Oakland Councilman's $10.20 Minimum Wage Ordinance Held in Committee
By Steven Tavares.
An Oakland City Council ordinance that would enact a citywide minimum wage of $10.20 was held in committee Tuesday while staff continues to study the issue. Meanwhile, a potential local initiative for the November ballot to raise the minimum wage to $12.25 per hour continues to gain steam. The proposed ordinance was introduced by Councilmember Larry Reid, who chairs the Community and Economic Development Committee. Reid's colleagues on the committee all issued support for proposal as a good first step, while hinting at a preference for a higher wage.
"His goal is to have a minimum wage with little or no drastic impacts on small businesses owners," Reid's chief of staff Ray Leon, told the committee. The plan would also adjust the minimum wage based on inflation, said Leon, including exemptions for youth job training programs and for small businesses based upon the number of employees and how much revenue they generate.
Al Auletta, program manager for Oakland Economic and Workforce Development staff, said since the San Francisco Bay Area has a higher cost of living, any minimum wage ordinance should be based on a local consumer price index. Auletta added, a wage bump would increase discretionary spending in Oakland and increase worker productivity, loyalty to their jobs and better service for consumers. It is not clear how any minimum wage increase, be it, $10.20 per hour, $12.25 or $15 urged by some, will affect commerce. According to a city staff report, among small businesses in Oakland, restaurants could be more impacted than others. However, Auletta said any rises in restaurant prices are marginal and historically absorbed by customers.
Michael LeBlanc, owner of Pican restaurant, said he is in favor of raising the minimum wage and, specifically, Reid's proposal. Oakland's thriving downtown restaurant scene has positively changed the outside perception of the city, he said. "The reality is if the minimum wage were $15, I could no longer operate in Oakland."
"I think a lot of it is how fast it goes up and if it allows businesses to accommodate it," said City Council President Pat Kernighan. She also believes some restaurants in Oakland could handle the higher $12.25 figure, but called raising the minimum wage a regional issue and worried some businesses might be forced to move to neighboring cities. "If Oakland gets out ahead of its neighboring East Bay cities it would be bad for our city," she said.
Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates has recently urged for a regional approach to raising the minimum wage and publicly predicted Oakland's $12.25 ballot measure will be passed by voter this fall. Reid suggested Tuesday afternoon, the city collaborate with Bates on the issue. Councilmembers Libby Schaaf and Lynette Gibson McElhaney both said they could support Reid's $10.20 plan for now, although both urged for more analysis, in addition, to voicing interest in the potential $12.25 ballot initiative. Oakland does not currently have a city minimum wage. The state minimum wage, however, is set to raise to $9 per hour this July before increasing to $10 in 2016. At the federal level, President Obama is seeking to raise the minimum wage to $10.10.
Many progressives, however, believe the minimum wage should be even higher. Oakland mayoral candidate and civil rights attorney Dan Siegel called for the committee to amend Reid's proposed ordinance to $15 per hour. Siegel cited a city study that found a family of four in Oakland needs to earn a gross income of $86,000-a-year to stave off poverty. Such a figure, he said, would call for two members of the household to earn a minimum of $20 per hour. "We need to have a wage policy in Oakland that will allow our workers to get away from a life of poverty," said Siegel.
In response to Reid's $10.20 per hour proposal, Oakland resident David Colburn added, $12.25 is already a compromise to $15 per hour. "Then to undercut that for $10.20 is, I think, sort of grotesque," said Colburn. "I hope this doesn't go anywhere, because it shouldn't."

The new year is getting off to a fast start here at Voices for Children, as we prepare for the release of the 2014 Kids Count in Nebraska Report.
This report will provide all the things you have come to expect – and more! We will once again provide a visually-oriented look at child well-being data in each of our issues areas, including Health, Education, Child Welfare, Juvenile Justice and Economic Stability. Through graphs, charts, and other visual representations, we will showcase more than 200 indicators of how children in our state are doing.
We are excited about a number of additions to this year's Kids Count in Nebraska Report, including a thorough update of the education and county data pages and the addition of population data to give an overview of what the state looks like. These changes help us tell the whole story of the well-being of Nebraska's children.
We are also extremely excited about this year's commentary topic: "Supporting Working Families." In this special commentary, we explore how Nebraskans are working hard, but still struggling financially. We examine the factors that contribute to this disconnect, including low-wage jobs, limited growth in household income, the rising cost of goods and services, being unable to work desired hours or lacking adequate benefits. In general, Nebraska is a great place to raise a family and be a child, but how do we ensure a better future for those struggling to make ends meet? This commentary will explore the landscape for working families and offer recommendations for moving forward.
To be the first to get the full Kids Count in Nebraska Report, be sure to attend one of our release events in Omaha and Lincoln January 29th and 30th.
We are also working on a "Kids Count Road Show" for greater Nebraska this spring. If you would like us to make a stop in your community, please comment below or send us an email at kidscount@voicesforchildren.com.
With the release of the Kids Count in Nebraska Report, coupled with the previously released Pro-Kid Policy Plan for Nebraska, Voices for Children is all set for a productive 2015, moving forward to ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive.

After the 4th chemo infusion, Dr. Happy at the University hospital told me that on the basis of the blood work, I had no more cancer. Just do 2 more chemos for assurance and I would be done. So I decided to transfer back to the local doctor, Dr. Doom and Gloom, for the last 2 chemo-poisons.
In June, 2008, after I completed a total of 6 rounds of chemo, I had a CT scan, which was "suspicious" when compared to the one I had in March, when they found the abscess. So I had a PET scan, which according to Dr. Doom and Gloom, showed a "peppering" of activity in the peritoneal cavity. He did not use the word tumors, but I knew that's what he was talking about. He told me I could do heavy chemo for a month, light chemo every month for a year, or do nothing for 3 months. He said that I could expect to be on chemo the rest of my life, and then I would die. He recommended the heavy chemo; I chose to do nothing.
I was so devastated, but in the devastation was a gift. I was bound and determined not be held hostage by the medical community.
Joanne is treated for tumors in the peritoneal cavity.
In my search for answers, I went back to the GNM website for the first time since all of this started and read that tumors in the peritoneal cavity are the result of being attacked in the abdomen. Immediately, I knew I was reading Truth with a capital T, and everything I had been through with the doctors had been nothing but the work of "sorcerers' apprentices", to use Dr. Hamer's term.
I had no tumors before they surgically inserted the wound pump. I had them AFTER the doctor had inserted the pump. This is when I suffered the painful "attack" against my abdomen". It still makes me cry when I realize that the tumor was Nature's loving way of protecting me from more attacks!
I decided the best way for me to stay out of conflict was to stay out of doctor's offices. Whatever was going on in my abdomen would heal on its own as long as I didn't experience any more "attacks" against my belly.
I also decided that from now on my treatment decisions were going to be MY decisions. No longer was I going make decisions based on protecting my husband.

