Judge Regrets Harsh Human Toll Of Mandatory Minimum Sentences
By Carrie Johnson,
Marisa Peñaloza
Judge John Gleeson says, about mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, "people in Congress meant well. ... But it just turns out that policy is wrong."
It seems long ago now, but in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, murders and robberies exploded as cocaine and other illegal drugs ravaged American cities.
Then came June 19, 1986, when the overdose of a college athlete sent the nation into shock just days after the NBA draft. Basketball star Len Bias could have been anybody's brother or son.
Congress swiftly responded by passing tough mandatory sentences for drug crimes. Those sentences, still in place, pack federal prisons to this day. More than half of the 219,000 federal prisoners are serving time for drug offenses.
"This was a different time in our history," remembers U.S. District Judge John Gleeson. "Crime rates were way up, there was a lot of violence that was perceived to be associated with crack at the time. People in Congress meant well. I don't mean to suggest otherwise. But it just turns out that policy is wrong. It was wrong at the time."
From his chambers in Brooklyn, a short walk from the soaring bridge, Gleeson has become one of the fiercest critics of mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes.
"Mandatory minimums, to some degree, sometimes entirely, take judging out of the mix," he says. "That's a bad thing for our system."
The rail-thin Gleeson made his name as a prosecutor. He's a law-and-order man who had no problem sending mobster John Gotti to prison for life. But those long mandatory sentences in many drug cases weigh on Gleeson.
Mandatory minimums, to some degree, sometimes entirely, take judging out of the mix. That's a bad thing for our system.
The judge sprinkles his opinions with personal details about the people the law still forces him to lock up for years. In one case, he points out, the only experience a small-time drug defendant had with violence was as a victim.
"We talk about numbers, but at the end of the process it's not a number that's getting the sentence," Gleeson says. "It's a person, a person with a family from a community."
Bill Otis is another former federal prosecutor with a very different view. "People are in prison because of their own bad choices," he says.
Otis worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration and in the George H.W. Bush White House. He says the 1980s "tough on crime" strategies helped push crime to today's record lows.
People are in prison because of their own bad choices.
"There is a reason that stiff sentencing came about," Otis says. "It was an answer to the crime wave during the '60s and '70s. And the answer has been successful. People are safer now than they were at any time since the baby boomers were in grade school."
That's true — but no one knows whether locking up so many nonviolent drug offenders made the difference, according to New York University law professor Rachel Barkow.
"This wonderful crime drop we're experiencing right now, sadly, criminologists can't tell you exactly why it's happening," says Barkow, who also sits on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the group that sets sentencing guidelines for federal crimes.
To her young law students, Barkow says, she stresses this idea.
"Imagine if I gave you a four-year sentence that would mean your entire college stretch, you would be away in prison," she says. "You'd miss all those birthdays, you'd miss the passing of loved ones, you would miss things that happen in your family's lives that you can't get back."
Then, Barkow says, she asks her students to imagine going to prison for 10 years, or 20, or the rest of their lives — and whether those drug crimes fit that punishment.
At his Virginia home, where an old basset hound named Moe settles near his feet, Otis says he worries more about the victims of crime.
"Crime causes a huge amount of human suffering," Otis says. "It makes people feel insecure where they're walking, in their homes. It makes them feel distrustful and vulnerable. That human suffering counts."
More and more, lawyers and judges and members of Congress are having this very debate. Keeping communities safe — protecting the public — is the main goal. But it costs nearly $7 billion a year to house so many people in federal prison. Lawmakers have introduced bipartisan legislation dialing back some of the penalties. But so far nothing has been passed.
Back in Brooklyn, Judge Gleeson walks into courtroom C6, where he greets the lawyers and asks for jurors to file in for service. Gleeson is overseeing a trial by jury today. But he says that's rare.
In the current system, only 3 percent of federal cases ever go to trial. He says prosecutors can use the threat of mandatory minimums to coerce guilty pleas and long sentences.
"Plea bargains are struck in the United States attorney's office — nobody sees them happen, there's no transparency," Gleeson says. "Transparency in and of itself is a very important value in our system, and we don't have enough of it. The trials are disappearing."
Then, there's the issue of what to do about people already in prison. The Justice Department and the White House have invited thousands of prisoners who committed nonviolent drug crimes to apply for early release or pardons.
That effort is called Clemency Project 2014. But many people, including Barkow, worry that it won't make much of a dent.
"I think at best Clemency Project 2014 is a Band-Aid," she says.
Barkow says the Justice Department — which puts people in prison in the first place — is the wrong agency to consider whether to let them out.
"I mean, no sane government designer would say, 'Well, where should we put clemency? Well, how about we give it to the prosecutors who brought the cases in the first place?' It's crazy," Barkow adds.
Lawyers tell NPR the administration is expected to announce that it will grant clemency to a modest number of nonviolent drug offenders this holiday season.

(Redirected from Fatherland)
This article is about native lands. For the TV series, see Homeland (TV series). For other uses, see Homeland (disambiguation).
A homeland is a place where a cultural, national, or racial identity has formed. The definition can also mean simply one's country of birth.[1] When used as a proper noun, the Homeland, as well as its equivalents in other languages, often has ethnic nationalist connotations. A homeland may also be referred to as a fatherland, a motherland, or a mother country, depending on the culture and language of the nationality in question.

MotherlandEdit

"Motherland" redirects here. For other uses, see Motherland (disambiguation).
Further information: Metropolis
Motherland refers to a mother country, i.e. the place in which somebody grew up or had lived for a long enough period that somebody has formed their own cultural identity, the place that one's ancestors lived for generations, or the place that somebody regards as home, or a Metropole in contrast to its colonies. People often refer to Mother Russia as a personification of the Russian nation. The Philippines is also considered as a motherland which is derived from the word "Inang Bayan" which means "Motherland". Within the British Empire, many natives in the colonies came to think of Britain as the mother country of one, large nation. India is often personified as Bharat Mata (Mother India). The French commonly refer to France as "la mère patrie";[2] Hispanic countries that were former Spanish colonies commonly referred to Spain as "la Madre Patria". Romans and the subjects of Rome saw Italy as the motherland (patria or terrarum parens) of the Roman Empire, in contrast to Roman provinces.[3][4] Turks refer to Turkey as "ana vatan" (lit: mother homeland.)
FatherlandEdit
"Fatherland" redirects here. For other uses, see Fatherland (disambiguation).

