Petition for the reopening of art galleries: the Council of State is seized with a request for interim relief
Following the new provisions of the decree n°2021-296 of 19 March 2021, the Professional Committee of the Art Galleries (CPGA) seized the French Council of State (Conseil d’Etat) on 25 March 2021 in order to obtain the reopening of art galleries.
The art market has, until now, resisted to the COVID-19 pandemic with a relatively limited loss of turnover in 2020, thanks to the development of the digital market and in particular of online only remote auctions, comprising sales without auctioneer.
The closing of museums since November 2020 could have encouraged the attendance rate of art galleries, but according to the aforementioned decree the art galleries are to be closed until 15 April 2021.
The Committee Profession of Art Galleries (CPGA), which represents 310 art galleries in France, has filed a request before the French Council of State for interim relief in the hope to obtain a ruling stating that “on the one hand, art galleries are among the facilities which are authorized to welcome the public – in the same way as voluntary sales companies – and on the other hand, their activity belongs to the activites allowed to welcome the public – in the same way as bookstores and record shops.”.
According to the CPGA, which denounces “a general and absolute prohibition aiming at the art galleries” this closure would “seriously undermine several fundamental freedoms: the freedom of expression and the free communication of ideas, the freedom of creation and artistic diffusion, and the freedom to access the cultural and artistic works, but also entrepreneurial freedom, the freedom of the trade and the industry, as well as the right to the free exercise of a profession, and, as a whole, he principle of equality.”
Following the decision of the Council of State of 13 November 2020 on the opening of bookshops to the public, the CPGA argues in its request that is is “undeniable that, taking into account in particular the role played by the art galleries in the communication of the ideas and the opinions and the importance of the art and thus of the artistic works for the population, these goods, if they cannot be regarded as goods of primary necessity in the same way as foodstuffs or products which are essential to the maintenance of the economic activity in itself, are by nature essential to the population, which must be taken into account when taking measures of confinement and deconfinement related to the health crisis.”
As a reminder, this is not the first cultural sector to appeal before the French Council of State, since several representatives of the entertainment and cinema sectors had already referred to this instance in order to obtain the reopening of cinemas, theatres and shows. The Council of State had then considered “that this closure was a serious infringement of freedoms, but was justified by an unfavourable and evolving health context”, its decision is now awaited concerning the galleries.

Hi, Ok, I haven`t been buying any makeup or nail polishes for a good two weeks. I`m so proud of myself for being able to fight the urge. So I just had to treat myself. LOL. Yesterday I went to the budget theater and caught Twilight: Breaking Dawn movie with my sister. After I sent her home, I decided to drop by Walgreen`s. I just had to get me some L`oreal nail polishes. I`ve been seeing them around lately but just haven`t caved in to buy any. After much thought, I decided to only narrow it down to 4 polishes. I got 2 from their regular line and 2 from their limited edition line. The colors are: Versaille Romance, Boozy Bruch, Spice Things Up, and Club Prive All polishes were $5.49 and at Walgreen`s they are BOGO 50% off. That is it for my L`Oreal nail polish haul. I`m happy I was able to quench my itch lol. What colors do you like? Have you hauled any L`Oreal nail polishes? *pix are mines* Thanks for reading please comment, rate, and follow <3 Dont forget to enter my /viz/ringing-da-new-year-giveaway

Ghana’s Digital Transformation should be handled by private sector – CEO
Mr Solomon Adiyiah, CEO, E Solutions Ghana and renowned IT expert, has noted that transforming the public and other sectors in the country digitally, should be left solely to the local private sector to handle.
He said that the private sector had the resources, the space, and expertise to undertake the task speedily and effectively.
Mr Adiyiah made the observation at a media brief on “Digital Transformation, the Future of Business”, and the launch of e solutions’ flagship offering “the Smart Workplace in Accra.
“Personally I don’t believe that government should be running these IT shops, but they could be kept as governing bodies that makes policies and enforces standards.
“If we want to build a viable ICT industry in Ghana, then the private sector, preferably local IT experts should be responsible for deploying these technologies,” he said.
He said apart from the financial sector that harnessed mobile banking technology, other sectors such as the, public sector, health, education, utility sectors, did not employ any real technological transformation.
“Government needs to empower the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) to ensure that they can drive the change through policies and standards and work with the private sector so the private sector can do the implementation.”
The Ministry of Communications through NITA have IT policies and engagements, but it needs to be advanced to proper technology delivery programmes initiated, that would go a long way to drive the development of the country forward”, he said.
“We need implementation, real deliveries and not policy documents, to increase productivity in government.
“Find the money and engage local IT experts to build a viable ICT industry that would support the entire country, and possibly export it,” he said.
The first enterprise architecture, which is the blueprint to drive Ghana has been drafted and would be initiated to push the country forward in this regard.
African countries like Mauritius, Rwanda, South Africa and the Ivory Coast, because of their drive in using digital transformation have been able to push their countries forward in terms of economic competitiveness.
The Smart workplace is an internet platform built to help agencies work effectively and improve productivity in organisations, targeted at government agencies, the public and private sector.
The platform promises a better customer experience, an enhanced brand reputation, streamlined business operations and increase in sales.
It also helps retention of customers, extending the reach of organisations and improved management decisions.
It speeds up the development of new products and services and promotes a culture that encourages creativity and innovation in organisations.

