November 12, 2019 November 12, 2019 aftercoalfilm
After Coal author and director Tom Hansell participated in the 2019 Appalachian / Carpathian: Mountains Apart, People Connected conference last month. Conference participants were fortunate to tour the former Petrilla mine and learn how local people, led by former mine engineer Ion Barbu, developed a guerrilla arts campaign to save the mine structures from demolition. They see the former mine as an asset to support the community's transitions to life after coal. Hansell shot super 8 film on the mine tour. Here is a link to this short travelogue PetrillaOctober2019 from Tom Hansell on Vimeo.
Romania's Petrilla mine shows how art can be a catalyst in former mining communities
October 15, 2019 October 15, 2019 aftercoalfilm
After Coal author and director Tom Hansell recently traveled to Romania to participate in the Appalachians / Carpathians: Mountains Apart, People Connected conference. Participants explored the theme of post-industrial development in mountain communities. Here is his report: Photographer Gabriel Amza , who has documented the decline of coal in Romania's Jiu Valley and I collaborated on a presentation that explored the role of arts in former coal mining communities. After our presentation, we visited the Petrilla mine, which employed approximately 20,000 workers at its peak, before closing in 2015. Some miners were transferred to other mines, but many lost their jobs. Local officials believed the best path forward was to bulldoze the mine site and leave a clean, green field. However a strong local movement emerged to save the mine site. Former mine engineer and artist Ion Barbu (pictured below) helped lead an art based campaign to preserve the mine. […]

Music Monday: I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill
April 8, 2019 aftercoalfilm
This Music Monday we honor singer and actor Paul Robeson's 121st birthday. Robeson was born April 9, 1898 and became a friend and supporter of south Wales miners after he met a delegation of miners on a hunger march in 1929. The singer regularly performed for benefit concerts for the miners' union and was invited to perform in Wales with the Treorchy mens choir at the Eistedfodd in 1957, but the US government had revoked his passport because he refused to disavow communism socialism mend that the government had revoked his passport. In this clip from a 1949 National Coal Board film, Robeson sings the labor ballad I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill to the Scottish miners Paul Robeson: I dreamed I saw Joe Hill
Film Clip Friday: The Proud Valley (1940)
This week's Film Clip Friday post highlights The Proud Valley, a feature film set in the coalfields of south Wales starring American actor and singer Paul Robeson. This is one of many ways that Robeson expressed solidarity with mining communities. The story is that Robeson met a delegation of Welsh miners on a hunger march in 1929 and was attracted by their group singing. As a result he helped raise funds and other support for Welsh mining communities. Paul Robeson was invited to perform with the Treorchy men's choir at the national Eistedfodd (a festival of Welsh culture) in 1957, but the US government had revoked his passport because he refused to disavow communism. Here is a trailer for The Proud Valley, directed by Penrose Tennyson:
Music Monday: Dream of a Miner's Child
This Music Monday we listen to Appalachian musician Rich Kirby performing "Dream of a Miner's Child." For an audience of Welsh coal miners. Kirby visited Wales as part of an exchange between Appalachian and Welsh Mining Communities in 1976. During his visit, he performed this song for a continuing education class offered by the National Union of Mineworkers, connecting this Appalachian mining song's origins to the British Isles. The footage in this clip was recorded by Helen Lewis, John Gaventa, and Richard Greatrex with support from Hywel Francis. Dream Of A Miners Child from Tom Hansell on Vimeo.
Film Clip Friday: The Silent Village (1943)
March 29, 2019 March 29, 2019 aftercoalfilm
This Film Clip Friday we feature Silent Village, director Humphry Jennings 1943 docu-drama about the Nazi massacre of the residence of Lidice, a coal mining village in Czecholslovakia. Funded by the British Crown Film Unit, Jennings chose to reenact the story in South Wales during World War Two. Much of the filming took place in the communities featured in After Coal, including the villages of Cwmgiedd and Ystradgynlais. Silent Village is considered a classic example of the social realist approach that was common in British wartime films. The original film has been preserved in the archives of the British Film Institute. Silent Village, director Humphry Jennings (1943)
Music Monday: Big Bad John
March 25, 2019 aftercoalfilm
This Music Monday we feature a 1961 hit from Jimmy Dean, a Texas born singer radio host, and actor. Although he had no direct connection to coal mining, Dean played a role in promoting the image of the miner who would sacrifice his life to save his comrades. Big Bad John was a crossover hit from country to rock and roll and scored number one on the billboard charts in the US (and number 2 on the UK singles charts). As an interesting side note, Jimmy Dean later became famous as the spokesman for the sausage family he founded with his brother in 1969. These commercials were resurrected after he died in 2010.

