This statement was written for the platform we were offered by the international performance festival WORKS AT WORK in Copenhagen. The statement marks a point in our collective process anno November, 2016.
"Tonight we want to honour the collective effort that surrounds our artistic production. We want to dedicate ourselves to a practice, which aims to stay "in process".
To search for a mode that allows continuous hesitation.
To search for ways that avoids coining "strong meanings".
To stay resistant towards the inherent demand to transform processes into presentable objects. No more artificial separation of the work we do from our bodies.
Perhaps it is not so much a question of "doing" as it is perhaps a question of "undoing"?
In this zone of hesitation can we avoid evaluation?
Can we avoid stagnant categorisation?
Can we avoid being split between failure and success?
Can we avoid rendering an artificially polished product out of a greater and more unruly whole?
We want to stay with the complications of processual messiness. Tonight we enter a new phase.
The collective as a predefined project has drained us.
We have let our collective visions become contaminated.
Contaminated by our inherent desires to satisfy the structural mechanisms. Contaminated by demands of art production.
Our art and wellbeing needs a structural economic detox.
The only way out calls for a fully embodied transformation - a letting go of definitions, expectations and presumptions from within the body of the collective, a farewell and a release.
Tonight this statement will mark the starting point of one year of contemplation.
A year of ceasing the hunt for opportunities.
A year of not writing artist bios that make us look economically attractive. A year of not projecting into the future.
A year of saying no, but taking responsibility for our having said yes!
A year of acknowledging that through our actions and productions, we have maintained the same structures that we are criticizing.
Is the collective structure our best option to survive in a normative capitalist society that is based on quantifiable labour? Or do we give up the idea of economy all together? To remove the project- making from our collective practice, and let it be solely a structure of support and genuine interest in each other, our work and friendship.
And even then, how do we relate to personal investment, labour and value in a phase of anti- production?
What remains is a collective movement of four individuals, whose constant relating to each other, reshapes the fluid coexistence -It only takes the movement of one, to change the conditions for the others.
Which values lie at the heart of your practice?
How do you share the knowledge reached through the senses?
How can we deal with intuition as a group?
How can we work from a point of abstraction?
How can we propose ideas of transferability and exchange in nonverbal ways? Can we bring forward the energetic body?
Can we share an indefinite space? - To collectively survive, as people, as friends and as artists, whilst working in a reality that at times feels impossible to unite with an artistic process."

Plaintiffs fighting back, winning against Biden jab mandates
Some progress is being made against the Biden regime's efforts to forcibly "vaccinate" all of America with the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).
One of the most recent victories was a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Schelp out of Missouri who issued a preliminary injunction blocking a White House order that all workers employed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4, 2022, in order to keep their jobs.
"The nature and breadth of the CMS mandate requires clear authorization from Congress – and Congress has provided none," Schelp said, adding further that the mandate threatens consequences of "vast economic and political significance."
Schelp's ruling only applied to health care workers in 10 states: Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Wyoming and Alaska. However, another case that followed expanded the injunction to the entire country.
The White House still has the option to appeal Schelp's ruling before the Eighth Circuit, reports indicate. Meanwhile, there are at least three other lawsuits working through the system that challenge the CMS mandate.
"The White House says 96% of federal employees are compliant with Biden's vaccine mandate and there are no plans to extend the deadline to vaccinate or get fired," reported RT.
"However, the attempt to impose a mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees was blocked by the Fifth Circuit court earlier this month."
Don't back down in the fight against tyranny
Back in October, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed an executive order contesting other Biden jab mandates.
The aforementioned victory only applies to CMS workers, however there are many other employees both in health care and other sectors who still face potential firing for refusing to get injected.
Government contractors are among them, as are all private sector employees who work for companies with more than 100 workers.
Legislators in Kansas and elsewhere are also putting up a fight by threatening to withdraw government funding if the mandates are not lifted.
Based on the contents of the Congressional Review Act, the 41 some-odd senators say they have a constitutional duty to act in this manner under such circumstances.
"I hope President [sic] Biden was listening to the people in the state of Virginia yesterday, in a state that he won [sic] by double digits, a Democrat governor lost," announced Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), who is also a medical doctor, about the effort.
Marshall went on to compare Biden to a predator attempting to "get between a mama bear and her cubs" with his aggressive injection push.
It may be too little, too late, but at least some members of Congress are attempting to fight back against the Biden regime's assault on medical freedom. Time will tell if anything comes of it, or if workers under pressure end up just complying.
"No president has the right to make law," noted one commenter at RT. "That is the job of Congress."
"The use of EOs by the president was meant to run the executive branch, not the nation as a whole. The use of EOs has been abused by most administrations because Congress is too lazy and corrupt to do their job. If you want a king or dictator then fire the 600+ drunken druggies (Congress) that are constantly lining their pockets at taxpayer expense."
Another commenter pointed out that a sitting president still has the constitutional authority to veto laws from Congress, meaning they can still go nowhere even if done properly.

Essay: How Copyright Got a Bad Name For Itself
"...Copyright is in bad odor these days. Many of the developments over the last years designed to protect copyright have drawn academic scorn, and intolerance even from the popular press. I have a theory about how copyright got a bad name for itself, and I can summarize it in one word: Greed.
"Corporate greed and consumer greed. Copyright owners, generally perceived to be large, impersonal and unlovable corporations (the human creators and interpreters - authors and performers - albeit often initial copyright owners, tend to vanish from polemical view), have eyed enhanced prospects for global earnings in an increasingly international copyright market. Accordingly, they have urged and obtained ever more protective legislation, that extends the term of copyright and interferes with the development and dissemination of consumer-friendly copying technologies.
"Greed, of course, runs both ways. Consumers, for their part, have exhibited an increasing rapacity in acquiring and "sharing" unauthorized copies of music, and more recently, motion pictures. Copyright owners' attempts to tame technology notwithstanding, at least some of the general public senses as illegitimate any law, or more particularly, any enforcement that gets in the way of what people can do with their own equipment in their own homes (or dorm rooms). Worse, they would decry this enforcement as a threat to the Constitutional goal of promotion of the Progress of Science, and thus a threat to the public interest."

