As a 'water cooler' of sorts for this community, we meet some amazing people. Patrick Mahoney has been inspiring his local community to leverage modern excel and shares with us a really useful technique to create a dynamic dimension table using Power Pivot and Power Query.
One of my colleagues and I have been geeking out the last few years over all things Power (Query, Pivot, View, and now BI). We have made slow but eventual progress on getting people we work with to learn and leverage these powerful tools. We finally have some that get the basics, like using unpivot columns routinely in their queries and not overusing calculated columns ("Rows before Co-s", I always say), and have created some common resources for our new local community. I suggested one of these to Rob as a potential PowerPivotPro article, and he said "yes" (how cool is that?).
We all use Date/Calendar tables routinely. And what is a Date table but a flexible table of pre-populated columns (calculated with M and/or DAX) that brings some useful time structure to your model? If you build models from multiple transactional systems that contain either the Employee ID or Logon ID of the person doing the transacting, it is also helpful to have a shared common People Table (flexible and pre-populated columns that brings a useful organizational structure to your model) that your fellow PowerPivoters can use. If you work in IT, perhaps you could make this available as a web service or can connect to the database directly, but most may have a report that can be exported/refreshed monthly that has a list of all employees with those IDs, along with other organization/people details (Employee Name, Supervisor, Department, Job Level, Location, Building, etc.).
Consider the partial potentially familiar example "organization" below.
Although this is not a true org chart (we know each person's immediate "supervisor" only), it is straight forward with the PATH() function to generate a virtual org chart, by adding some calculated columns. The PATH() function in this case iterates through your table building a string showing supervisor/employee relationships all the way up the chain (delimited by the pipe symbol '|'), as shown in the Path column below. From this Path string, we can generate the calculated columns Level1, Level2, and Level3 that show the management names for the Employee in each row that can be used in slicers, visuals, etc. (see below for the DAX expressions).
If a Supervisor's name exactly matched one in the Employee field, we would just use those two fields in the PATH() expression; however, in this case, the Employee ID and Supervisor ID fields must be used. Note that the "supervisor" of the boss (ID=1015) is not in our list of employees, which generates a PATH() error; however, we can fix that with a new calculated column with an IF() statement to have the top person in the organization (usually the CEO, but Author in this example) report to themselves. You could work this correction and PATH() into the same column/expression, but here it is done in two steps/columns.
Now that we have the string of Supervisor IDs in each person's management chain, we need to add more columns to look up the Supervisor Name for each level in the organization, using LOOKUPVALUE() and PATHITEM(). The PATHITEM() picks the ID out at the specified position, and we use LOOKUPVALUE() to find the name for that ID from the Employee column. Here are the DAX expressions for the calculated columns described above.
Since we want this to be a source for multiple data models and files, we need to load the data into a table. If we chose to only load into a data model (Connection Only), the desired data would not be available when we "Get Data" from this workbook. I wasn't sure the calculated columns would be there at first with Load To… Table (vs. just the query columns), but was relieved when they showed up. Now, when you "Get Data" from your People file, your new People Table is available.
Now that we have a People Table, we can use it. Here are the first rows of a fictional fact table showing order status changes from a transactional system that includes an Employee ID column.
When you bring in the People data to a new model, you often won't need the entire long list. For example, the transactional system may only used by a small subset of employees. In these cases, you can use a join in the query to only bring in the People rows that match a Logon/Employee ID in the current dataset (similar to adjusting the range of your Date table for the given dataset). In your People query, just do a Merge with your Transactions query with either an Inner Join or Right Outer Join (shown), and then just remove the Transactions column filled with all those "Table" values you see (we don't need it; remember, we just merged so we could eliminate those extra People Table rows).
Once the People data are in the model as a dimension table, it's all downhill from there. You can use the organization/employee metadata fields (Department, Location, Job Level, etc.) or the calculated columns for each Level (drill down through the organization hierarchy is usually a crowd pleaser). I have been liking the Dot Plot Custom Visual by MAQ Software lately, as you can display lots of information concisely; here is the count of transactions for each employee by Level 3, color coded by Level 2 in the organization.
You can spice up the visualization even more by adding in other dimension tables. For example, if you work on a multi-building campus and your People table includes building numbers, you can also add a dimension table into your model with the GPS coordinates for each building and create map visuals over the campus map. I'm sure we aren't the first to make new friends across the company, trading help with Excel/Power BI for new data for our models. Note: you may need to convince your facilities department that you aren't planning a missile strike or something before they give you the GPS coordinates for each building.
And while you'll usually work with the most recent People file, it comes in handy to keep the past files, too. Security access reviews are a breeze when you can quickly see if people have changed jobs/departments and no longer need access, for example. And you can generate some interesting HR metrics for your company (hires/exits, new to/left a given department, level changes, job changes, supervisor changes, etc.). I got some help on these last measures from the Power BI community to get them right and performant (basically a slowly changing dimension (SCD) exercise on an ever-growing table, which is beyond the scope of this article and has been covered by much better DAXers than me).
I hope the concept of a locally shared People Table is helpful to some of you. Thanks to Rob for letting me be a temporary "pro". And thanks to my powerpivot colleague, Kevin Overstreet, for reviewing this and suggesting the title.
Thank you. This post just re-opened and solved a pending issue for our product table. Perfect timing! I can move into the new year with a clean slate for projects.
Glad it helped. I always like it too when one of these posts addresses something I'm stuck on.
Do you find that finding the path up the levels is better with calculated columns than Power Query? I've done something similar before, but it was all through Power Query with successive joins.
In my case, I am better in DAX than M, but agree there is often a M or DAX solution. We have many levels in our company, so I thought PATH() was simpler as it does it all in one shot. What are the key functions you used in M?
Honestly, it was just joining the table to itself iteratively (once for each level of supervisor we wanted). You basically create two copies of the table, then join one to the other on the person, then join it again on the Supervisor, then join it again on the Level 2, etc. No M needed, just interface.
The M solution works very nicely, and all from the UI is a clean approach.
I'm not sure how many times M will need to "read" the table that it joins into memory. Perhaps it's 1 time per join? Hopefully it can just read it once regardless of the # of times it joins to the other table. If not, you can add a Table.Buffer() step to your code, and that will read the other table just once.
The only reason I mention this is for refresh times against a gateway. If you have a huge employee table, this refresh could take a while, potentially timing out the refresh (current limit is 2 hours).
Calculated column is done AFTER the data pull, and will not count against the 2 hour limit. The expected size of the PATH columns should be relatively small in terms of cardinality, so the extra space from creating in DAX vs M should be minimal.
Great post! I tried this out today. I wonder what other uses there might be for PATH().
PATH() can be a little finicky (conditions must be right in all rows for both columns), but it is pretty unique in what it does. So far, I've only used it for Supervisor/Employee, but it could help in any multi-step hierarchy.
Many thanks Patrick. PowerPivotPro is the go to reference!
This is great. However, when I look at level 2, I get a "(Blank)" value and when I click it, the record ends up being level 1. How do I omit level 1 showing up as blank in level 2? Same thing happens in Level 3, there is a (Blank) value and when clicked "Level 2" names show. I want to omit those records from showing. Many thanks!
Sorry for delay. Glad you are using this approach. The blank rows come from the fact that, for example, the Level2 person you may be filtered on doesn't have a value in the Level3 column that you may be using in your visual. There are at least two ways to address it.
In this case, the Level 2 person data would still show but at least you'd see their name instead of blank.
The other is to filter your visual to not show blanks; however if you are drilling through a Levels hierarchy, you would have to do it for each level. You could also build blank exclusion into your measure by adding a Pathlength() column and in your measure use a variable to find the min Pathlength() (i.e., number of levels for the ranking person shown), and filter where [PathLength] is > min Pathlength. | {

1. I no longer worry about what people think of MY choices.
2. I let go of past actions of my parents. I see them as human beings with flaws like everyone else.
4. I stopped worrying about when I will hit it "big". Like what is that about. I am hitting it "big" now with being able to do what I do!
5. I stopped worrying about failure. Its ALL part of the picture. Some things DON'T work. But the lessons DO!
6. I started to believe in my close friendships and not look for problems. So when a real issue DOES come up, its real and its handled.
7. Worrying doesn't really help you or any situation. You have to work on learning not to worry. For some people its faith in a higher spirit or God, that helps. Others its finding grounded realism that works. Worrying just adds stress and stress can lead to a host of health problems.
My life has become freer and I want yours to be freer too!! | {

Nearly 85 million passengers departed from and arrived at LAX in 2017. Many of those travelers were from other countries and other states and used Lyft rideshare services to get to their ultimate destinations. They also use Lyft to get around town during their stays here in Los Angeles. Most Lyft rides are uneventful, but sometimes the vehicles are involved in accidents. What happens if you're from another country or state, and you're injured in an accident involving a Lyft vehicle?
After seeking medical attention, contact our Los Angeles Lyft Accident Lawyer.
You probably needn't worry about insurance. Lyft's insurance covers its drivers for just about any eventuality. You'll want the accident documented by an accident investigation and police report, so call 911. Ask that an officer be dispatched to the scene. You'll want paramedics there too if you're injured. They'll document your complaints of pain and take you to the nearest emergency room.
Jurisdiction involves the authority of a court to hear controversies and make decisions. Every state in the United States has its own set of courts. If an accident happened in Texas, the Texas courts have jurisdiction to hear the case, and if an accident happened in Minnesota, the Minnesota courts have jurisdiction. Since your accident occurred in California, the California courts would have jurisdiction to hear and decide any personal injury lawsuit that you might file. Venue differs from jurisdiction. Venue deals with which court in the California court system your personal injury case would be heard in. Since your accident and injuries occurred in Los Angeles County, your case would be properly filed in the Los Angeles County court system.
Every state also has its own rules of civil procedure. Los Angeles County has its own local rules too. Some judges even have their own rules for their own courtrooms. The rules of whatever state or country that you're from won't apply in any personal injury lawsuit that you file. Since your accident happened in California, and you're accessing the California courts to have your case heard and decided, the California Code of Civil Procedure governs how your case will work its way through the courts.
Don't rely on your state's statute of limitations as the deadline for filing a personal injury case. Some states like Wisconsin have a three year limitations period. Maine has a six year period. The general rule in California is that any lawsuit for personal injuries suffered in an accident must be filed within two years of the date of the accident. There are few exceptions to this rule. If you fail to file your personal injury lawsuit in California within two years of the date of your accident, it's highly likely that your lawsuit will be dismissed.
You might have an established relationship with a trusted attorney in your hometown. If you're injured in an accident in a city 1,500 miles away though, you're likely to obtain the best result by retaining an experienced and respected personal injury attorney in the city or county where your accident occurred. As opposed to an attorney from Milwaukee or Atlanta, we're far more familiar with California traffic laws, civil procedure and evidence. Insurance adjusters, insurance defense attorneys and Los Angeles County judges know us and respect us. Your attorney in your hometown simply doesn't have those benefits here in Los Angeles.
Contact us right away after being injured in any Lyft or other rideshare accident to arrange for a free case consultation and review. We'll be fully prepared to answer your questions and advise you of your legal options. After you've retained us, we'll be attending to the details of your personal injury case while you're home recovering. | {

La casa delle inquietudini è un'opera d'arte dell'artista Maria Lai. Si trova nel Museo all'aperto Maria Lai di Ulassai.
Si tratta di un intervento estetico sorto su di un edificio preesistente, quest'ultimo nato con lo scopo di ospitare un ristorante e un'attività turistica. L'edificio fu realizzato intorno al 1995 ma già intorno al 2002 cadde in disuso e abbandonato.
L'artista Maria Lai già dal 1993 realizzò un'altra opera affiancata al suddetto edificio La scarpata, e vedendo la struttura inutilizzata decise di realizzare un enorme Murale esterno che potesse far dialogare entrambe le opere.
A livello formale e tecnico, l'opera è un intervento pittorico dai cromatismi verdi, bianchi e neri, ricopre l'intera struttura, e nel suo costante divenire vengono rappresentati esseri mostruosi a forma di draghi e di varani i quali sono legati ad una particolare reinterpretazione di Maria lai del racconto: "Pastorello mattiniero con capretta", composto dallo scrittore Salvatore Cambosu, suo maestro e amico, nel suo libro più celebre "Miele amaro" del 1954.
Gli interventi artistici risalgono al 2004 e vengono realizzati contemporaneamente a quelli del Muro del groviglio, poco più distante dalla Casa delle inquietudini.
Dista 200 metri dalla Grotta di Su Marmuri e una cinquantina circa dalle Cascate di Lecorci.
Ora è sede centrale dell'Ente foreste della Sardegna nel paese di Ulassai.

Moritz lives in Innsbruck and studies physics. If you know him, you definitely know about his connection to nature, which he expressed i.e. by founding an environmental youth organization at the age of 16.
Often, he goes outside in the evening to look for a place to sleep in nature. Usually with a sleeping bag, sometimes he just builds a protecting shelter from nature materials.
His biggest passion, besides climbing, is trekking, several thousand kilometres have been covered by him on hiking tours in numerous countries. He has accomplishes trainings in the wilderness field at wilderness school "Wildniscamps" in the Almtal valley and starts to work as a coach there.
His first tour with Fernwind goes to Norway, into the vastness of the Hardangervidda plateau. | {

Velocity is a Canadian OEM and custom manufacturer of CNC machines, process machinery and industrial motion systems. Velocity builds CNC machines up to 6 axis to our dealers' and distributors' specifications and material handling machines to customer requirements. Our production machines are sold through dealerships and most often carry their brand names. Custom designed machines are developed and built working with you, the customer; we tailor the design to your special requirements. Check with our dealers for our versatile standard machines and if they don't have what you want, we will build it for you. Not just CNC machines but anything where fast precise motion is required. From mills to bottling machines and robotics your requirements can be met and exceeded.
Velocity is young but the experience in it is long. With staff design experience of over 20 years we have experienced what works best and what does not. Experience helps chart the best route to high quality, high production at reasonable cost.
Experience is never static and we don't cling to old ideas. We are continuously incorporating new innovations to achieve greater productivity and user friendliness. Velocity's core philosophy is that the machine works for both the business and the operator. Innovations that improve the ease of use, safety and client's productivity and profitability are always welcome, but we are careful not to add features just for the sake of it. | {

16" OD 0.25" wall preheated to 450° in under a minute. Using our premade blankets makes setup just as fast.
Our induction cables are made from top quality material and specially designed to be flexible and durable. The user is protected from high voltages by cam-locked connections.
Our two-cable system increases the lifetime of the cables. The water cooled inductor cable is made from a yarn-reinforced hose which can be easily wrapped around the workpiece with good cut resistance.
Together, this system allows for quick workpiece setup, allowing your crew to get more done with less downtime.
The Fusion 45 is powered by the Eurothem Nanodac controller. It has a step programmer, 4 thermocouple inputs, data logging, and remote viewing.
The Nanodac also has advanced features like automatic T/C swapping for preheating and chart creation using the free Review software on your PC. | {

Great training opportunities! Paediatric EEG meeting, neuroradiology meeting, weekly educational meeting, weekly Grand Round and lots of opportunities for ward and clinic experience, attracting great GRID trainees to keep us on our toes. We encourage ERASMUS students, vacation students and student selected component (SSC) students to come and join us.
Great vision! The paediatric neurology and neurodisability team is growing – we are building capacity for better access to neurological services and making available the very latest treatments and clinical trials for children in the North East of England.
Great leadership! Paediatric neurologists at GNCH run nationally commissioned services for neuromuscular disease and mitochondrial disorders, represent paediatric neurology and neurodisability on national Commissioning Reference Groups (Neurology and Metabolic) and maintain a highly prominent profile within the British Paediatric Neurology Association.
Great care! Ward 1B has a team of highly skilled nurses, therapists and doctors dedicated to the care and inpatient management of children with neurological conditions.
Great environment! Ward 1B is a state-of-the-art modern ward with 9 cubicles and a 4 bedded bay area equipped with dedicated videotelemetry facilities, sensory room and a rehab robot!
Great networks! Northern Neurodisability Network; PENNEC (for epilepsy) – come to our meetings and see! | {

Menara Landmark Medical Suites Expands Healthcare and Medical Offerings in Johor Bahru
JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia, April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Private medical services have become an attractive alternative in Malaysia as the demand for faster, more customised medical care rises in tandem with affluence and heightened medical knowledge. This demand has given rise to the establishments of medical suites that deliver extensive range of medical and healthcare services promising more personalised attention and care. The latest of such development is Menara Landmark Medical Suites.
Strategically located in Iskandar Malaysia's Flagship A of Johor Bahru City, Menara Landmark Medical Suites comprises four floors in Menara Landmark to provide a spectrum of medical services by highly specialised and well-known practitioners. This includes the Systemic Dialysis Centre led by Dr. Chin Chee Khin, and JB Oncology Centre, where its principal oncologist, Dr. A. Radzi, offers standard and complementary cancer treatment. Other services include Gribbles Pathology (M) Sdn. Bhd., TMC Fertility and Women's Specialist Centre led by Dr. Fabian James Kurian, DMT Physio Sdn. Bhd., Bay Audiology (Malaysia) and well-renowned aesthetics and plastic surgery practice Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre (BWMC), led by Prof. Dato' Dr. David Cheah Sin Hing. In addition to that, Clarity Radiology will also open its doors later this year.
Menara Landmark's Managing Director of Business Development Mr. Tay Hui Fong says, "Our vision is to assemble like-minded medical professionals and create a symbiosis amongst practices. By doing that, we are providing convenience to patients who will benefit from having medical services in one location."
Patients will definitely benefit from the collegiality amongst practitioners at Menara Landmark Medical Suites. Individual practices are able to collaborate, referring patients to practitioners and other medical service providers within the confines of Menara Landmark. Should a doctor require blood work, he merely has to consult Gribbles' pathology laboratory. Practitioners have the option of conducting surgery within the building, thanks to BWMC's state-of-the-art operating theatre manned by professional, dedicated and experienced personnel.
The building also has an ambulance parking bay, more than 600 parking spaces for patients and visitors, 24-hour security and a food court. It is also conveniently connected to DoubleTree by Hilton, giving patients and their family the option of recovery and rest in first-class accommodations.
Menara Landmark Medical Suites is not only giving Malaysians access to the country's best medical minds, it will also accelerate medical-tourism to attract regional and international patients. After all, Malaysia has made a name for itself as "medical travel's best-kept secret." With an emphasis on high-quality medical infrastructure, facilities and multi-lingual personnel from diverse cultural backgrounds, Malaysia provides affordable medical care that rivals Japan, the United States and many countries in Europe.
Menara Landmark Medical Suites is also in line with Iskandar Malaysia's Smart and Healthy Cities and Communities initiatives to ensure the economic region stays connected and with a higher quality of life through utilising and advancing technology.
Within driving distance of two airports — Senai International and Singapore's Changi International just across the Causeway — Menara Landmark Medical Suites is a genuine medical tourism contender.

FDA Advisory Committee Reviews Takeda's Alogliptin EXAMINE Cardiovascular Safety Outcomes Trial
DEERFIELD, Illinois and OSAKA, Japan, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A. Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, ("Takeda") today announced that members of the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee (EMDAC) of the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) convened to review one of the first cardiovascular (CV) outcomes trials (CVOT) in patients with Type 2 diabetes, EXAMINE (EXamination of CArdiovascular OutcoMes: AlogliptIN vs. Standard of CarE in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Acute Coronary Syndrome). The Committee voted that, based on the data presented, the results of EXAMINE demonstrate that the use of alogliptin in patients with Type 2 diabetes has an acceptable CV risk profile. All 16 voting members of the Committee supported this recommendation. In addition, 13 out of 16 Committee members voted that safety information from the EXAMINE study should be added to the alogliptin labeling and the other three members voted for no change to the labeling.
"Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of cardiac related comorbidities such as heart disease and stroke, as well as hospitalized heart failure and cardiac death," said William B. White, MD, Professor, Calhoun Cardiology Center, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S., on behalf of the EXAMINE Steering Committee and Investigators. "Today's Advisory Committee recommendation provides important information about alogliptin that may be useful for prescribing physicians as they consider appropriate treatment options for patients with Type 2 diabetes."
EXAMINE, a large, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled outcomes study, was completed as a result of the U.S. FDA 2008 Guidance, titled "Guidance for Industry: Diabetes Mellitus – Evaluating Cardiovascular Risk in New Antidiabetic Therapies to Treat Type 2 Diabetes," for all Type 2 diabetes treatments under development since the issuance of the guidance. The EXAMINE trial was designed to evaluate CV safety following treatment with alogliptin in addition to standard of care, versus placebo in addition to standard of care, in patients with Type 2 diabetes who were at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) due to recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The trial's primary objective was to evaluate non-inferiority of CV risk based on a primary composite endpoint of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and nonfatal stroke.
"Takeda is pleased with the recommendation of the Committee and we remain confident in alogliptin as an important treatment option for patients living with Type 2 diabetes," said Robert Jackson, MD, MBA, Vice President, Global Medical Head, CVM-Respiratory Therapy, Takeda Pharmaceuticals International. "Today's outcome reinforces that the global EXAMINE trial met the FDA postmarketing guidance requirements. The trial is important as it assesses cardiovascular safety in patients known to be at a high risk for cardiovascular disease."
Patient safety is a top priority for Takeda, and we remain committed to ongoing clinical research to understand and investigate potential safety concerns. Alogliptin has been studied as a monotherapy and in combination with metformin, a sulfonylurea (SU), a thiazolidinedione (TZD), and insulin in a comprehensive global clinical program comprising more than 50 clinical studies involving approximately 1,000 healthy adult patients and more than 17,000 adult patients with Type 2 diabetes.
The FDA also asked the Committee to discuss whether additional alogliptin studies are needed and to make any recommendations regarding the evaluation of the risk-benefit profile for alogliptin. In addition to discussing EXAMINE's pre-specified primary CV outcome data, the Committee discussed other study analyses including heart failure, study data by geographic region, and other data including renal safety findings.
The outcome of the Advisory Committee meeting is non-binding and will be taken into consideration by the FDA.
Alogliptin is the first dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) to report out results on CV safety outcomes in Type 2 diabetes patients who are at high risk due to recent ACS. Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a commonly occurring comorbid condition in patients living with Type 2 diabetes.
About the EXAMINE Trial
EXAMINE randomized 5,380 patients in 49 countries with Type 2 diabetes with an ACS within the previous 15-90 days. The EXAMINE primary endpoint of non-inferiority compared to placebo in addition to standard of care was met, showing no increase in CV risk in a Type 2 diabetes patient population at high risk for CV events based on the primary composite endpoint of CV death, nonfatal MI and nonfatal stroke. The primary endpoint occurred at similar rates in the alogliptin (n=305) and placebo (n=316) groups (in 11.3 percent of patients vs. 11.8 percent of patients during a median follow-up period of 18 months; hazard ratio (HR), 0.96; upper boundary of the one-sided repeated CI, 1.16).
About Alogliptin
Alogliptin is a DPP-4i for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. DPP-4is are designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). As a result, an increased amount of active incretins enables the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby assisting in the management of blood glucose levels.
Alogliptin is approved as a monotherapy and also in fixed-dose combination (FDC) with pioglitazone and metformin HCl for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults as adjuncts to diet and exercise. These therapies are not for treatment of Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Takeda launched alogliptin in Japan in 2010. Since that time alogliptin has been launched in a variety of markets across the globe including the U.S. in 2013, as well as Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom, China, Mexico andSouth Korea. Diabetes prevalence continues to grow worldwide, with more than 382 million people impacted by diabetes. As the disease becomes increasingly prevalent, Takeda remains focused on expanding access of alogliptin, especially in emerging markets like Brazil, India and Russia.
About NESINA, KAZANO and OSENI
NESINA is a DPP-4i for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. DPP-4is slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. As a result, an increased amount of active incretins enables the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby assisting in the management of blood glucose levels.
KAZANO is an FDC therapy which combines alogliptin and metformin HCl in a single tablet for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. Metformin HCl is a biguanide, a widely used anti-diabetes medication that acts primarily by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
OSENI is an FDC therapy which combines alogliptin and pioglitazone in a single tablet, for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. Pioglitazone is a TZD that decreases insulin resistance, a condition in which the body does not efficiently use the insulin it produces to control blood glucose levels, and is approved in adults for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise. An NDA for alogliptin and pioglitazone was approved in July 2011 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, and the therapy is currently available under the brand name LIOVEL in Japan.
Indications for NESINA (alogliptin) 6.25 mg, 12.5 mg, and 25 mg Tablets; KAZANO (alogliptin and metformin HCl) 12.5 mg/500 mg and 12.5 mg/1000 mg Tablets; and OSENI (alogliptin and pioglitazone) 25 mg/15 mg, 25 mg/30 mg, 25 mg/45 mg, 12.5 mg/15 mg, 12.5 mg/30 mg, and 12.5 mg/45 mg Tablets
NESINA, KAZANO, and OSENI are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NESINA, KAZANO, and OSENI are not for treatment of Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
WARNING: CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE—for OSENI
Thiazolidinediones, including pioglitazone, which is a component of OSENI, cause or exacerbate congestive heart failure in some patients. After initiation of OSENI, and after dose increases, monitor patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (e.g., excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema). If heart failure develops, it should be managed according to current standards of care and discontinuation or dose reduction of pioglitazone in OSENI must be considered. OSENI is not recommended in patients with symptomatic heart failure. Initiation of OSENI in patients with established New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure is contraindicated.
WARNING: LACTIC ACIDOSIS—for KAZANO
Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation. The risk increases with conditions such as sepsis, dehydration, excess alcohol intake, hepatic impairment, renal impairment, and acute congestive heart failure. The onset is often subtle, accompanied only by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, increasing somnolence, and nonspecific abdominal distress. Laboratory abnormalities include low pH, increased anion gap, and elevated blood lactate. If acidosis is suspected, KAZANO should be discontinued and the patient hospitalized immediately.
NESINA, KAZANO, and OSENI are contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to any of the components of these products, such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, or severe cutaneous adverse reactions. KAZANO is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment (e.g., serum creatinine levels ≥1.5 mg/dL for men, ≥1.4 mg/dL for women or abnormal creatinine clearance), which may also result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse (shock), acute myocardial infarction, and septicemia. KAZANO is contraindicated in patients with acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not initiate OSENI in patients with established NYHA Class III or IV heart failure.
Warnings and Precautions—for KAZANO
Lactic acidosis: Warn against excessive alcohol intake. KAZANO is not recommended in hepatic impairment and is contraindicated in renal impairment. Ensure normal renal function before initiating and at least annually thereafter. Temporarily discontinue in patients undergoing radiologic studies with intravascular iodinated contrast materials or any surgical procedures necessitating restricted intake of food and fluids. Lactic acidosis due to metformin accumulation during therapy is fatal in approximately 50% of cases. The risk increases in patients with renal impairment, congestive heart failure requiring drug treatment, and with increasing age.
Vitamin B12 deficiency: Metformin may lower Vitamin B12 levels. Monitor hematologic parameters annually.
Warnings and Precautions—for OSENI
Congestive heart failure: Fluid retention may occur and can exacerbate or lead to congestive heart failure. Combination use with insulin and use in congestive heart failure NYHA Class I and II may increase risk. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms.
Edema: Dose-related edema may occur. Use with caution in patients with edema.
Fractures: Increased incidence in female patients. Apply current standards of care for assessing and maintaining bone health.
Bladder cancer: Data suggest an increased risk of bladder cancer in pioglitazone users. Data also suggest that the risk increases with duration of use. Do not use OSENI in patients with active bladder cancer. Use caution when using in patients with a prior history of bladder cancer. Tell patients to promptly report any sign of hematuria or other symptoms such as dysuria or urinary urgency as these may be due to bladder cancer.
Macular edema: Macular edema has been reported in some patients taking pioglitazone. Recommend regular eye exams. Instruct patients to report any visual changes promptly.
Ovulation: Therapy with pioglitazone may result in ovulation in some premenopausal anovulatory women.
Warnings and Precautions—for NESINA, KAZANO, and OSENI
Acute pancreatitis: There have been postmarketing reports of acute pancreatitis. If pancreatitis is suspected, promptly discontinue NESINA, KAZANO, or OSENI.
Hypersensitivity: There have been postmarketing reports of serious hypersensitivity reactions in patients treated with alogliptin such as anaphylaxis, angioedema or severe cutaneous adverse reactions. In such cases, promptly discontinue NESINA, KAZANO, or OSENI, assess for other potential causes, institute appropriate monitoring and treatment, and initiate alternative treatment for diabetes. Use caution in a patient with a history of angioedema with another DPP-4i because it is unknown whether such patients will be predisposed to angioedema.
Hepatic effects: Postmarketing reports of hepatic failure, sometimes fatal. Causality cannot be excluded. Baseline liver test panel is recommended. If liver injury is detected, promptly interrupt NESINA, KAZANO, or OSENI and assess patient for probable cause, then treat cause if possible, to resolution or stabilization. Do not restart NESINA, KAZANO, or OSENI if liver injury is confirmed and no alternate etiology can be found. Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Hypoglycemia: Insulin and insulin secretagogues are known to cause hypoglycemia. A lower dose of the insulin or insulin secretagogue may be required to minimize the risk when used in combination with NESINA, KAZANO, or OSENI.
Macrovascular outcomes: There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with NESINA, KAZANO, OSENI, or any other anti-diabetic drug.
Most common adverse reactions (>4% of patients treated with NESINA 25 mg and more frequently than in patients who received placebo) were nasopharyngitis (4.4%), headache (4.2%), and upper respiratory tract infection (4.2%).
Most common adverse reactions (≥4% of patients treated with co-administration of alogliptin and metformin) were upper respiratory tract infection (8%), nasopharyngitis (6.8%), diarrhea (5.5%), hypertension (5.5%), headache (5.3%), back pain (4.3%), and urinary tract infection (4.2%).
Most common adverse reactions (≥4% of patients treated with co-administration of alogliptin and pioglitazone) were nasopharyngitis (4.9%), back pain (4.2%), and upper respiratory tract infection (4.1%).
Use of OSENI with CYP2C8 strong inhibitors (e.g., gemfibrozil) will, or inducers (e.g., rifampin) may, require dose adjustment.
Cationic drugs eliminated by renal tubular secretion should be used with caution if taken with KAZANO.