Officeworks invests in supply chain capabilities, will own and run it’s distribution centre.
Officeworks has changed its supply chain strategy in the wake of COVID-19 issues, with a view to owning and controlling a network of distribution centres across the country.
“When I joined we had a different strategy around our supply chain,” Officeworks managing director Sarah Hunter told The Australian, referring to the company’s previous outsourcing strategy.
“So we’ve worked really hard now to build our supply chain capability. We were in the process of outsourcing it, we are now in the process of building that capability.
Officeworks recently opened Australia’s first solar-powered robotic distribution centre in Derrimut, Victoria.
“We started in Victoria, and we have had approval to build, now board approval to invest, and we are building a new, similar (distribution centre) operation in Western Australia. That’s exciting,” she said.
“Looking at our capital expenditure three, four, or five years ago it’s a material step up in our investment in our supply chain.
“Most importantly for us as a business is that every team member who worked at the old facility has been completely retrained,” she said. “We have 120 team members who are now fully trained in how to work in an automated state-of-the-art environment.”
The need to control its own distribution became clear during the pandemic.
By December, Officeworks saw 46 per cent of its business come from online, including click and collect. Now it needs to move to retain this growth at a cost effective scale.
“We have created a facility that’s not only more productive, it’s going to enable our online business to grow in Victoria and into NSW at the rate that we expect our online business will grow.
“So now we have the capacity, the cost per pick is materially lower because it’s much more productive. It’s a win-win scenario for us. We’ve kept everyone employed with really great job security. We’ve scaled them up to work in the supply chain of the future.
“And on top of that, we now have the capacity for growth in Victoria that frankly we were struggling with through COVID.”

David O'Byrne in Istanbul -
After the collapse of its main European export markets, Turkey's hard-pressed automotive sector had been hoping that a temporary reduction in taxes levied on new automotive sales in Turkey might spark a recovery in domestic sales to tide it over. New figures suggest that hasn't been the case.
That tax holiday, which lasted from March through June, did provide a temporary fillip to sales as Turkish consumers rushed to take advantage of lower prices. Passenger car sales for May reached 44,000, while light commercial vehicle sales peaked at 20,000 in June - both figures representing the highest monthly sales figures since December 2007.
Yet despite this initial optimism, figures just released to bne for the month of July show sales plummeting to just 16,600 for passenger cars - the lowest recorded since January 2007 - and 12,000 for commercial vehicles - the lowest since November last year. "The drop in sales after the ending of the tax breaks is a normal reaction, and we'll get a truer picture of whether underlying demand is increasing in the last quarter," says Cengiz Kabatepe, assistant general manager of Ford Otosan, Ford's Turkish joint venture, which manufactures light commercial vehicles at two plants in northwest Turkey.
But with exports to key European markets still showing little sign of recovery, Kabatepe, like many in Turkey's automotive sector, would like to see the tax breaks made permanent. "Ideally, the tax on new vehicle sales should be balanced to encourage customers to buy, but at the same time maximizing revenue for the government," he says.
His sentiments are echoed by Dr Ercan Tezer, head of Turkey's automotive manufacturers association, who points out that the 18% VAT plus 37% special consumption tax levied on new car sales in Turkey is way above European norms. "Ideally, we'd like to be in line with the EU where taxes average 20-25%," he says.
And with as many as 2.5m of Turkey's 14m vehicles over 20 years old, many would like to see the introduction of incentives to scrap older vehicles. "An incentive scheme would help boost both sales and tax revenues, and would help remove more polluting vehicles from the roads," says Ibrahim Aybar, chairman of Turkey's Automotive Distributors' Association, pointing out that the lower emissions from new, more efficient vehicles would help offset any growth in vehicle ownership in Turkey, which at only 92 vehicles per 1,000 people is only a fifth of the European average of 470.
Taste for luxury
Both, however, readily admit that domestic sales alone won't be sufficient to sustain a revival of the sector, which at its peak in 2007 was exporting 80% of the 1.2m vehicles manufactured. Thus, any recovery in Turkey's automotive sector relies heavily on the recovery of its key European export markets, to which sales in the first six months of this year had dropped to 277,000 vehicles, down 35% the same period in 2008, when the 557,000 vehicles exported was the highest half-year figures the sector has ever recorded.
Ford's Kabatepe explains that, in fact, exports from the automotive sector as a whole are increasing again, pointing out that exports of vehicles and parts for the month of July totaled $1.7bn for the month of July, more than double the $700m-800m recorded in the early months of the year, although it is still far from the $2bn-2.5bn the sector recorded at its height in 2008.
However, he concedes that the figures reflect a greater recovery in the sale of automotive parts, which account for between 30-40% of revenue, as opposed to vehicle sales which account for 60%-70%. "There's no escaping the fact that to get back to the point we were at before the crisis with exports totaling $2.5bn a month, depends entirely on how quickly the European economy recovers, which obviously depends on many factors and is hard to predict," he explains, suggesting that such a recovery could begin next year.
Dr Tezer says that in the automotive sector a slump-recovery cycle typically lasts around three years, meaning he's expecting the industry to return to the point it was in 2008 by end of 2011.
However, while a recovery in exports can only be good news, a full recovery in Turkey's car-buying market also carries with it the risk of soaring imports. One of the more unusual statistics to emerge this year has been the revelation that imports continue to account for 56% of vehicle sales in Turkey - down only 2% from the peak of 58% recorded in 2008 and previously in 2004. As Dr Tezer points out, imports of commercial vehicles at only 38% of sale are acceptable, but imports of passenger cars that reached 66% of sales over the first six months of this year are not. "Our industry only produces certain types of passenger car, so we will always have imports, but ultimately the level of imports reflects on the competitiveness of our manufacturers," he explains.
Ford's Kabatepe says it's an unfortunate facet of Turkish culture that consumers still believe that imported products are better quality than locally produced, even though local plants have long been able to meet exacting global quality standards. "If they weren't up to scratch, we wouldn't have been able to export so many vehicles," he laughs. "We just need to convince our own consumers that this is the case."