Reisman: Davis the latest pol to fall
The Mount Vernon mayor who claimed he was persecuted by the feds, now admits to tax dodge
Reisman: Davis the latest pol to fall The Mount Vernon mayor who claimed he was persecuted by the feds, now admits to tax dodge Check out this story on lohud.com: http://lohud.us/1w7qgsD

Federal prosecutors are like Jack Russell terriers. Once they get hold of your ankle, they don't let go.
Mount Vernon Mayor Ernie Davis has been under investigation forever, or so it sometimes appears.
"I think everybody seems to be after me," he told an interviewer last year.
However, it was never entirely clear what the investigators were after — whether it had to do with a shady, but modest, emergency relief fund Davis set up or if it concerned his myriad real estate holdings in New York, Florida and North Carolina.
"This is over and above," he told Bill O'Shaughnessy in a WVOX radio interview in 2013. "I mean, you would think I killed somebody the way they've gone through my properties."
Editorial: After tax plea, Mount Vernon's Davis should step down
Davis felt persecuted and hounded. He choked back tears and said that he was a victim of racism.
Asked if he was an honest man, he replied, "Oh … absolutely."
Mount Vernon Mayor Ernie Davis is pictured in this file photo speaking at Mount Vernon High School's graduation ceremony at the Westchester County Center in White Plains in June 2014. (Photo: John Meore/For The Journal News )
"Nobody can tell you I ever stole anything from them," he said. "Nobody can tell you they paid me for all of this. But the other thing that is paramount … I am a black man. And I am popular in New York state among mayors. People who are in those positions like to bring down politicians because that elevates them."
Davis was roundly criticized for throwing down the race card — especially since he was just one on a long list of popular Westchester and Putnam county politicians who got caught in the cross hairs of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
A few years ago, at a press conference in Yonkers, Bharara pledged he was going to clean up the suburbs and it turns out he meant it. Jail sentences were meted out to Vinnie Leibell and Nick Spano, both of whom had once been powerful Republican state senators. Sandy Annabi, a Yonkers city councilwoman, is still doing time in federal prison for taking bribes in the Ridge Hill development scandal, as is Zehy Jereis, a former chairman of the Yonkers city GOP and a past flunky for the aforementioned Spano.
Last month, the U.S. Attorney's Office indicted Sam Zherka, a Manhattan strip club owner and publisher of a Westchester County weekly newspaper, on charges he falsified loan applications with three banks. Zherka, a self-styled maverick who loved to taunt politicians (including Davis), was a player in the county's Independence Party.
The accumulation of alleged and convicted rogues from the malls, sylvan lawns and cul-de-sacs of suburbia has earned Bharara a sobriquet: the Sheriff of Main Street.
And now, the latest entry on the court docket is Ernie Davis, who, at the moment, must feel every year of his age, which is 76. He claimed to be an honest man, but on Tuesday he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges that he failed to file corporate and personal income taxes.
One of the charges concerns a building at 14-16 Sanford Blvd. in Mount Vernon that he sold in 2003, but didn't report to the Internal Revenue Service. The other charge stems from his having not filed a federal income tax return in 2011.
These are far from capital offenses. And it's not as if Davis was directly stealing from the taxpayers of Mount Vernon. But everybody has to grit their teeth and pay their bills to Uncle Sam — and Davis screwed that up.
As Councilman Rich Thomas said Tuesday, "It is a very troubling breach of public trust and the people of Mount Vernon deserve better."
Davis is a proud man of great endurance who has made a number of personal and political comebacks in his life. He grew up in the segregated South, so he is eminently qualified to talk about the scourge of racism.
He once made an unforgettable observation on the subject.
"Human life started in Africa," he told me. "Everybody is African. You might be light-skinned now, but a long time ago, you were not white-skinned, brother."
That was classic Ernie Davis.
But in the radio interview from a year ago, he called out the feds, one of them by name — Perry Carbone. He was only a target, he repeatedly claimed, because he was African-American — as if racism played a role in his own failure to file a 1040 form.
"I consider them evil people," Davis said.
That line alone probably tightened their grip on the besieged mayor. It couldn't have helped.

This is a one of a kind light system that you will only find on this site because this light is built by hand by Edible Walls specifically for mounting above vertical gardens.
Installed above a vertical garden, the shade extends 12 inches out from the wall and directs light down to the plants at a 10 degree angle. This angle assures the light shines on the plants and not out, above or below. This means you will not have light shining in your eyes as you view your garden.
The Vertical Garden Grow Light System includes a T5 Fluorescent Grow Light strip (including the electronic ballast and light bulb). T5 systems use improved high output bulbs to improve efficiency and efficacy. These lights are designed to support bigger growth by providing light in the exact spectrum required by plants for energy production. Their best use is for growing strong, healthy plants in the vegetative stage; however, they will also support blooming stages in some plants.

