Over recent years there has been an increase in teaching of both palliative care and reflective practice in UK medical schools. The palliative care teaching at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine is multi-faceted and involves students writing reflective essays after individually meeting patients approaching the end of life during their final year general practice and hospital medicine placements. This paper draws on two studies examining this teaching element to analyse what the students found valuable about it and to comment on the practice of meeting patients and subsequent reflective writing.
Two studies have explored students' perceptions of these course components. The first was a thematic analysis of 234 reflective essays from 123 students written in 2007-2008, including examining what students wrote about the exercise itself. The second project involved a semi-structured questionnaire that students completed anonymously; this paper reports on the free text elements of that study [sample size =107]. Since similar themes were found in both studies, the coding structures from each project were compared and combined, enabling triangulation of the findings around what the students found valuable from the palliative care teaching involving meeting patients and reflective writing.
Overall, students reported that these components of the palliative care teaching are valuable. Four main themes were identified as aspects that students valued: (1) dedicated time with patients, (2) learning about wider elements of treatment and holistic care, (3) practicing communication skills, and (4) learning about themselves through reflective writing. Some students expressed a dislike for having to formally write a reflective essay.
It is possible to arrange for all of the medical students to individually meet at least two patients receiving palliative or end of life care. Students found these encounters valuable and many wrote about the benefit of formally writing about these experiences. Students reported finding this model useful in widening their skill-set and understanding of palliative care.
Teaching in palliative and end of life care has increased within British medical schools over the last 20 years [1, 2]. Once thought to be too difficult or inappropriate, students now routinely encounter the issues and practicalities of caring for people approaching the end of their lives, although the form and content of teaching varies considerably both nationally and internationally [3–5]. In the UK, the recently revised Association for Palliative Medicine national curriculum for medical student education recommends the main areas to be addressed, including: basic principles; physical care; psychosocial care; communication; social and family relationships; grief and bereavement; personal and professional issues; and ethical and legal issues . Each medical school is developing their own way of addressing the knowledge and skills that students will need when providing palliative and end of life care .
At the same time as the rise in palliative care teaching, there has been an increased emphasis on reflection within medicine. Reflective practice is considered a core element of professionalism  and the ability to reflect on one's own performance is now seen to be a crucial skill for personal and professional development. Reflection has therefore become an important element of the appraisal and revalidation processes . Self-reflection can take place in many different forms including one-to-one mentoring, small group discussions and written methods such as diaries, portfolios and essays and is increasingly being used in undergraduate medical education . Reflective writing is one way to incorporate reflection into medical teaching and has some advantages over face-to-face methods in that it is easier to administer and assess . However there is evidence that reflective writing is not of itself adequate to teach reflective practice: it has not been shown to improve the quality or level of reflection  though it may be valuable in other ways . Given the range of professional and personal issues that arise during encounters with patients approaching the end of their lives,  these instances provide a valuable opportunity for such reflective teaching.
Acknowledging the value of student feedback in appraising teaching methods and course content, [14, 15] this paper outlines students' views of the value of meeting patients and writing reflective palliative care essays at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, based on two studies conducted between 2008 and 2010. This paper outlines what the students found valuable and what some found disagreeable: it is hoped that this will inform similar curricular developments in other medical schools.
The University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine palliative care course includes reflective writing during the final year, arising from individual meetings with two patients approaching the end of their lives, during senior General Practice (GP) and senior Medicine placements. Prior to this final year, students have ten half day palliative care sessions covering symptom management, service provision, the needs of different patient groups, and ethical and communication issues. At the time of these studies, SB led the palliative care course component and RM led the professionalism component, which includes a focus on reflective practice; the other authors are not involved in delivering teaching on these components.
The objectives of this component of the course are: to enable students to have in-depth contact with patients near the end of life, to discuss these cases with tutors, to write reflective essay based on those patient encounters, to learn more about palliative care, and to develop reflective abilities. Assessment of the essays evaluates the latter three objectives. This paper outlines how one element of palliative care teaching at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine is addressing the main areas of palliative care through the use of patient encounters and reflective essays, and what students say they value, or not, from this teaching. Figure 1 depicts the palliative care teaching element that this paper is about: using encounters with patients as the basis for reflective writing in the final year of medical school.
In the autumn of their final academic year, students have an introductory lecture about the reflective essays, outlining the logistics of identifying and meeting the patients and the expected content and structure of reflective essays. The lecture includes an introduction to Glaser and Strauss' Awareness of Dying  and Kubler-Ross' On Death and Dying . Students are encouraged to refer to this and other literature in their written assignments as a way of linking theory, narrative, and medicine.
During their senior GP placement, their GP tutor identifies a suitable patient. A suitable patient for this teaching exercise is one who raises end of life care issues for doctors even if the patient and/or family may not raise these issues. These may include patients who have cancer, chest disease, dementia, heart failure, or stroke; they do not need to be in the terminal phase. Students then meet and talk with the patient on at least one occasion, usually in the patient's home. Afterwards, students discuss the cases with GP tutors before writing the GP-based reflective essay. During their senior hospital medicine placement students are asked to independently identify a patient to interview from the patients they meet on the wards. Small-group case discussions are held with hospital consultants prior to writing the hospital-based reflective essay.
Learning arising from this clinical encounter and reflecting upon it.
Each section is marked on a scale of 0 (inadequate) to 3 (excellent), with a marking grid illustrating what satisfies each of these categories (Additional file 1). A zero in any category results in the essay being returned to student for further work. Additional marks are awarded for originality, personal insight and clarity. The assignment is a required course component: submission is a requirement in order to proceed to the final examinations, although not counting towards these examination marks. Formative written feedback is provided; to encourage students to engage with the assignment, the top ten assignments for each placement are awarded University prizes.
During 2008 and 2009, two research projects investigated these reflective essays. This paper reports the themes identified in both projects regarding students' views of the benefits of the activity. The Clinical School supported both studies. Protocols were submitted and approved by the University Psychology Research Ethics committee. For the first study, students were invited at a year-group lecture to give their signed consent for their essays to be included in the research study; 123 (86%) consented and an independent data manager anonymised essays (116 from GP setting and 118 from hospital setting). In practice, the majority of those who did not give their consent are likely to be students who were absent during the recruitment session, although this cannot be ascertained because of issues of anonymity. For the second study, students were given a presentation about the research prior to commencing this teaching element and asked to participate; all 146 students consented to take part in the self-reflection questionnaire and 107 (73%) filled in an additional evaluation questionnaire at the end of this teaching component. For each study, each student was assigned a random identification number (ID), which are included with the quotes to demonstrate the breadth of the dataset presented. For both studies written consent was provided for the data to be reported anonymously; consent was not obtained for the sharing of datasets or the essays in their entirety. Qualitative data for both studies was managed within NVivo.
The first project was an exploratory study. By drawing on theories about socialisation  and hidden and informal curriculum , it examined how students were writing about their encounters. It involved thematic discourse analysis, conducted by EB, SB, and SC, of 234 reflective essays from 2007 to 2008. What students wrote about the exercise itself and informal observation of several teaching sessions were included in the analysis. Previous publications have examined these essays with regards to medical professionalism  and students' use the notion of denial . Both of these papers discuss how, through these encounters and essays, the students were engaging with their professional identities and future role as doctors.
The second project evaluated this reflective exercise by assessing self-reflection conducted by RM. In 2009, a quantitative questionnaire instrument  was administered to all 146 final year students before and after writing their first reflective essays to see if the exercise changed their level of self-reflection, data from which is to be reported elsewhere . To explore students' perceptions of self-reflection and the reflective assignment, RM designed an evaluation questionnaire (Additional file 2), which 73% of students (sample size =107) completed anonymously. This paper presents a thematic analysis of students' free-text comments from this evaluation questionnaire concerning their learning experience.
There was considerable overlap between the two qualitative datasets with regard to students' interpretations of the experience, with particular convergence around the aspects students found to be valuable. For the purposes of this paper, we examined the qualitative data to review what the students said they found valuable (or not) from this palliative care teaching element, which involved patient contact and reflective writing.
Coding for 'value' was a subjective, interpretative endeavour. Coding relied on categorising text based on students' use of language and assumptions about students' responses to teaching methods. For example, a remark about writing the essay as being time-consuming was interpreted as a negative remark, even if a student did not explicitly state that they did not enjoy the activity because of this. Within the second project, collating free text with the other aspects of the questionnaire was used to corroborate coders' interpretations.
Consequently, RM and EB discussed the two coding structures from each project, comparing the interpretive themes that each study had generated with this new research question in mind. The two coding structures from each project were combined using the groupings provided below, enabling triangulation of two qualitative data sources. The theme headings were derived from how the students labelled their learning experience. We have chosen to use these as they reflect what the students interpreted as valuable elements of the exercise. Coded sections were then re-checked by EB to ensure their fit within the new coding structure, including keyword searching for 'value' and 'valuable' of the original datasets, with some adjustments made. The purpose of this study was not to review if they were displaying reflective qualities in their writing, although educators on the course found having examples of this useful for future iterations of the teaching (see Discussion). The new analysis was presented to colleagues who teach on the palliative care course to elucidate their views and check appropriateness of the themes presented below.
"I have learned that each terminally ill patient's experiences and beliefs are unique to them and that palliative care patients cannot be 'tarred with the same brush'" (Study 1:57-GP).
"I am now aware of the large caseload of these cases within general practice and the importance of the GP's role in patient care…" (Study 1:89-GP).
