 Розовая любовь с первого взгляда Розовая пантера в мультфильме «Розовая любовь с первого взгляда»''' (англ. The Pink Panther in: Pink at First Sight) — анимационный фильм на тему 14 февраля — Дня Святого Валентина. Премьерный показ состоялся на ABC 14 февраля 1981 года. В России издавался только на видеокассетах в одноголосом закадровом синхронном переводе Максима Ошуркова, затем Антона Пронина.

Герои — Розовая пантера, директор курьерской службы, потенциальные заказчики и получатели товара. Мужчины с длинным носом в мультфильме не было.

По сценарию мультфильма, в канун 14 февраля у Пантеры нет ни любимой девушки, ни денег — за исключением семи центов, перемешанных в копилке вместе с пуговицами. В тот момент, когда герой сидел дома и скучал, к нему в квартиру врывается человек в красно-белом костюме, представитель курьерской службы. Пожелав Пантере счастливого и весёлого Дня Святого Валентина, курьер протягивает ему картонную коробку, в которой лежало маленькое платье жёлтого цвета. Пантера пытается догнать курьера на мотоцикле, попутно нарушая правила дорожного движения, подрезая другие автомобили. Он достигает курьерской службы, видит в очереди представителя, но передать платье ему не получается. Он сталкивается с руководителем курьерской службы, отчитывавшим своего бездарного подопечного. Босс просит Пантеру станцевать с целью произвести на него впечатление. Всё бы было ничего, но вследствие того, что во время танца у пантеры закружилась голова, герой падает на коробки с подарками, которые нужно доставить. Директор вышвыривает Пантеру из службы в сторону рекламного стенда с надписью «Великий Карузо».

В соседнем магазине пантера покупает кассетный плеер и предварительно записанные аудиокассеты — за семь имевшихся у него в запасе центов. Купив плеер, герой бежит обратно в курьерскую службу к кабинету босса, перебиравшего бумаги и курившего в своём кабинете. Пантера собирается произвести на босса впечатление, включает на кассете арию из оперы Руджеро Леонкавалло Паяцы и имитирует выступление Карузо под фонограмму. Из кабинета выбегает плачущий босс, и с возгласом «Я так люблю Карузо!» бросается к пантере. Так пантера получает работу в качестве курьера на День святого Валентина.

Первой точкой был поставлен богатый небоскрёб с подземной парковкой, в котором проживала молодая замужняя женщина. Пантера ничего не знает о её жизни и замужестве, поэтому дарит ей подарок в виде валентинки и открытки «Моей жене. Будь моим Валентином!». Женщина оказывается в восторге от такого подарка. Пантера и женщина проводят романтические вечер и ночь, танцуют под песни Энрико Карузо. Параллельно с работы на автомобиле приезжает муж женщины — толстый и хамоватый мужчина-гольфист с усами. Женщина прячет пантеру в шкафу, муж разрывает все открытки и подарки, затем — отжимает дверь шкафа с одеждой, где прятался главный герой. Мужчина видит пантеру и нарывается на неё с клюшкой, пантера вызывает лифт, в котором спускается муж героини. Погоня мужчины продолжается на автодороге, из которой победителем выходит пантера — её оппонент падает в реку с шоссе вследствие ДТП с участием грузового автомобиля. Далее пантера посещает чванливого классического скрипача, восхищающегося своим творчеством и живущего со служанкой. Пантера отдает ему подарок, а затем просит скрипача немного поиграть на его скрипке. Герой играет на скрипке как на электрической гитаре, после чего ломает её. Далее пантера посещает священника и отвозит ему коробку с платьем, ту самую, что вручил ей курьер в начале фильма. Священник отвлекается на разговор по телефону, и главный герой ударом ноги в это время сбрасывает из окна эту подарочную упаковку. Платье падает на автобусную остановку, его подбирает мужчина, после чего своим зонтом подобравшего избивает рядом стоявшая женщина, возможно, его мать. В это время пантера покидает пункт назначения.

Последним заданием для героя стало посещение дома жестоких гангстеров, вход в который был только по пропускам. Охранник спрашивает пантеру, для чего он собирается въехать на территорию дворца. Пантера протягивает ему визитку курьерской доставки и говорит, что собирается отвезти подарок на День Святого Валентина. Охранник отходит и пропускает пантеру в дом. В доме пантера и бандиты долго думали, что находится в такой большой коробке с подарком, предполагалось, что там могут находиться часы. После вскрытия коробки раздаётся взрыв, и все находившиеся люди попали в больницу. Во время входа в палату медсестры пантера надевает на себя маску и подключается к газовому баллону с пропаном. Глаза в это время у пантеры сменяются с жёлтых на зелёные, он имитирует обнимание с медсестрой, воображая, что перед ним девушка-пантера, после чего приходит в себя и видит перед собой перевязанных бинтом бандитов, которых пытались подорвать взрывчаткой. Он бежит из палаты и прячется в чёрной, полумрачной подворотне. Его настигают и там. Тогда пантера случайно находит в сумке аудиокассету с отрывками из теле- и радиопередач на криминальную тематику, включает её на приёмнике с целью отвлечь бандитов от себя. Во время фразы «Это полиция, вы окружены!» все гангстеры судорожно бегут и садятся в чёрный лимузин, позже — покидают место столкновения.

В конце мультфильма пантера сидит на лавке, скучает, через какое-то время видит, что девушка-пантера бросила на дороге платок с надписью «Будь моим Валентином!». Он видит её, и, наконец, наш герой встречает на мосту пантеру своей мечты, идеального кошачьего Валентина.

7:14 I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings. 7:15 But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 7:16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.
Now that's quite a covenant. God establishes this covenant, this agreement, with a broad view in mind. Only God could establish such a thing.
Having grown up a Lutheran Christian, I am a bit jaded with traditional worship, though I do hold it near and dear. I just want to remember, in whatever form "worship" takes place, that we always remember "who" (The Lord) establishes the "what" (The Kingdom).
In what style do you worship? Contemporary? Folk service? Traditional?
When you worship, who is lifted up? God? The band? The organist? The pastor?
God establishes the Kingdom forever. For this we are eternally grateful.
P (Prayer): Great God of ours, Great God of might, we pray that you are our focus in worship, that you remind us that your throne is established forever. Now urge us onward to act like this throne is already established. Amen.

FRANKLIN COUNTY (KFSM) -- A wildfire in Franklin County that shut down part of Highway 96 and burned several homes was contained Friday morning (Nov. 18) allowing evacuees to return to their homes.
Fire crews are now monitoring hot spots, and the fire departments could conducts some additional small controlled burns.
The fire started in rural Franklin County around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, said Franklin County Emergency Management Coordinator Fred Mullen. The fire spread along Highway 96 between Lavaca and Cecil and into Sebastian County south of Mulberry.
Highway 96, which was shut down starting at Arbuckle Island Road in Sebastian County and into Franklin County, has since been reopened.
Big Creek Fire Chief Tommy Noel said three homes have been burned, including one along Mill Creek Mountain Road that was completely destroyed by the fire. There have been no reports of injuries. Smoke from the fire could be seen for miles away throughout the River Valley.
Noel also said the fire burned 1,001 acres as of about 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
The Red Cross opened a shelter at First Baptist Church in Lavaca Thursday night for those displaced by the fire.
Every fire department in Franklin and Sebastian County, as well as the Forestry Department, responded to battle the flames Thursday.
Crews from Logan and Johnson Counties will be in the area Friday to help monitor the situation.
Yes, and when they first reported the "Franklin County" fire they described the located between Lavaca and Greenwood. I see where they finally corrected that on this site but still thousands of people received that breaking news alert on their phones saw inaccurate info. Inaccurate by about 20 miles.
Does anyone know how close it is to Country Heights Rd on top of mill creek mtn?
I'm guessing Country Heights Rd is about 3 miles or so as a crow flies south east of the area of the fire.

