Magnolia was once known as Mink's Prairie (in the 1840s). The name was shortened to Mink in 1850, but it wasn't until 1885 when the town was granted a post office under the name of Mink.
By 1900, the population of the Montgomery County town had swollen to 25 people and two years later, with the arrival of the International-Great Northern Railroad, tiny Mink moved to the tracks, creating a new town.
The railroad wanted the town to be named Melton, which was too close (in spelling) to Milton, Texas. So to keep things simple, the town was named after the abundant Magnolia trees – and the new post office was so designated in 1903.

Sterling Silver 17x23.6mm 19 gauge Large Flower Earwire, 15.1mm Hibiscus with 2mm Open Ring ID. Order 2pcs to get one pair of earrings.
I was surprised how pretty these are in person and by the size. Once I made the finished product with them I was very pleased. They are big but I find them to be a real statement piece. I don't use them often but with special items.
The pictures online of this ear wire don't even begin to compare to show how pretty this ear wire is in real life. The flower is large so it may not be suitable for all. It will be the focus of any earring made. The only thing I would change about this ear wire is to make the leg of the actual ear wire just a bit longer. | {

THE METROPOLITAN Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has recommended to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) the narrowing down of lane width along EDSA to give way to an additional one as part of its traffic solution scheme.
"There was already a discussion with DPWH… The existing lanes will be narrowed to accommodate one more lane. So probably next year, if there will be a program and be included in the budget of DPWH," EDSA Special Traffic and Transport Zone chief Edison Nebrija, speaking in mixed English and Filipino, said in a phone interview with BusinessWorld on Thursday, Dec. 27.
Highway lane width around the world vary from 2.5 meters to 3.7 meters. According to a study by World Resources Institute in 2016, cities with travel lane widths from 2.8 to 3.25 meters have the lowest crash fatality rates per 100,000 residents.
The MMDA official said the additional lane is eyed to be for private motor vehicles only. | {

Plant a Tree for Leilani
Leilani M (Booska) Norman
September 9, 1941 ~ January 12, 2022 (age 80)
Monson-Leilani May Norman, 80, beloved wife of 62 years of Harold Richard Norman passed away on January 12, 2022. Leilani was born September 9, 1941 in Montague, MA to the late Alfred F. Booska and Mary L. (Sawyer) Keller. It is hard to summarize a life well lived in a few paragraphs. Leilani and the love of her life, Harold, were married in 1959 and the adventure began. She started knitting at the age of 6 and never stopped. You could always tell that she was feeling good when you saw her knitting, or doing any of her other crochet, needlework, or sewing projects. She always had multiple projects going and often was making things for family or charity projects, including the military.
Leilani was an avid enthusiast of life, and a lifelong learner. She always wanted to be better at whatever she was doing, and was a great example that a woman could do anything that she set her mind to. This made her a powerful role model to her children and grandchildren and made them all strive to be better and make her proud.
Leilani and Harold built a house in Montgomery, Ma, started a family, and moved to Monson, Ma in 1969. After Harold took a lapidary course, he taught her, and she went from there to become an experienced stone cutter, gemstone faceter, silversmith, goldsmith, and lost wax caster. They formed the Aloha Rock Shop aka/ Aloha Gems and Minerals. They were members of the CT Valley Mineral Club, and collected and sold at gem and mineral shows for many years. Following back surgery, that limited her mobility, her interests expanded to orchids. Harold had made the "mistake" of giving her a couple of orchids, and so started her obsession with growing them. They were members of the CT Orchid Society and joined the Amherst Orchid Society in 1987. The American Orchid Society was later joined and they traveled to attend conferences, meetings, and events connected to orchids. Their business became Aloha Enterprises, when they added orchids to their sales. They became exhibitors and vendors at the Amherst Orchid Society Spring shows, winning many awards for their exceptional plants and having many returning customers, this continued until Feb. of 2020, which was their final show. They were vendors at the Brimfield Farmers Market in the summers and had added perennials to their other offerings. She always asked people who purchased her plants to call her if they had questions or if their plant did not thrive, as she wanted to make sure that they were successful at their growing. She always felt that you could never have too much education and strived to learn something new every day.
She leaves her loving and devoted husband of 62 years, Harold R. Norman; their children; Tracy A. Norman and her husband Edward Shearer of Northfield, MA, Richard F. Norman and his wife Rosa of Goldsboro, NC, and Renee M. Lagacy and her husband John of Tehachapi, CA; a brother Steven Booska and his wife Amanda of CA; a sister Betty Moore and her husband Larry of CA; twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Leilani had always requested that she receive flowers when she was alive, and not after she had passed. She wanted to be able to enjoy them. Please honor her wishes. In her memory, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shriners Hospitals for Children, 516 Carew St. Springfield, MA 01104.
All services are private.
To send sympathy gifts to the family or plant a tree in memory of Leilani M (Booska) Norman, please visit our tribute store.
Services are to be announced | {

Family from Holland
Originally from Spain
"...[they] settled in Amsterdam after the expulsion."
"As far as I can tell from the genealogy records, [my mother's] family came from Holland in the mid-1850s and settled in the central London area in the Jewish district. My [maternal] grandfather was a cigar maker and also worked with stained glass, so he was an artisan. He did spend time in the Merchant Marines during World War I, but the family name, Decker, is most likely Dutch, and it was, I believe, originally Dukker, d-u-k-k-e-r, until they spelled it the English way.
I don't have any direct evidence, but from what my grandmother shared from her knowledge, it's believed that they were originally from Spain and settled in Amsterdam after the expulsion in the late – excuse me—in the early 1490s."

A graduate of University College of London and the London School of Economics, her inquisitive spirit has led her down diverse professional paths that have taken her everywhere from London to Bali and Milan, all whilst picking up languages as varied as French and Mandarin Chinese.

Established in 2014, A Collective is a Malta-based architecture studio founded by Steven Risiott and Patricia Grech. The duo crossed paths in 2012 with a common love for architecture, design and the Mediterranean. The collaboration was a natural consequence. With varying experiences both locally and internationally, Steve and Patty's approach to design and architecture compliments each other in a seamless manner.
The studio is growing into a collective group of creatives and passionate individuals with a love for design. The architectural team seeks to create spatial experiences moulded by fundamental architectural parameters such as space, proportions, light and materials through the disregard of stylistic materiality. The studio roots itself in contextual design, hoping to enrich the local architecture scene and enhance the quality of life of the end user. The approach is purely architectural, concerned with the infiltration of natural light and its resulting play of shadows, shaping spaces through an eclectic palette inspired by honesty, purity and nature.

Hangar challenges what a creative agency can do and be. It doesn't just promote brands — it works collaboratively with clients to improve brands, because the people at Hangar know from experience that the long-haul matters.
Hangar's vision has always been clear: it is an agency that focuses on quality rather than quantity. It is selective by design, right down to its name. A hangar is a place where engineers and designers meet to attain a high level of precision. It's a place where big things happen and ambitions are high; where it takes skill and craftsmanship to survive. That is Hangar.
Originally launched in 2012, the agency has grown to embrace an experienced and diverse team of Maltese and international talent that collaborates alongside both niche and global brands such as Lavazza, Onvoy and the Valletta Design Cluster.

Craig Macdonald & Andrew Farrugia
Co-Founders of Te fit-Tazza
Te fit-Tazza was founded in 2015 by Andrew Farrugia and Craig Macdonald, two bosom buddies with a penchant for design and all things beautiful.
The Maltese islands boast a wealth of identity, evident to the eye in how we act and we interact and, to an extent, how we present ourselves both socially and visually. It would be fair to state that this abundance of distinction may be rooted in a strong sense of tradition, pride and patriotism.
The studio began as a project aimed at showcasing Malta, her culture, her aesthetic and her beautiful landscape through minimalist illustrated prints. In 2018, Te fit-Tazza acquired the souvenir brand, Souvenirs That Don't Suck, with a store situated in Sliema. The aim is to further widen the spectrum of creative avenues that the studio can explore, whilst still celebrating the Maltese Islands and their beauty.

Natalie Rose Vella
Founder of Natalie R Vella
Natalie has been tutored at both the Academy of Freelance Makeup – one of the industries' most recognised fashion and bridal makeup academies in London and New York – as well as at The London Hair Academy for Professional Hair Styling.
What type of beauty does she pursue through her art? The effortless, raw and unrefined kind. Even dramatic looks under her makeup brushes will hold slightly natural and 'rough around the edges' qualities. For Natalie, natural can still mean bold and striking as ultimately, it's all about balance.
In 2012, Natalie relocated to London to launch her career, where she had the opportunity to work with the some of the most talented creatives and brands in the field, including London Fashion Week, NET-A-PORTER Magazine, Estée Lauder, ELLE, and Harper's Bazaar.
Natalie has recently returned to the sunny isles of Malta, where she is continuing to do what she loves through collaborations with key brands and spreading her grounded, genuine and balanced beauty aesthetic through her Instagram and YouTube channels.

Inigo Taylor
Founder at Inigo Taylor Photography
Inigo is an English photographer based in Malta who has been working on a long-term social documentary project on Malta since 2007. This continuing body of work looks at contemporary Malta and Maltese identity through colour photographs that have until now been an initial survey into Maltese society. As the project evolves, new approaches are being utilised to take the project further and look closer at the changing social landscape of the country.
Inigo graduated in 2010 from the University of Lincoln with a BA in Photographic Studies. He has photographed in countries around the world, but Malta is still his favourite subject. His main influences are British social documentary photographers including Chris Killip, Martin Parr and Paul Graham, whose unique approaches have helped guide his exploration of Malta. He is currently looking to show his work so far in an exhibition.

Gulja Holland
Ġulja Holland is a local contemporary artist notable for her psychologically-charged paintings. Her work drives through experimental styles that push through conventional aesthetic boundaries and which are themed around self-identification and socio-political issues.
In her recent portraiture series, photography and paint are combined to create what the artist refers to as 'photo-paintings'. In fusing together a realist and abstract style, the artist seeks to represent the identity as a tangible extension of one's outward appearance. Here, the influences of Neo-Expressionism and Pop Art are most evident in her work; in her use of colour, gestural style as well as in the repetition of photographic imagery; radically altered in each work in order to convey an ever-shifting stream of consciousness within her subjects.
Following her graduation from Leeds College of Art with Honors, she has recently exhibited at several international shows, including the Paragon Europe Art Exhibition at the Press Club Brussels Europe, the London Free Range show and the International Art festival Chrom-art Exhibition, London. Holland currently lives in Malta where she continues to participate in both local and international exhibitions.

Maria Shebets
Founder of Maria Shebets and My Maltese Kitchen
Travel, Photography and Cuisine
Maria Shebets was born in one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Saint Petersburg, Russia. After high school, she continued her studies at the Academy of Applied Arts in the field of antiques, after which she began dedicating time working in this very field of expertise.
Although she had always loved cooking, Maria began to realise that it was a deep-rooted passion during her numerous journeys across the world. She enjoyed tasting new ingredients, local dishes and learning how differing cultures influenced various cuisines.
It has been over seven years since Maria and her husband left their country and settled in Malta after traveling for a year in Europe. Maria had two children here whilst she continued her gastronomical journey exploring local culinary products and the Maltese food scene. This inspired her to launch a blog that is dedicated to food and life in Malta, in which she shares her recipes and local restaurant reviews with food-lovers both in Malta and beyond.
Over time, she has become even more interested in ways she could use what home-grown ingredients Malta has to offer for creating dishes she truly loves. Such dishes are not as heavy as the traditional ones but "contemporary Maltese" as Maria loves to call them. Her latest venture – My Maltese Kitchen – is a website and a book-in-the-making which aims to pay tribute to the local produce, explore the local food traditions and create new recipes.

Eliza Costabel
Creative Director at The Garden Studio
After an upbringing in North and East Africa, the Far East, Europe and the US, Eliza returned to her birth country of Malta 4 years ago and set up The Garden Studio in an effort to combine her love of nature and outdoor spaces, and her background in interior architecture.
A graduate in Interior Architectural Design from California State University, Eliza lived 15 years in Los Angeles starting her professional career in corporate interiors and later setting up her studio dedicated to smaller scale projects in residential and commercial design. This is when she discovered her passion for designing outdoor spaces as she delighted in the pleasure and speed (compared to architecture and interiors) it takes to create a beautiful green oasis
The last 7 years in Kenya further cemented her passion for nature and environmental consciousness and upon moving to Malta she saw the opportunity to set up a professional all-round design/build studio dedicated to outdoor and landscape design "the idea was not to merely plant anything green and place some outdoor furniture, but to come up with clever, innovative design solutions, styling and landscape designs to really maximise any outdoor or interior space".
Since its setup in 2015, The Garden Studio has been steadily growing its team of landscape designers, horticulturalists and builders as well as enlarging the scope of its projects and services to encompass the supply of plants and everything that is needed to create a professionally designed green space, from furniture to pots and everything in-between. Eliza and her team are regular contributors to the gardening section on local media and attend all the prominent landscaping seminars and tradeshows to keep abreast with the latest trends in the field.

Mark Pace
Founder of Saint Paul Valletta
Design & Hospitality
Mark holds a distinct eye for design that is at once both rooted in his Maltese heritage and immersed in visual elements influenced by Dutch form. A purveyor of authenticity, Mark's design vision looks to beautify through the natural and balanced. In this spirit and through Saint Paul, Mark brings to light Valletta's genuine, lesser-known soul to share with urban explorers from across the continents.
Recognised as a leading figure of the Maltese design scene, Mark's portfolio of work reflect a grounded spirit of harmony that bridges the contemporary with the authentic.

Robbie Mazzaro
Founder of RO Art Ceramics
Artistic Ceramics
Robbie was born in Venezuela – where she spent her childhood – and moved to Italy at the age of 18. Everywhere she went, she would take her with her her love for nature and for local artisanal crafts, seeking to develop these influences in her work later in life.
As a child, Robbie's mother would call her Ro, hence how the name Ro Art came to be. Robbie's passion for art started at a young age, and over the years, she has found it essential to keep her artistic passion alive. Following years working in the corporate sphere, a Ceramics Masterclass in Rome re-ignited her creative spirit, and it was then that everything clicked into place. She decided to leave her career and immerse herself solely in the world of ceramics, falling in love once again with the versatility of the clay and the entire creative process.
Robbie's inspirations are drawn from nature itself. She is fascinated by the complex and beautiful natural structures and textures found in plants, bark, seed pods, corals and shells. She loves the contrast between the rough texture, clay colour and the glossy shades of blue that speak of sea water on white sand and rocks.
Each of her pieces are hand-built with the technique of coiling or slabs in a range of different kinds of clay. Each coil is melded into the coil below, pinched, squeezed, moulded and scraped into shape. Robbie has exhibited her ceramics at trade events and contemporary ceramic and craft fairs throughout Europe, and since moving to Malta in 2014, the natural beauty of this Mediterranean island has been an additional source of inspiration for her work.

Gioia Clavenzani & Ivano Ghinelli
Co-Founders of JAD Jewellery
Hailing from different work experiences – one as a psychologist and psychotherapist, the other as a stone setter and goldsmith – Gioia and Ivano first met in Città della Pieve, Italy. In the quiet countryside between Umbria and Tuscany, with a common love for jewelelry, design and contemporary art, they opened their first Italian studio in 2011: La Fonderia dell'Oro – a big, bright workshop with fittings made from old pallets, barrel hoops and paper.
In 2015, Gioia and Ivano moved to Malta. Today, these two countries' art and nature are infinite sources of inspiration. Art and design are their "fuel", whilst the sense of nature is also part of their jewels through their rough and dull surfaces and irregular edges.
Gioia and Ivano believe art and beauty have to be easy and present in people's lives; approachable and available for the ones who search for them. Working with their hands – with art, beauty and nature always on their minds – they seek to make their lives better and to try and give back through crafting beautiful jewellery, not common but easy to use, enjoy and wear.

Julia Barker
Founder of Zen With Julia
Julia is Malta's first and only KonMari consultant in training.
A recent arrival from London, where she worked in the education sector, Julia was inspired to make decluttering and organisation her career after successfully completing the KonMari process in her own family home. A long-running love of good interior design and a deep interest in the sustainability of our home and creative spaces complemented this move perfectly.
When starting out in her career as a tidying consultant, Julia was inspired by the positive aesthetic changes that were sparked in her and her clients' personal spaces. As her practice has developed, she's found the most wonderful part of her work to be seeing the confidence of her clients increase after even one tidying lesson.
Julia's tidying lessons involve working first with clients on their vision for the ideal life, home and creative space. After using a welcoming ritual to open the space to being tidied, Julia then coaches her clients to hone their sense of personal style and joy as they work through each item in their space. Identifying creative ways to store and style possessions with her clients means that they quickly find increased mental and physical space to pursue their own creative interests more fully.

Sergio Muscat
Founder of Sergio Muscat and L'Orrse
Art, Photography and Fashion
Sergio Muscat's art is one that looks closely – that approaches, associates, combines and recombines. As inspiration for his works, he creates an ever growing digital photographic archive of the world he encounters (everyday objects, artworks, architecture, technology, nature). Sergio's archive bears testimony to the way he appropriates the world: His camera registers a subject, looks at it closely, distorts it, changes viewpoint or swirls around it. That work is then combined into his final artworks, which themselves are re-introduced into the archive as source for future work. He renders the result into both traditional fine art prints and everyday objects such as silk scarves and architectural elements, reminding us that the world is something every individual constructs from exposure, experience, memories and interests, as well as preconceptions, biases and worldviews.
Apart from, and in complement to his art, Sergio has also had an extensive career within the technology industry, which he has partly put aside to explore his own path, by founding L'Orrse, a fashion brand creating silk scarves and accessories, and recently also moving to Gozo to run Tan-Neputi Bed and Breakfast with his life partner Anna.

Lorinda Mamo
Founder of A Bird With A French Fry
Co-Founder of Belle & Beau Handmade
Creative writer, Designer and Maker
Lorinda Mamo was born and brought up in Toronto, Canada. While her formal education was based in the sciences, her heart and passion was always in art and design. She taught herself graphic and web design over the years and in 2010 she took a leap and opened a creative advertising studio (Design Chronicle Studios) with her husband. Two years later she was pregnant with her son and when she found a lack of local mothers sharing their experiences, she started her blog A Bird with a French Fry to share her journey of pregnancy and things for kids. When she found out that there was a problem with her baby, her posts started to dwindle as it was a difficult time and nothing like she expected.
One day she took the plunge to continue sharing her story, despite it not being the ideal situation. The positive and encouraging feedback she received gave her the courage to continue writing. This was even more so when she was diagnosed with cancer when her son was 10 months old. Her writing was her therapy but the lack of creativity was still lacking in her life. While waiting for her son to have his kidney transplant in London she needed to occupy her mind and began designing and creating cute accessories, gifts and home decor for little ones within the brand of her blog. Returning happiness and joy back into the world from an otherwise scary time, helped her cope with the difficult times as well as bring creativity back into her life.
In 2018, she co-founded and launched Belle & Beau with her friend Emma Diacono. This collaboration has allowed Lorinda to design and create their own line of designer bows, bow ties and other fine accessories and apparel for children. Fueled by her design and sewing skills this has continued to fulfil her love of building her own children's brands.
Lorinda continues to design and create items for both brands, manages and writes for her blog, works on freelance design jobs while taking care of her medically complex son. She is inspired by all things happy and spreads positivity through her designs, creations and written word every day.

Emma Fsadni
Illustration, Printing, and Painting
Emma Fsadni was born in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium and educated in Australia, the Netherlands and Malta where she recently received her B.A. Honours in Fine Arts from the MCAST Institute for Creative Arts, (First Class).
As an adolescent, Fsadni was absorbed in all things materialistic, however, with age came awareness, recognizing the frivolousness that such a lifestyle brings. As a result, her work addresses contemporary ideas and conflicts concentrated around society's superficiality and constructed realities.
Developed from self-reflective experiences, which are then applied in a social context, she addresses contemporary observations and conflicts surrounding themes such as idealization, habits, and perception. Fsadni translates the complexity of her concepts through means of minimal aesthetics; condensing her ideas visually, while maintaining levels of intricacy in process. Fsadni tends to gravitate towards two-dimensional media, namely illustration, printing, and painting. She finds that such mediums allow a level of sensitivity in execution to be maintained. This element of sensitivity often goes beyond this aesthetic value and extends into her works' concepts.
Following her studies, Fsadni has already taken part in a selection of collective exhibitions. She is currently working towards materializing an ongoing series of illustrative editioned gilcée prints titled REPOSE.

When you visit friends or go shopping in our villages it is often possible to take a much shorter route on foot then would be possible when driving, if you use the extensive network of public footpaths and snickets that provide short-cuts between streets.
See the map in the Civic Society newsletter for more information about these routes. Whilst we believe the snickets marked on this map are of long standing use by residents, we are not claiming a public right of way. Thank you to all the members who contributed their local knowledge to this project. | {

That is the question on everyone's mind about the upcoming weekend. Though we're dead smack in the middle of winter, there is no lack of festivities to keep you entertained. From group activities to hanging solo, there is an answer to that dreadful question leaving no excuses for your state of boredom.
3) If you are a busy body and lucky enough to have snow in your area, you can't go wrong with winter activities such as sledding, skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling. A favorite of is to pack the kids in the car and drive up to them hills, have a snow ball fight, drop down and make snow angels, and then build a huge snowman.
4) Last but not least; www.eventful.com is a great resource to find out what is happening in your area. The website lists concerts, performing arts, movies, family activities, great places to eat, and nightlife.

