The Sheffield Old Town Hall is falling apart and if nothing is done about it soon the damage may be terminal. These images show just how bad the damage to the building is. It looks like it could be saved though, it isn't too late!
Unfortunately almost no-one has been able to gain entry to the building legally because the owners of the building are not responding to the multiple requests for contact made to them. As a result the only up to date images of the inside of the building are from people who have gained entry illegally.
The photographers who have kindly allowed their images to be used are urban explorers. This means that they investigate places that many of us walk past every day. Their entry is not something that we, The Friends Of Sheffield Old Town Hall, condone or support in any way.
We do however appreciate being allowed to use their images to inform the public about the sorry state of the inside of this landmark and piece of Sheffield's history.


The second principle is Color Utilization. This technique is enhanced by the use of color. The golden inhalation invigorates the body while blue exhalation relaxes and soothes the body. By utilizing both colors, we balance and harmonize the energy within us. Gold is also the color used when one wants to course meridians without upsetting select color energies.
The third principle is Heavenly Energy. The colors also represent a balance between heaven and mankind. Blue is the Yin of night, the coolness, and all the celestial energy of the moon. Gold is the Yang of the day, the warmth, and the power of the sun.
You will find that this Chi Kung revitalizes your energy while also providing relaxation. An excellent use of this set is to aid with insomnia.
Lay down in a comfortable, quiet place with your head to the north and your feet to the south. Your arms should be outstretched with your palms facing upward. Your body should resemble a star as seen from above.
Begin by relaxing your feet and your calves. As you inhale deeply into your Dan Tien, visualize golden waves of energy lapping up and over your feet and legs as if you are laying on a beach with waves beginning to roll over you. As you exhale, visualize blue or white light dancing through it like foam dancing on the waves of the ocean.
When it hits your shoulders, allow it to overflow and spill down into your arms like water filling the handle of a milk jug (See Figure #3). Continue to breathe deeply, using the colors, Fill your entire body with energy.
Once you have filled your entire body with the colors and the energy, look inward to your mind's eye.
1. Visualize a golden ball of energy.
2. Take this ball down to your Dan Tien and move the ball around your torso in circles (See Table 1 and Figure 4). Males should move the ball clockwise. Females counterclockwise.
When you are laying down, the clock orientation is 12:00 at our groin and 6:00 at your chest.
Male - Clockwise. Inhale up right side, exhale down left side.
Female - Counterclockwise/ Inhale up left side, exhale down right side.
Using this energy pattern generates and densely packs the energy field.
There are three different energy patterns that used with the Golden Circle Breath Chi Kung. The first two patterns use a particular point as a "home base". The third pattern is a continous loop that uses the twelve main meridians.
1. Run the energy from your forehead to your right palm. Return it to your forehead.
2. Run the energy from your forehead to your right foot. Return it to your forehead.
3. Run the energy from your forehead to your left foot. Return it to your forehead.
4. Run the energy from your forehead to your left hand. Return it to your forehead.
5. Continue to run this pattern for as long as time permits.
1. Run the energy from your Dan Tien to your right palm. Return it to your Dan Tien.
2. Run the energy from your Dan Tien to your right foot. Return it to your Dan Tien.
3. Run the energy from your Dan Tien to your left foot. Return it to your Dan Tien.
4. Run the energy from your Dan Tien to your left hand. Return it to your Dan Tien.
5. Run the energy from your Dan Tien to your forehead. Return it to your Dan Tien.
6. Continue to run this pattern for as long as time permits.
This is the last exercise and is for advanced practicioners who have memorized the paths of the meridians as they course through the body.
After you complete the course of each meridian, move immediately to the next.

NHS target students in MMR jab campaign
By administrator on	 November 1, 2019
The NHS is reaching out to a predicted half a million students who may have missed getting their MMR vaccination.
Many parents shunned the jab, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella (German Measles) after the now-discredited NHS doctor Andrew Wakefield publicised a study claiming that the vaccine was linked to autism.
The anti-vaccine activist's study triggered a mass health scare which prompted thousands of parents to skip the triple jab.
According to the Daily Mail, Measles cases have trebled across England and Wales in the last 12 months, with 991 infections reported. Two-thirds of all cases are amongst the 15 – 24 age group.
Masters student Emily Woodward, 25 is one of those students who never received her immunisation.
She said: "My mum told me that I didn't have the MMR jab because members of my family have autism and this was at that time when there was a really big scare around it causing autism.
"My mum really didn't want to risk it at all. She actually got advised by her nurse at the time that it wasn't a good idea.
"I've never thought about having the jab but if I got offered it now, I probably would go for it. Obviously there's been so much more research done now to show it doesn't cause anything and to show it's completely safe."
Neil Alcock's first ever hearing aid was very different to the ones we see today.
Mel Mountford, a nurse at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Newcastle-under-Lyme remembers the scare around the vaccination but recalls that, as a trained medical professional, she was able to read between the lines of the study.
However, she thinks it is understandable why so many parents were in fear of the jab.
Mel told StaffsLive: "For me, I think it's really important to get the immunisations – purely because the more people that get immunised, the less likely people are going to be susceptible to catching it in the event of an outbreak.
"We've seen numbers rise nationally – and internationally. As a nurse, I've unfortunately seen the side effects of measles and mumps, in cases of things like meningitis and cephalitis.
"They have resulted in critical care admissions and being on life support. For a small number of people it's left them with quite significant brain injuries and brain damage afterwards, as a result of their infection.
"It's had a massively disastrous effect on them and their families. A simple jab as a child would have saved so much heartache and illness for them all."
Born in 1950, the MMR vaccination was yet to be invented and released when Neil Alcock was born. When he was just nine-years-old Neil, from the Staffordshire Moorlands, contracted measles and has been partially deaf ever since. He said: "I had measles very, very bad.
"There was no such thing as the MMR jab in those days so we had nothing to protect us. I remember being at school and the teacher was talking to me and I was not answering because I could not hear her – that's how they found out I was deaf.
"I remember my mother being so frightened for me. I had such a high temperature and fever and the hallucinations were awful: I imagined things chasing me.
"I have had a very difficult life being deaf, especially when I was at school. When I was training to be a chef as a young adult, I had to learn by watching and tasting."
NHS England and Public Health England estimate that at least 25,000 Freshers students have not received their immunisation. With recent outbreaks at several universities across the country, the NHS is pleading with students to check if they have had the vaccine by speaking to their GP.
You can find out more about the MMR vaccination via the NHS website.