You want consumers to immediately think of your company when considering the products and services in your industry. Just as cowboys brand cattle to claim ownership, you must brand your company. In branding your company, you're attempting to position your name above all the others in your field. You must identify how consumers view you, how you want them to view you, and what you want to communicate to them. Take a look at this article about the Top 10 Branding Mistakes.
Branding your company may seem like a daunting task. Since it involves all aspects of your enterprise, all divisions, the visual presentation of your brand, your communication (both internal and external) as well as your competition, you may feel a bit overwhelmed. If you were concerned for your health, you'd visit a doctor – a professional who was trained to help you. You want your company to live a long and healthy life. Make an appointment with us and we'll see that your brand identity thrives.
Why does your company need a catalog? That's simple. Because you want people to buy what you're selling. For as much as your customers rely on the Internet for information, they still want something to carry along with them to look at offline. As is the case with all of your business communication, you want your catalog to be engaging, exciting and enticing. The design of your catalog is crucial to its success. The skilled eyes at Rainmaker are always open. We're ready to help you produce not only the catalog of your dreams, but the catalog of your customers' dreams.
You know your company's strengths. You believe in what you're selling. Now, how do you most effectively spread the word? Your copy has to be precise and interesting. Furthermore, your online writing needs to incorporate all of the keywords that you want search engines to find. After all, you want your name to come up first. Dave Davies of Beanstalk Search Engine Optimization suggests Ten Steps To A Well Optimized Website with content creation.
Have you noticed that we're overwhelmed with information lately? We each know what everyone else is doing at all times of the day. Very often, it's difficult to sort through all of the data which constantly bombards us. As business owners, we want to communicate our corporate message. It's our goal for people to know what we're doing. So, how do we get the attention of our customers when they're trying to wade through hundreds of other messages?
Sure, some recipients may throw it away, but not before they touch it and at least look at it. That's more recognition than you'd get with a quickly sent Tweet which is lost amongst dozens of others. Rainmaker can assist you with all aspects of your direct mail campaign from concept and design to managing the mailing list. Let us help you reach out to your customers.
With one glance your logo says exactly who you are as a company. The color, the shape, the design, the font – they all represent your company's values. After all, your logo is the centerpiece of your branding efforts. It's your snapshot for the world. It's your own personal character in the business alphabet.
Sometimes you're too close to your own company to create your own logo. When you're embedded in a venture and all of its details, it's hard to look at it with a clean and clear mind. There's a lot to consider when designing your logo, and you've got to be sure to represent everything about your company in one simple, easily-comprehended image. It's like chipping away at a hunk of marble to reveal a gorgeous statue. We can help you sift through the dust to uncover the logo that best suits you.
You want to reach people who will be interested in your business and what you've got to say, and you want to do it when they're relaxed enough to be receptive to your message. The tried-and-true magazine ad is still one of the best ways to reach your target audience.
Magazines offer you an open door into the homes and offices of the people you most want to reach. They also offer you a wealth of layout options and give your business the slick look that you want. Sometimes navigating your way into a magazine ad can be difficult. We're experts at it. Let us show you the map which will lead you to that open door.
Your marketing plan is your roadmap for the next one to five years. It's your list of marketing objectives, initiatives and goals. It tells you where you want to go, how you want to get there and how much you want to spend along the way. Creating your marketing plan is your opportunity to review your resources, measure what you've already done, size up the competition and look to the future. This planning process is an exciting time. Still, even for corporations with huge marketing departments, it's a tiring and difficult task filled with ups and downs.
We'd like to be your partner on the marketing plan teeter-totter. We can help you balance your past performance with your upcoming goals to create a sound marketing plan that you can easily communicate with your customers – both internal and external.
Philanthropic organizations, non-profit groups, public broadcasting and educational facilities are among the main entities that require membership support for survival. The contributions of members and the membership dues that are paid to these groups are the primary funds that keep them functional. Developing a solid, engaging membership campaign is sometimes the only path toward success for these helpful institutions.
At Rainmaker, we've assisted dozens of organizations in crafting successful membership campaigns which have enabled a variety of services to continue their vital work. We'd like to help you help your community.

Anyone can put up a website these days. Tools are available to all of us which make the creation of a page almost fool-proof. But does that mean that it's a good webpage? Will your page attract your target audience? Does it truly communicate your message? Can it offer something to potential customers? Will search engines recognize it? Is it something people will want to share with their friends and coworkers? A bad website is worse than having no site at all.
Just having a website doesn't necessarily equal success. You've got to think of your site as a living, breathing thing that must grow and evolve. You can't let it get stale and die. Our proven track record in creating outstanding websites makes Rainmaker an excellent choice to help you conceive, nurture and grow your digital presence.
Traditional marketing, which we'll refer to as "outbound marketing," involved your efforts to actively search for customers. You would throw fistfuls of informational pebbles into the air and hope that one of them landed on the right noggin. "Inbound marketing" takes a different approach. With this newer idea, customers are finding you because they're interested, because you're offering them something that they want.
Speaking of blogs, they're an excellent inbound marketing tool. For that matter, so are Facebook, Twitter, and a variety of other social media sites. By utilizing these tools, you're creating an attractive presence for yourself – one that will draw customers to you. Instead of trying to hook the fish, the fish are swimming to the boat! But that can be a big boat to navigate on your own. We've made it one of our missions to stay abreast of all of the trends and upcoming opportunities with social media and inbound marketing. We'd love to share what we've discovered with you.
Rainmaker offers tiered SEO packages that will enhance your viability with the top search engines and thus promote better ranking performance. Some of the options we offer in our tiered monthly packages include social bookmarks; blog entries on your blog based on website relevance; blog comments with backlinks; articles created and submitted to 100 or more websites; directory profiles; and .edu and .gov high-value backlinks.
It's hard to get noticed in todays world of overflowing inboxes and piles of junk mail. One of our boutique services is creating specialty marketing campaigns to an exclusive target audience that's sure to make an impact. Whether you're trying to get your foot in the door or just trying to reconnect with old clients, a unique direct mail campaign can make all the difference!
How many of you dread trade shows? Does the very thought bring images of standing behind a plastic-draped folding table in a crowded hotel ballroom? That doesn't have to be the outcome. In fact, trade show appearances can be one of the most valuable marketing tools in your arsenal. The two keys to a successful trade show are effective planning and the ability to stimulate your customers.
By being seen by your target audience – and by showing up your competitors – you can make a huge, positive impression. From creative concept through implementation, Rainmaker knows all the tips and tricks to make sure your trade show experience is a successful one.
It's no longer just a prediction: video is here.
Video is the ideal medium for distributing product information, user instructions, employee training, branding, client testimonials … all aspects of marketing, really. It gives you the opportunity to interact with your customers in a personal way which is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses.
Rainmaker has extensive experience creating videos for our clients, and it's more cost-effective than you may think. Given that people of all ages have diminishing attention spans, a video as short as 15 seconds can convey more than thousands of words may in other mediums. We can create a video tailored to your product, service and audience that can be used on your website, throughout your social media, and as part of an integrated email marketing plan. Take a look at some of the videos and then give us a call. We'll show you how.
Rainmaker can serve as your outsourced marketing department and will use the comprehensive skill set of our staff and extensive network of experienced long-time associates to provide project administration, marketing consultation, Web programming, graphic design, social media experience, copywriting, and more. Our responsibilities will include monitoring timelines, providing individual estimates on marketing projects, and pursuing fulfillment bids from three different printers. One of the advantages to contracting with Rainmaker is that we have the resources to skillfully perform a wide range of tasks concurrently.
P.S. By re-allocating a budget usually spent for one employee, you'll benefit from access to the talent pool of an entire advertising agency!

