A high quality magazine for M4 style airsoft guns produced by JG. It features a realistic full metal build to STANAG proportions with indents and grooves to increase compatibly and handling. As a hi-cap (high-capacity) design it holds approximately 300 rounds. BB's are loaded from a trap door located at the top of the magazine and BB's are fed by manipulating its winding wheel via a gear at the bottom or winding key. Compatible with Tokyo Marui brand airsoft electric guns and its variants including JG, CYMA, D-Boys, G&G, ICS, CA, and more.
This mag works even better than the mag that came with my gun, and at a good price. Unlike with my pistol, the mag would cost me $30.
this mag is a nice wind up mag that hold a good limit. i only bought since the mag my gun came with inly holds 300 so i got an extra. i only have one problem, you have to hit it hard into the gun for it to stay or else the mag will fall out. plus after you jam it in its still wobbley so if you hit it hard it can fall out.

La Casa del Almirante, o Palacio del Almirante, o Palacio de los Cabanillas Berrozpe, de Tudela (Navarra) es un edificio de la arquitectura civil de esta ciudad, un palacio renacentista de los más interesantes de la España de mediados del siglo XVI. Está situado en la calle Rúa, en el Casco Antiguo de la ciudad, junto a la trasera del edificio consistorial, y en la actualidad es la sede de la Fundación María Forcada.

Descripción general
La actual mansión plateresca sustituyó a una previa mansión de la que se conserva la gran escalera primitiva de planta cuadrada. La actual es una casona de tres plantas construida en ladrillo y que culmina con una galería de arquillos y una alero profusamente decorado. El patio es rectangular y de gran sobriedad, articulándose según los esquemas aragoneses del momento. Destaca la ornamentación de sus dos grandes balcones de la primera planta, con una espléndida decoración plateresca formada con figuras antropomorfas en alto relieve. Entre los balcones y el alero existe un friso en relieve.

Responde a un «modelo palacial muy generalizado en el valle del Ebro con fachada de ladrillo, galería de arquillos en el remate y alero de madera», muy similar al Palacio del Marqués de San Adrián (Tudela). La misma fuente, en otra voz, afirma que, probablemente, los autores de ambos palacios sean los mismos, al tiempo que nos describe la fachada, del siglo XVII, «en ladrillo de gran altura presenta dos balcones con elementos decorativos cuyos remates están encuadrados por tres estípites antropormóficos, femeninos los extremos y masculino el central, alzado éste sobre un soporte serliano formado por troncos entrelazados. Remata la fachada un friso de grutescos culminado por un alero saliente de madera».

Historia del edificio
Fue construido entre 1520 y 1560, sustituyendo una mansión previa del siglo XV. Los primeros propietarios de este palacio de los que se tiene noticia son los Cabanillas Berrozpe, herederos de los Gómez Peralta. Tras ellos, les sucedieron los Castillo Cabanillas y Gómez de Peralta en el siglo XVII, los Ximénez de Cascante y Ximénez de Antillón en el siglo XVIII, y finalmente el Barón de la Torre en el siglo XIX.

En esta casa pasaba los veranos el mencionado ingeniero de minas, Joaquín Ezquerra del Bayo, miembro fundador de la Real Academia de las Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales en 1847, por cuyos méritos la reina Isabel II le concedió en 1848 la encomienda de Carlos III y la llave de Gentilhombre de Cámara con ejercicio, y miembro de la Sociedad de Amigos del País de Tudela.

En 1976 María Carmen Forcada González, decoradora de Tudela, tuvo la oportunidad de adquirir este palacio y realizó varias intervenciones de consolidación y restauración. En 1997 se realizaron tareas de restauración, siendo limpiada y consolidada su magnífica fachada. La propietaria emprendió «una larga y laboriosa recomposición, consolidando las cubiertas y restaurando la fachada principal en una modélica recuperación tanto en los valores formales, como en las técnicas constructivas».

En 2002 se ofreció a la Universidad Pública de Navarra, para que lo utilizara en la realización de actividades culturales en él. Transcurridos cuatro años de inactividad en este aspecto, revocó la donación para cederlo a la Ciudad de Tudelal, asumiendo el consistorio de su ciudad natal el 20 de febrero del 2007, por unanimidad de la corporación municipal, tal donación "para fines culturales y educativos". Fruto de ese acuerdo alcanzado entre la donante, María Forcada, y el ayuntamiento, se dio el siguiente paso al constituirse la Fundación María Forcada, que sería la encargada de gestionar el centro y de hacer cumplir los objetivos marcados.

El ayuntamiento de Tudela invirtió tres millones de euros en la adecuación y restauración interior, entre febrero de 2009 y abril de 2010, obras que fueron acometidas bajo la dirección de la arquitecta Belén Esparza Estaún, para servir de sede a la Fundación María Forcada, inaugurada al público en diciembre de 2010.

Desde esa fecha la Casa del Almirante se destina a la celebración de actividades culturales y formativas para la ciudad de Tudela, desarrollándose exposiciones de artes plásticas, arte contemporáneo, cursos, seminarios, conferencias, etc. La restauración ha implicado la puesta en valor del edificio y su plena utilización por la ciudad, siendo gestionada por la propia fundación.

Saints are keeping one eye on the treatment room as they prepare for Saturday's top four clash against Warrington Wolves at the Halliwell-Jones Stadium.
Several players, including skipper James Roby, Theo Fages, Ryan Morgan, Zeb Taia and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, all missed Friday's victory over Hull FC at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Holbrook is also keeping a close watch on the fitness of second rower Dominique Peyroux who has been absent since breaking an arm against this weekend's opposition in July but could come back into the reckoning.
It also seems likely that Fages, who pulled out of the Hull game suffering from sickness, will return and so, too, will Morgan after fully recovering from a bout of concussion.
Jack Welsby made a piece of sporting history during a cameo appearance for Saints in Friday's win over Hull FC.
At 17 years six months he became the first St Helens player to pull on the famous red vee first team shirt having been born in the 21st century.
Coach Justin Holbrook introduced the youngster 11 minutes from the end of the game, helping him fulfil a dream after being bitten by the Rugby League bug as a four year old with Shevington Sharks.
He later moved to Blackbrook - a breeding ground for many of Saints' future stars - and progressed from there.
"When I signed a three-year academy contract I didn't look any further than Saints," he told the club matchday programme earlier in the season.
Half back Jack, who lives with his parents in Appley Bridge, is following in the footsteps of such legendary figures as Alex Murphy who was also in the same age bracket when making his debut for his home town club.
But the youngest player ever to feature in the Saints' team during the Super League era is Scott Moore.
The scrum half was 16 years six months old when he faced Wigan on August 20, 2004, in front of 16,425 fans.

