Epson OS X driver update available on Web
Macworld	 Apr 18, 2001 5:00 pm PDT
Users of Mac OS X and Epson printers may be interested to know that the Epson printer driver update, originally available as part of Apple's Mac OS X update, is available for download from Apple's Web site.
The printer driver update is listed on a Tech Info Library document posted to Apple's Web site as version 1.0, but the Software Update system preference in Mac OS X itself defines the update as version 1.1 instead.
According to both sources, the new Epson printer driver update now enables printing for the Japanese language.
In related documentation, Apple advises that users who have not yet applied the Mac OS X 10.0.1 update should do so prior to installing these new drivers. The Software Update system preference software should also be updated to version 1.3.1 — if you've applied previous updates using Software Update, this has probably already happened.
Apple's Web site contains links to downloads localized in North American English, International English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Japanese. Please visit the Apple Tech Info Library for more details.

Paul Thomas Anderson hints at Lil Jon reference in The Master
By Lily Puckett
Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for Palm Springs International Film Festival, Theo Wargo/Getty Images for iHeart- Power 105.1
Director Paul Thomas Anderson did a Twitter Q&A for his latest movie Phantom Thread on Tuesday afternoon, where he appeared to answer a longstanding question about his 2012 film The Master. In one scene in the movie, which is roughly based off the L. Ron Hubbard's climb to power, a belittled Joaquin Phoenix is forced to walk from the window of a room to the wall, over and over and over again. Many fans have pointed out that the scene is a visual representation Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz's smash hit "Get Low."
Released in 2002, the song famously implores its listener, in this case Joaquin Phoenix, to take up an entire space, from the window to the wall. When pressed on whether the scene was in fact referencing the song, Anderson suggested it really was by responding "Finally!"

He also answered a few questions about his longterm partner Maya Rudolph, correctly named the best Leonardo DiCaprio performance, and described shooting the video for Radiohead's "Daydreaming."
"We shot for 3days," he told a fan. "we went to a neighrhood here in la. and went from house to house to house on a long street. then we went to the beach. then we went to some more locations. the next day we went downtown &walked through a million more doors and then we went to l. tahoe."
You can the watch the scene from The Master set to its intended music below.

Manchester: And what else happened this week? A round-up of the rest of the news in brief.
Capita plc said in an interim statement that it has made an encouraging start to 2012 with Q1 turnover 17% ahead of Q1 2011, mainly due to the additional revenue from acquisitions undertaken during 2011 as well as good progress across the Group's businesses. It has had a successful period in bidding for new contracts, winning a total of £900m major sales opportunities in the first 16 weeks of the year (full year 2011: £2.0bn), whilst its bid pipeline remains strong, particularly across the central and local government markets. The firm has acquired 6 complementary businesses in the period, and since its preliminary results announcement in February, it says it is seeing a greater number of acquisition opportunities which could add further value.
KPMG Europe LLP's Information Protection and Business Resilience practice was awarded the Information Security Consultancy of the Year by SC Magazine, the second year running that KPMG has won the award.

