European Parliament and Commission, European Games' organizers, governments: how fight is on for REP Trade Union in international arena
Kemal Özkan, Deputy Secretary General of the IndustriALL Global Union, spoke at the Plenum of the REP Board in direct Skype communication from Geneva. He told what the Global Union is doing so that the "REP Case" does not disappear from the global agenda.
We present below Mr Özkan's speech:
"Good afternoon, brothers and sisters, hello from Geneva. Thank you for allowing me to speak at your Plenum, it is a great honour for me.
We continue monitoring the processes underway in Belarus; and the IndustriALL Global Union has always been and will be shoulder to shoulder with you in your struggle for the fundamental rights of workers and the union. This is our common struggle: you are fighting in your country, we are doing the same in the international arena, so that justice in Belarus and elsewhere will win.
It is completely unacceptable for us that both Gennady and Igor, being restricted in their rights, were in some sense withdrawn from the trade union movement. Although they are not in jail, we perceive them as political prisoners, like the people who suffered for their convictions.
On January 16, I stated all this when we met Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. It was when leaders of the four largest trade union associations met high-ranking EU representatives specifically on the issue of the verdict passed to Gennady Fedynich and Igor Komlik. We declared that it is unacceptable for the EU to continue relations with the country, where the fundamental trade union rights are systematically and cynically violated. We were told that the EU has very weak mechanisms to seriously influence the leadership of Belarus. But we insisted that if an EU-Belarus partnership agreement was signed, it should contain a section that reflects the inviolability of trade union rights and fundamental rights of workers.
Currently, we, as an international trade union movement, continue communicating with the EU, sending proposals on what specific provisions should be included into such agreement. We keep reminding the EU leaders that in any contacts with Belarusian leadership, your particular case should be raised before them. They also informed us that both the EU delegation and most ambassadors of the EU member states to Belarus are regularly contacting Gennady Fedynich and have already expressed their support in this case.
Apart from the EU and the European Commission, we also contacted the European Parliament, in particular, the MEPs from those countries, which have closest relations with Belarus. We have already met the Director General of the ILO and discussed the situation in Belarus, and we are going to meet his adviser Kari Tapiola in the near future, so that the ILO will also give a clear enough message on both the fundamental rights of workers and trade unions in Belarus and the court judgement regarding Gennady and Igor.
We are also in constant contact our member union organization in Sweden, Germany, Denmark and other countries, for them to inform their governments about the rights situation in Belarus, and they tell us that they work with governments.
We have appealed and will appeal to the organizers of the European Games, so that they, for their part, also raise these issues with the government of Belarus. Apart of sending letters to the organizing committee, we urged our member organizations to raise the issue of their countries' participation in these games through their national federations. We have also established contact with lawyers from the UN Human Rights Committee, and this is a serious organization.
I have described the steps we are taking in the international arena to campaign for our friends, our trade union colleagues. At the Congress in Rio de Janeiro, our main slogan was 'The struggle continues!' – this is our confirmation of the fact that we continue fighting together."

UK Renewable Energy Finally Reaching Viability
· Climate Change,Energy
The falling costs of wind and solar energy will soon make UK renewable energy viable without subsidies.
⚡
2011: 1 UK Solar Megawatt typically cost £2.5m
2018: 1 UK Solar Megawatt typically costs £0.7m
The falling cost of UK renewable energy means that between now and 2030, an extra £20bn of investment is forecast in alternative energy projects in the UK alone. Booo-yeaa!
In 2011, the UK government helped wind & solar farms to boom through subsidies. However, those subsidies have been gradually withdrawn or even banned.
The good news is previous investments in this area have resulted in technological advancements & the manufacture of renewable energy units such as solar panels. Development in battery technology has also contributed to the success of renewables, reducing the national grid's need to turn back to coal, gas & nuclear when the sun wasn't shining and the wind wasn't windy!
This is great news for all of us. Transitioning away from carbon-based energy sources is vital if the UK is to achieve its commitments laid down in the Climate Change Act and worldwide Kyoto Protocol.
Despite drops in COAL usage, the UK is still very reliant on nuclear & gas for its national grid energy. However the increasing investment in renewables should help the UK to further reduce CO2 emissions and make clean energy more financially viable. Well, some people say💰💸💷 makes the world go round... which bring us to...
Money talks. One way we can make a difference is by switching our energy providers. Last year a survey by consumer magazine Which? reported their top 3 green energy suppliers to be: Ecotricity, Green Star & Good Energy These guys aren't any more expensive than your dirty-energy providers. Save money and save the planet - give us a reason not to!