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair apologizes for role in Iraq War
By Adam Edelman

Better late than never.
More than 12 years after British forces joined American forces in invading Iraq, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair apologized for his role in the ill-fated war.
"I apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong," Blair said during an interview with journalist Fareed Zakaria as part of a program airing Monday titled "Long Road To Hell: America in Iraq."
"I also apologize for some of the mistakes in planning and, certainly, our mistake in our understanding of what would happen once you removed the regime (of Saddam Hussein)," he said after being asked: "Was the Iraq War a mistake?"
When asked by Zakaria whether the invasion of Iraq ultimately contributed to the rise of the Islamic State, Blair didn't deny responsibility.
"I think there are elements of truth in that. Of course you can't say those of us who removed Saddam in 2003 bear no responsibility for the situation in 2015," he said.
But Blair, during another moment in the interview, defended taking out the brutal dictator.
"I find it hard to apologize for removing Saddam. I think, even from today in 2015, it is better that he's not there than that he is there," he said.
Blair resigned as Prime Minister in 2007 amid rapidly dropping popularity due to the UK's involvement in the Iraq War.

Mike Pompeo's North Korea Press Conference Covers Presidential Prep, Denuclearization...and Rudy Giuliani
By streiff | Jun 08, 2018 3:30 PM ET
Q Thank you. What progress have you made in narrowing the gap in your understanding of denuclearization and North Korea's definition of denuclearization? Has there been progress in bringing that definition closer together?
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yes.
Q Can you describe that a little bit?
SECRETARY POMPEO: No.
This is key. Historically, when North Korea has talked denuclearization it has meant the US foreswearing the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea if North Korea gives up its nukes. The fact that this issue has been addressed and a common definition may be within grasp is a sign that a) a helluva lot of progress has been made in the preparatory talks and that only happens if Kim Jong Un wants it to and b) that some sort of actual agreement may be possible. The fact that Pompeo won't talk about it indicates that it is both sensitive and fluid and trying to define something publicly that Kim will be asked to agree to might present difficulties later on.
Q Mr. Secretary, first of all, the President said that he doesn't believe he needs to prepare very much ahead of this summit. Do you think that's a prudent approach?
And also, I want to get your reaction to Rudy Giuliani's comments that "Kim Jong Un got back on his hands and knees and begged" for the summit to go back on — whether you think he should be weighing in on these international affairs and whether you agree with that assessment.
SECRETARY POMPEO: So back to your second question. I took him as it being a small room and not being serious about the comments. I think it was a bit in jest, and —
Q Do you think it could jeopardize the summit or —
SECRETARY POMPEO: We're moving forward. We're focused on the important things. I know Rudy. Rudy doesn't speak for the administration when it comes to this negotiation and this set of issues.
With respect to your first question, you know, progress — we're making progress, inch by inch. And we're going to travel there. This is different. The approach that President Trump is taking is fundamentally different. In the past, there have been months and months of detailed negotiations, and it got nowhere. This has already driven us to a place we've not been able to achieve before.

I think Trump's approach, at least as far as I understand it, is to deal with Kim as one head of state to another, not as a policy wonk. He should have some broad parameters of things he's after, he should know the key words and concepts used by the North Koreans. He should strive to achieve some sort of level of rapport with Kim, try to develop deals defined at a higher level, and then both sides should turn to their staffs to work it out. As much animosity as has characterized the US-North Korea relationship, going in with a lengthy agenda would be folly. But a short list of big things—a permanent peace agreement between the US and North Korea and a favorable decision on nukes and missiles—and maybe a little thing—return of the USS Pueblo—could be game changers.
Q Just having met the man twice now, what can you tell us about what opinions you've formed of Kim Jong Un as a person?
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah. So I haven't spent that much time with him. What I have said publicly is he has indicated to me, personally, that he is prepared to denuclearize; that he understands that the current model doesn't work, that he's prepared to denuclearize.
And that, too, he understands that we can't do it the way we've done it before — that this has to be big and bold, and we have to agree to making major changes. We can't step through this over years, but rather need to acknowledge it will take some amount of time, that this doesn't happen instantaneously. But that the model for succeeding — security assurance; and political normalization; and denuclearization completely, verifiably, and irreversibly — for that to take place, we've got to make bold decisions.
And I'm hopeful that Chairman Kim Jong Un is prepared to make that decision for his country. A big shift in his strategic understanding of his security.

