[ null, "Samsung is set to unveil the follow-up to its multi-million selling Galaxy S3 this week, as its rivalry with Apple gets set to hit new heights. The eagerly-awaited Galaxy S4 has quite a billing to live up to – its predecessor sold some 40 million units around the world and helped to cement Samsung’s reputation as one of the truly major players in the global smartphone market. While Samsung has been keen to keep details under wraps prior to the big launch, there are a few things we can be reasonably sure about when it comes to the latest addition to the Galaxy family.\n\nFirstly, the S4 – like its predecessor – is expected to run on Android, although it’s expected to have a significantly modified version of the operating system to set it apart from other Android-powered phones. Samsung is understood to be looking at boosting brand loyalty – something Apple has already managed with considerable aplomb – and distinguishing the S4 from the rest of the pack of Android devices is thought to be a crucial part of its strategy. In addition, Samsung is also reportedly looking at ways to make more money from app sales – potentially by launching its own app store, thereby cutting out the middleman, which in this case is Google.\n\nOne potentially exciting aspect is the new eye-tracking capability which the S4 is rumoured to have. The New York Times reported recently that Samsung had filed for trademarks under the names “Eye Scroll” and “Eye Pause”, prompting speculation that the new phone will include software which tracks where users are looking and scrolling down the page automatically as they read. As Galaxy S3 users will already know, that phone’s Smart Stay function prevents the screen from dimming whenever someone is looking at it – so eye-tracking technology would seem to be a logical progression.\n\nWhat are you expecting from the Galaxy S4? Are you a Samsung or Apple fan – or neither? Let us know by posting a comment below.\n\nUpdate: Samsung has now unveiled the Galaxy S4. Most of the rumours have turned out to be true, with the 5″ screen and evolutionary (rather than revolutionary) design update arriving as expected, although the auto-scrolling eye tracking isn’t quite as awesome as many had hoped. You can read more about it at Engadget’s excellent preview.\n\nBack to Mobile Page Back to Samsung Page" ]

Four-hundred people added their names to the letter in the first 24 hours after it was published online.", null, "A screen capture of part of the letter to the Virginia Military Institute's leadership from four alumni seeking a review of the school's ties to Confederate history and symbolism. The full letter can be read online.\n\nROANOKE — Four Virginia Military Institute alumni have drafted a letter to the military college’s leadership requesting a commission be formed to examine and reassess the school’s traditions, monuments, and building names. The letter, published Tuesday night, was signed by roughly 400 people within 24 hours, ranging from the class of 1948 to current cadets. Its creation was spurred by recent debate within the VMI community over the institute’s future and how its history — particularly its ties to the Confederacy — should be memorialized.\n\n“We believe that this is a moral imperative and that tangible action must be taken to prevent parties outside the VMI family from determining the course of change,” the letter states. “We acknowledge that there is no panacea to fix VMI’s past, nor do we possess a clear set of remedies. These are complex issues of historical and modern interpretation, which are emotional for many Alumni.”\n\nThe letter’s creators, Donnie Hasseltine, Conor Powell, Mike Purdy and Shah Rahman, do not propose specific solutions. They instead request that a cross-generational and racially diverse commission of alumni and cadets review and reconsider “every element of VMI that possesses direct or indirect connection to the Civil War, the Confederacy, or the defense of slavery” and “determine whether they comport or conflict with VMI’s mission and values.”\n\n“Over the past month, alumni across all generations have engaged with each other about the future of the Institute,” the men wrote. “We recognize that change is coming; and we believe we must act together to shape these changes with and through your leadership.”\n\nVMI spokesman Col. Bill Wyatt said in an email Thursday that VMI’s superintendent, retired Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III, was unavailable for an interview. Wyatt said the institute’s leadership “is aware of all of the petitions being circulated and has heard from many interested parties on both sides of the issue.” Peay “will continue to give the matter attention in the coming weeks and months,” Wyatt wrote.\n\nThe four graduates’ letter comes on the heels of two dueling petitions directed toward the institute’s Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson statue, one started by recent Black VMI graduates asking the institute to address racism at VMI and remove the statue, the other a counter-petition — which received three times the number of signatures — acting as “a defense of the Stonewall Jackson monument and VMI’s sacred heritage.”\n\nThis letter, which will be delivered to Peay and VMI’s governing board of visitors, voices the alumni’s belief that VMI is in a position to be a leader on the issue and should be proactive. “Remaining reactive ... will diminish VMI’s reputation for wisdom and courage,” the letter states.\n\n“Let’s do things on our own terms while we still can before we’re made to do those things that are inevitable,” Rahman said in an interview Thursday.\n\n‘An appropriate method of change’Purdy said in an interview Wednesday that alumni have discussed addressing certain VMI symbols since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. With the recent national conversation about racism spurred by George Floyd’s killing and new action by cities, “it seemed more than past the time for VMI to actually do something.”\n\nPurdy and Powell, both 1999 graduates of VMI and longtime friends, decided to pen an op-ed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch calling for the campus Jackson statue to be taken down. They found out Hasseltine and Rahman, 1997 graduates, also had been thinking about how VMI should move forward, Purdy said.\n\nThough the four men had different approaches, they had similar goals and decided to collaborate, Purdy said. Hasseltine is a retired decorated Marine Corps combat veteran who works in cybersecurity; Powell is a freelance journalist; Purdy is a Navy Reserve veteran and lawyer for Google; and Rahman is an engineer.\n\n“Ultimately, we thought, let’s try to work with the administration,” Purdy said. “Let’s demonstrate that there is a core group of alums who are very concerned that the institute is effectively being left behind by the rest of society, and that it’s not going to be an attractive place for a lot of young future leaders to go to school.”\n\nThe group is about reassessment, not erasing history, Purdy said. The letter calls for history to be preserved, studied and placed in context based on “an appropriate method of change.”\n\nPurdy believes even those who oppose change may find the idea of a reassessment commission worthwhile. “Because the alternative is that all this stuff gets taken down. And it’s just a matter of time,” Purdy said.\n\nJackson, a Confederate general who also owned six enslaved people, taught at VMI before the Civil War. Until just a few years ago, first-year cadets — known as “rats” — had to salute his statue, which was erected in 1912 and stands in front of the barracks. Multiple buildings are named for Jackson and other notable VMI alumni and faculty who fought for the Confederacy.\n\nRepeating historyChange — rather, resistance to change — has put VMI front and center on the national stage before.\n\nThe school made headlines at the end of the 20th century for spending six years and millions of dollars in a legal fight to remain all-male. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1996 ruled the institute needed to admit women or turn private. The court ruled 7-to-1 that the school could not exclude women while taking state money.\n\nEven then, VMI did not go quietly.\n\nAlumni leaders attempted to raise enough money to buy the college from Virginia and turn private. Three months after the decision, the board of visitors voted 9-8 to admit women. Cadets and alumni lamented that it would be the death of the storied military college.\n\nBut the “parade of horribles” brought up in the ‘90s never came to fruition, Purdy said.\n\nIt’s that change that has informed Purdy and Rahman’s thinking about the current issue at hand. Women first matriculated in August 1997, two years before Purdy graduated and a semester after Rahman graduated.\n\n“I was one of those people that thought the world would come to an end when the first VMI female cadets walked into there,” Rahman recalled. “That didn’t happen, did it? Everything worked out just fine.”\n\n“If we would just embrace the change and kind of pivot towards the future, I think the place [is going] to be a stronger place going forward,” Purdy said.\n\n“This is an opportunity that we as an institution have at this moment in history,” Rahman said. “We should take this chance. ... We should decide our fate. We should do the right thing.”\n\nRahman was born in Bangladesh and lived in several countries during his childhood, the son of an American-educated professor. Rahman was drawn to attend VMI for its history, and he became head cadet at the college’s museum during his time there. He was used to adapting to new cultures, so he embraced what he saw at VMI without thinking too critically, he said.\n\nBut his views have changed as he has grown older, he said.\n\nHe has three children, all of whom were born in America. It’s them he thinks about as he asks his alma mater to reassess its symbols.\n\n“I have to think about their futures and what kind of an America I leave behind for my three children,” Rahman said. “So that they don’t have to experience a lot of things that minorities, including myself, have experienced in this country.”\n\nA group of former cadets want the military college's Stonewall Jackson statue to be torn down and for administration to clamp down on racism in the ranks.\n\nThe statue of Confederate Gen.

[ null, "Abstract:\n“After Eden” is an interactive installation using augmented reality on acrylic paintings, aiming to blur the boundaries of digital and classic forms of artistic expressions. Luxurious gardens bloom and flourish on Iseult Perrault’s artwork, and augmented reality is just a little step further allowing them to come to life. Playful shapes, creatures and sounds are hidden between the plants, secretly waiting for the spectator to find them. Whilst the vegetation seems dense and impenetrable at first sight, each visitor is invited to take a journey into this vivid jungle through augmented reality, a tool that allows new levels of reality and understanding.\n“After Eden” illustrates the utopia of a new and playful form of visual paradise; a luxuriant space which contains both surprise and danger.\nBy merging the virtual and the real, it brings two very different mediums together and underlines the timelessness of painting. With no surprise, it was inspired by the (un)idyllic representations of Eden in classical art history (‘Le Jardin des Délices’ of Jérome Bosh or ‘Les Portes de l’Enfer’ of Rodin for exemple). In a way, it echoes back to the 16th century theories about vision, mathematics and perspective which rule our daily realities brought to life by new technologies.\n\nBiography:\nThe three artists met in Lausanne during their studies at the prestigious swiss art school Ecal. They seized the opportunity of working together during a workshop with the designer Andreas Gysin. The two digital artists got inspired by Iseult’s series of paintings and her specific approach of including the spectator in her fantasmagoric world. They still work together in Paris, where they live.\n\nMélanie Courtinat is a Paris-based media interaction designer. She graduated from ECAL and co-founded the studio PastorPlaczek in 2017. Her work and research focuses on new media like virtual reality and video games, questioning the medium itself and prototyping its future.\n\nIseult Perrault (born 1993) works and lives in Paris, France. She produces visual narratives by collecting the images online and in real life, and mixing realities. Although relying on the collective imaginary, the topics researched resonate with her encounters whether real or digital.The process leads her to produce compositions embedded with their own stories: fictional exhibition spaces, volumes whose perspectives seem to collapse, green walls, fish walking on its head…\n\nFreelance Interaction designer and digital artist, Salomé Chatriot graduated from Ecal in Media & Interaction Design. Her practice oscillates between building physical installations and creating virtual environments that are taking shape in 3D photography, video, augmented or virtual reality. She exhibited her work from Paris to San Francisco passing by London, Lausanne and Milan and contributed for several magazine publications." ]

[ null, "Years ago, when I still worked for a traditional publisher, I wrote a blog post about the No. 1 disappointment of all published authors: the lack of marketing support from their publisher. This was back when social media was still a fringe pastime, limited mostly to MySpace. So if your publisher wasn’t investing in marketing or publicity, you probably had few available tools to market and publicize your work outside your community—unless you had funds to hire a publicist or a national platform of some kind.\n\nToday, some form of online marketing by both author and publisher is essential for all titles, and while traditional forms of marketing and publicity are still key—everyone wants a mix of online and offline exposure to maximize word of mouth—publishers’ launch efforts may be focused primarily or entirely on online channels. It tends to be more efficient, targeted, and cost effective.\n\nYet authors still have very traditional ideas of what their publisher ought to do to demonstrate support for their book, even though where and how books get sold has changed dramatically in the last decade. Here are three things that you may want or expect your publisher to do—but are very unlikely to happen.\n\n1. Send you on a national book tour\n\nThis is probably the biggest author disappointment by far, judging from the message boards and discussion groups where I see new authors unleashing their anxieties and questions.\n\nHere’s why publishers won’t send you on a tour: book events are among the least cost-effective ways to sell books. You may get very low turnout at multiple venues and sell not more than a handful of copies at each event.\n\nThe big reason to tour across many cities is usually to secure media coverage and reach the many more people who don’t attend the event—the more times and more places that people hear about your book, the better. Unfortunately, as most of us are too well aware, local media isn’t what it used to be and the opportunities for book coverage have diminished, which further deteriorates the value of touring.\n\nThat said, events help authors network and build relationships with booksellers that pay off over the long term. But the benefit is rarely tied to selling books in the short term unless you have a marquee name that can draw a crowd.\n\nAll this isn’t to say a publisher won’t assist or support you in setting up local or regional events, or even with more extended efforts that you wish to plan. But don’t expect them to set up or fund a multi-city tour to places where no turnout is guaranteed. It risks everyone’s time and resources.\n\nIf you do want to pursue events on your own, be aware that they’re more effective if they go beyond just a reading, and go beyond just bookstores. Think about all the organizations, businesses, and schools that might benefit from a visit or workshop; think about the places that might pay you to visit and speak. Also consider if there are other authors you can partner with—this almost always increases the reach of the event and the size of the audience.\n\n2. Invest in your book as much as their lead authors for the season\n\nIt’s very easy for authors to fall into the comparison trap. You look at the other books releasing from your publisher or imprint during the same timeframe as yours, and you see more time and attention devoted to them. Why aren’t you getting the same treatment?\n\nPublishers divide their list into A titles, B titles, and so on. Some titles (especially those where the authors received six-figure advances) are likely to get the most support, attention, and investment. These are the A titles, and they appear at the front of the publisher’s catalog with full-page or full-spread treatment.\n\nIf you’re not an A title, then you receive some kind of standard or baseline treatment that all authors receive, with the publisher ready to respond if there’s a quick win somewhere: a starred review, a celebrity mention, some kind of uptick in attention that can be capitalized on.\n\nAnything but an A-list title isn’t likely to receive major or national advertising or a huge publicity push to major media outlets. However, the “standard” attention your book receives isn’t exactly worthless. It likely still involves creating advance review copies of your book, sending it out to important review and media outlets, offering giveaways or doing targeted advertising, and so on. It’s just not going to be the sales and marketing focus of the publisher unless it picks up momentum in some way or gains enthusiasm in the marketplace.\n\nWhich brings us to the most important thing that you can do as an author: Figure out as far in advance as possible what your publisher’s plans are for your book—but not in a confrontational way. Proactively let them know at least six to nine months prior to your publication date what you plan to do to support your book. They can then suggest ways to support and expand on what you’re doing, and fill in the gaps where you don’t have as much marketing or publicity strength. The more you see it as a team effort, where you both take initiative, the better off you’ll be in the end.\n\nFurthermore, you want your publisher to know what you’ll do to support your book before they start pitching their major accounts, such as Barnes & Noble. Bookstore and wholesaler orders are placed before the book releases, and those orders are affected by the marketing and publicity plan the publisher presents and commits to. Your efforts are part of that plan and can’t very well make a difference if your publisher doesn’t know about them. Don’t wait until the weeks before launch to figure out your plan; by then, most of your publisher’s marketing and publicity plans—the ones with the most potential to affect bookstore orders and national promotion and placement—are concluded.\n\n3. Market and publicize your work after the initial launch period has passed\n\nOnce you’re aware that your publisher’s most important efforts and planning happen before the book is released, it starts to makes more sense (maybe!) why their post-launch activities may be minimal. The plan that was decided upon months ago has already been set in motion, so it’s mainly about coordinating, following up, and building on any momentum that has been created.\n\nUnfortunately, the large majority of book launches involve some sales, some reviews, but nothing outstanding that would motivate the publisher to invest more resource. For authors who haven’t prepared or thought about the launch, this is when panic sets in, especially if they expected more from the publisher. While publishers do a lot of marketing and publicity work to the industry itself (booksellers, wholesalers, libraries, reviewers, media), this work tends to be invisible to the author. For better or worse, these industry-facing activities may not produce the sales everyone wants, or they may not meaningfully affect how many readers hear about the book.\n\nEach publisher and imprint is different in terms of its strength and ability to reach readers directly, but it’s almost always done through online channels (Goodreads, social media, advertising on literary blogs and newsletters, and so on). But few publishers will continue to put forth such efforts beyond a three-month window after the publication date; they’re doing their best to support initial sales through stores and create a positive track record. Then they have to move on to the next season of titles.\n\nAuthors can and should continue to reach readers directly the months (and years) after publication through whatever means they have available to them—whether online or offline. More than half of any book’s sales is likely to be through Amazon, and continued sales over the long term is affected by one’s rating and reviews there. Try to worry less about how much your book continues to remain stocked in a Barnes & Noble or nationally, and focus more on ways to perennially get attention and word of mouth for your book to the audiences most likely to buy it.\n\nFor more on book marketing and publicity, check out these other articles:", null ]

[ null, "Before I started traveling full time, I had no idea what a VPN was, what it did, or how to use it. But now, I use a VPN when traveling all the time—while on the road and even at home. To explain very simply, a VPN creates a virtual tunnel between you and the web.\n\nTo explain, I’ve created an ultimate guide to using a VPN while traveling!\n\nWhat is a VPN?\n\nVPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is basically a private connection between your computer and any website or application. By setting up a VPN, you can change your IP location, encrypt your data, and access apps that are otherwise unavailable.\n\nIt protects all of your internet traffic, including emails, voice calls, videos, and music.\n\nWhen Do You Use It?\n\nThere are many reasons to use a VPN—both overseas and at home. A VPN adds an extra layer of security on your computer.\n\nWhile you’re traveling, you often connect to public or semi-public Wi-Fi networks in places like airports, cafés, hotels, and train stations. Anyone on this same network can potentially grab your unencrypted data—goodbye usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers.\n\nA VPN is essentially a private network that only you can access, so there’s no risk of theft or a data breach.\n\nA VPN also gets around service restrictions and censorship. Many governments block popular sites like Netflix, Facebook, or BBC to restrict access to services that are considered contrary to national interest. For example, if you want to update your status in China but discover Facebook is banned, your private network can bypass many of the government restrictions.\n\nHow Do You Use It?\n\nIt’s so simple—download and install a VPN app on your phone, laptop, or tablet. Connect to the internet, then start up your VPN. Choose the server you’d like to use and voilà!\n\nYour data is encrypted and your location a mystery. When choosing a VPN provider, make sure it has platform compatibility, no hidden fees, acceptable speeds, a good choice of servers, and availability in as many countries as possible.\n\nI’ve used ExpressVPN for years now and found it completely reliable during my travels through China, UAE, Cuba and beyond!\n\nCan I Get in Trouble for Using a VPN?\n\nWell maybe, but not likely. The U.A.E. is one of the first governments in the world to actually regulate the use of a VPN, so just think twice before using one in Dubai.", null, "VPNs offer anonymous IP addresses from other countries, and this can actually help you buy cheaper plane tickets. Domestic tickets bought in-country are often cheaper than if they were bought abroad.\n\nFor example, say you want to buy a ticket to, from, or within Vietnam on Vietnam Airlines, but you live in San Francisco. By using your VPN to access a server in Vietnam, you are tricking the airline’s website into thinking you actually are located in Vietnam.\n\nThis can give you access to lower fares that are otherwise unavailable!\n\nLearn how to get a VPN here!" ]

