A response to Jomo – my take on the 1935 riots
I have read with great interest Jomo's pieces of May 17 and 24 captioned "Sheriff Lewis, a National Hero." I have had an interest in the 1935 riots for a long time. I have read just about every official account, including confidential ones, on the events of October 21 and 22nd,1935.{{more}} I have read newspaper accounts, both local and regional, and have interviewed persons who were involved in the riots in different capacities: Clement Cato, a police constable of two years standing, who was at the Court yard on October 21; Constable Lucas Layne, one of two policemen stationed in Georgetown; Osment Williams, better known as "Mento"; Ronald Paris and Kathleen Sardine, who related what had happened at Lowmans/Campden Park; and Norman Williams, Robert Ogarro and Baha Lawrence. It is therefore from this perspective that I write and I certainly have a different take on the events from that of Jomo.
Some preliminary matters
The events of October 21 and 22 were clearly spontaneous. While in his May 24 piece, Jomo admits that the events of October 21 were "largely spontaneous" (I am not sure if the suggestion here is that the rioting in Campden Park/Lowmans on October 22 was planned), in his piece of the previous week he stated that the Governor introduced the fiscal measures on October 15 and that "during the intervening week there was mounting opposition to these proposals which would increase the cost of living." The truth is that the measures were introduced on Friday, October 18 and the meeting of October 21 was to approve them. So, there was no "intervening week." The working people did not normally attend meetings of the Legislative Council, since it catered mainly to the local elites and colonial big shots. (In fact, in the Governor's response to the riots, he indicated that he had only then realised that there was a section of the community not represented in parliament – a totally absurd statement to make!) News of the measures introduced into the Legislative Council only became known on the Saturday, when prices at some shops were increased. This created a great deal of concern. One can then understand why some of the working people approached McIntosh, asking him to represent their concerns to the Governor. One can also equally understand why the first group of protesters at the Courthouse were women, some of them armed with small sticks. Any increase in the prices of basic items would naturally first gain the attention of the women.
Sheriff and the persons with whom he played draughts and discussed matters were at their usual place at the "Ranch". They seemed unaware of what was happening. Donald Romeo, one of those playing draughts that day, said, at the preliminary trial of McIntosh, that he heard a great noise and moved across to the Court yard where he saw a big cluster at the gate.
Clement Cato was one of five policemen on guard at the Council Chamber. He indicated to me that Sheriff was among those persons who left to go to the prisons. Everything was then in chaos and there was really no one who seemed to be in charge. Sheriff, no doubt, was one of those in the forefront of what was happening at the Court yard. I am, however, yet to see that he was the inspirational leader who "played the principal agitational role that excited and mobilised the masses."
We can pick out the ringleaders from among those who were given gaol sentences. Martin Durham's was the harshest. He got 10 years hard labour. Eight persons followed with nine years hard labour. They are Donald Peters, Sheriff Lewis, Henry McCarter, Theophilus Hackshaw, Ebenezer Jordan, Alfred French, Brisbane Samuel and Edmond Birchwood. Eight persons got seven years hard labour, among them Donald Romeo and Clifford Hinds. Others, like Victor Applewhite got five years hard labour. Of the women, two got five years hard labour. They were Beryl Ollivierre and Lydia Laidlow; two got four years hard labour – Hermina Ollivierre and Beatrice George.
There is nothing to show Sheriff Lewis' connection with what happened in Georgetown and Campden Park/Lowmans, a matter I will take up in my next column.
I find quite incredible Jomo's statement that "…Sheriff's leadership on October 21, 1935 channelled every major political and social development from the formation and legalization of trade unions and political parties to the enactment of universal adult suffrage and the eventual attainment of national independence." On what is this preposterous claim based? Even if we were to give Sheriff a major role in what happened on October 21, how do you translate that into the claim that is being made? What is the link? Where else does Sheriff feature in the scheme of things? In fact, despite calls for an enquiry into what had happened in St Vincent, the British Government refused to buckle. St Vincent, as an individual colony, did not feature among the British list of priorities. What set things in motion was the fact of disturbances in a number of its colonies and the realisation that there were fundamental problems throughout the region.
The West Indian Royal Commission, in its report, made it known to the British Government that "…the discontent that underlies the disturbances of recent years is a phenomenon of a different character, representing no longer a mere blind protest against a worsening of conditions but a positive demand for the creation of new conditions that will render possible a better and less restrictive life.." It was this and the pressure exerted by the new politicians who began to galvanise the people and build their political consciousness that set the new agenda in motion.

