Кирказо́н, или Аристоло́хия () — род многолетних трав и деревянистых лиан семейства . Насчитывает около 480 видов, распространённых в тропическом, реже в умеренном поясах.

Ботаническое описание
Виды рода Кирказон представляют собой многолетние травянистые растения с гладкими прямостоячими или вьющимися побегами или деревянистые лианы.

Листья простые, черешковые, очерёдные, у многих видов сердцевидной формы.

Цветки зигоморфные, собраны в короткие соцветия в пазухах листьев. Венчик, как правило, отсутствует. Околоцветник трубчатый, внизу раздутый, на верхнем конце у большинства видов с косым языковидным отгибом. Тычинок 3—6, короткие, сросшиеся со столбиком, образуя так называемый гиностемий. Цветки перекрёстноопыляемые, рыльца созревают раньше пыльников, что исключает самоопыление.

Плод — сухая шаровидная или грушевидная коробочка.

Процесс опыления
Кирказон — энтомофильное, то есть опыляемое насекомыми растение, опылителями в основном являются мухи, жуки и комары.

Очень интересен процесс опыления у этих растений. Пятнистая окраска отогнутого язычка околоцветника напоминает гниющее мясо, цветки многих видов также испускают неприятный запах, привлекающий мух. Внутри трубчатой части околоцветника имеются косо направленные внутрь волоски, мешающие проникшему в цветок насекомому выползать назад, поэтому муха оказывается в ловушке и, ползая в поисках выхода, опыляет цветок. После опыления волоски вянут и опадают, открывая выход, а пыльники раскрываются, осыпая пыльцой выползающее насекомое, которое летит на другой цветок и там процесс повторяется.

У нескольких южноамериканских видов цветок устроен ещё более сложно: кроме ловушки он имеет дополнительную камеру, так называемую «тюрьму», где и расположены органы размножения цветка. Причём стенки «тюрьмы» имеют цвет более светлый, чем стенки ловушки, и насекомое, устремляясь к свету, заползает туда. После опыления, наоборот, светлее становится ловушка

Места обитания
Большинство видов кирказона произрастают в областях тропического климата Америки, Африки и Азии и лишь несколько видов встречаются в зонах умеренного климата. На территории России — 5 видов (в европейской части и на Северном Кавказе, на Дальнем Востоке). В Казахстане также известен под местным названием «жиренше».

Токсичность
Растения содержат , которая обладает канцерогенным, мутагенным и нефротоксическим действием. Употребление их или их отваров в пищу приводит к поражению почек — аристолохиевой нефропатии ().

С 1981 года препараты, содержащие аристолохиевую кислоту, запрещены в Германии и Австралии, с 1982 года — в Египте. С 1999 года БАДы, содержащие аристолохию, запрещены в Великобритании, с 2001 года — в США.

С 2008 года запрещён ввоз на территорию России, изготовление и продажа биологически активных добавок, в состав которых входит кирказон.

Применение
Многие виды кирказона декоративны и выращиваются в парках и оранжереях. Огромные цветки  достигают 33 см в длину и 27 см в диаметре. Часто выращивают , имеющий листья длиной до 30 см и цветки в форме курительной трубки.  получил название «ситцевый цветок» за своеобразную окраску своих цветков.

Экстрактами из растений этого семейства с древних времён лечились по всему миру. В частности, в Европе  использовался как наружное средство. В литературе имеются сведения, что некоторые южноамериканские виды (в частности,  применялись в местной народной медицине как средство от укусов змей. Однако из-за ядовитости применять препараты из этого растения следует строго по назначению врача.

Кирказон маньчжурский () входит в состав травяных сборов, считающихся традиционными в Китае, где в результате моды на традиционную китайскую медицину резко выросло количество заболеваний почек.

 является редким видом и занесён в Красную Книгу Российской Федерации. Сбор его для изготовления лекарственных средств ограничен и подлежит обязательному контролю государственных служб.

Различные виды рода Кирказон используются в народной медицине в качестве , а именно: Aristolochia acuminat, Aristolochia clematitis, Aristolochia daemoninoxia, Aristolochia gibertii, Aristolochia heppii, Aristolochia indica, Aristolochia longa, Aristolochia philippinensis, Aristolochia rodriguesii, Aristolochia rotunda, Aristolochia rugosa, Aristolochia sericea, Aristolochia triangularis, Aristolochia trilobata.

Home / Health / Nutrient Deficiency: Most Common Ones To Watch Out For!
Nutrient deficiency is now an everyday scenario. With our on-the-go lifestyle, health has taken a backseat, because of which taking care is somewhat a luxury. We don't really have the time to reflect on the things affecting us. In fact, there often isn't enough knowledge either. Being aware of nutritional deficiency symptoms can certainly help you take better control of your health. So, if you've been feeling too tired lately without a significant reason, watch out for these common vitamin deficiencies.
Which Nutrient Deficiency Do You Have?
Vitamin A deficiency is most common among children in their growing ages. It leads to vision-related problems in both kids as well as adults. However, a sufficient amount protects the individual from several infections. It's an antioxidant that guards immunity, but lack of it causes temporary or permanent damage to eyes, skin and the cell membranes.
A nutrient deficiency like that of the vitamin B complex (B12) is on the rise, especially for vegetarians. B12 is primarily found in animal sources, however vegan sources too can suffice the lack. But, without this nutrient, the body starts to behave in a strange manner as it disturbs your brain cells.
Amongst the most common is iron deficiency, which affects a majority of people around the globe – especially women since they menstruate. It is marked by a lowering production of the red blood cells which eventually lead to anemia.
This one's a major player in activating several metabolic reactions. But stress, exertion as well as a poor diet can easily affect the levels of magnesium in the body.
To maintain stronger bone health, vitamin D is an essential nutrient for the body. Lack of it can wreck the entire functioning of the body. However, vitamin D deficiency is easy to develop and it restricts the absorption of calcium by the body. Around 50% of the population is affected by this nutrient deficiency but good food and proper lifestyle can cure the condition.

