Launch of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission
Waterfront Insular Hotel, Lanang, Davao City|
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte led the launch of the expanded Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) held at the Waterfront Insular Hotel in Lanang, Davao City.
In his speech, the President expressed his eagerness to achieve genuine peace. "We must have peace at all cost but I would like to tell you now, that as President ang gusto ko talagang mangyari ay kapayapaan but it must be one country, one nation, and one flag," he said.
He also challenged the members of the expanded BTC regarding its vital role on the peace process.
"So I'm urging the BTC, navigate the hindrances and construction at hanapin ninyo ang daan hanggang patungo ng kapayapaan. Mahirap 'yan, it would be a long journey but if there's a product that is acceptable to all makikita ninyo ako, maybe in front of Filipino nation. I will ask every Filipino to vote for it because it will make us a great nation. So I leave it up to you, you know the history, you know the equation here, you know the composition of the population, you know the religions here, you know the idiosyncrasies of the tribes," the Chief Executive stressed.
The BTC is the body that would draft the Bangsamoro enabling law. The creation of the enabling law is part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) which was signed between the government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front way back in March 2014.
The commission is expected to submit the draft of the new enabling law on July of this year. The enactment of the law will create new political entity replacing the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in which it will have greater autonomy than the present ARMM but will still remain part of the Republic of the Philippines.
The 21 BTC members presented to the President are the following: Haron M. Abas, Firdausi Ismail Y. Abbas, Ibrahim D. Ali, Hussin Amin, Maisara Dandamun-Latiph, SamiraGutoc-Tomawis, Hatimil Hassan, Mohagher M. Iqbal, Ghadzali Jaafar, Raissa H. Jajurie, Gafur A. Kanain, Datu Mussolini Sinsuat Lidasan, Jose I. Lorena, Abdulraof Abdul Macacua, Hussein P. Munoz, Romeo Saliga, Susana Salvador-Anayatin, Omar Yasser C. Sema, Said M. Shiek, Ammal D. Solaiman, and Melanio U. Ulama.

Bold and brassy
The hands have it: choreographer Rose Wray-McCann shows the quintessential "'jazz hands" to the cast of Chicago.
Scandalous costumes, a bold and brassy band, hot numbers and outrageous songs … Wonthaggi Theatrical Group's production of Chicago has the lot.
By Nina Barry-Macaulay
IMAGINE the most glamorous art deco set, laden with talented women in scandalously stunning costumes, a bold and brassy band, fantastic choreography, and a soundtrack that has your feet tapping and eyes shining …
This is what audiences can expect from Wonthaggi Theatrical Group's upcoming production of Chicago.
Set in 1920s Chicago, Chicago takes its audience on a vaudeville tour of Velma Kelly and Roxy Hart's criminal trials. Both women are accused of murder and, with the help of criminal lawyer Billy Flynn, learn to use the media to manipulate their way out of jail and into stardom.
The cast and crew have been working tirelessly over a short and intense eight-week rehearsal period. Blessed with an experienced cast who have been diligent in learning lines and steps, and a skilled creative team, director Karen Milkins-Hendry is thrilled with their progress. "It's a little crazy to think that we open in two weeks."
Milkins-Hendry says you don't have to be a musical theatre buff to be entertained by Chicago because it has something that appeals to everyone. "I'm so excited to share this show with the community. I really hope people come out to see it. It's a real crowd pleaser – full of humor, wit, dancing and action."
Chicago will be on stage at the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre from Saturday, August 19 to Saturday, September 2. Tickets are on sale at www.wtg.org or in the foyer of the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre from 10am-2pm Tuesday to Friday, starting from Tuesday, August 8.
Wow ! I just booked my tickets !
"Congratulations Wonthaggi Theatrical Group - what a great job. And congratulations to the people of Wonthaggi and the wider Bass Coast for the support of the show. It was a good feeling to see the theatre at capacity and what a great venue it is. The experience of last night reinforces my view that the money that will be spent on the theatre by Council this year will be worth every cent!
I was impressed with the quality of the performances from people who I'm told mainly have real jobs. In particular, I have met "Roxie" Nina Barry-Macauley in her day job, I have even seen her glammed up for the evening of the Mayors Fundraiser earlier this year but wow, what a chameleon. I thoroughly enjoyed her performance.
All of the main characters hit it well. I liked Bron Kallos as Velma and didn't like the manipulative Billy Flynn so Will Hanley did a great job and what a great voice Mama has. Jay Nelson as the repressed Amos with his crumpled hat won the audience hearts. We were impressed with the band who I understand were also selected by audition for the gig and of course the lighting was a great support.
A lot more people than we see up front goes into a production like this and I think it speaks well of our community that we have such great talent, teamwork and such a volunteer ethos.

