Locking any file or folder on Ma is one of the security measures. Just like every credit/debit card owner password-protects the print version of the card, a Mac user should take care of the privacy as well. Who knows who may access your computer when you are away?
Nowadays, every caring Mac user should know how to lock, hide, and encrypt personal information. This article contains a list of all available methods Mac owners use to protect their personal data. In case you leave your computer elsewhere or lose it, at least you can be sure about the safety of private information. Otherwise, you risk losing some necessary files or have them changed by a different user. An information outflow is the worst thing to happen.
There are two basic ways to lock a file/folder on the Apple computer. Disk Utility is the first thing to discuss as it is a native Mac's utility, free of charge. It does the bare minimum; so, to get more, one has to buy some third-party applications.
Be ready that Disk Utility is not able to encrypt or lock separate files. It works for folders alone. Do not expect any bells or whistles. In case free bare bones are what you need, check out how to work with this utility.
No matter whether you are using Mac OS X or prefer the latest versions like macOS Sierra and High Sierra, the method is everywhere the same. Once you protect the item, be sure it will not disappear or be modified without your permission.
1.	Choose the item you would like to lock with the help of Finder.
2.	Move to the File menu and select "Get Info." Another way is to push Command+I.
3.	Explore "General" tab and press "Locked" – it will lock the target file.
4.	Do the same with all items you want to lock.
Once you do that, drag the locked item from the Finder app to Mac's Terminal to finish its entire folder path. "Enter" button will activate the command, and the system may ask for the admin's password.
Now, every time you try to remove a locked item, a notification will show up telling that it is impossible to delete the file. Still, it will be possible to put it into the Trash. Cancel password protection in case you wish to get rid of such files. It is time to have a look at the process of unlocking files on Mac.
Before you decide to lock certain items, be aware of the potential difficulties in the future. Be ready or the frustrations with locks when dealing with such files in Terminal. From time to time, the Finder app will create certain barriers when managing locked items. Finder is needed to see the information window in order to set up/replace the file locks. In rare cases, the file's lock setting will be set, but it will turn gay meaning the user will not be able to remove the tick and unlock it.
It does not matter whether a Mac owner decided to unlock applications or word document, the principle is the same for all types of items.
To make it as easy as ABC, come back to the five stages mentioned in the previous section. All you need to do to unlock the certain items again is to reverse the procedure. Unselect the checkbox you see ear the "Locked" option. Get Info panel will help again. Some files that are protected with the special administrator's permissions will require a password to unlock them.
Use Terminal in the second case.
Some users wonder if there is an effective way to unlock multiple folders and numerous files on Mac. Yes, and it is possible via Terminal.
There are times when Mac user may want to eliminate the locked files once and forever. Empty Trash feature is not always a 100% accurate solution. Force Deletion is not secure, but sometimes there is no other way out. Observe some of the checked and safe ways to remove the locked files and folders from your Apple computer.
As mentioned above, locking files is a reliable method to prevent them from being changed or deleted without a user's permission. Try a simple way to remedy this if you do not need some locked items any longer.
1.	Right-click the locked item and select "Get Info." Another option is to press the icon and choose Command + I.
2.	Remove the tick next to the "Locked" checkbox.
3.	Shut down the "Get Info" tab.
Have you noticed a message that pops up while emptying the Trash can and deleting the locked files/folders at once with the help of shortcut of Shift-Option. The owners of OS X 10.1 and later can minimize their efforts this way.
What if the chosen files will not trash normally?
1.	Develop a separate folder on the desktop.
Place a problematic item over there. Come up with a SimpleText file. Name it the same way as the file you have issues with. Next, locate the SimpleText file in the closed new folder. Confirm that you wish to replace the existing file with the same title.
Go to its Preferences to switch on the original after stuffing. Shut down the DropStuff tool. Place the target item on DropStuff's icon. Once it vanishes, it becomes available to erase.
3.	Get a specialized third-party data-erasing software.
Launch it. Choose Delete/Remove from the app's menu. Move to the problem file or folder. Pick it in the list and press "choose" – this way you verify that you really wish to remove that locked file/folder.

