The Spring 2007 student election season brought another successful round of IRV elections including Stanford's highest turnout student election ever. Recent elections at Duke and Rice also showcase IRV's success on college campuses. More than half of U.S. News and World Report's top 30 schools now use IRV and/or choice voting for their student elections.
FairVote has helped a number of these institutions make the transition to IRV and continues to help other universities improve their elections through efforts such as the development of online IRV software.

Coalition of More Than 80 Organizations and Companies Call on U.S. Congress to End NSA Spying
11 June 2013 | 10:30 am
On Tuesday, Access and more than 80 organizations and internet companies sent a letter to Congress demanding an immediate halt to and investigation of the U.S. National Security Agency's surveillance programs. Other signatories include the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mozilla, and reddit.
The letter coincided with the coalition's launch of StopWatching.Us, a petition site demanding an inquiry into the scope and scale of the NSA's spying activities.
"Mass surveillance is a violation of the fundamental rights of internet users around the globe," said Access' Executive Director Brett Solomon. "We stand for the defense of the universal rights of all users to privacy and due process. Programs such as these are part of an alarming trend towards pervasive state surveillance and control of communications that violates individual rights, no matter what country you live in."
Individuals who would like to speak out against NSA spying are encouraged to sign here: https://StopWatching.Us
PRESS CALL:
The lead organizers of the letter to Congress and the petition site will host a call at 1pm EST today to discuss the revelations about the NSA's spying programs and the need for swift and decisive reform. The details of the call are as follows:
Call time: 1 p.m. EST
Call number: 424-203-8405
Dial-in code: 699082
Read the full text of the letter and the list of signers below:
Dear Members of Congress,
We write to express our concern about recent reports published in the Guardian and the Washington Post, and acknowledged by the Obama Administration, which reveal secret spying by the National Security Agency (NSA) on phone records and Internet activity of people in the United States.
The Washington Post and the Guardian recently published reports based on information provided by a career intelligence officer showing how the NSA and the FBI are gaining broad access to data collected by nine of the leading U.S. Internet companies and sharing this information with foreign governments. As reported, the U.S. government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person's movements and contacts over time. As a result, the contents of communications of people both abroad and in the U.S. can be swept in without any suspicion of crime or association with a terrorist organization.
Leaked reports also published by the Guardian and confirmed by the Administration reveal that the NSA is also abusing a controversial section of the PATRIOT Act to collect the call records of millions of Verizon customers. The data collected by the NSA includes every call made, the time of the call, the duration of the call, and other "identifying information" for millions of Verizon customers, including entirely domestic calls, regardless of whether those customers have ever been suspected of a crime. The Wall Street Journal has reported that other major carriers, including AT&T and Sprint, are subject to similar secret orders.
This type of blanket data collection by the government strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy. This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens' right to speak and associate anonymously and guard against unreasonable searches and seizures that protect their right to privacy. We are calling on Congress to take immediate action to halt this surveillance and provide a full public accounting of the NSA's and the FBI's data collection programs. We call on Congress to immediately and publicly:
Enact reform this Congress to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the state secrets privilege, and the FISA Amendments Act to make clear that blanket surveillance of the Internet activity and phone records of any person residing in the U.S. is prohibited by law and that violations can be reviewed in adversarial proceedings before a public court;
Create a special committee to investigate, report, and reveal to the public the extent of this domestic spying. This committee should create specific recommendations for legal and regulatory reform to end unconstitutional surveillance;
Hold accountable those public officials who are found to be responsible for this unconstitutional surveillance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Many studies endorse the effectiveness of using virtual reality in psychotherapy.
During the session, monitorization and control is made by the therapist through an interface while interacting with the patient who is being exposed to the stimulus.
Its use is based on immersive virtual exposure therapy, combined with psychotherapeutic techniques aimed at reducing the physiological activation and modifying the maladaptive thoughts.
The immersive quality perceived by the patient is way superior to other resources that are less sophisticated and normally used by therapists, whether it is photo, video or audio.
Facilitating and fostering the induction of emotions, thoughts reactions that are similar to a real exposure, it increases the therapeutic potential of the tool.
To go further in the empirical validation of our virtual environments, we are collaborating with reference institutions in the area of mental health for investigation and clinical projects and studies.
Here is a short demo of the content we can use for you.