[ null, "Latvala violated the law 'by using his position as Senator and/or committee chair to engage in sexually or romantically oriented comments, behavior and/or invitations to a female lobbyist.'\n\nFormer Sen. Jack Latvala will be censured as part of an apparent settlement with the Florida Commission on Ethics that would appear to be the last chapter in the sexual harassment allegations against the Clearwater Republican first made public more than four years ago.\n\nThe settlement, dubbed a Joint Stipulation of Fact, Law and Recommended Order, is signed by Mark Herron, Latvala’s attorney, and Elizabeth Miller, advocate for the Commission. It acknowledges Miller recommended a finding of probable cause that Latvala violated three state laws barring public officials from accepting “anything of value” in exchange for a particular action made in their official capacity.\n\nBut the settlement also states two of the allegations should be dismissed and only the third, that Latvala “corruptly used his official position” to “secure a special privilege, benefit or exemption for himself,” is recommended to be upheld.\n\nLatvala “admits he used poor judgment as part of a consensual 20-year relationship, which because the female was a lobbyist may have constituted a technical violation of Section 112.313(6), Florida Statutes, but there is no evidence this affected his official actions in any way,” the settlement states.\n\nBut the settlement also states “it is unlikely that the evidence could establish to a level of clear and convincing proof” that Latvala committed the three alleged violations of state law. However, it also contains an admission from Latvala regarding the third allegation.\n\nLatvala “violated Section 112.313(6), Florida Statutes, by using his position as Senator and/or committee chair to engage in sexually or romantically oriented comments, behavior and/or invitations to a female lobbyist.”\n\nAllegations against Latvala first became public in a POLITICO story in 2017, citing six anonymous women, including lobbyists and Senate staffers, detailing allegations of groping and sexual innuendo. A subsequent Senate investigation into the matter revealed Latvala’s repeated sexual harassment and allegations he would vote favorably for a lobbyist’s issues in return for sexual favors.\n\nLaura McLeod later came forward in the Miami Herald as the lobbyist involved in a long-term relationship with Latvala. The relationship was consensual, but McLeod said she also felt compelled to placate Latvala, who was a powerful Senator and chaired the budget committee. She said she was pressured to have sex with him in 2015 and 2016. Another woman, Rachel Perrin Rogers, a Senate staffer at the time, also came forward with sexual harassment allegations against Latvala.\n\nTexts from Latvala to McLeod also suggest he was willing to use his office to threaten action or inaction in return for sexual favors.\n\n“Maybe I should sit on the bill another week at least until I hear that sound (of having sex),” Latvala wrote to McLeod in February 2016.\n\nLatvala has denied some of the allegations but resigned in December 2017. The ethics complaint still worked its way through the Commission, however, culminating in a finding of probable cause in March.\n\nThe settlement recommends Latvala be censured, and the matter be referred to Senate President Wilton Simpson for further action. But since Latvala is no longer a Senator, it’s unlikely the Senate has any power to punish him.\n\nThe Commission will meet on July 22 to take action on the settlement." ]

[ "Početna / NEWS FROM APC / Djurovic: The efficiency of determining refugee status and integration of the refugees are the biggest challenges", null, "Djurovic: The efficiency of determining refugee status and integration of the refugees are the biggest challenges\n\nBelgrade, 20 June 2019 – Director of the Asylum Protection Center (APC/CZA) Rados Djurovic assessed today, on the occasion of World Refugee Day, that the biggest challenges regarding refugees in Serbia are related to the speed and efficiency with which migrants can achieve refugee status, their integration into mainstream Serbian society, and the systematic apathy demonstrated towards unaccompanied minors. “From January to early May 2019 out of 2,269 people who wanted to seek asylum, asylum procedure was initiated for only 107 persons, and only 12 refugee protections were granted in Serbia. This is very slow, although it is a progress compared to the previous year, when 11 refugee protections were granted to over 8,433 persons who expressed their intention to seek asylum in 2018. This means that we, in fact, do not know who the refugee is, and who is not, who has rights and obligations, and we cannot separate these two groups, which all together creates problems in practice”, Djurovic said to the Beta agency.\n\nDjurovic added that out of 227 unaccompanied minors who expressed intention to seek asylum in the first four months of 2019, only 19 began the asylum procedure. Since the establishment of Serbia’s asylum system in 2008, only two unaccompanied minors have been granted asylum. “The rest remain in a legal vacuum. The system does not know if they are eligible to be refugees or not,” Djurovic added.\n\nDjurovic emphasized that the largest number of unaccompanied minors is accommodated in collective migrant and asylum centers for adults, where minors do not have the adequate conditions for ensuring their safety. At these centers in which, children are in contact with adults, the minors are completely unprotected from the adults’ influence.\n\nIn addition, “they are often left without continuous supervision and care of social workers, and are exposed to the risks of making contact with smugglers, criminals and those who can abuse their vulnerable position. In these centers, children do not have basic conditions for unhindered psychosocial development or necessary conditions for education, nor do they have the proper conditions for socializing with local children and integrating themselves in their local communities”, Djurovic added.\n\nDjurovic said that the issue of integration was imposed as a necessity for all those who have been in Serbia for several years and waiting for the final decision on their claims for asylum, as well as for those who received refugee status.\n\n“This field is not developed enough and most of them face an indefinite stay in our country for many years, living in legal uncertainty, with unresolved status and with the need to have a normal life in the local environment. Slowly, the conditions are created to push these people to the margin, into a parallel and less visible reality, which carries big and new problems and issues, unless we determine whether they are refugees or not,” Djurovic said.\n\nDjurovic stated that Serbia must provide shelter and protection under the Constitution and the Law on Asylum and Temporary Protection for everyone who claims to be a refugee, which includes the right to integration, education, access to the labor market, freedom of movement, private property, health care, identity documents and more.\n\nFor those who are not refugees, other legal statutes are applicable, such as deportation, temporary protection, subsidiary protection, return to the country of previous residence, etc.\n\n“If we were to determine more quickly whether someone is a refugee or not, it would be clarified who has rights and obligations in the country too. If the special center for the admission of unaccompanied minors were opened that would speed up the procedures for them, while protecting children from crime, smuggling and trafficking. And if the refugees would more easily and quickly integrate into society, they would soon cease to be seen as a burden of on the system and become a more equal part of society,” said the APC director on the occasion of the World Refugee Day.\n\nPrethodno Djurovic: The human attitude towards refugees is crucial in order to understand them and help them\nSledeće Migrant/refugee situation in the south of Serbia from April 22 to June 24, 2019", null ]

[ null, "I was back home after a month. Tired and sleepy I lay on the couch just when my eyes fell on a wedding card. It was of my sister’s friend, Aditi Didi. Aditi Didi has been very close to my sister since school days. She is too soft spoken, gentle and kind hearted. And she was just twenty-three. She was getting married to Anand bhaiya, again, Didi’s school senior. Bhaiya was not that old. Mom might have forgotten to inform me regarding their marriage.\n\nOn asking mom, I got to know that their marriage has been fixed some 15 days before and they do not even know each other properly. Aditi Didi has been working in the secretariat and Anand bhaiya in the Indian army. My heart thumped. I am not against these but thinking of a girl being the wife of an army officer makes me very restless. I can feel the sacrifices, the courage and the boldness one needs to have to be an army officer’s wife. I remember I could not sleep for nights after hearing Nikita Kaul’s speech for her martyred husband Major Vibhuti.\n\nThese tall, olive green dressed men, displaying tremendous acts of values in unexpected situations are not mere soldiers of the nation. They are the pride of every Indian soul. They stay away from their families, guarding the nation across various extreme weather and critical ground conditions.\n\nThree days later the marriage took place. I got to know this from the gossips that apparently bhaiya was getting old and was on duty most of the time. So, getting him married will be a happy moment in his life so that he can get some love from his wife as well. Ten to fifteen days after his marriage, the notice for call came and he had to leave the next day. An army officer's wife, no doubt bids a good-bye to her husband with a bold heart but somewhere inside lies the fear of the chances of her husband not returning home. The day when Anand bhaiya left for duty, Aditi Didi did the same. She was smiling till the end moment until bhaiya turned back to have a glimpse of her. Now death is uncertain and the uncertainty increases if you are going to the battle field. Just as Didi had this fear of losing bhaiya, he too had the same fear. That night, aunty asked both of us to stay back at their place so that Didi does not feel alone. She cried and cried like hell. It felt like just yesterday she was getting married and today she is sending bhaiya to the battle field by helping him to get ready with his uniform and his bags.\n\nI was back to hostel after a couple of days. Getting back to my workplace makes me forget everything about my hometown. I had totally forgotten about Aditi Didi and even did not ask mom about her. Finally, out of blue mom asked me if I had talked to her and conveyed me the good news that she is pregnant. I was over-whelmed. Not for me being a maasi, but for bhaiya being a father. The thoughts kept on revolving my mind regarding his happiness when he would get to know this. We never get to know when he would return because sometimes holidays are cancelled. Even the battlefields do not have proper network connection.\n\nBhaiya was back home when it was eight months to her pregnancy. I was excited and thus kept asking mom everyday what and how the situation was. Finally, I had a vacation and was at home when she had her labor pains. She was taken to the nearest hospital where she delivered a baby boy. Bhaiya got an emergency call regarding the cancellation of his vacations. He had to leave in an hour. Unfortunately, he did not get a chance to see his son’s face.\n\nBefore leaving, we all could see that reluctant face of bhaiya. Everyone could get to know that he was not at all interested to leave his wife and his new born baby. But when motherland calls, family becomes the second priority. Unlike every time, Didi did not have any fear in her mind that bhaiya was going for an emergency and will be fighting with the terrorists. She was super confident that he would return back. Couple of days later, I was at their house when a phone call came. Aunty took the call and suddenly fainted. When she regained her senses, she could not speak anything but cry. The news of Anand bhaiya being no more was spreading like an epidemic. Didi seemed to have turned out to be a doll after receiving the news. Few days later, one autumn afternoon, there was a huge crowd before bhaiya’s house. The body of Anand bhaiya came wrapped in the national flag inside a wooden coffin. Opening the coffin, we could see the same smiling face of bhaiya. Nothing other than the cotton plunged to his ears and nose proved that he was dead. His face seemed like he would just wake up to smile and take his son in his hands and play with him for long and long hours. But he did not get up. He was taken for the last honor and then his cremation would take place. Aditi Didi was asked to present her speech for bhaiya. While she was speaking, tears rolled down her fair cheeks. Her voice broke often still she continued. The speech ended with a promise of Didi making her son an army officer and a loud outburst of tears. While she was speaking, the entire video displaying the speech of Nikkita Kaul came before my eyes. We watched and before our eyes the entire body of Anand bhaiya was burned down into ashes. Thus, one life ended before seeing and enjoying the world, fighting for the nation. The other lives did not stop but moved on trying to fulfill the promises that they made to bhaiya.", null, null, null, null ]

[ null, "International Bird Rescue’s team has been in Billings, Montana since July 3 working on the Silvertip Pipeline Spill Incident in the Yellowstone River. We have sighted hundreds of clean and healthy Canada Geese and Mallard ducks, but no oiled birds. After talking to other professionals working on the spill, and with most of our time spent along the river, it became clear to us why we are not seeing oiled birds. Massive snowmelt has made the river a rapid and violent body of water that has wiped out the quiet inlets and slack water areas that waterfowl enjoy. Many of the area’s seasonal wild residents had already been forced to move, thereby avoiding much of the oil as it flowed down the river.\n\nThe turbulent river was so fast that it broke up the slick into streamers that eventually became smaller smudges and pieces of oil. These pieces can be seen on patches of vegetation, and as they dehydrate and become even more sticky, leaf and other debris adheres to them, helping them decompose quicker, and ultimately making them less likely to harm wildlife. On the other hand, fast-moving water also makes finding any remaining oil more difficult.\n\nTo date we have recovered one oiled baby garter snake, and it has been cleaned and released. All in all, this is not the worst spill we have been involved with, but it’s still a spill, and we will continue to monitor wildlife along the river as long as there is any risk.\n\n3 thoughts on “Keeping Watch on the Yellowstone River”" ]

[ "An initiative that is very close to the pop star’s heart, Lights, 28, has partnered with Kiehl’s Since 1851 for the second edition of Kiehl’s Rocks for Kids Campaign in support of leading music education charity, MusiCounts, with the aim of donating $50,000 to the cause.\n\nThrough this year’s program, children in Canada, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances or cultural background, will have access to a music program through their school or community.\n\n“We were thrilled when Lights brought this opportunity to our attention. She never ceases to amaze with her talent, generosity and continued support,” said Allan Reid, President & CEO, CARAS/The JUNO Awards and MusiCounts. “Kiehl’s has a longstanding history of supporting children’s causes like music education, as does Lights, and now together we will be able to put even more instruments in the hands of kids who need them most.”\n\nAs part of the Kiehl’s Rocks for Kids, a Limited Edition Ultra Facial Cream will be available this month with 100% of net profits donated to MusiCounts. Since its establishment in 1997, MusiCounts has been awarded close to $8 million to support music education in Canada. These funds have benefitted 700 schools and communities from coast to coast.", null, "We sat down with Lights to chat about her partnership with Kiehl’s, the importance of music education and how motherhood has affected her music. We even got an exclusive on some new music in the works before she took to the stage performing a very intimate and personal acoustic show for her fans in Vancouver on Thursday evening.", null, "So what exactly is the partnership you’ve created with Kiehl’s?\n\nWe collabed on this Limited Edition version of the Ultra Facial Cream, which I love, I’ve been using for a long time and 100% of the net profits goes to MusiCounts. The goal is to raise $50,000 to keep music education alive across Canada.\n\nOne hundred per cent! Keihl’s is getting nothing out of it and that’s amazing. One of their founding principles is giving back to the community, and that’s what I love about them. Working with them has been awesome, Ashley Sivil (Kiehl’s Integrated Communications Lead) is right here and she’s so sweet. I designed the label on it, that’s my only contribution to the amazing product. Everyone there cares so much and they are involved in a lot of great initiatives, this one being one of them. I could speak wonders about MusiCounts as well. I’ve done so much work with them.", null, "Music education is an important component for kid’s to learn in schools and have in their lives. How important is MusiCounts in Canada?\n\nMusiCounts basically keeps music education alive in Canada. A lot of schools will cut music programs or won’t even have music programs because it’s one of those things that gets cut first, I don’t know why. And they make sure that these schools have that program and that stays alive so there are instruments in school that kids have access to it.\n\nHave you always had access to be able to play music?\n\nWhen I was young, my dad was a musician, so I always had instruments and I was always able to play music and get everything out that way. But if I didn’t have my dad as a musician I wouldn’t have had access to instruments, because two of the high schools I went to didn’t have music programs. So I wouldn’t be the person I am without it. Especially being a mother now, I mean finding a way to channel all of that energy in to something that you can be proud of, that can actually help you shape your identity is such a power and it’s so important. And I think that everyone needs to know that and everything and everyone needs to have access to instruments. Everyone deserves to be able to play them and MusiCounts makes sure that happens.\n\nMusic is so important to so many people’s lives. It can make the difference of getting out of bed in the morning. Do you find that in your own life?\n\nYeah, well that was the first time I think I really realized I wanted to do music was when I really, fully understood that I was being affected by something that didn’t exist. That’s magic, you know. That’s power. I immediately knew I wanted to be able to harness that and learn how to use it. And everything I went through when I was young whether it was a fight with my parents, or a break up with a guy, or a moment I had doubted myself or a moment that I was really proud of myself, I wrote a song about it and got that off my chest. It was really cathartic and it was powerful.\n\nHaving the ability to play an instrument or get something creative out really helps someone form their sense of self and that is probably often overlooked as an element of importance in a child’s life. Hopefully this keeps music alive for young people.\n\nWhile you were pregnant with your little girl, how did you get past your writer’s block?\n\nIt’s kind of funny, and this just goes to show the power of art and the power of creativity. But if I am able to create something I’m really excited about and write a song I’m really in love with I look in the mirror and think I look more beautiful than I ever have. And I feel the most beautiful after I create something that I love. So of course in a time where you’re creatively dry and have writer’s block your self-doubt is very high and it’s like this spiral that goes down. It’s hard to pull yourself out of that and I dealt with that a lot on the third record. I think every record it gets harder to sort of one-up your last project.", null, "Your albums have been all so different. What was the process like with “Little Machines”?\n\nEverything is different. You want progression but you still want the same Lights that your fans love. So you have to find the balance and you have to find the balance of expectation too of what you expect of yourself, what your label wants, what your fans want and what nature wants, where it’s just going to go. So it was a process of self-discovery and in all that I’ve kind of reconnected with what I love about music and my passion with music.\n\nIt really suddenly came together and the record was done. It was like, oh and we have Little Machines. It came out of the blue, it really did. And within a month or two following, realizing all the songs were there we were in the studio finishing it and it was awesome. It’s taken me far and wide already. It’s actually been exactly a year since it came out.\n\nA year, wow. In light of this anniversary are you planning to release any acoustic versions?\n\nThat’s actually the next thing in the works and it’s all done. More details to be announced but it’s such an awesome EP. It’s a spin-off of “Little Machines” with a couple of unreleased tracks as well that were written for “Little Machines” but didn’t end up coming out. It’s very special, you’re going to love it.\n\nI happen to have a ton of favourites from that record and actually my relationship is kind of tied in to some of your music. How does it feel to have people affected by your music in everyday life?\n\nThat’s so good, that’s the whole point. That’s amazing, that’s the power of music. It kind of makes me feel like were all the same. Because when I sit down to write a song, I’m writing it for that reason. Like when I wrote “Up We Go,” it was from a really hard time and I was trying to remind myself that things only get better and that things always go up. After dark days, there are always brighter ones. I needed to hear that and every time I sing that back it does the same thing for me. So it does remind me that I’m on the same page as everyone else.", null, null, "Has motherhood changed your music and your writing?\n\nEverything is pretty different but it’s all still my life as it moves along. I do get asked a lot how parenthood has affected my music and no one’s going to know until the next record comes out. Because I wrote all of “Little Machines” before I had a baby and there’s no way to know what you’re in for even when you’re pregnant. I was still writing about the same stuff. I mean, I remember sitting down thinking, you know, I’m going to get asked about this so I should probably write a song about being a mom. I tried writing a song about being a mother and it was just really cheesy, so I just stuck to what I knew and wrote the way I had always written.\n\nNow I’m writing a lot and I’m very inspired and I think that would be the change. Being a parent really frees your mind, in terms of creativity. You’re less afraid about all the little things you used to be afraid of. You can fearlessly go into territory that you weren’t in before because nothing is as hard as childbirth. Everything is easy from here on out.\n\nHow has your music evolved since your first album?\n\nThe first record is very personal, deals with a lot of emotional stuff I was going through like depression and those kinds of things. The second album was kind of about falling in love for the first time, pushing sonic boundaries and seeing where I could go that I’d never been before in music. And this third one was all about making a classic electronic record with good song writing and a good mix of live instrumentation and analog synths and really cool sounds. Creating soundscapes that put you in another place, testing the theory of escapism when it comes to music.", null, "Do you have a favourite song from one of those albums?\n\n“Up We Go” is one of my favourites to play live. It’s so fun! It has such a vibe and it’s such an uplifting moment. Everyone gets into it and sings and you really believe it. One of my favourite songs I’ve ever written is actually one of the unreleased ones that’s coming out on our “Little Machines” spin. I can’t wait for people to hear it. It’s called “Follow You Down.” That’s the first time anyone’s ever heard that title, just right now.", null, "That’s an exciting exclusive! You’re playing an acoustic performance as a unique experience for your fans that have supported MusiCounts. What are you planning to play tonight?\n\nPlanning to do half an hour of acoustic stuff, stripped down songs from all the albums. Maybe two to three from each record and maybe a cover. It will be myself and Brody and you know just talking to people and it’s like that intimate campfire vibe. That’s the best kind of show, it’s so fun, you can tell stories.", null, null, "Before we let you go, what do you have coming up next?\n\nYes! We have our big U.S. tour coming up. It’s a co-headliner with the Mowgli’s and it’s going to be one and a half months out on the road until December. So that’s our next big endeavor, is writing and touring.", null, "Performance photos by Brandon Artis Photography. Connect with Brandon on Instagram at @_brandonartis." ]