Posted by These Green Times | Nov 28, 2022 | Story, Veterans | 0 |
By Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early
Two years ago, city hall plaza in our hometown, Richmond, CA., was the scene of a protest vigil organized by Estefany Sanchez and her two sisters. Estefany is a Richmond resident and an Army veteran whose experience of sexual harassment in the military led her to identify strongly with the tragic case of Vanessa Guillen, a 20-year old soldier at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.
Guillen was sexually harassed by fellow soldiers, at a base with one of the highest rates of sexual assault, sexual trafficking, suicide, and murder anywhere in the military. Her complaints to superior officers were repeatedly ignored before she was killed while at work in an armory on the base. Guillen's assailant, Aaron Robinson, then secretly moved, dismembered, and buried her body, with the help of a civilian accomplice still awaiting trial. After escaping from military custody, Robinson became one of more than 70 suicides at Fort Hood since 2016.
The Sanchez sisters' Bay Area demonstration was part of a grassroots movement to challenge and change the toxic work environment that many young soldiers encounter, even if they are never deployed abroad or serve in a combat zone.
Protestors around the country demanded Congressional action to better protect victims of military sexual assault and harassment. Some also angrily questioned the targeting of working-class communities by military recruiters, who encourage young people to enlist based on the promise of secure employment, job training, career advancement, and future access to affordable higher education through the GI Bill.
This Latina-led campaign for military justice reform is now vividly recounted in a new movie called I Am Vanessa Guillen. Produced and directed by Christy Wegener, the film takes its name from a now-viral hashtag created by Guillen's family to draw attention to her disappearance, which remained an unsolved mystery for several months, in 2020, due to a bungled investigation by the Army.
Other studies have found that one in four women in the military have been sexually assaulted. Even former U.S. Senator Martha McSally, the first female fighter pilot to serve in combat and a conservative Republican from Arizona, was subjected to such treatment.
I Am Vanessa Guillen shows how a vibrant young woman, from an immigrant family, became the human face of such statistics. She was part of a 21st century influx of women into the armed forces that was initially lauded as an unqualified victory for gender equality. During the last two decades, 300,000 women were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and, today, female soldiers comprise 16 percent of the active duty military. Women are also the fastest growing cohort of military veterans, representing about ten percent of a total population of 19 million.
Unfortunately, joining the military has proven to be more harmful than beneficial to many young women. Some who experience military sexual trauma (MST) have even been given "other than honorable" discharges which can deprive them of VA healthcare coverage when they return to civilian life.
A Fort Hood Scandal
McCarthy agreed there were "major flaws" in a command structure so "permissive of sexual harassment and sexual assault." The top officer in charge of the 55,000 troops at Fort Hood was removed and disciplined along with 20 others. But thanks to the tireless agitation of Vanessa Guillen's mother and her two sisters, Congress was also forced to confront the problem of local commanders covering up misconduct on their watch–a phenomena long criticized by U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), an advocate for military justice reform since 2011.
By May 2021, sixty Senators favored a bill co-sponsored by Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Joni Ernst (R-IA), a retired National Guard lieutenant general and past victim of domestic abuse. It would have transferred decision-making power about a wide range of cases, including some hate crimes, to a specially trained team of uniformed prosecutors operating outside the chain of command.
In the Senate, two military veterans on the Armed Services Committee, Rhode Island Democrat Jack Reed and Oklahoma Republican James Inhofe, fought to narrow the scope of the legislation, limiting it to sexual assault cases only. In I Am Vanesssa Guillen, Reed makes the factually challenged claim that "the basic instinct of the military is to protect your colleagues and subordinates, not to exploit them."
In December, 2021, after similar pushback from Joe Biden's Secretary of Defense, General Lloyd Austin, Congress passed a watered-down version of military justice reform. Although it did empower a new cadre of "special victim prosecutors" to handle cases involving sexual assault, rape, murder, and domestic violence, court-martial authority was left within the chain of command.
Hopefully, with or without an Academy Award, I Am Vanessa Guillen will keep the spotlight on members of Congress and the Biden Administration who fail to provide women in uniform with the additional legal protection they so obviously need.

The Bear never sleeps: The Position of the Serbian-Russian Humanitarian Centre in Niš
Vanja Dolapčev
Originally published by the EWB
In an attempt to prevent a potential humanitarian crisis threatening its population, Serbia has committed itself to intensive civilian cooperation with the Russian Federation. An inter-governmental agreement on cooperation in reaction to the emergency situationswas signed between the two countries in 2009, during the visit of former Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, to Belgrade. Article 4 of the Agreement points out that the Serbian territory should host a humanitarian centre, created jointly by both countries in the near future. Three years later, a new Serbian-Russian agreement was made to establish such a centre in the City of Niš. Although operating for more than six years already, the status and the activities of the Serbian-Russian Humanitarian Centre remains under the veil of mystery and doubted by many.
What does the Southern Serbia keep?
According to its website, the Centre is an "intergovernmental humanitarian non-profit organization registered according to the Serbian laws." The Serbian-Russian Humanitarian Centre (Centre) is responsible for the entire Balkan Peninsula and performs the following tasks: the prevention and elimination of emergency situations—including firefighting, and humanitarian assistance to people affected by emergencies—implementation of joint projects and programs, including those related to humanitarian demining, training in the field of prevention, and the elimination of emergency situations and testing and demonstration of firefighting and rescue technologies. However, the mandate of the Centre's employees is unclear in regards to the activities of the official public servants. Upon the statements made by the Centre's officials, the Centre currently employs 25 persons (5 of them are Russian, while 20 of them are Serbian nationals), acting as civilians (not as military staff).
After its establishment, the Centre reacted to fires in Serbia in 2013 by engaging its capacities, such as planes, helicopters, and personnel in the firefighting. In the springtime of 2014, the Centre provided evacuation support and humanitarian assistance to the people in Serbia affected by the great floods. Undeniably, help provided in this way was of a great importance in saving many lives. Nonetheless, doubts on the position and the activities of the Centre remain.
Inside the Bear Cave
There are uncertainties about the status of the Centre. A non-profit organization, such as the Centre should be a part of the official Registry of the Serbian Business Registry Agency, if registered according to Serbian law. However, although the Centre is described as an "organization registered according to the Serbian laws," no non-profit organization or business entity can be found in the registry under the name of "Serbian-Russian Humanitarian Centre" ("Srpsko-ruski humanitarni centar"). This raises suspicions regarding the Centre's registration. When conducting preliminary research on this matter, the author tried to contact the representatives of the Centre on giving their side of the story. Yet, there was no response until the moment of finalizing this article.
International actors are highly suspicious on the role of the Centre. Concerns were made by the representatives of the US Senate and Government (i.e. Department of State). This issue remains at the top of the agenda at the meetings between the United States (US) and Serbian officials. In 2016, the US state administration claimed that the Centre served as "a special centre for espionage or other nefarious activities." In 2017 there was even official visit by a US official to the Centre. Yet, suspicions remain among the US representatives about the Centre's activities and its goals. However, Russia constantly denies these claims and Sergey Lavrov vows that the Centre serves to assist in events of natural disasters.
The most disputable issue surrounding the Centre is the possibility of granting it and its staff diplomatic status. It is highly disputable whether one non-profit humanitarian organization can actually gain such a status. The US strongly opposes tendencies of granting this status to the Centre, as it would allow several Russian nationals (5 of them, at the moment, as it was presented above) to have diplomatic immunity. Therefore, the staff would have more freedom on moving and acting on Serbian territory, and the import of goods to the Centre would be left without strict custom inspections and taxes. After the visit mentioned above, the US Embassy in Serbia concluded there is no need for granting diplomatic status to the Centre. This status has yet to be approved by the hosting country, Serbia.
The Russian side points out that the Centre's diplomatic immunity would be similar to that which the soldiers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) currently have in Serbia, according to the agreement made in 2016 between the Serbian government and NATO. This agreement is reciprocal and it is related to the Serbian soldiers, as well. On the other hand, as Centre officials claim, its employees are civilians. Bearing this in mind, it is questionable whether the status asked for by the Russian side would be the same as one granted to the NATO soldiers.
Bear Traps ahead
Today, the Centre remains an active facility. In 2017 there was even announcement on purchasing new gear estimated at around 400.000,00 US dollars. Furthermore, the Centre was granted with brand new building in possession of the Ministry for Internal Affairs. It was said that it plans to establish equipment for migrants' stationary units in other parts of Serbia.
In 2018, the regionally based media portal, "Southern News" ("Južne vesti"), reported on the lack of space for Centre's activities in other Balkans countries. As most of Serbia's neighbours are members of NATO and/or the EU, there is no need for additional intervention by foreign powers in times of crisis. This was particularly the case in recent years. For example, the Centre did not take part in the firefighting in Greece during the great fires in the summer of 2018, or in Montenegro in 2017. Thus, the regional role of the Centre is not being fulfilled.
In addition, the EU has expressed concerns about the role of the Centre as well. As an EU candidate country, Serbia is obliged to align its legal system with the EU's. This also includes the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. In the latest European Commission (EC) Report on Serbia, published in 2018, it was said that "Serbia needs to ensure that the Centre does not duplicate the role of the Emergency Response Coordination Centre of the EC, and not contradict its membership in the Civil Protection Mechanism." Thus, it is highly questionable what the status of the Centre will be afterwards.
With the existence of the Centre, the Serbian government tries to push its so-called de jure foreign policy of "balancing between the East and the West" and "military neutrality." Yet, this kind of policy is unsustainable. As it was presented above, the pressure on choosing sides is becoming greater with each passing day. It is also expected to receive additional pressure, following the recent tensions on the brink of the war in the Azov Sea between the Ukraine and Russia. In such a situation, it is a bit hard to handle everything when the Bear is in the same room.


