Having recently finished Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project, I was on the lookout for something new to read. I was thrilled to discover a Nora Ephron book in Warwickshire libraries' e-Book collection: I Feel Be About My Neck: And Other Thoughts On Being a Woman.
Essentially a collection of essays, the book offers an amusing and witty perspective on various aspects of life from the point of view of a woman of a certain age.
Ephron's topics are wide-ranging: from 'maintenance' to the nostalgic quest for the perfect cabbage strudel, I recommend the book to you wholeheartedly (whether or not you are, like me, a woman and most definitely on the 'wrong' side of 40).
This piece captures so eloquently but wistfully the process of letting go whilst revealing so clearly the resultant benefits.
Aspiring minimalists already know the joy of living with less. What Ephron captures is the sense of moving on, not only physically but emotionally, from the life she once had.
Where our perspectives diverge is in the very last part where Ephron suggests the idea of starting to 'accumulate all over again'. We know that re-filling our lives with stuff will not add value or provide the sustained benefits of a clutter-less existence.
So, if you are cracking on with #Unclutter2017 this weekend, remember that the process may cause you to confront who you once were. You'll feel lighter as a result, however, and I promise you it'll help you get back to basics and focus on what really matters.

What happens when you need to replace something?
No! Unless you are seriously into home decorating, gardening or DIY, the likelihood of using/wearing X again is negligible.
Establish this principle: When you bring a new item into the house, an old one has to go. This is the 'one in, one out' rule.
There are some fantastic initiatives that support the 'one in, one out' approach. My local independent underwear shop accepts pre-worn bras, which are then donated for charity. Old books are very welcome at the second-hand not-for-profit book store. Charity shops will often accept all sorts of miscellaneous items, some of which can be sold immediately in your local store. Tap into local initiatives because there'll certainly be a way for you to pass on your no-longer-needed items and you'll do some good in the process.
If you're well on the road to living a fuller life with less, this rule will help you avoid the trap of 're-filling' your home with more stuff.

Today's tip is to remove duplicates.
If you look in the kitchen cupboard, I'll bet you'll find duplicates of at least one piece of equipment. When I finally tackled my own kitchen, this was certainly the case.
The kitchen is the area of our home where we seem to (inexplicably) acquire more than one of the same thing. It's likely that you have at least two can or bottle openers. I did! For some reason, we invest in new and better equipment, then fail to get rid of the original.
So, today's tip is to go through a particular space and remove duplicates, keeping the very best item for daily use.
As I wrote here, I don't believe in 'Sunday best' so lighten the load and retain your preferred item.
Today's tip emulates the experience of Ryan Nicodemus of The Minimalists who famously boxed up the contents of his entire home, deciding to keep only those items that he used in the subsequent 21 days.
Try this yourself, but on a smaller scale. Take a look at a specific space where you are storing little-used items. In particular, look at a place such as hard-to-reach high cupboards, basement storage units or utility room shelves.
Box up the seldom-used items and retrieve only what you need within the next month (or within a period of time you decide). If, after that period has elapsed, you haven't emptied the box, take it (as it is) to the recycling centre, charity shop or homeless shelter.
If you're feeling bold, host a packing party to invite some friends to help you.
Play the Minimalism Game throughout January, made popular by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus (The Minimalists).
Did you know that if you declutter one item on day 1, two on day 2, three on day 3 and so on, after a month, you will have reduced the number of items you own by 496?
Try it for longer if you feel inspired to continue. Imagine after 50 days, you'd have decluttered 1300 items! That's a lot of stuff! | {

Hundreds of children from local primary schools have taken part in the annual schools' Tri-Golf Festival at Winchester Golf Academy organised by Winchester City Council.
Otterbourne Primary School was the winner of the year 3/4 category. In second place was Sparsholt Primary School and St Peter's Catholic Primary School came in third. In a clean sweep, Otterbourne also won the year 5/6 category, with second place going to St Bede and Twyford taking third. The winners and runners up will represent Winchester at the Hampshire School Games in June.
Many of the children involved in the competition had previously taken part in a Council-run six week Tri-Golf project at their school which introduced around 700 pupils to the sport.
It was wonderful to be at the event and see young people engaging in a sport which could introduce them to new skills as well as improve their wellbeing and fitness. Congratulations to everyone who took part and thank you to the council's Sport & Physical Activity team for organising the festival, the volunteers who helped make it such a success and to Winchester Golf Academy for hosting the event.
Students from Peter Symonds College, Sparsholt College and The Henry Beaufort School volunteered to help at the festival. | {

Rouch, Jean, director.
France : Films de la Pléiade, 1956.
VHS (28 min.)
The film presents the ceremony of a religious sect, the Hauka, which was widespread in West Africa from the 1920s to the 1950s. Hauka participants were usually rural migrants from Niger who came to cities such as Accra in Ghana (then Gold Coast), where they found work as laborers in the city's lumber yards, as stevedores at the docks, or in the mines. There were at least 30,000 practicing Hauka in Accra in 1954 when Jean Rouch was asked by a small group to film their annual ceremony During this ritual, which took place on a farm a few hours from the city, the Hauka entered trance and were possessed by various spirits associated with the Western colonial powers: the governorgeneral, the engineer, the doctor's wife, the wicked major, the corporal of the guard.

An organ concerto is a piece of music, an instrumental concerto for a pipe organ soloist with an orchestra. The form first evolved in the 18th century, when composers including Antonio Vivaldi, George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach wrote organ concertos with small orchestras, and with solo parts which rarely call for the organ pedal board. During the Classical period the organ concerto became popular in many places, especially in Bavaria, Austria and Bohemia (whether called there a concerto, pastorella, or sonata), reaching a position of being almost an integral part of the church music tradition of jubilus character. From the Romantic era fewer works are known. Finally, there are some 20th- and 21st-century examples, of which the concerto by Francis Poulenc has entered the basic repertoire, and is quite frequently played.
The organ concerto form is not usually taken to include orchestral works such as organ symphonies that call for an organ used as an extra orchestral section, examples of which include the Third Symphony of Camille Saint-Saëns, Gustav Holst's The Planets and Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra.

George Frideric Handel (1685–1759)
Handel wrote organ concertos as interludes for his oratorios—playing the organ part himself while directing the orchestra. Some are arrangements of his earlier works, or of works by other composers. For more details see the list of Handel's concertos. Many alternatives exist, so it is difficult to precisely number his organ concertos, however it is generally accepted that he wrote 16:
HWV 289 – Op. 4 No. 1 in G minor: larghetto, allegro, adagio, andante
HWV 290 – Op. 4 No. 2 in B-flat major: tempo ordinario, allegro, adagio, allegro ma non troppo

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)
There is no clearly named "organ concerto" (i.e., for organ and orchestral ensemble) by Bach, but several cantata movements contain extensive obbligato organ parts. Versions of six of these cantata movements had a later incarnation in the two harpsichord concertos BWV 1052 and 1053. Cantata 35 contains two instrumental Sinfonias with organ solo, the first of which agrees with the fragmentary keyboard concerto BWV 1059. A recording of a reconstruction of this as an organ concerto was made by Ton Koopman.
Bach's admiration for Antonio Vivaldi and the Italian style led to several transcriptions of instrumental concertos for solo organ, without an orchestra:

How One of the Most Vulnerable Governors Staged a Comeback
After the state sent out a false nuclear attack warning in January, Hawaii Gov. David Ige trailed in polls. Now he's favored to win reelection.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige (AP/Caleb Jones)
Last Updated Aug. 13 at 8:19 a.m. ET
One of the year's greatest political comeback stories is playing out in Hawaii. Gov. David Ige, who looked like a sure loser a few months ago, now appears poised to win a second term.
Polls conducted this spring showed Ige trailing Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa by 20-point margins. At a time when fears of a North Korean nuclear attack were high, a false emergency alert in January warning Hawaiians of an impending ballistic missile -- and Ige's slow response to it -- appeared to doom his reelection chances.
In Unprecedented Move, Oversight Committee Urges Maine Governor to Apologize for 'Undignified' Outburst In Tight Race for Arizona Governor, Focus Is on Education Funding After 'Grueling Campaign,' Hawaii Governor Wins Democratic Primary As November Nears, More Governors' Races Become Tossups Blue-State Seats Democrats Can't Win
But polls heading into Saturday's Democratic primary showed Ige with the lead. And in Hawaii, all the action is in Democratic primaries. Republicans are essentially irrelevant. They hold no seats in the state Senate and five seats out of 51 in the state House. The Democratic nominee for governor will be considered a lock against state Rep. Andria Tupola, the GOP nominee.
"The first and most important thing is that Colleen Hanabusa [Ige's opponent] ran a terrible campaign," says Colin Moore, who directs the University of Hawaii's public policy center. "She wasn't in the state for the most important period" -- because she was serving in Congress -- "and never really articulated a clear campaign message that gave voters a reason to vote for her."
Ironically for a governor whose fortunes were almost sunk by a false nuclear warning, Ige's chances were revived largely thanks to natural disasters. Huge rainstorms over Kauai in April led to historic flooding there, damaging or destroying more than 500 homes. Meanwhile, volcanic lava has ruined so many homes on the Big Island of Hawaii that, as Hurricane Hector approached, there was mordant joking that there's nothing left to destroy.
Recovery is ongoing, but the disasters gave Ige the chance to demonstrate leadership qualities that were conspicuously not on display during the false missile alert.
"Gov. Ige has run a vigorous campaign driven by effective messaging, combined with the advantage of being the incumbent during two major disasters," says Donalyn Dela Cruz, a communications consultant.
Incumbency provided Ige with other advantages. He was able to make the local news when he held bill signing ceremonies, while Hanabusa was trapped 5,000 miles away in Washington. Neil Abercrombie, Ige's predecessor, resigned his seat in Congress to make his run for governor, recognizing the difficulties of seeking the office long distance.
Hanabusa did not make that move.
Four years ago, she did give up her seat in the U.S. House to run unsuccessfully for the Senate. In 2016, she won back her House seat. Running for her third different office in as many election cycles led to some grumbling that she was seeking the governorship mostly to satisfy career ambitions.
Although she derided Ige's leadership abilities, Hanabusa had not articulated major policy differences with him. She was a longtime labor lawyer and had received some union support. But Ige has the endorsement of the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Sierra Club, and managed to present himself as the more progressive choice.
While Ige is running at a time of historically low unemployment in the state -- its 2 percent rate in May was the lowest recorded by any state since the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics began keeping track back in 1976 -- the cost of living and housing remains a serious sore point.
Ige himself unseated Abercrombie four years ago. If he had lost, it would have been the second time in a row the governor lost his seat in a primary -- something that's happened only a handful of times in American history.

Column Editor: Laura N. Gasaway (Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Law, Chapel Hill, NC 27599; Phone: 919-962-2295; Fax: 919-962-1193)

QUESTION: A public librarian asks why libraries are allowing publishers to determine the reproduction parameters for eBooks. Why cannot a user print a copy for purposes of reading it in a more comfortable environment than at a computer station?
ANSWER: Publishers own the rights to the eBooks that they make available to libraries through license agreements. A license agreement is a contract that the library signs to acquire access to eBooks for its users, and libraries are bound by the contracts they sign. (See 17 U.S.C. § 108(f)(4) (2012). It is critical to publishers that eBooks not be copied and shared since publishers' income depends on selling licenses.
Some licenses may permit printing of a single copy for a single use, but it depends on the license agreement. If the right to print a reading copy for a single use is important to a library's users, librarians should negotiate with publishers to have the right included in the next license agreement. Most libraries lend eBooks to read and enjoy at the users' home or office.
QUESTION: A university librarian asks why there have been so many articles concerning copyrighted works entering the public domain on January 1, 2019, and why it is important.
ANSWER: When the Copyright Act of 1976 was enacted, one change was to make all works for which the copyright term expired in a particular year to enter the public domain on January 1 of that year. In 1998, the Sonny Bono Term Extension Act, an amendment to the Copyright Act, extended the copyright term for works published between 1923 and 1964 from 75 to 95 years. These works received an initial term of 28 years and could be renewed for an additional 47 years. If not renewed for copyright, these works entered the public domain. The Term Extension Act added another 19 years to the renewal term, giving them a total of 67 years renewal plus the initial 28 years for a total of 95 years. The works from 1923 for which the copyright was not renewed expired at the end of 2018 and entered the public domain on January 1, 2019.
Because the Disney Company lobbied so hard for the Term Extension Act, it is often referred to as the Mickey Mouse act. Why copyright protection in the Disney characters is so important is somewhat of a mystery since these characters also enjoy trademark protection. Further, trademark can be perpetual as long as a company continues using the character as a mark and renews the trademark every ten years. True, the Act did extend the copyright to 2024 on "Steamboat Willie," the first cartoon in which Mickey Mouse appeared. Nonetheless, in 1998 a 19-year hiatus was placed on works entering the public domain. This resulted in works from the mid-20th century that are still under copyright not being available on the Internet. Many feared as 2019 drew near that the copyright industry would again lobby for term extension. Fortunately, this did not happen. Congress and others have recognized that for these works created before 1964, 95 years of protection is enough.
Many of the articles and blogs discussing works entering the public domain in 2019 list many of these important works. Google Books will begin to offer full text of the books from 1923. The HathiTrust has made over 50,000 titles from 1923 available in its database. Unfortunately, many of these works may have been lost over the years, for example, many silent films. The importance of copyright expiration for works published in 1923 means that anyone might reproduce them, make them available on the Internet, perform them, adapt them, etc., without extensive research to locate the copyright owner and seek permission. It is a boon for scholars everywhere as well as for individuals.
QUESTION: A school library has a film on VHS that has never been published on DVD. Teachers in the school are actually using it in class. Another library has requested the tape via interlibrary loan. The librarian asks if she can copy the tape and send it to the other library.
ANSWER: Unfortunately no. The library may lend the original but not reproduce it. It would be similar to copying an entire book for interlibrary loan. Most librarians would recognize that copying an entire exceeds fair use and the Interlibrary Loan Guidelines.
QUESTION: A publisher asks about an author who wants to use a figure from a white paper published by an Indian company in 2002. The adapted figure is crucial to the author's manuscript. Despite attempting multiple means to reach the company to seek permission, the author has been unsuccessful. The publisher asks if the figure must be removed from her manuscript even though it rather destroys her work to omit it. Is there any "reasonable person" dimension to such efforts?
ANSWER: While there is no formal "reasonable person" standard, a court would likely pay attention to the efforts of the author to obtain permission and be sympathetic. Retaining copies of emails, records of phone calls, etc., is advisable. Further, the author should fully cite the original article and include a note to the effect that she tried repeatedly without success to obtain permission to use the figure.
While there is some risk in publishing the adapted figure, it likely is slight. The white paper is several years old. Using the figure as defined is a type of critique of the figure, which tends to make it a fair use. There is little way to do a critique without reproducing the figure itself. One figure from the white paper is definitely a small amount. Further, the author has done all she can to get permission. The publisher now has to evaluate the importance of publishing the work versus the potential risk of using the figure without permission.
QUESTION: A university librarian asks about the recent suit filed by Elsevier and the American Chemical Society against ResearchGate (RG) over some 3,000 articles. He is concerned because faculty at his institution depend on RG and many of the articles on RG are authored by his faculty members.
ANSWER: The complaint filed in the federal district court in Maryland claims that RG provides anyone connected to the Internet with free access to infringing digital copies of peer-reviewed articles published in scholarly journals. Further, the complaint states that RG is not a passive host of a forum where infringement just happens to occur but instead it directly engages by reproducing, displaying and distributing unauthorized copies of these journal articles as well as facilitates, supports and lures users into uploading and downloading unauthorized materials. A similar lawsuit was filed in Germany in 2017.
Many librarians may be surprised to learn that RG is a for-profit firm located in Germany. It was founded in 2008 as a large social networking site that focuses on the academic community. According to RG's website, it has over 15 million members who can upload their papers and meeting presentations. It has been funded by science funders and investors. It has raised more than $87 million from the Welcome Trust charity, Goldman Sachs and Bill Gates personally.
Prior to filing the suit, publishers worked through the International Association of Scientific Technical and Medical Publishers and asked RG to agree to a voluntary scheme to regulate article sharing, but the company refused. According to the complaint, the suit "is not about researchers and scientists collaborating, asking and answering questions; promoting themselves, their projects, or their findings; or sharing research findings, raw data, or pre-prints of articles." Instead, it focuses on RG's "intentional misconduct vis-à-vis online file-sharing / download service, where the dissemination of unauthorized copies … constitutes an enormous infringement of the copyrights owned by ACS, Elsevier and other journal publishers." The complaint asks the court to order RG to cease reproducing or distributing material under copyright by ACS or Elsevier and to delete all unauthorized infringing copies from its servers. Additionally, publishers seek damages of $150,000 per work infringed.
Critiques of the complaint are many. For example, the complaint makes little mention of the authors of these articles and what rights these authors might have. For example, are any of the author's government employees producing the works within the scope of their employment who had no right to transfer the copyright to a publisher? Were any of the authors subject to university open access policies? Were any authors the subject of an open access mandate from a funder? Or had authors paid for open access for any of these articles?