The Queer Rearview: Life Like ★
Life Like is what you get when you take a sexy, sci-fi, erotic thriller and remove the thrills and most of the sex and dumb down the sci-fi. What plods along for most of the 90min running time is a muted exploration of humanity before it completely loses the plot with an utterly ridiculous twist ending.
When a super-rich couple buys an experimental android to help them out around their mansion, things start to unravel. As they each project their wishes on the handsome helper, they end up revealing the cracks in their own relationship. Sophie (Addison Timlin) objects to a female helper, so they chose Henry (Steven Strait, The Expanse). While her husband James (Drew Van Acker, Pretty Little Liars) is at work, Sophie starts to explore just how close to human Henry really is. From giving him literature to read and discuss, to questioning his own ultimate desires in life. Meanwhile Henry seems to be subtly manipulating the couple…
Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Life Like
Sadly the film never really gets off the starting block when it comes to exploring Henry's humanity or the effect he has on Sophie and James. On pretty much every level, Life Like fails to go further than skin deep. Henry seeds dischord in the relationship, seducing them both in turn. But unlike films like Ex Machina there is no real masterplan, no tension to the seduction to be anything more than titillation. This is basically a 90s direct-to-video erotic-thriller in concept, but with high brow intentions.
Director Josh Janowicz captures the action with a cold, static eye. Maybe it was a budgetary restraint but the lack of close-ups or camera moves in some scenes is striking, with action happening just off camera for no discernible reason. Just as the script lacks depth, the direction feels perfunctory.
The film does pick up with a sexy, bathroom seduction, as Henry tries to get James to see him as more than just a simple machine. The scene gives us some great eye-candy, and an interesting twist, but as they say, "one swallow doesn't make a summer" (pun intended).
When the highlight of a film is a bit of bum and some fantastic locations, you know things are pretty grim. Combine all this with an an ending that defies all logic, Life Like is D.O.A..

Life Like was released in 2019 by Lionsgate Home Entertainment and is available on VOD platforms, DVD and Blu-ray.

Nationwide, 12.4 percent of Americans rely on SNAP benefits. Several cities have SNAP rates nearly double the national average rate, including Visalia.
Food is a basic need that an estimated 42 million Americans struggle to afford. Americans on fixed incomes, those with disabilities, and low-income households with children are among the most likely to struggle to put food on the table. However, because of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — or SNAP — many of these Americans do not go hungry.
Not only do the vast majority of cities on this list have higher unemployment than the national average, but they are also home to large shares of the most vulnerable populations, including poor single-parent families, the disabled, adults with less than a high school education, and retirees on a low fixed income.
Nationwide, 12.4 percent of Americans rely on SNAP benefits. Several cities in the top 25 nationwide have SNAP recipiency rates nearly double the national average rate, including Visalia, Fresno and Merced.

Thousands of Afghans flee fighting in Hazara districts
AFPPublished November 13, 2018
Smoke rising into the air after Taliban militants launched an attack on the Afghan provincial capital of Ghazni on August 10. — AFP/File photo
Thousands of Afghans have fled to Ghazni city to escape fighting in two Hazara-dominated districts, with some describing the violence on Tuesday as the worst they had seen in the 17-year conflict.
The Taliban have been battling members of Afghanistan's special forces and ethnic Hazara militia in the previously safe districts of Jaghori and Malistan in the southeastern province of Ghazni for nearly a week.
Hundreds of people, including civilians, militia, commandos and militants, have been killed, according to figures provided by locals and government officials.
Many families have fled to the provincial capital, some leaving their homes in the middle of the night and travelling on side roads to avoid Taliban checkpoints.
"We were scared, other people were fleeing so we decided to leave too," said a woman called Zainab, who drove with her five children for 12 hours on dirt roads from her home in Jaghori district to Ghazni city.
"We have never seen this kind of war and my children and I were scared," she told AFP, adding that her husband had stayed behind to protect their property.
Around 2,000 families displaced by the fighting are living in mosques and hostels in Ghazni city, said Abdul Haleem Noori, director of the Afghan Red Crescent Society in Ghazni.
Others are staying with relatives as they wait out the fighting.
Afghan security forces have stepped up ground and air offensives in the restive region, and United States forces also have launched air support, including aerial surveillance.
The escalation in fighting comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity to convince the Taliban to negotiate an end to the war.
Jaghori district "is surrounded by Taliban and there are a lot of them", Mohammad Ali told AFP in a mosque where he is staying with nine family members.
"They were very well equipped with night-vision goggles and heavy weapons."
Fighting in the area has been ongoing since Wednesday.
There are growing fears the violence could be rooted in ethnic or sectarian differences.
Most Hazaras belong to the Shia sect of Islam.
The Taliban, which are Sunni and largely ethnic Pashtuns, have been accused of committing human rights violations against the group during their oppressive 1996-2001 rule.
As displaced families continued to arrive in Ghazni city on Tuesday, provincial police spokesman Ahmad Khan Sirat told AFP the "situation is under control".
"Commando forces have been deployed in both Jaghori and Malistan," Sirat said.
"We have reports of sporadic fighting."
The Afghan Red Crescent Society has dispatched food, warm clothes and medicine to hundreds of families still in Jaghori and Malistan districts.
The fighting has angered many Hazaras, who blame the government for failing to protect the minority ethnic group.
Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Kabul in the past two days to demand the deployment of military reinforcements to the Hazara districts under Taliban attack.
A suicide bomber blew himself up near the protesters on Monday, killing at least six people and wounding 20 in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.

