Rhodium(III) perchlorate refers to the inorganic compound with the formula Rh(H2O)6(ClO4)3. It is a hygroscopic yellow solid.  It is the perchlorate salt of the tricationic aquo complex [Rh(H2O)6]3+. The compound is prepared by treating hydrated rhodium(III) chloride and perchloric acid at elevated temperatures:
[Rh(H2O)6]Cl3  +  3 HClO4  →  [Rh(H2O)6](ClO4)3  +  3 HCl

The reaction of rhodium(III) hydroxide with concentrated perchloric acid also produce rhodium(III) perchlorate.
 Rh(OH)3 + 3 HClO4 → Rh(ClO4)3 + 3 H2O

Following President Donald Trump's scrapping of the Iran nuclear deal Tuesday and his imposition of what he called "powerful" sanctions, Boeing's prospective $9.5 billion jet sale to Iran is effectively dead for the foreseeable future.
The potential sales into Iran had consisted of an order from Iran Air for 50 single-aisle 737 MAX 8s, 15 large current model 777-300ER widebody jets and 15 next generation 777-9X widebodies, plus an order from Iran Aseman Airlines for an additional 30 MAXs.
At list prices, those are valued at just shy of $20 billion. However, according to market pricing data from aircraft valuation consultancy Avitas, the true value after standard industry discounts is about $9.5 billion.
While the 777 and 777X orders in particular would have been very welcome to help sustain the 777 production rate in Everett and to bolster prospects for the new 777X, Boeing chairman and chief executive Dennis Muilenburg said last month that production plans would be unfazed if the Iran deal were killed.
In contrast, rival European jetmaker Airbus, which won orders for 98 aircraft worth about $8.4 billion from Iran, formally added those sales to its order book and rushed to deliver the first airplanes as soon as it was legal.

U.S. sanctions will probably also bar further deliveries of Airbus planes to Iran because all its jets contain a significant amount of U.S. parts, so they are covered by the sanctions.
Trump said that any nation breaking the U.S. "nuclear sanctions" would be punished.
Aboulafia said Iran will likely be forced to fall back again on efforts to acquire newish aircraft through expensive third-party transfers from holding companies in semi-neutral countries.
Some of the larger airlines that have ordered the new model 777X are seeking deferrals of the initial deliveries and he said it now looks like it will take a long time for the 777X to get close to the 777 production rate from a couple of years back of 100 airplanes per year.
The slow introduction of the 777X will also extend the slots that need to be filled with the current model 777 and so, despite Muilenburg's assurances, Teal Group now projects 777 production going even lower, from 3.5 deliveries per month now down to 3 per month.
Even it the Iran sales had happened, he said, it wouldn't have significantly changed that outlook.

Decay was the last resource to be introduced into the game and was released on August 26, 2013 as part of the 0.105 beta update.
Actually, Decay is older than that since it was already previewed in early versions of Scrolls. However, it wasn't present in the first alpha version of the game. Mojang had decided to focus on the three other resources first, and release Decay later.
Additionally, a few non-Decay scrolls were temporary removed from the game as of 0.72 alpha version, and were later reintroduced in the Decay faction.

"When the clerk's office first took over the county records center, we planned to barcode our old records and either build a new records center or renovate the existing one. This would have cost between $2.3 million and $6 million. Our analysis showed that with an investment of $400,000 to $500,000 for scanning, software upgrades and IT infrastructure updates, using Laserfiche could save us as much as $5.5 million dollars!" said Maureen Reynolds, Deputy County Clerk at Tompkins County.

Tense, peaceful standoff with troopers in Atlanta ends early Saturday
ATLANTA - A group of protestors engaged in a standoff with Georgia state troopers for hours Friday night. The protest ended peacefully early Saturday morning as crowds slowly dispersed in the overnight hours.
The drawn-out standoff began after an earlier protest in and around Centennial Olympic Park ended, and a group marched to Williams Street near the Downtown Connector. State troopers gathered in force to form a line to keep the protestors from marching onto the highway.
The standoff began soon after the March for Justice ended at Centennial Olympic Park around 8 p.m. Friday and at times became tense as a wall of Georgia State Troopers stood their ground by not allowing protesters onto the Downtown Connector.
SKYFOX 5 flew over the scene. A thin blue line of troopers held back the sea of protesters from entering the busy interstate.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed went to the scene of the protest to talk with demonstrators. Mayor Reed said he wanted to show respect to respectful, peaceful protesters, but he demanded that they not take the freeway, saying that "Dr. King would not take the freeway."
"We're going to get through this together in the spirit of Dr. King," Reed said.
Day turned into night and the group began to disperse into a more disorganized fashion, but there have been no reports of damage, injuries or arrests.
Traffic around parts of the downtown area was blocked at times Friday night because of the protesters.

Nanotechnology for Delivery of Drugs to the Brain for Epilepsy
Margaret F. Bennewitz, W. Mark Saltzman
Epilepsy results from aberrant electrical activity that can affect either a focal area or the entire brain. In treating epilepsy with drugs, the aim is to decrease seizure frequency and severity while minimizing toxicity to the brain and other tissues. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are usually administered by oral and intravenous routes, but these drug treatments are not always effective. Drug access to the brain is severely limited by a number of biological factors, particularly the blood–brain barrier, which impedes the ability of AEDs to enter and remain in the brain. To improve the efficacy of AEDs, new drug delivery strategies are being developed; these methods fall into the three main categories: drug modification, blood–brain barrier modification, and direct drug delivery. Recently, all three methods have been improved through the use of drug-loaded nanoparticles.

