It's safe to say that Democrats had high hopes for the 2016 Senate elections. While Republicans had 24 seats to defend this cycle, Democrats only had 10 seats to protect. Many of these seats were in swing states where Democrats figured they could win by utilizing the turnout advantage we witnessed in the past two presidential election years. However, as we saw the night of November 8, this map was not nearly as promising for Democrats as they had previously hoped.
As we have argued in the past, looking only through the prism of wins and losses gives us only a one-dimensional picture of what happened. With this in mind, we developed our PAAR (Percent Above Anticipated Result) model which tries to set the level that a generic Republican and Democratic candidate "should" receive if running against each other. This model, based mainly on past election results, demographic changes, and whether an incumbent is running, has proven to be highly accurate in both Senate and Presidential races. Indeed, the PAAR model typically shows that candidates have a tough time exceeding the PAAR score by more than 3 percentage points, and it also predicts results more accurately one year away from the election than many aggregators and prognosticators on the day before the election.
In September of 2015, we ran the model on the upcoming U.S. Senate races and the end result was a prediction that that the most likely outcome was Democrats ending up with 49 seats this election cycle, falling just short of winning back the majority. While other models (such as FiveThirtyEight, Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium, and the Upshot) that use information up to Election Day, projected Democrats would regain the upper chamber, we all are aware that Democrats ended up falling short of these projections by winning just 48 seats. Regardless, when looking at the PAAR model, Democrats and Republicans ended up about where the model expected them to be a year and a half out.
In this memo, we look back at our Senate PAAR model to see who lived up to our expectations, who exceeded them, and who was left behind.
While PAAR performed better than most in regards to how many seats Democrats would hold beginning in 2017, it is worth looking at the explicit details to find out what went right and wrong. It should be noted before we start that Alaska was excluded from our breakdown because of the unique nature of this year's election where four independent candidates received a combined total of over 40 percent. In the 33 races we did analyze, Democratic candidates were off from their PAAR score by an absolute average of 3.8 percentage points while Republicans were off by a similar 3.6 point margin. This is slightly better than PAAR's predictions in 2014, which on average had Democrats off by 4.2 percentage points and Republicans by 3.9 points.
Given Democrats' underperformance nationwide this cycle, it is unsurprising that Democratic candidates typically had negative PAAR scores. Indeed, 20 of the 33 Democrats received negative PAAR scores, compared to 16 Republicans. What we did find more surprising was that the scores were unevenly distributed; in some states where Democrats were expected to do well (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin), they underperformed, but they also exceeded expectations in solid red states such as Kentucky and Alabama.
By far, the Democrat who exceeded PAAR's expectations (red state or not) was Ron Crumpton in Alabama – his score was 11.4 percentage points. Despite that stellar performance bump, he still lost to incumbent Senator Richard Shelby by 30 points. However, before we congratulate Mr. Crumpton, we should point out that Shelby spent $12 million compared to Crumpton, who spent just under $30,000. It's hard to say there are lessons to be learned here other than that Shelby did not spend his money wisely; he wins the award for least successful campaign of 2016…congrats?
Other Democratic campaigns that overperformed included Jim Gray, who received a score of 5.6 points in his race against Senator Rand Paul in Kentucky, despite losing to the former presidential candidate by 13 points on Election Day. In Louisiana, Foster Campbell received a score of 1.5 points, ultimately losing out to John Kennedy (not the Kennedy you're thinking). And, albeit by a smaller margin, the race in Arkansas also saw a positive Democratic PAAR score (0.6 points).
As far as who performed the "worst" or, said in another way, the Democrat who underachieved by the largest margin was Eliot Glassheim in North Dakota; his PAAR score was -20 points. Many factors contributed to this staggering deficit, including Senator Hoeven's extremely high favorability ratings, the Trump wave, and Senator Heitkamp raising the bar for Democrats in 2012. The silver lining, if you can call it that, for Democrats is that a win in North Dakota, an extremely red state that carried Trump 63% to 27% against Clinton, wasn't exactly expected. Additionally, Glassheim only spent $32,000 while Hoeven spent almost $2.8 million. While Hoeven probably did not need to spend nearly that much, he outperformed expectations with a PAAR score of 17.6, a result which gave Hoeven a much better return on investment compared to his Republican counterpart in Alabama.
There were also a handful of Democrats who fell below expectations in states that, while not expected places to win, the party had been eyeing since the beginning of the election cycle. When we take safe states North Dakota and Vermont off the table, the two states in which Democrats fared the worst were Ohio and Iowa. In the Buckeye State, where Senator Rob Portman seemed vulnerable at the beginning of the cycle, Ted Strickland saw a tough loss and ultimately received a score of -10.9 points. And in Iowa, where Senator Grassley faced his toughest reelection bid in recent years, Patty Judge received a PAAR score of -8.1 points.
