Legendary Filmmaker Oliver Stone Joins Growing Coalition for a Labor-Based Party
Washington, D.C. — Hollywood icon Oliver Stone has endorsed the Labor-Community Campaign for an Independent Party, the first large-scale initiative to build a political party that unites labor and the left since the 1990's.
Launched in the fall of 2018, the campaign has grown to 14 unions and organizations representing more than 100,000 members, plus AFL-CIO executive council members, union presidents, and progressive luminaries. Oliver Stone joins Dr. Cornel West, Chris Hedges, Abby Martin and dozens of other thought leaders supporting the campaign.
The three-time Oscar winning writer and director has produced American classics such as Platoon, Wall Street, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July, and the Untold History of the United States. His films have won a remarkable 22 Golden Globes and 14 Academy Awards, making him one of the most celebrated filmmakers of all time.
Stone was deployed to fight in the Vietnam War at the age of 21. He returned with a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, and memories that have driven a lifetime of thought-provoking work that questions the justness of American empire.
"In the 13 wars we've started, and the $14 trillion we've spent, and the hundreds of thousands of lives that have perished from this Earth in the last 30 years—remember that it wasn't one leader, but a system, both Republican and Democrat… In the end, it has become a system leading to the death of this planet and the extinction of us all," Stone wrote in The Nation in 2017.
The past three weeks have been a stark reminder that the Democratic and Republican parties do not speak for working people. Nancy Pelosi was reelected as Speaker of the House, with the support of every newly-elected progressive Democrat. The party reduced the much-anticipated Green New Deal Committee to a public relations stunt, stripping it of the power to pass bills or subpoena speakers and packing it with Democrats who take fossil fuel money.
The handful of freshmen progressives voted to dismantle their own agendas by supporting PayGo on their first day in Congress. All but three House Democrats voted in favor of the PayGo rules package that makes progressive legislation including Medicare for all, free public college, and a federal jobs guarantee impossible to pass.
These actions reveal that, as Stone says, the problems with the establishment parties are systemic. Working people cannot revolutionize the country by electing progressives into a Democratic machine that quickly absorbs them, and has for decades. It will take a new party, free of corrupting corporate influence, to deliver the wholesale systemic change that working people need. That is why a majority of Americans are calling for one and that is why we are building it.

Kathy Lin's internship at the Environmental Defense Fund taught her about climate change's impact on local fishing communities. "Our goal was to help these communities become more resilient in the face of a changing ecosystem."
The most exhilarating moments of Kathy Lin's summer internship with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) came about on a chilly July morning 10 miles out to sea off the coast of Rhode Island. Aboard a 20-foot long fishing boat, Kathy and her guide for the day—a native New Englander and lifelong professional fisherman—hauled fluke and talked shop.
"We were on the water at 3 a.m.—in time for the fish," says Kathy. "My guide let me borrow a pair of his big rubber gloves so that I could help with the catch. In between hauls, I asked him about how climate change has affected his livelihood."
A growing body of research suggests that climate change and rising water temperatures have caused a shift in the migration patterns of fish. Some species move to new areas; others die off. These changes impact the daily catch—and the livelihood of local fishing communities.
"At EDF, my job was to uncover how climate change is affecting fishers in the region in terms of what they catch and their profitability," she says. "Our goal was to help them become more resilient in the face of a changing ecosystem."
Kathy spent eight weeks travelling through New England visiting fisheries and interviewing fishers to understand how they are adapting to the effects of climate change. Kathy also helped write a set of recommendations for business practices to help the fishing community diversify its sources of income.
"Having Kathy drive this very important organizational initiative was really exciting for EDF," says Sarah Lindley Smith, Manager of Northeast Coastal Ecosystems for the group. "As a nonprofit we have to be careful with our resources. We don't necessarily have the budget to do everything we want to. So having access to high-quality interns who can take on big, substantive, complex problems brings a lot of value to our organization. And it allows us to expand our vision."
Kathy says became interested in these issues after taking part in Fishbanks—the popular management flight simulator based on the Fishbanks game created by Dennis Meadows, a former MIT Sloan professor. The web-based version was adapted by Professor John Sterman to teach students about the challenges of sustainably managing common pool resources.
"Fishbanks is a great microcosm for the complexities of collective action," she says. "I wanted to understand collective action better."
Her stint at EDF was part of the Sustainability Internship Program, supported by the Sustainability Initiative at MIT Sloan and made possible by a generous gift from Anna Gabriella C. Antici Carroll '92 and Joseph D. Carroll '91. Kathy says the dedicated internship program was one of the things that first attracted her to MIT Sloan.
It was, she says, a prime opportunity to explore the conditions necessary for successful resource management. "It's a real challenge because many stakeholders are doing the best they can while operating under a great deal of uncertainty," says Kathy. "There's a lot we don't know so it's hard to make the right decisions."

The New Moon in Virgo is happening on the 9th of September 2018, at 17° Virgo 00' at 8:02 PM CEST (+2:00) or 1:02 PM EST (-5:00). Not your time zone? Click here.

