Phil Spector Produces New Album -- For Wife
5/25/2010 by Jill Sergeant
Phil Spector has produced his first major recording project in 30 years -- a debut album for his wife Rachelle, her publicist said.
Spector, 70, who is serving a minimum 19 years in prison for the 2003 shooting death of a Hollywood actress, produced and arranged all 10 tracks for "Out of My Chelle" during his two murder trials.
"She's fantastic on this album," Spector said of his wife in a statement.
Spector created the distinctive "Wall of Sound" technique in the 1960s and in his heyday worked with star ranging from The Ronettes to the Beatles.
The album for Rachelle Spector features upbeat, mainstream adult pop with a multilayered feel but which is a "distinct departure" from the "Wall of Sound."
Spector married Rachelle Short, now 29, in 2006, three years after being arrested for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. Short is his fourth wife.
The couple worked on the album for more than two years between Spector's first trial, which ended in a mistrial in 2007, and his second, which ended with his conviction in April 2009.
The album will be released digitally on June 8.

US Capitol Riot
FBI Arrests Trump Supporter Who Stormed Capitol While on Bail for Attempted Murder
Matthew Beddingfield, of North Carolina, was first identified by online sleuths two months after the Jan. 6 attack
Published February 8, 2022 • Updated on February 8, 2022 at 3:24 pm
Pacific Press
WASHINGTON — A Jan. 6 rioter who stormed the Capitol while he was out on bail for attempted first-degree murder was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday, more than 10 months after he was first identified by online sleuths.
Matthew Jason Beddingfield, of North Carolina, faces felony charges of assaulting officers, impeding officers during a civil disorder, and carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon on restricted Capitol grounds, as well as several misdemeanors, according to court records.
Beddingfield was first publicly identified in a HuffPost story in March after online sleuths investigating the Jan. 6 attack used facial recognition to find his mugshot and then confirmed his identification with the help of his father's Facebook page. Beddingfield traveled to D.C. on Jan. 6 with his father, a fellow Donald Trump supporter who also believed the former president's lies about a stolen election.
The two had attended a November 2020 rally in D.C. in support of Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss. Images that Beddingfield's father posted of that rally showed his son wearing identical Nike sneakers and carrying the same pole attached to an American flag as he did on Jan. 6.

Kohima: The Congress in Nagaland lambasted the NDA government at the Centre on Tuesday for trying to reduce the significance of Christmas Day by making it a working day.
"The attempt of the BJP government at the Centre to reduce the significance of Christmas day by chalking out various programmes on December 25 and making it a working day is a direct attack on the secular fabric of the Indian Constitution," said Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) Media Cell Chairman Captain G K Zhimomi in a statement here.
"The BJP government declaring December 25 as "Good Governance Day" and PMO directing that Christmas day be a working day, Ministry of HRD issuing circular for educational institutions to organise various academic programmes on this auspicious day for Christian believers, has once again exposed the true communal credentials of the BJP government that is at the mercy of the RSS and its affiliates of religious extremists," the Nagaland Congress said.
The NPCC Media Cell also said that the BJP-RSS combine has only exposed its intolerance for religious minorities who are now being made to feel insecure and unwanted in their own country by heating up communal temperatures.
The NPCC appealed to all right thinking citizens to condemn this "religious sacrilege" undertaken by the BJP-RSS combine that is no different from "Taliban Regime" and has enough potential to set the country on the road to destruction much to the delight of the country's neighbouring adversaries.


From October 10-12th, we are sending our Plan Your Neighbourhood Prototype to the Smart Cities Summit, held by the Toronto Region Board of Trade at First Canadian Place! If you're participating in the Summit or are just passing through, stop by and find out more about Sidewalk Toronto.
Sidewalk Toronto is providing an educational display for the Innovation Garage during the 2018 Canadian National Exhibition.


The Hotel Des Arts—located in the heart of downtown amidst the Opera House and Notre Dame Cathedral—is an aesthetic throwback to Vietnam's French colonial past. The polished herringbone floors and white paneled walls in each room—custom designed by Vietnamese artisans—are peppered with original artwork, and create a calming, retreat-like ambiance to counter the city's chaotic spirit. Elaborate marble bathrooms, a neutral palette, and the highest thread-count bedding add to the vacation-like feeling of total relaxation. The real draw, however, is the hotel's restaurants and bars—the Cafe Des Beaux-Arts oozes a kind of charm and glamour of a bygone era with its hand-carved bar and grand piano, the more industrial-looking Saigon Kitchen is designed to mimic the street food experience, while the upper floors house a more formal restaurant and rooftop bar with panoramic views. Ho Chi Minh is definitely a late-night city, but for those looking to relax, the Hotel Des Arts spa offers Korean, Japanese, and English-style treatments, plus the rooftop infinity pool is pretty breathtaking.


