Manchester's beloved Whitworth Art Gallery changed much?
Having been temporarily shut for 16 months, owing to a £15m overhaul project, Manchester's much-loved Whitworth Art Gallery reopened to the public on Valentine's Day with a nuanced "Fall in love again" message.
The run-up to the Oxford Road gallery's reopening gathered interest, not only in the city but around the North West of the country, as the loudly advertised "explosive return" pulled in visitors from across the country. The collaboration between commissioned artist Cornelia Parker and co-creator of graphene, Kostya Novoselov, brought about a meteor shower in tribute to artist and poet William Blake, whose prints are in the gallery's permanent collection.
As doors opened at 10am, a sizeable queue had stretched towards the main gate of the gallery; much to the dismay of some visitors as an anti-austerity rally was reverberating its chants via a megaphone across the street. Thousands still waited, as many were keen to see the 10 new exhibitions and curator talks – a list embellished with eminent speakers like Manchester-born writer Jeanette Winterson.
After eventually being ushered in – 'Fall in love again' pamphlet in hand – visitors walked into a space that was understandably heaving, as crowds of people moved together, broke away then rejoined again like sea-waves.
The gallery's new design by architects Muma (McInnes Usher McKnight) uses grand glass and steel wings in the flamboyant spirit of the Victorian original, to bring more light inside and to create a flow between nature and art. "Victorians weren't afraid of showing off", Winterson later said in her speech about the gallery's exhilarating and glitzy architectural transformation.
Perhaps the most poignant element of Winterson's speech in the Grand Hall of the building was that, "This is the first gallery in England that was put in a park, and that brings us to the interesting idea that the Victorians didn't even question – the healing and therapeutic effect of art and nature together". It contrasted sharply against the ever-growing threat from corporate Britain to industrialise and commercialise cities as opposed to creating spaces that make people feel 'human' again. Winterson said the gallery is a place where the soul is both "renewed and revived".
"Despite the huge crowds, I managed to get a view of most of the art. It was not the art that actually inspired me today. It was the opening speech [Winterson]. The correlation of art and nature combined, and the connection that both art and nature have with our souls. I am a huge fan of art therapy (my own line drawings); so that was quite touching to hear. I would definitely recommend going at a quieter period" artist Asma Jadakara from Bolton told TNT, having visited the gallery on its opening day
Maria Balshaw, director of the Whitworth said, "People round here don't have fancy houses. Often they have no outside space that isn't public space. The Victorians understood that and so should we".
What became apparent, however, in many of the responses from people leaving the gallery on the opening day were the "disappointed", "disillusioned" and "uninspired" reactions to the art exhibited. One visitor told TNT that, "Some of Parker's art is uninspired and although fits well with contemporary art it is far from 'real'. Some of the other art had just vacation photos in Greece. The way the exhibits are arranged doesn't do any favours to the visitor either. It's a shame because the new space itself is fantastic".
In any case, the Whitworth is back with a fresh new look, more entrances for art pieces into the building, a 'cafe in the trees' and most of all it is still free entry. The opening day may not have brought about rave reviews but the makeover is a timely in a climate riddled with increased irritations and frantic jostle of daily living. The gallery offers a space to be human again; a place that aids you to shut out all that tirelessly works to prevent you from feeling.
Earlier on in her speech, Winterson joked, "If you look around you'll find that there are a lot of like-minded people [here today]; this is better than match.com. We are a social species. [This] is public money well-spent", as she alluded to three points; the gallery's opening coinciding with Valentine's Day, the 'Fall in love again' theme, and the unique encouragement of intimate dialogue in such spaces.

