« Will Falcon Ask To Be The Candidate?
While Chavismo Should Hold Elections ASAP, Diosdado Only Talks About Delaying Them »
Is There Any Silver Lining For The Venezuelan Opposition From Sunday's Elections?
People have been trying to find a silver lining in Sunday's results for the opposition and I think they are stretching it too much, the results were very bad for the opposition. The only reason why they were not disastrous, was because Falcon won by 8% in Lara and Capriles by 4% in Miranda. But either of those two losing would have simply been a total disaster. From the raw results, Capriles barely avoided the cliff, but he only won by 4%, three percentage points lower than his margin of victory against Diosdado Cabello in 2008, who was at the time Governor and well known. Jaua on the other hand was less well known, a worse candidate and amazingly enough, a worse speaker than Cabello. Thus, I believe this margin weakens Capriles.
But I can imagine a room with Capriles and Falcón discussing who should be the Presidential candidate, should the need arise:
Falcón: Henrique, you should be the candidate. HCR: No, no, I only won by 4.01%, so please you be the candidate. Falcón: Oh, please, you be the candidate, you are our national leader. HCR: Oh please, you will probably be better at getting Chavista light votes and you won by 8.01% of the vote…and so on and so forth.
Because clearly, it will be very tough to beat Nicolás Maduro for either of them. In fact, I don't see today how this could be done, except if Chavismo fell sleep at the wheel and decided not to rush the Presidential election. But if the do the logical thing and hold it fast, unless Chavismo splits and something dramatic happens to turn off voters, I just don't see it possible that Capriles' small edge in his State can be turned into a national victory. And I think Falcón is not know nationally very well and he will not have time to campaign adequately.
And the abstention numbers were bad for the opposition on Sunday, because they show how demoralized and unmotivated voters felt after the October defeat. Yes, Chavismo also suffered from the same problem, but in both the 2007 Constitutional Referendum and the 2010 Assembly elections, opposition voters had been more militant than Chavista voters when the Presidency was not involved. Since the 2006 Presidential elections, the opposition had obtained an increasing percentage of the votes every single election, except in this one. Our voters had always been much more disciplined than Chavistas, who will only turn out in large number s when Chavez was involved. Opposition voters were increasingly there, but this time around they seemed tired and did not show up. Can they be woken up again fast? It would seem hard at this time, unless something happened to wake them up.
That we know Chavismo used all sorts of abuses to win on Sunday? Of course, see picture above, but they will be even more abusive in a Presidential race, because what is at stake is the future of the revolution. They would pull off all of the stops, as they know that Chavez' absence is a weakness, even if there will be some sympathy vote.
The opposition should have also held primaries in every single State, rather than leaving certain candidates out of "respect" for their regional leaderships. Most of those guys lost, like the Salas' in Carabobo or Perez Vivas in Tachira. In contrast, Chavismo removed some of the tired leaderships in certain states and even if they were replaced by Chavez' hand picked cronies, they won.
To me the main factors that explain Sunday's results were abstention and abuse of power. Abstention, because for the first time in a while, our militant voters stayed away. And I don't need to remind everyone of the myriad of abuse of power incidents that were seen in the last month, including the press conference on Sunday and Chavez' son in laws two appearances over the weekend telling us what is father in law wanted from the electorate. Curious that once the elections were over, there have no more calls to pray for Chávez, nor more masses held in his behalf. End of the charade once the votes were in!
About the only silver lining I have found is the abstention for Chavismo. It was higher than in any electoral event, save for the Constitutional referendum in 2007, which the opposition managed to win. This despite the heavy vote buying and all of the electoral tricks. Which only goes to prove that it is the opposition voters that need to be mobilized and motivated and not blamed for the defeat. In a scenario with no Chávez, Chavismo will no longer be able to feel comfortable going into any elections.
And in the end, as I have been saying, it may just be for the better. Let Chavismo deal with the economic adjustment necessary because of years of economic mismanagement. It will make the contrast between Chavismo with Chávez and without Chávez even stronger.
A small silver lining is the results in Bolivar State. Andres Velasquez is a fighter and will go as far as he can to demand his rights. He will probably lose his appeal in the end, but he should go ahead and publish all of the actas on the Internet for the world to see. And leaders from other states should go and support him.
And so we wait for Jan. 10th. (or Jan 5th.?) While regional leaders tell us Chavez is very sick, our own leaders tell us everything is under control and respiratory infections are controlled in hours in another miracle of the Cuban medicine that did Chavez in. Maduro says Chavez is improving day by day, while Diosdado suggests that Jan. 10th. can be postponed. Sure, so can the whole Constitution. Maybe it would be easier to just get rid of it and do whatever they want all the time. At least there would be no uncertainties.

