Audit finds N.C. fails to release DWI data
Sep 26, 2013 at 12:01 AM Sep 26, 2013 at 8:51 AM
CHARLOTTE � A state audit shows North Carolina has failed to properly release information on cases of those accused of driving while impaired.
A 2006 law requires that court administrators make detailed information about DWI cases available on its website. The new report says the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts has not made much of the information available.
The administrative office said it would take another $25 million to make all the information available. The agency said its budget has been reduced from $45 million in 2011 to $29 million in 2013.
The audit says the agency has failed to provide information on how cases are handled by each county, judge, prosecutor and defense attorney.
"The public's ability to evaluate court performance and determine if state DWI laws have been applied equitably is limited," the audit states.
The audit also says the agency fails to look for unusually high rates of case dismissals.
Former House Speaker Joe Hackney says he thinks the problem can be blamed on state budget cuts.
"I know the funding has been slashed in ways that have been very damaging to the court system," Hackney said. "We should get the courts fully funded again."

Why Led Zeppelin's John Bonham Didn't Worry About Drumming Technique
Eric Schaal
When legendary engineer Eddie Kramer was asked about getting John Bonham's drums to sound so great on Led Zeppelin records, Kramer didn't claim much of the credit. Instead, he pointed to how Zep's drummer tuned his kit and the way Bonzo attacked the equipment.
That might sound simple enough, but it came after Bonham worked for years to get it right. In the beginning, his raw power often overwhelmed his kits. "I was always breaking drum heads when I started playing," he recalled in an interview from Led Zeppelin in Their Own Words. "Later on I learned how to play louder, but without hitting the drums so hard."
For Bonham, that was a key element of what you might call his technique. As for pulling off the more technically daunting feats of drumming, he didn't worry about that aspect of his job. Bonham's goal was to get the right feeling on record, as he did for classic tracks like "When the Levee Breaks."
John Bonham prized feeling above 'triple paradiddles' and such while drumming for Led Zeppelin

While Bonham usually gets the nod as rock's greatest drummer, few place him at the top of the pack in terms of technique. (The late Neil Peart of Rush is a popular pick in that department.) But that wouldn't have bothered Bonham in the slightest.
"I think that feeling is a lot more important in drumming than mere technique," Bonham said in Led Zeppelin in Their Own Words. "It's all very well to be playing a triple paradiddle, but who's going to know you're actually doing it?"
Bonham equated learning technique to learning the canon, and he warned against taking that approach. "If you pay too much attention to technique, you start to sound like every other drummer does," he said. "I think that being original is what counts."
Still, Bonham was happy to talk about his influences. While getting his start, Bonham paid close attention to early soul records. "I liked the feel and the sound," he recalled. "And I said to myself, 'I suppose I'll get that sound, too.'" From there, he worked on adding his feeling to get an original sound.
Bonham said the Zeppelin magic involved recording minimal takes to capture the band's energy

From their first tour across America, Led Zeppelin established itself as a force on the stage. The band members loved feeding off the energy and musical abilities of one another, and their live performances quickly became must-see events.
Bonham was a big part of that. "I really like to yell out when I'm playing," he said in another interview from Led Zeppelin in Their Own Words. "I yell like a bear to give it a boost. I like our act to be like a thunderstorm." Those saw Led Zeppelin in their prime tend to agree with that interpretation.
For Bonham, bringing that energy into the studio was just as important. He spoke about keeping the number of takes down on Zep tracks. "Getting the instrumental track down as soon as possible enable you to retain the immediacy and the energy," he said. "Otherwise, you're in the studio for a few hours, […] and you find the track starts to sound uninteresting."