Celal ile Ceren is a 2013 Turkish romantic comedy film directed by Togan Gökbakar and starring Şahan Gökbakar and Ezgi Mola. The film was released nationwide on 18 January 2013.

Celal ile Ceren has been accused of sexism by Turkish film critics and recognized to be one of the worst films ever made. It is considered to be a mockbuster of the high-grossing Turkish comedy Recep İvedik.

Movie creator, director, and lead Şahan Gökbakar said that the production of the movie would have been impossible without the help of his friend Deniz Ünal. Even though the two live thousands of miles away from each other, Gökbakar said that their Skype calls together helped him keep his cool, as producing the movie was, in his own words: "Very long and hard." The two remain best friends.

Un cairn (carn en irlandès, carnedd en gal·lès, càrn en gaèlic escocès, karn en bretó) és un túmul, habitualment amb forma cònica. Es troba normalment en terres altes, en erms, en cims de muntanyes o prop de cursos d'aigua.

Varien de petites piles de pedres soltes fins a elaborades obres d'enginyeria.

En català, especialment quan la grandària no és molt gran, aquests monticles de pedres, piles de pedres o fites de pedres s'anomenen cossol o piló.

En els prats de muntanya d'Andorra, el cossol és una petita piràmide de pedres destinada a marcar un límit. Sempre està situada en un lloc visible, una cresta, un coll, una pastura d'estiu o un pla en un cim. El cossol no té la mateixa valor que la creu de terme, que és la marca indeleble del límit. Es pot completar el marcatge de la trenca entre les creus, com els segells, o bé delimita espais pastorals a l'interior d'una parròquia, per exemple, entre una pastura comuna i un quartó, entre un territori d'ús compartit (empriu) i un territori d'ús exclusiu. A la Catalunya del Nord, del Rosselló a la Cerdanya, el terme més utilitzat és el piló per a designar aquestes marques de límits construïdes amb pedres seques o, de vegades, amb calç i sorra. El cossol de vegades és modest, de 50 cm a un metre d'altura, uns altres són més alts i amples.

Propòsit

En temps moderns els cairns s'han erigit com a punts de referència. A l'antiguitat van ser erigits com a monuments sepulcrals, o utilitzats per a usos pràctics i astronòmics.

Es construeixen o es van construir amb diferents propòsits:
 Com a marca d'un lloc d'enterrament, i així poder commemorar als morts;
 Com a marca del cim d'una muntanya;
 Situats a intervals regulars, indiquen un camí a través de terrenys pedregosos o estèrils o a través de les glaceres;
 Els inuit erigeixen cairns amb forma humana, o inunnguaq com a fites o marcadors de direcció a l'Àrtic canadenc;
 A Amèrica del Nord, poden marcar passos de búfals o "carrils per conduir-los"; * A Amèrica del Nord, els cairns podien ser utilitzats per a l'astronomia;
 Entre els nòrdics de Groenlàndia, els cairns van ser utilitzats per a la caça de rens aplicació directa cap als penya-segats;
 A les Províncies marítimes del Canadà els cairns es van utilitzar com a suports per pires a manera de fars per guiar els vaixells, com en la novel·la Lligant caps;
 A Amèrica del Nord, els cairns són sovint petroformes amb forma de tortugues i altres animals;
 Al Regne Unit, solen ser grans estructures de l'Edat del Bronze que contenen amb freqüència enterraments en cista;
 Als parcs que mostren fantàstiques formacions rocoses, com el Gran Canó, els turistes sovint construeixen cairns simples en reverència als de major grandària;
 Amb un propòsit estètic, sense més, per exemple en l'art d'Andy Goldsworthy;
 Poden ser utilitzats per commemorar esdeveniments, des d'un lloc d'una batalla, al lloc on un cotxe va bolcar o qualsevol altra cosa o acte;
 Alguns són simplement llocs on els agricultors han recollit pedres retirades d'un camp de cultiu;
 Al llarg de les senderes els excursionistes mantenen cairns, sovint, afegint-hi una pedra en passar;
 En alguns llocs, se celebren jocs periòdicament per a esbrinar qui pot construir el cairn més bonic.

Història

Illes britàniques

La paraula cairn deriva del gaèlic escocès (i de l'irlandès) càrn, que té un significat molt més ampli, i pot referir-se a diversos tipus de pujols i muntanyes de pedra natural. El terme sol utilitzar-se amb més sovint a Escòcia, però també s'utilitza en altres llocs.

Es poden trobar cairns a tot el món en regions muntanyenques o d'alta muntanya, i també en deserts estèrils i àrees de tundra, així com a les costes.

A Escòcia, és tradicional portar una pedra des del peu del pujol per col·locar-la en un munt de pedres, cairn, al cim. D'aquesta forma, els cairns es fan cada vegada més grans. Una vella benedicció gaèlica escocesa diu Cuiridh la meva clach air do chàrn, és a dir, 'vaig a posar una pedra en la teva cairn'. A les Illes Fèroe (que es veuen afectades per freqüents boires i fortes pluges, i té alguns dels més alts penya-segats al món) els cairns són una ajuda a la navegació sobre el terreny agrest i muntanyenc.

A l'Àfrica del Nord, de vegades són anomenats kerkour. Els cairns també són comuns a l'illa mediterrània de Còrsega.

Avui dia, els cairns s'utilitzen sovint per marcar rutes de senderisme o rutes transnacionals a les regions muntanyenques per sobre de la línia arborada. La majoria són petits, trenta centímetres o menys d'alt, però uns pocs es construeixen més alts amb la finalitat de sobresortir per sobre de la capa de neu. Un gran cairn es va construir sobre un pujol al costat de la carretera I-476 a Radnor, Pennsilvània, per simbolitzar els orígens gal·lesos dels habitants de la zona i embellir el paisatge des d'aquesta carretera.

És tradicional que cada persona que passa per un cairn agregui una pedra, com un petit acte de contribució per al manteniment per contrarestar els efectes destructius del clima hivernal sever. Sovint, el costum és afegir només en la part superior, i utilitzar una pedra més petita que la pedra anterior, resultant una pila precària de petites pedres.

Àsia
A partir de l'edat del bronze, cistes van ser enterrades a vegades en cairns, que se situaven de forma fàcilment visible, sovint en la línia de l'horitzó per sobre del poble dels difunts. Les pedres poden haver estat pensat per dissuadir als lladres de tombes i carronyers. Una explicació més sinistra és que es posessin a fi d'evitar que els morts s'aixequessin. cal assenyalar que existeix una tradició jueva de col·locar petites pedres sobre la tomba d'una persona cada vegada que es visita, com un senyal de respecte (les flors no se solen posar-se en les tombes en la tradició jueva ortodoxa). Les estupes a l'Índia i Tibet probablement van començar d'una manera similar, encara que ara en general contenen les cendres d'una sant budista o lama.