"It was very useful to have a dedicated timeslot to have an in-depth conversation with a patient because as we move up the medical student ranks we tend to spend less time taking long, detailed histories and going into difficult issues" (Study 2:23).
Students appreciated the time and patient exposure the interview element of the exercise provided them.
"The necessity of a team approach and co-ordination between team members, [and] the need to support the carer" (Study 1:85-GP).
"It helped me realise that asking patients about their home life is vital for planning their care and discharge from hospital…[and] that it may be important to consult other health care professionals in the hospital setting" (Study 2:28-HP).
These were aspects of medicine that the students did not fully appreciate or articulate until they undertook this exercise.
Others found the exercise reminded them to see the patient in a more holistic view.
"It is often easy to focus solely on the patient's physical needs, such as pain relief, whilst ignoring psychological and existential issues, or simply provisions of home care packages and this is a lesson I will take forward into my foundation year practice and endeavour to apply as best I can" (Study 1:94-HP).
"to address the patient's mood and feelings even if the questions seem hard to ask, because undoubtedly the answers will be harder to say but extremely important in the holistic care of the patient" (Study 1:30-GP).
By being asked to consider the physical, social, psychological, existential elements, the holistic philosophy of palliative care was reinforced to the students. Through this they were able to understand how the different factors can impact a patient's experience and care.
"I learned some valuable lessons about my style of communication in a situation such as this, especially giving space for the patient to talk as they wish to" (Study 1:62-HP).
Students were able to identify specific aspects of their communication skills that they practiced.
"It provided an opportunity to speak to a compliant palliative patient in a safe environment" (Study 2:64).
"to talk about existential issues without being awkward about bringing it up" (Study 2:47).
"This is a very important lesson for me to learn, that is to use my communication skills training to good effect and tackle such breaking bad news situations with care and consideration" (Study 1:61-GP).
For some students, this was by far the most valuable element of the exercise and emphasised how the activity fit with other elements of their teaching.
"Through this reflective process you are able to identify exactly what you have learnt from an experience and to identify the gaping holes in your knowledge" (Study 1:82-GP).
"I have also learnt a lot about myself; which topics I find easy to talk about, which I find difficult, and have started to think about why" (Study 1:99-GP).
"It allowed me to reflect and better understand my approach to death and dying, and thus better prepared me to deal with similar situations I will undoubtedly face in the future" (Study 1:81-GP).
Students therefore found it beneficial to reflect on their own limitations and to think about their professional development.
"Writing this reflective piece has also been helpful as it made me think about the issues involved on a deeper level that I otherwise would have done" (Study 1:76-GP).
The reflective writing element of the exercise therefore allowed students to enhance the learning experience.
"The encounter was valuable to me. I didn't appreciate having to write a long essay about it. I don't think it has made me a more reflective person" (Study 2:35).
One student felt that having to formally reflect on their interactions with the patient "worsened" the experience (Study 2: 12). For some, the "coursework seemed contrived" (Study 2:13) and analysing the patient's life felt "artificial and unnecessarily intrusive", although they suggested that this may be a reflection on their unwillingness to analyse their own feelings (Study1: GP-23). These views were more prevalent in the free text element of the second research study than in the reflective essays themselves; four students wrote explicitly negatively about the writing element in the questionnaire compared to two within the essays. It is likely that students felt freer to express these views anonymously outside of the formally marked reflective essays, although these numbers are relatively small compared to the total sample size for each study. We have included these sentiments here as deviant case analysis, to acknowledge the range of responses to the activity, and to highlight what aspects some students did not find useful.
"I found the experience of meeting the patient very valuable, and it was useful to draw together what I had learnt in the essay afterwards. I think this will help the information and learning points to stick in my head" (Study 2:89).
Students also appreciated the exercise, describing it as a "privilege" (Study 2:37) because of the exposure it gave them to different settings and people. The combination of listening to patients and reflecting on their discussions allowed them to view the "human side of medicine" (Study 2:100). In spite of complaints about the practicalities of the activity, students overwhelmingly reported that they were appreciative of the exercise because of the breadth and depth of the learning it provided.
Final year medical students found it valuable to meet patients in the palliative phase of illness, and to reflect on these encounters, at times in ways that they did not expect. While an emotionally and clinically challenging task, most reported obtaining benefit as they prepared for their future role as junior doctors, in keeping with previous studies [13, 24]. The teaching faculty are able to arrange two such encounters for all students (approximately 145-165) each year. Although the exercise was primarily designed to develop students' knowledge, skills and attitudes in palliative care, the teaching team interpret the reflective element as adding value by encouraging students to think more broadly about patient care, their transition into becoming doctors, and how they related to dying and death.
Palliative care teaching has been increasing in medical schools within the UK and other parts of the world [5, 7, 25]. The findings from this study about what the students value about teaching in this area reflects findings from other research. For example, other studies have identified that students feel that teaching in palliative care helps them become and act as doctors, provides them with a holistic view, as well as providing stimulus to think and reflect, particularly about the personal and humanistic elements of care . Recent research suggests that teaching in palliative care can improve students' attitudes about the speciality . Students in several studies have acknowledged valuing the practical and experiential elements of teaching [26, 28]. Similar to the findings here, when it comes to reflective practice, students may find the writing element time consuming  and difficult to express emotions, suggesting that alternative and creative methods also be explored in teaching although these may be more complicated to assess .
Those who review the essays annually observe that students each year are able to demonstrate the range of depth of reflection described by Niemi . Generally, the most basic was diffuse reporting with unfocused description of the encounter. Others demonstrated objective reporting with only a descriptive account of what happened, but no evidence of reflection or how the experience affected them. Some demonstrated emotional exploration, giving evidence of the emotional impact of the experience with discussion about their own beliefs and values and how these have been challenged. Finally some achieved the greatest depth of reflective practice, committed reflection in which there was discussion of what had been learned, how it had affected them and how they feel that they have changed.
The activity described here is one way of incorporating reflective practice into medical education. As in other studies, it is not known whether the students were already naturally self-reflective and this was observed in their writing: they might have reflected on their experiences without the need for a formal reflective assignment . Of course, there is some concern about the extent to which students are truthful in their essays about their experiences and reflections, as students seek to write to fit assessment expectations . Quantitative data from the evaluation questionnaire, to be reported elsewhere, suggests that the reflective component of the assignment did increase the educational value of the clinical encounters . Others have concluded that the use of reflective writing assignments in undergraduate education needs to be part of a wider programme of teaching reflective practice that includes one-to-one mentoring and reflection in small groups [34, 35].
The findings of these studies have highlighted the aspects of the exercise that students found valuable: the consolidation of communication skills training in potentially challenging conversations, combined with the holistic approach of palliative care, was valued by many. The objectives of the teaching element have subsequently been expanded to address these new learning points. An expanded initial introductory lecture now includes information on the four levels of reflective practice outlined above  with anonymised quotations from previous students reflective essays illustrating each level. Teaching what critical reflection looks like improves student performance in these kinds of assessments . The central role of reflective practice in their future careers and annual appraisals is emphasised, as is the value of meeting patients and their family members on more than one occasion.
The findings have also been used to evaluate this course component, which has enabled the optimising of learning through insights not obtained from standard feedback surveys. When first introduced in 2007, the objectives of this teaching component were initially modest: now several years on, these have revised in light of the progress made and the research conducted, including asking students to think critically about any 'learning arising' from their encounters and reflections. As a result of these studies, students are now taught about what different levels of reflection and what they look like. Additionally, one future development will be moving the General Practice case to the fifth (penultimate) year, in a new longitudinal format in which students will revisit patients on several occasions throughout the year as students valued having this experience and ability to build up rapport with a patient.
As with any student evaluation, there are questions about the validity of the feedback to capture and assess the quality of the teaching . We have chosen not to rely solely on the text provided within the essays themselves, although this is the larger dataset, because we acknowledge that students may be inclined to write positively about the exercise in order to demonstrate reflective practice. Although not all students did this and some wrote negatively about the activity, as described above; however, more students wrote negatively about the activity in the second project where their comments were explicitly part of an anonymous course evaluation. However, due to the methods chosen for the individual projects, it is not possible to weight these comments across the study. Therefore, we are only able to report on the themes and variety within them, instead of ranking elements of the teaching experience in terms of value from the students' perspective. This study represents what students valued about the particular teaching element at the time of writing their essays/evaluations; it cannot provide us information on what values they attribute to the teaching as they progress in their careers. Lastly, this paper is reporting the teaching and evaluation of one medical school that has high entry requirements; what these students express as being valuable may not be representative of wider student populations.
The purpose of this paper was to describe and examine what students found valuable about the teaching component involving palliative care encounters and reflective essay writing at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine. It is possible to arrange for all medical students to individually meet and talk to patients who are receiving palliative care, in both general practice and hospital settings. Requiring students to write reflective essays about these experiences is one way to incorporate reflective practice into these encounters and to assess the learning gained from them. Most students described both the meetings with patients and the essays as valuable elements of their education, providing many learning points, including experiential learning about holistic care and communication skills. As to be expected, a minority of students reported to not value having to write reflective essays. The combined results of different studies that investigated the encounters and reflective practice from different perspectives was useful in identifying the key elements of the added value of this component of the Cambridge course.
We are grateful to all the students who permitted the use of their anonymised reflective essays in this study and responded to the evaluation questionnaire. We would like to thank James Brimicombe for his assistance with data management. All authors would like to thank the peer-reviewers for their detailed constructive feedback on previous versions of this manuscript.

