The Suwałki Special Economic Zone is one of fourteen special economic zones in Poland, which were created to serve the acceleration of economic growth in a given part of the country. The managing entity of the Zone is Suwałki Special Economic Zone S.A. (Joint Stock Company), which, since 1996, has been pursuing objectives and tasks conditioning the functioning of the special economic zone in the north-eastern part of Poland. Prior to the entry into force of the Act of May 10, 2018, on supporting new investments and executive acts to the Act, the Suwałki Special Economic Zone had covered an area of 19 separate subzones with a total area of 662.9506 ha, located across three voivodeships: Podlaskie, Warmian-Masurian and Mazovian.
Gołdap Subzone 57, 3240 ha
Suwałki Subzone 179, 3020 ha
Ełk Subzone 127, 4056 ha

The investment areas located in the aforementioned 19 subzones constitute the investment offer of SSSE S.A. These are plots of land prepared for a rapid investment process, having current local spatial development plans and, in majority, are equipped with the necessary technical infrastructure. An investor, by purchasing land located within the former economic zone, may apply for the decision on the support of new investment. Notwithstanding the applicable maximum public intensity in a given region, such a decision is issued for a period of 15 years. We would like to encourage you to get yourself familiarized with the detailed offer of the investment areas of Suwałki Special Economic Zone S.A
Nowadays, Suwałki Special Economic Zone S.A. performs the function of the managing entity of the area of supporting new investments with a total area of approximately 26,414 km² (264,140.00 ha)
Its reach covers the entire Podlaskie Voivodeship, two districts of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship: Ełkcki and Gołdapski, as well as four districts of the Mazovian Voivodeship: Łosicki, Ostrowski, Sokołowski and Węgrowski.
Convenient location - within the immediate vicinity of the eastern border of the European Union, the proximity of the borders of Russia, Lithuania and Belarus - is a great asset of this area and a perfect place to locate investments, having its suppliers and recipients in the eastern markets.
The potential of the Suwałki Special Economic Zone is also constituted by its location as regards the most important domestic and international routes. The main communication and transport routes intersect in here, leading from north to south and from east to west of Europe. There are plenty of transit routes located here, among which the most important ones are: Berlin–Warsaw–Grodno–Saint Petersburg, then Warsaw–Tallinn, running from Poland through Lithuania and Latvia to Estonia (the planned part of the European expressway — Via Baltica, connecting the Baltic countries with Western Europe), as well as the planned part of the European route Via Carpatia "north-south", connecting Klaipeda in Lithuania with Thessaloniki in Greece, thus constituting a transport route leading along the eastern border of the EU, from Central Europe to Asia, intersecting with the corridors leading from Western Europe to Russia and, through the Black Sea ports, connecting with the TRACECA route (Europe – the Caucasus – Asia).
Transport accessibility is also ensured by the rail network, in particular, Rail Baltica which is still being designed– a railway line being part of the trans-European transport corridor, connecting by the means of the normal rail either Warsaw, Kaunas, Riga, Tallinn and Helsinki.
The managing entity of the area of Suwałki Special Economic Zone S.A., by its activity, favours the economic growth of the region through the active creation of modern industrial centres and the support of entrepreneurship based on a new investment support instrument. (folder to be downloaded)
Entrepreneurs investing here have the opportunity to obtain the decision on the support of new investment, owing to which they may utilize state aid in the form of income tax exemption (PIT or CIT) even up to 70% of the invested capital, provided that new investment meets certain quantitative and qualitative criteria. Neither the location of investment (within the borderline of the area managed by SSSE S.A.) nor the form of ownership of real estate on which investment is to be located shall matter - either private or public - if an Investor proves a legal title to real property.
We would like to encourage all Entrepreneurs from districts assigned to the area remaining within the jurisdiction of Suwałki Special Economic Zone S.A. to contact us in order to analyse the possibility of being granted with the support in the form of state aid for new investment. CONTACT

Congressional Briefing - July 20, 2011
How Police Departments' Post-9/11 Focus on Counterterrorism and Homeland Security Has Affected Their Capacity to Fight Crime
Lois M. Davis Senior Policy Researcher, RAND Corporation
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
B-338 Rayburn House Office Building
Listen to the Audio
Immediately after 9/11, many law enforcement agencies, with the support of grants from the Department of Homeland Security, shifted resources internally in an effort to develop counterterrorism and homeland security capabilities. However, ten years out from 9/11, that shift of resources toward homeland security is posing a challenge for local police departments, which must now make tough funding choices between homeland security and crime-fighting as the economic downturn puts pressure on public budgets. What adjustments have law enforcement agencies made and how has this shift impacted their capacity to fight crime?
This briefing focuses on
adjustments made by urban law enforcement agencies to strengthen their counterterrorism and homeland security capabilities
the evolving role of fusion centers
the impact of regionalized preparedness funding on law enforcement, and
the shift from traditional crime prevention roles to counterterrorism and homeland security roles and the need for detailed analyses of costs and benefits associated with this shift.
Lois M. Davis is a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation. She led a National Institute of Justice study on the impact of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on U.S. law enforcement's counterterrorism and homeland security capabilities. Past research includes assessing immediate adjustments that law enforcement agencies made in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks to improve their counter-terrorism and preparedness capabilities; assessing the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in correctional facilities; and evaluating a comprehensive, five-year violence prevention initiative in California. Davis received her Ph.D. in public health from the University of California, Los Angeles.
The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. RAND focuses on the issues that matter most, such as health, education, national security, international affairs, law and business, the environment, and more. As a nonpartisan organization, RAND operates independent of political and commercial pressures. We serve the public interest by helping lawmakers reach informed decisions on the nation's pressing challenges. Visit us online at www.rand.org.