Chairman Souder, Ranking Member Cummings, and distinguished members of the Committee: It is an honor to appear before you today to discuss the reauthorization of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program. ONDCP and the HIDTA Program are a vital part of our Nation's efforts to address the numerous threats that illegal drugs and drug trafficking pose to the safety and well being of our communities and citizens. My colleagues and I at the National HIDTA Directors' Association (NHDA) are impressed with the ONDCP reauthorization legislation recently introduced in the House of Representatives and believe it is an important step forward for both ONDCP and the HIDTA Program.
I come to you with over 34 years of law enforcement experience, including 20 years in drug law enforcement, ranging from investigating drug crimes to leading the Maryland State Police Bureau of Drug Enforcement and 11 years as the director of the Washington/ Baltimore (W/B) HIDTA. My colleagues in the NHDA and I collectively represent more than 1,000 years of law enforcement experience. I appreciate the opportunity to share the NHDA's views on the provisions of the reauthorization Bill that affect the HIDTA Program and our great Nation.
The proposed ONDCP reauthorization Bill contains numerous amendments and additions to the current authorizing language that should benefit both ONDCP and the National HIDTA Program. The NHDA's members are impressed with the insight and understanding demonstrated by the members of Congress who took part in drafting this Bill. It consistently emphasizes the most important lessons we have learned from drug control efforts over the past several decades and, when enacted, will implement numerous improvements to ONDCP and the HIDTA Program.
Improving the coordination of drug law enforcement activities among Federal, State and local agencies has proven to be one of the HIDTA Program's most valuable tools for enhancing the effectiveness of drug enforcement efforts. While overcoming barriers to true cooperation among drug enforcement agencies is often challenging, it is almost always justified by the enhanced operational effectiveness and expanded capabilities that it promotes. This reauthorization Bill will promote enhanced interagency coordination in a number of key areas. Through the requirement for the development of a Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy, coordination of drug enforcement operations on the Southwest border will receive the additional attention needed to bring about better results. The Bill also provides for enhanced coordination of international and domestic interdiction efforts through The Interdiction Committee (TIC).
Developing and sharing accurate, timely information and intelligence on drug trafficking and drug-related criminal activities is essential to the continued success of drug law enforcement efforts. The HIDTA Program has emerged as a national leader in the field of drug information and intelligence, operating a network of more than 50 regional law enforcement intelligence centers and promoting a wide variety of initiatives aimed at expanding information sharing. This reauthorization Bill will help law enforcement improve coordination of drug intelligence efforts through the General Counterdrug Intelligence Plan (GCIP) and require the HIDTA Program to conduct a program-wide assessment of its intelligence sharing efforts with an eye toward improving coordination and eliminating barriers to information and intelligence sharing. My colleagues and I applaud both of these initiatives and look forward to taking part in each of them.
Performance measurement and data collection are two areas in which the HIDTA Program has excelled in the past two years. The directors of the Nation's 28 HIDTA regions are actively engaged in efforts to enhance the HIDTA Program's performance measurement system; during my testimony before this Committee on March 10, I provided an overview of the Performance Management Process that we developed and implemented in 2004. The reauthorization Bill's focus on mandating comprehensive and effective performance measurement and reporting is commendable. The NHDA is pleased to see that this Bill incorporates numerous provisions aimed at improving data collection on drug use and drug trafficking, all of which are vital to performance measurement and, in the end, informed decision making.
Finally, this reauthorization Bill will implement some worthwhile changes in the HIDTA Program. In many cases, the Bill's language clarifies and expands existing program elements, such as the HIDTA designation process or the HIDTA Program's performance management system. The Bill also authorizes the HIDTA regions to support counterterrorism efforts and witness protection programs if their Executive Boards determine that such support is an effective means of advancing their regions' goals. Taken together, these changes will empower the HIDTA Program to operate more efficiently, better monitor its performance and build on its extraordinary record of success.
The requirement for ONDCP to issue an annual report to Congress on consultation activities surrounding the preparation of the National Drug Control Strategy is a welcome addition that is obviously designed to promote collaboration among ONDCP and State and local agencies and organizations. This is entirely appropriate in light of the fact that State and local governments and community organizations are generally the first to identify emerging drug trends and bear much of the responsibility for addressing the consequences of drug use and trafficking.
The GCIP provisions included in this Bill will be of great benefit to law enforcement. The inadequate coordination of drug intelligence efforts and the fragmentation among the centers responsible for producing and disseminating this intelligence are certainly not new problems, but they have become especially troublesome in today's environment where intelligence sharing is seen as a top priority. My fellow HIDTA directors and I welcome efforts to address these issues through the GCIP and look forward to playing an active role in its development.
The Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy proposed in the reauthorization Bill is another excellent idea whose time has definitely come. The increasing volume of illegal drugs being transported from Mexico, the migration of violent gangs such as Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) from Latin America into the United States and the Nation's continuing struggle with illegal immigration all point to the need for improved law enforcement coordination along the Southwest border. The Southwest Border HIDTA currently plays a prominent role in existing efforts to improve border law enforcement and all HIDTA regions will benefit from improved drug interdiction and intelligence gathering at the border. The NHDA strongly supports this provision and wants you to know that directors from the appropriate HIDTA regions are eager to volunteer their time and talent to participate directly in the shaping of this strategy from its inception.
One of the most significant obstacles facing the HIDTA regions and the HIDTA Program in developing improved threat assessments and performance measures is the limited amount of reliable and timely data that are available on many key aspects of drug use, trafficking and drug-related criminal activity. The data collection provisions integrated into this reauthorization Bill represent an important step forward in addressing this matter. To improve this process, the NHDA encourages you to consider inserting language authorizing the Director to promulgate a standard data reporting format that will simplify the data collection and analysis process.
One area in which the data collection provisions mentioned above may cause some difficulty concerns the term "drug-related crime." Due to the lack of a standardized definition of this term, there is no systematic collection of data on drug-related crime at the Federal, State or local levels. This issue will likely require considerable study before an agreement can be reached on how to define drug-related crime and how best to collect this data. Perhaps ONDCP should be charged with leading an interagency effort to address this matter.
This reauthorization Bill's provisions regarding performance measurement are especially welcome. HIDTA directors played a central role in creating the HIDTA Program's current Performance Management Process and are strongly in favor of efforts to improve and strengthen this process. The requirement that ONDCP regularly evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of its performance measurement systems and techniques will prove helpful in promoting the development of better tools for measuring program results and relevant drug-related trends.
The statement of purpose for the HIDTA Program incorporated into this Bill is excellent. It accurately captures the Program's current purpose and does a fine job of recognizing the changes that have taken place within the HIDTA Program since its establishment in 1988.
The new requirements for regulations governing the HIDTA designation process that mandate review of designation requests by a panel of independent experts are a welcome change from the loosely organized designation process that has been used by current and past administrations. Further, the NHDA is pleased to see that drug distribution activities and the harmful impacts of illegal drugs will be added to the list of factors to be considered in a designation decision.
The provisions authorizing counterterrorism assistance will be a useful addition to the HIDTA Program. Many HIDTA regions already share information with counterterrorism task forces and provide support for their cases on a routine basis. This provision will officially recognize and codify these efforts, offering yet another valuable channel for information sharing.
The NHDA supports the language requiring the Director, in consultation with the Attorney General, to ensure DEA participation in HIDTAs' Intelligence Support Centers. This will enhance the HIDTA Program's overall intelligence efforts, as many of these centers will benefit immeasurably from increased interaction with the DEA and access to DEA databases.
The requirement for an assessment of intelligence sharing efforts within the HIDTA Program is another excellent addition to this Bill. As the Program has grown over the years, the number of intelligence sharing systems and programs operating within it multiplied quickly. A systematic review of these systems and operations will significantly advance the HIDTA Program's ability to identify the barriers to information sharing and fashion workable solutions to remove them.
The evaluation requirements for the HIDTA Program outlined in this Bill are an important step toward developing an accurate, up-to-date assessment of the Program's overall performance. All of the HIDTA regions are actively engaged in a rigorous evaluation process and are prepared to report on their overall performance and outcomes. The HIDTA Program evaluation and reporting requirements will reinforce and strengthen these efforts.
Witness intimidation has become a very prominent issue in many of our Nation's communities, especially those that are suffering from increases in gang-related violence. As the Director of the W/B HIDTA, I commend Chairman Souder and Ranking Member Cummings for their personal attention to this issue and their sincere commitment to addressing it through the Dawson Family Community Protection Act. This Act will enhance protection for our most troubled communities and, in addition, fund efforts to promote witness protection. Witness protection programs not only benefit witnesses and their families and enhance prosecutors' chances of gaining convictions, but also bolster the general public's confidence in the criminal justice system. The measures proposed, such as temporary assistance to threatened witnesses and anti-crime hotlines, and the funds authorized will go a long way toward helping State and local agencies address witness intimidation in their communities.
The membership of the NHDA, which is comprised of each regional HIDTA Program's director and many deputy directors, wholeheartedly supports the proposed reauthorization Bill. In its present form, this Bill recognizes the need for improved coordination for drug enforcement and drug intelligence activities and proposes numerous constructive responses to address these needs. The Bill's performance measurement and data collection provisions will reinforce the HIDTA Program's recent advances in performance measurement and provide reliable and timely data to support threat assessment and performance measurement efforts. It also proposes worthwhile changes and additions to the operation of the HIDTA Program that will contribute to efforts to build on its considerable successes and adapt to the changing nature of the illegal drug trade.
The NHDA strongly supports this legislation and firmly believes that it represents a major step forward in the evolution of ONDCP and the HIDTA Program. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to share our views with this Committee.