Running men, women and toddler!
We have been overwhelmed by the number of people who want to raise awareness of the Foundation and raise funds. Here are some of the fantastic folks who have ran, walked and cycled in aid of the Foundation. If you decide to get active to raise funds please send us a picture and we will post it here.

In the following Fragment, I want to add an <a4j:ajax> event to this component using like this:
    <rich:panel style="width:560px;">
        <f:facet name="header">
            <h:outputText value="Combobox "></h:outputText>

        <v2:inputText2 size="300px" baseId="baseId_txt" id="txt" label="Text:"
            value="#{testInput2.value}">
            <a4j:ajax event="change" render="dbgText"/>
        </v2:inputText2>

        <h:outputText value="#{testInput2.value}" id="dbgText"/>
    </rich:panel>
    <aj4:commandButton id="cmdOK" value="Ok"
        action="#{testInput2.cmdOk ()}" render="@form" />

When I call the Testpage, then I get the following Error:
testInput2.xhtml @23,48 <a4j:ajax> Error: enclosing composite component does not support event change

How can I solve the problem?
The Ajax-Event should trigger a UI-Bean-Methode.
Thanks
Ronald

A: You need to register it as client behavior in composite's interface.
<cc:interface>
    ...
    <cc:clientBehavior name="clientEvent" targets="inputId" event="valueChange" />
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
    ...
    <h:inputText id="inputId" ... />
</cc:implementation>

*

*name: The custom event name as you would specify in composite's client. Can be the same as the actual event name. Can be a customized one. It's all free to your choice.

*targets: The composite implementation relative client ID of the target component on which the actual client behavior should be attached.

*event: The actual event name which the actual client behavior should be listening. Note that the default event of EditableValueHolder components is valueChange and not change. You can for text input fields keep using change if you want.

With the above declaration example, you can use it in template client as below:
<my:composite ...>
    <f:ajax event="clientEvent" ... />
</my:composite>

After this, you'll face a second but unrelated problem which is already asked and answered here: <f:ajax render> not working via <composite:clientBehavior>.

Unrelated to the concrete problem, that composite can better be a tagfile. And, that HTML table markup is not Web 2.0.

The values she learned, such as service, honesty, respect, kindness and responsibility, "have contributed to the success in my career and the ability to build relationships with my peers, managers and, of course, clients," said Brandel, a Morgan Stanley Service Professional in Coeur D'alene, Idaho.
Brandel was among the 25 Morgan Stanley Wealth Management employees, many of them former Girl Scouts, who shared career and life advice with scouts in high school and college at the firm's virtual event, "From Girl Scouting to Financial Services: A Day in the Life at Morgan Stanley."
"We wanted to provide girls with the opportunity to see our business as a possibility for their future and eliminate the stereotype that careers in finance are just for men," said Jamie Luhrs, Executive Director and event co-host. "Our goal was to help them walk away with practical brand-building skills they can apply right now and carry with them throughout their academic and professional careers."

