Dance Troupe Performs Tribute to Fare Evading Protesters
Some international tax resistance news to wind up the old year:
Fares in the government-run Mexico City metro system went up by 66% recently, and that's making commuters hopping mad. They've formed a movement hashtagged #PosMeSalto (roughly, "Well then, I'll jump") and are encouraging passengers to leap the turnstiles and board without paying. Here are some photos of a modern dance troupe doing turnstile-vaults in the Coyoacan station to promote the protest.
The Bonnets Rouges are still at it. three more traffic radar installations went up in flames a few nights back, in a reemergence of the tactic that has resulted in the destruction of more than 210 such installations since the beginning of the movement.
Thanks to Ran Prieur for plugging The Picket Line recently.

November 27, 2009 – Elementary school students from grades 4 through 6, from across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) came together at the Ontario Science Centre to test and expand their knowledge of tree identification and conservation at the 56th annual Tree Bee competition, an initiative of the Ontario Forestry Association (OFA). As a sponsor of the event, Trees Ontario donated a tree seedling for every student participant to take home and plant.
This year's competition saw eight schools from across the GTA participate for a total of 84 student, who all showed great interest and knowledge in the environment. The winning team of this year's Tree Bee was from Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School in Pickering, who were also the Tree Bee winners last year.
The winning team and their coaches from the 2007 Tree Bee will attend the Lieutenant Governor's Reception at Queen's Park in December to present a holiday tree to the Honourable David C. Onley, vice-regal officer and Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. The winning team from this year will have that honour next year, which in this case happens to be the same team.
Tree Bee is an exciting educational experience for elementary students to explore the world of nature, forestry and conservation. The students identify tree species from slides of leaves, bark, buds etc. and must then complete a list of multiple-choice questions focused on conservation. Once all of the teams have submitted their test sheets, teachers and judges begin the process of marking and determining the top teams. The competition gives students a chance to represent their schools in a friendly, exciting and challenging way.

Come On Now, Kike. No One Wants to Bang Nimrata Randhawa.
So the kike who wrote the book "Fire and Fury," Michael Wolff, has come out and claimed that Donald Trump is having an affair with Nimrata Randhawa.
Real thing.
Politico:
Nikki Haley became a trusted member of Donald Trump's inner circle over the past year, but she's recently refamiliarized herself with a downside of professional success: rumors of an affair, this time with the president of the United States.
Trump's ambassador to the United Nations calls the chatter "highly offensive" and "disgusting," the result of what happens far too often to strong women.
The online speculation was instigated by "Fire and Fury" author Michael Wolff, who dropped hints on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week when he said he was "absolutely sure" Trump is having an affair — just not sure enough to write about it in his book. Wolff went on to say that discriminating readers would be able to determine the president's paramour by giving his book a close reading: "Now that I've told you, when you hit that paragraph, you're gonna say, 'Bingo.'"
Readers quickly homed in on a single sentence in the runaway best-seller, which has been criticized for everything from sloppy copy editing to gross factual inaccuracies. Wolff writes, "The president had been spending a notable amount of private time with Haley on Air Force One and was seen to be grooming her for a national political future."
"It is absolutely not true," Haley said, arguing that Wolff not only has his facts wrong, but that his insinuation is similar to other attacks that she and other successful women have faced when they've been forced to swat down suggestions they've slept their way to the top.
Obviously to make this claim, it had to be a known person close to him.
The reason that Wolff went with her when making this allegation is that she has this long history of sleeping her way to the top. Liberal bloggers have written about this for years. And even for people who don't know that history, she just looks like a whore.
But come on now, Wolff.
You think Trump is going to hit that dried-up old Paki?
Why would he do that? What would even be the point, when he has a GODDESS-TIER woman in his bed at home?
The Jew effectively discredits the entire book by adding this goofy and childish claim as a post-script.
The Jews keep turning up the dial on their lies, and this "he's screwing Nimrata" is the shark-jump. I don't know how anything can be any dumber than this.
Wolff is now playing a game claiming that he did not actually suggest this, even though he did, because he didn't actually say her name.
Wolff went on Morning Joe this week and got kicked off the show for this rumoring and his kike weaselry.
He then went on Twitter.
My bad, the President is right about Mika.
— Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) February 1, 2018
To be invited on a show with the purpose of being thrown off…is the new television.
In other words, I had to say what Mika wanted me to say, or else…the hook!
And let me repeat: Nikki Haley has chosen to vociferously deny something she was not accused of.
The last time I was on Morning Joe off camera Joe and Mika eager to gossip about who Trump might be sleeping with.
It really would be hard to gossip more eagerly off camera than Mika and Joe gossip.
It's a good time.