"Charlie" is Aprils' second foal and she has given me another stunning sport horse prospect! I believe this boy and his rider will be successful in any sport they put their heart into - hunter, jumper, dressage, western pleasure, trail...you name it - this boy will do it with style! Plus, if he's like his older brother and uncles - he'll also be very 'cow-ie', making him a great working ranch horse.
I personally feel that Smokey Black is the 'ultimate color' for those wanting to compete in dressage or hunter type classes, you have the 'classic dark horse' the judges like, but still have the hidden cream gene giving the ability to throw color as a sire - advantages in both the show ring and breeding shed! Charlie has stallion potential and is possibly homozygous black based, if you are looking for a sport stallion prospect or a top notch gelding - look no further!

U.S. Bike-Sharing Fleet More than Doubles in 2013
Janet Larsen
www.earth-policy.org/data_highlights/2013/highlights40
Earth Policy Release
Data Highlight
The opening of the San Francisco Bay Area bike share on August 29, 2013, brings the combined fleet of shared bikes in the United States above 18,000, more than a doubling since the start of the year. The United States is now home to 34 modern bike-sharing programs that allow riders to easily make short trips on two wheels without having to own a bicycle. With a number of new programs in the works and planned expansions of existing programs, the U.S. fleet is set to double again by the end of 2014, at which point nearly 37,000 publicly shared bicycles will roll the streets. (See data.)
The largest bike share in the United States is in New York City, where some 6,000 bicycles are available at 332 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The program opened at the end of May 2013, and in less than 3 months hit 2 million trips. On busy days, each bike gets checked out seven times or more, a remarkably high borrowing rate. The city ultimately hopes to expand the program to other boroughs and grow to 10,000 bikes.
The other large bike-sharing debut in 2013 was in Chicago, where 1,500 Divvy bikes now grace the streets. The program hopes to double to 3,000 cycles by the end of the year, ultimately growing to 4,000 strong—reinforcing the city's efforts to dramatically boost biking. In addition to making shared bikes readily accessible transit, Chicago plans to extend the path and trail network to within a half-mile of all residences.
(Click to enlarge.)
Before New York and Chicago came on the bike-sharing scene, Washington, DC, held America's top spot. Its program has grown to over 2,000 bikes, spreading into neighboring communities. Transport planners from cities around the country have made the pilgrimage to Washington to ride one of the cherry-red Capital Bikeshare bikes and see firsthand how the popular program works. Since 2007, biking in the nation's capital doubled to 3.5 percent of all commuter trips, and bike sharing has made it more convenient to travel the expanding web of marked cycle lanes.
Other large bike shares include Nice Ride in Minneapolis and St. Paul (1,550 bikes), Hubway in the Boston area (1,100 bikes), and DecoBike Miami Beach (1,000 bikes). Aspen, Columbus, Fort Worth, and Salt Lake City are among the more than a dozen programs that opened in 2013, joining a list of cities that have enjoyed bike sharing for longer, including Denver, San Antonio, Chattanooga, Madison, and Fort Lauderdale.
On the international scene, the United States is just catching Europe and Asia's bike-sharing tailwind. Worldwide, more than half a million cycles can be picked up in well over 500 cities in 51 countries. Italy and Spain have the greatest number of programs, while China is home to two thirds of the global shared bike fleet.
New York is the only American city to make it onto the list of the world's 20 largest bike-sharing programs. In fact, five cities have more shared bikes than the entire U.S. fleet. Four of them are in China, where Wuhan reportedly has some 90,000 shared bikes for its 9 million people. Hangzhou has 69,750 bikes that are well integrated with that city's mass transit.
The world's third largest bike share is Vélib' in Paris, the first large-scale program to gain worldwide attention. Since its 2007 launch, riders have taken 173 million trips. According to the program, one of the nearly 24,000 Vélib' bikes gets checked out every second of the day. Vélib' claims to have the highest bike density among the world's top programs, with one bike available for every 97 city residents.
Within the next year, the U.S. bike-sharing fleet will have caught up with Paris. New entries in Florida could push the country past that mark, with launches expected in Miami (500 bikes, an expansion from Miami Beach), St. Petersburg (300 bikes), and Tampa (300 bikes). Phoenix is also hoping to launch a 500-bike program that will double in size as neighboring cities join in. Rollouts hoped for in 2014 include large offerings in Los Angeles (some 4,000 bikes) and San Diego (1,800 bikes), as well as 500+ bike programs in Portland (Oregon), Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Seattle, along with a number of smaller markets.
The new San Francisco Bay Area scheme is starting out relatively diffuse, with 700 bicycles split between San Francisco and other cities along the 50-mile rail line south to San Jose. Planners note that it ultimately could grow to a network of 10,000 bikes, better allowing rail riders to travel the first and last mile or so of their commute on two wheels. As communities continue to improve their biking infrastructure and as enthusiasm for an efficient, environmentally friendly, healthy, and enjoyable form of transportation grows, bike sharing has a bright future in the United States.

