RMA announces SHIP awards
The Rubber Manufacturers Association recognized 75 tire and rubber manufacturing facilities for improvements in worker health and safety with SHIP awards.
The RMA's Safety and Health Improvement Program (SHIP) was created in 1981.
"Worker safety is a top priority for RMA members and we believe it is important to recognize achievements in this area," says CEO and President Donald Shea. "The SHIP award is recognition of companies' superior achievement to protect their workers."
Two categories of awards are presented to companies that demonstrate workplace safety improvements, which are measured by the incidence rate for lost workday cases.
1. The "Excellence" category is for facilities that achieve an incidence rate that is 75% better than the average achieved by plants that provided data to RMA.
Domestic tire manufacturers receiving Excellence awards for their plants were Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire LLC (Aiken County, S.C.), Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (Oliver Rubber Co., Asheboro, N.C.),
Michelin North America Inc. (Starr, S.C.) and Pirelli Tire North America Inc. (Rome, Ga.).
2. The "Improvement" award is for plants that achieve an incidence rate that is both 10% better than its rate in the previous year and the same or better than the RMA average incidence rate.
Domestic tire manufacturers receiving Improvement awards were Bridgestone/Firestone (Bloomington, Ill.), Continental Tire North America Inc. (Mount Vernon, Ill., and Bryan, Ohio), Cooper (Asheboro), Michelin (two plants in Lexington, S.C.; Spartanburg and Starr, S.C.; and Dothan, Ala.) and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (Fayetteville, N.C.; Danville, Va.; and Lawton, Okla.). Goodyear also received an Improvement Award for its now closed Huntsville, Ala., facility.
Two hundred plants from 48 RMA member companies supplied data for the annual survey to determine the extent of workplace safety improvements. The data supplied to RMA is identical to information provided to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, which publishes injury and illness information on all industries.

Here's another in my series of mini blogs, inspired by some of my favourite business books/authors.
Social media is transforming the way we live and do business.
This is a massive socio-economic shift that is fundamentally changing the way consumers and companies communicate with each other.
Traditional marketing strategies are obsolete, and have been replaced by Socialnomics, where online communities influence companies and markets.
Brands can now be strengthened or destroyed by social media. Advertising is less effective. Companies and customers can now connect direct.
Word of mouth is now World of mouth – international instantly.
Social media provides a preventative role: what happens in Vegas now stays on YouTube.
On the downside, it facilitates braggadocian behaviour – self-centred, 'it's all about me'.
The old adage that you can only have two out of three of cheap, quick or quality isn't true in social media – you can have all three because someone may already have done part of it for you.

Q: sinon not detecting private function called inside promise i am quit new to sinon and rewire. I am trying to check if private function was called with in promise. Private function stubbed is getting called, But sinon not detecting the call. below is my code snipped.
file.test.js
var fileController = rewire('./file')

var stub = sinon.stub().returns("abc")
fileController.__set__('privFunc', stub)
fileController.sampleFunc()
expect(stub).to.be.called

file.js
let otherFile = require('otherFile')

var privFunc = function(data) {

}

var sampleFunc = function() {
    otherFile.buildSomeThing.then(function(data) {
        privFunc(data)
    })
}

module.exports = {sampleFunc}

In above code snipped, privFunc is actually getting called ie. stub is getting called, But sinon not detecting call.

var privFunc = function(data) {

}

var sampleFunc = function() {
    privFunc(data)
}

module.exports = {sampleFunc}

But this above snippet works fine. ie. when private function is called directly

A: Your otherFile.buildSomeThing is async, you need to await it before checking if the privFunc stub has been called.
e.g:
file.js
let otherFile = require('otherFile')

var privFunc = function(data) {

}

var sampleFunc = function() {
    return otherFile.buildSomeThing.then(function(data) {
        privFunc(data)
    })
}

module.exports = {sampleFunc}

file.test.js
var fileController = rewire('./file')

var stub = sinon.stub().returns("abc")
fileController.__set__('privFunc', stub)
fileController.sampleFunc().then(() => {
  expect(stub).to.have.been.called;
});

If you're using mocha, you could use something like this:
describe('file.js test cases', () => {
  let stub, reset;
  let fileController = rewire('./file');

  beforeEach(() => {
    stub = sinon.stub().returns("abc");
    reset = fileController.__set__('privFunc', stub);
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    reset();
  });

  it('sampleFunc calls privFunc', async () => {
    await fileController.sampleFunc();
    expect(stub).to.have.been.called;
  });
});

Q: Sublime 3 Stopped Working on Ubuntu 14.04 after System Crash Aloha - of course this could be a sublime text issue, but here goes the issue just in case someone can point me in the right direction.
I have been using Sublime 3 on Ubuntu without issue. Yesterday my computer froze up and I had to hard reboot. Sublime text was running when I had to do the hard boot. Then when computer reloaded, I could not open sublime text, the icon shows in the left sidebar as sublime text is running when I open it, and when I use "alt + tab" to rotate through open applications it is there as an icon. However the application is just not actually opening for me to use it, the GUI is just not showing. If I "alt+tab" to it, nothing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Sublime Text 3 also, but still the same issue.

A: If an application does not work after a crash
Remove ~/.config/sublime-text-3, immediately log out and back in. I am pretty sure it will work then.
In these situations, local files can get corrupted, rather then the global ones. The fact that you reinstalled Sublime Text with no success is another indication the cause is locally.

A: In my opinion, the previous answer is a bit over the top. It's likely enough to delete the .sublime-session files in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local. Your configuration will stay intact, as will all installed packages and the license data (if available.)

[Dash of SAS] The macho dancer
'Our jobs don't make us bad people. We're entertainers, we entertain all the people who come through our doors. We make them happy.'

