Racist, Intolerant, Hate - Oh, my!!!
Just when you begin to hope that racism, hate, and intolerance are beginning to dwindle, the Terrible Trio sneak back into the limelight to remind everyone that people - for all our beauty, knowledge, and love - have serious potential for ugliness.
In the news, Cliven Bundy, the cattle rancher from Nevada who illegally grazes his cattle on federal land, changed from local hero to zero when he wondered if (to paraphrase him) black people were better off as slaves. To make matters worse, Mr. Bundy responded to criticism by stating (and I have to quote this):
If I call — if I say negro or black boy or um um uh slave, I'm not, uh, I'm not, uh, if those people cannot take those kind of words and, and not be offensive, then Martin Luther King hasn't got his job done yet. They should be to able to, I should be able to say those things and not offend anybody. I didn't mean to offend them.
Then we have Donald Sterling, the man who has left behind decades worth of ugliness. A decent summary of some of his quotes can be found on this website. Basically, Sterling is a divorce lawyer who became a billionaire as a slum lord in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills and as the owner of the L.A. Clippers. In 2009, Sterling settled a law suit with the government to the tune of $2.73 million (plus another $4.9 million in attorney fees and costs), a suit based on his racially discriminating rental practices. Last month, TMZ broadcast a conversation where Sterling told his girlfriend that she could have sex with black people, so long as she doesn't publicly associate with them. The conversation began because his girlfriend posted a picture of her standing with Magic Johnson. Now, the NBA banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. Not that the fines matter - either one - because the man is a billionaire. A few million doesn't really effect his bottom line.
Moving to the Internet, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) created an interactive hate map, a widget that lets you click on one of the states to see a list of hate organizations registered in the state. Let me clarify this, the organizations are registered with the state as businesses or non-profits, not registered as hate organizations. But I suppose all those chapters of the Klu Klux Klan don't really need to register for people to know it promotes hate.
Yet it's not the slew of KKK chapters that is bothersome. It's the depth of hate out there, the number of groups of people bound together not by love or general social obligations, but by hate. The SPLC has to list the ideologies on separate pages because there are so many out there. From anti-immigration and anti-LGBT, to several forms of white supremacists to black separatists to all sorts of religious bigots- including the Holy Church of Odin -the SPLC tracks formalized ideologies that exist to hate nearly anything about anybody.
Sadly, even our government has legalized racism and intolerance. Beginning with the Constitution, Article 4, clause 3:
No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.
The federal government then passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 to create the legal framework and mechanisms for slave-catchers. When some of the free states tried to ignore and/or undermine the federal government's stance on slavery, the government then passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
Throughout history, the federal government legalized and acted in racial discrimination. Their actions include:
Stealing over 25 million acres of good land from the Native Americans after forcing them to move to less-desirable lands,
Taxing the blacks while denying them their rights,
Purposely segregating non-whites from white communities,
Using "separate but equal" to legally justify discrimination,
Putting American citizens of Japanese-descent in concentration camps during World War 2,
Putting American citizens and legal immigrants of Arabic-descent in jail after 9/11,
Targeting Hispanic people for illegal search and seizures in the name of the "War of Drugs",
Targeting black people for, well, everything,
Targeting Mosques and Arab people because of wars happening on another continent,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
To be honest, this list only scratches the surface of the injustices done on a federal level, completely ignoring the racism and intolerance at the state and local level. (I'm looking at you, Arizona.)
We live in an unprecedented time in history. The majority of people don't need to grow or hunt their own food. We have time to debate philosophy, to ponder the meaning of life, to artistically express ourselves. Technological advancements allow us to first define the box and then think outside of it. Medical advancements allow us to live well beyond the fifty-year mark, with a good quality of life for the majority of the time. With an abundance of food, clothing, shelter, and energy, you would think that people would be happy, celebrate their existence. Instead, people find reasons to be suspicious of others, to fear the "evil stranger", to cast aspersions on others based on tiny mutations in DNA.
So what can anyone do about this?
Be nice. That's it, no fancy speeches or philosophical soliloquies.
Just be nice. If someone does something that offends your sensibilities, be nice and don't be around that person. If someone marries someone and you don't like the marriage, be nice and don't socialize with them. But in the end, being nice and tolerating everyone is the only real choice we have if we want a better society.
The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

Paytm's payment gateway business records 750M monthly transactions
Paytm on Monday announced that its payment gateway business registered over 750 million monthly transactions, having already surpassed volumes to pre-COVID levels.
According to a statement, its "All-in-One Payment Gateway" saw increased adoption of online payments from segments, including BFSI, retail and D2C ecommerce, utilities, edtech, food delivery, digital entertainment, gaming, etc.
The fintech unicorn claimed the higher adoption was on the back of Paytm and Paytm Payments Bank-issued instruments, including Paytm Wallet, Paytm PostPaid, Paytm Gift Vouchers, and Loyalty Points, besides its standard payment methods such as UPI, net banking, and debit and credit card transactions.
Praveen Sharma, Senior Vice President at Paytm, said, "Our systems have the capacity to manage up to 2,500 transactions per second, which ensure stability when our enterprise merchants see spikes during special events and sales. We will continue to launch new solutions that make business processes simpler, flexible, and more efficient."
According to Paytm, the growth of its payment gateway business is also fuelled by its free-of-cost UPI and Rupay transactions for online businesses, SMBs, and large enterprises.
As per a RedSeer report on digital payments in India, Paytm's All-in-One Paytm Gateway is the fastest-growing payment gateway with over 42 percent market share. It is the leader in the -payment gateway segment, having built strong traction in the enterprise business.
The Paytm All-in-One Paytm Gateway offers industry-leading success rates, uptime, and transaction processing capacity, the company claimed. It also provides developer-friendly, customisable SDKs, and technology support to build highly customised user interfaces that enhance the overall payment experience for end customers.
Similarly, Paytm Payout has processed over Rs 1,660 crore of the monthly transactions, becoming the most reliable platform for companies to make regular payments to a large number of vendors, salaries, and food allowance to employees, rewards or instant refunds to their customers, and even other expenses like utility bills for multiple offices.

