Journalists will be used to producing different pieces of content for various platforms, but rarely do we see a mix of formats within the same piece.
However, with timelapse, gifs, audio, slow motion, video, photos and 360-degree video on our smartphones – literally at our fingertips – reporters are now able to produce a range of content on-the-go, making multimedia storytelling easier than ever.
"Our audiences are constantly looking for something new and fresh and we want to keep them engaged," said Kara Fox, digital news producer, CNN International, speaking at MojoFest Tours in Ireland this week.
"If they become used to just seeing an image, 300 words of text and a video slapped on top, they know what they're getting – they'll turn off.
"But now we have so many mediums to work with, and therefore so many ways to share our message."
Fox's work at CNN International has seen her marry photographs with 'moving postcards' in the same piece, breaking longform articles up to create the atmosphere she wants.
"It's important to keep the tempo of the piece, transporting your audience into that moment in time, without it being too over-produced," she said.
"It's all about experimenting and seeing what works.
"Start out by taking a step back and setting the scene – put the camera on and see what happens when you inject movement into your piece."
Fox used these techniques in her story surrounding the 1984 killing of Baby John and the investigation by police in County Kerry, Ireland.
Audiences are encouraged to anticipate what is coming up as they come across her 'moving postcards' videos and pictures when reading through the story from start to finish.
"I wanted to create a lot of atmosphere and tension in the piece to reflect the written story so I worked with a combination of still and moving imagery," she said.
Fox explained that different mediums can not only help break up a long article, they can also change the mood of the piece to reflect the twists and turns in a story, taking the reader on a journey.
She advised reporters with a little more time to head out to their story without a camera at first, getting to know the details and people involved without shooting. Then they will have a clearer view of the type of multimedia content that will best represent the tone of the piece.

The Quest of Mr. Goodchord
By Mark Small
Guitar Professor Mick Goodrick
Photo by Mark Small
Musical careers frequently blossom after an important musical experience taking place during childhood. Often the fruit borne of later serious musical commitment hardly resembles the buds that appeared in youth. Such is the case with Professor Mick Goodrick, an internationally hailed jazz guitarist known for his harmonic mastery of the guitar.
"I started miming Elvis by holding a tennis racquet for a guitar and mouthing the words to 'Hound Dog', Goodrick revealed. "I asked my parents for a guitar, but they didn't know how serious I was about playing, so they bought me a ukulele." By the age of 11 years old, Goodrick had sidelined the uke in favor of a real guitar and was trying to master Link Wray's 1958 rock and roll instrumental hit "Rumble." By the time he was 15, Goodrick was tuning in to jazz.
"The summer I turned 15, I went to the Stan Kenton Summer Band Camp," Goodrick recalled. "There were a lot of people from Berklee teaching there. That's where I first met John LaPorta (now a professor emeritus) and Jack Peterson (Berklee's first guitar professor). After that, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in music and check out Berklee." By the fall of 1963, he was enrolled as a music education major at the school.
After graduating in 1967, Goodrick taught for four years at Berklee before shifting gears. "A lot of my friends had moved to New York or gotten gigs with established bands," he said. "I decided that if I was going to get a chance to play, I'd better get out there too." He joined Gary Burton's quartet in 1972 and began playing on international stages alongside Burton, Harry Blazer '70 (drums), and Abraham Laboriel '72 (bass). Goodrick worked with Burton's group through 1976 and recorded five albums with the vibist.
As a member of Burton's band, Goodrick explored some challenging repertoire and gained acclaim for the harmonic intricacy of his accompaniments. During that time, Goodrick also decided to depart from established jazz-guitar technique. "After playing classical guitar and knowing what was possible playing with the fingers instead of a pick, I felt that as a jazz player, I should have those techniques available all the time," Goodrick said. "I phased out the pick a little at a time and finally threw it away in 1976."
Soon afterward, Goodrick left the Burton band, turning over all guitar chores to rising jazz star Pat Metheny, and for several years focused on teaching. In 1982, he began getting calls to play in Europe, Asia, Canada, and even Cuba with such artists as Charlie Haden, Paul Motian, Jack DeJohnette, Michael Brecker, Dave Liebman, and others. In the 1990s, Goodrick led his own quartet in concerts throughout Europe. He also joined forces with Berklee faculty members including Mili Bermejo-Greenspan, Laszlo Gardony, Hal Crook, Greg Hopkins, and George Garzone to play concerts locally and abroad. He returned to the Berklee faculty in 1997.
Goodrick's deep knowledge of the guitar's harmonic possibilities, a pursuit he has explored from the time he was a teenager, has been his professional trademark. "I remember getting a Mel Bay guitar book with diagrams that were labeled 'orchestral chord forms,'" he said. "There were so many different types of chords in there. The first time I played a C7 flat-five with the F-sharp in the bass, I thought it was the hippest thing I'd ever heard. At an early age, I developed an interest in unusual harmonic sounds." For decades, Goodrick has continued his quest for chordal sounds that he hasn't heard before.
The search led him to team up with Associate Professor Mitch Haupers in 2000 to organize and publish Mr. Goodchord's Almanac of Guitar Voice-Leading. In its first two volumes (totaling 600 pages), Goodrick, a.k.a. Mr. Goodchord, reveals his findings about triads, seventh chords, and other harmonic structures derived from the major, melodic minor, and harmonic minor scales. Goodrick and Haupers present the diatonic chords of each scale in close and spread voicings moving through six cycles (root motion ascending in seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, and sevenths).
The exhaustive study yielded some unex- pected results that extend far beyond the harmonic exploration of the guitar that the title implies was Goodrick's original intent. Actually, some of the material is nearly impossible to play on guitar and is much simpler on piano. Goodrick's systematic approach to voice leading makes valuable tools available to composers and improvisers regardless of their instrument. To date, the first two volumes have been hailed by such jazz artists as Michael Brecker, Lyle Mays, Pat Metheny, Russell Ferrante, Dave Liebman, Carla Bley, Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Haslip, and others. (Visit www.mrgoodchord.com to read the artist endorsements of the books and more.)
"If I had understood the scope of this project before I started, I might not have done it," Goodrick said. "It's massive. As I started working, it kept growing. I was writing and working out these chords that I'd never played or heard beforeeven in a diatonic setting. For the first time, I think, all the diatonic, four-part chords that occur within major, melodic, and harmonic minor scales are identified. There is no way there can be any others."
Goodrick is pleased at the reception of his work by nonguitarists. "When you work with the books, it is almost like the material speaks to you. And it speaks to everyone differently. Everyone can use these books, and whatever music comes out of the experience will be entirely their own. Mitch and I thought that was very important."
A younger musician might have been tempted to hold back some of his hard-won
knowledge, but Goodrick is philosophical about passing along what
he has gained from his lifelong musical quest. "In getting older,
I have thought that there are some things I've learned that could
be useful to other people. From a purely human standpoint, it seems
really important for me to share them." Goodrick and Haupers are
completing the final volume of the voice-leading almanac and have
started a new book on rhythm.