Cleansing of the mind and soul. Also of the body.
The Moon joins the Sun in Virgo, and they together form a trine with Pluto in Capricorn, and a sextile with Jupiter in Scorpio. Mercury in Virgo is also co-present with the Moon and the Sun. On the other hand, Venus has just entered in Scorpio and now is in opposition with Uranus in Taurus, and in square with Mars (this tension square gets fully active on the 11th of September as Mars ingresses in Aquarius). Saturn is also in harmony with a trine aspect with Uranus in Taurus. Saturn in Capricorn also turns direct, and action is coming.
So we see a lot of practical and earthy matters coming into play. Let us dive into the mixed symbolism. But first, let us welcome this Lunation with a poem that talks about change and our fear to the unknown (after all, Virgo is a transitional sign which prepares us for Libra and ultimately for Scorpio: the unknown).
Change is inevitable,
But yet we fight it, just the same.
Change is essential to our evolution.
Change is going to happen,
In fact, it happens every day,
Maybe it is too small to see, or perhaps we would rather not see it.
We fight change, because we fight the unknown,
We fight the unknown, because we are scared,
Scared of change, scared of the unknown.
If we were to allow change to happen freely,
We might find solutions to the problems that exist around us,
But instead, we are hung – up on controlling everything around us.
Maybe this is the problem with the world today.
Everyone assumes control of everything and does not allow nature to run her course.
Maybe this is why, we have devastating fall out from Nature,
Natural catastrophic disasters, such as fire and flooding.
Change is uncontrollable,
Change is inevitable,
Change is the unknown.
Nature takes pride in being one of life's illusive wonders, the unknown.

Something that is important here is that the Moon-Sun are also in an opposition with Neptune in Pisces, and this placement gives all this reality-practical-financial-career-work-issues another colour, an emotional one. And this one is so powerful an intense that it can actually affect our overall performance and behaviour during these days, when we are feeling squeezed with mundane (but understandable) life worries.
Something that we should keep in mind (and perhaps be prepared) is that a lot of material from the subconscious might be pouring out in very peculiar ways. Some experiences, words, people or sudden unexpected circumstances can release strongly held memories from the past, charged with sensorial (smell, taste, vision, touch) depictions which can awaken strong feelings and fears that have never acknowledged. There can be regrets.
Looking at the The Sabian Symbol for this lunation's degree displays:
"A volcanic eruption"
To which Rudhyar adds: "The explosive energy of long-repressed contents of the subconscious"; we can get a sense of what is going on. An explosion of trapped feelings, fears, deviated actions and regrets. However, this is one of those emblematic ways in which Virgo generates cleansing, purification, renewal and new energy recharge.
The Virgoan energy can bring such a deep cleansing. Sometimes not through the smoothest ways, but always through the necessary ways, so that we can learn, understand and identify that which needs to be removed, incorporated of transformed within us. And this cleanse is so vital in order to move forward, work hard (but authentically and genuinely), and bring a better version of who we are. And who we are is always evolving, shifting and transforming.
This goes also parallel to the mutation and transformation of the seasons and our landscapes. In some regions the cold is gone and the warmth is coming, in other regions the warmth is gone and the cold is coming. In some others, the rain or the dryness is changing the landscapes. Observe your surroundings and see what's changed in the physical world. Then think what needs to change within you.
Topics that can arise include decisions we have taken, choices we have made, and paths we have taken in our own development through this life, both personal and professional. A lot of questioning!
With Mars and Venus in tension, there can also be tension in how we relate with people, how we feel appreciated or understood by the others and how our needs are being acknowledged and satisfied. These tensions can be with your significant other, with friends, family, but even more intense at the workplace. Keep things smooth and try to place yourself in the shoes of the others before jumping into strong opinions and judgements.
Other topics that might arise are our health and diets, and how we take care of our own wellbeing (physical, mental and at soul level). We might start to feel uncomfortable with some things and yearn for a change. Changing diet, changing exercise pattern or starting to exercise, setting new goals and changing old goals that perhaps were never reached. Perhaps were just lessons on the way.
Finding new ways to harness peace of mind and soul is crucial. New meditation or breathing techniques, new disciplines or new books. Some people find relief in yoga, but some other will cling into new horizons (perhaps dance, martial arts or a new sport), and this will bring them peace of mind and soul.
Whatever happens to you, it is vital that you use the Virgo analytic feature to understand the reasons why you feel in such ways. The source from those emotions or fears. A concrete identification of the sensitive point on that specific circumstance, and from then, work towards a resolution either through the release of the old, or its transformation, or the incorporation of new visions and attitudes into your life.
Don't hesitate talking with people. There are always things we can learn from the simplest words coming from others. And the capacity to discern in between opinions and statements from others, and form our own conclusions is at the top during these days.
Let us make the best of this sort of cloudy time and use it as a preparation for the upcoming months. Let us hear the screams from our inner self, and help it reintegrate, rebalance and recharge with new fresh energy and visions of truth. Let us draw that version of ourselves we are seeking to master and become, knowing that the most great things in life often go along with hard work on the physical, but also on the inner emotional realm. And knowing that personal mutation is beautiful.

The most amazing dog by the name of 'Faith'....
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his own mother did not want him.
His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. By this time, his present owner Stringfellow met him and wanted to take care of him. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith'.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the movements. Later she used peanut buuter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around. Even the other dog at home also helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.
Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.
In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps one will feel better if one changes the point of view from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.(The contents of this article were quoted exactly just like the article i received in my email from a good 'ol friend of mine)
This is called 'Faith'. His name is Faith!
I would like to add in here..I really love dogs, and animals, when i have my first dog, i wanted it to be 'perfect', to look beautiful, to be a purebred, with beautiful coats, and beautiful blue eyes with a special characteristic on its forehead (it was a husky)-- but then..after i really have my very first dog, i realized that the prefect dog is not a 'perfect'(super beautifully--good looking) dog. But it comes from the inside, from the personality and loyalty. I guess it is just the same like having a boyfriend. The perfect boyfriend (even though there will NEVER be one perfect bf out there--so let's just say ...at least, he is close to become one-- according to me--) is not the most handsome man or the most well-built man,or a 'yummy' tan man with big muscles and have a'make the girls crazy' smile, but~, what is 'in'~ him, an extra something, something special, that counts.

