Today's book is again for all those Epic\Indian History lovers!
'The Peshwa- War Of The Deceivers' by Indian author Ram Sivasankaran. This is the Second book in the Peshwa series.
Plot Summary: Seven years have passed since Peshwa Bajirao Bhat annihilated the Nizam's armies at Fort Mandu. Th two forces have been engaged in attacks and skirmishes ever since. Acting on the advice of his right hand man, the mysterious Anaamik Dabhade, the Peshwa now sets about laying a trap to truly ensnare the Mughals, and break their might.
The empire of course has methods of his own. And Nizam Ul Mulk is itching for an opportunity to exact revenge of the formidable Bajirao. With assassins, saboteurs and criminals infiltrating the Maratha lands, the Mughal Empire scores as many victories in the night as the Peshwa does during the day.
Meanwhile, in the far reaches of the country, set ablaze by the never ending conflict between these major powers, a Sikh warlord, a Rajput king and a Bundela princess find themselves increasingly tangled up in the endgame that will determine the very course of history. It is a battle of wits and skill, and the greatest deceiver of them all will prevail.
About The Author: Ram was born in Madras, India but has spent most of his life abroad, largely in the Middle East and US. He was brought up on stories from Hindu legend and the great epics and classics of both India and the West. He had his master's degree from Stanford University specializing in aeronautics, space environment, astronautics and plasma phenomena. Although, scientist by training, Ram is, at heart, a daydreamer of sorts, who believes deeply in the power of imagination.
This is the second book in the Peshwa series by the author. Although, I have not read the first one but still I decided to read this one and totally enjoyed it. Peshwas Bajirao is quite a prominent name in our Indian history. Specially after the block buster movie, our Indian audience have became much more interested in him! No wonder Bajirao's life was full of twists and turns and thrill..
This book is a nice & fine piece of Indian History Fiction. It will surely make you feel transported to that time and era...I love the amount of detailing in the narration by the author. The story line is thrilling and engaging.
Even the starting scene of Chimaji and Kashiraj on the boat impressed me and aroused my curiosity to read further..
The author surely knows how to tell a story interestingly and make it a page turner!
Having said all the above, this book do require some patience to complete it and enjoy it to its fullest. Would like to highly recommend this book to all the History Fiction lovers!
I am surely looking forward to reading more from the author.
Say No To Plastic By Nanonine!


Because I'm a rarity at Microsoft, a remote employee, I've been conducting experiments in social video to increase my presence from afar.
My first experiment was a dedicated laptop for IM audio and video that sits on my desk in building 5. The idea was that anyone that wanted to chat with me could wander by my office and start an a/v chat w/ me nearly as easily if I was actually in the office. And then, when I'm supposed to be in a meeting, instead of requiring someone to bring their laptop, with a web-cam installed, and give it up to me for the duration of the meeting so that I could see folks, they could just grab the "mini-me" laptop from my desk and bring it to the meeting.
The reason mini-me doesn't work as a stand-in for me in my office is because there's no standard account I can login with on my desktop, e.g. redmond\guest. The reason a standard account would be nice is so that I can leave it logged in all the time, tie its own .NET Passport to the account and put a shortcut on the desktop to make it IM me in video conference mode (I actually wrote an app that does just that). Unfortunately, it has to be an MS domain account so it has network access and if I leave an anonymous domain account logged in on a laptop all the time, that's an enormous security hole. And if I make folks that want a quick chat with me log in themselves, they'll will have to wait for their domain settings to migrate to the laptop, they'll have to login with their own IM account, they'll have to configure the web cam before using it and they'll have to remember to logout when they leave for the next person. Frankly, I'm not worth all that trouble when they could just call, IM or email me.
So, the mini-me laptop is a bust unless I can figure out a way to get Internet access without Intranet access inside the MS corporate Intranet without requiring everyone to log in w/ their own account to get it. Oh, and it has to be in a way that works with wireless so that they can haul mini-me to a meeting without having to haul along a cable, too.
My 2nd experiment in social video went quite a bit better. Last week I gave two 1-hour talks back to back to the AZ .NET User Group, but the trick was, I gave them from my house. The setup was two computers on each side. One was for NetMeeting app-sharing (using MSN Messenger to request Remote Assistance works, too, but I can never get MSN Messenger app-sharing going). The second is for the video (the CPU load was too heavy to do both on one computer). Voice was done over the phone, which they put through their PA system. They also had two computers, both attached to video projectors, broadcasting my screen using one projector and my image using another (can you imagine how disturbing it must have been to see the giant, pixelated maxi-me? I shudder at the thought : ).
The app-sharing worked well, as I was able to easily switch between PowerPoint and a Terminal Services session to my Longhorn box. The audio worked well because I insisted on 2-way audio so I could hear them ask questions (I hate talking into silence). The video was cool, because I could see them raise their hands, drift off, laugh, etc, but it required somebody sweeping the room on their end periodically (talking without seeing your audience is slow death).
Overall, it seems like folks were able to enjoy a remote presenter without too much trouble. Once I got 'em warmed up, the speaker phone and roving camera made Q&A very natural. I would try maxi-me again, although I'd love it if I could get mini-me working, too.

Diary of a PPC: George Freeman (Mid Norfolk)
This is the second in ConservativeHome's new ongoing series in which each week a different PPC will provide us with an insight into life as a candidate and give us a flavour of their own campaign and interests. If you are a candidate and are keen to be featured, please email Jonathan Isaby.
This week's diary is written by George Freeman, the candidate in the completely redrawn constituency of Mid Norfolk - which takes in parts of the existing Mid Norfolk, South West Norfolk and South Norfok constituencies - where he will defend a notional Conservative majority of nearly 8,000. From a farming background, he worked for the NFU's parliamentary unit for five years before moving into business, developing new medical technologies. He achieved a swing of 6.4% when he stood for the Conservatives in Stevenage at the 2005 general election. You can read more about him on his website.
5.45am. Dawn routine. Tiptoe with pint mug of tea up creaky stairs to converted loft office in the attic of our farmhouse in Norfolk for review of the week ahead. Fire up PC and sift mountain of emails. Review and list priorities for the week ahead. Mildly depressed by daunting list of outstanding tasks. I guess all politicians are prone to the same need to matter.
6.45am. Wake the family and embark on the 60-minute morning challenge of getting us all up and dressed and breakfasted and the children onto the 8.00am bus to their new school. The only bit of our life that bears an uncanny resemblance to the cereal ads. At 8.10am the frenzy culminates in my wife Eleanor leaving for work and the house is silent.
Rest of the day in my converted attic office dealing with work projects for clients before the routine mid-week trip to London. My business, 4D Biomedical, is a small biomedical technology consultancy based in Cambridge. Currently working on the business plan for two new research Institutes (Cardiovascular and Digestive Health), advising on the £20m spin-out of a Cambridge biotechnology business, and helping a start-up with an innovative system for transmitting medical images between hospitals using the net instead of couriers.