(Fundació CatDem) As matters currently stand and pending the discussion of some outstanding issues, the referendum for the independence of Scotland is likely to take place at some point in autumn 2014. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, a historic moment, not just for Scotland and the UK, but also for the European Union. A positive outcome would lead to a process of negotiation between the UK and the Scottish governments which, ultimately, would result in the first truly internal enlargement in the history of the European Union –not taking into account the reunification of Germany back in 1990-.
It is true that polls currently indicate that there is not a clear majority for independence in Scotland. However, it is also true that neither in 2007 nor in 2011 polls ever indicated the extension of the victories that the Scottish National Party (SNP) achieved in the respective Scottish Parliament elections. In light of the SNP's past results, we should not underestimate the Scots' capacity of medium / short-term reaction. This is more so if we take into account the long distance that the Scots have walked in just 13 years of self-government and we compare it against the distance that the Catalans have walked since the second restoration of the Catalan Generalitat, 35 years ago.
The movement for self determination is supported by Scottish Greens and Scottish Socialist Party in addition to the SNP. There is sufficient time for YesScotland campaign to gain a majority. | {

Auto body shop HR attorney: Employers can require COVID-19 vaccines — but tread carefully
By John Huetter on May 13, 2021
Announcements | Associations | Business Practices | Education | Legal | Repair Operations
Collision industry human resources attorney Cory King last month said body shops and other companies can demand workers receive COVID-19 coronavirus vaccinations. However, the business could find itself in a "pack of trouble" without first educating itself and seeking assistance on the topic, he said.
Which is a good time to bring up our usual caveat: None of the comments and analysis presented here are intended as legal advice; they're for informational purposes only. Seek qualified counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before taking any action.
"The short answer is: Yes, you can," King, an attorney at FordHarrison, said of workplace vaccination requirements. But it's more complicated than that, he told the April 21 Collision Industry Conference. King said they've seen "a lot of employers screwing up."
One of the potential pitfalls lies in the prequalification questioning prior to the vaccination. It's possible these inquiries could trigger an Americans with Disabilities Act violation — particularly if the employer hosts a vaccination clinic in-house, King warned. The employee is answering a question for the employer, and it's assumed the employer has access to the answers, he explained.
If the vaccine is strongly encouraged by the business but ultimately voluntary and the questions voluntary, the business might be on safer ground, according to King.
"Pre-vaccination medical screening questions are likely to elicit information about a disability," the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission wrote in December 2020." This means that such questions, if asked by the employer or a contractor on the employer's behalf, are 'disability-related' under the ADA. Thus, if the employer requires an employee to receive the vaccination, administered by the employer, the employer must show that these disability-related screening inquiries are 'job-related and consistent with business necessity.' To meet this standard, an employer would need to have a reasonable belief, based on objective evidence, that an employee who does not answer the questions and, therefore, does not receive a vaccination, will pose a direct threat to the health or safety of her or himself or others."
This ADA-question issue isn't a concern if employees arrange their work-mandated vaccines themselves at third-party locations, such as local drugstores, rather than through an employer-hosted clinic, according to King.
"By contrast, there are two circumstances in which disability-related screening questions can be asked without needing to satisfy the 'job-related and consistent with business necessity' requirement," the EEOC wrote in December 2020. "First, if an employer has offered a vaccination to employees on a voluntary basis (i.e. employees choose whether to be vaccinated), the ADA requires that the employee's decision to answer pre-screening, disability-related questions also must be voluntary. 42 U.S.C. 12112(d)(4)(B); 29 C.F.R. 1630.14(d). If an employee chooses not to answer these questions, the employer may decline to administer the vaccine but may not retaliate against, intimidate, or threaten the employee for refusing to answer any questions. Second, if an employee receives an employer-required vaccination from a third party that does not have a contract with the employer, such as a pharmacy or other health care provider, the ADA 'job-related and consistent with business necessity' restrictions on disability-related inquiries would not apply to the pre-vaccination medical screening questions."
However, should the employee go out to a third-party location and decline to answer the prescreening questions or are denied the vaccine because of their answers, "you cannot ask them why they did not get vaccinated," King said. Your inquiry could run afoul of the ADA and have "crossed the line into a place that you do not want to be," he said.
The company might need to accommodate the worker or give them another opportunity to pursue the vaccine, he said.
A shop might also need to be cognizant of the chance a worker might claim a religious or "sincerely held" belief exemption, something protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. An employer might have to provide reasonable accommodation in such a circumstance.
King said the law is very broad, and employers aren't allowed to ask the employee whether they sincerely hold a belief. If the employee tells you to "'go pound sand'" on Title VII grounds, "that is not the time to pick the fight," King said.
King said he's encountered numerous instances of employers who recount having told an employee, "'I don't care what the religion says'" and not to come back to work. The company felt public health trumped religion.
"Not quite," King said. In fact, the employee was "probably right," he said.
Instead, be polite, tell an employee citing a Title VII exemption that you'll look into it, and call an employment lawyer, King said. The employer could be on "very dangerous ground," but "you can make it through," King said.
It's possible the workplace can claim that accommodating a client would place an undue hardship on an employer, according to King. The EEOC as of Wednesday said the Supreme Court has defined an "undue hardship" worthy of an employer exemption as "more than a de minimis cost." The agency calls this a lower bar for employers to meet for an accommodation exemption than the "an action requiring significant difficulty or expense" definition within the ADA.
What about other reasons cited by an employee for refusing to be vaccinated, such as caution over side effects or a conspiracy theory?
Fear of the vaccine, for example, "is not going to be a protected category," King said. But an employer should contact an employment lawyer before firing such an employee or overruling their objection and ordering a vaccine, he indicated.
If the worker's argument wanders into a protected category, "you must be very, very careful," King said.
"Social, political, or economic philosophies, as well as mere personal preferences, are not religious beliefs protected by Title VII," the EEOC states. "However, overlap between a religious and political view does not place it outside the scope of Title VII's religion protections."
Many other issues might arise with employers requiring vaccinations besides the ones featured here, according to King. Potential considerations could include organized labor, OSHA regulations and wage and hour policies. We repeat: Consult with a qualified expert before taking action.
As of 6 a.m. Tuesday, 46.2 percent of the population and 58.5 percent of adult Americans (18 years or older) have received at least one vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC said 35.1 percent of Americans and 44.7 percent of adults are considered fully vaccinated.

Q: Python like Slicing operation in c++ I have following code, where 'Snap.JPG' is a RGB format type.
import cv2
img = cv2.imread("./Snap.JPG")
img[:,:,:2] = 255
cv2.imshow("Img", img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
I want to convert this code into c++. What is the fastest way to implement img[:,:,:2] = 255 part of the code? Channel splitting and merging is one of the options i know, but is there any smarter way to do slicing in c++?
Edit:
Apologies, i should have mentioned what i want in the output. I need a fading effect, because i wanted to overlay a drawing on top of it.
A: This is an example of how to change pixels:
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
cv::Mat src_image = cv::imread("image.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
if(!src_image.data) {
std::cout << "Error: the image wasn't correctly loaded." << std::endl;
return -1;
}
cv::Mat image = src_image.clone();
// We iterate over all pixels of the image
for(int r = 0; r < image.rows; r++) {
// We obtain a pointer to the beginning of row r
cv::Vec3b* ptr = image.ptr<cv::Vec3b>(r);
for(int c = 0; c < image.cols; c++) {
ptr[c] = cv::Vec3b(255, 255, ptr[c][2]);
}
}
cv::imshow("Inverted Image", image);
cv::waitKey();
return 0;
}
A: Thanks for @Manuel's reply, it works quite well. but i could achieve the same result with faster speeds. I have added my code snippets inline your code.
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
clock_t start, end;
cv::Mat src_image = cv::imread("Snap.JPG", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
if(!src_image.data) {
std::cout << "Error: the image wasn't correctly loaded." << std::endl;
return -1;
}
/* 1st method */
cv::Mat image = src_image.clone();
start = clock();
// We iterate over all pixels of the image
for(int r = 0; r < image.rows; r++) {
// We obtain a pointer to the beginning of row r
cv::Vec3b* ptr = image.ptr<cv::Vec3b>(r);
for(int c = 0; c < image.cols; c++) {
ptr[c] = cv::Vec3b(255, 255, ptr[c][2]);
}
}
end = clock();
double time_taken = double(end - start) / double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
std::cout << "Time taken by 1st method : " << std::fixed << time_taken << std::setprecision(5);
std::cout << " sec " << std::endl;
/* 2nd Method */
start = clock();
src_image = src_image | cv::Scalar(255, 255, 0);
end = clock();
time_taken = double(end - start) / double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
std::cout << "Time taken by 2nd method : " << std::fixed << time_taken << std::setprecision(5);
std::cout << " sec " << std::endl;
bool isEqual = (sum(src_image != image) == cv::Scalar(0,0,0,0));
if (isEqual)
{
std::cout << "\nIdentical Mats !" << std::endl;
}
cv::imshow("Inverted Image", image);
cv::waitKey();
return 0;
}
output is following:
Time taken by 1st method : 0.001765 sec
Time taken by 2nd method : 0.00011 sec
Identical Mats !

Two families . . . One bloodline . . . and a city named Jerusalem
When Bilal, a radicalised Palestinian youth, is shot during a botched terrorist attack, his life is saved by a young Jewish surgeon, Yael Cohen. But when Yael makes the startling discovery that her DNA is identical with Bilal's, they become caught up in a high-stakes conspiracy – a disturbing plot that will blow the region to pieces and stun the world with its audacity.
But unknown to Bilal and Yael, theirs is the last and bloody chapter in a story that crosses millennia. Century after century, two ancient families – bloodline ancestors of Yael and Bilal – defied the corrupt power of kings and conquerors, and their struggles forged a fiercely proud people and an enduring hope for peace. But through war and atrocity, kinships were shattered, forcing dynasties apart and allowing evil to gain a foothold.
And in modern Israel, confronted with exposure, those sinister forces will do anything to take control of the Holy Land and silence Yael and Bilal, who must run for their lives. Through imprisonment, assassination attempts and political machinations, they must ultimately confront the truth of who they are.
But is blood enough?

Summer sweat pays off for Student Engagement
From left, Brittney Calton, Kaitlin Runion, Cody Dumas, Pablo Ciscomani and Jeremy Mack, Director of Student Engagement, discuss plans for the upcoming school year all designed to welcome and engage GCU students.
Story by Theresa Smith

"Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.''
The classic summer lyric by Seals and Crofts evokes a laid-back aura, yet the atmosphere in Grand Canyon University's Student Engagement offices on a late June day kindle a decidedly different feeling. With hundreds of events to plan for the 2018-19 school year, it is not the time for the Student Engagement staff to relax.
Jeremy Mack, Director of Student Engagement, oversees 13 staffers who lead Associated Students of GCU (ASGCU), Canyon Activities Board (CAB), Clubs and Organizations, Commuters, Diversity Office, ROTC, Veteran's Center and Thunderground. Each Student Engagement staff member oversees dozens of student leaders.
In the 2017-18 academic year, 583 activities fell under the umbrella of Student Engagement, not including hundreds of events planned and executed by the 126 clubs on campus. Although the number of events is staggering, it is not critical, according to Mack.
"It's not the volume (of events) but the engagement,'' Mack said. "We want to make students feel welcome on campus while making friends. We want to help students engage with other students, from the largest club, AZ HOSA (Arizona HOSA-Future Health Professionals, formerly known as Health Occupations Students of America), one of the largest nursing clubs in the nation with more than 400 members, to small and large events, from Mr. GCU, to Winter Fest, to the Hanging of the Greens.''
Brittney Calton, Associated Students program coordinator, oversees three teams within ASGCU: Freshmen Class Council, Diversity Council and Volunteer GCU.
Her work with students over the summer began on June 25, when the four ASGCU executives arrived on campus to begin their preparations, including helping plan approximately 50 events during Welcome Week. The week involves more than 1,000 student volunteers, including approximately 50 in ASGCU leadership roles.
"ASGCU are scholarship student leaders who were selected for their roles,'' Calton said. "They applied, they were interviewed and were selected. They serve the student body — that's their purpose, to give either a service or a program for the student body.''
While gaining leadership experience is often emphasized in preparation for college, Calton and other Student Engagement staff members do not require applicants to be experienced leaders.
"One thing that we really appreciate about our students is that they have diverse backgrounds and interests,'' Calton said. "Some of them, maybe they weren't involved in high school, and they regretted it, and they are just looking for a way to get involved. So they go out on a limb and they apply, and we see something in them that we want to invest in, so we offer them a position. Many of them are returning from last year, and now they've moved up, and they have more of a supervisory role."
Four criterion are critical: being teachable, being available, being responsible and having a good attitude, according to Calton.
Fitting the criterion is the 2018-19 student executive team: president Noah Wolfe, executive vice president Stephen Steininger, chief of staff Aly Halbakken and administrative vice president Tim McGill. They arrived on campus on June 25 to prepare for the fall semester.
"They hit the ground running and we started cranking on the planning, the goals and the outcomes for the entire year for their team,'' Calton said. "Because it is student government and it is their administration, we guide them, but we let them be very creative in the campaigns they choose to run, and the initiatives they want to pursue.''
For 25 hours per week, in exchange for summer housing and a summer meal plan, the student executive team works with Mack; Calton; Pablo Ciscomani, clubs and commuter coordinator; Cody Dumas, student government coordinator; and Kaitlin Runion, clubs and organizations coordinator.
"We'll show them the shared access to the drive where all the files are stored from previous years and the current year. That's where a bulk of the planning happens,'' Calton said. "We'll go over budget procedures, we'll go over corrective action, which is discipline process, we'll go over public speaking, and we'll go over relational communication — so how do you talk to a new student who comes to your event, how do you befriend them and make them feel comfortable?''
The training, known as summer intensives, occur twice per week for two hours each.
Planning events for Welcome Week is among the most time-sensitive matters. Ignite, for example, is one of the most spiritual events, as students gather in the darkness on the quad, light a candle, say a prayer and dedicate the new school year in a positive and profound way. Wolfe will make a speech and Pastor Tim Griffin, Dean of Students, will offer a blessing.
"It is a very special event,'' Calton said.
Calton and Runion talk about upcoming activities at GCU.
Ciscomani guides the clubs as they plan events and seek ways to add members. Among the most unique clubs is Medieval Combat Club, which grew from a group of students casually meeting to official club status in 2017.
"It involves larping (Live Action Role Play), where a bunch of students get together and use rope swords, cardboard armor and engage in live action role play fights and battles,'' Ciscomani said.
"That's always fun. I love that club, in particular, because it provides an area of community for students who might not have found it in any other club, like HOSA, or academic clubs, or even the social clubs, like Lopes Outdoors. This is a very unique population of students who have found a sense of belonging in the Medieval Combat Club
"That's why I love doing what I do; it's not because, 'Oh, we have all these clubs.' I look at all these clubs as an opportunity for a student coming into school to say, 'Oh where do I fit in?' We have over 100 different clubs you can fit into, or we have all these different events, through ASGCU, HOSA or the CAB or spiritual life; there is always something for students to find their niche in.''
Several clubs are applying for grants this summer for Welcome Week, including the Forensics Science Club, which plans a mock crime scene designed to teach students how to fingerprint, like CSI (Crime Scene Investigation). The computing club seeks funds to develop a new chip, and the Modern Board Gamers Guild is using funds to buy numerous board games for a board game night. The Hip Hop Club and Lindy Lopes are planning events while eSports strategizes to attract even more club members at the Fall Club Fair on Aug. 27.
As campus enrollment continues to grow, Ciscomani strives to meet new needs.
"With more students, there are more passions, which leads to creating a club we do not have or joining a club we already have and making that bigger,'' he said.
Club collaboration is also part of summer planning as the Black Student Union, Latino Student Union, Hui Aloha and Filipino-American Student Association are working together to organize a celebration during Welcome Week.
"It will be a time for different dishes to be shared, and different performances,'' Ciscomani said. "I love it when our clubs collaborate and do something bigger than they could do individually. "
The bottom line is engaging students, and if it requires summer sweat instead of summer chill, then Seals and Crofts will have to wait.

Ex-negotiator: China may be signaling it's going hard-line — but it still wants a trade deal
Former top White House trade negotiator Clete Willems
China may have just signaled it's going more hard-line on trade, but it could actually be a good thing, former top White House trade negotiator Clete Willems, told CNBC on Wednesday.
Beijing added a new member to its negotiating team last week: Commerce Minister Zhong Shan, who's seen by many officials in Washington as a hard-liner. It could be a sign that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is standing firm on trade, analysts say.
The Chinese minister was present at last month's G20 summit. He also participated in a phone conversation with US trade representatives last week.
By adding Zhong to the negotiating team, it shows that Xi is trying to win over the hard-liners, said Willems, who left his role as deputy director of the National Economic Council (NEC) in March.
"China has now elevated its commerce minister Zhong Shan and made him a part of the core negotiating team along with (Vice Premier) Liu He. A lot of people are nervous — he's seen as a hard-liner," Willems told CNBC's 'Squawk Box'.
But he's not overly concerned.
"I actually think it's a good thing because what it shows is that President Xi is trying to get buy-in from both the hard-line within China and the reformers, which is going to be necessary ingredients for a deal," Willems said.
"President Xi is only going to be able to get a deal if the hard-liners are bought in," he added.
Flexibility needed
Willems has served as the lead trade negotiator for the US at summits like the G7 and G20, and also participated in trade talks in Washington and Beijing. He was a right-hand man to NEC Director Larry Kudlow on trade with China.
According to Willems, the Chinese team did try to 'show flexibility' during the talks, but things turned around after they returned to Beijing.
"What ended up happening is that when Liu He brought the deal back to President Xi and to the entire political class in China, there was a bit of a rebellion from hard-liners who didn't think the deal was good from China's standpoint," Willems said.
"So there's going to need to be flexibility, but I think China has shown they're willing to put these things on the table," added Willems, who's now a partner at international law firm Akin Gump.
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that there's still a long way to go to reach a deal with China. He also threatened to slap tariffs on another $325 billion of Chinese goods.
But Willems told CNBC that a deal will ultimately be reached.
"My inclination is that we will get a deal, I think that a lot of really good work was done. I think it's in both sides' interest to harvest that work," he said.
"I think China's economy — whether or not they want to admit it — is in a little bit of a difficult situation, and it's in their interest to get a deal."
The prolonged trade battle seems to be taking a toll on the Chinese economy. Data on Monday showed its economic growth slowed to 6.2 percent in the second quarter — the weakest rate in at least 27 years.

Student Experiences & Engagement »
Diversity & Cultural Engagement
sjretreat_background.png
There are several retreats that support social change offered at Oregon State: Racial Aikido, Multiracial Aikido, International Student Social Justice Retreat, and Examining White Identity in a Multicultural World. As a partnership between Community Engagement & Leadership (CEL), Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), Diversity & Cultural Engagement (DCE), Office of Institutional Diversity, and University Housing & Dining Services (UHDS), these weekend long retreats promote a campus dialogue about race and racism. Each of the retreats engage in the active exploration of the concept of race and how race influences our lived experiences and interactions.
Racial Aikido Retreat
Racial Aikido explores the experiences of Students of Color (SOC) at OSU and beyond. Our focus for the 2021 experience is on community-building, the recognition of identity and racism, and response and replenishment to these realities. Our goal is to build a supportive network to learn and thrive at OSU and beyond.
For more information or any accommodations related to disabilities, please contact: [email protected]
Multiracial Aikido
Multiracial Aikido (MRA) is founded on the principles and history of the Racial Aikido retreat. MRA explores systems of racial oppression and centers experiences of multiracial, multiethnic, transracial, and mixed heritage individuals.
We offer a supportive learning environment for participants to unpack racial and ethnic identity through storytelling and to build a community of peers and mentors who support their growth. We hope that by the end of the retreat participants will have found commonality in their various experiences and identify tools to navigate, heal, and make meaning as racialized beings in a U.S. context.
International Student Social Justice Retreat
The International Students' Social Justice Retreat was launched at OSU in February 2016 in the spirit of initiating dialogue on issues of diversity, ethnicity, race, and nationality in the U.S., this retreat helps international students understand the socio-historical American narrative on race and ethnicity, and provides international students with skills to manage and disrupt discrimination based on their perceived identities.
Examining White Identity
This 3 part series is designed for White-identified students to deepen their understanding of and commitment to racial justice work and anti-racism practice. Participants will engage in storytelling, dialogue, embodiment exercises, and more in order to gain strategies and tools for engaging in racial justice conversations, disrupting racism, and identifying next steps on their personal journeys. Together, we will explore how anchoring this work to love increases our ability to develop authentic relationships and sustain engagement over the long term. This offering is a part of a movement to grow a community of White-identified students committed to racial justice at OSU. Join us!
Student Affairs is dedicated to principles of equity and social justice, and as such, all of our events and programs are inclusive to all who are committed to transformative learning.

