Will Kymlicka, Eva Pföstl (eds) (2014), Multiculturalism and Minority Rights in the Arab World
Over the last five years, the Arab world has undergone significant transformations. The Arab Spring, which began in 2011 with the escape of Tunisian president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali to Saudi Arabia, not only led to profound changes in the political sphere in many countries of the Middle East and North Africa (hereafter MENA), but also shook the fundaments of social divisions and questioned the existing methods of regional management of cultural and religious diversity. At the same time, the Arab revolutions attest to the failure of Arab governments to deal creatively with the problems of societal pluralism, including issues of minorities. As a consequence, many previously ignored or taboo political and social issues were brought up and publically debated. The recently published book Multiculturalism and Minority Rights in the Arab World, edited by Will Kymlicka and Eva Pföstl, is very useful at a time when the international community is closely observing frequently turbulent transformations of the states and societies in the MENA region. In some sense it follows Kymlicka's efforts to assess how Western ideas on the management of ethnic/religious diversity influence and relate to other social and political contexts.1 However, it also goes further, by aiming to explore how 'identity politics' functions and how minority rights are understood and debated in the region.
Some of the key questions the editors and contributors address in the book are the ones which touch upon the main concepts used in the region to describe issues of ethnic diversity, and models or historic precedents invoked as examples of success or failure. They also ask what hopes or fears drive Arab societies' response to minority claims and what criteria are used to distinguish fair from unfair accommodations, or progressive from regressive claims, or deserving from undeserving minorities. The reviewed volume aims not to catalogue the various laws and policies that have been adopted in relation to minorities in different Arab countries, but rather to provide in-depth assessment of the cultural frameworks and normative assumptions that shape how state–minority relations are debated, and to identify which options are thereby opened up or foreclosed. It does not fully achieve this ambitious goal, among other reasons due to the complexity of the problems at stake, lack of comparative conclusions and wider implications, especially in the light of transformations instigated by the Arab Spring.
Similarly to earlier assessments of multicultural arrangements in other parts of the world co-edited by Kymlicka, the book starts with an introductory chapter that not only clearly sets out the main goals of the publication but also points to the key issues and problems in the theoretical and empirical studies of ethno-cultural diversity in the Arab world, understood in the book as largely overlapping with the 22 member states of the Arab League.2 One of the important dimensions of the regional cultural heterogeneity is, of course, directly related to the fact that the Middle East is the birthplace of the three global monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Hence, one of the types of diversity taken into account in the book is a religious heterogeneity which most commonly relates to people of the region who are Arab but not Muslim (under this category fall inter alia several Arab Christian communities (including the Copts, Maronites, Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic, and Protestants) as well as various Muslim sects, notably the Shi'a, Alawis, Druze, and Isma'ilis). The second type of minorities discussed in the book are those composed of Muslims who are not Arab (in particular the Kurds, Amazigh/Berbers, Turkomans, and Circassians, as well as Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants in the Gulf). Lastly, the volume also takes into account the third type of minority groups in the region, who are neither Arab nor Muslim (e.g. the Jews, Armenians, Assyrians, Southern Sudanese and Indian, Filipino and Nepalese immigrants in the Gulf). Importantly, the editors emphasise that they do not treat these identities as fixed but rather as cultural residues that give people at least a provisional sense of belonging and which can be reservoirs for politicisation.
Kymlicka, one of the important intellectual contributors to the global discourse on multiculturalism adopted in recent decades by various international organisations (e.g. the UN, EU, UNESCO) and formulated in several international declarations on minority and indigenous rights,3 acts in the volume in his capacity of an analyst who assesses the influence of the international norms on the Arab states. Together with other contributors to the book he reflects on whether minority politics, which are viewed with distrust (if not outright repression) in the region, can serve as a vehicle for a general transformative politics supporting a broader democratic transformation and challenging older authoritarian, clientelistic, or patriarchal political tendencies. One of the overall conclusions reached in the text is that the Arab states have very skilfully managed to divorce minority accommodations from broader social and political change. Some of the key barriers to the new minority politics aptly identified in the book are the legacies of the Ottoman millet system4 and the colonial rule, as well as imperatives of postcolonial state-building. Their impact lies in being interconnected and serving as a sufficient reason for the hostility to minority politics in the region. The most interesting element seems to be the legacy of the millet system inherited in the region after 500 years of Ottoman rule, which for some contributors plays a very constructive role in development of more inclusive citizenship and minority rights systems, while for others it is one of the major obstacles to development of modern societies in the region.
The reviewed volume is divided into two parts: one examining the issues of minority rights from broad historical and theoretical perspectives and the other providing detailed case studies. The first part begins with a chapter by Janet Klein on how the discourse on minorities and the category itself have been constructed in the region over the last two centuries, and in particular during the late-Ottoman period and in the post-Ottoman realities. She clearly shows how colonialism contributed to the creation of certain groups as 'minorities' (while excluding others from this category), as well as how it fed the processes through which some groups came to be branded as threats to regional nations and their national unity. One such group is the Kurds, spread throughout the Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian and Turkish territories, to whom the author devotes particular attention. While Klein makes the reader aware of the burdens of history that complicate efforts to address minority issues in the region today, the next contributors, Joshua Castellino and Kathleen Cavanaugh, emphasise the potentially positive contributions that the legacy of the Ottoman millet system can offer instead. In contrast to some of the outspoken critics of the millet-type order, who view it as inconsistent with modern conceptions of equal citizenship, national unity and democratic accountability, Castellino and Cavanaugh instead emphasise the potentially positive contributions that the legacy of the millet system can offer. They argue that the millet legacy, which above all enabled many groups to maintain their autonomy, can serve as an instructive lesson not only for protecting various minority groups, but also for building more inclusive national identity and more representative public institutions. At the same time, they stress that it can do so only if concerted dialogue at a national level takes place between the various communities that constitute the state. This vision, however, seems over-optimistic, taking into account the fact that so far the region has only one country – Tunisia – where such dialogue takes place and which is truly democratic. The fact that it is one of the most culturally and religiously homogenous countries of the Arab world has clearly played some role in this.
The next contributor to the volume, Zaid Eyad, in a somehow more realistic manner draws the readers' attention to the contemporary situation of minorities in the Arab world and the regional models and methods of management of cultural diversity. He analyses various ways of this management, including the traditional and modern Islamic model, liberal multiculturalism and consociationalism, pointing out their limits in the regional context. In his view, the optimal model for the region should draw on the three models: the contemporary Islamic theorising on the idea of the religion-neutral state and territorial citizenship, the multicultural acknowledgment of the different intersecting affiliations and forms of identification, and the consociationalist emphasis on grand coalition and proportionality principles. While such a mixed approach seems to overcome the shortcomings of each of its constituent models, its empirical feasibility is a different matter. It seems that for numerous reasons including the politicisation of religion by state and non-state actors in the region and difficulties in fulfilling sometimes minimal liberal-democratic principles it would be very hard to carry it out. In the following chapter, Corrao and Maffettone convincingly argue that liberalism should be prior to multiculturalism, and that many Arab states have not yet achieved the minimal liberal-democratic threshold, and thus the multicultural discourse makes little sense to many of their citizens.
The second part of the book, exploring more empirical case studies, begins with the chapter by Jacob Mundy on one of the most protracted territorial disputes in Africa today, concerning Western Sahara. His analysis of how Moroccan authorities and Sahrawi nationalists present the conflict leads him to the conclusion that problematising the conflict as an 'Arab problem' needing a specific 'Arab solution' fails to elucidate the fact that the Arab world is already deeply penetrated by global power structures, and hence the solution must also span both local and global contexts. The following contribution, by one of the book's editors, Eva Pföstl, concentrates on another minority group from North Africa – the Amazigh (Berber) minority. It explores the group's growing importance in Algerian politics and its potential to be truly transformative vis-à-vis the Algerian state. Pföstl rightly emphasises the key role that transitional justices can play in the restructuration and democratic transformation of the largest African country. She defines transitional justice as an instrument of broad social transformation that rests on the assumption that societies need to confront past abuses. This instrument seems absolutely crucial, not only in countries with substantial ethnic-cultural-religious minorities (e.g. Algeria, Egypt, or Morocco, analysed earlier), but also in more homogenous ones, for instance Tunisia, where the transitional justice executed by L'Instance Vérité & Dignité (Truth and Dignity Commission) in the majority of cases concerns members of the Islamist opposition persecuted and imprisoned during the rule of Bourguiba and Ben Ali. Alas, as with territorial autonomy in Western Sahara, transitional justice is often viewed in the Arab world (including Algeria) as an alien and dangerous importation.
A book on multiculturalism and minority rights in the Arab world would be incomplete without a chapter on the large group of migrant workers in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries5 that do not fit the typical model of a minority. Nicholas McGeehan's contribution to the volume aptly describes the population of at least 10 million immigrants in the Gulf (above all from such countries as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and the Philippines) and the system that regulates their employment. His analysis focuses on the treatment of foreign workers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where mistreatment of workers in the labour intensive sectors, including construction, has been significantly better documented than the same practices in other countries of the region. Apart from showing how kafala, or the sponsorship system, facilitates the exploitation of foreign labourers in the region, he also searches for the underlying reasons that maintain this system. In his view, shared by many other researchers, the persistence and the significance of domestic slavery in the region explains some of the most serious cases of exploitation of mainly manual workers. The notions of citizenship and multiculturalism so far have little applicability to the case of immigrants in the Gulf; however, something that should be added to the chapter is that they have great significance in the case of, for example, Bahrain's Sunni–Shia power struggle.
The Palestinians are an ethnic group that has dominated the media news from the region and preoccupied international attention for more than half
a century. In the next chapter, Hassan Jabareen describes how some Palestinians became Arab Israelis – a minority in Israel – as well as how they were introduced into the new polity and how their citizenship was created and constrained. He clearly shows the way the terms of state loyalty shape Arab-Israelis' rights and how the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict affects their position in Eretz Israel. Although they make up 20 per cent of Israeli society, their impact on the processes of decision-making remains very limited. Jabareen argues that relations between Jews and Arabs in Israel remain defined by a 'friend–enemy' polarity that undermines not only the national rights of the Arab minority but even their basic individual citizenship rights. What is not made very clear in the text is that the level of this polarity is a direct result of the Israeli policy towards Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in a given moment, which then has its own repercussions on Palestinians in Israel. The author, on the other hand, shows vividly that the more the Arab Israelis use their 'right talk,' the greater the antagonism between them and the Jewish majority.
The reviewed book concludes with two chapters that touch upon issues including the extremely complicated situation in Iraq after 2003, when Saddam Husain was toppled by the US troops, and where a decade later local jihadists started to form strategic alliances which culminated in the formation of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in June 2014. The first one analyses the process of the federalisation of Iraq and compares it with developments in Sudan over that last decade. Its author, Brendan O'Leary, proposes looking for answers to why Sudan broke up and Iraq has continued to hold together (although today large parts of it are under ISIS control) in the differences between the two Arab majorities, Iraqi and Sudanese. In his view, the internal divisions amongst Arabs in Iraq created political possibilities for minorities that were not present in Sudan. From today's perspective, we know that these divisions also contributed to the emergence of ISIS. The second chapter – concentrating on Iraq – analyses the situation of Assyrian-Chaldeans in the country. However, this last chapter of the book, by Joseph Yacoub, is much broader in character, touching upon some of the key issues addressed by the volume, which is the perception of multiculturalism and treatment of minorities in the region. He very aptly notes that the Arab world has been anxious about concerns of ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities ever since the establishment of rigid and ultra-centralised nation-states following World War I. Some change in the Arab perceptions of multiculturalism and minorities was visible in the recent revisions to the Arab Charter of Human Rights (its first version was created in 1994 to be updated in 2004 and came into force in 2008 when seven member of the League of Arab States ratified it. As of the end of 2014 it had been ratified by thirteen Arab states). Nevertheless, the Arab Spring has caught up the region in issues long denied, which has resulted in its substantial destabilisation. He is right to stress that a change in the Arab world in the areas of democracy and liberation can come only if various concerns of its minorities are properly addressed.
The volume edited by Kymlicka and Pföstl is a very good starting point for anybody interested in the issues of multiculturalism and minority rights in the Arab world. It has some fine observations, many detailed descriptions of different minority groups in the region and useful conceptual elaborations. At the same time, the complexity of identity politics in the region that comprises multiply geographies disrupts any singular analysis of minority rights and makes it impossible to fit into any volume. Some examples of the important issues that the books fails to address (mainly due to its limited size) are elaborations of the situation of the largest Christian minority in the region – the Egyptian Copts – or the place of Palestinian refugees and their right of return in regional politics. Moreover, the reviewed book is not as neatly organised as the one which started Kymlicka's comparative effort (Kymlicka, Opalski 2002), and more uneven with some repetitions. In spite of these minor shortcomings it is definitely a must-read for anybody seeking a better understanding of the complexities of this turbulent part of the world.
1 This assessment started most significantly with the publication of Can Liberal Pluralism be Exported? Western Political Theory and Ethnic Relations in Eastern Europe (Kymlicka, Opalski 2002) and followed with the publication of Ethnicity and Democracy in Africa (Berman, Eyoh, Kymlicka 2004) and Multiculturalism in Asia (Kymlicka, He 2005).
2 Except such countries as Comoros, Djibouti, Mauretania and Somalia, where Arabic is an official language but not a social majority language.
3 Some of the most important are: the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities (1992), the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), the Council of Europe's European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (1992), the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (1995) and UNESCO's Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001).
4 The millet system refers to the system of management of cultural diversity in the Ottoman Empire characterised by the existence of separate legal courts pertaining to personal law under which minorities were allowed to rule themselves (in cases not involving any Muslim) with fairly little interference from the central government.