Here we have put together some Coast Guard Scrapbook Supplies in the Coast Guard Scrapbook Store to help you complete your scrapbook layouts for that very important hero in your life. Just recently updated our selection of Coast Guard products. Check our store below.
Here I put together a Coast Guard Scrapbook Layout for a gentleman that had served in the Coast Guard during World War II. I did this for an album I put together for him after we went to the World War II Memorial in Washington DC on an Honor Flight. I did not have a photo of him, but I did get a photo of a Coast Guard Cutter at sea and printed it out to look like a watermark. I added a small photo of the flag, used a Dog Tag and journaled name, rank and dates of service and "Semper Paratus" the Coast Guard motto translated as "Always Ready." For the small blue photo with the Gold Coast Guard Seal, I scanned the album cover and printed a small photo of it.
I added a jounaling block on the left to put the words to the Coast Guard Anthem which I looked up on the internet. I used a Die Cut for the rank insignia and added that to the layout. The photo of the Freedom Wall at the WWII Memorial finishes out the Coast Guard Scrapbook Layout.
Here is a small changes to the Coast Guard Scrapbook Layout, using the same elements, but with a photo matte for a photo of your own Hero. You can also replace the photo of the Freedom Wall with any photo that you might have available.
Here in the Coast Guard Scrapbook Supplies Store you can purchase the items used on these layouts as well as the Album.

GTM Research's latest report, The Emergence of Meter Data Management (MDM): A Smart Grid Information Strategy Report, forecasts the MDM market to grow from $54 million in 2009 to $221 million by 2014 as planned smart meter rollouts occur and MDM vendors expand and enhance their product offerings.
The report defines MDM's role in smart grid build-out and presents the necessary prerequisites for MDM's success. The report's analysis includes the best plans for MDM deployment and presents technology drivers and inhibitors. In addition, GTM Research profiles and ranks the top MDM vendors vying for this market, including eMeter, Aclara and Itron along with eight other technology leaders.
One of the initial hurdles to MDM's breakthrough has been identifying the technology's role and value to utilities. GTM Research's report begins by presenting a definitive taxonomy of MDM's core components, including data repositories, enterprise integration platforms and enhanced smart meter functionality.
"Accelerated deployment of smart meters is driving demand for meter data management systems," said Chet Geschickter, a Smart Grid analyst at GTM Research and the report's author. "MDM creates an opportunity for utilities to build intelligent applications across the enterprise, but they need to adopt modern system designs including service oriented architectures in order to do this."
GTM Research's report ranks the top MDM providers in the U.S., positioning California-based eMeter at the top of the list. EMeter is most active in Texas and Ontario, where the company plans to roll out MDM systems to manage 6.5 million meters by 2014. U.S.-based Aclara and Itron are second and third respectively in GTM Research's ranking. Other companies included are Ecologic Analytics, EnergyICT, Hansen Technology, NorthStar Utilities Solutions, Oracle, OSIsoft, SAP MDUS and Telvent.
"MDM vendors have a strategic opportunity to expand beyond core meter data management with additional features like consumer web portals and data warehousing," Chet Geschickter said. "Their ability to work closely with utility customers is a key to growth and future success."
The Emergence of Meter Data Management (MDM): A Smart Grid Information Strategy Report is an incisive analysis of first-wave MDM deployment in North America and will be integral to define MDM's functionality, value and competitive market.
What is MDM? What are the core features, key system boundaries and limitations?
Which business problems does MDM solve and enable?
What is the strategy for managing meter data and what can that data be used for?
How mature is the market? Can utilities count on vendors both now and in the future?
What are the keys to successful MDM deployment? What are the pitfalls and how can they be avoided?

Sadhabas (or Sadhavas) ( sādhaba) were ancient mariners from the Kalinga region, which roughly corresponds to modern Odisha, India. They used ships called Boitas to travel to distant lands such as South-East Asia to carry out trade.

The early hours of Kartik Purnima (the full moon day in October and November) was considered an auspicious occasion by the Sadhabas to begin their long voyages. Coconuts, earthenware, sandalwood, cloth, lime, rice, spices, salt, cloves, pumpkins, silk sarees, betel leaves, betel nuts, elephants, precious and semi-precious stones were the main items of trade. Even women went on voyages as well and were known as Sadhabanis ( sādhabāṇī). Odia navigators were instrumental in spreading Buddhism and Hinduism in East and Southeast Asia. In addition, they disseminated knowledge of Indian architecture, epics such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Brahmic scripts writing system and Sanskrit loan words which are present in many Southeast Asian languages from different language families such as Khmer, Thai, Cham, Balinese etc.

Maritime trade declined only in the 16th century, with the decline of the Gajapati Empire.

Etymology
During Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road trade era, two distinct types of trade in the subcontinent were controlled by merchant leaders such as shreshthis and sarthavahas. The shreshthis has their business in the towns and villages and fulfilled the need of the local region while the sarthavahas, also known as caravan leaders, travelled from place to place trading in both indigenous and foreign goods. They controlled both the import and export while also acting as whole-sellers and suppliers to the local shreshthis.

In Kalinga, the merchants who carried on overseas trade were known as sadhabas. It is believed that the word had probably developed out of the word sadhu, which means honest men and with its association with byabasaya (business), thus came to be known as sādhavaḥ which meant honest businessmen (sadhu byabasayi). Other scholars argue that sadhaba originates from the word sarthavahas which was also used for the maritime traders in ancient India.

Merchants

Description
The Sadhabas didn't form any particular caste but rather belonged to a class drawn from various castes. No particular community had the distinction of singularly involved in the process of overseas activities although the vaishyas did have significant association. The people responsible for rowing the boats were known as kandareas or majhis and were generally from lower castes but at later stage with largescale operations, people from higher castes also joined this activity. The titles of Mangaraja, Boitiala, Mahanayaka etc. also denotes entry of kshatriyas as helmsmen and captain of ships.