Enjoyable little app for basic photo enhancements.
XnRetro is the little sibling of the more comprehensive XnView. The app is pretty much hassle-free and user-friendly, but it offers limited tools. XnRetro is an okay photo companion for users who need all the essential features that make a photography app usable, from processing to sharing, without sophistications and convoluted controls.
Open photos in other apps.
XnRetro is a very straightforward app with basic features for simple and quick photo enhancements. It comes with a reasonable collection of retro looking filters and frames ready to use. It includes several light textures (leaks, bokeh, and other effects) with adjustable opacity, vignette styles, and the possibility to add grain and to edit brightness, contrast and saturation of images. Edited photos can be posted to Facebook and Twitter, can be uploaded to Dropbox or can be sent via email, also as PDF files. Moreover, photos can be opened in other apps for further editing.
Unfortunately, the app doesn't allow full resolution saving (the maximum I managed to save is 1536 x 1560); apparently, from the in-app settings you can select an option for exporting original sized images to the device's photo library, but I couldn't get it to work. Even with its limitations, XnRetro does a bit of everything average users will need for their pictures. Casual shooters and people willing to share photos after applying slight modifications, attractive retro looking filters, and fancy borders will definitely have fun with this app.
XnRetro works both on iPhone and iPad. The app is currently free in the App Store (previously it was $0.99). If you are curious, give it a try now. | {

Post-earthquake seismic reflection survey, Christchurch, New Zealand, with some new insights into faults
Dr. Don Lawton
Dept.of Geoscience, U of C
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013 – 10:30 AM MST
On September 4, 2010, an earthquake struck the Christchurch region in New Zealand. The Mw 7.1 quake was centered about 40 km west of the city of Christchurch and caused significant damage but no loss of life. A key manifestation of the earthquake was a fault (Greendale Fault) that ruptured to the ground surface with a maximum dextral displacement of 5.1 m and a vertical displacement of 1.5 m, upthrown to the south. On February 22, 2011, a Mw 6.2 aftershock struck with a shallow hypocenter very close to Christchurch. This earthquake resulted in the loss of 182 lives and devastating damage (|$23B) to the city infrastructure. Since September, 2010, the region has experienced over 10,500 aftershocks, with 42 of these being greater than 5M.
Approximately 45 line-km of high-fold reflection seismic data were recorded in and around Christchurch following the February 22, 2011 aftershock. The goal of the seismic program was to map previously unknown shallow faults in and around the city for hazard assessment and to assist in the post-earthquake recovery effort. Reflection seismic data were collected along six 2D lines, two of which were within the Christchurch metropolitan area and four were in rural areas west of the city. Recording conditions were challenging within the city, but good quality images were obtained along all of the seismic lines, with events interpretable to a depth of approximately 1.5 km. Numerous faults were imaged along the lines and these were interpreted in two groups - older faults that showed clear offsets in deep (> 1 km) reflections and younger faults that showed displacement in shallow reflections. Some faults in the latter group were interpreted to be directly associated with hypocentres of the earthquake and aftershocks.
Don Lawton is a Professor of Geophysics and Chair in Exploration Geophysics in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Calgary. His research interests include acquisition, processing and interpretation of multicomponent seismic data, seismic anisotropy, integrated geophysical and geological studies in complex geological settings, and geological storage of CO2. He is an Associate Director of the Consortium for Research in Elastic Wave Exploration Seismology (CREWES) and is Theme Lead in Secure Carbon Storage for Carbon Management Canada, a Network of Centres of Excellence. In 2011 he led a team from the University of Calgary and CREWES to New Zealand for seismic imaging below the City of Christchurch following a devastating earthquake there. He is a past Editor of the Canadian Journal of Exploration Geophysics, and was a recipient of a Meritorious Service Award from the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) in 1996 and the CSEG Medal in 2000. He is a member of SEG, AAPG, EAGE, CSEG, CSPG, ASEG, and APEGA. | {

Inside Neil Young's Nature-Themed Opus
After a divorce, he's back in L.A. with a new band and a new love. But he's still got plenty to be pissed off about.
By Patrick Doyle
You can hear him from the hallway. Neil Young is kicked back on a couch in the centre of his suite at New York's Carlyle Hotel one recent morning, stabbing away at the strings of his acoustic guitar. His wet hair is combed back and he's wearing a T-shirt that says "Earth," with jeans and sandals. He places his beat-up 1940s Martin – previous owner: Hank Williams – next to him on the couch. "Sit down, make yourself at home," he says. Just then, his Samsung phone rings; the ringtone is his own voice shouting "Hello?!" He picks up – a wrong number. "I'll just turn it off, that'll solve it."
Young is in the middle of a quick New York trip, and, as is typical for him, his schedule is ever-shifting. He just decided to do a sketch on The Tonight Show, forcing his team to cancel several interviews today. In front of Young are lyrics to the comedy bit, a song called "Two Neil Youngs Sitting on a Tree Stump," sent to him by Jimmy Fallon. Young doesn't like singing his own name, so he's been tweaking the words with help from his manager, Elliot Roberts. "You're gonna get a credit on this one," Young says to Roberts with a smile.
Roberts, 73, has worked with Young since the late Sixties, and the two still speak several times a day. "I've never seen him happier," Roberts says. That's a recent development, however. In the past few years, several of Young's close pals died, including longtime film collaborator Larry Johnson and guitarist Ben Keith – losses that Young took hard. Then, in 2014, he parted ways with Pegi Young, his wife of 36 years, and moved out of Broken Arrow Ranch, the property in Redwood City, California, he had since 1970. "I got a divorce, and I gave my wife the ranch," he says matter-of-factly. (His son Ben, who has cerebral palsy, still lives at the ranch: "All his support systems are there.")

Young is dating actress Daryl Hannah, who said a big hello as she stepped into the hotel elevator just now. The couple live in L.A., putting Young in the city "for the first time since Zuma." The move has allowed Young to reconnect with several old friends. "I was so remote for so long," he says. "All my old friends are now just a few miles away." One is Stephen Stills, who's been making music with Young lately. Stills and other friends, including Graham Nash and the members of Crazy Horse, celebrated Young's 70th birthday in November at L.A.'s Roxy. "Daryl put together a great party," Young says. "I felt really loved."
Hannah has helped Young focus on his health, with an organic diet, regular Pilates and a lot of walking. "I like to listen to the animals," he says. "I like to track the beauty of what's going on. I enjoy being with the plants and stuff." Young aimed to capture that beauty on Earth, a new live album featuring his most environmentally conscious songs, from "After the Gold Rush" to tracks from last year's The Monsanto Years, on which he attacked the agrochemical giant as a jumping-off point to sound the alarm on the planet's decline. Young spent months enhancing Earth with animal and nature sounds – bees, roosters, crashing waves – that he recorded himself near his house. "There's a lot going on in the world that isn't all lovey-dovey and cool beach songs," he says. "I've done all of that." A week after Earth's release, Young put out a new version of Human Highway, a 1982 film comedy that he co-directed, about a nuclear disaster that ends the world.
"I arrived in L.A. and joined Buffalo Springfield in 1966," Young continues. "Since then, we've lost 90 percent of the fish we eat from the ocean. There's only 10 percent of them left, and there's three times as many of us." He shakes his head. "It's math."
Even for Young, the past decade has been full of left turns. He finally agreed to a Buffalo Springfield reunion tour in 2011, but canceled it after seven shows because he was disappointed with their playing, according to a representative for Young. He's ramped up his output, releasing theme albums like Fork in the Road, a love letter to his custom electric Lincoln Continental, and A Letter Home, cut in a 1947 recording booth at Third Man Records in Nashville. "This is the age where you should have freedom to do whatever you want and put it out."
"They're much better players than I am," Young says of his Promise of the Real bandmates. Jay Blakesberg
The only problem, according to Young, is getting that music heard. His music is not available on streaming services aside from Tidal, which supports high-quality audio. He spent several years developing his high-resolution Pono music player, which has struggled to catch on. "Technology has done a disservice to music," he says. "I think there's a place for rebel radio, with special receivers, where jocks play what they want: vinyl, new stuff, old stuff, and it's all analog. Because there's no variety. It's all, like, GMO music."
But Young has plowed ahead anyway. "Just because everything else is broken doesn't mean I have to be broken," he says. On Earth, he's backed by Promise of the Real, a band featuring Willie Nelson's sons Lukas, 27, and Micah, 26. Young first played with them at Farm Aid in 2014, and they have been with him since. They usually join Young onstage after his acoustic set, and roadies in hazmat suits pretend to spray the stage with chemicals. "They have no fear," says Young, who loves the three-guitar attack he forms with the Nelsons. "They're much better players than I am. Lukas is like a gunslinger, and Micah is very ethereal and spaced. So they're completely different, and I'm somewhere in between." Where Crazy Horse attack Young's songs with a garage-y simplicity, Promise of the Real add virtuosity and youthful energy. They grew up on Young's songs (their band name is inspired by a lyric from "Walk On"), and they've learned more than 100 of them, playing three-hour sets including rarities like 1974's "Vampire Blues." "I've always wanted to do this, but no one has ever been able to follow it," Young says.
Recording The Monsanto Years, Young and the band drank lots of Amazonian yerba maté tea and smoked homegrown pot in the studio. "He seems like he's 25," says Micah. "He gets deeper with age. And danker."
After he wraps his current tour in October, Young will continue work on Archives II, the follow-up to 2009's Archives, which collected unreleased material up to 1972. Young says the project will include Dume, an album of songs from the Zuma era, and Hitchhiker, an acoustic LP from the mid-Seventies. The major holdup has been developing technology for presenting the ambitious project: "We're gonna have a website that's, like, 60 years of music in chronological order, with links so you can look at my archives and play the music off the high-res source at the same time." So what's it like to reflect on all he's accomplished over the years? "I don't," he says. "I need to take a break and go to the bathroom."
In October, Young and Promise of the Real will play California's Desert Trip, with Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, the Who, the Rolling Stones and Roger Waters. "I was amazed that I was asked to be in it," Young says. But don't expect him to cater to the audience with a set full of hits. "I don't give a shit," he says. "I don't care what people want to hear – that's not why I'm playing. I'm not an entertainer in the classic sense. I play what I feel like playing, and I hope the people like it."

All US politicians should be pro-sex education in post-Roe world
By Teresa Blackmon On Jul 2, 2022
I'm not here to take a stance on abortion. Debates are raging on both sides, but it doesn't change the fact our Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, and now millions of women in more than a dozen states who previously had access to abortion soon no longer will.
Now that we've got here, the question is: how we can minimize the number of women who experience unwanted pregnancy in the first place — particularly in states where access to abortion is now restricted? It's a utilitarian question of harm reduction, and the glaring answer is sexual education.
Although concrete statistics are difficult to come by, it is estimated that about half of women who get abortions are using no form of birth control whatsoever at the time of conception, and a further 41 percent are doing so inconsistently. This status quo — where birth control usage is lax and one in five pregnancies is terminated — needs to change.
This past week the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade leaving the abortion issue to individual states.
Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP, Pool, File
It's also an indictment of our education system. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than half of high schools and less than a fifth of middle schools cover the 20 recommended components of sexual education. And, according to surveys of students, the situation is only getting worse. The share of girls who say they received information about where to get birth control before they had sex for the first time has fallen from 87 percent to 64 percent since 1995.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that America experiences higher rates of teen pregnancy than most other developed nations. Comprehensive sexual education is associated with a lower risk of teen pregnancy — and lifelong empowerment to take control of one's reproductive destiny.
America experiences higher rates of teen pregnancy than most other developed nations. Sexual education has been shown to lower these rates.
Much of this comes down to state and local legislation. Today, only 30 states and the District of Columbia mandate sexual education, just 22 require that instruction be medically and factually accurate, and a mere 19 require that methods of contraception be covered at all.
Ironically, many of the states now restricting access to abortion either don't require sexual education or stress abstinence in their instruction. That must change. More than half of American teens will engage in intercourse by the time they graduate. Human beings have sex, and pretending otherwise is foolish. Teaching them to do so responsibly is the only realistic path forward.
Education must be used to change the status quo where one in five pregnancies are terminated.
REUTERS/Shannon VanRaes
Every single US lawmaker — and particularly every pro-life lawmaker — should be proposing bills to shore-up sexual education in schools. Empowering the post-Roe generation to engage in responsible sex is the least we can do, and legislators would find it's a vote winner, too. A whopping 89 percent of likely voters say sex education is important in middle school, and an overwhelming 98 percent think it's important in high school.
Now that abortion is no longer legal in many states, we should encourage teenagers to avoid getting pregnant — by teaching them about contraception via sexual education in school.
Meanwhile, American parents should also be demanding better reproductive education for their kids. In many areas, sexual education policy falls to local school boards. Just as hordes of concerned parents recently protested the politicization of their kid's curricula at school board meetings, they should call for comprehensive sexual education from their local officials now, too.
The bottom line: sex education is more important than ever in a post-Roe world. We must empower the next generation of women with the knowledge to help them take charge of their reproductive freedom.

The University of Ibadan (UI) Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka has met with student leaders across the faculties on June 5, 2018 where he declared that he was not against student unionism, but he would not allow the students to overstay in school in the name of unionism while their mates in private universities graduate on record time.
The student representatives including Hall Chairmen and Secretaries, Faculty Presidents as well as other interested students met with the ice chancellor at the Senate Chamber to raise various issues with the management as solutions and suggestions were proffered.
The vice chancellor, who was meeting the broad spectrum of student representatives for the first time after the suspension of unionism, remarked that he had always wanted a forum where he could regularly get students' input into the running of the university.
The vice chancellor explained the management's positions on some of the contentious issues when the forum became more lively as student representatives began to engaged him on various matters of interest including the restoration of student union.
"I want you to convince me on what you are missing with the suspension of unionism by the Senate. Your primary reason of coming to this university is to get a degree. It is our responsibility to ensure that you achieve that goal and move on to become successful in life. I am not against unionism, but you will agree with me that this thing has been counterproductive." Prof. Olayinka said.
"Do you know how much of time we have lost to needless crises occasioned by unionisms of various nature? I think we should reason over the one we have control over and be realistic. During Prof. Falase and Prof. Bamiro's tenure, student union was suspended for 10 years. I don't think those students who passed through UI during that period are inferior in any way! Please, let us think about how you can get your degree on time because I know that union Presidency is not a degree", he stated.
Prof. Olayinka announced, on water and other municipal services that the university had hired a contractor to rehabilitate and dig more boreholes in order to ensure that water flows in all the hostels and toilets.
A student from Queen Idia hall attested to the improved availability of light and water, therefore commending the Management for the relentless effort to ensure that the learning environment is conducive.
The Vice Chancellor summoned the Director of Information Technology and Media Services (ITeMs), Mrs. Abiodun Alao who explained the issue of identity card that contrary to insinuation that the Cards were not smart ones, "the fact that the chips were not feasible didn't make the cards ordinary", adding that students will soon begin to see the functionality of the card when the second phase of the project is launched very soon.
She stated that the money being paid for the identity card each session was for revalidation and not that the university was cheating the students by repeated payment for the same product.
On the money being charged on unionism when the union has been suspended, the vice chancellor asked the Bursar to refund the money, urging the students to write to the student affairs on any matter of interest, just as he freely gave out his e-mail address and phone number to the students.
The Dean of student affairs, Prof. Ajuwape in his own words also attested that the vice chancellor had approved purchase of various needs towards making water available all the time through water tankers.
Present at the meeting are the Vice chancellor, Professor Idowu Olayinka, Deputy Vice Chancellor (academic), Prof. Adeyinka Aderinto, the Registrar, Mrs. Olubunmi Faluyi, University Bursar, Dr. Micheal Alatise, Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. A.T.P. Ajuwape and his Deputy, Prof. A. Abiona, hall and faculty student leaders. | {

Heat oil in a pan and saute chicken for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Just brown the ingredients to seal off the flavours but don't cook completely - this is done in the oven. Add garlic, spring onions, corn and capsicum and cook for 2 minutes or until vegetables have heated through. Reduce heat and stir through the asparagus, then stir through remaining ingredients to coat well. Stir the sauce through the sauteed chicken and vegetables and allow to cool. Never add hot filling to raw pastry.
Melt the butter over a medium heat and add the flour, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the chicken stock stirring to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until a thickish sauce consistency is achieved.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub through the flour until a breadcrumb appearance is reached. Add the cold water gradually and incorporate until a soft dough consistency is formed. Turn out and knead on a floured surface until smooth.
Line a 22cm pie dish with half the prepared pastry. Trim the pastry around the edges of the tin. Add the pie filling, push down well and cover with remaining pastry (or you may prefer to use puff pastry for the top). Tuck edges into the side of pie tin to neatly seal the top. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with cornmeal and make 2-3 small cuts in top of pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake in preheated 190C oven for 30 minutes, or until pastry is cooked through and filling is hot. Serves 6. | {

November 10th: 9:30AM-12:00PM - @ ALLIANCE FRANCAIS
An award winning documentary filmmaker, veteran of independent American cinema, Henry Corra's mentorship gets an international spin. He has just completed a series of very successful masterclasses given to art and film students in Russia called "LIVING CINEMA: I am a performance artist trapped in the body of a documentary filmmaker." Using illustrations of his work, he opens up lively and inspiring discussions about process, motive, method, the importance of not knowing, failing beautifully, necessary crisis, taking EVERYTHING personally, and creating a permission bubble for yourself as a working artist. We are excited to offer this masterclass at the Colours of the Nile IFF 2012.
Henry Corra is a New York City-based documentary filmmaker. His work is influenced by cinéma vérité filmmakers David and Albert Maysles (Salesman, Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter) whom he collaborated with from 1981-1994. Since 1994, Corra has had a thriving production company. He draws on the talents of some of New York's most innovative and original filmmakers, editors, artists, musicians and designers.
Corra's films (such as George, Same Sex America, Frames) have been exhibited worldwide in theatrical venues in New York City, San Francisco, Paris and Berlin and in broadcast venues including HBO, Showtime, LOGO, CBS, PBS, VH1, ARTE andChannel 4. His works have also been exhibited in museum and cultural venues including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Louvre (Paris) and the National Gallery of Art(Washington, DC), as well as the Pacific Film Archives in San Francisco.
He's created episodic TV projects (such as "True Life: I'm Ex-Amish") for broadcasters including MTV, VH1, Bravo and the Sundance Channel and he's been singled out as one of their foremost directors of ʻreal-people' commercials in America, creating compelling broadcast/web content for brands as diverse as Mercedes Benz, Mastercard & Wal-mart. Corra's latest feature documentary, The Disappearance of McKinley Nolan, supported by the Sundance Institute and co-produced by NY based Louverture Films (Black Power Mixtape, Bamako), had its World Premiere at Silverdocs in June 2010. Michael Atkinson of The Boston Phoenix wrote, "An investigative doc brimming with cultural resonance and historical savvy, Henry Corra's film has a hold of a pungent story – that of the titular black Texan fella who vanished in Vietnam 40 years ago."
Currently Corra is finishing Farewell to Hollywood, expected to premiere Spring 2013.

Bananas are finicky creatures. Our experience in the Ross household is that bananas go from green to brown practically overnight. We received a banana holder for Christmas, which helps somewhat with the rapid bruising and over-ripening, but I still find myself with brown bananas by the end of each week.
Does anyone else have this situation going on in their kitchen?
Tired of baking the exact same banana bread week after week, I did some investigating and found these delicious recipes!
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
2. Mix the buttermilk, egg, butter and bananas in another bowl.
3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients making sure to not over mix.
4. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.
We Santa Feans have been so blessed this season (knock on wood) to not have any fires in our area of the National Forest. We've had more rain and moisture this year than previous years, and the wilderness is so lush and green right now, with wild flowers in bloom and colorful, tiny butterflies fluttering about. I took Kua on a run up to Puerto Nambe yesterday, a clearing in the woods on the way to Santa Fe Baldy. It was such a beautiful day!
I've been a little MIA lately. I just got back from a week-long vacation to the East Coast, where I soaked up some sun at Virginia Beach, laughed with my mom and sister over Sangria and Chardonnay, and read a whole stack of good books. I love the landscape, mountains, and (non-humid) weather in Santa Fe, but I yearn for water! It was so wonderful to spend a whole vacation enjoying the Atlantic Ocean, the Charles River and bays in Boston, and the Saco River in New Hampshire.
My mom, sister and I enjoy paddle boarding in Rudee's Inlet. We tried some paddle board-style yoga, which is way more challenging than it looks!
In Boston, my sister and I spent a morning at Walden Pond. It was so perfect! I recently re-read Thoreau's book, and it was amazing to see the real place. We visited the foundation of Thoreau's house, and enjoyed a run around the lake and swimming in the warm water.
Happy Independence Day! I have many fond memories of 4th of Julys past -- watching fireworks from my deck, listening to the Mraz Bros band play music at Grand View Lodge, walking in parades with my cheerleading squad, running the local 5 mile race with my mom, and hanging out with my fellow drum corps friends after a full day of marching parades when I was in Blue Stars.
Working in a hospital, 4th of July is just another Friday (although with a slightly higher rate of Trauma Stats), so I didn't get to golf and day drink like the rest of my household, but I am looking forward to grilling at a friend's house tonight! | {

Ares, God of War
Cold Cast Resin
12.25" High
Ares was the god of war, and son of Zeus and Hera. He represented the raw violence and untamed acts that occured in wartime, in contrast to Athena, who was a symbol of tactical strategy and military planning.
He was disliked by both his parents. Whenever Ares appeared in a myth, he was depicted as a violent personality, who faced humiliation through his defeats more than once. In the Iliad, it is mentioned that Zeus hated him more than anyone else; Ares was also on the losing side of the Trojan War, favouring the Trojans. He was the lover of his sister, Aphrodite, who was married to Hephaestus. When the latter found out about the affair, he devised a plan and managed to humiliate both of them. The union of Ares and Aphrodite resulted in the birth of eight children, including Eros, god of love.
There were few temples attributed to Ares in Ancient Greece. Sacrifices would usually be made to him when an army would march to war; Spartans would make sacrifices to Enyalius, another lesser god and son of Ares and Enyo. However, the name was also used as a byname for Ares.
When Ares went to war, he was followed by his companions, Deimos (terror) and Phobos (fear), who were the product of his union with Aphrodite. Eris, goddess of discord and sister of Deimos and Phobos, often accompanied them in war.
Aris Is also called Mars, Ares. | {

On April 15, 2005, the Hagley Museum and Library will sponsor a symposium on utopian visions at world's fairs and international expositions. These mammoth festivals have been sites for many groups and individuals to present utopian perspectives on the modern world. Inventors, reformers, manufacturers, private associations, and governments have used the facilities and publicity of the fairs to present their responses to contemporary problems, promising new visions for human experience and expanded opportunities for enjoying life. We invite papers that discuss the use of material culture, especially technology and consumer goods, to exhibit and represent utopian visions, as well as proposals concerning ideas that were introduced at the fairs for promoting scientific, industrial and human development. Proposals may focus on any World's Fair held in North America, beginning with the Centennial Exposition of 1876. The symposium is being held in conjunction with an exhibition at Hagley on world's fairs and international expositions. Proposals are due by November 1, 2004 and should be sent to Dr. Roger Horowitz, Hagley Museum and Library, PO Box 3630, Wilmington DE 19807, email [email protected], fax 302-655-3188. Support may be available for travel to the conference by presenters. | {

Afrojack & Imanbek – Hey Baby (feat. Gia Koka)
By Pol Torà
Dutch living legend Afrojack has teamed up with the young upcoming Kazakh DJ and producer Imanbek to present their brand new track together 'Hey Baby', which also features vocals from Polish singer Gia Koka. It is available now on all platforms via Sony Music's One Seven Music and Effective Records.
Afrojack has been always been kind to support and team up with the new generation of artists that are rapidly making a name for themselves in the scene. From collaborating on 'Turn Up The Speakers' with a back then super young and fast-rising Martin Garrix to becoming the CEO of his own talent agency LDH Europe. Now, Afrojack decided to collaborate with Inmanbek, a 19-year-old producer from Kazakhstan that gained recognition this year after dropping a massive remix for SAINt JHN's track 'Roses' that went viral and ranked up the charts from all over the world, amassing a staggering amount of almost 870 million only in Spotify streams.
'Hey Baby' follows up Imanbek's signature sound on the drop complemented by Afrojack's energetic catchy vibes that result once again in a brutal club-friendly radio hit. Gia's vocals give that commercial soft sound accompanying and singing along on top of the drop as well as being used as vocal chops to add some movement. This is yet another great track that adds up to Afrojack's previous releases like 'Hot', '1234', 'Hydra' and 'All Night' among many others.

