Haiti's Prime Minister Tells VOA His Government Hopes for Constitutional Change
Proposed amendment would allow dual citizenship
Washington, D.C., March 28, 2008 - In an exclusive interview, Haiti's Prime Minister, Jacques-Édouard Alexis, told the Voice of America (VOA) that his government was working to enact a constitutional amendment to allow dual citizenship.
"The President and I are concerned about the way we deal with people who hold dual citizenship and the perception that could create in the Haitian Diaspora. We are going to work on an amendment that would solve this problem once and for all," Alexis said.
The Haitian constitution, which was enacted on March 29, 1987, bans dual citizenship holders from voting or holding high political office. Haiti's Senate recently expelled two of its members for dual citizenship. The proposed amendment would re-enfranchise members of Haiti's large Diaspora.
The Prime Minister also announced the creation of a commission to investigate current citizenship status in accordance with the law.
"In a letter I sent to the Senate, I told the Senators about the creation of a commission that will investigate the citizenship status of all members of my government and other senior officials," said Alexis. He added, "If there are members of my government whose citizenship status violates the constitution, I will take the necessary action."
The Prime Minister was interviewed while in Washington for a two-day visit, during which he met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and prepared for a donors conference that will take place in Haiti on April 25.

Pixelmator is hands-down one of the best image editing apps for both Mac and iOS. Today, the company released an update to Pixelmator for iOS (version 2.1, US$4.99) that provides support for many of the features built into iOS 9.
To start with, the app now supports multitasking on iOS 9 through Split View and Slide Over on the iPad (see image and video above). There are also Open in Place and Save to Photos capabilities, but one of the big features is the ability for the app to open and edit 8K resolution images -- those images are up to 50 megapixels in size, but the app can handle them with ease on the iPad.
With full iCloud support built into both Pixelmator for iOS 2.1 and Pixelmator for Mac, it's simple to move seamlessly between platforms when editing photos. You can start working on the Mac, then pick up work on the iPad or even an iPhone while on the go.
For five bucks, Pixelmator for iOS is an incredibly powerful tool that those of us at AWT think everyone should own. If you already have it, try out the new features in the update; if you don't and you do any image editing at all, get it now.

Nick Torres leads the team in scoring with 19 goals, followed by Xzavier Torres, who comes off the bench for the Bullpups. The midfield has supported McPherson as well, led by Ryan Horton, Dylan Blosser and Dylan Babcock, with depth from Cole Krizek.
Adrian said the Bullpups are heading into a tough stretch in the schedule, facing opponents such as Rose Hill, Junction City, and Buhler.
"The guys have some pretty high goals this season, every game they're looking to get better," Adrian said. "It's nice to beat a team 8-0, 10-0 but we've got to play good when the other teams come around. Our guys play better against those teams, the better the other team plays, the better our team plays."
Northwest struggles — Northwest coach Bobby Bribiesca knew this year's team would be vastly different from last year's undefeated state championship team. And still, the team started 5-0.
"We're not as good as last year, but we have a big heart, good character and I tell the team 'sometimes the will to win is better than the skill to win,' and that's what brought us through the first five games," Bribiesca said.
Since that fast start, Northwest has lost to Kapaun, Carroll and Northwest. The game against Carroll was Northwest's first loss at home in four years.
Bribiesca said every game is difficult for Northwest this season, because teams are motivated to beat the state champion.
"We go into every game thinking our opponent is a very good team, because a lot of times when you beat Northwest that means your season," Bribiesca said. "Every team that plays us, even if they're 0-16, it's not an easy game."
The Grizzlies have depended on senior defender Jake Carter for leadership. The defense, with goalkeeper Hayden Johnson, has held opponents to six goals this season. Andres Lleras leads Northwest's offense along with seniors Caleb Mills, Nick Cramer and the rest of the midfield.
High competition — According to East coach Dylan Gruntzel, the increasing popularity of soccer has contributed to the parity in the Wichita area.
"Wichita soccer is kind of starting to grow. Five or 10 years ago it wasn't the most popular thing to do, kids would rather play football," Gruntzel said. "The talent is growing and it's spreading out through the city and the surrounding area, so every game you show up to you have to be ready."
Kapaun began the week in first place in the City League. However, East stopped Kapaun Tuesday with a 2-1 victory.
Derby entered the coaches' state rankings this week at No. 7, but fell to Northwest 4-1 on Monday.

