Article: "Why the GCC Needs to Adopt Economic Policy Experimentation"
From the days of antiquity, through to the middle of the twentieth century, economics was largely a deductive and narrative discipline. The leading contributions were dense treatises hundreds of pages in length, with scarcely a number or equation in sight.
On Wednesday, Uber announced that Saudi Arabia invested $3.5 billion in the company, valuing it at $62.5 billion. With that money comes a board seat for Yasir Al Rumayyan, the managing director of the country's Public Investment Fund—and maybe a new kind of economy for Saudi Arabia.


Renting a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days or purchasing the machine with the 45 day return option is essential.
Almost all current QuickGym / ROM machine owners have first rented their QuickGym / ROM machines for a 30 day test period before buying it. Over 97% of people who rent a QuickGym / ROM machine for a 30 day test period become QuickGym / ROM machine owners.
To get to the point of renting a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days it takes a leap of faith. It is very difficult to believe in all those very controversial claims we make about the QuickGym / ROM machine. Most of it flies in the face of all conventional belief about exercise physiology. We will do our best to help you take that leap of faith to rent a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days. But most of the work to educate yourself and persuade yourself and answer your questions has to be done by you by reading our literature, watching the DVD and understanding the mechanics and physiology behind the machine. Most of the answers to your questions are here in the pages of this website and if you cannot find the answers to your questions please call us.
The biggest marketing problem is "experts"
Since 1990, the biggest marketing problem we have had is that almost all so called "exercise experts", who know nothing about our QuickGym / ROM machine and have never tried a 4 minute QuickGym / ROM machine workout, will happily declare that a 4 minute complete workout is absolutely impossible and that it flies in the face of everything they believe in and have learned. The same "experts" become immediate believers after only a single 4 minute QuickGym / ROM machine workout.
Most people who become somewhat convinced about the possibility of a highly effective 4 minute workout will wish to obtain the opinion of an "expert" before they might take this leap of faith and the "experts" in turn immediately kill a sale for us and deprive the potential customer from purchasing the most efficient lifelong health improvement and health maintenance tool.
This problem with experts is not new. It happens to every novel idea entering a realm of science or belief. Even Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the father of aerobics, faced an uphill battle when he first opened his Cooper Clinic in 1970. A few months after opening he was called before the board of censors of the Dallas County Medical Society. His ideas for combining preventative, diagnostics and acute medicine were very controversial. At the time, his critics doubted that exercise reduced the risk of disease. Nowadays, that idea is part of conventional wisdom. And we are now facing the same doubts, that the QuickGym / ROM machine can provide a complete workout in a mere 4 minutes.
Back in 1990, when we started making and selling the QuickGym / ROM machine machine in Southern California, many of the people who were interested in our QuickGym / ROM machine machine would ask whether they could visit owners of QuickGym / ROM machine machines to ask their opinion about it. We tried to persuade owners of QuickGym / ROM machine machines to be so kind to speak to these interested parties and maybe let them try their QuickGym / ROM machine machine. It was a very awkward process and dissatisfying for the QuickGym / ROM machine owners as well.
QuickGym / ROM machine owners are very happy with the health and fitness results they receive from only 4 minutes of exercise per day. Maybe they seemed too happy in their enthusiasm to help people overcome skepticism. Most of these QuickGym / ROM machine owners that were so kind to allow people to come try the QuickGym / ROM machine or just talking to them over the phone became very frustrated that only 20% or so of the people they tried to help actually wound up buying a QuickGym / ROM machine. So they felt that they let 80% of them down by not having been able to persuade those prospective QuickGym / ROM machine customers to invest in their own health by purchasing a QuickGym / ROM machine. For us as the manufacturers it was also a bit awkward to have to ask these QuickGym / ROM machine owners for favors all the time. It was like asking owners of Sealy Posturepedic Mattresses to let strangers come over to their home to talk about and try out their mattress. That is when we got the idea to allow people to rent a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days to try it out.
We started the rental option in 1991, at first only in Southern California to see how it would work. It worked so well that we expanded it in 1992 to all of California, Arizona and Nevada. That same year we expanded the rental option to all the contiguous 48 States and in 1994 we expanded again to all 50 US States and all of Canada (there are some exceptions for especially remote places in Alaska and Canada). Over 97% of people who rent a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days buy it at the end of the 30 day trial rental period. The full rental deposit applies to the purchase price. We ship brand new, fresh off the assembly line, QuickGym / ROM machines.
The QuickGym / ROM machine delivers all three of these in a single short 4 minute exercise routine that can be done by people of all ages and different levels of health and fitness, from the very weak to highly trained athletes.
A 4 minute per day complete exercise flies in the face of all conventional wisdom. So it does take a leap of faith to take the first step of ordering our free video and literature.
After receiving our free video and literature, only 3 out of 10 people both view the video and read our literature. Those who fail to watch the video and read the literature are not very likely to purchase a QuickGym / ROM machine. It takes a small amount of discipline to both watch the video and thoroughly read the literature.
After reading the literature and viewing our video, it takes another leap of faith to order a 30 day rental. The vast majority (97%) of those who rent a QuickGym / ROM machine for 30 days become QuickGym / ROM machine owners.
The QuickGym / ROM machine is very expensive in terms of money but it is very inexpensive in terms of time investment. The great expense in time required for conventional exercise programs keeps 92% of people from exercising. They slowly and gradually lose their health as a result of this lack of exercise. The short 4 minutes per day of QuickGym / ROM machine exercise is very manageable for the 92% of us who lack the time and discipline to do hours of exercise per week. We can not dictate to people how much their health is worth; that is a personal decision. We only know that illness is vastly more expensive than preventive health maintenance with the QuickGym / ROM machine.
If the delivery address is within the 48 contiguous states. Trial Period: 30 days Deposit Required: $2,500 plus tax (if applicable). Full $2,500 applies to the purchase price. In the (rare) event that you would like to return the QuickGym / ROM machine, $1,000 will be refunded.
If the delivery address is in Alaska/Hawaii/Canada. Trial Period: 30 days Deposit Required: $3,500. Full $3,500 applies to the purchase price. In the (rare) event that you would like to return the QuickGym / ROM machine, $1,000 will be refunded.
The 30 day rental applies to the purchase price.