Two killed, over 60 hurt as cops, protesters clash in Kotkapura
Two men were killed and more than 60 injured in clashes between police and Sikh protesters in Kotkapura on Wednesday over the recent desecration of a 'bir' of Guru Granth Sahib.

Later in the day, Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal ordered a judicial inquiry by a high court judge to probe the desecration incident and its aftermath, besides assuring Punjabis that exemplary punishment would be awarded to perpetrators of the "dastardly act". Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal announced Rs 1-crore reward to any person giving information leading to the arrest of those who committed the act of sacrilege.
The protesters, led by fringe radical outfits, are demanding the arrest of those responsible for tearing off more than 100 pages of the Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari village, 15km from Kotkapura in Faridkot district, on Monday. These pages were torn allegedly from a 'bir' that was stolen from a nearby village, Burj Jawahar Singh Wala, in June.
The protests come amid the uproar over the recent pardon granted by the Akal Takht to Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, with former Takht Damdama Sahib jathedar Balwant Singh Nandgarh suggesting the alleged involvement of dera followers in the desecration. The dera, however, has categorically denied any role in the incident and also condemned it.
On Wednesday morning, police opened fire at protesters at Behbal Kalan village, 10km from Faridkot, in which Kishan Singh, 45, of nearby Niami Wala village and Gurjit Singh, 20, of nearby Sarawan village were killed.
Earlier in the day, 62 persons, including 35 policemen, were injured in a bloody clash between cops and Sikh protesters in Kotkapura town. The police used lathis and water cannons to disperse protesters, even as the latter attacked cops with kirpans and torched police vehicles. The police were able to control the situation after the two-hour-long clash that also left Bathinda inspector general of police (IGP) Jitendra Jain injured.
Stir spreads
Starting from Bargari village on Monday, the protest has spread to Kotkapura, Moga and Faridkot in the past two days following mobilisation through audio and video messages on the social media and announcements in village gurdwaras. Several roads leading to Bathinda and Faridkot have been blocked by protesters who are sitting on roads outside villages.
On Tuesday, a violent clash between cops and protesters at Buttar Kalan village in Moga district had left 19 people injured.
The Sant Samaj has called for a bandh in Malwa districts (Faridkot, Moga, Fazilka, Ferozepur, Muktsar, Bathinda and Barnala) on Thursday over the desecration and its fallout.
"The desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is a deep-rooted conspiracy aimed at inciting communal tension and destabilising the hard-won peace in Punjab. I humbly urge all of you to maintain restraint in this hour of crisis."
- Parkash Singh Badal, Punjab chief minister
"CM Parkash Singh Badal has virtually lost control over things and the state is drifting towards anarchy. Badal should better quit if he is not able to maintain control over things."
-Capt Amarinder Singh, Congress deputy leader in LS
"The situation at Kotkapura was not handled in a professional manner by the police. There was no need for using force to disperse people who were protesting in a peaceful manner."
-Giani Gurbachan Singh, Akal Takht jathedar
"We strongly condemn the desecration of Guru Granth Sahib. Those who have done it are sinners of the highest order."
-Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, Dera Sacha Sauda chief | {

Moncler collections at Milan Fashion Week, Milan – Italy
Simone Rocha and Craig Green were among designers tasked with redesigning Moncler's signature down jacket for its new Genius project, launched at this year's Milan Fashion Week. On the opening night of the city's fashion week, 20 February 2018, the clothing brand Moncler invited visitors to a huge Milanese hangar. Rooms inside were each dedicated to one of eight collections making up the Moncler's Genius initiative, which is described by the brand as a "hub of exceptional minds operating in unison while simultaneously cultivating their singularity". Moncler tasked each of the eight collaborators, which included London-based designers Simone Rocha and Craig Green, with reinterpreting its down jacket.
They were instructed to keep its function in mind, ensuring that the design would still perform as a warm coat. "Each project has the classic Moncler down jacket as the main playground, stands on its own, and all of them unanimously converging on the item," said the brand. "Keeping function at the core and approaching the duvet as an object, unique experiments ensue." Each collaboration came with a corresponding number and mission statement. The first collection, named Moncler 1, saw Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli design with the "pure essence" of Moncler in mind.
Doing so, he stripped back the duvet jacket – creating minimal garments in elongated silhouettes, which he based on his previous couture collections. Moncler 2 looked to the brand's heritage. Described as a "homage to its year of birth", the Moncler 1952 garments are based on the brand's classic designs – but in bold colours with enlarged logos. Moncler 3 was based on Grenoble – a city at the front of the French Alps where Moncler began. While made from mix-and-match printed fabrics, the coats are designed as technical wear for mountain climbing and trekking.
To create the fourth collection, Moncler teamed up with fashion designer Simone Rocha, who created voluminous silhouettes based on photographs of Victorian climbers in petticoats. Menswear designer Craig Green was behind Moncler 5. The designer aimed to abstract the body through his collection, which he created in monochrome fabrics. Black fabric was also used exclusively by designer Kei Ninomiya, who transformed the brand's down jacket into a series of modular elements to create Moncler 6. Hiroshi Fujiwara's Moncler 7 looked to streetwear subcultures, while Los Angeles label Palm Angels emblazoned Moncler 8 with bold lettering.
By creating these eight diffusion collections, Moncler hopes to better-appeal to the "uniqueness of the consumer". "Letting creativity run riot strengthens the uniqueness of Moncler," said the brand. "It allows the product to speak by itself as it takes different shapes according to the concept of each project." "The uniqueness of all the projects mirrors the uniqueness of the consumers."

Great Students Inspire: Thomas Hardy Exam Resource
Posted on May 14, 2014 by Kate O'Connor
A class of fifth formers at the King's School Canterbury (the alma mater of Christopher Marlowe) were preparing for their GCSE exam, and decided there was no need to keep their close analysis of Thomas Hardy close to their chests.
At thedimofdawn.com (a title taken from a line in Hardy's poem "At the Word Farewell"), they have put together a Creative Commons website that provides insight and analysis about most of the Thomas Hardy poems covered by the exam syllabus, along with additional biographical titbits and themes. The hope is that other students will join in the discussion, and that the website will become a repository for debate about and analysis of the poems by students from around the world who want to express their ideas and help other students to revise.
Poems analysed include:
At The Word "Farewell"
Drummer Hodge
During Wind and Rain
I Look Into My Glass
In Time of 'The Breaking of Nations'
No Buyers: A Street Scene
The Convergence of the Twain
The Darkling Thrush
The Going
The Pine Planters
Visitors also can vote on their favourite of the Hardy poems covered by the syllabus.
Please feel free to visit thedimofdawn.com and join in the discussion!
For other great Hardy resources, check out the Thomas Hardy Society's commentaries on poems for students or the Great Writers Inspire Hardy author page.

Brave New Worlds before Huxley and Orwell
Posted on August 28, 2013 by summerinspire
In this guest blog, Dr Oliver Tearle, a lecturer at the University of Loughborough and founder of the Interesting Literature blog (also on Twitter @InterestingLit), examines the history of dystopian literature.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the noun 'dystopia' (defined as 'an imaginary place or condition in which everything is as bad as possible') first turns up in print in 1952, and 'dystopian' (in the word's most common sense, namely 'of or pertaining to a dystopia') not until a decade later. But the first citation for the word 'dystopian' in the sense of 'one who advocates or describes a dystopia' comes from a speech made in the House of Commons by the Victorian philosopher, John Stuart Mill in 1868. 'Dystopian', then, was a Victorian coinage. But recently the noun 'dystopia' has been traced back to 1747 where it is spelled 'dustopia' but is used in clear contrast to 'utopia'. In short, the whole history of dystopias and the dystopian is still being unravelled and explored. This is particularly true of dystopian literature.
Dystopian fiction has perhaps never been more popular than it is today. In the last decade books and films such as The Hunger Games, The Road, and V for Vendetta have enjoyed huge success, while twentieth-century classics like Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and The Handmaid's Tale are regularly set as GCSE and A-Level texts in UK schools. Based on this, it would be easy to think that the subgenre of dystopian fiction was less than a century old. But as the word's complex history reveals, dystopia had entered literature long before Aldous Huxley and George Orwell were writing.
Dystopias are the opposite of utopias – if utopian fiction imagines the best possible world, then dystopian fiction presents us with the worst-case scenario. All literary utopias can be traced back to 1516 and Thomas More's work of that name, which coined the word 'utopia' as a Greek pun meaning both 'good place' (eu-topos) and 'no place' (u-topos). But it was in the nineteenth century that utopian literature arose as a popular literary form for novelists. Perhaps inevitably, not everyone embraced the optimism which utopian fiction promised: could you build an ideal world, as set out by More in his Utopia? Thus arose dystopian fiction as an alternative – and, to its adherents and practitioners, an altogether more realistic – branch of speculative literature.
Commentators sometimes simplify this development by saying that, whilst the nineteenth century was dominated by utopian visions of a better future, the twentieth century replaced these overly optimistic will-o'-the-wisps with dystopian versions of a society in the grip of state control and curtailment of individual freedoms. But this is too simple. Although it's true that the later nineteenth century gave rise to bestselling utopian classics such as Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888), which predicted garden city planning and credit cards, and William Morris's News from Nowhere(1890), there was a chorus of more pessimistic voices being raised by this time. One such voice belonged to Ignatius Donnelly, an American writer whose novel Caesar's Column, published the same year as Morris's utopian romance, sold 250,000 copies. And Morris's novel itself was in part a response to such dystopian, or partly dystopian, works as Richard Jefferies' After London (1885) and Samuel Butler's Erewhon (1872).
Indeed, Erewhon was an important development in speculative fiction. It appeared the same year as a landmark in realist fiction, George Eliot's Middlemarch, and although Erewhon is a work of fantasy rather than realism, the two novels actually share a number of key themes: scientific and technological progress; attitudes to banking and finance; and the role of religion in society. And, like Middlemarch, Butler's novel weighs up both sides of the issues he discusses and seldom passes explicit judgments on them. Although this novel is often described as utopian fiction, Butler gently satirises every aspect of the utopian world he describes, a world which the narrator accesses after travelling into the outback in New Zealand. In this world – called Erewhon, which is almost 'nowhere' (as in utopia, or no-place) backwards – machines have been abolished because they were evolving too quickly and, the Erewhonian people feared, would one day supersede human beings as the dominant force in the world. Although Erewhon is not an out-and-out dystopian novel, others which followed it offered a more starkly negative view of human progress.
It has been claimed that dystopian fiction properly began with Jack London's 1908 novel The Iron Heel, and that it only really rose up towards the middle of the twentieth century with such works as Brave New World and 1984. But the genre had a rich life prior to this, encompassing not only Erewhon but novels such as Anthony Trollope's The Fixed Period (1882), Walter Besant's The Revolt of Man (1882), and Margaret Oliphant's short story 'The Land of Darkness' (1887), which is set in a hell modelled on Dante's Infernobut very much shaped by nineteenth-century developments in technology, industry, and urbanisation. Orwell acknowledged the influence of such earlier works as Erewhon and The Iron Heel on his own work, while Oliphant's story has been described as being closer to Orwell than to Dante.
Perhaps the most curious of all the nineteenth-century forerunners to the modern dystopian novel is that by Anthony Trollope (caricature, left). Published in 1882, the year of his death, The Fixed Period is set in the year 1980 on the fictional island republic of Britannula. The narrator, the unsubtly named John Neverbend, is president of the island and is trying to pass a bill which will enforce compulsory euthanasia for everyone upon reaching the age of 67. David Lodge recently championed this neglected novel in a piece for The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/dec/14/david-lodge-rereading-anthony-trollope.
In fact, novelists better known for writing more realist works of fiction often contributed to this burgeoning genre. E. M. Forster, celebrated for novels like Howards End and A Passage to India, wrote a short story in 1909 titled 'The Machine Stops', set in a dystopian future world in which technology has become the all-powerful force in society, as Butler in Erewhon feared it would. This bleak cautionary tale predicts such modern phenomena as the internet, videoconferencing, and instant messaging. It is a work of fiction but, like Orwell's 1984, also carries the ring of prophecy.
At its core, dystopian fiction engages with some of the key cultural, moral, and scientific questions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, many of which we are still asking today: the role of science in the modern world, the moral responsibility we have when developing science and technology, attitudes to euthanasia, humanity's responsibility for the environment, the distribution of wealth, and the role of religion in a secular society. Dystopian works written over a hundred years ago show our own society reflected back to us – we see our world eerily foreshadowed, and already being warned against.
I've recently become interested in recovering this lost, or at least semi-forgotten, tradition, in an attempt to redress the common assumption that dystopian fiction only really began in the early to mid-twentieth century. This endeavour goes hand-in-hand with another online enterprise, my blog Interesting Literature: A Library of Literary Interestingness, which I founded in 2012 as an attempt to find – and communicate – the obscure and neglected aspects of literary history. And dystopian fiction abounds in such assumptions and misconceptions which belie the more interesting complexity of the genre's formation: for instance, the terms 'thought crime' and 'thought police', both made popular by George Orwell in 1984, actually predated his novel and are first found in books from 1934 about Japanese politics. What Orwell set down in the late 1940s was already in the air before, but to a greater and more specific degree than we had perhaps realised. As ever, other writers had got there first. But the most important thing to address about dystopian literature is the little-known and little-studied prehistory of the genre, a prehistory that involves classic Victorian realist novelists such as Trollope and George Eliot, science-fiction pioneers like H. G. Wells, and important twentieth-century writers such as E. M. Forster. And although they are often bleak warnings about a future society, the society we have inherited, they are nevertheless a joy to discover, and to read.

A Medieval Mystery: Who Was the Pearl-poet?
In this guest blog, Hannah Ryley, an Oxford DPhil student, explores the anonymity of authorship in the Middle Ages.
In the British Library there is a medieval manuscript with the shelfmark Cotton Nero A.x. Dull though this shelfmark may sound, this manuscript is at the heart of a mysterious case of unknown authorship of four Middle English poems. The manuscript itself as a whole is very interesting and you can freely browse some digital images, of twelve colourfully illustrated pages, and try to decipher the handwritten texts it contains, here: http://gawain.ucalgary.ca/ Moreover, we can learn a great deal from this particular case about the difficulties surrounding the identification of authors in the medieval period more broadly, as we will shortly see.
Within this manuscript are found the poems Pearl, Patience, Cleanness, and, perhaps most well-known today – largely thanks to a popular modern-language version of the story by Simon Armitage – Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.[1] Although the manuscript was physically handwritten by a scribe, and decorated by an illustrator (known as a 'limner' in the Middle Ages), both of whom were probably professionals hired for the task, neither of these people are likely to have been the author of the poems. However, because of similarities in dialect, style, and theme it is thought that a single author – distinct from the scribe or illustrator – was responsible for composing all four poems.
Pearl, Patience, and Cleanness are all narrative poems concerned with moral questions and religious doctrine. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a romance, in which Sir Gawain, a loyal knight of King Arthur's court, takes up the challenge of a beheading game suggested by a stranger, the Green Knight. All four poems can be interpreted as being deeply involved with discussions about Christianity, although there are many other themes and symbols at play in the poems. Stylistically, the use of alliteration and alliterative verse form links these poems, with the poet also using the 'bob and wheel' in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The bob and wheel is an ingenious poetic device; the 'bob' is a short line that links the 'wheel' (a rhyming refrain) to the main alliterative verse. If these poems were indeed written by one person, the author wrote in the late fourteenth-century in Middle English, and the dialect of the four works has been more specifically associated with the North-West Midlands.[2]
Although this poet is without a doubt a 'great writer you should know', what is tricky is that he (or perhaps even she) has never been fully identified. Anniina Jokinen plainly states: "Nothing conclusive is known of the author's identity or biography."[3] This is quite typical of many medieval authors, about whom records simply have not survived, or where they have survived, are often incomplete or ambiguous. As a result, scholars have often debated – and occasionally conjectured wildly – about the real individuals who may have written various seminal works of medieval English literature. A number of names have been put forward as the authors of the four poems found in Cotton Nero A.x, including 'Hugo Massey', 'John Massey', and 'Richard Newton'. However, none of these proposed authors have ever been widely accepted.[4] Yet this mysterious, unsolved case of obscure authorship is not unique; we still do not know the full biographical details of many other authors of medieval literary masterpieces. We will have to be content to refer to this magnificent writer as simply the 'Pearl-poet' or the 'Gawain-poet', as he has come to be known, and let his poetry speak for itself.

Get Wilde
Posted on August 9, 2013 by summerinspire
Bored on your commute home? You're in fine company. In The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde wrote, "I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train." You can actually read Wilde's Life and Confessions as a free eBook here, and see how sensational he really was, or if he was just living by his maxim: "Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art." But if your eyes are already tired and strained, you can court controversy by listening to a great podcast by Sophie Duncan on Wilde's women.

If you've ever wanted to satisfy your inner 11-year-old and ask, "yes, but why is Dickens worth studying?" or "why is Shakespeare such a big deal?" then try listening to the answers of academic experts who have devoted their careers to exploring a Great Writer.
Speaking of great writers, we're all about Shakespeare in Oxford. If you didn't manage to get your fix with Oxford Shakespeare Company's The Merry Wives of Windsor, then check out OUDS's production of The Comedy of Errors at the University Church – finishing tomorrow!

A Magical Summer in Rhyme
Posted on July 17, 2013 by swilkin26
Make the most of the wonderful weather we have been having recently by going on the Oxford Poetry Walk! Enjoy a 70 minute tour around the city with a selection of literary favourites such as Gerard Manley Hopkins and Oscar Wilde to act as your companions. If you are more of a theatre buff then check out the Globe Theatre on Tour's production of 'The Taming of the Shrew' currently being shown at the Bodleian Old Schools Quadrangle. If that doesn't give you your literary fix then there is the Oxford Shakespeare Company's adaptation of 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' hosted in the atmospheric gardens of Wadham College.
In other walks of literary life, things seems to be getting all rather supernatural. This week Potter mastermind J.K Rowling was revealed as using the pen name Robert Galbraith to publicise her new crime novel 'The Cuckoo's Calling'. To add to the excitement, it came out that this newsworthy detail was uncovered by one of our very own professors here at Oxford, Professor Peter Millican.
Additionally, the Bodleian Library's enchanting exhibition 'Magical Books' is well underway showcasing works from the legends of Children's' Fantasy literature e.g. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien.

To round off our week of Austen, we thought we'd let you know about the Oxford Theatre Guild's production of Pride and Prejudice, on tonight at Trinity College! All the Oxford Janeites out there should get down to Trinity's velvety lawns for 7.30pm. Here's a sneak peak: In other Austen news, the Guardian's John Mullen challenged Oxford's Dr. Paula Byrne by calling Austen's style "unflinchingly satirical" (if you missed the Telegraph's original article, you can read it here). What do you think? http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/jul/11/jane-austen-fiction-not-anaesthetic
If you're still unsure, you can listen to Professor Kathryn Sutherland talk a bit more about Austen on one of the University's free podcasts! http://writersinspire.org/author/jane-austen

When it comes to the state of student testing in the US, College Board President and CEO David Coleman said, "We are building an iron wall of inequality today into the next century." At the 2014 Aspen Ideas Festival, Coleman, whose organization develops and administers standardized tests, such as the SAT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement exams, is also the architect of the hotly debated Common Core. He discussed testing students as a measure of college preparedness, the issues of inequality and discrimination in the classroom, and the state of the US public education system.
Read below for highlights from Coleman's conversation with "Bloomberg EDU" Host and Executive Producer Jane Stoddard Williams.
In the clip above, Coleman explains how he's addressing criticisms that high-priced college test prep courses lead to unfair test results for those who cannot afford it. "People who defend assessment always like to say it finds diamonds in the rough, but guess what, it doesn't alone," he said.
"When we worry, perhaps rightly, that assessment can discriminate, let's remember that there's another thing that we know ... that can discriminate more, which is adults," he said. In the clip above, Coleman describes an example of what happened when one school district stopped relying on teacher recommendations for determining which students would take Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams, and instead relied on high PSAT data.

