Charles County Sheriff's Office Maintains National Law Enforcement Accreditation by CALEA, and Receives the Highest Rating Possible for Any Law Enforcement Agency—the Award of Excellence
Charles County Sheriff Troy D. Berry is pleased to announce the Charles County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) was awarded Excellence, the highest rating possible by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), on November 13, 2020, in the Law Enforcement Advanced Accreditation program. The CCSO also achieved the Meritorious award for having been accredited for 15 or more continuous years.
Following a multi-year self-assessment phase and a meticulous site-based assessment of community engagement, policy, procedures, equipment, and facilities by CALEA assessors, Sheriff Berry and members of his executive command staff attended a virtual CALEA Commission Review Hearing on November 12, 2020. Each agency that was reviewed went before CALEA's 21-member Board of Commissioners where the commission reviewed all findings and determined the agencies' accreditation status.
"Our agency was first accredited in 2001 and has steadily attained high standards during remote reviews and site-based assessments. I attribute our award of Excellence to the men and women of the agency who have worked so hard to maintain the highest quality of service to our county. Our Planning and Accreditation Team worked tirelessly to ensure this process, which is tedious and requires a great deal of attention to detail, and went above and beyond to ensure the assessors had everything they needed to do the most thorough review of our policies and practices. We are beyond honored yet humbled as we recognize that the Excellence rating is only awarded to a few agencies, internationally, during reaccreditation processes," said Sheriff Berry.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual CALEA Conference, where agencies are formally reviewed and awarded in person, was taken online to a virtual format. On Friday November 13, 2020, the CALEA Commission voted to approve reaccreditation of the Charles County Sheriff's Office. CALEA President Anthony Purcell and Executive Director W. Craig Hartley, Jr. formally awarded the Charles County Sheriff's Office with accreditation, signifying Excellence in public safety and commitment to community. This is the Charles County Sheriff's Office's seventh award of national accreditation.
"We are appreciative of the work performed by the assessors during each review as they are tasked with providing us critical review on our standards. They really spend a great deal of time with us interviewing our staff, community leaders, and members of our communities to determine if we have met the goals and standards expected of us," said Sheriff Berry. "Having CALEA accreditation is imperative and helps enhance trust within our communities knowing our policies and practices have been reviewed by outside experts and they have determined we are providing excellent service to help keep our communities safe," said Sheriff Berry.
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. was established as an independent accrediting authority in 1979 by four major law enforcement membership associations: International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE); National Sheriffs' Association (NSA); and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). The purpose of the Commission is to develop standards based on international best practices in public safety, and to establish and administer the accreditation process. The accreditation process is how a public safety agency voluntarily demonstrates how it meets professionally recognized criteria for excellence in management and service delivery.
"This award of accreditation does not come easy," said CALEA President Anthony Purcell, Chief of Police, University of Alabama at Birmingham Police Department. "Agencies must go through a rigorous review and evaluation of their organization and then implement the necessary policy and procedure changes. The process does not stop at that point. By voluntarily choosing to seek CALEA accreditation, the agency commits to an ongoing review of adherence to CALEA's standards. Each community with CALEA accredited agencies should feel confident that their public safety organization is going above and beyond and operating under the highest standards in public safety."
"Accreditation symbolizes professionalism, excellence and competence. Our employees take pride in knowing it represents the very best in public safety," said Sherif

(Victoria, BC) - Abebooks, the world's largest network of independent booksellers, won this years' Canadian Information Productivity Award (CIPA) for Best of Show at the ninth annual Gala Banquet in Toronto last week.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brent James and Chief Information Officer (CIO)/Founder Keith Waters accepted the award before a black-tie audience of 800 senior executives. Abebooks also won first place in the e-commerce category.
The CIPA Best of Show Award recognized abebooks for creating extraordinary e-commerce software to build a worldwide bookselling business. The software enables users to easily find and purchase books from an inventory of over 30 million titles.
CIPA recognizes outstanding businesses that show senior executives the benefits that strategic application of information technology can bring.
CIPA was created in 1992 and is the largest national business awards program in Canada in the field of information management. The CIPA mission is to find visionary individuals and organizations making the most innovative and effective use of information technology, and to help motivate Canada's senior executives to follow their example.


