Scottish nationalists are pushing for independence from the UK next year, but are facing a steep uphill battle as the country’s own parliament is unlikely to support it.
The Scottish National Party says it wants to introduce a referendum to secede from the rest of the United Kingdom in 2010. While the nationalists are currently in the majority in the Scottish parliament, they are only a minority administration (in that the total number of seats the SNP possess is not more than other parties’ combined) therefore making it more difficult to pass any sort of referendum.
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond has called for support and said there was a “consensus” for change in Scotland.
“I want Scotland to have the same responsibilities and opportunities as similar nations,” Salmond said.
Those opposing the referendum said that the minority government had misplaced its priorities and should focus more on the economy and crime.
“This year’s flagship, the referendum bill, was pre-announced last year. It starts with even less support than the late, unlamented council tax bill of last year,” Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray said.
The current conflict comes right on the heels of the widely condemned release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, further deepening the divide within Scotland and increasing tension with London.
Al-Megrahi is the Libyan national convicted in 2001 for his part in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988 which killed 270 people.
The Scottish government had asked parliament to show a vote of compassion that is “consistent with the principles of Scottish justice.” The Lockerbie bomber currently suffers from terminal cancer and, according to his doctors, has less than three months to live.
The decision drew widespread criticism from London and abroad. In a 73-50 vote the Scottish parliament backed an amendment condemning the release of al-Megrahi.
The Scottish National Party was formed in 1934 and, while it did not initially call for separation, it now campaigns for full independence from Westminster.
Currently, the Scottish Parliament carries autonomy in issues regarding justice, health and education. However, power over issues regarding defense and foreign affairs still reside with parliament in London. | 2019-04-25T12:30:58 | https://www.rt.com/russia/scotland-nationalists-independence-uk/ |

A beautiful and wealthy woman in the market for a husband believes she has found the right man -- only to discover he isn't especially interested, in this comedy based on a play by George Bernard Shaw. Epifania Parerga (Sophia Loren) is a woman who has inherited a vast fortune, making her the wealthiest woman on Earth. All Parerga really wants is a happy marriage, but her first stab at matrimony, with Alastair (Gary Raymond), is a disaster, and when she visits a psychiatrist in hopes of learning what she did wrong, her analyst, Dr. Adrian (Dennis Price), attempts to seduce her. Parerga is nearly ready to give up when she meets Dr. Ahmed el Kabir) (Peter Sellers), a shy and well-mannered Indian physician who operates a clinic for the underprivileged. While Kabir is personable, he seems to have no interest in Parerga's money and is unfazed by her beauty; convinced he can love her simply for who she is, Parerga decides Kabir is the man for her. However hard Parerga tries to throw herself at him, Kabir refuses to budge, and even after she bankrolls a new clinic for him, he does not respond to her advances. Eventually, Parerga offers Kabir a challenge -- she bets him that he can't triple his profits at his new clinic in three months, while he in turn wagers her that she cannot live without money for the same period of time. A spin-off of the The Millionairess was a novelty song called "Goodness Gracious Me", in which Sellers and Loren duetting as a doctor from India and his alluring patient; a recording of the tune became a hit single in the United Kingdom. | 2019-04-20T10:16:59 | https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-millionairess-v70669 |

This morning I just learned from a friend that our Rainbow Warrior Ryan Dale Smith had passed away this mid- December. How sad.
I never had the chance to meet him personally, but I did follow his Jon Doe Youtube videos, which I found quite interesting. I used to enjoy talking to him and looked forward to meeting him someday in Tokyo.
He had reported on Fukushima from inside Japan very courageously since day one during the past years. One of the very few to do it with quality and no nonsense.
Ryan Dale Smith was a rough uncut diamond shining by his wits and his sincerity. His deeply-felt loyalty to the working class shined out.
We will miss you Ryan. Peace to your soul on your journey.
My condolences to his wife and daughter, and mother.
During the early hours of Tuesday, Dec. 12, Tozen Union member Ryan Smith (aka Jon Doe) passed away. He was 37.
He is survived by his wife, Makiko Kono, his 1-year-old daughter, Kayla, and his mother, Carrie Lester Plaster.
From Athens, West Virginia, Ryan studied journalism at Concord University. He moved to Japan in 2008 and taught English to adults and children.
Ryan loved to talk politics and never missed a chance to declare his commitment to Marxist revolution and his pride in his rural, working-class roots. His YouTube channel has over 1,800 subscribers.
But he loved nothing as much as his tiny daughter, Kayla. Since her birth, nearly every Facebook entry he posted included photos or video of her.
“I don’t believe in God, but I believe that humans have a special spark in them. I don’t believe humans have a soul, but I know there is a common feeling which binds all of humanity.
“I don’t believe in heaven or hell, but I know those who stomp on their fellow human beings have to hide from the rest of us to avoid being hung by a rope in the streets.
SAN DIEGO (CN) – Former Senator John Edwards and his co-counsel on Thursday asked a federal judge not to transfer to Japan a class action by hundreds of U.S. sailors exposed to radiation in the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
An initial group of sailors sued Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TepCo) and General Electric in 2012. A second class action from sailors sent to render aid after the earthquake and tsunami was filed in San Diego Federal Court last August.
The March 11, 2011 tsunami caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to shut down, but loss of circulation water coolant led to meltdowns and explosions whose radioactive releases may not be completely cleaned up for centuries.
More than 420 U.S. service members in the two cases seek compensation and medical monitoring, testing and health care costs for exposure to radiation. Some sailors have died from complications of radiation exposure since the cases were filed, and more than 20 are living with cancer, according to the lawsuits.
U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino on Thursday considered motions to dismiss from TepCo and GE. They claim that California courts have no jurisdiction over events in Japan. Sammartino also considered a choice-of-law motion from General Electric, which wants to apply Japanese law to the case or have it transferred to Japan.
TepCo operated the Fukushima nuclear plant; GE designed its nuclear reactors.
TepCo attorney Gregory Stone, with Munger, Tolles & Olson in Los Angeles, said all claims brought in the United States could be brought in Japan and that the statute of limitations has not run out in Japan’s court system.
GE attorney Michael Schissel, with Arnold & Porter in New York, said the case belongs in Japan, where the facts originated and the witnesses are. Schissel said the Japanese government declared the nuclear meltdown was not a natural disaster, so TepCo could be held liable for damages.
But Edwards, whose firm Edwards Kirby is based in North Carolina, said it’s important to look at the situation “from altitude,” to see things from the sailors’ perspective.
“These are American sailors, American employees serving their country, who were sent on American ships on international waters at the request of the Japanese government … their ally, which owns the majority of stock in defendant TepCo,” Edwards said.
Edwards said that since the vast majority of the sailor-plaintiffs were stationed in San Diego and GE designed the nuclear reactors at its San Jose headquarters, the case belongs in California.
“They want the case in Japan because they know it goes away; that’s clearly their strategy,” Edwards said.
Bonner added that California has a vested interest in applying its own laws, including strict liability for defective products, and punitive damages to deter companies from selling defective products. He pointed out that one-sixth of the U.S. Navy is based in San Diego, with 69 Navy ships in San Diego Harbor.
“(Japan’s) compensation act has not been applied to their own citizens, only businesses. Why should we speculate their compensation act will help our sailors? It will not,” Bonner said.
Stone countered that Bonner was “simply wrong” in claiming that the Japanese nuclear damage compensation act had not benefited individual Japanese citizens. He said it is the conduct of defendants TepCo and GE – which occurred in Japan – and not the plaintiffs’ place of residence that should determine jurisdiction over the case.
Sammartino indicated she will want further briefing from the attorneys before ruling on the motion to dismiss.
Absorbed doses of ionising radiation are defined as an average of the energy that is transferred into large volumes of body tissue. This approach is valid for considering external exposures, like X-rays or natural gamma (cosmic rays) but not for situations where radioactive substances inside the body irradiate microscopic volume of tissue selectively. Particles of Uranium and Plutonium are examples; the range of their alpha emissions is so tiny that all the energy is concentrated into a few hundred cells. Some call this kind of situation “pinpoint radiation”. Using absorbed dose to assess the potential health damage is like a doctor examining a child whose skin is covered with small red marks.
Now look, Mrs. Smith, I’m a doctor and I’m telling you even if your lodger does stub out his cigarette on little Nelly’s tummy there’s no problem because she absorbs very little energy from it. You give her a far bigger dose when you put in her a nice warm bath.
The trick was pulled in the depths of World War 2, subverting the science of radiation protection in order to protect the Manhattan Project and the A-bomb; it has served to protect the nuclear industry ever since.
Until the 1920s the main focus of radiation protection was external X-rays, but the Radium dial painters’ scandal made it obvious that internal effects needed specific investigation. This led to new standards determined by looking at the actual effects of radium in the dissected tissues of people.
Radium is produced by the radioactive decay of natural Uranium. Its own radioactive decay emits alpha particles. Unlike X-rays and gamma rays, alphas have very little penetrating power so they are only hazardous once they’re inside the body. Even then they don’t travel far but the downside is that all their energy is deposited in a very small volume of cells.
From the earliest years of the 20th century luminous Radium paint was applied to the faces of clocks, watches and compasses to make them glow in the dark. World War 1 boosted demand and through the following decades hundreds of girls and women were employed to paint dials and pointers with various brands of paint – Undark, Luna and Marvelite. They would routinely put the tips of their paint brushes between their lips to obtain a fine point for the trickier numerals. By 1923 it was clear that the Radium they thus ingested was causing dreadful, agonising and frequently fatal illnesses.
Radium mostly lodges in bone, so the diseases affected the blood-forming function of the women’s bone marrow, leading to anaemia. Those with higher body burdens had ulcers and their bones were weakened to the point where vertebrae collapsed and legs would break spontaneously. The first deaths directly attributed to Radium Necrosis came in 1925. The inventor of the Undark brand died like his workers, his bone marrow destroyed and his hands, mouth and jaw bones eaten away. Court cases, compensation payments and improved workplace practices followed (a ban on licking brushes was the first) but for a decade and a half there were no mandatory exposure limits.
By 1941 America was once more tooling up for industrialised warfare and the government was ordering large numbers of luminized instruments. By that time the global total of Radium extracted from the earth’s crust was only 1.5 kilograms but, already, the deaths of more than a hundred people were attributable to its processing and use. Officials insisted that safety standards be devised, including a tolerance limit for internal Radium. A committee of the National Bureau of Standards looked to a post mortem study of Radium dial painters and people who had been exposed to Radium through medical treatments. They saw that there were detectable injuries in all the bodies which contained a total of 1.2 micrograms of Radium but no injuries were discernible in those containing 0.5 micrograms or less. The committee settled on 0.1 micrograms as a cut-off. The history books show they knew this was a highly subjective stab in the dark.
Since Radium decays to Radon gas officials were able to use Radon as an indicator for metering. From then on, Radium workers were required to breathe into an ion chamber which detected the radioactive decays of Radon and its own daughter, Polonium. An immediate change of occupation was recommended as soon as the level indicated that a worker’s body contained more than 0.1 micrograms of Radium.
World War 2 was midwife to the principle of nuclear fission, a completely novel substance – Plutonium – and the possibility of a Plutonium-powered bomb. The Manhattan Project was set up to make Plutonium for the bomb in secret and in near total ignorance of its effects on health. It was known to be an alpha emitter so, for expediency, the standards for Radium were extended to Plutonium, modified by animal experiments comparing the effects of the two substances.
All this – both the Radium standard and the Plutonium standard derived from it – was primitive science which had no way of detecting subtle lesions and cancers which may take decades to appear. The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA was still a decade away and for another 50 years no-one suspected the existence of epigenetic effects (genomic instability and the bystander effect). So the safety standards were unlikely to reflect long-term health effects but they did have the huge philosophical advantage of being rooted in reality; the Radium researchers had followed the essentially scientific principle of looking for a relationship between cause and effect. Maybe this was because they were medical practitioners, campaigners for workers’ rights and newspapers eager for the human interest angle on any story. Maybe their investigation enjoyed some liberty because the dial painting industry was owned privately, rather than by any government, and because at that time the fate of the “free” world did not seem to hang on the outcome.
By 1944 everything had changed. Plutonium was being produced in significant amounts and any potential it might have to kill its own workforce now affected a top-level policy funded by a bottomless budget with the imperative of building the bomb before Stalin could. More crucially for the scientific principles of radiological safety, physicians were no longer in charge, but physicists.
The agent of change was a British physicist, Herbert Parker, head of radiation protection at the Manhattan Project. His earlier career in British hospitals had made him familiar with X-rays and a kind of therapy that used Radium as an external source, confining it in tubes and placing it carefully to irradiate cancerous tissues. (This medical application had been tried as early as 1904, only six years after Radium was discovered. In marked contrast to the dial painters’ problems, it didn’t involve Radium becoming inextricably mingled with a patient’s bones.) Parker had a physics-based view; radiation was a single phenomenon, whether it came from an X-ray machine or a speck of Plutonium. As with light, where the physicist isn’t too interested in whether the source is a light bulb or the sun, Parker was concerned with how much energy the radiation delivered to the tissue of interest. The language here is of ergs, from the Greek for work. It is defined in dynes, the Greek for force; the units are physical – movement, velocity, grammes of mass, centimetres of length, seconds of time.
Parker was one of the first to call himself a Health Physicist. In his world there was no call for a bedside manner.
Using his physicist’s approach, Parker shifted the focus from direct investigation of the effects of specific substances onto a new concept – radiation dose – which he could apply to radiation from any source and all sources, providing a way to assess workers’ total exposure to all the novel nuclides the Manhattan Project was now creating. He defined a unit of dose in ergs per gramme of tissue and called it the Roentgen Equivalent Physical, or rep. Its very name betrays the mindset; Wilhelm Roentgen was the discoverer of X-rays (for a long time they were called Roentgen rays). The source of X-rays is always outside the body, so we can see the understanding of dose, and hence risk, was now to be based on an external paradigm.
The first limit for Plutonium in the body based on Parker’s dose model was set at 0.01 reps per day, a quantity which exactly matched the energy deposition from the old tolerance limit of 0.1 microgramme of Radium. No change there then. What did change was that instead of the empirical scientific inquiry based on actual tissue damage and instead of the tentative subjectivity of the 1941 Standards Bureau Committee’s decision on a Radium level, the new model gave an impression of mathematical precision, certainty and universal applicability. This was the new, square-jawed and confident nuclear era where bombs of unimaginable power would biff the Red Menace into oblivion and unlimited atomic energy would fuel everything in a world of peace and plenty.
Any risk model needs two types of data – for exposure and for effect. Unfortunately, there were no reliable data even for X-rays despite 50 years’ experience. There was too much variability in the machines and the conditions in which they were used; doses were largely unknowable and many of the long-term effects had yet to emerge. But after 1945 the surviving people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki provided the authorities with a fresh opportunity. Funded and controlled by America, data on the survivors’ health was gathered (as it still is) in what have become known as the Life Span Studies or LSS.
A full analysis of the flaws in the LSS is beyond me. As far as studying internal radioactivity is concerned the flaw is fatal; the control population providing the base-line of expected rates of disease, to be compared with disease in the exposed population, was recruited from the bombed cities themselves – they had either been outside the city when the bomb fell, or in some other way were shielded from the flash of the explosion. The “exposed” population consisted of people who had been in the open and so received a large dose of external gamma rays. But both groups ingested and inhaled just as much fallout as each other, so the LSS are totally silent on internal radiation. The only difference between them was the external irradiation. LSS nevertheless is the basis of radiation protection standards all over the world to this day for both external and internal.
I feel like a father who is ashamed of his children.
In 1950, American influence revived the International X-ray and Radium Protection Committee (IXRPC), which had been dormant during the war. In fact only two of its members were still alive and one of those was an American who was Chairman of the American NCRP. But needs must, and an international body would probably look more credible than a unilateral American one, so IXRPC was reborn as the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). In reality ICRP was just an overseas branch of the NCRP and in 1953 it adopted the NCRP report wholesale.
An epilogue is a short speech at the end of a play. In the case of this drama it’s hard to be brief. I’ll give two snapshots – one is global, the other is a family tragedy.
In 1986 the accident at Chernobyl spread fallout round the whole planet and millions of people inhaled and ingested it. Thousands of published reports from Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Britain, and even as far west as the Californian coast show a wide range of post-accident health effects not predicted by ICRP’s model. In 2007 ICRP adopted new Recommendations in which there is a single reference to one study of Chernobyl. It’s a paper on thyroid cancer. They cite it for the sole purpose of establishing that it’s so hard to be sure what doses the patients had got from the fallout that the accident can tell us nothing useful. ICRP clings so hard to the dogma of dose that they are willing to rob the human race of the chance to learn about the results of the worst ever reactor accident (I wrote this before Fukushima).
This is one among millions of similar stories, but enough detailed information has leaked out to let us learn from it.
In May 2007 The Guardian (linked here or here) and The Times carried reports of a Cumbrian woman’s shock at finding out what had happened to her father 36 years earlier.
Angela Christie’s father, Malcolm Pattinson, died of leukaemia in 1971. He was 36 years old and he worked at Sellafield. Or he had worked there; the Times reported that by the time he died he had been off work for 18 months because his wife feared for his health. As soon as he was dead his employers made frantic efforts to obtain organs and bones from his body. The local coroner, doctors and solicitors were involved but the family was neither consulted nor informed. In 1979, after a long battle during which the employers admitted liability, an out-of-court settlement brought Mr. Pattinson’s widow and daughters compensation payments variously reported as £52000 and £67000.
All this happened when Malcolm’s daughter Angela was in her teens. She grew up and went to work at Sellafield like her father. She married and had three children of her own. Then she read in a newspaper that her father had been one of many men in the industry whose organs had been harvested for radiological research. She asked for the legal papers and received several boxes full.
They’re quite shocking, which may indicate why Mr Pattinson’s employers were so interested in snatching his body parts. His liver contained 673 times as much Plutonium as the average for a sample of Cumbrians who had not worked in the nuclear industry and his lungs had well over 7000 times as much. His liver had 53 times the amount of Plutonium found in the most contaminated of the nuclear workers in other reports and his lungs had 42 times as much. Mr. Pattinson’s body burden was far greater than any other worker data I have seen. I conclude that he had either been involved in an accident or had been working in an unacceptably dirty environment. Either would be a scandal, but the far wider scandal is that the industry and the government would not see even those monstrous levels as a likely cause of his death.
From the data published in the Guardian I calculated the radiation dose Mr. Pattinson received from his body burden of Plutonium. Using the same methods as the ICRP I worked out the annual dose at 26 milliSieverts. That’s about ten times the usual (bogus) yardstick of natural background but it would have been nothing very remarkable in the early 1970s. Even today, when standards are more cautious, employers would still not be breaking the law by exposing a worker to such a dose so long as it wasn’t for more than one year in five.
ICRP’s risk estimates would not predict that a 26mSv dose would cause Mr. Pattinson’s leukaemia, in just the same way as they do not predict the cluster of childhood leukaemia at Seascale, next door to Sellafield — the doses are far too low. According to ICRP, if Mr. Pattinson was going to die of any cancer, the chance that it would be caused by the Plutonium in his body was only 1.3 in a 1000.
To the person in the street the idea that fatal leukaemia in a young man is 770 times more likely to be caused by bad luck, bad genes, bad diet, smoking, a virus or an act of God than by the acts of an employer who contaminated him heavily with a bone-seeking, alpha-emitting radionuclide may seem insane. It is insane. It is insane in the way Dr. Strangelove was insane; the logic is impeccable but the theoretical premises are wrong. The good news is that growing numbers of scientists are recognising that ICRP is in error. These include Jack Valentin, the man who recently retired as ICRP’s Scientific Secretary.
The 2005 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection: Draft for Consultation were published in late 2004. The final version has not been published at the date of writing (early November 2006) and ICRP tells us publication has in fact been set back by the IRSN’s report on the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR).
The ICRP 2004 draft contains many statements revealing the incomplete state of knowledge of radiation risk. Many of them have been watered down in the 2006 draft or have disappeared altogether.
Here we reproduce extracts from the 2004 draft which confirm the validity of our long-standing concerns about heterogeneity of energy distribution. The ICRP’s response to heterogeneity is to employ assumptions. Most are individually questionable and when taken together, as they must be, they are simply not acceptable as a system of radiation protection. The upshot is that “dose” is an effectively meaningless term yet the industry’s regulators have no other terms with which to assess and quantify risks. Reassurances about “trivial doses” are revealed as empty.
(37) The relationship between radiation exposures and health effects is complex. The physical processes linking exposure and doses in human tissues involve energy transport at the molecular level. The biological links between this energy deposition and the resulting health effects involve molecular changes in cells. In Publication 60 (ICRP, 1991) , the Commission recognised that the gross (macroscopic) quantities used in radiological protection omitted consideration of the discontinuous nature of the physical and biological processes of ionisation. However, it concluded that their use was justified empirically by the observation that the gross quantities (with adjustments for different types of radiation) correlate reasonably well with the resulting biological effects. It further recognised that more use might eventually be made of other quantities based on the statistical distribution of events in a small volume of material, corresponding to the dimensions of biological entities such as the nucleus of the cell or its DNA. Meanwhile, for practical reasons, the Commission continues to use the macroscopic quantities.
(42) […] At the low doses generally of concern in radiological protection, the fluctuation of energy imparted can be substantial between individual cells and within a single hit cell. This is the case particularly for densely ionising radiations such as alpha-particles and charged particles from neutron interactions.
(44) Absorbed dose is defined based on the expectation value of the stochastic quantity e, energy imparted, and therefore does not consider the random fluctuation of the interaction events. It is defined at any point in matter and, in principle, is a measurable quantity, i.e. it can be determined experimentally and by computation. The definition of absorbed dose has the scientific rigour required for a fundamental quantity. It takes implicitly account of the radiation field as well as of all of its interactions inside and outside the specified volume. It does not, however, consider the atomic structure of matter and the stochastic nature of the interactions.
(46) For densely ionising radiation (charged particles from neutrons and alpha-particles) and low doses of low LET radiation, the frequency of events in most cells is zero, in a few it is one and extremely exceptionally more than one. The value of energy imparted in most individual cells is then zero but in the hit cells it will exceed the mean value by orders of magnitude. These large differences in the energy deposition distribution in microscopic regions for different types (and energies) of radiation have been related to observed differences in biological effectiveness or radiation quality.
(47) In the definition of radiological protection quantities no attempts are made to specify these stochastic distributions at a microscopic level. Even the quality factor used in the definition of operational quantities is dependent on LET only which also is a non stochastic quantity. Instead a pragmatic and empirical approach has been adopted to take account of radiation quality differences – and therefore implicitly also of the differences in distributions of energy imparted in microscopic regions – by defining radiation weighting factors. The selection of these factors is mainly a judgement based on the results of radiobiological experiments.
(48) While absorbed dose is defined to give a specific value (averaged in time) at any point in matter, averaging of doses over larger tissue volumes is often performed when using the quantity absorbed dose in practical applications, as in radiological protection. It is especially assumed for stochastic effects at low doses that such a mean value can be correlated with the risk of a detriment to this tissue with sufficient accuracy. The averaging of absorbed dose and the summing of mean doses in different organs and tissues of the human body, as given in the definition of all the protection quantities, is only possible under the assumption of a linear dose-response relationship with no threshold (LNT). All protection quantities rely on these hypotheses.
(49) Protection quantities are based on the averaging of absorbed dose over the volume of a specified organ or tissue. The extent to which the average absorbed dose in an organ is representative of the absorbed dose in all regions of the organ depends on a number of factors. For external radiation exposure, this depends on the degree of penetration of the radiation incident on the body. For penetrating radiation (photons, neutrons) , the absorbed dose distribution within a specified organ may be sufficiently homogeneous and thus the average absorbed dose is a meaningful measure of the absorbed dose throughout the organ or tissue. For radiation with low penetration or limited range (low-energy photons, charged particles) as well as for widely distributed organs (e.g. bone marrow) exposed to non-uniform radiation flux, the absorbed dose distribution within the specified organ may be very heterogeneous.
(50) For radiations emitted by radionuclides residing within the organ or tissue, so-called internal emitters, the absorbed dose distribution in the organ depends on the penetration and range of the radiations and the homogeneity of the activity distribution within the organs or tissues. The absorbed dose distribution for radionuclides emitting alpha particles, soft beta particles, low-energy photons, and Auger electrons may be highly heterogeneous. This heterogeneity is especially significant if radionuclides emitting low-range radiation are deposited in particular parts of organs or tissues, e.g. plutonium on bone surface or radon daughters in bronchial mucosa and epithelia. In such situations the organ-averaged absorbed dose may not be a good dose quantity for estimating the stochastic damage. The applicability of the concept of average organ dose and effective dose may, therefore, need to be examined critically in such cases and sometimes empirical and pragmatic procedures must be applied. ICRP has developed dosimetric models for the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract and the skeleton that take account of the distribution of radionuclides and the location of sensitive cells in the calculation of average absorbed dose to these tissues.
It seems perverse that having admitted so many flaws in the concept of absorbed dose ICRP simply continues to use it.
“Various questions raised by the ECRR are quite pertinent and led IRSN to analyze this document with a pluralistic approach.
a. Besides natural and medical exposures, populations are basically undergoing low dose and low dose rate prolonged internal exposures. But the possible health consequences under such exposure conditions are ill-known. Failing statistically significant observations, the health consequences of low dose exposures are extrapolated from data concerning exposures that involve higher dose rates and doses. Also, few epidemiologic data could be analyzed for assessing inner exposure effects. The risks were thus assessed from health consequences observed after external exposure, considering that effects were identical, whether the exposure source is located outside or inside the human body. However, the intensity, or even the type of effects might be different.
b. The pertinence of dosimetric values used for quantifying doses may be questioned. Indeed, the factors applied for risk management values are basically relying on the results from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors’ monitoring. It is thus not ensured that the numerical values of these factors translate the actual risk, regardless of exposure conditions, and especially after low dose internal exposure.
“The phenomena concerning internal contamination by radionuclides are complex because they involve numerous physico-chemical, biochemical and physiological mechanisms, still ill-known and thus difficult to model. Due to this complexity, the behaviour of radionuclides in the organism is often ill described and it is difficult to accurately define a relationship between the dose delivered by radionuclides and the observed consequences on health. This led the radioprotection specialists to mostly use the dose/risk relationships derived from the study of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki survivors, exposed in conditions very different from those met in the cases of internal contaminations.
This fact raises numerous questions, which should be considered with caution because a wide part of the public exposure in some areas of the world is due to chronic internal contaminations and very few data concern these situations.
IRSN’s statements are a bizarre double standard; they have agreed with ECRR’s criticisms of the ICRP system, which on that basis can itself be described as “not meet[ing] the criteria of a strict and consistent scientific approach” (as IRSN demands of ECRR). IRSN’s subsequent call for more research may be only what is expected of scientists, but such research would take years. Policy makers and stakeholders engaged in decommissioning have to make decisions now.
… There are important concerns with respect to the heterogeneity of dose delivery within tissues and cells from short-range charged particle emissions, the extent to which current models adequately represent such interactions with biological targets, and the specification of target cells at risk. Indeed, the actual concepts of absorbed dose become questionable, and sometimes meaningless, when considering interactions at the cellular and molecular levels.