Translate.com Exposes Highly Sensitive Information in Massive Privacy Breach
How would you feel if your letter of resignation were posted online? Or sensitive parts of your employment contract? Or details of that M&A deal you have been working on with an investment bank? Thousands of people are about to find out unless translate.com fixes its website and gets in touch with Google to delete what must be millions of indexed pages containing highly sensitive data.
Translate.com's website offers a free machine translation service powered by Microsoft Translator. Because the site's highly coveted domain attracts heavy web traffic, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of unsuspecting users looking for quick machine translation found their confidential data exposed on the internet.
The massive privacy breach was first uncovered on September 3, 2017 by Norwegian news agency NRK, which reported that employees of state-run oil giant Statoil had "discovered text that had been typed in on [translate.com] could be found by anyone conducting a [Google] search." Their reaction: "Wow, what is this?"
Anyone doing the same simple two-step Google search will concur. A few searches by Slator uncovered an astonishing variety of sensitive information that is freely accessible, ranging from a physician's email exchange with a global pharmaceutical company on tax matters, late payment notices, a staff performance report of a global investment bank, and termination letters. In all instances, full names, emails, phone numbers, and other highly sensitive data were revealed.
"Wow, what is this?"
An expert contacted by NRK further uncovered "plans of workforce reductions and outsourcing, passwords, code information, and contracts."
NRK contacted translate.com, which explained that "they openly state that all texts being sent to the company in order to improve the quality of the translations." NRK further quotes translate.com's support team as saying, "Some of these enquiries were indexed by Google, so now we offer a simple solution for those who wish to remove these translations when they appear in a search engine."
As the news spreads across Norway and other Scandinavian countries, companies began to react, with the Oslo Stock Exchange blocking access to translate.com and, interestingly, Google Translate.
Confidential information exposed. Redactions by Slator
Translate.com likely feels protected from legal challenges because of a clause in the fine print of its Terms & Conditions stating that while they "will use reasonable measures to protect any content you provide to us for the purpose of completing the Services," they "cannot and do not guarantee that any information provided to us by you will not become public under any circumstances. You should appreciate that all information submitted on the website might potentially be publicly accessible."
Who is behind what must be among the language industry's top five domain names? Back in December 2015, we published a brief history breakdown of the domain name translate.com, which was first registered in 1996. It changed hands twice — and in both instances, it was bought by language service providers: Benemann Translation Center (later acquired by RWS Polyglot in 1998) and ENLASO Enterprise Language Solutions in 2004. The domain name's current owner, Chicago-based Emerge Media, purchased it in 2012.
Slator's most recent coverage on translate.com was a VP hire in January 2016. The VP confirmed they were on a recruitment drive and planning to launch an enterprise website, but there are no apparent developments on that front as of yet. The VP has since left the company.
Emerge Media CEO Anthos Crysanthou has been described as a domain investor who appears to "flip" domains for a profit or try to build a business out of them. Some of the domains the company owns include:
Podcasts.com – a collection of podcasts
Directions.com – supposedly a hodgepodge of GMaps and Tripadvisor; currently down
Bands.com – the domain is down; supposedly for music
Information.com – very nebulous information organizer with some major sections down
Womens-health.com – tried to do the usual women's online magazine format but has since pivoted to become a women's forum, possibly so it can stay afloat with user-generated content and organic traffic
MuchGames.com – online game directory like Y8.com
Slator reached out to Emerge Media for comment but has not received a response as of press time.
The breach highlights the need for the language industry to ensure that customer information is kept secure and confidential, a recurring concern in industry marketing material, sales pitches, and client discussions.
Any organization and individual should review if confidential information has been exposed and take measures accordingly.
Update: In a blog post dated September 6, 2017, translate.com attempts to justify the breach by pointing out that "there was a clear note on our homepage stating: 'All translations will be sent to our community to improve accuracy' and that 'some of these requests were indexed by search engines such as Google and Microsoft at that time.'" Finally, they say that people can request for translations to be removed by emailing support@translate.com.

Si's cycle around the Conference League is about to begin
Footie fan will travel 10,000 miles for York City
by Tom Henry
Sat, Jul 04, 2009 10:37
York City fan Simon Hood is just a few weeks away from a cycling challenge that would put any round-the-world rider to shame – riding to every one of his team's home and away games this coming season.
While others meander through stunning desert landscapes and soak up the atmosphere in exotic cities, Simon will be peddling his way to locations including Eastbourne, Kidderminster and Barrow-in-Furness in hottish pursuit of his beloved team.
He's looking to raise as much money as possible for the Alzheimer' Society – a disease which claimed both of his grandfathers – and is also planning to write a book about his experiences across 10,000 miles of unglamorous British roads over the wintry course of a single season in the Conference League.
Simon is giving up his job as a production co-ordinator for a company that builds film and TV sets and is to dedicate 10 months to the project.
"I haven't trained much at all," he admits. "I went to Brittany a couple of months ago with my girlfriend and I cycled there, but that's been about it so for. But I have done the Land's End to John O'Groats ride and I didn't really train for that, either. I mean, I went up on to the Yorkshire Moors a couple of times but I just sort of knew that I could do it, and I did. So I know this will be hard, but I'm pretty sure I'll get there. I will be walking in Corsica in the next two weeks – using all the muscles I won't need on the bike!"
Currently living in London, Simon has the luxury of being able to use his dad's flat in York when he comes up for home games, and he has friends dotted around the country who have offered him a sofa for the night.
"The adventure side of it – never being quite sure where you'll end up and what will happen next – is all part of it. Connecting with people on the way is very important and it will be a strong element of the book, too."
York City Council has offered Simon some sponsorship and he's also had interest from various cycling-related companies, including Carradice and Michelin, who have offered him equipment.
The season's fixture list has just been announced and Simon has been scanning it eagerly, working out how many days he'll need between fixtures to get to matches – particularly when the team plays on a Saturday and then again midweek.
"Eastbourne looks like it's the furthest to travel," he said, "but I think I've worked out a way of getting there from York in time. Luton in September is going to be tricky because it's my sister's wedding at that time and I have to find somewhere to leave my bike in Luton overnight."
There are also cup games to consider. "I'll try to get to FA Cup games," he said, "but, erm, I'm not sure how long we'll last in that trophy so I'll have to wait and see! I'm certainly committed to all the league games, so I'll just see how the cup ties work out."
Road.cc will be following Simon as he sets off on his journey, and if you want to follow him on Twitter, join his Facebook group or simply see what he's all about, visit his website at www.bicyclekicks.co.uk

