Return of the Kult
NOW ON AIR! Berlin's one and only forum for "world music" – an expletive that doesn't do justice to the city's vibrant music scene – is back, under a slightly different name. Hello, Radio Multicult!
At one time, had you removed the international music section from any given record store (for those of you who still visit those old museums), a small horde of concerned fans would have decried the loss of an important slice of musical culture. This is what happened when Radio Multikulti disappeared in 2008. But now, Berlin's one and only authentic forum for "world music" – by now an expletive that doesn't do justice to a vibrant, internationally minded local music scene that thrives off small clubs, alternative DJs and underground bands – is back in the form of the privately funded "Radio Multicult". For 14 years, Multikulti, which was run by public broadcaster RBB, provided an essential service in that it supported myriad subcultures ignored by mainstream Berlin stations. Still, despite widespread protest and petitions from the likes of CDU MP Rita Süssmuth and famed Russendisko DJ/author Wladimir Kaminer, the plug was pulled on the station, whose market share had dropped to a mere 0.8 percent and 38,000 listeners a day: the cash-strapped RBB had decided Radio Multikulti didn't have a big enough audience base. Multikulti's Berlin frequency was taken over by Funkhaus Europa, a quality world music station from Cologne – with great programming, but entirely lacking a connection to the Berlin scene. Why revive Multikulti as Multicult now, after 'failure' in 2008? Clemens Grün, music director of the new station, just feels that Berlin needs something like this: an arbiter of Balkan wave, Cuban, Latino, afrobeat and other international sounds to make the city's multikulti claims truly valid. RADIO MULTICULT starts broadcasting on September 1 over 88.4 and 90.7 FM – together, these two frequencies cover all of Berlin. For more info and to listen online, visit www.multicult20.de

(1) Kids' Beds with Under-the-Bed Storage Options: The storage options are of various types including single large pullout drawers, compartmentalized large pullout drawers, multiple small pullout drawers, and open shelves. The drawers and shelves are usually fairly deep to allow for maximum storage opportunities. These are very useful for storing bed sheets, bed covers, pillow covers, blankets, and other bed linen. They can even be used to store toys and other play items used by children.
(2) Beds with Multiple Storage Options: Beds can also be combined with drawers, shelves and cupboards along with under-the-bed storage. For instance, the bed placed against the wall has a cupboard or cupboard-with-drawers-unit attached at the foot of the bed. Such a bed can also have under-the-bed storage as an additional storage option. These are used for bedding, clothes, books, toys and other items. As they are available with multiple compartments, they provide the option of categorized storage.
Another clever idea is to have floating shelves on the empty wall against which the bed is placed. This can be used for keeping storybooks that the child reads before falling asleep each night or while relaxing. This can help children get into the habit of reading and finding pleasure in doing so. As a result, their knowledge and comprehension skills can increase. The habit of reading can also curb too much television and the corresponding ill effects.
(3) Kids' Bunk Beds with Multiple Storage Options: These can be very useful for households with more than one child. These bunk beds can come with under-the-bed storage, drawers, shelves, cupboards, and cupboard-with-drawers-units. The stairs used to connect the beds can also be hidden storage spaces. They can provide categorized storage options to store bedding, clothes, books, toys and other items separately but in one room.
(4) A Chest of Drawers that the Child Can Also Utilize as a Display Unit/Dressing Table: A chest of drawers is always useful as each drawer can be utilized as a separate storage space. But for children, the height should be the same as them so that the top is easily reachable. The top surface of the chest of drawers can be used as a display unit or a dressing table. For the former, specific items can be chosen that include things that a child is particularly fond of. For the latter, a beautiful mirror and a combination of trays, stands, and decorative boxes can be used.
(5) Study Tables Combined with Drawers and Cupboards: These help children to keep all their study-related materials including textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils in one place. They can divide them according to frequency of use and requirement, for instance keeping pens and pencils on their desk. They can keep the other items subject-wise in drawers and cupboards, so that they remain accessible.
These options are available at many online sites including Urban Ladder. The kids bedroom furniture at Urban Ladder is obtainable in many different types, including beds/bunk beds with multiple storage options. The diverse choices available online make it easier for parents to search for the exact options they need. These options help them and their children to keep the house neat and tidy and clutter-free.

Mr. Brainwash – Madonna (36 x 36)
Mr. Brainwash, Madonna (36 x 36) is a unique Silkscreen and Spray Paint on Paper. Mr. Brainwash combines Jean-Baptiste Mondino's 1990 photograph with an earlier portrait by Alberto Tolot to create this beautiful silkscreen. Finishing the work with a flourish of hand painting, the artist presents a visual amalgamation that negotiates representation and abstraction. This silkscreen is signed on the front, and has Mr. Brainwash special signature on the back with thumbprint and serial number. Comes with the official Mr. Brainwash certificate.
In 2009, when Madonna was set to release her greatest hits compilation, "Celebration", she asked Mr. Brainwash to design the cover. He designed 15 different covers for the wide release, singles, DVDs and special edition vinyl. Mr. Brainwash also collaborated with Madonna for her Hard Candy Fitness in Toronto. The Hard Candy Fitness opening featured the live onsite creation of an 11 by 30 foot Madonna mural, designed by Mr. Brainwash.

Category: Mr. Brainwash
Mr. Brainwash was born in France in 1966, and has become one of American's most popular 'street art' artists. Originally a videographer, Mr. Brainwash began his career in 1999 documenting the lives and artwork of various graffiti street artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey. Mr. Brainwash has collected hours of footage often risking his own neck following graffiti artists creating their street art.
Shortly after his initial introduction to Banksy, Mr. Brainwash made the decision to transition from art lover to artist as depicted in the film "Exit Through the Gift Shop". Mr. Brainwash soon graduated from a few hand drawn stickers to making giant sized paste-ups, and his iconic pop graffiti art is now seen on the streets and art galleries of New York and Los Angeles.
The film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" as well as Mr. Brainwash and his relationship with the street artist Banksy is shroud in great controversy and mystery. There has been debate over whether the documentary is genuine or a mockumentary, although Banksy answers "Yes" when asked if the film is real.

Julius Malema once owned a flashy mansion in the uptown suburb of Sandton. To secure the deal, he paid more than half of the R3.6-million purchase price in cash.
Malema and Maine both have flashy houses, but questions were raised over how they managed to buy these mansions. There were allegations that the Gupta family helped Maine to secure his mortgage.
ANCYL distances itself from Collen Maine-Gupta pays mortgage claims.
In 2011, Malema had corruption allegations brought against him due to his secret trust fund. It was alleged that the Ratanang Family Trust had been set up to receive money from politicians and businessmen, allegedly in exchange for facilitating government contracts.
Julius once refused to debate with the DA's Lindiwe Mazibuko, calling her "the Madam's tea girl." This was in reference to her being the "servant" of former DA head Helen Zille.
In 2008, Julius Malema stood up for Jacob Zuma and made the now-infamous "We will kill for Zuma" comment. Although President Zuma now spends more time in Malema's line of fire, we haven't forgotten how willing Juju once was to take up arms for a cause he believed in at the time.
Collen Maine promised to go to war with the EFF after their recent antics in the National Assembly had them forcibly removed. "If they want a fight, they must be given war," said Maine.
That balloon, Gupta blessee of Collen Maine of the ANC YL has once again insulted us & threatened us with violence. We are ready to defend!
Juju and "Oros" (as Maine is not-quite-affectionately known) may be on opposing ends of South Africa's political divide right now, but they have enough in common to make us wonder if the ANC Youth League president factory is using the same mould for all its leaders.
And then remember, it was Julius who anointed journalists "bloody agents".
"We are in a political laboratory; never blame us if we make mistakes, we are [just] learning," Julius said a long, long time ago.