DANCER. Emmerson prepares in the dressing room before the show. Photos by Ana P. Santos/Rappler
ANGELES CITY, Pampanga – The dressing room is cramped and chaotic. Girls and guys are elbow to elbow on a bench, each busy with his or her own reflection in the mirror.
Emmerson puts on his make-up quickly, surely. He knows exactly how to apply it so his light skin doesn't look too pale under the lights but still matches the rest of his body which will be exposed when he goes on stage.
The transwomen performers wiggle into their tops to dress up before going on stage. Emmerson takes off his muscle shirt to strip down to tight-fitting boy shorts, and knee-high cowboy boots. The knee pads he is wearing look odd in this ensemble, but they are a safety accessory more than a costume adornment.
The sound of blaring music adds to the chaos, with the DJ, who sounds like he's annotating a live horse race, providing the only signal of order.
Emmerson hears the familiar introduction that is his cue.
He struts in front of the mirror for one last check of the lavacara (towel or tissue) that adds a suggestive bulk between his legs. He slowly steps out from behind the curtain. On stage, his moves are deliberate, the swivel of his hips just a bit exaggerated. Holding a steady and heated gaze with an audience, he gets down on his knees to arch his back and sensuously run his hands down his chest, stopping to suggestively tug at the top of his boy shorts.
He could imagine performing for someone, but 14 years of dancing have been enough practice to hold a steady heated gaze with the audience. He has memorized this routine of scripted movement that has become somewhat of a cliché for a macho dancer or "hosto" as they are commonly referred to.
"I started dancing when I was 18 back in Manila," recalled Emmerson.
His girlfriend at the time was working in a bar. She came home with wads of bills each night and he became envious. When her uncle opened a gay bar in Quezon City and was looking for dancers, Emmerson signed up, lured by the prospect of easy money.
And the money came, as much as P2,000 a night in tips and cuts from drinks customers ordered.
Furiously blushing young women would slip a bill into his jock strap and run back to her table of giggling girlfriends out for a bachelorette party. But the real money came from the gay men and the older women with means.
"The matrons," Emmerson called them, would come in looking for a distraction, or on occasion, company. These were the ones who were heartbroken, newly separated and vengeful. Some were lonely.
The gay guys would keep the drinks pouring, while he kept busy deflecting wandering hands. If it was a guest who he was fond of, Emmerson would tease and say, "Not here. Later.'"
The more aggressive ones are met with a playful rebuke loaded with meaning. "Sinasabihan ko sila pero pabiro. Hindi porke't ganito trabaho namin, pwede kami ganyanin. Namimili din naman kami." (I tell them off but in a joking way. Just because this is our job, they can do anything they want. We're also choosy.)
Occasionally, a guest will come in and become a benefactor. Emmerson once stopped dancing when a former gay guest gave him P100,000 to start a business.
"I was maybe 19 then," he recalled. "I was young and not good with finances. The money was quickly gone and the lover disappeared soon after."
Emmerson went back to dancing, the only other job he had. Dancing was his only skill – that and entertaining both men and women who would seek his company outside of the bar. He learned early on that each clientele needed to be handled differently.
"With the women, you have to court them first. When we meet up outside, we watch a movie, eat out, hold hands – there are feelings."
The more generous ones take him shopping and buy him clothes. But no money is exchanged. So Emmerson asks that she come visit him in the bar to see him perform.
"Give and take, right? I meet her outside and she comes here where we will sit and order drinks."
Emmerson gets a P100-cut for each P310 drink she orders and his bar manager gets the impression that he is a marketable asset to the bar.
"The female guests are not as galante (generous) as the males," said Prezie, the bar manager. "With the women, parang may naka-budget lang para sa bar at ito lang ang gagastusin nila." (With the women, it's like they have a cap on what they're willing to spend at the bar.)
"Our jobs don't make us bad people. We're entertainers, we entertain all the people who come through our doors. We make them happy," said Emmerson.
But he admits getting attached to guests. "Relasyon yan. May feelings, hindi maiiwasan," he says. (It's a relationship. There are feelings, you can't help it.)
Feelings are an occupational hazard. There is the angry cuckolded husband, the jealous rivalries with other dancers from the other bars when they find out they have been keeping the same guest "company", the one upmanship when comparing gifts and favors.
Now, on a good night, he can make as much as P1,000.
It's a lot less than what he used to get in Manila, but he considers himself lucky to still have a job. "In this business, the name of the game is face value. At 32, I know I'm getting too old for this. I'm lucky my manager still gave me a chance here," a grin creeping up on his boyish features.
Emmerson has set a cut-off for himself. He'll stop dancing at 35, before his body gives way to the forces of time, before he feels the curse of the dancer who refuses to retire when his time is up. "Ayoko makarinig ng, 'Ay, and tanda naman nyan.'" (I don't want to hear, "Oh, but he's so old already.")
He is not sure what he would do when he gets to 35, but insists he only has one regret: not getting a diploma. "I didn't even finish high school," he said.
"But you never know, I still might get lucky. I might still meet someone who will take me away from here." – Rappler.com

