Kona traffic is a nightmare.
The former is a statement of opinion and not fact, but it's also one so pervasively held throughout the district that its veneer of subjectivity peels away with each passing day to reveal more and more of an objective truth underneath.
With the Queen Kaahumanu Highway widening project finally complete, freshman Sen. Dru Kanuha (D-Kona, Ka'u) has introduced a measure to ease traffic along another of Kona's primary thoroughfares — Kuakini Highway.
More precisely, Senate Bill 1517 seeks to relieve the bottleneck where the two highways merge and become a state road by widening the roughly 1.7-mile stretch of Kuakini Highway between the intersections at Lako Street and Kamehameha III Road.
The federal government altered its priorities toward maintenance and safety of existing roadways rather than the construction of new ones, Kanuha explained. The state followed suit, not wanting to jeopardize current and future federal funding opportunities.
Hawaii considers the work Kanuha is proposing on Kuakini Highway as the construction of a new road because to do so will require the acquisition of right of ways.
Kanuha believes, however, the project proposal to eliminate one of Kona's most frustrating pinch points can be viewed in multiple ways.
"To me, it's a safety issue because the amount of traffic that moves through that area," he said.
Rush hour is a misnomer on Kuakini and Queen Kaahumanu highways because it typically causes traffic jams lasting several consecutive hours in the mornings and the evenings, which often extend from South Kona through the north end of Kailua Village and beyond.
Kanuha said he originally wanted to propose widening the entire corridor from Nani Kailua Drive to Kamehameha III Road.
However, he ultimately felt breaking it up into smaller segments might allow for a more immediate impact to traffic that's worsened every year as North Kona's population spiked by almost 4,000 people to nearly 42,000 total between the years of 2010-2016, according to the 2017 State of Hawaii Data Book.
The cost of the project and the most efficient way to widen the Kuakini Highway could prove sticking points as the bill moves through the Senate.
The measure now moves to the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, which decides which bills the Senate approves for funding.
Kanuha said finding a creative way to alleviate the bottleneck is crucial in convincing Ways and Means along with the House Committee on Finance that costs won't spin out of control.
No matter the solution that would allow for state monies to be procured, Kanuha said federal funding would be both applicable and necessary for completion of the widening project.
As for how long such an endeavor might take once approved, Kanuha declined comment citing all the variables that could facilitate or slow down construction.
However, the last time Kuakini Highway was widened it was a county project that extended half of a mile from the Palani Road intersection to the Hualalai Road intersection.
Barett Otani, spokesperson for the county Department of Public Works, wrote in an email that the notice to proceed on that project was issued in November 2004. Construction wrapped up in November 2007. Delays that occurred were caused by utility relocation, he explained.
The total cost to widen the half mile stretch of highway to four-lanes was just shy of $15 million. Initial projections had it costing a little more than $12.5 million. Most of the extra incurred cost was caused by the delays, Otani said.
That project was funded to the tune of 20 percent by county funds, mostly procured through the sale of bonds, while the Federal Highway Administration picked up 80 percent of the tab.


In London this fall, art critics piled on the superlatives. In New York this winter, crowds braved the cold to line up outside Paula Cooper Gallery and get a look. Now Angelenos will have their chance to see Christian Marclay's video-art hit "The Clock," which the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has just purchased as part of an annual fundraising and collecting event.
Through this event, known as Collectors Committee Weekend, LACMA acquired eight artworks for roughly $2.7 million. Priced at under half a million dollars for one in an edition of six, "The Clock" was not the most expensive work of the group, but it was the biggest attention-getter.
A 24-hour-long meditation on the nature and artifice of time, "The Clock" consists of thousands of film (and to a lesser degree television) clips that feature clocks and watch faces, edited so that the time you see on-screen reflects the current time. "I can't imagine a piece more appropriate for LACMA, the epicenter for film and art," said associate contemporary art curator Christine Kim. The museum will screen the work in May.
Another high-profile purchase was a 2006 spherical sculpture by the Chinese artist-activist Ai Weiwei, who is currently in the news because of his detention by Chinese authorities. This sculpture, the first by the artist to enter LACMA's collection, was purchased for $400,000 from the Friedman Benda gallery in New York.
"We always try to pursue a very balanced group of artworks that reflect the encyclopedic nature of the museum," LACMA director Michael Govan said, "but it did happen this year that we had strong contemporary works.
"We don't have a general acquisitions endowment, which most museums of our size have, so this is an important occasion where we can buy works of art for the public," he added.
The collectors' event is also meant to be fun, making a semi-public sport out of the usual buttoned-up museum acquisition process. Instead of curators proposing new acquisitions before board members behind closed doors, they make pitches to a broader group of LACMA supporters who have ponied up money for the right to vote on acquisitions at a Saturday night gala dinner.
This year, 83 people bought gala tickets starting at $15,000 per couple, creating a kitty of nearly $1.5 million to spend on art. LACMA trustee Viveca Paulin-Ferrell, actor Will Ferrell's wife, chaired a live auction Saturday night that raised an additional $435,000 for purchases.
Some individual donors helped out. At the dinner on Saturday, Govan announced that Marclay's "The Clock" was no longer in the popular competition, as Steve Tisch, who became a LACMA trustee last year, pledged the $467,500 needed for the acquisition.
Tisch, the film producer and co-owner of the New York Giants, said he was "blown away" by the piece when he first saw an excerpt in New York. "I think a piece like this will appeal to everyone who lives in Los Angeles, from 5-year-olds to 95-year-olds," he said. It holds particular fascination, he said, for anyone involved in film editing and can appreciate "how difficult the project must have been to successfully pull off."
The top vote-getter at the Saturday night gala was Ai Weiwei's sculpture.
A large sphere resembling a geodesic dome by Buckminster Fuller, the sculpture has an ultra-modern, even high-tech form, but it's made out of Huanghuali wood (a type of rosewood) in the mortise and tenon fashion associated with traditional Chinese woodworking.
Contemporary art department head Franklin Sirmans says this blend of old and new fits the artist's sensibility -- "all of his work stems from an interest in the historical, asking what the past means in the present." Sirmans said the museum also has plans to show the artist's "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads" sculpture this fall. Despite the artist's detention, that sculpture is slated to be installed outside the Plaza Hotel in New York in May.
Other acquisitions that won the popular vote include a painted plastic curved wall-sculpture or "loop" made by the late Craig Kauffman in 1969, bought from Frank Lloyd Gallery in Santa Monica for $170,000; a Japanese Buddha head sculpted from cypress wood from around AD 1,000, purchased for $422,000 from the Kyoto gallery Taihaku Asian Art; and a set of three Spanish "casta" (or mixed-race narrative) paintings from 1760 by Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz, bought for $570,500 from London gallery Derek Johns.
Individual donors stepped forward to buy a 1978 "prototype desk" that Donald Judd had made for his son Flavin (named after artist Dan Flavin) for $350,000; a 16th century, checkerboard-patterned Peruvian textile for $250,000 from the William Siegal Gallery in Santa Fe, N.M.; and a circa 13th century Mexican painted ceramic featuring serpent-human forms from the Stendahl Gallery in Los Angeles for $60,000.
For The Record Los Angeles Times Thursday, April 21, 2011 Home Edition Main News Part A Page 4 News Desk 1 inches; 44 words Type of Material: Correction LACMA acquisitions: An article in the April 19 Calendar section about artworks recently acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art said a set of three Spanish "casta" paintings by Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz had been purchased for $570,500. The price was $598,000.