{Spotlight} A SEASON WITHOUT RAIN by Joe Schwartz
Jacob Miller is angry with himself, the world, and God. Life seems so unfair, so cruel, that he can't imagine why anyone even tries. After having a nervous breakdown, selling his business, filing for bankruptcy, having a baby, and finding out he owes over twenty grand in taxes, he is hardly happy to be alive.
In the span of a year, Jacob will discover three very important things about life. Things can always be worse. There really is a God. And if you wait long enough anything can change.
A Season Without Rain explores that gray area between poverty and middle class life, the struggling underclass for whom there are no advocates. A powerful story told in a modern, everyday voice that will entrench readers in Jacob Miller's black world of anger, hate, resentment, lies, and violence.
A Season Without Rain is Joe Schwartz's first novel. His previous short story collections Joe's Black T-Shirt, The Games Men Play, and The Veiled Prophet of St. Louis have been acclaimed vulgar as Bukowski and visceral as Carver. Joe lives and works in St. Louis happily writing stories exclusively about the Gateway City.
Joe Schwartz is shining a spotlight on the Midwest with stories that are nothing less than remarkable. His dark, gritty, visceral transgressive style is like a sharp punch to the gut, always leaving the reader breathless and wanting more. His previous collections, Joe's Black T-Shirt: Short Stories About St. Louis and The Games Men Play, have captivated short story enthusiasts. With his original voice, each story strives to be different from the last, constantly examining the world through the eyes of malcontents, degenerates, sadists, and the disaffected. The Veiled Prophet of St. Louis exposes itself through the ancient art of divinity called Tarot. As the playing cards are dealt the stories reveal the horror and the glory that is commonly overlooked and dismissed as ordinary life.
Joe Schwartz is a writer following in the footsteps of Dashiell Hammett, Donald Goines, and Chuck Palahniuk. In 'The Games Men Play' he has combined twenty-one short stories that will take the reader on a haunting journey through the darkest St. Louis streets to its most rural counties. A terrific, fast paced storytelling style that never wastes a word, his work constantly entertains and demands to be read.

Why it is crucial to retain an experienced employment attorney such as Andrew Bosin to assess and explain your legal rights to you?
That's why you need to assess your legal rights immediately upon termination or being presented with a separation agreement. Without an attorney, it will be difficult to fully assess all of the grounds that you may have to challenge post your termination or the severance package you have been offered (or not offered, as the case may be).
The best time to negotiate a severance package, or "separation agreement" is before your target date for leaving the company. Your employer wants you to leave with an executed severance agreement. So it is at this point that the employer is motivated to deal. Once you leave the company or start a new job, it is too late to raise issues that an experienced attorney such as Mr. Bosin would have done if he was retained by you at the outset.
When an employer hands you a severance agreement, you can bet the farm that their attorneys are not concerned about your legal rights. Rather, the agreement is most likely construed in the employer's favor. Likewise, any contract for employment for an executive will have language contained in it that is not favorable for the employee. One of the things Mr. Bosin can negotiate at the beginning of employment is a fair Severance Package. He can also negotiate or ask to be removed provisions such as non-compete agreements or restrictive covenants which also tend to be written in the employer's favor by their counsel.
It is also very typical that employers require in exchange for paying severance that the employee execute a Separation Agreement and General Release. In almost every instance these agreements include restrictive covenants and non-compete agreements which serve to restrict and limit the employee's job search and opportunities. Mr. Bosin has litigated many cases involving non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants and can provide guidance and counseling and advise you on how to proceed when faced with such legal decisions.

John Waters to Philip Hoare: "That's whale porn!"
The Sea Inside by Philip Hoare has been called many things. "Beautifully written." "Simultaneously philosophical and engaging." "Evocative." But it took filmmaker John Waters to view it in another, more "Waters" way, and he called it as he saw it. "Whale porn."
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Hoare related how he discovered his love of whales, and then tried to share the experience with Waters:
I tried to describe my encounters to my friend John Waters, the filmmaker, who accused me of being a whale-stalker. When I showed him some of my latest photos, he quipped, "That's just whale porn." Eventually John took me aside and, with an air of patience tempered with pity, said, "Look, you're spending more time with whales than you are with human beings. You've got to do something about it." I think he recommended that I write about the animals as a kind of therapy.
We should all be grateful that Waters intervened and steered Hoare in a literary direction. He's been compared to W.G. Sebald and even Thoreau, and his writing opens up a world that's often hidden from view. The Wall Street Journal, in their review, wrote, "Mr. Hoare's The Sea Inside embraces the dangers and mysteries of the natural world and in them finds transcendental awe…Mr. Hoare's gimlet eye sees the magical in the mundane." With his mastery of language, and his belief that human, literary, and and natural history are indelibly entwined, we are all richer for getting to accompany Hoare on his travels through sea and land, and catch his "good illness." Everybody, listen to Mr. Waters.