Haunted by the Lockerbie air disaster, grieving families and those who helped in the aftermath joined forces as part of commemorations marking the 30th anniversary of the bombing.
And a rider on a white horse led the way on a walk of peace where the tragedy all unfolded on December 21, 1988.
It was where the Pan Am Flight 103 came down over the Scottish town where the walkers met to remember those who lost their lives.
A bomb stashed in the cargo hold tore through the aircraft's fuselage, scattering debris over hundreds of miles.

All 259 people on board were killed and 11 others died after parts of the plane fell onto their homes below.
The routine flight was heading from Frankfurt to Detroit via London and New York but it ended up becoming the centre of a global storm.
On Saturday, residents of the Dumfries and Galloway town and those who witnessed the aftermath of the tragedy were among the 50-strong group taking part in the poignant event.
Religious leaders and representatives from Allanton World Peace Sanctuary also joined the gathering.

The walkers scaled Burnswark, a flat-topped hill to the south of Lockerbie, which overlooks the affected area.
They carried with them 21 flags to represent the 21 nationalities of the victims of the air disaster.
Krystal Anderson met the group at the summit after riding her white horse, named Rebel, from Tundergarth, as she carried the Lockerbie Standard.

Ms Anderson is from one of the many local families that helped after the bombing.
She said: "So many people were affected by the bombing, but the community really showed how strong it is, and everybody rallied round. Ever since then people from this area have been working for peace.
"I see the ride as being a way to help spread that message of peace."
The hill walk was one of three linked Journey Towards Peace events that focus on hope, kindness and the need to end conflict.

Jan Hogarth, an environmental artist working on the events, said: "In the decades since the bombing the people of this area have shown people kindness and compassion.
"These events build on that positive process, bringing together people of all generations and of many backgrounds and beliefs with the common goal of spreading a message of peace and hope on earth."
Earlier this year the parents of one of the victims welcomed the news that the case against the only man convicted of the atrocity is to be reviewed.
Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for 27 years in 2001. He has always maintained his innocence and several family members of UK victims have long called for a fresh inquiry in to what happened.

In 2002, al-Megrahi lost an appeal against his conviction and he dropped a second in 2009, shortly before he was released from prison on compassionate grounds while suffering from prostate cancer.
His family lodged a posthumous appeal last year and the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission agreed that it can proceed.
One of those killed in the attack was Alistair Berkley, a 29-year-old law lecturer, whose parents Jean, 88 and Barrie, 91, now live in Hexham.
They help run the 'UK Families Flight 103' group which has long campaigned for a new investigation into the bombing and continues to meet twice a year.
The group, which is made up of around 30 families, has been addressed by Aamer Anwar, the high-profile Scottish lawyer who has led efforts to have the case reviewed.

At the time Mr Berkley said: "We are coming up to the 30 year anniversary of the bombing and all these years we've been trying to get to the truth behind who was involved with instigating it.
"Several previous appeals have failed, partly because al-Megrahi gave up on the second attempt when he was dying from cancer.
"We're extremely pleased to see this is going to the next stage and there will be a full review of the evidence."
On Friday memorial services were held in Scotland and the US to remember those killed.
Wreaths were laid and Scottish Secretary David Mundell, who is from the town, attended a service at Dryfesdale Cemetery where prayers were said for all those affected by the biggest mass murder on British soil in recent history.
A memorial mass was also held at the town's Holy Trinity RC Church. Canon Patrick Keegans, who was parish priest in Lockerbie in 1988, also spoke.

McLarty Scholars: Advancing Progress Globally
The McLarty Scholars program provides young leaders with the opportunity to support, engage with and learn from leading non-governmental organizations in Washington, D.C. While making their own distinctive and enduring contributions to each organization, scholars also work alongside change-makers around the globe who are advancing progress for women and girls in significant ways.
The Scholars are high-achieving students or recent graduates from the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas. They are highly motived, pursuing an interest in international affairs and women's empowerment issues.
Scholars placed with Vital Voices Global Partnership conduct essential research, monitoring and evaluation. Their collected data directly allows the organization to confirm the effectiveness of its programs to support and empower the ever-growing network of women and their male allies, or cause it to pivot, charting a new course as the situation demands.
Former scholars have also engaged with Georgetown University's Institute for Women, Peace and Security, conducting rigorous research into the role of women in conflict prevention and resolution. Their research has contributed to the growing body of knowledge that helps to inform practitioners and public policy makers.
McLarty Scholars support and impact the enduring missions of both institutions, allowing each to adjust and adapt to fluid situations.
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PARTNER INSTITUTIONS
"Being a McLarty Scholar has taken my professional career to the next level, helping me connect with top organizations advancing the rights of women and girls around the world. It's the close-knit community of the McLarty Scholars that makes it so special. Not only have I had access to exceptional professional opportunities, I've developed close friends and mentors through the McLarty Scholars network. "

Q: Differentiation of solution to time-dependent system of equations: Problem 2-15(c) from Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds This is Problem 2-15(c) from Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds.