La chiesa di San Rocco è il luogo di culto cattolico  di Cava de' Tirreni.

Storia
L'edificio di culto fu costruito per volontà dell'amministrazione Comunale di Cava l'11 agosto 1526 in occasione di una pestilenza. Fu eretto poi nel 1528 e dedicato alla Madonna di Costantinopoli, e ai santi Rocco e Sebastiano, i santi protettori degli appestati. Sulla porta fu murata una lapide con questo distico commemorativo: "Proxima dum diri expellis contagia morbi Roche tuas aedes instruit alma Cava".

La chiesa necessitò di un primo restauro nel 1610 con la posa dell'altare in marmo offerto dal monsignor Domenico Sorrentino. Nel 1743 fu eseguito un nuovo restauro, sempre a spese dei fedeli. Fu decorata con stucchi interni secondo il gusto dell'epoca e forse, durante questi lavori, furono aggiunti i due altari laterali.
Nel 1857 si costruirono la cantoria, posta sopra il porticato, e l'organo, con le offerte pubbliche. Sull'organo erano state incise le parole: "Fideles obtulerunt MDCCC VII". Nel 1864 la chiesa fu di nuovo restaurata, a testimonianza sull'arco maggiore fu posta l'epigrafe: "Ecclesia S.Rocho dicata MDCCXLIII, pietate fìdelium restaurata anno Domini MDCCCLXIV".
Dopo il colera del 1911 venne ridipinta e ornata di una balaustra in legno e alla precedente iscrizione fu sostituita la seguente:
"D. Rocho dicata ecclesia collatie fidelium stipe grati animi causa A.D. MCMXI restaurata".

Alla dotazione dell'altare maggiore provvide il vescovo Niccolò Borgia. Egli vi destinò alcuni beni del seminario, tra i quali la palazzina adiacente alla chiesa, restaurata a spese del seminario. Sorse così una cappellina quotidiana di patronato del seminario. Alla dotazione dell'altare dell'Immacolata provvide la famiglia Adinolfi, che vi acquistò patronato e sepoltura. I medesimi diritti li acquistò la famiglia Armenante, oggi famiglia Guerritore.
Dopo l'incameramento dei beni del seminario, la chiesa di San Rocco fu governata da un rettore di nomina vescovile. Quando fu fondata la parrocchia di Sant'Adiutore, la chiesa di San Rocco ne divenne succursale.

Nel 1901 la congregazione di san Luigi chiese al vescovo di passare l'intitolazione dalla chiesa da san Vito a quella nuova di san Rocco. Ne ebbe facoltà per tre anni, ma con alcune riserve.
Nel 1923 furono eseguiti lavori radicali alla sagrestia e al tetto.
I fedeli del rione Ferrovia, che nutrivano profonda devozione a san Rocco e a santa Rita da Cascia, ivi parimenti venerata, elargirono grosse offerte.
In meno di un mese fu rifatto il pavimento e l'impianto elettrico; furono decorate le pareti con eleganza e sobrietà; furono rimessi a nuovo le suppellettili e tutti gli arredi sacri.

Descrizione
L'edificio di culto è posto in posizione centrale della parte storica della località campana, e si presenta con la facciata eclettica che si sviluppa su due ordini; in quello inferiore il porticato chiuso da una cancellata precede i tre ingressi. La cancellata fu collocata nel 1865 per volontà dell'amministrazione comunale vedendo che lo sviluppo urbanistico della città stava bloccando l'ingresso della chiesa stessa. La parte superiore ha centrale, un quadrato in marmo con un rosone atto a illuminare l'aula interna e terminante con il tetto a capanna. Il fabbricato si collega a destra con una stradina secondaria, mentre la parte sinistra prosegue con il fabbricato contiguo.

L'unica navata della chiesa non presenta ricche decorazioni se non nell'arco trionfale, nell'endonartece, nelle due arcate degli altari laterali, e nell'arco centinato della cantoria, in travertino alternato alla pietra grigia creando fasce bicromatiche.

Durante la seconda guerra mondiale la chiesa fu colpita in pieno dalle bombe durante le terribili giornate del settembre 1943. Crollò il tetto e l'interno perdette bellezza e decoro.
Dopo anni di attesa furono eseguiti i lavori di ripristino, in un sobrio stile romanico, e la chiesa è tornata a imporsi all'ammirazione dei fedeli.
In fondo all'abside è stata sistemata una suggestiva delicata riproduzione del Crocifisso di Cimabue, quello che è conservato nel museo di Santa Croce in Firenze, opera realizzata dal pittore cavese Matteo Apicella.