Vienna: 2014 Second-Best Congress Year Ever
Vienna reported its second-best congress result ever for 2014: compared to 2013, there were increases in events, as well as in the resulting overnights and value-added, the final result just falling short of 2012's record.
VIENNA, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — "In 2014 Vienna achieved significant increases in all key congress indicators compared to the previous year," reports Norbert Kettner, Director of the Vienna Tourist Board. "The number of conferences and corporate events rose by 6% to 3,582, a new record level. The resulting overnights were also up 6%, so the total of 1,490,695 was only slightly below the previous record in 2012. Austrian value-added induced by Vienna's meetings industry increased 8% to 898.9 million euros, also the second-best figure after 2012." In 2014 the Vienna conference industry therefore contributed 11% to Vienna's total volume of overnights of 13.5 million. 17,000 year-round jobs were secured throughout Austria.
According to the statistics of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), for years now Vienna has been one of the top three congress metropolises worldwide. "This success is attributable to many factors," explains Kettner. "Meetings in the Austrian capital are optimally supported by urban and academic facilities, and with 36 licensed certification agencies for Green Meetings, Vienna has already demonstrated vision with respect to environmental sustainability. The city's growing importance as a central European hub is also proving a valuable asset. New upmarket hotel accommodation and the creation of a new district around the Central Station have provided further impetus. Vienna currently has approximately 64,000 beds and is served by direct flights from about 170 destinations worldwide. The Vienna Tourism Strategy 2020 aims for another 20 direct connections from major cities worldwide – 72% of congress delegates arrive by plane.

New Geological Analysis Greatly Bolsters Probability Tomb of Jesus has Been Found
— Geochemical comparison may prove "James ossuary" likely came from Israeli tomb containing cluster of New Testament names, according to Associated Producers
— Creators of controversial "Lost Tomb of Jesus" say study corroborates findings of the 2007 documentary
JERUSALEM, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — A recently completed study by an Israeli geologist has greatly increased the probability that an ancient tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem is the final resting place of Jesus of Nazareth and his family.
The new findings by Dr. Aryeh Shimron have linked an ossuary, or bone box, inscribed with the phrase "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" by its chemical "fingerprint" to a tomb encased in a rose garden between a group of nondescript apartments in Talpiot, a Jerusalem suburb. The tomb, discovered during construction in 1980, housed a remarkable collection of ossuaries upon which were inscribed several names associated with the family of the New Testament Jesus.
Although the names in the Talpiot Tomb, (which included "Jesus, son of Joseph," "Maria," "Mariamene," "Yose," and others) were common in first-century Jerusalem, a cluster of names associated with Jesus in one location is statistically compelling, and unique in the archeological evidence of his life. If yet another name associated with the New Testament family can now be sited at Talpiot, it becomes a kind of statistical snowball and creates a near-certainty that the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth has been found.
"I think I've got really powerful, virtually unequivocal evidence that the James ossuary spent most of its lifetime, or death time, in the Talpiot Tomb," Shimron told the New York Times.
Dr. Shimron, a 25-year-veteran of the Israeli Geological Survey, believes that an earthquake in A.D. 363 flooded the Talpiot Tomb with a slurry of rendzina soil and mud that left the space "chemically frozen in time." He says that the material embedded a unique geochemical "fingerprint" which, 1,652 years later, can be used for comparative analysis. Shimron tested roughly 100 samples of scrapings and soil from ossuaries, supplied to him by the Israeli Antiquities Authority, from 15 tombs throughout the Jerusalem area, including Talpiot. (In the first century, some affluent families stored the bones of departed family members in tombs carved out of the soft limestone that surrounds Jerusalem.)
Last month, Shimron was granted access to the James ossuary by owner Oded Golan and was finally able to conclude his seven-year study. His findings were remarkable: of the 100 samples, only the nine from the Talpiot Tomb and the James ossuary had matching geochemical profiles, which included magnesium, silicon and iron. A sample from a tomb just 60 meters away from the Talpiot Tomb had a markedly different profile.
Shimron's findings provide a rigorous confirmation of a 2006 geochemical survey of ossuary patinas undertaken by journalist Simcha Jacobovici and noted filmmaker James Cameron and incorporated into the 2007 documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus," which Cameron produced. Relying on the names inscribed on the ossuaries, along with supporting evidence from scholars and the Gospels themselves, the film concludes that the Talpiot Tomb, largely overlooked by Israeli officials, is the tomb of Jesus and his family.
Artifact collector Golan, igniting a debate over its origins and authenticity, first brought the James ossuary to public attention in 2002. In 2004, Golan was arrested and accused of forging the latter part of the inscription on the ossuary: "Brother of Jesus." In 2012, after years of litigation, a Jerusalem district judge found Golan innocent and the ossuary was returned to him — this after Professor Wolfgang Krumbein, an international expert in ancient patina, testified that the entire inscription was authentic. Just how the James ossuary came into Golan's possession remains unclear. If the Shimron study is correct, the ossuary was taken from the Talpiot Tomb at some point, either in recent history or antiquity, and ended up in Golan's personal collection.
Experts say the cluster of New Testament names in the Talpiot Tomb is too remarkable to be a random occurrence or coincidence. In 2007, after extensive analysis of the occurrence of names in ancient Jerusalem, Andrey Feuerverger, professor of statistics at the University of Toronto, concluded that the odds of such a cluster of names—however common the individual names were—was highly unlikely unless they represented the family of Jesus of Nazareth. The film concludes that the odds of it not being the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth were only one in 600. Put another way, this is well over a 99% probability in favor of it being the tomb of the New Testament Jesus. The new forensic findings linking the James ossuary to the Talpiot Tomb now make the probability astronomical that it was, in fact, the tomb of the historical Jesus of Nazareth.
If Shimron has proven that the James ossuary came from the Talpiot Tomb, "the evidence can no longer be ignored," argues Jacobovici. "The archaeology, the epigraphy, the statistics and, now, the hard chemical evidence all tell the same story. It's arguably the most important archaeological find of all time."

CommunicAsia2015 will Uncover How the Surge in Mobile Usage is Transforming the Online Music Market in Asia
-CommunicAsia2015 Summit speaker, Sunita Kaur, Managing Director, Asia, Spotify, shares how going mobile helped Spotify gain an edge and grow five times in Asia
SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ — Picture this: you are going on a long trip and will be spending at least two hours on the road. You begin downloading songs onto your mobile device and then a pop-up appears. "Memory full. Please manage your storage in Settings."
Online entertainment is moving from downloading to streaming on both PC and mobile devices for various reasons. The convenience and ability to cherry-pick your favourite content is already a good draw, but the true irresistible power of such streaming services comes from freeing up on storage space. You no longer have to pay for songs, instead you pay for access to a vast library of songs – a number much larger than a single device could conceivably store.
Mobile-only Asians
Not only does Asia have high mobile penetration rate, it is in fact, a growing mobile-only market. That is, mobile is the only connected device for many Asians, and the desktop experience is completely skipped. In Singapore for example, almost 70 percent of Spotify's audience is between 18-34 years old, and over 70 percent are either a mobile-only or cross-platform user. With that, Spotify was launched in Asia with mobile as a priority, not as an afterthought or nice-to-have.
Since Spotify launched its mobile-free tier in the region in December 2013, mobile streams have gone up to as much as five times compared to the previous year. Looking at the numbers, the mobile-first strategy has also fuelled growth in Spotify's user base, which subsequently bumped up premium subscriber numbers at an average conversion rate of about 20 per cent.
"We're so committed to the freemium model on mobile because we completely agree with the labels that subscribers are key to bringing the industry back to health — and we need the free 'funnel' to drive subscription," said Sunita Kaur, Managing Director, Asia, Spotify. "By bringing listeners into our free, ad-supported tier, we migrate them away from piracy, which is rife in this part of the world."
For Spotify, the other obvious advantage of going mobile is the ability to provide personalised recommendations to music fans. "We are constantly charting and looking at usage data to provide users with a more comprehensive experience. We recommend music depending on what you are already listening to and curate playlists that fit every activity — whether you're at a party, driving to work or studying, we have playlists that are with you at each moment. For example, we partnered with The Music Run™, and developed a digital tool that allows all music runners to listen, vote and share their favourite tracks," added Kaur.
The result of tailoring the streaming experience to individual needs is that users are spending an average of over 160 minutes listening, dancing or singing along to Spotify every day.
Going Beyond the Play Button
Spotify believes that their best marketer has, and always will be, their users. By first considering the demands of the consumers, words about Spotify spread and profits eventually followed in the form of subscriptions and advertisements.
Elaborated Kaur, "Evidently, both our advertisers and 60 million active users are extremely important to the long-term survival of Spotify, and the music industry at large. We want to help brands connect to this engaged audience in a variety of ways, while ensuring that these advertisements will be more interesting and useful to consumers. Whether it's advertising on our platforms or even co-creating campaigns that help brands tell their story through Spotify, we are the ultimate cross promotional tool."
In the second quarter of this year, Spotify is announcing the roll out of a new video ad product. Sponsored Sessions give brands ownership of 30 minute ad-free mobile sessions. Users opt-in to an ad-free experience by viewing a 15 or 30 second video on their mobile device.
Kaur recalled what Daniel Ek, CEO and Founder of Spotify once said in an interview, "The reason I started Spotify was not because of my love of music. It was because I saw an opportunity to create something that made it easier for people to do the stuff that they were already doing, but legally."
"That is precisely the advice I will give to any brands deliberating a mobile strategy. There is no cookie-cutter approach, so consider if your mobile strategy will add value to your consumers' lifestyles. Learn to build for the user, go beyond mobile-first, and go user-first," concluded Kaur.

Led by #PepsiChallenge global ambassador and world-renowned fashion designer and creative director, Nicola Formichetti, the "Live for Now" Design Challenge will kick-off with a design concept from Formichetti, featuring his beloved Nicopanda emblem, that will serve as inspiration and lay the groundwork showcasing where consumers can go with their own submissions. A blank Pepsi can, with only the logo intact, allows consumers to re-imagine the facade of the Pepsi can, with the only limitations their own imagination.
"I find inspiration around me constantly, particularly by the borderless world of design. From fashion and architecture to products and brands, design can be found in many mediums and created by individuals of all talents," said Formichetti. "The 'Live for Now' Design Challenge was a challenge I couldn't wait to accept and I am excited to see what the world conceives of and shares back."
Beginning today and continuing through May 13th, submissions from around the world will be accepted on http://www.PepsiChallenge.com, with one (1) winning designer offered a once-of-a-lifetime design experience at the PepsiCo Design & Innovation Center in New York City working alongside PepsiCo's industry-leading design team.
Top submissions will be judged by Formichetti, PepsiCo's Senior Vice President and Chief Design Officer Mauro Porcini and a hand-selected committee of design-world notables, including:
Marcelo Burlon, Creative Director
Lapo Elkann, Chairman and Co-Founder of Italia Independent
Karim Rashid, Award-Winning Designer
Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia
"The new Pepsi Challenge is all about encouraging consumers around the world to step out of their comfort zone and accept a new challenge and opportunity. Design has long been a haven for those who dare to do differently, so we wanted one of our first global challenges to connect with this bold creative class directly," said Kristin Patrick, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, PepsiCo Global Beverage Brands. "In a year of challenges, we have also turned the lens on ourselves to look at our brand differently. We're turning over our most cherished piece of equity and our most visible piece of real estate – the facade of the Pepsi can – to consumers around the world to reimagine. We can't wait to see the results."
The "Live for Now" Design Challenge follows the Pepsi x Liter of Light "Ignite the Light" Tour where Formichetti challenged creative colleagues around the world to design art installations inspired by light. An international journey of creative, large-scale, mixed media art installations, the "Ignite the Light" Tour brings attention to communities that lack electricity and basic lighting solutions through the Pepsi global partnership with Liter of Light. Every time consumers around the world use the #PepsiChallenge hash tag on public Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube profiles, Pepsi will donate $1 to Liter of Light to help bring environmentally-friendly, inexpensive and easy to make lights to those around the world who need it most.
With a launch that marked #PepsiChallenge as the #1 Twitter trending topic worldwide, and engagements by and with Pepsi global brand ambassadors and international luminaries, fashion houses and sports celebrities alike, the Pepsi Challenge continues throughout 2015 with additional global and local challenges designed to galvanize consumers around the world to live life to the fullest and make every moment – big or small – epic.

A Christmas Carol: update on 2020 performances
2nd September 2020 in News Press
As English National Opera continues to focus on performances that can be staged under socially distanced restrictions in our home, the London Coliseum, we – alongside our co-producers the London Musical Theatre Orchestra – have come to the regrettable decision to cancel A Christmas Carol planned for the first week of December this year, due to the scale of the production.
We are still looking forward to sharing plans publicly soon about our plans to re-open the doors to our theatre and perform for you there once again.
ENO would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and creatives who had already worked incredibly hard on this production. We also want to reassure those who had booked tickets that we will be in touch in due course regarding refunds.
For now, we look forward to welcoming those of you who have booked tickets for our ENO Drive & Live performances of La bohème at Alexandra Palace later this month.
Full cast and creative team announced for ENO Drive & Live at Alexandra Palace

I am re-reading and re-viewing Hitchens' writings and public speakings against former US Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford, Henry Kissinger, and have recently come across the above C-SPAN discussion from 2001. I have added it to "The Good" section of my anthology of his contested debates and have this to say of it:

Gregory S Paul: 'The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis, Parts I – III'
For several years, since my last spate of blogging in 2009 – 2010, I have been preparing a collection of essays on Christianity's role in the rise of Fascism and National Socialism in order to exonerate atheism and secularism, whose names are repeatedly sullied by the faithful in order to deflect attention away from their own gross failings of morality and resistance to radical evil.
American physicist Victor Stenger's excellent addition to the New Atheism cannon, God, The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist, briefly mentions Christianity's complicity with Nazism in its chapter discussing human morality. Stenger cites palaeontologist, researcher and author Gregory Scott Paul's three articles that were published in Free Inquiry magazine about 10 years ago: "The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis." I have learnt a great deal from Paul's articles and they have been instrumental in my research for my own essays on the topic.
The articles are available to view on Free Inquiry magazine's website, although the format is not terribly reader-friendly.
I have transferred the text, including the photographs and captions, into Word Documents, which I have uploaded to this blog in PDF:
Part I – PDF
Part II – PDF
Part III – PDF
Enjoy and learn.

Premier Christian Radio Debate 13/08/11: MSP –v- Peter Harris – "Hitler's & Stalin's regimes"
manicstreetpreacher goes for Round 2.
The second of my two recently recorded debates for Justin Brierley at Premier Christian Radio for his sceptics debate show, Unbelievable?, was whether atheism or Christianity was responsible for the so-called secular atrocities of the mid-20th century.
My opponent was Peter Harris, a teacher and a doctorate student of theology and apologetics who has a page on BeThinking.

manicstreetpreacher presents the damning verdict on a pseudo-intellectual by a genuine one.
Further to my recent series of posts on the Intelligent Design creationist propaganda piece Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Mike Godfrey over at God3's Blog quotes one of the film's participants, David Berlinski. In his response to the New Atheism, The Devil's Delusion, Berlinski, a supposedly secular Jew, writes on the crimes of so-called atheist totalitarianisms in the 20th century:
Dawkins is prepared to acknowledge the facts while denying their significance. Neither the Nazis nor the Communists, he affirms, acted because of their atheism. They were simply keen to kill a great many people. Atheism had nothing to do with it. They might well have been Christian Scientists.
In the early days of the German advance into Eastern Europe, before the possibility of Soviet retribution even entered their untroubled imagination, Nazi extermination squads would sweep into villages, and after forcing the villagers to dig their own graves, murder their victims with machine guns. On one such occasion somewhere in Eastern Europe, an SS officer watched languidly, his machine gun cradled, as an elderly and bearded Hasidic Jew laboriously dug what he knew to be his grave.
Standing up straight, he addressed his executioner. "God is watching what you are doing," he said.
And then he was shot dead.
What Hitler did not believe and what Stalin did not believe and what Mao did not believe and what the SS did not believe and what the Gestapo did not believe and what the NKVD did not believe and what the commissars, functionaries, swaggering executioners, Nazi doctors, Communist Party theoreticians, intellectuals, Brown Shirts, Black Shirts, gauleiters, and a thousand party hacks did not believe was that God was watching what they were doing.
And as far as we can tell, very few of those carrying out the horrors of the twentieth century worried overmuch that God was watching what they were doing either.
That is, after all, the meaning of a secular society.
I can only assume that Berlinski had forgotten about the events of September 11, 2001 when he was writing this passage. This was an outrage carried out by people who were thinking only too much of what heaven would think of them. Hopefully, the more recent events on the Moscow tube will jog his memory.
Appealing to authority and credential inflation are common tactics of creationists and Intelligent Design proponents. Expelled's host, Ben Stein, went to great lengths to hold out Berlinski as an example of a smart guy who believed in Intelligent Design in order to give it some credibility. However, all Berlinski succeeded in doing was to be a particularly obnoxious and unlikeable character, saying that Richard Dawkins is "a crummy philosopher" and "a little bit of a reptile".
In an article reminiscing on an infamous book review for The New York Times in 1989 where he wrote, "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)," Dawkins had this to say about Berlinski:
Are there, then, any examples of anti-evolution poseurs who are not ignorant, stupid or insane, and who might be genuine candidates for the wicked category? I once shared a platform with someone called David Berlinski, who is certainly not ignorant, stupid or insane. He denies that he is a creationist, but claims strong scientific arguments against evolution (which disappointingly turn out to be the same old creationist arguments). Together with the great John Maynard Smith and others, he and I were guest speakers at a debate organized by a prominent Oxford rabbi. Maynard Smith spoke after Berlinski and, not surprisingly, he soon had the audience roaring with laughter as he lampooned Berlinski's bad arguments. But what amused me was Berlinski's tactic for dealing with this mocking laughter. He sprang to his feet, held up a reproachful open palm towards the audience, and said (approximately of course, I can't remember the exact words): "No no! Don't laugh. Let Maynard Smith have his say! It's only fair!" Happily, the Oxford audience saw through this tactic of pretending to think the audience were laughing at Maynard Smith rather than with him. And the rabbi, himself a devout creationist, afterwards told me he had been shocked at Berlinski's duplicity. By itself, this is too trivial an example to deserve the name wicked. But it did make me wonder about Berlinski's motives. As I said, he is certainly not ignorant, stupid or insane.
After witnessing his performance in Expelled, Dawkins' assessment of Berlinski is borne out all too well.

Richard Dawkins and P Z Myers versus Pope Pius XII
Following recent comments by two of the World's most outspoken atheists, manicstreetpreacher thinks a reassessment of the silent Pope is in order.
I have a morbid fascination with the figure of Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII. I confess that the only full-length biography I have read is John Cornwell's controversial Hitler's Pope, which has been so heavily criticised that even the author no longer stands by all of its claims.
I am currently researching and writing an epic post about the role of the Church and religion in the rise of fascism (so epic, that it might have to be an entire book!), and I really need to read a more sympathetic account of Pacelli. I have read Sacred Causes by Christian historian Michael Burleigh which references a few Pius defenders such as Mississippi law professor Ronald Rychlak and Rabbi David Dalin.
The best defence anyone has been able to advance is that Pacelli's scope for action was severely limited. Hindsight is the cheapest form of wisdom. Perhaps Pius XII would have inspired a mass uprising against the forces of darkness that had overwhelmed Europe by publically opposing Hitler. By the same token, his actions could have backfired with the consequences for Europe's population better left imagined than described.
Here is Richard Dawkins referring to Pius XII as "Pope… Nazi" at the 2010 Global Atheist Convention held in Melbourne, Australia earlier this month while commenting on the Vatican's procedure of canonising saints.
The press widely construed Dawkins as referring to the current holder of St Peter's keys, Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI. While growing up in Germany, Ratzinger was drafted into the Hitler Youth along with practically all other German boys when he was too young to understand the full implications of what he was being ordered to do. Even the most virulent opponent of the Vatican would be punching below the belt to take this as evidence that Ratzinger supported Nazism. Although the next photo is hardly something you want left on your Facebook profile.
In fact, Dawkins was referencing Pius XII, the man who while the Vatican's Secretary of State concluded concordats with practically every fascist regime in Europe, including the 1929 Lateran Pact with Benito Mussolini of Italy and the 1933 Reichskonkordat with Adolf Hitler's German Wehrmacht Republic. These treaties, which incidentally were the first agreements signed respectively by both dictators upon taking power, guaranteed the Church's total withdrawal from politics, embodied by the dissolution of the German Catholic Centre Party, a source of effective opposition to National Socialism, in return for control of state education and other ameliorations.
As if that wasn't enough, Pius XII notoriously remained silence in public about the Holocaust, despite constant and reliable intelligence of the atrocities committed against the Jews. This was only one in a whole litany of sins for which atonement was begged by the former pontiff, John Paul II, during a papacy largely defined by repeated requests for forgiveness.
Perhaps sceptics are being too hard on Pacelli. Perhaps they are using him as a pawn in their private war against the parties of God. Perhaps his back really was up against a wall. Perhaps public condemnation of Hitler would have been foolhardy and lead only to Nazi aggression being redirected towards Catholics. Perhaps he achieved more by remaining silent in public and while waging a "secret war" against the Führer. The figures I've read for the number of Jews that the Vatican saved during the War range from half a million to 800,000. I am quite prepared to accept the higher figure.
But while the Pope's rural retreat of Castel Gandolfo and indeed the Vatican itself was used to hide Jews escaping the German occupation of Rome in 1943, the same "safe houses" were used to harbour escaping Nazi war criminals, not least of who was Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the "Final Solution". After the war Eichmann, along with many other Nazi war criminals, was spirited away to South America on an illegally acquired Red Cross humanitarian passport via a "Ratline", before finally being kidnapped by Mossad agents in Argentina, standing trial in Israel and executed for crimes against humanity in 1962.
It is not proven that Pacelli had personal knowledge of the Ratlines, their chief architect being Austrian Bishop Alois Hudal, author of the Hitler-fawning tract, The Foundations of National Socialism. But since Pacelli clearly turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the death camps during the war, it is not unreasonable to draw negative inferences.
The Vatican could always exonerate Pacelli once and for all by releasing the wartime documents from their archives which would prove the Pontiff's defence, surely? So far, they have declined to do this, making the utterly lame excuse that the copious documents have not yet been properly catalogued.
Ratzinger's recent drive to canonise Pius XII has been discouraged by the Church's own theologians as likely to cause grave damage to relations between the Catholic Church and Jews and that he had become a de facto "symbol of Christian anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism".
One very eloquent reviewer of Dalin's book, The Myth of Hitler's Pope, on Amazon US described the Church's stance thus:
As long as Pope Pius XII allowed Hitler to remain a Catholic, the Pope supported his actions, period, and end of story. There was no conspiracy, just failed responsibility, and lack of action. David Dalin's book, The Myth of Hitler's Pope demonstrates very little except to try and defend the ridiculous.
That is about as reasonable and balanced an assessment as I have read from a sceptic. The verdict of biologist and blogger P Z Myers was worded somewhat more strongly…
Oh, and Pope Pius XII really was a sniveling rat bastard who should have been held accountable for contributing to the evil perpetrated against the Jews.
The Pius Wars will not cease until the day Daniel Dennett's dream of the Vatican being converted into the "International Museum of Roman Catholicism" becomes a reality.

Premier Christian Media's screening of 'Expelled': From Darwin to Hitler?
Part Four of my analysis of Premier Christian Media's screening and debate of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed examines the film's claim that Darwin's theory directly inspired Hitler and 20th century eugenics.
The final quarter of the film makes the outrageous allegation that Darwin's work directly inspired Hitler and eugenics. The host, Ben Stein, visits Darwin's former home of Down House in Kent and his memorial at the London Natural History Museum. He visits the Dachau concentration camp and Hadamar Clinic where he interviews the tour guide Uta George and Richard Weikart, Discovery Institute research fellow and author of From Darwin to Hitler.
I haven't read Weikart's book, but I listened to this lecture and was distinctly underwhelmed by the tenuous links made between the ancient idea of eugenics and Darwin's theory. Darwinism describes a scientific process for which there is ample evidence. Whether we like its moral implication is irrelevant and Weikart is guilty of the naturalistic fallacy; confusing "what is" with "what ought to be". Weikart's arguments rely heavily on some disgraceful quote-mining of Darwin's work, more of which below.
Weikart also ignores a wealth of other social, economic and indeed religious factors that resulted in the rise of Nazism. For excellent refutations of his thesis, I came across his radio debate against atheist Professor of Religious Studies at Iowa State University, Hector Avalos, as well as Avalos' extensive blog posts on Debunking Christianity here and here.
Towards the end of Expelled, Stein reads out the following passage which is often quoted by creationists from The Descent of Man, first published in 1871:
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick, thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
However, the passage in full shows that Darwin was deeply compassionate to the handicapped and was not in favour of any euthanasia programme:
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, if so urged by hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. The surgeon may harden himself whilst performing an operation, for he knows that he is acting for the good of his patient; but if we were intentionally to neglect the weak and helpless, it could only be for a contingent benefit, with a certain and great present evil.
There are several other passages from Darwin that creationists mine in their attempts to show that he was immoral, but reveal quite the opposite when read in their true context. In the post-screening debate (at 43 minutes on the podcast) I asked the panel a question that drew their attention to this distortion, adding that while Darwin was about as racist as anyone else in Victorian England, he was a passionate abolitionist of the slave trade. Surprisingly, my comments drew nods of agreement from Steve Fuller. I also added that I have read Hitler's Mein Kampf for myself. It contains not one reference of Darwin, evolution or natural selection, but talks rather a lot about his faith in Heaven and the Almighty as well as his theological hero, Martin Luther.
Alastair Noble made noises about how Darwin influenced Stalin. This claim is straight off the Answers in Genesis website and was repeated by David Robertson in our second debate on Premier's Unbelievable? last year. The truth is that Stalin rejected Darwinism in favour of Lamarckism which lead to Lysenko's insane programme to grow giant vegetables and deliver multiple harvests in one year, leading to the starvation of millions:
Mendeleyev's "periodic system of elements" clearly shows how very important in the history of nature is the emergence of qualitative changes out of quantitative changes. The same thing is shown in biology by the theory of neo-Lamarckism, to which neo-Darwinism is yielding place.
– Stalin 1906, 304
Steve Fuller replied that Mein Kampf discussed "selection". However, Hitler was referring to artificial selection which humans have known about for centuries. Dog breeding and pigeon fancying have more responsibility for Hitler than On the Origin of the Species.
There is widespread confusion over Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and "Social Darwinism", which was coined by the Protestant anthropologist Herbert Spencer, who also came up with the term "survival of the fittest". Although still tarring Darwin's good name, Hitler's ethic is better described as "Social Darwinist".
Irritatingly, many respectable scientists and historians have linked Darwin to Nazi Germany. Sir Arthur Keith is often quoted by creationists as writing in Evolution & Ethics (1946) that Hitler was an evolutionist and was trying to create Darwin's utopia based on the principles of eugenics, though Keith never showed which parts of Origins inspired Hitler. Laurence Rees' otherwise excellent study of the Final Solution, Auschwitz, was tarnished somewhat with the assertion that the Nazis' ideology was "expressly Darwinian", again without citing any primary sources in support.
The full original title of On the Origin of Species is infamously "Or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life". Again, creationists have argued that this is clear evidence that Darwin was in favour of a brutal struggle for survival where the strong would crush the weak. However, as Richard Dawkins explained following the film's release in an "Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda":
Darwin was using the word "race" in a very different sense from ours. It is totally clear, if you read past the title to the book itself, that a "favoured race" meant something like "that set of individuals who possess a certain favoured genetic mutation" (although Darwin would not have used that language because he did not have our modern concept of a genetic mutation).
The Anti-Defamation League, an American Jewish pressure group dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, issued the following statement against Expelled which is the first and last word against anyone claiming that Darwinism is in any way a link to eugenics or Social Darwinism:
The film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed misappropriates the Holocaust and its imagery as a part of its political effort to discredit the scientific community which rejects so-called intelligent design theory.
Hitler did not need Darwin to devise his heinous plan to exterminate the Jewish people and Darwin and evolutionary theory cannot explain Hitler's genocidal madness.
Using the Holocaust in order to tarnish those who promote the theory of evolution is outrageous and trivializes the complex factors that led to the mass extermination of European Jewry.
Steve Fuller also argued that people who support the teaching of evolution also support abortion and euthanasia on the grounds that it will lead to a better version of humanity. Again, I found this claim deeply offensive. I have recently written that I am pro-choice on the grounds that the alternative is worse. Abortion should be the last option. Prevention is better than cure. The answer is increased access to contraception and education as to its proper use. I am not in favour of abortion because it is a quick and convenient method of wiping out Down's Syndrome.
I can think of no better way to end these posts than with this compilation by YouTube auteur, Thunderf00t, that features Stein on a Christian TV network shortly after Expelled's release making the appalling claim that "science leads to killing people", juxtaposed with his own delusional fantasies about America needing to start World War Three in order to protect itself against Iran and North Korea.
P Z Myers couldn't have phrased it any better:
What a vile little man. I sincerely hope that his career is dead now … and that the rest of his life will be spent eking out speaking fees at Christian fundamentalist conventions, before audiences who will cheer him while dreaming of the day the Jews are exterminated or converted, bringing on Armageddon.
Right on, brother.
Now, a "call to arms" (in the strictly metaphorical, non-jihadist sense of the term) to all atheists, rationalists, humanists, secularists and everyone else who cares about truth in science and a proper education of school children which is free from religious dogma and presupposition: Let's go to work.

Addendum to "The Hitler Meme"
manicstreetpreacher wants to know what the hell is going on!
I have just added the following text to the beginning of my post entitled "The Hitler Meme" and invite any and all comments.
UPDATE: 11 MARCH 2010
I have been writing this blog for just over a year now. I love blogging. It is a very involving hobby that has expanded my mind and made me engage with a wealth of new issues relating to science, history, politics and philosophy. I love the buzz you get when the notification email arrives when someone has posted a reply to a thread, links to one of your posts on their blog, sends a message of praise or constructive criticism. I love the feeling of, "Perhaps this argument will make me change my mind?"
Of which posts am I most proud? Well, my report of the Hitchens/ Fry debate on the Catholic Church in October '09 had a lot of views and comments. My rubbishing of William Dembski's Intelligent Design "theory" ranks very high as well. Just to think, I nearly gave up on it halfway through I was so bored, and then an "unsolicited" email to Dembski's college account and it ended up on his Uncommon Descent blog not once, but twice! Victor Stenger liked my analysis of his 2003 debate against William Lane Craig so much that he posted it on his own website and from where I get c. 20 referrals per day. And of course there's my castigation of Craig's appalling interpretation of Yahweh's commandment to his chosen people to wipe out every single one of the Canaanites of which I am rather pleased.
Are any of these my highest viewed post? No. My highest viewed post is THIS: the result of a rainy Saturday afternoon dossing on YouTube coming across an Internet craze butchering the best scene in a brilliant study of history's most infamous tyrant.
Posted on 26 August 2009. 11,700 views and counting. It's getting ridiculous!!
The Hitchens/ Fry debate report was my PB with c. 600 views in one day. Now it is "The Hitler Meme" which has been getting 700+ per day of late. I really can't explain why it is getting so many views. No one has left a comment. The post hasn't been linked on any other blog or website. My WordPress stats monitor says that viewers are finding it through the search engine term "hitler". Except I have searched for it on Google and it doesn't come up in the first 10 pages of hits!?!?!?!?!?!
Anyone viewing this post now, how are you finding this page? What's so great about it? Please leave some comments and put me out of my misery!
I don't know whether to delete the post yet, but I may well do so. This is just getting silly! Answers in the comments box, please.