Fatherland is the nation of one's "fathers", "forefathers" or ancestors. The word can also mean the country of nationality, the country in which somebody grew up, the country that somebody's ancestors lived in for generations, or the country that somebody regards as home, depending on how the individual uses it.[5]
It can be viewed as a nationalist concept, in so far as it is evocative of emotions related to family ties and links them to national identity and patriotism. It can be compared to motherland and homeland, and some languages will use more than one of these terms.[6] The national anthem of the Netherlands between 1815 and 1932, "Wien Neêrlands Bloed", makes extensive use of the parallel Dutch word, as does the current Dutch national anthem, Het Wilhelmus.
The Ancient Greek patris, fatherland, led to patrios, of our fathers and thence to the Latin patriota and Old French patriote, meaning compatriot; from these the English word patriotism is derived. The related Ancient Roman word Patria led to similar forms in modern Romance languages.
"Fatherland" was first encountered by the vast majority of citizens in countries that did not themselves use it during World War II, when it was featured in news reports associated with Nazi Germany.[7][8] German government propaganda used its appeal to nationalism when making references to Germany and the state.[7][8] It was used in Mein Kampf,[9] and on a sign in a German concentration camp, also signed, Adolf Hitler.[10]
The term fatherland (Vaterland) is used throughout German-speaking Europe, as well as in Dutch. National history is usually called vaderlandse geschiedenis in Dutch. Another use of the Dutch word is well known from the national anthem, "Het Wilhelmus".
In German, the word became more prominent in the 19th century. It appears in numerous patriotic songs and poems, such as Hoffmann's song Lied der Deutschen which became the national anthem in 1922. Because of the use of Vaterland in Nazi-German war propaganda, the term "Fatherland" in English has become associated with domestic British and American anti-Nazi propaganda during World War II. This is not the case in Germany itself, where the word remains used in the usual patriotic contexts.

Uses by countryEdit
The Soviet Union created homelands for some minorities in the 1920s, including the Volga German ASSR and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. In the case of the Volga German ASSR, these homelands were later abolished and their inhabitants deported to either Siberia or the Kazakh SSR.
In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security was created soon after the 11 September 2001, terrorist attacks, as a means to centralize response to various threats. In a June 2002 column, Republican consultant and speechwriter Peggy Noonan expressed the hope that the Bush administration would change the name of the department, writing that, "The name Homeland Security grates on a lot of people, understandably. Homeland isn't really an American word, it's not something we used to say or say now".[15]
In the apartheid era in South Africa, the concept was given a different meaning. The white government had designated approximately 25% of its non-desert territory for black tribal settlement. Whites and other non-blacks were restricted from owning land or settling in those areas. After 1948 they were gradually granted an increasing level of "home-rule". From 1976 several of these regions were granted independence. Four of them were declared independent nations by South Africa, but were unrecognized as independent countries by any other nation besides each other and South Africa. The territories set aside for the African inhabitants were also known as bantustans.[citation needed]
In Australia, the term refers to relatively small Aboriginal settlements (referred to also as "outstations") where people with close kinship ties share lands significant to them for cultural reasons. Many such homelands are found across Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. The homeland movement gained momentum in the 1970 and 1980s. Not all homelands are permanently occupied owing to seasonal or cultural reasons.[16] Much of their funding and support have been withdrawn since the 2000s.[17]
In Turkish, the concept of "homeland", especially in the patriotic sense, is "ana vatan" (lit. mother homeland), while "baba ocağı" (lit. father's hearth) is used to refer to one's childhood home. (Note: The Turkish word "ocak" has the double meaning of january and fireplace, like the Spanish "hogar", which can mean "home" or "hearth".)[citation needed]
Land of one's homeEdit
In some languages, there are additional words that refer specifically to the place where one is home to, but is narrower in scope than one's nation, and often have some sort of nostalgic, fantastic, heritage connection, for example:
In German language, heimat.
In Japanese language, kokyō, or, furusato (故郷), or kyōdo (郷土).
In Chinese languages, 故乡; 故鄉; gùxiāng or 家乡; 家鄉; jiāxiāng.
In Vietnamese language, cố hương.
In Korean language, 고향, gohyang, 故鄕.

Everywhere we look these days Amy and I are seeing double! In the form of twins, that is. From the Return of the Blackwell Brothers series to our upcoming Holiday releases in the 12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas anthology, Amy and I have been talking and thinking and writing about twins. All this twin-ness means we've picked up some interesting tidbits. As if twins aren't already super cool as it is, here are some fun facts we thought were worth repeating.
Almost completely identical, but not quite!
While the DNA make-up of identical twins is 99.9% the same, they have different fingerprints and bite marks.
There are 7 different types of twins.
That twin bond is real!
Studies show that twins begin interacting in the womb as early as 14 weeks, seemingly being as gentle to one another as they are to themselves.
Fraternal twins can be half-siblings.
Although rare, it is possible for twins to have two different dads.
Twinsburg, Ohio hosts TwinsDay Festival every year, the world's largest annual gathering of twins. 2018 marks the 43rd year for this celebration.
If you want a twin, be a twin.
Twin girls are twice as likely to give birth to twins themselves.
By waiting until your 30's to get pregnant when your chances of conceiving twins increases.
And drinking your milk. Studies suggest that women who consume dairy are more likely to have twins. Here's more info on these fascinating findings click here.
Fellow Heartwarming author Amy Vastine is married to an identical twin!
The Return of the Blackwell Brothers series has a whole lot of twins going on! In Amy's book, The Rancher's Fake Fiancée (book 4), hero Tyler Blackwell is a twin. Anna J Stewart writes about his twin, Chance Blackwell, The Rancher's Homecoming (book 5). Cari Lynn Webb and Melinda Curtis feature twin heroes in The Rancher's Rescue (book 3) and The Rancher's Redemption (book 4). And The Rancher's Twins (book 1), my hero Jon Blackwell has twin girls.
And still Amy and I couldn't get enough!
We are excited to bring you identical twin sisters, Jax and Evelyn Marshall, in the upcoming 12 Days of Christmas stories. While these two sisters adore each other, they are different in very fun ways!
As the maid of honor for a Christmas Eve wedding, Evelyn Marshall plans to give the bride and groom something special - a hope chest that they'll want to pass on down through the generations. The only problem is that the bride didn't give her much time to plan for such a gift. When Evelyn's rush order gets cancelled, a friend suggests the help of the new high school woodworking teacher.
Felix Spencer came to Christmas Town to start over after the end of his marriage. He has no desire to let anyone get close again. Evelyn's request is easy to turn down until one of his wayward students shows some interest in helping out. Can a troubled teen and a hope chest bring these two opposites together? In Christmas Town, anything is possible!
For more information on Amy Vastine & Carol Ross, including a complete list of their books, please visit their websites!
What about you guys? Do you have any twins in your life or maybe some fun double-the-trouble stories to share?
Hi, Cathy! I've read that statistic, too, and I can understand why you'd stop at two kids. Lol. I think it would awesome if your daughter had twins! Wouldn't it be fun to be a grandma to twins?
I have twin grand-daughters. My youngest daughter. She and husband have the only twins on either side of the family that we can tell. The girls aren't identical and in fact are different in many ways. But they do share that bond. They're in college now, but chose different colleges and have different life interests. It's fun being their grandmother.
Hi Roz! How fun to be twin grandma! I'm glad they are off doing their own thing but staying close. I feel so lucky to have a connection with my sisters. I can't imagine how it would feel to have a twin!
This is so interesting! I had no idea there were so many different types of twins. I'm still not sure I understand how that half-identical thing happens. There were three sets of twins in my high school class of 104, two fraternal and one identical, and I always thought they were fascinating.
Thank you, Beth! This has been some really fun research. That seems like a lot twins for such a small class. My graduating class had 101 and there were no twins.
I can attest to the strong bond between twins. Fraternal girl twins made the first four years of my elementary a daily nightmare. The one was especially bad, and could rope the other into doing all sorts of nastiness. I stood up to the dominant one in my fifth year once I realized she wasn't as witty as me, and that pretty well took care of the problem. So yeah, twins can be heroes, but they can also make for villains, too.
I have identical twin aunts and I could never tell them apart. Ever! Sometimes, their own children couldn't either!
Wow, LeAnne, that is so cool. It seems like it often gets easier to tell twins apart as they get older. It would be interesting to talk to their kids and see how it felt to have a mom who looked so much like their aunt.
Such a fun idea to write about twins! Twins don't run in my family, but one of my son's good friends has a twin. Those two kids are so cute together!
Thanks, Claire. It's been fun to read about twin stuff. There really is something extra cute about them.