A-lister George Freeman selected for Mid-Norfolk
ConservativeHome sends congratulations to George and to the Mid Norfolk Tories for repeatedly resisting CCHQ's attempts to quota-ise their selection process.
George's number one choice was the seat of Mid Norfolk and dropped out of at least one other selection race to focus his efforts on this seat.
George fought Stevange at the last General Election and is a practical supporter of a more compassionate brand of conservatism.
6.30pm update on 22/10: Contrary to Iain Dale's report I am told that all 120 seats were occupied at the selection and that some members had to stand. That equals about 30% of qualifying members.

Mid Norfolk continue to insist on doing it their way
On Saturday Mid Norfolk chose two men and two women to go through to the final selection meeting. A half-women shortlist was exactly what CCHQ wanted but the good Tories of Mid Norfolk didn't choose Vicky Ford and Laura Sandys because they had to choose two women. No. They chose them because they decided that they deserved to be in the top four.
The Association rejected Gillian Shephard's instruction (who was acting on behalf of CCHQ) to use a half-women shortlist (according to Central Office's new guidelines) but naturally ended up with a two men, two women shortlist in a much more meritocratic way.
Mid Norfolk also told CCHQ that the whole Association would take part in the final selection - not just the Executive as Gillian Shephard had also attempted to impose.
Mid Norfolk is a model for every Association. If you think people should be shortlisted on merit - not according to a quota - and that every member of the Association has the right to help choose your candidate then stand by your convictions and politely ignore CCHQ's diktats.
Last four for Mid Norfolk
Vicky Ford, George Freeman, Laura Sandys and James Tunbridge.

How One Entrepreneur Is Changing Ukraine One Bowl of Borscht at a Time
UkraineAlert by Kateryna Kruk
Ievgen Klopotenko (center) wants to change the food culture of Ukraine by revamping the catering system in Ukrainian schools which still use old Soviet recipes. Courtesy photo.
A successful entrepreneur, graduate of the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, winner of a popular cooking show, social media influencer, and brand chief at several Kyiv restaurants, it would seem that thirty-one year old Ievgen Klopotenko has it all. However, few know that his most ambitious plan isn't about business. He wants to change the food culture of Ukraine. And the first step, he believes, is reforming the catering system in Ukrainian schools.
"One could wonder why I don't use time devoted for this project for leisure or doing business," laughs Klopotenko. "But I still remember the horrible taste of goulash at the school canteen. Eating at school was pure torture. Besides, I really hate the Soviet Union and everything about it. The school catering system in Ukraine is nothing but Soviet."
As a child, Klopotenko was exposed to international cuisine when his grandmother moved to England and he spent a few weeks in Italy on an exchange program.
After his travels, he returned to the "world of harsh reality," or the school cafeteria. Klopotenko admits he used to sprint across the street to grab a sandwich at home, but his mother, the head teacher, sat next to him, forcing him to eat "hateful liver" instead.
Klopotenko is absolutely right. It is hard to imagine, but in the twenty-seven years since Ukraine became independent, no one has made any changes to the recipes governing school canteens. Even worse, the official cookbook that school cooks are obliged to follow hasn't changed since 1957.
The system needs a change, but not only because of its age. It is simply not tasty, nor is it healthy.
Klopotenko isn't the only one with nightmares of the school canteen; I couldn't find anyone who said they enjoyed school lunches. Children spend half of their day at school, so if they aren't eating at the canteen, they are eating snacks—that is, baked goods or sweets, which should not be the foundation of a schoolchild's diet.
To understand the scale and seriousness of the issue, one should keep in mind that we are talking about almost four million Ukrainian pupils. And Klopotenko has a plan for all of them.
He started from the basics, from the official cookbook for school cooks. "A new cookbook for schools is a starting point… I studied all the ingredients that are used at school canteens and simply improved the recipes. Even the simplest dish can be made tasty and visually appealing. For example, I took the most basic salad with cabbage and added few grams of sunflower seeds. Simple? Yes. But it gives it an absolutely new taste."
Klopotenko really cares that children like the new menu. After he updated all of the school recipes, he went to several test schools where kids could try them. He cooked everything for them himself; he spoke to children and asked their opinions. "After their feedback, I updated the recipes again based on what they like most and what dishes…the children don't even touch."
Now Klopotenko is trying to get the book approved and allowed for use at schools. "The situation is rather peculiar. Since even those who tried to make some changes never went so far [as we have], there is no clear way how to do it. No one [has] cared about changing old Soviet regulations."
Klopotenko sees it as both a challenge and an opportunity. He says he knows what to do next but doesn't want to reveal more details since he has several plans for securing the state's approval.
Although confident he will succeed, Klopotenko is ready to fight if needed. "There are many adequate people in Ukraine, in the state institutions too. But if their goodwill won't be enough, I am ready to fight for the project publicly using the power of social and traditional media," says Klopotenko, adding that he is building his media presence for this effort. "I'm on TV not just for fun. I perfectly understand now that my team and I are growing a 'muscle' to push a project."
Publicity is also needed for another step: to popularize this new book in schools. "We will make special videos explaining to cooks how to cook new dishes. We will make the book available online so every parent can consult it and become our ambassador in their schools. We will tell children about new dishes and how important good food is. Every time children are eating in school canteens now, they are consuming Soviet culture and Soviet attitudes. This must change. I want to open them to new tastes and new food."
Klopotenko sees this project as a major step in improving food culture in Ukraine. "After schools, kindergartens will follow. And after that, I want to change the entire system of public eating."
Those aren't just words: Klopotenko also teaches at one of Kyiv's cooking colleges, is preparing a new cooking methodology and collection of recipes for students, is working on a book about Ukrainian traditional cuisine, and is getting ready to open his own restaurant in Kyiv.
"I want to show Ukrainians what our cuisine could be if the Soviet Union [hadn't] come and destroyed it."