It is worth pointing out that these are two states that President Obama won in 2008 and 2012, but Trump won in 2016. Clearly this shift did not help the two Democratic candidates, but the underperformance was well above average.
Furthermore, Democrats underperformed and received negative PAAR scores in Oregon, Maryland, and Washington, states considered generally "safe" for Democrats. With that being said, these seats were not in question and the respective Democrats won without breaking a sweat.
Beyond these states, unsurprisingly, Democrats generally did poorly in red states like Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and South Carolina and performed well in blue states such as Connecticut, Hawaii, and New York.
If you look at the ten states that were estimated to be the closest races heading into Election Day, PAAR did an even better job at forecasting the eventual outcome; it was off by an average of 2.16 percentage points for Democrats and 1.96 points for Republicans. These results are, again, quite similar to some other projections. We had the same call as RealClearPolitics' final polling average in all ten states and of those ten, there were five states where the PAAR margin was closer to the actual result than FiveThirtyEight's predictions. That being said, we should remind everyone that our scores were released in 2015 before some candidates were known while the others mentioned here were using polling numbers up to Election Day.
There were also a couple of swing states that were viewed as winnable for Democrats based on the candidates and the perceived weakness of the Republicans having Trump at that top of the ticket. At the end of the day, only one of these Democratic candidates exceeded their expected result.
In Missouri, where many people were continuously impressed by Jason Kander's campaign, PAAR predicted almost exactly the final spread. PAAR projected the race would end in incumbent Roy Blunt's favor, 49.3% to 46%; Blunt ended up winning on Election Day 49.4% to 46.2%. Kander exceeded his PAAR score by just 0.2 points and while Blunt exceeded his by only 0.1 points. In the end both campaigns spent $24,536,032 collectively, and that is not including any outside groups or independent expenditures, which is a lot of money for neither side to change the most likely outcome.
In Indiana, Democrats celebrated once they had convinced former Senator Evan Bayh to run for his seat again, but he ended up doing far worse than the polls or pundits forecasted. However, PAAR managed to foresee the realities of the race and predicted that the Republican candidate (in this case, Todd Young) would pull ahead of the Democrat to win 51% to 45.2%. Young ended up winning on November 8th by a slightly larger margin, 52.1% to 42.4%. In the end, Bayh spent $14,061,996 and underperformed by 2.8 points while Young spent $21,326,003 and overperformed by 1.1 points.
Another state that surprised a lot of people on Election Night was Wisconsin. Former Senator Russ Feingold was considered all but a shoo-in to replace current incumbent Ron Johnson but in the end lost 50% to 47%, disappointing Democrats with a -4.5 PAAR score. As we discussed in an earlier piece dissecting state-by-state results, Wisconsin flipped dramatically in 2016 from 2012, with Clinton underperforming Obama by 231,740 votes overall. However, as we will discuss in a future piece, Feingold scored lower than Clinton did in the Badger State.
Beyond these three races, the other swing states were split evenly has far as which Democrats saw positive PAAR scores and which received negative scores. Deborah Ross did particularly well with her score of 1.8 points in North Carolina, which was the highest score among Democrats in all ten swing states. Katie McGinty had the worst night of the ten, receiving the lowest score in the group (-4.6 points).
The two highest scoring Republican campaigns were – not all that unexpectedly – in North and South Dakota. Still, Senators John Hoeven (R-ND) and John Thune (R-SD) turned races that were already expected to be blowouts into absolute beatings: Hoeven won by 62 percentage points (79% to 17%) and Thune won by 44 percentage points (72% to 28%). However, the Republican who deserves the most credit for a well-run campaign is, without question, Rob Portman of Ohio. The first-term Senator had originally been on many short-lists of those most likely to lose their seats and as an establishment figure in a decidedly anti-establishment year, he seemed to be swimming against the current of the 2016 cycle. However, he turned what had previously thought to have been a close race (PAAR projected the race as a 50-48 win for Portman) to his advantage and ended up winning by nearly 21 percentage points (58% to 37%).
On the Democratic side, there weren't very many candidates with overly positive performances. Each of the four Democrats to get a PAAR score greater than 3.0 points – meaning they went significantly above expectation – was also in a race that was decided by 15 percentage points or more. However, five of the ten Democrats in swing races did earn positive scores: Kirkpatrick in Arizona, Murphy in Florida, Kander in Missouri, Hassan in New Hampshire, and Ross in North Carolina. While Kander, Hassan, and Ross were crowd favorites during the election cycle, sadly, only Hassan did enough to win as she flipped the race from a projected Democratic loss to a win.
In November of 2015, we warned that Democrats were far too optimistic about the likelihood of regaining the Senate. Our PAAR model showed them coming up short, and even PAAR ended up overselling Democrats' likelihood of winning. PAAR was again quite accurate for a tool that doesn't factor any information about candidates, which further reinforces the idea that partisan preferences are being hardwired into the electorate and candidates have less and less of an opportunity to alter the political gravity in Senate races. It is also showing that most of our Senate campaigns are spending a lot of money and doing very little to change the chances of winning.