"They were very well equipped with night-vision goggles and heavy weapons." Who is selling these weapons to Taliban ? Who will benefit from killing innocent Hazara Shia's ?
Thought provoking statement. They have night vision goggles. True face of US selling equipments in War torn country.


AJ Hackett for all your bungy needs!
You won't get disappointed with the very first only jump tower in SG. We laughed and screamed a lot on the skywalk.
Everything about the bungy was great! The view was even unreal and services of the staff were more than satisfactory!

Pallone and Booker will face off in the Aug. 13 Democratic primary. | AP Photos
Lautenberg family rejects Booker
By EMILY SCHULTHEIS
Family members of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said Monday they're backing Rep. Frank Pallone in the Aug. 13 Democratic primary to fill the seat — and took a swipe at Newark Mayor Cory Booker while they were at it.
"Frank Pallone knows that gimmicks and celebrity status won't get you very far in the real battles that Democrats face in the future," members of Lautenberg's family said in a statement. "… While it may not always attract glamorous headlines, Frank knows that to be effective you must put New Jersey and your principles first, not your own glory."
As for Pallone, the statement said he would best carry on Lautenberg's legacy.
"Deciding which candidate to endorse was not an easy decision. Most of the candidates in the Democratic field have proven themselves as hardworking, progressive leaders who care deeply about New Jersey," the family said. "But only one of them stands out as ready to continue Frank Lautenberg's progressive leadership in the U.S. Senate. … We are saying: Stick with Frank."
Booker, the front-runner in the Democratic primary, angered Lautenberg early this year as he was deciding whether to retire or run for reelection at 89. The senator acused Booker of trying to nudge him out of his seat, a show of disrespect in the longtime senator's view. Booker has garnered national media attention both for his work as Newark mayor and for acts, like saving a shivering dog from the cold, that were mocked as media stunts in some quarters.
( QUIZ: Do you know Cory Booker?)
Booker announced his intention to run for Lautenberg's seat in January, before the sitting senator had made a decision about whether he'd seek another term in 2014. His death last month prompted Gov. Chris Christie to call a special election.
After Booker made his announcement, Lautenberg likened the mayor to a naughty child who needed to be punished.
"I have four children, I love each one of them. I can't tell [you] that one of them wasn't occasionally disrespectful, so I gave them a spanking and everything was OK," he said at the time.
Still, some of Lautenberg's political advisers have moved on to work for Booker: Lautenberg's former campaign manager, Brendan Gill, and his communications director, Julie Roginsky, both work as advisers to Booker now, and Booker is using the same media and polling firms that Lautenberg used.
Most polling in the race shows Booker with a large double-digit lead over Pallone and the other candidates in the race, Rep. Rush Holt and state Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver.

Woman who helped man who killed his fiancee gets 3 years
Posted: Jan 28, 2020 / 11:33 PM MST / Updated: Jan 28, 2020 / 11:33 PM MST
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. — A woman who was having an affair with a Colorado man and helped him after he beat his fiancee to death has been sentenced to three years in prison.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports 33-year-old Krystal Lee was sentenced Tuesday after admitting she cleaned up the bloody crime scene after Patrick Frazee killed Kelsey Berreth. The killing happened in Berreth's townhome in Woodland Park in November 2018.
She also told investigators she took Berreth's phone to Idaho at Frazee's request to make it look like Berreth had left the state. Frazee is serving life in prison for first-degree murder.


C.1798-1865 Betsey Stockton was born into slavery, and emerged as a religious and academic pioneer. She was instrumental in bringing formal education to indigenous Hawaiians and Native Americans, and in establishing numerous schools.
The ABCFM accepted her as a member of the mission, and on November 22, 1822, at about age 24, Stockton became part of the second missionary group to be sent to the Hawaiian Islands. The agreement drawn up between Green, the Stewarts, and the ABCFM stated that Stockton would continue to work in a domestic capacity for the Stewarts, but that she was not to be assigned menial work. Stewart's wife, Harriet, was expecting a baby, and Stockton was to assist with that birth, but not partake in domestic duties beyond those of the other missionaries. It was the first voyage to Hawaii by an African American woman missionary.
For the three decades between 1835 and 1865, Stockton taught at various schools in the black areas surrounding Princeton. In 1848, she helped found the first African American Presbyterian Church in Princeton, which eventually became the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church. Stockton later established a night school called the Witherspoon Street Colored School, and persuaded seminary students to teach African American history, English, literature, and math there. Stockton died in October 1865, in Princeton.