In the past few weeks I've been negotiating a number of concurrent deals at the same time for Colony. One particular deal today was due to be signed today but I decided not to do it at the 11th hour. I shouldn't go into the details of the deal so let me just say that it was like we were going to buy something.
This was something I really wanted for Colony. I think "buying" this would have been a huge win for the company and we would have grown to be an even more profitable company in the medium to long run.
The seller though knew they were in demand. They told us shortly after we showed interest that there was someone else willing to buy them for about 10% more than what we were willing to pay. Still they decided to go with us because we came first and they could settle the deal quicker.
The seller sent us a binding offer letter where if we signed, we had to pay a substantial amount as a deposit. This deposit will be forfeited if we didn't execute the final sale & purchase agreement in a month (which is a really short time for due diligence and more).
Because they were in demand, the draft terms I saw in the sale & purchase agreement were really harsh and demanding. Very against our favour.
I was eager to do the deal and I shared it with our board and investors. They were willing to do it if I was up for it and I was. The one big concern I had was that once we pay the deposit, we would have a short time frame to close the deal. That would put us at a disadvantage when it came to negotiate the salient terms of the agreement because the longer we took to negotiate, the sooner time runs out and we lose our deposit. Time then works against us, and works for the other side which puts them at a strong advantage.
The precaution I took of that though was before I signed the offer letter and paid the deposit I wanted to see the first draft of the sale & purchase agreement. I only got that draft the day we were supposed to sign the deal and boy the terms were so harsh I knew we were going to take a long time to negotiate to a middle ground. A part of me had come so far and just wanted to see the deal through, but I knew I was in trouble. I wanted the deal too badly to be able to negotiate effectively.
The seller wanted to sell quickly, by the deadline stipulated in the offer letter. So they're willing to give up a bit of money to get the deal done sooner.
There is no other buyer. It's a bluff.
As I sat to think about this I reminded myself of one rule in a negotiation. DEADLINES ARE ALL MANMADE. When faced with deadlines we choose whether a deadline is going to be used to our disadvantage or our advantage on the negotiation table. Clearly if I had gone ahead and signed the offer letter, I would be using it to my own disadvantage.
After some thinking I came to a conclusion that if either 1) or 2) were true, then the seller wouldn't mind me not signing the offer letter and just signing the sale & purchase agreement by the one month deadline. Because they don't lose time either ways. Although the big assumption here is that we're doing with a rational seller. If emotions play a bigger part of the seller than rationality then these two points above need not apply. In fact it becomes very unpredictable.
After I told the seller that I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulder. I realise that I had tunnel vision for a deal I wanted closed and that really buying them would still entail a risk. We were not necessarily better off, or worse off from forgoing this deal. I realised that I'm willing to forgo this deal altogether.
Now that I've accepted that I'm willing to lose this deal, I think I can negotiate better. Of course I don't know the outcome yet… and I'll probably know in a few weeks time. One thing I know for sure… I would have regretted doing this deal on these terms if I had signed them today.


Machine learning and artificial intelligence are rapidly gaining popularity and adoption, as companies realize the unprecedented value of predictive analytics and calculated suggestions. Beyond the intriguing notion of artificial intelligence surpassing human performance, machine learning applications are reducing human intervention, cutting costs and increasing overall efficiency. However, discovering insights from ever-increasing amounts of data can be challenging, and many companies struggle with choosing the right tools to initiate projects.
The Iguazio Continuous Data Platform provides a turnkey solution to develop and deploy machine learning models. It comes with built-in essential applications: artificial intelligence and machine learning frameworks such as Spark, R and Tensorflow, orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes and a variety of bespoke serverless functions. The platform enables simultaneous access through multiple industry-standard APIs for streams, tables, objects and files that are all stored and normalized once, so that customers can launch new projects and then consume, share and analyze data faster.
By bridging the gap between development and operations, companies no longer deal with the complexity of moving workloads through different pipelines. Iguazio's end-to-end turnkey solution allows users to run both training and production models in one platform, all closer to the data source.
In the training stage, data scientists run queries on large datasets to develop algorithmic models and securely share them with authorized users. When it's time to put these models into production, Iguazio enables real-time processing of streaming data for rapid time to insights. Since machine learning models are built in containers, they are easily moved from development environments to operational environments.
The Iguazio platform delivers unmatched fine-grained security where data access or auditing can be enforced, using multi-layered network, identity, metadata or content-based policies.

Letters of Paul: An Expanded Paraphrase
Title: Letters of Paul: An Expanded Paraphrase
"This book is perhaps the most accessible introduction to the writings of St. Paul ever written in modern English," said an Amazon reviewer. That's because Professor Bruce does not approach his "expanded paraphrase" as a Bible translator, but as a storyteller recounting the life of Paul after his conversion and his correspondence with churches and individuals. This expanded paraphrase "is designed to make the course of Paul's argument as clear as possible," says F.F. Bruce.
One unique aspect of The Letters of Paul is that Professor Bruce tells the story of Paul—his early career, his conversion, and his missionary efforts—which then becomes the setting for placing each of Paul's letters in context and in approximate chronological order. Bruce's fascinating connecting narrative serves as the historical background for each letter.
Originally published as a diglot with the Revised Version of 1881, this edition contains only Professor Bruce's paraphrase so that the reader can compare it with a favorite translation. The Letters of Paul "is really a treasure—it is illuminating and beautiful," says Goodreads reviewer Milton Goodwin.

Home/Entertainment/More than 90,000 COVID-19 deaths in the US since June 2021 could have been prevented by vaccines
More than 90,000 COVID-19 deaths in the US since June 2021 could have been prevented by vaccines
Tens of thousands of COVID-19 deaths over the past four months could have been prevented had people gotten vaccinated, a new analysis finds.
Researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) found that 90,000 virus-related deaths since June 2021 – while the vaccine was widely available – were avoidable.
More than half, nearly 50,000, of these preventable deaths occurred in September, and 24,600 deaths occurring in August.
Researchers want health officials to do more to help reach the remaining 70 million unvaccinated Americans, and convince them to get the shots to protect themselves.
A KFF analysis finds that more than 90,000 deaths in the U.S. between June and September of 2021 – 80% of total deaths – could have been prevented by the COVID-19 vaccines
The researchers, who published their findings Wednesday as part of the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, used official death data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for their analysis.
Dr Krutika Amin, associate director of the tracker and one of the study's authors, told DailyMail.com that her team looked at the total number of reported Covid deaths in the four months from June to September 2021.
They excluded deaths that resulted from so-called 'breakthrough' infections, which occur when fully vaccinated people contract the virus.
Next, the team took the remaining deaths, and applied the reported 91 percent effectiveness of the vaccines at preventing death from the virus.
In total, they found 91,100 deaths in the U.S. that could have been prevented if those people were fully vaccinated.
Over that four-month time period, 102,469 Americans died from the virus, meaning that 89 percent of U.S. deaths over the period were preventable according to the KFF analysis.
Another analysis by KFF finds that unvaccinated Americans also cost $5.7 billion in avoidable hospital bills from June to August.
Amin believes health officials should try to relay these numbers to the remaining unvaccinated people, and let them know what kind of risk they may be taking by not getting jabbed.
'I think there are still ways for people to get out there and reach people who are still unvaccinated by continuing to inform them about how effective the vaccines are, [and that] the overwhelming majority of these deaths and also severe illnesses and hospitalizations, are among unvaccinated people,' she told DailyMail.com.
Currently in the U.S., everyone aged 12 or older is eligible for at least one of the COVID-19 vaccines.
The CDC reports that 76.6 percent of eligible Americans have received at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 66 percent are fully vaccinated.
Cases and deaths are back on the way down in the U.S. at the moment, with cases cutting nearly in half from 175,000 new cases per day in mid-September to around 90,000 per day currently.
Deaths have dropped by around 15 percent as well, from around 2,000 deaths per day in late September to 1,700 being recorded every day in early October.
While things are trending the right way, due to the evolving nature of the virus, and the constant changing of local Covid regulations nationwide, KFF cannot make a prediction for what will happen going forward.
'Because things of Covid have changed over time with the different variants, how many people are vaccinated, and other factors like states and local governments opening things up…we do not have a projection on what will happen in the future,' Amin said.
COVID-19 emerged as the second leading cause of death for Americans in September, killing nearly 1,700 people every day. Only heart disease killed more Americans
Last year, cases were rising around this time of the year, setting the table for a massive post-holiday season COVID-19 outbreak that is still the largest surge of the pandemic.
Cases are trending the other way this time, though, and with more than half of Americans vaccinated, there is a chance this holiday season will be safer.
The KFF report also found that COVID-19 was the second leading cause of death for all Americans in the month of September – killing 1,693 people every day – and surpassing cancer.
Only heart disease, which is consistently the leading cause of death for Americans, was a bigger killer than Covid last month with 2,000 people dying of the condition every day.
The virus was among the top seven causes of death of every age group last month.