Repertoire Note
Prokofieff's The Gambler can be viewed as the culmination of the composer's early radical and experimental period, with its mechanistic ostinatos and febrile energy, perfectly attuned to Dostoyevsky's study of obsession. The casino, as a potent symbol of unexpected financial gain or ruin, emerges in the final act as the central character of the opera, controlling the destiny of all those that are drawn to the gambling tables, like moths to a flame. Prokofieff intended the work as a reaction against Romantic lyricism, instead preferring to create "an opera in the declamatory style", closer in technique to the stageworks of Dargomyzhsky and Mussorgsky which set musical prose in natural speech rhythms. The Gambler provides an opera company with a potential ensemble showcase, from the two main roles of Alexei and Pauline calling for top rank singing actors, through a gallery of cameo characters, to opportunities for members of the chorus in the casino tableau. From the opening bars the work also announces a crucial role for the orchestra, driving the action forward, and depicting in swirling splashes of colour the fateful spinning of the roulette wheel.

Park district closes door on 'real estate matter'
For the second month in a row, the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board concluded a regular meeting by closing the doors to the public for a discussion about an unidentified "real estate matter."
The board of directors added the executive session to the agenda of the June 23 regular meeting at the last minute and did not reveal any details at the time. The Colorado Open Meetings Law has strict rules about closing meetings to the public, but boards can do so in the case of real estate and personnel matters.

The youths attended a seminar July 1 at the Evergreen Library with henna artist Kandra Churchwell. Churchwell, who works professionally as a graphic artist, has learned to work with henna dye and spent an hour in the packed room helping girls and boys master the ancient art.
In her 15-minute introductory lecture, Churchwell explained that henna body art is something that she and her family do for fun.
Longtime hospice director Walthers stepping down
Louisa Walthers, who has served as executive director of Mount Evans Hospice and Home Health Care for the past 24 years, has announced plans to step down at the end of August.
Walthers, 54, joined the agency as its second director 24 years ago, only five years after it was founded. At that time, Mount Evans had a $300,000 annual budget and served three counties out of a two-room office in the Evergreen North shopping center.
Walthers will be leaving an agency with its own building, serving four mountain counties and operating on a $3 million budget.
Fireworks at the Little Bear: Couple marry a year later after chance meeting sparked romance
On Independence Day 2008, Crystal Lovell and Peter Harnden met for the first time while occupying neighboring bar stools at the Little Bear.
One year later, on July 4, 2009, they both gave up their independence — taking wedding vows at the very same spot.
The local pair exchanged their vows in front of customers, friends and relatives in a nontraditional wedding with a "black sheep" theme.
The bride wore tidy blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a turquoise necklace, with earrings to match.
Fresh and friendly: Two farmers markets bring adventurous offerings to Evergreen each week
Both farmers markets in Evergreen offer a bountiful harvest of small pleasures: shopping outdoors, chatting with vendors, loading up on fresh asparagus, and discovering your neighbor got downsized and is now making ecologically correct detergent or toddler pants for a living.
The Evergreen Farmer's Market operates downtown on Mondays, and the Evergreen Farmers' Market in the Bergen Village shopping center, which was originally founded in the parking lot of the El Rancho Walmart in 2000, is open on Tuesdays.
Mountain movie magic: Evergreen residents line up behind local indie producer
It's a story as old as romance: Stinging from a recent breakup, an ordinarily passive woman lets a more gonzo friend drag her to a local honky-tonk for a little re-immersion therapy. The beer runs cold, emotions run hot, the band is smokin', and when she spies her one-time lover burning it up on the dance floor with his new flame, things heat up fast.
Just another Saturday night in downtown Evergreen?
Former county contractor will testify for Zinna in wiretapping lawsuit
A federal wiretapping lawsuit against former Jeffco commissioner Jim Congrove became more interesting June 26 when a defendant in the case settled with the plaintiff and agreed to testify against Congrove and the other defendants.
Mike Zinna, a longtime county critic, is suing Congrove, private investigator Daril Cinquanta, former deputy county attorney Duncan Bradley and Robert Cook in federal court. Zinna alleges the men illegally intercepted his personal e-mails and posted them to a website used to defame Zinna.
Commissioners nix charity bike ride on Deer Creek Canyon Road
The Jefferson County commissioners have denied a special-event permit for a charity bicycling event Sept.13 on Deer Creek Canyon Road.
Tuesday's 2-1 decision came after two hearings, the first of which Commissioner Faye Griffin did not attend, and after numerous objections from canyon residents.
Commissioners Kathy Hartman and Griffin voted against issuing a special-event permit, deeming the two-lane road unsafe for the event and citing hostilities between motorists and bicyclists.
State budget woes haven't trickled down to Jeffco - yet
Budget cuts hitting Colorado hard aren't expected to have an immediate impact on county operations, but Jeffco officials are concerned that human services programs could be hurt down the road.
State budget officials announced last week that the state would have to close a $384 million budget gap heading into fiscal 2009-10, which begins July 1.