Problem 2-15(c). If $\det(a_{ij}(t)) \neq 0$ for all $t$ and $b_1,\dots,b_n : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are differentiable, let $s_1,\dots,s_n : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be the functions such that $s_1(t),\dots,s_n(t)$ are the solutions of the equations
  $$
\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ji}(t) s_j(t) = b_i(t) \qquad i = 1,\dots,n.
$$
  Show that $s_i$ is differentiable and find ${s_i}'(t)$.

It is also given (in part (b) of the same problem) that the $a_{ij}$'s are taken to be differentiable.
I am presenting my solution below, followed by my question.

Let $A(t) = (a_{ij}(t))$ be an $n \times n$ matrix for each $t$. Then, the given system of equations corresponds to
$$
S(t) A(t) = B(t),
$$
where $$S(t) = \begin{bmatrix} s_1(t) & \cdots & s_n(t) \end{bmatrix}$$ and
$$B(t) = \begin{bmatrix} b_1(t) & \cdots & b_n(t) \end{bmatrix}.$$ Let
$$
A_i(t) = \begin{bmatrix}
a_{11}(t) & \cdots & a_{1n}(t) \\
\vdots &  & \vdots \\
b_1(t) & \cdots & b_n(t) \\
\vdots &  & \vdots \\
a_{n1}(t) & \cdots & a_{nn}(t)
\end{bmatrix},
$$
where the $b_i$'s are inserted in the $i$th row.
Then, by Cramer's Rule,
$$
s_i(t) = \frac{\det A_i(t)}{\det A(t)}.
$$
Problem 2-15(b) shows that $\det A_i(t)$ and $\det A(t)$ are differentiable, and so $s_i$ is differentiable for each $1 \leq i \leq n$. To compute ${s_i}'(t)$ we can use the chain rule. $\tag*{$\blacksquare$}$

My problem is that after applying the chain rule, I get a huge ugly expression with no means of simplifying it in sight. It doesn't look like the functions ${s_i}'(t)$ have any natural interpretation.
Now, I wouldn't put it past Spivak to ask the student to perform a lengthy calculation just for the sake of it (after all, that's what Problem 2-10 was all about). But I still can't help but feel I'm missing something here. Especially since he asks us to redo the computation later (Problem 2-40) using the Implicit Function Theorem.
Can anyone tell me if I'm proceeding in the right direction, or if there is another (perhaps more illuminating) way to solve this problem?

I'm stating Problem 2-15(b) below for completeness.

Problem 2-15(b). If $a_{ij} : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are differentiable and $f(t) = \det(a_{ij}(t))$, show that
  $$
f'(t) = \sum_{j=1}^n \det
\begin{bmatrix}
a_{11}(t) & \cdots & a_{1n}(t)\\
\vdots &  & \vdots \\
{a_{j1}}'(t) & \cdots & {a_{jn}}'(t) \\
\vdots &  & \vdots \\
a_{n1}(t) & \cdots & a_{nn}(t)
\end{bmatrix}.
$$

A: I would use vector / matrix notation.
You have
$$S(t)=\left(A(t)\right)^{-1}.B(t)$$
Knowing that $\left(A^{-1}\right)^\prime(t)=-A^{-1}(t) A^\prime(t) A^{-1}(t)$ you get
$$S^\prime(t)=-A^{-1}(t) A^\prime(t) A^{-1}(t)B(t) +A^{-1}(t)B^\prime(t)=A^{-1}(t)\left(-A^\prime(t)S(t)+B^\prime(t)\right)$$

A: I think I have managed to simplify the expression for ${s_i}'(t)$ into something reasonable. I am posting my work here as an answer. Again, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Let $f,g_1,\dots,g_n : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ by $f(t) = \det A(t)$ and $g_i(t) = \det A_i(t)$. Then,
$$
s_i(t) = \frac{g_i(t)}{f(t)},
$$
so by the chain rule we have
$$
\begin{align}
{s_i}'(t) &= \frac{f(t) {g_i}'(t) - g_i(t) f'(t)}{f(t)^2}\\
&= \frac{f(t) {g_i}'(t) - s_i(t) f(t) f'(t)}{f(t)^2}\\
&= \frac{{g_i}'(t) - s_i(t) f'(t)}{f(t)}.
\end{align}
$$
Now, we observe that
$$
{g_i}'(t) = \sum_{\substack{j = 1\\j \neq i}}^n \det
\begin{bmatrix}

$$
because $s_i(t)$ is a scalar and so can be multiplied into any one row
or column of a determinant, and in particular the $i$th row as we have done here. Hence,
$$
{s_i}'(t) = \frac{h(t)}{f(t)}
$$
where
$$
h(t) = \sum_{\substack{j=1\\ j \neq i}}^n \det