HomeWorld NewsEx Zimbabwe Army Commander Colonel Dyck bashes Islamic terrorists in Mozambique
Ex Zimbabwe Army Commander Colonel Dyck bashes Islamic terrorists in Mozambique
Lionel Dyck
SOUTHERN African Development Community leaders gathered for an emergency meeting this week in Maputo, Mozambique, following a recent get-together in Gaborone, Botswana, to discuss the volatile political and security situation in that country's gas-rich Cabo Delgado northern region.
The leaders agreed on Monday in Maputo to hold yet another emergency summit in January next year to discuss the conflict threatening not just Mozambique's internal peace and stability, but also the whole region's security, with Zimbabwe seriously vulnerable as most of its oil supplies come through the neighbouring country's port of Beira.
Those who attended the meeting included Presidents Felipe Nyusi of Mozambique, South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa, Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana and Zimbabwe's Emmerson Mnangagwa.
As former Rhodesian and Zimbabwean military veteran retired Colonel Lionel Dyck puts it in this article by Hannes Wessels, the stakes are very high in the conflict.
Wessels was born in 1956 in what was then Salisbury in Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), but grew up in Umtali (now Mutare) on the Mozambique border. As a young boy he met Robert Ruark on safari in Mozambique and was later captivated by his books.
He wrote this article after visiting Mozambique in recent months where he spoke to Dyck who is holding fort while Sadc leaders are gathering an intervention force to take on the well-organised and well-equipped Islamic militants fighting to establish a caliphate in the region endowed with gas abundance.
With the world convulsed by the hysteria generated by the Black Lives Matter movement, I came away from my recent meeting with Colonel Lionel Dyck mulling the prevailing madness.
Something wildly ironic about a white, former Rhodesian, then Zimbabwean army officer, talking in sombre but selfless terms about the risks that lie ahead of him in trying to quell a growing and increasingly brutal insurrection that is wreaking havoc through Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique.
Here Al Sunnah wa Jama'ah, which is an ISIS (Islamic State) offshoot, seeking to establish a caliphate in the province, is at the heart of the mayhem where blacks are killing blacks in grisly fashion with increasing abandon and it looks like he is the man with the finger of fate pointed firmly at him if this conflagration is going to be confronted, contained and defeated.
"The stakes are extremely high," says Dyck, "but the Mozambique Defence Forces are unprepared and under-resourced and we have to move fast. Some of the atrocities committed are unlike anything I have seen before and I've seen a lot of wars, in a lot of different places. The massacre that followed the attack on Quissanga Police Post involved the mutilation of bodies, severing of limbs and we believe the attackers ate some of the body-parts. Despite this barbarism, this enemy is organised, motivated and well equipped. If we don't get on top of this, it's going to spread south fast and that will be a catastrophe for the entire region."
After Independence in 1980, Dyck stayed on in the new Zimbabwean army and took command of the Zimbabwe Parachute Battalion which was a mix of former RAR (Rhodesian African Rifles), Selous Scouts and former adversaries from the Zanla and Zpra guerrilla armies.
No easy task to mould different tribes and allegiances into an effective fighting unit in the wake of a bitter war but he pulled it off and moulded the new country's most potent fighting force.
Controversially, he led these men in a hard-fought campaign against Renamo rebels in central Mozambique, which earned him the respect and trust of the Frelimo administration and it is for this reason, the Nyusi administration has turned to him for help in the current time of need.
Seven years ago, with poaching rampant in parts of southern Mozambique, his Dyck Advisory Group (DAG) was hired by the authorities to tackle the problem. Using a mix of experienced game-scouts and former special forces personnel, he accepted.
Working in many cases with tracker dogs and with air support, he and his men proved highly successful and it was on the back of this that he was approached by the Mozambique police chief in September last year and asked to assist in dealing with the burgeoning insurrection unfolding in Cabo Delgado.
"We have discovered it's a nasty mix of old, well-organised, criminal networks involved in ivory, rubies and emeralds but the big, billion-dollar business is heroin being moved through the area and distributed north and south. This has now taken on an Islamic face and it's a highly effective combination with strong external support."
Dyck is operating on a shoe-string. With one helicopter having been shot down and destroyed, he has two Gazelle gunships flying, two "Bathawk" microlights with front-guns, an old Allouette helicopter harmed with 20-millimetre canon and two fixed wing aircraft.
With a total compliment of less than 30 men, he has almost no ground-forces and his intelligence gathering capability is very limited.
"At the moment our strike capability is almost entirely airborne," he says.
"We have attacked enemy camps from the air and we are using aircraft to interdict their supplies which are being moved on land and sea. I believe we have been successful in slowing their advance but this war is far from won.
"We have to start a selection and training programme immediately so we can get good men into the field and take the fight back to the enemy from the air and on the ground. We also intend to move our base of operations closer to Mocimboa da Praia which was attacked recently by the rebels."
Muddying the waters is dissension within the Sadc region with different members holding different opinions and having different agendas.
Tanzania, with a large Muslim population, it appears, is at best neutral but the central government appears to be doing nothing to stop the flow of insurgents into Mozambique from bases in the south of the country.
Hope for support from Zimbabwe has not been forthcoming and South Africa appears to prefer to remain above the fray. Zimbabwe, given its dire economic situation, may not have the resources to intervene and South Africa appears to have taken note of a warning from Al Sunnah, that they intervene at the risk of a backlash that may well come from dormant, but potentially dangerous Islamic groups inside the country.
Further afield, the Americans appear to be watching from the sidelines. Undoubtedly they have the capacity to intervene, but it appears the Nyusi administration is wary of soliciting their help. This may be because they are unsure of what the quid pro quo will be but it may also have something to do with the conflict of interest US troops in Africa face.
Most of the Islamic insurrections in west and central Africa appear to be Saudi financed and supported. Saudi Arabia remains an American and Israeli ally in containing Iran and in dealing with other Middle-East hotspots and this seems to have compromised their goals in containing the Islamic contagion.
Dyck has been approached by influential figures in the British "establishment" offering assistance but he is wary. "I just don't trust them; they never tell you the whole story and there is always another agenda in play with them. I feel we must go it alone at this stage with the little we have and turn this around. It's going to be hard but we have to win this."
At this point it looks like a semi-retired 76-year-old veteran of many wars, in the twilight of his years, stands pretty much alone in the ongoing struggle to stem the spread of Islamic fundamentalism and to stop the slaughter of blacks by blacks on the killing fields of Africa.
And because the "good guy" has a white face and there are no white American cops involved, the media appears to have little interest. Source – africaunauthorised.com ■