BOSTON - State governors meeting in Boston this weekend had plenty on their minds, from the Gulf oil spill to Arizona's border security controversy. But the economy -- and another year of fiscal pain -- topped the bill.
After two years of deep cuts, states still face large deficits going into their 2011 fiscal years. With the need to keep budgets balanced from year to year, that has meant cutting services and jobs, raising taxes, borrowing and dipping into rainy-day stabilization funds.
"We have used our rainy-day fund because we considered it to be pouring down rain," Washington Governor Christine Gregoire said at the National Governors Association meeting.
Gregoire, a Democrat, has needed to cover a combined $12 billion shortfall in Washington over three years, on an annual budget of roughly $32 billion.
A biannual report, The Fiscal Survey of States, released by the NGA in June, showed fiscal year 2010 was the toughest for state budgets since the Great Depression. Combined state budgets tumbled by more than 10 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2010, a drop of some $74 billion.
State revenue typically lags behind any national recovery, meaning for 2011, "states will have to make additional spending cuts or increase taxes to close their budget gaps, actions that will slow the economic recovery," the report said.
Yolanda Kodrzycki, an economist at the Boston Federal Reserve, warned that many towns and cities will be crying out for more help from the states in 2011, when falling property tax revenues threaten to choke off municipal budgets.
"You have a tough fiscal environment. Next year will be at least as tough," said Kodrzycki, director of the Boston Fed's New England Public Policy Center.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie opened the three-day meeting with a blistering attack on public service unions and resumed that theme on Saturday. The Republican said it was galling "that one sector of our population" had been protected from the recession.
Many governors kept up pressure on Congress to continue for another six months the additional Medicaid benefits that have been part of the federal stimulus bill.
Congress has stalled action on bills worth about $40 billion to help states pay for Medicaid programs and to retain teachers. State aid from 2009's $787 billion stimulus package is due to run out at the end of this fiscal year.
Some states, including Illinois and Pennsylvania, included millions of dollars in prospective payments in their recently enacted fiscal 2011 budgets and would face the need to cut jobs if the funds are not available.
Supporting the Medicaid budget would be a short-term but badly needed fix for the states, said Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe, a Democrat.
Even so, "we can't be hypocrites and ask the federal government to bail us out of everything and then decry deficit spending," Beebe said.
"Discussions on redesigning government always come down to 'how you deal with supply side issues' but what about the 'demand side issues,' regarding what services the public expects the government is going to pay for?" he said.
For programs like Medicare, "you're going to have to trim back what (that) provides, to more basic services."
The NGA meeting is often a showcase for governors to step up onto the national stage.
One high-profile governor skipping the meeting was Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty, discussed as a potential Republican presidential contender in 2012. Pawlenty instead visited neighboring New Hampshire, a state pivotal to national politics, for the third time in seven months.
The NGA meeting drew a small crowd protesting Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and her state's new law ordering police to crack down on illegal aliens. Others carried signs expressing support for Brewer.
The Arizona immigration law is set to take effect July 29 but is being challenged by the federal government.
"From comments that I've heard, many, many are supporting the state of Arizona because they too understand the problems and the issues that we face, because our border is not secure," Brewer said.

WEF's Global Competitiveness Ranking Shows Canada In Long-Term Slide
The Huffington Post Canada
GeoStock via Getty Images
Canada isn't being innovative enough, and that's costing the country its ranking on a global measure of competitiveness.
The World Economic Forum (WEF)'s competitiveness ranking for 2014 places Canada in 15th place, down one from last year. As recently as 2009, Canada had been in ninth place.
Compare that to the U.S., which as recently as 2012 ranked seventh, but this year took third place. Switzerland and Singapore retained their positions as the first and second most competitive economies, respectively.
The ranking measures countries according to 12 "pillars," including the strength of its institutions, education, innovation and business sophistication.
Canada saw some of its lowest scores in the innovation category. It placed 27th on research and development and 52nd on foreign investment, out of 144 countries measured.
WEF chief economist Jennifer Blanke said Canada has strong foundations for a competitive economy -- it has solid institutions, well developed childhood education and a stable political environment. But it's in the more sophisticated areas where the country falls behind many of its developed peers.
"Canada really gets the basics right. That's not to be taken lightly, because a lot of countries don't," Blanke said, as quoted at the Globe and Mail. "But in the more complex issues, that's where Canada is struggling."
"Canada must improve its overall competitiveness performance so that we can sustain our high quality of life and create opportunities for future generations," Daniel Muzyka, president and CEO of the Conference Board of Canada, which had partnered with the WEF in the competitiveness study.
"Failure to do so will put pressure on our standard of living and the things that we, as Canadians, cherish, including our health care, education, and social security systems."

Dave Weckl Band — The Rhythm of the Soul
(Stretch Records SCD-9016-2, 1998, CD)
by Mike Ezzo, Published 1999-11-01
Back when I was in college, Weckl was God to every star-struck drummer who ever picked up a pair of sticks. His years behind the kit in both of Chick Corea's bands allowed him ample opportunity to display his surfeit drum chops and sky's-the-limit outlook - a sort of Steve Gadd pushed to greater technical extremes. Here he appears fronting his own ensemble, and though I know not how many previous albums he has completed, I no longer relish the thought of another slice of his music. To make my biases known: I prefer fusion with a sting of uniqueness that makes Brand X, Dixie Dregs, or Mahavishnu Orchestra so special. But Weckl's CD sounds like it could have been made by any random set of studio musicians you'd care to stick in a room together, at any time between 1982 and 1999. Eleven instrumental tunes, co-penned by Weckl and keyboardist Jay Oliver, make up the recording, which seems aimed at drummers wishing to study Weckl in detail, credits listing every piece of equipment, even down to his brand of sticks, heads, and shoes! If I had to capture the essence in one word, I would choose "orthodox." His band, consisting of guitar, bass, sax, and keys, plays in a commercial Tower of Power mode of 80s funk/fusion that leaves hardly a nook or cranny of room for originality. Behind the kit, Weckl usually keeps a steady supportive backbeat, complemented by the odd snare accent on an off-beat. At a certain point in each tune (almost without exception) you can expect that either he, or the bassist, will burst into a flurry of two or four-bar solo phrases. These highlights however are a sort of double-edged sword insofar as the flashy fills and soloistic drum breaks (impeccably executed though they are) inexorably serve to reveal the uneventfulness of the compositional substance. Furthermore, I had hoped a player of his stature would show a bit of cavalier, daredevil risk-taking, whereas here everything comes across as strictly calculated; as if every moment were rehearsed. Some of the quieter moments are perhaps more original, and more to my liking, but on the whole only those whose motive is to study how Weckl approaches a certain tempo or meter (how he works his fills and solos into these kinds of grooves) will benefit from a recording like this.

Green Seagulls Get Their Psych On

(more)ee head down the rabbit hole to investigate weird and wonderful events from pop culture, science, and history. Under their microscope are topics as diverse as jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists, and crazy World War II weapons. In each episode the hosts immerse themselves in experiments, builds, and tests as they sleuth the truth behind these and other well googled themes.
When is White Rabbit Project back?


First, you will want to consider a comprehensive list of programs that might be a good fit for you. There are several resources available that provide information about graduate programs (e.g., Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology by John C. Norcross and Michael A. Sayvette). It will be helpful to start a spreadsheet containing information about programs that are potential matches for your interest.
You may wish to consult your list (or spreadsheet if you have created one) and determine which programs are good fits for you. Important things to consider may include the type of research being conducted, degree of emphasis on clinical activities vs. research, theoretical orientation, practicum opportunities, whether the program meets the Houston Conference Guidelines, program outcomes, quality of life, geographic location, size of cohort, and financial assistantship. It can also be helpful to select programs that vary in difficulty or acceptance rates.
Are neuropsychological assessment and/or intervention opportunities available?
Do you wish to specialize in pediatric, adult, or geriatric neuropsychology?
Do you wish to ensure you have more generalized neuropsychology training?
Do you wish to have inpatient training in addition to outpatient training?
Finally, after you have a list of programs that you are interested in, you may want to contact your potential mentor at each institution. Although this is not necessary, it is important to remember that advisors are not always able to take new students. By emailing a faculty member you can determine whether they are accepting new students. Additionally, this may open a dialogue between you and the faculty member about research (and the program more generally), thereby giving you useful information for determining your final list of schools!
Information about the GRE can be found at http://www.ets.org/gre. The earlier you commit to a test date, the more you will be able to set and execute small goals to prepare for the exam. Additionally, you may wish to take the exam early enough so that, if you are dissatisfied with your score, you can retake the exam before applications for graduate programs are due.
Determine whether any of the programs you are applying to require the Psychology GRE. If they do, consider when to schedule a test date for this as well. It is important to note that the Psychology GRE is offered rather infrequently – typically only three times per year – so you will want to plan ahead. If none of your programs require the GRE, you may also wish to take the test and submit your score. This may be helpful in the event that your undergraduate major was not psychology!
It is important to focus on your CV early. This will be important because it will give you time to seek feedback from one or two mentors. Additionally, you will want a relatively polished CV to send to letter writers before they write your letters of recommendation. Please see the Pre-Doctoral Student Resources for more information about how to prepare a successful CV.
Take time to review your list of programs and see if any of these programs require any additional materials. For example, some may wish to see an additional writing sample, and you will want some time to select which writing sample to use. If you have any published manuscripts, these would be an ideal submission. If you do not have any published manuscripts (Don't worry!) find another writing sample from one of your undergraduate courses – preferably from a psychology course. Finally, you will want to request transcripts from any institutions you have attended (e.g., undergraduate programs or terminal masters programs).
Try to request letters as early as possible, but ensure that you have provided your letter writers with at least one month to prepare. When possible, you should provide your letter writers with (1) your transcripts, (2) your CV, (3) a list of the programs you will be applying to, and (4) your personal statement. Your letter writers may not need all of those materials, but the more information you can provide them with, the better (and more focused) their letter of recommendation will be. As the deadline gets closer, you may wish to follow-up with your letter writers to see if they have any questions and to make sure that they are on track to submit your letters in a timely manner.