A week ago, Microsoft proposed to do away with the browser-less Windows 7 E and, instead, ship Windows 7 with a browser ballot screen in Europe. The company said it had submitted its proposal to the (seemingly enthusiastic) European Commission, but it would move forward with Windows 7 E until receiving approval.
Well, that plan turned out to be short-lived. CNet News now reports that Microsoft has canned Windows 7 E without waiting for the Commission's backing. Why? Microsoft Deputy General Counsel Dave Heiner explains:
"One reason we decided not to ship Windows 7 'E' is concerns raised by computer manufacturers and partners," Heiner said. "Several worried about the complexity of changing the version of Windows that we ship in Europe if our ballot screen proposal is ultimately accepted by the Commission and we stop selling Windows 7 'E'. Computer manufacturers and our partners also warned that introducing Windows 7 'E', only to later replace it with a version of Windows 7 that includes IE, could confuse consumers about what version of Windows to buy with their PCs."
There's more to it, of course. Windows 7 E wouldn't have allowed European users to do an in-place upgrade from Windows Vista, so Microsoft planned to offer full Win7 licenses at upgrade prices in Europe. Now, CNet News says the company will provide the same choice between cheap upgrades and not-so-cheap full licenses as in North America. More revenue for Microsoft, in other words. EU customers who already pre-ordered the discounted full licenses won't have to pay more, though.

Having a pet cat at home is a wonderful feeling. You can always cuddle your cat while she purrs softly throughout the day, but when it comes to her health, you need to be firm and aware of what you're doing. Just like humans, cats need high protein food to maintain healthy tissue and body growth rate.
Go for trusted brands like Royal Canin cat food to ensure that your feline gets a healthy dose of taurine each time it has a meal. You can also visit mysteriouscatz.com/collections/cat-food to buy royal canin cat food online.
There are many flavors your cat will love – tuna, beef and chicken are the most popular. Experiment with all of the above and give your cat a healthy combination of all of them so they never lack essential protein in their diet.
Also, check the cat food you typically buy for an amino acid called taurine. This particular amino acid is very important in the overall health of your cat, and your cat will eat as much food as it has to supplement this particular amino acid.
Good quality products will always ensure the best food content and nutrient mix for your pet – make sure you keep the cost as the last priority in your list. This seems like a perennially confusing question for cat owners- the choice between canned and dry cat food. However, the answer to this question is quite simple – you need both varieties in your diet.
Canned cat food is usually high in water, which not only makes it easier to eat but also helps keep you hydrated. Dry cat food, on the other hand, is more of a treat than regular food for your cat and should, therefore, be used sparingly or as a reward for good behavior.

Evil thug Matthew McKenna has been jailed today after subjecting his girlfriend to the horrific ordeal of waterboarding torture.
We told how the 28-year-old pinned Melissa Murray of the same age to the ground before holding a saturated towel over her face and soaking her with water - leaving her fearing for her life.
He was convicted at Hamilton Sheriff Court .
What is waterboarding?
The brutal technique is often referenced to in terrorist films and documentaries, having previously being used by the CIA.
During waterboarding, interrogators cover a subject's face with a cloth and pour water over their nose and mouth.
The practice, which has been used around the world for decades, simulates the feeling of drowning.
It can cause extreme pain, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation and other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, and lasting psychological damage.
In 2008, the then Foreign Secretary David Miliband described waterboarding as torture, adding that "the UK unreservedly condemns the use of torture".
In the US, the CIA has admitted using the technique on terrorist suspects.
It gained a new level of notoriety following the 9/11 attacks, with the Bush administration using it on people it suspected of terrorism.
In 2014, a US committee on Intelligence issued a lengthy document on the CIA interrogation programme, in which it concluded that enhanced interrogation techniques, like waterboarding, were not effective for acquiring information.
Despite this, in January 2017, Donald Trump told ABC News that he "absolutely" thinks waterboarding works, adding: "as far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire".

