Parents plan pressure for returning students to Columbia classrooms
Roger McKinney
Columbia parents fed up with online learning met Tuesday to plot strategy to get kids back in school.
Approximately 30 parents gathered in Smithton Park, across West Worley Street from Smithton Middle School, and vented their frustration and said their children are not happy with learning from home.
And whether in response to that pressure or other considerations, early Wednesday afternoon the Board of Education called a special meeting for 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday to discuss reopening plans.
There is no change, however, in the plan for a vote Oct. 12 on whether the youngest children in the district can return to classrooms part-time on Oct. 19.
Led by Kelly Hoover, who has a son in fifth grade, and Lara Wakefield, an advocate for students with disabilities, the group discussed ways of bringing pressure on board members and administrators.
"I am no one special," Hoover said. "But I want our kids back in school."
Among the ideas considered:
A protest that fills the parking lot of the administration building of Columbia Public Schools.
Flooding school board members with phone calls and emails.
Speaking at school board meetings to their faces.
Submitting petitions.
They have a Facebook group, CoMo Parents for In-Seat School.
The district had originally planned to open the week of Aug. 24 with parents choosing whether their children received instruction in person or online. The district surveyed parents and 80 percent of parents choosing classroom learning.
The plan changed Aug. 10, when the board put off the first day of classes to Sept. 8 and decided to adopt a plan based on reaching COVID-rate threshholds. When case rates were below 10 per 100,000 residents over 14 days, students would be in class full time. When the rate was more than 50, all instruction would be online.
In between, the district would have students attend class two days a week in person and take the rest of their instruction online.
When the rate soared above 50, the district announced Aug. 31 that classes would start online.
And at its most recent meeting, the board moved to a plan that determines how instruction will be offered based on case rates, positive rates on tests, and would bring the youngest students to school first.
The revisions are upsetting, Wakefield said Tuesday.
"The district's plans seem to change every five minutes," she said.
Also in attendance were State Rep. Chuck Basye, R-Rocheport and State Rep. Cheri Toalson-Reisch, R-Hallsville.
Columbia schools should reopen, Basye said.
"I think they can do this safely," he said. "If there's a problem, they can take appropriate action."
The University of Missouri successfully returned students to campus, so Columbia school can reopen safely, he said.
Basye's 86-year-old mother has COVID-19. His wife is the kitchen manager for Smithton Middle School.
Asked before the meeting if the state education department should have established clear guidelines for reopening if certain standards are met, Basye said it should be needed.
"I think the majority of schools are open," he said. "A lot of the parents here are feeling they're not being heard."
School board should have local control, but they shouldn't be free of criticism, he said.
Calls to the child-abuse hotline go down when children aren't in school because teachers call it when they see abused children in school, Reisch said.
"All the schools in Boone County are open, in-seat, except Columbia and that bothers me," Reisch said. "Why can't Columbia do this."
She had a recommendation for the parents
"You can blow the phones up" in the school district and flood school board members and administrators with emails, she said.
"My fifth-grader, he wants to write to the school board," Hoover said. "If your children are up for it, I encourage that."
The launch of the school year hasn't been completely smooht. The first day started online Sept. 8 with technology problems.
The plan adopted Aug. 10 was based on a statewide plan in Minnesota, but parent Kristy Reichard said the plan is designed to keep students out of school.
"We live in Missouri," she said. "Everyone in Missouri is in school. That Minnesota model is not going to get us in school."
The goal should not be a hybrid model with students in class two days a week, Wakefield said.
"In-person should be our Plan A," she said.
The district wants to hear all viewpoints from parents, Baumstark said.
"There have been multiple groups on both sides of this issue advocating for their children," Baumstark said. "That is a good thing We all want the best for our children. It's good to have discussion and discourse and to hear from multiple viewpoints. Ultimately, we all want the same thing - a safe return to in-person learning. We're continuing to monitor the numbers and are extremely encouraged by the downward trend we're seeing."

If Web services live up to their potential, a once obscure technology known as Extensible Markup Language may become an instant success story as the linchpin that holds the concept together.
In a few short years, a once obscure technology bearing the unremarkable name of Extensible Markup Language has gone from a dry-as-dust specification to the center of the newest Web revolution.
Like the title character in Woody Allen's movie "Zelig," whenever industry luminaries--Microsoft's Bill Gates, Oracle's Larry Ellison, Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy--take the stage to tout their companies' Web services strategies, XML is right there. Although it predates the Web services stampede, the technology seems almost custom-made for development of the trend.
But as with many new technologies, initial enthusiasm and unrelenting hype have combined to blur an understanding of what XML is and where the technology fits in Web services development--which itself is just emerging and still being defined. Some issues being debated are XML file size, the handling of mixed media such as voice and video, and the safeguarding of data in a document created with the language.
"The main problem is the very buzz about XML as the solution for all needs," said John E. Simpson, an XML specialist who has been a programmer for more than 20 years.
Classified as a "page description language," it is something closer to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)--the current lingua franca of the Web--than to true programming languages such as Java or Visual Basic. Just as HTML helped fuel the first great wave of the Web's popularity, XML is poised to spur a new world of Web-based services that promise to make technology more usable.
Gartner analyst Mary Knox says each industry is fighting its own XML standards battle, and financial services offers an example of how difficult the battle can be.
XML grew out of the publishing world as a way to describe the contents of documents exchanged over the Web. One of the language's key qualities is that it is readable by people, not just machines, making systems easy to debug.
The language provides terms used to define a Web document's tags--that is, the elements of the document that describe its various pieces--and the relationships between them. Developers at either end of a data exchange then agree to use a common set of tags. In this way, XML is uniquely flexible and versatile: It can be used to describe tennis balls or tires, employment contracts or engine parts.
That flexibility, however, can also present a problem. Because each XML transfer includes a large amount of information describing the data contained in it, file sizes can quickly mushroom.
Some companies have found XML files too big, especially when the transmission already carries large amounts of primary data. Humana, a regional health insurance company based in Louisville, Ky., uses XML to transmit some of its claims information to health care providers and other partners but relies on decades-old electronic data interchange systems for the bulk of its transfer needs.
Yet Brian LeClaire, a vice president of information technology at Humana, said XML is the best technology available for data transmissions, adding that it will improve as industry standards are adopted.
"XML is much more flexible," he said. "But it's not a well-standardized world yet, so when people talk about XML they are still trying to evolve standards around how data will be defined, and so on."
XML's creators at the World Wide Web Consortium don't see the language's propensity for weight gain as an obstacle. In fact, a document describing XML and posted to the W3C's Web site states that XML is "verbose, but that is not a problem. That was a conscious decision by the XML developers. The advantages of a text format are evident...and the disadvantages can usually be compensated."
Those advantages are apparently clear to Microsoft, which has in large part defined Web services through a high-pitched marketing campaign for its .Net strategy. XML is the technological linchpin of the .Net services plan.
"XML is the next revolution on the horizon," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at an industry conference earlier this year.
Sun, Oracle and IBM have also lauded XML and its central role in the Web services world, as have other major players. "XML has many really strong, positive characteristics, and that is why we have chosen it for more or less the foundation of everything we do," said Ray Ozzie, founder of Groove Networks and creator of Lotus Notes.
One of XML's key strengths is its application beyond Web pages. For example, the language can be used to exchange vital information for business transactions--such as shoe sizes, shipping crate numbers or the vintage of a case of wine--between different computing systems that would otherwise be unable to communicate.
In this way, XML is unparalleled for broadcasting data between servers and to Web pages as part of a Web services architecture. Many of the first uses of XML-based Web services are for unglamorous yet essential data-exchange applications.
In HTML, a markup language that defines elements of Web pages, a vocabulary used by all developers has been defined by standards organizations. The HTML terms used to describe a Web page based on a server in Prague are the same as those used in Detroit.
XML, by contrast, describes the language used to define documents. That is, it's used when no preset vocabulary exists.
"In XML, you are defining the data, the names you call the data, and the relationship of all data to one another," Humana's LeClaire said.
While Web services pioneers find ways to adapt XML, the W3C is tackling new parts of the language that could play a key role in advancing the trend, such as technologies involving multimedia and security. Last month, the organization posted a draft specification for VoiceXML 2.0, which is designed to bring synthesized speech, spoken and touch-tone commands, digitized audio, and computer-human conversations to the Web.
The W3C also is soliciting comment from programmers on how best to encrypt data transmitted using XML. A draft of a specification has been posted, and final debate is slated for this month.
As with all other evolving technologies, the progress of Web services will mean that other areas will be more fully defined either through standards or through accepted workarounds.
Dan Bricklin is confident that it will be only a matter of time before Web services take off. As the co-inventor of the first PC spreadsheet, VisiCalc, and one of those who helped start the personal computer revolution two decades ago, he has seen other major technologies go through similar growing pains.
"A lot of what we are building today we are building for the first time," Bricklin said. "And we don't fully understand it."