"Striking It Rich"
Memo To: John Cassidy, The New Yorker
From: Jude Wanniski
Re: Bubbles on Wall Street
You know, John, that nobody is a greater admirer than I of The New Yorker these days, with David Remnick at the helm. You also know I admire your work as a financial correspondent, at least when you stick to micro economics, i.e., writing about companies, industries and executives. Your long essay in the January 14 issue, "Striking It Rich," unfortunately, is another of your attempts to write macroeconomics into the ups and downs of Wall Street over the last several years, which you describe as "the rise and fall of popular capitalism." There is a great deal in the article that I found interesting, and I do look forward to reading your new book, Dot.Con when it is published next month. But I must tell you that every time I read an article about why the market is irrational, I automatically assume the author does not have an analytical framework that allows him to see the rationality of the markets. In other words, if the market goes up higher than you think it should be, you think it is a "bubble," and when it falls sharply, it is simply the bursting of the bubble. Your readers deserve better than Cassidy blowing bubbles at them. I did read the article twice, first assigning it a C-, but edging it up to a C for its micro content.
As you know, John, I believe I have the best analytical framework in the world, and if I found one better I would plagiarize it, but if you cited my forecasts, your bubble theories would have to fold. My only "bad call" in 23 years was in December 1999, when I believed there would be only a 20% chance that the Y2K "bug" would have no effect on the markets. My excuse then was I had to use a government number for prospective chip failures that was 20 times higher than it turned out to be. Otherwise, here are the "bubbles" you cite in your article that I have resolved with rational explanations:
1. The Crash of 1929 was not a bubble bursting, but Wall Street's correct assessment in the last week of October that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act would pass into law, which it did in June 1930 with President Herbert Hoover's signature. You can read this in detail in my 1978 book, which I think I sent you, The Way the World Works.
2. You correctly note the Reagan bull market began on August 12, 1982, when the DJIA came off its low of 776.92 and climbed to finish that year above 1000. You say it occurred because Fed Chairman Paul Volcker cut the funds rate by half a point on August 13, and the DJIA did rise a few points. It wasn't the rate cut, though, that sent the market skyrocketing from August 16 on, but the Fed's decision to bail out Mexico on August 15, a Sunday, which injected $4 billion of liquidity into the banking system, sending the price of gold up $56 that week! The 1981-82 deflation ended, just as I had advised Volcker it would if he could find a way to buy enough bonds to lift gold from its lows around $300 earlier in the year. You can read about this in Bill Greider's book, Secrets of the Temple. Gosh knows why you would credit the dinky rate cut when you also note Volcker had tried that route twice before in the previous month with no appreciate effect. The biggest casualty of the week was Monetarism, as from then on the Federal Reserve stopped targeting the monetary aggregates. A more accommodative monetary policy joined with supply-side tax cuts to produce the Reagan boom. You've been here from the British Isles for almost ten years, John. You should know this.
3. You note "The crash in October, 1987, shook the public's growing faith in stock-market investing, but it didn't break it. In August 1989, the Dow passed its 1987 peak." If you would have asked, I would have told you I went to Washington the week before the Crash and spent an hour and a half with Treasury Secretary James Baker III, pleading with him to do anything he could to defend the U.S. dollar, even if it meant selling gold bullion from Fort Knox, as the stock market was depending on the integrity of the Louvre Accord made early in 1987 to keep the foreign exchange markets in balance. When Baker instead indicated over the weekend that he would abandon the Accord, the crash occurred the following Monday. Still, I advised my clients there would be no recession and the market would resume its advance.
4. You recall the several prominent bears who in 1996 began advising clients to get out of the stock market. Polyconomics remained bullish even through the Clinton tax increase of 1993, arguing that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's pluses in monetary policy would more than offset the minus of the tax bill. In 1997, we began warning of the monetary deflation that had begun, with dire effects on commodity producers, in the Third World and among our own farmers and miners. Still, we were bullish on equities, which benefit in the first stage of a deflation, just as commodities benefit in the first stages of an inflation.
5. When the DJIA hit 10,000 in the spring of 1999, I wrote a client letter to which I will link here describing how and why it would be much more difficult to rise further, as most of the gains had come about already because of the Fed's defeat of inflation.
6. You write a good part of your article about Black Friday, April 14, 2000, when the "bubble" burst again. On that day the DJIA was down 617 points and the NASDAQ dropped 355 points. I had advised my clients in March that the market weakness was due to taxpayers discovering they would have to meet very high tax liabilities on their stock market gains of 1999, because the capital gains tax required a year's holding period before the tax rate would be 20% instead of 39%. I advised again in April that we should expect a great rush to sell on Friday, April 14, the last day cash could be raised to get the checks to the IRS on time. At the close of business Friday, I advised my clients by e-mail that it would be okay to buy again on Monday, as there would no longer be need for tax selling. On Monday the market bounded up. If it had not, the financial press would have written about my stupidity.
7. A year ago, as the Clinton administration gave way to the Bush administration, I made two trips to Washington to advise the incoming team that the deflation that began four years earlier was responsible for the recession that began in 2000, and that it would get worse if there were no change of policy to lift the price of gold, as had happened by accident in 1982. I advised them and also my clients that there was no reason to hold equities under these circumstances.
8. When September 11 occurred, of course everyone knew the market would open way down when trading resumed. We called the bottom, though, when it became clear that Secretary of State Colin Powell was able to put together the broad Islamic coalition to support the military strike in Afghanistan. If Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld had pushed for military action before Pakistan were brought aboard, the market would have continued lower. If Rumsfeld now persuades the President to attack Iraq, with no Islamic coalition behind the effort, the market will again move lower, expecting a second major terrorist shoe to drop.
If you would like more examples of how we have been seeing the markets unfold over the last 23 years, John, please come out to the New Jersey suburbs and we will show you there are always good reasons why markets go up and why they go down. You note in your article, for example, that on "Black Thursday, September 18, 1873," there was a panic as one bank failed and others followed. The New York Stock Exchange closed for ten days and "the public's faith in the financial markets was destroyed for a generation." If you bother to check, you will find out that 1873 was the year the U.S. Grant Administration gave into the banks' insistence on returning to a gold standard at the pre-Civil War rate of $20.67 per ounce, when the greenback had floated to more than $40 an ounce. This was the gravest monetary deflation in our history and it did take a generation before nominal asset prices returned to the level they had reached prior to September 1873. You can be excused for not knowing about this because I have not previously written about it in connection with the 1873 panic. Nor do they teach it in our colleges and universities, where almost everywhere it is popular to ascribe all market declines to "bubbles."


SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga saga with Jimmy Kimmel continues, as the late-night talk show host delivered another a six-minute monologue focused on Gonzaga University on Thursday night.
"Apparently, I opened up a 'Spo-can' of worms because people in Spokane are angry because I outted them I guess with this rouse they've been selling," Kimmel said.
Gonzaga University is asking Twitter users to convince late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel that the university does in fact exist.
This all began on Monday, Kimmel joked about the existence of Gonzaga University during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
"I have a theory, and I know this might be controversial, but here it is," Kimmel said. "I don't believe Gonzaga exists."
The comedian went on to joke about the Bulldogs bringing attention to the school.
"I've never heard the word 'Gonzaga' outside of college basketball," Kimmel joked. "I don't know where it is. I don't know anyone who went there. I don't even know anyone who knows anyone who went there."
On Wednesday, Gonzaga tweeted, "Zag Nation, we are counting on you to show @jimmykimmel that #GonzagaExists. Tweet your photos and videos to him. Tag him, tag your friends."
Tag star Jeremy Renner liked Gonzaga's tweet.
On Thursday evening, Spokane Hoopfest Executive Director and former Zag Matt Santangelo invited Kimmel to the Lilac City for Hoopfest on June 29-30. Santangelo even offered to take him down to the GU campus to prove it's real.
ESPN's Neil Everett might not have a twitter account, but that didn't stop him from showing his #GonzagaExists support. In a post shared on Gonzaga University's twitter, Everett has an important and lighthearted personal message for Kimmel.
The monologue prompted responses from the Gonzaga men's basketball team, the City of Spokane and many alumni on Twitter.
On Wednesday night, Kimmel reaffirmed his belief that Gonzaga is a mythical place and highlighted responses to his monologue from local media outlets, including KREM 2.
"I think it's very possible that Gonzaga is a hoax, probably cooked up by the Canadians to screw up our basketball brackets, and that made some people mad," Kimmel said.
"All I know is that, in March, I hear the word 60 times a day," he added.
During the monologue, Kimmel played a KREM 2 clip showing a tweet from VisitSpokane.
On Tuesday, VisitSpokane posted a thread of hilarious tweets proving the existence of Gonzaga and Spokane.
"All of these tweets, all of these examples – these are circumstantial. I need physical evidence that proves unequivocally that Gonzaga exists before I'll believe it," he responded after playing the KREM clip.
Kimmel also referenced articles from The Spokesman-Review and The Bonner County Daily Bee.
On Wednesday, Kimmel also joked about someone from Gonzaga driving him to the middle of a field and leaving him there if he were to visit Spokane. He also said that he would later wake up in a bathtub with three missing kidneys.
Gonzaga President Thayne McCulloh responded to Kimmel's fears via Twitter.
Regardless, Kimmel said he filled out his bracket and picked Gonzaga to win the NCAA Tournament.
"My thinking is, if these guys are so good that they can concoct an imaginary university and get almost everyone to go along with it, they can easily win a basketball tournament," Kimmel said.
"When they zig, I go Zags," he added.
Most students know the host is just having some fun, but they said it's not the first time they've had to explain themselves.
"Then you have the people who are like 'Gonzaga? Is that a thing? Are you by Seattle? It happens every time," GU freshman Lily Schmidt said.
This also resulted in a petition to have Kimmel give the commencement speech at May graduation. Senior Jacob Schmidt and his roommates think it's a way to garner attention from the comedian.
"It started out a little bit as a joke, but we do think we can get a lot of signatures," Schmidt said.
The Zags beat Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday afternoon.

A Human Rights Charter for SA
Time for SA to have a Human Rights Charter
A Greens' Bill introduced to Parliament this week would protect the human rights of all South Australians, enshrining principles of dignity, equality, respect and freedom in legislation.
Currently, Australia is the only democratic country in the world where people do not enjoy the protections of a Charter or Bill of Human Rights. This new law would see South Australia join Victoria, Queensland and the ACT as jurisdictions who are going it alone in the absence of any national approach.
"No matter who we are or where we are, our lives are better when we all treat each other with fairness and respect, and when we can enjoy our rights and freedoms," Greens MLC Mark Parnell said.
"The sad reality, however, is that the rights of individual people and communities aren't always respected. That's why it's important we put these basic rights into law, to help level the playing field."
The Charter protects rights in three main ways:
Public authorities, including government agencies and police, must act in a manner that is consistent with human rights and take these into account when making decisions
Human rights must be considered when Parliament makes new laws
Courts and tribunals must interpret and apply all laws compatibly with human rights
Examples of the protections include:
Freedom from forced work
Freedom of thought, conscience, religion and belief
Protection of families and children
Protection from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
Protection of privacy and reputation
Mark Parnell pointed to instances where people have relied on similar interstate legislation to access justice:
"The Victorian charter has been particularly effective in supporting the rights vulnerable individuals. Instances include a 40-year-old man with a disability living in an aged care home who was able to assert his right to live in more suitable accommodation, a 96-year-old woman who was granted extra time to find a new residence following an eviction notice, and advocacy for children in custody who had been transferred to adult facilities.
"Ideally, we would have a national approach, but this isn't happening, and in the meantime, State and Territory-based legislation is the best way to enshrine these rights in law," he concluded.