Crypto startups are betting that payments in cryptocurrency in supermarkets and cafes will be ubiquitous on a short-term horizon. Digital currencies, despite their benefits, are unlikely the last stage in the evolution of payment methods, but a few startups making payment in cryptocurrencies fast and convenient are now entering the market.
Let's briefly look through the history of how crypto payments were born and have evolved, and take a glance at what kind of retail-oriented solutions exist today.
Aside from gold and silver, which were used as money from at least the 3rd century BC, a variety of items could be considered as commodity money: grain, salt, flax, cattle, dried fish, dog teeth, shells of tropical mollusks or stone discs.
Two thousand years ago, the idea of not even carrying money around at all appeared. On the island of Yap in the Pacific, buyers paid for goods in stone "coins" – huge discs of limestone weighing up to four tons. The inhabitants simply left the big coins where they lay, counting them to commit the transaction.
In the 19th century, the lag in precious metals extraction, which was behind the growth in payment instruments needed for trade, led to the spread of paper money issued by governments.
In 1914, credit cards made from cardboard were widespread in America. But the first mass-adopted payment card system was created in 1949 by Diners Club. The system differed from all existing ones by the presence of an intermediary which executed payments between the client and commercial companies. This allowed Diners Club to become a very popular and universal card.
So what about cash? As it turned out, withdrawal of cash from circulation can reduce the number of robberies, help deal with financial crimes more effectively, and saves funds spent on banknote and coin circulation since the processing of electronic payments is much cheaper.
In some countries, the share of cash payments is now close to zero. In 2015, only 2% of payments in Sweden were carried out with cash. By 2020, this proportion will likely be reduced to 0.5%. The situation is similar in Denmark, Iceland and Norway. Rapidly developing countries like India and China are moving in the same direction.
But now both customers and merchants are no longer even satisfied with cards. With the advent of NFC chips, society has the option to pay for goods and services in one touch not only by card, but via phones, smart watches and even wardrobe items. The consumer behavior of millennials – who make up 27% of the world's population – has had a significant impact on the creation of a cashless society.
The word "cashless" soon expanded to the idea of a fiat-free society, and cryptocurrencies and crypto payments came to the fore. In 2009, a few years after the appearance of the first "electronic cash" protocols and the idea of cryptocurrency "b-money" was outlined, the world heard about bitcoin. The following year, the first exchange of bitcoins for real goods took place. Laszlo Hanyecz made the first documented purchase of a good with bitcoin when he bought two pizzas.
Cryptocurrencies attracted both customers and merchants with advantages that are inapplicable to cash payments or card payments: anonymity as opposed to card payments; reduction of taxes and transaction costs – digital currencies are treated as assets rather than currencies, which is why crypto transactions aren't taxed yet, at least in some jurisdictions; refusal of paper checks – in-store purchases could be assigned digital receipts, which could help the industry become paperless; and fraud-reduction – the Bitcoin blockchain makes counterfeiting difficult because it is a distributed ledger.
Tech titans researched the blockchain technology and were not too far behind in coming up with their own solutions for retail. IBM turned to blockchain in trying to improve supply chain operations. The company developed a project helping Walmart improve the tracking of pork from China that is sold in its stores. The aim is to improve food safety by recording all information about the people and steps involved in bringing the products to store.
In 2017 another giant, Microsoft, demonstrated its tech for creating self-executing smart contracts based on Azure Blockchain-as-a-Service. The contracts automatically implement agreed terms such as temperature restrictions, a timeframe for delivery, date of collection, etc. These contracts could help supply chains become smarter while saving time and money.
But here is an oddity again from customers' perspective: сryptocurrency turned out to be pretty unsuitable for daily use due to their volatility and the lack of relevant infrastructure at points of sale. Most сonsumers aren't using crypto to make purchases, instead making a choice to HODL (hold on for dear life) and not spend them, especially during periods of depreciation.
To make cryptocurrencies less volatile, their mass adoption is needed. For this to happen, consumers need an opportunity to spend their BTC or other crypto as easily as traditional money. Following this logic, a bunch of startups came up with tools that make it easy for both merchants and consumers to transact using digital currencies.
One startup in Singapore, TenX, connects its digital currency wallet to a Visa wallet, making it possible for consumers to use a Visa card to spend crypto. Another company, BitPay, offers a Bitcoin payment integration to point of sale, so that retailers can accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment.
A startup called Lolli rewards customers as they shop at affiliated retailers. This blockchain-based rewards platform uses a browser extension to track purchases. Whenever the user makes a purchase, bitcoins are deposited into the user's wallet. Users can ultimately earn up to one-third back in bitcoin.
Another project named Beam brings the power of blockchain technology to payment gateways. Being deployed across the United Arab Emirates, the company's terminals are now available at supermarkets, restaurants and petrol stations.
An app called Shopin gives shoppers control of their personal information which is stored via blockchain, while helping retailers target customers more effectively. Using the app, each shopper can create its own profile and set shopping preferences.
Since the big challenge for cryptocurrency is acceptance as a real currency, crypto startup Cyclebit has come up with a technology that allows customers of 130 coffee shops in Europe to pay for coffee with bitcoins via an app, running on both IOS and Android. The startup already has access to a working ecosystem provided by Ibox – an omnichannel payment platform with a couple of hundred terminals.
Utilizing crypto will unlock new revenue streams for merchants and entice crypto enthusiasts to spend their coins, injecting new funds into the economy. The idea of all the startups mentioned above is to make the purchasing and payment experience close to pre-existing, well-known procedures for credit cards or contactless payments.
Although the vagaries of generation Y are unlikely to be the last ones in the chain of the evolution of payment methods, the bottom line now is that the crypto world has already had enough applications in real life, so it is time to really pay attention to the technology.