Tove Fergo, född Andersen 24 september 1946 i Köpenhamn, död 4 oktober 2015, var en dansk präst och politiker. Hon var sockenpräst vid Simon Peters Kirke på Amager sedan 1973. Hon var medlem i det liberala partiet Venstre och var Danmarks kyrkominister 2001–2005.
Biografi
Tove Fergo gick på Jagtvejens Skole i Nørrebro som ung. 1965 blev hon student vid Københavns studenterkursus i Köpenhamn. Hon utbildade sig sedan till präst och tog en Cand.theol. från Köpenhamns universitet 1972. Tove Fergo var Venstres kandidat i Rådhuskredsen 1988–90 och i Gentofte- och Hellerupkredsene från 1990. Hon var medlem i Folketinget 1994–2005.
Tove Fergo var gift med prästen Peter Fergo, med vilken hon fick tre barn. Han utövar sitt prästämbete vid Allehelgens Kirke på Amager.
Perioden 1994–2001
I maj 2001 kritiserade bland andra Tove Fergo utrikesministeriet för att Danmark, i samband med bistånd till u-länder, inte dokumenterade och agerade mot de hot mot religionsfriheten som förekom i de länder som mottog danskt bistånd. Fergo uttryckte sig enligt följande: "Utan religionsfrihet är det ingen demokrati. Religionsfrihet är en del av de mänskliga rättigheterna och en viktig indikator för, hur det står till med demokratin i de länder, som Danmark stöder. Därför bör frågan tas upp som en fast del av förhandlingarna om bistånden med de berörda ländernas regeringar, så att det kan läggas press på dem för att förbättra förhållandena." Detta uttalande gjorde Fergo efter att utrikesministeriet hade publicerat en översikt över förhållandena i de 24 länder som Danmark gav bistånd till. Denna översikt blev dock inte satt i verket förrän Fergo i februari samma år hade ställt frågor om religionsfriheten i de berörda länderna och om vilka initiativ Danmark skulle ta för att förbättra förhållandena i dessa länder.
Fergo som kyrkominister
Efter att Anders Fogh Rasmussen bildade koalitionsregering mellan Venstre och Konservative Folkeparti 2001, utsågs Tove Fergo till kyrkominister och hon tillträdde posten den 27 november 2001. Det påstods dock att Fergo inte stod högst upp på den blivande statsministerns "lista" över potentiella kyrkoministrar.
Fergos tid som Danmarks kyrkominister kännetecknades av många konflikter mellan henne och bland andra biskopar, präster, prästföreningar och församlingsråd. Bland de första dispyterna var när Fergo hade avvisat tio års arbete med en ny psalmbok, vilket hon gjorde endast några timmar efter att hon utsetts till minister. Hon motiverade detta i ett pressmeddelande med att den tillsatta psalmbokskommissionen (da: salmebogskommissionen) hade avlägsnat många äldre och av folket populära psalmer, samt att den i sitt förslag hade ändrat för mycket i psalmernas ordalydelse. Hon ifrågasatte också om det var värt pengarna att byta ut psalmböckerna. Detta väckte starka reaktioner, bland annat från hennes föregångare Torben Rechendorff (Konservative Folkeparti), som menade att om Fergo nekar att auktorisera den nya psalmboken så kan det kosta henne ämbetet som kyrkominister. Anders Gadegaard, domprost i Köpenhamn, ansåg att utnämnandet av Fergo som kyrkominister gav upphov till en kollisionskurs mellan stat och kyrka och kallade Fergo för "påve".
En annan konflikt med Köpenhamns biskopar gick ut på att Fergo motsatte sig att präster skulle ha som sin plikt att räkna antalet deltagare vid gudstjänster. Detta var en strid hon hade tagit redan innan hon blev minister, då hon inte heller fick något stöd från den dåvarande kyrkoministern, Johannes Lebech (Radikale Venstre). Väl som minister drev Fergo på att den s.k. "kyrkoräkningen" skulle vara frivillig.
År 2002 avvisade Fergo ett krav om att Folkekirken inte längre skulle ha monopol inom folkbokföringen. Kravet hade ställts av ett antal föräldrar som motsatte sig att behöva skicka namnattesterna och födelsebevisen till de lokala kyrkokontoren. De krävde valfrihet och hänvisade till Sønderjyllands amt, där man av historiska orsaker har möjligheten att välja mellan att registrera sig hos offentliga myndigheter eller i kyrkokontoren. Fergo avvisade kravet och kallade det "historielöst" och hänvisade till att Folkekirken hade haft denna uppgift sedan århundraden tillbaka och att detta inte skulle ändras på.

Talk of AutoZone Park sale premature: Pontius
By Kevin Reichard on March 21, 2012 in Minor-League Baseball, News
Talk of selling AutoZone Park to the city of Memphis was premature, as the Memphis Redbirds Baseball Foundation is exploring several liquidation options, according to treasurer John Pontius.
Two weeks ago the news broke that the city was reviewing a proposal to buy the home of the Memphis Redbirds (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League). Pontuis says that while accurate, the account was a little premature: a sale of the ballpark to the city is but one of several scenarios being considered by the foundation and its lenders. One alternative scenario: that both the ballpark and the team will be sold to the same buyer.
From Memphis Flyer:
There's always been a desire — both from the foundation's standpoint and the city's — to make sure we concluded the final chapter of the Redbirds' financial story that gave it new, positive, long-term life for the city. That's what we've been working on for a few years. We're closer to a conclusion, a recapitalization, a sale, or something that repositions the Redbirds for a prosperous future in Memphis. But it's premature to speculate on which of those options will come about, and when….
There are two primary assets of the Redbirds Foundation. They could be sold separately or together, and it really depends on the buyer. Would a franchise owner want to own the ballpark too, or be a tenant in the ballpark? We're deep in the throes of understanding the options, but we're not [at a point of sale] yet.
The challenge, he added, was to put together a deal that satisfies a potential buyer and the holder of the foundation bonds: no doubt investor Fundamental Advisors would need to take a haircut on any deal, so the real issue may be how close a haircut. However, that's the risk that the likes of a Fundamental Advisors — which specializes in distressed properties — takes.

A confidential report releaed by WikiLeaks into the dumping of toxic waste along the Ivory Coast, has seen an extraordinary gag order served on the UK media. The order gags the press from reporting a parliamentry question and answer.
In effect, the communication between parliament and the people has been muzzled.
The Ivory Coast dumping mentioned, by multi-national oil and commodities trader Trafigura, is possibly the most culpable environmental disaster since thousands were killed in the Bhopal chemical spill.
What this gags order aims at is preventing the mention of Trafigura and Minton in the same context. The Minton report was released by WikiLeaks on September 14, 2009. Despite this and some rock solid work by Guardian investigations editor David Leigh and other journalists on the boader Trafigura contamination, the Minton report released by WikiLeaks was not named in the UK press, nor were its contents report. Why? Because of the earlier secret 11 September 2009 media injuction against the report, as referred to by Paul Farrelly MP. To-date the UK public has been kept in the dark about the Minton report and its contents. Paul Farrelly's question is an attempt to take on the suppression issue. In the process it connected the Minton report on WikiLeaks to Trafigura, something the UK media has been secretly ordered not to do.
Statements made in parliament, including those of Paul Farrelly MP, traditionally enjoy an absolute exemption from molestation by the regular judiciary. Parliament does not, insomuch as it believes itself to be an expression of the national will, subordinate itself to any other court.
Knowing this, lawyers for Trafigura, Carter-Ruck, told the Guardian that the order covered reporting of Paul Farrelly MP's questions. That Carter Ruck felt this claim was makable is a bold and dangerous move towards the total privatization of censorship. Is a multi-billion pound commodities trader a truer expression of the national will than the House of Commons? The question is no longer rhetorical.
The Commons' gag and the September 11 gag are not the only issues. The London Independent has removed from its site, without explanation, its September 17 investigative article on the issue "Toxic shame: Thousands injured in African city". As for other papers, no one has any idea, because it is the habit now in the UK to secretly remove articles from newspaper archives and their indexes. | {

Nonapoptotic forms of cell death may facilitate the selective elimination of some tumor cells or be activated in specific pathological states. The oncogenic RAS-selective lethal small molecule erastin triggers a unique iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death that we term ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is dependent upon intracellular iron, but not other metals, and is morphologically, biochemically, and genetically distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. We identify the small molecule ferrostatin-1 as a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis in cancer cells and glutamate-induced cell death in organotypic rat brain slices, suggesting similarities between these two processes. Indeed, erastin, like glutamate, inhibits cystine uptake by the cystine/glutamate antiporter (system x(c)(-)), creating a void in the antioxidant defenses of the cell and ultimately leading to iron-dependent, oxidative death. Thus, activation of ferroptosis results in the nonapoptotic destruction of certain cancer cells, whereas inhibition of this process may protect organisms from neurodegeneration.

HomeTravel Planning2022 Destinations: The Coolest Dozen
December 18, 2021 airtravel360 Travel Planning 0
It is that time of year to look to NEXT year.
We attempt to forecast which cities will be at the top of everyone's flight search history, where the most exciting hotel openings will happen and which countries will emerge from the periphery to be the hottest new destinations for intrepid travelers.
But for the last two years, this has felt like an increasingly challenging task. Sure, we can see where airlines are doubling down on service and where popular hotel brands are breaking ground. But after so many false starts and squashed travel plans, I think we all know that divining the future — particularly in the travel industry — is more art and inspiration than science.
Travelers are eager to return to their favorite destinations and discover new ones, but the ongoing pandemic has made it more difficult than ever to plan anything.
Still, we keep our sights set on what's next, because sometimes that's all you can do: Keep looking ahead. As another challenging year comes to a close, these are the destinations we're most excited about — the ones that fill us with optimism and give us all something to anticipate.
Few destinations in the U.S. have made a comeback quite like New York City. So many people speculated that it might have met its untimely end during the prolonged pandemic when Broadway temporarily closed its curtains and some of the city's most iconic hotels and restaurants shuttered.
But simply step onto a subway platform and you'll immediately feel that the city's energetic pace is back. Despite its extended shutdown, the city is eager to welcome tourists from across the globe. If you haven't been to New York City since the onset of the pandemic, you'll find a spate of new attractions, including a mind-bending new observation deck in midtown Manhattan and a park comprised of concrete platforms that look like lily pads floating above the Hudson River.
There are also a number of hotel openings on the horizon that will make Manhattan the most talked-about borough in the city. In addition to the long-awaited Aman New York, The Ritz-Carlton is taking reservations for its second Gotham location in the NoMad neighborhood starting in May 2022.
For travelers craving wide-open spaces within the continental U.S., there are few better places to visit in 2022 than the Cowboy State, which is famous for its world-class skiing, freewheeling Old West culture and stunning national parks.
In 2022, Yellowstone — the country's first national park — will celebrate its 150th anniversary with indigenous art exhibitions, free tours on the park's iconic yellow buses and other events and activities. Plus, domestic airlines have been doubling down on Wyoming and other national park gateways since 2020, making it easier than ever for travelers to reach this destination.
No matter where you're traveling in Wyoming, you'll want to book accommodations far in advance. In addition to classic park lodging, such as the Old Faithful Inn, and luxury hotels, like the relatively new Cloudveil, an Autograph Collection property, travelers can consider a luxe chalet from onefinestay, which expanded to the mountain town of Jackson Hole this ski season.
The southernmost continent is an inhospitable, wintry desert. Getting there has never been a particularly easy task, but with the reopening of borders in South America, it's possible once again for travelers to visit and, in many cases, check off their final continent.
The Antarctic travel season, which kicks off during the austral summer, is just resuming and will continue into early 2022. There's only a fraction of the number of usual vessels calling on Antarctica this season, but more than ever will come here next season, meaning travelers will see even more wild, undisturbed scenery and wildlife.
Though coronavirus protocols continue to complicate travel, many people may find an expedition cruise here takes some of the guesswork out of that. Not to mention, travelers don't need to be too worried about coming into contact with the virus in this uninhabited stretch of ice and rock.
Debut cruise line Atlas Ocean Voyages is chartering an A330 to get travelers directly from Orlando to Ushuaia, Argentina, where its first vessel, World Navigator, embarks. Travelers who sail with Silversea have the option to fly directly to King George Island on Antarctic Airways this season. Or, cruisers could sail on Lindblad Expeditions' new National Geographic Endurance, which can be booked with World of Hyatt points instead of cash.
When United announced it would fly to five new European destinations in 2022, the airline's senior vice president of international network and alliance, Patrick Quayle, said the expansion was about connecting travelers with "new, unexpected places." Among them, the fjords of Norway via Bergen (BGO), to which the airline will start flying from its Newark (EWR) hub starting May 20.
Both first-time and returning travelers will have new places to stay throughout Norway, including Sommerro, a reborn Art Deco landmark in Oslo that will boast 231 rooms and residences and the capital's first year-round rooftop pool. There are also reports that the long-awaited Svart hotel in the Arctic Circle will welcome its first guests next year.
Ras al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
Fans of Dubai and Abu Dhabi should set their sights on the northernmost emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, which is home to its own array of superlative attractions and five-star hotels, including the forthcoming Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah with overwater villas and an InterContinental slated to open in February.
Once there, travelers can enjoy a spate of over-the-top diversions, such as record-breaking fireworks shows and the world's longest zip line, which whisks travelers down 1.76 miles of the tallest peak in the United Arab Emirates at heart-thumping speeds.
Florida continues to be a top destination for travelers, and in 2022, Orlando will be at the center of this attention.
Disney's 50th-anniversary celebrations continue into the new year with an exciting lineup of new attractions, events and developments, including the launch of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. This highly anticipated immersive hotel experience will be complemented by the opening of Disney Vacation Club resort studios at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
Disney enthusiasts can also look forward to the opening of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction and enhanced technology throughout the parks with "Hey, Disney!" and MagicBand+.
Increased airlift from a number of major airlines will also make it particularly easy — and far more comfortable — to fly to Orlando in 2022. Even international airlines are getting in on the action: Aer Lingus has launched nonstop transatlantic flights from Orlando (MCO) to Manchester, England (MAN).
You don't have to be flying to Disney World to get excited about traveling to this city in Central Florida. By the end of 2022, the high-speed rail company Brightline is expecting to finish its connection between Orlando and Miami.
Luxury travelers have plenty of reasons to plan a visit to Montenegro next year. This small Balkan country with a thread of beaches along the Adriatic Sea is a great alternative for travelers seeking a crowd-free version of Croatia. Check out One&Only Portonovi (the brand's first resort in Europe), which opened in May 2021, and Aman's new sister brand, Janu, which will debut at Sveti Stefan in 2022.
Travelers who want to visit destinations before an influx of tourists should travel here soon, as a luxury hotel with residences, Fairmont Smokva Bay Resort, is also in development for early 2023.
Want to explore the region? Book a flight on the country's new national airline, Air Montenegro, which just launched this year. Flights are available between Montenegro and Serbia, Germany, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
United Airlines began its thrice-weekly, year-round service to Accra, Ghana (ACC), from Washington, D.C. (IAD) in May, making it easier for travelers to visit this nation in West Africa.
Ghana is an awe-inspiring gateway for travelers eager to return to the continent thanks, in part, to it being at the center of the heritage travel movement. Every visitor should consider a pilgrimage to ominous Cape Coast Castle, overlooking the Atlantic, to see the so-called "Door of No Return" where many enslaved Africans were forced onto ships bound for the Americas.
These days, the country's capital, Accra, is home to one of Africa's liveliest music scenes, with numerous clubs and other venues hosting concerts by up-and-coming artists. You don't have to venture far for some of the continent's best surfing, either, at Kokrobite beach.
You can even explore some of Africa's lesser-known (and therefore far less crowded) national parks and reserves encompassing everything from grasslands and woodlands to lush rainforests teeming with monkeys and crisscrossed by canopy footbridges.
With so much uncertainty still clouding the travel landscape, many adventurers are seeking solace in familiar, long-loved destinations such as Italy, which is one of the most booked destinations in Europe for next year.
Even frequent visitors may be lured by major hotel openings from some of the top brands, including the intimate 65-room Rosewood Porto Cervo on the island of Sardinia. In Rome, IHG is transforming an early 20th-century property on the Via Veneto into an InterContinental. The capital city will also welcome outposts from Bvlgari, Six Senses and Edition Hotels in 2022.
Travelers might even be able to catch a flight on the nation's new flag carrier, ITA Airways, which takes the place of the now-defunct Alitalia. It will welcome a fleet of new Airbuses in 2022 and is focusing on connecting the East Coast of the U.S. to Milan and Rome.
For years now, Mexico has landed on TPG's list of hottest upcoming destinations. Though it may not be surprising or new, it's a destination that continues to evolve. Throughout the pandemic, Mexico has been consistently welcoming to tourists: Unlike so many nations around the world, it never shut its borders to visitors.
As a result, it's really no surprise that Viator found that, compared to 2019, bookings for hot spots on both coasts (such as Tulum and Cabo San Lucas) have increased by double digits.
In 2022, a new round of fresh hotels and resorts from a number of our favorite brands will welcome travelers for the first time, including Amanvari on Baja's East Cape, the Waldorf Astoria Cancun and the Hilton Tulum All-Inclusive Resort. An Edition hotel is also slated to open in the popular Riviera Maya resort development.
When Canada finally reopened to American tourists, the excitement was palpable — and that wave of energy will continue into 2022. Consider a stay at the forthcoming Ace Hotel in the city's Fashion District or the W in Yorkville, which is expected to open this spring.
Toronto will also be at the center of Canada's cruising comeback, which won't start until April 2022. At this time, the first eastern Canada cruise on the schedule from a major line, Viking, is a 12-night voyage from New York to Toronto embarking on April 18, 2022. By April, it will have been about two years since cruise ships called on Toronto.
In a time of so much uncertainty, it's impossible to say when tourism to Australia will return to something resembling normal. After all, the nation has attempted to reopen in fits and starts, and is still only allowing citizens, residents and their family members to visit without quarantine.
But the decision to relax entry restrictions on Nov. 1 is an important signal that the return of tourism to Australia could be on the horizon. There will be so much to experience when the time comes, particularly with regard to high-end places to stay from the major hotel brands.
Next year, the W brand will return to Sydney, and a Kimpton crowned with a rooftop bar will open in the city as well. In Melbourne, a Ritz-Carlton is expected to open in the West Side Place development. And for travelers who want to splurge with cash, a 169-room Langham will welcome guests to the country's Gold Coast. After years of anticipation, The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is officially opening its doors in a historic building in the heart of Hobart as well.
Travelers who are already thinking about how they'll get to Australia should consider flying with United Airlines and Virgin Australia, as both airlines just announced plans to launch a codeshare partnership in 2022. | {

He and his group of buddies are really cool in this game. They helped me out a lot and now I can play Gears pretty well. They also go out of their way to make sure the teams are fair and even, matching skills that is. I had the most fun chilling with them on Gears than any other time. It would be cool if we could all go join up with them.
Yeah, Hero I have a blast just watching him play. Next time you play chainsaw tripple as much as you can, he really hates it lol.
I can't believe I'm finally having fun on here. | {

Resilience: An update
PTSD Research Quarterly
Understanding why some trauma-exposed individuals develop PTSD, while most do not, has spurred research on resilience. A common thread throughout all definitions of resilience is that it is "the process of adapting to and bouncing back from adversity." This Research Quarterly provides an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the current literature on resilience. As we learn more about resilience we can look forward to the development of increasingly effective strategies to help people negotiate and potentially grow from stress and adversity.
A multivariate twin study of trait mindfulness, depressive symptoms and anxiety sensitivity
The aim of this study was to examine the role of genetic and environmental factors in trait mindfulness, and its genetic and environmental overlap with depressive symptoms and anxiety sensitivity.
Daily stressors, past depression and metabolic responses to high-fat meals: A novel path to obesity
Depression and stress promote obesity. This study addressed the impact of daily stressors and a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) on obesity-related metabolic responses to high-fat meals.
How tomorrow's algorithms will help treat post-traumatic stress disorder
Let's say a 33-year-old woman is admitted to an emergency room after being in a car accident. The accident was violent and scary, but other than a mild concussion and some bruises and lacerations, she appears to be okay, physically. But once she's been examined and bandaged, once her vital signs have been confirmed to sit in the normal ranges, another, trickier question pops up: Is she likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder? Here's where current medical science falters a little bit.
Why we need to be talking about postpartum depression in dads
Although studies estimate that as many as one in 10 fathers suffers from postpartum depression, many dads go overlooked and untreated because such little research has been done on the issue. A new study, however, shows that dads' "baby blues" can affect their ability to parent and cause anxiety and behavioral issues in toddlers. Researchers from Northwestern University looked at 199 couples during the first six weeks after their child was born and again after 45 months, when their babies had grown into toddlers.
Childhood trauma linked to early psychosis later in life
Research showing that patients with early psychosis report high rates of childhood trauma has important implications for clinicians, a University of Queensland psychologist has found. More than three-quarters of early psychosis patients reported exposure to childhood trauma, including one or a combination of emotional, physical or sexual abuse or physical neglect.
Anxiety can contribute to bad decisions
If you consider yourself an anxious person, beware. Your anxiety may be standing in the way of your success. A recent study from the University of California Berkeley revealed that anxiety-prone individuals are more likely to make poor decisions, especially high-stakes decisions that involved a high level of uncertainty, such as starting a business, or hiring or firing someone.
Thin air, high altitudes cause depression in female rats
In a novel study, University of Utah researchers have shown that hypobaric hypoxia (the reduced oxygen experienced at high altitude) can lead to depression. In the March edition of High Altitude Medicine and Biology online, the researchers show that female rats exposed to high-altitude conditions, both simulated and real, exhibit increased depression-like behavior. Male rats, interestingly, showed no signs of depression in the same conditions.
How your brain deletes trauma
Our brains actually aren't able to absorb infinite amounts of information — new research has revealed that memories operate on something closer to a one-in, one-out policy. The process of recall causes people to lose other memories, meaning that our attempts to remember certain things lead to the forgetting of others. The UK study is the first of its kind to test our "forgetting" mechanism, monitoring the changes that occur when we try to remember new things.
Roseroot extract may be beneficial for treating major depressive disorder
Rhodiola rosea, or roseroot, may be a beneficial treatment option for major depressive disorder, according to results of a study in the journal Phytomedicine. The proof of concept trial study is the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparison trial of oral R. rosea extract versus the conventional antidepressant therapy sertraline for mild to moderate major depressive disorder.
Vitamin D levels may predict depression
Low serum levels of vitamin D are associated with clinically significant symptoms of depression in otherwise healthy individuals, new research shows. Making a series of assessments of healthy women during a one-month period, investigators found that more than one-third of participants had depressive symptoms, that almost half had vitamin D insufficiency and that depressive symptoms were predicted by vitamin D levels.
Study: High-fat diets can lead to depression
Obesity, heart disease and other physical afflictions may not be the only negative impacts of consuming fatty foods. According to a recent study on mice, high-fat foods could be affecting behavior, increasing the risk of depression and related psychological disorders. The study, published in the journal Biological Psychiatry, suggests that a high-fat diet alters the mix of bacteria in the gut known as the gut microbiome.
Study links air pollution as risk factor for anxiety
research into new questions about links between mental health and air quality has found an association between levels of anxiety and levels of fine particulate air pollution. A second paper in the same issue of The BMJ answers more established questions about links with stroke, too. Using information from the large amounts of data collecting in the 2004 Nurses' Health Study, the researchers looked back for a link to anxiety from an estimate of exposure to air pollution among the 71,271 women.
Study adds evidence on link between PTSD, heart disease
In a study of more than 8,000 veterans living in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, those with post-traumatic stress disorder had a nearly 50 percent greater risk of developing heart failure over about a seven-year follow-up period, compared with their non-PTSD peers. The findings appear in the April 2015 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
Psychiatrists have finally discovered how to better treat depression
A new study published the journal Translational Psychiatry may shed light on the nature of two of the most common types of depression and could help dramatically improve the accuracy of drug prescription. These two forms of depression are linked to two chemical imbalances: serotonin deficiency and lack of noradrenaline.