'Leaving Neverland' Fallout: 'The Simpsons' Remove Michael Jackson Episode from the Show
Source: Kevin Kane / Getty
"Stark Raving Dad," the classic 1991 Simpsons episode featuring an uncredited voice cameo from Michael Jackson, is being pulled from the long-running series' rotation.
"I'm against book burning of any kind," executive producer James L. Brooks told the Wall Street Journal Thursday, adding that this was a collective decision backed by creator Matt Groening. "But this is our book, and we're allowed to take out a chapter." The pull, of course, won't be quite immediate. As Brooks explained, there will be a slight delay on scrubbing the episode from the FXX on-demand app, as well as future DVD pressings.
"It feels clearly the only choice to make," Brooks said of pulling the (critically lauded at the time) episode, which longtime viewers will recall sees Homer being sent to a mental health facility due to matters of purported anarchy. While there, Homer meets someone who claims to be Jackson. Jackson contributing his voice to the episode wasn't confirmed until some time after it aired as the show's season 3 premiere.
The move follows the continued controversy surrounding HBO's two-part documentary Leaving Neverland. In the film, Jackson is accused by James Safechuck and Wade Robson of sexually abusing them as children. The Jackson family has released multiple public statements and given interviews in recent weeks which they adamantly deny both men's accounts.

Subscribe to Affinity Group Coalition
The Public Television Affinity Group Coalition adopted its statement of Mission and Principles in February 2004.
RESOLUTION Whereas, representatives and staff of the Major Market Group, The National Educational Telecommunications Association, the Organization of State Broadcasting Executives, the Program Resource Group and the Small Station Association have been working in cooperation with staff of the Association of Public Television Stations, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Public Broadcasting Service; and,
Whereas, these licensee representatives have drafted and recommended for acceptance by all public television entities a statement of our shared vision; now therefore be it Resolved, that we, the licensee members of the Public Broadcasting Service, do hereby request that the PBS Board of Directors consider acceptance of this statement as a representation of member interests and as a guide for strategic planning and operations.
Why Public Television?
Public television is the only universally accessible national resource that uses the power and accessibility of television to educate, enlighten, and inform. Because of its public service mission, public television is more essential than ever in the cluttered media landscape.
In a world of commercial media conglomerates, public television is the only locally owned television provider in most communities. Its array of education and outreach services, combined with local ownership, means that public television stations are actively engaged in their communities, creating content and providing services that respond to local needs.
Because the goal of commercial television is to maximize profits by attracting as many viewers as possible to expose them to advertising, its programming philosophy is driven by ratings as a key measure of its success. Public television, on the other hand, strives for impact and measures its success by the extent of its ability to educate and inform, to enlighten and entertain. In short, public television strives to:
Challenge the American mind.
Inspire the American spirit.
Preserve the American memory.
Promote global understanding.
Mission Statement for Digital PTV
Digital technology offers new opportunities to support a public service mission that serves the American people. Public television will use digital technology over multiple platforms to:
Extend its traditional mission of public service and noncommercial, educational broadcasting for all Americans.
Combine public service national programming with universal service to make a positive difference in the lives of all Americans.
Partner with community institutions to enrich and expand learning in public affairs, science, arts and culture.
Ensure that diverse local voices have access to the media.
Digital public television will be an essential part of our national and community life. Rooted in and deeply engaged with local communities, it will achieve the financial stability required to provide services to all Americans. Its programming and other digital services will be a unifying force in American culture, a lens through which we can view and understand our diverse nation and the world.

The Other Lands by David Anthony Durham
Durham is a very skilled storyteller who has created a wonderful tale.
The apocalyptic struggle against the conquering Mein has ended and a victorious Corinn Akaran reigns over the Acacian Empire of the known world. Bolstered by her growing mastery of the forbidding, sorcerous powers contained in the BOOK OF ELENET, she rules with an iron hand.
The Other Lands follows on nine years after the events of the excellent Acacia. In this sequel, we see Corinn Akaran firmly established as Queen of Acacia alongside her son by Heinish Mein, Prince Aaden. Princess Mena is out in the Known World with her husband Melio, defending the land from the creatures known as the foulthings. The foulthings are abominations left over from the Santoth involvement in the war at the end of Acacia.
News also reaches the court from the mysterious Other Lands. Queen Corinn dispatches her brother Prince Dariel to act as her emissary, along with Sire Neen of the League of Vessels, and soldiers of the Numrek to make greetings with the Lothan Aklun. From the moment Dariel sets sail across the Grey Slopes, the Known World will never be the same again....
The second book in Durham's Acacia trilogy is every bit as good as the first book. Whilst this is the middle book in the trilogy there are plenty of things happening in this colourful world and some great scenes. The world building really takes shape and the key characters and their motivations are developed further. Lots of mysteries are now resolved with more to come, and we now have greater depth of many of the events that have previously taken place. New exciting characters and groups are also introduced and the magic element really takes shape. It is Durham's handling of the magic elements and world creation, which really shows his mastery and development in this genre.
The book and Acacia also deals in some emotive subjects such as child slavery known as the Quota. Durham uses his historical knowledge and previous expertise in this subject, to portray it convincingly and show the corruption of individuals and groups who perpetuate it.
In the first book Durham had a way of making you sympathise with both parties. This also takes place in this book, though not to the same extent. This book certainly sees parties of corruption and even though we know deep down who we are rooting for, nothing is really as it seems. I believe this is to do with Durham's skill as an historical writer, in that he teaches us that a story (read history) must be told impartially and that ultimately it is the winners who go on tell it in their own way.
In conclusion, this is a book which has lived up to the expectation of Acacia. In many ways it did not feel like a middle volume and in others it fulfilled a middle volume's purpose. Durham is a very skilled storyteller and in this trilogy he has so far created a wonderful tale. The ending to this book is also worth savouring and the future looks bright. My only mild criticism was that Mena had a much smaller role, and I hope to see far more of her in the conclusion. The final telling of this story points towards an explosive and dramatic finale, and it has now become my most anticipated book of 2011.