The San Francisco 49ers pledged $500,000 Thursday to secure a firearm suppressor ban and other gun controls.
ATF director B. Todd Jones is stepping down amid the backlash surrounding the agency's proposed AR-15 bullet ban.
On March 12, House Democrats drafted a letter to the ATF that urges them to revive and implement the ban on the M855 round for AR-15s.
Still reeling from the ATF HQ's announcement that the AR-15 ammo ban is off the table for now, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times simply came unglued on March 12–describing the NRA as a "ridiculous" group that "aligned itself with violent criminals" to defeat the ban.
On Wednesday, the day after the ATF scrapped its proposed AR-15 ammo ban, the Huffington Post (HuffPo) ran an article claiming one of the reasons the gun control lobby suffers "embarrassing loss" after "embarrassing loss" is because they spend their energies passing sloppy laws and then trying to enforce those laws in an offensive manner.
On March 4, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) executive director James Pasco said Obama's proposed ban on M855 ammo is not necessary.
While the ATF's proposed ban of M855 ammunition would hurt gun owners everywhere by taking away one of the most popular AR-15 rounds in the country, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reports it would be "detrimental… especially" for Californians, where Governor Jerry Brown (D) has already signed a bill banning most traditional hunting ammo.

Truth and Cesaro
WWE Superstar R-Truth recently sat down with Yahoo! Sports and discussed a variety of wrestling topics.
Truth revealed his initial reaction to the WWE 24/7 Championship, stating that he had his eyes on the belt since day one, when it was introduced on TV.
In case you didn't know...
After Money In The Bank was done and dusted with, WWE introduced a new title into the mix, calling it the WWE 24/7 championship.
The belt was unveiled by WWE Hall of Famer, Mick Foley, to a lukewarm reaction from the live crowd. Fans took to social media in droves and slammed the bland design of the green belt.
Soon after, the fan perception changed drastically, as Truth and a bunch of other Superstars turned it into the most entertaining act on WWE TV.
Truth and Carmella's misadventures with the title became a hit on WWE's Youtube channel and other social media handles.
Truth's popularity skyrocketed to the extent that he won a WWE.com poll that asked fans their favorite current champion in WWE, beating the likes of Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and Kofi Kingston.

The heart of the matter
Ever since the title came into being, R-Truth has won the same and lost it on several instances. He even went on to crash his arch-rival Drake Maverick's wedding, to pin him for the Championship. Truth's escapades are bagging millions of views on WWE's Youtube channel on a weekly basis.
While speaking about his initial reaction to the belt, Truth revealed that he had his sights on it since the very first time it was introduced.
From day one when they introduced it to us I had my eyes set on it and wanting to take the title to the level that it is at now and beyond. The title is getting to be known very well, I'm glad I get to be a part of it.
R-Truth is currently chasing the championship, after Drake Maverick tricked him recently to win the title and run off to his honeymoon.

An aerial view of Wadi Al-Salaam one of the oldest cemeteries in history and reportedly the largest in the world.
Estimated at being over 1400 years old, Wadi Al-Salaam, meaning the Valley of Peace, is not only one of the oldest cemeteries in history, it is also reportedly the largest in the world.
This Islamic cemetery is located in the holy city of Najaf, Iraq. Situated about 100 miles south of Baghdad, this city is regarded as the third holiest city in Shi'a Islam. The cemetery is the final resting place for kings, prophets, princes and sultans, making it the most desirable place for many Shi'as in Iraq. There are an estimated half a million people buried every year within the 6 km2 area.
The grave markers themselves share many similar traits. Beige in color, the markers are constructed with baked bricks and plaster. These rectangular markers vary in size, with some towering at over ten feet tall. These grave markers, built in the 1930s and 1940s, were designed that way in order to be spotted easily amongst the millions of other markers.
In recent history, the cemetery was the site of many military clashes during the Iraq war of 2003. Soldiers would hide behind the markers, making detection nearly impossible.
Pictures of the area show a sea of detailed taupe markers stretching far into the distance, criss-crossed with a few roads wide enough for a vehicle to pass through, with smaller walking paths creating an uneven grid across the area. Detailed pictures of the markers show splashes of green, shapes made with different shades of brick and text, listing the name of the person or family buried there.
The Wadi Al-Salaam cemetery contains millions of tombs including underground vaults and a labyrinth of paths throughout its area.
In the center point of the cemetery is the tomb of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, one of the most important figures within the history of Islam. He was the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad and the first male convert to Islam.