Youngs on Europe's Relationship with Russia and Ukraine
Europe's relationship with its eastern frontier is at a turning point. Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Crimea in 2014, and the ensuing crisis in Ukraine, has forced the EU to reevaluate its relationship with its eastern neighbors. The heady, post Cold War optimism of a single free Europe has confronted cold, hard reality. Carnegie Senior Fellow Richard Youngs joins Tom Carver for a conversation about his new book, Europe's Eastern Crisis: The Geopolitics of Asymmetry, to discuss how reality is threatening the fundamental principles of the European order.
Richard Youngs has authored eleven books. His most recent works are Europe's Eastern Crisis: The Geopolitics of Asymmetry (Cambridge University Press, 2017), The Puzzle of Non-Western Democracy (Carnegie, 2015), and Europe in the New Middle East (Oxford University Press, 2014). He has held positions in the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and as an EU Marie Curie fellow.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The No.1 Ohio State men's gymnastics team will play host to No. 2 California and No. 4 Oklahoma in a tri-meet at 7 p.m. Friday at St. John Arena.
The Buckeyes then travel to Lincoln, Neb., where they will face No. 8 Nebraska at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Bob Davaney Sports Center.
California is led by junior and senior co-captains Graham Ackerman and David Eaton. The Golden Bears boast freshman R.J. Heflin, who was the lone gymnast competing for the Golden Bears in the event finals at the USA Winter Cup Challenge. Heflin finished the meet fifth on pommel horse. Eaton was the top all-around competitor for California, as he finished the competition 25th overall.
Earlier in the season California faced Stanford and Air Force in a tri-meet in which the Golden Bears finished first with a score of 216.625. During the competition, Ackerman completed the meet with a personal record of 9.75 on vault.
At the Pacific Coast Classic, the Golden Bears were the top squad out of eight teams, compiling a team score of 216.20. California's team score was 12 points better than second-place Stanford's 203.875.
Largely credited with developing the California men's gymnastics program into a top competitive team, Barry Weiner led the Golden Bears to national championships in 1997 and 1998, a total of six Top 5 national finishes and five NCAA individual championships in his 12 seasons at Cal.
The results of Weiner's work first paid dividends in 1997 when he was named National Coach of the Year after leading the Bears to a perfect 17-0 regular season and the team's first NCAA team title since 1975. The next year Cal swept through the entire 1998 season without a loss en route to its second-consecutive team championship.
Following the 1998 campaign, Weiner was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year for the third time (1993, 1995, 1998) and National Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year. Including the 10-2 regular season of 2003, Weiner's career record stands at an impressive 181-47-1 (.793) spanning over the last dozen years.
The Buckeyes and the Golden Bears last met in March of 1996 during the. Ohio State won the eight team competition with a score of 229.50.
Former Buckeye Blaine Wilson won the all-around competition and won the top spot on parallel bars (9.80) and high bar (9.85).
The all-time series is tied 3-3.
The two-time defending national champion Oklahoma Sooners have compiled 43 wins in a row, including 28 consecutive victories on the road. Led by junior David Henderson, sophomore Jamie Henderson, junior Josh Gore and senior Heath Muller, the Sooners have been named NCAAsports.com Team Spotlight of the Week. Earlier in 2004, co-captain Muller and David Henderson also were named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnasts of the Week.
At the Rocky Mountain Open, Oklahoma claimed first place, out of four teams, scoring 211.40. Every team member competing in team events qualified for the individual events competition with 10 gymnasts finishing in the Top 6.
In their dual meet season opener, the Sooners defeated Air Force, 217.650-195.275. David Henderson, an All-American on rings and a senior co-captain posted a career high all-around score of 54.125.
Mark Williams was named head coach of Oklahoma in 2000 and produced immediate results with the Sooners winning the 2002 and 2003 national championships.
Williams has guided the Sooners to five conference titles, in addition to being named Coach of the Year by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation four times. Williams also has been named NCAA National Coach of the Year twice, including in 2003. As the first coach in NCAA history to win two national titles in his first four years as head coach, Williams reached the 90-win plateau (93-7 career) faster than any other coach in NCAA history and owns the highest winning percentage of any active NCAA coach at 93 percent. Williams' squad has compiled a NCAA best winning streak of 43 consecutive meets, including 28 on the road and 15 at home.
Leading the series, 10-6, Ohio State looks to halt the Sooners' 43-game winning streak. Last season, Oklahoma won the tri-meet competition against Ohio State and Stanford, 222.5-218.15-211.025, in Norman, Okla., at the Lloyd Noble Center.
During the 2003 meet, OSU topped Oklahoma on floor, 36.25-35.55. The Buckeyes posted a then-season high 37.30 on rings, while individually Kerry Adderly (Jr., Orlando, Fla.) took first place on floor with a 9.35. On vault, Randy Monahan posted a 9.4 to finish first.
The Cornhuskers are paced by junior Mace Patterson, who has set four personal records in 2004. Patterson was the only Cornhusker to compete at the Winter Cup Challenge. During the West Point Open, he finished first on high bar with a career high 9.6. Patterson also finished first on pommel horse at the meet.
Senior captain Josh Rasile is undefeated on vault in 2004 and helped guide Nebraska to a second-place finish (210.90) at the West Point Open out of nine teams.
Nebraska posted a team season high score of 213.975 at the Rocky Mountain Open to place fourth. During the meet, Rasile continued his dominance on vault, finishing first with a score of 9.3.
In his 35th year as head coach of Nebraska, Francis Allen has coached the Cornhuskers to eight NCAA team titles, along with seven runner-up finishes. Allen has been a part of a gymnastics program that has guided 41 student-athletes to a NCAA individual title as well. As the Director of Nebraska Gymnastics and the College Gymnastics Association president, Allen has coached 11 Olympians, in addition to winning 14 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation conference titles.
A three-time national coach of the year (1979-1981), Francis' Cornhuskers appeared in 17 consecutive NCAA championships between 1979-1995. Nebraska, under the tutelage of Francis, has made 22 of 28 NCAA appearances, advancing to the team finals on 16 occasions.
With a 220.50-212.85 victory over Nebraska in 2003, the Buckeyes tied the all-time series against the Cornhuskers. In the match-up last year, the Buckeyes' score was a national-high and the squad won every event and set season highs on all but vault to score 4.65 more points than their previous high (215.85) set in a dual match at Illinois Feb. 1, 2003.
Randy Monahan compiled an all-around score of 54.0, which was a then-career high.
A Buckeye took first on every event except rings. Kerry Adderly set career highs on all of his events and placed first in four- floor (9.45), vault (9.5), parallel bars (9.05) and high bar (9.45).
Kip Simons, a former gymnast at Ohio State between 1991-1994 returns to his alma mater when the California Golden Bears travel to Columbus to face Ohio State. Simons, a 1996 graduate of OSU was named Big Ten freshman of the year in 1991 and was awarded team captain honors his senior year. Simons was a Nissen-Emery Award recipient and the OSU Male Athlete of the Year in 1994.
Ohio State junior Randy Monahan (Jr., Elizabethtown, Pa.) was named the Big Ten Co-Gymnast of the Week for the week of Feb. 1. Monahan shared the award with Justin Spring of Illinois. Monahan's conference honor was awarded following his performance against Illinois Jan. 31 at St. John Arena.
Monahan placed first in the all-around with a 55.350, his second-highest tally this season behind the NCAA record of 56.50 he set earlier this year. Monahan completed the competition with a career-high 9.750 on floor to finish first. Setting another career high on rings (9.7), Monahan claimed that event as well.
The Big Ten last honored Monahan Jan. 14 and Jan. 21 following his performances in the Windy City Invitational and the meet against Minnesota.
Ohio State plays host to the No. 5 Penn State Nittany Lions in co-ed competition at 7 p.m. Feb. 21 at St. John Arena.
Ohio State had four student-athletes and two alumni compete in the USA Gymnastics Winter Cup Challenge Feb. 6-7 in Las Vegas. Former Buckeye Blaine Wilson won the all-around with a score of 57.050. Jamey Houle (Sr., Enfield, Conn.), Willie Ito (Fr., Huntington Beach, Calif.), Randy Monahan and Cody Trobaugh (Jr., Dallas, Texas) were the current OSU team members competing at the meet.
Monahan finished the all-around in 11th place and earned the opportunity to compete in two event finals. The junior captain scored a 9.150 on floor and a 9.3 on rings during the qualifying session.

