C2 Online to host the Forum Québec électrique
Presented by the Gouvernement du Québec and Propulsion Québec
On October 30, C2 Online – Montréal 2020 will host the Forum Québec électrique, presented by the Gouvernement du Québec and Propulsion Québec. The event will address the electrification of transportation, sustainable mobility, the green economy and the future of cities.
The Forum's objective will be to foster reflection, generate discussions and create engagement around these relevant topics.
We're proud to welcome the following special guests to the Forum Québec électrique:
Mr. Pierre Fitzgibbon
Minister of Economy and Innovation
Mr. Benoit Charette
Minister of the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change
Mr. Jonatan Julien
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
Ms. Sophie Brochu
President and CEO, Hydro-Québec
Mr. Erik Grab
VP of Strategic Anticipation, Innovation and Sustainable Development, Michelin
Mr. James Ehrlich
Founder, ReGen Villages Holding, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Stanford University
Ministers Benoit Charette and Jonatan Julien will take part in a panel titled "Quebec's integrated approach for a green economy: A win for Quebec and a win for the planet." Resolutely committed to a green and resilient economy, the Gouvernement du Québec, via the Plan for a Green Economy 2030, will implement a set of measures aimed at achieving its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5% below the 1990 level by 2030 and at succeeding in its energy transition. The ministers will discuss the government's preferred approach to achieving these goals, an approach based on Quebec's great strengths including, first and foremost, its own electricity and creative expertise.
Mr. Fitzgibbon will participate in a panel of experts entitled "The clean battery in Quebec" during which he will present the development strategy of the Quebec battery industry. This activity will detail Quebec's strengths in the production of battery components, including the use of strategic mineral resources available in Quebec, and will address the importance of establishing each step of the production chain of electric vehicles in Quebec.
In addition to the ministers, participants will also be able to hear from Ms. Sophie Brochu, President and CEO of Hydro-Québec. As Quebec plans its post-COVID-19 recovery, Ms. Brochu will speak with Bloomberg LP journalist and bureau chief Sandrine Rastello, about the transition to a low-carbon-emission economy and the technological advancements needed in order to accelerate the transition to a greener model and a cleaner recovery.
James Ehrlich, Founder, ReGen Villages Holding & EIR, Stanford University School of Medicine, as well as Erik Grab, Vice President of Strategic Anticipation, Innovation and Sustainable Development at Michelin, will also be speaking at the event. The two speakers will discuss the future of cities and urban mobility after COVID-19. As citizens put livability and sustainability higher in their priorities, cities have an unprecedented opportunity to reimagine themselves in every way. James Ehrlich and Erik Grab will therefore propose bold ideas to positively shape the future of cities for a better tomorrow.

Q: SharePoint 2010 Form Integration with iPad App This might be an odd question and honestly I don't know if it is possible or not.  I have a client that is wanting an iPad App form which we developed to be synced/integrated with a SharePoint 2010 form library version of it.  Basically when the form is submitted on the iPad it creates an item in the SharePoint Form Library and if you want to lookup a form submitted within SharePoint you can on the iPad.
I have looked through the External List route using a SQL Database as the middle man, but the limitations of not being able to use workflows or export to Excel are not acceptable in this request.
Is SharePoint 2010 capable of having data submitted directly to it's database from an iPad app and also able to send data back to the iPad app for read/write?  If so can you point me in the direct I would need to start looking into or the best approach to complete this?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions anyone might be able to provide!

A: You may be able to use SharePoint Web Services' Lists class  to interact directly with your lists. It has methods to create and read items from lists in SharePoint.

"Black Minds Matter: Supporting the Educational Success of Black Children in California," examines how the nearly 1 million Black youth in California are faring from preschool through college and reveals the distressing disparities that newly released state and national data show persist at all levels of their educational journey. The report also highlights the groundbreaking efforts underway to reverse these trends in California and close achievement and opportunity gaps for African American students.
The report calls on policymakers, education leaders, and all Californians to prioritize the equity-based changes that California's Black students deserve and have been waiting far too long for. If we believe California is a land of opportunity, we must acknowledge that the current rate of progress we see is unacceptable.

Whenever I mention the term "rude" in terms of dogs (a term I first heard from my friend Janey at Rogues and Rascals--Thanks, Janey), I can see people visibly recoil. "Surely my dog isn't rude. He just wants to say 'hi,' but other dogs are always attacking him." Tell you what: If you find yourself saying that, chances are, you've got a rude dog.
The problem is, rude dogs look pretty friendly to the human eye. After all, they run up to other dogs and greet them with a friendly nose sniff, tail wagging. That's not rude, is it?
In dog language, a dog that approaches another dog directly while openingly looking into his face is challenging him. Chances are, that dog being greeted will snap or lunge to indicate its objection to this overly familiar and challenging greeting. To start getting this under control, ask your dog to sit and face you when another dog is approaching her--and praise her lavishly when she does. If you do let her "greet" another dog, make sure their greeting is respectful. Let the dogs sniff one another from behind, and never, ever let her approach strange dogs by going nose-to-nose. When a dog graduates to a nose-to-nose greeting after multiple meetings, watch for signs that either dog is becoming agitated, and don't let them greet one another for more than a couple of seconds.
To build safe greeting behaviors, help your dog focus on you, and create situations to help her succeed.

