.
I did make a copy of the hard drive and I did what you said but ended up with windows in a different folder and none of my programs worked. So that did not help.
- do you use the same cd which you use for first install on old hardware ?
wich folder for xp do you use first time?
How can I bypass the found new hardware wizard?
do you disconect all other HD's from the PC (exept the old one) before you boot from cd and install ?
I have given up on this. I did make a VHD out of my old drive and now I can run all my XP programs without a problem.
why indeed? running XP on that MSI Z87-G55 board was a bad idea from the start (unless OP is running XP thru VMWare Player or any other virtualization software). | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T20:18:24Z', 'url': 'https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/mouse-and-keyboard-not-working-in-windows-xp.77427/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Q: Error when getting row().data() from indexed db I tried to get the row data using
row(index).data()
Where index is the row index.
I get the data initially pushed to the table. But the update I do in "columnDefs" render() function is not reflected.
The value I return in render() function is reflecting in table but it is not got in row().data()
please see the screenshot value in table but it is null in the console. I have consoled row().data(). [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5IP56.png
please see I have returned value 10 for the column in "columnDefs" render() function and the value has come in table. [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9YMnq.png
A: I fixed the issue like this.
columnDefs: [
{
"targets": [],
"render": function(data, type, row) {
row[5] = row[2] * $(row[3]).val();
return row[5];
}
}]
what I did previously was like:
columnDefs: [
{
"targets": [],
"render": function(data, type, row) {
value = row[2] * $(row[3]).val();
return value;
}
}]
here new value is returned and it will be visible in table but the row data wont be updated. If we update row[] array we will get the update in row().data().

Five Things to Watch For: William and Mary
Time for the next game, everyone, and the Hokies head back to Blacksburg to take on the William and Mary Tribe

Well, okay, time to be done with the Florida State thing. No use in looking back anymore, and the William and Mary Tribe come into Blacksburg on Saturday.
#12 (#14) Virginia Tech (1-0, 1-0 ACC) vs. William & Mary Tribe (1-0, 0-0 CAA (FCS))
Gametime: 2:00PM (Parking opens at 7AM).
Location: Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, VA
Broadcast: ACC Network and WatchESPN (subject to blackout/availability)
Radio: Sirius Channel 78 | XM Channel 202 | Internet Channel 974 | WBRW 105.3 FM (Blacksburg Local)
Both teams opened with wins for the 2018 football season. Everyone here knows about the FSU win for Tech; the Tribe opened with a 14-7 win over the Bucknell Bison. Their leading stat-getters (with YouTube Video by William and Mary Athletics):
Passing: Shon Mitchell 21/32, 267yards, 1TD, 1INT.
Rushing: Albert Funderburke, Jr. 17 attempts, 61 yards, 3.6 avg, 0TDs. Shon Mitchell 8 attempts, -20 yards, -2.5 avg, 1TD.
Receiving: DeVonte Dedmon 3 receptions, 125 yards, 1 TD. Jack Armstrong 5 receptions, 50 yards. Nick Muse 5 receptions, 48 yards.
Notables: Mitchell should be a somewhat familiar name to Virginia Tech recruiting heads. A class of 2017 dual-threat quarterback from Oscar Smith, Mitchell was sniffed around by Virginia Tech as an athlete or wide receiver, but wished to continue playing quarterback, and therefore went to the smaller school. His issue was that he lacked the prototypical size of an FBS quarterback at only 5’-11”, 170lbs (he’s listed at 6’-0”, 180lbs now, which is actually pretty believable). He started three games last year, in which he was 22-58 for 140 yards and three interceptions. http://www.dailypress.com/sports/william-and-mary/dp-spt-william-and-mary-quarterback-decision-0825-story.html. Mitchell is a dual threat type in the same vein as Josh Jackson- moderately mobile with a decent arm and decent head on his shoulders. Look for Bud Foster to try and throw a relatively inexperienced starter plenty of exotic stuff.
Defensive/Special Teams statistics:
247 yards allowed, 2 turnovers forced. Leading defenders: Arman Jones 10 tackles, TFL. Isaiah Laster, 1 INT. 1 Fumble Forced/Recovered. Blocked Punt.
The Tribe pretty much stifled Bucknell all day, not even allowing them to record 300 offensive yards and holding them to 1 touchdown. Unfortunately, much like how Florida State’s 7-6 prior season can put a bit of a damper on expectations, Bucknell is coming off of a 5-6 year last year, and last time they played William and Mary they only scored 9 points (30-9 in 2017).
What to Watch For:
1. The Weather
Current forecasts have the weather in Blacksburg as pretty inhospitable this weekend. Expect chances of showers and thunderstorms all morning and afternoon, with an overall precipitation of about an tenth to a quarter of an inch, with more intermittent bursts with the storms rolling through. This would be the second Tech game played in inclement weather this year. Big thing about rain is that it obviously forces some amount of simplicity and controllability into the gameplan for the day. I’d imagine that, especially against a team of admittedly lower level, Coach Fuente would be more inclined to keep the ball on the ground and keep things small and uncomplicated. I’d wager that there’d be a limited amount of passing and a lot of DeShawn McClease and Steven Peoples, with Jalen Holston and Coleman Fox working in if things start getting out of hand.
2. The Passing Game (?)
Well, despite the win, the offense does have some work to do. And despite my previous thought that they could go quite conservatively, Coaches Fuente and Cornelsen could at least attempt to push the offense to take advantage of their talent superiority and fix some of the errors that plagued them during the Florida State game. Drops, failed blocking assignments, and mental mistakes crippled the team’s offensive potential, and so if they do decide to go to the air, it might be in a lot of short, choppy, tempo passes to try and get as many reps as possible for both Josh Jackson and his group of receivers. The other thing that I’d like to see is more tight ends in the passing game. Chris Cunningham put in a great effort last week in run blocking, which is one of the reasons they kept him in and he only recorded one catch. Dalton Keene recorded zero.
3. Defensive End Play
Well, after ripping through an undermanned line, it’d be nice to see that trend continue. Right now William and Mary is starting two new offensive linemen- left tackle Griffin Gilder and right tackle Colby Sorsdal. The latter is also a true freshman, which means while he might be talented, he’s also inexperienced. Look for Foster to try and get pressure again with just his front for and let his linebackers roam and get experience in coverage. William and Mary’s statistics at Bucknell show that Mitchell’s not shy about targeting multiple receivers (nine receivers logged a catch), so it would be advantageous to try and leverage talent and cover out.
4. Injuries
Okay, be whatever it was that happened last weekend as it may, slippery conditions mean that things could get bad for twisted ankles, knees, and any and all other joint maladies from uneven and slick surfaces. The team needs to- as much as is humanly possible- avoid injury and give players that might be dinged or dented a chance to heal. While injury reports aren’t going to be issued in the ACC anymore, I’d assume that whatever precautions that could be taken with players such as Ricky Walker and Reggie Floyd will be. I’d also assume that there would be a good amount of rotation between players merely for depth purposes, leading to point 5…
5. Training opportunities
Despite the fact that the Hokies won last week, it doesn’t mean that they’re instantly going to shed their ‘young and inexperienced label’ instantly. So much of the two-deep is either freshmen or sophomores of some variety. It’s time to get them some experience. This is a lower-division team. Blow them out as much as is safety possible and get things to the second stringers. I want to see more out of the projected freshmen contributors- Dax Hollifield, Tre Turner, DJ Crossen, and Chamarri Conner all hopefully will get a chance to log valuable playing experience. And that’s just amongst the ‘second stringers’. We still need more experience for players like Tyjuan Garbutt, Bryce Watts, Caleb Farley, and Dylan Rivers.
Alright, Hokies, be ready to enjoy a game on Saturday. I personally hope that the quick turnaround on the game week won’t adversely affect the team, and it shouldn’t, but the last time we faced an FBS foe five days after a big season opener in a rainstorm, it didn’t end well. I don’t think this team is that team, and they’re coming off the elation of a victory rather than a hard-fought loss that was handed to them by rather poor officiating. But this team showed it has a lot of promise; time to go 1-0 again.
Go Hokies! Beat William and Mary!