Trade guilds
The Eastern Ganga records refer to the following economic trade guilds:
goldsmiths
oilmen
milkmen
potters
copper workers
tambulika (cultivators and sellers of betel)
bell metal workers
sellers of sugar
patakara (splitters or carpenters)
perfumers
weavers
barbers
craftsmen
washermen
workers in conch shells
fishermen

Legacy
The Sadhabas had high esteem in the society and are mentioned significantly in the folklores especially that of Ta'apoi and numerous literary works. Their voyages across the ocean is remembered and celebrated in the festival of Boita Bandana held on Kartik Purnima when they used to set sail for trade. The worship of Goddess Mangala as the prime deity of the Sadhabas and their families was important in seeking blessings for good luck, protection of ships, safe return and profitable business due to the fear of shipwrecks and insecurities and fear of unknown duration the long maritime voyages.

Post decline in maritime trade
Maritime trade declined post the reign of Gajapati Empire and with the rising dominance of European naval powers in Asia, although minor contacts continued under the reign of Bhoi dynasty at Khurda. With the defeat of the Marathas in the Second Anglo-Maratha War in 1803 and the resulting annexation of Odisha into the British Empire, ended whatever remained of the maritime trade links.

After the decline in maritime trade vis-a-vis the modern era, the descendants of the sadhabas returned to their mainstream professions due to changes in social, geopolitical and maritime world order. The title of Sahu, Sabata, Sahukar are likely to have originated from the word sadhaba and is found across Odia communities as the sadhabas were a group of merchants consisting of different communities from different professions.

Notable people
Kaundinya I – A merchant trader who became the co-founder of the Funan kingdom(centered in modern Cambodia) after he married the local Nāga princess Soma around 1st century CE.

Top 10 Facebook updates from 2015
It's been over a decade; Facebook has managed to carve its way to the top of the charts and changed the face of social media consumption. To enhance the consumer experience, the social media giant continues to evolve through various updates.
Here are top Facebook updates that dominated 2015.
Early this year, Facebook introduced a feature allowing users to choose a legacy contact who can manage their memories, through their account post their demise. Once someone notifies Facebook that the person has passed away, it will memorialize the account and the legacy contact will be allowed to write a post to display at the top of the memorialized Timeline.
Otherwise, people can also let Facebook know if they'd prefer to have their account permanently deleted after death.
Throwback to memories
In May 2015, Facebook enabled a feature called 'On This Day' which resurfaces posts and photos shared by you on the same date in the past, since the time you joined Facebook.
Facebook initiated a tool offering a quick option to hide posts and pictures from a former partner after a user changes their relationship status.
Facebook's tool hides posts and updates and make it simpler to untag posts with an ex, without the need for the savage steps of un-friending or blocking.
Slideshow ads
In October this year, Facebook kick started a new ad format named 'Slideshow' aimed towards promoting video ads in emerging markets where slower, 2G internet connections are common. The thought behind this was to cater to small businesses with no video expertise; enabling them to create engaging ad experiences that will work well even when users have poor internet connections.
Instant Articles is a Facebook feature for use with collaborating news and content publishers. When a publisher selects an article for Instant Articles, people browsing Facebook in their mobile applications can view the entire article within Facebook's app, with formatting very similar to that on the publisher's website.
Safety check-ins
From the horrendous Nepal earthquake to Paris attacks and the recent Chennai floods, 2015 witnessed global hardships. Facebook lend a hand and initiated a feature called the safety check-in which allows people to connect with their loved ones and mark their safety through this feature notifying everyone in their friendlist.
Filtered profile pictures
Facebook, with this idea, created temporary photo filters to mark support for special occasions.
The world witnessed Facebook profiles pictures turning into rainbow filters when the United States legalized gay marriages in all 50 states; profile pictures were also filtered to show solidarity to Paris attacks and recently a filter was introduced for fans one the recent released Star Wars movie.
Updated News Feed
The social network giant released several new features to allow the app to work more efficiently on smartphones in areas where connection speeds are slow or nonexistent. With the update, users had the option to view older stories as new stories loaded with slower connections.
The update rolled out in September this year, extending their market in Africa and India where internet connections are poor.
Acts to prevent suicide
Earlier this year, Facebook took a step to prevent suicides. The social media network partnered with Now Matters Now, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Save.org and Forefront: Innovations in Suicide Prevention, a nonprofit operating out of the University of Washington's School of Social Work, to give users more options when they see a friend post something concerning. It works on both desktop and mobile.
Personalised News Feed
The social network giant announced a slew of tools that will allow people to, as the company says, "actively shape and improve the experience." Among the few things, the feature lets you select which friends and pages you see at the top of your News Feed, and help you more easily discover pages you might enjoy.
If you know of any update that should be featured in this list, do let us know in the comments below.