That is marvelous. I don't think it starts slow at all, love the expression on her face.
I saw this couple live in San Francisco (this exact performance). They performed at Teatro Zinzanni, a dinner theater. The most of the performers are also the waiters. The whole production was extremely well done. This couple was definitely the best performance. Here's a video of what it was like http://vimeo.com/3942983There's a bit of overlap between these "circus/cabaret" folks and the old school Burning Man crowd.

MEDIA ADVISORY – March 31st Zoom Press Conference 12pm EST

SEIU’s Committee of Interns and Residents calls on Mt Sinai Morningside, Mt Sinai West and New York Presbyterian-Brooklyn Methodist to address the working conditions of resident physicians.
New York City. Limited sick time, 80 to 120 hour work weeks, and constantly advocating for patients was the reality for resident physicians before COVID-19 hit New York. Residents are the frontline physicians in New York City’s EDs and ICUs. For the last 6 months residents have been fighting for protections and hospital procedures, the lack of which, the COVID-19 crisis has greatly exacerbated.
“We have attempted to address working conditions at Mt Sinai Morningside, Mount Sinai West and NYP-Brooklyn by negotiating our union contracts. Our concern is that the lack of cooperation and transparency around critical issues could result in an even more bleak experience at the frontline of healthcare,” said Dr. Christina Gomez, CIR Regional Vice President.
The challenge in reaching a fair contract involved convincing multi-millionaire CEOs that we deserve better. One of whom has reportedly fled New York to his Florida vacation home.
At Mount Sinai Morningside and West, early on during the outbreak many staff were told not to wear masks. After we brought up concerns, surgical masks were widely implemented, but N95s have still been in short supply.
”Around the city, hospitals are following guidelines set by the CDC and DOH. Over the past few weeks, these policies have been moving away from preventative measures, and are focusing more on how to keep healthcare workers in hospitals. As a result of inadequate PPE and testing for frontline healthcare workers, many of us could be carrying COVID-19. Because these policies keep relaxing, we face an enhanced risk of spreading it to our coworkers and to our patients. Our commitment to doing no harm cannot be met if we’re not adequately prepared for this crisis,” said Bryan Doherty, a GI fellow at NYP-Brooklyn Methodist.
Residents have presented both hospitals with ideas about how they can reduce the spread of COVID-19 among staff and patients, but the hospitals have been largely unresponsive. For example, at NYP-Brooklyn Methodist, all residents are required to clock in every day, even days we are not working, in order to get paid. We have asked the hospital to eliminate this policy temporarily, because it means that many of us, who otherwise would be staying home, are now required to go out into the community and travel to the hospital by public transit in order to clock in. Continuing this policy creates a risk of our contracting and spreading the virus that doesn’t need to exist.
We refuse to be silent anymore and we ask for respect as frontline physicians in order to get us all through this pandemic. Our patients deserve better. Our community deserves better. Our city deserves better and so do we.

Toyota Motor Company has just unveiled the 2012 Prius Plug-In Hybrid, the newest in their line of innovative hybrid vehicles. Since its debut in 2001, Toyota has sold more than one million cars making the Prius the best selling hybrid vehicle in America and the world.
Introduced at the 2011 Green Drive Expo the Prius Plug-in is said to combine hybrid vehicle operation with extended electric vehicle driving but the prices are lower than pure electric vehicles.
The new model provides seating for five passengers with no reduction on cargo or rear-seat passenger space. Toyota reduced the weight of the vehicle by adding aluminum to the exterior, so even with the built-in battery-charging system the vehicle is only 123 lbs. heavier than the standard Prius Liftback.
Great standard features include driver-feedback screens, heated front seats, Smart Key System and the touch-screen Display Audio. Also standard are Toyota’s Entune™ multimedia service and a rear backup camera. An Eco Savings Record screen let drivers compare their usage with a different vehicle.
Toyota anticipates the vehicle to achieve 87 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) in combined driving, and 49 MPGe in hybrid mode. A standard AC outlet is used to charge the vehicle. A full charge of the built-in 4.4 kWh lithium ion battery pack takes about 2.5 to 3 hours with a 120v outlet, or 1.5 hours with a 240v outlet.
The Prius provides quality EV performance for 15 miles at speeds up to 62 mpg. Then, at a pre-selected battery charge level, moves into hybrid operation under full acceleration. The engine power is divided between the generator and the drive wheels, so the battery stays charged.
The new plug-in uses battery power for longer distances and at higher speeds than the standard Prius, a display panel monitors fuel consumption and keeps track of the remaining battery charge. During times when the Prius Plug-in Hybrid isn’t running in EV mode, the vehicle uses its electric-only capability when it’s more efficient.