India in Renault's top 15 list, but challenges remain
Our Bureau | Updated on: May 10, 2018
Auto Expo 2018: Renault showcases 2 EVs
Renault-Nissan group pips VW to become top-selling carmaker in 2017
Renault's new outlet in Hyderabad
Carving out a niche in Maruti-dominated market is not easy
India is in the 13th place on Renault's list of top 15 global markets for the January-March quarter of 2018. The French auto-maker had declared its results in Paris a fortnight ago.
The first five in this list are France, Russia, Italy, Germany and Spain. Brazil has jumped to the sixth position, which clearly means that its once beleaguered economy is now on the mend. Argentina follows next and then you have Iran, the UK, Turkey and China. Just ahead of India is Luxembourg in the 12th place while South Korea and Algeria take up the last two positions.
At one level, it could be argued that India features in a pretty important list, which is some cause for pride. Yet, for a country which is on its way to becoming the third-largest car producer in the world, Renault needs to step on the gas harder. China is a new market for the company and it has still surged ahead of India, which is not surprising considering that it produces nearly 10 times the number of cars every year. The figures released on Renault's website show that it sold 21,907 vehicles in India during the first three months of this year, translating into market penetration of 2.7 per cent.
Tall order
Ideally, this should have been around five per cent but even that is a tall order in a market where Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai have a combined share of nearly 70 per cent. The balance is accounted for by Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Honda, Toyota, Renault, Nissan, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen and luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.
In short, there are at least a dozen other brands vying for the balance 30-odd per cent share of the pie, which pretty much reflects how competitive the Indian market is. To that extent, there are no two ways about the fact that Renault has made a mark with its Kwid, though the challenge is to sustain the numbers. The Duster had made a considerable impact earlier but has had to reckon with tremendous competition in the SUV space.
There is no question that Maruti Suzuki has been relentlessly building on its market leadership base without showing any signs of complacency. With a share of over 50 per cent, almost all its offerings have hit the bull's-eye and today it comfortably averages over 1.5 lakh units every month.
Tough competition
Renault, to its credit, proved to be a worthy challenger with the Kwid, but this was just one product tipped against a huge range from Maruti.
This is also true for Hyundai, which has successful offerings across a slew of segments be it the i10, i20, Verna and Creta.
It has also been around for over two decades with its debut product, Santro, paving the way for a solid drive. Next year will see its group company, Kia Motors, making its debut in the SUV space. Likewise, MG Motor from China's SAIC will also launch its SUV in India, which means that competition will only increase.
Renault's focus on frugal engineering resulted in a competitive price offering for the Kwid, which soon caught the imagination of the market.
It also helped grow the brand to smaller cities and towns, the key markets for the Kwid, unlike the Duster that is a more urban offering.
It will be interesting to see if India improves its standing on the Renault map and gets into the top 10 list.
This will not be cakewalk given that Turkey, which is in the 10th place, is ahead by over eight thousand units in this quarter. South Korea trails India by 2,500 units and it remains to be seen how the remainder of the year pans out for all countries in this list. Renault had stated in its press release that registrations in Europe for the quarter increased by 2.8 per cent in a market up 0.6 per cent thanks to the success of the new Duster and Koleos models.
Outside Europe, the Group recorded sales up 22.1 per cent in Eurasia and 21.3 per cent in the Americas. It is facing a slowdown in the Middle East and Africa (down 5.3 per cent) as well as Asia-Pacific (down 18.6 per cent) where India is an important component.
The forecast
According to Renault, the global market is expected to grow by 2.5 per cent in 2018 compared to the preceding year. The European market is expected to increase by one per cent with a corresponding increase for France.
Internationally, Russia should experience an increase of nearly 10 per cent. Brazil and China are expected to grow by more than five per cent and its Indian market by six per cent.

De tiende etappe van de Ronde van Frankrijk 2011 werd verreden op 12 juli 2011 over een afstand van 158 kilometer tussen Aurillac en Carmaux.

Verloop
Een zestal renners (met de Fransen Rémy Di Grégorio, Sébastien Minard, Arthur Vichot, Julien El Fares en Anthony Delaplace en de Italiaan Marco Marcato) brachten al vroeg een ontsnapping op gang die tot 20 kilometer van de finish zou standhouden.
Weer deed zich een valpartij voor met onder meer een aantal bekende namen (Robert Gesink, Fabian Cancellara, Levi Leipheimer, Björn Leukemans en Juan Antonio Flecha), maar ze konden allen hun weg verderzetten.

Op 20 kilometer van de finish trok Omega Pharma-Lotto het peloton op gang, wat het einde van de vlucht inluidde.

Er waren nog enkele uitvallen van onder meer Tony Gallopin, Philippe Gilbert, Dries Devenyns, Tony Martin en Thomas Voeckler. Uiteindelijk kwam alles toch terug bijeen.

Mark Cavendish trok de spurt iets te vroeg aan, waarbij André Greipel zijn lang verwachte kans op een zege in een touretappe greep.

Frito-Lay plans three Super Bowl ads to highlight new products and football stars like the Manning brothers
Published Tue, Jan 12 20217:00 AM EST
Megan Graham@megancgraham
Frito-Lay said it's planning three Super Bowl ads next month.
The PepsiCo subsidiary will run ads for its '90s era Doritos "3D Crunch" and for its new "Cheetos Crunch Pop Mix."
The company will also run a portfolio spot running right before kickoff and starring NFL names like Peyton and Eli Manning, Troy Aikman and Deion Sanders.
Promo for Frito-Lay Super Bowl commercial.
Frito-Lay said it's planning three Super Bowl ads next month, including one highlighting NFL stars Peyton and Eli Manning, Troy Aikman and Deion Sanders.
The PepsiCo subsidiary said one spot will highlight Doritos 3D Crunch, the '90s-era snack the company recently said it was reviving. The third spot will promote its Cheetos Crunch Pop Mix, which was introduced Monday and mixes Cheetos with its Cheetos Popcorn.
The ad with the NFL players will be a portfolio spot running just before the Feb. 7th game's kickoff at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. It will be part of a broader marketing campaign from Frito-Lay launching ahead of the game, but the company declined to provide details or timing. The other two will run during the game.
While Super Bowl LV may look different than the 54 earlier championship games because of the pandemic, the company said it still expects the broadcast to be the most-watched event of the year, and a priority for the company's marketing plan. Frito-Lay said snack consumption has seen a major gain during the Covid pandemic.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in mid-December the organization hadn't yet decided on seating capacity for the game, saying they'd be working with public and health officials to make decisions closer to the game. In November, the league had been planning to limit capacity at the game to 20%, CNBC reported.
Frito-Lay joins brands like M&M's, Pringles, Toyota and TurboTax, which have already said they'll be advertising during the game. Frito-Lay sibling brand Pepsi is doubling down on its sponsorship of the halftime performance with a campaign starring The Weeknd, but it is not buying an ad slot on this year's game. The 30-second slots of ad time cost around $5 million to $6 million this year.
But this year's event on CBS will be one unlike any other for brands, which will have to strike the right tone in their messaging amid Covid.