A man accused of going on a shooting spree last week, killing two deputies and injuring a third deputy and a carjacking victim, identified himself as Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamonte.
The man appeared in a Sacramento courtroom Tuesday.
The man faces two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, four counts of carjacking, stealing a patrol car and deputy's weapon, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of an assault weapon. The other suspect, Janelle Monroy, faces 1 count of murder, three counts of attempted murder, four counts of carjacking and possession of an assault weapon.
More charges could be filed as the investigation into the actions of last Friday continues.
Following the initial appearance, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said he will be working to move the two suspects to another jail facility.
"I would prefer our officers not have to look at these two suspects every day" during this process, Sheriff Scott Jones said.
There had been some question about his identity. When the man was arrested Friday, he told authorities he was Marcelo Marquez. He also obtained a driving "privilege" card from the State of Utah in 2011 with the name Marcelo Marquez.
Bracamonte and his wife, Janelle Monroy, are accused of shooting at Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputies Friday morning, killing Deputy Danny Oliver.
They then carjacked at least two people, firing at Anthony Holmes. Holmes is still in the hospital.
They then drove up to Auburn, where shots were fired at two Placer County Sheriff’s deputies, killing Detective Michael David Davis Jr.
Monroy was arrested soon after. Then, after a brief standoff inside an Auburn home, Bracamonte was also arrested.
Neither Bracamonte nor Monroy entered a plea Tuesday, both will be back in court in December.