Aarogya Setu Mobile App: A Necessary Evil?
Posted by The Original Position on May 10, 2020 May 10, 2020
Ms. Shailja Rawal
"The worst happens when you are least expecting it"
While the world is busy dealing with the COVID – 19 pandemic, is it true that Indian Government is inventing ways to curb the fundamental rights of its citizens? One of the recent developments in this regard is launch of the mobile application Aarogya Setu which helps citizens ascertain their risks of contracting the virus. With more than 80 million people having downloaded the app, the question as to the diminishing status of fundamental rights becomes even more pertinent. One must be wondering that how the choice of installing a mere mobile application can infringe the fundamental rights of a citizen, this article serves the answer to it and also suggests the way forward.
Aarogya Setu app: An Unconstitutional Barter system of Fundamental Rights
The scope of Article 21 has been broadened in the recent times to give depth to the "inner" aspects of the right to life. Right to make free choice is one of them. Ideally speaking, it's the personal discretion of the individual whether to install a given app or not. But unfortunately, this is not true for Aarogya Setu. When viewed in the light of externalities it can be inferred that this "free choice" is a mere Hobson's choice. From imposing an obligation on all public sector employees and courts granting bail on the condition of installing this app to some states even criminalizing citizens for not downloading the app makes one question the intrinsic meaning of the word 'free choice'. If a parallel is drawn with the Aadhar case, one realizes the metamorphosis of the term 'voluntary' to 'voluntary cum mandatory' and transition of today's option which may end up becoming tomorrow's compulsion. Doubts arise regarding the constitutionality of the app not only on the basis of Article 21 but also Article 19(1) which entails within itself Right to free movement.
This can be observed from the fact that the current government is planning to implement this app to generate e-passes. The app assigns 3 different colours for the citizens based on their vulnerability to catch corona virus. This colour in turn would determine the movement of its citizens and subject them to different levels of restrictions thereof. In the status quo, already some restrictions have been imposed. For example the app is now mandatory to travel across state borders and only 'safe' or 'low risk' status employees are now permitted to go to office, rest have been asked to stay at homes and undergo self quarantine. Unfortunately there are indications of it being used to avail basic services like getting ration, medicines etc. This situation makes one fear that India should not become the next China where fundamental rights and civil liberties of citizens have been conveniently pushed to a backseat.
Although this pandemic has proven to be bad for all but unfortunately it has become worse for some as they have been forced to weigh their fundamental rights and treat them as being mutually exclusive to each other. While government stands silent regarding the infringement of right to choice or right to movement, further the questions arise regarding the rights of under privileged sector of the society who do not even have a smart phone to install the given app, thereby infringing their right to equality under Article 14. These people constitute around 24% of the entire population and unfortunately their right to movement is also currently looming in darkness.
Testing the app against the cornerstone of Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019
Digging deeper into the topic, it can be said that this mobile app does not only hit against the cornerstone of the constitution but also goes against the policy envisaged in Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019. Concerns can be witnessed from the very first step i.e. the constitution of the committee itself hasn't been declared in any public forum and it ironically excludes doctors or any kind of official healthcare workers which could analyse the medical situation. Moving to the crux of the Data Protection Bill, 2019 it is found out that it rests on certain principles and unfortunately the terms and conditions laid down in the Aarogya Setu App violate some of these core principles thus, in a way attacking the right to privacy of citizens. The collection limitation principle enshrined under Section 6 states that data collected should be directly necessary to the cause in a way preventing the citizens to collect unnecessary data. The app requires much more data and personal information like profession and smoking habits etc. which is not the case for other apps like Trace Together or Safe Kits. The Privacy Policy also reveals that the application collects the phone's location data and maintains a record of all the places the user may have visited. Also, the app stands silent on the ground of obfuscation of this information in the form of a temporary device ID. This information when shared with other devices increases the sense of vulnerability among citizens. Transparency principle also stands vitiated as there is no effort on the part of the government to release source code or other technical details regarding the app for public scrutiny.
Although all of these concerns can be mitigated on the grounds of Section 15, Data protection Bill 2019 which talks about public health emergency yet the main problem arises with the clause of the app which says that personal information of the user can be maintained even after its uninstallation. Even though there is a provision of the data being removed after 30 day time period if the person is found to be healthy but this comes in combination with some exceptions which can be invoked on government's discretion. Thus, this creates a suspicion on the grounds of data being collected through the user temporarily during the pandemic may continue to exist until perpetuity. The suspicion further aggravates due to lack of any public audit which can assure the citizen that his/her information has been deleted or not. The situation gets even worse since India does not have a well-developed law regarding data protection, this increases the possibility of government evading the sanctions, if imposed any. Even though such apps are released by other countries also but there lies a huge difference in the approach followed between the two. Governments of other jurisdictions even in these challenging times are comparatively following a privacy friendly approach whereas India is constantly compelling its citizens to pick and choose any one fundamental right out of the two i.e. privacy or safety.
Singapore monitors people's interactions through Bluetooth beacons, MIT does it through GPS, however India uses both.
Other apps just collect one data point which is subsequently replaced with a scrubbed device identifier. India's Aarogya Setu collects multiple data points for personal and sensitive personal information which increases privacy risks.
Weighing safety of all against privacy of few
Although these concerns prove to be real time issues but given these times of pandemic do we really have the option of discarding the one and only alternative of ensuring safety. Even Right to privacy is not an absolute right and can be subjected to reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2) and sometimes even overridden by competing state and individual interests. It has been conceded that health concerns can trump privacy considerations. The Supreme Court in Justice K. S. Puttaswamy (Retd) v. Union of India laid down the proportionality test according to which one of the components states that there should be a balance between infringement of rights and overall public benefit. Ideally speaking, fundamental rights should not be seen as trade off commodities out of which the best possible option has to be picked up and chosen. But, unfortunately the ground reality in these challenging times is a little different and therefore answering in hypotheticals is not a feasible solution. The present unprecedented situation is a clash between the individual right to privacy and the acts done in good faith during a crisis to ensure safety. The government has resorted to a utilitarian analysis where benefits of all seem to prevail over costs imposed on the few. Certain judgments such as Smt. Lucy R. D'Souza and Etc. v. State of Goa and Others and Mr X v. Hospital Z held that in circumstances where public health is at stake, individual rights and liberties come secondary. If SARS were to teach us anything today, it would be that in the face of an evolving threat, even government has no choice but to weigh personal liberty against potential grave threats. Due to lack of any alternative mechanism in the present times, probably breaching privacy is the only option available even though it might not be the best possible one. Similarly, in yet another smallpox epidemic, case of Jacobson v Massachusetts held that freedom of individual must be subordinated to common welfare.
It is a well-known fact that rash and negligent driving causes around 20,000 deaths each year but what is the way out. Now, all of us cannot sit at homes or abandon driving altogether because of the huge number of deaths caused. So, government came up with the concept of licensing plates which have to be displayed on the front and back of the car so that people get to know who is driving. Technically speaking, this too is a breach of privacy but we as a society have adopted it to maintain a healthy balance between individual rights and community benefits. These are desperate times and the state cannot be entirely blamed for resorting to extreme measures, but attempts have to be made to ensure individual safeguard of rights upholding the ideals of Data Protection Bill, 2019, lest rights forgone today as an exception may become the norm tomorrow. Practically speaking, Although India cannot all of a sudden imitate the app technology of Singapore which is comparatively more user friendly yet certain measures can be adopted like scrutinizing the app through public audit, removing the possibility of perpetual loss of personal information to the government etc. to ensure a healthy balance between community welfare and individual concerns. While one cannot expect the same level of privacy as in times of peace, but we have to ensure that laws are not altogether thrown to the wind and certain time-bound suggestions are put in place. Need of the hour for the government is to engage with the public regarding the concerns on the app which will mitigate their grievances and build in them a sense of confidence about an Orwellian state not being the future of India. There is a good possibility that even then, a cent percent accurate outcome will not be brought into picture but the government's silence which is now being construed as opacity will be removed to a great extent. A country cannot run solely on the burden of either citizens or government, thus a combination of sacrifices made from both ends will do wonders in ensuring a healthy balance and sailing through this pandemic.

