Forget the Polar Bears?
Giving Compass Aug 3, 2017
When the Clean Air Act was originally passed in 1970 only one member of Congress voted against it. Today, the very idea of a bi-partisan environmental regulation legislation effort is laughable, though some still hold out hope for collaborative efforts. In the intervening years, the narrative changed. The shift in the conversation is clear — no longer is environmental regulation considered the unequivocal protection of all Americans, now there is debate over the consequences.
Opponents of environmental regulation argue that such restrictions limit businesses and therefore their ability to hire or retain workers who depend on the income the businesses provide. This is a convincing argument for those who regularly worry about job security, unemployment, feeding themselves and their families, and generally making ends meet. Having or keeping a job is absolutely vital for survival in a capitalist society. It is easy to convince people in these situations that the short-term concerns about getting or keeping gainful employment are more important than the long-term, uncertain consequences of issues like climate change. Unemployment is an immediate, tangible threat. Climate change is a vague, distant risk. This narrative alone has not been responsible for the shifting public perspective on environmental regulation.
Supporters of government action on issues like climate change have largely done a poor job of conveying the importance of mitigating the consequences. Climate concerns are often presented in terms of arctic ice and starving polar bears. While the people who promote these campaigns probably believe that they are convincing, heart-wrenching arguments, there is no denying that this approach solidifies the argument of regulation opponents: climate change has nothing to do with working-class families.
Do we agree on something? Paul Shoemakers suggests so in his most recent post.
With both sides playing into this narrative it is a small wonder that it has become a significant part of the climate conversation in the United States. This is problematic for many reasons, the most concerning is that poor and working-class individuals will be the first to suffer from climate change.
Poor communities face the brunt of environmental degradation. Middle- and upper-class families have the resources to distance themselves from hazardous environments like landfills and power plants. It is poor communities that are left to deal with the consequence of the consumption habits of the country. There is little motivation for middle- and upper-class individuals to support regulations for facilities that they will never need to live near. Middle and upper-class people are similarly able to insulate themselves from the impacts of climate change.
Various models indicate the poorer counties' economies will suffer the most because of climate change.
Richer areas with the ability to adapt the expensive infrastructure that will be required to mitigate the impacts will suffer far less.
For too long the face of climate change has been a stranded polar bear. It is time for poor and working-class Americans to take their place where they belong: at the center of the climate debate. Tackling climate change is about ensuring that all citizens get their chance to achieve the American dream; saving the polar bears is just a bonus.

How One Philanthropist is Strategically Joining the Climate Fight
For Kathy Washienko, a philanthropist at Seattle Foundation and a board member of Climate Solutions, climate change is an issue with two lenses. One is a bird's-eye lens -- the reality that climate change threatens and can impact all of us -- and the other lens focuses a bit closer to home -- the importance of confronting climate change on behalf of children growing up today and the generations to come. "To me, it's just a profound problem facing society that has the potential and the likelihood of impacting so many facets of our lives. It just has to rise to the top," Washienko says. "We need to get more people to understand the intense urgency of the climate problem and that there really is hope. There's a lot we can do that can have a big impact on how climate change plays out." Motivated by her ethic of service and professional training in public health, Washienko doesn't shy away form big problems. Her optimism cuts across complexity and as a philanthropist, she value the multiple and reinforcing strategies in the environmental movement. "It's really important that we broaden the tent and help more people see their role in the climate fight, find their voice in the climate fight," says Washienko. "Ultimately, we win by a whole bunch of progress in a lot of different areas. Every solar panel that goes up on someone's roof, every mass transit line we build so people are in their cars less, or [ever person who] chooses to buy an electric vehicle instead of a gas-powered car -- all of those are steps in the fight. We all need to live on a planet that is stable." Washienko's approach demonstrates that in the face of complex problems like climate change, philanthropists can benefit from investing in multiple strategies. Knowing the scale and systemic nature of the problem, Washienko significantly invests in ambitious, multi-year policy and systems change efforts led by local organizations like Climate Solutions. She also focuses some of her resources on immediate carbon reduction strategies, like Northwest SEED's solar panel program. Closer to home, Washienko's sense of urgency can be seen through her ties with family and community. Family is a tether that unites people across geographic and economic borders, and for Washienko, one that made an already personal issue that much more urgent. "I would be concerned and active whether or not I'd ever had children. But, to have kids, have them be aware of what's happening and look to their parents for some sort of reassurance and be like, 'okay, this is looking bad!' -- I feel a strong moral obligation to say, 'I've done everything I can'." These beliefs, coupled with a thorough knowledge of the issue's time sensitivity, led Washienko to rethink her philanthropic strategy. Working with her advisers at Seattle Foundation and the Northwest Conservation Fellowship at Seattle Venture Partners, she decided to "frontload" her giving in the climate space and give significantly over a five-year period rather than parse it out evenly over a longer term. By nature, partnering with a community foundation complements Washienko's approach to advocacy, which comes from a desire to affect change that strengthens people's sense of connectedness. "Climate change can feel like a somewhat overwhelming problem to try to address. But when there are ways that a group of people each doing something relatively small can add up to something much bigger, we demonstrate and give people hope that we can tackle things more at the scale of the problem. I'm happy to see that Seattle Foundation is talking about climate change more directly and having it as a focus of some of their grantmaking efforts."

Data, while plentiful and readily available, exists today in silos. Because it is not collected, stored or made available in real-time, siloed data cannot drive your in-the-moment decisions about which message a user is likely to respond.
Jivox IQ uses Big Data technologies–like Hadoop, Redis, Spark, Mapreduce and many others–in the Jivox IQ Personalization Engine and the Jivox IQ Personalization Hub. This is how we harness a wide spectrum of data designed for real-time decision making, giving you – the new generation marketer – the power to deliver precise, personalized messages to every individual consumer.
Data triggers change in real-time. This data integration also occurs in real-time. How do they work? Imagine a user searches for a product on the site, say sneakers. Within a few milliseconds, the gender data from a third-party DMP is matched to determine whether men's or women's sneakers should be shown in the ad. This lightning speed matching is possible because these two data sources integrate dynamically to feed the decisioning and machine learning algorithms.


After receiving my Master of Arts Degree from the University of Iowa, I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota where I am currently working toward my Master of Fine Arts Degree at Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
I started making traditional cut and paste collages in September 2011. Working in this way was influenced by my decision to revisit my involvement in a horrific car accident as a child, which put me in recovery for months. My process begins with fragmented and incomplete pieces, evolving eventually until all elements form a new whole; which parallels my recovery.
In my current body of work, I am juxtaposing images of pinups with essentially disposable processed food. My intent was not to convey a message, but rather to set rules and limitations on the way I work, thus leaving the interpretation of the artwork to the viewer.
For my materials I had five Rogue For Men and five Family Circle Magazines from the early to late sixties and a stack of different colored 11 x 17 inch paper. The rules I set up for myself, were to use one woman from Rogue For Men with one food ad from Family Circle magazine to create each collage.