6 Minutes To Skinny Review: A Highly Subtle Scam!
You are here: Home / Blog / 6 Minutes To Skinny Review: A Highly Subtle Scam!
6 Minutes To Skinny by Craig Ballantyne looks more like a very deceptive scam than a trustworthy product you should spend money on. In this review I will lay down all the facts I uncovered about this weight loss product supposedly created by one of the most recognized fitness specialists in the world. Study this review carefully because it is one of the very few unbiased reviews about this product currently online.
Created in 2014 for people over 30, 6 Minutes To Skinny promises to help you shed stubborn belly fat at a rate so fast that 'it would almost seem like cheating.' It claims to base on 'Metabolic Cycling,' which is the term used to describe the timing of your body's natural metabolic activities.
According to his personal website, Craig Ballantyne is a 'Productivity & Success Transformation Coach.' He hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Ballantyne obtained a Master of Science degree in Exercise Physiology from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, CA. This qualifies him to be a fitness coach.
Ballantyne is the owner of the popular fitness program Turbulence Training. He also mentions having a 6 Minutes to Skinny program.
Ballantyne is also an author and contributes articles to Men's Health and Women's Health magazines. He is also present on social media.
Bottom Line: Craig Ballantyne is real and qualified to give advice on weight loss workouts.
1. Ballantyne Sells 6 Minutes To Skinny For $5!
On his blog EarlyToRise.com, Craig Ballantyne clearly states that his 6 Minutes to Skinny program is a DVD that costs $5. However, the 6 Minutes to Skinny that I'm talking about costs $27.
The $5 version of 6 Minutes to Skinny payments is handled by a secure Early To Rise page, while the $27 version payments is handled by Clickbank.
This is NOT the first time I'm seeing this. In April, I alerted the world that 10-Day Smoothie Cleanse, an eBook by NY Times bestselling author J.J Smith, has been hijacked by the same scammer behind The 3-Week Diet. The impostor product currently sells at $47 on Clickbank, while the original costs $10.99 at Amazon.
Bottom Line: We are dealing with a HIJACKED 6 Minutes To Skinny Program!
All the testimonial photos featured on 6 Minutes To Skinny were taken from Turbulence Training sales page. The photos bear the same names and same testimonial statements. Even the photo of Catherine was taken from Turbulence Training. The scammer is so lazy that he didn't even bother to change their names!
Again, this is not the first time I'm seeing this. Fellow Canadian fitness coach Bruce Krahn did the same thing with his product Lean Belly Breakthrough.
This finding leads us to these questions: Which program did those people use to lose weight, 6 Minutes to Skinny or Turbulence Training? Are Turbulence Training and 6 Minutes To Skinny the same? If yes, then why are they sold separately?
I reached out to Craig through his personal website last week for some explanation, but so far, no word back.
Mind you, 6 Minutes to Skinny video went online in 2014. This is 2016, and it is still online. Besides, the precious information that is about to be to sold to a TV show is not new. It has been on the internet for a long time.
2. Pop-ups. Try to leave the page, and you'll see a pop-up blocking you. Then you are presented with the text version. Try to leave again, and another pop-up springs out. Then you are persuaded to 'test drive' the program for 30 days for just $1.
Final Conclusion: DON'T BUY 6 Minutes To Skinny. It is A SCAM!
1. 21-Day Sugar Detox. If your weight gain is caused by bad food cravings or something similar, then this program by NY Times bestselling author Diane Sanfilippo is for you. Read this review for more details.
2. Organic Total Body Reboot. If your weight gain is caused by chronic inflammation, then this program by fitness expert Thomas DeLauer may help you. Read this review for more details.
Of course, you need to see your doctor to determine the cause of your weight issues before trying these programs.

Now it is time to change your Apache configuration, to make the new project accessible to the world.
can you explain me where and how and who i must go for make the same configuration.
If you are new to lighttpd, I would recommend sticking to Apache. The more you customise the tutorial, the harder it will be for you to follow it - and it is quite involved as it is.
Once you are more experienced with symfony, you can switch to other web servers. Doing a web search for "lighttpd symfony" may well assist too.
Duplicate questions are deleted on sight around here, by the way - please post questions once only.

The discussion and debates over the possibility of free internet in India to poor have been making rounds for the last two years. Unfortunately, all the efforts and recommendations by TRAI in regards to the matter have been flushed down the drain by the Indian government.
Indian Government along with Telecom Commission, the supreme body responsible for all decisions related to telecom matters, didn't find merit in the recommendations by TRAI and shot down the proposal offering free internet in India to connect poor in remote areas and villages with the Internet.
Telecom Commission (TC) believe that considering the ridiculously declined data tariffs and strong penetration of internet in India, there is no need to kick-off a project aiming to offer free internet to poor in India.
TRAI proposed to set up 'data aggregators' to offer free internet to poor in remote areas and villages in India through telco-agnostic schemes in a non-discriminatory manner. The Regulator proposed that poor in India would be entitled to 100MB free internet data every month from data aggregators. The regulatory body also clarified in its proposal that the move would be funded by Universal Fund Service (UFS) responsible for connecting people in remote areas and villages with telecom services.
"We do not want a set-up where aggregators would need to be registered or licensed out, and thereafter monitored. The TC felt that we do not need these kinds of data intermediaries operating in the market," said the secretary of Telecom Ministry.
TC believes that incentivising the data tariffs, to push the growth, during the time when the price of data and voice service in India is already the lowest in the world is not required.
The decision may appear disappointing to many, but it doesn't question the intention of the government. The ongoing Bharat Net program, which is aiming to connect 1 lakh villages with the high-speed optic fibre, is already progressing at a satisfactory rate and is funded by the government.
In December last year, the Indian government claimed that the Bharat Net program is already halfway through, and 1.61 lakh village panchayats are now connected with the broadband.
It was reported that, so far, over Rs 110 billion has already been invested in Bharat Net project by the Indian government.
However, on the other side, there are reports claiming that Bharat Net project is a derailed project as only 2.5% of 250,000 villages have been connected with broadband under the project.
The Bharat Net project has a deadline for March 31, 2019. And even if we believe on the latest figures released by the government of India on Bharat Net project, connecting all the villages with broadband still seems to be a distant dream. Free internet in India for poor may become reality one day, but the day is not going to come anytime soon.

rib fat depth, and longissimus area compared to placebo-injected pigs. Tenth rib fat depth of both placebo- and pST-injected pigs was reduced as dietary lysine increased. Longissimus area of pST-injected pigs improved as dietary lysine increased to 1.5%. The improvements in ADG, ADFI, F/G, and longissimus area of pST-injected pigs indicate that the dietary lysine requirement of growing pigs injected with 5 mg/d pST is 1.5 to 1.9%.