Drúadan Forest, also known as the Tawar-in-Drúedain,[1] was a pine forest of Gondor, located in Anorien, which was north of Minas Tirith. The forest was inhabited by a strange folk of men known as the Drúedain, the Wild Men of the Woods.
According to the The Atlas of Middle-earth, the forest was over forty miles in total length.[2] The highest point in the forest was Eilenach, which was the sixth Warning beacon and could be seen from the west.[1]
The forest had been occupied by the Drúadain since sometime between or sometime after the Second Age years: SA 883 and SA 1075.[3] It was known for being avoided by outsiders.[1] The forest is remembered most for when the Riders of Rohan where guided through the forest on their way to the relief of Minas Tirith, by their leader Ghân-buri-Ghân. There was a road there, created long ago by the "Stonehouse-folk" (Men of Gondor), that everyone except the Wild Men had forgotten. It would have taken the Drúedain from sunrise to noon to walk it, but it required around ten hours for all of Rohan's army to get through. Each company of soldiers was guided by a Wild Man, who also sent out scouts to keep their movements secret. Movement through the forest keep the army from being spotted by the enemy.[4]
In the Fourth Age, King Aragorn II Elessar declared that the men of the forest would have the land to themselves because of their help during the war.[5]

Beer and the Beaches are meant for each other. Both are easy-going and unpretentious, providing fun and variety any time of year. Try these locals bars or pubs and you'll see what we mean.
This local hangout captures the Beaches vibe better than most. There's frequent live music, a gay-friendly environment, a 100 per cent vegetarian menu and a steadfast commitment to the best in local craft brews. At any given time they're pouring fresh cask ale and select draughts from Ontario, Quebec and overseas. Their updates on social media will keep you posted as to what's on tap.
Having a Firkin good time is all but a done deal, whether you hang out on their patio or take a booth inside. It's got a stereotypical decor modeled on the idea of what North Americans think British pubs should look like, and the effect mostly succeeds. There's a late night menu for odd-hour cravings, but you'll want to arrive earlier to enjoy their happy hours from 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays.
Down to your last handful of loonies and toonies? Come here and quench your thirst with one of the cheap pint or bottle specials, available every day except Friday. The huge, widescreen TV is a magnet for sports fans so this should definitely be your favourite haunt during the World Cup, NHL playoffs, World Juniors or Sunday football. Food prices are reasonable so you can have your snack and a drink to go with it.
If visiting a truly authentic British pub is on your list of things to do but a flight to England is out of reach, this place offers a reasonable facsimile. The Feathers, on Kingston Road, is all glossy wood and fine beers. Along with the extensive list of domestic and imported draughts, they have one of the best selections of Scottish single malt whiskey anywhere. Pull up a seat and sip away.
It's a dive bar in a neighbourhood not known for the rough-and-tumble. But the gritty vibe strips away all pretentions so you can really focus on how easily that beer is sliding down. It has tight quarters, frequented by regulars and definitely adults-only, so be forewarned ̶ this isn't a place to park the stroller. Since you won't find families with kids, feel free to drink and swear like a sailor on shore leave.
Located right on Queen Street, this is a prime location for the annual Beaches Jazz Festival when the place really swings. They keep the groove going for the other 51 weeks with live music every Saturday from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Unfortunately, that doesn't quite dovetail with "Beach Hour" (Sunday to Friday from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.) when drinks are $5. Beer, spirits and cocktails are complemented by a vast food menu.
Every day is a party day for The Bon Vivant. Creative cocktails, savoury dishes and trendy hotspots are always on the menu.
Never mind pearls, Victorians know the real treasure to be found in oyster shells is the fresh, briny taste of the ocean. Whether you chew or swallow them whole, enjoy garnished or baked, once you get a taste for fresh BC oysters, you'll be hooked. The next time the craving hits, here's where to go for your shellfish fix.
Caesars are a staple in Canadian cuisine; they're right up there with poutine, Nanaimo bars, maple syrup and Kraft Dinner. The unlikely combination of vodka, Clamato and Worcestershire sauce with some celery, asparagus or even bacon thrown in for the grand finale, doesn't sound like it should work. But it does. Here's where to go in Victoria to enjoy some of the best Caesars in town.
Charcuterie, a French method of cold meat preparation, has taken off in Victoria and the results are delicious. The intense flavour created by the curing of pork and other cuts of meat, pairs wonderfully with artisanal cheeses, pickles and condiments for an elegant and social snacking experience. If you're looking to get in on the culinary fun, head to one of these charcuterie hotspots.