The Grim Reaper Says:
As I thought:
http://www.ultimasnoticias.com.ve/noticias/actualidad/politica/cabello-asoma-posibilidad-de-que-chavez-se-juramen.aspx
Of course, that's what God-Given's Hair says.
Jack Ryan Says:
Is he dead yet?
NET Says:
Pretty much. Can be kept alive artificially for awhile until certain key organs fail….
Mega, and what if Chávez is kept alive, somehow, for one, two years?
(I don't think so, but that is not such a weird possibility, just less likely)
megaescualidus Says:
Chavez out of the picture (dead, kaputt, "ponchao", or whichever way you want to call it) will be such an inflection point in Venezuela's current affairs that, perhaps (and just perhaps) the opposition will feel re-energized again to go massively to the polls. Contrary to Miguel's argument, I keep saying Capriles's slim 4% win over Jaua cannot be extrapolated to a similar performance in a "presidenciales" elections. My reasoning is very simple: Chavez out-of-the-picture is precisely what the "escualidos" (myself included) have been waiting for for years. And, also contrary to Miguel's comments, I'd even think Capriles would have a good chance over Maduro even in the hypothetical scenario of new elections happening soon ("30 days after the absence").
Not if Smartmatic is there. You sound very naive. You underestimate your enemy, your foe, your adversary. There will be opportunities but not the way you say them.
Alberto Finol Says:
The opposition is completely wiped out, with or without Chavez Revolution reached the point of no return. The "damage" can stay in Venezuela cursing, those with money should emigrate now there is time, opponents no money should emigrate to Miami to do dirty things to survive .. They have no choice .. I think not withstand what remains of his life piece of cursing and waiting for the virgin appears and place in government ..! jejejeje..!
You are not the 'Beto Finol' are you? The one with ties to New Zealand?
PM Says:
If Andres Velazquez counts the actas again and they find he lost, he should apologize publicly. I agree that they should do a recount if he believes there's something fishy with the results. Saying, however, he's the new governor and claiming there's been fraud is extremely irresponsible. On top of that it wouldn't be the first time he does it..
Debbie Nash Says:
Dieterich blasts Cabello:
http://www.noticierodigital.com/2012/12/heinz-dieterich-arremete-contra-cabello-quiere-desconocer-la-designacion-de-maduro/
Oh, my God!
Chigüire Bipolar is reporting about a new analysis of article 233 of our constitution:
http://www.elchiguirebipolar.net/20-12-2012/irene-esser-re-escribe-articulo-233-de-la-constitucion/
Given the discipline the opposition voters have demonstrated I believe any decent candidate fielded by the opposition can achieve around the same as Capriles did in Oct 7th, anywhere between 34% and 37% of.the electorate.
Having said that I also think chavismo should be able to beat that with either Maduro or Arias Cardenas as the candidate getting around 39% to 41% with the machinery in full gear and with the chavista population in one of the first 3 grief stages: Denial, Anger and/or Negotiation.
Since the road is going to be long, the opposition should focus instead on the mayoral races, supposedly coming soon. Having learned from this experience they should be able to win many of the most important cities.
Venezuela is lost. Europe is a long way down that road, and America is heading that way too. Asia, on the other hand, is moving in the opposite direction (towards more liberty.) As they do, their economies grow and their people prosper.
The time to get out of Venezuela was a few years back (as I suggested numerous times). If you still can get out, you should leave NOW. I'd suggest Chile if you could get in. Perhaps Canada.
Manuel Scettri Says:
I hate to say I told you so, and also to repeat a previous comment from a couple of posts ago, but here we go again…discussing the legalities of the constitution.
The constitution is not worth the gazeta its printed on for these people!! When will we finally understand that?? The second the suggestion is made that Chavez can be sworn in from Cuba because hes too ill or that the date he is sworn in is irrelevant because what matters is the "peoples will" no some date…well then, what else can be said besides, Laws. Are. Useless!!
A. Shaw Says:
"Diosdado suggests that Jan. 10th. can be postponed." Octavio writes.
The Constitution in Article 231 says about "Jan. 10" that "The candidate elected shall take office as President of the Republic on January 10 of the first year of his constitutional term, by taking an oath before the National Assembly. If for any supervening reason, the person elected President of the Republic cannot be sworn in before the National Assembly, he shall take the oath of office before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice."
Clearly, everybody — including blind people — sees the Constitution is flexible about the place of taking the oath, since the Constitution specifies either the National Assembly or Supreme Court as venues for taking the oath.
But is the Constitution also flexible about when the oath can be taken?
The Constitution explicitly says the taking of the oath shall be on Jan. 10 when the taking is at the national assembly. But the Constitution is silent about when the taking must happen if the taking happens at the Supreme Court.
In other words, one can either restrict "Jan.10" to the first sentence of 231 or extend by implication "Jan 10" to the second sentence of 231.
We know Cabello likes the former view of 231, but the Supreme Court itself will likely chose the latter view. Personally, I don't think the Revo should gloat excessively over Oct. 7 and Dec.16. In other words, I agree with the likely Supreme Court view of 231. But, in either the former or latter view relative to 231, Cabello has very solid constitutional ground to stand on.
So, let's not be dismissive and arrogant toward Cabello because Cabello is just an engineer.
You like to insult a lot, but the only arrogant person is A. Shaw, there is a decision in 2002 that says such date can not be postponed. Jan 10 is not Jan 12th. the rest is BS in your mind and the interpretation that the first part does not extend to the second is simply silly law manipulation, there happens to be a comma before saying in front of the assembly, which means it will take place on that date no matter what. They will do whatever they like, because that is what they always do, the law and the Constitution be damned.
John Reistroffer Says:
There is an 800 pound gorilla in the room and everyone acts as if he's not there.
1) Is there any effort being made to clean up the electoral rolls?
2) What about a review of software being used in the electoral process?
3) Any ground truthing of votes cast to electronic results?
4) Anything being done about equal air time?
5) What about unfettered use of public money for one party to use for their campaign?
What gorilla?
Did you see a gorilla? Not me!
Anyone here see a gorilla?
No one here but us chickens!
What is the definition of insanity? Keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
That's 'cause it's an elephant, not a gorilla. Haha. Seriously, anybody notice where the appliances in the pictures came from? (Hint, Haier is fast becoming one of China's largest multinationals.)
Romer Says:
I agreed with you "Let Chavismo deal with the economic adjustment necessary " and I say let their win and rather than later the "Caracaso" will come, let their deal with the hungry people, with the debt that can't be afford, with a PDVSA falling apart, with the teachers and all the publics employees with a misery salary eaten by inflation, their will fall from grace and in the midle of the ashes there won't be another way than rebuild the country free of the communist trash.
unfortunately this will take a couple the years
notiven Says:
Don´t agree here with you Romer. It remembers me a time when opposition said don´t vote in the Assembly elections ( 2005 ) and let chavismo take all the blame and look what happened. If chavismo keeps deteriorating the Country, in a couple of years it will be even harder to recover It, so the sooner the better
I'm gonna vote for Capriles again and a thousand times if is necessary but stupid people is in love with the politic of "give me a house and a refrigeretor even is that will never happen" thats what I think Maduro will win.
that happend in 2005 was a mistake,but chavismo was lucky, remember than since then Oil increased its price from 40$ to 150$ that was the reason why the Chavismo could survive and support all the "misiones" But Now is different the Debt was then 34MM$ and Now is over 220MM$, Venezuela used to produced almost all their food, Now all is Imported and almost 50% of all business have closed, Comunism can't be sustained in time.
We need to be mayority to rebuild the country and for that happen the chavismo have to fall from grace and this only will happen when the country is in ashes.
I hope for the best ready for the worst.
I prey every day hoping to be wrong, I want that Capriles win the election and that we can save the country, but i dont think that will happen, ones again I hope to be wrong.
Miguel I guessed you didn't get the memo. The constitution was scrapped years ago.
notivenJavier Says:
Miguel, taking your words " In a scenario with no Chávez, Chavismo will no longer be able to feel comfortable going into any elections", it´s like saying there is no chavismo without Chávez
Psuv already started saying that their governors won without Chavez´ help, that they won because chavismo is already a way of life model and they do not need Chávez alive, they Psuv is starting to recognze that there is chavismo witout Chávez.
So the next presidential election will be a race to control the mind. Psuv saying that Chávez is not needed alive vs whatever the opposition has in mind. ( In this regard I wish this time opposition considers taking tips from people like JJ Rendón, the best campaigng manager south of the border. )
I think there is hope. If oppostion can bring in voters under the idea that this time there is a chance to win because Chávez is not running so they will vote for the winner, and at the same time demoralizing the chavistas saying that there is no chavismo without Chávez, then we can go back to your scenario in which with no Chávez chavismo will no longer be able to feel comfortable going into this election.
I think that you may be optimistic. Communist China and Russia survived for many years after the death of their emblematic leaders, Mao and Lenin. They did so because the cult-like figures of the founders had been built, the parties had close control of society and the communist parties closed ranks behind a leader.
In Venezuela, it seems to me that the first two conditions have been met already. The third, and main hope for the opposition, is for the Chavismo leadership to split. Of course, it would help if the opposition were more credible with the voters. Capriles may have run a good campaign, but he looks isolated to me.
I agree with Noel. As I've long stated, the problem isn't Chavez, it's Chavismo, and that isn't going anywhere.
If oil stays roughly the same, so will Venezuela. If oil collapses, then the government will do "whatever it takes" to maintain power. The last thing they will try is an economic/policy correction. In case anyone doubts this, look no further north than Cuba.
Keeping people "equally" impoverished isn't the goal, it's just the means to the goal. The goal? Why maintaining "first among equals" status, of course, silly.