There's a new international TV spot out for "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," and it gives us a glimpse of just how powerful the dark side has become.
The Force will need to be strong with old Luke Skywalker.
YouTube channel Star Wars Korea released a new TV spot for "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" on Sunday. While most of the footage in the 30-second movie trailer has appeared in previous clips, the first few seconds feature new footage. It shows just how strong the dark side has become in the 30 years since the Empire was defeated in the Battle of Endor.
In the clip, which you can watch below, we see hundreds -- if not thousands -- of Stormtroopers who belong to the First Order, the evil organization that is all that is left of the old Empire. The troops are all looking up at the leaders of the movement, who will include Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson), Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) and others.
In the background are several TIE fighters and what appear to be new AT-ATs, painting a brief picture of a truly formidable army.
It looks like the heroes of the former Rebel Alliance -- now known as the Resistance -- have their work cut out for them.
The battle will begin later this year, when "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," directed by J.J. Abrams, is released. It premieres in theaters on December 17 in Australia, and December 18 in the US, UK and elsewhere.

Grandparents! Unleash your creativity, passion and wisdom to transform you and your family.
Omama Gina, our dance was through a flicker of time. So out of place in 1950s Newark; plump, romantic, pre-Raphaelite sprite, with garlands in her hair. We sprawled on her living-room rug, drawing rainbows and sunbursts, princesses and unicorns. And oh we danced, channeling her rebellious sister, the one who had beguiled Kafka. Gina's (hard "G") wistful aquamarine gaze – was she always yearning? Was it for her girlhood in Poland, before blood coursed down the cobblestones of Tarnow? Or was she pining for a husband more gallant than the dour, withholding cantor?
She called me Himmlisches Wesen (Heavenly Creature), bathing me in the tenderness she never received, introducing me to art, to movement, to the poetry of the imagination, She was 59 and I was seven when she died, suddenly.
Opapa Juda, for you I felt mostly fear. He clung to the tenets of his faith more ardently and knew them better than he ever seemed to know or care for us. While Omama still lived, their apartment was welcoming, redolent of chicken soup; with him alone, it felt chilly and austere. I found its dark, heavy European furnishings inexplicably menacing.
He once caught me defiling the Sabbath by writing and sketching when I thought he was napping. He seized my artwork and berated me with such ferocity that I refused to stay with him overnight ever again. Years later, long after he was gone, I realized that underneath his harshness, he too was yearning – for parents and siblings swallowed up in the Lodj Ghetto.
I felt love for him only when my brother and I sat at his feet, on the bimah of of his synagogue – where he loomed over us, over everyone, in a black satin robe and tall chazzen's hat, swaying, chanting, bursting forth with the liturgical melodies of Europe and the atonal wails of Israel. It was there, on that bimah, that he collapsed and died after trudging to shul one frigid Saturday morning. To my brother he bequeathed his gifts for music; I got only the love of it – but God, that was a lot.
Großvater Aaron, I never knew you. All I have of him is a charcoal portrait – rakish, broody, movie-star handsome – hanging in my foyer. His insistence that he would never abandon his beloved Berlin "nur mit dem letzen zug" ("only on the last train") cost him his life; by the time he agreed to leave, Hitler had slammed shut the gate. My parents often reproached me for displaying Aaron Orbach's penchant for last-minute departures. I don't know what he would have been to me, in life. In death, he put a face on history and ignited my fervor for social justice.
Großmutter Nelly: living under our roof, you were the steadfast companion of my youth. My father swore, after Auschwitz, that he would never again be separated from her. Though her legs were failing (from a trolley accident after which she dared not seek medical attention during the war), she and my father were still a formidable duo: ferociously smart, bawdy and combative. They invariably eclipsed my genteel, weary mother.
That she spoke only German ensured I would grow up bilingual, because I – like she – hungered to know everything, and would tolerate no secrets. Together we watched television nonstop: The Price is Right, As the World Turns, The Donna Reed Show, Twilight Zone, Yankee baseball, Million Dollar Movie. I was her translator, both of us seeking to comprehend and to mimic, through that glowing box in the darkened den, what it meant to be American.
It was fitting that after she departed, it was time for me to go too. She died weeks before my high-school graduation. Hungry to know and see and do everything, I left for New York and college at 16, and never looked back.
Each time I heard it, I could scarcely wrap my head around it. With all that she – that our family – had endured… how could she still summon this naive gratitude?
Nellyschen, companion of my youth: your gratitude became mine. It defines me.
I am grateful for you – for all of you – and for everything you taught me; and for your children (of blessed memory), my most loving parents.
All of you – you are with me forever.

Audit critical of town of Charleston's bookkeeping | The Daily Gazette

Audit critical of town of Charleston's bookkeeping
A state audit made available Thursday is critical of town of Charleston bookkeeping practices and ci
Jim McGuire
A state audit made available Thursday is critical of town of Charleston bookkeeping practices and cites Supervisor Shayne T. Walters for failing to maintain "complete, accurate and up-to-date accounting records."
The audit, conducted by examiners with the state Comptroller's Office, concluded that Walters failed to provide "any training or sufficient oversight to ensure that the [town] bookkeeper performed these duties adequately."
Instead of general ledgers to record town funds, the audit said, the bookkeeper used a spreadsheet to track cash receipts and disbursements. Cash balances were not accurately reconciled to bank statements, the audit found. Only once in 20 months were the accounts and bank statement reconciled properly, the auditors said.
"We compared the cash disbursement spreadsheets to the budget spreadsheet and found that none of the 24 months agreed," the auditors said, noting that discrepancies ranged from $900 to $100,000.
Walters said Thursday that the town's former bookkeeper declined to attend training and that software available to the town when he took office in 2004 failed to operate properly when attempts were made to produce the annual financial reports filed with the state.
Walters said he sent numerous letters to the comptroller's office during his tenure reporting the problems and asking for assistance. He said state officials sent replacement software but did not visit until the audit began in late 2009.
"The audit is the audit," Walters said of the document released Thursday to the public, but he emphasized that "the audit doesn't say there was misappropriation of funds. ... It doesn't say one dime of money is missing."
Walters said the Town Board was fully aware of the situation and every expenditure was authorized by the board. The formal recordkeeping was flawed, he said, "but our checkbook was fine."
Walters' opponent in the last election, former Supervisor Christoph Piening, called the audit "a devastating report." In his last campaign, Piening said he warned residents and the Town Board that there were problems with the town financial records.
"Everything that I said has been borne out to be factual," he said.
The auditors said Walters' "lack of oversight over the bookkeeper has resulted in the town's accounting records being incomplete, inaccurate and untimely. ... As a result, the board's ability to monitor and manage the town's financial resources has been severely diminished."
The audit determined that Walters had failed to file required annual update documents with the comptroller's office from fiscal years 2003 to 2008. Auditors noted that Walters told them he tried to file the 2004 financials "and had problems with the electronic software."
During the two years the auditors were working with the town, it was noted, Walters did file annual reports for 2004-09. But, the auditors said, Walters adjusted the fund balances in the general fund and highway fund — in sums of $300,000 and $100,000 respectively — to balance accounts with actual cash on hand.
The auditors determined that the adjustments resulted from inadequate accounting records.
Walters said all of the findings were addressed by the town by the time the auditors packed up and left.

Chinggis Hot, in Hentii organised a Internationnal Folk Art Festival where many people could represent Mongolian culture, ethnic group culture or their own culture. I was invited for this occasion and I performed 3 songs, 2 on Morin Huur, and one on Morchang.
For the little story, I actually had a food poison in the morning before the performance.. I was stuck in bed and I took all my strength to get out for the parade. Each country had to walk and show their flags. It passed and once on stage I felt better. Again a great experience and it was good to see that city again.