Bulgur Lentil Ragu with Parsnip-Rutabaga Mash | Naturally.
I will start out saying I'm a bit hesitant to call this ragu given there's no meat and it's not served on pasta. And yet, here I am, calling it lentil ragu primarily because it's the closest thing to describe this bulky sauce. Traditional ragu is made using stewed meats but do a quick search and you will see that most people use lentils for a solid vegetarian substitute. I took this and went one step more by adding bulgur.
My favorite vegetarian chili uses bulgur. It's a perfect way to bulk up a meal with a meat-like replacement. Is it the same as a traditional ragu? Not even close. And yet, it's delicious in it's own way. The red lentils breakdown to form a thick sauce base and the bulgur is really the star. Don't plan on using other lentils- the split red lentils work best.
A hearty vegetarian main featuring tomato-based bulgur/lentil sauce smothering a mash of parsnips and rutabagas.
Heat a large tall-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the minced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until all are tender, 10 minutes or so. Add the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan as needed. Stir in the red lentils followed by the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the lentils are tender, 22 to 25 minutes.
While the lentils are cooking, bring a large pot of salty water to a boil. Peel the rutabaga and parsnips, cut into 1" cubes, and add to the water. Cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, return the vegetables to the pot, mash the vegetables, and add the butter, half/half, and more salt if needed.
Once the lentils are cooked, measure in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, rosemary, parsley, and bulgur. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavors mingle. When done, stir in the miso. Taste and adjust the seasonings or add a splash or two of water if needed.
Divide the parsnip mash into four bowls and top with the lentil ragu. Sprinkle with parsley before serving if desired.
Tips & Tricks: The bulgur and the sauce can be made ahead of time then reheated together before serving.
One of the reasons I love this recipe is because it's easy to swap a few ingredients to make it vegan and/or gluten-free. You can always switch up the base if you're unsure of the parsnip/rutabagas.
Vegetables: Use mashed sweet potatoes, butternut squash, potatoes, or turnips for the base. Mix and match as you see fit.
Vegan: Drop the butter/dairy from the parsnip mash and use your favorite vegan dairy products or add a splash of almond milk.
Gluten-free: Swap out the bulgur for steel cut oats. It's not quite the same consistency but the texture is similar enough.
Love these easy weeknight meals. Tomato based sauces on some kind of root vegetable mash win over pasta for me any day.
Great recipe – very tasty and filling! After the lentils had cooked there was still a lot of liquid left in the pot and decided to used about 2cups of homemade canned tomato sauce and cooked the bulgur (only added 1 cup) directly in the liquid to absorb those fantastic flavours – and it turned out awesome!!!

Q: Close JQuery plug in by clicking away I'm using a plug in called tooltipster, to activate it's simply:
$('#tooltip').tooltipster();

I want to close it by clicking away, anywhere else on the page, so am trying:
$(document).one("click", "body", function(){
    $('#tooltip').tooltipster('hide');
});

But all this seems to do is cause me having to click twice to actually fire the tooltip and it doesn't hide when clicking away.
Is there a better way to do this?

A: There's a typo. $(document).one should be $(document).on
$('body').click(function(){
    $('body').tooltipster('hide');
});

$('#tooltip').click(function(e)
{
   e.stopPropagation();
});

The hide code was taken from the tooltipster docs at http://calebjacob.com/tooltipster/#demos

A: $(body).click(function(e)
{
   $('#tooltip').slideUp('fast');
});
$('#tooltip').click(function(e)
{
   e.stopPropagation();
});

American Sign Language courses grow, develop
Caroline Gallo, News Reporter|October 10, 2017
Photo by Jordan David
Dana Callan-Farley teaching his American Sign Language class.
In the basement of Cramer Hall, the professor starts waving his hand in a left to right motion. The students immediately give him their attention and become silent. Class has begun.
Dana Callan-Farley has been teaching American Sign Language for over 30 years, so when he came to Marquette three years ago, he started teaching a class under the speech pathology department. Currently there are two courses in ASL offered to Marquette students.
Callan-Farley is making an effort to grow the presence of ASL and the deaf community on campus.
"Right now, I am working with the provost's office as a proposal to develop initiatives regarding making Marquette a more inclusive environment for deaf students and the deaf community," Callan-Farley said.
Nothing has been set in stone with an ASL program coming to campus, but Callan-Farley said their goal is to offer ASL to any student and include it as a foreign language credit.
Gwen Berglind, a junior in the College of Health Sciences, took the first ASL course offered last semester with Callan-Farley.
"Just to be aware of the deaf culture is so important for everyone. There is such a respect for it," Berglind said.
Rachel Garcia, a junior in the College of Health Sciences, said she has continued to use what she learned by completing both of the offered courses.
"I use it on a day-to-day basis, like if I'm eating or lost my voice, I'll use sign language," Garcia said. "One time I went to the Apple store and there was a deaf employee, so I was able to use the sign language I learned to communicate."
The ASL courses have yet to include service with the Milwaukee deaf community, but Callan-Farley said he sees that in the future.
"To serve a community you have to know the community. Marquette, at this moment, doesn't know the community," he said. "I think we could be at the forefront of Jesuit education in building those relationships with the deaf community."

Home CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY Bahamas Government Issues Warning to Illegal Migrants
Bahamas Government Issues Warning to Illegal Migrants
NASSAU, Bahamas – The Bahamas government has given illegal migrants until year end to regularise their stay in the country or face deportation.
Wrapping up debate on the Speech from the Throne, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said his administration will continue to fulfil the mandate of addressing and stamping out corruption and that the government would be paying closer attention to immigration issues in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country.
"Those migrants who are here illegally must leave by December 31, 2017 after which they will be aggressively pursued and deported," Minnis told legislators.
He said this warning applied to all nationalities and warned Bahamians and residents who continue to employ those illegal migrants that his administration would not turn a blind eye to their actions.
He said he was also giving them until year end "to regularise these individuals or stop employing them.
"I don't think that some people understand when you are legally entitled to citizenship but you do not have the proper documents and as was pointed out you cannot open a bank account, you cannot travel, you have difficulty entering the University of the Bahamas…you are placed in no man's land," he told legislators, adding "until you live it you don't understand".
In his response, Minnis said that his administration would be putting much emphasis on dealing with the crime situation here and would also not be following the past policies of the Perry Christie administration as they relate to developing the local economy.
"We have created an Economic Council of the Bahamas which is providing advice on job creation and growth which are critical to economic recovery. An ease of doing business committee has been appointed. Its mandate is to make specific recommendations to make it easier to do business in the country for Bahamians and foreign investors," Minnis said. – CMC