The Lady's Still Not For Turning
Recently, I came across a popular online quiz known as the "political compass quiz". Having been familiar with its popularity and also personally self-obsessed like everyone else, I decided to take the quiz with enough motivation to finish it. The questions written by clear political scholars were pretentious and misleading, and I tried my best to answer the intended premise of each one, rather than the actual question itself. After a long ride through the overrated cycle of current political issues, I finished with results that I already knew to be true in the first place, and was then able to reflect upon the stupidity of intentionally wasting 30 minutes of my time with a nice smile on my face. More importantly though, I caught a glimpse of the coordinate plane on my results page that showed the different political ideologies as well as notable figures from history placed accordingly. Joseph Stalin was on the authoritative left, Milton Friedman was on the libertarian right, Ghandi was on the libertarian left, and Adolf Hitler was on the authoritarian right. This does seem accurate enough, but there was another famous individual known for her steadfast and undaunted persistence also present on the political scale. It was none other than the "Iron Lady" herself: Margaret Thatcher. Her very presence on the scale wasn't particularly surprising, but rather it was her location that was truly extraordinary. She was placed on the authoritarian right, ever so close to the notorious Hitler. Now, I don't doubt her ideologies alleged by the political scholars, as her history demonstrates a clear lean to the right, with principles such as privatization and marketization being heavily applied to education, banks, and trade unions (a popular issue at the time). Her authoritarian and autocratic leadership was also evident with the fact that Thatcher ardently transposed her ideas upon the minds of her entire party with a radical will for action that spread throughout England. She happily depicted her defiance and control in the famous "The Lady's Not For Turning" speech, in which she referenced opposing political adversaries and remained confident in her policies despite the dissent. If any more proof needed, she was described as "headstrong," "obstinate," and "dangerously self-opinionated" by the personnel at a plastics company she applied for after completing tertiary education. Despite this accuracy however, the combination of her illegitimate placement and ever-lasting controversy effectively saturates the thinking of all participants in this test to one of distanced dislike and even abhorrence of the former Prime Minister. I believe that some more awareness should be brought to her tainted reputation that will ultimately dispel from your mind the act of defining people solely by their political leaning on paper and make you focus on their true historical faults and accomplishments in order to encourage more critical thinking. Born to a middle-class family in a small town in eastern England, Thatcher was exposed to the bottom of half of the country in terms of wealth. Many argue that these roots were one of the factors that lead to her conservatism. After completing primary and secondary education, Thatcher entered Somerville College, Oxford, a women's college, to study chemistry. A diligent yet opinionated student, she graduated with high marks and also participated in many political organizations within the school, being elected president of the Oxford University Conservative Association. After abandoning her career in chemistry, she rose through the ranks using her innate personality and political talent to eventually achieve high governmental positions such as the Education Secretary and Leader of the Opposition in parliament, serving under both major political parties. Despite decisions that were met with hostility, including the one to ban free milk for school children aged 7-9, dubbing her one of her first nicknames "Margaret Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher", she never disembodied her views or self-confidence. After her rise in government and popularity, she was finally elected Prime Minister of Great Britain on May 4th, 1979. Her time as Prime Minister was undoubtedly considered most representative of her political ideology and defining character. It began with her directive to repel the invading Argentenian forces from the British controlled Falkland Islands through a successful military campaign. This allowed her approval rating to increase and it cast an optimistic aura upon the future of her tenure to discourage any doubt of her administrative capabilities. Her economic reforms guided by her belief in the free market such as increasing interest rates, lowering income taxes while increasing indirect taxes, as well as privatizing numerous industries to increase competition led to substantial economic growth in the UK. The country was able to lower inflation and lift itself out of the recession by the early '80s, recovering its legitimacy as a world power well connoted by the historical name "Britannia". Thatcher's environmental efforts were also celebrated for being vital to establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and she was able to promote the issues of climate change and acid rain to those of critical status. These domestic and international victories are all examples of how Thatcher brought Britain back to booming. Now, Thatcher is well deserving of this praise, but a failure to recognize her faults as Prime Minister can lead to a loss of independent thinking and a blind reliance and dependence of conscience on an authoritative figure clearly not promoted to sainthood. Unfortunately, there were moments of her time in office that many cite accordingly, such as her overt dislike for trade unions, resulting in a refusal for cooperation. She disbanded many of these unions and shut down hundreds of coal mines and other industries with workers heavily participating in the unions. This led to massive strikes followed by intense violence, and although some admire Thatcher for her efforts in putting down these rebellions, it still remains a low time of betrayal and destruction. Moreover, although her unshakeable conviction can be viewed as a positive attribute, many interpret this as a shield used against opposing political ideas, and Thatcher was widely criticized for being close-minded and even myopic. Her economic reforms, although beneficial for the overall economy and consumers, did result in higher unemployment rates for most of her tenure, which devastated many families. These points demonstrate the dangers of possessing a one-sided view of how a country should be run, and still remain to be the main faults of "Thatcherism". Although her accomplishments and controversies associated with her history cannot be entirely summarized, I believe that her immense love for her country and thereby action to serve and improve it successfully show that she is undeserving of political generalization and complete mischaracterization inflicted upon her by the previously noted political scholars. The oversimplification of complex ideologies can also lead us to be much more dismissive and narrow-minded when considering Thatcher's or anyone else's opinions. This also exposes the danger of misinformation and group-think ever so plentiful in the current political world. Instead of judging someone solely based upon their empirical political ideologies and accordingly defining them as "friends" or "enemies," we must delve into the much more vast and informative world of history to explore the ideas and actions of individuals presented throughout their entire life so we can truly understand them as a whole, which transcends the box-like thinking of the political compass test. The test should therefore be used more predominantly for entertainment purposes rather than for defining a person with such strict and misleading terms. This will allow us to independently evaluate how influential the positives and negatives of each person were on the world, which makes us become more educated, and more experienced with critical thinking so that we ourselves can enact change. In light of this, I must inspire you to take action by referencing this quote adapted by Thatcher from the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi that started her journey as Prime Minister. "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony; Where there is error, may we bring truth; Where there is doubt, may we bring faith; And where there is despair, may we bring hope."

Arsenal FC Headlines Marcus Kwesi O'Mard Premier League Soccer
Per Mertesacker Undergoes Ankle Surgery, Arsenal Defender Likely Out for Rest of Season
by Marcus Kwesi O'Mard
Per Mertesacker's bad news means Arsenal's week of misery just got much worse. The club announced the German center back has undergone reconstructive ankle surgery, which will likely keep him out for the rest of the season.
"Unfortunately he has had surgery and we have lost him for a while," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "How long I don't know. He had reconstruction of his ligaments. So it will be long term."
Mertesacker suffered the injury in the second half of Saturday 's 2-1 win over Sunderland. He fell awkwardly as he was turning, which gifted Sunderland the game's opening goal.
It was initially feared that he would miss up to a month of action, but German national team doctors confirmed the Gunners' worst fears.
He underwent surgery to reconstruct the ligaments in his right ankle. He suffered the same injury last season while he was playing with German club Werder Bremen.
The will likely keep Mertesacker out for the rest of the season, and casts doubt on his participation in this summer's European Championship. He is a longtime starter at the center of defense for Germany. The Germans are one of the favorites to win the competition.