The next day, Deputy Director of Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten, Carl-Magnus Larsson also said the ICRP model could not be used to predict the health consequences of accidents. He added that for elements like Strontium and Uranium which bind to DNA national authorities would have the responsibility to assess the risks. Another SRM member said that the Secondary Photoelectron Effect was well recognised, also that in 1977 the ICRP had considered a weighting factor ”n” for elements which bind to DNA but had not implemented it.
The Greenpeace supporters then filmed themselves while setting off fireworks at the plant to protest France’s heavy dependence on nuclear energy. Greenpeace spokesman Yannick Rousselet said the activists had managed to get within 100 meters (109 yards) of open pools of nuclear waste.
The group said it staged the divisive stunt in order to highlight to highlight the facility’s vulnerability to attacks in addition to calls for better protection against nuclear waste.
France’s state-owned energy giant EDF, which operates the Cattenom nuclear power station, said that the Greenpeace effort had failed to flag any shortcomings in safety issues, stressing that the environmental activists had been detained eight minutes after entering the site, ensuring the security of the power station as well as their own.
Olivier Lamarre, deputy head of EDF’s French nuclear division, said that the Greenpeace activists were cooperative and did not resist arrest.
In a tweet, EDF also highlighted that the activists had failed to reach Cattenom’s so-called “nuclear zone,” located behind a third barrier.
Greenpeace had published a report ahead of the stunt saying the spent-fuel pools of EDF’s nuclear reactors were highly vulnerable as their confinement walls were not designed with malicious attacks in mind. EDF, however, denied that there were any such risks, stressing that the pools with nuclear waste had been designed to withstand earthquakes and flooding as well as terror attacks.
The arrests and potential legal consequences after the security breach at Cattenom did not deter Greenpeace from staging a similar publicity stunt just weeks later: police arrested 22 activists on November 28 after entering the Cruas-Meysse nuclear plant in France’s southeastern Ardeche region, which is also operated by EDF. Greenpeace said that the activists were once again trying to point out a lack of safety precautions around spent nuclear fuel pools.
France is one of the world’s most nuclear-dependent country, with 58 reactors providing 75 percent of the country’s electricity. The country hosts a total of 63 spent-fuel pools. Environmentalists have long questioned the safety of France’s vast nuclear network, but around a third of all reactors in the country are set to be closed by 2025 under current government plans.
Public support of nuclear power has fallen in line with other European countries the nuclear disaster at Japan’s Fukushima plant in 2011.
…..For the UK to fulfill international standards on nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation once it leaves the EU, the existing legislative framework must be amended, with a new regime set out in new secondary legislation, it says. In the absence of amending frameworks and work to implement new safeguards measures, the UK would be without an effective nuclear safeguards regime, it adds.
“This scenario is the relevant counter-factual for policy appraisal given the decision to leave Euratom has already been taken and domestic safeguards appraised here are not dependent on the future relationship with the EU. However, we have also included a counter-factual of ’current Euratom regime’ to compare impacts relative to the current regime under Euratom. The UK’s withdrawal from Euratom has already been triggered so this is only included as baseline for consistency with other EU exit related measures where legislation may be dependent on the negotiated outcomes on future relationship with the EU,” it says.
Two core options have been considered.
The first is to adopt domestic standards of nuclear safeguards of broad equivalence to those adopted by Euratom, which BEIS says would ensure that sites to which safeguards apply remain subject to detailed oversight and that the UK continues to maintain the highest standards of nuclear safeguards.
On the second option, which fulfils nuclear safeguards standards, without replicating Euratom’s standards, BEIS says that all civil nuclear facilities to which safeguards apply would remain subject to a robust safeguards regime.
“This option would however entail a reduction in the frequency and intensity of inspection at UK nuclear facilities, while still maintaining compatibility with IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] standards,” it says.
David Wagstaff, deputy director of the Euratom exit at BEIS, told a conference last month that the “parliamentary balance” on the Bill’s passage through Parliament is “quite a delicate one at the moment”. If all goes to plan, however, the Bill will receive Royal Assent early this year, he added.
The ONR and BEIS are working “hand-in-hand” and this project is “going at pace”, with recruitment and IT procurement in process…..
Not since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 has the United States threatened a nuclear attack against a nuclear-armed country as flatly as Donald Trump is doing now, says Daniel Ellsberg, the man who orchestrated the release of the the Pentagon Papers in 1971.
This prognostication from the long-time peace activist and long-ago military analyst comes a few minutes into a wide-ranging conversation about The Post, a film about the Pentagon Papers and The Doomsday Machine, his most recent book, about America’s nuclear arsenal.
“We may very well be in the first … two-sided nuclear war any day: Tomorrow, or next week,” Mr. Ellsberg tells The Globe and Mail over the phone from his Berkeley, Calif., home.
While the particularly bellicose temperaments of Mr. Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un are popularly blamed for this bleak state of affairs, Mr. Ellsberg sees a historic context for them. The policies of Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim may be mad, but they are no more so than NATO’s approach to the Cold War – which would have seen nuclear attacks on the Soviet Union and China rather than let Europe fall to the communist hordes – or Fidel Castro’s approach during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when he told his Soviet patrons a pre-emptive attack on the United States would be a good idea.
It’s the coincidence of timing that makes The Doomsday Machine so prescient: As Mr. Ellsberg reveals in the book, the Pentagon Papers on the Vietnam War were not the only documents he copied and secreted out of the U.S. Department of Defense.
He also took a massive cache of information related to the U.S. nuclear program but opted not to leak it immediately so as not to distract from the Vietnam revelations. Mr. Ellsberg gave the nuclear documents to his brother, Harry, who hid them in an upstate New York garbage dump, whence they were washed away by a tropical storm.
Only decades later – following a trial, years of anti-nuclear activism and a memoir about the Pentagon Papers – did Mr. Ellsberg return to the project that would become The Doomsday Machine.
As chance would have it, The Post, too, lands at a time when its decades-old story about a newspaper battling a press-hating White House to publish leaked inside information is as relevant as ever. He particularly fears that the Trump administration will start indicting reporters. Mr. Ellsberg also sees an ever-relevant theme in Katharine Graham, The Washington Post’s then-publisher, battling sexism as she stares down the Nixon administration.
As its Dr. Strangelove-inspired title suggests, The Doomsday Machine‘s premise is that the United States’ nuclear arsenal is so extensive and so quickly launchable that using much of it would guarantee the end of life on Earth. Even a “limited” nuclear confrontation with North Korea would still leave millions dead within days, a level of carnage without precedent.
More alarming still, Mr. Ellsberg discovered while a Pentagon contractor in the 1960s that the ability to order a nuclear strike was delegated to a surprisingly large number of military personnel – on the theory that someone would have to be able to retaliate in the event Washington was obliterated by America’s enemies. The Soviets had a similar system, known as “the Dead Hand.” Ellsberg contends this state of affairs hasn’t changed, and must be the same in Pyongyang.
The way out of the impasse, he contends, is what it has always been: Negotiations with Pyongyang that would offer trade and normalized relations for a freeze on the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles and hydrogen bombs. If that doesn’t work, the United States would have to live with Mr. Kim as it lived with previous nuclear-armed dictators.
“To think that Kim Jong-un is crazier or more ruthless than Stalin or Mao, there’s no basis for that. … There’s no indication he can’t be deterred from using [the bomb] unless he’s about to be attacked,” he says.
In his book, Mr. Ellsberg documents how – from Robert McNamara, the defense secretary under whom Mr. Ellsberg worked, to Mr. Obama – generations of politicians have tried and largely failed to decrease the risk posed by the country’s nuclear arsenal. Among the problems, he argues, is that the military is so tightly enmeshed with the economy that any attempt to dial it back faces resistance from Congress.
While the topicality of book and film make Mr. Ellsberg, at 86, as relevant a figure as ever, surely it must be aggravating that the battles he fought more than 40 years ago remain unresolved.
The head of the Ecolo-Groen faction in the House of Representatives of the Belgian Parliament, Jean-Marc Nollé, claims that Belgium holds the world record for the time of inactivity of nuclear reactors at its nuclear power plants, newspaper Le Soir reports.
The parliamentarian reacted very emotionally to the halt during the whole winter of one of the reactors of the Dul nuclear power plant. According to him, Belgium has a sad world record for unscheduled stops of nuclear power plants – 25%.
According to Nolle, Belgium is ahead of this indicator by Iran and the Czech Republic, where the figures are respectively 13.5% and 8.8%.
He accused the operator of Belgian nuclear power plants, Electrabel company in disregard for the security of citizens and adherence to outdated and dangerous technologies.
He got rid of him and local politicians who shy away from answering these questions.
The leader of the Greens urged to quickly get rid of Belgium from nuclear power plants, noting that the problem with the Dul nuclear power plant could drag on for a long time.
The third reactor of the Belgian nuclear power plant “Dul” was stopped from September 2017 – first for preventive works.
Then it turned out that the concrete of the bunker located in the non-nuclear zone of the nuclear power plant is crumbling, where emergency pumps and diesel generators are located.
After the nuclear accident in 2011, Daisuke Shimizu began documenting scenes in Fukushima Prefecture, the place where he was born, using time-lapse photography. Shimizu visits locations on the coast, including communities to which evacuated residents have recently been given permission to return and rebuild their lives. In short videos that combine many photographs, Shimizu documents change in a unique way. What glimmers of hope does he reveal in the poignant beauty of the Fukushima landscape?
……Edward White in Taipei January 2, 2018 6 Taiwan is forging ahead with an ambitious plan to revamp its electricity mix despite fears about energy security, as pressure builds on the government to tackle worsening air pollution. The government has faced growing calls to tackle the toxic smog that blights many parts of Taiwan — thousands took to the streets last month to protest against coal-fired power.
The government aims to lift renewables’ share of Taiwan’s power mix from 6 per cent to 20 per cent over the next seven years via construction of offshore wind farms and solar installations, and to reduce carbon emissions to 20 per cent of 2005 levels by 2030…..
The Japanese government is poised to guarantee the full amount of loans that three megabanks will extend for a nuclear plant construction project in Britain by Hitachi Ltd., sources familiar with the project said.
A group of banks, including the three megabanks and the government-affiliated Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), will extend approximately 1.5 trillion yen in loans to Hitachi’s atomic power station project.
Of the amount, the government will fully guarantee loans to be extended by the megabanks, while the governmental Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) will support the project by making capital investments. Chubu Electric Power Co. and other utilities are also considering investing in the project.
The state will thus join hands with the private sector in extending all-out support for the project to export a nuclear plant worth some 3 trillion yen.
However, concerns have been raised that if the project were to run into the red, taxpayers could be forced to shoulder the burden.
The project to be covered with loans and investments is an atomic power station that a Hitachi subsidiary in Britain is aiming to build in Anglesey, Britain. The firm hopes to start operations at the plant in the mid-2020s.
Hitachi Ltd. is poised to make a final decision on whether to invest in the project by the end of fiscal 2019. However, Hitachi is consulting with the Japanese and British governments and financial institutions over loans, their guarantees and investment on the grounds that the electronics giant alone cannot take risks.
Japanese financial institutions and the governmental Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) offered in December last year to extend financial assistance for the project.
According to the sources, Hitachi estimates the total cost of the project at about 3 trillion yen. Hitachi aims to obtain about 1.5 trillion yen in loans to cover half of the amount while raising another 1.5 trillion yen through investments.
Each of the three megabanks — the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. — intend to extend loans of more than 100 billion yen, totaling some 500 billion yen. NEXI will guarantee the loans. Hitachi intends to obtain the reminder of the loans from the JBIC and commercial financial institutions in Britain.
The DBJ has notified Hitachi of its intention to make capital investments in the atomic power station project, while Chubu Electric Power and Japan Atomic Power Co. are also considering investing in the venture.
Hitachi has also asked other utilities including Tokyo Electric Power Co. and trading houses to invest in the project in a bid to disperse risks involving the project.
The British government, which is speeding up the construction of nuclear plants, also intends to invest in the project, and Japanese and British Cabinet ministers in charge of energy policy exchanged a memorandum on cooperation in December last year.
The profitability of nuclear plant construction has been worsening all over the world due to an increase in the costs of ensuring safety since the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis in March 2011, contributing to the financial crisis of Toshiba Corp., another electronics giant.
Nevertheless, the government intends to extend all-out support for the project.
“It’s essential to win a contract on the British project in order to maintain Japan’s nuclear technology,” said a high-ranking official of the Economy, Trade and Industry.
While a nuclear detonation is unlikely, it would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps. Despite the fear surrounding such an event, planning and preparation can lessen deaths and illness. For instance, most people don’t realize that sheltering in place for at least 24 hours is crucial to saving lives and reducing exposure to radiation. While federal, state, and local agencies will lead the immediate response efforts, public health will play a key role in responding.
Join us for this session of Grand Rounds to learn what public health programs have done on a federal, state, and local level to prepare for a nuclear detonation. Learn how planning and preparation efforts for a nuclear detonation are similar and different from other emergency response planning efforts.