I’ve had quite a lot of fun with the Novation Launchpad, building interactive MIDI sequencers and control surfaces. For a while I’ve had the idea in mind of making an Arduinome (an Arduino powered DIY Monome MIDI controller)
When I was working with Will Nash on the Noisy Table, I really got to like the micro-switched arcade buttons that we fitted to the table to control the sounds. And so it was I hatched a plan to make a Monome style grid controller using arcade buttons. I soon found it had been done before, but it looked so cool it just encouraged me more.
I bought the switches quite a long time before I really decided exactly how I was going to use them. They have translucent white plungers with an LED holder in the microswitch clip at the base. The supplied LEDs were white and resistored up for 12V (I guess as a drop in replacement for filament bulbs in arcade machines). I decided to replace them with RGB LEDs, but I needed to make sure I had a decent scheme for doing this, since I needed to wire up 80 of these switches and didn’t want to end up making the same mistake 80 times!
|12V LED modules and sockets|
What I ended up with was breaking a matrix board into little squares, so I could thread the leds of the 5mm RGB LED through the holes and slide the board into the socket in place of the white LEDs modules. This worked nicely to connect the common anode and one of the cathodes to the LED socket. I was then faced with somehow getting a connection through to the other two cathodes while not interfering with the operation of the switch.
I have a big roll of Kynar wrapping wire that comes in very handy for this kind of thing. Kynar wire is a single core wire with a very thin insulation layer, so it easily gets through the tiniest of holes and gaps. I could solder two wires to the remaining LED cathodes and thread them down through the socket and out between socket and switch. Since the thin single core wire can be brittle I used little blobs of superglue to anchor the ends after soldering (Its amazing how much more useful superglue becomes if you get a spray can of activator, which sets the glue off instantly – even in blobs)
I am driving my LEDs with LPD6803 chips, which I have a big batch of from an eBay bargain. These are chainable 3-channel, constant current, self-running PWM controllers with a 2 wire serial interface. They allow 5 bits per channel of PWM resolution (Maybe the 8-bit PWM WS2801 would have been better, but I think these LPD6803′s are good enough, and they are what I had)
Every single LED needs its own controller chip… thats 80 chips… how to fit them all in? I considered putting an LED driver board on every button but quickly decided that wasn’t going actually to make life any easier. In the end I decided to put 8 driver ICs on a PCB and have one PCB per grid column (so 10 boards). There would be a lot of wire in there, but it seemed the most straightforward way to build it.
I’ve recently started getting small batches of PCBs made up by a supplier in China (ITEAD), and these driver PCBs are only the second batch I have ordered. Just getting the thing wired up to see if it worked (or if I had badly messed up my PCB design) took a long time and the suspense was killing me – but finally I was able to connect up an Arduino to send some data to it… and it worked!!
As well as the 8 x LPD6803 chips the PCB contains a 74HC165 parallel input shift register for reading the switches. I wasn’t going to count my chickens until I’d also tested the input part. Wooo, that worked too! (Eventually the input and output driver chips for all the boards will be chained together so the last test will be whether that all works)
The console for the grid is laser-cut 5mm acrylic. I had considered making a box completely out of acrylic, but wondered how sturdy it would be. Eventually I settled on building the box into a flight case and thought cases designed to house 19″ rack-mount mixers would be perfect. The one I got is a Reloop case from eBay, where if cost about £75. Not the cheapest way of getting a housing, but it should be good for a few knocks.
So… looks like I have a lot of wiring to do! I am still not certain how I will drive it when its finished, but most likely I will use an Arduino.
I’ve wanted to make a “globe POV” for a while after seeing a totally amazing hi-res one on YouTube a while back. The mechanical side of it (motor drive and power supply) always put me off a bit – while I think I can design a PCB and feel pretty confident it’s going to work, motors, gears and bearings are still a matter of kludge and guesswork for me.
“borrowed” (saw it on a Youtube video) the idea of using an axially mounted, graphite-lubricated, 3.5mm jack plug/socket connection to take power to the rotating LED board while also acting as a bearing. This time I used some chunky graphite brushes (intended for drill equipment I think) and drilled a 2.5mm hole in each and passed the 2mm drive shafts through them, then crudely superglued the end of the brush springs to my frame. And it worked! In fact it works rather well and I think I will be using this approach again.
The next step was to calculate the bitmap values to insert in the code. I needed data as 3 bytes for each vertical scan column through the image (64 x 3 bytes of data) and I needed the low bit positioned at the vertical top of each byte.

IADC is proud of Mana Shooshtari, a progressive young Democrat activist, the Chair of Central Valley Region, and member of the Steering Committee of Iranian American Democrats of California. The UN reached out to her after seeing her extensive work in support of democracy and her activism that has been captured in MS. Magazine, Seventeen, Washington Post, that led to her recent visit with President Biden in Oceanside, California.
Her speech on November 23rd, 2022, was part of the opening segment, which included remarks from the chef de cabinet, executive director of UN Women, and the European Union Ambassador to the UN.
The future is brighter because of young, passionate, and committed women like Mana Shooshtari. Thank you for amplifying the voices of Iranian people at the United Nations.
Indeed, Iranian people have risen up!!
Subsequent to this event, UN special session was held in Geneva on November 24th. United Nation passed a resolution to send a fact-finding team to Iran and investigate human rights violations. This is a great accomplishment by the people of Iran. Thanks to everyone who has helped amplify their voices.

Ahead of the election for Presiding Officers in the Tenth National Assembly in June, the lawmaker representing Okigwe North Federal Constituency has declared her intention to become the second female Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives
Second-term lawmaker, Miriam Onuoha, has made known her intention to run for the seat of Speaker in the 10th House of Representatives.
Declaring her intention at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, which had members of the Imo State Caucus in the House of Representatives, friends and some incumbent lawmakers in attendance, the federal lawmaker said she is joining the contest to bring fresh ideas and pragmatic solutions to the challenges bedevilling the nation.
Onuoha, who has since 2015 represented Okigwe North Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber, secured re-election into the 10th Assembly in February and is the only female contestant in the Speakership race.
READ ALSO: 10TH NASS: What the early signals indicate in race for Speakership
“I am in this race for the Speakership of the 10th Assembly to bring fresh ideas and pragmatic solutions to the harrowing current challenges of national cohesion to proffer a new Legislative Agenda for addressing the current debilitating issues of our dwindling economy, mass poverty, promoting bills that support massive industrialisation of the economy to create more jobs, inclusivity and unity of the Nigerian State.
I believe that Nigeria is at the threshold of history. I believe that the incoming government has heard loud and clear, the current hues, cries and aspirations of the Nigerian youth and as such, I have no modicum of doubt that my Speakership of the 10th Assembly will very much help the incoming government to foster a government that empowers the people, includes the people (youths & women of every region) and works 100% for the people to deliver the promises that my fellow Nigerians have long yearned for through the instrumentality of the House of Representatives.
The 10th Assembly promises to be a watershed of some sort for Nigeria’s fledgling democracy. As a nationalist and a dynamic team player to stem the tide of our dwindling economy and the much-needed dividends to Nigerians. A service-driven leader who understands citizens’ consideration and participation is what Nigeria truly needs.
On the threshold of service, natural cohesion, effective and cutting-edge legislative engagement with the executive, with the view to profer microeconomic solutions to the nation’s economic health, as well as dealing with other social challenges.
I confidently yet humbly seek the support of my fellow members elect and the prayer of the generality of my Nigerian people, for the office of the Speaker in the 10th Assembly. My emergence will create opportunities for NASS-stakeholders engagement to provide access for public participation in lawmaking,” the Imo-born legislator declared.