A master of distraction and a man of few words.
"I was a very paranoid child. I was terrified of the wind, every time the wind would blow I would run inside scared." Suddenly, the previous half an hour spent chatting to the 25-year-old Alex Izenberg is beginning to make sense. "Every time a van went by as well I thought someone would get out and kidnap me so I ran inside to the house too," he tells me from his new home in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, some 20 minutes from where the now reclusive singer grew up.
Alex, like his music, I discover, has an enigmatic quality that's hard to pin down. His shape-shifting debut album, 'Harlequin', has arrived on Domino imprint Weird World and it's an immersive, off kilter journey full of dead ends, blurred lines and wide-open space.
There is a captivating childhood naivety to its make up, despite the rather adult arrangements that move effortlessly from track to track. Alex's playful vocal's take us down avenues of hope but never stray too far away from a dark path and much like this bizarre telephone call, the road to nowhere lies softly on his sat nav.
Why is the album called 'Harlequin'? An early icebreaker gets the silent treatment. "It's a secret," he finally replies after a sip from his mug. The stunning body of work is Alex's debut album proper but it also marks a culmination of half a decade's writing and recording under various pseudonyms. "No comment," is his reply when I try and dig further.
Maybe the coffee kicked in or Alex got used to my voice as he's in full flow now. He even asks me what my favourite track is and I answer 'The Farm', a sprawling album opener recalling Scott Walker at his most psychedelic or 'Yellow House' era Grizzly Bear. "Cool!" is his animated reply. I tell him I particularly enjoy the train sample that signals the end of the track and the beginning of the record's exploration in sound.
Alex has also regularly been compared to throwback artists that toy with melody, like Simon & Garfunkel. "I really like them a lot," he says. "There are certain songwriters like Richard Harris or Paul Simon who have in some cases the ability to compose a lyrical line that is so perfect, so distilled, so clean and pure, they can just write a couple of lines and make you expect something and then hit you with something else. Somehow it has a double meaning… I don't know what I am saying." He trails off but there was genuine passion in Alex's words, then we catch a slight chuckle. For a 25-year-old, these are touchstones from another generation, so what did he listen to growing up? "I don't know, I think it was just stuff I was exposed to, from friends and family." You can almost hear him smiling.
But is it an ambition of his to hit the road, one day?
OK so no immediate tour, even with his spiritual musical partner Ari?
We swiftly move on to pop culture. 'Harlequin' and its dreamlike, feverish atmosphere it manages to resonate long after it's finished playing. Like your favourite film or book, it lingers. So despite it being a long time ago, I ask Alex if he remembers what he was reading or watching in the studio?
Cool, I say, not quite remembering the British lead in the film, Clive something. "Owen," Alex perfunctory replies.

Q: Can I use command line to set developer verified for gerrit server changes I have been tasked to write a tool that queries open changes for a given git projects. Next it uses the tip of tree and the open changes to create a build and test. And if build and testing goes fine then set a developer-verified on the change.
By reading some available documentation I am able to query open changes form gerrit and pull those as required. But I need help regarding how I can set the developer verified bit.
Is it possible to use something like the gerrit query to set the developer verified?
I did read about gerrit review but I am not able to understand how to use my change numbers that I retrieved using gerrit query.

A: To set the "developer-verified" label using the "gerrit review" command you need to execute:
ssh gerrit gerrit review --label developer-verified=VALUE COMMIT|CHANGEID,PATCHSET

Examples:
ssh gerrit gerrit review --label developer-verified=+1 9a56f1ebe1edaef9a2c86b78da6ce4f66ff3eb53

ssh gerrit gerrit review --label developer-verified=-1 40666,2

To get the Commit or the ChangeId+Patchset of the change using the "gerrit query" command you need to use the "--current-patch-set" parameter:
ssh gerrit gerrit query --current-patch-set status:open project:PROJECT

change I5d196415aa48791adf60b7bc4b9b00280e992c9b
  project: PROJECT
  branch: master
  id: I5d196415aa48791adf60b7bc4b9b00280e992c9b
  number: 40666
  ...
  currentPatchSet:
    number: 2
    revision: 9a56f1ebe1edaef9a2c86b78da6ce4f66ff3eb53
  ...

The Commit will be shown in the "revision" field and the ChangeId+Patchset at the "number" fields.

Q: The proper implementation and using of custom char streams with ANTLR >= 4.7 In ANTLR 4.6 and earlier the following code works fine:
String code = readFile(args[0]);
ANTLRCustomStream codeStream = new ANTLRCustomStream(code);
MyLexer lexer = new MyLexer(codeStream);

I use a CaseInsensitiveInputStream.java for char case ignoring by way of ANTLRCustomStream.
But how can I use case insensitive input stream in ANTLR of version 4.7 and later? ANTLRInputStream is deprecated and I don't want to use it.
CharStream codeStream = CharStreams.fromFileName(args[0]);
// customCharStream here
MyLexer lexer = new MyLexer(customCharStream);

A: Unfortunately, the CharStreams interface does not allow to use custom streams. You have to create your custom stream just like before (via new CaseInsensitiveInputStream(...)). The CharStreams interfaces is only of limited use (to create optimized streams for standard cases).
Btw. I'd rather recommend to use the typical A: [aA]; B: [bB]; .. approach to implement case insensitivity. That lowercasing trick is just a hack that doesn't work for full Unicode input (e.g. some uppercass letters can have multiple lower case variants). Uppercasing however also does not help here (e.g. in german uppercasing Straße becomes STRASSE).
In general it's very tricky to implement a truly case insensitive parsing for full Unicode input, as it requires to case fold both input and grammar tokens to be able to compare them.