Energy Charter Treaty
India's new BIT and arbitration law send mixed signals to foreign investors
Lexology | 19 January 2016
by Jonathan T. Stoel and Michael Jacobson
On December 28, 2015, the Government of India released the text for its revised model Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT). In this release, the Government of India also announced that the Department of Economic Affairs will be leading all negotiations on BITs and investment chapters of trade agreements to ensure continuity between trade and investment issues.
One recent trend in global investment treaty policy is that the major world economies have carved out divergent approaches to investment treaty-making. The United States' approach in the 2012 United States Model BIT is generally reflected in the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) investment chapter. The European Union's proposal in the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment (TTIP) investment chapter negotiations takes its own approach by suggesting an international investment court to replace investor-State arbitration, among a number of additional innovations. Though negotiating with similar treaty-making partners as the United States, China's approach has yielded different treaty terms than the recently-released TPP text; this can be seen in China's recently-concluded agreements with Canada and Australia. On the other hand, Brazil and South Africa have avoided ratification of BITs in recent years.
India's new model BIT text follows the trend of divergent approaches to investment treaty-making by focusing on a more defensive-minded strategy than in its prior treaties. This shift likely stems from the 2011 White Industries Australia Limited v. The Republic of India award against India and two tax-related cases brought against India in 2014 by Vodafone and Nokia. Some examples of India's more defensive-minded approach can be seen in the following provisions of the new model BIT:
There is no explicit reference made to the Fair & Equitable Treatment standard, which is the most commonly invoked standard of protection in investment treaty disputes. Instead, the model BIT protects against "measures which constitute a violation of customary international law" through a closed list which includes: denial of justice, fundamental breach of due process, targeted discrimination, and manifestly abusive treatment. An investor may not bring investor-State arbitration until it had exhausted local remedies, or until five years have passed in pursuit of the exhaustion of local remedies. The definition of "investment" incorporates a test akin to the Salini factors which have been applied by some investment treaty tribunals. Further, the model BIT text requires that a qualifying investment have certain fundamental characteristics. Additionally, a number of types of investment are explicitly excluded from the definition of a qualifying investment, including portfolio investments. The BIT protections apply to measures taken by national, state, and union territory governments, but do not apply to local governments. The BIT's protections do not apply to tax laws or measures taken to enforce tax obligations. The text explicitly excludes treaty protection for pre-investment activities related to the establishment, acquisition, or expansion of any investment. The BIT contains a broad denial of benefits clause, excluding the benefits of the BIT provided to investments or investors (1) owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by persons of that State or a non-Party and (2) that have been established or restructured with the primary purpose of gaining access to the BIT's dispute mechanisms. The model BIT includes General Exceptions, such as those contained in GATT Article XX related to public morals and public order, health, compliance with laws and regulations, the environment, and cultural preservation.
Several of the model BIT's clauses are more investor-friendly than those in the previous draft issued in March 2015. For example, the prior draft requires investors to hold majority-ownership or control to qualify for protection and allows for India, or its treaty partner, to bring counter-claims against investors.
In addition, India's new arbitration law entered into force on December 31, 2015. This new law, which applies only to future cases absent the disputing parties' agreement, seeks to attract more investment to India and facilitates more efficient and effective dispute settlement in India.
The new model BIT and arbitration law send mixed signals to foreign investors in India. The model BIT would narrow certain treaty-based protections, while the new arbitration law aims to make India a more desirable location for foreign investment. Thus, multinational companies will need to reassess their understanding of India's risk profile. At the same time, the new model BIT is just that – a model – and it remains to be seen how India's future investment treaties will be negotiated.

Also known as "1-to-5", "Alphabet", or "Dotted" marking paper, alpha-numeric paper is like plotter paper which has been printed with a grid of light blue numbers and/or letters and/or dots spacedone inch apart which make it easy to line up pattern pieces straight for tracing outlines. The paper is also thin enough that you can see through it to trace a pattern lying below it. It is often laid right on top of the fabric spread and cut right along with the fabric. It is too thin for most people to use for making master pattern pieces, as the edges are not rigid enough to trace around.

Q: What does "long read" mean?
Meanwhile, Karen Pence "wouldn't so much as say hello to Trump," Michael Lewis, the author of "Moneyball" and "The Big Short," wrote in a Guardian long read based on several interviews with Trump insiders and published Thursday.

I guess "long read" just refers to something that takes long time to read. But I'm not sure if it's accurate.
I know the word meaning of 'read'. What I am unsure is if the phrase "long read" is a set/idiom, which I am not aware of. That's the reason why I asked. If it just means the sense of its literal meaning, then it's fine. I just want to get it accurately.
The full source.

A: "Read" as a noun refers to something you read, a reading material such as a book, newspaper, article. "A long read" is idiomatic, and so are a couple other noun phrases of "read":

That book is such a page turner. It is an interesting read/a good read/a must read.

As you can easily guess, "an interesting read" is something that is interesting to read; "a good read" is a good book/paper etc.; "a must read" is something recommended to you highly.

