This story was shared by Ms. K.M., and it's extremely important.
But first, some background…
Remember that state visit of the Chinese premier, Mr. Xi Jinping, to the United Kingdom in the autumn of 2015, and his quiet visit with the Queen? This, of course, preceded the BREXIT vote by about nine months, during which time we also saw that quiet little scandal of the British vice-premier invited to the Palace for tea and a quiet dinner, during which Elizabeth II apparently asked some pointed questions about what good being in the EU was doing Britain. As British tabloids and newspapers reported at the time, the Queen was not, apparently, as "sold" on Berlin's and Washington's grand "Europroject" as was once taken for granted. This too, preceded the BREXIT vote and the collapse of Mr. Cameron's government.

The Crystals – Then He Kissed Me (Song Review)
Along with Ike & Tina Turner, The Ronettes and The Righteous Brothers, The Crystals are perhaps the most well-known group to voice Phil Spector's compositions and arrangements. During their 1961-1964 stay at the famous and suggestively named Phillies Records (after executive Lester Still and Spector himself), the girls went through multiple line-up variations and confusions. The first few singles were fronted by member Barbara Alston: the label-inaugurator There's No Other (Like My Baby), Uptown and the controversial He Hit Me(It Felt Like a Kiss) (penned by Gerry Goffin and Carole King). Riding on the success of these compositions, Spector decided to release two more singles under the Crystals name despite not having anything to do with the actual group. He's a Rebel and He's Sure the Boy I Love were entirely performed by Darlene Love and the Blossoms – another Phillies group – despite the Crystals credit.

Q: Infinite wire: Symmetry of magnetic field caused by a cylindrically symmetric current Recall how we find the Electric field of spherically symmetric charge distribution, cylindrically symmetric charge distributions and also charge distributions with planar symmetry (infinite flat sheet), by Gauss's Law and arguements based on symmetry alone. This make me think that we can do the same in magnetism by using Ampere's law and symmetry alone. But I failed. So I would like to know if I have used the wrong method of arguments.
So take an infinite straight long current carrying wire as the simplest example. WLOG, let it be lying on the $z$ axis with current flowing in the positive $z$ direction. So using cylindrical coordinate system
$$\vec{B}(\rho,\phi,z)=B_\rho(\rho,\phi,z)\hat{\rho}+B_{\phi}(\rho,\phi,z)\hat{\phi}+B_z(\rho,\phi,z)\hat{z}$$
Now by translational symmetry along the wire, we conclude that nothing can have $z$-dependence. And by rotational symmetry about $z$ axis, nothing can have $\phi$ dependence. Hence
$$\vec{B}(\rho)=B_\rho(\rho)\hat{\rho}+B_{\phi}(\rho)\hat{\phi}+B_z(\rho)\hat{z}$$
Now if you flip the current upside down, $B_{\rho}(\rho)\hat{\rho}$ is unchanged. While it should have become $-B_{\rho}(\rho)\hat{\rho}$ because superimposing the flipped current and the original current gives zero current and therefore zero field.
Hence now we have
$\vec{B}(\rho)=B_{\phi}(\rho)\hat{\phi}+B_z(\rho)\hat{z}$$
Now here comes the problem: How to show that
$$B_z(\rho)\hat{z}=\vec{0}$$
I saw some people using Biot-Savart Law at this point, appealing to the fact that a current in the $z$ direction produce no $B_z\hat{z}$.
So is it possible to reach the same conclusion by using symmetry and superposition principle and Ampere's law only, without asking for help from Biot-Savart Law?
Similar issues arises in deriving the field due to an infinitely long solenoid. It seems that in addition to symmetry, superposition, and Ampere's law, we also need Biot-Savart law and Gauss's law for magnetism as well. I will post a separate question soon if necessary.

A: Here is one argument:
Draw a rectangle with normal pointing in the $\phi$ direction and not enclosing the line of current. Suppose the rectangle has height $h$ and ranges from $\rho = a$ to $\rho = b$. Since $B_\rho = 0$, the line integral of $\mathbf{B}$ around this rectangle is simply $h(B_z(b)-B_z(a))$, which must be zero by Ampère's law. So $B_z$ doesn't depend on $\rho$, since $a$ and $b$ were arbitrary. If we want $\mathbf{B}$ to vanish as we move infinitely far from the wire, then $B_z$ is zero everywhere.
Incidentally, I'm not sure I understand your argument that $B_\rho$ must be zero. To me the natural approach would be to use the divergenceless of $\mathbf{B}$.

A: For static fields this can be done using Amperes circuit law.
$$
\nabla\times\vec{H}=\nabla\times(H_\phi(r)\hat{\phi}+H_z(r)\hat{z})=-\frac{\partial H_z}{\partial r}\hat{\phi}+r^{-1}\frac{\partial (r H_\phi)}{\partial r}\hat{z}\overset{!}{=}\vec{j}=j_0\hat{z}
$$
And therefore by orthogonality
$$
\frac{\partial H_z}{\partial r}=0 \rightarrow H_z(r)=C \quad \forall r
$$
Enforcing a vanishing magnetic field infinitely far away from the current, a condition which every physically sensible solution should satisfy, one finds
$$H_z(r)=0 \quad \forall r$$
It shall be stated, that this analysis can be extended for a time varying current (and therefore fields) in the region of the current carrying media (in the cable), assuming ohms law applies there and the conductivtiy is non-vanishing. For this convert the circuit law to frequency space and replace $\vec{E}(\vec{r},\omega)=\frac{\vec{j}(\vec{r}, \omega)}{\sigma(\omega)}$. This does not work outside the cable where $\sigma=0$.

Irish take the honours as Falcons fail to take advantage
London Irish gained a psychological boost before Sunday's Tetley's Bitter quarter-finals by beating opponents Newcastle in the Zurich Premiership last night.
Watched by England coach Clive Woodward, Irish maintained their unbeaten home record at Reading's Madejski Stadium despite the absence of injured skipper Conor O'Shea.
They always held the upper hand but had to withstand some fierce Newcastle pressure in the closing stages.
With 12 minutes to go Newcastle did have a chance to level the scores, but Dave Walder's attempted conversion of Gareth MacLure's try sailed wide and the Falcons were never able to get as close again.
Life was not made easier for the Irish by referee Chris White's decision to show the yellow card to both Dinos Alexopoulous and Ofisa Tonu'u in a stormy second half.
Walder kicked Falcons in front with a third-minute penalty and then the usually reliable Barry Everitt missed with a penalty for Irish.
Everitt was successful with his next two penalties and then Irish drew further ahead when they were awarded a penalty try after Mark Delaney was pulled down by Newcastle just short of the line.
Another Walder penalty made the half-time score 13-6 to Irish then two second-half penalties from Everitt and two from Walder took the score to 19-12 before MacLure's late try and Walder's vital miss with the attempted conversion.
Irish are building a reputation as hard to beat at their Reading home and nearly 5000 fans urged them on as, for the second time in consecutive home games, they held out under intense pressure.
They will travel to Newcastle on Sunday confident that they can repeat the exercise.
l Bridgend coach Dennis John praised his squad after a 67-0 trouncing of bottom club Cross Keys kept them firmly at the top of the Welsh-Scottish League.
He said: ''We made eight changes to the side that played Caerphilly a few days earlier and the player who came in did an excellent job.
''It is the start of a make-or-break period with three games this week. It was important to win our two home games and we go to Llanelli in confident mood.
''The quality of the whole squad will be tested but we are becoming more competitive.
''The aim is to secure a European Cup place by finishing in the top five and I think we have a squad capable of doing just that.
''I was particularly pleased to see players like Steve Ford and Paul Williams making their first starts and doing well.
''Overall I was very happy with the result and the fact that we kept a clean sheet.''
Cross Keys captain Arthur Howarth said: ''I was disappointed with my display, having missed a few crucial tackles, but the spirit within the club remains high.'