Escandinàvia

A Escandinàvia, els cairns segueixen sent utilitzats com a marques de navegació en el mar. Estan indicades en les cartes de navegació i es manté com a part del sistema de senyalització. Per augmentar la visibilitat en general són pintats en blanc.

A Islàndia els cairns s'utilitzaven sovint com a senyals al llarg de la miríada de camins o sendes que s'entrecreuaven a l'illa. Molts d'aquests antics cairns segueixen en peus, encara que els camins hagin desaparegut.

Banya d'Àfrica
Qa'ableh és el lloc de ruïnes antigues a la regió Sanaag del nord de Somàlia, que contenen molts elements arqueològics que encara no s'han explorat a fons.

L'àrea es creu que alberga les tombes dels antics reis dels períodes inicials de la història somali, com ho demostra les moltes estructures sepulcrals d'estrany aspecte i cairns que es troben en aquest jaciment.

Qa'ableh està situat prop de les ruïnes històriques de Haylaan, que és un altre lloc històric inexplorat a Sanaag. El lloc és l'assentament de la tomba de Harti, el pare fundador de la confederació Harti dels sub-clans Darod somalis.

Altres noms i tradicions

En algunes regions, les piles de roques utilitzades per marcar rutes de senderisme són anomenades "ànecs" o "aneguets" (ducks o duckies en anglès). Aquestes són típicament petits cairns, anomenats així perquè tenen un "bec" que assenyala en a direcció de la ruta. L'expressió "dues roques no fan un ànec" recorda als excursionistes que una roca que descansa sobre una altra, sense més roques, pot ser el resultat d'un accident o de la naturalesa en comptes d'una marca intencional del camí.

Els cairns s'utilitzen en tota Amèrica Llatina per marcar senderes, així com llocs de culte, i es coneixen com a "apachetas", originalment, altars erigits en honor de la Pacha mama.

El nom finès per un cairn utilitzat com a senyal marítim kummeli, que es deriva de la paraula sueca kummel. En anglès, les estructures en i per sota de l'aigua no es diuen "cairns". No obstant això reben el nom, per exemple, en les cartes de navegació finlandeses.

Una estructura tradicional del tipus pila de pedres similar a un cairn és anomenat ovoo a Mongòlia. Serveix principalment a finalitats religioses, i es construeix tant en cerimònies Tengrianistes com a Budistes.

A les zones de l'antiga Dalmàcia, com Hercegovina i Krajina, se'ls coneix per la paraula sèrbia gromila.

A Hawaii són anomenats per la paraula hawaiana ahu; exemples d'aquests es pot veure en els camps de lava del Parc Nacional dels volcans per marcar diverses excursions.

Cairns com a gent

La pràctica és comuna a Anglaterra, els cairns s'anomenen de vegades per les seves qualitats antropomòrfiques. En alemany i neerlandès, un cairn es coneix com a steinmann i stenenman respectivament, la qual cosa significa literalment "home de pedra". Una forma del inukshuk inuit també té el propòsit de representar a una figura humana, i es diu inunguak ("imitació d'una persona"). A Itàlia, especialment als Alps italians, un cairn és una ometto, o "homenet".

A Portugal, els cairn reben el nom de moledro i cada pedra del moledro és un soldat. La llegenda diu que si una pedra es pren de la pila, el proper matí tornarà per si sola a la pila. Si es pren una pedra de la pila en secret i es posa sota el coixí, l'endemà al matí un soldat apareixerà per un breu instant, i després es convertirà de nou en la pedra i tornarà a la pila. Les pedres de la moledro són considerats per tant com a soldats encantats.

Cairns a la llegenda
A la mitologia de l'antiga Grècia, els cairns es van associar amb Hermes, el déu dels viatges per terra. Segons una llegenda, Hermes va ser portat a judici per Hera per l'assassinat del seu criat favorit, el monstre Argos Panoptes. Tots els altres déus van actuar com a jurat, i com a forma de declarar el seu veredicte se'ls van donar còdols, i els van indicar que els tiressin a la persona que consideraven es trobava en la veritat, Hermes o Hera. Hermes va argumentar amb tanta habilitat que va acabar sepultat sota un munt de còdols, i aquest va ser el primer cairn.

Q: Ubuntu Studio default PulseAudio output device I just installed Ubuntu Studio Controls over Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. I use 2 sound devices:

*

*Input: Soundboard through USB (is setup as JACKs master)

*Output: Internal PCI soundcard

I see that the new Ubuntu Studio Controls has an option to create a Pulseaudio bridge, but it can only be set to auto connect to "system:playback_" which in my case is the USB soundboard.
I was wondering if that default could be changed, perhaps in a config file somewhere to allow this automatic connection on login.
Here you can see the Auto Connect Option and my intended setup in Carla:

Basically, I would need to reconfigure the "Auto Connect" option to SB,0,0-out which is the soundcard I use as an output
EDIT: I just checked back my Ubuntu Studio 19.10 to see why it was working there and I just saw that there is an option "Default PulseAudio output device" that allows you to select the device to connect to automatically. Is that option removed for good? Is there any way to switch back to the old version?
Thanks in advance!

A: For a number of reasons, this had to be temporarily removed for the Focal Fossa release cycle. We plan on bringing the feature back in a future version (which has been upstreamed). If you wish to have the latest version when it's ready, add the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA.

Florida School District Accused Of Instructing Staff To Hide Student 'Gender Transitions' From Parents
"Gender Support and Transition Planning Guide" also outlines that staff must not use gendered terms like 'girls and boys', and must use preferred pronouns
Broward County (Florida) Public Schools' district has been accused by a parents advocacy group of instructing staff to promote transgenderism to children, and then to hide from parents any requests students have to 'transition'.
The Parents Defending Education group points to a document that the school distributed to teachers called the "Broward County Public Schools LGBTQ Critical Support Guide".
The manual states that for children in grades 6 through 12 grades before notifying "any parent or guardian regarding the transition process, school staff should work closely with the student to assess the degree to which, if any, the parent(s) or guardian will be involved in the process and must carefully consider the health, well-being and safety of the transitioning student."
The document also states that teachers and officials should use a "Gender Support and Transition Planning Guide" to determine "when and how this [transition] is communicated to students and their parent(s)/guardian."
It also outlines that staff must not use gendered terms like 'girls and boys', and must use preferred pronouns and "affirmed first name[s]," which will be entered into the District's Student Information System.
The document also says that students identifying as the opposite gender will "have access to the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity asserted at school," and that on field trips "[i]f students are to be separated based on gender, the transgender student should be allowed to room with peers that match their gender identity."
The guide also claims that "The expression of transgender identity, or any other form of gender-expansive behavior, is a healthy, appropriate and typical aspect of human development."
In a statement, Parents Defending Education asserted that "Broward County school officials must not be aware that gender dysphoria is listed in the DSM-5 since they have declared in an official and public document that the expression of transgender identity is healthy, appropriate and typical. Add to that their recommendation that children transition over the summer and their promise to deceive parents, and their position is indefensible and flies in the face of the promise to do no harm."
The development comes in the wake of the Biden Administration's Education Secretary refusing to answer a question during a Senate hearing on whether school districts should keep a child's involvement in gender transition a secret from parents:
When pushed, @SecCardona reveals that he does in fact support withholding information from parents about their child's gender transition.
He also implies that parents who don't "affirm" that gender identity aren't safe and it's the schools job to affirm it and hide it. https://t.co/gid5EXvFt4