Restraining order against Depp to stay in place until August
Los Angeles, United States / Fri, June 17, 2016 / 01:24 pm
In this Jan. 2, 2016 file photo, Amber Heard, left, and Johnny Depp arrive at the 27th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala in Palm Springs, Calif. A Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman says the temporary restraining order Heard obtained against Depp will remain in effect until Aug. 15. Court records show Heard filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 23, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair were married in February 2015 and have no children together. (Invision/AP/Jordan Strauss)
A Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman says the temporary restraining order Amber Heard obtained against Johnny Depp will remain in effect until Aug. 15.
The matter originally was set to be heard Friday, but court spokeswoman Mary Hearn said Thursday the hearing has been postponed. She says such delays aren't unusual.
(Read also: Johnny Depp's daughter defends him after abuse allegations)
Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband May 27 after submitting a sworn declaration in which she alleged Depp threw her cellphone at her face and repeatedly hit her.
Heard and Depp were married in 2014. She filed for divorce last month, citing irreconcilable differences.
Attorneys for each of the actors did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday.

Swans Island released a little pattern collection a few weeks ago called The All American Collection, and I can't get this Bristol Ivy pattern, Offshore, off my mind. Slouchy and unisex, it has some handsome cables up the front of a simple stockinette sweater, and another one running up one sleeve, across the saddle shoulder (love a saddle shoulder) and back down the other sleeve. It looks like a such an easy but engaging knit, and the slouchy, unisex, sweatshirt-y shape looks so perfectly cozy to me right now — great for weekdays and weekends alike.
p.s. In case you haven't already seen it, I added a photo to the end of Thursday's post about joining Amanda parts at the underarm — a spectacular photo of a just-joined Amanda. Go look!

I seriously love a 'boyfriend' sweater!
I can't get Offshore off my mind either!
Let's hear it for a bit slouchy! I have very wide hips and small shoulders so most sweaters look terrible on me. I love this as well as BT Hawser since it is aline. Anyone else know of good aline or slouchy sweater they would recommend?
Mwah! Thank you, my dear!
I came, I read, I'm in complete awe – Simone's sweater is exquisite! Love a good boyfriend sweater…and this one is beautiful!
I've had my eye on this one too! I do love the slouchy version on the model, but I think mine will have shaping – easy enough to add on the plain stockinette back and at the sides of the cable panel on the front.