Faster than Light
If you haven't heard already, Adrian Cho writes:
If it's true, it will mark the biggest discovery in physics in the past half-century: Elusive, nearly massless subatomic particles called neutrinos appear to travel just faster than light, a team of physicists in Europe reports. If so, the observation would wreck Einstein's theory of special relativity, which demands that nothing can travel faster than light.
In fact, the result would be so revolutionary that it's sure to be met with skepticism all over the world. "I suspect that the bulk of the scientific community will not take this as a definitive result unless it can be reproduced by at least one and preferably several experiments," says V. Alan Kostelecky, a theorist at Indiana University, Bloomington. He adds, however, "I'd be delighted if it were true."
The data comes from a 1300-metric-ton particle detector named Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus (OPERA). Lurking in Italy's subterranean Gran Sasso National Laboratory, OPERA detects neutrinos that are fired through the earth from the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. As the particles hardly interact at all with other matter, they stream right through the ground, with only a very few striking the material in the detector and making a noticeable shower of particles.
Over 3 years, OPERA researchers timed the roughly 16,000 neutrinos that started at CERN and registered a hit in the detector. They found that, on average, the neutrinos made the 730-kilometer, 2.43-millisecond trip roughly 60 nanoseconds faster than expected if they were traveling at light speed. "It's a straightforward time-of-flight measurement," says Antonio Ereditato, a physicist at the University of Bern and spokesperson for the 160-member OPERA collaboration. "We measure the distance and we measure the time, and we take the ratio to get the velocity, just as you learned to do in high school." Ereditato says the uncertainty in the measurement is 10 nanoseconds.

15% Is A Good Starting Point, But...Can You Save More On Your Ontario Auto Insurance?
> 15% Is A Good Starting Point, But...Can You Save More On Your Ontario Auto Insurance?
Back in August 2013, the Ontario government announced it was targeting an average 15 per cent decrease in car insurance rates by August 2015, and so far they say rates have dropped an average six per cent. Are there ways to save even more?
A good friend of mine, always tells me to ask, "Is that the best price I can get?" when buying something from a store. At first, I was embarrassed to do it but have long since learned that it never hurts to ask as I'm often offered an extra 5 per cent here, a 5 per cent there. It adds up.
Now, buying auto insurance isn't the same as buying a new refrigerator; this is absolutely true. There are no weekend sales, and there's no room for haggling. Car insurance in Ontario is highly regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to ensure that people are treated fairly and consistently; this is a good thing.
But, take a look at your current auto insurance policy, and ask yourself, "is this the best price I can get?" Chances are-if you're a good driver-you can get a better price, especially in the coming months and year ahead.
In August, 2013 the Ontario Liberal government unveiled its Auto Insurance Cost and Rate Reduction Strategy, and since then the government says auto insurance rates have dropped an average of more than six per cent. But, the target is actually 15 per cent by August 2015, and the government hopes the recent passing of Bill 15, the Fighting Fraud and Reducing Automobile Insurance Rates Act will contribute to helping them achieve this promised goal.
Anytime there's a change in car insurance rates, drivers don't see the full effect until it's time to renew. But why wait? You're free to compare auto insurance quotes at any time, and even switch auto insurance providers. Given how car insurance rates have dropped, and are expected to continue to drop, the savings you reap may very well offset the cost of a mid-policy cancellation fee. You don't have to wait for the savings to come to you: compare auto insurance quotes today.
Over the next year or two, you're going to see more and more about telematics (or usage-based insurance) and how it can help you save on car insurance. But what the heck is it? It's a device that you install into your vehicle; it monitors your speed, acceleration and braking tendencies, the time of day you typically drive as well as how much driving you actually do. For good drivers, it's a great opportunity to earn additional car insurance discounts. A popular misconception is that it will be used to penalize bad drivers; this isn't true. Drivers who sign up, pay a car insurance rate just like anybody else, and then get discounts based on their good driving behaviour, bad drivers don't.
Drivers may not believe it, but car insurance rates (and how they're determined) are going to change. As rates decrease, and insurance becomes more individualized, being a good driver has never before saved you so much money.

This week in motor sport, Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard started life as world champions, winning the title in Porsche's second season since it returned to sports car racing. Fellow Porsche man Edgar Barth was born 108 years ago, a driver who ruled the Freiburg-Schauinsland hillclimb in the late sixties.
England's only World Rally champion Richard Burns claimed his title 14 years ago, and exactly four years later to the day lost his battle with a brain tumour.
The Olympic Stadium in Stratford, London, recovered from the Race of Champions. In 2007, creator and former WRC front-runner Michèle Mouton took us through how the event joined the motor racing calendar.
A brace of Le Mans winners were born: John Hindmarsh, winner driving a Lagonda Rapide in 1935, was born in 1907 and 1995 winner with McLaren Masanori Sekiya turned 66. Staying with the Le Mans theme, Desiré Wilson turned 62 years old.
A Scuderia sensation, and a winner on his F1 debut in a Ferrari 'Sharknose' in 1961, Gincarlo Baghetti died 20 years ago, while just this week Ferrari let go a young starlet. Driver Academy member Lance Stroll, subject of a spotlight last year, moved to Williams to become their new development driver.

A eleição municipal do Rio de Janeiro em 1996 ocorreu no dia 3 de outubro daquele ano para eleger o prefeito e o vice-prefeito, além de 51 vereadores para a Câmara Municipal da cidade.

A campanha eleitoral contou com a participação de 14 concorrentes ao principal cargo majoritário da cidade. O prefeito em exercício César Maia, do PFL, não pôde buscar uma nova reeleição devido ao limite constitucional de um mandato consecutivo. Pela primeira vez, os eleitores usaram urnas eletrônicas no Brasil.

O primeiro turno foi realizado em 3 de outubro. Como nenhum candidato recebeu a maioria dos votos para ser eleito imediatamente em primeiro turno, os dois primeiros colocados desse, o arquiteto Luiz Paulo Conde, candidato do PFL, e o então deputado estadual Sérgio Cabral Filho, candidato pelo PSDB, avançaram para o segundo turno. Em 15 de novembro, Conde venceu a disputa, tendo sido eleito com 62,17% dos votos válidos (1.735.415 votos).

A chapa vencedora tomou posse na Prefeitura do Rio em 1° de janeiro de 1997 para um mandato de quatro anos. Ex-secretário municipal de urbanismo na gestão de Cesar Maia, Luiz Paulo Conde assumia pela primeira vez o cargo.