The summit will be held on the grounds of the University of Torino, which is one of the oldest universities in Europe with excellent facilities for the size of our meeting.
Professor Laura Gasco and Professor Achille Schiavone have kindly accepted to coordinate arrangements with the University. The organizing committee is chaired by Ghassan Sayegh and I am sure he will be on top of things to make this event a successful one. Dr Martino Cassandro, President of the Italian Branch is heading the scientific committee and already topics are being proposed by members of the committee.
I would like to encourage all of you to propose topics and send them to Dr. Martino or to any member of the scientific committee. I would also appreciate your cooperation through your branches to start involving graduate students and encourage them to present papers so that we can have a strong graduate student participation similar and even better than we had at the 5th summit.
We are looking forward to a very successful conference and to the participation of many members from the Mediterranean region and beyond.


deadline looms around the corner.
Although some smaller revenue-generating measures have been voted on, Corzine?s proposed sales tax increase is being met with resistance. Those against the hike say the governor must look at other viable sources of income to balance the budget. However, others say the sales tax increase is the only way to close the nearly $5 billion budget gap. Democratic Assembly leaders said Monday evening that they've decided to move toward a budget plan that does not include thesales tax hike.
Corzine?s plan calls for raising the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. The state has missed the deadline in the past without a problem. However, the governor has already started making plans to close state services.


Foreign Affairs Minister of Bahrain Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohamed Al Khalifa called on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa here on Tuesday and appreciated Pakistan's contributions for conflict prevention in the region.
During the meeting, matters of mutual interest, including security situation in the region, were discussed. The visiting dignitary pledged to keep working for better relations between the two brotherly countries.
Separately, Commander of Royal Brunei Armed Forces Major General Pengiran Dato Paduka Seri Aminan bin Pengiran Haji Mahmud also called on Gen Bajwa and discussed regional security situation and matters of professional interest.
The Commander of Royal Brunei Armed Forces acknowledged the sacrifices and achievements of Pakistan Army in fight against terrorism and efforts towards regional peace.Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in a tweet Pakistan and Bahrain shared excellent bilateral relations, adding: "We want to build these relations through greater trade and investment". Qureshi expressed gratitude to Bahrain for its support at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) as well as its continued support for Pakistan's stance on regional matters.


A graphic shows the movement of New Yorkers during and around the worst storms of the last three years.
With eerie regularity, New York City has experienced a late summer/early fall freakish storm for each of the last three years. In September of 2010, there was the microburst paired with two tornadoes that touched down in Brooklyn and Queens. Then, in August of 2011 came Hurricane Irene. And, of course, last October, Superstorm Sandy inundated the city, paralyzing whole parts of the region for days.
The below data visualization, created by Eric Schles and Thomas Levine, tracks the impact each of those storms had on the city's transit system. The little black lines, which appear as squiggles on an earthquake seismogram, illustrate turnstile entries into New York's subway system from every entrance in the network (one continuous line represents one entry point). The regular waves of passenger traffic capture the flow of week days (peaks) and weekends (troughs).
Sandy clearly caused the most disruption, with parts of the subway system coming back online over the following week (those few horizontal lines in the midst of the storm show times when data points were missing, although the MTA did send workers into the subway while service was suspended). We've seen other compelling visualizations of Sandy's impact on the city's commuting patterns. This one neatly shows the rhythm of a city in perpetual motion – and what happens when it comes to a standstill.
"We wanted it to be really gritty and sort of raw," Schles says. "There are a number of things we could have done that would be higher level and really pretty. But we just felt like we needed to do the realness of the events justice. So something really stark, in black and white, seemed appropriate."

10 gram pack of size 11/0 Chinese A-Grade tube seed beads, colour is clear silver/lined. Approximately 2500 beads per 10g pack, beads vary in size but are approximately 1.5mm x 1.5mm (with an inner diameter of approximately 0.6mm). Our Chinese A Grade glass seed beads are available in a range of colours and sizes, and are a good compromise in quality and price between our high end Japanese seed beads and our budget Chinese seed beads (sizes are more uniform than the budget seed beads, but not as exact as the Japanese beads). Great for those starting out in seed bead work and projects where lots of beads are needed.

Ту́хля — село в Україні, у Славській селищній громаді Стрийського району Львівської області. Населення становить 2826 осіб.

Географія
Село лежить у вузькій долині річки Опіру. У межах села в Опір впадають дві його порівняно великі притоки — Цигла і Головчанка. На північно-східній околиці села потік Кобилець впадає у річку Опору.

У селі є залізнична станція Тухля, через поселення також проходить автодорога до смт Славське — відомого гірськолижного курорту. Завдяки тому, що сюди зручно добиратися (чи з боку Львова, чи із Закарпаття), в селі швидкими темпами розвивається екотуризм. Звідси зручно підніматися на довколишні гори, зокрема на східну частину хребта Зелем'янки (з північного кінця села), гору Кіндрат (1158 м, вершина широка, безліса) або гори Солиган (941 м), Яровище (909 м), Маківку (958 м) чи Клива (1072 м.).

Назва
Перша версія походження назви села Тухля — від смороду трупів, що розповсюджувався з вузької ущелини, де було знищене монгольське військо.

Друга версія походження назви Тухля. Одного разу проходивив через цю місцевість чоловік, і, втомшись, вирішив відпочити. Він вирішив не йти далі, бо йому тут дуже сподобалось. З часом прийшли інші люди, й виникло поселення. Після цього прийшли чиновники від правителя та натрапили на хату першого поселенця, бо вона стояла якраз біля дороги. Зайшли до нього й питають: «Як село називається?». Чоловік відповідає, що не знає і розказує, що він йшов повз нього, охляв та лишився жити тут. Чиновники, можливо, недочули, але записали Тухля (від слова «охлянути» — втомитися).

Історія
У другій половині 1880-х рр. через село було прокладено залізницю Стрий—Мукачево.

Тухля тісно пов'язана з життям і творчістю Івана Франка. Село стало відоме тим, що його описав Іван Франко у своїй повісті «Захар Беркут». У Тухлі є криниця Івана Франка, пам'ятник письменнику, а також церква, розписана Корнилом Устияновичем. Гірська місцевість навколо села є місцем історичних подій, які описані у творі Івана Франка «Захар Беркут». На південній околиці села, за річкою Опір, на горі Захар Беркут (964 м) височить статуя Захара Беркута — саме там, де за народними переказами, і поховано цю історичну постать. У селі є камінь, начебто саме той, яким перекривали гірський потік, що згубив татар. На ньому викарбувано пам'ятний напис. Варто відвідати ущелину, про яку писав Франко — «місце було надзвичайне, дике».

