Mobile Police Patlabor – The Early Days Review: Is It Just A Job?
By Franklin Raines on September 14, 2014 • ( 0 )
Even as a fan of modern live-action Japanese cinema, I felt a tinge of dread when I heard that the 80's police drama-comedy Patlabor series was going to get a live-action T.V. adaption. People who have read my other reviews of 2000's to 2010's era Japanese live-action movies know my familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of Japan's modern Hollywood. They have big ideas and often great practical visuals like costumes and effects, but their budgets fall short simply because, when you get down to it, big visuals like a realistic Mt. Fuji's covered in buried corpses like in Tokyo Zombie take an investment only the American industry can afford. Think about it, even monstrous for Japan budgeted fair like the 20th Century Boys and Gantz live-actions looked under budget at 20 million U.S. and 45 million U.S. respectfully. Compare that to an American film industry where 54 million is dropped on a simple Owen Wilson romantic comedy like You, Me, And Dupree, I couldn't fathom what a Japanese budget could do to represent Patlabor's iconic military tools, the Patrol Labors. But with dread comes a reminder, that I never did watch or review the original seven episode Patlabor OVA, Patlabor: The Early Days. Let's fix that!
Patlabor's origin is an odd one, as it was produced by Sunrise but was pushed as the star project of 80's creative team Head Gear. Head Gear included five key people; mangaka Masami Yuki (who made theinitial ongoing Patlabor manga), character designer Akemi Takada, screenwriter Katzunori Ito, designer Yutaka Izubuchi, and director Mamoru Oshii (who I know we have talked about before). From that initial five, other recognizable people like composer Kenji Kawaiand Moribito and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex director Kenji Kamiyama were also involved. For the purpose of these original seven episode OVAs, Mamoru Oshii directed the first six episodes and director Naoyuki Yoshinaga (who I will forgive for helping bring that horrid A.D. Police Files spinoff Parasite Dolls into existence because he directed most of the Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVAs ) directed a seventh episode that aired during the same time as the first Patlabor movie.
The original 1988 Patlabor: The Early Days centers on introducing the Tokyo in the not to distance future setting, where mecha units called Labors are used for everyday tasks, no different from the average bulldozer or crane. Within Tokyo's Metropolitan Police is the 2nd Special Vehicles Section (SV2), a base located by the bay near a bridge that houses both officers and mechanics. SV2's top official (and my personal hero) Captain Kiichi Goto peers over his coffee and out his office window to see his new team of cadets. All in their mid-20's and fresh from training, the wet-behind-the-ears cadets include: cheeky Patrol Labor maniac Nao Izumi, reluctant and passive Asuma Shinohara, hen-peaked husband Mikiyasu Shinshi, soft-spoken giant Hiromi Yamazaki, and combat hyped (my personal favorite of the five) Isao Ohta. Captain Goto's job now is to command and work these new cadets into working order, as the world is not safe when Labor terrorists and secret conspiracies plague the future Japan of…1998? Wow, that really is not too distant.
What's nice about the Patlabor universe is that many of the episodes can potentially stand alone and don't follow a "find these terrorists and stop them" formula. Similar to the "stand" alone as compared to "complex" episodes of the Ghost in the Shell T.V. shows, The Early Day's include such varied episodes as finding a water monster in Tokyo Bay, or investigating an alleged murder at a cadet training ground where ghosts pilot Patlabors and blood mysteriously fills in-door baths. After the rather rough paced first two episodes, whose bog comes from having to establish terminology and story characters, the show picks up in this neat way where every episode feels distinctly memorable. The two part episode five and six story where Captain Goto's old college, friend Kiyoteru Kai, leads military rebels to overthrow Japan is a great example of what makes Patlabor distinct. The episodes feel self-contained, but distinct in a way not usually seen in a semi-episodic series like Patlabor. It's an approach to world building where you can introduce concepts and areas like the land expansion construction site, called the Babylon Project, in episode three or five, but further implement the idea down the line like how the Babylon project was center stage in the first Patlabor movie.
Patlabor: The Early Days also sets the tone of a character interaction series parallel to the police procedural. While SV2's multiple adventures in protecting the countries' peace are often detailed, exciting, and fun to puzzle out, The Early Days also wants to enthrall with its slow scenes of SV2 just waiting to act. Scenes where they are working overtime and just crammed packed into their single room watching T.V. while the sun sets through the blinds are just as important as Captain Goto figuring out and confronting who wants to kill the prime minister. I feel that much of The Early Day's draw is seeing these people get along, like watching ready-for-action Ohta and mild-mannered Shinshi engage with the T.V. news or watching Nao and Shinohara celebrate New Year's by drinking with Nao's dad in the country side. Mamoruo Oshii does mellow much of the somber quite with both small visual gags and jokes between the crew.
A nice part of The Early Days is seeing characters work inside and outside the bureaucracy expected of a police force and how there really isn't a main character. Often, episodes will center on how someone of authority, like Captain Goto or Captain Goto's office mate and confidant Captain Shinobu Nagumo of First Division, will contrast in their different approaches to working at a desk. From there, the perspective will change to say Noa and Shinohara with their Patlabor Alphonse on the streets of Tokyo. They are the front line, expected to be people of action, where Captain Goto and Nagumo are expected to be people of thought. Now at first blush, Noa appears to be the main character because of her big presence of Patlabor cleaning and hot dog eating in the opening theme. Yet The Early Days, especially in episode five when they all go home to families for New Years, wants to show that it has no main character. It's capable of focusing detailed attention on anyone in its cast, like one good scene where in the giant Yamazaki visits his mother in Okinawa and they reflect on Yamazaki's dad's passing.
Pros: A relatable cast of characters whose mid 20's daily life is more interesting than most of the high school drama we tend to get spoiled on in Anime. A subtle showpiece of the type of humor Mamoru Oshii used to work in back in the 80's. Something about the world since in The Early Days marks this nice balance of what a realistic future world could be. The Kenji Kawai soundtrack, with its airy snyth and keyboard instruments and excited vocals, is distinctly its own from the later Patlabor soundtracks like the dramatically cerebral music of the movies.
Cons: Patlabor: The Early Days has this magic ability to engage me, but at the same time make me tired from how slow and quite is can be at times. Mandatory introduction of world building elements and character introduction means the show doesn't pick up steam until episode 3. Procedure often takes time away from getting the objective completed, liked in the sixth episode where a huge military Coup d'état is stopped within four minutes and the episode ends the instant the enemy is cornered.
Section 23's other publishing operation (no, not Switchblade Pictures) Maiden Japan released not only Patlabor The Early Day's on DVD and Blu Ray, but the entire Patlabor T.V. show as well. I could argue that it's possible to get into (or get someone else into) Patlabor with the first two movies, demonstrating the talking heads expositing philosophy and rhetoric with the fantastic fight scenes expected of Mamoru Oshii's work. But The Early Day's shows off Oshhi's other talents, like what he can do with comedy and stories where the stakes are more dealing with training facility ghosts then conspiracies to use construction buildings to cause Tokyo's Labors to malfunction and run amok. If you are looking for a Patlabor or a shown in general that's more down to Earth, while still encompassing much of Patlabor's big world feel, I say check Patlabor: The Early Day's out. No really, even the Blu-Rays have gotten pretty cheap, as I have single Criterion Collection movies which cost more than the price of this entire OVA.