National Standards of the Republic of China
Online Search for CNS
Notification of Work Programmes
The Standards Division (the First Division) of the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), MOEA is responsible for the development and compilation of National Standards of the Republic of China (CNS).It is recognized that the establishment of consistent standards for products, procedures and services is important to ensure a constructive relationship between production and consumption.The CNS is developed by consensus with the participation from interested parties to promote public welfare by taking into account of consumer interests, industry needs and international practices.
Standards are documents approved by consensus by a recognized body that provide, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for products, processes and services.The CNS is the basis for government agencies, public and private organizations, enterprises, factories, certification bodies or laboratories to carry out inspection, certification, accreditation, recognition or other conformity assessment activities.The application of CNS ranges from voluntary use by businesses in purchase or production to mandatory use when referenced by technical regulations.
"The Standards Act" was promulgated in 1946 and a National Bureau of Standards was established then under the Ministry of Economic Affairs to manage standardization matters.The Act was subsequently amended in 1997 in order to accommodate changes to global trade, on the one hand, and to meet the obligation for acceding to the World Trade Organization. The Regulations for the Establishment of National Standards was amended in 1996 and 1998 respectively to promote the quality of standards and facilitate the harmonization of national standards with international standards.On January 26, 1999, the standardization activities were taken up by a newly formed organization, "Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI)", as a result of government re-organization in order to integrate conformity assessment related activities.
The 21st century is an age of global market competition. National standards play an important role in leading the industry to adapt to the fast changing economic situation under a trade environment with more liberalization and internationalization.Having recognized this, more efforts will be devoted in participating in standardization activities of international and regional standardizing organizations to understand the development of international standards.It is hoped that our industry would be able to provide their products or services meeting the requirements of international standards and thus expanding their market share in global trade through the procedure of harmonizing the CNS with international standards.

José Dionisio López (1901 – death date unknown) was a Cuban outfielder in the Negro leagues and the Cuban League in the 1910s and 1920s.