Cardona also suggested that biological boys should be allowed to compete against girls in sports, and even accused his questioner, GOP Congressman Jim Banks, of wanting to exclude children by discussing their biological gender.

'Rainbow community' cries "discrimination" after gay porno books removed from kids' library
Parents of children in Sheboygan, Wisconsin demanded that the school district remove several books from the libraries there after they discovered the material contain graphic gay pornographic images.
The concerned parents flooded a school board meeting Tuesday with complaints after images from the 'gender identity' books were widely shared on social media:
The school's principal, Kevin Formolo, quickly announced after the meeting that three books from the library have been removed, they are a so called 'LGBT memoir' titled "Gender Queer" and the graphic novels "Fun Home" and "Are You My Mother?"
Several people opposed the decision to remove the books, arguing that the move sends a harmful message to gay, transgender, and nonbinary students.
"Giving into these challenges and pulling these books from our schools' libraries is nothing short of discrimination," resident Kelly Holstine said.
As we have previously highlighted, the sexualisation of children in schools is a nationwide issue.
Many parents have spoken out against books and subject matter, including transgenderism, pedophilia, gay pornography, and critical race theory, that children as young as Kindergarten age are being subjected to.

Scottish Government Refuses to Remove Convicted 'Trans' Rapist From Women's Prison

Despite a massive backlash, the Scottish government is refusing to remove a transgender rapist from a female prison despite his conviction for raping two women when he was a biological male.
31-year-old Adam Graham was found guilty of raping the two women during frenzied sex attacks that took place in 2016 and 2019.
Only when on trial for the attacks did Graham announce that he was "transitioning" into a woman, a process which seemingly culminated in him wearing a bad wig and cheap make-up.
The rapist was clearly trying to exploit Scotland's ludicrously woke legal system in which biological males who identify as women can be sent to female prisons.
Despite a huge backlash, the Scottish government has indicated it won't reverse its decision to send Graham (who now calls himself Isla Bryson) to HMP Cornton Vale, a women's prison in Stirling.
Keith Brown, Scotland's justice secretary, has "expressed faith in the Scottish Prison Service's (SPS) decision to place a transgender woman convicted of raping two women, before she had transitioned, in a women's prison," reports ITN News.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon denied her government had any authority to change the "risk assessment" that led to Graham being allowed to be sent to a female prison.
The situation has deepened the controversy surrounding Scotland's absurd Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which would allow anyone over the age of 16 to legally identify as the opposite sex without needing medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and having lived for just 6 months as transgender.
"Nicola Sturgeon's government has refused to order that a male-bodied rapist be removed from a female jail, after insisting the 'rights' of the sex offender had been properly considered."
Scotland is being led by people who are seriously sick in the mind.https://t.co/uKdmA1iz2m
— Paul Embery (@PaulEmbery) January 25, 2023
Scottish lawmakers even voted down an amendment that would have removed protections for convicted sex offenders to identify as transgender after being found guilty.
The bill itself and the effort to protect the rights of sex offenders were both vehemently supported by LGBT activists.
In a related development, Graham's estranged wife revealed that he tried to rape her too and only began identifying as a woman to try to get an easier time in jail.
Imagine my shock.
The estranged wife of convicted rapist Isla Bryson / Adam Graham has said that he also tried to rape her.
"Sending him to a women's prison is outrageous – will one of the vulnerable women inmates be the next victim? He won't stop, it's in his nature."https://t.co/meKKwwDBvL pic.twitter.com/ZTA0P1RoL5
— Women's Voices (@WomenReadWomen) January 25, 2023
"Never once did he say anything to me about feeling he was in the wrong body or anything. I have a lot of sympathy for real transgender people, it's a hard thing to live with, but he's just bullshitting the authorities," said Shonna Graham.
"His gender transition is a sham for attention and an easier life in prison. When I saw the photos of him dressed as a woman with a blonde wig and pink lycra leggings, I fell out of bed laughing," she added.
Shonna said that Graham didn't want to be in prison with "loads of big scary men," warning that "sending him to a women's prison is outrageous – will one of the vulnerable women inmates be the next victim to be attacked by him? He won't stop, it's in his nature."
You'll Barely Believe This
Peek into the abyss if you dare.
A transgender who only started identifying as a woman after raping two women is being sent to an all female prison.

Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority breaks ground on Fairway Drive grade separation project