Captain's Quarters has a post about Cuba, specifically the treatment of political prisoners there. Just to remove any doubt before I start, let me quote a little of the final paragraph with approval:
We can differ on how best to improve the lot of the Cuban people and prepare for the post-Castro era, but let no one be fooled into thinking that the ruling junta is anything other than a brutal, oppressive, and inhumane regime.
What he's talking about is this quoted material:
Four dissidents freed this week after five years in inhumane conditions in a Cuban prison have revealed the dark side of Fidel Castro's regime.
The four – José Gabriel Ramón Castillo, Omar Pernet Hernández, Alejandro González and Pedro Pablo Álvarez – described regular beatings, humiliation and arbitrary punishment with long periods of solitary confinement in cramped cells with cement beds.
Mr Castillo, 50, a journalist who wrote articles critical of the regime, told The Sunday Telegraph: "It was terrible. It was like being in a desert in which sometimes there is no water, there is no food, you are tortured and you are abused.
"This was not torture in the textbook way with electric prods, but it was cruel and degrading. They would beat you for no reason even when you were in hospital.
"At other times they would search you for no reason, stripping you bare and humiliating you. There was one particular commander at a jail in Santa Clara who seemed to take delight in handing out beatings to the prisoners."
If I look back on the last 8 years and find one thing that saddens me more than anything else, it might just be this: When I moved to America such barbarism would have been disgusting; now it's only the target of the barbarism that we can legitimately rail against.

It's official: Chevrolet dropping slow-selling SS model
At Monday's press day for the opening of the North American International Automobile Show, Chevrolet made it official that it would discontinue the slow-selling SS sedan after the 2017 model year.
Although the V-8-powered, rear-wheel-drive SS sedan was well-received critically, GM sold just 3,013 SS sedans in all of 2016, compared with sales of 97,006 Impalas and 227,881 Malibu models, the other two family-sized sedans in the Chevrolet lineup.
Chevrolet has raced the SS in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series since 2013 and will continue to race it again this year.
Jim Campbell, Chevrolet's racing boss, said in a statement Monday that the automaker is not ready to introduce the successor to the SS.
"It was already known that the Chevrolet SS was going to be discontinued in 2017," said Campbell. "That information was originally announced last summer. As you know, we don't talk about future projects. We'll make any announcement regarding our next Cup entry at the appropriate time."
Given that the Impala and Malibu are the only other large sedans in Chevrolet's lineup, it would be a shock if one of them isn't picked to succeed the SS on NASCAR tracks in 2018.

AgustaWestland has now delivered 48 of the 62 AW159 Wildcat helicopters ordered for the British Army and Royal Navy. The latter service is to receive 28 of them and is working hard to bring the fleet into service following a formal release to service in April 2013 and the declaration of initial operating capability this January.
In March, a naval Wildcat HMA.2 set off on its first deployment with a flight from 815 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) embarked in the Type 23 frigate HMS Lancaster.
Now well into its nine-month deployment, which has seen it undertake operations in the Caribbean and South Atlantic, the Wildcat flight is reporting 100 per cent serviceability from its new aircraft.
In the summer, a Wildcat HMA.2 was transported to Bahrain to embark on the Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan for ship helicopter operating limits trials in a hot environment. Training is underway with 825 NAS at Yeovilton, and later this year the AH.1 Army variant of Wildcat will deploy aboard HMS Ocean with 847 NAS.
For the Royal Navy, the Wildcat represents a major uplift in capability from the Lynx HMA.8 it is replacing in the small ships flights. The sensor suite is significantly upgraded, with an L-3 Wescam MX-15Di electro-optical turret and Selex ES Seaspray 7400E radar.
The latter is an e-scan unit that can operate in numerous modes, including surface search, ISAR imaging for identifying targets at up to 80 nautical miles, SAR for ground mapping and weather reconnaissance. The radar has moving target indication out to a range of 25 nautical miles against air, sea and land targets, greatly enhancing its ability to track and monitor surface targets, as well as giving it a measure of air surveillance capability.
Seaspray 7400E has greatly reduced maintenance requirements over the Lynx HMA.8's radar, while greatly expanding operational capability. The rotating e-scan array requires just three rotations to establish initial surface contacts, and in 90 seconds can build a complete maritime picture with headings and velocities. It can track up to 100 targets, and has the capability to spot targets as small as a human head.
Given that the Wildcat is expected to operate at times in hostile environments, the helicopter is fitted with the Selex ES HIDAS (helicopter integrated defensive aids system) 15. This is a variant of the system installed in British Army Apaches, and comprises a Sky Guardian radar warning receiver, AAR-57 missile warning system and Vicon 78 countermeasures.
A range of weapons is available to the Wildcat HMA.2, carried on four hardpoints.
Two Stingray torpedoes can be carried or two depth charges. For surface attack, the Wildcat is intended to carry up to four passive IR-guided MBDA Sea Venom missiles, or the Thales Martlet laser beam-riding missile. Each of the four weapon stations can carry five-round launchers for the Martlet, giving a maximum of 20 missiles. This weapon is of particular use in the defence against swarming fast inshore attack craft threats. Sea Venom and Martlet are expected to achieve initial operational capability around 2018-19.
On the export front, the AW159 has been sold to the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), which has ordered eight. AgustaWestland is on track with the delivery schedule, and expects to hand over the first batch of four by the end of the year, with the remainder to follow in the first half of 2016.