Start of my ‘Favourite Scarf Ever’
I wanted an easy project – something that was portable and that doesn’t require concentration. Favourite Scarf Ever from Lisa Bruce (sunshinewalks) seemed perfect.
Here’s the pattern page in ravelry
It uses one ball of (extremely beautiful) misti alpaca sock yarn – perfect (I have quite a few of those on my stash). This one is colourway 46.
What you see above is my third attempt (maybe fourth – I am losing track). It is an easy project, but I get to the end of a row and realise I haven’t done the double decrease properly and my attempts to undo one row always end in disaster. Or I forget to P2Tog at the end and get half-way through the next row before I realise everything is slightly out of alignment. I need to learn how to fix mistakes – is there any course on that?
This is definitely a slow process… although that means I get to watch more War and Peace and my guilty secret viewing Nashville (this is so trashy and melodramatic – love it).
I successfully completed the waist decreases and I am just onto the bust increases – I’m thinking of putting a life line in for when everything goes pear shaped.
There is a nice rhythm to this and (so far) the yarn has been angelic (except for the first ball which fell apart). I haven’t quite got to the point where I could do this out and about and keep track of the lace pattern.
The other day I succumbed to the lure of the yarn shop and bought two new sock yarns
I couldn’t really help myself …but they are beautiful.
February Fitted Pullover
So I know in the last post I said I wanted to make this ( and I still do) I decided I should finish what was already on my needles. I am working on the February Fitted Pullover by Amy Herzog. I have made it to the waist shaping and so far so good.
Swatches and the start of new projects
I’ve been able to get some knitting done while watching television (this series).
I have swatched and started working on the February Fitted Pullover (again – you might remember I have tried this once before). The yarn is Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK in colour Tease.
I have also swatched and started knitting Hermione’s Everyday Socks. This is yarn I bought from the Melbourne Art Gallery markets (Hawthorn Cottage Yarns).
I suspect progress will be slow.
Bits and Pieces
I went away for the weekend to Melbourne – very decadent. While there, I visited my favourite shop L’uccello. The fat quarters in the above pictures are from there – I had to include the bag in the photo because it is such fun.
The yarn is from Hawthorn Cottage Yarns – they had a stall at the markets at the art gallery.
I have quite a few ideas – now I just have to get on and make something.
Plain Vanilla Sock
While trudging my way through the Denim Wrap I was very keen to start knitting another pair of socks, but I was determined to finish one project before I started another (I feel quite smug that I manage to do that). Anyway, I decided I am just going to get started and see where this yarn leads – so far it is top-down and a K2P2 rib.
The yarn is Hungry Hungry Dystopos from Indigodragonfly – let’s not think about the air miles involved in that journey!
Check out my new double points! From here – I bought them for myself as a birthday present.
I have started my Granny Square blanket – four squares so far. I have to say I find these quite addictive and they really require no concentration – perfect for TV watching. The yarn is a Bendigo classic in 12 ply that I had in my stash. This yarn feels lovely I would definitely work with it again. I’ve worked out that I can make 8 squares per 200g ball (I made a square and weighed it!). Once I have made 8 squares (I have 4 so far), I will buy a different colour – I am trying to keep my stash accumulation down.
Sewwitty’s Blue Jean Wrap
So every now and then I have been working on my Blue Jean Wrap – It has an easy to remember 12 stitch repeat lace pattern. I have found it to be the perfect pattern to work on late in the evening (when my brain has stopped working.
I am using an Aran Cotton from Jo Sharp, which has been surprisingly easy to use – I had all sorts of trouble when I used this yarn for a cardigan for Miss P.
This whole crochet lark was so that I could make Granny Squares! I thought I should just try to make one and I found a great tutorial here. The three chains in each corner make the shape stay nice and square. It was really quite addictive – I will stop after just one more round. Now my plan is to make a load of these and make a blanket – one colour at a time. I already have two balls of this in my stash.
Blue Jean Wrap
I have started knitting Blue Jean Wrap – I was looking for something simple to knit while watching television – or when my brain is too tired to do anything else. So far so good, it has an easy to remember lace sequence and once I managed to cast on the right number it has been plain sailing!
The yarn is an aran cotton from Jo Sharp – I bought it unlabelled, so can’t tell you the official colour, it was in my stash, so I feel quite smug about using something I already had.

It’s not surprising that Americans over age 65 are virtually unanimous in seeing Social Security as an important government program. As a group, they rely on it as the single greatest source of income in retirement.
But a poll commissioned by AARP to mark Social Security’s 75th anniversary (President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the transformational legislation on August 14, 1935) has found something even more interesting: young people line up solidly behind Social Security, too.
In a national phone survey of 1,200 adults by the GfK Roper consulting firm (margin of error: plus or minus 3 percent), 90 percent of those ages 18 to 29 deemed Social Security important. In fact, almost half of them agreed with the statement that it is “one of the very most important government programs,” an opinion held by nearly 80 percent of those over 65.
And nearly three-quarters of these youngest respondents strongly agreed that while they may not need the program when they retire, a time that probably seems infinitely far away, “I definitely want to know that it’s there, just in case I do.” Sixty-two percent said they will rely on Social Security payments in some way. By a wide margin, they opposed cutting benefits to reduce the federal deficit.
More than 80 percent said that even if they believed they could do better investing on their own, they saw their Social Security payments as contributing to “the common good.” On behalf of their parents and grandparents, I appreciate that. Among all non-retired adults in the survey, about half say they’re willing to pay higher payroll taxes now to ensure that Social Security remains available for today’s older people and for themselves when they retire, a proportion that varies little by age.
Yet here’s the odd part: only a third of the younger respondents, and only a third of all respondents, expressed confidence in the program’s future. How do you square these opinions that Social Security is crucial, that you want it to be available decades hence, with the belief that it probably won’t be?
“While younger Americans lack confidence in Social Security’s future — not surprising given what they may be reading in newspapers and on blogs — they desperately want to believe that it will be there for them,” said Mary Liz Burns, an AARP spokeswoman.
In a recessionary time, many of those under 30 can’t or don’t contribute to I.R.A.’s or 401(k)’s, she noted, or may not have the opportunity to save through their workplaces. Yet they don’t want to go it alone, the poll indicates.
“Younger people know they have a stake in the future of Social Security,” Ms. Burns said. Perhaps because they’ve so recently seen their parents’ and grandparents’ retirement savings shrink, they take a dim view of a plan that operates more like a private investment account, “with people taking the risk of possible investment losses for the possibility of greater returns.” Seventy-five percent of the under-30 group said Social Security should remain a guaranteed benefit.