Q: How to catch specific Exception in Python? I want to catch a specific exception and present a message rather than the exception raise and breaking the code.
The exception is:
The exception is: ICSharpCode.Decompiler.Metadata.PEFileNotSupportedException: PE file does not contain any managed metadata.
I know where in the code the exception raises and that I should wrap it with try-except.
I don't know how to "Import" the specific exception and then use it properly in the code
I tried to build the exception like this:
class PEFileNotSupportedException(Exception):
    def __init__(self):
        super(PEFileNotSupportedException, self).__init__

and then import it and use it like that:
   try:
       os.system(command)
   except:
       raise PEFileNotSupportedException("The DDL of this type are NOT supported!!!")

But it is not working.

A: try:
  # your_code_here
except PEFileNotSupportedException:
  print('Your message here')

This should be what you are looking for, assuming you have imported PEFileNotSupportedException
With regards to importing the exception, it should be inside a module and you can import it with the "import" statement.
EDIT:
from Module.Where.Your.Exception.Is import PEFileNotSupportedException

A: You could try and import the exception with:
from ICSharpCode.Decompiler.Metadata import PEFileNotSupportedException

try:
    do_something()
except PEFileNotSupportedException:
    print("Exception caught")

Next Week, Four New Slayer Playlists Will Be Released For "Halo Infinite"
GamesHalo Infinite
Next week, "Halo Infinite" will receive a Slayer playlist, which will include Slayer, Fiesta, FFA, and Tactical Slayer (SWAT).
While this first version may only give a "basic" playlist, a development update posted to the Halo subreddit revealed that there are plans to "bolster and expand with more variants in a future update."
"I'm happy to report that a Slayer playlist is officially locked and loaded for the update next week," 343i's community manager, Postums, told Halo fans.
"Four new playlists: Slayer, Fiesta, FFA, and Tactical Slayer (SWAT) will all be added via a services update on Tuesday, December 14.
"As I noted last week, the team's original plans for a Slayer playlist included a variety of new variants that weren't going to be ready in time to deploy before the holiday break. To address player feedback for Slayer in the near term, we'll be releasing a basic Slayer offering to start and will look to bolster and expand with more variants in a future update."
You wanted some playlist updates? We've got some coming next week!!! pic.twitter.com/zYjEme7lMW
— Postums (@343Postums) December 11, 2021
There's more, too, such as the promised adjustments to challenges and XP, though the complete information will be revealed: "on Halo Waypoint next week."
"Next week's update will also include adjustments to challenges including removing some particularly frustrating mode-specific ones, reducing some requirements for others, making the weekly ultimate challenge less intensive (getting it is tough enough), and adding brand new challenges specific to the new playlists," he added. "Personally I'm eager to check out a new challenge category that's based on accumulating player score (a small initial step towards 'performance-based XP')."
Players will be able to relive missions from the game's main campaign "later," according to 343 Industries. The narrative for "Halo Infinite" went live on December 8, just a few weeks after we got our hands on the game's multiplayer mode, which was still in beta form at the time. However, gamers have discovered that, due to the studio's unique open-world approach to the campaign, there are presently no possibilities for players to return to tasks they've already accomplished in the few days after debut.
The level chosen is "all part of this stuff that's being worked on [at] the moment," 343i explains, but the company can't yet "announce a date" for when it'll be accessible.