Село Тухля славне тим, що свого часу під час нашестя монголо-татар тут, в долині, були зупинені полчища татар. Тухольці — волелюбні герої твору великого Каменяра — збагнули святу істину: в єдності сила народу, тому вони і перемагають. Іван Франко у повісті «Захар Беркут» опирається на історичні факти, називає імена ватажків монголо-татар, та ще одним джерелом написання повісті став багатий карпатський фольклор. Зокрема, факт потоплення в Карпатах монголів в історії не відомий. Але народ опоетизовував «славні діла славних прадідів». Іван Франко використовує народний переказ про Сторожа — величезного кам'яного стовпа, що звисав над тухольською долиною. Цар велетнів, цей «святий» камінь, що знаходився на схилі хребта Зелемінь, є своєрідним уособленням життя — ворогом богині смерті Морани. Тухольці цим каменем завалили вхід у долину і тим самим перекрили течію Опору. Води річки в місці впадіння Головчанки постійно прибували, а діватися не мали куди. Орда схаменулася і почала втікати у сторону теперішнього села Либохора, та було пізно. Стихія зробила своє. Населення не дало собі ради із захороненням ворога, ще багато днів у повітрі витав запах мертвого тіла. Від того й пішла назва села Тухля. Ще й тепер можна оглянути котловину з «Кам'яною бабою», урочище Облаз, де за народними переказами, була перегороджена ріка Опір, що затопила монголів. На основі повісті знято фільм «Захар Беркут».

У Тухлі бував ватажок опришків Олекса Довбуш.Очевидно, через Тухлю шлях його лежав з Гуцульщини на Турку, Борислав, Дрогобич.

Освіта
В тухлі споруджено Тухлянський опорний навчальний заклад загальної середньої освіти І-ІІІ рівнів (гімназія).

Населення
Згідно з переписом УРСР 1989 року чисельність наявного населення села становила 1812 осіб, з яких 907 чоловіків та 905 жінок.

За переписом населення України 2001 року в селі мешкали 1752 особи.

The photo of Biden's family gives reviewers a first impression that this is a happy and decent family with adult children and grandchildren full of smiles, happiness and harmony.
As Bible says that "what you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs". Whatever Hunter Biden did and said have been recorded in his laptop and now exposed on the internet through social media platforms such as GTV, Gnews, Parler and Gab.com.
The Biden Family is now associated with drug-taking, adultery, incest, nepotism, treason, absolute corruption and child abusing. The pornographic tapes, text messages and emails stored in the laptop have provided solid evidence of all crimes Hunter Biden has committed.
Hunter had sex not only with Chinese celebrities, but also with his own family members, and the daughter of former President Obama and other underaged girls. If the American justice system confirms that Hunter truly had sex with his own family member(s) and Obama's daughter, how can Americans reconcile this to the facts that this is associated with their elected President and Vice President who have led the country for eight years?
How can the world face the ugly truth of sex between a father and his daughter? Where is the bottom line of human sexual morality? Where is the boundary between good and evil? Can light and darkness coexist?
The former President Obama cannot be the Big Guy. If he had a little conscience of his fatherhood, he wouldn't allow his young daughter being sexually abused by an adult man. There is only one reasonable explanation: he was controlled, or his daughter was just served as a leverage to help him to get power…
Coincidentally, in another magical country tens of thousands of kilometers away, the same story happens there as well. There is a Chinese Family which is also very glamorous from a perceived perspective. To the public, the family is leading by a righteous man with a strong sense of integrity and has no children with his wife (1). His achievements include leading a special-task team to fight against corruptions, helping President Xi to reform the CCP, saving Chinese economy from the finance crisis, leading the frontline healthcare works during SARS epidemic in 2003. His name is Wang Qishan who has earned the good reputation over the whole world, and he is the vice-chairman of PRC, similar position to Joe Biden the vice-President of USA.
However, his glamour faded quickly after Mr. Miles Guo, the leader of the Whistleblowers Movement, started his whistleblowing journal in 2017. Miles has exposed the death of Mr. Wang Jian, the Chairman of HNA Group, and how it connected the crimes and corruption of Mr. Wang Qishan and his family/ associates. Whistleblowers Movement supporters began to see the real picture behind the hypocrisy. What he and his gang have done prove the world that devil is real and living in the world, but not the literatures.
The CCP is devil's agent on the world. It continuously and constantly tempts common people to wrongdoings and use the weakness of human nature to summon all the evil souls of the world to congregate. Then CCP will soon turn these troubled souls into its puppets.
Joe Biden might secretly admire Mr. Wang Qishan's shameless comment on the adultery conducted by his party members. According to Mr. Wang, it is not corruption for Chinese government officials to rape women or receive huge money illegally; making political mistakes by supporting the wrong leaders is the real corruption.
As Bible says "you who are full of every kind of craftiness and unscrupulous cunning–you son of the Devil and foe to all that is right". All God's people need to fight back and eradicate them. God has called President Trump, Mr. Guiliani and Mr. Bannon to throw the devil to the bottomless pit and save America! God has also called Mr. Miles Guo, Lude, Dr Yan and thousands of righteous men and women to join the Whistle-blowers Movement to save all enslaved Chinese people.
The ultimate battle must be won
The evil will be taken down.
The devil's days are numbered.

Riders saving lives in Lesotho
The Lesotho branch of Riders for Health operates in some of the most rugged terrain in Africa. (Image: Riders for Health) MEDIA CONTACTS • Matthew HannCommunications, Riders for Health+44 1604 889 570RELATED ARTICLES • Garden of Hope for HIV/Aids• Bold new HIV/Aids plan for SA • Lennox sings for HIV/Aids • Ridding Africa of HIV in ten yearsJanine ErasmusRiders for Health, the motorbike-based charity arm of the MotoGP racing championship, is inviting its supporters to take part in an inspirational ride through Lesotho, where they will help raise funds for the organisation and experience its work first-hand.Experience Africa is touted as "an adventure for the heart and mind". It was launched at the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show in November 2009 by Riders co-founder and multiple MotoGP champion Randy Mamola, and takes to the road in October 2010.The eight-day trip can accommodate a limited number of riders. Details are expected imminently, and interested off-road biking fanatics are encouraged to email experienceafrica@riders.org to make sure they don't miss out on any announcements.Mamola has already ridden the route, which encompasses some of the famous Roof of Africa rally's roads, and confessed to being overwhelmed by the experience."I have had the most incredible 10 days riding in the wonderful country of Lesotho," he said at the launch. "The Riders for Health Experience Africa ride is sure to be a life-changing experience."The NGO's country director Mahali Hlasa, the Riders' first female trainer, will chaperone the adventuresome group.Experience Africa participants, who pay £5 000 (R58 819) upfront, are assured that £2 000 (R23 525) of that sum will go directly to the Riders initiative. Flights, accommodation, motorbikes, meals, and mechanical and medical support are covered by the remainder. A valid motorbike licence is a prerequisite.They will ride through the mountainous country to raise funds and awareness of the organisation's ongoing work, and will also be able to get a personal glimpse into the outreach projects already underway.They can expect to interact with health workers in the country, riding with them to isolated areas and experiencing how reliable transport has transformed their jobs. They will also visit clinics and communities and see how the treatment of HIV/Aids and tuberculosis is accelerating because of increased accessibility to medicines and education.Riding to save livesRiders for Health is the official charity of the Grand Prix motorbike championship, or MotoGP. The organisation operates in Gambia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and Lesotho, with projects completed in Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Its patron is HRH The Princess Royal.Lesotho is in particularly dire need of the Riders' assistance. The tiny kingdom lies among the soaring peaks of the Drakensberg and Maluti mountains, and this harsh terrain is often difficult to navigate with conventional vehicles. Even those with four-wheel drives can struggle.Lesotho is the only country on earth whose entire altitude lies over 1 000m above sea level. Its lowest point is at the junction of the Orange and Makhaleng Rivers at 1 400m, and its highest is the Thabana Ntlenyana peak at 3 482m. More than 80% of the country lies higher than 1 800m.The kingdom has been hard hit by the global HIV/Aids epidemic. About 25% of the adult population is thought to be HIV-positive, according to international Aids charity Avert.This is where the Riders' work is so crucial. People living in more remote areas have to make their own way to reach basic facilities such as shops and clinics – sometimes trudging for hours and in freezing temperatures.Using motorbikes to navigate tricky terrain, Riders for Health brings care to communities that otherwise might have no help at all. Working hand in hand with the Ministry of Health and related bodies, the organisation enables health workers to easily reach their patients, and also transports medical samples to laboratories for testing and diagnosis.Mobilising the biker communityThe organisation was born out of the concern and interest of a group of people working on the MotoGP circuit in the 1980s. Some of them, including Mamola, visited Lesotho in the late 1980s and were dismayed to see the many broken-down cars that could not be fixed because of lack of expertise.The group decided to take action by developing innovative ways of managing vehicles in difficult conditions, and at the same time began mobilising support for a new transport initiative that would minimise the toll taken by rough terrain on less hardy vehicles.The international motorbike community responded enthusiastically and continues to give prominence to the scheme at events such as the British Grand Prix and the annual Riders/MotoGP Day of Champions.The first national programme was run in Lesotho in 1991, followed three years later by another in Zimbabwe. The organisation is based in the UK but has branches in a number of European countries as well. read more