The federal lawmaker also appealed to all the male contestants to step down for her as a mark of honour for the women to contribute greatly to their electoral victory, adding that “over 55 per cent of valid votes cast are women.”
“The emergency of the dwindling number of women in parliament calls for a deliberate action, an action that will bridge the gender gap, an action that is a call for the leadership of the National Assembly to embrace the stance for a woman of competence and experience.
In almost about 90 positions of this country, the men have dominated it. Ceding this one position to me will be a way of proving that we are running an inclusive government. I use this opportunity to call on my co-contestants – my male contestants to consider the love and the care Nigerian voters have shown to them, and as a matter of honour, step down to support this woman,” she stated.
READ ALSO: 10th NASS: “I’m interested in Senate Presidency but…” – Senator Sani Musa
According to the her, President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu is “a he-for-she who has always empowered women in all spheres of life, having picked a woman as his running mate as the Governor of Lagos State and also supported his amiable wife to become a Senator in the parliament in line with the goals of the UN’S 35% affirmative action for women.
To this effect, my election as the Speaker, House of Representatives will therefore afford Nigeria the rare opportunity of killing the two ubiquitous birds of gender balancing and youth inclusiveness in its political/leadership landscape, with one stone.
Truthfully, I Princess Miriam amply represents the twin engine essence of Nigeria’s youth and female status quo whom the circumstances of our political exigencies have made an endangered and vulnerable specie.”

Rep. Onuoha, who is the House Committee Chairperson on Disability, also emphasised the issue of regional spread in the appointment and selection of leaders in positions of authority for the interest of national unity.
“Again the issues of regional balancing in the nation’s leadership equation is also another veritable national challenge that my election to the speakership of the House of Representatives will address and resolve simultaneously in the interest of national unity, peace and inclusion,” she stressed.
Other lawmakers jostling for the seat of the Speakership of the 10th House include incumbent Deputy Speaker; Ahmed Idris Wase, Yusuf Gagdi (APC, Plateau), Benjamin Kalu (APC, Abia); Aminu Jaji (APC, Zamfara); Makki Yalleman (APC-Jigawa), Tajudeen Abass (Kaduna); Sada Soli (APC, Katsina), Muktar Betara (APC, Borno), Abdulraheem Olawuyi (APC, Kwara).

Martin Luther king Jr., “Letter from Birmingham Jail”
i) Argument about “Justice and injustice”
ii) Religious appeals in King’s latter
iii) Paragraph fourteen of King’s latter
The pressure of racial segregation was reaching a boiling point in 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama. After being arrested for his part in the Birmingham Campaign, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote an open letter in response to “A Call for Unity”, written by eight white clergymen from Birmingham. King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is a true call for unity, as he clearly states and points out facts that the clergymen have omitted from their letter. King is clearly not looking to stoke the fire of segregation; he was merely looking to solve the situation at hand and trying to peacefully end racial segregation in the United States. “A Call for Unity”, written in early April 1963 (Jonathan, 12-18).
After years of segregation and inequality, one man stood up and fought for what was right. This man spoke of dreams and for what he felt as morally right, ethically right, lawfully right and emotionally right. This man spoke of freedom, brotherhood and equality among all people, no matter what race they were. He brought forth facts and emotions to America that was being felt by the black community, which was being treated so badly. This man was Martin Luther King Jr., a clergyman and civil rights leader, who later was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. King opened the eyes of America to a broader sense of understanding, to a wider view of the inequality and hate that almost every black person had to live through at that time. After several peaceful protests King was arrested for demonstrating in defiance of a court order, by participating in a parade, he was then taken to Birmingham jail (Leff & Utley, 8-9). There in the jail, King wrote a letter to 8 fellow clergymen in response to a letter they published in a newspaper. King explained in the letter why he did the things he did, and why that had to be done the way that they were. King’s “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” was written on April 16, 1963. Eight Alabama clergyman wrote an open letter that questioned King’s methods and suggested that he use the court system as a means for change. King’s letter was a reply that was meant to respond to the clergymen and spread his beliefs (KaaVonia, 10-15). In his letter, he responds to some of his criticisms, such as his demonstrations, direct action, and his timing. He, then, explains his motives for acting, and why they were justified.
Argument about “Justice and injustice”
His attitude in the letter changes, at the beginning he is submissive to the clergy’s criticism; at the end he begins to criticize the clergy. This letter was symbolic of a movement, and all the injustices it faced. King uses rhetoric by manipulating language and appealing to the emotions of the reader. In Martin Luther King Jr’s “A Letter from Birmingham Jail” addresses eight white clergymen from Birmingham, Alabama, clearly states eight arguments. King uses epigrams as a device to make sure the reader still comprehends his message. In the beginning paragraphs, King states what brought him to Birmingham and why he is justified in being there. In his argument he alludes to Apostle Paul, and provides dull factual operational information about the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Even if the reader does not know who Paul is or care about the SCLC, he can still understand King’s message because of the epigrams he uses (Baldwin & Burrow, 111-118). In summing up what brought him here King says, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. In answering why he is justified in being in Birmingham, King says, “Anyone who lives in the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in the...