Are you going to any holiday parties this season? If so, you may want to check out these uber cute items I have found for your shopping pleasure. There are lots of cute things out right now, and it's so fun to imagine myself going to a fancy cocktail party at a 5 star restaurant on the top floor of a luxury hotel with an amazing view and an open bar. I have to imagine because this is not actually happening. A girl can dream though! There's still time to plan something fun for NYE, so maybe I'll set my sights on that. I do get to go to a holiday party for Adam's work, and I'm looking forward to that. Parent's night out! Love you kiddos, but every now and then it's nice to have conversations about something other then tractors and legos. It's a little more on the casual side, but I still like to get semi-gussied up just because I can. And, because I don't get to dress up that often anymore!
I love, love, love this dress! It would be flattering on so many body types. And, the color! Love!
These sequin panel jogger pants are so cute! The sequins bring a fancy vibe but they are still casual at the same time!
I posted this scarf on Instagram last week, when I wore it out for a girls night. It instantly spiced up my very plain little black dress and made my outfit so much more festive.
This floral dress from Modcloth is adorable and comes in plus sizes!
I am really liking these strappy heels, and I love the cranberry color! They would really add interest to a plain dress or pants outfit.
How fun is this tulle skirt! If you are a ballerina or princess at heart, this would be right up your alley! I have a similar cream one that I wore for maternity pictures and I love how they turned out. The tulle looks so soft and flow-y, and it's just plain fun to wear! And, this one comes in every color of the rainbow, and then some.
I got this red Max Studio top to wear to Adam's company party. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to pair it with...black jeans and booties maybe? A simple choker? Thoughts? I just loved the lace neckline and the color just says "holiday".
How cute are these shoes? Bright and sparkly and would definitely make your casual office party outfit so much more fun! They come in black too.
This sequin t-shirt dress looks super comfy! To be comfortable in a fancy dress? Is there such a thing? Looks like this just might be the dress to make that wish come true.
This lace trim shift dress from Old Navy is cute and also looks very comfy.
These gold heels are very fun, timeless, and cheap!
And, if you need a flat, these gold pointed toe flats would be the answer to your prayers as you are breaking it down on the dance floor.
This dress is so festive, but could still be worn to work or other events throughout the year.
These pants are SO fun! I love that they come in lots of different colors too. And, they are LEGGINGS! I just realized I have a lot of gold items in my lineup. I am definitely liking gold these days, but some of these items come in different colors, so check the links if you are interested in something but aren't quite as obsessed with gold as I seem to be!
Well...I hope that gives you some inspiration for your holiday and NYE outfit planning!
Party on Wayne...Party on Garth!

The security clearance process is a long, complex process that involves an extensive investigation into an individual's background and character. Not all people will pass their initial clearance check. Some clearance applicants will be flat out denied security clearance, while others may have their qualifications come under scrutiny for past indiscretions, drug involvement, abuse of status, security breaches or other reasons.
If you have cause to believe your new security clearance will be denied, or that your existing clearance will be revoked, the first thing you need to do is contact our firm and meet with a security clearance attorney right away. Our firm will thoroughly review your situation and help you file an immediate request for reconsideration. We will then work with you closely to prepare the documentation needed to challenge, dispute or provide additional information to defend your eligibility.
Another resource which can be used to disclose specific details pertaining to your denial is the Freedom of Information Act. You have the right, under the Freedom of Information Act, to request your security clearance investigation file. By acquiring your file, we can be afforded a more in-depth insight into why your clearance was denied or revoked. Using that information, we could then provide an extremely tailored strategy to help you present your case, defend your rights and ultimately obtain your security clearance.
Based in Virginia, McCormack & McCormack represents members of the military, federal contractors, those requiring specific Department of Defense or federal agency security clearances, and those in need of a Personnel Security Clearances. We have extensive experience helping individuals successfully navigate through the clearance process and we provide aggressive representation for those whose clearances have either been denied or revoked. To get help resolving your security clearance issues, contact our firm at once.