PLYMOUTH — Operators manually shut down Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station shortly at 2 p.m. after one of the two main 345-volt lines that provide off site power to the plant “became unavailable,” according to Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan.
“There have been no complications with the shutdown thus far,” Sheehan wrote in an email to the Times.
The emergency generators were fired up to power cooling and other emergency systems functioning, even though the second 345-volt line, along with a smaller line, from offsite have remained in service.
Patrick O’Brien, a spokesman for Entergy Corp., Pilgrim’s owner and operator, said plant managers decided to use the diesel generators for safety systems because of their reliability.
Plant watchdogs had been calling on federal regulators to order Pilgrim’s reactor shut down since yesterday, when strong winds and flooding were forecast.
The NRC left it to Pilgrim’s management, along with three federal inspectors onsite at the plant, to make the call. O’Brien had said late yesterday there were no plans to power down the reactor in anticipation of storm-related problems.
Mary Lampert, president of Pilgrim Watch, said her group had asked federal regulators to order the reactor shut down as a pre-emptive measure.
“My concern was flooding, the high winds, the water, everything,” Lampert said shortly after the reactor was manually powered down.
A January blizzard in 2015 resulted in an emergency shutdown that was accompanied by a number of system problems. Those storm-related difficulties pushed Pilgrim into Column 4, as one of the country’s worst performing reactors.
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.–Westinghouse Electric, the U.S. nuclear unit of embattled Japanese electronics giant Toshiba, has been acquired in a deal valued at about out $4.6 billion.
Westinghouse Electric Co. declared bankruptcy protection early last year, leaving a number of nuclear projects in limbo.
The acquisition by Brookfield Business Partners LP on Thursday comes one day after an agreement tying up loose ends from two failed nuclear reactors in South Carolina.
South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. abandoned construction reactors at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station. Thousands were left jobless in the wake of the $9 billion failure, which was blamed by owners on the plight of Westinghouse, the lead contractor. A deal proposed Wednesday could mean $1.3 billion in refunds for utility customers affected by the failed project.
The nuclear industry has struggled both because of the tremendous cost of building massive reactors and the accelerating shift to other forms of energy like natural gas and alternative energy, like solar. The industry, and Toshiba in particular, has been subjected tighter regulatory control following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in northeastern Japan.
Toshiba has been dumping assets to cover for its disastrous immersion into nuclear power, a play it saw once as a safe infrastructure investment, free of the seasonal fluctuations of the power generation industry.
Technology in both fracking, a form of drilling, and alternative energy, has upended the power sector.
Westinghouse said Thursday that the deal with Brookfield doesn’t involve cash, but includes the assumption of a number of pension, environmental and operating obligations.
The agreement, pending the approval of bankruptcy court, is expected to close in the third quarter.
Former IOP Executive Director Steve Edwards will moderateThe threat of nuclear war is once again in the news. Fears about the potential use of nuclear weapons have reanimated public debate in ways not seen since the Cold War.
To further understand how decisions about nuclear weapons are made by world leaders and institutions, the Division of the Social Sciences, the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST), and the Institute of Politics (IOP) are cosponsoring a January 29 panel titled “A Safer or a More Dangerous World? Nuclear Weapons in Today’s Global Community.” The event, to be held in Regenstein Library Room 122 from 5:30-7:00 PM, is an extension of the University-wide Nuclear Reactions series commemorating the 75th anniversary of the first controlled atomic chain reaction.
the event joins UChicago international relations scholars to offer different viewpoints on military decisions, the role of nuclear arms in the formation of alliances, and aids and obstacles to non-proliferation efforts. “It’s important to think systematically about the international system, about how countries interact with each other, and what would lead them to think that nuclear weapons are a useful thing to have,” Poast says.
In addition to Poast, panelists will include Austin Carson, Assistant Professor of Political Science; Paige P. Cone, CPOST’s Nuclear Proliferation Fellow; Robert Pape, Professor of Political Science and Director of CPOST; and Paul Staniland, Associate Professor of Political Science and Chair of the Committee on International Relations (CIR). Steve Edwards, Chief Content Officer of WBEZ and former executive director of the Institute of Politics (IOP), will moderate.
Poast stresses that despite the daunting scale of the nuclear weapons threat and the global problems it presents, the work of researchers like those on the panel can help people better understand the implications for society today and in the future. “The goal is to give people a new way to think about things,” he says.
In a paper published early in his career, Robert Pape challenged the conventional wisdom that dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the key to the Japanese surrender that ended World War II. He suggested instead that Japan’s ability to continue fighting was most threatened by the Soviet Union’s declaration of war (on August 9, the same day as the bombing of Nagasaki), and by the United States’ sea blockade and capture of Okinawa. Pape argued further that while the nuclear bombs’ devastation was massive, the Japanese had already suffered intense conventional bombing and had not surrendered.
Cone’s research extends beyond sanctions to include other forms of economic or military coercion as well. A recent item she published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists explained her finding that previous uses of so-called “negative inducements” have not produced good results. “If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results, insanity is an apt description of US sanctions policy against North Korea,” Cone wrote.
According to Cone, 39 states have pursued nuclear weapons. Of those, Cone determined that offering positive inducements was a more reliable method of intervening to prevent a country from becoming a nuclear power, and was successful in reversing at least 11 countries’ nuclear ambitions. Today, nine countries are considered nuclear states, including North Korea.
Part of Poast’s research centers around one of those inducements — membership in international security alliances like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Although a key function of NATO was to limit the Soviet Union’s influence in Europe during the Cold War, Poast’s research suggests that the alliance also thrived as a way for the United States to enforce nuclear non-proliferation.
“You can’t avoid the fact that nuclear politics provide the rationale for NATO,” Poast says. “Once you view NATO’s role in the context of nuclear weapons, you realize that the end of the Cold War did not in any way make NATO obsolete.” In fact, Poast believes NATO became even more important as a tool of non-proliferation in the 1990s, when the Iron Curtain fell and Eastern European states might have pursued nuclear weapons.
Austin Carson also examines the influence of international organizations in nuclear politics. The 1968 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and its enforcement arm, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), have played an increasingly important role in combatting nuclear programs, particularly since the first Gulf war in Iraq.
Carson’s work looks at secrecy and transparency between states and international organizations. He has previously studied covert military and intelligence operations as a kind of face-saving communication among states. His current project examines why decisions are made not to communicate secret information, particularly when countries have intelligence that could cause an acceleration of nuclear programs.
“We’ve known that…if you tell everyone about [a state’s attempts to develop nuclear weapons], you marshal international pressure that’s going to make that proliferating country or that violator more likely to come come back from the brink and reverse what they’re doing,” Carson says. But examining newly declassified documents from US intelligence archives, he found that there are often situations in which government and military officials did not think publicity would produce a positive outcome.
Poast says Paul Staniland’s perspective will help the panel address the regional impacts of nuclear weapons programs. Staniland, whose work has been on insurgencies and violence in South and Southeast Asia, has recently shed light on broader South Asian foreign policy questions, including the way nuclear weapons factor into smaller-scale conflicts between Pakistan and India like the resurgent violence in Kashmir last year. Staniland recently coauthored a paper that considers the domestic political implications of India’s nuclear policy and the role played by other regional nuclear powers like Pakistan and China. | 2019-04-20T16:39:26 | https://nuclear-news.net/2018/01/05/ |

ROSKINO is participating in the 72nd Venice International Film Festival (September 2 - September 12) and the 4th Venice Film Market (September 3 - September 8) with the support of Aeroflot Russian Airlines Public Joint Stock Company and the Elena and Gennady Timchenko Charitable Foundation.
On September 6, a pitching session was organized by the Venice Film Market jointly with ROSKINO to present projects targeted at co-production with Russia to the expert jury. The list of finalists consisted of 8 feature films currently in pre-production with no less than 30% of consolidated budget secured.
The expert jury board included Andreas Eicher (producer, Cine Plus Filmproduktion GmbH, Germany), Raphaël Berdugo (President, CITÉ FILMS, France), Pascal Diot (Head of Venice Film Market, Italy), Andy Whittaker (Dogwoof Pictures President and Founder) Leonid Demchenko (Russia representative, Eurimages, Russia) and Katya Mtsitouridze (CEO, ROSKINO, Russia). The session was moderated by Lucas Rosant (producer, France).