It�s Mel Brooks� mega-hit that scored twelve Tony Awards, based on the Brooks� 1968 film starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. But a mega-hit is exactly what the producers in the show want to avoid. The story centers on Max Bialystock who has a recent history of Broadway busts, and the meek accountant Leo Bloom sent over to do his books who voices an amusing insight that a producer could make a huge profit by over-selling shares in a sure-to-bust Broadway show, as no one would expect their money back. Thus the plot is hatched, with Max talking the nervous Leo into partnering up, and the search for a sure-fire Broadway bust is born. And Springtime for Hitler, a musical written by a nutty fan of Der Fuhrer, is discovered. How could it fail to fail?
Greasepaint Youtheatre�s got it and they flaunt it with a deeply talented cast and creative team, putting together a sensational production you won�t want to miss. Colin Ross directs with a keen eye for the show�s outrageous humor that his cast fully embraces. Lauran Stanis�s choreography is delightful and perfectly executed. And the cast looks beautiful dancing and acting with stylish costumes by Ben Bozovich.
Of course, you need to have a couple terrific leads as the two producers. Jack Rose nails the flamboyantly cynical Max Bialystock, long-time Broadway producer who finds new inspiration and energy thanks to Bloom. And he�s going to need every ounce of that energy as he works on Springtime for Hitler�s creative financing plan: inspiring scores of lonely elderly ladies to lay down the cash via the fundraising couch in Along Came Bialy. Not to mention reliving the entire show in the frantic monologue Betrayed. Hale Stewart is his hilarious counterpart as the meek accountant Bloom with big I Wanna Be a Producer daydreams, slowly transforming from finding comfort only in his little blue blanket to boldly going for the dream and for the girl. The duo work as a fantastic pair throughout. And Cami Benton makes three as their new, thickly accented, Swedish bombshell �If You Got It, Flaunt It� assistant Ula who drives them both bonkers with her amusing flaunting.
Sawyer Bland is a riot as the pigeon-loving, crazed playwright behind Springtime, zealous to share with the world the untold story of Hitler�s happy-go-lucky side. And ready to complete Hitler�s image makeover are Sean Lillis as the director Roger DeBris and Andrey Lull as his devoted assistant Carmen Ghia. Between Sean�s melodramatic and pretentiously artsy drag queen and Andrey�s highly emotional and hysterically sensitive partner, the twosome guarantee to Keep It Gay.
The ridiculously talented ensemble guarantee to keep each scene a masterpiece. Tatumn Zale is an amazing physical comedian as the �Hold me-Touch me� granny who might send Bialystock to the hospital, joined by a fantastic gaggle of grannies trying to get the biggest bang for their buck in Along Came Bialy. The chorus girls and accountants of I Wanna Be a Producer, the disgruntled patrons of Bialy�s bomb, the charming Usherettes, the whole city in The King of Broadway, and having it all come together for Springtime for Hitler and the Prisoners of Love. If Greasepaint was really intending to put on a bust, they accidentally staged a show for the ages.


All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them."
Welcome back to the routines of daily life and fully scheduled days. Many of the good intentions we had in the holiday mindset are now taking a back seat. However we do not want to become discouraged and lose the momentum of this fresh start of a new year!
I have long anticipated the year 2017 in which we will celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Overall I truly enjoy planning different activities for us and our family to enjoy. However, one of the things that tops them all is planning for a trip. It is as much fun as the trip itself as I research the destination focusing on the highlights and excursions. This builds such a sense of anticipation and excitement.
Doing this same thing with what you would like to bring into your life by year end will get you to your destination in spite of detours that may disrupt or delay success. Lay the groundwork, explore the possibilities. Our 2016 Dream Board postings that we would create the financial abundance for a month-long European trip and a family vacation at the beach to celebrate our 50th Anniversary are now realities for 2017. In January of last year I worked on a roadmap and created a budget to make it happen.
I realize this is huge and there were many times in our early years of marriage that we could only afford spending a weekend at a hotel in our own city. But in spite of how small each accomplishment was then this type of success story encouraged me to dream big and work out a plan to make those dreams happen. Scarcity thinking without a plan to change our mindset keeps us confined and unable to create anything different or expansive.
My intense curiosity motivates me to subscribe to many newsletters on various different topics. I personally do not delve deep into numerology but I read that last year was the end of a 9-year cycle which energetically brought about endings in our lives. This year is a 1 year offering new beginnings. I am amazed to see this already happening in my life. It happened yesterday when my wife visited a new doctor. He was absolutely amazing. The first question he asked was "how much time do you have for me to talk with you." He answered every question, listened actively and gave us such a better understanding of what she is dealing with, and surprisingly respected our approach to wellness regarding alternative solutions.
Also, within the first few days of this year a Marriage Celebration event our team has been working on for months, to celebrate the 2017 years of marriage of those attending, has come together beautifully with all details falling into place.
What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobe Yamada. A simple thing like a children's book can open our eyes to help us realize life is not complicated unless we make it so. We just need to move forward with our dreams and believe in the possibilities to achieve our goals. One quote from this book from the author to his children "Always remember a single idea can change everything."
You have everything going in your favor to take the first step this weekend to work on your roadmap of plans to make 2017 the best year ever!

We can find ourselves stuck in a cycle. Wake up, have breakfast, go to work, come home, feed the pet, go to bed. The dreams we once nurtured of changing the world inevitably fall to reality's wayside. Wouldn't it be nice to break free? Reclaim our creativity? This call to think differently sits at the core of Philippe Le Miere's new collection, 'Block-buster'.
When does creativity spark? Sometimes it hits us by surprise. We catch a face drifting through clouds, wake from a bizarre dream or meet someone unusual. Despite their scarcity, these moments are significant. In Block-buster, Philippe brings two of them together - a dream and a hero, merging both into something surprising and new.
One morning, Philippe woke from a dream where a hero slayed a dragon. Intrigued, he set about sketching the scene - but felt unsatisfied. Instead, he applied the dream's warrior theme to 2017's most prevalent superhero, Spiderman. Using the elusive logic of dreams, Philippe distorted and contorted his heroes - slaying and remaking them anew.
Like a Rorschach test, Block-buster asks us to discover our own meaning in its subject. It takes blockbuster icons and disrupts them. The effect commands a second glance, recalling our sense of creativity as we construe these twisted superheroes. Wouldn't it be nice to wake with this feeling everyday? To be reminded that we are still capable of seeing the familiar afresh.

NEPAL - FM Koirala to EPF: introduce cheaper housing project for employees
Kathmandu, July 19: Finance Minister Shankar Prasad Koirala Friday asked the Employees of the Provident Funds (EPF) to introduce a cheaper housing project targeting the employees.
Speaking at a programme here, Minister Koirala said that the government would manage the land for constructing the houses if the EPF introduced cheaper housing project for the employees.
He further said that the EPF should formulate a broad commercial plan to make the savers richer as the EPF has been connecting more than 470,000 civil servants and employees working in different institutions.
Koirala committed to implementing the health insurance facilities in coordination of the Insurance Board and EPF at the earliest possible.
The budget has included the provision of health insurance, he said.
Krishna Prasad Acharya, EPF Administrator Chief, said EPF was finding it difficult to maintain fund's yield due to high inflation rate.
"We have realized that we are unable to provide service and facilities as per the aspiration of the savers," he said.
He said, "We are capable to provide loan to any project if the investors proposed loan with the effective development projects which could contribute to the economic development of the country."
Establishment of Social Security Fund has increased a risk of limiting the role of the EPF, he added.
On the occasion, representatives of Employees' Trade Union drew attention of Koirala to stop a trend of providing fund to the corporations which have suffered a huge loss.
They stressed the need of making the EPF free from political interference.
The EPF has recently signed an agreement to provide Rs. 10 billion to the Nepal Airlines Corporations to buy new aircraft.
Earlier, the EPF also invested in the under construction Upper Tamakoshi and Chilime Hydropower Project.