*The second thread runs in a continuous loop and tries to load a large (20Meg) xml file via the following
while (true)
{
    ofXml test;
    test.load("bigfile.xml");
}

*There are no programmatically shared resources between the main thread and auxiliary thread and there are no locks/mutexes in either thread.
Profiling seems to give me one possible answer, it looks like heap allocations and deallocations on the auxiliary thread are possibly swamping the heap allocator and therefore the main threads allocations/deallocations are being slowed down.
I used a sampling profiler ",very sleepy", to profile my main thread for 30 seconds first while the auxiliary thread is suspended, and then resumed.
When running with the auxiliary thread suspended , top exclusive% functions are as follows, and a look at stack of the the time taken for new:

And now the same running with the auxiliary thread active:

This seems to suggest that std::string allocations are being slowed by heap allocations in the auxiliary thread and may be what is causing the slowdown and stalls.  Does that sound correct? , or could i be missing something.  I want to make sure my analysis is correct before I try to rewrite my code without std::string.

A: Since it allows you to see individual call stacks on the auxiliary thread, those are what to look at. For example, the one you are showing says over 20% of its time is in the process of re-allocating strings, probably for the purpose of growing them. If you look at other stack samples as well, I bet they are also in the process of growing strings (just not in new). If so, it means an even higher percent is spent in growing strings. If so, anything you can do to increase default string allocations or grow-by size should help.
(BTW, you can see from this that exclusive time is not helpful. Inclusive time is what you need, but even that is not as useful as simply examining stack samples so you can see why it's doing what it's doing.
That's why this technique is so effective.

La diocesi di Aristio (in latino: Dioecesis Aristiana) è una sede soppressa del patriarcato di Costantinopoli e una sede titolare della Chiesa cattolica.

Storia
Aristio, nei pressi di Gnöe e Karacaören nell'odierna Turchia, è un'antica sede episcopale della provincia romana della Frigia Pacaziana nella diocesi civile di Asia. Faceva parte del patriarcato di Costantinopoli ed era suffraganea dell'arcidiocesi di Laodicea.

La diocesi è documentata nelle Notitiae Episcopatuum del patriarcato di Costantinopoli fino al XII secolo.

Sono solo due i vescovi attribuiti a questa diocesi: Paolo, che prese parte al concilio di Calcedonia nel 451; e Mamas, che nel 518 sottoscrisse la petizione che il sinodo di Costantinopoli inviò al patriarca Giovanni II in favore della definizione di fede di Calcedonia e contro Severo di Antiochia e il partito monofisita. Alla sede di Aristio, Le Quien aggiunge anche Tarasio, che partecipò al concilio di Costantinopoli dell'879-880 che riabilitò il patriarca Fozio di Costantinopoli; questo vescovo è più probabilmente da assegnare alla diocesi di Eriste in Bitinia.

Dal 1933 Aristio è annoverata tra le sedi vescovili titolari della Chiesa cattolica; la sede è vacante dal maggio 1945.

Tennessee Titans linebacker Kamalei Correa will not play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a back injury.
Correa, who is tied for the team lead with two sacks, had been listed as questionable but was downgraded on Saturday.
Correa, 24, was acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens in August for a 2019 sixth-round pick.
The Titans also said safety Kendrick Lewis will miss his third straight game with a foot injury. He has not played in a regular season game since 2016 with Baltimore.


Say what you will about the National Rifle Association's take-no-prisoners approach to gun control, it has been ruthlessly successful. Despite a spate of mass shootings, the gun lobby has blocked any major federal restrictions on firearms since the now-lapsed assault weapons ban in 1994.
Now it's time for climate activists, businesses harmed by global warming, and everyone else who cares about the fate of the Earth and future generations to take a page from the NRA playbook.
A climate superlobby is exactly what's needed to convince a still-doubtful segment of the public, mobilize voters, strong-arm recalcitrant lawmakers — and, perhaps most important, raise the money necessary to make all of this happen.
True, if this were easy, it would have happened already. It's a heavy lift to hammer out cooperation among the nation's Balkanized environmental groups and regulation-averse corporate interests. But what's happening now isn't working. And time is running out.
An assessment by 13 federal agencies released on Black Friday described a climate already altered with more powerful storms, disrupted fisheries and 9 inches of higher sea levels along the U.S. coastline. It predicted severe economic damage by the end of the century, a scientific assessment that President Donald Trump promptly said he doesn't believe.
►Money. The NRA and its nonprofit lobbying arms raise and spend millions of dollars to lobby Congress and run issue-based campaign ads. Industries hurt by climate change — including insurance and re-insurance, health care, agriculture, recreation and real estate — have combined values in the trillions of dollars. They stand to lose tens of billions if even moderate climate change occurs.
Moreover, growing numbers of climate-concerned megadonors such as Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer are willing to invest in the cause. If they all join forces, they could generate more than enough to offset money contributed by oil and coal companies to block restrictions or new taxes on fossil fuels.
►Manpower. The NRA claims 5 million members who can sway elections despite a minority view: Two out of three Americans favor tougher gun control laws, but the anti-control voters are far more passionate. A climate superlobby could draw on tens of millions. Millennials are particularly fervent about the issue. And climate change directly impacts other issues voters care about: health care, with increased diseases, and immigration, with vast movements of people seeking relief from drought and food shortages.
►Mobilization. The NRA relies on devoted members not only to vote but also to draft letters, talk to friends, and donate money to the organization's political action committee. A climate superlobby could pool membership contacts and start doing the same. Imagine an ActBlue app pushed out to those members, triggering a donation alert every time a global warming-fueled disaster struck. The technology has raised more than $3 billion for Democrats since its inception in 2004.
The reality is that when the NRA speaks, Washington listens. There's no reason the save-the-planet movement can't carry that kind of clout.
What do you think of our view on climate change?