As the Queensland government declares the $1.4 billion Sconi project as a prescribed project, hundreds of construction jobs are just around the corner.
Included in the project are the construction of an accommodation village and 24/7 medical facility with improvements made to water supply, regional public roads and the regional airport. With more than 300 full-time equivalent jobs for the 18-year operational period, the project is set to create up to 500 jobs during its two-year construction period. The Sconi project aims to produce nickel, cobalt, and scandium for battery manufacturing, electric vehicles and other high technology applications.
In addition, Australian Mines Limited (AUZ), the proponent, has set investment into the region for training skills and development for process workers, featuring youth and indigenous programs.

BY FENCING OFFICIALS COMMISSIONEffective immediately, there is a change in the acceptable way one may wire an epee. In a post to the FOC site in 2013 it was stated that the wires may not pass through the "tunnel" created by the socket and the metal plate because the referee cannot verify if there is a hidden switch. This application of the rules is contrary to the application in the rest of the world. Epee sockets are manufactured globally with the "tunnel" to protect the wires from accidental or "non-accidental" breaks. Allowing epees to be wired with the wires through the "tunnel" is the way the rules are enforced at every international tournament including World Cups, World Championships and at the Olympic Games.
Therefore, effective immediately, USA Fencing will change its interpretation of the rule to be in alignment with the rest of the world and permit epees to be wired in either fashion, either outside the tunnel or through the tunnel. See photos at right for illustration.