Gun Rights Groups, Right Wingers Battle Each Other In DC
By Evan McMorris-Santoro
Gun rights groups are gathering in Washington today to call for increased access to firearms, and the right to pack heat everywhere. But before they make their stand, gun rights advocates have work out an internal struggle playing itself out around the city.
Two groups of pro-gun activists are gathering in Washington — one armed and (according to right wing groups, dangerous), and one unarmed. Both want it to be easier for Americans to carry guns around wherever they go.
But neither, it seems, want anything to do with each other.At the Washington Monument, gun owners will gather in an unarmed rally to support gun rights called the "Second Amendment March." It's there you'll find talk of gun rights supported by a number of pro-gun groups, including the United States Concealed Carry Association, the Oathkeepers and the U.S. Gun Owner's Association.
The group will hear from speakers including Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) and jam to the sounds of country star Lucas Hodge. The Second Amendment March has all the makings of a standard pro-gun rally, though tinged with some of the tea party rhetoric that has crept into into every corner of American conservatism lately.
The March is almost vehemently unarmed. D.C. law doesn't allow the carrying of firearms, and organizers make it clear they don't think that carrying a gun is a necessary part of arguing for less restrictive gun laws. At the top of the list of the March's " official rules of conduct" is, "NO UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS."
Rule number 2? "If you do not intend to comply with item #1, do not attend."
The same can't be said of another event held just outside town today at Ft. Hunt National Park in northern Virgina. According to the Washington Post, protesters at the "Restore The Constitution" rally will take advantage of new gun laws signed by President Obama allowing the carrying of firearms in national parks to make an armed stand for liberty today.
Rally organizer Daniel Almond put the event together "because he is upset about health-care reform, climate control, bank bailouts, drug laws and what he sees as President Obama's insistence on and the Democratic Congress's capitulation to a 'totalitarian socialism' that tramples individual rights," the Post reports.
Almond will be packing heat, and he's calling on others to join him. The park is just a few miles from downtown D.C. and, on a clear day, the Capitol dome is visible from the location.
Even groups inclined to agree with Almond under other circumstances are not amused by his plan to gather armed men with grudges against the government in the shadow of the Capitol on the fifteenth anniversary of the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in American history.
Over at the Second Amendment March, organizers want to make it clear they're not involved.
"People may be confusing us with another group that is holding an armed rally in Virginia on the same day as Second Amendment March," they write on their website. "That group is a separate entity entirely and is not at all associated with the Second Amendment March event."
An Oath Keeper's board member explained his group's decision to pull out of Almond's event April 12 to the Post.
"It had gotten to the point that it would be dangerous to attend," the Oath Keeper told the paper. "There are people out there willing to do anything to create chaos in an uncontrolled situation, and [the event] is wide open for disaster."
Late Update The Washington Post headed out to Almond's armed rally today and caught some video of the 50 people the paper reported were in attendance.

Tea Party Express Endorses Matt Rosendale for Congress
Sacramento, CA – Tea Party Express, the nation's largest Tea Party political action committee, is proud to endorse Matt Rosendale for Montana's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Tea Party Express Executive Director Taylor Budowich said, "Matt Rosendale is not your usual kind of political candidate. He's not a lawyer and doesn't have some fancy degree. He is a salt-of-the-earth American who understands the value of hard work, entrepreneurship, and family. He is a stalwart defender of freedom and the Constitution. You just have to watch his ad "Rifle Shot" to understand he's serious about stopping the government from spying on its citizens. He will fight to rein in Washington, D.C.'s out-of-control spending and regulations that burn Montana families and job creators. That's why Tea Party Express is proud to support Matt Rosendale for Congress," Budowich concluded.
Comments from local Tea Party leaders:
Gloria Roark, Member of Missoula Tea Party Patriots:
Matt Rosendale is an extraordinary man, having the highest integrity and will continue to represent our great State of Montana by representing us in Congress. Vote for Matt Rosendale!
Jean Ruppert, Member of Butte Tea Party Patriots:
I have chosen Matt Rosendale to be our next Representative in Washington, D.C. We have a lot of good people running, but I looked at the records and the way he votes is the way I would like my Congressman to vote. I think Matt is not a politician, but is a Patriot who is watching out for the people.
Bobby and Joan Carroll, Members of Mineral County Tea Party:
Bobby and I met Matt Rosendale about a year ago and along with visiting with him on a personal basis and listening him talk before groups, he has never wavered from his principles and what he wants to do for Montanans. I have been told by those that work with him in the legislature that before he votes he checks to see if it is within the confines of the Constitution or the Bible and if it is not, he will not vote for the bill. Bobby and I have been going door to door for Matt handing out his literature and a sheet showing Matt's and his opponent's votes on critical issues. Candidates can say what they want but their voting record is their DNA. It really shows who they are and Matt is head and shoulders above all of his opponents when it comes to staying true and voting conservative every time.
We endorse Matt Rosendale wholeheartedly for the seat he is running for in the U.S. House.
Sen. Ed Butcher, Member of Lewistown Tea Party:
I know personally and I have reviewed the four Republicans running for U.S. House. Several are good friends of mine, several are qualified but as I have reviewed their records and positions, I am supporting Matt Rosendale because he is the strongest of the four. In terms of our Constitutional protections, private property rights and the other issues, which are really important to America and Montana, Matt stands out.
Jay Anderson, Member of Big Sky Tea Party:
In Montana, Tea Parties do not endorse candidates. However, individuals are free to endorse any candidate who embodies the principles they share. Jay Anderson, from Helena, is excited to actively endorse Matt Rosendale for office.
Rudy and Judy Tankink, Members of Great Falls Tea Party:
A candidate's DNA is his past voting record. Matt Rosendale is the only true Conservative and his voting record while in the Montana Legislature proves it.


SO! Amplifies: Yvon Bonenfant's Voice Bubbles App | Sounding Out!
During a preview of the UK tour of my performance Beacons, I noticed something intriguing. There were a couple of children in the audience, and they were singing along with me. I mean, not just singing – doing all kinds of vocal things along with me.
You have to understand that I'm an extended – or I now prefer the term extra-normal – vocalist. I make artwork from the 'weird' qualities of the voice. Now, the term weird, when it comes to the voice, is always culturally relative. But let's face it – in almost any of the industrialized cultures, we don't exactly let the voice go wild, and so the category of "weird" is pretty large and full. Our cultures are a Freudian fiesta of vocal repression and sublimation. When's the last time you heard a heartfelt, loose, easy series of adult sobs at a business meeting, or a wail of deep mourning at a funeral? When it comes to the voice, we're pretty uptight.
However, here were some children absolutely letting loose and going along for the ride. This has happened before. During my piece Soie Soyeuse, during which I wrap the audience in habotai silk, some children got right into it. I was five feet away making really incredibly 'ugly' chewing noises and groans of gnashing teeth and they delightedly voiced along.
Right now, everything's becoming user-driven. The audience loves to co-make art. And why not? So I thought: let's go for broke, here. Let's try to create some environments and experiences in which kids (and the kid in all of us) can really explore what their voices can do. Let's give them freedom to experiment. Let's reward them for wildness. Let's try to make it child and family friendly, but beautiful and rich and somehow sensual, despite the limitations of the tablet format. I worked like a dog to get financing. I collaborated with scientists. And so, Voice Bubbles for iPad was born.
It's free, thanks to our funders. It's got no silly pop up ads and in-app purchases. Kids love it and will use it for hours, happily. It lets them record, improvise, structure and add effects to their voices. They can play back little sequences or structured phrases. They can fool with what else their voices can do and be.
It makes them feel, and makes we adults question, just why we need to keep the voice so under wraps when it's a source of so much playful joy and intense engagement. Give it to a child to enjoy. Enjoy it yourself.