YORK, PA — Yesterday was the first day of Spring — and it hasn't stopped snowing since. By the time it ends, it's forecast that over a foot of white stuff will have fallen. Talk about a curve ball — I just planted seeds for my garden. I won't be planting them for at least another week, thanks to the snow.
WHITE DINING: The view from our dining room. The snow is still falling, with another 3-5 inches expected by nightfall. It's a fantastic interruption, a reminder to sloooooow down.
Snow is a great reminder to slow down. Not just for driving safety, but in all of life. This much snow also acts as a great sound deadener — reminding me to talk less and listen more.
I tend to talk a lot, and God is teaching me to listen much, much more. I find that the more I keep my mouth shut, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more productive I am for everyone. I'm not use to anybody if all I do is talk.
And now it's time for me to close the laptop, layer up, and go play with my sons in the snow. Before I know it, summer will be here — and I'll never have this chance, courtesy of an interruption, again. Carpe diem!
Life is filled with unexpected interruptions. Are you avoiding them or looking for ways to let them teach you the things you need to learn?


The majority of roofs today are shingled with asphalt shingles. In fact, roughly 70% of homes have asphalt shingles. Part of their popularity lies in the fact that they are maintenance free and come in a wide array of design and color options. Topping that off, asphalt shingles are reasonably priced and easy to repair. These shingles come in various grades and qualities. Up to 50-year shingles, to 30 year shingles, to 20 year shingles, right down to 15 year shingles.
Cedar shingles or shakes offer the unique look of wood. If untreated cedar shakes with weather and fade into a silver gray. Properly installed this roofing material can last up to 35 or 40 years! While cedar shingles are easy to install, they are more expensive than regular asphalt shingles. Repairs are also easy to make with wood shingles. Cedar shingles are a great option for complicated roofs. They are not ideal for zones that are in a high risk area for fires.
Some of the metal roofing options for your home include corrugated aluminum, stainless steel and copper roofing. Materials are the most expensive side part of a metal roof installation. Installed, you can expect to pay two or three times the price of an asphalt shingled roof for a metal roof. Repairs and challenging and require a professional contractor. Metal roofs are great maintenance free roofing options. Additionally, there are a variety of design and color options with metal.
This premium roofing product comes at a premium price. You can expect to pay from $1000 to $1,500 per square, a square being 100 square feet. Slate has the highest longevity of the roofing materials, lasting well up to eighty years and beyond. It is difficult and costly to repair. It shouldn't be walked on, not only because of the danger of falling, but because walking on the slate tiles could damage them. Repairs should be done by a roofing contractor that specializes in slate installation.
"Elegant" and "long-lasting" are equally important characteristics when choosing a roof to protect your most prized investment—your home. In fact, a stone coated steel roof may be the last roof you ever need in Colorado. The strength and durability of a stone coated steel roof is combined with the versatile good looks of a tile, shake or shingle exterior to give you the widest possible selection. A Stone Coated Steel Roofing System is durable and will offer richness and beauty to enhance your home's appearance.
Tiles roofs have a charm and appeal all their own. They can be made of clay or concrete and come in a range of shapes and colors. Concrete tiles are roughly half the price of clay. Tiled roofs have a long life expectancy, but they call for extra framing to support their tremendous weight. These roofs are fire resistant and maintenance free. However, clay roof tiles are not suitable for cold climates or for complex roofs. They are used more in warmer, southern climates of the U.S.

Few weeks ago I was trying to win a contest at 99designs.com in which a hummingbird was supposed to be the main feature in the logo. Unfortunately for me, the contest holder changed her mind and picked at the end completely different concept, but at least I enjoyed working on this subject and made a couple of interesting logos.

The not loading sap.m.Label, sap.m.Button....so on .
Could please suggest me to avoid this issue.
I have added sap-ui-core.js  at myproject/assets/resources/
Thanks in Advance!

A: As mentioned in the comments the sap.m libraries were missing as resources and in the bootstrap. Keep in mind that sap-ui-core.js is only the starting point
of the UI5 Framework but not the whole framework. Including only this file to your project is not sufficient.
Make sure that you always include all necessary files (Runtime Version) to your ressources. You can get the latest from the official OpenUI5 site. If you only need the sap.m controls you can use the stripped-down UI5 Runtime Mobile version.
A proper bootstrap could look like this:
<script
    id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
    src="path/to/resources/sap-ui-core.js"
    data-sap-ui-theme="sap_bluecrystal"
    data-sap-ui-libs="sap.m">