Bob Brown successfully campaigned for a large increase in the protected wilderness areas of Tasmania. He led the Australian Greens from the party's foundation in 1992 until April 2012. He has set up the Bob Brown Foundation with his longtime partner Paul Thomas to promote environmental awareness.
I first got to know you in 1977, on page 365 of Bertrand Russell's 789 page tome, 'A History of Western Civilization'. You rated one paragraph.
There are very few women in that three thousand years of history, drawn from the annals of men. But there you were, the world's greatest mind on mathematics, astronomy and philosophy in 400 AD.

CEO, PHEMI Systems
As CEO of PHEMI Systems, a big data warehouse company, Paul combines his visionary approach to technology and 10 years of experience in healthcare to enable enterprises across industries to capitalize on their data and become data-driven innovators.
Paul is also an adjunct professor in big data at Simon Fraser University, where he lectures on technology, strategy, and product management for the MBA program at SFU. He is a sought-after speaker on data innovation and strategy.
Additionally, Paul serves on the Board of Directors for Providence Health Care, a Canadian healthcare organization with over 9,000 workers across 16 sites, advising on its subcommittees for innovation, quality, EMR, and next-generation data strategies in healthcare. Paul serves on the Boards of Directors for Genome BC, Life Sciences BC, and Molecular You, and is an advisor to the BC provincial government on next-generation data strategies. He is a member of the BC Institute for Health Innovation and serves on Genome BC's Health Strategy Task Force.
Prior to his experience in healthcare and venture capital, Paul was the CTO and cofounder of OctigaBay Systems – a pioneer in high-performance computing – which was acquired by Cray Inc., the world leader in supercomputing. He was also the cofounder and CTO of Abatis Systems, which was acquired by Redback Networks in one of the largest technology acquisitions in Canadian history.


This appointment encourages violations since this individual is the former leader of the anti-immigration and hate group known as Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). With this appointment, the ongoing and increase of federal enforcement practices which include racial profiling, killings, detainment and denial of proper representation of principally Hispanic workers are expected to increase dramatically.
Other less known groups which advocate for minorities, migrants, and immigrants include National Immigration Forum, the Border Angels and The National Immigration Law Center. Add to this ever growing list the now highly active and motivated Frontera Fund, founded by Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin.
The Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin Frontera Fund was launched in 2013 after the pair of respected journalists were illegally detained by Maricopa County sheriff's department and held for 24 hours on trumped up charges because they did a cover story highlighting the gross abuse of the Constitution that was being carried by the infamous Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
They later sued and won a settlement of 37 million US dollars which has been earmarked to be used for the legal defense of those who brave the peril of crossing the southern border of the US to seek economic opportunity.
The Frontera Fund is intended to principally benefit the Hispanic Community which has been subjected to the most civil rights abuses and racial disparity in the state of Arizona.The community that this fund and Michale Lacey and Jim Larkin seek to defend are the source of much of our produce that is consumed throughout the United States and deserve protection and representation to preserve their dignity and fair treatment.
If you were to run a line through Arthur Becker's work history you would find that it has always been elevating. According to The Real Deal, Arthur Becker is becoming a household name within New York City as well as the rest of the world for his ability to get in and invest in properties and technologies that are rapidly gaining steam. Becker first jumped into the investment industry as the CEO of the tech company Zinio back in 2003. Over the past nearly ten years Becker has expanded his horizons and begun to take in more and more duties. Let's see what Arthur Becker is up to now.
In 2011 Arthur Becker established Madison Partners, LLC. Madison Partners is a real estate and bio tech firm that focuses on enterprising new technology, particularly in the field of cancer research, as well as unique real estate investments. Becker's work with these two industries has come together by way of his immense passion for both fields. Becker doesn't have medical background but he knows the importance of cancer research and he is comfortable putting in the time to research the potential investments he is facing. In a report by Curbed, as far as real estate goes, Becker is comfortable with renovating due to his relationship with fashion guru Vera Wang.
No matter what industry you settle on, Becker knows that you have to take your approach very carefully. Becker says, "Use your previous experience and go with it." Becker's obviously a lucky individual in that he has a wealth of experience to go off of, thanks to his multiple decade long careers in investments. However, if you don't have a work history to base your future confidence on then you can instead focus on being as prepared as possible. Becker says, "I don't think there was really any time that I necessarily doubted myself as a businessman." Becker goes on to say, succinct and to the point, "It's easy to doubt yourself if you don't know what you are doing." This is the key to success as an entrepreneur and it really goes to show that there are no shortcuts. If you want to succeed, then prepare.