A mighty, bombastic intro blasted through the speakers, and then the harbingers of evil arrived.
"This is a beautiful day, it's the day of the arrival of Satan's empire!"
- Magnus 'Emperor Magus Caligula' Broberg (vocals)
After a mighty, bombastic intro however, the show felt like just as mighty an anti-climax right from the start. Our ear-drums were severely put to the test, but when the band was supposed to take over the music from the pre-recorded tape, almost no sound came out of the speakers! Not the best way to start off…
Still, even with no sound (this was corrected quickly) the band looked mighty impressive standing there in their newly made evil looking armours and old-school corpse-paint. The only thing missing was fire, but it seemed none of the bands at the festival were allowed to include a pyro-show (at least nothing big ever came out), so this was to be expected. Some of the fans wouldn't stand for it however, and started fire-breathing right in the middle of the crowd. Personally, I would have felt safer with it up on the edge of the stage, but somehow it must be included in this sort of show. It's just mandatory I think…
Ok, towards the end of the show Emperor Magus Caligula (a.k.a. Magnus 'Masse' Broberg) also performed some fire-breathing himself, during the song Vobiscum Satanas to be precise, and thus the circle seemed complete.
The crowd seemed well-fitted and appreciative of the evil music, and the show saw an impressive amount of devil-horns raised to the heavens. I have earlier mentioned Vobiscum Satanas, which was a hit with the audience, and apart from this one other older songs seemed well received; The Arrival Of Satan's Empire and the ending track of the night, An Apprentice Of Satan, were among them.
For myself however, who isn't a great black metal enthusiast in general, and have never really gotten into Dark Funeral as a band, this show did nothing more for my festival experience than prolong the wait for my bed during the second day at Brutal Assault. It wasn't bad, it was just not for me…

It seems our little furry friends have returned. Remember this face – one only a mother could love?
Back last February Delores next door was battling moles in our lawn very diligently. She and Bob went on their annual trip to Hawaii in March and no moles showed up to drive her crazy when she came home. So things have been quiet – until 2 weeks ago. Eddie found mole piles in the bed by the garage and now the flowerbed by the back porch. We also have weeds coming up no matter what we do.
I thought the moles were gone, but they only were off somewhere on their summer holidays. Now it is back to work, no more frolicking in other places. Too bad they didn't decide to move there, there are several who would have happily wished them Bon Voyage with hoopla, knowing they would not return. They and Mother Nature had other plans.
This is by the back porch – my toe is in the picture. They seem to like the new mulch better than the grass.
They have been quite busy lately, not satisfied with one mound, they do several at a time. Who knows, maybe it is triplets just learning the trade under Mom and Pop's training.
I wonder if this one was made by Pop, the head of the clan. He must be a big bugger.
The one on the left was the first one, and I think Eddie took the shovel and hit it, or maybe just stomped it so it was level again. The one beside it is a little newer.
Looks like Pop has been at it again – no flowerbed left behind. This is along the garage and the cement path – I had to take pictures before Eddie took care of them.
This is what happened when the latest incarnation of Mr. Dinh did when he mowed the dandelions and edged the walk.
Hmmmm, maybe I should take a few pictures of "after" since I already have "before". No story is complete without a beginning and ending.
They have predicted thunder storms today – so far just thunder and lightning but I am not going out to take pictures and get wet. That is for another day. Instead, I found this one on Tracey Warren's Facebook page and loved it – I was chuckling over it for quite a while. I think it's the best way to end this blog.

'Invader' Building On Deep Foundations
We're all guilty of it. A horse shows talent; we seek its source in the pedigree; and, however discouraging the initial sifting, eventually we pluck out some plausibly glinting nugget to brandish triumphantly aloft. "See! This proves there is a seam of gold!" And that's fair enough. We all have a stake in the viability of selective breeding, albeit we don't actually want its outcomes to become too predictable. If the mysteries of pedigree were entirely transparent, the guy who buys the sale-topper would win the Derby every year and...
8.2 Million Reasons to Spread Genetic Credit
Nice to see that the people who count--the ones who actually spend the dough, that is, as opposed to impudent bystanders who tell them how much better we could do it--don't have time for that glib prejudice against older producers, whether mares or stallions. In making the daughter of a 23-year-old mare the most expensive yearling filly in Keeneland September history, however, they set a far more significant challenge to assumptions that are shared a good deal more widely.

Нутрігеноміка — наука про вплив харчування на експресію генів. Нутрігеноміка вивчає вплив різних нутрієнтів на активність різних генів, на рівні епігенетики, генетики та системної біології.

Тобто продукти харчування можуть "вмикати" чи "вимикати" конкретні гени, тим самим активуючи конкретні фізіологчні процеси, та сприяючи розвитку чи виліковуванню від різноманітних захворювань та патологій здоров'я.

Загальні відомості
Нутрігеноміка взаємопов'язана з нутрігенетикою.
 Нутрігеноміка досліджує ефекти нутрієнтів і їх зв'язок з характеристиками експресії генома, протеомікою, метаболомікою і результуючими змінами в метаболізмі.
 Нутрігенетика досліджує ефекти генетичної варіабельності у впливі дієти на здоров'я.

Метою нутрігеноміки є дослідження оптимального раціонального харчування для підтримки здоров'я чи для лікування конкретних хвороб.

Застосування
Основна увага приділяється профілактиці та корекції специфічних генетичних розладів. Прикладами генетично пов'язаних розладів, які покращуються при корекції харчування, є ожиріння, ішемічна хвороба серця (ІХС), гіпертонія та цукровий діабет 1 типу.

Профілактика ішемічної хвороби серця
Гени, пов'язані з харчуванням, проявляються через чутливість організму до їжі. У дослідженнях ІХС існує зв'язок між хворобою та наявністю двох алелів, виявлених у локусах аполіпопротеїнів Е та В. Ці відмінності локусів призводять до індивідуальних реакцій на споживання ліпідів. Деякі люди відчувають збільшення ваги та більший ризик ІХС, тоді як інші з іншими локусами – ні. Дослідження показали пряму залежність між зниженням ризику ІХС і зниженням споживання ліпідів у всіх групах населення.

Омолодження та здорове довголіття
Рандомізоване клінічне дослідження 2021 року 43 здорових людей у віці від 50 до 72 років показало, що 8 тижнів здорового способу життя — рослинно-орієнтована дієта, достатній сон, фізичні вправи та активне розслаблення, прийом пробіотиків та фітонутрієнтів — омолодили біологічний (епігенетичний) вік людей у середньому на 3.2 роки (p=0.018).

Середземноморська дієта
Середземноморська дієта відноситься до натуральних дієт, що походили з Греції, Італії та Іспанії до глобалізації харчових продуктів у 20 столітті. Дієта передбачає відносно велике споживання фруктів та овочів, горіхів, оливкової олії, жирних морепродуктів, бобових та цільнозернових. Мінімально споживаються продукти з підвищеною жирністю і молочні продукти.

Численні дослідження геноміки харчування показали, що середземноморська дієта є найкориснішою з харчової точки зору. Вона позитивно пов'язана зі зниженням смертності, профілактує метаболічні порушення, серцево-судинні захворювання і деякі типи онкопатологій.