Thanks to our generous friends at Madman Entertainment, we're giving our members the chance to WIN an in-season double pass to THE DEATH OF STALIN, releasing in Australian cinemas on the 29th March. We have 10 double passes up for grabs!
THE DEATH OF STALIN is a bitingly sharp film featuring an outstanding ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi, Rupert Friend, Simon Russell, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko and more.
The one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop).
Moscow, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). But as they bumble, brawl, and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.
To celebrate the release of THE DEATH OF STALIN in Australian cinemas on 29th of March, WeekendNotes subscribers have the chance to win an in-season double pass.
To go into the draw, all you have to do is send an email titled 'THE DEATH OF STALIN' to competitions@weekendnotes.com and let us know in 25 words or less why you want to see this anticipated comedy. Please make sure to include your full name and mailing address so we can send you your prize!

Disability under Social Security is based on your inability to work because of a medical condition. Therefore, a person with an HIV infection is likely to be considered disabled if his/her infection is symptomatic, including AIDS.
Your ability (or inability) to perform mental tasks such as understanding, carrying out and remembering instructions; responding appropriately to supervision and co-workers; and dealing with work pressures.


The Task Force for the Validation and Transformation Language (VTL), created in 2013 under the initiative of the SDMX Secretariat, has released the VTL version 2.0.
VTL 2.0 stems from the VTL 1.0 released in March 2015, from the draft 1.1 version released in October 2016 in public review and from the suggestions collected following such review. Due to the great improvements achieved, the new version has been named VTL 2.0 as a major release of the standard.
In designing VTL 2.0, a strong effort has been devoted to strengthen the fundamentals of the language, with the core objective of ensuring its stability in the future. A main demand originating from VTL implementers, in fact, is to protect the investments in developing VTL systems and construct a robust foundation, in order to ensure that future releases can leverage it and remain backward compatible. Great value is bestowed to the fact that current VTL 2.0 developments will work also with future releases.
VTL 2.0 provides important additional features compared to VTL 1.0. The capability of sharing and reusing definitions has been increased by means of the so-called "reusable rules" (for example validation, aggregation and transcoding rules). The possibility of defining and using custom operators (named user-defined operators) has been introduced: this is a main mechanism to achieve an extensible and customizable language. A dedicated definition language supports the definition of reusable-rules and user-defined operators. The manipulation language has been greatly improved and a number of new features have been added to the standard library, such as, for example, the aggregate and analytical operators.
Part 1: the user manual, highlighting the main characteristics of VTL, its key assumptions and the information model the language is based on.
Part 2: the reference manual (version July 2018), describing the full library of operators ordered by category, with examples. This version contains minor corrections (mainly typos) with respect to the version published in April 2018.
The grammar expressed in EBNF notation (Extended Backus-Naur Form) which is the technical notation to be used in IT implementations.
Download the VTL 2.0 package (user manual, reference manual, EBNF).
Further info: please contact the SDMX Technical Working Group (SDMX-TWG) at twg@sdmx.org.
The Task force for the Validation and Transformation Language (VTL), created in 2013 under the initiative of the SDMX Secretariat, is working on version 1.1 of VTL. The public review version was released in October 2016 and was commented until January 2017. The consolidation of its final version is ongoing.
VTL is a standard language for defining validation and transformation rules (set of operators, their syntax and semantics) for any kind of statistical data. VTL 1.1 takes advantage of all the comments and proposals received after the publication of version 1.0, in March 2015. The new version contains several new features, together with an extended library of operators covering more use cases.
The initiative builds on the generic framework for defining mathematical expressions existing in the SDMX information model but the intention is to provide a language that is usable with other standards as well as for expressing logical validation rules and transformations on data.
Part 1: the user manual, highlighting the main characteristics of VTL, its key assumptions and the information model the language is based on. Part 1 also includes a formal description of data validation objects against which information models can be mapped.
Part 2: the reference manual, containing the full library of operators ordered by category, including examples; this version can support validation and basic compilation needs.
The eBNF (extended Backus-Naur Form), i.e. the technical notation for use in the implementation, will be added at the end of the revision process.
For more info, please send a mail to the SDMX Technical Working Group (SDMX-TWG) at twg@sdmx.org.

Sydney Gazette (Сидней газетт) — первая в Австралии газета, выходившая с 1803 по 1842 год.

Газета была учреждена губернатором Нового Южного Уэльса Кингом и получила название The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, первый номер вышел 5 марта. Редактором газеты стал каторжник Джордж Хоу, которому смертная казнь за воровство была заменена ссылкой в колонию. Хоу был потомственным печатником, этому ремеслу его научил отец на острове Сент-Китс, а затем Хоу переехал в Лондон и работал в The Times. Газета выходила один раз в неделю, основным содержанием номеров были правительственные сообщения, небольшое место уделялось местным новостям.