[ "The Dwarves is a story-driven fantasy RPG from developer KING Art Games and publisher THQ Nordic. This release was funded on Kickstarter in Fall 2015, and it was released a year later after raising over $310,000. Did the game deliver on its promises? Come read our The Dwarves review to find out!\n\n\nThe Dwarves is based on a series of books by a German author called Markus Heitz. KING Art Games have adapted the books into a game, and they did it incredibly well. If this video game adaptation does well, our odds of getting a sequel are good considering there are several more books from which they can draw some material.", null, "As for this one, you play as an orphan dwarf named Tungdil who has been raised by humans. After some of the magi, the people who maintain the balance and keep away any evil, are killed by another magi, the land is in disarray. It falls to Tungdil to venture out into lands of Girdlegard to try and save everything before it is too late.\n\nDuring his journey, he meets other characters who will become his companions – a very interesting group of characters! You will, for example, meet Boindil and Boendal, twins who are funny and very entertaining. You will also meet characters from other races. Let’s just say that your meeting with the elves is something you won’t forget!", null, "The game is presented from an isometric view. You can change the camera angles, but at times I found the camera angles felt at odds with the gameplay. I kept thinking at specific points about how having a third person view might have helped the game during some battles. Mind you, this was certainly not a deal-breaker as I kept going on, completing each of the scenarios I ran into.\n\nOne of the main gameplay mechanics for this one is that you must alternate between characters during combat as the AI is only capable of pulling off basic attacks. Switching over frequently to use stronger attacks is a must, so you better get used to it! An important thing to remember is that if any of your party members dies, then it is game over.\n\nBattles will ensue in quick succession, and healing items are tough to find during your adventure – yes, even on the easiest of settings! KING Art Games are not exactly known for creating easy games. Remember Battle World Kronos? A seriously hard but fun game with a mighty challenge. Well, The Dwarves follows in that tradition. Speaking of difficulty settings, the only real difference between them is that the higher you go, the quicker your death will come!", null, "Some battles will have objectives like kill X number of enemies or require that you kill a particular enemy. The extra objectives are nice since it gives you something to aim for. As for the battles, all of your characters have special attacks, so be sure to use them as needed in order to overcome obstacles. Timing is important.\n\nBattling huge hordes in this game can be a bit frustrating since, if you’re not careful, you can easily be overwhelmed. Button mashing is not something you can do in this one! This is why you should make the most of your skills to escape from large groups to briefly catch your breath.", null, "You can travel to locations on the map and visit inns, buy stuff from merchants and talk to NPCs which will open up new dialog options. Travelling will use up your provisions, so you can’t just move around all over the place without consequence.\n\nMeeting other NPCs and talking to them can lead to side quests, and there are plenty of them to enjoy in this one. And something else to consider is that while you talk with other characters, you’ll have several options for your answers. You have to be careful with what you pick since the wrong answer can lead to instant death – something I learned the hard way!", null, "The Dwarves is a big game with a lot of content to offer, but it is not without some issues. KING Art Games is currently hard at work on a patch for the game to fix some stuff such as screen tearing – this is only minor and occurs when there is a lot happening on the screen at once.\n\nThe story, however, is fantastic and well written. This is a massive game with a ton of content to enjoy – and you can almost double your time with the game if you aim to get its Platinum trophy. Kudos to KING ART Games and THQ Nordic for all the work that went into the adaptation of The Dwarves for PS4 as they’ve given us a very entertaining release. Here’s hoping we get a sequel next year!", null, "Disclaimer\nThis The Dwarves review is based on a PS4 copy provided by THQ Nordic.\n\nFree The King Of Fighters XIV Athena Costume Out Now" ]

[ null, "The double-header, that has taken Formula 1 back to the Far East after a two year Covid-19 imposed break, concludes this weekend with the Japanese Grand Prix, the 33rd to count towards the World Championship. It takes place at Suzuka circuit, a favourite with all the drivers, featuring its famous figure-of-eight layout.\n\nFormidable and fabulous. Since it first appeared on the calendar in 1987, Suzuka carved out a reputation as one of the most formidable but also exhilarating tracks. Many of its corners are the stuff of legend, contributing to some of the most exciting moments in this sport. The track was designed in 1962, by Dutchman Johannes “Hans” Hugenholtz (known in the racing world as John Hugenholtz), its key feature being a figure-of-eight layout. From a technical viewpoint, it is definitely one of the tracks that calls for a high level of aerodynamic efficiency. It has significant elevation changes and high speed sections mixed in with trickier parts such as the chicane that leads onto the main straight. The other key areas are the first part with a succession of rapid esses and Spoon Curve, a semi-circular constant radius hairpin with negative camber. The final sector is very quick, featuring the famous 130R, a very quick corner leading onto the final chicane, where an overtake is risky and only possible if everything is done perfectly.\n\nSetup. When it comes to setting up the car, a compromise is required to achieve the right level of aero downforce to deliver a car that is quick, stable and driveable. Suzuka is a medium downforce circuit, with car balance critical for the fastest corners. The moveable rear wing (DRS) is particularly useful on the one part of the track where it can be used, the relatively short main straight. There are four hard braking points, the most demanding being at the entry to the final chicane.\n\nEngine and fuel consumption. As for the power unit, the Japanese track is pretty demanding for the internal combustion engine, which is run at maximum for over 70% of the lap, while the hybrid part also plays a very important role. While the downforce level is medium, fuel consumption can also be rather critical.\n\nProgramme. The cars take to the track on Friday at 12 local (5 CEST) for the first hour of free practice and then at 15 (8 CEST) for the second one, which will run for 90 minutes to give teams the chance to test 2023 Pirelli tyres. The final free practice takes place on Saturday at 12 (5 CEST) in preparation for qualifying at 15 (8 CET). The race gets underway on Sunday at 14 (7 CET).\n\n1. How did your journey with Ferrari begin? Where does your passion for motorsport come from?\n\"My journey with Ferrari started back in 2016, although I guess you could say it’s been in the making for a lot longer than that. I’ve always been passionate about engineering and cars, so after finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree in Spain I moved to Germany where there is a bigger tradition in car manufacturing and therefore more engineering opportunities. After some years in the road car industry, I was fortunate enough to be able to take the step into Formula 1 with Sauber. After an intense period in Switzerland, I was given the option to move to Italy to work for the biggest name in the business, and the decision was more than clear\".\n\n2. What is the Suzuka track like from a tyre point of view?\n\"It’s a very high energy track, characterised by its high speed sections with frequent changes of direction. It is an anomaly in the season in terms of left-to-right energy distribution, being the most symmetric track of the year (with as much energy turning left as you have turning right). Due to the high energy content, Pirelli brings the three hardest compounds available (C1/C2/C3), which is actually the least common combination, only used at five races, with Japan being the last of them. Tyre wear rates are on the high side, because of the long combined corners, while the track abrasion level is typically on the medium to high side. The combination of all these factors, along with the unpredictable weather, makes Suzuka an intense test for every aspect of tyre management\".\n\n3. How do you approach the Japanese GP in terms of tyre management?\n\"As with other high energy tracks, such as Spain, Silverstone or Holland, it will be important to get the right balance between warm-up over one lap and avoiding overstressing the tyres on the long runs, which always requires some compromises between Qualifying and the race. The FP2 long runs will also be of critical importance, as they provide the best chance to collect data needed for tyre race management. This helps us give indications to the drivers and always plays a critical role in deciding on the best target strategy. On this topic, the reduced amount of free practice time introduced this year poses some challenges, which we are overcoming through ever more accurate pre-event simulation preparation\".\n\n17. The furthest back on the grid from which the Japanese Grand Prix has been won. It happened in 2005 courtesy of Kimi Räikkönen in his McLaren at Suzuka. The Finn’s race is also the best climb up the order to end with a podium finish.\n\n23. The average number of people per vending machine (predominantly for drinks). There are five million of them in Japan, operating 24 hours per day, well lit with items competitively priced.\n\n24. The average number of overtakes in the Japanese Grand Prix. The race has nearly always been exciting with a lot of overtaking, with no fewer than 65 passes in 1988 for example: 14 of those were down to Ayrton Senna who nearly stalled at the start from pole position, but then clawed his way up the order to take an amazing win. There have also been some dull races, such as the 2001 edition, when Michael Schumacher won for Ferrari, when there was only one change of position. In 2000 there were three, when the German won his first Drivers’ title with the Scuderia.\n\n2500. The number of people who, at the same time during the rush hour, use the world’s most famous pedestrian crossing at Shibuya in Tokyo. Pedestrians are given 55 seconds to cross.\n\n6582. The number of islands that make up Japan of which 260 are uninhabited. It is the largest country in the Far East made up of islands, the fourth largest in the world. The biggest islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyoshu.\n\nFerrari is still coming to terms with the terrible crash at Modena: in the Maranello marque’s home race, a dangerous move from Franco Cortese in the 159 S, sent Giovanni Bracco’s Delage ploughing through the crowd leaving several dead. So it is a last minute decision to take part in the Gran Premio di Torino, entering a 159 S for Raymond Sommer, who already drove for the team before the war. Ferrari is up against a strong field in Turin, starting with French constructors, Delage, Delahaye and Talbot, with engines ranging in size from 3600cc to 4500cc. Ferrari runs a two litre Tipo 159 S Competizione engine and only arrives at the event at the last moment, setting the seventh fastest time in pouring rain. However the car is well set up and the results are not long in coming. On race day, the Maseratis are out after just ten laps and after 30, Sommer has lapped the entire field and is heading for a certain win. The race last four and a half hours and Enzo Ferrari is thrilled with the Frenchman, who finishes ahead of Eugene Chaboud in a Delahaye and Charles Pozzi in a Talbot, the latter later becoming the Ferrari importer in France. Sommer, known as the “Boar of the Ardennes” because of his aggression at the wheel and his cantankerous nature, is so enthusiastic about the technical qualities of his Ferrari that, after the win in Turin, he comes to Maranello and buys himself a road car." ]

James\nThis Study Guide consists of approximately 62 pages of chapter summaries, quotes, character analysis, themes, and more - everything you need to sharpen your knowledge of Death of an Expert Witness.\n\nDeath of an Expert Witness Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:\n\nThis detailed literature summary also contains Related Titles and a Free Quiz on Death of an Expert Witness by P. D. James.\n\nDeath of an Expert Witness by P. D. James takes place in Chevisham, England, sometime in the late twentieth century. Dr. Edwin Lorrimer (the \"expert witness\") is murdered in his workspace at Hoggatt's Lab, a forensic crime lab. Further on in the book, a middle-aged woman, Stella Mawson, is also murdered by the same man, Dr. Kerrison. Commander Adam Dalgliesh, a Scotland Yard Detective, using the few clues available, must eliminate numerous persons with the motive to kill Lorrimer to finally bag his man.\n\nScotland Yard is called in on the murder because of the conflict of interest. Because Dr. Lorrimer is not well-liked and is even hated by some, the list of those Lorrimer has insulted or alienated is quite long, although several, such as Kerrison, Bradley, Mawson, and Howarth particularly hate Lorrimer. One must add to the fact that many of the potential suspects are either police officers or forensic scientists, and the difficulty of solving the crime is greatly increased as these types of professionals know everything about criminal investigations and thus would leave very few clues or evidence. It takes painstaking work to gather the paucity of clues and fit them together to pin the murders on Dr. Kerrison, a seemingly gentle, kind man who would be incapable of murder. Kerrison, though, is as ferocious as a mother bear protecting her cubs when he feels his children are threatened by Dr. Lorrimer's intent to inform Kerrison's ex-wife of Kerrison's affair with Domenica Schofield.\n\nThere are several very minor subplots that run through the main story—one is that of Angela Foley and Stella Mawson needing the money to purchase the cottage in which they live. Another subplot is the relationship between Inspector Doyle and his wife, who wants him to quit police work and move to the city and work in her father's business. A third sub-plot is the life and relationships of Domenica Schofield.\n\nDeath of an Expert Witness from Gale. ©2005-2006 Thomson Gale, a part of the Thomson Corporation. All rights reserved." ]

[ "If she manages to hobble on, British PM Theresa May will face an economy in a delicate state, even before we start talking about Brexit.

This depends of course to a large extent on the type of government arrangement that emerges in the coming days, but certain parameters are unlikely to change very much.\n\nThe Tories (aka Conservative Party) have said they want to balance the books by 2025, a full decade after its initial deadline to eliminate the deficit under May's predecessor David Cameron.\n\nThis extension - some might say tacit admission of failure - would obviously allow for higher borrowing - and thus spending - levels to support the economy in the run-up to Brexit should - or rather when - they will be needed.", null, "So, is Keynes making a comeback?\n\nThe US economist Joseph Stiglitz has been arguing for some time for a return to some form of Keynesian approach.\n\n\"Austerity has not only damaged the European economies, including the UK, but actually threatens future growth,\" he wrote.\n\n\"Like Continental Europe, there is an acceptance of the need to focus on growth,\" Linda Yueh, Adjunct Professor of Economics, London Business School, told DW..\n\n\"The challenge will be how much of the new government's focus will be on it - versus the negotiations around Brexit, which will surely dominate the policy agenda for at least the next two years,” she added.\n\nThe economist and academic Will Hutton agrees. \"I think the chances of Keynesian policies are both quite high,” he told DW.\n\n\"Keynesian policies will be organized around borrowing for infrastructure investment and there is widespread recognition - even in the capital markets - that this makes economic sense,” he added.\n\n\"Both Labour and Conservative are influenced by the German model,\" Hutton said. \"May should be regarded as a right-of-center Christian Democrat pursuing light Mitbistimmung policies (consultation with labor forces), plus reinforcing a British variant of Fraunhofer Institutes. Labour is more overtly enthusiastic about developing regional banking structures to support the Mittelstand, along with giving unions a role and voice in enterprise along German lines.\"\n\n\"The paradox is that as Britain moves to leave the EU, its main parties are moving more overtly to copy critical elements of the German social market economy – without acknowledging their debt,” he added.\n\nThe UK economy - from hero to zero\n\nBefore the Brexit vote last June, the UK economy was doing reasonable well, outgrowing Germany, Japan and the US and initially held up better than expected in the months after, as consumer spending - the perennial mainstay of the UK economy - kept chugging away, mainly financed - again as ever - on the \"never never\" (credit).\n\nMany forecasts of immediate economic disaster if the UK voted to leave the EU were proved wrong, failing to take into account possible compensatory action by the Bank of England (BoF) after the vote.\n\nThe BoE in fact took steps to boost the economy, cutting interest rates from 0.5 percent to 0.25 percent in August - the first reduction in the cost of borrowing since 2009 - taking rates to a new record low.\n\nBut alas it was not to last. In the first three months of 2017, the UK's was the co-worst-performing advanced economy, with growth of 0.2 percent and although economists offer competing data, there are signs of a deterioration in 2017, with inflation inching up thanks to the slump in the pound making imports more expensive. Price rises are now outpacing wages, according to the latest Office for National Statistics data and this could see consumers reining in spending.\n\nIn 2017, businesses will also hold back on investment decisions because of uncertainty about Brexit, according to the majority of economists in an annual Financial Times survey. The economists now expect growth to slow, from about 2.1 percent in 2016 to no more than 1.5 percent in 2017.\n\nThe PWC UK Economic Outlook report in March said UK growth is projected to slow to around 1.6 percent in 2017 and 1.4 percent in 2018 due to slower consumer spending growth and the drag on business investment from Brexit-related uncertainty.\n\nOxford Economics economist, Martin Beck, has argued that there are signs the impact of the vote for Brexit may finally be starting to filter into the habits of British consumers. Many others think unemployment will rise as businesses try to restrain costs in the face of uncertainty about the UK's future outside the EU, which is also expected to depress business investment. These pressures will in turn hold back consumer spending.", null, "The plight of the UK economy has long been dominated by a central issue of under-production - the imaginatively named 'production puzzle.'\n\nOver the post-war period both Labour and Conservative governments have sought to increase it, and failed. Mass immigration, lower wages, supply side reforms, weakening trade union activity, privatization and changes in employment rights, a brief period of social-democratic Tripartism in the 1970s - all failed.\n\n\"The UK's main long-term structural problem is also found in other major economies like the US and Germany, which is low wages,” Yueh said. \"This has different causes in different countries, but is part of a general trend in developed nations. The UK has a particularly worrying case, which requires a much stronger focus on raising productivity and investing to grow the economy,\" she said.\n\nSeveral structural problems other than productivity also bedevil the UK economy - weak business investment perhaps the top of the list.\n\nCapital spending as a share of GDP has fallen from 20 percent in 2007 to under 15 percent today. The commercial banking system is reluctant to finance expansion plans of many small and medium-sized businesses and this has a knock in terms of low Research and Development funding, which is at under 2 percent of GDP.\n\nWhile there has been a fall in UK unemployment - currently 5.7 percent - structural problems remain, with over 30 percent of unemployed out of work for at least a year, high youth unemployment and very wide regional variations.\n\nThe UK economy has seen a structural decline in manufacturing and continues to reply on financial services.\n\nIn trade, Britain runs a consistent and structural trade deficit and export growth in the recovery has been disappointing despite the UK enjoying a more competitive exchange rate. The pound fell dramatically after the Brexit vote last year, and since then has been trading around 15 percent lower compared to the dollar and 12 percent lower compared to the euro than it was before the referendum.\n\nThere is also a structural fiscal deficit, with the cyclically-adjusted budget deficit above 5 percent of GDP.\n\nStructural under-funding of public services, with some economists arguing the NHS needs a major injection of extra funding over the next 5-10 years.\n\nAs Larry Elliott in the Guardian argues, these longstanding problems - \"a hollowing out of manufacturing, overreliance on the City, a large and growing trade deficit, big regional differentials in productivity\" - have been given a political manifestation by Brexit. There was, he argues, a strong link between voting patterns and the health of the local economy.\n\nOh - and then there is Brexit\n\n\"The World Bank believes that if Britain switches from single market membership to trading with the EU on World Trade Organisation terms – the 'no deal' option – then British trade in goods with the EU will halve and trade in services will fall by 60 percent as these effects work through,\" Hutton wrote in the Guardian recently.\n\nBritain will also have to renegotiate 759 agreements with 168 countries that are now held by the EU. \"That is 759 opportunities for other countries, knowing our plight, to try to negotiate something better. Britain has to find solutions to all these issues in less than 12 months,\" Hutton argues.\n\n\"The Conservative manifesto commitment to leave the single market and customs union and seek a trade relationship outside any of the EU's frameworks - not the EEA or even Efta - is a declaration of economic war upon ourselves,\" Hutton wrote.\n\n\"There is no corner of British economic life that does not face disruption bleeding into mayhem as a consequence of no deal. The politician who declares that no deal is better than a bad deal is either supremely ignorant – or lying.\"\n\nThere are hints that Brexit uncertainty is already hitting business confidence.\n\nThe clearing of financial instruments is a key sector that could face obliteration. Clearing-houses - which are central to securities or derivatives transactions ensuring that deals are honored - could do a London post-Brexit exit.\n\nIn November a study commissioned by the London Stock Exchange (LSE) warned that if euro clearing was forced out of the City, 83,000 British jobs could be lost, and a further 232,000 affected.\n\nOn May 4th the European Commission said it was looking into new rules for euro-denominated clearing.\n\nBy 2016, 62 percent of the $544 trillion (about 490 trillion euros) global over-the-counter derivatives market was settled in this way and London handles 37 percent of foreign-exchange derivatives globally and 39 percent of interest-rate derivatives.", null, "Brexit means Brexit. Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May does her own version of Brexit, with her husband Philip after voting in Maidenhead.\n\nElliott argued that one benefit of Brexit, meanwhile, is that it could allow the economy to be rebooted.\n\n\"The last time UK policymakers had the chance to implement root and branch cures to the economy's structural weaknesses was during the financial and economic crisis of 2008-09. Instead they bottled it, relying almost wholly on the Bank of England to support activity through interest rate cuts and the money-creation program known as quantitative easing (QE),\" he wrote.\n\n\"Real structural reform goes deeper and requires something that has typically been in short supply in Britain: patience,” Elliott argues.\n\nThe governing Conservative Party's once huge poll lead has narrowed again in a new poll. With a week before the UK election, Labour seems to have the momentum, while PM Theresa May's aloof style is putting off voters.