Ці переваги пояснюються великою кількістю харчових біологічно активних сполук, присутніх у середземноморських продуктах харчування. Прикладами цього є Curcuma longa (куркума), різноманітні поліфеноли, наприклад, ресвератрол, лікопен, кверцетин і поліфеноли в оливковій олії першого віджиму. Ці біологічно активні сполуки модифікують експресію генів та епігеном, запобігаючи розвитку багатьох захворювань.

| Teen says Burger King's dress code violated her religious practices
Teen says Burger King's dress code violated her religious practices
On Behalf of San Diego Employment Attorneys Group | Sep 7, 2012 | Discrimination
Strict dress codes are typical requirements for many jobs. It is not illegal for an employer to mandate that its employees wear uniforms or follow dress code requirements to convey a professional environment.
Most employees in San Diego have very little problems with adhering to these dress codes. But on occasion, an employer's dress code may conflict with an employee's religious beliefs or practices, which may ban some articles of clothing or require other customary garments.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal for an employer to engage in religious discrimination against any employee, unless an employee's request for a religious accommodation poses an "undue hardship" for an employer.
More specifically, an employer has a responsibility to accommodate a request to wear clothing that is required by a religious practice, unless it creates an "undue hardship" or is dangerous. If the employer does not accommodate such a request, the employer could be held liable for religious discrimination.
Recently, a teenage girl filed a lawsuit against a Burger King franchise for its religious discrimination against her. The girl is a Pentecostal Christian and she is not allowed to wear pants. She must wear long skirts instead. When she applied for a job at Burger King, the dress code required all employees to wear pants. The girl explained that this violated her religious practices, and a Burger King manager told her that she could show up for the first day of work in a long skirt.
But when the girl arrived for her orientation wearing a long skirt, another manager asked her to leave.
Although the girl was never officially allowed to work, Burger King is being sued for back pay and interest. The teen is disappointed that she was denied the opportunity to work and save money during her senior year of high school as a result of the company's religious discrimination practices.

AGIR fue un coalición política portuguesa de los partidos MAS y PTP, fundada en julio de 2015 por la exmiembro del Bloque de Izquierda, Joana Amaral Dias, que defendía los servicios públicos, la democracia y la economía participativas y la lucha contra la corrupción.

Historia
El 23 de julio de 2015, AGIR formalizó una coalición con el MAS y el PTP, para presentarse a las elecciones legislativas de octubre de 2015. Aunque Joana Amaral Dias insistió en que AGIR no era un movimiento de derecha o de izquierda, el líder del MAS, Gil Garcia —también exmiembro del Bloque de Izquierda—, explicó que se unió a la coalición con el objetivo de formar una unión izquierdista en las elecciones legislativas, a fin de evitar el monopolio del gobierno del país por PS, PSD y CDS-Partido Popular. Fue disuelto tras las elecciones legislativas de octubre de 2015 al no obtener ningún diputado.