An old love of mine, a case of kiss and tell…
Some months ago I wrote a piece about the books on my bookshelves. I chose a shelf at random and described how I came by the books on it and whether or not I had read them. As I said then, for the most part my books have been shelved in a fairly random way. The exceptions are the two shelves devoted to books about and by George Moore and his contemporaries.
I'm not referring to George Edward Moore, the philosopher, but George Augustus Moore, the writer. As a postgraduate student, I based my research on the latter Moore and his writing career. When I was first interested in him, only Esther Waters, his most famous book, was in print. (Later the Anglo-Irish publisher Colin Smythe reprinted three or four more of his novels.) As a consequence, I spent many happy hours in secondhand bookshops and leafing through antiquarian catalogues in pursuit of his works.
Moore was an extraordinary character. Born into the largely Protestant Anglo-Irish Ascendancy, he came from a family of Catholics. (This lends some credence to their claim that they were descended from Sir Thomas More, a tale Moore himself loved to retail, though there is no positive proof that it's true.) The Moores were, in fact, members of the more modest, untitled squirearchy. Setting little store by education and the Arts, they spent their time managing or mismanaging their estates and racing horses. The only one of Moore's ancestors who had shown the remotest interest in literature had lived as a recluse in the second half of the eighteenth century, spending his days writing a history book that was never published – not a propitious precedent when Moore himself began to exhibit literary leanings.
His first love was painting, or at least he used that as his pretext for travelling abroad. Like many Irish artists and writers, he felt stifled by his country. When he came into his inheritance at the age of twenty-one, he departed pretty swiftly for Paris to enrol himself as a pupil at the Académie Julian. There he became an early appreciator of the French Impressionists and actually struck up a friendship with Édouard Manet. Moore was a kind of nineteenth-century gentleman's equivalent of a groupie: he insinuated himself into the Impressionists' consciousness by spending many hours at Les Deux Magots, the café that they frequented. He was later to pursue Zola and other authors of the school of French Naturalism in the same way.
Eventually realising that he hadn't the talent to become a painter, Moore took up writing as very much a second-best profession. He wrote several passable, if bleak, novels in naturalistic mode, the best of which is, in my opinion, not Esther Waters, but A Drama in Muslin, a captivating satire on the Dublin marriage market. In common with other exiled Irishmen, Moore was often at his most eloquent when he wrote about Ireland. He was also an observant early adopter: Another of his Parisian acquaintances was Édouard du Jardin, who had written a book entitled Les Lauriers Sont Coupés; it embodied a style that has been dubbed 'the melodic line' and was actually the forerunner of the stream-of-consciousness technique; Moore wrote several evocative novels that employed this device, including The Lake, the haunting story of a priest who loses his faith and orchestrates his own disappearance by leaving his clothes on the banks of Lough Carra as if he had drowned, swimming across the lake and escaping to take passage for America (Moore Hall, Moore's ancestral home, was built on the shores of this lake.).
After many years in exile, Moore was persuaded by W.B. Yeats to return to Ireland to take part in the so-called 'Gaelic Revival'. Moore's own account of this sojourn telescopes the length of time that it took; in fact, he spent most of the first decade of the twentieth century back in Ireland, working with Yeats and other luminaries, including J.M. Synge and the Irish mystic poet AE. Not that Moore ever really worked very closely with anyone: he was a past master at 'doing his own thing'. His true masterpiece dates from this period. It is a two-part work entitled Ave Atque Vale (later changed to Hail and Farewell; the original title was simultaneously designed to poke fun at Moore's own lack of Latin and the pretentiousness of his literary colleagues). It purports to be a factual history of the Gaelic Revival, but is really a highly-polished satire of how it unfolded in spirit. Once it was published, Ireland became too hot to hold Moore once again. He retreated to London, where, in his later years, he devoted his energies to writing whimsically discursive stories based on Greek and Roman mythology and Christianity. These were produced in beautiful limited editions that were sold by subscription. I am the proud possessor of two of them, Aphrodite in Aulis and The Brook Kerith. It was typical of Moore that the latter, his account of the life of Christ, was based not on the Gospels, but on the writings of the Essene heretics. To the end, Moore loved to stir up controversy whenever he could.
This was true also of his private life, which was possibly more blameless than he would have had people believe. He never married, but conducted a number of clandestine affairs with well-born women, the most scandalous of which took place with Maud Alice Burke, an American heiress, prior to her marriage to Bache Cunard, heir to the shipping line. Later, transformed into the society hostess 'Emerald' Cunard, she resumed the affair, until Moore was ousted from her affections by Sir Thomas Beecham. Moore was widely reputed to be the father of her daughter, Nancy Cunard, herself a writer and friend of Hemingway and Ezra Pound. He encouraged his friends and acquaintances, including Nancy herself, to believe in the truth of this rumour. However, the gossip went that his sexual prowess was in some doubt. When he was still a young man, a contemporary had jibed that 'some men kiss and never tell; Moore tells but never kisses'. He never lived this down.
Sadly, Moore Hall was burnt down in 1923 in one of the recurring cycles of the Irish troubles, not because Moore was an absentee landlord, but because his younger brother, Colonel Maurice Moore, served in the British army. I have visited the ruin twice. It is one of those unhappily poignant roofless Irish mansions, its walls still standing foursquare, the windows blank, the floorless interior home only to the spinney of gangling trees that poke above the parapet in their quest for light.
What do my thoughts about George Moore have to do with crime fiction? He certainly doesn't write about crime, except obliquely: he is less incisive than Dickens, but as a young man he was concerned with and wrote about the social ills of his day. His works are perhaps not of the first rank, though Hail and Farewell comes pretty close. He is not my favourite writer – that is certainly Jane Austen – nor even one whose works I re-read many times. But I feel that George is part of me; decades ago, he succeeded in getting under my skin. In some way, therefore, I am certain that he has also inveigled himself into the fabric of my writing.

Bishop's Funeral Home
Dr. Hugh MacSween
Born In: New Waterford
Born: May 2nd, 1941
Passed in: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Passed on: April 19th, 2015
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Hugh Miller 'Bud' MacSween at Thomas Hall, Shannex Fredericton, on April 19, 2015. He courageously fought a progressive neurologic disease for a few years, but never lost his spirit, dignity or determination, and remained an inspiration to all who knew him.
Miller was born May 2, 1941 in New Waterford, NS to the late Hugh Francis 'Buddy' MacSween and Anna Judith Miller. He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years Doris; his children Mark (Shaena), Jody, Andrew (Nancy) and Scott; grandchildren Colin, Claire, Aidan and Leah; sisters Sandra (Ron) Backman, Norma (Al) MacNeil, Barbara (Hans) Schamp, and sister-in-law Judie MacSween (wife of predeceased brother Peter); many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
Dr. MacSween completed his undergraduate degree at Saint Francis Xavier University in 1961 and graduated from Dalhousie Medical School in 1966. He established a Family Practice in Fredericton for three years before opting to further his training, specializing in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. He returned to Fredericton in 1973 where he would continue his practice until his retirement in 2006.
Promoting wellness and healthcare advocacy were hallmarks of Dr. MacSween's long and distinguished medical career. His commitment to his patients and their ongoing wellness led to his founding of the Fredericton Chapters of the United Ostomy Association of Canada, the Canadian Celiac Association and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada.
Dr. MacSween was instrumental in the development of several other leading provincial health care initiatives, including: New Brunswick Hepatitis B Vaccination in infancy and childhood, the New Brunswick Organ and Tissue Donation Network and the Total Parenteral Nutrition Program in Region 3. He was also a founding member and Director of the Dr. Everett Chalmer's Hospital Foundation. Throughout his professional life, Dr. MacSween held several provincial and national leadership positions within the fields of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
His significant health advocacy efforts, innovativeness, and commitment to his patients and profession on a number of fronts have earned his well-deserved recognition with awards that have included: the Dr. Donald Morgan Service award from the NB Medical Society, first recipient of the Dr. H. Miller MacSween Teaching Award by the DECH, an annual award as a top lecturer in medicine by Dalhousie University, the York Sunbury Queens Distinguished Career award, the United Ostomy Association Outstanding Service award, and the Lifetime Service Award from the Canadian Foundation of the Ileitis and Colitis Society (Fredericton Chapter).
In his retirement, Dr. MacSween continued to pursue his keen interest in health promotion by his involvement with the N.B. Network of Healthy Living, and through this, developed the Take H.E.A.R.T program.
Outside the field of medicine Bud was also a Lifetime Member of the Miramichi Salmon Association, Nature Trust of New Brunswick, and the Fredericton Golden Club.
In his spare time, he enjoyed hockey, golf, tennis, sailing, cycling, cross-country skiing and ball-room dancing. He was an avid salmon fisherman and was proficient in the time honoured art of fly-tying. He cherished his time with friends and family at his cottage on Maquapit Lake. His involvement in these activities and his long medical career have allowed him the opportunity to develop a lifetime of meaningful friendships. He is best known to many for his huge heart.
Dr. MacSween's passion for medicine, enjoyment of sports, and his treasured friendships were exceeded only by his love for his family.
The family will receive friends at Bishop's Funeral Home 540 Woodstock Road Fredericton on Friday April 24, 2015 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. The funeral service will take place at St. Dunstan's Roman Catholic Church on Saturday April 25, 2015 at 2:00 pm with Father Bill Brennan officiating. Interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to The Molly Appeal at Dalhousie Medical School (All funds raised this year will be used to expand and improve the Maritime Brain Tissue Bank).