Man jailed for keeping disabled woman in a shed and selling her for sex
May 19, 2019 admin Disability, Disabled, Learning Disabilities, Mental Health, News 0
The pair advertised dates with the victim – who suffers from physical and mental disabilities – on Craigslist between August and September 2017.
Michael Welch (pictured) was sentenced to between five and 20 years in jail after pleading guilty to human trafficking and accepting earnings from prostitution
Co-conspirator and former girlfriend, Misty George (pictured) was let off on probation after she agreed to testify against her former boyfriend
The 29-year-old victim was kept in this shed near the couple's mobile home in Macomb Township, north of Detroit
Several of the dates fell through, but they took money from one man who twice paid to have sex with her.
Welch and George's crimes were only discovered when the victim managed to leave the mobile home park and speak with relatives who subsequently contacted authorities.
The victim initially met Welch and George when she rented out a room in their mobile home in mid 2017.
Welch and George had initially taken in the special-needs woman into their home (front right)
Couple arrested after selling mentally disabled woman for sex
She paid $360 in food stamps and $75 in cash the first month and was to pay $400 per month after that.
However, she was moved to the nearby shed when she forfeited on the rent that the couple demanded.
At the time of the couple's arrest it was reported that the victim was not allowed in the couple's trailer to use the restroom or shower.
Back in October 2017, Tracy Byers, a close friend and neighbor of Welch and George, told she was shocked to learn of the allegations against the pair, claiming that there had been no red flags that something suspicious was afoot.
'To find out that she was keeping somebody in a shed, how does somebody not know? I don't understand it,' Byers said.
Other neighbors said George herself was a woman with special needs and that her underemployed boyfriend had been living off of her disability checks.
The couple share a four-year-old daughter together.

U.N. Blames Israel for Shelter Attack
Aid Agency Warns of Dire Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
At least 15 people were killed, the Gaza Health Ministry said, after artillery hit a school which had been converted into a United Nations shelter.
Nicholas Casey

Updated July 30, 2014 7:31 pm ET
JABALIA, Gaza Strip—The United Nations blamed Israel for the second deadly assault in a week on a shelter for displaced Gazans and warned of a dire humanitarian crisis with many in the Palestinian territory already lacking electricity, potable water or safe refuge.
The strike on the U.N.-run shelter early Wednesday killed 15 people, according to Gaza health ministry. Hours later, Israel declared a brief, unilateral pause in the bombardment. As Palestinians used the four-hour window to stock up on provisions, explosions rocked a crowded Gaza City market, killing 17.

The carnage highlighted the desperate scramble in blockaded, densely populated Gaza to stay clear of the 3-week-old conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that governs the territory. More than 1,350 Palestinians have been killed, according to the health ministry. Palestinian and U.N officials said most were civilians.
The U.N. Relief and Works Agency, or Unrwa, said more than 200,000 of Gaza's 1.8 million residents are living in its 85 shelters. Many came after leaving home under Israeli warnings to evacuate combat zones.
Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have also been killed, including three who died Wednesday while uncovering a booby-trapped tunnel shaft inside a residence in southern Gaza, the military said. Three civilians have been killed by rockets fired into Israel.

The fighting this week has pushed living conditions in Gaza to a crisis point, according to the U.N. and international relief organizations. Israeli fire destroyed Gaza's only power plant on Tuesday, leaving much of the territory without electricity. The outage has disabled sewage pumps, causing waste to run in city streets. The fighting has also disrupted water treatment systems.
"Our shelters are overflowing," said Pierre Krahenbuhl, Unrwa's commissioner-general. "Tens of thousands may soon be stranded in the streets of Gaza without food, water and shelter if attacks on these areas continue."
About 3,300 people were crowded into the shelter at the Jabalia Elementary Girls School in northern Gaza when three blasts tore through the building just before dawn, leaving floors and mattresses in classrooms smeared with blood and strewed with children's shoes.
"Children were killed as they slept next to their parents," said Mr. Krahenbuhl. A guard at the school was killed.
Mr. Krahenbuhl condemned what he called a "serious violation of international law by Israeli forces."
Abdul Kader Al Khatib sat in the school courtyard nursing a shrapnel wound in his shoulder, barely able to speak. He said he had arrived at the shelter from Beit Lahiya, also in northern Gaza, after Israel's military warned him to leave his home, which was subsequently destroyed by bombardment.
"Now they have bombed me here," he said.

Unrwa's top official in Gaza, Robert Turner, said a U.N. team's study of shrapnel and craters at the school concluded it had been hit by Israeli artillery, fired from the direction of Israel.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said Hamas militants had fired mortars at soldiers in the area and "the soldiers responded by firing toward the origins of the fire." She couldn't confirm whether the soldiers had fired artillery, adding the strike was under investigation.
The Obama administration condemned the shelling but stopped short of blaming Israel. Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman, said Israel should take additional steps to avoid civilian casualties and that U.N. facilities shouldn't be targets.
The White House said it was extremely concerned that thousands of displaced Palestinians, who had been warned by the Israeli military to leave their homes, weren't safe in U.N. shelters in Gaza.
Israeli officials countered with finger-pointing at Unrwa. The military has found rockets stored at three U.N. shelters during the offensive and U.N. officials have denounced militant groups for placing them there.
"Unrwa, instead of condemning Israel should make a real effort to stop being manipulated and used by the terrorist organizations," Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said.
Israeli forces have fired on six Unrwa shelters this month, U.N. officials said. 16 people were killed on July 24 in the shelling of a school in Beit Hanoun that was sheltering hundreds, hospital officials said.
The military acknowledged firing a single errant mortar into the yard of that school, but said the yard was empty at the time and rejected claims that people were killed on the premises as a result. U.N. officials said the school was hit several times.
Israeli officials say their campaign, which began on July 8, aims to degrade Hamas's rocket arsenals and network of cross-border tunnels used by militants to infiltrate Israel and carry out attacks.
Without power to charge their cellphones or watch TV, many Palestinians got only limited information about Israel's four-hour humanitarian pause in the fighting on Wednesday, which a Hamas spokesman dismissed as a "media stunt."