George V Surface Printed
As surface printing is cheaper, the 1½d, 2d and 3d values of the George V definitive issue of 1915 were changed from being recess-printed. The ½d value had always been surface printed.
The stamps
Except for the local 1½d, the dies and plates were produced in London by Perkins Bacon. The design was the same as the recess printed stamps. The ½d was the only surface printed value issued on 30 July 1915. A special ½d plate was made in 1915 from which booklet panes were produced.
In September 1915, a war tax increased all postage rates by ½d. The ½d stamp was overprinted WAR STAMP and issued on 24 September 1915 with the idea that it would be added to all items to make up the new postage. Instead the public just bought higher denomination stamps.
As the normal internal postage rate was now 1½d, it was decided that the 1½d stamp should be surface printed. To speed things up, a local die was produced by W.R. Bock and the stamps issued in April 1916. Stamps from a Perkins Bacon surface printed plate were issued in September 1916.
Local and Perkins Bacon plates
The stamps from the local plate are cruder and the lines in the King's neck are diagonal while they are horizontal in the Perkins Bacon plates.
The surface-printed twopence was also issued in September 1916. On 11 September 1918, the colour of the 1½d stamp was changed to orange-brown. The surface printed 3d was first issued in May 1919.
Later issues
In July 1926, two shilling and three shilling stamps were issued surface printed with George V in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet. The dies and plates were produced by Waterlow. In November 1926 a 1d stamp was issued with George V in the uniform of a Field Marshall. The die was made by Waterlow and the plates by Bradbury Wilkinson.
Given that they were on sale for nine years, the two shilling and three shilling stamps are expensive.
Papers and perforations
For the pence values, each sheet had 240 stamps in 10 rows of 24 and the initial perforation was 14 x 15. After 1926 the pence values were issued perf 14 (1d in 1926, ½d in 1927, 1½d, 2d and 3d in 1929) as well as perf 14 x 15.
De La Rue paper 1915-24
The paper was chalk-surfaced and watermarked NZ and star and was used for all values until 1924. The watermark is easily seen and the N and Z are fairly widely separated. The only exception is a small printing of the ½d in December 1915 on thick paper, but with the same watermark.
Jones paper 1924, 1925
In 1924, a thicker paper was introduced for the ½d and 2d, in 1925 for the 3d value. The impressions are poor and the watermark difficult to see.
Lithographed watermark 1925
In 1925 there was a provisional issue of the ½d and 2d values on a paper which had the NZ and star 'watermark' lithographed on the back.
Cowan paper 1925-1935
In August 1925, the ½d, 2d and 3d were issued on a thick Cowan paper. The 1d followed in 1926 and the 1½d in 1929.
Cowan paper was used until the end of the issue in May 1935.
There was a return to a penny postage in 1923 and so the demand for the 1½d value was greatly reduced. That is why it was not issued on Cowan paper until 1929. The 1½d perf 14 x 15 on Cowan paper was not issued until 1933.
Wiggins Teape 1926-1933
Printings of the 1d and 1½d (in 1930) and 2d (in 1926) on Wiggins Teape paper differ from the other papers as it has a vertical mesh. That is the easiest way to distinguish it. The NZ and star watermark is narrower, but is often difficult to see. On this paper, the 1d and 1½d are always perf 14 while the 2d exists with both perfs. There were several printings on Wiggins Teape paper up until 1933.
Worn plate
There were two ½d plates: numbered 28 and 29 although the numbers do not appear on the printed sheets. The top row of plate 28 became very worn.
White patches appeared and when the plates were overinked virtually all the detail disappeared. This became so bad that in some of the sheets overprinted Official the top row was removed and other stamps patched in.
The arrow in the top selvedge had been added in June 1926. If buffer bars had also been added this would have protected the top row from the extreme wearing that occurred.
High values
Jones paper
The sheets of the 2/- and 3/- values had eight rows of ten and the perforation was 14.
The first printing of the 2/- and 3/- values was on thin Jones paper in 1926. The 2/- was in deep blue and the 3/- in mauve. The impressions are generally rather poor.
In May 1927, the 2/- was issued on a thick Cowan paper and the 3/- followed in September 1927. The impressions on the Cowan paper are much better than those on the Jones. The paper is thicker and the watermark is less easy to see
Shades on Cowan papers
Initial printings of the 2/- value on Cowan paper can be readily distinguished from the earlier Jones paper as they are a much lighter and brighter blue. The colour became deeper in later printings.
The 3/- on Cowan paper was initially in pale mauve (much lighter than on the Jones paper) while later printings were much darker and in purple.
The above information is taken from The Postage Stamps of New Zealand Vol 1, published by the Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand in 1938. All scans were made by the author.

Koeman talks Pedri, Araujo and Bartomeu ahead of Copa del Rey semi-final
The latest from the Barcelona boss
By Gill Clark Mar 2, 2021, 5:00pm CET
Share All sharing options for: Koeman talks Pedri, Araujo and Bartomeu ahead of Copa del Rey semi-final
Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman spoke to the press on Tuesday ahead of the club's crunch Copa del Rey semi-final second leg tie against Sevilla at the Camp Nou.
The Dutchman discussed Pedri and Ronald Araujo's fitness, spoke about the police raids on Monday and also offered his thoughts on the different formations he could play.
Koeman on if Barca can make the final
After the last result our confidence has gone up. We need to play even better than we did on Saturday. So yes we can go through, nothing is impossible.
Koeman on Pedri
Well there's some things you can't explain because yesterday afternoon I was pretty surprised he was training by himself but he said he wasn't feeling any pain. This morning he trained without any problems. We have to wait for tomorrow but we think that yes he could be in the squad.
Koeman on police raids and arrests at Barca
It's not a good image for the club, it's not a good look. We have to wait and see what exactly has happened. The only thing we can do is focus on our work which is Sevilla, everything else is out of hands. In terms of image it's not good.
Koeman on message to fans to believe in a comeback
We know that a 2-0 against us is difficult to overcome but there are options. We have demonstrated for some time now that the team is hungry, and the team is mentally ready to take on difficult tasks. Of course we need more effectiveness than we have shown recently. But we have our chances, we've created more opporunities than our opponents. If this happens again then I just hope we can be more efficient and keep a clean sheet which is vital.
Koeman on Xavi being a threat
No, I'm not worried about that. I have a contract. Once we know who the new president is, of course we'll talk. They will show their plans, but right now we are focused on the game tomorrow which is more important than the presidential debates. We know each has their own story to tell and names will come up. It doesn't worry me.
Koeman on if it's a bad time to be at Barca
All clubs go through difficult times. Of course it's true that many things have happened this season. I think that the technical staff have been working hard and we're really happy with what they are doing. We are fighting to achieve great things. In the end what matters is what you do on the field, the unity you create in the derssing room. We know the problems we have, we must face them and try to solve them. I will give my maximum to Barca until my last day. It might be one year, five years or a few months. It's out of my hands, the only thing I try to do is make Barca win.
Koeman on if he has the same motivation
It is the same as when I got here, my motivation. I knew that coming here as a coach during Covid times was going to be difficult, for everything that's happened. The work of a coach in any club always goes through tough times. If I didn't want this I would leave, go on holiday, but I want to be here. That's my job and the job of the new president is to indicate the road to follow.
Koeman on if he'll play with three center-backs
I think the most important thing of any system is the mentality of the team and to try to press whenever possible and be together when you have to be. For me, that's the most important thing. It doesn't really matter if you have three, four or five center-backs in the team. What is important is to work hard, press our opponents. We know we can play well with the ball. We need to be confident in ourselves because in each match we've created chances.
Koeman on Araujo
He didn't train with the group because he still has some nagging injuries. We'll wait until tomorrow until we can decide if we can count on him or not.
Koeman on if he could play 3-4-3 tomorrow
Of course, it's possible because playing with three at the back is possible. I think our team, regardless of the system, is a very offensive team. We always create lots of chances. It's down to the entire team. There are moments in games when we have 6-7 players in the opponents' final third and that for me is the most important thing.
Koeman on turning the season aound
Of course it's an important game. If we can make a comeback it would be a big injection of optimism for the future. There are things we have in mind we think we can accomplish but we have to prove it.
Koeman on if he feels bad for Bartomeu
When the news came out the other day of course I was pretty messed up because I know him and Oscar Grau well. So yes I feel bad for them. I shared important moments with them, some very good moments, Bartomeu for me has always been an exceptional person.
Koeman on his future
Right now i haven't spoken to anyone because I think we need to wait and see who is the new president and get to know his team, their plans, and after that we'll talk. If I don't see a clear future for me here then we will have a problem as I only have one more year on my contract.

