Is there room for God in science? The answer is YES, God is the foundation of all of science. This is one of the most powerful documentaries I have seen to date and shows that there are scientists on both sides of the argument.
This film will blow you away and prove the existence God using science. Watch it for yourself and you will see that atheist scientists like Richard "Sneaky F***er" Dawkins and Steven "Hotwheels" Hawkins use their own logic against themselves and try to bend the rules of science to disprove the Almighty.

A little place for stories. I wrote this one as part of the Luminate Festival and performed it at a recent open mic night. Based on family tales. I hope you like it.
An Island Tale. A romance.
Once upon a time a young man lived in a city in the centre of a large ragged island. Now this island was surrounded by smaller islands and these little ones could in (their) turn look beyond themselves and see smaller islands still, smaller and smaller until the islands became rocks on the shore. Though rocks on the shore are only islands at high tide when the sea swirls in, (but islands they become.) Waiting for the unwary. A doomed sailor or a stubbed toe.
But here I am stretching far from my subject like the seashore. I was telling you about the young man. A fine strong young man he was. So that when the war came, as wars do, he went away to fight. (As young men do.)
Our young man was a lucky young man and he came back from the war. But machines had stretched his city so it ranged up the hills and the sheep were rolled into bales in the market hall. Everywhere was the noise and the clamour of looms and forges, dust and bustle, noise and fire and dirt. But didn't I tell you that this was a lucky young man? For he was able to find one of those small islands and settle where the scratch and swish of the sea on the shore could bring him peace , and he grew strong again on the salt and the tide.
So strong in fact that he could return to his city and raise his eyes above the smoke for a place to put roots. And though the hillside can be harsh and cold, his roots held and a family grew.
So our young man is happy, not quite so young now, counting round the seasons on the hill.
And back on the island? The seasons turn there too. A little cottage missing voices to bind its rafters grows creaky and stiff. But islands are sirens and this one calls in more young folk.
This time two young people meet, and they are masters of numbers. While the young woman chalks hers onto walls, the young man conjures his into metal and paper, sorts and keeps them safe, sends them out into the world. Their own numbers add up, and multiply then send themselves out into the world, teachers, doctors, soldier, s….singer. Not sailor? Well…….
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Lets stop for a moment and think about islands. Floating on the tides, washing in, washing out; tides bearing people and goods. In and out, across and back, warp and weft. People, cloth, sheep and stories. Families split, families form. The twine unravels and knots again. The story changes, the story grows.
And so it was. Our young woman had been washed from her island, out to the city and back again, to other shores and other ties, she found her young man, made her family. And not alone. Her brothers, like so many others, did the same, out from their island to the city. And like the earth with the moon which drags the tides, the big island draws things and people in. But the outward tide washes them back, though not always to the same shore.
Why am I telling you this, all the warp and the weft and the sea and the shore? Well, do you remember that first young man? Where did we leave him? Not out on his island finding peace in his cottage? He was back in the centre, rooted well up on the hill with the city clattering and spooling below. A child grows, becomes a woman; called bride, mother, widow. Another little girl grows up, up in the hills, far from the sea. But one day a sailor catches her eye. A sailor whose father, had a sister. A sister who sailed from her island right down to the city, then back to an island where she chalked on the walls and met a young man, a master of numbers who lived in a cottage.
A cottage on an island where a young man now an old man, a grandad, found peace.

Stargate RPG General
Marine vs air force and space currency
By chpexplorer
August 11, 2020 in Game Development
chpexplorer
Are marines going to be a thing in the game because sg1 was air force but there were several us marine teams most notably sg3 and if marines are in the game will there be any difference between them and the air force. More combat abilities over say the abilty to fly or something like that. Lastly is there going to be some sort of space currency so that you can say trick out your room in game with stuff from earth or off world you can buy.
Deriachai
One of my players is playing a Marine, and while it would have made sense to change the pilot skill out, we didn't
Basically just ends up being a RP element
Erich P
I am of a similar mind set, its a RP thing, and the GM can align with the player to remove Pilot and replace with a different skill set as the situation requires.

I don't think that stargate ever introduced any form of currency including worlds that were advanced enough to make its development an absolute certainty.Most worlds were still in barter phases of trade, I think the closest they came to touching on it was when they found an outpost with a holigraphic display in ancient/asgard/1-2 others that showed all the known elements plus a few more that they figured was used in trade between those civilizations in the episode Torment of Tantalus
Edit: With that said it's probably a good idea to introduce some form of currency, probably by tech level. A TL 0/1 civilization probably doesn't have as much vlue for naquadah or advanced metal alloys but puts a lot of value in bags of grain (ie corn/wheat/barley/rice/flour/etc) while a stable TL2/3++ civ is likely able to source their own staple foods like grains but has a lot of use for raw materials & rare elements. That sort of table might be useful for conversion of trade goods between civs.
Edited August 11, 2020 by tetrasodium
I see. But i still feel like there should be some form of currency to buy stuff from say the lucian alliance or other cultures and people. That way you can have the really cool insert here bed or computer or movie in your room or maybe buy a place to stay in town how do you pay for the inn thats just the reason i ask
Edited August 11, 2020 by chpexplorer
Well i hope they manage to throw something in there it might help the game a little.

I've only run about three episodes of a homebrew campaign, but on the few occasions trade has come up, I've usually used bars of Naquadah for pretty much this exact reason. Also 'cause in Vala's first episode in S8 she's trading the Prometheus for a crate of it. It feels like a good standard for a barter economy, not a full currency, but a mineral with a generally accepted value/use that can be obtained by a wide variety people by a wide variety of means

Yea it's not a bad currency, just there's a big difference between baking in a currency & having the gm need to make something up. If it's baked in then the players can look at a list & get a vague estimation for what some basics might cost if supply & conditions were not influencing it. It's fine to do a resources ability or something instead, just they should pick something & bake it in