It was a long long weekend. I made it to the Warped Tour, but didn't end up getting in until after three… so we missed a couple of bands like The Used and Thrice. There was also a downpour, so it turned everything into a nice big wet muddy mess. The sky cleared up later in the afternoon, but everything was till soaked. Some of the bands I got to see were: Poison the Well, Mad Caddies, Bigwig, Pennywise, Dropkick Murphy's and Rancid.
My runaway favourite for the show was Letter Kills; they played on a tiny stage hidden within the merch booths. The band put on a great live performance and the lead singer has an amazing stage presence, he was swinging off the bars of the tent and came into the crowd, singing into people faces, crawling along and diving onto the crowd, singing the entire time. He sold the band's cd after the show and personally thanked everyone for buying it and showing up. It was pretty wild. Their website is pretty cool looking too, props on design.
Alanah and I stuck around in downtown Toronto for a bit before catching a mid-afternoon train back to Kingston. I picked up a couple used albums (Pixies, Slaves on Dope, Harvey Danger) and t-shirts to go along with the samplers and stickers that I picked up from the booths (I didn't spend much time in the pits, it felt like I had elves inside me punching me stomach). We had some lunch and vowed not to drop any more cash with the devil piece of plastic.
There were massive quantities of water pouring out of the sky last night, so I opted not to venture into the outside world. Watched a few movies and some episodes of Invader Zim, a cartoon that's hit or miss. It has the whole alien invaders thing going on, so it's targeted at the geeks and dorks among us. The show isn't limited to that, when it's on, it's on. The best character is a really stupid but incredibly funny little robot called GIR. The first episode is a must, he has some choice lines and bits.

Colombia: FARC's Leadership Reaffirms Commitment to Peace, Thanks European Union for Support
Rodrigo "Timochenko" Londono (third from right) with Eamon Gilmore (second from right), the European Union's (EU) special envoy and others following talks. | Photo: @TimoFARC
Published 26 April 2018
The president of the FARC, Rodrigo Londoño, has met with the EU's special envoy for the Colombian peace process, Eamon Gilmore.
Rodrigo "Timochenko" Londoño , president of the Common Alternative Revolutionary Force (FARC), has thanked the European Union's (EU) special envoy for the Colombian peace process, Eamon Gilmore, for reaffirming the bloc's support for the accord, which was signed between the former guerrilla group and the government in 2016.
Colombia: 'Immediate Freedom for Jesus Santrich' FARC Demands
Gilmore, who arrived in Colombia Tuesday, is scheduled to visit Jesus Santrich, a leader in the now disarmed guerrilla group. Santrich has been accused of drug trafficking, and the United States has requested his extradition on the charges, which he firmly denies.
"In today's fruitful meeting with the representatives of the European Union, we analyze the political situation and the difficulties that the peace process has undergone, especially regarding the implementation of the agreements, and the EU reiterates its unwavering support," Londoño tweeted.
The meeting between Londoño and Gilmore also included the EU Ambassador to Colombia, Patricia Llombart.
Gilmore is scheduled to meet with government officials, civil society groups, the leadership of FARC's political party and others to discuss the ongoing peace process. The purpose of the visit is to reaffirm the EU's commitment to the full implementation of the peace agreement, including reincorporation of former guerrillas into civil society and rural development.
Londoño emphasized that Gilmore aims to improve the mechanisms and efforts to consolidate peace in Colombia and to facilitate an increase in the access to state funding for development projects.
Last June, the FARC handed in the last of its weapons to United Nations officials, effectively ending 53 years of war with the state, a move which analyst say has exposed its members to violence by other paramilitary operatives.
Since the demobilization process began, many former rebels have been arrested by authorities and assassinated by paramilitary forces, raising concerns that the violence inflicted on the Patriotic Union party during the 1980s and '90s could be repeated.
Juan Manuel Santos' government has denied the existence of paramilitary groups in the country, despite repeated warnings by the United Nations.