South Texas College announces 2019 MEDA scholarship opportunity for Mission residents
MEDA Scholarship
In partnership with South Texas College and the Mission Economic Development Authority, STC Student Financial Services has announced that it is inviting qualified candidates to apply for the annual MEDA Scholarship available to residents of the City of Mission. If eligible, scholarship recipients can receive up to $3,200 to help pay for their education at South Texas College.
South Texas College in partnership with The Mission Economic Development Authority (MEDA) invites permanent residents of the City of Mission who are interested in furthering their education to apply for this year’s MEDA scholarship.
By alleviating some of the financial burden off students and families with the scholarship, STC and the City of Mission hope to increase a student's chances of matriculating, and ultimately ensure that they have greater success in college.
If eligible, scholarship recipients can receive up to $3,200 to help pay for their education at South Texas College.
“At South Texas College, we believe that students should not feel burdened by finances while pursuing their education,” said Judy Martinez, STC Coordinator of Scholarships. “We encourage residents of the City of Mission to apply because opportunities like the MEDA scholarship have already made college possible for many students.
“There were short-term and long-term goals I set for myself. Obtaining my bachelor’s degree was a long-term goal I achieved with the financial help granted to me by the MEDA scholarship.”
Jessica Rodriguez, a MEDA scholarship recipient and recent STC graduate.
“It is our hope that removing some of the financial burden off students and their families, will inspire Mission residents to pursue higher education, to have greater success academically, and to ultimately become graduates of South Texas College,” Martinez said.
The STC Board of Trustees approved and authorized the acceptance of the MEDA Scholarship on Aug. 29, 2012, which established a trust of $3 million with funds to be used to establish and offer scholarships.
The scholarship was first awarded in the fall of 2013, and since then 420 students have benefited from the scholarship with a total of $782,500 awarded to date. Over 250 MEDA scholarship recipients have received their degree or certificate from South Texas College.
To be eligible, students must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, must be a permanent resident of the City of Mission, have completed one semester at STC with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, must have a high school diploma or GED, and be enrolled at least part-time at the college.
Awards are determined by semester enrollment, and the scholarship is renewable as long as students meet continued eligibility requirement. Recipients may receive up to $3,200 in scholarship funds.
“There were short-term and long-term goals I set for myself,” said Jessica Rodriguez, a MEDA scholarship recipient and recent STC graduate. “Obtaining my bachelor’s degree was a long-term goal I achieved with the financial help granted to me by the MEDA scholarship.”
The scholarship application and additional information is available at https://studentservices.southtexascollege.edu/finaid/scholarships/meda.html with a deadline of June 28th. Students may contact Javier Guajardo at 956-872-2629 or [email protected] for more information.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court
The president praises Kavanaugh as ‘one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time.’

