To sum up, digital inclusion seems to be the most essential ingredient that is expected to change fundamentally prison & release education and bring up social thriving.
If digital inclusion strategy is not prioritized as a fundamental part of rehabilitation processes, the digital divide will be expanded and it will carry away both the social stigma of the former prisoners, as well as their low employability rate.
Digital inclusion will bring up:
Readiness for employment
Easier access to the welfare system
Social reintegration and connectivity
Lifelong learning opportunities
Familiarization with digital services (e-health, IBAN, etc.)

Neil Peart to Be Honored With Tribute in His Hometown
Organizers will bring together musicians, speakers and production professionals to pay tribute to Peart, who died on Jan. 7. A full list of participants will be announced in the future. The night will benefit Overtime Angels, St. Catharines Hospital and Walker Cancer Centre, the Juravinski Hospital & Cancer Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, and the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario.
“The event will honor 'The Professor' of words, lyricism and musicianship from a fan’s perspective," Lance Kasten of Overtime Angels said in a press release. "The outpouring of support for this event from across the globe has been tremendous.” “We are grateful for the team that Overtime Angels is assembling," Peart's parents, Glen and Betty Peart, added. "We are especially pleased to be able to support this charity event that will benefit some much-needed organizations that are close to our hearts.”
Inspired by Rush's philanthropic efforts, Overtime Angels was founded in 2014 to provide financial assistance to those in crisis who don't meet the criteria established by social-service agencies. You can learn more about its work at its website.
A petition began circulating online last month to memorialize Peart in St. Catharines' Lakeside Park, the subject of a 1975 Rush song. After receiving more than 25,000 signatures, the creator of the petition revealed that the mayor will put forward a motion to name the pavilion at the park in the late drummer's honor, as well as create "some other sort of tangible memorial."

In Haltern am See in Germany, a sensational find was discovered in the burial ground of the former Roman camp and has now been carefully restored.

During the excavation campaign of the Westphalia-Lippe Landscape Association (LWL) on the burial ground of the former Haltern Roman camp, the 19-year-old intern Nico Calmund made a sensational find in April 2019: a dagger including sheath and belt remnants of a Roman legionnaire.
The iron dagger was heavily corroded when it was found – a case for fiber optic restorer Eugen Müsch, who, after the first computer tomographic examinations, spent nine months carefully removing the corrosion layers.

A double-edged puglio (the usual secondary weapon of the Roman legionnaire) emerged, the handle and scabbard of which are adorned with complex designs made of sheet iron in the form of half-moons, diamonds and leaves. In addition, there are fine wires and sheets made of silver and brass, as well as inserts of red enamel and glass.

“Of course, we cannot make a 2,000-year-old object appear as new. However, the black, silver, red and gold colors largely correspond to the former look,” explains Eugen Müsch.

The Haltern Roman Camp was one of several military camps that the Romans built along the Lippe River around the time of Christ’s birth in order to invade free Germania. This plan came to a standstill a few years after the Varus battle (AD 9). The warehouse in Haltern was also abandoned.
The camp, which consisted of several areas, was rediscovered in 1816. Archaeological excavations have been carried out since 1899. The dagger was discovered on this camp’s burial ground. Romans burned their dead and buried them in urns covered by a mound of earth.
The dagger was not found in the urn itself, but in the mound. “This site is very unusual for a classic grave addition,” comments LWL Roman expert Dr. Bettina Tremmel.

But it is not only the place of discovery that is of great interest. “The combination of the fully preserved blade, scabbard and weir belt, including the important information about the exact location, has not been compared so far,” says LWL chief archaeologist Prof. Dr. Michael Rind. So far, no such find has been found in such a good state of conservation in Europe.
The sensational find is to be exhibited at the LWL Roman Museum in Haltern am See in March 2022 as part of the archaeological exhibition of North Rhine-Westphalia in Rome .