BBC charter review
The BBC appears to have escaped with comparatively little change as a result of the government white paper anticipating the renewal of its Royal Charter. There is still some concern about the government appointing seats on its board, but the members of the BBC Trust and the governors before them were also official appointments. The financing of the BBC seems to be secured for the next decade but the biggest issues facing the corporation are still unsettled.
After a lot of huffing and puffing on all sides, John Whittingdale, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, appears to have been persuaded to leave the BBC mainly alone. The government white paper, entitled A BBC for the future: a broadcaster of distinction, proposes a number of changes but seems largely positive for the BBC.
He said: "These reforms will embolden the BBC to take risks, to create confidently and unashamedly the highest quality, distinctive content for all audiences. It will provide the foundations for a stronger, more independent, more distinctive BBC that will inform, educate and entertain for many years to come."
As anticipated, and generally agreed, the main structural proposal is to establish a single board, largely appointed by the BBC with some members selected through a public appointments process led by the government. This will replace the current two-tier system with the BBC Executive, technically appointed by the BBC Trust, which was ultimately in any case appointed by the government. The BBC will ultimately be subject to external independent regulation by Ofcom, like all other broadcasters in the country.
Tony Hall, the director general of the BBC, broadly welcomed the white paper but expressed concern about how the new board is appointed. "We have an honest disagreement with the government on this," he said. "I do not believe that the appointments proposals for the new unitary board are yet right. We will continue to make the case to government. It is vital for the future of the BBC that its independence is fully preserved."
The Charter will be renewed for 11 years rather than 10, so that it does not clash with the cycle of general elections, with provision for a review in that period. The requirement for impartiality will be written into a revised mission: "To act in the public interest, serving all audiences with impartial, high-quality and distinctive media content and services that inform, educate and entertain." It is not exactly catchy but is difficult to argue against. However, the requirement to be impartial is rather different from the existing guarantee of independence.
The television licence fee, which has been frozen at £145,50 since 2010, will be increased in line with inflation for five years, with a new process for setting the licence fee. It will still be a criminal offence to watch any television broadcast without a licence. People will also need to be covered by a television licence to 'catch up' on programmes through the BBC iPlayer, although it is up to the BBC how to implement this. They also have the scope to charge people outside the United Kingdom to watch programmes.
BBC executives are no doubt congratulating themselves on the outcome but it leaves open the long-term question of how the BBC should best be funded. While there is widespread support for the BBC, there is still substantial opposition to the television licence fee as the funding mechanism, which seems increasingly anachronistic and will appear even more so in a decade. The opportunity to address this has been postponed for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, the BBC is apparently charged with providing media content and services, not necessarily limited to broadcasting or related online activities. The remit remains rather vague, essentially supporting anything that informs, educates or entertains. In many ways that is a good thing, but lacks a clear sense of purpose. This will no doubt be expressed in any revision of the public purposes in the Charter, where there is the potential to define the essence of the institution and its raison d'être beyond the current bland policy commitments.
So there is still much to scrutinise in the drafting of the detail, but with its immediate future secured, the BBC now needs to focus on exactly what it should be doing.
A BBC for the future: a broadcaster of distinction is published by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and is available through the government web site.

A Prússia Ducal (ou Ducado da Prússia) foi, entre 1525 e 1657, um feudo na costa báltica, subordinado à Ordem Teutônica. Ela surgiu como resultado de uma guerra (1454-1466) entre a Polônia e a Ordem Teutônica. Sua capital era Königsberg e o idioma oficial era o alemão.

A referência histórica à Prússia Ducal deve-se ao fato da existência de duas Prússias à época: esta e a Prússia Real, um feudo localizado mais ao sudoeste, que se distinguia por ser subordinado à coroa polonesa sob a forma de união pessoal (quando um único chefe de Estado comanda dois estados independentes).

Em 1701, tanto a Prússia Ducal quanto a Prússia Real foram integradas ao recém-criado Reino da Prússia e corresponderiam à província de Ostpreußen (Prússia Oriental).

Q: A trivial vector bundle with a riemannian metric has an isomorphism with the trivial bundle that is an isometry on each fiber. The problem:
Demonstrate that If  $\xi^n=(E,\Pi,M)$ is a trival vector bundle with a riemannian metric, then there exist an isomorphism $\psi:E\to$ M x $R^n$ Such that $\psi $ is an isometry on each fiber.
What I have got:
Since $\xi^n$ is a trivial bundle I have an isomorphism $\psi:E\to$ M x $R^n$.
The Riemannian metric gives me an inner product on each fiber. So i can define a norm and find with Gram-Schmidt an ortonormal basis for each fibre, And construct an isometry with $\psi$  and a coordinate transformation. But i dont underestand why it would result in a vector bundle isomorphism.
I would appreciate a lot any help!