:fire: A slick Admin Interface for monitoring your Beanstalkd queues right out of your Laravel application. :fire:

## Installation

Require the package through composer

```
composer require dionera/laravel-beanstalkd-ui
```

### Version Table

| Laravel | Required PHP Version | Package Version |
|:--------|:----|:--------|
| `^5.7.28` | `^7.2` | `^2.0` |
| `^6.0`, `^7.0` | `^7.2` | `^2.1` |
| `^7.0` | `^7.4` | `^3.0` |
| `^7.0`, `^8.0` | `^7.4` | `^3.1` |
| `^8.0` | `^7.4`, `^8.0` | `^4.0` |

### Publish assets

Next we need to publish the package's assets. We do this by running the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dionera\BeanstalkdUI\BeanstalkdUIServiceProvider" --tag="public"
```

This will publish all the required Javascript and CSS into your applications `public/vendor/beanstalkdui` folder.

### View it in the browser

Now navigate to `http://<your-app>/beanstalkd/tubes` in your browser. If you're not already authenticated you will now be asked to log in. This is because by
default all routes use the `auth` middleware. See the [Configuration](#configuration) section for information about how to overwrite this.

## Live Updating

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dionera/laravel-beanstalkd-admin-ui/master/live_updating.gif)

## Configuration

In order to overwrite the default configuration we first need to publish the package's config file.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dionera\BeanstalkdUI\BeanstalkdUIServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

This will place a `beanstalkdui.php` in your application's `config` folder. Inside you will find the following settings:

| Value | Default | Description |
|-------|--------|:---------|
| `host` | `'127.0.0.1'` | The Beanstalkd host. |
| `port` | `11300` | The Port Beanstalkd is running on. |
| `middleware` | `['web', 'auth']` | An array of middlewares which get applied to all the package's routes. If no middleware should be applied simply remove `auth` from the array. |
| `prefix` | '' | Route prefix that should be applied the Admin UI routes. |
| `failed_jobs` | `true` | Defines if you want to be able to also manage your failed jobs through the UI. If set to `true` an additional table containing all failed jobs for the current tube will be displayed. |
| `failed_jobs_table` | `failed_jobs` | The name of the table containing your failed jobs. |

The MLS Million Dollar Challenge – What Was Learned and a Revs Comparison
Digging into MLS salary numbers is a bit like knowing I'll get a hangover, but opening that next bottle of wine anyway. The problem is, understanding the salary cap and restrictions are core to understanding the league.
The hardest part of finishing up this series of around building an MLS roster for one million dollars in total compensation is that there are so many interesting ideas to follow up with that it's hard to keep focused on a few key points.
But let's give it a try…
First, I wanted to point out that my use of total compensation rather than base salary information exaggerated the challenge, since base salaries are more relevant for the MLS salary cap, which is currently around $2.5 Million for a full roster.
However, at worst, it made the challenge more difficult. When using the more salary-cap-relevant base salary information, the team I picked would have cost $844,960 in base 2010 salary. This means that the team, which I still think would be competitive in MLS, would only be one third of a typical MLS club's budget.
Not bad.
It's also worth pointing out that in creating this exercise, I'm dealing in a completely implausible world where I can sift through league rosters and choose whoever I want. No front-office in the league has ever been offered such a luxury. Even expansion teams are only able to pick from non-protected players – where smart teams weed out the best bargains before the draft.
One of the biggest considerations in my view, was how to achieve the best team balance. Anyone familiar with MLS can recall an exciting passing sequence, or especially creative move, that is immediately followed by a missed trap of the most basic variety that sees the ball go out of bounds.
Is there anything more frustrating?
This is one area that seems to be a particular struggle for MLS teams like my local New England Revolution. I ran some numbers to compare the roster I picked for that million dollars to the roster the Revolution fielded against Philadelphia that same weekend I was in the middle of my salary number crunching.
In that game, the Revs lineup was $300K-plus more than my selected team, and they were without an otherwise obvious starter of Matt Reis, who would have added another $100K+ to the starting eleven.
This picture is a graph that plots the salaries of my lesser-paid starting eleven versus the Revolution starting eleven for that game. (The picture sorts from low-to-high based on base 2010 salary.)
The Revs lineup (v. Union) vs. My $Million 11
What's more interesting is that even with the higher overall salary value, for that game, if you were to pile all the players into a single group (the Revs starting eleven plus my choices) of 22 players, six of the lowest seven base salaries would have been Revolution players, as would six of the bottom nine based on total compensation.
To further illustrate the current Revolution challenge, here's a chart of the base and total compensation of all 2010 Revolution players, including those dropped and added mid-season.
Anyone who tracks the Revolution does not need to have it emphasized that two of the three players that constitute that "hockey stick" rise in salaries are not on the field in 2010 (Twellman, Jankauskas) – totally slamming any sense of balance in our lineup. However, there is a crowd of "barely paid" professionals at the other end of the spectrum that see plenty of action.
To me this illustrates the extreme importance of placing winning bets with highly paid players, and perhaps the greater importance of spreading the wealth to solid players across the lineup.
What becomes clear is that, despite having positioned the lack of an aggressive pursuit of a Designated Player on the idea that it might unbalance the Revolution's history of a solid lineup and cohesive locker room, the team is already very unbalanced.
Despite the fact that MLS slush-funds for salary cap use (aka, allocation money) blurs things, it still appears that the Revolution have the two most expensive non-DP's in the league – Taylor Twellman and Shalrie Joseph.
It's not the team's fault that Twellman's injury took him out for the year, but not being more aggressive with a creative answer to that major salary commitment is something they should answer for. (If he barely played last year, why risk such a huge investment in the roster all year? Was there no creative option left?)
Shalrie Joseph remains one of the league's top midfielders, but has had (for his standards) an up and down year, further marred by a league suspension for substance abuse issues (however minor some might argue they may have been.) That didn't help the "marketability" of him to an already reticent fan base.
Add to those issues a non-playing third most costly player and one of the league's most expensive goalkeepers and you end up with the worst-case scenario of an unbalanced team, where your biggest investments do not make a difference in the quality of play or team marketability.
The Revolution will never need to play my bargain basement top eleven, but I sure do wonder how that game have ended. If team balance is truly important for MLS success, which I suggest it is, someone needs to ask if the Revolution were ever really structured for success in 2010.
The bigger question is, how much can – and will – be changed for 2011?

First of all, resigned Jankasaurus has to go down in Revs history as one of the all time colossally bad decisions. He was obviously injury-prone and that ah…hasn't changed. To have so much money wrapped up in people who weren't going to play (and come on- Twellman wasn't playing) is just dumb. Then to sign up Joseph Niouky to guaranteed money and release him AFTER it was blindingly obvious he wouldn't start for some League Two sides…more braindead actions. Of course the (purposely) murky world of the Revs FO leaves us at a bit of a loss as to who we're supposed to blame.
I'm perfectly happy to lay a little bit of bit of blame on everyone. Everyone is too comfortable in their jobs. All of this research you've done is probably more than Mssrs. Bilello or Burns have done in the last 2 years.
Dan | September 10, 2010 at 10:14 am
This team is paying dearly from not being creative with their signings of Joseph and Twellman. Add the Lithuanian gimp to the payroll and now you have over a third of the teams salary wrapped up in 3 players. This team needs to call Chip Foose because the front office needs an overhaul in the worse way. Until that happens they will not get me to re-up for season tickets again
The Original Dan | September 10, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Interesting graphs.