There are vast amounts of allergens that bother humans. Some of the commonplace allergens that end up in your home are pollen, pet dander, molds, air pollution, and household dust. Some allergens are working all year round. Dusts, molds and animal dander are present in many homes, offices and public areas.
According to both the American Lung Association and the EPA, if you or your loved ones suffer from respiratory ailments such as asthma or allergies, these toxins can further increase your health risk and heighten your symptoms. Even if you do not suffer from allergies, these toxins can cause you to experience allergy-like symptoms such as a runny nose, congestion, coughing, chills and even fever. Very few allergens are harder to ignore than airborne indoor allergens. Dust accumulates in your ductwork. It gets blown back into the air whenever your heating or air conditioning fan turns on. And with the high humidity of summertime – and the humidifier on in the winter – your ductwork can also be a very welcoming environment for mold.
Perennial allergies and seasonal allergies produce identical symptoms. In both cases, a common source of relief is keeping your air ducts clean! If it has been a while since you have had your ducts and dryer vents cleaned, call us today. Make your home a healthy and safe place to live by contacting Duct Cleaning Simi Valley, your premier air duct cleaning company in Simi Valley. We look forward to working with you!

Q: Get (inner edge) contour pixel with opencv I'm searching for a way to extract the "inner" contours of a binary image with opencv. I know that findContours extracts contours but I need the silhouette pixel which belong to the thresholded object in my binary image and not the outer contours.
Here is a fictive image which describes better what I'm searching for. I am searching for a method to extract the red contour.

I already tried a naive approach in copying the original binary image and shrinking the copy by 2 pixels each side and filling up the edges with black pixels and used findContoursbut the outcome is not satisfying.

A: You could just run findContours() on the negative image.

A: Little update:
I solved it with opencv erosion and dilatation.