Guy Inbar, a Defense Ministry spokesman, said Arabic-speaking Israeli officials gave two interviews—one on Palestinian Ma'an network, the other on BBC Arabic—explaining that the truce didn't apply to areas of ongoing combat. They specifically named Shujaiyeh, where the market was hit, as a no-go zone.
It wasn't immediately clear what hit the fruit and vegetable market and nearby fuel station, sending up a cloud of black smoke.
Among the dead was Rami Rayan, a journalist with the Palestinian Network for Journalism and Media. The network said he had been at the market shooting video of shoppers.
A spokesman said the Israeli military was investigating the explosion.
By Wednesday evening, the military said it had hit 80 targets in the Gaza Strip during the day and militants had fired 140 rockets at Israel.
It said the military's targets included five mosques used by Hamas to conceal weapons, tunnel access shafts and lookout posts. The military said it detonated three tunnel routes and hit a site being used by the head of Hamas's cyber division.
Palestinian officials said the homes of several large families were destroyed early Wednesday. The Health Ministry said 10 members of the Al Astal family in Khan Younis were killed by a strike on their living room.

Jackie Kennedy seems to be a source of endless fascination for the American public – from her iconic Oleg Cassini gowns preserved at the Smithsonian and countless biographies to 2016's Jackie, which starred Natalie Portman as the First Lady during the immediate aftermath of JFK's assassination.
With Jackie Unveiled, now making its world premiere at The Wallis in Beverly Hills, she gets the theatrical treatment with Mozart in the Jungle's Saffron Burrows stepping into her shoes. The production is a one-woman show and it wisely avoids setting its primary action around the well-trod days of Jackie and Jack Kennedy's romance, the "Camelot" administration, and the horrific day Kennedy was murdered. All of those moments are touched upon, of course, but in flickers of memory and flashback in a non-linear meandering through Jackie's mind.
The play is structured around two key moments in Jackie's life: the night her brother-in-law Bobby Kennedy was killed in 1968, and an evening in 1994 when a 60-something Jackie awaits a phone call from her doctor regarding her cancer diagnosis. From these two moments of crisis, Jackie struggles to deal with the moment at hand, while walking the audience through memories of Jack, her children, her parents, and more.
Playwright Tom Dugan constructed the play from a combination of interviews with Jackie's friends, innumerable biographies, CIA records, and more. But, ultimately, when setting out to construct the private emotional life of a woman who was notoriously private and obsessed with preserving a particular image (this is the woman who crafted the myth of "Camelot" after all), it can't help but feel that a lot of the more shocking details and utterances of the play are dramatic over-exaggerations to drive home a point about the grand tragedy of Jackie's life. Dugan plays with truth and the nature of public image throughout with varying degrees of success.
Early on, Jackie makes an astute comment about the benefits of hindsight, but even with this level of self-awareness, the play can't help falling into that trap. The audience's own hindsight is used to build tension and eschew more nuanced dramatic development. This is particularly notable in the first act when Jackie spirals in the hours following Bobby's death and comes to the brink of committing suicide. We all know she won't do it, so the dramatic thrust of that choice comes off as slightly overwrought.
Things really start to sing in the second act when we see an older version of Jackie – a woman who was more removed from the public eye. Without the burden of icon, we get to see who Jackie really is and sink into the more intimate tragedies of her life rather than those that feel ripped from a Greek drama. Dugan wisely leaves her recollections of Dallas and the assassination for this half of the action. While some of Jackie's jumps into memory where she plays both herself and her partner-in-conversation feel a bit stilted, here Jackie's story of Nov. 22, 1963 is a haunting journey through her emotional sense memory that packs a wallop as we near the play's conclusion.
The production is carried on the shoulders of its only actor – Saffron Burrows, kitted out in an over-the-top wig that looks like it's eating her head in act one and a silk headscarf that signals Jackie's cancer before she even opens her mouth in act two. Burrows is superb in the role, mastering the blend of strength and vulnerability that made Jackie Kennedy Onassis a compelling and mysterious figure in American history. With the assistance of costume and makeup, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Jackie, and though the signature Transatlantic accent is jarring at first, Burrows eventually slips effortlessly into it. Through no fault of her own, Natalie Portman could simply not overcome her movie stardom in Jackie – despite an excellent performance, you never could quite forget you were watching Natalie Portman do Jackie Kennedy. Here, that level of remove is absent. Burrows seems to channel the very soul and essence of Jackie. After the first few moments, her mannerisms, her posture, her mode of speaking, all of it makes you feel like the First Lady has been reincarnated here before you.

Milecastle 10 (Walbottle Dene) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. It is located near to the modern village of Throckley in Tyne and Wear, northern England. Much of the milecastle lies beneath a road but partial remains of the north wall can be seen in the garden of Dene House. It has been excavated several times and its walls located, though the remains have been "considerably damaged by ploughing". Only one of the two associated turrets has been located and excavated.

Construction
Milecastle 10 was a long-axis milecastle with Type IV gateways.  Such milecastles were thought to have been constructed by the legio XX Valeria Victrix who were based in Deva Victrix (Chester). The usually straight Hadrian's Wall changes direction in this area, making a 20 degree turn just before it crosses a Dene (valley) and heading towards the Great Hill at Heddon-on-the-Wall.

The milecastle measures  long north to south and  east to west with walls approximately  wide. The north gateway survives in the front garden of Dene House and consists of twelve foundation slabs with three stone blocks lying on top. One of the blocks is marked with an asterisk, two of them contain pivot holes for a gate and one shows signs of a lewis-hole.  The southern part of the milecastle is visible only as a 0.4m high mound in a field and part of the ditch is also visible.

Excavations and investigations
1864 – The north and south gateways were excavated, the centre of the milecastle lying beneath a road. The north gateway was found to stand two courses high and contained an entrance  wide.  A centurial stone was discovered that was inscribed with "c[entvria] Car...", this stone is now in the collection of the Black Gate Museum.
1928 – The milecastle was excavated by the North of England Excavation Committee. They uncovered part of the south west gateway which lay in a field to the south of the road. The excavation discovered that little remained of the east wall and found no evidence of any internal structures.
1966 – An English Heritage field investigation found that only the northern gateway remained visible on the surface.
1979 – Another English Heritage field investigation was carried out and recorded the foundations of part of the north wall.  The foundations were 6.4m long with three blocks of the first stone course still lying on top of them.
1988 – The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England surveyed and measured the milecastle.
1999 – The milecastle was excavated by P Duffy of Central Archaeological Services as part of an interim evaluation carried out by English Heritage's Centre for Archaeology.  Two trenches were put in to assess the state of the milecastle. The east and west walls were uncovered as well as some flagstone surfacing on the west side and an oven in the south-east corner.  The remains were found to have been "considerably damaged by ploughing".
2000 – An archaeological investigation was carried out on the vallum near to Milecastle 10 by English Heritage in September.

Associated turrets
Each milecastle on Hadrian's Wall had two associated turret structures. These turrets were positioned approximately one-third and two-thirds of a Roman mile to the west of the Milecastle, and would probably have been manned by part of the milecastle's garrison. The turrets associated with Milecastle 10 are known as Turret 10A and Turret 10B.

Turret 10A
Turret 10A (Throckley East) is located  west of Milecastle 10. The turret lies beneath the modern Hexham Road (B6528) and there are no visible surface remains but has been excavated in 1930 and 1980. The 1930 excavation could only examine the south-east corner of the turret.  It discovered that the walls were approximately  thick and stood five courses of stone high.  The entrance to the turret was in the south wall. The 1980 excavation, carried out before some nearby construction work, was more extensive and discovered just two distinct occupation layers within the turret.