All who knew Thomas Lake would agree that he was one of the most kind and generous people around. He was someone who was willing to help anyone whether in ways great or small no matter the personal sacrifice. A more devoted husband and father would be hard to find, and there was nothing that made Tom more proud than becoming a grandfather later in life. Although he will be deeply missed, he leaves behind a timeless legacy that his loved ones will proudly carry on in his footsteps.
During the first half of the 1940s, the eyes of our nation were focused overseas as WWII raged on. Countless young servicemen and women had answered the call to serve, and those who remained stateside became familiar with rationing on several common goods. Amidst this eventful time was a time of great anticipation in the lives of Donald and Marie (Ressell) Lake as they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new baby as the beauty of spring began to unfold in May of 1942. The big day finally arrived on May 13th when the baby boy they named Thomas Edward drew his first breath.
The only child in his family, Tom was a typical young boy of his generation and was raised in the family home in the Burton Heights area of Grand Rapids, Michigan. His father worked as a machinist who made bread slicing machines while his mother focused her time and attention on being a wife, mother, and homemaker. Tom always had a chicken or a rabbit, and he made them rather calm by frequently petting them. As a student he attended Buchanan Elementary and then went on to South High School.
After graduating in 1960, Tom wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Although he didn't have a job, his mother was ready for him to move out so he went to his aunt's house for a couple of weeks. Soon, Tom enlisted in the Army. He spent about two-and-a-half years stationed in Germany where he worked in communications. He enjoyed the camaraderie, and he made many fond memories while there. With his military duties fulfilled, Tom returned home. His father got him a job at Oliver Machinery. After 20 years there, Tom worked for Nucraft Furniture until he retired in the 1990s.
New and exciting changes were in store for Tom when he met the young woman who would forever hold the key to his heart. Her name was Dorothy Schichtel, and they met on a blind date playing cards with friends in 1968. Smitten, Tom asked her out for coffee the very next day. With a desire to spend the rest of their lives together the couple was married on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1969, at St. James Church in Grand Rapids. After a honeymoon up at the Mackinac Bridge, the couple retuned home and settled into an apartment on Valley, NW. While Tom continued working at Oliver, Dorothy worked for a local doctor. Together they welcomed two children, Jennifer and Don, into their hearts and home. They spent 25 years raising their family at their home on Elmwood, NE, and they later built a home on Line Drive Ct, NE. This is the place they called home for the past 24 years.
There was nothing that was ever more important to Tom than spending time with his family. They spent a lot of time on Little Pine Island where his aunt and grandma had a cottage, and later his parents had a place there as well. Tom and Don spent many hours fishing together there over the years. There were memorable family trips to the Wisconsin Dells and also to Disney World and Sea World in Florida. It has been said that Tom taught his children to drive at a young age. Tom really enjoyed just being home, and when he was with family Tom was almost always the one making everyone laugh as he told the best stories. Later in life he was filled with unspeakable joy to become a grandfather, and he was so proud to have a grandson to carry on the family name. It was easy to see that Tom's grandchildren were the light of his world, and he was so proud of each one of them.
In his free time, Tom had several things he enjoyed. For years he liked golfing with his friend, Jim Tomaszewski. Tom did enjoy deer hunting, but truth be told he didn't sit very still so he usually ended up scaring away most of the deer. He liked cribbage and strategy games, and he also enjoyed reading war stories, cowboy westerns, and history. When it came to his favorite foods, he was all about the candy and chocolate chips. Once he had knee and back surgery, Tom developed COPD, which decreased his mobility over time. Arthritis later set in, and his health only declined further from there.
When reflecting on the life of Thomas Lake, it is easy to see the deep love and devotion he had for his family. He was always willing to help a family member, friend, or neighbor, and he maintained an active lifestyle for much of his life. Life will never be the same without him here, but Tom will never be forgotten.

"F&B concepts in the hotel industry" symposium
Another symposium organised by the journal Hotelbau was held on 21 March 2019 at Le Méridien at the main railway station in Munich. As usual, emco was one of the sponsors for this event. This time, the symposium focussed on planning, design and operations in the Food & Beverage sector.

The Robot Science Museum in Seoul
The Turkish architectural practice Melike Altınışık Architects (MAA) has won the international bid for the Robot Science Museum in Seoul (South Korea). The city's local government called for museum concepts raising public awareness and interest in robotics and robots.
Architecture as a forum for art
Art has many forms, but it always needs a stage – whether this is in a public space, museum or theatre. One of these locations is the Stage Theater im Hafen on the River Elbe in Hamburg, which was built in 1994 with a tent-like design. At the time it was the venue for the musical Buddy.
Linguistically speaking, the German word for art ("Kunst") could be said to be made of plastic ("Kunststoff"). So the name suggests something else entirely than disposable cutlery and throw-away shopping bags. The Germans also use the word "Plastik" to refer to a sculpture, which makes it seem only right to create a sculpture out of plastic. Indeed, the 20th century material has had a considerable influence on the art of this era. It has democratised and trivialised art, removed the value from the raw material and transformed the artist from a lonely workshop creative to a designer of mass goods. With 105,000 tonnes of plastic rubbish produced every year in Germany, we are not far away from the concept of throw-away art.
"I fight for the reputation of plastic."
400 Fontanes, 500 Beethovens, 600 Nuremberg Madonnas: Ottmar Hörl is famous for his monumental sculptures of plastic figures. A career involving more plastic than practically any other artist's career. And he has fought more consistently than any other artist against the elitist pricing policy of the art world.