Q: Updating text for a badge inside a bootstrap button? With a click event I'm trying to update two pieces of a button:

*

*The button text

*The badge count
Here is my HTML:
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-default like-btn" type="button" id="10">
  Liked
   1
</button>

When calling this jquery code it's returning both pieces of text: (e.g. "Liked 1")
$(document).on("click", ".like-btn", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault ();

        var btnID = $(this).attr('id');
        var likeText = $(this).text();

        console.log("TEXT: " + likeText);

        if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
            // How Do I decrement the count and change the "Liked" text to "Like" ?
        }
        else {
           // How Do I increment the count and change the "Like" text to "Liked" ?
        }
    });

Any thoughts?
Thanks

A: The best thing you can do is to wrap Like/Liked text into one more span and give it a class:
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-default like-btn active" type="button" id="10">

    Liked
    1
</button>

It will simplify code:
$(document).on("click", ".like-btn", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    var $label = $(this).find('.text'),
        $badge = $(this).find('.badge'),
        count = Number($badge.text()),
        active = $(this).hasClass('active');

    $label.text(active ? 'Like' : 'Liked');
    $badge.text(active ? count - 1 : count + 1);
    $(this).toggleClass('active');
});

Demo: http://plnkr.co/edit/QZmEvRJASz8w4hg2pX9E?p=preview

A: No offense, but I'm always surprised to see people with 3000 points of reputation and who still can't select a span with jQuery :)
Run this below :

$(document).on("click", ".like-btn", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault ();

        var $this = $(this), // caching!
            btnID = $this.attr('id'),
            likeText = $this.text(),
            $text = $this.find("span.glyphicon"),
            $counter = $this.find("span.badge"),
            count = parseInt($counter.text());

        if ($this.hasClass('active')) {
            $this.removeClass('active');
            $text.text("Like");
            $counter.text(count-1);
        } else {
            $this.addClass('active');
            $text.text("Liked");
            $counter.text(count+1);
        }
    });

<button class="btn btn-sm btn-default like-btn active" type="button" id="10">
  Liked
   1
</button>

A: I would use a data attribute that contains only the count
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-default like-btn" type="button" id="10">
    1 like
</button>

Then in the JS
$(document).on("click", ".like-btn", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault ();
    var $likes = $(this).find('.likes');
    var like_count = $like_count.data('likes') + 1; // increment by 1
    var like_text = like_count > 1 ? ' likes': ' like';

    $likes.data('like-count', like_count);
    $likes.html(like_count + like_text);

    // Do logic to update likes on the server
});

This fetches the like count, increments it, then sets the text. It's a good idea to separate data from content, so you don't need to pull the data out of the content later.

A: If you put the "like" text in a separate span it becomes a little easier...
Here's an example: http://www.bootply.com/7YD8bspnRB
HTML
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-default like-btn" type="button" id="10">

  Like
  1
</button>

JS
$(document).on("click", ".like-btn", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault ();

    var btnCaption = $(this).find(".btn-caption")
    var badge = $(this).find(".like-badge")
    var count = parseInt(badge.text());

    if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
        btnCaption.text("Like");
        badge.text(count - 1);
        $(this).removeClass('active');
    }
    else {
        btnCaption.text("Liked");
        badge.text(count + 1);
        $(this).addClass('active');
    }
});

The Lisa Loeb zone
ByDave Gordon October 7, 2005
Lisa Loeb Supplied publicity photo
Ask people what comes to mind when you mention Lisa Loeb and, if they're conscious of the pop-music scene, they'll recall her trademark tortoise-shell glasses or her first hit song, "Stay." Ten years ago, the uncomplicated and hummable acoustic guitar-plucked refrain of "Stay" was a song instantly familiar to millions of radio listeners — a refrain that today still unfailingly elicits cheers from concertgoers after the first three notes.
Loeb has had a charmed career. Her bio is the stuff of legend. In late 1993, actor and friend Ethan Hawke asked her to contribute a song for his movie Reality Bites. When director Ben Stiller included "Stay" on the film's soundtrack, Loeb became the first unsigned artist to have a number one single. Since then she has released four albums and hit the charts over the years with the singles "Do You Sleep," "Waiting for Wednesday," and "I Do."
The 37-year-old Dallas-raised chanteuse recently released The Way It Really Is, her fifth disc of solo original material. The disc opens with the catchy, off-beat spree "Window Shopping," which is followed by the retro-flavoured "I Control The Sun," while acoustic numbers such as "Hand-Me-Downs," "Would You Wander" and "Accident" highlight Loeb's earthy folk-rock roots.
Loeb readily confesses that her album is lyrically autobiographical, produced off the heels of a break-up with long-time boyfriend, Dweezil Zappa. "It's about seeing [relationships] how they really are," says Loeb. "You need to appreciate things. If there are things you don't like, deal with them or accept them."
Before releasing The Way It Really Is, Loeb and Zappa hosted a traveling cooking show, Dweezil and Lisa on the Food Network. Appropriately, her last CD was called Cake and Pie.
"Food is a reflection of us emotionally," says Loeb. "For example, when we're on a date, we eat with another person, and judge them by how and what they eat."
On the morning of our interview, Loeb confesses to having a rather complex breakfast: taco with peanut butter and organic fig spread, and a coffee with maple sugar. "My tastes are complicated," admits Loeb.
Currently, Loeb is working on re-releasing older material and shooting some videos for her children's recording, Catch the Moon. She is also working on a TV pilot and is intermittently touring the Americas and Asia. It's a busy schedule and Loeb would have it no other way.
"I always have mixed feelings about how seriously I should take what I do for a living," she says. "I'm not sure. It's something I'll have to talk to my shrink about. I do take it seriously. I work hard at it and I'm offended when people don't take it seriously at all."