Not everyone is a fan of change. So a lot of bad ratings come in. But it is also a reboot, so of course there is going to be a lot in difference. Of course having a 10 year old, I've seen so much of the older Monster Highs. But I like that they give it a new light and story. And it isn't an "old" series. Shows and movies get changed around an awful lot. I loved the graphics better, the voice acting, and storytelling. I was skeptical at first watching it,but I really enjoyed it, by surprise.
A new animation style is used for this movie. This means that the Monster High movie series has used three animation styles so far.


There are 2 significant statistics that every salesperson cares about, whether they're offering autos or kitchen area blades: the close rate and average ticket. Both of these numbers impact their ranking within the firm, yearly incentives, and various other rewards. In a sales field where every shut deal is a huge dollar quantity, the close rate is much more crucial than the average ticket. Bear in mind that the employee who's selling you this vehicle wishes to make the sale much more compared to anything else. He's not thinking about squeezing a few additional bucks from you to boost his compensation; he desires to surpass his quota for the month so he could get approved for a perk or a trip. If you visit a trusted car dealership with an excellent ranking online, you need to feel comfortable that the business is offering you a reasonable, honest price.
Among the largest mistakes that folks make when haggling with a vehicle dealership is to come close to the circumstance like a fight. Any competent salesman understands that the only course to lasting success is to obtain on the very same team as their customer. They do not want to sell you something you do not desire. They really want to assist you locate exactly what you require, to ensure that you'll recommend them to your friends. Go in ready to deal with them; presume they are sincere up until they make you really feel otherwise. By beginning with an area of rely on, you will have the ability to puncture the majority of the common sales rubbish, and also come down to exactly what actually matters.

Group demands Governor take action after 23rd horse dies at SoCal racetrack
Posted 8:24 AM, April 1, 2019, by Sandra Phillips
ARCADIA, Calif. - Animal rights activists are calling for the governor to form a panel to investigate training and veterinary practices at California race tracks after another racehorse died at Santa Anita Park, the 23rd equine death at the facility since Dec. 26.
Arms Runner, a 5-year-old horse who won his last race at the park on Jan. 27, suffered a severe and ultimately fatal injury to his right front leg in Sunday's Grade 3 San Simeon Stakes on turf, resulting in a two-horse spill.
The trailing horse, La Sardane, fell but was quickly on her feet, the Daily Racing Forum reported. The spill occurred just as the horses were about to re-enter the turf portion of the course that starts at the top of a hillside and has a crossover point on dirt.
"Arms Runner sustained a fatal injury during the San Simeon Stakes (Sunday)," Mike Willman, representing Santa Anita, said in a statement. "He was racing over the 6-furlong hillside turf course (Sunday) afternoon when at the dirt crossing, he fell and collided with another horse, La Sardane. La Sardane, was walked back to her barn under her own power with no reported injuries. Both jockeys, Martin Pedroza, who rode Arms Runner and Ruben Fuentes, who rode La Sardane, were examined by on-site medical experts and released from First Aid.
Another horse dies at Santa Anita, marking 23rd death this season
"While this incident happened during competition on a track that has been deemed by independent experts to be safe, we are working closely with the California Horse Racing Board to understand if there was anything additional that we could have done to prevent (Sunday's) tragedy. (Sunday's) incident speaks to the larger issue of catastrophic injuries in horse racing that The Stronach Group together with our industry stakeholders are working to solve throughout California and across the country."
Arms Runner was trained by Peter Miller and owned by Rockingham Ranch. He had made $124,941 in 12 starts before Sunday.
People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued a statement following the horse death:
"Over the past two weeks, Thoroughbred owners and trainers and the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) have argued about medications, whipping, and the public perception of horse racing. But they did not take every measure needed to protect the horses. Both horses (who went down) ran on the drug Lasix, which is known to cause dehydration and electrolyte loss,' PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo said. 'All drugs need to be banned entirely, and the known-safest racing surface -- a synthetic track -- must be used. Furthermore, PETA calls on Governor Newsom to urgently form an independent panel to investigate the training and veterinary practices in California racing, including the use of bisphosphonates and other medications that reportedly have been used indiscriminately. If the CHRB does not take every possible action to protect the horses, then racing should not be allowed to continue."
Racing had just resumed Friday at the famed Arcadia track, one day after the California Horse Racing Board approved restrictions on certain medications administered to the animals. The track was closed for most of this month while officials inspected the track and formulated the new regulations.
Racing resumes at famed Santa Anita Park after 22 horse deaths
The CHRB approved previously announced proposals to strictly limit the use of anti-inflammatory medications on horses. It also approved a much- discussed 50 percent reduction in the allowable amount of Lasix, a diuretic that helps prevent horses from hemorrhaging. Santa Anita officials had initially proposed a ban on Lasix, but struck a compromise with the Thoroughbred Owners of California and the California Thoroughbred Trainers calling for a 50 percent reduction in allowable dosage.
Santa Anita officials previously announced a series of other measures being implemented to help bolster safety of the horses, including:
-- Complete transparency of all veterinary records;
-- Trainers must apply for permission to work a horse (a timed, high- speed training exercise) at least 48 hours in advance;
-- No therapeutic medications of treatments will be allowed without a qualified veterinary diagnosis from a state licensed veterinarian;
-- Significant and strict out-of-competition testing;
-- Increasing the time required for horses to be on-site prior to a race; and
-- A substantial investment by The Stronach Group in diagnostic equipment to aid in the early detection of pre-existing conditions.
Those measures, however, did not prevent animal-advocacy groups from protesting the resumption of racing at Santa Anita, who point to the dangers they say are inherent in the sport.
Between December and February of the previous year, 10 horses died at Santa Anita, compared with eight in 2016-17 and 14 in 2015-16. The track averaged about 50 deaths per year from 2008-18, according to data from the CHRB.
The unusually large amount of rain that has fallen over the Southland this winter has been mentioned as a possible factor in explaining the surge in deaths.
Former track superintendent Dennis Moore and Mick Peterson of Racing Services Testing Lab were brought in to conduct a thorough analysis of the main track, and officials repeatedly said they found no problems.