Saudi consumers plan more spending amid optimism over vaccine rollout – Report
Mubasher: Saudi Arabia's consumers have been increasing their spending over the past months more than the global average, while 20% of Saudis intend to spend more on an ongoing basis post-pandemic, a report by AlixPartners unveiled on Tuesday.
The targeted spending by Saudis is more than any other nationality, as 85% of the surveyed Saudi consumers showed optimism about the vaccination programme, compared to 71% globally.
One of two consumers worldwide would permanently change their consumption habits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's effects. The report indicated that 41% of Saudi Arabian consumers had permanently altered their purchase habits, versus 44% of global shoppers.
Saudi consumers have been also reducing spending cuts, in a pace faster than the global average. They plan to shift to online shopping more rapidly post-pandemic; 79% of the respondents said they are changing the way they shop, compared to 57% globally.
The report added that 32% of the Saudis are shopping more online, compared to 25% on the global level.
AlixPartners has surveyed over 7,000 consumers in China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, UK, and US.
Spending on categories like dining out and out-of-home entertainment is expected to be less impacted by reduction plans.
Saudi Arabians mainly focus on water and energy conservation when planning to spend their money, according to the report.
Director at AlixPartners, Hisham Abdulkhalek, said: "Retailers must still invest in omni stores of the future, with more attention to in-store experience built around curated offering, digitisation, and social experience; whilst optimising operational levers in terms of space, labour, inventory allocation, and delivery."

Here you can see the finances of your team, how much profit (or losses) you are making and how much money you have on your bank account. Make sure you maintain a healthy club or you will go bankrupt!
Every team can choose between three major sponsors that will contribute weekly. However, the amount of money and the duration of contracts differ.
The amount and the length of a contract which each sponsor offers is different for everyone.
So can one person have Rabobank for one season and someone else can have Discovery Channel for one season.
Starting from August the 12th 2007 sponsor contracts are different for each level of division and for each spot in a division.
You'll have more sponsor in come the 4th in division 2 than the 1st in division 3.
Investments are always for a period of 16 weeks. After this period, you get 110% of the invested amount returned to you. Optionally, you can withdraw your investment before the period is over but this will cost you 5% of the amount and and you will lose any interest.
You can make up to 10 investments, with a maximum of € 2,500,000 per investment.

Campaign Council Slams Sahara Reporters For Peddling Falsehood against Andy Uba
Our attention has been drawn to an old report published on Sahara Reporters, an online media outlet, notoriously known for publishing controversial stories, purporting a certificate forgery allegation against the good person of Distinguished Senator Andy Uba, the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate for the November 6, Anambra governorship election.
Ordinarily, the Andy Uba Campaign Council (AUCC), would have chosen to remain silent, and not dignify authors of the rehashed fake news with a response, but we are also conscious of the fact that false and fake news are specifically targeted at the public; voting public, in this instance, the good people of Anambra, who may be deceived, and hence, swayed by what is an outright fabrication.
As a responsible campaign organisation, and as it is in keeping with our avowed commitment to keep the good people of Anambra abreast with needed clarifications on Andy Uba's campaign to emerge as governor, by God's grace, in November, we are forced to clear the air.
Like we earlier pointed out, the report is an old one, published on 31 March, 2017. Common sense should dictate that if there was any truth to the said Sahara Reporters' publication, it would have been a basis for disqualifying our candidate at the party level from even contesting primaries.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), would have been forced to raise objections, too, at some levels.
But as it so happened, Sen. Andy Uba did not only scaled through the party primaries, he has also been stamped with the seal of approval by INEC as the authentic candidate of his party.
Even more, Sen. Uba is still waxing stronger and winning many more stakeholders in Anambra to his worthy course of rescuing the state from the pestilential hands of the ruling party.
May we also add, like we earlier noted, that the platform on which the report was published is notoriously known for the worst form of cash and carry journalism. It's a 'pay-as-you-go' kind of publishing portal, where what you pay its owner and rabble rouser determines what they publish.
A detailed analysis of the said report equally bares it out as a poorly done hack job. To those who are familiar with the basic rules of journalism, the report failed the basic test of balance and justification.
What this means is that when you hear one side of an accusation, you must hear the other side from the man accused, and present both in a balanced manner. No truth was established in the story on the claims made about Sen. Uba to warrant such horrid publication.
No attempt was made by the so called online newspaper to seek out Sen. Andy Uba's comment on the said allegation.
As a result of the foregoing, we are forced to, again, sound the alarm to the general public on the need to be exceptionally wary at this time, going into 2023, of what they read, hear, see and believe on internet.
We live in the internet age where all manner of stories, untrue and baseless, could be digitally altered to make it real.
Nothing, as it were, can stop a virtual recreation of fictional certificate and then sent to an exam body, asking it to authenticate such documentation. Of course, the exam body may likely reject authorship of the said certification, thereby, unwittingly serving to tarnish the image of an innocent man targeted for character assassination because of an election.
We do not claim in absolute terms that this is what happened in the Sahara Reporters' story, but the scenario is a likely possibility, a reason why people should be careful in what they choose to believe.
It is also interesting to note that Sen. Andy Uba has since been in court with the original author of the publication, where the senator is rightly seeking a restitution of N24 billion in damages. The author, as we know, is currently on the run, dodging service of suit by court officials.
It is also curious that this allegation is being made to surface again. This is because, Andy Uba has served twice as a senator. And on both instances, no such allegations came up.
Finally, we advise Sahara Reporters and other reporters of fake news, to see the need in redeeming the dying investigative journalism in Nigeria, and the general public to guard their minds against fake news.