A tribute to Jack Dromey, MP for Birmingham, Erdington
On the 7th January, national media reported the sudden death of Jack Dromey MP at the age of 73. Everyone at The Pioneer Group was deeply shocked and saddened by his death, and all send our deepest condolences to his wife and children, wider family and friends.
Jack had served as the MP for Birmingham, Erdington constituency since 2011. Prior to that, he had been one of the country's trade union leaders advocating and supporting for his members on a range of issues including the 5,500 MG Rover workers who lost their jobs in Longbridge in 2005. Through the years, he had worked tirelessly to support employment in his constituency particularly at Castle Bromwich JLR site and more recently supporting GKN workers under the threat of redundancy.
As the Constituency MP, he was very active and supporting community partnerships and grass roots organisations, including The Pioneer Group. In particular, Jack was Chair of Castle Vale's Neighbourhood Partnership for the last four years, one of the legacy organisations from the original regeneration programme. Building on previous Chairs' work, including Lord Rooker and Lord Corbett, he played a vital role in co-ordinating the development of a long-term neighbourhood plan for Castle Vale. This has brought in social investment of nearly £4m during this time and the development of a range of employment, wellbeing and community support initiatives. He carried this out through a consensual approach, working with the local Conservative Councillor, Suzanne Webb and a range of community partners.
Jack has been particularly active in supporting the community response to the COVID-19 pandemic, chairing weekly partnership meetings, facilitated by Witton Lodge Community Association. This has been instrumental in supporting households requiring food, welfare, wellbeing and employment support. Again, he worked consensually with Councillor Robert Alden, Erdington Conservative Councillor, and a host of partners to support of the needs of residents, communities and businesses across the city of Birmingham.
Over the last two years Jack has been active in bringing to the fore the impact of exempt housing on vulnerable residents and the wider community in Stockland Green and in developing appropriate responses through local agencies including the securing of funding through the Police and Crime Commissioners Office and City Council for a Safer Streets programme.
As a community Housing Association operating in some of the core communities in Erdington and North East Birmingham, the loss of Jack's leadership, support and consensual approach will be sadly missed. Our thoughts at this time are with his wife Harriet Harman, M.P. and family.
Simon Wilson, CEO of The Pioneer Group, says:
Jack was so much more than a hard working constituency MP; he had a real passion and sense of purpose in his work to fight for every constituency and make their lives better. He has been an unwavering supporter of our work and that of all social landlords and partners working across the communities. Jack advocated for his constituents across many issues, not least ensuring they had secure, well-paid work and decent housing and communities in which they can thrive. He had chaired the Castle Vale Neighbourhood Partnership Board for many years and done so in a way that paid no regard to tribal politics – it was always about getting the best possible outcome for the people he served. He was the best MP I have ever had the privilege to work alongside and he will leave a huge chasm in our communities that will be hard to fill. My thoughts are with his family, friends, his wife, children, grandchildren who he spoke of frequently and with such joy.
Sue Spicer, Vice Chair of Castle Vale Community Partnership, says:
Jack has carried on with the tradition of providing senior leadership to the Castle Vale Community Partnership building on the likes of Lord Corbett of Castle Vale and Lord Rooker. Over the last four years, he has helped the partnership in securing funding for a range of community projects and fought for the support of residents throughout our communities. Jack always had the people at the heart of everything he did, and his legacy shall live on through the lives he has touched. We will always be whole-heartedly grateful for his dedication, and he shall be deeply missed.

Stories of a Nation
Scott F. Abernathy - University of Minnesota, USA
Introduction to American Government | Introduction to American Government
February 2023 | 640 pages | CQ Press
American government is not just one story—it's many stories. Our stories. And they are still being told.
In the Fourth Edition of American Government: Stories of a Nation, author Scott F. Abernathy tunes in to the voices of all Americans, showing how our diverse ideas shape the way we participate and behave, the laws we live by, and the challenges we face. His storytelling approach brings the core concepts of government to life, making them meaningful and memorable, and allows all students to see themselves reflected in the pages. Participation is at the heart of this groundbreaking text, with ample background on how we participate and why.
Not only will all students see themselves reflected in the pages, but they will come to understand that they, too, are strategic players in American politics, with voices that matter.

The careful, deliberate, and inclusive approach of American Government: Stories of a Nation does more than any other text to ensure that all students see themselves as part of the narrative of American government and political culture. As a result, all of my students are more engaged with the material and in class discussion.
Andrew Civettini
One of my goals in teaching American Government is to shrink the distance my students feel between themselves and their government. American Government: Stories of a Nation is the best textbook I have found to help me do this. Each chapter contains just the right balance of historical and contemporary narrative to show students that they are part of a story that has been unfolding for more than two-hundred years. Abernathy is a storyteller, but he is also a political scientist, and I appreciate his commitment to tell the American story with solid research from the field.

Learning Objectives at the start of each chapter guide students through their studies and are tied to features throughout the chapter to ensure those objectives are met.
Each chapter begins with a compelling narrative about real people that illuminates a central issue or problem the chapter will deal with, bringing those concepts to life.