[ null, "At this point, the amount of ink spilled about Darkthrone’s A Blaze in the Northern Sky could probably turn the North Sea black. It is one of black metal’s most cited, praised and parroted milestones. To some readers, this could make yet another article about the record seem tiresome. But like many other “classics,” there are many reasons why it’s worth poring over once again. They’re the same reasons Decibel placed the album third in it’s ranking of the best black metal albums of all time, and why we ran a Hall of Fame Issue about it back in 2007.\n\nIt was the first black metal album I ever owned. And when I purchased it back in the summer of 2004, I didn’t know what to make of it. The raw production, the fast-pounding drums, the buzz-saw guitars – what was this music? Remember, the template for pure black metal may seem very set and predictable in our minds now. But for people outside of our little ivory tower of extreme metal, music like this is still genuinely bewildering and even a little scary.\n\nA Blaze in the Northern Sky is special for a few reasons. First, it’s a perfect example of a band who shows their influences without ripping them off. Second, it presents the new listener with the same challenge it gave all audiences upon its release in 1992 (along with Immortal’s Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism and Burzum’s self-titled release). The cold, raw and abrasive darkness isn’t for everyone, but is genuinely rewarding and worth countless new listens once your ears become acclimated. Finally, its immeasurable influence on future black metal acts shows it’s power to stir the imagination and inspire others to create their own versions of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto’s vision (including album art). Though Bathory’s Blood Fire Death and Samael’s Worship Him pointed in a similar direction, A Blaze in the Northern Sky is the original, definitive statement of 2nd-wave black metal.\n\nSo with that in mind, here are my rankings of the album’s six tracks:\n\n6. A Blaze in the Northern Sky\n\nMuch of the album was actually written as a death metal release, in the spirit of the band’s debut, Soulside Journey and the un-released follow-up Goatlord. So in order to adjust (possibly at the urging, tacit or explicit, of Mayhem’s Euronymous) the sound into the emerging black metal style, Nocturno Culto had to change his guitar sound to something more like that of Bathory’s Under the Sign of the Black Mark and Fenriz changed his drumming to a more punchy, straightforward Celtic Frost sound. The mixture is intoxicating, but works out better in some places than in others. The title track is the weakest example of this. Though it fits perfectly on the album, it’s the last track I’d choose to listen to just for its own sake (though there is cowbell! It does have that going for it!).\n\nThe album’s closer is one of three songs (along with “Where Cold Winds Blow” and “In the Shadow of the Horns”) written as “pure black metal” without any leftover death metal riffs. The song invokes a feeling of mystery and wandering that acts as a perfect closer to an album rife with these themes. Shouts of “eternal winter!!!” would sound cheesy and cliche today, but when mouthed by Nocturno Culto here are deadly serious.\n\nWhen talking about the album in the documentary accompanying its special re-release, Fenriz talked about how he needed to “smash the riffs” with primitive-sounding drum beats. This was to turn otherwise orthodox death metal chord progressions into cold and menacing black metal. The album’s opener is a good example of this. Listen closely to the riffs, then imagine drumming more akin to Soulside applied to them.\n\nThe song that sets the template for every garden-variety black metal band to come since. “Where Cold Winds Blow” has everything you’d want in a black metal song: parts that flow, others than punish; tortured screams; heroic and violent lyrics. The dissonant main riff is unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. It’s one of those few riffs that lead your mind somewhere beyond “sick riff dude!!!” (not that there’s anything wrong with that).\n\nThe same is true of the death metal riffs present on this classic. More than any other song on the album, this is where the death metal/black metal mixture really works. The song has more catchy, original-sounding riffs packed in it’s 5:24 lifespan than most bands fill hours worth of music with during their entire career.\n\n1. In the Shadow of the Horns\n\nWell. What can I say? The first song to resonate with my then untrained mind, “In the Shadow of the Horns” is not just an easy choice, it’s the right choice. It’s one of the only songs, along with “Under a Funeral Moon” and “Transilvanian Hunger” that Darkthrone played live at it’s one-off gig in 1996. It’s brilliance rests in its mis-hearing of the Celtic Frost classic, “Return to the Eve.” The same drums and riff-structures are present here, but Darkthrone gives them that extra share of coldness to make them their own. Everything comes together so well here, including the lyrics, that it stands alongside “Freezing Moon,” “I Am the Black Wizards” and others as a timeless black metal classic." ]

Engel, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was following Jamaal Bowman, a Yonkers insurgent candidate.\n\nIf Mr. Engel, who has served in Congress for more than 30 years, were to lose, he would echo a similar malaise in 2018, when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated Joseph Crowley, then House No. 4 Democrat.\n\nBut this year, the movement seemed to be broader as progressive Democrats led the way in contests for two open seats in the retired House of Democrats.\n\nIn the Bronx, Ritchie Torres, city councilman, led a group of contenders in the 15th Congressional District, where Representative José E. Serrano is retiring. Those who followed Mr. Torres included a veteran politician, Rubén Díaz Sr., a former conservative state senator with a history of anti-gay comments, who had been considered among the favorites.\n\nAnd in the Hudson Valley district, held by Representative Nita Lowey, who is also retiring, Mondaire Jones, a Harvard-educated attorney, had drifted away from six other candidates in early returns.\n\nJones and Torres would become pioneers if elected in November: anyone would be the first openly gay black member of Congress.\n\nAll of Tuesday’s results came with a considerable caveat: State officials had cast nearly two million ballots in absentia to voters statewide due to the coronavirus outbreak, and those votes, which could be postmarked as late as Primary, they would not be fully counted for at least a week.\n\nThat means closed races can remain in limbo until July. One of those close races involves another veteran Democratic starter, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who was in a tight race with Suraj Patel, who ran against her in 2018.\n\nStill, early returns seemed to confirm that the liberal wave that elected Ms. Ocasio-Cortez for Congress in 2018 has continued to build momentum.\n\nMs. Ocasio-Cortez had faced a primary challenge herself, but she easily brushed it aside, even when like-minded candidates, encompassing her call for a New Green Agreement and Medicaid for All, among other policies, they showed electoral strength.\n\nThat strength was perhaps most evident in the 16th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, and where Mr. Bowman had a great advantage over Mr. Engel, who was first elected there in 1988 .\n\nThe run there had illustrated the sharp schism in the Democratic ranks, with Mr. Bowman backed by many of the more outspoken progressives of the Democrats and Mr. Engel, fighting for his political life, seeking the rescue of more centrist party leaders. such as President Nancy Pelosi, former Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, and Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.\n\nIn a speech to supporters Tuesday night, Mr. Bowman, a high school principal, spoke out against poverty, racism, and sexism, among other social ills, “a system that is literally killing us.” . He said that, if elected, he would be a “black man with power.”\n\n“That is what Donald Trump fears,” Bowman said, adding: “I can’t wait to get to Congress and cause trouble.”\n\nSettlement Democrats could take comfort in easy wins for multiple incumbents, including Representative Gregory Meeks, chairman of the Queens Democratic Party. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, had a comfortable lead over two contenders, and Rep. Yvette Clarke also led her career in Brooklyn, though, as elsewhere, thousands of votes remained to be counted. absence.\n\nIn fact, the sheer number of absentee ballots could be daunting for election officials, especially given the battles over vote-counting even before the coronavirus, such as last year’s disputed election for the district attorney in Queens.

The College of Drugs, like most medical schools across the nation, doesn’t allow international college students until beneficial by a college of the college and accepted by the Dean under very special circumstances.\n\nIn Myanmar , admission to medical faculties is organized below the Division of Health Science, which is the department of Ministry of Well being and Sport of Myanmar. One other benefit is that admission is easier than US faculties. The faculties put an awesome emphasis on students’ languages (each Chinese and English ) and communication abilities as they should talk with other health care professionals and sufferers or their families in the future.\n\nSome colleges even deny an interview if the applicant can’t present sufficient activities on the applying.

Murder, conspiracy, supernatural horror, and real-life terror are stains on the cutting room floor where Edmonton-based group Tales of The Tomb paints their canvas. Unified by the desire to have the grotesque power of 90’s era death and murder metal, Tales of The Tomb started as a thought that grew into an insatiable need to make extreme music.”\n\nIt seemed sensible to begin this introduction with the band’s own introduction to their genesis and inspirations. Originally formed in 2013 by guitarist/vocalist Corey Skerlak as a vehicle for carrying forward the kind of murder metal associated with Macabre, the band grew and reached the point of releasing their 2015 debut EP, Volume One: Morpras. Now the band have completed work on a second EP, Volume Two: Mendacium, which will be released on September 27th. As its title suggests, the EP concerns deception practiced in the context of destructive real-world events — “a collection of narratives surrounding government cover-ups, national lies and the heinous crimes committed amongst the shadows”.\n\nOne of those real-world events, and the ravaging warfare that followed it, are the subjects of the lyric video we’re premiering today for one of the songs on the new EP: “Nine Eleven“.", null, "The band tell us this about the song, and the EP as a whole:\n\n“This EP is an important installment that embodies the fundamentals of the band — Reality is more horrifying than fiction. This is a concept EP based on the Latin word Mendacium — meaning untruth and or to be lied to. The first single ‘Nine Eleven‘ is just that — presenting a version of tragic historical events from various angles and the alleged truths that were presented. The intention of each song is to unmask the deception forced upon the masses pushing them to challenge their own perception of reality.”\n\nWhatever you might think of the conspiratorial slant placed on the 9/11 attack and the (proven) lies that led the U.S. into the protracted Iraq War beginning in 2003, the song itself is a brutal but thoroughly electrifying piece of work, a death metal onslaught that’s packed with ripping and boiling riffs, neck-cracking drumwork, and deep, gruesome roars. The music jolts and jabs as much as it seethes and slashes, as the band work pile-driving grooves and punchy fretwork into the mayhem. They also create moments of gloom and misery within the barbarous frenzies, and the song also includes a pair of superheated solos that will open your eyes.\n\nVolume Two: Mendacium was mixed and mastered by Cryptopsy guitarist and Head Engineer/Owner at The Grid Studios, Christian Donaldson. The EP also contains a bonus track about the Japanese horror film Mermaid in a Manhole, and it features artwork by Tony Midi of Tonymidi Artworks. It’s available for purchase now." ]

This first-person futuristic and dynamic shooter is also available for PC. With the start of the game, teams, one of which stands for terrorists and the other one for counter-terrorists, are formed into pairs for a match. Their task is to eliminate the rival group. A round ends when one team liquidates another one or finishes its goal.\n\nESports bets on CS:GO require a bettor to have a good understanding of the teams’ capabilities and the players’ skills. The key decision could be the choice of a team whose positions seem more fragile than those of other teams. Do you want to try other popular games? Then cool game Outlast 3 might seem interesting to you.\n\nNumber two on the list of favorite eSports betting games is League of Legends. Here, as in CS:GO, players are formed into teams. Summoner's Rift is the basic model for bettors to place their bets. Each team includes champions who are developing their magical and combat abilities during the gaming process. The goal of the game is to smash the enemies and destroy their main building, the Nexus.\n\nLeague of Legends is one of the most popular eSports games for betting since due to a set of unique characters it is distinguished by a variety of booking lines.

The one that will destroy the main base of the enemy first – wins. Today, almost all bookmakers offer eSports bets on Dota 2, because the game has been on the market since 2009. In addition, Dota tournaments winners receive the biggest cash prizes among all competitions.\n\nWorld of Tanks is a multiplayer real-time online game in the genre of arcade tank simulator based on the World War II tank battles. The game was developed by a Belarusian company Wargaming.net. World of Tanks is positioned as an action with elements of a role-playing game, shooter and strategy. The number of its players has been growing in proportion to the number of people who bet on this game. According to the World of Tanks’ plot, you need to destroy the enemy tanks. Moreover, a player can capture the flags and positions of the enemy, which may also be subject to betting.\n\nThis card fantasy game ranks fifth among the most popular games for betting. Hearthstone has one-to-one sessions, where each player chooses a character and a deck that improves this particular character. The goal of the game is to reduce the enemy’s health to zero. Tips for eSports bets: in tournaments, players often build four regular decks, block one of the opponents, and then continue the game until one of the players loses his deck.\n\nThe sixth position belongs to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

As for eSports bets, handicap (points difference) is the most popular bet type for this game. Are you also fond of sequels? Then familiarize yourself with all rules in Portal 3.\n\nThe eSports competition community was formed in order to create a unique competition among players of all ages. Leagues are formed with the aim of identifying the best players who sometimes have been striving for years to achieve such a level of professionalism. Groups of supervising experts are formed from the associations of the most talented players, and some of the eSports tournaments have huge prize pools (amounted to millions of dollars).\n\nThe International 2017 Dota 2 tournament has had the largest prize pool in the history of eSports – $24.7 million\n\nThe most popular eSports tournaments are Battle.net World Championship Series (BlizzCon) for Starcraft; Dreamhack (the world's largest eSports festival, includes the most popular games); Electronic Sports League; Electronic Sports World Cup, European Gaming League (competition for the UK and Europe), European Gaming League (the biggest US competition in the shooter genre); Intel Extreme Masters (world tournament), Global Starcraft II League, International e-Sports Federation (world championships for official teams only), League of Legends World Championship, SMITE World Championship (flagship tournament with a million prize pool).

Although it differs in subject matter, the basic mechanical principles here remain generally accepted.\n\nThe main disadvantage of betting on the tournament winner is that you do not get profit from such competitions right away since it usually lasts for some time (days, weeks).\n\nA handicap bet is a more risky and certainly more interesting type of bets. The amount of winnings here depends on the success of the favorite chosen by the bettor. However, experts do not recommend using this betting type if the game does not have a clear favorite. You can also bet on the score in favor of a particular team.\n\nEsport betting: how to do this correctly\n\nEsports bets are in many ways very similar to bets on traditional sports. There are also teams that are very popular, or which are favorites in certain matches or tournaments. However, it is worth remembering that eSports competitions are less predictable and therefore riskier than traditional sports, so we recommend reading additional information from experts.\n\nIf we talk about foreign bookmakers, then Pinnacle is considered a proven one (it has an official representative office in Russia). You can bet via its website not only on the games from our top list but also on other less popular shooters and strategies. There is also an EGB site intended specifically for eSports bets. Here you can bet on tournaments and competitions in a live format, make express bets, as well as view betting odds charts.\n\nMany Russian bookmakers are less experienced in this field, which makes them more profitable for bettors (due to high betting odds for eSports). For example, Tennisi is one of the youngest bookies in Russia that has already earned a good reputation among its customers.", null, "How to deposit in order to make eSport bets?\n\nIt should be noted that eSports betting is very similar to traditional sports betting on the Internet.