Patent pool One-Blue and several licensors file suit against Imation over Blu-ray patents
By Essential Patent Blog on May 24, 2013
Posted in Complaints, District Courts, Litigation
This past Wednesday, the Blu-ray patent pool One-Blue, LLC and several of its licensors (Philips, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Sony) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Delaware district court, accusing Imation Corp. of infringing several patents that are either essential or related to the Blu-ray Disc Assocation's (BDA) Blu-ray standards.
[One-Blue v Imation Complaint]
The plaintiffs allege that Imation has made, used, sold, offered for sale, and imported products such as Blu-ray discs that display the official BDA logo — demonstrating that these products are compliant with the Blu-ray standards. The plaintiffs request damages to compensate for Imation's alleged infringement, including treble damages for what the plaintiffs deem to be willful infringement, as well as costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees. The complaint does not include a request for an injunction, however.
The complaint states that "Plaintiffs' pioneering inventions became the foundation for the establishment and adoption of the Blu-ray Standard," and that the patents-at-issue were incorporated into the Blu-ray Standard. The patents-in-suit are as follows:
U.S. Patent No. 7,290,272, titled "Optical Data Recording Disc With Protrusion Between Clamping Area And Center Hole" and assigned to Panasonic
U.S. Patent No. 7,292,509, titled "Recording Disc And Apparatus And Method For Reproducing Recorded Information" and assigned to Pioneer
U.S. Patent No. 7,123,567, titled "Recording Technique With Particular Bit-Distance Control In The Synchronization Pattern" and assigned to Sony
U.S. Patent No. 7,349,309, titled "Disk Recording Medium Having ID Recorded Over A Circle Of A Burst Cutting Area" and assigned to Sony
U.S. Patent No. 7,158,472, titled "Record Carrier And Apparatus For Scanning The Record Carrier" and assigned to Philips and Sony
The section of the complaint dealing with the One-Blue patent pool states that "[e]ach of the patents asserted by Plaintiffs in this action is contained in the Patent Pool and five of the six asserted patents have been deemed essential to the Blu-ray Standard by an independent patent evaluator. The sixth is a related patent." But the complaint also states separately for each asserted patent that it "has been deemed essential to the Blu-ray Standard by an independent patent evaluator," so it's unclear which patent may only be "related" to the standard.
Oh, and if you're wondering about FRAND obligations, that's a good question. Clause 16 of the Blu-ray Disc Association Bylaws includes language that requires members to grant licenses to Blu-ray essential patents on RAND terms. The bylaws also provide that "the aggregate of terms and conditions of all licenses necessary under the Members' Essential Patents shall not block, frustrate, or harm" acceptance of the Blu-ray standard as a commercially viable technology. The BDA website lists each of the owners of the patents-in-suit as a member of the BDA Board of Directors, and Imation as a "general member." Presumably, the plaintiffs believe that the rates charged by the One-Blue pool — which vary between 7.25 cents and 16 cents per Blu-ray compatible disc — fall within the RAND framework. It will be interesting to see how their damages claims line up with the pool royalties, should this case ever get that far.
[UPDATE] As pointed out by an astute reader, Clause 16(5) of the BDA Bylaws also mandates that disputes over whether licenses to Blu-ray-essential patents are being offered on FRAND are to be decided "by a single neutral arbitrator appointed under the International Rules of the American Arbitration Association and will be conducted under the rules of that Association in New York City" — and there's no mention of such an arbitration in the complaint. However, Clause 28 of the BDA Bylaws also provides that:
Notwithstanding the foregoing and the mandatory arbitration addressing licensing terms and conditions set forth in Clause 16(5) hereof, nothing in the Bylaws shall preclude any Member at any time from seeking an injunction, damages, or any other legal relief available under applicable laws against any other Member or Ex-Member or third party for intellectual property infringement.
So it may be that nothing prevents the plaintiffs from filing their infringement claims at this point — but if Imation raises FRAND defenses, it would not be surprising to see it seek to stay or dismiss the case pending resolution of the licensing dispute in a New York City arbitrator's office. [/UPDATE]

Luis's son Chiqui likes to get in on some good Bass Fishing. He really enjoys targeting the Peacock Bass. While getting out early from high school during final exams, Chiqui would go home and hit the lakes and canals near his house. He prefers to catch the fish on artificial but he does catch live bait from time to time. Most of these fish were caught on artificial. On one of these trips his Dad Luis joined him and caught a Big Peacock. Many people think these Peacocks are always willing to eat but that's not always the case. Sometimes you have to really work to get their attention, and sometimes even your best effort may not be enough that day.

Miscellaneous Application No. MA/364/2015 in Complaint Case No. CC/414 of 2014. Case: Marooti Filling Station Vs Galaxy Outdoor Advertising Solutions Pvt. Ltd.. West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Case Number Miscellaneous Application No. MA/364/2015 in Complaint Case No. CC/414 of 2014
Counsel For Appellant: G. Sinha, Advocate
Judges Debasis Bhattacharya, Presiding Member and Jagannath Bag, Member
Issue Consumer Protection Act, 1986 - Section 2(1)(d)
Citation III (2015) CPJ 27 (WB)
Judgement Date June 22, 2015
Court West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Debasis Bhattacharya, Presiding Member
Today is fixed for passing order in respect of the MA filed by the OP No. 4 agitating maintainability of the instant complaint case.
By such petition, it is stated by the OP No. 4 that the instant complaint is not maintainable for the simple fact that the Complainant is not a 'consumer' as per provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. In this case, the Complainant is a Private Limited Company and the commercial activities carried out by it cannot be for its earning livelihood by means of 'self-employment'. A company has to act through somebody and the question of livelihood and self-employment under these circumstances would not and cannot arise.
Learned Advocate for the OP No. 4 has submitted that the Complainant is a Private Limited Company and the commercial activities carried out by it cannot be for its earning livelihood by means of self-employment. A company has to act through somebody and thus, the question of livelihood and self-employment, under these circumstances, would not and cannot arise. The Complainant in its complaint has admitted that the vehicle in question was purchased by the Complainant company for the personal use of its directors. Such admission ratifies the fact that the vehicle was never purchased for personal use of only one Director, but it was used by all the Directors and thus the question of personal use is negated. As such, the Complainant cannot be construed as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, and accordingly, the instant case be dismissed being not maintainable. In support of his contention, the learned Advocate has referred to three decisions of the Hon'ble National Commission, viz., one decision reported in I (2015) CPJ 422 (NC), and the others in R.P. No. 3517/2007 and in Appeal No. 723/2006 and also a decision of this Commission in CC/192/2014.
Learned Advocate for the Complainant has stated that it clarified its position in the petition of complaint that the vehicle was purchased for the personal use of the directors of the Complainant Company. The vehicle has not been purchased for the purpose of resale or for any other commercial purpose. So, there is no infirmity in preferring this complaint case before this Commission which is competent enough to adjudicate such dispute. As such, the petition of the OP No. 4 be rejected. He has referred to two decisions of the Hon'ble National Commission in R.P. No. 3338/2014, and OP... | {

BBC chief Tony Hall says that British content "is under serious threat" in the face of inroads by Netflix and Amazon and that spending on TV programming in the U.K. looks set to fall by as much as £500 million ($661 million) over the next decade.
In a speech to be delivered Thursday night, the head of the world's most renowned and prestigious public broadcaster is expected to say that his organization needs to innovate and reinvent itself to compete with global streamers, whose own outlay on British content will not make up for the looming drop in spending within the U.K.
"We have to face the reality that the British content we value and rely upon is under serious threat," Hall will say at an event in Liverpool. An advance copy of the speech was made available to media outlets.
Hall's warning comes on the heels of comments this week from one of the U.K.'s best-known drama producers that the well of co-production money from Netflix and Amazon is set to run dry. Jane Featherstone, the former Kudos boss who now runs Sister Pictures, said the streaming giants will pull back from co-production and the content they commission out of Britain will narrow in focus.
The BBC generates £3.7 billion ($4.9 billion) in license fee income annually. Netflix will spend about $6 billion on programming this year and more in 2018. The streaming service has commissioned "The Crown" from the U.K. and has several British projects underway, including "Troy" and "Duty/Shame," which are co-productions with the BBC. Amazon has "The Grand Tour" from Britain, its most popular show globally.
Hall's remarks will echo Featherstone's concern that uniquely British stories will fall by the wayside as the global SVOD players make their production choices. "The reality is that their investment decisions are likely to focus increasingly on a narrow range of very expensive, very high-end content – big bankers that they can rely on to have international appeal and attract large global audiences," Hall is expected to say.
His comments will be underpinned by the findings of research commissioned by the BBC into programming challenges in the current media landscape. The report by London-based consultancy Mediatique acknowledges the investments made by Sky and BT in British sports rights and programming but says these will not cover the gap. | {

Q: Should single scrapy crawler process speed without limit be as fast as multiple crawler processes speed? I have set CONCURRENT_REQUESTS,CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_DOMAIN
and CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_IP to be 1,000,000 but it just cannot be as fast as running multiple crawler processes, each processing part of a list of urls. Is that to be expected? In fact, if I run 8 crawler processes then the speed is about 8x faster.
I am not sure what I am configuring wrong. I would expect a single crawler process without any rate limit to run at the maximum speed possible, so it should be as fast as running 8 crawler processes.

In mathematics, in the realm of abstract algebra, a radical polynomial is a multivariate polynomial over a field that can be expressed as a polynomial in the sum of squares of the variables. That is, if
is a polynomial ring, the ring of radical polynomials is the subring generated by the polynomial
Radical polynomials are characterized as precisely those polynomials that are invariant under the action of the orthogonal group.
The ring of radical polynomials is a graded subalgebra of the ring of all polynomials.
The standard separation of variables theorem asserts that every polynomial can be expressed as a finite sum of terms, each term being a product of a radical polynomial and a harmonic polynomial. This is equivalent to the statement that the ring of all polynomials is a free module over the ring of radical polynomials.

Please let us have a change of the agriculture portfolio!
Posted on November 7, 2009 by V.Isvarmurti
New situations demand new ideas and new radical thinking in policy making!
There are radical developments on the agricultural front!
Yet Indian agriculture policy has become very much out of date!
The world economic crisis has led to crisis in agriculture sector. Our agri exports are declining. Sensitive items, namely even the critical India-origin items like milk and milk power we are importing! We import sugar!
Our sugarcane farmers refuse to plant sugarcane!
Something radically wrong with our policy makers. So, please replace the current incumbent at the Krishi Bhavan!
Agriculture portfolio must be split into three separate subjects. Co-operative credit must be streamlined. There must be ways to save farmers from debt. They must be relieved from the burden of the debts.
Ministers must tour the country intensively and directly interact with farmers.
Now, there is this tendency, this bogus showmanship of austerity and we don't know where the ministers travel. We only see them travelling abroad, not inside the country. Even national calamities like massive floods, as in Karnataka and Andhra don't see the ministers from their respective states not coming down from the heights of New Delhi mansions!
They are as busy and as routine-minded as if they suddenly became civil servants, civil servant types!
Minister doesn't display any new ideas. They don't display any understanding of the issues, more so in the farming sector, more so at the grassroots level. There are international talks on climate change and global warming. Experts say that they would have great impact on agriculture. Greenhouse gases, global warming would be accentuated by farming, more intensive farming means more environmental impact and in turn agriculture, farmers in particular would become victims of these current concerns.
But no one in the policy making circles, be it the Prime Minister or the agriculture minister or others talk of why agriculture is outside the agenda on the high table, so to say!
Agriculture is estimated to give rise to 14 per cent of the total annual harmful gas emissions. Jairam Ramesh is everywhere but not concerned with agriculture. How can you protect or reforest or prevent deforestation by simply operating out of the very large agricultural base. These are some of the issues in the shortsightedness of policy making in India.
Then there are the trade negotiations. How much we would make progress on gain from the WTO trade talk rounds? What is the state of the EU-India Free Trade talks?
EU seems to be talking much politics, issues directly that don't concern agriculture, the poor farmers and then the EU seems to deploy this ploy to pressurise India to give in to its terms of the trade.
Then, there are the latest challenges from the broader and the international front.
The FDI flows into agriculture. There is a radical shift in the terms of the agriculture giving the new thrust to investments.
A new range of countries, from oil-rich Saudi Arabia and UAE, natural resources poor South Korea and even over-populated China and India are all going out and purchasing huge tracts of land, mostly from poor Africa and this spells a new trend, huge investments flowing into agriculture as a new sources of big wealth creation.
This directly impacts the agriculture sector as we have known it raditionally. For food crops farming.
What about food security as a national policy for many countries? Food security itself is now changing its meaning and significance.
It is not growing enough food and stocking it, it is also distributing food equitably.
There are distressing reports about children malnutrition.
Twenty five million more children will go hungry by the middle of this century, warns the UN Secretary General. So too FAO warns about likely food shortages.
The food prices have risen and they won't go down. If at all they are predicted to go up further. Food prices rising are not just a matter for economics. It is a serious matter for political stability of many countries; there have been food riots in many countries, from Haiti to Thailand.
Leaders at the recent G-20 summit in Pittsburgh committed 2 bn dollars for food security and the UN is set to hold a summit on food security in November, its second since last year's riots.
Food prices crisis, food shortages, food prices rise. These are the new developments and we have to learn to understand and analyse and educate and inform and make people, make farmers ready to understand and respond suitably.
Farmers have to be cared for by the governments, by the international agencies and also by the experts who so far have been confined to talk glibly about the out of one crop and the prices stability and so on.
Politicians at the state levels are simply blind to the larger picture.
They just announce the most populistic and the most irresponsible social policies that pay at the election hustings but they also help to ruin further and bring misery to the farmers. Indian farmers are notoriously in deep debts, they seem to be irrecoverable and owning land and also engaged in agriculture seems to be the sure way to permanent ruin of families.
Is this the way to talk of farming? But it is like this in the country. But one thing is sure. Farming can't be left to farmers, can't be left to politicians who don't understand issues. You have to relax land reform laws. Otherwise the private investments, private entrepreneurship would migrate to foreign countries in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere, even to Burma and Indonesia so that large-scale agribusiness type operations are easy.
So, what is the answer from the policy makers? Why keep mum? For whose benefit?
We like to ask our policy makers!
Even we demand there is a change in the agriculture portfolio. How long can we put up with inaction on the part of the government? | {

Kindness makes you happy, happiness makes you kind.
I came from a broken family, broke and almost dropped out of school. But I managed myself to work while continuing to pursue higher education so that my fate can be changed. Currently working as a lecturer, coach, and counselor for companies in the areas of leadership, education, and general management. I am also a social worker trying to help parents in their marriage and parenting. In my spare time, I try to inspire poor children to pursue higher education. My dream is to have a home that can become shelter for abandoned children.

BEMIDJI, Minn. -- A Minnesota family has filed a lawsuit against a restaurant for what it is calling a fatal mistake.
The family says it was told the establishment's pancakes were dairy-free. Their son had a severe dairy allergy and died after a meal at the restaurant.
"Four o'clock in the morning during hunting season -- 'We gotta go. We are late,'" his father, Steve Johnson, said.
The family's lawsuit explains what they say happened next. Cindy Johnson asked the server if the restaurant's gluten-free pancakes were also dairy-free. The server reported they were, after checking with the cook.
Cindy then told the server the grill would have to be cleaned before her son's pancakes were made. Scott's mom and sisters watched him eat two pancakes, thinking they were fine.
"He had just finished and he said, 'We have to go now,'" Cindy Johnson said.
Scott forgot to bring his EpiPen and nebulizer to the restaurant — the tools he had used before to open his lungs and help him through an allergic reaction.
"I was 18 miles off the highway when I got the call," Steve Johnson said.
On a road construction job two hours away, Steve got word his son would be air-lifted to Fargo, Minn. | {

Dangerously violent offender 'who poses risk to the public' battered unconscious man until he stopped breathing in graveyard attack
Dangerous offender attacked man in Bournemouth graveyard
A 'DANGEROUSLY violent' offender battered a man so badly he stopped breathing while horrified witnesses looked on.
Mobile phone video of the attack, which took place in the graveyard of St Peter's Church, Bournemouth, showed Kevin McDermott repeatedly circling his unconscious victim before kicking him in the head.
The footage also captured the screams of an onlooker who begged McDermott, 26, to stop.
Police rushed to the graveyard at 5.15pm on April 15 this year. One, PC Bowes, gave victim Karl Burns CPR until the air ambulance landed nearby.
Mr Burns was rushed to Southampton General Hospital in a life-threatening condition. Yesterday, a court heard he will continue to need treatment and support after suffering several bleeds to the brain, a fracture at the base of his skull and fractures to both sides of his jaw.
Tom Wright, prosecuting at Bournemouth Crown Court, said Mr Burns, 51, was unconscious and "completely helpless" when McDermott kicked and stamped on his head. A teenage girl also briefly joined the attack by kicking Mr Burns in the legs, it was alleged.
The two had been drinking heavily together when they became involved in a disagreement. Mr Burns then smashed a bottle over the back of McDermott's head, leaving a deep wound which required seven stitches.
McDermott retaliated by punching Mr Burns so hard he passed out on hitting the ground. The defendant, of Gardens View in Southcote Road, Springbourne, then launched his savage attack.
Mr Wright said the victim's "long-term prognosis" remains "unclear". However, some neurological damage may be attributable to his use of drink and drugs, it was heard.
Timothy Compton, mitigating, alleged the initial row broke out over Mr Burns' behaviour towards a 16-year-old girl who was sleeping rough.
"The defendant is a classic example of a person with a traumatic childhood compensating for some of the trauma through misuse of substances, and particularly alcohol," Mr Compton said.
"A number of down-and-outs were in a local churchyard drinking. As a result of a conversation between Mr McDermott and the victim, the victim took offence. He then struck Mr McDermott from behind with a bottle."
McDermott, who already has some 34 court appearances for 71 offences, admitted committing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The court heard most of his previous convictions relate to "relatively low-key anti-social behaviour", although he's also committed at least ten assaults, many of which were against police officers.
Judge Robert Pawson said McDermott attacked Mr Burns for at least 45 seconds while the victim was unconscious and unable to defend himself. The incident involved some seven kicks, at least three stamps to his head and three punches, the court heard.
"You left the body and went back to it on two occasions," the judge told the defendant.
"You were intoxicated when you know that exacerbates your mental conditions."
As a result of the ferocity of the attack, Judge Pawson said he believes McDermott is dangerous, a legal definition which means the defendant represents a risk of serious harm to the public.
McDermott was sentenced to seven years in prison, of which he must serve at least two-thirds before a parole board can consider his release. He will then serve a further two years on licence.
At the end of the hearing, Judge Pawson hailed PC Bowes' behaviour as "exemplary" and said it may well have saved Mr Burns' life. | {