A substance that turned a Brisbane creek blue has been identified as industrial detergent.
Queensland’s environment department has now set about trying to determine how the liquid was able to contaminate the Eagle Farm waterway.
A member of the public first reported the discovery on November 27.
Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
“Officers attended the scene and were confronted by the strong blue colouration of the waterway, which indicated a contaminant release,” the department said at the time.
“Officers also noticed a number of dead fish.”
It prompted a public appeal by the department.
On Thursday, it said it had received “a number of reports” and, based on those reports, “was able to identify the pollutant as an industrial detergent”.
“The events that led to the pollutant being released to the environment” are still under investigation, the department said.
Environmental officers have reported the creek returning to its normal colour and “noticed live fish in the creek, which indicates a healthy environment”.
Members of public with information about the pollution event are urged to come forward.

Release Date: October 3, 2017
Betaball: How Silicon Valley and Science Built One of the Greatest Basketball Teams in History is a decent chronicle of the Golden State Warriors' recent run of success, though I was disappointed by its light treatment of the "how" in its subtitle. The reader doesn't gain much insight into how the team utilized cutting-edge analytics and technological platforms to forge its success, with the book instead focusing largely on season-by-season recaps with little additional analysis. At its worst it reads like a digest of game recaps with details the average Warriors fan is likely already familiar with. There are a few compelling passages when author Erik Malinowski covers some of the innovations and strategies leveraged by the Warriors' players and front office, but I can't recommend the book too strongly to the casual NBA fan. Warrior fans should get some enjoyment out of Betaball, though they should be forewarned that there may not be a ton of new material for them.
The book does start out strongly, outlining the storied history of the Warriors and how former owner Chris Cohan helped drive the team deep into the Western Conference doldrums, at one point going 19 seasons without reaching the playoffs. There are also detailed profiles of major actors in the team's turnaround, such as new owner Joe Lacob, a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist who attempted to apply his business philosophies to running the Warriors. The Warriors have their fair share of quirky and engaging characters, and when Malinowski describes how Lacob built his front office or covers coach Steve Kerr's cosmopolitan childhood Betaball at times feels like Michael Lewis' book chronicling another Bay Area professional sports franchise looking to gain competitive advantages through unorthodox means. Malinowski is the lead writer for the Warriors on Bleacher Report and has been published in Wired and Rolling Stone. He clearly has a lot of passion for his subject and to his credit the book is well-researched and comprehensive. There are brief mentions of how Lacob tried to change the company's culture and emphasize analytics and apply the business principles that served him so well in the VC world to basketball.
From time to time Malinowski will mention advanced new technologies utilized by the Warriors, though he is frustratingly light on details or analysis. The Warriors were early adopters of player-tracking software such as SportVU, developed proprietary performance metrics, and even tracked player psychographics to help manage cultural fits and personalities. They even gave Kevin Durant virtual reality goggles to simulate the experience of walking out onto the Oracle Arena as a Warrior when they were recruiting him, and while the technology fritzed out during their meeting it seems that it didn't turn off KD from the team. As someone who is fascinated by such technologies, I wish Malinowski spent more time outlining how the Warriors employed such tools. I understand that team officials might be tight-lipped about such matters, but Malinowski could try to reach out to the founders of such platforms and tools to speak in broad terms about how their stuff works (readers interested in learning more about such things should check out Brandon Sneed's Head in the Game, which features many company founders more than happy to tout their products). Many of the "season recap" books can quickly descend into monotony and read like box scores tied together with a tiny bit of prose, and Betaball succumbs to this at times. The Warriors' unorthodox approach to running a team offered Malinowski a compelling angle to enliven the rather staid recap genre and I feel like he could have done more with it.
The bulk of Betaball is season-by-season reviews of the Warriors' campaigns, beginning with Steph Curry's rookie season in 2009-2010. Malinowski highlights notable games and off-court happenings and draws heavily from primary sources. To my knowledge Malinowski didn't conduct any additional interviews for the book, so what you get is basically a series of game recaps without much additional insight. As someone who likes basketball but is not a Warriors fan, this format grew tiresome as I became bored by Malinowski reciting Curry's shooting performances, describing a few key plays, and noting controversial/incendiary/insightful comments uttered in press conferences. The book covers the 2009-2010 season through the 2015-2016 season (with a brief epilogue covering the Warriors' Finals win in 2017) and there is no real suspense or tension for any reader who paid one iota of attention to general basketball happenings over the last few years. Will the Warriors break the record for best regular season record? Will the Warriors blow their 3-1 Finals lead to the Cavs? Will Kevin Durant come to Oakland? Spoiler Alert: Yes, Yes, Yes. I realize that society's collective memory and attention span seems to get shorter and shorter, but the average reader is probably well aware what went down in the 2016 NBA Finals, and rehashing events without much additional analysis isn't going to be all that engaging.
While parts of this review can be rightly interpreted as harsh, Beta Ball is a fine entry in the "season recap" genre. My disappointment is a result of Malinowski devoting too many pages to the "what" (the Warriors winning a lot) and not enough to the "how" that helped them turn around the franchise. If you're a fan of the team you will probably enjoy rekindling these largely positive memories, but average fans may be left wanting more.