Most of the pottery discovered in the turret has been dated to before 140 AD with just one sherd dating later than that. This places the turret's occupation to within the early period of the wall's life with little later activity, though there is no evidence that the turret was demolished after it ceased to be occupied. The excavation discovered that the walls consisted of a core of sandstone and clay surrounded by pointed mortar, with foundations of stone slabs set on clay. Extensive areas of burning and charcoal were discovered within the turret which could represent a series of hearths in the door threshold and along the north wall.  Other finds on the site have included a spearhead and four worked flints and a possible platform in the south west corner.

The 1980 excavation removed the floor of the turret to examine the underlying clay layer. Here they discovered a series of criss-crossed grooves in the clay that were vertical on one side and sloping on the other. These were identified as ard (plough) marks that were likely to date to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods and are certainly pre-Hadrianic. The excavation was later backfilled and the ard marks and turret sealed beneath the modern road.

Location:

Turret 10B
Turret 10B (Throckley) has not yet been located and there are no visible surface remains. Its likely position is under Hexham Road but excavations carried out in 1928 and 1983 failed to locate the turret.  The soil in the area contains burnt wood remains possibly associated with ground clearance for the construction of the wall in this area.

We can get Mercator points,
Show[CountryData["UnitedStates",{"Shape", "Mercator"}],
  Frame-> True, Epilog ->{PointSize[0.01], Red,
  Point[mercPoints]}]

But above code can't run, MMA 12 says Show: Symbol is not a type of graphics.
ListPlot[mercPoints] can works, so the point is well.
Any comments very be much appreciate!

A: Use GeoGraphics to do it the easy way:
$Version
GeoGraphics[
 GeoMarker[latlong, Graphics[{Red, PointSize[0.2], Point[{0, 0}]}]],
 GeoBackground -> "CountryBorders",
 GeoProjection -> "Mercator", Frame -> True]

(*  "12.1.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (March 14, 2020)"  *)

And if you want to calculate the grid coordinates, use
mercPoints =
  GeoGridPosition[GeoPosition[#], "Mercator"][[1]] &   /@ latlong;

Show[{CountryData["UnitedStates", {"Shape", "Mercator"}],
  Graphics[{Red, PointSize[0.0125], Point[mercPoints]}]},
 Frame -> True]

The first (easy) method is basically the same as this answer with a different background.  The second (calculation) method is an update of this one.

ASIS ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP
AETFA SA MEDIA STATEMENT 27 APRIL 2018:
ASIS ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP DETAILS RE THE MURDER OF THE BALIBO 5 IN 1975
The Australia East Timor Friendship Association of SA today released the following statement after the announcement by Paul Symon, the Director-General of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) that he intended to appear in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to put forward his organisation's case to stop the release of documents related to the 16 October 1975 murder by personnel of the Indonesian military (TNI) of 5 Australian based journalists in Balibo, East Timor: These men are now known as the Balibo 5.
"The statement by Paul Symon, the ASIS Director-General on 27 April 2018 that he would appear in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to prevent the release of the agency's documents related to the murder of the Balibo 5, is an indication that he will go to any lengths to attempt to cover up what ASIS knew about the murders of these men and the subsequent liquidation of about a third of the East Timor population by the Indonesian military (TNI) during its 24 year illegal and brutal occupation of that country.
Australians who believe in justice and human rights welcome the tenacity of Professor Clinton Fernandes of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Canberra Campus of the University of NSW who has been calling for the release of these documents for many years.
Mr Symon claims that this is a matter of national security. AETFA SA believes that this is totally untrue.
What he and the Acting Attorney General, Greg Hunt, are attempting to do is to prevent Australians from knowing to what lengths ASIS has gone to in the past to support cover-ups of crimes against humanity committed by the TNI in East Timor and West Papua and similar crimes committed by the Chilean military and the CIA in Chile in 1973.
Of course, the claim about dangers to Australian security were made by the former attorney-general, George Brandis, when he authorised the ASIS illegal surveillance of the Timor-Leste negotiating team during the early days of negotiations over the maritime boundary in the Timor Sea. What it was about was Australia trying to get a very unfair commercial advantage over our loyal WW2 ally and the poorest nation in SE Asia and had nothing whatsoever to do with national security.
In addition, the decision by Greg Hunt and Paul Symon means that they are prepared to oppose justice for the Balibo 5 and their families.
We are frequently told by the members of the current government that they believe in the rule of law, democracy and uphold human rights. Massive crimes have been committed by the TNI in Indonesia, East Timor and West Papua. These crimes are viewed by many human rights observers as being as serious as those committed by the Nazis during WW2.
Australians who pride themselves as supporting human rights, democratic rights and freedom want to know why our governments have refused to act against violations of these principles and, indeed, been willing to protect the perpetrators.
Fair minded Australians would support Greig Cunningham, the brother of Gary Cunningham, one of the Balibo 5, when he said that after 43 years the families are entitled to know the truth. The Balibo 5 and their families also deserve justice, as do the East Timorese and the West Papuans, who have suffered genocide at the hands of the TNI. The silence from Australian governments and our security organisations indicate that they have little commitment to the principles of justice, democracy or the rule of law.
When the history of the murder of the Balibo 5 is finally written, Professor Clinton Fernandes, and representatives of the Balibo 5 families, like Shirley Shackleton and Greig Cunningham, will be seen as heroes, and our political leaders and security personnel who aided and abetted the TNI will be seen as being extremely tawdry.
Australians need to ensure that our future political leaders will work for peace, justice and human rights in world affairs and to do this we will need to be an independent, free and non-aligned nation".