I'm now enmeshed thoroughly in the door, now that I finally have the left rear window opening aligned with the door window opening and the windshield. There was some backtracking involved, and no small learning curve, but it seems to be coming together. Today I trimmed the door window, and mocked it up to make sure that all would fit when the Hysol is applied. I'm pretty happy with the way it all looks Next is prepping the window and door for bonding, then moving ahead with the bonding. Photo 2 shows door skin proud of the fuselage, but that's just because I didn't put a bolt there. All really does fit well.

Caitlin Hobbs makes "the kind of music you can drink coffee to." (Or tea. She doesn't discriminate.)
It wasn't long after Caitlin picked up her first guitar at the ripe age of 13 that she realized that other songwriters' music- while often beautiful and poignant and meaningful- didn't usually say exactly what she wanted to say- so, with the gumption that only a 13 year old with her first guitar can muster, she decided to start writing music of her own. She formed a number of bands in her hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana over the years, including the duo Kelly & Caitlin, her most successful collaboration to date. These days, she's 25 and she is branching out on her own and is in the process of recording her first EP. Her first single, "Endless Road", is currently available on Bandcamp.

| Rabri Devi and (right) Lalu Prasad at the meeting in Patna on Thursday. Picture by Deepak Kumar |
Patna, June 5: Lalu Prasad today declared the withdrawal of his party’s support to the Jitan Ram Manjhi-led JDU government, asserting that Nitish Kumar and his men had insulted his (Lalu’s) commitment against the communal and fascist forces.
“We had unconditionally supported the JDU government to keep the communal forces at bay. But an arrogant Nitish and his men have interpreted it as my greed to send either my wife Rabri Devi or daughter Misa Bharti to the Rajya Sabha,” RJD chief Lalu Prasad told his party workers while addressing a meeting at 10 Circular Road.
Lalu had earlier announced the unconditional support a day before the new chief minister, Jitan Ram Manjhi, faced a trust vote to prove his majority in the Assembly. Though the government has the strength needed to cross the majority mark of 119, the RJD’s support had given an additional shot in the arm to Manjhi.
Lalu had called the meeting to review the performance of the party in the Lok Sabha elections and also to discuss the future strategy. The meeting was attended by all general election candidates, districts presidents and office-bearers of block and panchayat levels.
While addressing in the meeting, Lalu also said Nitish’s party lost deposits in 25 Lok Sabha constituencies whereas the RJD did it in one constituency — West Champaran. “Nitish was not fighting against the communal and fascist forces; he was fighting against me. It led to lose his deposits in 25 Lok Sabha constituencies,” said Lalu.
Leaders like Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, Rabri Devi, Prabunath Singh, Raghunath Jha were present also. However, Misa Bharti, who lost from Pataliputra Lok Sabha constituency, was not present.
Lalu also took a dig at Nitish’s resignation as chief minister and termed it “drama”.
“The sacrifice of resigning from the post of chief minister is just a mere drama. It was proved from the resolution which JDU state president Basishthan Narayan Singh read out that in 2015, if once again mandate would be given to the party, Nitish will become the chief minister,” he said.
The RJD chief also said that the party would continue its alliance with the Congress. “We are not looking here and there,” he added.
At the same time, Lalu stressed upon making preparation for the 2015 Assembly elections and said his party would organise another meeting on July 5 (RJD foundation day) in Vaishali where the forthcoming Assembly elections would be discussed.

A leaf found while harvesting fruits at an orchard in Pescadero, CA
I didn’t realize the importance of self-love until my mid-thirties. “Love others first”. The idea of putting others first was engrained in my mind since I was a young child. I took it literally for years and still do in my personal and professional life. There was a time in my life, I felt completely depleted because I was consistently doing too much. I felt I had nothing more to give. For someone who is a giver, this can be devastating. It was at this time that I realized the importance of self-care. I have increased my daily self-care practices because I finally recognized how much happier, productive and efficient I am when my basic needs are met.
My morning starts with a meditation practice & a sit down breakfast. During the day, I use the hourly stretch break reminder on my desktop to stretch and move. I am a believer in the saying “sitting is the new smoking”. Sitting for long periods of time has been correlated with health concerns such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and metabolic syndrome (a condition which consists of high blood, pressure, high blood sugar, high triglyceride, low high density lipo-protein (HDL) and excess body fat around the waist). I move throughout the day by doing one of the following depending on my body’s needs: 20 minute lunchtime walk/yoga in my office, 5-10 minutes of weights (biceps, triceps, abs, lunges, etc) or 30seconds of jumping jacks.
One major lesson I learned over the years is to listen to my body. Our bodies are capable of telling us what we need if we pay attention. If we fulfill those needs in the moment, we are likely to feel content. For instance, our hypothalamus, a part of the brain that detects thirst lets us know when we are thirsty. I found that thirst and hunger were two things I was very attuned to in my body. I would easily get irritated if I was hungry or dehydrated. Now, I eat regularly and when I am hungry. This prevents me from stress eating and overeating.
Now as I’m getting older, I realize that self-time is very important. For me this means going to a gentle yoga class, a bike ride, a nourishing dinner or relaxing with a movie after work