The main Artificial Cleverness community sought to comprehend human being intellect because they build laptop services, which in turn shown sensible behaviour. Thinking ability was basically perception of to be a issue solving ability. Most individuals problems gave the impression to have reasoned, rather compared to mathematical, merchandise. The actual diagnosis of an ailment could barely get proper. If a affected individual have any group regarding conditions, then this lady acquired a precise diseases. But , this type of reason demanded past understanding. Typically the courses were required to have got the "knowledge" that often the illness shown a particular cluster of problems. For the AJE locality, that hazy information coping in the minds associated with "Experts" was initially superior towards word e book understanding.
So they the programs, which usually solved this type of problems, Expert Systems. Expert Systems was able goal familiar problem clearing up projects which includes analysis, preparation, organizing, ligne along with design and style. One method associated with knowledge rendering was thru "If, afterward… " procedures. When the actual "If" element of a new rule seemed to be satisfied, the "Then" part of the rule has been concluded. These kind of became rule based Qualified Systems. Yet knowledge had been sometimes factual and from occasionally, confus. Factual information received distinct cause to outcome associations, just where apparent ideas may possibly be drawn from concrete policies. Pain had been one connected with a illness. If your ailment continually shown agony, in that case serious pain sharp into the condition. Although lache together with judgmental expertise had been named heuristic information. The item was really an art. The pain k?nnetecknen weren't able to mechanically denote ailments, which often sometimes established problems. Uncertainty did not yield concrete solutions. The AJAI community attempted to solve this matter by saying a statistical, or heuristic analysis connected with uncertainty. Many were represented by authentic numbers or simply by models of real-valued vectors.
The vectors were looked at by suggests of diverse "fuzzy" principles. The factors within the weighings had been detailed, getting typically the basis within the numerical principles. Variations had been combined, employing methods pertaining to computing collaboration of differences. The merged uncertainty and components have been expressed by using "standard deviations. " Doubt was presented a new statistical term, which was hardly useful for the main examination of labeled. The individual thoughts did not compute mathematical connections to assess uncertainty. The mind assumed that a specified indicator sharpened that will a likelihood, because the idea applied connaissance, an activity involving elimination, to immediately discern motifs. Vague information and facts was powerfully important to a great elimination practice, since many people eliminated many other opportunities. If the actual patient was lacking suffering, most ailments, that always demonstrated pain, could possibly be eliminated. Diseases, which oftentimes exhibited ache were saved. Further symptoms helped id from your reduced repository. A variety appeared to be easier via a reduced group. Bias could end up being powerfully invaluable for any elimination approach.
Feelings was an algorithm, which assessed the full data bank, do not include every context in which performed not fit in. This mode of operation has power Expert Devices which behaved speedily to spot a condition, discover some case regulations or detect the concerns of a complicated product. The idea was on the spot, holistic, in addition to logical. Whenever several simultaneous answers may very well be presented, for example the several parameters of an power flower, reputation was instant. Intended for the thought process, where numerous parameters ended up simultaneously shown, real occasion the pattern acknowledgement had been realistic. And fading was the important, which could determinatelyonce and for all, once for all control bias, without resort to hypothetical calculations.
The particular Artificial Mind community searched for to realize individuals learning ability by building desktop computer applications, which will established smart actions. Learning ability ended up being seen to become a difficulty solving potential. Most people problems gave the impression to have reasoned, rather as compared with precise, alternatives. The actual analysis of an ailment could rarely come to be proper. If a individual got the group for indications, in that case this girl have an individual illness. But , these types of reasons recommended prior experience. Typically the packages were required to currently have the "knowledge" that the exact problem shown a specific team of symptoms. For the particular AI place, in which vague skills dwelling in the minds for "Experts" had been superior to be able to text message book skills.
And so they called the programs, which in turn solved these problems, Expert Systems. Expert Systems handled goal driven problem fixing tasks including medical diagnosis, setting up, management, settings together with style. One method for knowledge rendering was by means of "If, after that… " tips. When the very "If" section of the rule had been satisfied, the "Then" the main rule appeared to be concluded. These became law based Skilled Systems. Still knowledge had been sometimes informative and on strategy, fuzzy. Factual awareness have sharp induce for you to impact associations, wheresoever sharp results can be sucked from concrete principles. Pain had been one involving a problem. If ever the sickness always displayed discomfort, and then pain sharp to your disorder. Although vague together with judgmental awareness seemed to be described as heuristic know-how. The item was more of an art work. The pain sign could not mechanically indicate illnesses, which inturn often exhibited agony. Doubt would not generate concrete replies. The AJAJAI community tried to solve this matter by suggesting a statistical, or heuristic analysis involving uncertainty. Many were symbolized by legitimate numbers or even by models of real-valued vectors.
The vectors were examined by implies of unique "fuzzy" models. The components within the proportions were being stated, rendering the basis in the numerical values. Variations have been combined, applying methods to get computer mix of diversities. The merged uncertainty and its components happen to be expressed by using "standard deviations. " Hardship was granted a good statistical manifestation, which in turn was not useful in typically the prognosis of a sickness. The our head have not work out mathematical associations to pinpoint uncertainness. The exact mind recognized that a new specified k?nnetecknen sharpened to a chance, because them implemented connaissance, an operation about removal, to promptly discover styles. Vague material had been powerfully invaluable to some sort of elimination approach, since they removed quite a few other options. If the client was missing pain, just about all illnesses, which usually always displayed pain, can be eliminated. Conditions, which at times exhibited soreness were saved. Further conditions helped identity from some reduced databases. A range was basically easier by a small group. Uncertainness could get strongly beneficial for any elimination technique.
Conscience was developed, which examined the total repository, removing each and every circumstance the fact that would you think not accommodate. This mode of operation has motorized Expert Products which served speedily to understand a problem, discern some case legislations or identify the troubles of your complex machine. Them was prompt, holistic, plus logical. In the event several parallel answers is usually presented, that is to say the numerous parameters of your power place, popularity was immediate. For the imagination, where lots of parameters had been simultaneously brought to you, real time period design acceptance was handy. In addition to elimination was the main, which often can effectively cope uncertainty, while not vacation resort to strenuous calculations.
The exact Artificial Learning ability community searched for to understand our thinking ability because they build pc systems, of which presented bright habits. Intellect has been seen as a issue solving capability. Most human being problems did actually have reasoned, rather as compared with numerical, solutions. The very a diagnosis of an illness could not come to be scored. If your individual previously had some sort of group associated with indicators, afterward the girl previously had an individual disease. However this kind of thought expected former know-how. Often the plans necessary to include the "knowledge" that the exact problem displayed an actual collection of symptoms. For the AJAI locality, the fact that obscure knowledge located in the minds regarding "Experts" has been superior for you to content material publication understanding.
Hence they called the programs, which solved this type of problems, Specialized Systems. Experienced Systems been able goal focused problem handling jobs for example verdict, organizing, booking, settings plus structure. Strategy associated with knowledge manifestation was with "If, next… " procedures. When the particular "If" aspect of a new rule was basically satisfied, the "Then" section of the rule had been concluded. All these became law based Expert Systems. But knowledge seemed to be sometimes informative and in furthermore, lache. Factico information have crystal clear result in to be able to impression human relationships, where crystal clear results could very well be sucked from concrete principles. Pain appeared to be one connected with a condition. In the event the illness consistently revealed problems, next suffering specific to your disorder. Nonetheless fuzzy plus judgmental information appeared to be identified as heuristic understanding. The idea was more of an art work. This warning sign wouldn't mechanically examine illnesses, which sometimes demonstrated serious pain. Bias did not render concrete reviews. The AJE community tried to solve this issue by indicating a statistical, or heuristic analysis regarding uncertainty. The probabilities were showed by true numbers or even by sinks of real-valued vectors.