How long does it take to get an immigration court hearing?
How long does it take to appear in immigration court?
How long is an immigration hearing?
What happens at the first immigration hearing?
What are the chances of winning an immigration case?
How do I expedite my immigration court date?
Do immigration lawyers go to court?
How do I prepare for an immigration individual hearing?
Can I go to immigration court without a lawyer?
Is immigration court open to the public?
How long does it take to reopen an immigration case?
How do I win an immigration appeal?
How many immigration cases are pending?
Can you appeal an immigration judge decision?
The time between hearings can be several months. Since there are many cases, most courts cannot just set the next hearing in a couple of weeks. Even for courts which are not overloaded, regular hearings are normally set 2-3 months in advance.
In California, the average time to complete an immigration case is 2-3 years, depending on whether the case involves a criminal conviction (which takes longer).
The immigration court will schedule the individual hearing for a block of time ranging from one to four hours. During the hearing, the court will hear testimony and review evidence presented by you and the ICE attorney.
Your first hearing is the Master Calendar Hearing. An Immigration Judge will be there and so will a government lawyer who is trying to deport you. If you do not speak English well, the Immigration Court must have an interpreter for you. If there is no interpreter, ask for another hearing with an interpreter.
IMPORTANT: Why does Steinbeck say the migrants are needed and they are hated?
Yes, the reality is once served a Notice To Appear at immigration court, the odds of winning are far less than 50-50. But that does not mean you cannot be one of the fortunate ones. Significant differences may exist between your case and the ones you heard about on the news.
You can generally request expedited processing by contacting the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 (TTY for the deaf, hard of hearing, or those having a speech disability: 1-800-767-1833) or by asking Emma after you have obtained a receipt notice.
Immigration lawyers may represent their clients, either individuals or businesses, in court or serve them outside the courtroom by offering legal counsel. However, most rarely frequent the courtroom.
While the Immigration Judge decides how each hearing is conducted, parties should be prepared to:
make an opening statement.
raise any objections to the other party's evidence.
present witnesses and evidence on all issues.
cross-examine opposing witnesses and object to testimony.
make a closing statement.
Unfortunately, immigrants are not eligible for free legal representation from the U.S. government. There are often ways to talk to a volunteer attorney at the first deportation hearing, which is basically a scheduling hearing; but immigrants must hire an attorney to represent them in subsequent hearings.
Immigration court hearings are open to the public, with limited exceptions, as specified in law. The respondent in an asylum case, which by regulation provides for additional privacy protections, requests that the hearing be closed.
IMPORTANT: How does immigration affect international trade?
Normally, a person has 30 days to file a motion to reopen and also a motion to reconsider. The time limit is different for the motion to reopen for cases that are in immigration court. Sometimes they have 90 days to file a motion to reopen.
If you want to win an immigration appeal, following these tips:
Prepare a robust appellant's bundle.
The documentation you provide should prove that you adhered to all the necessary personal immigration rules or that your circumstances are compassionate and compelling to warrant a visa.
Get a robust legal representative.
Immigration Court Cases Vary by State
Population*
Pending Cases
California 39,538,223 193,212
Texas 29,145,505 171,579
New York 20,201,249 149,912
Florida 21,538,187 136,430
Appeals against orders of an immigration judge must be made on Form EOIR-26, Notice of Appeal from a Decision of an Immigration Judge. … The appeal must, in most situations, be submitted with the required fee. As of late 2021, this is $110.

Q: Search through a nested list using an if statement I'm trying to take elements out of a nested list that have values below 50 and the corresponding values with them to display them. I tried making it, but it's giving me nothing.
Here is the code:
newList = ["payroll", "accounting", "security", "office", "sales"]
deptNums = [10 * index for index in range(1, 16)]
deptInfo = [[]]

for row in range(0, len(newList)) :
    deptInfo.append([newList[row], deptNums[row]])
print(deptInfo)

belowFifty = []
for items in deptInfo:
        if (50 > deptNums[row]):
            belowFifty.append(newList[row],deptNums[row])
print(belowFifty)

A: You are not iterating variable 'row' in the second for loop. the scope of variable 'row' ends with the first for loop.A more appropriate code:
newList = ["payroll", "accounting", "security", "office", "sales"]
deptNums = [10 * index for index in range(1, 16)]
deptInfo = [[]]

for row in range(0, len(newList)) :
    deptInfo.append([newList[row], deptNums[row]])
print(deptInfo)

belowFifty = []
for item, number in zip(newList, deptNums):
    if 50 > number:
        belowFifty.append([item, number])
print(belowFifty)

A: You don't need deptInfo.
Just do this:
belowFifty = []
for row in range(len(deptNums)):
    if (50 > deptNums[row]):
        belowFifty.append([newList[row],deptNums[row]])

belowFifty

Output:
[['payroll', 10], ['accounting', 20], ['security', 30], ['office', 40]]

A: There are two issues:
1. You are initializing deptInfo as [[]], hence after the appends you get:
[[],
 ['payroll', 10],
 ['accounting', 20],
 ['security', 30],
 ['office', 40],
 ['sales', 50]]

*You are iterating over the items in deptInfo but trying to check deptNum with indices (row) that was the previous iteration variable, which currently has a value 5, and deptNum[5] has a value of 60, so your if does not check anything. Here is your fixed code:

newList = ["payroll", "accounting", "security", "office", "sales"]
deptNums = [10 * index for index in range(1, 16)]
deptInfo = []

for row in range(0, len(newList)) :
    deptInfo.append([newList[row], deptNums[row]])
print(deptInfo)
belowFifty = []
for items in deptInfo:
        if (50 > items[1]):
            belowFifty.append(items)
print(belowFifty)

Now here's a shortened code:
newList = ["payroll", "accounting", "security", "office", "sales"]
deptNums = [10 * index for index in range(1, 16)]
print([[i,j] for i,j in zip(newList, deptNums) if j < 50])

A: A short-hand approach using list comprehension rather than conventional loops.
Is this what you're after?  This example uses the zip() function and list comprehension.
Basically, the zip function aligns the two lists and iterates them together - so here, we can put your department names and department numbers together and iterate them as a pair.
newList = ["payroll", "accounting", "security", "office", "sales"]
# I edited this to match the length of your department names.
deptNums = [10 * index for index in range(1, len(newList))]

# Use list comprehension to iterate, test and create a new list all in ONE line.
deptInfo = [[num, dpt] for num, dpt in zip(newList, deptNums) if dpt < 50]

Output:
[['payroll', 10], ['accounting', 20], ['security', 30], ['office', 40]]