On October 31, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a speech at the National Press Club, “If Congress doesn’t step up to act to protect some of these important places that have been identified by communities and people throughout the country, then the President will take action. There’s no question that if Congress doesn’t act, we will.” Jewell was referring to designating huge swaths of public lands as National Monuments. When she calls on Congress to “step up,” she may be ignoring that local citizens, including some recreationists and businesses near public lands where Wilderness or other special designations are being considered, may not support such action.
Please click the Send Message button to send an email to Secretary Jewell opposing any unilateral decision to designate huge swaths of public lands as National Monuments without the widespread support of the local affected public.
As it stands, the Antiquities Act of 1906 grants the President the authority to designate “…historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the United States to be national monuments.” The Antiquities Act also holds that national monuments should be “…confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected…,” yet Presidents of both parties have, in our view, inappropriately designated enormous swaths of public lands as national monuments. One particularly egregious example was the designation of nearly 2 million acres of public land as the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument in Utah.
Too often when widespread local and Congressional support to designate public lands as Wilderness cannot be established, Wilderness proponents turn to a strategy of calling for the President to achieve similar goals by administratively designating the area as a National Monument. It is no secret that those most affected by land use decisions are those who live, recreate and make their livelihoods on or near the public lands in question. | 2019-04-23T04:45:28 | https://arra-access.com/send-an-email-to-secretary-jewell-opposing-massive-new-national-monument-designations/ |
Many people do NOT like baseball, and do NOT bet it for that reason alone. Do NOT be one of those people.
The books make less profit by percentage in baseball than any other sport. The most reliable looking estimates I saw said about 2.89% is held by the sports books. In contrast, football nets about 8% profit, with basketball being about 6%.
I mention this because so many people choose to sit out on sports they do NOT like. As it turns out, the sports books win far less as a percentage on the least bet (liked) sports. Does that sound a little suspect? Could it be that the sports books take advantage of the football and basketball bettors because there are so many suckers out there who are willing to be taken in by the point spread scam?
The point is, the difference between baseball and football is that league parity and the lack of a good scam like point spreads forces the sports books to operate on a very small margin. A margin so small that a moderately skilled bettor can easily take the advantage away and beat them. A great bettor can make a living off of baseball.
taking sucker bets and those that the sports books have an obvious, built-in advantage on.
The sports books try to dig a hole for you, but that does NOT mean you have to jump in it. Nor does it make any sense to get a shovel and dig your own hole.
way the lines work when you play them correctly.
REMINDER: Winning percentage is ALWAYS going to be a reflection of the lines you bet. In my case, my winning percentage is 46% in MLB.
Whether you like the game or not, MLB is a sports betting gold mine! | 2019-04-26T16:14:05 | http://24-7wagering.com/why-use-my-mlb-betting-picks/ |
We all do it. When we run out of window cleaner we buy more window cleaner of coarse. Same with tile cleaner, or counter cleaner, or carpet cleaner, or grout cleaner, or shower cleaner, or....oh my....anyone else getting a headache thinking about how many cleaners are out there we have to keep stocked up on?
What about body care items? Shampoo- wet and dry, conditioner- rinse out or leave in, hair masks, hot oil treatments, extra dry skin lotion, normal dry skin lotion, lotion with shimmer in it, lotion with sunscreen in it, anti-aging lotion, soap for dry skin, soap for eczema, soap for odor protection, soap in a bar and soap in a bottle, soap for your body, soap for your hands, soap sponges for your feet, soap for your sink dishes, soap for your dishwasher dishes, soap for your laundry, soap for your pets, soap for your....yikes that's a lot of soap. If you all are like I was you have a pretty large inventory of skin care to keep up with and pay for each month.
How did the people who lived 100 years ago make it through a day with out their one hundred items for their 100 different needs? And yes, they did bathe, wash dishes, wash clothes, and clean their tables. Any guesses? Well for starters they used one soap for everything. They strained water through wood ashes to get lye water and mixed that with lard and the end result was soap. They used that bar of soap to wash themselves, the dishes, the laundry, and anything else that needed a good cleaning. So the question rises- how did we go from using one bar of soap for cleaning to fifty or more different soaps for individual categories?
Money. There was a lot of it to be made by saying "this special soap is so amazing, your clothes will come out way cleaner than ever before!" or "this soap is made especially for your hair, don't use hand soap on your hair when you can use this" and so on and so forth. The higher class folks could afford the different soaps, so in a way it became a symbol of your place in society. If you used one bar for everything you were poor. If you had three different kinds of soaps you must be pretty high up in the world. Well that idea just kept on evolving until we have forgotten what is essential. The retail stores and large companies are rolling in the dough by advertising you are cleaning wrong unless you use this product or that product.
Now for the scary stuff. Ever heard of supply and demand? If you are a supplier, all you need to make big money is to make a need for your product aka: demand. How do they create demand for a product? I'll tell you.
*Glycerine is a natural bi-product in soap. It is a wonderful side effect of the fats/oils bonding with the lye and it is super moisturizing. Most large skin care companies remove the natural glycerin from their soap so your skin gets dry which creates a demand for their lotion which is where the removed glycerin gets added. Supply and demand.
*Body products purchased at the stores can be YEARS old due to the massive amounts of stabilizers and preservatives they contain. Not that it necessarily makes them work any less, but your soap has been infusing with toxic chemicals for potentially years....yuck. Natural lotions and shampoos WILL mold, just like natural foods will. Have you ever heard about how fast food cheesburgers don't mold due to the mass amounts of chemical preservatives in them but a home made burger will mold in a few days? Or the bagged sliced apples don't turn brown even if left on the counter for weeks, but a fresh cut apple will brown in a few minutes. It is exactly the same with your skin care. I stay away from bagged sliced apples and fast food because of the proven chemical exposure and the desire to keep my kids safe, and I also stay away from chemically loaded body care items as well for the exact same reason.
*The chemicals in the body care / baby care items are also found in paint strippers, pesticides, and dog flea killing shampoo.
*The worst fact I found is the long term side effects (cancer, skin irritations, infertility, insomnia, kidney/thyroid disorders, etc) from using the chemicals and preservatives in our daily essential products are a main fuel that financially support the pharmaceutical industry. If every person in this world started using chemical free products and food the need for medication would drop drastically making a lot of wealthy people less wealthy. And the FDA? If you want your mind blown do some deep research from tons of different sources to find out about how possibly the company created to keep you safe is potentially trying to ban homeopathic and all natural treatments after possibly partnering with the large pharmaceutical companies. Don't take my word, do your own research. How do you create job security? Well, I believe they figured it out.

After installing McAfee's NetShield Suite 4.5, the server has slowed down to 1/20 of the speed that it should be running. Is this a problem with Win 2000 server or is this a McAfee problem and are the any solutions?
I personally use Trend Micro AV...For my servers,exchange and the desktop...I love it.
I agree with DW Hammack, but we use Norton Corporate Edition and have few performance issues.
We run the same application without such problems.
it's definitely mcafee. we had alot of problems with the mcafee software -- it would peg out the server cpu at 100%, all kinds of lovely stuff. we are currently using norton with no problems. one thing you could check is once you run a full scan to verify system is clean, change the scan parameters so they don't check every single file (dll's, etc) continuously -- this will significantly improve performance. just have it check files that are changed. you'll have to look at the settings, i don't remember how they go. i know there are 4 checkboxes, and taking off 2 of them makes a dramatic difference without killing the protection. hope that helps! | 2019-04-26T06:38:27 | https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/slow-running-server/ |
Roth Händle studios: Waterphone...the only phone I like.
A man shredding on his waterphone whilst whales are having a snuggle in the backgound.
This last friday my phone ran out of battery and as we were at our summerhouse there wasnt really a need to charge it. We spent our time by the fireplace, listening to vinyl and playing cards or boardgames. And I felt no need to turn the phone on or check my facebook or anything. Because I think I knew that I wasnt missing anything. And noone was missing me.
Ive started playing with the idea of having the phone on during the days, while Im working and then turning it off. Facebook has become a timestealing nuisance where the same links are bouncing around endlessly. I tend to visit the same sites anyways....The Onion, Big Think and Ted Talks. I watch documentaries. But I dont need the whole OMG I cant believe what happened next. Or cute notes that kids wrote, funniest autocorrect or a dog in a Yoda costume.
I completely understand the comedic value of a dog looking like a character from a science fiction movie. But I always feel cheated after seeing the picture or clicked the link. Spoiler alert: There is nothing there. Have you heard the joke about the Rabbi, a penguin and a bankrobber who goes onto facebook. Nothing happens.
Instead of ranting about stuff I dont like I can tell you about something I DO like.
The waterphone. The only phone I like. A really creepy instrument used extensively in film and usually in horror films. You have heard in the matrix when they insert the plug in the back in the neck.
Have a tumultuous tuesday. I think you are great. | 2019-04-20T16:29:24 | http://rothhandlestudios.blogspot.com/2014/01/waterphonethe-only-phone-i-like.html |

The background of VPN virtual private network technology goes back to 1996, when a Microsoft employee established the peer-to-peer tunneling procedure, or PPTP. Properly the forerunner to modern-day VPNs, PPTP creates a much more safe and secure and exclusive connection in between a computer and the net.

The service they acquired is VPN.
VPN resembles having a regional network, a network in which tools are directly linked per without any demand for the internet, except making use of the net to make the links. Aside from tunneling methods which establish safe connections concealing the originating resource high level file encryption standards ensure that even if data is lost, it will never ever be used by anyone not intended to have it. The benefits of VPN for private net users became clear right from the beginning and that generated the modern rush to supply the best VPN technology. Throughout the years VPN advancement has been spurred by the encroachment of censors around the world, and the never ever finishing allure for hackers to get into whatever devices and connections they can.
Censorship and geo-restriction is just one of numerous problems tormenting the Net and driving innovation in VPN modern technology. The history of censorship differs from situation to instance yet consists of points like obstructions of social networks, insufficient access to on-line media catalogs note Netflix United States brochure versus what is offered to the remainder of the world, tracking user task, monitoring emails or straight-out denial of access to the Web. The background of VPN has actually advanced right alongside it, getting rid of each problem as it develops and producing demand from the web-surfing public.

The holiday season invariably brings with it a number of familiar traditions: steaming mugs of hot cocoa after ice skating at outdoor rinks, for example, or White Elephant office party gift exchanges.
However, for the retailers that count on the gift-giving festivities to claw their way into the black, there’s one tradition they’d rather do without: the avalanche of returns that inevitably cap off the merry excitement of year-end celebrations.
The more people shift their shopping online, the greater the returns problem becomes, especially when looking at fashion e-commerce. It’s one thing if mom doesn’t appreciate the smart home speaker you got her, but it’s another matter altogether if the sweater simply doesn’t fit. There’s no getting around that.
The problem applies not just to the guesswork-fraught gift-giving process but to shoppers buying clothing online for themselves, and more so when taking a shot in the dark with a brand they don’t have experience with. Blame it on the lack of sizing standardization.
In fact, new research by BodyBlock AI based on a survey of 1,200 American consumers found that 84 percent female shoppers are exasperated by what they described as “random or arbitrary” sizing, which is frighteningly inconsistent from one brand to the next and even more so across borders. BodyBlock AI is a data-driven clothing fit predictor that uses close to 1 million 3-D body scans to calculate the right size on e-commerce fashion sites and help boost conversions by 3 percent to 8 percent. Customers include Stitch Fix, Under Armour and Rhone, a men’s activewear startup.
“The State of Holiday Shopping E-commerce Returns in 2018” paints a picture of an online fashion retail industry that has a lot on the line if it can’t figure out how to stem the bleeding from the $1.39 billion worth of clothing that shoppers expect to return because of fit issues. That’s half of the total expected online apparel sales this holiday, based on BodyBlock AI’s calculations from a variety of sources.
Adobe Analytics puts Thanksgiving-through-Cyber Monday sales at around $14.1 billion. The common assumption that typically holds true is that apparel accounts for 20 percent of online sales, which would put Cyber Weekend fashion sales at about $2.8 billion. However, because many people purchase and gift apparel around the holidays, the quoted numbers — for both sales and projected returns — could be considerably higher.
The fallout from online fit issues cannot be overstated. Half of people burned by poorly fitting garments purchased online or in receipt of the wrong size, wouldn’t give the brand a second chance, BodyBlock AI found. Overall, fit problems are laughably common when it comes to shopping online. Virtually all surveyed consumers (91 percent) said they’ve purchased clothing online that didn’t fit as they hoped it would. Another 72 percent have gone through the hassle of sending back poorly fitting garments, the report said.
A consumer’s initial fit experience with a brand they’ve shopped for the first time online has major consequences for how that budding relationship will turn out. It’s sort of like a first date; if it goes well, date No. 2 is probably in your future. That’s why 89 percent of consumers say they’re likely or very likely to buy more apparel from a brand if the inaugural order went off without a hitch.
Call it fit fatigue, but evidence shows consumers are wary of the potential headache that comes along with purchasing clothing through e-commerce. Most people (72 percent) do their due diligence prior to ordering, consulting sizing charts and using fit prediction tools in hopes of alighting upon the best-fitting size. Then there’s the subset of 37 percent who’ll buy multiples of an item in different sizes to ensure that one of them fits correctly.
Fit, BodyBlock AI found, gives far too many shoppers pause when they’re lured into the crisp photography of e-commerce catalogs. They’re ready and willing to spend, more or less, though 88 percent claimed they’d purchase more clothing online if the worries over fit were removed from the equation.
Some people seem to hate the in-store experience so much they said they’d purchase their whole wardrobe online if fit problems weren’t constantly at the back of their minds (17 percent). Another 40 percent could purchase half of their clothing online if fit challenges were a thing of the past.
Which apparel items do shoppers most frequently return? Not surprisingly, jeans and pants were a problem for both men and women; it’s not uncommon for one part of the garment to fit fine while they rest is too loose or too tight. Note that twice as many men as women shipped back T-shirts, which have moved beyond staple status into the realm of Fashion with a capital F. | 2019-04-24T12:07:44 | https://footwearnews.com/2018/sourcing-journal/retail/e-commmerce-holiday-returns-industry-impact-1202715663/ |

Our second hockey tournament in January took us to Western New York for the Gene Harrington Memorial Hockey Tournament. Three guaranteed games, and more if you did well enough. Our first game was on Friday at noon against the '97 Dragons', a team out of Michigan, at the "Northtown Center at Amherst". Mike played in this game, with the Sens on the losing end of the decision 6-1.
After the game, we grabbed at tray of subs at a Wegman's for the team meal before heading off to the hotel. Our accomidations for this tournament was the Grand Island Holiday Inn, known for being the only hotel on Grand Island, and haunted. Yes, haunted. Rather than typing it all out, here's a link to the story of Tanya: Tanya The Friendly Ghost. I will say this though, during our stay some guests did get stuck in an elevator, and it was subsequently put out of service for the rest of the weekend. Make of it what you will.
Beyond being 'haunted', the Holiday Inn Grand Island didn't have much going for it. It was pretty beat up in many spots, and where it was probably once a gem of a hotel, it was clear at this point that the downturn in the tourist industry had taken it's toll on this hotel. Definately not a place we would ever return to.
We did a team meal on Friday evening before heading off to our second game of the tournament, played at the Hyde Park Ice Pavilion in Niagara Falls (NY). Our opponent tonight would be the Waterloo (Water-losers) Wolves. Some brainiac at the tournament put both of these teams in the same hotel, so we had already seen the Wolves there before heading to the rink, complete with mohawks of bleach blonde hair on the side, and black down the middle. They looked absolutely ridiculous, and we all concluded if they were our kids we'd be horribly embarassed (at the least). The Sens were on the losing end of an 11-0 score, and it was obvious that the tournament organizers did a horrible job of matching teams up in our division.
On Saturday morning, we played in the quarter-finals against the Buffalo Alliance back at Hyde Park. Mike played in this game, and the Jr Sens dropped this one as well, 11-0. Again, as above, it was obvious the tournament organizers did a horrible job of matching teams up, or they knew exactly what they were doing in putting a couple of sacrificial lambs with other clearly stronger teams. None the less, our time in the tournament was done.
We trekked to Niagara Falls, Canada after a quick stop back at the hotel. Parking in the Casino Niagara parking ramp, we were able to walk from there through the buildings to Clifton Hill. We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, hit the arcade Mike likes on Clifton Hill, went into a couple of shops there, before stopping at the duty free and heading back into the States. No problems on either end of the border crossing, which was a welcome surprise for Jill and I since we seem to have all kinds of trouble getting back into the U.S. We went to the Walden Galleria and walked around a bit before retiring back to the hotel for the night.
We slept in a bit on Sunday morning, packed up the room and checked out of the haunted hotel. We drove back to the Falls, parking on the American side and walking around there for a bit. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, Niagara Falls, USA, before making the long drive back to Binghamton, arriving home around 7:00. | 2019-04-21T04:17:00 | http://timandjillstravelogue.com/niagarafallsjanuary2011.html |

The Galaxy S10 will come with an Infinity-O display. A "punch hole" description sure does match up to that styling, rather than a drop down notch like we have seen from others.
Blass also adds to the rumours that Galaxy S10 has an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and three rear cameras; a telephoto one, a wide-angle one and a standard one.
Some exciting stuff there, but I'm somewhat concerned about a display with a circle cutout off to the side. Today, the company has launched the flagship Exynos 9820 SoC as the successor to last year's Exynos 9810 SoC.
The new Exynos 9820 is built with an 8-nanometer process and has eight CPU cores, coupled with an ARM Mali-G76 graphics processing unit.
Mobile download speeds meanwhile can theoretically reach 2Gbps with this chipset, though this isn't 5G we're talking about, as the Exynos 9820 doesn't support that. Nevertheless, the wait is not going to be long though since the Galaxy S10 is expected to be revealed to the world by the time Mobile World Congress 2019 opens its doors at the end of February next year. The device will be supporting up to 22MP single sensors or 16MP + 16MP dual sensors.

Samsung is trying to get rid of redundant features and make your phone easier to use with its upcoming One UI update.
Finally, the latest report from Blass seemingly confirms the Samsung Galaxy S10 will ship with the all-new Android 9-based One UI operating system.
With the rumoured release still four months away, it's worth taking these details with a healthy pinch of salt.