190 YEARS OF THE GARDEN
A speech of prof. dr. Tone Wraber at the presentation of the first monograph on the Botanical Garden in Ljubljana written by J. Bavcon, issued on the occasion of the 190th anniversary of the Garden.
(10 October 2000)
See some more pictures
Occasions when one can make a speech in honour of the 190th anniversary of uninterrupted functioning of a Slovenian institution are quite rare indeed. This pleasure befell me as a representative of the older generation of Slovenian botanists, one of those who tend to look back into the past, especially if this is as abounding in memorable achievements as the history of the institution whose 190th anniversary is being remembered and celebrated at this congregation. The invitation told us to come to the Ljubljana Botanical Garden, and should one still feel uncertain as to his whereabouts, the green surroundings should dispell any doubts there might be. I do feel I have reasons enough to speak above all about the future of our almost bicentenial celebratus and this is what I am going to do. However, it would be wrong not to mention at least some of the facts relating to the rich tradition of this excellent institution. This seems all the more justified as the modern times are marked by overall exaggerations of every kind, so that the term traditional is often misapplied to things aged fifteen, ten years or even less. The present 190th anniversary is of course the real thing - real tradition, and what makes it so very special is that though old in years, the Garden is astoundingly young in appearance and functioning and fit to face the century to come. Let us then take a closer look at our maiden aged 190 years! It is said that Napoleon's army left us some physical souvenirs whose descendants still live in our midst. In one case at least this must be perfectly true: in 1810, Ljubljana as the center of the newly established Illyric Provinces welcomed the founding of the Ecole Centrale which fell in love with a beautiful girl, our Slovenian (pedants would insist on "Carniolan") Flora - Cvetana in Slovenian. The proposal of matrimony was accepted - the wedding ceremony was conducted by Franc Hladnik, a native of Idrija, to whom the occasion could not have fallen too difficult as he was a priest in addition to being a professor of the Ljubljana grammar school (where as a prefect he also signed Prešern's school certificates), and a botanist of renown not only at home but also outside the then Carniola, to say, in imperial Vienna. Born out of this marriage was a fine healthy child, so strong that it is well and alive even today. Though one of the parents left it very soon, the child survived the shock quite easily because Mother Cvetana - assisted by a series of ever-new fathers - has remained at its side to these very days. In 1843 Cvetana received her first acknowledgement, A Survey of Carniolan Flora, by Andrej Fleischmann, Hladnik's pupil, gardener and later also director of the Garden. Some fifty or sixty years after the wedding the Garden seemed to survive almost entirely through a large variety of fruit trees. This lasted until 1886 when Cvetana found herself another lover. This proved to be a very steady marriage lasting as long as 1931. The man, a professor by the name of Alfonz Paulin was the most attentive of husbands; he realized that Cvetana was not be neglected so she became an exclusive object of his fervent research. He surely could not have had any problems in this respect as he actually never married in real life. His era is marked by an impressive amount of new knowledge on Carniolan flora. In 1889 he introduced an international exchange of seeds. In the Garden a new herbarial collection was in the making, a corner stone of the present-day collection of the Biology Unit of the Biotechnical Faculty. Between 1901 and 1936 he published, by models that continue to be valid also in our times, an exsiccate collection "Flora exsiccata Carniolica". After the foundation of the University of Ljubljana, he decicated some semesters to the teaching of botany. Then, however, came the year 1918 and therewith the disintegration of the state of birth. A new state was born, restoring to the Garden its original purpose, allowing it, after more than a century, to again become a University Botanical Garden. At the beginning of this period it was still led by A. Paulin. After Paulin the formerly close link between the Garden and the research engaged in by its directors became less firm or else there was none at all. In 1964 the Garden passed into the control of algologist Jože Lazar. In his time the Garden was enlarged and got its first and only greenhouse. A memorial was erected to Alfonz Paulin (1963) and a special publication was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the Garden (1960). Lazar's period is associated with pioneer Slovenian investigations of freshwater algae, which found expression in his major work Freshwater Algae in Slovenia: Catalogue of Freshwater Species and Determination Key (1960). Lazar's successor Vinko Strgar was the first Garden director who beside being a biologist had also been trained as a gardener. In his time (1967-1992) an important section of the Garden research was dedicated to the genus Sesleria while attempts were made at growing Velebit degenia, Pontic azalea, and Blagay's daphne. The first guide through the Garden appeared in 1973. A newly described houseleek from Donačka gora was named after Juvan (1971), Paulin's pupil who worked in the Garden between 1896 and 1960, thus becoming the epitome of Slovenian botanic gardening. And here we are in the midst of the our own times! The Garden has since 1995 been in the hands of Jože Bavcon. Under him the Garden premises have undergone various renovations; he is behind the tremendous boom of the guiding activities in the Garden and is responsible for the publication which has brought us here today, and .... More about this "and ..." a little later, let me first say a word or two on - financial means! what else... The present Garden functions with extremely modest, I should say shamefully restrained means. I would not say that there is a complete lack of understanding for its work. What I have in mind by referring to shamefully restrained means is the regular project-based financing of the institution. All the renovations in the Garden - and they have not been few! - have been made possible due to the special means acquired thanks to the Municipality of Ljubljana and recently also the Ministry of Science and Technology. The richly endowed publication which is before us is being published by the publisher Kmečki Glas, and this has likewise been realized with the help of the Municipality of Ljubljana. The publishing house Krokar gets the credit for a smaller Garden Guide (1998) and the afore-mentioned sponsors and some others for the advertising material. And last but not least, the collaboration of such horticulturally informed enthousiasts as Mr. Stane Sušnik is much appreciated. It could be said that the situation has been improving, yet the crucial task still lies ahead of us. What I have in mind is the laying out of the new Botanical Garden of the University of Ljubljana at the long determined location in the Biology Center along Večna pot. While the present Garden is to be preserved as a monument of landscape gardening, the new Garden is to expand its activities in the realm of scientific research, education, nature conservation, as well as spirit and body. This of course is no minor task - it is in fact a great challenge to be met in the new millenium. After a considerable lapse of time I this year revisited Kew Gardens near London, and what I saw there filled me with pride at being a botanist. This is how my heart and mind feel here and now, and I firmly believe the new Garden will make us even prouder. Imagine what it will mean to Ljubljana townsmen to behold a cow - oh yes, a cow! - and a lion on one side of Večna pot and and on the other Blagay's daphne or a cactus known for its nocturnal bloom as the Queen of the Night, to be able to spends the whole day long among animal cages and greenhouses, in natural and suitably co-naturally designed environment where the known native world will be viewed side by side with scenes from other parts of the world. However, let me finish without delay - I have only just realized that I must sound like a candidate on some election campaign who is making his very best of the last seconds available before the beginning of pre-election silence. So let me speak no more!

My jury duty a few weeks ago?
I've already spent it in my mind 22 times. But if my dream house savings account doesn't win, I might squander it toward this.
That dress is adorable! I just may have to put it on my wish list.
Oh goodness, Eva, I stay off of Etsy most days because of that very temptation :). Although I've never actually bought anything, it's a major time waster for me to browse.
Maybe 10 pounds from now :). I need the incentive.