HG1G2 tools
Created by Antti Penttilä, last modified on 2019-12-11
This page includes documentation and tools for H,G1,G2 and H,G12 photometric systems. These systems are empirical functions that are used to fit the observations (visual magnitudes) of asteroids as a function of the phase angle. The main purpose for these systems, together with the previous H,G system, is to predict the magnitude H of an asteroid at the exact backscattering direction as the phase angle is 0. This so-called absolute magnitude H is related to the size and albedo of an asteroid, and one of these three can be computed if the other two are known.
The H,G1,G2 system was chosen to replace the old H,G system as the tool recommended by the IAU at its general assembly in Beijing, August 2012. The system is described in Muinonen et al. (2010). For smooth adaptation of this system, we have implemented tools that can be used to fit observations with the H,G1,G2 and H,G12 functions. We are distributing so-called reference implementations of the system on different languages/platforms. The main idea is that they should all implement the same functionality, despite the programming language or computing platform.
Reference implementations
Fortran 2003 version (HG1G2tools module and Example fit, or zip file for codes, readme and example data.) (version at 2013-08-29)
Mathematica version (HG1G2tools package and Example fit) (version at 2013-08-29)
Python version (HG1G2tools package) (version at 2016-04-20)
Example data from (44) Nysa
Original Fortran 77 version
Online implementation of the H,G1,G2 system in flux space (2015) with automatic model selection
H,G1,G2 and H,G12 photometric systems are implemented in the Python-package sbpy, a n Astropy affiliated package for asteroid and comet researchers.
You are more than welcome to contribute. If you are interested in creating a reference implementation using some language or platform that is currently lacking an implementation, please read guide for developers and send your source code here for distribution. All other tools that are somehow related to H,G1,G2 system are also welcomed!
You can contact Antti.I.Penttila( a t )helsinki.fi for more information.

Five Fiery Minutes seals third for Italy
Undoubtedly the worst game in sports tournaments is the third-place playoff. Less than 24 hours after tasting defeat in the semi-finals, Italy and Supergroup South Africa had to take to the field to decide the destination of the bronze medal at the FIH Hockey Series Final in Valencia. With the South Africans having played the later and more mentally exhausting semi-final there was always going to...
Supergroup South Africa fall just short against Spain
Little under a year ago the South African women's hockey side took on Spain at the FIH Hockey World Cup and tasted a very one-sided defeat. Spain went on to finish third at the World Cup. Throw in the fact that the Spanish side were the hosts of the FIH Hockey Series Final, as well as the program the national team are involved in, and the challenge that awaited the South Africans was nothing...
Experienced Players lead from the front in rout for SuperGroup South Africa
The Supergroup South African ladies side gave themselves the front foot in securing top spot in Pool B at the FIH Hockey Series Final with a dominant 7-0 win against Thailand on Saturday morning. With Wales starting the day tie on points with the South Africans, they would have to wait on the result of the later game to know their fate but went about doing everything they could to put all the...
Supergroup South Africa make it count against Italy
After their opening stalemate the South Africans were looking to produce a display that laid down a marker in the FIH Hockey Series Final in Valencia. To do that they would play Italy, a team that finished ahead of them at the 2018 FIH Hockey World Cup. Celia Evans was celebrating her 150th cap for the country. This would serve as a powerful motivator for the Supergroup South African side as a...
Supergroup South Africa open Spanish Series Final with draw
The South African women started their FIH Hockey Series Final with a stutter as they drew 2-2 with Wales in their opening pool game. The South Africans, featuring four new caps, started the game somewhat apprehensively, while the Welsh, who can't qualify for the Olympics due to England being selected as Great Britain's qualifying applicant, started a little more positively. The first quarter...
Supergroup South Africa set for Spanish Exam
No sooner had the dust settled on the FIH Hockey Series Finals in India than South African hockey eyes switched to Spain for the Valencia based Hockey Series Final. The tournament is a Road to Tokyo Olympic Qualifying event, where the top 2 teams progress to the Olympic Qualifying Matches later this year. For South Africa's Hockey Women, there is the added incentive that SASCOC will be using...
Final Defeat for South Africa but goals achieved
Heading to Bhubaneswar for the FIH Hockey Series Finals in India, South African hockey fans would have been hopeful but not overly optimistic of a top 2 finish. The men were at the start of a new coaching process and had very little time together heading to India. That they started the tournament with two disheartening defeats properly added to the lack of optimism. But on the edge of elimination...
South Africa superb in comeback win to secure final place
South Africa had overcome a slow start to find themselves in the FIH Hockey Series Finals final four. On a sweltering hot Bhubaneswar, the African champions took on the team that defeated them in the opening game USA.

The Mother of All Bradfords at Phillips in London + Another at Christie's
February 9, 2018 by Marion Maneker
Melanie Gerlis's column in the Financial Times has the announcement that Mark Bradford's massive Helter Skelter I from 2007 will come to market in London next month:
The auction house has won a massive consignment from tennis legend John McEnroe in the form of Mark Bradford's "Helter Skelter I" (2007), to be offered in London on March 8 (est £6m-£8m, third-party guaranteed). The price could more than double the Los Angeles artist's record, though a work of this size (10 metres wide) has never come to auction before.
McEnroe worked with Josh Baer to buy the work four years ago just before the Bradford market saw substantial upward price movement. In 2014, Bradford's top price was $2.6m. A year later, four works had traded publicly at higher prices all the way up to $5.8m which stands at the record price for the artist.
Since that time, Bradford's stature and visibility has only risen. Bradford represented the US at the Venice Biennale recently and the showing at the Hirshhorn in Washington, DC of the massive Pickett's Charge.
Over at Christie's, there will be a cheaper work, Bear Running from the Shotgun from 2014 which was last seen at Art Basel in Miami Beach in December of the same year. It's estimated at £2.2-2.8m.