A: The point is that the Gram-Schmidt process is continuous (it is even smooth if this makes sense). Your vector bundle isomorphism will give you $n$ sections that form a basis of $E_x$ for each $x\in M$. If you apply the Gram-Schmidt process to this you will get $n$ smooth sections that are orthonormal at each point $x\in M$. This gives an isometry with the trivial bundle with the standard inner product.

The family of a Shropshire man who died in police custody showing signs of a rare medical phenomenon known as "excited delirium" warned more people could die being detained unless more is known about the condition. Jason Pearce, of St Georges, Telford, suffered a fatal heart attack in Sambrook Crescent, Market Drayton, on June 5 last year after being arrested and restrained by two police officers.
His family today issued a statement calling on the authorities to do more to prevent further lives being lost and said they believed more could have been done to save Mr Pearce's life.
Excited delirium has been cited as a possible cause of death in a number of cases from around the world in which people have suddenly died, often while in police custody.
Jason Pearce's uncle Dennis Pearce, of Wellington, said: "On behalf of the family, I wish to make the following statement following the inquest into the tragic death of Jason Pearce on June 5 2010.
"We fully recognise that drug toxicity played a key role in Jason's death and we understand and acknowledge that Jason chose to take drugs on that fateful day when he arrived in Market Drayton. As a family we have never attempted to defend such action as people must take responsibility for their actions in life".

67 protesters arrested for demonstration at New Hampshire coal power plant
WMUR(BOW, N.H.) — Scores of climate change protesters were arrested outside a coal power plant in New Hampshire on Saturday as they staged a demonstration calling for the facility to be shut down.
About 120 people gathered outside Merrimack Station in Bow, New Hampshire, on Saturday afternoon, with 67 people being arrested, according to the Bow Police Department.
The protesters were charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor, according to police. There were no injuries or any damage to property, authorities said.
"The Town of Bow would like to thank our local, county, regional and state partners for their assistance in ensuring that safety remained the top priority for our community, and all those who gathered at the Merrimack Station," Bow Police Chief Margaret Lougee said in a statement.
"There's a coalition of a lot of different organizations that are here today to shut down this power plant," Sam Tardiff, of 350 New Hampshire Action and the New Hampshire Youth Movement, who staged the protest, told Manchester ABC affiliate WMUR. "The time has come. It's 2019. We shouldn't be burning coal anymore."
Merrimack Station is owned by Granite Shore Power and is one of five stations managed by the company.
"We respect and support the right of any person to express his or her views," Granite Shore Power said in a statement to WMUR. "Unfortunately, today's protest and trespassing was more about making a scene and breaking the law than about conveying an informed point of view."
The protest comes on the heels of the United Nations' Climate Action Summit on Sept. 23 during the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York.
The summit was highlighted by the attendance of Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old climate activist from Sweden, who has been holding weekly strikes to call attention to the issue of climate change. She spoke in front of the U.N. and called out world leaders, saying, "People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth."
Her strike on Friday coincided with large marches all around the world.
President Donald Trump has been a vocal supporter of coal power, even though coal-fired power plants are the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. power sector, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.
He touted the coal industry during a speech in Monaca, Pennsylvania, last month, saying, "The last administration tried to shut down Pennsylvania coal and Pennsylvania fracking. If they got in, your fracking is gone. Your coal is gone. You guys, I don't know what the hell you're going to do. You don't want to make widgets, right?"

Geissberger Farmhouse Cider has been producing sweet apple cider since 1970. In 2012 we did a total equipment upgrade from a stationary cider mill to Ontario's first (and still only) Mobile Apple Cider Mill.
All of the apple cider is made from apples from the Region of Durham and not from concentrate. We also work closely with Durham Health Dept., Ministry of Agriculture and Canadian Food and Inspection Agency to produce a healthy and safe cider.
Our farm is located just east of Oshawa on Langmaid Road, Clarington, just north of Taunton Road.
Directions are under Contact Us section.
A bit of history in every apple.
The cider mill started with our Grandfather, dairy farmer, Hans Geissberger that immigrated from Switzerland with his wife Emma in 1925. The cider mill is still located on a section of their farm. After 40 years there are some interesting stories to tell. Although our Dad and Grandparents are not with us anymore the tradition lives on.