Local 2 showed up in DC this week to make sure management heard us loud and clear: while CEO Bernard Tyson was accepting an award at the National Minority Quality Forum and another Kaiser exec. attended the Business Health Agenda, we handed out information to passerby's and conference attendees throughout the week.
After a charge was filed by the CPKU in May of 2018 against Kaiser's refusal to come to the bargaining table, the NLRB issued a formal complaint on December 28th, 2018.
"Respondent has been failing and refusing to bargain collectively and in good faith with the exclusive collective-bargaining representative of its employees in violation of Section 8(a)(1) and (5) of the Act."
The National Agreement expired on September 30th, 2018. A hearing is now set for March 19th, 2019.
"WHEREFORE, as part of the remedy for the unfair labor practices alleged above in paragraph 8, the General Counsel seeks an Order that requires Respondent to bargain, on request, with the Coalition for a National Agreement and-to cease and desist from conditioning such bargaining on reaching agreement on a revised Partnership Agreement. The General Counsel further seeks all other relief as may be just and proper to remedy the unfair labor practices alleged."
Kaiser has $30 billion in reserves, and recorded a profit of $3.8 billion in 2017 alone. They can afford to treat their employees fairly. It's up to us to show them how.
We have even heard that one Alliance union that was simply informing its members of the status of negotiations has been called on the carpet by Kaiser for doing so.
Be voted on for ratification at the same time as a new National Agreement.
Protects our union jobs and ensuring job security.
Kaiser is making historically high profits, including $1.3 billion in the most recent quarter. There is no reason for Kaiser to be demanding takeaways from anyone. They can afford to move forward to have the best ever National Agreement.
Worksite Actions: Throughout the Coalition, we are conducting various worksite actions to show our unity and to show Kaiser that we are united and in action together. It is more important than ever for all members to get involved and be active.
Legal: The Coalition has filed an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Testimony has been given and dozens of supporting documents have been provided. Kaiser cannot suspend National Agreement negotiations nor precondition those negotiations on a new Partnership Agreement.
Political Outreach: Kaiser's bad faith negotiations tactics have concerned a large number of political leaders and they have communicated their concerns to Kaiser leadership. We are reaching out to all political leaders to update them on Kaiser's refusal to bargain with over 80,000 union members and their anti-union behavior.
Purchasers: The Coalition has already organized union representatives covering over 1 million Kaiser customers to send letters to Kaiser expressing concern about their behavior.
Starting March 2018: Follow negotiations between the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions and Kaiser Permanente!
Click on any of the above to be taken to the site!
Well said, Local 30! Local 2 members echo these sentiments.
For now the Coalition unions continue to prepare for bargaining and work with our committees on our proposals and arguments to ensure our success. We will continue to communicate regularly to keep you informed. Our next meetings as a leadership team will be the week of April 9th and we will continue to develop our strategy and communication plan to keep our members in the loop. Your patience is requested as we work through the issues before us.
Lastly, while the unions that left the Coalition have chosen to no longer be "Partner" unions under the National Agreement, they are still unions and as such we all share many of the same values and goals. Their leaders and their members are still our friends and colleagues and the work we have always done together has benefited us all. For these reasons I am asking that we all refrain from any negative comments and avoid playing into the rumor mill. These communications from me and from YOUR union are intended to keep you informed, but also to make sure you can determine the fact from the fiction. While I cannot control the things that others may say, I will do my best to make sure that you get the facts you need to be able to tell truth from fiction.
If you know of other Local 30 members who would like to receive these text and email updates, please have them go to our website or just call the office.
We have always believed in—and strived for—consensus. For 20 years, we have been able to make 99.9% of our decisions together as unions, by consensus. This is still true with the Coalition we have today.
Our Coalition has grown and changed in many ways. Because of these changes, we have advocated to update our Coalition decision‐making structures to make sure that all Coalition unions are heard and—if we cannot reach consensus—we have a clear way to make decisions and achieve our goals. All Coalition unions—locals in SEIU, OPEIU, AFSCME (UNAC/UHCP), AFT (OFNHP/ONA), UFCW, IBT, IFPTE, IUOE, KPNAA, ILWU and UNITE HERE—had agreed that in 2018 National Bargaining, if we were unable to reach consensus, we would accept agreement from 70 percent of the represented union members.
For other day‐to‐day decisions, we believe a two‐thirds (66%) super‐majority would be a fair way to move forward into the future that is democratic and protects the voice of all unions. Under this structure, there is no way for one union—even one as large as SEIU‐UHW—to make decisions without significant support from other unions.
In the course of preparations for national bargaining, there have been robust conversations about how to keep our Coalition united and strong and bring resolution to our decision‐making processes. We remain committed to an open dialogue about this and feel that it was not in the spirit of partnership for some unions to walk away from the longest lasting, strongest, largest union coalition in the country because of a disagreement over internal decision‐making rules within the Coalition.
We hope that the unions who left last minute will re‐join the Coalition—and join us at the table with management. We are stronger together!
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, AFL‐CIO, represents Kaiser Permanente employees in the following unions: SEIU Locals 49, 105, 121RN, 1199NW, UHW; OPEIU Locals 2, 8, 29, 30, 50 (HNA); IFPTE Local 20, and UNITE HERE Local 5.
This week, Union leaders, bargaining team members, and observers of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions arrived in Oakland to begin negotiations with management for a new National Agreement. Unfortunately, we were met with an announcement by some unions: Effective immediately, they have withdrawn from the Coalition.
This has not deterred us from our mission and responsibilities. Local 2 and your bargaining team are proud to confirm our unity, strength and readiness for negotiations with our sister locals from OPEIU, SEIU, SEIU-UHW, UNITE-HERE and IFPTE.
Over the course of the next few months, you may hear many different versions of the events. Do not let the politics, power plays and propaganda confuse you or deter you from our purpose. We are here in good faith to represent the interests of our membership. We are 80,000 Union Strong across all regions in Kaiser Permanente.
We are not here to end the partnership. Nor are we one of the unions that has pulled our membership out of the National Agreement. Our membership continues to enjoy in full force the benefits and privileges of the National CBA.
Despite the narrative that is being spun by some of the previous Coalition Unions, we ask that you remain focused and grounded in the tasks at hand: To better the lives and working conditions of our sisters and brothers.
We know that there are a lot of unanswered questions at this point, and we are all dealing with this in real time. We ask that you strengthen your resolve. We will keep you informed as the situation progresses.
Take the 2018 Bargaining survey!


When most people sit behind the wheel of a car, they do not worry about car accidents. However, often the aggressive and distracted behaviors they may display on the road could result in a car crash. So, how common are car accidents in Utah?
Experts estimate that in the state of Utah, a car crash occurs every ten minutes. This statistic seems a little ridiculous, but it is true. Sometimes the crash may involve a single vehicle, but sadly, on most occasions, it involves two or more vehicles, essentially increasing the number of drivers, passengers and pedestrians potentially injured in the crash.
It is estimated that while a vehicular accident occurs every ten minutes, someone is injured in such a crash every twenty-three minutes, and dies in a car accident every thirty-six hours. While Utah does have one of the lowest traffic fatality rates in the country, residents still need to sit up and take notice of the leading causes for car crashes.
While aggressive driving, speeding, and drunk driving are the primary culprits for car crashes in Utah, state authorities report distracted driving as a worrisome trend. In its attempt to achieve zero fatalities on the road, the state has launched several campaigns to evoke the interest of its residents in hopes to encourage people to drive safely.
The Utah Highway Patrol states that ninety-four percent of crashes were caused by human error. These accidents could have been avoided if drivers had paid more attention to the road and followed traffic regulations. They also report that many fatalities may have been avoided if the drivers and passengers had worn their seat belts.
If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, you should consult a Utah car accident lawyer. Your attorney will help you understand how to deal with the case. If you are being harassed by the other driver's insurance company, your lawyer will put an end to it.
It is important that the police accident report, evidence collected from the accident site, and your medical documents and bills are organized and arranged properly, as they will need to be presented in court. Having a reliable car accident lawyer by your side can make a potentially stressful situation easier to deal with.