ColorGATE now presents Colorrizer: a new process-optimized coloration software program for industrial digital printing. With Colorrizer, the design and collection development is already done in the working color space of the digital production system so that the process-dependent printer gamuts are taken into account and fully exploited directly in the design process. This procedure optimizes the process from the design to the digital industrial printing production and leads to significant production time and cost savings.
Digital printing methods are now being used more and more frequently in textile printing as well as in the print production of products for interior design, such as curtains, furniture fabrics, rugs, wallpaper and bedding (homeware), to enable smaller print runs and shorter run lengths with changing designs. Approximately 90% of the wall and floor tiles currently produced in Europe already take advantage of digital ceramic printing today. Digital production printing systems are also used increasingly frequently for the decoration of wood and wood-like substrates for the surfaces of furniture and flooring, such as parquet.
For these applications, the new Colorrizer coloration software is able to generate color-ways with a color-accurate preview on the monitor (soft proof) and step-and-repeat patterns. It also simplifies the work and coordination process for everyone involved in the development of the design – from the client to the designer and right on up to the digital printer.
Colorrizer provides designers with highly precise, powerful coloration software, which already defines the appropriate, i.e. maximum, color space for the printing systems used in each production process during the design creation process, e.g. via the import of PDS files from Adobe Photoshop. This also includes an automatic color transformation, which automatically converts colors outside of the color space selected into the best-possible corresponding color within the available color space. It is also possible to import existing color books from Adobe ACB files as well as color data from conventional printing processes, e.g. 1- or 8-bit data, to transfer the color or to assign new colors. Thus, the designer is able to fully exploit the color space available in the production process and any complicated adjustments of the design to the production color space at a later date are avoided.
Colorrizer makes soft proofing, i.e. the evaluation of the design's color trueness on the monitor, very convenient and reliable. In addition to these color-accurate previews on the monitor, it is also possible to print proofs valid for production on paper with sister product Productionserver from ColorGATE, so that the days of "flying color-blind" in design production are over. Furthermore, this RIP and color-management software makes it possible to compare different color spaces, so that the printing results on different printing systems or print results using alternative ink combinations can be simulated. This puts an end to the time-consuming, annoying process of trial and error in the color matching required between the designer and the print producer.
Colorized textile designs or color samples, e.g. of tile or wood surfaces, can be printed on paper to save time and money, while still retaining the same color appearance as the final printed product so that suitable design alternatives can be presented to the client and other potential buyers.
Color-accurate multi-channel coloration – "on-the-fly". In defining color recipes, Colorrizer allows manual changes so that the optimal color results are always achieved, even when different production processes or materials are used. Thus, other process-dependent coloration characteristics, such as the total color quantity for a desired print through, can be taken into account. Each tonal value per color channel can be altered manually or completely suppressed to reduce the number of color separations, for example. In this way, it is possible to optimally align products in terms of their color appearance as well as their functional properties per production technology.
Defining explicit color recipes and their specification in the LAB color model also make it possible to leave designs in a uniform color look-and-feel even when they are used with different production processes, on different materials/substrates or with different func-tions. As a result, all the designs remain uniformly matched to one another, which plays an important role in professional interior design, for example. Colors relevant to branding or corporate identity can be specified reliably and reproduced across different products.
In addition to the color management and soft proof functions, Colorrizer also generates pattern repeats, also known as step-and-repeat patterns. The repeat patterns in production width are generated in Colorrizer, whereby drops can also be used. This data is then processed by the RIP software, e.g. Productionserver, lengthwise down to the last pixel. The printing file created is relatively small and suitable for production purposes, which enhances the productivity of the printing process and simplifies the work of the digital print producer (external or in-house). In addition, output lengths and widths can be freely defined and the output resolution directly adjusted to the digital printing system to be used.
Colorrizer is ColorGATE's latest addition to its software portfolio for digital industrial printing, which provides, in combination with e.g. Ceramic, Décor and Textile Productionserver and the Rapid Spectro Cube (RSC), a full-range solution offer with color management, RIP software and a color measurement device.


There's at least 3 pages' worth with the 1.13 mod — this is counting carbine versions, AK-74s etc. Also there's nothing particularly unusual about Kalashnikov not getting much out of his hugely successful rifle design; John Garand didn't get a huge amount of recognition for providing the US army with the only truly ubiquitous semi-automatic rifle of World War II, and I'm sure there's other examples that have slipped my mind. The military-industrial complex is an extraordinarily ungrateful master.