After 29 March 2019, if you're a British passport holder (including passports issued by the Crown Dependencies and Gibraltar), you'll be considered a third country national and under the EU Schengen Border Code you will need to comply with different rules to enter and travel around the Schengen area. Third-country nationals are citizens of countries (like Australia, Canada and the USA) which do not belong to the EU or the European Economic Area.
have at least 3 months' validity remaining on the date of intended departure from the last country visited in the Schengen area. Because third country nationals can remain in the Schengen area for 90 days (approximately 3 months), the actual check carried out could be that the passport has at least 6 months validity remaining on the date of arrival.
If you plan to travel to the Schengen area after 29 March 2019, to avoid any possibility of your adult British passport not complying with the Schengen Border Code we suggest that you check the issue date and make sure your passport is no older than 9 years and 6 months on the day of travel.
For example, if you're planning to travel to the Schengen area on 30 March 2019, your passport should have an issue date on or after 1 October 2009.
For 5-year child passports issued to under-16s, check the expiry date and make sure there will be at least 6 months validity remaining on the date of travel.
For example, a child planning to travel to the Schengen area on 30 March 2019 should have a passport with an expiry date on or after 1 October 2019.
If a child's passport does not meet these criteria, they may be denied entry to any of the Schengen area countries, and you should renew their passport before travel.
For countries that are in the EU but not in the Schengen area, you'll need to check the entry requirements for the country you're travelling to before you travel.
The Schengen Area is an area comprising twenty-six European states that have officially abolished passport and all other types of border control at their mutual borders. The area mostly functions as a single jurisdiction for international travel purposes, with a common visa policy. The area is named after the Schengen Agreement. States in the Schengen Area have strengthened border controls with non-Schengen countries.

Mock Trial closes the case on a successful season
Justin Som, a junior running for club president, addresses Mock Trial during their final meeting in E2.
Kelly Doherty
When it comes to Mock Trial, Carlmont is one of the best public schools in the county. By winning third place at this year's regional competition, Mock Trial finished with their best performance in nearly a decade.
"I think, overall, the team hasn't done this well since the late '90s," said club adviser David Gomez.
Mock trial is an inter-school competition, where students are provided a made-up case by the Constitutional Rights Foundation. Students role-play as attorneys and witnesses and defend their case in front of a professional judge.
Carlmont outperformed Hillsdale High School — a previous champion at regionals — and came close to defeating Menlo School, who went on to win to third place in the state competition.
Mock Trial's success was backed up by ample hard work and practice. According to senior and current club vice president Sonia Mahajan, Mock Trial came with a large time commitment for its members.
The first semester had members meet once a week for practices, but the club ramped up their intensity going into the second semester, increasing practices to twice a week. Meetings were two hours each, meaning that members devoted around four hours weekly towards practicing for competitions.
"We were really prepared this year," said Heather Pritchard, a junior and three-year club member. "We didn't win our regional competition like we wanted to, but we did a really good job and worked hard."
On March 28 at 6 p.m., the club held their final meeting in E2; it was a potluck to celebrate the end of the season. Members ate, drank, and reflected on their time in Mock Trial.
Freshman Albert Li, one of the newer club members, said, "I learned a lot of new things, and although it's just a simulation of reality, sometimes it got really emotional."
The meeting was also held to select club officers for next year. Pritchard will be the new club president, and Josh Vendrow, a junior, will be the new vice president. These new officers plan to lead Mock Trial towards regionals in 2018.
For the next school year, students who join Mock Trial can expect both a fun and educational environment to participate in.
Mahajan said, "The club atmosphere is really supportive. It's a great place for [students] to learn about public speaking, about gaining confidence, and about just expressing their views."

LONDON: The Black Church Capital
By revival
PBPodcastsPrayer Bulletinprayermaterevivingsld
There is a greater concentration of African Christianity in south London than anywhere in the world outside Africa, according to a senior academic. Most black churches in the London borough of Southwark are 'Pentecostal', featuring long services characterised by exuberant and often loud worship. Many of the pastors are first-generation migrants to Britain.
Andrew Rogers, a lecturer in practical theology at the University of Roehampton, says that the number of black majority churches in Southwark is so high that, at 240, they are nearly twice as numerous as all the other churches in the borough put together. Rogers adds that while it is generally acknowledged that black majority churches have enjoyed rapid growth in Southwark in recent decades, it is difficult to determine precisely why.
He notes that the London Church Census reported 58 per cent growth in total Pentecostal congregations in Southwark across 2005- 12 and a 44 per cent rise across Greater London. This comes against a trend of falling white congregations over a period when black African Christians grew by more than 100 per cent.
While Southwark may currently be the most intense case, there is also significant growth of black churches in cities such as Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, and in other countries such as the Netherlands and in Germany. The fact that Southwark is 'the African capital of the UK' is one factor. Southwark is convenient, being close to central London, yet premises are still affordable. The 'experiential focus' of these Pentecostal churches is an important factor.
'It is recognised, however, that few BMCs at present are managing to reach out beyond the black community,' he writes. Although many of the new BMC leaders are recent immigrants from Africa, much of the growth has involved the harnessing of a larger proportion of the UK's Black community which makes up 3% of the population in England and Wales, and 11% of the population of Greater London.

Bible Study: 1 Peter 2:11-12
JUNE: PRAISE GOD for thriving BMC congregations across London and other cities. Pray they will reach out to others in their communities, particularly young people who have lost their way in gangs and drugs.