В августе 1807 года между Хоу и сменившим Кинга губернатором Блаем произошёл конфликт. Газета почти на год перестала выходить, но в мае следующего года выпуск возобновился. В 1821 году Хоу скончался, на посту редактора его сменил сын Роберт (погиб в 1829 году, утонув в Сиднейской бухте). С 1825 года Sydney Gazette выпускалась раз в две недели, с 1831 года — раз в три недели.

В 1810 году на Тасмании появилась вторая австралийская газета the Derwent Star and Van Diemen's Land Intelligencer. Позднее в Сиднее возникло ещё несколько газет, в том числе существующая до настоящего времени The Sydney Herald (1831). К этому времени популярность Sydney Gazette стала падать, последний номер вышел 20 ноября 1842 года.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad is launching three All Course M.Tech. programmes in Biomedical, Chemical and Material Science Engineering in August 2018. The deadline for filing online applications is July 21, 2018. While the primary goal of the all course M.Tech. program is to provide a strong coursework to meet the industrial requirements, it also offers a flexible structure to cater to the students with research bent of mind. A student can choose to take only courses and graduate in three semesters or he/she may choose to do a full thesis for 14 months, which is similar to the regular 2Yr M. Tech Program.
IIT Hyderabad introduced the concept of All Course M.Tech. Program in 2017 when it started on a limited basis in three specializations - Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
After seeing the strong response from students last year, Institute has now decided to add three more specializations this year.
"The Indian industries need highly skilled workforce equipped with latest developments and practices, and this we believe can be achieved through an exhaustive set of courses. In addition to the existing specializations in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad is going to expand the all course M.Tech. program to Biomedical, Chemical, and Material Science Engineering, as well, from August 2018," Prof. U. B Desai, Director, IIT Hyderabad, said while speaking about the importance of All Course M.Tech. Program.
Prof Desai further explained, "The All Course Program will not be a shortcut to an IIT degree. The All Course program students, besides taking the normal course load will have to take extra courses in place of the research work done in the second year of the regular two-year M.Tech. Program. The course rigour will be the same and will have the depth of IIT courses and breadth for skill and practice."
IIT Hyderabad will graduate the first batch of All Course M. Tech. students in the forthcoming convocation.
A student can choose to take only courses and graduate in three semesters or he/she may choose to do a full thesis for 14 months, which is similar to the regular 2 year M. Tech Program.
In a standard MTech program students undertake a research project in second year of their M.Tech. program. It was found that some of M.Tech. students prefer broad course work since they have clear aspiration to join industry. This program helps in catering to the needs of these students.
The All Course M.Tech. Program students will not be entitled to any Fellowship as GATE qualification will not be mandatory. On successful completion of the program, the student will receive an M.Tech. degree.
The Civil, Mechanical and Electrical departments are also accepting applications.
IIT Hyderabad is accepting online applications till 21st July 2018.
Candidates will be selected through initial shortlisting followed by written test and/or interview. Program details and online application is available at this link.

Technip Energies N.V. is a French engineering and technology company for the energy industry and chemicals sector. It is a spin-off of TechnipFMC.

History
Technip Energies was established in 2021 as a spinoff of multinational energy company TechnipFMC, itself the result of a merger between French group Technip and American company FMC Technologies. In August 2019, TechnipFMC CEO Doug Pferdehirt announced that TechnipFMC would be split into two independent engineering companies: a dedicated technology and services company, to retain the TechnipFMC name, and an engineering and construction business renamed Technip Energies. In January 2021, Technip Energies CEO Arnaud Piéton announced plans for an initial public offering and committed to demonstrate to shareholders that the organization could operate independently of TechnipFMC. The TechnipFMC spilt became effective the following month. The spinoff was completed on 12 February 2021.

Activities
Technip Energies, unlike TechnipFMC, will not focus on upstream - oil exploration and production - development projects, but instead largely on design and construction of large-scale projects to liquify and ship natural gas, as well as refinery bio-conversion projects, carbon capture, and hydrogen.

Gas, especially liquefied natural gas (LNG), provides over 60% of Technip Energies' turnover, while refining and petrochemicals together provide 25-30%. Technip Energies is the world leader in the construction of LNG factories. Technip Energies is also a world leader in hydrogen, having participated in the construction of 30% of the currently installed production capacities.

As at December 2021, the company operated in 34 countries with 15,000 employees.

Technip Energies has been the main contractor on the Yamal LNG development, a US$27 billion project designed to ship LNG to Asian markets through the Northeast Passage. In March 2022, Technip Energies renounced new business opportunities in Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. In April 2022, the European Union's fifth package of sanctions against Russia barred the delivery of goods and technologies required for gas liquefaction, putting a pause on Technip Energies' Arctic LNG 2 liquefied natural gas project. In October 2022, Arnaud Pieton announced having signed an Exit Framework Agreement for this project and anticipated completing this process within the first half of 2023.

In February 2021, QatarEnergy awarded a $13 billion contract to Technip Energies and its Japanese partner Chiyoda. The project involves the construction of four natural gas liquefaction plants in Qatar to increase the country's liquefied natural gas production by 40%. The contract sent Technip Energies stock price soaring on its first day of trading, associating it with the largest LNG project in history.

In 2021, Technip Energies supplied the world's first liquefied CO2 marine loading arms as part of the Northern Lights carbon capture project in Norway. In July 2022, Hafslund Oslo Celsio awarded Technip Energies a contract for the world's first complete waste-to-energy facility with CO2 capture.

In 2022, Technip Energies collaborated with the Swiss sports brand On to develop the first ever shoe made using carbon emissions as a primary raw material.