The Financial System Inquiry final report has recommended extending the definition of “conflicted remuneration” and making changes to the life insurance remuneration models open to advisers.
In an effort to “better align the interests of financial firms with those of consumers”, the FSI final report has waded into the controversial debate around life insurance commissions, recommending changes to the remuneration status quo.The report recommends the government legislate to prevent financial advisers from receiving upfront commissions on life insurance products that are greater than ongoing commissions, thereby seeking to reduce “incentives for churning” and improve quality of advice.“In light of recent evidence, the inquiry is concerned about high upfront commissions for life insurance advisers,” the report states. “This has been a longstanding industry practice reflecting that life insurance has higher arranging costs, such as managing the underwriting process, and that consumers are often not independently motivated to purchase life insurance.”Referencing ASIC’s damning review of the risk advice sector, the report says that “to date” industry approaches to self-regulate the industry have “not worked”, leading the FSI committee to conclude changes are necessary.“The inquiry recommends a level commission structure implemented through legislation,” the report concludes. “This would provide a balanced and cost-effective approach to better align the interests of advisers and consumers. “The remuneration model needs to be sustainable; otherwise there is a risk that providers may exit the market, making it more difficult for consumers to obtain life insurance advice.”However, it adds that “at this stage, the inquiry does not recommend removing all commissions” and that the percentage amount of the level commission is a matter for the industry to decide.It also urges the government to heed the findings of the AFA-FSC working group on life insurance.

SHE’S THE ONE ???
Steve was so annoyed he had to go back to the house because his mom has been disturbing him with call to come back home.
He entered their house only to see his father sitting with his friend Mr Adams.
He ignored them and wanted to proceed to his room.
“How dare you son?
“Are you blind? Can’t you see this visitor? Mr Williams said angrily and stood up.
Steve stopped in his track and turned back. That was when he discovered that Jenifer was there too and he knew the reason why they are there.
He turned back and looked at his father eye ball to eye ball.
“Dad, the day I lost my sense was the day you forced me to make a wrong decision ”
“What’s this nonsense all about? he said and gave Steve a very hot and sound slap on the cheek which made him to hold his cheeks in pain.
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that, even in your next life” Mr Williams said angrily
“Calm down, it’s OK I think I have to take my leave now “Mr Adams stood up and with Jennifer.
“Sorry for the embarrassment, but please allow your daughter to stay for a while before she leaves.
“Fine I’ve heard you “Mr Adams said and left.
Steve stormed into his room angrily without looking back.
Arrow was sitting in the parlour when his boss called.
“Go and get me that girl “the leader said
“OK boss “he bowed and left. On getting to the door where Bella was, he pushed the door but the door didn’t open.
He twisted the door knob trying to open but the door didn’t open.
Arrow rushed to inform the boss because the door was usually kept opened.
“Boss, the door is locked from inside and there’s no response from inside.
They immediately left and started banging the door but still no response.
“Break the door” he commanded.
Arrow kicked the door until it broke down. To their greatest surprise there was a big hole in the house made by Bella.
They looked at the hole without seeing Bella again.
“Search for her now! if she escapes then know that your life is at stake “he commanded.
Bella has been running for long now, she stopped at her track and took some rest without any sign of house or car.
That was when she discovered that the house was built in the forest.
She took some rest near a tree with the kitchen knife still in her hand.
She was still resting when she heard distance noise and rattling of leaves.
That was Arrow and his team, they were getting closer. She thought of what next to do.
Her heart began racing so fast thinking of what to do.
She took time and crawled down, then took some dry leaves and cover herself without any trace left.
Arrow finally arrived at the spot and searched everywhere including the tree she hid but she was not there.
“What are we going to do now?
“Steve father will surely kill us “Arrow said
Bella gasp hearing that it was Steve father that wants her kidnapped.
“Let’s start searching for that poor b!tch” Scorpion said and they began their search.
That was when they saw the scattered leaves on the ground.
“Arrow look at this” Scorpion said pointing to where Bella is hiding. Her heart beat increased from normal to high.
“Let’s go nothing is there, nobody can hide there “Arrow said
“But Arrow let’s search first”
“Nobody is there let’s go” he said and lead the way.
As Bella was hiding a scorpion crawled on her body and she was scared in the process of that, the leaves made noise and Scorpion turned back and saw her legs hidden there.
“Arrow there she is. I told you “he said and ran to the spot.
He scattered the leaves and there was Bella hiding.
“You can run but you can’t hide” he said and forcefully grabbed her on the neck and hit her.
The way Scorpion handled Bella Arrow didn’t like it and it even reflected in his eyes.
“Take it easy on her man” Arrow said
“Next time don’t even try this trash again” Scorpion said and pushed her forward followed by others.
Bella knew that her only hope to escape has been ruined and there no where again she can escaped.
Just as she was thinking, she recalled that Arrow is crushing on her and she has been noticing.
She smiled and continue walking.
Steve was so angry that he couldn’t find Bella.
He refused to eat nor talk to anyone in the house. He locked himself in his room for two days without coming out still working on how to get Bella.
“She’s the one that makes me feel the way I haven’t felt for years.
“She’s my happiness and my life
“I love her with the whole of my life.
“Bella don’t worry I love you and I’m coming for you” Steve said and stood up heading to the door.

