MEXICO CITY — Mexican ballad singer and composer Armando Manzanero died at the age of 85, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday.
Manzanero was hospitalized in recent weeks with COVID-19 and at one point was on a ventilator.
But his manager, Laura Blum, said he died at a Mexico City hospital of complications from a kidney problem.
Manzanero was a crooner best known for songs like "Somos Novios," which, with translated English lyrics, became the 1970s hit "It's Impossible" for Perry Como.
López Obrador praised the Yucatan native as "a great composer, and the country's best."

"Besides that, he was a man with sensitivity, on social questions as well," the president noted.
The president played a video clip of Manzanero singing the song "Adoro," and appeared so overcome by emotion at the news of his death that he cut short his daily news conference.
"I do not want to continue with this press conference. It ends here," López Obrador said before playing the clip.
Manzanero was born in Merida, the capital of Yucatan state, and his ashes will be returned there, Blum said.

He was proud of his roots in the largely Maya indigenous state, noting "I am a Mexican of Mayan ancestry, I am a Mayan Indian."
In a 2020 interview with The Associated Press, Manzanero expressed pride at how other artists continued to sing songs he wrote decades ago.
"The song I wrote 50 or 60 years ago is still alive," Manzanero said. "Even flowers don't live that long."
He had several ex-wives, seven children and 16 grandchildren, all of whom survived him.

One thing I had trouble with for a long time, is finding a balance between the desire to make all sorts of projects, rapidly and confidently advance in the artistic career – and the ability to control my emotions, be calm and inner-integral.
There is so much to do that doesn't relate to drawing or painting when you are a professional artist! And you also should make chunks of time to create new beautiful stuff.
My mind works in a swift impetuous mode. I often felt lucky that I am a person who is interested in millions of things and insistently tries to realize this interest. However, this feature almost always shows drawbacks: tiredness, a state of mental dispersion, and doubts.
It is easy to get into the trap of desire to be great in everything: in art, in all kinds of relationships, in your creative business; paying attention to the cover but not at the contents.
Sometimes I feel like the modern world is insane: people run to reach their goals as fast as they can, making all sorts of things along the way, but can't answer the question why they think their actions and goals are important particularly for them. Just for a chance to be a "successful" person?
Happiness is not a destination. And there is no way how you can feel good if you are in a constant hurry or slight displeasure, experiencing long-lasting stress or compulsion.
Good news is that much of the enforcement is created by ourselves. It is us who think that we are not good enough or could be a bit better, faster, more diligent or skilled in art or business, could make one more task today or by the end of the week.
It is not pleasant to admit our limits, especially having in mind all those wonderful people around the world, who show amazing results of their work.
It is necessary to find a sincere connection with your inner self – that is the idea I find insightful.
Do things that personally YOU love and find meaningful. Sometimes we commit to anything that we don't even need or choose a goal that doesn't actually warm us up!
Remember, you have the freedom and responsibility. It is up to you, will you regret or appreciate.
Say "no" to anything or anybody that makes you bored, unhappy and doesn't add real value to your life. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to please everybody around you, in all possible times and all situations.
Love your creative core and nurture it – you are the person who deserves to be appreciated and cared of.
It is possible to choose the life and goals that make you passionate voluntarily. Even if nobody is willing to applause or pay you for them right now. It is your life, after all – why should you be a copy or an obedient listener of somebody's will and limitation beliefs?
So wonderful to slow down a bit and ask yourself, if you feel good about your actions and their direction. Are you doing this particular thing for your sincere happiness and pleasure right at this moment (and for the benefit of your brilliant future), or just for an illusory image of "being nice and hard-working" person?
Slowing down doesn't necessarily mean taking a vacation in the middle of the urgent project or having a whole day-off to rest. It is rather a moment when you connect with your inner core and set the priorities, shake off the stress and choose integrity.
I believe that career, goals, and adherence to some principles of "true aspiring (or successful) artist" should never be a key-note of the life. For me, this place is given to the Purpose (self-development and making the world a better place) and my Freedom to choose whatever I want.
Slow down, just for a moment.
One important thing that I learned in my life is the value of taking action.
A person can dream, make plans, try all the possible ways to become more conscious and happy, but without a real materially-minded movement of having things done, all the spiritual aspirations and goals written on a paper sheet are almost nothing. They make no difference.
The same goes for any brilliant ideas – they are only mental dust without executing.
The life is all about making step by step, living one day after another. It is a journey of completed projects and comprehensive skills that were formed in the course of a long time.
When there is no action, appears fear. It is a barrier that obstructs the full-flowing river of freedom and grandeur. The temptation to reduce the list of your wishes and goals becomes almost unbearable.
How to wipe the mean-spirited apprehensive thoughts off your mind? By setting aside the excuses and taking action.
How to finally love and accept yourself? By doing things that you were afraid of immersing in and allowing yourself to do for a long time.
An action is courage to be the person you really are deep inside your heart. A human being you can be proud of.
Say "I can do it" and do. Every day, little by little. This simple scheme makes wonderful changes in life because bits of the progress create momentum.
Take responsibility and be the driving force of your own advancement.
My 2017 year started with a distinct feeling of mental eagerness.
I consume various kinds of information, read dozens of books, listen, learn, and expand my life experience in many ways that aren't directly related to art or my specialty. Everything happens in my own head – I don't have to go anywhere.
A blissful state of self-sufficiency and knowledge that I can be whoever I want and develop any skill I really like to have. No need to choose with logic and denial.
The time we live in is absolutely fantastic – most of the things we need, appear just at the fingertips. This only idea makes me so passionate about life, about every day of being able to evolve.
It's not about doing only the right things, not wasting your valuable time, or being a smart person that knows everything. If you look at it from another angle, all human culture is inspired by creativity – and unique wisdom that brings together practical knowledge and desire to make something worth living through the ages.
Will I Regret Not Having Done It?
This is the question I ask myself every time when I'm not sure if I'm going into the right direction.
It's essential that human beings want to be safe, loved and approved. We like having less stress and more calmness. However, sometimes all these reference points become illusory and we choose a mediocre life instead of real greatness and valuable fulfillment.
Everything comes from within: happiness, love, gratitude. There is no need to search for approval, serenity or love in any person's attitude – because all wonderful things always start from yourself. That's why it is said that you should love yourself first.
I think about self-approval – I had troubles with it for a long time. There always was something I could have done better, faster, more ideal, beautiful, correct. A better version of myself was a competitor I could do nothing with.
I knew that having this illusory rival in mind is something I will regret in future. I already did! For years it didn't allow me to value myself and my creations, discover my real worth and get what I really deserved.
It's ironic but all the yardstick of worth and dignity is so relative.
Why can't a person choose an idea that anything he or she does is amazing and worthy?
So many nerve cells could be saved and so many great creations could be made. More people could become abundant and inwardly free.
This "regret" thing is unique for everybody. What do (or don't) you do now that you will regret in future?
A thought about people with many passions and natural curiosity.
Our life is a transit from one unknown place to another, and no matter how badly we want to seize the precious moment of joy and love, and make it stay for a bit longer – it will go away. Live is a constant movement.
I thought for a long time that there is a huge injustice that we forget everything that we don't use frequently, and every skill that is not practiced regularly becomes faded.
But now I realize that there is nothing wrong or sad. We are free to do anything we want! To try different things, explore, make our lives just fabulous. Any limit like "you shouldn't get scattered" or "you should do this one thing" is something that we bring to our world from other people's beliefs, it doesn't come naturally, from within.
If something goes away, let it go – life isn't about collecting. If your priorities change, let them. A person doesn't have to become obsessed with success and comparison to anything or anybody.
It's all about the movement and being at the moment. Just live, express yourself and make things you find interesting. Be free and curious.
I feel grateful for this amazing, breath-taking adventure! 🙂 I experienced so many different things in my life.
It wasn't ever easy: I went through drama and anxiety, was homeless and alone, sometimes I even felt completely broken, worthless and miserable. I was determined to become a winner in this life and stay on my path – through persistence and hard work. I also got to know hope, trust, blissful gratitude and unconditional love, my biggest treasures.
What I especially keep in mind for the gone year, is the sense of passion for my mission: art and writing, making the world a better place. I got to know myself better and became more attentive, sensitive, and calm person.
Now I know why being happy is a better choice than being cheerless or anxious. I believe we, people, are designed to be unique parts of something bigger, like some great Integrity. We feel fulfilled and purposeful in a state of connection with the world, together with other living beings. When we are happy and make a choice of positive attitude, the sense of connection and integrity gains strength – and we feel a flow of something very pleasing.
My wish to myself for the next year of my life is a progress in the great school of Life. I want to learn how to choose emotions and thoughts more wisely, change attitude to anything happening in the most effective way, and be more free and open to the world – and all nice things to come. I think it's time to be actually unstoppable and gradually let go of everything limiting.
Life is incredible. Every minute is precious, it's the time when the magic of objective reality happens, step by step. Everybody has a guiding star and so many possible things to accomplish.