Located in the heavily populated and highly traveled financial district of South Sao Paulo, Marginal is an 11-acre residential complex which hopes to transform the setting of the busy and fast moving Brazilian city. The Marginal complex consists of 5 high end residential towers focused around a central lawn, overlooking the scenic, natural forest and Pinheiros River. This tropical oasis offers its residence a wide variety of activities such as a grand infinity pool, spa, private gardens, walking paths and several recreational areas. Marginal’s designers, a collaborative group of international professionals, worked together to not only create an innovative residential community, but also to promote and bring out the natural beauty of the region.
Aiming to transform the area along the Pinheiros riverfront, the second phase for this large master plan is a mixed-use complex comprised of three office towers, a luxury hotel and residential tower. Associated amenities including theaters, parks, plazas, exclusive restaurants and cafes make this complex vibrant and full of life. These components will take place among carefully-crafted gardens that support each space’s users and functions. The central office plaza is the heart of the project; this urban space provides the opportunity for city life, nature and art to meet harmoniously. An additional park with children’s play structures and open spaces allow for a variety of activities for residences. Deliberate placement of trees, understory and canopy creates the perfect microclimate, allowing each area to be used throughout the year. | 2019-04-26T10:19:21 | https://www.enea.ch/project/marginal-sao-paulo/ |

Moodle in English: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Block type admin has been disabled by the administrator.
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Block type admin has been disabled by the administrator.
I am using moodle 2.0 , while creating new course i am having this error .
can anyone help me ? what is actually going wrong????
Re: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Block type admin has been disabled by the administrator.
I still get the same error message when creating a new course using the site admin account - I use Moodle 2.0.1.
Anyhow the course is created - I can see it in the course list. When I click on the course, I get a new error message: "Error finding or creating section structures for this course". Clicking the continue button and again cklicking the course in the course list everything seems ok.
I already compared the enrolment settings of my installation with the moodle demo site installation - I cannot find any difference.
The same problem appears with users having the system role of a coursecreator: In Moodle 1.9.+ they could create new courses and automatically got assigned the teacher role in the new course. Now they can create new courses (with all the errors described above), but when they finally click on the course they get the message "You cannot enrol yourself in the course".
Site administration > plugins > Enrolments > manage enrolment plugins: in the settings of both manual enrolments and self enrolment the checkbox "Add instance to new course" ist checked - so I expect that this enrolment plugin is available by default in a new course.
Everything works fine after uncommenting these lines.
Seems that these settings are no longer available in Moodle 2.0+.
Gisela, glad you managed to solve the problem. Thanks for your feedback.
But although I no longer get errors, when I add courses blocks not specified in the override still apprear and other blocks added to the list still do not apprear... Does anyone have any suggestions?
for those of you who might have had the same problem, I found that the course/format/social/cofig in scorm and social were overriding the default blocks added in the main config page! I commented all of those out and set my default blocks in the formats I use, which are week and topic.
If you have the same error "Block type xxxx has been disabled by the administrator" with another block type like news_items or calendar_upcoming, check if a "space" is not in the line.
and I got the error "Block type calendar_upcoming has been disabled by the administrator" when creating course, because of the space behind calendar_upcoming.
Many thanks. This have to be in documentation or in moodle config.php file comments.
https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Block_layout#Default_block_layout_for_new_courses has been updated to reflect this.
For some reason we have just run into this error. No site wide changes have been implemented.
It only happens when we try to edit Forums.
We're still getting this problem.
I think I encounter this issue to. If a User tries to access a assignment. That error occurs to. The strange thing is, that assignment is not shown in grade book. alle other assignments in the course or other courses does works. only this one occurs the error. | 2019-04-19T10:47:50 | https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=155652 |
Remy Ma gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl, and three days after that, she returned to social media in order to thank her husband, Papoose, for her $94,000 push present.
She also made sure to explain that her infant daughter will not be named Golden Child.
‘Thank you for my “Push Present” Husband @papoosepapoose ??? I’ve been so happy with the baby that I forgot all about such materialistic things.??♀️ We have been married for ten years but today is the day we FINALLY had our wedding. Such a special day that we have to acknowledge it? (3 years ago)- we call it our “TV Wedding Anniversary”’ Remy wrote.
The push present that Remy is talking about is a $94k Cadillac.
Now, Page Six reports that Remy’s days after she gave birth were not easy at all. She delivered her baby over the past weekend, and she returned to the hospital on Tuesday.
‘Remy is recovering in the hospital from a blood transfusion due to childbirth complications,’ her rep reportedly told Page Six on Wednesday.
We wish Remy tons of health and only happy days ahead for the whole family.
They will definitely be having the Christmas of their lives, as we couldn’t be happier for all of them. | 2019-04-22T08:20:49 | http://celebrityinsider.org/remy-ma-is-having-surgery-a-few-days-after-giving-birth-the-latest-reports-claim-226609/ |
That's what Big Bob said after the match. Not that many were thinking that for half an hour after half time.
That's what Big Bob said after the match. Not that many were thinking that for half an hour after half time. There is also some doubt about our flanker. There are reports in the press that Steff is off to Toulon despite having 2 years left on his contract.
Then there is talk about former Bath captain Lipman. Having left in disgrace for his forty days in the wilderness there is a possibility he will complete his rehabilitation with the Exiles. Boothy is denying the two are related, but with George going it is pretty clear the club are not going to release Steff without another class back rower in the bag.
With all this happening off the pitch the supporters have a bit to do as well. Not least getting up to Bolton and back. The impoverished amongst us (me and Al) do it as a day trip. Too right it is more than 80 minutes of rugby. Twelve hours more on this occasion.
The MR2 is still poorly in the local garage so I nick Mrs Monk's C2. It is a late kick off, after a four hour drive we go for a late lunch before heading to the ground. This is Sale's big game. They are aiming for 17,000 which would be a record by some margin for the North West club. I am not sure how much home advantage they will gain. Flat pitch, grass, oval stadium. Reebok is very like the Madjeski right down to the blue seats. Toby is licking his lips.
I find my seat between Big Al and Mr & Mrs Dodge. [pic: Al-Monk] Bob is starting having recovered from his calf injury. Sale is without Cueto following the gouging incident. 18 weeks reduced on appeal to 9. Would that be because it was his former flat mate that said he didn't feel anything, or because with 9 weeks he can still make the England training camp for the world cup? Cynical, moi? Having listened to Judge Blackett it is undoubtedly the former.
Doyle is the man with the whistle. I will try and refrain from commenting on his performance as he is one other the newer referees (well new to me anyway). Irish kick off and immediately get possession as prop Paulica Ion collects the spilt ball. It is his first start for Irish in a while. The ball goes forward and Sale gets an early scrum. Good shove from Irish, clean ball from Sale. I will not say that very often this match so make the most of it. The clearance kick from Sale is sliced horribly gifting Irish an early attacking lineout.
Kendo takes cleanly and the ball is out to Tom on the crash, then recycled in what is looking a lively start for Irish. After several phases it is an unsympathetic pass to today's captain, Mapasua that goes forward giving Sale a second opportunity to clear their lines. This is the start of the forward's unhappy relationship with Mr. Doyle. I believe at times they wished they had brought their own Mr. Doyle, the Irish wolfhound mascot. The free kick to Sale is much longer, and deliberately touched by the pitch-side official in front of me to prevent Delon taking the quick throw.
The ball is thrown to Bob at back of the line; the clearance kick goes to halfway. A fine tackle from Gibson but Stowers up in support is guilty of going in off his feet. This gives Charlie Hodgeson a chance to open the Sale account from the halfway line. It misses. Maps passes the restart straight to Elvis who is swamped by Sale shirts. The ball is turned over and Sale has their first real possession of the match. This ends in a Penalty when Dodge points out to Mr Doyle that Sale are holding on. Irish kick the penalty to half way and take the line out at the back. The kick ahead is collected safely by Sale. We have given away possession for the sake of field position.
Tom makes no mistake with the extras and is on hand to collect the restart and thump it into touch. Sale closes the line so Irish get a scrum then a penalty from the scrum. Bowden puts his side up into the Sale half. Kendo takes the ball at the lineout; Dodge feeds Maps who smuggles the ball to Bowden who loses it in contact to Tuilagi. Sale put the ball through the phases. Just when they are looking dangerous the final pass goes straight to touch. Irish set up a maul from the lineout. The Garryowen, when hoisted by Dodge has too much on it for the runners to catch and Sale have possession again. Irish are defending well but are pinged for going over the top when Sale offer no resistance at the break-down. It is in the same place as the attempt at the posts he missed earlier so this time he puts it in the corner. Sale has a period of possession in our half that ends in a penalty when Irish do not roll away. This time Charlie Hodgeson does fancy it, but again misses.
Tom takes a deep 22 Drop-out and catches up with the Sale player about half way. A big Sale prop seems to be though but having been slowed by the first tackle is halted by Delon. The ball is laid back for a chip through which ricochets off an Irish shirt resulting in a knock on by Sale as they try to re-gather. Inexplicably Sale is given a penalty from the scrum at our put in. Looking at the replay Alex looks to be in trouble. He was certainly fingered for that offence. This time Charlie Hodgeson makes no mistake and puts Sale on the scoreboard after nearly half an hour of play.
It is a better restart from Irish. We do not reclaim it but are close enough to disrupt Sale. The ball is passed back to Hodgeson on his own line from where he puts a monster of a kick fully 75 yards that looks to be landing plumb on the line. Bowden is tracking it and chests it to keep it in play then gathers it to pass and keep the ball alive for a quick counter. Delon kicks into space in the far corner forcing Tuilagi to put it out near his own 10 metre line. Steff breaks through the Sale defence after the lineout finally being brought down inside the Sale 22. Quick ball allows brother Delon to get even closer. Five metres out and Sale kill the ball first diving in then not rolling away. Sorry but isn't that a yellow card in that position?
Tom restores the 7 point lead. He then has a little go on his own after an exchange of long kicks after the restart. A half break from Maps is laid back; Topsy comes in on the angle from deep. There is a chip through by Bowden who is taken out by Koye preventing him from following up his kick. The offence is missed by Doyle but the sweeper carried the ball back over his own try line so Irish have a 5m scrum. Irish get clean ball from the scrum. The backs are lining up watching the forwards his closer. It is Paicey who scores for the third time in three matches, a statistic he takes a moment to savour [pic: Paice3outof3]. It only leaves Tom to add the extras to take Irish up to 17-3 with the interval approaching.
Delon, after a moment's indecision with Tom claims the ball and drills a superb kick in the far corner. Sale gets the ball but it is slow. The clearance is infield, taken well by Delon but a well timed run sees him clattered. He does well to protect the ball and allow Dodge to get the ball away. He is back in the move on the loop but tracks laterally and is out of space when he is brought down. Dodge attempts a cheeky move down the blind side but is beaten by the touch line. Sale clears from the lineout but Irish come back at them. Bowden weaves his way through. He has no need of Delon riding shotgun on his shoulder who has nothing to do but congratulate his team mate [pic: DelonBowden]. Again Tom is called upon to add the extras. There is just time for the restart. Delon kicks a long touch which Sale take quickly, Tuilagi puts a grubber through which Delon connects with on the volley. A fortunate bounce and the skill of Charlie Hodgeson allows him to get the ball off the pitch for half time.
This is Sale's big match. That means you can't just have a quick game of U7s mini rugby, you have to do silly things with five metre high plastic balls. They want me to go inside one and roll around. Now I am one of those people who get sick on the teacup ride at Disneyland. The idea of an old bloke dressed as a bishop rolling around in his own vomit inside a transparent plastic sphere on a rugby pitch whilst 16,000 laugh is not my idea of fun. You think I am an exhibitionist?
Luckily the second half is about to start. If you are reading this as a bedtime story to kiddies, it is alright, the story has a happy ending, Hodgeson restarts for Sale and they go in all guns blazing. First three minutes are critical to their hopes of getting back into this game and sure enough Sale gets a penalty inside the golden three when Irish don't roll away. Hodgeson doubles Sale's score to 6. I can live with that if we now get possession. A good take by Sale at the restart. They counter down the wing. Bowden is there and makes the intercept. He chips ahead and is blocked by Hodgeson and another offside Sale player as he tries to chase it. All Doyle gives us is a Sale knock on.
Doyle is fussing over the scrum. The problem is he believes Sale are getting the upper hand so is looking for offences from Irish. Alex is suffering; he has some padding removed from his shoulder. Can't think that would help the problem, but maybe Sir thinks it will help straighten the shove. On this occasion Irish are the benefactors. Tom is charged with a long range goal attempt from out wide. Correct decision? We are chasing a bonus point wouldn't it be better to go for the corner? Since it went over I guess the answer is no.
Unlike Sale we do not secure the restart and straight away we put ourselves under pressure. Sale player is not releasing but Doyle decides it is Irish preventing release. Charlie Hodgeson with a three converted try deficit to overturn has no hesitation in kicking into the corner. The home crowd have something to shout about. Sale pack force down the blind side. Ref gives them another penalty, Charlie takes the lineout again. Sale takes the ball safely at the front but Irish get a good shove on the maul. This seals off the blind side for Sale making it easier for Irish defend. Sale come in on the crash ball and spill it. Irish clear.
Sale have dominated both possession and field position in the second half. For fifteen minutes they have been camped on the Irish line yet have not reduced the deficit. Are we weathering the storm or are the floodgates about to open? Maps tries to run the ball out of the danger zone. Having created the space the ball is fed back to Delon for the clearance. Delon is hit very late by the Sale flanker Fearns. No action taken by Doyle. Meanwhile Allison is on for Dodge. Play restarts where Delon's kick went out up near half way. Sale is attacking again but a pass goes forward. Irish are awarded a free kick and finally boot the ball deep into Sale territory. They have however kicked away possession, a commodity in short supply for the visitors since the interval. The ball is kicked back for Tom to put to touch.
Doyle penalises Irish at the lineout, Charlie Hodgeson puts the ball back in the corner. Sale takes the line and Irish again try to push the maul towards touch sealing off the blind side. Doyle forces Irish players to peel off and push from behind which allows Sale to gather some forward momentum. They recycle and advance through the forwards. Steff continues to scrap for every sniff of ball as a good flanker should and is rewarded with turnover ball. Doyle does not agree and gives the scrum to Sale. There are more changes to the Irish front row, Faan is on for Ion and Buckland for Dermody. The ball shoots out on the Sale side. The pass is intercepted by Maps who hacks on. Delon wins the footrace and gives it another hoof of his own only to be pulled back by his collar. Unfortunately he knocked on in the process so another scrum. Irish wheel the scrum through 90 but Doyle gives the penalty to Sale deciding they had done so illegally. Hodgeson renews his love affairs with the far corner. Sale is up there again looking for their first try as we enter the final quarter.
Finally Irish are roused from their stupor by the ghost of Leeds where they gave away a similar lead to a weaker northern side. Thinking they can attack from anywhere Sale spreads the ball after the restart when they are deep in their own 22. They finally make the clearance but already it feels like we may have weathered the storm. Sale bring on fresh legs for the final push. Irish however have the lineout and possession thanks to the Thorpedo. Irish cross the first 22. (The Bolton ground staff painted it in the wrong place so we have a greenish 27metre line and a white 22) As they approach the real one we get a penalty for a high tackle on Bowden.
Tom is asked to put the game beyond a single score but it is his wrong side and he cards a rare miss. Sale breathes again but have less than ten minutes. In an exchange of kicks Hodgeson is looking for territory and finds touch near the Irish 22. It is messy lineout ball but Irish finally get it back and clear. We then steal the lineout then gain a penalty when Sale prevents release. The tide has turned as Tom kicks for the corner. A try bonus would open all sorts of permutations that might lead to a top four finish. I am keeping my crystal balls firmly hidden beneath my cassock. Time enough for that later; let’s get through the final few minutes. Clean take at the back by Nick. Out to the centres, Steff barges through and goes to ground. Bowden finds Thorpe who finds Maps. Steff rips it off his captain and makes another yard. Elvis has a go, back to Maps who spills the ball in the tackle. It is practically illegal to criticise him these days but he does that a lot. Sale has a scrum. After a couple of collapsed scrums Doyle gives the penalty to Sale. Toby screams “Next job, next job!” In other words put the decision out of your mind and concentrate on the next task. The lineout is stolen by Irish again and taken on by Gibson. The kick ahead goes dead touch in goal so it is a scrum near centre spot with three minutes left. JJ comes on for Elvis in a last throw of the dice.
Last attack by Sale unravels when they dive over at the breakdown. It is Irish’s turn to go for the corner. A good drive earns them penalty advantage. We are into the final minute. There is some indecision when Dan is not clear whether there will be time to take the lineout. There is. The ball leaves Cabbage's hands with one second on the clock. Steff tucks the ball under his arm and the whole pack power towards the line with Sale deflecting the maul towards the corner flag. Doyle goes upstairs where there is s clear view of Steff's arm on the ball on the line. [pic: SteffTrySale] Tom's extras make the final score 34-20 lifting us to within 4 points of Saints.
Nice to see Toby, Macca and Bob with smiles on their faces. [pic: MaccaTobyBob].