Alexander Cheremnov: ''Then, I think, our government will seek funds for the HSR''
Gorky Railway is preparing a transport revolution from Adler to Yekaterinburg, planning to open new destinations from Kazan
Kazan, which is considered a transit railway junction, has obtained the right to launch many direct ''non-Moscow'' trips. On 1 October, Alexander Cheremnov, Deputy Head of the Gorky Railway — the branch of Russian Railways OJSC in the Kazan region, said that with the transition to the winter schedule Russian Railways will reschedule passenger trains, giving the right to form and serve ''the trains from Adler to Yekaterinburg'' with departure from Kazan. Why the High-Speed Railway project is slowed down, how railway workers are preparing for a 12-fold increase in freight traffic in 2025 and how much tariffs will be raised — read in the material of Realnoe Vremya.
15-year anniversary of Russian Railways in Tatarstan: intermodal branch and Kazan-2 transit station
Russian Railways JSC celebrated not very round, but significant date — 15 years since the foundation of the company, established on the basis of the Ministry of Railways, on 1 October. On this occasion, Alexander Cheremnov, Deputy Head of the Gorky Railway, the branch of Russian Railways JSC in the Kazan region, summed up the results of the work of Russian Railways in Tatarstan at a press conference, making the retrospective of bright historical events since 2005. Just from that moment, every year and without interruption, railway workers were building and opening new infrastructure facilities for the expansion of railway communication in the territory of three neighbouring republics — Tatarstan, Chuvashia and Mordovia. For some reason, Cheremnov did not mention the scale of Russian Railways investments in their renovation and reconstruction, although it is easy to figure out that this is about tens of billions of rubles.
The speaker tried to avoid announcing specific figures, giving only general vague formulations. Nevertheless, it is obvious that over the past 15 years, Russian Railways have made a big leap in the modernization of the railway infrastructure for passenger and suburban transportation. Suffice it to say that one of the most capital-intensive projects of Russian Railways in Tatarstan has been the construction of an intermodal branch in its capital, connecting the central station and the airport. Kazan has become a point of attraction for Russian Railways investments after it won the right to host 2013 Universiade. Alexander Cheremnov reminded that Russian Railways and the government of Tatarstan signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of railway transportation for 2011-2013 in 2010, after which Russian Railways forced its long-term construction. Thus, the reconstruction of the Romanovsky bridge across the Volga River, which dragged on since 2005, was completed in 2011, and in 2012, on Railway Worker Day, the transport interchange terminal Kazan-2, which receives transit trains, was opened.
Since then, Kazan fell in the priorities of Russian Railways, but the flow of investments slightly ''dropped'', reorienting to the renewal of the rolling stock. Kazan has become the third city in the Russian Federation that operates two-storey trains (Kazan-Moscow-Kazan), the cars of commuter trains were updated everywhere. As an important event Cheremnov called the construction of the overpass across the railway on the 758th km in Zelenodolsk, where there constantly were traffic jams. Finally, on 22 December 2016, Russian Railways and Tatarstan signed another cooperation agreement, but its content was not commented by the deputy head of the Gorky Railway in the Kazan region.
''If the economy requires it, the tariffs will be raised''
''We have grown significantly in terms of passenger transportation. Especially to the suburbs, due to which we received offers to open new routes. You can see that the quality of our commuter cars is excellent. This programme has not stopped, the renewal of rolling stock will continue,'' assured Cheremnov.
Answering the question of Realnoe Vremya whether tariffs will be changed, he reported that in the suburban transportation they definitely will not be raised until the end of the year, but he has no information for long-distance trains yet. ''I cannot guarantee that tariffs won't be raised for long-distance passenger transportation. This will depend on economic conditions. If the economy requires it, it means there will be an increase,'' Cheremnov explained.
Journalists asked the speaker if there was any fresh news on the megaproject of Russian Railways — the construction of the Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway (HSR). The head of the Kazan branch of Russian Railways had no choice but to repeat the already known information, making it clear that there are no positive changes yet and it is difficult to predict the future of the construction of the HSR to Kazan.
''As you know, it is a state project. The source of financing has been defined only for the first part — from Moscow to Vladimir,'' he reminded. ''Although, as I have already said, the project has passed state expertise in all stages of the construction from Moscow to Kazan. But the money has been allocated only for the first stage.''
At the same time, Cheremnov expressed hope that ''in our lifetime'' the project will be implemented, although he is not going to ''offer rosy hopes''. ''Then, I think, the leadership of our country will seek funds that are necessary for the implementation of the project. The project is not cheap, the amount is known. Therefore, everything depends on the sources and joint financing models with both Chinese and other partners, and on the approaches of new investors. As soon as the financing scheme is determined, the project will be implemented. The stage of design work and the choice of the route have been completed, all that is left to do is to finance and implement,'' he said, which meant that the most important thing is yet to be done.
I cannot guarantee that tariffs won't be raised for long-distance passenger transportation. This will depend on economic conditions. If the economy requires it, it means there will be an increase
Quiet transport revolution
After that, journalists had no choice but to return to the topic of passenger transportation. Will new directions be opened through Kazan? — answering this question, the head of the Kazan branch of the Gorky Railway tried to dissuade the press and move this topic to the next meeting, so as not to confuse ''fresh with sour''.
''There will be new proposals, new trains, but we will tell about them a week before the winter schedule. There are new trains that will function additionally,'' he tried to keep the intrigue, but still succumbed to persuasion and revealed some details of the new schedule (apparently, it has not yet been approved — editor's note). ''We take on maintaining of all trains from Adler to Yekaterinburg. It will be trains of our formation. Besides, we will be responsible for the 25th train Izhevsk-Moscow (one of the most popular because of the early arrival time to Moscow – editor's note). The new schedule has a lot of interesting things, but let's wait. A week before the new schedule we will tell about all changes,'' Cheremnov assured.
7 days to China
RZD is proud of the growth of cargo transportation. According to the speaker, over 15 years the turnover of the company has increased fivefold, and over 9 months of this year the Kazan branch has shipped 4,2 million tonnes of cargo (or a fifth of the total freight traffic generated by the Gorky Railway). And there is more to come, he said. ''We expect that the turnover will grow not 5-6-fold, but 12-fold by 2025,'' Cheremnov surprised the journalists.
According to him, it is China that will provide the explosive growth. The head of the Kazan branch informed that this year Russian Railways has adopted a programme of updating the infrastructure until 2025, which includes destinations to China. ''I cannot tell yet what share will go through our region, I'm afraid to make a mistake. But we expect a growth,'' he said evasively. According to Cheremnov, no train to China has been formed yet, though there are exporters. ''We form their cargo to China for trains that are formed in Moscow, and pick up these cars. Due to this, the speed of delivery of goods on the route Moscow-Blagoveshchensk has been reduced from 28 to 7 days,'' he said.
Single-line railway is killing the turnover from Alabuga
One of the vulnerable points in the relations between the Russian Railways and the government of Tatarstan is the long-standing problem of limited railway capacity at the SEZ Alabuga, the head of the Kazan branch admitted. Let us remind that the Turkish residents of the SEZ at the time already complained to the president of Tatarstan that they could not send products without a long wait, as goods from Alabuga are delivered by single-line railway. Alexander Cheremnov said that the inclusion of this issue in the programme of updating the infrastructure of Russian Railways until 2025 is now being under consideration.