Vegas' first see-through display, high-tech control room among key components of Sin City's new marquee attraction.
Las Vegas has long been known as the entertainment capital of the world, so everyone knew when AEG and MGM Resorts International announced plans to open the $375 million T-Mobile Arena, it was going to be unique—and, of course, spectacular.
So it's no surprise two of the biggest names in the integration world—Alpha Video and Audio and Daktronics—wanted to be part of the project. Daktronics installed 25 video displays around the 650,000-square-foot T-Mobile Arena and Las Vegas' first see-through display outside the building and Alpha Video built T-Mobile Arena's video replay control room and IPTV system to the space that, at the time, didn't have a team ready to call it its permanent home.
Since T-Mobile Arena opened in April, the National Hockey League awarded an expansion team to Las Vegas starting with the 2017-2018 season. In the meantime, T-Mobile Arena will host about 150 events every year, including concerts, boxing, mixed martial arts, awards shows and special events such as visits from the Harlem Globetrotters, rodeo and other marquee attractions.
Four Daktronics displays fill the corners between the main displays of the center-hung scoreboard and measure 21 feet high by 6 feet wide. On the underside of the center-hung board, four displays measuring 7 feet high by 14 feet wide provide additional viewing opportunities for seats that are closer to the playing surface with supplemental content to the main displays.
"They didn't hold back on much," says Mark Johnson, regional sales manager for Daktronics. "That's how they entertain people. They decided what they wanted and it was up to us to bring it to them." This job means Daktronics equipment is now in about 75 percent of NBA arenas and about 80 percent of NHL stadiums.
Jeff Volk, VP of Alpha Video's sports and entertainment group, says AEG and MGM upped their expectations in December in terms of what technology they wanted incorporated in the project. The shift from a more standard system to one that could handle an NHL or NBA tenant came in December, only 13 weeks before the deadline to complete the project. Typically, Alpha Video gets about 19 to 24 weeks for similar projects.
Near the end of the project, AEG and MGM encouraged Alpha to complete their portion 10 days earlier than they were contractually obligated, and they complied.
Two ribbon displays mounted to the seating fascia, four tunnel displays mounted above entrances to the seating area and six scorer's tables positioned on the sidelines of the court provide opportunities to highlight sponsors throughout events as well as provide additional statistics and animations.
A trapezoid-shaped, freeform linear LED video wall on the exterior is the first see-through display in Las Vegas, covering 9,000 square feet and measuring approximately 43 feet high by 210 feet wide. Pixels have been placed 50 millimeters apart to provide a video solution for outside viewers while still allowing those inside the building to see out through the display.
Due to the trapezoid shape, this exterior display requires an advanced control solution to maximize the unique aspect ratio. To accomplish this, Daktronics has introduced the new 6000 Series Display Interface with proprietary Pure Pixel Processing (P3) technology, which provides efficient control and vibrant color reproduction.
Before AEG and MGM brought Daktronics on board, they visited Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Madison Square Garden and other arenas with Daktronics equipment to get an idea of what they might want in T-Mobile Arena.
"The gamble paid off," says Johnson with a nod to the casino-lined Las Vegas Strip, continuing a relationship that goes back a decade. Daktronics' work started in November 2015 in anticipation of the soft launch April 6.
The main challenge, says Daktronics senior project manager Luke Tingle, was limited parking in and around the area, between the New York New York and Monte Carlo hotels. He's excited, though, about the Toshiba Plaza outside the arena, an area with a stage set up for live music that is the appetizer to the entertainment zone. Inside the arena, the club area at the top of the building creates triangle-shaped peaks that look down on the arena. It's a model Tingle expects other facilities to follow in the future.
Although Alpha Video has done many digital signage and IPTV installations with other companies in Vegas, this was their first time working with MGM.
"One of our challenges with these kinds of projects is to continue to meet the demand of increased expectations, shorter deadlines and smaller budgets," says Volk.