Previously dominating national politics from 1929 to 2000—in what was effectively a one-party dictatorship—the PRI’s platform emphasizes free enterprise and the facilitation of private investment in an open, market-oriented economy. This archetypal neo-liberal ideology is, in classic PRI rhetoric, camouflaged by overtly nationalist sentiment. One of the clearest examples of such operative strategy was the party’s inauguration of the National Museum of Anthropology in 1964. An initiative of then-President Adolfo López Mateo, the Anthropology Museum brought together archaeological artifacts from pre-Columbian civilizations with an overt focus on Aztec mythologies. The architect for the project was Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, who also designed some of Mexico’s most prominent icons of national and corporate power structures. In his admittedly problematic discussion of this cultural apparatus of state violence titled “Critique of the Pyramid” (1968), Octavio Paz connects such atavistic fetishization of repression with the singular power of a charismatic but ruthless leader of modernization in Mexico, specifically in the 1968 massacre of peaceful revolutionaries in the Plaza of the Three Cultures in Tlatelolco. Paz further describes the museum’s informational and physical architecture by saying that its “exaltation of the Aztec period confirms and justifies what in appearance condemns the museum: the survival, the continuing strength, of the Aztec model of domination in our contemporary history.”\n\nThis symbolic perpetuation of pyramidal hierarchies of power and authoritarianism, an apologia for institutionalized violence, forms the basis for artist Eduardo Abaroa’s ongoing critical project The Total Destruction of the National Museum of Anthropology. First presented in 2012 at Kurimanzutto Gallery in Mexico City, this evolving inquiry proposes the demolition of the museum and its contents: ethnographic collections of pre-Hispanic works, memorabilia, gift shop, dioramas, and towering Modernist architecture included. Far from a terrorist act, Abaroa’s proposal is methodical—illustrated via a series of architectural schemata and engineering notation. His project, he posits, is a rational response to the state’s cynical attempts to harness the symbolic power of indigenous communities and their pre-Hispanic artifacts while simultaneously destroying the rights, livelihood, and national environment of their direct descendants.\n\nAn emotionally urgent yet fantastically hypothetical proposal, The Total Destruction of the Anthropology Museum extends Abaroa’s fascination with impossible projects that contend with the equally absurdist strictures of Mexico’s nation-state. In 1991 Abaroa proposed a fake gold chain that would wrap the country’s geographic perimeter. To complete this project would have cost over six million US dollars, an astronomic price that becomes miniscule when compared to the accumulative costs of NAFTA legislation for Mexico’s working class. Abaroa’s critique of nationalist ideologies extends to the role of cultural monuments and other so-called sacred sites of twentieth-century mourning and spectacle. A photograph of a sign from 2000 announcing the architectural restoration of the museum’s gallery was signed by the same president who cancelled the San Andrés Accords (agreements reached between the Zapatista National Liberation Army and Mexico’s federal government), and images of idyllic farming dioramas are paired with a text on the rise of cancer rates in indigenous communities because of increasing amounts of Erionite used in freeway construction. Notes on the Destruction of the Anthropology Museum (2014)—a series of silk-screened prints with Abaroa’s gathered material presented in the style of Vázquez’s quasi-promotional book on the project published by Panorama Editorial in 1968—detail micro-narratives of architecture, pedagogy, spectatorship, signage, corporate sponsorship, health, degradation, repair, power, and spectacle that underscore Abaroa’s proposal for destruction." ]

[ null, "In 23 months of global investigations into the murder of the journalistJamal Khashoggi, all paths seemed to lead to Saud al-Qahtani – the most influential aide of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.\n\nSaudi prosecutors, however, reached a starkly different conclusion on Monday, finding no evidence to link Qahtani to the gruesome killing inside the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, and insteadsentencing five lower-ranking members of a hit squad to death.\n\nThe ruling, made after an opaque series of hearings in Riyadh, on one hand distances the country’s heir to the throne from an event that shattered his international image and almost derailed his rise. But it will also renew criticism that the alleged masterminds of Khashoggi’s death remain protected by an unrepentant royal court, which has offered up as sacrifices a team of underlings who were following their orders.\n\nWhile not named in the Saudi investigation, Qahtani had featured prominently in inquiries led by the CIA, MI6 and Turkish officials, who had all connected that he had been in regular contact in the days before Khashoggi’s death with another senior official who was also freed by a court in Riyadh on Monday, Saudi Arabia’s deputy intelligence chief, Ahmed al-Asiri.\n\nAmerican officials also concluded that it was highly likely that Prince Mohammed himself had ordered the assassination, with Qahtani assembling, at his instruction, the – man team of hitmen who flew to Istanbul.\n\nQahtani had been with Prince Mohammed as he seized and consolidated his power from the time he was appointed deputy crown prince. He had been known across the country’s ruling elite as the powerful heir’s domestic fixer, and was given a particular brief to crack down on opponents, perceived or real.\n\nhotelin late 2019, Qahtani was present when some of those detained were interrogated and is alleged to have pressured some to sign over their assets. He was there again when at least two women who had campaigned for the right to drive were investigated after being imprisoned on charges of subverting the state.\n\nSilencing dissent, and empowering the crown prince, became Qahtani’s core responsibility. By the time of Khashoggi’s abduction and murder, he had become the most feared official inSaudi Arabia, a man who operated with little restraint and with the full protection of its quasi-ruler.\n\nAmerican officials told the New York Times that he played a prominent role in a “rapid intervention group” that forcibly repatriated Saudi dissidents from other countries. Those who were returned to the kingdom were sometimes drugged, human rights groups say. Many complained of psychological torture, while some others alleged physical abuse.\n\nHe also led a nascent team of cyberhackers who became central to the kingdom’s efforts to track its perceived enemies and their activities. Saudi Arabia’s capacity to operate in the digital space had been limited until it acquired software from theIsraeli technology company NSO, which allowed it to penetrate encrypted phones and computers and harvest their data. Regional officials have claimed that Asiri, who had risen to prominence in his role as spokesman for the kingdom’s war in Yemen, had been an interlocutor between Riyadh and Tel Aviv when the software, known as Pegasus, was acquired.\n\nAs pressure on Prince Mohammed mounted in the weeks following Khashoggi’s murder and dissection inside the Istanbul consulate, Qahtani was removed from his official positions and told to remain in a compound on the outskirts of Riyadh.\n\nIn November of 2017 the operation that led to the killing of Mr Khashoggi. ”\n\nBut despite this intelligence officials Washington and London believe that he remained influential in the crown prince’s inner circle, and continued to enjoy his full confidence. “The crown prince got the message quite recently that Qahtani was a liability to him,” said one senior western official earlier this month. “It was not something he wanted to hear.”\n\nAnd nor was it something that Prince Mohammed appeared ready to act on. The court case of the – member hit squad allegedly responsible for Khashoggi’s death had been prominent news in Saudi Arabia, where Qahtani’s ties to the royal court have been broadly discussed since the former journalist and Washington Post columnist’s murder. And at the time, there had been wide consensus that no Saudi court could afford to make a finding that brings the crime to the doorstep of the kingdom’s seat of power.\n\n“It is not a secret among his inner circle, or his friends, that he has been told to sit things out for a while and wait for it to blow over,” said a senior Saudi official in Riyadh. “Nothing has changed there, except no one sees him anymore. MbS [the crown prince] does not worry about Trump bothering him about human rights. Even if [Trump] says it, he doesn’t mean it. Things have changed. ”\n\nOver the past year, western officials have been trying to determine whether Qahtani in fact retains official titles, even while under house arrest. There have been persistent, though uncorroborated, suggestions that he remains active in the kingdom’s continuing cyber-operations activities, which are still an essential component of Prince Mohammed’s efforts to rein in dissent.\n\n“If he doesn’t have a formal role, he’s at least being consulted,” said one official. “What we are quite sure of is he’s living a good life. He’s been told to wait things out. ”", null, null ]

[ "The 2/9K22 Tunguska (Russian: 9К22 \"Тунгуска\"; NATO reporting name: SA-19 \"Grison\") is a Soviet Union/Russian-built self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle developed by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau in Tula. It has been in service since 1982 and saw combat in the South Ossetia War in 2008. The weapon system was designed to counter any variety of airborne threats, including the American A-10 Warthog, and is armed with eight 9M311-1M ground-to-air missiles and twin 30mm 2A38M autocannons.\n\nThe 2K22 Tunguska (referred to as tunguska in the game file) is the mobile anti-aircraft vehicle used by the Middle Eastern Coalition, the MEC Special Forces, the Spetsnaz, and the Rebel Forces. Its USMC/SEALs/SAS/EU and PLA counterparts are the Linebacker and the PGZ-95, respectively.\n\nThe 2K22 Tunguska's primary role is to destroy or suppress enemy air assets on the battlefield. It weapon system consists of a set of 2 dual-barrelled cannons as well as anti-aircraft missiles. Its armor is as tough as an IFV and consequently, it can take as much damage.\n\nIts 2 2A38M dual-barrelled cannons fire a large volume of explosive shells with a set deviation value of 0.25. These will overheat after continuous firing for around twenty seconds, and recover after four seconds. This means, with 2 full burst and the trigger is constantly held down, the player will find themselves empty of ammunition. If the player doesn't push the weapon too hard, one will be able to lay down a constant barrage of HE shells at enemies. However, the vehicle has a very bad gun depression, much worse than the Linebacker, making road-killing or trying to back up and firing at the same time the only viable option for nearby infantry. The 2K22 Tunguska is arguably the worst mobile air-defense vehicle to deal with nearby infantry because not only the gun depression presents a problem, its camera is placed at a very inconvenient location, and the player will find themselves being blocked by the J-band tracking radar in front of the turret very often when engaging ground-level targets, including even vehicles, further limiting its ground-attacking capabilities.\n\nVersus vehicles, aircraft of all types are very vulnerable to the 2A38M's shells, and if the player is accurate enough, they will find themselves able to shoot down aircraft even without using missiles. The shells also deal decent damage against light vehicles such as HMMWV and DPVs. Combine with the cannons' high rate of fire, the vehicle can swiftly engage aircraft, light vehicles, and infantry, or laying down suppressive fire. However, against heavy vehicles, the shells deal very little damage, and the vehicle is very vulnerable to the primary weapons of APCs and MBTs. With no dedicated AT weapons on board, the player should avoid fighting with them unless as a last resort.\n\nThe secondary weapon of the 2K22 Tunguska are 4 tubes of missile containers that hold 4 9M311 anti-aircraft missiles, with 8 more in reserve. The launcher has an extremely wide set deviation value of 30. The missiles can lock onto enemy aircraft, and can be fired off in decently rapid succession, whether locked on or not. It takes 2 missiles, maximum, to shoot down any type of aircraft. Just like its cannons, while the missiles are deadly against aircraft, they deal very low damage to armored vehicles, requiring multiple shots to kill even an APC. If the player find themselves in too tight a situation, the missiles can be used against infantry and light vehicles, although the launcher's high deviation doesn't help much in scoring direct hits on targets, which is usually necessary considering the missiles' low damage against ground vehicles. The player should only use this tactic when one is very close to the enemy, and the player also need to make sure there are no friendly around due to the missile's decent blast radius. The missiles also fly upward after traveling a certain distance, making surface attacks past that distance impossible.\n\nThe passenger stands in the commander's cupola and is completely exposed with no means of shielding oneselves, and is vulnerable to all forms of damage, from small arms fire to artillery strikes. However, the passenger is capable of using any weapons of one's kit, including AT weapons, C4s, and repair tools, which can help increase the effectiveness of the vehicle.\n\nA render of the 2K22 Tunguska.\n\n\"Mobile surface-to-air gun and missile system in service since 1982. Developed in response to range shortcomings in the Zu-23 Shilka design.\"\n\nThe 9K22 Tunguska-M is an anti-aircraft vehicle featured in Battlefield 3, issued to Russian forces.\n\nSeveral 9K22 Tunguskas appear in Fire from the Sky as being used by the PLR to take down the AH-1Z Viper controlled by the two players.\n\nDespite being an anti-aircraft vehicle, the Tunguska's extremely fast-firing autocannons and turret elevation capability make it a useful anti-infantry vehicle as well. The cannons also have remarkable reload times, allowing for an almost endless rain of bullets. It is a perfect vehicle to lay down suppressive fire.\n\nAlthough it lacks dedicated weapons against ground vehicles, it is capable of inflicting serious damage. In one salvo (about six seconds of sustained fire), tanks can be brought down to 20% health if flanked, but can retain 75% if attacked from the front.\n\nIts US counterpart is the LAV-AD, which is almost exactly the same except for its amphibious capability and wheeled chassis, the latter of which prevents the LAV from turning on the spot like the Tunguska can.\n\nPatches have changed the anti-air vehicles' performance against tanks, at one point mistakenly eliminating damage. Patches have also increased the time and precision required to kill infantry.\n\nArt on the Xbox 360 dashboard.\n\nA high-quality render of the 9K22 Tunguska.", null, "The 9K22 Tunguska is a vehicle featured in Battlefield 4.\n\nIn Tashgar, after Tombstone departs from Molina's outpost and eliminates all hostiles outside of it, Recker can drive a 9K22 Tunguska-M, but is rendered useless since its size is too large to fit through the concrete wall. It is equipped with 20mm Cannon, Zuni Rockets, and Fire Extinguisher in the mission.\n\nThe 9K22 Tunguska's main role is to provide anti-aircraft fire and suppression. It can also engage light ground targets with ease such as armored vehicles and buggies. The 9K22 Tunguska can be easily destroyed by MBTs, PT Boats or IFVs.\n\nThe main armament for the Tunguska is its cannon (all cannons on Mobile AA have the same damage output against vehicles, regardless of faction). Each shot type, however, has a different niche with individual stats -- 20mm shells do not have as much damage output as 30mm, and fire at 2000 rounds per minute (33.3 RPS) versus the 600 rounds per minute (10 RPS) with heavy shells. 30mm fires at a slower rate but does higher damage against close range targets and vehicles. Overheat time is also important to note: 20mm will overheat after six seconds of continuous fire, while 30mm overheats after three-and-a-half seconds. (Can be prolonged with the autoloader.)\n\nIn short, 20mm is more potent against targets who are far away on maps such as Paracel Storm or Golmud Railway, while 30mm is better suited to attacking light vehicles and helicopters at shorter range, such as on Zavod 311.\n\nThe Tunguska's secondary armament are missiles and rockets. The type of missile can come down to player preference. Heatseekers are a \"fire and forget\" type of missile, similar to the FIM-92 Stinger. Passive Radar is good for those who have time and guide the missile to the target, similar to the SA-18 Igla. Zuni Rockets allows players to engage heavily armored vehicles such as MBT and IFVs with greater efficiency and combined with 30mm, can become a \"support vehicle\" for tanks and other IFVs, but can be deflected by Active Protection. The Active Radar Missiles can be used to lead enemy targets. When firing missiles, a good strategy to utilize is to fire a single missile to trigger countermeasures then wait to fire a full salvo at the newly exposed target.\n\nOptics is player preference. Zoom helps at long range or precise aiming, while IRNV and Thermal optics help to see enemies in foliage.\n\nUpgrades help with abilities: Maintenance helps the player recover quickly from anti-vehicle weaponry; Thermal Camo increase time to lock on, making it effective against lock on weaponry such as Javelins and Guided missiles from aircraft. Auto-reloader works well for 30mm as it reduces time for reload; Proximity Scan detects AT mines and personnel, useful in high traffic roads or for detecting people in ambuscade; Reactive Armor decreases damage against incoming fire, giving an edge in direct combat. Air Radar helps locate aerial vehicles but replaces the minimap.\n\nGenerally speaking, the AA is at a disadvantage against MBTs and IFVs, as they are equipped with stronger armor and weaponry. As stated above, however, Zuni Rockets enable an AA to fight heavier armor. It's also important to note that a chopper/jet can still destroy a Mobile AA with correct teamwork.\n\nThe vehicle is also amphibious allowing it to cross rivers and lakes, unlike its Battlefield 3 counterpart.\n\nThe 9K22 Tunguska is identical to the Chinese Type 95AA in in terms of stats, while the American LAV-AD has wheels instead of treads, but the three are otherwise identical.\n\n9K22 Tunguska-M on the loadout screen" ]

It is empowered with most advanced and creative tools for color correction and video editing which makes it the top choice for Hollywood movies.\n\nAugust 6, 6: DaVinci Resolve 11 is a major upgrade with over new editing and color grading features.\n\nTrimming tools are context sensitive, which means DaVinci Resolve automatically knows whether editors want to ripple, roll, slip, slide, extend or shorten edits, based on the position of the mouse.\n\nThis makes editing super fast because time is not wasted switching tools and clips can be trimmed on multiple tracks simultaneously in the same direction, or asymmetrically. DaVinci Resolve 11 features a new spline curve keyframe editor integrated into the edit timeline that positions keyframes directly under each clip and in context with the clip.\n\nEditors can now also add and animate Open FX plugins directly in the timeline as well as use plug-ins for transitions. The new collaborative workflow tools in DaVinci Resolve 11 allows an editor and multiple colorists to work on different workstations, sharing the same timeline and working in tandem as they complete shots.\n\nAn example is a colorist could be color grading or tracking windows while another colorist fine tunes grades that are all immediately updated as the editor edits. Each user can see the timeline update so they are all working on the same job at the same time.\n\nSharing the same timeline makes it much easier for creative teams to stay in sync and work faster on large complex jobs such as feature films and television programming. One of the most exciting advantages of the enhanced editing features in DaVinci Resolve 11 is the dramatically better round trip collaboration with Final Cut Pro X.\n\nThis is possible because more of the features in each application are compatible so projects can be moved back and forward easily. A powerful example of this integration is when a Final Cut Pro X customer might be shooting an independent film but then wants to move their edit to a large Hollywood post production facility for color grading and finishing.\n\nThis is an exciting workflow that makes it possible to allow independent filmmakers to integrate with the largest post production facilities.\n\nDaVinci Resolve 11 also includes support for ProRes XQ, the highest-quality version of ProRes that is designed to maintain the detail of high-dynamic-range video through rigorous post-production.\n\nColor correction features have also been upgraded in DaVinci Resolve 11, including all new RAW image and color grading controls that are designed for photographers who are moving into cinematography.\n\nThe application focuses on the professional video color correction, but also mounted a video with it, too, can. A friend sent me some 4K video files and I can reproduce them perfectly in FCPX and Premiere, but for some reason Davinci Resolve Lite 14 gets choppy.\n\nFunnily enough, my friend with a iMac i5, fusion drive, 1GB GPU card and 8GB RAM can reproduce it perfectly in Davinci but not in FCPX nor Premiere.\n\nDavinci Resolve Free Software For Windows after effects cracked file photoshop cs3 windows 10 free add process engineering shape pallete in visio Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve has a well deserved reputation as one of the best (if not the best) color grading software for film and video editing.\n\nBut over the past few years, the company has put a lot of effort toward developing Resolve into a full suite of editing tools as well.", null ]