Thirteen percent of those surveyed said they were less likely to purchase from Nike after viewing Kaepernick's first ad.
Former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick appears as a face of Nike Inc advertisement marking the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" slogan in this image released by Nike in Beaverton, Oregon, U.S., September 4, 2018. Woods, who has played golf with Trump (as well as three other presidents) tried to avoid controversy by saying it was important to "respect the office". Narrated by Kaepernick, the ad includes appearances by other high-profile African-American athletes Odell Beckham Jr., LeBron James and Serena Williams.
"Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything", Kaepernick says. "Even if it means sacrificing everything", over a photo of trooper Tyler Edenhofer, who was killed in July after a struggle with a suspect.
Two weeks ago, Woods was asked about his relationship with President Donald Trump, who has spoken out against the National Football League and the protests. I don't think it's appropriate what they did, ' Trump said in a Fox News interview before the rally.
They have been among the most vocal protesters since Kaepernick began similar demonstrations in 2016 by kneeling during the anthem.
Nike uniforms are vestimenta non grata at the College of the Ozarks after the company's Colin Kaepernick ad campaign.
While the company didn't announce Kaepernick would be in OR for the ad's debut, several accounts of the event were posted on social media.
"We will be collecting any Nike/NFL gear people want to donate as part of supporting our troops and standing for the flag", she said.
The Fraternal Order of Police, who endorsed President Donald Trump's campaign, describes the ad as "hateful" towards police officers. And a store in Colorado has said it will be removing all Nike merchandise following the move.