Introducing Miu Miu Whispers, a holiday campaign starring Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Julia Garner, Chloë Sevigny and Sadie Sink.
Returning home for the holidays means a unique mix of familiarity and surprises. An unexpected reunion surfaces old memories; unwrapping a gift inspires all new emotions; the prospect of a traditional party offers exciting developments.
What is it about reuniting with friends and family that intensifies each exchange? Overheard whispers are replayed and reinterpreted as inner monologue throughout the night until true meaning is derived: Did she really say that? Could she have meant it? A short film starring Miu Miu muses Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Julia Garner, Chloë Sevigny and Sadie Sink explores the short but furtive conversations that occur in the warm window of holiday parties, wherein dialogue is as ornamented with meaning as the most thoughtful of gifts.
In these edited conversations, more is said than has been communicated between friends all year: among wrapped boxes containing embroidered velvet, crystal embellishments, sparkling charms, and fluffy fur totems, rare face time is spent whispering secrets and exaltations - presents to be held tightly as the new year approaches. Becoming more precious as their original contexts fade away, these moments sparkle atop the beautiful objects with which they were exchanged.


Taiwan's Leon Dai (戴立忍) and his black-and-white social drama No Pudeo Vivir Sin Ti (不能沒有你) swept the 46th Golden Horse Awards (金馬獎) on Saturday night. Dai took home top honors in five categories including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Outstanding Taiwanese Film of the Year.
The last time that the Best Picture award went to a Taiwanese production was seven years ago with Chang Tso-chi's (張作驥) The Best of Times (美麗時光). According to awards and festival executive director Wen Tien-hsiang (聞天祥), the competition in the Best Director category was especially intense this year, with Tsai Ming-liang (蔡明亮) losing to Dai by merely one vote.
"No Pudeo Vivir Sin Ti may not be the most artistically accomplished movie of the year, but it is the type of film the jurors want to encourage ... Since Golden Horse is a competition for Chinese-language productions in Taiwan, the jurors naturally take into consideration the significance of the films in relation to the development of the local film industry when casting their votes," Wen told the Taipei Times.
The success of Dai's film at this year's Golden Horse Awards is one example of changes the Golden Horse Film Festival (台北金馬影展) has made in order to remain competitive with other film festivals and awards ceremonies in the region, such as the Hong Kong Film Awards and Shanghai International Film Festival.
One important change involved modifying the jury system to make it more "logically consistent," Wen said. Previously, the judging process was divided into three stages, with three different groups of judges. Each jury member was assigned to a limited number of award categories. This year each juror judged every award category.
One film that reflected the jurors' distinct taste was KJ: Music and Life (音樂人生), a Hong Kong documentary that won in all categories it was nominated for, including Best Documentary, Best Film Editing and Best Sound Effects. Shot on DigiBeta, it was the first digital film to win a Golden Horse award and the first documentary to beat out its fiction counterparts for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Effects. The Golden Horse Awards were previously only open to movies shot in 35mm film.
In another significant development, the 46-year-old event relaxed eligibility rules for international collaborations, from a "both/and" rule to an "either/or" rule: now, half of the dialogue in a film has to be spoken one or more Chinese dialects, or at least six main crew members, one of whom has to be the director, must be of Chinese origin.
This change reflects the fact that Taiwanese society is becoming increasingly multi-cultural. In the case of Taiwanese director Ho Wi-ding's (何蔚庭) forthcoming feature debut Pinoy Sunday (台北星期天), which chronicles the life of new immigrants in Taipei, the director would previously have had to have made his Southeast Asian actors speak broken Mandarin if he had wanted to submit the film to the Golden Horse Awards.
Orz Boyz (囧男孩) director Yang Ya-che (楊雅吉吉) says that because it is increasingly common for local filmmakers to work with their peers from other Asian countries, this new sense of openness is an advantage for Golden Horse. "It is rather narrow-minded to make a big deal about how many awards go to this or that Chinese or Hong Kong movie each year," Yang said.