SHOCK REPORT: Detroit Used Defective Ballot Boxes In 2020 Election Despite Warning Stickers
(Republican Insider) – There's little doubt at this point that average Americans have come to believe that you'll not find a worse hive of scum and villainy in the United States than the city of Detroit when it comes to voter fraud and election theft.
There were many thugs and criminals, including election workers who were paid off, along with tons of others who served as outside agitators at the TCF Center in Detroit, all who were used by the radical left as a means of distracting, bullying, threatening, and intimidating GOP and Independent poll workers to assist them in their dirty work.
During the early hours of the morning last November, right after the election, there were tons of boxes of ballots being delivered to the location in an unmarked van.
Some folks don't think it's all that weird that Detroit and Michigan along with it went Democrat in the election. However, as 100 Percent Fedup reports, back in 2016, many residents of the state saw Donald Trump's popularity shoot through the roof in their state.
His rallies were huge, there were Trump signs pretty much everywhere, not to mention tons of Trump flags and banners were all over the place.
"Miles of boats lined up for Trump boat parades in the Great Lakes State. Trump, who could see the enthusiasm for his campaign exploding in Michigan, once again chose Grand Rapids, MI as his final campaign stop of the season. Cars lined up for over 6 miles to get into the venue, and once inside, Trump supporters waited in line for over one mile. Meanwhile, Joe Biden skipped the state in favor of campaigning from his basement," the report noted.
But somehow Biden managed to flip the state last year. Or so we've been led to believe.
According to 100 Percent Fedup, the city of Detroit used defective ballot boxes in the election held in 2020. Yes, that's right. The Detroit Department of Elections, under the authority of City Clerk Janice Winfrey, allegedly used defective ballot boxes.
"This was reported to both legal counsels at the Wayne County Board of Canvassers and the Senate Oversight Committee, which recommended an investigation by the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. But none appears to have occurred, despite the fact that, under Michigan law, if a clerk is found guilty of using an unapproved ballot container in an election, it is a misdemeanor crime punishable by up to 90 days in jail," the report said.
Here is an excerpt from an upcoming report to be published by Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity:
"Both Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chair, Monica Palmer and her fellow GOP canvasser, Bill Hartmann, had been to the DOE (Detroit Department of Elections) in January before the elections to examine and approve 50 new ballot boxes (metal transfer cases in which ballots are stored from the election through the canvass). While there, Hartmann noticed the back end of one of the boxes caved in when he pressed against it. The spot welds attaching the back end or 'back beam' to the frame had failed. 'Where the seams are you could shove papers right through the back of them," Palmer told a Senate Committee. Concerned, Hartmann decided to test the others. Soon the canvassers were going from box to box reaching inside and giving a good 'slap' on the back end from the inside out. Hartman recalled dozens of boxes failed this simple test," the report stated (screen shot here).
"None of the boxes had any markings on them. No company name or any indication of what company manufactured them." -Bill Hartmann, member of GOP Wayne County Board of Canvassers went on to say.
"He found it peculiar that "none of the boxes had any markings on them. No company name or any indication of what company manufactured them." He then examined the cardboard boxes they arrived in. Again, there was no indication of a manufacturer or even any printed wording. Since the boxes were defective and the chain of custody could easily be compromised by someone slipping ballots through the gaps at the back, the canvassers ordered them to be repaired or replaced followed by a second attempt at certification. They recommended not using the same company due to its abysmal failure rate," the MC4EI said.
"The boxes were defective and the chain of custody easily compromised by someone slipping ballots through the gap in the back," he said.
"So, when Palmer and Hartmann arrived at the counting board floor on Election Day, they were appalled to find boxes to which they themselves had affixed and signed stickers back in January warning: 'Not approved for use as a ballot container.' Palmer testified to Senator Ed McBroom: 'I did observe several counting boards that were using the unapproved containers.' She emailed the Canvassing Board's legal counsel. Under Michigan law, a clerk using an unapproved container could be charged with a misdemeanor. She then asked the Senators: 'How are these processes happening? Especially when we had the Secretary of State send oversight in there to help improve things,'" the report continued.
The report then goes on to reveal an image showing a ballot box used in last year's election that had a sticker on it which was signed by Detroit Board of Canvassers Chair Monica Palmer that says, "Not Approved For Use As A Ballot Container" (screen shots here and here).
Is it possible that corrupt election staffers removed what could possibly be a false backing on a supposedly sealed metal ballot container and then swap out ballots meant for Trump with those marked for Biden?
These photographs demonstrate that this is a valid concern.
"Where the seams are, you could shove papers right through the back of them," said Palmer.
"Normally, at the close of the election, these ballot containers are sealed by the workers at the respective counting board, the seal numbers are recorded and, under Michigan law, are required to be signed by one Republican and one Democrat. A GOP challenger, alleges that, at the close of counting, the TCF Counting Board chief, Daniel Baxter asked for a handful of Republican poll workers to sign the seals on numerous ballot containers that they did not feel comfortable signing. This was due to the fact that they did not work at the counting boards where the ballot containers originated and therefore, could not attest to having any knowledge of what was in the containers, or as to whether chain of custody was still intact," the report said.
If you want to truly grasp how these irregularities truly impacted the counting of ballots at the TCF Center last November, you have to understand how the counting process is supposed to be done, and how the methods used last year were vastly different from the standard procedure.
"A 'counting board' is the smallest unit of vote-counting capability for tallying absentee votes. Each one counts the ballots from 1-4 Detroit precincts. There were 134 counting boards inside the TCF Center. Each one consisted of an arrangement of tables in a square with 3-5 poll workers seated around the outside of the tables (screen shot here). During the count, they each take a separate step in processing the ballot. This typically includes: verifying it exists in the electronic poll book, verifying that the signature on the outer envelope matches that on file, matching the number on the ballot with the number on the envelope, removing the ballot from the outer envelope, and removing the ballot's number stub. After processing, the ballot is then tabulated in a vote-counting computer," The folks over at 100 Percent Fedup said in their piece.
It's critically important to note that before 2020, ballots were counted in elections by inserting them into a large stand-alone tabulation machine that was located just a few steps away from where the counting board is located. After being counted, the ballot would then be dropped into a bin that was located inside the machine.
The report points out that the only time before the end of the vote count that ballots might be removed from the tabulation machine is if it became jammed. If a jam occurred, then it was the job of the supervisor of four or five of the counting boards to come with a key, open the door located on the side of the machine, fix the jam, then lock the door back.
The fixing of said jams were done in full view of poll workers. The ballots would stay inside the machine. Lots and lots of transparency in that process.
"This sensible and relatively secure arrangement changed in 2020. These large, locked, stand-alone tabulating machines were replaced with high-speed tabulators the approximate size of a desktop printer. Ballots were fed into these tabulators in batches of 50 and then moved to the appropriate metal ballot containers according to the precinct. In a bizarre arrangement that seems to defy logic, instead of these compact new tabulators being deployed on or near the counting board tables, thereby preserving proximity, "chain of custody," and thus ballot security, they were taken to a location far away from the boards and lined up in a long row. As noted in TCF Timeline," the report added.
The tabulation ballots for the 2020 election were completed far away from the counting boards, which is a violation of the chain of custody.
What this means is that the counting board team couldn't really sign off on the final number of ballots that had been processed because they weren't in the team's custody at the end of the shift. They had been walked, batch after batch, through the total chaos exploding in the room all the way over to the tabulators.
"The ballots were transported by a single poll worker through a gauntlet of people and tables in a massive, bustling room – over the size of a football field — and with no oversight. These ballot movements were not logged, and the ballots were not signed out. Thus, the chain of custody was broken, and at the end of the count, the poll workers at the counting boards could no longer attest that the ballots never left their custody. GOP challenger Eugene V. Dixon voiced his concern in an affidavit, stating that on Election Day at the TCF, he observed that the procedure for tabulating ballots included carrying stacks of 200 ballots to the tabulator area to be fed 50 at a time. Counted ballots would then go into metal bins near the tabulators. At one point, I noticed an election worker carry the metal bin containing tabulated ballots back to where the ballots were being picked up at the table. This would have easily allowed removing tabulated ballots from the container, adding them to the pile of yet-to-be tabulated ballots. When I complained to the supervisor – this practice stopped," the report pointed out.
This new arrangement also played a huge part in how ballots became mixed up, many of them appearing to have been put in the wrong container after the tabulation.
Another bit of evidence to show you how different the process for counting the ballots in last year's election were from previous years, tabulation machines were placed 7 feet from the rows of metal transfer cases, or ballot boxes, which is also where the ballots that were coming out of the tabulator would end up after being counted.
"GOP challengers were told to stay outside of the row of metal cases. This created a subtle but effective barrier that served to keep most GOP challengers' prying eyes far from tabulator jams and ballot over-counting. In addition, due to the distance of each transfer case from its respective tabulator, it is likely that ballots were occasionally placed in the wrong transfer cases, thus throwing that precinct 'out of balance,'" the folks at 100 Percent Fed Up said.
Under the law in Michigan, there can be no hand recount of the ballots in transfer cases if the number of ballots located inside the container does not equal the number that is listed on the tabulator tape. In that case, the number listed on the tabulator tape stands.
"When the Board of Canvassers investigated the imbalances at the August 4th debacle, the explanation given was that many ballots had been placed in the wrong containers. If a poll worker walks 7 or 8 feet from a tabulator to the tightly-packed row of ballot containers, it's conceivable that an occasional ballot meant for one precinct might end up in that of another, thus throwing off the count of two precincts, one having one ballot too many and the other having one ballot too few," the report said.
The real question on everyone's mind now is what in the world will be done about this problem to ensure it doesn't happen again? Unfortunately, there does not seem to be anyone in a position of power that cares about rigged elections. Guess that's the way it is when you're a politician.

FBI Raids Home Of Democrat Who Slammed Biden Over Border Crisis
BREAKING: More Voters Believe Trump Was Legitimately Elected Than Biden