The Future of the SHEconomy
Here are seven lessons that Morgan Stanley employees shared:
1. Figure Out What Motivates You
"My first degree actually wasn't in finance. I went to school to be a designer. But, luckily, I found my way into a career that I love because I was motivated by connecting with people and helping them thrive at what they do. Listen to your skills and indicators, because you don't always end up where you thought you would go." —Hilary Sievers, Vice President, Field Leadership Development
2. Don't Go It Alone
"Success doesn't happen alone; better outcomes arise from collaborating and partnering with others on a common goal. Collaboration is at the center of what you do as a Girl Scout and stays relevant for the rest of your life." —Danielle Dimitriou, Executive Director, Wealth Management Investment Resources
3. Embrace the Challenge
"Challenge yourself professionally and personally. Life has many challenges and it's important to embrace them. Step out of your comfort zone and overcome them. Be open to trying new things because you never know what you're going to like as you get older." —Michelle Brandel, Service Professional
4. Be a Leader Where You Are
"Some people think that leadership is something you have to achieve in the future, but you can be a leader right now, where you are. Some of the world's most impactful leaders aren't yet 25 years old. It's really about your values. Ask yourselves, what can I do, where I am now, to drive what is right? If you do this and are willing to learn, stay humble and help others, then you are, by definition, a leader and will create paths for others. Feel confident that you already have that ability to lead within you, as you go forward in your life's journey." —Juneisha Burrowes, Executive Director, Risk Management
5. 'Own Your Story'
"If you're able to know your story and own it—who you are and where you want to go—that's your ticket. Think about where you are, where you want to be and how you're going to get there, and don't forget to ask for feedback along the way." —Trevor Hambright, Talent Management, Human Resources
"When I was growing up, I defined success as wanting to be a doctor. I had a plan for when I would get married or what I would do in the future… but life doesn't always go as planned. Since then, I've had eight different jobs in five different countries and, most recently, found my passion in helping people through my work as a Financial Advisor."—Thien Le, Financial Advisor
7. Invest in Yourself
"It's about investing in yourself, figuring out what building blocks you need to have in place to be successful. For me, it's about having a coach and talking to the people around me to understand how I'm coming across. I'm constantly challenging myself to retool and do things differently, which isn't always easy. Use that anxious feeling as energy, as fuel, to push through."—Yvette Wynn, First Vice President, Private Banking Group
At Morgan Stanley, our culture is about more than the work we do. It's about the stories of our employees and the experiences they bring to our firm and the communities we serve. Our firm is committed to helping empower girls to take control of their financial lives and give them the skills they need to become business leaders, owners and investors.

Instant buying (and selling, if you don't want to hodl) of Bitcoin is now available to most Cash App customers.
Square Cash and LINE, two popular mobile apps, have announced that they will support the buying and selling of cryptocurrency on their platforms.
With more players entering the crypto businesses for making it easy for users to trade in cryptos and at a reduced cost, the competition is sure to get intense in the coming days and exchanges which are now sitting on huge cash moolah will have a run-for-their-money in the coming times.
Last week, stock-trading app Robinhood said it would roll out free Bitcoin and etherum trading in five states.
The inclusion of Bitcon in the Square Cash application will indirectly encourage merchants to accept Bitcoin as payment, since Square operates on a PoS (Point of Sale) network. There's no limit to the number of Bitcoins users can sell.
"We support Bitcoin because we see it as a long-term path towards greater financial access for all". One Bitcoin now trades for about $10,000. CEO Jack Dorsey says the feature is "the first step" to making bitcoin more widely accessible, so the team also built a beginner's manual for bitcoin to further the effort. "The upside could be significant if cryptocurrencies become more mainstream".
Square Cash beat Apple Pay Cash to enabling sending money over iMessage and using a virtual debit card over Apple Pay in stores and in apps.
Robinhood Crypto will also not initially be available in NY, which is one of the toughest states for cryptocurrency trading since it requires a BitLicense. "Through our pilot, we've learned a great deal about how we can make this experience faster and easier and we're excited to expand its availability".
U.S. press reports stated that if confirmed, it would mark the second unsuccessful test of the Raytheon missile in the past year. Missile Defense Agency spokesman Mark Wright declined to comment on the outcome of the test.
Shares in Boeing rose nearly 5 per cent to reach a record for the company after reporting positive quarterly results. The S&P 500 posted 34 new 52-week highs and 3 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 82 new highs and 48 new lows.
The ANC has been discussing whether to tell Zuma, whose presidency has been tainted by corruption allegations, to resign. All the DA can do is wait for members of the ANC to instigate a motion and they can then join hands to remove Zuma.
TMC candidate Sajda Ahmed trounced Anupam Mallick of BJP by over 4.74 lakh votes in Uluberia Lok Sabha seat in Howrah district. He claimed the outcome of the bypolls showed that the Congress' vote share has risen by "30 per cent".
Heart disease takes the life of one in three women each year and kills more than all forms of cancer combined. Volunteers with the organization say their ultimate goal is to let people know about the silent killer.
Preliminary information indicated she was 12, said Steve Zipperman, chief of the Los Angeles Unified School District police force. The middle school is located on the Belmont High School campus and has about 365 students in grades six through eight.
He predicts sales from cryptocurrency mining chips will account for less than one per cent of Samsung's total revenue this year. Mining is a process of solving mathematically complex problems that serve to verify the transactions of cryptocurrency coins.

Dik Dik ist eine italienische Beatband aus Mailand, die 1965 gegründet wurde.

Bandgeschichte
Ende der 1950er-Jahre gründeten die Klassenkameraden Pietro Montalbetti, Erminio Salvaderi und Giancarlo Sbriziolo die Rock-'n'-Roll-Gruppe Dreamers. 1962 stießen die Musiker Sergio Panno und Mario Totaro dazu und die Gruppe benannte sich in Squali ("Haie") um. Erst 1965, mit dem ersten Plattenvertrag beim Label Ricordi und auf dem Höhepunkt der Beatwelle in Italien, entschied man sich für den endgültigen Namen Dik Dik (nach den Dikdiks, einer Gattung Zwergantilopen). Die Debütsingle der Gruppe war 1-2-3 (Cover eines Liedes von Len Barry), der Durchbruch gelang 1966 mit der nächsten Single Sognando la California (Cover von California Dreamin' der The Mamas and the Papas).

1967 coverte Dik Dik mit Senza luce den Hit A Whiter Shade of Pale von Procol Harum und erreichte die Spitze der italienischen Singlecharts. Neben derlei Coverversionen internationaler Erfolge arbeitet die Gruppe auch mit dem Songwriterduo aus Mogol und Lucio Battisti zusammen, beispielsweise 1967 in der Single Il vento. Beim Sanremo-Festival 1969 präsentierte die Gruppe zusammen mit Rita Pavone das Lied Zucchero und erreichte im Finale den 13. Platz. Mit der folgenden Single Il primo giorno di primavera gelang Dik Dik wieder ein Hit. Es folgten zwei weitere Sanremo-Teilnahmen (1970 mit Io mi fermo qui und 1971 mit Ninna nanna) und noch einige kleinere Hits, darunter das Wight-Is-Wight-Cover L'isola di Wight (1970) und Vendo casa von Battisti/Mogol.