Although the hockey stick will be seen with all teams, it is sad to see that 2 of our 3 highest players provide about as much to the team as you or I. That being said, clearly the FO has been lacking something recently. Whatever it has been, it is ruining the on-field product, and thus slowly (or very quickly rather) losing their fanbase.
I know injuries occur, and unfortunately that is something that must be dealt with. But when you see guys like Colaluca and Castro on the upper half of the salary list (and neither is still here), you cannot use that excuse. There have been some very poor personnal decisions, and it's time the people in charge man-up and do something to turn this team around.
Bob | September 10, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Thanks all for the thoughts. I still believe, which I know isn't universally shared, that those big, expensive bets should also be marketing bets as well as player bets. Double the bang for risk.
Other investments should be spread such that you are not so dependent on one or two leaders. Perovic is a step in the right direction.
Original Dan… Colaluca is still there, though it doesn't show in playing time. I think he was on a Project 40 contract or something so he's better paid than his playing time might seem logical. Castro is an odd one, as I agree he was pretty well paid given his production, but we dropped him and continue to play Khanihno on the left. Not sure we are better for that.

Under Leonard Carmichael, who served as the seventh Smithsonian Secretary from 1953 to 1964, the Institution began a major period of postwar expansion and modernization. Carmichael, the son of a physician and a teacher, was born in 1898, in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He received his BS degree from Tufts University in 1924, and his PhD from Harvard University in 1924. For fourteen years, Carmichael taught at Brown University, focusing on an experimental psychology with primates. He was appointed president of Tufts University in 1938, serving until his departure for the Smithsonian in 1953.
AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE
Carmichael was the first Secretary to be hired from outside the Institution, rather than promoted from within. He brought new ideas, skills, and style to the role of Secretary. He possessed a far more formal personality than his predecessors, Charles Greeley Abbot and Alexander Wetmore, but his imposing presence had an impact in Washington, DC. Carmichael built on Wetmore's base, increasing federal and private funds for growth and modernization across the Smithsonian. He secured funding for the History and Technology Building (now the National Museum of American History), and secured continuing appropriations for modernization in all the museums. Every year, new exhibits attracted increasing audiences, and visitorship to the Institution rose from 3.5 million to 10 million per year.
A MODERN INSTITUTION
During Carmichael's tenure, the National Portrait Gallery was created, and the Patent Office Building was acquired for the American Art and Portrait Galleries. New wings were added to the National Museum of Natural History, Hope Diamond was donated by Harry Winston, and the Fénykövi elephant was unveiled in the rotunda of the Natural History Museum. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory was revitalized and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1957, when Sputnik was launched, the observatory was the only US lab capable of tracking the Soviet satellite. After a tragic death of a visitor at the National Zoological Park, Carmichael sought additional funding for major improvements to meet safety regulations. The Friends of the National Zoo was created and a Master Plan for zoo improvement was formulated and initiated.
CARMICHAEL'S LEGACY
Most importantly, Carmichael focused on improving the quality of the research staff across the Institution. He personally interviewed every new researcher, an experience they described as equivalent to their PhD oral exams, since he read all their publications. He pushed for the development of new research programs, field work, publications, and exhibits. And he convinced the American people and the US Congress that the Smithsonian was worthy of increased investment, creating a financial platform for his successors. When he retired in 1964, he left a cadre of bright and creative young scholars, and a growing Institution in which they could work.

Theda Ukena (1432 en Oldersum - 16 de noviembre de 1494 en Greetsiel) fue entre 1466 y aproximadamente 1480 regente del Condado de Frisia Oriental.

Theda era la nieta y heredera del jefe Focko Ukena (fallecido en 1436) y nació en 1432 en Oldersum como hija de Uko Fockena y Heba Attena de Dornum. Probablemente fue llamada Theda por su abuela Theda de Reide, la primera esposa de  Focko Ukena. Su padre fue asesinado en junio de 1432.

En 1455 se convirtió en la segunda esposa de Ulrico I Cirksena, que era Conde de Frisia Oriental desde 1454. Entre 1457 y 1465, tuvieron seis hijos: Heba, Gela, Enno I, Edzard I el Grande, Ucko y Almuth. Theda trajo, entre otras reclamaciones, Oldersum al matrimonio, lo que debilitó considerablemente al jefe gobernante Wiard de Oldersum.

Después de la muerte de Ulrico en 1466 asumió las tareas oficiales de la casa de Cirksena. Fue asistida por el jefe Sibet Attena. Gobernó hasta aproximadamente 1480, cuando sus hijos Enno I y Edzard I alcanzaron la mayoría de edad.

Theda murió el 16 de noviembre de 1494 en Greetsiel.

The visuals follow multiple couples of all sexualities, dancing together in their intimate spaces, including Hawthorn and his partner. This is Hawthorn's coming out letter to his fans.
Cameron Hawthorn defies genres as an American singer-songwriter. His stunning vocals and songwriting blends elements of Americana, Country, Folk, and Pop/Rock to put him in a league of his own. Hailing from a small town in Kansas, he attributes his years of growing up in the Midwest to the authentic and honest storytelling found in his music. In his most recent work, Hawthorn has decided to sing directly and unashamedly about who he is, and through doing so has created his strongest work to date.
With the underlying theme of showing your truest, most vulnerable self, Hawthorn has set out with the desire to deliver listeners the message that 'love is love'. He expresses, «For me and for so many others, that message is beyond important. It's a simple message, but it needs to be told right now in the world we live in». After years of being in the closet and subtly avoiding songwriting about romantic love, Hawthorn admits «I finally decided I needed to record and release this as a part of my journey».
Leading single «Dancing In The Living Room» narrates the feeling of dancing with a loved one in the most intimate of places. Hawthorn confides, «I remember always thinking how special it was to dance freely with my boyfriend in the living room of our apartment – being gay, it's not as easy to dance as a couple in public together as it is for a straight couple. I wanted to express how special that moment is for a couple, when it's just the two of you in the privacy of your own four walls». Featuring organic instrumentation and passionate heartfelt vocals that glide gently atop the soft sweeping melodies, «Dancing In The Living Room» is a wholehearted love song. The visuals further expresses the narrative, showcasing a side of Hawthorn that has never been revealed publicly.
Influenced by the likes of Johnny Cash, James Taylor and Fleetwood Mac, Hawthorn aims to make music with the same raw narrative – pure and real, classy and classic. With the hope that his upcoming releases will inspire people from all backgrounds to be true to themselves, Cameron Hawthorn is ready for the world to see the next chapter of his musical journey.
At the first lines of the lyrics of «Dancing In The Living Room», made me fall in love with this beautiful song – it's a song that balms your ears, and suddenly strikes directly to your heart. Stop fighting it, you can't resist it in the end anyways – just give in and enjoy it!
«Dancing In The Living Room» entered LGBTQ Music Chart this Sunday as newcomer for Week 13 2019 – you can vote here.

When my eldest son Colby died by suicide I experienced a radical discontinuity. The ground under foot gave way and with it went the conceptual reality underpinning my once solid-seeming world. Things I held dear were rendered moot as I found myself in a strange place of surging energy riveting me to the couch, while nearby friends and family seemed like shadows I could not reach. The edges of my body were indistinct and my senses were heightened to an alarming degree making all interaction difficult, even going to the grocery.
Unable to communicate with loving family and friends in any meaningful way I fell back on the written word, hoping somehow to connect. From the beginning writing became a life-line keeping me from drifting away as I simply noted what was happening inside and outside of me.
As time passed some well-intentioned words struck so hard my body would recoil, seeking shelter. Writing then became a place of respite and reflection, simply noticing what IS.