Transcript for John Ridley discusses his Los Angeles riots documentary 'Let It Fall'
Skidded ABC radio and I have a very talented and gifted man sitting right in front means you're currently how are you. It. I gave I appreciate you use saying that and I sometimes that's hard to take me as I know what a lot of people recognize that pouncing Gibson really. Sharing other people's stores other people's circumstances so I'm I'm happy to be able to do that. And it's very interesting that you see that because you're sharing a very important story right now with the the lead up to the this documentary which is going to be on ABC this Friday 9 PM eastern standard time I love putting that in. Let it fall. Los Angeles. 1980 student in 1992 Q. And I I I know you have a lot going on right now but this documentary he is very important I feel with marking the 25 anniversary. Yeah absolutely I mean it's it's hard to believe that it has been 25 years a quarter century since these events and incidents but at the same time. We really wanted to look at a ten year period. Prior to that it's so we start our story in 1982. With the vans with incidents with people with communities that initially may not seem related. To what people call Rodney King riots but they really are and that's very important as well for people understand that what happened. It wasn't just one night it wasn't because of one thing. But it was something that built up over time. It was an and I think you'd do that very well on I want to delve into that but I also want to know that. It's it's already getting such great feedback this Google apparently it was released unlimited. Locations and people who have seen it already are raving about it because. I think what you're able to do with this particular document or is your allowing. People who the rate varied experience it really tell the narrative. Which I think it's extremely important. It's it's it's very interesting because I am curious as to what that selection process with life. One of the things we wanted to do was not just make it a dry retelling facts. That it's just people who were not connected to the events saying well this happened in the and that happened there's certainly value and that because they're. In the number of incidents that happened I think people are not really the milieu. But beyond that we really wanted to have individuals who personally were involved and decision making processes war events that happen to themselves their family members but that people could speak. To what happened in a very personal way so that there are any number of moments where individuals that you see on screen. Are able to say things like and then. I did this when this happened to me or I'd picked up the phone and am a member was telling me he's got to come on here right away. Because something's happening. The choices that people make the consequences of those choices they're very immediate. And I will say very emotional again it's 25 years later. But there's so many people in this film to telling these stories with the motions as though it was something that happened whom just yesterday. Yet it's from my understanding and also just reading a lot about this in tired docket in exactly what is illegal in to. I read something very interesting to me how long time coming written EU about ten years ago you're gonna working on you had. Are ready kind of put out a script there was something thought about writing flowing. Channel years ago. Spike Lee. Ron Howard Brian greater. They approached me about. Trying through Friday feature length narrative about these events hand obviously. At a new group of individuals like that just wanting to explore. This topic and subject matter unity is in pushes you inspires U to to do the best work that you can and in that time period. To me and my opinion became very evident that the story was very broad based. There were so many community so many individuals. Who were affected were connected. So. Ten years later even though on fortunately in terms of now what people think of as a Hollywood type narrative. This didn't masterly at the mole. Of the words no. Easy heroic narrative there were people who make huge mistakes I mean to say the least. But were not necessarily traditional villains. There were to meet again was very important to show. Many different communities have many different voices. There was a scope and scale and policy put all that together. And it's not a traditional Hollywood film but very fortunately. There was some folks at ABC news Lincoln square productions. Who approach may not knowing that I'd spent ten years. Looking at this material becoming aware of stories. They approach in the title with his this subject matter that you would want to try to squeeze in to the documentary and narrative. And absolutely jump at the chants and even at that in the difference between. The actual marriage of any real documentary where you have to be. On horrific to the facts. But at the same time have animal from the lost is that the story telling the first summit Donna documentary. So the learning curve was very very steep but very fortunately. Because I was working with folks and news division too. This kind of story telling a daily basis were able to talk to people who think. Otherwise would be unwilling to talk to individuals we were able to get our facts straight. But at the same time two way that I think from an audience. There is a velocity there's move away from emotion. That they will get caught up. And I I think that was a really a perfect match in that because you you you seemed to make these connections. Throughout this series and I want people to understand that where you talk about the actual cold air up purse day. And then the baton to use of the baton and other things which I think are very important because. You you kind of present that there are many there's a series of events that were at catalyst. To these riots and I kinda wanna get your prospective dove on. How people can understand these connections when they're able to to watch is document. I think unfortunate history at sometimes. Major events like this they get distilled to a momentary few moments and because that was the beginning of an era and I think a lot of people clearly were warm and who have been born of the last 25 years and it can't imagine a time. When one piece of footage could land. So partially in we're so used to things being recorded instantly and sent around the world. And obviously still an impact but if you can imagine a piece of footage couple pieces of footage. Where it's their introduction into the public space. Just has an outsize impact on people so a lot of people that think of what we call the right thinking rises as the beating Rodney King in the salt on Reginald Denny's and some. In appropriate but some kind of balance to you know black man got beat whiteman the it was terrible but let's move on from that. But there are moments that they're not aware that not aware that he says Mitchell older people like James mintier can't fishing in. Edward Lee. Operation hammer 39 and all all of these moments that did not seem connected. But unfortunately with hindsight you can allow if someone had stepped in at one point and the work community is that were saying look there are things going on. Things that are happening in our community to be that we need to be aware. But unfortunately people did just beat did not connect the dots. And what we wanna do is show people that there is a clause in the fact that we've got to be aware that and other spaces and other places right now. And essentially connecting those dots would you say that. This also lowered this to is not a connection or is a connection to what we're. What we're in now which is the black lies matter movement aero. Specifically. Where you perhaps saying also that this could be that connection to this illnesses where we are today we look at Eric Gardiner and Mitchell cold and we look at other things have happened trade on Martan. Could this be a reflection as far as where we are right now. It Camby they're there obviously similarities. There obviously at least as far as I'm concerned clear systemic issues that continue. But we want to make sure that people view of all of these circumstances it's Los Angeles if it's. What's going on Ferguson Baltimore anywhere else that he gave them their own singular examination because. There are similarities but the people involved the demographics the circumstances. All of them deserved to be approached. In a very singular manner because the solutions. How we engage those are singular as well so I think it's all right for people who say. If something happened something clearly did happen in Los Angeles could happen elsewhere. But I don't think anyone should ever say well you know Los Angeles is Ferguson the issues the people. Those who were caught up in this that they. Deserve to have their own hearing they deserve their own examination and those places they deserve their own solutions because. What needs to happen for every place is very different. So I guess not far from meets asked and you know having feeling that there should be some separation of different hurt him. Would that be your next undertaking perhaps to say because you you have this I feel affinity toward social issues that they are important to people. And I guess people would be saying okay you you've handled this salon I know I'm. Almost confident on on Friday they'll say okay he handles it very well I think I'm Matt. On that perhaps that will be the next undertaking. Because I feel like. This is such a pivotal time in our lives people are yearning for that maybe we'll be done now because Bristol going right this movement but is that something that you can foresee. I'd I don't I can't say right now what I would tackle Max I mean honestly eight months ago I'd I didn't know that it would ever have the opportunity. To bring. The story of the LA uprisings to an audience room with is deepen understanding is I think we were put together but. Whatever it is you know in its. Tummy of people Selva time there's more to the story. But that's the true that there always is more to the story. And I do think in the moment. With the motion. A lot of us get caught up in our own singular. Opinions are viewpoints you know we root for certain outcome as opposed to rooting for justice itself. So if there's an opportunity to go into. A community and really talk to individuals and get them to share their stories I apps Hulu wanna do that I mean if there's any thing. That I've learned over the last few years you know as a younger man and wrote in different spaces a lot of it really was about my opinion I think when I believe. And trying to keep people to pay attention to that. Over the last few years with stores like red tails or twelve years display of American crime. Had seen the value and making it less about what I believe. But creating an apparatus where people have the opportunity to share their stores and share their experiences. And by way of that hopefully other people. How can see themselves in other individuals a little bit more clear. Absolutely. I think you know with. With so much would this be the 25 anniversary and so many different narratives kind of in this space right now. Has any of them I. I'm clearly a fan of what we're presenting today but at at any of them peak dirt and tres have you checked anything else out because I feel like there's so many great people. When he to present business conversation right now has had that been something on your mind to check out. Well I'll be honesty over the last year having worked on American crime having worked on and officers and doing Coca real. Black power movement in London in 1971. Working on let it fall a lot of issue oriented work I think a lot of work that Tom tries beyond terrific two stories. And represent individuals who are not normally represented so I know there are so many stores that are out there. I would love to find that next story or more importantly for me. Is to find a storyteller who I can support whose viewpoints. Experiences background maybe a little bit different than mine. But has a passion for exploring a topic subject matter. That may be outside of my own experience. I think that one of the things that I can do at this point you know I've been blessed to be able to do the things that I do. But who were the people who are still going to be active in storytelling. You know five years from ten years from now long after I'm I may not be working anymore. That's what excites me right now are who are the people. Who can start now but continued in this twenty years from now. Absolutely and and one of the things I I I do have to talk a little bit with you about is he'll. Gorilla because it it is something that I think people are excited about in this sense of of what it's talking. You know what it's getting into parent and you know I I feel like with it there has a lot of conversation and that I wanted a kind of maybe. Give me your thoughts on TV action that I mean just everybody knows it's about the British. Black power movement in 1970. The port of the militant radical is common thing that we're going on. Out the year. But. You know I I saw a video of the screening in the UK and so I. I'm just curious as to what your thoughts were on the feedback that people had an end to so people understand. Some some felt that there was a com sort of be a race a race of black female leads in in guerrilla because. Com I'll. Frieda Pinto who who cleaner he was you know that she took the place of perhaps they thought it would be African American won it. So first of what is your thoughts all line just steamy action or that feedback initially. Well I will say for me it was very surprising that the opportunity to write thinks strong parts for people like the peace in the Congo. Regina. King. Two Emmys so there's sort of a sense for me. Tom win I've done probably as much as I can to include all kinds of people. You have some and I think as you say really emphasizing some people. Who had a problem. Now with. Another individual or another community or some other individual being represented. But I do think that win column people who with. Clearly demonstrate an in and literally it's sad but they have a problem with the representational in racial Koppel which is what the story. At its heart is about. The caller controversy. Is the sort of legitimized. In power. And that means it comes down we have. All kinds of individual corporate doesn't grow. Black people white people black women. Irish individuals. Indian individuals so at some point he tore it to say when you win when one makes an effort. In all spaces to a percent all kinds of individuals and when people. Despite. That representations garnering. Oscars Emmys. That other people have a litmus test and who should be involved I mean honestly just think of any other demographic they said well. And put that person put me. 0% here you know I under stand. Oh. People wanting. Their own person representational but when it comes at the expense. Other individuals then that's not you can. Quick what ever sort of modern. Pop socio political euphemisms. To. Blunt the term is intolerance. And for me personally. Having worked as hard as I can to represent people and having done that and extremely high level. Who really can legitimize the people's. Yes I I eight. I understand and I and I asked this particular question because I feel like there is a little bit of. Hurt. Perhaps that's really what what the under the surface there is that you know. It's it's speaking to that feeling that you have that old you know this is another image that I don't see me and I of course you have a history of representing. That's your come difficulty is when one does have a history and certainly understandings that for me or. For people like myself were very fortunate tell stories at all. On these become their singular. And so people look at the work to. Tell everyone's story be all things to all people and unfortunately they can't. All I can do is try to tells many stores in as many spaces McCain. So rather then. I got one piece of work and say well you know that doesn't serve my needs. Look at the totality of the work and by the way even if that's not good enough at some point if that's. Doesn't fit one's needs you know nobody needs somebody else's permission to go out and tell the stories that you wanna you know I never waited for other people. To represent the things that I wanted to represent. So YouTube you don't need. My permission you don't need anybody's permission we need is encouragement towards that those people who feel dissatisfied. Consider this encouragement you can. You can sit down Twitter you can pick up final draft. You can go write the stories that he wanted to also announces that truly with blue entrance to anyone because I can't tell you how many times I looked at. A TV show or film. In or read a book. Or read graphic novels. And I didn't see the representations. That I want agency and every one of those spaces television film novels graphic novels. Prom rather than just wait for someone else to do that. North wind of that space and represented itself I really don't say it I get it you know some people look at some things in the OK why don't see the thing that I want. And I want to see something else. But for me personally the only two things I can say is cannot. Room than dismissal remove other people. To fit someone else's opinion you know it's a personal a couple of people. I'm but at the same time I would say to him. If you feel that strongly then go right create. Put it in the space the way that you want to see. I definitely feel like that's agree advocacy for people to get up on it and and in also be a voice that they want to hear to sell because I. Vitally important really really do think it's very very important for people to. Not just believe you know I. I say this in I don't say this kidding on the square or trying to be overly self effacing but if I can do it. Anybody know that that you want additional. But here's my thing is you know and you say that very nice and very sincerely but you know even think about it just. Three years ago five years ago the perception that people have of me if it didn't exist the way it does now and 34. Years ago. I started working on film like almost by myself about Jimi Hendrix or twelve years mostly red tails and I did those. And largely. That work the united announced back wasn't being paid it was an about. How much money I was gonna get it was about stories that I felt very important felt very passionately about. Tell me I'm so again you know people saying now well your John Ridley and you know people look at you differently they do but they do because. I was going to write these stories here respectable it was going to write these stories. Because I felt that it was important for people. To see. Home stores like Solomon the story and see stories like the stores has the story of the Tuskegee airman. And have them out there and work on it sound even though there are people so we never gonna tell that stores narco war no one wants to hear. These kinds of things so again the kinds of things that I say to people say them. Really as points of encouragement. So where those labors of love and I mean with it was. Although every one of these stir well I I would. Not self funded but in the sense that I was not being paid to write them nor obviously once they made. There people who came on board. Undertaking a film is is no. Small feat but it does start with the script starts with the idea the words on the page it starts with. And writing something and being reported in front of people and by the way you know a lot of it is rejection improper rejection by if you are. If any myself included if all were waiting for someone OK well see the value and that in use a paycheck. And now we'll work on that that's going to be along it's going to be an incredibly long way. So I think that's what's important by the way for any they don't have to be. Distressed about what piercing. They can look at it. And just go gosh that's terrific but I would like to see this as well Seymour. Like to see representational style. Do you think it's important we understand that. Other people circumstances. Other people's distress what they've been through it all has value and just circling back to. Let it fall and that's 1 of the central tenants. That film. That we're talking about a time and space people did not see themselves people. People did not see the value individuals strong. Problem to have. In need but also there to young people who just sort of count and you put other people's struggle in front of them you know that's a prop it really really years ago. My commitment is to work whether it's American crime let it fall real. That is reflective or circumstances. Understanding. Our human capacities. And building and apparatus for delivering empathy even in the race the people's. We have to go hey I just want to touch with your body of work because I think it's all amazing. To me. Because you're the writer of some of my favorites it comes back and and talking about you know you're writing from right now France. French presidents of Bel Air I mean. And the barbershop. Theories. And so shall I race that clearly by Martin and I records and other top about you know reboot which is happy is very exciting since there era. An and the funny thing is I remember undercover brother as well well. But you've done typing. Leaned in 88 Heston to kind of who you are. Because you see the documentary out annual seated as well and so. Actually laugh about this. Tires. Oh. It is there was you know really wonderful series that we did it was the early days. They. Small network called you -- at that time which I think has now become CW. But it was a neat this is gonna sound craze was familiar but it was about it. Family that was working and music industry's net com and all kinds. Interpersonal issues but. We're trying to do the best thing that they could put the music that they look now. Another show on right now. But this is I guess it was in about 2003. It was amazing to work on. Really phenomenal rate of talent. As well as the Coppola's producers France. Dollars. Via I was. A producer on the show and was actually the first time. Direct the televisions well Souza real learning experience for me. So it was fun to do you know I I wish we could have done more and more of wisdom. You know there was was enough of and moved from removed from that when plan when impart did happen you know actually appreciated appreciate. That somebody Figo waited two put this really interest story analyst put it on television find a way to make it comic show. It was like empire original and then this is like yeah. Yeah it's I saw that connection and now know what I had to ask Cuba and of course because. Now is are we really wonderful shall organ was I cannot tell you how much. Fun it was to do Tom how great the cast was. For mean one of the early shows were I was right or executive producer which. You really you know learn how to that's like running a business of running a small business so the opportunity there and the opportunity to work with individuals like. The Coppola's you know things that I learn. Things that I took away from just. I've probably would not be sitting here talking to you prepare for that show and honestly. Martin shows while preference in the opportunities. For. In a young black kids. Back in the day that would who were not nearly as many are still not nearly enough. But to work on shows like that that were so incredibly entertaining. So will were on hand and arm as he says people today remember though shows. He and I know we have to go one last thing we do you probably can't talk about it's we might have ended here I'm hearing that you're working on something in the marvel universe. Clearly you have to say something and I understand you down. All the concerns. We're hearing that the throw. Out. Well at the mysteries or type are. It's everything and everything in the marvel universe is a mystery until. Or. At app but I think he's much for. Me. And it's really it's. All the things into. That Q. And clean line.