which was detailed in our articleHe was silmply not re-elected, states Solveig Jahnke, Head of Communications at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
The situation over the dismissal of Priit Pärn fom his duties as both teacher and Head of the Animation Department at the Estonian Academy of Arts, which was detailied in our article, caused the response of EKA representatives.
Solveig Jahnke, Head of Communications at the Estonian Academy of Arts, contacted Zippy Frames to present the EKA version of the story.
The universities in Estonia have a system of having regular elections for the positions of professors and associate professors and the elections are conducted by voting. The vote is held at the meeting of the Academy's Council, which consists of 21 members. The members can only vote FOR a candidate. Unfortunately, Priit Pärn received 5 votes out of 21.
The academy invited him to continue as the Professor Emeritus and continue teaching at the academy, but relieve him of the administrative tasks that a Head of Department must carry out on top of creative work as well as teaching.
And Jahnke concludes with EKA's highest appreciation and respect for Priit Pärn.
The reasons for this decision need to be better explained, at least to his current students, who have started protesting -the Professor Emeritus proposal by EKA seems rather to gild the bitter pill in this case.

Report – Creative Keynote: Horrible Histories The Movie
Posted on: Thursday 04 July 2019 11:07am by Helen Dugdale
Changemaker singer/songwriter Sapphire introduced tonight's keynote session with a breathtaking rendition of 'Shallow (A Star is Born)' before an impassioned plea to the audience concerning the struggles teenagers are facing when it comes to mental health issues. Her rally for change in content moderation focused in on social platform Instagram – a platform where, she argued, young people can readily access inappropriate content in contrast to the existing standards in the film and television industries.
Quintessential British humour – in the great tradition of sketch comedy.
The books aren't about history – they're about people. People make the comedy.
Write for adults and children (just leave out the swearing).
The keynote was an entertaining dive into the hilarious world of 'Horrible Histories' in its many media iterations, hosted by film critic and fan Rhianna Dhillon. The scope and reach of this beloved brand is almost unparalleled, with an unapologetic approach to providing kids with vile and gory historical facts. Laughter rang out as the movie trailer was rolled, proving the witty humour was universal amongst children and adults alike. Giving her professional insight to the comedy writing in the HH TV programmes, Caroline Norris commented that the formula that made up the books translated well into a sketch show format. The key part of maintaining and capturing the original spirit and zeitgeist of the book series, came in part from hiring adult script writers – writing as they would for adults, just without the swear words!
Giles Pilbrow highlighted that animation was also key to developing children's understanding of the show in its early phases. As a former cartoonist, he added that there was importance in visual cartoon inserts and through user testing it was concluded that children often benefit from the animated reference as a way of introducing content. That way, he commented, they don't feel lost in the narrative. It is clear, of course, that comedic inspiration is taken from British cult hits 'Monty Python' and 'Blackadder'. Dominic Brigstocke noted that many jokes within the TV series followed classic formulas that are used in the previous examples. And in thinking about comedy antecedents – also men tined the legendary 'Do Not Adjust Your Set" for the 1960's.
Author and creator Terry Deary explained his creative process by reiterating to the audience, quite proudly, "I'm not a historian." He noted that his main motivations were "an agenda of anti-disestablishment which pick the facts from the various historical versions, to tell a story." His books aren't about historic events or time periods, but actually about people. Just as sketch shows are about people, they make the comedy. Originally conceived as a hybrid history joke book, it turned out that real historic fact was often much more bizarre and disturbing than fictional concepts, which Terry found very interesting. He asked the audience why do people behave the way they do? The challenge of course, then is to measure themselves against the past.
Make sure to catch the Horrible Histories film which is launched on July 26.

Lilia Kingbird–Supporting Native Youth
MIU student Lilia Kingbird
With her mother and fellow MIU student Winona Tahdooahnippah
With her mother and siblings Ioleta and Lincoln Kingbird
Lilia Kingbird is a descendant of the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe Native Americans of Minnesota and the great Comanche Nation of Oklahoma. Although she attended public school, she grew up around the Circle of Nations boarding school for tribal children in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where her parents worked as teachers.
In 2017 she saw a video of Jim Carrey's MIU commencement speech and looked up the university at her mother's encouragement. Although she was nervous about the idea of going to college, she liked the curriculum and enrolled in January 2018. Her mother also enrolled at the same time, starting the online MBA Program.
"I had no excuses at that point; there was no reason for me not to go to school," she said. "The block system, the vegetarian meals, meditation, those were all the things I really needed in my life at the time because I was struggling and didn't know where to go."
Lilia found the Transcendental Meditation® technique helpful for dealing with previous trauma and mental health issues. "TM helped a lot with my anxiety," she said.
After spending a year on campus, Lilia is now taking her classes online while living in Wisconsin near a Chippewa tribal community. Last fall she won an essay contest sponsored by MIU ChangeMakers answering the question: How would you apply your unique gifts to transform the world?
Lilia described that, from a young age, she helped her father teach singing and developed a talent for telling stories and entertaining. But growing up around unstable families, she had witnessed and experienced addiction. Seeing children on tribal lands and reservations not having access to the same care and support as other communities receive, she became inspired to help these youth. She began speaking publicly about her challenges and how she overcame them. At MIU, she is pursuing an individualized major and plans to get a graduate degree in social work and drug and alcohol counseling.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang prediction made as Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal transfer plans
Your Arsenal morning digest on Saturday, December 25.
Aubameyang prediction made
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unlikely to play for the club again according to former Premier League striker Noel Whelan.
"Look, you never say never," Whelan told the Football Insider when asked about whether Aubameyang would play again.
"But Mikel Arteta is stubborn and a real disciplinarian and Aubameyang simply hasn't matched up to his expectations. He's shown that disrespect to the players and to the staff – and not for the first time.
"It seems unlikely he will be coming back from this one and play for Arsenal again. I think Arteta will stick to his guns. He's set the standard and when players break that trust, it's going to be very hard to win it back."
Arteta reveals transfer plans
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said it is unlikely the club will make any signings during the January transfer window, despite the Gunners' surprise top-four push.
"I don't think we are going to be able to sign players just for this short period of time," said Arteta.
"I think it's a little bit unrealistic. But we will sit down now and make the right decision if we can."
The summer transfer window saw Arsenal splash over £140 million on new arrivals, with many making a huge impact on their season so far.
A striker is seemingly high on Arteta's future wish list with Ollie Watkins, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dusan Vlahovic just three names to be linked.
Arteta slammed for Aubameyang treatment
Gabriel Agbonlahor has slammed Arteta for the punishments handed down to striker Aubameyang in recent weeks, after the player was stripped of the captaincy and told to train alone.
"Arteta has done well as a manager but I think his treatment of players can be a bit too wild for me," he told Football Insider.
"For the offence Aubameyang has committed I think he's been overly punished. It's been overkill. You'd think he'd committed a massive crime.
"But then you banish him to train on his own is massive overkill. That's crazy. It's like Arteta's on a power trip. They've been winning games so he's thought 'Ok, I'm just going to keep him out'."