International Women's Day 2022 | W7 at "Gender Justice Helps the Global Immune System"
7 March 2022 |
How can gender-just approaches be used to provide innovative ideas for just and fair politics? How can those approaches help to raise awareness in global societies? And how can they counter future health and modernization crises in a powerful and sustainable way, especially with regards to political, social, and economic dimensions?
On the eve of 2022 International Women's Day, the National Council of German Women's Organizations (Deutscher Frauenrat) partnered with the political foundation Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) to host a festive event with the provocative title: "Gender justice helps the global immune system – effective ways out of the crisis".
After a welcome address by Daniela Kolbe, vice president of the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, and by Dr. Beate von Miquel, president of the Deutscher Frauenrat, the event started off with a powerful keynote speech delivered by development economist Prof. Jayati Ghosh on the current economic and social situation of women in the vulnerable societies of the Global South.
"Globally we underprovide care. It is always seen as bottom of political priorities, not as something that can actually transform the economy. This is highly flawed. As feminists, we need to change that!" Ghosh emphasized during her keynote.
Overshadowed by the devastating situation in Ukraine, the event's focus had been inter alia shifted towards the impact of war on G7 debates and on the overall discourse on gender just recovery and cooperation. Dr. des. Galyna Spodarets, Slavic Studies Expert and Former FES fellow provided substantive background on the current situation in Ukraine and the situation of women and children on the ground.
At the centre of the festive event was the 45-minute panel discussion on "Under the German presidency: How can the W7 accelerate the way out of the crisis?" joined by Saskia Esken, Chairwoman of Social Democratic Party Germany, Claudia Bogedan, Managing Director of Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, Prof. Anna-Katharina Hornidge, German Development Institute & Professor Global Sustainable Development at University of Bonn, Carla Dietzel, W7 Advisor and Advocacy Officer at CARE Deutschland e.V. and Juliane Rosin, Director of International Gender Equality Policy at Deutscher Frauenrat. The panel shed light on the role of Women7 in current G7 discussions and discussed perspectives from trade unions, policy-making and feminist civil society on key requirements and best-practices to Gender Equal COVID Recovery.
Closing the event with a Resumé Juliane Rosin emphasized the importance for feminists to join forces promote unilateral solidarity in the face of crisis: "In the current crisis we will remind the G7 that we need a boundless solidarity. And that also means that all refugees, regardless of ethnicity, need our full support!"