How the Hospital Ecosystem of Medlinker is Shaping the Future of China's Healthcare
Actually, it is a huge market to dig into a particular disease. For example, the company had collaborated with Gilead Science, a research-based biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative medicines, in exploring and developing DTP(Direct To Patient) solutions of Hepatitis C.
A maldistribution of human resources and lack of quality medical practitioners is plaguing the Chinese healthcare system, deterring patients from being diagnosed effectively and efficiently. According to the Thirteenth-Five-Year Plan published by Council of State in 2016, China aimed to escalate the number of doctors and assisting physicians serving for every 1000 people to 2.22 in 2015 while the average number of OECD is 3.19. The government has tried to reform Chinese healthcare system in 2009, however, it fails to address the root causes of the wastes and inefficiencies such as a fragmented delivery system and provider incentives to over-provide expensive tests and services. Here comes Medlinker(医联)to address the issues, exploring a suitable platform and one-stop solutions to connect scarce doctors and massive patients in China.
Founded in 2014, Chengdu-headquartered Medlinker started in a Hi-tech zone. Their mobile app is initially aimed to connect physicians and build a communication group, just like a WeChat titled as Doctors Daily Discussion and Contacts, where doctors can share their expertise, experiences, and opinions with other elites in the industry, thus providing the community with a continuous source of quality content. Then Medlinker found out that it is possible to connect hospitals from the social network they already built. Finally, Medlinker would be able to serve not only hospitals and patients but also insurers, their service could penetrate into the whole industry chain, from Chronic Disease Management (CDM), medical insurance management and control through the technology of internet and big data.
According to CHEN Junsheng(陈俊生), the general manager of Medlinker, Medlinker bills itself as a smart hospital solutions servicer other than a pure internet hospital. Medlinker could touch both upstream market players including physicians, medical instrument suppliers, the providers of rudimentary health insurance and business insurance and medical big data, and downstream players such as public hospitals, private hospitals and corporates who are in need.
Medlinker did take some steps to fulfill the vision. March, Medlinker has poached Li Yue(李悦), vice president of MSD in China region, a leading global healthcare company with a 125-year history, to in charge of medical instrument department. Three months later, Medlinker reached an agreement with Dingdang Kuaiyao(叮当快药),an online-to-offline drug purchasing and delivery platform, to link their services together.
The key to the company's business model is simple we can conclude as a housekeeper of hospitals. The company assists hospitals to manage thousands of patients visiting every day, helping them to make appointments for diagnoses and even surgeries, saving their time from waiting in the endless line which is common in China and enabling to pay with the apps. All these features and processes add efficiency and accuracy, which on the treatments sides, things could be more meaningful. By pulling together data from multiple hospitals and each segment in treatments, Medlinker could use these data to analyse and improve their products and even the whole healthcare system in China. It's a big step forward.
As the housekeep, Medlinker will never leave their host a set of software to get payments but charge for value-add services from medical institutions and corporations.
A large proportion of Medlinker's target hospitals are private institutions or as we called it unpublic medical institutions. It is not easy to persuade public hospitals to engage in their platform, given the drug proportion (drug revenue/total prescription revenue) in this kind of hospital is more than 30%. Medlinker has little negotiation power in partnerships with public hospitals. Private hospitals, however, which urge for customers to increase revenue, deeply rooted in the platform since its established, becomes their main partners.
Another important barrier to entry of Medlinker is the strategy of focusing on one particular disease. Actually, it is a huge market to dig into a particular disease, according to CHENG. For example, the company had collaborated with Gilead Science, a research-based biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative medicines, in exploring and developing DTP(Direct To Patient) solutions of Hepatitis C.
As of July 2018, Medlinker claims the number of verified doctors on its platform is in excess of 500,000, reported by KrAsia. Its services cover 34 provinces in China, and are applied in more than 25,000 hospitals. So far the company has collected over 130,000 cases from its partnered hospitals and institutions, reported by Alltech Aisa. At the same time, the company has become China's latest unicorn, following a fundraising that values the 4-year-old company at more than USD1 billion. Backers of this fundraising include the likes of CIC Zhongcai, Sequoia Capital, and China Renaissance, with the latter being the exclusive financial advisor. The companion between the company and China Electronics Corporation (CEC), which led Series C round in December 2017, meant to initiate new projects that enhance connectivity between patients with doctors and insurers.