Boston Liberation Flicks - Bloods & Crips: Made in America
September 21, 2018 at 7:00pm - 9pm
The City School
614 Columbia Rd
Ste 1C
"One thing you have to realize - if you opened them up there would be a stamp that says 'Made in America'" ~ Kumasi (co-founder, The Slauson Club--the origin of the Crips)
Covering a topic that most documentaries avoid completely, the 2008 film "Crips & Bloods: Made in America" places the two most infamous Black gangs originating in South Central LA (the Crips and the Bloods) in the proper context - that of crippling poverty, police brutality, revolutionary resistance and a total failure of a capitalist system to provide for its inhabitants.
Contrary to popular belief, the Bloods and Crips originated out of oppressed Black and Brown youth who formed neighborhood clubs because they wanted to build a positive outlet amidst the oppression they were subjected to daily. These social clubs then evolved into vigorous revolutionary activity, as it coincided with the Black Power movement. As the vicious FBI COINTELPRO decimated Black revolutionary organizations, such as the Black Panther Party, one lesser known consequence of the federal government's sweeping repression is that it provided these ghetto youth in South Central LA with the tools to destroy themselves. From the Watts Rebellion to the 92 Rodney King riot, through the crack cocaine era and 40 years of fratricidal warfare, this is the real story of the infamous Bloods and Crips.
This film clearly explains how gang violence, the mass criminalization and imprisonment of Black and Brown youth, is rooted in a capitalist system's failure to provide for the people.
Join the the Party for Socialism & Liberation - Boston branch as we discuss how this white supremacist capitalist system has wreaked havoc on Black and Brown communities and a socialist analysis of gangs, white supremacy, and the state.
The City School is wheelchair accessible and has gender neutral bathrooms.

JAY'S HONDA S2000
OWNERS' RIDE
This screaming Japanese roadster on POTENZA RE-71R, is a lethal track weapon.
Owners' Rides /
Jay's Honda S2000 | Owners' Rides | Bridgestone Singapore
Mention "Honda" to any automotive enthusiast, and you'll elicit visions of the legendary 'red H' – a mark of excellence reserved for their performance-oriented, race-bred machines.
Certainly, they've made their name honing their craft on various models such as the Civic and Integra, both widely praised by journalists and drivers worldwide as some of the best handling examples of front-wheel drive cars.
ROADSTER MADE WITH A PURIST-APPROVED RECIPE
Despite Honda's stellar reputation with the front-wheel drive layout, it's difficult to ignore their roadster made with a purist-approved recipe – the S2000. The recipe's really quite simple. A rev-happy naturally aspirated engine in the front, controlled by a slick-shifting manual transmission in the middle, and power sent to the rear wheels.
It's the same recipe that produced a list of other celebrated sports cars, from the Mazda MX-5 to the BMW M3, but perhaps what makes the S2000 even more special is that it's the second-ever modern Honda with power sent to the rear, with the first being their halo model, the NSX.
This S2000 you see here belongs to Jay, an avid track enthusiast with an automotive history featuring other big names such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. Having experienced and achieved success with the all-wheel drive Evolution, Jay decided it was time to master the art of controlling a rear-drive chassis.
Jay's Honda S2000 is a late model Japanese-specification Type S, produced in the final two years of S2000 production. As with all face lifted units colloquially known by its chassis designation 'AP2', propulsion comes courtesy of a 2.2-litre 'F22C1' engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Bridgestone POTENZA RE-71R
A set of WedsSport TC105N wheels wrapped in Bridgestone POTENZA RE-71R tyres.
The exterior of the car is relatively original, with the most noticeable being a set of WedsSport TC105N wheels wrapped in Bridgestone POTENZA RE-71R tyres in the 255/40 R17 size.
"EVERYONE SWORE BY RE-71R ON TRACK"
As a track enthusiast, Jay has been nothing short of impressed by how the Potenzas have performed on the circuit under demanding conditions. "Everyone swore by RE-71R on track, with some even managing to shave seconds off their lap time with these tyres. From my personal experience, they're amazing!" remarks Jay.
BODYWORK DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HIGHER DOWNFORCE
On the outside, the factory Type S bodywork designed to provide higher downforce – comprising of a rather pronounced front lip and a large rear wing – has been left untouched.
Inside the cabin, practical modifications have been done to allow Jay maximum concentration on the track. A set of Recaro Pole Position seats have replaced the factory items, while a Schroth Racing 4-point racing harness keeps him strapped into said seat while on maximum attack mode.
Befitting a track-focused machine, the dashboard is devoid of any distracting ornaments, gauges, or displays, with the lone modification being a Nardi Neo Grinta steering wheel to match the racy red and black theme of the interior.
Under the bodywork is where the bulk of the modifications have been done, beginning with a set of 4-piston AP Racing Pro 5000+ brake calipers peeking out from beneath the aforementioned WedsSport TC105N wheels.
An optimised suspension setup to keep the car completely stable, and to increase grip on the track comes courtesy of a set of Moton Suspension Motorsport 3-Way dampers that allows Jay to make the most minute of adjustments to cope with changing track conditions. Multiple Cusco chassis braces also help to stiffen the chassis, keeping the car flat through all corners.
QUEST FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Having owned the S2000 for 7 years now, Jay has fallen in love with how complete a package it is. The car not only supports his quest for continuous improvement for better lap times, but also actively encourages it as he learns new ways to shave precious seconds off lap times with each run.
With a fresh 10-year COE renewal done last year, 2019 is set to take the experience to new heights as Jay looks forward to setting a new personal best timing on Sepang International Circuit.
He reveals some plans for the car, which include a new suspension setup, and some tweaks to the car's undercarriage – so it's safe to say that the quest for continuous improvement carries on.
Jay chose POTENZA RE-71R, Bridgestone's track racing passenger car tyre, in the tyre size of 255/40 R17 for his Honda S2000.