The Belgrade Circle is an NGO established in Belgrade, Serbia, in February 1992.

Initially, the organisation hosted lectures and discussions with mainly Serbian intellectuals, united by their opposition to the nationalist policies of Slobodan Milošević. The Belgrade Circle formed links with NGOs in other parts of the former Yugoslavia, and began to gain an international reputation, hosting lectures by internationally acclaimed intellectuals including Jacques Derrida, Christopher Norris and Richard Rorty. The organisation subsequently focused on strengthening civil society, and worked in co-operation with universities and academics from across the world. It also publishes the Belgrade Circle Journal, which was a member of the Eurozine network between 1995 and 2013, and has published prominent thinkers such as Rorty, Jürgen Habermas and Noam Chomsky.

In 1992 a book entitled Druga Srbja (Second Serbia or Other Serbia) came out featuring a selection of texts and speeches, made during the spring of 1992 at meetings of the Belgrade Circle, against the government, the media, the growth of nationalism and war; Other Serbia became during the 1990s, a term to designate groups and individuals who were anti-war and opposed to nationalism.

Q: JSF outputLink rendered underlined Good evening. I followed the tutorials of primefaces to use some of its controls, I used the outputLink:
<h:outputText value="Fade: " />
<h:outputLink id="fade" value="#">
    <h:outputText value="Fade Effect" />
</h:outputLink>

the outputLink got underlined on mouseover however when I tried to use it, it's rendered in the page underlined by default, I want to know why that happens?

A: Custom CSS is being used on the showcase website. Investigating the CSS used on the link show this:

The rule: text-decoration: none; comes from default.css which does not belong to a Primefaces Theme.
I tested using <p:tooltip for="fade" value="Fade effect is used by default" showEffect="fade" hideEffect="fade" />, but the underline is still there on my version (3.3). So that is not the reason.

Rongorongo
Rongorongo is a system of mysterious glyphs discovered written on various artifacts on Easter Island. Many believe they represent a lost system of writing or proto-writing and could be one of just three or four independent inventions of writing in human history.
The glyphs remain undecipherable, and their true messages — which some believe could offer hints about the perplexing collapse of the statue-building Easter Island civilization — may be lost forever.

shah jee's
Shah Jee's a hidden gem for Downtown lunch crowd
If you are looking for a lunch spot that is cheap, casual, quick and dependable, you may want to try the Pakistani cuisine at Shah Jee's, 770 N. Jefferson St. The restaurant, which is only open for lunch, serves tasty food in a no-frills environment and has developed a loyal following among regular customers.
By Drew Olson Special to OnMilwaukee.com Published Mar 27, 2009 at 11:28 AM
When it comes to grabbing lunch Downtown, most diners are looking food that is quick, cheap and reasonably tasty. Venues that hit the mark in all three categories cultivate loyal customers and do brisk business.
Shah Jee's is one of those places.
Inconspicuously located in a tough-to-find food court at 770 N. Jefferson St., a location where other restaurant's have failed, Shah Jee's is thriving by offering Pakistani food with little fanfare and fewer thrills.
The scene at Shah Jee's, which shares space with the New No. 1 Chinese Restaurant, evokes memories of a high school cafeteria: people line up for hot meals served on paper plates atop plastic trays; they sit at spartan tables under fluorescent lights and eat with plastic utensils.
The big difference, of course, is the quality of the food.
Shah Jee's, which is open only for lunch, serves food that is flavorful enough to overcome any shortcomings in atmosphere. The price -- $7 for two curry items served with basmati rice or roti (a fresh round wheat flour bread) and a soft drink -- keeps customers happy. In fact, many consider it to be one of the "best kept secrets" in town.
"The food is outstanding," said Michael Hart, an attorney who frequents the restaurant along with dozens of "regulars" from nearby offices such as Northwestern Mutual Life. "There is a reason it's crowded all the time."
The signature dish at Shah Jee's is chicken masala -- tender cubes of boneless chicken cooked in a reddish gravy. The mixture of onions, garlic, tomatoes and other spices (possibly ginger and chili powder) is spicy, but not in a way that will make you lunge for a beverage. The flavors tickle the taste buds, but don't leave your mouth burning until dinner time.
As an accompaniment to the masala, many diners choose chana masala, a serving of chick peas cooked with tomatoes and onions. Other options include aalu palak, potatoes and spinach cooked with herbs and spices and saag paneer, cubes of cheese cooked in chopped spinach with fresh Pakistani herbs. Daal masoor, which features red lentils flavored with garlic cloves, green spices and other "authentic" herbs, is another popular choice.
The basmati rice, fragrant and fluffy, has a nutty flavor and serves as a perfect complement to the spice of the main dishes.
Shah Jee's is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. The restaurant does not serve alcohol, but offers Pepsi and Coke products and bottled water.