Catching Up With Gearbox's Randy Pitchford
by Christian Nutt [Business/Marketing, Design, Interview, PC, Console/PC, North America]
June 13, 2008 Page 10 of 10
Did you see Gore Verbinski's DICE keynote?
RP: I missed it, no. They had me in so many meetings at DICE that I missed some of the good ones.
One of the things that I really took away from it is when he said, in making the first Pirates of the Caribbean, they have the dailies shipped back to Disney, and the people at Disney who are looking at the dailies said, "Holy hell, what the hell is Johnny Depp doing? Is he gay? Is he drunk? What's wrong with his performance?"
And of course, the key to the movies is Johnny Depp's performance, actually. And Gore Verbinski's point is that you can make a big, slick production, but it has to have that nugget of something genuine and something different that ties it together. I see that with Brothers in Arms, in the sense that the squad tactics angle... it's a gameplay nugget rather than a performance nugget, but do you know what I'm saying?
RP: Yeah, thank you. I agree with you. I did not see Gore's speech, but I think there's a lot of wisdom in that idea. We can break down the word innovation. If everything is insanely innovative, we'll all reject it, because it will be so weird that we won't even understand it. If everything is exactly the same, we'll also reject it, because we'll have already had it before and we're bored with it.
The key is making decisions about what we're doing that's familiar and comfortable and twisting it and breaking it a bit so we can be surprised or refreshed by it, and excited again. We don't blindly leap off the building. We take careful steps toward things that are exciting that are on the horizon.
The more risk-averse you are, the more careful your steps are, but the more comfortable you are with risk, then you get things like the Wii, right? You get some things that are familiar, but there's also something totally new or an angle that you didn't expect or imagine.
The Real Story on the Consoles
I think the Wii probably couldn't have happened if Nintendo hadn't been on a downward trend.
RP: (laughs) Maybe. It's nice to believe that a company that... by the way, I don't agree that they were on a downward trend, but I do agree that they wanted to reach more customers than they were reaching.
Depending on how you look at it, Nintendo arguably won last generation in terms of return on investment, if you think about how much they spent, versus how much they made. Microsoft was in second place in installed units, but their balance sheet was largely...
They had one profitable quarter, I believe, with Xbox 1.
RP: They were like a billion and change in the hole with Xbox 1. Sony was profitable late in the PlayStation 2's existence.
They were very profitable, though, because they had such an install base and so much software, and they were selling the software so well. Nintendo, though, in terms of return on investment, might have been in the best spot.
I believe Nintendo only had one quarter of loss during the Gamecube. Then again, of course, the GBA was a big contributor during the Gamecube era.
RP: The GBA was great. The DS was great when they launched it. The Gamecube itself, they're making money on their games, they're making money on the hardware, they're making money in every single place. Meanwhile, everyone else is losing money.
Sony and Microsoft both initially lost money on hardware and had to spend the marketing on top just to get it installed. Then they had to make it up over time with software. Microsoft is still trying to make it up.
They're finally getting to the point where you can actually look and see, I think, some consistency.
RP: Yeah. They're having positive quarterly balance sheets now. We've seen a couple of those. By the way, I love the Xbox 360 platform. I'm a big fan of it. But -- taking a step higher.
Nintendo had some goals there, so they took a risk, and it's nice that they took a risk instead of doing the same thing. It's only by taking a risk that they were able to have a chance to succeed. If they had done the safe thing, they probably wouldn't have succeeded.

Soon after arriving for his honeymoon at the Tower, the mild-mannered headmaster of a small village school, Thomas Senlin, loses track of his wife, Marya, in the crowds. Senlin's search carries him through madhouses, ballrooms, and burlesque theaters. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress. But if he hopes to find his wife, he will have to do more than just survive.
Orbit has acquired World English language rights in four books from Ian Drury of Sheil Land Associates Ltd., and the first book, Senlin Ascends, will hit shelves in early 2018. Follow Josiah Bancroft on Twitter and Facebook.

I am really enjoying this app. It's fun, but makes you use the "old kernogin" as my mom used to say.

How do I use my coins??
I like this game because it is like a puzzle game. And puzzle games are fun in my opinion. And also you can get coins. And that is like getting real money. So that's why like this game and rated it five.
Because you'll see them constantly while trying to get through the easy levels to the challenging ones, which are way above 100. I don't do I couldn't take it part 50 before I deleted it. I know ads pay for the free games but they are way over the top in this one. Pass.
Good game, needs separate volume control or a way to mute the music.
It's the best game I've ever played give like if I'm right.
Although I wish the game was a little more challenging. There is very little ads so we actually get to enjoy the game!! AWESOME!
I found it really easy so there isn't any fun.The adds are ok it didn't bother me much but the music is so annoying.
Don't get me wrong, this game is fun at first, but then the levels just turn out to be the same and boring.
Full of ads, frequent interruptions. Completely ruined the fast-paced feel of the game. Didn't even try to purchase or remove them, found the whole environment stupid.
Great game. I don't feel guilty about playing it. I feel like I'm exercising my mind.
Game is good but way too many ads.
After 1-30 the patterns become the same, just with done at different angles. Once I hit 2-74, the puzzle reused level 1-2. I just uninstalled because its clear that its not getting better from here. Music is okay, same with design. Overall ok game, just needs more puzzles than repeating the same one over again.
Same thing over and over except sometimes you're forced to watch an ad.


