It's looking like 2017 is going to be a busy year for Surfer Blood. Today the indie rock band announced two headlining tours for next year. One will take place in the winter, and the other in the spring. Dates for both tours can be seen below.
Not only will Surfer Blood be touring all across North America next year, but the band will also release a brand new album entitled Snowdonia. The album is set to be released on via Joyful Noise on Feb. 3, which is less than a week after their headlining tour kicks off.
The album Snowdonia features a total of 8 songs, and it will be the follow-up to their 2010 release, Astro Coast. Today the band put out a music video for "Matter of Time," which is a brand new song from their upcoming album.
Tickets for select concerts on Surfer Blood's 2017 headlining tour are on sale now. The majority of the dates won't go on sale until Dec. 16. Tickets for their concert on April 19 in Allston, Mass. at Great Scott can be bought via AXS.com.

Q: Docker build ADD vs RUN curl If I run a dockerfile where I have a command like
RUN curl -o file.txt http://X.X.X.X/path/to/file/file.txt
the build works, whereas if I use
ADD http://X.X.X.X/path/to/file/file.txt file.txt
The build fails and it complains about
Got HTTP status code >= 400: 503 Service Unavailable
Is there something about ADD that I'm not understanding?
Edit the file is also accessible through the docker host.
A: ADD is executed in docker host.
The ADD instruction copies new files, directories or remote file URLs
from <src> and adds them to the filesystem of the image at the path
<dest>.
RUN is executed inside your container.
The RUN instruction will execute any commands in a new layer on top of
the current image and commit the results. The resulting committed
image will be used for the next step in the Dockerfile.
Specifically the command RUN curl -o file.txt http://X.X.X.X/path/to/file/file.txt executes curl that must have already been installed in the image we are using. If the curl command has not been installed (and is not present in the base image) the entire RUN command fails.
Instead the command ADD url can be performed even without having installed curl (or analogues) inside the container just because it is executed by the host (it uses the Go libraries with which it is written docker) during the creation of our image.
Is http://X.X.X.X/path/to/file/file.txt accessible outside of your docker container?
Edit: as confirmed by the author of the question:
My docker host lives behind a firewall that has a proxy set in the
/etc/default/docker file. So while I wanted to grab a file internal
to the network I'm on, the proxy caused it to look outside the
network.

Why They Will Win It All: On a per tournament basis, the Stompers have had the most success of any team in Mid Atlantic this season with three tournament titles and one runner up finish. The team has done so in large part because of an MVP caliber season from Chris Sarnowski. Chris is a legit two-way threat, equally capable of changing the game with his bat as he is with his arm. Sarno is one of only four players to toss 20 or more innings in a single Mid Atlantic tournament this year. Should the Stompers find themselves locked in extra inning battles and/or long series, his ability to go long will come in handy. At the plate, Sarno is a big time power threat and has accounted for his team's only runs with a homer a handful of times this summer.
Furthermore, if the team so chooses, they can ride Sarno for multiple games and 15 or more innings in the semi-finals with the comfort of knowing that they have Jordan Robles waiting in the wings. Jordan was his typically impressive self at the plate and on the carpet this season. Nobody loves the drama and intensity of a championship game more than Robles who almost always rises to the occasion when the lights are the brightest. Robles is one of the best the sport has to offer and probably the last hitter or pitcher any team will want to see on the 8th with a game on the line.
The 1-2 combo of Sarno and Robles is hard to beat, but the Stompers will also have veteran Nick Schaefer to go to if needed. In this format, Schaefer might act as a safety net of sorts for his squad. In the unfortunate event of an injury or underperformance, Schaefer – with years of big game experience – can take the ball as a spot starter or a late inning reliever. Schaefer could also take the ball in less pressure-packed situations and take some of the burden off Robles and Sarno. The Stompers undoubtedly have the pitching depth needed to win the tournament.
Offensively, the Stompers ran hot and cold this year but have gotten the big hits when needed from virtually everyone on their roster. They are the only Championship Tournament team with four players bringing a .200+ batting average into the Championship Tournament. Robles and Sarno are liable to go on a tear at a moment's notice while Schaefer and Tim Cooke are veteran hitters who showed they still have a few big hits left in their bats. As a team, the Stompers get on base enough that they are usually able to find a way to push a run or two across against top tier pitchers.
Why They Won't: If the Stompers' bats do run cold, all the pitching in the world might not be enough to save them. In 25 games played during the regular season, the Stompers scored one run or less 13 times. They won their fair share of those games thanks to the pitching but living on the edge in that fashion can come back to bite them. In terms of potential Championship Tournament opponents, the Stompers are 2-2 against the Lemon Heads and have yet to really solve Ray Lutick. Their 2-1 record versus ERL looks solid but the third game was a veritable coin flip and one run decided the other two games. Which is all to say that the Stompers will likely have very little margin for error on the 8th. A lengthy stretch of offensive futility or a single down day from one player could easily spell the end of their quest to repeat as Mid Atlantic champions. | {

for those who made it possible.
It's funny how I can obsess over things that don't matter. After a week out of town at a conference, stuck inside all day and night, you'd think that I'd just be happy to have an opportunity to ride.
In the end, it didn't matter. Every route is going to have heat and wind. Besides, instead of my usual 6:30am start, I didn't roll out until 8:30am.
Second, I deliberately backed-off on the pace from my recent rides. So what if the wind was peeling the whiskers off my chin? That's what low gears are for.
So call me Pokey. I was on the Ramble route, and was in pure ramble mode. It's a nice route. No reason to roll through it too fast, or to be too distracted by gasping for air to enjoy the countryside.
Some of you who have joined me for our little annual Country Path Ramble, might recognize a few of these scenes. Those of you who haven't yet joined us for our late fall gravel event might what to consider it.
We have a few clumps of trees here and there, and down around the creek crossings, but most of my riding is across the vast north Texas prairie, where the wind blown grasses look like ocean waves. At this time of year, that means lots of hot sunshine that seems to accumulate on my body like the gravel dust on my bike. So after about 4 hours of almost continuous riding, it was time to cool down.
This is one of the few hilltop shady spots. With today's winds at 22-27mph, you could close your eyes and lean right into it. Quite refreshing.
I guess that's just how folks are. Rarely satiated, we tend to tinker and experiment, looking to make things a little better. Some might suggest that kind of hunger is the fuel of our economy. They might also suggest that change often doesn't make any sort of useful improvement at all. Maybe this desire for change, not only fuels the economy, but fashion as well. Because after we try new things a few times, it is common to end up back where we started. So what of today? Refinement or fad?
Well, I'm invested. Just like changing the house paint from brown to green, here we are. It looks good enough to me. Here's the new rut this old curmudgeon is crawling into, and I plan to stay awhile. | {

Astrophysicists Unveil Biggest-Ever 3D Map of Universe
July 21, 2020 Rakesh SashmalComments Off on Astrophysicists Unveil Biggest-Ever 3D Map of Universe
The map involves efforts of scientists from 30 institutions worldwide
The project launched more than two decades ago
The map relies on the observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
Astrophysicists on Monday published the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, the result of an analysis of more than four million galaxies and ultra-bright, energy-packed quasars.
The efforts of hundreds of scientists from around 30 institutions worldwide have yielded a "complete story of the expansion of the universe", said Will Percival of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
In the project launched more than two decades ago, the researchers made "the most accurate expansion history measurements over the widest-ever range of cosmic time", he said in a statement.
The map relies on the latest observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), titled the "extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey" (eBOSS), with data collected from an optical telescope in New Mexico over six years.
The infant Universe following the Big Bang is relatively well known through extensive theoretical models and observation of cosmic microwave background — the electromagnetic radiation of the nascent cosmos.
Studies of galaxies and distance measurements also contributed to a better understanding of the Universe's expansion over billions of years.
'Troublesome gap'
But Kyle Dawson of the University of Utah, who unveiled the map on Monday, said the researchers tackled a "troublesome gap in the middle 11 billion years".
Through "five years of continuous observations, we have worked to fill in that gap, and we are using that information to provide some of the most substantial advances in cosmology in the last decade," he said.
Astrophysicist Jean-Paul Kneib of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, who initiated eBOSS in 2012, said the goal was to produce "the most complete 3D map of the Universe throughout the lifetime of the Universe."
For the first time, the researchers drew on "celestial objects that indicate the distribution of matter in the distant Universe, galaxies that actively form stars and quasars."
The map shows filaments of matter and voids that more precisely define the structure of the Universe since its beginnings, when it was only 380,000 years old.
For the part of the map relating to the Universe six billion years ago, researchers observed the oldest and reddest galaxies.
For more distant eras, they concentrated on the youngest galaxies — the blue ones. To go back even further, they used quasars, galaxies whose supermassive black hole is extremely luminous.
The map reveals that the expansion of the Universe began to accelerate at some point and has since continued to do so.
The researchers said this seems to be due to the presence of dark energy, an invisible element that fits into Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity but whose origin is not yet understood.
Astrophysicists have known for years that the Universe is expanding, but have been unable to measure the rate of expansion with precision.
Comparisons of the eBOSS observations with previous studies of the early universe have revealed discrepancies in estimates of the rate of expansion.
The currently accepted rate, called the "Hubble constant", is 10 percent slower than the value calculated from the distances between the galaxies closest to us.

Post-Match Report
Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd: How it happened
Aidan Small 07 Feb 2019
Manchester United Women -
Thu Feb 7 - 19:30
FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup
Miedema (18
Manchester United Women
A Vivianne Miedema brace booked our place in the FA Women's Continental League Cup final on Thursday night, as we ran out 2-1 winners over Manchester United.
The Netherlands international has now scored 25 goals in all competitions this season, while Louise Quinn delivered a dominant defensive performance on her 50th appearance for the club.
Katie McCabe carved open the game's first chance, shifting the ball on to her left foot and firing over from the edge of the box, before Jess Sigsworth raced beyond Emma Mitchell and fizzed a low effort narrowly wide.
The visitors then went on to enjoy a brief spell of possession, but this created space for us to attack - and following an inch-perfect pass from Dominique Bloodworth, Miedema opened the scoring.
The Netherlands international latched on to Bloodworth's incisive pass, raced through on goal and poked the ball past Siobhan Chamberlain with great composure.
Chances were few and far between for the remainder of the first half, but on the stroke of half-time, Quinn had a golden opportunity to double our advantage only to see her powerful effort cleared by some fine defending from Katie Zelem.
United troubled us with their defensive organisation during the first half, but following the break, we wasted no time in stamping our authority on the Championship side.
Beth Mead and Leah Williamson forced Chamberlain into saves, before Miedema stepped up once again to make the difference.
The 22-year-old received the ball inside the box, shifted the ball on to her left foot and fired into the back of the net for her second of the evening.
United pulled one back in the 83rd minute through Katie Green, but our defence stood strong to ensure there would be no late drama.
We will face Manchester City in the final of the competition on Saturday, February 23.
The game will take place at Bramall Lane with kick-off at 12.15pm (UK time). | {

This Practice Direction is to be read with, and subject to, the ADGM Court Procedure Rules 2016. Except as provided otherwise in this Practice Direction, terms have the meanings set out in those Rules.
1.1 ADGM Courts' Registry is located in the ADGM Authorities Building, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi.
1.2 Documents cannot be filed in person at the Registry unless the Court has made an order requiring or permitting a party to do so or the Registrar is satisfied that the party seeking to file the document is unable to access the ADGM eCourts Platform.
1.3 Registry staff can explain and answer questions of an administrative or procedural nature, such as the correct form to use or the listing dates of parties' cases. Parties or their representatives are strongly encouraged to send any enquiries to the Registry via email to [email protected].
1.4 Registry staff cannot provide legal advice about any claim or assist any party to complete a form.
1.5 Prescribed forms are published on ADGM Courts' website. All documents filed with ADGM Courts must comply with the requirements of the relevant prescribed form, including font size, margins and pagination. Failure to adhere to the requirements of the prescribed form may lead to the rejection of a document for filing.
(d) the Registrar's decision on review shall be final and not subject to further administrative review.
1.7 To ensure accessibility, efficiency and fairness for all parties, ADGM Courts' operations and services are fully digitised.
1.8 Documents can be filed at any time and on any day of the year and will be date stamped accordingly, subject to payment of any applicable court fees. Rule 6 provides for the calculation of periods of time.
1.9 Parties must file all documents using the ADGM Courts' electronic filing and case management systems, known as the "ADGM eCourts Platform", in accordance with the requirements set out in this Practice Direction.
(e) "upload", in relation to a document, means to transfer an electronic version of the document from a computer or other device to the ADGM eCourts Platform.
1.11 Any person or organisation may apply to be a registered user of the ADGM eCourts Platform by completing and submitting the online application form and agreeing to comply with the terms and conditions published on that platform.
1.12 A person or organisation must be registered to file a document with the Court.
1.13 A true and complete copy of each document must be uploaded in a format that is permitted by the ADGM eCourts Platform.
1.14 The ADGM eCourts Platform has the capability to "parse" (read or copy) the content of certain sections of documents that have been converted from a Word version of any document to a PDF version (but not a scanned PDF). Accordingly, the PDF version of a form is the preferred format of the ADGM eCourts Platform for those documents that are appropriate to be in that format. For example, a claim form filed by a lawyer representing the claimant who is also verifying the claim should adopt that format. Conversely, a witness statement will need to be uploaded in the format of a PDF scan to ensure that the witness' signature appears on the statement.
1.15 Each document uploaded must be accurately described, as required by the ADGM eCourts Platform. For example, if the document is an affidavit, the description of the document must include the name of the deponent and the date that the affidavit was sworn or affirmed.
1.16 If a document that is required to be signed is uploaded in the format of a scanned PDF, the document must include a clear, legible copy of the signature of the person who signed the document. All scanned PDF documents uploaded to the ADGM eCourts Platform should be OCR (Optical Character Recognition) readable.
(b) if the document is required to be witnessed, a clear, legible copy of the signature of the witness.
1.18 A party who has filed a document via the ADGM eCourts Platform is taken to have agreed that, if the Court so requires, they will file the original document in accordance with the Court's directions.
(b) if the proceedings in which the document was filed is appealed, 2 years after the date that appeal is determined by judgment, order or discontinuance.
1.20 Subject to paragraphs 1.8 and 1.21, a document is taken to have been filed when the ADGM eCourts Platform attaches a coversheet to the document and places it on the court file for the case. For the avoidance of doubt, the coversheet is taken to be part of the document.
1.21 Despite a document being accepted by the Court by the attachment of a coversheet and its placement on the court file, the document may subsequently be rejected by the Court if the document fails to comply with any requirements of the prescribed form or the rules in relation to such a document, or by direction or order of the Court.
1.22 Rule 15 provides that all documents, other than one which initiates proceedings, must be served by email or other means of electronic communication in accordance with the relevant practice direction.
1.23 Part 4 (along with Practice Direction 2 (Making and Answering a Claim) and Practice Direction 3 (Small Claims)) provide for how and where to serve a claim form.
1.24 Service of all documents, except one which commences a Claim, will be effected on all parties who have appeared in the case by the Court's acceptance of the document and its placement on the Court file via the ADGM eCourts Platform. No other means of service is necessary by the parties, except as may be ordered otherwise by the Court. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no requirement to separately serve a document under Rule 22(4) if this paragraph applies.
1.25 Practice Direction 4 — Particular Claims other than Small Claims, includes provisions that require some documents to be served personally.
1.26 Except where a rule, practice direction, any other ADGM enactment or a court order requires or permits some other method of service, any document may be served by any of the methods provided by Rule 15.
1.27 A party may prove service of a document by filing a certificate of service in accordance with Form CFI 31.
1.28 In the Rules, and in practice directions, "lawyer" has the meaning given to it in the Regulations.
1.29 Section 219 of the Regulations provides for when a lawyer has the right of audience in the Court and when a lawyer has the right to conduct litigation in the Court.
(c) if the order is made, must comply with Rule 192(2). | {

We are Call 4 Help the only Property Management Service in the UK with a dedicated 24hour plumbing, heating and electrical helpline, staffed only by qualified tradesman. There is no middle man, receptionist or call queue, so when our customers call, it will be answered by an engineer so they have help immediately.
Being a Plumber, Heating Engineer or Electrician for several Letting Agents in the winter is a very busy time and there's never a minute to spare.
So when possible, fixing or temporarily reinstating tenants facilities over the phone is an everyday occurrence, this is where Call 4 Help was born.
Sometimes it's hard to reach your Plumber or Electrician, maybe they just can't answer their phone as they are too busy, or maybe they don't work 24hrs a day. But within that delay could spell disaster for your property or the tenant calling an expensive Emergency Plumber or Electrician themselves.
We as engineers know that not every boiler breakdown or electrical problem requires an emergency callout, sometimes all that's needed is just some expert advice and direction to get things going.
Insurance companies and energy giants offer 24hr helplines, but these will only patch you through to a call handling centre, then after a lengthy security check, a few hours or days down the line they might send some help, but again this doesn't help you.
We also know that when there is a plumbing emergency time is of the essence and usually by the time a plumber is contacted or attends the emergency it's already too advanced and the damage is done.
That's where Call 4 Help comes into effect and is invaluable to all parties.
Tenants have peace of mind that they have a professional service at the end of the line 24hrs a day.
Landlords can be assured that we will try our hardest to reinstate any plumbing, heating or electrical issues and avert the need of a costly callout fee. We will also guide our callers through any emergency they encounter and reduce any potential damage to their property, keeping repair bills down and lowering insurance claims.
Letting Agencies will also benefit greatly from this service. Call4Help offer letting agencies a large discount to encourage landlords to register via them. We will be the tenants first point of contact should they have a problem. Apart from offering a quality service to their landlords and tenants this will also reduce the amount of phone calls to their staff's desk, this alone will create better productivity for your company. All follow up work that is required will passed back to the agency with a report for them to instruct their regular maintenance companies.
The cost of callout fees is spiralling out of control, some larger firms are charging in excess of £200 Just to knock on the front door, this is a very large bill just to pressurise a boiler etc. There are many self help procedures that we at Call 4 Help can guide tenants through when they have an emergency. Step by step we can guide people through basic problems and avert the need of a costly callout.
We pride ourselves on using our extensive knowledge and experience to overcome and solve as many issues as possible over the phone and save you money time and time again. Our services come at a mere fraction of any callout charge.
Don't leave things up to chance, put your property in safe experienced hands. We also offer a Full Maintenance Management package to take the problems off your hands completely. Please visit our website for more information on our services and how you can join us.