Nowy system dozowania leku oparty na nanotechnologii
US researchers have developed a new type of membrane that can be made reversibly porous at the flick of a switch. A drug contained within a membrane-based implant could be released 'on demand' the scientists suggest, making it a potentially useful and novel way for the controlled delivery of drugs such as anaesthetics. Once the dose has been delivered, the membrane can be re-sealed until the next dose is required.
A team led by Daniel Kohane of Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, harnessed the thermosensitive properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to form the basis of the new system. This material can form a hydrogel which is swollen in its native state but which collapses upon heating.
The researchers embedded nanoscale particles of PNIPAM-based gels in an ethyl cellulose membrane so that clumps of the particles spanned the width of the membrane. They also entrapped magnetite nanoparticles within the membrane matrix.
If the membrane is exposed to an oscillating magnetic field, the magnetite nanoparticles heat up, in turn warming the PNIPAM by a few degrees - sufficient to cause the particles to collapse but not so high as to affect surrounding tissue. This leaves voids in the membrane, opening up channels from one side to the other.
'When you take away the magnetic flux, the particles cool down, the PNIPAM re-expands and seals the cavities,' says Kohane.
In this way the membrane's porosity can be remotely switched on and off. To demonstrate the potential effectiveness of the system in drug release, the research team encapsulated the dye sodium fluorescein in the membrane and implanted it in rats. They showed that the membrane remained intact and 'switchable' over multiple cycles, that the amount of dye released was in proportion to the length of time that the magnetic field was applied, and that the membrane was non-toxic and biocompatible. By modulating the magnetic field it should be possible to fine-tune the rate of drug release, in addition to the frequency and duration of treatment.
Catherine Berry, who researches interactions between cells and nanoparticles at the University of Glasgow in the UK, says 'This is an interesting study and I think they have tested their system very nicely in terms of the mechanics and toxicology of the membranes as well as showing that it can undergo multiple cycles.'
Kohane is already looking ahead to the possible treatment options the new system could offer patients: 'We think that our system could be good for something like chronic pain, where a dose of painkiller could be given by the patients themselves, or for localised anaesthesia or chemotherapy,' he says.
Nanocomposite membranes based on thermosensitive, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based nanogels and magnetite nanoparticles have been designed to achieve "on-demand" drug delivery upon the application of an oscillating magnetic field. On−off release of sodium fluorescein over multiple magnetic cycles has been successfully demonstrated using prototype membrane-based devices. The total drug dose delivered was directly proportional to the duration of the "on" pulse. The membranes were noncytotoxic, were biocompatible, and retained their switchable flux properties after 45 days of subcutaneous implantation.

In this article, we will look at the match preview for the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI (PKW vs AUW 1st ODI), which will take place on October 18, and will commence at 7:30 AM (IST), at the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur. Our preview will include every key information about the 1st ODI, namely; Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live cricket score (PKW vs AUW live score cricket), PKW vs AUW scorecard and the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live streaming (PKW vs AUW live streaming). We will also look at the PKW vs AUW squads and sketch out the probable playing 11 lineups.
You can follow the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live cricket score (PKW vs AUW live score cricket) and the PKW vs AUW scorecard for the 1st ODI on Cricbuzz. The match-up between Australia Women and Pakistan Women for the 1st ODI can be called a mismatch, as in comparison to Australia Women's No. 1 official ICC team rankings, Pakistan Women are ranked at No. 7, way below the Kangaroos, with nearly half rating of what the Aussies have.
Hence, when these two teams face each other on October 18, it is certain that having access to the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live cricket score (PKW vs AUW live score cricket) and the PKW vs AUW scorecard will be important for the cricket fans.
The Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live cricket score (PKW vs AUW live score cricket) and the PKW vs AUW scorecard will enable you to be aware of which team won the toss in the 1st ODI, scorelines, run-rates, economy rates and more – all through live commentary and ball-by-ball updates.
While following the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women live score for the 1st ODI will help you get the details of the match, it will be worth so much more to follow the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women Live Streaming (PKW vs AUW live streaming) and the PKW vs AUW tv channel. It will be through these options only, that one would be able to watch their favorite cricketers in action.
However, as it has not been confirmed whether the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women Live Streaming (PKW vs AUW live streaming) and the PKW vs AUW TV channel will be available for public viewership. Therefore, in the absence of streaming options, the best option for cricket fans to follow the Pakistan Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI will be to get hooked to the live score and scorecard options.
No matter how much firepower and talent is packed in the squads of both sides, it will be dependent on the PKW vs AUW Playing 11 lineups to deliver the result that is so required by their respective teams. Let's have a look.

Trump's Sale of Fighter Jets Designed in 1970s Is Spooking China
The U.S. may finally sell Taiwan the warplanes it has sought for more than a decade to defend against China. Their arrival would deal more of a political shock than a military blow to Beijing.
Trump administration officials have given tacit approval to Taipei's request to buy more than 60 Lockheed Martin Corp. F-16s, according to people familiar with the matter, setting the stage for the first such deal since 1992. While a few dozen fighter jets would hardly tip the military balance against the increasing powerful Chinese military, it would signal a new American willingness to back the democratically run island.
"For Beijing, it would be a huge shock," said Wu Shang-su, a research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. "But it would be more of a political shock than a military shock. It would be, 'Oh, the U.S. doesn't care how we feel.' It would be more of a symbolic or emotional issue."
The potential sale is among several gestures of U.S. support for Taiwan in recent months, even as President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping near a deal to end the costly trade war. The U.S. also sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait and accommodated President Tsai Ing-wen's stopover in Hawaii last week, drawing protests from China, which denounced the moves as "extremely dangerous."
Renewed U.S. interest in Taiwan follows growing calls in Washington for a "whole-of-government" effort to prevent China from surpassing American military and industrial dominance. Perhaps nowhere has the power shift been felt more than on Taiwan, an island of 23.6 million people that China aims to eventually control despite 70 years of divided rule.
China has directed its industrial strength toward huge investments in military hardware over the past two decades, building a world-class navy and filling its coastline with missiles capable of hitting Taiwanese targets. The country spent 23 times more than Taiwan on defense in 2017, up from double in 1997.
New F-16s won't "change the fundamental balance of capabilities across the strait, nor will it eliminate the threat that China poses to forcibly absorb a democratic Taiwan," said Scott Harold, an associate director of Rand Corp.'s Center for Asia Pacific Policy. "Taiwan will continue to need to invest in missiles, electronic warfare, mines and other advanced conventional and asymmetric capabilities designed to deter, and if necessary defeat, any Chinese effort to use coercion to compel unification."
Rand analysts argued in a 2016 report that China's sophisticated short-range ballistic missiles could "cut every runway at Taiwan's half-dozen main fighter bases and destroy essentially all" parked aircraft in a conflict. Any planes that made it in the air could face Chinese pilots flying jets such as the J-20, a "fifth-generation" stealth fighter considered to be a rival to Lockheed's advanced F-22s and F-35s.
Still, the F-16 sale would represent a shift by the U.S., which is obligated to sell "arms of a defensive character" to Taipei under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. Presidents since Bill Clinton have repeatedly rebuffed Taiwan's requests for new fighter jets and other advanced weapons systems that could provoke Beijing, with Barack Obama agreeing in 2011 to merely upgrade its aging F-16 fleet.
Tsai said during her visit to Hawaii on Wednesday that a fighter jet deal would "greatly enhance our land and air capabilities, strengthen military morale and show to the world the U.S.'s commitment to Taiwan's defense."
The F-16Vs requested by Taiwan are promoted as the world's most advanced fourth-generation jet, including the latest radar and avionics, even though the original F16 model has been in service for more than 40 years. The aircraft would help the island respond day-to-day incidents such as air space incursions that fall short of open war and mop up data during routine patrols.
China, which suspended military exchanges with the U.S. in response to previous sales, protested the F-16 move. The foreign ministry said the country lodged "stern representations" with U.S. while the defense ministry warned against moves that undercut the contention that the mainland and Taiwan are part of "one China."
"Any words or actions that undermine the one-China policy are tantamount to shaking the foundation of China-U.S. relations, are inconsistent with the fundamental interests of China and the United States and are also extremely dangerous," Senior Colonel Wu Qian said at a briefing Thursday in Beijing.
The sale could be calibrated to test China's bottom line without breaching it. Xi, the Chinese president, would have to decide whether to risk his trade pact with Trump or even an open conflict between two of the world's most powerful militaries to prevent the sale of a few dozen jets.
The U.S., meanwhile, refused Taiwan's request for F-35 fighter jets. Not only would the costly aircraft strain Taiwan's defense budget, a deal for America's most advanced military technology would be more likely to provoke China's ire.
"It's better for us to have F-16s as a first priority," Feng Shih-kuan, who served as defense minister under Tsai until February last year and is now at the Taipei-based Institute for National Defense and Security Research. "We won't feel any sadness if we don't get F-35s."