Architecture at one with nature
Architecture to emphasise and reflect the natural beauty of the mountains. In the 1960s, a traditional farmhouse stood here, not far from the small Italian town of Bolzano. Today, in the same location in the middle of the Dolomites in the South Tyrol, there is a unique building, which blends in with the beauty of the surrounding natural scenery and mountains thanks to a mirrored façade.

Planet Full Of Blues - has just announced the much anticipated follow-up to their 2008 chart making self-titled debut album. In fact, the title track off of the Virginia based power trio's first release was listed on the national Roots Music Report—Roots Blues chart as one of the top 50 blues songs in the nation for over 30 plus weeks throughout 2008—2009.

Gaines' artful influence is felt throughout the 11 original tracks bringing out the best of the band's unique blend of guitar-driven blues-rock. Simply put, Gaines does an amazing job at capturing and conveying the emotion that was experienced during the Hard Landing sessions. Backed by Brock Howe on drums and Ron Dameron on bass, Johnny Ray Light's unique rich vocals and searing yet soulful lead guitar playing are nicely complimented by the big breathing percussive sound and strong clean vocals provided by Howe.

Mondays at halftime of the hit comedy show "Polónia" on "prime time", TV3 (Television of Catalonia – Spain) TV movie series debuts "Pere i Júlia", a "minisitcom" – an unprecedented format in Catalonia – with chapters of a minute duration which represent a new way to integrate content and brand, what is known as branded content. The soundtrack and tune has been created completely by Crister Garcia.
"Pere i Júlia" is produced by TV3 created specifically with a modelable script that can be adjusted to the communication requests of different brands and even own products. The first 10 chapters have already been filmed, which will be broadcasted every Monday for 10 weeks after the News TV evening. The trademark Borges is the advertiser of the first chapter.
"Pere i Júlia" is a brief format fiction that orbits around the life of two characters that work together, but they have apparently different lifestyles. Júlia (Miranda Makaroff) is a city girl that loves music and fashion, as well the latest trends. A hyperactive girl, funny and embarrassing. Pere (Christian Guiriguet) loves sports and outdoor activities, specially mountain biking. He is a discreet guy and a bit classic, as well good gourmet and strict with all that he eats and cooks.
Pere is the head of a small communications company with headquarters in his home. Júlia has just joined as a graphic designer. Apparently they are so different, but step by step they will know that they are more similar than they think.
At the same time that television chapters are broadcasted, they will be integrated in different areas of TV programming. "Pere i Júlia" is a multiplatform product: the stories that are broadcasted goes on through different media platforms 2.0. Through the official web, the Facebook of Júlia and Pere's blog. Audience can follow the scripts frames and characters's evolution.

Home > Banking > COVID-19 guaranteed loan scheme for businesses with an annual turnover of less than R300 million
COVID-19 guaranteed loan scheme for businesses with an annual turnover of less than R300 million
By Tshegofatso Rammutla and Jackie Midlane on May 15, 2020 Posted in Banking
In a further initiative to combat the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state, in collaboration with the banking sector and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has announced a R100 billion loan scheme to assist ailing small and medium-sized businesses (SMMEs).
On 12 May 2020 National Treasury, the SARB and the Banking Association South Africa released a joint media statement announcing the immediate activation of a loan guarantee scheme which will provide an additional source of funding to SMMEs.
The loan guarantee scheme will equip commercial banks with funding to provide loans to businesses with an annual turnover of less than R300 million. Loans made under the scheme will be offered at prime interest rate, come with an initial 6 month repayment holiday and up to 60 months to repay thereafter.
Businesses can access the loan scheme through the commercial banks who will in turn receive loan funding from the SARB. The scheme is underpinned by National Treasury, which provides a guarantee in favour of the SARB. The risk allocation model of the scheme is such that the state will carry most of the risk of defaults which result in losses. Practically, the losses will be allocated as follows:
The net margin on the loan portfolio (approximately 2%) is pooled as the first loss buffer.
The 0.5% guarantee fee charged by the National Treasury is the second loss buffer.
The commercial banks will take the third loss, up to 6 % of the amount loaned by that particular bank in terms of the scheme.
After that, losses will be borne by National Treasury.
National Treasury has provided a guarantee of R100 billion to the scheme, with the option to increase the guarantee to R200 billion. Funds borrowed through the scheme can be used by businesses for operational expenses such as salaries, rent and lease agreements, contracts with suppliers, etc.
Businesses are cautioned from assuming that the scheme will provide easy access to cash because each business will be required to comply with a set of qualification criteria that will be applied by participating commercial banks. The participating commercial banks are not obliged to extend any loans and approval of applications by qualifying businesses are subject to the banks' risk-evaluation and credit-application processes. Lenders must not overlook their obligations under the National Credit Act to individual and small business borrowers though over-indebtedness enquiries can take into account the prospects of any such borrower
The COVID-19 guaranteed loan scheme presents a unique economic stimulus mechanism that will undoubtedly offer some relief to SMMEs. The collaboration and risk strategy adopted by the public and private sector participants will go some way in building much needed cohesion in the fight against COVID-19 and is a positive indicator that the South African government is committed in its efforts to stabilise the South African economy.