Dr. Mate Hidvegi sets the record straight on AvéULTRA versus Avé
Dr. Mate Hidvegi http://matehidvegi.com/life, inventor of Avemar fermented wheat germ extract, provided the following information to Rejuvenation Science. At Rejuvenation Science, we keep in close contact with both the U.S. manufacturer of AveULTRA and with Dr. Hidvegi. Dr. Hidvegi stated from his office in Budapest, Hungary:
"The Biropharma claim that research on Avemar does not apply to AveULTRA is misleading. Avemar has always been manufactured according to methods which I developed and patented. The new AveULTRA utilizes processes covered by my most recent pending patent. State of the art technology more precisely controls process times and temperatures creating a better quality fermented wheat germ extract. Independent analysis shows that Avemar made by Biropharma (in Hungary) and sold under the brand name Ave™ and Avemar made by American BioSciences and sold under the brand name AveULTRA, are virtually identical, confirmed by the technique of HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography) finger printing. Furthermore, independent comparison by biological assays in both cell lines and animal models shows the AveULTRA product has superior effects," he said. According to Dr. Hidvegi, these data are being prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Dr. Mate Hidvegi – inventor and majority shareholder in patents covering the Fermented Wheat Germ Extract – approved American BioSciences Inc. to be authorized manufacturer of the ultra-fine, freeze-dried Avemar, while all manufacturing rights of previous companies were withdrawn.
AveULTRA, newly introduced in the United States, contains the same amount of Avemar fermented wheat germ actives per daily use packet as Ave™ and is three times more concentrated, with 99 percent less non-active ingredients and no sugar. AveULTRA supports cell metabolic regulation, promotes immune system modulation, and maintains healthy cellular and humoral (Th1/Th2) immune balance. It promotes optimal NK cell targeting ability and the coordinated response of macrophages, B-cells and T-Cells.
All patents that cover Fermented Wheat Germ Extract belong to Dr. Mate Hidvégi both as inventor and owner. Dr. Mate Hidvégi has a full-decision majority (55%) in patents of the first generation of the Fermented Wheat Germ Extract, while he owns an absolute majority in the new generation of products, AvéULTRA. Rejuvenation Science is an official and approved distributor of Dr. Mate Hidvégi's patented products. The word "Avemar®" is a registered trademark of Birochem Kft.
Dr. Hidvegi's Plans for the Future
From Dr. Hidvegi's website: Since it's first introduction in 1998 in Europe, the quality of the Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (Avemar) was improved during the years – from cherry flavor to orange, from artificial sweetener to fructose, from plastic containers to easy-to-use sachets.
In 2009 AvéULTRA was introduced. It is the most advanced and best quality Avemar ever. This is the fifth product version of the Fermented Wheat Germ Extract that is now manufactured in the United States of America under the supervision and approval of it's inventor, Dr. Mate Hidvegi.
Improvements include utilizing low temperature freeze-drying which eliminates the need to use maltodextrin as a carrier and silicon dioxide as an antiadhesive during high temperature drying and, replacing fructose sweetener with natural, zero calorie stevia Reb-A. As a result, the all-new Avemar contains 99% less stabilizing and flavoring additives, while maintaining the same quantity of Avemar fermented wheat germ actives as used in clinical trials.
Due to the outstanding quality of the new freeze-dried Avemar, older versions of the product will be replaced with the latest version worldwide. We would like to inform all customers of Avemar or Avé that from the 1st of September 2009, the previous version of Avemar (also known as Avé) is no longer available in the United States. By the end of 2010 the Hungarian-made product of the Fermented Wheat Germ Extract will gradually phase out from all international markets and will be replaced exclusively with the new freeze dried, ultra-fine version.
Alternative Avemar and AveULTRA spelling: Ovemar, Avemor, Avomar, Avamar, Avamer, Ave-Mar, Avimar, Avi-ultra, ultra

Q: Dual problem with integrals I am reading a paper where the author derives the following Lagrangian dual problem :
$\min_v \int_R \frac{1}{4} \frac{\beta^2}{v-2\|x\|}dx+v\;\;\;\text{s.t.}\;\;\;v\geq 2\|x\|\;\;\;\forall x \in R$
from the primal problem :
$\max_{f(.)} \int_R (2\|x\| f(x) + \beta \sqrt{f(x)})dx\;\;\;
\text{s.t.}\;\;\;\int_R f(x) dx= 1 \;\;\;\text{and}\;\;\;f(x) \geq 0\;\;\;\forall x \in R$
where $f(.)$ belongs to the Banach space $L^2$ over a compact set $R$ (a distribution function).
Do you know how to construct a dual problem in case the objective and constraints of the primal include integrals. It was said that standard techniques of vector space optimization could be used to approach the function $f(.)$, but this is maybe not obvious. I could not pinpoint the starting point.