Elected officials gathered earlier today for the groundbreaking of the Fairway Drive Grade Separation Project. The project includes the construction of a four-lane underpass for Fairway Drive and a new four-track railroad bridge to carry freight and Metrolink trains over the road.
The project will eliminate vehicle delays — including for emergency responders — and the potential for crossing collisions at this well-traveled intersection. It will also keep traffic moving and help reduce emissions, as well as lower the need for trains to use their horns and the current noise from the crossing gates and bells.
Metro provided approximately $65.6 million — or 45 percent of the project's cost — from the Prop C and Measure R half-cent sales tax increases approved by Los Angeles County voters in 1990 and 2008, respectively.
Here's the full press release from the Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority:
Federal, state and local officials gathered today to kick off construction of a four-lane roadway underpass and four-track railroad bridge to replace a congested railroad crossing on Fairway Drive, immediately north of the State Route 60 Freeway in the City of Industry and unincorporated community of Rowland Heights. The $141.8 million project will create more than 2,500 jobs over three-and-one-half years of construction with completion scheduled for Summer 2018.
The railroad crossing is used daily by nearly 25,000 vehicles, including significant truck traffic, and blocked by an average of 49 trains a day, projected to increase to 91 trains by 2025. The project will eliminate 62.5 vehicle-hours of crossing delay each day, including for emergency responders, and the potential for crossing collisions, with four collisions recorded over the last 10 years. The project will also reduce emissions and eliminate locomotive horn and crossing bell noise.
"Today's groundbreaking marks the start of a project that will eliminate deadly crossing collisions, train delays for emergency responders and locomotive horn noise that will improve the quality of life for residents and commuters," said Montebello Mayor Jack Hadjinian, Chair of the Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority (ACE). "We thank our funding partners for providing the support needed to get this project into construction."
"Vehicles idling at the railroad crossing waiting for the train to pass and crossing collisions will be a thing of the past," said ACE Board member and City of Industry Mayor Tim Spohn. "The City of Industry appreciates the opportunity to work in partnership with the ACE Construction Authority on this and other important safety and congestion relief projects that will benefit our community for many years to come."
"The San Gabriel Valley is the goods movement gateway to the nation," said Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "The ACE program of grade separations is a project of national and regional significance, and continues to serve as a model to address the adverse impacts of freight rail traffic on our local communities."
"Investing in our community's infrastructure is crucial to improving the movement of goods through local ports and ensuring America continues to have a robust and globally competitive economy," said Congressman Ed Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "The Fairway Drive project will create construction jobs, cut down on emissions from idling vehicles, and most importantly make our roads safer for drivers."
"The ACE program continues to be a success story for the San Gabriel Valley and has the united support of the region's state representatives in Sacramento," said State Senator Ed Hernandez, Chair of the San Gabriel Valley Legislative Caucus.
"Projects like the Fairway Drive grade separation will not only improve our region's infrastructure, but it will also stimulate job growth and produce well paid local construction jobs," Senator Tony Mendoza, Chair of the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee, said in a statement. "In fact, this project alone will create a projected 2,500 construction jobs over the next three years."
"The Fairway Drive project will ease traffic congestion, reduce emissions, improve safety and mitigate the impacts caused by the increase in freight rail traffic traveling through eastern Los Angeles County," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe. "This project is another example of how critical these infrastructure projects are to small business owners and suppliers that depend on the effective and efficient mobility of freight from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to destinations throughout Southern California and beyond."
"State transportation bond funds approved by the voters account for half of the Fairway Drive project cost," said California Transportation Commissioner Fran Inman. "I am proud to see that our public funds are being put to good use – not only in modernizing California and America's freight rail network but also helping to save lives, create jobs and provide long-term benefits to the goods movement system in Southern California."
"Los Angeles County Metro is contributing nearly half of the overall cost of the Fairway Drive project and more than a third of the overall ACE program funding through Measure R and other countywide sales tax measures," said Duarte Councilman John Fasana, the San Gabriel Valley's representative to the LA County Metro Board of Directors. "I will continue to support the ACE projects on the Metro Board to complete this important rail-roadway grade separation program."
Fairway Drive is scheduled be closed for underpass and bridge construction in Spring 2016 upon the re-opening to traffic of the adjacent Nogales Street project currently under construction. The Fairway Drive project is part of a program of grade separations along the Alameda Corridor-East Trade Corridor, which accommodates 60 percent of the containers moved from the nation's busiest container ports in the San Pedro Bay to the rest of the country via the region's transcontinental rail network.

Vol 23.27 - Masei 1 Spanish French Audio Video

(5741) "journeys" - and not "encampments"
The Torah portion Masei begins by stating:10 "These are the journeys of the Children of Israel who left Egypt…." The Torah then goes on to recount all the places where the Jews resided during their 40-year trek from Egypt to the Promised Land.
Our Sages11 ask: By recounting the places where the Jewish people camped rather than the journeys themselves, the Torah is indicating that the resting places are more important than the journeys. This being so, the verse should have stated: "These are the encampments …," rather than "These are the journeys …" Especially so, since the Jews spent the majority of these 40 years in their encampments, and not in travel.
The ultimate purpose of both the Jews' travels and encampments was, of course, to enter Eretz Yisrael. The encampments were therefore also termed "journeys," for they served no purpose in and of themselves.
In commenting on the verse, "These are the journeys of the Children of Israel who left Egypt…." the Baal Shem Tov notes12 that the 42 journeys of the Jewish people from Egypt to Eretz Yisrael are mirrored in the 42 spiritual journeys undertaken by each and every Jew from the time of his birth — his personal departure from "Egypt" — to his arrival at the edge of the "Land of Life."
Understandably, the "rest stops" and "encampments" along the way refer to the various stages of spiritual growth to be experienced during life's journey.
But the previous question reoccurs: Surely, since the emphasis is on man's accomplishments — his "encampments" — the verse should have stated "These are the encampments ," rather than "These are the journeys "?
In order for man to accomplish all that he is capable of, he must be constantly "on the move." We thus find the following difference between "stopping" and "moving" in terms of man's service:13
Even when a person rises from level to level, if the new level is comparable to the previous one, the individual has not truly departed from the lower level, and is considered to be "stationary."
"On the move" means there is no comparison between a person's former state and his present one — the individual has totally departed from his previous level.
The verse therefore emphasizes "the journeys ," indicating that a Jew should never be satisfied with moving from one level to a comparable one. Rather, he must constantly "journey" in a manner whereby his next stage is infinitely higher than his current one.
This latter manner of "travel" contains two elements: departing from the previous level and attaining the infinitely higher one. As long as there has not been a complete departure from the former level, the higher level cannot be attained.
This, then, is the meaning of "These are the journeys of the Children of Israel who left Egypt …." Why was it necessary for there to be many "journeys" in order to leave Egypt; it would seem that with the first journey the Jewish people already departed Egypt?14
Egypt is symbolic of spiritual limitations. Thus, the "encampments" — the spiritual achievements en route — did not constitute complete redemption from "Egypt." In order to arrive at the Promised Land, there had to be a total departure from previous "encampments," for each stopping — no matter how lofty the waystation — itself represented a lingering within the state of "Egypt."

Laurent Pothenot, né vers 1650 à Chaumont et mort à Paris le , est un mathématicien français, membre de l'Académie royale des sciences et professeur au Collège royal.

Biographie
Il travailla avec Jean-Dominique Cassini et Philippe de La Hire pour établir la méridienne de France. Il fut reçu en 1682 comme académicien géomètre à l'Académie royale des sciences. Il travailla ensuite avec La Hire aux nivellements de l'Eure, que le ministre Louvois voulait amener à Versailles, ce qui ne put jamais être effectué. Il entra en 1684 comme professeur de mathématiques au Collège royal, mais fut exclu de l'Académie des sciences pour cause d'absences trop fréquentes. Il mourut à l'âge de 82 ans et fut inhumé à l'église Saint-Étienne-du-Mont.