It looks as if British classical actor Derek Jacobi wants to be the next Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Speaking on Radio 4, Jacobi said: ?My ears pricked up when it said that Disney was buying Star Wars.
'Oh, come in Sir Alec Guinness! Yes, on to the agent immediately.?
Jacobi, who starred in the 1976 BBC drama I, Claudius, added: ?I?d love to do my big franchise movie. Ian?s got his Gandalf, Pat Stewart has his Star Trek, Michael Gambon has got his Dumbledore. 'They are running out of these old men, you see. I have to be the next.?"
It's interesting to see another thespian want to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Sir Alec Guinness, but the report goes on to quote Derek on his motivation to be in the sequel trilogy.
"He suggested he is motivated by financial concerns..."
To me this is just wrong, wanting to be in the film because you are banking on it setting you up for life? Maybe they can put a mask on him if he does make it, and then replace his voice with another. I'd be ok with that scenario.

Commands to FPT may be written in the Fortran code. They are then introduced by the character % written in column 2 immediately after a comment delimiter in column 1.
The command IGNORE COMMANDS EMBEDDED IN THE CODE instructs FPT to ignore these commands. This is useful when the code contains commands such as INLINE or UNWIND and FPT is run only to reformat the code or to search for inconsistencies. The facility may also be used to suppress spurious errors from existing comments which begin with the string C% or !%.
Embedded commands are accepted by default (Note that defaults may be changed in the configuration file).

Thank you for sending in this question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I personally think the two best tours at Walt Disney World are the Keys to the Kingdom tour and the Backstage Magic tour. The Keys to the Kingdom tour takes place on stage and backstage at the Magic Kingdom and the Backstage Magic tour takes place mostly backstage at all four theme parks and at sites away from the theme parks. The Backstage Magic tour includes lunch and is about a 7 and a half hour tour. If that's too long, then definitely go for the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Both are fabulous and I enjoy doing both every couple of years.
If your husband likes animals you also might consider some of the backstage tours at Disney's Animal Kingdom. They are shorter than the two tours above, especially the Backstage Magic tour, if that works out better for you and him. | 2019-04-23T17:55:40 | https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney.go.com/question/husband-likes-tours-far-behind-magic-epcot-wilderness-214774/ |

Thankyou everyone who coming along last night and made the launch of Edith Rewa's 'Field Trip' collection a cracking success. We took some photos of the party so you can feel the fun vibe even if you weren't there.
The work looks absolutely beautiful and is still on display until Saturday 1 April | 12noon.
Edith's scarves and prints from the collection are now available to purchase online or in-store.
The lovely Edith Rewa is launching her new collection Field Trip at the end of this month. We are hosting the Melbourne launch party and we couldn't be more chuffed. You are invited to join us for a celebration drink here at Guild of Objects and be the first to see Edith's highly detailed Australian botanical illustrations jump of the page and on to her silk scarves.
This month we interviewed Edith about her practice and her new collection.
My name is Edith and I like plants!
I am a Textile designer and Illustrator, stirred by all things botanical and Australian.
I currently live in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains were I spend most of my days drawing natives, working on my label and doing client based freelance work. Bush walks, swims, bike rides and coffee intersperse work as well as trips to the big smoke or interstate to keep me sane from a solo work space!
How did you first get started as an illustrator and textile designer?
My first real love of illustrations and textiles started in high school where a warm and wonderful teacher introduced me to printmaking and more aptly, screen printing- the most satisfying process to combine the both. I stumbled across the Textile Design degree at RMIT almost by accident and have felt pretty lucky to be learning and fumbling my way into a career in it from there on! I started off in a commercial design studio in Sydney before migrating to full time freelance life in Blackheath in The Blue Mountains with a whole lot of drawing along the way.
Can you give us some insight into your creative process and where you draw inspiration from?
My inspiration is almost always centered around place. Landscape and observations and learnings of the flora and fauna within. Bush walks and travel keep my mind and drawing hand pretty darn excited. There is a reoccurring urge to share and showcase native specimens that might not otherwise be overly noticed or geographically possible in our day to day lives!
It is usually always a bit of a muddle of piles of books, plants in varying states of decay, sprawled pens and half finished drawings. There will reliably be a pile of scribbled ‘To Do’ lists lying around, a cordial soda water and sweet treat. My studio is very much a working reflection of the project I am working on at the current time. I like to use my walls as giant mood board and gallery space to help me jot out ideas or keep my mind on track.
Any advice or words of wisdom for other makers out there?
We are really excited about your upcoming launch at Guild, can you tell us a bit about your new collection and how it came together?
I can’t wait to share it with you all! It has been a long one in the making as I have been travelling about Australia and drawing and learning about places and plants in between other work over last year.
Field Trip exhibits a world I found to be alive and erupting with colour, pattern and incredible plant peculiarities. I learned about desert places previously unknown to me, excitedly illustrating my way into the landscape through the flora and fauna.
These designs push the Eremeophila neglectas into the spotlight, challenging the idea that ‘there is nothing out there’, wanting our arid land plants to be noticed and applauded. The silk scarves exhibit a landscape I explored in a series of trips into arid Australia. Fragments only, but I hope they take you there.
Roadtrip! I just got my licence last week (finally!) so I am brimming with excitement to adventure to all the places a bike and train can’t get me!
Always make time to get to know the plants around you. They will teach you to stop and look and learn and breathe.
Sound: The yellow tailed black cockies feasting and flying about our street at the moment. They have such a prehistoric screech!

Beers sales in pubs and restaurants are in a slump. Due to the new anti-smoking law and other regulations, pubs and restaurants are expected to sell 4.2 percent less beer than last year. This may be the biggest drop in the last 14 years. But sales if bottles and cans in stores have made up the difference, and the overall consumption has remained fairly steady.
The figures for sales in hospitality establishments from the Czech Association of Breweries and Malt-Houses (ČSPS) for January to August will probably be even worse at the end of the year, daily Lidové noviny (LN) reported.
Most outdoor beer gardens will close in the winter, and since the new anti-smoking regulations forbid people from smoking indoors that will leave patrons with no place to smoke except the cold sidewalk.
Other factors that have affected beer sales in pubs and restaurants include a new law on electronic evidence of sales (EET) and the closing of many 24-hour gambling bars due to restrictions on slot machines. Many rural pubs closed when the EET law took effect, as it was too costly to install the equipment to instantly register sales with the financial office.
“From a nation with a traditional pub beer culture, we are starting to become the land of canned beer, which grew in popularity by almost 46 percent year-on-year,” ČSPS said.
While pubs and restaurants saw a 4 percent drop, sales of cans and bottles in stores and other outlets rose by about the same amount.
ČSPS president František Šámal told LN he does want to see a situation where Czechs will celebrate the centenary of the founding of Czechoslovakia in 2018 with a plastic bottle or an aluminum can of beer in the living room instead of meeting friends in a pub or restaurant.
ČSPS executive director Martina Ferencová told LN some regulatory measures affecting the hospitality sector and their customers make sense, but the problem is that they all came at almost the same time.
She acknowledged the importance of the social problems the regulations were meant to address but also said that over-regulation has negative effects on the market.
Last year, a total of 16.4 million hectoliters of beer were sold in the Czech Republic, a slight increase over the previous year. The share of sales in pubs and restaurants has declined steadily since 2003, with an average of 1 to 2 percent annually, according to ČSPS figures.
2009 was the first year that more beer was sold through stores than tapped in pubs and restaurants. In 2016, some 16.4 million hectoliters of beer were sold in the Czech Republic, with 39 percent sold in hospitality establishments. That accounts for 6.4 million hectoliters, which is equal to 1.28 billion pints of beer. The remaining 61 percent was sold in cans or bottles in stores.
On an international basis, the Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption per capita and has held that position for 23 years, as long as the independent Czech Republic has existed. Research by Japanese beer firm Kirin again confirmed the Czech leadership. They used 2015 figures, with Czechs drinking 142.4 liters each per year. Tourism helps to contribute to the numbers.
Europe and the former Soviet states lead the world in overall alcohol consumption, based on the amount of pure alcohol in spirits, wine, beer and other beverages. World Health Organization statistics, reported by Radio Free Europe, show that Lithuania comes out on top at 18.2 liters of alcohol per person every year. Belarus, Russia, and Moldova also come ahead of the Czech Republic, which ties with Romania at 13.7 liters per person. South Korea is the highest scoring non-European country at 11.9 liters. | 2019-04-25T20:05:59 | https://prague.tv/en/s72/Directory/c203-Restaurant-Guide-Prague/n11203-Beer-sales-in-pubs-down-due-to-no-smoking-law |
Allied Vision has built up a strong portfolio of Short Wave Infra-Red cameras including new low cost models. With 7 models to choose from, it can be difficult to understand which model is best for a given application.
1stVision has made it a bit easier by breaking down the problem by reviewing several considerations which are identified below.
Or if you simply want to discuss your application or want a quote, please contact us.
If you are unsure what a SWIR camera can do for you, read this previous blog.
Resolution: The first consideration is resolution which is available in VGA (640 x 480) or QVGA (320 x 256). QVGA is only available in the low cost G-008 model and provides the highest frame rates.
Cooling: Cooled models employ an additional Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC) and fan which substantially reduces the the dark current and increases overall signal to noise ratios. If this is a factor, then the G-032 TEC2 Cool model is a good choice. The chart below provides the thermal constant of the camera noted as DeltaTmax. This is the temperature difference from the case to the sensor. In turn, any additional heat sinking will further reduce the temperature of the internal sensor and noise.
Frame Rate: Rates up to 344 fps can be achieved with the G/CL-008 QVGA model. The faster G/CL-033 will still achieve 301 fps with VGA resolution, but at a higher price. At a minimum, we can still achieve 100 fps with VGA in the G-032 models. (refer to chart below) For the highest frame rates, use the G/CL-033 in QVGA modes which will provide close to 1000 fps!
Details specifications for each of the models can be found HERE.
Interface: GigE Vision along with Camera Link interfaces are available, however the TEC2 cool version is only available in GigE. Camera link should be used if you need to be deterministic or if the full frame rate is needed at higher bit depths.
The charts to the left indicate the achievable frame rates in 8, 12 and 14 bit modes using either GigE or camera link interfaces.
As camera link provides a higher bandwidth, the full frame rate can be achieved in 12 bit mode versus a reduced rate using a GigE interface.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity chart below provides a good comparison between various models with the -033 model having the highest sensitivity. This is being driven by the image sensor in which the G/CL-033 has the highest quantum efficiency.

How often do we feel like Thomas here? A disciple of Jesus, with faith in God, but we have no idea where Jesus is leading us.
For me, that seems like the everyday reality. So we make ourselves into sleuths, seeking any clue from above as to what direction we should be heading. We might ask ourselves: was that coincidence actually a coincidence or was it God trying to show me something? I don’t think this sleuthing what Jesus is asking of us though. The only clue worth recognizing and contemplating is Jesus himself. I think he simply wants us to keep our eyes, minds, and hearts fixed on him.
When we feel lost, look to Jesus. He is the way.
When we feel confused or not sure what to believe, listen to Jesus. He is the truth. | 2019-04-20T13:11:04 | http://pray.strakejesuit.org/april-27-2018/ |

Al Campanie/The Post-StandardJoe Bonamassa during his last Syracuse concert, on Feb. 28, 2009, at the Landmark Theatre. Bonamassa and band play the restored movie palace tonight.
Joe Bonamassa waved me into his band’s tour bus parked outside of the Landmark Theatre for tonight’s Syracuse show.
The guitarist who first greeted the world as Smokin’ Joe more than two decades ago just pulled into town as this last U.S. leg of his tour winds down.
Buffalo last night. Hartford tomorrow.
In fact, the 35-year-old blues rock guitarist and singer who grew up outside of Utica in New York Mills said, there’s no time this trip to go back. That’s despite the fact that his father, Len, asked him to stop by his new Gibson-affiliated record store in New Hartford.
He said he feels good about the new album, “Driving Towards the Daylight,” which drops this Tuesday.
Sitting on the tour bus was Bonamassa’s girlfriend, Sandi Thom. She’s no stranger to music tours, Bonamassa pointed out of the Scottish guitarist, singer and songwriter. “She’s sold more records than I have,” Bonamassa said.
Bonamassa then walked the halls of the Landmark to the stage for sound check.
His band mates played individually as he listened and talked to them and crew members.
Then an old friend walked on stage. Midnite Mike Grimaldi got a big hug.
He played with Bonamassa in November 1989. That was Bonamassa’s first professional show. “Smokin’ Joe and Midnight Mike,” Bonamassa told the crew.
Bonamassa said he hasn’t seen Grimaldi in 20 years, but recently caught up with his old friend.
“The beauty of Facebook,” Bonamassa explained.
So Bonamassa invited Midnight Mike to bring his guitar to sit in some for tonight’s Landmark Theatre show.
“I said you bring your Telly (Telecaster). We’ll have plenty of amps,” Bonamassa said.
A beautiful stack of Marshall amps filled the restored theater with the blues as Bonamassa and band mates tackled a song together.
As Bonamassa fired out lightning notes and riffs on his Gibson, he had the look of a man who completely loved what he does for a living. Even during sound check. | 2019-04-20T09:26:36 | http://blog.syracuse.com/entertainment/2012/05/catching_up_with_joe_bonamassa.html |

In real estate, it is location, location, location. In retail, location is of utmost importance, but equally important is cleanliness which fosters positive appeal and public safety. Cleanliness is a form of advertising and the value of which needs to be consciously examined.
A clean retail facility is somewhat like a special friend or loved one—you are attracted to it and feel positive and trusting when you shop there. Cleanliness triggers positive emotions and offensive conditions triggers irritating emotions, distrust, shopper’s doubt, and buying hesitation.
Often, managers express their frustration about their housekeeping conditions by saying “We do our utmost to keep things clean, safe, and presentable but seem to always fall short”. Einstein has been credited with saying, “The Definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Conversely, if the correct product and tools are provided AFTER the appropriate education and training is imparted to a staff, sanity and ultimate success will prevail.