— POLITICO (@politico) June 7, 2018
Again, the idea that both sides want to accomplish big things rather than play small ball is here.
Q Thank you. So you said that you — that the President is prepared to talk about security guarantees for North Korea. We have seen in this administration that you can — that when new administrations come in, they can undo things that prior administrations have done. How can President Trump guarantee long-term security for North Korea and for Kim, in particular?
SECRETARY POMPEO: Well, look, we're going to have to do things that convince Chairman Kim that that's the case. All right? That's what we'll have to do.
So let me give you an example. We are hopeful that we will put ourselves in a position where we can do something the previous administration didn't do. Right? They signed a flimsy piece of paper, and we're hoping to submit a document that Congress would also have a say in — that would give currency and strength and elongation to the process, so that when administrations do change, as they inevitably do, and this one will — six and half years from now — when that takes place, that Chairman Kim will have comfort that American policy will continue down the same path, on the course that we hope we're able to set in Singapore.
Reporter: How can Trump guarantee longterm security for North Korea?
Pompeo: [The Obama administration] signed a flimsy piece of paper. We're hoping to submit a document that Congress would also have a say in. pic.twitter.com/R2UbLSx544
This is what it should be. No president should attempt to bind the nation to a long-term course of action without going to the Congress, at a minimum, and ideally to the Senate for a ratified treaty.
Q Mr. Secretary, can you explain the President's shift — when he's gone from talking about defining success for this meeting as denuclearization of the Peninsula, to now talking about the need for more meetings? Can you explain what happened there and why this shift? And can you also describe your disagreements over North Korea internally with the national security advisor?
Amazing. CNN reporting Pompeo told Trump it would be "counterproductive" to allow Bolton to attend the Oval Office meeting with visiting North Korean official Kim Yong Chol. Non trivial probability Bolton doesn't last much longer. https://t.co/Ri5MCb9LMp
— Tom Wright (@thomaswright08) June 5, 2018
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah, with respect to the second one, I've read a little bit about this. And I love good fiction as next as — as much as the next person, but it is without foundation, so much so that — I'll be polite, since I'm a diplomat now. Suffice to say, those articles are unfounded and a complete joke.
I hadn't posted on that particular story because it seems like a lot of the other personalized hit pieces that creep out of the White House. A staffer either slimes a colleague or tries to set up a food fight between some other people.
On the whole, Pompeo gives you the feeling, rightly or wrongly, that the Administration has a negotiating strategy and it has done enough prep work to believe it can succeed. I don't know how this will all turn out but I feel that the situation is the best it has ever been for a peaceful resolution to the North Korea problem.

Central Banks to Hedge Dollar Risks with Bitcoin, Pompliano Predicts
cointelegraph.com 01 August 2019 17:24, UTC
Every central bank will be buying Bitcoin (BTC) to hedge risks to the United States dollar, according to a forecast by major crypto bull Anthony Pompliano.
In a tweet on Aug. 1, Pompliano, co-founder of asset manager firm Morgan Creek Digital Assets, noted the recent news that central banks made the largest historical acquisition of gold.
As reported by The Financial Times, global central banks purchased a record of $15.7 billion in the first half of 2019 in order to diversify their reserves from the U.S. dollar amid global trade tensions. According to the report, central banks accounted for almost one-sixth of total gold demand in the period.
Bitcoin as a non-correlated asset
While the World Gold Council expects geopolitical uncertainty to keep pressure on central banks to build gold reserves, Pompliano now predicts that banks will turn to Bitcoin as a store of value that is unrelated to traditional assets. He wrote:
"Wait till they find out about the non-correlated, asymmetric upside profile of Bitcoin.
Every central bank will be buying Bitcoin."
The new forecast follows a recent debate on CNBC Africa between Pompliano and gold bug Peter Schiff, who said that Bitcoin became some form of religion, and that investors are only hoping to get rich from their holdings while blind to reality. Schiff said, "When you're in a bubble, you can't see the bubble," and maintained that the Bitcoin had no intrinsic value.
Previously, Forbes editor-in-chief Steve Forbes published an open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, advising to back their cryptocurrency Libra with gold. According to Forbes, the stablecoin project will become "one of history's truly seminal creations" if backed by the yellow metal.


8.5.1 What is voluntary Community Service?
8.5.2 Who authorizes voluntary and court-ordered Community Service?
8.5.3 When do I approve Community Service activities?
8.5.4 How do I set up Community Service activities?
8.5.5 How does the WFPS/WFSSS authorize L&I coverage?
Voluntary community service is an opportunity for participants to volunteer in activities with their child's licensed child care, preschool, elementary school, Head Start, and ECEAP.This gives participants an opportunity to build their employment and parenting skills while spending time with their young children. This activity is only authorized for licensed child cares and preschools.
The WFPS/WFSSS doesn't develop voluntary community sites. Participants will work with their child's licensed child care, licensed preschool or elementary school to set these up and lets their WFPS/WFSSS know the site and their volunteer hours. We then follow the process below to make needed arrangements to support the activity.
Give participants who are interested in pursuing voluntary community service the informational flyer called WorkFirst Parent Volunteers. It will give them basic information about where they can volunteer, how to find a volunteer job and what they might be doing in their volunteer job. It will also ask them to contact you once they have a volunteer job to provide their schedule and to make arrangements to verify their hours.
A poster, called Looking for WorkFirst Parent Volunteers, is also available for providers and CSOs to make participants aware of voluntary community service. Providers who are promoting the activity will also have access to the WorkFirst Parent Volunteers flyer.
The WFPS/WFSSS may authorize voluntary or court ordered community service. Use the "VS" eJAS component for self-initiated voluntary community service and "XS" for court-ordered community service.
Community Service can be used in a variety of ways to help a participant meet participation requirements. Staff may only approve voluntary and court-ordered community service. We don't establish community service opportunities at other types of sites, such as food banks or state agencies. See the Stacking Activities section for more information about how we use participation in Community Service activities to meet participation requirements.
Needs a primary core activity, short term activity or additional hours of core or non-core activity to reach full time participation.
Wants to volunteer in a voluntary community service activity to build employment and parenting skills.
Staff must determine how many hours per week the parent can do community service activities. See the FLSA/Deeming section for more information on how to calculate the number of hours we can require in Community Services activities. The court sets hourly requirements for court-ordered community service.
Staff must also ensure the voluntary community service is supervised and make arrangements to verify the actual hours of participation. The WFPS/WFSSS follows the non-contracted service documentation process in WFHB 3.7.2.6 including use of the WorkFirst Participation Verification form. The WFPS/WFSSS must ensure the parent is covered by industrial insurance (also known as worker's compensation or L&I). If this coverage is not provided by the site, follow the instructions in section WFHB 8.6.5 to authorize the industrial insurance payments.
Travel time to and from the volunteer site.
Give a copy of the WorkFirst Parent Volunteers flyer to participants who are interested in pursuing voluntary community service.
XS for court-ordered community service.
VS for self initiated volunteering at a child care, preschool, or elementary school in which the client's child is enrolled.
Use the WorkFirst Participation Verification form to verify the actual hours.
Ensures the parent has L&I coverage. (Please note that if the site already has L&I coverage in place for volunteers, this will need to be documented in eJAS case notes).
Monitor the parent's participation monthly.
Follows the good-cause and sanction process if the parent is not participating.