Court Description:
The circuit court is the trial court of general jurisdiction in Virginia, and the court has authority to try a full range of both civil and criminal cases. Civil cases involve disputes essentially private in nature between two or more parties; criminal cases are controversies between the Commonwealth and persons accused of a crime. Only in a circuit court is a jury provided for the trail of many of these disputes and controversies.
In civil cases, the circuit court has concurrent jurisdiction with the general district court over claims from $4,500 to $25,000 and exclusive orginial jurisdiction over almost all claims exceeding $25,000. The circuit court also has jurisdiction over divorce cases, disputes concerning wills and estates, and controversies involving real property. In criminal cases, the circuit court has jurisdiction over the trial of all felonies (offenses that may be punished by commitment to the penitentiary) and most of those misdemeanors (offenses carrying a penalty of not more than twelve months in jail) on appeal form district court or originally charged in circuit court. The circuit court also has jurisdiction over juveniles age 14 and older who are charged with felonies and whose cases have been certified or transferred by the judge of a juvenile and domestic relations court for trial in circuit court.
The circuit court has appellate jurisdiction over all appeals from the general district court and the juvenile and domestic relations district court. Appeals from these district courts are heard de novo; that is, the cases are tried from the beginning as though there had been no prior trial. The circuit court's appellate jurisdiction also extends to appeals from certain administrative agencies.

A circuit court judge is elected for an eight-year term by a majority vote of both houses of the General Assembly. If the General Assembly is not in session when a vacancy occurs, the Governor temporarily appoints a judge (interim appointment) to serve until the General Assembly meets again and can elect a judge for a full term. The chief judge of the circuit is elected by majority vote of the judges serving the circuit. Circuit court judges are required to reside in the circuit they serve and must have been admitted to the Virginia Bar at least five years prior to election or appointment.

The 49ers re-sign veteran Osgood
Veteran Kassim Osgood lost his job during the weekend, but he had no problems with this at all. Local bookies know that the wide receiver has been in the game for a while already, and he probably has a pretty good idea about what business is like in the NFL.
On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers signed Osgood when the team released running back LaMichael James.
On Saturday, Osgood was released by the 49ers so tackle Alex Boone could get a spot in the team, as after a lengthy holdout, his contract was changed.
"The NFL has strict guidelines and you have to work within the rules to keep continuity," said the player.
"It's for the team and when you can get veterans to come back, it's good for the team."
Other teams gave the player's agent a few offers, but the player didn't even want to see what was being offered.
"I was stuck on coming back here," he said. "My agent told me to focus on what I needed to do to go back to the 49ers. I always keep the line of communication."
The player was not able to start in a game in three years, and he will enter the 49ers' clash against the Bears on Sunday with 45 receptions made in his career – one of them was made last year with the 49ers. The player still believes that he's been blessed.
"I went undrafted, so every year is a bonus," he said. "I'm still around and I'm still having fun."
Coach Jim Harbaugh was impressed by Osgood's special teams play, something that the coach always thought was very important since he was coaching at college.
"It's always fun to go out there and compete against anybody," he said. "It's fun to show off my skills."
Osgood had no choice but to watch the team on TV take out the Cowboys, but he felt like he was a part of the 49ers.
"There is a ton talent on this team," the player said. "I was happy to see them go out and execute."
The team only have the services of Carlos Hyde and Frank Gore as the listed running backs, which could mean that the 49ers could make another move later on.
Local bookies saw that on Sunday, their secondary also took a blow in the first quarter when cornerback Chris Culliver had to leave the game due to a concussion. Tramaine Brock – another cornerback – also pulled out after an injury to the toe.
"Unfortunately, we lost both our starting cornerbacks," Eric Reid said. "We just knew we had to make sure we were all on the same page. If I read pass, I dropped back to find where help was needed."
Dontae Johnson and Antoine Bethea helped make up for the losses.
"I was nervous in my first game and I knew Dontae would be nervous," he said. "I just told him to play and let his talent take over. That's why he made the team. He did a good job."
Brock could not play on Sunday, and Culliver wasn't cleared to participate in practice.