Green Lantern #20 – Wrath of the First Lantern, the Epic Finale – "Special Oversized Anniversary Issue" Anniversary issue? When did issue 20 become an anniversary issue? It is oversized and a squarebound book. It even cost $7.99 that, given the 11 pages of Green Lantern ads and 10 pages of "Congratulations Geoff Johns" pages, seems to be really damn overpriced. The book actually starts in the future so that they can artificially inflate the story. You get a few pages of introducing new characters just to look into the Green Lantern book to see what happened. We pick up where we left off with Hal Jordan killing himself. He becomes a Black Lantern and then, along with all the other lanterns of all the colors attack the First Lantern. In the end, it takes Sinestro as Parallax and then Hal summoning Necron to take Volthoom down. Hal becomes a Green Lantern, Sinestro kills the "evil" Guardians (other than Ganthet), and then we get more fluff pages showing "the future" for all the major corps people. I mean, we know none of the people's futures will change, right? The story was generally interesting but the book seemed padded to have extra costs.
Green Lantern Corps #20 – Wrath of the First Lantern Epilogue – OK. Two week later, we finally get the end of the story and I could read the epilogue. Guy and Kilowog free Salaak who points him back to Earth where Xar is attacking his family. He tries to take a break with his family there but he just can't stick it out.
Green Lantern: New Guardians #20 – Wrath of the First Lantern Epilogue – After the battle, Kyle checks in on each of the members of the teams and then takes a break to be human again, doing art and visiting his father. After everything from the storyline, it's a nice change.
I know it's silly but it really made me laugh.
Teen Titans #20 – Cover headline: "Red Robin Reborn!" Guess who barely appears in the book? Yup, the Titans including Red Robin. The book is a background on Trigon and Raven. It's a cool story and very similar to her pre-New 52 life but has nothing to really do with Robin. Really, DC? At least make the cover relevant and not totally misleading.
Young Aveners #5 – We've spent 4 issues fighting the mom parasite and they finally find a solution: Run away. Yeah. That's it. The only way to defeat her is to be nowhere near their parents so they go off into space or something. *yawn* I'm a big fan of the Young Avengers but Wiccan, Hulkling, and Hawkeye are the only original members left. Iron Lad is elsewhere in time, Vision was destroyed, Stature was killed, and Patriot and Speed just left. That leaves less than half the old members and Noh-Varr, Loki, and Miss America don't fit as well. So, I guess I should say that I like the Young Avengers but I don't like the team in their title.
Now onto the Top 3. Things are a little better and there were 3 titles I enjoyed. I'm going to include Green Lantern Corps since I had to hold off and then add in Green Lantern: New Guardians and Scarlet Spider. It's bedtime so I'm not getting to the next week yet tho I do have them read. I'll be caught up soon.