AT LAST SOME JUSTICE FOR TIMOR-LESTE IN THE TIMOR SEA BUT MORE NEEDED
AETFA SA MEDIA STATEMENT 8 MARCH 2018:
The Australia East Timor Friendship Association of SA today released the statement below following the announcement that agreement had been reached between the governments of Australia and Timor-Leste that the maritime boundary between the two nations will be the midline between their coastlines:
"The agreement signed by Agio Pereira for Timor-Leste and Julie Bishop for Australia is a truly historic occasion because, finally, the Australian Government has been forced to accept the principle of international law (the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS) in relation to the maritime border between the two nations in the Timor Sea.
However, it is not a proud moment for Australia, whose leaders from the beginning of negotiations on 2002, sought to cheat Timor-Leste, the poorest nation in the region that was still recovering from 24 years of brutal occupation by the Indonesian military (TNI) out of its fair share of the oil and gas resources in its half of the Timor Sea.
Later, the Timor-Leste Government took Australia to an International Court over allegations of ASIS (Australian Security Intelligence Service) spying on its negotiating team in 2005 and accused it of bullying tactics during the early stages of its Independence forcing the new East Timorese nation to accept an unfair deal.
Then in 2016, Dili took the maritime border dispute to the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) at The Hague. The International Court ordered compulsory arbitration between the two parties which has finally led to the current agreement. The response of the then Attorney General, George Brandis was to order an ASIO (Australian Security Intelligenc Organisation) raid on the office of Bernard Collaery, the Australian lawyer who was representing the government of Timor-Leste and to withdraw the passport of Witness K, a former Australian military intelligence officer, who became a whistle blower because of Australia's unfair treatment of Timor-Leste. Many international legal observers consider that these tactics were intended to pervert the course of justice.
These outrages followed the 24 years of aiding and abetting the TNI during its long and illegal occupation of East Timor. All of this has to be considered as a disgraceful and contemptible way to treat our valiant World War 2 ally whose people suffered greatly at the hands of the Japanese military for supporting Australia.
If Australia is acting in good faith, it should return the royalties for the resources that were removed from Timor-Leste's half of the Timor Sea to help it provide urgently needed humanitarian, rebuilding and development programs to build a healthy and viable nation in the future. Its people still suffer high levels of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, malnutrition, youth unemployment, illiteracy,and infant mortality.
While AETFA SA is pleased that the East Timorese have gained some justice with the signing of the treaty, it notes that there is still disagreement over how to share revenue from the lucrative Greater Sunrise oil and gas field in the Timor Sea which analysts have valued at between $40 and $50 billion. Timor-Leste wants a 70:30% split in its favour with processing being done in Timor-Leste. Australia wants to share profits with an 80-20 percent split in Timor-Leste's favour, but with oil and gas processed in Darwin.
AETFA SA would ask why Timor-Leste should only receive 70% or 80% of the revenues given that 100% belongs to them ? It would be much fairer for the Australian Government to offer 90% of the revenues to Timor-Leste and offer a high percentage of staff positions in the refinery industry go to East Timor engineers, geologists, technicians.
Don Rothwell, an expert in international maritime law at the Australian National University has said that the opportunity for a gas processing industry was "worth more to Timor than to Australia"- especially the dire struggle for independence against incredible odds. Surely Australian leaders could show some compassion and fairness to our struggling neighbour that faces so many challenges as it seeks to be an economically viable nation instead of continuing the mean minded treatment of a people who have been out loyal friends".

Battle of the Sexes is based on the true story of the famous Bobby Riggs/Billie Jean King tennis challenge of 1973, in which the aging and sexist hustler challenged not only one of the game's best female tennis players, but also its strongest feminist voice and is set at a time when sexism was very ugly.
"You're so equal, get on the court and face me," Riggs brayed. "Or get back in the kitchen!"
There are some faults on the facts of the story. But it aces the important things — the tennis and the politics and the people
The film is directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and stars Academy Award winner, Emma Stone, as Billie Jean King and & Academy Award nominee winner, Steve Carell, as Bobby Riggs

Government of Venezuela pays attention to social networks
By News April 4, 2021 Updated: May 12, 2021 No Comments3 Mins Read
At the beginning of last month, the National Assembly of Venezuela, with an official majority elected in 2020, approved the legislative plan for this year, which includes the Law of Social Responsibility in Radio and Television.
CARACAS – In Venezuela, the government of Nicolás Maduro announced its intention to regulate social networks, an issue that, according to specialists, has been part of the pending tasks agenda, after obtaining control over radio and television and the eradication of the written press in the nation.
According to the Minister of Communication and Information of Venezuela, Freddy Ñáñez, the executive is working on a project to regulate social networks, which would be presented soon before the National Assembly.
"We are about to raise a bill to the National Assembly regarding the update that will be made of the Law of Social Responsibility of radio, TV and electronic media to review the relevance that this law may have and the possibilities of strengthening it based on protect this right enshrined in our Constitution, not only to freedom of expression, "said the minister in an interview this week on Telesur.
For the director of the NGO Espacio Público, Carlos Correa, social networks in the country are, today, the last link to access independent information in an agile way, given the control that the government exercises over a large part of the media.
"The approval of these laws goes somehow through an onslaught from the government level against the possibilities of expression in social networks, expressing oneself in messaging mechanisms such as WhatsApp, which, without a doubt, is a strategy to further reduce the spaces in the that people can somehow communicate, interact, or organize to face the enormous challenges that exist in the country, "Correa said.
For his part, Tinedo Guía, president of the National College of Journalists, indicated that they are attentive to the reform of the law, but so far they do not know "what is the tenor" that it has.
"Any law that contradicts the constitutional postulate of the right to freedom of expression, to search for information and to transmit that information is obviously becoming an unconstitutional law, and consequently, does not benefit any of the people involved at all", Guide pointed out.
When Ñáñez made reference to the law, he mentioned a recent altercation with a social network. President Nicolás Maduro attacked the social network Facebook because they blocked a content published for a month.
"Facebook abusively removed my entire video from last Sunday from my page," he said. In a statement, the Venezuelan communication ministry assured that these were "acts of censorship" by a "new media dictatorship."
This law has been considered an instrument of prior censorship in Venezuela, as indicated by various situation reports prepared by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

Professor Longhair was one of the greatest, and most talented musicians to ever come out of the New Orleans music scene. The progenitor of rhumba-boogie and musical father to all who came after him, Fess' distinctive style was the result of learning to play piano on an instrument that was missing some keys. His original sound continues to spread around the world. A true original, he is the sound of Mardi Gras.


This is a list of films that certain cited sources believe are in the public domain in the United States . Being in the public domain refers to cinematic, dramatic, literary, musical and artistic works that no government, organization, or individual owns, and as such is common property.
Film copyright is actually a "package" of rights. A film can lose its copyright in some of those rights while retaining copyright in other rights. Expert attorneys in the field of public domain sometimes differ in their opinions as to whether a particular film is in the public domain.
Judges, too, differ in their interpretation of the laws governing copyright protection. The United States is a "patchwork quilt" of inconsistent copyright rules in different federal judicial districts. The courts of one jurisdiction are not obliged to follow the decisions of another. The U.S. Supreme Court (which could resolve those inconsistencies) very seldom decides copyright cases, and then only when an important principle is involved.
If a film appears on the list below, there is a high probability it has lost some or all of its United States copyright protection.
All are out of print. There is no cumulative Copyright Catalog for 1970-1977; the Copyright Office published 16 semi-annual Copyright Catalog booklets covering that eight-year period, but all are out of print and extremely rare. All copyright registrations from 1978 onward are online at the Library of Congress website.
Some films listed on this page were not registered, but it is unwise to presume an unregistered film is entirely copyright free without doing further research. For example, This Is the Army had no copyright registration, but it is a musical with several Irving Berlin songs, all of which were registered for copyright and renewed. The movie is shown on Turner Classic Movies, presumably with permission from the Berlin estate.
The United States copyright website catalogs all the works prior to 1978 that have been renewed.Several pieces of work have been renewed in the form of collections, thus giving the collection as a whole copyright protection.
For films registered in 1923-1963 inclusive, it is essential to know the renewal status. The semi-annual Copyright Catalog booklets have virtually complete (at least 99.99%) lists of renewals for the films registered 28 years earlier. Those semi-annual booklets all are out of print. However, there are reference books (see References below) that match copyright renewals with earlier registrations. In 1992, Congress changed the copyright law to make renewal automatic for copyrights registered in 1964 and later.
Many of the movies listed below are based on plays, novels, magazine stories or a combination of those sources. In some cases, a film's copyright has lapsed because of non-renewal while the underlying literary or dramatic source is still protected by copyright. For, example the movie His Girl Friday (1941), on the list below as a "public domain" film, is based on the 1928 play The Front Page, which is protected by copyright.