 1924 год — по распоряжению Г. К. Орджоникидзе Мирзаханова переводят в Москву на должность Директора-распорядителя Государственного акционерного общества «РудМеталлТорг». Затем работает в Коврове — на должности Заместитель Директора Оружейного завода ИНЗ № 2 (ныне — ЗиД — Завод имени В. А. Дегтярёва).

 1931 год — апрель Илларион Мирзаханов назначается Директором Завода № 8 имени М. И. Калинина в посёлке Калининском (так с 1928 года до 1938 года стали называться Подлипки). Вместе с ним из Коврова приезжает группа специалистов, в том числе Б. И. Каневский. Уже осенью на заводе разворачивается крупное строительство. Возводятся два механосборочных корпуса, а также новые инструментальные и ремонтный цеха, которые сразу оснащаются импортными станками. Мирзаханов занимается благоустройством и самого посёлка Калининский — асфальтируются дороги, высаживаются деревья и декоративные кустарники, разбиваются газоны и цветники.
 1937 год — Мирзаханов, сам талантливый управленец, сумел заметить и выдвинуть огромную плеяду талантливых руководителей различного уровня. Так, в 1937 году на должность главного конструктора он выдвинул талантливого молодого специалиста — Михаила Николаевича Логинова, с появлением которого на руководящей должности — конструкторское бюро завода стало одним из самых сильных в отрасли. Техническим директором Мирзаханов поставил опытного Б. И. Каневского, невзирая на то, что ранее Каневский обвинялся во вредительстве (это обвинение не имело под собой оснований и почти сразу же было снято). Продуманная кадровая политика, проводимая Мирзахановым явилась одним из ключевых факторов расцвета завода в 1930 годы. В то время, когда Илларион Мирзаханов был назначен директором Завода № 8, перед предприятием была поставлена задача создать в кратчайшие сроки орудия с повышенными боевыми эксплуатационными и производственными качествами и вместе с тем — с минимальными затратами сил и материальных средств. Единственным способом была модернизация уже существующих образцов вооружения.
 1932 год — под руководством инженера В. М. Беринга, была создана 45-мм противотанковая пушка с заводским индексом 19-К. Она была получена таким образом: на лафет противотанковой 37-мм пушки 1-К, который имел достаточные резервы прочности, наложили новый 45-мм ствол, что существенно повысило мощность орудия. При Мирзаханове, на основе противотанковой 45-мм пушки образца 1932 года разрабатывается 45-мм танковая пушка 20-К. С 1933 года она запускается в массовое производство в количествах, значительно превышающих задания по всем другим пушкам.
 1934 год — к середине 1930-х годов наряду с танковыми, противотанковыми и наземными зенитными системами, завод перешёл к изготовлению зениток для Военно-Морского Флота — 45-мм тумбовым орудиям 21-К. Их выпуск освоили в 1934 году, и в последующие годы по артсистемам была развёрнута большая работа.
 1936 год — 1937 год — Завод № 8 имени М. И. Калинина уже считался одним из крупнейших артиллерийских предприятий страны. Коллектив, в котором раньше почти не было специалистов с высшим образованием, под руководством Мирзаханова пополнился молодыми кадрами — первыми выпускниками советских ВУЗов. При этом директор завода последовательно приводил в действие свой принцип: в цехах и отделах вместе работали опытные практики и молодые специалисты, пришедшие на завод. Введённая Мирзахановым более совершенная система оплаты труда привела к тому, что в период с 1933 года по 1938 год в два раза выросла производительность труда, и в 7 раз был увеличен выпуск орудий. В 1935 год — 1937 году директор перевёл предприятие на хозрасчёт. Таким образом, заработная плата работников стала напрямую зависеть от доходов всего завода в целом. В соответствием с хозрасчётом Мирзаханов широко применял прогрессивно-премиальную систему, которая усиливала мотивацию рабочих на труд. Заслугой Иллариона Мирзаханова является также введение новаторских подходов к организации работы завода в целом. Он добился того, что ряд крупных механосборочных цехов стал представлять собой как бы самостоятельные производства. К примеру, в цехе, где производились 45-мм пушки, были созданы механическое и сборочное отделения и свой испытательный полигон, что в то время новым в практике производства орудий. Мирзаханов рассчитывал в 1936 году организовать на Заводе № 8 и собственное литейное производство, чтобы не зависеть от предприятий-поставщиков, но эту идею претворить в жизнь не успел. Литейное производство было открыто уже без него и намного позднее.
 1937 году — на заводе в течение двух недель длилось собрание с повесткой дня «О бдительности», на котором Мирзаханова обвинили в приписке партийного стажа, а также в том, что он был женат на бывшей княжне из Нагорного Карабаха. Выступавшие требовали его исключения из партии. Нашлись, впрочем, и те, кто защищал Мирзаханова (в частности начальник цеха П. Н. Горемыкин). Г. К. Орджоникидзе, пытаясь вывести Мирзаханова из-под удара, командировал его в Нижний Новгород (тогда город Горький) на Завод № 92. Часть руководителей, технологов и рабочих выехала туда вместе со своим директором, общей целью была помощь в налаживании производства 76-мм пушек конструкции КБ Завода № 92, которое возглавлял Василий Гаврилович Грабин. Цель была достигнута — командированные специалисты вернулись в посёлок Калининский, а самого Иллариона Мирзаханова перевели на должность директора Приволжского Завода № 92.
 1939 год — в начале года Мирзаханов был утверждён начальником главного управления только что созданного Наркомата вооружения.
 1940 год — 1953 год — являлся заместителем Наркома, а позднее — Замминистра вооружения СССР.
 1941 год — октябрь, Мирзаханов лично (вместе с Начальником Артиллерийского Управления Наркомата Наумом Эммануиловичем Носовским) организовал эвакуацию Завода № 8 на восток страны.