The vectors were assessed by suggests of varied "fuzzy" aspects. The parts from the sizings were being posted, giving the exact basis in the numerical areas. Variations were definitely combined, applying methods meant for calculating pairing of variances. The combined uncertainty and its components were definitely expressed available as "standard deviations. " Concern was supplied some exact phrase, which often was hardly ever useful in the very diagnosis of an ailment. The individual thought process does not work out mathematical human relationships to compare anxiety. The actual mind realized that the certain warning sign directed to a possibility, because it implemented feelings, an operation of reduction, to quickly distinguish motifs. Vague information and facts seemed to be strongly beneficial to a good elimination method, since they taken away a lot of other available options. If the exact sufferer was missing soreness, many ailments, which usually always shown pain, could possibly be eliminated. Illnesses, which quite often exhibited problems were maintained. Further indicators helped identity from a new reduced storage system. Examples was basically simplier and easier from a smaller sized group. Anxiety could often be powerfully useful for the elimination method.
Pure intuition was an algorithm, which looked at the total list, reducing each circumstance that performed not healthy. This mode of operation has power Expert Systems which behaved speedily to recognize a disorder, distinguish a new case legislation or spot the challenges associated with a difficult device. The idea was easy, holistic, in addition to logical. In the event that several simultaneous answers could possibly be presented, for example the many different parameters associated with a power plant, recognition seemed to be instantaneous. Pertaining to the thoughts, where a lot of parameters were being simultaneously introduced, real occasion style recognition was initially sensible. And treatment is the key element, which could definitivelydeterminately, once and for all, once for all control doubt, with no hotel to in a cloud calculations.
Often the Artificial Intellect community desired to recognize human being cleverness by building computer packages, which often presented brilliant patterns. Intellect ended up being understood as a concern solving ability. Most man problems seemed to have reasoned, rather compared to mathematical, merchandise. The actual analysis of a disease could not be calculated. Any time a individual got any group for indicators, next the lady acquired a specific disease. However like thought requested former experience. The exact courses wanted to get the "knowledge" that the main disease displayed a precise collection of problems. For typically the AJAJAI locality, of which obscure awareness coping in the very minds about "Experts" was initially superior towards word e-book expertise.
So they called the programs, which often solved like problems, Expert Systems. Expert Systems been able goal focused problem eliminating work such as identification, organizing, scheduling, setup in addition to layout. One method connected with knowledge counsel was thru "If, then simply… " rules. When the exact "If" area of a good rule was initially satisfied, next the "Then" part of the rule was initially concluded. These kinds of became concept based Specialized Systems. Although knowledge was sometimes factico and with also, obscure. Informative awareness had very clear induce in order to impression marriages, where very clear results could be sucked from concrete procedures. Pain has been one associated with a condition. If ever the illness always revealed discomfort, then simply soreness indicated towards disease. But lache and judgmental skills was initially described as heuristic understanding. It again was many an craft. This k?nnetecken cannot mechanically point out health conditions, which inturn once in a while exhibited agony. Uncertainty would not render concrete responses. The AJAJAI community attempted to solve this issue by recommending a data, or heuristic analysis regarding uncertainty. Many were listed by serious numbers or by models of real-valued vectors.
The vectors were re-evaluated by usually means of different "fuzzy" concepts. The parts belonging to the dimensions happen to be outlined, getting typically the basis with the numerical values. Variations ended up combined, employing methods regarding computer combo of differences. The joined together uncertainty and components happen to be expressed like "standard deviations. " Uncertainness was supplied the precise concept, which often was hardly useful for the actual identification of an ailment. The human thoughts do not compute mathematical marriages to decide uncertainty. The particular mind learned that any specific indicator indicated that will a route, because it all utilised pure intuition, a procedure regarding removing, that will quickly recognize behaviours. Hazy material seemed to be powerfully important to a elimination progression, since these eradicated several other opportunities. If the exact affected individual was missing discomfort, all disorders, which usually always established pain, may be eliminated. Ailments, which from time to time exhibited discomfort were stored. Further signs or symptoms helped id from your reduced collection. Various has been less difficult from a lesser group. Doubt could come to be incredibly useful for a strong elimination method.
Predatory instincts was an algorithm, which assessed the full storage system, abolishing every single wording that would not in shape. This formula has motorized Expert Systems which served speedily to celebrate a condition, discern some case legislation or diagnose the complications of a complicated appliance. That was easy, holistic, and logical. If perhaps several parallel answers can be presented, as with the many parameters associated with a power seed, realization had been prompt. Pertaining to the thoughts, where numerous parameters was simultaneously introduced, real time period style reputation appeared to be practical. In addition to removal is the major, that may definitivelydeterminately, once and for all, once for all control anxiety, without having vacation resort to hypothetical calculations.
The Artificial Data community found to fully grasp human being intellect because they build laptop or computer products, which often shown sensible behaviour. Learning ability seemed to be identified to become issue solving power. Most our problems seemed to have reasoned, rather compared with numerical, remedies. The exact verdict of labeled could almost never become computed. In cases where a affected person possessed any group involving problems, next your lover previously had a precise illness. But , like thought essential past expertise. The exact applications was required to own the "knowledge" that the very diseases shown a specific crew of indicators. For often the AK group, that hazy understanding existing in the exact minds connected with "Experts" ended up being superior so that you can wording e book expertise.
Thus they called the programs, which will solved these problems, Expert Systems. Professional Systems handled goal focused problem dealing with tasks such as verdict, planning ahead, appointment time, arrangement plus layout. One method associated with knowledge portrayal was thru "If, subsequently… " protocols. When the "If" component of a rule appeared to be satisfied, then your "Then" the main rule had been concluded. These became principle based Skilled Systems. However , knowledge seemed to be sometimes factual and during many times, imprecise. Informative awareness have very clear cause to be able to impression marriages, just where sharp judgements could very well be sucked from concrete regulations. Pain seemed to be one symptom of a disorder. When the disorder continually revealed pain, afterward suffering sharp to the condition. Nonetheless hazy in addition to judgmental awareness appeared to be referred to as heuristic knowledge. It again was many an street art. The pain indicator could hardly mechanically indicate conditions, which inturn on occasion exhibited soreness. Anxiety does not generate concrete replies. The AJAJAI community tried to solve this challenge by saying a data, or heuristic analysis involving uncertainty. The probabilities were available by actual numbers or maybe by models of real-valued vectors.
The vectors were examined by means of various "fuzzy" guidelines. The elements of the weighings have been shown, supplying the actual basis with the numerical prices. Variations was combined, implementing methods for scheming mix of differences. The put together uncertainty as well as components had been expressed such as "standard deviations. " Uncertainty was given some sort of math term, which usually was barely useful with the exact prognosis of a sickness. The real human thought process would not compute mathematical romantic relationships to examine uncertainty. The very mind believed that a good specific manifestation sharp to help a chance, because them employed feelings, an activity associated with fading, that will instantaneously distinguish designs. Fuzzy information ended up being incredibly beneficial to some sort of elimination technique, since some people eradicated a number of other possibilities. If the actual affected individual was lacking ache, virtually all diseases, which inturn always established pain, might be eliminated. Health conditions, which at times exhibited serious pain were reused. Further indications helped individuality from a new greatly reduced list. Some has been much easier by a little group. Doubt could get strongly helpful for a elimination process.
Intuition was an algorithm, which assessed the whole entire databases, do not include each setting which will have not fit. This tone has power Expert Solutions which were speedily to acknowledge a diseases, discover the case regulations or analyze the troubles on the challenging machine. The item was easy, holistic, in addition to logical. In cases where several parallel answers is usually presented, such as the multiple parameters to a power herb, popularity was basically on the spot. For the your head, where scores of parameters ended up simultaneously displayed, real time period routine acceptance appeared to be handy. And also treatment was the critical, that could effectively deal with bias, devoid of vacation resort hotel to no picnic calculations.
The very Artificial Brains community looked for to comprehend real human brains constructing desktop computer courses, of which revealed wise habit. Intelligence seemed to be thought of as being a trouble solving ability. Most real human problems appeared to have reasoned, rather compared with precise, merchandise.