Lions savor victory over Michigan
Philip Cmor
Assistant Sports Editor
[email protected]
By Philip Cmor
UNIVERSITY PARK — James Franklin met with the media and uttered a phrase similar to one he's said after every game as Penn State football coach, albeit a little later in the evening because of the late kickoff.
He asked for the time. It was 11:23 p.m.
"So we've got 37 minutes to enjoy this win. I'm not talking about the next opponent and enjoy the heck out of this win for 37 minutes," Franklin said.
You get the feeling Franklin and his Lions were going to savor that 37 minutes. It seemed they'd waited a year for it.
Michigan embarrassed the Lions last year in Ann Arbor, winning by 39 points. Now, the shoe was on the other foot, and Penn State was laser-focused in Saturday night's 42-13 rout of the visiting Wolverines in the return match at Beaver Stadium.
"I think we definitely played with a chip on our shoulder, being the result of last year," said linebacker Jason Cabinda, who made 13 tackles and forced a fumble.
You could see it in Cabinda's demeanor in the closing minutes, as he watched the second and third team defense try to thwart Michigan's final drive with the same kind of intensity he might have in the second quarter of a tie game, not one with the teams separated by 29 points.
Or you could see it in Saquon Barkley's visage. Usually jovial on the sideline when the winner has been determined, he didn't crack a smile until partway into the on-field interview after the game.
And there was Trace McSorley, fighting and pushing his way the final 2 yards to complete a 9-yard touchdown run that set the final with a little less than half a quarter to play.
"We definitely came in focused and determined to play our best game," defensive tackle Kevin Givens said. "Last year, we felt that that wasn't our best game, going up to Michigan. We wanted to show everybody that that wasn't what Penn State was."
Penn State didn't try to run it up, but they didn't exactly let up on the pedal either, snapping the ball for one last attempt to add another touchdown with 3 seconds on the clock.
Had the Nittany Lions scored there, it would have been the most lopsided defeat Michigan has sustained since Jim Harbaugh became coach — the Wolverines lost to Ohio State by an identical 42-13 count in 2015.
"During the week, not so much, but we said it a couple of times tonight, getting juices flowing. That's a quick way of getting guys going," McSorley said of using the 2016 loss as motivation. "Towards the end of the game, we brought it up. It wasn't necessarily, 'let's put it on them.' It was more 'let's keep working, let's keep doing what we're doing, let's not let up.'"
Since the Buckeyes squashed Michigan that day, the Wolverines had lost four times by a total of nine points. This one really wasn't going to be in doubt, though, after Penn State shrugged off Michigan's second-quarter comeback attempt and pushed the lead back to 28-13 in the third quarter.
The Lions carved up Michigan's vaunted defense, scoring more points in a half than the Wolverines had allowed in any game this season. Penn State more than doubled Michigan's yards-against average coming in.
Senior guard Brendan Mahon said this was an opportunity to leave a receipt that the Lions weren't about to let slip away.
"One hundred percent," Mahon said. "They were coming into our house. Seven-thirty game. We don't want to disappoint all these fans. We filled the place with 110,000 crazy Penn State fans. It's a hard environment to play in for Michigan's offense. The fans helped."
Penn State was at a big disadvantage the last time the teams met, with six defensive starters out. Then Brandon Smith got thrown out for targeting and walk-on Jan Johnson was injured.
This time, it was Michigan playing on the road with a plethora of new starters. There was no Jabrill Peppers out there for the Wolverines this time. The star power and experience were on Penn State's side, as were the memories.
"I think (last year's game) made a huge impact," defensive lineman Ryan Buchholz said. "The starters and the guys who played a lot, it was pretty hard on them. After that, we were pretty determined to make a comeback."
The Lions have done that and more. That was Penn State's last regular-season loss, winning 15 straight after the debacle in Ann Arbor. The Nittany Lions have risen from the ashes and now are the second-ranked team in the country heading into a showdown with Ohio State in Columbus next week.
The rout at Michigan might very well have been the spark that triggered the rebirth of Penn State football as a national power.
"That game was rock bottom," McSorely said. "Everyone was embarrassed. We thought we had been working hard then entire time. To have it end like that was tough to swallow. We had to swallow our pride and realize we weren't working to the standard we needed to be. We wanted to compete at the highest level in the Big Ten, which, at that time, was where Michigan was.
"You can't just turn it on on Saturdays. It has to start on Sundays and Mondays. Since then, we really embraced that."
And, on Saturday, that embrace settled an old score showing the wounds have healed in a positive way.

Yep, you read it right! Next week the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), Bank of England (BOE), European Central Bank (ECB), and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) are all scheduled to release their interest rate decisions.
The RBA will start the ball rolling on Tuesday at 3:30 am GMT. After the RBA dispelled interest rate cut rumors on its last monetary policy minutes, market players are now waiting to see how the central bank will balance global economic growth concerns and the inflationary pressures from Australia's booming mining industry.
On Thursday at 11:00 am GMT the spotlight will turn to the BOE's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) Analysts are expecting the BOE's interest rate to remain at 0.50%, but word around the hood is that the central bank is ready to increase its quantitative easing program by at least 50 billion GBP this month. Has Adam Posen finally convinced enough blokes to join his wolf pack?
At 11:45 am GMT on Thursday the ECB will be the one to take center stage. The report will be closely watched not only because there have been talks of an interest rate cut, but also because the ECB conference at 12:30 pm GMT will be Jean Claude Trichet's last interest rate speech as the ECB President. Will he go out with a bang and announce a rate cut, or will he leave the fireworks to Mario Draghi, the next ECB head honcho?
Last, but definitely not the least is the BOJ's decision set to be revealed on Friday at 12:00 am GMT. The central bank is expected to keep its rates below 0.10% in October, but market geeks are waiting to see if it also plans to inject more money in the markets like it did last month in the wake of a Chuck Norris-like performance of the yen.
Financial problems in the euro zone have long dominated the markets, and it doesn't look like next week will be any exception. After Slovenia, Finland, and Germany approved the expansion of the EFSF, traders are now shifting their focus back to Greece.
Many say that the troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund) is expected to release its assessment of the Greek economy next week, which might provide a few answers to the questions about Greece's next tranche of bailout package. But considering how long the European officials have been sitting on the euro zone's debt problem, others aren't expecting any concrete progress next week. Can the European officials lift the euro with optimistic speeches?
While the markets' attention will most likely stay in the euro zone next week, the U.S. economy has a few shots at stealing the spotlight when its top-tier economic reports are released. Aside from its ISM manufacturing and services PMI reports on Monday at 2:00 pm GMT and Wednesday at 2:00 pm GMT respectively, the U.S. non-farm payrolls (NFP) report will also be released on Friday at 12:30 pm GMT together with the country's unemployment rate.
Next week traders are expecting the NFP report to show a 50,000 increase in employment after printing a big fat zero in August. We might see increased demand for high-yielding currencies if the report prints better than analysts expected, but if it disappoints significantly, then we might hear more speculations of a QE3 from the Fed AND see another round of risk aversion in markets.
There you have it folks! Are you planning on trading any of these market themes? Whatever you choose, just make sure you practice good trade management, alright? Oh, and if you want to step up your trading skills, why don't you check out what your fellow forex geeks are planning?

The leak specifically references an audit performed of the Tribe's 2016 financial statements, related accounting records, and internal controls in accordance with Federal requirements. The results of this audit indicated that there were financial reporting, accounting, and internal control areas that needed improvement. The "needs improvement" finding is a common outcome for audit reports at many organizations. Once notified of these audit findings, the Tribe and its management immediately developed and is implementing corrective action measures to effectively address each audit finding. Our tribal government, which retains an outside accounting firm with expertise in tribal government finances, is committed to strengthening its financial reporting, accounting, and internal control processes, with a goal of future audits being free from any findings of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
It is important to note that auditors found no instances of financial impropriety or findings of violations, or possible findings of violations of laws or regulations.
Lastly, in reference to a comment made about a tribal employee, we do not comment on confidential personnel matters. | {

Judge: Obesity suit against Air Canada OK
MONTREAL, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A Quebec judge ruled obese passengers who were charged extra when they flew Air Canada may file a class-action lawsuit against the carrier.
David Bourgoin, a lawyer with the Montreal law firm BGA Barristers & Solicitors, announced the ruling Monday saying the case is aimed at reclaiming fees Air Canada charged allegedly obese travelers passengers for a second seat or a seat for an attendant for a three-year time span ending in December 2008, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The practice was outlawed in January 2008 by the Canadian Transportation Agency that mandated Canada's major air carriers offer a single fare to persons with disabilities, including the severely obese, who need a two-seat accommodation, the CBC said.
The ruling also said disabled people traveling with medical attendants seated next to them did not have to pay for an extra seat.
A similar case against the airline WestJet was disallowed because the plaintiff who represented the class did not qualify as a member of the class. The BGA law firm has 30 days to find a qualified representative or the case will expire, Bourgoin said.

I reckon they should make the loot more valuable, cause I go to heaps of trouble checking everwhere for loot, and then I go to the next mission, and I can barley get anything with it.
I agree. What I'd really like to see are guards noticing that stuff is missing on their next round.
Heh, then they can have amusing conversations with themselves.
"oh the master is going to fire me for sure if he finds out this is missing."
I do think they should notice it when you cut one of the banners down.
Nah, I likr to play the game as if it were a real life situation. I think Garrett would definately be interested in the value of his loot, it is after all his livelyhood.
I think make loot values more realistic. So a golden plate may be worth a little compared to say a ruby or jewelled tiara.
I think unseen's original point wasn't so much about the numbers in the loot scores, as about the fact that it doesn;t allow you to buy much. So if you were to raise the value of the loot but also the prices in the store, that concern wouldn't be addressed, for example.
I think the balance of the game is set up very carefully though, unseen. If you could buy out everything in the shop, then you'd tend to rely on, e.g., gas arrowing every guard in a mission, rather than blackjacking or sneaking.
I think if you want to buy more, that actually suggests to me that there are gameplay areas and skills you could explore to use less stuff: many of the most expert players end missions with heaps of stuff left.
So as I say, it's a game balance issue, and if they made the numbers bigger then they probably *would* also make the prices higher, so you have to choose between various bits of kit in preparing for a mission, rather than just buy the lot.
How about some global economics? I.e., you are ecstatic because you ended a mission with 6000 in loot, and you just know you are going to be able to by 20 gas arrows in the next mission.
Only trouble is, to your shock and dismay, the next mission is set in a city where the dollar isn't as valuable, and you can only get a few water arrows at best for your 6000.
Or they only take Euros.
Yeah, man! I went to Canada and the normal $5.00 McDonald's meal was like $600.00!
Anyway... I have no point here. I'm happy though - conferences in Hawaii are *way* more affordable this way than with the Canadian at 65 cents!
I think it's realistic that Garretts equipment costs a lot. It's highly unlikely that the City watch would encourage the sale of gas arrows and land mines etc. So it would be necessarry to smuggle them in which increases the mark-up. Plus the danger to shop keepers of selling banned materials to undesirables would further encourage an increase in final sale price. | {

Airtel Triggers 5G War: Becomes 1st Telco To Test 5G Network; Claims 10X More Speed Without Changing SIM
By Pratyancha Dhore Last updated Jan 29, 2021
We had reported earlier that Reliance Jio is all set to carry out test the 5G speeds. But the recent news suggests that while Reliance Jio is running ahead in the race of achieving the 5th generation speed, Bharti Airtel is not far behind.
The second largest telecom company in India, Airtel, is not only planning to give a tough competition to Jio but it is also aiming to break its monopoly by being the main 5G provider in India. Looking at this battle it seems like the 5G airwaves auction is going to be very heated whenever it is announced by the government.
Has Airtel Already Tested Its 5G Network?
After Mukesh Ambani promised to launch its 5G network in the later half of next year, Airtel is also gearing up to bring 5G to the Indian audience.
Reportedly, Airtel has already performed 5G tests using 1800MHz bandwidth on its 4G network in Hyderabad. The telco also claimed that it can provide 5G service with the help of 4G band but said that it will wait for the government to release 5G airwaves.
What Is Stopping Airtel From Releasing Its 5G services?
The Chief executive at Airtel, Gopal Vittal, is positive that his company is prepared enough to provide 5G service commercially. He assured that whenever Airtel will provide 5G service it won't be just a marketing stunt but provide actual full power 5G speed.
Nevertheless, he also said that the telecom operator believes in delivering experience.Therefore, even though 5G can be generated using 1800, 2300 and 2100 MHz frequency, the company will wait for the release of mid-band so that 5G can be delivered to its true potential.
Moreover, Vittal also stressed on the fact that since the company has been working for an entire year, implementing 5G is just a 'flick of a button'. Still waiting for an adequate 5G spectrum is wiser than releasing the high speed service in this current matured 4G ecosystem.
What Are The Challenges That Airtel Can Face?
According to the Partner and head of Analysys Mason, Rohan Dhamija, the biggest issue for Airtel while establishing 5G network will be updating all its current 4G websites to comply with 5G service. He also added that this will require the telco to invest a lot of time and capital expenditure.
On the contrary, Airtel claims that this won't be the problem for it as its websites are already capacity to support 5G services. The chief technology officer of Airtel, Randeep Sekhon, shared that the company also has around a million active 5G devices priced around Rs 25,000 in its network.
However, he also affirmed that to target the masses the price range of these devices will have to be reduced to Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. The reason for which 4G got accepted widely was because of its affordability. Hence, Airtel is ready to work with all the device partners to bring 5G smartphones and make them support the changing spectrum.
In addition to this, Vittal also expressed the need for acceptance of a global 5G standard natively made in India since it will open doors for more innovation.
What Is Airtel Experimenting with?
According to the authorities, Airtel is also collaborating with several companies to explore the OpenRAN technology and 3GPP-approved NSA (Non-Stand Alone) and SA (Stand Alone) to introduce 5G at lower cost in India. On the other hand, Jio is rooting up to SA to deploy 5G.
The prices of 5G services are unknown as of now since it is too soon to predict. Looking at the current race of telecoms, one thing that can be assured is that high speed 5G service is going to hit the market very soon.

NGC 4451 est une galaxie spirale relativement rapprochée et située dans la constellation de la Vierge. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de , ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de . Elle a été découverte par l'astronome prussien Heinrich Louis d'Arrest en 1865.
La classe de luminosité de NGC 4451 est II-III et elle présente une large raie HI. Elle renferme également des régions d'hydrogène ionisé.
À ce jour, plus d'une vingtaine de mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est loin à l'extérieur des valeurs de la distance de Hubble. Cette galaxie, comme plusieurs de l'amas de la Vierge, est relativement rapprochée du Groupe local et on obtient souvent une distance de Hubble très différente en raison de leur mouvement propre dans le groupe où dans l'amas où elles sont situées. La distance de est sans doute plus près de la réalité. Selon ces deux mesures, NGC 4451 se dirige vers le centre de l'amas en direction de la Voie lactée. Notons que c'est avec la valeur moyenne des mesures indépendantes, lorqu'elles existent, que la base de données NASA/IPAC calcule le diamètre d'une galaxie.
Supernova
La supernova SN 1985G a été découverte dans NGC 4451 le 21 avril par un certain Shigo Horiguchi. Cette supernova était de type II.
Groupes de M49, de M60 et l'amas de la Vierge
Selon A.M. Garcia, NGC 4451 est une des nombreuses galaxies du groupe de M49 (127 au total), qu'il a décrit dans un article publié en 1993. On retrouve dans cette liste 63 galaxies du New General Catalogue dont NGC 4382 (M85), NGC 4472 (M49), NGC 4649 (M60) ainsi que 20 galaxies de l'Index Catalogue.
D'autre part, NGC 4451 apparait aussi dans une liste de 227 galaxies d'un article publié par Abraham Mahtessian en 1998. Cette liste comporte plus de 200 galaxies du New General Catalogue et une quinzaine de galaxies de l'Index Catalogue. On retrouve dans cette liste 10 autres galaxies du Catalogue de Messier, soit M49, M58, M60, M61, M85, M87, M88, M91, M99 et M100.
Toutes les galaxies de la liste de Mahtessian ne constituent pas réellement un groupe de galaxies. Ce sont plutôt plusieurs groupes de galaxies qui font tous partie d'un amas galactique, l'amas de la Vierge. Pour éviter la confusion avec l'amas de la Vierge, on peut donner le nom de groupe de M60 à cet ensemble de galaxies, car c'est l'une des plus brillantes de la liste. L'amas de la Vierge est en effet beaucoup plus vaste et compterait environ 1300 galaxies, et possiblement plus de 2000, situées au cœur du superamas de la Vierge, dont fait partie le Groupe local.
De nombreuses galaxies de la liste de Mahtessian se retrouvent dans onze groupes décrits dans un article d'A.M. Garcia, soit le groupe de NGC 4123 (7 galaxies), le groupe de NGC 4261 (13 galaxies), le groupe de NGC 4235 (29 galaxies), le groupe de M88 (13 galaxies, M88 = NGC 4501), le groupe de NGC 4461 (9 galaxies), le groupe de M61 (32 galaxies, M61 = NGC 4303), le groupe de NGC 4442 (13 galaxies), le groupe de M87 (96 galaxies, M87 = NGC 4486), le groupe de M49 (127 galaxies, M49 = NGC 4472), le groupe de NGC 4535 (14 galaxies) et le groupe de NGC 4753 (15 galaxies). Ces onze groupes font partie de l'amas de la Vierge et ils renferment 396 galaxies. Certaines galaxies de la liste de Mahtessian ne figurent cependant dans aucun des groupes de Garcia et vice versa.

La Danseuse es el nombre de una película francesa dirigida por Stéphanie Di Giusto en 2016.
Sinopsis
Nada destinaba a Loïe Fuller, oriunda del oeste de Estados Unidos, a convertirse en un icono de la Belle Époque y mucho menos en bailarina del teatro de la Ópera de París. A pesar de sufrir dolores de espalda y de tener los ojos dañados por las luces del teatro, no dejará de perfeccionar su danza. Sin embargo, la llegada de Isadora Duncan, joven prodigiosa sedienta de éxito, precipitará su caída.

Recepción de la crítica
La película no ha alcanzado la totalidad de críticas positivas:
"Un debut fresco y bien equipado, pero muy insípido para la guionista y directora Stephanie De Giusto." dijo Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter.
"Aunque 'La bailarina' no presenta virtudes excepcionales, su puesta en escena consigue dar cierta idea del esfuerzo ejercido por su protagonista. (...) Puntuación: ★★½ (sobre 5)" dijo Yago García: Cinemanía.