$1m project to dredge the Boyne River almost finished
THE long-awaited dredging of the Boyne River is expected to be finished next month after the project was delayed by wet weather.
The removal of 12,000 cubic metres of sediment across the 15-metre wide channel started late February and was expected to finished in time for the Boyne Tannum HookUp on May 4.
Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher said the $1million state-funded project was shaping up to be finished in early June.
"I flew over coming back from Brisbane today and you can certainly tell where the work is being done," he said.
"It's a nice green-blue water, where the rest of it is sand.
"I talked to (Gladstone Ports Corporation chief executive) Peter O'Sullivan prior to the Boyne Tannum HookUp and they were halfway through.
"It's been fine weather since then.
"They were saying it could be done by early June l ... as long as the weather stays fine.
"Hopefully it's not too far away at all."
The shallow water has been a problem for the region's fishermen since 2011 when the gradual buildup of sand started.
The work will allow half a metre of depth during the lowest astronomical tide.
Gladstone contractor East Coast Maritime is using a backhoe and barge method.

Hi All,
Examples of the Bookmarks widget I have seen so far are based on a Dojo button form widget (dijit.form.DropDownButton) rather than on a select form widget type like dijit.form.ComboBox. Is the Bookmarks widget compatible with a Dojo ComboBox or FilteringSelect widget and if so are there examples around ? I have tried a few things that all point to some sort of incompatibility with Dojo widgets other than the DropDownButton. The reason I'd like a ComboBox is to get auto completion on the bookmarks array.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we've been able to make a real difference for snow leopards in 2018.
For the fourth year in a row, we can say with very high confidence that ZERO snow leopards have been killed in areas where we work on the ground.
Through community-based conservation programs, we reach around 5,500 families in five key range countries. The areas our partner communities help us keep safe for snow leopards add up to around 10% of the cat's estimated global range. We estimate that these community-protected areas are home to between 400 and 600 snow leopards. Those are cats YOU are keeping safe!
There has been amazing progress for snow leopards once again in 2018
In Mongolia, the Tost Nature Reserve is now entirely free of mining licenses! Since 2011, a total of 37 mining licenses had been issued to private companies in this prime snow leopard habitat – and you've been by our side every step of the way as we worked to protect this land.
In 2016, after years of grassroots campaigning, the parliament of Mongolia declared Tost a State Nature Reserve. In 2017, the government ratified the Reserve's boundaries, putting the parliament's decision into action. This year, another key step was taken, as the government has bought back the last remaining mining licenses in the area. Now, Tost is officially safe from the threat of mining!
Read more about Tost Nature Reserve:
Mongolian herder woman Surenkhuu Luvsan, one of the community advocates who played a key role in protecting Tost, was recognized for her role in this amazing success story with the 2018 David Shepherd Conservation Award.
Meet Surenkhuu Luvsan, herder and conservation hero:
In Kyrgyzstan, we discovered the first snow leopard cubs in the Shamshy Wildlife Sancturary you helped us establish in 2016. And we've negotiated with the government to expand the protected area by more than fifteen times, adding two more former hunting concessions to it next year! This massive area will be free of any hunting and will provide a safe haven for wildlife for generations. In 2019, we'll start working with local communities, authorities, entrepreneurs and investors to help the communities in this area jumpstart the local economy based on green, sustainable enterprise, driven by wildlife conservation.
Our community-based conservation work in India was documented in a short film entitled "Living with Snow Leopards – Tashi's Story". The film, produced by SLT board member Gayle Podrabski, was selected as the year's best film on conservation solutions at the 2018 Big Cat Film Festival, held by the United Nations. It was also shown on PBS Nature in December, reaching an even larger audience!
Big Cat Film Festival Award for Snow Leopard Trust Documentary
We've also taken big steps forward in our understanding of snow leopards. All snow leopard range country governments and key conservation organizations have endorsed the Population Assessment of the World's Snow Leopards (PAWS), an ambitious project which we have championed for several years. With various partners, we've begun working on best practices and a research plan that will help the snow leopard conservation community finally come up with a scientifically solid estimate of this threatened cat's population and status.

Population Assessment of World's Snow Leopards To Be Launched
Our Long-Term Ecological Study of snow leopards in Mongolia has celebrated its ten-year anniversary this year – and it has perhaps been the most exciting year so far! Our field teams have managed to collar a record seven wild snow leopards. This takes the total of cats we're currently tracking to nine – more than any other study has collared in total! The four males and five female cats will give us invaluable insights into snow leopard ecology and behavior. Among them is a mother-daughter pair we are tracking simultaneously. In a few months, the young one should disperse from her mother and find her own home range – and thanks to your support, we'll be able to observe and document this key step in her development.
We've also begun a fascinating new phase of research: besides snow leopards, we've also started tracking wild ibex and domestic goats this year with GPS collars. This will allow us to understand the complex dynamics between predator, prey and livestock in the ecosystem.
Finally, we're making strides in our work with governments. In Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan, management plans for the protection of at least one of their key snow leopard landscapes have been created with our technical input, and other countries are following suit. And with the help of US Fish and Wildlife Services, Interpol and other partners, we've started the development of a new database on snow leopard poaching and trafficking to help law enforcement agencies identify hotspots and close loopholes.