What Add-On Modules can do for you!
With our powerful solution already in place, introducing these add-on modules will make workforce management even more productive and efficient.
NOVApower Analytics is a new, dynamic way for companies to visualize their workforce management data. ODATA is used to link the NOVAtime Workforce Management / Time and Attendance solution to NOVApower Analytics, allowing all of your workforce data to be transformed into interactive, presentation ready graphs which are both visually impressive and extremely useful. You can retrieve, analyze, transform and report on any data to generate intelligent insights for one of the largest expenditures of your business, your employees’ work hours. NOVApower Analytics allows you to visualize and analyze years’ worth of data, combining, eliminating and customizing them into various charts and graphs for powerful, analytical, and actionable presentations. Analyzed data can then be scheduled to be sent out via email, allowing businesses to keep tabs on their workforce with ease.
Additionally, this module is also assisting many long-term care facilities, such as Vivage and Retirement Housing Foundation with Center for Medical Services’ (CMS) Payroll Based Journal electronic reporting (PBJ electronic reporting) requirements, recording the required information and dropping it into an exportable file, ready for delivery to the CMS.
The NOVAtime Automated Time Distribution feature allows managers to distribute work hours—automatically—without requiring employees to input job transfers throughout the day. The enhanced feature calculates daily totals of qualified timesheet hours and distributes these hours based on the pre-configured distribution rules. It extends the capability of the existing time distribution feature, which allows for manual distribution, and is ideal for cases in which employees’ real-time transfers are deemed too time consuming and labor costs are routinely changed to a selection of labor groups. The end result is transferred to payroll and included in specific system reports for cost analysis and management.
The NOVAtime Point System feature tracks employee attendance and exceptions, while assigning merits and demerits. It allows point values to be assigned to exceptions (e.g. tardiness, absences, and leaving early), and rules and threshold levels can be set up so that supervisors can view employees who meet or exceed the threshold of the selected exception type. Once a threshold is reached, the system can automatically generate pre-configured HR documents that supervisors may review with their employees. Ultimately, the Point System gives employers a cost effective means of awarding dedicated employees for proper attendance, while disciplining those who do not abide by company policies.
The NOVAtime Expense module is a valuable tool for companies that require employees to submit company expenses. System administrators can configure all or specified employees to have access to the Expense module, which will allow them to input selected expenses (e.g. mileage, airfare, lodging, meals, etc.) via Employee Web Services. Expense records can then be submitted to supervisors for approval.
NOVAtime provides internal, system-define messages and email alerts for added efficiency in various stages of the system workflow. The NOVAtime Notification engine enables event triggers to be selected with filters and other specifications, keeping supervisors up to date and fully informed regarding their workforce.
The most cost-saving function of the system is the NOVAtime Lockouts feature. This can be used to restrict employees’ use of the system, eliminating unauthorized overtime by preventing them from punching IN too early and/or OUT too late. Lockout restrictions can be based on an employee’s daily start/end time (fixed shift, or single schedule), or based on the Global Lockout setting that restricts all employees to the same lockout schedule.
Would you like a simple way to access your SaaS data in real-time, in Microsoft Office 365 or 2013? NOVAanalytics is an add-on module in NOVAtime 5000. The NOVAanalytics app allows customers to export data from a set of predefined tables within the NOVAtime application, taking analytics to the next level by using MS Excel, Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts. | 2019-04-20T06:19:22 | http://cintimesys.com/addon.html |

Operators behind the Cerber ransomware are currently running 161 active campaigns, which generate an estimated $2.3 million in annual revenue, according to a new report from Check Point and IntSights.
Check Point researchers have been tracking the malware since June and discovered that eight new campaigns are launched each day, on average. Their research once again reveals that the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) business model allows almost anyone to become a cybercriminal.
In July alone, the malware impacted around 150,000 victims in 201 countries, the CerberRing an in-depth exposé on Cerber ransomware-as-a-service report (PDF) reveals. Courtesy of this extensive infection rate, greater than that of other ransomware, the Cerber operators made an estimated profit of $195,000 during July, which translates into an estimated revenue of $2.3 million per year.
The demanded ransom is only 1 Bitcoin, which is worth around $590 at the moment. Of the $195,000 in profit made in July, approximately $78,000 went to the malware developer, while the rest was split between the affiliates. The security researchers estimate that the ransomware author gets around $946,000 per year, with little risk.
These cybercriminals enjoy high profits even if only around 3 percent of the victims purchase their decoder. The percentage depends on geography and distribution method (exploit kits, drive-by-downloads, spam), but researchers discovered that Australia, Canada, Great Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and India are the top countries for paying the ransom and purchasing the decoder.
According to the report, Cerber is proof of how large and lucrative the RaaS industry has become, as it is no longer exclusive to skilled cybercriminals who can write sophisticated code and establish a steady infrastructure. Cerber’s success relies on a large private affiliate program where the ransomware authors recruit people willing to distribute the malware to multiple machines.
Would-be hackers can head to dedicated forums to start their cybercriminal life, even if they lack the necessary technical expertise. These actors can leverage the pre-designated set of command and control (C&C) servers, along with a comprehensive and easy-to-use control interface available in 12 different languages to manage independent Cerber infection campaigns.
The IntSights Cyber Intelligence researchers observed marketing materials published on dark web forums and followed the process of recruiting affiliates. They discovered that eight new affiliates were joining the program each day, on average, and that every one of them was operating a different campaign.
The security researchers also explain that Cerber affiliates have become successful money launderers. The malware’s authors ask victims to pay the ransom in Bitcoin and they create a unique wallet for each victim. By using a mixing service that relies on a web of tens of thousands of Bitcoin wallets that are almost impossible to be tracked individually, the ransomware authors receive their ransom payment without risking being caught, after which they transfer a certain percentage to the affiliates’ accounts.
Check Point researchers believe that the Cerber ransomware is of Russian origin, mainly because it avoids infecting computers in specific countries, usually avoided by Russian malware: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Over the past month, Cerber targeted victims in 201 countries and territories, according to the report.
“This research provides a rare look at the nature and global targets of the growing ransomware-as-a-service industry. While extensive, this research also reveals a small piece of the larger global threat taking place as hackers use strategies like Cerber to increasingly target businesses and individuals. It is our hope fellow security vendors and malware research professionals take the proper precautions and deploy relevant protections,” Neatsun Ziv, Vice President of Threat Prevention at Check Point, said.
The security researchers were also able to find a weakness in the implementation of the decryption process. While they wouldn’t reveal the specifics, since it would make it easy for the malware developers to apply a fix, Check Point researchers did exploit this weakness to create a decryption tool. | 2019-04-24T12:48:22 | https://www.securityweek.com/cerber-ransomware-service-generates-23-million-annually-report |

If you make eligible contributions to certain eligible retirement plans or to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), you may be able to take a tax credit. The amount of the saver's credit you can get is generally based on the contributions you make and your credit rate. For more information, refer to Publication 590-A.pdf, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), the instructions for Form 8880.pdf, Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions and Do I Qualify for the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit? If you're eligible for the credit, your credit rate can be as low as 10% or as high as 50%, depending on your adjusted gross income. The lower your income (or joint income, if applicable), the higher the credit rate; your credit rate also depends on your filing status. These two factors will determine the maximum credit you can take. You're not eligible for the credit if your adjusted gross income exceeds a certain amount. Dependents and full-time students are also not eligible for the credit.
Use Form 8880.pdf to determine the rate and amount of the credit.

Sri Lanka’s metal manufacturing and exports have clinched a sudden breakthrough, thanks to a global foundry giant whose historic roots extend back to 1930s Birmingham. The adoption of international best practices can increase revenues of overall Lankan foundry sector by a substantial 30%.
“Despite many constraints, our light engineering sector has been bringing increased export revenues to Sri Lanka. A study has been done and it pointed to tech and skill gaps prevalent in the industry – and fixing them are crucial,” said EDB Director General Sujatha Weerakoone on 24 April at the Industrial Park, Ekala.

Three areas of law affect insurance claims. They are (1) substantive law, which creates the legal right to make a claim such as creating the legal elements necessary to make a valid claim; (2) procedural law, which provides rules regarding how and when a claim must be be lawfully made; and finally (3) evidence law, which provides rules regarding how one must prove (or disprove) a claim or a defense.
A recent criminal infraction case made its way up from the California trial court’s appellate division to the District Court of Appeal addressing these issues. The Goldsmith court held that computer-created evidence is presumed admissible.
The holding is important because it has implications far beyond nailing red light runners who are caught on camera, which was what the case was about.
In Goldsmith, the defense argued that the computer-generated photos and video showing the car running the red light was inadmissible because there was no evidence that computer equipment used to capture the photos and videos were accurate or reliable–an attack on the foundational requirements to have evidence admitted. The court agreed that Evidence Code, § 1401(a) required authentication of photos or video before they may be received in evidence, but found that merely required the party offering the evidence to show that the photo or video is what it purported to be or the establishment of such facts by any other means provided by law as per Evidence Code, § 1400(b).
Evidence Code, §§ 1552 and 1552 establish a legal presumption that printed representations of computer information and of images stored on a video or digital medium are representations of the computer information and images that they purport to represent. Based on this, the court concluded that the images and information, such as the date, time, and location of the violation and how long the light had been red when each photo was taken and imprinted on the photographs were presumed to accurately represent the digital data in the computer. Thus, the court concluded that Evidence Code, § 604 required the trier of fact to assume the existence of these presumed facts.
That the images were accurate depictions of the data stored on the computer did not end the inquiry. To be admissible, the evidence still had to be accurate and reliable. As to this issue, the appellate court deferred to the California Supreme Court’s holding in People v. Martinez (2000) 22 Cal.4th 106, at 111-112, 119-120, and 132. In Martinez, the Supreme Court held that testimony regarding the acceptability, accuracy, maintenance, and reliability of computer hardware and software was not a prerequisite for the admission of data stored on a computer.
In substance, the Supreme Court in Martinez and the appellate court in People v. Goldsmith (2012), held that California courts presume that computer-generated data that is retrieved from a computer is accurate and reliable. This presumption could be rebutted however through cross-examination. Note that the Goldsmith court found that this presumption would not apply to data inputted by humans. It would be limited to situations where the computer were set to automatically record the evidence without human intervention.
Where the data automatically records the evidence, the evidence is presumed admissible. The party opposing such evidence must prove to the trial judge that the evidence is authentic authenticity, accuracy, and reliability, and usually trial courts will let this evidence and then allow it to be attacked by cross-examination, etc., i.e., these factors go to the weight of the evidence as opposed to its admissibility.
The point? Let’s say a business automatically stores and records information on its computers. Goldsmith may require that this evidence is admitted, leaving the opponent of the evidence to attack on only how credit to give this evidence, as long as the data is not manipulated by or entered by people.
Imagine the possibilities. If an insured’s business tracks information about employees automatically, this computer-generated data is going to be admitted into evidence for better or worse, as long as it is relevant to some issue at trial. Trial counsel will only be able to attack the data’s credibility, not its admissibility. This will affect the settlement value of a claim, summary judgment/adjudication motions, settlement, and trial outcomes.
In sum, Goldsmith teaches that courts are catching up on technological advances. They are thus reluctant to waste valuable trial time arguing over why computer-generated information is reliable and accurate absent compelling proof in a particular case. The best way to avoid the evidentiary presumptions of admissibility would be to show that the data was entered by a person or likely was manipulated by a person entering or retrieving the data. Absent such proof of tampering, courts are going to find that computer-generated and stored information is admissible because it is automated and not subject to manipulation by people. Trial counsel will be limited to attacking the relevance of the evidence and its credibility. Goldsmith signals the end to most attacks on such evidence’s admissibility in the first instance, which is an issue of law subject to the trial court’s broad discretion. | 2019-04-22T02:26:44 | https://californiainsurancedefense.wordpress.com/category/insurance-defense/ |
How far BNP will go with this leadership?
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has faced the third consecutive defeat to Awami League in the general elections. The party leaders have been defeated both in their movement and the battle of ballots under the current leadership. In such circumstances, the question is: How far the party will go with the same leadership?
This has become the talk of the town. Not only the leaders and activists of the party but also the common people are now seen asking the same question.
After the conviction of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, her elder son Tarique Zia took the helm as the acting chairman of the party. But the main question is: Whether Tarique will be able to gain the acceptance from the global community in absence of his mother.
Especially, many well-wishers of the BNP think that party's defeat in the 11th Parliamentary polls would not be so humiliating if Tarique had got the blessings of India.
BNP secured only 32 seats out of 300 during the general elections in 2008. Later in 2014, the party boycotted the January 5 election which has been estimated as their one of the biggest political mistakes.
Experts think although the party participated in the last national polls, the party policymakers failed to assess the thoughts of the international community. Party insiders said Tarique Rahman could not gain the faith and confidence of the global leaders despite political lobbying and efforts.
A large part of the party thinks that Tarique's direct involvement in nominating the party candidates through Skype has cast an adverse effect in the national polls.
He also attracted criticism within the party by nominating some of his close aides, said party insiders.
Moreover, it had been estimating that if BNP wins in the poll, Tarique Rahman would be the head of the government. Even, he could be invited to lead the new government as prime minister. The foreign diplomats were also concerned over the issue and during a meeting with Jatiya Oikyafront leaders they asked the question. But, they failed to get any satisfactory answer and that could be a reason behind BNP's defeat in the polls.
Wishing anonymity, some leaders said two of the BNP Standing Committee members have already placed the proposal of changing the leadership. Two top BNP leaders--Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain and Moudud Ahmed--while addressing a programme on the occasion of party founder Ziaur Rahman's birth anniversary, also spoke on the issue.
According to experts, Tarique Rahman could create a positive image by withdrawing him from the direct political activities before the election. Rather, he could maintain the role of an indirect policymaker. Especially, he could assure the global community that he will not be prime minister of the new government in order to create a positive atmosphere.
One of the top leaders of Oikyafront and also the Founder of Gono Shasthaya Kendra, Dr Zafarullah Chowdhury, told Kalerkantho that Tarique Zia should take a formal break in order to gain the support of international community.
"He [Tarique] must understand the situation otherwise nothing can be done. One of the senior leaders of BNP can take the helm of the party until Khaleda Zia is released from the jail. She will lead the party again after her release as she is well accepted by all," he added.
Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar, secretary, SHUJAN: Citizens for Good Governance, said: "BNP is suffering from leadership crisis. In order to get out of it, BNP must select a new leader and also must work for restoring people's faith."
According to political expert Dr Tarique Shamsur Rahman, BNP cannot move further under the current leadership. Eligible and acceptable leaders should be included in the Standing Committee of the party.
Two senior BNP leaders wished not to be mentioned said BNP should not allow Jamaat-e-Islami leaders to contest in the poll with BNP's electoral symbol. It was a mistake which was also not accepted by the international community.
Although BNP is the major political ally in the Jatiya Oikyafront, Tarique Rahman is not considered the top leader of the alliance. Rather, Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain is performing the role of the key leader.
LDP Chairman Oli Ahmed, on the other hand, has been made the chief coordinator of the 20-party alliance. Consequently, in fact, Tarique Rahman's direct influence on the alliance is now scarcer. But after formation of the four-party coalition in 1999 and after the formation of the 20-party alliance, BNP chief Khaleda Zia was called “Jotenetri”.
Senior Vice-chairman Tarique Rahman took the responsibility of the acting chairman of BNP, staying in London after his mother BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was sentenced to jail in a corruption case in February last year.
According to the sub-section 2 of Section 8 (Ga/C) of the constitution of the party, in absence of the chairman, senior vice-chairman will act as acting chairman of the party. Under sub-section 3 of the same section, it has been said that senior vice-chairman will be appointed as the chairman during the remaining period when chief's post fell vacant.
BNP insiders said that according to the party constitution, there is no scope for anyone to lead the party keeping Tarique Rahman away from the party position. The constitution of the party is needed to be amended to pick another leader.
And in a bid to bring such amendment, the party must hold its National Council. However, some BNP benevolent suggested that someone from the party can be made an executive president to make the party a 'functional' one.
A member of the BNP Standing Committee has recently placed three proposals for making the party a well-designed one soon at a party meeting held on January 15.
One of these is holding the National Council in March or April this year. But before the expected council, he also proposes holding the meeting of the executive committee of the party and a meeting of the BNP nominated candidates participated in the December 30’s election.
This has become the talk of the town.
Not only the leaders and activists of the party but also the common people are now seen asking the same question. | 2019-04-21T11:00:34 | http://english.kalerkantho.com/online/special/2019/01/25/18704 |
HONG KONG -- The 25 Asian film projects selected for the 2008 Hong Kong -- Asia Film Financing Forum were announced Wednesday.
The lineup for the sixth edition of HAF is dominated by projects from China, South Korea and Japan and features projects from such renowned Asian directors as Japan's Nakata Hideo ("The Ring" series), Korea's Park Chan-wook ("Old Boy"), China's Li Yang ("Blind Shaft") and Hong Kong's Pang Ho-cheung ("Isabella").
HAF 2008 will be held simultaneously with sister events HK Filmart and the Asian Film Awards. International film financiers, producers, bankers, distributors, buyers and financiers will meet with filmmakers to discuss project investments.
"The projects submitted to HAF 2008 were of an extremely high standard and we had to reject a number of very high-quality projects unfortunately," said Wouter Barendrecht, HAF reading committee member and co-chairman of Fortissimo Film Sales. "If this sets the tone for the films to come in 2008-09, Asian cinema is flourishing."
Projects from previous HAF editions include helmer Kim Jee-woon's "The Good, the Bad and the Weird," which has recently wrapped and is set for release this February in Korea. Chinese director Lu Chuan's "Nanking! Nanking!" and Ning Hao's "Silver Medalist" will soon complete production and Clara Law's "The Messenger," which stars Guy Pearce and Radha Mitchell, will begin shooting in July.
A number of former HAF projects have debuted at international film festivals, including "Lost in Beijing" by Chinese director Li Yu and "Getting Home" by Zhang Yang at the Berlin International Film Festival as well as Taiwanese helmer Lin Chin-je's "The Most Distant Course" at the Venice Film Festival. Kenneth Bi's "The Drummer" became the first Hong Kong film to compete at the Sundance Film Festival. | 2019-04-23T02:09:27 | https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/haf-unveils-projects-2008-101695 |
AVAILABLE NOW: The MXR Sugar Drive provides a diverse range of clear and transparent overdrive tones, from sauced up boosting to blown-tube distortion. It’s based on a rare overdrive pedal that has acquired a mythical reputation among fanatical tone-seekers thanks to its unique circuit design. The key elements of that circuit design are the Drive control and something called a voltage doubler. First, the Drive control on this pedal doesn’t just increase the intensity of the overdrive pedal. It starts with your clean signal and then blends it with the overdrive effect as you turn it up, replicating the smooth transition of an amplifier going from clean to dirty. The voltage doubler increases overall headroom, which opens everything up nicely. Of course, we had to put the MXR touch on this circuit. If you’re all about true bypass, then you’re in luck—this pedal uses it by default. The original used buffered bypass, though, and we know there’s a lot of players out there who don’t want to fix something that isn’t broken. They’re in luck, too—just flick the Buffer switch on the side of the pedal to enable buffered bypassing. With a simple three-knob setup and an MXR mini housing, this is the go-to overdrive to have on your pedalboard. It’s versatile and it saves space, and unlike the original pedals it’s based on, it won’t cost you thousands of dollars. | 2019-04-25T14:41:41 | https://www.picomico.com/tag/pedalboard |
Evan and Dacia working on repairs to LB's deck and engine.
I looked back at the last two weeks and couldn't believe that we only travelled fifty five miles. Our time actually sailing on the open ocean was probably only around 15 hours in total. Looking back at what we accomplished as a team of friends travelling together in two weeks, we had been around the world and back again.
Tears came to my eyes when I first laid eyes on my friends way back in Viques, PR. They had taken two single engine planes to meet me on the island 20 miles of the east coast of Puerto Rico. I had only slept two hours that night when I set anchor off of a town called Esperandez. You get into a routine where you automatically wake up to check the anchor and lines. I was exhausted and relieved to have a helping hand and far more the morale support.
We celebrated and rested up for our journey up the southern coast of Viques. Our first day sail was rough and hard on both Lizzy Belle and the crew. We only travelled three miles and called it a day. We showered, ate, drank and laughed all day in the sun. Our next mission was to head to the very eastern edge of the Island. I'm not sure what got into these guys but no one felt sick and despite being super wet we all loved life.
From here on in, it was a piece of cake. We visited beaches without spotting another human being for days. We snorkelled a shipwreck, watched a manta ray jump at least three feet out of the water after it's prey, found unexploded bombs under water, ran from barracudas, and despite the spanish "No Pase" signs under military authority, collected beautiful sea shells on white sand beaches. Nothing beats being completely alone and only relying on the boat and each other for survival.
CULEBRA, PR...What a time. We were told Culebra was the place for us by fellow sailors and crew. They didn't let us down! A community completely off the map. Entire cities of tents, dinghy bars, golf cart rides, swim up bars and so much more. We were sad to leave.
Here we are in St Thomas. Back to the real world it seems. I made a reservation on our sail into the harbour to Crown Bay Marina. I asked if they had a slip for a twenty eight foot boat. They laughed at me and mentioned that if my boat was only twenty eight feet than they could accommodate me. We pulled in and were surrounded by mega yachts, cruise ships and styles of boats I had never even dreamed of. The "Hooters" mega yacht is even here. Our goal was to fix LB's exhaust, repair dry rotten wood on her decks and reprovision. We took care of the business and everyone helped out. Dacia sewed sails, stirred epoxy and helped Evan and I by delivering fresh Pina Coladas hourly. She flies home to Mahone Bay tomorrow and there is no doubt in my mind that she will be missed greatly by both Evan and I. Dacia took on a role on the boat that will be hard to replace and I believe that she fully understands now what my dream here in the Caribbean is all about. Her attitude and understanding will keep us going in the worst of times.
As for Evan and I... we are ready for the next set of challenges. Bring it on Virgin Islands!
We proudly, always fly the Canadian Flag. People seem to really enjoy our story and help out however they can.
The day Evan and Dacia joined in on the adventure.
Something about unexploded bombs from the war. We stuck to the beach but kept finding them in the water while we were snorkelling.
Evan and LB from the water. She had many bumps and bruises as well.
Evan and I mostly sleep on the deck under a tarp. Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night to an absolute downpour. We scurry below as quickly as possible.
Chilling at the Bar in Culebra. You have to be a close crew if you live on a twenty eight foot boat.
Sailing to Culebra with ZINCK on our noses.
LB in Crown Bay Marina before the repairs.
We had to find Marine Plywood to fix her deck. A local ship repair yard hooked us up for free. Then this dude cut out our template for two Heineken.
Dacia making Pina Colada runs to the grocery store.
LB's Dry Rot, first step is to chizzel out all the rotten wood. Evan took this job on like a hero.
Step two. Clean it up and make a template.
Step three. Fit the wood.
Step Four. Epoxy and fabric.
Step six will involve sanding, fairing, and painting.
Alright guys, this is it for me tonight. I'm happy everyone is enjoying the blog and I appreciate the facebook messages. Hope all is well at home! | 2019-04-24T15:45:52 | http://twentyeightfeet.blogspot.com/2012/01/far-beyond-fifty-five-miles.html |