Coolpad Cool 1 with LeEco EUI and Dual Rear Cameras to Launch on August 16
Karthik Iyer
Earlier this week, we reported that the new Cool1 smartphone, which is the first smartphone from the LeEco-Coolpad joint collaboration will be launching this month, however, we didn't have an exact date. Now looking at the teaser image, it can be said that the device will be launching on August 16th. We don't have any other new specs for this device as of now.
It is expected that it will skip the 3.5mm headphone jack and instead will be offering the CDLA earphones to be used with the USB Type-C port. LeEco Le 2 also had the same solution for this. Stay tuned for more info on this.
Earlier: Coolpad and LeEco are launching a new smartphone as their first joint collaboration. While it is not officially launched yet, we have a close look at some of the specs of the smartphone in detail and also its name which is confirmed officially via a teaser. The smartphone appeared on TENAA, showing off the first looks and the some of the specs. The device is called the Cool 1 and is expected to launch in the month of August this year.
In terms of specs, we are looking at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor coupled with a 4GB of RAM. It will also have a 64GB of onboard internal storage. On the front, we have a 5.5-inch quadHD display. Other hardware specs include a dual-camera setup and a fingerprint scanner at the back. The device will be powered by a 3500 mAh battery. These are the specs of the smartphone available at this point in time and we will surely be seeing more of this in the near future.
But looking at the specifications of the device, it appears to be of flagship standards and mostly will be competing directly the smartphones like Huawei P9 and the newly launched Xiaomi Redmi Pro. As you can see from the image, we have a look at the front and back of the device, showing off its display on the front and the dual-camera setup at the back. The front of the device resembles the newly launched LeEco Le 2 as well. And at the back, we can take a look at the dual-camera setup one below the other along with the fingerprint scanner. However, we don't know the exact specs of the camera or the details about the sensor types etc. But according to the reports, these dual camera sensors are supplied by the Koren manufacturing giant Samsung.
We can expect more smartphones from both the companies with this collaboration if this one does well for the company. Talking about competition, Xiaomi's newly launched Redmi Pro packs some serious power. It comes with a 5.5-inch OLED display and will also sport a dual camera setup with 13-meagpixels and 5-megapixel sensors. The Redmi Pro will be available starting August 8th.

Sony Ericsson is on a roll. Following their decision to bring Gingerbread to the Xperia X10, they have now officially confirmed that the bootloader on the new range of Xperia smartphones will be unlocked. "Sony Ericsson will allow advanced developers to unlock the boot loader in a secure and legal way," says the press release. All new Xperia phones will see the bootloader unlocked (Arc, PLAY, Neo and Pro). The Xperia X10 will not be unlocked due to "technical and legal reasons".
This will only be available on certain kits (i.e. unbranded models), any phone that is SIM locked won't get access to the bootloader. Even more of a reason to ditch the branded handsets. Other handsets may also be blocked depending on geography. One sure way of knowing if your handset is compatible is to test whether you can connect to the Fastboot tool in the Android SDK.
Sony Ericsson say that unlocking the bootloader is done with the usual caveats i.e. custom unsigned ROMs might not work properly on your phone, the warranty may be voided and that the SE repair network may not be able to properly test your phone if it gets damaged. They also say it should only be attempted by advanced users and they "strongly recommend that standard users NOT unlock the boot loader, as it is not needed. We are proud to deliver great phone experiences through our rigorously tested and official software releases." For the rest of us however, it is great news and maximises the potential of the handset.
This is super news and further indication that Sony Ericsson is doing a great job of listening to its community. Sony Ericsson is targeting the number 1 position in the Android smartphone space – the fact that it is learning from its mistakes and delivering what consumers want, we have no doubt that it will make great inroads to get there.