Main results from MaltaToday's electoral survey for October.
MaltaToday's survey reveals that while the PL enjoys a 12-point electoral lead, when it comes to policies the PN is lagging by only 4 points when respondents are asked which party has the best policies.
The survey also reveals that nearly 15% of current Labour voters do not think that their party has the best policies.
Still, despite constant criticism on the absence of policies, a relative majority of 36% still think that the party in opposition has the best policies while only 32% think the PN has the best policies. This comes in the wake of the PL's first 'Congress' which focused on consulting party members on the party's 'road map' manifesto.
Utility bills also emerge as the top concern of the electorate. This suggests that Labour is in synch with the electorate by emphasising its pledge to cut utility bills even if it remains unclear how this reduction will take place - something which could explain the smaller gap between the two main parties when it comes to policies.
While the PN has failed to arrest losses to Labour, it has significantly reduced the percentage of its 2008 voters who now intend not to vote from 12% to 8%. In this way, the PN now manages to retain more of its 2008 voters than in the past months, up from 64% to 70%.
This suggests that the party's campaign has been successful to galvanise the core vote, but has so far failed to dent the party's losses to Labour.
On the other hand, the PL only loses a mere 1% of its 2008 voters to the PN and 1% to the Greens. Moreover, the PL also managed to retain more of its 2008 voters than in last month's survey, up from 87% to 92%.
This means that effectively there is 9-point shift from the Nationalist Party to the Labour Party. This shift has been consistent for the past year, in an indication that the PN's attempt to erode voters' trust in Labour - culminating in the 'Labour Does Not Work' billboard have so far failed to have any impact.
The survey confirms that the PL would still win the election albeit with a reduced seven-point margin if both parties recover all of their 2008 voters who now intend not voting or who remain undecided.
The survey shows that the PN is trailing Labour in all age groups but faces the greatest % changeiculties among 35 to 54 year olds.
While among this age group the PN trails Labour by 18 points, the gap falls to 12 points among 18 to 34 year olds and to eight points among those aged over 55 years of age.
But the 35 to 54 age group also includes the highest number of undecided respondents. While only nine per cent of 18 to 34 year olds are undecided, the percentage of undecided rises to 21% among over 55 year-olds and to a staggering 30% among 35 to 54 year olds. This suggests that the PN is weakest among the age bracket with the most undecided respondents.
Significantly, the 18 to 34 year old bracket also includes the highest percentage of non-voters (12%) and AD voters (3%).
The same pattern emerges when one assesses the trust in the two party leaders, with Gonzi trailing Muscat in all three age groups with the gap between the two leaders ranging from eight points among over 55-year-olds to 15 points among 35 to 54-year-olds.
Despite facing widespread criticism that it is evasive on alternative policies, Labour still emerges from the party deemed to have the best policies, albeit with a five-point margin.
But while support for the PN's policies is higher than the party's electoral strength, support for the PL's policies stands at a lower level than the party's current electoral strength.
In fact, while the PN trails Labour by 12% with regards to electoral strength, it only trails Labour by five per cent when it comes to policies.
While a substantial 14% of current Labour voters do not think their party has the best policies for the country, only six per cent of PN voters think that their party does not have the best policies.
This suggests that PN voters are more motivated by policies than Labour voters.
Still, by making a reduction in utility bills in its main electoral pledge, Labour is clearly in synch with the electorate. In fact, when asked to state their top policy concern, one in every four respondents mentioned utility bills, while only 13% mentioned job creation which is the PN's main electoral theme.
Surprisingly, immigration and corruption do not feature in the list of top electoral issues, while education only emerges as a top issue among Nationalist voters. Job creation emerges as the top concern of PN voters.
On the other hand, while low wages are a greater concern for PN voters, the cost of living is a greater concern among Labour voters.
The survey was held between Monday 24 and Thursday 27 September. 786 respondents were contacted by telephone after being chosen from telephone directories. 600 accepted to be interviewed. The results of the survey were weighed to reflect the age and gender balance of the population according to the 2010 demographic review issued by the National Office of Statistics. The survey has a margin of error of /-4%.

How to Step Your Latin American Flag Game Up: A Guide
Culture 09.15.15 at 7:54 pm
By Yara Simón
There was a time when those wanting to use a Mexican flag emoji had to get by with an Italian flag. While the people of Mexico can now ::Mexican flag emoji:: all they want, most of Latin America – as in anyone who isn't from Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Puerto Rico, and Colombia – can't rep their country with just regular Unicode emojis. Earlier this year, The Atlantic Monthly Group, Inc. teamed up with Emojipedia to give people that real shit. Apple had already added support for most of the world's flags, but their keyboard only has like 40 flags. If you are seriously missing the rest of the world's flags (including the Vulcan salute), download the Flag app here.
Since we're celebrating the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month and because Saturday Night Live didn't do a thorough enough job on Latin American flags (though, they did show us JLO wearing Dayglo and a halo made of Play-Doh), we've taken on all those lookalike flags that may have confused you in the past.
Here's how to keep them straight:
El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua declared independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. The countries were then part of the First Mexican Empire until the monarchy was overthrown in 1823. The five countries became part of the United Provinces of Central America in 1823, and they adopted one flag similar to Argentina's (Panama was part of the Republic of Colombia, and Belize was a British colony).
The United Provinces of Central America began to dissolve in 1838, and El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua ended up with flags similar to the one they had when they were one province.
How to remember which is which: They each represent the five nations in one way or another. Honduras does it with stars. Nicaragua, which is the most popular volcano boarding spot (more on that later), does it with volcanoes. And El Salvador has five flags and volcanoes; basically, the flags become more elaborate as the names get longer.
Cuba and Puerto Rico
There's a reason the Puerto Rican and Cuban flags look similar. PR, like Cuba, was fighting for independence from Spain. In an act of solidarity, PR decided their flag should be the exact opposite of Cuba's.
U.S. and Puerto Rico Flags
How to remember which is which: Though it was modeled after Cuba's, the Puerto Rican flag ends up mimicking the United States'. So if you know that the U.S. has red stripes, then you can distinguish between Cuba and PR.
Argentina and Uruguay
Argentina and Uruguay have a few similarities in their flags because they were both part of the United Provinces of South America, which lasted from 1810 to 1831. Argentina was a bit of a trendsetter because not only did it influence Central America, it also shaped Uruguay's flag. Both have the Sun of May, though they are in different places.
How to remember which is which: Think of Messi, the biggest star around which the universe of soccer revolves, and you'll remember that Argentina is the one with the Sun of May in the middle.
Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, parts of Peru, Brazil and Guayana belonged to Gran Colombia. Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia kept the blue, red, and yellow as a symbol of their shared history.
How to remember which is which: Colombia, the biggest of the three, has the simplest of flags. Ecuador, the smallest of the three, has the most complicated one.
Chile and Texas
In 2010, Texas' Atascosa County accidentally sent absentee voters packages with the Chilean flag on it, instead of the Texan flag, according to the Huffington Post. The two are very similar, except that the blue in the Texas flag goes from top to bottom. The Chile flag came first by about two decades.