Aishwaria Sonavane
A vintage soul wedged in a wrong era, Aishwaria is contemplating life through the stardust of words. The typical Gemini is striving to seek balance between being downright dreamy to oh-so pragmatic. She's a strong supporter of wildlife conservation and the Queer community and craves to go around the world with her pen and camera. If you don't see her writing, she's probably snuggled up in a corner binge eating on pizza, listening to Coldplay and fantasizing about being in the wild.

Over the next year, commencing in July 2017, OCA's Camps Committed to Inclusion Project will provide information and resources to OCA members and non-members about the AODA standards and requirements to which they must legally comply.
The goal for this year-long project is to enable the successful inclusion of more people with disabilities – staff, campers, families, and volunteers in Ontario's camps. Through workshops, webinars, and case studies, camps will be provided with detailed information on the AODA and with tools and resources to assist you in your ongoing efforts to be more inclusive, welcoming, and responsive to campers, employees, and families with disabilities.
Below you will find some frequently asked questions, as well as key accessibility resources. Come back regularly to see our upcoming workshops and webinar announcements.
What is the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act?
Enacted in 2005, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was set to establish a process for developing and enforcing accessibility standards to ensure that people of all abilities have the opportunity to participate fully in everyday life, with a goal of making Ontario more accessible by 2025.
How do I know if my camp needs to be compliant?
Do not count employees outside Ontario. Do not count volunteers or independent contractors, though you are responsible for ensuring that the services they provide on your behalf follow the rules of Ontario's accessibility standards. You may also need to ensure these individuals are trained to meet the requirements.
Do I need to complete a compliance report?
When do I have to file an Accessibility Compliance Report?

Many of us are keen to hear market leaders share their predictions, hoping to pick up the latest trends and stay head of the curve. Yet the pace of change is now so fast that the future can be extremely challenging to predict.
As we heard the US chief advisor to Clinton and Obama Jeffrey Bleich explain recently, we are now the victims of 'runaway technologies'.
According to the current trends, survival into the future will not be a case of excellent performance, it will be more a case of exceptional propulsion. Few organizations will be able to keep up.
There is certainly already an awareness of the need to be looking ahead to what's much further along the track, with no shortage of popular innovation initiatives in organizations. Most people we meet are now acutely aware of the dangers of potential digital disruptions and the need for an entrepreneurial mindset.
Yet many initiatives still seem to fall short of expectations. In fact a Harvard Business School study has revealed that 95% of new products fail.

All Gov: Richmond Stumbles Through a Slow-Motion Public Housing Disaster
As of Thursday evening, around 7:10 p.m., more than 100 seniors and disabled Richmond residents had spent 302 days, 23 hours, 14 minutes and some odd seconds in the worst low-income public housing complex, run by one of the nation's worst housing agencies, since authorities labeled it uninhabitable.
The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) knows this because it has a running clock on its website tracking the fate of the 150-unit Hacienda Public Housing Complex since February 18. The Richmond City Council voted in March to give all the residents vouchers and kick them out of the moldy, rodent-plagued, roach-infested broken-down buildings. But it hasn't. The city didn't have a plan or the money.
"Clearly, we've failed in some of our public housing," Mayor Gayle McLaughlin said at the time. That might be a bit of an understatement.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has had the Richmond agency on a "troubled" list since 2009. The national Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) rated it among the nation's 45 worst (pdf) in 2013. The Contra Costa Grand Jury reportedly began an investigation in October.
Richmond Mayor-Elect Tom Butt was a city councilman in April when he told the Contra Costa Times he wasn't convinced the problem was as bad as people said and blamed HUD for whatever mess there was.
"(HUD) wants us to run a Champagne project on a light beer budget," Butt said.
By then, CIR's Hacienda-inspired "Subsidized Squalor" series (19 stories at last count) had begun and Richmond was embroiled in another public battle over conditions in a city whose largest employer is Chevron. The petrochemical giant and its supporters squared off with progressive elements in November in a fight for control of the city council. Chevron lost, but fighting over the giant oil refinery in the city is ongoing.
Richmond officials only belatedly found out that a rail terminal in Richmond was being used to offload oil from train tanker cars for transport by truck to a refinery in Martinez, raising environmental, safety and ethical questions. Crude-by-rail is rapidly escalating in popularity as an alternative to shipment by pipeline and ship, outstripping sluggish attempts to regulate it at the local, state and federal level.
Last year, Richmond proposed an innovative relief plan for homeowners facing possible foreclosure—using eminent domain to "refinance" troubled mortgages. That incurred the wrath of major banks, mortgage bond investors and the federal government. That plan has been stalled.
City officials made a formal application to HUD in May to help pay for the relocation of Hacienda tenants and tear down or restore the complex. It is still waiting to hear from the agency.
One resident, Clarence Malbrough, told Richmond Confidential he wasn't too optimistic about the outcome. Tim Jones, executive director of the Richmond Housing Authority (RHA), is a "great talker," the 16-year resident said. "He told us back in April they were going to tear it down, keep the land, and build a new place that we'd have first dibs on. . . . They discussed a better future for us. It's the same bull-crap month after month, year after year."