MUN tuition increases will hit most vulnerable
Published on May 13, 2015 in Power and Dissent by Jon Parsons
Memorial University is set to increase tuition for international students, graduate students, and medical students, as well as raising residence fees for those living on campus, to try and make up for a $20 million decrease in funding from the provincial government.
Specifics of the university's plans are sketchy, though information has been leaking out of meetings between student unions and Memorial's president Gary Kachanoski. As reported in the student paper The Muse, and confirmed at a Memorial senate meeting on May 12, 30 per cent tuition increases on international and graduate students will attempt to make up $4.8 million, while 30 per cent increases in residence fees will attempt to make up $1.9 million, or a combined $6.7 million of the $20 million in cuts to the university's funding.
Student union leadership has also suggested the university's administration has been intransigent with respect to the possibility of negotiation or collaboration and appears to be marching in lock-step with directives from the provincial government.
Government, university administration strategy
To understand the strategy of the tuition and fee increases for students, it is first worth noting that the university has different sorts of budgets, namely capital and operating budgets. The capital budget includes the construction of new buildings, like the new $325 million science building, and so no one should be surprised that later this year another major construction project will be underway on campus.
This is just to say that the issue is not that the university is broke, but that money is directed in particular ways.
The operating budget, on the other hand, covers the day-to-day running of the university, including salaries and wages which are the largest ticket items on the operating sheet. Tuition from students and residence fees contribute to the operating budget, as does the $325 million in funding from the provincial government. It is in this operational stream that the provincial government has cut $20 million.
The university will attempt to make up this $20 million shortfall in various ways: cuts, fee increases, consolidation of services, perhaps layoffs or job attrition. However, what should be immediately apparent to those who have been following the province's 2015 budget is that $20 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the $1.1 billion deficit the province is expected to run this year.
The province could have absorbed this $20 million into an already outrageous deficit – which is really the fault of financial mismanagement by government — and it would have made little overall difference. But the decision was made to cut funding to Memorial and to raise tuition on some students. Why?
The obvious answer is that government is telegraphing its intention to continue a series of cuts over the coming years. The current round of tuition and fee increases are merely the opening salvos of what will be a continuous stream of the same. It is likely that after the next provincial election, later this year, the PCs will fall and a different party will take up the reins of government, but this does not mean a new government will pursue a different course, and perhaps will feel compelled after seeing the true state of the province's finances to attempt to impose severe austerity measures across the board.
In this year's budget, the province gave more than twice the amount of money to Nalcor, the province's Crown energy corporation in charge of building Muskrat Falls, than to Memorial University. By comparison, the cuts to MUN this year are but a drop in the bucket, and the province could have absorbed them into its already outrageous deficit, says Jon Parsons. Illustration by Jon Parsons.
In short, next year's budget can be expected to cut deeper into Memorial's operating budget, and raising undergraduate tuition (the only group unaffected in the current round) will be in play. Tuition and fee increases this year are a cynical attempt to divide the student population into manageable groups in order to mitigate resistance. And it is for this reason that student unions, and the student population generally, must make a decisive stand here and now.
Worse than the attempt by government and university administration to divide and conquer is that their strategy deliberately targets those who are most vulnerable. International students are in a precarious position because they have so little political agency in Canada. They will likely feel as though they cannot speak out for fear of being branded as subversive or ungrateful for the opportunity to study at Memorial.
International students and graduate students will also feel vulnerable since if they protest or speak out they may be easily washed out of their academic programs or departments. Whether this would actually happen is less important, from the perspective of university administration, than the fear it will induce – the university has many hierarchies and differences in power that can keep students in check.
Increasing residence fees for on-campus housing is likewise preying on vulnerability, since many students (and their parents) do not want to have to deal with the pitfalls of finding rental accommodation off-campus, preferring instead the stability and relative security of residence life.
Overall, the provincial government and the university have developed a strategy to divide the student population and to attack fragmented and vulnerable groups individually. It is an insidious and cowardly approach by a provincial government attempting to retain political purchase in an election year, aided by the collaboration of university administration.
Why (and how) students should fight back
Perhaps the most harmful aspect of the financialization of the university (of turning the university into a business) is that it understands education as a relationship between a consumer (students) and a service provider. The most common rationale for increasing tuition at Memorial is, and will continue to be, that students pay the lowest tuition in the country and, thus, an increase is only reasonable.
However, as anyone who has taken a first year education course can tell you, the service provider model is not the only way to understand education. It is not my intention here to write an essay on pedagogy, just to point out that the constructivist theory of education suggests that knowledge is created, rather than being something that exists somewhere out in the world to be hunted down and captured. Two of the many well-known modern theorists whose work is inspired by constructivist approaches include Paulo Freire and bell hooks.
In 2012 people in St. John's marched in solidarity with students in Quebec, who were striking against increased tuition fees as part of their government's austerity program. The same thing is now happening in Newfoundland and Labrador. "What we need is a united front of students at Memorial, solidarity in the face of a divisionary strategy by government and university administration," says Jon Parsons. Photo by Jon Parsons.
If we understand education as a collective project of producing knowledge, then students are actively involved in this project and are essentially workers in a field. Not only should there be no tuition, but students should be paid a fair wage for their work. It's all about perspective.
Of course, many will scoff at this even though constructivism and critical pedagogy are basic elements of contemporary theories of education. Even though it is highly unlikely the university will entirely drop the business model, it is nonetheless important to remember that tuition is by no means necessary or given except according to an ideological perspective, and that this financial model of the university is not universal.
Our goal, as students, should be not only to maintain a tuition freeze, but to have no tuition at all. On an even more basic level, in terms of negotiation and compromise within the current understanding of the university, why should students be expected to make concessions for nothing in return? What additional services is the university offering for increased tuition and fees? It is a basic element of negotiation that one side will not give up what has already been won for nothing in return.
What we need is a united front of students at Memorial, solidarity in the face of a divisionary strategy by government and university administration. We need to popularize alternative ideas of what it means to be students and the role students play in creating knowledge. We need to get organized and demonstrate that we can and will fight back.
Because if this current attack against students succeeds it will be all the more difficult to resist down the road.
There will be a meeting for students this Thursday at 6 p.m. in Engineering 2043 to discuss the issue of tuition increases and decide what is to be done. Come out and show your solidarity with the student cause. More information is available here.