Fall of the Left and Buddhadeb
During a press briefing in May 2006, CPI(M) state secretary Biman Bose made a prophetic comment. While speaking on the role of media which was then projecting chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee as the poster boy of reforms, Bose remarked bluntly: "The media has taken the Brand Buddha line. But it can spell trouble for him." (Source) The outspoken CPI(M) state secretary was expressing his worry that the same media which is making a superhero out of him, was equally capable of abruptly changing color, chameleon-like, and start smearing the chief minister's image. Biman Bose's comment came at a time when the political influence and reputation of Buddhadeb was at its peak. He had just won the 2006 state assembly elections with a colossal majority and was hailed as a new-age leader, a "capitalist communist" who was expected to steer Bengal to glory. The industrial lobby, the neo-liberal media and large sections of the urban middle class was praising him animatedly for his single-point industrialization agenda. He was been credited for bringing back hope to a state marred by "despair". Neo-liberalism advocate The Economist went gaga to extol him for his "reputation for probity," for being "modest and engaging" on topics from agri-business to consumerism and Indian poetry. From Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Azim Premji of Wipro, many big-shots were lauding him as India's best chief minister. Unfortunately for him, it took just a year after the famous victory for the Brand Buddha bubble to burst. Within a couple of years the monolithic edifice of the CPI(M) came tumbling down when the people of Bengal delivered a real kick in the teeth to sweep out the Left Front from thirty-four long years of uninterrupted power.

Chaos to Creation: the enigma of Bob Dylan (Part: Three)
In 1968, Dylan came out from his eighteen-month long self-imposed exile, once more picked up his acoustic guitar and recorded John Wesley Harding, a soft, somber acoustic album very different from the surrealistic verbosity and flashy musical arrangements of Blonde and Blonde. Unlike the apparently impromptu manner in which he wrote the lyrics of his previous album, every song of the new album was written with more care and completed before he went for recording. The world he described in the songs, as Mike Marqusee has drawn our attention to, is loaded with connotative characters: the immigrants, drifters, outlaws, hobos, greedy landlords, hateful figures of unentitled authority, saints, martyrs, the rich and the poor. Though sounded simple and rustic, the narrative songs are in fact ingrained deep into elemental social themes, revealing several intertwined layers of subtle political message which went almost undetected to the listeners. During the sparkling 1968 Sing Out! interview, John Cohen asked him why his songs aren't as socially or politically applicable as they were earlier. Absolutely conscious and confident about his intention, Dylan gave a categorical reply to the question and said: "Probably that is because no one cares to see it the way I'm seeing it now, whereas before, I saw it the way they saw it."

To the Comrades in Bengal
The 2011 Bengal assembly election is now over. A synthetically manufactured socio-political commotion that had embarked on a plotted journey from mid-2007 has finally arrived at its logical end. The much hyped circle of poriborton (change) is now complete. An assorted conglomerate of anti-Left elements, personified by the "magnanimous" Trinamool chieftain Mamata Banerjee have triumphed over a thirty-four years long uninterrupted Left Front rule in this eastern Indian state – the longest-serving elected communist government in the world. The euphoria over the victory in the anti-Left camp is therefore obvious. Prominent renegades, fence-sitter Leftists, drawing room revolutionaries and the awake-aware intellectuals have also joined to sing the celebration chorus. The winners and their embedded friends in the mainstream corporate media have announced with a big sigh of relief that Bengal, at last, is free. The people, we are told, is now liberated from a tyrannical and sluggish regime which has destroyed every aspect of democratic rights in the state. The Left's terrible debacle, we are edified again and again, is therefore nothing less than historic. On the other side, a stoic silence has been observed from the losers who have gracefully accepted the people's mandate and are presently tiring to protect their grass-root workers from the vicious attack launched against them by the victorious Trinamool goons.

Media hyperbole and Bengal assembly elections
If we go through the standard news reports, analysis, editorials and opinion pieces been published daily in the national and local mainstream media concerning the ongoing assembly elections of Bengal, there can be little doubt in our minds about whom the voters would prefer to see in the next government. According to the obvious trends and predictions reflecting in the media, the people of Bengal have already "decided" to reject the worn out Left Front and embrace the impressive Trinamool Congress (TMC)-Indian National Congress (INC) opposition alliance. Experienced pollsters have concluded that in all probability, this grand alliance under the sagacious leadership of our famed railways minister Mamata Banerjee is heading for a clean sweep. Passionate supporters of the Left might still go on arguing that a sheer anti-Left bias in the print and television coverage during any election campaign is nothing new in Bengal. The spectrum of debate that gets released on various media forums during the election season has seldom been objective. They are also trying to point out that for a long time independent media organizations in the state have been completely polarized along political lines. But not many people are listening to them. The coming Bengal election results are therefore, as one thin on top editor recently wrote, "the easiest to predict in our electoral history in a very long time."