Spirit Aerosystems has announced it will expand its operations by investing more than $80 million into the Tulsa economy.
The company also plans to hire about 250 employees, it said in a press release on Wednesday. The first phase of the expansion will begin in 2019 and full production is expected by the end of 2021.
The new Tulsa jobs will support increases in 737 production rates by freeing up required space in Spirit's Wichita factory site, according to the company.
"The work expansion in Tulsa is part of a larger effort to maximize operational efficiencies across Spirit's sites," the release says. "As the production rates increase, the Wichita site will continue to hire additional workers to meet the increasing demand."
Spirit Aerospace says the expansion is possible because of a collaboration between Spirit, the UAW and Oklahoma state and local officials.
"The Spirit team in Tulsa has made great strides improving the site's efficiency and demonstrating the capability to bring in additional work," Spirit AeroSystems President and CEO Tom Gentile in a statement. "The Tulsa site has a critical role in helping Spirit meet rising airplane production rates and pursue growth opportunities."
Additional investment in equipment, tooling and facilities upgrades are planned through 2022.

Hall of Heroes is a social and emotional learning game that is designed to help students transition to middle school. Students begin by designing their own customizable "superhero" avatar. Soon after, students are given a quick orientation to their school by the stoic and heroic Principal Shields. Students are encouraged to interact with characters by choosing one of three options that appear in speech bubbles, which can be read aloud. These answers are logged and later appear in an assessment report for teachers; a teacher dashboard provides data on whole-group and individual student progress. Students can get help by clicking a question mark on the lower-left side of their screen, which either repeats a tutorial or has written instructions.

text: Q: Connecting copper and aluminium wires though a board My g430 headphones recently broke and I narrowed it down to the wire that connects the left speaker to the right. The video I was watching recommends using a spare RCA cable to replace the wire, my only problem is that every wire in the headphones is aluminum but the RCA I took apart is copper. I understand that connecting them directly would be stupid but the connection would be going through the little PCB (image) they have in the headphones. Would this still be safe and durable? I don't know much if anything about electronics I just have a soldering iron and youtube.

Italian biscuit flavored with anise baked as a loaf then sliced and put back in the oven to toast the outside, which gives the cookie its "crunch". Great for dunking in coffee.