Med språkskatt menas i nationalekonomiska och språkpolitiska sammanhang en finansiell ersättning som är tänkt att betalas av länder eller språkgemenskaper som kompensation för den ekonomiska nytta som de har av att andra lär sig deras språk och använder dem. Språkskatten är tänkt att kompensera de språkgemenskaper vars språk används i mindre utsträckning för de större kostnader som de har för språkundervisning och översättning och, om fullständig rättvisa eftersträvs, även för den tid som går åt för inlärningen av främmande språk och för den ökade ansträngning som deras användning innebär.

Någon finansiell ersättning av detta slag förekommer inte för närvarande, utan medlemmarna av de större språkgemenskaperna, i global skala främst de engelskspråkiga, delar på frukterna av de andras mödor utan att behöva göra rätt för sig. Problemet skulle kunna lösas på ett globalekonomiskt fördelaktigt sätt genom användandet av ett lättlärt och lättanvänt konstruerat internationellt hjälpspråk. Med en språkskatt skulle man i princip kunna åstadkomma samma rättvisa, även om användandet av nationella språk för mellanfolklig kommunikation globalt sett är mera mödosam.

Alternativet ''språkskatt'' har föreslagits ett flertal gånger, bland andra av den US-amerikanske politologen Jonathan Pool , som främst tänkte på undervisningskostnaderna och av den belgiske filosofen och ekonomen Philippe Van Parijs , som påpekade att hela kostnaden för andraspråksbruket bör tas med i beräkningen.

Den schweiziske nationalekonomen François Grin använde begreppet impôt linguistique 'språkskatt' i omvänd bemärkelse. Enligt Grins resonemang betalar de språkgemenskaper vars språk används i mindre utsträckning en skatt i form av obetalt arbete till dem vars språk används i större utsträckning. Grin beräknade att Storbritannien i en jämförelse med Frankrike varje år besparas ca. 6 miljarder euro i undervisningskostnader på grund av engelskans förhärskande ställning. På liknande sätt talar det italienska radikala partiet Partito Radicale om en tassa inglese 'engelskskatt'.

Honoré de Balzac (20. maj 1799 - 18. august 1850) var en fransk forfatter af romaner og noveller. Han er en vigtig repræsentant for den første store generation af franske romanforfattere sammen med Victor Hugo, Prosper Mérimée, Alexandre Dumas den ældre, Stendhal og George Sand.

Mange af Balzacs historier er samlet i den helhed, han kaldte La Comédie humaine (Den menneskelige komedie). En titel inspireret af Dantes Den guddommelige komedie. Han skildrer det franske samfund og klassekampen, her i de første fire årtier af 1800-tallet. En kamp mellem adelen, hvis magt var for nedadgående, og borgerstanden, hvis magt var for opadgående. Endvidere skildres kunstnerne og intellektuelle uden for selskabet og masserne, der er baggrund for fortællingerne.

Centralt i fortællingerne står finansmanden, og omdrejningspunktet er penge. La Comédie humaine kan både opfattes som et netværk af romaner og som ét eneste romanværk, der skildrer hele det franske samfund. Personerne dukker ofte op i flere forskellige romaner.

Balzacs værker stod på Index librorum prohibitorum, den romerskkatolske kirkes liste over forbudte bøger, som følge af hans meget realistiske skildringer af præster og promiskuitet.

Lancaster NX611 'Just Jane' – Major Announcement
July 15, 2021 Editor Warbird Restorations 0
Lancaster B.VII NX611 Just Jane in her hangar at East Kirkby just received a major boost to her restoration from an overseas delivery... check out the latest report for details!
As our regular readers know well, Avro Lancaster B.VII NX611 Just Jane is undergoing rebuild to airworthy condition with the Lincoln Aviation Heritage Center (LAHC) at former RAF East Kirkby in Lincolnshire, England. While we just reported on the deal which the LAHC worked out with the South Yorkshire Air Museum regarding the rear fuselage of Lancaster B.X KB976, they have followed this announcement with an even more significant arrangement. They will be collaborating with les Ailes Anciennes, the team restoring Lancaster B.VII NX664, a sister-ship to Just Jane, at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in the suburbs of Paris, France. We felt our readers would love to see Andrew Panton's report on these details, reproduced here with permission…
MAJOR RESTORATION ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We have some very special news for you!
Over the last two years, we have been working with les Ailes Anciennes at le Bourget in France to create a plan which can help both Just Jane and Lancaster B.VII NX644, which the French team is restoring. NX664 rolled off the same production line, just a few dozen places after NX611, at the Austin Motor Company satellite plant in Longbridge, Birmingham. She is currently under restoration with les Ailes Anciennes at le Bourget near Paris, France.
As you know, we can typically only perform major restoration work on NX611 during the winter periods each year since the aircraft must be in taxiable condition during the summer season to help raise the funds we need for her continued restoration. Due to this schedule, there are various restoration tasks which we know cannot be completed within any particular six month, off-season period; the biggest of these tasks involving the wings, of course.
As a result, we have been networking with many of the Lancaster groups/owners around the world to find cooperative areas of mutual benefit, as you will have seen from our recent dealings with the South Yorkshire Air Museum and the rear fuselage of KB976. Through these conversations, we have developed a plan to help both les Ailes Anciennes in France and ourselves.
While les Ailes Anciennes has made great progress with NX664's fuselage, they have yet to tackle the aircraft's wings – so here is the plan we have conceived to assist each team. We will borrow NX664's outer wings, one at a time, and bring them to LAHC. We will start with NX664's port wing, first building a jig to mount it in and then restoring it into a taxiable condition. Once this wing is ready, we will swap it out for NX611's port outer-wing to allow Just Jane to continue her taxi-runs over the following season. NX611's port outer wing can then take its turn in the jig and undergo restoration to airworthy condition. This means that we can work on the wing for a full twelve month period without having to stop and start.
Once NX611's port wing is finished, it will go back on the airframe, at which point we can return NX664's port wing to France and repeat the same process with the starboard outer wing in a similar fashion. We are expecting this to be a 4 year plan and it certainly presents the biggest and most complex aspect of the whole project. While all the wing project is underway, we will still be restoring the rear fuselages for KB976 and NX611, hopefully making up the time we lost due to COVID, so that the restoration as a whole will still meet our 10 year plan to have Just Jane back in the air.
This wing project has huge benefits for NX611, as we can get a jig made without disrupting the taxy run season. We can also learn a lot about the wing and the best methods for working on it before we even attempt the airworthy restoration for NX611, and furthermore, we can have a full, 12 month period working on each wing, making the restoration proceed much more efficiently. The added benefit to the warbird world and all those whom love the Lancaster is that another example will get her wings refurbished as well – so what's not to like!
There is just one problem, however. Since we will be running the wing project alongside the rest of the restoration, we will need to raise an additional £500,000 over the next four years to fund the additional effort. To help manage this target, we have started a Gofundme campaign so that anyone can donate to the project and we can spread the news about this huge step forward.
Just Jane's GoFundMe WINGS DONATION LINK
We would be so grateful for any support you can give us whether it be financial or by sharing the link for the campaign on social media, over the internet and/or by word of mouth.