World Population Hits 8 Billion, Is Our Planet Overpopulated?
On 15th November 2022, the world's population reached 8 billion, marking a "milestone in human development," as predicted by the United Nations.
Science, Technology, Top Stories
As predicted by the United Nations, the world's population reached 8 billion on 15th November 2022, marking a "milestone in human development." According to the UN, 1 billion people have entered the world's population in the last 12 years.
"This unprecedented growth is due to the gradual increase in human lifespan owing to improvements in public health, nutrition, personal hygiene, and medicine. It is also the result of high and persistent levels of fertility in some countries," UN officials said.
Over the past decade, middle-income countries, mostly in Asia, have driven the majority of population growth, adding around 700 million people since 2011. India, on the other hand, added about 180 million people, and is on track to surpass China as the world's most populous nation by next year.
Although the global population continues to grow at a steady rate, demographers note that the growth rate has decreased steadily to a rate of less than 1% per year, which means that the world will not surpass 9 billion people until 2037. It is estimated that the world's population will peak at around 10.4 billion people by the year 2100 and that it will remain at that level until then.
According to the UN, most of the 2.4 billion people that will be born before the global population peaks between 2050 and 2080 will be born in sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting that China and India are increasingly becoming irrelevant.
In the statement of the UN, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that reaching an 8 billion global population '" is an occasion to celebrate diversity and advancements while considering humanity's shared responsibility for the planet."
As the human population continues to grow, the impact on nature will be more pronounced due to increased competition for water, food, and space. Meanwhile, rapid population growth combined with climate change will also probably result in mass migration and conflict in the coming decades, according to experts.
Read: You Can Now Control Your iPhone With Your Brain
While there are some who feel eight billion humans is a great number for the planet to sustain, most experts believe the bigger problem is the overconsumption of resources by those who are the wealthiest in the world.
Natalia Kanem, chief of the United Nations Population Fund, was quoted as saying, "Some express concerns that our world is overpopulated."I am here to clarify that the sheer number of human lives is not a cause for fear."
The scientist Joel Cohen, head of the Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Populations, explained to AFP that the question of how many people Earth can support has two sides to it: natural limits and human choices.
Picture: Unsplash
In the world we live in today, the choices we make result in humans consuming far more biological resources, such as forests and land, than our planet is able to re-create every year.
In the case of fossil fuels, for example, overconsumption of them leads to a much higher amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, which is causing global warming.
"We are stupid. We lacked foresight. We are greedy. We do not use the information that we have. That is where the choices and the problems lie," said Mr. Cohen.
He, however, does not accept the idea that humans are a curse on the planet, arguing that it would be better to give people better options, rather than curse them.
In any case, there won't be enough of everything, whether it's food or water, batteries or gasoline, as the global population grows faster and faster. However, how much they consume is equally important, suggesting policymakers can make a significant difference by mandating a change in consumption patterns for all of these goods and services.
Experts say that African nations, whose population is expected to boom due to climate change, will face particular resource challenges due to the rapid growth of their economies, and they will also face the greatest burden from the effects of climate change.

US Open Round One Three Balls From bovada.lv
Bovada.lv have a wide selection of 3 ball betting markets for the first round of the US Open. Bets are settled based on the relative scores of each player in the group with the winner the player to record the lowest round. All three players must start the round in order for bets to count. In the event of two or more players carding the same score bets will be settled as no action. Three ball wagers can be placed in singles or parlays which combine two or more players. Play begins at 7am local time which is Pacific Time and three hours behind EST.
Mickelson Craves US Open.
7:33am Phil Mickelson to beat Bubba Watson and Angel Cabrera at 2.10.
This week could be Mickelson's date with destiny when he finally wins the US Open and completes the career Grand Slam. He is talking positively about the demands of the course while others are bemoaning the state of the greens and the nature of the fairways. The winner this week will probably be an experienced player with the temperament to handle the bad breaks. In this context Mickelson can outscore his two opponents over 18 holes with a strong start to the tournament he would love to win like no other and join the five greats to have won the four majors at least once.
8:06am Hideki Matsuyama to beat Graeme McDowell and Matt Kuchar at 2.30.
Matsuyama is a major champion in waiting and has the game to be the first player from Japan to win one of the four most prestigious titles in golf. He has finished in the top ten in all but the US PGA Championship so is proven on all types of courses. His all-round game makes him a leading contender and a good thing to outscore two partners who are struggling to find their best form ahead of the second major of the season. McDowell has lost his form and confidence this season while Kuchar has not played with his usual consistency for the past few months.
Bovada – Latest odds for the US Open.
8:39am Patrick Reed to beat Chris Kirk and Jamie Donaldson at 2.35.
Reed once said that he had the potential to make the top five in the world rankings and he could well deliver on that promise. He played some great golf at Chambers Bay during the US Amateur Championship in 2010 so is one of the few players in the field with competitive experience of the unusual course. He has won four PGA titles before turning 24, including at the start of the year on a seaside course like this week's venue. Kirk will give him most to do as he is comfortable playing in a breeze while Donaldson is yet to figure in the majors.
1:22pm Luke Donald to beat Ryo Ishikawa and JB Homes at 2.50.
Donald is a former world number one who has dropped down the rankings to such an extent that he had to play in qualifying for this year's US Open. He made the field with nothing to spare and can contend with some confidence restored. He excels on courses that require careful thought and good shot management and putting has always been a strength. Donald has had a mediocre year but will relish the demands of the course and conditions. Ishikawa has not trained on from a bright career start and has played poorly all year while Holmes has no top-tens in majors.
Sportsbook – Receive a huge signup bonus as soon as you make a deposit
1:33pm Ernie Els to beat Geoff Ogilvy and Retief Goosen at 2.75.
This group involves three former US Open champions who are now in the veteran stage of their careers but Els is the one who is still a potential major champion. The two times winner believes he can win another major and Chambers Bay provides him with a decent opportunity to add to his tally of four. Els should enjoy the links style challenge and despite showing no form recently can outscore his playing partners. Ogilvy is the most dangerous as he has won on a wind affected course and it is six years since Goosen's last tournament win.
2:06pm Branden Grace to beat Brendon Todd and Thongchai Jaidee at 2.50.
Grace is a multiple winner on the European Tour and his home circuit in South Africa and is proven on links courses. Despite being a six times winner in Europe he has not threatened to win a tournament on the PGA Tour but finished seventh in the Heritage in April. Grace loves links golf and he could contend for this major as it replicates conditions at the British Open like no other previous US version. Todd is a short and accurate player who puts well but may not hit the ball far enough to contend this week and Jaidee has never posted a top ten finish in 24 majors.