The trauma of my son's death was so severe it broke me open. Strange as it may seem, in this opening I count myself lucky for it catapulted me beyond my usual avoidance strategies. While not an easy journey, I was compelled to explore my new world for it was more real than anything I had ever experienced. Once seeming contradictions were suddenly resolved when viewed from my new vantage. The scales were broken and this world of dual with its pairs of opposites, good/bad, right/wrong, loss/gain, pleasure/pain, were revealed: a wholeness.
Even so, one moment feeling at peace with the paradoxical nature of things, the next I would fall back into notions of what I longed for or feared or how things "should" be, at which point I could feel my body tighten around storyline tape-loops running endlessly in my head. Now the writing became a way to ground in the only thing I knew to be true, my feelings and bodily sensations.
When I managed to simply sit with my feelings, not attaching any storylines, the sensations while uncomfortable became manageable. Back and forth I struggled until learning to stay with the sensations and new awareness accompanying loss, breathing into them, noticing everything, relaxing when my body tightened around an idea or my breath caught in my throat. In this laborsome way I discovered that leaning into, rather than away from what IS, is key to finding release from pain—a paradox. At which point instead of consuming judgments setting me apart, I found compassion in my heart and writing became a reaching out, to lend a hand to others.
"Life is so beautiful in its triumphs and tragedies.
Everywhere I look I see it now.

Institutul Wiesenthal pentru Studierea Holocaustului din Viena (VWI) (Wiener Wiesenthal Institut für Holocaust-Studien - VWI) este un centru de cercetare dedicat studierii, documentării și informării asupra tuturor aspectelor referitoare la antisemitism, rasism și Holocaust, inclusiv evenimentele care au precedat, cât și consecințele Holocaustului. Institutul a fost înființat de Simon Wiesenthal, alături de cercetători austrieci și străini. Institutul se află în Viena, Austria, și este finanțat de primăria orașului și de către Ministerul Federal al Științei, Cercetării și Economiei.

Istoric

Spre sfârșitul vieții sale, Simon Wiesenthal și-a exprimat dorința ca arhiva pe care o deținea să devină accesibilă cercetării ulterioare și o bază pentru studierea Holocaustului în Viena. Așadar, atunci când Comunitatea Evreilor din Viena (IKG) împreună cu instituții științifice din Viena i-au propus să înființeze un centru pentru studierea Holocaustului, Wiesenthal s-a implicat personal – alături de cercetători austrieci și străini – în conceperea unui institut, înainte de decesul său din 2005.

Institutul Wiesenthal a fost înființat în 2009 și este pe deplin operațional din 2012.

Organizare

Organizațiile care sprijină activitatea Institutului Wiesenthal sunt Comunitatea Evreilor din Viena (IKG), Centrul de Documentare Evreiască (Dokumentationszentrum des Bundes Jüdischer Verfolgter des Naziregimes), Arhiva Rezistenței Austriece (Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes DÖW), Institutul de Istorie Contemporană din cadrul Universității din Viena (Institut für Zeitgeschichte der Universität Wien), Muzeul Evreiesc din Viena, Alianța Internațională pentru Rememorarea Holocaustului (IHRA) și Centrul pentru Istoria Culturii Evreilor din cadrul Universității din Salzburg (Zentrum für jüdische Kulturgeschichte, Universität Salzburg).

Consiliul Director al Institutului Wiesenthal este numit de către reprezentanții acestor organizații. Acest consiliu are cea mai mare putere de decizie privind toate aspectele organizaționale ale Institutului Wiesenthal.

Comisia Internațională de Experți Academici este un factor de decizie important în toate aspectele referitoare la activități științifice. Comisia este formată din cel puțin 12 experți de renume internațional, dintre care minim 9 trebuie să activeze în afara Austriei și maxim 3 pot proveni de la instituții universitare din Austria. Este deosebit de important pentru institut ca această comisie să fie interdisciplinară.

În ceea ce privește aspectele administrative zilnice, institutul Wiesenthal este condus de un director, un director de programe de cercetare și de către personalul institutului, care, în ansamblul său, răspunde de toate activitățile institutului. Aceste activități se încadrează în următoarele categorii: cercetare, documentare și informare. În cadrul celor trei categorii, institutul adresează toate aspectele referitoare la antisemitism, rasism și Holocaust, inclusiv evenimentele care au precedat, cât și consecințele Holocaustului.

Activități principale

Cercetarea din cadrul Institutului Wiesenthal urmărește să acopere subiecte internaționale și interdisciplinare. Cercetarea se realizează sub una din două forme: prin programul anual de burse pentru doctoranzi și cercetători juniori și seniori sau prin proiecte de cercetare de durate diferite, inițiate de Institutul Wiesenthal. Numeroase proiecte de cercetare privind istoria antisemitismului și a Holocaustului au fost planificate și sunt deja propuse pentru finanțare sau se află în curs de desfășurare.

Începând cu toamna anului 2012, institutul a găzduit anual câte doi profesori, doi cercetători post-doctorali și patru doctoranzi în cadrul programului de burse pentru cercetători. În general, bursele se anunță la sfârșitul anului calendaristic. Deciziile privind alocarea burselor se iau anual, primăvara, de către o sub-comisie din cadrul Comisiei de Experți Academici, împreună cu un membru al departamentului de cercetare al Institutului Wiesenthal.

Arhivele Institutului Wiesenthal, conținând arhiva lui Simon Wiesenthal și documente referitoare la Holocaust din arhiva Comunității Evreilor din Viena (IKG), cât și biblioteca institutului, al cărei volum se află în continuă creștere, răspund de documentare și sunt spațiul unde se desfășoară evenimente de interes academic precum cursuri, conferințe, ateliere de lucru și intervenții în spațiul public pentru informare și educare.

S:I.M.O.N. – Shoah: Intervenții. Metode. Documentare. este jurnalul electronic al institutului, care publică transcrierile seriei de prezentări academice "Simon Wiesenthal" organizate de institut, documentele elaborate de cercetătorii din cadrul programului de burse și articole selectate de către Comisia Editorială. Seria de cărți a Institutului Wiesenthal este editată de editura vieneză New Academic Press. Buletinul informativ al institutului, "VWI im Fokus", care este redactat în limba germană și are o apariție bianuală, aduce la cunoștința publicului larg toate evenimentele și activitățile din viitorul apropiat.

Evenimente

Pentru a-și atinge scopul, Institutul Wiesenthal organizează diferite evenimente pentru comemorarea Holocaustului.

Seria de prezentări academice "Simon Wiesenthal", renumite deja ca fiind un eveniment marca Institutul Wiesenthal, își propun să aducă în atenția unui public mai larg studiile din domeniul Holocaustului, cu ajutorul cercetătorilor de renume internațional. La sfârșitul fiecărui an calendaristic, Institutul Wiesenthal organizează "Conferința Simon Wiesenthal", în timp ce la începutul fiecărei veri, un mic atelier de lucru este organizat cu scopul de a dezbate ultimile tendințe din domeniul studiului Holocaustului. "VWI-Visuals" (VWI-Vizual) este un eveniment creat cu scopul de a expune reprezentări vizuale uitate sau necunoscute ale Holocaustului. În plus, intervenții în spațiul public sunt organizate cu scopul de a comemora anumite evenimente și aniversări prin metode inovatoare și uneori neconvenționale.

CBS streaming service to grow with Viacom, Paramount videos
FILE - In this Jan. 12, 2020, file photo Chief Digital Officer, ViacomCBS, and CEO and President, CBS Interactive, Marc DeBoise speaks at the Executive Presentation during the CBS TCA Winter 2020 Press Tour at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, Calif.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – ViacomCBS is planning a new streaming service that will combine the existing CBS All Access service with Paramount movies and shows from Viacom channels such as MTV and BET.
The move had been expected since CBS and Viacom combined in August to better compete in the increasingly competitive streaming environment.
CBS was one of the first media companies to launch its own streaming service. Its $6-a-month service CBS All Access includes original programming such as new "Star Trek" series and a revival of "The Twilight Zone." The service also has old and current broadcast shows.
Since then, Disney launched its $7-a-month Disney Plus service, while Comcast's NBCUniversal and AT&T's WarnerMedia have services coming, tapping movies and shows from their channels and production studios. The companies are all trying to challenge Netflix, Amazon and other established players in the streaming arena as their channels face challenges from people ditching cable TV subscriptions.
In a call Thursday with investors, CEO Bob Bakish said ViacomCBS plans to add "substantial content" to CBS All Access to create a "combined 'House of Brand' product."
That means adding content from Viacom properties Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET and Smithsonian and movies from the Paramount library.