Three homes packed with features designed to reduce energy consumption were on display Saturday in Ukiah.
“We need to cut back on fossil-fuel usage,” said Deborah McGillivray, whose home on Cypress Street was the first stop in a day of demonstrations and tours of sustainable homes within the City of Ukiah.
“We wanted to show people what they can do to upgrade their houses for energy and water efficiencies,” McGillivray said, explaining that many people in rural areas are much more familiar with ways to live off the energy grid, but city dwellers may not realize they have options for doing so as well.
Front-loading washing machines save water, skylights in bathrooms reduce electricity usage, shade trees and skylight blinds reduce air-conditioning use and weather-stripping windows and doors cuts down on heating bills.
By far the biggest addition to the McGillivrays’ home are the large solar panels mounted on a 15-foot-tall steel pole that aligns the solar array with the roof.
The couple had wanted to put in solar panels for years, but with no shortage of tall trees on their property and their neighbors’ properties, finding a spot where enough sun could reach the panels was a challenge.
Luckily, both Debora and her husband, Terry, are engineers, so they were eventually able to come up with a location and design that worked, since installing them on the roof was not an option.
“The roof doesn’t slope in the right way,” Terry said, explaining that it took him “a while to figure out how we could get sun exposure.”
It took six months to get the permits from the city and cost $17,000 to get the panels and have them installed by Jay Fraser Construction last year. With $8,000 in rebates from the city and federal tax credits, the panels ended up costing $9,000.
Since the panels generate about 75 percent of the couple’s electricity usage in spring, summer and fall and 40 percent in winter, they estimate the panels save $550 a year.
“And with two home offices, we use a fair amount of electricity,” Terry said.
Debora said if any of the steps they’ve taken — converting lawn space to raised beds, adding a compost bin and using a clothes line — inspire others it will be a “win-win.”
The second home on the tour is owned by Richard Kaderli and Linda Sanders and features the first “gray water irrigation system in Ukiah,” installed in 2008.
“Now when the sun shines and our trees are thirsty, we just turn on the lever on the pipe attached to our washing machine and our apple trees and redwood grove are irrigated, lowering our water bill and decreasing our water use,” Sanders said.
While the first two homes are both older homes that have been updated, the third home was a new home built for Andrea and Neil Davis in 2010. Its roof is designed to heat water, collect rain water and reflect heat from the sun.

Not Quite Raving about Ravin
Do not be mistaken, the 2009 TV movie "High Noon" has next to nothing to do with the classic 1952 western of the same name, but is another adaptation of a Nora Roberts' novel. I said it has next to nothing to do with the classic western because it does refer to it, but is such a weak connection it borders on being pointless. And as such what "High Noon" from 2009 is, is a generic but entertaining thriller where a female hostage negotiator finds her life and those of her friends and family at risk from a man who wants revenge. Oh and with this being Nora Roberts' territory there is a romantic sub plot as well.
She may be a little unorthodox but hostage negotiator Lt. Phoebe McNamara (Emilie de Ravin - The Hills Have Eyes) is good at her job, so good that some male officers dislike her with a passion as she puts them to shame. But it is not just the officers she needs to worry about as she becomes the target of a man who wants revenge and is doing a good job of terrorizing her as well as her family and friends including her new lover Duncan Swift (Ivan Sergei - The Break-Up) who feels helpless trying to protect her.
So as mentioned "High Noon" is another TV movie adaptation of a Nora Roberts' story but to be honest whilst it is for the most a nicely put together story it's not the most original. The whole idea of hostage negotiator Lt. Phoebe McNamara being terrorized by a man who wants justice isn't that unique, just the previous year there was something similar done in "Untraceable" and before that it had already been done. But whilst not completely original it is a nice little story because it is a guessing game, who is the person who wants revenge and why. There are various suspects, the suspended cop Arnie Meeks who dislikes Phoebe, there is Duncan Swift the love interest who could be playing some sort of sick game and there are a couple of others. And thankfully "High Noon" doesn't reveal the identity of the tormentor till well into the second half.
But the sad thing is that whilst we don't know who the vengeful tormentor is when we do learn it is someone plucked out of thin air, someone we wouldn't have guessed. And in a moment of high convenience Phoebe's boss survives an attack on his life and so is able to tell her who this person is. We still get to find out why this person wants revenge on Phoebe but it is so easily done that it ends up annoying.
The good thing is that whilst you have Phoebe in the midst of a crazed stalker we do get some quite exciting scenes. There are the mutilated objects which get left on her doorstep, the hostage negotiation which goes wrong when having talked the hostage taker out someone shoots them; there is even a scene which features a collar bomb. Plus we have Arnie Meeks whose dislike of Phoebe leads to a physical attack in the police station. Considering that "High Noon" is a TV movie it features some reasonably exciting scenes even if they are less than realistic, which to be honest is a bit of an issue as in the real world there are many things which wouldn't happen. Plus of course with "High Noon" being a Nora Roberts' story there is also the romantic element, a cliche but quite charming little subplot which ties in nicely with the main storyline.
As for the connection between this "High Noon" and the classic western of the same name, well it is weak and I will explain. We learn that Phoebe's tormentor calls himself Cooper in homage to Gary Cooper, he whistles the music from the classic western and he plans the big showdown at, you guessed it, high noon. It almost borders on the corny and most certainly could have been more intelligently done but it is also nice to see a modern movie try and pay homage to a classic western.
Now what was a pleasant surprise was the acting as whilst realism is a big issue Emilie de Ravin is very likeable as Lt. Phoebe McNamara. Okay so her character it too weak to be believable as a hostage negotiator but Ravin gives Phoebe both an element of strength and vulnerability which draws us in. And to be honest whist Ivan Sergei is nice enough as love interest Duncan and Cybill Shepherd is under used as Phoebe's agoraphobic mother it is Ravin who carries the movie and keeps us watching.
What this all boils down to is that "High Noon" is an entertaining TV movie but one which is no different to many others and has various issues which drag it down. But despite many noticeable issues it delivers several nice moments of excitement and Emilie de Ravin does a nice job of drawing us in to her situation.