July 10, 2018 10:07 am
President Donald Trump announced on Monday evening that he would nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be a Supreme Court justice, setting up a major confirmation battle in the Senate as Trump moves to dramatically reshape the court.
The nomination comes less than two weeks after Justice Anthony Kennedy, long a swing vote on the deeply divided court, announced his retirement, handing Trump the second vacancy of his presidency.
Kavanaugh, 53, has served on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit since 2006. A former Kennedy clerk and aide to President George W. Bush, Kavanaugh is widely revered in conservative legal circles.
He also worked for independent counsel Kenneth Starr, whose investigation led to the eventual impeachment of President Bill Clinton. In a point sure to be brought up by Democrats, Kavanaugh was a lead author of the controversial Starr report.
There is no one in America more qualified for this position and no one more deserving” — U.S. President Donald Trump
“What matters is not a judge’s political views but whether they can set aside those views to do what the law and the constitution require,” Trump said in announcing his pick. “Tonight it is my honor and privilege to announce that I will nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court.”
Kavanaugh was greeted by sustained applause.
“They do not stand and give applause like that very often,” Trump quipped.
He went on to hail Kavanaugh, praising his “impeccable credentials,” dedication to “equal justice under the law,” and calling him “one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time.”
“There is no one in America more qualified for this position and no one more deserving,” Trump declared.
Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate” — U.S. Senate judiciary committee Chairman Chuck Grassley
Kavanaugh, who was joined at the ceremony by his wife Ashley and two daughters, struck a grateful and deferential tone.
“Throughout this process I’ve witnesses firsthand your appreciation for the vital role of the American judiciary,” Kavanaugh said, complimenting Trump for consulting a wide range of advisers as he made the decision. “Mr. President, I am grateful to you and I am humbled by your confidence in me.”
“My judicial philosophy is straightforward: A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law,” he declared. “A judge must interpret statutes as written and a judge must interpret the constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.”
Kavanaugh also sought, at times, to strike a non-partisan tone.
Speaking of his colleagues on the D.C. Circuit Court, he called each “a friend,” and declared he is grateful to the Harvard dean who hired him: Justice Elena Kagan.
He added that his law clerks “come from diverse backgrounds and points of view,” and noted that more than half have been women.
The night was one of near-jubilant celebration for Republicans, a moment of ringing unity even as some within the party remain deeply uncomfortable with Trump.
Kavanaugh was seen as safe choice for Trump. He has the traditional resume of a Supreme Court Justice — a Yale law degree, a Supreme Court clerkship under Kennedy, more than a decade on the Circuit Court — and he is well-regarded in academic and political circles.
He beat out three other Circuit Court judges who were among Trump’s finalists: Judges Amy Coney Barrett, Raymond Kethledge and Thomas Hardiman.
With a large body of work, Kavanaugh will present unique confirmation challenges. Republicans hold just 51 senate seats and, with Senator John McCain in treatment for cancer in Arizona, that margin is cut to 50. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell faces the daunting task of holding his caucus together as Republicans push to confirm Kavanaugh before November’s mid-term elections, which could swing the Senate to the Democrats.
“Brett was one of the most thoughtful, soft-spoken, serious people you meet,” said former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who worked alongside Kavanaugh in the White House. “He was unflappable. I never remember him raising his voice, I never remember him getting upset. He had a keen intellect, a smart approach and everybody liked him.”
Fleischer expects conservatives to line up behind Kavanaugh.
“Conservatives are going to find in that deep, long record a lot to rally behind,” he said.
Judge Kavanaugh is a highly-qualified nominee with an outstanding legal background” — U.S. Senator Roy Blunt
That “long record,” however, could be a double-edged sword.
“He has written hundreds of opinions, so has a substantial paper trail,” said Carl Tobias, a professor at University of Richmond School of Law. “Those papers will be closely scrutinized and some worry could slow the process and prevent seating him before the court term starts.”
Among those hundreds of opinions is a recent dissent on a controversial abortion case. Kavanaugh dinged his fellow judges for ruling against the administration in allowing an undocumented minor to undergo an abortion, saying they had devised “a new right for unlawful immigrant minors in U.S. Government detention to obtain immediate abortion on demand.”
But some conservatives have privately argued that his dissent did not go far enough and have expressed skepticism he may not be a reliable vote in potentially overturning Roe v. Wade.
Kavanaugh also dissented in a 2011 case in which his colleagues upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. But Kavanaugh’s dissent was underwhelming to many conservatives, as it focused more on the merits of the lawsuit itself, which Kavanaugh argued was premature, than the legality of the ACA.
Republican senators were quick to hail the choice.
“Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate,” said Senate judiciary committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in a statement. “His credentials are well known, and he’s served with distinction as a judge on the esteemed D.C. Circuit for more than a decade. He is a superb mainstream candidate worthy of the Senate’s consideration.”
“Judge Kavanaugh is a highly-qualified nominee with an outstanding legal background,” Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said in a statement.

Democrats, meanwhile, were quick to criticize the choice.
“In selecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, President Trump has put reproductive rights and freedoms and health care protections for millions of Americans on the judicial chopping block,” said Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a statement. “This nomination could alter the balance of the court in favor of powerful special interests and against working families for a generation, and would take away labor, civil, and human rights from millions of Americans. We cannot let that happen. If we can successfully block this nomination, it could lead to a more independent, moderate selection that both parties could support.”
“The nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is enormously concerning and I’m strongly opposed to it,” said Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the judiciary committee and a possible contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, in a statement. “His nomination should be a non-starter for every member of the Senate concerned about the integrity of the special counsel’s investigation and worried about the Court undermining the rights of women to make their own medical decisions; civil rights; the rights of Americans to quality, affordable healthcare; voting rights; the rights of workers to organize for better wages and working conditions; and more.”
Senator Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), who faces a tough 2018 reelection fight in a state Trump carried easily, struck a more conciliatory tone, saying only in a statement that he “will carefully review and consider the record and qualifications of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.”
The fight will be fought by outside interest groups as well. The National Rifle Association applauded the nomination as an “outstanding choice” on Monday evening, as outside groups like the conservative Judicial Crisis Network prepare to launch ad buys supporting Kavanaugh.
“He has one of the most extensive records out there. He’s an amazing writer and an amazing thinker,” Carrie Severino, the chief counsel and policy director at the Judicial Crisis Network, told POLITICO, referring to Kavanaugh as a “legal rock star.”
Perhaps in a preview of the fight ahead, the ceremony was largely a partisan affair. The White House invited five Democratic senators to attend — all declined.