Mit Viaggio di un poeta gelang der Gruppe 1972 noch ein Nummer-eins-Hit. In diesem Jahr veröffentlichte Dik Dik auch das Album Suite per una donna assolutamente relativa, ein für sie ungewöhnlicher Exkurs in den Progressive Rock; es blieb jedoch weitestgehend unbeachtet. Nach einigen weiteren Veröffentlichungen (darunter die Single Help Me, inspiriert von David Bowies Space Oddity) trennte sich die Gruppe vom Label Ricordi und 1974 verließen Sergio Panno und Mario Totaro die Band. 1976 gelang der letzte Charterfolg mit der Single Volando (das gleichnamige Album erschien beim Label Ri-Fi), 1978 stieg auch Gründungsmitglied Giancarlo Sbriziolo vorläufig aus. Im Rahmen mehrerer Besetzungswechsel wurde der Sound der Gruppe härter.

Die Band veröffentlichte in den folgenden Jahren bei wechselnden Labels verschiedene Alben und trat, in der ursprünglichen Dreierbesetzung aus Montalbetti, Salvaderi und Sbriziolo, vor allem im Rahmen von 60er-Jahre-Revivals in Erscheinung. 1985 nahm sie am Benefizprojekt MusicaItalia per l'Etiopia teil. Zusammen mit Maurizio Vandelli (Equipe 84) und den Camaleonti ging Dik Dik 1993 mit Come passa il tempo noch einmal beim Sanremo-Festival ins Rennen. Das Lied gelangte zwar nicht ins Finale, erreichte jedoch anschließend die Singlecharts. 2000 versammelte die Gruppe im Album Sogno Beat Beat-Klassiker aus den 60er-Jahren.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals through land rights (tenure security) for women
More than 75% of the Tanzanian depend on land as the means of livelihood, and majority of these are women leaving in rural areas where agriculture and pastoralism is the main economic activity. However, with an increasing demand on land for investment and other "development" activities, the pressure leaves rural communities with uncertainty of their tenure security. These uncertainties coupled with some of the culture and traditions discriminating against women doubles the fear among the female population, especially those in rural areas.
The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda signed by world leaders all over the world aims to create a more just future. The most important driver for the achievement of the agenda are community members and their ability to access, own, make decisions, and control natural resources including land and its produce for their own benefit and generations to come. For a country like Tanzania with majority of its citizens depending on land, secured tenure rights for its people is the most important channel to achieving the SDGs.

The High Court has ruled a consultant surgeon is entitled to an injunction preventing a private clinic from withdrawing his admission and operating privileges, writes Ann O'Loughlin.
Ms Justice Deidre Murphy found Professor William P Joyce, a consultant colorectal and vascular surgeon was entitled to orders continuing an injunction he obtained restraining Galway Clinic, Doughiska Ltd from withdrawing his admission and operating privileges at the facility.
Earlier this year Prof. Joyce obtained a temporary injunction against it, after the private hospital informed him in February his practising privileges were to be terminated from the end of May 2017.
The clinic , which sought to have the injunction discharged, said it withdrew the privileges over alleged patient safety concerns following an incident on July 26th 2016.
A review was conducted by an External Review Committee which found the professor had intended to administer an anesthetic while he was treating patients attending at the clinic.
Only anaesthetists are permitted to administer the drug. Prof Joyce strongly denied the accusation, or that he represented a risk to patient safety.
After the finding was made against the Professor, who has been practising at the clinic since 2004, the clinic decided to withdraw his privileges.
The injunction is to remain in place until the dispute between him and the Clinic has been determined by the High Court.
Giving judgment the Judge said she was satisfied that Prof Joyce had raised a fair issue to be tried on the grounds that fair procedures had not been carried out by the clinic after a complaint was made following the incident on July 26th.
While it was appropriate that an external investigation into the allegation be conducted the Judge said the manner in which that process was conducted "left much to be desired."
The Judge said the investigation was carried out by skilled physicians, but they were "not investigators." The deficiencies in the investigation the judge continued were manifest.
One prominent witness to the event on July 26th had been accredited by the investigators by saying something the witness later denied saying, the Judge said.
In addition Prof Joyce was interviewed by the external investigators before other witnesses were. This denied the Prof Joyce the chance to rebut the allegations against him.
The judge also noted that prior to the incident of July 26th there had been difficulties between Prof Joyce and management over issues concerning alleged misdiagnosis at the clinic's pathology department.
The Judge also said that during the initial internal investigation process, before the external committee was formed, there had been an element of prejudging the complaint against Prof Joyce.
The judge said she was sceptical of allegations concerning issues of patient safety that had been raised by the clinic during the course of proceedings.
Any such matter should be reported to the medical council, the Judge said adding that Prof Joyce had been at the clinic for 13 years and had carried out ten of thousands of procedures without incident. He also had the support of some 32 colleagues, the Judge added.
The Judge also found damages would not be an adequate remedy given the very serious reputational damage Prof Joyce would have suffered by the loss of privileges, the Judge said.
The balance of convenience also favoured the granting of the injunction, the Judge added. There may be difficultiess between some staff at the clinic and Prof Joyce the judge said, but there seemed to be plenty who were happy to work with him.
The judge adjourned the matter to a date later this month.