How many grandchildren? What are their ages? I have 11 grandchildren ages 19, 18, 17 (2), 15, 13, 11, 7, 3, 2, and 1.
Any great grandchildren? No and I hope I won't be for a while. I want my grandchildren to grow up before they begin to raise children.
Other than the initial elation, what was your first concern upon hearing you would be a grandmother? Because I lived across the state from my children, I was concerned that I would not be able to help them. It was an unfounded worry...they knew exactly what to do without me. They are all wonderful parents. After we retired, we moved to the city where they live.
How often do you get to see your grandchildren? In the summers I see grandchildren almost daily. In the winter once every 3 months. This is a wonderful arrangement for my family. We love to be close but, as with any relationship, distance makes the heart grow fonder.
What is the best thing about being a grandma? I was surprised at the initial reaction to being a grandparent helping in those first few days with the newborn baby. It was almost a primal, tribal kind of feeling. I loved that baby more than you could ever know but I found the greatest joy in putting the baby in my children's arms and watching them become a complete bonded family. The grandmother's place in the family became very clear right at the outset. It was perfect.
What is the most challenging part of being a grandma? Keeping my mouth shut??? Really, I was not a perfect parent. So when I see my children doing things I know are not perfect but will do no harm I am quiet. I save my comments for safety issues and answers to their questions. I am older and I have seen too much so I could be a huge black cloud...I really do not want to do that. It is a challenge to say the least.
Describe a recent time that one (or more) of your grandchildren made you laugh out loud. My granddaughter (13) went through a "privacy" phase recently and did not want her mother and I to talk about her when she was out of the room. Still that girl was so funny. She came up with the idea of putting the ear buds for her ipod in her nostrils...her throat turned into a speaker for the ipod when she opened her mouth. She thought it was fun and we laughed. As she left the house to visit her friends her last words were "Don't talk about me while I'm gone!" Well, I ask you, how could we stop talking about her!
What is your favorite thing to do with grandchildren who visit your house? The little ones love grandma's toy box. Because they are little, they only want us to watch them play. The older the children are, the more we talk and play games. An old game of Bonkers is their favorite. I also let them use my computer to do crossword puzzles and draw pictures. We have a small park less than a block away and we go there to play or walk together. But of all the things we do, my favorite is to make cookies or macaroni & cheese (macky cheese my grandson calls it). Then of course I just hug the stuffings out of them...it is a running joke with them all! When the boys were little and in trouble, I would tell they had better be good or I was going to kiss them all over their faces. They would laugh and straighten up!
What is your favorite thing to do when visiting grandchildren at their house? (Clean???) I cared for two of my grandchildren for several summers. I cooked their lunch and breakfast, allowed them to play at home and watched them at bicycle activities and sports events. Children are in daycare a great deal of the time and "just being at home" is a great treat for all of them.
How do you maintain the bond between yourself and your grandchildren between visits? We have been using Skype for several years. We can visit with the family for an extended period of time, see the look in their faces and we actually even hug the computer. Once in a while I catch a grandchild alone and we will visit early in the morning or in the evening. My husband and I get a lot of comfort from these connections. The grandchildren really don't even think of us as being "away". Skype is a grandparents' miracle I think.
What do you most want to pass along to your grandchildren? One of my grandchildren once told me I was a world traveler...I did not think they had even noticed. Since then I have come to realize that they know we are travelers, well educated and always with them no matter what. I want to pass that sense of family accomplishments along to them. Discussions at our table when they visit, include the children and we can talk about a variety of subject with ease. Hopefully, they will take those experiences with them into a family of their own.
What is one word you hope your grandkids think of when they think of you? I Love you!...the end of every conversation.
What is one thing you wish you had learned earlier as a grandparent? I think all grandparents wish to be wiser! But then experience is the best teacher and we don't get any redoes. Sigh!
What one bit of advice would you give a new grandma? Please, please don't be judgmental. I have hear so many grandmother tell a story about giving a daughter-in-law their favorite _____fill in the blank________ and then be outraged when they didn't see it being used. If you quarrel with your children or in-law children, you will be the loser. Being close to your grandchildren requires that you step back and become supportive.
Does Barbara have a website or blog? Of course! She says, "I write a blog called Retire in Style Blog for retirees. I also write a blog called It Crossed My Mind Blog where I write stories and musings."

Call to accelerate spending of $ 300 billion on projects

The Minister of Energy cites an advantage for the economy

Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow is urging authorities to step up capital spending by 300 billion baht to help restore the economy ravaged by the pandemic.
Budget allocation is planned for the period 2021 to 2026 to support energy projects, ranging from upstream and downstream oil and gas operations to petrochemical and power generation companies, in the public and private sectors.
Among the most important projects is the development of renewable energies, which is now part of the government's program to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Carbon neutrality refers to a balance between emissions and absorption of carbon dioxide, aimed at slowing global warming.
The government also plans to spend money to develop electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and modernize the power grid.
"Incentive packages to promote electric vehicles are expected to be launched next year," Supattanapong said.
So far, the government has spent nearly 97 billion baht during the lockdown periods this year to support subsidy programs aimed at lowering the cost of living for people.
These include the granting of discounts on electricity bills and price caps for diesel as well as the prices of cooking gas and compressed natural gas.
In the future, the government will focus more on the development of clean energies in order to achieve the objective of carbon neutrality.
In Thailand, carbon dioxide emissions are expected to rise to an all-time high in 2030 and then fall, Supattanapong said.
Officials will continue with the "Energy for All" renewable energy program, which encourages communities and businesses to jointly invest in power generation facilities that use biomass and biogas as fuels.
Energy for All is expected to have a total capacity of 400 megawatts within 10 years.
The first auction round organized for Energy for All projects, with a total capacity of 150 MW, was held in September 2021.
The development of renewable energies is part of the 2022 national energy plan, currently under development and expected to be finalized next year.
The plan will set direction for power generation, oil and gas production, and energy management.
Kulit Sombatsiri, permanent secretary of energy, said the government will also spend money to develop new petrochemical industries that will depend not only on oil and gas, but also on agricultural products over the next three decades.