Qatar, WHO develop virus risk reduction plan for older people

MoI urges public to follow decision to prevent gathering

18,000 beds for Covid-19 to be ready in weeks
Hamad Medical Corporation World Health Organisation COVID-19
Dr Hanadi al-Hamad
* National outreach programme includes elderly telephone reassurance service launched on April 18: HMC
Qatar has collaborated with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to develop a Covid-19 risk reduction plan for older people, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has said.
"Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Global evidence indicates that older adults, especially those with chronic health conditions, are at higher risk of getting severely ill if they contract the virus. Qatar has been a strategic partner in the World Health Organisation's global efforts to develop guidelines and frameworks for interventions that also focus on at risk population groups, such as older persons," HMC said in a statement Tuesday.
A comprehensive plan has been prepared to reach out to the elderly to give them information and help them get the right care, according to Dr Hanadi al-Hamad, the national lead for healthy ageing in Qatar, medical director of Rumailah Hospital and Qatar Rehabilitation Institute, and one of the international experts contributing to the WHO Advisory for Dementia.
Accordingly, an elderly telephone reassurance service has been launched with staff from the Geriatric and Long-term Care Department at HMC contacting people who are 60 years and older, the statement notes.
An additional aim of this initiative is to identify any potential healthcare risks early on and arrange appropriate medical care. This approach aims to reduce the danger of the healthcare issue becoming more acute and possibly requiring hospitalisation, it explains.
"Older people are a vulnerable group as their immunity tends to be lower than younger people, especially if they have other health problems, such as heart or kidney disease, or are being treated for cancer or other illnesses. A less strong immune system means their bodies are less able to fight off a viral infection. As there is no vaccine for this virus, the emphasis worldwide is largely on adopting precautionary measures for prevention and slowing down the transmission of the illness," said Dr al-Hamad.
"It is important for our older population to maintain physical distancing measures outlined by the government for their protection as well as others, and for this to continue during Ramadan and possibly Eid. It is equally important that this is not misinterpreted as social isolation as that could have detrimental effect on our elderly's physical and mental well-being.
Social isolation and limited access to Covid-19-related information or even access to misinformation through various social media channels can compound the challenge of keeping them safe and reducing the need to visit a hospital.
"We have, therefore, developed a comprehensive plan to reach out to the elderly to give them information they may not have seen or understood, and to help them get the right care they need. Whether checking if they have enough medication or reminding them about the importance of social distancing, or just to ask how they are feeling; these important calls are designed to reassure them that their healthcare team is there for them."
As a senior consultant geriatrician, Dr al-Hamad is keenly aware of the challenges that older people with health problems face generally and especially during the current situation that restricts social interaction. While the current precautionary measures are there to reduce the risk of the virus spreading among our older adults, the potential for social isolation can also be difficult for them, the statement adds.
Dr al-Hamad recently teamed up with WHO experts to develop an Infection Prevention and Control Guidance for Long-Term Care Facilities, within the context of Covid-19 outbreak. She is also jointly venturing with the WHO to lay out guidance for older people and Covid-19 with a focus on older people and their households, health and social care workers and the broader community. These efforts are expected to create a positive and long-lasting impact in the care of elderly services.
HMC takes special care of elderly
Hamad Medical Corporation has ensured the continuation of all its services for the elderly across the country, a consultant physician from the Geriatrics Department told Qatar TV Tuesday.
"We have spoken to each of them over the phone to ensure they have adequate knowledge about the new coronavirus (Covid-19) and ways of protection and prevention," explained Dr Amir Ibrahim Abdullah.
The department sees to it that they continue to receive all the due medical, psychological and physical care, in addition to maintaining good nutrition practices.
The virtual elderly people clinic has also been launched to make video calls to check the health status of the elderly and provide the due health care accordingly.
The Urgent Medical Care system for the elderly, launched at Rumailah Hospital, provides them the required care round-the-clock at one location so as to prevent any risk of contracting Covid-19.
They are mostly treated the same day and discharged.

Effect of Initial Films of Copper on Moundless Type Pitting Corrosion of Copper Tubes
Masahiro Sakai, Osami Seri
Copper tubes were immersed for one year in fifteen kinds of synthetic freshwater to reproduce a moundless type pitting corrosion. Most or part of the area of some specimen surfaces changed its color into dark brown for about one week immersion. Such a dark brown area formed in freshwater for about one week immersion is called "initial film" of a copper. The formation of the initial film was accelerated in the test water containing a chloride ion. After one-year immersion tests, moundless type pitting corrosion occurred on the specimen immersed in the test water containing 40 mg SiO2/L, 50 mg SO42−/L, 10 mg Cl−/L and 10 mg HCO3−/L. These pits were located on the boundary of the initial film. The initial film was formed intentionally by one-week immersion in the solution containing silica and chloride ion. Cathodic reductions of the initial film revealed that the thickness of the initial film was about 400 nm of cuprous oxide. The galvanic corrosion test was performed using galvanic couples of a copper tube with the initial film and an as-received copper tube. The galvanic current flew from the copper tube with initial film to the as-received copper tube. This result indicates that the macro-cell formation of the area with an initial film and the area without an initial film causes the moundless type pits on the boundary of the initial film.
Development of a New Design for Corrosion Prevention in NH4HS Environments
Kazuhiro Toba, Koji Kawano, Jun'ichi Sakai
NH4HS corrosion has been a serious problem in oil refining plants. The corrosion rate dramatically increases over a certain concentration of NH4HS. In high pressure plants such as hydrodesulfurization units which are operating in NH4HS environments, leakage caused by corrosion could result in catastrophic disaster. Therefore, in the design phase, corrosion prevention techniques should be considered. In this study, a new design philosophy to prevent NH4HS corrosion in a sour water environment was successfully developed based on simulation techniques.

I believe everyone should visit Singapore at least once in their life. I fell in love with how green and clean the whole city is. Crime rates are the lowest in the world therefore it's considered one of the safest countries.
Singapore is known for its strict laws and ludicrous fines if any laws are broken but despite that it is a lovely country.
Smoking – $200 fine for smoking in public places. If you're a smoker, leave your cigarettes at home. You're better off buying them in Singapore which cost $12 – $15 SGD per package. If you don't declare that you have cigarettes at border patrol and you get caught they will fine you $5 SGD PER CIGARETTE STICK!!!
Electronic cigarettes and vaping are illegal!
Average Temperature during February 26 – March 1st was 85 degrees and humid.
Changi Airport is rated the best airport in the world. I strategically booked flights that had layovers in Singapore just so I can roam around. This airport offers free city tours, movie theaters in select terminals, a Balinese swimming pool, outdoor gardens, and if you're a priority pass member through your Chase Sapphire Reserve, there are PLENTY of lounges to check out.
GRAB is cheaper than Uber. You can link your credit card to GRAB when you're in Singapore.
GRAB from hotel to airport: $24 SGD ($18.30 USD) It was more because it was early in the morning.
If you take a taxi everywhere it can get very expensive. The city buses work great here so be sure to download the app "CityMapper." Go to a 7-11 store and get an EZ-Link top off card. The card itself costs $5 and is non-refundable and you can add whatever amount you want. The majority of the rides I took only cost $0.77 per ride.
**NOTE: When you enter AND exit the bus you must scan your card.
If you didn't already know, I love to drink wine and try new specialty cocktails. Buying alcohol in Singapore is ridiculously expensive so I suggest buying alcohol at duty free before coming here. Let's just say the cheapest bottle of wine at 7-11 was $22 SGD.
Garden By The Bay – an absolute must! I bought my tickets online at klook.com for $17.50 USD. You can click here to purchase the tickets. They scan it right off your phone.
Bugis Street Market – If you like cheap boutiques, then come here!
Hawker Center – La Pau Sat – cheap delicious food. Get the stingray, salted egg squid, shrimp paste cereal crusted chicken wings, and oyster omelette.
I really enjoyed my time in Singapore, and if the cost of living wasn't so expensive I think I could move there! Hopefully this blog will help you around Singapore if you're on a budget like me. Next stop: Bali.