PolyLevel foam is a high-polymer, polyurethane foam that is injected underneath concrete to lift and level slabs. How can a light foam really perform better than the proven method of mudjacking to lift concrete? This foam is water-proof, extremely light, and surprisingly durable! Mudjacking pumps heavy mud underneath the concrete to lift and level the slab, but this added weight may cause the concrete slab to sink even more. PolyLevel foam expands underneath the concrete to lift the slab and compress the soil underneath without adding vast amounts of mud.
But, how durable can a foam be? According to tests run by the Argonne National Laboratory in 2016, our PolyLevel foam is incredibly durable.
PolyLevel foam retains its strength in extremely hot and cold temperatures – even at 195OF. Even drastic temperature changes, like the freeze and thaw cycles in the Midwest, have no effect on the integrity of PolyLevel foam. Okay, PolyLevel is durable at any temperature, but what about degradation? Surely the foam will degrade.
Wrong! Our remarkable PolyLevel foam is so durable that not even microorganisms can cause it to biodegrade. Even when exposed to 1,000 years of radiation, PolyLevel foam does not breakdown or release any gases. Because it does not degrade, PolyLevel will never leach dangerous chemicals or pollute groundwater. Although it may never degrade, PolyLevel can be recycled in many ways after fulfilling its service life, like being a filler in other materials.
Clearly, PolyLevel is the best solution for concrete slab leveling and lifting. It performs better than mudjacking, remains durable through all weather changes, is extremely lightweight, and will never cause environmental problems.

Der (dritte) Kubanische Unabhängigkeitskrieg (Spanisch: Guerra de Independencia cubana) oder auch Krieg von '95 ist der letzte der drei Unabhängigkeitskriege der Kubaner gegen das Königreich Spanien. Er begann 1895 mit dem "Kriegsruf von Baire" und endete mit der Kapitulation der spanischen Truppen angesichts des Kriegseintritts der USA 1898 in den nun folgenden Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieg.

Vorgeschichte
Das 19. Jahrhundert ist für Spanien mit dem Verlust des Großteils seiner Kolonien gekennzeichnet. Unter jenen Kolonien, die am Ende jenes Jahrhunderts noch unter spanischer Herrschaft standen, waren Kuba, Puerto Rico und die Philippinen. In Kuba waren spätestens mit dem Ende des Restaurationskrieges in der Dominikanischen Republik, wonach die königlich-spanischen Truppen von der karibischen Insel vertrieben wurden, sowie dem kubanischen Zehnjährigen Krieg latente Unabhängigkeitsbestrebungen vorhanden. Gleichzeitig gab es weitere Tendenzen der politischen Emanzipation, diese waren jedoch nicht besonders gut ausgeprägt. Unter den von José Martí angeführten Strömungen, welche die Abspaltung von Spanien anstrebten, befanden sich unter anderen die Autonomisten ("autonomistas"), vertreten u. a. von Rafael Montoro, und die Reformierer ("reformistas"), vertreten durch José Antonio Saco. Die Bedingungen versprachen keinen Erfolg für einen Aufstand gegen die spanische Kolonialmacht. Der Keim der Freiheit und der allgemeinen Unzufriedenheit in der Bevölkerung – wie er auch in anderen Unabhängigkeitsbewegungen Lateinamerikas aufkam und der seinen Ursprung im Zehnjährigen Krieg hatte – reifte jedoch weiter. Obwohl die Sklaverei inzwischen offiziell abgeschafft wurde, blieben die Lebensverhältnisse für Afrokubaner weiterhin prekär. Es vergingen einige Jahre in denen der spätere Nationalheld und Freiheitskämpfer José Martí den allgemeinen Aufstand vorbereitete. Der als charismatisch beschriebene kubanische Schriftsteller Martí schaffte es Einigkeit herzustellen, indem er die beiden wichtigsten militärischen Führer der Unabhängigkeitsbewegung – Máximo Gómez und Antonio Maceo – gemeinsam zu einer Wiederaufnahme des Unabhängigkeitskrieges bewegte.

Die Rolle José Martís

José Martí soll schon in seiner Jugend öffentlich die spanische Kolonialherrschaft kritisiert haben und wurde dafür mit Zwangsarbeit und Gefängnis bestraft. Angeblich hatte er einen Klassenkameraden in einem Brief dafür getadelt dem "Freiwilligenkorps" (Cuerpo de Voluntarios) beigetreten zu sein, der die spanischen Interessen vertrat.

Nach dem Aufenthalt im Zuchthaus wurde Martí nach Spanien deportiert, wo er Rechtswissenschaften studierte. Seine Rückkehr nach Kuba war begleitet von einer ständigen Observation durch spanische Sicherheitskräfte, was ihn zu Umwegen über andere amerikanische Staaten wie Guatemala, Mexiko, Venezuela oder die Vereinigten Staaten zwang.

In den USA gründete er mit Unterstützung von exilierten Kubanern sowie den kubanischen Gemeinschaften in Tampa und New York die Partido Revolucionario Cubano (Kubanische Revolutionäre Partei). Später schlossen sich der Gruppe auch puerto-ricanische Unabhängigkeitskämpfer unter der Bedingung an, dass die Kubaner im Anschluss auch für Puerto Rico kämpfen würden.