The loss puts Canada's Super Round record at 2-1 with a match-up against host Panama set for Friday and a contest against the Dominican Republic on Saturday before bronze and gold medal games take place on Sunday.
Canada starting pitcher Connor O'Halloran (Mississauga, ON) got into trouble early loading the bases on an error, walk and single before a fielder's choice brought in one run while an error on the play by first baseman Cesar Valero (Calgary, AB) scored another.
The Americans used five hits in the second inning including a two-run single and an RBI double off the bat of Riley Greene to score four more runs and chase O'Halloran from the game.
Connor Sparks (Saskatoon, SK) took over for O'Halloran and ate up some valuable innings on the mound blanking the Americans for four innings before they scored four times with two out in the sixth including a two-run homer to go up by ten.
Tyler McWillie (Watrous, SK) registered four strikeouts working two and two-thirds innings in relief of Sparks.
Offensively, USA starter Avery Short held Canada off the scoreboard for six innings before Denzel Clarke (Pickering, ON) reached on a fielder's choice in the seventh and eventually came around to score on a wild pitch while Dasan Brown (Oakville, ON) doubled home Blake Buckle (Milton, ON) later in the inning.


North Korea's overseas restaurants, which the country uses to earn much-needed foreign currency, are feeling the effect of sanctions after the South Korean government asked its citizens to avoid them. As their customers vanish, the restaurants are having difficulty sustaining their profits, with some speculating that this is behind the recent defection of 13 North Korean restaurant workers to South Korea.
Young North Korean women swayed in time to the beat on the small stage, wielding their saxophone, accordion and electric guitar, their kitschy sequin dresses reflecting the spotlights that illuminated the stage.
It was 7:30 on a Friday night, and the five-piece band was playing a modern rendition of a traditional North Korean song at the Okryugwan Restaurant in Wangjing, northeast Beijing.
Opened in 2004, this is one of about 130 restaurants run by the North Korean government outside the country, 100 of which are in China, according to estimates. Apart from the nightly performances, the restaurants are also known for their dog meat dishes and young, pretty North Korean waitresses, dressed in colorful hanbok.
What many patrons don't realize, however, is that the restaurants are also one of North Korea's major sources of foreign currency. The South Korean government estimates that Pyongyang rakes in around $10 million every year from them.
But even in Okryugwan, the most famous North Korean restaurant in Beijing's Korean district, the effect of the sanctions against the country is taking hold. A Chinese cashier at the restaurant said they've been losing customers over the past few months. "South Korean tourists seldom come anymore, after - you know what," she said in a low voice, and winked when referring to the sanctions, apparently not wanting to bring up the sensitive word in a restaurant full of North Koreans.
North Korea conducted a nuclear test on January 6, followed by a series of ballistic missile launches on February 7, March 10, March 18 and April 9 despite wide international condemnation.
The United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed on March 2 to impose greater sanctions on North Korea. The sanctions order all North Korean imports and exports to go through thorough inspections and bans countries from buying a list of commodities from the country including coal, iron ore, gold and titanium ore. It also bans nations from supplying aviation fuel to the country that could be used for further tests.
As part of the sanctions, Seoul's Ministry of Unification - which deals with matters related to the Democratic People's Republic - requested South Korean citizens not visit North Korean restaurants.
"North Korea's commercial facilities such as overseas restaurants are one of its sources of foreign currency so the ROK government asks the Korean people to refrain from visiting such facilities during overseas travel," according to a statement on the Ministry of Unification website.
Many believe the harsher sanctions are one of the factors that led to the recent en masse defection of 13 restaurant workers from an overseas North Korean restaurant to South Korea. The incident, details of which are still unclear, is putting a spotlight on North Korea's overseas restaurants.
South Korean tourists used to be the main source of customers of North Korean restaurants in China's big cities. Li Zhengmin, an ethnic Korean who works as a freelance tour guide in Beijing, said visiting North Korean restaurants used to be one of the top things every tour group from South Korea wanted to do. "South Korean tourists feel nostalgic eating North Korean food and listening to Korean music. Famous folk songs like "Arirang" can almost always bring on a sing-along," he told the Global Times.
But over the past two weeks, all the South Korean tour groups he has led said they wanted to skip the kitschy restaurants. "It's never been like this before - their level of concern about North Korean restaurants is very high, and they fear that visiting these restaurants will bring them trouble," he said.
Jin Qiangyi, director of the Asia Research Center in China's Yanbian University, Jilin Province, said the situation of many North Korean restaurants in Yanbian is even worse. "Not just the South Koreans don't patronize them anymore, but Chinese people as well," he told the Global Times.
Jin said this can be partly attributed to the increasingly unfavorable impression people have of North Korea in general, and partly to the growing effect of China's anti-corruption campaign, which bars government officials from patronizing these usually pricey restaurants using public funds.
When the Global Times visited, the entire first floor of the Okryugwan was being renovated, and customers were guided to the second floor which used to be VIP boxes. Although a notice says the first floor will reopen on March 28, waitresses say it won't be open until next week due to construction delays.
Waitresses here push customers hard to buy the more expensive dishes. If you order a beef bulgogi, they will very likely, in their accented Chinese, ask you to try instead the steak bulgogi which is "more juicy" - and three times more expensive. If you order a plain fish stew, they recommend instead the 399-yuan ($61.7) sinseollo, literary the "immortal pot" which is a broth famously enjoyed by the Korean royal court which features sea cucumber, shrimp and meat balls. Taedonggang beer, the "pride of Pyongyang," is also a must try according to the waitresses, and is priced higher than all the Chinese and German beer on offer in the restaurant.
With their fair skin, elaborate make-up and charming innocence, it's sometimes difficult to refuse their requests. After repeatedly exchanging pleasantries and chatting with two middle-aged Chinese men by their table, one waitress successfully persuaded them to buy two bunches of plastic flowers, each costing an extortionate 100 yuan, and send them to the performers as a token of goodwill and China-North Korea friendship.
"If you're going for the sake of the North Korean girls, it's a must go. But if you're going for food, please consider twice," goes one review for a North Korean restaurant in Putuo district, Shanghai, on restaurant reviewing site dianping.com.
Professor Jin said these girls go through a screening process before arriving in China, and only those with the best appearance, artistic talents and political background are selected. "Many of them are the offspring of revolutionary heroes or party cadres," he said.
Experts say the sanctions are putting more pressure on North Korea's overseas restaurants. "They have this system that every year, the North Korean government would ask for a large chunk of money from their revenue. It's called 'loyalty money,' and it's a big burden. With the sanctions, it's very difficult for these restaurants to fulfill their targets," Jin said.
Many think the growing pressure might be one of the reasons for the recent defection of 13 North Korean restaurant staff who flew from China to South Korea. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang said in a press conference on Monday that the 13 DPRK citizens crossed the Chinese border with valid passports early in the morning of April 6.
A spokesperson for the North Korea Red Cross Society said the 13 restaurant workers were "kidnapped" by South Korea, and asked for the South to return the staff, according to North Korea's Korean Central News Agency.
The South China Morning Post reported that North Korea has now shortened the length of time that Korean restaurant staff spend working in China from three years to one year, and tightened selection criteria for workers.
Although the defection is sparking speculation that the tough sanctions might be working, experts say it is yet too early to make any prediction. "All of them worked in the same restaurant, influenced by one manager, so even though 13 people are involved here, this can only be regarded as an independent case," Lü Chao, director of the North and South Korea Research Center at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.
Professor Jin said this is the first case of defection after the sanctions, and more can be expected. But Jin also warns about South Korea's political motivation in revealing the defections - South Korea's 20th legislative elections started on April 13, and the defection of North Koreans is seen by some as a vote-winning tactic by President Park Geun-hye's Saenuri Party.
Apart from the restaurant workers, Seoul also recently revealed that two senior North Korean officials defected to it last year. "Many defections are actually kept under the table by both the South and the North. So there could be a political agenda behind South's decision to reveal these defections right before the elections," Jin said.
If this was the case, it was not an effective tactic, as her party lost the majority it held for 16 years, with domestic economic problems seeming to be the most important issue to voters rather than relations with the cousins in the North.
Experts also said the number of North Koreans who attempted to escape their country by crossing the Chinese border have dropped in recent years, a result of Kim Jung-un's tougher border controls.