Last time we looked at the commission Jesus gave to his disciples after his resurrection and before he went and sat down on his Father's right hand in heaven. It was clear from looking at Matt. 28: 18-20 that they were told to go and teach the things that Jesus had taught them to others, starting at Jerusalem, making more disciples to do the same. It is important to notice that a gospel was never mentioned.
If you look at Ez. 45:17 and 2 Chron. 29: 24 you will see that reconciliation involved sacrifice and blood and so it is in Apostle Pauls' epistles.
Now, we will look at the commission given to us in the letters of our Apostle Paul..........Let's look at 1 Cor.7:11, I think that most people know what it means when a husband and wife are reconciled, their differences have been settled, so it is between God and man because of the work done on the cross by our mediator Jesus Christ. Let's look at Eph.2:14-16. First, He had to make peace between the Jew and the gentile by removing what was stopping us from being one and that was the law with all of its ordinances which He abolished. That He might reconcile both Jew and gentile to God together as one body by the cross. Now see Col.1: 20,21 Then He reconciled ( The Father ) all things to Himself by the blood of Jesus which brought peace. The ones that were alienated and enemies by their way of thinking up and doing wicked things, He has now reconciled. Now let's look at Rom. 5:10! Well, if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of Jesus his Son, now being reconciled we will certainly be saved by Jesus Christ's life. Why are we looking at being reconciled to God and not our commission that was given to us after the the Lord Jesus left this earth to sit down on the right side of God? When we look at the last few scriptures you will understand my approach to the answer for us. Let's now go to 2 Cor. 5: 17-20 , verse 17 speaks of how if your saved and therefore baptized into Christ he is a new creation, therefore he will leave the old way of existing that has passed away (not passing but passed) that makes everything new for us, they have become new! Verse 18, Let us know why all things are new, because all things in your new life are of God, He is the one who has reconciled us to Himself by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross AND given to US the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION. This is the answer to what our MINISTRY IS AS GIVEN BY GOD not by man or doctrines of man. This is how it happened, God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD unto HIMSELF, NOT COUNTING their SINS against them of the WORLD'S PEOPLE and has COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. Just a little word about these scriptures regarding God not imputing their sins against them. I know a lot of people get upset at this, but please remember that the biggest problem that God has had with mankind is unbelief. God has concluded all in unbelief during this present time. See Rom. 11:32, so our message should not be about someone's sin but about their unbelief. There is only one answer for that, become a believer in what God says. Paul said to us, Now then WE Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ stead, be ye reconciled to God. Look at Ephesians 6:18-20, it's clear that our Apostle Paul considered himself an ambassador and wanted to have boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel given to him by the heavenly Christ. You have just seen a part of that mystery, apply it in your life.

Also, you can order papers of premium and platinum quality, but of course, they are much more expensive.
I wanted to make an order, but I doubted, because I didn't want to receive a paper of bad quality. So, I decided to contact support team in order to ask for help.
It took him quite a long time to answer my questions.
Nevertheless, because of high prices I decided not to make an order here. I understood that only platinum and premium clients are appreciated there. Support team has some issues to work on, as well as the system of this writing service in the whole. So, if you are not a premium client with a lot of money, then this site is not for you.
Have you ever placed an order with Rushmypapers.net before?