Q: Using Backbone Fetch Success Callback to Change Data Before Initializing View I'm looking for a way to intercept the value returned from a server when I fetch a backbone model (a collection, strictly speaking) from the server, then modify it before continuing. I would think that I could do something like this
SessionController.prototype._initPages = function() {
    return App.pages.fetch({
      reset: true,
      success: function(model, response, options) {
         //modify the contents of response
      }
};

And my modifications would be reflected in the model that's used to initialize the view.
However I was looking at the backbone source and I think I may have misunderstood something.
fetch: function(options) {
  options = options ? _.clone(options) : {};
  if (options.parse === void 0) options.parse = true;
  var success = options.success;
  var collection = this;
  options.success = function(resp) {
    var method = options.reset ? 'reset' : 'set';
    collection[method](resp, options);                 //this line updates the model
    if (success) success(collection, resp, options);   // my success callback
    collection.trigger('sync', collection, resp, options);
  };
  wrapError(this, options);
  return this.sync('read', this, options);
}

For my needs, it seems the two commented lines need to be switched, though I assume I'm just misunderstanding how to use this feature.
How can I modify the server response before it becomes my model?

A: I think you could just override the parse function to modify your data as needed

How to prepare yourself for first week university?
Early Monday afternoon, the Brock University Faculty Association issued a public letter to President Gervan Fearon regarding termination of staff members' and human resource practices.
The letter was issued by Michelle Webber, President of BUFA. It begins by stating that the faculty was copied on a memo sent to Fearon regarding the termination of a staff member in the Department of Psychology. It continues to state that this is not the first time BUFA has heard of these concerns from its members and that Brock University Retirement Association has previously met with Fearon regarding similar problems.
BUFA is the university's faculty union, certified under the Labour Relations Act of the Province of Ontario.
The letter states that the issues regarding employment dismissal at Brock began in 2014, whereas prior to, the university was known as a place to enjoy work and people would refer to the university as a "family" or "community".
BUFA's concern expands to the reputation of Brock that have begun circulating, in which staff members who are dismissed are walked to their cars by campus security and that the privacy of email is not respected by administrators.
When a staff member is terminated, they must leave immediately without being allowed to finish jobs that are in the midst of being completed and are unable to say goodbye to their coworkers.
When a position is eliminated by a layoff (to reduce the number of positions for financial reasons) it's later posted as an opening and a new person is hired. The letter also allegedly states that the positions are being filled by people who reside in the Niagara Region, which causes concern.
BUFA claims that age could also be a factor, as those who are let go are significantly older than the new hires. The Faculty says it does not know if this is true, but "the perception that it is true contributes to a belief that employees will be discarded when they inconveniently cost Brock more".
Recently, new staff or those given promotions/new job descriptions, are given a mandatory multi-page form to sign, in which a section says that they waive their right to negotiate or pursue through the courts a better severance package than what is set out in the Employment Standards Act.
BUFA claims, although no concrete numbers are available, that there has been an increase in sick leave since 2014.
With a handful of layoffs and changes within departments, some employees are uncertain who they need to contact when trying to help a student with a problem.
BUFA issued this letter to allow Fearon and Brock Administration know that the union is troubled about the university's current direction. The union has also been informed by a former Brock employee that an interviewer told them that no explanation was needed regarding their dismissal at Brock because the university is now known to terminate employees.
The letter proceeds to ask about the costs that come with firing an employee, from severance packages, lawyers and the posting/hiring of a replacement.
BUFA does not put HR employees at fault here, but rather the instructions by senior administration.
In November 2017, Brock was ranked in the top-15 for employers in the Hamilton-Niagara area – a competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This was the second consecutive year Brock was ranked in the top-15.
In an e-mail response from Fearon's office when asked for a statement, The Brock Press was informed that the President was not on campus on Monday and was unavailable for a comment.
The letter closes by stating, "BUFA recognizes that administration has management rights, but we suggest that changing HR practices would allow us to gradually rebuild trust and employee loyalty".
I am one of the employees who have been through the process, life is in fact better after Brock under the current management.
It is mind blowing that the AVP if Brock's ITS has no experience managing anything prior to his arrival at Brock yet he was immediately given a senior level position. LinkedIn clearly provides that evidence.
The current employment practices also put into question how Brock finds itself on the list of top 100 employers. Clearly the 120++ employees who have been terminated over the past three years were not allowed to provide input.

Steamed rice is a staple food for almost any Japanese meal and is considered the primary source of food in Japan. In fact, the name Gohan literally means "meal" and no Japanese meal is complete without it. All you really need is a heavy-based saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Japanese rice is always short grain and usually polished white rice (hakumai) as opposed to the less attractive unpolished brown rice (gemmai). Names to look out for when purchasing rice for Gohan are "Japanese rice", sushi rice, "Calrose" short grain rice or "Japonica". Do not get confused with Jasponica - which is a blend of fragrant Thai Jasmine.
It is important to wash and rinse the rice in cold water before cooking. The amount of water to cook Japanese rice is basically a little more than the amount of rice. The right amount of water to cook Japanese rice vary, depending on kinds and freshness of rice. If you are cooking rice in a rice cooker, please add water to the line indicated on the inner pot.
Traditionally the Gohan is brought to the table in a tub made of cedar and dished to each individual's bowl with a wooden rice paddle. The rice is meant to become a little sticky when cooked which makes it easier to collect with the finely pointed Japanese style of chopsticks.
Put the rice in a large bowl and wash it with cold water. Repeat washing until the water becomes almost clear.
Drain the rice in a colander and set aside for 30 minutes.
Cook the rice using either a rice cooker or a pot.
If using the rice cooker, place the rice in the cooker and add water. Let the rice soak in the water for at least 30 minutes to an hour. An hour is ideal.
Stop the heat and let it steam for about 15 minutes before opening the lid.
Fluff the rice with rice spatula and serve into individual rice bowls.
If you are cooking rice in a pot, put rice and water in the pot. Let the rice soak in the water for at least 30 minutes to an hour. An hour is ideal.
Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil on high heat. Turn the heat down to low and cook about 20 minutes, or until the water is almost gone.