In July 2022, Technip Energies signed an agreement with the UAE's National Petroleum Construction Co. (NPCC) to form the joint venture NT ENERGIES LLC, which aims to support the energy transition in the Middle East and North Africa by offering services related to decarbonization and blue and green hydrogen.

Technip Energies was part of the consortium which launched the Alliance for Industry Decarbonization, which aims to decarbonize industrial value chains towards the Paris Agreement goals.

Technip Energies is a member of OPEN-C Foundation, a foundation dedicated to floating wind power and marine renewable energies.

Technip Energies is listed on the Euronext Paris stock market with symbol TE, and on the American over-the-counter market as American Depositary Receipt TKPPK.

When Santa Fe had a Japanese Prison Camp
Remembering the capital city's role in racialized persecution

By Aaron Cantú
On Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which authorized the federal government to incarcerate people it considered potential saboteurs of the war effort. In practice, ordinary Japanese immigrants and citizens mostly on the West Coast were its primary targets.
One of the largest concentration camps was built in Santa Fe 76 years ago.
Teichiro Maehara spoke to his grandson Paul about his imprisonment at the Santa Fe Internment Camp just once, right before Paul left Hawaii in 1964 to attend the University of Denver as a freshman.
"My grandfather told me, 'You're going to Denver. I remember sleeping on a bench on a train station there while I was being shipped to New Mexico,'" says Paul Maehara, who is now in his 70s. "That's all he talked about, the train stop in Denver."
The Santa Fe camp imprisoned a reported 4,555 men and was one of several camps operated by the Department of Justice during the war. They were distinct from the 10 larger relocation camps scattered across the country, which held around 110,000 adults and children and were maintained by a different federal agency.
From 1942 to 1946, the DOJ camps held around 7,000 people, primarily Japanese immigrants who had been monitored by the FBI prior to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Their cultural connection to Japan, as well as their high levels of education and respected social standing, had earned them the government's pre-emptive suspicion.
According to his grandson, Teichiro piqued the feds' interest because he was a principal at a Japanese language school on the island of Maui in Hawaii. He and others considered "enemy aliens" were transported to DOJ camps around the country, including the one in Santa Fe. Often, those taken to these sites had family incarcerated in relocation camps elsewhere.
Nikki Nojima Louis, a special projects coordinator with the New Mexico Japanese-American Citizen League, says relatively little is known about the DOJ camps—three of which were in New Mexico, at Fort Stanton, Lordsburg and Santa Fe. Her father Shoichi Nojima, a newspaper editor who immigrated to Seattle from Tokyo, was picked up by the FBI just hours after the Pearl Harbor attack (which was also Nikki's birthday). He was taken to Santa Fe while she and her family were incarcerated in Idaho.
"He was from a samurai family, so he was targeted right away," says Louis. "The FBI had very, very extensive records on the communications back and forth" between immigrants in the US and relatives in Japan.
The 80-acre camp in New Mexico's capital "was run like a high-security federal penitentiary, with the prisoners treated like prisoners of war, as governed by the Geneva Convention," according to the book Silent Voices of World War II: When Sons of the Land of Enchantment Met Sons of the Land of the Rising Sun. According to authors Everett Rogers and Nancy Bartlit, prisoners had identification numbers stenciled onto their clothes and were penned inside with woven and barbed wire. One hundred guards patrolled the camp, which had a population at its height that constituted 10 percent of Santa Fe's total.
Despite the dehumanizing environment, the men there—most of whom were over the age of 50—were able to operate their own poultry farms and irrigate community vegetable gardens, and produced a newspaper, the Santa Fe Jiho. For a time, a handful were even able to secure daytime work outside the camp, according to Rogers and Bartlit.
Santa Fe was also the site of an uprising by men who had been sent there from a relocation camp in California. Near the end of the war, after years of persecution, hundreds of incarcerated Japanese Americans renounced their US citizenship, legally transforming themselves into "enemy aliens" overnight. Rogers and Bartlit write that over 300 people who had been transported to Santa Fe resisted their confinement with rocks, crowbars and iron pipes against camp guards, who responded with tear gas and nightsticks. Many of the dissidents were transported to harsher camps.
Amid this growing anti-American sentiment, Teichiro remained loyal to the US. Three of Teichiro's sons fought for the US against the Axis powers, including one who was killed in Italy. He did not return to Hawaii until early 1946, months after Japan's surrender.
"He strongly emphasized being an American citizen and honoring the flag," says Paul Maehara.
The expanse of the camp existed within the area now enclosed by St. Francis Drive and West Alameda Street. Apartments and houses sprout where barracks used to be. The only sign of the camp is a boulder in Frank S Ortiz Park on Camino de las Crucitas with a plaque, dedicated by the city in 2002. The plaque reads, in part: "This marker is placed here as a reminder that history is a valuable teacher only if we do not forget our past."
Teichiro did not say much to his grandson about his imprisonment, but Paul has kept the past alive through his own research. Life events have also found a way to put Santa Fe at the forefront of Paul's mind: By coincidence, one of his godsons, Brian Watkins, is now a fire inspector with the Santa Fe Fire Department.
"Parts of the family history was being lost because all my uncles and aunts on my father's side, and now on my mother's side, are all gone," he says.
Louis is also helping keep the memory alive through multimedia theatrical performances that tell the stories of Japanese-Americans during WWII. The NMJACL performed in Albuquerque on Feb. 17, and Louis says a date for Santa Fe and other cities will be announced soon.
"We're always in Santa Fe," she says, "because that's where many of these stories are centered."