On a beautiful fall day, we made the hike out to Lower Oneonta Falls. The hike out the gorge was so awesome with the 25 million year old basalt walls towering above on both sides. The water got to just above our waist and was definitely a little chilly. The uniqueness and how beautiful it all was definitely made it worth it!
Clear water on the hike out Oneonta Gorge.
The awesome reward of hiking up Oneonta Gorge is going for a dip in the pool below the Lower Oneonta Falls, Oregon.
Hiking in the amazing Oneonta Gorge surrounded by 25 Million year old Basalt walls covered in moss.
I decided to take advantage of the recent cold weather that we have been having and my first trip out to Abiqua Falls. I knew that it was going to be perfect conditions for some really cool shots. I was most definitely right, It was very cool and surreal having tons of huge icicles hanging all around this big waterfall.

Home Children (Part VI)—Mary Scott Pearson, ancestor of former Ontario Member of Provincial Parliament Jim Brownell
Posted on June 6, 2013 by Library and Archives Canada Blog
Today's article features Mary Scott Pearson who was born in Scotland. Mary's name appears in the Scottish Census of 1881. The entry indicates that she lived in Glasgow with her sister Maggie and their widowed mother, also named Mary. The two sisters became orphans when their mother died in 1888. The next census (1891) indicates that the sisters lived at the Girls Industrial School in Maryhill, in the County of Lanarkshire.
The Pearson sisters were separated in September 1891 when Mary boarded the SS Hibernian en route to Canada as part of a group of 20 young women recruited to work as domestic servants. The young Scottish women's transportation and accommodations were arranged by Ms. E. Cameron, an Industrial School official.
As in previous articles, you must first consult our main home children online resource. Enter the surname Pearson and the given name Mary into this database and it will generate only one result for Mary Pearson, age 14, whose destination was Saint John, New Brunswick. The Fairknowe foster home, administered by a charitable organization known as Quarriers, was Mary Pearson's first place of residence in Canada.
Ten years after her arrival, according to the Census of 1901, Mary was living in Prescott, Ontario, with the family of Patrick MacMillen. She married Curtis Brownell five years later, on March 21, 1906, in Cornwall, County of Stormont. The couple's first son, Earl Kenneth, was born in September of the following year.
Mary Scott Pearson and Curtis Brownell raised their family in Cornwall, where they lived until the time of their deaths; Curtis died in 1931 and Mary died in 1945.
Jim Brownell, son of Earl Kenneth Brownell, honours his grandmother's arrival in Canada
Her grandson, Jim, elected Member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 2003, travelled to Scotland in 2009 when he visited the city of Glasgow, officially representing the Government of Ontario. The articles that appeared in the Cornwall daily newspaper, the Standard Freeholder, on September 23, 2009 and May 25, 2011, describe the journey of Mary S. Pearson and her sister Maggie, and Mr. Brownell's work to foster a better understanding of the often little-known home children movement.
In 2011, as Member of Provincial Parliament for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, Jim Brownell tabled Bill 185 in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to have September 28 proclaimed "British Home Child Day." The purpose of the bill, which received royal assent on June 1 of that year, was to honour his grandmother and his great-aunt Maggie, as well as the more than 100,000 British home children.
Don't forget to read the previous articles in this series on home children and listen to our podcast!
Happy hunting and enjoy your discoveries!

Odds Calculators
When an ER is Overcrowded, the Wait Times Get Dangerous
by Book of Odds
On June 19th, 2008, 49-year-old Esmin Elizabeth Green collapsed onto the floor of the psychiatric emergency room of Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn. She had been waiting for more than 24 hours for an inpatient bed. For 20 minutes she writhed on the linoleum floor, and then stopped moving. Forty minutes later, a nurse nudged her. Green was already dead.
The scene caught on security cameras produced outrage and a renewed concern about the state of the nation's emergency rooms. A study by the Government Accountability Office estimated that there were 119 million ER visits in 2006. A combination of factors has led to serious overcrowding, including an influx of patients with no access to primary care doctors who are forced to use the ER, and competition for inpatient beds between ER patients and patients scheduled for procedures like elective surgery.
For someone in a life-threatening situation, the recommended wait time before receiving medical attention in an ER is less than one minute; in 2006, 1 in 1.35 (74%) of those patients waited longer, sometimes far longer. The average wait was 28 minutes. At the next level of urgency, for patients needing emergent care, the recommended time is 1 to 14 minutes, and 1 in 1.98(51%) waited longer. The average wait for these patients was 37 minutes, up from 23 minutes just three years before.
The consequences of this slowdown can be deadly. A 2009 study showed that patients arriving at the ER with chest pain are significantly more likely to suffer cardiac arrests and heart attacks when the emergency room is crowded. And the prospect of flu victims flocking to already stretched ERs this flu season has many physicians and public health officials across the country concerned. "Our emergency healthcare system suffers from severe crowding on a daily basis," says Dr. Kristi Koenig, director of public health preparedness for UC Irvine Healthcare. Handling an additional onslaught of flu victims would be "very challenging."
The emergency room overload in turn taxes fire departments. According to the International Association of Firefighters, emergency calls have increased by 1.2 million in the past year, many of them for medical emergencies. For one Engine Company in Washington, DC, about 80% of calls are health-related.
As emergency rooms, the nation's ultimate health care safety net, get slower—the odds that a patient requiring urgent treatment will wait longer than an hour are 1 in 4.83—one statistic may come as a surprise: patient satisfaction is on the rise. The state of Florida ranks 37th in emergency room wait times – an average of 266 minutes. However the greater Miami area hospitals rank first in patient satisfaction.
New Yorkers are perhaps less sanguine. On the day after Esmin Elizabeth Green's death, the hospital fired 3 workers and suspended another 3; and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit accusing the county of systematic neglect. And in May of 2009, New York City agreed to pay the family of Esmin Elizabeth Green over 2 million dollars to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.