Pennsylvania GOP Denied--Without Input From Justice Amy
You can read the decision here. It's a short statement that the expedited petition for certiorari is denied. That means that the petition itself could be accepted at a later date--presumably with Justice Amy participating. She didn't participate today because she didn't have time to read the briefs:
The motion to expedite consideration of the petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE BARRETT took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion.
Justice Alito--joined by Thomas, and Gorsuch--made it pretty clear that they were unhappy with Roberts' hijacking of this case, by issuing a "statement." Kavanaugh didn't join the statement.
Statement of JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS and JUSTICE GORSUCH join.
The Court's handling of the important constitutional issue raised by this matter has needlessly created conditions that could lead to serious post-election problems. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has issued a decree that squarely alters an important statutory provision enacted by the Pennsylvania Legislature pursuant to its authority under the Constitution of the United States to make rules governing the conduct of elections for federal office.
It would be highly desirable to issue a ruling on the constitutionality of the State Supreme Court's decision before the election. That question has national importance, and there is a strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution. The provisions of the Federal Constitution conferring on state legislatures, not state courts, the authority to make rules governing federal elections would be meaningless if a state court could override the rules adopted by the legislature simply by claiming that a state constitutional provision gave the courts the authority to make whatever rules it thought appropriate for the conduct of a fair election.
That does not mean, however, that the state court decision must escape our review. Although the Court denies the motion to expedite, the petition for certiorari remains before us, and if it is granted, the case can then be decided under a shortened schedule. In addition, the Court's denial of the motion to expedite is not a denial of a request for this Court to order that ballots received after election day be segregated ...
And, in fact, those ballots are being segregated. Justice Amy will have a chance to participate in deciding whether to accept the petition on a non-expedited basis.

"Maybe it's just me, but it appears to me that Roberts is sacrificing good will in a shortsighted manner with this behavior."
The question is WHY?
Is Roberts really the horse's rearend as some have suspected?
Is he a Never-Trumper?
Or does he see the Thomas Court in his rearview mirror?
In any event, it's not the behavior that I would expect from the CJ.
TexasDude October 28, 2020 at 7:25 PM
I have been charitable towards Roberts because it made some sort of sense he was about trying to the Supreme Court above the fray all the while it was in it.
It appears, though, that Roberts is saying he is one thing, but his actions tell that he is something else. Yes, I am saying Roberts is a liberal ideologue more than a non-partisan as he portrays himself to be.
Even this, though, doesn't fully account for his views as evidenced by his alignments on cases.

No reason for saying this, but is there any reason why the Chief Justice wants a Biden Presidency?

People like to get into this whole blackmail, "RINO", super secret hidden closet conspiracy stuff when really all you need to do is step back and look at the big picture.
The Republican party went globalist, war and progressive expansion during the H.W. Bush years and never looked back. They are the DNC², when in the majority they bumble and stumble around, when in the minority they scream indignity while always selling those few needed votes and not actually fighting back.
They loathe Trump and america first policy!!!

""USPS personnel are instructed to perform late and extra trips to the maximum extent necessary to increase on-time mail deliveries, particularly for Election Mail," Sullivan wrote. "To be clear, late and extra trips should be performed to the same or greater degree than they were performed prior to July 2020 when doing so would increase on-time mail deliveries.
The judge further instructed the Postal Service to send him daily updates on the number of extra and late trips occurring every day at national, regional and local levels, in addition to information about on-time deliveries."
Judge is so awesome! He gets to run everything!
Trump should just fire everyone and let the Judge handle it all, including covering, out of his pay, all the over-time etc. that this will entail for an agency that's already billions in the red. Who needs an Executive or Legislature when the Judiciary apparently issues magic wands with their robes, just like Harry Potter.

Roberts has to be replaced as Chief Justice. He is obviously nothing more than a shill for the Left in his court sidings. Time and again he has taken a position to distort the words of the Constitution, or participate in legislating from the bench in favor of the Left.
The only way a Chief Justice can be removed is by impeachment. The President cannot remove him.
I'd settle for Sullivan's impeachment.


The Lyoness Business Team from Bludenz are jointly supporting the building of an orphanage in Andra Pradesh in India. They also held a Christmas collection in aid of the orphans.
Lyoness employees in Austria (Lyoness Management GmbH, Austria GmbH, Dataservice, eBiz) and Santa Claus visited the integrative elementary school "Hirtenkloster" in Graz.