One more day for Kansas State, and stuff is getting weird
Last night, volleyball fell in five to Arkansas, and then a bombshell shook the Wildcat fansphere.
By Jon Morse@jonfmorse Sep 1, 2017, 9:18am CDT
Share All sharing options for: One more day for Kansas State, and stuff is getting weird
Macy Flowers goes for the kill shot.
Adam Stewart/Special to Bring on the Cats
Strangely for the Friday preceding a season opener, there's not a ton of football news to share with you this fine morning. However, one wild thing did happen last night that we'll address before getting to what news there is.
At midnight last night, our friends over at GoPowercat.com suddenly switched teams, in a business sense. Tim Fitzgerald, D. Scott Fritchen, Riley Gates, and the rest of the gang all packed up and moved from Rivals to the CBS-owned 247 network. Obviously, there was a good business reason for their decision, in addition to other factors, and we wish Tim and his crew all the best as they move into a new house.
We usually abstain from comment on our business rivals, and we know from experience that many of our readers have axes to grind with our competitor sites, but we're going to diverge from that policy a moment... both for personal reasons and in order to serve our readers. In service to that latter cause, we want to alert everyone to some important details.
First, the GoPowercat.com domain still appears, at least for some folks including your benevolent despot, to point to the Rivals site -- now known as KStateOnline and being managed by Jeffrey Martin, the guy who preceded Kellis Robinett as the Wildcat beat writer for the Star and Eagle (who we also wish the best as he embarks on a new journey). This should surely be sorted out soon, but for now it's an element of confusion that we're hoping to help address.
Second, those of you who are GPC subscribers need to be aware that your subscriptions are still Yahoo!/Rivals subscriptions, and therefore subscriptions to KStateOnline. If you intend to follow the GPC crew to their new digs, you'll have to subscribe at 247.
As to the personal reasons, we'd like to make it abundantly clear that in reality these are not so much "rivals" as alternate outlets. This is the internet, and there's really nothing stopping you, the K-State fan, from reading everything we post, everything they post, everything anyone posts. We're not telling you to read their site; we're also not remotely in the business of suggesting you shouldn't. As a free site, we're certainly not competing with them for your dollar; as pay sites, we have always done our best to respect their paid content. TB and Tim are friends; I have a good relationship with Tim. There's never been any intentional conflict between our ventures.
Having said all that: man, that's some weird timing, yeah? The night before opening day? We're still trying to wrap our heads around that one, because it's going to confuse a lot of folks. Between this and K-State's own web redesign — which also hit today -- coming just a day before football season kicks off, things are in chaos in the Wildcat Webosphere. We hope this helps alleviate some of it.
And now, onto #content.
Yesterday, BracketCat very nearly completed the arduous annual task of completing the roster countdown. He caught up on the other missed number seven from last week, wide receiver Isaiah Zuber, and checked in with the other number two, all-conference defensive back D.J. Reed. Since there are no number ones on the roster, Bracket would have been finished... but today, look for the sixes: defensive back Johnathan Durham and wideout D.J. Render.
We also provided you with a couple of position previews. JT covered the fullbacks while KSUEMAW parsed through the very unconfusing situation at quarterback.
And finally, a very special edition of Bring on the Podcats features former Wildcat great Nick Leckey and Ringer writer Robert Mays. As you might expect, there's a lot of discussion about this year's offensive line, as well as a discussion about how and why Cody Whitehair and B.J. Finney have found success playing out of position in the NFL. It's good stuff. Go listen.
Later today, expect TB to kick the tires on Central Arkansas at the 10:00 hour, JT to discuss the changes to the Wildcat coaching staff later on, and AMS will hopefully have some commentary on his experiences at this week's soccer game with Omaha and last night's volleyball match with Arkansas.
Ken Corbitt at the Capital-Journal profiles TB's favorite Wildcat and new starting center Adam Holtorf.
At the Star and Eagle, Kellis Robinett reports on the offense's expectations of being among the nation's most potent. He also provides his quick-and-dirty game preview and keys to victory.
The 2017-18 Big 12 conference schedules have been released for both men's basketball and women's basketball. The former features Big Monday against the Jayhawks on January 29, as well as K-State's first-ever game on New Year's Day as they host West Virginia. That will be the second conference game of the season, as once again K-State will begin Big 12 play earlier than ever before with a December 29 trip to Iowa State.
The women will start conference play even earlier, with a huge task: a home game against Baylor on December 28.
The Volleycats put forth a great effort last night at Ahearn, but Pilar Victoria was too much to handle as the Wildcats (2-2) fell in five sets to Arkansas, 25-21, 14-25, 23-25, 25-15, 9-15. Victoria, who missed last year due to injury and led the NCAA in kills per match already coming into last night, posted an absurd 34 kills — one shy of her career high -- to go along with 14 digs to lead the Hogs (4-0) to victory.
For the Cats, Bryna Vogel had 11 kills and 14 digs for her first double-double of the season and 23rd of her career, while Arizona transfer Sarah Dixon dug out 10 balls and had 31 assists. Kylee Zumach led the Wildcats with 12 kills, and Alyssa Schultejans added 10.
The K-State Invitational continues today as Syracuse takes on Wisconsin at 10:00 am, followed by Arkansas and Wisconsin at 5:30. The Wildcats close out the evening with a match against Syracuse at 7:30. Saturday, Syracuse and Arkansas meet at 11:00, with K-State facing Wisconsin at 1:30. All matches will air on ESPN3. We understand you might be otherwise distracted on Saturday, but do try to tune in tonight. Remember, volleyball is fun!
The season begins for the Cat Harriers on Saturday as they compete in Wichita State's JK Gold Invite.

This section covers:
How to find images and video from a specific location:
Direct from Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites
Using free and paid tools
The ethics and crediting of eyewitness media
N.B. This symbol ✳️ means the tool is free!
Ethics and crediting
I'm putting this first because it's important and I don't want it to be buried as an afterthought…
Eyewitness footage by people shot at the scene of a news event — sometimes referred to by the clunky expression, "User Generated Content" (UGC) — is increasingly becoming part of news coverage.
So it's fundamentally important for journalists and news organizations to work through the issues to do with crediting and ethics that are thrown up.
A few basics:
From a copyright point of view, the legal owner of any photo or video uploaded to any social media site is not the social media site, but the uploader — provided they were the person who took it.
The EyeWitness Media Hub is a non-profit organization set up to advise on best practice in this area. They also publish First Draft News, which is a publication on Medium with regular tips and updates.
Here's how they set out the basics of "the etiquette of consent":
Enquire about their safety
Ask if they shot the footage themselves
Ask for permission to use the picture
Say how and where the image will be used
Ask if they would like to be credited
Ask how they would like to be credited
Source: The Eyewitness Media Hub
It's best to take the conversation into a private space as soon as possible, and to ask them for extra context around the image.
Remember someone can only give you permission to use an image or video, if they are the person who took it, so it's essential to establish this at the outset. Ask them directly. And if you are in any doubt at all, check if the image has been used before (see the verification section for how to do this).
Bear in mind too that they may be in the process of licensing the footage via an agency, like Storyful, Newsflare or Demotix.
As part of a recent study, the Eyewitness Media Hub spoke to a number of people whose material had been used by news organizations about how they felt about this. It turns out that, for some, the experience was pretty bruising.
The examples from the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris provide particular food for thought.

So how do you go about finding images and video from a specific location? Here's a few ways to do it direct, and then some useful tools.
✳️ Twitter
N.B. It's important to be aware that Twitter results only are only pulled up within the following searches if someone has enabled the "location" setting on their account, or for that particular tweet (which is only a very small fraction of tweets) or if the location is included in their Twitter bio.
This is the formulation to type into the search bar:
near:ADD CITY within:ADD SEARCH RADIUS as km or mi
near:Treviso within:10km
near:Treviso within:6mi
You need to type it exactly like this, with no spaces before or after the colon and the km or mi attached to the number.
You can widen the radius — if you want to search an entire country, for example:
near:Madrid within:350km would very roughly take in all of Spain
2. By zipcode
This only works in the US, as far as I know. It's the same formula. For example:
near:94306 within:1km
3. By longitude and latitude
Find the longitude and latitude of the place you want to search. Do this on google maps, by inputing the address, then right clicking by the arrow, and selecting "what's here?".
Remove any spaces from the long/lat coordinates, and type the same format into the Twitter search bar:
near:51.747249,-1.239592 within:1km
It can also be written as:
geocode:51.747249,-1.239592,1km
If it doesn't work, chances are a stray space has crept in somewhere! It needs to be written exactly as above with no spaces.
You can combine keywords and/or hashtags and other search options with this. And you can opt to just see photos or video, by selecting these tabs across the top after you've done the search.
There are lots of examples of location searches on the Thought Faucet blog.
If you know that something has happened in a specific area and you want to find non-geolocated tweets, you need to put yourself in the shoes of that person living that event.
A few things to bear in mind:
People use very localized terms. They are much more likely to use the name of the street/landmark they are at, then the name of the town or city.
People tend to swear a lot when they witness dramatic scenes (so search for words like "fuck", "shit" etc)
"Me" and "my" are two good words to add to a search if you want to find people directly affected by a situation, as this article by NYT's Daniel Victor shows
There's more on Twitter in the search section of this guide.
As a company Twitter are well aware that — while the platform is a great resource for news — it's not always easy to navigate.
That's part of the reason they created Project Lightning, which resulted in the launch of Moments in October 2015. Moments collates a selection of tweets from a place or event together, and appears when you hit the lightening bolt icon at the bottom of the Twitter app, or at the top when on desktop.
✳️ Facebook Signal
Facebook Signal launched in September 2015 and covers Instagram too (it's owned by Facebook). It's free and just for journalists — though you do need to sign up first, and it can take a few weeks to get access.
It's most useful for finding trending stories (and is covered in detail in the trending section of this guide), but also includes the option to search Instagram by location.
Instagram really comes into its own for journalists when you're looking for images or video from a specific location. The percentage of posts that are geotagged on Instagram is far, far higher than on Twitter — plus it's a platform all about images and video.
To search Instagram by location, hit Instagram Search, select the place you want to search, and the radius. You can combine this with a hashtag search.
In a welcome update, Instagram recently added a basic location-based search on their app as part of a relaunch of its explore button.
Hit the magnifying glass at the bottom of the app, in the search bar type the name of the place, and then hit the places tab across the top.
That then shows you the latest posts from that location.
More tools for Instagram
You can also search Instagram using a couple of great third-party tools.
✳️ Worldcam
Type the city in the box on the right-hand side of Worldcam and then select the place you want to search.
It doesn't work for all addresses — only for venues and specific buildings like libraries, schools, universities etc
Gramfeed/Picodash
Until June 2016, Gramfeed was a free service for searching and locating images on Instagram by location, keyword, hashtag etc. But with recent changes to Instagram's API, it changed name to Picodash, and became a paid-for service. It costs $8 a month for journalists, and you can take up a free 3-day trial.
✳️ YouTube
YouTube built an in-house tool which allows you search a specific area and specific date range and add keywords.
It's really simple to use, though is less useful than you might imagine, as so few videos are given a location tag at the time of upload — but it is still worth a try.
When you do a search direct on YouTube, you can also filter it by date of upload.
YouTube have teamed up with Storyful to create YouTube Newswire to source and verify eyewitness video.
✳️ Periscope
The live-streaming video service, in June 2015 added a new feature — which is effectively a location search. Just hit on the globe, and zoom right into your chosen area.
✳️ Snapchat
Snapchat is starting to do some really interesting experiments in news based on location — for example around the Haj pilgrimage and the attacks in San Bernardino in California. Expect more from them in this area in the coming months. Such is the popularity of Snapchat in the Middle East that third-party archiving apps have sprung up there.
Here are some great third-party tools for finding social media from a specific location
If I had to pick one social media company to watch, it would be Banjo.
The company has been around for a while, but over the past couple of years has been quietly going leaps and bounds in mapping the world via social media.
Its paid-for Enterprise version is an incredibly powerful tool for finding geolocated social media from a specific location extremely quickly and in real-time.
And in September 2015, they launched Banjo for Media — a ✳️ free version for journalists, which includes a surprisingly high number of features from the Enterprise version.
Like other location-based tools, you zoom into a map and select the area you want, and pull in the geo-tagged posts from that area.
Wildfires in California in June 2015
You can draw a very specific area to search, and further refine by keyword, or search for just images and video.
Their work goes well beyond geolocation, and includes image recognition technology and the mapping of the baseline of what normal looks like on social media — so that any unusual activity can be spotted and investigated instantly (this article in Inc. spells it out quite clearly).
Based on this, the team provide ready-collated social media from news events.
A list of news 'events' flagged up on the free version of Banjo on 28 January 2016
They also provide a summary of trending topics — within Banjo and on Facebook:
Banjo shows what's rending on Facebook in the US on 28 January 2016
On the paid-for Enterprise version, it's also possible to go in time to a specific moment within the last seven days, or further back on demand — their archive extends back as far as 2009.
It's got a great user friendly design, which integrates nicely with TV, the web and touch screen displays.
Unlike say Storyful, there is no verification done in-house, and — because their main news customers are big US companies — the alerts skew heavily towards the US, but that may change as it expands.
Geofeedia is a powerful paid-for tool, which lets you select the area you want to pull social media data from, by drawing a simple circle, or "polygon" around it.
It pulls in geotagged data from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and the Chinese social network, Sina Weibo.
A quick search round Times Square, New York
Geofeedia have recently upgraded the look and feel of the account and added some extra features, including an analytics section.
There is also now a free app which allows you to do a basic search within a 1, 2.5 or 5km radius
Ground Signal
Ground Signal used to have a great free plan, but unfortunately has moved to a paid plan only (around $3,000 a month).
It pulls in data from Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Flickr and more.

Daily Divine: What have you learned this year?
It is always interesting to look back at what you've learned in a time period.
The year... it's 365 rotations of sunrise to sunset.
And we are most defintely not the people we were, when we started on this journey back at the beginning of 2016.
1. What is the one thing you spend the most time doing? The second most?
3. What made you happiest and gave you the most joy?
4. What did not work at all? Do you know why or not?
5. What life goals did you accomplish? Was it a "buidling" year or a "resting" year?
6. What was left undone, or what do you still need to work on?
7. What soul lessons did you learn? Name as many as you can think of.
We move into 2017 with hope, trepidation, uncertainty.
It's going to be a year of more big change. It's okay. The Uinverse is in charge. We are eternal souls on an infinite journey. No need to worry.

#EuropeTogether - LuxLeaks whistle-blower Antoine Deltour awarded Silver Rose for contribution to social justice
Press Release on the S&D Website
Brussels, 23 January 2018
Antoine Deltour, the whistle-blower behind the LuxLeaks that exposed shady tax deals that allowed multinational companies to pay miniscule amounts of tax was today awarded the Special Jury Prize at the annual SOLIDAR Silver Rose Awards. The awards, held in the European Parliament, recognise organisations and individuals fighting for social justice in Europe and around the world.
The awards are organised in cooperation with the S&D Group by SOLIDAR, the EU network of civil society organisations to advance social justice, as part of the Europe Together initiative. #EuropeTogether is a way of bringing together citizens, politicians and civil society to develop a new vision for Europe. Starting in 2016, Europe Together events have been held across Europe on a range of topics from digitisation of society to a new social agenda for the EU.
Alongside Antoine Deltour, former MEP and Vice-President of the European Parliament Miguel Angel Martinez Martinez was given a life-time achievement award for his work to promote social justice in Spain and around the world. Other winners included L'Ecole Laïque du chemin des dunes Calais, the Soledad Cazorla Prieto Fund, the National Union of Workers Producers Co-operatives (NUWPC), and the international solidarity prize went to Trade Union Sintraimaigra, Colombia.
S&D Group Vice-President Jeppe Kofod said:
"Tonight's awards are a celebration of people fighting for social justice across Europe. It is only through the engagement of citizens and organisations like these that we can bring real progressive change to the EU and around the world. From Europeans like Miguel Angel Martinez Martinez who stood up to fascism and dedicated his life to progressive politics to Antoine Deltour who helped shine a light on the scourge of tax evasion, all tonight's winner are fighting to make the world a fairer place."
Conny Reuter, SOLIDAR Secretary General added:
"At a time when the left and progressives have a tendency to divide rather than unite, the TOGETHER initiative, bringing together progressives from political parties, unions and civil society, is more needed than ever. The SOLIDAR Silver Rose awards remind us that progress is only possible through engagement based on our progressive values. Tonight's winners stand for civil courage and are examples and inspiration for all of us together!"

Worried about falling? Here are 5 tips to avoid dangerous tumbles, other injuries.
By Janet Lee
A woman practices tai chi. Besides building strength, the exercise helps with your dynamic balance — staying upright while moving. (iStock)
Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with any advertisers on this site.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among the elderly in the United States, leading to the deaths of at least 30,000 of them each year.
Weakness can increase fall risk, and many older adults may have lost muscle strength during the pandemic: some because of time spent in bed while sick with covid-19 and others because their activity level dropped while staying at home to avoid exposure to the coronavirus.
"People are coming back to clinics with huge deficits due to the stay-at-home orders, larger than we would expect due to aging alone," says Jennifer Stevens-Lapsley, professor of physical therapy and director of the Rehabilitation Science PhD Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Numerous other factors may also contribute to falls, including diminishing senses, certain medications and even inadequate hydration, which can trigger dizzying dips in blood pressure. "In my experience, many people who faint and fall are dehydrated," says Barbara White, executive director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at California State University at Long Beach.
Being afraid of falling — especially if you have previously tumbled — can hike your fall risk, prompting you to change your gait in ways that worsen balance. Plus, "the fear of falling decreases your willingness to move and be active and independent," Stevens-Lapsley says. The following steps can help you be more balanced.
Attend to your environment
Throw rugs, poor lighting and small animals who like to be underfoot can all increase the risk of falls at home. Reducing and managing such risks is a must. (A pet may need retraining to respond better to voice commands.) In addition, wear well-fitting, low-heeled, supportive shoes with nonslip soles, indoors as well as outside. One study, published in 2010 in the journal Footwear Science, found that wearing slippers or being shoeless more than doubled the risk of being seriously injured in a fall. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's STEADI initiative has more on DIY fall-proofing.)
Work on your strength
"The leg and hip (gluteal) muscles are some of the more important muscles to strengthen, as well as the calves," Stevens-Lapsley says. "Those are the muscles that will help you catch yourself if you start to fall."
If you need help, you might want to enroll in a strength program for older adults. (SilverSneakers, for instance, has online and in-person classes.) Or work with a physical therapist or trainer with experience with older adults.
For those who are at high risk of falls, a fall-prevention program may be useful. (The National Council on Aging has a list of programs.) At the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus' Multidisciplinary Center on Aging's fall-prevention clinic, benefits include exercise recommendations, a medication review (see "Watch your meds," below) and advice on modifications to make to increase home safety.
Better your balance
When it comes to strength and balance, consider the mind-body exercises of tai chi. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 studies, published in 2017 in the British Medical Journal, found that tai chi significantly reduced fall risks in older adults. Besides building strength, tai chi helps with dynamic balance — your ability to stay upright while you're moving. "With tai chi, you're not just standing statically, you're moving your legs through space and bending and twisting and turning," Stevens-Lapsley says.
You can also improve dynamic balance with non-tai-chi moves, such as walking in a serpentine or grapevine (crossing one leg in front of the other) pattern, changing directions suddenly (turning around or to the right or left) and walking backward, Stevens-Lapsley says.
Watch your meds
More than half of seniors take four or more prescription medications, according to a 2019 Kaiser Family Foundation poll. This can increase the risk of drug interactions and side effects such as dizziness, foggy thinking and low blood pressure. A study published in 2020 in the journal BMC Public Health found that people who took more than four prescription drugs accounted for roughly 23 percent of falls that led to hospitalization. So ask your doctor whether you need to be on all the medicines you use.
For instance, some high blood pressure medications (often diuretics) and over-the-counter antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine, a.k.a. Benadryl) can cause symptoms that alter balance. The use of antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines for anxiety, and sedatives should also be limited to reduce fall risk, according to guidance from the American Academy of Family Physicians. (Benzodiazepines for anxiety include Ativan, Valium and Xanax.)
Check your eyes and ears
With vision, "we experience changes in depth perception and color discrimination with age, and those affect what we see and don't see in our environment," White says.
Poor hearing may also pose a problem. A study published in 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that middle-aged people with only mild hearing loss had a threefold higher risk of falling. So keep up with the vision and hearing screenings that your doctor recommends, and wear glasses and hearing aids as prescribed.
What to do if you fall
If you fall, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) recommends that you take several deep breaths and remain still for a few moments. Once you're over the initial shock of falling, take inventory: Do you feel pain? Did you hit your head?
If you're not in pain and don't think you've hit your head, roll over onto your side and rest a bit — this lets your body and blood pressure adjust, according to the NIA. Then slowly get up on your hands and knees, and crawl to a stable chair, table or counter. You may need to hold on to one of these objects to pull yourself up, White says. Sit, and once you feel calm, call your doctor. They may want you to come in for an evaluation.
If you're in pain, have hit your head, or feel dizzy, nauseous or otherwise sick, don't move — getting up too fast or in the wrong manner could worsen any injury. Call for help if you can. If you're alone and can't alert anyone or contact 911, you may have to crawl to a phone or door to summon assistance.