From Village to Nehru stadium in 7 min flat
The completion of the elevated road over Barapullah drain was delayed by several months but now that the corridor is ready, the wait seems well worth it.Commuters will be able to cover the distance between the Commonwealth Games Village and Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in south Delhi in seven minutes flat, thanks to the new road. The journey earlier used to take at least 40 minutes.After missing several deadlines, the elevated road over Barapullah was formally opened for Games traffic on Friday.The four- km stretch is the first such elevated road in the Capital.As of now, it would be exclusively used to ferry Games participants from the athletes' Village near Akshardham temple to the main venue and back. The road will be opened to general traffic after the Games.State public works department minister Raj Kumar Chouhan flagged off 240 low-floor air-conditioned buses from the Sarai Kale Khan side to the stadium. " I am proud to dedicate the elevated road to the people of the city. After the Games, it will provide a key link between east and south Delhi," he said.The road was built by the Gurgaon- based DSC Constructions Pvt Ltd at a cost of `498 crore.The dual carriageway having three lanes each from Sarai Kale Khan to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium will ensure a smooth flow of traffic between east Delhi and other parts of the Capital.The corridor would greatly benefit Ring Road commuters coming from east Delhi, NH-24 and DND flyway. They would be able to come straight to the CGO complex and the INA Market through a smooth, traffic- signal free movement, a PWD official said.advertisement

Naval war room leak: Graft case: Abhishek Verma, wife granted bail, arrested afresh
Soon after a Delhi court Wednesday granted bail to businessman Abhishek Verma and his Romanian wife in a graft case, the CBI arrested them afresh over a forgery complaint filed by Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Ajay Maken.Following their fresh arrest, the court sent them to judicial custody for a day."The arrest has been effected by Inspector Vipin Kumar in the court itself and identity of the investigating officer is not in dispute at all. I do not find any substance in the opposition of the defence counsel in any manner. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, both the accused are remanded in judicial custody till tomorrow," the court said.Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Sanjeev Jain earlier granted bail to Verma and his wife Anca Maria Neacsu in a corruption case as the CBI failed to file the charge sheet against them within the stipulated 60 days from arrest.The court granted bail to them on a personal bond of Rs.10 lakh each and two sureties each of the same amount.Verma, also an accused in the 2006 naval war room leak case, and his wife were arrested June 8 for allegedly receiving money from a Swiss arms company to stall the blacklisting proceedings against it by the Indian government.The Enforcement Directorate (ED) also filed an application seeking permission to arrest the couple in a money laundering case registered against them. The court allowed the ED to interrogate the two in Tihar Jail.advertisement read more

F1: Strong finishes keep Akhil Khushlani gunning for bigger goals
One year is a long time in any sport and staying away from the track for the same period doesn't bode well for anyone who hopes to make it big in the world of motor racing.But confidence can make anything possible and it is exactly the reason why Akhil Khushlani ended up on the podium in the 10th round of the JK Racing Asia Series at Silverstone last weekend.After a long lay-off, Khushlani arrived at the British track with little practice but after not-so-impressive performances in practice and qualifying, the US Formula Project driver stunned everyone with a second-place finish."I was completely off track for close to one year. But when I arrived in Silverstone, I was pretty confident as I had done testing on simulators at home," Khushlani told Mail Today."The only thing I was nervous about was the track as this was the first time I was racing at the Silverstone circuit. I planned my whole race differently and wanted to put my car amongst the top 3 in practice and qualifying, which didn't happen. But I did well to finish second in the race," the 22-year-old added.The next round of events for the JK Racing Asia series are at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida in October.For Khushlani, taking up motorsports wasn't a difficult choice as his father was a bike racer.Khushlani was introduced to karting at the age of nine and the results started coming soon. In 2005, he became the first Asian to finish in the top five at the World Karting Championships.After seven years of karting, Khushlani graduated to the Formula BMW series and drove with distinction for Team Euorasia before he began racing in the JK Racing Asia series.Khushlani, an Ayrton Seena fan, hopes to take further strides in his motor racing career but understands that a lot depends on the sponsorship he can garner for himself."JK Tyre has been supporting me for quite some time. I plan to move ahead in my motor racing career and for now, I am taking everything step by step."Getting ahead from here – it all depends on the budget. I'll wait for this season to get over and may be after November, take a call on my career."advertisement read more

A vote for Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein is a vote for more unemployment, a reduction in economic activity and a further pay cut for public service.
Their economic proposals that will tax enterprise are unworkable and inappropriate in the context of Ireland's participation with the International Monetary Fund.
We have no choice but to seek help from our neighbours in Europe and not remain isolated as advocated by the Sinn Fein leader.
A vote for Mr Adams in particular is a mandate to remind all of us about the economic terrorism that he and his organisation perpetrated on the people of Louth during the unacceptable violent periods of the 1970s and 1980s.
We need only ask the families of the late Tom Oliver and Jean McConville about the destruction of their lives and that of their families during that period for which many questions remain unanswered.
The people of Louth want to move on from the bad old days of the past for which Mr Adams was a willing participant.
This is not a time to send the wrong political signals.
We should not experiment with more economic terrorism, Sinn Fein-style.
Instead we should promote enterprise in every possible way to help the unemployed to get jobs once again and to help hardworking families make ends meet.

Long Island Crane Accident Lawyer
Long Island Personal Injury Attorneys / Areas We Serve / Long Island, NY / Long Island Construction Accident Lawyer / Long Island Crane Accident Lawyer
When you drive past a construction site in Long Island or elsewhere in New York State, you'll often spot cranes at work. The machines' ability to lift heavy loads above ground makes them essential during construction work. Although they make construction work easier, cranes are arguably the most dangerous construction machinery.
The machines are large and heavy, so operating them requires extra caution. A slight error or miscalculation can result in catastrophic accidents. Crane operators and other construction workers who suffer injuries caused by crane accidents may be liable for compensation for their damages and losses.
Injuries sustained in crane accidents are often severe and sometimes life-threatening. When faced with the prospect of financial ruin or permanent disability, you need to get compensated for your losses and injuries.
Contact a Long Island Crane Accident Lawyer, call (631) 451-7900.