Huawei releases 300 Mb/s FTTD solution delivering superfast copper access
[Stockholm, Sweden, February 19, 2014]: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today released a 300 Mb/s fiber-to-the-door (FTTD) solution. Through frequency band adjustment and encoding scheme optimization, the solution achieves a broadband access rate of up to 300 Mb/s over copper.
FTTD is favored by operators as a cost-effective and quick FTTx solution, due to its ability to reuse existing copper resources without requiring fiber infrastructure reconstruction to households. FTTD typically uses VDSL2 or vectoring technology to provide 100 Mb/s access over copper. However, with the emergence of the smart home, Internet of Things, and 4K/8K video services, there is an increasing demand from high-end subscribers for faster access rates.
Huawei's 300Mb/s FTTD solution can achieve up to 250 Mb/s downstream and 50 Mb/s upstream by increasing downstream frequency band offerings and employing a higher-efficiency encoding scheme which provides more reliable line quality. The significant enhancement in access speeds requires only a minor adaptation of O&M systems and software upgrades in customer premises equipment (CPE).
"Huawei is dedicated to customer-centric innovation. The 300 Mb/s FTTD solution fully utilizes the existing infrastructure to deliver outstanding access speeds, helping operators gain competitive advantages in the broadband access market," said Mr. You Yiyong, President of Huawei's Access Network Product Line.
Traditional copper networks are important resources for operators and Huawei has been committed to innovation in copper access technologies, with achievements including the industry's first FTTD solution launched in February 2013, the industry's first G.fast trial with BT in September 2013, and the world's largest-capacity vectoring solution (896-line access) released in October 2013. Huawei's access network solutions now serve over 1/3 of the world's broadband subscribers. According to market research firm Infonetics, Huawei's DSL market share has ranked No. 1 for nine consecutive years as of Q3 2013.

Q: Vue - Log something when scroll to the bottom of the page I want to log something to the console log when user scroll down to the page. So for that I am using this method on my vue application:
scroll () {
window.onscroll = () => {
let bottomOfWindow = Math.max(window.pageYOffset, document.documentElement.scrollTop, document.body.scrollTop) + window.innerHeight === document.documentElement.offsetHeight
if (bottomOfWindow) {
console.log( 'bottom')
}
}
},
You can see I just log a text called bottom.
Now whne the page load,
*
*I scroll down to the page but nothing log.
*But when I scroll to top then that message is log
Why?
A: In the javascript version, it's working properly. Maybe you should try something like this.
mounted() {
window.addEventListener('scroll', () => this.scroll());
},
methods: {
scroll() {
let bottomOfWindow = Math.max(window.pageYOffset, document.documentElement.scrollTop, document.body.scrollTop) + window.innerHeight === document.documentElement.offsetHeight
if (bottomOfWindow) {
console.log( 'bottom')
}
}
}
window.onscroll = () => {
let bottomOfWindow = Math.max(window.pageYOffset, document.documentElement.scrollTop, document.body.scrollTop) + window.innerHeight === document.documentElement.offsetHeight
if (bottomOfWindow) {
console.log('bottom')
}
}

In this hard-hitting book, Richard V. Pierard examines the growing affinity between evangelical Christianity and political and economic conservatism that was occurring in the 1960s, and eloquently appeals for a dissolution of these unwarranted ties.
The Christian faith stresses love for one's neighbor, selflessness, humility, and peacemaking, virtues which are at variance with the practices of the right. Pierard's critique of the linkage of Christianity with American nationalism, militarism, and capitalism is as relevant today as it was 35 years ago.
By bringing this unfortunate situation into the open, he hopes to encourage evangelical leaders to break this "unequal yoke" and unleash the spiritual forces of American evangelicalism for meaningful participation in the growth of world Christianity.
"Richard Pierard's Unequal Yoke is no less relevant today than when it first appeared in 1970, thereby making its author something of a prophet. This was a formative book in the development of my own political consciousness, and I recommend it highly to anyone who is trying to construct a political ethic consistent with the teachings of Jesus."
"A careful analysis by a gifted historian on a topic that is still highly relevant."
"Pierard's trenchant, biblically-based critique of the distortions of the Christian message on the Religious Right remains timely and prophetic, and it deserves an especially wide readership among evangelicals themselves."
"The Unequal Yoke was a prophetic piece when it first appeared and it remains a prophetic piece today. As they did in the last generation, many evangelical Christians today still persist in unequally yoking themselves to right-wing partisan politics, and name of Christ suffers from it. As Pierard correctly notes, the New Testament admonition to avoid the unequal yoke applies to politics as well as marriage and other social relationships."
RICHARD V. PIERARD is Professor Emeritus of History, Indiana State University, Stephen Phillips Professor of History, Gordon College, and Adjunct Professor, Liverpool Hope University (U.K.). He was a Fulbright Professor at the Universities of Frankfurt/Main and Halle-Wittenberg in Germany and a Visiting Professor at the University of Otago, New Zealand. | {

The end of the financial year is upon us and it's time to make sure your tax affairs are in order.
And with multiple tax changes for small business in this year's federal budget, there are more opportunities than normal to maximise your tax savings before June 30.
SmartCompany has asked our resident panel of tax experts for their top EOFY tax tips—and even what to look out for in the year ahead.
So get comfy. Here's SmartCompany's top 20 tips for minimising your tax bill this year.
It was one of the key parts of the $5.5 billion small business package included in this year's budget and according to Theo Sakell, tax partner at Pitcher Partners, the $20,000 asset write-off scheme is "the big one" when it comes to minimising your tax bill before June 30.
The accelerated depreciation measure applies to all asset purchases up to the value of $20,000 for businesses that have annual revenue of up to $2 million. The scheme, which allows businesses to immediately write-off the full value of the asset, can be used multiple times and effectively reduces the amount of tax a business will pay on an asset faster.
Sakell reminds small business owners the scheme applies to all assets acquired after May 12, so it's worth checking if anything you have purchased since budget night will fall under the scheme.
The legislation for this budget measure has been voted on and approved by both houses of the Federal Parliament and so small businesses can be assured the scheme will proceed.
Grant Field, chairman of accounting firm MGI, also reminds small business owners the $20,000 write-off scheme will be in place for three years.
The House of Representatives and the Senate have also passed legislation for the 1.5% company tax cut for incorporated small businesses and the 5% tax discount for small businesses that are not incorporated.
Sakell told SmartCompany this represents an opportunity for businesses that have flexibility as to when they can record income.
"If you derive business sales income, you may be able to defer sales invoicing or bring forward sales invoicing in appropriate circumstances," Sakell explains.
Aside from taking advantage of the $20,000 asset write-off scheme, small businesses should make use of all other deductions at their disposal.
This could involve bringing forward deductible expenses such as repairs and maintenance into the current year or prepaying monthly costs such as rent, electricity, wages and utilities.
Other deductible expenses may include running and occupancy costs associated with operating a home office.
Sakell also recommends business owners seeking to claim work-related car expenses should make sure they record their odometer readings for June 30 and consider using a logbook to document all car expenses, while those who have travelled throughout the year should check if any of the expenses occurred during their trips are deductible and meet the relevant requirements.
"Super is an oldie but a goodie" at tax time, says Field.
Field says business owners should be aware that there has been a "slight increase" in the superannuation concessional contribution limit this year, from $25,000 to $30,000. The limit remains at $35,000 for those aged 49 and over.
Field says the savings to a "typical mum and dad business" that maximises its super contributions can be substantial, as contributions into your super fund are taxed at 15%, rather than closer to 50% if you are paying the top personal income marginal tax rate on those earnings.
"There's still significant savings to be had by maximising your super contributions limits," Field says.
And for those with a self-managed super fund, Field says "transferring surplus wealth into super can be an excellent tax strategy".
Field says individuals can contribute up to $180,000 a year into superannuation as non-deductible contributions and it is possible to bring forward up to three years' worth of contributions, which would give a total of $540,000.
"If a mum and dad each put $540,000 each into a self-managed super fund, that's more than $1 million for the super fund to invest," he says.
It's also important for employers to make sure super contributions for their employees are in order at this time of the year.
If your business' cash flow allows it, bringing forward June quarter Superannuation Guarantee Charge payments one month early could be a worthwhile strategy, says Field.
"You will be paying this by July 28 anyway, so consider bringing it forward and paying it before the end of June," Field says.
Businesses should also be aware of their obligations under the federal government's SuperStream program, which requires super contributions to be made electronically in a standard data set.
Businesses with 20 or more employees previously had until June 30 to be compliant with the new system. However, the Australian Tax Office told SmartCompany this month it will give these businesses until October 31 to be fully compliant. After that time, businesses can expect to be contacted by the ATO if they are not SuperStream compliant.
Small businesses with 20 or fewer employees have until June 30, 2016, to become SuperStream compliant but SuperStream national program manager Phillip Hind told SmartCompany these businesses should not leave it until June next year to get organised.
"Please don't leave it to June because there will be a significant rush, resources will be strained and it might be problematic in that 'pressure cooker' environment," Hind said.
Sakell also recommends business owners consider income earned through interest and dividends at this time of the year.
"For interest received around year-end, examine the timing of interest income closely for tax purposes as interest is typically assessable on a receipts basis," he says.
The assessment of income from dividends is also important to consider.
"Dividends accrued may not be assessable at year-end if they are only declared but not paid," Sakell says.
If you are the beneficiary of a trust, Sakell says it is important that your tax planning takes into account the expected tax distribution you may receive from a trust, as opposed to the expected accounting or cash distribution amount.
On the other hand, if you are making distributions to other entities or individuals from your trust, you need to make sure your resolutions to make the distributions are made and documented before June 30, says Field.
"One of the things that the ATO has been paying attention to in recent years is the issue around trustee obligations," Field says.
"Make sure that the beneficiaries you have identified are eligible under the trust deed before finalising your trust resolutions," Sakell adds.
For business owners that also have family trusts, Sakell also recommends reviewing your family trust election requirements to "protect bad debts, carry forward losses and franking credit flow-through".
"Make sure all new trusts have made an election to be within the family group," he says.
It is one of the biggest tax headaches but the complex Division 7A tax regulations are not something you can avoid at tax time.
Division 7A can affect loans made from a business to directors. The anti-avoidance measures are designed to discourage businesses from distributing loans to shareholders or their associates for personal use and enjoyment.
"You should review Division 7A before year-end to ensure that you do not inadvertently trigger a deemed, unfranked dividend to a shareholder or associate for any loans, payments or debt forgiveness transactions provided by the company," Sakell explains.
Businesses have a choice about how to value their trading stock and that choice can help minimise a business' tax bill.
"Where you hold trading stock, you can choose to value trading stock at year-end cost, market selling value, replacement value or obsolete stock value," Sakell explains.
Field says it is important for business owners to know the method by which you value your stock can be changed from year to year and also between different items.
"You don't have to have the same method for everything," he says.
And Field says if the stock is old or obsolete, make sure you write it off in full.
If your company has made a capital gain in the current financial year, it's worthwhile looking at ways to minimise the tax on those gains. This could include selling assets that have incurred a capital loss to offset those that have made gains.
Sakell recommends considering whether assets that were disposed of were held for over 12 months and thus qualify for the capital gains tax (CGT) discount.
"If the amounts are material, you may need to review whether the Australian Tax Office may treat amounts as being on revenue accounts and not eligible for the 50% discount," he says.
Small businesses should also view the end of the financial year as an opportunity to write off any bad debts they have not been able to recoup in the current financial year.
But as is the case with many measures to minimise your tax bill, make sure to document what the debts are and the efforts you have made to recover them.
Bad debts must be physically written off before the end of June—not a few months down the track when you get around to doing your tax return.
Business owners should also make sure the debt in question had previously been included in the business' assessable income. This could be an issue for cash-based businesses that only recognise income when they are paid. In these circumstances, the debt would not have previously been included in assessable income and therefore the business would not be eligible to write it off.
The end of the financial year is a good time for SMEs to sign off on any bonuses for employees.
Crowe Horwath tax partner Tim Holloway previously told SmartCompany the "fool-proof" way to make sure you record employee bonuses is to inform the employee in writing. However, the actual bonuses do not have to be paid before June 30. The important thing is a definite commitment has been made and there is a record of the commitment.
It may feel like you are running out of time but most businesses tend to organise employee bonuses within the last few weeks of the financial year.
SMEs should make time this week to review their depreciable assets if they have not already done so.
The ATO publishes a taxation ruling each year about the effective life of assets and this can be used as a guide for business owners when calculating the depreciation rates of their assets.
However this ruling is just a guide and businesses are not obliged to follow it if they can show the life of a particular asset is different to what's in the ATO ruling. For example, if you can show that the effective life of the asset is shorter than the ATO's guidance, you may be able to increase the depreciation deductions claimed in your tax return.
Did you know business owners can claim back money they spend on self-education?
Paul Drum, head of policy at CPA Australia, previously told SmartCompany, self-education expenses can be claimed if the study is "directly related to either maintaining or improving your current occupational skills or it is likely to increase your income from your current employment".
Claimable expenses could include course fees, textbooks, stationery, student union fees and depreciation of other study-related items such as computers and printers.
The ATO is upfront each year about what it will be paying close attention to at tax time.
Thilini Wickramasuriya, tax counsel at The Tax Institute, told SmartCompany work-related expanses are at the top of the ATO's agenda this year.
"Be mindful that the ATO are currently very interested in taxpayers who access business assets for private use, particularly high-wealth individuals and SMEs," Wickramasuriya says.
And as was the case last year, the ATO is also targeting payments to contractors in the building and construction industries as part of its compliance program. This means it will be closely reading business' Taxable Payments Annual Reports.
Using online tools to organise your invoices, receipts and other relevant paperwork could not only save you time before June 30, it could also have longer term benefits for your business' bottom line.
"You would be shocked at how many small business owners don't properly track expenses, invoices and customers payments," says Sophie Hossack, country manager at Receipt Bank.
Hossack says cloud-based productivity apps can help small businesses upload and keep track of receipts, bills and invoices and these tools can free up business owners to get back to running their business. These apps can also integrate into accounting software, which again can save time and money.
"Every small business owners pulls out their wallet and buys things on an almost daily basis," Hossack told SmartCompany.
It may sounds obvious, but once you have finalised your tax bill, make sure you pay it on time.
Writing for SmartCompany last June, ATO deputy commissioner Steve Vesperman said paying promptly is the best way for SMEs to avoid any penalties.
"But if you can't pay or lodge on time for any reason, don't be afraid to ask us," Vesperman said.
Don't hesitate to call on the help of a professional bookkeeper or accountant if you need to.
This is Hossack's other top tip for the end of financial year. Hossack told SmartCompany "accountants and bookkeepers are trusted and respected allies to small business owners … and will save you time and money almost every time".
"That said, the cleaner your records, the fewer billable hours you'll have to pay," Hossack says.
Hossack recommends getting everything in order yourself but then getting professional advice.
Looking ahead to the 2016 financial year, Pitcher Partner's Theo Sakell says SMEs should pay close attention to the federal government's tax reform process. He says the tax white paper is likely to canvas options for reform to superannuation, franking credits, negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts, among other areas. | {

Ever go to brush your teeth or just wash some fruit and realize you can't? Ever use body spray and lotion to clean up with after work?
I don't drink tap water myself. But I have a cat and dog to provide for. I change their water daily. This is an inconvenience now. But what if this goes on for months?
I'm extremely fortunate that my grandparents live 20 miles away in Scott Depot, WV. Their water hasn't been contaminated. So I can go there to shower and get water if needed. But what about the elderly who don't have someone looking out for them? If this goes on for awhile it will most definitely be a crisis.
I work in a coal mine. Please don't blame this incident on the coal industry. It was a company who makes chemicals who messed up big time. Was the Gulf of Mexico oil spill the car industries fault?
No more eating out for awhile. Restaurants are closed. Bars are closed. Schools are closed. This is going to have a huge impact on local businesses. If my favorite restaurant Leonoros goes out of business because of this there will be hell to pay. | {

The Friends for Life Forever Farm is a sanctuary for senior and special needs animals. Many of our dog and cat residents come to us from county shelters throughout western North Carolina.
Recently we have also been able to assist our Animal Control officers in Transylvania County with animal neglect cases involving equines. Having facilities for horses has allowed us to step in and help in emergency situations.
Brook, a beautiful two-year-old Paint mare, came to us recently when Transylvania Animal Control took legal action against her owner for not providing necessary veterinary care. Poor Brook was bred too young and was unable to deliver her foal, which had died in the womb, without major injury to her reproductive tract. Left untreated she too would have died from the resulting infection. Once she was signed over to Animal Control we were able to bring her to the Forever Farm, provide immediate veterinary care, and a safe haven for recovery. We commend our Animal Control officers for stepping in, enforcing the law, and saving Brook's life.
Our organization endeavors to help with as many cruelty and neglect cases as we can. To do so depends on the generosity of our supporters, who are the main source of our funding. Tax deductible donations to the Friends for Life Forever Farm, can be made through our website, friendsforlifeforeverfarm.org or by mail to P.O. Box 340, Sapphire, NC 28774. For information please call (828) 508-2460 or email [email protected]. | {

Nault, Tancredi & Wilkinson retire from Canada women's national team

VANCOUVER, Canada -- Three of CONCACAF's most accomplished stars laced up their boots for the last time on Saturday, when Marie-Eve Nault (71 caps/0 goals), Melissa Tancredi (125/27) and Rhian Wilkinson (181/7) played their final game for Canada in a 3-2 win over visiting Mexico in a women's international friendly.
A crowd of 22,508 – the largest-ever for a women's friendly in Canada – filed into BC Place to get a glimpse of their heroes wearing the red jersey for the last occasion.
"To get to play at home one last time, it's very, very special," said Wilkinson, a 34-year-old defender, who played in four consecutive FIFA Women's World Cups through 2015. "It's been a difficult week, but we've kept our emotions in check. We know this is a big day for Marie-Eve, Melissa and I, but it is also for our families, who have put us first for a long time and to be recognized for their contributions to our career."
All three have won the CONCACAF Women's Championship (2010), played in the FIFA Women's World Cup and have earned an Olympic bronze medal.
A member of the national team since 2004, Tancredi scored twice in Canada's famous 2-1 victory over Germany at 2016 Women's Olympic Football Tournament -- the country's first-ever win against the European powerhouse.
"It's so important to end this at home for me," said the 35-year-old forward. "To be able to give this crowd a win at BC Place in front of our family and friends is really special, and to end it on the pitch with Sincy (Christine Sinclair) was amazing as well."
The 34-year-old Nault became an integral part at the 2012 Olympic team after two defenders ahead of her on the depth chart suffered injuries.
"It was a whirlwind of emotion," she expressed. "I didn't expect to play 90 (minutes), but I ended up playing 90, and I wanted to do it for the team, surrounded by the best teammates in the world.
Together on the pitch at London 2012, they combined for one Canada's most important goals in the group phase against Sweden, with Wilkinson making a run down the right before her cross was headed home by Tancredi. The sequence moved through six Canadian players, with Nault providing the initial pass.
The retiring players were joined by their families on the pitch at the conclusion of the match and were given an emotional send-off as head coach John Herdman led the crowd in a rousing hip-hip-hooray.