I mean, I totally get why from a game function perspective - there's a reason why vanilla 5e has a currency baked in - but I personally Stargate as a show/setting doesn't have a galactic standard currency. I know there's been a lot of debate about when game mechanics beat out the setting, but this doesn't feel like one of those. Imposing a galactic standard currency to me just doesn't jive with the setting, and for the most part, all the equipment/food/rest needs that currency helps with in standard 5e are hand-waved thanks to the near endless resources of Phoenix Site in the game, and the SGC in the show.
6 minutes ago, watchcrafter said:
You misunderstand. Right now you can look at the value we place on gasoline, a bar of naquadah, various precious metals & gemstones, rare elements used in high tech production, advanced alloys , grain prices, & so forth to make a simple chart saying an average civilization of our tech level puts a value of X pounds of gems & rare metals for Y pounds of advanced alloys & has such a low value on grain that the price for Z pounds of rare elements would be measured in tons. Commodities are useful for trade because pretty much everyone needs them provided they are advanced enough to use them.
akaramis
There's also the issue that the tech levels also bake in differences in minerals extraction...
TL 0 is hands and stone, bone or bronze tools, which limits digging to relatively soft stones or in soil, and maybe 200-500 l/day
TL1, withiron tools, the rates can go to low kiloliters (kl=m³) per day per person, by drill and blast, and medium rocks.
TL2, we get up to low hundreds of m³ per day per person... mostly by machine assist.
TL3, peak current, we get high hundreds of m³ per day per person, due to better machines.
Likewise, TL0, the known extractions are mostly heat and maybe hammers.
TL1 is hammers and possibly wind or water driven hammer mills. Later on, steam mills and chemistry
TL2 is grinding machines, better chemistry, and extraction commercially viable for poorer ores
TL3 improves the grinding, chemistry, and reduced costs to extract.
A kilo of copper in a TL 0 culture is a person·month or more. TL 1 it's a week or more. TL2 it's part of a day's work TL3, it's about an hour's work or less.
A kilo of billet steel is of little value to a TL0 culture - they can't work it with their techniques. TL1 it's a couple weeks work (based upon japanese sand harvesting being 2-3 weeks for a katana; mined is faster out of the ground, but has to be converted to workable form.) TL2, it's a couple hours base labor to buy. TL3, it's still an hour's base pay for base level labor per kg. (4.5kg for US$39 for bar stock... plus shipping.) But a sword made from that steel is good for all TL's, albeit it's still measurable in personḋays in a decreasing number by TL.
Any such comparison list is going to need to account for the vast differences in extraction, preparation, and forming into the needed tool if it's going to be of use.

Like many here I say playing a USMC marine or Army's Delta Operator is more of a rp element. IE "drop that skill and choose that one instead".

There are a good number of GMs who won't be so slack about it.
I tend to be one of those.
EinherjarLucian
I don't think Naqadah is going to be a major trade item since it can be used for weapons, but Trinium and other less-weaponizable elements and alloys for sure.
You also don't have to assume that every service member in the SGC is going to be a Soldier class. You're likely to see military service members in all six of the in-game classes.

As an example... My group decided to be a season 1 setting, with all the PCs being USAF. We have
the captain being a Jet Jock - who served under O'Neill in 1993-1994. Soldier
the academy grad who spent his 2 years of 2nd lieutenant at NASA, first as a SR71 pilot in training, then at the Antarctic Mars Simulation. (Engineer, Artificial BG)
a Pathfinder/Special Recon SSgt, (Scout)
A medic SSgt. (Medic)
A civil service PhD geologist/geographer specializing in extreme environments biospheres. (Scientist)
Edited November 3, 2020 by akaramis
Exactly. And as you showed, not every squad member has to be a line officer. A Captain, a Lieutenant, and two SSgt's is a pretty good comp (plus the civilian).
Targalf
Back to the currency question, Season 1 Episode 3 (or 4 depending on the way you want to count them) (BD ep 3) Emancipation, the currency used there was gold coins.
Grokken
I think any military could be apt. Combat medics for the marines come from the navy so they'd be involved if the marines were. Military has in the past used their own currency in cases where they did not want to use US currency or local forms. Military Script has a pretty long history. It'd only be usable on base. I would expect that the Phoenix site and the locals would share a currency. For other worlds, barter would be the best choice. Most don't have off-world contacts and would each have a different currency, and that'd be a pain to track.

We're on ep 2, and when the PCs went out on the town I said they received US dollars to spend at the tavern or otherwise in town. SG never really dealt much with interstellar economies, so I figured DM's discretion!
On 12/26/2021 at 7:38 PM, SteveR said:
yeah, that works. I have (somewhere stored away in my house) an old mason jar that has some left over military script that my dad brought back from WW2. Next campaign I run, currently in the middle of a CoC campaign, I'll probably just go with military script and some base weight gold coins or barter goods for off-world use.
Pyremius
One advantage of an SGC script would be that the SGC can control currency conversions. All local currency must be left behind (if you're expecting to return) or converted back to SGC script before leaving. The SGC then convert script on request, based on what doesn't break the local or destination economy. If a beer at the local bar costs $5, then a team member converting $50 of script gets about 10 beer's worth of local currency for whatever planet they're on/heading to. Since the game isn't really "wormhole trader", exploiting local economies like that would be frowned upon at best (that's for the politicians to profit from, not the grunts).
I don't think the game needs a space currency. For starters, worrying about money kinda sorta goes against the spirit of the show. Like how often did the SG teams have to worry about needing money to trick out their room as you put it. If it's a matter of tricking out your room then as a GM just let them have whatever they want. It's their room on base, they won't have much stuff there to begin with and I see no good reason why a GM should be nickling and diming his players on whether or not they make enough money to afford that Milli Vanilli poster they have hanging in their locker.
Plus currency is going to vary wildly. For military personal it's super easy. You can look online right now and find out how much a PC will make based on their rank. But it's all kinda moot since they can't spend their paycheck on another planet. Most planets didn't evolve to a point where they were making use of currency. Most planets they visited worked on a barter system. Remember that episode where Valla had to track down a pendant so she could get a device off of her and Daniel? They didn't use currency. At every step it was a matter of trading goods and services.
As such, the source material makes it very clear that money isn't really a thing and it isn't really a concern SG teams have. And a barter system is best left to the GM to create because a lot of how a barter system is going to work is going to be based on the unique nature of the planet they are on. Being as how there isn't like a universal economy with trade happening from one planet to the next anything that the game could release is going to be super generic and likely vague and disappointing.
In a real general sense, I question any GM who is making their players actually pay for stuff. Just give the players what they want. So long as it's not game breaking a player should be allowed to get nick nacks and other odds and ends at no real cost. Just assume they took the necessary steps to get it. If there is something the player can't reasonably get then that sounds like an adventure seed.
Basically, there are more important things to worry about in an SG game than money. For most things its faster and easier to just let the PCs have small odds and ends instead of making them find a local shop and then having to buy it. Assume the PCs has the resources to get most normal things with no real problem. When a PC actually needs to buy something and the costs actually matter it should be a function of the adventure itself. Kinda like the episode where Vala had to track down a pendant in order to find out how to work an Ancient device. Every step of the way was a trade deal and each trade deal was very different and highly situational. Thus it was an adventure unto itself. Or if you don't want to make an adventure just turn it into a roll. Set the DC based on how rare you think the item is and then the player explains how they are going about getting the item and that will determine which Stat the roll will be based off of. If the PC is going to get the item by offering to show up once a week to teach a self defense class then they can roll their Str or Dex. If they are going to trade precious metals then they can use their Cha to represent the PC and the owner haggling over the price.
I get how our capitalist trained brains want us to track money and costs and what not but really Stargate isn't the kind of game where one should be worried about money and whether or not you have enough of it to get some random item for your room on another planet.