"Turmoil in the Toy Box" Revisited
By Neil Emmett | 10/23/2013 4:38 pm | 44 Comments
In the seventies and eighties, musicians such as KISS and Alice Cooper were accused by concerned moralists of indoctrinating children with all manner of satanic debauchery. Author Phil Phillips took things a step further in 1986: to Phillips, you did not need to watch a Gene Simmons performance to find this diabolic agenda. You need only watch an episode of Care Bears.
Phillips' book Turmoil in the Toy Box is an odd mix. Its points about commercialization and media violence are often legitimate; at the other end of the scale we have Phillips' claims that Satan caused his camera to malfunction while he was photographing toys, and that God personally told him to go on his crusade:
"Out of the blue the Lord said, 'Phil, do you know what happens when children play with a toy?… Through toys like the one you have in the backseat of your car, Satan is gaining control of the minds of millions of children everywhere.'"
Much of his research into the occult and paganism is suspect: at one point Phillips tells us that pre-Christian Norsemen performed rituals wearing Darth Vader masks. Still, people bought the book, and the covers of later editions proudly proclaimed that over 135,000 copies were in print.
Phillips also appeared in a series of videos alongside Pastor Gary Greenwald. Some of the more remarkable clips are compiled in this video:
The two men were apparently competing to make the most bizarre claims: Phillips' allegation that Smurfs represent undead corpses was a definite contender, but Greenwald came out on top with an anecdote about Dungeons and Dragons game pieces screaming in pain when thrown into fires.
This claim is reminiscent of the "deliverance ministry" movement, which holds that certain objects are inhabited by demons and should be burnt. Lake Hamilton Bible Camp claims that children with Smurf toys are open to vampire attacks, while Stan and Elizabeth Madrak's website Demonbuster collects reports such as this:
"On Saturday evening I was watching television when my daughter of 2 came out of her room to tell me that her doll was moving by itself. I assumed that it probably fell off the shelf so to satisfy her I got up and went to her room. When I got there to my surprise she had a stuffed troll doll dancing in the middle of her bedroom floor to a Disney movie playing music . Being raised in church I began pleading the blood of Jesus and commanded that spirit to leave then the doll went limp and fell over on the floor. I took the doll outside my house and burned it."
Secular commentators are not immune to this sort of thing. Political philosopher John Grey, author of Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia, sees the conspiracy theory as a vital aspect of what he terms "political religions":
"Modern political religions may reject Christianity, but they cannot do without demonology. The Jacobins, the Bolsheviks and the Nazis all believed in vast conspiracies against them, as do radical Islamists today. It is never the flaws of human nature that stand in the way of Utopia. It is the workings of evil forces."
Cartoons enter the subject with the concept of "predictive programming." Many conspiracy theorists hold that atrocities such as terrorist attacks are actually inside jobs orchestrated by governments; some go further and claim that conspirators hide veiled references to their plans in popular media beforehand.
For example, various videos on YouTube point to a 1997 Simpsons episode where Lisa holds up a picture of the World Trade Centre alongside the number 9; this is taken as evidence that Matt Groening knew about 9/11. This theory posits that the world is run by what must be a cabal of Batman villains, deliberately leaving clues to their plots purely so that they can be caught in the end.
Then we have the secular demonology of extra-terrestrials. In her book Strange Creations, self-proclaimed "crackpotologist" Donna Kossy casts a bemused eye over Cosmic Awareness, a group which claims that two species of alien—Greys and Reptoids—are meddling with human affairs. Barney the Dinosaur and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, according to the group, were created by the Reptoids so that children would accept their forthcoming conquest of Earth. (Indeed, both species seem interested in Earthling pop culture: "When asked what his favourite musical group was, one Grey answered, 'New Kids on the Block'," relates Kossy.)
This is very much the lunatic fringe, of course. Phil Phillips did not need a crackpotologist to dig up his cottage industry: after Turmoil in the Toy Box came a sequel, videos, and subsequent books by Phillips such as Saturday Morning Mind Control. What was it about Turmoil which allowed it to capture even a small slice of the public imagination?
Turmoil was written during a definite changing point in children's media: He-Man, its main target, was the first cartoon series created to promote a toyline. Heavy merchandising of children's entertainment was not entirely new; Vance Packard's 1957 book The Hidden Persuaders relates how in 1955—shortly after Disney's Davy Crockett series premiered—American children and their parents spent $300,000,000 on faux coonskin caps and other Crockett-related items. But Davy Crockett is a public domain character, and a reassuringly traditional one. Phillips examined a different landscape, where every pop culture figure is closely guarded by a corporation.
The book also contains a revealing passage in which Phillips identifies the root cause of all the turmoil: the sixties counterculture.
"Many of these writers and creators [of cartoons] came out of the 60's generation and the drug era, during which they were involved in Eastern religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Some are still involved in these practices. Many live in Hollywood… the very nature of Hollywood leads to a hedonistic way of living, which often involves 'meditation', drugs and Eastern religious influences. In line with their lifestyles, most of these cartoon writers and toy designers are not church-going people."
Perhaps the appeal of Turmoil in the Toy Box was that, beneath its waffle about Beelzebub, it touched upon some deeper anxieties surrounding modern culture.