However, the Tokyo District Court ruled on 17 September 2007 that films by Akira Kurosawa remain copyrighted until 2036, arguing that an older pre-1970 law applies. That old law kept copyright protection for 38 years after the creator's death.

Bloedige Zondag (Russisch: Кровавое воскресенье, Krovavoe woskresenije) was een bloedbad op 9 januari 1905 (22 januari volgens de huidige, Gregoriaanse kalender) in St. Petersburg Rusland op ongewapende demonstranten die een petitie wilden aanbieden aan tsaar Nicolaas II. Het bloedbad was het begin van de Revolutie van 1905.

Het land was in oorlog met Japan en leed zware nederlagen in de Russisch-Japanse Oorlog. De weken ervoor werd er veel gestaakt. Ook deze zondag zouden velen bij elkaar komen. Het volk ging onder leiding van priester Georgi Gapon (1870-1906), een agent van het departement van Politie, de straat op. Hij was zeer charismatisch, en had een bijna naïef vertrouwen in de goedheid van de tsaar. De menigte van arbeiders, intelligentsia, vrouwen en kinderen marcheerde met kerkvaandels, afbeeldingen van de tsaar en iconen naar het Winterpaleis van de tsaar, destijds de officiële residentie, om veranderingen en verbetering van het lot van de boeren en arbeiders te bepleiten. Velen dachten dat de tsaar niet op de hoogte was van hun ontberingen.

Ruim honderdduizend mensen deden aan de demonstratie mee en de massa werd geconfronteerd met wegversperringen op alle belangrijke toegangswegen: bij Mytninskaja, aan de Nevakade, op het Vasilevski-eiland. Toen de grootste stoet ter hoogte kwam van de imposante façade van de Narvapoort, gebouwd ter nagedachtenis aan Napoleons nederlaag, viel een eskader grenadiers te paard van het Garderegiment de menigte met getrokken sabel aan.

Wat men niet wist, is dat de tsaar helemaal niet in Sint-Petersburg was. Hij was aan de vooravond van de mars, bang voor rellen, weggegaan uit de stad, had er zijn lijfwacht achtergelaten en was naar Tsarskoje Selo vertrokken. Drie dagen eerder, op Driekoningen bij de jaarlijkse zegening van het water, had het kanon van de Peter- en Paulsvesting met echte munitie geschoten in plaats van losse flodders af te vuren. Daarbij was een politieman met de naam Romanov gewond geraakt. Dit incident had de tsaar angstig gemaakt.  Wel stond derhalve een grote troep tsaristische lijfwachten klaar. De betogers riepen om de tsaar, en toen er geen reactie kwam begonnen ze nog meer te joelen en te roepen. De soldaten zagen dit als een potentieel gevaar en cavaleristen begonnen zich met hun zwaarden een weg door de massa te hakken en onaangekondigd begonnen de infanteristen te schieten. Officiële bronnen vermelden dat 130 demonstranten het leven verloren en 299 mensen gewond raakten; Lenin heeft het later over duizenden doden. Buitenlandse journalisten maken melding van niet minder dan 4600 slachtoffers. Die avond sprak Gapon tot de arbeiders: "De tsaar is door het volk vervloekt en niet alleen hij, maar al het addergebroed waartoe hij behoort, met inbegrip van de ministers en de plunderaars van dit ongelukkige Russische land. Dood aan hen!" De minister van Binnenlandse Zaken, vorst Pjotr Dmitrijevitsj Svjatopolk-Mirski, die begin 1904 Pleve was opgevolgd, trad als gevolg van het bloedbad af en de reactionair Dmitri Fjodorovitsj Trepov werd tot gouverneur-generaal van Sint-Petersburg benoemd. Trepov was een week vóór Bloedige Zondag, als rechtse hoofdcommissaris van politie van Moskou, afgetreden uit protest tegen Svjatopolk-Mirski's liberale beleid, waarbij een grondwet zou worden ontworpen.

Nicolaas II beschreef de dag als "pijnlijk en triest". De totaal gedesillusioneerde Gapon vluchtte met grote haast via Finland naar Zürich, waar hij Lenin ontmoette.

Míriam Martinho is a leading feminist journalist and LGBT activist in Brazil.
Míriam Martinho was born in 1954 and is one of Brazil's pioneering feminists and a leading figure in the Brazilian homosexuality movement. Feminism in Brazil became active in the mid seventies and in 1979, Míriam founded Brazil's first lesbian feminist group, Grupo Lésbico-Feminista. The group parted ways in 1981, but members who remained contributed to ChanacomChana, Brazil's first activist newspaper, started by Míriam. The publication is often described as the driving force behind the event that is often referred to as 'Brazil's Stonewall'. In August 1983, a protest was held against Ferro's Bar, known for its lesbian clientele, in São Paulo, because they refused to allow ChanacomChana to be distributed. Martin and Roth staged a demonstration, calling together artists, intellectuals and lawyers, to protest.
Since the 1990s, Míriam's activism has taken a focus on women's healthcare – particularly that of lesbians. As many lesbians in Brazil do not disclose their sexuality to health professionals, they are an at risk group.
In 2003, Míriam presented research for periodic review of the state of the LGBT population in Brazil. Her report was highlighted by the US State Department and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada in their evaluation. She has written numerous articles for LGBT and feminist journals since the mid 80s.

LibraryGate: NYT confirms crackdown on access to Presidential Archives 01/25/2015
LibraryGate: NYT confirms crackdown on access to Presidential Archives
http://www.uomatters.com/2015/01/bob-keefers-eugene-art-talk-blogs-about-friday-faculty-party-archives-gossip.html
1/25/2015: Rachel Donadio has the story in the NY Times, here:
… Every archival official knows that he or she would be safer" erring on the side of "denying access to documents." The problems are both bureaucratic and political. The slow-moving federal committee in charge of declassifiying state archive material has been renamed the Commission on State Secrets, and it sees its mandate as protecting them, scholars say. …
Others scholars offer tales of more recent closures. Mark Kramer, the director of cold war studies at Harvard, cites the abrupt closing, in September 2003, of material on Stalin's postwar foreign policy that had been available since the early '90s. "One day I was able to order files … and a couple of days later I was told that the whole opis" — or batch of material — "had been sealed and would need to be re-declassified," Kramer said in an e-mail message. "I was no longer permitted to see even the files I had pored over in the past." Similarly, James Person, an associate at the Cold War International History Project, which publishes material from former Communist countries, said that five years ago he consulted documents from 1956 concerning the Soviet relationship with North Korea; when he returned in March 2006, they had been reclassified.
But many researchers find imaginative side doors. "You don't give up because you can't get into the presidential archive in Moscow, which is still the holy of holies," James Hershberg, a historian at George Washington University, said of the former Politburo archive that contains the most sensitive material.
Oh, wait. This is from 2007, and it's about Russia's President Vladmir Putin, not UO's President Scott Coltrane. And so far has I can tell Putin has never demanded the return of "unlawfully released archives", threatened a professor for posting archived documents on the web and demanded that they be taken down, or put librarians or archivists on leave for making archives available to the public.