Q: Why can't C# interfaces contain fields? For example, suppose I want an ICar interface and that all implementations will contain the field Year.  Does this mean that every implementation has to separately declare Year?  Wouldn't it be nicer to simply define this in the interface?

A: Others have given the 'Why', so I'll just add that your interface can define a Control; if you wrap it in a property:
public interface IView {
    Control Year { get; }
}

public Form : IView {
    public Control Year { get { return uxYear; } } //numeric text box or whatever
}

A: Declare it as a property:
interface ICar {
   int Year { get; set; }
}

A: A lot has been said already, but to make it simple, here's my take.
Interfaces are intended to have method contracts to be implemented by the consumers or classes and not to have fields to store values.
You may argue that then why properties are allowed? So the simple answer is - properties are internally defined as methods only.

A: Eric Lippert nailed it, I'll use a different way to say what he said.  All of the members of an interface are virtual and they all need to be overridden by a class that inherits the interface.  You don't explicitly write the virtual keyword in the interface declaration, nor use the override keyword in the class, they are implied.
The virtual keyword is implemented in .NET with methods and a so-called v-table, an array of method pointers.  The override keyword fills the v-table slot with a different method pointer, overwriting the one produced by the base class.  Properties, events and indexers are implemented as methods under the hood.  But fields are not.  Interfaces can therefore not contain fields.

A: Interfaces do not contain any implementation.

*

*Define an interface with a property.

*Further you can implement that interface in any class and use this class going forward.

*If required you can have this property defined as virtual in the class so that you can modify its behaviour.

A: Though many of the other answers are correct at the semantic level, I find it interesting to also approach these sorts of questions from the implementation details level.
An interface can be thought of as a collection of slots, which contain methods. When a class implements an interface, the class is required to tell the runtime how to fill in all the required slots. When you say
interface IFoo { void M(); }
class Foo : IFoo { public void M() { ... } }

the class says "when you create an instance of me, stuff a reference to Foo.M in the slot for IFoo.M.
Then when you do a call:
IFoo ifoo = new Foo();
ifoo.M();

the compiler generates code that says "ask the object what method is in the slot for IFoo.M, and call that method.
If an interface is a collection of slots that contain methods, then some of those slots can also contain the get and set methods of a property, the get and set methods of an indexer, and the add and remove methods of an event.  But a field is not a method. There's no "slot" associated with a field that you can then "fill in" with a reference to the field location. And therefore, interfaces can define methods, properties, indexers and events, but not fields.

A: Why not just have a Year property, which is perfectly fine?
Interfaces don't contain fields because fields represent a specific implementation of data representation, and exposing them would break encapsulation. Thus having an interface with a field would effectively be coding to an implementation instead of an interface, which is a curious paradox for an interface to have!
For instance, part of your Year specification might require that it be invalid for ICar implementers to allow assignment to a Year which is later than the current year + 1 or before 1900. There's no way to say that if you had exposed Year fields -- far better to use properties instead to do the work here.

A: Beginning with C# 8.0, an interface may define a default implementation for members, including properties. Defining a default implementation for a property in an interface is rare because interfaces may not define instance data fields.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/interface-properties
interface IEmployee
{
    string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    int Counter
    {
        get;
    }
}

public class Employee : IEmployee
{
    public static int numberOfEmployees;

    private string _name;
    public string Name  // read-write instance property
    {
        get => _name;
        set => _name = value;
    }

    private int _counter;
    public int Counter  // read-only instance property
    {
        get => _counter;
    }

    // constructor
    public Employee() => _counter = ++numberOfEmployees;
}

A: The short answer is yes, every implementing type will have to create its own backing variable. This is because an interface is analogous to a contract. All it can do is specify particular publicly accessible pieces of code that an implementing type must make available; it cannot contain any code itself.
Consider this scenario using what you suggest:
public interface InterfaceOne
{
    int myBackingVariable;

    int MyProperty { get { return myBackingVariable; } }
}

public interface InterfaceTwo
{
    int myBackingVariable;

    int MyProperty { get { return myBackingVariable; } }
}

public class MyClass : InterfaceOne, InterfaceTwo { }

We have a couple of problems here:

*

*Because all members of an interface are--by definition--public, our backing variable is now exposed to anyone using the interface

*Which myBackingVariable will MyClass use?

The most common approach taken is to declare the interface and a barebones abstract class that implements it. This allows you the flexibility of either inheriting from the abstract class and getting the implementation for free, or explicitly implementing the interface and being allowed to inherit from another class. It works something like this:
public interface IMyInterface
{
    int MyProperty { get; set; }
}

public abstract class MyInterfaceBase : IMyInterface
{
    int myProperty;

    public int MyProperty
    {
        get { return myProperty; }
        set { myProperty = value; }
    }
}

A: Interfaces in C# are intended to define the contract that a class will adhere to - not a particular implementation.
In that spirit, C# interfaces do allow properties to be defined - which the caller must supply an implementation for:
interface ICar
{
    int Year { get; set; }
}

Implementing classes can use auto-properties to simplify implementation, if there's no special logic associated with the property:
class Automobile : ICar
{
    public int Year { get; set; } // automatically implemented
}

A: For this you can have a Car base class that implement the year field, and all other implementations can inheritance from it.

A: An interface defines public instance properties and methods. Fields are typically private, or at the most protected, internal or protected internal (the term "field" is typically not used for anything public).
As stated by other replies you can define a base class and define a protected property which will be accessible by all inheritors.
One oddity is that an interface can in fact be defined as internal but it limits the usefulness of the interface, and it is typically used to define internal functionality that is not used by other external code.