Military authors donate to Honor Flight Nevada
Co-authors Steve Ranson and Ken Beaton, who, along with David C. Henley, wrote "Legacies of the Silver State: Nevada Goes to War," have donated more than $7,000 to Honor Flight Nevada. Ranson, left, and Beaton, right, made a presentation Friday to Jon Yuspa, executive director of Honor Flight Nevada.

Since its official rollout on Nov. 11, "Legacies of the Silver State: Nevada Goes to War" has generated more than $7,000 to Honor light Nevada, the program that flies veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the nation's memorials built in their honor.
Co-authors Steve Ranson, a retired editor and general manager for the Lahontan Valley News in Fallon, and Ken Beaton, a retired Carson City teacher, presented two checks to Jon Yuspa on Friday to be used toward Honor Flight Nevada journeys to either Washington, D.C., or for another special trip to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and additional sites on the island of Oahu. In December, Ranson presented Yuspa with the first of the book's donations.
David Henley, a retired college professor, newspaperman and owner of the Lahontan Valley News, has written a number of articles, specifically on the role of the USS Nevada at Pearl Harbor and extending through D-Day.
"Legacies of the Silver State: Nevada Goes to the War" is a compilation of 71 stories introducing readers to Nevada's World War II veterans who called the Silver State home in one way or another. Many veterans who lived in all sections of the United States enlisted in the military shortly after the brazen Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
From lowering the ramps of landing ships at Normandy on June 6, 1944, to crawling on the snow on their bellies and enduring extremely harsh weather during the Battle of the Bulge, to providing medical care on a remote island in the Pacific, Nevadans showed intrepidness and bravery when facing the enemy. Many of the book's individual stories describe the courage and service of men and women who served aboard the battleships USS Arizona and USS Nevada or island hopped in the Pacific during the final years of the war. Articles also reveal the thoughts of Holocaust survivors and their liberators.
In addition to articles in newspapers and online news sources, the authors and their book have been featured on Reno television programs and KKOH Radio.
Not only is the book available for purchase by the general public, but Ranson said it will also be distributed to local and high-school libraries throughout Northern Nevada as well as to the 80 veterans living at the Northern Nevada State Veterans Home in Sparks. Both authors and Honor Flight Nevada are seeking individuals or businesses who may be interested in becoming sponsors for purchasing the books libraries. Honor Flight Nevada is a 501c3 organization, and sponsorships are tax deductible. Ranson said donations from the sponsorships will all be earmarked for veterans traveling on an Honor Flight Nevada.
The book may be purchased at https://legacies-of-the-silver-state.square.site/ on Facebook. The $25 cost includes the book and shipping. The book may also be purchased at the following businesses:
Carson City — The Purple Avocado, 904 N. Curry St.
Fallon — His Inspirations, 200 S. Maine St.; Churchill County Museum, 1050 S. Maine St.
Reno — Code Coffee, 300 S. Wells Ave.; Sundance Books and Music, 121 California Ave.
Winnemucca — 504 W. Winnemucca Blvd.

Rotterdam-based designers Ward van Gemert and Adriaan van der Ploeg, of design studio NIGHTSHOP, have created the Showdown Carpets, an interesting collection of art made from foam, whose end result is similar to a carpet, however the designers mention "they're more objects without a clear use".
Using syringes filled with custom colored liquid urethane foam, they gently squeeze out the foam into the desired shape and pattern.
Once the foam expands and dries, it sticks to the piece next to it, and makes the entire piece of work become one.
Here is a close-up of the foam.
They're on a mission to create 10 pieces (currently they have 7), which will be exhibited in April, at the Robert van Oosterom gallery in Rotterdam.
Here are some examples of the other pieces they've created. | {

This invention relates to a method and reactor for manufacturing objects by solid freeform fabrication, especially titanium and titanium alloy objects.
Structured metal parts made of titanium or titanium alloys are conventionally made by casting, forging or machining from a billet. These techniques have a disadvantage of high material use of the expensive titanium metal and large lead times in the fabrication.
Fully dense physical objects may be made by a manufacturing technology known as rapid prototyping, rapid manufacturing, layered manufacturing or additive fabrication. This technique employs computer aided design software (CAD) to first construct a virtual model of the object which is to be made, and then transform the virtual model into thin parallel slices or layers, usually horizontally oriented. The physical object may then be made by laying down successive layers of raw material in the form of liquid paste, powder or sheet material resembling the shape of the virtual layers until the entire object is formed. The layers are fused together to form a solid dense object. In case of depositing solid materials which are fused or welded together, the technique is also termed as solid freeform fabrication.
Solid freeform fabrication is a flexible technique allowing creation of objects of almost any shape at relatively fast production rates, typically varying from some hours to several days for each object. The technique is thus suited for formation of prototypes and small production series, but less suited for large volume production.
The technique of layered manufacturing may be expanded to include deposition of pieces of the construction material, that is, each structural layer of the virtual model of the object is divided into a set of pieces which when laid side by side form the layer. This allows forming metallic objects by welding a wire onto a substrate in successive stripes forming each layer according to the virtual layered model of the object, and repeating the process for each layer until the entire physical object is formed. The accuracy of the welding technique is usually to coarse to allow directly forming the object with acceptable dimensions, the formed object will thus usually be considered a green object or pre-form which need to be machined to acceptable dimensional accuracy.
Taminger and Hafley disclose a method and device for manufacturing structural metal parts directly from computer aided design data combined with electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF). The structural part is build by welding on successive layers of a metallic welding wire which is welded by the heat energy provided by the electron beam. The process is schematically shown in FIG. 1, which is a facsimile of FIG. 1 of . The EBF process involves feeding a metal wire into a molten pool made and sustained by a focused electron beam in a high vacuum environment. The positioning of the electron beam and welding wire is obtained by having the electron beam gun and the positioning system (the support substrate) movably hinged along one or more axis (X, Y, Z, and rotation) and regulate the position of the electron beam gun and the support substrate by a four axis motion control system. The process is claimed to be nearly 100% efficient in material use and 95% effective in power consumption. The method may be employed both for bulk metal deposition and finer detailed depositions, and the method is claimed to obtain significant effect on lead time reduction and lower material and machining costs as compared to the conventional approach of machining the metal parts.
The electron beam technology has a disadvantage of being dependent upon a high vacuum of 10.sup.-1 Pa or less in the deposition chamber. This may be avoided by substituting the spot heating by the focused electron beam by a plasma transferred arc. In this case the formation of the local melt pool is obtained by heat created by an arc discharge between two inert electrodes and which is directed onto the melting spot by a focused stream of an inert plasma forming gas. This process may readily be applied at atmospheric pressures and thus allow simpler and less costly process equipment. An example of this technology is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,326,377 and US 2006/185473. This technology is sometimes denoted plasma transferred arc solid freeform fabrication (PTA-SFFF).
US 2006/185473 discloses a method where a high energy plasma beam such as a welding torch in place of the very expensive laser traditionally used in a solid freeform fabrication (SFFF) process with relatively low cost titanium feed material by combining the titanium feed and alloying components in a way that considerably reduces the cost of the raw materials. More particularly, in one aspect the present invention employs pure titanium wire (CP Ti) which is lower in cost than alloyed wire, and combines the CP Ti wire with powdered alloying components in-situ in the SFFF process by combining the CP Ti wire and the powder alloying components in the melt of the welding torch or other high power energy beam. In another embodiment, the invention employs titanium sponge material mixed with alloying elements and formed into a wire where it may be used in an SFFF process in combination with a plasma welding torch or other high power energy beam to produce near net shaped titanium components. The process according to US 2006/185473 is schematically drawn in FIG. 2, which is a facsimile of FIG. 1 of this document.
Titanium metal or titanium alloys heated above 400.degree. C. may be subject to oxidation upon contact with oxygen. It is thus necessary to protect the weld and heated object which is being formed by layered manufacture against oxygen in the ambient atmosphere. WO 2009/068843 discloses an inert gas shield for welding which produces an even outflow of protecting inert gas. By placing the shield above the object which needs to be protected, the even flow of inert gas will displace ambient atmosphere without creating vortexes which may entrain ambient oxygen containing gas. The shield is formed as a hollow box of which the inert gas enters the interior and is allowed to escape the interior of the box through a set of narrow openings made in one wall of the box.
The main objective of the invention is to provide a method for rapid layered manufacture of objects in titanium or titanium alloys.
A further objective of the invention is to provide a deposition chamber which allows prosecution of the method according to the invention.
The invention is based on the realisation that by making the deposition chamber sufficiently void of oxygen, the need for employing protective measures to avoid oxidising the newly welded area by ambient atmospheric oxygen is no longer present such that the welding process may proceed at a larger velocity. For example, in production of objects of titanium or titanium alloy, there is no longer need for cooling the welded zone to below 400.degree. C. to avoid oxidation.
Thus in a first aspect, the invention relates to a method of production of an object in a weldable material by solid freeform fabrication, wherein the method comprises: creating a virtual three dimensional model of the object which is to be formed, dividing the virtual three dimensional model into a set of virtual parallel layers and then dividing each layer into a set of virtual quasi one-dimensional pieces, forming a virtual vectorized layered model of the object, loading the vectorized layered model of the object into a welding control system able to regulate the position and activation of a support substrate, high energy plasma transferred arc welding torch, and a wire feeding system placed in a closed reactor vessel, substituting the atmosphere inside the closed reactor vessel with an inert atmosphere with a pressure of about 10.sup.5 Pa and which contains maximum 50 ppm oxygen, engaging the control system to weld a series of quasi one-dimensional pieces of the weldable material onto the supporting substrate in a pattern according to the first layer of the virtual vectorized layered model of the object, forming the second layer of the object by welding a series of quasi one-dimensional pieces of the weldable material onto the previous deposited layer in a pattern according to the second layer of the virtual vectorized layered model of the object, and repeating the welding process layer by layer for each successive layer of the virtual vectorized layered model of the object until the entire object is formed.
The term "virtual vectorized layered model of the object" as used herein means a three dimensional computerized representation of the object which is to be formed, where the object is divided into a set of parallel layers and where each layer is divided into a set of quasi one-dimensional pieces. The term "quasi one-dimensional pieces" as used herein means longitudinal rod-resembling pieces of the welding material which when laid side by side in a specific pattern according to the vectorized model will form the object that is to be formed. The rod-resembling pieces may be bended (curved) or linear. The virtual vectorized layered model may be transformed to a physical object by welding together pieces of a welding wire corresponding to each virtual quasi one-dimensional piece of the virtual vectorized layered model.
The virtual model includes information of the dimensions and is given a three dimensional design which corresponds to the three dimensional design of the physical object that is to be manufactured. The virtual vectorized layered model may then be applied as a template for the physical construction of the object. That is, the virtual model is transformed into building instructions executed by the control system of the solid freeform fabrication equipment such that the physical object is being manufactured piecemeal by welding a wire onto a substrate in successive stripes, where each welded stripe corresponds to a piece of the virtual vectorized layered model. The principle of the manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 1, which show construction of a metallic object by welding a piece onto a first layer by electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF). The invention may apply any known or conceivable software for computer assisted design for constructing the virtual vectorized layered model.
The method according to the first aspect of the invention may be employed with any material which is suited for solid freeform fabrication. This includes any weldable metal or alloyed metal and polymeric materials. The method is especially suited for manufacturing objects in titanium or alloyed titanium.
The inert gas may be any chemically inactive gas towards the weldable material being used at temperatures below the softening temperature of the material. The inert gas may advantageously be a gas with higher density than air in order to alleviate the substitution of the air inside the reactor chamber with the inert gas. Argon is an example of a suited inert gas, but may also include helium, a gas mixture of Ar--He or other inert gases. The oxidation problem of i.e. titanium and alloyed titanium becomes a problem when the inert gas contains more than 50 ppm oxygen. The oxygen level may however advantageously be lower, such as about 20 ppm oxygen.
One standing problem of prior art plasma transferred arc solid freeform fabrication of titanium or alloyed titanium objects, is that the metal needs to be protected against oxygen in the ambient atmosphere at temperatures above around 400.degree. C.
This leads to regular interruptions in the welding process to avoid overheating the parts of the formed object. By employing an atmosphere in the welding zone with less than 50 ppm oxygen, this need for regular intervals to avoid overheating is substantially reduced since the object may be allowed to be heated to above 400.degree. C. The only temperature restriction of the process when employing an oxygen deficit atmosphere is that the temperature of the deposited metal phase must be below the softening point of the metal. The term "softening point" as used herein means the temperature at which the material (i.e. titanium or alloyed titanium) attains a particular degree of softening under specified conditions of test. The softening point is dependent upon which alloy being employed, but is typically above 800.degree. C. or higher when employing titanium or alloyed titanium.
In a second aspect, the invention relates to a reactor for production of an object of a weldable material by solid freeform fabrication, where the reactor comprises: a reactor chamber (1) which is closed to the ambient atmosphere, an actuator (2) controlling the position and movement of a support substrate (3) placed inside the reactor chamber, an actuator (4) controlling the position and movement of a high energy plasma transferred arc welding torch (5) with a wire feeder, a control system able to read a virtual three dimensional vectorized layered model of the object which is to be formed and employ the virtual model to control the position and movement of the actuators (2, 4), operation of the welding torch (5) and wire feeder such that a physical object is build by welding a layered structure of quasi one-dimensional pieces of the weldable material onto the supporting structure according to the virtual three dimensional vectorized layered model of the object which is to be formed, characterised in that all adjacent wall elements (6) of the walls of the reactor chamber are joined with an obtuse angle (larger than 90.degree.), the actuator (2) extends from below the reactor chamber and protrudes into the reactor chamber through an opening (7) in the reactor chamber wall holding the support substrate (3) inside the reactor chamber, the opening (7) is sealed by at least one elastic gas impermeable membrane (8) which is gas tight attached to the reactor wall at the opening (7) and to the actuator (2), the actuator (4) extends from the outside of the reactor chamber and protrudes into the reactor chamber through an opening (9) of the wall of reactor chamber holding the high energy plasma transferred arc welding torch (5) with wire feeder of the weldable material inside the reactor chamber, the opening (9) is sealed by the at least one elastic gas impermeable membrane (10) which is gas tight attached to the reactor wall at the opening (9) and to the actuator (4), and the reactor is equipped with at least one closable gas inlet (11) located in the lower part the reactor chamber and at least one closable gas outlet (12) located at the upper part of the reactor chamber.
The term "wall of the reactor chamber" as used herein, includes all sides of the enclosed compartment constituting the reactor chamber including floor and ceiling unless specified otherwise. The term "lower part of the reactor chamber" as used herein means some location in the lower level (close to the floor) of the reactor chamber, while the term "upper part of the reactor chamber" as used herein means some location in the upper level (close to the ceiling) of the reactor chamber.
The feature of adjoining the wall elements constituting the walls of the reactor chamber with an obtuse angle combined with at least one closable gas inlet at the lower part of the chamber and at least one closable gas outlet at the upper part of the reactor chamber, provides the ability to substitute the atmosphere inside the chamber with inert pure argon gas, helium, or a gas mixture of Ar--He in a simple and effective manner which practically eliminates vortices and back flow zones entraining remnants of the oxygen containing gas which is to be substituted. This feature may thus be considered as a mean for effective filling of the reactor chamber with inert gas. Thus the term "highest level" as used herein means the highest part of the reactor chamber relative to the gravitational field, and the term "the lowest level" is the lowest part of the reactor chamber relative to the gravitational field.
The effect of the obtuse angle between adjacent wall elements increases the larger angle being employed. However, the size of the reactor compartment will increase with increasing angle. Thus in practice it is necessary to find a trade-off between the need for avoid sharp edges inside the chamber and the size of the chamber. Thus the obtuse angle should in practice be between 95 and 130.degree., more suitably between 100 and 120.degree..
The feature of placing the main parts of the actuators controlling the position and movement of the support substrate and the welding torch (including wire feeder) on the outside of the reactor chamber is to reduce the possibility of forming back flow zones or vortex forming zones around the production equipment inside the reactor chamber to a level as low as possible, and thus aid the process of flushing out the oxygen in the reactor chamber before initiating the solid freeform fabrication of the object. The flushing of the chamber is alleviated by placing electric cables, tubes etc. passing through the reactor walls at a distance of each other of at least 5 mm.
The elastic gas tight sealing of the openings in the reactor chamber may be obtained by employing one or more layers of elastic and gas impermeable rubber. The rubber sheet(s) may be attached by using clamping frames which is attached to the reactor wall and clamping rings attached to the actuator arm protruding in through the opening in the reactor chamber. In this manner, the actuator arms is given the possibility of moving rather freely in relation to the reactor wall and still obtain a gas tight closure of the opening in the reactor wall by the elastic gas impermeable rubber.
The oxygen protection of the reactor chamber may be increased by inserting sufficient argon to obtain a slightly elevated pressure inside the reactor chamber as compared to the ambient atmosphere, such as for instance around 100 Pa above the ambient atmosphere. The reactor chamber may also be equipped with a measuring instrument to monitor one or more of the oxygen, nitrogen and other gas contents in the inert atmosphere inside the chamber, and thus allowing flushing out eventual occurrence of inacceptable oxygen, nitrogen etc levels in the reactor chamber before reaching levels harmful for the metal object under manufacturing.
The reactor chamber according to the second aspect of the invention may easily be filled with argon or other inert atmosphere to obtain an atmosphere inside the chamber with an oxygen concentration of 50 ppm or less. At such low oxygen levels, there is no significant risk of inacceptable oxidation of the object being formed, such that the welding process may be run at an elevated temperature as compared to prior art solid freeform fabrication methods. The temperature of the object may be increased up to the softening point. In case of employing titanium or alloyed titanium, the temperature of the metal may be as high as 800.degree. C. or more during the layered fabrication of the object. This feature will thus significantly reduce the time required to cool the newly formed web before proceeding with the welding process as compared to prior art which requires temperatures below 400.degree. C.
By use of a reactor chamber according to the second aspect of the invention, it is observed that the air inside the chamber may be completely flushed out by inserting argon gas in a steady easy manner at flow conditions giving laminar flow through the gas inlets in the bottom of the chamber by inserting only the same amount of inert gas as the volume of the chamber and still obtain an oxygen content in the inert argon atmosphere of about 20 ppm oxygen. It is thus not necessary to form an overflow during filling argon; it is sufficient to only gently push out the air and stop filling inert gas and close the inert gas outlet at the top of the chamber as soon as all air is pushed out. This gives an advantage in very little use of the costly inert gas. The reactor chamber may also include a closed cooling circuit where inert gas are taken out of the chamber, passed through a heat-exchanger to lower its temperature, and then inserted into the reactor chamber in a closed recycle loop. This feature is advantageous to avoid overheating the reactor chamber in cases where the welding torch is operated with high powers. The welding torch may be operated with effects of 5-6 kW or higher, and in such cases a sealed reactor space of 1-2 m.sup.3 would rapidly be heated to high temperatures without active cooling of the gas phase inside the chamber.
The invention may apply any known or conceivable control system for operating the actuators, welding torch, and wire feeder. The actuators may advantageously be equipped with a four axis motion control system (X, Y, X, and rotation). The invention may apply any known or conceivable welding torch and wire feeder system able to perform layered manufacturing of metallic objects by the technique known as plasma transferred arc solid freeform fabrication (PTA-SFFF). One example of such equipment is shown in FIG. 2, which is a facsimile of FIG. 1 of US 2006/0185473.
FIG. 1 is a facsimile of FIG. 1 of showing a schematic view of the principle of solid freeform fabrication.

FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of one embodiment of the reactor according to the invention.
FIG. 4 is an expanded view of an embodiment of the clamping frames for holding two layers of flexible gas tight membrane closing the opening in the bottom of the reactor according to the invention.
FIGS. 5a and 5b are different side views of an embodiment of the reactor according to the invention.
The inventive features of the invention according to the second aspect of the invention are schematically presented in FIG. 3.
The figure shows a reactor 1 with an internal closed compartment made by a set of wall elements 6. The wall elements 6 are positioned such that there are no sharp edges, that is, edges with walls angled at angles of 90.degree. or less. All internal wall angles, .alpha., of the reactor chamber are obtuse (larger than 90.degree.). An actuator 2 which controls the position and movement of a support substrate 3 is located outside of the reactor chamber and protrudes through an opening 7 such that the support substrate 3 is located inside the reactor chamber. The opening 7 is closed by an elastic gas tight membrane 8. An actuator 4 which controls the position and movement of a high energy plasma transferred arc welding torch 5 with wire feeder for feeding a wire of the weldable material is located outside of the reactor chamber and protrudes through an opening 9 such that the high energy plasma transferred arc welding torch 5 with wire feeder is located inside the reactor chamber. The opening 9 is closed by an elastic gas tight membrane 10.

FIG. 4 shows an expanded view of a clamping frame 7 which may be employed for holding two layers of an elastic gas tight membrane. By forming two sheets of the membrane with dimensions such that the edges enters into the space between two of the clamping frames, the membrane may be firmly and gas tight attached to the reactor wall 6 by fastening the clamps to the reactor walls such that they are pressed onto each other. The actuator arm 2 protruding into the chamber is poking through the hole in the clamping ring 13. The dimensions of the rings 13 are adjusted to form a gas tight grip around the actuator arm. The gas tight membrane is attached to the clamping rings 13 in the same manner as to the clamping frames 7. The figure also shows an example of placement of the closable gas inlets 11.
FIGS. 5a and 5b show two different side views of an example embodiment of the reactor 100. The reactor 100 is made up of a number of wall elements 106 to form a closed cabinet. The wall elements may be provided with a gas tight glass window 116 to allow visual observation of the process or with a gas tight door to allow entry into the chamber before and after formation of the object. The embodiment is equipped with a cooling loop comprising gas outlet 102, gas inlet 103 and heat exchanger 101. From FIG. 5a it is seen that the side wall opening for one actuator is placed is closed by using a clamping frame 109 holding an elastic rubber membrane 110 (the actuator entering through the membrane is not shown for providing clarity). From FIG. 5b, it is seen that the bottom opening is closed by using a clamping frame 107 holding an elastic rubber membrane 108 (the actuator entering through the membrane is not shown for providing clarity).

New Delhi: Monsoon getaways in India are sadly underrated. Common notion is that all the vaccay-worthy spots are gloomy the shower season.
What if we tell you, that some places are best savored during the rains.
Beaches are only sought after by many when the sun is out and the sands are hot. What this means is you can take advantage of this culture-rich beach destination at a fraction of the price. Trek hillocks for splendid beaches, sip at quirky cafes or just unwind at one of the many hotels which are always a walk away from the beach! This hippie-hotspot is an 8-hour scenic drive or just an overnight bus from the city.
As cliched a plan to Coorg may sound, it is just one of those unbeatable experiences in the monsoon. Victorian style home stays nestled in the middle of hilly estates is the best place you can be when it's pouring out and all green. Trek one of the numerous hills or a little sightseeing and coming back to your cozy cottage to sip your favorite drink for the evening along with the signature pork is what you call - Quality Time!
It is one of those places, which you don't hear people talk about. Placed among the castling Shevaroy hills, Yercaud is one the perfect offbeat monsoon destinations of all time. Visit numerous waterfalls which come alive for the season, take a stroll around the famous Yercaud Lake which is complete with a park or just soak in the views offered by the many vantage points. This hilltop is also a popular hiking destination, if you're feeling adventurous. These experiences, among many make this place a top rated weekend monsoon getaway from the city being just a mere 4 hours away from Bangalore.
A city nestled among the Western Ghats, it is one of the most sought after weekend destinations among many travelers. During the monsoon, experiences are even better all around this hill city. Striking off the famous Mullayanagiri trek from your bucket list is only the start of what you can do here. Comfortable and budget friendly stays among the hills, which often come with a view puts icing on the cake!
One of the many gems that the 'God's own Country' has on offer this whole district is a nature lover's paradise. Winding roads sided with either estates or forests leading to paradise like landscapes like the Banasurasagar reservoir or the many wildlife reserves rich with flora and fauna is where you want to be when the rain is doing its magic. Activities like treks or any other adventure sports are plenty on offer.
Probably one of the most underrated and non commercialized destinations in all of Kerala, has naturally become a hippy paradise. Pristine shorelines, age old Hindu temples and the Anjengo fort makes this place well worthy over a monsoon weekend. Cliff side cafes which play world music, stalls selling the rather popular baggy clothes and the whole backpacker vibe the town gives out. All this cannot be missed as there are many affordable travel and beach side accommodation, which makes you look forward to a rainy weekend by the beach. | {

The Hatch Act's Restrictions on Running for Local Government Office
There is one local government conflict of interest that is often ignored because it was created at the federal level by a federal statute. The statute is known as the Hatch Act of 1939 (Title 5, Subchapter III), originally known as An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities (they don't make statute names like they used to).
The Hatch Act limits the political activities of local government employees who are principally employed by programs funded in whole or in part by the U.S. or a federal agency. Here are the most important prohibited activities (for more information on permitted and prohibited activities, click here):
Cannot be a candidate for public office in a partisan election (nonpartisan elections are okay, which is good for most municipalities, but not most counties)
Cannot use official authority or influence to interfere with or affect the results of an election or nomination
Cannot directly or indirectly coerce contributions from subordinates in support of a political party or candidate
The last two of these are generally seen as unethical, and this is often stated explicitly in an ethics or conduct code, or in state law. But the first can be a surprise, as it seems to have been recently in Terre Haute, Indiana.
According to an article in the Tribune-Star, Duke Bennett was elected mayor of Terre Haute last year, and the losing candidate then went to court, arguing that Bennett had not been eligible to run for mayor because he worked as director of operations at an agency that received money for its Head Start program, although he had almost nothing to do with that program.
The court found that Bennett had been subject to the Hatch Act when he ran for mayor, but would no longer be in violation on the day he took office as mayor. A Solomonic decision, if there ever was one. It effectively undermines the Hatch Act. Both parties have appealed.
This part of the Hatch Act seems absurd. Why shouldn't a Head Start employee be able to run for municipal office? This clearly wasn't the result the Act originally sought. It was seeking to end patronage and the use of federal funds to affect elections. But the Act was taken to the Supreme Court twice and was upheld both times.
In any event, local governments with partisan elections should keep this in mind, and such a problem should be brought up when a candidate announces, not after he has been elected.

Making it with Marc Part 2: Becoming A Tour Guide
The popular HBO series The Sopranos turns 20 years old in just one month! To celebrate this milestone, we'll be sharing some Sopranos content and a behind the scenes look at the Sopranos Sites Tour throughout the years. Marc Baron, long time Sopranos Sites tour guide, tells us about how he became a guide in the second of four blog posts. Read on…
Sometime during the filming of the third season I got a call from an old friend, Joyce Randolph. Joyce is best known as Trixie of the TV The Honeymooners. We both belong to a theater club called The Lambs ®, which is the oldest theatrical organization in America, founded in New York in 1874. Today I am its Shepherd (President). Joyce's late husband, Richard Charles, was The Lambs' Shepherd in the 1990's. Joyce and I are old and very dear friends. Joyce had received a call about making an appearance on a bus tour about film and television locations. She invited the tour company founder/owner, Georgette Blau, to The Lambs to chat, and Joyce asked me to sit with them. Georgette explained that she had created a company focused on giving tours about films and television and among them included tours about Sex & the City and The Sopranos. I chimed in that I had worked on a few episodes of The Sopranos and Georgette began to grill me about my work.
At this time I was now trying to move my career away from stand-in/double work. So, my calendar was free. Georgette wanted to know if I'd be interested in working on her Sopranos Tour. She preferred guides who were actors or comedians, and my having been on the show's set really piqued her interest. I have never done anything like this before and was hesitant. I eventually agreed to take the tour to see what it was all about. There were about 18 locations and the trip ran over 4 hours and 30 minutes, but it lacked information and was a bit boring. The guide would simply chat with people in front then point to a location as the bus whizzed by telling the clients what happened there. Georgette and I talked about what I thought it needed, such as more interaction and humor. She agreed to let me makes changes to the tour, and I began to learn the tour, while at the same time researching the actors, developing a few jokes, adding some prizes to make it interactive and, adding some of my behind- the-scenes knowledge/experiences.
But then a major setback– September 11th. All tourism essentially stopped in New York City. Tunnels were closed while the city slowly recovered. During the several months following the disaster, Georgette took off the reigns and allowed me to revamp the tour. We had the help of Sue Sadik, aka Soprano Sue, and John 'Gramps' Launder. They were two huge fans of the show who frequently found their way onto sets during production. They pointed out a lot of locations and, together, we re-routed the entire tour. I added my research, jokes, and we restarted the tour about 2 months later. It took a little time, but good word was quickly spreading about the tour. We had made the tour run at 4 hours but included about 40 locations.
At about that time one of the actors – Joe Gannascoli who played Vito Spatafore – began meeting the tour at its start, selling souvenirs and taking photos with tourists. Joe can come off a little gruff, but once you get past that he's a decent guy. While I was doing the tour, I was still working on the show occasionally. The times when both Joe and I were on set he would introduce me around to other actors, directors, etc. I knew better than to mention the tour.

Five years of the South Eastern European Journal of Public Health (SEEJPH): Focusing on health systems in transition and global health
32 - Ciències Médiques

Five years ago, in the spring of 2014, the first volume of a new open access journal was published by Jacobs Company. It was conceptualized in the framework of the European Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, financed until 2010 by the German Academic Exchange Service. Yet, by that time, the project had supported the creation of schools of public health and public health training programmes in Albania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia, complementing the Andrija Stampar School of Public Health in Zagreb, Croatia, the oldest institution for teaching, research, and practice of public health in the region (since 1927).

Asian Art Kaneta Masanao: New WorksSeptember 2008
NEW YORK – With the first anniversary of the opening of its Madison Avenue gallery approaching, Joan B Mirviss LTD will open the 2008 – 2009 season September 17 with an exhibition of new works by the renowned Japanese clay artist Kaneta Masanao.
Kaneta (b. 1953), an eighth-generation Hagi potter, navigates the borderlands between the traditional potter's craft and the practice of a contemporary artist in the creation of his groundbreaking work. Following training in sculpture at Tokyo University of Education (now Tsukuba University), Kaneta began to develop the formal dynamism that sets his work apart from that of other artists of the ancient ceramic center from which he hails. The push and pull between his innovative techniques and traditional glazes, as well as that between his functional vessels and purely sculptural forms, is readily apparent in the selection of nearly 40 new works that will be on view this autumn in the artist's second solo exhibition in New York.
Kaneta creates veritable landscapes with his unique, mountain-inspired forms, moving beyond tradition in his signature kurinuki technique of digging or scooping his sculptural vessels out of solid mounds of clay. Early in his career, Kaneta struggled to work within the constraints imposed by the traditional image of the potter working at the wheel. He eventually arrived at his innovative method only after years of frustration with the inherent conflict between the centrifugal force of the potter's wheel and his own formative intent. The artist has described that liberating himself from the wheel allowed him to finally focus on "the natural spirit of a mound of clay" in concert with his own "sculptural formative consciousness."
Kaneta's choice to utilize the unctuous, creamy white-pink glazes that have been the hallmark of traditional Hagi ware for centuries creates a balanced tension in his work. It is this ancient, classical glaze that defines and accentuates the craggy, mountainous features of the stoneware sculptures. The resulting works, which can resemble the topography of the earth from which they are made, are highly evocative of the landscape in the artist's native home in Hagi.
Kaneta currently serves as professor of ceramics at Tsukuba University, outside of Tokyo. He has been lauded both as a ceramist and a contemporary artist, being awarded several important prizes and numerous solo exhibitions throughout Japan. His work is recognized throughout the world and can be seen in the collections of such prestigious institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Brooklyn Museum; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; and National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Kaneta Masanao / New Works will be on view through October 22, 2008.

Modern Healthcare Honors FAH's Chip Kahn, Members on Annual "100 Most Influential" List
Modern Healthcare recently released its 20th annual 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare list. The Federation of American Hospitals is honored to have our membership represented, including FAH President and CEO Chip Kahn, who made the list for the 20th time – making him the only person to appear since the program started in 2001.
Modern Healthcare's annual list is a collaboration of both the magazine's senior editors' rankings as well as votes from readers and the general public. After a nomination process, readers and editors pick their favorites from a preliminary ballot of 300 healthcare leaders.
Auora Aguilar, the magazine's editor, said, "In a reflection of an evolving industry, the list has gone from recognizing executives at mostly provider and payer organizations to including outside influencers and leaders at nontraditional companies. Some of the external disrupters have promised to change the industry, only to realize that healthcare is indeed 'complicated.'"
The following FAH leaders appeared on this year's list:
Samuel Hazen, CEO, HCA
Chip Kahn, President and CEO, Federation of American Hospitals
Dr. Jonathan Perlin, President, Clinical Operations and Chief Medical Officer, HCA
This is the 20th anniversary of Modern Healthcare's Most influential list and Chip Kahn has the distinction of being the only person to appear on the list its inception. Modern Healthcare continues to recognize Chip for his efforts to delay cuts to Medicare and his impact on federal legislation and policies.