A committee of the Missouri state House is expanding its investigation into Republican Gov. Eric Greitens, who admitted to having an extramarital affair with his hair stylist but denies he abused her. The panel will make recommendations about whether to pursue impeachment.
The decision follows an explosive 24-page report that was released on Wednesday by the House's Special Investigative Committee on Oversight. The document contains testimony from "Witness 1," a woman who alleged that Greitens subjected her to sexual and physical abuse.
She testified that during their first encounter in 2015, "for whatever reason, I trusted him" but that she didn't want to "do anything physical with him." Nevertheless she said that is what ensued.
Ultimately, she testified, he took a partially nude photo of her without her consent and threatened to make it public if she revealed their affair because he wanted to protect himself while he was running for office.
When she later confronted Greitens, she said, he told her that he erased the photo because he "felt bad" about taking it. The committee said it does not have physical evidence of an image or its transmission. Greitens was indicted on one count of felony invasion of privacy in February.
The report also laid out how the woman told her now ex-husband about her interaction with Greitens. While secretly recording the conversation, the husband said, "You've been half-raped and blackmailed" and she agreed. Her spouse gave pieces of their discussion to media outlets in December 2017 and the recordings corroborated her testimony, said the committee.
Two other witnesses related details that were consistent with central portions of the woman's testimony, according to the committee. Greitens chose not to testify and didn't produce documents or sworn answers to the committee's written questions.
He has denied the allegations apart from the affair, saying, "The mistake that I made was that I was engaged in a consensual relationship and a mistake for which I am deeply sorry." On Wednesday, he called the investigation "a political witch hunt."
Republican House Speaker Todd Richardson described the testimony as "beyond disturbing" and said that House leaders will decide whether the governor should be impeached in a special session, reported NPR member station KCUR.
The Associated Press reported that the committee would not begin impeachment proceedings before May 18, when the regular legislative session ends. If the House impeached Greitens, a panel of seven judges chosen by the Senate would conduct a trial to determine whether he should be removed from office.
After the report was released, officials in Missouri called for Greitens to resign, including Republican Attorney General Josh Hawley and Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

I couldn't miss doing a couple of designs for International Nail Art day. This first ones has my two favourite nail art techniques dots and stripes. I just love them. I used Rimmel Lose Your Lingerie as a base for the stripes and did stripes in Zoya Dove, OPI Sparrow Me the Drama, OPI Mod About You and Kester Black French White. The base of the dots is Zoya Dove. I don't do many pink designs but I like the colour combination in this one :)
I've been wanting to try this for ages so I decided Nail Art day was a good times to do it. The pretty soft purple is OPI You're Such a Budapest and the mint green is Rimmel Breakfast in bed. I applied both as base colours then used tape to make the V shape and used alternate colours for the space. Then I stamped with Konad black and a Moyou plate and finished the look by painting the silver line using Zoya Trixie.
There have been some great looks posted on Instagram, follow the tag #inads2014 to see them :)