With the changing of the seasons comes a change in the anime guard. Out with the old shows, in with the new ones and with them comes a new crop of openings and endings. Unfortunately this time around the resulting harvest is rather small, but only in quantity, not quality. For you see, one of the key pillars of my seasonal opening and ending favorites article is they have to actually be attached to a show I am watching. And since I am not watching many of the shows that have from what I have heard to be good openings and endings, such as Lupin III (because it isn't legally available anywhere I know) or The Asterisk War (because I am just thoroughly through with magical high school shows), I am left with a rather small number of openings and endings from this season I actually truly like, at least enough to put on a top favorites list.
As a result I don't have enough to field a full Top 10 list, especially since I am sticking to the one entry per show direction I started on in the Summer (I basically don't want to regress to what I did in the Spring just one season after implimenting a decision to prevent such a repeat), so you'll have to make due with with a Top 5 list (plus honorable mentions). For several weeks I was contemplating whether I would even do top favorites OP/ED article for this season, given the small number, and just roll them into my end of the year overall favorites openings and endings article and just get that one out a few weeks earlier, but in the end I decided to complete the seasonal coverage for the year.
This is simply just a beautiful opening that highlights the beauty that Beautiful Bones is capable of. I also love the use of surrealism, showing some scenes from different angles to make us wonder what is really going on.
I like the alternate take this ending gives to Seraph's main characters, showing them in normal situations, which is nice to see considering their lives are anything but "normal". I also really like the part of the song that is being sung in a language that's not Japanese. I'm not entirely sure what it is, I think it might be Greek, but whatever it is it is great. Damn shame Seraph's second opening is rather lame though. How the hell does one make a fripSide song that just feels devoid of energy?
I know, it's GARO so that would mean JAM Project would be the obvious choice for its representative, except not this time. While GARO: Crimson Moon's OP is still pretty good, the odd thing is it would have been perfect for the first GARO anime, as it has a clear Spanish influence in its music. The song may be good, but it ultimately ends up clashing with the show it is attached to, as GARO: Crimson Moon is based on the Heian period of Japan, so Spanish guitars have no place here. It helps that Crimson Moon's ending a pretty damn good, too. I also love how the ending focuses on Inari, the trio of doll-like women wearing fox-themed attire that serve as Crimson Moon's Watchdog. Seeing them in motion is beautiful, and it is a treat just to see them move at all, as they've been perfectly stationary in the show itself so far.
I bet you thought we were going to raise our flags with MAN WITH A MISSION when you saw Iron-Blooded Orphans as part of the header image. Well tough luck! We're gonna sing about orphan tears (wait, what?)! Seriously though, I love the OP for this show, I really do. But I love the James Bond-style ending a hell of a lot more. I love how many of the episodes end with the music building into the ending (something I also loved when they did that in Silver Spoon Season 2), and then suddenly "Orrrrr-phans!". Just glorious.
I didn't like this OP at first. I really just did not. It felt odd, disjointed, and overall just lacking, especially when compared to the great opening from the first season. Now, I still think it is weaker than the first opening, but I definitely have come around on this one the more I saw it. I love that it still has the gorgeous visual style from the first opening. How often do we see stylistic synergy between multiple OPs and EDs for a show? And it is still a style that I maintain that I want to see an entire show use, because it is just beautiful.
Part of the reason I was a little less forgiving for GARO: Crimson Moon's opening is because JAM Project just so happened to do another, far greater opening this season. Now I love the quirky music of One Punch Man's ending, and could write a decent length on its visuals, but while I do love the ending, nothing is topping the opening for me. It is so epic and full of energy that I just can't help but get caught up in it. This is easily my favorite opening or ending of the season and one of my favorites of the entire year.
This was the very first opening or ending of this season I saw. I actually saw it before I started watching the show because it was released on places like YouTube before the show started airing. If you know anything about my tastes in OPs and EDs, you know I love when something has some stylistic flair to it, and The Perfect Insider's opening has that. I don't really think I've seen anything like it, when it comes to anime at least. And it doesn't hurt that the song is pretty damn good too. If it wasn't for the epic hype train that is One Punch Man's opening, this would be my favorite of the season. | {

Q: Swift 4 What is the best way to store an array of custom types persistently? I have an array which contains objects that each have custom and non-primitive type properties like URL and StorageReference (Firebase). What is the best way to store the contents of this array persistently? I thought of using Realm, but Realm only stores objects that have primitive type properties. The amount of objects retrieved from persistent storage will continue to increase as the app is used more because there will be more and more items to retrieve from Firebase.
A:
Realm supports the following property types: Bool , Int , Int8 , Int16
, Int32 , Int64 , Double , Float , String , Date , and Data.
So, ideally you should be able to cover any custom types by converting them to a suitable primitive type.
For instance, you can save your URL as a String while saving to Realm and convert back when retrieved.
A: If you don't want to include third party frameworks you can use the Codable protocol and save things with NSKeyedArchiver. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nskeyedarchiver
Simple example:
struct A: Codable {
var myString: String? // primitive types are already codable
}
struct B: Codable {
var myInt: Int?
var a: A? // custom types need to be Codable
}
// save
let myObject = B()
NSKeyedArchiver.archiveRootObject(myObject, toFile: "/path/to/archive")
// load
let myObject = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithFile("/path/to/archive") as? B
If your custom type is more complex you might want to implement the custom encode/decode methods to have more control over how you data is saved and loaded. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/archives_and_serialization/encoding_and_decoding_custom_types

Q: Is there a proxy testing application on OSX? I remember I have used a Windows proxy testing software a long time ago. The software allows me to input say 100 proxy at a time, and I could set a destination url (for example, Google.com or Facebook.com/messages/) and then test how many proxies in the list can visit the destination url (and at what speed). I am wondering if there is a similar application on OSX can do the similar thing. Thanks!
A: And it runs on linux, windows, android, or even iOS. It's a npm tool called proxy-checker (https://www.npmjs.com/package/proxy-checker). Enjoy.

The Rhapsody from Opolo was a closeout special that had me worried. I had two previous bottles from Opolo – one a winner and the other a worn out loser.
This wine is a Meritage-style blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It also comes from a fantastic wine region: Paso Robles.
I didn't have a lot at stake. I paid $9.99 for it, but it had been selling for close to $40. Seemed like it was worth a gamble.
Well, the gamble paid off. This was a rich, rewarding wine with caramel notes. It's soft in texture with a tad of sweetness. It's not a very complex wine, but it sure was enjoyable.
Our bottle was lively and showed no signs of aging out. But this Rhapsody is on the last page of its sheet music and if you have a bottle, you should drink it soon.
Opolo offers a 2010 Rhapsody Reserve for $47. That should be worth checking out – or you could keep your eyes peeled for an older vintage at a lesser price.
I have had each of the Opolo offerings over the last couple of years and have been very impressed with the complexity of these wines. | {

The State of Texas: Feb. 23, 2014

Happy Hour Monday
Soon, the answer to "Who Shot J.R.?" will be "anyone who bought a bottle." In March, lovers of the Dallas TV show will be able to purchase J.R. Ewing Bourbon. Unlikely the character, whose personality traits would probably best be bottled as a life-destroying, rot-gut sour mash, this bourbon is "well-balanced and slightly fruity, with a lightly spicy/honey flavor."
It's a story as old as America's greatest past-time: Boy spends his time fielding baseballs from Texas Rangers's spring training:
Got Shorty — Over the weekend, Mexican officials finally captured the notorious drug emperor Joaquin "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman in the resort town of Mazatlan. Head of the Sinaloa cartel, "Guzman has been on the run for years and his capture puts an end to one of the longest and most profitable careers in the drug world," reports NPR. While the capture is great news for the law and order crowd, it does raise concerns of new crime waves along the border, as friends and rivals vie for control of the drug trade. The general consensus among numerous experts interviewed by the Texas Tribune is: who knows what's gonna happen next? "Only time will tell if Guzmán's arrest means that the rival Juárez cartel will try to retake the Ciudad Juárez turf it lost in 2008," and the "capture, though significant, should not dramatically alter life in Juárez." As with upheaval in the corporate world, there's gonna be a bit of reacomodo (reorganization), but experts are hoping there won't be too much "unrest on Texas' southern border." Just, you know, the same unrest that's been happening since since the start of the War on Drugs.
Jaywalking It Back — It's been a rough week for Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo. First, video of the Thursday arrest of a UT student who failed to identify herself to police after jaywalking went viral. The student was arrested, but there's a lot of he-said-she-said regarding how the detention went down. As Acevedo learned, however, it's not a great idea to invoke that kind of language. "In other cities there's cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty, so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin," said Acevedo during a press conference on Saturday, in which he defended his officers's actions. According to UT's student newspaper, the Daily Texan, Acevedo backpeddled less than 24 hours later, saying his word choice was probably not great and "his comments were the result of a strenuous week for the department."
Guv'nor Bummer — Hopes that Governor Rick Perry was leading Texas into a future free of any criminal charges against harmless potheads went up in smoke yesterday. It was just last month when Rick Perry publicly, and pretty unequivocally, voiced his aversion to draconian drug policies and toward decriminalizing the drug. On CNN's State of the Union show, the once-and-possibly-future presidential candidate repeated that decriminalization line, but "was the first [of four featured governors] to jump in with a flat 'no'," when asked about legalizing recreational use. It's commendable that Perry sees the cruel ridiculousness in sending a kid with "one marijuana cigarette" to prison, but the governor's whiplash positioning highlights a particularly awkward fence-straddling that limelight politicians will have to make regarding the hazy area of our budding marijuana nation.
Johnny Combine — After partying and self-promoting, Johnny Manziel's doing what he does third-best: performing like a champ. The NFL hopeful performed well at the league Combine in Indianapolis, especially after some hand-wringing about Manziel's short-for-the-pros height. Because it's every Texans's duty to know every minute detail of Manziel's life, the Dallas Morning News has a breakdown of Mr. Football's performance. "He was the fourth fastest quarterback … ranked fifth among quarterbacks in the vertical jump … tied for fourth in the broad jump … and was second in the three-cone drill," according to the report. Oh, and Manziel earned the top time among quarterbacks for the twenty-yard shuttle. Perhaps Manziel's most impressive drill was the media one. His press conference on Friday was packed with journo jocks, according to USA Today, and the once-wild-child made a concerted effort to begin a new, mature phase in life. The main takeaway from all this being that you should hold onto that Manziel merchandise, 'cause the price is about to rocket up about as fast as Johhny Football's career.

Boys volleyball: No longer undefeated
Update: Shen is defensive as Libero. Rao played in the second set. Clapping sequences followed blocks, not kills. The team has five sophomores.
A series of "ooh-ooh ah-ah's" followed by a clapping sequence came from the Homestead High School crowd.
It was nearly the end of the last set against HHS with the score at 16-18 and the Mustangs in the lead. With only the final points left to win the match, an HHS player scored three points off of blocks, erupting the crowd into its traditional cheer.
Just on the other side of the court was the seemingly dispirited MVHS team, some players sitting with their faces in their hands— others glaring at the freshly waxed gym floor.
After continuous deflects from HHS, MVHS fell behind, losing the final set 17-25. But this wasn't just any typical loss for the boys.

Homestead HS' boys volleyball team would've been undefeated — the key word here being would've— if it wasn't for their only loss to MVHS on March 24 as they lost the fifth set. The HHS team returned on April 26 to face the Matadors for the second time this season, hoping to tip the scale and give MVHS a defeat before they headed to leagues.
According to a Homestead HS JV player, the HHS team was rumored to be counting down the number of days and practices before their match against MVHS.
"We came in expecting to play hard," junior and libero Jason Shen said. "That's what we always do, but I think everyone was a little iffy about the energy of the gym because this is the game that clinches leagues."
Junior Shen watches as sophomore Gautham Dasari sets a low tip from Homestead HS.
The Matadors started off the first set relatively strong, staircasing the score with HHS. Shen and senior Yash Hegde executed remarkable kills off of HHS' tips.
Players like Shen, according to head coach Paul Chiu, continued to perform well despite the pressure of keeping an undefeated streak. MVHS didn't stay far behind until later in the set when HHS' front line grew aggressive with their kills, throwing off the Matador defense and getting six points ahead at 14-20.
After a timeout in which Chiu reproached his players, the Matadors pushed the offense to get up 20-22, but later failed to return HHS' cleaner kills. HHS went on to win the first set 21-25.
Off the court, senior Prathik Rao sat on the floor with his leg extended, ice heavily wrapped around his right ankle. Having recently recovered from his previous ankle injury in MVHS' first game against HHS, Rao repeated his injury on the other ankle in the past tournament and was in a questionable shape to play in the second round against HHS.
Chiu admitted that Rao was essential in defeating the Mustangs.
"We missed Tiki [Rao]," Chiu said. "He's an indispensable part of [the team]. There's definitely times where we get stuck in a couple rotations here and there, but he gets us out of it."
But even without Rao in an effective position, the boys stepped onto the court to begin the second set, some of them even smiling.
The MVHS boys volleyball team congregates after a successful second set against Homestead HS.
The Matadors started off the second set strong with timely blocks from sophomore Gautham Dasari. They continued to dive and execute, but HHS stayed close behind similar to the first set. The teams battled for each point, but MVHS pulled ahead, denying HHS any chance of winning the set with the score at 25-17.
The Matadors had more success scoring more points offensively, but HHS didn't let their guard down. The MVHS lineup consisted of predominantly sophomores. This is something the team had adapted to this season, with five sophomores on their roster, unlike most varsity teams.
Despite the younger players on the court, Shen admitted that he wanted to ensure that the sophomores were reminded of the level of play they were in.
"It's rough being a sophomore when you're going up against seniors and juniors," Shen said. "I just come from their perspective and focus on getting them ready for the next point because that's all that matters."
Just in the middle of the set, Chiu signaled for Rao to enter the game. He played for several points until his ankle gave out and he was under the care of athletic trainer Javier Margarito once again.
Senior Yash Hegde executes a kill in the fourth and final set.
It was clear MVHS was more distressed than HHS. During the last points of the set, Hedge and Shen could be seen standing at the bench, lacing their hands behind their necks. Shen was put in near the end but failed to execute his classic dives to save the Matadors. HHS eventually won the set 19-25.
The final set went no better for the Matadors.HHS pushed their offensive front line and continued to send the ball away from MVHS players. Despite deep kills from Dasari and Mathew, the MVHS team failed to come back and lost the final set to the Mustangs 17-25. Facing their closest competitors in the league, Chiu saw the loss as a takeaway as players experienced playing without Rao.
"It's a good wake up for the team," Chiu said. "Rather this than CCS. Tiki's not going to be here next year, so [they've] got to play differently. [They've] got to play better."
The Matadors will play Los Altos HS during their Senior Night on April 28. | {

Demetrious Johnson isn't your typical MMA fighter. Whereas countless others rely on raw power and towering stature, Johnson, AKA "The Mighty Mouse", stands at 5'3", combining nimble, light-footed movement with unparalleled agility. With only three losses in more than 30 professional bouts, Johnson is considered by many, including ESPN and MMA Weekly, to be one of the most talented mixed martial artists of all time.
Johnson's pathway to professional MMA has been atypical from the start, competing initially in track athletics and cross-country running throughout his teen years before representing his high school at State level. He soon found his true calling in wrestling, achieving two top three finishes at the State Championships before transferring to professional MMA by 2007. Ten victories later, Johnson has caught the attention of WEC and UFC, where he has subsequently enjoyed more than his share of career highlights and broken records.
Easily the network's fastest and most reactive fighter, Johnson holds the UFC record for the most consecutive title defenses, and is to date one of only two fighters to ever be awarded a bonus payment in all four categories, with four Performance of the Nights, three Fight of the Nights, one Knockout of the Night and one Submission of the Night under his belt. Despite his reputation for rapid striking, it is Johnson's submissions that are regarded as his strongest asset, earning him Submission of the Year from ESPN, Sherdog, MMA Mania.com and a host of other online publications in 2017.
A committed husband and father of three, Johnson gives no indication of easing the pressure on his competition, taking less than two full rounds to earn himself his 28th career victory in March 2019.

Super Power, Spoony Bards, and Silverware
From Platform Studies
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System
By Dominic Arsenault
How the Super Nintendo Entertainment System embodied Nintendo's resistance to innovation and took the company from industry leadership to the margins of videogaming.
Hardcover $29.95 T £25.00
ISBN: 9780262036566 240 pp. | 6 in x 9 in 21 b&w illus. September 2017
Arsenault smacks the rose-tinted glasses from our faces with a platform study that cuts true and deep. He lovingly and convincingly articulates why the SNES hosted some of the best-loved games of a generation despite Nintendo's stubborn failure to embrace the massive cultural and technological shifts of the day.
José P. Zagal
Associate Professor, University of Utah; author of Ludoliteracy
This is a book about the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that is not celebratory or self-congratulatory. Most other accounts declare the Super NES the undisputed victor of the "16-bit console wars" of 1989–1995. In this book, Dominic Arsenault reminds us that although the SNES was a strong platform filled with high-quality games, it was also the product of a short-sighted corporate vision focused on maintaining Nintendo's market share and business model. This led the firm to fall from a dominant position during its golden age (dubbed by Arsenault the "ReNESsance") with the NES to the margins of the industry with the Nintendo 64 and GameCube consoles. Arsenault argues that Nintendo's conservative business strategies and resistance to innovation during the SNES years explain its market defeat by Sony's PlayStation.
Extending the notion of "platform" to include the marketing forces that shape and constrain creative work, Arsenault draws not only on game studies and histories but on game magazines, boxes, manuals, and advertisements to identify the technological discourses and business models that formed Nintendo's Super Power. He also describes the cultural changes in video games during the 1990s that slowly eroded the love of gamer enthusiasts for the SNES as the Nintendo generation matured. Finally, he chronicles the many technological changes that occurred through the SNES's lifetime, including full-motion video, CD-ROM storage, and the shift to 3D graphics. Because of the SNES platform's architecture, Arsenault explains, Nintendo resisted these changes and continued to focus on traditional gameplay genres.