The Russian civil aviation industry has taken a step towards a real revival
Refusal of Boeing and Airbus from selling new liners of their production to Russia and from servicing those already purchased by domestic airlines, as well as a ban on the supply of components, necessary for the assembly of the "constructors" of the short-range "Superjet-100" and the medium-range MS-21 became a very painful blow for our country, whose sky has long been densely occupied by the products of Western corporations. Luckily, the still remaining Soviet backlog in the civil aircraft industry gives hope for the revival of the industry. A few days ago, Aeroflot and the United Aircraft Corporation (OAK) signed a framework agreement for the acquisition of up to 2030 of the year 339 aircraft of domestic production. The head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov commented on this momentous event as follows:To replace Boeing and Airbus aircraft, which are unlikely to ever be delivered to Russia, passenger liners of domestic production will come. Of 339 almost 300 - these are the machines of new generations MS-21 and Superjet. The Tu-214 will become a reliable support for them - this aircraft was previously produced for special customers and has proven itself well. all in all,, as President Putin promised the other day, Russian airlines will receive up to 500 Russian-made airliners. That is, the rest of the air carriers will purchase more than one and a half hundred new domestic aircraft. To master their operation will be retrained 3,5 thousands of pilots. However, the total number of airliners, which our country must receive before 2030 of the year, even more. It is 1036 aircraft, including not only short-haul "Superjets" and medium-haul Tu-214 and MS-21, but also IL-96, IL-114, TVRS-44 "Ladoga", L-410 and Baikal. The cost of the air transport industry development program for the specified period is estimated at 770 billion rubles. Since Aeroflot is the flagship in the domestic air transportation market and renews its fleet every 10-15 years, the agreement he concluded with the UAC testifies to the principled decision to transfer to Russian aircraft. In view of the current international situation, it seems exceptionally correct. Modern developments and modernized versions of Soviet airliners will allow Russia to independently cover all its needs for civil aircraft in all segments.
Long haul liners
Until recently, the joint Russian-Chinese wide-body passenger airliner CR929 was considered our "great white hope". However, this project has not gone well lately.. Exactly what happened, what we predicted a long time ago. Getting the technology they need, Chinese partners began to insist on separate sales of CR929, made in China and Russia. This aircraft no longer appears in the aircraft industry development program., that is very significant. Now, in fact, Russia is left with only its own long-haul airliner Il-96. And it's not so bad. Large Soviet-designed aircraft, reliable and roomy. Its version under the symbol Il-96-300PU ("control point") personally used by President Putin and Russian Defense Minister Shoigu. When last spring the question arose of resuming the production of Il-96-300, officials from the industry wanted to get off with a modest two planes a year, obviously for show. Now the Il-96-400M version is being actively tested., having an elongated 9 meters fuselage, upgraded digital flight and navigation system, maximum flight range over 8 thousand kilometers and the maximum number of passenger seats - 370. TASS's own source in the aviation industry commented on the prospects for a modernized Soviet aircraft as follows::First aircraft completed, will be used as a flying laboratory to test technical solutions for wide-body long-haul aircraft. It is working on modernized systems, including a promising domestic complex of flight and navigation equipment. The engine is also Russian - PS-90A. By the end of the year it is planned to take to the air. Based on the results of certification tests, a decision will be made on serial production.
Medium haul liners
Here we have two options to choose from.. The first is a promising medium-haul narrow-body airliner MS-21, which Aeroflot ordered 210 pcs. The main problem of this aircraft was a fairly high level of foreign components, which reached 50%. This allowed the "Western partners" to delay its launch into mass production as much as possible., banning the supply of composite materials for its "black wings", as well as on-board electronics. Luckily, Initially, the MS-21 was designed not only for the American, but also under the domestic engine PD-14. We managed to solve the problem with composites on our own, now there is an import substitution of other components. While this process is going on, the revived Tu-214 will act as a "understudy" of the MS-21, which Aeroflot is ready to purchase up to 40 pcs. This is a direct competitor of MS-21, once undeservedly forgotten. But now, as we see, even "Soviet galoshes" came in handy.
Short haul liners
According to the long-suffering "Superjet-100", three-quarters imported components, at one time only the lazy did not trample. This project was the embodiment of liberal ideas about broad international cooperation, which proved its complete failure under Western sanctions. Short haul SSJ-NEW ("New Superjet") is a liner, the level of localization of production of which is declared in 97%. hopefully, that this ambitious task of import substitution will be fully implemented on time. Aeroflot ordered SSJ-NEW in the amount 89 pcs. A peculiar addition to it will be the Il-114-300 turboprop short-haul passenger aircraft, built from Russian components and capable of carrying up to 64 passengers.
Regional liners
These include TVRS-44 "Ladoga" (turboprop regional aircraft 44 passenger), Let L-410 Turbolet (light multi-purpose twin-engine aircraft for local airlines on 15-19 passengers) and LMS-901 "Baikal" (Russian light multi-purpose turboprop single-engine aircraft 9 passengers).Overall, we are moving in the right direction., which is to be welcomed.

Storing Your Apple Card in a Leather Wallet Is a Bad Idea
Apple warns that fabrics including leather and denim could result in the Apple Card being permanently discolored.
Matthew Humphries
I've been working at PCMag since November 2016, covering all areas of technology and video game news. Before that I spent nearly 15 years working at Geek.com as a writer and editor. I also spent the first six years after leaving university as a professional game designer working with Disney, Games Workshop, 20th Century Fox, and Vivendi.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/storing-your-apple-card-in-a-leather-wallet-is-a-bad-idea
Now that the Apple Card is available, Apple added a page(Opens in a new window) to its support website explaining how to keep it clean. But the page also reveals something surprising: keeping your card in a leather wallet or jeans pocket is a really bad idea.
The Apple Card has a white finish with the credit card holder's name and the Apple logo laser-etched into it. The white color is achieved "through a multi-layer coating process that's added to the titanium base material." I doubt many people until now have thought about how to keep their cards clean, but as with most things from Apple, it's a designer object as much as a functional one and needs to be looked after.
Keeping the Apple Card clean is pretty simple. Wipe it with a lint-free microfiber cloth; for a more thorough clean, moisten that cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Maintaining the white color of the card is more difficult, though, because of how it reacts to different materials.
Leather wallets are quite common, as are the wearing of jeans. However, Apple warns that putting your Apple Card in contact with leather or denim "might cause permanent discoloration that will not wash off." So if you want to keep your new Apple Card looking new, it's time to trade in that leather wallet or purse and stop sliding it into your jeans pocket. Doing either is probably going to damage it.
I'm going to say it if no one else will, but launching a credit card that you can't keep in a leather wallet or jeans pocket is ridiculous. Apple made the card look a certain way, but clearly never took the time to consider the materials with which it would most commonly come into contact. Leather in particular was always going to be high on that list.
Apple's advice for storing the card is to use a wallet, pocket, or bag "made of soft materials." Don't store it alongside other cards, keys, or loose change to avoid scratching, and magnets should be avoided. Those are all common sense, but Apple should really be making it very clear you can't use a leather wallet. Instead, we're now likely to get an influx of "Apple Card Compatible" wallets coming to market.