Summary: Opening Administrative Matters. The Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC) Designated Federal Official (DFO), Joe Corrao, serving as moderator of this meeting, called the ASAC meeting to order at 12:02 pm Eastern time. In opening remarks, Mr. Corrao noted that public notice of this meeting, dial-in procedures, and directions to obtain a copy of the Freight Assessment System Working Group (FAS-WG) report were published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2005. Mr. Corrao summarized the agenda, outlined conference call procedures for this public teleconference meeting of ASAC, and called the roll. The list of ASAC members and public participants attending this meeting is attached at Appendix A.


Michael is a hacker who spends the majority of his time in his virtual reality "coffin" which allows him to completely immerse himself into the games he plays. He has two close friends, Bryson and Sarah, he has never met in real life but the three work together to manipulate game code to do what they want. Although the coffins allow gamers to feel as though things are actually happening to them, they have built in safeties to keep players safe. So Michael is stunned when he witnesses a girl purposefully disabling those safeties in a game and killing both her character and her real body. Shortly afterwards, Michael, Bryson and Sarah are approached by VirtuNet and asked to use their skills to hunt down the hacker responsible for several gaming deaths. At first it feels like a challenge but the three teens quickly learn that their prey has incredible powers they didn't count on which makes them want to back off. But VirtuNet makes it clear that quitting is not an option for them. There is a lot of buzz about this book, especially the twist at the end, but it didn't grab me as much as others I know. I think it is fine, but I found the game play and restarting of levels tiresome and I really wonder how much teens will like it. I think it will definitely have an audience, but is this a case of adults thinking that this is something teens will like rather than it being something teens actually like? I know that kids like to game, but does that mean they also want to read about gaming? Still, plenty of people (besides me) seem to be fond of the book.

Travis Tritt: Still '10 Feet Tall and Bulletproof'

Travis Tritt: Still '10 Feet Tall and Bulletproof' The Grammy winner to perform a rare acoustic concert at Memorial Auditorium Check out this story on timesrecordnews.com: http://wtrne.ws/2ijxMR2

Grammy Award-winner Travis Tritt attributes his longevity in the music business to his unique voice. His concert Jan. 14 at Memorial Auditorium will be an acoustic show that will feature just him and his guitar.(Photo: Contributed)
Travis Tritt was going through a divorce when he wrote "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)."
He wrote it, he said, after his second set of divorce papers arrived. He was just 22.
Like with his first divorce, there wasn't really much to fight over.
"It was a pots-and-pans divorce," Tritt said in interview material provided by AristoPR.
That's when his wife at the time started to rethink things. She suggested that maybe they should try again.
"You know, there had been way too much water that's gone under the bridge," he said, and that's when he started writing the lyrics to one of the songs that has made him a country music icon: "You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone/ Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared/ And you say you'd be happy if you could just come back home/ Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares."
"That's what I was feeling at the time," said Tritt, who will tell some of the stories behind some of those songs and will talk about his influences, his life and his music when he performs 7:30 p.m. Jan. 14 at Memorial Auditorium.
It is a rare one-man, one-guitar acoustic show, called "An Evening With Travis Tritt."
Audiences might also hear the story about the first song he ever wrote.
"It was about losing a girlfriend on the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama," he said. He thought everything between them was all good. "But as soon as we got down there, she ran off with a lifeguard."
Like all good songwriters, Tritt said his songs come from his own experiences.
"It's very hard for me to talk about specific songs because all songs I've written tend to be the things that are so in my life. … A lot of love songs or loss-of-love songs have come from either personal experience or watching friends of mine go through it."
Tritt's love of music began when he was a youngster. The Marietta, Georgia, native first started to develop an interest in music after hearing his church's Sunday school choir and would later join his church band. He was just 8 years old when he received his first guitar and taught himself how to play it. Then he started writing songs in high school.