This year I collected 5 cases of organic fava beans, tender and sweet.
My Mum helped me to peel them, I will freeze a part of them, to eat them in autumn, I cook them with fresh onion, extra virgin olive oil, and salt, two quails of water to keep them soft during cooking, at the end of cooking add fresh eggs,( I recommend organic), even when the eggs are cooked the dish is ready to eat with good bread, naturally leavened.
The second part of Fava beans I keep them in glass jar, in virgin olive oil, after having cooked 3 minutes in half vinegar and half white wine, salt and rosemary.

Silicon Valley Rising Fights To Give Part-Timers "Opportunity to Work"
by Dave Johnson | Jan 25, 2016 | Blog, Jobs and Growth
A grassroots/labor/faith/community coalition called Silicon Valley Rising on Monday went to the San Jose, Calif. City Clerk's office to submit the "Opportunity to Work" ballot initiative.
The purpose of the initiative is to require employers to offer qualified part-time employees the opportunity to work additional hours before hiring new part-time or temporary employees.
The Problem: Too Much Part-Time Work
Currently one way (of so many ways) employers nationwide take advantage of their workforce is by limiting the hours they can work in order to avoid providing any benefits that might accrue to full-time employees. Instead of upgrading employees to full-time status when they need more work done, they hire additional part-time or temporary workers. The result is that people have to take on multiple jobs just to (barely) get by. The "Opportunity to Work Initiative" is the first such initiative in the country to limit this abusive practice by requiring employers to expand the hours of their current workforce before hiring new people.
Ben Field, Executive Officer of the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council said at the event, "A number of employers avoid providing health care and other benefits by hiring new part-time workers instead of giving more hours to current part-time employees. It's unfair."
Poncho Guevara, Executive Director of Sacred Heart Community Service explained, "We are seeing so many parents working hard, willing to do whatever they can to support their families, but most part-time workers are unable to cover their most basic needs, such as food and rent. When part-time workers are denied hours, they are pushed further into poverty, making it impossible for them to support their families without the safety net we provide. They want to work. The 'Opportunity to Work Initiative' would help many of the families that we serve by giving them the chance to work more hours and hopefully achieve economic stability."
Fr. Jon Pedigo, Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish and member of the Silicon Valley Rising coalition said, "Every day I see how my parishioners struggle to make ends meet because they do not have access to sufficient work hours. This initiative would help these workers support their families by getting enough hours so that their paychecks cover their bills and they can put food on the table."
Sara Delete, a fast food employee said, "Despite the fact that I work three part-time jobs, I struggle to make ends meet. Every week the number of hours I get changes, so I am never sure what my paycheck will be. Not having access to more work hours means that I am constantly worried about being able to provide for my son, cover my rent and pay the bills."
Chava Bustamante, Executive Director of Latinos United for a New America said, "The majority of individuals working part-time jobs are people of color. As such, they are disproportionately impacted by the lack of hours, low wages and non-existent benefits."
Silicon Valley's Brand Of Inequality
Even though many Silicon Valley companies make enormous profits one in three Silicon Valley households don't make enough money to even meet their most basic needs.
Companies everywhere use all kinds of schemes to keep "labor costs" low. One way the wages of lower-skilled workers are kept low is through maintaining intentionally high un- and under-employment levels. Public investment in infrastructure and other job-creating areas is reduced, limiting job availability. Teachers, police, health care, child care and other employees and services are cut back. The result is a surplus "reserve army" of hungry people who can be exploited and set against each other in competition for any private-sector jobs that do exist.
In Silicon Valley there is particular demand for workers skilled in such fields as engineering and programming, so tech employers engage in various schemes to keep tech-specialist pay lower than it should be. One scheme is the use of H1-B visas for bringing in workers from other countries. Higher-paid and older American-born tech workers are laid off or their pay is reduced as these workers are brought in at lower pay rates.
Sometimes the tech companies engage in more direct wage suppression. A number of Silicon Valley companies were caught engaging in a conspiracy that worked in a way similar to price-fixing, except it was pay-fixing. The companies made private, illegal deals between each other to limit the pay of their employees by agreeing not to recruit or hire people already at one of the other companies. This kept down competition for these employees, which limited their pay.
Of course the higher-skilled tech workers are not left in poverty and/or struggling to get by, as the (often people of color) lower-skilled workers are. But it is part of the same "rigged" system where the government, "captured" by wealthy interests, not only does not step in with investment that would correct abuses, it is forced to cut back on spending on the very things – such as antidiscrimination, antitrust and other enforcement – that would make a difference in wages, as well as public services to help people affected by the resulting inequality.
The "Google Bus" Effect Of Tax-Dodging On Communities
The use of these and other schemes drive up profits, which the companies then move out of the country to tax havens using various schemes. This defunds government's ability to provide regulatory enforcement, badly needed public services, and other things that would help fight the inequality that is hurting so many people.
One example of the effect of this government defunding is Silicon Valley's poor transportation system. There is minimal investment in public transportation options. The rail, road and other infrastructure is poorly maintained and overwhelmed. Meanwhile the wealthy tech companies provide their employees with a private transportation system. Modern, usually white buses known generically as "Google buses" (though companies like Facebook, Genentech, Apple and others have their own fleets as well) take employees from home to work to areas with popular restaurants, etc. while the rest of the people are stuck in traffic jams, squeeze into already-filled trains on their limited routes or wait for the few public buses that operate.
Silicon Valley Rising's website states: "Silicon Valley Rising is taking on occupational segregation and severe income inequality with a comprehensive campaign to raise wages, create affordable housing and build a tech economy that works for everyone."
What is the purpose of our government and economy – to serve a few already-wealthy people and their corporations or to serve We the People? If passed, Silicon Valley Rising's "Opportunity to Work Initiative" would help hard-working families by helping providing the work hours they need to get by.
The initiative requires 20,000 signatures to make it onto the November ballot.