A native of Regla, Cuba, López played in the Negro leagues for the Cuban Stars (West) in 1920. He also played in the Cuban League for the Habana and Almendares clubs between 1918 and 1928, and played minor league baseball in the 1920s for such clubs as the Columbus Senators and the Waco Cubs.

In a report from the BBC today a man has reportedly died due to receiving substandard care from medical professionals at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.
A watchdog found that the man, indentified only as "Mr D", saw his health decline - which subsequently led to his death - after medical professionals at the Wales hospital missed opportunities that may have helped prevent it.
Speaking to the BBC, Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Nick Bennett said Mr D had respiratory failure and should have been moved to a high dependency unit.
Mr D was admitted to hospital in December 2014 and suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He was diagnosed with pneumonia and respiratory failure, and a day later his was daughter, who works for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, was informed that Mr D was improving and he could be discharged.
But within the next 24 hours Mr D's condition worsened and four days after his admission, on Christmas Day, Mr D suffered a cardiac arrest and died.
His daughter complained to the health board in February 2015, and they have since issued an apology to the family, however it wasn't until 19 months later that they responded to the complaint.
Although tragic, these cases of preventable instances of medical negligence are quite common. If you believe that you or a loved one have suffered due to the mistakes of a medical professional, there are legal experts who can help you claim for compensation.
At The Specter Partnership, our clinically qualified medical negligence solicitors have over 25 years experience in winning claims of this nature.

Whether this astounding and bitter story has any moral I am not sure, but it defies the old phrase "stranger than fiction." It's just as well that Reiss didn't write his "Quest for Kurban" as a novel. Who would have believed a word of it?
What I find rather interesting myself is that Reiss's central thesis (that Lev Nussimbaum was Kurban Said) isn't presented as just that–a hypothesis. Amardeep Singh points out that in the Anchor Books version of Ali and Nino, there is an afterword that points to another possible author: Baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels.
It was impossible for decades to identify the author behind the pseudonym, but it now seems clear that "Kurban Said" is a pseudonym for two different people– a woman, the baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels, and a man Lev Nussimbaum. . . . Lev Nussimbaum–who possibly had the original idea for the novel–was Jewish, born in Baku [in Azerbaijan] in 1905. Nussimbaum's father took Lev and perhaps a German governess to Berlin during the tumult of the Russian Revolution. Nussimbaum completed his studies there, became a journalist and later wrote books about Mohammed, Nikolas II, Lenin, Reza Shah Pahlevi and regional geo-political issues. These books were published in London and New York under the name Essad Bey, the name he had taken in his youth when he converted to Islam. After Hitler seized power, Nussimbaum fled Berlin for still-independent Austria where an intense friendship with Baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels, her family, and her circle, developed. Ali and Nino is almost certainly result of this relationship. Which sections of the novel are the work of which author remains an unsolved mystery.
This is the stuff that legends are made of, and I'm sure speculation about who the real Kurban Said is won't stop anytime soon.