If you had a million dollars, would you spend it on faster internet?
Faster internet can be just a pipe dream for people who live outside the Ely city limits. Speeds as slow as dial-up are all too common meaning services like Netflix and Hulu are not even a possibility.
Pointing fingers at Frontier and Midcontinent for not better servicing Ely's rural areas has not led to any solutions. There were high hopes for Lake Connections to fill the gap, but that system is in turmoil right now.
So, we're back to local governments stepping in to provide the infrastructure needed. If you're a local taxpayer, be it in a city or township, should your elected officials spend tax dollars on bringing faster internet to your house?
Increasingly that answer is becoming: yes.
Even a township supervisor said he was tired of snail's pace internet that he was making a leap of faith in hopes that Lake Connections could hook him up.
The Lake County administrator has said he spends the majority of his time these days trying to get the county out of the internet business. Lake Connections has not lived up to what the county board hoped - and now they want out. Throw in the lawsuit the county got dragged into from a contractor hired by Lake Connections and you can understand the board's frustrations.
In the Ely area our elected officials can learn from the mistakes made in Lake County as a course is plotted to bring us in line with what people in metropolitan areas take for granted. If you live or work in Ely you have two choices for internet, Frontier and Midcontinent. But if you live out of town, it's Frontier or nothing. While the company has shown signs of improvement, the lack of a plan to solve major internet slowdowns is maddening.
We know Ely has fiber lines that can be used. We've seen enough orange conduit buried that there must be a way to get off dead center and hook all of us up to the digital superhighway. We'd just like to see that happen in our lifetimes.
The Ely Area Broadband Coalition is the best thing we've got going on that front. City, township and school district officials have been joined by private citizens to work together for a common cause. The solution that is actually put in place may or may not be on the table today, but we believe this coalition is the right vehicle to get us there.

Since 2005, Midwest Vacuums has been owned and operated by Sarah DeGondea. In the beginning, the business started out as a central vacuum only business which was named "Plugged In". Since that point in time, we have acquired vacuum stores and grew the business to include upright & canister vacuums, cleaning essentials and then later changed the name to "Midwest Vacuums".
As talented as Sarah is, she couldn't go it alone without the help from her tenured retail team; Jim is responsible for anything central vacuum related, along with inside sales & repairs, Meg is responsible for the Lee's Summit location and Joe is responsible for the Waldo location along with Don who handles all the service for your vacuums.
Ironically enough we want earn your business, but we also realize that there are many places to purchase vacuums today both locally in the Kansas City market and nationally on-line. Sadly most of those same places don't repair vacuums, nor do they carry the parts. This is why we stock over 100 different types of replacement belts and bags for vacuums. We also service the most popular bag-less vacuums that you see on TV.
The vacuum brands and cleaning essentials that we carry in our stores you won't find in typical department stores, these products are usually exclusive to speciality stores like ours. When you are ready, stop into one of our stores and let one of our associates explain and then demonstrate the difference between brands or products you are concerned about. Please remember this is what we do 100% of the time and when you are ready to make that purchase keep in mind:
We price match guarantee
We provide free loaner vacuums
We extend the manufacturer's warranty
We offer free carpet cleaner rentals

Unfortunately, yes. However, any currency, digital or Fiat, can be and probably is used by criminals. In February 2011, a website was launched called Silk Road run by Dread Pirate Roberts (not his real name). The site was shut down by the FBI in October 2013. In November 2014, the FBI shut down another website called Silk Road 2.0. On both websites, you could only use Bitcoin to transact.
Do criminals use digital currencies?