The National Assembly, a gathering of political and social forces dedicated to democracy in Russia, has approved its charter (below). Some 700 delegates met in Moscow on May 17th, representing 66 Russian regions and 85 organizations.
During the meeting, the group chose a board consisting of 50 delegates, representing a majority of the organizations present, and also formed nine committees targeted at various issues facing Russia. The group also selected a presidium of nine individuals, including Garry Kasparov and economist Andrei Illarionov.
We, social and political activists, hereby declare the establishment of the National Assembly of the Russian Federation. The National Assembly is being created for the defense of civil freedoms, political rights, the health and life of Russian citizens, the restoration of legal order, political democracy and representation of the people in Russia. We are united in our discontentment with the course of the current political regime, which is leading the country to a national catastrophe. We are united in our concern for the present and future of Russia. We are aware of the necessity to combine our efforts for the sake of the freedom and prosperity of our homeland.
The organs of state power, formed through the results of the December 2nd 2007 and March 2nd 2008 elections, were not elected by a majority of Russian citizens in free elections, do not represent the interests of this majority, and are therefore illegitimate. These organs of power do not have a right to work in the name of the citizens of Russia and to apply heavy-handed force against the country's subjects.
The moral duty of Russian citizens concerned with the fate of their homeland – [is to] prepare the circumstances for restoring free political competition, [and the] formation of bodies of popular authority and representation that carry out the will of the citizens of Russia. The National Assembly will gather and interpret proposals for the restoration of political democracy in Russia, will work out a strategy for this renewal and will put [the strategy] forward for discussion by the citizens of Russia.
Our conscience and moral obligation before our homeland summons us to the establishment of the National Assembly.
Independent from our personal beliefs, we do not recognize the right of the state to interfere in the personal lives of its citizens, to limit their freedom of speech, assembly, mobility, choice of where to reside, [or] to determine their way of thinking or language that they speak.
Among us are people of different denominations and atheists, and in our affairs we follow our faith and our own values. However, we do not recognize the right of the state to participate in [either] religious or anti-religious activities, [or] to encourage or impede the affiliation of any faith.
However our political fortunes may end up from here on in, from the moment of the National Assembly's convocation, we do not consider it possible for ourselves to use violence or the threat of force [or] the restriction of freedom of speech and assembly as an instrument to fight with opponents on matters of politics, economics, culture or religion.
As in the framework of the National Assembly's activities, as well as in other social and political activities, we pledge to eliminate corruption, bribery, arm-twisting, threats, and coercion from our arsenal. Also unacceptable are references to the ethnicity or the faith of opponents. In a free public discussion, only the convictions and actions of people can be [used as] arguments.
We pledge to never restrict the rights of citizens to determine their fate through free elections on a scale of the country, its regions or individual districts. We are united in our belief that the high officials of all branches and levels of power must be chosen by the free expression of the citizen's will. If the residents of the whole country or any territory consider it necessary to elect those, who they entrust with the powers of government of the rights of executive office, this right [to election] cannot be limited.
If the free expression of the citizen's will gives any of us authority over our fellow citizens, we pledge to respect the rights of those who voted against us, including their right to freely express and defend other positions, beliefs and views [that] don't correspond with our own.
On these foundations, we, the deputies of the National Assembly, are prepared to collaborate with all civil and political forces, including those that have so far decided not to openly step out against the presently governing regime. We uphold the public initiatives and activities of any political forces aimed at attaining from the authorities the observance of rights and freedoms of Russian citizens. It is absolutely unacceptable to us to collaborate, and all the more so collude with those who do not recognize those values carved out by us, or who declare their adherence to [these values] while disproving them with their actions.
We vow not to spare our energy or even our lives for the restoration of sovereignty and rule of the people in Russia.


We've had a huge amount of support from our local community and are extremely grateful to all of our volunteers and swimmers but there's still some way to go before we'll have saved Moseley Road Baths.
On Friday 9th November Historic England launched their register of Heritage at Risk for 2018 and Moseley Road Baths is listed again with its condition described as poor and and given priority A as it is considered to be at immediate risk of further deterioration.
This may sound gloomy but the future is looking promising! Historic England, National Trust, World Monuments Fund, Moseley Road Baths CIO, Friends of MRB and Birmingham City Council are all members of a coalition looking to find a way to regenerate this beautiful Edwardian pool and keep it open for swimming for future generations. This coalition is already reaping rewards with repair of the gala pool roof due to commence next year!