Tritt worked at a variety of jobs before his music career would take off, from being employed at a furniture store to a supermarket and air-conditioning company.
He has since become a multiplatinum-selling artist, won two Grammy Awards and multiple Country Music Association Awards and was part of the "Class of '89," which also includes Clint Black, Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks, all big country music artists that year.
Tritt's acoustic show at Memorial Auditorium contrasts his high-energy, full-band arena shows.
"We don't just stand in one spot. We move around on stage. We try to engage the audience as much as possible, and we play nothing but just solid hits," he said, from "Here's a Quarter" to "T-R-O-U-B-L-E," "Country Club," "Sometimes She Forgets" and "Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof," to name a few.
For his rare acoustic shows, he said, "It gives me the opportunity to do things a little different than our band shows. … It's just me and a guitar. … You're really vulnerable. … You don't have anything to cover for you (if you make a mistake)."
Tritt said it's also an opportunity for him to not only showcase his hits but other artists and the songs that have influenced him. He mentions rock bands such as the Eagles and country stars such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Charlie Daniels.
He grew up, he said, on blues, bluegrass and gospel.
"It gives me an opportunity to tell some stories, how I got involved in music and where the music comes from."
With a career in music that spans almost three decades, Tritt said he has been lucky enough not just to tour with his band but to break that up with solo acoustic shows and even acting.
He played a disabled American veteran in one of his music videos, "Anymore," which led to a role in a made-for-TV movie called "Rio Diablo" with Kenny Rogers.
"He really went to bat with me with the folks at CBS Television," he said.
And he has appeared in everything from "Tales From the Crypt" to "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Diagnosis Murder."
It's something he enjoys doing, but he also likes to be on the other side of the camera. When he's on the road, he likes to spend his free time reading, watching reality outdoors shows like "Deadliest Catch" and "Swamp People," and is a news junkie, too.
People often ask him about his longevity in the business.
He attributes it to being lucky enough to have a unique voice.
"My voice didn't sound like anybody else's from the very beginning," he said, and it has kept him vital through the years.
He also has made it a point to vary what he does, from music to acting, and carving out time for his family.
"I took about two years off … from 1998-2000 to basically just stay home and be a dad," he said, and he always blocks out time in his schedule for special things. He said he never has missed a family birthday party or major holidays.
As for retiring, it isn't something he has thought much about.
"I consider myself to be extremely fortunate. … Cool things have happened to me over the years," Tritt said. "... I can't imagine ever thinking about the word retirement. … I absolutely love what I do for a living."

GAZA CITY, occupied Gaza Strip (IRIN) - Over 150,000 Palestinians in Gaza (around 10 percent of the population) are struggling without tap water as a result of the damage caused to wells, pipes and waste water facilities during the recent 22-day Israeli offensive that ended on 18 January.
"Our requests via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to the Israeli military during the conflict to allow shipments of construction materials and spare parts to repair wells and facilities damaged during the war were denied," Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) director-general Monther Shoblak told IRIN.
Many residents in the north and in Rafah have water from their taps only every four to seven days. CMWU is working to rectify the situation, Shoblak said, but is hampered by lack of supplies.
"Since the end of the war the CMWU has received three out of 80 trucks waiting to enter Gaza containing pipes and spare parts," he said, adding that Israel is obliging the utility company to provide proof — in the form of photographs of repair work — that the items received are being used for their designated purpose.
"The three trucks received by the CMWU contained only half a kilometer of piping," he said.
The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) has donated $50,000 to CMWU to begin quick repairs to the water network; ACF has paid $50,000 to local contractors to repair pipes and other infrastructure; and German government-owned development bank KFW had committed $60,000 for immediate repairs, said CMWU.
CMWU's long-term recovery plan — requiring $3.5 million and falling under the larger UN Gaza flash appeal for $613 million — covers repairs in areas that have been evacuated and will be coordinated with the rebuilding of homes.

A 33-year-old Annapolis County man charged Saturday following an alleged incident at New Glasgow hotel.
New Glasgow Regional Police have charged Jason David Bezanson of Annapolis County with second degree murder following an alleged incident at the Travel Lodge on Westville Road in New Glasgow on Friday, Sept. 7 at 2:40 a.m.
Police responded to a 911 call at the hotel and found a 39-year-old man from Annapolis County not breathing with signs of trauma in a hotel room. Emergency Health Services and New Glasgow Fire Department immediately attended and transported him to the Aberdeen Hospital with serious life threatening injuries and then airlifted to a Halifax hospital where was pronounced deceased.
As a result of an investigation, Bezanson was arrested and charged. He has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Pictou on Monday. Police say the two men were known to each other and the alleged incident was the result of a disturbance between them.
New Glasgow Regional Police, New Glasgow Regional Major Crime Unit, Pictou County Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit and New Glasgow Regional Police Forensic Identification Services continue to investigate, but confirmed they are not looking for any other suspects.

Wieszanie zdrajców – obraz olejny namalowany przez francuskiego malarza, rysownika i grafika Jana Piotra Norblina około 1794, znajdujący się w zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie.

Autorstwo obrazu przypisuje się Norblinowi, ale badacze skłaniają się również do teorii że pewne fragmenty dzieła namalował jego uczeń Aleksander Orłowski, na co wskazuje karykaturalne przedstawienie niektórych postaci z ludu, pojawiające się także w malarstwie Orłowskiego. Inni kategorycznie odrzucają autorstwo Norblina: pracy nie uwzględnia opracowany przez Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie katalog obrazów szkoły francuskiej.

Opis
Obraz przedstawia autentyczne wydarzenie w Warszawie dnia 29 września 1794 podczas insurekcji kościuszkowskiej, kiedy to na szubienicy zawisły malarskie portrety przywódców konfederacji targowickiej zawiązanej w kwietniu 1792 w Petersburgu, przeciwko Konstytucji 3 maja i reformom Sejmu Czteroletniego usprawniającym Rzeczpospolitą. Ponieważ skazani przez Sąd Najwyższy Kryminalny na karę śmierci, konfiskatę majątków, wieczną infamię i utratę pełnionych urzędów uciekli wcześniej z miasta i nie można im było wymierzyć sprawiedliwości, postanowiono zastosować znaną od średniowiecza normę prawną zwaną in effigie (pol. w obrazie). Odnosiła się do prawa, które pozwalało wykonać wymierzony wyrok na wizerunku skazanego gdy on sam zbiegł lub zmarł przed egzekucją. Sąd polecił umieszczenie w prasie ogłoszenia o poszukiwaniu portretów targowiczan do powieszenia lub wypożyczenia i skopiowania. Nie wiadomo kto podjął się namalowania wizerunków przygotowywanych na szubienicę. W przypadku nieznalezienia odpowiedniej podobizny sąd zalecił powieszenie tablicy z nazwiskiem skazanego.