All Issues > Volume 36, Issue 2
The Pharisee's prayer was not pleasing to the Lord because he was not humble. One sign of lacking humility is to compare ourselves with others. "The Pharisee with head unbowed prayed in this fashion: 'I give You thanks, O God, that I am not like the rest of men — grasping, crooked, adulterous — or even like this tax collector' " (Lk 18:11).
It is obvious that to put others down to make ourselves look better is a comparison steeped in pride. However, it is also contrary to humility to compare ourselves unfavorably to others. To think that we aren't as good as someone else is not focusing on our God-given uniqueness, is not seeing ourselves the way the Lord wants us to see ourselves, and is not being humble. Humility is not humiliation. "With humility, have self-esteem; prize yourself as you deserve" (Sir 10:27). Humility is to see ourselves as utterly dependent on God and as redeemed, chosen, precious, priestly, and royal (see 1 Pt 2:9). Therefore, neither favorable nor unfavorable comparisons of ourselves with others are in accord with humility.
Throughout the Lenten season and especially in Holy Week, we focus on the Passion and death of Jesus. Our meditation on the crucified Christ must not make us hate ourselves for sharing through our sins in such a despicable crime. Our focus on Christ crucified should fill us with thanksgiving that we are so loved and with awe that we are considered so precious by the Lord.
Humble yourself to love yourself.

Revision as of 11:09, 29 March 2014
On 14 August 1888 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Oliver B. Shallenberger received a patent for the watt-hour meter, a device that measured the amount of AC current and made possible the business model of the electric utility.
Shallenberger was a former naval officer hired by the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. By 1888, he rose to the power of its chief electrician. Westinghouse was fighting the "War of the Currents" in the 1880s against Thomas Edison. Westinghouse, which had purchased the rights to Nikola Tesla's polyphase system, was trying to expand the reach of alternating current (AC) in American homes. Edison's system of direct current (DC) was the American standard at the time, but it was less practical for residential use.
For example, Edison failed to develop a simple means of measuring how much power a consumer had used. Initially, he charged per lamp, but soon switched to a chemical method to measure amperes per hour. He installed an jar containing two zinc plates submerged in a zinc-sulfate electrolyte. As electricity flowed through the jar, it dissolved zinc off the positive plate and onto the negative one. Each month, workers checked to see how much zinc had moved. Edison actually preferred this messy and time-consuming process to a mechanical method, but its accuracy was questionable.
Working on applications for AC power, Shallenberger stumbled onto a solution for the problem of metering. As he was tinkering with a lamp in 1888, a spring fell out and fell on a ledge inside the lamp. He saw that the spring had rotated. Testing a hunch, he discovered that the lamp's spinning electromagnetic fields had caused the spring to turn. Within a few weeks, Shallenberger designed a wheel that turned in relation to this rotational force, offering a means of measuring amperes per hour on an alternating current circuit.
Hundreds of thousands of these meters were built in the coming decades, allowing AC power to take off as an everyday consumer technology. Shallenberger's basic design remains in use today. Because these meters operated on electrical current's induced magnetic field, they consumed virtually no power. Consumers could feel more confident that they were only being charged for the power they used, and could more accurately monitor their consumption.