[ null, "Since 2014, privatization in Ukraine has made little progress. Well-connected oligarchs could no longer dominate the privatization process, as had often been the case in the past because of strengthened public scrutiny and involvement of international donors, yet vested interests were still powerful enough to block privatizations and the lingering problems associated with the country’s business climate prevented the participation of foreign investors.\n\nLast year’s attempts to restart a privatization drive failed despite the government’s increased openness to international advice and absence of obvious manipulations with privatizations. The head of the State Property Fund had to resign after two futile attempts to sell the chemical giant Odesa Portside Plant. The range of unresolved disputes around the company deterred investors despite substantial price reductions. The only large privatization of 2017 was the sale of a minority packages of shares in energy distribution companies, which was purchased by Ukraine’s richest man Rinat Akhmetov, who already held stakes in these companies. This has not brought more outside players to the market, which was what the government had hoped to achieve.\n\nBut this time may be different: Ukraine is serious this time. The new IMF-supported privatization law, which came into effect on March 7, outlines clear procedures to sell state-owned companies fast even if demand is low.\n\nAivaras Abromavičius, former minister of economic development and trade, believes that using the Prozorro system will help unload small state owned enterprises, but privatization of large companies might be delayed again. “It is going to get more difficult by the day as we are approaching elections, due next year. I have higher hopes, however, for offloading some really small SOEs with the help of online auctions via the Prozorro electronic system. There might not be enough political will to sell large assets so close to the elections.”\n\nThe law also reduces the period of time allocated for big-ticket privatization, increases transparency requirements by requiring the involvement of independent advisors and evaluators, and strengthens investor protection by providing an option to review privatization disputes in international arbitration.\n\nStill, much more needs to be done. Many of these companies have substantial debts, and some are undergoing bankruptcy. Two chemical plants, Odesa Portside Plant and Sumychimprom, to be offered for privatization this year have a host of issues associated with their debts to Dmytro Firtash, the Ukrainian oligarch under international sanctions. These debts are deal breakers for privatization and cannot be treated as ordinary debts because of the additional risks of transferring payments to a sanctioned entity. Without a clear policy on this debt, the third attempt to privatize the Odesa Portside Plant will likely fail.\n\nThe energy sector lies at the heart of privatization this year. Its successful privatization would bring new players to the sector, give impetus for market development, and increase its transparency. Of the top twenty-one companies slated for privatization in 2018, eleven represent the energy sector, including six regional power distributors and the second largest energy generator Centerenerho.\n\nThe State Property Fund hopes to triple the revenue from the privatization of six oblenergoes and Centerenergo by introducing a new energy pricing mechanism which starts in April. The new pricing may stimulate investment and make future cash flow to investors more predictable. However, success of this reform is not certain. The new pricing mechanism, the so-called RAB-rates, offers the same profitability for energy companies on all their assets and has been criticized for not attracting enough new investment and benefitting those who purchased energy distribution companies in the 1990s at non-transparent auctions for ridiculously low prices. The reform is especially sensitive as the new pricing mechanism will almost inevitably translate into even higher residential utility rates, which has been a politically sensitive issue after several recent price increases.\n\nThe new law creates grounds for optimism in terms of fast and transparent privatization in Ukraine, which is an important pro-market and anti-corruption measure. While the resolve to privatize is important, more work is required for large privatization to succeed.\n\nIf Ukraine will not be able to solve the outstanding issues such as debts to sanctioned entities or energy sector pricing reform, the attempt at privatization may facilitate yet another redistribution of assets from Yanukovych’s weakened oligarchs to the new generation of oligarchs. Privatization is a chance to bring efficiency gains to the economy and part with past practices when business models of whole sectors were unsustainable without government favors and murky deals. Otherwise, the $750 million in planned privatization revenue envisaged in this year’s budget could be added to the unfunded budget deficit again, as has been the case since 2014.\n\nThis time Ukraine is determined to part with the Soviet legacy of maintaining a large number of inefficient and loss-making state-owned companies. However, more work is needed to ensure the successful privatization of bluechip companies in Ukraine." ]

[ "Stohrer: The Oldest Pâtisserie in Paris", null, "Strolling along the pedestrian rue Montorgueil next to Les Halles you can imagine yourself stocking up along the fresh food market stalls the way it used to be done by Parisians here for 800 years. There’s the fishmonger, the butcher, the fruit stall, the cheese shop, the vegetable stall, the flower shop, the baker, and of course, the pastry shop–but not just any pastry shop.\n\nAs the story goes, Nicolas Stohrer learned his trade as pastry chef in the kitchens of King Stanislas I of Poland, in exile in the East of France. When the King’s daughter, Marie Leszczynska, married King Louis XV of France, she brought her favorite pâtissier with her to Versailles. Five years later, in 1730, the enterprising Stohrer opened his own shop on 51 rue Montorgueil, in the second arrondissement, where it has remained to this day.\n\nThe legend also attributed to this pastry chef the elevation of the Baba au Rhum to the olympus of iconic French desserts. It is said that when King Stanislas settled in his exile in Luneville in eastern France, near Nancy in the Lorraine, he found the local kouglof cake to be too dry. Ah, yes, dry cake, the troubles and tribulations that a monarch in exile had to endure. The King’s chef kindly imbibed the cake in a syrup laced with a herbal liqueur. Stohrer became a specialist of this treat, and when he set up his pastry shop in Paris he started using rum to soak it and it became a durable sensation. In its contemporary version it is often served chilled, accompanied with Chantilly cream and a medley of fresh red berries.\n\nToday the shop is part national treasure, part tourist destination, it has diversified into traiteur and event catering but it remains, essentially, a delightful pâtisserie. So why have they not expanded from their one original address in all these years and go for world cake domination? “Our focus is on longevity,” explains Pierre Liénard, head of the maison, “The recipes are treated with great respect to make sure that the quality and taste remain constant through the generations.”\n\nThe store itself is snug and can accomodate three customers at a time, maybe four at a squeeze. The staff takes their time for the regulars to pick their favorites and the newcomers to take in the decor. They are used to people taking a while before they are ready to order, as the eyes follow up and down from the chalendiers, to the glimmering glass counters and the murals painted by Paul Baudry, the same 19th century artist that painted the frescos in the Opera Garnier.\n\nPrevious Article Hot Hotels on the French Riviera: La Réserve Ramatuelle\nNext Article Not to Miss in Normandy: Palais Bénédictine in Fécamp" ]

[ null, "To tea bag is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of a sexual partner or onto the face or head of another person. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.\n\nAccording to columnist Dan Savage, the person whose scrotum is being stimulated is known as \"the teabagger\" and \"the teabaggee\" is the one giving the stimulation: \"A teabagger dips sack; a teabaggee receives dipped sack.\"[9] Sex and relationship experts have varying definitions on how the act is performed. Some consider the act to be as simple as fellatio involving the scrotum.[6] Others consider the position to involve the man squatting over his reclined partner while the testicles are repeatedly raised and lowered into the mouth. Whether or not licking and fondling is considered tea bagging was once debated on the Howard Stern Show.[10]\n\nTea bagging is not always carried out consensually such as when it is done as a practical joke.[3] It has been used during hazing or bullying incidents with reports including groups holding down victims while the perpetrator \"shoved his testicles in [the victim's] face\"[11] or puts his \"crotch to his head.\"[12][13]\n\nMimicking the act has become popular in multiplayer first person shooter video games. This is executed by the player who just killed an enemy running over to his corpse (if any) and repeatedly crouching in his opponent's face. This is done to humorously imply domination or humiliation.[12] Although considered by some to be bad sportsmanship, its use is widespread throughout amateur and possibly even professional gaming.[14]\n\nIn 2009, the right-leaning Tea Party movement formed in the United States, referencing the Boston Tea Party for its name. For the adherents of the Tea Party movement, the appellation \"teabagger\" emerged, prompting puns by politically-opposed commentators and protesters based on its sexual connotation.[15][16]" ]

Since 1989, she has been a counselor at Lenape in the Central Bucks School District.\n\n\"I always felt that these kids had a lot going on in their lives and what they needed was someone to talk to, rather than someone to cram curriculum down their throat. The mental and emotional health of the students needed to be addressed before the academic issues could be resolved. So I decided to go to school to become a school counselor, so I could spend my time talking with students to help them cope with the bigger things, and then be more ready to learn,\" Kuntzmann told Action News.\n\nOne student she made a connection with was Aleccia Moore.\n\n\"She was fiercely independent, a little defiant and clearly marched to her own drummer. Most of the time I spent with her was trying to intervene with teachers who were frustrated by her attitude, and help them understand her. We also talked a lot about family life and other stressors that are common among adolescents,\" Kuntzmann said.\n\nKuntzmann would go on to counsel hundreds of children, helping navigate their presents and while discussing their futures, as Moore would go on to become a pop music sensation known as Pink.\n\nThe guidance counselor, who remembers Pink resembling the schoolgirl she portrays in the 'Don't Let Me Get Me' video, has watched Moore's rise to stardom and could not be happier for her former student.\n\n\"It brings me to tears to see her living her dream. And I am inspired every day by the message she projects both through her music and via whatever platform is available to her,\" Kuntzmann said.\n\nSo when Kuntzmann found out Pink was returning to South Philadelphia, she knew she had to be there.\n\nThough, she was not able to purchase tickets, they go fast, another student who stays in contact with Kuntzmann had an extra one for her.\n\nThe student, coincidentally, is also friends with Pink.\n\n\"The afternoon of the show, he messaged Alecia and told her I was coming with him. So I knew she was aware I would be there. But she has known that at other shows as well, so I had no reason to think anything was going to be special about this time,\" Kuntzmann said.\n\nBut it was a special moment as Pink figuratively raised her glass to her former guidance counselor.\n\nAccording to the Central Bucks Education Association, Pink stopped the show, put the spotlight on Kuntzmann and thanked her for \"being there for me at a time where it felt like nobody else was.\"\n\nThe guidance counselor was given a standing ovation by the thousands in the crowd.\n\n\"I was in such a state of shock, I only remember bits and pieces of what she said. Alecia thanked me for supporting her during a difficult time, when she didn't feel like there were many people in her corner. And she went on to say that all dysfunctional kids need someone like that in their life. I was really touched. We blew kisses at each other and I cried. I remember being surprised by the reaction of the crowd. It was so positive and supportive. Surreal is the best word I can use to describe it,\" Kuntzmann said.\n\nThe attention from Pink has led to Kuntzmann realizing her true impact on the students she's guided over the years.\n\n\"Since that night, the response from the entire Central Bucks Community has been incredible.

[ null, "From overcrowding on Mount Everest to a glut of tourists triggering a 'Poppy Apocalypse' in California, 'overtourism' is gaining traction in the mainstream media.\n\nCruise ships and the rise of low cost airlines are emerging as some of the drivers of the outcome that cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice are experiencing tourism levels that are creating major angst among residents; some cities have opted to initiate tourist taxes to gain revenue that supports infrastructure for their growing numbers of tourists.\n\nBut behind those headlines tourism organisations are working to craft strategies to manage overtourism, and cities across the globe have viable opportunities for addressing that challenges that stem from the phenomenon.\n\nIn the Americas, Bogotá and Buenos Aires are listed as ‘Dawning Developers’; Mexico City is designated as an ‘Emerging Performer’; and San Francisco is classified as ‘Managing Momentum’. Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York fall under ‘Mature Performers’, and Chicago and Washington (DC) are classified as operating under ‘Balanced Dynamics’.\n\nThe report cites several examples of cities adopting various strategies to alleviate overtourism. Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Mexico City have a balanced mix of leisure and business travellers. Additionally, both Bogotá and Buenos Aires have slower tourism growth and a longer time period to develop urban characteristics for growth in tourism.\n\nBuenos Aires also drew praise for its recent improvement in air connectivity, with more direct flights to the city after the government liberalised the aviation industry. However, that liberalisation could change after the country’s next presidential election.\n\nMexico City “still has to define how to manage and increase capacity to maximise potential”, according to the WTTC and JLL report. The country’s government has scrapped plans for a new airport to replace Mexico City Juarez international, which is operating well above capacity, and the government has proposed a three airport approach that will diminish Mexico City’s prospects of becoming a global competitive hub.\n\nBuenos Aires and Mexico City are examples of opportunities to capitalise on tourism growth potential in ways to deflect overtourism, but it remains to be seen whether the governments of Argentina and Mexico will commit to invest in ensuring that the proper infrastructure is in place.\n\nSome more mature markets in the Americas are taking steps to mitigate overtourism. The WTTC and JLL noted that New York’s tourism marketing organisation 'NYC & Company' and other travel businesses had introduced several measures aimed at dispersing visitors.\n\nThe organisation has created marketing campaigns to entice visitors to stay longer and explore beyond the city centre, encouraging tourists to take in the city’s five boroughs. NYC & Company also provides education to businesses throughout the boroughs to accelerate engagement with the travel and tourism sector.\n\nIn the winter of 2019 New York City also worked to lure visitors to discover the city in the quieter winter season with a series of “Winter Outing” promotions, including 2-for-1 admissions to the city’s top attractions and Broadway shows.\n\nIn Dec-2018 the city of Los Angeles city council passed an ordinance to legalise home sharing, according to the WTTC and JLL report. Beginning 1-Jul-2019, locals can legally rent their residence to short term visitors with certain restrictions. Hosts can rent their entire home for up to 120 nights per year or longer through a more detailed approval process. Airbnb, which, the report highlighted, has collected the city’s 14% lodging tax from guests on behalf of hosts since 2016, welcomed the legislation.\n\nAs the busy travel season in the Northern Hemisphere reaches full swing, more anecdotes about overtourism will permeate the news cycle. But the hard work by cities and tourism bodies to create the proper infrastructure for the evolution in tourism in the future will continue, and in some cases, accelerate." ]

Her thought experiments leave me awestruck by the natural world’s capacity to stoke my imagination, to call attention to the unconscious and arbitrary rules by which I process my surroundings. Each poem is coupled with a pointillist illustration, as if to assert again and again Ono’s off-kilter, abstract perception.

On the song “Love Love Love,” we hear of King Saul’s biblical defeat, the murderous Raskolnikov’s spiritual angst, and Kurt Cobain’s suicide. Yet the song’s focus is constant: love will lead us through life’s difficulties: “Love is going to lead you by the hand.” On “Broom People,” Darnielle sings, “I write down good reasons to freeze to death… But in the long tresses of your hair, I am a babbling brook.” For Darnielle, love seems to be bound up in images of an escape into nature, so that moonrises and blooming cherry trees become at once emblems of relief from immediate suffering and a reminder of the world that lies beyond this world’s volatility and dysfunction.\n\nIt was midafternoon during an August hurricane. A dull thud rattled my bathroom; I felt a rumble in my feet. Trees had been falling since morning, but the blows barely sounded in my house. I cried when I saw that my century-old cherry tree had been uprooted. I pleaded with myself: Maybe we can put it back. Inadvertently, Peter Wohlleben’s book The Hidden Life of Trees reminded me of my grief over the trees falling, forcing me to wonder: When do we make time to mourn for our trees? Or to wonder at the years of biological and chemical complexity that forged my yard’s beautiful tree, all its memories and bonds, all its efforts to protect itself and the trees around it? All I do now is hope that it fell quickly enough that it never registered pain and acknowledge its success in thriving for so long.

Scott Applewhite)\nMidterm Elections\n\nWhat Will Republicans Do If They Control Congress?\n\nWASHINGTON—Republican control of the House and Senate seems tantalizingly close, so leading Republicans are turning to a matter often overlooked in campaigns: how to actually govern.\n\nThey say it will be crucial to show the GOP can legislate, lead and solve problems after years of lobbing political grenades at President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats.\n\nIf they add Senate control to their House dominance, Republicans say they will pass some bills that Obama is sure to veto, as they try to highlight their ideological differences with Democrats. But they also will push for changes in taxes, trade, regulations and other policies that both parties might accept.\n\n“We have to prove in two years the Republican Congress can govern,” said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.\n\nRepublicans know their new majority might last only two years — assuming, that is, they first obtain it this fall by picking up at least six net seats, as many predict they will. The 2016 Senate election map is far more favorable to Democrats. The contest to replace the term-limited president will add further distractions and uncertainty.\n\nIn interviews, GOP senators talked at times of an ambitious conservative push for fewer regulations, lower taxes and other long-held priorities. But they also outlined more pragmatic, modest agendas that might avoid Obama’s veto and the filibuster powers Senate Democrats will hold even if they’re consigned to the minority.\n\nThere was virtually no talk of balancing the budget, repealing Obama’s health care law or achieving similar GOP campaign pledges that prove politically impossible in Washington. These senators noted that even small achievements will require levels of bipartisanship rarely seen these days.\n\n“It’s very possible to get a number of things done if the president is willing to come to the table, and I believe he will,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.\n\nSignificant numbers of Democrats and Republicans have shown interest in all these ideas, he said, and “we should focus on where we can find common ground.”\n\nYet these proposals, not to mention more ambitious ones, face strong pockets of resistance, mainly but not entirely from the political left.\n\nMany environmentalists strongly oppose the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry crude oil from Canada to Texas. Obama has blocked it, but several congressional Democrats support it.\n\nAs for lowering the corporate tax rate, the parties repeatedly have failed to resolve several issues, including where to set the new rate, how to tax U.S. companies’ overseas profits and which tax loopholes to close in exchange for a lower rate.\n\nProminent members of both parties say a GOP-controlled Congress could open the way to major trade deals with China, Japan and Europe. Obama has requested the power to negotiate trade agreements that Congress can approve or reject, but not cripple with amendments.\n\nBut some labor unions and Democrats oppose enhanced negotiating clout for the White House.\n\nRepublican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee hopes a GOP-run Senate would end the stalemate over trade and several other issues. “Congress would be speaking with one voice,” he said, and Republicans “would have to be in a governing mode.”\n\nCorker hopes a Republican Congress could persuade Obama to loosen regulations and promote energy projects including the Keystone pipeline. But he said he worries that environmentalists, labor unions and other Democratic-leaning groups still hold too much sway.\n\n“I’ve found him to be so afraid of his base,” Corker said.\n\nSen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says leaders of both parties must be willing to defy key supporters, and even risk their political careers, to end government gridlock.\n\nWith his re-election virtually assured, Graham has told business leaders he wants Congress to improve roads and bridges and to shore up entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, among other things. That will require ending some tax breaks and finding new sources of revenue, which is anathema to many Republicans, he said.\n\n“I’m willing as a Republican to violate some of the pledges we’ve all made” against tax increases, Graham said.\n\nSuch boldness is rare in Washington. That truth is repeatedly proven when talk turns to the president’s health law.\n\nNearly every Republican in Congress has pledged to repeal the law, and a GOP-run Senate would likely join the House in passing bills to do that. Obama would veto them, a point that would seem self-evident.\n\nYet no less a politician than Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky ran afoul of conservative activists when he told Fox News that Obama obviously “is not going to sign a full repeal.” McConnell said, however, that Congress may try to peel off specific pieces, such as the tax on medical devices.\n\nConservatives’ howls forced McConnell’s Senate staff to issue a statement saying he “is and has always been committed to the full repeal of Obamacare, and he’ll continue to lead efforts to repeal and replace it.”\n\nSuch statements extend the endless quarrels over the health law, suggesting how hard it will be for the next Congress — with or without a Republican-controlled Senate — to solve the nation’s big problems." ]