Wieszanie zdrajców przedstawia moment wciągania na sznurze portretu Stanisława Szczęsnego Potockiego. Mężczyzna wchodzący na drabinę zaraz poda kolejny obraz z wizerunkiem Seweryna Rzewuskiego, a tymczasem człowiek w okularach odczytuje wyrok. Na drugim planie po prawej widać wozy z następnymi trzema obrazami, dostarczonymi właśnie przez zakonników na miejsce egzekucji – na pierwszym wozie widoczny jest portret Franciszka Ksawerego Branickiego. Wokół szubienicy zgromadził się tłum warszawiaków żądnych ukarania zdrajców Ojczyzny i spragnionych widowiska. Po lewej stronie można dostrzec stojących w równych szeregach żołnierzy 10 Regimentu Pieszego, nazywanych Działyńczykami od nazwiska dowódcy regimentu generała Ignacego Działyńskiego, który co ciekawe złożył przysięgę wierności konfederacji targowickiej.

Award for an Unpublished Manuscript
By Mark Henshaw·Fiction·Text Publishing
The Snow Kimono
'Leisurely lyricism': Mark Thomas reviews in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Listen to Mark Henshaw interviewed on Books and Arts Daily.
'Often echoes the fabulist prose of the Italian novelist Italo Calvino': Nicole Lee reviews in the Guardian.
'Agile intelligence': Peter Pierce reviews in the Australian.
Mark Henshaw's debut novel, Out of the Line of Fire, was published 26 years ago, and hailed as Australia's much-needed postmodern masterpiece. Smart, distinctive and lyrical, it was a literary exercise in intrigue. The Snow Kimono has these same hallmarks – and once again, things are not as they seem.
In 1989 Paris, retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman who claims to be his daughter. Two days later, a stranger comes knocking on his door.
Set in Paris and Japan, The Snow Kimono tells the stories of Inspector Jovert, former law professor Tadashi Omura, and his one-time friend the writer Katsuo Ikeda. All three men have lied to themselves and each other … and the lies are about to catch up with them.
In the Australian, Peter Pierce writes that 'with agile intelligence, with boldness in what he has imagined and tight control over how it is developed, Henshaw has announced triumphantly that he is no longer a ghost on the Australian literary scene, but one of its most substantial talents'.
This intricate psychological thriller is also a brilliant meditation on love and loss, memory and deception, and the ties that bind us to others.
Mark Henshaw
Mark Henshaw has lived in France, Germany, Yugoslavia and the USA. He currently lives in Canberra. His first novel, Out of the Line of Fire (1988), won the FAW Barbara Ramsden Award and the NBC New Writers Award. It was one of the biggest-selling Australian literary novels of the decade. For many years Mark was a curator at the National Gallery of Australia. His most recent novel is The Snow Kimono.
Judges' report
Twenty-five years after his acclaimed Out of the Line of Fire, Mark Henshaw returns to literary fiction with a complex, moving book about guilt, responsibility and the stories we construct for ourselves. A retired police inspector, ruminating on his estranged daughter, meets a enigmatic stranger with a tale to tell. It's a set up for a crime novel – but here the mystery involves the nature of writing itself, as a series of cascading narratives unfolds across France, Japan and Algeria, with each installment complicating the themes and ideas of the last. The result is an exquisitely constructed and beautifully written text, a book as satisfying emotionally as it is intellectually.
THERE are times in your life when something happens after which you're never the same. It may be something direct or indirect, or something someone says to you. But whatever it is, there is no going back. And inevitably, when it happens, it happens suddenly, without warning.
Paris: July 1989
When Auguste Jovert stepped out of his apartment building on rue St Antoine to get his evening paper, it was dusk. The streetlamps were lit. Rain still fell in a thin mist. The roads shone. To anybody else it would have been obvious—accidents hovered like hawks in the air.
As he made his way along the wet pavement, in his coat, his umbrella unfurled above his head, he was thinking about a letter he had received that day. It was from a young woman, someone he had never met before, who had made an extraordinary claim. She claimed she was his daughter.
He had stood that morning in the cool, empty foyer of his apartment building reading and re-reading the letter. He did not at first see the small photograph caught in the corner of the envelope. When he did, he raised it to his face. One look into the young woman's eyes and he knew that it was true.
For thirty years, Jovert had worked as an Inspector of Police. Before that, he worked for the French Territorial Police in Algiers. Recently he had retired, and ever since then he had had the strangest feeling, the feeling that he was lost. While he worked, he barely had time to think. Things kept at bay. Now, however, fragments from his past had begun to replay themselves in his head. It was as if, now that he was approach- ing the end of his life, the overall pattern of his existence was about to be revealed to him. But the moment of revelation never came. Instead, he began to have doubts, to wake up at night. What's more, he constantly had the impression that something was about to happen. Then something did happen. The letter arrived.
It seemed to him later, recalling the accident, that at one moment he had been thinking about the letter, and the next he was lying flat on his back in the gutter looking up at the intricate expanse of the underside of a car. He could feel the heat from the engine on his face and hear the tiny tinking sounds of its cooling pipes. Odd drops of water fell about him and onto his forehead. One wheel of the car rested on the pavement above his head.
In the distance, he could hear the urgent rise and fall of a siren. He turned his head tentatively to his right. There, suspended beneath the rim of the car, was a man's face. He was wearing glasses. His upturned hat lay on the roadway beside him.
The man was kneeling down, staring at him. Jovert saw now that he was bald, that his perfectly burnished head was studded with thousands of tiny, incandescent hemispheres of light. He looked from one tiny dazzling world to the next. He saw the man's mouth moving. The tip of his tie rested on the wet roadway. A dark circle had begun to form about his knee. Jovert had wanted to tell him. Then a peculiar thing happened. All the lights went out.
Two days later, Jovert left his apartment once again to get his evening paper. This time on crutches. Six weeks, the doctor had said. He had held the X-rays of Jovert's knee up to the hospital window. Maybe more, he said.
On his way home, Jovert sat down on the bench opposite St Paul's to rest. He took the envelope he had received earlier that week out of his coat pocket, read the address.
A. Jovert Le Commissariat de Police 36 Quai des Orfèvres 75001 paris, france
He looked at the stamp, brought it up close to his face. Only now did he see that it had been franked some months before. He took the letter out and read it through once again. She did not know whether he was still alive, she said. She had only recently discovered that he was her father. She wanted him to know that she existed. She did not say why. I make no demands on you, she wrote. But then, at the end: Perhaps, if you wanted, you could write to me. And she gave him a name, an address— Mathilde Soukhane, 10 rue Duhamel, Algiers.
He took the photograph out of the envelope. He recalled the day almost thirty years before when he had seen her mother for the first time. It had been in Sétif, in a narrow side street. He had been walking up the chipped stone stairs. She had emerged suddenly, like an apparition, from an unseen door in the wall, her dress so white, so dazzling in the light that it was like some momentary disturbance in the air itself.
Even after all these years, the image of her face, her skin, dark against her blazing dress, still lingered. He remembered she had been carrying a bundle of papers in her arms. When he turned to look after her, she was gone.
The girl in the photograph had the same face, the same eyes. She had the same dark skin.
He sat for a long time thinking.
Then, all at once, as though he had only just made up his mind, he took the photograph, and the letter, and crushed them into a tight ball in his hand. He rose, threw the wad of paper into the bin beside the bench, and walked off.
It's too late, he said to himself. It's too late.
That evening, however, things began to change. Afterwards, months later, the letter, the accident, came to seem to him precursors of an even greater shift in his life, one that had been lying in wait for him for years.