Merri Peck called the meeting to order at 7 PM. Donna Griffin began our open discussion of "Wilmington—The Way it Was," by talking about how she first came to Wilmington in 1954 and every summer thereafter there were more motels and new businesses in town. There was some discussion about tourist attractions, The Mystery Spot being one. Doug Wolfe discussed the history of buildings related to Whiteface and the ski area. He showed us a copy of a book titled, How to Build Cabins, Lodges and Bungalows that his father had used to build his cabins on Bonnie View. He also built the Bonnie View Golf Links. Doug also showed pictures and talked about buildings on Whiteface and at the Marble Mountain ski area. Guy talked about the old road that runs behind Owen, Copperas and Winch ponds. It was once used to haul iron ore to the North Elba forges.
Merri opened the business meeting and called for the secretary's report. She pointed out an error in the July minutes. In paragraph six the Name "Kempton Price" should be changed to read Kempton Pierce. Guy made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected and his motion was seconded by Linda Joss-Dyke. All voted in favor.
Donna presented the treasurer's report. At of the end of July we had $10,913.39 in our Adirondack Foundation fund, $3,617.71 in our bank account, $100 in our NBT Building Fund Account and $100 in petty cash. Guy moved to approve the treasurer's report and Bob Cressey seconded the motion. All voted in favor.
Merri reported on communications. Karen Peters sent a thank you letter to several businesses in town to thank them for selling the Arcadia book Wilmington and the Whiteface Region and asking them to continue supporting us in this way. Karen received an email from Dennis Keegan saying that he had found an interesting article about John Jay and he asked for the contact information for history in Jay so he could forward it to them. Karen responded with that information. We received a letter from Dave Ruch thanking us for having him perform at the Range Hall. Karen sent a thank you to him for the "Ballads, Bunkhouses, Fiddles and Flings" concert he gave on July 17th. She inquired whether he might be willing to create a CD of "The Stolen Gun" for historical presentations. Karen also received and responded to another email concerning cemetery preservation from Jan Ward. Marty Podskoch sent an email advising that he plans to pass out bookmarks with information about the club and patch for all who have purchased his Adirondack 102 Club book. He said that the book does not have information on getting a patch to become a "Vagabond" and he asked for suggestions. The Adirondack History Museum sent a message about their Adirondack Fire Tower Program family days. The first scheduled day was July 22nd and the second will be held on August 12th.
We had a research inquiry from someone looking for baptism records from the 1820s and 1830s. Karen referred the requester to Jay, since Wilmington had not yet separated from Jay at that time. Karen referred a request for information about the Wolfe family to Doug. Donna Foucaud sent an email about Walter Bottger who is looking for anyone who might have known his kin. Doug will look into this request. Donna Griffin did two interviews focused on the history of North Pole Campground and Whiteface Terrace.
Nancy Cressey presented the membership report. During the month of July we received 24 memberships largely as a result of the reminders that recently went out.
Guy reported for the cemetery committee that he and Karen attended the cemetery preservation workshop at Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake. There were two presenters who both provided much valuable information. The first speaker was a lawyer who gave a good tip on how to address the requirement for a legal notice before working on headstones for which no relative can be located. He suggested we do a single notice listing all the names for any headstones that we may want to repair now or in the future. The other speaker was an expert in preservation and repair and he also provided some good information that we did not have. Guy said we have now received the repair estimate and the cemetery committee can pick two headstones to work on with the funds budgeted by the town. Guy also talked about the possibility of having the preservation specialist give a workshop locally. Linda suggested a project for children to do stone rubbings and then research about some of the people on the older stones.
Our next program is "Lost Ski Areas of the Northern Adirondacks" by Jeremy Davis on Friday, August 21st at 7PM. Open discussions for our next two meetings are Wilmington Family History #1, the Lawrence family on September 2nd and Wilmington Family History #2, the Winch family on October 7th. Our next research day is Tuesday, August 18th from 10AM to 1PM.
Discussion turned to old business. As previously indicated, Karen contacted businesses selling our book to encourage them to continue to do so. The first annual Adirondack 102 Club Dinner will be held 6PM Thursday, September 3rd at Jimbo's Club at The Point in Brant Lake, NY. Linda Joss-Dyke plans to hold a fundraising committee meeting to discuss the proposed dinner and/or wine tasting. Raffle basket themes will be a party-themed basket, something for kids and a tool/gadget basket. The Festival of Colors is Saturday September 19th. Donna will have our Pay Pal card swiper working before the Festival so we will be able to accept credit cards. All were reminded that if we purchase anything from Amazon to use Amazon Smile and designate the Wilmington Historical Society as our charity of choice. Amazon will donate a small percentage of the purchase price to the WHS at no cost to the purchaser.
The ceremony for the re-dedication of the Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway scheduled to take place August 6th at the summit has been postponed. The 12:00 ceremony and lunch at the ski center is still on. No invitation is needed.
Our next meeting is September 2nd. Guy made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Gil Dyke seconded his motion. All voted in favor.

Touring tires on large bikes undergo a torture test every summer. Weighing 900 pounds or more fully loaded, these behemoths of the two-wheeled world place a huge demand on tires, which also have to provide long life, excellent traction and grip–even in the rain–at an affordable price. For a recent cross-country trip from Southern California to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and back, I decided to give Michelin Scorcher 31 tires a try on my Road Glide Ultra. Recently approved for use with the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, Road Glide and Street Glide, the 31s are also the original equipment tire for almost all of the Sportster and Dyna models and made for the Harley brand with small "Bar and Shield" emblems molded into the sidewalls.
Road conditions varied significantly from state to state on this cross-country ride, from horrible to smooth as glass. The Scorchers handled it all with aplomb. Bumps and potholes were dealt with smoothly with little directional deviation, in part thanks to Michelin?s Amplified Density Technology (ADT), which gives them a stiffer carcass. In curves up to and exceeding floorboard contact with the road, they always maintained a steady lean angle, which was particularly noteworthy during spirited riding on California mountain back roads. There were even a few sections of unanticipated dirt road in New Hampshire (thanks GPS) on which the tires felt well planted and stable, with little loss of traction even under (intentional) hard acceleration. There was naturally some slippage but they were predictable and didn?t kick out to the side. Riding two-up the Scorchers were comfortable and handled freeway rain grooves with just a little wiggle, although on severe grooving such as the Mackinac Bridge metal gratings, they did wander a little bit. Again, nothing alarming, but enough to let you know you had better pay attention. Temporary patches in the roadways, also known as "tar snakes," resulted in a little bit of a squirm but nothing unnerving, and on rough freeway roads throughout the New York area my Road Glide kept its solid footing when dodging large potholes. On the back roads of Michigan, which are treated quite roughly with snowplows, the Scorchers did not seem to be adversely influenced by grooves in the roadways. They remained well planted and responded well to input.
Overall, the Michelin Scorcher 31 tires are a nice upgrade from the stock tires on touring bikes. Michelin put quite a bit of R&D into these tires and it shows. Depending on size, prices range from $187 to $347.