Strikes by health workers in Wigan have forced bosses to abandon plans to outsource hundreds of porters, cleaners and other support jobs.
Unison and Unite union members across five hospitals had struck for nine days in May and June—and planned a further seven-day walkout.
Bosses at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Trust wished to outsource 900 jobs to solely owned subsidiary WWL Solutions Ltd. Their plans were the launch of a dangerous new type of privatisation threatening the NHS in England.
While the trust would have been the sole shareholder, they could undermine wages and terms and conditions as a stepping stone to full-blown privatisation.
Strike action by workers has scuppered these plans for now though we must remain vigilant.

[ARCHIVED] How one late teen escaped life on the streets
Recently a young woman just starting her adult life learned life on the street was not for her and one of our EPD Downtown Team officers was happy to intervene.
On Saturday, January 14, Eugene Police Downtown Officer Allison Jordan was flagged down about a 19-year-old in distress at the LTD Market Station. She located the young woman (pseudonym Abby) and found she had been transported to Eugene by some of her acquaintances, who then abandoned her without a phone, vehicle, or money. She only had a purse and a small bag with her and appeared disheveled. She told Officer Jordan she had never been arrested and had never had to sleep out on the streets. She never wanted to be on the street again after barely being able to sleep at a local shelter. Officer Jordan realized the experience had opened "Abby's" eyes and she was hopeful this was enough to motivate "Abby" and cause a big change.
"Abby" is originally from the Oregon coast area and had been asked to leave home due to her drug use. Her family was at their wits' end. Even though this had happened, Officer Jordan encouraged "Abby" to call her mother. The young woman provided the phone number to Officer Jordan, who then dialed up the mother and eventually also spoke to the grandmother. "Abby's" mother and grandmother were concerned for her safety and wellbeing. Despite the past behavior and drug use, they made a plan to purchase bus tickets for their family member with the caveat "Abby" would attend in-patient treatment upon arrival in her hometown.
"Abby" agreed to this and indicated she wanted to be home and to stop using drugs. She disclosed she began using cocaine recreationally before using methamphetamine. This was done as part of time spent with her "friends," when she felt pressured to do so, despite not really enjoying it. "Abby" also told Officer Jordan about the many unhoused people with mental illness and substance use disorder issues she had recently seen and she desperately wanted to prevent her life going in that direction.
Officer Jordan offered to give "Abby" a ride to the bus stop and then saw her off on her journey to a better place. Just a few days later, "Abby's" mother emailed Officer Jordan to report her daughter had made it home and checked into in-patient treatment successfully, and to thank Officer Jordan for a new start.


With each passing year, Sports Interactive iterates on the long-standing fundamentals of its Football Manager series. A slight tweak here and there: applying some ease of use adjustments, or tinkering with the 3D match engine like a manager moving pieces around a whiteboard. Some of these tweaks might not become evident until you've spent hundreds of hours entrenched in the virtual dugout, while others may only affect those eccentric enough to deploy a tactic featuring a Raumdeuter. In Football Manager 2018, minor refinements are similarly sprinkled throughout; but, crucially, there's also a significant new addition, and other impactful overhauls, that are palpable from the get-go, profoundly changing the way you manage and interact with your team on a daily basis.
The first of these is a new module called Dynamics that focuses on the topsy-turvy world of player morale. The concept of squad happiness has existed in Football Manager since the early days, but the cause and effect of your actions was previously hidden behind an algorithm we weren't privy to, which made managing your player's mood a case of pure guesswork and gradually learning through repetition. That all changes in FM 2018, as each interaction with your squad now has a clear, defined outcome that helps keep your chosen group of expensive primadonnas in check. A detailed hierarchy displaying your team leaders and most influential players advises you on who not to annoy; social groups determine which individuals sit around the breakfast table with each other based on parameters like their shared nationality and how long they've been at the club; and myriad other menus track your player's individual mood, their confidence in you, and the consequences all of these variables has on team chemistry.
A harmonious squad generally leads to better results on the pitch, with the team's collective mental state contributing to the quality of their positioning, vision, and reactions during the course of a match–making it imperative for you to maintain your team's high spirits if you have any notions of success. Football is a results-based business after all, and player power is definitely a factor in FM 2018. If the squad is displeased with how you're doing on match days, or how you're handling their various personalities off the pitch, you're liable to find yourself unemployed. Thankfully, with the addition of a hierarchy and social groups, there's a surfeit of valuable information guiding your decision making that helps you understand how to handle different types of player.
If a rugged team leader comes into your office complaining about a lack of playing time, you're going to have to weigh up the risks of introducing him to the starting line-up when he might be off form, or face incurring a potential player revolt if you turn him down and piss him off. Conversely, if a player on the lower rungs of the hierarchy comes to see you with the same issue, telling him he'll have to remain patient is less likely to upset even a small portion of the dressing room, and may not bother anyone at all. Admittedly, conversing with players in FM still lacks the subtlety of believable human interactions, but with all of this new information on hand, player reactions appear more logical than ever, and keeping influential players onside will ensure there are fewer unhappy players knocking on your door. It's a fun, personable new module to toy with, and it emboldens Football Manager's recent focus on the human side of the beautiful game.
Meanwhile, an overhauled medical center places an increased emphasis on Sports Scientists, with each one providing you with crucial information on how and why your players are suffering from injuries, and how you can counteract their pulled hamstrings and twisted ankles from occurring too frequently. If there's a busy period coming up where you've got, say, three matches in seven days, you'll be advised on which players are most at risk of sustaining injuries from the wear and tear of successive action. It forces you to be more proactive with your training schedules and player selection, as you're encouraged to adjust the intensity of training sessions on a week-by-week basis, and intelligently rotate your team in an attempt to keep your squad healthy without sacrificing results, (which also ties into Dynamics and how you can maintain squad harmony through frugal management of your team's playing time).
Dynamics also factors into FM 2018's improved scouting system. When it comes to finding new players, you're now able to set a scouting budget: spend more and you'll cast your net wider; spend less and you can rely purely on the existing knowledge of your scouts. However much you spend, the process of unearthing new talent is slow. Your scouts will gradually build a picture of the type of player you're looking at, represented by a rating out of 100 that covers their attributes and also the type of personality they are. A player might be good enough from the statistical side of things, but will they gel with your squad? Maybe they don't fit into any social groups, or maybe they carry too much influence and will risk upsetting the balance of your dressing room. These are the types of things you have to consider when signing a new player, and it makes each transfer window much more engaging.
AI logic has been modified, too, ensuring other teams are smarter at handing their transfer business. You're unlikely to see the likes of PSG spending ludicrous amounts of money to stockpile talent they're only going to leave rotting on the bench as has been the case in previous years. Transfer fees and budgets have also skyrocketed to reflect these astronomical times, with teams (particularly in the Premier League) holding out for more money for even the most marginal of talents.
When it comes to assembling your team on the pitch, the tactical interface is relatively unchanged. There are new player roles like the Carrilero and Mezzala, and more player instructions such as the opportunity to direct your central midfielders into wider areas–that give you more options when it comes to establishing your team's playing style. But it's disappointing that this aspect of Football Manager hasn't seen any substantial developments. Building your tactical plan is still far too rigid and restrictive, and would benefit from giving you more control over how your team functions, particularly during specific phases of play. The current tactical interface is serviceable, and there's now a plethora of useful analysis that pinpoints the strengths and weaknesses of your setup, but a more robust system would elevate this aspect of the series in a crucial way.
Once you emerge out of the tunnel, the 3D match engine is at least better at demonstrating how each team follows your tactical setup. Any adjustments you make mid-match are immediately tangible, and players have enhanced intelligence all over the pitch. You'll see strikers timing their runs behind the defensive line, players opening up their bodies to curl Thierry Henry-esque finishes into the bottom corner, and midfielders will generally play a more expansive brand of football–if you let them. There are still baffling moments where players will inexplicably stop dead in their tracks, which is particularly troublesome in defence. And goalkeepers are still inconsistent–one moment they're saving everything that's thrown at them, the next they're palming a daisy cutter into their own net. It's certainly not perfect, then, but the 3D match engine does continue its steady progression after a poor showing in FM 2016 and the same can be said of this series as a whole.
For a game that's so consuming you might not even realize the sun's gone down, it feels almost irresponsible to proclaim that giving you more things to do is a resounding positive. Yet the way these new and overhauled systems coalesce with Football Manager's deep and emotional fundamentals is fantastic. The series' propensity for telling emergent stories has only increased with this emphasis on player personalities and morale, and it bleeds into every other facet of Football Manager 2018's design, from transfers and injuries, to team selection and tactical considerations. These are changes that tilt the simulation closer to reality with captivating aplomb, and ensure that the armchair managers among us are kept busy for another whirlwind 12 months of 40-yard screamers and cup final heartbreak.