Home/Digital Humanities
The digital humanities at Stanford sit at the crossroads of computer science and the humanities. Since the 1980's, a wide range of computational tools have enabled humanities scholars to conduct research at a scale once thought impossible. Digital humanities foster collaboration and traverse disciplines and methodological orientations, with projects to digitize archival materials for posterity, to map the exchange and transmission of ideas in history, and to study the evolution of common words over the centuries.
At Stanford, current digital humanities projects implement tools such as 3-D mapping, algorithmic literary analysis, advanced visualization techniques, and digitization of textual corpora in non-Latin languages. Researchers experiment and interact with source materials in ways that yield new findings, while also building community and sharing information.
Stanford scholars harness new technologies through an array of digital humanities initiatives:
Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA)
CESTA is an internationally renowned digital humanities center located in Wallenberg Hall on Stanford's campus. There, humanities scholars collaborate with qualified professional staff in an open research space that brings together interdisciplinary research teams made up of seasoned researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars who collaborate on projects with the necessary software and hardware tools. CESTA also offers opportunities for fellows and affiliates of the Stanford Humanities Center to pursue digital humanities projects, to participate in workshops and training sessions, and to publish the results of their work online.
Go to the CESTA Lab
The Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research (CIDR)
CIDR is a team of humanists and social scientists within Stanford University Libraries who promote digital scholarship by developing new tools and methods and integrating technology and information resources. Their expertise in data discovery, data creation, data management, and analytical tools supports the generation and dissemination of new knowledge. CIDR enables digital research and teaching to encourage and inspire innovative scholarship throughout the University.

The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA)
CCRMA is a multi-disciplinary facility housed on Stanford's campus in the Knoll where composers and researchers work together using computer-based technology both as an artistic medium and as a research tool. CCRMA collaborates across such disciplines as music, electrical engineering, computer science, art, and drama. The center offers academic courses, seminars, small interest group meetings, summer workshops, and colloquia. Concerts featuring computer-generated music also occur several times each year.

The Digital Humanities Focal Group (DHFG)
Part of Stanford's Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages (DLCL), DHFG promotes digital research on underrepresented literatures and cultures to counteract the English-language dominance of much work in the field. Through lectures, workshops, curriculum, and the development of digital humanities research projects, DHFG promotes faculty and graduate research in the digital humanities— especially those eligible for grant-funded opportunities. Faculty and graduate students share work in progress, discuss the state of the field, and identify important research that should be shared within the DLCL and related academic communities.

Project Bravo. New 109meter long superyacht from Oceano.
Oceanco's 109m/357ft 'Project Bravo' was launched on 17 November 2018. Bravo is a prime example of Oceanco's new wave of forward-thinking yachts. With her naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects, exterior design and layout by Nuvolari Lenard and interior by Reymond Langton Design, Bravo is unlike any preceding Oceanco. She is the first Oceanco to utilize its innovative LIFE (Lengthened, Innovative, Fuel-efficient, Eco-friendly) design. LIFE revolves around intelligent naval architecture that leverages a number of fundamental principles, which create a harmonious balance between weight, power, technical areas and luxury interior on board.
James Roy, director of Lateral Naval Architects comments, "The LIFE design's use of advanced hybrid propulsion incorporating significant battery capability, combined with a single tier engine room allows novel use of space to deliver areas of outstanding luxury accommodation."
Bravo embodies Oceanco's expertise in building large complex yachts, whereby project management proficiency played an integral part in Bravo's success. "A bespoke project of such magnitude and splendor will always present interesting challenges and opportunities" says owner's representative, Burgess. "With Project Bravo we created a truly spectacular yacht whose excellence is a clear reflection of the commitment of a dynamic and professional project team."
After the innovations introduced with "Alfa Nero", Oceanco asked us to "raise the bar" and create another remarkable and revolutionary design, says Dan Lenard, senior partner of Nuvolari-Lenard. "Our approach with Bravo was to maintain a stunningly sleek profile without sacrificing any interior space. This new exterior style concept is bound to create a new design stream. It is important to us that we started this new stream together with Oceanco"
The yacht's elegant contemporary interior compliments the exterior design. Pascale Reymond, partner in Reymond Langton Design, says, "We worked with artisans and craftsmen to create bespoke artworks, fabrics and signature furniture pieces that all combine to create a warm, inviting environment on board for the Owner's family and guests."
Bravo pushes the limits within the world of superyachts to a new level! | {

Regardless of your income level or economic standing purchasing a house is a pretty big deal. You're likely going to spend more money on the house than you would even think about splurging on another item because you're hoping that you're making an investment that will pay off both now and in the future. Although you have probably already contracted with a real estate agent and are being assisted throughout the home buying process, you also need to think about the legal aspect of the deal. Hiring a real estate attorney can be highly beneficial, and the following information will help you see why it is an essential move that you need to look into.
If you buy a house without conducting a title check, you could be signing up for much more than just a piece of property. The importance of having a clean title simply cannot be stressed enough. Failing to do your due diligence in regards to this critical piece of the property buying puzzle might just turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes you've ever made.
You just never know if there are possibly one or more liens against the title of the house that you are looking to purchase. Liens can come from so many different parties, including contractors who may have done work on the house and were never paid or even debtors who were granted a judgment against the former homeowners because of an unpaid debt. Once you sign for the house and take ownership of it any liens on the title could also then become your responsibility.
That's why it is so vital for you to hire a real estate attorney before you purchase a piece of property. Let them perform a thorough check against the title of the house you want to make sure it's clean.
It's also helpful to hire a lawyer because they understand how to decipher contracts. There's no reason for you waste time trying to figure out the legalese that can be found in some of the more complex real estate contracts. Your attorney will be right there to break it all down for you.
Working with a real estate attorney makes buying a house so much easier. Reach out to one of these lawyers and get them on your realty case right away. | {

A married teacher claims that she could not have had sex with a student because she is too short for the position in question.
Kandice Barber, 35, is accused of committing a sexual act on the unnamed 15-year-old boy and having sex with him while standing.
Amersham court heard she was previously convicted in a trial in September last year for sending a video to the boy, showing her pleasuring herself while on a bed surrounded by toys sexual intercourse and sexually communicating with the complainant.
The complainant, who is now 18, appeared via video link, claims he also met Barber for sexual activity on three occasions.
Nadia Chbat, defending Barber, asked him about an alleged sexual incident while he was standing: "You accept that she is quite short, she is only about five feet, right? So you were taller than her back then, were you? You didn't even think she could reach your shoulders back then, did you?
During re-examination by prosecutor Richard Milne, the boy said he had "crouched down" and bent his knees to get around the height difference.
Kandice Barber denies the offenses (Photo: Hyde News & Pictures Ltd)
The boy couldn't name the specific dates when the sexual activity took place, but he said it was from October 11, 2018 and just before mid-term, with two of the meetings he did. said it took place before and after her 16th birthday.
On one occasion, he said that Barber drove them to the side of a busy main road and parked so the boy could do a sex act on him, before they got out of the car and she gave him a blowjob in a wooded area while he was lying down. on the ground.
The court heard that before informing its principal of the allegations, the schoolboy threatened to "ruin" the teacher's life if he could not reconnect with her, promising that she would lose her family.
Ms Chbat, cross-examining the boy, said: "You, I suggest, had become obsessed with Mrs Barber, haven't you? You, I suggest, wanted more contact with her again.
"The threat, I suggest, is 'If you don't talk to me, watch what happens, you will lose your job and your family.'
"The phone calls of March 10, 2018, I suggest, are you and her arguing on the phone. She would tell you to leave her alone and you would talk to each other and threaten to tell the police about your communication. She hung up on you.
"I suggest the communication was threatening, that if she didn't get back in touch with you, you would ruin her life," the defense lawyer said.
Ms Chbat added that her client said that no sexual activity had taken place and that it was all lies, which the complainant denied via the video link.
Barber, from Wendover in Buckinghamshire, denies three counts of causing or instigating a child under 16 to engage in sex.

Created on 2018-05-26 23:14 by terry.reedy, last changed 2018-10-14 00:41 by terry.reedy. This issue is now closed.
On my Win 10 system with a 2560 x 1440 27" monitor, the text is noticeably sharper, some colors are brighter, and some characters are better formed. The main effect seems to be from properly lining up vertical and horizontal lines with the pixels. Lines that are supposed to be 1 or 2 pixels wide are just that, instead of bleeding over onto additional rows or columns.
By comparing IDLE's shell with Windows consoles with the same font and text, both for Command Prompt and Python x.y consoles, I determined that the Windows consoles have DPI awareness on. The text is longer with it off and some character shapes, such as for 2 and 3, don't match, whereas text length and shape matches perfectly with it on.
At least some other apps also have DPO awareness on. With the patch, the Open and Save As dialogs opened opened by from IDLE, via the tkinter/tk function, match those opened by Firefox. Without the patch, not.
I like the improvement and with 3.7.0rc1 delayed, would like to get it in now. My question for you Windows experts is 1. Is the above exactly the right thing? and 2. Should it be unconditional, or is there a possible downside? Do consoles always have DPI awareness, or is it conditional on the monitor?
I will make a PR as soon as I post this and get an issue number.
I changed the bare except: to 'except AttributeError:'. If ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness exists, can calling it with True ever fail?
I'm not a Windows expert, but looking that the API description the patch is not entirely correct.
The API takes an integer with 3 valid values, the patch effectively passes the value 1 (which means the application claims to be DPI aware, but won't scale itself when the DPI changes for some reason).
The API can fail, but that shouldn't cause an exception as ctypes won't automaticly convert error return values to exceptions.
P.S. The pull request seems to contain an unrelated change as well.
Does Tcl/Tk have a function for this, and/or should we expose this as a function in Tkinter? Do other platforms (macOS, X/Wayland) have similar functions?
Perhaps the argument should be 2 for supporting multi-display configuration. Currently I can't do this, but will test this recipe with Hi-DPI monitor and multiple displays after 1-2 weeks.
Ronald: I agree that an int should be passed. I understand your ctype comment as saying that an attribute error before making the call should be the only possible exception.
I should have explained the 'unrelated change' to the one entry box. With the default size of 20, it no longer fits properly after the change. Adding an explicit size was the easiest fix for something that is only present for test and demonstration purposes. A better fix, which is not needed for this issue, would probably be to add a 'expand=True' or something, somewhere else.
I checked all the other panes on the settings dialog and the other major dialog boxes and found no problems.
Zack: I had the same question. Now that I know that IDLE as a tk app *can* look 'sharp', the current fuzzyness is annoying. I would not be surprised if it contributes to some of the negative opinions about IDLE.
is that is can mess up spacing on current windows. But to me, it definitely should be available.
I don't know if other systems have such a setting, or any need for such. I will ask an someone who uses IDLE both in Windows and Ubuntu on the same machine to compare.
Serhiy: I have a space monitor and I believe my graphics card will allow me to attach one, so I may give it a try.
means. It appears that making one call before any tkinter calls is the right thing to do if any call is to be made.
The call does not appear to be available on Windows 7 or 8.0.
Eryk Sun commented on the PR.
The correct value to pass is the one that best describes what the app does. I believe that 0 is wrong and 1 more likely than 2.
Three people describe fuzzy tk text as a well-known problem, fixed by SetProcessDpiAwareness(1).
https://wiki.tcl.tk/8484 tk has a scaling function that gets and sets a scaling factor, dpi/72 = pixels per printer point. "The initial value for the scaling factor is set when the application starts, based on properties of the installed monitor." This also suggests to me also that default 0 for awareness is wrong value. Users (apps) can changes this, but I see no suggestion that monitor changes are tracked.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt748620(v=vs.85).aspx gives the syntax for adding dpiAwareness to the Windows manifest.
As reported on #26698, which was originally opened as an IDLE issue, but which I turned into a tkinter issue, one can also sharpen text buy opening python(w).exe properties, Compatibility tab, clicking [Change high DPI settings], and then checking Override high DPI scaling behavior while leaving the default 'Application'. The effect is the same as 'SetProcessDpiAwareness (1)' -- or (2) if monitor is not changed.
Eric, thanks for the additional reference. From Window's viewpoint, Python, not IDLE, is the application. IDLE is just input data. I should not touch Python's manifest, and changing it would have to consider other possible gui module input data.
This page says it applies only to Win10 desktop. The page for SetProcessDpiAwareness says it applies to 8.1+. That still excludes Vista and Win7, but is better than just Win10.
So maybe add the dpiAware and dpiAwareness settings to the manifest for just Windows' pythonw.exe and leave the python.exe console interpreter alone? I'm going to guess that the pythonw.exe manifest already has some settings related to its unique status that align with this.
I'm okay to add it to the manifest for both in 3.8, along with a What's New entry.
High DPI screens are very common though, and adding it to existing releases won't allow existing apps or frameworks to account for the change. I don't want non-DPI aware apps to suddenly become unreadably small with a minor runtime update. Backporting Python-specific docs is fine.
Steve, I would like to add the SetProcessDpiAwareness(1) call to IDLE tomorrow, for 3.7.0 and 3.6.6. Do I need to make it an avoidable option? Can it hurt people on some machines? It seems to me that if tk is doing dpi scaling, then it should always be correct to tell Windows that it is doing so.
If you want to add it to the winapi module rather than use ctypes that's fine too.
Thanks everyone for the help. I think this is the right patch, but as with many IDLE patches, it is hard to be sure until it is in use. At least there is no question here of tk Windows-Linux-MacOS differences. I checked that the Win 7 buildbots are OK with the PR.
Serhiy: My interpretation of the tk scaling doc is that 1, not 2, is the right argument. But we can test to be sure. I meant 'spare monitor', not 'space monitor'. But I need to find one with a substantially different DPI.
Steve: changing the binaries' manifests is a separate issue, not limited to IDLE or even tkinter. And 3.8 enhancements do nothing for IDLE on 3.6 and 3.7. Ditto for a new WinAPI.
Reopening, temporarily, to add change requested by Eryk Sun after the merge.
Since there should be time before .rcs are cut, I changed the idlelib NEWS.txt entry to mention color changes, based on editing with the change in place.
I can't test on multiple monitors, but I tested on a single HiDPI monitor. With 1 it looks much better than with 0. With 2 it looks the same as with 1 on HiDPI, but doesn't scale well after changing the resolution of the display. I suppose there are the same problems on multi-monitor configuration. Thus the value 1 is the correct one.
ctypes is optional. It would be better to catch an ImportError from importing it.
pass # The ctypes-using fix is not essential.
But, in what sense is ctypes optional *on Windows* more than most other modules? I don't see anything in the ctypes doc. It is normal to depend on stdlib modules being present and not wrap imports.
Steve: does the Windows installer have an option to omit ctypes? I don't remember one.
Anyone: do you know of any CPython Windows distributions that we care about that omit ctypes?
1. This is a theoretical concern that does not justify adding noise to the code.
2. This is a real concern, but so rare that the fix can be deferred to 3.6.7 and 3.7.1.
3. This is likely common enough that we should ask Ned to cherry-pick the patch into 3.6.6 and 3.7.1.
I just ran the 3.7.0rc1 installer and here is no option to omit ctypes.
There's no option to omit ctypes, though I am aware of some custom builds of Python that exclude it. I don't think you need to worry about those being used for IDLE (but of course the general policy of the stdlib not relying on ctypes remains).
I don't know whether this is a theoretical or a real concern, but I think this fix can wait for 3.7.1.

There is still no rush as guarding the ctypes import on Windows builds that can run IDLE may never be needed. But I grepped the stdlib .py code and uuid is the only .py module that imports ctypes, and all are directly or indirectly guarded in the code or test_uuid. So I moved the import inside the existing try block and added ImportError to those caught. | {

Where to go and what to do in case of illness or emergency?
If possible, always consult a GP with any health problems. You should only go to the Accident and Emergency Department (EHBO) in a hospital in the case of severe illness and /or injury. Your medical insurance will not reimburse the high costs of a consultation in the Accident and Emergency department if the visit is for an illness which could be handled by a GP or by the Centrale Huisartsenpost. There is an EHBO in all hospitals.

PEOPLE THAT PISS ME OFF: THE "CONCERNED CITIZEN"
July 31, 2011 / Bink Seavey / ARTICLES
My former neighbor is a concerned citizen; typically, a middle aged, middle class–male or female–white person with a slew of insecurities stemming from an unfulfilling existence brought about by a succession of poor decisions. Or perhaps a micro penis. The concerned citizen has no shame, and will stop at nothing to assure the masses, or at least, the neighborhood that they're concerned with what everyone else is doing. "Get off my property!", "I'm calling the cops!", "My taxes paid for this damn park!" are the common phrases in the concerned citizen's vocabulary, but they can be hard to spot since they come in all varieties.
There are several types of concerned citizens, like the guy who could have been the star quarterback, but he drank a little too much one night and raw romped his ex, Cathy the catholic pin cushion, who shat out an eighteen year investment with a ROI of "fuck you, I can do whatever I want." Twenty or so years down the road, he's separated from his wife, living in a shit hole off of MLK Blvd. and managing Barry's Burger Joint when he's not drunk on MD 20/20 and lathering his dysfunctional wet noodle. He's a "Get off my property!" concerned citizen.
Then there are the typical old hags, like Cathy, who married her high school sweetheart after he knocked her up. She quickly settled into a life of underachievement in Middle America and started making babies. Cathy pooped out four more turds for offspring, before realizing the only thing her husband was good for is a pay check and load of life every now and again. So she kicked him out of his own house, but since she's a woman of faith, refuses to officially divorce him. Her hobbies include mixing her children's prescriptions with various boxed wines, and yelling, "I'm calling the cops!" at other people's children.
Regardless of the roads they take, all concerned citizens arrive at the same intersection, of insanity and idiocy. They are driven by self-interest and a deluded sense of what the world should be, fueled by their own insecurities and short comings. They're not afraid to share these ideas in lame and despicable ways, like calling the cops on five year olds for pissing where humans have pissed for centuries, or yelling at anyone who seems to be enjoying their day. No booze in the park. No skating on sidewalks. No loud music. No late shows. No fun.
And reasoning with these people is out of the question. The brain of the concerned citizen operates in mysterious ways, often acting on impulses before they're processed in the pre-frontal cortex–the simulator of the brain. These defective balls of grey matter aren't hard-wired for bargaining, logical thinking, or, really, much thinking outside personal gratification. And, unfortunately, they turn perfectly able bodies into little more than restless chimpanzees. Restless chimpanzees with cars, houses, boats and firearms.
It's best to avoid confrontations with the concerned citizen, but if must indulge yourself, heckle from a safe distance and leave as soon as you see a cell phone. Maybe you can piss in their bushes later, but for now, go home, sit your ass down and bitch about it on the internet. The police will be on their way shortly.