For all of the time we put into coming up with just the right "target-market" sort of name — you know, the one that perfectly embodies our business or product or audience and is compact, easy to say, and easy to remember (same kind of "target-market" effort that we put into our logos) — I get the feeling that we're over-thinking things.
I was reminded of this recently as I read a brief history of the Mercedes-Benz logo and learned that Mercedes was the name of the daughter of Emil Jellinek, an early company backer.
I already knew that Adobe was named not for its world-changing technology but for the creek that runs behind co-founder John Warnock's house in Silicon Valley. And that the Ford Taurus — the car that saved Ford from bankruptcy in the 1980s — was named for — say what? — the horoscope sign of two Ford executives' wives.
Samsung means "three stars" in Korean. Kodak, which means nothing, was named by founder George Eastman in part because he liked the letter K. And Pepsi was named for the digestive enzyme pepsin. That ought to haul in customers!
The takeaway here? Hold your name lightly. Dare to make it something you like. If your business/product/service is great, your audience will make the association you need. If it's not, the "correct" name (or logo) won't help you, at least not for long.

← How would you improve it?
Product naming is accepted and taught in Marketing 101 as a principle means of positioning a product. The smaller the niche, the tighter the name needs to be to address the buyer's motive to purchase. Consumer markets may get away with obscure, poetic or nonsensical names — but not in business-to-business, industrial, military, or scientific marketing.
Big consumer companies have money to make crazy names mean something. Small business entrepreneurs don't. They get one chance at a win. Proper naming strategy stacks the cards in their favor for faster customer understanding.
I have seen renaming with good product names save technology companies. Don't take naming lightly if you're designing for these sectors. Seriously. No one will know what your product does otherwise. Naming is also a service you can provide to your client that they will appreciate. Study up.
Yes, this is what I was thinking as well. If you've got the budget, you can take a name many people might think is awful (remember the initial reaction to the iPad name?) and make it a household name that becomes linked to the product, which then speaks for itself. In the case of the iPad, it just needed to be something short and unique.
When it's something that's going to be setting the first impression for the entire product's life, however (it doesn't develop its own reputation as most people don't encounter it regularly), it definitely helps for it to be an effective name. Although I do agree that sometimes we can over-think it, trying to find the "perfect" name. I don't think it has to be perfect, but it does need to be good.
Just like the names parents choose for their children, the names of products/companies assume their own unique identity as they grow, develop and become familiar to the public.
BTW — in your comment about "famous-name etymologies" — I think you meant "etymologies" (word origins) and not a reference to "entomologies" (branch of zoology dealing with insects). Had to mention that, or it would continue to "bug" me . . . .
Good catch! Thank you so much! Of course, now no one will know what you're talking about, because I've made the correction!
There's a difference between naming a business and naming the products/services.
John seems to be referring to business names here.
Incidentally our website at http://www.psychotactics.com was not liked. What kind of name is Psychotactics, said some folks. And it won't bode well for you.
Good article John. I always smile when I fly international and see one airline's exclusive duty-free fashion label. Seems it's just me and my brand manager friend there who knows she named the line … after her cat!


I wish the new forum good luck and happy posting. I am mainly an observer but have been known to chip in sometimes.
:)thanks for the welcome messages. Nice toothy grin myangel!!
The other (currently suspended or closed?) forum was set up by Mr & Mrs Donkin in mid-2006 when the previous long-established "Westbury Town Forum" was suspended by its owner and chief administrator Kevin Saunders. All the members and Mods of the old forum transferred across within a few days. When the older forum re-opened a few days later, it never re-gained its old level of activity and then closed permanently a few months later.
I'm not trying to close any forum down, honestly. When I heard yesterday that the other forum was "closing down" I knew not for how long, so I threw this together. Now I find several other people have been banned due to the other forums editorial policies, which makes me think I might as well leave this one open for anyone who wants to visit. Think of this as the people's forum, rather than any individual's. We'll see how it goes I guess!
We perhaps need a couple more? Suggestions welcomed.

La basilique Notre-Dame-de-Paradis est une église catholique située à Hennebont, en France. Elle a le statut de basilique mineure.

Localisation
L'église est située dans le département français du Morbihan, sur la commune d'Hennebont.

Historique

Le projet d'une chapelle dédiée à Notre-Dame est présenté par François Michart, maréchal-ferrant, en 1513, sur la place du Paradis. La première pierre est posée en 1514 et l'église encore inachevée est consacrée le 19 juin 1524 par , suppléant du cardinal Laurent Pucci, évêque de Vannes. La chapelle sert d'église paroissiale à partir de 1590.

L'édifice, de style gothique flamboyant, se remarque par la hardiesse de son porche et la richesse de l'ornementation.

L'église est classée au titre des monuments historiques par liste de 1862, ses abords le sont par arrêté du 10 août 1939. Elle est élevée au rang de basilique mineure par le pape Pie X le 17 janvier 1913. L'église est miraculeusement épargnée par les bombardements allemands le 6 août 1944 alors qu'une grande partie de la ville est détruite.

Architecture

Mobilier

Il y cinq cloches dans la basilique, toutes fondues à la fin du  à Villedieu-les-Poêles, dont :
 Clotilde (), parrainée par Monseigneur Jean-Marie Bécel évêque de Vannes et la comtesse de Kériadec ;
 Marie (), parrainée par le comte Maxence de Polignac et pour marraine la vicomtesse Agathe-Adélaïde de Perrien ;
 Émilienne (), parrainée par Adolphe Roger Sgr de Locoyarn et Émilienne Pitel ;
 Joséphine (), parrainée par Louis Kan et Joséphine Le Gal ;
 Rosalie ().