Albert Einstein's 'support' for the Church in the face of Hitler is bogus
manicstreetpreacher shows that a statement by the exiled pantheist scientist praising the Church in Nazi Germany falls down on closer examination.
Religious-types seem to think that massaging the words of prominent non-believers into concessions to faith approximates an argument for the truth or usefulness of religion. I have long grown tired of this bogus and dishonest tactic. If a theist told me Richard Dawkins' or Charles Darwin's take on the colour of an orange, I would scrutinise the primary source carefully.
Apologists are often desperate to claim that the Jewish-born, agnostic scientist, Albert Einstein was a theist. Continuing in this tradition, you will hear and read the following statement attributed to the atomic scientist trotted out by those eager to defend the reprehensible (in)actions of the Catholic Church in the face of Nazism:
Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came in Germany, I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but, no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks…
Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly.
The statement first appeared in an article entitled "German Martyrs" which was published in Time magazine on 23 December 1940. You will find it posted on many religious websites and repeated by clergymen. Christian historian, Michael Burleigh, quotes it point-blank in his study of religion and politics in the 20th century, Sacred Causes, before rambling into a highly selective and ultimately, disingenuous defence of the Church during the Second World War.
Nevertheless, a superb piece by the analyst, William Waterhouse, first published in Skeptic (Volume 12, Number 3, Fall 2005), has exposed the statement as an exaggeration at best and a fabrication at worst by those eager to abuse Einstein's prestigious reputation rather than convey his real opinions.
For starters, the statement appeared without any source or attribution when it was first published in Time. It is not known whether the reporter personally heard Einstein say it. The statement does not appear in the definitive collection of Einstein's sayings, The Expanded Quotable Einstein. Any reference to the treatment of Europe's Jews is also conspicuously absent.
In addition, the language is too flamboyant compared to Einstein's usual style, with its reference to "great editors" and "flaming editorials". The statement is also unlikely to have come from a scientist, stating as it does that Einstein "despised" something immediately after saying that he "never had any special interest" in it.
For comparison, here is a statement that Einstein definitely made in response to Nazism in 1933:
I hope that healthy conditions will soon supervene in Germany and that in future her great men like Kant and Goethe will not merely be commemorated from time to time but that the principle which they taught will also prevail in public life and in the general consciousness.
As Waterhouse points out, Einstein (like most German Jews) hoped for support not from Christianity as such, but from the German Enlightenment tradition.
Waterhouse's enquiries with the Einstein Archives in Jerusalem lead to the discovery of a letter written by Einstein in 1947 stating that in the early years of Hitler's regime he had casually mentioned to a journalist that hardly any German intellectuals except a few churchmen were supporting individual rights and intellectual freedom. He added that this statement had subsequently been drastically exaggerated beyond anything that he could recognise as his own.
As Christopher Hitchens writes in God Is Not Great, "Those who seek to misrepresent the man who gave us an alternative theory of the cosmos (as well as those who remained silent or worse while his fellow Jews were being deported and destroyed) betray the prickings of their bad consciences."

Weekend at Hitler's
The late biographer of the two of history's greatest mass-murderers provides a unique – and witty – insight in their respective psyches.
I came across the obituary of Alan Bullock, Baron Bullock, the British historian who published seminal biographies of the two most infamous tyrants of the 20th century, Hitler: A Study In Tyranny and Hitler And Stalin: Parallel Lives and it made me LMFAO:
Almost 40 years later, Bullock returned to the subject [of Hitler] with his thousand-page tome Hitler And Stalin: Parallel Lives (1991, revised 1998)… Bullock had grasped that Stalin's personal malice marked him out from Hitler, who was astonishingly tolerant of inadequate colleagues. Asked the frivolous question as to which of the dictators he would have preferred spending a weekend with, Bullock replied promptly, "Hitler, because although it would have been boring in the extreme, you would have had a greater certainty in coming back alive."

The Hitler Meme
The reputation of history's most hated dictator will never survive this.
Of which posts am I most proud? Well, my report of the Hitchens/ Fry debate on the Catholic Church in October had a lot of views and comments. My rubbishing of William Dembski's Intelligent Design "theory" ranks very high as well. Just to think, I nearly gave up on it halfway through I was so bored, and then an "unsolicited" email to Dembski's college account and it ended up on his Uncommon Descent blog not once, but twice!

And of course there's my castigation of Craig's appalling interpretation of Yahweh's commandment to his chosen people to wipe out every single one of the Canaanites of which I am rather pleased.
ORIGINAL POST CONTINUES
I recently became aware of a massive YouTube trend sending up Hitler. The clips are culled from Oliver Hirschbiegel's 2004 film, Downfall, which depicts the Führer's last days in his Berlin bunker with the Allied forces closing in on all sides in the spring of 1945.
Except instead of throwing a wobbler at his aides and military commanders for the collapse of the German army in the face of the enemy, Adolf – played by Swiss actor Bruno Ganz – is getting all hot under the collar at slightly less profound matters, such as the live act for his birthday party…
Tasteless, spoiling a great film and above all funny. Very, very funny. Hundreds have been produced. Here is a selection of my favourites from a rainy afternoon's viewing:
Hitler gets banned from Xbox online…
…finds out that Michael Jackson has died…
…hears about Sarah Palin's resignation…
…complains about being stuck in slow motion…
…assumes the role of Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, over the NDP-Liberal Coalition…
…and finally, rants at the amount of spoofs about him from the film Downfall…

Financial companies learned their lesson from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the massive power blackout of 2003 and are ready for Republican National Convention-related disruptions.
As New York braces for the Republican National Convention this week, IT managers at the city's financial services companies may be nervous about the potential for terrorism, but they're prepared.
Having learned from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the massive power blackout of 2003, many Manhattan-based companies are now hardened with beefed-up disaster recovery initiatives, such as encrypted data backup processes, remote backup facilities and redundant telecommunications systems.
John Shaffer, like IT managers at financial companies across the city, has checked and rechecked his backup and disaster recovery systems to ensure availability of his company's critical IT resources.
"There's definitely a concern. [Terrorists] have obviously picked buildings in our area that are potential targets. Who really knows what's going to happen?" said Shaffer, director of technology at Greenhill & Co. Inc., an investment bank located near Madison Square Garden, site of the RNC. "We've been reviewing our plans to make sure that in the worst-case scenario, I [can] move my e-mail someplace else." | {

Testing time for journalists, state surveillance apparatus more overbearing than ever, says Ravish Kumar

Before receiving Ramon Magsaysay Award for 2019, famous Hindi journalist Ravish Kumar delivered a speech in Manila. Kumar delivered a speech on "The Power of Citizen's journalism to Advance Democracy", in Philippines.
Ravish Kumar won the award for "harnessing journalism to give voice to the voiceless" and his "unfaltering commitment to a professional, ethical journalism of the highest standards".
He is one the five recipients of the 2019 Magsaysay award, the Asian equivalent of the Nobel, which recognises the "greatness of spirit and transformative leadership in Asia".
Ravish in his speech spoke about the current 'testing times' for journalists and common citizens "in today's times when the attack on our citizenship is all-encompassing and the state's surveillance apparatus is more overbearing than ever."
"In other words, the media controls the diversity of the news stories, and specifies what interpretation of news events are acceptable. The media is now a part of the surveillance state. It isn't the fourth estate anymore, but the first estate." Kumar said.
Ravish also spoke about what was happening in Hong Kong and Kashmir and stated that people are out still fighting for citizenship. "The citizens of Hong Kong have challenged the government's effort to render citizenship hollow by refashioning objects of control into devices of liberation. The citizens of Hong Kong were willing and able to extricate themselves from the authoritarian network of information. This tells us that the state has not yet defeated citizenship." Kumar said.
While speaking about Kashmir, he questioned the month-long ongoing communication blackout: "What happens when the media, which is meant to gather, process and relay information, supports the shutdown of all sources of information? In doing so, the media stands against the citizen who is trying to learn about the world around her — not as a matter of curiosity, but for her survival and her family's well-being."
He also spoke on citizen journalism. He said, "When the media turns against the citizen, then it's time for the citizens to take on the role of the media. Government advertising forms a huge chunk of revenue for the media today. Citizen journalism, on the other hand, is struggling to survive purely on public support whilst staying outside the web of the government patronage and advertisers."
He also urged citizens to be democratic. "We are in urgent need of Citizen Journalists during today's times but even more than that we need the Citizen Democratic." he stated.
On September 22, Ravish will also receive another award, the first Gauri Lankesh Memorial Award that was announced on September 5, on the occasion of the Lankesh's second death anniversary.

Being an international traveller myself, I completely appreciate how much easier it is to do things on-line as opposed to having to make international telephone calls.
I cannot see any reason why Guests from New Zealand would not be able to use this same form.
If you do encounter any problems, I would recommend firstly contacting the Company with whom you booked your holiday package with and asking them to update your flight details.
As a last resort, you could ring Disney's Magical Express direct by calling 001-866-599-0951. If you do end up going down this route, in order to make the call as economical as possible, I would highly recommend using Skype. | {

Republican Mary Beth Carozza unseats Democratic Jim Mathias in the Maryland State Senate District 38 race. Follow the celebration and heartbreak.
Republican Mary Beth Carozza wiped away tears as she stared at the election results on the television screen.
With 53 percent of the vote, she had unseated Democratic incumbent Jim Mathias in the Maryland State Senate District 38 race.
Carozza supporters at West Ocean City's Mad Fish Bar & Grill erupted into cheers when the race was called in Carozza's favor.
When the results came in, Carozza addressed the crowd of energized supporters and thanked God for guiding her through this campaign.
The Republican candidate — recruited by Gov. Larry Hogan to challenge Mathias — campaigned right until the very end, making stops at various polling locations on Election Day before ending her night in West Ocean City.
Throughout her campaign for the State Senate, Carozza said she could feel her support base growing, but there was always a sliver of doubt. With the votes counted, her uncertainty has been replaced by gratitude, she said.
By about 10:30 p.m., the race had been called with Carozza winning 53 percent of the vote.
Going door-to-door and hearing the priorities of voters on the Lower Eastern Shore gave Carozza the direction and support to lead a successful campaign, she said.
Though the victory celebration for his challenger had already begun, Mathias joined a crowd of supporters at Tall Tales Brewing Company in Parsonsburg to an eruption of applause.
With bills like the one that provided funding support for the building of a new Coastal Hospice facility in his portfolio, Mathias said his work isn't over yet because those are the gifts that keep on giving.
From the beginning, Carozza has had the support of Hogan, who endorsed her for State Senate.
Carozza closely aligned herself with the popular governor in the hopes of bolstering support among voters on the Lower Eastern Shore. This tactic proved to be successful Tuesday night.
Hogan secured his re-election as governor of Maryland with 56.2 percent of the vote. Among voters on the Lower Eastern Shore, he was even more popular, garnering on average 71.5 percent in the three counties.
For Wicomico and Worcester counties, Carozza carried more than 50 percent of the vote. In Somerset County, she fell short of Mathias by a mere 10 votes.
As the newly elected senator, Carozza is looking forward to being a larger voice for the Shore. Winning the seat also puts her in a better position to support Hogan, she said.
"Hogan has a lot planned for the second term, and I plan to be right with it all, making sure that we move forward with our Shore priorities," Carozza said.
Overall, Maryland Republicans won one additional seat in the State Senate to bring their party total up to 15 out of 47 seats. Mathias was previously the sole Democrat on the Eastern Shore, but now that part of Maryland is solidly red.
State Republicans were trying to gain five additional seats to get a total of 19 senators to sustain Hogan's veto against a Democratic override, but were not successful.
This Democratic supermajority will keep Hogan in check, ensuring he stays more moderate and bipartisan as he moves into his second term as governor, said Stella Rouse, an associate professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland.
"I suspect the fact that Hogan was going to have a check in the Maryland legislature was something that comforted a lot of Democrats and made them more comfortable voting for Hogan rather than if he had higher Republican numbers in the legislature," Rouse said.
Having a majority Democrat legislature in Maryland will also be key when the 2020 Census comes around, Rouse said. Democrats will have more power over redistricting so it will be interesting to see how that plays out, she said.
Who is taking over Carozza's House District 38C?
Taking over Carozza's old House of Delegates District 38C seat is Republican Wayne Hartman, who previously served as a council member on the Ocean City Town Council.
Hartman had campaigned for the delegate seat alongside Carozza as she strove for the senate. Carozza was the first person to hold the District 38C seat in the Maryland House of Delegates after it was created in 2013.
For the most part, Hartman ran unopposed in the general election as there was no Democratic candidate. Ed Tinus did run as a write-in candidate, but Hartman had an overwhelming victory with 95.4 percent of the vote.
On the issues: What sets Mathias and Carozza apart?
Mathias ran on a campaign that centered around his ability to navigate partisan politics, especially as a rare Democratic voice on the Eastern Shore.
"The goodness of my accomplishments and leadership was bringing all those folks together," he said on election night.
He currently has eight committee assignments, including the Finance Committee, Joint Committee on Ending Homeless and Maryland Veterans Caucus.
In the 2018 session, he sponsored a total of 162 pieces of legislation, with more than 80 ultimately enacted.
However, the opioid crisis, a priority that in 2017 the Hogan administration declared a state of emergency, proved to be among the most controversial issues for Mathias.
A Maryland Republican Party-sponsored flyer mailed to Lower Shore voters attacked him for his stance on a bill intended to allow for the establishment of a supervised drug consumption facility program.
Championed by a Baltimore Democrat in the House of Delegates since 2016, Mathias co-sponsored the Senate version of the measure this year, but it received an unfavorable report from the Finance Committee.
The flyer alleged Mathias favored allowing Marylanders to "legally shoot up heroin," claiming "Jim Mathias is making it easier to get heroin than ice cream." He described the attack as a distortion of the bill's intent.
In an interview with Delmarva Now ahead of election day, Mathias instead focused on his support for other initiatives that established tools in the fight against opioids, particularly the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and HOPE and Treatment Act of 2017.
He voted in favor of the PDMP's establishment in 2011 and earlier this year co-sponsored a bill in the Senate meant to revise the program, though the legislation eventually failed because the House and Senate versions could not be reconciled.
He was also one of the 14 sponsors in the Senate for the Heroin and Opioid Prevention Effort and Treatment Act of 2017, which addressed behavioral health in a variety of ways, including through treatment access and crisis hotlines.
"My point is that Gov. Hogan has recognized with his leadership at the state level and what I have recognized at the local level is to work closely with those local teams so we can determine best solutions for our limited state resources and that is a contrast with the incumbent," she said in a previous interview.
In her first House term, Carozza sat on seven committees, including the Appropriations Committee, Maryland Veterans Caucus and Women Legislators of Maryland. Of the 111 total bills she sponsored during the 2018 session, 23 were successfully enacted.
On the House Appropriations Committee, Carozza touted her collaboration on Hogan's $44.4 billion budget in her 2018 End of Session Review, stressing the "historic" and "unprecedented" $6.5 billion included for K-12 education.
But a Maryland Democratic Senate Caucus flyer took aim at her education voting record by claiming she voted no to increasing state education funding for the shore, access to higher education and modernizing school construction.
"Unlike Jim Mathias, who voted for every wasteful budget that Martin O'Malley put forward with no questions asked, I'm willing to vote 'NO' on a budget when wasteful spending is added late in the game, and that's why I ran for office in the first place, to hold the line on excessive spending," she said in her campaign statement.
Her end of session review also explained her opposition to the 21st Century School Facilities Commission bill that included an amendment stripping oversight authority from the Board of Public Works and giving it to an appointed board.
Hogan vetoed the bill, a move Carozza voted to sustain. But the veto was overridden with support from Mathias.
Even though the election is over, Carozza will still be keeping busy until the legislative session starts in January.
The senator-elect said she will be spending the days following the election going around District 38 and thanking all of the voters who supported her campaign.
When she gets to the State Senate next year, Carozza said she wants to build upon the work Hogan has been doing with regard to job growth and economic development. She added that she's very passionate about career trade technology education as well.
"These are ways we can keep our young people here on the Shore, so not only that they have an opportunity of a good education, but also once they graduate, they have career opportunities right here on the Shore," Carozza said.
After a long and hard fought campaign, Mathias said he's going to take some time for family and rest.
Even though Mathias said he and Hogan get along well, it has been hard to run as a Democrat in a rural district while a popular Republican governor is also running for re-election.
Working successfully with Republicans and more progressive Democrats in Maryland during his tenure in the State Senate is an accomplishment Mathias is proud of. Over the past two terms, Mathias said he's been able to make a case in Annapolis for the Shore's needs. | {

About Education Center Gemstone List Crystal: Austrian
Crystal: Austrian
Austrian crystal offers a magnificent palette of inspiration with its variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Coupled with the country's passion for detail and high-precision cutting, Austrian crystal adds sophistication and glamour to any embellishment.
Austrian crystal is considered a rhinestone. The name rhinestones originated on the shores of the Rhine River that borders Austria. Early Europeans gathered sparkling rock crystal pebbles from the river's bank to use as adornments. Austrian crystal is handmade using a technique traditionally known for cutting hand-blown glass. Austria leads the world in the production of precision-cut crystals. They are used in fashion and jewelry as well as in architecture, lighting and interior designs.
Some traditions credit crystals with extending relief for sufferers of stress, arthritis or joint pain.
Crystals have been believed to alleviate traces of poisoning and ease depression.
More than 3,000 years ago, the art of glass making was developing in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece and Austria. By the 15th century, the city of Vienna was leading Europe in the production of select glassware. The diverse elements involved in glassmaking resulted in Vienna's version with delicate features and minimal fractures making it the perfect base for the country's new industry.
In the late 1800s, while still in Bohemia (now part of Czech Republic), Daniel Swarovski invented a machine that could cut the crystals. Although, he obtained its patent in 1892, concerns swirling around his trade secrets leaking to competitors, forced him move to Wattens, Austria. From then on, he continued his work based in Austria.In 1977, Austrian Crystals reached the American market and instantly became popular thanks to their clear brilliance, color and fair pricing.
Sourced from Austria.
Colors available in unlimited hues with a rainbow reflection.
Austrian crystal is formed by melting sand, soda, lime (from limestone) and other compounds at high temperatures. This process improves the clarity of glass, adding brightness, gleam and the ability to refract light.
These crystals are unusual as they are highly reflective, a feature brought by the purity and clarity of the molten glass.
Austrian crystal coatings come from various metals, which produce a high degree of sparkle and glitter. Skilled craftsmen then form prisms that bring forth layers of radiant color. | {

How Can This Help My Family?
What About Long Term Care?
What will happen if I don't have a Last Will and Testament?
What will happen if I don't have a Durable Financial Power of Attorney?
What will happen if I don't have an Advance Directive?
Why would I or my parents need an elder law attorney?
When is a nursing home the right choice?
How do I choose the right nursing home in Maryland?
With respect to assets you own at death, if you don't make decisions about your property, Maryland law will control what happens to it. There is chance that what Maryland law will do with your property is exactly what you would have done if you had made the decisions, but there is a better chance that you and Maryland would not make the same decisions. If you die without a will, you'll become what's called intestate. This means that your estate will be settled based on the laws of your state that outline who inherits what. Probate is the legal process of transferring the property of a deceased person to the rightful heirs. Since no executor was named, a judge appoints an administrator to serve in that capacity.
If you become incapacitated and are unable to make decisions for yourself, then there may be a need for a guardianship proceeding in order to appoint a guardian (who may not even be a family member) for you or your property in order to make decisions. Choosing a person to act as your health care agent is important. Even if you have other legal documents regarding your care, not all situations can be anticipated and some situations will require someone to make a judgment about your likely care wishes. When you need helping making decisions regarding your power of attorney, Hammond and Associates can help.
While it's not required to have an advance directive in place, it's beneficial to start planning for unexpected situations before they occur. With respect to medical decisions, if you are incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself, Maryland Law (Health General §5-605) provides a list of people in order of priority who can be your surrogate decision maker. Of course unless you have had health care related discussions with that person, that person will be making health care decisions for you without the kind of guidance that you would likely have provided in an Advance Directive. In addition disputes may arise if there is disagreement between two or more individuals who have the same priority. If no one on Maryland's list of surrogates is available and willing to serve, then a relative or close friend may be able to serve as surrogate. Finally if no one is able to act as surrogate, there may be a need for a guardianship proceeding so that a judge could appoint a guardian to make health care decisions. A guardian appointed by a court would not necessarily be someone that you know.
Our expertise in elder law focuses on protecting the quality of life, financial security, and independence of older citizens. There are important and overpowering issues to tackle. Unfortunately, if ignored, these matters are left to others, sometimes strangers. The people who love you are stuck with all the consequences and you become uncomfortably aware that you may not receive the care and lifestyle you deserve. By planning ahead, you can get the medical care you want, avoid unnecessary suffering and relieve caregivers of decision-making burdens during moments of crisis or grief.
A living trust is a legal document that contains instructions for what you want to happen to your assets when you die and when you lose the mental or physical capacity—such as Alzheimer's, stroke, or heart attack—to manage your assets. When you set up a living trust, you transfer assets from your name to the name of your trust. All the assets transferred are no longer your property, but are assets of the trust. If you need help setting up a living trust or would like more information on the benefits, contact the elder law attorneys at Hammond and Associates.
Having more difficulty with the activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, using the toilet, eating or transferring from bed to chair.
Why should you help your loved one make the transition into a nursing home? Nursing homes provide what is called custodial care, including getting in and out of bed, and providing assistance with feeding, bathing, and dressing. These communities typically have staff on hand 24 hours a day so you can rest assured knowing your mother, father, or loved one are being cared for around the clock. They are able to maintain a neighborhood feel by not having fixed schedules and allowing the residents to make their own daily plans.

How Can a Geriatric Care Manager Help Me?
Conduct care-planning assessments. That way, your care manager can identify the need for various services and suggest whether a knowledgeable practitioner should be consulted concerning eligibility for assistance.
Assist in identifying medical, legal, or financial issues. A care manager can offer referrals to practitioners who specialize in issues related to aging, elderly or geriatric individuals.
Provide crisis intervention. A care manager can act as a liaison for families at a distance, making sure things are going well and alerting families to existing or potential problems.
Assist with moving an elder.
Help clients find and participate in enriching social activities.
Open the lines of communication. A care manager will work with various individuals to ensure that the client and family members responsible for care are made aware of any circumstances that may make legal consultation appropriate.
Monitor clients' safety and security. Care managers may recommend technology that could be of assistance or monitor those who come in contact with a client. This can help ensure that the client is being treated fairly while identifying any signs of abuse towards the client.

The term 'timeless' is often carelessly applied. Music can be eternal in a literal sense, but very rarely does a work have the endurance to live past its own age and move into new realms of significance through its context. OK Computer is one of these works. This was a life born after The Bends and away from traditional rock and roll, derived instead from a place of anxiety and paranoia that distanced itself from the declining movement of Britpop. A transitional work in the best sense of the word, it was a clinical move into the cold and empirical, before the decisive nosedive into electronica that triggered Kid A. Each song is a monument in its own right, performed with an artistry that sounds somehow effortless in spite of the album's musical complexities. While Thom Yorke provides the voice to carry a nervous narrative, a band united in their despondency set the oscillation in motion. Individual excellence never interferes: even "Paranoid Android", OK Computer's most ambitious moment, weaves through multiple passages without a display of brandish swagger. No single component of the record is more important or less significant than another. Jonny Greenwood's unique guitar work is a true joy to behold, and has been rightly celebrated, but would not be as effective without the rhythmic pulse of Phil Selway, whose choice of pattern and tempo is key in setting the tone to "Karma Police", "The Tourist", and "Let Down". This musical harmony is what makes OK Computer, an album that communicates concern over the synthetic nature of modern culture, such an intriguing and rewarding paradox. Everything it tries to convey is said literally so on "Fitter Happier", a turbulent tide of received imagery, signifying society's troublesome detachment from reality. The album is an agitated reminder that we are all human; each of us insecure, scared, and extremely vulnerable. Its release in 1997 captured a moment in time that was somehow ahead of its own. To merely brand it a landmark of the '90s is a disservice to its insight — OK Computer is as relevant now as ever, both culturally and sonically. The term 'timeless' is indeed hastily hurled at works too often, but in the case of OK Computer, there's no term more appropriate.

Climbing Up the Walls
Let Down
Radiohead's famed 1997 sedative for the unhappinesses of modern life is as serenely despondant now as it has ever been. This is due in part, presumably, to the unhappinesses of modern life having not changed all that much in the last twenty years, but OK Computer itself endures as pristine music. The record finds the band at the tail-end of their formative angsty-rock years, and in wicked synergy. Afforded the freedom of self-producing, and with an open deadline — both for the first time — they sound at ease in their unease on OK Computer. The songwriting is effortlessly atypical, hefty portions of the tracks are recorded live, and many of Yorke's vocals done in one take. The sense of intimacy that results utterly defies the lonely, tightly-wound discontent of the album's character, to the point that it becomes reassuring to find oneself in the thick of it. No band does alone together quite like Radiohead. While the likes of Blur were sneering 'modern life is rubbish,' Radiohead sharpened that sound to whisper the unpleasant truth: 'No, you don't understand, it really is.' The album's texture, solemn and cerebral, still sounds like it's being played for the first time whenever I listen to it. Meticulously ordered, almost (almost) all of the tracks are classics in their own right. "Let Down" and "Karma Police" are particular favourites of mine, but there's enough quality across the board to echo just about any landfill heart. OK Computer is a pantheon of '90s music, and a stonking last hurrah of Radiohead's wry British rock roots before they went all-in weird and wonderful for Kid A. Absolutely essential listening.

Karma Police
No Surprises
OK Computer has received high critical acclaim since its release, but it isn't without its critics. Many complain of its pretension, its noisiness, and its lack of memorability, but I find it incredibly hard to relate to these issues, especially the latter of the three. From the first distorted guitar note of "Airbag" to the final percussive strike of "The Tourist", OK Computer feels like home to me even after years of not listening to it. Every track could be counted as a classic in Radiohead's catalogue, and it's clear that the running order for the album had a lot of thought put into it, with the consecutive tracks "Paranoid Android", "Subterranean Homesick Alien", and "Exit Music (For a Film)" making for some of the best 15 minutes of modern rock music that you can find. At a time when Radiohead were making a clear transition from solely '90s rock to a broader synth soaked sound in their music, the instrumental work across OK Computer is superb. From the clattering, driving energy of "Electioneering", attributed in part to Phil Selway's unfaltering drums, to the moody gloom of "Climbing Up the Walls" that relies heavily on its gritty bass synthesiser, there are some wonderful moments of harmony and dissonance. Thom Yorke's vocals range from haunting delicacy to full strength emotion, presenting some of his best performances in the band's catalogue. In short, OK Computer gives the listener a lot to feel. It won't necessarily be an entirely positive feeling, and will likely prompt some reflection given Yorke's more abstract, outward looking lyrics on the world, but in doing so takes the listener on an impeccably performed journey with every listen. For me, it never gets old.

Tucker Carlson of Fox News declares white supremacy a hoax. Former KKK Grand Dragon David Duke agrees with him.
By Gryphen|2019-08-08T05:52:06-08:00August 8th, 2019|Categories: News|Tags: CNN, David Duke, Fox News, hoax, Tucker Carlson, Twitter, Washington Post, white supremacists|9 Comments
3 days after a man who espoused anti-Hispanic views killed 22 people in El Paso, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed on air that white supremacy is 'a hoax.' pic.twitter.com/PZnvpmC73U
— NowThis (@nowthisnews) August 8, 2019
In his ongoing and remarkably successful quest to be the worst of the Fox News nighttime hosts, Tucker Carlson hit a new low on his Tuesday show.
White supremacy, he claimed, isn't a real problem in America: "This is a hoax, just like the Russia hoax. It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power." (Let's set aside, for a moment, the truth that the Russian attacks on America's voting integrity, to help Donald Trump become president, are anything but a hoax, as the Mueller report made abundantly clear.)
And, Carlson insisted, he has empirical evidence: "I've lived here 50 years and I've never met anybody, not one person who ascribes to white supremacy," he said, adding, "I don't know a single person who thinks that's a good idea."
Really? I'm pretty sure that he has both met and interviewed Donald Trump.
Now after this screed Carlson came under attack from…well form just about everyone.
However one perons eagerly came to his defense.
Tucker is RIGHT! White Supremacy is a ZioMedia Conspiracy Theory! The term is itself a lie. Millions of White activists are NOT "supremacists" We seek NOT to oppress or destroy any race! Human Rights for all – EVEN FOR WHITE PEOPLE! Stop antiWhite racism!https://t.co/vY0knfD0Xx
— David Duke (@DrDavidDuke) August 7, 2019
Yep, that is David Duke former Grand Dragon of the Klu Klux Klan coming to the defense of the guy who calls white supremacy a hoax.
Now for some reason, can't imagine why, Carlson has suddenly decided to go on a vacation.
Courtesy of CNN:
Facing mounting controversy for declaring the very real problem of white supremacy in America to be a "hoax," Tucker Carlson announced at the end of his Wednesday night Fox News show that he will be taking a vacation.
"By the way," he said, "I am taking several days off — headed to the wilderness to fish with my son." Carlson added, "Politics is important, fishing with your son, sometimes more important. So I'm doing it."
Of course according to the Fox News spokespeople this vacation has been in the works all along, and the timing means nothing.
But we ahve seen this before.
Bill O'Reilly went on a vcacation after being accused of sexual misconduct and never came back.
Jeanine Pirro went on a sudden vacation after saying some terrible things on the air, and after many weeks finally limped her way back onto the airwaves.
We will have to see if Carlson's vacation is a temporary one, or a permanent one, but I can almost guarantee that he will not be calling white supremacy a hoax on his Fox News show ever again.

When they stop exhibiting it, maybe I'll stop accusing them of it.
OK August 8, 2019 at 7:39 am

A group of 2020 Democrats have called President Trump a "white supremacist," an extraordinary charge at an extraordinary moment in American politics.
Are these people all on mind altering drugs or what?
Anon August 8, 2019 at 7:57 am
Sarah, Tucker and the white supremacy folks all share the same American dream
That all the black folks swim back to Africa with a Jew under each arm.
https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2019/08/07/amanpour-rep-karen-bass.cnn
"As President Trump visits Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas—two towns that witnessed devastating mass shootings this week—REP. Karen Bass, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, joins the program to discuss the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that persist in the United States."
Watch & Hear This^TRUTH
A hoax, so they have been misleading these poor white folks into thinking they are the master race?
Remember when he whined he couldn't eat in a restaurant anymore, people approaching him, and his poor daughter "why, Daddy?"
I'd walk by, "HEY, ASSHOLE!," and keep going.
Go fishing and get lost.
This guy has an assface. Will his assface ever smile?
Meanwhile he's losing advertisers right and left. | {

Diagnostic Wax-Ups are used to provide the patient, dentist and laboratory an accurate depiction of how a case will look once it has been finished.
Wax is applied to a patient's prepped model to achieve a wax-up. This gives all involved parties the information needed to decide whether to proceed with a treatment or not.