Looking at the Egyptian uprising
It all began in a rural Tunisian town. Mohamed Bouazizi, who sold fruits and vegetables on the streets to make a living for himself and his impoverished family, was publicly humiliated on December 17 by a policewoman Fedya Hamdi. Hamdi slapped Bouazizi in the face, spat at him and forcefully confiscated his goods and weighing scale. An angry and distressed Bouazizi, who often suffered harassment and abuse at the hands of the local police, went to complain his grievances to the local municipal officials but failed to get any recourse as the officials just refused to meet him. As an act of desperation, Bouazizi doused himself with inflammable fluid and set his body on fire outside the municipal office. The plight of young Bouazizi became the catalyst that sparked off massive anger against the regime of president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who ruled Tunisia since 1987 with an iron fist. Thousands of furious Tunisians came out on the streets to protest against police brutality, the corrupt power structure, soaring unemployment and unending poverty. Weeks of violent demonstrations followed as protesters clashed with the state security forces. Members of the police force clubbed the unarmed anti-regime protesters and open fired on them killing dozens. Sensing the enraging public mood, Ben Ali visited the bedside of Bouazizi in an attempt to draw public support. He also dissolved the government, promised legislative elections within six months and assured to take meaningful steps toward political reform. But his entire attempt was all but too late. On January 4, Bouazizi succumbed to his injuries escalating unrest and further violence. On January 14, president Ben Ali fled the capital Tunis with his wife Leila in a private jet to Saudi Arabia shortly after the army general Rachid Ammar refused to back his orders to keep shooting on the protesters. According to French agencies, the 74-year-old dethroned president suffered a stroke and is now lying in coma at a Saudi hospital.

Who are the Harmads of Bengal?
When a joint forces team raided and arrested two suspected Maoists – Amiya and Asim Mahato from the Municipal Guest House in Midnapore town, Trinamool Congress chieftain and railway minister Mamata Banerjee rushed at the spot with "friendly'' television units and swung into damage control mode. Banerjee's quick reaction does not need much explanation. The guest house was run by her party with the Congress as a relief camp to "shelter" party workers who are on the run from CPI(M) cadres "reclaiming" lost ground in various parts of West Midnapore district. According to Midnapore police chief Manoj Verma, the "sheltered Trinamool workers" comprises many hardcore Maoists and PCAPA activists from the Jangalmahal area. His team was keeping a keen watch on the guesthouse for a long time and the raid took place only after they became definite that seven Maoists had been staying there. Eight letters of CPI(Maoist) politbureau member Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji, senior Maoist leader Asim Ghosh alias Akash and Jharkhand Maoist leader Ranjan Munda has been seized from the two arrested suspects. One of Kishenji's letters was addressed to the boisterous and bleeding-heart Trinamool MP Kabir Suman. The police have also informed that Amiya Mahato was present with Maoist commander Sidhu Soren when the faction encountered with the joint forces and lost eight of their members including Soren. Asim Mahato acted as Kishenji's courier. The duo was hiding in the guesthouse since September 2010 with other Maoists including Kanchandeb Sinha, who was arrested on November 2010, from Trinamool block president Nepal Singh's car in Shalboni. They have also participated in the recent Trinamool-PCAPA rally at Lalgarh. The joint forces team faced stiff resistance from local Trinamool men and women who had tried to prevent them from raiding the den for a second time. Six journalists suffered injuries when the police baton charged the mob to control the pandemonium. The police force has failed to nab the other suspected Maoists who have fled the den after breaking a window at the back of the building. (Source)

Chaos to Creation: the enigma of Bob Dylan (Part: Two)
Dylan's radical spell lasted for a brief period – between January 1962 and November 1963. While his music was been considered as the definitive proclamation of the sixties folk revival and its radical political thought, Dylan had clearly indicated that he is not the conventional folk singer who is just adapting traditional material for a new context, neither a political artist committed only to socio-political causes. Along with the situational songs, he was writing distinctively personal lyrics marked with private references of grief and anxieties, songs about relationship, about the nuances and contradictions of love. He did not hesitate to include a confounding and abstract composition Boots of Spanish Leather in his most politically charged album The Times They Are A-Changin'. Many decades later he complained in Chronicles, "As far as I knew, I didn't belong to anybody then or now […] the big bugs in the press kept promoting me as the mouthpiece, spokesman, or even conscience of a generation […] I had very little in common with and knew even less about a generation that I was supposed to be the voice of."
Chaos to Creation: the enigma of Bob Dylan (Part: One)
John Bucklen, the son of a miner, was Robert Allen Zimmerman's closest high school friend and partner in his teenage musical adventures. The two grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota – once the largest of the many mining towns on the iron-ore-rich Mesabi Range. Just a year after the Zimmerman family moved here from Duluth in 1948, the town witnessed a two months long miners' strike demanding pensions and insurance rights from the Oliver Iron Mining Company – a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation. The Zimmermans were middle-class Jews and owned a household appliance store in Hibbing. Bucklin's family depended on his mother's earnings from sewing after his father was injured in a mining accident which restricted him from working again. By the late fifties, Hibbing's mining community started to encounter the harsh realities of layoffs and regularly shutting down of mines as the two World Wars had seriously depleted much of the high-grade iron ore of the Mesabi Range. When the two friends parted away in November 1960, the town had become a place of limited prospect due to this bleak economic situation. Young Bobby Zimmerman had two aspirations in his mind when he left his hometown. The first was to meet his idol Woody Guthrie, who was bedridden by Huntington's chorea in New Jersey's Greystone Hospital. The second was to become a professional folk singer. Bucklen liked airplanes and so went on to join the United States Air Force.
Ayodhya verdict & our secular conscience: Part Two
The three members Bench of Justice D.V. Sharma, Justice S.U. Khan and Justice S. Agarwal has ruled by a 2-1 majority that all the parties in the title suit, i.e. Bhagwan Shree Ram Lalla represented by his sakha (close friend) Triloki Nath Pandey, the Nirmohi Akhara and the Sunni Waqf Board will have one third equal share each of the disputed property and declared the litigants joint title-holders. Justice Sharma has disagreed with the decision of the majority that one-third of the disputed land should be given to Muslims for construction of a mosque. Dismissing the suit filed by the Sunni Waqf Board for a declaration and possession of the site so that Muslims can rebuild the demolished mosque on the same spot, the Bench has allotted the portion right below the central dome of the demolished Babri Masjid to Bhagwan Shree Ram Lalla Virajman with a caution that the defendants should not obstruct or interfere the area in any manner. The areas covered by the structures of Ram Chabutra, Sita Rasoi and Bhandar in the outer courtyard were allotted to the Nirmohi Akhara. The two Hindu litigants will share the remaining unbuilt area within the outer courtyard "since it has been generally used by the Hindu people for worship at both places." The Bench has allotted the rest of the area where the Babri Masjid stood, including part of the inner courtyard and if necessary also some part of the outer courtyard to the Waqf Board stating that "the share of Muslim parties shall not be less than one third (1/3) of the total area of the premises". To alleviate the progress of such a three-way division, the Bench has advised to use some parts around the disputed land presently under acquisition of the Government of India. The judges also ordered that the prevailing status quo which is currently under state control shall be maintained for a period of three months.