‘Then the law is an ass,” said Mr Bumble in Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist when he was told that the law considered his wife to act under his direction.
Few truer words have been said – or written. And not only in relation to who dictates to whom. Because the law, that body of regulations that can shelter stupidity, pedantry, vindictiveness and sheer bloody-mindedness behind the veil of justice, is frequently an ass.
Yet the popular myth persists that the law should be equated with justice. It is not. At best, these concepts are on nodding terms because the law has a much closer acquaintance with wealth and power than it does with justice.
In the face of abusive political power or very deep pockets, justice can be ignored in the legal process.
So the classic figure of blindfolded justice, scales in one hand and sword in the other, characterises much more myth than reality. And there are plentiful examples to illustrate this.
The law, the legal establishment, because it claims to embody truth and justice, is also reluctant to admit mistakes. For example, convicted individuals who continue to plead their innocence do not qualify for parole or early release, no matter how well behaved they are in prison.
Until and unless they confess to their claimed crimes and “show remorse”, they remain incarcerated.
In other words, only those who are prepared to bolster the myth of the fundamental infallibility of the system qualify for a modicum of fair and just treatment.
This amounts to an encouragement of the wrongly convicted to commit perjury. And the fact that hardened criminals will readily adopt a remorseful posture to secure an earlier release does not seem overly to concern those who administer the law.
Superior courts, as many lawyers will admit, are also wary of overruling the judgments of lower courts. This is often on the basis that the senior judges, hearing an appeal, will state that they were not present at the original trial and therefore unable to assess the “demeanour” of witnesses or accused.
This immensely fallible system allows for cases such as the recent release of Fusi Mofokeng and Tshokolo Mokoena after serving 19 years of a life sentence for a crime they did not commit – and refused to plead guilty to. They were released on parole – meaning conditional release of guilty individuals – on Freedom Day last year after a long campaign by various groups.
Under President Jacob Zuma’s Freedom Day announcement last July that saw thousands of prisoners freed on parole, Mofokeng and Mokoena were told that they would be truly free next year, rather than having to wait until the end of 2050, should they live that long.
They have continued to plead their innocence – and all the evidence points to the fact that they were not involved in the 1992 shoot-out between security forces and members of an ANC self-defence unit (SDU) in which a policeman died.
Those who were involved were also arrested, sentenced and subsequently granted amnesty in 1998 by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
No evidence was led that the two friends had been involved; it was enough that they were friends and associated with the local SDU. And because they would not lie and admit to guilt, they could not apply for amnesty to the TRC.
Because they remained true to themselves, they remained behind bars, labelled as criminals who failed to show remorse. It was such an obvious injustice that the local community, NGOs and church groups campaigned for their release for more than a decade before parole was granted. It was a classic case of the sheer bloody-mindedness of a system that continues to bask in a myth of infallibility. That it does so despite much evidence of its fallibility and refusal to admit it does not appear to matter.
We will never know how many other cases of this kind exist; how many innocent people rot in prison because they refuse to confess to crimes they did not commit. There are cases that stand out clearly, perhaps none more so than that of Donovan Leibrandt, the naval rating who spent 13 years fighting what several lawyers have called a “terrible travesty”. He was taken to Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town last December first, mistakenly, on the basis that he was to serve eight years for an arson conviction.
Yet, on appeal, his sentence had been reduced to four years. More importantly, no evidence was led that he had been at the scene of any arson either before, during or after the event.
However, it was alleged that he had known about, and therefore was involved in, an attempt to burn down the records office at Simon’s Town naval base.
Thomas Ramalahla, also a naval rating and a former member of the ANC’s armed wing UmKhonto weSizwe, broke into the office and set about trying to burn the place down.
But he set himself on fire and fled the scene, suffering grievous burns in the process.
Leibrandt and his friend Leontoane Rantai, both activists in the then-still unrecognised military trade unions, later met the critically injured Ramalahla, wrapped him in a wet duvet and drove him to hospital where he later died. About this there is no dispute.
Key to the case was the notion of common purpose – that Leibrandt and Rantai had agreed with the attack.
When they were charged, they demanded – not trusting the military – to be tried by a civilian court.
This was denied and they were sent to court martial. After more than two years, the charges against both men were dropped. The case had prescribed, because of the delays admitted by the military authorities, and Leibrandt and Rantai were acquitted and went back to work, where Leibrandt was recommended for promotion.
But in 2002 the arson charge was handed over to the civilian courts.
“It simply doesn’t make sense,” says former defence lawyer Cecil Burgess, now an ANC MP. “If you elect to try someone in one court and fail, you can’t simply change to another court.”
But such, it seems, is the nature of the law. And vindictiveness does seem to play a part.
The magistrate in Cape Town’s Wynberg Regional Court admitted into evidence a “confession” signed by Rantai after three days of “physical interrogation” by military police and which Burgess categorised as “torture”.
Although the magistrate “condemned” Rantai’s factually flawed confession, she allowed it into evidence and sentenced the two to eight years in prison. So began a 13-year odyssey that ended with Leibrandt in prison and Rantai, having given up and left for the rural areas, having apparently disappeared.
But in prison with Leibrandt are many men and women who are ill, even terminally so, but who lack the connections and resources that will see them discharged before they die.
When Zuma last week announced the parole of former police commissioner Jackie Selebi and six others, Leibrandt’s wife Zoliswa hoped he would be included. He was not. He has still not admitted guilt; still not expressed remorse for something he says he did not do. And so a man, who remained gainfully employed for a decade, fighting an almost single-handed battle to have his innocence established, remains in prison, reaffirming that the law is, all too often, an ass.

UH participates in first-ever international driverless motor racing event
The University of Hawaii made history by participating in the Indy Autonomous Challenge, the very first autonomous racing car event. The team, EUH AI Racing Tech, achieved some of his fastest speeds, however, he didn’t complete the time trials and qualify for the final round and a chance to win the top prize of a million of dollars.
TUM Autonomous Motorsport of Germany won the final shootout and $ 1 million. Nine teams representing 21 universities in nine countries qualified for the competition on October 23 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500.
Generator AI to perform high speeds, tactical decisions
The Indy Autonomous Challenge is similar to other auto racing competitions, minus the need for someone behind the wheel. The driver is replaced by a variety of sensors that act as the vehicle’s eyes and ears, and a powerful computer to make the many route planning, tactical and strategic decisions necessary to deliver maximum vehicle performance. The system is an example of artificial intelligence, which forces engineers to create algorithms to program the car to generate human behaviors and interpret complex sensor data.
EUH AI Racing Tech was created thanks to a EUH Maui College Spring 2020 Course in Autonomous Vehicle Technology. Gary Passon, the course instructor, partnered with EUH MÄnoa College of Engineering to provide additional expertise and provide students with a hands-on learning experience.
EUH Assistant Professors at Maui College Elisabeth dubuit and Mark Hoffmann, EUH Assistant Professor of Manoa Zhuoyuan song, Battista, spring 2021 student in mechanical engineering Daryll suyat, junior in mechanical engineering Lillian shibata, and partners from the private sector, as well as experts and students from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at San Diego, all played major roles in the team.
The EUH AI The Racing Tech team is supported by several local companies and others in the industry, including the Maui Robotic Vehicle Association, St. Antoine school STEM program, VectorAero SARL, New Eagle SARL, ADLINK, Luxonis, PointOneNav, Emlid, RockWestComposites and others.
