According to the report, titled “Onshore Wind Energy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020," the onshore wind energy market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 29.6% between 2014 – 2020.
Currently, Asia Pacific is the major market in the onshore wind energy sector, with China and India spearheading growth in the region. China led the onshore wind energy market, with record installations of 16030 MW in 2013.
In relatively mature markets such as Europe and the US, the growth in onshore wind energy installations has hit a plateau. Europe was once a major centre for onshore wind development. However, the region is still reeling from the economic crisis. It is struggling to maintain its renewable energy subsidy bills.
Germany and the UK accounted for more than 65% of annual installations in Europe in 2013.
Strong strategic targets for capacity additions under the European directive are still in force in the region. Capacity installations are likely to pick up as the economy recovers further.
The US is still one of the leading markets for onshore wind industry; however, the country registered a sudden decline in installations in 2013 due to the withdrawal of production tax credit scheme by the government.
Brazil is expected to be an attractive market for wind power developers in Latin America. The onshore wind energy industries in Argentina and Costa Rica have exhibited promising development.
In addition, the Onshore Wind Energy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020 report provides an in-depth analysis of the market size of wind power in terms of capacity (MW) and revenue. The report provides an overview of the major manufacturers, followed by their financial revenue, business strategies and recent developments. It also offers a comprehensive analysis of companies that deal in onshore wind energy systems.

This column is from The MagPi issue 54. You can download a PDF of the full issue for free, or subscribe to receive the print edition in your mailbox or the digital edition on your tablet. All proceeds from the print and digital editions help the Raspberry Pi Foundation achieve its charitable goals.
When you contemplate the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s educational mission, you might first think of young people learning how to code, how computers work, and how to make things with computers. You might also think of teachers leveraging our free resources and training in order to bring digital making to their students in the classroom. Getting young people excited about computing and digital making is an enormous part of what we’re all about.
Last year we trained over 540 Certified Educators in the UK and USA.
We all know that learning doesn’t only happen in the classroom – it also happens in the home, at libraries, code clubs, museums, Scout troop meetings, and after-school enrichment centres. At the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we acknowledge that and try hard to get young people learning about computer science and digital making in all of these contexts. It’s the reason why many of our Raspberry Pi Certified Educators aren’t necessarily classroom teachers, but also educate in other environments.
Even though inspiring and educating young people in and out of the classroom is a huge part of what we set out to do, our mission doesn’t limit us to only the young. Learning can happen at any age and, of course, we love to see kids and adults using Raspberry Pi computers and our learning resources. Although our priority is educating young people, we know that we have a strong community of adults who make, learn, and experiment with Raspberry Pi.
I consider myself among this community of lifelong learners. Ever since I first tried Raspberry Pi in 2012, I’ve learned so much with this affordable computer by making things with it. I may not have set out to learn more about programming and algorithms, but I learned them as a by-product of trying to create an interesting project that required them. This goes beyond computing, too. For instance, I needed to give myself a quick maths refresher when working on my Dynamic Bike Headlight project. I had to get the speed of my bike in miles per hour, knowing the radius of the wheel and the revolutions per minute from a sensor. I suspect that – like me – a lot of adults out there using Raspberry Pi for their home and work projects are learning a lot along the way.
Even if you’re following a tutorial to build a retro arcade machine, set up a home server, or create a magic mirror, then you’re learning. There are tons of great tutorials out there that don’t just tell you what to type in, but also explain what you’re doing and why you’re doing it at each step along the way. Hopefully, it also leaves room for a maker to experiment and learn.
Many people also learn with Raspberry Pi when they use it as a platform for experimental computing. This experimentation can come from personal curiosity or from a professional need.
They may want to set up a sandbox to test out things such as networking, servers, cluster computing, or containers. Raspberry Pi makes a good platform for this because of its affordability and its universality. In other words, Raspberry Pis have become so common in the world that there’s usually someone out there who has at least attempted to figure out how to do what you want with it.
A Raspberry Pi is used in an interactive museum exhibit, and kept on display for visitors to better understand the inner workings of what they’re seeing.
To take it back to the young people, it’s critical to show them that we, as adults, aren’t always teachers. Sometimes we’re learning right beside them. Sometimes we’re even learning from them. Show them that learning doesn’t stop after they graduate. We must show young people that none of us stops learning.
I am reminded of a quote from a Terry Pratchett, ‘Well i’ll live and learn’, ‘some of use prefer to do it the other way around’, please don’t fault me for the correctness of the quote! | 2019-04-21T17:36:10 | https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/lifelong-learning/ |
What is extremism and how best can we protect ourselves, our freedoms and our society from it?
This consultation closed on Thursday, 31 January 2019.
We’re here to help you to have your say on these vital issues.
Last year, the Government established a Commission for Countering Extremism which was tasked with defining ‘extremism’ and proposing responses to it. Now the Commission wants to hear from you about extremism in England and Wales.
For a number of years, the Government has been trying to present and pass laws to counter extremism. But this has been fraught with difficulty, not least because of the challenges around a workable definition of extremism itself. Under its lead commissioner, Sara Khan, the Commission for Countering Extremism has been seeking to gather evidence that could resolve this issue.
We fully support moves to tackle radicalisation and terrorism, but the Evangelical Alliance has raised serious concerns around the Government’s suggested counter-extremism policy. We believe that a vague definition of extremism could be used to undermine some of the very freedoms the Government should seeking to protect, especially those freedom of thought, expression and speech. We are concerned that poorly considered legislation could have far reaching repercussions, and may even be used against those who hold conservative religious views or opinions which differ from current social norms, even if they do not incite violence.
Our public policy team will be responding to this consultation, but this is also your opportunity to give your views on defining extremism, who the victims of extremism are, and how we can best respond.
We have selected some of the key questions in the consultation, and offered suggestions to help you think about your answers.
Please respond in your own words. Visit this https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/extremism-in-england-and-wales-call-for-evidence) and click “Respond Online”.
1) Can you describe extremism?
Violence, crime and terrorism are covered by numerous specific criminal offences. However, “extremism” can be stretched to cover non-violent beliefs, and so is a much more subjective and vague concept. Anyone can accuse anyone else of being an extremist.
In a 2017 ComRes poll commissioned by the Evangelical Alliance and others, more than half of the public (54 per cent) thought using the word ‘extreme’ is not helpful in social and political discussion.
In addition, in the same survey the public disagreed widely on what could be defined as “extreme”, once violence was removed from the picture. Nearly four in 10 (39 per cent) considered it extreme to believe that climate change is an important global problem made worse by human behaviours. Meanwhile, three out of 10 (30 per cent) thought it was extreme to believe the UK should remain in the EU, whereas 36 per cent said it was extreme to believe the UK should leave.
2) How helpful is the following definition of extremism?
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that he could be seen as an extremist, according to one interpretation of the Government’s definition: https://www.christian.org.uk/news/justin-welby-im-extremist-according-govts-definition/.
The definition does not distinguish between respect for people and respect for their beliefs. It is possible to respect a person but not respect their beliefs.
Defining certain non-violent beliefs as extremist may encourage authoritarian governments around the world to criminalise dissent and minority views. See this article by Jane Kinninmont for examples: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/23/britain-extremism-global-effects. To avoid this, a helpful definition of extremism must surely be clear about what extremism is not, as well as what it is.
5a.) Have you witnessed anything you would regard as extremist happening in your local area, elsewhere in the country or online?
5b.) If you said ‘yes’, what type(s) of extremism have you witnessed? Please select any that apply from the following options that were suggested to us during our engagement and from our ongoing research.
7a.) From the following list, which are the three groups you believe are most at risk of harm caused by extremism?
You may notice as you read the suggested options that questions 5 and 7 exhibit a concerning bias against religious communities, which should be pointed out to the Commission. Question 5b) asks about who is likely to be a perpetrator of extremism, and gives you a list of different religions, as well as other things, which might give rise to extremism. However, when question 7a) lists victims of extremism, it refers to “non-religious people”. But if extremism can mean any disrespect or intolerance towards those of different faiths or beliefs, then surely non-religious people can be as prone to extremism as religious groups. Describing non-religious people as victims but not perpetrators is bound to make some people wonder whether the Commission really does see religious believers as problems not partners in the fight against extremism.
10) Do you think more should be done to counter extremism?
Efforts to counter extremism should focus on existing crimes and on those inciting violence. We should therefore prioritise practical and necessary support for the police, intelligence services and the criminal justice system in investigating these crimes and prosecuting those who commit them.
The debate around counter-extremism has led to great uncertainty among different groups about whether they will be caught up in an overly broad (and distinctly secular) definition of extremism. This has had a chilling effect on civil society – in fact one of our best defences against extremist violence and crime. The Commission should therefore seek to reassure these communities and rebuild trust with them. In particular, the Commission should seek to foster religious literacy and an understanding of deeply held religious views in government and society at all levels.
The best defence against extremist ideas is to ensure that they can be debated freely and criticised publicly. We should therefore prioritise support for freedom of speech as a tool against extremism.
The Commission should take the initiative in speaking up for those in fear of violence because of their religion or belief – you may wish to note especially Sara Khan’s support for offering asylum to Asia Bibi – https://www.eauk.org/news-and-views/religious-freedom-asia-bibi-and-the-home-office.
This question gives you an opportunity to re-emphasise one of the core points you’ve made before (see for example answers to question 10 above).
So if you live in England and Wales, please respond to the consultation by following this link https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/extremism-in-england-and-wales-call-for-evidence, before the deadline on Thursday, 31 January 2019.

Link companions may vary depending on the environment. Generally, in schools, the Link companions are teachers and other school staff.
In some locations, the Link companions may be associated with a particular sector, such as student services.
In the workplace, sometimes the members of the Employee Assistance Program Committee (EAP Committee) are those designated to act as a Link companion. However, the Link companion may be a fellow employee, a human resources staff, or a friend. | 2019-04-26T12:09:04 | http://programmelemaillon.com/en/link-companion/who-are-they |
Cindy Hilsheimer was at a crossroads. After graduating from Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business in 1979, she worked in a variety of financial leadership positions. But upon the birth of her third child, Jon Michael, Hilsheimer questioned whether she’d return to the workforce. But colleagues requested she “take on a project or two,” such as finding a controller or a CFO.
“So I started to organize information, build a database and ultimately unveil—carefully and slowly—this practice,” she says. Today, SC Search Consultants, an executive search firm, has grown to 20 employees and placed more than 600 people while maintaining consistent growth and profitability, Hilsheimer says.
The firm, founded in 1999, works with a range of employers, from closely held businesses to global, publicly traded organizations as well as nonprofits and higher education. About half are based in Central Ohio. Candidate searches can span the globe and employ a research team, an exhaustive database and a trusted network of professionals.
SC’s notable matches include identifying and placing Michael Dalby as president and CEO of the Columbus Chamber as well as CFO Rob McNutt and several directors for Greif.
In addition to her role as managing principal at the firm, Hilsheimer, 54, serves on the boards of the Columbus Metropolitan Library and its foundation, OCLC, the James Foundation, Pelotonia, the New Albany Community Foundation, A Kid Again, and Women & Philanthropy at Ohio State University.
How do you maintain a work-life balance? In addition to Jon Michael, now 18, Cindy and Larry Hilsheimer (president and COO of Nationwide Direct & Customer Solutions) are parents to Lauren, 27, an engineer and attorney, and Kristina, 25, an engineer and health-care consultant.
Who or what has been your biggest inspiration? Hilsheimer names her parents, who “instilled a work ethic and, really, the care and concern for other people”; her children, who “are always striving for excellence in a way that I admire”; as well as Ohioans Jesse Owens and John and Annie Glenn.
What are your goals for the next five years? Beyond a planned fall name change for her firm, Hilsheimer is a believer in flexibility. “Success happens over time, and often, if you’re rigidly following specific goals, you’ll miss opportunities that are standing right in front of you,” she says. | 2019-04-21T14:57:57 | https://www.columbusceo.com/content/stories/2012/05/cindy-hilsheimer.html |