Wegen des Scheiterns im zuvor verlorenen Zehnjährigen Krieg erarbeitete Martí Ideen, um die Fehler jenes Krieges nicht zu wiederholen. Er wollte seinen militärischen Kräften unbeschränkte Freiheiten hinsichtlich Strategie und Taktik geben. Die zivilen Kräfte sollten sich hingehen auf die Aufnahme und Unterhaltung diplomatischer Verbindungen, Finanzierung und Legalisierung des Krieges sowie die Regierungsgeschäfte in befreiten Gebieten konzentrieren.

Martí reiste nach Costa Rica – wo Antonio Maceo lebte – um diesen für die Notwendigkeit des Unabhängigkeitskampfes zu begeistern. Gleiches tat er mit Máximo Gómez, der in der Dominikanischen Republik lebte. Dort unterschrieb er auch das Manifiesto de Montecristi (Manifest von Montecristi), in dem die Notwendigkeit der Unabhängigkeit Kubas ausgedrückt wurde.

Von Haiti aus stach er in See und landete bei den Playitas Cajobabo, wo nur kleine militärische Einheiten stationiert waren, gleichzeitig mit dem Grito de Baire und dem Aufstand in zahlreichen Zonen des Orientes in Kuba.

Der Krieg
Der Zehnjährige Krieg hatte zu einer Politisierung und einer größeren Sympathie und Unterstützungsbereitschaft weiter Teile der kubanischen Bevölkerung mit den Freiheitskämpfern geführt, die von ihren Basen im Osten Kubas aus eine Invasion im Westen planten und auch durchführten.

Um diese zu verhindern, die kubanischen Guerillatruppen von der Zivilbevölkerung zu separieren und ihnen den Zugang zu Waffen, Nahrung, Medizin, Kleidern und militärischen Informationen zu verwehren, ordnete der neue Generalgouverneur Valeriano Weyler am 21. Oktober 1896 folgendes an:

Galt dieser Befehl zur Zwangsumsiedlung der Bevölkerung, in der offiziellen Terminologie als reconcentración bezeichnet, zunächst nur für die genannte Provinz im Westen der Insel, so wurde diese Maßnahme zur Guerillabekämpfung bis Ende Mai 1897 sukzessive auf alle Provinzen übertragen. Im Laufe der Zeit entstanden so über 80 befestigte Städte und Dörfer, in denen mindestens 400.000 Personen interniert waren, die in improvisierten Hütten, Baracken und alten Lagerhäusern ein erbärmliches Dasein fristeten. Da die spanische Kolonialadministration weder für die notwendigen hygienischen Maßnahmen sorgte, noch – nicht zuletzt auch aufgrund der Blockade der befestigten Orte durch die Rebellen – eine ausreichende Versorgung sicherstellen konnte, starben die Internierten zu Zehntausenden an Unterernährung und Seuchen.

Eine weitere Maßnahme der spanischen Armee war die Trocha, ein Sperrriegel von Júcaro bis nach Morón in der heutigen zentralkubanischen Provinz Ciego de Ávila, durch den der Vormarsch der Befreiungsarmee in die westlichen Regionen Kubas unterbunden werden sollte. Obwohl José Martí bereits zu Beginn des Krieges am 19. Mai 1895 fiel und auch Maceo am 7. Dezember 1896 westlich von Havanna im Kampf getötet wurde, brachten auch diese Erfolge der spanischen Armee keine kriegsentscheidenden Vorteile. Je mehr sich der Krieg in die Länge zog, umso mehr erschien die spanische Armee in den Augen der ausländischen Öffentlichkeit als unfähig zur Beherrschung der Lage und umso mehr wurde die Situation auf Kuba dort zum Gegenstand des öffentlichen Interesses.

Besonders wurde der brutale Krieg der spanischen Armee gegen die kubanische Zivilbevölkerung in den USA registriert, deren Bevölkerung starke Sympathie für die Rebellen empfand und deren Presse laufend über die spanischen Gräuel auf Kuba berichtete. Abgesehen vom humanitären Engagement, zu dem sich US-Amerikaner gedrängt fühlten, spielten aber auch wirtschaftliche Gründe eine Rolle für das amerikanische Interesse an Kuba, da US-Unternehmen zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits einen nicht unbeträchtlichen Anteil an der kubanischen Wirtschaft innehatten.

US-Präsident Grover Cleveland erklärte im Dezember 1896, dass die USA nicht unbegrenzt Geduld gegenüber Spanien zeigen würden, und Präsident William McKinley führte schließlich in seiner Annual Message 1897 aus, dass die USA angesichts der anhaltenden spanischen Repression zu einer Intervention genötigt werden könnten. Im März 1898 unterrichteten mehrere Politiker und Berater, unter anderem Henry Cabot Lodge senior, McKinley davon, dass zahlreiche US-Geschäftsleute aufgrund ihrer Wirtschaftsinteressen auf eine schnelle Lösung der kubanischen Frage drängen. Am 27. März 1898 erließ McKinley ein Ultimatum an Spanien mit der Forderung nach einem Waffenstillstand.