Our work has been recognized with the highest possible rating of four stars by Charity Navigator. You, our supporters, have reviewed us favorably enough to earn the distinction as one of 2018's Top Rated Nonprofits on GreatNonProfits.com.

None of this would have been possible without you, our wonderful donors, funders and partners. From all of us at the Snow Leopard Trust, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!

In late January India lifted their A380 ban. The ban was an attempt to protect local carriers from foreign competition. The reality was that local carriers weren't competitive to begin with, and that's the case regardless of whether the competition flies an A380 there or not. I mean, Jet Airways flies two 737s between Mumbai and Singapore daily. They can't compete with Singapore Airlines, regardless of whether Singapore Airlines is operating a 777-300ER or A380 on the route.
After the ban was lifted, the big question was which carrier would be the first to announce service. Most assumed it would be Emirates, given the amount of traffic they have to/from India. It wasn't. Instead Singapore Airlines was the first to announce scheduled A380 service to India.
Singapore Airlines A380 first class
Specifically, as of May 30, 2014, Singapore Airlines will be launching once daily A380 service between Singapore and both Delhi and Mumbai. I'm kind of surprised they beat Emirates, given how much more service Emirates has to India than Singapore.
I'm booked on the inaugural flight in Suites Class, if for no other reason than the entertainment value of watching the ground handlers trying to pull the jet bridge up to the A380 for the first time ever.
It seems that Emirates won't be too far behind Singapore Airlines, and will launch A380 service to Mumbai as of July. Via Live Mint:
"Emirates plans to deploy an A380 on one of its existing daily services between Dubai to Mumbai, starting from July and is working closely with Mumbai Airport Authorities to make this deployment possible," Emirates said in a statement on Thursday. "In addition, we have plans to upgrade existing aircraft to larger capacity Boeing 777s to Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai starting from 1 June."
At just under 1,200 miles, this will definitely be one of the shorter A380 routes out there. Not quite as short as Emirates' new Kuwait A380 route, which will be the world's shortest A380 route at just ~500 miles.
Emirates hasn't yet loaded a schedule for the new service, though once they do I'll be sure to write a follow up post.
Tough to beat Emirates first class on such a short flight, especially with a shower!

SA hockey youngsters have everything to play for
- Updated: December 9, 2013
The South Africa Under-21 men's hockey team's agonising 2-1 defeat by Asian champions Malaysia has left the South Africans' final Pool D match against New Zealand in Delhi on Monday a massive game for both teams, writes Jon Cook.
The FIH reports that both SA and the Malaysian team had narrow wins on the opening day (SA 2 England 1; Malaysia 3 New Zealand 2) and South Africa started their match cautiously, not wanting to risk falling behind early.
Things started to heat up after 10 minutes. South Africa bobbled their first penalty corner but Matt Brown made no mistake on the second one, slotting the ball high out of reach of Hafizuddin Othman in the Malaysian goal.
The Asian champions reacted immediately and besieged the South African circle, calling keeper Rene de la Peyre into action left and right. He stood his ground well but was caught by a deflection after a free-hit was drilled into the circle in the 27th minute. Malaysia had chances to take the lead in the final minutes of the first half but South Africa were kept afloat by De la Peyre, in fine form, and the break was reached on a tied 1-1 score.
After another period of domination, Malaysia took the lead in the 43th minute through Firhan Ashari, turning around at the top of the circle and blasting the ball into the backboard.
Play was fast and entertaining and it was soon the turn of South Africa to be threatening, earning a penalty corner after Ignatius Malgraff cut through the entire Malaysian defence. The corner was upgraded to a penalty stroke but Brown's attempt was stopped by the keeper, maintaining the narrow Malaysian lead.
South Africa pushed desperately for the elusive equaliser but Malaysia did not break down, and won 2-1 to win Pool D with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, New Zealand and England drew 2-2 and the upshot is that going into Monday's matches SA, England and the Kiwis have the chance to join Malaysia in the top eight.
All four teams have played two matches in Pool D and have one match left. Malaysia are through to Thursday's quarter-finals with a game in hand, as they already have a maximum six log points (with a goal difference of two). SA are second with three points (GD 0), New Zealand third (one log point, GD -1 but five goals for) and England fourth (GD -1 but four goals for).
SA will know what has to be done against New Zealand, as they have the advantage of playing after England face Malaysia.
Should England win, SA will probably have to beat New Zealand. If England lose or draw, then a draw against NZ will be good enough for SA to finish second in Pool D and thereby reach the top eight play-offs for the first time ever. For the Kiwis it is a must-win match, no question, although if England beat Malaysia they'll know they need a win against SA plus the minimum number of goals needed as well as how big the margin of victory must be.
Both the Malaysia vs England and the SA vs New Zealand matches will be live on SuperSport 6, the first match at 2.25pm SA time Monday and the SA match at 4.25pm SA time.
Two South Africans are among the tournament officials in Delhi. Clive McMurray is the umpires' manager and Peter Wright is an umpire, while the former South African who went to Maritzburg College, Grant Hundley, now of the USA, is also wielding the whistle. South Africa's Pretoria-based Annelize Rostron officiated with the whistle at the Women's World League finals won by the Netherlands on Sunday in Tucuman, Argentina.
The Junior World Cup match will be televised live on SuperSport 7 at 4.25pm SA time with a repeat on SS7 at 7.30pm.