Hi there! I've never heard of Pause Dream Enjoy... I'll have to bookmark it. In the meantime, thanks for adding this card to Shopping Our Stash! This snowy scene is definitely a cool stamp! Great card!
Lovely winter scene you've created Billie!

China may be heading for whitelist Internet
By Matthew Humphries 12.23.2009 :: 5:31AM EST 12.23.2009
@mthwgeek
It's a well-known fact that if the Chinese government does not like content found on the Internet then access to it is blocked. This can mean sites as large as YouTube going offline periodically just because a specific video or set of videos are seen as unacceptable.
There has also been an ill-fated attempt to force filtering software called Green Dam-Youth Escort on to every PC in China, an initiative the government eventually backed away from.
Now it looks as though the Chinese government has identified a simpler way to filter and control all content on the Internet. Instead of using a blacklist method, which sees websites banned when they are discovered to contain unacceptable content, a whitelist solution is being attempted. That would mean only content pre-approved by government would be seen by people in China meaning most of the Internet would remain effectively offline.
The whitelist system would be handled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) working closely with domain registrars. If you register a domain and want people to see it in China then you need the MIIT stamp of approval. It is also expected to be the case that foreign websites will require this approval giving China total control over what its people will see on the Internet. Filtering software will no longer be required.
The whitelist plans have been reported by local Chinese press which has led to a lot of anger. The government's response so far has been to shut down online services such as Twitter-alike t.people.com.cn which was full of angry tweets complaining about the plan.

Matthew's Opinion
This is terrible news for anyone living in China as it means they will effectively be cut off online from the outside world unless MIIT allows access to a site. There is nothing on a computer doing the filtering and therefore nothing that can be bypassed making it more difficult to access the "real" Internet.
Such a whitelist approach makes life much easier for the Chinese government to filter any and all information. I also doubt that popular sites like YouTube will be able to get MIIT approval due to the constantly changing content. Foreign news services will also most likely be blocked as they form an alternative view to what the Chinese government would like people to be reading.
No doubt some enterprising Chinese hackers will attempt to bypass such filtering and start playing a cat and mouse game with MIIT. If the whitelist can be bypassed effectively then millions of Chinese will no doubt attempt to do it.