Spanien versuchte dem US-amerikanischen und dem innerspanischen Druck mit der Abberufung Weylers und dem Projekt einer Autonomie für die Insel entgegenzuwirken. Die Autonomie für Kuba, für die in Spanien Maura, Abarzuza und Cánovas del Castillo eintraten, wurde schließlich von der Regierung von Práxedes Mateo Sagasta und Überseeminister Segismundo Moret verwirklicht. Es wurde eine Verfassung für Kuba ausgearbeitet, welche ab dem 25. September 1897 dem Land weitgehende Autonomie versprach, mit dem einzigen Vorbehalt, dass der Generalgouverneur die Einhaltung der königlichen Dekrete sicherstellen sollte, welche die politische Gleichberechtigung der auf den Inseln Kuba und Puerto Rico lebenden Spanier mit der einheimischen Bevölkerung bestimmten und das allgemeine Wahlrecht für den 25. November 1897 zusicherte. Die erste autonome Regierung wurde zum 1. Januar 1898 unter Vorsitz von José María Gálvez Alonso etabliert. Jedoch waren keine der Initiativen der Zentralregierung, trotz des deutlichen Fortschritts, letztendlich erfolgreich. Die Unabhängigkeitskämpfer und Teile der sie unterstützenden kreolischen Oligarchie lehnten die Autonomie als nicht weitgehend genug ab, und auch gewissen US-amerikanischen Interventionisten war eine mögliche weiterhin andauernde spanische Präsenz ein Dorn im Auge.

Die US-amerikanische Intervention

Am 25. Januar ging das US-Schlachtschiff USS Maine in der Bucht von Havanna (Bahía de La Habana) vor Anker, um mit seiner Anwesenheit Druck auf die Spanier auszuüben ("Kanonenbootpolitik"). Am 15. Februar 1898 explodierte das Schiff. Spätere Untersucheungen ergaben, dass mehr als 5 Tonnen Pulver für die 6- und 10-Zoll-Kanonen des Schiffes explodiert waren und das Vorschiff zerstört hatte, was zum unmittelbaren sinken geführt hatte. Am 24. April erklärte Spanien den USA den Krieg. Am Tag darauf erklärte der US-Kongress, die Vereinigten Staaten befänden sich seit dem 21. April mit Spanien im Kriegszustand. Am 3. Juli 1898, wurde die gesamte spanische Atlantikflotte von der zahlenmäßig überlegenen und technisch fortschrittlicheren US Navy vernichtet (→ Seeschlacht vor Santiago de Cuba). Santiago de Cuba kapitulierte am 15. Juli; Puerto Rico am 25. Juli (an diesem Tag landete General Nelson A. Miles mit 3.300 Mann dort), Manila (Philippinen) am 14. August. Für den kubanischen Kriegsschauplatz baten die Spanier am 17. Juli 1898 um einen Waffenstillstand. Am 12. August wurde in Washington der Vorfriede unterzeichnet und dabei die Einstellung der Kämpfe vereinbart. Mit dem Pariser Frieden vom 10. Dezember 1898 endete Spaniens Vorherrschaft in Kuba, Puerto Rico, Guam und auf den Philippinen; diese Inseln wurden von US-Truppen besetzt. Die Besetzung Kubas währte bis 1902.

Opfer
Obwohl die Zahlen bis heute unter Historikern strittig sind, gilt als gesichert, dass der reconcentración zwischen 155.000 und 170.000 Menschen zum Opfer fielen, was rund 10 Prozent der Inselbevölkerung entsprach. Die Aufhebung der unmenschlichen Internierung verbesserte die Lage der meisten Reconcentrados zunächst allerdings kaum, da in den zuvor entvölkerten Gebieten seitens der spanischen Armee eine Strategie der verbrannten Erde verfolgt worden war. Angesichts der völligen Zerstörung der Infrastruktur und von allem, was den Rebellen in den Augen der Armee irgendwie dienlich sein hätte können, gab es keine Orte, an welche die Reconcentrados zurückkehren hätten können.

Die spanische Armee wiederum hatte die meisten Verluste durch Krankheiten zu verzeichnen, gegen welche die einheimischen Guerillas weit besser gefeit waren als die aus dem europäischen Mutterland stammenden Soldaten.

Demokratische Transition
Sehr schnell zeigte sich die Unzufriedenheit der Freiheitskämpfer mit der aktuellen Situation in ihren jeweiligen Ländern. Wenngleich Puerto Rico und die Philippinen für weitere Dekaden Kolonien blieben, diesmal jedoch nicht Spaniens, sondern der Vereinigten Staaten, erzeugte ein entsprechender Druck innerhalb Kubas, ihr eigenes Land zu gestalten, die baldige Freigabe dieses Landes durch die USA.

Gleichzeitig ließen sie Möglichkeiten neuerlicher Intervention in Form der "Sicherung der Unabhängigkeit" offen. Diese wurden in einem Entwurf einer Verfassung, enmienda de Plat genannt, festgeschrieben. Dieser wurde am 12. Juni 1901 durch die Verfassungsgebende Versammlung Kubas gebilligt.