L'orgue, qui se situe sur la tribune en fond de nef, est sans doute .
. Le buffet est l'œuvre de Jacques Boyvaux-du-Mesnil. L'orgue est transféré en 1652 dans l'église Notre-Dame par Boyvaux-du-Mesnil, qui réalise une tribune neuve pour recevoir l'instrument. Dans les années 1670, l'instrument est restauré, peut-être par Thomas Dallam, dont on sait qu'il a effectué dans la région certains chantiers avec Boyvaux-Dumesnil. Quelques jeux du style Dallam y sont alors ajoutés.

En 1854, Jules Heyer, facteur originaire de Silésie installé à Quimper depuis 1847, apporte plusieurs modifications dans la composition de l'orgue et ajoute notamment un jeu neuf. En 1956 et 1958, Paul-Marie Koenig et Jean Gobin relèvent l'orgue et effectuent des travaux sur les transmissions. Gobin électrifie, par exemple, la transmission des jeux et des claviers et remplace la console historique par une console moderne. Durant ces travaux, des tuyaux d'origine, très abîmés, sont remplacés par des tuyaux neufs. Ces tuyaux anciens seraient toujours conservés dans la basilique. En 1997, un nouveau relevage est assuré par la manufacture bretonne d'orgues de Nicolas Toussaint (Nantes). La partie instrumentale et le buffet de l'orgue sont classés au titre des monuments historiques respectivement le  et le , notamment en raison de la présence de  anciens de 1642 et d'un jeu de Jules Heyer.

The 36-year-old Wheadon, from Milnerton in Cape Town, settled a score by overturning a defeat he suffered to Rudi van Niekerk in the Londt Park Open this year with a 3-0 result in the final.
Since the tournament was revived in 2012, the lefthander has dominated the proceedings and added a sixth straight title to his collection on Sunday.
The top eight men were divided into two pools, with Wheadon and Van Niekerk ending comfortably on top to qualify for the final.
Goosen has also been a regular winner of the title and she went through the women's section unbeaten to be crowned the champion again.
The top four women also played in a round-robin format. Jacqui Ryder and Bianca Brown both took games off Goosen, but got no further than that.
Ryder beat Brown and Janet Byrnes to finish second. NMMU's Brown finished third after defeating Byrnes.
Tournament organiser Sarah O'Grady said they were delighted with how the tournament unfolded after receiving 40 entries.
"We divided the players into three men's sections and two women's divisions and we were very happy with the number of competitive matches we had over the weekend," she said.
Although they did not have a title sponsor, O'Grady said the committee had done much work to ensure an attractive line-up of prizes.

Part 1: Garcetti Said That L.A.'s Hand-Washing Stations For The Homeless Were Regularly Refilled, Records Obtained Show Otherwise
Los Angeles Homelessness, LA Hand-Washing Stations, LA Hygiene Services
By Lexis-Olivier Ray
This is the first investigative article that was produced by Lexis-Olivier Ray as a project for the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism's 2020 Data Fellowship.