Data centre managers and equipment vendors looking for greener alternatives will begin to benefit this year from a major initiative aimed at reducing the power consumed by Ethernet equipment.
Data centre managers and equipment vendors looking for greener alternatives will begin to benefit this year from a major initiative aimed at reducing the power consumed by Ethernet equipment. IEEE 802.3az, or the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, will implement low-power idle (LPI) modes for the full range of Ethernet BASE-T transceivers (100Mb, 1GbE and 10GbE) and the backplane physical layer standards (1GbE, 4-lane 1GbE and 10GbE).
Computing and network hardware has traditionally been benchmarked on performance with no clear metrics for energy efficiency. And because the focus of development has been ever higher performance, there has been a rapid increase in power consumption, particularly since the advent of multi-GHz processors. The EPA reports that energy usage in data centres doubled between 2000 and 2006 and is predicted to double again by 2011, hence the interest in energy efficiency.
Data centres are built to handle peak loads and often have excess capacity off peak. It's nice to have a lot of server cores available to tackle a big problem when you need them, but it costs a lot of money for power and cooling to keep those servers running constantly.
Clearly there are efficiencies to be gained by being able to operate the compute infrastructure in a manner that scales the power consumption down when the load is lower. Consider, for example, a data centre built to provide stock quotes within seconds. The servers are woefully underutilised when the market is closed. Making the power consumption proportional to the load would allow close to a ten-fold reduction in power consumption as the average utilisation tends to be less than 10% of peak capacity.
While the EPA recently defined metrics for server energy efficiency, there had been no measure to rate the energy efficiency of network equipment, so the EPA sought input from the Energy department-supported Environmental Energy Technologies division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Mike Bennett and Bruce Nordman of LBNL chose to bring this task to the IEEE LAN MAN Networking group, which initiated a standardisation project (Project 802.3az).
When the energy efficiency standards activity started in the 802.3 working group, one of the options considered was stepping down the power consumption of Ethernet transceivers (PHYs) in stages when the data rate required was less than peak. That idea was abandoned, after much debate, in favor of defining LPI modes and mechanisms to switch rapidly between the full operating speed and the low-power idle mode.
With this approach, the EEE standard will not only be able to improve the efficiency of data centre network equipment, but also provide standardised signaling mechanisms that can enable rapid transitions between normal operation and LPI states in systems on either end of the physical layer link.
This capability is reminiscent of the Wake-on-LAN standard (which defines magic packets that can be sent to remotely wake up a computer in a sleep mode), however, EEE signaling has much less latency, on the order of 10 microseconds.
LAN links generally average less than 10% utilisation and even at peak times, the utilisation does not reach 100%. When data is not being sent, the lower-speed PHYs (10Mbps and 100Mbps) would stop transmitting and hence would automatically consume less power. However, the higher-speed PHYs (1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T), the ones that are relevant to data centres, continue to transmit actively when there is no data to send, and thereby continue to consume power when idle.For the lower speed standards, the new EEE standard (IEEE 802.3az) specifies the transport of LPI signalling from the system on one side of the link to the system on the other side and provides only small incremental savings in the PHY power itself, but it enables rapid adjustments in power modes of the connected devices.
Because of these features, the LPI-to-active state transition can be made in less than 0.001% of the time it takes for the initial link-up of the PHY. During the sleep-to-wake transition, EEE requires that data transmission be held off for the PHY wake time so no data is lost.
The EEE standard also provides a mechanism to hold off transmission for longer periods than the minimum specified to allow for extended system wake times, and this can be coordinated across the network using the IEEE802.1AB protocol. This allows much finer grained and more flexible cycling between normal and LPI modes. This capability will be a powerful tool for power savings in future data centres.
The EEE standard has been through three cycles of working group balloting and has maintained an approval rating greater than 80%. It is slated to get approval to go to sponsor ballot next month. Full ratification is anticipated before year end.