Dialectics in Action
Posted Jan 07, 2008	by Martin Murie
Agriculture , Ecology Soviet Union (USSR) Commentary
BIOLOGY UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Dialectical Essays on Ecology, Agriculture, and Health
by Richard Lewontin and Richard Levins
Biology under the Influence: Dialectical Essays on Ecology, Agriculture, and Health by Richard Lewontin and Richard Levins is an exciting book. The title suggests that biology is hampered by narrow theoretical constructs that block interchange between various specialties, as well as that old contempt, "hard science" as superior to "soft science." Levin and Lewontin blow these away, giving a bright new space for theorizing and for practice.1
As a biologist I once teamed with two mathematicians to teach a course in Systems Theory. We modeled a predator-prey system and a glucose-epinephrine-insulin system. I wish this book had been published at that time. It would have given us, teachers and students both, a helpful jolt, especially because of its wide and bold ranging across disciplines.
Chapter 18 is a fine example of this, extending the glucose-epinephrine-insulin system to embrace anxiety induced at a workplace where the antagonistic pressures of management, an energetic union steward, and individual workers become integral parts of the system.
The book is not only loaded with specific examples from actual research, especially in physiology, genetics, health, and ecology. There is also a chapter relating adventures in Cuba where Levins was a member of a group of scientists urging a drastic shift in agricultural practice, even before the collapse of the Soviet Union.2 This chapter, "How Cuba Is Going Ecological," is a must read, a detailed account of the struggles, unhampered by profit motives, that brought about the ecological ways of doing agriculture and brought into prominence a situation where scientists can, and often do, work directly with farmers on a basis of equality. It is the most credible writing on Cuban agriculture I have seen. It convinces me all over again that we can, and must, fit our human actions into nature rather than take the sledge hammer approach that results from profit-oriented systems.
On Cuban diversification, the book has this to say about its "mosaic land use that makes better use of topography and microclimates and permits recycling within the farm":
Each patch of the mosaic has its own products but also contributes to the whole . . . woodlands provide a wide range of forest products and ecological services. Pastures support livestock for meat and dairy products, manure for composting, combat erosion, and serve as vector sources for honey and beneficial wasps. Oxen are integrated with tractors in a complex traction strategy, and horses and other animals are helpful in weed control. Diversification is a hedge against natural disasters. . . .
Biological and natural methods of pest control are proving more effective than chemical control, more economical, and protective of people's health and the environment. Here's just one example: sweet potatoes grown using integrated pest management yielded 8.9 metric tons per hectare at a net per hectare value of $904.70 compared to 7.8 tons worth $818.60 per hectare for sweet potatoes grown with conventional methods using pesticides. (p. 362)
A central launching point for this book is that we humans are one species among many and are part and parcel in, and of, earthly processes. Here is a paragraph from the authors' take on revival of wholism:
But the eclectic theoretical foundations of the new holism is also unsatisfactory. There is an emphasis on the whole that subordinates and even obliterates the parts. The notions of balance, harmony, and stability in the organizing principles of wholes make it difficult to cope with the dynamic aspects of natural processes and with conflict. (p. 128)
The authors warn that current theories, no matter how nice they look, will be modified, sometimes bypassed entirely, as we learn more.
The graceful writing, often nuanced, sometimes blunt, but without pomposity or undefined jargon, advances an understanding of, and enthusiasm for, dialectical ways of thinking and of doing science, thereby bringing science and practice into dynamic contact, cooperation, and mutual respect. A theme of Biology under the Influence is that nature, ourselves included, is a process, evolving, changing. Furthermore, we can expect nature to spring surprises along the way. For that theme alone, I think we all need this book.

Dec 5 - Portugal's government is selling off its mail service as part of its bailout agreement. Postal workers are furious but Lisbon hopes it will keep them on track to exit their international bailout next summer. David Pollard reports.
Shares in CTT opened seven percent up on their offer price. A strong signal of a strong debut - despite misgivings by postal workers and the public. Following successful IPOs in the UK and Belgium, a seventy per cent stake was up for grabs, pocketing the government around 580 million euros. It's promoting the privatisation as a milestone on Portugal's road to recovery, even if postal workers fear some colleagues could fall by the wayside. (SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) MAILMAN, NUNO ANDRADE, SAYING: "A private company doesn't want workers who can't do what others can do. Many people, older, slower, more restricted than someone young like me. A private company doesn't want that." Portugal has to sell off state assets as part of its bailout programme, which it wants to exit by next summer. It hopes a successful bond issue this week may also convince investors that Portugal is getting its act together. There are still doubts. Troika officials from the IMF, the ECB and the EU are currently reviewing progress. They're expected to examine very closely whether Portugal can deliver drastic reductions in state budgets.... .. a tough ask made tougher by the possibility of legal challenges to cuts in civil service wages and pensions. Ishaq Siddiqi of ETX Capital. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) ISHAQ SIDDIQI. MARKET STRATEGIST, ETX CAPITAL, SAYING: ''This is a country which is suffering from vast amounts of manufacturing and industrial contraction. They don't really produce anything any more. And I think when it comes to Portugal itself it's a country with political instability on board. And I think it's very shaky going into the next two or three years.'' On its own merits, the privatisation programme looks more positive. Portugal has already sold stakes in power firms EDP and REN and airport operator ANA, raising 6.4 billion euros Meaning that it's beaten its 2013 bailout target by nearly a billion.

Battle of Pinjarra Massacre Site Work Progresses
Dec 17, 2015 | Media Releases
PHCC project officer Johanne Garvey, Jan Strijdom, Tom Lerner (Shire of Murray), Jaidon Kearing (Murray Districts Aboriginal Association) and friends cleared tonnes of woody weeds at the Pinjarra massacre site.
17 December 2015…A co-operative busy bee was held this week at the Battle of Pinjarra Massacre Site. The busy bee was co-ordinated by the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council with help from the Shire of Murray and the Murray Districts Aboriginal Association and successfully removed tonnes of woody weeds from the culturally significant site.
The site is on the banks of the Murray River and is one of the most significant historical and cultural sites in the Peel-Harvey, but currently is very poor condition as it is dominated by various invasive weed species. The Peel-Harvey Catchment Council (PHCC) is managing the site's enhancement project under their Rivers 2 Ramsar project which aims to restore and protect native vegetation on identified river corridors.
Andy Gulliver, chairman of the PHCC, said the busy bee marked the commencement of an overarching management plan for the site.
"The work achieved this week has been extremely important. The river banks are clogged with invasive weeds – Blackberry, Honey Suckle, Wild Fig, Fumeria, Bridal Creeper and Kikuyu. Several species including large fig trees were targeted using a cut and paint method and the debris was dragged up the steep bank to be disposed of by the Shire of Murray crew," said Andy Gulliver.
"Follow up work will include ongoing management of the Blackberry, which is a highly invasive species, and once this is under control we will revegetate the site with native species. I commend the efforts of our PHCC Rivers 2 Ramsar project officer Johanne Garvey for her hard work to get this project off the ground and to build such positive relationships to work together on the site," he said.
Karrie-Anne Kearing, spokesperson for the Murray Districts Aboriginal Association, said the eventual revegetation of the site using locally grown natives will further the local Noongar Bindjareb group's vision.
"We envisage an interpretive sanctuary where the community can gather and reflect in a natural environment more like the original landscape of this site," said Karrie-Anne Kearing.
Shire of Murray Chief Executive Officer Dean Unsworth said the Shire was pleased to work collaboratively with the Peel Harvey Catchment Council and Murray Districts Aboriginal Association to preserve the site.
"The removal of heavy woody weeds has made a substantial improvement to the site which is environmentally, culturally and historically significant to Pinjarra and Western Australia," said Dean Unsworth.
This project is supported by the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council through funding from the Australian Government.