Type of module:
Summary module description:
A dissertation is considered to be the primary instrument in developing the research capability of students and providing research training on the MRes programme. A dissertation project is an independent piece of research work in the MRes programme in Informatics and considered to be the most important element in the programme as it demonstrates the student's knowledge and skills in terms of the subject area and academic research. It is normally conducted by an individual student guided by an academic supervisor in the chosen specialised domain. It gives students the opportunity to undertake a substantial research project which draws the prior knowledge and skills acquired from past experience and from taught modules of the MRes programme. It enables students to practise writing a scientific report, allows students to develop problem-solving skills, and enables students to manage research activities and critically assess the outcomes from the project.
Aims:
The aim of the module is to enable the student to conduct research and apply the knowledge into practice through an independent project. The student should show a detailed understanding of a particular subject field. This will involve a survey of recent developments in the field, a critical analysis of these developments and a prognosis of future developments.
Assessable learning outcomes:
At the end of the module the student will be able to:
Develop an understanding of the research topic subject matter
Develop and acquire new skills in conducting research
Plan and manage a systematic approach to a research project
Carry out a literature review
Critically approach a research problem
Develop a solution to a given research problem
Evaluate the solution and provide a critical appraisal
Derive logical conclusions
Produce a dissertation
Present the work in form of oral presentation
Additional outcomes:
Outline content:
Guidance on dissertation is provided in the Autumn Term to clarify the requirements for the dissertation. Lectures and workshop sessions on research methods and skills are provided during the Autumn and Spring Terms.
The dissertation project normally commences with an outline proposal submitted by the students at the end of the Autumn Term based on which a supervisor is assigned. The topic is normally proposed by the student and developed further in consultation with the appointed supervisor, which should result in a research proposal.
The research work must be conducted in an ethical and professional manner.
The text of the dissertation would not normally exceed 18,000 words but it may be supported by ancillary material.
Students may carry out their dissertation projects in organisations as part of placement or internship of up to six months in duration. The placement needs to be arranged by students and requires an approval by the Programme Director who ensures that the placement enables the students to satisfy the academic requirements of Dissertation.
Brief description of teaching and learning methods:
The dissertation project is normally conducted by an individual student guided by a supervisor. The student is expected to have regular meetings with the supervisor and contact with other members of staff, where appropriate, with expertise in the chosen research field. There is an opportunity to give an oral presentation at an interim stage to seek for feedback from staff and peers.

Since its creation two decades ago, Circle C Ranch -- one of Austin's most visionary and most controversial developments -- has operated under what has come to be known by both observers and residents as the "Bradley oligarchy." That is, the people who served as developer Gary Bradley's allies and business associates in Circle C's early days are the same people who run things today (see chart). But that may be about to change.
Until recently, most residents in this 2,700-home community seldom questioned the day-to-day business operations of Circle C, which survived the controversial bankruptcy of Bradley's development company in the mid-Nineties. Though successful as a residential community, Circle C has long been a bane of environmentalists because of its location on top of the Edwards Aquifer. Even so, Circle C residents have typically been a complacent bunch that dutifully paid their dues and cast their votes in line with the political endorsements of the powerful Circle C PAC.
Moreover, most of them never gave much heed to a popular rumor -- routinely denied -- that Bradley still calls the shots for the Circle C Homeowners Association. Now, a growing number of residents -- many who moved to the community in the last five years -- are starting to question why the same secretive people still control the Circle C HOA and its $1 million budget.
Last October, one homeowner created a community Web site for residents to raise these questions in an open forum. While many dissenters decline to be identified either in the press or on the Web site (they've expressed fears of retribution), they've discovered that they share common concerns. Many question the amount of their annual HOA fees -- which run as high as $400, depending on the home's assessed value -- and wonder who profits the most from those fees, which last year totaled nearly $1 million.
But persistence did pay off for a few residents who were able to review some of the HOA records. They made some interesting discoveries -- for example, that in 2002, the board paid nearly half a million dollars to a landscape company owned by Susan Hoover, a former HOA board member who bought the company from Gary Bradley in 2001. Hoover owns another company, Full Circle Management, which also draws income from Circle C HOA, and she is paid individually for "inspection and review services." Moreover, in an independent examination of Circle C's financial statements in 2000, auditor and CPA Thomas P. Donovan noted that two board members, Hoover and Steve Bartlett, were listed as employees of two companies (Alien Inc. and Phoenix Holdings, both formerly owned by Bradley) that billed the HOA for more than $500,000.
Neither Hoover nor Bartlett responded to our phone calls, but Ken Rigsbee, who serves as the HOA board's secretary and treasurer, responded by e-mail. He said the board currently pays Hoover's landscape company a fraction of what other companies would charge. "The board went through a formal bidding process once and learned that," he said.
Rigsbee regards the rank-and-file dissension this way: "We have newcomers who don't understand either the history of the [HOA] organization or of the neighborhood, and they jump to incorrect assumptions and conclusions." But he says they can be "educated" over time. Before the community grew to its current size, he continued, the homeowners knew and trusted the actions of the board. "Now we've become larger, and homeowners, particularly new ones, legitimately need more documentation and education."
But the board doesn't seem so willing to educate or share information, say residents. As one of the more outspoken homeowners, Austin attorney Bill Gammon, explains, "This whole thing began with a simple search for information. In the process of trying to find this information ... I have discovered that a number of other people have tried to get information from the [HOA], and their response is always the same." The response, he says, is along the lines of, "You're the only person who's ever asked for this. Why are you asking? This is a beautiful place, and you should be happy to live here."
Gammon says his search took him, along with a cameraman, to 1111 West 11th St., home to a number of businesses affiliated with Bradley and Circle C. Gammon walked away empty-handed, save for a video showing an angry Bradley ordering him and the cameraman off the property. Gammon has since met with two HOA officers -- Rigsbee and Jim O'Reilly -- and he says the pair agreed to establish a financial oversight committee with Gammon in charge.
There could be other changes in store for the old guard. While no Circle C HOA board member has ever faced serious election opposition, Vice-President Steve Bartlett may have competition when his term expires next month. Resident Carl Kernodle (the "K" partner in KPG Architects) has mounted a campaign against Bartlett, a former Bradley business partner and an HOA director since the board's inception in 1988. Bartlett will be tough to beat because of his institutional knowledge, Kernodle acknowledged. "We do need people with past experience, but we also need people who can move our community forward," he said. If elected, Kernodle says he will push to expand the board, implement a conflict-of-interest policy for board members, and rethink the HOA's fee assessments and bookkeeping methods.
Jim O'Reilly: President, Circle C HOA and former treasurer of Circle C Municipal Utility District 1; O'Reilly chaired the Circle C PAC during the 1997 legislative session.
Steve Bartlett: Vice-president, HOA; former Bradley business partner; owner of the Bartlett Group, a land-development company. He has served on the HOA board since its inception in 1988. Travis Co. appraisal records show he owns a residence in West Lake Hills (HOA directors are not required to live in Circle C). His term ends March 26 and Circle C resident Carl Kernodle is expected to challenge his re-election bid.
Ken Rigsbee: Secretary-treasurer, HOA; chairs Circle C PAC. One of Circle C's first homeowners and outspoken opponent of the city of Austin's annexation of Circle C.

Adrian Lambert Zach (14. září 1845 Stálky – 4. dubna 1916 Geras), byl rakouský římskokatolický duchovní a politik německé národnosti z Dolních Rakous, na počátku 20. století poslanec Říšské rady.
Opat Adrian Lambert Zach patřil na přelomu 19. a 20. století mezi nejpopulárnější dolnorakouské osobnosti.
Biografie
Narodil se ve Stálkách do rolnické rodiny, vystudoval státní gymnázium ve Znojmě a v roce 1866 se po vypuknutí války dobrovolně přihlásil k vojenské službě (Jägerunterofficier). Po válce se věnoval studiu teologie. V roce 1873 byl vysvěcen na kněze a ve stejném roce proběhla jeho investitura v premonstrátském klášteře v Gerasu. Dne 24. září 1889 byl Adrian Zach, tehdejší farář v dolnorakouské obci Kirchberg an der Wild, jednomyslně zvolen opatem premonstrátského kláštera, v jehož čele sloužil 27 letech. V roce 1900 byl císařem Františkem Josefem I. vyznamenán komturským křížem (Comthurkreuz des Franz Josef-Ordens). V letech 1907-1911 zastupoval v říšské radě zemský okres Waidhofen an der Thaya. Dolnorakouské obce Drosendorf, Altstadt-Drofendorf, Frohnsberg, Geras, Oberhöflein, Kottaun, Langau, Thumriß, Weitersfeld, Heufurth, Pleißing, Waschbach, Goggitsch a moravský Fratting / Vratěnín jej vyznamenaly čestným občanstvím.
Působil jako opat v opatství Geras. Funkci opata zastával od 24. září 1889. Dlouhodobě působil jako předseda okresní chudinské rady a člen okresní i zemské školské rady. Byl také místopředsedou okresní zemědělské společnosti v Hornu. Získal Řád Františka Josefa.
Působil i jako poslanec Říšské rady (celostátního parlamentu Předlitavska), kam usedl ve volbách do Říšské rady roku 1907, konaných poprvé podle všeobecného a rovného volebního práva. Byl zvolen za obvod Dolní Rakousy 58. Po volbách roku 1907 byl uváděn coby člen klubu Křesťansko-sociální sjednocení.
Zemřel v 72 letech v dubnu 1916.

Paul Boag Shares a Favorite Ecommerce Project
by Keir Whitaker
In Part 1 of my interview with Paul Boag, we discussed the importance of making a name for yourself in the web industry. Content marketing has played a key part in his own success and that of the agency he co-founded, Headscape.
Of course, getting the "gig" is only the first hurdle – you have to deliver good work too. In Part II of my interview with Paul Boag, I ask Paul about his experiences working on ecommerce projects. What follows is an illuminating and unusual insight into an ecommerce site catering for a demographic where the typical user is over 60.

Keir: You've worked on a few ecommerce projects over the years. One that you have spoken about before, Wiltshire Farm Foods, sounds like it posed a number of interesting challenges due to its niche audience.
Paul: Hugely! Wiltshire Farm Foods was a website aimed at elderly people. It sold frozen ready meals to them. It's basically a paid version of "Meals on Wheels." The average customer was in their 80s, which was incredible. I give a talk about this at a conference once and I put up a picture of two old people. What I say is one looks slightly older than the other. I said, "That one on the left, the younger looking one, that's the son." He's in his 70s or 60s.
It was a crazy audience to work with, but not necessarily a bad audience. You'd think you'd have all kinds of problems and certainly there were some issues – mainly related to accessibility. People of that age suffer a lot from arthritis, so we used to wear ski gloves to try and move the mouse and click on links. It gives you a sense of what it's like not to have full motion control using a mouse. The other great thing I would do is take off my glasses and try and navigate the site, because I'm as blind as a bat.
"We wore ski gloves to move the mouse. It gives you a sense of what it's like not to have full motion." Click to tweet
In other ways, they were a great audience. Because they lacked confidence, they would read every piece of text on the page – which meant they actually read instructions. They are the only audience in the world that actually reads your copy.
Keir: What kind of things specifically did you have to focus on?
We concentrated on removing a lot of clutter. Wiltshire Farm Foods had all these different categories of food, but in reality, customers only ever bought from the top eight categories. So we hid away categories that people didn't really look at much, just so they weren't feeling overwhelmed.
Another thing we did was provided lots of visual feedback, as these users needed lots of reassurance. For example, when customers add something to their shopping basket, normally you would just update the number, wouldn't you? That was nowhere near enough for these people.
Another thing we did was provided lots of visual feedback, as these users needed lots of reassurance. For example, when customers add something to their shopping basket, normally you would just update the number, wouldn't you? That was nowhere near enough for these people. The product would actually fly across the page. It sounds ridiculous, but it would animate across the page into the shopping basket. Then the product photo would then have a highlighted border around it. The button which did say, "Add to basket" now says, "Add another to the basket." You had a little tag that said "1 in basket" and the basket itself would obviously update. All these little touches added to reassure the users.
When it came to completing the information about yourself and your delivery address, we put a little tick by every field as they moved from one field to the next that said, "You're doing it right."
Then we spent quite a lot of time thinking about objection handling, which is a sales term that means working out why someone might not order. With this user base, it was external factors such as having a strange man turning up at their door. To help with this, we started to explore areas beyond the website. One thing we did was get the driver's CRN checked in order to reassure people. We also made it so that the driver would actually come into their house and stock up their freezer, as many users had real mobility problems.
We also didn't ignore the fact that this audience wasn't particularly comfortable online. So when people entered their post code, we would show them a picture of their franchise person, and give their name and telephone number. It humanized the person that was going to be delivering to them, and allowed them to pick up the phone.
"We didn't ignore the fact that this audience wasn't particularly comfortable online." [Click to Tweet]
We also allowed people to reorder at the door. Now, from an ecommerce point of view that's a really bad thing to do as you're losing track of the sale. You no longer know how effective the website's being because the user is ordering at the door and you don't know they were an ecommerce customer. It was kind of bad for ecommerce, but right for the user and right for the audience. We did a lot of that stuff; looking at those kinds of bigger picture issues.
We looked at really basic stuff as well, such as ensuring that buttons looked like buttons and that links had underlines on them.
Keir: I know you had some fun testing the site.
Paul: The first time we did usability testing, we got a few users into a usability test lab. We sat them down with a desktop computer and a nice big monitor. We thought they'd need a big monitor, and a mouse, and a keyboard.
The first little lady came in and sat down in front of this computer. We said, "The first task is..." and she said, "No, dear, I can't do that." And we said, "Why not? What's stopping you?" "Well, I don't know how to use the mouse." I'm like, "What?" "No, I have a laptop with a touchpad on it." We kind of dismissed that.
The next person comes in, sits down, and we tell them the task. I swear this is true. They picked up the mouse and put it on the screen. And so it went on. Not one of the six people we tested had ever used a mouse. They'd all only ever been given laptops. They'd skipped the whole mouse stage.
None of them knew how to do it, so we kind of gave up on that round of user testing. Instead, we decided to go into peoples' homes and actually test with their real kit. It was great, an amazing experience. I spent 40 minutes in a user-testing session, an hour and a half having tea and biscuits hearing about the Battle of Britain. It was wonderful.
We decided to go into peoples' homes and actually test with their real kit. It was great, an amazing experience. I spent 40 minutes in a user-testing session, an hour and a half having tea and biscuits hearing about the Battle of Britain. It was wonderful.
But the best thing was this one lady. One of my questions was, "Okay, I want you to add a product to your basket." She did that. I was about to say, "Now I want you to go to your basket," and I thought she wasn't going to be able to do this. It was because she had a Post-It note stuck over her monitor in the top right-hand corner, which was where the basket was. She wasn't going to see it. Another lady we tried to do testing with had a cat climbing over her keyboard most of the session.
It was a hugely enlightening experience. We learned loads from that, but the main way that we discovered all this stuff was though relentless A/B testing, and I mean relentless. It was obsessional. We managed to get, at one point, a 6% jump in conversion rate by changing one line of text. The website had a ridiculous conversion rate anyway. We got the conversion rate up to something like 32%, which is phenomenal isn't it?
"We managed to get a 6% jump in conversion rate by changing one line of text." [Click to Tweet]
Over the five years we worked with them, we increased their sales by 10,000 percent on the website. The 6% jump we got was because of the Verisign logo. You know the Verisign logo people used to put on their websites? We had that at the bottom. We want people to know this website is secure, so we put the Verisign logo on. "This website is protected by Verisign."
I was wandering around the site one day, clicking through things as you do. I thought, I bet our audience doesn't understand that. "Verisign, what the hell is that?" So I thought, let's do a bit of A/B testing. We tested a variety of different versions, one of which was just a padlock with the text, "We look after your credit card details" or something equally vague. And it caused a 6% jump in conversion rate. People were terrified about entering their credit card information, and apparently just promising to be good with it was enough to keep them happy.
Keir: That's a great story. Was the site built on a particular platform or did you develop it in-house?
Paul: It was bespoke. The main reason was that things like Shopify weren't around when we started working on it. The site also had a lot of very specific needs. For example, one of the problems with the site was that the business operates on a franchise model. That means each franchise is allowed to set their own prices, which meant when a user arrives at the website, they can't see prices because you don't know where they are located.
When we first started looking at the previous site before we worked on it, the first thing you encountered when you arrived was an ask to enter your post code. You couldn't see any products; couldn't do anything. It was a screen with "Enter your post code" on it. There were all kinds of integration and backend issues to support the franchise system, which basically meant that it had to be a custom build.
Keir: By playing the post code lottery you could get the same goods cheaper?
Paul: Absolutely. One of the things the website had on it was, "We offer free delivery." Users aren't stupid. They would go, "I'm being charged more if I'm in this postcode compared to that one. Therefore, delivery is not free. You're lying to me." One user said, "I would never purchase from an organization that lied to me like that."
What we ended up doing to get around the problem (which sounds like a weird thing to do) is that we showed the highest price. Then what we did is gave people a discount when they hit the checkout. We said, "We'd like to give you a discount." We don't say why. We just say we're going to give you a discount. People love that. They think that's the best thing ever. They were happy to pay the higher price, and here we are giving them a discount.
Keir: It's been brilliant, Paul. Thank you so much.
Paul: No problem at all.

Branch Creek Launches Safer Play Turf and Lawn Solutions to Help Homeowners and Lawn Care Professionals Control Weeds and Insects
SOUDERTON, Pa., June 4, 2018 – Branch Creek, a manufacturer of cleaner growing and surface maintenance solutions, announced the launch of its Safer Play line of turf and lawn products. Part of the Branch Creek Lawncare Program, Safer Play's Weed Shield, Grub Shield and Lawn Food with Crabgrass Prevention help homeowners and lawn care professionals protect lawns and turf fields from weeds and insects, without the need to use EPA-registered pesticides.
"These are game-changing turf solutions, providing the control you want without the pesticides you don't," said Nate Clemmer, CEO of Branch Creek. "Most playing fields, lawns and gardens use registered pesticides. When we – and our children – run, slide, scoop up a ball or simply sit down, we come into contact with chemicals that can have a negative impact on our wellness and our planet."
Safer Play's line of liquid and granular control products is made exclusively of ingredients classified as "minimum risk" under section 25(b) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). These control products fight insects, weeds, and other landscaping threats.
Lawn Food with Crabgrass Prevention is a non-manure-based, biosolid-free fertilizer with no restrictions on reentry time after application. Weed Shield kills and prevents weeds from forming with a botanical oil blend that does not harm grass. With a unique combination of botanical oils, oyster and clamshells, Grub Shield is a natural and eco-friendly product that works to control grubs and other surface-feeding insects such as chinch bugs.
"These products are so benign, they don't require yellow hazard signs," Clemmer added. "Yet, they are so potent and effective, you'll never need to use registered pesticides."

Branch Creek Launches With Cleaner, Safer Solutions for Lawns, Farms, and Outdoor Surfaces
SynaTek Solutions Forms New Company Focused on Cleaner Chemistry
SOUDERTON, Pa., February 27, 2018 – SynaTek Solutions CEO Nate Clemmer announces the launch of Branch Creek, a manufacturer of cleaner, safer growing and surface maintenance solutions for residential, commercial, agricultural, golf course, and municipal use.
Branch Creek products optimize outcomes while minimizing the side effects often associated with responsibility-driven efforts, such as sky-high prices and added labor. Its product line includes a fast acting, salt-free ice melt; OMRI-certified organic fertilizers; and safer pesticides, all designed to do better by water, soil, and living things.
"Branch Creek products focus on human health and the ecosystem while maintaining the practical benefits you want and need for your lawn, home, farm, or business," said Clemmer, who also serves as Branch Creek's CEO.
Chloride-free Entry™ is a clean liquid formula de-icer that melts snow and ice in as little as 30 seconds, won't dirty or damage floors, and outperforms traditional rock salt at no added cost. It also spares pets' paws.
Branch Creek Organics are OMRI-certified, easy-to-use fertilizers offering long-term profitability for farmers and great results for green thumbs and groundskeepers.
Finally, Branch Creek's Safer Play pesticides deliver the control users expect without the high-risk toxic ingredients currently used on most athletic fields and landscaped surfaces.
"While we need to protect surfaces and lawns, we can do it with cleaner chemistry that doesn't harm people, and without losing sight of our one precious planet," concludes Clemmer. "And it doesn't even have to cost more."
Choosing the Right Deicer for Your Indoor Carpeting?
Traditional ice melt product on the left and Entry™ on the right.
Chloride-based deicers and anti-icers pose a threat to the environment, to pets and to humans, but you may be wondering why that matters when children and pets don't typically walk or play on building walkways and stairways?
By Nate Clemmer – Original Article
(Photo: An application of a liquid ice melt product.)
In addition, most of the surrounding surfaces that must be treated – driveways and parking lots – are areas where the potential for causing harm to children is minimal, and to pets almost non-existent.
However, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium chlorides are also causing damage in an entirely different location: inside the building on carpeting and flooring.
Deicers Damage Floors and Carpets
When tracked into a facility, some chloride deicers leave a white residue that can dull the finish of floors and fade the color of carpets.
Other chloride-based products coat floors with an oily residue that damages wax and urethane finishes. In both cases, the near-term labor costs associated with manual clean-up of residue is roughly $50 per building entrance per day, according to estimates by the Sanitary Supply Association's Clean Management Institute.
Over time, chloride-based products can permanently damage flooring and carpeting, requiring expensive replacement. And then there's the safety risk that the oily, slippery residue can pose to a building's employees and visitors.
An alternative to these granular deicing materials are liquid deicers. One such product based upon potassium formate technology is 100 percent chloride free and it eliminates tracking, leaving no residue.
Potassium formate deicers also provide three benefits outside the building:
Ease of application
Some chloride-based products can burn human skin when contacted. If inhaled, dust particles can cause severe irritation. If ingested, they can cause severe irritation and bouts of vomiting and diarrhea.
When cats and dogs walk on surfaces treated with some chloride-based products, they often experience painful burning, inflammation and cracked pads. If they lick their paws and ingest the salt, they may experience symptoms including excessive thirst, vomiting and diarrhea. Some chloride-based deicers are poisonous to pets.
When most chloride salts spread from sidewalks and driveways into nearby soil, they can have a defoliating effect on trees and other plants, and they interfere with plants' ability to absorb vital nutrients including water, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Potassium formate products, on the other hand, are readily biodegradable. They are safer for people, pets, plants, metal, concrete and other surfaces. In fact, their toxicity rate is significantly lower than that of chloride-based products and potassium acetate.
Ease and speed of application combined with reduced transport and loading costs make liquids extremely attractive from a labor perspective.
Granular products can be very labor intensive, slowing the application process and negatively impacting safety in high-traffic pedestrian areas. For example, on stairs, applicators have to carry heavy bags, spreading material by hand, and in larger areas and walkways, push spreaders are often utilized. Liquid applications are far more efficient.
Liquid tanks fill quickly, and today's spray applicator technologies are convenient and easy to use, providing for very precise application rates.
Potassium formate deicers create a safer environment more quickly than chloride-based deicers. For example, some potassium formate products have a speed of melt of about 30-50 seconds by reducing the freezing point to temperatures as low as -63 degrees F. These deicers quickly and reliably remove thin layers of ice and prevent new snow and ice from accumulating.
By contrast, chloride-based granular deicers take a minimum of 3-5 minutes to achieve an acceptable melt – and as much as 10 minutes.
The low quantity of liquid required to produce an adequate melt combined with the ease and speed of application makes most liquid deicers more cost-effective than granular products.
Most users will achieve a lower application cost per 1,000 square feet with liquids than with granular deicers. And because the liquid achieves ice melt three times more quickly than granular products, it creates a longer-lasting and safer walking surface.
Right de-icer/anti-icer can improve safety, save money
Original Article on healthcarefacilitiestoday.com
The winter deicing priorities of grounds maintenance staffs at facilities throughout the country don't differ very much. They are charged with:
Creating a safe outdoor environment for pedestrians and vehicles
Doing so as quickly and cost-effectively as possible
Protecting facilities' indoor environment – particularly damage caused by deicing/anti-icing material residue on floors and carpeting
Hospital grounds maintenance personnel, on the other hand, may view their jobs a little differently. The aforementioned priorities hold true for them, too. But, hospital grounds maintenance staff also are concerned about the health and well-being of patients and creating a safe workplace in which clinical staff can care for patients. And, the healthcare facility's reputation is of utmost importance. Who wants to be admitted to a hospital that allows unsafe conditions – outside or in?
These priorities are even more applicable in Northern, Northeastern and Midwestern states, where average daily mid-winter temperatures can remain below zero degrees Fahrenheit. For grounds maintenance personnel in such climates, the job they do from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the spring and fall becomes a 24/7 job in the winter.
A hospital's variety of outdoor surfaces require different deicers/anti-icers appropriate to the vehicular and pedestrian traffic that utilize them. So, many facilities stock and use a variety of materials, depending upon snow/ice conditions and the types of surfaces being treated. These materials often include sodium, calcium and magnesium chlorides, bulk sodium chloride and, sometimes, blends of some of these materials.
Like other snow and ice management personnel in other industries, hospital facilities managers are aware of the threats to the environment, pets and humans posed by chloride-based deicers/anti-icers. And, the damage these materials cause inside buildings has become more widely known. When chloride-based products are applied in these areas, they get tracked into the buildings – and it's surprising how far into a building these products can be tracked. The use of granular chloride products results in 'hidden' costs that build up over the years: damage to floors and carpeting indoors and corrosion of doorways, concrete, asphalt, stone walkways and metal such as railings and doors outside. For this reason, many facilities personnel have been on the lookout for chloride-free ice melters that can be used for targeted use, particularly at entryways and stairways.
In search of environmentally-friendly de-icers/anti-icers
In recent years, grounds maintenance supervisors across a variety of industries have sought out new, more environmentally-friendly deicer/anti-icing products. That's because chloride-based products – sodium, calcium and magnesium chlorides – harm not only outdoor and indoor infrastructure, but humans, pets, plants and aquatic life, too.
Some chloride-based products can burn human skin when contacted. If inhaled, dust particles can cause severe irritation. If ingested, they can cause severe irritation and bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. When cats and dogs walk on surfaces treated with some chloride-based products, they often experience painful burning, inflammation and cracked pads. If they lick their paws and ingest the salt, they may experience symptoms including excessive thirst, vomiting and diarrhea.
The benefits of potassium formate technology
A new alternative to chloride-based ice melt products is a liquid deicer based upon potassium formate technology that is 100% chloride free and readily biodegradable. It is safer for people, pets, plants, metal, concrete and other surfaces. In fact, its toxicity rate is significantly lower than that of chloride-based products and potassium acetate.
Ice and snow removal contractors have been attracted to liquid ice melt/deice products largely because they are much easier to apply (no need to lug a bag of granular product across walkways and up and down stairways to apply – and no need to continually dip a gloved hand or a scoop into the bag). Spray applications are far more efficient and easy to use – and they provide for very precise application rates.
For many building owners and facilities managers, consumer concerns about child and pet-based eco-friendliness are viewed as of secondary importance. After all, children and pets are not typically traversing or playing on the grounds of office buildings and office parks. But the office's indoor "environment" is also negatively impacted by some ice melt/deice materials. When tracked into a facility, certain chloride deicers leave a white residue that can dull the finish of floors and fade the color of carpets. Other chloride-based products coat floors with an oily, slippery residue that damages wax and urethane finishes, posing a safety risk to employees and visitors.
By contrast, the neutral pH formulations of certain potassium formate technology deicers eliminate tracking, leaving no residue. This reduces near-term labor costs associated with manual cleaning, estimated at $50 per entrance per day according to the International Sanitary Supply Association's Clean Management Institute. And with no tracking and no residue, the building's floors and carpets are safer to walk, too.
Outdoors, formic technology deicers create a safer environment more quickly than chloride-based deicers. For example, some formic technology deicers have a speed of melt of about 30 to 50 seconds by reducing the freezing point to temperatures as low as minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit. These deicers quickly and reliably remove thin layers of ice and prevent new snow and ice from accumulating. By contrast, chloride-based granular deicers take a minimum of three to five minutes to achieve an acceptable melt – and as much as 10 minutes.
Most users will achieve a lower application cost per 1,000 sq. ft. with liquids than with granular deicers because of the ease and speed of application and the reduced amount of product needed to produce an acceptable melt.
For grounds maintenance personnel seeking deicing/anti-icing materials that are effective, affordable, non-corrosive and do not cause tracking indoors, potassium formate technology deicers/anti-icers are worth a look.
Hold the Salt? Sustainable Snow Removal Strategies Heat Up
Alternative approaches make it possible to minimize damage to facilities, bodies of water, and plant life while ensuring safety.
By Karen Kroll – Original Article
As another winter approaches, snow and ice removal likely will be top of mind. These days, the environmental costs of traditional snow and ice removal methods are a growing concern. The chemicals often used to melt snow and ice can damage buildings and pavement, and the run-off can harm plants and bodies of water.
To be sure, the chlorides or salts currently used by many facility professionals to melt snow and ice likely will remain around for some time. Many are familiar with their use. In addition, salt typically requires less upfront investment than some other options.
At the same time, more facility managers are considering ways to adjust traditional snow and ice removal methods to reduce their impact on the environment. They're also looking into new options that are entering the market. "As buildings have become more sustainable, facilities professionals now are thinking more about their environmental impact outside the building," says Nate Clemmer, chief executive officer with SynaTek Solutions.

Branch Creek Partners With Rodale Institute
Organizations Collaborate to Advance Certified Organic Growing
SOUDERTON, Pa., June 13, 2018 – Branch Creek CEO Nate Clemmer announces a professional partnership between Branch Creek and Rodale Institute, citing the organizations' shared commitment to the advancement of scalable, regenerative certified organic farming.
"Rodale Institute is an organic industry pioneer and esteemed source of knowledge, and its team has worked closely with Branch Creek as we've developed our product line. This is a natural partnership for Branch Creek as we strive to make organic growing more accessible and more commonplace," says Clemmer.
Branch Creek inputs put scalable organic growing in reach of farmers, bridging the gap between the demand for organic crops and the realities of organic production. Its liquid and granular fertilizers are designed to do better by water, soil, and living things.
Rodale Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to pioneering organic farming through research and outreach. For nearly 70 years, the Institute has been researching the best practices of organic agriculture and sharing findings with farmers and scientists worldwide.
"Consumer demand for organic food is at an all time high, yet only one percent of American farmland is certified organic. Companies like Branch Creek are much-needed catalysts of change, providing a bridge and solution-based products that help farmers transition from conventional to organic practices. By restoring farmers' soil and bringing its microbiology back to life, we're not only mitigating climate change and considering human health; we're creating massive financial opportunities," says Jeff Tkach, Rodale Institute's Chief Growth Officer.