Thoughts on inscribed and autographed books after the 2016 BSI dinner weekend.
In a chapter of his most wonderful book about the collecting mania, Penny Wise & Book Foolish, Starrett announced that he had long since given up collecting autographs.
Of course, if Starrett stopped buying autographs, he never gave up buying books with inscriptions by the author. A simple signature or a long note from the author always whetted his appetite.
I was thinking about autographs and inscriptions earlier today as I sat at Studies in Starret's international headquarters while a blizzard buffets the house. It seemed like a good time to sort through the stack of books that came home with me from the 2016 Baker Street Irregulars dinner weekend. Many of these books have signatures or inscriptions and, as the snow piles up outside, it's pleasant to remember how pen came to be placed on paper.
Bert Coules and I at the Mysterious Bookshop. Photo courtesy of Steve Doyle.
Take this one for example. This is the original edition of Bert Coules' 221 BBC, the story of how Bert came to be an important part of a remarkable effort: The only radio production of all 60 stories in the Canon. I have a later, much expanded edition of Bert's book, but never picked up the original, until that Thursday morning in Otto Penzler's Mysterious Bookshop.
After doffing my coat and heading to the back wall where there is an overwhelming amount of Sherlockiana, I could not help but notice Bert was up on the ladder reaching out for a slim volume on the top shelf. After he came down, I ascended, brought down that book and asked him to sign it. Steven Doyle was there to capture the act with a photo. Put it together with the inscription, and it's a moment to remember.
It was also at Otto's that I ran into Don Hobbs, whose passion for foreign language editions of the Canon knows no bounds. Don co-edited Spain and Sherlock Holmes, so it seemed a good time to get him to sign this copy.
Don is one of the most companionable collectors I know, and it was great to catch up.
We'll be working together this year on a little project and I look forward to having more contact with him as time goes by.
In case your wondering, "el juago esta en marcha" roughly translates to "The game is afoot."
And of course, Otto himself was presiding over the floor of his shop. Of special interest was his The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories and its British cousin, simply entitled Sherlock. The British edition came first, and while its title is shorter, the book comes in at a whopping 899 pages.
Compare this with its slimmer American cousin, at a mere 789 pages.
I'm delighted that Otto was willing to inscribe each edition.
Just one more before I close.
One of the great pleasures of being involved with the BSI has been getting to know folks who have become not only "Sherlock Holmes friends", but life friends. Steve Doyle falls into that category. Although we don't see each other often, we always pick up right where we left off and the pleasure of hanging out with each other never diminishes.
Steve did a great job on this year's Christmas Issue of The Baker Street Journal and I am more delighted that I can say about having him inscribe this copy.
The weekend brought many more signatures and inscriptions that I treasure (Don Redmond, Matt Laffey, Jenn Eaker, Scott Bond and several others) but I've done enough showing off.
It's time to run the snow blower for a while.
Read books. Have a drink. Stay warm.


HAYWARD — The White House is honoring a veteran for her military service and entrepreneurship.
Graciela Tiscareno-Sato is one of 10 "Women Veteran Leader Champions of Change" who will be recognized Tuesday at a White House ceremony.
The Hayward businesswoman's education publishing company, Gracefully Global Group, focuses on stories of Latino innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs and members of the military.
"I'm overflowing with gratitude at being recognized by the White House for my military service and my dedication to creating unique literature that showcases Latino contributions," she said.
The daughter of immigrants attended UC Berkeley on an ROTC scholarship, graduating with a degree in environmental design and architecture.
She earned her master's degree in international business management while in the Air Force, where she received an Air Medal for combat operations over Iraq.
She won four international book awards for "Latinnovating: Green American Jobs and the Latinos Creating Them." She also has written "Good Night Captain Mama/Buenas Noches Capitan Mama," a bilingual children's book about women serving in the military.

World Bank gives Nepal $155.7 million in financial assistance
The World Bank on Wednesday provided financial assistance of $155.7 million to the government to invest in the construction and maintenance of safe, resilient and cost-effective bridges in Nepal and improving food security of vulnerable households and communities.
Published at : November 15, 2018
Updated at : November 15, 2018 10:03
The World Bank on Wednesday provided financial assistance of $155.7 million to the government to invest in the construction and maintenance of safe, resilient and cost-effective bridges in Nepal and improving food security of vulnerable households and communities. The fund will be invested in strategic road networks and food and nutrition enhancement projects.
"These two projects are expected to ensure better livelihoods, access, and trade opportunities for thousands of Nepalis," said Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwada.
The first credit of $133 million will be mobilised in the country's strategic roads network, comprising of around 12,142 km of national highways, feeder roads and other roads of national importance.
The second project will be in the form of a grant of $22.7 million that will contribute to the government's capacity to deliver agriculture extension services at the decentralised levels and to diversify income opportunities for the rural poor.
The first credit will finance the $ 133 million second bridges improvement and maintenance programme targeting around 477 bridges along Nepal's strategic roads network. This includes maintenance support for 90 bridges and upgrading road safety measures on 180 existing bridges to help reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
The programme will also support construction, rehabilitation or replacement of 80 new two-lane bridges and 35 four-lane bridges. In addition, it will help the Department of Roads to complete construction of 92 bridges that are vital to improving connectivity and access throughout Nepal.
"We are deepening our collaboration with Nepal through the development and sustainability of key strategic bridges and enhancing food security and nutrition. These contribute greatly to Nepal's development by addressing the need for connectivity, human capital development and shared prosperity," said Hartwig Schafer, Vice President of World Bank for South Asia Region.
Similarly, the multi-donor Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme (GAFSP) will provide a $22.7 million grant to support the Food and Nutrition Enhancement Project. The project aims to improve the health and livelihoods of around 65,000 direct beneficiaries, of which 65 percent will target women.
It will work with smallholders and marginal farmers to improve nutritional behavior by linking it with agriculture-related and income-enhancing activities. In addition, farmers from adjacent communities are expected to indirectly benefit through knowledge exchanges and other engagements from project-supported farmers.
Two separate agreements were signed by Finance Secretary Rajan Khanal and the World Bank Country Director for Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, Qimiao Fan, in Kathmandu.