Part 6: AS OMNICRON VARIANT EMERGES, ISSUES WITH PORTA-POTTIES AND SINKS FOR HOMELESS PERSIST DESPITE L.A.'S INTENT TO DO BETTER
L.A. TACO
Last year in early April, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti made a bold claim in response to criticism from homeless advocacy groups and a federal judge that said hand-washing stations rolled out to encampments in response to the early pandemic took too long to hit the streets and when they finally did, they weren't being properly maintained.
"We have talked to the folks that are our vendors and instead of being checked once a week, [hand-washing stations] will now be checked daily."
"That will begin tomorrow," Garcetti promised.
On the streets, not much changed though. On the day of Garcetti's announcement, L.A. TACO assessed a hand-washing station in Westlake, one of the city's most densely populated neighborhoods, where more than 1,800 unhoused residents live.
An empty can of pineapple juice rested near where one of two soap dispensers should have been and there were no paper towels. Only a trickle of water dripped from the plastic faucets.
A week later, the can of juice was replaced by the remnants of a half-eaten ice cream cone. One of the soap dispensers was still missing, the other one was empty, the paper towels hadn't been replenished and it seemed like the water was a few pumps away from going dry.
LA promised hygiene services for encampments in light of the pandemic. They placed some—not nearly enough—handwashing stations and porta-potties around the city. Today numerous folks reported that the porta potties are overflowing with sewage. They are never serviced.
— Miguillotine (@mcamnitzer) April 14, 2020
All over the city, community members found hand-washing stations in similar conditions. The units were so unreliable that advocacy groups began building and distributing their own stations made out of plastic trash cans and two-gallon water jugs.
Early on, hand-washing was identified by local health officials and the Center For Disease Control as one of the most effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19.
Despite widespread criticism, in the eyes of the Los Angeles Sanitation Department (LASAN), the city agency responsible for assessing soap, water, and paper towel levels at hygiene stations, there were no issues with the units.
"The handwash stations are assessed daily to ensure they are working properly and have the necessary equipment and supplies to provide service to the unsheltered population," LASAN said in an April 23 report back to the Los Angeles City Council last year. The report made no mention of the unusable stations and instead applauded the department's efforts to quickly respond to the pandemic.
During our reporting, we received conflicting responses from the sanitation department regarding their role in assessing hand-washing stations. Initially, LASAN spokeswoman Elena Stern told us that the department assessed hand-washing stations while they were out doing encampment cleanings and reported back to the Unified Homeless Response Center (UHRC) if they needed repairs or water refill.
A little more than a year later, Stern told us early on the department's only role in the assessment of hand-washing stations was to report back to vendors.
After L.A. TACO requested an interview with a department manager in April 2021, Stern abruptly told us: "We have no comment on the stations."
"We have nothing to do with them," Stern said.
An L.A. TACO review of more than 350 PDFs from LASAN—obtained through the California Public Records Act by citizen journalist Adrian Riskin—containing emails and internal records found that the department communicated with vendors on a daily basis between April and August last year.
And while it does not appear that LASAN ever refilled stations—according to emails—in addition to assessing units, the sanitation department also worked closely with vendors to address maintenance needs; which ranged from removing unexplained locks on porta potties to cleaning up the charred remnants of burned hand-washing stations, unchaining units so they could be moved and organizing sanitation cleanings to clear encampments in order to allow vendors to service units.
In LASAN's report back to the Los Angeles City Council, the department also mentions that they sent teams out once a week to "clean and disinfect" units at one point.
An L.A. TACO review of four months of daily spreadsheets from LASAN—also obtained through the California Public Records Act by Riskin—assessing the soap, water, and paper towel levels at hand-washing stations and portable toilets, found that there was no record of the city assessing every hand-washing unit in one day between April and August last year. On average, roughly half of the 300 or so city hand-washing stations went unassessed each day. On some days the sanitation department assessed fewer than 50 stations.
During our reporting, we inspected dozens of hand-washing stations that were missing soap dispensers and lacking soap, water, or paper towels as well as portable toilets that were unusable—sometimes over the course of multiple days.
For this three-part series, we also spoke to more than 20 unhoused residents.
While some people told us that they had positive experiences with hand-washing stations and they were well maintained, the majority said that the stations weren't serviced regularly, they didn't trust them, or they didn't know where they were. As an anonymous unhoused resident told L.A. TACO, "There are
good hand-washing stations. There are bad ones, and then there are the ugly ones."
DAYS, WEEKS, AND MONTHS WITHOUT SERVICE
Daily assessment records from LASAN show that as coronavirus cases surged during the first three months of the pandemic, the sanitation department assessed fewer hand-washing stations.
In April of last year, they assessed more than half of all hand-washing stations per day. By August, that number decreased to roughly a quarter of all hand-washing stations.
Additionally, L.A. TACO found that when they were assessed, the majority of hand-washing stations were in need of service. According to their report to the city council, LASAN maintained a "comprehensive database" to identify stations that were in need of maintenance, and vendors were reportedly notified the same day.
But in some instances, we found that hand-washing stations and portable toilets went days, weeks, and in a few cases even months without being serviced by vendors.
In one case, an internal report from LASAN shows that half of all the hand-washing stations from United Site Services (USS)—the largest provider of hygiene stations to the city—went without soap, water, and/or paper towels for five days during one week in May last year.
In an email thread from the same month between city employees and Shelley Cheney—an account manager with USS—LASAN supervisor Rene Negrete, identifies a hand-washing station on Venice Boulevard and David Blvd that reportedly hadn't been serviced in two weeks. "Our assessors reported to me today that this hand wash station at this location has not had water for the last 2 weeks and is in need of immediate service. Also, Gabriel, the homeless nearby are requesting to our assessors that the location needs two porta-potties in that area due to the amount of homeless nearby."
In another email thread between Negrete to Cheney a month later, Negrete says that a hand-washing station on Alhambra Avenue underneath an overpass in Lincoln Heights hadn't been serviced in more than a month.
"Last service date was 5/15/2020," Negrette said on June 22. According to emails from Cheney the unit was reported missing. "I have reopened the lines and requested this service be done ASAP. It will be cleaned by Wednesday at the latest." Cheney responded on that Monday.
A San Francisco Public Press investigation found that USS also failed to service hand-washing stations in a timely manner in the Bay Area. The company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Despite a paper trail of emails and other records, last August Mayor Garcetti doubled down on his earlier promise during a COVID-19 press briefing, while standing in front of a portable toilet and hand-washing station near Lincoln Park. "[Hand-washing stations] are inspected daily by our city staff," Garcetti said less than a mile away from the hand-washing station on Alhambra Ave that went nearly 40 days without being serviced."So maybe during the day, some of them run out of some equipment, and we'll be happy to try to search for more. So please let us know any of those locations. But it's radically different than it was at the beginning of the pandemic. And we're going to keep those going."
A few weeks later, the sanitation department quietly stopped keeping records of soap, water, and paper towel levels for hand-washing stations altogether, L.A. TACO discovered months later.
"Our only role early on was assessing the stations while out in the field and reporting back to the vendors (not actually servicing), but we ran out of resources to do that around August," LASAN spokeswoman Elena Stern told us in April.
Brian Swanson, an analyst with the city department that oversees vendors' contracts, told us that the contracts for hand-washing stations will expire in October of this year.
In response to questions from L.A TACO, Harrison Wollman, press secretary for Mayor Garcetti told L.A. TACO that the sanitation department's role in assessing hand-washing stations was temporary. "LASAN assessments were added to temporarily supplement the service efforts of these vendors to keep a more accurate status of these units."
Wollman put the responsibility on vendors, pointing to recent purchase orders, despite Mayor Garcetti stating that stations were inspected daily by city staff in August. "The Department of General Services contracts with vendors to ensure each unit is assessed and serviced once per day, seven days per week," Wollman said in an email. L.A. TACO reviewed a purchase order provided by Wollman showing that as of May 12, United Site Services, Andy Gump, and National Construction were all contracted to service hundreds of hand-washing stations and porta-potties seven days a week. The purchase orders show that there are roughly 20 percent fewer hand-washing stations now than there were at the start of the pandemic.
According to Wollman, there are no city employees currently assessing hand-washing stations but city staff reportedly continues to work with "the vendors as issues arise."
"It's like they don't care," Angel said standing next to a USS hand-washing station missing both of its soap dispensers, last week. "If it were their house they would."
Born and raised in East L.A., Angel told us he grew up in a home where his dad put a lot of pressure on him to excel at school and music but eventually he got wrapped up in gangs. As a result, he spent 20 years of his life in-and-out of jail and prison. After serving 12 years for robbery, he says he's been out of the system for eight years now. Six of those years he's spent living on the streets.
For the past two years, Angel has been living at an encampment on Coronado Street near Echo Park, underneath the 101 freeway. "I shouldn't even be out here," he told L.A. TACO. Angel currently works at a women's clothing store in DTLA loading boxes onto trucks. "I move some heavy stuff. At this age I don't know how I do it," the 51-year-old told us after getting his COVID-19 vaccine shot. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to save up enough money to move into an apartment.
To make up for the lack of soap at the hand-washing station on Coronado Street, he sometimes has to buy his own. He says that the unit has been missing soap for more than a month now. It's the only hand-washing station for more than two blocks. Further south, two stations managed by Santa Clarita-based Andy Gump was fully stocked with supplies and soap dispensers.
Yesterday there were over 2,700 new COVID-19 cases and over 35 deaths reported by L.A. County.
This hand-washing station on Coronado St near the 101 overpass hasn't had soap all week. A resident of an encampment nearby told me that the soap dispenser has been missing for months. pic.twitter.com/Fwb8t9Ukle
— Lexis-Olivier Ray (@ShotOn35mm) July 19, 2020
Last summer, during the fall and winter we monitored the unit on Coronado St periodically and found that it was consistently lacking soap or water. Last July, we found that the station went without soap for a least a week. An unhoused resident told us that at the time a soap dispenser had been missing for weeks.
"The restrooms, they didn't use to clean them but now they come constantly because of Spectrum," Angel said. Following our reporting last year, Spectrum TV spoke to Angel for a story in early August. At the time, he said that the hand-washing station had very little soap and no water. One of its soap dispensers was missing.
Broken soap dispensers were a common issue amongst USS portable sinks. Two weeks after Angel was interviewed by Spectrum TV, almost 70 percent of all the hand-washing stations from USS assessed by LASAN on August 22 were missing a soap dispenser, according to a spreadsheet. Days later, LASAN stopped assessing hand-washing stations.
One of Angel's neighbors, Rafael, confirmed that it's been at least a month since he remembers there being soap at the hand-washing station under the freeway overpass. The 64-year-old Cuban immigrant used to have an upholstery shop in La Puente. About six months ago he fell into homelessness and moved to DTLA before relocating to the encampment on the border of Historic Filipinotown and Echo Park. "Hopefully everything will change for the better," Rafael told us he doesn't plan on being homeless for much longer. "I'm trying to get on my feet and get on with my life."
Rafael said he gets soap from the porta-potty next to the hand-washing station, which he says he cleans himself sometimes twice per day, in addition to the vendor servicing it regularly now. "I keep it clean," Rafael tells us.
Neither Rafael nor Angel knows why the hand-washing station's soap dispensers haven't been replaced, even though the vendor comes to fill the station up with water and clean the porta-potty daily.
"I mean, it's broken, but they can fix this," Angel said, pointing towards the sink. "Some people just don't care about the homeless."