Short Biography of George Moore
George Augustus Moore was born on 24th February 1852 in Ballyglass, County Mayo, Ireland. The Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist was an influence in the late 19th century.
George Moore: Short Biography
Art Student
He is remembered as the propagator of Naturalism in English and Irish literature. He was also a Modernist in his rebellion against Victorian mores and conventions.
George Moore's came from a Catholic family of Irish landholders. His family had lived in Moore Hall, near Lough Carra, County Mao for a century. As a child, Moore cherished the works of Walter Scott, which his father read to him. He spent most of his time with his brother, Maurice George Moore, and befriended the young Willie and Oscar Wilde during the summer holidays.
Moore's education started at St. Mary's College, Oscott, a Catholic boarding school near Birmingham. He was a rebel who refused to study and spent time reading novels and poems. Eventually, Moore was expelled by the summer of 1867.
In 1868, George Moore's moved with his family to London. He unsuccessfully attended the School of Art in the South Kensington Museum. Moore handed over his family estate to his brother Maurice when their father died in 1870.
He was in search of an artist who would accept him as a pupil. A shepherd and circus masked man, Monsieur Jullian, took him as a pupil on for 40 francs a month.
At the age of 21, George Moore left for Paris. He self-published his first book, a collection of lyric poems called The Flowers of Passion in 1877. Moore also described the Café Nouvelle-Athenes and the impressionist painters who visited it in Reminiscences of the Impressionist Painters.
Moore befriended Édouard Manet, who sketched three portraits of him. He was forced to return to Ireland in 1880 to raise £3,000 to pay debts sustained on the family estate due to his tenants refusing to pay the rent and the drop in agricultural prices.
While in Ireland, George Moore decided to abandon art and move to London to become a professional writer. His first novels, A Modern Lover and A Mummer's Wife, introduced a new note of French Naturalism into the English scene. He published his second poetry collections Pagan Poems.
He introduced the younger generation in England to his version of fin de siècle, his first autobiography, Confessions of a Young Man. The Modern Library chose it in 1917 to be Included in the series as "one of the most significant documents of the passionate revolt of English literature against the Victorian tradition."
Moore had an interest in tackling issues such as prostitution, extramarital sex, and lesbianism. Because of this, he had to face controversy in his career.
Esther Waters (1894), deals with the plight of a servant girl who has a baby out of wedlock; it is a story of hardship and humiliation illumined by the novelist's compassion, is still his best work.
Moore died at his home at Ebury Street in the London district of Belgravia in 1933, leaving a fortune of £70,000. Moore's contribution to the Irish Literary Renaissance and to the development of the Irish National Theatre is unmatched.


This week, Murthy Law Firm attorneys will answer questions regarding an employer's ability to pay obligation and how, as a beneficiary of a labor certification, you need to be aware of these issues.
If my employer pays for the GC processing and inturn if I had to sign a contract with them , is that leagal to sign the contract terms ?
2. If we consider the total cost of the tech employees for just a few months, GC cost is peanuts. I understand its not more that a 3-4 thousand dollars for vanilla cases.
But these are not arguments I can provide to the employer. The first one is about time and they always push back saying it takes decades anyways for countries like India. The second one is about money and cheapens the argument.
So what are the best arguments that I can make to employers to process it as soon as we join them?
It seems awkward to make the moral arguments along the lines of "This is equivalent to indentured servitude" as it is not exactly that. You are getting something in return.
"I want to work worry free and stay as long as possible with your organization. Given the current immigration environment it adds a lot of instability to that."
Could people contribute more arguments that are cogent and well thought out?
If the employer really wants you there won't be any arguments. So, be good at your job.
I can only address the immigration law related aspect of your question: The employer is required to pay for all costs associated with the labor certification portion of your green card.

Building the New Zealand Dream
Gael Ferguson
Dunmore Press with the assistance of the Historical Branch, Department of Internal Affairs, 1994 - Home ownership - 344 pages
"From the late nineteenth century when New Zealand governments first provided cheap and easily accessible loan finance for houses, state support for housing became an intrinsic part of New Zealand life. In fact we could go so far as to say that government support for "The New Zealand dream" -- the family home in the suburb -- has profoundly influenced the shape of New Zealand society and the New Zealand landscape. Government involvement reached its peak in the 1960s and has slowly declined from that time. This book provides a chronological history of housing policies in New Zealand and examines the effects these policies have had on people and environment." -- Back cover.

Q: How to hide column titles of a Sharepoint list I have made a SharePoint page with a list on it and I have set the style of the list to blocks. As you can see below.
But how can I hide the column titles?

A: Try using below settings in list view:

If this is not working for you then add below code to your SharePoint page using Script Editor or Content Editor web part:
function hideColumnHeaders(){
    // hide list column headers
    document.querySelector("table[summary^='TESTLIJSTPK'] tbody tr").style.display = "none";
}

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("hideColumnHeaders");

OR replace code inside function with:
document.querySelector("table[summary^='TESTLIJSTPK'] tbody tr:first-child").style.display = "none";

Where TESTLIJSTPK is name of your list.
Output: No column headers/titles at the top

Buona Terra is owned and operated by Chef Jose "Chepé" Garcia (formerly of Tuscany on Taylor and Riva) and his wife, hospitality industry veteran Eileen Gregg Garcia. Longtime residents of the Logan Square neighborhood, we opened our restaurant in a storefront on California Avenue — just south of Logan Boulevard — in April 2002. Our goal was to create the kind of dining experience we ourselves enjoy — intimate, relaxed and as appropriate for a first date or a special family get-together as it is for a good meal before a movie.