How to remember which is which: Chile's soccer team is La Roja, and fittingly, their flag has more red than Texas'.

Subtract Music presents Henry Saiz
Sat, Aug 20, 2011 @ 10:00pm
Subtract Music brings you LA debut of the two hottest producers from Spain in the largest venue in Hollywood powered by Funktion-One sound.
Henry Saiz
(Bedrock / Natura Sonoris / Balance) Spain
Henry's first productions were released through the highly regarded Global Underground and Paradigma Musik imprints. These releases were instantly noticed by house giant John Digweed, which led to creating one of the biggest tracks of 2009, which was also named as Pete Tong's Essential New Tune. Released on Bedrock, Henry's remix of Guy J's "Lamur" was regarded by critics and DJ's alike as "the track of the year". Following the success of this remix, yet another giant label; Renaissance commissioned the release of "Artificial Paradises EP" and "Madre Noche EP" in 2009 and "The Rider EP" in 2010.
Marc Marzenit
(Paradigma Musik / Cocoon) Spain
When he was 11 he was already reliably studying music in several conservatories, and by the age of 14 he was walking around Sónar looking for electronic emotions. At the age of 22 he performed his first Live at Florida 135. When he reached 23 the young artist created his first label, Paradigma Musik, which nowadays has several international artists such as Paul Ritch, Henry Saiz, Ludovic Vendi or Gavin Herlihy. However, it is not until the age of 24 when his productions were demanded by the most selected circles of worlwide electronic music, receiving feedbacks from artists like Hernan Cattaneo, Dominik Eulberg, Umek, Sasha, James Zabiela, Eric Prydz and Sharam.
(Subtract Music)
Anton Tumas is the founder of Subtract Music. Subtract Music is a Los Angeles based record label and event promoter.

Alberta mounts sweeping attack on workers' rights
By Keith Jones
Alberta's Conservative government rammed two draconian anti-worker laws through the provincial legislature this past week, as part of its drive to cut public sector workers' wages and pensions and slash the services that they administer.
Bill 45, the Public Sector Services Continuation Act, drastically increases the penalties for public sector workers, unions, and union officials who participate in an "illegal" strike and makes it a crime for anyone to threaten an "illegal" strike or urge public sector workers to mount one.
Under Alberta law more than 100,000 Alberta provincial public sector workers, including civil servants, nurses, hospital and other health care workers, and college and university faculty are legally barred from striking.
Henceforth, workers will lose an additional day's pay for each day they are off work due to an "illegal" work stoppage. Unions will be automatically docked $250,000 for each day of strike, with a further $50 penalty for each bargaining-unit member—meaning that some unions could face fines of $1 million for each day of a strike.
Bill 45 also runs roughshod over the right to free speech by making it a crime punishable by a $500 fine to make a "strike threat" or encourage workers to engage in an illegal strike.
As union officials are already threatened under other labor code provisions, this measure appears specifically designed to intimidate and muzzle rank-and-file workers and others not part of the union apparatus.
Bill 45 also redefines the term "strike" so as to render work-to-rule campaigns or any other form of job-action short of a walkout illegal and subject to Bill 45's draconian anti-strike provisions.
Bill 46, the Public Salary Restraint Act, will impose a four-year concessionary contract on 22,000 members of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) unless their union accepts the government's contract demands by the end of next month. Under the government-dictated contract, the wages of the AUPE members will be frozen for the first two years and in the third and fourth years they will be increased by just 1 percent per year.
Underscoring its determination to ram through these bills, Premier Alison Redford's Conservative government used its legislative majority to impose "closure"—thereby allowing only a truncated, pro forma debate on Bills 45 and 46—even before the bills were tabled in the provincial parliament.
The message is clear, other unions set to negotiate new contracts —such as the Health Sciences Association of Alberta, which represents 22,000 public sector workers—will have to "voluntarily" agree to contracts imposing a cut in their members' real wages or the government will impose them by legislative fiat.
By strengthening the penalties for public sector workers' strikes, the government is also strengthening its hand to force through massive cuts in the pensions of all Alberta public and para-public employees, including teachers and municipal workers. In September, the government announced that early in the new year it will unilaterally impose cuts to the province's four public sector pension plans, scrapping negotiations with the unions in favor of a bogus "consultation process". The Conservatives' September announcement said that government's pension contributions are to be capped and pension rates frozen until 2021, annual cost-of-living allowances are to be reduced and paid only if the plans' finances permit, and beginning in 2015 no one who retires before age 65 shall be entitled to a full pension irrespective of their years of service.
The unions have responded to the Conservative's assault on their members' rights and living standards with a token display of opposition, including a series of protest rallies outside the provincial legislature.
The political thrust of their campaign has been aimed at convincing the government and big business that the unions play a "constructive role" in containing worker discontent.
They have emphasized the rarity of illegal public strikes and urged the Conservatives to keep the bills in abeyance pending the government's convening of a task force on labour relations in the province.
In the 2012 provincial election, the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) and many of its affiliates threw their support to the Conservatives, claiming that this was the only way to prevent the Wild Rose Party, a rightwing split-off from the Conservatives, from winning power.
The unions claimed the Conservatives constituted a "progressive" alternative to Wild Rose—no matter that this rightwing party, which has governed oil-rich Alberta since 1971, has made it the country's most socially-polarized province, with the lowest minimum wages and worst work standards outside of the impoverished Atlantic provinces. The rich, meanwhile, benefit from the country's only "lax" income-tax and the corporations from low taxes and law environmental regulation.
Now in response to Bills 45 and 46, the unions are vowing to "punish" the Conservatives at the polls in 2016. "The coalition that elected Alison Radford is dead," AFL President Gil McGowan told a news conference Thursday. Declaring that Radford is "definitely not a progressive," McGowan vowed, "We will not be fooled again."
With this bluster, the unions are planning to channel workers behind other big business politicians, in the first instance the Liberals and New Democrats. But the AFL has even welcomed the Wild Rose's House leader and Finance critic Rob Anderson onto its platforms after the party postured as an opponent of some of the provisions of Bill 45 and 46.
In addition to seeking to quell demands for working class action to defeat the Conservatives' attack on workers' rights by promoting illusions in Radford's electoral rivals, the unions are urging workers to put their faith in a court challenge to the constitutionality of Bills 45 and 46.
Over the past three decades, the courts have played a pivotal role in the assault on the working class, sanctioning a volley of laws—passed by parties of every political stripe from the Conservatives, to the Parti Quebecois and NDP—that have frozen or cut workers' wages and criminalized strikes.
In May 2011, Canada's Supreme Court ruled that the right to association in Canada's Charter of Rights does not entail any collective bargaining rights, let alone the right of workers to strike. It merely gives workers the right, said the Court, to have an organization through which to make their grievances known to their employers. Employers, are constitutionally obligated to hear the workers' complaints, but are not obliged to conduct negotiations with their representatives, let alone address their grievances.