Get friendly with the newest trend in online genealogy: social networking Web sites that let you link up with fellow researchers and build trees online.
The sites in this section excel at helping you organize your family tree data and find other researchers interested in your ancestral surnames and places.
Note: This site is no longer available. FamilyLink now offers a genealogy social network called Genealogy Wise <www.genealogywise.com>.
Of any site here, this one from the growing database service World Vital Records <worldvitalrecords.com> most resembles popular social networking destinations such as Facebook. So far, 11,000 users from more than 1,700 cities have signed on.
Your FamilyLink profile can include your picture and biography, ancestral surnames and places, and extras such as languages you know and the genealogy software you use. Make your profile viewable to all or just your network of designated connections. You can invite friends to join Family Link, too. Click the Connect tab to browse public profiles.
Under the Tree section, you can upload your GEDCOM and use the site's Family Tree Viewer to see up to 12 generations of ancestors in several formats. Add biographical details, photos and images, too. Click the Surnames or Places tabs to look for others' surnames and places that match the ones in your tree.
Though it's not quite as graphically slick as some other sites we looked at, its focus on research makes it easy for genealogists to find and help each other.
One of several sites with British census records and vital-records indexes, FindMyPast.com has integrated the online family tree software of its recent acquisition, PedigreeSoft. Using the site's family tree builder, you can create two family trees, each with up to 25,000 names. Either build your tree online or upload a GEDCOM file. You can include notes and sources, and display your tree in ancestry, descendant and family views.
You get a lot of storage space — up to 200MB — to attach photos, documents and film and audio clips. Make your tree accessible only to the family and friends you invite or completely open to the public. Similar to Ancestry.com's options, you can automatically search FindMyPast.com databases for names in your tree, and you'l soon be able to collaborate with others on your tree. You do need to pay to see FindMyPast.com records, either individually or by subscription ($30 to $180).
Ancestor pages may include text and photos. They provide spaces for a person's name and places of birth and death, but curiously, not for dates. You can't upload or download a GEDCOM file.
Place pages are dedicated to geographic locales, such as your ancestral hometowns or countries. You can tell others where to find records, offer local history and research advice, and add maps and photos.
User groups can be private (open only to people you specify) or public (for example, everyone researching ancestors in the same place).
Blogs let you share discoveries. Contributions are stamped with the submitter's user name. If you're logged in, click Contact to e-mail the author. You can share family histories through the "Email this page" link that's at the bottom of every page.
LivingGenealogy.com looks promising if webmasters take care of issues such as lack of dates and GEDCOM support. Keep an eye on this site once it emerges from beta.
Billed as "The Internet's first completely free, completely online family history and genealogy application," SharedTree lives up to the hype. It works much like a standard genealogy program: Enter your family information manually or upload a GEDCOM file (which retains notes and sources). You also can upload images one by one.
Just like traditional genealogy software, SharedTree displays data in individual, family, ancestor and descendant views. Charts show two to nine generations with options including pedigree, table and photo charts, and a descendant circle. Print them yourself or order them.
You can search all the family trees — which contain 180,000 unique individuals — on name and birth and death dates and places. SharedTree lets you view submitters' e-mail addresses and send messages after you register with the site. In other users' trees, you can see details on deceased people and those older than 100, but you must be invited to see living people. Unlike most free online genealogy programs, SharedTree is so full-featured it could easily substitute for your regular software. And did I mention it's free?
You can upload a GEDCOM file or use WeRelate's Family Tree Explorer application to enter family data into your tree. Then the site creates a Web page for each person and family in your tree. In addition to names, dates and places, you can add digitized photos and documents, narratives and source notes, and you can track your research in logs.
By naming ancestral localities in your profile, you can get in touch with other members who've researched in those areas. Since WeRelate is a wiki — meaning anyone can edit pages — it's easy to work with relatives on ancestors' pages. You'll be notified of changes to pages you've edited or added to a watch list.
I found WeRelate difficult to navigate. In particular, searching for a name in family trees is a multistep process: Click the Connect tab, type in first and last names, select the WeRelate radio button and "Person (and Family)" from the pull-down menu, and hit Search. Since you can't narrow your search by date or place, it's hard to find relevant matches for a common name.
WeRelate's search engine, which scours more than 6 million genealogy Web pages, as well as its own wilds about library catalog items, is easier — click the Web tab and enter a name, place or keyword.
You'll want to explore die site by taking the 10-minute tour, and click the Help tab for a good overview. With a little patience, WeRelate can be a useful tool for you and your relatives to collaborate on research.
Basically pedigree databases, these sites have a few social networking enhancements.
Most social networking site founders are probably hoping for a big payoff someday. The creators of Genes Reunited, the largest British genealogy Web site, have already cashed in, selling to the ITV television network for $210 million.
In addition to British census records, civil-registration indexes and other collections, Genes Reunited has a growing user-contributed pedigree database with 125 million names in 7 million-plus trees. The GEDCOM upload here is a bit more difficult than on similar sites. You can upload only one GEDCOM file, and for best results, your name as die tree owner must match the tree's root name. A subsequent GEDCOM upload replaces die first one. Dates and places of birth and death transfer well, but other events and sources may get garbled or left out. On the plus side, you can attach photos to anyone in your file.
Genes Reunited provides three ways to search pedigrees: Look for a name (you can add a town or county), click to view matches to names in your tree, or register your family names to be notified of matches (including those from the site's census records).
A six-month membership costs about $15, and you must buy credits to view the census records and civil-registration indexes. Genes Reunited helps you get in touch with others researching your lines, but you can't collaborate on their trees, download a GEDCOM file or even view much information until you contact the submitter for permission. While it compares unfavorably with free pedigree databases such as WorldConnect, Genes Reunited is so popular among British genealogists that you can't afford to overlook its family tree file if you have ancestry in Great Britain.
NokTree.com has a key difference from ordinary pedigree sites: You can add to and edit records from outer submitters. This free site keeps track of changes to your data, and if you don't like how someone modified your tree, you can undo his or her work.
You can enter family information by typing it in or uploading a GEDCOM file. Before accepting your GEDCOM, NokTree.com goes through a cumbersome process that rejects records without both first and last names. Sources and notes are included when you enter family information manually, but not when you upload a GEDCOM file.
NokTree.com webmasters gathered most of the site's 2.3 million names with a bot that automatically scours the Internet for GEDCOMs. There's no way to tell where these records came from or who created them. Ironically, NokTree.com's user agreement forbids you to automatically copy data from its own database.
Advanced search options let you look for an exact date of birth, death or burial, which you can't do in most online family trees. If you don't know a female ancestor's maiden name, you might find her by searching on her given name and birth date.
NokTree.com's lack of GEDCOM sources is troubling. If you create trees here, edit your files to add sources.
You'll find these sites great for sharing photos, ancestral information and family news with relatives as well as other researchers.
This site provides tools for sharing photos, videos and calendars and building rudimentary family trees. You can enter your family information online or upload a GEDCOM file. Either way, the tree has space for names and dates of birth and death, but not for places, other events, notes or sources, so this site isn't very useful if your aim is to work out the details of your family tree.
The branches of Amiglia.com's family tree expand and contract as you maneuver your mouse over it. Click on a person to jump to his profile. It's pretty cool, but more flashy than practical.
Photos are Amiglia.com's forte, and you get unlimited photo and video storage to create albums for family, friends and even pets. After installing a helper application, you upload photos in a batch, or you can import them from the photo-sharing site Flickr <flickr.com>. You can give others a link to browse your album, invite them to add people and photos, or just select a few photos to e-mail them.
Once you've tagged your photos with titles, dates, names, places and themes, you can search your album and albums you have access to on any of these criteria. You can't search all photos or people.
After a 365-day free trial, Amiglia.com costs $49.95 a yean Take advantage of the unlimited photo and video storage, and that's a bargain. This site is more for family fun than for research, but it's great if you have a lot of photos to share.
Publishing ancestors' names and dates on the Web is easy enough, but what about your source documents and pictures? This service offers a way to put those online, too, along with notes about them.
Once you sign up for a free basic membership, you can upload images to your Footnote home page and annotate them by highlighting a portion of the document and typing a comment. You also can create Story Pages by uploading, for example, scanned newspaper clippings, snapshots and letters, then adding a story about your grandfather. It's almost like creating an online scrapbook.
Everything is summarized in your profile. Footnote indexes annotations and story pages, so long-lost relatives researching the same families might find your page. Nonsubscribers can't yet view annotated documents you got from Footnote databases, but you can get around that by adding the document to a Story Page and using the share feature to invite people to view it. Footnote spokesperson Justin Schroepfer says webmasters plan to make annotated Footnote images shareable with anyone.
Footnote focuses on historical documents; Schroepfer says the company has no immediate plans to add a tree builder or GEDCOM support. Of course, the company hopes you'll subscribe and use Footnote's resources — which include Revolutionary War and Confederate pension files — on your pages. Subscriptions cost $7.95 per month or $59.95 per year, or you can pay $1.95 to view a document. It's a terrific way to share images with family and connect with other researchers.
The founders of eBay and Yahoo! Groups created graphically superb Geni with a stronger focus on networking than on genealogy, but they've added researcher-friendly features. Start by entering your information, such as education, occupation and biography. Then add details on your parents and other relatives (living or dead), and those people get an e-mailed invite to add their relatives. The system accommodates dates and places of birth and death, but not baptisms, burials and other genealogical events.
Geni spokeswoman JoAnne Rockower says you should be able to upload a GEDCOM soon. You already can export a GEDCOM file, but it includes only names and relationships.
Like Amiglia.com, Geni lets you upload photos in a batch. Then you match them with family members and add captions. (This operates slowly on a dial-up connection.) You can set privacy levels for people you invite to view your family information, and exclude it from public searches. It's easy to navigate through your tree by clicking on the gray arrows, and you can customize how it displays. You can search Geni trees for a name, but not for a place or time period, so it's hard to find relevant matches for common names Other features include a calendar, timeline automatically populated with birthdays, and birthday reminders. You can get help with the site from a new users' wiki <wiki.geni.com>. It's all free, but Geni may eventually charge for some services. The site's growing fast: Users added more than 5 million names in the six months after it launched in January 2007.
If you're looking for a social networking site that helps you organize your research, store photos, connect with family and other researchers, and share data, take a look at these. If you don't need a do-it-all tool, you may find the options overwhelming.
Known for its vast collection of online databases, Ancestry.com also lets you build a family tree and connect with relatives online. Type in information or just upload a GEDCOM file (all facts transfer properly). You can add photos and documents — users have uploaded more than a million images — with searchable descriptions.
When you upload a GEDCOM, you can opt to make your tree accessible to all Ancestry.com members and add it to One-WorldTree, a search tool that integrates users' information with Ancestry.com databases. The site automatically searches its census and other records for names in your tree; a shaky leaf icon indicates a potential match. Creating a Member Tree is free, but you need a $155.40-per-year subscription to view OneWorldTree search results and most records that leaf teases you with.
Your Member Tree home page summarizes your photos, records and stories. The Ancestry Press service lets you create printable charts and reports, or design gifts you can purchase. With a storytelling feature, you can record an oral history over the phone and save it to your tree. Others you invite can edit your tree and add photos and stories. You control access by designating each person as a guest, contributor or editor. For instance, only the owner and editors can view notes.
This is a first-rate system for organizing your family history online and making it a group project. But if you're not up to building a whole tree, click Ancestry Community to create a profile with your basic information and research interests. You'l be part of Ancestry.com's Member Directory.
This Israeli startup debuted in 2005 with a celebrity look-alike photo search that attracted millions of Web surfers. Today, with support for 12 languages, MyHeritage has 17 million members, 180 million names in family trees, and more than 100 million uploaded photos.
You still can use the facial recognition tool to find your famous twin or see which parent a child resembles more. It may one day be able to match your picture of Great-grandma to one an unknown cousin uploaded. But more immediately useful is the easy system for typing information into a family tree. Or you can download the free Family Tree Builder, a full-featured genealogy program. I wasn't able to upload my GEDCOM file to MyHeritage, but I imported it into Family Tree Builder and used it to post my tree. You can have multiple trees and upload pictures, and make them public or limit access. It's free with a Basic plan that allows up to 1,000 names, 15 users and 250MB of storage. (Sites might be removed after 30 days with no activity.) Paid plans range from Silver ($2.95 a month) to Platinum ($9.95).
Click the Genealogy tab, then Genealogy Center to search public family trees by name and year range (webmasters are enhancing search functionality). You should be able to search photo captions and comments by clicking the Community tab and then Media Center, but it didn't work for me.
Click the Research tab to use MyHeritage's genealogy search engine (it scours more than 1,150 databases), message boards and Web sites for a surname plus spelling variations. You must subscribe to fee-based sites such as Ancestry.com to see matches from those databases.
MyHeritage is an excellent site for organizing family information and working with relatives around the world. Now genealogists are eager to see what MyHeritage does with recently acquired Pearl Street Software, creator of the GenCircles pedigree database and Family Tree Legends software and records collection. At press time, those products were free at <www.familytreelegends.com/downloads>.
<www.zooof.com> Genealogy social networking sites usually focus on one country. Not Zooof, a free Dutch site you can view in 35 languages.
Most users build family trees online. Simple, colorful screens and cool graphics make Zooof appealing. In fact, some history teachers have their students use it for family history assignments. You can upload a GEDCOM file, but Zooof is a bit finicky. Your name must be in the file, everyone must have both first and last names and no one's gender can be unknown. Even after I took care of all that, Zooof still rejected my file. Look for improvements in GEDCOM handling by the time you read this.
Once your file goes online, you can invite others to access your tree. A family management system lets you control who's allowed to work on profiles of deceased and inactive relatives. And you can post messages in a family mailbox.
Zooof is still a fledgling site, and more features, including advanced searching and match tools, are in the works. If you're exchanging family information with overseas relatives, it could be an ideal way to overcome the language barrier.
At press time, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' (LDS) familiar FamilySearch <www.familysearch.org> site was slowly (achingly so, you might even say) unrolling an overhaul that includes spiffy social networking features.
Genealogists have always been fans of the site's large searchable databases, including the Ancestral File of GEDCOMs containing millions of names, and the International Genealogical Index. On the revamped site, after discovering ancestral information in those databases, you'll be able to build an online family tree with the Pedigree Viewer and link scanned images of source documents to facts in the file. (Visit FamilySearch Labs <www.familysearchlabs.org> to get a sneak peek at the Viewer.) Other users can help by adding to your tree.
Eventually, FamilySearch also may incorporate the LifeBrowser, a multimedia scrapbook concept under development at FamilySearch Labs.
You may not get "friended" much if your profile contains these gems.

George Miller Suing Warner Bros For $7M Bonus From 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

Filmmaker George Miller is taking Warner Bros to court in Australia, alleging that the company reneged on paying him a multimillion-dollar bonus for the 2015 action hit Mad Max: Fury Road.
The veteran Aussie writer-director, who launched the Mad Max franchise in 1979 with Mel Gibson in the title role, claims the studio was contracted to pay him a $7 million bonus if the Tom Hardy-Charlize Theron sequel came in at a final cost of less than $157M. Miller vows that he is entitled to the bonus, but WB says the film went over budget due to decisions that he says forced substantial changes and delays to the sequel.
"We disagree and will vigorously defend against these claims," Warner Bros said in a statement to Deadline.
Warner Bros attempted to get the suit, launched without fanfare in September, moved out of Australia, but the Aussie Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the case will be litigated Down Under.
Miller's move will test an Australian consumer law regarding the studio's allegedly deceptive moves in making a deal without telling Miller how added costs would factor into budget calculations.
The filmmaker, whose credits include the Babe and Happy Feet films, also is challenging Warners' move to pact with RatPac Entertainment to help finance the movie, which won six Oscars last year. Miller says he and the studio had a deal giving his company the first chance to supply that funding.
The suit first was reported by the Sydney Morning Herald.

In 2017, Esports Arena and Allied Esports announced that they plan to convert the Luxor Hotel and Casino into the Las Vegas Strip's very first arena dedicated specifically to esports. Now, that arena is nearing completion with a set opening date of March 22, 2018. In celebration of the opening, a multi-day tournament that will be live streamed will be hosted by Esports Arena Las Vegas.
Rumor has it that the venue will more than likely offer day passes for public use, set at about $20 per person. That price has not yet been confirmed and taking part in a particular competition will take an additional fee, also as yet, unconfirmed.
Individual events, it is reported, will have both local and national sponsorship, which will help to keep the ticket prices down. Gamers will be happy to know that they will be able to enjoy all of the amenities available at the Luxor.
Jud Hannigan, who is the Allied Esports CEO said, "With Las Vegas rapidly becoming a hub for esports, Esports Arena Las Vegas at Luxor will be the city's home for competitive gaming and interactive entertainment".
In addition to the spot in Las Vegas, a mobile esports gaming venue has also been debuted, which will be known as Esports Arena Drive. This will be a semi truck that folds down to become a mobile gaming arena, complete with a stage, VIP Lounge and a social media center. The first multi-day tournament for the Esports Arena Drive will be hosted at the Daytona 500.
Additionally, the dedicated esports space will also have daily gaming stations, telescopic seating, an LED video wall, a competition stage and advanced streaming and production studios. It is certainly the first ever full time venue geared towards esports, but it is not likely to be the last.
In fact, the Millennial Esports arena, which opened last year in Vegas locations, have already said that they are interesting in creating more spaces for esports, which could be a signal for what they plan to do as their next move.
In 2016, Las Vegas's revenues suffered a bit of a loss. Numbers also suggest that there were fewer visitors to Las Vegas in 2017 than the year before, as well. The revenue the city brings in through gambling also hit record low numbers, which means that esports could be a welcomed addition for another source of revenue. | {

Grape seeds contain very special bioflavonoid called proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins are considered to be one of the most potent anti-oxidants available. Studies have shown these bioflavonoid to have stronger anti-oxidants properties than both vitamin E and vitamin C. Anti-oxidants like grape seed work synergistically with many substances found in our body. These special bioflavonoid work well with many different herbs especially immune enhancing ones such as black seed. Black seed has many properties that nourish the immune system in turn supporting the whole body.
Cough Syrup (Black seed & Honey) - The wonderful immune boosting qualities found in black seed work well in a liquid base such as honey.
In this form, it helps relieve coughs and minor irritations in the throat.
Cherry, blueberry, cinnamon and cloves are added to improve flavour making it more enjoyable for children.
Tranquil & Immu-Stress - Ginger and Thyme in this formula can help alleviate anxiety and stress. They are herbs that calm and nourish the nervous system. A recent study was done in Panama city, Florida where they were observing the effects of ginger and thyme. Ginger and thyme showed the ability to reduce anxiety and produce a tranquil effect within the body. Ginger usually has a stimulating effect on the body and can sooth the effects of motion sickness. Ginger is also known to be a thromboxane agonist which helps block anxiety receptors. Thyme has an antimicrobial effect and antiviral effect. Two wonderful and safe herbs to help us through our stressful days.
They can also be used to help a person quit smoking by reducing the cravings for cigarettes and food. Ginger and thyme help to control nervous tension. When black seed is added to the mix the immune system is supported while the body begins to detoxify from the toxic substances in cigarettes. Black seed also helps to heal the chronic inflammation in the lungs usually associated with smoking.