Santiago is the capital city of Chile. It was founded by conquistador Pedro de Valdivia in 1541. By the 16th century, Santiago was inhabited by a few thousand. It was selected capital in 1818.
The city of Santiago was destroyed and built many times. In 1541, the city was attacked by the native forces and let to the Arauco War. The City was again damaged in the War of Independence started in 1810.
After the 18th century, Santiago started to look like a city. During this period, construction took place alongside the Mapocho River. Many civil beautification projects were also started to give this city a modern look. After the colonial rule ended at the beginning of the 19th century, Santiago’s population had only 30,000 inhabitants. City streets were unpaved, there were few schools, and cultural life was not so attractive.
During the early 19th century, the city remained a small town with few buildings. In 1930s, Santiago started transforming into a modern city. Many buildings, bridges, transportation infrastructure, political and cultural growth started in this period.
The development work continued at a slow pace and after two decades, the population of this city grew to 100,000 inhabitants. Telegraph lines and railway network linked the major cities together. Aristocracy spent a huge amount to give the city a wonderful look. They built beautiful houses to spend their winter and summer in this city. An elite society was also created based on the social clubs, operas and pubs. The aristocrats sent their children to Europe for study.
As the city grew in popularity, a major migration started from the other regions. Rapid industrialization led to more employment opportunities for the local inhabitants. The Allende government was elected in 1970. The authorities started to improve the city’s problems and paying attention to the transport, pollution, tourisms, accommodations and congestion.
In the late 20th century, the unprecedented economic growth made the city wonderful and one of the favorite destinations of tourists.
Tourism, geography, culture, sports and natural landscapes have made Santiago a wonderful city. There are a lot of resorts, museums, cultural centers, a zoo, fun parks where a lot of recreational activities are easily available.
The creation of the fine arts museum, ridges over the Mapocho River, theme parks, beaches and grand hotels are among the most notable works in this city.
Santiago is one of the top 20 cities in the world to visit. This rank is based on our travelers' reviews. Please also take the time to rank Santiago or write a Santiago destination review or travel tip to share your opinion.Santiago is one of the "must visit" tourist destinations in the world. This rank is based on what other travelers shared about their experiences in Santiago. | 2019-04-25T00:01:16 | http://www.travelgrove.com/travel-guides/Chile/Santiago-History-c299118.html |
August 24, 2010. 100-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh in Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, Dharma Cloud Temple. The talk occurs during the Retreat for Young People with the theme Truly Alive.
Thay feels alive to me when he begins by saying this is “dharma talk a la carte” and that he’ll invite about ten questions to get them started. He writes the questions on the white board and after about 20-minutes of audience questions, there are significantly more than ten questions. Our Teacher seems to enjoy hearing the questions as he continues to write on the board.
After the bell, we are reminded that all the questions appear to be linked together and if we answer one question then we can answer all the questions. The remain hour is spent hearing about peace, understanding, and compassion. The premise of this discussion is that even if we do get what we need, we still suffer. Examples of this are everywhere.
The question is how can I understand my own suffering. It is the art of listening. You have to train – to practice mindful living – so you can listen to the suffering in yourself. Intention is not good enough.
July 4, 2010. 68-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh in New Hamlet, Plum Village, Full Moon Meditation Hall. The talk was given Vietnamese and is translated into English by Sr. Chan Khong. This is the third in a series on this sutra (Part I, Part II). Sutra Commentary is based on the Chinese Dhammapada, Sutra 36. In this talk we cover lines eight through twelve. The talk was given just before the Summer Opening was to begin and Thay was unable to complete his commentary on the sutra. It is possible that it will be continued in the fall or winter.
To Enjoy the Ultimate. Touching nirvana.
A special video dharma talk given in London, England on August 11, 2010. Thay teaches about the Noble Eightfold Path, and offers a session of questions and answers. | 2019-04-20T16:36:58 | https://tnhaudio.org/2010/08/ |

The Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) is one of the more complex data exchange models currently in use. But according to PIXEL SOFTEK of Bangalore, even AIXM can be easily manipulated with FME. In a recent demonstration for a prospective customer, PIXEL SOFTEK used a simple combination of FME transformers to show how FME can be used to manage some of the intricacies of AIXM datasets.
AIXM is based on the Aeronautical Information Conceptual Model (AICM) – a detailed model that describes all the entities, attributes, relationships and rules associated with providing information about aeronautical entities such as airport runway patterns, airspace and flight procedure legs. One of the issues users face when working with AIXM is joining together several AIXM features to form complete AICM entities. Generating feature geometries can also be a challenge; since AIXM is XML-based, feature geometries are not specified in the dataset.
PIXEL SOFTEK’s demonstration showed how a data transformation workflow created with FME can easily address these challenges. Their example workspace generates both two- and three-dimensional geometries from an AIXM dataset: a polygon representing an airport runway and three-dimensional geometries representing obstacles at the end of the runway. The final results are written to a KML file for display in Google Earth™.
Creating the runway polygon requires five transformers. First, FME’s SubstringExtractor transformer retrieves lat/long coordinate values specifying the runway start and end points, as well as runway width, from AXIM XML user attributes on other runway-related features. After converting these values to decimal degrees using the DecimalDegreesCalculator, the runway start and end points are plotted with a 3DPointReplacer. Next, a PointConnector connects these points to plot the runway centerline. Finally, a Bufferer creates a polygon of the correct width to depict the runway. | 2019-04-24T00:06:10 | https://www.safe.com/blog/2007/12/creating-feature-geometry-from-aixm-data/ |

Why do merfolk always take a shower when they come in from a swim? Wouldn’t they already be clean?
Good Question. Fish secrete a mucous film to help them move through the water. It also protects them from bacterial infections. Merfolk are no different. In fact, Peter wonders why Penelope’s tail isn’t slimy when he picks her up in Chapter 9 of Urban Mermaid. What separates a mermaid’s tail from that of an actual fish is that the mucous does not appear until they hit the water. When they leave the water, it rapidly dries to a fine, somewhat gritty, layer of dust. It is this gritty layer of dust that the merfolk of Colony Island wash off by taking a shower.
Feral merfolk spend most of their time in the water so there is no need to wash the dried mucous film off. This presents something of a problem when ferals decide to have a go at living on land. Getting them to understand what a shower is for and actually using it is a daunting task, to say the least.
Civilised merfolk take regular showers just like the rest of us when they spend time on land.
If you’re new to all this & are wondering just what the heck is going on here, catch up by reading Urban Mermaid. It’s available from Amazon for both print & Kindel. You can save time by using the links n the sidebar to the right. Happy Reading.
Ironically, the Tench Fish (Tinca tinca) is one of the slimiest ones out there. Keep in mind that ‘Tench’ is simply a family name and does not imply any genetic relationship to the Tench Fish.
This is the first time Peter has ever really handled her while she was ‘entailed’. Peter does touch Penelope’s tail upon her request to do so in Chapter 2. However, it is merely to confirm that these are actual scales and not part of some kind of costume.
The mucous film feels more like waterproof sunscreen than anything else. It does not, however, convey any protection from the sun.
Shower fixtures in Feraltown homes have a sort of governor built in that permits the water to run for up to nine minutes. After that, the water shuts off and ferals must wait 9 minutes before the governor resets itself. Without the governor, there would be sky-high water bills in Feraltown. | 2019-04-25T03:10:59 | http://colonyisland.com/why-do-merfolk-always-take-a-shower-when-they-come-in-from-a-swim/ |
You may need to set aside some extra time if you use Metro's Green or Yellow line.
Train service was suspended on parts of the Green and Yellow line for a short time Monday morning due to late-clearing track work, Metro said on Twitter.
Trains on the Yellow Line shared a track from Pentagon City to Mt. Vernon Square for about an hour, but they are no longer single-tracking, according to Metro. On the Green Line, trains are no longer single-tracking from Navy Yard to Mt. Vernon Square.

Charlotte, NC - Teguar’s new TP-3485 Series combines powerful processing, configurability, and connectivity into lightweight, durable, industrial-grade housings. The series is available in two screen sizes, 12.1” and 15”, both of which have 1024 x 768 pixel resolution and a display ratio of 4:3, which is ideal for many software applications used in the industry.
These PCs are built for tough environments. The fanless design protects internal parts from dust or debris that is often present in manufacturing environments and can cause the computer to fail. The fanless cooling system also allows this PC to operate silently. The rugged aluminum enclosure is complimented by an IP65 rated front bezel. An optional rear cover is available to enhance the aesthetics at all angles for public kiosk and POS applications.
The TP-3485 series is loaded with I/Os including a DC jack, 2x RS-232/422/485, 1 x RS232, 1 x DisplayPort, 2x LAN and 4x USB 3.0 on the bottom of the PC. More I/Os are located on the right side for easy access including a mic-in and line-out, an SD card slot, and 2x USB 2.0. These PCs have a 2.5” SATA Drive Bay, an M.2 slot for embedded storage, and are available with up to 8GB of RAM. They have a Quad-core Intel Pentium N4200 CPU (Apollo Lake), which is power-efficient and provides sufficient processing speeds to interface with your ERP system, view sensor data, and run other applications commonly used in industrial settings.
A unique feature of the TP-3485 is its optional internal battery. The battery has the capacity to last for up to 1.5 hours, so you will have plenty of time to save important documents in the case of an unexpected power outage, or you can unplug and move the PC without shutting it down. This PC has a VESA hole pattern on the back, giving it numerous mounting options including arms, walls, columns, and brackets, with the ability to be mounted onto any OEM machine.
The TP-3485 series is durable, configurable, and reliable. You can count on this PC to run vital business applications and keep your workflow running smoothly.