A big part of the Lyoness Sensation in Bratislava was dedicated to the Lyoness Child & Family Foundation. CEO Hubert Freidl and Nina Passegger, Director of the Foundation, presented various charity projects, such as the custom made Harley Davidson Fat Boy and the music project, "The Miracle of Lyoness".
Now it is proven: Lyoness is always reliable!
Lyoness has successfully achieved the ISO Certification ISO 9001:2008. As announced by the CEO Hubert Freidl during the Lyoness Sensation, the certification shows that Lyoness has an excellent quality management and uniform process structure in all departments. For the customers, this means a quicker and better service through structured processes.
The Lyoness Child & Family Foundation lays the foundation stone for the first "Escuela Lyoness" in La Ceiba, Honduras.


American beverage research specialists, Canadean have written a report about Slovakia's beer market. The 94 page article analyzes the country's brands, brewers, packaging, distribution, pricing, and more. It found that the popularity of the lower alcohol beer mixes, such as lemon radlers, are rising. The report attributes this to a change in the Slovak lifestyle. Large corporate businesses establishing themselves in the country has left the Slovak's busier than ever. This new hectic lifestyle calls for convenience, and produces a more money-conscious worker. Because lower alcohol beers are cheaper and don't inebriate one as much, they are becoming a popular beverage option. It also reports that women and young people are the main drinkers of this new beer blend. Young people, because they like to try new things. Women, because traditional beer isn't to their taste.
To read the full report you can go here and pay over $6000 for it… Or you can hug and kiss some poisonous snakes… Or even worse, you can drink a fruit infused beer. Bleh!

Located between Nice and Cannes on the Cote d'Azur, Antibes is a famous resort on the French Riviera. With 25 km of coastline and one of the largest yacht marinas on the Cote d'Azur, it is perhaps no surprise that visitors flock to Antibes for their holidays.
Aside from the marina and beaches, Antibes has a number of art and history museums, a quaint historical town centre, and in July each year the Jazz in Juan International Jazz Festival is held, bringing jazz stars to the town.
The Napoleonic Museum is situated near the site of an ancient coastal fortification, close to the beach where Napoleon landed on 1st March 1815. The museum houses a fine collection of paintings, sculptures, and relics from the Napoleonic era, with some of the highlights being a bust of Napoleon and a statue of him on horseback.
The Picasso Museum is built on the site of the ancient Greek town of Acropolis, which later became the medieval Chateau Grimaldi. It houses a number of the artist's works produced during his year-long stay in Antibes.
The Archaeology Museum is located in a military fortification that overlooks the sea, and from its terrace offers visitors panoramic views of the old town and the bay. It has a large collection of exhibits detailing the history of the town in Greek and Roman times.
Fort Carré is built on a rock 26 metres above sea level, and before becoming a military fortification in medieval times, it was the site of a Roman temple dedicated to Mercury and later one of the first churches to be built in Antibes, Saint Michael's Church. The fort's gardens are a haven for a natural ecosystem of Mediterranean plant and animal species. Also worth a visit is Villa Eilenroc, built 30 metres above sea level and with spectacular views of the bay area. Its gardens house many Mediterranean plant varieties, and there is an eco-museum for visitors to wander around. Antibes is best known for its beaches, and there are a number of sand, pebble, and gravel beaches in the area, with a good selection of watersports on offer.
There is a weekly town market that sells mostly second-hand goods. The Port Vauban market takes place annually and offers a selection of antiques. The town centre also has a number of boutiques that are particularly good for clothes shopping.
Nightlife and Eating Out
It is no surprise that Antibes has a high standard of seafood on offer, and one of the best restaurants is Café des Chineurs, which is frequented by both locals and tourists. For regional Provencal food, Le Jardin and La Table Ronde come recommended. International cuisine is also available, and L'Ancre de China for Oriental food and Le Brulot Pasta for Italian food are well worth a try.
The Boulevard d'Aguillon is the main bar street in town situated right on the coast, and becomes very busy in the summertime. In the town centre under a shop there is a Napoleonic-style absinthe bar that has remained untouched since the late 19th century; absinthe is a powerful liqueur produced from herbal extracts, and is not for the faint hearted.
Tourism Office, 11 Place de Gaulle, 06600 Antibes

The closest international airport is Nice, which is served by a number of international and domestic airlines, both regular and low-cost. From Nice airport, a bus to Antibes will take around 45 minutes.