Q: Why is that d3.js pie chart transition not working? Today I'm working with d3.js on a simple pie chart.
I used the tutorials here to build my first pie chart, yet I wanted to customize it a bit, so my code won't exactly looked like the same.
My problem occured while working on Step 6, to add some interactivity to my chart.
As shown here the pie chart should allow me to click on its legend to toggle some data. Yet, if the hover tool is working with my code (toggling effectively changes the values inside the hover box), the chart itself doesn't change.
When toggling, my browser console throws that error :
d3.v3.js:5737 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'data' in undefined

After some testing, I realised the error occured because of that part of the javascript :
  var path = g.data(pie(data));

  path.transition()
     .duration(750)
     .attrTween('d', function(d) {
            var interpolate = d3.interpolate(this._current, d);
            this._current = interpolate(0);
            return function(t) {
                return arc(interpolate(t));
            };

which is the same as in the demo. So, the rest of my code might occasion that error, yet I don't know what could 'cause it.
Here is what I've done so far :

Thanks a lot for your help.
EDIT :
Link to a JSFiddle
Since I'm using a json file I'm loading locally in my app, here I had to use a local variable where my JSON was put, yet it is clearly inefficient and brought other bugs...

A: You have this._current undefined at this line var i = d3.interpolate(this._current, d); fix it and the rest is good enough. Instead of this.current try with some temp var which is accessible in any place in the code .And you would only see transition if the new data is different from the old data try with two sets of json and onClick pass the new json data.

It looks like Monte Morris' hard work is paying off.
A former Cyclone is now an NBA starter. For one night, at least.
Monte Morris got the start for the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. The former Iowa State point guard has impressed enough to supplant former lottery pick Jamal Murray as the starter against Atlanta.
Morris' 16.0 player efficiency rating outpaces Murray's 15.2 on the season. Morris is averaging nearly nine points on 43 percent shooting, four assists and less than a turnover in about 22 minutes per game. He is also hitting 40 percent of his 3-point attempts.
Since scoring 48 points against Boston on Nov. 5, Murray has not topped 16 and is averaging nearly three turnovers a game.
Denver (9-5) is on a four-game losing streak after winning nine of its first 10. The Morris effect seemed to be working early on, as the Nuggets raced out to a 13-2 lead over the Hawks (3-11).
Morris, a 6-foot-3 guard from Michigan, was drafted with the 51st pick in the 2017 draft after a sterling career for the Cyclones. The crafty guard finished fifth in the ISU program's record books, with 551 assists, and had the second-most assists in a single season, with 241. Morris, who averaged 16 points and six assists per game his senior year, also racked up 172 steals, good for eighth in program history.
Good stat: Monte Morris registered a team-high 19 points off the bench last night.


Replacement opening vent, or simply opening window kit, suitable for Halls 6ft wide greenhouse range.
If you want to add an additional opening roof vent for your 6ft wide Halls greenhouse this kit is all you need. It replaces an existing piece of 610mm x 544mm glass in the roof. If you have long pane toughened glass in the roof you will have to buy a shorter piece of toughened glass (610x610) for the section below the new vent.
Fitting them is straight forward. In essence you have to remove a panel of the existing glass (610mm x 544mm) and slide in the opening roof vent when you have screwed it together. The removed glass CANNOT be transferred into the new opening vent you will need to have a glazier cut a piece to size 600 x 544. Comprehensive installation instructions are supplied with the unit as well as a full glazing plan.
Note 1: The opening vent is not supplied with glass. Note 2: This additional roof vent will only fit the current 6ft x 4ft Halls Popular / Supreme greenhouses and not the original 6ft x 4ft models. The current 6ft x 4ft models are supplied with one roof vent as standard, the original 6ft x 4ft models are not supplied with any. It will fit ALL current 6ft wide Halls Greenhouses as the title suggests, with the sole exception of the Universal range.
I can recommend the customer service from this company. I needed an opening window for my greenhouse but didn't know the make. I emailed a photograph and very quickly got a reply telling me the maker, price and when it would be delivered. I happily placed an order and a few days later the window frame was delivered.
Bought this to retrofit to our old greenhouse [brand unknown]- I expected to have to modify it given it is specifically for a HALLS brand greenhouse. Some minor fettling and it now fits a treat. Very Happy with the result and quality of the original parts.