Moaning Myrtle is also the first character I'm featuring who doesn't have a pet, so I decided to give her a little rubber ducky. Maybe it will help cheer her up (I doubt it).
Like Elvis, Moaning Myrtle died in a bathroom. Also, like Elvis, she continues to haunt that bathroom to this day. Wait... the Brits don't say "bathroom." They call them "poo-poo closets", I think. Anyway, it's a pretty lousy gig for a ghost, especially one who lives in a massive, gothic, enchanted castle full of nervous children. Overall, Hogwarts is an ideal place for a ghost. Don't limit yourself to the potty, MM!
Myrtle died in the bathroom because it was also the location Salazar Slytherin used to build the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, and Myrtle had the misfortune of catching Tom "I Love Anagrams" Riddle sneaking into the chamber. The question here is, why did Mr. Slytherin use the girls' restroom as the place where he hid the entrance to the hiding place of his giant snake? That... that does not seem appropriate.
Our second vectory Potter character is Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and his pet phoenix, Fawkes.
I wish every Harry Potter character had a pet instead of just most of them. I enjoy having their pets in there.
I wonder if anyone else didn't read the Harry Potter novels for a while because they picked up a copy, saw the name "Professor Dumbledore" in the synopsis and thought, "Nope. Too stupid." I had to hear how good the series was several more times after that before giving them a chance.
Dumbledore is a great example of a delightful literary type: the gentile wise old man who is also secretly a complete badass. One of my favorite moments of the entire series belongs to old Albus. It's when the ministry of magic comes to arrest him, and he responds: "Well, it's just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to - what is the phrase? - come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quitely at all, Cornelius." And then BOOM. Complete badass.
Dumbledore loves candy, which is why he's depicted here enjoying one of his favorites: lemon drops. Loving candy is kind of a dangerous thing to do in the wizarding world since there are chocolate frogs that will jump away from you, exploding candy's that might actually kill you (unlike that urban legend about Jerry "Leave it To Beaver" Mathers), and of course those Every Flavor Beans might be delicious or might be Shaq's armpit flavored.
Another favorite A. P. W. B. Dumbledore quote: "Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young."
True dat, Wulfric. Pass the candy.
I tried to make Hedwig as much as close to my memories of the owls on the Memory game tiles my family had in the 70s. I kind of love him. There's a little Mary Blair influence in there too.
Harry Potter is "The Boy Who Lived!" Kind of a weird nickname to walk around with all the time. What if someone came up to you and said, "hey, you're the boy who lived!" I'd be like, "hey, you're alive too, dumbass!" Of course, I know they mean that he survived an attack from the evil Lord Voldemort (which, translated from the Latin means "Volvo of Death"), but it's still a weird nickname. I'm sure Harry loves being called something that reminds him of his parents' grisly murder ten times a day.
Like Luke Skywalker, baby Harry was hidden in exactly the first place his enemies might go looking for him: with his only relatives. I understand there were enchantments placed on the joint that kept him safe from magical attack, but couldn't the death eaters have just hired a Muggle thug to shoot him in the face? They're too good for that?
Not only is the Dursley house an obvious hiding spot, it's a terrible place to live. Here's this kid that's survived his parent's brutal death and is seen as an icon of hope an sacrifice by his people and they dump him with the people who will treat him only slightly better than his worst enemies would. These are parents that got kicked out of a Roald Dahl book for being too nasty. His bedroom is a tiny cupboard under the stairs and his possessions are few. I guess that's why when he eventually learns that he's loaded with gold in a goblin bank, he never chooses to share any of his mountains of wealth with the poor Weasley family that spends the majority of their time trying to protect his rich behind.
Also depicted here is Harry's pet snow owl Hedwig. People in the wizarding world use owls to deliver their mail. Oddly, they live among us in secret, but have never caught on to a faster method of delivering information to people far away than strapping a piece of paper to a bird. They can fly and teleport and make items appear out of nowhere, but have nothing approaching e-mail and cell phones. You can't use a wand and a cell phone? Do your magical vibrations interfere with the signal? Not only do cell phones receive calls and messages instantly, you don't have to clean up their poop either. Look into it, wizards. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T00:12:30Z', 'url': 'http://friendlyneighborhoodbrodie.blogspot.com/2011/06/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