Plot with full planning in a central village position.
Sat up away from the road the current properties enjoy a prominent central position within the village. There are views across the green to the front of the properties along with grazing fields bordering the rear of the plot, creating a delightful position for family homes. This site has detailed planning consent (DC_22_0117_FUL) for the demolition of the existing pair of semi-detached cottages.
This is to be replaced with two detached new houses of vernacular style each accessed via separate drives which are shared with one other property.
Unit one is designed to be approximately 1620 sq ft with three first floor bedrooms. Unit two is the larger of the units and occupies the rear of the site away from the road frontage and this is a three/four bedroom unit of approximately 1680 sq ft. The site is sure to appeal with smaller builders/developers.
The properties themselves have been sympathetically designed to fit well into the surrounding Conservation Area and would be desirable from both a sale and letting perspective, following the completion of the building works.
A very exciting development opportunity within the popular and attractive village of Thurlow.Ben SmithProperty agent

Objectives: To examine neuropsychological test performance among individuals clinically diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) without evidence of dopaminergic deficiency on I-CIT single photon emission computed tomography imaging. Methods: Data were obtained from the Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative. The sample included 59 participants with scans without evidence of dopaminergic deficiency (SWEDD), 412 with PD, and 114 healthy controls (HC). Tests included Judgment of Line Orientation, Letter-Number Sequencing, Symbol Digit Modalities, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised, and Letter and Category Fluency. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to compare standardized scores between the groups. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in performances between the groups, F(14,1155)=5.04; p<.001; partial η2=.058. Pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences in Category Fluency between SWEDD (M=0.22; SD=1.08) and HC (M=0.86; SD=1.15) and in Symbol Digit Modalities Test performance between SWEDD (M=45.09; SD=11.54) and HC (M=51.75; SD=9.79). No significant differences between SWEDD and PD were found. Using established criteria, approximately one in four participants in the SWEDD and PD groups met criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Conclusions: Individuals with SWEDD demonstrate significantly worse mental processing speed and semantic fluency than HC. The neuropsychological test performances and rates of MCI were similar between the SWEDD group and PD groups, which may reflect a common pathology outside of the nigrostriatal pathway.

Clinging to a rock face like it was a garden fence, fearless Millie conquers another summit.
The intrepid cat often joins her owner Craig Armstrong, a keen climber, up mountains and on treks through desert valleys.
Mr Armstrong said: ‘I just knew one day I would I would get a pet and when I did I would take it everywhere with me.
‘Millie is perfect – she’s a natural in the mountains.’
He rescued her from an animal shelter before she was due to be put down last year and they have been hitting the trails around Utah in the US since.
When they are roaming through valleys or across plains, Millie wanders harness free.
If they are heading for a steep peak, the cat gets her own harness and is attached to Mr Armstrong with metal loops and ropes.
But Millie almost lost one of her nine lives on her biggest ascent – the 305m (1,000ft) Thousands of Fun climb – when her tail got caught in some abseiling equipment and she lost a tuft of hair.
‘There have been times when she’s fallen and I’ve had to catch her but now she just loves climbing so much I can’t stop her,’ Mr Armstrong said. ‘She has all the qualities a good climbing partner should have. She never complains, no matter how bad it gets.’