Challenging Myths of Masculinity
Understanding Physical Cultures
Lee F. Monaghan
Michael Atkinson
Published May 29, 2014 by Routledge

Challenging Myths of Masculinity: Understanding Physical Cultures
Book Description Author(s) Reviews
Many myths surround male bodies and associated bodywork, especially when such bodywork is labelled culturally or socially atypical or 'problematic'. Bodybuilding, for example, has been explained in terms of gender inadequacy and an 'Adonis complex' akin to reverse anorexia, while men electing to undergo aesthetic cosmetic surgery are deemed 'too concerned' about their appearance and thus woman-like. Myths also discredit men and boys who do not engage in appropriate bodywork when this is expected. For instance, amidst public health concerns surrounding a so-called 'obesity epidemic', men and boys who resist physical activity and/or attempts to promote a 'healthy weight' are deemed ignorant, apathetic and in need of correction. Drawing on extensive field research conducted in North America and Britain over a twenty year period, this book challenges such masculine myth making. Mindful of a rich sociological tradition that seeks to understand the social world as lived and experienced, the authors provide insights that are likely to challenge common perceptions of various groups of men and boys, their diverse physical cultures, shared ways of being and identities. Presenting empirically grounded understandings of diverse bodily practices and discourses including bodybuilding, cosmetic surgery, dieting and nightclub security, Challenging Myths of Masculinity will appeal to scholars of sociology, geography and cultural studies, with interests in gender, embodiment and masculinities.
Lee F. Monaghan is currently Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Limerick, Ireland. He is the author of Bodybuilding, Drugs and Risk and Men and the War on Obesity: A Sociological Study. He is the co-editor of Key Concepts in Medical Sociology and Debating Obesity: Critical Perspectives.
Michael Atkinson is Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto, Canada. He is the author of Tattooed: The Sociogenesis of a Body Art, Deconstructing Men and Masculinities and co-editor of Boys' Bodies: Speaking the Unspoken.
'From bouncers to cosmetic surgery patients to schoolboys in gym class, Challenging Myths of Masculinity addresses contemporary masculinities through an examination of the lived experiences of men and boys. In a time when many perceptions about masculinity remain anecdotal, this book questions many of these received ideas and asks the reader to reconsider practices that are too often dismissed as deficient masculinity. This book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to reconsider contemporary masculinities.' Niall Richardson, University of Sussex, UK
'By exploring the myths of masculinity, Monaghan and Atkinson are able to challenge many taken for granted assumptions that predominate within Western society about the existence of real or authentic forms of masculine expression. Their book provides a welcome contribution to a growing literature that seeks to provide counter-arguments and resistance to uncritical thinking about ways of gendered being.' Ian Wellard, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
'Monaghan and Atkinson have long been at the forefront of masculinities research. Once again they have justified their standing with this book, which synthesises the major issues associated with men, masculinities and the body into one coherent text. It is certainly a must read for any academic, researcher, or interested person in men and the body. Well done to the authors.' Murray Drummond, Flinders University, Australia
"The book is likely to be of great interest and value to policy makers, educators, psychologists and health practitioners who seek to better understand the circumstances in which men live out their embodied lives. I was particularly impressed with how insightful the analysis in each chapter is, not just challenging widely endorsed myths about the nature of masculinity, but also offering concrete understanding of, for instance, why it is that many men reject medical definitions of 'healthy' weight, or how to build a more inclusive physical education curriculum." - Dr Duane Duncan, School of Behavioural, Cognitive and Social Sciences, University of New England, New South Wales

If I am not married, am I entitled to support from my ex-partner?
If you have children together, you may be entitled to child support depending upon the custodial arrangements and your respective incomes. However, in Quebec, unmarried partners are not entitled to spousal support as was decided by the Supreme Court of Canada in Quebec (Attorney General v. A, 2013 SCC 5).
Does child support automatically end at 18 years of age?
No, the financial obligations towards your children do not end automatically when the child reaches 18 years of age. It becomes a question of whether the child is then considered to be financially independent. A child who still attends school on a full time basis will generally not be considered to be financially independent. However, there is no strict rule for any particular situation and you may wish to obtain more information regarding your circumstances.
It is also worth noting that a Judgment ordering support will remain valid until cancelled by the Court.
How is child support determined?
In most cases, child support is fixed according to the appropriate formula established under the Federal or Quebec Child Support Guidelines. Some formula modifications may apply (a) if the children are over 18 years of age, or (b) if the guideline amount creates undue hardship
How is spousal support determined?
Spousal support is determined by weighing the factors and objectives found at Article 15 of the Divorce Act. There is no fixed formula (Federal Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines do exist but are only on an indicative basis and the courts in Quebec will very often arrive at different figures). You will need to talk to a lawyer about the process of determining spousal support.
How do courts decide the custody of your children?
The Civil Code of Quebec provides that all decisions affecting a child must be made in the child's best interests not those of the parents. There is no legal presumption regarding a particular mode of custody (eg. shared custody or sole custody). The factual situation and criteria are considered and weighed by the court to fix the mode of custody.
How much will my case cost?
Every case is different and the level of animosity or complexity involved in your file will greatly influence the fees. We can provide rough approximations or ranges of anticipated costs. We provide frequent and detailed invoices and we ensure that our clients are aware of where their account stands with the firm at any point.