Bayonne City Council approves $131 million budget, 2.9 percent tax increase
Updated Jul 2, 2015 ; Posted Jul 2, 2015
By Ben Shapiro | The Jersey Journal

Property taxes in Bayonne will rise by nearly 3 percent in the $131 million municipal budget that was adopted Tuesday at a special City Council meeting.
Bayonne Business Administrator Joseph DeMarco credited the bump in taxes to the city's structural deficit.
"The current administration inherited a deficit," said DeMarco. "Now we need to make sure each year we practice a responsible budget and I believe we are doing that."
Bayonne's deficit dropped nearly $4 million dollars from last year and is currently at $20.7 million. At one point the deficit was more than $53 million.
Bayonne Chief Financial Officer Terrence Malloy has said that the city was able to trim $4 million from the deficit because of a zero-dollar McCabe Ambulance contract, Port Authority land payments, Alexan CityView property tax payments, parking taxes and other revenue items.
In 2014, an election year, city property taxes stayed flat, and that was a disservice to the community, given the deficit, DeMarco has said.
The adopted budget is $30,000 less than the budget that was introduced, that won't affect the tax increase.
"The drop in the budget was not enough to affect the overall percent change in the property taxes," said Malloy.
Property taxes are based on money that must be raised for municipal services, schools and county services. Bayonne's portion of the $525 million Hudson County budget increased just over $1 million, a 4 percent hike, this year.
Initially the city anticipated a $150,000 reduction in the budget, but a large portion of that was offset when Bayonne did not receive $120,000 in school aid it had expected, Malloy said.

Music, Science and Healing Intersect in an A.I. Opera
Lincoln Center artistic director Shanta Thake in "Song of the Ambassadors" at Alice Tully Hall.
Credit: Vincent Tullo/The New York Times
"This is what your brain was doing!" a Lincoln Center staffer said to Shanta Thake, the performing arts complex's artistic director, while swiping through some freshly taken photos.
It was the end of a recent rehearsal at Alice Tully Hall for "Song of the Ambassadors," a work-in-progress that fuses elements of traditional opera with artificial intelligence and neuroscience, and the photos did appear to show Thake's brain doing something remarkable: generating images of flowers. Bright, colorful, fantastical flowers of no known species or genus, morphing continuously in size, color and shape, as if botany and fluid dynamics had somehow merged.
"Song of the Ambassadors," which was presented to the public at Tully on Tuesday evening, was created by K Allado-McDowell, who leads the Artists and Machine Intelligence initiative at Google, with the A.I. program GPT-3; the composer Derrick Skye, who integrates electronics and non-Western motifs into his work; and the data artist Refik Anadol, who contributed A.I.-generated visualizations. There were three singers — "ambassadors" to the sun, space and life — as well as a percussionist, a violinist and a flute player. Thake, sitting silently to one side of the stage with a simple, inexpensive EEG monitor on her head, was the "brainist," feeding brain waves into Anadol's A.I. algorithm to generate the otherworldly patterns.

Most information available on sexual health are primarily geared towards women. However, men, particularly those who are sexually active are also at risk for sexual problems. Sexual health is an important aspect of a man's life and must be paid particular attention to. Threats on men's sexual health must be prevented and diminished, not only for their safety but also for that of their partners.
Contrary to popular belief, a man's physical constitution is not the sole determinant of sexual health. Often, some sexual problems are direct effects of a man's emotional problems. For example, it is commonly observed that physically healthy men who suffer from erectile dysfunction have a serious lack of confidence or are riddled with anxiety performance disorders.
Men usually get infected with STIs and STDs following unhealthy and unprotected sexual relationships with an infected partner. Usual signs of STDs and STIs include difficulty in urinating, bloody urine, foul penile discharge, sores, lesions, and excessive itching in the genitalia.
Immediate medical assistance must be sought when it comes to problems concerning male sexual health. Diagnosis is usually done through physical and psychological exams, as well as a thorough evaluation of medical history. Treatment usually comes in two phases: medical treatment for physical symptoms and psychological therapy for mental and social factors.

About Pykara
Pykara is a river located 19 km from Ooty. The Pykara is considered very sacred by the Todas. The Pykara river rises at Mukurthi peak and passes through a hilly tract, generally keeping to the north and turns to the west after reaching the plateau's edge. The river flows through a series of cascades; and the last two falls of 55 meters and 61 meters are known as Pykara falls. The falls are approximately 6 km from the bridge on the main road. A boat house by the Pykara falls and dam is an added attraction to tourists
About Masinagudi
Masinagudi, is a quaint little town on the Northern mountain edges of the Nilgiri hills. Bordering the fringes of the famous Mudumalai wildlife sanctuary and straddling the Moyar river, Masinagudi forms a center point between Ooty and Theppakadu.
The approach to Masinagudi from Ooty is through the famous Kalhatti ghat section, which is possibly one of the steepest motorable slopes in the area. A short 18 Kms route comprising of 36 hairpin bends, this sector is still a nightmare for Drivers who are not experienced behind the wheel. The road begins at the Thalaikundha junction (on the Ooty side) and snakes its way towards Kalhatty. A check post along the way forces vehicles like Tempo travelers, Tata Sumo, Qualis etc to stop and check for their brake pads. If they are warm they are waved to the side for them to cool down, for the next few Km's are the steepest and the most treacherous ones along the way. It is advisable to do these stretches in low gears and use the brakes to a minimum lest they warm up and do not grip the wheel when you need them most. The steep roads descends into the foot hills and a further 10 Km ride takes you to the town of Masinagudi.

Avalanche is an important tourism destination in the Nilgiris District, 25kms away from Ooty town. This area is surrounded by a rolling landscape with blooming flowers like magnolias, orchids and rhododendrons.