[ "Where to Stream All American?", null, "Rags to riches stories never get old as they often tend to be laced with societal criticism. Moreover, the template can be easily tailored to various genres to present compelling tales. The CW’s ‘All American‘ is a TV show that uses this rags-to-riches mold to tell a teenage high-school story that is not limited to love triangles and gossip.\n\n‘All American’ also takes a look at the topic of race, displaying just how deeply it has seeped into American society. Unflinchingly, it presents the protagonist’s struggles of fitting into a “better” environment with more opportunities.\n\nWhat is All American About?\n\n‘All American’ follows the story of Spencer James. An extremely talented football player, James is given the opportunity to transfer to an elitist Beverly Hills school thanks to a scholarship. At first, James is conflicted regarding the decision as he does not wish to leave his old lifestyle.\n\nHowever, since it is a golden opportunity, James accepts it. However, he starts to find it difficult to fit in and his new school’s football team does not particularly appreciate his arrival.\n\nIs All American on Netflix?\n\nNetflix is associated with online streaming, the same way Google is with web search. The fact that the streaming service has arguably the best repository of original productions as well as those from other sources makes the preceding fact less surprising. Netflix fans have another reason to rejoice since they can stream ‘All American’ on the streaming platform. A new season is uploaded on Netflix roughly a week after it has finished airing completely on television.\n\nIs All American on Hulu?\n\nHulu has managed to stand out as a leading streaming platform despite fierce competition thanks to some successful originals and the hosting of several other popular productions. Unfortunately, Hulu subscribers cannot stream ‘All American’ on the platform. Instead, fans may want to check out East Los High that revolves around a bunch of Latino teens from East Los Angeles. However, a Hulu With Live TV subscription will give you access to the latest season of ‘All American.’\n\nIs All American on Amazon Prime?\n\nAlong with Hulu and Netflix, Amazon Prime has become a part of the uncrowned “Big Three” of streaming services. Amazon’s streaming service also hosts several compelling originals along with a vast repository of movies and television series from other sources. Unfortunately, ‘All American’ cannot be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. However, specific episodes can be bought for $2.99 apiece here.\n\nWhere Can I Stream All American Online?\n\nOther than Netflix and Hulu With Live TV, you can stream ‘All American’ on The CW App or official website. Moreover, the show can also be streamed on Direct TV which offers The CW as a part of its TV channel bundles.\n\nWhere Can I Stream All American For Free?\n\nWe urge our readers to pay for all the art they consume. However, if you are still looking for a way to watch ‘All American’ for free, there is some great news. Using The CW App or website, one can watch the five latest episodes of ‘All American’ for free. Other than that, you can also make use of Netflix’s 30-day free trial if you haven’t done so already." ]

[ "https://pointspromo.codes/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/a-soccer-philosophy-1080x675.jpg", null ]

[ null, "One of the most recurrent phrases that you will hear in soccer today is that of a managers ‘philosophy of football.’ It appears that nowadays success can only be achieved if you have a ‘philosophy,’ a style of play, which you believe in and which you stand by even when things are not going well. It is possible to ignore the fact that the word clearly has no place in the context of soccer. Even that whenever a manager talks about his philosophy it conjures, not the notion of new intellectual facade to the game, but instead the impression of a pretentious European trying to sound more intelligent than he really is. However, even disregarding these frustrating characteristics of the phrase, it is possible that when a manager professes to have a successful philosophy, it may actually be to the detriment of the team’s success in the long term. There are also a few philosophies that go into sports betting, like for example using a promo code to get a great head start.\n\nThe most famous footballing philosophy in the world is that of the impregnable style employed by the soccer team considered the best in the world by many. Barcelona’s combination of supreme technical ability, stylish passing and an indomitable work rate has seen them rise to the top of the UEFA rankings, and in some years made them practically invincible. All this is down to the brilliant and unmovable philosophy of total football that the club employs, regardless of who is in charge. Why then were they made to look so average in the recent 7-0 mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich? This was not the first sign of a less effective Barca who narrowly scraped through the quarter-finals against PSG, and lost in the group stage to Celtic. Certainly this year the once feared team always seemed to be beatable. Could the reason for this be that they are so obsessed with their ‘philosophy’ that it prevents them from adapting with a rapidly developing sport. The problem is that teams have worked out how to beat Barcelona; if they can be contained then they can be beaten. It worked for Chelsea last season, it nearly worked for Milan and PSG, and in the end a Bayern team with great technical ability mixed with an added physicality found it easy. It is clear that Barca need to respond. They have been figured out and now must adapt their style if they are to retain their place at the top of Europe’s soccer elite. But are they capable of such a change? Repeatedly the club has insisted that it will not change its philosophy. Instead of adapting to compete with the physical prowess of sides like Bayern Munich, they will continue to play in the same manner and bring in the same type of player. Of course a team like Barcelona will always be challenging for the top honors, but can they really expect to have the same level of success if they cannot adapt to a changing game.\n\nAnother example that appears to epitomize the fact that an obsession with a philosophy of football can be detrimental is the Premier Leagues now longest serving manager, Arsène Wenger. Wenger was an instant hit at Arsenal and was widely praised for his ‘philosophy’ of developing young, technically gifted players, and playing attractive attacking football. Between his appointment in 1996 and 2005 he won three Premier League titles, and four FA Cup’s. However Arsenal is now in the midst of an eight year trophy drought and this has led many to question whether Wenger should still be at the club. In reality his is still there because of what he did at the beginning, because his style was so effective and remains very attractive to watch. But no matter how good your style of football, eventually teams will figure out how to counter it. Unless you are able to adapt that style then the top teams will learn how to beat you. Wenger has absolute belief in his philosophy, but an inability to recognize when that philosophy is no longer effective prevents even the best managers from viewing their weaknesses objectively. It is plainly obvious to anyone with a shred of footballing knowledge that Arsenal’s two main weaknesses are their shockingly poor defense, and lack of experience or leadership on the pitch. Surely then an experienced, solid central defender and a natural leader in midfield could have an instant, positive effect on the Arsenal team. Instead Wenger has continued to stand by his philosophy and refused to change the way things are done. Consequently he must cling to small victories such as narrowly beating Tottenham to the fourth league spot, no mean feat but surely not a cause for great celebration at a club the size of Arsenal.\n\nIn contrast to this, the stand out manager of this generation has undoubtedly been Sir Alex Ferguson. He retires this season as the most successful British manager in history, and Premier League Champion for the thirteenth time. In 27 years he has won 13 Premier League titles, FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 2 Champions League Trophies. But the most striking element of this was the sustained success. For 27 years other teams challenged United, from Blackburn and Newcastle, to Liverpool and Arsenal, then Chelsea and now Manchester City. Many succeeded at some point but Sir Alex always kept the reds competitive, and always managed to reclaim the title. He was never afraid to change formations or drop big names. Usually he would never have spent £24 million on an injury prone 29 yr. old, but he knew that Robin Van Persie would be instrumental in regaining the title from City, so he changed his policy and it won him the title. Ferguson’s insatiable ability to adapt and respond to new threats has ensured the kind of continued success for Manchester United that is rarely seen in today’s football. Clearly the important factor for sustained success is adaptability, and commitment to a particular ‘philosophy of football’ prevents a manager from being truly adaptable." ]

[ "Introduction: This study evaluates if undergraduate medical trainees’ laparoscopic skills acquisition could be monitored and assessed using a virtual reality (VR) simulator and how the resultant metrics correlate with actual performance of Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery™ (FLS) tasks. We studied the use of VR to characterize and assess the laparoscopic skills attained in a competency-based curriculum designed for graduating medical students applying for general surgery residency. Our overall goal is to integrate milestone competencies for surgery across the educational continuum and document trainee progress toward proficiency.\n\nMethods: Ten fourth year medical students applying for surgical residency completed a monitored, self-paced virtual reality training curriculum comprised of camera navigation (CN), hand eye coordination (HEC) and FLS tasks: circle cutting (CC), ligating loop (LL), peg transfer (PT), and intracorporeal knot tying (IKT). Performance goals were those of the simulator for CN and HEC tasks and the standard goals given in the instruction manual for FLS tasks. Progress through the VR curriculum was monitored weekly by a single faculty member (FLS certified) using online software (Mentorlearn™). After eight weeks, students were observed and recorded performing FLS tasks. The best VR performance for each FLS task and the observed performance of the FLS tasks were scored by assigning penalties as described in the FLS instruction manual. The ability of the VR simulator to detect penalties in each of the FLS tasks and agreements of time taken to complete tasks are reported. Additional metrics from the VR simulator (speed, number of movements, path length, strain, needle drops, passes, and loading time) were examined for correlation to the commission of penalties. The VR simulator‘s sensitivity and specificity was assessed on FLS task penalties; Bland Altman plots evaluated the agreement between the VR simulator and observed time of performance; and a bivariate cumulative logit analysis assessed the correlation of metrics to the commission of penalties.\n\nResults: All ten students trained in 100% of the curriculum and were proficient in CN and HEC tasks, though no student achieved proficiency in all of the VR modules assigned. Proficiency was achieved in CC, LL, PT and IKT by 8, 6, 8, and 1 student, respectively. VR simulation showed high specificity for predicting zero penalties on the observed CC, LL, and PT tasks (78%, 80%, and 60%). VR consistently underestimates time for CC, LL, PT, and IKT tasks. Additional variables did not correlate with penalties for any task.\n\nConclusions: VR can be used to monitor and assess medical student acquisition of laparoscopic skills. The absence of penalties in the simulator reasonably predicts the absence of penalties in manual demonstration of CC, LL and PT skills, but not IKT. The documented skills acquired by trainees can be transferred to a graduate medical education program for further monitoring of progress toward proficiency.", null ]

[ null, "In the wake of dozens of San Benito High School students becoming ill and the forced cancelation of the annual Grad Trip to Disneyland, officials are saying that a virus — not a bacteria — may have been to blame, while the group that served food that some blamed for the stomach distress called speculation about the cause \"a gossip game.\"\n\nIn a May 25 letter sent to SBHS District Superintendent John Perales by San Benito County communicable disease nurse Kelly Sonnenschein, it was reported that laboratory results on a stool sample submitted by one of the students involved in last week's \"health incident … did not contain pathogenic bacteria.\" She noted that the county's Department of Environmental Health \"was not able to test any of the items served\" to seniors on \"Finale Rally\" day, an annual celebration at the end of the school year.\n\nPerales released a statement saying the results of the testing done by the health department \"leads us to believe that the illness many of our students suffered from was a virus. This further leads us to believe that the food served by our FFA Team at the senior finale rally was not the cause of the illness. He then addressed community accusations against the FFA, which for years has provided barbecued meals for students:\n\n\"As I am active on social media, I have unfortunately read many accusatory and distasteful comments aimed at our FFA Program,\" Perales wrote. \"This reminds me of the saying, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' I can share with you that during our investigation the FFA Advisory Group / Parents have been very cooperative and have themselves sought out the Health Department to see how they can improve their practice. I was present at one of these inspections and the Health Inspector passed their work and practices with high marks.\n\nWe are all saddened by the cancelation of the Disneyland Grad Trip and as I have shared, the trip is in many ways a rite of passage that our students missed out on – for this I apologize. We will work to begin refunding the cost of the trip as soon as possible – we are looking at starting this coming Tuesday, May 31st.\n\nThe Ag Boosters also released a statement calling the accusations that the food served by the FFA was to blame for the vomiting and diarrhea that students suffered \"a gossip game.\"\n\n\"Dear Parents and Members of the Community,\n\nWe were contacted early Friday morning in regards to the possible food poisoning stemming from the Tri-Tip sandwiches we provided. The AG Boosters board members immediately became proactive in handling this situation and investigating thoroughly with the appropriate officials. At the advice of the Health Department and school officials, we waited until there was sufficient evidence to make a statement. We investigated our practices related to our food handling and distribution. The report findings from the Health Department cleared us of any wrongdoing and the unfortunate illness was the result of a terrible virus. This situation has turned into the gossip game with many different stories/theories going around the community that are false.\n\nTo the all the seniors and their families involved: we, as parents and friends, feel horribly you became sick. Being in such a close knit community, we know so many of you and your sickness and missing the Grad Night Disneyland opportunity made us all feel horribly.\n\nThe AG Boosters have been providing food for the school and various organizations for 20+ years. We have always been diligent and careful with the handling, preparing, storage, and serving of our food. As people have said, things happen – but we want to assure you that we didn’t skip any steps with the process we are provided by the Health Department.\n\nPlease know this is an isolated incident and to our knowledge we haven’t had any health concerns related to any of our functions previously. The number of students affected has been an ever changing number. Our understanding is approximately 10% of the students that ate the sandwiches became ill after. We’ve spoken to several people including SBHS students and residents of our community whom have had similar symptoms that didn’t consume the sandwiches.\n\nWe want to thank our volunteers who continue to make AG Boosters a great organization to support the kids of Hollister. Thank you to the Health Department for their professionalism and thorough investigation. Thank you to the school administration for your guidance during this difficult incident. And a special thank you to our loyal supporters for your continued support for so many years. We appreciate you all and look forward to serving you for years to come.\n\nSincerely,\nThe Parents, Board Members, and entire AG Booster family\"", null, null ]

[ null, "Zika virus has recently been overshadowed by COVID-19, but it was the virus many people had their eye on before the pandemic. The virus, which is spread via mosquito bites, has been described as causing symptoms that are reminiscent of – but milder than – those that occur with dengue fever. Like dengue fever, Zika virus is classified as a flavivirus.\n\nDengue fever is known to pose an enhanced risk of severe illness in those who have previously suffered an infection with a different serotype. Given the similarities between Zika virus and dengue fever, scientists have speculated that infection with Zika may similarly increase the risk of becoming severely ill when subsequently infected with the virus causing dengue fever.\n\nTo test this theory, researchers have conducted an investigation on children in Nicaragua who suffered these infections. The results showed that, like with dengue fever, one previous Zika infection elevated the risk for severe illness when people were later infected with the virus causing dengue fever.\n\nAccording to the authors, these data, while important for clarifying realities of these related viruses, complicate the picture when it comes to vaccine development. The only dengue vaccine that is currently licensed is known to enhance the risk of severe illness in those who have never been infected with dengue. These new results, published in Science, highlight the potential for a Zika vaccine to suffer similar limitations.\n\nAs the experts note, it will be important to continue to conduct research on the relationship between these different flaviviruses to understand the implications of previous infection on future risk as well as to best deploy strategies for safe and effective vaccines. Differences in how infections with certain serotypes influence experiences with future infections of different serotypes will also be critical for developing a comprehensive picture of the interplay of these viruses." ]

[ "You are here: Home / Fiction / Action & Adventure / Rise of the Anshar by C.W. Hambleton", null, "Myths. Legends. Ancient lore. Primeval stories buried deep within the memories of the earliest civilizations of mankind. Even today, many cultures retain the distant longing for a lost paradise, tales of a worldwide flood, and legends of a tower of confusion. Yet too few of us ask if the legends are true.\n\nThis is a story of the First Age, when dragons and giants freely roamed the earth and mankind lived for hundreds of years. Paradise was fresh in their memories and still sought by those who yearned for it. The earth was young, unmarred, and bountiful — and ripe for subjugation by men, beasts, and demons.\n\nThe first great struggle for mankind’s fate has been won, but in the middle of the First Age, a new threat is rising as ancient enemies seek to reclaim what they lost. And this time, the enemies of mankind will not accept defeat.\n\nWhat Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?\nOne big piece of advice is to read “Self-Editing for Fiction Writers” before writing your manuscript. I found I spent far too much time describing scenes and settings to the reader instead of showing them through the eyes of the characters. I used to have a big issue with “telling” instead of “showing”, which I’m getting better at. The trick of seeing and writing novels from the perspective of a camera was a big help in improving my books.\n\nThe second piece of advice would be to not try to get the manuscript perfect during the draft-phase. There’s no such thing as a perfect draft or manuscript, and like bugs in software, there will always be “one more revision.” I find that whenever I encounter something in my work-in-progress that starts to interfere with my flow of thought or writing, I put a TODO note such as “(TODO: fix/add something here!)” and then continue on with writing. This goes for clumsy dialogue, bad beginnings/endings, or anything else that fosters writer’s-block. I will typically have 50-100 TODOs in every draft that I’ll go back and fix later.\n\nAuthor Bio:\nChris Hambleton resides in Denver, Colorado where he is employed as a software developer and consultant. He has authored more than a dozen books, as well as developed several websites, software applications, and written software-related articles. His other interests include hiking, studying the Bible, reading American history and politics, along with devouring good fiction books. Recently, he has been learning to enjoy classical music.\n\nWhat Inspired You to Write Your Book?\nI’ve always been interested in history and the ancient world. In 2005, I took up an interest in studying the Antediluvian Age and the Ice Age that followed. I looked around for a book that accurately portrayed it, and since the few I found (at the time) weren’t what I was looking for, I decided to go off and write my own. A few outlines later, I found that I had come up a framework from which many books could be written." ]

[ "Human rights are the fundamental protections and conditions that everyone deserves. It has taken some time for people to agree on exactly what they should be. Over the years we have identified more and more human rights. They fall into 3 main categories which are used today in human rights law. These categories show us how different rights can demand different things from states and can provide different protections for people.\n\nMany of the first human rights recognised under international law were civil rights, usually concerning basic freedoms and political rights. Examples of these rights include the right to life, freedom of speech or the right to a fair trial.\n\nThese rights are often referred to as ‘negative rights’, meaning that they protect people from unnecessary interference. They are about preventing harmful actions rather than encouraging positive ones. This can mean protecting people’s’ property and person from harm and theft, or insuring that governments cannot act against their people.\n\nThese emerged after World War II as some governments started recognising more rights by including them in the UN Declaration (the United Nations’ agreement on human rights). These rights are all about promoting equality in society. They include things like the right to a job, food or housing.\n\nThis set of human rights was new because it required ‘positive’ action by governments. Things like safe drinking water and a good supply of food are something states have a responsibility to provide for their citizens because of these rights.\n\nSolidarity (or minority) rights are the final generation of human rights that have been recognised in international agreements. They protect groups of people and sometimes even whole nations. Also, they focus on protecting freedom, independence and equal opportunities of groups. They are seen as particularly important to areas that were once colonies (part of an empire) or ruled by another group. This is because they includes things like the right to self-determination (choosing your own government) or the right to peace.\n\nSomething unusual about these rights early on was that, for the first time, they applied to a group of people rather than individuals. This is why they are also used to protect minority groups. These may be groups of people who are especially vulnerable in society, like women, children or disabled people. Special human rights have been introduced to protect many of these groups, making sure governments are acting to protect these people and that they have access to the same rights as everyone else.\n\nWhat is Human Trafficking and what to watch out for?", null ]

An LED screen in front of the Planetarium offered a live view of the Sun, or from time to time, explanatory videos.\n\nOther people held the glasses as an improvised filter over the camera lens of their mobile telephones. More professionally minded photographers, there in abundance, used real filters. School groups, retirees, but most of all young people had come out: unemployment is high among young adults in Spain, so they had the time and the proper finances to appreciate a free show.\n\nRefreshments, so to speak, were provided by Wrigley's, which introduced a new brand of chewing gum that day to Spain: Trex Eclipse. Representatives handed out free packs. Over loudspeakers, an astronomer described other eclipses as the heavens continued to move above us.\n\nBy the light was noticeably dimmer, like a cloudy day, and, next to us, the light diffracting through the tiny spaces between the leaves of the rose bushes dappled tiny crescent shapes on the ground. A Telemadrid TV station helicopter began to circle the Planetarium, photographing a sea of people staring through cardboard glasses at the sky.\n\nSome people waved. The moment approached. The crescent shrank into a tiny sliver. The Planetarium had arranged for a violinist, Ara Malikian, to play his composition, Moon Shadow, during the peak minutes of the eclipse. He was introduced to applause. The work made use of the ability of a violinist to play two strings at once, the two notes representing the two heavenly bodies as they reached harmony — though he was hard to hear over the TV helicopter. For 4 minutes and 11 seconds, a beautiful halo of light floated overhead, too brilliant to see without shades, wonderful but weird.\n\nThe shadows under the rose bushes became rings. The light was dimmer, and shadows sparkled with a new geometry.\n\nPeople looked up and around with delight. Then, the ring thinned at the bottom, and there was a flash of a Baily's bead, a pearl of light that marked the rays of the Sun passing through a valley on the edge of the surface of the Moon. The Sun became a crescent again, to more applause. The violinist explored the slow separation of the two spheres, ending with two sustained, simultaneous notes, to yet more applause. The crescent gradually grew, and eventually people began to drift off to the street, pausing for one last observation of the Sun through their souvenir glasses before they entered the subway and returned to their normal Monday routine.\n\nThey're talking about the same thing at the fiesta in Pamplona, famous for the running of the bulls.