Androids, algorithms, artificial intelligence: more than ever, A.I. is a hot-button issue in public debates. The scope of current approaches ranges from playful experiments like The Next Rembrandt (2016) to the sombre predictions of imminent singularity-induced apocalypse (Elon Musk or Stephen Hawking) or the controversial accounts of A.I. in publications by Thomas Runge (2018), Manuela Lenzen (2018), or Yuval Noah Harari (2015).
While literary and filmic visions of robotic machines, androids, and supercomputers have received ample attention, comics studies have lagged behind. Despite the proliferation of synthetic intelligent agents in all manner of graphic literature, the representation of artificial humans and algorithmic intelligence in sequential art has not received its scholarly due. This is bound to change with CLOSURE #6, which sets itself the goal of approaching the A.I.-shaped blind spot in current comics discourse.
We invite contributions that investigate robots, androids and cyborgs, transhumanism and forms of artificial intelligence in all manner of comics, manga, bandes dessinées or graphic novels. Possible objects (or subjects?) of inquiry include Astro Boy (1952-1968), Magnus, Robot Fighter (1963), 2001 Nights (1984-1986), Descender(2017), Pluto (2014), Symmetry (2016), Alex + Ada (2013-2015), Injection (2015-) or Lescheks Flug (2012). What is specific about the way comics approach these representations, and what sets apart A.I. in panels and sequences, images and texts? How can we relate medially particular, historical, systematic, or culturally specific observations to social, technological, political, ethical, or even mythological discourses? How do comics interact with the approaches to A.I. in disciplines like computer sciences, mathematics, linguistics, psychology, or information engineering?
Transhumanity and Posthumanity: How do current digital/electronic/biological developments impact the medium of comics?
Gödel, Escher, Astro Boy: How do comics take up and visualize recursion and self-reference in the context of A.I.? Which formal affordances does the comic offer to visualize/narrate/represent/inflect artificial intelligence or algorithmic processes? How do the forms of comics relate to concepts and visualisations of A.I. in the sciences?
Asimov's Laws: ethics and A.I.; moral implications, responsibility, the rights of A.I.
Utopias and Dystopias: scenarios of danger and fascination of an A.I.-based future; which types of cultural or civilizational criticism are presented?
(Non-)corporeality: how do comics visualize the materiality and embodiment of A.I.? What is it like to be an A.I., according to comics?
Please send your abstract for the open section or the thematic section (~ 3000 chars.) as well as a short bio-bibliographical blurb to closure@comicforschung.uni-kiel.de until January 25th, 2018.
The contributions (35.000-50.000 chars) are expected until March 30th, 2019.


"Druridge Bay Sunset Series 16a"
"Druridge Bay Driftwood, Debris and Blocks 30a"
Inspired by 30 years living and working on the Northumberland coast and now in the wilds of Redesdale, near Scottish Borders. Fascinated by patterns of sand on beach, piles of seaweed/driftwood order and chaos together. Images I create use a wide range of materials, sand, soil coal dust, driftwood are often embedded in paint surface[Antonio Tapies been Favourite for long time] I want paintings to be as natural as possible. Rarely use brush but finger, knife, trowel, sand, spray paints plus lots of builders materials to create impasto surfaces. Experimenting with Holographic foils in paint to simulate wonderful light in Northumberland. Moving to Redesdale I have been inspired and become aware of the interaction of man and nature, in the Otterburn Ranges military roads, bunkers and old tanks contrast with crags, quarries, moorland and forest to create a wonderful tapestry at different times of year. Rock strata, strange cloud formations, moody sunsets, reflections in rivers and Lakes have me rushing for sketch book or camera. "The Land of Far Horizons" Northumberland has light which enhances the tactile quality of the landscape no matter what the season. I hope my work stimulates a wide range of perceptions and feelings for this "Land of Far Horizons" Other influences/artists I admire include Turner, John Blockley, Andy Goldsworthy, Cezanne, Tapies and many more.


Whether we're outside working in the garden, hiking, or simply enjoying fine weather, we're slowly accumulating more and more UV rays from the sun. Sunlight is good for us, but only to an extent. We need the sun to help give us Vitamin D, but too much sun can cause problems down the road. If you've recently started feeling uneven patches on the skin, little slivers or patches of rough skin, then you may have actinic keratosis.
Actinic keratosis (also referred to as solar keratosis) forms when your skin is badly damaged by ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or indoor tanning. An actinic keratosis is generally a rough, crusty, or scaly patch of skin on a part of your body that has spend a lot of time in the sun. Many times, you'll develop more than one.
Actinic keratosis is technically precancerous, though many times we can catch and treat them before they become cancer. Around 6-10% of AKs can develop into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) if they are left untreated so, though the chances are slim, there is still a chance that one could turn into cancer.
We recommend removing them whenever possible, but it depends on you and your personal situation if removal is right for you. Removing the lesion before it becomes cancerous can prevent more invasive procedures, for example.
If you're looking to remove actinic keratosis, there are a few options. Chemical peels, Photodynamic Therapy, and topical medications can all be used to help treat and remove actinic keratosis. You may also opt for cryotherapy, and have the suspect lesion removed in a similar fashion to a wart or other problematic skin lesion.
Don't panic if you suspect that you have actinic keratosis. We can help identify and provide answers regarding your lesions so, if you or a loved one has recently found a scaly patch of skin, give us a call today to schedule a consultation. We can suggest a treatment that best fits your specific situation. Dial (403) 255-1633 for Dr. Todd Remington and (403) 252-7784 for Dr. Kent Remington.

And Raven's birthday requires that we take a moment to bask in the sun, and even if it's not sunny, it should be our job today to pretend the sun is shining! Her name is Raven, but Sunshine is her nickname, and we think it's appropriate.
Raven is our Records Technician, and she rocks her job. If you ask her what her favorite movie is, she'll tell you it's a tie between Dirty Dancing and Ghost, which obviously means she has a thing for Patrick Swayze. All we know is that this birthday had better be a good one for Raven.
Here's hoping that, "Nobody puts baby in a corner!" this birthday. Have the best birthday, Raven!

Shipping Giant's Profits Rise Five-Fold Amid Supply Chain Bottlenecks
Danish shipping firm Maersk has reported record pre-tax profits of $5.9bn for the July to September period, according to the BBC. This represents a five-fold increase compared to the same time last year, and a 68% jump in revenue. The cargo freight firm handles nearly 20% of the world's shipping containers, making it the largest shipping company in the world.
As the world struggles with a global logjam in the supply chain, shipping companies have been able to charge record prices. The Japanese freight line Ocean Network Express has also reported huge net profits of $4.2bn for the last quarter, representing an eight-fold increase year on year.
The extra consumer demand which is putting a strain on the system shows no sign of slowing down as we approach the Christmas period. Congestion at ports means that delivery times are longer, and there is a shortage of available shipping containers. There are currently around 300 cargo vessels queuing outside ports in the US, China, and Europe.
In the UK and some parts of Europe, there are also not enough HGVs available to distribute the freight, due to the ongoing shortage of drivers. The Chief Executive of Maersk, Soren Skou, said that his firm was attempting to tackle the backlog by chartering extra ships, increasing port operating hours, and opening more warehouses.
Despite Mr Skou telling the BBC that Christmas trade will be unaffected by delays, other sources remain cautious. Online giant Amazon has announced that it is spending 'several billion dollars' to deal with the supply chain issue in the run up to Christmas.
Apple boss Tim Cook has also admitted the firm is losing sales, and he expects the problems to persist over the festive period. His company have been hit particularly hard by the shortage of semiconductor chips, which it uses for many of its products.