Today's post is a little bit different than what you're used to seeing. No recipes, no workout tips, no nutrition lessons.
Today's post is about gratitude. My gratitude. For all of my clients. For my friends. For my family. For you.
This card totally made my day! How lucky was I to have touched someone to the point where they would go out of their way to write me this card for no other reason than to just say thanks?
Thank you for all your help returning me to my pre-pregnancy self!
Thank you for your wonderful training sessions with me. I am very grateful and very pleased with my progress.
I started WellMom after giving birth to my daughter. Fitness was just a side job for me until this point. I taught a few indoor cycling classes each week at a local gym on weekends and on weekdays after coming home from my "real job." (I used to do survey research, if you can believe that!). I liked my job well enough, but I also knew it wasn't the best fit for me. I did some soul searching during my maternity leave and decided now was a good opportunity for me to take the plunge and try to make a career out of my true passion: health and wellness.
And here we are now, two years later. Helping clients to achieve their fitness and wellness goals gives me so much more pleasure and sense of purpose than working behind a desk ever did.
Has the road been completely smooth? Of course not. I've had countless moments of self-doubt along the way, feelings I still face from time to time. But each time I touch someone – in the words of my client, each time I help to make their lives BETTER – I find a renewed sense confidence in my decision to change career paths.
So I am thankful for my clients and their thoughtful holiday cards. I am thankful for their kind testimonials and reviews of my services.
I am grateful too for my friends and family who have supported me along the way. WellMom wouldn't be here without my husband, who encouraged me to take the leap and quit my old job and who helps me work through my moments of self-doubt. And I have countless other family members and friends who have helped me work through ideas for the company, provided loving words of encouragement, and also challenged me where appropriate.
If you're interested in reading more about WellMom's mission, be sure to check out my previous blog post, Putting the "Well" in WellMom. It will give you a better sense of what it means to me to make the lives of my moms better.

Biltong has BLOWN MY MIND. It is so tender and packed with real BEEF flavor while staying clean. Best snack for me and my family, my kids and husband are obsessed with it! The smoked one is by far our favorite!
The smoked flavor is one of my favorites, I even use it in scrambled eggs for a guilt free protein that tastes great. Never disappoints with the flavor. Just love it!
I have tried all of the Stryve biltong flavors, and they are great, but smoked is my favorite. I have a stash in my desk to get me through afternoons at the office. Awesome flavor that is healthier than other snacks. I love it!!


Ladies and gentleman, the cardiac kids are back. Colorado was down two goals twice tonight and roared back to win 4-3 against the Hurricanes at the Pepsi Center. Reto Berra started the game but was pulled late in the first period after surrendering three goals on 10 shots. With Varlamov still suffering from a groin injury, the Avs backup goalie was Calvin Pickard. He came in relief of Berra and was a perfect 17 for 17. The rookie goaltender earned his first career NHL victory.


By reading this koob, you will learn that being rich is a legitimate, desirable goal that many hope to reach. Yet only a small minority does succeed, while others suffer from their financially unfulfilling lives. How can this paradox be explained? The truth is that becoming rich is not only, and by far, a matter of relationships, knowledge, or even opportunities as is too often believed: it is first and foremost a state of mind. Learning to change it is the real secret of success.
- to improve yourself and help others.
After he was told to "think rich to get rich," the author had a revelation.

In "The Secrets of a Millionaire Mind," he shares his secrets of success and ensures that anyone can achieve it just as quickly.

Nowa Synagoga w Gocie – nieistniejąca synagoga w mieście Gotha przy Hohenlohestraße 1 (obecnie Moßlerstraße).

Synagoga została zbudowana w latach 1903–1904 według projektu architekta Richarda Klepziga w stylu neogotyckim. Była to budowla na planie centralnym zwieńczona kopułą. Poświęcenie synagogi nastąpiło 11 maja 1904. Na uroczystości byli obecni: nadburmistrz Otto Liebetrau, członkowie rady miejskiej, przedstawiciele wspólnoty ewangelickiej i katolickiej oraz minister stanu Philipp Hermann von Hentig, który w imieniu rządu książęcego wygłosił krótkie przemówienie. Następnie mowę wygłosił nadburmistrz. Na zakończenie rabin krajowy Isaac Prager z Kassel umieścił zwoje tory w Aron ha-kodesz.

W czasie nocy kryształowej synagoga została podpalona, a straż pożarna czuwała, by ogień nie przeniósł się na sąsiednie budynki. 10 marca 1939 rozpoczęto rozbiórkę ruin na koszt gminy żydowskiej.

W 1988 w pobliżu miejsca, na którym stała synagoga, odsłonięto pomnik autorstwa Hansa Kleina. W 1991 fragment ulicy Lenaustraße pomiędzy Moßlerstraße i Gartenstraße przemianowano na An der Synagoge.