EFFing Portland
What to See (and Why to See It) at Portland's Experimental Film Festival
by Matt Stangel
PORTLAND IS HOME to a handful of great film, art, and music festivals—but there's nothing quite like Experimental Film Festival Portland.
"Our goal is to connect Portland to the greater landscape of experimental practices," says festival co-director Hannah Piper Burns, "and make Portland a destination for visiting makers."
For those taking part, EFF feels like an artsy and daring international summer camp—one with way too much booze, a ton of fucked-up film and contemporary art, and an overwhelming sense of camaraderie. It's a perfect storm of high-quality content, A-plus community, and accessibility. And where events like PICA's Time-Based Art Festival can be hit or miss for the non-art nerd, and where Disjecta's Portland Biennial sprawls over months and miles, EFF is digestible and accessible—and a consistently good time.
Sound like fun? Good. Here are our picks for the fest's day-by-day highlights.
Wednesday, May 28—Things kick off with "The Parade," a high-energy screening of shorts at the Hollywood Theatre. The program opens with '60s-era live-action Batman being eaten by a rubber shark and ends with a fashionable Brazilian woman tossing oversized letters into a landfill, then hacking up pieces of old carnival attractions. Other highlights include, but are not limited to: falling soccer players framed as sniper victims, intimate conversations conducted in online gaming environments, and a naked fat guy holding a limp teddy bear. Then there's an afterparty, where you can try to make sense of everything you just saw!
"The Parade" at the Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 7 pm, $7; afterparty at Alhambra Theatre, 4811 SE Hawthorne, free
Thursday, May 29—Thursday is about unveiling the festival's art installations and performances, as well as debuting the bracket-style EFFPortland Throwdown competition—in which coaches (curators) select fighters (artists and filmmakers), who will be be judged by visiting artists in a head-to-head battle of moving pictures. Look out for performances by the likes of installation and audiovisual duo Future Death Toll, installed film experiments by local artists Stephen Slappe and Jodie Cavalier (as well as a cast of visiting contributors selected by Burns), and music from William Ingrid and Consumer.
Disjecta, 8371 N Interstate, 6 pm, free
Friday, May 30—EFF camps out at Clinton Street Theater. Show up for the hour-long "Tilt-a-Whirl"—a showcase of "rando" films that are gleefully uncategorizable—then stay for the local showcase, not to mention the desperate hookup attempts that'll ensue after the sexy-stuff screening "The Sideshow." I'm most enthused for the local showcase: Lori Damiano's inventive animated story of a growing woman's quest for enlightenment is tempered by Quathi Hart's Charlie Foxtrot, a piece that peels the scabs off of women's experiences in the US military. On the lighter side, cupcakes are excreted from a horse's tummy in Dylan Jones' Worst Existence. And back to the sads: In John Summerson's Road Trip, we see what happens when a hypothetical game of "What if I were killed tomorrow by a Greyhound bus?" is answered in gruesome detail.
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton, "Tilt-a-Whirl" at 6 pm; "The Rose Show: A Local Showcase" and the First Annual EFFPortland Throwdown Semifinal Round at 7:30 pm; "The Sideshow" at 10 pm, individual tickets are $7, two for $12, three for $15 (just like hits of acid in the parking lot of a Phish show!)
Saturday, May 31—Barring tonight's afterparty at the Lovecraft, Saturday also revolves around the Clinton. While the afternoon starts with the family-friendly "Must Be This High to Ride" showcase, and the evening boasts the "Fireworks: Best of 2014" program, it was in the afternoon's programs, "House of Mirrors" and "The Carnie's Picks," where I found my favorites. "House of Mirrors" is a must-go, as it includes Charles Gibson's The Meteor (a fucking great series of monologues about getting superpowers after a meteor takes out Kansas), Derek Howard's Doctor Korbes (which is shot through a peephole in an apartment building, and chronicles the everyday life of an eccentric old man who courts hookers, dodges visitors, and loses his shit at his neighbors), and Indian filmmaker Nishant Sharma's Phansa Pani, which occurs in a flooding bathroom—it's genius in its capacity for magical catharsis.
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton, "Must Be This High to Ride" at 1 pm; "House of Mirrors" at 3 pm; "The Carnie's Picks" at 5 pm; "Fireworks: Best of 2014" and EFFPortland Throwdown Final Round at 7:30 pm, single tickets $7, two for $12, three for $15, four for $18; afterparty at the Lovecraft, 421 SE Grand, free
Sunday, June 1—EFF wraps up with a series of guest-curated programs: Cinema Project will show a program of German work (1:30 pm), followed at 3:30 pm by a collection of "films made by natural processes" (curated by Julie Perini and Caryn Cline), after which "Black Radical Imagination," an Afrofuturist presentation by Amir George and Erin Christovale, will mark the final screening of the fest at 5:30 pm. After the screenings, EFFPortland Throwdown winners will be announced at Disjecta, and everyone will pass a candle and share a memory.
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton, $7-8; Disjecta, 8371 N Interstate, 6 pm, free
DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS: An earlier version of this story stated that Jodie Cavalier curated the installed film experiments at Disjecta. The actual curator is EFF co-director Hannah Piper Burns.

So no need to fillet the objects's edges before Export / Importation!
Valuable of course for rendering and not as true geometry 3D!
I agree that this would be a nice add on. I note that keyshot have it. On the model there is an option to add a 'virtual' edge break. It just makes the render look a bit more real as in reality there is no such thing as a perfectly sharp edge. Just something to think about, might be easy to do.
Loving the software, keep up the good work.