ASUCD
Redirected from asucd student services office
They want to be written about, but only on their terms. —The Aggie Editorial Board
The Associated Students, University of California, Davis (ASUCD) is a term describing the undergraduate student government at UCD. All undergraduate students are dues-paying members of ASUCD, grad students can also elect to join but rarely do. Although ASUCD officially disaffiliated from The University of California Student Association (UCSA) on November 2nd, 2006, it rejoined the organization in January 2015.
Most often, the phrase "ASUCD" is used to describe the governing body of ASUCD. Similar to the US government, ASUCD has an Executive, a Legislative, and a Judicial branch. The association's $13 million dollar operational budget funds a host of student services such as Unitrans, KDVS, the Coffee House, Picnic Day, the Bike Barn, and the Experimental College. A fundamental characteristic of ASUCD is that it is primarily student managed and staffed, employing upwards of 1,500 students (not to mention dishing out a few scholarships like the ASUCD Prizes). ASUCD offers opportunities to engage in leadership activities that range from student advocacy to management and finance and to event planning. Senate meetings are open to the public, and held every Thursday during the school year, in the Student Community Center, Meeting Room D, starting at 6:10pm.
ASUCD is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Their tax-exempt status got them in a bit of trouble in 2004 due to candidate endorsements (see Lamargate).
ASUCD has an official website which includes the ASUCD Constitution, from which some of the following information is robbed.
The current sitting President is Justin Hurst.
The President, as the chief executive officer of ASUCD, oversees all ASUCD units. She has the option to sign or veto all legislation passed by the ASUCD Senate.
Advocacy Units are directly under the executive, and include among others Lobby Corps and ASUCD University Affairs.
The ASUCD President does not have the ability to introduce legislation, except for the annual budget. They are also responsible for appointing the directors of all ASUCD units except for the The California Aggie and KDVS, which are appointed by the Campus Media Board.
The current sitting Vice President is Shreya Deshpande.
The Vice President is elected with the President and serves as the presiding officer over all ASUCD Senate meetings. They are also the legal successor to the ASUCD Presidency.
The current sitting External Affairs Vice President is Edgar Masias-Malagon
The External Affairs Vice President (EAVP) is elected on a separate Executive Ticket, and is in charge of the Office of the External Affairs Vice President(OEAVP). The offices duties include representing the University of California, Davis in UCSA. In addition to that the office lobbies on behalf of U.C. Davis on a local, state, and federal level.
The current sitting Controller is Meital Machulsky
The President is in charge of appointing an ASUCD Controller, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of the Senate. The Controller is the Chief Operations Officer of ASUCD, and oversees business units along with the Business Manager. The official duties of the controller are: "work[ing] on all phases of management planning, budgeting, implementation, and evaluating. In addition, they monitor the expenses of all AS activities."
The ASUCD President, Vice President, and External Affairs Vice President are elected together during the 7th Week of Winter Quarter each year using Instant Runoff Voting, for a term of one year. To be eligible for the ASUCD Presidency, one must have completed 60 units (not necessarily at Davis) and have been a registered UC Davis student for at least two quarters prior to election.
The Executive Office of the ASUCD President and the ASUCD Cabinet provides assistance and counsel to the ASUCD President.
There are 12 seats on the ASUCD Senate. They are elected six at a time during the 7th Week of Fall Quarter and the 7th Week of Winter Quarter using Choice Voting. Many of the Senators are most visible as candidates (often in slates), but spend most of the year writing and reviewing legislation. Senators may additionally tackle any kind of goal, from fighting racial discrimination to getting staplers in the computer labs — the fact that they are Senators opens many doors in the UCD Administration and the City of Davis that ordinarily would be hard to access. There is an ASUCD Senate Office that serves as a working place for Senators.
To see the current Senate makeup, please see the ASUCD Senate page.
Commissions play an integral role in the ASUCD Senate. Some are programmatic, and do outreach activities, but all of them help in crafting legislation at least occasionally. There are seven of them, vaguely described in the Constitution as follows:
Academic Affairs Commission - Current Chair: Justin Hurst. Recommends to ASUCD programs and policies in Academic Affairs areas. Disseminates information concerning the student development of courses and curriculum. They honor teachers that go above and beyond each year.
Internal Affairs Commission - Current Chair: Jacob Ganz (appointed after the former chair, Nicholas Flores, was placed on probation and then suspended for sexual assault). Investigates and recommends improvements in areas and services which affect the quality of student life. Orchestrates administrative plans for all ASUCD units and reviews legislation for anything internal, i.e. delegating campus affairs.
Business and Finance Commission - Current Chair: Andre Spinoglio. Formally advises Senate on fiscal concerns and financial allocations.
External Affairs Commission - Current Chair: Nayzak Wali-Ali. Acts as liaison with off-campus bodies which affect students. Works with Executive office and Senate to recommend action for city, county and national affairs.
Ethnic and Cultural Affairs Commission - Current Chair: Rina Singh. Programmatic commission that holds Diversity Days every Fall. Acts as Liaison with off-campus bodies affecting ethnic groups. Investigates and recommends policies regarding ethnic community issues. Meeting Times: Monday at 6:10 in the Cross Cultural Center in the Student Community Center.
Environmental Policy and Planning Commission - Current Chair: Alice Beittel. Researches environmental issues and recommends improvements regarding them. Performs environmental assessment of ASUCD units. Meeting Times: Tuesdays at 7:30 in the AMC Room of the MU.
Gender and Sexuality Commission - Current Chair: Joelle Judeh. Programmatic commission that promotes awareness of issues regarding gender, sexuality, sex and sexual assault through educational workshops, panels and keynote speakers. Plans Generation Sex Week and the Western Regional LGBT Conference with the LGBTRC.
Commission chairs act as non-voting members of the senate, though all legislation not marked as "urgent" is generally analyzed by a commission before being put up for vote.
Internal Affairs, Academic Affairs, Business and Finance, and External Affairs have been parts of ASUCD since at least 1981 (detailed in the ASUCD Constitution, as amended January 1981). Interestingly enough, IAC at that time was ASUCD's most programmatic commission.
Committees are similar to commissions, but are smaller and fulfill specialized roles. The real legislative distinction is that they make informal recommendations to Senate, as opposed to the official recommendation of the commissions. An organizational chart of ASUCD may help you understand the system. Or not. General Purpose Committees — seeking student participation:
The Elections Committee serves primarily during the election seasons in Fall and Winter Quarters and in Spring Quarter, during the event of special elections.
Created in 2005, the Student-Police Relations Committee, made a permanent committee in 2006, takes student concerns about the UCDPD and DPD to the city's Police-Student Relations Sub-Committee. They also lobby for reforms in the police department.
Internal Committees — these are committees of ASUCD officers that only meet for specific reasons:
The Internet and Networking Committee serves to coordinate ASUCD information technology staff and the government. This committee is chaired by the ASUCD Controller.
The Unit Relocation and Space Allocation Committee (URSAC), created by ASUCD Controller Devin Whitney in 2006, is designed to move units around more smoothly than what happened in the AS PAPERs fiasco. This committee is chaired by the ASUCD Controller.
The Special Committee on Bylaw Review, created by former-IAC Chair Sergio Cano in 2012, is responsible for performing a comprehensive review of the ASUCD Bylaws and making necessary changes to bring these up-to-date and make them consistent with internal procedures. This Committee will automatically expire at the end of Spring 2012, or when a bill to implement the necessary changes in passed, whichever occurs first.
The Committee on Committees, created by former-Senator Amy Martin in 2012, is responsible for advertising, reviewing applications, and appointing undergraduates to positions on ASUCD-external committees, such as Administrative Advisory Committees and Academic Senate Committees.
The Aggie Public Arts Committee, created as a special committee by former-Senator Alison Tanner in 2010, is responsible for enhancing the UC Davis campus and the larger Davis community by facilitating various public art projects from students and community members. In 2013, former-IAC Chair Sergio Cano made it became a permanent committee of the ASUCD Senate.
The ASUCD Senate may from time to time make Special Committees, which only last a year or less. Some of the successful ones may also become permanent committees. Current Special Committees:
Special Committee on Renter's Rights (Created in 2011)
Special Committee on Student Health and Wellness known as the Student Health and Wellness Committee or SHAWC (Created in 2011)
Special Committee on Outreach known as the Aggie Bound Outreach Committee (Created in 2011)
The Court of the Associated Students of the University of California, Davis is legally one of three coequal branches of the Associated Students, University of California, Davis. Charged with the ultimate authority to interpret the wording of the ASUCD Constitution and that of legislation enacted pursuant to the Constitution, it has the power to review previously enacted legislation made by the Senate following a written request by any ASUCD member(s), and review complaints regarding the Elections Committee or any other office or body of ASUCD. This power is derived from Article VII of the ASUCD Constitution.
The Court consists of nine members, nominated by the ASUCD President and confirmed by the ASUCD Senate. The Chief Justice is chosen from among these by the same process. Justices serve until they graduate, resign, or are indicted and impeached. Justices may be permanently removed by a two-thirds vote of the ASUCD Senate only after an indictment hearing conducted by the Internal Affairs Commission. Operating on an annual budget of $99 American Dollars, all members of the courts and their staffs are unpaid volunteers.
If any ASUCD member feels that an ASUCD officer is not conducting their job correctly, or ASUCD legislation is not consistent with ASUCD Constitution and/or ASUCD Bylaws, they may file a complaint with Student Government Administrative Office through a complaint form. Following which SGAO will notify the Court and you'll hear from the Court with further instructions when they've decided whether or not to take the case.
Further, Preemptive Writs and Injunctions have been instituted as of the 2012-2013 term to aid the Jurisdiction of the Court. It allows ASUCD members to petition the court to issue writs to prevent imminent illegal actions contravening to the ASUCD Constitution and legislation enacted pursuant to it. If the Bench deems the evidence accompanied to be sufficient proof of imminent illegal actions, then the Court may issue a writ described within chapter ten of the ASUCD Judicial Codes, those writs shall be legally binding until such time as it is challenged, following which the issue will be escalated into a full hearing. Petitions forms for the issuance of writs are available again in the Student Government Administrative Office.
The current sitting Chief Justice is the Honorable Aria Aghalarpour.
Bureaucracy - Student Services and Student Government Administrative Office
Janice Corbett is the current business manager of ASUCD. Upon Brett Burns' move to the UC Davis law school, Anne Myler, the director of the Center for Student Involvement became interim Business Manager. Mark Champagne, who retired in June 2011 after 32 years of service to ASUCD. The Business Manager is at the top of the University (unionized) employee hierarchy within ASUCD.
Student Services is best known as the source of paychecks for Coffee House and other ASUCD employees. They do all the human resources and other office work for the "commercial units".
The most recent Student Government Advisor was Michael Tucker (formerly Eric Sanchez, Vicki Swett). The position was cut during the 2008 budget hearings.
Student Gov't Administrative Office (SGAO) is the civil service of the ASUCD government - they perform government bureaucratic necessities
Government Documents are available at the Student Government Administrative Office (SGAO), or (in a probably outdated and incomplete form) online