There's a wristwatch for every game you want to play. These luxury models by prestigious watchmakers transition seamlessly from a deep sea dive to a day at the derby. The 12 timepieces showcased here are rough and ready for adventure but smooth around the edges, sharp to look at, and smart on the inside.
The choice between the devil and the deep blue sea is now moot. Water-resistant to 300m the new Seastar 1000 begs to be submerged. Tissot and Seastar go a long way back, but the latest version looks nothing like those modest waterproof watches of the 60s. With a sleek energetic design and extremely sturdy case, the Seastar 1000 combines the performance of an automatic movement with the aesthetic appeal of a timepiece crafted for connoisseurs.
The Inverso is a symphony that subverts the subject of Giuseppe Verdis' defining opera, Nabucco. The harmony of the dial that traverses the colour spectrum from dark to light, embodies the wisdom of the individual who chooses the path of reason and changes the course of history. The dazzling 46mm case, tachometric bezel sculpted in titanium, and a sapphire crystal with dual-sided antiglare treatment of 2.5mm thickness, make this sophisticated timepiece more aesthetically appealing than its predecessors.
This timepiece is inspired by the 1997 Rainbow Flyback model that was developed exclusively for the French Air Force. The watch is equipped with the El Primero calibre, an integrated column-wheel chronograph movement that beats at a high frequency and is 25 percent faster than other mechanical calibres. The Stratos Flyback comes in four models: a steel version, a hyper-resistant black Alchron version, and black and gold Alchron versions.
The new Infantry Vintage Mechanical is trimmer in case size than the earlier mechanical models. The look is similar but the tone-on-tone colour block combinations set this piece apart. Its dial comprises three bold hands and three circles of indicators - 24-hour military markers in the middle, oversized Arabic hours around them, and a 60-minute/second track with five second intervals at the dial periphery. The look is rich, sophisticated, and masculine and the new dimensions make it appropriate for all wrist sizes. Each surface is satin-finished, with cut and polished angles subtly bringing a shimmering light to the outline.
This professional underwater watch was first created half a century ago for commandos of the Egyptian Navy. The case is brushed bronze, 47mm in diameter, and water-resistant to 300m. The P.9000 calibre is structured with a three-quarter plate, and two spring barrels which provide a power reserve of three days. The dial has a deep luminous green tinge that contrasts well with the bronze finish.
This watch exhibits a striking fusion of materials and colours; black ceramic, steel, titanium, rubber and a celebrated solid red-tinted sapphire crystal. The case, which comes in 41mm, 44mm and 48mm options is rounded off by black alligator gummy straps and red top stitching.
Omega has upgraded its Seamaster Planet Ocean range with the Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.50mm titanium liquid metal chronograph. The new version has Omega's co-axial calibres and Si-14 grade silicon balance spring. Add to that Ocean watch dials, watch hands and the diving bezel, which now come in a cool blue or a vivid orange ceramic.
Striking a balance between heritage, sports and lifestyle, this latest model by Bandelier is a perfect blend of style, finesse and craftsmanship. The watch features quartz movement displaying seconds, minutes and hours. It has a case diameter of 41mm, a bi-directional turning bezel and a bracelet, all polished and brushed with 316L grade steel and water resistant upto 100m.
The watch comes with a generous 44mm case in steel or 18 carat rose gold, framing a vintage-style dial design with elongated numerals. The case is water-resistant up to 100m and is fitted with a new integrated strap in natural rubber that echoes the design of the famous 1960s Dunlop racing tyres.
This limited edition watch is edgy and expressive in a 46mm case in black physical-vapour coated steel with a screw-lock crown. The caseback features an engraving of a black octopus, while the bezel is made from rusted steel salvaged from the Titanic. The dial has a beaten texture, with superluminova numerals. The strap in black vulcanised rubber features octopus-like suction cups underneath.
IWC brings the Yacht Club back in the iconic Portuguese case as the 45.4mm Yacht Club Chronograph, the first sporty model in the Portuguese family. The movement is IWC's manufacture calibre 89360. Built for sea duty, a screw-in crown and crown protection help protect against the elements. The case also offers six bar water resistance.


At this time when Christians reflect on the biblical journey of the three wise men from the East, and all of that other good stuff, I wish one and all a Happy, Peaceful and Blessed Christmas and New Year.
But this article isn't about Season's Greetings. It's about education.
In my opinion, our education system isn't working.
It's failing because, sadly, there's been no apparent philosophical framework, no overarching vision, to ensure that our nation's children are properly and roundly educated and cultivated, and no will to put the proper structures and programs in place.
The evidence of this failed system is all around us, painfully and shamefully palpable and visible, whether in the deep pits of poverty or on the perches of power and pomp.
Knowledge, character and compassion are in scarce supply.
Yes, the home has its role to play in the education of our children, as do other institutions. But they too are also failing, epidemically. And putting our education system on the right path can do a lot to halt this epidemic. The school can be the catalyst which the whole country needs.
However, for the moment, there's little indication of a sea change, as we note that successive Governments over the past 30-40 years have presided over, and even unwittingly boasted about, an education system which has in fact not remained relevant, progressive and creative.
And we, the people, have watched the decline without as much as a loud murmur. In fact, we are the decline.
Now, we don't have to try to reinvent the wheel. All we need to do is to shop around for successful models, or a combination of models, which we can then adapt to our realities and aspirations.
And there are a number of successful education models to which we can refer for guidance.
Let's look to the East.
A recent global analysis has shown that the top 12 countries in the world for the education of children are: Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Finland, Estonia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, Poland and Vietnam.
We can have an in-depth look at all of these countries, and they've all been impressive. But the one that stands out for me is Singapore, and for three reasons: first, it holds first place in mathematics and science in the world at primary and secondary school levels; second, it's a tiny country, smaller than Dominica; and third, it's a young country, only 51 years old.
When Singapore became independent in 1965, it was plagued by poverty, crime, unemployment, and poor health and housing conditions. The Government of the day focused, at first, on two main areas: education and housing. And their steady progress in both areas helped greatly to bring the other issues under control.
By 1990, Singapore had become one of the world's success stories. Indeed, its achievements have been quite amazing.
Think of it. A small, young nation with problems of education, crime, unemployment, housing, and health. Sounds familiar? Yes, but Singapore's problems in 1965 were far worse than ours in 1983, and far worse than ours in 2016, after 33 years of nationhood.
What its leaders did was to develop a vision and a sensible, practical strategy to tackle the problems.
Let me give you a brief picture of how Singapore approaches education. But before I do so, I hope that you've noticed that (i) the top 5 rated countries are all in Asia, and (ii) most of the top 12 countries are relatively small in terms of physical size. For example, Hong Kong is smaller than Guadeloupe, and Taiwan is half the size of Cuba.
Singapore allocates 20% of its annual budgetary spending to education. It takes its education, its teachers, and, especially, its children very seriously. It doesn't play around when it comes to teaching and learning.
In fact, education is its major investment and that investment has paid off handsomely in terms of economic and social development and stability.
The principal objective of the education system in Singapore is to ensure that every person has a good sense of self awareness, a sound moral compass, and the requisite skills, initiative and strength of character to face the challenges of life.
Such a person is expected to be responsible to family, community and nation; to appreciate the beauty of the world around him or her; to possess a healthy mind and body and a zest for life; to be of sound judgment; to be an active and committed team player, and an informed, concerned, civic-minded citizen, firmly rooted and a proud and honourable Singaporean.
And the education system, the subject choices and loads, the teaching methods, the training, skills and attitudes of teachers, and the physical environments, etc., are all crafted and mandated to produce that type of citizen.
Getting a child to and through school is, for the Government and people of Singapore, a process of holistic, human development and nation building, not a mere exercise designed to pass 'x' amount of subjects.
And their vision, strategy and techniques are equally visible at their Kindergarten, their primary, and their secondary school levels.
Kindergarten provides the environment for the children to learn to interact with each other, individually and collectively, and to prepare them for primary school. At Kindergarten, they learn two languages, numbers, personal and social skills, games, music, and outdoor play.
Upon completion of primary school, Singaporean children are expected to be able to differentiate right from wrong; to have a sense of their own strengths and areas of growth; to be able to cooperate, and to share with and care for others; to have a lively curiosity about things; to be able to think for themselves and express themselves confidently; to take pride in their work and in work generally; to have healthy habits, and an awareness of the arts; and to know and love their country.
By time they're done with secondary school, they're expected to have moral integrity; to believe in their own abilities and to be able to adapt to change; to be able to work in teams and show respect, tolerance and empathy for others; to be creative and have an enquiring mind; to be able to appreciate diverse and differing views and communicate effectively; to take responsibility for their own learning and their own actions; to enjoy physical activities and appreciate the arts; and to believe in their country and to understand what matters to their country.
And the philosophical framework for Singapore's education system continues through college/university and to adulthood generally, as people are expected to have moral courage and stand up for what is right; to be resilient in the face of adversity; to be socially responsible and to collaborate and cooperate across cultures; to be innovative and enterprising; to be able to think critically and communicate persuasively; to be purposeful in the pursuit of excellence; to pursue a healthy lifestyle and have an appreciation for aesthetics; and to be proud to be Singaporeans, and understand their country in relation to the world.
It is within this philosophical framework that the mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the humanities, and the technologies are taught and learned. No wonder they're Number One in the world in mathematics and science at both primary and secondary levels.
A successful education system, a successful country. No magic. Just a clear vision, and sensible policies and practices.
So here's what I think we in St.Kitts & Nevis ought to do: Let's look to the East….and learn.