Ayodhya verdict & our secular conscience: Part One
In a large and diverse country like India, there is never a dearth of issues that stimulate the citizens to talk, argue and fight. But the credulous public mind, overexposed and debilitated by artificial trends and a plethora of confusing information are often been hypnotized by the shining pendant of a forged present and a delusional future. Moreover, a vague vision of history compels them to acquire comfort by mirroring a general trend of forgetfulness. In this spurious atmosphere, even a detrimental agenda can easily capture public imagination and receive popular support. Incapable to ponder much of its gravity, people tend to offer themselves as cannon fodder in socio-political conflicts waged against their own interests. The six-decade-old Ayodhya dispute over the ownership of 2.77 acres of "holy" land is such a thorny issue that has sharply polarized a devout Indian society along quasi-religious lines. Flaring up from time to time, the dispute has instilled a stream of dangerous ideas deep inside the country's psyche. Acknowledged as one of India's most divisive and contentious issues, the dispute with its high hegemonic potential has shaken the very foundation of the country's collective identity as a nation and gradually grown into a symbol of subjectivity. Looking into the chronology of events including the wide network of relations and sectoral interests in and by which the dispute is situated and sustained for such a long time will provide us a necessary linkage to the Ayodhya verdict which was recently delivered by the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court.

Home Profiles/Features Legal Column COVID-19: A call for action…and balance
COVID-19: A call for action…and balance
By Jeff Jones
Special to the UCBJ
As more businesses in Tennessee and other states begin to "reopen" following the relaxation or expiration of stay-at-home orders, employers are faced with continuing issues of workplace safety to address the coronavirus pandemic.
Modern technology has introduced ways for employers to monitor employee compliance with social distancing in the workplace, to screen employee body temperature upon arrival, and to evaluate employee health status on a daily basis as well as gathering information on their overall medical history – all in the name of workplace safety. As the pandemic continues and businesses employ such measures in an effort to combat the virus, employers may experience an increase in employee complaints and resistance to overly invasive measures. Given the lack of certainty with respect to the safety-measures that are or are not required, employers will continue to be challenged to balance workplace safety measures with the existing employment laws regarding employee privacy and discrimination.
Meanwhile, employers may also find their safety practices being challenged as insufficient by workers who fear exposure to the virus in the workplace. There is no doubt that employers should continue to adhere to guidance issued from various governmental agencies including OSHA, the Department of Labor, and the CDC, which can be found on these agencies' respective websites.
While there is no specific OSHA standard relative to the pandemic, OSHA's general duty clause under Section 5(a)(1) of the Act requires employers to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm. OSHA also prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who complain regarding workplace safety issues or employees who (according to OSHA's "Desk Aid" for its investigators) "exercise any right afforded by the OSH Act."
Employers uncertain as to how far they should go to respond to the pandemic in the workplace may wish to consider the recent case of Rural Community Workers Alliance/Doe v. Smithfield Foods, Inc., et al. (USDC, W. D. Missouri, 5:20-cv-06063). While Smithfield Foods, as a meatpacking industry, has unique workplace challenges not faced by all employers, the case nonetheless illustrates how an employer's response to the pandemic can be subject to scrutiny when challenged, and the importance of documenting those steps.
On April 23, the plaintiffs petitioned the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri to compel Smithfield Foods to institute certain measures to reduce the potential for exposure to the pandemic in the workplace, seeking a declaration that the plant constituted a public nuisance and that Smithfield breached its duty to provide a safe workplace. On April 27, Smithfield moved to dismiss the case in its entirety and in support of its position, Smithfield noted OSHA's primary-jurisdiction in the area of workplace safety and advised the Court that just one day before the case was filed, on April 22nd, OSHA had sent Smithfield a "Rapid Response Investigation," requesting extensive information from Smithfield regarding its COVID-19 work practices and giving Smithfield only seven days to respond (which it did on April 29th).
According to the extensive information it provided to the Court regarding its response to the threat of coronavirus, Smithfield Foods:
requires thermal screening of all employees,
does not penalize employees who miss work due to C-19 related symptoms,
has eliminated co-pays for relevant testing and treatment,
provides face masks to all employees, gloves and face shields to production-floor workers,
administers hand sanitizer every 30 minutes to employees, and
allows employees to fill their personal hand sanitizers using the company supply.
Smithfield also cleans and disinfects in accordance with CDC guidelines, and in order to facilitate social distancing in the workplace has erected plastic barriers along the production lines, and on the eating tables in the break rooms. The Company also temporarily increased employee pay by $5/hour and reduced overall production.
In granting Smithfield's Motion to Dismiss on May 5th, the Court did not decide whether Smithfield was in compliance with the CDC or OSHA guidance, but instead deferred to the jurisdiction of OSHA and the USDA, noting that OSHA's "special competence" includes "enforcing occupational safety and health standards." The Court based its dismissal on a number of factors and recognized that "Smithfield has taken significant remedial steps…to protect its workers from COVID-19." It is notable that the Court dismissed the Complaint "without prejudice," explaining that if OSHA fails to act quickly, the plaintiffs may seek judicial action through the emergency relief process under OSHA's framework.
At the very least, employers should continue to stay informed on COVID-19 issues, and strive to adhere to any applicable industry-specific guidance. OSHA has recently issued specific guidance for the manufacturing industry workforce, construction workers, retail workers, package delivery workforce, meatpacking and processing facilities, and the restaurant, food and beverage businesses.
Employers should already have in place a COVID-19 Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plan and should update other existing policies to reflect these practices.