Intellectual Property Cases in India
Written by Avani Yadav
This article talks about meaning of intellectual property and also gives information about important intellectual property cases.
Intellectual Property Meaning
Property is corporal property and incorporeal property or tangible property and intangible property. Intellectual property meaning is a right pervading some material object. Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners by law. The intangible products of a man's brain are as valuable as his land, building, goods, money, belongings etc. it is quite different from real property or a formal property. In fiction, it is a property. Therefore called as intellectual property. The rights relating to the intellectual property however recognized by law as the subject matter of rights of various intangible or immaterial products is human intelligence, skills and labor. In short intellectual property is basically a creation of intellect or relates to intellect. Intellectual property rights are legal rights which govern the use of creations of the human mind and work.
Intellectual property rights (IPRs) thus granted to the creators of IP, and include trademarks, copyright, patents, industrial design rights, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets. Artistic works including music and literature, as well as discoveries, inventions, words, phrases, symbols, and designs can all protected as intellectual property.
Here are some some Intellectual Property cases which are as follows:-
Intellectual Property cases
Satyam Infoway Ltd. v. Sifynet Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Supreme Court of India AIR 2004 SC 3540
This is a very famous and landmark case where the Supreme Court of India decided on the issue of domain name protection for the first time in its history. This was the case wherein the apex court declared that the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999 was applicable to the regulation of domain names as well.
Satyam Infoway (hereinafter referred to as the appellant) had registered several domain names pertaining to its business: sifynet.com, sifymall.com, sifyrealestate.com, in the year 1999. It held that the word "Sify" was a combination of elements of its corporate name "Satyam Infoway" and was a term that had garnered substantial goodwill in the market. Meanwhile, Sifynet Solutions (hereinafter referred to as the respondent) had started using the word "Siffy" as part of the domain names under which it carried on internet marketing (namely siffynet.com and siffynet.net). It claims to have registered the same in the year 2001.
Subsequently the appellant filed a suit in City Civil Court, Bangalore seeking an injunction against the respondent. The appellant held that the respondent had registered the similar sounding domain names intentionally in order to carry out their business transactions under the goodwill and brand name of the former. And that it would create a confusion in the minds of the public who would think that the services of Sifynet belongs to Satyam Infoway. The respondent contended that unlike a trade mark, the registration of a domain name did not confer an intellectual property right in the name.
The court ruled in favor of the appellant and granted the injunction in their favor. It held that the appellant was the prior user of the word 'Sify' as a result of which it enjoyed immense popularity and goodwill in relation to internet and other computer related services. Thereby, if the respondent is allowed to further continue with the use of the domain names it would in all likelihood create confusion in the minds of the public. And that it may in all possibility affect the business of the appellant.
Thereafter, the respondents appealed to the Karnataka High Court. The Court stated that respondent had already invested a considerably high amount of sum in developing a customer base for its business and it would consequently suffer immense hardship and irreparable injury if the court ruled in the appellant's favor. Further it held that the business which the parties engaged in were different and therefore there was no likelihood of any confusion in the minds of the public.
Not satisfied with the decision given by the Karnataka High Court, the appellants went for an appeal before the Supreme Court of India. The case was decided by a division bench comprising Justices Ruma Pal and P. Venkatarama Reddi. It set aside the decision of the High Court and ruled in favor of the appellants. It held that though no there was no law in India which explicitly deals with the domain names, it falls within the ambit of the Trade Marks Act. Then it further observed that a domain name enjoyed all features of a trademark. Accordingly it ruled that if the respondent was allowed to further continue using the domain names it would in all likelihood create a confusion in the minds of the general public. A user could be diverted to the website containing the unauthorized domain name. And upon his arrival at the website, if he does not find the goods or services associated with the mark, he might think that the legitimate owner was misrepresenting the claims. This would result in the loss for the legitimate owner, thereby affecting his goodwill and brand name.
Thus the apex court granted an injunction in favor of the appellants, thereby restraining the respondents from further using the domain names in their business transactions.
DM entertainment v Baby Gift House and ors. [MANU/DE/2043/2010]
Daler Mehndi, the most famous pop star hailing from Punjab has created a niche audience and is immensely popular amongst Punjabi-pop music lovers. The appellant company was incorporated in 1996 to manage the artist's escalating career. The crux of the case is that the defendants had prolific businesses in selling miniature toys of Daler Mehndi and majorly cashed on to his popularity. Majorly aggrieved, the plaintiff company filed for permanent injunction from infringing the artist's right of publicity and false endorsement leading to passing off.
The plaintiff company had been assigned all the rights, titles and interests in the personality of the artist along with the Trademark, Daler Mehndi. It was contended by the plaintiff that the unauthorized or unlicensed use of or any part of the reputation of the artist, with respect to goods or services of any manner will lead to make an impression on the public that the goods or services are associated with the singer. And hence, it was submitted that such a use would lead to passing off. It was further averred by the plaintiff that such use was done for commercial exploitation without adequate permission from the person or any other authorized by him, shall constitute infringement of the person's right to publicity.
Section 29 of the Trademark Act-1999 (hereinafter the Act) lays down the aspects of infringement of trademark. It elucidates that a when a person is using, in course of trade any mark, which is identical or deceptively similar to a registered mark and which he is not entitled or licensed to use shall be deemed to infringe onto the rights of the person who has the lawful right over the mark.
The Act does not give a specific description of passing off as a result it has been derived through judicial precedents drawn from common law. Put simply , passing off would occur when the mark is not only being used deceptively similar to the mark of another but it is being used to create confusion in the minds of the consumer that results in the damage or loss of business for the person or company who/which is the lawful owner of the trademark.
Character merchandising is an area of law which is unexplored in India. The first case that dealt with this was Star India Private Limited v Leo Burnett India (Pvt.) Ltd. The courts in India in these earlier cases, had not dealt with publicity rights. In this case the Court did so quite emphatically. The court meted out a compensatory amount to the tune of Rs. 1,00,000 to the Plaintiff. The intent of the judiciary is clear.
The Coca-Cola Company Vs. Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd [Manu/DE/2698/2009]
The Delhi High Court held that if the threat of infringement exists, then this court would certainly have jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
It was also held that the exporting of goods from a country is to be considered as sale within the country from where the goods are exported and the same amounts to infringement of trademark.
In the present matter, the defendant, Bisleri by a master agreement, had sold and assigned the trademark MAAZA including formulation rights, know-how, intellectual property rights, goodwill etc for India only with respect to a mango fruit drink known as MAAZA to Coca-Cola.
In 2008, the defendant filed an application for registration of the trade mark MAAZA in Turkey started exporting fruit drink under the trademark MAAZA. The defendant sent a legal notice repudiating the agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, leading to the present case. The plaintiff, the Coca Cola Company also claimed permanent injunction and damages for infringement of trademark and passing off.
It was held by the court that the intention to use the trademark besides direct or indirect use of the trademark was sufficient to give jurisdiction to the court to decide on the issue. The court finally granted an interim injunction against the defendant (Bisleri) from using the trademark MAAZA in India as well as for export market, which was held to be infringement of trade mark.
John Richard Brady & Others. v. Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd, Delhi High Court AIR 1987 Delhi 372
This is a case concerning the legal principle of copyright infringement involving trade secrets and engineering. John Richard Brady (hereinafter referred to as Brady) was a Mechanical Engineer from the U.S and also the President and Managing Director of Fometa Overseas S.A. Castellana, Madrid, Spain. He conceived the idea of growing fresh green grass used as basic food for livestock in a compact unit capable of producing grass throughout the year irrespective of external climatic conditions. Thereafter in 1972 he developed the original Fodder Production Unit (hereinafter referred to as the FPU). After carrying out extensive research and experiments, he invented an improved Fodder Production Unit. He applied for grant of patent in India in relation to the FPU and his patent application was pending. Brady was the owner of copyright in the drawings of the FPU and was entitled to the exclusive right of publishing and reproducing the drawings whether two dimensionally or three dimensionally as he considered apt.
For these purposes Brady set up two companies in India: Fometa (India) Machine Private Ltd, a joint venture company and Sanjeevani Fodder Production Private Ltd. Accordingly he along with the members of the two companies decided that a phased programme should be adopted to manufacture the FPU in India for both domestic and export sales. For the manufacture of the FPU, the he sought quotations from Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd for the supply of thermal panels manufactured by it. The panels required were of highly specialized type and order. And to enable the company to manufacture the components of the FPU precisely, all the technical material, detailed know how, drawings and specifications concerning the FPU were passed on them under the express condition that it must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all the information given. Later, Brady discovered the inability of the company to supply the required thermal panels and cancelled all the orders given to them. It was alleged that Managing Director along with other representatives of the company made several visits to Goa where Brady's FPU was in operation in order to acquire the working know how and technology of the FPU. Some of these visits were without the knowledge of Brady who was later informed about them by his employees. Thereafter in November, 1985 he came to know that Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd was developing their own FPU by falsely representing that the innovation concerning the FPU was originated from them. The company described the Machine produced by them as 'pushti'. And a suit was filed in the Delhi High Court by Brady seeking for an injunction which would restrain Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd from manufacturing and selling machines that were substantial imitation and reproduction of the drawings of the former's FPU or from using in any other manner whatsoever the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information about the FPU disclosed to them by the former.
Brady contended that the Machine produced by the company was entirely based upon disclosures made them formerly and that they committed breach of confidence reposed in them. They wrongfully converted and misappropriated the know how information, drawings, designs, and specifications disclosed to them under strict confidentiality and have also infringed the his copyright by making the Machine in three dimensional form. He further contended that the Machine produced by the company was an inferior version of his own FPU. He claimed claim jurisdiction of this court to entertain and try the suit under Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 on the ground that he has been carrying on his business along with the two companies he set, for profit and gain at Delhi and that the Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd have also been circulating pamphlets of the infringing Machine and offering it for sale at Delhi.
However, Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd contended that they have neither infringed copyright of Brady nor are they liable for breach of any confidence reposed on them. They denied that the technical Drawings of the FPU are artistic work, but they did not didn't oppose the fact that Brady was the owner of the copyrights in the Drawings. They further contended that there were other firms making such Machines in the international market for a long time, namely, LAND SAVERS and SOMERSET ZERO GRASS U.K. and DHANY A, India. And that the FPU was based on the long known theory of Hydroponic System. Hence they completely denied that Brady gave them any Drawings or technical material or know how concerning the FPU. They further questioned the territorial jurisdiction of this Court on the ground that Brady did not actually reside in Delhi nor does he carry on any business in Delhi and that they themselves do not reside or work in Delhi.
The case was decided by a Single Judge Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising of Justice A B Saharya. He ruled that unless Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd was restrained by injunction, irreparable injury and loss would be caused to Brady and his establishments by the former if they continue to manufacture and sell their Machine. Further he laid down that it was in the interest of justice to restrain the company from using the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information regarding Brady's FPU entrusted to them under express condition of strict confidentiality.
Thus, the court restrained the Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd from manufacturing and selling machines that were substantial imitation and reproduction of the drawings of Brady's FPU or from using in any other manner whatsoever the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information about the FPU disclosed to them by Brady.
Colgate Palmolive Co. Ltd & Another. vs. Mr. Patel & Others., Delhi High Court 2005 PTC (31) 583
This is a case relating to the legal principle of infringement of a trademark. It was decided by a Single Judge Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising of Justice M Mudgal.
Colgate Palmolive Co. Limited (hereinafter referred to as the plaintiffs) is a company that has been manufacturing and marketing dental products in India under the well-known trademark 'COLGATE' since 1937. The company undoubtedly is also an international leader in the trade of tooth paste and other dental related products. The plaintiffs registered their trademark in India in the year 1954. Since then they have always marketed their products in red cartons which had the word COLGATE inscribed in white on it. They used a particular font for printing the trademark on the cartons. Further they had even registered their label relating to colors in India in the year 1959. From then on they have been exclusively enjoying the ownership rights over the trademark 'COLGATE' and also the label containing the red and white colors inscribed on it.
In the year 2003 the plaintiffs came to know that Mr. Patel and his company(hereinafter referred to as the defendants) were using the plaintiff's COLGATE trade dress in the packaging of their products with relation to the layout and color combination of the cartons. The defendants used the word 'AJANTA' printed in white color in a red background in their cartons. Subsequently the plaintiffs filed a suit before the Delhi High Court seeking a permanent injunction against the defendants, thereby restraining them from using the trade dress that was similar in layout and appearance even though the names printed on the cartons were different. They contended that the defendants had infringed their trademark and copyrights. And further that they were indulging in unfair competition by trying to sell their products using the brand name of trademark COLGATE.
On the other hand, the defendants contended that there was nothing distinctive in the color combination of the plaintiff's container and that the plaintiff could not have a trademark in color combination. Further they claimed that the red and white label was common to the toothpaste trade.
The Honorable Judge observed that essential feature of the plaintiffs' mark was COLGATE inscribed in white color on a red background and not merely red and white color combination alone. He held that the printing of the word 'AJANTA' on the defendants' cartons in white color on a red background does not give rise to any infringement of the plaintiffs' trade dress. Also affirmed the contention of the defendants that red was a basic color and the red & white color combination is common to the tooth paste trade in the domestic as well as the international market. Hence there cannot be any monopolization of the same by any party. However, he finally held that the defendants were liable for trying to sell their products using the brand name of COLGATE since there was sufficient resemblance between the plaintiffs' and the defendants' product. Further the court ruled that if the defendant alters the packaging there would not arise any question of infringement of the copyright and trademark of the plaintiff. Accordingly the court ordered them to substitute gold for white color in the description of 'AJANTA' in their cartons.
Thus, the injunction application was disposed of by the court and the defendants were permitted to market their products provided they made the required alterations in their packaging of the products.
Bajaj Auto Limited Vs. TVS Motor Company Limited JT 2009 (12) SC 103
This case involved the controversy regarding the unauthorized application of the patent of the DTSi technology. The case became very vital regarding not only the financial stakes of the parties but also regarding the application of the doctrine of pith and marrow also termed as Doctrine of Equivalents.
This case was filed before the Madras High Court in 2007. The plaintiffs (Bajaj Auto Ltd), along with the state of Maharashtra alleged the defendants (T.V.S. Motor Company Ltd.) of infringement of the patents of the plaintiffs, which apprehended the invention of the technology of advanced internal combustion engine. The case engaged the questions of patent infringement by the defendant and the damages for the same. Furthermore, the case threw light upon the argument regarding justification of the risks issued by the defendant of the same case.
The plaintiffs sought remedy of permanent injunction for obstructing the defendants from using the technology or invention prescribed in the patents of the plaintiffs; and for obstructing them from marketing, selling offering for sale or exporting 2/3 wheelers (including the proposed 125cc TVS FLAME motorcycle) that consisted of the disputed internal combustion engine or product that infringed the patent. Damages for infringement of the patent were also claimed by the Plaintiffs.
The Supreme Court of India by this landmark judgement directed all the courts in India for speedy trial and disposal of intellectual property related cases. In this two-year-old dispute involving two companies, which had been locked in a patent dispute over the use of a twin-spark plug engine technology, the Supreme Court observed that suits relating to the matters of patents, trademarks and copyrights are pending for years and years and litigation is mainly fought between the parties about the temporary injunction. The Supreme Court directed that hearing in the intellectual property matters should proceed on day to day basis and the final judgment should be given normally within four months from the date of the filing of the suit. The Supreme Court further directed to all the courts and tribunals in the country to punctually and faithfully carry out the aforesaid orders.

Le Centre d'accès à l'information juridique (CAIJ) est l'organisme qui gère toutes les bibliothèques de droit des associations de barreau du Québec, y compris celle du palais de justice de Montréal. Il offre aussi un portail de ressources en ligne pour démocratiser l'accès à l'information juridique, en permettant de consulter les lois canadiennes et québécoises, la jurisprudence des tribunaux et la doctrine des auteurs juridiques. Avec SOQUIJ, CanLII, Westlaw et LexisNexis Canada, il s'agit de l'un des principaux outils de recherche juridique utilisés par les juristes du Québec.
Cet organisme est le fruit des efforts initiés par les plus hautes autorités juridiques du Québec pour rendre accessibles au public les ouvrages juridiques en leur possession. Les dirigeants du Barreau du Québec ont notamment souhaité sa création. Les travaux qui ont mené à la création du CAIJ ont été commencés à l'époque du bâtonnier Francis Gervais.

When it comes to online casinos, the choice is plenty but to choose the right casino is sometimes not an easy task. Well, one of the new casinos in the online business, Lord Lucky, ticks all the right boxes when it comes to online play. Let's start with safety. With an online gaming license from the Malta Gaming Authority under the patronage of Rabbit Entertainment Ltd, Lord Lucky is definitely under the microscope of one of the strictest online jurisdictions with a huge focus on player and data protection. The MGA license also provides access to most European players as well for other players from around the world, which leads us to the next ticked box: player markets. Lord Lucky offers 4 different languages on its website, namely English, German, Polish and Russian. Each language is also complimented with payment solutions preferred in these territories such as Moneta for Russians, Przelewy24 & Dotpay for people from Poland, Giropay & Sofort for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Let's have a look at the heart and soul of this online casino: games! Lord Lucky is doing a very good job with the selection of games offered. Big hitters such as Gonzo's Quest, Starburst, Twin Spin, Jack and the Beanstalk, Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park and Terminator are all available. In addition to that, land-based slot game giants Merkur and Bally Wullf are also part of their game suite. So overall, we think that this casino is going places and a name like Lord Lucky.. surely makes you want to try your luck!
* Players signing up at LordLucky via Casino Bonus Master will receive €10 free bonus money upon registration. No deposit required! This offer is exclusively available for CBM visitors!
* In addition, players are eligible for an exclusive first deposit bonus as stated above. The 50 free spins do not carry any wagering requirements and can be used on the Starburst slot. Please use bonuscode: CBM200 when making your first deposit.
Both the no-deposit bonus and first deposit bonus is exclusively available for CBM visitors.
Players signing up through CBM receive a €10 no deposit bonus after completing the registration at LordLucky casino.
The €10 free bonus money is subject to a wagering requirement of 40 times. In other words, players are required to wager a total of €400 in the casino before they are allowed to cash out any bonus money or winnings derived from it.
The maximum withdrawal amount from the €10 free bonus money is €100 or other currency equivalents.
All deposit bonuses require a minimum deposit of €10 or other currency equivalents.
All welcome offers at Lord Lucky are subject to a wagering requirement of 40 times the original deposit amount plus received bonus amount (40 x D+B). For example, if you make a first deposit of €50, you will receive an additonal €50 in bonus credits. Before you are allowed to cash out any bonus funds or winnings derived from it, you will be required to wager a total of: 40 x €100 = €4000. Once you have accumulated €4000 in total bets, all funds will be released and therefore can be withdrawn from the casino.
The 50 free spins attached to the exclusive first deposit bonus are free from any wagering requirements.
Please keep in mind that different casino games will count differently towards reducing the wagering requirements. Bets placed on slots will count in full (100%) towards the wagering, this also includes jackpot slots. Bets placed on card and table games count for 20% towards the bonus wagering. Lastly, bets placed on video poker games will count for 5% towards reducing the wagering.
Whilst an active bonus, players are not allowed to place bets higher than €5 per spin and/or game round. Please make sure not to exceed the maximum bet amount. The casino has the right to void winnings if players fail to follow this bonus rule.
If a player has an active bonus and wins more than twice the value of the bonus amount, they must stay playing in a game of similar or equal weighting until the bonus wagering has been completed. Moving from low weighted games like Blackjack, to high weighted games like slots, after a large win, for the purpose of completing the wagering, will result in the bonus and any winnings being removed.
The use of bonus fund purely to progress through the bonus stages of games like Scrooge, Devil's Delight, Aliens, Wish Master, Champion of the Track, Tower Quest, Pearls of India, Tomb Raider 2, Lucky Angler, Big Bang, Robin Hood or similar games, can result in the winnings from the final bonus round voided.
The maximum withdrawal amount from deposit bonuses is €1000 or other currency equivalents.

Summary | Source | Releases | Screenshots | Rationale | Limitations | Author
Metalock is an enhanced screen locker for the X11 windowing system.
It is best described as similar to the program slock, (and in fact, it is based on it) except that it has background image support, and several other features.
It is designed to be used with a background screen daemon, such as xidle.
It is written in C, and is distributed under the terms of the MIT License.
Why write another screen locker, when xscreensaver already exists? I don't like the lock dialog in that program! (I don't like flat colors/like images, and there were some missing features in that program) Additionally, it is a very large program with complex code.
I have been frustrated with the visual limitations of the xscreensaver lock dialog for over a decade, in fact. I simply decided one weekend in early 2012 to address the problem, and it turned out to be trivial to write a similar program starting from the very simple and didactic code of slock. Such is the world of open source / free software, where many issues are resolved immediately, but there is always something that never gets fixed, no matter how many users dislike the status quo.
The author of xscreensaver presents a compelling argument which emphasizes his priority of security/reliability over toolkit support. I agree with the vast majority of what he says, except that I disagree on the importance of the lock dialog appearance. Since it is something that I see fairly often, I would like to have a lock dialog that is visually pleasing.
I believe that with a little work, metalock can be brought to that standard of reliability without being hideously ugly. Metalock is a very small program, and is unlikely to get particularly large in the near future.
Current features include:
Support for pixmap (image) xpm background and login box.
It gives visual feedback as you type the password (Shows username and * for each character of password typed.)
Bind arbitrary commands to key combinations (allows tasks such as pause/un-pause music without unlocking the screen)
Optional XFT support for anti-aliased fonts. (This is optional in case greater security is desired)
Optional Imlib2 support for use of png or jpg formats, which are more appropriate for photos or high-color images than xpm.
In the future, there will also be an accompanying daemon called metaidle, (similar to xidle, except with more features) to match some of the features available in xscreensaver which metalock does not address. (such as support for the heartbeat command, DPMS support, and other features)

Can visit my blog for more information on my experiences..
Wow! You really look prettier after the DEL surgery! Congrats!
Your friends must have said so too? Was any of them not able to recognise you?
How much did you pay for the surgery + medicine etc?
Thanks babyangel11! They are able to recognise me and but all said that i look very different due to my bigger eyes.
Right now, i cannot wait to start on the application of scar removal cream to reduce the appearance of the mini scar on my eyelids..
Wow! The rates are cheap n good results too!
How long is the mini scar on your eyelid? It should be very short, right?
The scar is about 0.5cm.. I can easily cover it with concealer so not really visible..
Dr Chen told me that after one month, swelling will go down by 70-80%... Now it's a month post surgery and the swelling has gone by down 80%.. I can start using the scar removal cream tonight.. Once swelling goes down totally, crease will decrease in height too.. Many people who don't know me cannot tell that i went for surgery.. hahaha..
hi everybody. i am noe in taiwan and i did my rhino with dr kao ytd.
The operation was done in less than two hours. I shaved a bump n got a tip plasty.
after i was wheeled out i rest for abt 30min nmake my way to ng ning to res.my nose kept bleeding n while i was slpingwith my head elevated blood was flowing down..my nose looks very swollen n tall now..waiting for the swelling to subside.
Thanks for sharing trilogytwist! Wishing you the best in the recovery stages!
As soon as you can, if you would, please tell us about your experience and interactions with Dr. Kao and if you could please share some b/a photos!!
Oh Dear,hope u will have a speedy recovery, do monitor bleeding.. Sec day should be much better.All the best to ur result ya!

thank u all for the well wishes. my bleeding today is minimal and my gauze and splint is full of blood n my dried blood in my nose as well. i do not dare to clean my nose as today is only the second day. Nose feels super stuffy.
i am flying off next Friday and i hope i can deswell until i am able to face the public!
Will you be sharing some pics in a few days?
am notbsure whether i will be comfortable sharing picture of my nose.
till now i am beginning to regret gg for this surgery.maybe because i am alone and looking in the mirror is depressing.
wondering why did i go thru all this....zzzz.
Did my surgery on friday night and gg for a follow up with dr kao on tue.at tri hospital..
cannot even think of stepping out my room nt to say gg all the way to another hospital.
my nose is all bloody n i havr no instruction on hw to clean my nose!!!
trilogytwist wrote: am notbsure whether i will be comfortable sharing picture of my nose.
although I've never done rhinoplasty before, cant give u advice on how to take care of your nose, I did p.s alone before and I understand how you are feeling.
Please relax, calm down, and dont keep looking at the mirror.
You may be alone at the moment but your friends and family are all waiting for you back in Singapore.
Watch tv, read magazines whatever..just keep yourself occupied.
Keep telling yourself it will all be fine.
Felt exactly the same too. I was scared and worried the first few weeks after my nose surgery.
which surgeon did you go to?
And what procedures did you do?
but can you tell us in detail about your experience with dr kao?
5 days passed. How's your recovery progress?
I'm planning to have my eyelids and nose surgery done in Taiwan. Problem is, I'm considering 2 different doctors at the same time. | {

A vulnerable 89-year-old man has been targeted by bogus callers who made off with £500 of his cash.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the incident at a house in Colley End Park in Paignton after the victim returned home from shopping at around 11am on Wednesday August 16.
DC Dixie Dean said: "Two unknown men called at the door of the victim ten minutes after he had returned home from being out shopping.
"The men advised that they believed he had a roof leak as they had been working at a neighbouring property when they spotted the leak and that a roof tile may have slipped onto the victim's roof blocking the gutter causing the water to back up into his bathroom.
"One of the men took the victim up to his bathroom and left him there whilst they went out into his back garden in order to look up at his roof. After about ten minutes the victim realised that the two men had not made their way into his back garden and made his way downstairs to his front lounge and noticed that £500 cash had been taken from his wallet on the coffee table.
"The two men are described as white, in their mid-20s with short dark hair. One man was of a larger build with a tanned complexion. The other man was wearing a white top which had some wording in bold letters on the reverse with the word 'Valley' on it.
"No vehicles were seen and the victim's neighbours had not had any builders working for them. We believe the suspects specifically targeted the victim after spotting him walking home and followed him either on foot or in a vehicle.
Zoo breeds its first ever BLUE frog!