5 Lawyer Quotes we loved from 2009
December 27th, 2009. By AbiK
Memorable, thought-provoking, grounded in principle—and one that capped off an emotional trial in New Orleans and marked a victory long overdue—the following are some quotes from attorneys we interviewed in 2009…(in no particular order)…
1. Ron Goldman, Baum, Hedlund Aristei & Goldman:
On plane crash lawsuits…
"The ultimate objective of every member of the plaintiff's aviation bar that I know who regularly handles aviation cases, is to reveal the dangers in aircraft and in the aviation system to enhance the safety of aviation," Goldman says. "That's our major objective. It's not just about getting an award for the plaintiffs, it's about making aviation safer."
2. Michael Levine: RappaportGlassGreen & Levine:
On personal injury lawsuits…
"I always tell my clients, just tell it like it is," says Levine. "I have told my clients two and a half million times that there is no substitute for the truth. The truth never hurts you."
3. Andrew Stoltmann, Stoltmann Law Offices:
On stockbrokers who pilfer money from their clients…when it comes to arguing his case to recover money, Stoltmann says he goes down his four-letter checklist (aka "SCUM"):
S – was the investment suitable for the client given their age and risk tolerance
C – was the investor's account churned or repeatedly rolled over in order to earn fees for the broker
U – were the trades and changes in the account unauthorized
M – were the risks and type of investment misrepresented to the client
On the stockbrokers themselves: "How can they sleep at night?" says Stoltmann. "They sleep very nicely in their mansions."
4. Joseph M. Bruno, the Law Office of Joseph M. Bruno:
On the federal court ruling that the Army Corp of Engineers which built the canal linking New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico, was to blame for the catastrophic flooding that followed Hurricane Katrina…
"The people of New Orleans are vindicated," said Bruno before a throng of media representatives. "They (the Army Corps of Engineers) can no longer hide behind an immunity. It is time for the people of this city to be compensated."
5. Norah Hart, Treuhaft & Zakarin:
On the high percentage of Match.com profiles that were allegedly still shown as "reachable" even though the profiles did not belong to active subscribers…
"A simple analogy is—I sell you a six pack of ginger ale and two of the cans are empty," says Hart. "If I sold you six cans and you believe that all six are the same, but they are not. Four of them are what you are looking for and two of them are empty—now how do you feel about that?"