Adam Stephen Birchall (born 2 December 1984) is a retired footballer who played as a forward and currently serves as Head Coach for the Arsenal U17 side as well as the assistant manager of the under-18s squad.

Despite being born in England he has several caps for the Welsh under-21 team, scoring on his debut against the Finland under 21s.

Career
Born in Maidstone, Kent, Birchall began his career at Arsenal, but never made it to the first-team. In the 2004–05 season, Birchall had a successful loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers, scoring four goals in twelve league games. He was released by Arsenal at the end of that season, and joined Mansfield Town in June 2005 on a two-year contract.

The move to Mansfield was something of a disappointment for Birchall. Big things were expected from the youngster, but despite occasional flashes of brilliance, he failed to live up to expectations, scoring only three goals and spending most of his time at Mansfield playing on the right of midfield. He did, however, score in Mansfield's nationally televised FA Cup victory against Grays Athletic on his 21st birthday.

On 23 November 2006, Birchall was loaned to divisional rivals Barnet, where he was a hit, scoring the first goal in their 4–1 thrashing of Northampton Town in the FA Cup. A move was made permanent on 4 January 2007. During his time at Barnet, Birchall is credited with the idea for a now widely used scheme whereby only the team captain can question referees' decisions, to reduce dissent and the yellow cards that follow. Since the beginning of the 2007–08 season, when the rule was introduced, the club's disciplinary record has significantly improved, and the club has earned praise throughout the game. After finishing as the top goalscorer for Barnet in the 2007–08 season with 15 goals, Birchall struggled for form in 2009 and was released in May after scoring only two league goals in the 2008–09 season.

Birchall signed for Conference South side Dover Athletic in July 2009. Birchall made his league debut for Dover in the first game of the season against Maidenhead United, before scoring his first league goal for the club in the following fixture against Bishop's Stortford. Birchall scored both goals against Aldershot Town to take Dover to the FA Cup 3rd Round for the first time in their history. Birchall became the club's goalscoring record holder, and the Conference South record holder, at the end of the 2010–11 season with a total of 45 goals in 49 appearances. He also was the top goal scorer in the FA Cup that year and went on to receive the award at Wembley. Birchall again attracted interest from clubs higher up the football pyramid and in July 2011 Dover Athletic received substantial undisclosed bids from League Two sides Swindon Town, newcomers AFC Wimbledon, and local rivals Gillingham, for whom he signed a three-year deal on 12 July 2011. He was seriously injured during a pre-season friendly, however, and missed the entire 2011–12 season.

Birchall finally made his competitive debut for Gillingham on 14 August 2012, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 away win against Bristol City in the League Cup. He scored his first goal for the Gills in their 4–0 FA Cup win over Scunthorpe United on 3 November, but after playing only 21 games in 2 seasons he was released by the club at the end of the 2013–14 season.

Soon after, Birchall signed for Bromley. He scored his first competitive goal for the club in a 5–1 win over Uxbridge in the FA Cup. His first league goal for the club was a 90th-minute winner against Bishop's Stortford on 9 December.

Coaching career
In July 2016 Birchall returned to his former club Arsenal as a youth coach.

In July 2022, Birchall became under-17s head coach having previously been with the age-group below, as well as becoming assistant head coach for the under-18s to newly appointed Jack Wilshere.

Personal life
In July 2011 Birchall became engaged to Lianne, and the couple's first child was due to be born in October that same year.

2008 Malegaon blast: In courtroom, spotlight on role of sniffer dog
According to the certificate prepared by the witness at the site hours after the blast, a sniffer dog named Shaun had given a "signal" about the presence of explosive particles on the motorcycle.

According to the certificate prepared by the witness at the site hours after the blast, a sniffer dog named Shaun had given a 'signal' about the presence of explosive particles on the motorcycle at the blast site. (Archive)
In the 2008 Malegaon blast case, an official from the bomb detection and disposal squad, deposing in court, on Thursday identified a certificate prepared by him that stated that explosive particles were seen on the spare parts of the LML Freedom motorcycle at the blast site. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad, which initially probed the case, claims the motorcycle belongs to accused and BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur.
The certificate lists the motorcycle's spare parts as the only objects found at the blast site. It mentions that Shaun's handler, who was part of the team led by the witness in the wee hours of September 30, 2008, had shown Shaun the "object", to which Shaun responded with a "signal". The witness told the court that the dog's handler was equipped to understand the barking as a signal, based on which the certificate was prepared.
Advocate Ranjeet Sangle, representing accused Sudhakar Dhar Dwivedi, asked the witness if he was an expert in interpreting the "signal" given by the dog. The witness said that he could, based on the dog's bark. Sangle then asked the witness, "How did the dog bark?".

Special Judge V S Padalkar asked the lawyer how could the court record the barking of a dog. Sangle told the judge that the court was being hostile after which Judge Padalkar said that the defence lawyer was being hostile instead.
The court recorded that the court had not been told how it should record the barking of the dog. The court then asked Sangle if it was expected to record the answer to his question as "bhow-bhow".
Subsequently, Sangle told the court that he wanted to ask the witness how many times the dog had barked. The witness was eventually asked if the assistance of the dog handler is necessary to interpret the dog's signal, to which the witness answered in the affirmative.
Sangle asked the witness whether the BDDS would require a "clear and uncontaminated" site for inspection, referring to the delay in the team reaching the spot. The witness said yes and volunteered that the police had cordoned off the blast site till their team reached the spot, nearly four hours later.
The defence advocates, representing Thakur, J P Mishra and Prashant Maggu, during cross-examination asked the witness if the dog had given the signal only at the spare parts because he was led to it, to which he said no. The witness said that the dog was allowed in the area of the blast site but he had given a signal only at the spare parts of the motorcycle.

Q: Is it possible that z-index of different CSS can work together? I'm working on a piece of code where I want to show notification-dropdown over a carousel. For this purpose I'm using z-index property. I have two different CSS files, one for notification-dropdown and other for carousel.
I've given the higher value of z-index for notification-dropdown and lower for carousel. These values are in two different CSS files.
Is it possible that z-index property will work in this case as CSS files for notification-dropdown and carousel are different?

A: z-index is a property of a box in CSS 2.1 (docs). It should not matter the CSS file it is specified in, as long as it targets the correct box.
In case a different index is given in more than one file, CSS ambiguity rules apply.
In order to better understand the concept, CSS make use of Stacking Contexts when rendering content. Appendix E is a good informative article for deeper studies.