How candidates during the 2020 and 2022 elections adapted their campaign strategies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
The promise and challenge of more inclusive representation in Congress; and
How individual presidents cultivate and present their own individual power in office.
Practicing Political Science boxes help students become more capable and critical readers of arguments made through data, images, and text.

Personal Details: Bluey was the youngest son of William John Homewood, known as John, and Martha Emma Homewood (nee Hill), who had eleven children. Following the death of his mother when Bluey was just two, the family moved down to Drury, south of Auckland. Bluey attended Drury School, but at the age of 12 he left home and school to become a farm labourer. His first job was on a farm near Drury owned by the grandfather of today's TradeMe owner and well known economist Gareth Morgan. Bluey loved it there but aft a couple of years the Morgans shifted away and he got another job down the road at a different farm. This place was not so good, and at around the age of 15 he walked out, with the intention of becoming a swagman. However his old schoolmate Bill Darwin met him on the road and talked him out of this, and the Darwin family took him in as part of their family.
Service Details: At the time in the mid to late 1930's when many young men were joining theTerritorial Army, Bluey's mate Bill Darwin suggested they should apply for the Territorial Air Force instead. Bill''s main reason was he thought the blue uniform would be more attractive the the sheilas. They sent in application forms but never heard anything more from the RNZAF till just after the war broke out in 1939, when Bluey, then working for Sharlands and Co in Auckland, was called up for RNZAF service.
After a period of waiting, and then an RNZAF medical where they decided he should have his tonsils out, Bluey spent two weeks in Hospital in December 1939. Then the Christmas and New Year break held him up further, and finally he was taken in on a basic course in February 1940, at RNZAF Station Levin, at Wereroa. Bluey's service records for his RNZAF service were purged in 1948-49 so sadly little detail of this time remains. However he was supposed to train as a Wireless Operator-Air Gunner.
Though he completed his basic course at Levin there was no WOp/AG course available yet for Bluey to go onto, so he was kept at Levin for a while simply awaiting orders. The highight of this time for him was being selected to march in the funeral cortege for the Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage, who'd died on the 27th of March 1940.
Shortly afterwards Bluey was posted to Wigram, which infuriated him as he'd still had no training and all he wanted to do was go to the war, yet Wigram was further away from the war than Levin was. On arrival he was placed into the Stores there, and was employed stacking boxes. He was also given night duties, pushing aircraft around the tarmac and helping with refueling during night flying training. Frustration was growing at not being given a place on a course, and almost daily he would visit the station Headquarters to aks the station disciplinarian, Warrant Officer James "The Bull" Duncan (later a Squadron Leader) when he was being posted to his course. This invoked the rage of The Bull who would tell him to get back to work and stop making trouble.
Eventually Bluey's patience ran out. Whilst on a day off on the 15th of May 1940 he was walking through the Cathedral Square at Christchurch when he spotted an Army recruitment office. He decided to ask if he could sign on, and the Army said yes. A few days later the paperwork filtered through to the RNZAF and The Bull tore a strip of Bluey for signing onto the Army, but there was nothing he could do about it, and the RNZAF had to let him go.
So Bluey joined the Army, entering camp at Trentham in June 1940. Following a quick training there he nearly got onto a ship with the Third Echelon of the 2NZEF, however it was then the Army discovered that he'd put his age up when he'd signed on, claiming he was born in 1918 rather than 1921. So he was manpowered into the Reid Rubber Company working a lathe making rings for preserving jars.
On the 26th of August 1942 he once again entered camp with the Army at Auckland, and went through a long period of training at Narrow Neck, Hillcrest, Papakura, Patanui, Haywards, Paikakariki and Trentham before finally embarking aboard the Aquitania for the Middle East on the 5th of Januay 1943. So his plan in 1940 to speed up his passage to the war had not really worked.
After universal carrier training at Maadi Camp in Egypt, Bluey joined 21 Battalion at Tripoli. He went through the battles at Medenine and the Mareth Line, Starvation Hill at Takrouna, and the move towards Tunis before the desert war ended.
Returning to Maadi he was selected for a British Commando Course at the Canal Zone which was very tough and grueling but he loved it. He then embarked on the desert road march from Maadi to Burj Al Arab, and boarded the New Amsterdam for Taranto, Italy.
In the Italian campaign Bluey went right through all the major engagements the Battalion saw, from the Sangro River and the Orsogna Road, to Cassino where he took the first german prisoner taken by the Allies. He was also in the centre of the battle at Hotel des Roses in Cassino township where he was wounded. Later battles that stick in his mind include fighting at the Rubicon, coming under friendly fire from US P-47D Thunderbolts at the Po River, and the entry into Trieste among many other skirmishes. He rose to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant in the Army.
After the war Bluey was granted a farm by the Government at Bruntwood, Cambridge. Once he'd settled in there he rejoined the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant Territorial Officer and served from May 1951 as infantry in the Territorial Army, and then from April 1953 through till April 1954 as part of the Cambridge-based artillery unit, the 5th Light Regiment, RNZA.
Connection with Cambridge: Bluey moved to Bruntwood, Cambridge, in the early 1950's when he was granted a farm from the Government. he lived there for several years before moving to Paihia for many years, and then settling in retirement in Whangarei. He is the great-uncle of the website owner Dave Homewood.
Above: Bluey at RNZAF Station Levin during his Air Force Initial Training Wing days. He is standing second from the right in the back row. Note the mix of uniforms and civilian clothing, perhaps this is the day they were issued their uniforms.