Growing up in a small town had more than several advantages and disadvantages. Saying that my childhood was sheltered is nothing short of an understatement. Unlocked doors, cleared streets, and the quiet of a trustworthy neighborhood were all welcomed features of my hometown. As a small child I baked cookies with the old lady down the road. I sat next to my kindergarten crush in sun day school, and literally rode my bike in the middle of the road without a care in the world. We didn't have what kids have today. We actually had to use our imaginations to have a good time. There were no smart phones, tablets, or 64s to keep us occupied. We were perfectly content to play with our stick guns and a water hose for hours on end... And I loved it! Along with my scrapes and bruises I also maintained a simple, happy for the little things attitude, and of course a great tan.
Now that I have made my childhood out to be nothing but cherries and smiles, I have to point out the disadvantages that came with the small town upbringing-- before the world of electronics took over the young mind. One word distinctively comes to mind... Boredom! As I grew into adolescence I no longer cared much for silly toys, dancing, baking, or crafts. I rebelled like many young adults do.With a sever chip on my shoulder and a lack of coordination in the sports department, I spent the majority of my time partying. Nothing too outrageous, mostly close friends,fires, and beer.
It wasn't until I was settled and married with a child on the way that I found my love for the literary world. Rearing out of my mid twenties left me a bit more mature, having to find more important things to do with my time than re-occurring nights at the bar. This is when it started - I read one book after another for a few short years, then decided to give writing a bash. I'm completely amazed at the love I developed! Once I started putting the world of imagination that has long been trapped in my overactive mind into a keyboard, the transformation of self began. A new aspiration in life has formed. I want nothing more than to be known as the unexpected novelist who took the literary world by storm!
Didi Oviatt, the author of Aggravated Momentum, developed a strong, fascinating cast of characters in this thrilling fictional work. Markie is a young single woman who has been greatly affected by the murder of her best friend, Beth. Her sister, Kam, is supportive, yet challenges her to end the grieving and get back into the world of nightclubbing and dating. As more tragedies occur in Markie's life, the fear and complications continue to build into an unforgettable crescendo. Soon, it becomes virtually impossible for Markie to trust almost anyone; even her dreams become horrible nightmares. No place, nor any person, seems safe anymore. The enthralling intrigue builds; eventually, many secrets are revealed – and the complicated killer is identified.
A page-turning, enticing thriller keeps the reader guessing, and this novel does exactly that. Aggravated Momentum is an exciting adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns and unforeseen developments. Because the characters are so interesting, the reader is engaged from the first page to the last. Ms. Oviatt's writing style is clear; scenes and characters are believable. The characters are convincingly portrayed, and one can visualize and hear the voice of each person in the story. There are some love scenes that are not too graphic and reveal the characters' personalities. In other words, there is a purpose to the love scenes, not just as an addition for the sake of sensationalism. There is an authenticity to Ms. Oviatt's writing that is refreshing to experience in a thriller-type novel.
Markie becomes the victim of a rather sick stalker in Aggravated Momentum by Didi Oviatt. The reader is immediately thrown into a situation in which she/he becomes the witness to a murder. We then get to meet Markie, whose mother had the habit of giving strange names to their kids. She has lost her best friends - also to a murder. When a female neighbor also gets murdered in the same fashion and Markie's best friend's necklace is found on her body, it becomes clear that Markie is all the victims have in common. At the same time, a new man who is a little weird turns up in Markie's life. Suddenly, Markie sees suspects everywhere and wonders who of her friends will be his next victim.
If I did not have to get up early in the morning the following day, I would have read Aggravated Momentum by Didi Oviatt in just one long sitting - but with about two hours to go, I just had to stop and continue the following day. It doesn't happen often that thrillers really grip me or surprise me. This one did. Who the bad person is becomes very clear about one third into the book. At first, I was disappointed because the reveal came so early and I thought this is it, there is nothing else interesting to come. But first of all, it was quite a shock to suddenly see everything from the point of view of the bad character - and the story was not over by a long shot. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
Aggravated Momentum by Didi Oviatt is a thriller/murder mystery set against the ordinary backdrop of an average family. Markie and Kam are sisters. As sisters, although they do not always get along, there is genuine caring between them. Kam has been dating Brock on and off for a long time and their lives revolve around friends, dating, and family as usual. However, things take a turn for the worse when there is a murder. Next on the list appears to be Markie herself. Indeed the entire family is in shock and fearful as inexplicable things begin to happen. There is real danger lurking around the corner. This is a gripping thriller of a family caught in the web of a desperate murderer as they all try to grapple with and understand the truth.
Aggravated Momentum by Didi Oviatt is a murder mystery with plenty of drama, suspense, and yes, danger. Intermingled with all this is the usual girl talk between sisters and their friends about boys, relationships, and dating which lends a very "normal" and everyday feel to the book. I thought the characters were well drawn and I found the friendships in the book to be portrayed very realistically. There is an element of fear and suspense throughout as the story is told through the words of various characters. All in all, fans of mystery and thriller genres will love this book as it moves with a fast pace towards a thrilling and gripping ending.
Aggravated Momentum by Didi Oviatt might just be one of the most chilling books you'll ever read. What a great imagination the author has. It makes you really wonder from what murderous depths did Didi Oviatt drag her twisted characters, especially the narcissistic killer and his equally narcissistic mother. Aggravated Momentum begins and ends with murder and throws in a few more between the chapters of this short, page-turning psychological thriller. The demented but clever serial killer would have the FBI profilers of Criminal Minds scratching their heads and racing the clock before he strikes again. All the victims are somehow linked to Markie, a young woman he loathes, as he sees her as the one person in his way to having the woman he loves, her sister, Kam. The killer keeps killing to drag out the punishment he believes Markie deserves to suffer before killing her too. Does he succeed? You'll have to read Aggravated Momentum to find out.
Dysfunctional families, twisted minds, sibling jealousy, blood and gore aggravate the momentum of this sinister third novel by Didi Oviatt. This story is a quick, easy read which unfolds through the viewpoints of several narrators and serves up surprising turns until almost the last page. In her bio, Didi Oviatt states that "I want nothing more than to be known as the unexpected novelist who took the literary world by storm." Well, even though the characters peopling Aggravated Momentum somewhat push the boundaries of credulity, Didi Oviatt is most certainly an unexpected novelist. Chilling thriller fans will love it.

Prince Haakon hits back over business forum
NTB/The Local - [email protected] • 9 Oct, 2014 Updated Thu 9 Oct 2014 00:04 CEST
Crown Prince Haakon believes he can be involved in the nation's business affairs after he organized a conference in Norway that faced criticism from those who urge more neutrality from the country's Royal family.
Crown Prince Haakon is holding a 2-day conference in Tromsø, North Norway at The Edge luxury hotel where business and tax politics is on the agenda.
"I just arrange the venue," said the Crown Prince, shirking his role in the event.
The Norwegian Royal has been criticised the past week for taking the initiative to organize the business conference "SIKT 2014".
Professor Trond Nordby was among the Crown Prince Haakon's strongest critics. Nordby told the newspaper Dagsavisen that it is unfortunate the Crown Prince would create a forum for a discussion on future tax politics in this way.
Speaking to the media in Tromsø on Wednesday, The Crown Prince said: "I never meant the issues brought up by my critics to become the main focus of this conference."
The Crown Prince added: "I think [the conference] will become exciting and that it will not become politically controversial. I arranged the venue and then it is for the participants to fill the space with content."
The 2-day event features seminars, Q&As and workshops on entrepreneurship, innovation and the future vision for Norway.


Seeking recommendation for dinner/tango show - not tango for export!
My aunt and uncle are coming to visit at the end of June, and I'd like to take them to an authentic/traditional tango show. Tangorama in Puerto Madero I found to be a bit cheesy and overdone, complete with a stilted rendition of the Police's "Roxanne" and strange costumes.Any suggestions? Has anyone tried Bar Sur in San Telmo, or El Querandí? We will probably have to go on a Tuesday night if that changes anything.Thanks!
" Esquina Carlos Gardel" show near the Abasto Shopping center.
Frommers writes: You'll find a more gracious experience at Esquina Carlos Gardel, Carlos Gardel 3200 (tel. 11/4876-6363), in the Abasto neighborhood where Carlos Gardel, the city's most famous tango crooner, actually lived and worked. A classical symphony accompanies the more traditional instruments in this show.
Anyone else know of others??