With the absence of studies on the economic and commercial impacts and benefits of ecodesign, and with the aim of filling the lack of management tools on economics and the environment, and in the context of providing the French and Canadian SME economic arguments, a study on the economic returns of the ecodesign was realized in 2008, It was a fruitful and enriching collaboration, between two partners: the Pole of Eco-conception and Management of Life Cycle of France and the Institute of Product Development of Canada.

The preliminary diagnosis tool is in the form of a web platform including a resource center for eco-conception to the downtown relay method and tool.
The preliminary diagnosis is distributed to resource centers to businesses whose purpose is the economic development of a region or a sector. It is a tool in the format of checklist based on the Pareto principle; it identifies eco-conception criteria that the company has not taken into account, has the potential for easiest improvement and probable first steps.
The aim of the tool is to educate the group projects to the concepts of life cycle and offer them the realization of an eco-conception in a second time.
Already transferred to more than fifty relay centers. The tool in its third upgrade is a multilingual platform. The Pole Eco-conception and Life Cycle Management trains a network of more of 52 relay centers through France, Belgium and Canada. Concretely, our association transfers methodologies like the ecodesign pre-diagnosis. The interest is to have a multiplying effect. To improve the support to the companies through the network of relay centers, we continue to develop and make studies and undertake research on our methodologies.
BtoGreen aims to support companies to seize the opportunities offered by the new green economic deal. It's based on sustainable development, and more specifically on the environment. The methodology helps companies build a new range of products and services making the environment their new source of competitive advantage through adding value and reducing environmental impacts.

Nicole Lamanna, M.D.: When a patient first presents with a diagnosis of CLL, I think obviously once they've established that diagnosis the most important things are really what are their blood counts, how is their physical exam, and do they have big and bulky lymph nodes or big and bulky organomegaly in their spleen and their liver?
When we talk about sophisticated tests, we talk about cytogenetics for FISH [fluorescence in situ hybridization] or their molecular mutational status, and there's always a question about whether or not these tests need to be done as soon as a patient is diagnosed, or whether this can appropriately be done prior to them initiating therapy. Now obviously, coming from an academic institution, I'm a little spoiled because we do this testing baseline. However, remember these tests do cost money and some of the peripheral blood testing for these patients can cost them potentially thousands of dollars. So I think when you have these discussions with your patients, if it doesn't change their current management—i.e., they're just going to be monitored because their blood counts are normal and they have no bulky disease—as long as the patient is comfortable with that, I think that's not unreasonable and obviously practical.
Clearly before anybody initiates any therapy for CLL, these tests do need to be done, because I think there have been much data, not just at this meeting but in previous meetings, highlighting the importance of some of this testing because therapy selections really need to be guided by the testing results. So when we talk about the cytogenetics or FISH, if the patient has a p53 or a 17p deletion, patients should be steered away from chemoimmunotherapy, unless it's chemoimmunotherapy that's on a clinical trial that combines it with a novel agent. Because they need a novel agent. I think there are a plethora of data suggesting that these patients need a novel agent such as ibrutinib or venetoclax-based therapy.
If their molecular testing reveals they're unmutated, I think there are very good data from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and others showing that patients who are unmutated also do less well with chemoimmunotherapy. And so for these kinds of tests, you do need to perform prior to somebody initiating therapy for their disease. And so I think that's an important question for the patients to ask their doctors.
In addition, individuals always ask about [CT; computed tomography] scans. Imaging is more routinely done than I'd like, than having FISH or their molecular testing done. I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a [CT] scan. But if it doesn't change your management, then doing one routinely is probably not necessary. I think if somebody has big and bulky lymphadenopathy on the outside on exam and you're concerned because of that or you're concerned that they may have a large, bulky abdominal or retroperitoneal mass, then it's not unreasonable to [CT] scan them at baseline. Otherwise I do tend to get one prior to initiating therapy.
So I do that prior to starting therapy because depending upon what agent you're going to give them, they may have a higher risk of tumor lysis, and you want to know their baseline with their lymph nodes or their organ involvement and how big they are. So I think those are probably the basic tests that should be done. Clearly as we get more sophisticated there will be more molecular testing that will become available, although right now we're not necessarily guiding therapy with that just yet. We could talk about NOTCH and other mutations that are emerging, but that is not standard of care just yet. So I think at the very least patients need FISH, cytogenetics, and of course molecular testing and a [CT] scan, which is not unreasonable. But whether you do that at diagnosis or right before starting therapy I think is a little bit up for debate.

Interestingly it seems to me it is you who only sees the win rate. When I do a lot of damage during a battle it is typically fun. I actually don't mind that much if it is won or not in the end because I have good play time doing damage. Frankly at the end I rather say to myself if I wouldn't be an idiot and avoided doing this and that mistake I could win it. It is a simple game of do it yourself or you don't have it. And you either like it or not.
Anyway if you can't do damage during battles you win, as you hint, but you are suddenly allowed to do a lot of damage it suggests to me that the other team was pretty bad too. Just 2 bad teams with one or two good players each side. It is quite a toss which side wins. Maybe if you would stop to farm unimportant tanks and took care of tanks which matter you would win more in these cases. But it is hard to pin point the actual reason, sometimes it is just like that, you do what you can, you have great game but you lose just because one player on the other side is tad better. The strange part for me is that you suggest you can't do damage during won games. It either suggests something wrong with your gameplay to me or your claims are exaggerated.

bet he's one of the guys who see the xvm 'chance to win' and give up at the start, and moan in chat about how poor his team is 'lost game' etc. turn off xvm and just enjoy the game.
tell me how to attach image here i show you now !! last 6 games in row loses !!! i push my self for a single win can you understand that ???
6 games is bad luck. You need to look at 600 games, better still 1000 games to eliminate the luck aspect.
i played this game 3 years and made 3 tickets.
2 i bought a prem tank and didnt get it....there was a delay and if i would now logg in and out it would be there.
I dont have any problems with Wg costumer service and all the mails i got where not auto generated but a actual person.
i have xvm and the only thing i see is red in my team all the time !!!
and none in the other team? ever?