Reuters ID: LVA4ZE9TTSPQMSCVYXPUPNQOMDNU
Topics: Conflict,General,Politics
Story Text: The United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations have called on Israel to withdraw its forces immediately from Palestinian cities in the West Bank.
They also urged Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to do everything possible to halt attacks against Israeli civilians.
The calls were made in a joint statement after a meeting here between U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar representing the EU, and Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov.
The statement, from the so-called "quartet" of countries and organisations attempting to mediate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, represents one of the weightiest international calls yet to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
They are urging Sharon to halt his military offensive in the West Bank which began on March 29.
The call for "immediate" withdrawal was stronger than U.S.
President George W. Bush's earlier plea for a pullout "without delay".
The EU, Russia and the U.N. gave their support to Powell's peace mission to Israel later this week and urged both Israelis and Palestinians to cooperate fully with him.
Powell flew to Spain from Egypt where he said on Tuesday he intended to meet Arafat later this week.
But a fresh surge of violence in the Middle East, including the death of at least eight people in a suicide bombing on an Israeli bus on Wednesday and the killing of 13 Israeli soldiers in an ambush by Palestinian militants on Tuesday, have cast a pall over his much-anticipated peace mission.
Reading a statement, Annan said: "We call on Israel to halt immediately its military operations. We call for an immediate meaningful ceasefire and immediate Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian cities, including Ramallah, specifically including Chairman Arafat's headquarters."
Arafat has been besieged in his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah since the Israelis began their offensive.
"We call on Chairman Arafat...to undertake immediately the maximum possible effort to stop terror attacks against innocent Israelis. We call on the Palestinian Authority to act decisively and take all possible steps within its capacity to dismantle terrorist infrastructure, including terrorist financing, and to stop incitement to violence," Annan said.
The statement urged Arafat to authorise his representatives to resume immediately security coordination with Israel: "Terrorism, including suicide bombs, is illegal and immoral".
Powell told media the United States was determined to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table and that the US would be willing to put in monitors once the peace process starts.
"As you may recall from G8 summit last year when it was discussed, the United States indicated it would be willing to put in place US monitors at the beginning of the Tennet process, the Mitchell process and that still remains our position and I think some limited US presence would be acceptable to both sides and once we get started we might take a look what else might be done to allow the two sides to have confidence in what the other side is doing to keep the process going on," Powell said.
Powell said the United States was not considering sanctions against Israel, unlike the EU, whose officials have raised the possibility they could suspend EU trade privileges for Israel.
In their statement, the quartet expressed great concern about the situation in the region, including the mounting humanitarian crisis and growing risk to regional security.
"We reiterate our shared condemnation of violence and terrorism (and) express our deep distress at the loss of innocent Palestinian and Israeli lives," the statement said.
They also expressed grave concern about recent attacks from Lebanon and urged all parties to show restraint.
The quartet said there was no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and called on all sides to move towards a political resolution of their disputes based on U.N.
Security Council resolutions.
They reaffirmed support for the objective of two states, Israel and a Palestinian state, "living side by side within secure and recognised borders".
They called on Israel and the Palestinian Authority to reach agreement on ceasefire proposals put forward by U.S.
mediator Anthony Zinni "without further delay".
They said the Tenet and Mitchell plans must be fully implemented, including an end to the building of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories.
They were referring to a truce plan drawn up by CIA director George Tenet and a blueprint for peace created under former U.S. Senator George Mitchell.

Cuba Bashes Trump Speech as 'Pretext for War' in Venezuela
President Nicolas Maduro shakes hands with his Cuban counterpart Miguel Díaz-Canel during a state visit to Venezuela, May 30, 2018 | Photo: EFE
Published 19 February 2019
Cuban Foreign Minister rejected the U.S. President's speech in Miami as offensive and reiterated its support for Venezuela.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the United States President Donald Trump's speech in Miami "offensive" after he called Venezuela a puppet of Cuba and urged the international community to pronounce itself "above political difference."
Maduro Rejects 'Nazi-Like' Trump Speech, Fake Humanitarian Aid
"Humanitarian aid is a pretext for a war," Rodriguez wrote on Twitter while reiterating Cuba's support for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Rodriguez also appealed to the international community to make joint efforts to stop potential U.S. military aggression on Venezuela at a meeting at the Foreign Ministry with 108 ambassadors and chiefs of diplomatic missions.
"One can be in favor or against a foreign military intervention. It is to choose between defense of the right to life or human losses, violence, bloodshed."
Trump Monday gave a speech about Venezuela at Florida International University in Miami during which he reaffirmed his country's support for the self-declared interim president Juan Guaido, and attacked socialism and its role in Latin America and alleged attempts to bring it to the U.S.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in response said, "What is it that Trump loves from Venezuela? Oil, coltan, diamonds ... the worst thing is that there are people from Venezuela who serve as puppets. The humanitarian aid is a show, they rob us of US$30 billion dollars and they offer us US$20 million in rotten food."
"Today Donald Trump was in Miami with a tired rhetoric, questioning the right of our free country to adopt the ideas of human, Christian socialism, with an almost Nazi-styled speech to stunt different ideologies," said Maduro.
Over the last year, the northern power has repeatedly attempted to overthrow democratically elected Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro through various means. First with sanctions, then with threats of a militarized intervention, and more recently coercing its allies to back the self-proclaimed interim president, opposition lawmaker, Juan Guaido, all with the purpose of confiscating Venezuela's vast oil reserves, as affirmed by U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton.