"Yes, and tempt treason by doing so. The profession of playwright is the most dangerous one in England. You can cut off your own head by using too sharp a pen! Shakespeare does not wish to end up like Ben Johnson, serving time in prison for being too clever.
"Oh Yorick, I thought I knew you well, Shakespeare told us to take out all the jokes! He knows full well you are the best bit actor in the company. You, and only you could play this scene and make people laugh. Think, Ophelia has just committed suicide. Indeed I have seen our fellow thespian John in costume and there is hardly any stubble at all. Everyone will be so sad such at the death of such a beauty.
How could any in the audience laugh at our digging her grave? Yet Shakespeare knows you, and only you, could make them howl with humor. I think he is indeed honoring you by putting your name in the play. Without your skill, Hamlet would just be a depressing play, and there is a still a whole lot of it to get through after we go on! The laughter of our scence is the only way to give the souls of the audience a relief from the sadness.
"Alas poor Yorick has gone home with a massive headache, as well as the other gravedigger, or I would bring them here so their own ears could hear your praise! I think they both had a bit too much before performance libations! But, Yorick has proven once again that each member of our ensemble is of importance, and his wisdom tonight has saved us all!
"Wait a moment while I cast up my accounts.
*Marx might have copied this bit from an unpublished play by Yorick, we'll never know.
This post was inspired by all my friends going into their later years and suddenly remembering they were supposed to be famous and successful by now. They all are successful, with good friends and family. Still personal fame is an elusive goal, and when you get older the fear you may never reach it causes much anxiety to say nothing of sports car shopping.
But, there aren't any stars down here on Earth. Every supposedly famous person is only a success because of having an audience. Every time I read a good book, or enjoy a work of art or even a well made meal at a restaurant, I am part of the success of the creator.
Success for me is when I write something, and someone I admire tells me how much they enjoyed reading it. I would not trade any number of blog hits or book sales for the compliments of those friends I admire. James Randi told me once how he felt he was much like a character in one of my children's short stories in the book "Fairy Tales, Fairly Told". He made the entire book a success for me with just that one comment. When one person is touched by something you have done that is better than fame. So keep creating and striving and hoping, but never ever think lack of fame means you are a failure.

Silak ullumi sujuk- What is the weather like today?Fieldwork in Nain, Nunatsiavut
Myrah Graham
"Please be advised that PAL airlines flight 962 to Nain is on weather hold. Update in thirty minutes." These announcements would become a mantra throughout the day, repeated six more times before finally receiving the news of its cancellation. Sorry folks, try again tomorrow. In most other airports in North America, this would be cause for outrage. But in the North, it's the reality of being closely bound to the weather.
I had never concerned myself with winds, waves and tides. Upon landing in Nain, it was my first and last thought: What is the weather like today? What is the weather like tomorrow? Without favourable conditions we were weather-bound, a florid way of saying: "not doing field work today." Although I was here to support research on Ogâtsuk (Rock Cod) and Ikaluk (Arctic Char), half our time was spent waiting for the thrashing of wind and surf to calm so that we could head out to the sampling sites.
The euphoria of finally making it out of the harbour aboard the Inuttatik was kept in check by the rush of activity needed to get all the equipment ready. Central to the data collection was a brand new drop camera, assembled and ready to be deployed across 80 sites in Nain's waters. While the camera captured beautiful tableaus of the seafloor, on board we focused on getting positions, depths and times diligently recorded and saved. Meanwhile, Willie and Ama steered the ship over precise waypoints and ensured we were well-fed with local delicacies.
The field day took on the rhythm of the rocking of the boat. Sometimes high activity, and sometimes a lull while we sailed onwards. On land as on the water, it was in the waiting that connections could blossom. As a new member of the 4D Oceans Lab, getting to know a fellow student, field technician and supervisor helped me feel more integrated in the team. As a newcomer to Nain, sharing stories with locals helped me gain more insight into the area we were studying and thus feel more connected. Captain Willie was very generous with his knowledge of the area, pointing out seals and Minke whales as they surfaced. During weather days on land, John at the Illusuak Cultural Centre shared stories of sea ice and snow, much reduced in recent years. And the brilliant team at the Nunatsiavut Research Centre graciously sharing anecdotes of other research happening in the area, as well as ideas for new directions.
By the end of my week in Nain, wondering Silak ullumi sujuk? didn't have the same anxiety about it. At sea as on land, we would still be doing meaningful work.

Chinese Construction Firm Reports Four Dead in Vietnam Riots
Workers hold banners reading "Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands belong to Vietnam" near Formosa factory in Ha Tinh, Vietnam, 15 May 2014 (DPA).
Beijing (DPA) — A Chinese company operating construction sites in Vietnam said four employees died and about 130 were injured in anti-Chinese rioting last week.
More than 3,500 employees of the China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC) were attacked by rioters in Vietnam's Ha Tinh province on May 14 at sites including a steel plant under construction for Taiwan-based Formosa Plastics.
The attacks, in which many foreign-owned sites were looted and burned, left 23 MCC employees seriously injured and four dead, the company said.
It said DNA tests were being conducted to identify two of those who died. It was not immediately clear if the other two were the same victims in the province reported by the Chinese government.
Four Chinese ships evacuated about 4,000 Chinese citizens from Vietnam earlier this week, while some 3,000 others left the country by other routes, including hundreds who fled across the border into Cambodia.
The anti-Chinese protests erupted following the deployment of a Chinese oil rig in waters claimed by Vietnam.