Justice Department Charges Zoom With Suppressing U.S. Calls About Tiananmen Square, at Behest of China
Drew Harwell and Ellen Nakashima, reporting for The Washington Post:
A security executive with the video-tech giant Zoom worked with the Chinese government to terminate Americans' accounts and disrupt video calls about the 1989 massacre of pro-democracy activists in Tiananmen Square, Justice Department prosecutors said Friday. […]
Prosecutors said the China-based executive, Xinjiang Jin, worked as Zoom's primary liaison with Chinese law enforcement and intelligence services, sharing user information and terminating video calls at the Chinese government's request.
Jin monitored Zoom's video system for discussions of political and religious topics deemed unacceptable by China's ruling Communist Party, the complaint states, and he gave government officials the names, email addresses and other sensitive information of users, even those outside China.
Outrageous in so many ways. How in the world can Zoom ever claim that calls are private and encrypted when they've clearly demonstrated the ability to monitor them, and abused that in patently offensive ways? Best to assume that every call made with Zoom is monitored by the Chinese government. Remember too that Zoom employs 700 people in China on its engineering staff. I'd be surprised if Zoom's source code and server infrastructure was not riddled with backdoors and eavesdropping features.
Allowing a Chinese-controlled company like Zoom to operate in the U.S. — and this goes for TikTok too — is to some degree in contravention of Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance. We, as a tolerant society, should not disallow communication services from other societies. But we must make an exception for services from intolerant societies, and there's simply no question China is intolerant.

Many ask themselves why 3D lipo is considered the best fat reduction treatment in the UK at the moment. It is perceived by some that a normal liposuction surgery yields better results. However, this is far from the truth, as 3D lipo is not only effective but it is a long-term solution rather than a "quick fix" to excess fat and overweightness.
The most influential factor when it comes to choosing between 3D lipo and other methods is the fact that the procedure requires no surgical tools, as it is non-invasive (does not require the penetration of the skin). This in itself holds many positives for customers. Firstly, the idea of going "under the knife" is an extremely daunting concept for most. It is both scary and has huge risks if something goes wrong. Furthermore, scarring of the outer layers of the skin is not ideal, as it is not visually appealing. 3D lipo is completely different in this regard, as ultrasound waves are used to eliminate fat cells when compared to sucking them out through a tube.
The cost involved with a generic liposuction surgery is also considerably more than that of the several 3D lipo appointments that are needed. This is because a liposuction involves quite a few surgeons as well as the use of a general anaesthesia. 3D lipo, on the contrary, is a single therapist to client ratio, leading to a far more personal and relatable situation. This also leads to a more relaxing environment because the patient is conscious, and can receive reassuring advice from the practitioner involved. The staff at the Tan and Beauty Salon are all extremely friendly and happy to help, and so there is no disadvantage to purchasing any of our treatments.
Whilst normal liposuction techniques are completely inferior in every way, there are similar practices to that of 3D lipo. For instance, Diode Laser fat reduction is non-invasive, relatively low cost and makes the experience much more enjoyable for clients. However, 3D lipo shines above this by offering the perk of needing absolutely no post-op exercise. The Diode Laser treatment merely breaks down fat into a more easily metabolised form, and rigorous exercise is needed for the body to process this fat. 3D lipo quite literally eliminates the fat cells that it breaks down, and so this is why it is currently considered the best fat reduction treatment out there.
As well as our initial 3D lipo services, we at the Tan and Beauty Salon have your beauty in mind. Therefore, as part of our treatments, we also offer cellulite reduction and skin tightening services, to make sure that the fat reduction does not result in excess skin looking tired and saggy. With just a few painless, enjoyable treatments, our customers can reap the benefits of perfectly flat tums and bums.
To book some 3D lipo appointments for yourself, or to get more information about the process or any of our other services, call us on 01895 621 234, submit an enquiry form here, or come into the salon to arrange a free consultation. We look forward to hearing from you soon and making your dreams come true!

Robert Plant Releases Short Film Previewing New Album
By Guitar World Staff 2014-07-22T20:48:52Z Artist
Former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has released Returning to the Borders, a short film about his forthcoming solo album, Lullaby and... the Ceaseless Roar.
The film follows Plant as he wanders through the English countryside, recalling the travels he undertook in the American South. Those travels inspired the lyrics heard on the new album.
"I've been away a long time from these borders," Plant says in the film. "I spent a lot of time traveling through the South. I was searching to see if I could find out the character of the area from the radio that was on in the car."
Due for release on September 5 in Europe, September 8 in the UK and September 9 in North America, Lullaby and ... the Ceaseless Roar was recorded at Helium Studios in Wiltshire and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Bath, England.

Amazon is allowing white supremacists and hate groups to generate revenue from their platforms.
Demand Amazon stop funding hate !
After white supremacist Dylann Roof murdered nine Black churchgoers in Charleston in 2015, Amazon said it was banning the sale of Confederate flag images from its site and stepping up enforced of their anti-hate policies, but it's clear from this latest report that Amazon has not taken the growth of white supremacy on their platform seriously. Amazon must take an immediate public stand against this hate and violence, and take action to ensure that it is not profiting from hate or enabling others to profit from hate.
Normalizing white supremacist, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic extremists puts our communities at risk -- and yet the country's largest online retailer and largest distributor of e-books is providing these groups with a platform to spread their ideas and generate resources to support their operations. We now have an unprecedented number of white supremacists running for elected office,5 a Presidential administration that's demonizing Black and Brown immigrants and attempting to denaturalize citizens,6 a Supreme Court that upholds racist travel bans,7 and another Unite the Right rally being planned in our nation's capital.8 The time is now, more than ever, for corporations like Amazon to take an unequivocal stand and say "no" to hate.