The horse show NIC Assen is held for the 59th time this year. The chariot race is one of the highlights of the five-day event. The list of participants is included the gold country team of the World Equestrian Games in Caen, consisting of Chardon, Koos de Ronde and Theo Timmerman.
Last week we spent with three American basketball players of Aris Leeuwarden visiting the clog. Miles Jackson-Cartwright, Ryan Watkins and Marquise Simmons obviously got himself some nice Aris-klomen gift and were very happy about that! This week we bring the three Americans to visit the cheese farm in Rijperkerk.
In 2012 marathon skater Karlo Timmerman stopped from Groningen quite suddenly with skates. But blood is thicker than water can not flow and thus makes the 27-year-old skater his comeback this season. Carpenter would qualify over three years for the Olympics in 2018, and therefore focuses in the coming years on the long track and the mass start.


Children and teens with type 1 diabetes are already at increased risk for becoming overweight or obese, but certain traits make the odds even higher, according to a new study.
Because obesity can compound some of the health problems that go along with diabetes, it's important to help kids avoid weight gain, researchers say.
Elke Frohlich-Reiterer, of Medical University Graz in Austria, and her colleagues analyzed data collected from 250 diabetes centers in Germany and Austria; altogether, there were 12,774 participants in the study.
All the kids were under the age of 20 and had type 1 diabetes, which used to be known as juvenile diabetes because it typically appears during childhood.
In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system destroys the cells of the pancreas that normally produce the insulin necessary for processing sugars in food. The other variety - type 2 diabetes - occurs when the body doesn't properly use insulin.
The children in the study were grouped by age: under five years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years and 15-20 years. They were also divided into categories based on how long they had had diabetes: less than two years, 2-5 years, 5-10 years and more than 10 years.
The researchers found that being female, a younger age when diabetes was first diagnosed and having diabetes for a longer time were all linked to a bigger jump in body mass index, a measure of weight relative to height and peer group.
Using short-acting insulin medicines was also linked to greater weight gain in girls, whereas using long-acting insulin was linked to more weight gain in boys.
Finally, girls who developed diabetes around the time they went through puberty - between the ages of 10 and 15 years old - were more likely to have gained excess weight.
"The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity and associated risk factors among youth are major global health problems," the authors write in the paper, which was published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.
"As children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are also at increased risk to develop overweight and obesity, weight gain is an important aspect in the care of children and adolescents with (the disease)," making it important to figure out which factors indicate a higher risk of this excess weight gain, they write.
The study reinforces what's already known about young people with diabetes, who are at an increased risk of excess weight gain as they grow up, a researcher not involved in the study said.
But the new work also "provides additional insight into important factors for the development of obesity," said Karen Peterson, a researcher in nutrition at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Weight gain among people with diabetes is especially detrimental because the risks of diabetes and obesity overlap and can be additive, she said.
"Higher weights can exacerbate the insulin resistance that comes with diabetes. And obesity has some of the same metabolic issues diabetes does, such as adding to risk factors (for heart disease)," Peterson told Reuters Health.
That's why it's particularly important for kids with diabetes to maintain healthy habits, keeping in mind that some weight gain during childhood and adolescence is normal and healthy.
Peterson recommends that parents track their child's pattern of weight gain, but instead of focusing on weight, "emphasize an overall healthy diet that includes more fruits, veggies, and complex carbohydrates, and which is coupled with active play," she said.
<20 years, were recorded in 248 centres. 12 774 patients (53% male, mean age 13.4±3.9, mean diabetes duration 4.7±3.0 years and mean age at diabetes onset 8.7±4.0 years) were included in this analysis. Population-based German reference data were used to calculate BMI-SDS and define overweight and obesity.


Judging of Floats 1, 2 and 3, .
Thank you Mandy Cartwright (our valued Secretary) for suggesting this theme, its brilliant !!
What is a Classic Vehicle; good question? we love the classics which is why we have included this with it's own category; anything from army vehicles, classic cars, buses etc, but i think you will agree its worth it as we are inviting anyone with a classic car to join in the carnival so if your number plate is in good old black and silver then this may be for you.