A: $\newcommand\R{\mathbb R}$
A convenient way to derive the dual problem from a primal one is by using the minimax duality for the Lagrangian, which is given here by the formula  $$L(f,v):=\int_R\big[2|x|f(x)+b\sqrt{f(x)}\big]\,dx-v\Big(\int_Rf(x)\,dx-1\Big),$$
where $|x|:=\|x\|$ and $b:=\beta$. Clearly,
$$\sup_{f\ge0}\inf_{v\in\R} L(f,v)
=\sup\Big\{\int_R\big[2|x|f(x)+b\sqrt{f(x)}\big]\,dx\colon f\ge0,\int_R f(x)\,dx=1\Big\},$$
which is value of the primal problem.
The value of the dual problem is
$$\inf_{v\in\R}\sup_{f\ge0} L(f,v)
=\inf_{v\in\R}\Big(v+\sup\Big\{\int_R\big[2|x|f(x)+b\sqrt{f(x)}-vf(x)\big]\,dx\colon f\ge0\Big\}\Big)
=\inf_{v\in\R}\Big(v+\int_R s(|x|,v)\,dx\Big),
$$
where
$$s(a,v):=\sup\{2at+b\sqrt t-vt\colon t\ge0\}.$$
For any real $a>0$, it is easy to see that
$$s(a,v)=\frac{b^2}{4 (v-2 a)}$$
if $b>0$ and $v>2a$, $s(a,v)=0$ if $b\le0$ and $v\ge2a$, and $s(a,v)=\infty$ otherwise; in particular, $s(a,v)=\infty$ if $v<2a$. Thus, with $|R|:=\max\{|x|\colon x\in R\}$, the value of the dual problem is
$$\inf_{v>2|R|}\Big(v+\int_R \frac{\max(0,b)^2}{4 (v-2|x|)}\,dx\Big).
$$


While there's no doubt that voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service has delivered a lot of value in its time, it's also opened up a new problem for businesses: VoIP fraud. It's the kind of thing that can deliver big bills to a business, depending on how it's used, and turn what should be an advantage into a real detriment. A new measure from TelcoBridges and TransNexus (News - Alert), meanwhile, may help businesses better spot VoIP fraud before it can do real damage.
The new combined effort brings together TelcoBridges' TSBC5000 Session Border Controller (SBC) with TransNexus' NexOSS system, incorporating a slate of back office applications into a VoIP gateway. With such things as least-cost routing , traffic reporting and more now directly added to a gateway, it becomes a comparatively simple matter to have VoIP fraud detection systems built directly into the hardware that helps make VoIP possible for many users in the first place.
With the system in place, VoIP operators can better set up specific points on call rates, keep a closer eye on network traffic, and add billing reports. The system integrates readily with session initiation protocol (SIP) trunking and several other systems to provide the greatest overall value. This isn't the first time that the duo has worked together; TransNexus' NexOSS has been part of the TelcoBridges Tmedia Gateway (News - Alert) line since 2010. By adding NexOSS to the SBC, though, it's a development that only gets better.
Those who want better insight into TransNexus and its operations, meanwhile, need only head for Fort Lauderdale and the ITEXPO event taking place through Friday at the Broward County Convention Center. TransNexus has a booth at the event, and can be found at Booth 416.
Since VoIP fraud can represent a huge expense for businesses that really puts a crimp in operations, it's worth considering a means to combat that fraud before it can become a serious problem. With TransNexus and TelcoBridges (News - Alert)' approach, it's possible to spot that fraud right from a system that already should be in place, meaning that it doesn't take a lot of extra operational or capital expense to set it all up. That's a boost to cost savings right there, and when the value of VoIP fraud is considered—one arrest involved $4.4 million in VoIP fraud, and that back in 2012—it makes the value of stopping it all the potentially greater.
Stopping VoIP fraud before it means a big bill for your business can be a huge accomplishment, even if it doesn't necessarily generate that much more cash. TelcoBridges and TransNexus have made it just a little easier to stop a problem before it starts.