At present, there are numerous devices that make life less demanding for nursery workers. Truth to be told, the vast majority of the spare time and exertion for property holders by making diligent work for planting simpler, quicker and progressively proficient. One of the best handheld power cutters is known to be as the brush cutter.
One of these devices is a brush cutter that can be utilized to cut supports, cut hedges that have developed, cut seedlings and make since quite a while ago, cut edges of grass and fence edges. They are accessible in an assortment of sizes and types, so pick the correct one you have to consider you're planting prerequisites first. The brush cutter is the most commonly used handheld power cutters.
The brush cutter is like a little manual lawnmower with a straight shaft and a head with turning cutting edges. Obviously, you can lift it to utilize it on the ground. These gadgets without a doubt make the life of planters a lot simpler in light of the fact that they deal with the requirement for bunches of pruning and cutting in the patio nursery. These assignments are finished more rapidly than essentially utilizing convenient devices, for example, pruners or scissors.
For the individuals who need less, a hand mulched can be an ideal arrangement. The head adornment can be changed to suit the present assignment.

A few models have cutting strings, yet they don't keep going longer and are more reasonable for cutting grass ways than having a stalk with wood or stem.
The sort of fuel motor is characterized as a two or four stroke display. On account of two-stroke models, you cannot purchase arranged blended fuel, so you should blend the fuel accurately. You should purchase both fuel and oil and blend the sum in the accurate proportion of the brush shaper you pick. Guidelines for this ought to be given the brush shaper. It is less inclined to present 2 strokes inaccurately in light of the fact that there are few moving parts. Along these lines, the upkeep is less.
The four-stroke motor uses four stages to change over the fuel into vitality, so the name is utilized. These means are suction, pressure, burning and fumes. It's not as boisterous as a two-stroke motor; however, obviously, you don't need to blend fuel.
While picking a brush cutter, dependably lift the brush shaper and measure how overwhelming it is. Not every person can utilize the brush cutter effectively. Furthermore, recollect that when it's brimming with fuel it will be somewhat heavier. When utilizing a brush cutter, wear defensive attire and goggles, for example, gloves and boots. Peruse the directions cautiously and fix them in the right position.
The sharp edge will turn in all respects rapidly and will pull the caught flotsam and jetsam. Thus, there ought to be no sticks or stones before beginning the motor.

Jennifer Lawrence Is Back From Her Acting Hiatus
Story from Entertainment
Jennifer Lawrence Is Back From Her Acting Hiatus With The Perfect Project
Morgan Baila
PHoto: Stephane Cardinale/Corbis/Getty Images.
Jennifer Lawrence is ending her acting hiatus. In the past year or so since stepping back from filming movies, the 28-year-old has gotten engaged, had a tipsy night out in NYC with Adele, supported her best friend Emma Stone, and worked with Represent.us, a non-profit trying to put a stop to political corruption.
But, she's officially back, baby — and with a perfect-sounding new project. Lawrence is set to star in an A24 and IAC FILMS production. The untitled film will be directed by Lila Neugebauer, an acclaimed young theatre director making her feature film debut, from a script by first-time screenwriter Elizabeth Sanders.
Lawrence will also produce alongside Justine Polksy, her best friend, former assistant, and current producing partner at their recently launched production company, Excellent Cadaver. That's four women leading the charge on a project that is also backed by two names (Scott Rudin and Eli Bush) responsible for Lady Bird, Mid90s, and Eighth Grade. Yes, perfection.
While Lawrence is obviously known, and lauded, for her acting skills, recently she's been flexing her producing chops.
"In a relatively short amount of time, Jennifer has already proven herself to be a one-of-a-kind actress and businesswoman," Brad Weston, who has a first-look film deal with the company, told THR of her new venture. "Her versatility and commitment to working with the greatest filmmakers in the industry highlights our shared ambition to create thoughtful, fearless films, and we are extremely excited to partner with Jennifer and Justine as they start this new chapter."
According to IMDb, Lawrence is also a producer for Bad Blood, in which she'll star as disgraced Theranos entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes. Both films will likely drop in 2020, so get ready to see a lot of everyone's favourite relatable gal.