Drugs gang jailed for more than 50 years after GMP investigation
A gang who led a drugs conspiracy across Greater Manchester and Lancashire have been jailed for more than 50 years following the work of detectives from GMP's Serious and Organised Crime Group.
Eight men were sentenced this week, with the ringleader Michael Doyle from Salford due to be sentenced at a later date, after detectives kept a gang under surveillance as they used encrypted mobile phones to communicate and arrange their drugs drop-offs between 2019 and 2020.
Over £60k in cash and £400k worth of cocaine and amphetamine were seized as part of the large-scale investigation, along with machinery including a hydraulic press and paraphernalia used in the preparation of drugs.
Between June and December 2019, Michael Doyle, 35, from Salford, was identified as the head of the organised crime group and an investigation was launched.
Following months of work undertaken by a covert team of officers who kept the group under close surveillance, officers watched as they travelled around Greater Manchester and Lancashire dropping off various packages of drugs.
Some of the encrypted phones, which are largely used by criminals wanting to avoid being tracked by police, were recovered by officers following a raid at the home of Michael Mason from Salford on 1 October 2019 and showed a large amount of contact between group members.
By the end of November 2020, all nine of the men had been arrested and later charged following several raids, with drugs and cash located at various addresses around Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
At the home of Andrew Norris from Lancashire, officers also located an illegal shot gun taped to the back of an ironing board.
The following appeared at Manchester Crown Court this week (13-16 September 2021) and were sentenced to the following:
Michael Mason,10/06/1993, of The Peninsula Building, Kersal Way, Salford, jailed for 5 years, 10 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply amphetamine and money laundering
Michael Ellis, 04/09/1973, of Lower Broughton Road, Salford, jailed for 7 years for conspiracy to supply cocaine
Lee Jones, 03/08/1975, of Showman Caravan Site, Hindley, jailed for 8 years, 10 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine and amphetamine
Darryl Jennings, 03/09/1987, of Winston Public House, Salford, jailed for 5 years, 10 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine
Leo Doyle,11/12/1993, of Milan Street, Manchester, jailed for 3 years, 5 months for conspiracy to supply amphetamine
Daniel Partington, 20/03/1988, of Captain Fold Road, Salford, jailed for 5 years, 6 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine
Andrew Norris, 09/04/1970, of Shelley Close, Copull, Lancashire, jailed for 7 years, 9 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply cannabis, possession of a shotgun without a certificate
Glen Muddiman, 11/12/1981, 39 Crossfield Drive, Hindley Green, jailed for 7 years, 7 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine and amphetamine
All the defendants entered guilty pleas, Muddiman, Jones and Doyle a few days into their trial in August 2021. Michael Doyle, 15/08/1986, of Clippers Quay, Salford Quays, is due to be sentenced at a later date.
Detective Constable David Moran, of GMPs Serious and Organised Crime Group, said: "This was a complex investigation involving a large team of detectives who closely monitored the group, eventually leading to enough intelligence being gathered for officers to be able to execute raids on the relevant addresses that were housing large quantities of drugs and cash.
"These men were key figures in a large North West drug supply chain and I am happy with the sentences received this week.
"Our officers have worked extremely hard to bring these people to justice but most importantly it means that we now have nine less criminals on the streets of Greater Manchester, making our local communities a safer place to live.
"I'd like to remind anyone concerned in the supply of drugs, that we will catch up with you and make sure that you face the consequences of your actions.
"Drugs destroy lives and contribute to lining the pockets of dangerous criminals. I'd urge anyone with information or anyone concerned about drug supply in their area to contact police so we can continue to fight this type of crime."
Anyone with concerns or information about serious and organised crime can contact police on 101. Alternatively, reports can be made via our Live Chat facility on our website at www.gmp.police.uk
Details can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.


The U13 Girls entered two teams into the 7-a-side Hull Schools Football tournament at St Marys last night.
SEMI FINAL: This saw Sirius West "A" go through as group leaders and would play against Sirius Academy North in a 1st v 2nd play off. Sirius West came out worthy winners with a 2 – 0 victory, goals from Georgia Coggin and Isabelle Taylor to take the Sirius West side through to the final against St Marys "A", who they had drawn with in the group stages.
FINAL: Sirius West "A" had gone into the final against St Marys "A" without conceding a goal, however, St Marys really showed their quality in front of goal and managed to win this game comfortobaly with a 4 – 0 victory, which would see Sirius West "A" finish as runners up, a fantastic achievement from the 7 players:- Lucy Sainty, Phoebe Armstrong, Kadie Laws, Chantelle Dunn, Isabelle Taylor, Rachel Robinson and Georgia Coggin.