Who Is Liable for Crane Accidents?
Recovering Compensation After a Crane Accident
Crane accidents often cause catastrophic injuries and losses. As a victim, you'll probably deal with painful injuries, soaring medical bills, and extended periods out of work. With so much on your plate, the last thing you don't want is the added stress of a lawsuit or a workers' compensation claim.

The last thing you want to do is worry about your lawsuit while still fighting to get back on your feet. At Rosenberg & Gluck LLP, we're committed to taking the stress out of your life during this challenging period. Do not face insurers on your own when you can count on our team to defend your rights.
OSHA has outlined rigorous regulations relating to the use and operation of construction machinery such as cranes. The safety standards are meant to minimize the possibility of accidents at construction sites and other places where cranes get deployed.
Nonetheless, crane accidents do happen, and here are some of the contributory factors:
Cranes collapsing due to overloading.
Poor maintenance of crane equipment.
Incorrect crane setup.
Inexperienced crane operators.
Crane host failure.
Crane boom collapse.
Miscommunication between the crane operators and ground workers.
Negligent supervision.
Crane accidents are preventable since they primarily happen because someone became negligent. The only way to prevent these accidents is by training crane operators on safety, installing the equipment properly, and operating cranes with the utmost care. If that doesn't happen, crane accidents are inevitable.
Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that New York State has witnessed a significant increase in crane accidents over the past decade. Moreover, a recent Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) report indicated that an average of 44 crane-related fatalities get reported annually.
Crane accidents often cause severe and catastrophic injuries and death in some cases.
The dangers of operating cranes include:
Getting struck by a part of contraction cranes of objects from uncontrolled hoisted loads.
Electrocution caused by contact between construction cranes and electrical sources such as overhead power lines. Over 40 percent of crane accidents occur this way.
Falling off the crane or of other elevated parts of the crane structure.
Getting caught in the moving parts of a crane.
Determining liability after a crane accident can be tricky. As a victim, you may not know who to hold liable for the injuries and losses you suffered, but the skilled attorneys at the law offices of Rosenberg and Gluck LLP can help. While handling your claim, we will thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and trace it back to the responsible parties. That could include:
New York Labor Law Section 200 obligates general contractors to keep construction equipment such as cranes safe and ensure that everyone at the site has the necessary protections. You may hold the general contractor in charge of the construction site where you got injured liable if they absconded this duty.
The Property Owner
Property owners are mandated to provide safe conditions to everyone on their site. Their general duty of care entails ensuring the safe operation of cranes on their sites.
The Crane Manufacturer
The company that built the crane can be held liable for mechanical or structural defects that caused the accident. Under New York's product liability laws, you can also hold manufacturers of defective crane components responsible if those parts contributed to the accident.
Crane Owners
Sometimes, third parties own the cranes used on a site. If that's the case and an accident occurs, the crane owners can be held liable for defects that led to the accident or for failing to maintain or inspect the crane as required.
If another company gets hired to provide or operate the crane and an accident occurs due to their negligence, those who suffer losses and injuries can hold the subcontractor liable.
In most sites where cranes get deployed, site engineers are responsible for directing the placement and operation of the equipment. They can be held liable for their negligence if they fail to discharge their duties as required or ask you to perform an unreasonably dangerous task that causes an accident.
As with most personal injury claims, a thorough investigation is critical to pinpoint the parties responsible for the crane accident that led to your injuries and losses. The parties involved will conduct their investigation to establish what happened. Nonetheless, you also need an attorney to look out for your interests and establish what transpired before and during the crane accident.
Damages and Injuries Caused by Crane Accidents
Cranes are heavy equipment. Moreover, they work when hoisted above ground. When they malfunction or collapse, the resultant damages and injuries are often catastrophic.
The most common crane accident-related injuries and damages that the attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck LLP handle include:
Crushing injuries caused by falling objects or crane components.
Traumatic injuries, including brain injury.
Spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis.
Fractures.
Internal bleeding and damage to internal organs.
Electrocution and similar forms of electrical injuries.
Amputations.
Wrongful death.
You may be eligible for multiple damages after getting hurt in a crane accident. However, recovering damages after accidents of this nature is always daunting. At Rosenberg & Gluck LLP, we're committed to ensuring you get fully compensated.
We have years of experience handling claims related to crane accidents in Long Island. Our team also leverages leading legal technology and the inside knowledge of respected industry experts such as investigators, accident deconstructionists, quality-of-life analysts, and doctors. In doing so, we build strong claims that ensure the possible trial verdict or settlement offer.
Concerns regarding a financial settlement after a crane accident are common. When you fall victim to a crane collapse or a similar incident, you'll undoubtedly be worried about supporting your family and paying your medical bills. The damages you can recover can either be economic or non-economic.
Economic Damages
These are the tangible losses you incur or expect to incur due to the crane accident and are concrete because they're easy to document and calculate. Most crane accident victims seek to recover medical expenses, and it's no surprise they're the most common type of economic damage awards. Medical expenses include the initial cost of treatment and the follow-up treatment.
Lost wages are also a common economic damage the crane accident victims seek to recover. After the accident, you may spend time out of work or be unable to return to work altogether due to a disability. Recovering lost wages can help alleviate your financial burden when out of work or working for fewer hours.
In other crane accidents, victims may want to recover property damage. For instance, if a crane falls on your vehicle, you may seek to have it repaired or replaced.
Non-Economic Damages
These damages are more subjective and intangible compared to economic damages. Non-economic damages primarily relate to types of harm that don't come with objective documentation or a receipt. They include pain and suffering, permanent or partial disability, loss of companionship, and emotional stress.
Legal Claims You Can Make After a Long Island Crane Accident
There are three main ways to seek compensation after getting injured in a Long Island crane accident; personal injury lawsuits, workers' compensation benefits, or wrongful death claims.
Personal Injury Lawsuits
Under New York's state labor law, you can have a legitimate claim for your injuries and losses against a property owner, engineer, contractor, or crane manufacturer. When the attorneys at the law firm of Rosenberg & Gluck LLP file a personal injury lawsuit, they can work to ensure you get compensated promptly and maximally.
Construction workers in New York State may seek workers' compensation benefits if they get injured on the job. Because you have access to workers' compensation, you generally have no right to sue your employer.
Despite this, you may still have a third-party claim against another at-fault party. For this reason, it's best to let an experienced Long Island crane accident attorney handle your claim. This way, you'll have the best shot at recovering the damages you're entitled to.
Wrongful Death Lawsuit
You can pursue compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit if you lose a loved one in a crane accident. This lawsuit is primarily meant to help you recover your lost financial support and funeral costs.
When to File Your Claim
After suffering losses and injuries in a crane accident, you should assert your right to compensation. The longer you wait to file your claim, the higher the risk of losing out on valuable money. For this reason, you need to know when to file your compensation claim.
If you want to recover damages from a workers' compensation program, you must notify your employer within thirty days of the crane accident. After that, you have one year to submit a request for benefits under workers' compensation.
The statute of limitations is generally three years if you decide to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a municipal component, you could have as little as 90 days to act. You won't be allowed to file a claim outside these timeframes. When the attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck LLP take care of your case, we'll file it within the statute of limitations.
Contact a Long Island Crane Accident Lawyer
You deserve to receive compensation for injuries and damages resulting from a crane accident in Long Island. However, getting compensated isn't always easy, especially when the at-fault parties try to avoid liability. Reach out to a construction accident attorney.
The Rosenberg & Gluck LLP attorneys can fight to protect your rights at this difficult moment. If you or a loved one suffers injuries and losses in a Long Island crane accident, contact Rosenberg & Gluck LLP today at (631) 451-7900 for your free case evaluation.