A Handful Of Pulp Classics Are Entering The Public Domain In 2020
written by Forbes December 2, 2019

Under US copyright law, any books published and films released in 1924 will enter public domain at the end of this month, when the year 2020 begins. You probably can't name a film from 96 years ago, but the rights to a few interesting book titles will be expiring. Here's what to know.
First, a swathe of fun pulpy genre books are entering the public domain, from murder mysteries to adventures to horror sci-fi. One of biggest names here is Edgar Rice Burroughs: His 1924 novel The Land That Time Forgot is accompanied by another 1924 novel, Tarzan and the Ant Men. Granted, that's the tenth Tarzan novel, so the character of Tarzan himself was already in the public doman: The only new elements are any new characters, plot and settings from this novel. Which include the Minunians, who are a fourth the size of a normal human, so that's cool.
Circa 1925: English novelist Agatha Christie (1891 – 1976).
Two Agatha Christie mysteries are from 1924: The Man in the Brown Suit and Poirot Investigates. While the titles don't have the same name recognition as Murder on the Orient Express, they're still worth revisiting — I actually happened to hear The Man in the Brown Suit mentioned on the classic detective story history podcast Shedunnit just last week.
Other pulp greats with 1924 works include H. G. Wells, for his weird novel The Dream, about a man from 4,000 A.D. who dreams he lived a life as a different person in the (then) modern-day, and H.P Lovecraft, for his short story The Rats in the Walls, a typically Lovecraftian tale featuring cannibalism and mental institutions.
They can't all be pulp, however: Literary classics published that year also include E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Sailor, A. A. Milne's poetry book When We Were Very Young and, in the nonfiction section, Mark Twain's The Autobiography of Mark Twain.
The childrens book category received a couple of franchise extensions in 1924: Hugh Lofting's Doctor Dolittle's Circus is the fourth in the Dolittle series, and Ruth Plumly Thompson's Grampa in Oz was the 18th installment in the Oz series, if that wasn't obvious from the fact that they has gone through so many protagonists that Grandpa had to make the trip. The very first book in what went on to be a series, Gertrude Chandler Warner's The Box-Car Children, also debuted in 1924.
Those are just the highlights: You can check out the rest of the fiction, nonfiction, and poetry entering the public domain in 2020 over here.
Oh, and if you're still stuck on the films entering public domain, I have to admit I was a little harsh earlier. Two masterpieces from director/actor Buster Keaton did indeed come out in 1924: Sherlock Jr. and The Navigator.

How Will the New Tax Law Impact Spousal Maintenance?
The new tax law has generated wide discussions on both sides of the political aisle. Regardless of your Party preference, there will be substantive changes come tax time in 2018. In addition to finding your new tax bracket, all of us will be anxious to discover whether the new standard deductions for single and married will result in a substantial individual gain or loss.
While most of us wrestle with these issues, couples contemplating divorce during 2018 need to be mindful of the impact that the new legislation can and will have on spousal maintenance. Let's first address the status quo regarding maintenance. Until December 31, 2018 if you are the person providing maintenance and you have an executed divorce or separated agreement you can deduct the total maintenance you provide. The person receiving your maintenance payment must claim the total amount as part of his/her annual income. Effective January 1, 2019 any executed divorce or separation agreement or any agreement modified after that date to address the issue of spousal maintenance creates a new dynamic whereby maintenance or alimony payments are not deductible by the Payor and are not included as income for the receiving party.
What precipitated the change? It is impossible to penetrate the fertile minds of our esteemed legislators but it appears that one factor is to take away a tendency on the part of some to use the current law to increase their maintenance payments which are still deductible at the expense of not dipping into retirement or pension accounts. The increased maintenance payment would be deductible, and the retirement/pension account would remain untouched. This could occur in mediation where rational and understanding couples try to create the best possible agreement for themselves and their children. So, if you are considering maintenance as a part of your separation/divorce, consider the implications of getting an agreement done before December 31, 2018 and those that occur when an agreement/divorce is concluded after January 1, 2019.
Let Jerry know if he can help you to reach an agreement on spousal maintenance during your divorce.

Q: Custom routes/paths/roads on Google Maps I need to be able to, using either V2 OR V3 (preferably 3), create paths which ignore buildings in a sense.
I was trying to create even a kml file to draw out all of the paths myself, and then find some way to turn them on/off as needed.
For example.  The user wants to go from point A to point B.  Between these points is a number of buildings.  The user physically CAN walk through these buildings(it's a campus).  I want to show them that on the map.
This way you don't have to do a loop-de-loop around, say, a parking lot, just to get to the other end of it.
If there is ANY way AT ALL to do this, I'd love to know.
An example of what I require can be found here: http://www.uottawa.ca/maps/
It's all pre-determined paths based on the two inputs from the user into the dropdown menu.  I can plainly see this.  But I have no clue if a) this can be done in v3, and b) how on earth they did it themselves.
Assistance required, and greatly appreciated!