We hadn't dealt with using weapons and spells from horseback thus far in the campaign, and I was ill-prepared to adjudicate this during the skirmish with the wargs. The 2e DMG discusses mounted combat in detail; below are some of the key points. From p. 76:
Mounts trained for combat (a heavy warhorse, for example) present few problems. These can be used in mounted combat with no penalties. However, steeds not trained for combat are easily frightened by the noise and confusion.The horses purchased in Luskan are riding horses only, so going forward this -2 penalty will apply. With regards to melee combat:
Those fighting from the back of untrained creatures suffer a -2 on their chance to hit, since much of their time is spent simply trying to keep the mount under control.
In mounted fighting, a character gets a +1 bonus to his chance to hit creatures smaller than his mount. Thus, a man on horseback gains a +1 bonus to his attack rolls against all medium-sized creatures such as other men, but would not gain this bonus against another rider or a giant. Those on foot who fight against a mounted rider, have a -1 penalty; this not applied to attacks against the mount, however.This would have reduced the first penalty to -1, since the wargs were medium-sized creatures. The wargs wouldn't have incurred a penalty, since they were attacking mounts or dismounted PCs. Missile combat, understandably, is more difficult:
Missile fire from the back of a moving horse is possible only if the rider is proficient in horsemanship. Even then, only short bows, composite short bows, and light crossbows can be fired from horseback by normally proficient characters.There are details beyond this, including penalties if trying to fire while the mount is moving, but let's leave it here until that situation arises. We don't use proficiencies, but I'll allow short bows and light crossbows to be fired by PCs succeeding a Dexterity check, with failure meaning that the round is lost trying to control the mount (with no ammunition expended). Spellcasting can work similarly. Fair?
Long bows can be used by those with specialization (if this is used). Heavy crossbows can be fired once, but cannot be reloaded by a mounted man since the bracing and pull is inadequate.
I also was too liberal in causing characters to fall from their horses in combat, some of which I corrected during the session. Even Aranos' fall, however, shouldn't have happened, by the book. Here are the relevant excerpts:
Killing the Mount: This is the grim and efficient method. Once the horse (often an easier target) is dead, the rider is certainly dismounted. The steed automatically falls to the ground.Again in the absence of proficiencies, a Dexterity check should suffice to avoid taking damage from a fall. Aside from killing the steed, an attack roll of 20 will dismount a rider, but a "normal" hit against either party will not:
If the rider has the Riding proficiency, he can attempt to land safely on his feet on a successful check. Otherwise, the character also falls to the ground and suffers 1d3 points of damage. The character cannot take any action that round and must spend another entire round gathering himself back up and getting to his feet.
Weapon Impact: Riders also can be knocked off by solid blows from a variety of weapons. Any time a rider hits another mounted character or creature with a melee weapon 3' or longer and scores a natural 20 on the roll, the other character is knocked from the saddle, suffering 1d3 points of damage (if from the back of a normal horse).There's a lot here to digest, and more in the actual rulebook. I turned out to be a bit harsh in my rulings, but should be better equipped to deal with this next time.

Susan Neiman's marvellously engaging text wrestles with some of the
most troubling ideas in modern thought, indeed in modern history. What can be
said about the nature of evil, and do the answers to that question leave us
even more bereft than before?
It has become epigrammatic that evil is banal, but if so, what does
that say about all of us, about any of us?
We concur that since Auschwitz no poetry can be written, but what does
say for our future?
We are told that there is an axis of evil out there bent on destroying
the civilized free world, fuelled by hatred of those who love freedom, but what
blind spots does this cover up?
For Neiman the best place to seek solace for these problems is in
history; specifically in the history of philosophy for it is in philosophy that
we begin to truly articulate who we are, who we would like to be and who we
think we should be.
She argues that by using evil as an organizing principle it becomes
possible to understand the debate, the dilemma posed by reason, of what it is
to be human. Evil, despite its religious connotations, is not necessarily a
religious concept. It is, as Neiman puts it, "fundamentally about the
intelligibility of the world as a whole
it belongs neither to ethics nor to
metaphysics, but forms a link between the two". Thus, it is at the very
core of the personal and the social, the moral and the natural, ourselves and
the world.
The book is organized both thematically and historically and
contextualises the changing notions of evil, responsibility, action and
reaction in broad but convincing sketches of the political, social and moral
climates of the times. These twin themes underpin the books structure, and flow
into and intersect one another.
Neiman is mainly concerned with modern thought, and by that means the
Enlightenment and its successors. She does not venture much into classical
metaphysics or ethics, not into theology as such. Her concern is with the
relationship with the modern world, give or take a little bit, and begins with
the publication of Bayle's Dictionary in 1697. She continues to the
present and locates the text very firmly in the contemporary age with September
11th. It is this, in no small degree, that makes this book so
important. Neiman argues passionately about the continued and continuing
relevance of philosophical discourse. We have not reached the end of history,
and it is arrogant nonsense to suggest that we have.
At each point we make ourselves anew and must see ourselves in, within
and as a consequence historical process. This is why Neiman believes that there
is very little more important than this. If you don't know your history, you
cannot know who you are. If you do not know who you are, you cannot know where
you are going.
The book cover, not by coincidence alone, carries an illustration of Goya's
well known etching, "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters". Having
read the book we may be forced to ask what monsters reason produces when it is
awake. They might be even scarier. One feels that Neiman would be concerned
about action without responsibility and would certainly counsel us to be
careful what we wish for.
This is an extremely erudite, learned and eloquent book that will
appeal to professional philosophers and academics. It is also elegant,
persuasive and generous and will appeal to the more general reader. It is
well-referenced and scholarly enough to be debated earnestly. It is direct and
engaging enough to contemplated seriously. It is to be recommended. It will
become a seminal text.