Am 20. Mai 1902 wurde die Republik Kuba mit der Einsetzung ihres ersten Präsidenten Tomás Estrada Palma geboren. Es dauerte jedoch bis zur Präsidentschaft von José Miguel Gómez (Liberale Partei) ab dem Jahr 1909, dass die sogenannte Interventionsregierung ("Gobierno de Intervención") der USA endete. Während dieser Zeit wurde unter anderem am 2. Juli 1903 der Pachtvertrag für die Guantanamo-Basis geschlossen, der bis heute andauert.

Die Unabhängigkeit änderte jedoch wenig an der Situation des ärmsten Teils der kubanischen Bevölkerung. Es zeigte sich erneut, dass die Unabhängigkeitsbewegung hauptsächlich die Interessen der dominierenden Land-Oligarchie vertrat. Demzufolge kam es 1912 zu einem Aufstand der schwarzen Bevölkerung, was die USA zu einer neuerlichen Intervention veranlasste.

Die Krise in Spanien 1898
Der Verlust seiner Kolonien, insbesondere Kubas, löste eine tiefe Identitätskrise in Spanien aus, die auch weite soziale, politische und kulturelle Kreise zog. Sie bekam ihren kulturellen Ausdruck in der sogenannten Generation von '98 oder auch im "Regenerationismus".

Zeitgenössische Künstler waren von der Krise und ihrem historischen Kontext beeinflusst und behandelten neben anderen, Themen, wie "Verlust der historischen Persönlichkeit" ("Pérdida de personalidad histórica") Spaniens.

E-commerce platform Snapdeal has integrated UrbanClap inventory in its Android mobile application to launch a personal services category, which will help consumers book services ranging from beauty services at home to wedding photographers.
According to experts, ecommerce players are experimenting ways to monetise traffic through fewer cost-intensive models. "These are service-oriented offerings, which won't take up any extra cost in terms of physical space or logistics and, hence, these players will make a better margin out of it," said Devanghsu Dutta, CEO at retail consultancy firm Third Eyesight.

Hands On: Intel's Merrifield, Moorefield Reference Phones
Intel has built some really beautiful reference devices for its new phone chipsets. Why can't we see them on the market?
https://www.pcmag.com/news/hands-on-intels-merrifield-moorefield-reference-phones
BARCELONA—I try not to get too excited about reference phones. It usually leads to sadness, because we don't see these reference devices appear on the U.S. market.
But oh, Intel has built something lovely in its Merrifield and Moorefield reference phones, which I got to play with a little bit after Intel's press conference here at Mobile World Congress. These little phones are sleek and slim, with tapered edges and what appears to be a glass-covered back. They aren't dumb black slabs like so many of the standard phones you see on the market: they have a slightly edgy, angular personality.
The phones weren't all that functional, alas. I tried to play a racing game; it quit. They didn't have any Internet access. But I summoned up CPU-Z on the quad-core Mooresfield phone and saw it racing along, with each core remaining docile at 332 Mhz and then jumping up as far as 2300 Mhz when needed.
Intel's deeply challenged in phones. It's not just that it can't get manufacturers to build devices; it can't get those manufacturers to build devices that really stand out. I'm curious to see if phone makers jump with this attractive design. I spoke to Aicha Evans, the general manager of Intel's wireless group, and she said that the company was only moving to offer turnkey designs in China - otherwise they'll help manufacturers build phones, but they don't want to just offer up hardware for carriers to slap their names on any more.
Take a gander at the slides above for a closer look at the Merrifield and Moorefield phones.

We've had a few days since Skylanders Trap Team was revealed to think about the game and pull together every little bit of information we know about this super exciting new game. Wesley from Family Gamer TV is here to take a look at the new trailer, and discuss everything we know so far.
In Skylanders Trap Team the Trap Masters are looking for prisoners who have escaped from Cloudcracker Prison when Kaos blew it up. The prison was made of Traptanium, a super-strong metal that is also used for making weapons for the Trap Masters.
We'll be seeing lots of new figures for Trap Team, including 16 Trap Masters who are about the same size as Swap Force characters and have awesome translucent-coloured Traptanium weapons. There are also 18 new core Skylander figures being released too. All of these characters, as well as every Skylander from past games, can be used in Trap Team. And most importantly of all, every Skylander can trap bad guys, not just the Trap Masters. Enemies are trapped in special Elemental Traps – crystal-like keys that slot into the new Traptanium Portal of Power. When enemies are trapped in the crystal, you can hear them being sucked out of the TV and into the Trap crystal, with their voices coming from the Portal of Power as they scream in their new prison!