Q: Perform git deep scan in order to compare files for real How to make msysgit to scan files for real changes?
Currently it seems to rely on file timestamps and therefore it makes mistakes: shows no differences where there are.
I tried git update-index --refresh and git update-index --really-refresh. Both commands exit immediately and do not seem to perform a scan and a binary comparison of each file in the tree.
A citation from another question:

Setting core.trustctime to false makes git ignore spurious changes to ctime, which apparently happens on some file systems. I need the opposite behavior: re-computing the file hash even when mtime hasn't changed.

A: First, you should try to find the root of the problem. Git's use of stat information (not only timestamp, but also size) is normally very reliable. If you are having issue with it, it most likely means you have something seriously broken on your system. Git will not be the only tool to be broken then (your backup system and your build system will most likely be, too).
You can try this (after reading the warning below):
rm -f .git/index
git reset HEAD

The rm command will obviously discard any information in the index, that is: all stat information that Git uses internally to avoid comparing files (what you expect), and any git add, git reset, information about unmerged files that you may have uncommitted in your index. This will not change any committed information, on the other hand. The git reset HEAD command will create a new index that matches HEAD, i.e. after this command, Git considers that you don't have changes staged in the index.
Git will restore the stat information (i.e. redo the whole file comparison) at the time of git reset HEAD, so this is a solution to tell Git "forget stat information now", to run after you break your stat information, but it is not a way to tell Git "never use stat information again".

A: One thing you can do is update the timestamp of all files to the current time; you can do this with find . -exec touch {} \;

improvising life – Ronalee Wear
Ronalee Wear. An intriguing combination. A highly skilled, detail-oriented dressmaker/ designer and crazy-free spirit who can turn the most surprising ingredients into something magical. Ronalee is constructing the costumes for Whim W'Him artistic director Olivier Wevers's new IN-spired piece Brahms and Tights (Jan 22-23 and 29-30 at Cornish Playhouse). She works as a costumer and interior designer on her own,
does real-estate staging for Toll Brothers (whose motto is "America's Luxury Builder")…
… and puts up holiday decorations with Visionart at the Space Needle, the Tulalip Casino and other businesses and private houses, among other activities. At any given moment she might be found hunched over a sewing machine, participating with her grown kids—Devin and Dakota Wear—in a medieval fair, or up on an 18 foot ladder, hanging garlands. She grew up here in Seattle, and her unusual background plays into her current pursuits with the lively serendipity on which she thrives.
At a young age, Ronalee says, "My mom taught me how to work a sewing machine and follow a pattern, but I never could stick to a pattern." Then from 2nd grade through high school, she lived with her eccentric dad who fostered and burnished her native ingenuity. Finding stuff in alleys or thrift shops to refine or re-purpose, thinking up wildly imaginative schemes, "He was," as she says, "super-creative." He taught her, by the way he lived, "what you can do with what you have, despite no money,"
At times things could be tough, but sometimes a check for $1000 for one of her dad's workshops might arrive in the mail . "He always made even bad stuff into a story."
If it snowed at 1 or 2 in the morning, he would get the kids up and take them out for a memorable walk. When there was only a rack of mismatched glasses and cups in the kitchen, he would ask, "How do you feel today? Like a goblet? A plain mug?"
No couch in the living room? He put together a pillow corner from discarded remnants the fabric store was about to throw ou.. And when the heat got turned off, he constructed big furry snugglies for his children—like blankets with their corners tacked down into sleeves—and called them "eskimo kimonos." Her dad died of AIDS when her son was 3 months old.
Ronalee maintains that growing up she never thought of their situation as poverty,
but instead was excited by all the occasions to be risen to with ingenuity and humor. When they couldn't afford art supplies, she learned to use the phone book for paper. Years later, raising kids of her own, she has been reluctant to buy pre-made stuff.
Birdhouse Ronalee made in honor of her father, who started out as a Kansas farm boy.
The theme of design improvisation has run like a brightly colored thread through Ronalee's career. Teaching lunchtime art as a volunteer at Meany Middle School in recent years, she was at first struck by how the students were afraid to make mistakes. She told them, "What's hardest is to make a mark on blank paper." After that, she exhorted, "Just make it work, change your mind. It's not selling out—it's creating something new." When she worked at Steven's school, the kids concocted all kinds of crazy shapes of birdhouses to sell at a school benefit auction. In another project they concocted bugs. She and her friend Tracy Krauter had them to bring in things from their junk drawers and garages and contributed stuff of their own—hinges, beads, broken doorknobs and asked them, "What can you see? You don't have to have a plan."
With this sort of background, it's not surprising that Ronalee had no formal schooling in design, but has always been learning all her life. How something is constructed continually fascinates her and she perpetually asks questions, wanting to know what she can add—to her own store of knowledge or to the project at hand. As a child, she did tiny stuff, designing and making clothes for Barbies. Since there was no money for buying stylish clothes, she discovered garments at Goodwill to take apart and remake, thus finding out all sorts of tricks to how high-end clothing was constructed.
Later, when she moved to the East Coast, looking for work and knew how to sew, she was taken on as a stitcher with a dressmaker in Hyannis on Cape Cod, who was also self-trained. Wedding gowns. Dresses like the Vera Wang ones so popular at the time, with white pure silk, and 80 yards of tulle. It was all a bit intimidating, but Ronalee learned more skills, of cutting and designing.
All that questioning and hands-on training stood Ronalee in good stead after she came back to Seattle and went to work as a stitcher for costumer Doris Black, costuming the Seattle Men's and Women's Choruses, Specrum Dance, and numerous other theatrical groups in the region. There was a lot of "period corsetting work," she notes, "very detailed."
costumes for Spectrum school dance concert
The connection to Whim W'Him came about through dancer Tory Peil, who was a Spectrum company member and taught for the school, where Dakota Wear was taking classes. Tory assisted Dakota in dealing with her hyper-extension and helped her to find her center—physically and psychically—becoming a mentor to her encouraging her to continue in dance, which she has done. In return for Tory's kindness to her daughter, Ronalee has made burlesque costumes for Tory.
"That is a particular sort of design," she says. "The pieces must look flashy but be extremely sturdy, staying on when they should, then coming off at exactly the strategic moment." Here as always Ronalee experimented—"and learned a lot about different kinds of snaps."
In the performing arts, it's the creative process, of rehearsing, of constructing costumes, that she likes best. For Brahms and Tights, Olivier wanted layered garments and intense colors—yellows, lime and an elusive sea-blue/turquoise—and Ronalee is just the person to provide them.
Much of the material and ready-made pieces come in white, so Ronalee has been thinking about colors as she combines them and piece them together, ready to be dyed, courtesy of the Pacific Northwest Ballet costume shop.
Whoever said Brahms was somber or dark…?