Three takeaways from Gov. Chris Christie on "Ask the Governor"
Gov. Chris Christie did his monthly "Ask the Governor" call-in program on New Jersey 101.5 FM on Monday night.
Three takeaways from Gov. Chris Christie on "Ask the Governor" Gov. Chris Christie did his monthly "Ask the Governor" call-in program on New Jersey 101.5 FM on Monday night. Check out this story on app.com: http://on.app.com/1id0FDG
Michael Symons, @MichaelSymons_ Published 1:33 p.m. ET April 22, 2014
Gov. Chris Christie did his monthly "Ask the Governor" call-in program on New Jersey 101.5 FM on Monday night. If you didn't catch it, below are some of the highlights; if you want to watch it, here's the link.
1) Christie didn't sound jazzed about the idea of reducing the influence he and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have over Port Authority of New York and New Jersey appointments and decisions, as was suggested at a public hearing held Monday in New York.
"All these things are things that need to be discussed and considered discussed and considered, but we do need to remember that Gov. Cuomo and I are the only two people who are elected in either state who have authority over the Port Authority. And I don't know that people would want to go exclusively to a group of an unelected people to be making these decisions regarding tens of billions of dollars. So I think we have to be careful about it."
2) Christie, as he said he would in the State of the State back in January, is keeping up his focus on the costs of benefits for public workers and retirees.
He told one caller, an Atlantic County employee, that beginning next fiscal year -- 2016, the budget that will be adopted 16 months from now -- the state's cost for retirees' health benefits will exceed the cost for active employees for the first time. "That means we'll pay more for people who are doing nothing than for people who are doing something. Now if that is not the symbol of a broken system, I don't know what is. It is not sustainable."
(He also told the caller he has put more money into the pension system than any other governor in New Jersey history -- which becomes true when this year's payment is made in June, though for now he has still put in less than Gov. Jon Corzine did.)
Christie said there have been no discussions with the Legislature about additional changes to pensions and health benefits, though he acknowledged talks have started with Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto about extending the 2% police/fire arbitration cap.
He returned to the theme when asked by another caller about proposed cuts to cancer research funding.
"I think cancer research is really important to the state of New Jersey, but lots of other people fund cancer research through private funding and through federal government funding. We are trying to put together a budget with increasing pension costs, increasing health benefit costs and increase debt service costs, which chew up 94 cents of every new dollar that we're spending in FY15.
"Ninety-four cents -- hear that now -- of every new dollar is going for public employee pensions, public employee and retiree health benefits and debt service. That leaves 6 cents to spend on anything else, of every new dollar. So you have to make some difficult choices and you have to look for things where there may be duplication in other places, and you try to save where you can save."
"That doesn't leave a heck of a lot of money to be able to spend on things like cancer research or other issues in additional new money beyond what we've done before," he added later. "That's why we have to deal with this issue -- because people complain all the time, 'Why don't you spend more money on this or that?' Well, I'm spending more money this year. I'm spending more money this year than we've ever spent in the state in my proposed budget. But 94 cents of every new dollar in that increased spending goes to entitlements -- pensions, health benefits and debt service."
Christie said cancer research, services and prevention will remain the third largest part of the Department of Health's budget, even if last year's legislative add-ons are reversed in the final budget.
And Christie returned to the theme again when the next caller asked about cuts to the NJ STARS scholarship she had been promised -- $2,500 a year, rather than $7,000.
"I would love to spend more money on higher education," Christie said. "In fact, I've spent more money on higher education, invested more, than any governor in the past 25 years. But the fact is that when I have to spend 94 cents of every new dollar on pensions, health benefits for retirees and current employees and debt service, it leaves me 6 cents to do all of these other things that you and others would like me to do and in fact I'd like to do myself."
"I'm going to force this conversation," Christie said. "I may not win the conversation. The Legislature may decide they simply are unwilling to do anything about it. But these chickens will come home to roost, and whether it happens when I'm governor or when it happens when the next person comes, I'm saying it now because I don't want the next man or woman to blame me for this."
Christie's comments about retirees' health benefits drew a rebuttal Tuesday from New Jersey State AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech.
"The governor is sabotaging his own reforms for political gain. If he simply allows the reforms already in place to work, this so-called 'crisis' will also recede. Future retirees will be required pay a share of their health premiums. The governor knew these facts and the numbers when he signed that law," Wowkanech said. "Just as the administration cannot be changing actuarial assumptions mid-game to fit their budgets, they also can't be changing health policy for retirees mid-game to fit their politics."
3) Christie's family had two Easter dinners Sunday at Drumthwacket, the state-owned governor's mansion -- first with family, then with the Princeton University baseball team, whose roster includes Christie's oldest son, Andrew, a sophomore and backup catcher.
At 2 p.m., roughly 50 members of Christie's extended family gathered for what he called "our late lunch, early dinner shift" -- including seven of Mary Pat Christie's nine siblings and their families, plus Christie's father and sister and their spouses, children and so forth.
Then at 6 p.m., the Princeton baseball team, including the coaches, and their families arrived for Easter dinner -- 95 people in all, Christie said. The team had split a doubleheader against Penn earlier Sunday and wasn't able to head home for the holiday -- so rather than have them eat in a campus dining hall or a local restaurant, they got to eat at Drumthwacket.
"It was a pretty crazy but great Easter for us," Christie said.