Children should begin to see a pediatric dentist from the time that their first teeth begin to develop. This is known as teasing, and it means that a child's first teeth are coming through the gums. Even if these teeth are not fully formed yet, it's important that a pediatric dentist is there to make sure that they are developing normally and that any initial issues with their teeth is treated as soon as possible. A child's dental health will have a huge impact on their future dental health as well, which is why pediatric care is so important. Here with our kid's dentist in Bergenfield, Noam Kranz, DMD, your child can benefit from comprehensive exams, cleanings, and they can also have other dental services performed if they need them, including procedures such as dental fillings, tooth extractions, or even dental sealants applied.
Taking care of your child's dental health is important, so it's vital that you remember to schedule biannual exams for your child as well as for everyone else in your family. If your family is overdue for a dental exam, call our kids dentist in Bergenfield, Noam Kranz, DMD, today.

Stock market seeing coronavirus relief, vaccine, divided government: Former NYSE CEO
in Closing Bell Story / Finance by— Oil & Gas 360
December 4, 2020	Share Print
Former New York Stock Exchange Chairman Dick Grasso weighed in on the market's recent records on Thursday telling "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," he thinks Wall Street is factoring in a coronavirus vaccine, more fiscal relief and a divided government.
"What the market is saying is, 'We're looking to a COVID relief package before the Congress goes out, we're looking to very effective vaccination program, looking to a divided government,' hopefully as a result of the Georgia runoffs, the Senate will remain in the hands of the Republicans," Grasso told host Neil Cavuto.
He then noted that "a divided government has always been good for the market."
Georgia's two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, are the candidates seeking re-election in the January 5 runoff elections, which will determine control of the Senate.
The balance of power for the next Senate coming out of this month's elections is 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats, which means Democrats must win both of Georgia's runoff elections to make it a 50-50 Senate. If that occurs, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would be the tie-breaking vote, giving her party a razor-thin majority in the chamber.
With regards to a COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna is the latest contender to announce the filing of emergency use authorization for its coronavirus vaccine.
The company said it expects to have up to 20 million doses available by the end of 2020, and up to 1 billion doses available globally in 2021. The shot, which is a two-dose jab, would be ready to ship within weeks of approval, according to the company.
Pfizer has already filed for the emergency authorization and the FDA plans to decide early this month. AstraZeneca has also indicated that it is preparing to file an emergency use authorization.
This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embraced a bipartisan $908 billion coronavirus relief deal as the starting point for negotiations with Republicans, a major concession that comes as Congress struggles to send aid to Americans before the end of the year.
In a joint statement, the Democratic leaders, who for months have refused to go below $2.2 trillion, signaled they were open to a smaller bill as outside pressure builds on lawmakers to strike a deal.
All the positive news seems to be impacting U.S. equity markets, which climbed into record territory this week, even with coronavirus cases surging in states across the country and with governors implementing new restrictions and lockdowns in an effort to curb the spread.
On Thursday, U.S. equity markets rose as the Dow Jones Industrial Average reclaimed the 30,000 level after weekly jobless claims declined and as Congress grapples over COVID-19 aid.
The Dow hit the milestone 30,000 level for the first time on November 24.
Grasso stressed on Thursday that he believes the market is factoring in a divided government and "a president that's going to have to work with both sides of the aisle and who will not be held hostage to the socialist tendencies coming from both members of the Senate and House on the Democrat side."

In this interview, Paul Miller spoke with CW Bulletin executive editor Natasha Nicholson about the shift to the digital workplace, what's leading it, the challenges and benefits it presents, and the importance of having a physical office or meet-ups to prevent employees from becoming isolated. Listen to the podcast or read the transcript.
Work addiction, isolation, death of the office – and that's for starters!


If I had to choose how Game of Thrones ends, I would get the White Walkers to destroy everything while the characters were too busy bickering over control of one another's territories. (But hey, I'm a little cynical.) But since none of us is George R.R. Martin, we're only left to speculate—even the people playing his characters on HBO.
Entertainment Weekly asked six of the show's stars how they wanted the story to end while they were on the set. The answers were all over the place.
Sophie Turner said Sansa would probably want herself on the throne with Littlefinger as the hand to the queen, and Maisie Williams wants her character, Arya, to "rise to the top." Natalie Dormer wants the eventual daughter of Margaery Tyrell and Tommen Baratheon to be queen, and Lena Headey just wants Cersei to hang out with the Red Priestess and reanimate all her dead children. Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth, wants every single character to be killed off on the way up the throne, incinerated by dragons, and then Westeros will have a chance to rebuild.
"I get to Westeros, riding on the back of my dragon, and we hang a right past Hollywood, and we pick up a few beautiful men to jump on the dragon with me, and then we pick up the throne, and we take that throne and the beautiful men and we take it to the Caribbean. We plant that throne in the Caribbean and we just chill out."
Do you hear that, HBO executives? After all she's been through, Dany deserves a tropical vacation.

Atlantic's revenue drops but press is 'confident' of 2017 profit
Published November 28, 2017 by Lisa Campbell
Atlantic's revenue dropped in 2016 following a 20% slump in e-book sales, but the indie publisher's managing director has said the firm is on course to make a profit this year for the first time since 2009.
Atlantic's revenue in 2016 was £5.5m, down by £0.5m year-on- year, while losses grew to £600,000, from £168,000 the year before.
However, with only December left to go before the end of the year, Atlantic's managing director Will Atkinson said he expected the publisher to make a profit for the first time in eight years in 2017.
He said: "We are on the classic three-year turnaround. It...


Prof of Architecture Merritt Bucholz will conduct a public interview of two architecture critics, Kazys Varnelis from New York and Irénée Scalbert from London, about the future of Limerick. The talk will be conducted as a discussion between two well-known and respected internationally based architecture critics who have been teaching in Limerick for over five years. The event will not only be an interesting discussion, it will connect Limerick to the global discussion and to bring insight to the issues Limerick faces.
Irénée Scalbert trained at the Architectural Association in London in the late 1970s. After several years in practice, he returned to the AA in 1989 to run a design studio. From 2000, he was Course Master in history and theory at the AA. As a critic, he has been associated with architects including Tony Fretton, Caruso St John, Dutch architects in the mid 1990s and FOA. As a historian, he has written articles on architecture in the 1950s, notably on the Smithsons, as well as essays on the Rococo and on landscape painting. He is the author of A Right to Difference: The Architecture of Jean Renaudie, commended in the CICA Exhibition Catalogue Award 2005. Since 1998, he has been a member of the editorial board of AA Files. He is a regular guest lecturer and is running a course on European architecture at the GSD in Harvard. Since 2007 Irénée is teaching history and theory of architecture at SAUL.