Local news outlets report that 32 people have killed themselves by jumping off the Natchez Trace Bridge in Williamson County, Tennessee, as of 2018.
The bridge is 155 feet (47 meters) high and crosses Highway 96. Its railings are 32 inches (81 centimeters) high.
Republican state Rep. Sam Whitson sponsored the resolution, which unanimously passed the state House of Representatives this week. If it passes the state Senate, lawmakers would send the resolution to Congress.
Family members of some who died on the bridge have formed the Natchez Trace Bridge Barrier Coalition to push for more safety features on the bridge.
The bridge turns 25 years old this month.
An iconic bridge in Williamson County is garnering a grisly reputation. The Natchez Trace Bridge has become an alarmingly popular means for suicide over the years. | 2019-04-21T21:14:31 | https://www.wsmv.com/news/tennessee-house-declares-bridge-a-public-health-hazard/article_830ac77e-48d5-11e9-b76e-1f71b2038cac.html |

US Senator Tom Cotton and Congresswoman Liz Cheney have introduced a bill that prevents extending the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with Russia or the Stopping Russia Nuclear Aggression Act. It says “Under no circumstances should the United States agree to extend the New START Treaty beyond the current expiration in 2021 without drastic improvements to the deeply flawed deal.” The bill includes the provision of Russia’s agreement to verifiably reduce its stockpile of tactical nuclear weapons. It also stipulates that the new weapons mentioned in the President Putin’s famous speech in March must be included into the count.
New START limits the US and Russia each to no more than 1,550 deployed strategic warheads and 700 deployed strategic delivery vehicles. Effective since 2011, the agreement covers a 10-year period until February 2021 with the possibility of a five-year extension. So far, the talks on extending the agreement have not been kicked off to the dismay of many arms control wonks.
President Donald Trump has announced his intention to jettison the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty citing Russia’s alleged “violation” and the “threat” supposedly coming from China.Decried by the president last year, New START may be next up on the chopping block. He does not like anything done during President Obama’s tenure. The other option is an analog of the 2002 Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (SORT), which limited deployed warheads without verification provisions. According to Andrea Thompson, Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, the future of New Start depends on Moscow’s readiness to limit the new strategic systems President Putin mentioned in his famous speech in March.
It’s important to note that there are no Russian violations to blame for a US decision not to extend the treaty or pull out from it. President Trump will have to substantiate the reasons for another preemptive treaty withdrawal after the intention to pull out from the INF Treaty was announced. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly expressed interest in extending New START, although Moscow has concerns about the US removing nuclear weapons launchers from accountability under the agreement.
What’s wrong with the bill and why is it important to address the pertinent problems before it goes to the appropriate committees?
First, the tactical weapons in Russia’s inventory have nothing to do with strategic nuclear forces (SNF). Cruise missiles and nuclear-powered torpedoes are not part of any international agreement. There is no precedent of including them into the SNF agenda. The sea-based tactical nuclear weapons have been covered by presidential nuclear initiatives (PNIs). Tactical nukes have always been a separate subject. No treaty covers them. The condition of including them into strategic nuclear reduction talks is unacceptable. If the bill becomes law, no strategic arms agreement will be possible ever.
Now about the new weapons the Russian president told about. The Sarmat ICBM is replacing the Voevoda silo-based system, which is covered by New START. It does not add to the existing potential. The Kh-101 air-to surface missile has no relation to the treaty - it’s neither a strategic weapon nor a delivery means. The same way the Avangard glide vehicle does not breach New START when installed on the Sarmat or a carrier that does not fall into the category of heavy missiles. This system is neither a bomber, nor a ballistic missile. In theory, some of the weapons in question can be included into the agenda but it depends on Russia’s goodwill.
The overall deterioration of the relations between Russia and the US may provoke lawmakers into backing any anti-Russian bill. Adopting such an approach means shooting oneself into the foot.
When the bill goes to the floor, congressmen should remember two things. First, New START is not only about numbers. It includes the exchange of valuable information, which is hard to get by other means, and the unique and very reliable verification procedures. Second, with no SNF agreement in place, the world would have nothing to prevent an unfettered arms race. Another option is extending New START to buy time for thorough discussions on another treaty to replace it. But in this case they will have to say no the Cotton-Cheney-introduced bill.
Will an Arms Race Follow Trump’s INF Treaty Pullout? | 2019-04-20T09:01:54 | https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/12/01/us-lawmakers-introduce-bill-to-kill-prospects-for-arms-control.html |
THIS IS THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES. Beautiful, antiquated, old-timey nightmares.
I hope this gets followed up with a how to post.
I (*counting on fingers* 1, 2,... 3, ..... ah) fourth the motion.
My cat appears unmoved by my pleas for her protection. Thank you in advance for the nightmares.
you're evil. that is my personal hell. lol. SO NOT OKAY!
Why am I not surprised that you made the mobile? Heh.
Could only be worse if it was CLOWNS!
Brilliant comment, Maggie, absolutely brilliant!
You two just make my day. Wait - 3, including John. 4, including Victor.
I might have to leave a little surprise in one (or many) of his boxes. And why is there not an emoticon with an evil grin?
I have 4 lacy antique dolls that are meant to hang on a Christmas tree. similar look.
Am I correct in assuming John is sleeping in another room (or possibly another house entirely) tonight?
No joke: he made me store it in the garage over night. THE GARAGE. Ha!
Does that mean he's going to scare himself when he walks into the garage in the morning?
OMG - this is awesome TIMES awesome! Bwahahaha!
:) I love you and Jenny for this. This says a lot about me but I think it is hysterical. Twisted, but hysterical.
This is from that lesser-known Greek Myth, "The Mobile of Damacles."
I'm getting John Kevlar for Christmas.
"Mobile of Damacles" that's hilarious!
OMG This is amazing!!!! The Bloggess can be quite compelling.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTSkWnKs9rM watch this, you will love it!
And I'm started off thinking Coulton from the line "what's with all the screaming" Jen used up there. (It's in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ryNJVreiY) I'd forgotten all about the doll song!
You are scaring me. The fact that you actually made it... poor John. He should grab those cats and head for a hotel tonight 'cause I'm not sure he's safe even with that thing in the garage.
Now you just need to create a sing-along video to go with it. Every mobile needs music.
Why am I even encouraging this?
ahhh, nightmare fuel mobiles. it could be a brand!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! How did I miss this on Twitter?! Two of my favorite internet people making nightmares come true ;) I've been sick all day, so thanks for making me smile again.
You are the best, Jen!!!
That's EXACTLY what *I* was thinking!!
My mom's guest room looks like the original photo, only she has LOTS more dolls like that. A whole wall on one side, plus tables full around the room. When you walk out there is a four foot tall ceramic doll wearing a wedding gown in the hallway. I've never slept in that room. I don't know if I could sleep in that room.
Forget sleep, I don't know that I could ENTER that room.
I'm looking at the picture and below it is cover picture and book review for "Mrs. Peregrine's..." The cover of that book looks so much less creepy now.
Oh my word! You + The Bloggess = Dangerous in all the best ways!
Is this what happens when good bloggers turn to the dark side?
The clown is soooo creepy! It's eyes are haunting! SO FUNNY though!
That.... is the coolest thing ever :D and I want to make one, now. Just to terrorize halloween guests.
This is an epic win. Two of my favorite bloggers conspiring to create mayhem. LOVE.
I may have laughed entirely too hard at that mobile. Please note that I would NOT be laughing if it was in my home. I'd be peeing my pants in horror. But in someone else's home? HILARIOUS. I love that you did that. Poor John.
See kids, THIS is what happens when Sid from 'Toy Story' grows up and starts making crafts.
Knives, dolls, clowns... the only thing missing here is a dolly with a raptor head, amirite?
like, like, a million times like!!!
Eloise, that place is very, very, VERY disturbing! I don't creep out that easily, but the island of the dolls would totally freak me out.
If anyone ever asks me why I follow Epbot, I need only point at the awesomeness of this.
Eeeek! Where did you get those dolls? Did you have to make them creepier, or were they already that creepy? And what's the rabbit from? Are his ears broken off? Poor widdle bunny! Him jus' needs cuddles an' he'll put down his knife!
Excellently horrifying lighting on the mobile.
We need to see it from other angles, please.
Hee, no problem; I have even more horrifying angles... Think I might make up a quick tutorial, since it was surprisingly fun to make. I'll have more pics there!
LOL y'all crack me up!
Add some clowns and you would have to call the men with the butterfly nets to come get me..
Oddly enough, this doesn't really scare me, but I'm glad you're a generally sane adult who's aware of the fact that this is kind of disturbing. Also, from an anthropological standpoint, dolls freak us out because our brain tells us they're sort of human and sort of not (we have a natural part of our brain that recognizes other human beings). Our brain just has a hard time with this. It's also why we don't really like clowns. But it might be a fun Halloween decoration. I would welcome a tutorial.
You had me at "generally sane."
I would love to see the look on the face of the archaeologist that finds that in the future.
But aside from all that - amazing!!!!!
Dear God, have you never read Stephen King? I am so glad I am not John, those sort of dolls freak me out big time...I may never trust you again!
Absolutely Brilliant. Now i know what to do with those mass produced in china ugly porcelain dolls.
That's really creepy. Brilliant, but creepy. I've had to warn my husband not to read this post for fear of traumatising him, never thought I'd see the day. . .
UM ... wtf? I love it! Think it's a great chandelier to have for Halloween - specially walking into the front of a house - oohh I wih that was easy to get parts of up here. But really cool looking!
This made me choke on the water I was drinking. I love it. It's dark, twisted, and absolutely hilarious.
Perfect for Halloween, but I'd probably leave it out all year long like I do my ceramic skull (His name is Harold).
Incredibly mean to those poor little dolls.
Still laughing minutes later. Not quite what i expected to see on Epbot this morning but soooo glad I did.
Where did that image come from? Did you create that in Photoshop, or does that monstrosity actually exist somewhere in the real world?
*Shudders* I don't blame him. I wouldn't want it in my house (or garage for that matter) either.
I rarely follow blogs these days, but I have to say that yours is worth it. And, for what it's worth, that mobile is about the best thing ever to do with old dolls. I particularly like that missing eye and artfully smudged cheek... Now did you make it for reals or did you find the picture somewhere? I am inclined, knowing the sorts of creative projects you've done, to think you whipped it up (or is that filleted it up?) for the photo.
Oh yes, I made it! I think I'll post a quick tutorial soon, which will have more angles & closeups: the dolls are SUPER filthy and destroyed. Heh.
What does it say about me that my favorite one is the small one on the right where you can see the noose tied... Clearly, something is wrong with me... *shrugs* oh well.
Ahhhhh! That is the stuff of bride of chucky and many nightmares!
You know, I would TOTALLY hang that over my (non-existent) child's crib!
You could totally go ahead and set up a creepy nursery and hang this over the creepy crib. And then refuse to discuss why you have that setup when you don't have children.
This is awesome. But would totally backfire on me. I'd have nightmares, and my husband is unflappable.
OF COURSE it's the Bloggess' fault. A fantastic creepy mobile.
Miss Edith speaks out of turn. She is a bad example and will have no cakes today.
Oh, Drusilla would totally own this mobile!
Oh my gosh! If I didn't have a 4 yr old I would seriously do this.
I love it when my two favorite blogs collide.
Thanks for new something breathing on my neck creepy night terrors!
And I thought it was bad that my creepy neighbor has a bunch of dolls sitting in and around the bushes & flowers in her front yard. Very creepy.
I was torn over wanting the mobile but not living in the continental US but then I noticed what I think is a drywall knife in the middle there. And I know you said you weren't going to send the knives but my brand new amazing drywall knife did a runner. And I was super construction-nerd-girl excited because I knew* what it was. That's all.
*If I was wrong please never tell me.
I would love to have this it would be awesome. Halloween is my favorite time of the year and this would be prefect for hanging right where our dead plant is currently hanging or I would possibly even hang it inside. heh heh would love to scare my cat.
I don't know why I want this, but I do!!
dreams while making a gift for you?
But really, who doesn't like dolls with knives? | 2019-04-23T06:32:45 | https://www.epbot.com/2013/09/the-bloggess-made-me-do-it.html |