Roam Free | Patoa Farms - providers of delicious, free-farmed pork.
A happy pig is a free pig – which is why our Sows run freely, outdoors in paddocks like sheep or beef cattle. Each paddock has its own supply of fresh clean water and somewhere for the sows to find shelter in poor weather.
All the pigs are fed on a grain based balanced diet that is ground up and then palletised into small nuts that the pig can eat. At no stage are any pigs fed on food waste. The main ingredients in the diet are wheat, broll, meat meal, fishmeal, and other vitamins and minerals that are required to give the pig the ideal diet for its stage in life.
When a Sow is ready to give birth she will be transferred to a different paddock where there are a number of small huts. Here she can choose which hut she wants to give birth in and once she has "claimed" a hut for herself she will raise her piglets in the same hut for her entire lactation period.
Once the piglets are old enough to be weaned they are separated from their mother and placed into our eco barns. These barns are large, open plan buildings with deep straw covered floors. Each day fresh straw is added to keep the bedding clean and dry for the pigs to sleep on. Over time the bedding straw builds up and must be removed once the pigs have been sold. This system of production provides a warm, dry and comfortable area for the pigs to live in and move around before they reach slaughter weight for market.


Sea Watch® makes enjoying seafood simple and fun! Tender clams from the cold North Atlantic bring the delicious taste of the sea to your table. Sustainably harvested by generations of local fishermen, our tender breaded clam strips, seasoned with sea salt and cracked pepper, deliver a savory, crispy finish! Oven-baked or fried, they're ready in minutes for tasty snacks, to fill hearty clam rolls, or as a delicious protein on your healthy salad. Of course you could bake them in the oven but they never had that awesome combination of Tender and Crispy that you get from the old deep fryer. Now you can get that tender crispy crunch from the oven. Through Sea Watch's revolutionary process, the performance of the Oven Ready Sea Salt & Black Cracked Pepper Clam Strip has equaled that of a fried product and in some cases been preferred.
Sea clams have been under federal management since 1977 and is considered by many to be one of the best-managed fisheries in the world.
Cook until an internal temperature of 170˚F is achieved.
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Place frozen strips in a single layer on baking sheet lined with crumpled aluminum foil. Bake uncovered for 8-10 minutes.
Fry from frozen at 350˚F for 60 seconds.
Microwave is not recommended. Do not refreeze.
Ingredients: Sea clam meat and sea clam juice, wheat flour, water, yellow corn flour, salt, wheat starch, sugar, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), spices, yeast, guar gum, nonfat milk, eggs, spice extractives, sodium tripolyphosphate (to retain moisture), modified cellulose, enzymes, dextrose, yeast extract.


One of the most memorable moments of General Conference for me was the moment when Sister Elaine S. Dalton talked about the scripture written under the pulpit.
Her husband was the contractor in charge of laying the carpet in the Conference Center the week before the first General Conference in that building would be held. He was about to lay the last piece of carpet ––under the historic pulpit. Brother Dalton called Sister Dalton and asked, "What scripture should I write on the back of this carpet?"
She replied, "Mosiah 18:9...Stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places."
At the time she had no idea that she would be called as the Young Women's President of the Church, or that she would stand at that very pulpit and teach the Young Women of the Church what it meant to Stand as a Witness.
In that moment she simply shared with her husband a scripture that had meaning.
...with no idea for the meaning it would have in a future moment in her life.
1. Are there scriptures that I love in my life right now that might play an important role in my life in the future?
2. Am I immersed in my scriptures enough right now to be able to find those scriptures?
3. Has that experience ever happened to me?
I have spent this whole week thinking about those three questions. Then, on Saturday I discovered a partial answer to question number three.
In November I began a study of a scripture found in Isaiah 55:8-9. It reads, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." It is the theme scripture for TOFW this year, a conference for which I am a speaker.
Because of that, for the last few months my focus has been directed toward what it means to live higher, to think higher, and to believe higher.
I have tried to experience reaching moments that would allow me to understand this lesson.
I pictured Heaven's rain, that watereth the earth, bringing forth buds. I know we saw that happen in Garett's life as he was preparing for this mission.
I watched the Lord's promises for Garett unfold before my eyes...and I knew what it meant when the Lord said, "it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
For just a moment I all of the sudden knew exactly what the Lord meant when He said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts."
His thoughts are higher. His ways are higher.
Far better than anything I could anticipate or think on my own.
My heart filled with joy as I realized exactly what that scripture I have been studying since November meant in this moment of my life.
And I thought of a young boy whose life has been filled with thorns.
A boy who went out on Wednesday with joy, and who will be led forth with peace.
By a Father whose thoughts are higher.
How would you answer these three questions?

Q: get 502 bad gateway error when calling a webservice In my SEAM web application running under JBOSS-AS 4.2.3 there is a plain SOAP message call to a webservice, using SOAPConnection.call().
The call ends up with a
org.jboss.remoting.CannotConnectException: Can not connect http client invoker. Invalid HTTP server response [502] - Bad Gateway.
Running the same code outside the JBOSS as a pure java application all works fine.
So question: Is there something in JBoss I have to configure that makes things work ?

Thoughts from the Underground
Tag: Israel
New York Jewish Film Festival, 2022
From January 12-25, 2022, The Jewish Museum and Film at Lincoln Center are delighted to continue their partnership to bring you the 31st annual New York Jewish Film Festival, presenting films from around the world that explore the Jewish experience.
Thanks to the magic of the internet, I got to attend this festival online for the first time. Thanks to work schedules and whatnot, I only watched 3 films. Despite my love of film festivals, yet limited film viewing, I was quite impressed with how many films, and even TV shows, there were to experience.
One thing I neglected to do was watch and pay attention to all of the Q&As. Usually Q&As follow film screenings, when they're held in person, so all you have to do is remain in your seat. This time, I was just happy I was able to make time to watch the films.
Anyway, here are the 3 films I watched, in the order I watched them, plus some additional thoughts and details about the films.
With No Land (2021)
In May 1991, 15,000 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel in less than 24 hours' time. Known as Operation Solomon, this covert mission coordinated by the Israeli military saw the birth of eight babies en route and set the world record for the most passengers on a single aircraft. History regards the endeavor as an unqualified triumph, but 30 years later, the full story is being told. Aalam-Warqe and Kobi Davidian delve into the details that have been suppressed for all this time, and explore the desperate but motivated measures taken by Jewish Ethiopian activists in Israel, North America, and their country of origin. Archival footage and firsthand accounts of participants lend nuance to a story heretofore viewed as black and white, supplemented by accounts of recent efforts to finally relocate to Israel those whom Operation Solomon left behind.
Directors: Aalam-Warqe Davidian, Kobi Davidian
Languages: English, Amharic, Hebrew
Film page: https://virtual.filmlinc.org/film/with-no-land/
I'm not sure I knew much about the history of these events prior to watching the film. Although the summary of the film is about the 1991 airlift, much of the film goes into events that happened prior to that — about the Ethiopian Jews who had been allowed into Israel earlier than 1991, how families were split up, how some were reunited — and how Israel refused to accept Ethiopians despite their religion.
There was also a historical account of the political and military situation within Ethiopia, and how other countries and NGOs explicitly or secretly cooperated with the plans to relocate Jewish Ethiopians. Some had fled to Sudan while others remaining in Ethiopia were stuck between two fighting contingents — which seem to have renewed their conflict recently, again, if it ever went away.
But a very interesting film and I'm glad I learned more about it. There is definitely more information about Operation Solomon to be found online.
Here's a 5-minute video from the BBC:
Operation Solomon: Airlifting 14,000 Jews out of Ethiopia via BBC "Witness" https://www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-36357423
Click through to watch the first-hand account from someone who, at age 11, was airlifted out of Ethiopia as part of Operation Solomon. The witness describes his experience, and also talks about issues of assimilation between his and his parents' generation.
Cinema Sabaya (2021)
Nine women of divergent backgrounds enroll in a video production seminar that promises to teach the fundamentals of filmmaking. These residents of Hadera, Israel are Jewish and Arab, observant and secular, ensconced in all manner of domestic arrangements, with life spread out before some of them and regarded by others in hindsight. Strangers to one another (one of the Jewish attendees has never interacted with Arabs until now), the students share the common goal of self-expression through their cameras, with Tel Aviv–based filmmaker Rona (Dana Ivgy, acclaimed star of Or and Zero Motivation) supplying instruction. Orit Fouks Rotem casts her debut feature with a mix of seasoned and nonprofessional actors, all shooting their own footage and viewing their colleagues' work for the first time on screen. Sparked by former workshop leader Rotem's personal experiences, Cinema Sabaya presents a deft and never didactic portrait of art's capacity to unite disparate communities.