World News & Views Rwanda's packed prisons and genocide ideology law
Rwanda's packed prisons and genocide ideology law
"Genocide ideology" became a crime in Rwanda in 2003, the same year President Paul Kagame officially became Rwanda's president, with that year's ratification of the new Rwandan Constitution, which includes Article 13:
"The crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes do not have a period of limitation.
"Revisionism, negationism and trivialisation of genocide are punishable by the law."
Today, 62 percent of the people packed into Rwanda's prisons have been charged or convicted of genocide-related crimes and some of the country's most admired leaders are being accused of the "genocide ideology" thought crime. Most prominent are Victoire Ingabire, Kagame's strongest competitor for the presidency, and Paul Rusesabagina, the hero portrayed in the film "Hotel Rwanda," who is charged with "Double Genocide Theory."
Article 13 criminalizes not only genocidal violence but also disagreement with the received history of the Rwanda Genocide, which has become a major issue in Rwanda's 2010 presidential election. Many academics, journalists and human rights investigators, the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda and Judge Fernando Andreu of Spain's National Court now disagree with the received history of who and how many died, who killed whom, who was most responsible and how the tragedy unfolded, but Rwandan citizens who disagree must take care not to do so publicly.
University of Michigan Professor Allan Stam concluded, with University of Notre Dame Professor Christian Davenport, that the vast majority of people who died in the 1994 Rwanda Genocide were Hutus. Stam presented his findings last year at the University of Michigan in a speech entitled "Coming to a New Understanding of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide." Professor Stam's passport to Rwanda has been revoked, but he remains safe in the United States.
An additional 2008 statute, named the "genocide ideology law," was passed by Rwanda's Parliament and published in Kinyarwanda, English and French in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Rwanda.
This enthusiastic article, "Rwanda: New Law to Fight Genocide Ideology," published in the New Times and then republished on allAfrica.com, says:
"Kigali – Recently, lawmakers voted in a new law aimed to tackle cases of genocide ideology. The draft law was last Friday forwarded to the Senate for scrutiny. Legislators said the law was necessary to help fight the deadly ideology which plunged the country into the 1994 Genocide. The bill is introduced months after damning revelations that showed cases in which school children demonstrated predisposition to the genocide ideology. The Senate had also found rampant genocide ideology in families, schools and some individuals, which sparked the House to react immediately to stop the vice.
"The damning revelations of genocide ideology in schools by the lower chamber of Parliament caused an uproar in the House, which decided to uproot the vice and save the young generation from contamination.
"Under the new law, children under 12 years found guilty will be sent to rehabilitation centres for not more than 12 months."
This highly critical Oct. 13, 2009, Human Rights Watch report, "You will be punished," says:
"Largely aimed at the Hutu population, such offenses permit, among other measures, the government to send away children of any age to rehabilitation centers for up to one year – including for the teasing of classmates – and for parents and teachers to face sentences of 15 to 25 years for the child's conduct. The government has repeatedly accused the Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Corporation and other media outlets, as well as Human Rights Watch, of promoting genocide ideology; accusations these organizations deny."
Rwanda's rate of incarceration, which is the third highest per capita in the world, is second only to that of the United States and Russia, according to the King's College 2009 World Prison Population List. The report includes a brief with a summary chart saying that Rwandan prisons hold 59,311 people, 593 per 100,000 people in Rwanda's population, and that roughly 37,000 of these are "awaiting trial or serving sentences for crimes associated with the genocide of 1994." (Gitarama Prison, pictured above, is described on Akorra.com, on March 10, 2010, as one of the "Top 5 Most Horrible Prisons on Earth.")
Didas Gasana, editor of Umuseso, Rwanda's independent Kinyarwanda language newspaper, made inquiries as to how many of the 62 percent of Rwandan prisoners incarcerated for "genocide related crimes" are accused of speech crime – disputing the received history of the Rwanda Genocide – but said that this statistic is not available and that his sources are "tight lipped."
Gasana's own prison sentence, for publishing a story on an elected official's affair with a bureaucrat, is now on appeal and is being protested by Reporters without Borders.
Rwanda accuses Hotel Rwanda hero of 'Double Genocide Theory'
Rwanda's government has accused Paul Rusesabagina, the Rwandan exile played by actor Don Cheadle in the movie "Hotel Rwanda," of being a "revisionist" who "harbors the Double Genocide Theory."
A "revisionist" in Rwanda is someone who dares to challenge the received history of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide. The "Double Genocide Theory" is the belief that Hutus as well as Tutsis were victims of genocidal violence in 1994.
The Rwanda New Times reported on March 12 that the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda had ruled that Paul Rusesabagina's testimony was "not an absolute necessity" at the trial of former ruling party official Joseph Nzirorera.
The New Times also reported: "Deogene Bideri, a senior official at the National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG), equated Rusesabagina's actions to those of the accused. 'Rusesabagina's actions have made it clear that he is a revisionist and he harbors the Double Genocide Ideology.'
The report continues: "Theodore Simburudari, the president of Ibuka, an umbrella organization of Genocide survivors' associations, said that for Nzirorera to ask Rusesabagina to be his witness is evidence in itself that both men have in their agenda spreading the Double Genocide Ideology."
Much of the world's emotional response to the 1994 Rwanda Genocide has been shaped by the Hollywood movie "Hotel Rwanda." At its end, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) Army, led by Gen. Paul Kagame, appear as heroes to end the bloodshed, as the movie's hero, Paul Rusesabagina, departs from a Rwandan refugee camp with his family.
The movie makes no mention of the many political and legal scholars, journalists and human rights investigators contesting the received history of the genocide, including University of Notre Dame Professor Christian Davenport and University of Michigan Professor Alan Stam, who, after many years of study, interviews with survivors and statistical analysis, concluded that :
a million people died,
the vast majority of those who died were not Tutsi, but Hutu,
American, French and Belgian leaders, including Bill Clinton and the CIA, knew what was happening every day as the massacres continued and
current Rwandan President Paul Kagame, a U.S. ally trained at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is guilty of war crimes of an extraordinary scale.
Professors Stam and Davenport's Rwandan visas have been revoked.
Nor does the movie mention Kagame's training at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the Pentagon arming his Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) army, or the victory of the U.S., U.K. and Anglophone interests over those of France, won by the RPF, as described by Professor Michel Chussodovsky in his Global Research report "Rwanda: Installing a U.S. Protectorate in Central Africa."
Indeed, the movie ends with this message: "The genocide ended in July 1994, when the Tutsi rebels [Kagame's RPF militia] drove the Hutu army and the interahamwe militia across the border into the Congo. They left behind almost a million corpses."
It might therefore seem like good public relations for Kagame and his ruling RPF Party to remain on good terms, at least publicly, with Paul Rusesabagina, the real life hero of "Hotel Rwanda," which is based on his autobiography, "An Ordinary Man."
Instead, they have accused him of "revisionism" and "harboring the Double Genocide Theory."
Kagame and the RPF are coming under more and more international pressure to hold a real presidential election this year, as reported by the London Independent on March 15 in "Rwanda's Democratic Credentials Under Fire."
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Campaign to Protect Journalists, the Global Greens, the European Green Free Alliance, the African Faith and Social Justice Network and U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Africa, have all called for civil and political rights and a free and fair election, but authorities continue to deny two of the three major opposition parties permits to convene, register or field candidates.
On March 12, the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation joined the list, issuing a press release that "condemns election related violence in Rwanda and calls for real democratic activity to be allowed."
Authorities nevertheless continue to threaten the FDU-Inkingi Party's candidate, Victoire Ingabiré Umuhoza, and the Parti Social-Imberakuri's embattled leader, Bernard Ntaganda, with incarceration for the same offenses that Kagame's government accuses Paul Rusesabagina of: "revisionism" and the "Double Genocide Theory."
Both are speech crimes under the Rwandan Constitution ratified in 2003 and Rwanda's "genocide ideology" statutes passed in 2008.