Adobe released its first version of InDesign in 1999. Since then, hundreds of Walsworth customers have jumped in and started using this relatively young software program to create their yearbooks. As InDesign matured, so has Walsworth's support. And our numerous plug-ins, training materials and informational pieces have helped our customers make the switch as easy as possible.
With the release of InDesign CS as part of Adobe's Creative Suite, more and more people are going to be looking at InDesign as a viable yearbook creation program. Even though Walsworth will only accept pages in InDesign 2.0.x for 2004 yearbooks, you may already be looking ahead to 2005. Once you decide you are ready, what next? Following are some things to consider when making the switch.
No, not the fond memories of all the years you have worked with PageMaker, but how much RAM is available on the computers. Along with all of the cool features InDesign offers, like drop shadows, transparency and text features, come more demanding memory requirements. And the fi les themselves are just larger; a PageMaker file that has been converted to InDesign can be up to three times larger than the original.
The minimum amount of RAM Adobe recommends for InDesign is 128 MB, and it would be wise to have more, especially when creating large or complicated yearbook pages. In addition, InDesign requires at least 312 MB of free hard-disk space (350 MB for Mac users) and a Pentium II or G3 processor.
If you are planning to upgrade your entire software suite with Adobe's Creative Suite products, even more memory and space is required. The minimum RAM recommendation is 256 MB, and that is to run just one component. In short, invest as much as possible in hardware before upgrading your software.
Learning a new software program can be intimidating. InDesign's robust feature list and palette-based interface may be just different enough to make you think twice about making the change.
The good news is this: It's still an Adobe product. If you have used Photoshop, or even PageMaker, the Tool palette and many of the commands will be familiar.
So how do you go about getting the knowledge needed? First, talk to your Walsworth yearbook representative. Chances are good there will be a summer workshop in your area that you and your staff can attend. If not, your representative can probably recommend another nearby workshop, or even come to your school and provide one-on-one training.
Next, start working with the program. Nothing will help you understand the software more than hands-on experience. If your yearbook delivers in the spring, the time between making final proof corrections and receiving the book is a good time to start experimenting.
If you would like to play with the program before investing in the software, Adobe offers a free 30-day trial of InDesign for both Mac and Windows that can be downloaded from their website. Just visit adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jhtml and scroll to the InDesign section. This full version of InDesign will provide a good demonstration of how the software works and what it can do. This trial version can only be used to evaluate the program. You cannot use it to create yearbook pages for submission to Walsworth.
Finally, when your staff is ready to start putting the yearbook together, Walsworth's Desktop Yearbook Guide for InDesign is a complete look at the entire yearbook process. Following the four-step process of planning, creating, submitting and proofing, the guide gives instructions on using InDesign itself, as well as all of our Enhancements. Plus, there are plenty of instructions on InDesign's more creative features, like type and transparency effects, to help give your book a more exciting look.
New versions of software programs often generate new questions. Here are some frequently asked questions about the Adobe Creative Suite, which began to be shipped in the fourth quarter of 2003, specifically Adobe InDesign CS, which is actually version CS.
I ordered my copy of the Creative Suite. Can I submit my InDesign CS pages to Walsworth?
Not this year. All 2004 pages must be submitted in InDesign 2.0.x.
I want to start using InDesign this year. Can I still get a copy of InDesign 2.0.x?
Supplies are limited. You may find a retailer that still has copies, but they can be few and far between. You will probably have to wait until next year to start creating yearbook pages in InDesign.
I've been using InDesign 2.0. Should I upgrade?
It depends. See the full article for information on the memory requirements for the Creative Suite. If your hardware can handle it, there is no reason not to make the switch. Again, however, realize that you will have to continue submitting 2.0 pages to Walsworth this year.
What's the difference between 2.0 and the new version?
For those looking for huge feature upgrades like those that happened between InDesign 1.5 and 2.0, you will be disappointed. Most of the changes Adobe has made to InDesign are more functional than flashy. For PageMaker users, there are some new additions that will make you more comfortable, like a Control palette and a Story Editor. Visit adobe.com/products/indesign/main.html for an in-depth look at the new features.
Will Walsworth offer equal support for CS and 2.0.x?
Yes. We are committed to remaining up-to-date with the development of our InDesign Enhancements. Expect to see Enhancements and training materials for CS in the near future, when we are ready to accept the pages.
Finally, do not rush it. Give yourself some time to get comfortable with the program. Walsworth will happily accept a combination of PageMaker and InDesign pages until you are ready to move completely to InDesign.
While planning the ladder, take a look at the sections and the people in charge of them. The special effects InDesign offers may seem a natural for certain parts of the yearbook, like the opening section, cover and endsheets or divider pages. You might also want to give InDesign to the more tech-savvy or creative staff members, as they will probably be the ones to coax the most out of it from a design standpoint.
InDesign will open PageMaker documents, so it is possible to create some basic page design such as drawing image windows or placing copy using PageMaker, then take the document to InDesign for additional design. At that point you also can use Walsworth's Enhancements to number image windows or place images. However, once a PageMaker document is opened in InDesign, it cannot be opened again in PageMaker. Still, this will give you a good starting point for learning the program, allowing you to advance as far as you want.
The best part about taking it slowly is that you are not over-extending yourself. Once in the program, you may find it to be easier than you thought, and you may decide to take it further than originally intended.
Many schools are making the jump from PageMaker to InDesign right now with great success. Before deciding to use it to create the yearbook, do your homework, and make sure it is the right thing for you.

Lily Tomlin wants to play 'Prairie Home Companion' for real
BMTN Staff
It's going on seven years, but comedy great Lily Tomlin loved working with Garrison Keillor and Meryl Streep so much in the 2006 movie "A Prairie Home Companion" that she wants to come back to St. Paul and be on the show for real.
"Garrison's never asked me (to do the show). He knows I want to, but he also knows Meryl can sing. He's not sure that I can," Tomlin told me with a laugh during a recent interview for her new film, "Admission."
In "A Prairie Home Companion," shot almost entirely on location at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Tomlin played Rhonda Johnson, sister of Yolanda Johnson (Meryl Streep) -- who make up the Johnson sisters singing duo.
"Meryl and I went to St. Paul a couple weeks early to practice singing," Tomlin recalled. "She's a good singer, but I had to study for three months, every day, to try to hold the harmony."
Apparently, Tomlin said, the hard work paid off.
"We had to send a tape to Garrison because he was on the road, but he wanted to hear how we were developing," Tomlin said. "After that, I talked with him on the phone and he said, 'You're a natural alto. You would have sung a cappella in church,' so I was very proud of myself."
See Tomlin and Streep sing "My Minnesota Home" from the film in a clip below.
In addition to working with Keillor again, Tomlin says she's a big fan of "PHC" cast member Tim Russell and his wife, Judy. Russell had a role in the "Prairie Home Companion" film as Al, the stage manager.
"I know Tim and his wife, Judy," Tomlin said. "They're a great couple."
Tomlin said the "Prairie Home Companion" film also holds a special place in her heart since it re-teamed her with one of her favorite filmmakers, Robert Altman, who previously directed her in "Short Cuts" and "Nashville."
"It was Altman's last movie -- how can I forget that? That was quite a time," Tomlin said.
In "Admission," Tomlin plays the fiercely independent mom of Tina Fey's character. Look for the full interview on Bring Me The News later this week.
See the trailer from "Admission" below.