Telile's research focuses on the radicalization among second-generation immigrant youth in Western countries, the terrorism group Al-Shabaab's relationship with the Somali Community in the U.S., and existing strategies used to counter the recruitment of youth in the U.S. into Al-Shabaab. Telile points out that second generation radicalized groups most likely have a normal life and little if any criminal history, but are often subject to discrimination due to their Muslim faith and ethnicity. In result, these radicalized youths feel alienated from their societies and develop a hatred for the West in return. Telile discusses the challenges Somali youth face in creating their identities in the U.S., the sense of isolation many Somali-Americans feel, and how these sentiments contribute to radical Somali nationalism that drives support for Al-Shabaab in the U.S. From this research, Telile concludes that Somali nationalism and a need for identity, more than religious fanaticism, leads Somali youth to participate in terrorist groups. In order to prevent radicalization, Telile recommends the United States government gain a broader understanding of the culture of Somali youth and the challenges they face in the United States, and to develop leadership opportunities for Somali youth to serve as agents of peace through community organizing. These initiatives could give Somali youth motivation to be involved in the development of their country and a sense of identity and purpose in their lives that they so greatly need to avoid radicalization.

STATIC-X Still Doesn't Want To Publicly Reveal New Singer's Identity Even Though 'Everyone Knows' Who He Is
STATIC-X bassist Tony Campos says that he knew "there would be some negativity" in response to the band's decision to reunite without its late frontman Wayne Static.STATIC-X's recent tour celebrated the 20th anniversary of the band's platinum-certified "Wisconsin Death Trip" album and paid homage to Static, who died six years ago.While the identity of STATIC-X's touring singer — who goes by the name Xer0 — has not been officially revealed, strong rumors suggest that DOPE frontman Edsel Dope is performing alongside Campos, drummer Ken Jay and guitarist Koichi Fukuda.Campos discussed STATIC-X's comeback during a recent appearance on "The SDR Show". Speaking about how the idea of Xer0 wearing a mask in the likeness of Static came about, Tony said: "When we were trying to figure out how we were gonna do this live, the first thing that came up was the hologram thing, and that got shot down pretty quick."The thing about the band for us was the energy and the vibe that we all got from the interaction the four of us had on stage, and you just don't get that with a hologram. So that got chucked out the window pretty quickly. So we figured out it had to be somebody. Once we found Xer0 and saw and heard that he could do the job, we were, like, 'Cool. How do we present this in a cool way that doesn't make it about…?' 'Cause we didn't wanna come out and, like, 'Hey, here's STATIC-X with their new singer.' That's not what we were trying to do. It was about remembering Wayne and remembering the good times we had back in the early days and remembering the fun we all had together 20 years ago touring on 'Wisconsin Death Trip'. And so we really wanted to keep the focus on that and not on the new singer. So the idea of a mask came."Campos continued: "Initially, we came up with a helmet that looked like the robot from the 'Push It' video and even shot some video footage of Xer0 wearing that, and it looked great. Logistically, it wasn't gonna work, though, 'cause you're blind in the thing. And so, what are you gonna do? Have somebody walk him out to the front of the stage, make sure he doesn't fall off the stage? So we were, like, 'Okay, what else can we do?' And so we thought of all these different merchandise items that we had, with skulls, with Wayne's hair and beard, and thought, 'Well, let's try something like that.' So we gave the idea to a friend of ours who designs masks for the SLIPKNOT guys, John 5, various other people, and she came back with that Xer0 mask. And then once we put the hair up, we were, like, 'Oh, yeah. Dude, that's it.' And so we went with that."Asked if STATIC-X is still keeping Xer0's identity a secret even though "everyone knows" who he is, Tony said: "Yeah, but I still like to keep that distinction, 'cause, again, I'm trying to keep the focus [on remembering Wayne]."According to Campos, Xer0 wasn't the only singer who was in the mix for the STATIC-X frontman job. "I had a few ideas in my head, but he was the first to come up and actually demonstrate that he could do the job," Tony explained. "So I was, like, 'I don't think I need to look any further.' [Laughs]"Campos went on to say that he "knew there would be some negativity" on the Internet once STATIC-X had announced its comeback. "It was definitely a talking point, for sure," he said. "But I think once people heard our story and heard that Wayne's family had given us their blessing to do what we were doing, and then once they actually saw it, I think that was the big turning point. Once people came out and experienced the show and saw what we were doing, I think it made most of those people turn around."STATIC-X's latest album "Project Regeneration Vol. 1", came out in July. The first of two volumes, "Project Regeneration Vol. 1" features 12 brand new tracks, containing many of the final vocal performances and musical compositions of Static, along with Campos, Jay and Fukuda. Both volumes are being worked on by longtime STATIC-X producer Ulrich Wild.Asked how close "Vol. 2" is to completion at this point, Campos told "The SDR Show": "We're still working on stuff. Some stuff was further along than others, and we're a lot closer now, but we still have a lot more work to do. And I don't wanna say a tentative release date or anything, 'cause we did that the last time and we had to delay the record a couple of times and pissed off a lot of people. So I don't wanna do that again."Last year, STATIC-X wrapped up a world tour comprised of nearly 100 mostly sold-out dates in celebration of the 20th anniversary of "Wisconsin Death Trip".Static died after mixing Xanax and other powerful prescription drugs with alcohol, according to the coroner's report. The 48-year-old, whose real name was Wayne Richard Wells, was found dead in his Landers, California home on November 1, 2014.Static founded STATIC-X in 1994 and achieved commercial success with "Wisconsin Death Trip", which included the rock radio hit "Push It".The group issued five more studio albums before disbanding permanently in June 2013. Static had been pursuing a solo career at the time of his death.