'Pow! Zap! Bam!' Collectors set to fight over $275,000 Batmobile
A fully road worthy Batmobile is the star of the Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale event this weekend, hosted by Auctions America by RM.
The Batmobile was built as a promotional vehicle for Warner Brothers' 1995 movie Batman Forever, which starred Val Kilmer.
The car, which goes under the hammer on Saturday March 5, has a Chevrolet V8 engine, fiberglass body and a custom built tubular chassis.
The body mould cost a reported $2.5m but the car has a high end estimate of $275,000, a price tag that may well interest classic car investors. Its current owner acquired it in 2007 for $297,000.
Batman memorabilia is a big favourite with collectors: the Batmobile from the 1960s Batman television series sold for $223,000 in February 2007 while last year the Batman costume worn by Michael Keaton in the 1992 Batman Returns achieved $44,800.
The pride of Gotham City could be yours for $275,000
The auction will also feature a rare 1963 Shelby Cobra CSX 2080 and a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Convertible once owned by Howard Hughes. It comes with a top end estimate of $140,000.

Transportation engineers are taught that as demand for travel goes up, this decreases not only speed but also the capacity of the road system, a phenomenon known as hypercongestion. We revisit this idea. There is no question that road systems experience periods in which capacity falls. However, we point out that capacity is determined by both demand and supply. Road construction, lane closures, stalled vehicles, weather, and other supply shocks provide an alternative explanation for the empirical evidence on hypercongestion. Using data from the Caldecott Tunnel in Oakland, California, we show that a naive regression recovers the standard hypercongestion result in the literature. However, once we use instrumental variables to isolate the effect of travel demand this effect disappears and across specifications we find no evidence that capacity decreases during periods of high demand. This lack of evidence of hypercongestion calls into question long-standing conventional wisdom held by transportation engineers and implies that efficient "Pigouvian" congestion taxes should be substantially lower than implied by hypercongestion models.

Class War in Michigan
Sorry, this media item is no longer available or fails to load.

Paul Jay,
Frank Hammer: GOP Governor and State legislature pass law weakening union rights.
PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay in Baltimore. And welcome to this week's edition of The Hammer Report with Frank Hammer.
Frank is a longtime trade unionist. He's also an adjunct faculty member in labor studies at the University of Indiana and Wayne State University, former president of the United Auto Workers local at the GM Powertrain plant in Warren, Michigan. Thanks for joining us, Frank.
FRANK HAMMER, COFOUNDER, AUTOWORKER CARAVAN: Thank you, Paul.
JAY: So lots happening in Michigan. What are you going to start with?
HAMMER: Oh, we're having an all-out assault on Michigan's working class. We're having an all-out assault on the urban centers in Michigan. We're having an all-out assault on education. It's a general—if there was ever talk about class warfare, we are seeing class warfare.
JAY: Alright. Well, start with the legislation that's—may even be passed this week, if I understand it correctly.
HAMMER: It will likely be passed as soon as tomorrow, unless thousands and thousands and thousands of people are going to be in Lansing there to protest its passage. And I know that President Obama is at this moment speaking at a diesel plant.
JAY: Okay. Just to be clear on our days, we're recording this on Monday, so when you say "tomorrow", you mean Tuesday. But people are likely going to be watching this on Tuesday. So we'll say today, 'cause—. Anyway, Tuesday is when the big protest is coming, and you think that it's going to be [crosstalk]
HAMMER: Tomorrow, unionists will be turning out from all over the state, and their supporters, in Lansing tomorrow, because tomorrow is when it looks like the Senate, I think, will pass its version, or if they've already passed their versions, they will reconcile them and get them to the governor's desk in a real—you've never seen government work so fast, actually.
JAY: So what's—first of all, what is in this legislation that's so objectionable?
HAMMER: The legislation will require employers to get rid of their contractual agreements that provide for required membership in the union at a particular business location, so that—it's called the union security clause, and it stipulates that if you're enjoying the benefits of union representation, that currently you're obligated to be a member, and you're obligated to pay at least that portion of your dues that pay for the representational services that your union provides. That is now—by the virtue of this law, is going to be declared voluntary, meaning that even though I may benefit from my union contracts and my union representation, that I don't have to pay for it. I can—.
JAY: Well, isn't there a counterargument to this, in this sense, is why shouldn't unions be able to get voluntary contributions from members? And if they can't, does it mean that the members are feeling that the unions aren't doing a very good job?
HAMMER: Well, there's definitely two sides to this coin. It used to be, once upon a time, that the representation in a plant, the representatives, the plant representatives, would actually have to go around and collect dues every month. That used to be our history. And as you can imagine, that's very timestaking and so on. But the benefit of it was that it certainly kept the representatives close to the rank-and-file, and you had to be able to get that voluntary support.
And then it went to a system-of-dues check-off, which provided for the employer to automatically collect the dues and send them over to the union, so the union could continue to receive dues income without the necessity of going out and soliciting union dues on a routine basis. So the downside, of course, is that once you have this dues check-off, it's inherent in that system to begin to take the membership for granted and their loyalties for granted. And various unions have done that to one extent or another. I've certainly seen it done in my own union. And sure enough, over the weekend on some of the talk shows you had UAW members on a talk show saying, you know, I think this is right because this gives us more control of the union and whether it represents us or not.
And of course the employers are exploiting that sentiment. But they don't really care whether the union is really servicing the workers or not. They're basically out to reduce its power, and this is the way they're doing it. And they're doing it drawing on the sentiments of workers who feel that the union leaderships more often than not take them for granted and don't really make it a union of, by, and for the membership.
JAY: Now, how does it get to a situation where a state like Michigan, where—you know, almost the home of modern industrial unionism, that unions are so weak that they can't resist this?
HAMMER: Well, we're the—apparently, we're the fifth-highest unionized state in the U.S., so yeah. And they're saying, you know, if you can pass right-to-work in Michigan, then there's no state that's safe. I think that historically speaking—I can only speak, mostly, for the auto industry—that what once used to be a very muscular UAW that had 1.5 million members nationwide today has been reduced to less than 400,000. And unfortunately, the unions—my union still acts as if it's 1.5 million members, but it's actually 400,000. So the power is no longer there, and it has to—they're faced with the task of rebuilding this power to slip through our hands. How has that slipped?
JAY: Well, no, let me ask, how is this legislation going to affect the autoworkers union?
HAMMER: Well, the way it's going to work: first of all, if it's passed, it will go into effect next March. The current contractual agreements are grandfathered, so that for autoworkers, for example, at the Big Three, our next agreement will be opened up in 2015. So for the next few years you will not see any effect at all. Other contracts (for example, at parts suppliers and so on) that expire between now and then, each time a contract expires, the new contract that takes its place will remove that feature of the union security clause. So it'll be—you won't see it overnight; it'll be gradual. And in the case of the Big Three, we'll see [incompr.] only having its impact in 2015.
JAY: And how much is this [incompr.] targeting public sector workers?
HAMMER: There's legislation for both the private sector and for the public sector. The only unions that are exempted from this change are the firemen and women and the police. All of the—.
JAY: And in Wisconsin—. Sorry. Go ahead.
HAMMER: No, but all other unions are subject to it, whether in private sector or in the public sector.
JAY: Now, they tried to do that in Wisconsin, but the police union and the firemens' union actually joined the protest and said, you know, you may be exempting us. We oppose all of this. What would have been the attitude of police and firemen unions in Michigan?
HAMMER: I'm sorry to say I'm not familiar with where their stand is right now. I don't know.
JAY: Okay. Alright. Go on.
HAMMER: I would hope that they would follow their wonderful example in Wisconsin, both the police department's and also of the fire union. The fireworkers union was fabulous.
JAY: Okay. So that's what's happening on the legislative front in terms of union shops. You were saying something's happening at the level of cities and—when you were talking about class war in Michigan.
HAMMER: Correct. The election in November 6 had a number of resolutions and proposals. And, by the way, the proposal that preceded this move to right-to-work was Proposal 2, which had attempted—the union movement in Michigan tried to place in the Constitution permanent protections for collective bargaining rights. And that was defeated 57 percent to 42 percent.
JAY: So let's just—just to be clear on this, this was a resolution that would have strengthened trade union rigths in Michigan, and it lost. And I read an interesting statistic that apparently more people voted against this resolution than voted for Obama in Michigan, that in other words a lot of Michigan voters that voted for Obama voted against this resolution to strengthen trade union rights.
HAMMER: Yeah. I think, if I remember, Flint and Detroit are the only locations where it was voted in support of. There are many theories about why it was rejected at the level that it was. Part of the theory holds that some of the no votes were actually people voting no on all of the proposals regardless.
But there are in fact—I mean, one of the problems that this highlights is that even within union households there was significant opposition to Proposal 2 and to the collective bargaining being permanently entrenched into the state constitution. So it didn't have solid support within—even within union ranks.
JAY: And why do you think that is?
HAMMER: I think that partly it may have been viewed as an overreach by the unions, partly because maybe the notion of collective bargaining is so abstract to workers that they maybe did not understand quite how that works in our behalf, in our favor. So I think people will be getting to the bottom of that over this next few months, because I think that's an alarming statistic, that not even—that barely a majority of union households supported it.
So to come back to the other question that you asked about the cities, in that same set of elections, in the proposals, there was also a proposal that won that overturned a particularly draconian law enabling the state government to impose emergency managers, emergency financial managers, over the cities that are in financial difficulty. What it turns out is that the cities in question now where this was imposed—and, by the way, this was also imposed on educational systems, but in—the cities that it was imposed on are all majority-black cities—Benton Harbor, Pontiac, Detroit (that is to give you three examples). And there was a tremendous effort, grassroots effort, to overturn the law that enabled the state government to do this. It was successful. And sure enough, within a matter of days, the legislature, which incidentally is totally controlled by the Republicans, including the governor's office, including the Supreme Court, are now rewriting that law. And in the meantime the city of Detroit has been threatened that within 30 days we will be under an emergency manager, which here in the neighborhoods we're calling emergency dictatorship law.
JAY: So in spite of this opposition, they're just passing another piece of legislation to do it.
HAMMER: Correct [incompr.] defying the will of the people. And I just want to point out that none of this sounds very ordinary or normal to me. The state, in passing these right-to-work legislation (I'm going back to that), they did it within a day, and the customary hearings and debates and discussion is all thrown out the window. And there was such a stealth operation that attached to the legislation for the right to work is an appropriations section. And what they did by attaching an appropriations item onto the bill is it makes it—it shields it from being overturned into a public referendum. So not only are they saying, oh, you're really going to like this, but we're going to make sure you like it, because we're going to make sure that you can't undo it. And—.
JAY: Alright.
HAMMER: Go ahead.
JAY: Sorry. Finish off, Frank.
HAMMER: It was such a stealth operation that they actually had big tents for Americans for Prosperity—a Koch-supported group, I believe—filled the galleries in the chambers where these legislation was being enacted, so that no opposition could appear in the public galleries to express their dissent.
JAY: Okay. Well, we're going to continue doing regular reports with Frank on class war in Michigan. Maybe that's what we should call your segments, Frank. Thanks for joining us.
HAMMER: Thank you, Paul.
JAY: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