Montco company pushing organic alternatives for tackling weeds, grubs – and ice.
By John George – Senior Reporter, Philadelphia Business Journal - Original article
Nate Clemmer was in the backyard of his new house five years ago when he came to a realization.
"The house is adjacent to a creek," he said. "One day, I was out pushing my spreader putting down fertilizer. It hit me that there was no question a part of what I was spreading would go into that creek. So I stopped and decided to look for alternatives.
Clemmer knows the fertilizer industry well. He is president of SynaTek Soultions, an 18-year-old Souderton company that specializes in products and technologies used by the golf, landscape, agriculture and ice melt industries.
"I couldn't find anything that I was comfortable with in terms of performance and price," he said. "So I started talking with people. We work with a lot of organic chemists and what I kept hearing was they didn't have anything today, but they were working on it."
That journey eventually led to a new line of products for SynaTek.
The name of the body of water he wanted to protect — Branch Creek — is also the name of a new SynaTek brand launched this year. Branch Creek is focused on marketing environmentally friendly fertilizers and products for lawns, commercial and government properties, and athletic fields and facilities including golf courses.
"We will still sell synthetic products and we will do it unapologetically," Clemmer said. "But as a company, we can't not recognize new technology and a better way of doing things."
With Branch Creek, he said, he can "bridge the gap" between synthetic and organic products used to control weeds and improve crop yields.
Clemmer said a traditional customer may not want to switch to all organic products, but it would make business sense to consider converting a portion of the field for organic food production — which has proven its value when considering how many people are willing to pay a premium for organic fruits and vegetables.
"We can have a business discussion about diversification and risk management," he said. "We haven't converted a lot of [customer] acres yet, but that is where we are headed. A business owner with 1,000 acres may want to convert 100 to organic. It would be a bad business decision not to consider it."
With Branch Creek, he said, the company wants to accomplish two primary goals: Bridging the gap between the demand for organic products and its ability to supply it, and raising awareness about "what goes in our soil affects our water."
Clemmer said his company is now focusing its sales effort for its Branch Creek lawn care products on its larger commercial customers, but long-term plans include sales to homeowners. The company is looking at creating a consumer lawn care program with different organic products for controlling weeds and harmful insects and promoting healthy yards for homeowners next year.
SynaTek, which generates annual revenues of about $40 million and employs a staff of about 50 full-time equivalents, was formed in 2003 by Clemmer's father Ken Clemmer in a partnership with Billy Willard and Bob Willard. The Willards lead Willard Agri-Service, which continues to serve as SynaTek's manufacturing partner.
The business was once part of Moyer & Son's agricultural business, which was sold to Timac North America in 2001. Timac North America is the U.S. subsidiary of Timec Agro, an international agricultural products company based in France.
Timec was not interested in the Moyer & Son plant nutrient division, the business unit Ken Clemmer was part of that sold products to non-farm customers such as golf courses operators and commercial and residential property owners. Ken Clemmer, rather than take another position with Moyer & Sons [now Moyer Indoor/Outdoor] or retire, negotiated a deal to take over the division. "He wanted to see if he could grow the business on his own," Nate Clemmer said.
SynaTek was initially formed to manufacture and sell synthetic fertilizers, crop, grass seed and equipment to golf courses and large lawn care companies. Ken Clemmer served as Synatek's president up until July 2016 when Nate took over.
Today Synatek's other brands, in addition to Branch Creek, are SynaTek Reach, which formulates and produces liquid and granular plant nutrients; Ecotronics, the company's equipment technology arm; and Secure Winter Products, which markets innovative and environmentally friendly ice melt technologies.
In Janaury, the company began selling Entry, a chloride-free de-icer it says can melt ice in as little as 30 seconds. The product, Clemmer said, is a competitively-priced and better-performing alternative to granular chloride salts that are harmful to the environment, irritate pets, and get tracked into offices and homes.
Clemmer said while the company, working with its industry partners, developed Entry as an environmentally friendly alternatives, it turned out to work better and faster than its own salt-based de-icer products.
Among Synatek's commercial customers for Entry is the Denver Broncos, which used the de-icing and anti-icing fluid at the team's headquarters at The UCHealth Training Center in Englewood, Colo., this past winter.
SynaTek Solutions Announces Partnership with NFL's Denver Broncos for use of Entry™ Biodegradable Deicing Solution
SOUDERTON, PA, February 15, 2018 – SynaTek Solutions has announced that the National Football League's Denver Broncos Football Club has selected its Entry™ deicing and anti-icing fluid for use at the team's headquarters at the UCHealth Training Center in Englewood, Colo.
Entry provides users many advantages over the use of traditional calcium, sodium and magnesium chloride granular products. "When tracked into a facility, all chloride granular deicers leave a white residue that can dull the finish of floors and fade the color of carpets," said Nate Clemmer, CEO and Managing Partner of SynaTek Solutions. "Calcium and magnesium chloride-based products coat floors with an oily, slippery residue that damages wax and urethane finishes and poses a safety risk." Entry's neutral pH formulation uses potassium formate, the salt of BASF's Formic Acid technology, to eliminate tracking, reducing near-term labor costs associated with manual cleaning.
Calcium and magnesium chloride-based products coat floors with an oily, slippery residue that damages wax and urethane finishes and poses a safety risk.
The new deicing and anti-icing fluid also is an eco-friendly, non-corrosive deicing alternative. Granular chloride products are all hygroscopic, meaning they draw moisture from the atmosphere. They are harmful if swallowed by people or pets and will damage turf, ornamental plants and waterways. Potassium formate deicers are 100% chloride free and are readily biodegradable. They are safer for pets, plants, metals and concrete.
Entry melts ice faster than chloride-based granular products, which take, a minimum of three to five minutes to achieve an acceptable melt – and as much as 10 minutes. Potassium formate, enables Entry to increase the speed of snow/ice melt to about 30 to 50 seconds by reducing the freezing point to approximately minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
Entry is easy to apply and is a cost-effective deicing and anti-icing product. Most users will achieve a lower application cost per 1,000 sq. ft. with liquids than with granular deicers.
SynaTek Solutions markets Entry to snow professionals and facility managers through its Secure Winter Products brand and to consumers through Branch Creek. Entry was introduced in the United States in June 2017. For more information, visit http://securewinterproducts.com or https://chloridefree.com.

Susan Alcorn was born January 11, 1846, in Echo, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, a daughter of George Beck of that county. She came to Jefferson County in 1865, soon after her marriage to Jesse Alcorn. Her husband was a Veteran of the Civil War and had served with Company B, 78th PA Volunteers.
She has made her home here with her husband until his death in 1899.
Susan and Jesse were the parents of nine children, among them being Mrs. S. E. Ballentine of Summerville, Mrs. William Sowerby of Zelinople, Wade H., of Duquesne, William G. and Arthur B., both of Brookville.
She died in Brookville, PA, on October 21, 1918, and was buried in the new Brookville Cemetery beside her husband. | {

A$AP Ferg, Rich The Kid and Lil Uzi Vert link up on DJ Carnage's "WDYW."
Trap/EDM DJ Carnage's "WDYW" begins almost identically to A$AP Ferg's "Work," so it's only right that he got the A$AP Mob rapper on the track. Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert also guest, rounding out a turnt-up collab that's sure to be a hit in the clubs.
After opening with that Eastern-sounding synth melody, a truly oppressive 808 pattern is added in as Uzi warbles some punch drunk bars before adopting a slight patois for a hook. Ferg is next up, and yet again, he finds a new, exciting way to flow. RTK provides the triplets and Bando talk that we've come to expect from QC's artists. | {

What is an oxygen concentrator? How does it work?
An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that delivers pure oxygen into the body of a patient by means of a nasal cannula or mask. It takes in air from the surroundings, compresses it, removes the nitrogen from it via a filter and sieve beds leaving 87-95% of oxygen in the air. This oxygen is then delivered to the patient.
What is the difference between portable and stationary oxygen concentrator?
Stationary oxygen concentrators are larger and heavier compared to portable oxygen concentrators. They also provide high flow rate and are recommended for patients who require substantial oxygen supply. Stationary oxygen concentrators deliver upto 5 or 10 liters of oxygen per minute while portable models supply 1 to 2 liters per minute. Portable oxygen concentrators can even be carried on-flight by air travelers. An FAA ruling allows FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators to be carried on airlines.
What is the advantage of an oxygen concentrator over an oxygen cylinder?
A home oxygen concentrator is safer and more cost-effective when compared to a traditional oxygen cylinder. Now there is no need to carry around heavy and unwieldy oxygen cylinders. Plus, oxygen is readily available with a concentrator and, unlike an oxygen tank, an oxygen concentrator allows unlimited supply of oxygen and the patient can never run out of oxygen. Also, there is no risk of leakage. Another major benefit is the ease with which one can carry it around, even when flying.
What is OPI or Oxygen Purity Indicator?
OPI or Oxygen Purity Indicator is an internal sensing mechanism in Philips Respironics Oxygen Concentrators which notifies when the purity of Oxygen delivered by the device falls below the threshold limit. This ensures patient safety and timely maintenance of device if needed.
Should I opt for a 5 Litre Per Minute Oxygen Concentrator or 10 Litre Per Minute?
This depends on nature of requirement of patient. In most chronic cases, a flow rate of upto 5 Litre Per Minute is considered sufficient. Most often, a flow rate higher than 5 Litre Per Minute, or upto 10 Litre Per minute is needed in cases with high critical condition. It is not recommended to manage any patient with high flow requirement at home, and a hospital environment is more suited in this case. You must consider purity of device in combination with the litre per minute flow rate. Philips Respironics and DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrators deliver oxygen concentrator at 90% - 96% which is a good purity index. Opting for a 10 Litre Oxygen Concentrator with purity less than 80-90% is not beneficial as it will not deliver high purity oxygen at higher flow rates.
If you're still having more questions, feel free to reach out to us. We would be glad to get in touch with you.

The Seaborne debacle

Not much going on at Dover either. Well nothing apart from some staged drive about in a few trucks that didnt even go into the port. According to Philip Hammond it would take years to ready Dover for a no deal Brexit and what have they done? Absolutely sweet FA.
I am sure a Brexiteer will be along in a minute to say it will all be fine.

Seaborne Ferry contract scrapped
The £13.5 million contract with Seaborne Freight, the ferry company with no ships and t&c's copied from a takeaway menu, has been scrapped.
Time to scrap this entire Brexit fiasco and put all Wrexiters on one of Seabornes invisible 'ferries' with Failing Graying......send 'em off to live out their dream on the Goodwin Sands.

Pillar of the forums
You need to read your own links the ships were to be supplied by Arklow shipping a well respected shipping company with lots of ships it seems they withdrew from the venture and the contract became impossible to complete so it has been withdrawn. Makes sense to me no ships no contract but of course the remain clique didn't want to report that.
Sunk from the outset. Like the rest of 'em he's just been wasting time shuffling the deckchairs around on the Titanic.
teflon2 - 2019-02-09 6:35 PM
Teflon......that "ship" sailed long ago and was widely reported at the time in the media. Seaborne should never have even been on the cards at all. It was absolute mind boggling lunacy to even consider contracting a company with no equipment and worse still, no previous history (apart from extremely dodgy dealings and in debt to HMRC). It was akin to offering a multi million pound contract to an ex-con with a bucket and spade to go and dig the channel tunnel. Not to mention the total farce over Ramsgate port...which UK government will need to pay the Dutch company who dredged it.....all for no reason.
Posted: 10 February 2019 10:56 AM
I dont see how Arklow could have been of much use anyway unless it was for transporting containers and they do not posses any roll off roll on ferries.

Maybe you're right, Rich, but he doesn't exactly have a glowing record as a minister, does he. What you say above is a recipe for the mediocre. If he is suitable ministerial material, what does that say for the other 649 MP's? Forgive the odd mistake or error of judgement OK, but keep forgiving serial misjudgements? Surely, he has to go?

The same bloke dished out a £200 million contract to Carillion despite the warnings, only for Carillion to ho into very 'convenient' (for some) liquidation. EY financial services were appointed by HS2 Ltd to assess Carillion's finances, but had also been hired by the construction company! PwC insolvency still has people working on the Carillion case at the rate of £350ph per employee.
The Seaborne debacle was doomed from the outset and anyone could see that. Grayling claimed throughout that "due diligence" had been conducted before awarded Seaborne the contract, yet continually refused to show it. How the hell can you do 'due diligence' on a company with no previous experience, no ferries, and no business records other than unpaid debt? I think the public has a right to see what governments so called 'due diligence' on Seaborne was and it begs the question, how on earth are these 'pop up' companies even being considered for contracts let alone being given one.
Edited by Bulletguy 2019-02-10 4:41 PM
I'm really miffed I have just wasted 5 mins. of my life looking though your posts to find when that ship had sailed only to find that the only reference you have made was a link 19 mins before I posted what a waste
Tef.....everyone knew Seaborne was a dead duck in the pond, apart from Grayling and his cronies. I'm staggered anyone couldn't see how utterly insane it was.....and we wonder why we've become the laughing stock not just of Europe, but the world.
My information was that despite all the diatribe to the opposite Arklow shipping was the partner that has a large quantity of ships and is a respected company when they removed their support the project became inoperable. Although I agree that the contract should not have been awarded to Seaborne there was at the time ships available and no doubt paperwork to that effect..
Arklow has a fleet of 45 ships. Impressive eh......trouble is they're all bulk cargo carriers for grain etc. They have no RoRo ferries. I'm not surprised they pulled out, more surprised they got involved with Seaborne as it didn't take more than a few mouse clicks to see the dubious characters they were dealing with. Perhaps one of Arklows office juniors eventually decided to do some due diligence on Seaborne rather than taking the word of Grayling and government.
Like ive been saying until I am blue in the face. Nobody hires roll on roll off ferries of the type used in the channel.
May has "full confidence" in Failing Grayling, now flailing around on the deck of the Titanic. The National Audit Office now reveal Failings department knew back in December that Seaborne was unable to meet the DoT's economic and financial standing eligibility...yet Failing went full steam ahead because he thought Seaborne was "novel and exceptional".

Like when there was the snap election and some of you on here reckoned it would be a white wash? I still maintain that No Deal is dead and it would be assuming Parliament are not just locked in the dungeon like they seem to be at the moment. As for Labour being in charge before Brexit well thats still a possibility as well. Its not misinformation its opinion based on the current facts as we know them. Your comparison to what I have said to what the Vote leave campaign said during the referendum is wrong as they just blatantly lied, every day. I also havent broken the law unlike them. (well at least as far as Brexit is concerned){
Joe public's mistake at the election was thinking Brexit was a done deal.........and reverted to tribalism .....
Plus the Leave campaign are no more guilty of breaking the law than our Remoaner establishment .......
The Remoaner establishment has spent far more than the leave campaign ............and they still are with Channel 4's Cumberbitch starring in their latest Losers propaganda bitchfest .........
The Electoral Commission found Leave guilty and fined them...this makes the result of the 2016 null and void and if the UK was a Democracy this referendum would have been declared void and re-run immediately... Remain was not found guilty of fraud by the Electoral Commission despite their examination of the facts. If Leave had then won following a legitimate referendum all would be well and democracy would have been restored.....now democracy is dead in the UK and will only be restored when there is a re-run of a legitimate referendum.
Barryd999 - 2019-02-12 8:36 AM
Brilliant news......let the bunfight begin! Flailing should be locked up. Deport him to Calais!!
Just listen to this....this is how wacked out Brexiteers are. This guy phoned into James O'Brien insisting the contract deal is still in place!! When James asked where he had this information from the caller goes off on a wild rant and tries deflection mode (sound familiar? ).....a major fail so insults O'Brien and slams the phone down!

Why do these nuggets set themselves up to be slaughtered by JOB? They need rounding up and carting off to the funny farm.
Barryd999 - 2019-02-13 11:45 AM
It's not difficult is it? They're in a state of permanent denial so much so to the point you get planks like that phone caller. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
This farce just goes from bad to worse.
Government admits it has 'run out of time' to find ships to bring emergency supplies after no-deal
Officials have admitted they have "run out of time" to find ships to bring extra emergency supplies after a no-deal Brexit, following the Seaborne Freight fiasco.
No "large amount of further additional capacity" will be available across the Channel before the end of March, MPs were told – by either sea or rail.
The admission follows the embarrassment of the cancelled £13.8m contract handed to Seaborne – a firm with no ships – which has sparked calls for Chris Grayling, the transport secretary, to be sacked.
"It would not be possible to complete procurement and make it operational for 29 March," the department for transport's director general admitted."
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-no-deal-planning-emergency-supplies-seaborne-freight-chris-grayling-a8777766.html
Is Seaborne being operated by a bunch of batsh1t crazy Brexiteers? It seems so as they're in a state of denial. The wacko's are claiming they will "be reintroducing the Ramsgate to Ostend Freight Ferry service in the Spring of 2019".
It gets even more bonkers.
The new service will have a number of unique features and benefits designed to meet the needs of both operators and their drivers.
Free paddles? A limited edition photo of the phantom ferry fleet?
They're even advertising for staff at Ramsgate and Ostende. This must be a massive operation.

Democratic Republic of Congo has denied any manipulation of its figures for coronavirus cases and deaths
The debate erupted when health
authorities revealed the new COVID-19 results from DR Congo, which stands at 63
deaths out of 2,025 cases, most of them in the capital, Kinshasa. Thus far, 312
people have been recovered.
The vast Central African country, one
of the poorest in the world, reported its first case on 10 March. Late on
Friday, the government announced that a doctor and a hospital supervisor had
been charged and later released on accusations of misleading coronavirus data.
The arrests were made after "a
disagreement over a patient who died this month," the government news
release reported. The country's Council of Ministers met on Friday after
President Felix Tshisekedi asked the health minister to investigate rumours of
fake patient deaths linked to the virus.
"There is a hostile media
campaign being waged against our country by some international media, with the
intention of tarnishing its reputation in connection with the management of
COVID-19," the Council of Ministers said in the minutes of the meeting.
They also condemned the attacks on the
Kinshasa Coronavirus Prevention and Response Teams, urging the Minister of
Justice to act rigorously against the perpetrators of these acts".
Parliament, meanwhile, voted on Friday
to extend the state of emergency order by 15 days for the third time.

A team of Chinese medical experts that
arrived in Kinshasa earlier this month found no evidence that the number of
virus cases or deaths were distorted, Jean-Jacques Muyembe, DR Congo's
coronavirus front man, told a news conference on Friday.
"Cases are less severe here than in
Europe or the United States. We have a younger population that is more
resistant to infection," Muyembe said.
Zhu Jing, the Chinese ambassador to DR
Congo, said that the team of Chinese doctors did not notice any "alien
He said: "The hospitalized
patients are indeed suffering from a pandemic,." | {

I am a Hong Kong Business Traveler who has just come back from Singapore. I need to file a complaint to driver of Taxi Liscene No. SHD2663H – Name unknown – Male Driver at his 71 years with 4 children and 8 grand children at he stated. I took the Taxi from Marina Bay Sands Tower 3, at taxi stand, no advanced calling at around 1740pm on 21 Oct 2016 – Friday. I traveled from the hotel to the airport and at the ended, he charged me SGD38 which was completely overpriced. Along the road, he kept talking about how to write the claim form on taxi and his experiences. He said how he made additionally charges himself when he claimed company expenses. I was reading meters along the way, which was SGD14.66 from MBS to Taxi. When collecting money, he pressed a button and the billed became SGD31.88 and he said I needed to pay surcharge so the final bill was SGD38 . I had no ideas about the price so I paid. I felt something wrong so I then immediately asked other taxi drivers, they said maximum it is only SGD27…. At the end, it is not the problem about money, but it is the trust between driver and customers, my trust on local Singaporean. I am quite disappointed. I have just called Prime Taxi (1145am on 22nd Oct), no one picked up the phone. It is really bad experience with the city but I trust they are just the black sheep. I hope LTA and Prime Taxi can look into it and investigate. At the same time, I will share this case among all the social platform about Prime Taxi so everyone should try their best to avoid their service. | {

Home » Timeshare Law » European Law » The Consumer Rights Act 2015 Advice
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (herein referred to as the CRA) has reformed and consolidated the previous "unfair contract terms in consumer contracts" regulations accordingly the revocation and consolidation is outlined in Part 2 of the CRA which amends the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and when considering issues in business to consumer [B-C] contracts.
The regulations further revoke the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.
So, what's covered?
Consumer Contracts (not employment or apprenticeship business to business or more importantly consumer to consumer); and a pre-contractual notice to the extent that it relates to the rights or obligations between a trader and a consumer or purports to exclude or limit a trader's liability to a consumer.
The notice does not have to be in writing but is any communication or announcement as long as it is reasonable to assume it is intended to be seen or heard by a consumer.
The fact that notices are explicitly incorporated in the regulations, the written terms in the consumer contracts and notices must be transparent, in plain and intelligible language and legible (if expressed in text);
The scope of terms which may be assessed for fairness; and 3 new additions to the 'grey list' of terms which may be regarded as unfair (These are set out in Schedule 2 of the CRA).
General rules regarding express terms in a consumer contract or notice
must be transparent.
No exclusion or limitation for liability for death or
personal injury arising from negligence will be valid.
Where a clause is non-binding (because of being declared unfair) the rest of the contract will take effect as far as reasonable and practicable.
Where a term can have duplicitous meaning, the interpretation most favourable to the consumer will always prevail.
What are the general rules about (fairness of contract terms and notices)
The Contract terms and notices must be fair.
An unfair term or notice will not be binding on the consumer unless the consumer overtly chooses to be bound by it.
A term will be unfair if,
contrary to good faith requirements,
it causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations under the contract and to the detriment of the consumer.
A term of a consumer contract may not be assessed for fairness where it specifies the main subject matter of the contract or the assessment is of the appropriateness of the price payable, provided the term is transparent (in plain and intelligible language and legible where written) and prominent (brought to the consumer's attention in such a way that the average consumer would be aware of it).
The terms which may be regarded as unfair
Schedule 2 of the CRA sets out an "indicative and non-exhaustive" list of terms in consumer contracts which may be regarded as unfair.
This includes three new 'grey list' terms:
disproportionately high charges where the consumer decides not to conclude or perform the contract or for services which have not been supplied, even where the consumer cancels the contract;
terms allowing the trader to determine the characteristics or subject matter after the consumer is bound; and
terms allowing the trader to determine the price after the consumer is bound.
A term of a consumer contract must be regarded as unfair if it has the effect that the consumer bears the burden of proof with respect to compliance by a distance supplier or an intermediary with an obligation under any enactment or rule implementing the Distance Marketing Directive (relating to the distance marketing of consumer financial services) | {

Most great organisations had small beginnings and the Australian Caravan Club (ACC) is no exception. When Max Watkins and Grant Stable started chatting during a happy hour at the Golden Beach Caravan Park, Qld, they both recognised the need for a nation-wide body that could become the active voice of RVers and address various problems within the RV industry. After a couple more drinks – in true Aussie style – it was agreed to establish the Australian Caravan Club (ACC), which is now in its 10th year and boasts 4500 members around the country.
The ACC plays a unique role in the world of RVing which is a rapidly growing industry. Many small caravan clubs, dotted all over the country, serve an important purpose but their size limits their influence on a national level. The ACC seeks change at a government level – and that's exactly what's needed.
Working with national and regional bodies to improve the RV lifestyle.
As the club enters its second decade, we look back at some of the key people behind this national organisation, recognising that each person's contribution is voluntary and no one receives any remuneration.
Tom Smith was the ACC chairman at the time of writing, however, at the recent ACC National Muster in Shepparton, Tom announced his resignation from the chair. An ACC member since April 2007, Tom believes the organisation plays a pivotal role in the RV world. "There are many local caravan clubs which are great at organising social activities, but we needed a national organisation driven from the grassroots to represent the RV community," he said.
The way the ACC has been set up is unique. "The board consists of six people with two people being re-elected every year. As each member has a vote, it means every person has access to the board. Accountability is paramount," he said.
After being elected chairman in 2011, Tom started organising Chairman's Musters to give members the opportunity to give him feedback about any issue that affects the RV lifestyle. "Most people couldn't come to me so I decided to go to them so they could chat to me during a Happy Hour," he said.
Members sign a Code of Conduct and display an ACCESS sticker on their caravan or camper trailer to indicate they are serious about doing the right thing by local councils and communities.
Rob Tudor took up the position as the ACC's webmaster in 2006 and added the role of treasurer in 2008. With more than 30 years of IT experience, Rob has developed a comprehensive and dynamic website containing a wealth of information for its members and those interested in finding out more. The website is the place to go to for the latest RV news, calendar, tips and tools, a members' directory and a Members' Forum.
When asked about the club's achievements, Rob doesn't hesitate. "The FarmStay Scheme was introduced, where members with properties allow other members to camp free of charge on their property for up to three days." The scheme has been very successful and new friendships have been forged as a result.
"The steady growth of the club has resulted in 45 branches spread all over Australia and each of these typically hold four to eight musters per year. In addition, the ACC organises an annual National Muster which is attended by more than 400 members." For the first time in the ACC's history, the 2018 National Muster will be held in Western Australia, after an overwhelming response to a survey indicating that many members were willing to travel the distance to attend this social gathering.
A man of hidden talents, Alan is a pilot and built his own aircraft. He also edits the ACC's quarterly magazine, 'The Nomad' . After 35 years in the telecommunications industry, Alan enjoys his role. "The preparation of each issue gives me the opportunity to keep my writing and IT skills sharp, whilst giving a great deal of personal satisfaction in being able to present to our members a professional look and feel to their magazine, which is now presented as both a hard copy or an electronic publication – depending on member preference," he said.
During its 10-year existence, the ACC has grown into a national body with a voice that is heard throughout the RV industry. The club also boasts an extensive Members' Benefits Program with as many as 95 caravan parks offering discounts, not to mention the many other member benefits.

This past June, the sailing community marked the passing of Ted Hood, a true innovator who played a central role in making the sport what it is today through his work in sailmaking and cruising hull and rig design.
His Marblehead, Massachusetts, based company Hood Sailmakers, which he founded with his father, was a pioneer and long-time leader in the manufacture of Dacron sails, while his many designs strove to find the perfect balance between speed, comfort and safety afloat.
Hood was also a true gentleman of the sport; a man of few words whose word was his bond, and the winning skipper of the 1974 America's Cup aboard Courageous.
Few, however, knew Hood well, and even at the zenith of his career, he could be painfully quiet at times, something his colleagues and friends say was largely a protective measure. "He said very little but he reacted to things. His eyebrows were very expressive. He wasn't shy like Olin Stephens, but he didn't want to give anything away, because he knew so much," says yachting historian and author John Rousmaniere.
Dev Barker, one of Hood's oldest friends who wrote extensively about Hood in the 1960s and 1970s as an editor for Yachting magazine, says Hood became much more relaxed in social settings as he got older, but that "for a long time it was very difficult for him." Barker adds that during his time as race committee chairman for the 1970 America's Cup, he shared a number of experiences with Hood that not only illustrated Hood's high regard for the sport, but his unique stature within it. | {

On the possibility of human extinction
July 23, 2016 benfell
I've been contemplating the question of how I might present a brief introduction on what, as a critique on our system of social organization, is really a rather large topic: vegetarian ecofeminism. I'm due to present this at a scholarly conference in September, so it's not too early to begin thinking about it.
In the abstract, among other things, I say "that our relations of domination among humans are inseparable from our domination of the environment and of non-human animals." And, as written, I think the abstract illustrates that there are a lot of handles on this topic.[1] So the obvious question is, which one shall I use?
Or maybe, I could just begin with the question of human extinction. This has been making its way into mainstream media recently and there's been some scholarly work done on it but when I first heard about it, I was a Ph.D. student at California Institute of Integral Studies. I asked one of my professors in private about the possibility that humans could go extinct, she nodded, said yes, and the expression on her face made it very clear to me she wasn't joking. At the time, finding something in print on the matter was rather more difficult.
The first I saw stemmed from a notorious interview that an Australian microbiologist, Frank Fenner, gave to the Australian newspaper,[2] and got picked up by a physics web site[3] and by the Daily Mail.[4] As sources go, this isn't terribly promising stuff. Even the original article noted that Fenner's colleagues were rather less pessimistic.
And that, of course, is a part of the problem: As Clint Eastwood might put it, do you feel lucky? We'll get back to this question of luck and I promise that, even with a .44 Magnum pointed at his head, the "punk" that Eastwood's character, "Dirty" Harry Callahan, was addressing[5] faced better odds than we do.
Since that Frank Fenner interview, given in 2010,[6] I've started to find a bit more.[7] I'm still not seeing precise scenarios but one piece of the argument for human extinction simply boils down to sustainability. Things can't continue as they are, so something has to change.
Which leads to the other piece of the argument. We see no sign that humans are responding to the need for that change anywhere near adequately. To put that another way, we are failing to adapt to a changing environment. Which is a pretty classic way of saying we're going extinct.
But then there are all those Mad Max movies I never watched with post-apocalyptic scenarios in which a fraction of the human race survives in something even more of a dog-eat-dog social scenario than we already have. This is scary stuff. More seriously, then-defense secretary Chuck Hagel wrote in a 2014 report documenting Pentagon preparations that climate change "will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict. They will likely lead to food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, and destruction by natural disasters in regions across the globe."[8] Maybe all that happens before we get to the Mad Max scenario.
But even all this assumes that the earth or even a tiny fraction of the earth's surface remains habitable. Here's the problem: We don't know that that will be the case. From a systems perspective, climate change means that the stabilizing feedbacks in the present ecosystem are overwhelmed by self-reinforcing feedbacks as we reach a "tipping point." As we pass that "tipping point," the old system is replaced with something different as those self-reinforcing feedbacks may now become stabilizing feedbacks in the new system. And we don't know what that something new and different will be.
Which is where that Dirty Harry question comes in. Are you feeling lucky? There are a lot more potential systems that won't support human life than potential systems that will. Which is why we might not survive at all. Not any of us, not anywhere on earth.
Now all of this is a bit oversimplistic. We don't know, really, how far we have to go before we hit that tipping point. We don't know even that there's only one tipping point or, if there are indeed several tipping points, that it's valid to treat several tipping points as a single one.
But it's fairly safe to say that we as a species should be thinking about how we reached this dilemma and what we're going to do about it. A large part of the answer to this lies in how our attitude toward our environment changed. We've become a lot more comfortable than we used to be. As technology has developed, we've come to dominate (temporarily) an ecosystem that once upon a time, we had no choice but to adapt to and thus live in harmony with.[9] As we got to be more comfortable—the Paleolithic was pretty brutal—our population began to grow, we claimed territory for settled agriculture, and we developed an authoritarian hierarchical system of social organization.[10] And we got into a cycle where we needed ever more land and resources to support an ever-growing population, which is to say that human society became exploitative and unsustainable not only of natural resources but of human beings.[11]
Perhaps most destructively of all, our livestock practices not only exploit animals who suffer greatly, but contribute substantially to climate change and water pollution[12] and consume vast quantities of energy, land, and feed to produce, in terms of a ratio of inputs to outputs, minuscule amounts of food when compared with the same ratio for plant-based foods.[13] And we do this even as people go hungry not only in the developing world,[14] but even in the allegedly richest country in the world.[15]
That technology, however, while perhaps making some individual activities more efficient or more powerful has never reduced our species' overall ecological footprint. Some even think that technology solves individual problems by creating more dangerous ones down the road.[16] At the very least,
history shows that technological progress has always contributed to the scope and intensity of human impact on the environment. Besides that, the rebound effect or the Jevons Paradox is often likely to cancel positive effects of technical progress — from the steam engine and coal in 19th century England, to the automotive and information technology sectors in more recent times (Luzzati and Franco 2005).[17]
Meanwhile, in the social sphere, in which I include the political and economic spheres, we continue to be bedeviled by all manner of bigotry, bias, and discrimination which function to 1) divide the colonized non-elite against each other, 2) divert attention from the elite and their oppression of the colonized non-elite, 3) undermine a unified challenge to the elite,[18] 4) further impoverish the poor and deny them any significant opportunity for social mobility,[19] and 5) damage not only incarcerated individuals but their families and communities,[20] with 6) a criminal injustice system that is especially unjust toward the poor.[21] Claims of progress on race must be tempered when we confront the criminal injustice system and police shootings, both of which disproportionately affect Black men.[22] Angela Davis links slavery and lynchings to the death penalty.[23]
Claims of progress on gender must be tempered when we confront pay discrepancies, rape culture, and a persistent effort to deprive women of access to abortion, which is to say that in our society we continue to seek control of women's bodies and specifically their reproductive capacities. Which resembles how we treat animals:
Cows are forcibly and repeatedly impregnated so that their bodies will produce the milk intended to sustain their calves. People then steal both the milk and the calves. . . . Rape puts into action the idea that women and children are objects that can be used for pleasure without regard for their own wishes or subjective experiences."[24]
So we're dominating each other horribly, we're dominating animals horribly, and we're dominating the environment horribly, and the recognition of a relationship between these aspects of domination forms the core of vegetarian ecofeminism. How's that working out? It looks like with a strong possibility of our own extinction. If we have any sense, we might want to make a change in that.