Various connectors have been used for smaller devices such as PDAs, mobile phones or digital cameras. These include the now-deprecated (but standardized) Mini-A and the currently standard Mini-B, Micro-A, and Micro-B connectors. The Mini-A and Mini-B plugs are approximately 3 by 7 mm.
The micro-USB plugs have a similar width but approximately half the thickness, enabling their integration into thinner portable devices. The micro-A connector is 6.85 by 1.8 mm with a maximum overmold size of 11.7 by 8.5 mm. The micro-B connector is 6.85 by 1.8 mm with a maximum overmold size of 10.6 by 8.5 mm.
The Micro-USB connector was announced by the USB-IF on January 4, 2007. The Mini-A connector and the Mini-AB receptacle connector were deprecated on May 23, 2007. As of February 2009, many currently available devices and cables still use Mini plugs, but the newer Micro connectors are being widely adopted and as of December 2010, the Micro connectors are the most widely used. The thinner micro connectors are intended to replace the Mini plugs in new devices including smartphones and personal digital assistants. The Micro plug design is rated for at least 10,000 connect-disconnect cycles which is significantly more than the Mini plug design. The Universal Serial Bus Micro-USB Cables and Connectors Specification details the mechanical characteristics of Micro-A plugs, Micro-AB receptacles, and Micro-B plugs and receptacles, along with a Standard-A receptacle to Micro-A plug adapter.
The cellular phone carrier group, Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) in 2007 have endorsed Micro-USB as the standard connector for data and power on mobile devices. These include various types of battery chargers, allowing Micro-USB to be the single external cable link needed by some devices. | {

The design of a port is primarily aimed to provide suitable berthing conditions for the ships. Each ship or craft, depending on its size and

CNWAY and its Associates have successfully completed the study of a small port in Karystos of Evia Island on behalf of the firm "Blue Farm
Marine Fenders provide the necessary interface between the berthing ship and the berth structure and therefore the principal function of the fender is to transform the impact load from the berthing ship into reactions, which both the ship and berth structure can safely sustain (Carl A. Thoressen).
Photo1: Pneumatic marine fenders in use for cruise ship berthing at Rhodes cruise terminal (Rhodes Island - 2012)
Marine fenders typically operate as a group of single units where the type, location and density of their installation or deployment depends on several factors including their technical specifications, berth structure, ship type, etc. (see Photo 1).
The basic function of the marine fenders is to manage the excess kinetic energy of the ship during the approach or berthing operation preventing damage to occur in both the ship and the berth. In case of elastomeric fenders the excess kinetic energy is stored within the elastic elements, which are deformed by developing a counter parallel (to the motion of the ship) reaction force, which results in slowing down the vessel and keeping it to a safe distance from the quay.
The effectiveness of the fender system depends on the following three basic parameters:
The correct system design (selection of suitable fender types and optimum arrangement),
System operation according to the manufacture specifications,
Regular inspection and system maintenance.
The fendering system design is a specialized study which is sometimes omitted or incorrectly performed with the result that money is wasted for the supply of systems which are often unsuitable for the intended use (See photos 2.3 and 4).
Photo 2. V type fender system (Buckling type) with contact plate which does not correspond to the intended needs of the berthed vessel, resulting in the need to suspend used vehicle tires on the contact plate to reduce system rigidity (Port of Sοuda, Adrias Pier – Crete Island - 2011)
Photo 3. As above
Photo 4. Improper selection and installation of fender type resulting in an inefficient operation of the system and the failure of its anchoring (Port of Poros Island - 2014)
Photo 5. Installation of two different V- type fenders in short distance with different technical specifications and controversial operation efficiency (Port of Rhodes Island - 2012)
The successful design of a fender system should follow the following basic steps (PIANC 2002):
Determination of system requirements,
Determination of operating characteristics,
Assessment of the berth type where the system will be installed,
Assessment of design parameters,
Calculation of impact energy which will be received by the fender system (either during berthing or loading and unloading operations),
Appropriate system selection, according to the total energy absorption requirements and system design criteria,
Assessment of the reaction force and the associated frictional forces between fender and vessel,
Berthing vessel resistance capacity check to reaction force generated by the selected fender system.
The correct calculation of the design impact energy is particularly important because the selection of a suitable fender system will be based on that, while generally the principle «the Bigger the Better» does not apply. In fact the fender which has greater energy absorption than that required considering the design ship and the conditions of impact is more rigid developing greater reaction force and exerting inevitably greater pressure on the contact surface with the ship. These fenders require the application of a "larger impact force" to operate which may ultimately cause permanent deformation to the ships metal surfaces if the reaction force is greater than that of metal surface strength. Therefore, instead the impact energy being absorbed and converted to manageable reaction force solely by the fenders, in the case of a "harder" fender that greater force will deform the metallic surface of the vessel as well, causing damage to it.
On the other hand the under sizing of a fender system will cause its failure with adverse consequences to the berth and the vessel.
In many Greek ports improvised questionable quality and efficiency fender systems are used (see fig. 6 and 7) without specifications. In photo 7 a fender system made by used rubber tires can be seen suspended from a quay wall that has experienced damage from its insufficient operation.
Photo 6. Suspended used rubber track tires as marine fenders in a quay wall (Port of Naxos Island - 2010)
Photo 7. Old tires of vehicles with a chain suspended from a vertical quay wall that has experienced damage from its insufficient operation (Port of Souda, Crete Island - 2011)
Finally, equally important is the annual inspection of the fender system for damage. The inspection should be performed by experienced engineers so as to maintain the system in working condition and within the design specifications. In order to prolong the useful life of a system, any damage must be repaired according to product specifications and without altering its functional characteristics.
Photo 8. In the photo is shown a V type fender with contact panel and shear chains with failed anchor system after ship collision (Port of Souda, Crete Island- 2011)
Marine fenders are considered standard equipment for a berth and their effective operation can prevent significant damage to ships and infrastructure. The maintenance cost savings for a marine facility equipped with a well-functioning fendering system is significant and exceeds the purchase, installation and maintenance cost, provided of course that the system design is supported by a comprehensive study. | {

Policy Questions
Where is Europe headed towards in 2050? What is the role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)? What is the role of import dependency in Europe? What will the role of electrification be in the transport sector? What is the future of hydrogen in the EU? What are the costs and gains of current policies?
As part of the PARIS REINFORCE research project, a regional workshop took place on November 21, 2019, in Brussels, Belgium For the co-production of research underpinning new climate policy in Europe. Stakeholders were invited based on their displayed participation or interest in previous European climate policy events, resulting in a sample of over 800 invitations. During the workshop, high-level staff of the EC directorates-general (DGs) for energy, climate and research, ministries and climate-related governmental bodies from EU Member States, international organisations, business representatives, and scientists participated.
The consultation, along with an open crowd-sourcing process carried out via an online polling platform 24 h before the event, resulted in a list of 22 topics, which were broken down into 3 thematic groups.
57 individuals attended the workshop physically, although the event was also livestreamed to allow as large and diversified an audience as possible.
Given the range of proposed questions, participants were given the option to vote (via sli.do1) on and prioritise which questions they would be most interested in discussing. After topic selection, the floor was open for discussion between chairs and audience. Chairs spent 1–2 min introducing the discussion on each topic, and then stakeholders were able to raise any points or questions they had over the proposed research areas. Following the discussion, sli.do voting again allowed stakeholders to vote according to how relevant they see it for the project to follow up on and conduct research in each topic. The process is illustrated below.

From 1990 to 2015, annual CO2 emissions in the EU have decreased an average of 0.9% per year.
Between 2020 and 2030, models project a reduction of CO2 emissions reaching in 2030 -33% to -45% of CO2 emissions compared to 1990.
GHG emissions reduction in 2030 will range between −39% and −51%, compared to 1990 levels.
These figures are insufficient to comply with the new EU Green Deal objective of a 55% GHG reduction target.
These figures show the EU will reach the former −40% milestone, but not yet the new EU Green Deal objective of a 55% GHG reduction target.
In 2050, the median EU CO2 emissions are about 2.1 Gt, with a broad range of about 1.0–2.35 Gt, representing a CO2 emissions drop of −43% to −76% compared to 1990.
Total CO2 emissions
(in the EU across models until 2050)
The chart will present the total CO2 emissions from energy in the EU across models until 2050.
PR_CurPol_CP: Current policies evolving with GDP per capita growth (E3ME, GCAM, Gemini-E3, ICES, MUSE, TIAM)
PR_CurPol_EI: Current policies evolving with 2020-2030 GDP reduction rate (42)
PR_NDC_CP: NDCs evolving with GDP per capita growth (EU-TIMES, NEMESIS)
Variability between models comes from the different mitigation options available, key technologies (e.g. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)), markets and national policies.
When looking into sectors, PR's EU model ensemble results indicate that:
Energy supply is the largest contributor of emissions cuts between 2020 and 2050 in almost all models (with an average of 47%).
On the contrary, median decarbonisation rates in industry (42%), buildings (30%) and transport (32%) differ significantly across models, with industrial CO2 emissions displaying the largest variability.
The two sector-specific models, FORECAST (buildings and industry) and ALADIN (transport) show significant emissions cuts in their sectors, compared to other models.

The chart will present the energy CO2 emissions by sector in the EU across models for 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050.
Different columns in the same time period represent different models and their results for the CO2 emissions.
What is the role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)?
In the policy domain and among specific technologies used in modelling scenarios, CCS is considered a possible option for reducing CO2 emissions, particularly from hard-to-decarbonise sectors, like heavy industries and energy transformation.
However, there are still important barriers, that hinder the large-scale development of these technologies. As seen in the following graph, global, drastic emissions reduction currently depend significantly on these technologies mainly post-2040, although to different extents for each model.
On average, contribution of Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in these models represents approximately 50% of captured CO2 in 2030 and 56% in 2050.
CO2 captured by CCS
Please select among the available models.
E3ME EU-TIMES GCAM MUSE NEMESIS TIAM Gemini-E3
The chart will present the CO2 captured by CCS by sector for 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050.
Limited role of the technology in GEMINI-E3 and NEMESIS reflecting limited decarbonisation resulting from current policy efforts and GEMINI-E3 due to less detailed representation of the technology in power generation).
E3ME and EU-TIMES show a lower rate of CCS penetration in electricity generation.
Global, technology-rich models TIAM, GCAM and MUSE deliver high capture rates.
Different and more ambitious policy efforts may completely change the role of CCS in the longer run.
CCS is a critical factor and game-changing enabler of the deep decarbonisation foreseen, but it becomes so only upon hitting high decarbonisation levels (40–60%).
against CO2 reduction levels
(since 1990, based on European Environmental Agency, 2019)
The chart will present the CO2 captured by CCS against CO2 reduction levels (since 1990, based on European Environmental Agency, 2019).
Our results justify stakeholders' concerns over the potential failure of CCS as a game changer in the EU energy system. We see that, without setting in motion actions to deliver on the EU's increased climate ambitions, as reflected in its December 2020 NDC and broader mid-century vision for climate neutrality, CCS deployment is critical to achieving deep emissions cuts and eventually nearing climate targets. Our results should be interpreted alongside the adopted scenario framework; different policy efforts may completely change the role of CCS even in the longer run.
What is the role of import dependency in Europe?
Currently the EU is a net importer of fossil fuels, but reducing emissions and a transition to renewables will allow the EU to become less reliant on import dependency.
Some Member States have acknowledged the importance of improving energy efficiency, reducing overall gross inland consumption while also targeting more ambitious policies toward increasing domestic renewables.
Imported fuels
(until 2050)
Please select among the available imported fuels.
Coal Gas Oil
Use the scrollbar below to change the timeframe of the chart
The chart will present the imported fuels until 2050 under current policy efforts.
A reduction in coal and oil imports is also expected in 2050, but model results differ regarding the future of gas imports. Gas imports increase in EU-TIMES and GEMINI-E3, while in TIAM tends to reduce in the long run but retain some important role in the transition.
Import dependency
(in relation to CO2 emissions reduction levels)
The chart will present the import dependency in relation to CO2 emissions reduction levels (since 1990, based on European Environmental Agency, 2019).
In TIAM, import dependency decreases in time, in line with the higher decarbonisation efforts compared to the other two models, thereby attesting to future low-carbon energy systems relying less and less on imports, substituted primarily by energy savings and domestic energy resources.
What will the role of electrification be in the transport sector?
EU transport sector electrification
The chart will present the EU transport sector electrification in relation to CO2 emissions reduction levels (since 1990, based on European Environmental Agency, 2019.
All models illustrate increasing electrification through decarbonization, though at differing rates.
Sectoral models, delving deeper into the energy system, indicate that a 39% decrease in CO2 emissions is expected compared to 1990 values due to the electrification in the transport sector.
Both in Europe and globally, the transport sector plays a critical role in transition.
Global transport emissions have been increasing, making up a quarter of direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. In the EU, although transport emissions have stabilised after steady growth until 2007, they still make up 29.6% of total direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered a valuable option to reduce direct emissions and energy intensity of road mode, and their deployment is steeply growing.
(in final energy consumption until 2050)
The chart will present the EU transport sector electrification in final energy consumption in 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050.
Different columns in the same time period represent different models and their results for energy consumption in the transport sector.
What is the future of hydrogen in the EU?
In a low-carbon future, hydrogen is generally expected to grow in order to sustain the decarbonisation of hard-to-electrify demand sectors, like heavy-duty transportation, navigation, aviation, and energy-intensive industries, or used for energy storage sustaining the uptake of large renewable energy shares (RES) in the power sector.
Hydrogen can be produced through a variety of processes and its manufacturing can be energy-intensive and associated with a wide range of emissions, depending on the technology used.
Generally hydrogen production can be divided into fossils based or renewables based.
Brown hydrogen is produced via coal gasification, grey hydrogen is from natural gas, blue hydrogen uses CCS technologies for the greenhouse gases produced via grey hydrogen and green hydrogen production uses renewable energy.
For a more detailed analysis on Hydrogen Production see the European Commission's communication.
Hydrogen production capacities
(by fuel type)
The chart will present the hydrogen production capacities by fuel type foreseen by three IAMS in 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050.
Different columns in the same time period represent different models and their results for hydrogen production.
Most hydrogen production in 2030 is expected to be grey. By 2050, models show conversion to blue hydrogen, underpinning the increase of natural gas in the energy system with reliance on CCS technologies.
These findings indicate that current policies are not enough to drive a complete change from grey to green hydrogen in EU by 2050.
Hydrogen/ electricity comparison
(in final transport and industry demand)
The chart will present he hydrogen production compared to electricity in final industry demand.
Different columns in the same time period represent different models and their results for hydrogen/ electricity comparison in industry demand.
In industry, future scenarios based on current policies also indicate that the share of hydrogen in total final energy demand is negligible in comparison to the role of electricity, estimated at around 1% of total sector consumption in 2030 and 3.5% in 2050.
The chart will present he hydrogen production compared to electricity in final transport.
Different columns in the same time period represent different models and their results for hydrogen/ electricity comparison in transport demand.
In transport, only TIAM shows important hydrogen deployment, delivering 7% of total consumption in 2030 and 17% in 2050. In all other models, hydrogen remains a niche technology achieving in 2050 an average of 0.7% of consumption.
What are the costs and gains of current policies?
Extrapolating into the future
GDP projections are different across model results due to model characteristics and logic.
The two global computable general equilibrium (CGE) models (GEMINI-E3 and ICES) show negative GDP impacts of current policy efforts, relative to their no policy scenario.
The two macroeconometric models, on the other hand, display different behaviour: NEMESIS shows negligible GDP impacts, while E3ME projects positive impacts on GDP.
Both NEMESIS and E3ME models reveal positive impact of a long-term projection of current policy efforts on total employment.
Despite differences in the levels of investments overall, top-down macroeconomic models (GEMINI-E3, NEMESIS, E3ME) show moderate changes between 2020 and 2050. On the other hand, the technology-richer models (EU-TIMES, GCAM) project an acceleration of European investments in the power sector from 2020 to 2050, with both models showcasing a 2.5-fold increase.

Our team of certified computer repair technicians will implement an affordable computer security solution for your business. Businesses need to secure their data in Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Agoura Hills. You and your clients personal information maybe at risk to many types of internet attacks. Call us and learn how to secure your businesses data today.
Malicious hackers attacked Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) India online retail store on Sunday evening, publishing obscured screenshots that appeared to contain personal user information.
A Chinese hacker group known as "Evil Shadow Team" took responsibility for the breach, posting a message on Microsoft's website stating that the "unsafe system will be baptized." In what seemed to be a warning against Microsoft's unencrypted user information, the group posted screenshots of what appeared to be partially obscured user information, including login IDs and passwords.
The group apparently found that information in plain-text, as opposed to encrypted files.
The hackers refrained from publishing any screen shots that fully gave away user information, but Microsoft and Quasar Media, the Indian company that runs the retail site, advised users that they should change their log-on immediately.

As of Tuesday morning in the U.S., the breached site was still down. Microsoft did not respond to our requests for comment.
Microsoft joins a growing group of large companies that have been forced to deal with recent security breaches from relatively small, under-the-radar groups of hackers.
"When the CIA and FBI networks are compromised at will, it should surprise no one that a company like Microsoft could have an isolated part of its sprawling network compromised," Larry Walsh, president of the 2112 Group, told TechNewsWorld..
Powerful networks and international government agencies are seeing a rise in cyberattacks in response to unpopular decisions, such as the U.S. government's recent crackdown on sites such as Megaupload and illegal file-sharing. Networks have been compromised by groups such as Anonymous, which state they're using hacktivism to spread a political or social message.

In addition to attacks in protest or the promotion of causes, though, retail and e-commerce sites have been taking more hits lately as well.
The hacking group LulzSec got into Sony's (NYSE: SNE) systems last summer, obtaining users' personal information such as e-mail addresses, birthdates and passwords. The incident wreaked havoc with Sony's online services for weeks while it scrambled to plug the holes.
"While some hacking methods are questionable and in fact illegal, they do reveal the insecurity of our digital world," said Walsh.
Taking the necessary precautions to avoid that insecurity is an absolute necessity in today's climate, according to Mike Lloyd, CTO of RedSeal Networks.
"To prevent this, likely targets need to use automation to understand weaknesses; today, it's all too easy for those who feel like it is to use their own automation tools to deface, degrade or even destroy online infrastructure," said Lloyd.
Although Microsoft's U.S. security policies might have included encrypting data, a site run by a company on an entirely different continent might not adhere to the same policy.
The growing threat of cyberattacks and increasingly vulnerable commerce sites need to serve as a warning to consumers about thinking twice before sending highly personal data online.
"The important thing to remember in all of this is there's no such thing as 100 percent secure. Every site is vulnerable, just as your home is vulnerable to burglary. You can lock your windows and doors; you can even have an alarm system. But if someone wants into your house and they are determined, they will find a way in. It's the same with every website and online application," said Walsh.Keep hackers out of business wired networks and wireless networks in Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Agoura Hills, with ABComputer Repair's comprehensive computer security.