The D.C. Council has a big problem on its hands. Their decision earlier this year to ignore the decision of District voters on Initiative 77 is not going away. In fact, proponents of a referendum to overturn the Council's repeal say they are close to gathering the required 25,000 signatures to put the referendum back on the next ballot. But the short deadline, Wednesday, probably won't allow those who support the voter-approved measure that phases out the tipped wage paid to service workers, to secure the needed signatures.
Still, it's telling that some 200 paid and volunteer petition circulators have been swarming the city on behalf of the Save Our Vote initiative. Some argue that funds to pay for the drive have come from out of state and that outsiders should, basically, "stay in their lane." Even if enough signatures are secured, those signatures face the ominous task of being validated. Then, according to D.C. law, the signatures have to come from all over the city, all eight wards (5 percent of voters in at least five of the city's wards).
If the signatures are verified, the D.C. Board of Elections would have to call for a special election to take place within 114 days, placing "Referendum 8" on a ballot in a March or early April 2019 election.
However, when the smoke clears, there's a more significant issue on the table. What concerns us most is the fact that the voters made their decision. They chose to approve Initiative 77. They thought it out and voted accordingly. And while the Council and mayor may see things differently, they are elected to serve the people, right? Why then, should the Council feel compelled to override the decision of the voters? Aren't the adults who are registered to vote smart enough to make their own choices?
It's a slippery slope when elected officials begin to presume that they know better than their constituents. We may not support Initiative 77, but we support the decision that the voters have made. And we believe the D.C. Council, should have, and should, do likewise.

Watch The New 'Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials' Trailer
the second chapter is here
by Yasmeen Gharnit
Last year, when Maze Runner was announced as Hollywood's latest YA novel-to-film adaptation, people were quick to deem it the next The Hunger Games. All the makings seemed to be there—it had violence, an intense battle for survival, a dystopian setting, and a potential romance between two genetically blessed individuals. And while it performed quite well at the box office, generating nearly triple its estimated budget, it never quite made it to Hunger Games proportions. Still, the second film had already started production by the time the first debuted, ensuring the series could produce two movies less than a year apart.
This morning, the first trailer for the second chapter, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials was released. The film opens up exactly where the last left off—Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and the rest of those trapped in the labyrinth with him have been "rescued," having completed the Maze Trials. They then enter Phase 2, The Scorch. As they assimilate to this new environment, the group discovers that the mysterious W.C.K.D. organization is hiding a large secret. They escape out to the open, as the W.C.K.D. most likely intended, and enter yet another fight for survival.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials hits theaters September 18.

Film director Martin Scorsese met with Pope Francis at the Vatican last week where he screened his upcoming film "Silence," and spoke about the experience of seeing his movie played near a giant crucifix in the chapel.
"So the whole film played on this crucifix, it was quite stunning," Scorsese said, according to USA Today. "It was quite an experience."
"Silence" focuses on the story of two Jesuit priests, played by actors Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, facing intense danger and persecution while on a mission in 17<sup>th century Japan.
As Reuters reports, the Jesuits are tasked with finding their missing mentor, and encounter great hardships in Japan, at which time period Christianity was banned.
"There the missionaries face a choice: they can save themselves and Japanese converts from death by crucifixion, burning and drowning if they trample an image of Jesus known as the 'fumie' to show they renounced their religion," the plot description reads.
Scorsese said Francis was very "disarming" at their meeting last week, and put everyone at ease.
"He was the most disarming ... everything was fine," the film director said. "He was smiling and thanked us for being there."
The pontiff told Scorsese that he had read the novel that the film is based on, written by the late Japanese writer Shusaku Endo, who converted to Catholicism.
"(Pope Francis) did say, I hope the story of the film, knowing the book, bears much fruit," Scorsese added.
The Rev. James J. Martin, who worked as a consultant to the film in various capacities, has said that "Silence" guides the viewer as if "living in a prayer."
Martin stayed after the film's screening at the Vatican to answer questions, and said that Scorsese displayed a deep faith.
"He was very engaged and energetic and really impressed the Jesuits in the audience with the depth of his spirituality," Martin said.
"You could not make a spiritual film like that without being a spiritual person. It would come off as empty," he added.
Scorsese, whose other famous films include "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "Gangs of New York," and "The Departed," stirred controversy in the Catholic community with his 1988 film "The Last Temptation of Christ," because of the depiction of a dream in the plot where Jesus marries and has a family, but later regrets His decision and turns back to God's plan.
The film was protested by some conservative church leaders, even leading to a cinema in Paris where the movie was playing being fire-bombed, though other Catholics defended the film.
"Silence" opens in theaters nationwide on Christmas Day.

Big air: winter smog in the Balkans and in Italy
By adminPosted on December 5, 2020 January 4, 2021
Belgrade, Rome – Smog and air pollution are currently affecting residents of major cities in the Balkans and Italy. In the Serbian capital Belgrade, the permanent fog only cleared after ten days on Friday afternoon. Polluted air from heaters, cars and power plants had been mixed in the cold, damp haze all along. Kosava, a strong east wind, which occurs regularly in the winter and provides fresh air, came only rarely this season. People demonstrated for better air in Belgrade.
The citizens' initiative "Do not sink Belgrade" criticized the government for its handling of the problem and called for a protest on Friday evening, to which several hundred people came. They asked for measures to protect the population and better information about the extremely high air pollution.
"We breathe air that literally kills us," said protester Aleksandar Markovic (54). More than 10,000 people have now signed a petition calling for a fight against air pollution. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said: "The problem exists, but there is also a campaign that is sometimes grotesque."