Who am I?: Heritage and rebranding
Heritage is more than just history, it speaks to the brand's purpose, to its past and to its promise to stakeholders. Getting it right facilitates innovation, but does getting it wrong lead to disaster?
"When you create a value system and you create something around that value system that isn't just a product, you create heritage; and everything you do has to be judged against that value system," says Adam Padilla, president and chief creative officer at New York-based brand consultancy BrandFire. His words dispel the nebulous definitions of 'heritage' that clutter the minds of brand experts and consumers alike. It is a characteristic bestowed upon brands that are both old and successful, often in the luxury space. However, heritage cuts deeper and should say something about the purpose of the brand, rather than its popularity, success or longevity.
The biggest discrepancy in the definition of heritage is location. Those in the UK and Europe equate longevity and luxury with heritage, in the US, heritage can be about brand affinity, in Asia, it is likened to exclusivity, in the Middle East to a strong local identity and in Australia to quality.
Yet, virtually all brand and communications professionals surveyed say heritage links back to the purpose of the brand, why it exists and what it achieves for its audience – rather than what exactly it sells. However, when rebranding or redeveloping an existing brand – as almost all companies will – heritage is not always considered. Kate Thomas, head of marketing & brand at Australian premium white goods retailer Winning Appliances, says, "A rebrand allows any business to take a step back and evaluate its past, present and future place in the market and wider world. Ultimately, it's a moment to identify its raison d'être."
That moment, for Winning Appliances allowed it to embrace its history and its modernity at once. Other follow suit when rebranding and embrace an aspect of their heritage that has brand equity. Yet some fail to do so and replace beloved aspects of their brands in favour of trendy visual tropes. Others, often younger companies, look to their brand purpose and recent origins to provide them with a visual or strategic direction based in heritage.
In the first instance, brands can fall prey to the allure of a rebrand or to the desire of a new CMO, CEO or other decision-maker change an element of their brand which has equity to stakeholders. International retailer Gap is a prime example. The beloved blue square, with serif word mark has been with Gap since 1986. It is applied across countless physical assets and storefronts worldwide. Yet, in 2010, a semi-crowdsourced reinterpretation of the blue square was launched without a supporting communications campaign. What Gap didn't bargain for was the amount of love consumers had for that square and the impact a rebrand would have on the bottom line estimated at about £100m in losses.
"In FMCG and other sectors, it's very tempting for new marketing directors to want to leave their mark by pushing [a rebrand] forward and the danger is you could start losing recognition of these elements and start to get confused," says global brand consultancy Siegel+Gale's associate creative director Dan Vasconcelos in regards to the Gap rebrand. "If I'm a customer and I feel that I own a piece of Gap and if there is a very sharp change without an evolutionary process, I feel like I've been robbed of that history or that connection with that brand and that's where the backlash comes from."
He compares the rebrand to the recent change Airbnb undertook. The digital business launched a rebrand that said, firmly, what the company stood for and who its audiences were. Itd had no history to draw upon, but it had a strong sense of purpose, which eventually helped its stakeholders accept the now iconic rebrand.
This is not a unique occurrence. The University of California's disastrous rebrand has achieved Gap-like status in the annals of mismanaged rebrands.
The famed university system – home of UC Berkeley or Cal and UCLA, among others – announced a modern, sunny rebrand that would take the place of its disjointed, corporate identity based around its original seal. It underestimated, however, the value of a professional- feeling brand and students and alumni spoke of feeling that their education had been devalued by the light-hearted brand. The university, after much public debate, reneged on their proposition to rebrand, keeping the muddled original. In this case, the university had a clear vision for the future, which the new brand supported, yet it didn't communicate that effectively to relevant stakeholders.
Global brand agency JKR's strategy director in Singapore, Katie Ewer, says evolution, not revolution, is key when dealing with heritage in rebranding, "Establish if you own anything visually distinctive that people recognise as unique to you. Unless that something has massively negatively connotations, then amplify it and celebrate it. Brands don't throw away established symbols or iconography as they modernise – they simply evolve them or treat them with a fresh perspective." Others agree that change and heritage are not mutually exclusive. Changes to elements of the brand with inherent equity should be used to drive innovation and prepare the company for the future.
That's exactly what New York confectionery company Little Bird did. The name – derived from a Yiddish pet name used by one of the founder's grandmothers – had heritage in that it was tied emotionally to the business and its founding proposition of making confections with care. Padilla, who worked with the Meyers on the rebrand, says, "If the brand is known for something good, you just want to upgrade it not completely demolish it." Despite initial reservations about the ability of the words 'little bird' to communicate effectively about chocolate, the BrandFire team recognised it's value. "If the public see it as neutral, but the owners feel a lot of heart for the name it's a better idea not to change it," Padilla adds.
What did change, though, was the positioning of the business. What was once one of many artisan chocolatiers struggling for purchase in a crowded market, Little Bird is now primarily a purveyor of spicy, pepper-infused chocolates and snacks – always one of its best-selling, yet understated products. With that positioning, the company is able to expand its business beyond the typical artisan chocolate audience and into those seeking spicy snacks. In conjunction with this shift, the wordmark was reworked to embolden the typeface and change the original red bird logo.
Padilla put a chili pepper to work as a visual pun in which the red bird is both just that and a chili pepper tilted jauntily to the side. "It's right on with the Little Bird name and the original brand equity, but it evolves the brand because it takes on a whole new dimension – that's a home run," says Padilla.
In Saudi Arabia, a longstanding auto dealership, Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJ), took its positioning as a beloved local brand and transformed it for a global future, with the help of Siegel+Gale. The visual brand was revamped entirely with a new typeface, colour palette and image library to strongly tie the story of ALJ to the development of the Middle East's modern economy. The brand is a celebration of the modern Middle East, says Vasconcelos, "They work together to give you that sense of being propelled into the future but at the same time it is tied to its past." That linkage is important as the company become s known as a Middle Eastern company with interests beyond automotive.
Though the company is longstanding by Middle Eastern business standards, having been founded in the 1940s, Siegel+Gale drew out its heritage as a core proposition. Heritage is not just about time, but about the business' purpose. Anant Sharma, CEO of Matter of Form, a digital agency that works primarily on brand experience for luxury brands, says, "Heritage is not to be confused with history. Heritage changes over time and makes history relevant to contemporary culture. Understanding what values make a brand relevant to a current generation of consumers needs to sit at the epicentre of how strategists approach a repositioning, and on this basis, brand elements that are changed should always stay connected to their original purpose."
For a pair of American brands that recently underwent similarly massive rebrands – Big Heart Pet Brands (formerly of the Del Monte empire) and Jazzercise – heritage was found in the companies' histories, but also in their values and objectives for the future of their business. American brand agency CBX worked on both rebrands.
Big Heart Pet Brands is, essentially, a new brand. It's logo and brand system are new. It's positioning is new. Yet, it is also the only remaining vestige of FMCG giant Del Monte's business after a sell-off of its human food brands. The company found that its remaining pet-focused holdings were not best served by the Del Monte brand, despite the brand affinity among consumers for the parent company and its own 129-year history.
Satoru Wakeshima, general manager at CBX, says this was a compelling position as the company was now all about pets. That was a proposition that made sense to its consumers, internal audience and investors alike. "While Del Monte Foods owned strong, well-known leadership brands in this space, such as Milk-Bone – and they very well could have gone the route of calling it the Milk-Bone Pet Company – there was a much bigger opportunity. When you're creating a brand, you're telling a story. And our story was more than just about the products this company sells, it was about a mission, a purpose: nurturing the bond between pets and the people who love them, making every day special."
Wakeshima adds, "Big Heart Pet Brands would be a completely different company than Del Monte Foods and that transformation happened literally, overnight." Despite throwing off the Del Monte mantle, though, Big Heart Pet Brands focused on its objective – love for one's pets and the emotions within that relationship. From that standpoint, the brand was able to establish a new heritage in pet care by harnessing the company's culture, the equity in its renowned brands and a new photographic and visual style. Wakeshima says, "Unless heritage has relevancy, it's merely that: your past. Brand equity is what you own in the minds of people and there's tangible, visual equity and there's the intangible, emotional equity that's associated with a brand."
Jazzercise also saw heritage as both a boon and a burden. The high-intensity exercise brand had become inextricably tied to the 1980s, and all the visual clichés inherent in that decade. In rebranding, it had to acknowledge the household brand's heritage, but also address its relevance to the modern woman.
"A rebrand allows any business to take a step back and evaluate its past, present and future place in the market and wider world. Ultimately, it's a moment to identify its raison d'être"
Creative director at CBX, Alison Koller, says Jazzercise chose a frank, straightforward tone of voice that recognised and dispelled the associations the brand had with the past. But it also remained true to its core proposition of offering fun, intense workouts infused with choreography and dance music. Koller says, "We looked at all of the historical materials from Jazzercise, and understood that the name was the one clear piece of equity for the brand. The visual elements, however, needed a complete transformation... Innovation can come in the form of a new product or service. In the case of Jazzercise, the simple extension of the brand into greater strength and higher intensity toning (still based in dance) was a straightforward innovation."
The relationship between heritage and innovation is at once a prominent rebranding strategy and one that is difficult to get right. Implementation firm Principle Global's UK head of business development and experienced brand creative Max Spiegelberg, says, "When managing a heritage brand, the key is staying true to your core while staying relevant to the future and the present."
For American pharmacy chain, Rite Aid, its buy-out of southern Californian rival Thrifty came with an ice cream brand in tow. Thrifty Ice Cream had been popular since the 1940s. Its iconic square scoops and multiple consumer choice nominations prompted Rite Aid to keep the brand alive and to sell the ice cream in its outlets and in supermarkets throughout the southwest US. The ice cream doesn't detract from Rite Aid's modern brand experience , but ties it to a local heritage brand.
Padilla points to Apple as another company that hasn't relied too heavily on history or product. It's hardware is fantastic, but its brand is all about connecting people through technology. That allows it the flexibility to expand its products and services while maintaining one of the world's strongest, most consistent brands in the world.
Spiegelberg considers luxury British brands Whittard and Twinings in terms of judging the success and failure of heritage branding. "Everyone knew who Whittard was, but they didn't understand what they stood for to bring them into the modern world." The brand experience suffered and the brand became irrelevant. Twinings, however, evolved its product and experience to embrace a modern approach to tea drinking. Its London flagship features tastings, bespoke blends and loose-leaf creations, as well as a brand museum. Spiegelberg says, "You don't have to go back to the beginnings, but what you can do is ground your experience in heritage."
Winning Appliances took this model to heart when it reconsidered its brand in 2014. The Australian retailer looked back into its brand story and fourth-generation family legacy to generate a modern brand and allow the company to grow in the future. To maintain that visually, Thomas' team drew, literally, from the founder's signature to create the new wordmark. Other heritage-based elements were incorporated into the visual brand. Thomas says, "Change was required as the business was acting like a premium retailer, but not looking like one visually."
She adds, "What is clear is that Winning Appliances has stood for the same principles and offered the same personal service throughout the generations. However, in this ever-evolving digital world, it's now a case of when we meet them, where we meet them, how we talk with them (not just to them) and how we can offer 'good old- fashioned retail' (the absolute foundation of our brand) in the modern day."
"When you create a brand, you're telling a story."
Australia, Thomas adds, is a region that appreciates quality in regards to heritage whereas, as Ewer says, Asia- Pacific values localisation and a sense of the international, "Johnnie Walker is careful to celebrate the brand's ties to China without diluting its impeccable Scotch credentials, whilst many brands release special edition products during festive periods like Chinese New Year."
Brand equity also lives in design – of product or of packaging. Coca-Cola is owner of the most iconic bit of brand equity – its traditional glass bottle. Despite years of changing styles, Brand Union's executive creative director Clare Styles says, "They've managed to hold onto the emotional attachments to that iconic piece of design." Indeed even this year, Coca-Cola's Ramadan campaign took the logo off cans, a confident act that relied on the prominence of its design alone.
Padilla says it's easy to fall prey to changes in trends and respond with unnecessary changes to a brand. Style changes, as does language, and the brand language or visual identity should shift if it becomes irrelevant. But the brand's core purpose should remain: the answer to the question 'Who am I?' he says, "You're going to be polarising if you're a good brand. I'm not going to change myself to make others happy, I'm going to change whatever's not correlating within my messaging and get my point across. Not what people are going to like. Think about what you like and what you believe in and get your consistency straight and communicate it – that's what branding is."
Brands must respond to modern demands and remain flexibile, but understanding its personality and purpose is essential to a brand in order to determine exactly what it stood for yesterday and stands for today and tomorrow.