CRA rules that a palliative care facility could only qualify for the (enhanced) PSB rebate once it commenced operations
11 January 2022 - 11:36pm
A registered charity (not qualifying as a hospital authority) which currently operated a palliative care facility and had applied for and received the public service bodies rebate (of 83% of its GST costs) for the period after its commencement of operation, also applied for that rebate (rather than only the "ordinary" charity rebate of 50%) regarding its costs incurred during the construction period. It argued that it had acquired property and services during the construction period for the purpose of making eligible facility supplies (i.e., very broadly, exempt health care services provided under practitioners' supervision).
In ruling against this claim, CRA noted that the definition of qualifying facility for a fiscal year included a requirement that the supplies of services ordinarily rendered "during that fiscal year" qualified as facility supplies, so that the facility did not qualify during the pre-opening phase.

Current: Lucifer's Henderson & Garbett team up f…
Lucifer's Henderson & Garbett team up for gravity-defying new series in SKYWARD
"Skyward is a great new series with a great hook and jaw-dropping artwork by Lee Garbett. Highly recommended!" —Jeff Lemire
Writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of Fox's Lucifer) and artist Lee Garbett (Lucifer, Loki: Agent of Asgard) team up for an all-new gravity-defying series in SKYWARD.
Writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of Fox's Lucifer) and artist Lee Garbett (Lucifer, Loki: Agent of Asgard) team up for an all-new gravity-defying series in SKYWARD. The new series is set to launch this April.
"Skyward is my all of my favorite things mashed together," said Henderson. "It's a coming-of-age story filled with action and humor, devastation and hope. It explores a world turned upside down, where anyone can leap tall buildings with a single bound… but if you jump too high, you die. And getting to see Lee Garbett bring it to glorious life is a dream come true."
In SKYWARD, gravity on Earth suddenly becomes a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality. For one Willa Fowler—a woman born just after the fateful "G-day"—life after gravity it pretty awesome. Until she accidentally stumbles into a dangerous plan to bring gravity back. A plan that could get her killed…
Garbett added: "When I first read the pitch for Skyward it felt like fate had had a hand in putting it my way. Like it had been written for me and designed to push all my buttons. Joe Henderson's script—as well as that killer high-concept—was so rich, his characters so warm and full of life, that I was hooked and holding on to this baby with both hands like it was chained to the ground on G-Day. I hope the readers will have the same experience."
SKYWARD is an adventure-filled exploration of our world turned upside down and a young woman's journey to find her place in it.
SKYWARD #1 (Diamond Code FEB180510) and will be available on Wednesday, April 18th. The final order cutoff for retailers is Monday, March 26th.

As a teacher or parent, you know how often children complain about someone calling them names, and it's such a difficult thing to deal with on the spot. Children are often deeply upset by name calling.
Name calling is also called labelling. When a child is labelled by another child or an adult, the child feels like it has changed them and the whole of them is now the label. They absorb so much from their surroundings, as though they are without filters to filter out the opinions of others. They may start to believe they are the label and call themselves this label in their inner talk or outer talk.
Even labels that seem harmless, like 'good boy' or 'good girl', actually put children on the scales of worth, and we know that scales go up and down. Children who feel that they are on the high side of the scales often become anxious that they will make a mistake and drop to the low side. Children who feel that they are on the low side of the scales often experience depression.
Self-acceptance is much safer than self-worth as a concept. May you share the ideas in this book with your children, help them stay off the scales of worth, and teach them self-acceptance.

Cardiff City Programme Notes
Home News Cardiff City Programme Notes
Today we hear from Roger Titford – STAR Board member
This could be my last turn at writing the STAR programme notes this season – and it will be if we don't make the play-offs. It feels strange writing notes for a non-existent programme but there's plenty odd about this season that will go down in history.
Reaching the play-offs is now out of our hands but we must keep going and hope that the form of one or more of our rivals collapses while we collect four or five wins from the last five games. In my long time as a supporter we have ended the season on that kind of bullish run several times before.
But this will be the first season since 1962-63, and my first year at primary school,l that I haven't seen a single home match. There have only been three opportunities to view live though, and I missed them all. But like several thousand other supporters I haven't turned totally plastic. I've only missed following one game, home or away, thanks to a combination of i-Follow, Sky, red button and BT Sport, not to mention the accompanying commentaries from BBC Radio Berkshire and elsewhere.
Those who've done similarly have been able to follow the sudden and thrilling emergence of Michael Olise and Omar Richards and the enormous strides made by Tom McIntyre and Tom Holmes, not to mention the goals of Lucas Joao and the skills of Ovie Ejaria. As a watch, even if distanced and virtual, 2020-21 has been pretty good for URZ and fingers crossed we could still bring it to a dramatic conclusion. But we really do need three points today – hard to say whether it's afternoon or evening with a curious 6pm kick-off time!
One thing's for certain at least – we've guaranteed our place in the top two divisions for the 20th consecutive season – our 150th anniversary season of 2021-22. That of course is a club record, our next longest stint being the five seasons in Division Two from 1926-27. Taking the longer-term view, this era – not so bad at all!

Views sought on Gaelic Language Plan for CNPA
The Cairngorms National Park has a rich history associated with Gaelic – it being the dominant language in the area over 1,000 years ago – and now the Cairngorms National Park Authority wants your views on how the organisation should use and develop the Gaelic language in its day to day work.
All public sector bodies in Scotland are required to prepare a Gaelic Language Plan and this is to ensure that everyone plays their part in creating a sustainable future for Gaelic in Scotland.
The CNPA's second Gaelic Language Plan is now out for consultation and any members of the public or interested bodies are asked to view the document and make comments. The Gaelic Language Plan sets out how the Park Authority will use and develop Gaelic in its everyday work and how the organisation will enable and promote the use of Gaelic when communicating with members of the public and key partners. This includes areas of work such as online communications, the Park Authority's visual identity, support for related projects in the Park as well as marketing and staff training.
CNPA Convener Peter Argyle said: "The Cairngorms is an area proud of its cultural and linguistic diversity but Gaelic is of particular significance especially when you consider how the language resonates throughout the Park, for example through the names of the hills we like to climb or the names of the villages we live in.
"As an organisation we recognise that the position of Gaelic is fragile and we are happy to play our part in ensuring its survival because the language is important historically and culturally to the Park. However, we do need feedback, especially from those people out there who are passionate about the language, so please do get involved."
A six week public consultation on the CNPA's Gaelic Language Plan starts this week. The document can be viewed and commented on via the CNPA website, or can be viewed in the Authority's offices in Grantown-on-Spey and in libraries and council service points throughout the Park. For more information please contact Francoise van Buuren on tel: 01479 873535.