Laurent Pothenot est connu surtout pour avoir résolu ce que l'on a appelé « le plus célèbre des problèmes d'arpentage », formulé ainsi par l'Académie des sciences : « Monsieur Pothenot a donné la solution du problème de géométrie pratique : trouver la position d'un lieu qu'on ne peut voir des principaux points d'où l'on observe. » Dans le mémoire qu'il rédigea pour l'Académie en 1692, Pothenot expliquait qu'« il y a quantité de lieux qui n'ont point de marques sensibles que l'on puisse apercevoir de loin ; par exemple, les principaux contours des rivières, des vallées et des forêts ; la jonction des ruisseaux et des vallons, leurs têtes, la situation des ponts, et les rencontres des grands chemins ; et ainsi il est mal aisé de déterminer la position de ces lieux, qu'il est néanmoins nécessaire de marquer sur une carte. M. Pothenot s'est souvent trouvé dans cette difficulté lorsqu'il a travaillé par l'ordre du roi à la carte des environs du nouveau canal de la rivière d'Eure [...]. »

Ce problème avait cependant été traité 75 ans plus tôt par le mathématicien néerlandais Willebrord Snellius, qui en publia la solution dans son Eratosthenes Batavus en 1617. Sa solution passa toutefois inaperçue et le problème fut connu pendant longtemps sous le nom « problème de Pothenot » avant d'être rebaptisé « problème de Snellius-Pothenot ».

How I Raised a Family of Entrepreneurs
Tim Berry
Entrepreneur, Business Planner and Angel Investor
Ahead of Father's Day this year, I'm using this column to answer two questions people often ask me about having grown-up children with an entrepreneurial bent.
The first question: What did I do to create my situation? And the second: What would I recommend for others?
People ask me those questions because one of my daughters runs the software business I founded in Oregon, another has a social media startup, and their brother and another sister are immersed in their own startups in New York.
I didn't set out to create a family business or a startups family. I was in my 30s, married, with four young children. I had started a business-planning software business, but it never occurred to me that family members might someday join. I was just trying to make a living doing what interested me and finding people who would value my products and services.
But here's what happened. My kids, who once complained about having to assemble disks and labels on the occasional Saturday morning in the 1980s, ended up with college degrees, tech interests and initiative. They became involved in my company, their own startups or both. (If you're curious to learn more, you can check them out on Twitter: @teamreboot, @meganberry, @mommyceo and @eugenesocial.

Regarding that first question about what my wife and I did or didn't do to create such an entrepreneurial family, I have to say it didn't happen on purpose or according to any plan. But when I look back, I see, in retrospect, two important factors.
1. There was no pushing. My wife and I never assumed, as we raised and educated our children, that we were pointing them in any particular direction. True, we did enlist them at crunch times to help with our software business. But there wasn't even the slightest hint that they were supposed to work in the family business at some point.
2. Education in our family was about learning, not preparation for a business career. All five have undergraduate degrees from prestigious schools and two have graduate degrees, but there isn't a business major or a master's in business administration among them. They chose their own colleges and studied what they wanted. They found technology and entrepreneurship later, when the time was right.
Regarding what I would recommend for others, I see both advantages and disadvantages in mixing business with family. In my case, the advantages won out, but that isn't always the case.

People often resist the idea of doing business with spouses, parents or children because relationships supposedly suffer. There can indeed be a tendency to mix business discussion with family interactions, and I've seen some of that in dealings with my wife and kids. There's also a tendency sometimes to fall into old patterns and habits, parent to child and child to parent. We try to avoid it, but it happens.
There are ways to mitigate most of these dangers, such as adopting a family business code of conduct or hiring a counselor. While we didn't always follow best practices, we usually tried.
Then there's nepotism, that ugly word that assumes family members in a family-run business are less competent than everybody else. But it's important to remember that there can be a very different side to the nepotism coin. I've been blessed with smart, interested, competent, hard-working and trustworthy family members who applied their talents and contributed mightily to the business.
This whole issue isn't simple, but for me, it's been great to do business with family members. I'm glad I did.

The Vampire Diaries – Break On Through
By: | TV Reviews | March 23, 2012
So that was that! Finally, the midseason character development episodes (or whatever you call them) are done and we can get back to the bigger-picture episodes that involve teams, stakes and edge-of-your-seat developments. But it had to get worse before it got better, so this week's The Vampire Diaries was very much a transition episode. The first half was stuck in a rut, but then the back half left us begging for more.
Not to say that a lot of important storylines came to their head this week. These quieter, character-driven episodes are centered on the folks in Mystic Falls getting some of their lives back. Of course Elena is always looking for trouble, but everyone else has tried their very best to deal with the cards they've been dealt. One of the most intriguing stories involves Stefan's thirst for blood. Between all the flirting and tortured breakups, it's easy to forget that this show is about vampires—blood-addicted, immortal monsters that prefer to tear up your throat. Stefan is dealing with his good side as he spends his afternoons sucking on blood bags, because this town's blood bank has an endless supply. It's actually a big deal, considering he wants to be with Elena and live a normal life. At least, that's what we think he wants. His motives are rather unclear these days. Does he even want to be with Elena? Does he just want to be good? Or, is he just trying not to suck blood for sport? Who knows. An exciting moment occurred when Stefan was near a bloodbath and it was actually up for questioning whether he could control himself or not.
Yet, that was actually one of the least pressing issues of that moment, because the bloodbath was caused by Alaric who is apparently crazy full-time now. This storyline is actually very promising since Alaric's goody actions have always been a boring addition to the general team effort. Now, Alaric is actually a baddie and things are not looking good. The scene in which he grabbed a knife and threatened Meredith was epic Williamson. If you grew up loving I Know What You Did Last Summer or Scream, or any other horror movie that saw girls running away from killers with weapons, this scene was made for you. It also delivered some of the finest action of the episode seeing as we actually had no clue how crazy Alaric was and every guest star is expendable. Unfortunately, Elena came to the rescue, making it all about herself and her need to save people.
On the brighter side, this episode also featured a lot of steamy scenes, as Damon and Sage tried to get information out of Rebecca. The only way to do this was for Damon to sleep with her and have Sage kiss Damon in the shower—you know...basic communication. Anyway, information was transferred from Rebecca to Sage to Damon, which meant that everyone knew about the second oak tree. Damon went on about lumber and business, and it turned out the tree was turned into a bridge, the very same bridge on which Elena's parents died and Stefan tried to kill her. There has to be irony in there somewhere. One of the finer things of "Break On Through" was that Rebecca was in on the entire plan. She burned the bridge down and seemingly ended the game. Interestingly, Sage had betrayed Damon because she actually didn't want to kill the Originals. Sage's surprising love for Finn was the catalyst behind the episode, and it resulted in some awesome snaps by Damon who was not pleased by Sage's affection for Finn. Love is a big motive on this show and it works well with vampires. They love people for hundreds of years which makes their dramatic and often dangerous actions a lot more believable than, say, Elena's high school crush.
The episode also featured Abby's transition to vampirism but it was such a pointless filler tactic that it's better left forgotten. Bonnie also forgave Elena for something she did many episodes ago. It proves that these storylines seemingly had no other purpose than for Caroline to be amazing and give poignant speeches to characters that don't deserve her attention. Now that these stories have been tied up, we can't wait to see our favorite blonde get back into action with, well, anyone. There was also a phone call with Jeremy, who was actually living a normal life. One of the most promising things is that he's finally happy, but he's still in danger, which will ultimately bring him back to Mystic Falls.
Damon ended the episode with finding the last remaining piece of wood that could kill an Original and Stefan seems to be on board to open hunting season. Kill one, kill them all. This show just stepped up its game in a big and promising way.