The Army Painter is updating their popular range of Battlefields XP Tufts. Army Painter tufts look like the real thing; they have dedicated a lot of time and effort to ensure that the consumer can create stunning bases in no time.
The new packaging format better shows the new higher quality tufts, making them easier to sell by showing off their varied sizes and realistic colors. The new format is also much more user friendly, with individual tufts adhered to a piece of paper - making it easy for the user to choose and glue them to the base of their miniatures.
Not only has the quality of the packaging been improved, the quantity as increased as well so that each blister pack contains 77 tufts - but the price remains the same! | {

Deep in the Pennsylvania hills, a cemetery for those who died during exorcism remains a dark secret for the church. In 1671, hundreds of men, women, and children suffered in bloody, torturous rituals at the hands of priests unable to contain the evil of the possessed. Were these possessions real, or is the story a hoax to cover up the sins of the deranged priests thirsty for human blood? Bill and his team of cynical paranormal investigators plan to find out the truth. Armed with the church's historical record, they set out into the wilderness to uncover this series of forgotten atrocities. Alternately gut-punching hilarious and brutally violent, The Cemetery takes the best elements of the old-school slasher film and pushes them to the edge. | {

Greetings fellow traveler! In this article we discuss how to set up your Mobius as your Playback Engine within Pro Tools. Before we proceed, please make sure that you have already installed Pro Tools and all relevant drivers.
First, launch your "Audio Midi Setup" utility and enable "Pro Tools Aggregate I/O" as your Sound Output device.
Then, check the "Use" box corresponding to your "Audeze Mobius 3D 8Ch" device. If your Mobius is connected over BT, it will be listed as "Audeze Mobius 3D BT 2;" if your Mobius is connected over Aux, then you will need to select "Built-in Output." Once you have enabled Mobius, please disable all other devices within the "Pro Tools Aggregate I/O" device.
NOTE: Your Mobius will be identified as two separate devices, one for input and one for output. Please make sure that you select the output device, not the input device, when performing this step. When connected over USB, the output device will have the number 8 listed in the "Out" column. When connected over BT or Aux, the output device will have the number 2 listed in the "Out" column.
NOTE: If you get an error message reading "Could not complete your request because Pro Tools could not set sample rate to specified value," please temporarily change your "Playback Engine" to "Built-in Output," then relaunch your project. Once the project has loaded, you may set your "Playback Engine" back to "Pro Tools Aggregate I/O" and allow the project to restart. | {

Born teacher finds her roots the entrepreneurial way
Judy Janse van Rensburg comes from a distinguished family of teachers who can trace their lineage several generations back to the time of governesses, but she herself only lasted six months in her first teaching job.
"It was the system that got to me," says the Kempton Park based entrepreneur who has recently taken over an innovative franchise aimed at teaching children arithmetic and analytical thinking through the use of a Chinese abacus.
Her complaints about the traditional school system are typical of true entrepreneurs who find themselves trapped in a job. She simply could not stand the staid old ways of thinking and doing that she knew can and should be done better.
Judy, a B Com graduate, left schooling and went to work for a few private companies before she decided to dedicate a few years at home raising her children. It was here that her entrepreneurial nature started emerging that would eventually take her back to her roots and her first love, teaching.
In between child care and housekeeping, she was constantly busy with crafts and cooking for home-industry shops. Things got serious when she started selling a range of aloe-based skin-care products. Soon she became the area node in the company's network-marketing system and at one stage was turning over R1million a month – all from home. The experience taught her a lot about marketing and selling.
When the company decided to change the commission structure, however, she found it no longer worth while, and decided to try her hand at teaching again. This time, she joined a primary school as a maths teacher. Again, she found the system very wasteful and frustrating, but the experience gave her an important basis upon which to build her next business.
Responding to a newspaper advertisement, she made contact with a little-known franchise called UCMAS, and was intrigued. The method, Chinese in origin, uses a simple abacus to teach arithmetic and analytical thinking to children between 4 and 13. By learning how to visualise the abacus in their mind's eye, they can do sums at astounding speed. This builds confidence which boosts all their other subjects.
Judy promptly bought the rights to the franchise for the Kempton Park area and got started by asking a teacher to recommend fifteen sets of parents whom she went to see one by one. She signed up no fewer than twelve. "By that time I was pretty good at selling," she says.
But soon the system started selling itself. Among her first intake was a boy who stood on the verge of being expelled from his school. The UCMAS turned his school work around and caused such a change in his attitude towards school that he later became a prefect. It is not just Judy who believes that the change was due to her system. The boy's mother persuaded no fewer than 30 other parents to sign up.
All the while, Judy was building an educational centre at a centre in Kempton Park called Wakker Jakkers in which she offered all sorts of extra lessons that complemented the UCMAS teaching. Her staff grew to eight. She had about 80 UCMAS clients and a further 40 who signed up for other extra lessons.
But while her own franchise grew, the franchisor, which held the South African licence for the system from the Malaysian-based international head office, ran into trouble. Just as Judy prepared for the end of the system in South Africa and got ready to concentrate on her non-franchise lessons, the Malaysian head office approached her, as the strongest franchisee, to take over the South African license.
Judy did some intensive research and confirmed that the Malaysia company was indeed the biggest and most esteemed abacus-based teaching system in the world. Locally, she knew that there was a huge untapped market, because the previous licence holder had marketed it only to a very limited set of communities.
The trouble was finding the roughly half a million rand she needed to buy the country licence. The banks wouldn't touch the idea, and an official at the one development-finance agency she approached suggested that she rather ask her husband for the finance.
One of the best moves she made, says Judy, was to team up with a franchising consultant who had worked with the UCMAS group before. She proved to be invaluable, not least for her suggestion of approaching Business Partners, which agreed to finance the purchase of the license.
It has been a difficult first year as franchisor, says Judy. She has had to sort out a lot of problems left by the previous licence holder. She has focused almost exclusively on stabilising the 21 franchisees she took over. Fortunately, only three franchisees closed down in the transition process. Now she is ready for a strong marketing drive to build the group.
Judy says part of her strength as an entrepreneur is her "remarkable family". Her son, scarcely two years out of school, agreed to jump in and help out with the business when Judy had to leave for Malaysia to sign the contract. Her school-going daughter is a highly trained UCMAS instructor, and earns good pocket money teaching at one of the franchises. Her husband has meanwhile bought his own educational franchise which complements hers, and the two of them has formed one management team to run both side by side.
There is still a long way to go to build the UCMAS brand in South Africa, but Judy finds the entrepreneurial challenge combined with her love for teaching so satisfying that she cannot conceive of doing anything else. "My husband and I have decided never to retire," she jokes, "We'll just take longer and longer holidays." | {

At TriDelta we pride ourselves on proactively responding to market trends and also client feedback. We have had a few clients say; "I lost money, how come you made money?" when market performance was poor in bad market years. To date, this is just the way investment management fees are charged. TriDelta Financial has now decided to deal with this concern head on.
TriDelta Financial (tridelta.ca) and its Investment Counselling arm, TriDelta Investment Counsel (trideltainvestments.ca) will offer all clients with $500,000 or more of investment assets and a risk profile ranging from Balanced to Growth (minimum of 50% Equity and/or Alternative Investment asset mix to qualify), two options for fees. One is traditional while the other is a new innovation in the Canadian market.
The Partnership Fee is effectively – if you lose money over a year, your investment management fees will be returned to your account. Even if you have low returns (from 0% to under 3%) TriDelta will provide a partial refund of your management fee. On the other hand if you have strong returns, starting at 7%, you will pay a performance bonus.
The message is clear. If you do well, we do well. If your returns are low, we do not do well either. It aligns the interests of TriDelta Financial with our clients in a way that has simply not been found in the Canadian investment world.
If return is less than 0%, there is a refund of all traditional fees.
If return is between 0.00% and 2.99%, there is a refund of 0.5%.
If return is between 3.00% and 6.99%, the traditional fee applies.
If return is between 7.00% and 10.99%, there would be a 1% partnership fee.
If return is between 11.00% and 14.99%, there would be a 2% partnership fee.
If return is 15%+, there would be a 3% partnership fee.
The launch date on this TriDelta initiative is scheduled for Jan 1st 2017.
To participate in the Partnership Fee program, there is a 0.2% annual administrative fee charged. This fee covers the administrative costs of the program, and is not considered part of 'traditional fees'.
As you will appreciate this fee structure will only appeal to certain investors, but the important point is that we will offer this alternative subject to certain restrictions.
If you're interested in exploring this further, please contact your financial advisor or if you're not currently a client send a request to [email protected] and we will have a Wealth Advisor contact you to schedule a meeting.

It happened a couple of nights ago. It was quite sudden; no great fanfare. One moment I was scribbling away in my writing pad (admittedly I'd been scribbling for over an hour) and the next – at approximately midnight – I stopped and looked at the page. The End stared back at me. That is, The End of the first draft. But still an end of sorts.
It's taken me years to crush, blend and refine my original Scars & Stripes notes. And the result is, frankly, surprising. The truly fictional scenes took on a life of their own and in some ways became deeper and more revealing. Those based loosely (and some a little too closely) on personal experience will require radical changes after the first of many read throughs.
There's the familiar sense of a simultaneous high and low, of recognising that a milestone has been reached while at the same time being acutely aware of the distance still to be covered. For now, Scars & Stripes will be set to one side so that I'll be able to look at it objectively. All I do know is that I'll follow my writer friend Warren Stevenson's suggestion and rewrite the whole thing in the third person.
The next step is trickier.
Do I:
1. Re-edit thriller Standpoint as some of the feedback for sample material on www.youwriteon.com suggests the opening would benefit from tightening up.
2. Commence the second full edit of sequel thriller Line of Sight?
3. Go back to first novel Covenant and reduce it from a 142,000 word behemoth to something more manageable?
4. Start a new novel. At the moment, I'm torn between the third Thomas Bladen book, tentatively entitled False Positive or something a little different entitled The Caretaker, which might involve messrs. Bladen and O'Neill on the sidelines or even be the same book. But there'll be no sign of Harold Pinter (with thanks to Linda Wright).
Ah, writing; never a dull moment!
A planned day out
Or you could give yourself a big pat on the back, Derek and take a break:) It's really hard work writing a novel. Once you've taken a break, look at each one and pick the one you feel most excited about seeing in print. That's what I would do anyway, and well done!
Thanks Deb, I'm not sure it's been restful exactly, but I have been pondering my next step! | {

Q: How to demonstrate excute sql from web devtool? Because i saw a colleage wrote sql query in frontend and i want to demonstrate this is not a good practice and easy to be hacked.
Let say now there is a file example.js which you can search from devtool-> source -> open file,
and the content is:
...
...
...
const sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM UserDb";
excuteSql(sqlQuery);
...
...
I want to show him hacker might create a form or button from devtool then modify the sqlQuery to be "DELETE * FROM UserDb"; then run excuteSql(sqlQuery); to manipulate database.
but this is just my thought, how can i do to put a button or form to excute modified query in devtool to demonstrate it?
Thanks very much!

Priory in the City is the signature program we wish we had in high school!
We prototyped a summer initiative where students learned from business leaders in our community. After discovering that 100% of participants thought the program was valuable, we saw an opportunity to leverage our downtown location to provide real-world learning experiences for high school students.
We met with board trustees and community leaders to gain valuable insight on designing Priory in the City as a networking, mentoring and internship experience. We learned that scheduling was a challenge and students needed time to be at their internships, so we created a flexible school schedule.
Currently, we work with 10th - 12th graders. We coach sophomores on developing their passion, juniors on designing their path and seniors on delivering their personal brand.
My favorite part of Priory in the City is seeing students realize their strengths and passions. Often the recognition comes during a 1:1 coaching session when a student is developing her resume. Other times it comes when students are preparing their presentations and reflecting on who they are, their place in the world and how they contribute.
There are beautiful moments when students glimpse their potential and start to envision what is possible. The excitement and positive energy are contagious. Our Priory in the City initiative even inspired me to attend graduate school!
We look forward to growing this initiative at The Priory, and utilizing a similar approach for The Prep. | {

A woman who selflessly jumped into a marina to save an unconscious 91-year-old pensioner from drowning has been presented with a prestigious Bravery Award.
Sarah Cunnington, who works part-time at Mercia Marina in Willington, leapt into the water when Dennis Oates collapsed and fell into the marina.
Sarah, who called for help and held Dennis' head above water to stop him from drowning, was today presented with an East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) Bravery Award.
At the surprise event at Mercia Marina, she was also reunited with Dennis, 999 call handler Georgia Culligan who took the call and the Ambulance Technician Christa Calladine who came to help him.
On receiving the award, Sarah said: "This is so surreal. I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary, I was only doing what anyone would have done."
Dennis, who has lived on a house boat at Mercia Marina for five years and previously worked for the National Coal Board as a mechanic, spent four days at Royal Derby Hospital receiving treatment.
He has made a full recovery and was delighted to have the opportunity to thank Sarah for saving his life, and to thank the ambulance crew for caring for him.
He said: "Sarah is my number one heroine and my life-saver. Words fail me, I'm just so grateful.
The incident happened at 3.30pm on 5 May as Dennis walked back to his houseboat from the toilet block.
He said: "The last thing I recall is being halfway down the pathway, and then I blacked out. The next thing I knew was Sarah screaming blue murder for someone to help her.
Sarah explained that she was walking to her own houseboat when she saw Dennis fall into the water and wasn't moving, with his head under the water.
She said: "Dennis was unconscious with his face under the water. I scrambled down the bank and into the water which was chest height. I grabbed his jumper and pulled his shoulders up so his face was out of water, and I stood there shouting for help."
Several people helped to lift Dennis out of the water onto the pontoon and someone called for an ambulance. 999 call handler Georgia provided support over the phone until Paramedic Cheryl Scott and Technician Christa Calladine arrived at the Marina to care for Dennis and to take him to hospital.
Sarah said: "The ambulance crew were amazing. They were incredibly calm and professional and took it all in their stride."
The 999 call was Christa's first one for drowning and so she was pleased to meet Dennis and see that he was doing well.
She said: "He's looking much better than the last time we saw him, and it's lovely to see him in much better circumstances.
"Sarah really deserves this bravery award - she is a real superstar".
Following the incident, Sarah has now become a team leader of the First Aid Team at Mercia Marina so she can help even more people who need medical assistance.
Robert Neff, General Manager at Mercia Marina, said: "We would like to thank Sarah for her selfless and extremely brave actions which ultimately saved Dennis' life and we are thankful that he has now made a full recovery. | {

Il monte Egaleo, chiamato anche Aigaleo (), e conosciuto nell'antichità come Poikilon Oros (Ποικίλον Όρος), è una montagna situata nell'Attica, in Grecia. Si trova ad ovest di Atene, a sud-est di Eleusi e ad est dell'isola di Salamina. La maggior parte della montagna è composta da calcare. Rispetto all'Imetto è meno estesa. La maggior parte della foresta si trova a nord, dove si trova il monastero di Daphni. C'è anche un parco nelle sue estensioni settentrionali.
Durante la Battaglia di Salamina nel settembre del 480 a.C., il re persiano Serse si fece costruire sul Monte Egaleo un colossale trono per poter assistere dall'alto a quella che riteneva sarebbe stata una schiacciante vittoria.

449. Idea of the typical flower. In our idea of the typical flower, the perianth consists of two whorls of expanded floral leaves encircling and protecting the more delicate essential organs in their midst. The outer circle, calyx, is ordinarily green and far less conspicuous than the inner circle of highly colored leaves - the corolla.
451. Rules. The sepals of the calyx and petals of the corolla are, according to rule, equal in number and severally disconnected save by the torus on which they stand.
452. Resemblances. The sepals more nearly resemble true leaves in texture and color; but the petals in form. Both have veins and re-tain more or less the same venation which characterizes the grand division to which the plant belongs (§ 258).
453. Parts. Both blade and petiole are distinguishable in the floral leaves, especially in the petals. The blade or expanded part is here called limb or lamina; the petiolar part, when narrowed into a stalk, is called the claw.
454. Nature of the sepals. The sepals are more generally sessile, like bud-scales, and appear to represent the leaf-stalk only, with margins dilated like a sheathing petiole. In confirmation of this view, we find in some flowers, as the paeony and rose, the lamina also developed, but smaller than the petiolar part.
455. Forms of petals. In form or outline there is a general resemblance between the limb and the leaf. It is ovate, oval, lanceolate, obcordate, orbicular, etc. In margin it is generally entire. Some peculiar forms, however, should be noticed, as the bilobate petal of the chickweed, the pinna-tifid petal of mitrewort, the inflected petal of the Umbeliferae, the fan-shaped petal of pink, the fringed (fimbriate) petal of campion (silene stellata), the hooded sepal of Napellus, the saccate petal of Calceolaria, Cypripedium.
456. Nectary. The limb is, moreover, often distorted into a true nectary, spurred, as already shown (§ 434), or otherwise deformed, as in Napellus, Coptis, etc.
Forms of petals. 294, Butter-cup, showing the scale at base.
295. Mignonette, fringed at top.
296, Silene stellata, fringed and unguiculate. 297, Flower of Onmorhiza longistylis, petals inflected. 29S, Flower of Mitella diphylla, petals pectinate-pinna-tifld. 299, Petal of Cerastium nutans, 2-cleft.
457. Union. We have seen that the floral organs are often in various ways united. Considering their crowded state in the flower, we rather wonder that they do not always coalesce in their growth.
458. The calyx with united sepals was called by the early botanists monosepalous; the corolla with united petals was called monopetalous (µovoς, one - from the false idea that such an organ consisted of a single piece or leaf!). Opposed to these terms were polypetalous (πoλvς, many), petals distinct, and polysepalous, sepals distinct.
459. The monosepalous calyx, or monopetalous corolla, although thus compounded of several pieces, is usually described as a simple organ, wheel-shaped, cup-shaped, tubular, according to the degree of cohesion. The lower part of it, formed by the united claws, whether long or short, is the tube; the upper part, composed of the confluent laminae, is the border or limb; the opening of the tube above is the throat.
460. The border is either lobed, toothed, crenate, etc., by the distinct ends of the pieces composing it, as in the calyx of pink, the calyx and corolla of Primula, Phlox, and bellwort, or it may become by a complete lateral cohesion, entire, as in morning-glory. Here the compound nature of the organ is shown by the seams alone.
461. A terminal cohesion, where summit as well as sides are joined forming a cap rather than cup, rarely occurs, as in the calyx of the garden Escholtzia and the corolla of the grape.
462. The modes of adhesion are various and important, furnishing some of the most valuable distinctive characters. An organ is said to be adherent when it is conjoined with some dissimilar organ, as stamen with pistil. All the organs of our typical flower are described as free.
463. Hypogynous (vπώ, under, yuvή, pistil) is an adjective term in frequent use, denoting that the organs are inserted into the receptacle under or at the base of the free pistil or ovary. It is, therefore, not applicable to the pistil itself. Thus the outer organs of buttercups are hypogynous.
Section of flowers. 304, Jeffersonia diphylla, hypogynous. 305, Viola rotundifolia. 306 Phaseolns multitlorus (bean, organs spirally twisted). 307, Pyrus (Pear), perigynous; ovaries nearly inclosed. 308, Prunus (plum); ovary not inclosed.
464. Perigynous (περí, around) denotes that the organ is inserted on the calyx-tube around the free ovary. Thus in Phlox the stamens are inserted on the tube of the corolla. In cherry both stamens and petals are (apparently) inserted on the calyx-tube. The calyx can never be perigynous.
465. Epigynous (επì, upon) denotes that all the organs are apparently inserted upon the ovary, as seen in the apple, caraway, sunflower. The common phrases " calyx superior," " ovary inferior," have the same signification as calyx epigynous, all implying the apparent insertion of the organs upon or above the ovary. | {

Zakrzewska Osada – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie kujawsko-pomorskim, w powiecie sępoleńskim, w gminie Więcbork. Wieś położona nad jeziorem Zakrzewskim.
Badania archeologiczne są prowadzone w okolicy wsi od roku 1999, kiedy miejscowi rolnicy (Mirosław Guzy,Bartosz Golański oraz Jędrzej i Krzysztof Kucharscy) przypadkowo odkryli urnę. Znaleziono wielokulturowe cmentarzyska, sięgające od neolitu, poprzez kultury epoki żelaza (halsztacką, lateńską, wielbarską i pomorską) aż do okresu wpływów rzymskich. Znaleziono m.in. groby jamowe i popielnicowe z okresu kultury grobów kloszowych, czy zapinki z epoki brązu.
Pierwsza informacja z czasów historycznych o miejscowości pochodzi z roku 1505. W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa bydgoskiego. Według Narodowego Spisu Powszechnego (III 2011 r.) liczyła 224 mieszkańców. Jest jedenastą co do wielkości miejscowością gminy Więcbork.

With Jobless Rates Like These, How Can Anybody Consider More Foreign Workers or an Amnesty?
SOURCE: From Center for Immigration Studies analysis of public-use January-March 2013 Current Population Surveys. The government's U-6 Unemployment Rate counts not only people actively looking for a job who cannot find any kind of work, but it also counts "discouraged workers" who just recently stopped their unsuccessful quest for a job and those wanting a full-time job who have been forced into a part-time position.
Do Unemployed Americans Deserve Suspension of Most Immigration?
The Americans represented in the above statistics are actively searching for a job and cannot find even a part-time job.
Those unemployed Americans in that table above primarily are looking for jobs in the same non-agricultural occupations where illegal foreign workers are currently employed – manufacturing, service, construction.
Additionally, most of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants entering the country legally this year under extended-family categories and the visa lottery also will be competing for jobs with these unemployed Americans.
Isn't the compassionate option to suspend most immigration (at the least,suspend chain-migration and visa lottery immigration) and stop making it more difficult for jobless Americans to find a job? | {

Jaguar Heritage
Jaguar decided to open their doors to the Great British public to see these splendid vehicles. But they also had a desire to tell the legacy of their pioneering Jaguar engineers. With a long and illustrious motoring history Jaguar found major motorsport success with its pioneering engineering innovations, particularly at LeMans in the 1950s.
The Jaguar Heritage museum contains a physical timeline of engines and disc-brake development, telling the story of some of their most important advancements:
The E-Type The XJS The Xj220
Tatton Park
Hidden Histories is a new strand of the visitor experience at the National Trust's Tatton House near Knutsford. Tours of the grand rooms and estate have always been popular, and now visitors taking the tours of the kitchens and servants quarters can explore the lives and working conditions of named servants in the 1900s, and a fascinating insight into the technology of the time.
A number of iPads, some mounted on stands and some held by the guides, bring to life interactive stories from the housekeeper, cook, maids and sculleryman, through their diaries, daily schedules and ledgers. We created the project as a number of modules which will be extended when further parts of 'downstairs' in the mansion are revealed.
Gene Splicer
Dudley Zoological Gardens look after some of the worlds rarest creatures but we decided to go one step further with the Genesplicer interactive we produced for exhibition consultants Leach. Playing the role of a mad scientist, visitors can choose from 11 different animals and splice their genes together to create a new, improved and extremely strange species.
An animated, rotating double-helix adds movement while the creepy, atmospheric soundscape of bubbling concoctions creates a suitable background for the dastardly creations. Camodiles, Giringos, Tiguins and Crocotans can all be concocted in the laboratory and let loose by emailing your creation and sharing it with friends.
Dudley Zoo's 2015 Easter break saw record attendances, with the attraction topping 20,000 visitors over the seven-day period. Zoo Director, Derek Grove, said "the bumper figures were a result of the opening of a new £250,000 interactive exhibit. The feedback we've had on Castle Creatures has been incredible."
The Catalyst Science Discovery Centre
The Catalyst Science Discovery Centre is a well-loved museum on the outskirts of Runcorn, which has fuelled a passion for science and chemistry in local school children for many years.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund the exciting interactive enabled visitors to explore the history of the area from the Observation Gallery. Scanning NFC tags at key locations in the Observatory activated content on touch-screen enabled devices, displaying useful facts, historical galleries, animations and even a quiz; where users would be given tokens to place in their virtual backpack.
We also produced a self-guided booklet enabling visitors to explore the landmarks of the surrounding industrial landscape.
Manchester United Museum
Who's that team we call United?…
Working closely with the team of curators at the Manchester United Museum we created an interactive exhibition detailing the lives of ten of the greatest football players in the history of Manchester United. From pioneering Welsh wizard, Billy Meredith and the immeasurable talent of George Best to the iconic appeal of David Beckham, the exhibition explores how the lives of footballers and the wider society that supported them has changed over the decades.
42" interactive touchscreen houses 10 CGI representations of the managers' office from the past century. Each office contains animations and 11 interactive information points on each player's life, how training and tactics have evolved, the introduction of the players union and the rise of the celebrity player.
Bramall Hall
As part of the £1.6 million refurbishment, Fuzzy Duck developed four educational touchscreen interactives and five tablets which were located throughout the Tudor manor house.
We interviewed local historians and restorers to learn more about the history of Bramall Hall and how the restoration processes took place.
The videos & interviews allowed visitors with limited mobility to explore each of the rooms on all the floors. | {

In Sleepy Hollow…Opening the Open Door
Robert Bonvento — November 12, 2016
River Journal has covered the Open Door Family Medical Center in Sleepy Hollow for many years, as it sought to move from its 80 Beekman Avenue address to 300 North Broadway. That move initially met with resistance from the Village Board of Trustees and the Planning Board, who recognized that zoning laws and a paucity of parking could not accommodate the increased size of the new building's footprint nor the medical uses Open Door had requested.
In the latter part of 2014 Sleepy Hollow's Zoning Board of appeals granted a variance to the Open Door which permitted off-site parking for the 300 North Broadway building. That off-site parking turned out to be 310 North Broadway, the former Dominick's Limousine site, along with a vacant lot at 316 North Broadway. In December of 2014 the Planning Board gave site plan approval and in early 2015 Sleepy Hollow's Architectural Review Board approved Open Door's exterior design and signage.
The projected new home for Open Door at 300 North Broadway is a total of 12,100 square feet with a lower level that is 5,300 square feet. This lower level will house a reception area and waiting room along with a conference room, offices, restrooms and four dental examination rooms. The second floor which is basically at street level on New Broadway is 6,800 square feet, and it, too, will have another reception area and waiting room. Three medical residents' work rooms, sixteen exam rooms, one procedure room, along with restrooms and offices are also part of the plan.
Parking at the building will include 2 handicapped-accessible parking spaces and a loading dock. The former Dominick's Limousine Service building is being converted to a parking garage consisting of 21 parking spaces. The vacant lot at 316 North Broadway will accommodate 19 parking spaces.
The anticipated completion date is summer of 2017, barring any unforeseen construction delays. At this time all Village permits and approvals have been granted.
River Journal asked Senior Marketing Coordinator at Phelps Memorial Hospital, Mary Sernatinger, about the medical services Phelps provides to the Open Door. She and her colleagues contributed the following:
"All 20 of NYMC-Phelps Family Medicine Residency Program's residents serve as physicians at the Open Door Family Medical Center in Sleepy Hollow while receiving training under experienced family physicians who also provide care there. Family Medicine residency is a three-year program designed to train medical school graduates to become well-rounded family physicians who care for individuals across their lifespan within the context of their family and community. Sleepy Hollow Open Door and Phelps have maintained a strong relationship since 2011 when the residency program was founded. Since then, 12 physicians have graduated from the residency, five of whom now work as physicians for various Open Door Medical Centers throughout the greater Westchester community. The program is currently reviewing applications for the eight doctors who will begin next year, and they have already received 1,720 applications."
The Open Door, which declares, "Your medical home offering primary care for everyone," on their website, receives approximately 1,000 patients daily at their combined Sleepy Hollow, Ossining and Mount Kisco offices.