U.S. social conditions create racist massacre of Sikhs
By Kris Balderas-Hamel posted on August 9, 2012
The terror of yet another mass killing struck in the heartland of the United States on Aug. 5, when alleged shooter Wade Michael Page opened fire in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisc. Oak Creek is a suburb of about 35,000, located 12 miles south of Milwaukee. Six people were killed and three were critically injured. According to eyewitnesses, a cop killed Page as he was shooting another police officer.
The shooting spree started a little before 10:30 a.m., an hour before the worship service. Members of the temple had been arriving all morning. The children were in Sunday school, and women congregants were preparing a free luncheon as the gunfire erupted.
The killings took place just 16 days after the massacre in Aurora, Colo., where alleged gunman James Holmes opened fire in a crowded movie theater, killing 12 people and injuring more than 50 others.
The Sikh religion, which is not related to Islam, began about 500 years ago in the Punjab region of India and has more than 30 million adherents around the world. Although most Sikhs live in India, the diaspora includes the U.S., with an estimated 3,000 Sikh families residing in southeastern Wisconsin.
In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Sikhs have been targets of violence by racists and anti-immigrant bigots who confuse them with Muslims — the racists' intended victims — because of their traditional garb and head turbans. NBC News noted on Aug. 6 that some 700 cases of anti-Sikh violence have been reported in the U.S. since 2001.
It is of utmost importance that all progressive forces, including labor unionists, community and political groups, and religious figures, show strong solidarity with the Sikh community and condemn this hateful attack.
Killer: white supremacist, militarist
In an Aug. 6 press release from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate and bias crimes and movements, Heidi Beirich and Mark Potok called Page a white supremacist and "frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band."
They stated: "Wade Michael Page was a member of two racist skinhead bands — End Apathy and Definite Hate, a band whose album 'Violent Victory' featured a gruesome drawing of a disembodied white arm punching a Black man in the face. In the drawing, the fist is tattooed with the letters 'HFFH,' the acronym for the phrase 'Hammerskins Forever, Forever Hammerskins.'"
The report noted, "The Hammerskins is a nationwide skinhead organization with regional factions and chapters that once dominated the racist skinhead movement in the United States."
The day after the shootings, the Pentagon confirmed that Page, 40, was a former "psychological operations specialist" in the U.S. Army, where he served from 1992 to 1998. He reportedly received basic training at Fort Sill, Okla., and then went to Fort Bliss in Texas.
Fort Bragg, N.C., where Page's military career ended, is home to Army airborne units and its Special Operations Command. The Pentagon says that he was a qualified parachutist, who received numerous commendation and achievement medals, as well as a National Defense Service Medal and a Humanitarian Service Medal.
Page was "kicked out of the Army" because of a "drinking problem," and had been arrested in several states for driving while intoxicated. NBC News reported FBI spokesperson Theresa Carlson's statement: "No one else has been associated with the shooting." Page's shooting rampage is being investigated as a "possible act of domestic terrorism." (Aug. 6) Earlier reports had indicated a possible second participant in the shootings.
Behind the killing sprees
It should be no surprise or mystery that within the U.S., especially in the current political climate, these racist, heinous shootings and killings by a neo-fascist former military operative have occurred.
This murderous rampage, like the massacre in Colorado on July 20, has its roots in a society dominated by corporations and the Pentagon. The country is built on racism and genocide, and imbued with entitlement and white supremacist attitudes toward the majority of humankind. It is not in a vacuum that fascists, racist reactionaries and sociopaths feel emboldened to carry out such acts.
The super-rich capitalist ruling class — what the Occupy movement dubbed the 1% — thrives on divide-and-conquer tactics meant to prevent the 99%, the vast majority of workers and oppressed peoples, from uniting to fight for human rights and dignity. This includes the right to a job or income at a living wage; free universal health care; quality, equal public education; a home for everyone; and an end to all forms of discrimination, national oppression, racism, sexism and anti-lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer bigotry.
In this era of low-wage capitalism and endless U.S. wars, which suck the lifeblood and money from every city and every social program, neo-fascist elements and ultra-reactionaries are emboldened to organize and strike.
Wisconsin Bail Out the People Movement organizer Bryan G. Pfeifer spoke to Workers World about the recent shooting in that state. In February 2011, the state erupted in an ongoing worker rebellion against the racist austerity and union-busting program of Gov. Scott Walker.
"The media is making the shooter out to be an individual acting in a rogue fashion, but that's incorrect," said Pfeifer. "This shooting takes place in a state that over the past few years has been known for virulently racist, anti-worker politicians — working for the 1% — and their reactionary actions. These include [U.S. Rep.] Jim Sensenbrenner's sponsoring of anti-immigrant legislation in 2006; [U.S. Rep.] Paul Ryan's and [U.S. Sen.] Ron Johnson's attacks on Medicare and Medicaid; and all of Walker's racist attacks, from Act 10 to voter ID rules to defunding Planned Parenthood and much more."
United fightback needed
Pfeifer explains, "Other situations have also contributed to the racist climate in Wisconsin. This includes the ongoing battles over public housing in New Berlin and the building of the new mosque in Brookfield, which was won due to a community fightback by Arab and Muslim people and their supporters. Of course, the police have continued their brutal, ongoing, myriad attacks, on behalf of the 1%, against Milwaukee's African-American community.
"Workers and progressive people should ask how Page traveled all over the country for years distributing white supremacist material, singing about it in bands and joining groups to harass and threaten people of color, but was never stopped and questioned by the FBI.
"Contrast that to the FBI's mistreatment of Occupy Wall Street protesters, Muslim communities and international solidarity activists. The government agency has raided, harassed, arrested and indicted many of them."
Pfeifer stresses, "Last year Nazis announced their recruitment rally in West Allis, Wisc., on Sept. 3, but this was soundly defeated by 2,000 anti-racists who shut down their anti-worker, racist hate. Only a mass, united fightback movement against racism and fascism will stop these elements from engaging in violent, murderous acts of terror."

Charming Cumbria, Lake District, UK
London is a little intimidating for visitors but luckily my daughter encouraged me to install London City app and it was the best thing I did as it made travelling around the vast city a pleasure instead of a nightmare. So when I was off to the Lake district by train I had to get from East Dulwich to Euston Station where I would catch the train to Oxenholme. I ended up having to take two buses to get there which was, in fact, very straightforward. I arrived at the station, found my train but was told it was very crowded and there was no seat allocation. One's worst nightmare – to stand for four hours so I needed to get my skates on and race to get a seat. Once on and sitting in the first seat I saw empty, the train trip from then on was enjoyable. I was so looking forward to having a few days in the Lake district with my sister and friends, especially as I had never been there before but had read and heard so much about its natural beauty.
The train arrived at Oxenholme on time and my sister, my cousin and her friend were all there to meet me and welcome me to the Lake District. My cousin's friend Diane had kindly offered us her house in Eskdale Green village (which is usually rented out as a holiday let) for our three nights there so off we set thinking we would go straight there but Diane had other ideas! Anyone coming to the Lake District for just a few days must see as much as possible in that time so she suggested we take the scenic route to our destination.
Our first stop was the 'famous' Lake Windermere and Windermere town. The lake looked really beautiful but the day was very cold and windy so it did not invite us to stay very long. Locals claim that this largest natural lake in UK holds many strange secrets! We had considered a trip in the ferry across the lake but the weather was not in our favour. We did stop for a cup of coffee in a hotel that overlooked the lake called Beachside Inn, which had a roaring fire and we enjoyed our coffee and the views from the warmth of the fireside.
Below photos from the drive up and over the Hardknott pass and the Hardknott Roman Fort
Next we headed off on the drive over the 'infamous' Hardknott pass' which is a pass between Eskdale and Duddon Valley and is considered one of the most challenging drives in UK and it definitely lived up to its reputation. We climbed up some extremely steep gradient, crawled around hairpin bends and were held up for twenty minutes while a farmer loaded some wood onto a trailer outside his home which completely blocked the road either way! There is of course absolutely no way you had the room to pass anyone on this narrow road where briars brush your windows as you drive along the road. Our sympathies were with a local farmer behind us who was towing a trailer of hay trying and just wanted to go down the road to his home. It was his local road but unfortunately for him tourists love the challenge of driving along this narrow winding road. We decided he would need to be a very patient man to live along this road. The Hardknott pass road vies with Rosedale Chimney Band in North Yorkshire for title of steepest road in England with both having gradient of almost 20 degrees.
We stopped along the pass at the ancient Hardknott Roman Fort which is believed to be one of the most remote Roman forts in UK. It is set hight up to command a view across Eskdale Valley and the old Roman Road to Ravenglass. It was built in the early part of the second century AD around the reign of the Emperor Hadrian (117–38).
The drive was exciting, challenging and scenic and thanks to our careful driver we finally arrived in the charming village of Eskdale Green, with its one main shop that sells almost everything including local Cumbrian produce. There is also one garage and an old church. Diane's holiday home, called 'Rockwood',was a beautiful detached Victorian house situated in an elevated position overlooking Muncaster Fell and the River Mite Valley (Lower Eskdale). Once settle and unpacked we went for a figure of eight walk with Diane and her dog Jack through beautiful bridle-walks – called Forrest How Bridleway. The scenery was stunning despite the heavy misty clouds. The walk circumnavigated the local village ending up going right through it. We walked past lush green field, woodlands and beautiful old stonewalls that were centuries old.