1. The Bike Barn is considered a break-even unit although they do not have their own reserves so they are occasionally subsidized by the senate (such as with the Bike Barn's computer system). In FY2006-07 they were the most profitable ASUCD unit. 2. Although nominally an advocacy unit, City/County puts on Housing day, and the profits from the event pay for all the expenses of the unit. 3. Unitrans is considered to have a break-even budget because it is subsidized by Undergraduate Student Fees and TAPS. It is as if all ASUCD members bought bus passes.
ASUCD Services
There are Legal Services available. Every undergraduate gets 15 minutes per quarter of time with a lawyer. Its just enough time to discover if you have a case or not. Contact the Student Services Office and they will put you in contact with the lawyer.

The old ASUCD logo, 2009 and prior ASUCD was originally established on December 10, 1910 as the Associated Students of the University Farm (A.S.U.F.) to provide more activities for students on campus. Through 1909 and 1910, the only student organization had been an athletic association; A.S.U.F. took on the role of athletics and managed all other student activities, such as Picnic Day and fraternities. On January 12, 1914, ASUF opened the Student's Co-Operative Store, later known as the Coop Store, which evolved into the UCD Bookstore. Around 1925, the ASUF was renamed the Associated Student of the College of Agriculture (A.S.C.A.). The leadership body of A.S.C.A. (and A.S.U.F. before it) was the Executive Committee. Students had to buy A.S.C.A. cards to become a member — membership included privileges such as free admission to athletic games, a discount at the Coop, and a subscription to The California Aggie. The first mandatory fee was introduced in Spring semester of 1935; now all students were represented by the A.S.C.A. When Davis was designated as a general campus the association became known as ASUCD. ASUCD has gone through several leadership bodies, including: the Executive Committee, the Legislative Assembly, Senate, Executive Council, and finally a Senate today in its current incarnation.
From 1960 to 2000 there was a committee for ASUCD Student Forums.