The Principled Negotiating Program will increase your confidence and effectiveness in negotiating.
We combine principled negotiating, developed by the Harvard Project on Negotiation, with structured negotiating, which facilitates and enhances the efficiency of the negotiation process.
By increasing your awareness of the process and the best possible action at each stage, and by preparing systematically and applying the right negotiation rules, you will learn to achieve far better results while at the same time maintaining high ethical and professional standards.
The "red line" in this seminar is the different phases of the negotiation. We do an overview early in the seminar and then go into detail over the course of the 3 days.
The participants use a simple psychometric tool to give them an idea of their negotiating style. This is done as a pre-work exercise via e-mail.
One of the key modules and concepts looks at the difference of positional bargaining vs. principled negotiation, which leads to focusing on the problem and not the people.
Other key concepts include Interests vs. positions, relevant standards, strategies and tactics, options and alternatives.
During the seminar, participants use a set of planning tools that they can then implement in the workplace.
Participants will practice their negotiations in teams of 3 people. We use a rigorous filming and video technique that enables us to give live feedback to the observers, and retrospective peer to peer feedback from the observers to the negotiating teams.

Xilografia è stata una rivista italiana dedicata a questa tecnica incisoria. Fondata a Faenza da Francesco Nonni, fu edita dal 1924 al 1926.

Storia
Nei primi anni del XX secolo, contribuendo al risvegliato un interesse per l'incisione xilografica, in Italia nacquero alcune pubblicazioni sull'argomento: le principali furono L'Eroica di Ettore Cozzani (1911) e Xilografia di Francesco Nonni (1924).

Stampata in trecento esemplari a Faenza, presso lo stabilimento tipografico dei Fratelli Lega, la rivista ebbe come ispiratore e direttore lo stesso Nonni.
L'intendimento era quello di raccogliere nei suoi fascicoli il meglio della produzione xilografica italiana del periodo, rivolgendo l'attenzione a tutte le tendenze artistiche contemporanee.

Tutte le principali correnti artistiche vi furono rappresentate: da quella espressionista con le incisioni di Domenico Baccarini, Ebba Holm, Emilio Mantelli e Lorenzo Viani, al genere Déco con i lavori di Carlo Gino Sensani, Alfredo Morini e naturalmente dello stesso Francesco Nonni.
Il gusto estetizzante era presentato dalle xilografie di Adolfo De Carolis e dal famoso ritratto di D'Annunzio, realizzato da Gino Barbieri.
Altri incisori di primo piano che collaborarono alla rivista sono stati Benito Boccolari, Remo Branca, Bruno da Osimo, Mino Maccari, Giannetto Malmerendi, Diego Pettinelli, Luigi Servolini.

Nel 2017 si è tenuta a Rimini una mostra interamente dedicata alla rivista.

Replacements indeed - these guys sound like just about any other 80s college rock band, but they're so faceless they don't compare easily to anyone. They don't have the punk and art rock sensibilities of, say, the Minutemen or Sonic Youth; they don't have the sweet pop influences of the dB's; they don't have a distinct guitar or vocal sound like REM; and they don't use up-to-date electronic gadgets or try to put across political lyrics like U2, XTC or Midnight Oil. Basically, they're just loose, loud, and doggedly enthusiastic, at their best a step or two up from a bar band. They never sold a lot of records during their decade-long run, and their self-destructive drunkenness, pedestrian instrumental skills, and lack of musical or lyrical innovation probably had a lot to do with it. But they have a huge reputation with rock critics anyway, and I can hear why: they were utterly sincere, and they worked out a sure-fire rock 'n' roll formula that combined Chuck Berry-ish up-tempo numbers with gentle, slightly countrified ballads. You could even make a case that their variation on power-pop was the basis for much of American alt rock in the early 90s - Buffalo Tom, Material Issue, the Posies, and so on. I'm not sure anyone is going to get a lot out of tracking down every last record they did, but the better ones (including some of their post-breakup solo efforts) are good clean fun.
In a weird twist of fate, the Replacements originated in Minneapolis, also home to Prince and Hüsker Dü (must be something strange in the water). They cut a string of records on Twin/Tone before graduating to the majors with Sire, at which point their songwriting became erratic and they started having personnel problems. Eventually, singer/guitarist Paul Westerberg pretty much took over the band, writing and singing all the material and dominating their sound. The group finally dissolved in 1991, and a small number of solo albums has resulted; Westerberg's are the most easily available, but Chris Mars' solo records are surprisingly good and very much in the vein of the band's original work.
There's at least one decent Paul Westerberg fan page.
Chris Mars (drums), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass), Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar, some saxophone). Bob Stinson left, after 1985. Slim Dunlap (guitar) joined, late 1987 or 1988. Mars replaced by Steve Foley (drums), 1990, who did not appear on record. Band split, 1991. Bob Stinson died, 1995.


Fans of Rascal Flatts' "Bless The Broken Road," Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," and Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back" now have a new station that will air all of their favorite Country songs from the 2000s–SirusXM's latest Country music channel, Y2Kountry on Channel 57.
"Prime Country tried to handle the early bits of 2000, The Highway tried to handle the later bits, but there were too many hits from country artists to get played," said Y2Kountry channel program director Joey Black.
To celebrate the launch, Y2Kountry will feature guest DJ launch parties from Martina McBride, Sara Evans, Rascal Flatts, and Clay Walker, who will each select personal favorite songs and talk about their selections. Walker's party launched Thursday morning (July 17); the singer-songwriter debuted two new songs during his radio slot, "Rock the Radio" and "Long Live the Cowboy," which he recently recorded for an upcoming project.