testsuite: Increase timeout for Asterisk shutdown
Review Request #4464 - Created March 9, 2015 and submitted March 11, 2015, 1:23 p.m.
Corey Farrell
asterisk-dev
I've run into issues lately in Asterisk 13+ where 5 seconds is not long enough to complete the Asterisk shutdown, causing it to be killed.  This results in many false failures with REF_DEBUG enabled.  I feel the best way to handle this is to always increase the timeout to 10 seconds.  I realize that REF_DEBUG is the reason it's taking longer, but it's also the reason that dozens of these timeouts have been resolved.
If needed I can find a way to check for the existance of a refs log and double the timeout if found, but I don't think 10 seconds is an unreasonable.  It's tough to tell but I think this issue effects around 30 tests in 13/trunk (approximate number of tests with unstable results).  Once this is committed it'll be easier to identify and resolve real shutdown timeouts - where Asterisk wouldn't shutdown no matter how long you wait.
Testing Done:
No more shutdown timeouts from tests capable of graceful shutdown.

SAT dismisses Vijay Mallya's appeal against Sebi order

The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) dismissed Vijay Mallya's appeal against Sebi's interim order which had barred him from accessing the capital markets

Mumbai: The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) on Friday dismissed Vijay Mallya's appeal against the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) interim order which had barred him from accessing the capital markets.
"We are inclined to dismiss the appeal with a direction to the appellant to appear before Sebi, in person or through a legally authorized representative, and make his submissions before Sebi within 21 days from today," said SAT in the order.
On 25 January, Sebi had barred the former United Spirits Ltd (USL) chairman and six former executives of the company from accessing the securities market for alleged violations of the listing agreement, diversion of funds and fraud.
Mallya had approached SAT against the directive on 7 April alleging violations of principle of natural justice. His appeal said that Sebi has based its order on two forensic audit reports and without its own investigations.
SAT said that considering the gravity of the situation (allegations of diversion of funds) Sebi was justified in using its powers under Section 11 (B) to pass an interim order. That section of the Sebi Act allows the regulator to pass interim directions pending investigations.
In a 30-page order, Sebi's whole-time member S. Raman had said that funds from USL were diverted to some group companies of United Breweries Ltd, including the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd (KAL).
To come to this conclusion, Sebi had relied on two forensic audits conducted by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) and Ernst & Young (EY). Both audits examined transactions during 2010-2014.
While the audit by PwC observed that Rs655 crore was diverted and misappropriated, EY found that Rs1,225 crore was mis-utilised.
However, during the course of hearing, Sebi submitted that it also relied on its own evidence.
This evidence includes a January 2012 letter by Mallya authorizing the waive-off of Rs190 crore worth of dues, an email in March 2012 that USL 'would need to come up with' Rs44 crore that was due in income tax payments against KAL, and authorizing interim fund support from USL to United Breweries Holdings Ltd (UBHL).
"The ex-parte impugned order has been passed on prima-facie view and the appellant, instead of rushing to the tribunal, should have defended himself before Sebi by availing of the opportunity granted to him," said SAT in the order.
The counsel for Mallya had also requested that SAT allow the business tycoon to continue as chairman of United Breweries Ltd (UBL). In reply, SAT asked Mallya to make a representation to Sebi, which the regulator would consider on its merits.
On Thursday evening, UBL had informed the stock exchanges that Vijay Mallya has ceased to be the director of the company.

Klaster (zgęstek) – metastabilne (nietrwałe) zgrupowanie materii hadronowej. Ze względu na miejsce powstania klastra można mówić o dwóch ich rodzajach.
 Klaster nukleonów powstały w jądrze atomowym. Poruszające się w jądrze neutrony i protony mogą związać się za pomocą oddziaływań silnych. Tworzą wtedy proste, lekkie struktury odpowiadające lekkim jądrom, np. deuteronowi, cząstce α. Powstawanie klasterów ma charakter probabilistyczny, tj. istnieje zawsze pewna szansa na utworzenie się danego klastera w jądrze. Na istnienie klasterów wskazują wysokie przekroje czynne z udziałem cząstek α jako produktów (np. (n, α)(p, α)(α, 2α)(π, α)) i duże prawdopodobieństwo rozpadu α dla danego jądra.
 Zgęstek mezonów powstający np. w eksperymentach akceleratorowych w zderzeniach nukleon-nukleon jako cząstka rezonansowa.

Harvey Weinstein attempting to influence exposé about him
Harvey Weinstein is still trying to control the movie business — using his famed bully tactics in a bid to influence a new film exposé about him.
While he remains in exile, the disgraced movie mogul is attempting to flex his severely diminished power over Barry Avrich's documentary, "The Reckoning: Hollywood's Worst Kept Secret," set for release this fall.
Avrich says Weinstein personally sent him an email last month, saying, "Can't wait to see [it]. Oscar [coming] for you," indicating he still considers himself an Oscar kingmaker, despite having been expelled by the Academy.
Weinstein asked in the email about Avrich's Neuremberg trial doc, "Prosecuting Evil." The Weinstein Company had acquired the worldwide rights last year, but Avrich wrestled the film back as the sexual harassment scandal broke.
Avrich wasn't fooled. He told us, "This is classic Harvey, he was poking around, flattering me to find out more about my film about him. He's a classic sociopath." Avrich says he sent a dismissive response, but, "48 hours later I got an email from 'Harvey's assistant', saying, 'Harvey wants to see your film, please to send it to this lawyers office in LA', which I have no intention of doing."
This isn't the first time the pair have clashed: Avrich's 2011 doc, "Unauthorized: The Harvey Weinstein Project," was bought by IFC. But the director claims IFC insisted on changes for Weinstein and did not release the film in theaters. Avrich said, "I am certain they picked up the film without any intention to release it, and Harvey was behind it, he is close to the Dolan family who own IFC Films. It was a classic machiavellian chess move." IFC has denied this claim.
This time, Avrich will not be blocked. His doc contains further accounts from those who say they were sexually harassed by the mogul.
It also discusses others hit by sexual misconduct and assault allegations including James Toback, Louis C.K. and Woody Allen.
And as rumors circulate that Weinstein continues to secretly invest in movies, Avrich added, "I don't believe that intensive sex addiction therapy in Arizona is going to change him, not a chance."