Welcome back to Red Ted Art and this week's "How to". Once again, I am not sure if this a "how to" as such, but I guess if you have never done Easter Egg Blowing, it will indeed be new to you… for those of you that have, it will hopefully serve as a reminder, provide you with some handy tips and give you a pretty and VERY simple "Austrian" Easter egg design – it is one of my favourites ever and I use it on many things! I also have a fun easter decor for kids idea coming up very soon .. so be sure to be back!
I love blown eggs as they have something wonderfully delicate about them! Quite pretty I think!
I also love this craft, as it is incredibly thrifty: you still get to use the eggs! So it is virtually FREE! Only costs to you are a ribbon, a pin and some paint!
I used acryclics – they are strong bold colours. You can use food dies and die your egg by – mixing 10-20 drops of food die with 1/2 cup of water and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Submerge egg with help of a spoon and leave for 20-40min. I found the results so so. Definitely worth experimenting with!
1) Prick holes on either end of your eggs with a pin – I usually make the holes around 4-6 pin pricks big. You can make them smaller, but the blowing is much harder! If you get the pin prick holds big enough the blowing really isn't too hard – can almost do it one breath!
2) If your needle reaches try and prick the yolk – this will make things easier, but don't worry if you can't! Huana in the comments suggested using a toothpick – great idea – piercing the yolk REALLY helps and will stop you "passing out"!
3) Hold the egg steady in both hands and blow through the top hole. This is no easy task, you may want to make your hole a little bigger. But it is possible! Out 12 eggs, I have only broken one… and that is because I got impatient and hurried it.
4) Give it a wiggle with your pin if it helps!
5) Once, everything is out, I like to rinse some water through the egg.
NOTE: we make the holes "bigger" now – which means my kids (10 and 8) can manage the blowing! They LOVE doing it themselves and I think this is a real memory maker for them!
I found it very useful to "skewer" the egg with a thin wooden kebab stick – this makes painting and drying much easier! Alternatively, you can hang it first, but I still find that a little messy!
1) Paint a base colour – match your decor. Darker colours provide a nice contrast to the final design, lighter colours look fabulous for spring!
And this is the result using Yellow (yes, yellow, it turned red) and Blue (?) food die! The blue really didn't work well – key thing is to juts "pat your eggs" dry and not rest them on the paper towel for too long!
3) Once dry: tie some thread/ ribbon to the pin. When it is hanging the pin and the string will form an upside down T in your egg, which is what holds it in place.
I find these quite addictive. And since giving them a go again a week ago or so, I can't help but blow out every egg I need for cooking. They make FABULOUS little Easter gifts too!
They are adorable, thanks again Maggy!
That might be a less messy way of letting the kids 'crack eggs' than on the side of the bowl too! Thanks for the idea.
Now is the time I REALLY wished I still have my chooks, for unstamped eggs.
Maggie, these are so pretty. They look beautiful hanging on the tree!
How beautiful. My MIL hard boils hers and paints them, I have always blown eggs lol.
Use a toothpick to prick the yolk,I do that manny years and it's so much easyer!
Oh, I love the purple and pink ones! I may have to blow out my eggs and save them so I can make several of these! What a thrifty craft! And cute too!
These are amazing! I love them. What a great decoration they would be hanging outside in our rose bushes, or inside at our Easter party. Thanks so much for sharing. I am definitly going to bookmark this one to try.
My children and I were chatting about this whilst picking up some eggs yesterday think will have to have a go :)as my son couldn't believe that you can get the yolk through such a tiny whole.
Hello, I still don\'t get the idea of how to put the knot inside the egg, do you have more photos to illustrate? thanks heaps!!
I am having PC issues at the moment, but as soon as I am back to normal, will add some photos!!
Thanks so much for some refreshing and fun non-chocolate ideas. I am inspired!!!
Just wanted to let you know that this tutorial was great! I linked to your site at http://blogging-mama.com/holidays/blowing-out-eggs-for-easter/.


It's been 10 months since the General Services Administration rolled out its Unified Shared Service Management Office. In that time, the office's top manager said, USSM has been charting a new path for federal agencies to follow to the rewards of lower costs more effective services.
Building the right services is only part of a the equation, USSM Executive Director Beth Angerman said in an interview with FCW. Successful shared services, she stressed, require a more complex ecosystem of federal and commercial providers -- not just of the services themselves, but of the components that make them possible.
"These things are hard. Government has a history of implementing these things inconsistently," she said.
To make things more consistent for federal agency leaders, Angerman said, USSM has been busy building the common tools and guidance. For instance, USSM recently released a shared services playbook and a management framework that it hopes will make a clear decision path for federal IT executives.
That Modernization and Migration Management framework also includes a review process that will help the Office of Management and Budget keep track of agency shared services investments to make sure the money is well spent.
GSA, Angerman said, has also tapped the ProviderStat performance monitoring program to gauge agencies' use of metrics and capabilities. The effort also includes a Shared Services Governance Board, created last October by the GSA and OMB as USSM's inter-agency advisory committee that steers efforts to hone the shared services model.
USSM convened its first industry day in mid-August to talk with commercial technology providers -- about the services themselves, and also about what else industry could bring to the table to help federal agencies most effectively tap the services.
Where past federal shared services methods looked mostly to agency-provided efforts, USSM's effort looks to cast a wider net, according to Angerman.
The framework and playbook resources, she said, aren't simply a collection of best practices and practical structure. They're also designed to get IT executives to think up-front about what they're hoping to get from shared back-office services such as payroll, grant-management and human resources functions.
"It's not a world of commercial/federal service providers. We can leverage the strengths of both" not only with specific services, but with expertise and other components, she said. "We're looking for a variety of things from industry, not just commercial providers. It's industry's overall roll in the ecosystem."
That's one of the reasons USSM recently sought industry comment on shared payroll capabilities, Angerman said. The request for information isn't intended to address every aspect of payroll management, but targets specific components that the agency thinks are critical to successful governmentwide payroll management.
Those components include gross-to-net pay calculation; identity and access; self-service and up-front validation capabilities; cloud and data management, as well as data traceability and workflow management. GSA is expecting to hear back from vendors by Aug. 29.
The input, Angerman said, will provide a more complete picture of what's possible and get to the bottom line of the entire effort.

Scientists have developed robotic fish to help them do underwater research. The robo-fish can swim alongside real fish to give new insights into life below.
The robotic fish named SoFi was developed by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) can be controlled with sound. SoFi swims by flapping its hydraulic-pump powered tail back and forth.
The clever robot can also control its own buoyancy through adjusting an internal foam material. During test dives in the Rainbow Reef in Fiji, SoFi was able to swim down 15 meters for more than 0 minutes at a time.
It could navigate and respond to current and avoid collision with coral. During the swim, SoFi collected data by taking photos and videos using its built-in fish eye lens camera.
The research team have also developed a controller for SoFi that allows a researcher to be underwater with the robo-fish controlling it to look for specific items. The controller is created from a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller.
"To our knowledge, this is the first robotic fish that can swim untethered in three dimensions for extended periods of time," says CSAIL PhD candidate Robert Katzschmann, lead author of the journal article about SoFi published in Science Robotics.
"We are excited about the possibility of being able to use a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own." SoFi is able to swim close to real fish because it propels themselves forward with a method that mimics the movements of real fish.
These alternating operations mean SoFi sways or wags like a real fish allowing it to mingle with other fish without detection. SoFi can travel at a speed of approximately half a body length per second. SoFi is made from a combination of hard 3D printed plastic and soft silicon rubber and flexible plastic.
The robotic fish will allow researchers to study schools of fish and delicate coral otherwise difficult to access.
SoFi's soft body means the researchers can put it into more complex environments without the worry of major damage being sustained. "Collision avoidance often leads to inefficient motion, since the robot has to settle for a collision-free trajectory," explains Rus.