19 Feb 2020 HeraldPOP Interview 'Comeback' Dreamcatcher "We are thankful for our popularity overseas, but we want more people to notice us in Korea now"
[Herald POP=Reporter Kim Ji-hye]
Dreamcatcher(JIU, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami, Gahyeon) returns with their first studio album, signalling the start to their new world.
Dreamcatcher has cut out a special niche for themselves, presenting a fresh fantasy world-setting and rock-metal musicality, unprecedented for a girl group. They have seen a string of popular songs with such titles as "Deja Vu", "Chase Me", "You and I", and "PIRI" while depicting a vast world. In the new album, they plan to lead listeners into their 'Dystopia' story, which depicts a world darkened by language scarred by wounds in a reflection of the painful and harsh realities we inhabit.
Recently, the release interview for Dreamcatcher's first studio album "Dystopia: The Tree of Language" was held in a cafe at Nonhyeon-dong.
Their lead track 'Scream' broadens Dreamcatcher's genre spectrum, and is memorable for the scream that comes right before the chorus. Dreamcatcher stated "We've always done rock, and we can't abandon that. So for the first time, we tried to add electronica elements on top of a rock basis," adding that "We made the story using the middle age witch hunts as the motif. The point of note is the multiple screams in the chorus."
By continuing on a steady path genre-wise, Dreamcatcher has emerged as the most anticipated girl group of 2020. When asked how they felt about this, Sua responded "We got known as the group receiving high expectations both domestically and internationally. It felt amazing," and went on to state "I felt we could become a team well liked from a broad audience, not limited to one place," revealing her hopes.
As Dreamcatcher crosses the 3 year line since their debut, Dreamcatcher members themselves now feel the growth and changes that the team has gone through. JIU said "in terms of a concrete achievements, we went on tour in Europe on the first year of our debut. Our venues were around 4-500 seats then. Recently, we got 1000 seat venues. Seeing that, I realized that we really had grown in the past couple of years, and that people would come to see us."
What do they want to achieve with this album they worked so hard on? As they are better known overseas than domestically, Gahyeon said "I want more people to recognize us in Korea. There are people who do when we're overseas but there aren't that many when we're in Korea. I went to an amusement park in Korea and I was a bit sad that nobody recognized me. I want people to recognize us now," said Gahyeon, revealing a cute ambition.
Towards fans, who give them unrelenting support, Siyeon lovingly said "I want to become a singer who can make our InSomnia happy. We're told "thank you for singing", "thank you for becoming singers", and we want to return those words to them." Sua said "since we have a well defined musicality, there are lots of people who love us after listening to our songs once. Our goal is to stay on our course without wavering," resolving to keep Dreamcatcher's characteristics going.
You can listen to the tracks on Dreamcatcher's first studio album "Dystopia: The Tree of Language" including their lead track, "Scream", on various streaming sites.