1. Does ARod's hip concerns push him out of the 6 to be drafted?
2. Who do you take first, Utley or Kinsler? Both strike me as being injury risks but the payoff on either can be substantial.
3. Should I be worried about the health of Brandon Webb (got shelled in ST yesterday after struggling a touch in the second half last year) and Cole Hamels (extended season with the World Series victory).
4. Will Jake Peavy get than 12 wins.
5. Who's the best bet to bounce back to supremacy - Josh Beckett or John Lackey
6. Do you reach for Rollins in the late 1st early 2nd, or wait for one of the second tier options in round 8 or 9?
7. Who is the best 3rd tier 2b to perform at a 2nd tier level: Jose Lopez, Kelly Johnson, Robinson Cano, other?
8. Is Hideki Matsui primed for a rebound year or is he just too beat up?

Spurs' Tim Duncan must rebound from poor effort to stave off Thunder

Who Else Wants Career Success? Follow This Proven Method
Guest articles > Who Else Wants Career Success? Follow This Proven Method
by: Andrew Rondeau
If you want to climb the career ladder...you must have a 'network'. Try these ideas and get noticed!
Sometimes it's not what you know but who you know that matters.
The difference between 'getting by' at work and having a successful career is not solely dependent on technical skills or knowledge. We all know colleagues who have strong 'people skills' and not the strongest technical abilities but who nonetheless possess a distinct position of leverage or influence at work. These individuals are focusing on their strengths and use the power of interpersonal skills and networking to their advantage. If you want to climb the career ladder, you should too! And you can.
One should never underestimate the power of influence gained through networking. The expansiveness and quality of one's social and professional networks can significantly enhance career potential. How can one go about building a supportive network? This article will explore two practical and simple ways that, when used strategically will yield the results you want to achieve.
The first things to do are collect and organise the business cards from the people you meet so that you have their contact information. Obviously collecting cards is just the first step. Find reasons to send contacts an email, call for advice or to give some information related to their interests. Don't do so incessantly, but regularly - once a week or biweekly is appropriate. It generally depends on the significance of your reason to contact them and their past receptiveness. Take the time to research their company website so you can make relevant connections and based on 'inside track' information of what's important to them.
Keep in mind that just as it is sometimes awkward to reconnect with old friends or acquaintances after a period of not seeing one another, the same is true in regards to building a network. The longer you are out of touch with business associates the more difficult it is to reconnect and get 'back in the loop'. To help you make this a consistent priority, be strategic about your contacts - jot down regular reminders in a planner or electronic organiser so that you don't leave your connections to chance.
Another way to expand and strengthen your network is to invite contacts to an informal gathering or information session that you organise about topics of general or mutual interest. You may facilitate the discussion yourself or bring in a speaker. You could arrange such meetings at a local coffee shop or restaurant - many will set aside a meeting room upon request. On the invitation - whether it be by email, fax or regular mail - outline the proposed agenda and indicate that 'coffee or tea is provided - other menu items are at the cost of participants" - unless of course you are able and willing to cover the entire bill! This can be a relatively low-cost way of meeting with contacts and sharing ideas.
This intentional way of meeting your contacts on a regular basis strengthens not only the relationship you have with each of them, but also allows for your contacts to meet one another - an opportunity for which they will be grateful. Such efforts are similar to making an investment that you hope will grow at the opportune time.
These two ways of building your network - regularly connecting with contacts and organising meetings or discussion forums are simple yet effective career-enhancers. Give them a try and get noticed at work!