Jerry The bad thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you're doing. Did you ever see anybody on TV like just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs on their face? Some people have a little too much fun on television: the soda commercial people - where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? "We have soda, we have soda, we have soda", jumping, laughing, flying through the air - it's a can of soda. Have you ever been standing there and you're watching TV and you're drinking the exact same product that they're advertising right there on TV, and it's like, you know, they're spiking volleyballs, jetskiing, girls in bikinis and I'm standing there - "Maybe I'm putting too much ice in mine."

Die Military Wives sind ein im Jahre 2011 von dem Fernsehmoderator Gareth Malone im Rahmen seiner Sendung The Choir: Military Wives gegründeter britischer Frauenchor. Er bestand 2011 aus Frauen und Freundinnen von Angehörigen der British Army aus den Kasernen der Königlichen Marinebasis in Chivenor und der Kaserne in der Royal Citadel von Plymouth, die im Krieg in Afghanistan Dienst leisteten. Danach hatten sich auf der Marinebasis Portsmouth, dem Commando Training Centre der Royal Marines in Lympstone und der Catterick Garnison im Norden Englands, drei weitere Chöre gebildet. Die letzten drei genannten Chöre brachten auch das Album In My Dreams unter dem Namen Military Wives heraus.

Beschreibung
Den ersten öffentlichen Auftritt hatte der Chor am 12. November 2011 im Rahmen der The Royal British Legion's Remembrance Parade in der Royal Albert Hall im Beisein von Königin Elisabeth II. Als erste Single erschien am 19. Dezember 2011 Wherever You Are, eine Coverversion einer Aufnahme von Paul Mealor. Alle Einnahmen aus dem Verkauf gehen an die Royal British Legion und die SSAFA Forces Help. Eine begleitende Kampagne, die auch von BBC Radio 2 unterstützt wird, versucht, die Single zum Sieger im Rennen um den prestigeträchtigen Platz 1 in den britischen Singlecharts in der Weihnachtswoche zu machen. Noch vor der Veröffentlichung brach die Single in Großbritannien den Rekord als am meisten vorbestellte Musikaufnahme. Nach Auskunft des Großhändlers Amazon wurden dreimal mehr Kopien vorbestellt als von dem Album Progress der Band Take That.

Beim Diamond Jubilee Concert anlässlich des 60. Thronjubiläums von Königin Elisabeth II. wurde 2012 das Lied Sing von Gary Barlow & The Commonwealth Band aufgenommen, bei dem die Military Wives mitwirkten.

Am 27. Juli 2012 sang der Chor bei der offiziellen Eröffnungsfeier der Olympischen Sommerspiele von London die Nationalhymne des Vereinigten Königreiches God Save the Queen. Bis Juli 2012 haben sich an weiteren Standorten annähernd 50 weitere Chöre unter dem Namen Military Wives gebildet.

Fantastic! I had this for an anniversary dinner and it was great. I highly recommend it.
A perfect spring/summer drink. I also floated small scoops (made with a melon ball tool) of peach sorbet on the top.

Address: 5th Avenue and Broadway, New York, NY
Daniel Burnham, Frederick Dinkelberg
About the Building
The Flatiron Building is a landmark in New York City - its distinctive triangular shape, prominent location, and extensive ornamentation have made it one of the most recognized buildings in the city.
The building is covered with Italian Renaissance terra cotta ornament.
The little pointed extension at the corner is known as the cowcatcher.
One reason the building is notable is that it's an early New York example of steel-frame construction.
Even before the building went up, the site was known as the Flatiron ("Eno's flatiron", after the owner, Amos Eno).
Originally, the building was known as the Fuller Building; it held offices for the Fuller Construction Company. When it was built in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City.
Other early tenants included the publisher of American Architect and Building News.
The roof sculpture was added in 2002 to mark the building's 100-year anniversary.
Today, the building houses publishing companies, including Macmillan. There are plans to turn it into a luxury hotel.

Absolutely recomend - fatastic wines, knowledgable staff and scenery to die for! Highly recomended!
The most beautiful vineyard in the state!The new owners lost their wine maker about 3 months into the venture so Logan Leet began making the wine and has since been winning awards across the nation. You have to go by for a visit when you are near Frankfort!!
Favorite Wine: probably the "G"
Young lady on staff that day knew her stuff! Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines.
Norton Wine Review: We literally "rolled" through the countryside to Lover's Leap Vineyard. With a name sake like that, we braced ourselves for the encounter. Well, here came the surprise of the day, a host that not only knew something about grapes and wine production, but honestly was in love with and proud of their products. The family had just bought one year ago the entire vineyard wine production facility and already wanted to make a distinction between wines past and wines current. Kentucky will have a bright wine future with such efforts as being put forth by Lover's Leap Vineyards. Not only did we slip effortlessly into their Vidal Blanc, but found their current Norton wine, a product of only one year's work with grapes collected two years ago, a pleasant surprise which will hopefully mature nicely in the bottle over the next couple years. A soft, easy to taste Norton wine which made us smile with the realization that there is someone serious about wine production in Kentucky. We are glad we made the effort to wander the back roads of Kentucky to find this picturesque setting.
Out in the country but worth the trip. Very nice winery. Even went to a wedding there in 2008.

Q: Python: Parsing a colon delimited file with various counts of fields I'm trying to parse a a few files with the following format in 'clientname'.txt
hostname:comp1
time: Fri Jan 28 20:00:02 GMT 2011
ip:xxx.xxx.xx.xx
fs:good:45
memory:bad:78
swap:good:34
Mail:good

Each section is delimited by a : but where lines 0,2,6 have 2 fields... lines 1,3-5 have 3 or more fields. (A big issue I've had trouble with is the time: line, since 20:00:02 is really a time and not 3 separate fields.
I have several files like this that I need to parse. There are many more lines in some of these files with multiple fields.
...
for i in clients:
if os.path.isfile(rpt_path + i + rpt_ext):          # if the rpt exists then do this
    rpt = rpt_path + i + rpt_ext
    l_count = 0
    for line in open(rpt, "r"):
        s_line = line.rstrip()
        part = s_line.split(':')
        print part
        l_count = l_count + 1
else:                                               # else break
    break

First I'm checking if the file exists first, if it does then open the file and parse it (eventually) As of now I'm just printing the output (print part) to make sure it's parsing right.
Honestly, the only trouble I'm having at this point is the time: field. How can I treat that line specifically different than all the others? The time field is ALWAYS the 2nd line in all of my report files.