Other major cities in the Balkans also have problems with air pollution in the winter – especially metropolitan areas in geographical areas such as Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina or Skopje in North Macedonia. The UN environmental program Unep last year examined air pollution in 19 cities in the Western Balkans. According to the report, air pollution in the cities surveyed resulted in nearly 5000 premature deaths annually. The main cause of the harmful emissions are power plants and heating.
Smog alarms have also been raging in parts of Italy for days. In Rome, a driving ban for diesel vehicles was still in effect until at least Friday. Nevertheless, the fine dust values at the measuring stations did not drop. Elevated values have also been measured in Turin for days, where driving bans have been imposed. Cities like Piacenza, Parma or Modena were also affected. One of the reasons for the bad air is the persistent dry weather. (AP)

Q: Change text of a Textview by clicking Button [2 activities] I have two activities in my project (ChooseLevel and ShowTraining). In the first activity i have a Button, and in the second activity i have a Textview.
My problem is that when i try to click the button (and start the second activity with an intent), i want to change the text of the second activity's textview, but my app crashes. I have already searched some posts here on stackoverflow but the problem still remains.
This is the first class:
public class ChooseLevel extends AppCompatActivity {
Button firstlevel;
TextView tv;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_level);

    firstlevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.firstlevelBtn);
    tv  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titleTextTraining); //this is the textview of the second activity

   firstlevel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //start the second activity
            Intent showTrainings = new Intent(ChooseLevel.this, ShowTrainings.class);
            startActivity(showTrainings);
            tv.setText("Some text here"); //change the text of the textview

        }
    });
}

The XML files of these two activities are ok.
How can i solve?
Thanks to everyone

A: Simply, you cant do what you are trying to do with findViewById().
findViewById() looks for the requested view on the content of the calling view.
So if you call it from the activity it will look for the view on the contentView you set with setContentView(), thats why its returning null.
You should pass the text to the second activity via Intent extra, then before you set the contentView of the second activity you can call findViewById() and change its text.
To pass the text via intent
Intent showTrainings = new Intent(ChooseLevel.this, ShowTrainings.class);
showTraining.putStringExtra("extrakey","YourTextHere");

then on the other side
String text = getIntent().getStringExtra("extrakey");

Hope this helps.

A: tv  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titleTextTraining);

You can't get TextView in Activity2 when you are in Activity1.
You should skip to Activity2 and change TextView in it.

A: One way you can setText to your second Activity is by passing your value from first Activity to the second Activity, in this case you can use the intent.putExtra() method. So how do you do this?
Well, in the first class, ie the class from where you are passing the data,
    public class ChooseLevel extends AppCompatActivity {
Button firstlevel;
TextView tv;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_level);

    firstlevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.firstlevelBtn);
    //tv  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titleTextTraining); //this is the textview of the second activity

   firstlevel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //start the second activity
            Intent showTrainings = new Intent(ChooseLevel.this, ShowTrainings.class);
            showTrainings.putExtra("TEXTID", "THE TEXT YOU WANT TO PASS");
            startActivity(showTrainings);

        }
    });
}

And in the showTrainings class, you can receive this value like:
    String receive;

if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
            if(extras == null) {
                receive= null;
            } else {
                receive= extras.getString("TEXTID");
            }
        } else {
            receive= (String) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("TEXTID");
        }

And then you can set the Received text to TextView like:
  tv  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titleTextTraining);
 tv.setText(receive);

A: Do this:
ChooseLevel.java
public class ChooseLevel extends Activity {
    Button firstlevel;
    TextView tv;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_level);

        firstlevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.firstlevelBtn);

        firstlevel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //start the second activity
                Intent showTrainings = new Intent(ChooseLevel.this, ShowTrainings.class);
                showTrainings.putExtra("textValue", "Some Text");
                startActivity(showTrainings);
            }
        });
    }
}

ShowTrainings.java
public class ShowTrainings extends Activity {
    Button firstlevel;
    TextView tv;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_level);

        tv  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titleTextTraining);
        String str = getIntent().getStringExtra("textValue");
        if(str != null) {
            tv.setText(str);
        }
    }
}

The amended Finnish Marriage Act entered into force on 1 March 2017. In its current form, the law enables same-sex marriages and thus challenges the Church's notion of marriage.
According to the Church, marriage is a union between a woman and a man; this was also the General Synod's position, which it announced in its November 2015 report.
The Bishops' Conference on the Church's current marriage doctrine also stated in August 2016 that the right of pastors to officiate church marriages would remain unchanged in 2017, when the amended legislation took effect.
In the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, the marriage ceremony is governed by the Finnish church order (1055/1993) and the agenda. Pastors must observe these documents when officiating wedding ceremonies and consecrating civil marriages.
Church members, pastors and bishops nevertheless have differing views on the marriage issue. Several pastors have already married same-sex couples, which has resulted in complaints being made to the diocesan chapters in question. Because diocesan chapters exercise independent discretion in supervising pastors, they may resolve these complaints differently.
The General Synod resolves doctrinal issues
The General Synod resolves the church's doctrinal issues, such as its notion of marriage. Important issues – including marriage teachings – require a three-quarters majority to pass at the General Synod.
The Bishops' Conference, the Church Council, diocesan boards and synod representatives can all propose doctrinal issues to the General Synod. Even proposals made by ordinary parish members may proceed to the General Synod.
The effects of the new marriage law
At the General Synod's request, the Church Council's plenum prepared a legal account about how the new marriage law affects the church. According to the account,
the amended Marriage Act allows the church to maintain its right to independently define its marriage practices.
the amended act does not oblige pastors to marry same-sex couples.
same-sex marriages officiated by a pastor are valid if the ceremony meets the preconditions and formal requirements in the Marriage Act.
same-sex couples will face no repercussions if they are married by a pastor. Diocesan chapters determine any possible repercussions to the pastor.
experts do not see any constitutional grounds for the Church to change its notion of marriage and its marriage practices. In time, however, legislation and rules should be reconciled to the extent possible.