This was a good read from on Yahoo.
As 3G mobile services are set to be rolled out soon in the country, cyber experts sound a word of caution about the high tech enabled mobile phones, which they say are more vulnerable in the world of technology related crimes.
While the next generation technology aims to make life simpler enabling downloading of movies and music within minutes, it can also be used for various unscrupulous activities.
"With 3G, cellphones will have faster broadband Internet and with such speed you can watch television live, make video calls and download music and movies in no time. But through spying software and virus, the hacker can easily break into your system," says Ankit Fadia, an ethical hacker and cyber security expert.
"The hacker can record all the audio conversation and video files. Not many people in India install anti-virus in the phones. I would recommend them to install anti-virus and fireballs while using 3G, says Fadia who recommends switching off the bluetooth function of the phone when not required to protect the user's password.
Not limited to an individual's privacy issues, the 3G technology will also lead to increase in piracy of films and music, thereby giving a staggering amount of losses to the entertainment industry that is battling the piracy threat.
"It will become extremely easy for anybody to download an entire Bollywood film in few minutes using 3G. This is going to lead to further tremendous growth of websites like torrents," says advocate Pavan Duggal, a cyberlaws expert.
The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) points out that Bollywood would be hit most by the 3G and wants service providers to adopt a stricter approach to check cybercrimes.
"Today it takes several hours to download a new release Bollywood film but with 3G it will be in minutes that will encourage people to use illegal means to view a film," says Rakshit Tandon, consultant, IAMAI.
According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers report titled, "Indian 3G broadband subscribers," the mobile subscriber base is projected to cross one billion in 2014. The 3G broadband subscriber base is expected to cross 107 million by 2015.
Indian law enforcement lacks the necessary training to deal with cyber-crimes and there is a distinct need for amending the law and making security agencies aware about the Internet, say experts.
"Laws are there to protect but our police agencies are yet not ready to take-up the cyber crime challenges, especially 3G. They need to be trained to tackle the growing usage of Internet by criminals," says Fadia.
Duggal, who is a Supreme Court lawyer, says there is a distinct need for amending the law so as to provide for far more broad generic provisions which can withstand the onslaught of any other new technology.
"Further adequate statutory protections needs to be given to users so that whatever limited right to privacy they have in the context of the electronic ecosystem are not appropriately compromised with the advent of new technology," he says.
As mobile handsets is becoming an integral part of the consumer experience, the availability of a large number of feature-rich handsets at affordable prices or in attractive bundled offers is likely to further drive the adoption of 3G value-added services, according to a report by RNCOS.

Le cabrales est un fromage fort à pâte persillée élaboré avec du lait cru de vache ou avec un mélange de deux ou trois sortes de lait (vache, brebis et chèvre), spécialité des Asturies dans le nord de l'Espagne. Ce fromage est sous appellation contrôlée depuis 1981.

Fabrication

Le cabrales est un fromage fort et sec, spécialité d'Asturies, dans le nord de l'Espagne. Sa zone de production s'étend sur la commune (concejo) de Cabrales, ainsi que les villages de Cáraves, Oceño et Rozagás (concejo de Peñamellera Alta).

Le cabrales mûrit dans des grottes naturelles situées dans le massif des Picos de Europa, où l'humidité ambiante atteint 90 % et où la température varie entre 8 et 12 °C : ce contexte favorise le développement de micro-organismes de type Penicillium, qui lui donnent sa couleur bleu-vert. Ce processus dure deux à quatre mois. Chaque fromage pèse deux à cinq kilogrammes.

Trois autres fromages à pâte persillée sont produits dans les régions de Picos de Europa : le picón de Valdeón (León), le Gamonéu (Asturies) et le picón Bejes-Tresviso (Cantabrie).

Dégustation

Généralement, ce fromage se déguste volontiers accompagné d'un cidre local. Certains recommandent plutôt un vin rouge intense, comme pour la plupart des chèvres prononcés. Servi avant le dessert, il peut s'accompagner d'un vin de Xérès doux (le cépage par excellence de ces vins très alcoolisés étant le Pedro Ximenez) pour produire une alchimie de saveurs : douce, amère, acide et salée.

Sa dégustation fait apparaître quatre phases. Il suffit de mettre un morceau sous la langue pour les découvrir successivement: picotement de la langue, décollement des gencives, picotement de la gorge et, pour finir, un festival de saveurs dans la bouche du goûteur. Éteindre ces ardeurs par un vin rouge intense est recommandé.

Xavier Domingo, un ancien chroniqueur gastronomique espagnol, affirme que Georges Clemenceau l'incorpora à son plateau de fromages à l'Hôtel Matignon, faisant fi du fait qu'il s'agissait d'un fromage étranger.

Cuisine

Le cabrales sert également à produire la crème de cabrales, à utiliser en cuisine ou à tartiner directement. Cette crème est extrêmement sèche et réservée aux amateurs de fromages forts.
On peut bien entendu utiliser ce fromage pour composer des salades ou pour renforcer des sauces qui serviront à des pâtes.

VERMILLION – Before the season South Dakota women's basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit said several times that senior post player Katie Liveringhouse, a role player last year tucked behind a pair of experienced seniors, was going to get involved in the offense to a much greater degree than she had as a junior.
On Tuesday night against the Creighton Bluejays she scored 18 points in 24 minutes in a 73-68 win in the first home game of the season for the Coyotes, who lost at Iowa State last week in their first game.
Liveringhouse, 5-10 former Bellevue West (Neb.) standout, averaged just 12.3 minutes a game a year ago to go with 4.7 points. Against the Bluejays, she hit right-handed shots, left-handed shots and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers.
"I said this to Allison (Arens) and Ciara (Duffy) yesterday: 'Wow, you guys make me look like I know what I'm doing," Liveringhouse said. "Sometimes I just go somewhere and they get me the ball and they make me look really good."
With Abigail Fogg and Bridget Arens getting most of the minutes at Liveringhouse's spot in Plitzuweit's first year as coach, it appeared likely a phasing out was in process given that the departure of seniors from the 2015-16 squad did not lead to more playing time. She's proving, however, that's not the path she's going to follow in her senior season.
"Kate's played very, very well from the summer on," Plitzuweit said. "She's committed to being her best. You can look at her offense and see she's extended her game. Her first two seasons she took two arc shots and she was 0-for-2. Her first two games this year she's made two each. You can look at that and it's easy to see she's grown her game, but she's also become a much tougher defender."
Creighton, co-Big East champions last year and an NCAA tournament participant, defeated Wichita State in its opening game last week. The Bluejays were picked to finish fourth in the Big East preseason poll and return Aubrey Faber, a first-team preseason Big East pick.
Faber, a 6-2, junior, scored 25 points as a freshman in a WNIT loss to the Coyotes in 2016 and had 16 points in a win over Wichita State last week. USD held her to 15 and the Bluejays to a 37.9 shooting percentage from the field overall.
Playing without senior starter Jasmine Trimboli, who was out with an illness, the Coyotes got 19 points from Allison Arens and filled Trimboli's spot with sophomore guard Madison McKeever, who scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds.
The Coyotes led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter after freshman Monica Arens hit a pair of free throws with 1:20 remaining, then pushed the lead as high as 14 points early in the fourth quarter.
The Bluejays had the margin down to 61-58 at the four-minute mark and 70-66 after a pair of free throws from freshman Temi Carda with 15 seconds remaining.
The problem was that the Bluejays were sending the Coyotes to the line often and USD – which led the nation in free-throw shooting accuracy last year at more than 80 percent, made 19-of-20. Allison Arens hit an impressive 10-of-11.
"Ultimately when you have to make free throws down the stretch, you have some kids who really prosper in that," Plitzuweit said. "We did a good job with that and Allison was one of the kids they fouled and she took advantage of it."