Russian Imperial Porcelain Palace Vase with Tsarist Provenance
This unique porcelain krater vase in Neoclassical style, circa 1873, was made by the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Width 10 1/2 in. (27 cm). Height 12 in. (30 cm).
Almost certainly, the vase was made for the wedding of the daughter of Tsar Alexander II, Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna (1853-1920) and Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The wedding took place on January 23, 1874 at the Winter Palace, in St. Petersburg.
This is a very rare example of a ceremonial vase bearing the State Coat of Arms – the Imperial double headed eagle.
The front is painted with two-tone gold Russian Imperial eagle. The back is decorated with Imperial monogram 'MA' placed within a laurel wreath.
Shaped handles are embellished with laurel garlands.
Acanthus leaves on contrasting gold ground decorate the base and rim of the vase. The vase is further embellished with two-tone gold classical laurel leaves.
Impressed Cyrillic characters around the metal screw are first letters of sculptor's name 'Vas.' (apparently for Vasily) and 'SH'.
Condition: The vase has an expertly repaired crack which goes from the center of the bottom, where the metal screw is, up to one of the handles across a laurel garland into the field (on the back) towards the monogram, crossing the wreath in its lower part (faint trace is still visible), and down to the gilt band. The repaired hairline crack is visible from the inside of the vase.
The vase is marked with a green factory mark in the form of Alexander II cipher and numeral '28' on the foot.

In the spirit of movements across the country against corporate power, local organizers, activists, and occupiers are calling for an occupation of the Developing Unconventional Gas conference in Pittsburgh.
On November 15th, Halliburton is hosting a reception for the rest of the oil and gas industry to kick off the Developing Unconventional Gas conference. At 5:15pm, we will march from Occupy Pittsburgh to the David Lawrence Convention Center and kick off our occupation of the conference with a people's reception for economic and environmental justice.
The gas industry is poisoning our air and water and hijacking our so-called democracy. They say they are bringing economic opportunity but all we see is exploitation. Stand with us to resist corporate power – join the people's reception or organize your own creative action to disrupt the conference!

Textbook Suites plans 172-unit student housing project at Bronson and Cambridge
CNGRP
Rendering of the proposed Textbook Suites student housing project on Bronson Ave. near Carleton University
A developer is proposing to construct a 12-storey student housing development on Bronson Ave. Near Carleton University.
Textbook Suites plans to build 172 apartments, including bachelor, one, two and three bedroom units at 774 Bronson Ave.
The 3,549 sq. m. lot has frontage on both Bronson and Cambridge St.
Earlier, city council approved Textbook's plan for two 26-storey towers at 256 Rideau St. And 211 Besserer St., with 275 units for students primarily at the University of Ottawa.
There will be setbacks in the design and 38 parking spaces, including 21 visitor spots. This is less parking than usual for an apartment building, but Textbook has provided studies showing students generally less often have cars, and the building will be near transit routes.
Textbook suites is based in Concord, ON, and the developer has two co-presidents, Walter Thompson and John Davies. They co-founded Textbook's predecessor company, GenerX Urban Development Corporation in 1995.
Meanwhile, a site immediately to the north at 770 Bronson. Ave., a vacant former automobile repair garage is also proposed to be redeveloped. The city's planning committee was to consider both projects on Jan. 24.
Further down Bronson, the current Ottawa Construction Association (OCA) headquarters at 196 Bronson has been sold to Toronto-based Lamb Development Corp. for a condo development. The OCA expects to announce its move to a new location at its annual general meeting in February; there is no indication yet when Lamb will begin construction of the condo project there.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift è un film del 2006 diretto da Justin Lin. È il terzo capitolo della saga Fast & Furious: sequel e al tempo stesso spin-off. Sebbene sia uscito nel 2006, l'ordine temporale della serie vuole che gli eventi di Tokyo Drift siano accaduti dopo Fast & Furious 6, del 2013.

Trama
Nel 2013, ad Oro Valley in Arizona, un ragazzo di nome Sean Boswell, cerca di affermarsi come pilota nelle corse automobilistiche clandestine. Sebbene le corse gli forniscano una temporanea fuga dall'infelice situazione familiare e dal mondo superficiale che lo circonda, hanno anche la non trascurabile conseguenza di renderlo decisamente antipatico alle autorità locali. Dopo l'ennesima corsa illegale, stavolta in un cantiere, per evitargli di finire in riformatorio la madre lo spedisce in Giappone da suo padre, un maggiore dell'esercito in carriera di stanza a Tokyo. Etichettato come gaijin (straniero) ed emarginato poiché non conosce una parola di giapponese, non impiega molto a trovare un nuovo amico in un ragazzo americano, Twinkie, che lo introduce nel mondo sotterraneo delle gare di drifting.

Sean nota subito Neela, una delle ragazze più attraenti (e straniera come lui), e come suo solito attacca bottone; la ragazza è però fidanzata con Takashi, soprannominato "D.K." (Drift King), un campione della guida di traverso con agganci nella Yakuza in quanto nipote di un potente boss locale. Sean provoca D.K. e viene da questi sfidato a una gara di drifting, ma perde la corsa e distrugge l'auto che gli era stata prestata da Han Lue, un socio di D.K. (che nei film successivi si scoprirà essere un ex membro del team di Dominic Toretto). Han usa la sua ricchezza per comprare ed elaborare auto sportive, divertirsi con le ragazze e mandare avanti il suo bellissimo garage, che è anche il punto di ritrovo dei suoi amici (tra cui c'è anche Twinkie).

Sean è in debito con Han dopo avergli distrutto l'auto per cui accetta di lavorare per lui a titolo di risarcimento e viene di conseguenza addestrato nell'arte del drifting a bordo di un'auto adeguata, una Mitsubushi Lancer EVO VIII. L'accordo è propiziato da Lue che, sottraendo di nascosto parte dei profitti delle corse clandestine e dell'usura di Takashi, ha bisogno di distrarlo e attirare la sua attenzione su qualcun altro. Sean è la persona ideale  visto che al primo incontro con D.K. ha flirtato con la sua ragazza Neela, ci ha litigato facendo emergere tutta la sua arroganza e lo ha sfidato in una corsa: lo stesso Han lo definisce "la kryptonite di D.K.".