Reissue of Vulcano's Bloody Vengeance coming on May 18
by David Rosales on May 9, 2015
Greyhaze Records is set to unearth Bloody Vengeance, the 1986 full-length debut from Brazilian death metal pioneers Vulcano. Formed in 1980, Vulcano is thought to be the first band from Brazil, and possibly South America, to play extreme metal. An early influence for the likes of Sepultura and Sarcófago, Vulcano's primal blend of black, thrash and death metal sparked a flame that quickly spread across the mid-80s underground metal community.
Bloody Vengeance is being reintroduced to a new generation of metalheads. Fully remastered and restored, the album is accompanied by a DVD that features a live performance from the 1986 Festival Da Morte. Greyhaze Records will reissue this cult classic as a six-panel digipak CD/DVD on May 18.
Vulcano will celebrate the reissue at this year's Maryland Deathfest. The MDF set will be the band's first-ever live performance on American soil. With no other U.S. dates in the works, MDF XIII looks to be the only chance to experience the madness that is Vulcano north of the equator.
Bloody Vengeance is available at store.greyhazerecords.com.

This sounds promising. Short reminder: a few weeks back Century Media reissued Pyrexia's "Sermon Of Mockery". It includes the "Liturgy Of Impurity" demo and the "Hatredangeranddisgust" EP.
Richard Head says:
Oh my. Thank you for alerting me.
Nathan Metric says:
Wow that was an amazing album. Arguably better than Sarcofago.
I'll have to take issue with anyone that says this is better than Sarcofago. Vulcano is pretty good metal of its time, but Sarcofago and Sepultura were revolutionary at their peaks. I can imagine death metal and black metal sounding the same if there was never a Vulcano or a Sextrash or a Chakal, but those genres might never have developed if not for the two biggest Brazilian bands of the '80s.
Caveat: Every band mentioned in this post is excellent and worth listening to. Sarcofago and Sepultura are just more influential and innovative.
kazoo says:
First war metal album
Jinn says:
Cover design looks like something from South Park tho
This is a re-mastering from the actual vinyl. I heard it and it sounds really scratchy and no where near the sound quality of the original. Be warned.

These photos are amazing! Are any of these taken with an iPhone? I'm still astounded by the quality of those cameras; it's kind of hard for me to tell the difference anymore!
it is that time of year to be cozying up!
Bonnie, I really really love your 'lately' posts! They make me know you more in your personal life and that just makes me love you more and more! You're such a sweet girl :) And high 5 to the phrase - drinking coffee like it's my job!
Oh goodness. How cute are those kitty nails!
i would be in that sweater every day too!
It honestly looks like a dream come true to be living in New York. And wearing knits must just be divine there.
Love this post, those nails are so cute!
Que fotos tan bonitas! Creo qu tienes un don con la fotografía!
To tell the truth, I'm super jealous that New York is getting chilly. You get to wear all those lovely sweaters and knit layers! I definitely can't wait for sweater weather around here, especially if I can find some sweaters that are as cute as the one you have on in that first photo. While we're on the topic of cute, how sweet is the photo itself? You're just too much adorableness!
Oh and speaking of lovely fluffy knits and layering and whatnot, there's nothing like thick, fluffy socks for keeping the toes warm in the freezing mornings.
On those cold mornings that are sure to be present, there's nothing better sounding than some hot coffee and maybe some deliciously seasonal cupcakes. Mmmmm....need I say anything else?!
That inspiration board at Nanette Lepore's studio is all sorts of fabulous. I want my own now!
Thanks for this little glimpse into your life!