Q: How to center setLogo drawable programatically in toolbar I have a custom toolbar that's built without a xml, all the code is just written in java. I am using the setLogo() method to add a drawable but the image's default gravity is to the left. How can I change its position/gravity so that it's in the middle?
I was trying to override the setLogo() method but I can't apply a LayoutParams to a drawable.
This is what I am talking about:
   @Override
   public void setLogo(@DrawableRes int resId) {
       LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
       float factor = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
       int margin = (int) (16 * factor);
       lp.setMargins(margin, 0, margin, 0);
       lp.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
       resId.setLayoutParams(lp);  // this does not work

       setLogo(AppCompatResources.getDrawable(getContext(), resId));
   }

What's the right way to achieve this without a xml to refer to?
Thanks!

Oscar Hopefuls At IDFA
Monday, November 27----Three of the fifteen documentary feature films selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) as contenders for this year's Best Documentary Oscar are associated with the International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam (IDFA). The 79th Academy Awards will be given out on Sunday, February 27, 2007 in Los Angeles.
SISTERS IN LAW, co-directed by Kim Longinotto and Florence Ayisi, opened last year's Festival and also copped the prestigious IDFA Audience Award. The powerful film, set in Cameroon, explores the story of a crusading female judge, who attempts to change ages-old traditions of rape and abuse of women by members of their own families. SISTERS IN LAW also won the C.I.C.A.E. Award at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for a British Independent Film Award. It is being distributed in the United States by Women Make Movies.
JESUS CAMP, co-directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, is a timely look at the indoctrination of young people at an evangelical summer camp, where they are taught to mix politics and religion (a tantalizing but deadly combination). The film, which won top honors at this year's Silverdocs Film Festival, has been a success in its theatrical run in the United States, where it is being handled by the arthouse specialty company Magnolia Films. The film screens this week at IDFA.
THE WAR TAPES, directed by Deborah Scranton, is a powerful account of an American soldier's mission in Iraq, in which common soldiers candidly and poignantly capture their day-to-day experiences on camera. The film won the Best Documentary prize at the Tribeca Film Festival and is currently in theatrical release in the United States via SenArt Films. The film recently screened at the inaugural Rome Film Festival and will have its premiere at IDFA later this week.