A hydrogen charging station installed at the National Assembly

A hydrogen charging station installed at the National Assembly. September. 11, 2019 07:35. by Choong-Hyun Song balgun@donga.com.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy held a ceremony in front of the National Assembly building on Tuesday to mark the completion of the hydrogen charging station in the presence of National Assembly Speaker Moon Hee-sang, Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon, and Industry Minister Sung Yun-mo. The charging station has a capacity of 25 kilograms an hour, supplying hydrogen to about 70 vehicles a day.
The National Assembly's hydrogen charging station is the nation's first case of a regulatory sandbox, which allows a grace period or waiver of regulations for new products or services. Hyundai Motor applied for the relaxation of regulations on the installation of hydrogen charging stations in cities and received approval from a deliberation committee in February.
"It is symbolic for a hydrogen charging station to be installed at the National Assembly, which is a legislative body representing the people, like the hydrogen charging stations set up near the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Tokyo Tower in Tokyo," said an official at the ministry.
Currently, a total of 29 hydrogen charging stations including the one of the National Assembly are under operation across the country. The ministry said it will increase the number to 301 by 2022 and 1,200 by 2040 under the Hydrogen Economy Roadmap. According to the government, it will present ways to speed up the installation of hydrogen charging stations within this month.
The ministry also said it will pilot-run hydrogen taxi service in Seoul. Taxi companies including Samwhan and City Taxi will operate five hydrogen taxis each. The government plans to increase the number of hydrogen taxis to 20 by the end of 2022. The ministry expects that the pilot project will provide up to 800,000 Seoul citizens with the experience of hydrogen taxis for the next five four years.

DOJ Agrees to Turn Over 'Key Evidence' from Mueller Investigation
Jerry LambeJun 10th, 2019, 1:29 pm
On a day when hearings on "presidential obstruction and other crimes" were set to begin, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had agreed to begin turning over "key evidence" from Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
"I am pleased to announce that the Department of Justice has agreed to begin complying with our committee's subpoena by opening Robert Mueller's most important files to us, providing us with key evidence that the Special Counsel used to assess whether [President Donald Trump] and others obstructed justice or were engaged in other misconduct," Nadler said Monday. "All members of the Judiciary Committee—Democrats and Republicans alike—will be able to view them. These documents will allow us to perform our constitutional duties and decide how to respond to the allegations laid out against the President by the Special Counsel."
While the full scope of the documents the Department of Justice plans to turn over is not yet known, the Committee believes that obtaining the documents could be a turning point in the Committee's investigation into whether President Trump committed obstruction of justice, according to The New York Times.
@RepJerryNadler
What categories of info will DOJ provide?
Will they include grand jury material?
Will you seek a court order to obtain grand jury material?
What info will DOJ withhold? Why?
Will you make the info DOJ provides public?
— Ross Garber (@rossgarber) June 10, 2019
Nadler's Committee had been negotiating with Attorney General William Barr and the Department of Justice for weeks to gain access to the remaining redacted portions of Mueller's report, as well as the underlying evidence used by the Special Counsel's Office. The announcement comes just one day before the House was scheduled to vote to authorize civil action against Barr for his refusal to produce the documents.
Nadler also stated that his Committee will delay scheduled contempt hearings stemming from the matter, provided the DOJ acts in good faith with their agreement.
"Given our conversations with the Department, I will hold the criminal contempt process in abeyance for now. We have agreed to allow the Department time to demonstrate compliance with this agreement. If the Department proceeds in good faith and we are able to obtain everything that we need, then there will be no need to take further steps," Nadler continued. "If important information is held back, then we will have no choice but to enforce our subpoenaing court and consider other remedies."
The DOJ previously called contempt proceedings "premature and unnecessary," adding that it was willing to engage in further negotiations if contempt was taken off the table.
Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that he was glad Nadler "has finally met [DOJ] at the negotiating table," saying that the agreement "further debunks" any claims that the White House was stonewalling Congress on the issue.
"In light of today's agreement from the Justice Department, it's logical to ask: Is the chairman prepared to rescind his baseless recommendation to hold the attorney general in contempt, or do House Democrats still plan to green-light lawsuits against the attorney general and former White House counsel tomorrow?" Collins said.