What does it mean when an oil industry magazine puts the Tesla Model S on the cover of the magazine? Here's the article:
Why battery technology could drive the electric vehicle to new heights – and disrupt the fossil fuel industry in the process.
The Tesla Model-S is one of the most beautiful and interesting automobiles to ever get made. It might also be one of the most dangerous. That's because it's managed to do something that no other electric vehicle has ever achieved: become an object of desire. Previous generations of electric cars, from the Nissan Leaf to GM's famous (and infamous) EV-1, have tended to be high on cost and low on drivability. But the Model-S managed to bridge that divide, and as the reviewers at Car and Driver said in their review of the car, "it dispels conventional thinking about EVs – it's a glimpse of the future."

Why Can IUDs & Implants Stop Your Period?
The varieties of birth control available to women are rather astounding — an implanted tiny stick of plastic in my arm that will prevent me from getting pregnant for three years? Are you sure this isn't magic? — but some of them come with a slightly alarming side effect: certain forms of contraception, like hormonal IUDs and implants, result in your period stopping altogether. It's confined to specific hormonal contraceptives, and it can either be a massive relief or a rather confusing experience. And it also raises a lot of questions: what causes it? Is it safe? Is my body just building up a backlog of periods to unleash upon me, The Shining-style?
After my insertion of a contraceptive arm implant several months ago, I haven't had the whisper of a period, a side effect that was unexpected but not unwelcome. I do recognize, however, that the absence of a period isn't a boon for everybody; what to me represents the end of ruining underwear and running out of tampons at pivotal moments (I am a disorganized woman) is, to others, a vital part of their monthly program of reassurance that they're not carrying anybody's kid, and that's not something you should feel ashamed to want. The good news is that period absence on the hormonal IUD, the contraceptive implant, or the mini-pill is a normal side effect, and is actually part of the accepted treatment plan for menorrhagia, or excessive bleeding; it's not a sign that your uterus is suddenly malfunctioning, or that you're losing your feminine hormones, or that you'll never have a period again.
Here's the science behind why certain types of contraception can make periods vanish like a magic trick, and why that isn't something you should panic about.
Why Can Your Period Vanish?
The lessening or complete vanishing of periods on various forms of birth control is down to one particular kind of synthetic hormone: progestin. The progestins, as they're called (there's not just one version, and many birth controls use different varieties), are synthetic versions of a hormone your body naturally produces called progesterone. It's one of the hormones that determines your body's ovulation and menstrual cycles; it's a "regulatory" chemical, and its levels in the body act as signals for everything from the uterus lining to cervical mucus.
Hormonal IUDs, implants, and the mini-pill are all based exclusively on the release of progestins into the female body (the combination pill also uses estrogen, and the copper coil just uses the phenomenal powers of copper to derail the whole pregnancy process, including decapitating sperm) — and progestins are the responsible party for the vanishing or drastic lessening of your menstrual bleeding, because of what they do to your uterine lining.
Progestins target the lining of the uterus in particular, making it seriously thin as a preventative measure against any eggs implanting in it. As you'll know from health class, the lining of the uterus is what's shed during a period, and its serious thinness may simply indicate to the body that it doesn't require to be shed at all. Progestin levels are also a signaling system, and their monthly drop in the blood is what tells the body to start peeling off the insides of the uterus; if progestin levels are kept high, that signal sometimes just doesn't send.
The progestin used in many hormonal IUDs, a variety called levonorgestrel, are particularly known for causing menstrual irregularities and vanishing; it's telling that levonorgestrel is also used in emergency contraception, and a 2006 study found that after taking a levonorgestrel morning-after pill, periods were temporarily but significantly altered.
According to the National Library of Medicine, studies have shown that progestin-only birth control methods often tend to reduce bleeding, making them a common prescription for people who suffer from extensive, heavy menstrual bleeding. Hormonal IUDs are a particular favorite for treatment; a landmark study across Europe in 2013 found that they're likely the best option for treating the condition.
Is It Anything To Be Worried About?
If you're worried that not having a period is causing some kind of blockage of period blood and lining that will eventually need to be removed or flushed out, don't. The thinning of the endometrial layer (the uterus lining) on progestins means that there's no real danger; the body isn't producing a huge, thick lining that will cause trouble unless it's shed. It's becoming teeny-tiny, and the body basically sees no point in expending energy and blood on the effort of expelling it.
It can be a gradual process, too; the IUD brand Mirena has done a study on the particular evolution of bleeding patterns among women with heavy periods who've just been fitted with its hormonal IUD, and found that they started to see a reduction in bleeding after about three months, with an average of 90 percent reduction after six months. What happens in the initial period can differ significantly between women, but up to 70 percent of all Mirena IUD users will stop having a period within two years of getting one, whatever their previous period experiences.
What If You Want To Keep Your Period?
An absence of periods is not for everybody. While many women embrace the lack of trouble and potential stains, it can also freak others out; without that monthly reminder of "not pregnant," you can feel a lack of reassurance, even if your IUD, implant, or contraceptive is meant to be taking care of that for you.
The women's health website Bedsider recommends that women contemplating getting an IUD do a serious compare and contrast between hormonal and copper options; the copper ones often make periods longer and a bit worse in the first few months before returning to normal, and aren't hormonal at all. The monthly "withdrawal bleed" on the combined pill is also meant to be a reassuring element; it was built into the original design of the pill to allay religious objections to altering the "natural" functioning of the female body and give women the experience of a monthly bleed. (Periods on The Pill are not "periods" in the true sense of the word; they represent a small shedding of the uterine lining in response to a lowering in hormone levels, but aren't actually fulfilling the normal function of a "clean out" to prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy the next month.)
If you do want the reassurance of a period and don't have health issues that make an IUD or implant the preferable option, then it's perfectly legitimate to go to your doctor and ask to explore your options. It's your body; you've got a right not to panic every month.