The Annual Big Brother Review - 21 August 2005
"I mean, it wasn't bad, it was a fair try" - Robert Robinson.
Coming at the end of the article, the confirmation of who has won Big Brother according to the press coverage of the show, as monitored by those kind hamsters at Celebdaq Towers.
But we really have to write something about the series as a whole. "Chasing ratings" clearly springs to mind. Gone is the spirit of adventure that characterised the first few years of the show, replaced by a desire to bring in the audience no matter what. Gone, also, is any attempt to underpin the entire series with a planned running theme. From "unity through adversity" through "voyage of discovery" and "evil is as evil does", there's always been an attempt at a coherent message binding each night together. This year, there's been no such theme, just a series of random events, connected only by the participants.
The ratings have suffered badly this year. ITV's Celebrity Love Island overcame tabloid resistance to become a successful spoiler tactic during the opening week's of this year's Big Brother. The London bombings demanded that the public divert attention, but they never returned to this series. As a result, average ratings were around 4.4 million viewers, the lowest figure since Big Brother became a seven-night-a-week franchise in 2002.
We noted some weeks ago that key plot twists were being flagged up through the tabloid press. Surely it would be to the show's advantage to keep more of the details to themselves, maintaining the element of surprise for the viewers. The viewers can only take so much chortling along the lines of "What the house-mates don't know is that instead of really being evicted, the viewers have been voting for someone to be covered in liquid chocolate and return as a statue." Too many pre-planned plot twists and it becomes absolutely clear, even to the most dense viewer, who runs this show. Hint: not the viewers.
Perhaps Endemol has reached the bottom of the contestant pool, or run out of creative ideas, and cannot find anyone capable of making or appearing in really good television. Amongst this year's participants, it's difficult to see how anyone will transform their fleeting celebrity into a more permanent fame. Inevitably, at least one of the contestants will appear in lewd magazines, if not indecent ones. Perhaps Derek, who had already achieved a toe-hold on the ladder, will be the only one we remember ten years hence, but this would not be for his exploits in Big Brother.
Big Brother is no longer water-cooler television. It's slipped into the background, become wallpaper television to promote other Channel 4 programmes. Much of the problem is surely that the show has degenerated into a bunch of twentysomethings yelling at each other. As we found on Simply the Best, a show that pumps up the volume is attempting to distract from some other shortfall. The length of the run must also be a factor - this year's series ran for a yawn-inducing twelve weeks, making the two-month opening series look like a sprint in comparison.
It's notable that the annual Rush To Defend Big Brother (this year, host Davina McCall in an interview with the rusty old Radio Times) has again missed the boat. Last year, you'll recall that Peter Bazelgette, head of Endemol, attacked the critics for being old prudes. This year, Ms McCall says that the critics were "pseudo-intellectuals who never watched it." By the same token, we could have a pop at people (television presenters, say) who don't even bother to watch 150-minute documentaries about the flightpath of the Kampuchean moth in their original Laotian, and call them "pseudo-imbeciles"? Ms McCall has missed the central point - you can't force people to watch something they don't want to, and it's best all round to let people find their own version of fun, rather than ramming it down their throats.
Our host rather weakens her argument with the spurious claim, "they picked a broad cross-section of normal people." So, everyone in the UK is under 40? That's desperately bad news for Countdown, that is.
Channel 4 has commissioned another two years of Big Brother, and a celebrity edition for next year. There will, no doubt, be changes for next year. This column will reflect upon those changes at an appropriate moment.
The final column inches are in, the editors have spoken, and here are the results. Most of those shown as remaining in the house have suffered this week, after a mass sell-off of their Celebdaq stock.
17 (nc) Mary 9.1
16 (nc) Lesley 10.0
15 (nc) Doctor 10.5
14 (nc) Kinga 11.9
13 (nc) Roberto 12.8
12 (-1) Eugene 13.1
11 (-1) Vanessa 13.9
10 (+2) Sam 14.5
9 (-3) Derek 17.5
8 (nc) Science 17.6
7 (+2) Orlaith 17.7
6 (-2) Kemal 18.2
5 (nc) Maxwell 18.5
4 (+3) Saskia 18.6
3 (nc) Craig 20.5
2 (-1) Anthony 21.8
1 (+1) Makosi 22.6
Yes, Anthony lost half his value last week, a slump that's cost him the win. For comparison, a 20-fold increase would have turned the original £100 investment into a million quid.
We have completely lost the thread of this series. It's been going since February, fell off for other shows during May and June, and again last week. We think this is the sixteenth heat of the series, but it could be the nineteenth, or something else.
Neil Crockford is talking on the Novels of Raymond Queenau. We know very little about this author before the round begins, and very little about him during the two minutes of questioning. During earlier incarnations, the questions gave a bit of an introduction to the subject. It's details all the way, and Mr Crockford scores 16 (0).
Kevin Finnan offers Ireland during World War II. This is another superlative display, with another final score of 16 (0).
Indrani Herriaratchi has been studying the Life and Works of Marie Curie. It's a subject crammed full of tricky names, and there are fewer questions here than either gentleman saw. 9 (1) is her final score.
Laurence Inman takes Shakespeare's History Plays. It's far too large a subject - just answering questions on the Henry plays would be acceptable - and he finishes on 7 (2).
Mr Inman agrees that his subject was too large, and propounds the idea that Mr Shakespeare was from Birmingham, and not from Stratford. His general knowledge round starts well, but loses its thread part way through, finishing on 19 (3).
Mrs Herriaratchi is not only related to Mrs Bandranaike, the former prime minister of Ceylon, but entered game show history by looping-the-loop no fewer than three times on The People Versus. Her luck isn't in on this show, though, a final score of 19 (4).
Mr Crockford confirms that no-one reads Queenau in Britain. His general knowledge round is stuttering, and finishes on 26 (1).
We are running a little early this week, but not quite early enough to fit in a tie-breaker. It becomes a formality when Mr Finnan makes his second pass while still on 17 points. The round has a lot of passes, and ends on 22 (6).
Countdown Update
The press reported this week that a decision about a new presenter of Countdown will be made "shortly". This column would like to add its twopenn'orth at this stage.
We must assume that the regulars of Countdown will remain the same. Carol Vorderman will still look after the numbers, and put the letters up. Susie Dent will still act as the guardienne of the dictionaries, confirming which words are valid. We must also assume that there will continue to be more contests between two gentlemen than between two ladies, and that there will still be more contests between two (relative) youngsters than two old people.
On that basis, it's not strictly necessary to have a gentleman hosting the show. Countdown is successful enough to live with an all-female line-up occasionally. All of the suggestions here are people of a certain maturity - the world is not yet ready for Dick And Dom's Creamy Count Muck.
Richard Whiteley has moulded Countdown in a particular manner, and it would be necessary for the incoming presenter to honour some traditions. The game is bigger than the presenter, who needs to be able to take part when one can. Ease and banter with Carol, Susie, and the contestants is vital. Knowledge of the rules would be very useful, the ability to tot up the scores correctly would be advantageous, but the programme's survived without that quality. The ability to cope with a live (or as-live) television programme is a must.
As such, here are some thoughts on a few candidates.
Richard Digance was scheduled to take the presenter's seat in July. He may be too closely identified with Richard Whiteley's era to make the show his own. The production team has confidence in him, and that must count for a lot.
Ken Bruce has been mentioned on various fan fora. He's been an occasional Dictionary Corner celeb, and his daily radio show proves that he can communicate very well with people. He may not wish to give up a very good slot on Radio 2, and we don't recall any significant work on the television.
Phillip Schofield has also been bandied about a bit. He's tied to ITV's This Morning, which might not be a tremendous problem if the will were there. His work in the Broom Cupboard and Going Live is rightly the stuff of legend, and he's thoroughly easy to like. Having three regulars of about the same age might cause problems on screen.
To the best of our knowledge, no-one has suggested Simon Groom for the job. He held the live Blue Peter together during a rocky period around 1980, before it turned into the Si, Saz, and Pete show of legend, complete with double-entendres about a replica of Durham Cathedral's door-knocker. We know he could hold the show together, but as Simon's not appeared on national television in nearly twenty years, he simply may not want to.
We might wish to draw from the same well as Richard, regional news programmes. Bob Warman is an obvious candidate - he is held in very high esteem by viewers across ATVland, where he's presented the news almost since the invention of television. He could be a more avuncular figure than many of the other people in this list, and has experience hosting some game shows. He also spent a few years in the late 70s working alongside Richard Whiteley at Calendar.
Less preferable would be the man Bob replaced, Austin Mitchell. Like former MPs Gyles Brandreth and Clement Freud, there's too much of a danger that the host would overpower the show. Mr Brandereth recognises this, and has confirmed that he will not seek the job.
Lesley Garrett, Jennie Bond, and Esther Rantzen were all down to host some editions of Countdown during the summer. Ms Garrett would not be able to combine a permanent host's role with her regular singing career. Ms Rantzen would be an intriguing choice of host, she would surely be able to shed the baggage she brings from That's Life! Ms Bond would certainly be worth an audition, though this column has never particularly warmed to her appearances alongside Susie.
Whoever gets the role - and it's probably going to be someone not mentioned above - we wish them all the luck in the world.
This Week And Next
If you're one of the almost two people wondering what happened to Johnny Vaughan, we have the answer. He's gone to the States, where he's hosting My Kind of Town on obscure network ABC. The show's made by Monkey Productions, best known here for superior quiz Grand Slam, and flies a town of about 200 people to a major city, where there are all sorts of silly games. The show secured 7.1 million viewers, according to overnight ratings. Compare and contrast with Channel 4, which had 7.8 million people see the last person leave the Big Brother house last weekend, or 7.7 million view England and Australia's cricket match end in a draw on Monday.
Returning to the topic of boring and derivative television, the second series of ITV talent search (or Simon Cowell promotion) The X Factor began last night. Last year's winner, Steve Brookstein, has been dropped already. The early favourite to win (ok, the only person mentioned this morning) is Lemar From Fame Academy's Brother.
Not a classic week for new shows; when the most exciting novelty is Cameron Stout's Language Dialect Quiz (next Friday on BBC Radio Scotland), we know it's summer.