Currently, foreign nationals are required to obtain pre-authorization to travel to Canada by air, and the biometric check on arrival is an extra step to confirm a person seeking admission is really the same pre-screened individual on the travel documents.
“Biometric screening has proven effective in protecting the safety and security of Canadians and the integrity of the immigration system. Systematic fingerprint verification allows border service officers to confirm a traveller’s identity,” said Immigration Department spokesperson Shannon Kerr.
“Biometric screening has also made it easier to identify known criminals at the earliest opportunity in order to prevent them from coming to Canada. It has made it more difficult for others to forge, steal or use another person’s identity to gain access to Canada,” Kerr added.
Since 2013, personal biometric information has been required of tourists, students and foreign workers from 29 countries including Afghanistan, Burma, Congo, Haiti, Sudan and Syria, as well as the Palestinian territories — all places where many refugees originate and the use of fraudulent travel documents is rampant.
In addition, permanent residency applicants from these countries and territory, as well as refugees and overseas refugee resettlement applicants were required to undergo biometric screening. The rule will extend to visitors from Asia, the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas on Dec. 31, when the biometric plan will be fully implemented.
“Expanding the collection and verification of biometrics to more applicants will strengthen immigration and border screening processes by confirming a person’s identity,” said Kerr.
Since the requirement rolled out in 2013, Canada has collected biometric information from 1,066,806 students, foreign workers and tourists, resulting in matches to 760 Canadian criminal records, 1,951 previous asylum claimants and 157,105 previous immigration applicants, said Kerr.
The fingerprints, stored by the RCMP in the “national repository,” are valid for 10 years and must be renewed when they expire.
Visa-exempted nationals coming to Canada as tourists who hold a valid electronic travel authorization from Ottawa.
Children under 14 or applicants over 79.
Foreign nationals travelling to Canada must go to a Canadian visa application centre and pay a fee of $85 per person — or $170 for families — to cover the collection of fingerprints and a photograph. The centre is responsible for transmitting the records to and from the immigration offices.
At airports and land ports of entry, the Canada Border Services Agency will check a visitor’s fingerprints against the record submitted by the visa centre in its database. Automatic fingerprint verification is available at eight major airports: Toronto Pearson, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Pierre Elliott Trudeau in Montreal, and Halifax.
Authorities can deny entry to people with unmatched fingerprints, detain them and send them back.
The biometrics initiative is part of a joint border security information-sharing arrangement with the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.
Both the U.S. and Australia require fingerprints and a photograph from visiting foreign nationals, except Canadians. In the U.K., foreign nationals from outside the European Economic Area have to apply for what’s known as a biometric residence permit, while New Zealand currently requires the biometrics of asylum seekers, refugees applying for resettlement and deportees.
Biometrics are not required of Americans applying for work or study permits and coming to Canada as tourists.
Correction - July 31, 2018: This article was updated from a previous version that said all permanent residency applicants and those seeking asylum within Canada, regardless of their country of origin, are already required to undergo biometric screening. In fact, prior to July 31, permanent residency applicants from 29 countries and one territory, as well as refugees and overseas refugee resettlement applicants were required to undergo biometric screening. | 2019-04-20T22:35:00 | https://www.thestar.com/news/immigration/2018/07/28/travellers-from-europe-middle-east-africa-now-must-provide-fingerprints-when-applying-to-visit-canada.html |
You know where you should be on June 18, 2011: in Elmira, Ontario, for a great time for a great cause and the chance to win big prizes. The Ride for Progeria: read on and see what you are in for.
Progeria, a fatal rapid aging disease that affects children is not a popular one to be heard of, and is the entire reason for the 3rd Annual Ride for Progeria & Benefit Concert. Organizer and motorcycle enthusiast who has won a number of awards this year for her customized Ninja (I.D. Streetfighters, a major sponsor of this ride), Amanda Lynn is ecstatic at the already registered turn out, which surpasses the past years due to weather conditions.
Last year the ride raised close to $3000.00 for The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF), Progeria Research , and a lot of awareness due to the media exposure and the efforts of the riders. Sponsors such as Daytime TV, 105.3 KOOL FM, 95.5 Kincardine, Kincardine News and the Elmira Independent helped spread the news and this year we have 107.5 DAVE FM, 91.5 the beat and Belt Drive Betty joining the media team.
The Progeria Research Foundation was established in 1999 by the parents of a child with Progeria, to fill the intense need for a medical resource for the doctors, patients, and families of those with Progeria, and for funding of Progeria research. Today, PRF is the only non-profit organization in the world that is solely dedicated to finding treatments and the cure for Progeria. PRF has progressed from creation to treatment trials at a phenomenal pace, and it is heroes like Amanda Lynn that make such extraordinary strides possible.
Amanda Lynn is PRF’s current featured volunteer, and was named a PRF Miracle Maker in 2008 and the following years for her continuing support and exposure of Progeria on her website Fytness Fanatik and through this motorcycle event.
Registration is already up and she anticipates a great turn out this year which is set up for June 18, 2011 at Noon.
The participants are asked to gather in the Elmira Tim Hortons parking lot beginning at 11am with the ride departing at 1pm.
The route will take us north through Wellington and Grey County areas with stops along the way for refreshments. The destination is back in Elmira at the Central Tavern where riders will participate in a Show & Shine judged by radio personalities Dave Jutzi and Brian West of 107.5 Dave FM and 91.5 the beat. Settling in for door prizes and the grand prizes for most pledges collected the riders will then have an opportunity to take in a night of live entertainment featuring West Memphis Suicide and The Creekwater Junkies.
The event is supported by a long list of local and motorcycle businesses. Gold Sponsor, Niargara Falls Hilton Hotel has offered a grand prize of a one night stay in their luxurious hotel overlooking the falls, and the G.R.I.P Girls have donated a Blackberry Bold for 2nd prize. There are many other door prizes for the riders that have received pledges, from our various sponsors.
Registration for the ride is $25.00 per rider or $35.00 with passenger. This registration includes the concert ticket option and goody bag with completion certificate. Online registration for the Ride for Progeria, presented by Fytness Fanatik, I.D. Streetfighters and FXR Racing is available at Fytness Fanatik come on out for a BUGS-IN-YOUR-TEETH kinda ride! | 2019-04-20T00:16:32 | https://www.ridersplus.com/ride-for-progeria-2011-press-release/ |

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward, Steve Jobs famously said, “you can only connect them looking backwards.” The same is true of technology and its impact on civilization — thousands of years later, we are able to appreciate the linkage between the products of our mind and the tools we create to further their reach. This is the basic lens of The Sun, The Genome, and The Internet: Tools of Scientific Revolution (public library) by legendary Princeton physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson (father of science historian George Dyson), originally published in 1999. Tool-creation has been indispensable to scientific progress, Dyson argues — and has been since the dawn of techne.
Science originated from the fusion of two old traditions, the tradition of philosophical thinking that began in ancient Greece and the tradition of skilled crafts that began even earlier and flourished in medieval Europe. Philosophy supplied the concepts for science, and skilled crafts provided the tools.
Dyson refutes the idea that scientific revolutions are concept-driven, a stance pioneered by Thomas Kuhn in his controversial 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and later endorsed by other theory-driven scientists. Instead, Dyson argues, the art of tool-creation is its relationship to science.
The human heritage that gave us toolmaking hands and inquisitive brains did not die. In every human culture, the hand and the brain work together to create the style that makes a civilization….
Science will continue to generate unpredictable new ideas and opportunities. And human beings will continue to respond to new ideas and opportunities with new skills and inventions. We remain toolmaking animals, and science will continue to exercise the creativity programmed into our genes.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had just declared victory in the Nevada caucuses when most campaign reporters heard Jeffrey Berman’s voice for the first and only time.
Berman, Sen. Barack Obama’s director of delegate selection, chimed in during a conference call with the media to make an unexpected case: Despite Clinton’s popular vote victory in Nevada and an authoritative Associated Press count giving Clinton the edge in the Nevada delegate count, Obama had actually won the state by the only measure that mattered.
“Obama had a majority in the district that had an odd number of delegates, so he won an extra seat,” Berman told the puzzled press; the Associated Press delegate expert, on the call, promised to revise his count.
Obama’s Nevada delegate victory was widely viewed at the time as a curiosity, an asterisk to Clinton’s win. But in February, as Obama amassed delegates despite losing big states, the shape of the race became clear: The name of the game was delegates.
It was the game Berman and a friend, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, had been playing all along. And as Clinton’s staff scrambled after Super Tuesday to remake her strategy to meet that reality, it began to become clear that Berman had helped build Obama a lead too big to surmount.
“He is the unsung hero of the Obama effort,” said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic consultant who supports Clinton.
The bearded, no-profile 50-year-old lawyer’s central role in Obama’s likely nomination is emblematic of the depth of Obama’s preparation for the 2008 campaign.
Clinton’s delegate chief is the much-heralded, oft-profiled, tough-talking past master of the party’s rules, Harold Ickes. But Ickes had a broad portfolio that included fundraising and politicking, a lobbying and consulting business, and a sideline in bitter infighting — all conducted while Berman was concentrating solely on tasks such as hashing out the details of the mixed Texas primary system and arranging obscure Puerto Rican political deals.
Berman’s counterpart on the staff level in the Clinton campaign, meanwhile, is a former New York State Democratic Party official new to the delegate hunt.
Berman, by contrast, 25 years ago joined the very small fraternity of Democratic operatives steeped in the obscure — and typically unrewarding — subfield of delegate selection. It’s a job description that begins with getting the candidate on the ballot with full delegate slates in 50 states and extends through building a whip operation for a possible floor fight at the convention.
In the middle is the crucial process of setting a campaign’s strategy for amassing the maximum number of delegates — a mind-numbing blend of math and politics that will focus a candidate’s energies on congressional districts in which the math of proportional representation gives him or her a chance to pick up an extra delegate or run up a big margin.
Since Gary Hart and Walter Mondale battled toward the nomination, this particular political skill also has been a waste of time: Democratic contests have been decided early. | 2019-04-22T06:28:37 | https://www.politico.com/story/2008/05/the-obama-campaigns-unsung-hero-010249 |

Hello, I am trying to write an auto-update script for my server that checks if an update is available, and if so uses BERcon to gracefully shut down the server, apply the update with steamcmd, and then restarts the server. I'm having trouble trying to find a reliable source of information for the script to check for updates from. Originally i was using the output of app_info_print in steamcmd to get the current buildid of the game, however no matter what i did, trying to pipe that output in windows always seemed to be incomplete output. Currently the script hits http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetSchemaForGame/v2/?key=readacted for gameVersion, however it did not appear to be updated with the patch last week. Is there an endpoint that I can reliably get current server version from a python script?

George Bernard Shaw described marriage as an institution that brings together two people "under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions. They are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part. Shaw's comment was amusing when he wrote it at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it still makes us smile today, because it pokes fun at the unrealistic expectations that spring from a dearly held cultural ideal—that marriage should be based on intense, profound love and a couple should maintain their ardor until death do them part. But for thousands of years the joke would have fallen flat. For most of history it was inconceivable that people would choose their mates on the basis of something as fragile and irrational as love and then focus all their sexual, intimate, and altruistic desires on the resulting marriage. In fact, many historians, sociologists, and anthropologists used to think romantic love was a recent Western invention.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Three children have drowned off Mexico's southern Pacific coast after an immigrant trafficker's boat capsized amid heavy rains.
The state government of the southern state of Chiapas says the three children were Salvadoran citizens. They were apparently trying to bypass Mexico's stepped-up immigration enforcement along traditional routes by taking a boat.
The three children's father was with them, and managed to survive the accident.
The government said Friday the accident occurred on a stretch of coast near the Guatemala border.

Nice central street undergoing major urban renewal, runs through the middle of the best part of Cheltenham (in my opinion).
Lots of new houses, townhouses. Bernard Street shops nearby (which are lively and offer some great food), especially the Thai and French bakery.
There can be a bit of traffic on Cavanagh Street itself, so try to buy one of the streets that run off it.
A busy street, with a fair bit of hoon behaviour at night at its northern end near Bernard Street. We're kept awake with squealing car tires, burnouts, youths sitting on our fence smoking and chatting, and noisy cars. With friends living on other parts of Cavanagh Street, it is quieter and they have beautiful homes. Just not right where we are!