The administration of a business includes the performance or management of business operations and decision making, as well as the efficient organization of people and other resources, to direct activities toward common goals and objectives.

In general, administration refers to the broader management function, including the associated finance, personnel and MIS services.

In some analyses, management is viewed as a subset of administration, specifically associated with the technical and operational aspects of an organization, distinct from executive or strategic functions. Alternatively, administration can refer to the bureaucratic or operational performance of routine office tasks, usually internally oriented and reactive rather than proactive. Administrators, broadly speaking, engage in a common set of functions to meet the organization's goals. These "functions" of the administrator were described by Henri Fayol as "the five elements of administration"

Match that against the 7 highest Import salaries then..
An average of Canadian Starters vs American Starters, by position, would make the most sense. Even NI starters vs Imp starters makes more sense than average NI vs average Imp without QB's.
Have to love Carter trashing Canadians. The guy is a joke.
To be fair he was talking to Foley, who is just as equally a joke.
Yeah but how many Foleys would it take to carry Carter's jock strap?
None - you have to be a man to wear a jock strap..
Anthony Orange should shut his F'n mouth.
Thank your good luck every day you aren't in jail, you woman beating piece of trash.
What a shock, Carter continues to be a moron, no surprise considering who his daddy is. Props to Burnham for his comments.
Liked Burnham before. Kind of love him now.
depends, do you want a job as the 4th ni qb? and do you have 4 friends who also want those jobs?
Ferguson needs 4 more tweets just to explain everything.
I don't want to hear his opinion on anything.
so wait.......AJ Jefferson = Anthony Orange? What's the deal there?
Long story short - his dad is a Jefferson but wasn't around so he started going by his mother's name.
Yeah, right. Or his assault is the first thing that comes up when you google his name.
Riders sign 2018 1st rounder Dakoda Shepley.
Could be an exception in that case, but it's not the norm. Shutdown offensive tackles are well paid, period.

Domino's Pizza to exit four international markets
Updated / Thursday, 17 Oct 2019 09:49
Domino's Pizza set to exit four international markets
Domino's Pizza Group said today it would quit its loss-making international operations, sending shares higher in early trade.
The decision to exit four European markets comes a few months after the company announced CEO David Wild would retire, in the midst of a row with disgruntled franchisees in the UK and Ireland over commercial terms.
The company - which is itself a franchise of US-based Domino's Pizza Inc - owns Domino's operations in Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and owns a minority stake in its German operations.
"We have concluded that, whilst they represent attractive markets, we are not the best owners of these businesses," outgoing CEO Wild said.
Analysts said the move would allow Domino's to focus on its core British and Irish businesses and clear the deck for a new CEO to boost growth in those markets.
Domino's has struggled to control costs in its overseas business, especially in Norway, where it was converting the local pizza operator Dolly Dimple's stores it bought in 2017.
With 57 stores in Norway, the company set a turnaround plan in the country during the quarter but early signs from the plan were mixed and improvement in sales were weaker than expected, the company said.
Adding to the company's woes, Europe's economy has slowed this year as the US-China trade tensions weakened global growth, and consumers and businesses in and around the UK worried about the impact of Brexit on jobs and incomes.
"Although the impasse with the UK franchisees is ongoing, the decision to exit the loss-making international markets in an orderly manner releases one of the constraints on the share price," analysts said.
The company said third-quarter group system sales rose 3.4% to £313.5m on strong demand in the UK and Ireland.
Its Irish system sales were up 2.4% in local currency and it opened three new stores here in the three month period to bring its total here to 54.
However, the company's international system sales fell 2.7% and it also warned of a decline in tourist numbers in Iceland.
The company has 63 franchisees in Britain and seven in Ireland, with two of the largest franchisees accounting for 39% of stores.
"Normal working practices continue to be impacted by our franchisee dispute - this situation is complex and we expect a resolution to take time, certainly into 2020," Wild said on the profit sharing row.
The company said the search for a new chief executive continues while it also looks for a new chairman.

New Delhi: Nitish pitches for Delhi's full statehood, prohibition
PTI | 23 Oct 2019 5:28 PM GMT
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday batted for full statehood for Delhi and prohibition in the city as his party Janata Dal (United) geared up for contesting the assembly polls here due early next year.
New Delhi (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday batted for full statehood for Delhi and prohibition in the city as his party Janata Dal (United) geared up for contesting the assembly polls here due early next year.
Addressing workers of the BJP ally JD(U), Kumar also reiterated his demand for special status for Bihar, which the Modi government had earlier rejected. "We have always been in favour of full statehood for Delhi. Like we want special status for Bihar, we have always wanted statehood for Delhi," the JD(U) president said.
He also demanded that prohibition be implemented in Delhi as his government had done so in Bihar. "Prohibition is a very important thing and it should be implemented in the entire country. Why should it not be implemented in Delhi? Alcohol is such a bad thing that we banned it (sale and consumption) in 2016. We implemented prohibition on the request of women. There has been a decline in domestic fight and law and order has also improved," he said.
Kumar took a swipe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his comments that people from Bihar buy Rs 500 tickets to reach Delhi and avail medical treatment here worth Rs 5 lakh for free. "Delhi's hospitals are for everyone. Why was Bihar's name taken? If anyone comes from anywhere, be it UP, Haryana, or Bihar for treatment to Delhi, they belong to Delhi only," Kumar said.
Kejriwal had later clarified that he only highlighted health facilities offered by his government and did not mean to target anybody. Kumar also spoke how his government does not believe in publicising about its achievements. "There are many people who work less but seek publicity. We are not those who do that. Bihar sees the least number of advertisements of government. "We do not publicise our achievements. We believe in serving people and that is what we follow in Bihar," he added. He left it to the Delhi unit of the party to decide as to how many seats the JD(U) will contest in the assembly polls.
The JD(U)'s alliance with the BJP has remained confined to Bihar and it has been fighting polls on its own outside the state. The party is eyeing migrant voters from Poorvanchal and Bihar to make an impact in the city where the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, BJP and the Congress are key contenders. If people from Bihar stop working even for a day, Delhi will come to a standstill, Kumar said. "Delhi is the national capital and it belongs to the entire country. People from various other cities reside here. People from Bihar reside here in large numbers and they have a huge role to play here. Earlier, they were made fun of but now they say with pride that they are from Bihar," he said.
Kumar urged his party workers to talk to people about how development work has been undertaken in Bihar and how the state has progressed under his government. "We have improved law and order situation in Bihar and brought peace and harmony in the state. We have worked for women's empowerment in Bihar," he told party workers.
On a day when the Union cabinet approved a proposal to grant ownership rights to people living in unauthorised colonies in Delhi, Kumar urged party workers to start a campaign for regularisation of unauthorised colonies. He also talked about launching a campaign for clean drinking water for Delhiites, just like his government is running a campaign 'Har Ghar Nal Ka Jal in Bihar. "Delhi Jal Board comes under the CM here. It should be ensured that everyone gets water. We have to start a campaign for it," he said.