Patriots make several roster moves ahead of showdown with Bills
Ricky Jean Francois played three games as a reserve for the Patriots (Image Credit: MassLive/YouTube)
The Patriots released defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois and offensive lineman Jason King.
December 3, 2017 at 4:52 AM December 3, 2017 at 4:52 AM
The New England Patriots have made several transactions ahead of their Sunday's clash with the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots have released defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois and offensive lineman Jason King from the 53-man roster and signed defensive lineman Geneo Grissom and wide receiver Bernard Reedy from the practice squad. The Patriots need an additional target for quarterback Tom Brady with wide receiver Chris Hogan still out with a shoulder injury. Aside from Hogan, tackle Marcus Cannon will not play against the Bills due to an ankle injury.
In another move, the Patriots signed defensive Marcus Hardison to the practice squad.
In Grissom, the Patriots will be getting a younger defensive lineman in place of the 31-year-old Jean Francois. The Patriots released the 25-year-old Grissom from the 53-man roster on November 9 and signed him to the practice two days later. The 6-foot-4 Grissom was a third-round pick of the Patriots in the 2015 NFL Draft. Grissom began the 2017 season on the practice squad before he was signed to the 53-man lineup on September 22. As a reserve, Grissom has played 29 games for the Patriots in the last three seasons, tallying registered six tackles on defense and six special teams tackles.
Jean Francois played three games for Patriots
After he was released by the Green Bay Packers on November 1, the Patriots signed Jean Francois to the 53-man roster on November 7. The 6-foot-3 Jean Francois played three games as a reserve for the Patriots, recording three tackles. Before joining the Patriots, he played six games for the Packers.
A seventh-round pick by San Francisco in the 2009 NFL Draft, Jean Francois suited up for the 49ers from 2009 to 2012 before playing for the Indianapolis Colts from 2013 to 2014 and the Washington Redskins from 2015 to 2016) and the Packers in 2017.
Patriots need another wideout
The Patriots took in the 26-year-old Reedy to the practice squad on November 22 after he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 17.
In nine games for the Buccaneers, Reedy caught two passes for 21 yards and ran three times for 17 yards. Reedy started his NFL career as a rookie free agent with the Atlanta Falcons in 2014. The Patriots originally signed the 24-year-old King as a rookie free agent on May 5, but he was released before the start of the season. King was signed to the practice squad on September 20 but was released on October 9. After several weeks with the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, King was signed by the Patriots to the 53-man roster on November 28. The Patriots brought in the 25-year-old Hardison to the practice squad after the Jacksonville Jaguars released him on November 20.