Current news and updates on SJPII’s SOAR Program as posted by the program director.
In order to ensure that students enrolled in SJPII who have been identified as Gifted, academically advanced, or academically talented have the opportunity to reach their full potential KCFS created the Students of Academic Rigor (SOAR)program, the only one of its kind in the Diocese of Erie schools.
KCFS has adopted a formal, three-step admissions process for SOAR comprised of the following components: Identification, Formal Evaluation, Final Determination.
Parental Request: Any parent who believes their child is gifted or highly talented may request that KCFS provide a multi-disciplinary evaluation to determine if the child is eligible for the program.
Teacher Referral: A teacher may notify administrators and parents that a student’s classroom performance indicates that he or she may be gifted or highly talented.
Test Score Review: SJPII administrators and staff will conduct an annual review of the Stanford Achievement Test scores of every student in grades two through five to determine which students may be gifted or highly talented. Parents will be notified if their child falls into either of those categories.
Once a potential candidate for SOAR has been identified parents will be asked to complete a “Permission to Evaluate” form authorizing KCFS to undertake a multi-disciplinary evaluation of their child. This evaluation will be conducted under a process prescribed by the state of Pennsylvania and will include an evaluation of the student by the KCFS certified school psychologist.
IQ scores are not the sole factor for determining admission to SOAR. Students who score slightly below or above the benchmarks established for the program may be admitted if they demonstrate characteristics such as advanced creativity, exceptional performance in one area of study or specific subject, i.e. Math, or other recognized attributes of gifted or highly talented students.
The BSJPII principal will, after close consultation with the Gifted Program teacher, make the final decision regarding a student’s admission into SOAR. | 2019-04-21T07:08:28 | https://www.kennedycatholicschools.org/soar-program/ |
Is your daily life interrupted by moments of extreme panic or anxiety? Do you find yourself holding back or worrying about the next panic attack or distracting compulsion?
A variety of anxiety disorders and panic disorders can contribute to disruptive feelings of unease or worry. Moments of extreme fear or concern can prevent you from freely enjoying life. Constant obsessions and nagging compulsions are exhausting and can hinder daily productivity and success in school or work. Social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder are common conditions in both teens and adults.
You may find it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of your fears or compulsions, despite the overwhelming nature of the feelings. Dr. Amanda Itzkoff specializes in the diagnosis and supportive treatment of all panic and anxiety conditions, including associated feelings of depression.
Panic attacks bring a sudden wave of extreme worry or fear, as well as physical symptoms of dizziness, nausea, sweating, and a pounding heart. The panic attack usually subsides as suddenly as it occurs, but can leave a sense of worry about when the next wave will come. Dr. Itzkoff provides compassionate, constructive therapy for managing and preventing panic attack symptoms. Psychotherapy and anxiety medication can ease fears of recurrence and provide effective means for controlling chronic fears and worries.
Dr. Itzkoff provides psychotherapy and obsessive compulsive disorder treatment to help patients focus on new behavior patterns and strategies for redirecting obsessive habits or coping behaviors. Many patients benefit from OCD medication combined with therapy to help manage the obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors associated with OCD.
As an expert in trauma-related illness, Dr. Itzkoff provides personalized support for adolescents and adults experiencing the ongoing anxiety and panic symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. | 2019-04-22T22:41:26 | https://psychiatristsnyc.com/conditions-treated/anxiety-disorders/ |
It is my pleasure to meet and work with these students! In social studies, we talk about rules and being a good student. I work with the book, so that students become familiar with textbooks—which is a good skill for them to learn as soon as possible. Furthermore, I have the students use these rules for the real classroom and how they should behave at Er Xin. Lastly, I am teaching test-taking skills, and I am pleased at how Grade 1 is adapting. For now, they're working together on pictures that describe their community.
I am so happy to get to know the Grade 2 students! They are eager to learn and they make some great efforts. We are working on what it means to be a responsible community member. I am also impressed at how well the students are working with reading fluency; Reading fluency is the ability to read as smoothly as possible. My students have done a good job in understanding this, and they're learning more about social studies.
I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Grade 5! I am always so happy that they speak in class. For the first part of class, we have talked about maps. For the second part, we are talking about culture, namely counterculture and how it fits in with mainstream culture. We will continue the discussion about counterculture, and we will watch The Addams Family, a classic movie about counterculture. Moreover, the students will learn more about pragmatics in English. Pragmatics are the uses of language in the right situation. Thanks for your time, and I always look forward to teaching these brilliant learners!
All About Maps With Teacher Betty!
It's my pleasure to work with the Grade 3. We learned a lot of map skills such as map keys and scales. We also learned many concepts from an interesting song. It was easy to remember concepts this way for many of the students.
This week, the grade 4 students in their social studies class learned a little bit about lithics (stone tools). We spent some time reviewing about the quiz they did and right after they finished, we watched a short video about a bonobo making and using a stone tool. The video was to give them an idea about how our early ancestors might have used rocks as tools. I took them up stairs where we have lots of space to do a little demo. I have prepared some rocks for this demo but please, DO NOT try this at home. I showed them the most basic form of tool making that was used by our ancestors millions of years ago. After I showed them an example of how sharp the tool I made could be, I let some students tried out for themselves.
The finished product wasn't perfect because the rocks that I had prepared were not ideal for tool making but nonetheless, the students should have an idea of how hard it is to make stone tools and they should appreciate the difficulties that faced our ancestors long time ago.
Due to the graduation trip, only one grade 6 class had social studies class this week. They learned about the history of World War II and the reasons why the war happened. This lesson should give them some idea about what the world was like 80 years ago and the terror of Nazi Germany and why we should never repeat the mistakes of history. | 2019-04-23T00:58:18 | http://www.erxin.org/news-23416266573533824687/a-week-in-social-studies-with-teacher-trevor |

The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled against the state’s public-worker unions in a major pension-funding case last month, but the trustees of three retirement funds that are a part of the pension system have filed a new legal motion seeking to ensure the workers’ pensions are still made whole.
The filing in Superior Court in Mercer County is not an appeal of the high-court ruling issued on June 9, but represents a different attempt on new legal grounds to secure the funding – and this time with interest.
The trustees are seeking a contract judgment for unpaid debt against the state, the latest development in an ongoing struggle to shore up New Jersey’s chronically underfunded pension system -- something Gov. Chris Christie, a second-term Republican now running for his party’s nomination for president, once said he had remedied.
Instead, the pension system is now at least $40 billion in debt, and a 2011 law Christie enacted to boost funding for worker retirements with increased employee and state pension contributions has been abandoned by the state, even as workers continue to pay more toward their retirement.
The lawsuit filed by the employee unions that made it all the way to the Supreme Court this year sought to enforce a section of the 2011 law, known as Chapter 78, that promised as a contractual right of the employees a specific set of state pension contributions over a seven-year term.
The unions sued the state after Christie said last year that his administration couldn’t afford to live up to its end of the bargain because the economy has not rebounded as fully from the last recession as the governor thought it would when the original deal was struck.
In all, Christie’s budgets over the last two fiscal years have shorted the pension funds by a combined $2.25 billion. The current budget is on track to underfund it by nearly $2 billion more.
The high court’s majority sided with the Christie administration, which said long-term obligations like the state pension contributions are “subject to appropriation” each year as lawmakers work out the budget to ensure revenues and expenditures line up, something required by the state constitution. And another part the constitution says only voters can approve long-term obligations that total more than 1 percent of the state’s annual budget, the Supreme Court’s majority said.
The trustees’ motion, which was filed Friday, accepts that ruling, but asks the Superior Court to issue a judgment against the state to reflect that the overall contractual obligation to the workers spelled out in Chapter 78 must still eventually be met.
The trustees serve on the boards of the Public Employees Retirement System, the Teachers’ Pension and Annuity Fund and the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System, the three largest individual pension funds that make up the broader $80 billion pension system.
“This is a collection action under New Jersey statutes governing each of the Plaintiff Retirement Systems for breach of contract and constructive trust for unpaid contributions owed to the Retirement Systems administered by the Plaintiff Trustees,” according the motion.
“The individual Boards of Trustees bring this action to assure that the State honor its contractual promised deferred wages by reducing that promise to a judgment which can be enforced in the ordinary course, as would be any other contract judgment against the State,” the motion says.
Bennet D. Zurofsky, an attorney for the trustees, said by winning a judgment the pension funds would gain standing as a creditor of the state and would be put in line for repayment.
“That will increase the pressure on the state to come up with the money,” he said.
The state would also owe interest, which could be based on the amount the pension system, which is professionally managed, earned off investments in each fiscal year that the full state payment was not funded in the budget.
The motion also maintains that the Supreme Court erred in totaling up the pension contributions for each fund as one single appropriation because the annual budget provides allocations to each individual fund as separate line items.
That’s important because the state payment into the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System is not bigger than $338 million, which is 1 percent of the current $33.8 billion budget.
Christie, after signing the 2011 reform law, held up the changes hammered out following tough negotiations with Democrats who control the Legislature as a bipartisan model for other states struggling with huge unfunded pension liabilities.
But last year, facing an unexpected $1 billion revenue shortfall, Christie announced he would not be making the full contributions pledged to the state employees for the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years. And earlier this year, Christie called for a new set of proposed employee-benefits changes, including freezing the current pension system and moving into a new retirement plan with features of a 401(k).
In response to the trustees’ new court filing, Christie spokesman Brian Murray yesterday pointed to last month’s Supreme Court ruling and the governor’s call for more reform.
“It is now time to move beyond lawsuits to find a tangible, long-term solution to this problem,” Murray said.
This time around, however, Democratic legislative leaders have not worked with Christie to enact new reforms. Instead, they are at an impasse, with the Democrats focusing on finding ways to get more funding into the pension system, which covers the retirements of an estimated 770,000 current and retired workers. | 2019-04-21T18:10:26 | https://www.njspotlight.com/stories/15/07/27/pension-trustees-take-new-tact-ask-court-to-require-state-to-pay-unpaid-debt/ |