New Bond Fund Intelligence Profiles JPMorgan's Martucci and Rehman
Today, we excerpt from the March issue of Crane Data's new publication, Bond Fund Intelligence, which tracks the bond fund marketplace with a focus on the ultra-short and most conservative segments. Our latest monthly "profile" follows.... This month, Bond Fund Intelligence interviews Managing Director & Portfolio Manager Dave Martucci and Managed Reserves Investment Policy Committee Chairman and Risk Manager Saad Rehman from JPMorgan Asset Management. Martucci runs the $6 billion JPMorgan Managed Income Fund, which is the largest fund we currently track in our Conservative Ultra Short Bond Fund category, and Rehman has been instrumental in the creation of our new "Conservative" category. We discuss risk management, the growing demand for short-term products, and conservative ultra short's place within a cash segmentation strategy, below.
BFI: How long have you been involved in the conservative ultra short bond space? Martucci: JPMorgan Chase & Co. has been managing money for corporations, governments, endowments, foundations, and individuals worldwide for well over a century. Currently, J.P. Morgan Asset Management has $1.7 trillion in AUM, around 25% of which is in our Global Liquidity business, which we've been in for over 30 years. Within the Global Liquidity business we manage cash and money market fund portfolios, as well as our conservative ultra short bond fund offering, which we call the Managed Reserves strategy.
The strategy dates back to 2004 and currently has $43 billion in AUM. Of that, around $9B is in mutual funds and the remainder is in separately managed accounts. Within the Managed Reserves strategy is the JPMorgan Managed Income Fund (JMGIX), which was launched in 2010 and now has $6B, an all-time high. I'm the lead portfolio manager and head of our Managed Reserves trading desk. I have 15 years of experience running liquidity strategies, and I've also been a portfolio manager for short duration and intermediate portfolios.
Rehman: I am a Risk Manager and Chairman of the Managed Reserves Investment Policy Committee, which formulates and approves investment policies and procedures as they relate to credit, market, and other risks applicable to the investment management of these funds and accounts. I've worked at JPM for 10 years.
BFI: How has the fund been received? Martucci: We've seen a significant amount of interest recently, as clients continue to be challenged by the Fed's zero interest rate policy. Additionally, they now face the prospect of floating NAVs on the short end and rising rates on the long end. These clients are looking for some incremental return over money market funds, but they still want a conservative approach. Rehman: In the wake of the financial crisis, a lot of clients built up large cash positions on their balance sheets. This excess cash, combined with an effective segmentation strategy, has been driving growth in this space. A natural place to put a strategic cash position to work is in a conservative solution that offers an incremental return over money funds.
Martucci: This is where the Managed Reserves strategy comes in, as it was a natural extension of our well-established money market fund platform, leveraging the best practices and procedures that we employ in that platform. For instance, an approved credit list that you typically find in a money market fund has been built upon and expanded, serving as a key piece of our Managed Reserves strategy. Since the strategy launched, these conservative foundations have enabled Managed Reserves to provide a strong track record of consistent returns over money market funds, with very limited volatility. Since inception, the Managed Reserves composite has had no period of rolling three-month losses. Fund assets are at an all-time high.
BFI: What are the biggest challenges for funds in the conservative space? Martucci: The main issue that we see is the variability of funds in this category. The issue comes from trying to define what that conservative ultra short space is. We're happy that industry leaders such as Crane and others are starting to focus on this and trying to establish it as a category of its own. Clearly, the space is somewhere between money market funds and short duration. We believe that the conservative ultra short space is not determined solely by interest rate duration, but also by spread duration, credit selection, the type of securities these funds can and do choose to hold and, most importantly, the volatility of performance. We address all these factors through robust risk management.
Rehman: What clients are looking for in this space is not just returns, but the risk associated with those returns. We have seen a period of low volatility over the past few years, which we think is masking some of the potential downside. We expect to see more volatility, potentially due to diverging central bank actions, regulations for money market funds and banks, as well as geopolitical risk. With volatility, we expect that we'll start to see divergence in performance for these conservative ultra short funds. One of the factors driving that divergence will be credit selection in these funds. For example, some funds in the ultra short space actively participate in below investment grade credit while others, like JPMorgan Managed Income, do not.
There are many ways you can analyze the risk and returns of funds in the ultra short space. For example, when you look at the average monthly returns of these funds they are somewhat clustered tightly around a mean -- whereas there's a much wider range when you look at the volatility of those returns. Another way to get a general sense of how risky a fund's returns are is to compare the percentage of negative monthly returns over a period, such as the past 12 or 36 months. You can see that the percentage for some funds is almost double that of others in the space. (Note: Watch for more excerpts from our latest BFI "profile" in coming days, or contact us to see the full issue of our new Bond Fund Intelligence.)

Getting other people to refer people to you massage business is one of the best ways to build a business. Your current clients, other local businesses, doctors and other health care providers are all potential connections in building your referral network. It just really takes a few good connections to make this work.
It also involves having a good website that gets found for your main keywords – massage your city. What does a website have to do with referrals?
When people find your website through searching online – they are already looking for massage and there is a good chance that they already understand and value massage. People like that are more likely to just refer people to you without having to offer them things in exchange for the referral. That's the main goal really – getting your current clients to refer to you without having to give them free sessions or points or whatever. That is also the definition of an ideal client- they will refer to you without incentives! They get up off the table and go back to their offices or home and send everyone they know in!
So once you get them on the table you of course have to give that extra-ordinary massage! They need to feel better and see results! People like that will go out the door and tell the people in the elevator about you! They will tell all their co-workers, friends and family members. That's a natural referral network! It just happens on its own! It happens because you give the most amazing massage and you listen more than you give advise. You make people feel comfortable and you make them feel better in their body! It happens because they are your ideal clients.
We do also have the new shopping concept that everyone has a discount or members card and that could help your business too but don't do that unless you find that people aren't referring to you.
You also need to ask people to refer to you – (I heard you gulping from here!) When your clients like you, they will gladly refer to you. Many will assume that you are busy because you are so good and won't think to refer. It is OK to just outright tell people whatever is going on.
I am getting out of the insurance business so I if you know anyone at your office or your wife/husband/family member who might need a massage -send them my way if you could please! Thank you!
I am just starting to work full time and am ready to see more clients so if you know anyone who could use a massage, here is my card.
Asking for what you want is part of learning to be a business person and be a successful one at that.
The other part of this if you are a sole proprietor, you really only need a few good people referring into your business. Many think that they need hundreds and feel overwhelmed by the idea that they will have to go knock on hundreds of doors or cold calling or whatever. You really want to focus on building a relationship with the people, businesses and health care professionals who are most likely to refer to you – a massage business.
But here is the thing that many really miss out on. Networking is not just about going to an event and handing out business cards. You really have to learn the art of listening and referring to other people first! People really are only out for themselves – just like you might be when you think of going to a networking event or doing networking. When you do that – people really won't care. They will just put your card away and maybe once in a blue moon they might think of you for some special situation but getting one referral a year is not going to really help your business. People want to know what is in it for them. When you go in with the idea that you want to get to know people first and you also want to really see if they would be a good match for your business. A chiropractor who says something like "muscles are not usually the real problem" is probably not the best source of a referral. You want quality referrals from people who value and appreciate massage.
Start with your current clients. Look to see who is referring people to you. Check to see if they haven't referred anyone to you. Talk to both of them and then ask!
Look for doctors in your area with a similar philosophy on healing and health. Chiropractors are a good place to start but many chiropractors will usually have an employee working there that does massage. Other good sources are physical therapists, orthopedic doctors, sports medicine doctors and general practitioners.
Other alternative health care providers like acupuncturists can be a good source.
Your business neighbors that you frequent often: closest neighbors – the deli workers, the ice cream shop workers, your favorite lunch spot, the grocery store checkers.
Figure out a way to get to talk to them. Find out about THEM first! Go to them as a patient. Send people to their shops or stores or to use their services first!
Getting doctors to refer to you.
Are your referrals getting to you?