Waxwork Records is proud to announce the next entry into their collection of FRIDAY THE 13TH soundtrack releases on vinyl, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3
Waxwork Records is proud to announce the next entry into their collection of FRIDAY THE 13TH soundtrack releases on vinyl, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3. Waxwork and composer Harry Manfredini re-visited the original analog tapes in an effort to faithfully master the complete soundtrack for vinyl. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 includes every musical cue featured in the film and encompasses two 180 gram LP’s clocking in at nearly one hour of chilling audio which serve as a dark musical backdrop to one of the most beloved franchises for horror fans.
Originally released in 1982 and in 3-D, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 is the first film to feature the legendary slasher, Jason Voorhees, wearing his signature hockey mask. This image of a machete wielding, hockey masked killer became the trademark for the franchise, as well as an iconic image in American cinema and horror films in general.
To keep in tune with the original 3-D theatrical release of the film, Waxwork created a deluxe quality 3-D lenticular mounted album cover for the heavyweight old-style tip-on gatefold jacket which houses two LP’s featuring the complete soundtrack.
Waxwork Records incorporated the lost, deleted final scene of the film into the inner gatefold illustration. This deleted scene from the film depicted an unmasked Jason Voorhees violently beheading the “final girl”. Deemed too graphic by the film studio, the scene was cut from the movie altogether. Here’s your chance to see it up close and personal through the artistic vision of Gary Pullin.
And yes, this soundtrack release includes the now famous “Disco Theme” from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3’s opening credits!

After undergoing an extensive eight-month rebranding process, the 86-year-old Southern Highland Craft Guild has released a new logo and supporting messaging.
The key feature of the rebranding is a new logo, which incorporates historical imagery to highlight the unique story of the Guild's inception. A cabin among the pines is where founder Frances Goodrich established Allanstand Cottage Industries in 1899. The last update to the organization's logo was in 1997.
The Guild’s new look will roll out over several months through the organization’s website, signage, advertising, and brochures. Starting in 2017, there will be a push towards membership recruitment to invite makers and educational centers to utilize the creative benefits and opportunities of the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
Though the organization will keep its name, the four retail shops will change their names to align with the Guild brand; Southern Highland Craft Guild in Biltmore Village, Southern Highland Craft Guild at the Folk Art Center, Southern Highland Craft Guild on Tunnel Road, and Southern Highland Craft Guild at Moses Cone Manor.
The 86-year-old nonprofit organization boasts over 850 members from 293 counties that span the mountains from Maryland to Alabama. Membership in the Guild is open to makers in eleven different craft media: clay, glass, wood, fiber, metal, leather, natural materials, paper, jewelry, manmade materials, and mixed media. An updated mission statement clearly defines the Guild’s relevance to the creative community today: Cultivating the crafts and makers of the Southern Highlands for the purpose of shared resources, education, marketing, and conservation.

Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School is among six North Carolina Rosenwald schools to be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a $70,000 Underrepresented Community Grant (URC) from the National Park Service to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office.
The URC grant program provides funds to state, tribal, and local governments to survey and designate communities that are underrepresented in the National Register. These schools reflect the historic significance to North Carolina's African American community and span the state of North Carolina representing the eastern, southeastern, central, and western regions.
The 100-year-old school is undergoing renovation with support provided by Madison County Schools, Mars Hill College, and the dedication of the Historic Anderson Rosenwald Rehabilitation Project committee. Grants are being sought to help preserve the school and return it to an active role at the center of the community.
In addition to the Mars Hill school, other Rosenwald Schools to be nominated include Allen Grove School, Bladen County Training School, Canetuck School, Castalia School, and Concord School. All of the nominations will be prepared in 2017 and reviewed before spring 2018.

Jan Davidson, award-winning executive director of the John C. Campbell Folk School, is retiring effective March 1, 2017, after a 25-year career with the organization.
The John C. Campbell Folk School was founded in 1925 by progressive educators Olive Dame Campbell and Marguerite Butler, and provides enriching experiences in non-competitive learning and community life.
Davidson has been the catalyst for the school evolving from a seasonal crafts school to a true year-round folk school. An accomplished writer, musician and speaker, Davidson embodied the ideals of the school when he came on board in 1992. Under his leadership the school has more than doubled its enrollment—from 2,500 students to 6,000 annually—and has become a year-round institution, increasing classes from 150 to 864 offerings each year.