Facing major work and a ticking clock, Canada Games committee confident St. John's will be ready for 2025
اخبارالعرب 24-كندا:الجمعة 2 ديسمبر 2022 06:06 صباحاً Two years and eight months. 140 weeks. Just under 1,000 days.
No matter how you frame it, that's all the time left before St. John's welcomes the country's top young athletes for the 2025 Canada Summer Games.
In that time, organizers need to make sure a brand new, $40-million track and field complex is built, the Aquarena pools are refurbished, and work is done on the tennis facility.
The province hasn't release a plan for the tennis facility or the Aquarena — though it has budgeted $9 million for the pool work.
But organizers are confident the work will be done on time.
"Not only will we be ready .. .our subtitle is 'best games ever,'" co-chairs Kim Keating and Karl Smith said stepping over each others' words when asked if the city will be ready.
St. John's mayor Danny Breen shares their sentiment.
"This is gonna be a tremendous event," he said. "We're going to be able to provide the athletes and the visitors that come here with an experience of a lifetime."
Fresh out of a board meeting about the Games, the trio sat down to talk about an event the city hasn't hosted since 1977.
Smith admits there is a still a lot of work left to do.
"We're feeling pretty comfortable," he said.
"We're not cavalier, of course, but there's a ton of work left to do. We got a plan in place and we got some great people in place too."

One of the missing pieces of infrastructure — the track and field complex and high-performance training announced in November — should have a request for proposals put out soon, said Smith.
"We expect to be in the ground next spring. It probably won't be ready a year before the games," he said. "It'll be ready for the games for sure."
The city kicked in more than $10 million for the complex, a move Breen said will pay off through the spinoff created by the games.
"We estimate the economic impact based on games where they've been held in other locations to be around $100 million," said Breen.
"Using the Brier as the benchmark, this would be like having 10 Briers in the two-week period."

The new track and field centre will stand on the site of the original, which was built for the 1977 Canada Summer Games. Breen said the other venues St. John's built for those games have been, or will be, upgraded by 2025.
"St Pat's ballpark and King George V, for example, have undergone significant investments over that time," he said. "Those facilities are going to be used again."
Unlike the old track next to the Aquarena — which was paved over to make a parking lot — the city says this time, the legacy of the new track centre is important.
"The investments that we make now we want to make sure that after the games that it — that it contributes to athletics and contributes to the community," Breen said.
Meanwhile, while the venues are slowly coming together the host committee is working on the logo, and will have a mascot for the event.
But because the host city doesn't start advertising its Games until after the upcoming ones are over — in this case the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island in February — those won't be public for a while.
Athletes' Village
Unlike some other Canada Games, most events will be close to the athletes' village at Memorial University's residences.
"We're in a really unique position in terms of the closeness of all of our facilities compared to some other Canada Games where there had been satellite villages," Keating said.
"Our furthest competitive place will be actually at the Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club in C.B.S."
Events will be held outside of St. John's but organizers said it'll be one of closest games yet. (CBC/MapTiler)
In addition to that, Paradise will play host to the beach volleyball event, some baseball will be played in Mount Pearl, open-water swimming will take place in Healey's Pond in Portugal Cove-St. Philips and the cycling event will race through Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove.
"We've had tremendous support from all the municipalities in terms of making sure that the facilities we need are in accordance with the requirements of the Canada Games," said Keating.
Keating is hoping that support will carry forward into 2025.
"We're gonna need 5,000 volunteers," she said. "We're going to have over 5,000 athletes, sports coaches. This is going to be a huge impact for the — for the city."
The Game will be broken up into two separate weeks, 2,500 athletes and coaches showing up each week — all of them hoping to bring home some hardware from at least one of the 18 events being held.
"This is a very inclusive games," Smith said. "We have para sports, we also have Special Olympics and then we have able-bodied athletes as well."

While work goes on behind the scenes to get the venues ready for competition, there is also a chance for this province to show off to the rest of Canada.
"We have a huge opportunity here to really use this as a platform to showcase the amazing cultural talent, musically and otherwise," Keating said.
"We will take advantage of all of that for the opening ceremonies, and actually throughout the festivals that will be held throughout the two weeks that athletes and their families are here."

Toll-free numbers changed marketing concepts dramatically. Now, a co-op of Myrtle Beach businesses has added another twist with a national TV commercial that dials its 800-number automatically.
Interested viewers need only to hold their telephone receivers within earshot of the TV to be connected with a Myrtle Beach representative.
The special process, which is proprietary, works through the touch-tone signals heard on the commercial. "We wanted a way to stand out in today's busy market and also be user-friendly," says Rik Dickinson of Encore Video Productions, who developed the technique and produced the commercial. "Although the concept is simple, it did take some technical research to make it workable," adds Mr. Dickinson. "And judging from the early response, it is definitely working."
In its first full day of air time, the commercial generated 1,200 requests for information. More that $250,000 was spent to produce and air the interactive advertisement.