Irton Station
Our train
We decided we would drive to 'The Boot Inn' for dinner, just a few miles away. It was a lovely old building with a pub, a restaurant and accommodation. We ordered the local 'langoustines' but when we saw them arrive at the table next to us we decided they looked like too much hard work and changed our order for rib-eye steak which turned out to be OK. There was a warm convivial atmosphere in the pub/restaurant and lots of people despite it being in the middle of nowhere. Sleep came easily in Diane's warm comfortable home surrounded by the silence of the countryside.
Beautiful home we stayed in
I rose early before everyone else and headed out for a walk. I walked past the miniature train station called Irton station and along the Forest How Bridleway where I saw two beautiful red squirrels chasing each other up and down a large oak tree. I also scared some pheasants and watched a robin red breast sing his little heart out. What a beautiful countryside to be free to roam through.
After breakfast Diane insisted we go on the best train ride in the world locally known as "La'al Ratty" from Irton Road station. It is a narrow-gauge railway called Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. One way goes to Boot and the other to Ravenglass. We hopped on the little steam train to Boot (£13 for adult all day ticket-hop-on, hop-off). The village of Boot is full of surprises, it is a truly scenic village which grew from the discovery of iron ore locally. The Nab Gill iron ore mine used the railway from Boot to Ravenglass to carry the iron ore to the sea. Mining and quarrying continued well into the 20th century. In 1926 the built the present Dalegarth terminus where the train terminates just beside the road. There is a magic turntable there that turns the little engine around in about five minutes for the return journey to Ravenglass.
We walked from the little station towards the village and crossed over a 17th century 'packhorse' bridge to Eskdale Mill which was built in 1578 and which is claimed by locals to be the oldest working two wheel corn mill in UK. The old guy who 'managed' it told us proudly about its history while he demonstrated how it worked! It was a beautiful old stone buildings with a roof that had a curve in an unusual places – it is a listed building owned by a local trust. Just down from the mill was an old arts centre called the Fold End gallery in a converted barn full of crafts created by local artists.
We picked up some coffee from the station shop for our ride back through Irton on to Ravenglass our next stop. On the way we passed several groups of volunteers working close to the train tracks maintaining the local habitat. We stopped a few times on route, first at a place called 'the green', then a local campsite where we picked up a few people and at Irton Road station where we had boarded earlier. When we arrived at Ravenglass we headed straight for the local pub and had a very tasty meal accompanied by a glass of wine in front of a blazing fire! We then wandered through the village to the water's edge where Zita decided she needed to put toes into Irish Sea. We then wandered back to the station (where the main train line meets our little steam train) and I sat in the train while the three women browsed in the station shop.
We had assumed this train was the train we needed to get back home so I was not too concerned when the train started moving as I assumed it was just moving further into station but …. alas not so. It just kept going and there I was on the train without a ticket — it was in Zita's pocket! I wondered how I would explain this when asked for a ticket at the exit station. But it got worse, as we approached Irton Road station the train did not slow down….it did NOT stop at my station but just sailed on by to the next stop 'The Green". Luckily there is not much distance between Irton Road station and 'The Green' so I hopped off as soon as it stopped and went onto the road, turned left and hoped for the best. I hoped my sense of direction would take me back to Eskdale Green Village! I had rung my sister to let her know what had happened and Diane told me how to get into the house! It turned out to be a very enjoyable half hour walk back to home.
As soon as everyone was home Diane, the every thoughtful host, insisted we must go to the best view in the world/UK and so we set off for Wastewater Lake and then on to Scafell Peak passing Great Gable on the way. Everywhere was shrouded in mist and low cloud which gave an eerie feel to the lakes and hills. Just as we stopped to visit St Olaf's church at the end of the lake (it is said to be the smallest church near the deepest lake and the highest mountain in England!) the heavens opened. Afra and I opted to stay in the car while Zita, Diane and Jack, the dog, walked to little church and got drowned!
On the way home we bought some beautiful local produce from the village store to have with our wine before we walked to the local pub, King George IV Inn for dinner, a quaint old pub that serves steak & ale pies, smoked haddock fishcakes, Bewley's Cumberland sausages and local beef, mutton and fish. Another good atmosphere and a good time was had by all.
Muncaster Castle
The next morning we headed off to Muncaster Castle, a privately owned castle near the Esk River, which is opened to the public. This supposedly 'haunted house' is still a 'lived in' family home belonging to the Pennington family who have lived in the Castle since 1208. Part of this castle is now a B&B which looked an amazing place to stay.
Entry to the castle, gardens, owl sanctuary and maze varies according to time of year and what area you wish to visit. There are 70 acres of beautiful gardens famous for their collection of rhododendrons and azaleas set against the stunning backdrop of the Lakeland fells. The Hawk & Owl Centre is truly worth a visit as you can see long-eared owl, barn owls and eagle owls in the 'Sky Hunters' bird display. The eagle owl is an amazing specimen and beautiful to watch fly through the air. We wandered for hours all around the grounds as my sister Afra and Diane discussed the name of each flower, shrub, bush and tree we passed. There were some beautiful little garden shelter huts made with lengths of tiny trees cut to exact size.
On our way home we stopped at the local store to buy more olives, cheese and crackers to celebrate our last night in Cumbria and to wash it down with some beautiful red wine.
What a beautiful place Cumbria is!

News Forum - Woe upon woe – Suu Kyi gets more jail time
October 13, 2022 in Thaiger News
A court in Myanmar has convicted ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi on two more corruption charges. Her two three-year sentences will be served concurrently, though added to previous sentences that now leave her facing a 26-year prison term. In February 2021, the military took over from Suu Kyi's government. Her NLD party had won a landslide victory in elections, guaranteeing it a further five years in government. Suu Kyi was detained and has not been seen in public since. Tom Andrews, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, described the situation at the time as very disturbing. […]
The story Woe upon woe – Suu Kyi gets more jail time as seen on Thaiger News.
This is what a truly corrupt 3rd world dictatorship looks like. No justice. No freedom. Just a bunch of small men with tiny manhood complex making sure those who disagree with their stupidity stay locked up for life.
What a surprise a military Junta that wants to remain in control, remind you of anywhere?