'A Mass Invasion of Privacy' but No Penalties for Tim Hortons
Source: www.nytimes.com : 2022-06-11 10:00:02 : Ian Austen
One way to figure out how deeply Tim Hortons is woven into Canada's fabric is a cross-border comparison. If McDonald's, perhaps its closest analogue in the United States, wanted to have the same per capita reach in that market as Tim Hortons boasts in Canada, it would have to roughly triple its 13,000-plus American outlets.
Despite being foreign owned since 2014, Tim Hortons still waves the Canadian flag as vigorously as it can. But last week, a scathing report by the federal privacy commissioner and three of his provincial counterparts laid out in great detail how Tim Hortons ignored a wide array of laws to spy on Canadians, creating "a mass invasion of Canadians' privacy."
"As a society, we would not accept it if the government wanted to track our movements every few minutes of every day," the federal privacy commissioner, Daniel Therrien, said in his last official news conference. "It is equally unacceptable that private companies think so little of our privacy and freedom that they can initiate these activities without giving it more than a moment's thought."
The vector for Tim Hortons' large-scale snooping, according to the report, was its mobile phone app, which was downloaded 10 million times in the three years following its introduction in 2017. At first, the app had typical retail functions involving payment, loyalty points and placing orders.
But the privacy commissioners found that in 2019, Tim Hortons slipped in a new feature. With the help of Radar, a geolocation software company based in the United States, it turned the GPS systems in customers' phones into a corporate snooping tool. Many apps, of course, ask users for permission to access their phones' GPS while they're actively using the apps for potentially useful features like locating the nearest outlet of a store, bank or restaurant.
The Tim Hortons app, however, went far beyond that, tracking users around the clock anywhere in the world — even when the app was closed. It recorded not only their geographic location, but whether that location was a house, factory or office and even, in many cases, the name of the building they were in. It even, according to the report, recorded whether they were popping into rival coffee shops. The continuous tracking took place despite users being told that they would only be tracked while using the app.
Originally, the report found, Tim Hortons intended that the system would track individuals to send them specific promotions, like coupons for a Tim Hortons stand if they were, say, at an arena for a hockey game. It dropped that plan to monitor individuals but did use the data, in an aggregated form, to look for patterns and changes in where and when Canadians picked up their double-doubles.
The report goes on to detail a wide range of other deficiencies, like inadequate protection of the data the app was harvesting, and deceptions in privacy statements.
The tracking system was only shut down in June 2020 after the joint privacy investigation began. It was prompted by an article in The National Post by James McLeod, who discovered that the app was constantly documenting his whereabouts, even when he was overseas on vacation.
When the report was released, Mr. Therrien and the other privacy commissioners made it clear that Tim Hortons had breached the privacy of Canadians to an extraordinary extent.
"Geolocation data is incredibly sensitive because it paints such a detailed and revealing picture of our lives," he said, adding that "the risks related to the collection and use of location information remain high, even when 'de-identified,' as it can often be re-identified with relative ease."
While there are some class actions against Tim Hortons underway, the company has not been fined or penalized under federal or provincial privacy laws.
The app remains available for download on both iPhones and Android phones. (I asked Apple and Google if the tracking software violated their app store policies or if they had taken any action against Tim Hortons. Neither company got back to me.)
In an email, Tim Hortons said that it began its own privacy review in 2020 and is implementing all of the recommendations in the privacy commission's report.
"We've strengthened our internal team that's dedicated to enhancing best practices when it comes to privacy and we're continuing to focus on ensuring that guests can make informed decisions about their data when using our app," the company said.
Mr. Therrien and outside experts have long argued that Canada's privacy laws, or its system for enforcing them, are in need of substantial revision. It took a journalist to discover what Tim Hortons was doing, the official investigation dragged on for nearly two years and, ultimately, there were no penalties. Only Quebec's privacy office currently has the power to impose fines, but the maximum penalty it could have imposed on Tim Hortons, whose corporate parent had sales of $2 billion in 2020, is 10,000 Canadian dollars.
"The laws have no teeth," Jill Clayton, the information and privacy commissioner for Alberta, told the news conference.
Mr. Therrien said that the Tim Hortons case is not an isolated example — it's just the one that was exposed.
"It is clear that what happened in Tim Hortons is also happening elsewhere in the collection-of-information ecosystem," he said. "Are there sufficient safeguards? Clearly not."