The data innovators making GDPR work for everyone
Written byCharlotte Hall
Updated 12th December 2017
GDPR & Data Innovation & tech
For many businesses, the upcoming GDPR legislation is a headache. But not PORT. Founded by two data innovators, the start-up is seizing the opportunity to help companies find the value in the new regulations – and build a unique business at the same time. Here Julian Saunders tells us all about it.
What are the biggest opportunities and threats around GDPR?
One of the biggest opportunities is that it gives customers access to and control over their data, which in turn opens up opportunities for other businesses. Under the GDPR, individuals can ask organisations that hold their data to give it to them in machine-readable format. They can then share it with other businesses who can offer them additional services that improve their quality of life and make their lives easier. For example, you could request your buying history from a supermarket, which you could then share with an organisation who offers buying recommendations, so it can tell you how to buy the same products but donate to charity, or recommend which products you should buy less of. Or if you have a medical condition, it could give you dietary recommendations and let you know where is best to buy those products – all of which could be done in an instant. The opportunity for businesses to ingest consumer data and deliver out expert, personalised recommendations, services and products is phenomenal.
What do you think will be the biggest danger for companies?
The world has changed as far as personal data is concerned, and security and privacy are now firmly at the top of the agenda. The new legislation puts the onus on businesses to keep customer data private and secure and if they fail to do that, the reputational stakes are very high. In the world that we live in now, where your competitors are working to build things faster, cheaper and better than you, your only unique piece in the jigsaw is your brand reputation. If you lose that by not respecting the privacy of your customers or, even worse, letting their data fall into the hands of hackers then all that hard work will be blown overnight, as has just happened on enormous scale to Equifax. They've gone from being an industry leader to a basket case - overnight. The stakes in play are immense and the enemy is disconnected services – things like telephone calls, forms, notes, laptops and personal data being lost within complex systems. There is a huge risk to reputation if organisations abuse people's privacy or fail to protect their systems sufficiently.
How will Brexit affect GDPR compliance in the UK?
It won't affect it in any major form. The UK is going to be introducing its own equivalent regulation called the Personal Data Bill which will effectively be a mirror replication of GDPR. There will be a single digital market across Europe and the same regulations will apply across all countries.
Do you think businesses are ready for GDPR?
A lot of people are saying they are prepared for GDPR, but in our experience - and this is only anecdotal – the vast majority are not practically prepared. And if they are, they're probably only looking at it from a pure compliance perspective and clearly GDPR is so much more than that. The legislation has been developed against backdrop of a global re-balancing of power between businesses and people, around their personal data. The regulations are conceptual in as much as they are there to set the parameters for a better, fairer way of managing data, that benefits both businesses and individuals.
About PORT
What's the idea behind PORT and how did it start?
The idea is to be the secure data bridge between businesses and individuals, allowing data to flow in both directions, in compliance with the GDPR and in the interests of both parties. My CTO, Dan Eltis, and I have been working with personal data for the last ten years so we understand the process very well. We previously built a service for Martin Lewis, MoneySavingExpert called Cheap Energy Club, where you enter a few details and it finds you the best energy deal and continually checks the market to make sure you're updated on any new offers. It has been massively successful, with over 3 million members, all of whom have benefitted from having their energy bills cross-checked against the market on an ongoing basis. When we were running that business, we became involved in government initiatives around data empowerment for consumers and realised that for both businesses and people to benefit from data, there had to be a secure bridge between the two. And of course with GDPR compliance coming along, it was the perfect timing to build the technology to do that.
How long's it been going?
We launched a couple of months ago and we're currently taking on pilots. We'll be fully live and taking payments from mid-December onwards.
Where will PORT be in five years?
We would love PORT to be at the heart of enabling companies to do better data-driven business with their customers. We want to help businesses to be trusted in how they manage personal data and for individuals to see that their data is being respected and their privacy and desires are being respected. If we can support businesses in giving a better, personalised service to their customers then we'll be very happy with that!
What's the most important thing you're working on right now and how are you making it happen?
We're working on refining the onboarding experience by testing the product with some carefully selected pilot businesses. We've got about 50 and we're going through hand-holding at every step of the process. Most of them are SMEs but we're also in discussion with some enterprises and some major distribution partners.
What's the company culture like? Do you work in a co-working space?
Our company culture is casual informal but we are very much focused on getting stuff done. We're currently working in Rainmaking Loft at St Katherine's dock – we've been totally spoilt here. In the summer it feels like you're working in Monaco - we work with about 180 fabulous people – we're like one big family but the only downside is it's being closed-down at Christmas. We've just decided to move to Huckletree so I'm sure we'll survive in the City.
**About you
** Is this your first business?
I've had lots of businesses. I original started in design and built up a large, international design consultancy, together with my brother. That was in London, New York, Hong Kong and Sydney and my brother still runs the Sydney arm of it– now specialising in shopping centre design.
What do you think is the greatest innovation in the past decade?
Unfortunately I'm going to be super predictable! I really can't think of anything that could anywhere near compete with the iPhone, which is 10 years old this year. It's single-handedly, fundamentally changed the relationship between humans and technology and that is an astounding achievement. I bought one on the first day that it launched in the UK and I've had an iPhone ever since. It's the touch-screen that changed the world. We never think twice about having to take a map with us anywhere - you just open your phone and you know where you're going. It means that people travel further, they go to place they would never previously have gone to, they take shots they would never have previously taken. We work by Tower Bridge, which means pretty much everyday I open my phone and I look at the tide times, because I can! Those kind of things, just 10 years ago it would have been incredibly difficult and now it's in the palm of your hand.
What's your best piece of advice for someone looking to build a great business?
There's a few things - firstly decide what really motivates you because whatever business you choose it's going to have to rely on an enormous amount of motivation that has to come from somewhere. Building a business is very rarely successful so you really need to build something you're madly passionate about. It's only a year or two down the line that people realise that money isn't that much of an incentive. You're never going to build a big successful business if it's not something that you're totally wedded to. Secondly no matter how talented you are, you must stay super focused on achieving your clear vision.
What was the most difficult lesson you have learnt on the job?
Have belief and trust in your own judgement.
Why do you like being a founder?
For me, it's because of my design background – I like conceiving things and then making them turn into reality. I enjoy working with teams to do that – I love the contributions that other people make when you can get a collaborative effort going towards a single-vision…. and probably that no other company would have me!
What gets you out of bed in the morning
The radio – up at 6:30, I find out what's happening with the day and then get excited about heading into town.
Do you have any life or work hacks?
Meditation – every day – minimum of 20 minutes in the morning, every morning and if you can combine that with Qi Gong (a Tai-chi exercise routine) - that's my little life hack.
**Business insurance
** What are your pain points with finding business insurance?
Like all insurance, it never seems to be top priority. The pain is knowing that you're going to have to spend time doing something that you know is needed but you don't appear to have any immediate need for, although you understand that it's absolutely essential. If you can deal with someone that understands your needs, it makes it a whole lot easier.
Are you aware of the risks involved with a platform like PORT?
After years of starting businesses of various types, I really do think it's worthwhile carefully thinking through the potential pitfalls in business because they're many and varied. Insurance may not seem critical or relevant when things are going really well - like most things in life you can only be a few seconds away from a near disaster and when that happens business insurance is critical. Whether it's about data breaches, cyber insurance, legal or cover for damages – you never know when you're going to need it – all you can be certain of is that you will need it at some point.

North sees small Christmas tourism growth
By TPN/Lusa, in Regional · 23-12-2020 18:00:00 · 0 Comments
Tourism in the North may experience "some improvement", although it is expected to be "very modest" and "far from what was needed" this Christmas season.
"However, the numbers indicate that bookings are very low in traditional accommodation. In most cases, reservations do not reach 20 percent", said the president of Turismo do Porto and North of Portugal (TPNP), Luís Pedro Martins.
In an interview with the Lusa News Agency, the official said that the prospects for Christmas and New Year's Eve "are still very weak".
"There was difficulty in preparing this period, which is explained by the whole climate of uncertainty in which we live. The tourist was, and is still, undecided because he expects the evolution of the pandemic situation and the measures that are being taken by the competent authorities", he stressed.
Luís Pedro Martins said he is convinced that any bookings for this coming holiday period "will be made very close to the dates".
"We are reinforcing our promotion in the national, Spanish and international market of greater proximity through the sharing of the campaign 'The North over there! that we launched in the summer and contributed to mitigate the drop in demand, "he said.
Related to the improvements, he stated: "Naturally, it is a long way from what we need. What we feel is that the hotel and tourism sector that has kept its businesses up and running is mobilising to attract the attention of demand. We are very grateful to these entrepreneurs who do not give up".
"Due to the proximity of the date, we have felt an interest in looking for accommodation and experiences for Christmas, especially when looking for tourist apartments in the city of Porto", said the official.