Ninety-nine percent of the water in the Yucatan Peninsula is ground water. Scientists Mario Rebolledo-Vieyra and Roberto Iglesias-Prieto are working together to study the impact of the continental waters on the Mesoamerican Reef. Through the Center for Studies on Water, they are trying to unveil the mystery of how much water there is, where it's coming from, the quality of it, and, if there are any contaminants, where they are coming from.
Coral reefs are the largest living structures on earth and the richest repositories of marine biodiversity. Mario and Roberto's immediate objective is to help educate everyone who visits and inhabits the Mesoamerican Region about how to protect the coral reefs - that in return - protect the pristine coastline of this paradise.
"During Hurricane Wilma (2005) we had the opportunity to test this with numbers. The energy released just by the waves during this 16-hour period of the storm was equivalent to 25 atomic bombs like the one in Hiroshima. Out of these 25 atomic bombs, only 0.2 bombs were released inside the reef. So the protection of the coastline was incredibly high," Roberto reports.
Mario Rebolledo-Vieyra is the director of the Center for Studies on Water in Mexico that researches the hydrogeology of the Yucatan Peninsula. He works on a research program, "Ground water and nutrients impact Puerto Morelos Reef", that focuses on the impact of the continental waters on the Mesoamerican Reef. His analysis quantifies and maps the origins of sediment and nutrient runoff that threaten the reef. Mario received his Bachelor's degree in Oceanology from the School of Marine Sciences of the Autonomous University of Baja California. He received his Masters of Science at the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education in Ensenada, and his Ph.D. at Department of Geology of CICESE.

The Americas | Bolívar's exhumation
TB or not TB
Venezuela's president buries bad news by disinterring a national icon
Jul 22nd 2010 | Caracas
A body of socialist thought
FOR a president facing a weak economy and declining popularity, a centuries-old murder mystery could prove a useful distraction. Venezuela's Hugo Chávez is not one to let the lack of any such mystery stand in his way. On July 15th, at the president's order, a team of white-clad soldiers and forensic scientists opened the lead coffin holding the remains of Simón Bolívar, the Caracas-born South American independence hero. He was exhumed to see if he died of tuberculosis, as historians assert, or was poisoned by political rivals—"crucified like Christ," as Mr Chávez insists.
The president has long idolised Bolívar, the nation's secular saint. He even renamed the country the "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela." Although Bolívar was in fact quite conservative, Mr Chávez sees him as a socialist, and advertises his own movement as the long-delayed realisation of the Liberator's dream. In this scheme, the descendants of the "oligarchs" and "imperialists" who purportedly killed Bolívar are now plotting to assassinate his ideological heir.
Mr Chávez first aired his revisionist theory of Bolívar's murder on the anniversary of his death, in 2007, just two weeks after the president had lost a referendum on constitutional reform. The next month he set up a commission to investigate the claim incorporating ten ministers and the vice-president.
With legislative elections looming this September, Mr Chávez decided that 180 years of mystery were too many. In a 19-hour operation, a scan was taken of Bolívar's skull, and samples were extracted from his teeth and vertebrae. They will now be tested for authenticity. But according to Mr Chávez, his own doubts were assuaged by Bolívar himself, who helpfully called out "Yes, it's me" from the grave. "I confess we wept," the president later wrote on Twitter. "That glorious skeleton must be Bolívar, for we could feel his spark."
Once the forensic analysis is over, Bolívar will be resealed in a new coffin, wrapped in a new flag and—during next year's bicentennial celebrations—interred in a new mausoleum. A useful by-product is that his remains will then be separated at last from those of heroes who are not to Mr Chávez's taste.

A Cappella Pops is a high-energy mixed-voice a cappella group of more than 30 singers who sing a variety of a cappella music from jazz to gospel, show tunes to contemporary songs. Performing in intricate four-to-eight part harmonies, in an exciting and fast-paced style, Pops combines great singing with carefully-woven dialogue and movement to create a seamless experience that keeps audiences eager for more. Based in the Delaware Valley and founded in 2000, Pops performs under the direction of Jonathon Flowers.
All Pops members are experienced singers and musicians. Each must audition to enter the group, then re-audition annually to ensure the quality and integrity of the Pops sound. Many of our members sing in other groups as well, including choruses, quartets, and bands.
Our members come from all walks of life and are active in other organizations as well, including churches and charitable organizations. We are called upon to support these groups with fundraisers and concerts. In addition Pops has begun to offer music workshops for schools and colleges when in conjunction with a performance.
This is A Cappella Pops!
Check out A Cappella Pops in performance and hear from both group members and audience members about their experiences. Our YouTube channel also hosts more performance videos; you can subscribe by visiting A Cappella Pops on YouTube.
A Cappella Pops was founded in 2000, when Jan Muck and Tom Hailey got the inspired idea to start a local cappella chorus. With Jan as principal director, Pops recruited accomplished singers from around the Tri-state area, building a top-rate show chorus specializing in popular music favorites.
Over the years, Pops gained a reputation for fusing intricate eight-part harmonies with a lively stage style. The group continued to expand its repertoire to include a range of genres –– from oldies to jazz to contemporary hits, as well as novelty, old-time and patriotic tunes –– and to widen its performance horizons, adding to its original concert offering a variety of formats that include flash mobs, weddings, corporate functions, and church and community events.
Pops has sung at Carnegie Hall, The White House and World Cafe Live, among other venues. In 2009 the group conducted a four-city concert tour of New Zealand.
Upon Jan's retirement in 2012, Pops hired Pasquale (Pat) Montenegro as music director. A versatile and talented musician, Pat helped the group further polish its presentation and sound. His sudden death in 2017 found Pops once again searching for a director. Six months later, the group hired interim director Miku Shiota to take over as full-time director. In mid-2018, Pops began a search for a new Director, and after a very thorough search process, Pops engaged Jonathon D. Flowers as our new permanent Director.