This is a two-article series. Part II, titled  'The puzzle involving interests of AfPak, China, India and the West' can be found here. Winning the ongoing war against overt terrorism apparently is the common win-all solution, however not so when one factors in covert intentions of involved state powers.
Each country, to smaller regions within bigger nations, is dynamically unique. As context happens to be the key in any analysis, and each context being unique again, the common mistake we all do, while analyzing geopolitical challenges, is to club such unique things into pre-defined categories, for ease of our analysis. It actually does not help the reality.
Pakistan's uniqueness since long has been defined by the three A's — Army, Allah and America. Over the years, ISI has largely replaced its army, be it as a legitimate proxy or as another interest group, within bigger interest of Pakistan's defense forces. The assumption in differentiating ISI from Army of Pakistan is driven by ground realities of terrorism in Pakistan. Pakistan defense has bled under the attack of terrorism, not the ISI so far, in any major way. It is also expected that army in Pakistan works at broader interests of the nation, unlike that of ISI again, which as the premier intelligence agency of Pakistan, thereby functioning under covert operations than transparent ones. However when the tail wags the head, inevitable problem arises – one needs to either cut off the tail, or swap the head and the tail.
Increasing US impatience over Pakistan's double-standards on war-against-terror, post the death of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, and subsequent bitter diplomatic exchanges, or verbal duets involving both the nations military establishments, which seem to get worse every day, justifiably bring us to the 2nd inflection point on role of America in future of Pakistan.
Pakistan is at a cross-road where one path continues to lead in the three A's direction, the other takes a radical divergence from the existing one, towards AIC – Allah, ISI, and China.
How impossible and Herculean does the task of finding the elusive win-all solution in AfPak really look like? Someone may opine, by the enormity of the conflicting interests of the involved parties, that having the hypothetical, utopian, elusive World Peace (and 'Santa Claus in reality') may be easier to achieve than having converging interests from these parties, for a sustainable peaceful solution for AfPak.
With the calls from the West growing now, that, as the US finally got Osama bin Laden, Western interests need no longer face the humiliation of another 'cut and run' in Afghanistan. West can simply do what the US did in Vietnam: "brings peace with honor in Afghanistan and AfPak region" – a more honorable withdrawal statement than setting another example of 'cut and run' in Afghanistan.
The matter is indeed complex. The key to the problem rests in the hands of ISI, and how well, Pakistan as a state, is able to prioritize the interests of her 170 million citizens, ahead of the interests of the ISI, or even that of its Army. In this context, the upcoming visit or Prime Minister Yusuf Raja Gilani to its all-weather friend China gains significance. It must be mentioned here that the visit was a pre-planned one, prior to the incident of Abbottabad.
However Pakistan PM Gilani's forthcoming China visit could not have been planned at any better time (President Zardari is already in Russia). A lot of answers may emerge from that meeting outcome – be it within the closed doors, or to public access.
What are these individual interests, bilateral interests, and the other multi-party interests on AfPak? Careful analysis may present some clarity, however much remains under the shroud, and is open to expert interpretations. This author lacks that expertise, from the ground levels.
The sensitiveness of the area and its ethnic groups of tribes, the topic and the passion of the individual national, to imperialists, interests of these five broad actors may make one confined to nationalistic sentiments alone, thereby ignoring the big picture. Matter of fact is; both nationalistic interests and the big picture are important, to get a grasp of the problem.
So, what are China's interests in Pakistan?
As long as it is not akin to China's relationship with nuclear North Korea, the possibility to find a solution brightens. There is US military base in South Korea, Japan and in the Philippines (along with the US justifications for maintaining a strong military presence in East Asia); China therefore would always love to wage its proxy wars, to protect its legitimate or whatever interests it its geographic proximities, under the guise of a rogue, nurtured nation.  Even if this analysis is right and acceptable to defenders of China, they would argue with the case of Israel gaining one such reputation in the all important Middle-East, under the patronage of the West, primarily from the US.
Alternatively, China's interests are purely economic and regional stability, for the stability of its own Muslim-populated areas bordering AfPak – namely Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It has absolutely no anti-US or anti-India elements in it, at least in the driver's seat, which is driving China's AfPak policies. However if the West, primarily the US, and India too make a mess of their strategic relationship with Pakistan; and also with people of Afghanistan, China need not be blamed for that. It would surely love to exploit the opportunity not directly aimed at, but offered by the failures of the US, NATO or other Indian interests.
The only additional point on China – it always analyzes its plans prudently before making any visible public actions. In spite of its increased stature, and rare but rising global demand, China has so far not deviated from the policies of Deng Xioping, i.e. to 'hide one's capacities & bide ones time'. So it would be naïve to think that China does not have holistic plans for AfPak, involving even military interests, at its very neighborhood. All said and done, it would naturally be discomforting for China to allow permanent US military base, or Western military bases in AfPak. The sooner they exit, more would be the comfort level of China with AfPak.
Increasingly, there seems to be convergence, at least on the surface, among the interests of Pakistan-China and Russia.
Part II of the series, titled 'The puzzle involving interests of AfPak, China, India and the West' can be found here.
[The author deliberately excluded nuclear-aspiring, and emerging key player of the Middle-East, Iran on the western border of AfPak; and Russian interests, be it to control terrorism in North Caucasus region or be it for obvious strategic interests at close proximity to Russia itself. The author acknowledges vital role for these two key players in AfPak sustainable solution; however, including those interests in one single series gets beyond author's understanding of the region].