Central Italy rocked by two earthquakes
No deaths reported after twin earthquakes cause severe damage in the area that was hit two months ago.
27 Oct 2016 08:38 GMT
A series of strong earthquakes rocked a wide area of central Italy, striking fear among residents rattled by a deadly tremor in August, but there were no reports of casualties and few serious injuries.
The earthquakes toppled buildings and injured dozens, according to initial reports, hitting the same region that saw nearly 300 people killed in August this year.
The first 5.5-magnitude quake sent people running out of their houses on Wednesday, before the second, a more destructive 6.1-magnitude one, struck two hours later.
Rescuers working through the night and in the rain were struggling to assess the full extent of the disaster.
About five hours after the first quake, Civil Protection department chief Fabrizio Curcio said "tens" of people were reported hurt but only four suffered serious, non-life threatening injuries.
Italy witness recalls moment earthquakes hit
"The reports are not as catastrophic as we feared," he said.
The quakes were felt in the capital, Rome, sending residents running out of their houses and into the streets.
The second was felt as far away as Venice in the far north, and Naples, south of the capital.
"Many houses have collapsed. Our town is finished," Marco Rinaldi, mayor of the mountain town of Ussita, told Sky Italy television by telephone.
"The second quake was a long, terrible one," he said.
Temporary accommodation was offered to residents who were unable to return to their homes after the earthquakes [Tiziana Fabi/AFP]
The US Geological Survey (USGS) registered a first 5.5-magnitude quake at 19:10 local time (17:10 GMT).
The mayor of Serravalle del Chienti, Gabriele Santamarianova, said the quake felt "like bombs were falling".
"We saw a cloud of dust. We don't yet know what has fallen down. We'll see once the sun comes up."
Castel Sant'Angelo mayor Mauro Falcucci told Sky: "There is no electricity. There are bound to be house collapses. On top of this there are torrential rains."
In August, a 6.0-6.2 magnitude quake flattened the mountain town of Amatrice - 70km from Visso - killing 297 people and injuring hundreds of others.
The area is also not far from L'Aquila, where a powerful earthquake killed more than 300 in 2009.

After the second quake, Italian television channels broadcast images of collapsed buildings and people standing dazed in front of their toppled houses.
"It is not very easy to make assessments in the dark and the weather is bad in the whole region. We will have to see more precisely in the light of day," said Curcio.
Amateur video footage on television showed clouds of dust rising as parts of buildings collapsed in some towns, including Camerino in the Marche region, where a bell tower fell on a building.
Massive boulders, some the size of cars, fell on the main north-south road of the Nera River valley that links mountain communities.
The historic late 15th-century rural church of San Salvatore in Campo, near Norcia in the Umbria region, which had been weakened by the August quake, collapsed.
For people unable to return home immediately, civil protection arranged accommodation in gyms and prepared to reopen some of the tent camps which were set up after the August earthquake.
Many residents prepared to spend the night in their cars.

Generations: A Severe Young Man
1935, dir. Abram
Room A young communist, Grisha, falls in love with a woman married to a rich, world-famous surgeon. Written by one of the great Soviet modernist writers, Yury Olesha, the love triangle brings bourgeois and communist ideologies into collision – exploring what it is to be young in a new society.
Banned for deviating from socialist realism and discovered only in the '60s, this unconventional film veers towards the surreal at times. Chiselled communist athletes laze before classical statues and architecture, discussing the new morals set by the Soviet Revolution.
Vilnus-born Abram Room was a founding father of Soviet Cinema along with the likes of Eisenstein, Kuleshov. Whereas his early works were driven by the avant-garde, his later films move towards more conventionally formed narrative, offering profoundly insight on social change.

All of the lenses below I have had since new and all are in mint condition. There are no scratches on the lenses and having been in most all the time in Western Australia there is certainly no fungus. Western Australia is one of the driest places on the planet. There is no visible oil on the iris blades and all function as they should. I'm selling some of my lens collection to liberate cupboard space!