Accessory mental foramen (AMF) is a rare anatomical variation. When accessory mental foramen is present, the nerves and vessels that go through the mental foramen (MF) must follow alternative courses and special care must be taken during dental treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and the location of AMF in a selected Polish population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Two hundred CBCT (105 males and 95 females) examinations were evaluated for the presence of AMFs. The location and side of AMFs were reported. The mean distance between MF and AMF was also calculated. The vertical size of MF on the side with and without AMF was measured. The obtained variables were statistically analyzed.
AMFs were observed in 7% of the patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the appearance of AMF and sex (p > 0.05). We found no significant difference in the vertical size of MF between individuals with and without AMFs (p < 0.05).
Twenty-eight AMFs (7%) were observed from 400 sides of 200 patients. AMFs occurred more often in males (18 AMFs) than in females (10 AMFs). Twenty AMFs (71.4%) were located anteriorly, and eight (28.6%) - posteriorly. Fifteen AMFs (53.6%) were on the right side and thirteen (46.4%) - on the left.
Accessory mental foramen
Cone-beam computed tomography
CBCT
The mental foramen (MF) is a bilateral opening in the mandible through which nerve endings such as the mental nerve, a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve and corresponding arteries and veins emerge [1–4]. Once the nerve leaves the MF, it branches to innervate the anterior teeth and neighboring structures. The blood vessels supply the soft tissues of the lower jaw [5, 6]. The position of the mental foramen is used as a reference point in the anesthetic technique such as the incisive/mental nerve block. In dental practice, the importance of this structure is mainly related to the positioning of dental implants and to other surgical procedures in this region, for example endodontic surgery. There are some reports on the anatomical variations of the MF such as the presence of accessory mental foramina (AMFs) [2, 5, 7–11]. When AMF is present, the nerves and vessels that go through the mental foramen must follow alternative courses and special care must be taken during dental treatment planning.
Accessory mental foramen has a different description in literature. Some authors described AMF as any additional foramina except the main MF [5, 12]. On the other hand, only those foramina that are integrated with mandibular canal are nominated as AMFs [13–15]. Conversely, the foramen which does not originate in the mandibular canal and its dimensions are relatively small is recognized as a nutrient foramen [16].
The presence of AMF can be evaluated with different methods including macroscopic investigations on dry skulls [14, 17, 18], plane radiographs (including periapical and panoramic views) [19] and computed tomography images (CT or CBCT) [19]. The crucial benefit of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is overcoming the limitations of conventional radiography by producing three-dimensional (3D) images that allow comprehensive evaluation of the anatomy of the chosen region [20]. CBCT is an useful tool that provides detailed information on the structures of the maxillofacial complex, permitting the identification and the evaluation of anatomical variations [19, 20].
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and location of the accessory mental foramen in a selected Polish population using CBCT.
This retrospective study consisted of 487 CBCTs obtained from 2011 to 2012 in the Radiology Department at the Central Teaching Hospital, Institute of Dentistry, of the Medical University of Lodz (Poland). Images were performed for different diagnostic reasons, such as bone absence for implant placement, assessment of tooth relationships with clinically relevant anatomical structures, dental surgery and diagnosis of radiolucent lesions. The CBCT scans were selected according to the following inclusion criteria: visibility of MF, no lesion observed in the apical area of premolars and MF, no bone resorption occurrence. Only images with availability of precise information about patient age and sex were selected. The exclusion criteria consist of CBCT images with large pathological lesions in mandible and bone fractures in region of examination. Also inadequate picture quality with artefacts caused by osteosynthesis plates/implants or patient movement during exposure were rejected. According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample group included data from 200 patients (105 males and 95 females). This study has obtained a positive opinion of the Ethics Committee of Medical University of Lodz, Poland (No. RNN/322/15/KE).
Accessory mental foramen (AMF) in this cross-sectional study was defined as a buccal foramen smaller than the mental foramen and followed by the accessory branch of the mental canal before it exits from the mental foramen, regardless of its location.
All CBCT images were obtained using a GX CB-500 (Gendex, USA) at 120 kVp and 5.0 mA, with a voxel size 0.125–0.25 mm and an exposure time of 20 s. All images were analyzed using specialized computer software (iCATVision Q, ver. 1.9.3.13; Gendex, USA). The samples were manually evaluated by independent two observers and any disagreement between them was discussed until a consensus was reached. To test the reproducibility, the two observers re-examined 50 randomly selected CBCT scans 4 weeks after the first evaluation. For the final analysis, each measurement was performed twice. Finally, obtained data by both investigators were averaged and mean values were calculated. Data were assessed on axial, sagittal and coronal CBCT slices of 0,13 mm thickness. The CBCT scans were evaluated in terms of the presence of accessory mental foramen (Figs. 1 and 2). When the AMF was present, the location and side (right or left branch of the mandible) were recorded. With regard to location, AMFs were classified into two groups according to Naitoh et al. [14]: anterior or posterior to mental foramen. The distance between the accessory mental foramen and the mental foramen was measured by formula previously proposed by Naitoh et al. [14]: distance = \( \sqrt{x^2+{y}^2} \) (Fig. 3). The mean vertical size of MF on the side with and without AMF was also calculated. The obtained variables were statistically analyzed using Statistica 12.5 PL® software (StatSoft, Poland). The chi-square test was used to determine potential differences between the presence of AMFs and sex of the patients and the Mann–Whitney U test was used to evaluate the relationship between the vertical size of the MF and the presence of AMFs. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

There were 105 males (52.5%) and 95 females (47.5%) in the study group. The average age of the 200 patients who were included in this study was 54.57 years (range: 29 to 76 years, SD: 10.26 years). The mean age of the males was 54.49 years (range: 29 – 76 years, SD: 10.79), while the mean age of the females was 54.66 years (range: 39 – 75 years, SD: 9.72).
Twenty-eight AMFs (7%) were observed from 400 sides of 200 patients. AMFs occurred more often in males (18 AMFs) than in females (10 AMFs). No statistical significant difference was found between the occurrence of AMF and sex (p > 0.05). The bilateral presence of AMF was not observed in the presented study. Twenty AMFs (71.4%) were located anteriorly, and eight (28.6%) - posteriorly. Fifteen AMFs (53.6%) were on the right side and thirteen (46.4%) were on the left. The location (anterior/posterior) and side (right/left) of AMFs in respect to patient sex were presented in Fig. 4.
Location and side of accessory mental foramen
The distance between the AMF and the MF ranged from 0.64 to 6.5 mm with the mean of 2.86 mm (SD: 1.34 mm).
The mean values of vertical size of the MF with AMF (on the same side) and without AMF were presented in Table 1. The relationship between the mean vertical size of MF and the presence of AMF was not statistically significant (p > 0.05).