Other Israeli Film Festival
(The official trailer is Unlisted on YouTube.)
Director: Orit Fouks Rotem
Languages: Hebrew, Arabic
Film page: https://virtual.filmlinc.org/film/cinema-sabaya/
The description seems provocative, like maybe this will be a story about Arabs and Israelis. Instead, the story was much more about the lives of the women, how free they felt at expressing themselves, and the support they gave each other while revealing sensitive aspects of their lives.
For instance, one of the Israeli women seems at first grating and displays, maybe, this "toxic positivity" I've been reading about. She seems overly positive, very smiling…until she reveals that she hasn't really interacted with an Arab person. She said, during the suicide bombings in Israel (before the wall), she crossed the street whenever she saw an Arab person. Later, during the course of sharing her filming assignments, it turns out her home life is not as positive as she appears to be. Her husband is withdrawn, likely suffering from PTSD. Her daughter doesn't want to engage with her, and so forth.
Another woman tells the group she has had to move herself and her children back in with her mother after leaving her husband. Her dream is to buy an apartment. During one of her video assignments, it's revealed that she and her kids are living in a single bedroom with all the stuff she was able to grab when she quickly left her husband. It's a very crowded and cramped room, and clearly not a place where she or her children can thrive.
In another instance, a Muslim Arab woman, with 6 children, shares her dream of getting a driver's license so that she doesn't have to rely on her husband so much. Later in the film, the group role plays and acts out scenes where they pretend they're confronting someone in their life about whatever dream they have. This woman plays herself and another woman plays her husband, and seems to accurately portray his dominant role in their marriage and her life. The Muslim Arab woman essentially gives up the argument when her partner declares, role-playing her husband, that he has decided she doesn't need a license and he's made up "his" mind. The rest of the group tries to encourage her to continue and just pretend, and to say what she feels even if she wouldn't say it in real life. In a cathartic moment, she reveals that she regrets ever meeting her husband or marrying him at all. She reveals that she hates that he touches her, hinting at sexual aggression within the marriage. It's clear she holds in her feelings of contempt for her husband. When the other woman tries to push her a little bit, to "give her courage", the Muslim Arab loses her composure and attacks the woman by pushing her down, and then runs out of their community center. She disappears for the next few sessions, only to reappear on the day when they receive their completion certificates.
I felt it was a very interesting story about the motivations and, not spectacular, but plain dreams of women, and how their wants are withheld or thwarted often by the men in their lives or by expectations for women to support or be the center of the family.
Shtetlers (2020)
An invaluable record of tight-knit communities that endured genocide and shifting political regimes, Shtetlers offers a glimpse at the small Jewish towns ("shtetls") dotting the former Soviet Union—towns where for many years Yiddish continued to be spoken and ancient rituals dutifully observed. Located on the fringes of the territory, in what are now Ukraine and Moldova, these villages that withstood the Holocaust managed to abide by supplying non-Jewish neighboring towns with goods and services. Director Katya Ustinova examines nine former shtetl inhabitants, now spread out across the world, and solicits their memories of a resilient but ultimately vanishing way of life. Ustinova's documentary serves as an elegy for these once numerous strongholds of tradition and culture, but also, by archiving the recollections of those who experienced them firsthand, preserves them.

For this film, I did watch the Q&A, because I started writing this before the film expired for my account. And I got to hear a little more about the background of the film. Sadly, I learned everyone in the film has passed away, except for one person. (Most of the people were elderly and I believe it some of the footage goes back to 2015.)
On a positive note, the director revealed that there was Instagram account for the film, with additional animations and video not used in the film, so there's more film to explore.

Ending Thoughts
As I mentioned above, it was my first time participating in this film festival. I think Film at Lincoln Center tends to host many types of film festivals, so I'll try to pay more attention from now on.
There seemed to be something like 30 films, both online and in-person. The festival must have been fairly popular because many of the online films sold out or expired before I could watch them.
The line-up of online films seemed like a really nice mix. For instance, they had at least one option of short films ("Shorts"), which I often enjoy, but I didn't watch any this time.
Anyway, definitely recommend watching any of the three films above, if the chance arises. In the meantime, I'll take note for next year's festival and onward to the next!

"Clearly unfounded" certificates: the shape of things to come?
kittyfallson 15 June, 2016 /0 comments
Is the Home Office "certifying" more human rights claims lately?
Most categories of immigration application no longer attract a right of appeal in the UK, relying instead on the potentially self-serving "administrative review" process. Human rights and protection appeals can still be put before the Tribunal, but the appeal can only be brought inside the UK if it has not been certified by the Secretary of State as being "clearly unfounded".
It used to be the case that certification was used rarely, usually in repeated or ostensibly frivolous claims.
It now seems to be appearing regularly, as a matter of course at the end of a refusal letter. The Home Office appears to take the view that a failure to meet the Immigration Rules means automatically that your application is "clearly unfounded". Obligations to consider whether there is an arguable case outside the Rules, or to take into account children's best interests, are brushed aside as having been "carefully considered" but not being exceptional enough.
The test for whether a claim is "clearly unfounded" is not simply that it is unlikely to succeed, or that it is weak. It must be "bound to fail" before the Tribunal, and this is an objective test.
In very many cases, the certification is clearly wrong, contrary to the law and even to the Home Office's own guidance. A challenge to the certificate may well succeed, and allow for a Tribunal hearing with the appellant present within the UK.
The problem is that the immediate effect of certification is to make the applicant a person with no apparent right to be in the UK: vulnerable to dismissal, loss of driving licence, harassment by Capita, and ultimately detention and removal. Challenging the certificate requires an application for Judicial Review, a process by some measure more expensive and less user-friendly than the Tribunal appeals system, and putting applicants at risk of legal costs.
It's a cynical policy that will deter people from getting access to justice. It's also a warning of what's to come when "remove first appeal later" is applied to all immigration claims under the Immigration Act 2016.