Protests in Romania
There's a lot of worrying things happening in many EU member states that I've been ignoring in hopes that issues would resolve themselves and – after Brexit – I felt a certain reluctance to talk about things that didn't show the union in a good light.
It's 2018 and I'm done with that.
I don't know enough to comment on the situation in Romania myself. Also I'm sick in bed with some cold or something. But I want to stand up and say "This is going on and it's not right." and also to applaud the Romanian people for their protests.
On a side note: I don't think federalising the EU is a good idea. I don't think it will create a more harmonious or efficient EU. I think what will make the EU more harmonious is if the people unite and stand together when our rights or the principles of justice are being ignored – or worse denied. Regardless of where the abuse of power is happening if we can stand up with each other and denounce it – maybe things could be a lot better. Everywhere.
What's happening in Romania?
The PSD is the governing party in Romania. Liviu Dragnea is the head of the party but is barred from being Prime Minister because of a conviction for ballot-rigging that led to a two-year suspended prison sentence. He also faces charges of abuse of office and of defrauding the state of €24,000.
February 2017
Over two weeks of huge daily protests are mounted by the Romanian people against proposed legislation that would, among other things, decriminalise bribery when it involves amounts less than €44,000.
euronews – Very brief run through of what led to the protests & comments by protestors themselves
euronews – President Klaus Iohannis criticising the government's attempts to decriminalise bribery and facilitate corruption
Al Jazeera English – A more in-depth look at the situation
The Guardian – The government withdrew the controversial legislation following the massive protests.
May 2017
The government tried to pass legislation to give pardons to politicians convicted on charges of corruption. The people protested and the legislation was blocked.
MSNBC – Brief run through of the situation, Romania bit finishes at 7:30
Article in the NYT about the proposed measures being dropped.
November 2017 & onwards
The government proposes laws that many see as giving politicians undue power over the judiciary and the anti-corruption agency, DNA.
The government's opponents claim that under the draft laws now being considered in parliament, the powers of the respected anti-corruption directorate, the DNA, would be reduced, with the justice ministry able to name head prosecutors.
The judicial inspection body that investigates the work of judges would also come under the control of the minister of justice. A new structure staffed by prosecutors is being devised to investigate criminal acts committed by magistrates.
Reuters | Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty – People take to the streets in protest
euronews – Romania's lower house approves controversial judicial reforms
euronews – Romanian judges protest over government-backed legal reforms
The legislation proposed in November which many argue is destroying the separation of powers was passed and another bill is now on the table which would lead to the case of abuse of office against Liviu Dragnea being dropped.
The people are once more taking to the streets in these freezing temperatures to protest and there are protests planned for today.
Politics aside, I haven't been to Romania yet and really want to go. It's supposed to be gorgeous. And here is a video from TheLifeofJord about his experience of living in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
Jan 20, 2018
Here's a link to a euronews report on today's protest. One of the protestors explains that Liviu Dragnea, while certainly part of the problem, isn't the sole concern, that it's more a case of a group of people in power who don't seem to have respect for the rule of law and are doing all they can to undermine it.
As I said above I don't know enough about the situation to comment myself. But I am going to highlight what's going on because it's one way of staying informed myself and I do think, in Europe – and throughout the world really, us ordinary people need to show more solidarity with each other.

Happy April
Hi everyone. Its a new month, aand a new dawn for Nigeria….Buhari/APC was declared as the president elect and GEJ has conceded defeat. In terms of peace, this is good for all. In terms of our daily lives, not much is going to change off the top and even if it does, change does take time.
A few things i learnt from the elections
1. Never take people for granted. He who you ignored might be the one to determine you fate further down. PDP took Nigerians for granted on the whole and they are licking their wounds.
2. Some promises will be just that, promises. Many people have shouted change, but i am waiting to see the change. Half of APC is former PDP. change also doesnt happen overnight. Also given the clime in Nigeria, change is a bit far..just the operating environment is a mess.
3. Nigerians are not sleeping dogs. Any other elections contested after this is simply by the people. We have tasted to a certain amount the power of the collective and going forward will insist on it.
4. Failure is part of the journey to success. Madness is often repeating the same stunt over and over again, however when it yields success the madness now becomes success. Buhari did it on the fourth try. I am sure his wife and family were tired of his stunts. Have you bee trying to do the same thing for the last few years and no result or minimal result? I am laughing because i am currently in this position with my school. So you see some days i am confused, some days i am convinced, some days i feel defeated. Some days when people say "oh i thougt you were starting a school" and almost 2 years since my initial declaration i have nothing but a room full of childrens furniture to show for it, i am embarrassed to say i am working on 2016. As crazy as it sounds, i have simply stopped thinking about what to tell people. And i just keep facing my front, my thought process is, it will happen. When exactly? Only God knows.
5. I learnt Nigerians are still very much attached to religion and ethnicity. When PDP complained about the Northern states results and the South East and South South produced similar results i simply laughed. Does it mean the Yorubas are the least partisan ethnic group? In no one Yoruba state was the difference in APC vs PDP votes enough to create a new country – all less than a 300 thousand difference.
6. As an applied mathematician i would like to see the actual results based on demographics. Male/ female, income levels etc. It will eliminate a lot of bad planning and misappropriation of funding.
7. Electronic voting is the way forward for 2019. We dont want any paper ballots. Electronic voting can help us gather good information on everything about the adult population of this country…we dont need PVCs, all we need are state level ID cards with our version of social security numbers etc.
I congratulate all my fellow Nigerians on the victory – not of APC, but of our voices as a collective. No longer will politicians deprive us of our basic rights and assume that giving us indomie, gala and rice will make us vote a certain way after they have violated our fundamental rights.