[ null, "Like most Jamaicans, when I read the newspaper headline last Wednesday, 'Drier days ahead', my instinctive reaction was, 'This must be false prophecy on the part of our weather forecasters'. Facing the prospect of even more severe inconvenience from water lock-offs, such a brief state of denial is a natural human reaction.\n\nIndications from the meteorologists, though not always spot-on, do, however, suggest that the drought conditions being experienced in Jamaica and around the region will continue in the months ahead. Householders and farmers should therefore brace themselves for an intensification of the dislocations that are caused by drought.\n\nAlready, almost no area of the Kingston Metropolitan Region has been unaffected by daily lock-offs and, in some cases, have lost their water supply for weeks at a time. The first threat from this is to the health of our citizens, which will become more dangerous as the summer months approach. The risks of gastro-enteritis and aggravation of respiratory illnesses in these conditions are usually the most widespread. The picture painted by the National Water Commission of the shortfall in its various supply systems and of the problems it is encountering with rehabilitation of existing wells and drilling for new ones is not encouraging.\n\nOur farmers are now beginning to be hurt by the drought with reports from St Elizabeth, Jamaica's main farming belt, that they have not seen significant rainfall since the middle of last year. While the prices in my Coronation Market 'basket of food crops' did not, in mid-March, yet reflect sharp movements, the effects are bound to be seen very soon, and particularly in the crops that are often affected in the traditional dry season. On the one hand, the prices for carrots, scallion, pumpkin, string beans and sweet peppers on the third Saturday in March were less than on the second Saturday in January. Meanwhile, callaloo, chocho and lettuce sold for the same as in January.\n\nEvidence of upward movement was, however, seen in prices for cabbage, limes, onions, pawpaw and Irish potato. But overall, things were pretty stable, considering the jump in gasolene prices and increase in the GCT which would have affected some of the costs of the vendors since January. Beyond my Coronation basket, though, prices have increased significantly, as reflected in the acceleration in the inflation rate since late 2009. In fact, inflation for the December 2009-February 2010 period was 3.6 per cent, a rate that, if sustained, would push the annual average inflation to over 15 per cent, compared with 10.2 per cent for 2009.\n\nFurther inflation pressures will come from the GCT on electricity which will be reflected in light bills for March for households consuming more than 250 kilowatt hours per month, and the hike in bus fares that, unofficially, will be passed on to other forms of transportation. The prices for some important imported food items, like rice, are also rising, and in this regard, the increase in the price of rice from Guyana is a direct consequence of the same weather pattern that is affecting Jamaica and the rest of the region.\n\nA somewhat unexpected speeding up in oil prices is another factor that has now emerged and will affect the inflation equation in Jamaica. We had been enjoying the slump in oil prices which saw them falling from US$140 per barrel in mid-2008 to as low as US$33 per barrel in early 2009. By the end of 2009, they had moved back to near US$70 per barrel, but in recent weeks they have climbed to as high as over US$80, despite the fact that global oil consumption in the US and most major economies has fallen. Commodity investors and not supply and demand are behind this surge in oil prices, and this could continue to exert pressure as investors view commodities as attractive options.\n\nThe price of oil is such a sensitive variable in the Jamaican economy and its effect so widespread on the cost of living that this development has to be carefully monitored. If prices were to move up from the widely projected range of US$75-$80 per barrel, which is quite likely what Jamaica has assumed in its macroeconomic planning, to US$80-$90 per barrel as some analysts are anticipating, this would have a serious negative impact on our foreign exchange market and on inflation. Gasolene prices would likely be the first area to be affected. Already, these prices have moved up steadily in the United States and will pick up pace in the summer driving season in the Northern Hemisphere, which is just around the corner.\n\nAs with the drought, I would want to 'deny' the threat of a spike in oil prices as false prophecy, considering the severe strain on households, given the wage freeze on public-sector workers and job losses in several areas of the economy. In this Easter season, foremost in our prayers to the Almighty will no doubt be a plea for a turn in the weather that would ease this difficult year of adjustment for many Jamaicans.\n\nO God, in whom we live and move, and have our being, grant us rain, in abundance, that being sufficiently helped with the temporal, we may the more confidently seek after eternal gifts." ]

[ null, "This is a continuation of last week’s column in which I address some of the questions I couldn’t fully answer during my workshop Interpretation and the Gig Economy at the National Association for Interpretation’s national workshop in Denver.\n\nWhat advice would you give to a seasonal employee who is still developing their resume and to eventually be in a position to be freelance?\n\nThere are so many pieces of advice to give here. The biggest is, don’t quit your day job. Yet. I made that mistake once.\n\nI was 28, didn’t see a future for myself at my employer at the time, had big dreams of being an interpretive writer and playwright, and I decided to just take the plunge. I quit my job and started to figure things out from there.\n\nI was very, very poor for about five years. Like don’t know how I’ll pay the rent, guess I’ll eat Ichiban noodles again poor. It was stressful. What was I missing?\n\nI have always been a chronic procrastinator; I still am, as are so many of my creative colleagues. But now, I have a stack of techniques for dealing with it. I had none then. I faffed around endlessly, causing myself and others tremendous stress.\n\nI had a network of colleagues, supporters, and prospects in the day; I just didn’t have enough of them, nor the knowledge fo how to make the most of them. Fast forward to 2014 when I quit my day job at the age of 51: I had a nation-wide network of people who need the services I provide—or who provided complimentary services.\n\nBy brand, I’m talking about something only you can offer your profession. If you don’t know yet what you have to offer the world of interpretation, sit down and start to write a credo.\n\nA credo is a series of “I believe” statements that help you articulate what you feel passionate about. They should be quite specific. Avoid (or edit out) writing motherhood statements: things that are so obviously true that nobody could disagree with them (“I believe people should have integrity in their work.”) Get into what makes you different from others: “I believe that interpretive panels should be site-specific exhibit labels for the outdoors, not generic Wiki pages stuck in the ground.” “I believe interpretation is most effective when the interpreter is nearly invisible.” And so on.\n\nStake your claim to your way of doing things. Make it known. Be bold. Our business is in serious need of iconoclasts right now.\n\nEarly in my freelance career I took an entry-level course in project management, using standards defined by the Project Management Institute. It has coloured everything I do and has made me far more efficient (and efficiency equals profit.)\n\nContracts under your belt\n\nDon’t think about quitting your job until you have at least a half-dozen contracts completed. With each new gig, you learn things, you establish your reputation, and you build your portfolio. Get small contracts, do your best, get feedback, use the feedback, and move on.\n\nThis is one anybody can start working on: take your resume and pull it apart. Instead of organizing by employer and period of time, organize it by project. That is to say, instead of saying “Sept 2013-March 2016, Project Coordinator at XX Aquarium” think about bullet-listing each project you did during that time.\n\nI hope this helps. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section.", null, "Interpretation and the Gig Economy", null ]

[ "A huge benefit to Core is the vast amount of visual effects that are built-in and easily editable.

As their name implies, these are applied on top of everything else in your game at the end, so they can be used to change everything visually about the game at once.", null, null, null, "You'll probably want to always use some combination of these--the amount they can level-up a map visually is huge!\n\nWhile you can use the video above if that is your preference, we'll next go over different effects in a written tutorial.\n\nJust like in the video, let's start with the most dramatic and easy of the visual effects you can use in Core: Post Process Effects!\n\nPost process effects can make very dramatic changes to a map with very little work. You can use as many of them as you want in combination, but this can eventually get tricky when you've got dozens. There are two main ways to use a post process effect: as an unbounded effect, or a bounded effect.\n\nSeveral post processing effects have both a regular version and an advanced version. Use whichever suits your needs, but in this tutorial we'll go over the advanced versions of these effects.\n\nSkills you will gain:\n\nBloom is, basically, a glow effect. It gives everything that emits light in your scene a sort of magical halo, as though the atmosphere has thickened.\n\nThe best way to test post process effects is on an already decorated map with some variety in it. For this tutorial, I grabbed some templates from Community Content. Almost all (if not truly all) of these templates were made by students at Cogswell College during Global Game Jam 2020.\n\nAmbient Occlusion (often abbreviated to AO) can be generally referred to as contact shadows. In the real world, when two objects are close together, less light is able to reach the cracks between them. So, to simulate this virtually, we use ambient occlusion!\n\nI'm going to start visually from scratch with this one, so I am back to the first image:\n\nSomething particularly fun and weird you can do with the Ambient Occlusion we made is recolor it. This can create some really wacky effects, or in general set a specific color palette for a project.\n\nThese other two images below are a general explanation, and you don't need to do them for the tutorial. Knowing how to achieve these weird effects is good though!\n\nTurning on the Use Two Colors option will give you a second color option, and using the Color Balance slider you can choose which color is more prominent in the scene. This gives you really strong control over the color palette, and lets you do particularly odd and unique things. Such as making weird radioactive shadows, if that's what makes you happy.\n\nThe other particularly interesting setting on the recolor post process is modifying Blend Weight. The lower this number is, the more intense this glow effect is. This could be used to showcase damage increasing on the player, or maybe a world on fire... whatever you can imagine!\n\nIn real life, a lens flare is a streak of light glare and sometimes a light shape floating in an image. This happens when light hits a camera lens and scatters around within all the parts that make up the lens. For some photographers, it can be annoying, but in general it is an unavoidable aspect of filming light.\n\nIn the virtual world, adding it in can make a scene feel more realistic and grand.\n\nWe'll start this section using two of the effects that we made earlier: the Advanced Bloom Post Process and the Ambient Occlusion Post Process both turned on.\n\nNow you know how to control several different post process effects. Each one in Core Content has slightly different base settings and options, but now you have enough knowledge to understand how the others work too. Have fun experimenting!\n\nThe next section of this tutorial focuses exclusively on VFX! Just like the video above, we will be making an interactable treasure chest and using the Core built-in resource system.\n\nCore includes the benefit of having an ever-expanding list of visual effect objects to work with, and thanks to the template system, we can combine these in even more unique ways to achieve whatever your vision may be.\n\nWe'll be making a treasure chest that requires an item to open!\n\nKnowledge Level: No knowledge required, but this tutorial will use some simple Lua scripting. If you've never programmed before, you might want to check out the Lua tutorial first.\n\nSkills you will gain:", null, "To start, open up a new project or whatever project you'd like to make this treasure chest in.\n\nSetting up the Treasure Chest\n\nCreating a Pickup to Unlock the Chest\n\nNow when walking up the crowbar, the player will automatically pick it up! But, it still has the coin sound effect by default, and that feels pretty weird with this object. So, let's create a new effect to play!\n\nNow if we test it--everything works correctly! But it sure looks plain and that feels bad. Let's add more effects to improve this.\n\nCreating the Opening and Locked Effects\n\nNow you've got some basic effects set up for your treasure chest! You have learned how to create effect templates by combining various visual effects with sound effects, and how to spawn them at specific times! Go forth, and make more awesome stuff.\n\nIn most cases you won't need to code to use the visual effects in Core. Often times templates will have a custom property for more effect templates, so you can make your own effects as templates and just drag and drop them into other content--just like the Fantasy Loot Bag we used.\n\nThere are so many ways that you can make effects unique. By combining several of them, changing their properties dramatically, and using them connected through code you can change the timing and positions of effects in whatever ways you can dream up." ]

[ "Despite threats of retaliation from officials in the Oakland Unified School District and the Port of Oakland, teachers and longshore workers went out on strike on April 29. They shut down public schools and the port for the entire day to protest school closures and the pending sale of Howard Terminal to the Oakland Athletics baseball team. Solidarity built the day’s actions and made them happen.", null, "The state Public Employment Relations Board denied a last-minute request for an injunction sought by OUSD. So at 6:30 a.m. April 29, picket lines were set up at every Oakland public school. This reporter joined the picketers at United for Success Academy, where not one student came to school or crossed the line.\n\nTeachers at other schools reported similar experiences. Sibling unions representing custodians and office staff told their members that they would not face retaliation for engaging in a sympathy strike.\n\nAfter taking a membership vote, the Oakland Education Association called the one-day strike to support its Unfair Labor Practices claim against OUSD for ordering the closure of up to 11 schools over the next two years without soliciting community or labor input. Many family members of students and community supporters walked the picket line in the morning at two of the schools slated for closure, La Escuelita Middle School and Parker Elementary School.\n\nSchools and labor vs. privatization\n\nTireless organizing by a new coalition, Schools and Labor Against Privatization (SLAP), provided the momentum for the one-day strike and the other actions on that day, organized by International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10, the OEA, Service Employees Union Local 1021, Oakland students, parents and community organizations.\n\nAfter the morning picket, OEA called for a family friendly “block party” at the Lake Merritt Amphitheater. There, people made signs, listened to music, ate lunch and prepared for the rest of the day. At 1 p.m., SLAP members and OEA teachers led the group to Oscar Grant Plaza for a community rally, which was joined by ILWU members after their May Day union meeting in San Francisco.\n\nHundreds of people filled the plaza in front of City Hall. As marchers entered the plaza, they were greeted by chants by Demi, an Oakland elementary school student and daughter of Misty Cross, an activist with Moms for Housing.\n\nSpeakers included Moses Omolade, an education worker from Westlake Middle School, who went on a hunger strike when the school closures were first announced. Parents of students impacted by the closures and cuts in services addressed the rally. These included Max Orozco, whose child attends La Escuelita, and Kristina Molina, a mother of children with special needs. Isaac Murillo, an eighth grade student from La Escuelita also spoke.\n\n‘Public resources for people, not billionaires’\n\nTrent Willis, past president of ILWU Local 10, spoke on behalf of his local and Longshore and Warehouse workers in Locals 6 and 34. He told of the united fight of the teachers and the longshore workers against the gentrifiers like John Fisher, the owner of the Oakland Athletics, and the charter school companies. Willis told the crowd that we are here to fight for the public resources. He stressed: “Public resources are meant for the public, not for the billionaires!”\n\nOEA President Keith Brown stated: “When we fight, we win!” He talked about the struggle of the teachers and the Oakland community against the racist closure of schools in Oakland’s Black and Brown communities.\n\nThe crowd then marched down Broadway to the empty offices of the OUSD. Since the beginning of the pandemic, its staff has been working virtually. The school district’s building has been empty for two years, while the monthly rental fee is $250,000. Yet the school district claims it has no money!\n\nA unified march of longshore workers including the ILWU Local 10 Drill Team, OEA teachers and residents of Oakland occupied the street in front of the school district’s building and continued their rally. A local community artist facilitated the painting of a mural, on which was written: “Save the schools! Save the port!”\n\nThen, at 4 p.m., hundreds of teachers, parents, and community supporters headed to the Middle Harbor, Shoreline Park in the Port of Oakland to shut down the second shift of longshore workers. This was a strong act of solidarity after a long day of picketing and marching. ILWU contracts contain language supporting their members against crossing picket lines.\n\n‘Oakland is not for sale!’\n\nMembers of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center and the Palestinian Youth Movement and Filipino activists from Gabriela stepped forward to lead picket lines at five gates at the port. Striking teachers led chants and kept the lines going. The purpose of this final act was to send a strong message to the forces of gentrification and privatization that “Oakland is not for sale!” At 7:45 p.m., the port arbitrators officially shut down the second shift.\n\nThis unified one-day strike was a first for the Oakland community and it was certainly not the last. The community will continue to fight against both the school closures and the gentrification of the Port of Oakland.\n\nThe writer is a proud member of the Oakland Education Association and a union representative for the Oakland substitute teachers." ]

In order to obtain a loan from a bank, Bharat is asked to submit some kind of guarantee. In the quest for acquiring the guarantee, Bharat contacts his paternal family after years.\n\nInstead of solving his already existing problem, he gets to know how his cunning relatives declared him dead on paper to grab his land illegally. This initiates the struggles for Bharat Lal as he invents ways to prove himself alive. Will he able to do that or he’ll have to be dead on paper forever?\n\n2011’s Pankaj Kapur starrer Chala Mussaddi… Office Office relied on a similar plot. Now, this isn’t exactly the same because Satish Kaushik backs the entire story with the authenticity it demands. Kaushik makes sure to keep the start and the end overwhelming featuring a beautiful poem, penned by Aseem, recited by Salman Khan.\n\nLazy editing, outdated direction and the plot’s monotonous nature remain to be the most noticeable roadblocks in this otherwise entertaining film. The jokes around ‘death’ fade away faster than promises made by many political parties these days.\n\nHaving a Pankaj Tripathi by your side for such a character is a gift we shouldn’t take for granted. We don’t have many actors who could pull this role with such ease. Be it giving a quirky analogy comparing loan to a dog or asking a 70-odd-years-old “Chacha, aap hai abhi?” (Uncle, you still alive?), Pankaj acts every scene like it’s his first.\n\nMonal Gajjar possesses enough charm just in her smile to lit-up even the dullest of scenes. She disguises herself as this ‘sanskari’ wife from 80s perfecting almost every trait. Amar Upadhyay, why?\n\nSatish Kaushik shouldn’t be blamed entirely for the final product as even the production value screams cost-effective. I can totally get the constraint of working under a budget, but some aspects of this film overshadow Pankaj’s powerhouse to underline mediocrity.\n\nNot a single song clicks wasting talents such as Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. I came very close to like Rahul Jain’s Jug Jug Jiyo, but its placement turned out to be a deal-breaker. The background score is a mixed bag, at times it syncs in well with the theme but then there are also times when you’d just want to un-listen certain tacky sound-effects (if that’s a thing).\n\nAll said and done, Pankaj Tripathi acts as the paper-weight holding every aspect of this story together. His scope of acting helps us to establish a connect which remains throughout the film.", null, null, null ]