Regarded alongside the major Pop Artists of his generation, Segal was born in New York to a Jewish couple who emigrated from Eastern Europe. Initially running a Brooklyn butcher shop, the pair moved to New Jersey to set up a poultry farm which Segal helped run as a young man. By 1949, he received a teaching degree from NYU and pursued his love of art, joining the 10th Street scene which embraced expressionist, figurative themes.
In 1958, Segal began to experiment in sculpture. As his profile grew, he became known, along with Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol as part of the Pop Art movement. Among many other honours, in 1999 he was awarded the US National Medal of the Arts and, in 2006, The George and Helen Segal Foundation helped establish the George Segal Gallery at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

you need to declare the context.browser (in a before_all/before_scenario/before_feature hook definition or just test method definition) before you use it, e.g.:
context.browser = webdriver.Chrome()

Please note that the hooks must be defined in a separate environment.py module

A: In my case the browser wasn't installed. That can be a case too. Also ensure path to geckodriver is exposed if you are working with Firefox.

Duterte's cinematic solution to South China Sea conflict

Written by Ellen Tordesillas
Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's proposed solution to the South China territorial conflict would make a thrilling action-packed movie scene.
In a speech before travel executives at the MOA-SMX last Friday (and in all his rally speches) Duterte said, "I will ask the Navy to bring me to the nearest point in South China Sea that is tolerable to them and I will ride a jet ski. I'll carry a flag and when I reach Spratlys, I will erect the Filipino flag. I will tell them, suntukan o barilan."
When Duterte said this, he held a Philippine flag beside him. In the evening rally at Filinvest in Muntinlupa, he put in more drama: he kissed the flag.
Imagine the president of a country jet-skiing to the Chinese occupied Subi Reef, the nearest of the contested Spratly features to the Philippine occupied Pag-asa island and being met by armed Chinese soldiers. That would make a great movie.
Former Interior Secretary Rafael Alunan, who is critical of China's activities in the South China Sea and is a senatorial candidate under Duterte's ticket, said he is willing to accompany if and when Duterte makes that Spratlys flag-installing trip.
There was no chance to ask Duterte how he is going to make sure that the flag that he has planted in a Spratly rock stays there.
It will be recalled that many years ago, former Ilocos Norte Rep. Roque Ablan had also done Philippine flag-planting in Scarborough or Panatag shoal, 124 nautical miles off Zambales, which is also being claimed by China. The Chinese had removed the flag and they are now in control of the area the last four years. Filipino fishermen complain that the two Chinese Coast Guard ships that secure the area block their access to the fishing grounds near the shoal and the Aquino government couldn't do anything except complain and protest.
But even while Duterte said he will challenge the Chinese to "suntukan o barilan" (much applauded by the adoring audience), he also said, "I will not go to war because we will not win. It will be a massacre. I will not waste the lives of Filipino soldiers and policemen. Ano ako gago, Patay lahat yan."
Whatever the decision of the United Nations Arbitral Court on the suit filed by the Philippines against China's all-encompassing nine-dash line, Duterte said he plans to talk with China even on a bilateral basis, a diplomatic strategy that the Aquino government shunned limiting itself to multilateral talks.
(In Spratlys, aside from the Philippines and China, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan are also claiming partly South China Sea features. Scarborough shoal, on the other hand, is being claimed only by the Philippines and China.)
Duterte calls the issue of jurisdiction, who has the legal power or authority over an area which is contentious in territorial disputes, "shit."
"You think that I'd waste the lives of our Filipino soldiers for the shitting issue of jurisdiction?" he asked.
He said he is open to a joint exploration with China of contested areas in the South China Sea ( "If you want joint exploration, kung wala akong pera pang-equipment ko, just give me my part") if China would build railroad infrastructure all over the Philippines.
He said he will keep quiet about China's activities if they will build railroad infrastructure all over the country: "Build me a train around Mindanao, build me a train from Manila to Bicol, build me a train going to Batangas, for the six years that I'm president, I'll shutup."
China has reclaimed some 60 hectares in the disputed Spratlys, converting rocks into islands since last year and declaring sovereignty over almost all of the South China Sea. The Philippine Constitution, on the other hand, states that "The exploration, development and utilization of natural resources shall be under the full control and supervision of the State."
The government of Gloria Arroyo entered into a Joint Marine and Seismic Undertaking (JMSU) with China and Vietnam in the disputed areas of Spratlys (most within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone) but its constitutionality has been questioned before the Supreme Court by Rep. Neri Colmenares, who is now running for senator.

Q: To follow a prepositional phrase with an imperative one
Except for Louisa, who's away in Berlin this weekend, we'll all be at the party.

The first sentence is from Cambridge dictionary and hence I know it is correct.

Fruits: Except for apples, eat them only on Thursdays.

I'm wondering whether the second one OK. Is it grammatically correct and idiomatic to follow a prepositional phrase ("except for apples") with an imperative one ("eat them only on Thursdays)?
I don't actually care about apples and Thursdays, of course. This is just an example.

A: Normal order of words:

*

*Except for bananas, eat all the fruit on your plate.

VERSUS

*

*Eat all the fruit on your plate except for bananas.

Both are correct.
There is no rule that says you can't preposition a prepositional phrase.