Q: Disable click for selected state in Jquery Toggle button
I just created a MVC 4 application in which I have a table with many rows. Each row has an Active or an Inactive status.
If the record is in an active state it's showing this buttons (like as in the 2nd row in the picture above).
<button
    class="btn btn-xs active btn-primary"
    data-HEI_ID = @item.HEI_ID
    data-status = "true">Active
</button>
<button
    class="btn btn-xs inactiveColor btn-default"
    data-HEI_ID = @item.HEI_ID
    data-status = "false">Inactive
</button>

If it's in inactive state it's showing this buttons (like as in the 1st row in picture above):
<button
    class="btn btn-xs btn-default"
    data-HEI_ID = @item.HEI_ID
    data-status = "true">Active
</button>
<button
    class="btn btn-xs inactiveColor btn-primary active"
    data-HEI_ID = @item.HEI_ID
    data-status = "false">Inactive
</button>

Here is the jQuery function:
$('.btn-toggle').click(function () {

    $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('active');

    if ($(this).find('.btn-primary').size() > 0) {
        $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-primary');
    }
    if ($(this).find('.btn-danger').size() > 0) {
        $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-danger');
    }
    if ($(this).find('.btn-success').size() > 0) {
        $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-success');
    }
    if ($(this).find('.btn-info').size() > 0) {
        $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-info');
    }

    $(this).find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-default'); {

    }

});

But when I click the selected state, either active or inactive, it is switching the buttons.
How to prevent this using jQuery?

A: You have binded click handler for the parent element of button instead you can bind it for button except having class active in it as this indicates the selected state.
$('.btn.btn-xs').click(function () {
    //return if clicked button have class active
    if($(this).hasClass('active'))
       return false;

    var $parent = $(this).closest('.btn-toggle');
    $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('active');
    if ($parent.find('.btn-primary').size() > 0) {

        $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-primary');
    }
    if ($parent.find('.btn-danger').size() > 0) {
        $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-danger');
    }
    if ($parent.find('.btn-success').size() > 0) {
        $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-success');
    }
    if ($parent.find('.btn-info').size() > 0) {
        $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-info');
    }

    $parent.find('.btn').toggleClass('btn-default'); {

    }

});


Japan on Monday reopened procedures to allow idled reactors to be brought back online, putting in place new nuclear regulations that reflect the lessons learned from the 2011 Fukushima No. 1 meltdown disaster.
While power utilities are expected to rush to file applications with the Nuclear Regulation Authority for safety assessments on a total of 10 reactors, none will be restarted anytime soon, because it may take around six months for each safety-screening process to finish.
Facing what the NRA calls the world's toughest level of nuclear regulations, utilities may also opt to give up efforts to restart some of the country's 50 commercial reactors and scrap them instead of investing in costly safety measures.
Four regional utilities filed applications Monday morning for the restart of 10 reactors at five nuclear power plants, in Hokkaido, Fukui, Ehime, and Kagoshima prefectures. Tokyo Electric Power Co. has also expressed its intention to request an NRA safety review for two reactors at its seven-reactor Kashiwazaki-Kariwa complex in Niigata Prefecture, but local opposition has made it difficult for the utility to apply Monday.
Among those applying for restarts, reactors that could precede others include unit 3 at Shikoku Electric Power Co.'s Ikata plant in Ehime Prefecture, which has been found not to have geologic faults that need to be checked and has already prepared a newly required seismic-isolated emergency response center.
Reactors must also have a venting system with filters that can reduce the amount of radioactive substances when pressure needs to be released from reactor containers during emergencies, but pressurized water reactors like unit 3 at the Ikata plant are given a five-year moratorium to meet the requirement.
But prospects appear bleak for aging units that will not only have to satisfy the new regulations but also undergo special inspections to continue to operate beyond 40 years.
The existence of active faults running beneath atomic plants could also be a critical factor that will result in the permanent shutdown of reactors.
The NRA has already acknowledged that reactor 2 at Japan Atomic Power Co.'s Tsuruga plant in Fukui Prefecture sits above a fault where movement cannot be ruled out in the last 120,000 to 130,000 years — a situation not allowed in the quake-prone country.
Japan entered a period of no nuclear power generation in May last year, but the government agreed two reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi plant to address power shortage concerns in the summer in western Japan. No other reactors have resumed operation since, while the NRA was launched in September to replace the previous, discredited nuclear regulator and to devise the new reactor safety regimen. After the NRA confirms that a reactor satisfies the new regulations, the operator will seek the consent of the host communities to restart them.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government has made clear it will push for the restart of reactors that are deemed safe and has also vowed to play a part in winning local-level cooperation.

Fluence Launches SHYFT Light Scheduler with Best-in-Class Photoacclimation Technology, Empowering Cultivators to Control Lighting Conditions
Fluence Launches SHYFT Light Scheduler…
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluence, a leading global provider of energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for commercial cannabis and food production, announced today the launch of SHYFT Light Scheduler (SHYFT), a lighting automation tool built to offer cultivators expert-level, easy-to-use control over their grow environments.
In an industry with notoriously tight margins, cultivators must leverage every advantage to improve environmental management, enhance top-line performance and cut operating costs. SHYFT is a user-friendly, wall-mountable waterproof device with patented photoacclimation technology that allows growers to automate, control and monitor lighting conditions in multiple fixture zones simultaneously. It also provides the ability to configure and replicate precise conditions for crops to help cultivators maximize yields and increase growing cycles per season.
"The goal of every Fluence product is to help cultivators grow smarter," said David Cohen, CEO of Fluence. "We achieve that not only by building best-in-class lighting products that help improve yields and increase efficiency but also by creating products like SHYFT that empower cultivators to more effectively and accurately manage their lighting systems."
SHYFT, which is compatible with Fluence's full range of LED lighting technology, is designed to withstand a wide range of operating temperatures and humidity levels and can be mounted directly in cultivation environments. The product's photoacclimation and photoperiod modes regulate the intensity and duration of light delivered, enhancing growth while protecting plant health. SHYFT can also be installed with the DC Flex Dimming Cable or Wireless Flex Dimming, a revolutionary solution that leverages Bluetooth Mesh technology to wirelessly adjust Fluence luminaire light levels using any industry-standard 0-10V dimmer or environmental controller.
"Fluence's team of scientists and lighting experts works alongside our network of growers to collaborate on what cultivators need to maximize both crop and operational performance," said Jordon Musser, chief product officer of Fluence. "We've heard from cultivators of all sizes the importance of optimizing yield consistency through scheduling. SHYFT offers the flexibility to customize the growing environment to accommodate various growth stages."
SHYFT helps smaller growers make the transition to automated scheduling and assists larger growers to eliminate unnecessary integration costs in more complex control systems.
SHYFT is currently only available in North America. For more information on SHYFT, Fluence and the company's extended portfolio of luminaires and lighting controls, visit www.fluence.science.