(April 6, 2017) San Diego, CA - The Fusenot Foundation, a California based 501(c)3 foundation was honored by the San Diego Center for Economics Education (SDCEE) with the naming of the organization's annual award to "Fusenot Foundation and SDCEE Economics History Day Awards". The dedication coincided with the 2017 National History Day Contest in San Diego.
As part of History Day, students compete by preparing detailed projects on the topic of economic impact. A portion of the Fusenot Foundation grant is earmarked to be distributed as cash awards to the top four students for their endeavors.
(January 21, 2017) San Diego, CA - The Georges and Germaine Fusenot Charity Foundation (The Fusenot Foundation) commemorates its 50th anniversary. The California 501(c)3 foundation was established in January 1967 by Germaine Fusenot with a mission to assist non-profits based in the Golden State.
For the 50th anniversary, the Foundation instituted a branding campaign with the goal to share information about the organization, its history and founder, as well as honor the numerous organizations that have benefitted from the funding grants over the years. An official logo was adopted and the foundation's first ever website has launched, FusenotFoundation.org.
The Fusenot Foundation's volunteer Board of Trustees include: Guy Stone, Chairman; Patricia Stone, Vice Chairman; Janet Kernan, Secretary; Alfred Borrelli, Treasurer; Scott Whitman, Attorney; Charles Gorder, Sr., Viveca S. Berry, Richard Stone and Norman Walker.
Germaine was born in Paris, France in 1886. As a child, she immigrated to the United States with her parents Auguste and Marie Durand Fusenot, settling in California. Germaine's father, founded the prestigious Ville de Paris department store in Los Angeles in 1893.
A cousin of the Fusenots, Georges Fusenot also immigrated from France to live in Los Angeles, assisting Auguste in managing the department store. In 1907, Germaine and Georges were married. Four months later, Auguste suddenly passed away leaving the Ville de Paris to Germaine and Georges. The store continued to be a successful enterprise and was purchased in 1915 by owners of the Emporium, a well-known department store in San Francisco.
Germaine and Georges were active philanthropist during World War I and II including donating an ambulance to the Republic of France. They also sponsored the French War Relief Chapter of the American Red Cross from 1939-1946, among many other charity endeavors.
Per the book, "History of The Georges and Germaine Fusenot Charity Foundation" published in 1981, "Germaine desired to leave something in the name of the Fusenots that would show their appreciation to the United States, commemorate Georges' existence and be of some benefit to their fellow man." | {

Stockman Trial Enters Third Week, With Dodd On The Stand And Posey In The Wings
Thomas Dodd and Jason Posey have both pleaded guilty to aiding former Congressman Steve Stockman, their ex-employer, in a million-dollar fraud and money laundering scheme.
| Posted on April 2, 2018, 9:00 AM
Steve and Patti Stockman emerging from Houston's federal courthouse, April 5, 2017
The trial of former Congressman Steve Stockman enters its third week today. Stockman is charged with diverting $1.2 million in charitable contributions to pay for political and personal expenses.
Week three begins with Thomas Dodd, one of the government's key witnesses, still on the stand. Dodd is a former Stockman staffer. He's pleaded guilty to aiding his ex-employer in committing fraud and lying to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The defense is now cross-examining Dodd.
The government has at least one other major witness left to call. Former Stockman aide Jason Posey will testify on his role in the alleged fraud. Like Dodd, Posey has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with the prosecution in the hope of a more lenient sentence. The defense's strategy hinges largely on trying to discredit Posey and Dodd with the jury.
The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case sometime this week. After that, the defense will begin calling its own witnesses. It's still not clear whether Stockman himself will testify.
Stockman represented Houston-area congressional districts from 1995 to 1997 and from 2013 to 2015. He faces 24 criminal counts, including multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements to the FEC, and tax evasion.

The background: as Pope Francis was inviting young people to meet with him in Rome for the pre-synod meetings on Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment, a book of an interview with him was published called "God is Young". In this book, Pope Francis encourages young people to engage and befriend older people – and vice versa. Bridging the cultural divide is a challenge which will benefit everybody: that the Church may be one, that the old will be renewed, and the young be accompanied.
The National Office for Vocation, Vocations Ireland and Vocation Scotland collaborated to organise this conference, aimed at providing older Religious with encouragement and training on how best to engage young people. Religious with a lifetime of experience have much to offer the young members of our Church, and those young members have made their voices heard through the pre-synod meetings, and through the synod of bishops. Young people want us to accompany them and guide them, especially on how to follow a spiritual path, and how to live the Christian life incarnated.
Pope Francis offers words of encouragement – that being old isn't a bad thing, it's a privilege. Pope Francis says that young people need older people, and older people should dialogue and encounter young people more… we need each other! The vocations offices aimed to help these two groups meet each other, and desires to encourage older religious to have confidence that they are needed in the work of the Church, building up young Catholics and supporting them as they make vocational choices. We need to share all we have learned and be examples of an incarnated Christianity in ordinary daily life.
The day began with prayer and music from the Vocations Ireland NET team and Sr Julie Buckley. Then we had input from Sr Margaret Taylor, herself an experienced Religious with much to offer. Sr Margaret spoke about the skill of inter-generational communication, and some of the dynamics of those communications. After some sharing in our small groups we broke into three groups, one (the more numerous) comprised those with more than 30 years profession, another with those of less than 30 years of profession and a further group of young people who came to present to us. We each took turns to look at each other and thank the other for their presence and all that they have given through their vocation.
Sr Julie Buckley from Vocations Ireland gave a presentation on youth culture, and we also heard a presentation from Sr Frances Kelly about what young people are looking for from us. These presentations were followed by personal testimonies from five young people from Canada, the USA and Ireland, leaving space for questions and answers.
It was a wonderful day of encounter and communion, and we are sure many people left with a new dedication to how they can still give all, keeping young people at heart. | {

Does Section 329 Grant Exclusive Jurisdiction to Bankruptcy Courts?
Samantha M. Tusa
Research Memorandum
(Excerpt)
Fee agreements between bankruptcy debtors and their counsel must often be settled in court. In which court those fee disputes can be heard is a question that is not yet settled. One court has looked to section 329 of the Bankruptcy Code for the answer. Section 329 states that if the compensation agreed upon by the debtor and attorney exceeds a reasonable value for the services rendered, "the court" may cancel the agreement or return some of the payment. In re Piccinini is the first case to hold that the phrase "the court" in section 329 confers exclusive jurisdiction to bankruptcy courts over attorney-debtor fee agreements, but the lack of legislative intent and supportive case could cause this case to be disregarded by future courts deciding the same issue.
In In re Piccinini, the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan rejected arguments that state courts had concurrent jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases. Instead, the Piccinini court held section 329 of the Bankruptcy Code grants exclusive jurisdiction to bankruptcy courts to resolve fee disputes between debtors and their counsel. The court relied on the well-settled interpretation of section 523(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and policy arguments supporting a similar interpretation of section 329. Piccinini stayed the state suit filed by the debtor's original counsel for collection of his fees until the bankruptcy court resolved the section 329 motion filed by the debtor.
Part I of this memorandum discusses the statutory provisions relevant to the issue of jurisdiction and section 329. Part II of this memorandum analyzes the holding in In re Piccinini. Part III of this memorandum discusses arguments that litigants may make in future section 329 jurisdiction disputes. The memorandum concludes that In re Piccinini lacks support and that the issue of jurisdiction over section 329 fee disputes is still open for debate.

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The New EP
The Town Pants
Jeff Tripoli
Saturday, August 21, 2021 Sat, Aug 21, 2021
Byrne's Pub, 1248 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, Ohio
The Town Pants started 20 years ago playing small pubs which lead to performing at music venues in over 500 cities in 15 countries and eventually to headlining Celtic, Roots and World Music festivals internationally. Three thousand shows later their own brand of Celtic roots-rock spans seven albums so far and is backed up with a legendary live show that has garnered them fans from Hawaii to Norway.
The Vancouver BC based band combines aspects of Irish traditional, folk, rock and roots Americana, fusing their signature dual lead vocals from brothers Duane and Dave Keogh. With the addition of virtuoso violinist Johanna So and backed by the solid rhythm section of Jeff Tripoli and Blake Probst the band creates a unique form of high energy "West Coast Celtic" that remains in the heart and head long after the music stops.
There are many Celtic folk-rock bands out there, but rarely does a band have this combination of passion, energy and spirit in performance coupled with some of the most imaginative songwriting you'll find in the genre.
Event confirmation is based on Covid statistics and is subject to change. Fingers crossed!

Candidates should attempt all questions.
(c) Have We Lost the Direction ?
We think of the moon as only a stone, a stone gone cold. An airless, waterless stone and the prophetic image of our own earth when, some few million years from now, the senescent sun shall have lost its present fostering power . …. And so on. This passage could easily be prolonged – a Study in Purple. But I forbear. Let every reader lay on as much of the royal rhetorical colour as he finds to his taste. Anyhow, purple or no purple, there the stone is – stony. You cannot think about it for long without finding yourself invaded by one or other of several sentiments. These sentiments belong to one or other of two contrasted and complementary groups. The name of the first family is Sentiments of Human Insignificance, of the second, Sentiments of Human Greatness. Meditating on that derelict stone afloat there in the abyss, you may feel a worm,. abject and futile in the face of wholly incomprehensible immensities. 'The silence of those infinite spaces frightens. me.' You may feel as Pascal felt. Or, alternatively, you may feel as M. Paul Valery has said: `The silence of those infinite spaces does not frighten me.' For the spectacle of that moon need not necessarily make you feel like a worm. It may, on the contrary, cause you to rejoice exultantly in your manhood. There floats the stone, the nearest and most familiar symbol of all the astronomical horrors: but the astronomers who discovered those horrors of space and time were men. The universe throws down a challenge to the human spirit; in spite of his insignificance and abjection, man has taken it up. The stone glares down at us out of the black boundlessness. But the fact that we know it justifies us in feeling a certain human pride. We have a right to our moods of sober exultation.
(a) How does the writer describe the moon ?
(b) Do you think that the image of the moon revealed here is prophetic ? Why ?
(c) What kind of two contrasted and complementary sentiments does the moon evoke ?
(d) What does the author try to suggest about the place of man in the universe ?
(e) Give the central idea of the passage.
Q. 3. Write a precis of the passage given below in your own words, not exceeding 160, on the special sheets provided. The precis sheets should be fastened securely inside the answer book. State the number of words used by you in the precis.
(d) Is vegetarianism a virtue ?
N.B. : Marks will be deducted if your precis is much longer or shorter than the prescribed length.
In our country begging has become a profession and the beggars continue to increase in numbers. So, vast indeed is the fraternity of these beggars that foreigners visiting India, especially ,cities like Varanasi, our cities of pilgrimage, have been led to call our cities the cities of beggars and of dust ! There are no statistics available for estimating their number, but that is not needed for our present purpose. Of course, any practical reform in this matter does not require a close investigation into the causes and conditions of the existence of beggars, but we are here concerned with the question of seeing how these beggars live and what, in particular, is the effect on society of their existence.
As already suggested, the vastness of the number of the Indian beggars is evident to any visitor from a foreign country. The causes of the increase in the number of beggars are many, but of these we may just consider only a few. For good or evil, Indians have been very religious in their outlook on life, and also very generous and hospitable towards those who go to them for begging. Our Puranas and Shastras point out that giving charity to beggars ensures Moksha in the next world. The social conscience deveolped from such an article of faith has been the main cause of the increase in the number of beggars. They are always sure of finding people anxious to go to heaven by offering doles and donations to the needy and so they are thriving. There are many beggars whose profession has been hereditary – a strange perversion of human nature, which, as we are told, ought to eat out of the sweat of its brow. The most amusing spectacle from the point of view of reason, is to see able-bodied persons, dressed in abundance of rags and many coloured clothes wandering about the streets and going from house to house regularly at certain hours for no more serious a purpose than that of begging ! This might be seen at almost any village and town in our country. For ages uncounted this thing has been going on. The ignorant masses have a fear of the curse supposed to emanate from the mouths of angered beggars, and thus the beggars get more than they need. In fact, strange as it might seem, a considerable number of these beggars are richer . than their poor patrons !
With the percolation of social consciousness among the modern educated Indians, the problem of beggars is today being seriously thought about and ways and means are being seriously mooted on how to solve this problem. When we read how in the West, for example, begging has become a crime coming under the vagrancy acts of Parliaments and when we know that in some countries people are warned that "Those who do not work, neither shall they eat", we begin to think how depressing is the situation in India. Poverty, no doubt, is one of the major causes of begging, and unemployment and increase in population have also been responsible for the same, but the disease-of begging has deeper roots in the social consciousness of us all, and it is to this that any reformer has to turn. We must make it clear to the masses that there is no special glory of Punya in giving charity to the able-bodied persons, and that such misplaced charity is only increasing idleness and chronic poverty. If the masses are educated in social science, its elementary principles at any rate, there will be a gradual lessening of the number of beggars in our country.
The State, too, has to devise laws for checking the growth of beggars. Some strict laws against vagrants must be put into practice in every city and village in India. It is more important to introduce them in holy cities where the beggars are leading the most unholy life. Finally, it is for the development of saner outlook on life that we must agitate if we are to root out this evil of beggary. In one form or another, begging has become the most widespread thing today. Some are honourable, modernised beggars in pants and boots and ties and they have subtler ways of exploiting their patron victims.

I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all of the Allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by the wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn.
Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use them is essential to keeping the peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle stockpiles, which can only destroy and never create, is not the only, much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace.
I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war, and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.
Some say that it is useless to speak of world peace or world law or world disarmament, and that it will be useless until the leaders of those nations, perceived to be hostile by us, adopt a more enlightened attitude. I hope they do. I believe we can help them do it. But I also believe that we must re-examine our own attitude, as individuals and as a nation, for our attitude is as essential as theirs. And every graduate of this school, every thoughtful citizen who despairs of war and wishes to bring peace, should begin by looking inward, by examining his own attitude toward the possibilities of peace.
First, let us examine our attitude toward peace itself. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable, that mankind is doomed, that we are gripped by forces we cannot control.
Our problems are man-made: therefore they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable and we believe they can do it again.
Let us focus on a more practical, more attainable peace, based not on a sudden revolution in human nature but on a gradual evolution in human institutions, on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements which are in the interest of all concerned. There is no single, simple key to this peace, no grand or magic formula to be adopted by one or two powers. Genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts. It must be dynamic, not static, changing to meet the challenge of each new generation. For peace is a process, a way of solving problems.
With such a peace there will still be quarrels and conflicting interests, as there are within families and nations. World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbour; it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever. However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem, the tide of time and events will often bring surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbours.

Q: seam-gen and flex I have integrated seam and flex with FlamingoDS
I got html file from mxml file and I stored it in WebContent folder it's fine
then I want to create link named as 'Plan' in menu.xhtml
My aim is to get that html file when i clicked on this button I don't know what to do for that
so, I have created some test.xhtml in that top element is the
for the template attribute this element I have given the template.html
and I used
then for 'Plan' link I gave the view="/test.xhtml"
It's fine when I clicked on that link I am getting the test.seam file which includes our html file but this html file is coming in some fixed area with scroll bars only eventhough there is a lot of space to fit
Please help...... me
A: First of all, it is very difficult to read your post. Please format it more readable.
Secondly, we can only guess what's wrong when we cannot see any code. But my hunch is that you are using s:decorate that includes some formating you are not aware of. This comes in standard seam-gen. Try removing that s:decorate stuff or point to another style you wish to use.

Microsoft PowerShell has proven to be the most flexible method of automating a variety of administrative tasks on a Windows system — anything that you can do with a mouse and keyboard on a Windows machine can be scripted using PowerShell.
Because of this, administrators commonly utilize PowerShell cmdlets (pronounced: command-lets), which automate tasks such as unlocking passwords, manipulating SQL data and much more.
Since PowerShell has been included as a native CLI into every modern version of Windows, PowerShell provides familiarity for those using it on Windows Server, Windows Desktops or with cloud connected infrastructure.
Windows PowerShell, as its name implies, is a shell that resembles the Windows Command Prompt. Some say that PowerShell could eventually replace the command prompt, while Windows purists believe that command prompt is here to stay. Since the command prompt has been around since the days of DOS, you could argue that the command prompt could have already been phased out by now.
With that being said, both factions believe that PowerShell is the future of Windows Systems Aadministration and that no other shell will come along to replace it. Every Windows System Administrator needs to get intimately acquainted with PowerShell in order to get the most out of their Windows network.
Power and Control Combined with Simplicity
With PowerShell, you can automate the most complex of tasks of your Windows systems using commands called cmdlets.
The best thing about PowerShell is that most Microsoft products can be used in conjunction with PowerShell. For example, you can use PowerShell to insert values into an XLSX Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
When it comes to security and scripting, Micosoft Windows is preconfigured to deny access to PowerShell because systems aren't configured to run scripts by default. If you wish to enable scripting, you must can either disable the security feature or make it to where only digitally signed scripts can run on your systems.
This built in security feature ensures that PowerShell doesn't end up becoming the new VBScript. As you may know, VBScript is a powerful language that is now frequently misused for the creation of malicious scripts. Like the command prompt, VBScript isn't going away anytime soon. However, administrators say that PowerShell is easier to use for everyday Windows tasks.
What You Can Do with PowerShell: Some Powerful Examples
There is no doubt that Windows PowerShell is as powerful as it claims to be, but how can we achieve automation with it? Here are a few ways in which PowerShell can automate your system's administration.
Quick Queries: With the cmdlet Get-Process, you can get a list of all the running processes along with their CPU and RAM usage. But that's just the first step. With PowerShell, you can set up filters to identify processes that are taking more CPU utilization.
Powerful Reports: You can set up another filter to sort these processes by their handle ID and display this data in an interactive grid. This is just an example of how you can use PowerShell to generate automated reports on your system's performance. In the previous example, we've successfully pinpointed which processes are taking up the most CPU resources.
Smarter Computing: PowerShell offers a lot of filtering and sorting options. With just a single line of code in PowerShell, you can develop a custom Service Restarting tool to revive any applications that are misbehaving.
Task Scheduler: Another way that administrators automate their systems is by using the Task Scheduler. By simply using the task scheduler to run a PowerShell script at a certain time, systems administration can become simple and predictable.
Is PowerShell the Future of Windows Computing?
PowerShell is the present and the future for Windows scripting and automation, and these are some of the reasons why:
Multipurpose: It serves as both a scripting language and a command-line shell. You can solve problems easily using existing cmdlets. In fact, you can configure your own cmdlets instead of compiling entire blocks of code.
Universal: PowerShell is capable of interacting with diverse technologies. A language that can integrate and work with all these technologies certainly has value going forward.
Object-Based: PowerShell gives you incredible flexibility as you can filter, measure, sort, group, and compare (an example of which is given before). It can work with methods and properties instead of relying on raw text.
PowerShell is useful for anyone who is working inside the Microsoft ecosystem, and it's not just for system administrators. Powershell is supported by Microsoft for cloud and on-premise solutions as well. Since Microsoft is putting all its weight behind PowerShell, it's safe to assume that Microsoft PowerShell is here to stay.