Dispute over study costs hangs over Dennis town meeting
Town officials to ask voters at Saturday session to authorize lower payment to town of Yarmouth
Christine Legere
clegere@capecodonline.com
SOUTH DENNIS — Saturday's special town meeting warrant includes a handful of petition articles, a few tweaks to this year's budget and some capital projects. But the item that may prompt the most discussion is a relatively modest bill for a regional middle school study done a few years ago.
Town meeting is set for 10 a.m. under a tent at the Nathaniel H. Wixon School. If it rains, the meeting will be moved to 1 p.m. on Sunday. The quorum is 75 voters.
The Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee are in agreement on most of the recommendations they plan to make for the 19 warrant articles.
But voters will get some conflicting guidance on how much Dennis should pay for its share of the study for a new regional middle school.
The bill sent to Dennis by the school district is for $138,235.
Dennis selectmen argue they are being overcharged and will ask voters to instead authorize $123,803, which represents the 31% of the regional school costs Dennis was responsible for at the time the study was done.
The town's higher contribution rate of 35% being charged by the school district wasn't agreed to until 2019, they said.
The Finance Committee will urge voters on Saturday to reduce the payment even further to $82,932, subtracting out the $40,871 the town paid attorneys last year to defend it in school-related suits brought by Yarmouth.
Two of the five selectmen — Sheryl McMahon and John Terrio — agree with the Finance Committee and also support the smaller contribution.
During discussion of their recommendations earlier this month, Selectman Paul McCormick said a Yarmouth selectman called him to warn that three of the five board members in that town might consider backing out of the regional wastewater project being planned for Dennis, Yarmouth and Harwich, if Dennis selectmen reduced their payment for the school study.
"They shouldn't have sued us, but I think perhaps this small amount will show that they can trust us," McCormick told fellow board members. "I'm fearful something could happen with wastewater. I'm fearful of losing all the things we worked hard on for many years."
McMahon argued that the town had never signed a contract to pay the amount on the school study bill.
"To think we're going to jump through hoops again to satisfy Yarmouth," she said. "All they do is make demands on us, and we pay, and pay and pay. What's the next thing they're going to hold over us?"
Terrio was also angry at the threat from Yarmouth to scuttle the wastewater project.
"So Paul, if we think paying the full amount is going to have Yarmouth say 'OK, we'll come to the party again,' that disturbs me," he said.
On Tuesday, Yarmouth Selectman Tracy Post confirmed her board had been unhappy to hear that Dennis officials were talking about lowering the payment for the study.
"It's kind of disappointing, and it gave some of us pause," Post said. "I understand about the legal fees, but that should have been a separate conversation."
Yarmouth selectmen only learned of the plan in Dennis not to pay the requested amount for the study by reading about it in the newspaper.
"I thought our relationship was better than that," Post said. "They should have reached out to us."
Among the other warrant articles up for discussion Saturday are a ban on jumping or diving from bridges (violation of which would carry a fine of $200); $1.02 million in capital projects; a proposed name change from the Board of Selectmen to the Select Board; a resolution saying the town recognizes a climate emergency and will adopt a policy to work to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions locally to zero over time; and a ban on plastic straws and stirrers.
The Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee will recommend that voters indefinitely postpone a petition from resident Barb Lambdin to prohibit use of engine-assisted brakes in town. The town's lawyer advised that the state attorney general would disapprove the measure, if passed, as being inconsistent with federal and state regulations.
A proposed ban on the sale of single-use plastic water bottles is also on the warrant as a petition article. Lead petitioner Susan Kennie told selectmen she would ask voters to postpone it indefinitely and put the petition back on the spring town meeting warrant.

Загальні дані

Музей рідкісної книги міститься на другому поверсі старовинної будівлі колишнього купецького зібрання, де зараз розташувалася фундаментальна бібліотека Ніжинського державного університету імені Миколи Гоголя, й знаходиться у центрі Ніжина за адресою:
вул. Гоголя, буд. 4 (Бібліотека Ніжинського державного університету імені Миколи Гоголя, Музей рідкісної книги), м. Ніжин (Чернігівська область, Україна).
Музейний заклад працює щодня, крім суботи та неділі, з 8.30 до 17.00.
Сайт музею: http://nigin-museum.do.am/ . Цей ресурс створено в рамках програми "Музейний сайт" часопису "Музеї України".

З історії книгозбирання й музею в Ніжині

Початок формування книжкових зібрань Ніжинського університету сягає першої чверті XIX століття і тісно пов'язаний з іменами засновників Ніжинської Гімназії Вищих Наук братів Олександра та Іллі Безбородьків. З нагоди відкриття в Ніжині у 1820 році навчального закладу, нащадок родини Безбородьків, відомий меценат та його почесний попечитель граф О. Г. Кушелєв-Безбородько подарував Гімназії перші 2 500 томів книг російської та європейської літератури XVIII — початку XIX століть з родинної бібліотеки.

Згодом фонди поповнювали нові надходження від різноманітних благодійників, спеціальна література, навчальні посібники, передплатні та періодичні видання. У 1875 році, після реорганізації Гімназії у Ніжинський історико-філологічний інститут, бібліотека придбала цінні книжкові зібрання професорів Московського університету С. П. Шевирьова (1806-1864), Лейпцизького — Ф.-В. Річля (1806-1876), директора Санкт-Петербурзького історико-філологічного інституту І. Б. Штейнмана (1819-1872), колекцію унікальних стародоруків XVII-XVIII століть Н. М. Михайловського. Також її склад поповнили дублетні примірники польських стародруків з колекції «Polonica» бібліотеки Варшавського університету та рідкісні палеотипи та стародруки XVI—XVIII століть з Ніжинського Грецького Олександрівського училища.

Згодом бібліотеку поповнювали цінні приватні зібрання директорів Ліцею В. Кукольника, І. Орлая та Х. А. Екеблада, академіків В. І. Рєзанова та К. Харламповича, професорів І. Г. Турцевича, М. Н. Бережкова, К. Ф. Радченка, протоієрея о. Андрія Хойнацького та інших.

Формувався унікальний рукописний фонд бібліотеки, де зберігалися унікальні кодекси XI—XIX століть, у тому числі грецьке рукописне Євангеліє Х—ХІ століть на пергаменті, фрагменти рукописної грузинської Біблії XI—XIII століть, західно- та південнослов'янські рукописи та грамоти венеціанських дожів XIV—XVI століть, українські та російські рукописні книги XVI—XIX століть, окремі редакції козацьких літописів та «Ніжинський літопис» XVII-XVIII століть, автографи творів та листи письменника М. В. Гоголя тощо.

Однак, ці унікальні рукописи та інші стародруки впродовж 1930—1950-х років вилучалися з Ніжина, і на тепер перебувають у фондах Інституту Рукопису Національної Бібліотеки України імені В. Вернадського, бібліотеки Київського Національного Університету імені Т. Шевченка та інших наукових центрів України.

Власне сучасний ніжинський Музей рідкісної книги був створений у 1985 році з ініціативи тодішнього ректора Ніжинського державного педінституту Федора Степановича Арвата та директора бібліотеки Наталії Олександрівні Ленченко на базі унікальних книжкових зібрань університетської бібліотеки.

Від 1986 року музей носить ім'я одного з учасників його створення професора Григорія Петровича Васильківського (1905—1986).