Репрессии

 1951 год — 31 декабря — Постановлением Совета Министров СССР «О недостатках 57-мм автоматических зенитных пушек С-60» Мирзаханов был снят с должности заместителя министра вооружения и отдан под суд. Причиной стала проверка, установившая, что С-60 в течение 1950—1951 годов изготавливались Министерством вооружения и принимались Военным Министерством СССР c рядом конструктивных и производственных недостатков, серьёзно влиявших на «живучесть и боеспособность пушек». Освобождёны от занимаемых постов и были под следствием, кроме Мирзаханова, заместитель Министра обороны Н. Д. Яковлев и начальник ГАУ Военного министерства И. И. Волкотрубенко.

Реабилитация
В 1953 году обвинения с них сняли. Но в отличие от Н. Д. Яковлева и И. И. Волкотрубенко, Мирзаханов к работе не вернулся, выйдя по состоянию здоровья на пенсию.

Смерть
Умер в 1960 году, похоронен в Москве, на Новодевичьем кладбище. Памятник на его могиле изготовлен художником ОКБ-1 Д. В. Шириняном по личному поручению С. П. Королёва.

Семья
Семья его при этом ещё долго продолжала жить в Калининском (с 1938 года — городе Калининграде Московской области), в так называемом «директорском доме» на улице Карла Либкнехта.

Protecting disabled people's right to live independently (Davey v Oxfordshire Council)
A severely disabled man had his care package cut by the local council. It meant that he would lose a team of carers who had been supporting him to live independently for 20 years. We intervened to support his legal challenge that the decision broke equality and human rights laws and breached the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Are British civilians employed by the MoD in Cyprus protected by the Equality Act? (Holloway & Ors v Ministry of Defence)
A group of British civilians working on a military base in Cyprus brought claims of discrimination against the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Before considering their claim, the Employment Tribunal had to decide whether GB equality laws applied to this group of workers. The first Employment Tribunal found that the Equality Act did apply to them. However, the MoD successfully challenged this in the Employment Appeal Tribunal. This meant that the case was remitted to the ET to be reconsidered.
Protecting unaccompanied young asylum seekers whose age is disputed (R (S) v London Borough of Croydon & Anor)
An unaccompanied young person arrived in the UK seeking asylum. He claimed he was under 18. His local council placed him in adult accommodation and refused to provide child-appropriate services until an age assessment had taken place. He challenged their decision, arguing that it breached his human rights.
Establishing time limits for pregnancy discrimination claims (Thompson v Ark Schools)
A woman believed the company she worked for had unlawfully discriminated against her when she was pregnant. However, she did not find out that she could make a legal claim until after the three-month time limit. The Employment Tribunal did not agree to hear her case as she had not made a claim within three months, but the Employment Appeal Tribunal later ruled that the original decision should be retaken by a different Employment Tribunal.
Protecting the religious beliefs of employees (Gan Menachem Hendon Ltd v Miss Zelda De Groen)
Can an employer lawfully treat an employee less favourably, including dismissing them, because of behaviour in their private life which runs contrary to the employer's religion or belief?