Exploring the stress-buffering effects of religiousness in relation to social and economic change: evidence from Poland
Lechner, Clemens M; Tomasik, Martin J; Silbereisen, Rainer K; Wasilewski, Jacek (2013). Exploring the stress-buffering effects of religiousness in relation to social and economic change: evidence from Poland. Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, 5(3):145-156.
Religiousness has been found to act as a protective factor against the adverse effects of stressors originating from a variety of sources. Despite ample precedent in sociological theories of religion, however, the potential stress-buffering role of religiousness in relation to stressors arising from macrolevel societal trends has not received empirical scrutiny. Recent psychological conceptualizations of social and economic change (SEC) suggest that such change manifests itself in people's lives in the form of perceived demands that act as individual-level stressors and impinge on subjective well-being (SWB). Building on this line of research, we examined whether religious attendance and subjective religiosity buffered the negative association between perceived work-related demands of SEC and depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, and work satisfaction in a sample of 1,581 Polish adolescents and adults aged 16 to 46 years. Analyses revealed that both dimensions of religiousness were positively related to SWB and buffered the impact of work-related demands on depressive symptoms. Contrariwise, no buffering effect of religiousness on either life or work satisfaction was found. Taken together, results partly confirm religiousness as a protective factor for SWB in relation to SEC but underscore the importance of taking the multifaceted nature of the construct into account in evaluating the interplay of stressors and religiousness.

Tasmanian producer Akouo has a shimmery and futuresque sound unlike anything heard before. Once known as a DJ in Australia's underground hip-hop scene, Akouo rose to prominence in 2014 after his reworks of Flume and Childish Gambino took over Hype Machine's top 5 most popular charts.
Akouo soon made a name for himself as a masterful producer and skilled tastemaker, when his infectious single'Last Time'caught the ears of music blogs across the country. Over one million plays across Soundcloud, Spotify and YouTube later, his debut EP 'Mesa' shot straight to #1 on the iTunes' electronic albums chart; a soulful blend of electronic and hip hop featuring dreamy synths, cleverly crafted percussion and brilliant hooks sung by none other than himself. Akouo has since then become an in-demand remixer, appearing on official releases by ZHU, SAFIA, Indian Summer and Jess Kent, as well as curating mixes for BBC Radio 1, triple J and MixMag Lab in Sydney. Akouo has toured across Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and has graced the stages of Falls Festival, Splendour in the Grass, Party in the Paddock and Your Paradise in Fiji. In 2016, Akouo was announced as the main support for Ganz's Australia tour, and offered an official remix to his single 'Light Years'featuring Maribelle. His latest release, Feel That featuring eclectic Australian singer Montaigne, is a testament to the mammoth year that lies ahead for the producer.

So for the first time in 8 years I decided to give away a free engagement concept photography session. Lately I've been finding that I am not shooting the style of engagement shoot I would like against backdrops that I feel will reflect my photography style, feeling a little uninspired I guess as well. I always allow my clients to choose the locations they want for their engagement shoots because those locations can evoke emotions in them if it's a special location that means something to them-I don't think I will ever change that but I am hoping by showing more backgrounds I want to shoot, it will steer my business in that direction perhaps.
There are quite a few places I want to photograph in the Halifax municipality but just don't get that opportunity. I really wanted some neat graffiti backgrounds in my portfolio as well as more rustic buildings as this really is my style. So off to Canal Street I went with my couple and then on to the Dartmouth waterfront for some night time photography. That's another thing I don't get to do, shoot engagements at sunset and after dark which I've really really really wanted to experience for so long.
Denika and Jason were absolutely wonderful to work with, Denika has such a presence on camera-she's a real natural just the way she would tilt her head in just the right way. I didn't have to give a lot of direction at all with her or Jason.
They met in 2007 but were dating other people. They would see each other randomly at local music venues and when their mutual friends all got together, but they didn't become friends until September of 2012. Separately, they went to the Rise Against concert at Citadel Hill and both ended up right at the front of the stage and spent the entire evening dancing and having an amazing time. From that point forward they started hanging out, and in March of 2013 they made it official and started dating. Jason proposed on this Christmas Eve with a beautiful rose gold half eternity diamond ring with a champagne pink sapphire center stone-it is truly beautiful and so unique looking. Thank you so much for helping build on my artistic style and I wish you both nothing but the absolute best on your upcoming wedding in August!!!!
Here are my favorites from the session which are portfolio bound. | {

General Discussions & Opinions
smooth SLC's
Thread starter CookieCoasters
CookieCoasters
Everyone is always saying how rough Vekoma SLC's and much a head banging there is that spoils the ride. I wondered if anyone had ridden a smooth that they actually found enjoyable because they must be few and far between. I've only ridden two flight deck (CW) and infusion (BPP). I can bearly remember flight deck because It was a while ago but I had mixed feelings about infusion because my first ride had some nasty head banging however, when I tried again a couple years later I rode in row 2 I found quite enjoyable with next to no head banging. Have you experienced a smooth SLC?
Intricks
Serial Thriller/Thunderhawk from good ole Geuaga Lake was known for being one of the smoothest SLCs made apparently. I dont remember much restraint issues and the headbanging wasnt as bad as it could have been.
That has also been the only SLC I have ever been on as well.

The one at Heide Park was fine and actually quite enjoyable, so I wondered what all the fuss was about with regards to SLC's........ Then I went on Infusion and El Condor and ALL became apparent <///3
ATTACKHAMMER
Kumali was fine.
ATTACKHAMMER said:
I always want to disqualify Kumali, on the grounds that it's not the infamous standard layout. However, if we're counting it, then no, don't be silly. It can't even be smooth in a straight line, let alone through the elements!
nealbie said:
Didn't know it was different..... I must have been very lucky then, I thought it was fine. :--D

</////3
Ahem. Errm, Jubilee Odyssey wasn't too bad and I'll go along with Kumali too. They're SUCH frustrating coasters because layout-wise they should be really fun coasters to ride, but just......so much pain!
Thunderhawk back when it was at Geauga Lake and even now at Michigan's Adventure is really smooth as far as SLCs go! That's the only one I think I'd willingly reride these days, because the rest I've been on are a bit poo. Hell, back when I was nine, it was actually my number one coaster .
F.A.S.T.
I've only ever been on two SLCs: Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens and Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure. Of the two, Thunderhawk takes the cake for being the smoothest. I rerode it at least twice and it wasn't that bad. Mind Eraser on the other hand was terrible. I never want to ride it again!
andrus
This. Except I haven't ridden Infusion..
madhjsp
Slightly OT, but since we're talking about SLC's, does anyone know if this is actually true?
Jubilee Odyssey
Fantasy Island, Skegness
Track length 2,923ft
Height 167ft
Drop 141ft
Maximum speed 63mph
Duration 2 mins 52 secs
Max vertical angle 60 degrees
G-force 4.8 Gs
The UK's most rustic ride? This five-inversion rollercoaster is driven by a £4 million dung-powered generator, which converts manure into methane gas.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/features/3637442/Top-50-rollercoasters.html
I guess some SLC's really are pretty crappy! :--D
madhjsp said:
Well the electricity to power it may well be generated from a biomass type thing, but that would probably be for the whole area or park maybe. It's hard to know, I somehow doubt it would be just for JO.
Youngster Joey
I can remember 2 off the top of my head. Top gun at CW (which could be burned to the ground and still not get what It deserves. The other being mind eraser at Darien Lake. A little head banging and vibration but no that bad. I willing go on it once or twice a trip but more than that is a bad idea.
Vortex at Siam Park City was really, really smooth and probably the main reason that I tend to stick up for SLCs to some extent: the standard layout is very good. It's just too bad that too many of them are so rough that the layout becomes irrelevant. It had just been relocated and recently opened at the time, so no idea how it rides now though.
F2 Fright Flight was fine as well. Not as smooth as Vortex, but it still stood out above the majority of the others I've ridden. It had been open for 13-14 years by the time I rode it, which was quite surprising really.
I found Golden Wings in Snowfield (Kumali clone) to be very smooth, but it was brand new at the time so who knows?
The worst? That THING at Canada's Wonderland.
Martyn B
Kumali is fine, just a little bland.
Jubilee Odyssey is one of them coasters that can vary. But there's only one real 'headbang' moment, the rest is just bumps/rattles, which I find ok really.
Infusion - I like the coaster, it has a good layout, but there are waaay to much head banging, especially through the rolls.
Why is it they can make a big, fast SLC like JO, and it turns out fine (mostly), yet the standard SLC's are pretty awful?
I'm going to go ahead & rebut my own post, because after actually reading some of the things said in the link I provided, I've found there's plenty of reason to doubt the veracity of anything printed on the page. Here are some highlights:
For Megafobia said:
The tallest wooden coaster in Europe.
There are 11 taller ones..
For Antelope said:
The last wooden ride to be built in the UK to date.
Nevermind that Megafobia, the ride they mention just two spots up, was built a year later.
For Brean Leisure Park's Shockwave said:
Brean Leisure Park, Somerset
Height 120ft Drop 80ft
Duration 1 hr 36 mins
G-force 4
With four inversions, this recreates the feel of a fighter aeroplane looping the loop.
Nevermind that this Shockwave only has one inversion... just look at that ride time! Must be a world record.
And then there are these gems:
For Nemesis said:
Nemesis was Europe's first 'inverted' rollercoaster (capable of turning people upside down), with four inversions.
For Stealth said:
Powered by rocket-style nitrogen boosters, this is Europe's second fastest (and - gasp! - third tallest) coaster, voted the UK's best.
For Kumali said:
A fantastic four-inversion, suspended coaster (cars hang from the track and swing from side to side), named after one of the zoo's tigers.
Good grief! :lol:
insanecoastervids
kong at sfdk a little rough but pretty good
bmac
Nor'Easter @ Morey's Piers has gotten much better over the last two years, I guess those "new" Vekoma trains finally got broken in. It's good for a little head rattling but it doesn't completely kill you like before.
Vortex at Siam Park City <3 I actually prefer it to Nemesis: Inferno, it's so **** good! It's such a surprise, just wished I had the same experience on Infusion for that matter.
^I always forget that someone else on here has actually ridden Vortex. I always worry that when I say how good it is it comes across as one of those "nobody else has ridden it, so I'll say that to brag" kind of posts.
Their Bommerang was very smooth as well I thought. | {

There are no shortage of detective stories on television. You can watch crime shows or shows about the court system. While these stories might be entertaining, they are also fiction. Sometimes, you want to follow something a little bit more authentic. When you're tired of fictional television, you can listen to a real police scanner.
Residents can listen to local police radio communications in Indianapolis, Indiana (IMPD). It's completely legal, as long as you don't listen in to any phone or cellular communications. And most of the time, you can find ways to listen to these police communications absolutely free.
Today, you don't need any strange equipment to listen to the Indianapolis, Indiana (IMPD) police department. Instead, you can use a service that streams these communications online. You just need a computer or smartphone and an internet connection in order to access these feeds and listen in. This doesn't mean that you have to download anything. Instead, there are websites that allow you to stream the audio, with or without a download.
Using one of these streaming services helps you keep in touch with what is going on in the local area. In the Indianapolis, Indiana (IMPD) area, there are sure to be robberies, car crashes, drunk drivers and domestic situations on any given night. Using your scanner you can keep track of where these things occur and make decisions that keep you and your family safe.
In addition to safety, you can use your police scanner to gain an insight into how police operations work. You can find out how and why the police do what they do. You can learn what types of crime are the most common and how the police respond to them. You can learn how the police choose to respond to certain types of situations.
Technology developments keep making police scanning services better and better. Some scanners have the ability to stop, fast forward and rewind, so you can skip quiet parts and listen to the most breathtaking events over and over again. Some allow you to move between different police feeds within a single department.
If you want to enhance your listening experience, you can study what are called 10 codes. 10 codes are shorthand codes that police offers use to communicate quickly. For example, if an officer needs assistance, she might say 10-0. If an officer is busy, he can say 10-6, or 10-4 if he understands and everything is safe and okay. The 10 code system has helped law enforcement officers since 1937. Because these codes are standardized, they minimize communication difficulties within a department and they help avoid misunderstandings that could mean the different between life and death.
Listening to a police scanner online is an easy and free way to find countless hours of entertainment. The best police drama is a real-life drama. Listening is educational and even a valuable way to learn how to react to trying situations in your own life or learn when to call police. You can see just what police go through in order to keep society full of law and order.
These websites let you listen to law enforcement communications from Indianapolis, Indiana (IMPD), literally every hour of the day, all year long. Make sure you pay attention to what you're doing if any website requires you to download software to use their services.
This might not necessarily be a problem, but make sure you're using the service you want, because there are many services available, and you want the features that matter to you most when you listen to police transmissions in the Hoosier State. | {

Codemasters Gives Up On FPS Genre, Shuts Down Studio Behind Bodycount
By Will Usher published 14 September 11
Thank you Codemasters! It's sad that the publisher is only now moving in a new direction within the industry, and away from FPS games, after 70 talented game designers lost their jobs, but sometimes that's what it takes to get the sheep from grazing with the wolves.
Develop is reporting that Codemasters' Guildford studio is shutting its doors. It's the same studio responsible for Operation Flashpoint: Red River and the easily forgettable shooter, BodyCount. Not to be crass, but another run-and-gun, arcade shooter inspired by Call of Duty is really the last thing the industry needed and it was obvious the game wasn't going to sell very well, especially considering that the one feature that could have saved the game (i.e., environment shredding and deconstruction) was heavily scaled back due to RAM issues on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Basically gamers were left with the shell of an idea in another standard-fare shooter, and reviews and sales reflected that.
Accordingly, 66 members from the Guildford Studio will be placed in a consultation phase and appropriately moved to either the Warwickshire site or the Birmingham site under Codemasters' in-house development wing.
In a statement released to Develop, a spokesperson for Codemasters stated that…
"As we look to take greater leadership in the racing category, Codemasters is proposing a studio structure that adds resource and strengthens our best-in-class racing teams," …"As we look to take greater leadership in the racing category, Codemasters is proposing a studio structure that adds resource and strengthens our best-in-class racing teams,"
Again…thank you Codemasters! The over-saturation of generic FPS games at the moment, all aiming to cash in on the Call of Duty bug is only hurting the industry. I'm glad they didn't try to reorganize and re-attempt another FPS, because it only would have spelled further doom for the publisher. They stated that they will be working on a new IP as they strengthen their position within the racing category. It will be interesting to see what their new racing IP will be and what direction they will go in within the genre.
Hopefully for those who lost their jobs at the Guildford studio, they will find a new home at another studio elsewhere…and perhaps, maybe they won't get attached to another FPS clone project.

Red Light is in the vicinity of the first peak of a plants light absorption spectrum (660nm) and it contributes to the plant photosynthesis. Red light, when combined with blue light, encourages flowering. It can also be used in higher doses to stimulate flowering, seeding and fruiting.
Blue light is responsible primarily for vegetative growth (leaf). It is known that chlorophyll has the second distinct absorption peak in the vicinity of blue light wavelengths (450nm). The blue light is also indispensable to the morphologically healthy growth plant. There is also more sunlight energy in the blue-green wavelengths.
HID lighting stands for High Intensity Discharge, which is a special type of lighting that is much more intense (brighter) than other type of lighting available. An HID lighting system consists of a ballast, reflector, socket and lamp (light bulb). The ballast acts like the engine, converting and driving energy to illuminate the lamp. HID lighting options include High Pressure Sodium (HPS), Metal Halide (MH), Mercury Vapor and Low Pressure Sodium. The two typically used for plant growth are HPS and MH systems.
LEDs in greenhouses produce same yield as grow lights, using just 25% of the energy. The results of a Purdue University study show that by using LED lights instead of the conventional high pressure sodium (HPS) lights for growing tomatoes in greenhouses, growers could get the same yields of fruit from the plants using just 25% of the energy required with current methods.
What are Color Rendering Index (CRI), Color Temperature (K) and Lumen?
Color Rendering Index is a subjective measurement of how well a lamp source renders colors. A measurement of the degree of color-shift an object undergoes when illuminated by a light source when compared to a reference source of comparable color temperature. Incandescent light is assumed to have a CRI of around 100 so it will render all colors correctly. MH only has a CRI of about 70, so only 70% of colors will be rendered correctly. HPS has a CRI of 22.
What is important to remember about these two terms is that CRI readings, of two sources, can only be compared if their color temperature is equal. You cannot compare the CRI of HPS (CRI=22) vs. Metal Halide (CRI=70) because the color temperatures are different (2200K vs. 4500K).
Traditionally, fluorescent lighting was used for seedlings, cuttings and plants with low light-level requirements and HID was used for established plants and plants with higher light-level requirements. Advances in fluorescent lighting technology, however, have provided more options for horticulturists. T5 fluorescent lighting is the latest in plant growth lighting. T5's high-light output combined with its low heat and energy consumption makes it an ideal light source to grow a broader array of plants.
T5 lamps provide the ideal spectrum for plant growth. Photosynthesis rates peak at 435 nm and 680 nm. A 6500K T5 lamp has a spectral distribution with relative intensity peaks at 435 nm and 615 nm. This equates to very little wasted light energy in terms of plant growth. T5 lamps promote incredible health and vigor of seedlings and cuttings. Root development is superior relative to other lighting sources. While T5 lighting is excellent for starting seeds and cuttings, it's also able to produce enough light for full term growth. Because of their minimal heat output, T5 lamps can be placed 6" - 8" above the plant canopy, which maximizes photosynthetic response. Unlike conventional fluorescents, plants grown under T5 lamps do not have to be rotated to the center of the lamp. T5's slim diameter enables better photo-optic control of the emitted light, increasing efficiency in the form of even light distribution.
Frequencies output to the lamp and energy conversion from electricity to usable light are the biggest differences between HID ballasts and electronic ballasts. HID ballasts produce a frequency of 60 Hz. Electronic ballasts vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the frequency produced can be 400x that of an HID ballast. HID ballasts produce more heat than electronic ballasts, thus making electronic ballasts more energy efficient. You will not, however, save money on your electric bill by using electronic ballasts. HID lighting has been available for 60+ years, while electronic ballast (especially 400 watt and higher) is a relatively new technology.
How much energy wills my light use?
Most lamp manufacturers rate their lamps by "Average Life Hours" and usually claim 10,000 to 24,000 hours. These ratings are based on when the lamp will completely fail to come on. They do not factor in loss of intensity or loss of color. HID lamps lose intensity and color through normal use. This is OK if you are lighting a warehouse, but when it comes to plant growth, these losses can mean wasted electricity and poor plant performance. Serious horticulturalists recommend that you replace your lamps after 6000 hours of use. This equates to using your light 16 hours a day for one year.
The higher the wattage the further away you want the light to be from your plants due to the amount of heat. HID lighting will be further away than a fluorescent fixture because of this. When mounting your lighting fixture take into account the type of plant and how tall the plant will grow. You want to keep the light as close as you can, but not so close to burn the plant. A simple rule is "if it is comfortable for the back of your hand, it will be a safe distance for your plants". Doing a little research on the type of plant and where it comes from will help in determining how much (or little) light your plants like. With fast growing plants, you may need to check the hanging height on a regular basis as plants that get too close to the lamp will be severely burned.
The size of the garden area will determine the wattage you need. If we assume that the plants will get no sunlight, a 1000 watt light will cover about 7 x 7 feet of growing area. A 600 watt will cover 6 x 6 feet, a 400 watt will cover 4 x 4 feet, and a 250 watt will cover 3 x 3 feet. These sized areas would be considered the "Primary Growing" areas. These lights will light-up larger areas, but plants placed outside of the Primary Growing area, will stretch and bend toward the light; a phenomenon called phototropism. Keep these areas of coverage in mind when using multiple fixtures. The best results occur when the areas of coverage overlap.
Why do I need glass to get the UL listing on a Metal Halide light?
The inner arc tube of a Metal Halide lamp contains mercury. Underwriters Laboratory has stated that for a Metal Halide fixture to maintain its UL Listing, that an additional tempered safety lens is required in the event that the arc-tube and outer glass fail. This will prevent the spread of Mercury. | {