Kirill Kudryavtsev, AFP | In this file photo taken on January 22, 2017 people walk in downtown Astana (now renamed Nursultan), with the Baiterek monument seen in the background.
Kazakhstan's new interim president was sworn in Wednesday following the shock resignation of the country's long-time ruler and in his first official act renamed the capital after his predecessor.
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took office in a pomp-filled ceremony less than 24 hours after Nursultan Nazarbayev, the only leader an independent Kazakhstan had ever known, suddenly announced he was stepping down.
Tokayev immediately proposed changing the name of the Central Asian nation's capital from Astana to Nursultan, or "Sultan of Light" in Kazakh, and parliament approved the change within hours.
The senate also appointed Nazarbayev's eldest daughter Dariga Nazarbayeva as speaker, setting her up as a potential contender to succeed her father.
Tokayev, 65, will serve out the rest of Nazarbayev's mandate until elections due in April next year, though the former president retains significant powers in the country he ruled for nearly three decades.
Tokayev told lawmakers that Nazarbayev had "shown wisdom" by deciding to step down, a rare move in ex-Soviet Central Asia where other leaders have stayed in power until death.
"Yesterday the world witnessed a historic event," Tokayev said, hailing Nazarbayev as a visionary reformer.
"The results of an independent Kazakhstan are there for all to see," Tokayev said.
Nazarbayev changed the capital from Kazakhstan's largest city Almaty to Astana in 1997, transforming it from a minor provincial town into a futuristic city of skyscrapers rising from the steppes.
Its name meant "capital" in Kazakh and there had long been speculation of a renaming after the leader who shaped it.
The city is central to government propaganda highlighting the achievements of Nazarbayev's reign and his journey to build it was recently the subject of a state-funded film, "Leader's Path: Astana".
Nazarbayev will continue to enjoy significant powers thanks to his constitutional status as "Leader of the Nation", life-time position as chief of the security council and head of the ruling Nur Otan party.
Tokayev appeared to be in pole position to take over in the long term until senators voted shortly after his swearing-in to name Nazarbayeva, 55, as their new chief.
She is the most politically prominent of Nazarbayev's three children and has long been mooted as a potential successor.
Kazakhstan's deputy prime minister from 2015 to 2016, Nazarbayeva has significant influence over the media.
This should go some way to reassuring Kazakhstan's major partners including China, the European Union, Russia and the United States that the move will not threaten key relationships.
"In terms of Kazakh language, we cannot say that Tokayev is as comfortable as the first president. This is an important issue in the long term as over 60 percent of the population is Kazakh and this demographic is expanding," Satpayev said.
But Satpayev also said that Tokayev's diplomatic skills had helped him forge a careful career path through an elite prone to clannishness and regionalism.
"He is capable of negotiating between different groups and taking different interests into account. He lacks popular recognition to some extent but he is a heavyweight in the bureaucracy."
The new leader will need to tackle growing discontent over falling living standards after Kazakhstan's economy was hit by the 2014 drop in oil prices and sanctions against Russia, a key trading partner. | 2019-04-18T18:40:23 | https://www.france24.com/en/20190320-kazakhstan-capital-new-president-astana-nursultan |
We'll Know When We Get There: how can you settle?
Via The Frisky, where Amelia quotes the friend who shared the video with her as saying, "How can you watch this and ever, ever settle?"
Am I inspired or frustrated?
Hopefully, we'll see more of this. It should prompt women everywhere to raise their own personal bars. If that happens -- if enough (if not all) women raise the bar -- it will force men to step up.
The women have to lead on this point -- and not settle -- in order to create the kind of shift in male/female relationships that, as this video shows, are possible.
Men follow women. Ergo, women have the power. They need to use is responsibly, and not settle. Of course, there is a flip side to this, but that's a different discussion. | 2019-04-22T02:25:28 | http://wellknowwhenwegetthere.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-can-you-settle.html |

Dear Cheasty,Can you clarify what the “8% rule” means? I’ve heard that it has to do with whether you pay a tax if you don’t buy health insurance, but I’m not sure how it works.
No problem! I’d be happy to help. The 8% rule you’re talking about is part of the Individual Responsibility Provision (aka the “individual mandate”).
The Affordable Care Act is called just that – AFFORDABLE – because not only is it trying to make sure we get close to universal health coverage in this country, but it’s also trying to make sure that people can afford the cost of health care.
So the health reform law has this 8% rule. Let’s say it is 2014, and you are uninsured, but employed. You go to the Health Insurance Exchange and look up what plans are available and what subsidies you qualify for. Keep in mind that there are different cost-sharing structures at different levels of coverage – for example, you can buy a platinum plan that covers 90% of your health care costs, gold (80%), silver (70%) or a bronze level plan that only covers 60% of your health care costs.
The way the 8% rule works is this: if the cheapest BRONZE LEVEL plan option would cost more than 8% of your annual household income (i.e. the amount on your tax returns), IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE you are exempt from paying the tax.
Here’s an over-simplified imaginary scenario to help explain it: let's say you bring home $3000 a month, and your employer doesn't provide insurance. The cheapest insurance you can find costs $300/month. This is 10% of what you are earning. If you choose not to buy health insurance, you aren't subject to a tax. If you choose to buy it, you will qualify for subsidized prices on the Exchange.
Now let's say that you earn $3000 a month and you've found a policy that costs $200/month. This is less than 8% of your income. If you do not purchase that insurance, you will have to pay a tax (called the Individual Responsibility Provision) to the federal government. That tax will be considerably less than the cost of insurance (it will be either $700 or 2.5% of your income, whichever is higher), but the goal is that it will act as a deterrent for people to opt out of health insurance. After all, why pay something for nothing, when you could pay a little more and get health insurance?
I hope that clarifies the question of the 8% rule for you, Studying Up. If you have more questions, or need clarification, just ask! | 2019-04-24T06:25:15 | https://covertexasnow.org/posts/2012/08/16/ask-cheasty-will-i-have-to-buy-insurance-if-i-dont-earn-much |
Friday morning and we slept in. Right, who sleeps in when your camping? Rolled out of the sack at 0530 and got the coffee started. We got one of those Coleman Drip Coffeemakers just after we quit camping ten yeas ago and have never used it. You fill it with water, put coffee in the filter, and put it on the camp stove. Home made coffee, camping.
The wife made pancakes and eggs, the pancakes with a recipe from her favorite place (King Arthur Flour in New Hampshire) and I've got to tell you they were the best pancakes I've ever eaten, bar none.
After cleaning up the breakfast dishes, we got into the truck and headed up the road to Upper Blue Lakes. Remember the "sure" with the eye roll of "yeh, right" I got from the campground hosts, I had to make sure I caught fish. My reputation was on the line.
Usual spot, wife in her new camping chair and two lines out with rainbow Power Bait. Got one bite, missed it. Got a second bite and missed it too.
Both bites came over a period of about an hour. I was at the bottom of the Power Bait jar and as it's been in the past, when I get to the bottom, I open a new jar and throw out the old. For some reason the bottom part of the jar just doesn't get any hits.
I did just that and cast out. You know that fishing with a slip sinker rig, you cast it out, let it fall to the bottom, and then tighten up the line awaiting a bite. The line hit the water and started sinking. I let out line, more line, and more line and thought "it can't be that deep".
I tightened up the line and low and behold, there was a fish on the end. Must have taken it on the drop. Turned out it was an eleven inch Rainbow.
I was so prepared to catch fish that I didn't have my net, my stringer, or a bucket to put it in. I found a piece of thin rope and used it for a stringer. By this time my wife was getting a bit toasted, but being the trooper she is, she just kept reading her book and didn't say anything.
Second rod out and within minutes, an eleven inch Brown came to hand. I said OK we can go now, I've got two for the campground hosts. I rummaged around in the truck and finally found a gallon plastic ZipLoc bag, put the fish in, and filled it with water. Figured it would hold them until we got back to the campground.
The hosts has them for dinner on Saturday night and pronounced them wonderful. We, on the other hand had meatloaf, zucchini, and mashed potatoes for dinner on Friday. Sat by the fire, read some, and called it a night.
Tomorrow Day 3 and two adventures. Stay tuned.
Haha you sure showed them, mark! Glad you had (or are having?) a good time camping!
You are a man of your word, Mark. Happy to see that you did us fisherman well by meeting the challenge of the hosts. Camp breakfasts, coffee out of an ol' tin cup, and pancakes to get in a fight over. Good feeling.
Your vacation sounds mysteriously like one of your fishing trips with a cuter partner. | 2019-04-25T06:21:21 | http://www.northerncaliforniatrout.com/2013/08/vacation-day-2.html |

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - With the high school football season in the books and all the state champs crowned, WBTV Sports and Football Friday Night announced their final FFN Top 10 and the team of the year on Tuesday night and that squad is Charlotte Christian.
The Knights finished the year 11-0 and won the NCISAA Division 1 State Championship.
Of their 11 victories, 9 came against teams with a .500 or better record including handing Charlotte Catholic their only loss of the season.
Chester finishes the season as the #2 team. The Cyclones started the season unranked and a relative unknown, but they went 15-0 and won the South Carolina AAA State Championship. Their first title since the 1960s.
Charlotte Catholic started the year as the preseason #1 team but suffered their one and only loss of the season in week one to Charlotte Christian. That lost dropped the Cougars out the poll, but they got back in week 8 and finish the year as the #3 team.
The Cougars won the 3A state title this past weekend 17-14 over Jacksonville to claim their 2nd straight state title.
Weddington is another team that started the season unranked but finish the year as the #4 team after going 15-1 and winning the 3AA State Championship. Their only loss of the year was to conference rival Charlotte Catholic.
Shelby rounds out the top 5 as they are #5.
The Golden Lions started the year 1-3 and were written off by many. But they finished the season with a 12 game winning streak and won the 2AA state title Saturday with a dominate victory over North Davidson 42-21.
That’s the Golden Lions 5th title in the last 6 years.
After finishing the season 14-2 and the 4AA state runners up, the Vance Cougars come in at the #6 spot. This was the Cougars' first ever appearance in the title game as the 14 victories are also a single season program record.
On the strength of a 13-1 record, Hunter Huss is the #7 team. That record is the best in program history as the Huskies won a conference title for the 2nd time in the last 3 years.
Hibriten finishes the final FFN Top 10 in the #8 spot. Their only loss of the year was to Shelby in the 2AA Western Regional Final.
The Panthers finished the year 14-1 and won a conference title for the 3rd straight year.
South Pointe started the season with hopes of winning their 5th straight state-- something no program in South Carolina has ever done. The Stallions would fall to Daniel in the 2nd round of the AAAA playoffs 50-49 in overtime on a controversial play late in the game.
The Stallions finished the year 10-2 and won a region title for the 5th straight year.
Myers Park rounds out the final FFN Top 10 of 2018 as they are #10.
The Mustangs had their best season ever as they finished 13-2 and made it to the 4AA Western Regional Final where they lost to Vance. | 2019-04-24T04:26:56 | http://www.wbtv.com/2018/12/19/charlotte-christian-is-ffn-team-year/ |

A lot of folks say they don’t like okra, but the deer at New Moon Farms just south of Loganville love it. They also love green beans, watermelon, cucumbers and sunflowers. And they don’t even wait for the vegetables to grow or the sunflowers to blossom. They just nibble the young plants right down to the ground.
That’s been Mike Moon’s experience this year. About the middle of May, he planted 10 200-foot long rows of okra, each seed dropped in six inches from its neighbor. That’s 2,000 row feet of okra. And no sooner did the plants come up, then the deer came in and ate the tender young seedlings.
The land he’s farming has been in the family since the early 1800s.
Now a firefighter in Loganville, Moon has 13 more years until retirement and is planning to keep farming right up until retirement and beyond. He hopes to pass along at least some of the land to his children.
And he isn’t giving up on okra. In mid-July he prepared to plant okra again, although this time under plastic mulch. He’s growing Clemson spineless green okra, the same variety his grandfather planted when Moon was a young child.
If a farmer keeps his okra picked, he’ll have new pods coming along right up until frost. Picking okra can be an itchy job, although Moon doesn’t find himself bothered by the prickly hairs of the okra plants. His mother and wife don’t have the same immunity, so they use gloves when they’re harvesting.
Fortunately, his customers like okra prepared in many different ways. He sells to restaurants like Graft in Grayson, to local produce stands like Three Peas in a Pod in Loganville and to local residents.
And he takes it to his booth at the Saturday morning Snellville Farmers Market. His new crop should be ready to harvest in early September, if the deer will let the plants grow.