Rallying for Science in Atlanta
The following two speeches were presented by members of Science for the People’s Atlanta chapter, Lauren Wiggins and Rebekah Ward, at their local March for Science on April 14, 2018. Click here to see photos and read reports on Science for the People organizing at the March for Science in the U.S. and Mexico.
Lauren Wiggins:
Good Afternoon! My name is Lauren, and I am here representing the Atlanta Chapter of Science for the People at the 2018 Rally for Science and I’m excited to be here with you all today! And today I’m going to talk about climate change, big business, and social justice.
Lauren Wiggins
My first introduction to climate change was in 2014. I was an intern for Greenpeace–you may have heard of it. At the time, I wasn’t aware of the influence they’d had on society since the 1970s, nor was I aware of their current status as the largest global environmental organization. Truth be told, I’d just heard of the idea of climate change a few months prior to getting the internship. I’d heard of climate change from a friend in my junior year of college. I read a few articles, joined a sustainability group, and attended a conference or two on climate science and activism, and at that point I really thought I’d found my passion…but while I was interning at the Greenpeace USA headquarters, I stumbled upon an article about people who are trafficked into forced labor in the fishing industry. I was absolutely blown away, and wondered why this aspect of sustainability wasn’t more widely publicized along with the “save the whales” marketing Greenpeace had used for decades.
But I’m not here to talk about what lead me to my passion, I’m here to open your minds to what wasn’t taught to me as a school-aged child: climate change and social responsibility.
Most of us here have heard plenty about the environmental movement. We all support it and I’m sure I don’t need to stand here and convince you all that climate change is real, but what I will do is convince you that there’s a neglected narrative in the green movement. While we focus on campaigns to save the polar bears, the Sumatran tigers, the green sea turtles and other species that are undoubtedly worth saving: We often leave the most under-resourced and marginalized communities behind in this movement. It always baffles me to see large environmental campaigns driven by the concern of species far outside our own, but when we think about the human beings–you know, our neighbors, our community members, those who look like and reflect us–who in this instance, live less than ten miles from us, we often have no remorse for their circumstances or surroundings, or concern for their well-being.
In the midst of these changes in climate, the world often forgets to acknowledge that those who are producing most of the pollutants that are harmful to our health and our atmosphere are those farthest away from enduring the consequences of climate change. I cannot stress enough that the poor, and people of color, have always been and will continue to be the first affected and worst affected by natural disasters that are fueled by climate change. An example of this has been widely noted with Hurricane Katrina, a tragedy that displaced almost half a million people. I must emphasize that there are powers who are benefitting from these natural disasters. Naomi Klein, a Canadian journalist, author, and social activist, termed this consequence perfectly as “disaster capitalism.” She says, “some stockpile canned goods and water in preparation for major disasters, [while others] stockpile free-market ideas,” such as privatizing public services and corporate buyouts of low-income housing.
So those of us here probably aren’t looking for the next opportunity to build a beachside resort the next time a typhoon hits (which, by the way, is what happened in the Philippines following the Typhoon Haiyan disaster–and if you’ve been following the news, a similar cycle of exploitation is happening in Puerto Rico), but do consider this: When another natural disaster hits our world, the people who possess the means to do so will simply evacuate and reconstruct it without concern for those whose lives have been uprooted and whose families have been torn apart. However, the communities that were disenfranchised way before a disaster comes along will not have that option, and there are capitalists who bank on that occurrence (pun intended).
In one of my favorite books, Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement, author Robert Hunter writes, “A small group of people, acting imaginatively and nonviolently, can affect the course of events in our global village.” And this is true! Small groups are the seed of any movement! And if that small group is determined to change society to everyone’s benefit, it can make the largest impact!
I am an activist by trade, and by recreation. I volunteer with a group called Science for the People. We’re a group of scientists who, in 1969, were key in debunking the myths surrounding race and genes. Well-known figures like Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin started our organization! Our pamphlet’s title, “The Dual Nature of Science,” which you can find at our booth is inspired by yet another influential scientist, Richard Levins.
We are revamping Science for the People now, in the 21st century, because we believe that Science IS for the People, not for profit! We believe that Science IS for the People, not for war! We work on demilitarizing science, we work on making science accessible, and we work with communities because science is key for policy-making and transparency!
Science for the People works with the Atlanta community to make sure that our city is fueled by 100% clean energy, as the city council has promised in their recent resolution. Our vision for a 100% clean city, and ultimately a carbon-neutral world, is where clean energy develops alongside increased equity. So I urge you all to join us or join another organization that actively helps with this ambitious plan that can make our future more equitable, more sustainable, and more harmonious!
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “it really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.”
My life’s work is centered around justice for the environment and primarily the marginalized communities that have been oppressed, exploited, and constantly overlooked by the structures that, if they chose to, could “save” these communities. But I’ve come to a powerful realization in my years of organizing: we can’t wait around for anything to save us. One of my favorite idioms is, “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” To be clear, I don’t intend to save the world by myself, nor would I suggest that the task be taken on by a single organization, because history has shown us that no movement reaches success by uniform assembly, but rather a diverse collective of shared power and respected values. We have to work alongside our communities, and at the same time, provide them with the tools and support to liberate themselves, as Science for the People is poised to do in this nation and eventually around the world.
After my first Black Lives Matter action and other environmental justice engagements at the United Nations climate talks, I declared to myself–and now to all of you–that I would spark a fire in each person I have the pleasure of meeting; so I want to spark the fire of empowerment in you, and you, and you…I want you all to join a movement and uplift a cause that is outside of yourself, your culture, and your upbringing. Like I said earlier, we all share this earth, and each of you in this audience possesses an invincible power to change the way humans live in it and among each other.
Thanks for listening, y’all.

There is a context to the current attack on science, and science education specifically. The first year Congress actually made specific appropriations for science education was 1958, one year after Sputnik was launched. What’s of note here is that it took the Cold War to motivate our government to take science education seriously. Previously, and historically, science had been the domain of the few and privileged. But that began to change during the 1960s and ‘70s as quality science education became much more accessible and new fields opened up prospects of quality jobs. Then, in the 1990s, the U.S. responded to changes in the global economy by moving toward neoliberalism. Briefly defined, this is a structural readjustment in funding that moves toward privatization of public services in order to bolster the free market. Here’s where you begin to see the push to change the nature of education. In grades K through 12, funding was cut and charters and vouchers were incentivized. In the academy, fewer secure well-paying tenure track positions were available. The academy moved toward adjuncts to bear the teaching load and post-doctoral fellows to crank out data. This data was then used to get grants that could pay for the staff that was needed to get more grants.

Fast forward to the 2008 crisis. Governments of the world bailed out the banks, and the source of that money came from the social safety net. Funding for things like unemployment, infrastructure, and education were all cut. This was austerity, and it only accelerated the attacks on quality public education. According to the American Association of University Professors, the share of adjuncts teaching across higher ed has increased 66 percent in the past four decades. Adjuncts now make up 40 percent of the academic labor force at institutions surveyed, more than all other types of faculty combined. This majority of the academic labor force makes an average of around $20,000 a year. This is one of the ways that universities have coped with historic decreases in funding: a supplementary low wage labor force. And K-12 is even worse. The teacher pay penalty is bigger than ever. In 1994, public school teachers’ weekly wages were 1.8 percent lower than those of comparable workers; now it is approaching 20% lower than other workers. Education, including most types of science education, has been systematically devalued.
Locally, we see this play out in the University System of Georgia in several ways. State funding for public two- and four-year colleges is, nation wide, nearly $9 billion below its 2008 level, after adjusting for inflation. These kinds of cuts increase tuition, impact the Hope education tax credit, increase the adjunct to tenure track ratio, and decrease the support staff for students. This trend underlies the recent mergers between campuses. Georgia Perimeter and Georgia State University, along with many other physically proximal colleges and universities in the state, were combined into a single institution. Part of the stated purpose was to “reduce redundancy.” Why have two Human Resources departments, two Financial Aid departments, when you could have one that works twice as hard? Also, there are examples of science faculty in particular, who have been subject to paying for the underfunding of the USG.
At one local college, faculty who teach labs have recently been informed that they must teach an additional class next year for no additional pay. This amounts to around a 20% wage cut. In the labor movement, this is sometimes called a speed up. This allows the institution to hire fewer adjuncts without reducing incoming tuition. The trend is clear: education in general, and science education, with its equipment and reagents costs, in particular, are a target for the ongoing budget cuts.