Titles such as Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, and Jeff Smith's Bone series have come under fire in many schools and libraries: http://cbldf.org/resources/banned-books-week-101/ "Banned and Determined" will feature Marjorie Allison and Rebekah Buchanan, English & Journalism, speaking about the importance of graphic novels and their place in the curriculum.
"Western Illinois University Libraries' faculty and staff encourage all readers to join with the ALA in celebrating the freedom to read, not only during Banned Books Week— September 21 through 27—but at all times," Bowers Sharpe said. "Banned and Determined" is free and open to the public.

Fall Movie League – Nun the Less
The first week of our fall Fantasy Movie League is now done. The post is a day early this week as I have a bloated mega-post planned for tomorrow already.
It looks like we have 16 people ready to go for the season based on the first week's picks including at least one new player. This first week saw a new film back at the top of the box office after a couple of weeks of carry overs dominating. The lineup for the week looked like this:
The Nun                     $615
Crazy Rich Asians           $218
Peppermint                  $205
The Meg                     $88
Mission: Impossible         $62
Searching                   $62
Operation Finale            $52
God Bless the Broken Road   $48
Christopher Robin           $42
BlacKkKlansman              $37
Alpha                       $32
Happytime Murders           $30
Mile 22                     $26
Incredibles 2               $26
Hotel Transylvania 3        $16
On Monday I was still thinking Crazy Rich Asians might continue to be the right pick for anchor. But then I read up on The Nun and found out that it was part of a whole series of very successful horror movies, including last year's Annabelle Creation. That, the growing projections over the week, and the Thursday night preview take got me to swap to The Nun as my anchor. However, I did next to no research on filler titles which was my downfall for the week. Right anchor, wrong filler. I ended up with 1x The Nun and 7x The Incredibles 2.
Not the worst pick, but The Incredibles 2 dropped a lot with the passing of Labor Day and the start of school in the US.
The Nun was the best performer for the week, exceeding expectations by a fair margin, so was the anchor you had to go with to be a contender. The perfect pick for the week was 1x The Nun, 1x The Meg, 2x Searching, and 4x Christopher Robin. Nobody in the TAGN league managed to get the perfect pick.
The top ten scores for the week were:
Corr's Carefully Curated Cineplex – $84,581,253
Po Huit's Sweet Movie Suite – $84,581,253
Goat Water Picture Palace – $84,581,253
Too Orangey For Crows – $81,825,073
Darren's Unwatched Cineplex – $81,551,873
Cyanbane's Neuticles Viewing Party – $80,242,277
Wilhelm's Kul Tiras Kino – $77,068,947
Miniature Giant Space Hamsterplex – $76,451,282
Ben's X-Wing Express – $75,063,100
SynCaine's Dark Room of Delights – $63,428,493
As I said, this season will be top ten lists only. Also, since this is the first week I don't have to do a season score as well.
Corr, Po, and Goat all picked the same lineup. For the box office scoring the ranking doesn't make any difference unless you want to brag about having won the week. But for the new scoring system order matters, so getting the tie breaker correct suddenly matters.
With the new scoring system the stack is the same but the scores are different.
Corr's Carefully Curated Cineplex – 10
Po Huit's Sweet Movie Suite – 9
Goat Water Picture Palace – 8
Too Orangey For Crows – 7
Darren's Unwatched Cineplex – 6
Cyanbane's Neuticles Viewing Party – 5
Wilhelm's Kul Tiras Kino – 4
Miniature Giant Space Hamsterplex – 3
Ben's X-Wing Express – 2
SynCaine's Dark Room of Delights – 1
I decided to go with just awarding points to the top ten, as in the example I posted last week. With 16 players in the season I considered more points, 12 or 15, but decided against that for now. I can change it later, but more points seemed likely to stretch the gap between first place and last. Right now first place can only ever gain 10 points on somebody in a week, rather than 12 or 15.
The two scoring systems on week one do look very different. The box office score doesn't show a huge gap between first and ninth place, while the new scoring has first place gaining 10x the points of 10th spot. I suspect that as we get towards the end of the season the the box office scoring system will effectively have a much wider gap while the new scoring system will lead to a tighter race at the end. We shall see.
Coming up for week two we have:
The Predator         $408
The Nun              $338
A Simple Favor       $257
White Boy Rick       $137
Crazy Rich Asians    $131
Peppermint           $86
The Meg              $43
Unbroken 2           $40
Searching            $40
Christopher Robin    $31
Mission: Impossible  $28
BlacKkKlansman       $22
Operation Finale 2   $21
Alpha                $18
The Wife             $18
Going away this week are Happytime Murders, God Bless the Broken Road, Mile 22, Hotel Transylvania 3, and the long lasting The Incredibles 2
New this week are The Predator, A Simple Favor, White Boy Rick, Unbroken 2, and The Wife.
The Predator. Is there precedent for remaking a movie that featured two actors who later went on to be state governors? The original Predator was in the sweet spot of Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting career (defined as between Scavenger Hunt and Last Action Hero) and had a bunch of spin offs, including a branch that somehow managed to pit the predator against the alien from the Aliens series, the best part of which was, in my opinion, the Alien Loves Predator web comic.
So there is a lot of history and The Predator is actually a continuation of the series rather than a reboot or remake. It might as well be though since, aside from the web comic, the only bit I can recall was the original movie, and that mostly involves former Navy Seal, pro-wrestler-cum-actor, and future governor of Minnesota Jessie "The Body" Ventura wielding a backpack mini-gun that was probably the inspiration for including such weapons in every shooter from Doom forward.
Enough baggage. How will it do? It is a toss up between its history, being the shiny new action film, and it playing in ~3,800 theaters versus crappy reviews and it being a bit more nerd trivia than mainstream at this point. Also, the 107 minute run time likely means they are padding out a minimal story. Estimates put it between $25 and $35 million. At the low point you don't want it, while at the high end it has to be your anchor.
A Simple Favor is a murder mystery about a blogger and it stars Anna Kendrick which is all I need to know as I am now all-in on this. Yes, it has a bit of the same tech-mystery vibe as Searching, but it gives bloggers their time in the sun. Might be good for $14 million, if you need to get into numbers to pick this.
I recall the trailer for White Boy Rick coming up in the 25 minutes of trailers… including a red card trailer… that ran before BlackKklansman when we saw that. There were apparently a lot of films who felt the Spike Lee demographic was vital to the success.
Anyway, it is about a kid who gets involved in the drug trade then becomes an FBI informer, all before he becomes of legal age. Neither the story (based on true events, as they say) nor the kid has much draw for me, but the adults around him feature some big names including Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern, and Piper Laurie. Maybe good for $9 million if the long range forecast is accurate.
Unbroken 2, which is the sequel to the 2014 film Unbroken, and which has a longer name, but I am going to call it Unbroken 2 because it is easier. This film follows former Olympian and freed prisoner of war Louis Zamperini through his post-war struggle and his becoming an evangelical Christian. Short, made by a team that does faith focused films, and none of the original cast returns. Memory of the first film might trick enough people into seeing it for it to get to $3 million.
And then there is The Wife, which actually premiered in the US a year ago, but which is out for a return run because… reasons. I don't know. An art house film with a strong cast, it probably tries to make people think or something, which is never a box office draw unless you throw in enough explosions or gun shots to drown that out a bit. But they are traveling to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, so gunshots, explosions, or a kidnapping are probably out.
Still, there it is, priced down with Alpha, which made $2.5 million last week, so somebody thinks it is worth about a million I guess.
With all of that my Monday Hot Takes pick ended up being 3x A Simple Favor and 5x Searching. See, I wasn't kidding about being all-in. Tech thrillers for the win I hope. Whether I will stick with that lineup through the Friday lock is another question.