The presence of an AMF has been suggested to result from the branching of the mental nerve before it exits the mental foramen. Ignoring the presence of AMF may cause unexpected damage to the neurovascular bundles or lead to the failure of a mental nerve block.
According to Balcioglu and Kocaelli [5], the presence of AMF is a rather rare anatomical variation with the prevalence ranging from 1.4 to 10%. The differences may be explained by different imaging techniques and race. Panoramic radiography provides a flat image of the curved structure and is not as accurate as CBCT in the horizontal localization of objects. Their report also revealed that non-Caucasians have a higher prevalence of AMF than Caucasians [5]. On the other hand, accessory mental foramen in comparison to very rare skeletal variations like double suprascapular foramen are a common anomaly [21].
The prevalence of AMF varies in different ethnic groups. The highest is reported in black and Maori males [22]. Kalender et al. [23] observed AMF in 6.5% of a Turkish population, and prevalence of 6.68 and 7% were found in Greek [24] and Japanese [15] populations, respectively. In adult Sri Lankan [25] and Indian [26] populations, the prevalence of AMF was found to be 3.92 and 8.9%, respectively. In the present study, the AMFs were detected in 7% of the selected Polish population.
In our study, AMFs occurred more often in males (18 AMFs) than in females (10 AMFs). However, the difference was no statistically significant (p > 0,05). Other studies also confirmed that AMFs were more commonly found in males [14, 15]. Göregen et al. [8] in their study observed the same number of AMFs in males and females with no statistical differences between these groups.
The location of AMF is also important and can directly affect the treatment plan since it might interfere with performed procedures. Katakami et al. [13] in the study of 150 patients, observed the presence of 17 accessory mental foramina by CBCT with 59% of which being posteriorly located to the mental foramen. Another study conducted on 157 patients demonstrated the presence of 15 accessory mental foramina, nine of which posteriorly located [15]. On the other hand, the study of 315 patients of a Turkish population revealed the occurrence of 22 AMFs, twelve of which (54,5%) anteriorly located [8]. In the present study, twenty (71.4%) of twenty-eight AMFs were anteriorly located.
The next measured parameter was the distance between the mental foramen and the accessory mental foramen. Göregen et al. [8] reported that the distance ranged from 1.6 to 4.9 mm, with the mean of 2.54 mm (SD: 1.1 mm). In the studies of Naitoh et al. [15] and Kalender et al. [23], the mean value ranged from 4.5 to 9.6 mm, with the mean of 6.3 mm (SD: 1.5 mm) and from 1.3 to 15.4 mm, with the mean of 5.2 mm (SD: 4.4 mm), respectively. In the present study, the distance between the AMF and the MF ranged from 0.64 to 6.5 mm with the mean of 2.86 mm (SD: 1.34 mm)
The mean vertical size of the MF on the same side as the AMF was 3.21 mm (range: 1.74 – 5.82 mm, SD: 0.98), and that of MF on the sides without AMF was 3.26 mm (range: 1.12 – 7.02 mm, SD: 0.97 mm). The relationship between the mean vertical size of the MF and the presence of the AMF was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Similar results were reported by Naitoh et al. [15] and Göregen et al. [8].
In 2013, Chen et al. [27] described a new method of improvement of computed tomography images. They used fast dictionary learning-based processing. This method brings encouraging improvements in abdomen low-dose computed tomography images with tumours. In 2014, Chen et al. [28] used novel image-domain algorithm called "artefact-suppressed dictionary learning". In this method, orientation and scale information on artefacts is exploited to train artefact atoms. These artefact atoms are then combined with tissue feature atoms to build three discriminative dictionaries. Authors provided qualitative and quantitative evaluations of this method on a large set of abdominal and mediastinal computed tomography investigation. In 2016, Chen et al. [29] described new technique of minimal path propagation with backtracking for curve-like structure extraction. They found that the information in the process of backtracking from reached points can be well utilized to improve the extraction performance.
Preoperative imaging study is important prior to any surgical or anaesthetic procedure in mental regio. AMF is a relevant anatomic structure, which should be considered in treatment plan of procedure performed in mandible (i.e. root resection of mandibular premolars or molars, osteotomy, mandibular rehabilitation after trauma, placement of dental implants). The detection of AMF has a direct influence on therapeutic success. In patients with AMF, accessory mental nerve and vessels may be present. The presence of accessory innervations may explain failures to achieve adequate levels of anaesthesia during surgical and routine dental procedures using conventional nerve block techniques. The detection of AMF can prevent nerve and vascular injury and reduce complications of dental treatment such as: paralysis, hemorrhage and post-operative pain.
In the present study, the occurrence of the accessory mental foramen in the study of the Polish population is similar to that described in Turkish, Greek and Japanese population. Awareness of anatomy and its variations are essential to ensure precise dental procedure execution. Moreover, it is crucial to better understand possible anatomical conditions that can promote neurosensory disturbance in treated area.

Landmarks Approves Expansion of Hamilton-Holly House in the East Village
The Hamilton-Holly House, historic and present-day
By: Evan Bindelglass 7:00 am on November 30, 2016
Changes are on the way to a piece of Alexander Hamilton's familial legacy. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved work to be done at the Hamilton-Holly House. However, the changes won't be exactly what was proposed, particularly on the house's rear.
Located at 4 St. Mark's Place, between Third and Second avenues in the East Village, the three-and-a-half-story Federal style home was built in 1831. English-born real estate developer Thomas E. Davis built it, but it's who lived there that makes it significant.
In 1833, it was sold to Col. Alexander Hamilton, Jr., son of first Secretary of the Treasury (not the son who also died in a duel). Of course, Secretary Hamilton's life and death is now the subject of the hit Broadway show Hamilton: An American Musical. As for the house, it served as home to Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, the elder's widow, as well as their daughter Eliza Hamilton Holly and her husband Sidney, plus the junior Hamilton and his wife. The Hamiltons owned it until 1843, when the oil and candle merchants of the Van Wyck family purchased it.
Eventually, changes, including the removal of the first floor curved balcony, as well as commercial interventions, were undertaken. Additionally, a non-conforming rear addition was constructed, to allow for a meeting hall. It later served as several theaters. It was designated an individual landmark in 2004 and is now configured for commercial space on the basement and first floors and residential units above.
Sectioned renderings of the Hamilton-Holly House at 4 St. Mark's Place, existing and proposed
The renovation plan comes from Park Place-based SWA Architecture. It calls for the same basic setup, but with more residential units. The aforementioned rear addition would be demolished, and a new one constructed, that would result in the removal of the historic rear dormers and make the building five stories tall. Not all of the floors would line up front-to-back.
Front of the Hamilton-Holly House, existing and proposed
On the front of the structure, a largely new entryway would be installed, the gate at the stoop would be removed, new windows would be installed, and the grand curved balcony would be reconstructed at the first floor. The secondary stair from the ground to the first floor would be removed and a new small gate put in its place at ground level, an additional window would be added to the basement level, an existing basement door would be replaced with a window, an agree under the front steps would be reopened, and signage would be installed. The existing fire escapes would remain. The façade would also receive an overall restoration.
Ground and first floor of the Hamilton-Holly House, existing and proposed
"As HDC often testifies, Federal townhouses are rare and treasured examples of Manhattan's early dwellings that should be respected, not mutilated," testified the Historic Districts Council's Barbara Zay. "The removal of the house's roof and rear, including its dormer windows, which provide important evidence of the Federal style and the house's date of construction, would severely compromise its integrity. Our committee, however, found the alteration to the storefront to be acceptable."
"The Hamilton-Holly House is one of the rare, extant, largely intact Federal style row houses in New York City. While GVSHP appreciates the proposed restoration of much of the façade, there are other elements in the proposal which lack authenticity and therefore are inappropriate," testified Sarah Bean Apmann of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. "Built in 1831, this house was part of the row of Federal houses on this street between Second and Third Avenues built by Thomas E. Davis when this was one of the most fashionable areas to live in Manhattan. The survival of this rare house is remarkable in its own right but what is even more remarkable is the survival of its pitched roof with front and rear dormers. The rear addition should be reduced in height so that the roof and rear dormers may remain intact.
"Another element in the proposal which is troublesome is the addition of a small window between the larger windows at the basement level. This element has no historic precedent, and interrupts the original fenestration. Finally, at the parlor level, the proposed addition of a store door on the west side and the metal sign mar the historic and architectural integrity of this house. The same care and authentic approach used in the upper floors should be exercised here and at the basement level."
Manhattan Community Board 3 approved of the façade work, but not the new configuration of the rear.
The commissioners were okay with most of the proposal, but not the fifth floor, because it would knock out the rear dormers. Nor did they like the new window at the basement level. They also had issues with the signage proposed for the front. In the end, they approved the proposal, but with the elimination of the new fifth floor and the new basement window. Without that additional floor, there might be a reduction in residential unit count. The applicant will also work with the LPC staff on the signage.