Blackpink Single Looks to Make History on the Sales Chart
Posted by Editor | archive, Music | 0 |
Blackpink, one of the most popular South Korean bands, recently announced that it would drop its new single soon. This sent the fans into a momentary frenzy, as this was unexpected. The new track is the second song from their full-length album scheduled for release in October. On top of that, rumors circulate that they will collaborate with YouTube sensation, PewDiePie. Teaming up with one of the most popular YouTube content creators puts Blackpink and its new song in the perfect position to beat the 24-hour YouTube views record.
Expected bestseller
Blackpink fans don't shy away from spending money whenever a new track is released. Their track record proves that they are one of the biggest spenders in the world. This is the reason why everyone thinks that Blackpink's new song will make history. The fans have waited a long time to listen to new music, and this is the perfect opportunity for the band to rake up the numbers.
While most music lovers these days prefer to stream the latest songs online, Blackpink fans still believe in opening up their wallets to shower love for their favorite band. This willingness to spend money without thinking twice is most likely to take the new single to the top of the sales chart after its anticipated release.
A massive collaboration in the works
According to experts who track the monetary success of songs, Blackpink's new track would inevitably reach the top of Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart. This would be the fifth time that Blackpink makes it to the top charts of Billboard. They expect the song to remain at the top of South Korea's music charts for weeks. They also believe it would rank in the Billboard Top 10.
2020 has been one of the most successful years in the journey of Blackpink so far. Earlier, they worked on a song called "Sour Candy" with Lady Gaga before dropping their song "How You Like That." This time, they are collaborating with the Swedish YouTuber, P.ewDiePie. BlackpinkftPewDiepie is already trending right after P.ewDiePie said that Blackpink is one of his favorite K-Pop bands.
If their new song manages to reach the top 10 songs in the Digital Song Sales chart, they will create history by becoming one of the few artists in South Korea to achieve that feat. They will write their names alongside BTS's Suga if their song breaks into the top 10 list.
Experts believe that the song would make it to the top spot due to the massive fan-following of Blackpink, who can go to any extent to see their favorite band make it big in the Digital Song Sales chart. PewDiePie fans are ready and willing to support their idol as well. If Blackpink does manage to secure the number one spot, it will become the third band from South Korea to top the sales charts and the first all-girl band from an Asian nation to achieve this incredible record.

Die 26. Unterseebootflottille, kurz 26. U-Flottille, war ein militärischer Verband der ehemaligen deutschen Kriegsmarine im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Geschichte
Die Flottille wurde im April 1941 als U-Boots-Ausbildungsflottille gebildet. Stützpunkt war bis Februar 1945 Pillau, dann bis Kriegsende Warnemünde. Die Flottille diente primär der Torpedoschießausbildung für U-Boot-Kommandanten. Ein typischer Kommandantenschießlehrgang dauerte drei bis vier Wochen. Wohn- und Beischiff der Flottille war die Duala.

The case at hand was brought by a CEO who had developed industry-leading technology, but was having cash flow issues. He was looking for ideas to accelerate the sales cycle and increase cash flow.
First off, let me say that how far you've come is nothing short of amazing. Your intelligence has driven your company to great heights. If I were in your shoes at this important moment in your company's evolution, I would hire a customer success manager and prioritize my existing accounts, instead of finding new business.
You've built one of the most sophisticated technology companies out there with an impressive list of clients who depend on what you've built, including large government entities and huge corporations.
If I were in this situation, I would focus on the book of clients I already have at hand, which likely contains the new revenue stream I need. To access that revenue, I would hire a client success manager. This individual should be hired for their intellect and be much more than just an inbound salesperson. By taking a hard look at my licensing and pricing model, while also strongly connecting with my clients, this customer success manager would provide invaluable insights that would allow me to significantly expand my current account values.
A customer success manager would consider myriad contributing factors: What is the average revenue per paying customer? When obvious and hidden costs are considered, are all accounts actually making profit? These are the kinds of key performance indicators that this individual can really dig into with you. He or she can also experiment by, say, taking a subset of my clientele and rolling out a new pricing strategy and structure. If this pilot proves cash positive, then the learnings could be applied to the whole lot – a dance of experimentation and implementation that I have found pays meaningful dividends over time.

About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Until about 1608, he wrote mainly tragedies, among them Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy in his lifetime. However, in 1623, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, John Heminges and Henry Condell, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that included all but two of his plays. The volume was prefaced with a poem by Ben Jonson, in which Jonson presciently hails Shakespeare in a now-famous quote as "not of an age, but for all time".Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Shakespeare's works have been continually adapted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain popular and are studied, performed, and reinterpreted through various cultural and political contexts around the world.

Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
His reasons are as two grains of wheat his in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
Every why hath a wherefore.
Do not banish reason for inequality; but let your reason serve to make the truth appear where it seems hid, and hide the false seems true.
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