Home secretary Amber Rudd has accused technology companies of "patronising" politicians, ahead of the planned announcement of new penalties for viewing militant online content.
Speaking at a fringe meeting at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, Rudd said companies must do more to help government authorities access messages sent over services such as WhatsApp.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, meaning no one but the sending and receiving parties can read the message. The technology, also employed in other services offered by Facebook, Telegram, Google and others, means even the companies offering the service have no way of accessing the messages' content.
Law enforcement authorities have voiced concern that such services are used to plot attacks.
Rudd said she didn't want to ban encryption or insert "back doors" into messaging technology, but wanted authorities to be able to access messages.
Asked by a member of the audience whether she understood the technical implications of end-to-end encryption, Rudd said she didn't need to do so to see that it was helping "the criminals".
"It's so easy to be patronised in this business. We will do our best to understand it," she said, according to reports.
"We will take advice from other people but I do feel that there is a sea of criticism for any of us who try and legislate in new areas, who will automatically be sneered at and laughed at for not getting it right.
Michael Beckerman, chief executive of the Internet Association, which represents Google, Microsoft, Amazon and other large US companies, told the meeting the home secretary's goal was "understandable", but he argued encryption was "just math and it has been invented it can't uninvented".
As such it could be used by any company, meaning that if legitimate companies switched it off users would simply start using other options.
But Rudd responded that such implications didn't change the fact that Silicon Valley firms have a "moral" obligation to help combat militant attacks.
Later on Tuesday Rudd is set to announce that those repeatedly viewing extremist content online face 15 years in prison, part of a review of government security strategy.
The changes strengthen existing provisions regarding the possession of information likely to be useful to militants, which currently apply only to materials that have been downloaded, saved or printed. The change means the penalties will also apply to materials repeatedly viewed or streamed online.
The change doesn't apply to materials viewed only once and a "reasonable excuse" defence would still be available to academics, journalists or others with a legitimate reason to view such materials, Rudd is expected to say. | {

Helping Hands Food Pantry in Charlotte has raised $175,000; will break ground on a new facility this month.
CHARLOTTE - Phil Grimwood had been on the hunt for Helping Hands Food Pantry's new home for a year before he learned about the vacant, 1-acre parcel just off Jefferson Street.
It sits behind Crossroads United Brethren Church, occupying six lots within Charlotte's city limits.
"It was not ever on my radar," said Grimwood, the nonprofit's director.
But a visit to the property was all it took to convince him it was the ideal spot to build a new facility that can handle the growing need for food assistance in and around Charlotte.
Helping Hands bought the land, finalizing the $15,000 sale with its previous owner, Crossroads United Brethren Church, in January. The faith-based nonprofit will break ground on the construction of its new 5,200-square-foot building this month.
If all goes well, the pantry — which services Charlotte, Vermontville, Olivet and Sunfield — will move out of the aging, century-old building on South Cochran Avenue it's been housed in for two decades and into the finished facility this fall.
The move couldn't come at a better time. Demand for the pantry has increased. Last year nearly 6,000 people received food there, up from about 5,300 in 2017, Grimwood said.
It makes sense, Grimwood said, when you consider that 91% of Helping Hands clients live in Charlotte. The city and the surrounding area in the 48813 zip code has the second highest poverty rate, at 19.9%, in the county. Only Olivet's is higher, at 22.4%.
By comparison, Grand Ledge's poverty level is 9.8%. Ingham County's poverty rate is 20.4%.
Barbara Vandermolen, the pantry's treasurer, started volunteering at Helping Hands three months after it was established, in 1984.
She remembers its move to 600 S. Cochran Ave. The former grocery store is Helping Hands' third location, a two-story, 1,400-square-foot building just south of the city's downtown.
"We said, 'We'll never need the upstairs,'" Vandermolen said. "Now we're using every square foot of the building."
A visit is all it takes to confirm the pantry has outgrown it. There's a small waiting room and modest office space. Through a small hallway is a sorting and packing room where cardboard boxes are filled with food for clients. Through another doorway is a room lined with freezers and refrigerators.
The space offers no privacy for client intake interviews, or discussions. Volunteers often pray with clients who ask them to where ever they can find the room to gather.
The pantry's leadership began raising money for a new building in November of 2017, and have collected $175,000. Grimwood hopes to raise another $125,000 toward the cost of the new facility before the move.
It's not an unrealistic goal, he said, because community members and out-of-town strangers have stepped up in the last year to help the pantry raise money.
In January of last year, after an article about the need for a new building ran in the State Journal and the Detroit Free Press, Grimwood said at least a dozen people from outside the area sent in donations.
"It varied from $10 to $100, and so on," he said. Helping Hands even received a letter from a girl in Bloomfield Hills with a hand-drawn picture of a new building.
"There was $40 in it," he said. "It was really sweet. I've got it hanging in my office, and I wrote her a letter that said, 'I like your drawing. I'm going to build a building just like it.'"
The pantry also received some large donations from former Charlotte area residents and regular supporters, including one for $25,000 and another for $50,000.
"People care," Grimwood said. "Everyone involved in this thing has said, 'We're going to give you a break.'"
At Helping Hands, 37% of the clients are children, 40% are disabled, and 13% are elderly, Grimwood said.
Only about 3% of the people who come to the pantry use it every month, while about a third come once a year, usually when a financial emergency leaves them no choice.
Helping Hands has helped Charlotte resident Blanca Bayles, 44, afford both food and medication costs, on and off, for the last six years.
"It's made a big difference in my life," Bayles said.
Staff and volunteers aren't alone in noticing the pantry's space constraints, she said.
"It's crowded there," she said. "They need space."
But Bayles said many people who need Helping Hands walk there. That's why building a new facility within the city limits is so important to Grimwood.
"We thought we were going to have to leave the city limits, and that would have created a real hardship," he said.
Now, the nonprofit won't have to.
The new facility will be nearly four times larger than its current home, and plans call for private office space and interview rooms. The building will be handicap accessible, and it's designed for efficiency, Grimwood said.
The community will see the new site take shape this spring. Meanwhile, the pantry will continue raising money to pay for it. Grimwood says the support is there.
► In 2018, nearly 6000 people received food from the pantry, an increase of nearly 600 people from 2017, and 900 people from 2016.
► Last year the pantry distributed 565,000 pounds of food. That's equivalent to 450,000 meals.
► Helping Hands' clients can visit once a month, but only about 3% do. An estimated 33% of the pantry's clients come once a year.
► Charlotte area residents account for just over 91 percent of the pantry's clients. The pantry also services Olivet, Vermontville and Sunfield.
► About 37% of Helping Hands services go to children. About 40% are disabled, and 13% are elderly.
Donations for a new pantry facility can be sent to Helping Hands Food Pantry at 600 S. Cochran Ave., Charlotte, MI 48813. Individuals can also visit the nonprofit's website at www.helpinghandsfoodpantry.org . | {

YESS!! she's free and off we went to klcc to get myself roller-blade and an end to my starbux crave.. darn it felt so goooodddd!!! though, i didn't get to end my movie crave yet..
wait.. i did watch movie on friday.. watched marley and me.. buttttttt... it's a bit off my taste of movie.. but at least i got to try the premium class.. oh and dinner at YO! Sushi.. HECK!! it was soo badddd!! the originality of sushi to udon were totally destroyed by theirs.. seriously!!! better of go sakae sushi or ichiban.. so they might wanna do fusion type sushi but nahhh!!! no second chance for you YO! Sushi...!
so comes monday.. the plan was to go wall climbing in the morning.. i assumeeeddd it's going to be quite a bit *the fee* so i kinda "undo" the plan and wanted to go rollerblading that morning.. but it was raining and things happened that i didn't get to do it that morning.. then i tot of going to alamanda and watch movie there in the evening.. even checked the time but ended up tak jadi jugak.. why? first, i had a BAD ULCER PAIN at the back of my jaw.. i can't eat, talk even smile.. i even had headache because of it and baddddd mooooddd.. i even had to take a nap cz i can't stand the pain.. secondly, because my sister took a long time to bersiap and lalalallala.. we went out of the house at 3pm.. oh well.. we tot of stopping at alamanda and do some shopping first before heading to my sis's place.. but instead, syiok berborak punye pasal, i drove straight to my sis's place and only realize when i'm 200m away for hers..we just stopped and tot of waiting for asar prayers and then, we'll head to dataran putrajaya, and then alamanda, do some shopping, solat there and heads off to ampang..
instead.. we stopped, my bro-in-law ordered pizza, pizza came in right after azan asar, solat and makan and by then, it's alreay 515-530.. damn.. i ended up blading in the house.. YES!! IN THE HOUSE!! punyer laa i crave nak main.. then, 7++, went off to alamanda to get some stuff for my sis and my lil-bro-in-law-to-be yang crave for good salami sandwich.. went back to my sis's place.. my lil sis buat the sandwich for him who came later, makan2, took some pictures and by 10pm, we're ready to go back to ampang.. by then, i'm already puffed.. excruciating pain from the ulcer.. didn't get to eat.. didn't get to do what i want to do.. and on top of that, a REALLY BAD mood flunctuation..
the next next weekend's plan also canceled becz it is raining season.. hence, the "wiser" one asked us to delay it to the end of month; better around that time InsyaAllah..
"We humans only plan things to happen.. But in the end, Only God will decide everything for us"
kawan2 nama pun Yo sushi, like what kind of name is that?

Identification of extreme precipitation threat across midlatitude regions based on short-wave circulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres
The most severe thunderstorms, producing extreme precipitation, occur over subtropical and midlatitude regions. Atmospheric conditions conducive to organized, intense thunderstorms commonly involve the coupling of a low-level jet (LLJ) with a synoptic short wave. The midlatitude synoptic activity is frequently modulated by the circumglobal teleconnection (CGT), in which meridional gradients of the jet stream act as a guide for short Rossby waves. Previous research has linked extreme precipitation events with either the CGT or the LLJ but has not linked the two circulation features together. In this study, a circulation-based index was developed by combining (a) the degree of the CGT and LLJ coupling, (b) the extent to which this CGT-LLJ coupling connects to regional precipitation and (c) the spatial correspondence with the CGT (short wave) trending pattern over the recent 32 years (1979–2010). Four modern-era global reanalyses, in conjunction with four gridded precipitation data sets, were utilized to minimize spurious trends. The results are suggestive of a link between the CGT/LLJ trends and several recent extreme precipitation events, including those leading to the 2008 Midwest flood in U.S., the 2011 tornado outbreaks in southeastern U.S., the 2010 Queensland flood in northeastern Australia, and to the opposite side the 2012 central U.S. drought. Moreover, an analysis of three Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 models from the historical experiments points to the role of greenhouse gases in forming the CGT trends during the warm season.

This well known prison work song "Rosie" was written by inmates of the Mississippi State Penitentiary Parchman work camp in the 1940s.
As the accompanying article explains, songs like "Rosie" were used by prisoners to coordinate dangerous hard labor, and to pass the time. In this way, the song is reminiscent of a traditional slave song. | {

Proposed City Council Rule Change Falls Short in Face of Community Opposition
Speakers concerned about Chief Kirkpatrick's interference in council decisions; Her
actions also cost her former employer, City of Spokane, $1.7 million jury award
Conflicts about abuse of power and political intrigue that are typically a feature of debates at the national level arose at the Oakland City Council meeting this week. Dozens of people from the community showed up to oppose a resolution to give the council president unchecked authority to appoint and remove committee chairs and members.
Speaker after speaker blasted the resolution as an anti-democratic move designed to intimidate oppositional, progressive voices on the council. A number of speakers said the change was especially meant to silence Public Safety Committee Chair Desley Brooks, who has been outspoken in condemnation of the Oakland Police Department's cooperation with ICE immigration raids in violation of the sanctuary city policy passed by the council.
In the course of the debate, Council President Larry Reid admitted he had been called by Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick about this issue but refused to discuss the content of their conversation.
Until now, the council's Rules and Procedures has granted the president the authority to appoint committee members and chairs for two-year terms and has required that the appointments go to a council vote for confirmation.
The rule change, proposed by Councilmembers Lynette Gibson McElhaney and Annie Campbell Washington and Council President Larry Reid, would have allowed the president to shuffle committee chairs and members at any time and would remove the requirement for a council confirmation vote.
Not a single speaker who addressed the council supported the motion. In the face of community opposition, the proposal failed, winning only four votes, one vote short of what it needed to pass. It was supported by the proposal's original three sponsors and Councilmember Abel Guillén.
Ultimately, a modified motion was passed, proposed by Councilmember Dan Kalb.
Falling short of what the McElhaney proposal was trying to achieve, the new rule—which goes into effect immediately—gives the council president power to appoint and remove committee members at will, but requires that his decisions go to the council for ratification.
Under the new rule, changes in committee membership cannot go into effect without public debate and a council decision.
Voting for the rule change were McElhaney, Campbell Washington, Reid, Guillén and Kalb. Opposed were Brooks and Noel Gallo. Councilmember-at-Large Rebecca Kaplan abstained.
Concerns have been circulating about whether Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick had contacted Council President Reid about removing Brooks from her position as chair of Public Safety, and when questioned at the meeting by a community member, Reid said he had received a call from the chief.
Jonah Strauss of the Oakland Warehouse Coalition asked President Reid, "Did you have a recent call with Anne Kirkpatrick, chief of police? Do you feel it is appropriate for OPD to have a say in committee assignments?"
Reid responded, "Yeah, the police chief called me, but that's my conversation with her, and I don't have to share it with you. That's my answer to your question."
Rashidah Grinage of the Coalition for Police Accountability criticized the chief for interfering in city government and councilmembers for doing her bidding.
The police chief is afraid of an elected councilmember "to the point where she crosses all kinds of ethical and governmental
Rashidah Grinage
processes to make an effort to remove this person who has oversight," said Grinage.
The chief is "so intimidated by being questioned and asked to account for her own actions that she retaliates against this person who is doing her job [and] who is representing the interests and the values and the laws of the community," she said.
"This is a very frightening situation if this council is going to knuckle to pressure from a police chief," she said. "Think about the signal that will send to this community."
"You seem to think we don't know what's behind [the rule change], and in your efforts to be obscure, you are very clear and transparent," Grinage said.
The East Bay Times reported Wednesday that the police chief said she had called Reid "to express concerns" about the December verdict in Elaine Brown's lawsuit against the city and Brooks.
The police chief was herself the subject of a lawsuit while she served in Spokane, costing the city nearly $2 million.
Councilmember McElhaney said the rule change was only to make the council rules more efficient and modern, in line with how other cities assign committee members.
"Since 2014, I have sought to bring forth these changes…to provide for a continuity of service in case there is an interruption in our chair leadership [for health or other reasons]," said McElhaney.
"I have sought to bring modernization to [the rules]," she said.
Campbell Washington said, "This a very common rule in legislative bodies. I believe it will allow us to manage our business in a way that is necessary and respond to issues that we need to respond to."
Kaplan questioned the motivation and consequences of the rule change.
"I don't see any reference [in the proposal] to when a committee chair is incapacitated," she said.
"But it appears this would allow committee assignments to be changed daily, hourly, for any reason, for no reason, and in fact there be no protections at all [against] it being used to punish somebody for not voting for something or for other reasons that would really be disruptive to the integrity of the body."
Desley Brooks
Councilmember Brooks called the proposal part of a "concerted effort" on the part of councilmembers, the administration and the media "to try and seize this moment, to try to get the public to make a rush to judgment about me."
"[This] really isn't just about me," she said. "I am just the vehicle. This has been an attempt to silence the voice of the community."
A number of speakers syosupported Brooks' work as a defender of the interests of the community.
Anthony Palik said he has been living in Oakland for less than a week and came to the council meeting after reading newspapers.
"[Desley Brooks] is obviously someone who can speak truth to power, and she's a courageous woman for doing so," he said.
"To hear what Ms. Brooks had to say convinced me that there's a problem here. And that problem is the consolidation of power…an attempt of the majority to silence the minority."
Turha Ak of the Community Ready Corps talked about how Brooks helped protect people during the protests in 2009 when Oscar Grant was killed by BART police.
He explained that as he was "trying to get people out to safety," Ms. Brooks stepped through the tear gas, made [the police] back down and allowed me to get the people out."
"You are not going to tell me that this isn't about getting rid of her," he said. "We're (not) going to play that game," he said. "You do developers' business. You do corporations' business. You do your business. You don't do the people's business."
Cat Brooks, a journalist, actor and leader of the Anti Police-Terror Project, said, "This is not about personal relations. It's about when the people say this is how we want to move, and we got hundreds of people inside this room saying this is how Oakland wants you to move, Desley listens when we say that.
"We have to be clear that getting Desley off of this council is getting progressive voices out of the room."
In November 2011, a jury found that then-Spokane, WA Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick (left) had illegally fired a police officer and then retaliated against him even after the officer was cleared of any wrongdoing. The jury ultimately awarded the officer $1.7 million.

The Museum of Anthropology
The Anthropology Museum of Naples , established in 1881 following the intervention of Francesco De Sanctis, Minister of Education of the Kingdom of Italy, was configured for a long time as a set of collections sometimes exhibited, more often archived, collections acquired or made up of specimens of the researches of Giustiniano Nicolucci , eminent anthropologist and first director of the Museum.
Between 1890 and 1921, the Museum of Anthropology acquired notoriety, thanks also to the efforts of Abele De Blasio and Vincenzo Giuffrida Ruggeri , the latter successor of Nicolucci to the chair of Anthropology. From the 1930s to the 1990s, the Museum went through a very difficult period due to the loss of the Anthropology chair and the vicissitudes of the World War which resulted in damage to the rooms where the exhibits were kept, recovered by the illustrious biologist Mario Galgano.
At the end of the 1990s, thanks to historical surveys and the recovery of the collections, the anthropological heritage was exhibited in the halls of the Collegio Massimo dei Gesuiti and the Museum of Anthropology fully regained its prestige and role.
The exhibition area of about 180 square meters is divided into two rooms equipped with large showcases.
The heritage of the Museum consists of over 26,000 exhibits that tell human biodiversity, the biological and cultural evolution of man : here are the casts of the skulls of the hominids such as the infant skull of Australopithecus africanus and the skull cap of Homo erectus pekinensis made in 1936, together with archaeological and archaeological artefacts such as Paleolithic double-sideds, Neolithic polished stone axes, Metall Age pottery, leather shields from Africa, ceremonial shafts and objects of the indigenous peoples of Palawan Island ( Philippines) and little Andaman . Of important value are the four South American human mummies from the pre-Columbian era.
In the section of human osteological finds , the skulls affected by morphological anomalies and traumas belonging to the Craniological Collection of Giustiniano Nicolucci and the skulls from the excavations of Pompeii in 79 AD are very suggestive.
Noteworthy is the "exploded" skull and the findings of tattooed human skin deriving from Abele De Blasio's research.