A: split method has the following syntax split(   [sep [,maxsplit]]) and if the maxsplit is given, it will make maxsplit+1 parts. In you case, you just have give maxsplit as 1. Just split(':',1) would solve your problem.

A: If time is a special case, you could do:
[...]
s_line = line.rstrip()
if line.startswith('time:'):
    part = s_line.split(':', 1)
else:
    part = s_line.split(':')
print part
[...]

This would give you:
['hostname', 'comp1']
['time', ' Fri Jan 28 20:00:02 GMT 2011']
['ip', 'xxx.xxx.xx.xx']
['fs', 'good', '45']
['memory', 'bad', '78']
['swap', 'good', '34']
['Mail', 'good']

And doesn't rely on the position of time in the file.

A: Design considerations:
Robustly handle extraneous whitespace, including blank lines, and missing colons.
Extract a record_type, which is then used to decide how to parse the remainder of the line.
>>> def munched(s, n=None):
...     if n is None:
...         n = 99999999 # this kludge should not be necessary
...     return [x.strip() for x in s.split(':', n)]
...
>>> def parse_line(line):
...     if ':' not in line:
...         return [line.strip(), '']
...     record_type, remainder = munched(line, 1)
...     if record_type == 'time':
...         data = [remainder]
...     else:
...         data = munched(remainder)
...     return record_type, data
...
>>> for guff in """
... hostname:comp1
... time: Fri Jan 28 20:00:02 GMT 2011
... ip:xxx.xxx.xx.xx
... fs:good:45
...     memory   :    bad   :   78
... missing colon
... Mail:good""".splitlines(True):
...    print repr(guff), parse_line(guff)
...
'\n' ['', '']
'hostname:comp1\n' ('hostname', ['comp1'])
'time: Fri Jan 28 20:00:02 GMT 2011\n' ('time', ['Fri Jan 28 20:00:02 GMT 2011'])
'ip:xxx.xxx.xx.xx\n' ('ip', ['xxx.xxx.xx.xx'])
'fs:good:45\n' ('fs', ['good', '45'])
'    memory   :    bad   :   78    \n' ('memory', ['bad', '78'])
'missing colon\n' ['missing colon', '']
'Mail:good' ('Mail', ['good'])
>>>

A: If the time field always the 2nd line. Why can't you skip it and parse it separately?
Something like
for i, line in enumerate(open(rpt, "r").read().splitlines()):
    if i==1: # Special parsing for time: line
        data = line[5:]
    else:
        # your normal parsing logic

A fresh report from CBRE predicted that the Vancouver market will suffer accelerated price growth in the very near future, as the city's supply of industrial space is unable to cope with current and projected levels of demand.
The Q4 market review of Vancouver's industrial real estate sector warned that the city, along with Burnaby and Richmond, has only less than 10 years of land supply left for industrial purposes. Clients who might have normally considered Vancouver are now looking for space in Surrey and Delta, CBRE said.
"It's definitely been the trend in the last three years that demand has outpaced supply almost two-to-one," CBRE senior vice president (industrial and logistics) Chris MacCauley stated in the report, as quoted by the Vancouver Sun.
Industrial leasing space vacancy rates declined to 2.4 per cent at the end of 2016, the lowest since 2007. Year-over-year, sales grew by 9 per cent, up to a record-breaking $1.2 billion.
Meanwhile, the average property price increased by 13 per cent, up to $195 per square foot in Metro Vancouver.

Hard-edged and hard to find
Mark R. Van Wagenen | Elgin, Illinois USA | 09/12/2003
"Before ARS became a mainstream pop band in the late 70s, they released "Red Tape". It's out of print and hard to find, but worth the effort if you're a fan. You will certainly recognize Ronnie Hammond's smooth vocals, Dean Daughtry's keyboards and producer Buddy Buie's way of doing things, but this album has some rawer cuts that might surprise some casual fans. The track that best explains that is "Another Man's Woman", an almost 10-minute exercise in pure guitar power, highlighted by Paul Goddard's incredible bass solo (this was played frequently by a guy on my dorm floor back in college, who turned me on to the band) Other good tracks are "Jukin" and "Oh What a Feeling". So if you are a die-hard ARS fan, do what it takes to get this CD and play it loud."


In this paper, we propose SUbsequence Matching framework with cell MERgence (SUMMER) for online subsequence matching between histogram-based stream synopsis structures under the dynamic time warping distance. Given a query synopsis pattern, SUMMER continuously identifies all the matching subsequences for a stream as the bins are generated. To effectively reduce the computation time, we design a Weighted Dynamic Time Warping (WDTW) algorithm, which computes the warping distance directly between two histogram-based synopses. Furthermore, a Stack-based Overlapping Filter Algorithm (SOFA) is provided to remove the overlapping subsequences to avoid the redundant information. Finally, we design an optional refinement module to relax the subsequence range limit and improve the matching accuracy. Our experiments on real datasets show that the proposed method significantly speeds up the pattern matching without compromising the accuracy required when compared with other approaches.
Unfortunately, a general subsequence matching algorithm on histogram-based synopsis is yet to be developed. The original DTW computation is designed to handle time series with regular time intervals while each bin of a histogram-based synopsis stream may have various time spans. Of course we may convert each histogram bin to consecutive data points of the same value at fixed intervals and use the original DTW computation to compute the warping distance. However, such a method is obviously not efficient in a streaming environment since it is contrary to the original intent of reducing the size of data to be processed by constructing synopsis. Although there exist algorithms for subsequence matching on synopsis streams of equal-width bins such as, applying them directly on synopsis streams of arbitrary-width bins causes either accuracy loss or efficiency degradation. This motivates us to design a general subsequence matching algorithm that can deal with histogram-based synopsis streams of arbitrarywidth bins.
Our goal is to design an online algorithm that can identify all non-overlapped subsequences satisfying a given distance threshold with minimized delays. In an online streaming environment, some applications require to continuously monitor whether there are similar instances in the evolving stream. In such applications, we may prefer to make range queries for subsequence matching rather than to use top one search. The range query aims to find all similar but nonoverlapping subsequences to the query pattern exceeding a given distance threshold. The non-overlapping requirement is a useful criteria for removing redundant subsequences because the overlapped subsequences usually indicate the same instance with little time shift. Note that the nonoverlapping examination may introduce the extra delay in reporting qualified subsequences. In light of this concern, the proposed algorithm should report these subsequences within an acceptable delay.