The maintenance of the dossiers will start in 2018.
The identified uses of the iridium substances registered by the EPMF have been covered in Exposure Scenarios (ES) when needed. These Exposure Scenarios are not only a requirement for the REACH registration dossiers but must also be communicated down the supply chain to downstream users (DU) via the Extended Safety Data Sheets (eSDS).
This section of the website has been developed to assist in the communication along the supply chain. It provides to all EPMF members but also downstream users and potential new co-registrants with the most recent list of identified uses and versions of existing DU ES extracted from the chemical safety reports (CSR) of iridium and iridium compounds covered by the EPMF.

There are many potential gases that may be present in your home. Natural gas, radon, and gases and vapors that come from household furnishings, carpeting, flooring and paints. But none of these gases are as dangerous as carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is scary and may even be a matter of life and death, so it should not be treated lightly. What is extremely concerning is that it is hard to detect because it is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and initially non-irritating. A by-product of burnt fuel, carbon monoxide can manuveur its way into your home when the heat exchanger on a gas furnace cracks, allowing carbon monoxide to leak. Depending on the size of the leak and the circulation in a home, carbon monoxide can lead to death very quickly, or it could cause symptoms that have been misdiagnosed as the flu, viral infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome, among other things.
If you don't have a carbon monoxide detector in your home, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Charlotte to purchase one. Ask our technicians about affordable WiFi carbon monoxide detectors like the Nest Protect.
If you have a carbon monoxide detector, be sure to regularly check or replace the batteries. Testing should be done every 90 days, and the detector should be replaced every 3 to 5 years.
If you hear the carbon monoxide detector alarm go off, or experience flu-like or other symptoms described above, ask your doctor to test for carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide doesn't have to be scary and with the proper steps your family can be protected from the hazardous gas. Our experts can provide more information, so go ahead and call Service Experts in Charlotte at 704-464-4307 to learn more.

Governor Cuomo Announces Action To Protect New Yorkers From Unfairly Discriminatory Auto Insurance Rates
Local News, Business & Finance
By Long Island News & PR Published: May 16 2017
Proposed DFS Regulation Prohibits Educational Level or Occupational Status as Factors in Setting Auto Insurance Premiums.

Albany, NY - May 16, 2017 - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a proposed regulation to protect New Yorkers from excessive and unfairly discriminatory auto insurance rates. Following an extensive investigation, the Department of Financial Services regulation prohibits insurers from using an individual's occupational status or educational level as factors in setting rates, unless the insurer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Financial Services that the use of these factors does not result in rates that are unfairly discriminatory.
"This new protection cracks down on this unfair practice that soaks drivers for not having a college degree or a high-paying job," Governor Cuomo said. "These metrics are discriminatory, have no relationship to how good a driver you are and should not be used as an excuse to overcharge New Yorkers."
The use of education and occupation in determining insurance rates can penalize drivers without college degrees or who work in low-wage jobs or industries. The result is that drivers with higher education and income pay less for auto insurance with no evidence that they are better drivers. DFS's multi-year investigation revealed that education and occupation were used without a clear demonstration of the required relationship between these factors and driving ability.
Financial Services Superintendent Maria T. Vullo said, "Under this proposed regulation, auto insurers cannot use educational and occupational status in their insurance underwriting, unless they can clearly demonstrate a plausible relationship to the risk of loss. Requiring insurers to openly justify the use of education and occupation data in setting rates will ensure that New Yorkers are not being charged higher rates due to factors outside their control as drivers."
The DFS investigation revealed that some, but not all, insurers in New York use an individual's education level and/or educational status in establishing initial tier placement. As a result, classes of insureds have been placed in less favorably rated tiers, which may lead to higher premiums, without sufficient actuarial support that an individual's education level and/or occupational status related to his or her driving ability or habits in such a way that the insurer would have a different risk of loss.
The proposed regulation prohibits an insurer from using drivers' occupational status or education level as a factor in initial tier placement, unless the insurer demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Financial Services, that its use of occupational status or educational level attained in initial tier placement or tier movement does not result in a rate that violates Insurance Law provisions ensuring the public welfare by regulating insurance rates so they are not excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory.
The proposed regulation, which is subject to a 45-day notice and public comment period following the May 17, 2017 publication in the New York State register, provides 180 days for insurers that had been using education level and occupational status in initial tier placement and tier movement to amend their multi-tier rating programs and tier movement.

Q: Debian live is not recognizing my ssd I originally tried posting this on the Debian forums, with no luck; the forum kept asking me to sign in again whenever I pressed 'post'.
My computer has not been working for the past few days. For a while, I was happily running Debian with not a single complaint until my system randomly froze and shut down. When I tried powering it back on, it told me that there was no bootable drive. Here's what I've tried so far:

*

*I tried the easiest option, resetting UEFI to defaults. No luck.

*Apparently, leaving the UEFI config open for 15 minutes makes it reset the GPT to the backup in case of corruption. This did not resolve the issue.

*I tried to reinstall, using the same image I had originally used. Neither Calameres nor the KDE partitioner recognised my SSD.

*I bought a new SSD. The above issue still occurred. This confirmed that there was no problem with my old disk.

*My friend put my new SSD into his laptop. He was able to format it on Windows. It still didn't work on my computer.