Q: Declare service in AOSP As part of a training course I need to declare a service in AOSP and call it at boot. The thing is the training is outdated, I'm working on a physical machine and the project is different.
Specs:
Android Version: 12
Android SDK: 31
Anyway I've built a module in C called "exd", it's stored in /system/bin/ and it works properly when called manually. Next I want to declare it as a service.
I've added to init.product.rc file:
service exd /system/bin/exd
    oneshot

on boot
    start exd

But when I build and download it to the device, service list doesn't display it. And it doesn't start on boot.
Next I've added exd.te file to sepolicy folder:
type exd, domain;
type exd_exec, domain;
init_daemon_domain(exd)

And added this line to file_contexts:
/system/bin/exd u:object_r:exd_exec:s0

When I call build it fails with the following message:
Error while expanding policy
[ 39% 60/151] //system/sepolicy:sepolicy.recovery Compiling cil files for sepolicy.recovery [common]

Failed to generate binary
Failed to build policydb
10:35:34 ninja failed with: exit status 1

I've tried everything I've found on the internet to no avail. The weird thing is that there is another service called "bugreport" which is declared almost indetically as mine, but it is listed after "service list" command.
At this point even pointing a good direction would be great for me.

A: You are getting neverallow, which is basically Android saying you are trying to do something that is not allowed in the SEPolicy definition. You need to create a .te file that consists of SEPolicy rules for your service.
An example SEPolicy file can be as follows:
type myservice_exec, exec_type, file_type, system_file_type;
typeattribute myservice coredomain;

# myservice servicemanager and binder access
allow shell myservice:binder { call transfer };
allow servicemanager myservice:dir search;
allow servicemanager myservice:file { open read };
allow servicemanager myservice:process getattr;
allow myservice servicemanager:binder { call transfer};
allow myservice system_server:binder call;

init_daemon_domain(myservice)

Notice the second line. You are missing that and it is most probably why you are getting a neverallow problem.

Pawleys Island makes championship round in Garden & Gun Best Southern Beach Town Contest
Pawleys Island is officially one of only two beach towns still in competition to win a five-round online contest to name America's "Favorite Southern Beach Town."
Garden & Gun magazine's contest, which began in mid-March in a sports-style elimination bracket with 32 favorite Southern beach towns, is now down to historic Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and Mexico Beach, Florida.
Vote for Pawleys Island here.
Pawleys Island rolled through the first four rounds, defeating Port Aransas, Texas; Folly Beach, South Carolina; Sanibel, Florida; and Jekyll Island, Georgia, to advance to the championship round.
The competition is determined by an online vote on the Garden & Gun website. People are allowed to vote every hour.
Pawleys Island is South Carolina's Hammock Coast's oldest and most famous beach community.
"This has been such a thrill over the past couple of weeks as Pawleys Island advanced in each round," said Mark A. Stevens, director of tourism development for the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce. "We are beyond thrilled that Pawleys is now in the final competition, and it's our hope to see our beloved Pawleys officially declared the Favorite Southern Beach Town."
When it announced the competition, Garden & Gun said, "For generations, beach towns have welcomed us for vacations, long weekends, and memorable family trips. It is in that spirit—and with the knowledge that we'll be back to these places soon—that we present the tenth annual Garden & Gun bracket: Favorite Southern Beach Towns."
To choose the 32 beach towns for the bracket, the magazine first went to readers via social media and in its Talk of the South newsletter asking for their favorite beach town. From there, the magazine whittled it down to the final nominees and then created the matchups.
"Over the next few weeks, through five rounds, you'll be able to vote for your favorite beach towns multiple times a day before a winner is announced on April 6," the magazine wrote. "So … start voting."
Garden & Gun is certainly not the first magazine to put Pawleys Island in the spotlight for best beach town. Southern Living named Pawleys Island one of the South's Best Beach Towns in 2019, saying, "Atlantic-facing Pawleys Island isn't far from such popular Grand Strand destinations as Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, but it's a quieter getaway, known for cypress cottages and those famous hammocks. There's no shortage of good food and drink, not to mention water recreation of every description. Beautiful Brookgreen Gardens is just a 10-minute drive away."
"Everyone on South Carolina's Hammock Coast knows Pawleys Island is a gem," Stevens said. "While beach towns from Virginia to Texas and from Alabama to North Carolina may be in the running for Garden & Gun's 'Favorite Southern Beach Town,' those of us who love Pawleys already know it is, indeed, the perfect nominee. It's been a favorite for generations, after all.
"For anyone looking for the perfect vacation spot this summer, Pawleys Island and South Carolina's Hammock Coast offer myriad opportunities and fun adventures — everything from kayaking and fishing to shelling and crabbing. Of course, our beaches are pristine, beautiful and uncrowded, making them the perfect vacation spots to soak up some sun."