Dopo un lungo allenamento nell'area portuale e su strade di montagna, Sean diventa un esperto del drifting, tanto da battere il migliore amico di D.K., Morimoto. Ormai diventato una star di quel mondo si allontana sempre di più dal padre che, per rinsaldare i loro rapporti, gli mostra la scocca di una vecchia Ford Mustang che sta sistemando in garage lasciandogli intendere che potrebbero lavorarci insieme. Nel frattempo, in seguito all'avvicinamento di Neela a Sean, D.K. la lascia e lei si rifugia da Sean.

La situazione, apparentemente tranquilla, precipita quando l'anziano boss Kamata, zio di Takashi, si rende contro della truffa di Han ai danni di suo nipote e va nel suo locale per avvisarlo e rimproverarlo per la sua ingenuità: D.K. vuole vendicarsi immediatamente e corre da Han che però, con l'aiuto degli amici, riesce a scappare a bordo della sua Mazda RX-7 Veilside Fortune. Durante l'inseguimento per le strade della città viene però coinvolto in un incidente stradale e la sua auto si ribalta in seguito all'impatto con un'altra automobile, prendendo fuoco. Il ragazzo rimane intrappolato nel rogo e proprio quando Sean sta cercando di avvicinarsi per aiutarlo ad uscire dalle lamiere, la Mazda esplode non lasciandogli scampo.

Dopo questo avvenimento, i componenti della compagnia di Han decidono di lasciare la città per paura di ritorsioni da parte della Yakuza, mentre Neela viene costretta ad abbandonare Sean e a tornare con D.K.. Una volta recuperati i soldi sporchi che Han aveva sottratto di nascosto a Takashi (nascosti dentro l'impianto stereo dell'auto di Twinkie), Sean decide di restituirli al legittimo proprietario Kamata, nella speranza che metta a tacere la cosa e lasci in pace tutti. Il boss Kamata è però molto adirato, per una questione d'onore non può fare finta che non sia successo nulla. Sean propone allora una soluzione pacifica che non comporti una guerra aperta, ossia una corsa automobilistica tra lui e il nipote. Convinto di poterlo battere nuovamente, D.K. accetta la sfida che organizza di proposito sulla strada di montagna dove si allena e che conosce alla perfezione; nonostante le scorrettezze dell'avversario, Sean riesce a vincere la gara e Kamata, lealmente, esilia dalla città D.K. proclamando Sean il nuovo "re" del drift. La sua relazione con Neela può finalmente diventare realtà nella cornice del mondo delle corse di drift di Tokyo assieme ai suoi amici.

Durante una serata di festa al raduno che si tiene nel solito parcheggio sotterraneo, Sean si sta divertendo con Neela quando Twinkie lo chiama dicendo che c'è un pilota che vuole correre con lui: questa persona è un caro amico di Han che non è ancora stato battuto da nessuno in tutta l'Asia. Sean accetta e si trova davanti Dominic Toretto a bordo di una Plymouth Road Runner del 1970, vinta proprio in una sfida contro Han. I due si parlano amichevolmente e infine Neela dà il via alla corsa.

Curiosità
 Nella scena che si svolge nel garage di Han si notano alcuni moduli di "Capsule Hotel" (tipologia di albergo prettamente giapponese) usati come zona relax dai ragazzi della compagnia.
 L'ambientazione di questo capitolo della saga di "Fast & Furious" è differente da quella dei film precedenti (e anche successivi) e verosimilmente è stata influenzata dall'arrivo in America del campionato giapponese di drifting, D1GP, la cui prima esibizione risale al 2003, anno di proiezione nei cinema di 2 Fast 2 Furious. Questa disciplina ha avuto subito successo e seguito di pubblico, tanto che sempre nel 2003 è stato creato il campionato Americano "Formula D", gemellato con quello giapponese, che esiste tuttora.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift è stato il terzo film ad essere distribuito, ma è ambientato dopo Fast & Furious 6 il che significa che gli eventi sono ambientati nel 2013, molti anni dopo l'inizio della saga, cosa che farebbe di Dom una persona di 38 anni, età effettiva di Vin Diesel ai tempi delle riprese del film.

Produzione

Cast
Il film differisce dagli altri capitoli della serie (sia precedenti che successivi) per un cast quasi interamente rinnovato e per un'ambientazione totalmente diversa (Tokyo, in Giappone). Per il ruolo di Sean Boswell, il protagonista, era stato inizialmente scelto Channing Tatum, ma il suo provino andò male. In seguito la parte fu affidata a Lucas Black.

Cameo
Nel film compare Vin Diesel che riprende il suo ruolo di Dominic Toretto (trovatosi lì per motivi raccontati in Fast & Furious 7), interpretato in Fast and Furious.

Il pioniere del drift Keiichi Tsuchiya fa un'apparizione nel ruolo di un pescatore, durante la scena in cui Sean si allena a derapare nel porto, commentando la scarsa abilità del ragazzo. Accanto a lui compare Kazutoshi Wadakura produttore stesso del film Tokyo Drift assieme a moltissimi altri film come Shin Godzilla e Wolverine - L'immortale.

Anche un altro pilota di drift, Rhys Millen, appare nel film, come uno dei passeggeri del volo dagli Stati Uniti al Giappone.

Rapporto con gli altri capitoli della serie
La presenza di Han in Fast & Furious - Solo parti originali, Fast & Furious 5 e Fast & Furious 6 (nel primo solo una piccola apparizione, negli altri due con un ruolo da protagonista) fanno capire che Tokyo Drift è collocato dopo il sesto capitolo della serie, infatti dopo l'incidente alla sua ragazza in Fast & Furious 6 Han decide di recarsi in Giappone essendo suo desiderio da tempo, come aveva deciso la coppia pochi giorni prima.