Дарують Музею свої книги і наші сучасники-митці. За останній час колекція книжок з автографами авторів поповнилася численними творами відомих науковців і письменників, зокрема і наших земляків-ніжинців — поетів Ігоря Качуровського (лауреата Шевченківської премії), колишнього студента ніжинського вишу Леоніда Горлача, який презентував до бібліотеки alma mater свої видання.

У теперішній час екскурсійне обслуговування та індивідуальне відвідування Музею потрібно замовляти заздалегідь письмовою заявкою на ім'я ректора університету.

Музей рідкісної книги Ніжинського державного університету імені Миколи Гоголя щорічно відвідують сотні гостей, в тому числі — політики і науковці, учасники міжнародних наукових конференцій та іноземні делегації. Традиційними для Музею стали презентації раритетних видань вітчизняних авторів, відвідання закладу студентами-першокурсниками та надання консультацій науковцям та викладачам не тільки з України, але й з-за кордону, студентам університету та учням шкіл міста при написанні ними творчих робіт. У постійних планах роботи Музею — оновлення музейного обладнання, проведення науково-пошукової роботи з метою вивчення фондів бібліотеки, складання анотованих наукових описів та каталогів стародруків із зібрання Ніжинського університету, реставрація тих книжкових шедеврів, що не винесли випробування часом, перетворення Музею в активно діючий науково-дослідницький центр.

Фонди й експозиція

У 2 невеликих залах ніжинського Музею рідкісної книги імені Г. П. Васильківського представлено понад 11 800 експонатів.

Цінними музейними експонатами є книги — дарунки авторів та видавців. Так, бібліотека Ніжинського університету є одним з нечисленних власників повного комплекту видання книги «Подорож навколо світу» відомого мореплавця та земляка-ніжинця Юрія Лисянського — у 1827 році славетний мандрівник особисто подарував цей комплект бібліотеці Ліцею. Зберігаються в книгозбірні також книги, подаровані російським придворним поетом Г. Державіним та історіографом М. Карамзіним, директором Ніжинського Ліцею І.

Почесне місце в експозиції займає творчість видатного ніжинського «студента» — письменника Миколи Васильовича Гоголя, також заслуговує на увагу підбірка творів Тараса Григоровича Шевченка, зокрема три видання «Кобзаря» великого українського поета: петербурзьке 1867, празьке 1876 та київське 1918 року.

Good Rosie!
Beloved storyteller Kate DiCamillo and cartoonist Harry Bliss introduce some delightfully doggy dogs in a warm, funny tale of a timid pup who needs a friend.
Rosie is a good dog and a faithful companion to her owner, George. She likes taking walks with George and looking at the clouds together, but the closest she comes to another dog is when she encounters her reflection in her empty dog bowl, and sometimes that makes Rosie feel lonely. One day George takes Rosie to the dog park, but the park is full of dogs that Rosie doesn't know, which makes her feel lonelier than ever. When big, loud Maurice and small, yippy Fifi bound over and want to play, Rosie's not sure how to respond. Is there a trick to making friends? And if so, can they all figure it out together?
Kate DiCamillo's writing journey has truly been a remarkable one. She grew up in Florida and moved to Minnesota in her twenties, where homesickness and a bitter winter led her to write Because of Winn-Dixie - her first published novel, which became a runaway bestseller and snapped up a Newbery Honor. The Tiger Rising, her second novel, was also set in Florida, and went on to become a National Book Award Finalist. Since then, the best-selling author has explored settings as varied as a medieval castle, a magician's theater, and the bustling streets of Memphis, while continuing to enjoy great success, winning two Newbery Medals and being named National Ambassador for Young People's Literature.
In her latest novel Raymie Nightingale, an instant New York Times #1 bestseller, she returns to her roots, once more setting the story in the Central Florida of her childhood. Like Raymie Clarke, the hero of this novel, Kate DiCamillo grew up in a small southern town in the seventies with a single mother, and she, too, entered a Little Miss contest and attempted to learn to twirl a baton. But while Raymie's story is inspired by the author's own life, Kate DiCamillo has transformed these seeds of truth into fiction - and in doing so, has captured a more universal truth.
No matter where her books are set, their themes of hope and belief amid impossible circumstances and their messages of shared humanity and connectedness have resonated with readers of all ages around the world. In her instant #1 New York Times bestseller The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, a haughty china rabbit undergoes a profound transformation after finding himself facedown on the ocean floor - lost, and waiting to be found. The Tale of Despereaux - the Newbery Medal-winning novel that later inspired an animated adventure from Universal Pictures - stars a tiny mouse with exceptionally large ears who is driven by love to become an unlikely hero. The Magician's Elephant, an acclaimed and exquisitely paced fable, dares to ask the question, What if? And Kate DiCamillo's second Newbery Medal winner, Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures, was released in 2013 to great acclaim, garnering five starred reviews and an instant spot on the New York Times bestseller list.
Born in Philadelphia but raised in the South, Kate DiCamillo now lives in Minneapolis.

Now law: MVC to educate drivers on rights and responsibilities during traffic stops
TRENTON, N.J. – Drivers will soon have a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities during traffic stops — the most common law enforcement interaction for Americans.
Under legislation (A3871) signed by Gov. Phil Murphy today, the Motor Vehicle Commission must produce a video on drivers' rights and responsibilities during police traffic stops and incorporate it into their education and testing process.
"As a mom and an advocate for education, I was excited to embrace this bill because it offers an important learning opportunity for new drivers. Understanding your rights when stopped for a traffic violation is just as important as reading and interpreting road signs," said Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, a prime sponsor of the bill. "It equips drivers with the knowledge to act responsibly and ultimately encourages more positive police encounters. It also creates a safer environment for law enforcement."
Drivers are granted certain rights under state and federal law, including the right to be free from unreasonable or illegal searches by law enforcement, and the right to remain silent and not answer questions by the police.
"We want to establish a foundation for safer, less stressful police interactions and in order to do that, we must educate people on what actions are permissible under the law," said Dunn (R-Morris). "Educating new drivers is an issue that should be championed by both sides of the aisle and I am glad I will get to see this law implemented."
The law will take effect in seven months. After this time, soon-to-be drivers will be required to watch the video before taking the written examination for a validated permit.