Or you can donate online, but please note that it is for the WINGS FUND HERE
This is the single best opportunity we have to take a huge step forward with NX611's restoration to airworthy condition. I cannot over stress how exciting and important this step is!
What's more, we've already started! The first wing has already arrived and you can see photos of the delivery below. Special thanks must go to Welch's Transport who moved the wing for us – the had to spend 65 hours in customs at Calais before receiving clearance to proceed to the UK.
Stay safe and thanks for your support!

NX664's left outer wing arriving at East Kirkby. Note the original all-white paint dating back to the aircraft's time as WU-21 within the Aéronavale's Escadrille 9S in New Caledonia. NX611 served in this same squadron. NX664 had an accident on Wallis Island during the early 1960s and sat abandoned there until May, 1984, when les Ailes Anciennes orchestrated her recovery back to France. While the Musee de l'Air allows les Ailes Anciennes hangarage to perform the restoration, they contribute no funds towards it. Once completed, however, the aircraft will go on display within the museum, however. (image via Andrew Panton)

That's all for this particular update. We hope that you have enjoyed reading it. As can be seen, a lot of work remains to be done, but the aircraft is well on the way back to flying condition. It is being done in a methodical and careful manner in order to keep the aircraft available for ground-running operations during the summer months.

-IM offers a package of SAP Good Movement BAPIs to read, update or create Material Document. Usually, the relative SAP Good Movement BAPI for Good Movement start with BAPI_GOODSMVT_*.
Let's start with SAP Good Movement BAPI to create a Material Document.
The BAPI to consider is BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. This BAPI will post goods movements.
Within BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE there is a call to the standard function module MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT which generate the SAP Material Doument.
Here ABAP code showing how to create in ABAP program a SAP Material Document with the Standard BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
PS: This code is not mine, check the source here. You can use as a template for your ABAP Program using this SAP BAPI.
* Structures for BAPI data: gm_header type bapi2017_gm_head_01, gm_code type bapi2017_gm_code, gm_headret type bapi2017_gm_head_ret, gm_item type table of bapi2017_gm_item_create with header line. data: gm_return type bapiret2 occurs 0. data: gm_retmtd type bapi2017_gm_head_ret-mat_doc. clear: gm_return, gm_retmtd. refresh gm_return. * Setup BAPI header data. gm_header-pstng_date = sy-datum. gm_header-doc_date = sy-datum. gm_code-gm_code = '06'.

You can find an other sample ABAP program reading a file and creating SAP Material Document for each line of the file here.
A common business case (for example in SAP PM Plant Management or SAP QM for Quality Management), you may have to create document material in SAP not for the material itself but for Equipment.
The same SAP BAPI situed above BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE can make the job.
You have just to fill the table GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER with list of Equipments.
In order to reverse Goods Movements, use the standard BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CANCEL. This SAP BAPI will call in its processing the fm MB_CANCEL_GOODS_MOVEMENT responsible to cancelling an existing SAP Good Movement.
You can cancel the whole Good Movement as you can partially can the Material Document.
Don't forget to call a 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' to commit modification to Database.
The BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETDETAIL will display Details for Material Document.
It is very helpful if you want to get a quick overview ( in ABAP ) of the Material Document.
The BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS will display a detailed List of Material Documents.


The joint head coaches at Northallerton, Jeff and Dave, share the same vision on coaching at the club that is to make squash and/or Racket Ball accessible and enjoyable to all who decide to play the game, be they experienced players who want to improve their game, or beginners and improvers who want to develop into more accomplished players.
You will see from their individual Bio's that both coaches have spent many years in sport and therefore bring knowledge and a wider experience to bear into their coaching styles and application.
Developing a positive mindset is part of the coaching ethos and these psychological techniques can also benefit life outside of sport.
Additionally, both are passionate about the development of Sport with young people as a vehicle towards a healthier way of life but also as a means to meet people, travel and challenge themselves to be the best they can be should they choose to do so.
To help achieve this, junior (5 – 19) coaching sessions are presently run on a Tuesday evening from 17.00 till 18.00 and only cost £1 per person to cover the expenses.
Both coaches have the shared objective to place 4 young players into the County game and 1 into the National system by 2015. Of course, both would also be happy to achieve this for new/current players of any age!
Coaching not only develops specific aspects of the game like racket and feet position but also aspects of endurance and agility which are paramount to playing at optimum levels. This has the added benefit of improving overall levels of fitness for people who just want to get fitter or lose a few pounds in a social environment where achieving these benefits is also fun!
So, what are you waiting for, sign up and start enjoying either Squash or Racket Ball (or both!) and improving your level of fitness!
Coaching sessions can be tailored to meet specific requirements and more general sessions will be running on a regular basis, please watch the website for specific events or contact Jeff or Dave who will both be happy to discuss your requirements.

Q: Shell one-liner for adding a line in the middle of a pipe I write a script which sends the input file to CPP, then to grep, then to a certain program:
cpp $1 | grep -v "#" | theprogram

But, "theprogram" requires the input to start with a certain constant line "theprogram-1.0". So, I want to prepend that constant line to the output of grep, just before it is sent to "theprogram".
Of course, I can do all this using a temporary file... but I am sure there is a way to do such a simple task in a single line of shell pipes, without temporary files. What is the trick?