As you approach the fishing village of Shamlapur, near the long, sloping sand beach of Cox's Bazar, the sense that something is wrong grows. Tens of thousands of exhausted people step out of ramshackle boats that have carried them across the Naf River after an arduous journey from Myanmar. Weary and traumatized, they seek shelter anywhere they can — in one school I entered, hundreds, about half of them children, had gathered in silence. There wasn't a cry or a laugh; even the babies were listless and deathly silent.
In just over a fortnight, around 370,000 Rohingya, 80 percent of them women and children, have hazarded the journey from Myanmar's Rakhine state to Bangladesh. They left their homes in panic, fleeing the military's campaign of punitive reprisals in response to a series of attacks by Rohingya insurgents that killed 12. The Myanmar military's retaliation bears no sense of proportion or legality. The violence is the worst that Amnesty International and other human rights groups have documented in this troubled region over the past five years.
The Myanmar authorities have gone to great lengths to prevent independent reporting on the crisis. But satellite images reveal fires that have consumed hundreds of homes. There are credible reports that the Rohingya armed groups sparked some fires of their own, but the vast majority of the homes were targeted and torched by the Myanmar military. Rallying local groups of vigilantes, they encircled entire villages. When the military approached, the survivors of the attacks told me, the soldiers would fire into the air, announcing their arrival. Brandishing wooden sticks, metal poles and long knives, the vigilantes laid siege to the villages. When people tried to flee, the military fired on them.
What is unfolding in Rakhine state is not a careful counter-insurgency operation. What we are seeing can be described as ethnic cleansing, with the Rohingya targeted for their ethnicity and religion. In legal terms, these are crimes against humanity that include the forced displacement of a quarter of all of Myanmar's Rohingya under violent conditions.
"The plight of the Rohingya is anchored in a system of discrimination that has denied them recognition and dignity."
Of the 15 cases of bullet wounds and fatalities that I documented within the first day and a half of arriving here, all but one person was struck in the upper body, torso and arms, causing serious or fatal injuries. When others rushed to help the wounded, they, too, came under attack.
When I sat down to speak to Karam, a young man from Maungdaw, he flinched with discomfort when he tried to settle down into a chair. The wounds he carried were still fresh. He lifted his lungi, a traditional outfit worn by men in Myanmar, to reveal a perfectly symmetrical bruise across his legs. Karam was beaten for trying to rescue his 17-year-old brother, who had been shot in the back by security forces as he tried to flee.
The blows that Karam suffered were so forceful that they left a deep imprint of the metal rods and wooden sticks used to strike his legs. His cracked ribs made it difficult for him to breathe. Karam managed to escape the mob chasing him, taking his brother with him. A group of other Rohingya men tried to help them, with the hope of finding medical attention on the Bangladeshi side. Karam's brother never made it, dying as they crossed a nearby river.
Such testimonies have become depressingly familiar in Bangladesh. Since 1978, successive waves of Rohingya refugees have abandoned their homes amid attacks from the military, to make a desperate journey in the elusive search for safety and dignity. The camps run by the U.N. refugee agency filled up long ago. Even the makeshift shelters where others sought a place to sleep are swollen to capacity. For the new arrivals, there is no obvious place to go. The stories they tell are chillingly consistent with what Amnesty International documented last December, when we concluded that the systematic attacks on the Rohingya amounted to crimes against humanity.
This isn't a new crisis. It has been decades in the making. The plight of the Rohingya is anchored in a system of discrimination that has denied them recognition and dignity. Myanmar's 1982 citizenship law stripped them of the rights everyone should be able to take for granted. The Rohingya, and other ethnic minorities in Myanmar, have been systematically marginalized. In Myanmar, society has long been fractured. The violence we see now is the result.
Aung San Suu Kyi may be in government, but she is not in control. She has asked for time and patience, working in the shadow of an overweening military that still controls key ministries, a quarter of parliament and internal security. The Rohingya, however, do not have time. Aung San Suu Kyi bears a clear moral responsibility that she has long abdicated. Far from speaking out in defense of the suffering Rohingya, or even remaining silent, she has chosen to lend her once authoritative voice as cover for the abuses that are taking place. She has maligned humanitarian workers, accusing them of aiding "terrorists," while denying the human rights violations that are taking place.
The responsibility for this crisis lies principally with the Myanmar military, which has authored and executed a policy of punishing the entire Rohingya community. They must be held accountable for the crimes they have committed. Unless the international community decisively addresses what is happening at their hands, there will be nothing to stop hundreds of more homes from being torched, forcing ever more people to flee.
One of them, Mohammed, showed me a bullet wound in his left leg. He was trying to escape when he was shot. Hiding among the trees, he saw soldiers tie his brother's hands behind his back with string. Later, Mohammed later called his brother's phone to see whether he was okay. A military officer answered, saying, "Your brother has been killed. You can come out of hiding and take him." Unless the international community acts now, all that will be left for the Rohingya in Myanmar will be the bodies of the dead and the ruins of their homes.
Over 580,000 Rohingya have had to flee Myanmar for Bangladesh since the end of August 2017 in order to flee state sponsored violence and killings.

India: Central Bank Weighing the Need to Launch Digital Rupee
It was only a matter of when for the Indian central bank to join the CBDC race.
RBI Exploring the Need for Digital Rupee
According to a booklet on payment systems published by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday, the country's central bank is weighing the necessity for a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Specifically, the RBI said if there is a need for a digital rupee, then it will explore how to operationalize it.
The central bank noted:
"Private digital currencies (PDCs) / virtual currencies (VCs) / crypto currencies (CCs) have gained popularity in recent years. In India, the regulators and governments have been skeptical about these currencies and are apprehensive about the associated risks. Nevertheless, RBI is exploring the possibility as to whether there is a need for a digital version of fiat currency and in case there is, then how to operationalize it."
Notably, this is not the first instance that India's lender of the last resort has made official statements in relation to the launch of a potential CBDC. As previously reported by BTCManager in December 2019, after a series of meetings with other central banks, the RBI revealed it was contemplating the possibility of launching its own CBDC.
At the time, however, RBI governor Shaktikanta Das also noted that was "too early" to talk about a CBDC due to technological barriers. He said:
"As and when the technology evolves with adequate safeguards, I think it is an area where the Reserve Bank will certainly look at seriously at an appropriate time."
Meanwhile, China Continues to Dabble in CBDC
While India is still seemingly in double minds with regard to launching a fully-functional CBDC, neighboring country China has already made considerable progress concerning the same.
As reported in October last year how the residents of Shenzhen had got an opportunity to participate in a lucky draw where the winners would receive $7,500 worth of digital yuan airdrops as part of a CBDC campaign.
Since then, the campaign has only picked up steam with the latest development being that the city of Shenzhen is preparing for its third digital yuan airdrop worth $3 million.