Hannah Feldman, Associate Professor of Art History, Northwestern, focuses on abstract art in Algeria; and Alex Dika Seggerman, Assistant Professor of Islamic Art History, Rutgers University–Newark, on figurative art in Egypt. Moderated by Sarah-Neel Smith, Assistant Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism, Maryland Institute College of Art.
Original program date: June 4, 2020. Iftikhar Dadi, Associate Professor of History of Art, Cornell University, and Nada Shabout, Professor of Art History, University of North Texas, explore how the artists in Taking Shape "reterritorialized" the Arabic alphabet and made its aesthetic more accessible to the larger world, not only in detaching Arabic letterforms from Islamic calligraphy and religious history but also in liberating them from their semantic functions. In stripping Arabic letters of their former meanings, artists enabled them to signal modern (pan-)Arab identity and the decolonization of culture. Moderated by Pepe Karmel, Associate Professor of Art History, New York University.

"I Knew Buhari Can't Fix Any Of Nigeria's Problems" - Yakassai
Elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has explained that his reason for not supporting any of President Muhammadu Buhari's presidential ambitions was borne out of his long-held conviction that Buhari lacks the ability to fix Nigeria's problems. He added that the past five years of Buhari administration has proven him correct. Yakasai made this known while appearing at the video Conference organized by Governance index on Friday which was attended by close to 100 participants across the globe. He said President Buhari is yet to prove him wrong that he is competent to coordinate the affairs of the country. Yakasai said, "I have never supported Buhari. I have been against him because I felt he was not competent to handle the job, and I have been proven right. Yakasai said:"When President Muhammadu Buhari was elected , I was hoping that at least, we will get stable power all over the country. This is his fifth year. He has only two more active years because the last one year will be for election. "I don't know what are his plans, when will Kano get electricity to restore its industrial might, so that every man in Kano will be gainfully employed as a result of provision in Kano, likewise Enugu and Lagos among others. Those were the key issues from the time Buhari was elected and they are still the issues of today."

The 31st annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened with David Byrne, Kimbra and the Roots paying a heartfelt and arty tribute to David Bowie by performing "Fame." The ensemble kicked into the funky groove as the legendary white-haired Talking Head, dressed in a suit with sparkly lapels, started things off. Then Kimbra, dressed in a sparkly dress, took over, shouting lyrics, before they coalesced into harmony and Questlove coolly rocked his Afro to the beat. It ended with a projected photo of the Thin White Duke, in a broad-brimmed hat mugging at the audience, before they departed the stage for the ceremony's opening montage.
Last month, the Roots' Questlove, Bilal and Kimbra pulled out of tribute concerts taking place at at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall in New York. "We have patience. But we do NOT have patience for the #Bitchassness," Questlove wrote on Instagram, alluding to the incident. "Enjoy your precious equipment." So this performance seemed like a proper way to make up for that earlier, last-minute cancellation.

Catastrophizing is our brains' tendencies to imagine tragedies, accidents or disasters looming in the future. Newspapers and media are experts at using the catastrophizing tendency to attract readers. Although catastrophizing can help us take appropriate precautions, too much makes us anxious and overly risk averse.
All-or-nothing bias is about polarised, black or white thinking. 'No-one said it was good, so it must have been horrible', 'everything, but perfect, is a failure'. The bias can lead to self-doubt and approval seeking behaviours as it makes us dependent on positive feedback to feel ok about ourselves.
Fortune-telling is our brains' making assumptions about the future. When our fortune-telling is motivated by fear of rejection or embarrassment such as, "No point going, I won't enjoy it anyway" or "I am not smart enough to apply", these biases prevent us from achieving our goals and becomes self-fulfilling prophesies.
Mind-reading biases are tendencies to draw conclusions about what others think of us based on their behaviours and the misconception that others can read you like an open book. 'He yawned, he definitely thinks I am boring ', 'this is so embarrassing, everyone can see I am nervous'.
Emotional reasoning is about drawing conclusions in situations, and about people, without recognising how our own feelings affect our reasoning. If we feel nervous or anxious when entering a room full of people, our feelings will prompt us to look for negative signals and danger signs.