A: You can surround a sequence of commands with parentheses. Each command inside the parentheses will have access to the same stdin, stdout, and stderr. Here, echo will send to stdout but will not alter the stdin that grep sees.
cpp $1 | (echo 'your constant line here'; grep -v "#") | theprogram

As described in Shell command language: grouping commands, one can use braces instead of parentheses for grouping. Using braces is slightly more efficient, since a subshell won't be created, but it presents more complicated syntax: there needs to be a field separator after the {, and a delimiter such as ; or newline before the }. But several people have suggested it as an alternative, so here it is:
cpp $1 | { echo 'your constant line here'; grep -v "#"; } | theprogram

Province Planning to Vaccinate 8.5 Million People Starting in March
More from Local News
Wednesday, January 13th, 2021 1:32pm
The Province of Ontario is planning to immunize up to 8.5 million people with phase two of the Governments vaccine implementation plan.
ONTARIO - The Province of Ontario is planning to immunize up to 8.5 million people with phase two of the Governments vaccine implementation plan.
Premier Doug Ford says they're ready to expand the vaccine rollout, as soon as they get the supplies.
"With Phase One of our plan well underway, we're getting ready to expand our vaccine rollout and get more needles into arms as soon as the supply is available. We now have a well-oiled machine, led by General Hillier, and we are making tremendous progress. We know this second phase will be an even larger logistical undertaking than the first. That's why we're ramping up our capacity on the ground to ensure these vaccines are administered quickly, beginning with the people who need them most."
Phase one will see about 1.5 million people vaccinated, including all staff and residents at long-term care homes in the four hardest hit areas, Toronto, Peel, York and Windsor-Essex.
The earliest people will get vaccinated in phase 2 is March of this year. The vaccines will be distributed to eligible groups as follows:
- Older adults, beginning with those 80 years of age and older and decreasing in five-year increments over the course of the vaccine rollout;
- Individuals living and working in high-risk congregate settings;
- Frontline essential workers (e.g., first responders, teachers, food processing industry); and
- Individuals with high-risk chronic conditions and their caregivers.
The Premier also talked about the stay at home orders that will start on Thursday. Ford says everyone will need to stay home, it's the law.
"You must, I'm going to repeat that, you must stay home, it's the law and it will be enforced. I know that essential, means different things to different people. We have 15 million people in Ontario, each with their own individual circumstances. If you are not sure, if a trip is absolutely essential, it probably isn't."
You can listen to the Premiers full comments from this morning below:

Didn't get to see much of you this time, but until next time, Sydney!
Remember that you're still young – if ever there's a good time to make and learn from your mistakes, it's now.
Remember that youth is now your currency.
Remember it's not as if God can't bless you just because you made a "wrong" move.
Remember what your mentor told you: God is a loving Father who lets you run, play, and explore freely as long as it's safe. That's how you learn from the booboos you get from tiny falls.
Remember that God's will is not a hit-or-miss bull's eye; you don't need to be fixated on whether or not you're living in it as long as you're living according to His ways.
Remember when you were fretting over whether or not you'd have a future if you switched majors from Psychology to Sociology, and it turned out to be the best decision you made in Uni.
Remember when you were deciding if you should drop H2 Math in an Asian country where 'Math is the most important subject', and God revealed to you in an evening run that He is a God who allows U-turns and detours – you'll get to your destination in the end.
Remember that if you never tried, you'd always be living with the question of 'what if'.

Semi driver killed in Dane County highway crash
Don Behm
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
A 52-year-old Wisconsin Rapids man died Saturday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash on Highway 18/151 at Sand Rock Road in Dane County, the Wisconsin State Patrol said in a news release.
The man was driving a semitrailer truck westbound on the highway around 1:25 p.m. Saturday when the vehicle swerved off the road, crossed the median and jackknifed, authorities said. The semitrailer truck then crossed the eastbound lanes and dropped into a ditch, where it rolled onto its side.
A Med-Flight helicopter transported the driver to University Hospital in Madison, where he later died.
The man's name is being withheld pending notification of family.

Центральна долина Чилі ( або Zona Central) — долина, розташована між Чилійським прибережним хребтом та головним хребтом Анд.
Центральна долина Чилі простягається від кордону з Перу до Пуерто-Монтт на півдні Чилі з помітною перервою у Норте-Чико (27°20'–33°00' S).
На південь від Пуерто-Монтт долина має продовження у вигляді низки морських басейнів аж до перешийка . Деякі найбільші міста Чилі розташовані у долині: Сантьяго, Темуко, Ранкагуа, Талька і Чильян.

Північна секція (18°30'–27°20' S)

На крайній півночі Чилі центральна долина складається з Пампітас, серії невеликих рівнин, розчленованих глибокими долинами.

Безпосередньо на південь від Пампітас, у регіоні Тарапака та на північ від регіону Антофагаста, Центральна долина відома як Пампа-дель-Тамаругаль

На відміну від Пампітас, долини, що спускаються з Анд, не розрізають рівнину, а зливаються з поверхнею Пампа-дель-Тамаругаль на висоті близько 1500 м.

Найзахідніша частина Пампа-дель-Тамаругаль має висоту 600 м та містить пампаси та солончаки.

Басейни є важливими коридорами для зв'язку та транспорту на півночі Чилі.

На південь від річки Лоа долина продовжується, обмежена  зі сходу, поки не закінчується на широті Тальталя (25°17' S). Він знову з'являється біля Чаньараля (26°20' S) як ізольований басейн, оточений горами та пагорбами.

Цей басейн завдовжки 250 км та завширшки до 70 км називається Пампа-Ондулада або Пампа-Австрал.

Оскільки Пампа Ондулада зникає біля річки Копіапо  (27°20' S)
у регіоні Норте-Чико, на південь від цієї річки, не є Центральної долини, лише декілька вузьких западин з півночі на південь, які збігаються з геологічними розломами.

У північній частині Центральної долини рослинність надзвичайно мізерна через умови надзвичайної посушливості пустелі Атакама.
Лише на півдні з'являється Чилійський маторраль.
Північну частину маторалі складає асоціація Nolana leptophylla–Cistanthe salsoloides, а південну половину – асоціація Skytanthus acutus–Atriplex deserticola.

Центральна секція (33°00'–41°30' S)

Основна частина Центральної долини простягається від Тільтіля  (33°05' S) поблизу Сантьяго до Темуко (38°45' S).

Прибережний хребет і Анди майже зливаються в двох місцях: одне між Сантьяго і Ранкагуа, а інше між Сан-Фернандо і Ренго.

Через що Центральна долина представлена двома меншими басейнами на півночі: басейном Сантьяго і басейном Ранкагуа.