Goals and highlights: Manchester United 2-0 West Brom
Watch Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata's goals for Manchester United against West Brom as they earned a 2-0 win in the Premier League.

Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 with goals from new first team member Jesse Lingard and winger Juan Mata.
Mata converted from the spot after Anthony Martial sprinted down the centre of the pitch only to be brought down by Gareth McAuley, who was sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
This match was a chance to welcome back Darren Fletcher, Jonny Evans and Anders Lindegaard to Old Trafford, all of whom had joined West Brom over the last 12 months.
The game was notable for seeing a rare Wayne Rooney substitution, who was replaced with 10 minutes left to play after another dispiriting performance in attack. There were audible ironic cheers when he was taken off by Louis van Gaal, and United's second goal came in his absence. Ander Herrera replaced him, the casualty for the introduction of Lingard as a first choice left winger.

This event brings together the work of New York-based artists and filmmakers Bahar Behbahani and Jon Wang as part of Short Shadows, an ongoing moving image series at EMPAC curated by Vic Brooks. The evening will engage themes and processes of displacement and longing, as well as narratives of transformation that run through Behbahani and Wang's work.
Bahar Behbahani's We Were Missing A Present is a meditative study on the social and topographical transformations of the cultural landscape. By exploring the site of the garden as a place of contest, Behbahani seeks an alternative dynamic between power and control. United by her research-based practice, the various components of this project including moving image, brush strokes, body movement, sound, text, and water are utilized by Behbahani to provoke spatial memory while observing the inherent complexities of material resources. We Were Missing A Present re-imagines the historical structure of landscape, botany, migration, and the processes of colonization. Behbahani expresses sincere gratitude to Imani's family for facilitating the garden visits in Shiraz, Iran, and dedicates We Were Missing a Present to the people of Shiraz in the wake of recent flooding this week.
New York-based Iranian artist Bahar Behbahani's work addresses her long-term conceptual dialogues with memory and loss. Through painting, video, and participatory performance, she revisits Iran's psychogeographic landscapes. The Persian garden, a contested space marked by colonialism and seductive beauty, is a reoccurring site for reflection and recovery.
John Wang's From Its Mouth Came a River of High-End Residential Appliances is comprised of drone footage of Hong Kong's dragon gates, a series of gaps in modern high-rise buildings constructed to allow mythological dragons to fly from the mountains to the sea. Originally shot for a documentary, the work has since taken on a life of its own. In its different stagings, the footage has masqueraded as a personal screensaver (MUBI), wallpaper in a Chinatown motel (Images Festival), and as a location for a live soap opera taping (Triple Canopy). At EMPAC, a new iteration of Wang's project will dematerialize into a wall of fog, finally revealing its true form as weather. As they describe, "fog is defined by a lack of visibility, but its opacity forms an image of its own." The footage was originally developed with the support of Triple Canopy & Charlotte Feng Ford.
Jon Wang generates films, sculptures, and performances that question notions of representation and desire. Wang's treatments of pace—at times drawing on techniques of voice-over narration, tenants of feng shui, and the day-to-day activities of silk worms—gesture towards the ways in which beings and their surroundings are in states of perpetual transition. In this sense, pace, as a techno-sensual material, both grounds and disrupts their atmospheric videos and installations.
Whether anchored in real or fictional scenarios, each artwork presented in the Short Shadows series stretches beyond a singular moment or place to foreground the political importance of unexpected historical interconnections. Mostly produced within the last decade, the artists' films, videos, poetry, and performances presented here shine a light on cultural and historical events that may otherwise remain in shadow.