The astonishing sequel to Children of Time, the award-winning novel of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.
Thousands of years ago, Earth's terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life - but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity's great empire fell, and the program's decisions were lost to time.
And it's been waiting for them.

Is the United States at war with Iran? If David Sanger's account in his new book, "Confront and Conceal," on President Obama's foreign policy, is to be believed — and I find it very believable — we certainly are.
The heart of this book is the chapter titled "Olympic Games," which Mr. Sanger writes is the code name for a joint program of Israel and the United States to insert malicious software into the machinery of the Iranian military-industrial complex and so set back Iran's ability to manufacture weapons-grade uranium. Specifically, in 2008 and 2009 the software threw off the balance of centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear enrichment center. It did so in a variety of unpredictable ways, making it at first seem like the problems were random or the result of Iranian incompetence. The key to getting inside the computers — which were not connected to the Internet — was to load the virus into thumb drives that Iranian nuclear technicians, perhaps unknowingly, would bring to work and plug into the computer systems there.
In one of the most impressive steps in the cybercampaign, the inserted software recorded the operation of the centrifuges. Then, as the computer worm took control of the machines and began destroying them, the software played back the signals of the normal operation of the centrifuges. "The plant operators were clueless," Mr. Sanger writes. "There were no warning lights, no alarm bells, no dials gyrating wildly. But anyone down in the plant would have felt, and heard, that the centrifuges were suddenly going haywire. First came a rumble, then an explosion." This is an account that long will be consulted by anyone trying to understand not just Iran but warfare in the 21st century. It alone is worth the price of the book.
And that is a good thing, because the rest of the book — overviews of Mr. Obama's handling of Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Arab Spring, and China and North Korea — offers a solid but rather dutiful summary of this administration's foreign policy. As I read it, I wondered if the author — in the course of working on a book to be titled something like "The Education of a President" — had come across the extraordinary material on the cyberwar against Iran.
Those other spinach-laden sections are not bad, but they are not as compelling as Mr. Sanger's guided tour of the anti-Iranian operations. He offers a healthy meditation on Mr. Obama's heavy use of drone strikes in Pakistan, asking how such strikes differ from a program of targeted assassination, if at all. And throughout, Mr. Sanger clearly has enjoyed great access to senior White House officials, most notably to Thomas Donilon, the national security adviser.
Mr. Donilon, in effect, is the hero of the book, as well as the commenter of record on events. He leads the team that goes to Israel and spends "five hours wading through the intelligence in the basement of the prime minister's residence." He is shown studying the nettlesome problems of foreign relations, working closely with the president, and fending off the villains of this story — which in Mr. Sanger's account tend to be the government of Pakistan and, surprisingly, the generals of the American military. "We fought the Pentagon every step of the way on this," a "senior American diplomat" tells Mr. Sanger. At another point, a "senior White House official" reports that, "There was incredible resistance inside the Pentagon." And so on.
The virtue of this book — its foundation of White House sources who give the author insiders' material like a transcript of Mr. Obama's last telephone call with the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak — is also its weakness. That is, Mr. Sanger shows us the world through the eyes of Mr. Obama, Mr. Donilon and those around him. But he also tends to depict Washington and the world as they see it. The perceptions of White House officials, especially in the first year of the Obama presidency, which saw a steep learning curve for the president and those around him, are not always dispositive.
When, for example, the White House moved closer to the Pentagon's hawkish view of North Korea, "We had people in the Pentagon telling us, 'We told you so,' " a senior administration official informs Mr. Sanger. That official adds, rather snidely, that "perhaps they were making a case for not cutting the budget" of the Pentagon.
Mr. Sanger's sure touch in discussing foreign policy falters when he addresses the Pentagon. He incorrectly states that "battlespace" is a term of cyberwar, when it actually is United States military jargon for any sort of battlefield, conventional or not. More important, Mr. Sanger seems unaware that a large number of military officers agreed with President Obama that Iraq was a "war of choice," and a huge mistake.
Nor by the time Mr. Obama took office was "much of the military ... running on autopilot." Rather, after five years of sweating and bleeding in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military was engaged in a good deal of soul-searching about those wars. The "surge" in Iraq was largely the product of military dissidents who believed that invading Iraq had been a mistake.
These are minor blemishes in an important book. I raise them mainly because of the warning signal they send about civil-military relations under President Obama. White House mistrust and suspicion of generals is not a recipe for an effective use of military force because it impedes the candid sort of discussion that consciously brings to the surface differences, examines assumptions and hammers out sustainable strategies.
Rather, it suggests that Mr. Obama and those around him are repeating some of the dysfunctionality that characterized the dealings of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson with the Pentagon during the descent into the Vietnam War. With Syria hanging fire, a nuclear-armed Pakistan on the brink and the Afghan war dragging on, that is not a reassuring state of affairs.