Долина тягнеться безперервно 360 км від Ангостура-де-Пелекуен на півночі до річки Біо-Біо (37°40' S) на півдні.

Завширшки від 12 км у Моліні (35°05' S) на півночі до 74 км на півдні в районі Лаха (37°15' S), рельєф є мало горбистим.

Конгломерати Андійського походження займають великі ділянки Центральної долини, рідше зустрічаються на заході поблизу Прибережного хребта.
Іноді долина мають окремі пагорби та гори, що складаються з останцевих скель.

На широті Темуко Прибережний хребет занурюється до такої міри, що Центральна долина зливається з прибережними рівнинами.

За 110 км між Горбеа і Пайльяко (c. 39–40° S) Центральна долина не існує, оскільки натомість регіон перетинає низка гірських хребтів зі сходу на захід і широких річкових долин.

На південь від цього регіону Центральна долина знову з'являється, на ній розташовані Осорно і Пуерто-Монт (41°30' S).

Довжина цієї південної ділянки з півночі на південь становить 190 км.

Центральна долина на південь від річки Біо-Біо зазнала впливу вулканізму та минулого зледеніння, що призвело до виникнення  та морен, що мають розповсюдження у долині.

Природна рослинність центральної ділянки змінюється з півночі на південь. Меншою мірою рослинність також змінюється до передгір'їв Анд та Чилійського прибережного хребта. Від Сантьяго до Лінареса домінують рідколісся Acacia caven.

У Ньюблейському регіоні домінують два типи склерофітної рослинності: Lithrea caustica–Peumus boldus та Quillaja saponiana–Fabiana imbricata.

На південь від річки Біо Біо домінує Nothofagus obliqua..
Лише околиці озера Янкіуе та район Пуерто-Монтт є винятком, де відповідно домінують Nothofagus dombeyi–Eucryphia cordifolia та Nothofagus nitida–Podocarpus nubigena

Південні морські басейни (41°30'–46°50' S)

На південь від Пуерто-Монтта продовження Центральної долини представлено низкою морських басейнів, а саме: протока Релонкаві, Анкудська затока і затоку Корковадо, що відокремлюють острів Чилое від материка.

Далі на південь долина проходить у вигляді вузького каналу Мораледа.
Тут долина представлена численними невеликими островами, а також східним узбережжям острова Чилое та півостровом Тайтао на схід від озера  та перешийком Офкі. (46°50' S).

Washington County enacted a ban on all sales of flavored tobacco products in late 2021. Now, state legislators are pursuing a statewide ban on such products in a newly introduced bill (PMG).
Bill seeks to ban flavored tobacco sales across Oregon
by: Troy Shinn, Portland Tribune
The Portland Tribune is a KOIN 6 News media partner.
PORTLAND, Ore. (Portland Tribune) — A bipartisan bill in the Oregon Legislature would enact a statewide ban on flavored tobacco and nicotine products — a step that the Washington County Board of Commissioners hoped for when it enacted a similar ban in late 2021.
HB 3090, introduced in the young 2023 legislative session by Rep. Lisa Reynolds, an Oak Hills Democrat, would end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including menthol products, statewide. The bill is also sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Steiner, D-Portland, and Bill Hansell, R-Athena, as well as and Rep. Hai Pham, D-Hillsboro.

Washington County enacted a ban on such sales in late 2021, with Commissioner Nafisa Fai, who championed the ordinance, saying she hoped the county would set a trend for the rest of the state to follow.
She said the newly introduced bill is a step in the right direction.
"It's a good sign, and I think Washington County was a good role model to kind of nudge the state," Fai said. "I'm glad to see our legislators brought forward a ban statewide, and I'm interested in seeing how Washington County can continue playing a role in supporting (them) to pass this."
Last year, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners enacted a similar ban on flavored tobacco and nicotine product sales.
But the bans have seen legal challenges since.
In Washington County, a group opposed to the ordinance referred the question to county voters of whether to keep the ban in place. Voters resoundingly approved of keeping the ban in place, with nearly 76% of the vote.

Later in the year, a circuit court judge struck down the ban and said that the county lacked the authority to enforce it, after a group of tobacco lounges sued the county in early 2022.

Washington County appealed that ruling to the Oregon Court of Appeals.
But that legal battle might become moot if the Oregon Legislature ends up passing a statewide ban this year.
Judge Andrew Erwin wrote in his judgment against the county's ban that the authority to enact it rested with state lawmakers, since it's a state regulatory system that grants flavored tobacco merchants their licenses to sell these products.
"Certainly, the county has broad power to regulate how sales are made, but they cannot bar them entirely," Erwin wrote in his September decision letter.
The American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network has been a driving force behind all these bans, saying that flavored products hook minors on nicotine and contribute to more smokers, and therefore more cancer, in society.
"With a new year and new legislative session comes a new opportunity for Oregon lawmakers to prioritize the health of Oregonians over tobacco industry interests and bottom line," said ACS CAN director of government relations in Oregon, Jamie Dunphy, in a press release about the new state bill. "Ending the sale of menthol cigarettes and all other flavored tobacco products would be a huge step in that direction."

Fai said she spoke with Steiner and thinks Washington County's ordinance will act as a sort of blueprint for crafting this legislation.
Many of the people with whom Fai worked on the language of Washington County's ban are also working on the state bill, Fai said.
"From what I understand, it's being modeled after a lot of the language we used in our ordinance," Fai said. "It's going to be best-practices-based … so, I think it's fair to say that it will have a lot of the same language."
As to whether Washington County will continue to pursue an appeal of Erwin's ruling, Fai said the board would take the advice of the county's legal counsel, Tom Carr.
"If it's unnecessary to keep the court battle going and waste taxpayers' money, then it's not in the best interest of Washington County, and we'd certainly drop it," Fai said. "But we're not law experts … and I think we'll take the direction he presents."

She also noted that legislative bills can change throughout the committee process, so if the state law ends up being a different ban than Washington County desires, the board may push for local laws that further restrict sales, or they may push for complimentary legislation from the state.
"At this point, I think the state bill will mimic Washington County's ordinance," Fai said. "And if it doesn't, we'll keep fighting for Washington County residents and bring forward legislation that keeps protecting our county residents."