Those new Windows 10 apps have permission to run in the background so they can update their live tiles, fetch new data, and receive notifications. Even if you never even touch them, they may drain some battery power. But you can control which apps are allowed to run in the background.
Even if you do use universal apps, you don't necessarily want them running in the background. For example, by default, apps like the "Get Office" app–which only exists to bug you about purchasing Microsoft Office–have permission to run in the background.
Apps have have permission to run in the background will show up on the battery usage screen, which estimates how much power each one uses on your system. But you don't need to wait for them to start draining battery power–if you don't use them, you might as well disable them right now.
To see which apps have permission to run in the background, open the Start menu or Start screen and select "Settings." Click or tap the "Privacy" icon in the Settings window.
Bear in mind that there's a downside to this. If you prevent the Alarms app from running in the background, for example, any alarms you set won't go off. If you prevent the Mail app from running in the background, it won't notify you of new emails. Apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in the background. If you don't care, feel free to prevent the app from running in the background. You can still use the app normally, but you may have to wait for it to fetch new data after you launch it.
You could also use Battery Saver mode to accomplish this. When Battery Saver mode is activated, no apps will run in the background unless you specifically allow them to. This will save battery power. Battery saver mode is activated automatically when your battery falls to 20% by default, but you can also activate it by tapping or clicking the battery icon in your notification area and tapping or clicking the "Battery saver" quick settings tile.
This is particularly useful if you're fine with apps running in the background most of the time, but you want to cut them off to save power when you really need to stretch your battery.
You can customize Battery Saver mode from the Settings app, too. Open the Settings app, select "System," select the "Battery saver" category, and click or tap the "Battery saver settings" link. Apps won't be allowed to run in the background while Battery Saver mode is enabled unless manually add them to the "Always allowed" list here.
None of these settings control traditional Windows desktop apps, unfortunately. They only apply to Windows 10's new mobile-style universal apps–originally known as "Metro" apps on Windows 8, which Windows 10 has more control over. That's why this process is similar to how you'd prevent apps from running in the background on an iPhone or iPad.
If you want to prevent desktop apps from running in the background, you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way: close desktop applications when you aren't using them. You should also ensure apps aren't hiding in your notification area and running in the background there. Click or tap the arrow to the left of your system tray to view all system tray icons, then right-click and close any applications you don't want running in the background. You can use the Startup tab in the Task Manager to prevent these background apps from automatically loading when you sign in, too.


Unsurprisingly, Iran continues to abide by its commitments under the multilateral nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), according to the most recent report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The report is the first since a tranche of U.S. sanctions reimposed by U.S. President Donald Trump in violation of the JCPOA entered into full effect Aug. 7.
IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano told the agency's Board of Governors Sept. 10 that "Iran is implementing its nuclear-related commitments" and urged Tehran to continue to fully abide by the deal.
Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched to 3.67 percent uranium-235 was 139.4 kilograms, well below the limit of 300 kilograms of uranium hexafluoride enriched to that level set by the deal. When the last IAEA report was issued in May, Iran's stockpile was 123.9 kilograms.
The number of centrifuges operated remained below the 5,060 IR-1-limit set by the JCPOA.
All enrichment levels have remained below 3.67 percent uranium-235, the level set by the deal, and enrichment levels are being monitored continuously.
Iran withdrew 34 IR-1 centrifuges from storage to replace damaged machines enriching uranium.
Iran's research and development activities using advanced centrifuges comply with the plan submitted to the IAEA.
Iran's heavy water stockpile was 122.9 metric tons, below the 130-ton limit. The IAEA also verified that 2.1 metric tons of heavy water were shipped out of Iran since the prior report in May. When the May report was issued, Iran's stockpile of heavy water was 120 metric tons.
No construction activities at the Arak heavy water reactor (now renamed Khondab Heavy Water Research Reactor) have taken place based on its original design.
The report does not mention the new centrifuge production facility that Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said was "inaugurated" Sept. 10. The construction of a new facility to produce centrifuges does not violate the JCPOA, but if Tehran were to actually manufacture centrifuges outside of the narrow scope of production permitted by the nuclear deal, it would be a violation.
In the last quarterly report issued by the IAEA in May, the agency said that although inspectors received all the access requested, "timely and proactive cooperation by Iran in providing such access would facilitate implementation of the Additional Protocol and enhance confidence." Amano repeated that request in his June 4 remarks to the IAEA Board.
The Aug. 30 report includes a similar line with a subtle difference, namely that the word "would" is struck from the sentence, so that it reads "timely and proactive cooperation by Iran in providing such access facilitates implementation of the Additional Protocol and enhances confidence," perhaps reflecting that Iran's cooperation with IAEA inspections has improved. Amano also did not reference the request for timely cooperation in his opening remarks to the board Sept. 10, like he did in June.
While the IAEA reports do not contain any details on what sites the agency visits outside of Iran's declared nuclear program, there are some indications that inspections took place at two universities in Iran in July. According to several news outlets, protests broke out over the IAEA presence. It is positive that the IAEA is conducting complementary access inspections and Tehran is complying, despite the protests.
The Aug. 30 report said that Iran has provided additional information to the IAEA over its naval nuclear propulsion plans. The IAEA requested earlier this year that Iran update its additional protocol accordingly to reflect the plans. Salehi said Sept. 10 it would be 10-15 years before the propulsion project would be completed and that all current activities related are JCPOA-compliant.
While Tehran's compliance with the limits set by the JCPOA is positive news, continued adherence should not be taken for granted. With U.S. sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector coming into effect Nov. 5, relief envisioned by the JCPOA is further threatened. Iranian officials have said Iran will resume nuclear activities limited by the JCPOA if the remaining P4+1 parties to the deal (China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom) and the European Union do not do more to counteract U.S. sanctions.
While Tehran's anger and frustration with Trump's blatant violation of the JCPOA is understandable, it remains in Iran's best interests to continue to implement the accord and continue to work with the P4+1 on options to mitigate the effect of U.S. sanctions. Iran has no practical need to ramp up its nuclear program and doing so would be highly destabilizing.

Tight race car causes Charlotte fade for Dale Jr.
By Chris EstradaOct 13, 2013, 6:03 PM EDT
Dale Earnhardt Jr. looked as strong as his Hendrick Motorsports teammates early in last night's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but fell back to a 15th-place result as handling issues progressively got worse on his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
Earnhardt led 19 laps in the opening stages of his 500th career Sprint Cup start, but a long green-flag run following a restart at Lap 178 proved detrimental as his car went tight on him.
By the time the final caution came out for debris with 28 laps to go, he had been lapped and had also fallen to 14th in the running order.
"The car was real quick at the start of the race and I was real happy with the speed," Earnhardt said about his night. "The 5 [Kasey Kahne] was really good and the 48 [Jimmie Johnson] got really good, but I still thought we had a Top-5 car. We lost a rubber out of the right-rear spring or something like that, but it just would not turn at all that last half of the race pretty much. We're just trying to figure out what's going on.
"…The car just don't get that tight from running that good without any adjustments. We were freeing it up – moving the track bar, taking wedge out and it just kept getting tighter and tighter."
As a result, Earnhardt dropped one spot to ninth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup (66 points behind Chase leader Matt Kenseth) and now finds himself in a battle to stay in the Top 10 of the standings. Carl Edwards sits 10th at one point behind Earnhardt, while Joey Logano is just nine points behind Earnhardt in 11th place.

Ancillary Mercy
The conclusion to the trilogy that began with ANCILLARY JUSTICE
The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke award-winning ANCILLARY JUSTICE.
For just a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Atheok Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist - someone who might be a refugee from a ship that's been hiding beyond the empire's reach for three thousand years. In the meantime a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai - ruler of an empire that's at war with itself.
Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger.
Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.