This example demonstrates a simple Calculator application that is composed of POJO services for each calculator function (add, subtract, multiply and divide).
Each calculator function is a deployable service, and the Calculator has a declared association to each service. The Calculator service becomes 'whole' when it discovers it's required services. The Calculator is a good example on the use of associations and how association based dependency injection can be used.
The example also provides a test client that uses the Rio test infrastructure to create and invoke methods on the Calculator service.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- American scientists developed a drug capsule that can deliver oral doses of insulin and it might replace the injections that people with type 2 diabetes have to make each day.
The study published in the Feb. 8 issue of journal Science reported the capsule, about the size of a blueberry and containing a needle made of compressed insulin.
The needle comprised compressed, freeze-dried insulin on its tip and biodegradable needle shaft. The needle is attached to a compressed spring installed on a sugar disk, according to the study.
When the capsule is swallowed, water in the stomach dissolves the sugar disk, releasing the spring and injecting the needle into the stomach wall. The stomach wall has no pain receptors.
The researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) were inspired by a tortoise called the leopard tortoise. The tortoise with a high, steep shell dome can right itself when rolling onto its back.
They created a similar shape for the capsule that can orient itself to ensure the needle is in contact with the lining of the stomach.
In this study, it takes about an hour for the insulin to be fully released into the bloodstream.
In tests in pigs, the researchers showed that they could successfully deliver up to 300 micrograms of insulin. Later, they managed to increase the dose to 5 milligrams, comparable to the amount that a patient with type 2 diabetes would need to inject.
"Our motivation is to make it easier for patients to take medication, particularly medications that require an injection," said the paper's co-author Giovanni Traverso, an assistant professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a visiting scientist at MIT.
"The classic one is insulin, but there are many others," said Traverso.

Timeless Imagination: Love, love, and Love!
There is so much that I can write about being in love, experiencing this varied emotion, of having that someone to share your life with, in all the different ways.
Not just sharing the passionate kisses, but sharing the comfortable silence being with each other..
not just making out in each others arms, but also sleeping comfortably even if it means to have each other snoring into our ears..
It is not about, sharing the ups, but mostly the downs of life with each other.
We have been difficult with each other, more than taking it easy. We hate each other's guts, but can't stand if either one of is upset because of a disagreement or an argument.. .. I do remember the very first clumsy attempt at the kiss that we made in the dark confines of the cinema hall.. but I don't remember the reason that we had our first argument about. The surprising thing I do remember is the very first make up e-card that you had sent me.. it said "The best part about a fight is, the Kiss and the Make up part".
There have been millions of occasions, I have disappointed you for so many reasons, and still you have held on to me. Through my bad decisions, my angry bouts of nonsensical things, bad grammar, useless banter, chatter.. gossips and crying sessions that go beyond God knows what.. but you have held your faith and above all loved me for the person that I was, and for the person that I am discovering in myself as I go through my journey of life.
And, as we both come closer to celebrating 6 years of being together as lovers, partners in crime, and above all friends... I just want to tell you that, words cannot describe what I have for you in words.
You mean my world to me!
Here is to happiness, togetherness and Love!
I love you my Santa!
Lovely photographs, and lovelier post!
Six years --- wowwww.. super girl...My congrats for you both and my wishes to stay happy this way for years to come :) btw lovely pics..
I love this post. SO SO adorable! :) I hope the two of you stay THIS happy forever. much love.
beautiful pics and an absolutely delightful post..
wish u many more years of togetherness and unfading love.
Yes, I think that love does change everything.. even the blogspace!
Yes you are- the last to comment!