Wearing makeup may seem extreme, but men's grooming has come a long way since a quick combover and a splash of aftershave cut the mustard. Learn how to apply the right products properly and you can fake a few more hours sleep, a healthy glow and even a clear complexion. Here's our step-by-step guide to nailing natural looking makeup.
1. Choose a tinted moisturizer or foundation that's a good match for your skin tone.
2. Wash and moisturize your face.
3. Rub tinted moisturizer between your fingers and apply a thin layer evenly across your face, taking care to blend it in around your hairline and jawline.
4. Next, apply concealer to areas that requires more coverage (spots, blemishes, dark circles under the eyes and eye bags).
5. Finally, apply a light dusting of powder to areas prone to shine (nose, forehead, chin).


Universal Ethics. Arch of Karma. Price for Luck, Gifts, Realized Wishes. Personal Vocation.
Seven seems to be a "Lucky" or even "Magic" Number for many. "Do you believe in Magic?" This makes sense even if you do not. Seven teaches us the Universal Ethics, which says that any Miracle has its own price. The question is, who will pay, and when. You may discover that being 'God Almighty' brings you nothing except for the sense of sadness and loss. Be careful: you enter the world of Cosmic Balance. In other words, welcome to Heaven, the Home of Karma! Inner Honesty may be rewarded with bright talents and personal vocation on the level of Number Seven.


Canadians today are going to live longer than any previous generation, and more secure pensions will help them enjoy this extra time without exposing themselves or their families to financial burdens. Tweaking the legislation so that DC plans can provide pensions is a relatively easy and effective solution – and we're not alone in this perspective.
Respected Canadian actuary Malcolm Hamilton once said, "We've created workplace pension plans that do not provide pensions." Along with the National Institute on Ageing, signatories on the letter to Mr. Morneau include foremost voices for pensions plans and seniors across Canada. A forthcoming 2019 research report with the National Pension Hub (Global Risk Institute) and the National Institute on Ageing (Ryerson University) will provide insights for employers around the benefits of pooled-risk pensions.

A saying: Don't be afraid of death, be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever; you just have to live. Natalie Babbit.
From a magazine: The average reader's brain processes about 300 words per minute. I just had an eye exam and read that the approximate number of colours the human eye can differentiate is 10 million. And with my walking across Canada the article says I use as many as 40 muscles to take a single step. Speaking about walking for every pound of fat gained, a body creates at least 1 mile of new blood vessels. Also, my thighbone can support 30 times my body weight. And you use 13 muscles to frown and only two are used to smile. Which, actually at the same time, relaxes hundreds of muscles in your face. Perhaps one way to reduce face wrinkles?
Closing with: Churlish – of, resembling or characteristic of a churl: vulgar. Marked by a lack of civility or graciousness: surly. Difficult to work with or deal with: intractable. Rude or boorish person.

Hsia I-Fu, (1925–2016)
Hsia I-fu was born in Shandong Province in the early 1920s. Hsia passed the strenuous qualifying exams to enter the prestigious Hangzhou Art Academy in 1947 but because of the political turbulence, was forced to withdraw. He eventually escaped to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Army. Until the late 1970's, Hsia took on numerous art-related jobs from advertising to textile and interior design. In fact, the well-known package design of Taikoo sugar, a fixture in nearly every kitchen in Taiwan to this day, was created by Hsia in the 1950's.
Since 1978, Hsia has devoted himself solely to painting. While Hsia's paintings harken back to the monumental landscapes of the Sung masters, a careful examination of his brushwork and inkwash style reveals his work as clearly contemporary. His brush technique is unique, consisting of layering minute strokes over the course of days, and sometimes weeks, to construct massive, weighty rocks and mountains.
Hsia has held numerous solo exhibitions in Taiwan over the years and has a strong following throughout Asia. In 2002-2003, Hsia was given a retrospective show by the Taiwan National History Museum. Several U.S. museums, including: the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, The Norton Museum of Art, Florida, the Princeton Art Museum, the Newark Museum of Art and the Sackler Museum at Harvard, hold works by Hsia in their permanent collections.