401K vs Whole Life Insurance: Which Retirement Plan Is Best?
Unlike trying to take a 401K withdrawal, the Bank On Yourself strategy gives you complete control over your equity in the policy. You can borrow your equity when you want, for whatever you want, and you don't have to sell your assets to do so.
A very unique feature of this kind of policy is that when you borrow your equity, it could continue growing as though you never touched a dime of it. In addition, you receive the same guaranteed annual increase regardless of whether you have a policy loan, and any dividends you may receive are not affected by policy loans (if your policy is administered by one of the handful of companies that offer this feature). In addition, you determine your own loan repayment schedule.
Using what our research has shown is the best 401K alternative – the Bank On Yourself method – one couple was able to have a total of $2.31 million over thirty-three years of retirement, primarily by redirecting money their employers weren't matching from their 401K plans. That happened even though they used their policies over the years to finance new cars every four years and for foreign travel.
No two Bank On Yourself plans are the same. Yours would be custom-tailored to your unique long-term and short-term financial goals and dreams. To find out what your bottom-line numbers and results would be if you added Bank On Yourself to your financial plan, request your FREE no-obligation Analysis now.
If you need access to your money in a 401K, you may be able to borrow money from it up to certain limits.
This typically involves liquidating assets, and you'll stop earning interest and investment income on those funds.
You're typically required to pay your loans back within 5 years, or the outstanding balance becomes taxable and you also have to pay a 10% penalty.
If you invest in a 401K, letting your employer choose your investments can easily deprive you of $500,000 or more of your hard-earned savings!
Read this shocking expose' today and find out what you can do to protect yourself!
One study calculated that a 35-year-old with a $20,000 plan balance who takes out two loans in fifteen years ends up with about $38,000 less at age 65 than someone who never borrows, even if the loans are repaid without penalty ("Tempted to Borrow from a 401K Account" – New York Times).
TRAP: If you lose your job or leave your company for any reason (and you haven't reached age 59-1/2), in most cases you're required to pay any loans back – in full – with interest in 30 to 60 days, or you'll have to pay income taxes on it, plus a 10% penalty.
You can take income from a policy used for the Bank On Yourself method when and how you wish. There are no penalties for early, late or no withdrawals, and no minimum withdrawal requirements.
The 401K withdrawal rules are very restrictive: There are penalties for taking distributions before you're a certain age, and you're required to start taking distributions when you're 70-1/2, whether you want or need to.
3. Is your growth guaranteed and predictable?
Your growth in a Bank On Yourself-type policy is both predictable and guaranteed. You receive a guaranteed annual increase, plus you have the potential for dividends, which, while not guaranteed, have been paid every single year for more than 100 years by the companies used by Bank On Yourself Authorized Advisors.
You'll know the guaranteed value of your plan on the day you want to tap into it…and at every point along the way!
You can get a FREE analysis here that will show you how much your financial picture could improve if you added Bank On Yourself to your financial plan, along with a referral to a Bank On Yourself Authorized Advisor, who is a life insurance agent with advanced training in this method.
If your money is invested in the market, you could lose some or all of your money and have no way of predicting the value of your plan when you hope to tap into it.
Here's a more detailed comparison of how Bank On Yourself compares to investing in the stock market.
4. What are the tax consequences?
It's possible to take retirement income without taxes due, under current tax laws. This is accomplished through a combination of dividend withdrawals and loans against your cash value, and making sure the policy does not lapse.
Withdrawals from traditional 401K's and qualified plans (other than Roth-type plans) are taxable. If tax rates increase in the future, as most experts believe they will, and you are successful in growing your nest-egg, you'll end up paying higher taxes on a larger number.
MYTH: Many people believe they'll come out ahead tax-wise by deferring taxes, however, deferring taxes could actually result in your paying much more tax – and that's assuming the tax rates don't increase at all.

Between 1887 and 1895, the British art student Miles Vandercroft travelled around the world, sketching and painting the soldiers of the countries through which he passed. In this age of dramatic technological advancement, Vandercroft was fascinated by how the rise of steam technology at the start of the American Civil War had transformed warfare and the role of the fighting man. This volume collects all of Vandercroft's surviving paintings, along with his associated commentary on the specific military units he encountered. It is a unique pictorial guide to the last great era of bright and colourful uniforms, as well as an important historical study of the variety of steam-powered weaponry and equipment that abounded in the days before the Great War of the Worlds.
Philip Smith is a lifelong historical enthusiast, and has carried his interest through an undergraduate degree at Lincoln College, Oxford, and into his career as an editor, where he specializes in military history and tabletop wargaming. Joseph A McCullough is the author of several non-fiction books including A Pocket History of Ireland and Osprey's Zombies: A Hunter's Guide. In addition, his fantasy short stories have appeared in various books and magazines such as Black Gate, Lords of Swords, and Adventure Mystery Tales.