Alla fine del sesto film viene riproposta la scena della morte di Han da una prospettiva del tutto nuova e rivelatrice che permette di ricollegare la trama della serie anche a Tokyo Drift (che a parte il cameo di Vin Diesel negli ultimi secondi della pellicola appariva completamente avulso dalla saga): Han perde la vita nell'incidente non per caso ma perché speronato di proposito dal fratello di Owen Shaw. Deckard Shaw, inoltre, lascia vicino alla vettura di Han in fiamme una collana appartenuta alla moglie di Dom (protagonista degli altri capitoli) e telefona a quest'ultimo, avvisandolo che presto sentirà parlare di lui anche se ancora non si conoscono e parallelamente, gli fa saltare in aria la casa. Nel sesto film (nella solita scena finale) scopriamo che "l'uomo misterioso" non è altro che l'attore Jason Statham che interpreta in un breve cameo il fratello del "cattivo" nel settimo film della serie.

Nell'ultima scena di Tokyo Drift compare proprio Dominic Toretto, arrivato in Giappone dopo la tragica telefonata, in Fast & Furious 7 parla privatamente con Sean Boswell, che gli consegna alcuni oggetti trovati vicino ai rottami della Mazda RX-7, l'auto di Han.

Subject: 6th Graders
Insight into the minds of 6th graders: The following were answers provided by 6th graders during a history test. Watch the spelling! Some of the best in humor is in the misspelling....
1.. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
2.. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the Ten Commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
3.. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.
4.. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.
5.. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
6.. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java.
7.. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be king. Dying, he gasped out
"Tee hee, Brutus."
8.. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw.
9.. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen," As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted, "Hurrah!"
10. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Guttenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.
11. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies and hysterectomies all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
12. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote." The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained."
13. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
14.. Abraham Lincoln became Americas greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by on of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
15.. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large.
16.. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
17.. The nineteenth century was a time of great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of hundred men. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the "Organ of the Species." Madman Curie discovered the radio. And Karl Marx became the first of the Marx Brothers.

Raymond Gauge extracted the following Battle Mountain Course data from the NEDS web site.
He derived data for a 5 mile length, starting at the racer launch parking lot.. The start, and associated parking lot, are easy to locate in the NEDS site satellite/aerial photos. He also extracted a 3d topological image of the entire course from the same data source, and then collected the course slope data and put it into an Excel spreadsheet.
This is all significant because the IHPVA rule for speed records states that the slope of the entire course must not be more the 2/3 percent downhill overall. The rule with this slope is historical, and all top speed records have been made with it in mind since the 1980s when many top speed runs were performed at an California IHPVA airport venue with a slope of 0.66 percent.

What does this deal with the European Union mean for the UK economy?
To estimate the economic value of this eleventh-hour free trade deal between the UK government and the European Union, we need to consider what would have happened in its absence.
Whatever the prime minister says, a failure to reach a free trade deal with the European Union would not have been "more than satisfactory" for UK businesses.
Make no mistake: a Brexit deal matters a lot for the UK economy in the immediate term.
It means a host of UK industries – from farmers to fishermen to car manufacturers – will not face tariffs, some punitively high, on their copious exports to the European Union from the end of the month.
Yes, disruption is still coming on 31 December, as hauliers have been arguing for months, when we, in effect, leave the customs union and single market.
From that instant, the UK will officially be a "third country" to the EU – and that status brings checks and paperwork for traders at the border, just as surely as Santa brings presents when he sets out on his sleigh on Christmas Eve.
But with a free trade deal, the UK and continental authorities are much more likely to cooperate on smoothing out these new frictions.
That means less likelihood of even larger queues of lorries in Kent, heading into the Channel Tunnel and the ferries, than we have seen this week because of the French ban on accompanied freight. And that means less chance of continental hauliers avoiding Britain and disruption, as a result, to the supply of foods and medicines into the UK.
Such a currency collapse would have pushed up UK import prices, just as the slump in sterling on the night of the referendum did.
A deal will also spare British shoppers from substantial jumps in the prices of groceries from Europe that they could have otherwise expected if the UK had imposed its new tariff regime on all those tens of billions of pounds of imports from the EU.
The relief and goodwill resulting from a free trade deal mean cooperation on vexed and important questions on data transfers and financial regulations – vital for our cross-border services firms – is also much more likely.
How much monetary damage would a no-deal Brexit have added up to?
The Office for Budget Responsibility estimated a no-deal outcome would have knocked 2 per cent off UK GDP growth in 2021, or around £40bn.
That would have significantly deepened the likely recession resulting from a return to lockdown.
Unemployment, according to the best guess of the OBR, would have spiked higher (by around 300,000) than it is already set too. Public borrowing would be up by a further £12bn.
A free trade deal really does matter.
Constitutional damage has been avoided too. A free trade deal does not mean the future of the United Kingdom is secure – but it's sobering to contemplate what a no-deal Brexit would have meant for the union, for the long-term place of Scotland and Northern Ireland in it.
Yet a free trade deal with the EU, it is vital to remember, does not mean economic pain has been avoided in the longer term.
This is very far from the status quo. What we are getting is what four years ago would have been classified as a granite-hard Brexit – and this will hit the UK economy hard in the medium and long term.
Leaving the EU's single market and the customs union, according to every credible piece of analysis, creates significantly higher trade barriers with the EU, easily our largest trading partner, and reduces trade far more than otherwise.
This new arrangement will make it harder for our services firms – a big and growing part of our exports – to trade with the EU.
Modelling suggests lower growth as a result, with the average of studies indicating a hit to GDP of around 4 per cent.
In today's money that's a hit to our national economic activity of around £80bn, or around £1,200 for every person alive in the UK.
So as British businesses and households breathe a sigh of relief at an economic no-deal disaster averted it's also important to note how success has been defined inexorably downwards over the past two years.
This is – it bears repeating – the thinnest free trade deal with the European Union that would have been imaginable on the morning after the Brexit referendum on 24 June 2016.
And it will do serious long-term damage to the UK economy relative to other forms of Brexit that might have been adopted.
If it feels like a victory that's really an indication of how recklessly close to the cliff edge politicians dragged the economy and our living standards with it.