So here I am with another FOF. This time it’s nothing special but I’m so proud of my newest accomplishment. Pockets, yes, I did include them in this pattern. So without much ado here’s my newest addition to my working wardrobe. Kwik Sew 3201 using view A pants and view B scrub top. I had cotton in purple solid and print fabrics. I love that this only cost me $12.00 to make instead of what I have been paying. I feel like I have such a wickedly great secret.
Needless to say, I did notice or as some of us would say I had an ah moment while putting the pants together. I will be taking this knowledge and making me some shorts and capris. This will be a quick and easy way to increase the summer wardrobe.
Well, I have to get back to my homework as I have finals next week and need to be on top of my game. I have some other things to share with so I hope to get back here over the weekend. Thanks so much to all of you who have come to include me as a regular read and those that are still trying to see where I’m going. See ya soon.
Here’s some photos to show what I’ve been up to. After these pics I’ll tell you about my frustrations. First up is my youngest girl Ms. Camille in her tropical dress. I did this quickly with the material already cinched at the top and then I added a ruffled edge and straps for modesty sake.
Next we have my first attempt at scrubs for school and Externship made from Kwik Sew Pattern 3201 I have had the top material for at least 4 years or more and then a quick trip to JoAnn’s up the street to match the pants and this is what I came up with.
I did experience some rough spots in the process of making the top. It was the joining together of the front neckband to the V of the top. After a few tries of positioning and then repositioning I got it. Overall, I’m very pleased and already have the second set of scrubs cut out waiting to be pieced together.
I showed you a bolt of fabric that I had been trying to figure out a dress pattern to use to match with a pair of shoes I purchased a few years ago and never could find the right outfit. I ended up using Simplicity 4877 view C for this dress.
This dress did cause me some pain. First in the fact that I had to shorten the waist and then still had to add darts to rid the back of the puckering I get in RTW clothing do to my short but full stature. I meant to have my picture taken wearing this at the wedding I attended but to no avail. I will take one with me in it. BTW, my dress is being modeled by my new dressform Betty B. and I absolutely love her. It made the process so much nicer and now I can really figure my form out and make good use of my planning time before I sit down to sew.
Now on to frustrations……my only one is after sharing all of this I don’t have the time to devote to all the UFO’s that I have. There’s an art to staying on task but this quarter I just can’t seem to find the time. I have four classes and the work load is so overwhelming. We’re in the last 2 weeks of the quarter and I feel as though the floor is giving way and I’m falling through. Don’t get me wrong, there’s really a true level of excitement going on for me right now as this is my last quarter before going on my Extern-ship in July.
I don’t know how soon I’ll be back with you to share what I’ve been up to so here’s just a brief peak into what I have planned NewLook 6700 and 6674 both are summer dresses. Well, until next time happy crafting. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T06:21:42Z', 'url': 'https://knitgirlll06.wordpress.com/2008/06/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

Everything I do comes from a Soul Calling. I´ve never followed the crowds – not in my professional life and certainly not in my personal life. I create, and chase, my own Dragons. Some times, I kiss them upon meeting them; more often than not, I kill them. They´re mine – born of my gut – and nobody else´s.
Getting back, again and again, to the book(s) I´ve been working on the last 2 years is one of those Soul Callings nobody could predict or instill in me. I don´t do it as a strategy to expand my career or to surprise the public. I do it because I have to. Period. Anyone who was born an Artist – not a businessman/woman but an Artist – will know exactly what I mean.
Sitting for hours, with no apparent end, to write volumes of words I´m not sure anyone will ever read is crazy. I agree. I´m a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer working in that field, and travelling the world for it, full time. Why on earth would I take productive time of my dance career to work on a craft I know so little of? A craft that doesn´t pay bills; promises nothing and delivers nothing, for the moment, except an immense – solitary – fulfillment?
Obsession. Mission. Madness. Love. Call it what you may.
All I know is Life is an adventure and, despite the sacrifices and the hard work involved, doing what we feel we must do is the biggest and, probably most noble, form of success. And Happiness – ah, that too!
Don´t follow other people´s dreams – that´s too small, boring and bellow your unique potential. Take a moment to ask yourself WHERE is your dream. Believe in it(you). And then, by God, work your a$%4# off to make it happen. Stop when you´re finished, not before. Not a second before. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T02:48:20Z', 'url': 'https://joanasaahirahworld.com/2017/01/22/joana-and-the-dragon/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Taliban not ready to oblige Pakistan on TTP: Report
Islamabad [Pakistan], January 13 (ANI): The Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in mid- August last year, are not ready to accept the demands of Pakistan of curbing the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in return to the favour done by Islamabad in facilitating their return to power in the strife-torn country.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is using Afghan territory as safe haven to wreak havoc in Pakistan causing an estimated 83,000 casualties across Pakistan, Al Arabiya post reported.
Stressing that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is a "test case" for the Afghan Taliban, Islamabad has said that if the new rulers in Kabul cannot address Pakistan's concerns then how can they with their promise of cutting ties to al Qaeda and other such groups earn the trust of other countries?, it reported.
Islamabad believed that tackling the banned TTP group would help the interim government establish its credentials in the eyes of the world with regards to dealing with other terrorist outfits, reported The Express Tribune citing a senior Pakistani official as saying.
"We are telling the Taliban leadership to consider the TTP as a test case," the official familiar with the development said, emphasising that if the Taliban can not address concerns of Pakistan then who would trust them and their promise of cutting ties to al Qaeda and other such groups.
The Pakistani official also warned the Taliban that not addressing Islamabad's concerns will be damaging to the Afghan side.
It comes after the Afghan Taliban have failed to address the issue of the TTP (Pakistani Taliban) raised by Pakistan.
Afghan Taliban backs TTP, the proscribed group in Pakistan which has been behind several terror attacks in the country including the Peshawar Army School attack which killed over a hundred children in 2014.