A: If your campus is not very big, you may want to consider defining all the polyline routes by hand for each permutation, such that if you have 4 buildings A, B, C and D, you would need to define 6 routes:
A:B, A:C, A:D, B:C, B:D, C:D

Then simply build some basic JavaScript logic, that when you chose building A as starting point and building C as destination, you hide all polylines and show the A:C line only. You can also use Google's polyline methods to get the length in meters of each route, if this is required.
This is a short table of how many routes you would have to define, according to the number of buildings you have:
+-------------+--------+
|  Buildings  | Routes |
|-------------+--------+
|         5   |    10  |
|        10   |    45  |
|        15   |   105  |
|        20   |   190  |
|        25   |   300  |
+-------------+--------+

As you can see, it really gets out of control as the number of buildings goes up, so I would say that this option is only feasible to a certain point. At least you are lucky since the order of the permutations is not important, assuming that people can walk each route in both directions.

Interesting Note: I noticed that the Ottawa demo you supplied is not making any AJAX calls when requesting for directions. Therefore there is a good chance that they are doing the same as suggested above.

UPDATE:
Here is working demo using the v3 Maps API, which I hope can help you getting started:

The error means what it says; whatever you're doing isn't creating a valid disc image. Fwiw, all you have to do is just rename a .gcm to a .iso. There's nothing special, they hold the same data afaik.
You can use a program to generate the MD5 hash of your game file (google one, plenty of free ones). Compare that hash with one from GameTDB or Redump.org. If yours doesn't match, then you have a bad dump, in which case you should keep redumping your game until the hashes match.

SCOTCH BONNET ISLAND
By Robert B. Townsend
From WHEN CANVAS WAS KING, a soon to be published book by Robert B. Townsend
The schooners and steamers travelling down the lake from Toronto to Kingston used to skirt the north shore, breaking off at Cobourg and circumnavigating the "island county" by the lights of the Scotch Bonnet, Wicked Point (now called Salmon Point), Point Peter, and the Red Onion at South Bay, and the Ducks, Falseand Main. The two acre reef is about two miles from the mainland, where Huyck's Point juts out and the shore gallops away east into Big Sandy Bay, and catches its breath to turn south again at Wellington. Across a short mile of shoal lies Nicholson's Island.
The Public Works report of 1852-53 stated "In Lake Ontario a lighthouse is being built on the Scotch Bonnet or Egg Island, a small low island lying southeast of Presqu'ile and in the direct line of the Mail and other vessels running down the lake from Cobourg." The Scotch Bonnet light was set on a 54 foot high stone tower. It was burning brightly by 1856 and was finally blown out July 1st l942.
The area has been a famous corner of Lake Ontario for wrecks since the loss of the government schooner Speedy in 1804. Since then it has witnessed many other shipwrecks: the Ida Walker's and the Queen of the Lakes, and Belle Sheridan's loss above it at Weller's Bay; the International's and Jessie' and Henry Folger's at Wicked Point below it.
In its own vicinity, the schooner Blanche was lost, with Capt. Johnny Henderson and all his Cat Hollow crew in 1889. It was near here that the Ellen of Hamilton perished, drowning all hands. Back of the reef, on Huyck's Point, the Sarah Ann Marsh frapped in chains to hold her together, drove in a December snowstorm. Her crew were cared for by the farmer's wife on nearby Nicholson's Island.
The island is quite uninhabitable and awash in high spring water. In low water, it makes a good nesting ground for gulls. They like to hatch their eggs by the radiated heat of the sun-baked rocks. The keeper had to live on canned goods and hardtack or use a house on Nicholson's Island, a mile away, rowing across night and morning to attend his light. There was a great succession of keepers up until 1919 when the light became an unwatched beacon and was maintained as required.
It was a fixed white light in 1877 and was so for 56 years. In 1907 it was changed to "vapour lights" acetylene gas, with oil used in emergencies which sometimes occurred. A hand horn, worked by the keeper when he considered it necessary, was part of the equipment and in the days of the schooners it was a grand assistance by day and by night.
The Scotch Bonnet light flashed a welcome gleam to many an anxious mariner in the old days of sail for that narrow mile of water between Nicholson's Island and the mainland offered shelter for schooners and even for steamers against westerly gales if they had good ground tackle and were bold enough to wade through the welter of seas piling over the Bonnet light itself and back-surging from the western face of the island to leeward of it. Probably light keeper Pye's record of using up eleven lamps in one season was due to seas and gales breaking the lighthouse windows.
The Scotch Bonnet reef was too tiny and Nicholson's was not big enough to make much of a lee but combined they broke the sea somewhat, and the man or the ship nimble enough to round up sharply in the comparative smooth of the strait between island and mainland had a chance for life if his anchors held and the wind did not shift and come too hard from the north or the south.
The Scotch Bonnet light remains in service for modern mariners and those that sail in proximity will see the remnants of the crumbling stone tower on the island.