Rights group says 48 deported, banned in Singapore
Koh Gui Qing
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-09-17T160027Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-267987-1.xml
Around 48 activists from 16 countries who wanted to attend the IMF-World Bank meetings or related events in Singapore have been deported, banned or interrogated by police, a rights group said on Sunday.
The organizers of the International People's Forum on the Indonesian island of Batam — where NGOs are staging an alternative meeting — said that 12 activists had been deported, 27 had been warned they might be questioned or turned away and nine had been interrogated at Singapore's Changi airport.
Singapore police declined to comment.
Singapore, which is hosting the World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meetings, was strongly criticised by the two international agencies for blacklisting several activists. Nearly 500 representatives of non-governmental organisations had registered for the event.
Forum officials told a news conference that 12 activists were deported from Singapore as they arrived at Changi airport and before they could make their way to Batam, a 40-minute ferry ride from Singapore. Forum officials declined to give any names.\

Nick Clegg's Letter from the Leader: It's Summer – back to work
By The Voice | Sun 28th July 2013 - 10:40 am
Follow @libdemvoice
This week, Nick's focus is on the Liberal Democrats' Million Jobs campaign. He talks about his experience shadowing an apprentice in a pharmacy in his Sheffield constituency. We're glad he reassured us that his work was carefully double and triple checked. Find out what other Liberal Democrat MPs are up to in their areas…
This summer, Liberal Democrat MPs and Peers are going back to the shop floor and finding out what it is like to be an apprentice.
For my part, I spent some time last week stepping into the shoes of 18-year-old Genna Hibberson, an apprentice pharmacy technician in Sheffield. It's a tricky job. You have to be very precise when handling medicines because there's no room for error when you're dealing with people's health – is it the right dose? Are the instructions correct? Is it in the right container? Everything has to be double and triple checked.
Luckily, Genna was very patient with me. I definitely didn't show anything close to the talent or expertise she has, but at least she reassured me I didn't make any mistakes!
So far this summer, a number of Lib Dem MPs and Peers have got stuck in at workplaces around the country and more will be doing so in August and September. For example, Danny Alexander has spent time as an apprentice butcher and baker at his local Morrison's; John Leech went to work at a social housing company; and Andrew Stunell has mucked in at an Aldi branch.
It's about practising what we preach and selling the benefits of apprenticeships to young people and employers.
I'm hugely proud of the massive expansion of apprenticeships that Liberal Democrats have overseen in government – more than a million new apprentices since 2010.
As part of our A Million Jobs for a Stronger Economy campaign I want all Liberal Democrats to bang the drum about apprentices. I want us to tell young people how great they are for getting into skilled, challenging and well-paid careers. And I want us to tell businesses that taking on apprentices gives them the skilled workers they need to thrive and expand.
Join the campaign here.

Danny Alexander spending time as a butcher, priceless. He has had three years practice
Frank Booth 28th Jul '13 - 3:39pm
Rather than spending time as apprentices wouldn't it be better if the Lib Dems actually tried to do something to help the economy? What has Vince actually achieved as Business Sec? Forget the latest GDP figures (froth) the underlying economy remains desperately weak.
DefenestrateClegg 28th Jul '13 - 4:44pm
Surprised Danny Alexander wasn't doing forestry, but suppose he doesn't need any more expertise in axing does he ?
This kind of patronising approach is not going to win the party any favours.
It's also misleading for the headline to say 'back to work' when in fact Clegg is soon off on another holiday jaunt at a time when many people will not be able to afford a holiday as Coalition austerity takes its toll.
David Evans 28th Jul '13 - 5:15pm
Indeed. When you have inherited a ship that the previous captains deliberately sailed too fast for two long and ran it into a series of icebergs, is now holed below the waterline in several places and is about to go under, keeping it afloat and level for three years is a massive achievement. We may actually now be reaching the stage where the deficit can be repaired properly while still carrying the dead weight of Labour's debt. Then there is just the debt itself debt to pay back.
Simples!
David Allen 28th Jul '13 - 6:15pm
Some time back, Paddy Ashdown wrote a book called Beyond Westminster which was superficially a bit like this stunt. Paddy travelled far and wide, and visited a lot of very different people. Then he wrote, often very interestingly, about what he had learned, and how it had affected what he would say and do when he got back to Westminster. The contrast with today is painful.
Michael Parsons 29th Jul '13 - 10:04am
Ha! 'Luckily, Genna was very patient with me. ' Well that's more than most are, I suggest.
As to "repaying debt" if tax-payers' money is used to cancell entries on a bank's loan book, the money is effectively destroyed. Do that often enough and the economy comes to a stand-still- inspired by an ideolgy of austerity that insolently pretends housing-bubbles are "economic growth", while the UK oligarchy repeats the stupidities of the 1972 property boom (and much since) in their pocket-lining exercises. It isn't as if they don't know how to aid the people and deal with slumps, but that they won't..