To Enhance Election Security, Rhode Island Tests A New Way To Verify Election Results
Rhode Island is making good on its promise to road-test risk-limiting election audits, following 2017 passage of legislation by the Rhode Island General Assembly, requiring them. Beginning with the presidential primary in April 2020, Rhode Island will become the second state to require these audits to verify election results. A "risk limiting" audit checks if the election result is correct. Specifically it checks the counting of the votes. A "risk-limiting" audit limits the risk that the wrong election result will be certified. It can catch errors which change the result and correct a wrong result.
For more background on the legislation, visit here: and here.
To prepare for next year's full implementation, the Rhode Island Board of Elections will conduct three pilot audits on January 16 and 17 at 50 Branch Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island beginning at 9:30 a.m. These pilot audits will be conducted with local election officials from Bristol, Cranston and Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
The purpose is to test three different methods for conducting risk-limiting audits. A variety of tasks will be conducted over two days, including hand tabulation of a sample of ballots. For purposes of planning future audits a time and measurement study will be conducted over the two days.
Rhode Island will demonstrate three types of audits:
Ballot-level comparison audit for Bristol precincts: This method A ballot-level comparison audit is an audit that is similar to checking an expense report. First the audit checks that the subtotals add up to the reported totals. And then individual ballots are checked against how they are recorded by the machine – similar to checking receipts against numbers in a spreadsheet.
Batch-level comparison audit for Cranston precincts: This method will check a random sample of ballot "batches" and compare the total vote count of those batches against the voting machine's count. A batch will consist of between 250-300 ballots.
Ballot-level polling audit for Portsmouth precincts: This method will check a random sample of ballots with the reported outcome, not against the voting machine's record of those votes. This is comparable to an exit poll. But instead of using the voters' responses to questions, it checks marking of the actual ballots. Enough ballots are sampled to give election officials confidence that the outcome is correct.
"We strongly support the Rhode Island Board of Election's piloting risk-limiting audits as they prepare for full implementation of our law in 2020. Given recent threats to US cybersecurity, risk-limiting audits help conduct accurate, fair elections, strengthening voter confidence in election results," said John Marion, Executive Director of Common Cause Rhode Island. "We hope many other US states will follow Rhode Island's example," he added
"Rhode Island's Board of Elections' risk-limiting audit pilot is a critical step toward safeguarding our elections. Paper ballots, marked by hand or device, are the essential ingredient for ensuring that jurisdictions can recover from errors or tampering. Paper ballots coupled with routine risk-limiting audits are the best way to detect whether the software reported the election results accurately," said Marian K. Schneider, president of Verified Voting.
"Rhode Island is helping lead the nation toward the future of election administration and election security by piloting risk-limiting audits," said Lawrence Norden, deputy director of the Brennan Center's Democracy Program. "They are the gold-standard in post-election checks, and implementing them across the country is essential to catching problems with vote tallies and ensuring voter confidence. The pilots offer a great learning opportunity for officials and advocates alike, and they will help improve RLA processes as these audits become more widespread."

A Somali military official says hundreds of African Union and Somali troops have swept into a town north of Mogadishu, forcing al-Shabab militants to flee.
They are called the ciyaal baraf, or the children of the snow. The kids of a generation who fled blood-stained Somalia two decades ago.


Sanat Kumara is known as the Ancient of Days. He is the Great Guru of the seed of Christ throughout cosmos, hierarch of Venus and one of the [[seven holy Kumaras]] (Lords of Flame who represent the seven rays on [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]]). He initiates us on the path of the ruby ray, which he sets forth in his book ''The Opening of the Seventh Seal''.
'''Sanat Kumara''' is known as the '''Ancient of Days'''. He is the Great Guru of the seed of Christ throughout cosmos, hierarch of [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]] and one of the [[seven holy Kumaras]] (Lords of Flame who represent the seven rays on Venus). He initiates us on the path of the [[ruby ray]], which he sets forth in his book ''The Opening of the Seventh Seal''.
He has held the hierarchical position of the [[Lord of the World]] since the darkest hours of earth's history when her evolutions fell to the level of cavemen and lost contact with the God flame and the mighty [[I AM Presence]]. When the earth was at the point of being dissolved because there was no one who was keeping the flame of the Christ consciousness alive, Sanat Kumara came to earth, a voluntary exile from his planet Venus, to keep the flame until sufficient numbers among mankind would respond and begin once again to maintain the focus on behalf of their brothers and sisters. One hundred and forty-four thousand souls volunteered to assist Sanat Kumara in his mission and accompany him with legions of angels.
The ancient custom of the [[Yule Log]] has come down to us from the service rendered by Sanat Kumara who, each year, consecrated a focus of the sacred fire in the physical octaves. It became tradition for the people to come across many miles to take home a piece of the Yule Log and to use it to light their fires through the coming twelve-month cycle. Thus, a focus of his physical flame was tangibly manifest in the dwelling places of the people of the earth, enabling them to have actual physical contact with a focus of the Lord of the World in their midst.
Sanat Kumara also figures in several roles in the religious traditions of the East. Each one reveals another facet of his Divine Self. He is revered in Hinduism as one of the four or seven sons of [[Brahma]]. They are portrayed as youths who have remained pure. The Sanskrit name Sanat Kumara means "always a youth." He is the most prominent of the Kumaras.