Need for dialogue to solve Kashmir issue: UN chief
United Nations: In the wake of tensions in Kashmir following the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, UN chief Ban Ki-moon is closely following the situation in the region and stresses on the need for dialogue to help to overcome difficulties, his spokesperson said here.
"The Secretary-General is obviously following developments quite closely. And we would simply reiterate the call for the need for dialogue to help to overcome the difficulties that there are," Ban`s spokesperson Martin Nesirky told reporters at the daily briefing yesterday.
Nesirky was responding to a question on developments in Kashmir, where curfew has been imposed and three persons have been killed and several injured in clashes between protesters and law enforcement agencies following the hanging of Guru.
Nesirky said he did not have any specific comment on the execution of Guru.
When asked that there is a "humanitarian aspect" to the hanging of Guru since his body has not been given to his family, Nesirky said, "I don’t have any comment on that."
Guru was hanged in New Delhi`s Tihar jail on February 9 after his mercy plea was rejected by the President.

Park robotics team ready to compete at state
The Park High School robotics team is gunning for another state championship this Saturday.
Team 3883 Data Bits will compete against 30 other school-built ‘bots at the Minnesota State High School League’s State Robotics Tournament at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. They won the inaugural state championship in 2012.
“I want to be surprised about what’s going to happen,” said team member and Park senior Michael Nguyen, 17, of Cottage Grove. “It’s not a nervous kind of feeling but an excited kind of feeling.”
Nguyen, who said he plans to major in mechanical engineering in college, said there’s a lot of camaraderie and teamwork that went into building their robot, which they dubbed Sonic Hedge-Bot.
“The teammates are very open,” he said. “My first day joining, everyone was going ballistic in a happy kind of way. They’re not afraid to show who they are. The mentors and teachers, they’re very welcoming. “
Sonic Hedge-Bot doesn’t fit the popular conception of a robot. It looks more like the offspring of a catapult and a shopping cart. Sonic was designed and constructed by students during a league-mandated six-week “build period” that began in January.
The team has about a dozen adult mentors, including coach and lead mentor James Huber, of Cottage Grove.
“Our mentors, they do such a wonderful job with the kids,” said Mike Simurdiak, a chemistry teacher at Park and a robotics team advisor.
Once the six-week building period expired on Feb. 18, league rules dictated that the team bag the robot and put it in storage. Last Saturday, they were given a maximum six “unbagged hours” to adjust or make minor modifications, Simurdiak said.Then it was back in the bag. They won’t be able to unbag Sonic until Saturday’s tournament begins.
“We can’t touch it,” Simurdiak said.
During Saturday’s state tournament, Team 3883 Data Bits will compete in a series of matches, each pitting one three-team alliance of robots against another.
They qualified for state in March at the the Lake Superior Regionals in Duluth.

Even though the designs of washers vary widely, there are some features that are common to all machines. For example, all washers have an electric motor. Also, all washers have both agitate and spin cycle. Since both these cycles are driven by the electric motor, all washers use some kind of a mechanism to operate these cycles. Washer machines also have a way of filling the washtub with water and draining out used water. For all these mechanisms to operate, the device must be in perfect condition. If there is a problem in one of the components, the unit may not work efficiently or worse, may stop working all together. Here are some washing machine common problems you may face.
Some of the possible causes of this problem include:
- The laundry unit not being plugged in
- The plug is damaged
- The door is damaged or not closed properly
- Problem with the socket or wires
- Or you have selected the program the wrong way.

Make sure you check these possible problem areas before calling a washing machine repairman. When a washer repair technician visit your home, they will identify the cause of the problems and will carry out the necessary repairs.
If the drum of the machine does not rotate during the wash cycle, it could be due to a damaged drive belt.

When you give us a call, a qualified washer repairman will call you in a few hours to schedule an appointment.