Once More With Feeling: Loves Jazz & Arts Center back from hiatus
May 5, 2011 leoadambiga	Leave a comment Go to comments
The Loves Jazz & Arts Center has been one of Omaha's little-known gems among arts-cultural organizations and venues. Its programming has been consistently engaging. But the organization has also been held back by certain deficiencies and challenges that have kept people away and prevented it from realizing its potential. Named in honor of Omaha's late great jazz and blues man, Preston Love St., the center has also suffered from an identity crisis – never quite figuring out what its specific mission is and thus being diminished by trying to be all things to all constituencies rather than focusing on a few things it can do at a high level. After an unexplained dormancy or hiatus period, during which time I heard all kinds of speculation about problems at the center and I could not get anyone from the center to explain the situation, I finally managed to speak with the two men currently working on revitalizing the center. Ernest White and Tim Clark seem to have a good sense for what the organization should be – an art gallery that celebrates Omaha's jazz heritage and black culture. My story for The Reader (www.thereader.com) that follows is based on the recent interview I did with these men.
Once More With Feeling, Loves Jazz & Arts Center back from hiatus
Appeared in The Reader (www.thereader.com)
Rumors about the impending demise of a north Omaha cultural institution began flying last fall when Loves Jazz & Arts Center, 2510 N. 24th St., took an extended break from normal operations.
Even the hint of trouble alarmed the African American community and city-county officials, who view LJAC as a linchpin for an envisioned 24th and Lake revival. The North Omaha Development Project, the Empowerment Network and others target the area as a potential cultural-tourism district.
The reports, while dead wrong, were not unreasonable given that during a nine-month hiatus LJAC made no announcement concerning why it ceased exhibitions and programs. Or why it was open only by appointment and for rental. It turns out the inactivity was not due to financial crisis as some feared; rather, the staff and board undertook a funder-prompted and strategic planning and building process.
LJAC also underwent an audit, which board chair Ernest White says "came out clean." The result of it all, White said, is a restructured and refocused organization whose makeover is in progress. For the first time in months LJAC is regularly open to the public, presenting gallery displays and live music events.
White could have quelled negative speculation by offering an explanation through traditional or social media. The American National Bank vice president chose silence, he says, to distance LJAC from the rumor mill that dogged the nearby Great Plains Black History Museum.
While questions went unanswered about its dormancy, LJAC participated with other nonprofits in the Omaha Community Foundation's capacity-building initiative. White says the monthly sessions, led by OCF consultant Pete Tulipana, critically examined staffing, administration, memberships and programs.
White says no funding was withheld as a stick for LJAC to undergo the review, though some funds are "pending" its compliance with recommended changes. (The LJAC would not identify any specifics in terms of pending funds.)
Understaffed and under-funded since its 2005 opening, LJAC hurt itself, White says, by doing a poor job marketing, not signing up members, keeping inconsistent hours and, on at least two occasions, losing approved grant money by failing to file required paperwork.
"There were some things not done, there were some inefficiencies," he says. "We need to do a better job, we need to be open when we say we're going to be open, we need to be accessible, and those are things I think we're already a long ways to fixing."
Despite "great" exhibits and programs, White says few people knew of them.
The review process, he says, is "brutally honest — here's your strengths, here's your weaknesses. They make you do a 10-year plan. They challenge you." The need for a seasoned administrator led White to ask Neville Murray, executive director since LJAC's inception, to relinquish that role and remain as curator. When Murray declined, White appointed Omaha entrepreneur Tim Clark as interim executive director.
Clark, who assumed the post in April, says board development is a major priority. He's looking for board members "to serve in three areas — advocacy, policy and fund raising. We really need to focus more on getting individuals on the board who can help with the fund development. In these very challenging times fund raising is an every day deal. It has to be a board-executive director partnership, and you have to have individuals who have some reach — the capacity to give and go get. They've got to have access to dollars."
"This place needs money," says Clark, "and every single board member has to step up and do their part. You can't ask anybody else to help you if your board is not helping."
The LJAC board continues to be in flux.
Efforts going forward, says Clark, revolve around "trying to retool, build the infrastructure for capacity, for sustainability long term." He says, "The strategy now will be more looking at how do we build partnerships with school systems, getting more youth involved. We've brought on Janet Ashley as program director to help look at our Loves Art School and partnering with targeted elementary schools this summer."
White says funders want the center to do more educational programming and stay on mission as an art gallery that celebrates black culture and jazz music.
"When people give us money," says Clark, "we've got to give them a return on their investment. They can hold us accountable — we've just got to live up to expectations."
He says LJAC's securing sponsors and strategic partners to help it realize its potential as a public attraction.
"I think we have a product and a story to tell. We just have to be better at telling that story. We have to be more proactive. I think we're positioned now to move forward. I'm excited about its future possibilities. I think if we're successful it stimulates everything around us.
"Have we made some mistakes? Yes, we have. We have some challenges before us. It's not going to be a cakewalk, but we're going to roll up our sleeves and tackle them."
Acknowledging the center's transitional mode, Clark says, "We're open for business, but we're not making a big splash of that until we know we can sustain that. We want to do the work within first. We want to be whole."
"We want to be viable," adds White.
LJAC's new Jazz Fridays series launches May 6, from 5 to 8 p.m., with For the Occasion. Two new exhibits are in the works. For more information, call 402-502-5291.

The DTX-5000 Signal Conditioner Series provides up to 64 channels of state-of-the-art signal processing in a compact (5U) chassis. Using hybrid mixed-signal technology, high-performance analog circuitry is combined with Digital Signal Processing to give gain accuracy performance previously available only in larger customized modules. A simple-to-use graphical user interface running under the Windows 2000 operating system allows for ease of setup and either local or remote operation as a network-based instrument node. The suite of conditioner modules include a strain amplifier with internal bridge completion, a general-purpose instrumentation amplifier with selectable AC or DC coupling, a linearized thermocouple amplifier with cold-junction compensation, a frequency-to-voltage converter with dual inputs for direction sensing, and an ICP accelerometer amplifier with constant-current excitation.
Modular design using separate fully shielded four-channel modules with isolated power supplies reduces noise and allows for interchange of module types within a single chassis. During system design, special attention was given to reducing noise and improving reliability. All signal input and output connections are made directly from the external connector to the module backplane, and from there directly to the module. This eliminates long input cables and additional interface connectors that can pick up noise or become intermittent. The 6-layer backplane board includes large areas of ground plane to reduce noise pickup. Isolated power supplies are included on each module to separate the signal grounds from the digital ground. And all the module electronics are housed in rugged, shielded enclosures. Good temperature stability is obtained by doing the majority of signal processing in the digital realm, where temperature drift has no effect. In the analog circuitry that does exist, premium stability components are used to keep gain or offset drift to a minimum.
Using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer hardware (Pentium processor) and a standard operating system ensures compatibility with future technology trends and facilitates product maintenance. A standard 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface is provided for network-based operation, and PC-compatible keyboard, monitor and mouse ports are available for standalone operation.
The actual circuitry inside each module type varies, but they all share a common design approach. The input signal is first amplified to a usable level, and is then converted to a digital signal using a high-speed 16-bit Analog-to-Digital converter. This allows all gain correction and filtering to be done digitally, thereby improving system accuracy and stability. A Digital Signal Processor (one for each channel) uses stored offset and gain calibration factors to correct the digitized data values, and performs the requested low-pass filtering. The DSP also compares the signal level to user-specified limits, and sets the color and brightness of the front-panel Signal LED accordingly. After signal processing has been completed, the digital value is converted back to an analog voltage by a high-speed 16-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter. A four-pole low-pass filter removes the digitizing steps in the reconstructed signal, along with any high-frequency noise, and an output buffer provides up to 50 mA of signal current to the output load.
Each module also includes separate programmable Excitation Voltage generator for each channel (Excitation Current in the case of the ICP accelerometer conditioner). A power buffer is used to provide up to 100 mA of load current, and a sense circuit monitors and corrects the excitation voltage (or current) value in real time to compensate for fluctuating load conditions. Good temperature stability is obtained by doing the majority of signal processing in the digital realm, where temperature drift has no effect. In the analog circuitry that does exist, premium stability components are used to keep gain or offset drift to a minimum.
High accuracy is obtained in the 5000 Signal Conditioners by implementing a unique end-to-end calibration scheme. A precision programmable voltage generator is connected to the input of each channel, and two calibration voltages (0V and approximately 80% of full-scale input) are applied during system calibration. These voltages are amplified by the input stage, converted by the A/D, processed by the DSP, converted back to analog by the D/A, filtered by the output filter, and then measured by a high-accuracy 24-bit A/D converter. The input and output voltages are compared, and system gain and offset correction values are computed and saved in the DSP memory. When data is being collected, these correction factors are applied to each data point in real time, resulting in a system accuracy better than ±0.05% of full-scale.
Careful attention was given to providing a meaningful front panel display of signal level and system status that wasn't confusing to the operator. With 64 channels being displayed simultaneously, it can be easy to miss a channel error in a field of flickering lights. The 5000 Signal Conditioner uses just two LEDs per channel to display a variety of status conditions and signal levels. Various normal functions are indicated by varying the flashing rate or intensity of green LEDs. But system errors or signal overloads are immediately flagged by changing the appropriate LED color to red, causing that channel to instantly stand out from the rest.
The control software display includes a summary view of the status of all 64 channels, essentially a copy of the chassis front panel, a spreadsheet view of the parameter settings for each module, and a detailed block-diagram view of the settings for each channel. Two dedicated LEDs per channel give instant feedback of channel status and signal level, warning the user of overload or other potential error conditions.