Bakish said the new service is designed to fill the gap between ViacomCBS' free ad-supported service, PlutoTV, and its premium Showtime service, which costs $11 a month. It is set to launch later this year. Bakish did not say how much the new service will cost or whether its name will remain CBS All Access.
The CBS and Showtime streaming services now have 11 million monthly active users combined. ViacomCBS is targeting 16 million by the end of the year. PlutoTV has 22 million monthly active users, and ViacomCBS is targeting 30 million by the end of the year.
Separately, WarnerMedia said it reached a deal with Google's YouTube TV service to offer the upcoming HBO Max as an add-on to YouTube TV's $50-a-month subscription. It will cost extra, but the price wasn't immediately disclosed. HBO Max will cost $15 on its own, though some AT&T customers will get it for free. AT&T has said it was working on deals to bundle HBO Max with other companies that offer HBO to their services.

HARUTUNIAN, J.*
Austin Robert Butler pleaded no contest to unlawful possession of ammunition and admitted to prior prison terms in exchange for five years' probation. After Butler violated his probation terms, the trial court revoked probation in February 2020.
Butler's sole claim on appeal is that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revoke his probation under Assembly Bill No. 1950 (2019–2020 Reg. Sess.) because it applies retroactively. (Stats. 2020, ch. 328, § 2.) He argues that we should reverse, remand, and instruct the trial court to reinstate and then terminate his probation because he already served the maximum probation term allowed under Assembly Bill No. 1950.
The People concede that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revoke Butler's probation and agree that we should remand. But they argue that on remand we should permit the People and trial court the opportunity to withdraw approval of the negotiated plea agreement.
We reject this contention. We agree with the reasoning in People v. Stewart (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 1065, 277 Cal.Rptr.3d 247, review granted June 30, 2021, S268787 ( Stewart ). Stewart examined the issue presented here, followed the reasoning of our Supreme Court in Doe v. Harris (2013) 57 Cal.4th 64, 158 Cal.Rptr.3d 290, 302 P.3d 598, and held that in the context of
Assembly Bill No. 1950, entering into a negotiated plea agreement does not insulate the parties from mandatory changes in the law that the legislature intended to apply to them.
We reverse and remand for the trial court to modify the term of probation to conform with Assembly Bill No. 1950 and terminate its revocation of probation and Butler's related prison sentence.
While Butler was on probation, deputies in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went to his residence to arrest him pursuant to a no bail arrest warrant for absconding. There, they found 88 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition and 50 rounds of .38-caliber ammunition. Subsequently, Butler was charged in a felony complaint with unlawful possession of ammunition
and having two prior prison terms. The information charged the same.
On November 6, 2017, Butler pleaded no contest to the charge of unlawfully possessing the ammunition ( Pen. Code, § 30305, subd. (a)(1) ),1 and admitted to having two prior prison terms within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b). Butler agreed to a five-year state prison sentence, consisting of the "upper term" of three years as to the ammunition charge, plus two consecutive one-year prison priors, with the prison sentence suspended and Butler placed on five years of felony probation.
The trial court sentenced Butler in accordance with the plea agreement. Butler violated the terms and conditions of his probation on several occasions. Consequently, the trial court summarily revoked Butler's probation on February 6, 2020.
On January 1, 2021, Assembly Bill No. 1950 took effect and reduced the maximum probationary term for most felony offenses to two years. (Stats. 2020, ch. 328, § 2 ; § 1203.1, subds. (a), (m).)
On April 30, 2021, Butler admitted to violating probation. But he claimed that under Assembly Bill No. 1950 the trial court had lost jurisdiction to revoke his probation because he had already served the maximum felony probation term of two years. He was placed on probation on November 6, 2017. The trial court disagreed with Butler on the jurisdictional issue and held that because it revoked Butler's probation before the January 1, 2021 effective date of Assembly Bill No. 1950, it still had jurisdiction.
After finding it had jurisdiction, the trial court sentenced Butler to a three-year prison term. It recognized that the law had changed since the original five-year prison sentence, rendering two of the five years' sentence invalid because they were one-year prison enhancements under section 667.5 subdivision (b). The trial court therefore subtracted the two invalid years. The court awarded Butler custody and conduct credits, sentencing him to 320 days after application of credits.
Butler timely filed a notice of appeal and the trial court granted him a certificate of probable cause allowing him to appeal the jurisdictional ruling.
I. The Trial Court Lost Jurisdiction to Revoke Butler's Probation Pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 1950
At the time of Butler's sentencing in 2017, felony probation could be imposed for a maximum of five years or the length of the underlying prison term, whichever was shorter. (Former § 1203.1, subd. (a).) The trial court thus had the authority at sentencing to impose the initial five-year probation term.
Assembly Bill No. 1950 amended section 1203.1, subdivision (a), which now states in relevant part: "The court, or judge thereof, in the order granting probation, may suspend the imposing or the execution of the sentence and may direct that the suspension may continue for a period of time not exceeding two years, and upon those terms and conditions as it shall determine." ( § 1203.1, subd. (a).) There is an exception to the new two-year limitation for certain felonies, but the parties agree it does not apply here. (See § 1203.1, subd. (m).)
Butler contends that Assembly Bill No. 1950 applies retroactively to his probationary term. The People do not contest that Assembly Bill No. 1950 applies retroactively to cases not yet final on appeal, and they agree that the trial court had lost
jurisdiction to revoke probation when it sentenced Butler to 320 days in prison.
We agree with the parties. Every court of appeal to address this issue is in accord as to the retroactive application of Assembly Bill No. 1950 to cases not yet final, and we agree with their conclusions and reasoning and need not recite them here. (E.g., People v. Greeley (2021) 70 Cal.App.5th 609, 627, 285 Cal.Rptr.3d 548 ; People v. Czirban (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 1073, 1095, 282 Cal.Rptr.3d 817 ; People v. Schulz (2021) 66 Cal.App.5th 887, 895, 281 Cal.Rptr.3d 469 ;
People v. Gonsalves (2021) 66 Cal.App.5th 1, 12, 280 Cal.Rptr.3d 705 ; People v. Lord (2021) 64 Cal.App.5th 241, 245–246, 278 Cal.Rptr.3d 642 ; People v. Sims (2021) 59 Cal.App.5th 943, 955–964, 273 Cal.Rptr.3d 792 ( Sims ); People v. Quinn (2021) 59 Cal.App.5th 874, 879–885, 273 Cal.Rptr.3d 770 ( Quinn ) .)
Accordingly, Assembly Bill No. 1950 applies retroactively to Butler, and the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revoke his probationary term.
II. The People May Not Renegotiate the Plea on Remand
Butler and the People agree that we should remand, but disagree as to what should be permitted on remand. Butler asks this court to reverse the revocation of his probation in accord with Assembly Bill No. 1950, and then to order the trial court to reinstate and then terminate his probation because he already served more than the maximum probation term allowed. The People argue that the trial court and the People should be afforded the opportunity to accede to the modified term of probation or to withdraw approval for the negotiated plea agreement. We agree with Butler.
The People rely on our Supreme Court's decision in People v. Stamps (2020) 9 Cal.5th 685, 264 Cal.Rptr.3d 769, 467 P.3d 168 ( Stamps ). In Stamps , the court held that Senate Bill No. 1393, amending section 667, subdivision (a) to give trial courts the discretion to strike a five-year prior serious felony conviction enhancement, applied to the defendant's case retroactively. ( Stamps, supra, at p. 698, 264 Cal.Rptr.3d 769, 467 P.3d 168.) As to the remedy, the court rejected the defendant's argument that it should remand to the trial court to consider whether to exercise its new discretion to strike the serious felony conviction, while leaving the remainder of the plea agreement intact. ( Id. at p. 700, 264 Cal.Rptr.3d 769, 467 P.3d 168.) Stamps held that the because of Senate Bill No. 1393, the trial court could now exercise its discretion to dismiss a prior serious felony enhancement, but the prosecution could also withdraw from the plea agreement. ( Stamps, supra, at pp. 707–708, 264 Cal.Rptr.3d 769, 467 P.3d 168.)
The Stamps 's decision was based upon several factors tied to the law at issue there:...