“Let’s not talk about it,” replied the Pope. Oddi said he had already delivered a hundred sermons and speeches on the subject. “I told you not to mention it,” said the Pope.
When recently going through to archives of my husband, Dr. Robert Hickson, with regard to another matter, I happened to find a file on the Fatima debate. In it, there was to be found the famous interview which Cardinal Oddi gave, in April of 1990, to the international monthly journal 30 Days. Since the interview is not available on the journal’s own website, I shall quote from the hard copy from my husband’s archive, but here is a link to the same interview, even though this link says that the interview was published by another journal, Il Sabato magazine. I shall present parts of this interview to our readers who might be still in the process of learning more about Fatima, just as I do.
No, on the contrary, I remain very skeptical. I believe I knew John XXIII quite well, since I spent a number of years at his side when he was at the nunciature in Paris. If the Secret had concerned realities consoling for the Church like the conversion of Russia or the religious rebirth of eastern Europe, I believe that he would have brought pressure to bear to make the Secret public.
From the attitude Pope John showed during our conversation, I deduced – but it is only an hypothesis – that the Secret might contain a part that could have a rather unpleasant ring to it. John XXIII had convened the Council with the precise intention of directing the forces of the Church toward the solution of the problems that concern all of humanity, beginning from within. That is, he intended the work to begin with the evangelical perfection pursued by consecrated persons … But we all know that, despite the great merits of the Council, many sad things have also taken place. These sad things are not due to the Council, but they took place in conjunction with the Council. I am thinking, for example, of the number of priests who have abandoned the priesthood: it is said that there have been 80,000. But one only has to recall the anguish with which the Holy Father, Paul VI, in 1968 cried out against the “autodemolition” taking place in the Church [to include the “smoke of Satan” quote].
As we continue to see our historic Catholic Faith attenuated, diminished and undermined by the day – much of it still being done in the name of the “Spirit of the Council” – and often by high-ranking prelates themselves, we cannot stop reflecting upon what Cardinal Oddi’s own well-considered theory about the Third Secret was. The Third Secret – that is, the vision – as we now have seen it putatively fully revealed in 2000, does not explain to us the danger of apostasy, nor the other dangers threatening the Faith.
I myself cannot imagine that Our Lady, in 1917 and afterwards, would not want us to be forewarned about what was to come in the years after 1960, if certain things were not loyally done. May there, pray God, soon be more truth and light to come to us in this important matter, at the end of the 100th Anniversary of the apparitions of Fatima. | 2019-04-21T09:15:11 | https://abyssum.org/2017/11/28/the-things-contained-in-the-third-secret-correspond-to-what-has-been-announced-in-scripture-and-has-been-said-again-and-again-in-many-other-apparitions-conversion-and-penitence-are/ |

Dr. Anthony, author of the Money Magnet, declined an invitation to be part of the international best-selling book “The Secret”. His reasoning was that the formula for the Law of Attraction as described in the book appeared to be missing a major point and there tended to be an over-reliance on some magical formula thinking that required taking no action.
I recently downloaded Dr. Anthony’s new paper “Money Magnet” and in it he mentions something profound. I say profound because most of the time we either glaze over this or miss it completely. We never really “get it”. What he said is “if you want to attract money into your life, you MUST provide others with exceptional value! Think about it… provide others with exceptional value. How many times do we just “do” things and then expect everything to flow to us? | 2019-04-19T14:23:04 | http://innerhealthblog.com/tag/money/ |

CBD for seniors has shown strong promise for age-related health problems with no side effects like prescription medicine.
Today in America, there are over 46 million people who are 65 years of age or older.
According to Mental Health America, over 27% of senior citizens suffer from anxiety disorders. Up to 88% of seniors have chronic pain. These ailments often go undetected or untreated.
Family members want to help their senior loved ones but are at a loss of how.
Common types of chronic pain for seniors include arthritis and joint pain, neuropathy, repetitive strain injury and depression-associated pain.
Statistics show that older adults are less likely than younger adults to be forthcoming about their pain or anxiety. They are also less likely to share their pain with family members.
Getting older is a fact of life, but aches, pains and anxiety don't have to be. CBD for seniors is offering some relief.
Cannabidiol, or CBD oil, is a natural compound found in the hemp plant. Despite its close relation (cousin) to psychoactive cannabis, better known as marijuana, hemp and hemp-derived products don’t make you high.
According to AARP magazine, boomers are fueling the boom in the popularity of CBD.
Although studies are still needed, CBD has shown to reduce inflammation that can can help manage pain. CBD has also been shown to promote bone health, quality of sleep, improve mood and overall quality of life. | 2019-04-19T12:57:09 | https://ordinaryvegan.net/cbd-for-seniors/ |
The trade unions FNV and CNV Vakmensen, Rotterdam container companies and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have concluded labor negotiations on employment within the shipping container industry at the largest seaport in Europe.
The upshot is that job security will be guaranteed until July 1, 2020, to workers who already had an employment contract for an indefinite period by January 1, 2015, and who are covered by a contributor license agreement of the corresponding company.
Furthermore, the Port Senior Fit Scheme will be extended to workers who are over the age of 60. It has also been agreed that the 120 employees of ailing RPS will be offered a customized solution. The companies and the Port Authority have come to mutual agreements on the financing of the measures in an amount ranging from EUR 20 million to 30 million.
Container companies involved in the consultations are ECT, APM Terminals, RWG, Matrans, ILS and Unilash. Leaders of the trade unions will present the outcome of the negotiations to their members with favorable advice. Due to the summer holiday period, however, it will probably take until the second half of August to complete the consultation process with all union members.
The recommendation for ratification comes almost six months after workers at the container terminals initiated a 24-hour strike in January when an ultimatum given employers in the container sector and the Port of Rotterdam Authority expired. Since then two things have essentially changed. The most important change is that a customized solution has been found for the 120 employees of RPS who perform agency work, especially for container companies.
RPS is heading for bankruptcy and is therefore unable to provide its workers job security guarantees. The unions insisted that a solution would be presented for the employees of RPS at the time the job security agreement was concluded. In recent months, an assessment was made of what such a solution would be and what costs it would involve. The Port of Rotterdam Authority and the shareholder of RPS are making funds available to resolve the issue.
It has also become evident that growth in the container industry cannot be taken for granted. Last year the handling of containers in Rotterdam, including reefers transporting frozen food products into and out of Europe, fell by 0.5%. The figures for the past half-year are also negative.
This sheds a different light on the four-year job security guarantee compared to six months ago, according to the Port of Rotterdam. “It is unprecedented that unions and companies have succeeded in coming to this kind of agreement considering that the market is under such pressure,” is said in a recently issued statement.
This also applies to the expansion of the Port Senior Fit Scheme, which now includes all employees who were born between 1952 and 1956. Upon reaching the age of 60, they are now be able to work 60% at a salary of 95%, and receive 100% pension accrual. This allows for a substantial reduction of the working capacity. A condition for the use of the scheme is the obligation to retire at the age of 65.
The container terminals of ECT, APMT and RWG, and the service providers and hiring companies Matrans, ILS and Unilash, employ more than 3,700 people.
The realization of two new, highly automated terminals on Maasvlakte 2 with capacity of 5 million TEU in the past few years has increased concern that the shift of cargo from the existing terminals to the new ones would cause a loss of jobs at terminals on Maasvlakte 1. Estimates suggest that, depending on developments in the sector, this may involve 200 to 800 jobs until 2020. In the same period, several hundred people will also retire.
Meanwhile, more than 500 people are working at the two new terminals. | 2019-04-21T23:59:59 | https://www.frozenfoodsbiz.com/component/cobalt/item/67-warehousing-logistics/1559-port-of-rotterdam-labor-issues-resolution-close-at-hand?Itemid=179 |

Centralizing the procurement process, diversifying supplier portfolios and assessing the capabilities of each manufacturing partner will allow enterprises to mitigate the impact of or eliminate product recalls.
In 1982, 31 million bottles of Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol were recalled, costing the company more than $100 million. An order for the bottles to be returned was incited after seven people around in the Greater Chicago area were killed after consuming tablets laced with potassium cyanide.
Bridgestone/Firestone recalled an estimated 6.5 million tires after Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers equipped with those tires experienced tread separation. Not only did Bridgestone spend $440 million on the ordeal, Ford's bill amounted to a whopping $3 billion, not including the $600 million in lawsuits incited by individuals who either sustained major injuries themselves as a result of the tires or were taking legal action on behalf of deceased relatives.
In 2004, Merck, a pharmaceutical company, recalled arthritis drug Vioxx after research discovered that people who had been taking the drug for at least 18 months were likely to suffer heart attacks and strokes. First, Merck lost $725 million in potential Vioxx sales. Then, three years later, the company paid $4.85 billion in settlements, resolving a whopping 27,000 lawsuits.
As one can see, the human and monetary costs associated with recalls can be quite ugly. From what can be gleaned by these two incidents, purchasing management professionals should not only assess what materials are going into the products they're selling, but how item design can impact customer safety.
Coffee machine manufacturers aren't exempt from request for returns, either. According to IndustryWeek, Keurig Green Mountain is recalling an estimated 7.2 million single-serve hot coffee brewing units due to a previously unnoticed burn risk. Apparently, users have reported being scalded because of a malfunction that causes the machines to spray hot water. The recall requests owners return their Keurig MINI Plus Brewing Systems, model number K10, with serial numbers beginning with 31.
What can be learned from this incident? While the parts used to assemble these machines should have been scrutinized more carefully by designers and procurement specialists, the construction of the units should also come into question. Blueprinting may not be a direct concern of the purchasing department, but it's a phase that should never be taken for granted. | 2019-04-20T03:13:05 | https://www.strategicsourceror.com/2014/12/leveraging-strategic-sourcing-to-reduce.html |

This actually handles bootstrapping (read up the doc on how it does it), which is tricky in EJB modules, since there’s no standard EJB context listener mechanism as there is for web containers. Many app server vendors do have EJB module lifecycle hooks/interfaces you can implement – but obviously they’re proprietary and make your app less portable, so I’d rather avoid them if I can, I still don’t see why this feature isn’t part of the spec… clearly there are use cases, and clearly since there are non-standard implementations, it’s feasible to do and define behavior for.