Sarfaraz Ansari will be soon seen in a new music video with actress Prachi Kadam
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 21 (ANI/PNN): Among sectors that have consistently remained on a constant growth pedestal, no one can deny how creative and artistic realms like music have exceeded boundaries and contributed to the successful careers of tons of genuinely talented artists and musicians all around the world. Of course, the competition and saturation have been concerning since the industry has only grown tremendously, but it is still a lucrative field that never ceases to amaze people with the excellent opportunities it offers up-and-comers to help them to prove their mettle. To make the most of these opportunities is in the hands of these artists, who can go ahead in building their careers even amidst too many established names. Sarfaraz Ansari is well on his path to doing that in music.
The much-talked-about young artist is now all set to launch his upcoming music video, featuring him along with rising actress Prachi Kadam, who is known for her impressive roles in films like Malaal and Bachchan Pandey.
On the other hand, Sarfaraz Ansari is also growing as a prominent name on social media. Their upcoming music video has already become the talk of the town for all the right reasons, but the cherry on top is the vocals by Salman Ali, the winner of the 10th season of Indian Idol, the youngster who connected well with listeners and won their hearts with his tuneful and melodic voice and craft as music professional.
Sarfaraz Ansari and Prachi Kadam are really looking forward to sharing the screen with each other and are truly excited about what's in store for the audiences, who have been eagerly waiting for fresh faces and fresh music tracks to soothe their ears and souls.

Irma Stern (Schweitzer-Renecke, Transvaal, 1894-Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica, 23 de agosto de 1966) fue una pintora sudafricana cuya trayectoria tuvo un amplio reconocimiento nacional e internacional.

Biografía
Nació el 2 de octubre de 1894 en Schweitzer-Renecke, una pequeña ciudad en el Transvaal, de padres judeo-alemanes. Su padre fue internado por los británicos en un campo de concentración durante la guerra sudafricana debido a sus inclinaciones pro-bóer. Irma y su hermano pequeño, Rudi, fueron llevados a Ciudad del Cabo por su madre. Después de la guerra, la familia regresó a Alemania. Este viaje tendría gran influencia en el trabajo de Irma.

En 1913 Stern estudió arte en Alemania en la Academia Weimar, en 1914 en el Levin-Funcke Studio y a partir de 1917 con Max Pechstein, uno de los fundadores del Novembergruppe. Stern estuvo asociada a los pintores expresionistas alemanes de este periodo. Realizó su primera exposición en Berlín en 1919. En 1920 regresó a Ciudad del Cabo con su familia, allí fue rechazada y ridiculizada como artista en un principio, antes de convertirse en una artista reconocida en la década de los 40.

En 1926 se casó con su antiguo tutor, el doctor Johannes Prinz, que posteriormente llegó a ser profesor de alemán en la Universidad de Ciudad del Cabo. Se divorciaron en 1934.

Irma Stern viajó mucho por Europa y exploró el sur de África, Zanzíbar y la región de Congo. Estos viajes le proporcionaron una amplia gama de temas para sus pinturas y le dieron la oportunidad de adquirir y reunir una colección de artefactos. El sueño de Stern era viajar: estuvo en varias ocasiones en Madeira,  Dakar, Senegal, Congo, Zanzíbar, África Central, España y Francia. Irma Stern rechazó viajar a Alemania durante el periodo 1933 - 1945. En cambio, viajó mucho por Sudáfrica, por ejemplo en 1926 fue a Suazilandia y Pondoland, en 1933 a Namaqualand, en 1936 a varios lugares, y en 1941 al Cabo Oriental. Estas expediciones dieron como resultado una riqueza de creatividad y energía artística, así como la publicación de dos revistas ilustradas; Congo publicado en 1943 y Zanzíbar en 1948.

Realizó casi cien exposiciones individuales durante su vida, tanto en Sudáfrica como en Europa: Alemania, Francia, Italia e Inglaterra. A pesar de ser reconocida en Europa, en un principio su trabajo no fue apreciado en Sudáfrica, donde los críticos ridiculizaron sus primeras exposiciones en la década de 1920 con reseñas tituladas "Art of Miss Irma Stern - La fealdad como un culto".

El Museo Irma Stern fue fundado en 1971 en la casa donde había vivido la artista durante casi cuatro décadas. Ella se trasladó a Rondebosch en 1927 y vivió allí hasta su muerte. Varias de las habitaciones están amuebladas como ella ordenó, mientras en el piso de arriba hay una galería comercial utilizada por artistas contemporáneos de Sudáfrica.

El 8 de mayo de 2000, una de sus obras se vendió al Sotheby's South Africa en Johannesburgo por una cifra histórica. Este récord fue superado en varias ocasiones por otras obras de Stern, que se convirtieron en récords de ventas de arte sudafricano hasta el momento.

El 11 de noviembre de 2012, el cuadro de Stern, Fishing Boats, fue robado junto con otros cuatro de un museo de Pretoria. Una denuncia llevó a la policía sudafricana hasta un cementerio en Port Elizabeth, donde cuatro de los cinco cuadros se recuperaron de debajo de un banco.

Greetings Gang and welcome along to some old school/new school stuff.
Now back in the distant days of 1976ish or there about's I had this kit and built it.
As one may expect I didn't do what could be considered to be a good job on it.
Not even close if I recall correctly.
I decided it was time to put something to rights.
Or if you like, another one to cross off the list of 'That was then, this is now so let's do a better job' builds.
Now I have it in mind to build pretty much as is in a GR-1A sort of deal with some upgrades here and there.
And by upgrades, I do not mean a rake of resin/PE stuff.
Granted there's more than just a few splendid bits out there but only if you are doing a later mark of Harrier.
As near zero as makes no odds for the GR-1 or -1A add on/upgrade wise.
the artistic licence card is going to get fairly heavily played.
This is pretty much the first one in service so this is how it'll be.
Also call it a homage to the first since the Westminster based 1st Dingbat & Moron div.
Decided to take the Harrier out of service.
so this turn out ain't going to be one of them.
So first up, some detailing to get thrown at the cockpit.
Nothing too drastic, pilot officer whatsisface will occupy the front office anyway so mega overkill not required as such.
Speaking of which, just some styrene sheet bits added to the seat.
And a trimmed and shoved Milliput lump for the seat chute pack.
Bottom seat cushion not required as once the pilots in you can't see it so skip that one.
Cockpit sides done out as the stock sides are just blank.
Some styrene sheet strip with a little drilling action.
styrene sheet blocks and fuse wire stuck here and there.
A dry fit test with the help of some masking tape to stop it falling part.
Not looking too shabby at this point methinks.
Applied pretty much the same sort of thing and thinking to the main landing gear bays.
Didn't go too berserk here, just a bit of work to pretty them up rather than just blank faces.
So then, a goodly dose of primer applied after parts given a decent scrub down.
Then for the gear bays came much splashing on of white and shades of grey for the cockpit.
And that'll do it for this page, more on the next so away with thee and i'll see ya there!