Bedford House Stables was the main training yard of Luca Cumani. After Cumani's retirement at the end of the 2018 flat racing season, the yard was purchased by trainer Charlie Fellowes.

It is located next to the prestigious Bury Road in Newmarket, Suffolk, and became a British Listed building on 30 October 2006. The original construction dates to the 1820s and was built for Francis Russell, 7th Duke of Bedford. Upon his death, the property changed hands multiple times, eventually being bought by horse racing enthusiast James Octavius Machell.  In 1892, the property was sold to Henry McCalmont.

Home Health MMJ Scientists Develop New Life-Saving Vaccine That Destroys Opioids Before Reaching the Brain
Scientists Develop New Life-Saving Vaccine That Destroys Opioids Before Reaching the Brain
byMike Adams
As the United States government struggles to come up with effective methods to combat the opioid crisis, scientists have emerged with a new vaccine designed to not only prevent folks from suffering a fatal overdose, but one that will also stop prescription painkillers from producing the feel good effects that keeps the junkie brain coming back for more.
The scientific minds at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI)—one the largest, private non-profit research facilities in the world—have developed what is being called a "oxy/hydro vaccine," which is a mega-defense drug-serum intended to prevent drugs like oxycodone and hydrocodone from producing the highly sought after pain-numbing effects that lead to addiction. The vaccine could also be used to prevent opioid overdose deaths, according to a study published in the latest edition of the journal ACS Chemical Biology.
"We saw both blunting of the drug's effects and, remarkably, prevention of drug lethality," Kim D. Janda, the Ely R. Callaway Jr. Professor of Chemistry and member of the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at TSRI, said in a statement. "The protection against overdose death was unforeseen but clearly of enormous potential clinical benefit."
The study, which was supported through a grant provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, shows the vaccine is different from other opioid antidotes in the way that it is more of a preventative measure rather than a last ditch effort to keep a drug addict alive.
Researchers explain the vaccine as a force that inspires the immune system to detect, hunt down and eliminate any and all opioid medications that enter the body. Essentially, the antibodies contained in the injection cleverly persuade the immune system to consider opioids the enemy, which prompts it to launch a full-blown, seek and destroy mission to eradicate the drug's presence before it ever reaches the brain.
"The vaccine approach stops the drug before it even gets to the brain," said Cody J. Wenthur, who co-authored the study. "It's like a preemptive strike."
Interestingly, the vaccine does not appear to be a weak concoction by any stretch of the imagination. Researchers reported that the antibodies injected into mice were still coursing through their veins after 60 days. They believe the vaccine even has the capacity to survive beyond that timeframe—potentially making it a revolutionary discovery in combating addiction.
The study authors said more research is needed in order to properly understand this phenomenon, but they feel confident that once they have a better grip on this aspect of the vaccine, it could then evolve into something even more effective than what they believe it to be at this point.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 80 Americans die each day from overdoses of prescription drugs like oxycodone and hydrocodone. In fact, the mortality rate stemming from overdoses of these types of medications have quadrupled since 1999.

China Recognizes Dominican Republic — We Should Worry
By Evan Ellis / REvanEllis / May 10, 2018
On May 1, 2018, the Dominican Republic established diplomatic tieswith the People's Republic of China (PRC), obligating the Republic of China (ROC) to cut its own 77-year long political relationship with the country. The change by the Dominican government left just 19 countries globally that officially recognize the ROC as the legitimate government of all of China.
Of these, 10 of the remaining (more than half) are in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The official acceptance of the Dominican government's action by the PRC provided further indication that the informal "diplomatic truce" that prevailed with the PRC during the KMT government of Ma Jing-yeou in Taiwan from 2008 until 2016 has come to an end. Following elections in Taiwan in January 2016 that brought to power Tsai Ing-wen and her Democratic Progressive Party to power led the PRC to again accept the offers of (and even to court), countries wishing to change their diplomatic relations from Taiwan to the PRC.
The initial PRC steps in this direction began in Africa with the PRC establishing diplomatic relations with Gambia in March 2016, followed by Sao Tome and Principe in December. That renewed competition extended to Latin America in June of 2017 with Panama's recognition of the PRC.
The recent similar act by the Dominican Republic indicates that the PRC will continue its diplomatic struggle with Taiwan in the Western Hemisphere, with further recognizing the PRC even prior to the end of 2018 not unthinkable. Yet whichever country is next to change its diplomatic posture on China, the concentration of the countries still recognizing the ROC in Central America (Belize, El Salvador Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) and the Caribbean (Haiti, St. Kitts and Nevis, the Grenadines and St. Lucia) suggests that the struggle, and the gestures that accompany it on China's part, will bring about a significant increase in Chinese commerce, loans, investment activities, and even military engagement in the near term, in uncomfortably close proximity to US shores.
In the days since the Dominican Republic's change, the associated activity and discourse has followed a familiar pattern. The Dominican government gave Taiwan 30 days to retire its diplomatic personnel, and Taiwan announced the immediate suspension of its aid programs.
Although the Taiwanese government accused the PRC of bribing the Dominican Republic with $3 billion in loans to change their position (a criticism echoed by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.), the Dominican government denied that it had received any quid pro quo from the PRC for its action, other than assurances that Dominicans studying in Taiwan on scholarships would have the opportunity to continue their studies in the PRC (presumably via funds from the PRC organization Hanban).
As in other cases, the change in diplomatic recognition by the Dominican Republic has raised hope within its business community for an expansion in the nation's exports to the PRC. The country's lopsided trade balance with mainland China is not atypical, particularly for states lacking relations with mainland China. During the period 2012 to 2016, the Dominican Republic's total exports to the PRC, $1.3 billion, were eclipsed by imports from China of $6.54 billion.
Indeed, prior to the change, Dominican exports to the PRC had been steadily declining, from $273.8 million in 2015 to $85 million in 2017. Also paralleling the experience of many other Latin American and Caribbean countries, Dominican exports to the PRC are mostly comprised of low value added commodities, including copper, nickel, and zinc,while its imports from the PRC include a broad range of higher value added manufactured goods.