Arwind Santos had a stellar 16 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in Petron's game last night against the struggling Shopinas.com Clickers. The Spiderman led the Blaze Boosters in holding off the Clickers.
This win of Petron against Shopinas is their 3rd straight this season. They first beat B-Meg, then Barako Bull and most recently Shopinas. They are now definitely one of the hottest teams in the PBA right now.
And Arwind Santos is one of the biggest reasons behind Petron's winning streak. The other reasons were Alex Cabagnot and Danny Ildefonso. But, Arwind's hustle and rebounding skill were just too overwhelming this Season. You just can't overlook his jumping ability, his athleticism and his strength in getting those rebounds. He really deserves all the praises that he has been getting from his fans all over the Philippines. He is becoming more and more famous in each and every game of Petron. So much so that the other Big Time players from other PBA Teams praised him because of his fine performance.
Here are the praises that Sol Mercado, Joe Devance, Chris Ross, and Rob Reyes gave to Arwind using their Twitter accounts. Petron Blaze Facebook page was able to compile them.
Those nice praises will surely motivate Arwind Santos to play even better than his performance in the PBA Season 36. I'm sure he will get more individual awards this season because he is playing like an MVP.
PETRON 98 - Miranda 18, Lutz 17, Santos 16, Yeo 12, Agustin 9, Cabagnot 9, Ildefonso 6, Reyes 5, Baclao 4, Sharma 2, Guevarra 0.
SHOPINAS.COM 87 - Duncil 22, Jazul 12, Hubalde 12, Ritualo 12, Sena 10, Menor 9, Espiritu 4, Se 3, Canlas 2, Canta 1, Ilad 0, Hermida 0, Mirza 0. | {

As a business owner, you know that all markets have an inherent risk. That's why you need business insurance. And while you probably own coverage for basic liabilities, you might not know that you need more coverage to protect against the unexpected. Acumen Insurance can help you find the security your company needs.
You should choose your business insurance in Hamilton based upon the needs of your business. Your total risk depends on the number of liabilities you face. If your primary risks come from property damage, lawsuits, or bodily injury then a general liability insurance might be suitable for you. However, if you also need to protect workers, you need workers comp insurance as well. As your risk increases, we can find you a matching insurance plan.
Many businesses across this great country of ours thrive on services that are offered through vehicles. Taxi and limousine services, Paratransit operators, transport trucks, and delivery van companies – just to name few. Because these businesses are unique in nature, they require specialized insurance products to meet their needs. | {

'Jeopardy!' host Alex Trebek to moderate a Pa. gubernatorial debate
by Rob Tornoe, Posted: February 21, 2018
Longtime "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek will moderate a Pennsylvania gubernatorial debate in October as part of the the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry's annual dinner.
In 2012, longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek admitted he would have loved to have been one of the questioners at a presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
During the 2018 election cycle, he could get his wish. Sort of.
Trebek, a native Canadian who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998, will moderate a 45-minute debate among Pennsylvania's 2018 gubernatorial candidates as part of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry's annual dinner Oct. 1 at the Hershey Lodge in Dauphin County.
Invitations will be extended to all the major candidates, including Democratic incumbent Tom Wolf and the winner of a Republican primary that includes attorney Laura Ellsworth, businessman Paul Mango and state Sen. Scott Wagner. It's unclear if Libertarian Party candidate Ken Krawchuk will be invited to participate.
"Once the primary campaign is over and there is a Republican nominee, we look forward to sitting down and discussing what debates we will jointly participate in and how those debates are organized," Jeffrey Sheridan, Wolf's campaign manager, said in an email. "It is premature at this time, before we even have a Republican opponent, to talk about debates."
Trebek told the Hill in 2013 if he were afforded the opportunity to moderate a political debate, he would take a different approach.
"I would not let the politicians get away with standard responses," Trebek said. "I would try to pin them down, even though I might look bad doing it."
So what are Trebek's politics? It's hard to say. During a 2012 discussion with Politico, Trebek offered some viewpoints typically ascribed to conservatives, such as the idea that people are relying too much on government and that there is "a sense of 'entitlement' in our society." But on other issues, like climate change and gay rights, Trebek sounds decidedly more liberal.
"I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative," Trebek said in an email to Salon in 2014. "I would point out that anyone who has ever asked me, or investigated, would know that I am a registered 'Independent,' and I have voted for both Democratic and Republican candidates in the past, and will continue to do so."
In addition to his role as debate moderator, Trebek also will serve as the dinner's keynote speaker, expected to discuss his unprecedented 34-year career as host of the popular quiz show, spanning more than 7,500 episodes. In fact, Trebek holds the Guinness Book of World Records award for "Most game show episodes hosted by the same presenter."
Dennis Owens, a news anchor for ABC27 in Harrisburg, will be the master of ceremonies.
Trebek returned to filming episodes of Jeopardy! in mid-January after surgery to treat a subdural hematoma — blood clots on the brain — caused by a fall in October. Due to the show's filming schedule, Trebek didn't miss an episode, enabling him ahead of the Super Bowl to mock contestants who couldn't provide a single response about the category "Football."
"Let's look at the $1,000 clue, just for the fun of it," joked Trebek, a longtime Redskins fan.

KOREA /
Over 80 Percent of Five Year Olds In South Korea Go To Hagwons
Lydia Koo, Jan. 9, 2017, 9:49 a.m.
More than 83 percent of 5-year-olds and 36 percent of 2-year-olds in South Korea receive private education, a study revealed Monday.
According to the report published by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education, a typical 5-year-old Korean kid receives private education 5.2 times a week for a duration of 50 minutes per session. For 2-year-olds, the average is 2.6 times a week and 47.6 minutes per session.
The findings are based on a survey conducted between August and October last year on 1,241 parents with children aged 2 or 5. There were 537 of them with 2-year-olds and the remaining 704 had 5-year-olds.
Korean language, sports and arts were the most common subjects for private education for the children, followed by English. The report encompassed private academies, known as hagwon here, as well as private tutoring and home learning programs.
In many cases, 5-year-olds attend normal kindergarten classes by day and go to a hagwon for after-school studies, the report found. The after-school sessions last as long as four hours, it added.
Nearly 70 percent of the surveyed parents with 2-year-olds said the level of their child's education was adequate, with 27 percent saying it was not enough.
As for those with 5-year-olds, 54.3 percent of the parents said their education level was adequate, while 40 percent said they needed more.
"Children, especially at a younger age, should be able to build a healthy relationship with their parents during the critical early years, which would later help them to get along with their peers. Spending most of their time at a hagwon is a hurdle to the process," Kim Eun-young, who headed the study, told The Korea Herald.
She warned that excessive education at an early age could led to notable problems, such as depression and lack of concentration, or even the development of aggressive forms of behavior. | {

Listen to the story
https://tuntimo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Alice-Coachman.m4a
Alice Coachman was an African American athlete who specialised in high jump. As a young girl, Coachman was unable to access training facilities because of the colour of her skin. She trained by running along the dirt roads near her home, using homemade equipment to practice jumping.
She began her athletic career competing in the Amateur Athletic Union's Women's National Championships, which she won 10 years in a row. In her first year she competed barefoot, beating the college and national high jump records. Aside from high jump, she also won championships in sprinting, relay and basketball.
Coachman was unable to compete in the 1940 and 1944 Olympic Games, which were cancelled because of World War Two. She did compete in the 1948 Olympic Games, and won a gold medal in high jump. Sports writer Eric Williams said of Coachman, "Had she competed in those cancelled Olympics, we would probably be talking about her as the No. 1 female athlete of all time."
After retiring as an athlete, Coachman dedicated her life to education and became a track and field instructor.
List three events that Alice Coachman won while competing in the Amateur Athletic Union's Women's National Championships. Why do you think Eric Williams said "Had she competed in those cancelled Olympics, we would probably be talking about her as the No. 1 female athlete of all time" about Alice Coachman? How did Alice Coachman overcome barriers to training in her early life?

A little over two years ago, I opened a shop called K is for Black on Society6. It was a pretty scary move for me, but it turned out to be an important one. Even though I've been painting and drawing and making stuff since I was old enough to hold a crayon, something happened after I finished art school and started working in the world of commercial art: I stopped designing anything that wasn't for a client and that didn't require outside approval in order for it to be finalized. Once you get into that mode, it's really, really hard to trust your judgment when it comes to your own work. Also, when you're not working for a client, there's no way to diffuse criticism. I can internally blame an unattractive book cover on an author (or an agent, or a publisher, or a buyer, etc.), but what do I do when someone calls my non-client work "uninspiring, unimaginative, and unoriginal"? You can't please everyone (and who would want to!), but criticism is criticism, and even the toughest, most badass, confident artist-type out there has feelings. Sometimes I like to try and spare mine.
Anyway, I went ahead and opened the shop, and to my happy surprise, people started to buy stuff. The profit margin for artists on Society6 is pretty small (especially with stuff like mugs and iPhone cases) since they handle all of the printing and shipping, so it's never been about turning it into a significant source of income for me, but it's very cool to see your posters hanging on strangers' walls and pillows with your designs on their sofas. There are now 22 designs in the K is for Black shop, and whenever I have free time, I add something new.
Society6 announced last month that they're going to start producing quarterly book collecting the work of select artists who sell on the platform. Considering there are thousands and thousands of Society6 shops, it was a pretty huge honor to have been chosen as one of the 49 artists featured in the premiere issue for Winter 2016. As soon it was released, I ordered four copies—two for me, and one for each of my parents.
Three of my designs were chosen: Sweetness, Vile, and B-Plus. I love the way they're presented! The Society6 team did a fantastic job with the whole issue, and I'm having a great time flipping through and discovering new artists (and seeing longtime favorites like Chad Wys). The paper stock is gorgeous, and the whole thing is just beautifully put together. I'll be buying future editions, for sure!
If you'd like to get a copy of the Winter 2016 Society6 art quarterly, they're available online now in limited quantities, and will make their way to bookstores in the near future.
How-to: Make an Eames Fiberglass Shell Chair.
Hi Anna! I love your SWEETNESS I WAS ONLY JOKING iPhone case, and get lots of comments on it. It's a great conversation starter! Keep up the brilliant work. Hugs to Fritz!
I have your raindrop leggings and I get SO many compliments on them!
This is awesome, congrats! It's hard for graphic designers to find time to do their own work when we use so much creative energy designing for clients, but it's so worthwhile. Your shop is inspiring.
go me! i have and tote your vile bag (and a larger still ill). how chic we are!
How great- love your work! It is hard to leave the scaffold of client approval & go on your own aesthetic- this post really reasonates with me! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations Anna, I love your sense of style – Last year I decided to put some of my work "out there" and opened an Etsy Shop selling digital Prints – I am interested in the concept of Society6, and must look into it further.
So curious about copyright and trademark here. Is it legal to sell artwork that prominently features the work (Morrisey lyrics in this case) of another artist? Does it fall under fair use?
This is interesting to me as well. How does "likeness" work in terms of say, a photograph of someone? Or a photograph vs. a portrait?
Anna, you are talented and brave. I love your work and applaud your courage! | {

It's now Dec 1 and my Nokia 7.1 still has Android 8.1 with only the October 1 security patch level. Hellllllooooooo Nokia. Anyone there?
Me again with the last posting! It's just like other Chinese makers. Promise shamles the blue from the sky until they got what they won't from us - or money! From that moment on they don't care anymore. They give us this platform to leave our frustrated comments but I'm quite sure, non of the officials will read here a single line.
My next phone will be a Samsung or LG or something else. Here I know what I get. promising nothing and so no disappointing customers. ..
The Pie update for your phone is roling out now. It's take a few days, take a patience.
I understand your nervousness. I believe that Nokia employees should provide specific dates when and where the update will be made available. I know that this information has people who support Facebook. Apparently they are equally responsible for the work on d update - this is how I got the information from the employee. They gave me the exact date of updating my 7 plus and 6.1 wife, both dates worked well. So maybe ask on Facebook?
I just read an article about the UK having regulations that delay updates. You sure Germany isn't the same way? | {

Connected supply chains still a way off for consumer goods, says Evrythng
The digital transformation of consumer goods supply chains is being held back by legacy infrastructure, according to a recent survey from IoT start-up, Evrythng.
In a poll conducted at the Internet of Supply Chain conference held in Amsterdam in May of this year, more than half (56 percent) of the consumer product manufacturers that Evrythng spoke to identified the challenge of integrating complex legacy systems across their supply chain network as "highly significant", the company claims.
The net result of this difficulty is that businesses increasingly struggle to bring together data from across their fragmented supply networks, meaning opportunities are missed to optimize supply chain efficiency.
Lack of maturity means lack of visibility
Of those who responded, 44 percent said that legacy infrastructure made it difficult to get timely access to data, and 39 percent suggested it led to poor visibility throughout the product's lifecycle.
It is increased or real-time visibility that represents the most important opportunity for consumer goods companies, according to Evrythng.
Niall Murphy, CEO of Evrythng
Writing in a company blog post, Evrythng CEO Niall Murphy suggests that "real-time visibility is most useful for gaining valuable consumer insights," which is backed up by respondents, who indicated that "the most important benefit of a digital supply chain is the ability to get closer connections with their customers, ranking this higher than enabling new business models, driving new revenue and cost savings, which are often enabled once a business has established closer connections with its customers."
Yet, despite its potential, the survey revealed that "real-time visibility from the factory to the consumer" is the poorest rated of all current supply chain capabilities among consumer goods companies, scoring just 2 out of 5 on Evrythng's scale, followed closely by "item-level provenance for everything you manufacture", which scored just under 3 out of 5.
At present, the problem comes down to maturity. Just 6 percent of consumer goods companies describe their digital supply chain efforts as "ecosystem-connected", while a significantly higher 39 percent say that they are at the lowest stage of maturity, with most (if any) of their digital transformation efforts taking place no higher up than the departmental level.

Reasons for optimism
For Murphy, however, there is cause to be optimistic. He believes consumer goods companies can see the value in their digital transformation efforts. That important, he says, because "product manufacturers and brands are now competing on a global basis with digitally-native, insights-led businesses such as Amazon and Apple. Real-time data is everything, with full instrumentation of the supply chain end to end. Achieving this capability is a survival issue."
"Siloed legacy systems are a barrier to achieving the kind of end-to-end visibility that enables companies to understand their supply chain and product lifecycles inside-out and compete at the top table."
"Smart products and smart packaging with data management in the cloud is the game-changer," Murphy suggests. "From shoes to jackets, champagne bottles to shaving foam canisters, physical products can now be part of interconnected ecosystems enabled by the web through active digital identities in the cloud.
It's these "digital product identities", which, when combined with "open standards and the ubiquity of smartphones," will "make vital data available at all times, outside of IT systems and enterprise walls," he concludes.

Internet of Supply Chain is the only event bringing together Supply Chain executives representing the retailers, manufacturers and logistics operators to share best practices and inspire new revenue opportunities.
The two-day forum will offer as yet unheard case studies on how the total lifecycle of a product can be monitored in real-time and be delivered on time without any compromise in quality.
Key themes will include using IoT to improve end-to-end visibility, modernizing a legacy supply chain process and marrying manufacturing and supply chain.

Same teams
In the year 2020, it runs in the Indian region's outer parts, but there is no change with the overall structure, especially for the IPL teams.
All the same, teams are playing in the same tournament, which plays in the previous matches of the ipl. Few couples like Mumbai Indians Chennai Super Kings Kings XI Punjab are few teams that used to play in the IPL tournament regularly, and this year, they are also playing with their selected team.
The most notable thing about this year's IPL tournament is that there is no present crowd in the cricket ground. It happens just because of coronavirus, where people need to detach from each other most of the time to remove the issue of the same virus.
However, some virtual audience is available on the LED screens, which gives some encouragement to the players who are playing alone on the grounds.

This year's IPL tournament is also unique because it is a shorter version of the same game, which used to Run about three months. But now this year IPL tournament is only available for two months, and there are only 12 matches single for each team, which they need to win to qualify for the finals.
Mumbai Indians and other teams
In this tournament, Mumbai Indians are doing very well till now, and they are pretty much confident to reach the finals of the game as soon as possible. Delhi capitals are also trying their level best to get to the finals without much difficulty, and they almost have sufficient points over the table to become the qualifier.
Unfortunately, Rajasthan Royals Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad are still struggling to reach the finals. Apart from that, Royal Challengers Bengaluru has done pretty well in the tournament, which is considered the weakest team in the previous versions of the IPL.

I might be losing weight since the weather got cold, what with freezing my arse off every morning. Welcome to winter.
Since my evil scheme to get us out of this cold house by the onset of winter hasn't come off, yesterday I went and bought an extra heater, to prevent the family freezing to death.
It's a twin for the smallish column oil heater I got last year. You know, shopping for appliances is so much easier when you know exactly what you want. Walk into shop, see product, tell salesman, hand over cash. Easy. If only all my shopping could be that simple.

It's still quite summer-ish around here actually Daniel… (just not today).
Welcome to Sydney ;-)
But I agree with your shopping experience – the internet means I can do that just about every time these days!

Realty Shares 2022
Review and Ranking
Visit Realty Shares
What is Realty Shares?
To avoid the financial conflicts-of-interests that are rampant on virtually every other review site, I DON'T accept any money from any outside sponsor or platform for ANYTHING (including but not limited to affiliate ads, advertising etc.). See code of ethics for more.
Update Nov 7, 2018: Realty Shares has run out of cash for funding operations and has shut down to new investors.
Update Feb 13, 2019: Realty Shares is being sued by investors in a class action lawsuit.
Realty Shares is an unusual combination of some of the most impressive features in the industry, one of the most inconvenient and is also one of the more complained about sites by investors.
It had bragging rights previously as one of the largest volume of new investments in the industry (19 versus the average of 1). This alone made it one of the "must visit" sites for many investors (although volume has since waned).
They also offer the most diverse mixture of asset classes and investment types of any site (every combination of commercial, debt/equity, direct investment/fund). This is really handy for diversifying your portfolio quickly.
Additionally, they offer low minimums, and superior bankruptcy protection. And they have the distinction of breaking the 2016-2017 VC funding drought and raising an impressive $28 million.
On the negative side, unlike It's closest competitors (Crowd Street and Real crowd), Realty Shares inserts itself as a middleman between the sponsor and the investor. This means that the investor cannot go directly to the sponsor for questions (which in my opinion is not ideal, because it can lead to a game of "telephone" where the original information is not passed along accurately). It also means that the investor cannot go directly to the sponsor for updates if things go wrong. And finally, it also means that the investor is paying an extra fee to Realty Shares for the structure, that isn't paid on other sites.
Also, investor feedback on Realty Shares, was generally not positive, with several claiming that they would not use the company again after their experiences.
Investors alleged dissatisfaction with inadequate management oversight when investments went wrong. For example one claimed:
"One investment seemed to be going great until the final (largest) payment was expected where it turned out to be a 45% loss of capital. The sponsor performed extraordinarily poorly: only 4 of 13 properties in that investment turned a profit. If this is true, I would think that if RealtyShares was performing competent oversight, they would have noticed a severe problem like this much earlier, and would've had time to intervene and at least reduce the damage to investors. They do charge a fee for management, so it's not clear to me what that fee is buying."
A couple of specific allegations of problems are listed below in the "problem investments" section.
In September 2017, Realty Shares announced it had exited the residential loan origination business and has sold that portion of the company to Lima Capital. It also said it will focus on commercial real estate going forward. As of the writing of this review, I was still waiting for a response on the company as to whether Lima capital will be taking over any of the alleged distressed investments or if Realty Shares would be continuing to administer them.
Investors have also claimed they experienced irregularities with the Realty Shares tax reporting for 2016. They said that tax documents were initially provided with incorrect or erroneous information and that customer service was generally unhelpful in resolving the issue (for example putting up corrections online and only some who complained rather than all investors, etc.).Other
Advantages: Highest investment volume, most diverse asset classes and investment types, low minimums ($1k - $5k versus $10k average), superior bankruptcy protection, $60 million in venture capital.
Disadvantages: Fees are a bit on the high side (from 1 to 2% versus a 1% average).
Accolades: #2 for lowest minimums.
Problem investments: (as reported by investors)
327 N Grenola Street: sponsor suspended preferred return in November 2016. October 2017:preferred return resumed, but allegedly with no communication from Realty Shares as to why, what had changed, whether it looks like things are back on track or not,etc.
84 South Union St: fix and flip that failed to return investor money when promised and still trying to sell after more than 2 years.
2018-06-02 an investor alleges that $525k of investor money for an investment on RealtyShares was received from the sponsor but not distributed by RealtyShares for over 17 days and counting. They claim that RealtyShares says "our engineering team is currently updating our servicing system, and we are working diligently to make sure everything is working properly before sending out the remaining principal". If this is true, it's not clear why it would take so long to do something that should be so routine, unless the platform is having significant issues. I've asked the investor to let me know if and when he claims he has finally received his payment.

Code of Ethics: To maintain objectivity, I do NOT accept any money from any outside sponsor or platform for ANYTHING (including but not limited to affiliate ads, advertising etc.). See code of ethics for more.
Personal opinion only: All info is my personal opinion only as an investor. I am not an attorney, nor an accountant, nor your financial advisor. Always do your own due diligence and consult with your own licensed professionals before making any investment decision. Information is believed to be correct but may have errors, so use at your own risk. If you find an error, please let me know.
Ratings are general: In my opinion, every investor comes from a different risk tolerance and financial situation, so there's no such thing as a single investment or platform that's great for everyone. There are many deals that aggressive investors love, which I won't touch, and vice versa. And every investor has their own way of doing due diligence. I believe there's no one right way to do it.
So, the site ratings are based on criteria which I feel are important to the broadest range of investors (transparency, volume, bankruptcy protection, etc). And even though I have my own personal, conservative, due diligence method (and talk about how the site's deals measure up in the "deep dive section"), I don't use my personal criteria as a factor in the ratings. So for example, a high ranking/rating doesn't mean that I would personally invest in a site (and vice versa). Click here to see what's in my own portfolio.

Kentucky to play North Carolina in CBS Sports Classic
The game will still be played in Las Vegas

By: Maggie Davis
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky basketball team will now play North Carolina in the CBS Sports Classic in Las Vegas at 5:30 p.m. ET. The Cats' previous matchup against Ohio State has been canceled due to COVID within the Buckeyes program. The game will still be played in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Tickets which were already purchased for the original matchups are still valid for Saturday's rescheduled game.
North Carolina is receiving votes in both major polls. The Tar Heels are led by sophomore guard Caleb Love (averaging 16.2 points per game) and junior Forward Armando Bacot (14.3 ppg). Kentucky played North Carolina last season in the CBS Sports Classic, when the Tar Heels won 75-63 with Love and Bacot scoring 25 of the Tar Heels' 75 points.
For the first time since 2003, Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams will not be on the sidelines. First year head coach Hubert Davis, formerly a long-time assistant at North Carolina, has the Tar Heels sitting at 8-2 on the season, with wins over Michigan and Georgia Tech. North Carolina's two losses came back-to-back against a very good Purdue team and Tennessee. North Carolina leads the all time series with Kentucky 25-16.
The Tar Heels were originally scheduled to play UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic, but the Bruins had to pull out of that game due to COVID-19 issues within their program. | {

FundYourselfNow wants to become an improved version of Kickstarter, with the benefits that are offered by the blockchain technology. On their platform, user can host both ICO and non-ICO projects and raise funds through regular FIAT but also cryptocurrencies. FYN will help list your project on FundYourselfNow platform, branding over 6500 investors. They can provide for you detailed project description and help to get you listed on at least 12 popular listing websites. FYN can also offer marketing services and help to write, edit and distribute marketing articles through top crypto media channels. The overall design of the platform seems user-friendly and easy to use. They provide a lot of information, variety of premium and normal packages and explain the offered services in details. The team is wide and each member has a detailed information about skills and previous experience. When it comes to the sole market, there is a strong competition among crowdfunding platforms both when it comes to the mainstream but also blockchain-based projects.
The project looks very good and interesting, however there are already a lot of others successfuly funded projects that want to create their crowdfunding platforms that way I don't see why would both investors and people want to support another project of the same idea. I mean, in the mainstream crowdfunding market there are few leading sites, so maybe in the cryptocurrency market, few leading sites can also survice, but I'm not sure if that's possible at this point. I mean if I had to support one, I'd choose kickICO.
I really like the design of this site. It looks good and doesn't distract from the information provided on the site. They are quite transparent in that matter and I think I can find all I want about this project. Bringing a crowdfunding platform to the blockchain environment makes it superior to mainstream ordinary platforms as it allows all the transaction to be transparent and the fees are highly reduced to the bare minimum. It also makes it possible to grant the funds directly to the project's wallet without any intermediaries. However, as there are other similar projects, I'm not sure if this one is superior to the others. We will see which one will win this battle. | {

Thomas Verity's Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly Circus, London
[Victorian Web Home —> Visual Arts —> Architecture —> London —> Theaters —> Thomas Verity —> Next]
The Criterion Theatre by Thomas Verity. 1874. Piccadilly Circus, London W1. Detail of marquee. [Click on these images and those below to enlarge them.]
According to the theater's own website, "In 1870 following the acquisition of the White Bear Inn site, and adjoining properties between Jermyn Street and Piccadilly Circus, caterers Spiers and Pond commissioned Thomas Verity to design a new development consisting of a large restaurant, dining rooms, ballroom, and galleried concert hall. Having commenced building work it was decided to alter the proposed concert hall (though retaining the composers names, which still line the tiled staircases to this day), to a theatre. . . . The Criterion retains an almost perfectly preserved Victorian auditorium."
British Listed Buildings, which provides a detailed history and analysis of the building, points out that " Of original interior features of the Criterion Restaurant that survive the tunnel vaulted "Long Bar" with its "glistening" gold mosaic decoration and the first floor banqueting room are of note. The Criterion Theatre itself is exceptional in being located in the basement. Approached by foyer corridors and staircase lined with richly polychromed tiles and painted tile panels alternating with large plate mirrors the auditorium is still substantially that of 1874 with the 1884 remodelling. "