In last week’s Apparent Horizon, “GateHouse Editorial Flacks for Mass Retailers,” I dissected an editorial, “The benefits of a teen minimum wage,” calling for a subminimum wage for Bay State teenage workers that turned out to have run in over two dozen eastern Mass newspapers owned by news industry behemoth GateHouse Media. Focusing on the article’s masked conservative slant—built, as it was, around a single report by a Koch-funded think tank—I walked readers through the political problems with that position and GateHouse’s support of it.
In this column, I’ll take a look at the structural crisis of media consolidation—and why it makes the GateHouse teen wage editorial even more disturbing than it looked at first glance.
Since the 1980s there have been a number of profound shifts in the economics of the American newspaper industry. One of them was the phenomenon of large companies treating news publications more and more like any other profit center—buying them up in larger and larger numbers, eliminating as many of their full- and part-time staff positions as possible while slashing wages and benefits for those that remained, increasing their use of contractors, and consolidating business operations among outlets in the same geographic area. These groups of newspapers came to be called clusters. Which differed from traditional chains in the physical proximity of their constituent outlets. And made their new owners a great deal of money.
In the interim 30 years, according to the excellent ongoing work of former Knight Ridder editor Ken Doctor in his “Newsonomics” columns for Nieman Journalism Lab and other publications, companies like GateHouse, Tribune Publishing, and Digital First have bought so many papers that those clusters have turned into something new: megaclusters, as they were dubbed by “major newspaper business broker Dirks, Van Essen & Murray.” They function the same way clusters do. But operate over larger geographic areas with ever more daily and weekly newspapers (and specialty publications) under their control. As of 2017, about 50 percent of all local papers in the US were part of a cluster or megacluster.
Those newspapers bear only passing resemblance to their namesakes. Mainly because the wage and staff cuts that began in the 1980s never stopped. To the point where a local paper like the Cambridge Chronicle—in which I first noticed the editorial under discussion—owned by a media giant like GateHouse (and in turn by other companies and investment groups) is now down to one lone staff person.
To really understand the significance of this development, it’s necessary to turn back the clock. Fifty years ago, the Cambridge Chronicle was an independent newsweekly. It had several staffers—including reporters, editors, salespeople, and a production crew. It was the go-to news source for coverage of all issues and happenings in Cambridge, and it was read regularly by most literate city residents, from teenagers to pensioners.
Critically, as an independent newspaper, its editorial positions were also independent. As with commercial newspapers everywhere, this independence was hardly perfect. After all, the Cambridge of 50 years ago—like the Cambridge of today—was a small city of around 100,000 people. The Chronicle relied on ad revenue from local businesses, from city government, and from the two universities that dominated (and still dominate) city life, Harvard and MIT. Many of whose leaders likely knew the paper’s editors personally. If the editorials it published were too pointed against those institutions, ad revenue could easily go down—hurting its bottom line. So the tendency would have been to publish more even-handed editorials than calls to arms.
But for all that, Chronicle editors staked out positions that were inimitably their own. And pretty much every city and town with a population of a few thousand or more in Massachusetts, and across the United States, had at least one paper just like it.
And papers started taking those deals. As for the owners that didn’t… the ones that liked running their own newspaper or small chain and refused to sell… well, over time, they found themselves surrounded by clusters of publications owned by companies like GateHouse. And those companies squeezed them, made doing business more expensive, and cut heavily into their ad revenue. Eventually forcing them to sell for sometimes less generous cash offers. Or risk losing everything.
So it went with the Cambridge Chronicle. Founded in 1846, the Dole family had bought it in the 1930s and merged it with rival Cambridge Sun in 1935. In 1991, they sold the paper to Fidelity Investments. Fidelity spun it off into its Community Newspaper Company division in 1996. That division was sold to the then Boston Herald owner Herald Media in 2001. And the Herald sold it to GateHouse in 2006.
Today, like most GateHouse newspapers, the remnant Chronicle no longer even has an office in Cambridge… the city it covers. Its staffer, Senior Multimedia Journalist Amy Salzman, has to work at a GateHouse office in Lexington and commute to Cambridge to do her reporting. The Chronicle no longer has its own editor. It shares an editor with other GateHouse papers—five per editor apparently being typical at the company these days, according to the local journalism grapevine.
It’s also worth mentioning that the official name of the People’s Republic periodical is Cambridge Chronicle & Tab. Reflecting Fidelty’s 1992 purchase of the Tab Communications Inc. chain of newsweeklies, and the eventual absorption of most of them into other local papers in the same group under GateHouse. Which finally happened in Cambridge with the internal merger of the Cambridge Chronicle and Cambridge Tab in 2012.
The damage done by such media consolidation to American journalism in general, and to Boston-area journalism in particular, has been catastrophic. Not just in terms of the quality of stories produced, but in terms of their quantity. Newspapers like the Chronicle can no longer cover their cities properly. One or two reporters simply cannot be everywhere at once, even assuming regular contributions from very poorly remunerated freelance writers. Meanwhile, the physical size of print newspapers has also been shrinking on cost grounds; so there is literally less space available to run more stories.
This is leading to wealthy cities like Cambridge and Somerville turning into “news deserts” of the type media scholars have come to expect in poor Midwestern and Southern cities that have long since lost most of their news outlets. Although both locales have seen efforts to fill the holes in coverage left by the winnowing of long-established newspapers. Most notably, the online-only Cambridge Day—run continuously by my colleague Marc Levy since 2009, and featuring some archived material dating as far back as 2003.
Worse still, eliminating local independent newspapers and shrinking their megacorp-owned replacements is leading not just to a crisis in journalism, but to a crisis for our democracy. Because the information monoculture bred of newspaper megaclusters eliminates much of the lively public debate on issues of the day that was once the hallmark of American journalism. Without that intellectual ferment, curated by independent editors in ways the current social media circus cannot replace, the local press is reduced to yet another mouthpiece for vast corporations that already have plenty of them. So, here in the Boston area, over 100 newspapers that were once independent and spoke with their own editorial voices are now owned by one company—GateHouse—and therefore can all be ordered to speak with the voice of its wealthy owners. At any moment.
In this context, the dilemma of GateHouse running the same questionable teen wage editorial in roughly 26 of its daily and weekly newspapers around the Boston area can be seen in its proper light. It is an abuse of corporate power. Because it was never made clear that the editorial was written by someone other than the staff of every paper that ran it. And it was definitely never stated that said editorial was run in a large number of other GateHouse publications simultaneously.
No matter who is directly responsible for writing the editorial and publishing it in so many newspapers, GateHouse execs (and the New Media Investment Group Inc. execs that control them, and the Fortress Investment Group LLC execs who control them, and the SoftBank Group Corp. [a Japanese multinational] execs who control them, according to Ken Doctor) are ultimately to blame for creating the conditions that allow for such a breach of the public trust to occur. Whether it was a matter of overworked local editors or reporters grabbing a teen wage piece written by another of their number to fill their editorial holes a couple of weeks ago without either vetting it or coordinating with each other, or those same overworked local editors or reporters running the editorial in tandem with malice aforethought, or company executives ordering them to run it, the end result is the same.
When considered together with the fact that the financial interests of GateHouse and the main statewide lobby group in support of lowering the minimum wage for teens, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, align far too closely for comfort—as I demonstrated in my first column on this situation—it should be obvious that newspaper megaclusters are a bad idea for everyone but their owners… and any corporate or political interest they happen to ally with.
In the 1830s, French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville in his landmark work Democracy in America said that the “power of the newspaper press” must “increase as the social conditions of men become more equal.” What, then, would he make of corporations like GateHouse Media? Whose power is increasing as the social conditions of Americans are now becoming more unequal year by year. And whose willingness to use that power against their own audiences in pursuit of ever greater profit is unraveling the great promise of news media as a bedrock democratic institution that de Tocqueville so presciently identified almost two centuries ago.
Nothing good, I imagine. He might well say that no private entity should be allowed to own so many local news outlets in such close proximity to each other. Which is certainly a point that Americans need to impress upon our elected officials. Who should move to ban this practice at speed. But are currently moving in the opposite deregulatory direction. And will not reverse course. Unless forced to do so by popular movements for what one might call information justice.
So let’s get going on that. | 2019-04-19T17:10:11 | https://digboston.com/why-gatehouses-boston-megacluster-is-a-threat-to-democracy/ |

I have been following the debate regarding your decision to post a letter claiming that vaccines are harmful and read your editorial statement in response to that debate. You stated that you support the right of everyone to share their opinions and made a grand “free speech for all” declaration, however, I think you are confusing the validity of sharing opinions with making false statements.
For example, there has been lots of debate about the expansion of bike lanes in downtown Victoria – there are both pros and cons to this issue and valid points on both sides and therefore, there are various opinions. However, other topics, such as the “flat earth” conspiracy are clearly in violation of every single scientific fact. Would you feel comfortable printing two articles – one supporting the round earth belief and one supporting the flat earth belief – with equal footing? No – because that isn’t responsible reporting.
This is exactly how the Trump presidency has twisted the truth. Even though every single metric proved that there were more people at Obama’s inauguration, their team claimed that it was “their opinion” that more people came to see Trump. That isn’t an opinion – it’s a lie, and when you promote the kind of lies expressed by the anti-vaxxer you published, you aren’t just promoting a lie, you are threatening people’s lives. | 2019-04-21T20:48:52 | https://www.oakbaynews.com/opinion/letter-free-speech-has-its-limits/ |

We are always looking for ways to keep our environmental footprint small. Our Walnut Grove is situated in the Otway Ranges in Victoria, Australia. It is our keen desire to keep the Otway Ranges as ecologically blessed as possible.
Our Walnut Grove was formerly a simple sheep paddock. We have worked hard for over 15 years to transform our farm into a bountiful and beautiful Walnut Grove. As part of this sustainable farming practice we replanted specific zones of the farm with trees native to the Otway Ranges. This was designed to reduce erosion, encourage native birds and wildlife. The design encourages optimal biodiversity in flora and fauna.
Our farming practices are guided by the values of integrity, long term respect for the land and for the people we work with. As we harvest and dry all our walnuts at our farm we take a keen interest in the positive impact we have on the environment.
We are a fully accredited with the Victorian Farmer’s Market Association. We only sell the freshest Quality Australian Walnuts, Walnut Kernel and Artisan Farm Made Products. | 2019-04-18T18:32:06 | https://otwaywalnuts.com.au/?page_id=727 |
Arts on the Lake | Scrapbook - What Is the Artist Thinking?
What Is the Artist Thinking?
Students of Alexander Shundi offered an exhibit where the artist and the viewer engage in dialogue, one with the other.
Have you ever wanted to ask of an artist “What were you thinking?†This unique exhibit offered a chance to engage in dialogue about this question. Artists wrote about their experience in creating an art work by answering a question, and the viewer wrote back at the exhibit to question, comment or suggest. This way the artist and the viewer learned more about the creative process and its impact on others. The artists are all students of Alexander Shundi at Arts on the Lake and range from beginners to professional artists. Many have been in the group for 10 or more years. | 2019-04-24T12:24:35 | http://artsonthelake.org/event.php?ev_id=1568 |