text: Together with The Palestinian Medical Relief Society, we administer the Edward Said Musical Kindergarten. Barenboim-Said Ramallah implements the music program, "Education through Music", at the school whose aim is to identify musical talent at an early age. The KG currently has 46 students between the ages of 3-5. Every week the children receive 90 minutes of music instruction. They are taught to sing and to explore with musical instruments. The purpose of this is to lay the foundation for musical expression. Teachers are specifically trained to identify talent by observing the children during the sessions and ultimately encouraging them to learn to play an instrument.


text: The day runs out in rivulets towards the endless dark seas of a world turning. We are so used to movement, to our perpetual motion, that I wonder what a jolt it would be if the world stopped. If all became static, and the leaves tumbled, drowning, into the darkness, or crumbled, scorched arthritic by an immortal sun. I wonder if the halt would jar us all forward, each stumbling into another place, falling towards a hard thin horizon. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine myself moving through space, though my limbs are quiet in the burgeoning twilight. I imagine the curve of light as it wraps loving golden, coyly dancing with its gravity lover. I imagine standing on the apex of it all and watching time accelerate before and after this one still point that releases me, dissolving into motion.

Recently, the Securities and Insurance Licensing Association (SILA) held its National Educational Conference in Denver, Colorado. SILA is a fantastic organization dedicated to the insurance licensing world. If you are involved in licensing matters for insurance agents, securities brokers, broker/dealers, TPA's, appraisers, or adjusters, SILA can assist with any questions or concerns that arise.
In addition to licensing professionals, insurance regulators from many states attend the conference. Sessions are held to review upcoming changes. One of the most important changes relates to Florida and the license types it issues. Florida announced they have reduced the types of licenses issued from 24 to 2. Most importantly, they will no longer differentiate between an Independent Adjuster and a Company Adjuster.
Why is this so important? In order for an adjuster to be eligible to work claims in the state of Florida they must hold an appointment. There are two types of appointments, a self-appointment or a company appointment. In the past, if an adjuster held a company license, he or she could only be appointed by a company. If the adjuster opted to leave the company and decide to work as an independent adjuster, the only way they could be appointed was to change their license type to an independent adjuster versus a company adjuster. This involved resubmitting their application to the state. Adjusting firms were not able to appoint an adjuster who held a company license and the adjuster themselves could not do a self-appointment.
With the change that took effect on October 1, 2012, firms, companies and individuals are able to appoint regardless of the type of license held. The state intends to change all adjusters over to a simple "Adjuster" license. No more Company Adjuster or Independent Adjuster. The adjusters will no longer need to change the type of license they hold in order to be eligible for an appointment, regardless of who does the appointing.
For more information on Florida licensing and appointments, visit their website at http://www.floir.com/ and click on Agents/Agency Services. This will take you to the Licensing and Compliance section where you can find information regarding MyProfile, Continuing Education Information, forms, eAppoint and much more.
For more information on SILA you can visit their website at http://www.sila.org. The website gives information on how you can join the association. If you are a company or firm handling your own licensing in-house, SILA is a valuable tool to assist you in staying current with all the industry changes. States release Regulatory Announcements to SILA and they are posted on their website. However, these announcements are only available to members.