This is a living document, and will continue to be updated and revised with more stories, images, and links for additional historic content.
See the Virtual Tour page for more about the current campaign.
The Gill Tract Farm is the last remaining 20 acres of an historic farm the UC has owned for almost a century. Capital Projects, the Real Estate division of the University has had plan to privatize this entire piece of public land since the late 1990s, and they are imminently planning to pave over about 6 acres within the coming year. This is effectively a corporate land grab from the people.
The land under the Gill Tract has a long history, and the people who have lived, farmed, taught, and dreamed here have endured repeated dispossession, silencing, and repression. Before describing the current campaign by students and community members for the last remaining 20 acres of this historic land, we would like to highlight a couple periods of this long history to situate the struggles enduring today.
We recognize that the land we are fighting to reclaim today is land that was violently stolen from the original people of this area through colonization.
In a report on the land's history prepared by LSA associates for Capital Projects, UC Berkeley's real estate development, it explains-
"The descendants of the native groups who lived between the Carquinez Strait and the Monterey area prefer to be called Ohlone,' although they are often referred to by the name of their linguistic group, Costanoan. Albany is within the former territory of the Huchuin, who spoke Chochenyo or Chocheno, one of eight Costanoan languages. Huchuin territory extended from Temescal Creek in north Oakland to Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks in the city of Richmond. Intensive Hispanic exploration of the Bay Area began in the late 18th century, radically transforming Ohlone culture as European settlers moved into northern California. These settlers established the mission system and, exposed the Ohlone to diseases to which they had no immunity. Founded in 1776, Mission San Francisco was situated directly across the San Francisco Bay from what is today the city of Albany, and drew Ohlone from throughout the Bay Area. Mission records indicate that the Huchuin were among those native cultures relocated, sometimes forcibly, to Mission San Francisco. Following the secularization of the missions in 1833, native people in the Bay Area moved to ranchos, where they worked as manual laborers.
"On August 3, 1820, Luis Maria Peralta received the Rancho San Antonio land grant for his service to the Spanish government. The 43,000-acre Rancho San Antonio contained the future sites of Albany, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and parts of San Leandro and Piedmont. Peralta's grant was confirmed after Mexico's independence from Spain in 1822, and honored by the Treaty of Hidalgo in 1848 when California became part of the United States. Peralta's son Jose Domingo received the northern portion of the rancho, which included the location of what is today Albany and Berkeley."
We currently have limited information about the people who once lived on this particular land, but we are interested in receiving more of this history, and working with descendants and other indigenous communities to use this land to revive and relearn ancestral traditions and cultures.
The Gill Family acquired the land in 1889, and it was used for various farming projects, a nursery, and an arboretum.
Though the Gill Tract was originally over 100 acres, it was gifted, sold, and leased by different projects over the course of the century, including for military housing during WWII. Much of this housing later became student and family housing.
The star marks the approximate location of the current community farm project.
In the mid 1970s, following Reagan's austerity governorship, there was the first mention of a "Regional Shopping Mall" to be built on the "Northeast sector" of the Gill Tract. However, this was not possible at the time because of the strength of the world-renown Biologic Control Research Station.
Starting in 1945, there was a famous Center for Biologic Control on the site that was researched how insects and ecological systems could be integrated into pest management. At a time when pesticides were taking off, and the culture within the University was "better living through chemistry", this center was an important node in the fight against industrializing agriculture that endures today.
This research was an inspiration to many in the emerging environmental movement, and bolstered the anti-pesticide movements, as highlighted in Rachel Carson's quote, above.
UC Biological Control researchers also viewed themselves as being a part of a political project. As former research Rober Van Der Bosch said in the last interview he gave before he died
PLOWBOY: What was it that triggered your move from scholarly work to eco-activism?
VAN DEN BOSCH: It simply became clear to me that our current ideas about insect control were heading the world toward both ecological and economic disaster, and that political action was the only way we were ever going to get off our global pesticide treadmill.
PLOWBOY: What do you mean by "pesticide treadmill"?
VAN DEN BOSCH: I'm referring to the situation that develops when farmers are forced to use more and more insecticides every year—and pay higher and higher prices for those substances—while the natural processes of species resurgence and immunity backlash actually build up insect populations rather than destroy them. This sort of "unwinnable war" is a result of our rather silly attempts to control the more than sextillion reproductively prolific creatures—among the world's million and a half insect species—with single-minded Buck Rogers methods. The pesticide treadmill is a long, expensive walk which can never make any real progress.
However, this center was actively dismantled by the University between the late 1970s to the 1990s in result of pressures within the University from the pesticide industry and because of the interest in attracting more corporate donations. This explored beautifully and with more depth and nuance in "The Killing Fields", and article by Jennings, written in 1997.
This transition from Biologic Control to research for the benefit of petrochemical interests and industrial agriculture came to an apex in 1997 when the department of Plant and Molecular Biology received a $25 million donation from Novartis. This sparked indignation and active protest on campus, notably from Professor Ignacio Chapela, who had witnessed the impact of GMOs on corn crops across Mexico and knew deeply what it would mean for our research to be bought by a biotech corporation. After speaking out, Professor Chapela was scandalously denied tenured directly by the Chancellor (he eventually received tenure through a vigilant and unyielding mass mobilization).
Students were a powerful and active part of these struggles.
Over 15 years later, petrochemical corporations continue to have a large hold on the University, as exemplified by the BP building on campus, and Professors continue to be silenced. Professor Tyrone Hayes has been targeted by the pesticide industry because of his outspokenness on his findings on the toxicological impacts of Atrazine. Well-known Agroecology researcher, Professor Miguel Altieri, has also been repeatedly intimidated, especially following his support of Occupy the Farm.
The struggle for free speech continues to live on 50 years after the Free Speech Movement on campus, and academic freedom is just one form of speech that is continuously threatened by the privatization of the University.
Meanwhile, at the same time that students were working on campus to address the issue of corporate interests at Berkeley and restore Ignacio Chapela's tenure, community members were organizing in defense of the Gill Tract, which was already under threat of development from the real estate branch of the University.
After Capital Projects made their initial plan back in 1997, a coalition of 30 community groups and many UC Professors (including Ignacio Chapela and Miguel Altieri) put together the BACUA proposal advocating for the use of the space for an Urban Agriculture Research station. Over the decades, different iterations of community and student groups kept up the fight from city council meeting to city council meeting, and while they were very effective at stalling, the project kept moved along through the system.
Capital Projects likes to point out all of the opportunities that the community had to give comments on the proposal- but they do not highlight the fact that at these meetings there was significant community opposition to the project. While Capital Projects has ostensibly made opportunities for the community to voice its opinion, it has not listened to this opinion. In 2012, there was a community referendum with over 1000 signatures from local neighbors and Albany Residents, gathered in just two weeks, who wanted to put the development agreement to a public vote. Capital Projects threw out the development agreement, an inessential part of the development plan, and so the project was never put to the vote that local community members democratically called for.
Throughout the decades, students have also raised their voices against the development. The Gill Tract is an important part of our campus, and yet student needs for research and education have been continuously ignored in this development project.
This 2004 letter from the Student Organic Garden Association highlights the student interest in keeping this land intact for student use. Ten years later, the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), is still in favor of a halt to the development: SBNo.84ABillinSupportofPreventingDevelopmentoftheGillTractFarm.
In 2004, when Urban Roots was struggling for this land, the community members wanted to see the old Gill home used for a historic museum, as shown in this image from a pamphlet showcasing the community visions for the land. However, in 2007, the historic home was demolished, along with the greenhouses, labs, and classrooms from the Biologic Control Research Station.
While this was demoralizing to many in the community, the story of the tract continued to live on, and was passed down year after year through classes at Berkeley, including Agroecology researcher and Professor Miguel Altieri, who collaborated with the Biologic Control research station.
Former students from these classes took these stories and lessons with them as they graduated.
Then in 2012, inspired by the Occupy movement, a community group including former Berkeley students, taught under Miguel Altieri, created "Occupy the Farm". On Earth Day, 2012, OTF led a high profile act of non-violent civil disobedience by breaking the locks at the Gill Tract, planting a large plot of the land, and setting up an encampment to defend the crops.
In a political moment (Occupy Wall Street) conducive to rule breaking, and a historical situation where the land-managing UC lacked legitimacy in the eyes of locals, OTF was well positioned to try something different; civil disobedience wasn't just a tactic pulled out of a hat. OTF critiqued all sorts of issues pertaining to food sovereignty by occupying ostensibly "public" land that was off limits to the public, and combining this action with legal, political, and media campaigns (members also filed EIR lawsuits and ran for Albany council). The protests highlighted the development of farmland; biotechnology; lack of democracy in the UC; misallocation of research and extension resources; and lack of opportunities for participation in local, public, or commons land management. OTF even used the platform of their successful action to highlight the dispossession of indigenous people from the very land they were "occupying".
Read more about this and OTF's alignment with the global movement for Food Sovereignty in this year's Disorientation Guide.
On February 26, 2015, UC Berkeley mandated the destruction of 60 trees, many of them rare and over a century old, the first step of development. Defense of this soil is more important than ever, and SEAL and OTF continue to work in opposition of the development plans.
The Gill Tract Farm has been the site of some very important research with political implications, and this history is also in danger of being lost and rewritten.
That is why we are calling on the University to halt the development, and develop a Food Initiative on all 20 acres of this historic farmland that is currently open greenspace.


As the coordinator for the T release name poll, I hereby request that the TC allow Train to be added to the Release name poll for the T release. Train does not meet the release name criteria as it is not a 'physical or human geography'. The same criteria do provide for the TC to accept additions to the poll but doesn't explain the mechanism by which it can do that. This is the most direct format.
Train celebrates a humorous moment in our community and is a little fun. Based on the discussion it could be a popular option on the poll.