He worked a series of 12-hour shifts in a bid to search through the rubble that was the World Trade Center for survivors, and later campaigned for higher wages for all firefighters in the country. He even got arrested along with nineteen other people for protesting the closing down several fire stations including his old place of work in 2003.
He returned to support protestors again in 2011, and just four years ago he was named Honorary Battalion Chief of the FDNY, even starring in a documentary for HBO entitled 'A Good Job: Stories of the FDNY'.
Few people are aware of Buscemi's work following 9/11, largely because he refused to take part in photo opportunities or interviews at that time. The work was just too important to waste time acknowledging his star status, and the tragedy too painful to be distracted.

Netflix has announced its next original production, a horror series based on the movie 'The curse' , the iconic film of Japanese origin that is considered one of the classics of the horror genre.
We must remember that this is not the platform's first commitment to this type of series and, as has been shown in other successes on the platform such as 'Stranger Things' or 'The Curse of Hill House', this type of genre is welcomed with very good acceptance by your audience .
The news of the production of this new project has been carried out at an event that the platform has held in Japan, and where it has been confirmed that the director of the series will be Sho Miyake and that it is expected that surelywe can see it on our screens next 2020 .

The new horror series will be based on the 'Ju-On' saga, one of the most famous fictions , and also parodies, of the horror genre. The original movie on which the new Netflix series will be based premiered in 2000, directed by director Takashi Shimizu.
The film was a great success at the box office, which was unexpected , and led to the creation of two more films, which were released in 2002 and 2003. But the franchise did not end here, and in 2009, coinciding with the tenth anniversary, they were released. two more movies Finally, in 2014 and 2015 the last two installments were released.
To all these films, we must add the3 American remakes and adaptations (known in our country as 'The Scream') and the different parodies that have been made of this franchise, making it one of the most successful and longest horror sagas in film history.
But even if it seems otherwise, the franchise is far from dead, and, in addition to the new series that Netflix will launch, another remake is expected to be made for the big screen that could hit theaters in early 2020 .
Scene from the movie 'Ju-on' | Lions Gate Home Entertainment
What will the series be like?
According to the director of the series, Nicolas Pesce, the new fiction will be a very different version of 'The curse' that we saw in the past. He believes that fans of the horror genre are currently looking for much more earthly and realistic fiction, with stories that are much more focused and based on the characters.
For this reason, they will give it a new focus and spin to produce a series with a more intelligent and nuanced story , aided by an incredible cast of actors.
The story of the new Netflix horror series will focus on a curse that falls on a house in Tokyo . Takeo Saeki, believing that her wife was unfaithful to him, murders her along with her son Toshio and her cat. The consequences of this fateful murder and the curse of the Saeki family will fall on all those who come close.