Stuff You Might've Missed – Polvo
Chapel Hill, NC Polvo are considered to be one of the key bands in so-called "math rock" genre, even though the band themselves rejected this label in interviews. Their name comes from Spanish word for "dust" (and it also means "sex" in Spanish slang).
The initial line-up consisted of Ash Bowie, Dave Brilawski, Steve Popson and Eddie Watkins. Their debut was 1990 7″ single Can I Ride and it came out on band's own label Kitchen Puff Recordings (it was later re-released as CD). A whole number of records followed – 1992 "Cor-Crane Secret" (Merge), Today's Active Lifestyles (Merge, 1993) and 1994 "Celebrate The New Dark Age" EP (also on Merge).
After 1995 full-length "This Eclipse", the band parted ways with Merge and released two albums for Chicago label Touch & Go – 1996 "Exploded Drawing" and 1997 "Shapes", which became their final studio album. Polvo did a farewell tour in support of "Shapes" in 1997 and split up next year due to band members commitments.
Following the break-up, Ash Bowie released a solo album entitled "Yesterday's…And Tomorrow's Shells" on Tiger Style label under the name Libraness. He also recorded with BQ and Fan Modine. Brilawski played with Idyll Swords and is also a member of Black Taj, along with Steve Popson. Watkins is a member of Dr. Powerful.
Polvo recently reunited and added drummer Brian Quast (ex-Cherry Valence) to the line-up. They were invited to play at a number of music festivals, including All Tomorrow's Parties and Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain. They also indicated that a new album might be on the way.
Update: In September of 2009. Merge release the band's new full-length – "In Prism", their first album since 1997 "Shapes".

When you enter your sophomore year, it's already time to start considering the different paths you can take.
The first, and most common, is to simply graduate with your degree and try to find a job. If you choose this path, it's probably best to pursue a minor while you're at it.
The second one is to go to graduate school, which is one of the paths I'm considering. Lehigh offers plenty of opportunities to look at the work of graduate students. However, in the end, it's up to the students to approach professors for research opportunities and such, which is why it's important to keep up your grades.
The final path I'm considering is one I've recently been introduced to, the Co-Op program. To get in, you need a minimum GPA of 3.0, which isn't too hard. In this program, starting in your junior year, you alternate a semester of studies with a semester of working at a company.
It's kind of surreal to go from a clueless freshman to someone who has to start weighing his options seriously, but what can you do but keep trekking on.

Rush Limbaugh Attacks Michael Steele And Then Steele Apologizes To RushBo.
(Parts 1& 2 are above) Rush Limbaugh came out firing against the RNC's new leader Michael Steele after Steele criticised him on CNN. And as usual
(Parts 1& 2 are above) Rush Limbaugh came out firing against the RNC's new leader Michael Steele after Steele criticised him on CNN. And as usual, the Republican bows down to the altar of Limbaugh and begs forgiveness. Limbaugh spanks Steele and tells him exactly what Steele's job is and what he should do and how he should do it.
STEELE: So let's put it into context here. Let's put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, his whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it's incendiary. Yes, it's ugly.
Rush replies:
Michael Steele has been around long enough to know that the liberal media will use him by twisting what I say or what others say. He took the bait, he bit down hard on the bait, he launched an attack on me even though the premise of what was said to him was false. He took the bait and he went for it.
They chicken out when I happen to articulate exactly what their agenda really is. They don't have the guts to admit it, and I do. I'm going further and telling you today it's not that I want Obama to fail; that's not it anymore.
So who's the ugly one now? Michael Steele apologizes to Rush:
My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh," Steele said in a telephone interview. "I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."
I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren't what I was thinking," Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he's not."
"I'm not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh," Steele added. "No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn't trying to slam him or anything."
I love this part: "I realized words that I said weren't what I was thinking." OMG, does he have a spine?
I guess Rahm was correct when he said this on Face the Nation:
And whenever a Republican criticizes him, they have to run back and apologize to him and say they were misunderstood. He is the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican Party.
Don't you just love the authoritarian nature of the Republican Party?
Tom Schaller wrote a great article called: Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party
Digby writes:
But he is, as some of us have been pointing for years, the true leader of the Republican Party and we were told that he was a harmless, mainstream entertainer and we should all just lighten up, even as luminaries of the Republican party and the luminaries of the conservative movement bowed and scraped like abused streetwalkers at the feet of their violent pimp. They defended his comments about Abu Ghraib, fergawdsake. He can literally do no wrong.
Think Progress:
Steele isn't alone. Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) have previously dared to criticize Limbaugh but then quickly backed down. To quote Rush, a lot of Republicans are being told to "bend over and grab the ankles" for him.

Bermuda's first casino resort nears licensing approval
The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club is set to become the first holder of a casino licence in Bermuda following the submission of an application to the Bermuda Casino Gaming Commission (BCGC).
The initial window for licence applications commenced in April this year and closed on 21 July, with licensees having to comply with the Bermuda Casino Gaming Act 2014. Under Bermudan gaming law, up to three provisional licences can be issued to interested developers.
Hamilton was among the first hotels in Bermuda to be granted "designated status" last year, making it eligible to apply.
In an interview with Bermuda's Royal Gazette newspaper, Alan Dunch, the chairman of the BCGC called the licence application a "landmark event".
He added: "We feel that this is an important step towards realising the public policy goals of the Casino Act, by increasing employment and investment in Bermuda, as well as enhancing the tourism product."
Applicants are required to pay an initial fee of $600,000 in order to bid, with those being approved for provisional licences having to pay a further $1.4m. Companies which receive full licences are then required to pay a final issue fee of $1m.
A provisional casino licence has previously been granted to the nearby St George's Resort project, however the resort is still under construction, having been only approved in January.
Sources at the BCGC have confirmed that the licence application by the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club will be reviewed at a public meeting on 22 September at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute and the resorts developers, and that further details will be revealed in the next few weeks.