territories including Canada, the U.S. and the UK. Ten new episodes of Season 8 will debut on Netflix this year. The service also will offer all past seasons of the show and debut three stand-alone specials and two new features, Trailer Park Boys 3: Don't Legalize It and Swearnet, which will come to the service following their theatrical premieres this year. Trailer Park Boys stars John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells and Mike Smith as denizens of the Sunnyvale Trailer Park, whose misadventures are based in friendship, family and loyalty – but those values are hidden behind a façade of gunfights, dope, liquor and swearing. It aired in more than a dozen countries including the U.S. (on BBC America and via DirecTV), Australia, the UK, Spain, Germany and Scandinavia. Trailer Park Boys: The Movie, also known as The Big Dirty and Trailer Park Boys, was in released in Canada in 2006, and later in the U.S. in 2008. It's become a cult film since then. A second film, Countdown to Liquor Day, was released in Canada in 2009.

HIV infections continue to fall in UK thanks to testing and treatment
UK efforts to end the HIV epidemic by 2030 are advancing, but challenges remain around reaching those undiagnosed and those diagnosed late.
New HIV infections continue to fall year-on-year in the UK, driven largely by a dramatic fall in new infections among men who have sex with men. In a new report, HIV in the UK: towards zero HIV transmissions by 2030, Public Health England reveals a 73% decline in incident HIV infections in this group, from 2,300 in 2014 to 800 in 2018.
HIV incidence among all populations in the UK peaked in 2014 at 6,278 new infections but has since fallen to 4,453 new infections in 2018. Reduced infections among white gay and bisexual men living in London have contributed most to the decline, but new infections have also fallen by half in the last decade among heterosexual men and women – from 3,400 in 2009 to 1,940 in 2018. In this group, people living in London, people aged 25 to 34 years, people of black African ethnicity and those born abroad have experienced significant drops in rates of HIV infections.
In 2018, 51% of new infections were reported among men who have sex with men, 19% were among men reporting heterosexual sex as a probable route of transmission, 25% were among women reporting heterosexual sex, and 2.5% were among people who inject drugs. Of note, the proportion of people diagnosed aged 50 years or over increased from 13% in 2009 to 21% in 2018.
The report notes that the turnaround is the result of increased access to HIV testing, early and timely initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART), and increased access to innovative technologies, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
Dr Noel Gill, Head of STIs and HIV at Public Health England, said: "Testing is a key part of the UK's success, if you have HIV you can benefit from life-saving treatments that also prevent further transmission of the virus. Certain groups of people are at higher HIV risk and are advised to have regular tests, including men and women who have had unprotected sex with new or casual partners from countries where HIV is common, who should test every year, and men who have sex with men."
The goal of eliminating HIV transmission by 2030 depends upon sustaining prevention efforts and further expanding them to reach all at risk. In 2018, there were 7,500 people living with HIV who were unaware of their status, and 2 in 5 of those diagnosed in 2018 were diagnosed at an already late stage of infection. Late diagnosis results in a ten-fold increase in the risk of death in the year following treatment initiation, compared to those who are diagnosed early and start treatment immediately.
Populations most likely to be diagnosed late include black African men (65%), white men who acquired HIV heterosexually (59%), people aged over 50 years (59%) and people who inject drugs (58%).
Two years ago, the UK met the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target nationally with over 90% of people living with HIV being diagnosed, over 90% of those diagnosed being on treatment and over 90% of those on treatment having an undetectable viral load. Of the 103,800 people living with HIV in the UK in 2018, 93% were diagnosed, 97% of people diagnosed were receiving treatment and 97% of people receiving treatment were virally suppressed. What's more, in 2018 London became the first city in the world to reach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets.
Dame Inga Beale, Chair of the HIV Commission said that the latest HIV statistics show real promise but also highlight challenges that remain if we are to end HIV transmission by 2030.
"We must look at what's working well and how these successes can be further capitalised on, as well as thoroughly investigating how to tackle persistently high rates of late diagnosis and ensure the decline in new diagnoses is felt across all groups impacted by the epidemic. Progress that leaves some people behind is not progress at all."

INDIA WELCOMES FDI IN MULTI-BRAND RETAIL
The much awaited news arrived on a Friday, hopefully, ending a protracted controversy. The Indian Government opened its economy to FDI in multi-brand retail on September 14, 2012, subject to specific conditions. At the end of 2011, the Cabinet had approved a proposal to introduce FDI in this sector which was rolled back due to protests by numerous political parties. Following an exhaustive consultative process with the state governments, the Government has now re-introduced the proposal with certain modifications to increase its acceptability to various stakeholders.
(a). Foreign investors can establish operations only in those states which support FDI in multi-brand retail. As on date, certain states including Delhi, Assam, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Manipur support this move to liberalize the sector.
(b). The retail outlets must be set up in cities with a population of more than 1 million (as per the 2011 Census). In states with no such cities, the outlets may be set up in the city of choice, preferably the largest city. This is to ensure that the impact of the proposal is contained to urban areas, without any adverse impact on the rural areas.
(c). At least 50% of the FDI has to be for backend infrastructure which includes capital expenditure on all activities, excluding that on front-end units, land cost and rentals. The Government has fixed a three year timeframe for setting up the back-end infrastructure which will include investment made towards processing, manufacturing, distribution, design improvement, quality control, packaging, logistics, storage, ware-house, agriculture market produce infrastructure etc.
(d). Minimum 30% procurement should be from Indian small industries.
The nuances are still to be worked out. To that end, the Government will constitute a high-level group under the Minister of Consumer Affairs to study various issues concerning internal trade and shall make suitable recommendations.
The Government needed to give a fillip to reforms and by revoking its end 2011 suspension in this sector has definitely sent a positive signal by allowing multi-brand retail. Of course, the discretion lies on the state governments for effective implementation. The states will have to work together with all the stakeholders and ensure that the reforms do not remain mere rhetoric but are converted into reality, while balancing the interests of the rural businesses. It will not be easy but is definitely attainable.