A security camera, one of 100 along the route of the Boston Marathon, is installed on Boylston Street near the finish line. The race will be held Monday.
BOSTON — There's a tense excitement running through this city as it prepares for the 118th Boston Marathon, a uniquely Bostonian event, held on Patriots' Day, the third Monday of April, which celebrates the first battles of the Revolutionary War.
Residents are waiting to see how much of the traditional carefree spirit of Marathon Monday will remain after officials implement security measures to make the 26.2-mile route "the safest place on the planet," a goal the long-term race director outlined last week.
The numbers are impressive: There will be about 4,000 uniformed and plainclothes police officers and National Guard soldiers along the course, more than double the number from last year. Law enforcement officers will be watching live video feeds from 100 cameras along the route — 25 erected just for the race — and from at least one helicopter.
There will be nearly 100 K-9 units, double the number from last year; and 260 people gathered in the multi-agency coordination center, three times the number from last year, to monitor security during the race.
"It's sort of what we have been doing, but on steroids, so to speak," said Peter Judge, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
There will be 36,000 runners this year, an increase of about 9,000 from last year, and there could be as many as 1 million spectators.
The agency maintains that spectators won't notice the extra security precautions too much. An idea to have a drone in the sky above the event was nixed, Judge said. People are urged not to bring backpacks or large bags to the event, but if they do, they will merely be searched and allowed on their way — something that could help make others standing near them more relaxed, knowing that they've been vetted, he said.
"We agreed that a primary goal is to preserve the traditional feel and character of the Boston Marathon," said Kurt Schwartz, director of the emergency agency, at a news conference last month. "Our safety and security plan accomplishes this goal."
The security plan is the product of seven months of preparation, Schwartz said. During that time, public safety officials traveled to other cities to observe their security procedures for large events, and consulted with other government agencies for best practices.
Despite those measures, some Bostonians are staying away from the finish line on Boylston Street.
John Ward, 66, was born a few blocks from the finish line and has lived in the neighborhood his whole life. He goes to the Boston Public Library — directly opposite the finish line — nearly every week, and walks past the Tannery shoe store, which he remembers when it was a drugstore with a soda fountain. He often comes down to the finish line to watch the end of the race, but is staying away this year — just in case.
"I don't have any fear, but there's too much spontaneity in a crowd," he said.
Medical professionals have also increased their staffing levels in case anything does happen along the route. The city will add 13 more ambulances, in addition to the 24 stationed along the course, as well as 140 emergency medical services workers who will line the route on bicycles and on foot. The Boston Public Health Commission will also have a medical station on Boston Common with 30 beds at the ready.
Dr. Lyle Micheli, director of sports medicine at Boston Children's Hospital, has worked at the finish line medical tent every year since 1975. Last year's events made Boston realize how vulnerable it was, he told reporters at a recent tribute to marathon victims. This year, he said, "I think we have prepared as much as we can."
The finish line tent this year ordered three emergency medical kits from Israel, complete with tourniquets and sterile gauze pads, which Micheli said he did not have last year at the finish line. He's also doubling the personnel available there, to six physicians and four physician assistants.
For some Bostonians, though, there's a fine line between preparing adequately and going overboard. Ken Perez likes to watch the July 4 fireworks on Boston's Esplanade, but last year, in the wake of the marathon bombings, the security was so tight that long lines kept him away. He's not planning on watching the marathon either, because he thinks security will be overbearing.
"I refuse to just react," he said. "They make it so you can't go anywhere."
There will be at least a few law enforcement officials not working in Boston on Marathon Monday. That's because they'll be running in the race. They include Edward Deveau, chief of the Watertown Police Department, which played a major role in catching the bombing suspects last year. There will be 12 Watertown police officers running the race Monday, Deveau said.
"I want to run the 26 miles in 2014 with some of my officers and cross the finish line together. To me, it will be a statement that no terrorist act will stop Boston from being united," he wrote, in an application for a special bib for those affected by last year's events.
He's run the marathon three times before, and thought he was through running because of a bum knee. But training with his officers has been a welcome distraction, he said in an interview. He's sure his officers are prepared to run, just as other public safety officers are prepared to protect.
"Security is always changing — it changed after 9/11, and then things changed after what happened on April 15," he said. "We've done our homework."