Traditional casinos, poker clubs, slot halls and freestanding machines are legal in Slovakia.
The first casinos appeared in the country at the end of the Communist era. Over the next 10 years the widespread economic hardship of post-Communist Slovakia coupled with a sharp tax increase on gaming machines in 1998 caused a drop in gaming machine numbers. Up to that point, slot machines were the most popular type of gaming in the country. The industry appeared to be in trouble when casino revenues reached their lowest point in 2001, generating only SK 270 million in aggregate profits.
Despite a history of decline, the Slovak gaming business has experienced a recovery in recent years. The Gambling Act of 2005 named the Ministry of Finance as the official regulator for the gaming industry and laid out a precise system for tiered taxation based on gaming type and traffic. Clear rules and predictable taxes have encouraged foreign investment and the diversification of gambling products.

Hans Jakob (* 16. Juni 1908 in München; † 24. März 1994 in Regensburg) war ein deutscher Fußballtorwart, Olympiateilnehmer 1936 und Weltmeisterschafts-Dritter 1934.

Spielerkarriere

Vereine
In München geboren, gelangte Jakob im Kleinkindalter nach Regensburg, der Heimatstadt seiner Eltern. Mit zwölf Jahren begann er in der Fußballabteilung des TV 1861 Regensburg mit dem Fußballspielen, zunächst noch als Feldspieler. Bedingt durch das Fehlen eines Torhüters wurde ihm diese Position zuteil. Durch die am 28. Februar 1924 erfolgte Reinliche Scheidung formierte sich die Fußballabteilung als Sportbund Jahn Regensburg, der sich Jakob anschloss. Sein erstes von 1000 Spielen (bis 1942) für die erste Mannschaft gab er 1926 im Alter von 18 Jahren beim 3:2-Sieg im Kreisligaspiel gegen die SpVgg Landshut. Mit dem Aufstieg in die erstklassige Bezirksklasse in der Folgespielzeit, war er in dieser bis 1933 aktiv. Von 1933 bis 1935 und – Abstieg bedingt – von 1937 bis 1942 spielte er in der erstklassigen Gauliga Bayern, die ab 1939 offiziell Sportbereichsklasse hieß. Den Gauauswahlwettbewerb um den Adolf-Hitler-Pokal 1933 gewann er mit der Gauauswahl Bayern am 6. August 1933 in München, mit 6:1 im Wiederholungsspiel gegen die Gauauswahl Berlin-Brandenburg, nachdem das Finale am 23. Juli 1933 mit dem 2:2-Unentschieden keinen Sieger fand. Das Finale um den Reichsbundpokal 1939 dagegen verlor er mit der Gauauswahl Bayern mit 1:2 Toren gegen die Gauauswahl Schlesien.

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs – vom Frontdienst befreit – lebte er ab 1943 aus beruflichen Gründen in Oberbayern und absolvierte drei Spielzeiten für den FC Bayern München, seine letzte in der neugeschaffenen Oberliga Süd in der er am 4. November 1945 (1. Spieltag) bei der 1:2.Niederlage im Auswärtsspiel gegen den 1. FC Nürnberg und zuletzt, in seinem dritten Punktspiel, am 27. Januar 1946 (13. Spieltag) bei der 0:2-Niederlage im Auswärtsspiel gegen die Stuttgarter Kickers zum Einsatz kam. In der Saison 1946/47 half er beim oberfränkischen 1. FC Lichtenfels in der zweitklassigen Landesliga Bayern aus, ehe er nach Regensburg zurückkehrte. Für die Reserve-Mannschaft der Oberpfälzer war er bis 1949 aktiv, bevor er 41-jährig aus gesundheitlichen Gründen seine Karriere beenden musste.

Nationalmannschaft
Von Reichstrainer Otto Nerz bei der Endrunde um die Süddeutsche Meisterschaft 1930 entdeckt, wurde Jakob in die A-Nationalmannschaft berufen. Sein Debüt im Nationaltrikot gab er am 2. November 1930 in Breslau beim 1:1-Unentschieden gegen die Auswahl Norwegens – sein einziges Länderspiel in dieser Spielzeit. 1932 kam er bereits fünfmal und 1933 zweimal zum Einsatz, bevor er mit der Mannschaft an der vom 27. Mai bis 10. Juni 1934 in Italien ausgetragenen Weltmeisterschaft teilnahm. Sein einziges Turnierspiel war das mit 3:2 gegen die Auswahl Österreichs gewonnene Spiel um Platz 3. 1934 und 1935 absolvierte er vier bzw. fünf Länderspiele, bevor er mit der Mannschaft an dem vom 3. bis 15. August 1936 in Berlin ausgetragenen olympischen Fußballturnier teilnahm und mit ihr nach der unerwarteten 0:2-Niederlage am 7. August im Viertelfinale gegen die Auswahl Norwegens aus dem Turnier ausschied. In der Spielzeit 1936/37 absolvierte er mit neun Einsätzen die größte Anzahl an Länderspielen, darunter auch das legendäre Spiel der Breslau-Elf, die am 16. Mai 1937 im schlesischen Breslau 8:0 gegen die Auswahl Dänemarks gewann.

Am 20. Juni 1937 gehörte er einer westeuropäischen Auswahlmannschaft an, die in Amsterdam mit 1:3 einer zentraleuropäischen Auswahlmannschaft unterlag.

Mit drei erfolgreichen Qualifikationsspielen im Jahr 1937 war die Teilnahme an der Weltmeisterschaft 1938 in Frankreich gesichert, der er allerdings fernblieb wegen des plötzlichen Todes seiner viereinhalbjährigen Tochter. Sein letztes von 38 Länderspielen bestritt er am 24. September 1939 in Budapest bei der 1:5-Niederlage gegen die Auswahl Ungarns. Seine Bilanz: 22 Siege, 8 Remis, 8 Niederlagen – 91:54 Tore. Mit der am 14. Mai 1938 in Berlin gegen die Auswahl Englands erlittenen 3:6-Niederlage musste er die meisten Gegentore in einem Spiel hinnehmen.