Scouts: Let's talk about the amazing new Thor trailer that dropped yesterday. If you haven't seen it, click below. If you have seen it, watch it again! I'm going to be honest with you all here. Thor hasn't been my favorite Avenger so far. It's not that I don't like Chris Hemsworth or I don't think he's doing a good job, it's just that the character is so…..dull. And really I haven't been able to understand why they continually write this guy as so dimwitted and boring. They have all this amazing Norse mythology to tap into but instead have come up with two movies that were incredibly boring and uneventful. I'm a huge Marvel fan and I honestly can't tell you what happened in the second movie. If not for the absolutely outstanding Tom Hiddleston, I'm not sure any of the movies thus far would have any redeeming value. So to say that the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok wasn't exactly high on my radar would be an understatement. That is until yesterday's fantastic trailer. You can see Marvel is really taking the lessons learned from Guardians of the Galaxy to heart. The trailer features plenty of action with a few well timed jokes all scored to Zepplin's Immigrant Song. There is a very strong 70s vibe that is really punctuated in the ending titles. New director Taika Waititi wants to take us on a ride and for the first time with Thor I really want to go. A lot of people have been worried that Marvel has gotten into a bit of a rut lately with Dr. Strange basically being a copy/paste of the first Iron Man. Uninspired villains, strange white-washing, a hero that you just don't really get into all that much, and a story that's just the same you've seen a half dozen times now. Iron man was always the traditional action flick. Captain America was the spy thriller. GoG is the campy comedy, and it looks like Thor is finally settling into a place of it's own, even if it's basically living in GoG's shadow. Personally, I'm okay with this. I want to see Loki flipping knives like a badass leading an army into battle. I want to see Thor with his chopped off hair shocking everyone with his pleasure at gladiator opponent. And holy shit does Jeff Glodblum look like he's gonna nail the shit out of Grandmaster. For the first time, I'm actually excited for a Thor movie. Something I never thought would be possible. I don't care if the trailer was half spoilers. I'm 100% in.
Mets 4, Phillies 3 – Jay Bruce, who the Mets were actively and publicly shopping with zero interest his hit a pair of home runs for 3 of the Met's 4 runs. Bruce has now hit 3 jacks in his past two games.
Dodgers 2, Cubs 3 – The Cubs celebrated their banner-raising ceremony with a walk-off party! Anthony Rizzo hit the game winner after a two hour rain delay pushed the game into the wee hours.
Astros 0, Mariners 6 – Prof: What's up, James Paxton? Maybe the Seattle pitcher is kryptonite for Houston, shutting down the Astros for the second time in this young season. Nelson Cruz hit a two run single in the fifth inning to put the Mariners ahead. But it wasn't all roses for the M's; Jean Segura strained his right hamstring and had to leave the game.
Cardinals 6, Nationals 14 – Bryce Harper went 4-4 with 2 walks and 3 RBI as the Nats put up a 7 spot in the 8th to absolutely demolish the Cardinals. Adam Wainwright is now 0-2 after giving up 11 hits and 6 runs in just 4 innings. It feels like it's going to be a very up and down season for the Nats.
Reds 7, Pirates 1 – Tyler Glasnow lasted just 1.2 innings giving up 5 runs off 5 walks and 4 hits.
Rays 1, Yankees 8 – Prof: Did y'all hear that Michael Pineda threw a perfecto deep into the seventh inning? Well, he did. He got jinxed by Martha Stewart, though. If you believe in that sort of thing. Or, more likely, his slider met up with a sharp eyed Evan Longoria, who smacked a double with two outs. The Yanks got some heavy artillery from Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, and Starlin Castro.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 2 – Prof: A real gem was pitched in Comerica Park yesterday, with Chris Sale head to head against Justin Verlander. A slight misstep by John Farrell to keep Sale on the mound led to an Ian Kinsler homer, and a Tigers win. But even though Sale gets the loss, he still pitched an excellent game. In related news, the Red Sox are battling a flu epidemic. If the opposing team against the Tigers get sick, y'all know who to blame.
Athletics 2, Royals 0 – Prof: It was a rough day for Kansas City. This was their home opener after some rather funky games already in this short season. The pregame began with a tribute to their late ace and emotional team anchor Yordano Ventura, who was killed in an automobile accident during the offseason. After the tribute to Ventura, the Royals went on to play some highly anemic baseball. Oakland is reaping the benefits of Khris Davis, who hit his fourth home run of the year and gave the A's all the leverage they needed.
Diamondbacks 1, Giants 4 – Prof: Scary moment in the first inning of this matchup when San Francisco star catcher Buster Posey was drilled in the helmet by a fastball and had to leave the game as a precaution. Nick Hundley took his place and the game continued. In the fourth inning, the Giants capitalized on some prime Gritty Snake behavior to earn three more runs (overthrown, passed balls, and two errors. What did I say? 'Zona gonna zone).
Padres 5, Rockies 3 – Wil Myers decided to open the season with a bang, hitting for the cycle, just the second player in Padre history to do so. Do people not care about hitting for the cycle anymore? Seems like it's never big news when someone does so.