Dietary meat and protection against sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia describes the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and associated muscle weakness. Sarcopenia is a major global health problem given that the number and proportion of older people in the population is escalating worldwide and represent the fastest growing segment of society. The loss of muscle mass compromises physical capacity, increases susceptibility to falls, and impacts on an individual's functional independence and quality of life. Tackling sarcopenia sensibly and effectively will identify strategies that will enable older adults to age well and age productively. The underlying causes of sarcopenia are complex and multifactorial and will likely require combinatorial therapies to address its symptoms. Nutrition, particularly protein intake, is a more easily modifiable factor, especially when combined with structured (resistance) exercise programs. The relative success of protein feeding strategies for sarcopenia, is limited by a so-called anabolic resistance in older people. Meat contains essential amino acids and nutritive compounds of high quality, and even a moderate intake can increase muscle protein synthesis in older men and women. However, health risks have been identified with the consumption of different meats, with high intake of processed meats increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease and different cancers. Risks for fresh white and red meat are considerably less and modest consumption is encouraged as part of a healthy eating plan for many older adults to ensure adequate protein intake. Other nutritive strategies of relevance for sarcopenia involve fortifying the nutrient value of different meats. Studies on muscle cells and animal models of muscle wasting, have identified the therapeutic potential of the amino acid, glycine, to reduce inflammation, attenuate muscle atrophy, and re-sensitize muscle to anabolic stimuli. Glycine supplementation or feeding animal products with a high glycine content (e.g. gelatin), could represent simple and effective nutritional strategies as part of a suite of therapies to attenuate sarcopenia.

Uber Founder's Is The World's No. 2 Ranked Wii Tennis Player
August 12, 2015 August 13, 2015 Ankita Banerjee
Uber is riding high on a high valuation (nearly $50 billion) and a promise to take over the world. From a San Francisco based startup to one of the hottest companies in Silicon Valley – Uber's come a long way.
And along the company's success, Travis Kalanick, the co-founder and CEO of Uber, made it to the Forbes list of billionaires. But it was not just his entrepreneuring skills that worked for the company's success. The man has a now-not-so-secret passion and some "weird ways", that investor Lowercase Capital partner Chris Sacca, finds important in an entrepreneur.
source – vanityfair.com
Chris Sacca, the founder of Lowercase Capital and an early Uber investor shares a story from a years ago.
"A few years ago, Uber was barely started, Travis was at my house up in the mountains over the holidays hanging out with me and my family, and he's pal-ing around with my dad. And my dad says, "Hey, let's play a game of Wii Tennis (Nintendo Wii)." My dad had a Wii at home and considered himself a pretty good tennis player. He's like mildly athletic and has played in a few local tennis tournaments. So Travis is like, "Alright."
Travis is barely awake yet. And they sit there and they start playing this Wii Tennis game and my dad is getting abused. He's losing handily to Travis… And Travis is like, in full "Princess Bride" style, he says… "I'm playing with my opposite hand." And so he switches the controller to his other hand.
They start the match again, and my dad doesn't score a single point. He is absolutely swinging away and he gets no points in, and half of Travis' serves are just aces. My dad is completely dejected. So this grin comes over Travis' face, and… he starts thumbing over on the controller to the settings page on the Wii and to where they have the global high score. And he says, "I'm actually tied for second in the global rankings in Wii Tennis." He was the second best player in the world in Wii Tennis.
I don't know when the day was when Travis decided he wanted to be one of the best Wii Tennis players in the world while founding what's gone on to become the biggest transportation company in history. But it was in that moment that I saw his true obsession with obtaining a goal. Once he sets something out as a goal for himself, he will absolutely accomplish it – at probably any cost."
Travis Kalanick has carried that sportsman and problem-solving spirit to Uber. "He doesn't sleep. He doesn't lose focus. He will even forget to eat. He executes again and again, inspiring those around him to have the same passion for the end game as he does", Sacca said. "He would even take the cheapest hotels and hostels while traveling, and he's a billionaire" Sacca added admiring Kalanick's ability to stay grounded into the bootstrapped startup culture.
Kalanick didn't have a golden fortune. His first startup failed and filed bankruptcy and the second one didn't quite work out either and sold for $18.7 million in stock. He invested eight hard years in entrepreneuring, dropped out of U.C.L.A and reached almost mid-30s when Uber happened finally. But when it clicked, it clicked big time. And the next few years changed the transportation history forever.
Today Uber is competing with taxi services in the USA and 58 other countries all over the world and Kalanick holds at least 12% of the company.

Soon To Be Resurrected 2019 Jawa Caught Roaming Around In Camouflage
October 31, 2018 | Karan Tripathi
Added in: Jawa Motorcycles
A yesteryear icon is about to take birth again very soon. Jawa Motorcycles have already found a power source for this rebirth and the actual motorcycle is not far away from its official reveal. However, before it could break cover officially, somebody has snapped the motorcycle while it is still breaking out of its shell.
The pictures do reveal some interesting bits. For example, to keep the retro alive, the bike thankfully uses spoke type wheels, however, a front disc brake adds the cover of modern safety. Retro forks hold together, what looks like a metal front fender, above which, sits a round headlamp, which appears to be integrated within a panel that also holds the instrument cluster.
Based on a twin-downtube architecture which also holds the cooling apparatus, the 293 cc engine sits snug under a conventionally designed fuel tank which is sort of raked towards the bars. A single, two-tone seat with a skeletal grab handle take it towards the back, where the tail light seems to have been merged with the rear fender. Side panels on each side bulge out above the twin-sided exhaust pipes, which find their way out of the all-new, 293cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder, DOHC unit which will churn out 27 bhp and 28 Nm of torque. It is tuned to deliver generous amounts of power in the mid-range and will draw a flat torque curve on the graph for its goodness to be always available on tap.
Even with all the wrapping, it appears that the new Jawa's styling will closely resemble its predecessor and going by the number of fans the brand still has in our country, this will only please them further. What we also noticed that the twin, chrome finished rear shocks are gas charged and a half chain guard exists to keep things clean.
The engine powering the new Jawa is built on a BS6 ready platform and apart from the aesthetics and power delivery, the makers went to great lengths to ensure that the unique exhaust note of the old Jawa could be recreated. To replicate the tone of a classic 2-stroke on a modern day 4-stroke, a maverick team of sound engineers in Italy worked extensively with Classic Legends through countless cycles of harmonic pipe combinations and multiple other permutations to discover a sound that was worthy of the new Jawa. The actual bike will be revealed on November 15th, 2018 and we'll bring you all the updates as and when they arrive. Stay tuned!