Trainerkarriere
Nach Beendigung seiner Fußballerkarriere trainierte er eine Zeit lang den 1. FC Passau und war danach als Offizieller für den SSV Jahn Regensburg tätig. In der Saison 1959/60 betreute er die Mannschaft als Trainer in der 2. Oberliga Süd und führte sie 1960/61 in die erstklassige Oberliga Süd.

Is Europol a Comprehensive Policing Actor?
Stephen Rozee (Lead / Corresponding author), Christian Kaunert (Lead / Corresponding author), Sarah Leonard (Lead / Corresponding author)
This article provides an assessment of Europol as a comprehensive policing actor with a particular focus on crime-fighting. It argues that Europol has moved beyond some of the early obstacles it faced regarding the lack of trust and confidence from the police forces of the member states and the limitations that those issues had caused. The agency now makes contributions in all of the broad areas associated with international crime-fighting. As a result, it can be argued that Europol's mandate and activities include the range of police functions comprised by policing in the area of crime-fighting. However, although the EU's promotion of Europol and its increased mandate have given the agency significant potential to fulfil these functions in a deep and complete way, in practice this has been achieved only in some areas.

Big-band (z ang. dosł. "duży zespół") – zespół muzyczny wykonujący muzykę jazzową lub rozrywkową.

Największą popularność ten typ zespołu osiągnął w latach 30. i 40. XX wieku w czasach epoki swingu.

Zwykle muzyka dla big-bandów jest w wysokim stopniu aranżowana, co pozostawia mniejsze pole manewru dla solistów jazzowych, w przeciwieństwie dla małych formacji jazzowych, gdzie dużą rolę odgrywa improwizacja. W epoce free jazzu istniały też big bandy, które nie używały zapisanych aranżacji (np. Sun Ra Orchestra, The Art Ansamble Of Chicago).

Big-band nigdy nie miał do końca ustalonego składu instrumentalnego, ani też liczby muzyków w nim grających. Zwykle było ich od kilkunastu do kilkudziesięciu, podzielonych na sekcje. Klasyczny big-band składa się z sekcji rytmicznej (złożonej z perkusji, fortepianu, kontrabasu, gitary) i sekcji dętej podzielonej zazwyczaj na trzy podsekcje: sekcja trąbek, sekcja puzonów i sekcja saksofonów. Oprócz tego stosuje się także inne instrumenty dęte, zarówno drewniane (głównie flety i klarnety), jak i blaszane (flugelhorny i czasami tubę).

Struktura

Sekcja dęta

Sekcja saksofonów
Sekcja saksofonów zazwyczaj składa się z pięciu muzyków: dwóch grających na saksofonach altowych, dwóch na saksofonach tenorowych i jeden na saksofonie barytonowym. Prowadzącym sekcji, który określa ogólny styl i głośność gry jest zazwyczaj pierwszy saksofonista altowy. Jeśli wymaga tego aranżacja, muzycy grają także na innych instrumentach dętych, takich jak flety, klarnety i saksofony sopranowe (czasami oboje i fagoty).

Sekcja dęta blaszana
Sekcja blaszana to ogólny termin określający sekcje trąbek i sekcję puzonów (czasami waltorni). Instrumenty te mogą też korzystać z różnego rodzaju tłumików zmieniających efekt brzmieniowy, powszechnie stosowanych w jazzie.

Sekcja trąbek
Sekcja trąbek składa się zwykle z czterech do pięciu muzyków, z których każdy gra osobną partię. Sekcji przewodzi zazwyczaj pierwsza (albo prowadząca) trąbka, grająca najwyższą i najtrudniejszą partię. Jeśli sekcja gra tutti, prowadzący trębacz jest uznawany za muzyka prowadzącego. Drugi trębacz to zazwyczaj improwizujący solista.

Sekcja puzonów
Sekcja puzonów składa się z zazwyczaj z trzech puzonów tenorowych i jednego puzonu basowego. Czasami dodawany jest jako piąty instrument tuba.

Sekcja rytmiczna
Sekcja rytmiczna z reguły składa się z fortepianu, perkusji, kontrabasu (lub gitary basowej) i gitary.

W klasycznych big bandach gitara była używana najczęściej jako instrument czysto rytmiczny.

Zestaw perkusyjny składa się zazwyczaj z bębna basowego, werbla, tom-tomów, hi-hatu i talerzy typu ride i crash.

Fortepian (najczęściej pianino) miał zazwyczaj funkcję rytmiczno-harmoniczną.

We współczesnych big-bandach używa się często dodatkowych instrumentów jak syntezatory, rozbudowane sekcje instrumentów perkusyjnych, elektryczne piana (piano fendera) i inne.

Historia
Swingowe zespoły były bardzo popularne od końca lat 20. do początku lat 50. XX wieku. Zastosowanie rozszerzonego składu (kilku muzyków w każdej sekcji) wpływało na głośność muzyki granej przez big band w często zatłoczonych, gwarnych salach tanecznych (balowych). Popularyzacja dużych orkiestr jazzowych wiązała się z popularyzacją odmiany tanecznej jazzu. Przeniesienie muzyki na duże sale taneczne i koncertowe wymusiło powiększenie składów w celu wzmocnienia dźwięku. Systemy nagłośnieniowe stosowano prawie wyłącznie dla solistów (frontmenów).

Później frontmeni wraz z zespołami odgrywali różne style jazzowe, na przykład orkiestra Gila Evansa zapoczątkowała styl cool, a Jaco Pastorious Big Band grał fusion.

Współczesne big bandy grają wszystkie odmiany jazzu.