Food Traceability Regulations: Understanding Universal Standards, Regional Differences and What It Takes to Ensure Food Safety and Compliance
Explore Food Traceability
FSMA
Between the greater emphasis on public health brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and consumers' increasing demands for transparency and safety on the part of brands they support, food traceability regulations and legislation are hot topics of late.
Amidst all the discussion, it can be difficult to determine how the various administering agencies differ and what standards are applicable to your company. Some requirements pertain only to specific regions or verticals, so certain expectations will be more relevant to your operations depending on where your facilities are located and which segment your products fall under.
That being said, your business will need to be prepared to meet increasingly stringent traceability standards going forward, regardless of the nature of your organization. Having a broader understanding of the full scope of the many existing programs and the purposes behind them can help you to fulfill your obligations and account for any impending changes.
In this post, we'll provide some greater context behind food traceability legislation, the universally accepted sets of standards that exist, and the different regional requirements as laid out by law. Read on for the full deep dive and a firm grasp of what these developments mean for the industry at large and your organization in particular.
The first major international agreement on food safety standards was established by members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the Codex Alimentarius. This established the "Recommended International Code of Practice – General Principles of Food Hygiene," which was based on the provisions laid out by Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).
Other organizations and their standards have also been embraced on a global level. Each of the following have created more detailed requirements specifically related to ingredient and product traceability:
The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), launched in 2000, is widely regarded as one of the top international authorities on food traceability. Specifically, its incorporation of GS1 labeling standards has helped to push traceability efforts forward.
The Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI), which is a division of the Food Industry Association (FMI), built upon previous traceability standards and grants the well-recognized SQF certification for those food and beverage businesses that demonstrate a commitment to a culture of food safety.
Foundation FSSC created the Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000)—which defines the risks and hazards in food and beverage manufacturing that can be effectively managed with sound traceability procedures—as well as Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs) by product segment.
BRC Global Standards (BRCGS) cover traceability with specific regards to handling, storage, distribution and packaging. A related certification that is recognized in more than 130 countries can be obtained from any of a number of auditing organizations.
Current Good Manufacturing Processes (cGMP) originally began under the auspices of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but have since been adopted internationally for minimizing risks in production, processing and packaging of food and beverage products.
While it's unlikely that any of these agencies are new to you as a food and beverage business professional, it's vital to understand that collectively, the guidance they provide forms the basis of modern best practices for traceability, as well as the following regional regulations.
Food Traceability Regulations in the U.S.
Interestingly, the very first stipulations for food and beverage traceability in the United States were laid out in the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, which established the oft-cited "one step forward, one step backward" paradigm for tracking of materials and goods. Needless to say, the greater scrutiny placed on food safety in the intervening years has led to some significant changes.
Those began with the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA), of which Section 204 addresses traceability specifically. This put the responsibility for establishing a system for rapid tracking and tracing of food and beverage products on the businesses manufacturing them with a goal of mitigating the risks of a foodborne illness outbreak.
Then, in July 2020, the FDA published the blueprint for the New Era for Smarter Food Safety, which among other measures emphasizes the critical role that technology will play in advancing traceability efforts in the industry. The plan aims to encourage and incentivize adoption and promote digital transformation initiatives for higher visibility of information and greater agility in emergencies.
Now, the U.S. food and beverage market awaits the official passage of the Proposed Rule for Food Traceability. This 55-page document lays out the Food Traceability List (FTL)—a set of 16 foods that pose an elevated level of risk—as well as the Key Data Elements (KDEs) that must be captured at various Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) along the supply chain. Check out our full post on the Proposed Rule.
In the member states of the European Union, the General Food Law Regulation set forth by the European Food Safety Authority establishes the traceability requirements for food and beverage operators. The most important provisions are included in Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002, which states that a comprehensive system of traceability within food and beverage businesses is necessary to protect consumers from the risks of contaminations in the supply chain.
As stated in the legislation, the goal is to facilitate the withdrawal of faulty products from the market and provide consumers with accurate information. At the time of its original passage, the law did not specify the form or structure of the traceability systems it references, but more information and practical guidance has since been developed.
Several supplementary documents—including the Factsheet on Traceability published in 2007 and leaflet on Key Obligations of Food and Feed Business Operators—cover in more detail what is expected of food and beverage businesses on this front. What's more, a separate document on implementation of the law helps businesses put the necessary measures into practice.
Of note on this subject, the findings of a Global Food Traceability Center (GFTC) report indicate that EU countries rank higher than others around the world as far as the strength of their food traceability regulations and requirements, as well as member states' adherence to them. This demonstrates that, when effectively implemented, a codified set of mandatory requirements can improve outcomes even across a broad, diverse group of businesses.
In the wake of Brexit, food and beverage regulations in the United Kingdom have changed and evolved while retaining some relevant provisions laid out in EU legislation. While Northern Ireland remains subject to EU law alone, Great Britain, Wales and Scotland fall under the provision of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) as the government organization responsible for setting and enforcing traceability requirements.
A quick reference guide published by FSA specifies that food business operators (FBOs) must maintain traceability information for suppliers and customers—equivalent to the "one step forward, one step backward" model mentioned above. It also contains guidance on the necessary labels and identifiers that should be placed on products to facilitate this practice, as well as additional requirements for goods of animal origin and sprouted seeds.
Additionally, that same guide covers key steps in developing a food traceability system, the process for withdrawals and recalls, as well as where the responsibility for critical functions—like informing consumers of safety issues and disposing of contaminated goods—lies. By and large, the legislation places the onus on the FBOs to maintain complete records, devise their traceability approach and conduct the necessary steps in a recall.
Outside of the U.S., EU and UK, other countries have their own agencies for food safety and varying levels of regulation on traceability.
For example, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is responsible for safeguarding consumers from the risks of food safety emergencies, and its new Safe Food for Canadians Regulations are again modeled on the "one step forward, one step backward" paradigm. Meanwhile, the Agency's Food Safety Enhancement Program (FSEP) contains requirements specific for processed meat traceability.
In Australia and New Zealand, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand is comparable to the U.S.'s FDA in terms of its level of industry oversight, but thus far the organization has only laid out traceability regulations pertaining to livestock identification and movement. Japan has passed legislation for the traceability of beef products and rice, but provisions for other sectors are still in development.
China, which ranked poorly in the GFTC report referenced previously, is also still in the process of developing a set of traceability standards, though legislation regarding livestock and other niche sectors does exist.
We've discussed in some detail the many different agencies and bodies of law regarding traceability around the world, and while that knowledge can be important for creating your strategy, you still may feel like you lack the tools to effectively manage an organization-wide traceability plan. This is why digital transformation in the food industry, and the implementation of industry-specific solutions, is so important.
With an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that can integrate with handheld barcode scanners and update your database with critical product information in real time, you can be assured that your data is complete. You can also import information from your supply chain partners to make sure you have the necessary means to track contaminations to their source.
An advanced food erp platform, like Aptean Food & Beverage ERP, puts all of this power at your employees' fingertips with an intuitive, user-friendly interface built on the framework of Microsoft Dynamics 365. Better still, our offering can be deployed from the cloud for maximum flexibility and minimum up-front costs—not to mention better stability and security thanks to our dedicated IT teams and redundant offsite servers.