The FEAR to LOVE process helps break energetic blockages which keep you stuck from moving forward in every part of your life.
In a session we will first set out the intent – what is it you are seeking to change or shift in your life.
Next, we plug your ego into your heart space. This shifts your consciousness from thinking and reacting from your head into your heart where you are operating from a place of love.
Every day, we share a bit of our energy with those we encounter. We may also at that time share a bit of our soul fragments with them. It is important to call this energy back so that you are working from a standard of completion. I walk you through the process of breaking the energetic ties and reclaiming your soul fragments.
Now we need to find out if this issue is affecting you and blocking you physically, mentally or emotionally. This is done through muscle testing. We also check to see if all of this is yours or if perhaps you have taken on someone else's issues.
The big part of this shift entails breathing. By breathing in different patterns and using different colors with the breathing we will create a shift and break this energetic tie. We show that this is done by rechecking the level you are feeling over the issue at the end. You should be at a 1 or even better a 0!


In recent years the growth rates of world agricultural production and crop yields have slowed with changing climate conditions. This has raised fears that the world may not be able to grow enough food and other commodities to ensure that future populations are adequately fed. To maintain the food supply and sustainable productivity, a key future technology that is Agrigenomics provide enormous benefits for the agricultural community.
Agrigenomics mainly focus on crop and plant genomes to analyse sequences at functional and structural level by providing virtual solutions to on-farm food safety and environmental stewardship. Agrigenome knowledge could then be used to produce stronger, more drought, disease and insect resistant crops and improve the quality of livestock making them healthier, more disease resistant and more productive.
This 1 day training course will focus on the use of efficient technologies of Agrigenomics and Plant informatics which involves in identifying various patterns of structural and functional characteristics of plants. During this course, you will be introduced to AgriGenomics to understand the genetic and molecular basis of all biological processes in plants that are relevant to the species.
Hands-on exercises will be performed individually by each participant using software tools on his/her own laptop. No prior experience is required.
Note: All participants should carry their own laptop. Certificates will be given after completion of the training course.
Scientists and Scholars with basic knowledge in Life Science and Genomics and who would like to receive a comprehensive overview or refresher on the Agri-Genomics.
Academics: Bachelor/Masters Students, PhD Scholars and Faculty from Plant Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Agriculture, Genomics, Botany, Pharmacognosy, Natural Products, Biomedical Technology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Plant Science and Life Sciences.
Professionals: Research Scientists from Agriculture Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics working in Industry and Regulatory Agencies.


We woke up bright and early this morning and packed the rest of our bags. It was day light savings at 2am last night, so we lost an hour of sleep before heading out on our journey for the day. We packed up the car and we were on the road by 11am. We left Bournemouth and headed north.
By now we had pretty much seen all there was to see in Ferndown. Bournemouth is close by so we went there for the day to do some shopping and have some fun.
Take a Hike... Through the Countryside.
When you move to another country there are a lot of different things that need taking care of to get yourself established. Today we ran errands, so this evening we decided to go for a stroll around the Ferndown neighbourhood.
Welcome to the New Forest.
Three Night Stay in Bournemouth.
On March 22, we headed to a hotel in Bournemouth for a 3 night stay with an ocean view.
Since we were on a tight budget, we searched high and low for a budget place to stay. We were told that Travelodge was a clean, budget hotel. We booked it on their website and it was really easy. Check in was very easy, but if you show up before their standard check in time then you have to pay a fee.
Luckily our friends drove us to the hotel so we didn't have to look into public transportation. Although if you were to use public transportation the website is here: http://bournemouth.co.uk/public-transport/ - This link will help you get to Bournemouth, by air, car, train, coach or ferry.
To save money on our flight, we booked it ourselves on Expedia. If you go to Google Flights you can search your destination and it will generate suggestions on days that it's cheaper to fly. We picked March 19th, which was 19 days after we were allowed to move to the UK, simply because it was nearly half the price.
We had a great flight direct from Vancouver to London-Gatwick through Air Transat. We abandoned our plan of sleeping the entire flight once we discovered all of the free movies offered. We watched Horrible Bosses 2, Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 and Gone Girl. After the movies we had a nap and then soon enough we landed in Gatwick Airport. The airport was small and we went through customs fast. Our friends picked us up and we began to regret not sleeping as we struggled to stay awake while talking to our friends in the car.