2. MICHAEL PHILLIPS : UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH *↤ Copyright © 1970 by Michael C. Phillips.
My primary purpose here is to provide a complete list of all corrections which Blake made in copies of Poetical Sketches. What is offered are the results of a systematic inspection and collation of the original emended copies of the poems. These findings anticipate a more comprehensive study which will provide detailed descriptions of the individual corrections that are present in each of the eight emended copies with photographs of the corrections in their varying states to complement my discussion. Remarks on the author’s changing attitude toward specific corrections and also an attempt to fix approximate dates to the various copies as to when they were corrected and presented will also be given, together with a discussion which will present new material regarding the printing of the poems. Before listing Blake’s corrections and their frequency of occurrence it will be of interest if a few introductory remarks are begin page 41 | ↑ back to top made regarding Blake’s manner of proceeding with his poems following their return from the printer. I have also chosen to discuss Blake’s attitude toward Poetical Sketches after 1783. The attention that is given here to Blake’s corrections in Poetical Sketches owes much to the textual foundations established by Margaret Ruth Lowery and especially Sir Geoffrey Keynes in their respective studies of the poems. To Sir Geoffrey Keynes and to David V. Erdman I am particularly grateful for advice and opinion given at various stages in my researches.
Poetical Sketches were returned to Blake from the printer in open sheets and probably in an edition of fifty copies as Sir Geoffrey Keynes has surmised.1↤ 1 Blake Studies (London, 1949), p. 25. At the time of printing and periodically thereafter Blake folded the sheets of his poems and hand-stitched them in plain blue-gray paper wrappers; copy B is extant as issued. He then emended his text with care and precision, usually employing what appears to be an India ink and frequently keeping the nib of his pen finely trimmed. During the course of his life Blake’s attitude toward a number of specific corrections changed as the corrections themselves vary in number and kind from copy to copy. For example, only two copies contain the same series of corrections.
J. T. Smith recorded that Poetical Sketches were “given to Blake to sell to friends, or publish, as he might think proper.”2↤ 2 Nollekens and his Times (London, 1828), II, 457; reprinted in Bentley, Blake Records (Oxford, 1969), p. 457. Blake neither sold nor published his poems at any time; at least we have no evidence to suggest the occurrence of either possibility. At the time of Blake’s death there still remained in his possession a number of copies in their open unbound state.3↤ 3 Three copies of Poetical Sketches (G, H and N) in their open unbound state were found by John Linnell in March 1890 in the house of Samuel Palmer; see Blake Studies, p. 36, notes to copy G. This indicates that he must have bound and emended copies at a rate which corresponded with demand, that is, on the occasion when he wished to give a copy of his first poems to a newly-made friend or acquaintance. The suggestion that he only bound and emended a few copies at a time is substantiated by the variation in the number and nature of corrections that are present in the eight emended copies of the poems which have survived.
During the period immediately following the return of the sheets from the printer Blake presented at least three emended copies of his poems to John Flaxman and his wife. Flaxman, of course, was almost certainly instrumental in having Poetical Sketches printed. Dr. William Long and William Hayley both received emended copies of Poetical Sketches (E and S) from Flaxman toward the end of April 1784,4↤ 4 Refer to Flaxman’s letter to Hayley of 26 April 1784 as given in Blake Records and see Bentley’s note (p. 27, n. 3). Flaxman’s presentations in April 1784 could indicate that Poetical Sketches were printed very late in 1783, and perhaps not even returned from the printer until after the first of the year. Of course it would have taken Blake time to bind and then to carefully emend even a few copies in the midst of more pressing commercial tasks. and on 15 May of the same year Mrs. Flaxman presented a third copy (F) which had been emended by Blake. This third copy was almost certainly presented by Mrs. Flaxman to Isaac Reed, a close friend of both Long and Hayley. All three men possessed considerable influence in the literary world of the day, and this could well suggest the Flaxman’s purpose in bringing their attention to Blake’s first literary efforts. Although no evidence exists which would substantiate the presentation of additional copies during the period 1783-84, it would be reasonable to assume that at least a few other copies were presented at the time, probably to the Reverend and Mrs. A. S. Mathew and perhaps to Stothard, Fuseli and Barry.
After the Flaxmans, George Cumberland and Thomas Butts are the earliest of Blake’s friends to whom copies of the poems can be traced. Copy D of Poetical Sketches (uncorrected) bears George Cumberland’s signature on the titlepage. Although the earliest extant letter that was written by Blake to Cumberland is dated 6 December 1795, their friendship evidently began some years before, possibly during the early 1780’s.5↤ 5 Geoffrey Keynes, “Some Uncollected Authors XLIV: George Cumberland 1754-1848,” The Book Collector, 19 (Spring 1970), 31-65. Blake met Thomas Butts during the early 1790’s6↤ 6 Alexander Gilchrist, Life of William Blake, ed. Ruthven Todd (London, 1942), p. 96. and it may have been during the first years of their long association that Blake presented Butts with his emended copy (B) of the poems.
begin page 42 | ↑ back to top Charles Augustus Tulk was born in 1786, three years after the printing of the poems. Tulk was educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, and returned to London in 1805 aged nineteen to read for the bar. It is probable that he did not become acquainted with Blake before 1810, when together with Flaxman he assisted in founding the London society for publishing Swedenborg’s works.7↤ 7 DNB LVII, 303-04. Blake also emended the copy of Poetical Sketches which he presented to Tulk. An emended copy (T) can also be traced to John Linnell, and it is well known that Blake first met Linnell at Rathbone Place in 1818.8↤ 8 Blake Records, pp. 256 ff.
Unpublished entries in his diaries and correspondence disclose that Henry Crabb Robinson owned two copies of Poetical Sketches,9↤ 9 Refer especially to entries and corresponding letters from 16 April 1848 to 24 May 1848; Henry Crabb Robinson MS. Diary, vol. XXI, “December 2, 1846-January 19, 1850,” Dr. Williams’ Library, London. one of which may have been presented to him by the Flaxmans in 1810 and the second by Blake himself shortly after the two men first met at the dinner party that was given by Mrs. Charles Aders in December 1825. I believe one of these two copies to be that which is now in possession of University College London (copy W), which contains corrections and other MS. addenda a few of which are in Blake’s hand. This new knowledge of Crabb Robinson’s ownership of two copies of Poetical Sketches, the consequent implications regarding their availability to Robinson’s circle of friends, and his subsequent presentation of one of these copies to J. J. Garth Wilkinson, who in turn through Henry James, Sr., introduced a number of the poems to American readers for the first time, is the subject of a separate article which should be available shortly.
We also know that Blake showed his first poems to Benjamin Heath Malkin and that with him he evidently discussed several of Poetical Sketches in detail. Their meeting and subsequent discussions probably took place in 1805, but possibly earlier.
We can see that the presentations by Blake of just the copies which can be traced to their original owners are spread almost equally over the four decades of his life that followed the printing of the poems. The variation in corrections from copy to copy supports this and also manifests the care with which Blake reread his first poems at varying intervals during his later life. This clearly reverses the traditional view, which is still widely accepted by critics and scholars alike, that Blake abandoned or lost interest in Poetical Sketches either before or at any time after they were printed.
In the copy which Blake presented to Tulk (C) probably after 1810 there are also only four corrections, but one of these appears in the Tulk copy for the first time. An even greater change in Blake’s attitude toward specific corrections is evident in the copy which can be traced to John Linnell (T). In the Linnell copy there occur six corrections in the author’s hand, but of these four are found for the first time. Indeed, the four corrections that are present in the Linnell copy are not known to exist in any other emended copy. In the University College London copy (W), which I believe to be one of the two copies owned by Henry Crabb Robinson, there occur only four corrections begin page 43 | ↑ back to top in Blake’s hand. As I have already suggested, it is probable that one of Robinson’s two copies was presented to him by the Flaxmans in 1810, and in the light of this probability it is interesting that the four corrections that are present in copy W are identical with those which are to be found in the three emended copies which Blake gave to the Flaxmans in 1783-84 to use for presentations.
The most interesting and perplexing copy is that which is now in possession of the Preston Blake Library (Q). This copy contains ten corrections in Blake’s hand, three of which are unique. I believe this copy to have been emended by Blake toward the end of his life; it may be Robinson’s second copy, given to him by the author as late as 1825 or 1826. Until the original owner of copy Q is traced, however, we shall have to look (with due caution) to the corrections that are present in the Linnell copy (T) for what may be the author’s final judgements. However, the corrections which Blake was consistent and most assured in making will be apparent from the list of corrections that is given below, where their frequency of occurrence is recorded.
In the light of the relatively small number of corrections and the nature of the corrections themselves it may be fairly deduced that Blake was pleased with the printed text and also that the text must have been relatively faithful to his original fair copies. For the poet himself I think that we can also say that his first poems evidently continued to hold a significant place in his esteem, probably as representing an integral and important stage in his own development and in the development of his canon.
The findings that are given below have been obtained by my proceeding in the following manner. The eight extant copies of Poetical Sketches that Blake emended have been located and then carefully examined, either by myself, whenever possible, or by responsible scholars on my behalf. The handwriting of corrections has also been compared with corresponding examples of Blake’s hand present in his surviving manuscripts. If it has not been possible for me to examine a copy then photographs have been requested and the copy has been inspected in facsimile. Questions concerning erasures, inks that have been used and other factors that are not generally clear from a facsimile have then been clarified through correspondence. I should like to acknowledge here my gratitude to those who gave such assistance, particularly Professor D. F. McKenzie, who dealt expertly with the problems presented by copy F in possession of the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, New Zealand.
The following is a list of the eight extant copies of Poetical Sketches which have been emended by Blake. The ordering of these copies follows that of Sir Geoffrey Keynes in his “Census of Copies” published in Blake Studies (1949).

Capital letters following individual corrections refer to the copies cited above in which the correction will be found. Page numbers refer to the 1783 text, line numbers correspond with those of the editions of Erdman, Poetry and Prose (1965) and Keynes, Complete Writings (1966). The descriptions of corrections given below are intended to be of a general nature, and it is to be allowed that the same correction will vary in detail from copy to copy with regard to the manner in which it has been accomplished. I have listed a few corrections present in copies F and W as being Blake’s, as I am convinced of their authenticity. However, it is only correct to state that with regard to the authenticity of these corrections in copies F and W, Sir Geoffrey Keynes remains “unconvinced” (letter to the author, 31 August 1967).
3. “Fair Elenor,” p. 7, 1. 6: the letter “s” in “cheeks” has been scraped away or deleted by pen.
4. “Fair Elenor,” p. 9, 1. 61: “I am” has been scraped away or partially scraped away and “behold” has been hand-lettered by pen in the text in imitation of the type.
5. “Song,” (“Love and harmony combine”), p. 12, 1. 16: the word “her” has been altered by pen to “his,” or deleted and “his” has been written in above the line.
7. “Mad Song,” p. 15, 1. 7: the word “beds” has been deleted by several fine strokes of the pen and the word “birds” has been very neatly penned immediately above the deletion.
8. “An Imitation of Spencer,” p. 24, 1. 14: the letter “s” in “others” has been deleted by several fine strokes of the pen.
The alteration of the full stop to a comma and the insertion of a semi-colon following “stand” have been made very tidily in order to appear like printed type.
12. “King Edward the Third,” p. 29, sc. i: in the italic description of the scene, the words “before / it” have been struck out by pen.
13. “King Edward the Third,” p. 44, sc. iii, 1. 236: the word “her” has been deleted by pen and “his” has been hand-lettered in imitation of the type in the adjacent margin.
14. “King Edward the Third,” p. 46, sc. iii, 1. 292: the word “them” has been deleted by pen and the word “him” has been hand-lettered with pen in imitation of the type near the deletion.
1. “To Spring,” p. 2, 1. 14: it would appear that the word “soft” in “Thy soft kisses” has been deleted by pen, but this could either be a perforation that has become discoloured or a genuine correction which has become discoloured. This correction, if genuine, is unique.
3. “Mad Song,” p. 15, 1. 7: the word “beds” has been deleted by pen and “birds” has been hand-printed by pen above the deletion. Some question still remains as to whether Blake made this correction.
4. “An Imitation of Spencer,” p. 24, 1. 15: the letter “c” of the word “cares” appears to have been altered by a single stroke of the pen to “e” changing the word to “eares.” The very small pen stroke that is involved here appears to have been smudged out.
I should like to note here what remains to be accomplished if a definitive text of Poetical Sketches is to be established. There are at least fourteen copies of the poems which are known to be extant but which it is assumed that they do not contain any corrections by Blake. All of these copies must be carefully inspected again in the unlikely event that they do contain undiscovered corrections by the author or any other contemporary MS notes or markings which could be of interest. I have tried to accomplish these inspections whenever possible, but the location of several “uncorrected” copies is unknown, at least to me. May I suggest that if anyone knows of the present location of an original copy, regardless of how obvious that location may appear to be but given that it differs from the location given in Keynes’ census of 1949, would he please inform me so that arrangements for its inspection and the recording of findings can be made. This information will also greatly assist in bringing Sir Geoffrey Keynes’ “Census of Copies” of 1949 up to date. | 2019-04-20T04:29:01 | http://bq.blakearchive.org/4.2.phillips |

I am not a Marxist, but I place myself resolutely at the left.
When I was engaged in the struggle for my country, I was very young. My horizons were open.
I can say now: all the combatants who participated in the fight for freedom in South America came to Algeria; it's from there that all those who fought left. We trained them, we arranged for the weapons to reach them, we created networks.