*I checked in the UEFI and somehow it did actually recognize my disk.

*I took it to one of those dubious repair shops. They were able to put their Windows disk in and it worked. (They and my relations kept insisting that I installed Windows, which I certainly don't want to do.)

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5, and the SSD is an NVMe.
Could anyone shed some light as to how this could have happened in the first place, and why the installer is not recognizing my disk?
I'm sorry if this is really off topic for ULSE, but at this point I'll try anything to get it working :(

A: Okay, I've cracked it... Theoretically, at least. While trying to resolve the (genuine) issues with the last SSD, I tried resetting the UEFI to defaults, which set the SATA back to RST with Optane. This, according to the internet, does not play well with GNU/Linux. Unfortunately, I can't find the setting in the UEFI config... Even pressing  in the Main tab (which according to Acer should reveal the option in Insyde 5.0, which I have) does not reveal it. But that's not a topic for ULSE, so I'll mark this as the answer.

Type: 71,950 SF Renovation of Old Hederman Bros. Building; $8,163,891 Prime Contract at completion.
During the demolition phase of this project, it was discovered the exterior walls had extensive damage caused by water intrusion resulting in damage that had occurred over an extended period of time. This damage required the added scope of work to demolish the exterior two-story walls back to the building structural steel frame, framing of new exterior walls, Installation of new gypsum board sheathing, weather/waterproofing and a new brick veneer exterior.
Demolition of the interior metal wall framing revealed existing first and second floor slabs were severely out of level and exposed 1"-2" of deep depressions where floor patch had been used to attempt floor leveling one room at a time, leaving height variances from one side of the wall to the other. This condition required light weight concrete be poured over the entire second floor and one third of the first floor prior to layout and framing of new walls.
During the course of this project there were many changes in Scope to accommodate the Owner's needs including the addition of an extensive building technology package with upgrades to the building audio video systems, multiple conference room scheduling monitors, segmented access control and an added parking canopy structure complete with lighting, fire sprinklers and faux boxwood roof cover. Also, there were significant changes made to the Entry and focal point "Water Fountain" feature. The Owner requested changes be made to increase the fountain size and a variety of added fountain functions leading to an increase in both cost and added time for fountain delivery.
Thrash worked through all of these unforeseeable conditions and owner required changes during construction and assisted the Owner and Architect in resolving all the different needs.

Enjoyment 4
I think most of the anime watching community has learned to generally expect two things from KyoAni:
1. There will be moe
2. The story and plot will either be subpar or shit.
I want to say that it's nice Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! got a second season, I really do. The first season of Chuunibyou was decent; it had a little bit of eight-grade syndrome, a little bit of romance, obligatory KyoAni moe, and a bit of slice of life. Characters actually felt like they made progress and it was a fairly enjoyable watch overall. I can't say the same about the second season.
I'd like to discuss the story, but I'm afraid there is really nothing to talk about. There is no story. There is no plot. Asking for either of these from this sequel is like asking a rock to win a race, and no, this isn't Spongebob. I made a mistake by hoping there would be some kind of turn around and something interesting might happen during the second season, like the ending of the first season. The so called 'romance' between Yuuta and Rikka, which was the whole driving force behind this sequel, is severely lacking. Yuuta seems more like Rikka's father than boyfriend and that's just pathetic. The attempt at a love triangle is not only badly paced, but also feels extremely forced. Basically, if you watched this sequel, or plan to, you most likely didn't come for the story. At least, I sure hope not.
Assuming you've seen the first season of Chuunibyou, you have a general handle of what the characters are like. There's not much change other than the introduction of Shichimiya, Yuuta's old chuuni buddy. The character development is stagnant and most of the series is about Rikka getting romantically flustered. But hey, remember that one character Ishikki? Yuuta's friend, the bro-tier dude of season one? Yes, the guy who gets his head shaved. Guess what? The series takes a massive diarrhea dump on him. The sequel throws him in at random times and tries to garner some cheap laughs at the expense of his already unfortunate life. I couldn't even laugh at instances aimed to be funny gag moments. If I felt anything, it was sadness and pity.
The only saving grace that Chuunibyou Ren! has is that I find KyoAni's animations to be good. The art and animation are consistent and I believe that's one thing that the studio does right. Sound is decent, but I didn't find the OP or ED to be anything noteworthy.
Sequels for anime can be a blessing when done correctly. Sequels can also tarnish whatever good the first season had accomplished. The latter is what happened here. There's nothing more frustrating to watch the second season of an anime only to be disappointed by the steep drop in quality. This sequel felt like KyoAni put little to no effort into it besides giving the audience the finger while trying to reach into your wallet. Unless you have time to waste, and I mean a lot of fucking time, I'd say watch something other than this.

The land around here has never been cultivated.
From Medieval Latin cultivātus, perfect passive participle of cultivō ("till, cultivate"), from cultīvus ("tilled"), from Latin cultus, perfect passive participle of colō ("till, cultivate"), which comes from earlier *quelō, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- ("to move; to turn (around)"). Cognates include Ancient Greek πέλω (pélō) and Sanskrit चरति (cárati). The same Proto-Indo-European root also gave Latin in-quil-īnus ("inhabitant") and anculus ("servant").