BAKING ESSENTIALS: INGREDIENTS THAT HELP WITH LOW-PROTEIN BAKING.
Base for baking low-protein products such as bread, cookies, is usually starches like wheat, corn, tapioca or potato. But the starches due to lack of gluten do not have pliability or elasticity. Hence addition of fiber such as psyllium would be beneficial in making pliable dough.
Important addition( to low-protein baking ) to starches to make pliable dough. Back bone of the dough. Cheaper than other gums if available. Regular flavor sometimes is harder to get and also contains sugar and preservatives as added ingredients.
a form of fiber that when added to starch gives body when making dough similar to psyllium fiber. More expensive than psyllium but very few suppliers.
A form of fiber that gives body to starches in making dough similar to other fibers such as psyllium. More expensive than psyllium and available in health food stores or even well-stocked supermarkets. Xantham gum should be used in very small quantities otherwise it can make the end product a little "gummy" or gluey. The right amount for a recipe varies and has to be set with trial and error. Depending on the item baked right amount could vary from time to time.
Even if it is within the date of expiration, always activate the yeast with warm water and sugar and let sit for 5-10 minutes before adding to the mix to make the dough. The yeast mixture should be a lot bubbly and domed showing that yeast is active.
Make sure the temperature of water added to yeast is not too high that it kills the yeast; yeast cannot tolerate temperatures above 110 F. Higher temperatures will kill the yeast and dough will not rise or expand since there won't be enough carbon dioxide gas produced by active yeast to give a spongier texture for the bread.
Once the dough is made, with the lack of gluten, kneading should be kept to a minimum since otherwise it would lead to really crumbly bread. The rising time for the dough is also kept to a minimum since lack of gluten doesn't make the dough expand or stretch as much as the dough made with regular flour.
Dough should be made to rise in a draft-free warm place to rise for specific time covered tightly with plastic wrap. Best place for it would be the oven turned on for a few minutes at the lowest setting and turned off (make sure it is turned off, otherwise it cooks the dough instead of helping it rise).
In recipes such as cookies, cakes, etc increasing the amount of baking powder slightly could improve the texture of the end product without using eggs. Addition of instant pudding and pie mix also improves the texture. When buying the instant pudding and pie mix make sure it doesn't contain any non-fat or skim milk powder since it may increase the protein content of the mixture.
I prefer to use stainless steel bowls since they are non-reactive and are easier to handle than plastic or glass. Invest in at least 2-3 mixing bowls. (Select good quality ones since cheap ones tend to rust). Plastic scraper makes the job of scraping the dough out of a mixing bowl soooooo... easy. They usually have rounded edges and are flexible to conform to the shape of the bowl when scraping. Rubber spatulas also work in a similar way but buy ones that are really flexible and not stiff.
I use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar together to make the mixture fluffy. The electric mixture makes the job of mixing quicker than if mixing by hand. If using a wooden spoon, using the back of the spoon to mix gives a better even beating to any mixture.
Everyone should have at least 1 set of measuring cups each for dry and wet ingredients. Buy the measuring cups from a reputable kitchen store since cheap ones may not be accurate and this affects the recipes. Do not interchange in using the measuring cups for dry and wet ingredients since each type is for that specific purpose only. Weighing out the ingredients, especially low-protein mix always ensures success since measuring ingredients may cause inconsistency in the results.
Due to the presence of various added ingredients in the recipes, it is advisable not to sift the mix. Using a wire whisk you can whisk in air while mixing the dry ingredients together.
Cookies when baked on an aluminum cookie sheet don't brown the bottom more quickly than the rest of the cookie and so they are my first and only choice. (Non-stick ones tend to brown/blacken the bottom of the cookies faster). Even with aluminum pans I prefer to buy those that are 2-layered, which facilitate even baking. I prefer to have at least 2 cookie sheets so while baking one batch I could get the 2nd batch shaped or pressed and get ready.
You can use a cookie press and press out different shapes directly on the baking sheet without having the hassle of using scoops, etc. It presses out evenly shaped cookies at a fraction of a time and there are even electric presses available in the market today. | {

We've all had those urges. You know, when people are posing for a photo and the desire – no, the overwhelming NEED – to gatecrash overcomes you. What? You just really want to be included in the photo! It's not your fault. It's FOMO's fault.
Little did you know, you've been photobombing since you were five. The Bunny Ears is an entry-level photobomb for all of those who are a little too afraid to go Full Monty. We get it. Just claim it was a peace sign gone wrong.
Inspired by the Internet sensation (if you don't know the thumb man, then find out quick and don't ever admit to your friends that it took you this long) it's time to make yourself look like a thumb. Yes, really. Get a friend involved and you can compare how many chins you have. The winner gets eternal pride and glory. As well as their multiple chins captured for eternity.
What's that, a photo's about to be taken? So fly into that picture before anyone can mutter "Say Cheese". If that means you have to throw your entire body in front of everyone to block their smiling faces, then that's just what you're gonna have to do. You go, Glen Coco.
This might happen when you unknowingly stumble into a picture. Whether you know the folks or not, there's nothing worse than looking like a caught-off-guard cat in any snap (these last forever, you know). Instead, get out that creepy smile that you save for only your closest friends. It's what Mr. Bean would've done.
How. Dare. They. Your friends are taking a picture without you. Well, NOT UP IN HERE! Slide into the group shot like you were always destined to be in it. Everyone knows it wouldn't have been complete without you anyway.
The beauty of sneaking up on a picture whilst you're behind a glass wall or a window means no one can hear you coming. You squish your face on the window. You squish your face like you've never squished before.
We all know how it feels to be star-struck, but a little too chicken to approach a celebrity. Take a selfie or a picture of your friend where said celebrity happens to be standing behind you, probably with a mouthful of sandwich. Now they're the ones 'photobombing'. You're all best friends and they don't even know it yet.
Alternatively, continue to take pictures and pray someone famous decides to pops up, this time on purpose. ONE DAY.
It's natural to feel left out when two people decide to PDA in front of the world. Well, not for long! Celebrate the love by bouncing into that picture that was, initially, destined for Instagram. Yes, both you and the picture may be unwanted, but don't let them ruin your fun. Who said three was a crowd?
The saucy finger bite, wink-and-gun-finger combo and Kylie Jenner pout are all ways to show that you're the real star of this picture. Send over the modeling contract, you're ready. And girl? You BETTER WERK. | {

In this video, Attorney Andrew Connelly explains the steps you must take to file a lawsuit for an auto accident. Contact one of our experienced personal injury lawyers in Buffalo NY if you were injured.
In order to file a lawsuit in New York State, certain things must be done before you can file that paperwork with the county clerk's office. For example, you might be required to file what's called a Notice of Claim with a local municipality within 90 days of the accident. If you don't do that, you may lose your right to file a lawsuit later. The statute of limitations on these cases can vary greatly, and there's a one-year statute of limitations that affects filing claims against certain entities. On the other hand, a three-year statute of limitations applies in most cases, when you're alleging negligence against another person.
The key to success is to make sure you preserve your right to file that lawsuit by filing the appropriate documents before the deadline. We can certainly help you with that, and we will gladly talk with you about what you need to do to ensure timely filing of all your paperwork. If we have to do an early deposition – and sometimes a municipality will require that – we'll do that with you, making sure to keep everything in line so that you can file your lawsuit if the insurance company – or the municipality – doesn't settle your case within the time frame set forth by the statute of limitations. | {

Q: How do I turn a while loop into a recursive method? I need help turning this while loop into a recursive method? How do I do this?
while z <= len(list):
if z = len(list): #base case
return something
else:
#do something else
z += 1
A: def func(my_list, z):
if z == len(my_list):
return something
else:
# do something else
return func(my_list, z+1)
z = someValue
print func(my_list, z)
You should not use list as variable name.
A: z = 1
while z <=5:
if z == 5:
print 'base case'
else:
print 'repeated text'
z += 1
This is translated to recursive code as follows. You can work on your case based on this
def recursion(z):
assert z <= 5
if z == 5:
print 'base case'
else:
print 'repeated text'
recursion(z+1)
recursion(1)
A: I will implement the recursive function using while loop ---Factorial----
(1)It will call the fact function recursively based on while condition
(2)You can add if or nested if according to your problem statement
def fact(num):
while num>1:
return num*fact(num-1)
else:
return num
result = fact(3)
print(result)
6
A: condition = lambda n: n >= 3
repetition = lambda n: print(f'{n}: Repeating Line')
termination = lambda n: print(f'{n}: Terminal Line')
def recursive(n):
if condition(n):
repetition(n)
n = recursive(n-1)
else:
termination(n)
return n
def iterative(n):
while condition(n):
repetition(n)
n -= 1
termination(n)
return n
def main():
n = 4
print("Recursion Example")
result = recursive(n)
print(f'result = {result}')
print()
print("Iteration Example")
result = iterative(n)
print(f'result = {result}')
print()
main()
>>> Recursion Example
>>> 4: Repeating Line
>>> 3: Repeating Line
>>> 2: Terminal Line
>>> result = 2
>>>
>>> Iteration Example
>>> 4: Repeating Line
>>> 3: Repeating Line
>>> 2: Terminal Line
>>> result = 2

Photographer Shahidul Alam Revisits a Tragedy that Changed Bangladesh Forever
Eight years after the Tazreen Fashions Factory fire in Dhaka, Alam writes about photographing the anti-government protests of the survivors
This article is the second part of a series on contemporary art in South Asia guest edited by Skye Arundhati Thomas. Read the previous entry, '"Myself Mona Ahmed": Revisiting Dayanita Singh's Landmark Photobook', here.
I entered the giant graveyard. It was quiet except for my own footsteps but, in my head, I could hear the screams. Rows of blackened sewing machines, still in orderly lines, reinforced the sense that I was looking at tombstones. There were no flowers here, however. No epitaphs. No mourners.

A fire had raged through the Tazreen Fashions garment factory in Dhaka on 24 November 2012. Workers stationed on the building's third and fourth floors had rushed to the exits, only to find them locked. This was common practice in many Bangladeshi garment factories. Fires and worker deaths were, sadly, all-too-common. The owners justified the locking of the doors as a 'security measure', but workers were effectively prisoners during working hours. As the heat and smoke built up, the panic-stricken labourers, who were unable to break down the iron gates, rushed to the windows and somehow managed to remove the metal grills. It was a long way down, but many jumped. One by one. Some screamed with pain as they fell; others were silent. Each landed with a dull thud, their bodies crumpled on the uneven ground below. Possible death was still a better choice than certain death. And some did survive.
The Tazreen Fashions fire – the deadliest in the nation's history – appeared in a newsfeed on my connecting flight to Istanbul. Two days later, when I arrived in Dhaka, I drove straight to the factory with my camera. The shell of the building was eerily empty; ghostlike. I recognized the smell of burnt flesh. Turning my camera to vertical mode, I took several overlapping images, panning over the gritty landscape of the burnt-out floor. (The Photoshop technique of auto-stitching, which blends adjacent images into a single seamless panorama, had not yet arrived in Bangladesh, nor had the AI algorithms that would make such stitching easier.) I shot in RAW to ensure I could capture the extreme range of tones created by the charred skeleton of the building, and the sunlight leaking in through the broken windows. The crunch of burnt debris under my shoes echoed across the empty factory as I neared its exit. I walked gingerly down the blackened staircase, unsure if it could carry my weight. Light streamed through the bare openings. That's when I saw the white scratch marks of those who had tried to escape, where the charcoal had been wiped away.

I wondered if the marks were those of Jorina – one of the survivors I have come to know. She, too, had eventually jumped. The impact of her fall had damaged her spine permanently, but she'd survived – although she often says she might have been better-off dead. In total, 119 people died in the fire and more than 200 were injured. Of those who survived, several have since passed away.
While court proceedings into the tragedy began on 1 October 2015, the case still drags on. Unbelievable as it may sound, the government has yet to appoint a public prosecutor. On 7 November 2019, the government failed to produce witnesses. On 30 January 2020, the judge was absent. On 31 March, there was a mandatory suspension due to COVID-19. On 15 October, the judge was absent again. The next hearing is scheduled for 13 January 2021. Based on how things have gone over the past eight years, the outcome is unlikely to be different.
For more than two months, Jorina and other injured workers, still traumatized from the fire, have been camping out on the pavement outside the National Press Club to demand justice. Over the years, a group of us has sought to offer support to the survivors by providing counselling, legal advice, court representation and photographic documentation. Our aim is to give them hope, without raising false expectations.
I was there on Tuesday 24 November, the eighth anniversary of the disaster, when survivors dressed as 'living corpses' marched from their vigil at the National Press Club to Gonobhobon, the Prime Minister's official residence. They had three demands: lifetime compensation, respectable and realistic rehabilitation, and long-term treatment for injured workers. The police stopped them fewer than 100 metres from where they started their march. Unable to counter the brute force of the law-enforcement officers, the workers lay down in front of their barricade. 'We're going to die anyway, so let's die here,' I heard someone say.
It was then that I spotted one of the ubiquitous stencils of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, or Mujib, considered the father of the nation, whose face peers out from every hoarding and sign. The first Prime Minister of Bangladesh, who served from 1971 until his assassination in 1975, Mujib is presented as a deity by the current regime. Like the rest of us, he had failings, but criticism of him is banned, the official history deemed sacrosanct. Certainly, his love for his people – for which he paid the ultimate price – was beyond question. He was also one of the country's most accessible leaders. Stories of his stepping out onto the veranda of his house, at Dhanmondi Road 32, in a lungi and vest, might not have been protocol for a head of government meeting the public, but was typical of Mujib. It was this humility that endeared him to the nation.
Mujib's image has become propaganda, and to show him disrespect is now considered sedition. Yet, as artists, we have to find ways around such restrictions, and this was a moment I needed to capture: the stencilled face of Mujib watching helplessly as the fascist regime his party has become suppressed injured and impoverished garment workers. It is an image that requires no explanation for a Bangladeshi. The subtext transforms an ordinary photograph of protest into a powerful political statement. And for the authorities to censor this photo would mean them having to acknowledge these implications.

Mujib's daughter now leads the party her father shaped, but it has morphed into a very different entity. A party by the elite, of the elite, for the elite, it pays little heed to workers with legitimate demands. While his stencilled face may have been bound to remain impassive, faced with this sight, the real Mujib would surely have shed many a tear.

Duct likes mixing code from beginner tutorials, half-way projects and completed projects. He doesn't stick to one coding style, one naming convention, etc. He doesn't have specific goals that he can achieve by understanding what is he doing, because simply he doesn't understand what is he doing. Anyway his project will be used only by himself.
None really, every snippet of code, even when irrelevant, can be integrated to his project.
Writing an OS is a hard task that can't be achieved by copying and pasting random snippets of code. One has to know what does he do and how everything works together. In short, Duct is not the appropriate archetype for an OS developer.

"Democracy Needs Everyone: The Urgency of Ending Felony Disenfranchisement in California" is a first-of-its-kind report unveiling our groundbreaking research on the importance of restoring the right to vote to people in prison and on parole.
People who are incarcerated and on parole believe that restoring the right to vote would improve public safety. A majority of respondents indicated that voting would make them feel connected to their community and help prevent them from returning to prison. Many had policy proposals on how to prevent incarceration in the first place.
People who are incarcerated and on parole want to vote. They care about issues that affect everyone, not just themselves, and have ideas about how to make our country a better place.
People who are incarcerated and on parole contribute to their community in a variety of ways. They are trying to have a positive impact despite their circumstances, and we would all benefit by hearing their voices, as they grapple with social issues, political concerns, and ideas for a better future. | {

This week's Refresher Friday takes an updated look at knowing when (and if) to start that sequel. Enjoy!
So many books are series-based these days (especially in some genres), which can leave a lot of writers asking the same question--when is a good time to start my sequel?
I asked my agent the same thing before she sent my manuscript out on submission way back in 2008. She'd advised that I prepare a synopsis for the next two books so she'd have something to show editors, but to start on a new, non-sequel book in the meantime. Her reasoning was that if the first book didn't sell, I wouldn't have wasted time on a sequel that also wouldn't sell, and would instead be ready with a new book.
Just about everyone will tell you not to write the sequel for a book you haven't sold yet (for the above reasons). Some folks (myself included) who've written the rest of the trilogy after they sold the first book swear they'd never do it again. They'd write the whole thing first and then submit. There are pros and con to either side, and no right or wrong here--just what you feel is best for you.
Stories change as they evolve, and what we think is going to go one way often goes another. When we have a book published and out in the world, we can't make changes to the story. Whatever we wrote in book one, we're stuck with. I found that true with The Shifter and after going through the trilogy experience, I'm in the "complete an entire first draft of a trilogy before I submit book one" camp. There were too many things I wish I could have gone back and tweaked by the time I got to book three.
If we write the entire thing at once, anything we do in book three can be added to book one, and the entire series can be fleshed out as one story. Stories do change as ideas appear, and even writing skill improves over the course of three books.
However, for a straight series (such as a mystery or romance), the stories are typically different in every book, even if they're set in the same world using the same characters. They don't rely on a previous book as much to understand the next book.
The other camp sees no reason to spend time and emotional energy on books that might not sell. Having six or seven sequels ready to go is great if we sell that first book, but we can't guarantee a sale, and writing all those sequels could take years. We worry that spending so much time in one world with one set of characters, might make it harder to break away and write something new.
We also worry about the sheer time it takes to write an entire series before submitting it. Markets could change before we get it written, leaving us with a slew of books with little future until the market changes again. But if we have a variety of manuscripts ready to go when a trend hits, it could put us in the right place at the right time to take advantage of that trend.
Writing only book one makes more sense from a time management perspective. We can explore various ideas and have more options to show agents and editors. This is especially useful for writers who have multiple story ideas in multiple genres or markets. We can have several books out there at the same time.
Some writers prefer to visit both camps, borrowing a little from each side. We enjoy crafting a very detailed outline or synopsis to help us get the major plot points aligned and figured out, and still let us write one book and submit it. We create in-depth character studies and world building notes to make sure we have a solid handle on how things work and how people live in that world, and how those things will change as the series evolves. If we write one and then wait, the more details we can flesh out about the next few books will be a tremendous help when we sit down to write them. We might even write a few chapters in each book, such as the openings or endings, or major scenes we know we want to write.
Which camp we fall into can change per story, as well. Some stories might demand to be written first, even if our preferences lean the other way. If we have a multi-book story idea that we feel passionate about, and it's an all or nothing deal for us emotionally, then we'd likely be willing to invest the extra time and write all three before we start querying. If we have plenty of ideas and don't feel emotionally driven to write a sequel unless someone asks for it, we can move on to other stories.
No matter which camp you fall into, rest assured you're not alone there. It's your choice what works best for you, and you get to decide how your stories get written.
Are you in the "write it first" or "wait and see" camp?
Wow, I never thought of it that way. I think I'm going to follow your--and your agent's--lead and get started on a different book while I shop around the current ms. Thanks for the input!
I can see benifits to both sides. Having the first book out there (I self published), there are a couple of things I would have tweaked in the first book as I work through the second. I did have about half the second one done though, so there aren't too many of them. I'm finding that I'm having to be a little creative, but I'm still not sorry that I published the first while writing the second.
Funny coincidence, I wrote about sequels on my blog today too!
I like your idea of a detailed synopsis to pick up later, especially given the possible difficulty of diving into a different story.
I'm currently working on a trilogy. The first book, however, can exist without the two following one, which are more closely connected. Most of the characters of the first book don,t appear in the following ones. That way, if the first one didn`t sell, I could always tweak the two others to be entirely disconnected from the first one.
As a note, if you follow the self-publishing model, having them all drafted before you start lets you put them out on a regular schedule.
I call mine "sequentials" because the stories are sequential with a mystery that carries across but the main characters change from book to book.
Main characters from the previous books are in the later stories but they aren't the focus. There may be another name for this type of series but I don't know it.
The plan is for each one to be written stand alone. Hopefully I can stick to the plan.
Lynn, I like that name. And that style. You see that a lot in category romance, actually. Works great!
I have just finished my first book and am considering agents. I was sitting in front of my computer trying to decide whether to pick up on book two of the series or to get out another one I've been working on. You have certainly made me think. I might try to write the synopsis of the second book and inhabit the stand-alone one on the basis that freshness might improve the quality of both!
Thanks for your timely post. | {

With ardour and eloquence, she mounts a head-on problem to the idea that battle as an establishment is both worthwhile or potent for sturdy. Refuting the proposal that human nature condemns us to perpetual carnage, she argues that we will swap the methods we predict and the platforms we are living by means of. In a tightly reasoned dialogue of the ethics of warfare and peace she asserts that battle is a gross denial of the center values on which peace relies, and that the simply struggle idea has failed and deceived us.

This right is, however, being increasingly challenged and 'relativised' in practice, as recent wars have demonstrated – wars that have ostensibly been waged (among other reasons) to protect the rights of people within those countries. Many would argue, conscientiously, that state boundaries should not be sacrosanct and that when terrible things are being done within them 'something should be done'.