High Efficiency III-V Solar Cells: past, present and future
Dr Ned J Ekins-Daukes, Imperial College
Light refreshments from 19:00. Open to anyone with an interest in the topic.
III -V solar cells have a long track record, starting with the Russian Venera missions to Venus in the 1960s, and are now used for almost all communication satellites. III -V semiconductors can be fabricated to produce multi-junction devices that span the solar spectrum; the current world record for solar power conversion (December 2011) is 37.9% for a triple junction solar cell under one sun illumination. For fundamental thermodynamic reasons, the efficiency of these solar cells rises under increased concentration, so the highest efficiency concentrator solar cell (illustrated) presently operates at 43.2%. At such efficiencies, large scale, terrestrial solar power generation using concentrator systems in the deserts becomes feasible. The technological developments underpinning these achievements will be discussed, together with an outlook of the present challenges and likely near term progress.

This site is maintained by Bruce Dodson, a senior GIS consultant with ESRI Canada Limited.
Bruce is the orginal author and maintainer of the NTXShape, AVPython, SHPTRANS projects hosted on SourceForge, is the originator and maintainer for the Spinner-Wiki variant of DolphinWikiWeb, and is an active participant in the Scintilla / SciTE project.
I maintain this site in my spare time; it is not funded by my employer, nor is it related directly to my work.
I've been with ESRI Canada since 1995. As a part of their consulting services group, I develop applications, conduct workshops, and coordinate small teams to develop custom solutions (software, data, processes) which help my clients get the most out of their geographic information. For the past several years my focus has been split between two important technology areas: Object-relational database technology (exemplified in ESRI's product line by the Geodatabase); and Internet-enabled mapping and data distribution (e.g. ArcIMS).
In terms of business sectors, I have done a lot of work with electrical utilities in recent years. There has been a surge of interest in support of asset management and outage management systems for electric distribution networks. It just happens that GIS makes a great support infrastructure for these kinds of systems.
Okay, this is the "about me" page, and I've only talked about my work. There are other things that are at least as important. Aside from GIS and software development, my interests include home brewing, sports / games, exercise, reading, movies, and especially music. You know, the usual stuff. It sure beats huddling in fear through the night out on the savannah, or keeping watch for sabretooth cats while scrounging for one precious scrap of food.
Fitness / Games / Sports - I work out mostly on the cardio circuit and also do Yoga. In the summer, I don't work out as often but I do enjoy playing tennis when I have someone to play against, and also sailing when I can get access to a boat. I'm not a strong swimmer but I also like to hang out at the beach. And I like pool; especially nine ball.
Music - I like the "good stuff" from any genre. I'll listen to country, rap, industrial, metal, classical, jazz, blues, alternative rock; name a genre and I can probably come up with an example of something that I like from it. I always have tunes going in the car, but less often at home since I'm in an apartment and can't crank it up like I want to.
Even more than listening to music, I also enjoy making my own. To start with, I'm a fairly decent singer. I usually go for a classic rock / blues / alternative style, but I'm flexible. For example I like country, and even go for some urban music. No Jay-Z for me, but maybe some Kid Rock or Buck 65 vibes. I used to play guitar too, but have mostly given it up. I did take up harmonica though, and am not bad at it as long as I keep it simple. If you're in the Halifax area and looking for a vocalist to jam with, I might have some music samples here.
Right now I have an Irish stout (Munton's Moutmellick), double-malted, on the go. It came out heavier than I expected due to the double malting, and lower in alcohol, but it is just an excellent beer. It has a rich, dark, dense head, that characteristic stout bite, and it finishes nicely. I'm pretty proud of this one.
The best beer I've made is a Cream Ale kit, from Wine-Art, packaged with all dry ingredients. I did add about 2/3 cup of muscovado (a dark, raw cane sugar) to spice it up - only a bit, mind you - but otherwise everything was in the box (including DME, yeast, finings, and priming sugar). I don't know what name this is marketed under in the US, but it's worth looking for. From early samples, it tasted fine but didn't seem to be anything special, but by 3 months it was very good, and at 6 months it was outstanding.
An interesting tool of note is David Johnson's QBrew.

Google and Oracle's 10 Year Legal Battle Reaches the Supreme Court
TGD Buzz
Ten years ago, Oracle sued Google on what it considers a copyright violation of its application-programming interfaces. At that time, Oracle accused Google of illegally using parts of its Java code in creating Google's Android software. The decade-long legal face-off is expected to end on Wednesday before the U.S. Supreme Court where oral arguments will be heard about whether copyright can be applied in existing software interfaces when used to build new computer programs and if Oracle is entitled to a piece of Android.
ARS Technica: The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Oracle v. Google, a landmark case that considers whether application-programming interfaces can be protected by copyright
ARS Technica reports that On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in one of the decade's most significant software copyright decisions: the 2018 ruling by an appeals court that Google infringed Oracle's copyrights when Google created an independent implementation of the Java programming language.
An application-programming interface is the glue that holds complex software systems together. Until 2014, it was widely assumed that no one could use copyright law to restrict APIs' use—a view that promoted software interoperability.
The Verge: For Oracle and Google, the lawsuit is about whether Oracle — which owns Java Standard Edition — is now entitled to a piece of Android, to the tune of billions of dollars
Ten years after Oracle first sued Google over the code in the Android platform, the two tech giants are finally facing off in the Supreme Court, according to The Verge. Since then, there have been three trials and two appeals. All this may be coming to an anticlimactic close on Wednesday morning, with a teleconference Supreme Court oral argument in the middle of a pandemic.
When Google first developed Android, it decided to make the mobile platform compatible with Java.
For Oracle and Google, the lawsuit is about whether Oracle — which owns Java Standard Edition — is now entitled to a piece of Android, to the tune of billions of dollars. For everyone else, the lawsuit is about whether language compatibility is tantamount to copyright infringement.

In June, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a 500-page report highlighting the environmental impacts of atrazine, which is a widely used weed killer and water pollutant with potential negative health and environmental effects.
The EPA is required to review and evaluate the approval of pesticides used in the United States every 15 years. For the first time, the EPA has concluded that atrazine may pose a serious risk to wildlife and plants and has therefore opened the draft report for public comment.
It is important to note that atrazine, which is used on corn and other crops, has dangerous effects even at low levels. It commonly ends up in surface and groundwater, posing a risk for birds, mammals and fish. The chemical has been shown to have adverse effects on developmental, hormonal and reproductive systems. Atrazine run-off and spray drift from crop use may reduce plant biodiversity and could effect honey bees as well.
An estimated 70 million pounds of atrazine is used in the United States annually with more than 90% applied to corn. Atrazine is also a common herbicide for soybeans, sugarcane, oats and wheat, as well as being used to kill weeds in pastures. With at least 200 different weed-killing products on the market, in which atrazine is a component, the products may also be used for landscaping or mixed with other pesticides. The chemical has been banned in Europe due to its possible carcinogenic effects as well as health concerns due to hormonal, reproductive and developmental effects.
The EPA draft report will be open for public comment for 60 days.