The EVE September Update Strikes Another Blow for Symmetry
The September update for EVE Online doesn't have much in the way of cornerstone features. The changes were largely drawn from the "little things" thread, which are small improvements to our daily life in New Eden.
A few changes in the patch notes worth noting. For example:
It is no longer possible to add items to a mobile depot, while it is reinforced. It is still possible to remove items from a reinforced mobile depot or scoop the mobile depot itself.
This will likely lead to more dead excavator drones as it is the general practice of Rorqual pilots, when caught by attackers, to drop a mobile depot and dump their expensive excavator drones in it. That saves them for another day as killing a mobile depot requires you to reinforce it, then come back later to kill it. Now however the Rorqual pilot needs to be quick as the attackers will likely reinforce any depot they drop right away.
Then there is another key item:
Upwell Cargo Deposit is now available at all Upwell Structures. This feature allows players flying outside an Upwell Structure to place items from their ship cargo directly into their personal hangar in the structure.
This should close off the courier scam where pilots get sent to a citadel only to find that they have no access. They can't deliver so lose the usually inflated collateral. There was a thread about this change in the forums.
And there were also a series of changes to how ship fittings are managed. One big item is that you can save cargo items as part of the fit. This will be a boon for Reavers, as Asher does like us to haul around a pile of refits.
If we could strap things to our ships, we would
There is a long list of minor updates, enough that there is likely something there to make you happy.
But the big change in the September releases is the graphical update to the line of ships based on the Caldari Osprey. It was one of the few remaining asymmetrical designs.
The Osprey in its final form
Once the Caldari cruiser with mining bonuses, it eventually got fully focused on the logistics (space healer) role once CCP was done revamping the mining ship lineup.
Space was different back in 2007
There was a joke about Caldari ships back when I started playing EVE Online. It was said that when it came to Caldari ship design, there was a designer for the left half of ships and a designer for the right half of ships, and that these two people had never met.
Over the years since CCP has been regularly changing the sometimes wildly asymmetrical designs with ships that have bilateral symmetry. Some of these have been good. I think the Scorpion and Moa ship lines look better for the change. Others I have been less enthusiastic about. The Cormorant got an odd treatment, while the Griffin went from a sleek lined frigate to a space pig. All a matter of opinion I suppose.
This time the came from the Osprey, which now has matching appendages on either side.
The new Osprey
These side bits also now fold back while the ship is in warp.
Side thingies down!
The central body remains similar to the old model, with a frilled snout and the long, tapering engine housing in the back.
The Osprey Navy Issue got its own new set of wings with the change.
Osprey Navy Issue
And the tech II variation, the Basilisk, got wings that are somewhat reminiscent of Dumbo.
Flying with both doors open?
Those doors fold down a bit when the Basi is in warp.
Folded down a bit
I am not particularly enamored with the change. As with the Oneiros, I think they managed to remove all the grace from the design with this change. But I have been told that symmetry makes SKIN development easier, and SKINs sell.
Anyway, that is what we are getting for September. The patch notes are available to read through, if you want to see all the little changes, while the updates page only mentions the Osprey changes. The update has been declared live, so everything mentioned is now a thing.
Coincident with this update CCP also announced a special SKIN release as a fundraising effort for the family of a member of the team, CCP Mankiller, who passed away in July at the age of 44.
Cordite Blossom Sabre
These SKINs, called Cordite Blossom, will be available from the New Eden store for a limited time and, once removed, will be retired and never sold again. Proceeds from the sales will go to help the family of the late CCP Mankiller.
The SKINs are available for the following hulls:
60 PLEX – Punisher
60 PLEX – Slasher
60 PLEX – Sabre
60 PLEX – Zealot
60 PLEX – Eagle
60 PLEX – Ferox
60 PLEX – Brutix
60 PLEX – Hurricane
Buy a SKIN or two if you can.
Addendum: The fundraising goal was reached and the Cordite Blossom SKINs are now off the market.