The Hangover House at 31172 Ceanothus Drive in South Laguna Beach was built for famed traveler Richard Halliburton in 1937. It sold in December for $3.2 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
The concrete home enjoys unobstructed ocean views, seen here from the main living area.
The former owner and Laguna native Zolita Scott, who inherited the home and several other parcels in Laguna – totaling 23 – from her mother, passed away in November 2010 and Hangover House was listed in a bankruptcy sale. Scott's parents, Wallace Thompson Scott and Zolite Elizabeth, a war general and a ballerina, spotted the concrete, modern masterpiece on the hill while driving down Pacific Coast Highway, according to their son and brother to the late Zolita, Mark Scott. Mark Scott said his parents "went to the auction (for the lost Halliburton's estate) on a whim in 1942" and purchased the property for $9,000.
Built by Levy, shown here, the Hangover House has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and ocean views on a 19,348-square-foot lot.
When Halliburton commissioned William Alexander Levy to construct the property, it took 15 months and $36,000 to build, according to the Laguna Beach Historical Society.
The home's high, hillside position provides sweeping ocean views from the property.
The house was named 'Hangover' to aptly describe the structure's precarious position on the hillside. In a letter Halliburton wrote to his parents, he said "The house rushes along. It is the most wonderful house in the world...I can't say in words how amazing it is...It doesn't sit: it flies!...It's inexhaustingly dramatic," according to an old architecture magazine obtained by The Register.
The Hangover or Halliburton home, as locals call it, was designed by architect William Alexander Levy and built from reinforced concrete and steel.
LAGUNA BEACH – Following a stop-work order last week, construction will continue on the historic Hangover House once its new owners provide detailed plans for interior changes, which include demolishing walls, bedroom closets and bathrooms.
The City Council voted 3-2 at a special meeting Wednesday morning to lift the order once staff receives the additional information. On April 17, work at the house came to a halt when questions came up on the extent of changes at the architecturally significant concrete structure that was once home to Richard Halliburton.
The famed adventurer, who reportedly perished at sea, commissioned architect William Alexander Levy to build the hillside home of reinforced concrete and steel in 1937, according to the Laguna Beach Historical Society. The name 'Hangover' was chosen to aptly reflect the home's precarious position on the South Laguna hillside, offering dramatic, unobstructed ocean views.
The majority of council members agreed that a historical and environmental analysis weren't necessary to continue the interior renovations to the house. Councilman Kelly Boyd said the city should continue to monitor renovations, but allow the homeowner to continue the current project.
All who spoke praised the current homeowners for taking on the extensive repairs necessary at the property. While remodeling, the owners aim to maintain the original nature of the house.
The storied property fell to bankruptcy sale after longtime owner Zolita Scott died in November 2010. It sold for $3.2 million in December 2011, according to the Multiple Listing Service and Fred James Zaharson of Westend Properties, who represented both the seller and buyer in the sale.
Scott inherited the property from her parents – Wallace Thompson Scott, a war general and Zolite Elizabeth, a ballerina – who in 1942 purchased the property on a whim for $9,000 after Halliburton was lost at sea, according to their son, Mark Scott. Halliburton and companion, journalist Paul Mooney, died while attempting to sail from Hong Kong to San Francisco's Golden Gate International Expo in 1939, according to an article by Jennifer Rabbit.
Because of its connection to Halliburton and its concrete construction – a technological feat in 1937 – preservation advocates said any demolition should be put on hold and have more oversight.
Some architects spoke of the benefits of having a plan for renovations and rehabilitation to the property as a whole, and others described the need for repairs to continue as soon as possible to the deteriorating home.
Architect Anders Lasater described his longtime love of the house and said he could see both sides of the issue.
While interior changes usually don't factor into historic preservation, architectural historian Alan Hess said the unique concrete slab construction of the Hangover House makes demolishing walls inside problematic.
In spite of the differing opinions on immediate next steps, many voices stressed the need to prevent future restorations from hitting similar speed bumps.
The Hangover House is the latest historic home to come before the City Council after a dispute on preservation. Issues have come up recently over historical integrity, illegal demolition and whether the homes identified by the city's Historic Resources Inventory are truly historic.
Architect Marshall Ininns said if the Hangover House's interior is part of what gives it historic significance, the homeowner should have been informed before demolition began. To prevent surprises on future projects, he said the city should redo its historic inventory.