Karmic Dilemmas
Today, I attended a fab networking event for the ladies and the question was raised about karma.
Whether you believe that karma is about actual past lives or something more along the lines of what your higher self (or soul) wants to work on during this lifetime, this is my take on a few astrological considerations.
General shape of the natal chart – here, we are looking for empty spaces (i.e. quadrants or hemispheres rather than single houses). Energy 'flow' in the chart is important to pinpoint blockages as well as overcompensations.
I have absolutely nothing in the 3rd quadrant, which governs my personal development through relationships, socialisation and intellect. I've been married twice and have far too many university degrees. Overcompensation? You can bet on it.
Chiron – is also a big karmic factor and guess what, he's conjunct my 7th house cusp! Is he telling me that I've suffered prior 'wounds' in relationship that had to do with balancing my own needs and that of the 'other'? If so, then not surprisingly does this often manifest as the typical Libra refrain (I have 4 planets in Libra) – 'I'll do anything for you to stay in the relationship'. The karmic lesson here involves learning to love myself so that I'm not so dependent on the love from my 'significant other'.
Element balance and imbalance – here, we are looking for (1) no and/or (2) four or more planets in either fire, earth, air, or water. Again, we're looking for overcompensation and fixations. I have lots of air but no water in my chart and I often dream of water, not of drowning but of being constantly flooded. Water represents emotions. I don't deal well with emotions. Put air and water together and you have rain storms. Too many of those at once and there's flooding.
Moon and the South node – here, we are looking for deeply instinctual patterns, something that I've done over and over before and so keep doing because it is so easy. My Moon is in the 12th house, the most karmic of the houses. This definitely has to do with 'mother-stuff' (I spent years on 'mother' in my therapy – and I do mean years) and of course emotions. Or rather, it has to doing with being 'detached' from my emotions because otherwise it causes too much personal pain with which I cannot deal. Don't be surprised to learn that my South Node is in Cancer. This is something that I've done gazillions of times before.
Doesn't this tie in a bit too nicely with my lack of 'water' and recurrent 'mother issues'?
What does your chart say about your karma?
The Dragon's Head
Imagine, having a clear picture delivered from your higher self of what you're meant to accomplish during this lifetime, a picture that ordinary astrological techniques and ordinary astrologers cannot provide?
Just like the Tropical zodiac (developed in ancient Greece) used by western astrologers and the Sidereal zodiac (older than the hills) used by eastern astrologers, the Draconic zodiac is a method of assigning the planets (and other important points) to one of the twelve zodiac signs.
The Sidereal zodiac lines the planets up against the fixed stars or constellations.
The Tropical zodiac (now 28 degrees out of sync with the Sidereal) is a moving target. It lines 0 degrees Aries up with the vernal equinox which, because of the earth's wobble on its axis, shifts ever so slightly each year.
The Dragon Speaks
The cosmic dance of Rahu, the Dragon's head and Ketu, the Dragon's tail
The Draconic (Dragon) zodiac is a completely different kettle of fish. Although based on the tropical zodiac, it realigns all planetary placements in keeping with the north lunar node (the dragon's head). It is the cosmic dance of the two lunar nodes which plots the predictable point at which the moon will cross and crisscross the ecliptic (or the apparent path of the sun through the sky). Traditionally, the lunar nodes are more spiritually inclined than the rest of the planets/points; the north lunar node heralds your future, your destiny, whilst the south lunar node symbolises your past, as well as what's holding you back.
The upside of this is that whilst both the Tropical and Sidereal zodiacs rely completely on the Sun's movements, the Draconic captures the cyclical waltz between the Moon and the Sun. It is for this reason that the Draconic zodiac is believed to capture the essence of a soul (or higher self) incarnating into the earth plan as well as documenting the karmic strengths and weaknesses carrying on through multiple incarnations (rather like the Akashic Records).
If the natal chart erected using the Tropical zodiac fleshes out the personality or temperament of the incarnated individual, the chart erected using the draconic zodiac provides the skeletal framework. It's the equivalent of having a snapshot of your higher self and its intended evolutionary goals before coming into this incarnation, highlighting important lessons intended to be learned this time around.
Destiny Calls
Where the tropical natal chart and the draconic charts intersect, there's much information to gain; in essence, this is destiny calling.
As you can see, the structure of the chart remains the same but the planets and angles will have changed sign. In my Draconic chart, my Tropical Sun has shifted from Libra to Sagittarius. Indeed, although using the traditional western Tropical zodiac, my chart is primarily air (6 planets), using the Draconic zodiac, it is primarily fire (6 planets).
Tropical zodiac on the inside compared to Draconic zodiac on the outside ring.
To me this suggests that over many lifetimes, I've nurtured a fiery optimistic, spiritual, philosophical, and holistic approach. This has likely been accomplished through extensive travel as well as a good deal of higher education (Sagittarius).
My natal Tropical Moon in Gemini loves learning, reading everything upon which I can lay my hands. Certainly, this would fuel a continuing need to develop my wisdom but Sagittarius implies more understanding than does Gemini, which is generally more interested in gathering information than doing much with it.
My Draconic Moon in Leo may help here because it comes more from the heart (Leo) than the head (Gemini). Leo brings natural authority and fierce sense of pride to the table, a personal pride that quite honestly, I've never actually felt before. Having my Draconic Mercury in Sagittarius will also help in applying what I learn across a broader board. It might also be the source of my active interest in creative writing, which I've long believed is not really explained by my natal chart.
In my Tropical birth chart I have no fire and so I have never believed that my intuition (fire) was reliable. But then again, looking back over nearly six decades, my intuition never has let me down. I also have struggled keeping up faith in myself and in life in general, but all that fire in my Draconic chart suggests that perhaps I overdid this (i.e. held too high an opinion of myself) in prior lifetimes and so in this life, I needed to learn some humility.
This theme of humility is mirrored in the closest connection I've noted between the two charts – that of the Tropical Pluto sitting close to Draconic Jupiter. Together, these suggest a desire for power that might have got out of hand in past lives. There's also plenty to suggest that Jupiter (king of the gods) is my spiritual guiding light (all that Sagittarius, which Jupiter rules) but in this life my Jupiter in Gemini is in detriment. Perhaps I need to find a new and less traditional way to express my urge for power?
Destiny is Answered
I'm still working with this new zodiac and am very excited about what it might add to my astrological coaching mix. Next, I'll explore midpoints and synastry. There's also a whole new way of thinking about transits and progressions. Watch this space.
The name of the game is shame?
I don't know about you, but I often worry about whether by taking poor decisions, I might be making myself bad karma. Mind you, I'm not even certain what karma is, much less how it might work but I've always been told that 'what goes around does come around' and for the most part, that seems to be true.
Yet, is comeuppance guaranteed? I mean, considering all that's happening in the world of politics at the moment, I really do have to wonder. Might it be that some folks are so blessed that they can do whatever they want without consequence?
Regardless, I opt for sensible guidelines and given that Saturn and Pluto are together dancing their jig in Capricorn, I'll take my lead from them and so 'shame' will be the name of my ethical game.
Rather than thinking of shame as a punishment, as we are often wont to do, I figure shame keeps us from doing things that the person that we want to be ought not to do. In this context, shame is not a painful conclusion but a joyous opportunity.
For Buddhists, shame is the frontline defence against inappropriate actions. Such action not only produces negative karma (locking you into the painful cycle of rebirth) but also leads to difficult rebirths.
Even non-Buddhists find inappropriate actions to be trouble. Folks tend to get annoyed when one steals, murders, and cheats. Likewise, they shy away from those who frequently lose their temper and fail to honour their commitments. Indeed, during the course of a single day, you are confronted with a whole host of activities that someone considers inappropriate. If you wished to comply with all of them, you might as well just stay home.
In reality, we cannot always abide by an external set of rules when deciding what we should or should not do.
Yet assuming that you do want to be ethical, then what standard might you use? I suggest using your own 'sense of shame'.
Elizabethan Protestantism – every day life in the realm
The moderate Protestantism of Elizabeth I was a compromise not only between the Protestant and Catholic faiths but also between the various competing factions in the Protestant movement (i.e. Calvin vs. Luther and Zwingli).
During her long reign, Elizabeth's religious policy made life easier for some and harder for others but, overall, at least initially, it set the nation-state on a more even keel than it had enjoyed in years. If avoiding civil disorder was one of Elizabeth's general political aims, then her religious policy was more of the same.
For certain individuals like John Shakespeare, this doubtless caused considerable consternation. As a Catholic, how should he fulfil his job to remove the trappings of Catholic pomp and circumstance from Stratford's Guild Hall? Although we do not know how he personally felt about this responsibility, we can imagine that it was difficult to part with something so culturally endemic and visually rich as the wall paintings that on his orders, were white-washed.
Similar sentiments may lay at the heart of Roger Martyn's lamentations regarding required changes in his parish church. Like John, Roger was forced to part with an entire way of life (i.e. celebrations and festive meals) to which he had developed an emotional bond. Interestingly, for whatever reason, Roger's accounts highlighted the impact of these changes not on his personal religious feelings and beliefs, but on the outward trappings of such. Not everyone believed such destruction to be wrong. Iconoclasm, such as forced upon Roger and John had biblical roots. For religious men like John Jewel (Apologica Ecclesia Englicanae), such lush and vibrant Catholic imagery was proof positive that, at least according to the scriptures, the Roman Catholics were the heretics, not the Protestants.
For many Catholics, Elizabeth's policy may well have been welcomed, at least at first. Not only did it allow men like John Donne and Ben Jonson to publicly switch their religious allegiance, but it also provided Catholics with a cover under which to carry on (quietly) as before. If they were willing to superficially comply with the requirements demanded by Elizabeth's religious policy, the Catholics were, for the most part ignored. Elizabeth had no desire to meddle with her subject's inner beliefs – i.e. the windows to their souls. However, later in her reign, when fears over the claims of Mary Queen of Scots to the English throne were rampant and religious fighting in Europe accelerated, Elizabeth cracked down on those Catholics who stuck their heads above the proverbial parapet. Doubtless, towards the end of Elizabeth's reign, it again became uncomfortably obvious for Protestants and Catholics alike, that their religious futures were uncertain.
In conclusion, although Elizabeth's moderate religious policy had initially stabilised England's political situation (for better or for worse), but the end of her reign another big and unsettling change was in the cards. Who would know if perhaps if would not be of the same magnitude as that suffered under the auspices of her father, Henry VIII, with the Reformation?
Jung's Astrological Moon
Whilst discussing Jung's Red Book (Liber Novus), Liz Greene reminds us that when interpreting the Moon in an astrological chart, we should keep in mind Jung's vision of the Moon as a fluid, living principle, always in flux.
To assume the astrological Moon corresponds solely to Jung's Anima is a mistake. Equally, it is a mistake to assume that she is solely the nurturing mother. Indeed, Jung saw the astrological Moon as both deeply complex and ambivalent – the archetypal core of which equates to the triple-bodied lunar goddess of antiquity, Hecate.
Consider four of the Red Book's female personages:
Salome – the daughter of Elijah, the wise old prophet who presides of the 'temple of the sun'. Salome, with long black hair and dressed in red, is never pictured without her father. She is associated both with (1) the darkened skies of the 'blood Moon' (reportedly visible at the time of Jesus' crucifixion) and (2) the blood-thirsty seductive temptress, the daughter of Herodias, who demanded the severed head of John the Baptist from her besotted lover. In this regard, Salome is associated with the tarot card, The Hanged Man, who although still possesses his head, is unable to use it (i.e. it is no longer above, but below) symbolising loss of the rational intellect when confronted with realm of the unconscious. Salome is associated with the dark moon. She is bloodthirsty and dangerous.
Old Scholar's Daughter – imprisoned by her father in an old stone castle in midst of a forest, this pale and ghostly girl is shown with the crescent moon. Like the Greek goddess, Persephone, she is prevented by her parent from developing into a fully-grown woman. Although Jung considers her to thus be unworldly, she informs him that she knows more about 'real life' than does he. At the end of their brief chat, Jung has fallen in love with her and she disappears into a shaft of moon light, leaving behind a bunch of red roses. The roses, Liz suggests, links her to Venus, the erotic goddess of the ancient Greeks, who interestingly does not otherwise figure in the Red Book. But unlike with the dangerous eroticism of Salome, Jung had little to fear from this pretty young girl; indeed, she offered him much to learn. Associated with the tarot card, The Moon, the Old Scholar's Daughter offers a doorway to the unconscious, a scary place in which wisdom resides. It is tempting to equate her solely with the crescent moon, but she shares this 'honour' with the Anima.
The Cook – along with the Old Scholar's Daughter, the Cook is associated with the tarot card, The Moon, but the Cook takes this proverbial walk on the dark side to a completely new and different level. Large and fat and always pushing food, The Cook seems simple enough, the traditional house-frau. But in reality, she is unashamedly two-faced. After eating the food (nourishment) she provides, Jung falls asleep and wakes up in the underworld ('the realm of mothers'). In this regard, The Cook is more dangerous than even Salome because what you see with her is never what you get. The Cook is associated with the full moon, also a gateway to the unconscious, but under no circumstances is she to be trusted.
The Anima – although Jung never meets with the Anima, he does depict her dressed in blue and kneeling in prayer. She is at once the celestial mother, the chalice or Holy Grail (drink of her and attain immortality), the spiritual bride and mother, as well as the daughter of the stars. In his tarot deck, Waite shows her as The High Priestess, the guardian of hidden wisdom and spiritual mediator between the worlds, above and below. Notice that the High Priestess sits with the crescent moon at her feet.
In summary, astrologers ought not to consider the astrological Moon as either this or that, but instead as a fluidity that morphs over time. The imagery of the classical triple-bodied lunar goddess, Hecate, is in keeping with Jung's complicated (and often contradictory) lunar journeys. In the Red Book, the astrological Moon represents the entire spectrum of the lunar myth and cycle, from the dark of the new moon and back again. Unlike classical astrology that divides the planets into either malefic or benefic, Jung's astrological Moon at once both and neither. She can be dangerous – even treacherous. Equally, however, she offers the opportunity to plumb the depths for the wisdom that resides in the unconscious- the wisdom each of us must someday tap if we are to further ourselves on that all important path to individuation.

Millennials – an astro-generational profile in action
Let's assume that the generation known as the Millennials (also known as Generation Y) were born between 1982-2004, a period of about twenty-two years.
Let's also assume that a recent article in The Atlantic (16 January 2018) is correct that not only are the Millennials the most 'stressed' generation in recent history, but they also are responsible for an astrological revival. If, as the article purports, stress makes astrology look 'shinier', then what might this generation's stress be all about and how might astrology be helping them to deal with it?
Given that at the moment, the world is characterised by intolerance, lack of discipline, unprincipled behaviour, economic insecurity, and self-serving aggression, we can understand why this generation is feeling stressed. Much of what they hold to be of value (tolerance, freedom, idealism) is being trashed by an older, more experienced generation, a group that the Millennials would love more than anything to be able to respect. We can also understand their interest in astrology. If traditional ways of finding meaning (i.e. religion) are no longer working, being so idealistic, an established, ancient and slightly rebellious wisdom will be naturally appealing. The good news is that in 2025, things should look markedly better for the Millennials. The energy will be freer as well as progressive; much more to their liking.
Detailed Analysis
Year Pluto Neptune Uranus
1982 – 1983 Libra Sagittarius Sagittarius
1984 – 1988 Scorpio Capricorn Sagittarius
1988 – 1995 Scorpio Capricorn Capricorn
1995 – 1996 Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius
1998 – 2003 Sagittarius Aquarius Aquarius
2003 – 2004 Sagittarius Aquarius Pisces
A quick look at the above chart suggests that during the period 1982 -2004, the prominent zodiacal energies were in play:
Sagittarius Expansion, movement, and broad vision. It is also associated with a tolerant attitude, a passion for life as well as a Pollyanna outlook – 'tomorrow' will (somehow) be better. Faith.
Capricorn Patience, determination, reliability, authority, mastery, discipline, tradition, and economic stability. As with fine wine, with Capricorn there's a tendency to markedly improve with age (and experience).
Aquarius Rebellious spirit, youth, and innocence. Humanitarian outlook, uncompromising, idealistic, principled, technologically savvy.
According to Ebertin, the combination of the planets Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus can be summed up as a tendency to feel at the mercy of external conditions, against which one often remains unable to muster a firm stand. This combination also imparts a sympathetic understanding of human nature combined with a progressive spirit.
Astro-profile for Millennials
Tolerant
Freedom-loving
Principled
Respect for wisdom, tradition, age, and authority
In regards to the world in which we currently live, Pluto is in Capricorn, Neptune is in Pisces, Uranus is in Aries (about to move into Taurus). Broadly, this translates into the collapse of traditional authority figures and well as undermined financial security, spirituality is confused and chaotic, the world inspiration is focused on war and aggression. When Uranus enters Taurus in May 2018, expect even more disruption in economic and financial security, although this time it at least it will be both experimental and progressive in nature. New solutions for old problems? Let's hope so!
Stress is about testing and strain. The focus is on the breaking point. The results are hardship, adversity, and affliction. For a generation who is both idealistic and visionary, the reality of present day hardship and adversity will be all the harder to take. Being both principled and tolerant, the Millennials will have a hard time digesting racism and similar 'intolerance'. Whilst they keeping hoping that things will get better, by now, they are probably getting impatient yet don't feel empowered to take action and make a difference. Because of the emphasis of Sagittarius in their makeup, they have a pressing need to discover why this is happening and with traditional religion (as source of meaning) in its continued demise, they may well turn to astrology (an ancient, if not slightly rebellious wisdom) for answers.
I'm also guessing that as a whole, the Millennials will feel like they've come into their own when, in 2025, Pluto finally moves into Aquarius; the energy will not only be more progressive, but also inspired. Uranus will also be shifting into Gemini and with that comes some freedom. Finally, Neptune will shift from Pisces (meltdown) into Aires (action); the waiting is over and time to move forward.
Zen riddles that I like…
Kõ-an – a paradox anecdote or riddle, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logic and provoke a more direct perception of reality called enlightenment.
Kõ-ans have always exercised an intellectual fascination over those who have come in contact with them. Some have found Kõ-ans profound and intellectually challenging while others have dismissed them as meaningless and absurd. But especially for those living in societies built on Enlightenment principles, the anti-rationalism of Kõ-ans has been a large part of their appeal.
Although Reason is useful to conceptualize and categorize, it can also trap us in a limited and arbitrary view of the world. Once Reason gets tangled up with our socially conditioned biases, then rather like blinkers on a horse it can do no more than channel us down a predetermined path.
The practical purpose of Kõ-ans is not to rid us of our intellectual capacity but instead to allow it to function in a dispassionate way. This involves breaking down the everyday tyranny of our conditioned intellect by demonstrating the contradictions and absurdities to which it would otherwise necessarily lead.
Unlike puzzles and riddles, Kõ-ans do not have pat answers. Indeed, many Kõ-ans are not even in the form of a question. When used properly, Kõ-ans set trains of thought in motion and then derail them. With the continuity of our internal dialogue broken, we are no longer able to maintain our (false) sense of reality.
A properly constructed Kõ-an should contain many layers of personal meaning. It is most certainly not a case of 'one size fits all'. According to Buddhist teaching, Truth can only be experienced by those who seek Truth for its own sake. It can never be denied to those who are worthy as equally it can never be imparted to those who are not.
What is Spirituality? I'm sure that I should know…
A client asked for astrological insight on her spirituality. But what she meant by that, she wasn't too sure. I told her she wasn't alone in her confusion and suggested that we explore this together. She wasn't too keen on that, however. For her, spiritualty was too personal.
OK – so I decided to come up with something by myself. It couldn't be that hard, could it? After all, I do have an MA in the Study of Mystical and Religious Experience (University of Kent, at Canterbury). Revisiting my work from that course, I realised that it's harder than I'd anticipated – at least hard in the sense of pinning down anything specific about the definition of spirituality.
For the record, here's my shortlist:
Finding purpose or meaning,
Tuning in to soul or psyche,
Giving over to a 'higher self',
Connecting with deity or the divine.
Granted, I may not know exactly for what I'm looking, but at least, as an astrologer, ought I not know where to look? Astrologically, traces of spirituality (however defined) are bound to show up in one's natal chart. But where exactly should I start?
Jupiter is the most likely culprit, you say? Sure, why not. As long as you realise that Jupiter looks for meaning in your life – not mine – he is, after all a personal planet.
How about Neptune then? There's a distinct possibility. Astrological Neptune most certainly has been ascribed spiritual qualities. But if you're looking for some 'truth', then Neptune will be problematic, as I'm sure you can imagine. If it's one thing about viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses that you can definitely say, it's that what you see is not what you'll get.
How about Saturn, then? At least he doesn't lie. Not only that, but he's hugely practical and possibly good for my bank account. However, upon further reflection I'm forced to admit that Saturn's brand of spirituality probably won't be as uplifting as I'd like. Not only is he dark and dreary, but also associated with death and misfortune. Even if I were willing to overlook that, Saturn is much too keen to point out my weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
If I'm really serious about my spirituality, then maybe I should go for organised religion. After all, they have been established by minds greater than mine. But after consideration, I've decided that I'm not that much into the suffering and sacrifice of Christianity and even if I were, I don't see the worth of a paternalistic god. If He is only going to help those who help themselves, then of what worth is He? Besides I know that 'believing' can be dangerous and suspect that it isn't very spiritual either. I mean, look at the Crusades – they were all about belief – and how 'enlightened' were they?
How about Buddhism? That sounds like my cup of tea. Not only have I pretty much given up consumerism but I'm also into yoga and meditation. Yet all that stuff about non-attachment and ego-surrender doesn't really work that well in the western world, at least not unless I no longer have a mortgage, which unfortunately, I still do.
It's been awhile since I've done much with the ancient mystery religions. Definitely time to revisit those! Whilst I'm at it, modern mystery 'religions' like the Golden Dawn have always fascinated me and then – there's alchemy and the kabbalah!
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Once, I knew a Belgian 'white' witch who had been a powerful (hereditary) black magician. At the height of his powers, he could kill a man just by looking at him, or at least so he said. Sounds a bit much but I believed him – not the least because he had a Pluto Square Mercury and Pluto sextile Venus – both within seconds of arc.
For some, tapping into outer planetary energies like Pluto comes easy. Presto! Results! Yeah! Yet these energies are particularly dangerous because they will remain forever beyond the personal Ego's grasp.
Not surprisingly, then, after partaking in a power battle with other black magicians, my friend awoke in the middle of the Belgian Ardennes with 70% burns over his body. He made promise to himself then and there that if he didn't die, he'd mend his magical ways and he did.
My 'white' witch friend learned the hard way that there are two sides to the magical equation. Because of this, he was always critical of 'New Age' practitioners who focus only on 'goodness' and 'light'.
Like the Sorcerer's Apprentice, the uninitiated usually fail to understand the true nature of the energies at hand and, in their inexperienced hands, things can quickly get out of control. Even in the hands of the very experienced, things can and do go terribly wrong.
I'm only too thankful that I do NOT have Pluto in the mix with with my personal planets. If did, I'd be joining ranks with some seriously powerful witches and ceremonial magicians. That's much too much responsibility for me and I know it. But what if some 'goodness and light' article/post stimulates someone with tight Pluto contacts to play their hand at the game?
A good magician works with the forces of nature – not against them. He knows the difference of what he can and cannot change. A good magician full well knows that there are 'dark forces' in the universe and, whilst he may not actively seek them out, he is prepared to deal with if needs be.
Today and Tomorrow are Queen of Sword's Days
With the Sun in Virgo (discerning) and the Moon in Aries (daring & defiant), today and tomorrow are Queen of Swords days.
The Queen of Swords is not only tenacious, but also prone to being argumentative. Nothing escapes her all-encompassing gaze.
She possesses more than ample intellectual capabilities to process what she's learned. Because she is by nature an independent woman, she is oft seen as secretive and aloof.
If truth be told, she likes it that way because, as the result, she owes her allegiance to none but herself. Most of the time, this serves her well. After all, if she's to accurately discern the motives of others, she can't afford to be, herself, emotionally involved.
Yet her life isn't always easy and it's safe to say that sometimes she resents her reputation as being dangerous or even cruel. The truth of the matter is that she's neither intolerant nor narrow minded as her detractors would have you believe.
The best way to use this energy, is to make keen observations about your environment. With help from this queen, it won't be hard. Just ensure that you use any conclusions you might draw from such observations in an ethical way – else you may find yourself caught up in the nasty thorns of this queen's beloved rose garden. Never forget that the suit of swords in the tarot deck stands both for justice as well as destruction. | {

As you may already be aware of, I hosted two bashes at my house here in San Diego (2010 and 2011) but was not able to host one this year. Unfortunately I never really explained why and I feel I owe my Carvin friends an apology.
The reason I didn't host the party this year is that I ended up in the hospital instead. So back in May, 3 days after I turned 40, I ended up at the hospital and was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called ADEM. In my case an MRI discovered that I had several splits in the mylan coating protecting the nerves in my spinal cord. This caused some numbness and extreme weakness in my legs, even to the point were I could not walk for about a week and a half. So as you can guess I was in no mood or condition to lug 100 pound cabinets from my upstairs jam room to the garage to host another bash. The good news is that I am back on my feet, and even though I'm not at 100%, I'm confident that it will get better (crosses fingers).
I'm not fishing for sympathy or anything like that, (believe me I've done enough "whoa is me" for a dozen people) but I was just reading another post about bashes or lack there of and felt that I really need to address the San Diego 2012 bash and why I wasn't able to host it. So again I'd like to say I'm sorry for not keeping my forum friends in the loop regarding the San Diego/Alpine/Orange county bash.
All that being said I am motivated to make the 2013 the biggest one yet! So I'll be trying to work that one up for the next 4th of July (our normal weekend for the bash).
Flock's sparkle finished SB. By the way he did this himself, and it is not a Carvin option.
Anyway I hope you folks enjoyed the pics and have a great day.
Good luck with your illness! I have a friend with MS, which I believe is somewhat similar, and it is somewhat life changing, but as long as you roll with it and take care of yourself, that usually can help mitigate it a lot.
Wish you all the best, I'm glad you're better now! When this next bash happens I'll make sure I drive down to SD from LA to be a part of it!
Yes what I have is similar to MS. With MS the splits in the mylan happen over time and keep popping up, while with ADEM it tends to be all at once and a one time thing. I talked with my neurologist on Friday and it looks like another MRI is in my future. Hopefully its fixing itself and I can go on with my life and forget about all of this crap.
It would be great to meet with you at the next one. So the first one was very last minute, and the second went a bit better. Like I said now that we missed 2012, I think 2013 needs to be even bigger to make up for lost time. Even though I was running around playing host, it was still a lot of fun. Heck we even had a father son jam playin' Zep and Santana. Oh and Flock got behind the kit and showed off his drumming chops for his wife... and the food... oh my!
If I didn't live all the way the hell on the other side of the country, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Jams are SO much fun! | {

Both the run and walk courses will start and end in front of St. Francis Borgia School, 1425 Covered Bridge Road, Cedarburg, WI (North of 5-Corners).
The run is a little longer than 5K (3.4mi) and is a loop around a mostly rural, scenic area in the Town of Cedarburg. About 1/2 of the run is on a paved bike trail. See the map below.
The walking route will be on streets and a cross country trail designed by La Rosa Landscape Co. Some strollers may have trouble along the route, depending on weather conditions. Thicker tired "baby jogger" type strollers will be fine.
Please check the weather before you head out in the morning, and dress accordingly. A northwest wind is typical in November and it will be cold on race day. Brrrrr! | {

I visited the New Vic on Tuesday night to see its latest offering "Intemperance".
Every time I visit, I always wonder how the set is going to look but it is never disappointing, a lot of effort and style goes into each production.
For this, the set is a square block, which forms a basic basement style room. During the play two cast members rotate it to give everyone part of the round the chance to see it from various angles.
Intemperance, a revival of Lizzie Nunnery's award-winning play, is a very thought-provoking production, which is set around 165 years ago about an immigrant Irish family living in the slums of Liverpool, there are references to Lime Street and The Grapes pub (which if it's the same one, I have visited myself which stands to this day along Matthew Street).
Before the play begins, Irish music resonates from the theatre speakers and onto the concourse area of the New Vic, which helps to get you into the spirit and appreciate the music, of which local musicians have recorded for the play. Due to me driving, the only thing missing for me was the pints of Guinness to round off the Irish theme.
This is a story of a family who moved from Ireland to Liverpool, to try to make a better life for themselves, but ended up living in poverty and craving meat, a food in which is a luxury they cannot simply afford.
Millie, played by the magnificent Krissi Bohn (who I adored in Table at The New Vic), strives for the better life her husband Brynjar (Oystein Kanestrom) promises, but as Intemperance plays out, you can see the battles she faces from her demons as all she has ever known is the graft and the continuous need to fight for respect.
She is expecting her third baby while living with her son Ruairi (Thomas Grant) and older daughter Niamh (Niamh Finlay).
In the corner, waiting to die and entertaining everyone (including the audience) with memories of his wild times, is her father Fergal played by the wonderful John O'Mahony. He particularly reminded me of my own grandfather who told me stories and tales during his world war 2 days, some maybe not have been true but I never would have known. John's humour and comic timing is there to see throughout the play. The family, typically classed in society as the undeserving poor, drinking their lives away as they know nothing else.
Life is painful in the slums of Liverpool. Cholera is taking hold of the vulnerable and Millie herself is scared for her unborn baby. Parts of the play left me shocked and saddened, but due to the characters of the play, we were soon laughing as the family showed their true grit and never say die attitude with lots of humour.
For me, Zoe Waterman wonderfully directs this play with panache, but I expected nothing else following her recent offering, Table.
During the car journey home, it occurred to me that even though the play is set 165 years ago, certain aspects of it still happen today, like poverty, people living on the streets and there is still the class of society divided across the UK. | {

Ben Keating believes IMSA's plan to eliminate all 'Super Silvers' from the GT Daytona class is an "impossible" task, amid the sanctioning body's claims to crack down on the global driver rating epidemic.
IMSA announced last weekend the formation of a driver evaluation committee, which will review each driver's recorded pace in WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races and relay suggested reclassifications to the FIA, which controls the worldwide ratings system.
The committee, headed by veteran IMSA official Paul Walter, will also hold the right to adjust driver's categorization based on the "specific nature" in the series.
While IMSA President Scott Atherton says Super Silvers, to the best of its ability, will "be a thing of the past", the Riley Motorsports driver, and other GTD participants argue that it cannot be achieved under the current regulations.
"They say they're going to get rid of the 'Super Silvers' but it's impossible," Keating told Sportscar365. "There's always going to be somebody that will sneak through.
"I was not 100 percent satisfied with what was said [at the State of the Series] because I just don't believe that IMSA is willing to flex their muscle and do the asterisk on the bottom and re-rate anyone they want.
"They can but I have serious doubts whether they will.
Michael Shank, however, has urged to give the newly assembled committee a chance before jumping to conclusion.
Both of Meyer Shank Racing's Silver-rated drivers, Katherine Legge and Justin Marks, could end up fitting into IMSA's new purely data-driven criteria that forms the basis of potential reclassifications.
"I support what they're doing with the Silvers and I understand the logic behind that," Shank told Sportscar365.
"There's going to be some slippery stuff still. It's just inevitable. People will slide through the cracks that they don't have enough data on.
Fellow team owner Will Turner, meanwhile, believes the newly pledged driver enforcements will help lead to the elimination of factory or heavily works-supported teams in the Pro-Am-based class.
"If you eliminate fake Silvers then you give value to the gentlemen drivers, who will then come back to the series and compete against other gentlemen drivers and not compete against factories that have the money to hire fake Silvers," Turner told Sportscar365.
"This should eliminate a lot of the factory involvement. A program will have to run with a legitimate Silver.
Keating, however, is skeptical it will lead to fewer manufacturer-backed teams on the grid.
"I really dislike the fact there's some factory teams out there, with factory budgets and all-pro lineups," he said.
IMSA has put all of its resources behind the Driver Evaluation Committee, according to Atherton, who said it will not be a "one and done" process.
"It's relatively limited when you think there's 3,000 rated drivers and there's probably a dozen described that can be as problematic," Atherton told Sportscar365.
Atherton said the re-classification recommendations to the FIA will be made prior to the publishing of the first draft release of the 2019 FIA driver ratings, which typically comes out in November.
While holding the right to make adjustments on its own, IMSA will not adjust any drivers mid-season. | {

Q: How do I request Postgres for counts for different dates from a certain time series? I have a table of visits like this:
time | user_id
--------------------------------
2018-05-01 00:00:00+02 | 56
2018-05-01 00:00:00+02 | 64
2018-05-01 00:00:00+02 | 56
2018-05-02 00:00:00+02 | 27
2018-05-02 00:00:00+02 | 64
...
I want to request Postgres database for the quantity of active users per date. A user is active if he has visits at 10 separate dates for the previous 30 days. For example, for the quantity at date 2018-05-22 the query would be:
select count(*) from (
select
user_id,
count(distinct time::date) as cnt
from visit
where
time::date > '2018-05-22'::date - interval '30 days'
group by user_id
having count(distinct time::date) >= 10
order by cnt desc
) t
The result is one number. It works correct. What should I modify in this query in order to obtain the quantities for each date from a certain time series? The required result should be like this:
date | quantity
---------------------
2018-05-01 | 38
2018-05-02 | 26
2018-05-03 | 35
2018-05-04 | 44
...
A: First, create a calendar table, full of all of the dates you'll ever need.
Say, from '1900-01-01' to '2099-12-31'?
Then it's basically a JOIN...
SELECT
calendar_date, count(*)
FROM
(
SELECT
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date,
visit.user_id,
COUNT(DISTINCT visit.time::date) as cnt
FROM
CALENDAR_TABLE
INNER JOIN
visit
ON visit.time >= CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date - interval '30 days'
AND visit.time < CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date + interval '01 days'
WHERE
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date BETWEEN '2018-05-01' AND '2018-05-22'
GROUP BY
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date,
visit.user_id
HAVING
COUNT(DISTINCT visit.time::date) >= 10
) t
GROUP BY
calendar_date
Or perhaps...
SELECT
calendar_date, count(*)
FROM
(
SELECT
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date,
visit.user_id,
COUNT(*) as cnt
FROM
CALENDAR_TABLE
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
user_id,
time::date AS user_date
FROM
visit
GROUP BY
user_id,
time::date
)
visit
ON visit.user_date >= CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date - interval '30 days'
AND visit.user_date < CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date + interval '01 days'
WHERE
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date BETWEEN '2018-05-01' AND '2018-05-22'
GROUP BY
CALENDAR_TABLE.calendar_date,
visit.user_id
HAVING
COUNT(*) >= 10
) t
GROUP BY
calendar_date
That may reduce memory overhead, but may make the joins and filtering slower...
A: The simplest method uses generate_series():
select g.dte, count(*)
from (select g.dte, v.user_id, count(distinct v.time::date) as cnt
from generate_series('2018-05-01'::date, '2018-05-22'::date, interval '1 day') g(dte) left join
visit v
on v.time::date <= g.dte and
v.time::date > '2018-05-22'::date - interval '30 days'
group by g.dte, v.user_id
having count(distinct v.time::date) >= 10
) vd
group by g.dte
order by g.dte;
If you have a large volume of data, there might be faster ways. If that is an issue, ask another question.

Soundscape field recording of the subtropical forest surrounding the Macuco Trail, located in the Iguazú National Park (Argentina-Brazil border). Recorded in 2010.
I spent all morning visiting the impressive waterfalls and by the afternoon I was completely overwhelmed by the crowds of visitors. My attempts to record any nature sounds were frustrating and I eventually got stopped by the park guards, who worried that I was trying to catch rare birds for the illegal trade. Fair play to them for being careful. I diligently went through all my gear with them, what each button did and how it worked, arguing that i had the same goal as the photographers with their mega-zoom lenses - If anything I was less intrusive - but they weren't having any of it. An hour or so later, after I had clearly bored them to death, they released me (and my equipment!).
During my visit at the ranger's office, I had time to study the park's map and spotted this trail that lead to a remote waterfall. It was time for some freshening up and - I hoped - a bit of downtime from the masses. I packed the gear and promised the rangers I wouldn't be using it again. On the away walk I restrained myself by thinking about the fresh swim awaiting at the waterfall. On the walk back however, as visitors started to thin out, I couldn't resist the urge.
PS - I will say I'm pleased they stopped me because the trade of wild birds is a real problem with disastrous consequences for the species.