The papers of John Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), thirtieth president of the United States, consist of approximately 179,000 documents (218,513 images), which have been digitized from 190 reels of previously reproduced microfilm. Held in the Library of Congress Manuscript Division, these papers constitute the largest collection of original Coolidge documents in the world. The collection contains incoming correspondence with attachments, notes, carbon copies of outgoing letters from Coolidge or one of his secretaries, telegraph messages, appointment books, and names and addresses of White House guests.
Although Calvin Coolidge's papers span the years 1915-1932, they date primarily from the five and a half years of his presidency, 1923-1929. Coolidge was vice president when President Warren G. Harding died on August 2, 1923. He was sworn in as president by his father, a justice of the peace, in his family home in Vermont in the early morning hours on August 3.
Coolidge subsequently won the 1924 presidential election, but decided not to run again in 1928. He left office on March 4, 1929, with the inauguration of Herbert Hoover.
Most of the collection consists of incoming correspondence from private citizens and carbon copies of replies. A small quantity of correspondence with political and government officials is also included. Filed in Executive Office numerical case files, the correspondence chronicles the concerns and debates of the 1920s, including agriculture and rural life, business and manufacturing, commerce, immigration, international relations, labor, prohibition, race relations, sanitation and public health, transportation, veterans affairs, and women's rights. Also present in the collection are reception lists for formal White House social events from 1925 to 1927, appointment books dated 1923-1929, and copies of incoming telegrams, largely from 1926 to 1929. Some of the telegrams date from the first few months of the Herbert Hoover administration.
Coolidge chose not to preserve his President's Personal File (PPF), which dealt with personal and political matters. As a result, his personal perspectives on his presidency are minimally documented in the collection. Coolidge-related material in other collections, which are listed under Related Resources, partially fill this void.
The Index to the Calvin Coolidge Papers was created by the Manuscript Division in 1965 after the bulk of the collection was microfilmed. Available online in searchable PDF and HTML versions, the index provides a select topical listing of subjects and individuals represented in more than four thousand numerical case files. Not all correspondents are listed. Items added to the collection after 1965, which comprise Series 4: Addition, are also not included.
A current finding aid (PDF and HTML) to the Calvin Coolidge Papers is also available online with links to the digital content on this site.
Brief History of the Coolidge Papers
The Calvin Coolidge Papers were acquired by the Library of Congress through gift, purchase, and transfer between 1921 and 2018. Coolidge placed his Executive Office correspondence case files, the largest part of the collection, on deposit in the Library's Manuscript Division in May 1929, shortly after leaving the White House. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, converted the deposit to a gift in 1953. Coolidge's appointment books, copies of incoming telegrams, and other items were transferred to the collection by the National Archives and Records Administration, Office of Presidential Libraries, in 1985. Additional letters to and from Coolidge, as well as other items, have been received through gift, transfer, and purchase over the years.
A full history of the collection's provenance was prepared in 1965 for the Index to the Calvin Coolidge Papers, pp. v-vi (PDF and HTML), and was subsequently reproduced in the finding aid. A version of it appears on this website under Articles and Essays.
Description of Series
The Calvin Coolidge Papers are arranged in four series. A finding aid (PDF and HTML) to the collection is available online with links to the digital content on this site.
Series 1: Executive Office Correspondence, 1923-1929 (Reels 1-188)
Numerical case files from the President's Executive Office consisting of letters received, sometimes with brief notes drafted by Coolidge for reply, and carbon copies of outgoing letters from Coolidge or his secretaries. Enclosures are filed with their cover letters. The original numerical sequence of the case files has been retained. An alphabetical list of case file titles appears at the beginning of the series.
Series 2: Additional Correspondence, 1921-1929 (Reel 188)
Correspondence, including photocopies, not part of the Executive Office case files.