DECISION ON INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL OF THE TRIAL CHAMBER'S DECISION ON THE ASSIGNMENT OF DEFENSE COUNSEL
The Office of the Prosecutor:
Ms. Carla Del Ponte
Mr. Geoffrey Nice QC
Ms. Hildegard Uertz-Retzlaff
Mr. Dermot Groom
Mr. Slobodan Milosevic
Assigned Counsel
Mr. Steven Kay QC
Ms. Gillian Higgins
Prof. Timothy McCormack
1. The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 ("Tribunal" or "ICTY ") is seized of the "Appeal Against the Trial Chamber's Decision on Assignment of Defence Counsel (Corrigendum)" filed by Assigned Counsel for Slobodan Milosevic on 29 September 2004.
2. This appeal arises from the trial of Slobodan Milosevic for crimes allegedly committed while he was President of the Republic of Serbia and, subsequently, President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Milosevic is charged with perpetrating multiple crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and a series of violations of the laws or customs of war. The lengthy and complex list of charges against him was originally contained in three separate indictments for each of three geographic regions – Kosovo, Croatia, and Bosnia – but has since been consolidated for a single trial,1 which began on 12 February 2002.
3. Throughout these proceedings – and well before his actual trial began – Milosevic has insisted on his right to represent himself, rejecting all suggestions that counsel should be appointed to represent him. And since the first Status Conference on 30 August 2001, the Trial Chamber has consistently recognized Milosevic's right to do so, concluding that "the Accused has a right to counsel, but he also has a right not to have counsel."2 The Trial Chamber has also emphasized its view, however, that "the right to defend oneself in person is not absolute."3 While starting from the assumption that imposing counsel on an unwilling defendant "is not normally appropriate in adversarial proceedings such as these," the Trial Chamber has made clear its intention to "keep the position under review."4
4. Over the course of the trial, Milosevic's health problems have posed steadily growing difficulties for both him and the Trial Chamber. He has long suffered from two chronic cardiovascular conditions: severe essential hypertension and hypertrophic heart disease. Medical reports ordered by the Trial Chamber in July 2002 revealed that the stress of the trial had so badly exacerbated these two conditions that careful monitoring by a cardiologist would be necessary throughout the proceedings.5 Based on the medical advice of the examining physicians, the trial thereafter proceeded on the understanding that, when Milosevic's blood pressure elevated to unacceptable levels, an adjournment would be necessary until his condition returned to normal. And adjourned it frequently was. During the two-year presentation of the Prosecution's case, proceedings had to be suspended thirteen times because of Milosevic's ill health, for a total of 66 days.6 Even during periods of good health, the Trial Chamber's working schedule was substantially constrained by doctors' recommendations of a reduced hearing schedule. In order to allow Milosevic to recover from the exertions of trial, the Trial Chamber initially mandated four consecutive rest days between every two weeks of hearings. After signs of a further downturn in Milosevic's health, however, that period had to be increased to four days of rest for every week of trial, yielding a sitting schedule of three days per week.7
5. Through the summer of 2004, there had been little indication this situation could be expected to ameliorate. To the contrary, Milosevic's health actually "seemed to decline rather than improve" with time,8 presenting particular problems during this calendar year. After the Prosecution rested its case on 25 February 2004, the Trial Chamber scheduled the opening of Milosevic's defense presentation for 8 June 2004. But even though that three-month delay was already intended to account for "the illness of the Accused,"9 continuing bouts of bad health necessitated five more postponements of Milosevic's opening statement.10 The second phase of the trial ultimately commenced on 31 August 2004 with a two-day opening statement by Milosevic – more than six months after the close of the Prosecution's case.11
6. In the face of Milosevic's mounting health problems, the Trial Chamber decided to "carry out a radical review of the trial process and the continuation of the trial in the light of the health problems of the Accused, which are clearly chronic and recurrent based on the most recent report from the doctor."12 The Trial Chamber ordered two separate medical examinations to assess Milosevic's fitness to continue representing himself: one by Milosevic's treating physician, and one by an independent cardiologist with no prior involvement in the case.13 Both doctors concluded that, given the current state of Milosevic's health, there was a real risk that a life-threatening hypertensive emergency would develop if he continued to represent himself under the scheduling regime in place at that time. They further concluded that the scheduling accommodations necessary to allow Milosevic to represent himself without gravely endangering his health would significantly delay the progress of the trial.14
7. After reviewing the medical evidence and considering its experience with the trial to that point, the Trial Chamber ruled at a hearing on 2 September 2004 that counsel would be assigned to Milosevic notwithstanding his strenuous objections.15 As explained in its subsequent written decision, the Trial Chamber found that
the risk to the health, and indeed the life, of the Accused and the prospects that the trial would continue to be severely disrupted [are] so great as to be likely to undermine the integrity of the trial process. There [is] a real danger that this trial might last for an unreasonably long time or, worse yet, might not be concluded should the Accused continue to represent himself without the assistance of counsel. In the face of these circumstances, it would [be] irresponsible to allow the Accused to continue to represent himself. No court, mindful of its duty to ensure a fair and expeditious trial and its inherent responsibility to preserve the integrity of its proceedings, could countenance this....
In light of the history of the case and the conclusions that the Trial Chamber had reached, the Chamber [is] of the opinion that it was necessary to relieve the Accused of the burden of conducting his own case with a view to stabilising his health to ensure, so far as possible, that the trial proceeds with the minimum of interruption in a way that will permit the orderly presentation of the Accused's case and the completion of the trial within a reasonable time in his interests and the interests of justice: in other words, to secure for the Accused a fair and expeditious trial.16
The next day, the Trial Chamber issued an order specifying the working arrangement between Milosevic and Assigned Counsel. That order stated:
(1) It is the duty of court assigned counsel to determine how to present the case for the Accused, and in particular it is their duty to:
(a) represent the Accused by preparing and examining those witnesses court assigned counsel deem it appropriate to call;
(b) make all submissions on fact and law that they deem it appropriate to make;
(c) seek from the Trial Chamber such orders as they consider necessary to enable them to present the Accused's case properly, including the issuance of subpoenas;
(d) discuss with the Accused the conduct of the case, endeavour to obtain his instructions thereon and take account of views expressed by the Accused, while retaining the right to determine what course to follow; and
(e) act throughout in the best interests of the Accused;
(2) The Accused may, with the leave of the Trial Chamber, continue to participate actively in the conduct of his case, including, where appropriate, examining witnesses, following examination by court assigned counsel;
(3) The Accused has the right, at any time, to make a reasonable request to the Trial Chamber to consider allowing him to appoint counsel; and
(4) Court assigned counsel is authorised to seek from the Trial Chamber such further orders as they deem necessary to enable them to conduct the case for the Accused.17
The Trial Chamber thus contemplated the possibility of allowing Milosevic to continue "active[] participat[ion] along with counsel in the preparation and presentation of his case," even to the extent of "giving evidence, examining and re-examining witnesses as permitted by the Chamber, selecting and submitting documentary evidence, and making final submissions on the evidence."18 However, his participation would be secondary to that of Assigned Counsel and strictly contingent on the discretionary permission of the Trial Chamber in any given instance.
8. Upon Assigned Counsel's motion, the Trial Chamber certified an interlocutory appeal of its decision to impose counsel.19 Applying Rule 73(B) of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Trial Chamber reasoned that the assignment of counsel could significantly affect the fair and expeditious conduct of the proceedings or outcome of the trial, and that an immediate resolution of Milosevic's challenge would materially advance the proceedings.20 This appeal followed swiftly on the heels of certification.
9. As the Appeals Chamber has previously noted, a Trial Chamber exercises its discretion in "many different situations – such as when imposing sentence, in determining whether provisional release should be granted, in relation to the admissibility of some types of evidence, in evaluating evidence, and (more frequently) in deciding points of practice or procedure."21 A Trial Chamber's assignment of counsel fits squarely within this last category of decisions. It draws on the Trial Chamber's organic familiarity with the day-to-day conduct of the parties and practical demands of the case, and requires a complex balancing of intangibles in crafting a case-specific order to properly regulate a highly variable set of trial proceedings. The Appeals Chamber therefore reviews the Trial Chamber's decision only to the extent of determining whether it properly exercised its discretion in imposing counsel on Milosevic.
10. In reviewing this exercise of discretion, the question is not whether the Appeals Chamber agrees with the Trial Chamber's conclusion, but rather "whether the Trial Chamber has correctly exercised its discretion in reaching that decision."22 In order to challenge a discretionary decision, appellants must demonstrate that "the Trial Chamber misdirected itself either as to the principle to be applied or as to the law which is relevant to the exercise of the discretion," or that the Trial Chamber "[gave] weight to extraneous or irrelevant considerations,... failed to give weight or sufficient weight to relevant considerations, or... made an error as to the facts upon which it has exercised its discretion," or that the Trial Chamber's decision was "so unreasonable or plainly unjust that the Appeals Chamber is able to infer that the Trial Chamber must have failed to exercise its discretion properly."23 In practice, this array of factors boils down to the following simple algorithm: a Trial Chamber's exercise of discretion will be overturned if the challenged decision was (1) based on an incorrect interpretation of governing law; (2) based on a patently incorrect conclusion of fact; or (3) so unfair or unreasonable as to constitute an abuse of the Trial Chamber's discretion. Absent an error of law or a clearly erroneous factual finding, then, the scope of appellate review is quite limited: even if the Appeals Chamber does not believe that counsel should have been imposed on Milosevic, the decision below will stand unless it was so unreasonable as to force the conclusion that the Trial Chamber failed to exercise its discretion judiciously.
11. Both the Trial Chamber and the Prosecutor recognize that defendants have a presumptive right to represent themselves before the Tribunal. It is not hard to see why. Article 21 of the ICTY Statute, which tracks Article 14 of the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights,24 recognizes that a defendant is entitled to a basic set of "minimum guarantees, in full equality," including the right "to defend himself in person or through legal assistance of his own choosing."25 This is a straightforward proposition: given the text's binary opposition between representation "through legal assistance" and representation "in person," the Appeals Chamber sees no reasonable way to interpret Article 21 except as a guarantee of the right to self-representation. Nor should this right be taken lightly. The drafters of the Statute clearly viewed the right to self-representation as an indispensable cornerstone of justice, placing it on a structural par with defendants' right to remain silent,26 to confront the witnesses against them,27 to a speedy trial,28 and even to demand a court-appointed attorney if they cannot afford one themselves.29 In the words of the United States Supreme Court in Faretta v. California, which was recognized by the Trial Chamber as the classic statement of the right to self-representation,30 an "unwanted counsel 'represents' the defendant only through a tenuous and unacceptable legal fiction," such that "counsel [becomes] not an assistant, but a master."31 Defendants before this Tribunal, then, have the presumptive right to represent themselves notwithstanding a Trial Chamber's judgment that they would be better off if represented by counsel.
12. While this right to self-representation is indisputable, jurisdictions around the world recognize that it is not categorically inviolable. In Faretta itself, the United States Supreme Court noted that, since "[t]he right of self-representation is not a license to abuse the dignity of the courtroom," a trial judge "may terminate self-representation by a defendant who deliberately engages in serious and obstructionist misconduct."32 Recognizing this same basic contingency of the right, England,33 Scotland,34 Canada,35 New Zealand,36 and Australia37 have all developed the principle that, in order to protect vulnerable witnesses from trauma, courts may severely restrict the right of defendants to represent themselves in sexual assault trials. Scotland goes so far as to forbid such defendants from conducting any portion of their defenses in person.38 And while this Appellate Chamber has not previously passed on the question, existing precedent from contemporary war crimes tribunals is unanimous in concluding that the right to self-representation "is a qualified and not an absolute right."39
13. Recognizing that a defendant's right to represent himself is subject to some limitations, however, does not resolve this case. It must further be decided whether the right may be curtailed on the grounds that a defendant's self-representation is substantially and persistently obstructing the proper and expeditious conduct of his trial. The Appeals Chamber believes that, under the appropriate circumstances, the Trial Chamber may restrict the right on those grounds. It is particularly instructive in this regard to consider the parallel statutory right of an accused before the Tribunal "to be tried in his [own] presence"40 – a right that is found in the very same clause of the ICTY Statute as the right to self-representation. Notwithstanding the express enunciation of this right in the Statute, Rule 80(B) of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence allows a Trial Chamber to "order the removal of an accused from the courtroom and continue the proceedings in the absence of the accused if the accused has persisted in disruptive conduct." If a defendant's right to be present for his trial – which, to reiterate, is listed in the same string of rights and indeed in the same clause as the right to self-representation – may thus be restricted on the basis of substantial trial disruption, the Appeals Chamber sees no reason to treat the right to self -representation any differently.
14. Defense counsel objects that "the appointment of counsel to an accused who is engaging in deliberate misconduct... is quite distinct from the situation where an accused would be allowed to continue [representing himself] but for a finding of medical unfitness."41 But it cannot be that the only kind of disruption legitimately cognizable by a Trial Chamber is the intentional variety. How should the Tribunal treat a defendant whose health, while good enough to engage in the ordinary and non-strenuous activities of everyday life, is not sufficiently robust to withstand all the rigors of trial work – the late nights, the stressful cross-examinations, the courtroom confrontations – unless the hearing schedule is reduced to one day a week, or even one day a month?42 Must the Trial Chamber be forced to choose between setting that defendant free and allowing the case to grind to an effective halt? In the Appeals Chamber's view, to ask that question is to answer it.43
15. The only remaining question is whether the Trial Chamber properly exercised its discretion in this particular instance. As to the preliminary issue of the bare decision to assign counsel, the Appeals Chamber cannot conclude – although the question is close – that the Trial Chamber abused its discretion in doing so. Milosevic's representation of himself required the Trial Chamber to adjourn the proceedings repeatedly throughout the presentation of the Prosecution's case, and delayed the start of the Defense case by nearly three months. The doctors who examined Milosevic in July each concluded that, given his condition at the time, Milosevic was not fit to continue defending himself.44 And it was within the Trial Chamber's discretion to conclude that any concerns about Assigned Counsel's ability to represent Milosevic properly (whether because of Milosevic's refusal to cooperate or because of witnesses' refusal to testify)45 were speculative at that time. There was a legitimate basis, in other words, for the Trial Chamber's conclusion that the trial "might last for an unreasonably long time, or worse yet, might not be concluded" if Milosevic were allowed to continue representing himself. Given that finding, it was within the Trial Chamber's discretion to assign counsel to Milosevic notwithstanding his opposition. 46
16. The Appeals Chamber parts ways with the Trial Chamber, however, in its assessment of the Order on Modalities.47 In spelling out the future working relationship between Milosevic and Assigned Counsel, the Order sharply restricts Milosevic's ability to participate in the conduct of his case in any way. The Order makes his ability to participate at all contingent on a case-by-case, discretionary decision by the Trial Chamber.48 It implies that he would only occasionally – "where appropriate" – be permitted to examine witnesses.49 And it indicates that, even where he is permitted to examine a witness, he may do so only after Assigned Counsel had already completed their examination. In every way, then, the Order relegates Milosevic to a visibly second-tier role in the trial.
17. These sharp restrictions, unfortunately, were grounded on a fundamental error of law: the Trial Chamber failed to recognize that any restrictions on Milosevic's right to represent himself must be limited to the minimum extent necessary to protect the Tribunal's interest in assuring a reasonably expeditious trial. When reviewing restrictions on fundamental rights such as this one, many jurisdictions are guided by some variant of a basic proportionality principle: any restriction of a fundamental right must be in service of "a sufficiently important objective," and must "impair the right... no more than is necessary to accomplish the objective."50 Similarly, while the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights allows some restriction of certain civil rights where "necessary to protect national security, public order (ordre public), public health or morals, or the rights and freedoms of others,"51 the United Nations Human Rights Committee has observed that any such restrictions "must conform to the principle of proportionality;... they must be the least intrusive instrument amongst those which might achieve the desired result; and they must be proportionate to the interest to be protected."52 And the ICTY itself has been guided by a "general principle of proportionality" in assessing defendants' suitability for provisional release, noting that a restriction on the fundamental right to liberty is acceptable only when it is "(1) suitable, (2) necessary and when (3) its degree and scope remain in a reasonable relationship to the envisaged target."53
18. The Appeals Chamber considers that a proportionality principle of this sort was clearly called for here. The excessiveness of the Trial Chamber's restrictions is apparent for at least three reasons: (1) the medical reports relied on by the Trial Chamber explicitly rejected the notion that Milosevic's condition is permanent ;54 (2) there was no evidence that Milosevic had suffered from any health problems since late July; and (3) Milosevic made a vigorous two-day opening statement without interruption or apparent difficulty. Despite these indications of possible improvement in Milosevic's condition, however, the Trial Chamber failed to impose a carefully calibrated set of restrictions on Milosevic's trial participation. Given the need for proper respect of a right as fundamental as this one, this failure was an improper exercise of the trial court's discretion.55
19. In light of the foregoing discussion, the Appeals Chamber affirms the Trial Chamber's imposition of defense counsel, but reverses its Order on Modalities. On remand, the Trial Chamber should craft a working regime that minimizes the practical impact of the formal assignment of counsel, except to the extent required by the interests of justice. At a minimum, this regime must be rooted in the default presumption that, when he is physically capable of doing so, Milosevic will take the lead in presenting his case – choosing which witnesses to present, questioning those witnesses before Assigned Counsel has an opportunity to do so, arguing any proper motions he desires to present to the court, giving a closing statement when the defense rests, and making the basic strategic decisions about the presentation of his defense. But this presumption is just that: a presumption. Under the current circumstances, where Milosevic is sufficiently well to present a vigorous, two-day opening statement, it was an abuse of discretion to curtail his participation in the trial so dramatically on the grounds of poor health. The Appeals Chamber can hardly anticipate, however, the myriad health-related difficulties that may arise in the future, or use this occasion to calibrate an appropriate set of responses to every possible eventuality. It is therefore left to the wise discretion of the Trial Chamber to steer a careful course between allowing Milosevic to exercise his fundamental right of self-representation and safeguarding the Tribunal's basic interest in a reasonably expeditious resolution of the cases before it.
20. The Appeals Chamber stresses the following point: in practice, if all goes well, the trial should continue much as it did when Milosevic was healthy. To a lay observer, who will see Milosevic playing the principal courtroom role at the hearings, the difference may well be imperceptible. If Milosevic's health problems resurface with sufficient gravity, however, the presence of Assigned Counsel will enable the trial to continue even if Milosevic is temporarily unable to participate. The precise point at which that reshuffling of trial roles should occur will be up to the Trial Chamber.
21. The decision below is affirmed in part and reversed in part, and the case is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this decision. The Trial Chamber may grant orders to enhance the proceedings as and when necessary.