France Telecom to become Orange in July
France Telecom said that it will become Orange as of 1 July 2013, adopting the brand already used for its commercial operations.
In a statement, the company said it has "gradually simplified its visual identity in France and internationally" since 2006. The Orange brand is already used for its fixed, mobile, TV and internet businesses, as well as its corporate activities.
It said that changing the name "is a natural step in the process towards the simplification and unity of the Group's activities".
At the end of March 2013, the company had 229.8 million customers, including 171.8 million mobile subscribers. During the quarter, France generated just under half of its revenue ($5.07 billion, from a total of €10.3 billion).
While the company has been progressing toward the Orange brand for some time, the Wall Street Journal said that its considered approach "highlights how carefully the company moves when dealing with its French heritage, its French employees and its 27 per cent owner, the French state".

Big data 'not the answer' to researching mums
Mumstock 2015: Brands such as the Co-op and Kerry Foods have urged marketers to look beyond the huge amount of data available to them and create an emotional connection when targeting mums.
By Jonathan Bacon	 18 Mar 2015 5:37 pm
Brands have debated marketing techniques aimed at mothers at Mumstock 2015
At a panel discussion at the Mumstock event in London today (18 March), the brands debated the benefits of using small focus groups and face-to-face discussions with mothers as an alternative to large data sets and demographic trends. Mumstock, of which Marketing Week is an official partner, is hosted by parenting website Mumsnet.
"I've worked in marketing for a very long time and thought I understood mothers until I actually became one and realised what their experiences are really like," said April Redmond, chief marketing officer of Kerry Foods.
Redmond suggested that a preoccupation with data and the "functional" aspects of mothers' lives can prevent brands from developing an emotional relationship with mums. "We've had a lot of success in recent years by focusing more on the emotional benefits [of our brands]," she added.
The panel acknowledged the growing role of digital channels in mums' lives, with online recommendations from fellow parents helping to sway their decision making and convenience-led services like click-and-collect proving popular.
However Co-op Food customer director Andrew Mann also urged marketers to look for simple changes that could make a big difference to mums' shopping experiences.
He said one of the retailer's most effective recent innovations aimed at mothers was the addition of a strap on its own brand nappy packs in order to make them easier to carry.
"That might seem like a very simple thing but it's changed how people buy nappies in the Co-op," he said.
New research, released to coincide with Mumstock, notes that mums see motherhood as "a relationship rather than a job". The study, commissioned by Mumsnet and conducted by Saatchi & Saatchi, suggests that brands need to inject more fun and personality into their communications with mothers.

Q: Create a merged map with list of maps I'm new to java so seeking help from experts. any help would be much appreciated, and a scope for me to learn new things.
I want to create a List of maps(resultList) from a another list of maps(list) where a single map(keys) contains values which are keys to the list of maps(map1, map2, map3 ... So on). Like below example
Map<String, String> keys = new HashMap<>();
keys.put("Animal","Cow");
keys.put("Bird","Eagle");

Map<String, String> map1 =new HashMap<>();
map1.put("Cow","Legs");
m1.put("Eagle","Wings");

Map<String, String> map2 = new HasMap<>();
map2.put("Cow","Grass");
map2.put("Eagle","Flesh");

List<Map<String, String>> list= new ArrayList<>();
list.add(map1);
list.add(map2); // there could be more

List<Map<String, String>> resultList= new ArrayList<>();
for(Map<String, String> eachMap: listOfMaps){
     Map<String, String> mergedMap = new HasMap<>();
     //help me here
}

Now I want values of first map(keys) as key to each new map(mergedMap) for the values of second map(map1) and third map(map2) and so on.
Required output should be like
{ Cow : Legs, Eagle : Wings }
{ Cow : Grass, Eagle : Flesh }
//more

A: Loop through each map and for each map, loop through the values in the keys map and look it up into the current map and insert the result in the mergedMap. At the end of processing a map, add the mergedMap into the resultList.
for(Map<String, String> eachMap: list){
     Map<String, String> mergedMap = new HashMap<>();
     for (String val: keys.values()) {
        mergedMap.put(val, eachMap.get(val));
     }
     resultList.add(mergedMap);
}

System.out.println(resultList);

This assumes the values in the keys map will always be present in each of the maps. If not you have to check if the key is present before adding to the mergedMap (to avoid adding null values).

A: Another way to do it using streams.
Collection<String> vals = keys.values();
resultList = list.stream()
    .map(eachMap -> vals.stream()
            .filter(eachMap::containsKey)
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), eachMap::get)))
     .collect(Collectors.toList());

System.out.println(resultList);

Note: The filter checks if the value is present in the map before creating the map.

Homepage Paleontology The Problem Was Getting Into The Air… Jumbo Jet of Paleo Skies
The Problem Was Getting Into The Air… Jumbo Jet of Paleo Skies
Studying the fossil bones discovered in North Carolina, paleontologists found they belonged to the World's largest-ever flying bird which lived 25-28 million years ago. The wingspan of the bird, which researchers calculated from the dimensions of the excavated bone parts, extended 7 – 8 m. This puts the prehistoric winged giant at twice the size of royal albatross, the largest species of today's birds.
Fit sizewise for the title "jumbo jet" used for decades for the wide-bodied airliners, the bird was discovered, also befittingly, during the excavations for a new terminal building at Charleston airport, North Carolina, where modern-day behemoths land and take off in numbers every day. To clinch the Charleston connection, the bird was named Pelagornis sandersi, after the retired curator Albert Sanders of the city museum.
Because, however, it lacked the powerful engines of its technological imitation, its impressive dimensions must have turned into a liability for P. Sandersi when it came to taking off. Although its paper-thin hollow bones gave it a lightweight skeleton, it would have been practically impossible for it to take to the air from a standstill simply by flapping its wings. Its short legs, meanwhile, would not allow it run fast enough to get off the ground like an airplane accelerating on the runway. Its dimensions was in far excess of the maximum size some mathematical models set for the birds for flight, anyway.
After remaining in the air for over 30 years, it was Dan Ksepka of the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in Durham who found a way out of the impasse. The researcher fed the available data on P. sandersi to a computer program which rates the birds' flight performance subject to such variables as mass, wingspan and shape of the wings.
The results, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that P. Sandersi had to run downhill into the wind or wait for a strong gust to get in the air. But once there, it could fly for miles without even flapping its huge wings and glide on air currents rising from the ocean.
Gigantic wings which require such air currents from vast flat surfaces without exerting too much energy for lift and the beak with tooth-like pointed spikes on upper and lower side leave no doubt that P. Sandersi lived off the ocean. Researchers think the bird would occasionaly swoop down to the ocean surface to grab soft bodied prey such as squid or eels.