This 911 GT1 ´98 sportscar represents the third generation of the Gran Turismo concept which began in 1996. On 23 February 1998 Bob Wollek rolls out with the new six-cylinder twin-turbo Porsche for the first time in Weissach. The GT1 ´98 is the first racing sportscar from Porsche to feature a carbon fibre chassis as a monocoque, which reduces the weight by 100 kgs to 950 kilograms. More rigidity and the possibility of an optimized aerodynamic layout are further advantages of the new materials. The GT1 is 20 centimeters (4.89 metres) longer and five centimetres (1.99 metres) wider, whilst the height is lowered by three centimetres to 1.14 metres. The 100-litre fuel tank is now centrally located between the drivers' compartment and engine. With two KKK turbo-chargers and 33.9 mm air restrictors, the 3.2-litre power unit delivers 550 hp (7,200 rpm). The power is transmitted to the rear axle via a sequential six-speed gearbox. The suspension functions with double wishbones front and rear. The braking system features eight piston brake calipers at the front and six at the rear axle and 380 mm carbon fibre brake discs.
1/43 PORSCHE 911 GT1 '98 made by MINICHAMPS are arriving in soon.

In just his second presidential veto, President Trump rejected a congressional resolution aimed to end U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future," Trump wrote in a letter to the Senate.
Tens of thousands have been killed so far in the four-year civil war between the Saudi coalition and Iran-backed rebels.
The Senate passed a resolution last month, 54-46, that would have required any troops not directly fighting al Qaeda to be removed from Yemen within 30 days. The House had similarly approved the resolution, 247-175.
Despite the overwhelming support, neither the House nor the Senate are expected to have the two-thirds majority needed to overrule the veto.
Beyond the militaristic issues at hand, lawmakers had viewed the resolution as a message to the president for his defense of Saudi Arabia in the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October. Multiple intelligence agencies have pointed to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as complicit in the killing, possibly even ordering the hit.
Last month, Trump issued his first veto against a Congress-led block of his emergency declaration to find funding for the border wall he had promised would be paid for by Mexico.

Breighan is the author of "Crowbars: My Activism Tool," found in the latest issue of T.O.F.U. For years she worked at Planet Organic, a health food chain in Canada, as one of the nutritional consultants. Recently, she made the decision to start the business she'd been dreaming of for years. With inspiration from Andrew W.K. reminding them to party hard, Crowbar Real Foods can be found in Halifax, and online:

Below you will find Breighan's answers to the wee survey I sent out recently.
In one word, why are you vegan?
How long have you been vegan?
Who would win in a fight: Quinoa or Cous Cous?
Quinoa, obv. It's got more calcium and iron and was held sacred by the Incans. Couscous is arguably not even a whole grain. Quinoa would kick the tar out of that poser.
Would you prefer to lead a revolution or to live quietly in the woods?
I'm getting old now. I know there are people way more passionate than me. When I was 21, I would've been out there right in front – in fact, I was. Someone else would do a better job. I'll do what I can from the woods to help. I promise.
If there is a revolution, will it be televised or a Facebook event?
Oh gawd, a facebook event. Nobody ever gets off their ass anymore. I think the revolution was the invention of Daiya cheese – or it seemed like that from the vegan Google alerts that I was getting.
Favourite vegan thing in your town (Halifax, Nova Scotia):
Hmm… Heartwood Bakery and Cafe, probably. That restaurant just keeps getting better. The specials are always fantastic and everchanging. It's nice to know that it's there.

INVERNESS boss John Hughes has joined Motherwell in the fight to land Lionel Ainsworth.
The winger is on loan at Fir Park and Stuart McCall is trying to extend the deal with Rotherham until at least the end of the season.
Ainsworth, who netted the winner in the Boxing Day victory over Aberdeen, has been told he has no future with his English owners and Well have been given first option, although Hughes has declared his interest in the speedy 26-year-old.
Rotherham boss Steve Evans said: "Motherwell have indicated to our chief executive that they would like to keep him and those talks are ongoing.
Lionel is a great kid and a good player.
"Lionel doesn't figure in my plans. He was made aware of the situation last summer because I have signed a number of other players in his position.
McCall is also keen to extend the loan agreement of Henri Anier from Viking Stavanger but must bridge a gap in the financial terms.
But it's understood the Estonian international has offered to take a wage cut to try and remain at Fir Park.

Bride of Second Chances : South Dakota Series : Book 3
Ruth Ann Nordin
Jeremy Graham made a promise to Rebecca, his wife, that he would never love another woman. After Rebecca's untimely death, her sister, Jane Syas, is about to be sold into marriage to a disgusting older man who only wants her to warm his bed and to do the chores around his house. Jeremy can't bring himself to stand idly by while her brother makes such an arrangement. Not only does he feel duty-bound to protect Rebecca's younger sister, but Jane's always been a friend in whom he could confide in. So he steps in to give her his name and his home, with the understanding that this is only a marriage of convenience. Love will never factor into the equation.
Jane, who has always been shy and content to hide in the shadows, begins to stir up old feelings in him—feelings for which Jeremy isn't prepared to feel again. And before long, he feels torn between holding onto the love he had for Rebecca and letting Rebecca go so that he can, once again, look forward to the future. With Jane, the future that spans before him could be wonderful, but he has to have the courage to take it. Does he dare do that? Or would he be betraying Rebecca?