Citrix Consulting have released this awesome whitepaper that is a most read if you are an consultant, architect, administrator or you would like to learn how to design, implement XenApp / XenDesktop with the best practise advise from citrix consulting.
The foundation of any good XenDesktop or XenApp enterprise design should be adherence to a collection of best practices which are based upon knowledge gathered from previous enterprise deployments, lab validations, and lessons learned in the field. Such best practices are just a starting point for a design, as an organization's specific design requirements will often necessitate deviation from the recommended path. By using the following recommendations as a starting point, the foundation of the design will be robust enough to support many different deployment scenarios.
For further guidance and more detailed information, please refer to the XenDesktop Design Handbook.
The recommendations provided within this document may not be appropriate for every environment. Therefore, all best practices within this document should be evaluated in an isolated test environment prior to being implemented in production.
Citrix Consulting have released a new whitepaper about XenDesktop Planning Guide – XenServer Integration.
With the release of XenDesktop 5 in December 2010, Citrix has introduced among many other features (see Key Features) a new architecture of the brokering layer. While the brokers of previous releases of XenDesktop where based on XenApp and its IMA core, XenDesktop 5 features a brand new state of the art architecture (see Key Differences). As a result an in-place upgrade of the brokers and the XenDesktop farm respectively is not possible and a parallel implementation of the new components is required.
While this approach is more complex than a simple in-place upgrade, it also offers a unique opportunity to review the existing design and adapt it to user requirements, which might have evolved over time, and to incorporate operational experiences.
Server Roles: Until XenDesktop 4, it was necessary to dedicate servers for XML brokering, VDA registrations and farm master. This is not required for XenDesktop 5.
Desktop Catalogs: Another key change is the introduction of Desktop Catalogs in addition to Desktop Groups. This additional layer can offer a big plus in flexibility.
Citrix Policies: XenDesktop 5 allows configuring user session policies and site settings within Active Directory Group Policies in addition to configuring policies within the XenDesktop database. It is strongly recommended to choose one exclusively, which incurs less administrative overhead and easier troubleshooting in case of unexpected results.
Database: XenDesktop 5 has a greater reliance on the SQL database, resulting in considerably higher utilization and performance requirements. More importantly, the database is now a highly critical component, which needs to be configured for redundancy.
The XenDesktop Migration Planning Guide has been posted as part of the XenDesktop Design Handbook (http://bit.ly/xdhandbook).
Note: Make sure following the XenDesktop Design Handbook to get notified automatically as new technical content (such as XD scalability information or MCS/PVS planning guides) becomes available.

Mott MacDonald adds 2,000 staff in US
By Iain Withers2016-04-25T15:25:00+01:00
Independent UK engineer buys out parts of its North American joint venture
Independent UK engineer Mott MacDonald has added 2,000 staff and 62 offices to its growing North America business, after buying out parts of a long-standing joint venture business, Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM).
Under the deal, which completed today, Mott MacDonald takes over HMM's US business and its North America-wide pipelines business. Canada-based Hatch acquires the rest of HMM's Canada business.
Mott MacDonald said its North American clients now span the transportation, water, wastewater, oil and gas, power, pipelines, tunnels, buildings, stadiums, education, health and international aid sectors.
Keith Howells, Mott MacDonald (pictured) chairman, said: " "Renewing roads, bridges, airports, railways and water systems is vital to keeping North America economically competitive but realising large-scale infrastructure projects requires innovative approaches to finance, procurement and engineering.
"With our additional staff and offices we are in a stronger position than ever before to work in partnership with our clients to help them address these issues and provide real, everyday improvements to the lives of North Americans."
Mott MacDonald has played roles on some of the region's largest infrastructure projects such as East Side Access in New York, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Tampa Bay and Carlsbad desalination plants, the Brayton Point cooling towers in New England, DC Water capital improvement programme, Mosaic Stadium in Regina, the New Irvington Water Tunnel in California, and the Centre Hospitalier de l'Universite de Montreal.
The HMM transaction was first announced last November.

The Bani Amirwho had a pact with Muhammad, refused to join. So far the Banu Qurayza had tried their best to remain neutral, [9] and were very hesitant about joining the Confederates since they had earlier made a pact with Muhammad.
Being informed about polytheists' determination by a supporter from Khuza'a tribe, the Prophet s asked for people's opinions about whether to stay in Medina and fight there, or leave the city and confront the polytheists out of the city. Following the retreat of the Confederate army, the Banu Qurayza neighbourhoods were besieged by the Muslims, in revenge.
In total, the strength of the Confederate armies, though not agreed upon by scholars, is estimated to have included around 10, men and six hundred horsemen. Asad al-Qurazithe leader of Banu Qurayza, despite his unwillingness at the beginning, chose to be on the polytheists' side after the because of the persuasion of Huyayy b.
Nuaym then came up with an efficient stratagem. The final army that would defend the city from the invasion consisted of 3, men, [17] and included all inhabitants of Medina over the age of 14, except the Banu Qurayza the Qurayza did supply the Muslims with some instruments for digging the trench.

What is coming from you to us? You will surely enter the Sacred Mosque, God willing, in safety and without any fear, with your heads shaven or hair cropped. Four thousands of them along with three hundred horses and 1, camels were from Quraysh tribe and its confederates. The leaders found that khaandaq pact indeed had been renounced and tried in vain to convince the Qurayza to revert by reminding them of the fate of the Banu Nadir and Banu Qaynuqa at ghzzwa hands of Ghaxwa.
Thus the Confederacy should not give a single man as hostage.
The Sahih al-Bukhari collection also mentions that after the battle, Muslims were to carry out offensive attacks against their enemies: However, Muhammad's diplomacy derailed the negotiations, and broke up the confederacy against him.

The battle is named after " trench ", or khandaqthat was dug by Muslims in preparation for the battle. Muslims remained ghxzwa, while they were overwhelmed with panic.
A book and a decree, and massacre have been written against the Sons of Israel.