How to Do Small Science Projects for Children
How to Make a Harmonica
Learn how to make a harmonica for a science project with the instructions in this Howcast video.
I love experiments that don't require, really, any materials. For this experiment, it's amazing. Every time you go into the doctor, you could ask your doctor, "Hey, Doc. Could I please borrow a tongue depressor?" All we need is just tongue depressors and rubber bands, and I can show you how amazing sound truly is, and how . . . again, we need a vibration, you need something for the vibration and the air to travel through, and you need an ear. I'm going to make an amazing instrument using nothing but tongue depressors and rubber bands. You sound like a rapper, Rapper Carmello.
Step 1, is you take a rubber band. I think a thicker rubber band works great for this experiment. I take this tongue depressor . . . if you wanted to, actually, you can color your tongue depressors so that your harmonicas look amazing. I'm just going to make mine non-colored, but if you wanted to use markers, you can make them colored, make them look fun; could actually look like you store-bought these. Step 1, is take your tongue depressor. Large rubber band for this step. You can take it; very easily just wrap it around your tongue depressor. Just like that. Easy step.
Step 2, again, card stock. I don't like typing paper, I don't like computer paper; I like using card stock. It's a little thicker and makes the experiment work that much better. I'm going to cut out a piece, 2 inches; 2" x 2". There's your math measurement. I take it, I'm just going to fold it, fold it, and fold it. I'm going to take the square, and I'm going to fold the square 3 times. I take a piece of tape that I'm just going to roll around so that the tape is sticky on all of its sides. Take the piece that I cut out, put it on the tape. I'm going to take my second tongue depressor, not the one with the rubber band, and I'm just going to tape it, not at the end, I'm going to leave a little bit of space just like that.
Now I'm going to do the same thing twice. I'm going to take another 2" square, remember, 2" x 2" x 2"; I'm going to fold it, fold it twice, fold it 3 times. It's exactly the same step. Take another piece of tape. Roll it so that it's sticky on all of its sides. You're going to make this exact . . . it's going to be symmetrical, it's going to look exactly the same, you're just going to do it on the other end. Again, a little bit of space. Now I have that; it looks like you're going snowboarding, but we're not.
I'm going to take what I did in Step 1 and Step 2, and I'm going to make a stick sandwich here. I'm going to push it together. Now I'm going to take 2 smaller, thin rubber bands. It doesn't really matter, but I really think if you had a thicker one, its fine, but these thinner ones really, really work best. I'm going to make this really tight. Right over where the paper is, I'm going to take the rubber band, I'm going to rub it around, maybe 6 or 7 times, just so that that end is really tight. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Again, you're going to make it exactly the same on the other end. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.
When you look at this, it doesn't look like much, right? The cool part is, when you speak, the vibrations from your mouth hit the rubber band. The air, all the vibrations are made; amazing sound is heard. The compressed air creates these waves that travel through the air, hit your ear, and you hear music. If you don't believe me, look. Check this out. Breathe in, breathe out. You can even talk into it and make really cool sounds, like . . . Make music. It's awesome, and you made a homemade harmonica using nothing but tongue depressors and rubber bands. How cool is that?

Hollands happy to land anywhere
Feature Articles November 28, 2022

BEING drafted is the dream for many young boys and girls around Australia, no less to the team they supported growing up. That's a potential reality for Oliver Hollands, a Carlton supporter who has courted great interest from the Blues.
Though the midfielder admits it would be "cool" to land at Princes Park, he is well versed in making new surroundings familiar. From leaning on brother, Elijah, who was drafted to the Gold Coast, to boarding at Geelong Grammar, Hollands is well prepared for whatever comes next.
"Obviously the whole family would love (for me to get to Carlton) but I have no preference, I'd love to be anywhere," Hollands said. "Being on a list is my dream and no matter where that is if it's interstate or here in Victoria, I'd be happy to be anywhere.
"I think watching Elijah move away I've been fairly similar… with Elijah the important thing in his experience moving away from home has been how important family is, how important it is trying to get back and see family where you can… I know that when he does get home he really cherishes the time he does get. It's something i've really looked into and try and take out of his experience and really learn from that as well."
Much of the allure surrounding Hollands comes from his character, but on-field it's his high level running capacity and versatility which make him a first round prospect. Having won stacks of the ball on both sides of midfield and even off flanks, he is set to be a highly sought after type.
Maintaining a level of consistency has not been easy though, with the 18-year-old made to manage different voices across school, representative and club football.
"I really liked the way I was playing and didn't feel I was out of place at all," Hollands said. "Overall I was really happy with my consistency and being able to play a mix of different roles as well.
"It's nice to be able to have developed those other roles playing that half-forward and half-back this year. I do think probably my main strength is in that midfield where I can really use my inside-outside craft to get the better of my opponents.

"Some strengths are just being really clean below my feet, I rarely fumble which is fairly important. Then also just my endurance capacity, just being able to work hard up and down the ground with my two-way running as I can get back and defend and then burn my opponent in transition so I feel like they're some real strengths to my game.
"My running ability allows me to get to as many contests as I can, and I feel like that's where I'm best used, and I can access the ground in so many different areas with my running ability. In terms of hopefully being at a club next year, I think maybe I do see myself playing in more of an outside role as I do start strengthening my body up a bit more."
It's that outside role which has him so closely linked to Carlton, which has been forthright in its desire to fill that list chasm. Having recruited Blake Acres during trade period, it shows. Though the strengths he possesses are easily adaptable, Hollands has room for improvement – in his own words.
"Something that I'm looking to improve on especially as I go up in the levels as the game starts to get a bit faster, is more so to work on a little bit of strength related stuff," he said. "Eventually if I do want to crack into a midfield, I have to develop a strong inside midfield game.
"I feel like also working on getting a little bit more forward of square and trying to hit the scoreboard is somewhere I can take my game to the next level by hitting that scoreboard."
After producing the good this season across multiple levels, Hollands will finally find out where his fate lies during tonight's National Draft. He's expected to be snapped up in the first round, potentially as a prospect clubs trade up to secure.