Bob Andy
from Kingston, Jamaica
January 1, 1944 (age 78)
Bob Andy (born Keith Anderson) is one of reggae's most influential singer/songwriters. Many of his songs, written both for other artists as well as himself, have been covered numerous times and are considered reggae standards. Some of his biggest hits written for other artists include Ken Boothe's "I Don't Want to See You Cry," Delroy Wilson's "It's Impossible (Impossible Love)," and Marcia Griffiths' "Feel Like Jumping" (co-written by Jackie Mittoo).
Andy first attracted attention as a founding member of '60s rocksteady vocal group the Paragons. His solo career began in the late '60s when he recorded a string of singles for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One. In 1972, these singles, including "I've Got to Go Back Home," "Too Experienced," and "Unchained," were compiled on an album, The Bob Andy Songbook. From 1969 through the early '70s, Andy teamed with Marcia Griffiths to record several singles and albums, including the U.K. hits "Young, Gifted and Black" and "Pied Piper," as the duo Bob Marcia. As a solo artist, Andy released The Music Inside Me in 1975 and Lots of Love and I in 1977; these albums included classics such as "Fire Burning," "The Ghetto Stays in the Mind," and "Feel the Feeling."
In 1978, Andy took a five-year sabbatical from music to concentrate on his career as an actor. Andy's albums Friends (1983) and Freely (1988) were released on his own label, I-Anka Records, as was Bob Andy's Dub Book (1989), mixed by Mad Professor. Also in the late '80s, Andy worked as an A&R director for Tuff Gong Records, the label founded by Bob Marley in the early '70s. Fire Burning, a collection of Andy's '70s work, was released by Trojan Records in 1995. Hanging Tough, a full-length produced by Willie Lindo, was released by VP Records in 1997. In 2006, the Jamaican government awarded Andy the Order of Distinction in the rank of Commander for his contributions to the development of Jamaican music. A major tribute concert took place in Kingston in 2011, honoring Andy's life and music, and he continued writing, performing, and recording. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

In early May, I attended the AUVSI Xponential 2016 symposium in New Orleans. This show is considered a mecca for anyone professionally involved in the UAS industry and includes commercial and avocational interests.
The highlight of the show was a presentation by the Administrator of the FAA, Michael Huerta. His primary focus was the relaxation of FAA mandates toward education. The administration will allow UAS operations by students and faculty members for educational and research purposes, provided that they follow the FAA's rules for model aircraft.
At the AUVSI event, several well-known aerospace companies were diligently looking for qualified employees. If you are in a quandary about what type of professional career to pursue, consider the various positions in the aerospace industry. A college degree in this field could certainly offer lifetime success.
The AMA created the Youth Leadership Award to recognize Youth members who spread the love and fun of aeromodeling.
The winner of the 2016 AMA Youth Leadership Award is Adam Enggasser of Greenville High School in Greenville, South Carolina.
Adam is an outstanding student with a passion for aviation.
He has participated in the school's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program. His academic efforts also include being named Student of the Year by the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina and an invitation to compete internationally in the VEX World Robotics Championship.
Adam belongs to EAA Chapter #249, the Western Carolina Skyhawks, and the Upstate South Carolina Youth Aviators Association. Adam believes that the natural problem-solving aspects of RC aviation and one's ability to effectively design, build, test, refine, program, and compete with airplanes and sUAS, promote important life skills and develop positive friendships.
National Model Aviation Day will be August 13, 2016.
This year, the charity of choice for the AMA is the Disabled American Veterans (DAV; www.dav.org), or clubs can choose another charity.
700,000 rides for veterans attending medical appointments and assists veterans with more than 300,000 benefit claims annually.
In 2015, DAV helped attain more than $4 billion in new and retroactive benefits to care for themselves and for veterans, their families, and survivors. DAV is also a leader in connecting veterans with meaningful employment, hosting job fairs, and providing resources to ensure they have the opportunity to participate in the American Dream their sacrifices have made possible.
The AMA has more than 20 Special Interest Groups (SIGs), representing various facets of aeromodeling. One of the leading groups is the National Miniature Pylon Racing Association (NMPRA).
Congratulations to this SIG as 2016 marks its 50th anniversary. The enjoyment the NMPRA has created in local, national, and world-class competition has certainly been appreciated.
If you have an interest in Pylon Racing, check out the NMPRA website at www.nmpra.net.


KU Institute of Sustainable Halophyte Utilisation (ISHU) Director Prof Dr Bilquees Gul and the Foshan University's Hao Zhifeng signed the documents. The MoU is designed for the interest of academic exchanges and scientific research cooperation on the basis of equality, friendship, mutual assistance and benefits.
The MoU aims to promote modern agriculture in the belt and road countries based on the International Research Centre for Environmental Membrane Biology at the Foshan University and the Guangdong International Science & Technology Cooperation Base for Environmental Membrane Biology.
According to the MoU, both parties have agreed to set up Guangdong Belt and Road Institute of Plant Environmental Sensing and Signalling for modern agriculture.
They have also agreed to set up China International Science & Technology Cooperation Base for Environmental Membrane Biology and to set up a joint laboratory for environmental membrane biology and plant sensing and signalling.
For the interest of substantial implementation, they have also agreed to organise international conferences, forums and seminars regularly. They will be involved in applying and accomplishing research projects related to plant membrane biology and modern agriculture.
KU and the Foshan University have also decided to cooperate with the belt and road countries sharing modern agricultural development and to provide funds for early career researchers from the belt and road countries going to the Foshan University for short-term study or scientific research.
According to the MoU, funds and other facilities would be provided for outstanding young scientists from China and the belt and road countries doing joint PhD programmes and to exchange scientists and specialists participating in international scientific events such as seminars, conferences, symposia and exhibitions.
The representatives of both universities also agreed that any activities mentioned in the agreement should be negotiated and determined by both parties before virtual practice. The memorandum would be valid from the date of formal signature by both parties for a period of five years and would be automatically renewed.
It may be extended, terminated or amended after appropriate mutual review, and may be terminated earlier on the receipt of written notice six months in advance by either party. The termination of the MoU will not affect the ongoing research or projects that have been agreed on.
Earlier, ISHU Director Dr Bilquees, who had participated in the first One Belt, One Road Plant Membrane Transport Protein Biology Forum held from April 8 to April 10 at the Foshan University, briefed the participants about the latest research being conducted at her institute and also shed light on the achievements of its scholars.
She said that the idea was to bring together some salinity experts at one place to do some brainstorming and discuss how to make their collaboration more efficient and productive. "Pakistan and China have very special relations, and this meeting was very essential to formalise [and boost] collaboration between both countries," added the ISHU director.
She highlighted that the key idea of the forum was to bring together plant researchers working in the field of membrane transport biology to discuss recent progress in the field and provide the opportunity for professional networking and collaboration.
Amongst other topics, presentations and discussions at the forum covered membrane transporters in stress signalling and adaptation, membranes and plant development, plant nutrient acquisition and processes at root-rhizosphere interface and molecular mechanisms of regulation of transporters activity.
She said that the Foshan University wanted to discuss their recent data and explore some possible ways for collaboration between the laboratories of both universities in the future, such as joint publications, grant applications and co-supervision of research students.
Prof Dr Bilquees was invited due to her high international standing in the field. Experts from Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Denmark and Mexico also attended the event.