1) I, JESUS-MARY- SPIRIT have this pen in MY HAND to engrave every WORD of TRUTH onto your heart. I AM MERCY therefore you may not be or live anything else if you want to be part of ME. I as MERCIFUL BEING also fill every living organism, although it appears different in the hunting part of creation. Only man who can unite with ME, can apply MERCY, therefore it is worthy of the CROWN. Choices made in LOVE, shows MERCY from WISDOM, thus it displays LIGHT, bringing PEACE.
2) MERCY is just like LOVE, thus a condition of existence, because by living out LOVE the results or consequences are MERCIFUL.
3) Be diligent in LOVE and MERCY to radiate HOLINESS, because the more you heed to WISDOM's advice and proceed MERCIFULLY, the stronger you draw MY MERCY to you for ME to entrust you with endowments. Every endowment originating from ME results in POWER drawing the heir closer to MY CORE.
4) Never go back to where you awakened and repented, but work to act MERCYFULL in every situation.
5) What do I regard as MERCY?
Life is sacred. Only in the sense of dominion, growth or development or maintenance of locations may something be killed or destroyed.
Recycling is good, but soul parts do not need to be repeatedly 'recycled'. This is only possible once or twice, before total death invalidates it. MY WILL will determine what happens to the soul parts.
6) Love liabilities become a sacrifice through MERCY that will be greatly rewarded eternally. Every child carrying a burden for his neighbour will be awarded.
7) No one can come to ME if I do not show MERCY, therefore everyone can try to gratefully practice MERCY. I will lead everyone to realize MY MERCY, as new things are observed and learned, so that MY KINGDOM can come.
8) How does RIGHTEOUSNESS lead to MERCY, because I am not only LOVE? Yes, LOVE is found in RIGHTEOUSNESS and MERCY, yet not only in the one and not in the other. A Parent that disciplines still loves enough to care. So I love you as MY property and creation, but also as MY friends and loved ones. This is the origin of the perfect marriage: If you unite with me in all levels to also partake in WISDOM, I will crown you with MY SPIRIT of MARY, the WISDOM, where you then take on MY female being`s role to become CO-CREATORS of MY WILL and so supplement MY BEING in serving. Understand now that I had to separate from MY People because of their unfaithfulness to LOVE, but I am again taking your hand as a BRIDE out of the WILL of MERCY to sanctify you for eternal service. Make this COVENANT a reality by purifying your heart in LOVE and round off your robe in MERCY as a wedding garment, because I am ready to take you up in MY BEING so that WE can achieve new forms of life. Let MY Lambs graze, Peter. So say I, JESUS, through the SPIRIT of MARY as an ending to this volume of the NEW BIBLE. I say again: Peter, let my lambs graze. Amen.


I will start off by saying: "You should have been there!". The meeting was in the beautiful "Council Chamber" on the 3rd floor.
It was the most hotly debated resolution and discussion of the day, and there were many other resolutions on the agenda.
Most of the resolutions went through in about 5 minutes each or less. The 2121 Kuhio Tower 50-foot variance resolution discussion lasted about 45 minutes.
Almost every council member spoke and asked serious questions to the Developer and the DPP. They did their work pretty well. It was obvious that they read our testimonies beforehand, and showed great concern regarding the orientation of this building and the justification for it, along with other issues about the project. This was encouraging.
Craig and Mark both gave oral testimony, as well as about 10 others, some of which did not address the orientation issue.
You can read Mark's testimony here: Second Oral Testimony by Mark H – Given 1/30/2013.
In the end, it was a very good discussion. I'm quite surprised it didn't make it into the Thursday newspaper. I will contact the paper and ask them, since they seem to have been covering every other event about the project.
The final vote was in favor of the 50-foot variance. We basically wanted this, since it will hopefully ensure a 48 foot narrower wall (if they still build a wall).
There was one strong objection, and 2 votes "with reservation". Ron Menor, a very smart council member who objected, had a very compelling speech as to why he believed the council should not vote on the issue, and that he believes a Full EIA (Environmental Impact Assesment) is warranted.
Stanley Chang (the Waikiki District council member), spoke afterwards and started off by revealing that "this Developer contributes to his campaign". Wow! That sure doesn't help our confidence in him when it comes to community issues and developers. Anyway, he went on to point out his viewpoint, and that he rejects Ron Menor's objections and request for a full EIA.
This hearing turned out to be very important, and it should be an alert to the DPP and others that there are serious concerns and lack of sufficient justification for building this building in its planned design as a wall to the ocean.
The main justification stated again at the hearing by the Developer's consultant for building parallel to the ocean, was that "The Diamond Head / Eva orientation provides a narrower blockage when viewed from the public view cones along Kalakaua". Mark Harpenau stood up for a 2nd testimony after that, and pointed out to the Council members that if this is in fact a more important justification than the preferred mauka/makai orientation guidelines, then that means that "Every building in Waikiki along Kalakaua should be built as a wall, parallel to the ocean". And this is definitely not the intent of the guidelines.
For those who haven't attended these hearings, please, please come to the next hearing with the DPP on Feb 12th. We need your support. And please write up a short testimony that you can read at the hearing. Now is the time. Otherwise, the opportunity to be heard will be gone.
This is important for the future of Waikiki and our neighborhood. There is insufficient justification for building a wall over a mauka/makai oriented building at this location. It's not a matter of whether to build, it's a matter of proper planning and building the best design for the future of Waikiki.
Here are details for the Next hearing with the DPP on Feb 12th, 9:00 AM.
Good stuff Mark. One visual you may want to include next time is http://www.liliuokalanigardens.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20040512140229251 or in color the siteplan at http://www.hicondos.com/hawaii-Condos/Liliuokalani-Gardens.asp . This may be the first or only tower project that took took our WSD guidelines seriously; look at how the apartments retain mauka makai views without blocking them for others. This porous arrangement was the goal of the wsd vision, which is close to being discarded forever by precedent.