42 We reject Assigned Counsel's contention that Milosevic's inability to represent himself necessarily rendered him unfit to stand trial at all. Trial litigation is an extraordinarily demanding profession. It cannot be that only those defendants capable of meeting its demands are formally fit to stand trial.
43 See generally Savage v. Estelle, 924 F.2d 1459 (9th Cir. 1990) (United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ) (holding that defendant who suffered from an incapacitating stutter did not have the right to represent himself); Johnson v. State, 17 P.3d 1008 (Nev. 2001 ) (Nevada Supreme Court, United States) (finding that right to self-representation was properly denied where expert testimony indicated that defendant's fragile mental state "might well succumb to the added stress of self-representation and deteriorate to the point where it would become necessary to continuously disrupt the proceedings to monitor his 'present' mental abilities and competence"). Cf. State v. Christian , 657 N.W.2d 186, 200 (Minn. 2003) (Minnesota Supreme Court, United States) (recognizing that even "unintentional[]" disruption of a trial by a defendant's can serve as a basis for denying self-representation).
45 See Amici Curiae Submissions in Response to the Trial Chamber's "Further Order on Future Conduct of the Trial Concerning Assignment of Defence Counsel" Dated 7 August 2004, 13 August 2004, para. 16.
46 We reject Assigned Counsel's contention that it was improper for the Trial Chamber to deny Milosevic's leave to obtain his own medical report before counsel was assigned. We need not reach the substance of this challenge, since we find that it was waived at the trial level. Milosevic waited to make this request until 1 September 2004, despite the fact that it had been clear since early July 2004 that the Trial Chamber was investigating Milosevic's health at least in part because it doubted his ability to continue representing himself. With respect, we find implausible Assigned Counsel's suggestion that " it had not crossed Milosevic's mind that counsel [might] be imposed on him" until September 1. Appeal Against the Trial Chamber's Decision on Assignment of Defence Counsel, para. 84.
47 We are unconvinced by the Prosecution's contention that the propriety of this Order is not fairly encompassed within the question certified for review. See Prosecution Motion to Strike Ground of Appeal (3) from Assigned Counsel "Appeal Against the Trial Chamber's Decision on Assignment of Defence Counsel," 5 October 2004. The Trial Chamber's decision to assign counsel cannot be understood without reference to its explanation of what, practically speaking, that assignment entails; indeed, the Reasons for Assigning Counsel itself reproduces all relevant portions of the Order on Modalities.

Federal Election Comm'n, 540 U.S. 93 (2003 ) (United States Supreme Court) (finding that a campaign finance law must not restrict the right to free speech substantially more than the extent necessary to advance the state's interest in preventing electoral corruption); Chassagnou v.

55 The Prosecution proposes that we uphold the entirety of the Trial Chamber's order on alternate grounds: specifically, that Milosevic practiced a premeditated policy of deliberate obstructionism by engaging in disruptive courtroom behavior as well as by sabotaging his medication regimen to artificially induce periods of poor health. While intentional obstructionism of this kind, in principle, might well justify the imposition of counsel on an unwilling defendant, the Trial Chamber explicitly declined to make any factual findings on this score. Opinion Assigning Counsel, para. 67. It is rarely appropriate for an Appeals Chamber to make the first assessment of complicated, fact-intensive evidence on an interlocutory appeal (particularly as to evidence that turns in part on an in personam assessment of the intangibles of courtroom demeanor), and we decline to do so here. | {

20th Century Pub pubs
The Monckton, Portsmouth: a pub built under fire
Post date 6th December 2020
4 Comments on The Monckton, Portsmouth: a pub built under fire
Something unusual happened in 1942: a new pub came into being. That's right – not an inter-war pub, or post-war, but one built right in the thick of it.
When we wrote 20th Century Pub back in 2015-17, we included a chapter on the wartime pub because it felt important. Other chapters were about new developments and new types of pub coming into being; this was about recording a void, or pause.
Pubs weren't built or opened during World War II, they were destroyed. Even if there had been a will to build, there was a shortage of manpower and building materials.
Of course there were odd exceptions: pubs whose construction was underway before the war, completed just over the line; and temporary pubs in shacks, sheds and stables which appeared later on.
But the Monckton in Portsmouth is, we think, the first example we've come across of a somewhat substantial, somewhat solid pub actually being built during World War II.
We say 'somewhat' because, well, look at it. A single storey, raw brick, no embellishments and windows like those of a pillbox. If you told us it was converted from an air-raid shelter, we wouldn't doubt it.
Here's what Philip Eley and R.C. Riley have to say in their excellent 1991 monograph on the Portsmouth pubs between 1900 and 1950:
[It employed] a beerhouse licence transferred from the Dockyard Tavern, Marlborough Row (which had been enveloped by the Dockyard extension)… The site had been bought by United Breweries in 1911, and remarkably, in the light of the ersatz nature of the ultimate construction, the first application for a licence in 1928 was backed by a design from [important local architect A.E.] Cogswell himself. Four subsequent unsuccessful applications between 1929 and 1939 can hardly have presaged what was arguably Portsmouth's most distinctive drinking house until its closure in 1982.
The picture above, sourced from the same booklet, was taken in 1946 so this was clearly the pub in its finished state, not under construction as suggested here.
That page at closedpubs.co.uk includes another picture of the pub, though, prettied up in the post-war period, with rendering, whitewash and some cute external adornments.
Copnor Road in 1972 with The Monckton in the background, via The News, Portsmouth.
Like many make-do-and-mend pubs of the 1940s and early 1950s, The Monckton survived longer than might have been expected, still trading into the 1980s.
What isn't immediately obvious is why construction of this pub was authorised during a time of restrictions.
"Bet this was controversial," we said to ourselves and it didn't take long to find evidence that, yes, it was, in the form of a letter to the Portsmouth Evening News published on 13 February 1942:
Sir – On Sunday night I listened to Sir Stafford Cripps giving his very interesting and informative talk on Russia's mighty effort to win the war. During this talk every listener was more or less asked, by Sir Stafford, to search his or her conscience as to whether they were engaged on or doing 100 per cent, work and thought, to bring about the same conclusion… I always feel that it is not fair to judge a nation's effort by one own city or locality. There would, however, appear to something wrong in Portsmouth when I notice this afternoon a new public-house being built on Copnor Road. Surely the men engaged in this contract, and the materials being used, could be put to our war effort, at this critical time? I know the answer will be "a licence was granted," but what right had that particular public servant to grant such a licence? He was given his present position to control the building industry and direct its use to the war effort, not to evade the Government Order (Restricting New Buildings) by issuing permits. It appears to that we want quite a number of men in key positions who can say and definitely mean it.
Our guess, pending further research, is that it was a question of morale.
Portsmouth lost 73 pubs to enemy action during 1940-41 and Eley and Riley reckon more than a hundred had been destroyed by February 1942.
Perhaps sparing a few bricks for the construction of a basic two-room pub felt worth it.

US Embassy in Islamabad breaks silence over media reports of resumption of direct flights with Pakistan
ISLAMABAD - US Embassy in Islamabad breaks silence over media reports of resumption of direct flights with Pakistan.
The United States Embassy in Islamabad on Tuesday said there were "no imminent plans" for starting direct flights between Pakistan and the US.
According to a press release from the embassy, officials from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) — the US government agency that oversees airport and air carrier security — will visit Islamabad airport, view Pakistan's aviation security infrastructure, and meet with their Pakistani civil aviation counterparts this week.
However, the statement goes on to add "there are no imminent plans for direct flights between Pakistan and the United States."
According to the press release, TSA officials were in Pakistan as part of the US Mission to Pakistan's ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties and air connectivity between the United States and Pakistan.
TSA Attaché Daniel McQuaid was quoted in the press release as saying:
"Secure international air travel is essential to facilitate trade and connections and fostering stronger bonds between the United States and Pakistan.
"We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority as we explore additional areas of cooperation and the possibility of capacity development."
Reports in local media had earlier suggested link that the TSA team's visit was linked to the commencement of direct flights between the US and Pakistan. | {

I have asked my tutor and he was able to run my code locally on his computer without any issue. The problem he said is not in the code, I double checked the ENV var and it seems correct to me as well. I am unable to get any real solution to this and the learning has come to an abrupt halt for last 3 days.
Not sure what I can do to resolve this. Would appreciate any suggestions from the community.
A: I downgraded my mongoose to version 5.11.10 which was what the tutor had installed and it worked. Figured that the latest version was causing this error.
EDIT: Benny has resolved the issue.

Kane Brown talks about his collaboration with Khalid at the ACM Awards Larry McCormack, [email protected]
Kane Brown's performance on the 54th ACM Awards will bring a couple of firsts for the singer and his friends. Brown's performance of his current radio single, "Good as You," marks the first time the singer has been able to perform on the show with his whole band. And, his rather secretive collaboration with Khalid is the first time the nontraditional R&B artist has been on the show or played for a country music crowd.
"I know Khalid is excited," Brown said. "I told him he was going to be swarmed by other artists so be ready for it."
Both Georgia natives, their friendship began when they met at the American Music Awards. When Khalid wrote his song "Saturday Nights," he said he wrote it as a country song. He said knew before it was released that he wanted to put Brown on the remix.

"I'm so happy he hopped on the remix and I get the chance because many artists don't get to cross over like this, so it's super awesome," Khalid told the Academy of Country Music. "It's super awesome. Everybody is being extremely nice to me so I'm so stoked."
As for "Good As You," Brown said he wrote it for his wife, Katelyn, when they were getting married.

Why Ariana Grande was dubbed the Billboard record? (Part 2)
Posted on August 1, 2020 August 10, 2020 by Becky Thompson
"Billboard family record" with achievements hard to overcome
In 2018, Ariana Grande surpassed many famous seniors like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift to win the Woman of the Year by Billboard magazine. This title is based on the achievements that the female singer born in 1993 made in music.
Billboard Magazine has recorded Ariana Grande as the artist holding the top three positions on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, since the similar achievement of the band The Beatles in 1964. The singer earned this achievement. thanks to 3 songs Thank U, Next; 7 Rings; Break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored.
Ariana Grande is considered a flexible singer with a high voice, resonance, comparable to Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston.
In addition, Ariana Grande is also a female artist with many songs appearing at the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time (11 songs on the album Thank U, Next ), beating the achievement of 9 songs that Cardi B had previously made. there with the album Invasion of Privacy. This achievement helped her to be on par with Beyoncé to become the only two female artists in history to have all the songs in an album and also appeared on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2020, with an impressive collaboration with Lady Gaga in the song Rain On M e , Ariana Grange became the first artist to debut 2 No.1 songs in less than a year ( Rain On Me and Stuck With U ). Before Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey was the only female artist to make this historic achievement with two songs, Fantasy and One Sweet Day in 1995.
Thus, during 3 consecutive years from 2018 to 2020, Ariana Grande has brought her 4 debut songs to No. 1, opening with hit Thank U, Next until the latest comeback is Rain On Me . Collecting impressive achievements at a young age, it is not difficult to understand when Ariana Grande was dubbed the "Billboard record". In the future, fans hope that the female singer will shine even more, continue to impress with the impressive numbers in the music when she returns to the new product.

The constitution: not just a lawyer's last resort
It is not uncommon to hear attorneys who have been dealt facts, which allow only for less than solid legal arguments, resort to fierce defence of "the constitutional rights" of their clients.
Though Jamaica is the source of one of the most important constitutional judgements in the entire Commonwealth, namely the 1975 Privy Council decision of Hinds v R, it can often feel like the true significance of the constitution is unappreciated.
As a result, its use is often relegated to flippant name-dropping without actual legal argument.
A separate, but no less unfortunate result, is the idea that constitutional arguments are only useful in cases which involve challenges to laws prohibiting acts like abortion and buggery.
The constitution should not be seen as limited in its scope of impact, or as dead word. The recent decision of the Full Court in Julian Robinson v. The Attorney General of Jamaica (the NIDS case) is just one example of how deeply consequential a constitutional argument can be. Constitutions have long protected the most intimate and sacrosanct of individual rights. The cases discussed in this article demonstrate, however, that the business environment is also a ripe area for both individual and corporate rights to be protected and/or violated.
The case of J Astaphan & Co (1970) Ltd v Comptroller of Customs of Dominica and Others is one which shows that the constitution cares as much about the fairness of state-to-business relations as it does about state-to-individual relations. In 1991 and 1992, in the island of Dominica, J Astaphan & Co (1970) Ltd — one of the biggest importers in the nation — imported a set of Mitsubishi spare parts. To clear the spare parts at customs, the company was required to present the invoice and other necessary shipping documents. It did not have these documents. Happily (at least it probably seemed so at the time), the Dominican Customs (Control and Management) Act provided that where an importer was unable to provide documents to clear his goods, he could sign a declaration to the 'proper officer' and that officer could estimate the duties to be paid on his goods so that the goods could be cleared. If the importer later received the necessary documents so that the duty could be accurately calculated and he realised that the customs officer had overestimated the duty, he could, within three months, make a claim to the Comptroller of Customs to be refunded the overpayment. After 90 days, however, any overpayment would be the Comptroller's to retain (or at least so the Act said).
The customs officer overestimated the duty on the Mitsubishi spare parts by a not insignificant $81,824.40. However, 90 days elapsed by the time J Astaphan submitted its claim. The Comptroller promptly informed J Astaphan's accountant that the company's claim was dishonoured for being out of time and no money would be refunded. Counsel for J Astaphan went to battle with the constitution as its only useful weapon and J Astaphan won. The court held both that:
The Act unconstitutionally conferred a power of taxation, which is rightfully Parliament's power, on the Executive; and the retention of the excess duty which was paid by J Astaphan was an unconstitutional compulsory acquisition of property.
The Comptroller was ordered to return the excess $81,824.40 to the company.
Constitutional law has also ventured into the realm of the grant of commercial licences, such as in Cable and Wireless (Dominica) Ltd v. Marpin where the Privy Council held that the grant of an exclusive licence could, on its face, represent a breach of the constitutional rights of other companies which provided similar services. In that case, however, the Privy Council did not come to a decision regarding whether the grant of the licence was unconstitutional, but instead remitted the matter to the local courts to determine whether the grant was in the public interest.
The Jamaican Constitution is also quite unique among most of its Commonwealth counterparts. It creates the possibility for any legal person, including companies, to violate the constitutional rights of others. For most of history, and presently in most Commonwealth jurisdictions, the burden to refrain from infringing on the constitutional rights of others was/is borne almost entirely by the Government. The amendment to the Jamaican Constitution in 2011 ushered in a duty on all persons to consider the constitutional implications of their actions before taking them. Persons have already argued that the actions of body corporates violated constitutional protections of freedom of expression and freedom of thought. It does not take a far stretch of the imagination to foresee that challenges may be brought on grounds that corporate actions infringe upon privacy rights, rights to equality, property rights and other such protections under the constitution.
The effect of the provision has been understated, and certainly much less revolutionary than some initially predicted.
However, it may just be that greater awareness of constitutional rights and responsibilities is needed. J Astaphan challenged the retention of its overpayment on customs duty in 1993. By that time, the Act under which the Comptroller of Customs so firmly rejected its claim for a refund was in place for eight years. It is not hard to imagine that several companies may simply have accepted such a rejection and counted it an unavoidable loss. But the constitution — and argument grounded in the protections it affords — is no respecter of time or majority acceptance.
We live in an age far removed from 1993. It is an age when a constitutional judgement was deemed so important that it was broadcast live to a nation. In this age, it is important that both individuals and companies see the constitution not as an afterthought, but as the court has so often deemed it: a living instrument.

Tottenham Hotspur Prospect Rankings - 2013
Tottenham Hotspur Prospect Rankings, #7: Harry Kane
Young striker Harry Kane is number seven on our list. Might he be the answer to Spurs striking woes? Probably not.
By Bryan A.@Bryan_Ashlock Jun 20, 2013, 3:30pm BST
Share All sharing options for: Tottenham Hotspur Prospect Rankings, #7: Harry Kane
Yesterday, my colleague, Ed, waxed eloquent about Shaq Coulthirst and what he could potentially become. Young Shaq is good and has bags of potential, but today's player, Harry Kane, is ready to contribute to the first team right now.
See all the prospect profiles here
Well, aside from being a time-traveling wunderkind, "Hurricane" Harry "Sugar" Kane a.k.a. The man of a thousand nicknames, is a 19, soon to be 20, year-old footballer who plays mostly a second striker. Yes, that's right. Kane, who it seems we have been talking about for the last 10 years, is not even 20. Only a year older than Coulthirst, our number 8 prospect, Kane is much further along in his development. He spent the later part of 2011-12 on loan at Millwall in the Championship, earning the team's young player of the year award in the process. Last season, he went on loan to Norwich, but injuries hindered him greatly and he made only 6 total appearances before returning to Spurs and then subsequently going back to the Championship, this time with Leicester City.
Kane made his professional debut at the age of seventeen while on loan at Leyton Orient in League one. He has since gone on to make 7 appearance in a Tottenham shirt, six of them during the 2011-12 Europa League campaign. During that time Kane scored his first goal for Spurs in 4-0 away victory over Shamrock Rovers in that competition. In his stints at Leyton Orient, Millwall and Leicester Kane has scored 14 goals, most of them while at Millwall. It's not a terribly great return from the youngster given the number of matches he played, but for someone in his role it's not bad.
This summer Kane is with the England U-20 team at the World Cup in Turkey. He has been capped 18 times at various youth levels and has scored 8 goals.
What can he do?
Can, despite his size (6'3" and 185 lbs), is not a line-leading striker. Kane is much more comfortable in the role of second striker or attacking midfielder. His time at Millwall was particularly productive because of the partnership he formed with the more advanced Andy Keough. Kane possesses a good first touch and some decent finishing ability. He's scored some pretty good goals in his professional career and he's still developing.
One good thing about Kane is that despite his size, he's a pretty decent dribbler. Kane is a little gangly and it seems like he's still attempting to gain a bit more mastery over his body control, but in tight spaces the youngster seems to quite well. This is important because in other physical aspects, speed, strength, etc. Kane is pretty average. He's not going to beat many defenders with his quickness and he's not going to just overpower them, so he's going to have to be smart about his positioning and technique.
Kane still needs some time to work out the mental side of the game, but I think all of that really comes from experience at the top level. With his current skills, Kane is capable of playing well in the Championship, but he needs to develop his movement and positioning when away from the ball to really bring his game to the next level. When I've seen Kane he seems to work hard, so that's not a problem, he just needs to channel that effort into making useful run into the right spaces. It's something we see Jermain Defoe still working on, so it shouldn't be too much of a hindrance.
Where can he go?
Kane is ready to play in the Premier League right now. There's no reason that a club like Cardiff, Hull City, or Crystal Palace couldn't use Kane right now. Crystal Palace especially need striking reinforcements and a season-long for Kane would be a big boon to the club. I'd love for the youngster to stay at Tottenham Hotspur, but he's not going to get minutes in the Premier League and this stage in his development playing 6 Europa League games and maybe a couple games in the Carling Cup isn't going to be nearly as useful as a loan stint would be.
In terms of his ceiling, I'm going to try to be more realistic than my colleague who compared Coulthirst to Carlos Tevez. As I said, Kane is a Premier League player right now. His ceiling is probably "capable Premier League striker". You know, that guy that can go out and score 12-15 goals for a mid-table team. Basically, he's Steven Fletcher who has had seven consecutive seasons with at least 11 goals. I know that doesn't wow you, but not every player gets to be Dimitar Berbatov or Francesco Totti, which if I was going to wax eloquent would be who I would compare Kane to.