CTIA will no longer run two annual trade shows from 2014-- the CTIA Show and MobileCON will be converged into the CTIA Super Mobility Show, to take place 9-11 September 2014 at Las Vegas.
"The wireless industry is evolving rapidly and there is a need to have a show that centers on the entire global mobile ecosystem in a way that hasn’t existed among the current shows," CTIA VP and show director Rob Mesirow says. "The timing of the 2014 show will deliver the perfect stage for companies to debut mobile consumer products and services for the annual holiday buying season."
The association already pushed back the dates of CTIA Wireless from March to May on 2012, probably due to the growth of Barcelona's Mobile World Congress.
In addition, CTIA is teaming up with IFA to create what it calls "the world's first 'borderless' trade show in 2014" with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) by the two organisations.
IFA 2014 will take place during 5-10 September, Berlin, creating what CTIA calls "Super Mobility Week."
“Mobility and wireless connectivity are the future of the CE and home appliances on display at IFA. Additionally, we will shorten the distance for US retailers, consumers and media to the global product launches that take place at IFA in time for the holiday retails season,” IFA director Jens Heithecker says. “The two events will create a transatlantic alliance that connects attendees, exhibitors, media, keynotes and speakers.”

By Tempeste Barjavel. Cake. Published at Monday, September 02nd, 2019 - 07:43:48 AM.
How many cake pieces do I need? All you need is this formula: # of Guests – 10 = Number of Pieces needed. Are wedding cakes coordinated with the reception flowers and other decorations? You bet they are. In fact, wedding cakes are often the centerpiece of the décor for many weddings. Your baker will be familiar with his/her role as it relates to dressing up the cake for the wedding. But you should always discuss specifically what the baker will do upon delivering the cake. Sometimes the florist decorates the cake, but many bakers are happy to use the flowers that are being used for your wedding. But that means the florist needs to set aside some flowers to be used as cake decorations, and that means the flowers need to be delivered before the cake is delivered. See how that all ties together? Keep in mind too that when using fresh flowers as cake decorations, be sure that none of them have been sprayed with pesticides or other inedible chemicals.
Are they expensive? Yeah. They’re a lot of dough! Sorry. Couldn’t help it. On average, Americans spend $575 on their wedding cakes and average around $3 per slice. Why do some wedding cakes taste really bad? Are they frozen or baked fresh? Ever been to a really great wedding, eaten a delicious meal, and had it topped off with a something that tasted like styrofoam wrapped in stale butter? Chances are good that the cake you ate was baked the night (or two) before and frozen until ready for serving. Not all frozen cakes are bad. They are baked to be frozen, and most good bakers know how to bake in a way to preserve the moistness and flavor you expect (and pay a fortune for).
The serving of carrot cake may be either plain, with glazed or topped with white icing. It can also be served topped with cream cheese icing and chopped walnuts. A carrot cake with cream cheese icing is listed as number five on the top five fad foods of the 1970s according to the American-based Food Network in 2005. And carrot cakes are available in different forms such as sheet cake, cupcake, and loaf form. They are popular in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
The added sweetness, fruits, minced cakes are from the ”Bride’s Pie” which became the norm in 19th century England. Sometimes that pie was even made from mutton, especially if the family was not of the elite or royal lineage, with wealth to have the sweet meats. By the late 19th century, the bride’s pie was out and single tiered plum cakes were the norm or trend of the day. It was not until much later when guest lists expanded that cake or wedding cake, earlier called the ”Bride’s Cake”, that layering started to become trendy. Initially the layers were just mock-ups, much like the mock or fake cakes of today in which it was all either hardened sugar or hardened frosting on the top layers. As you know the use of the fake cake is for pictures now and the first cut. Nowadays the fake cake after the first cut and pictures is taken to the kitchen or back room while the cuttings for the guests are taken from a sheet cake of the same frosting design. This is both for convenience and to keep the cost of the wedding cake down to a minimum.

Overweight doctors and nurses will be told to lose weight under new plans from the NHS Chief Executive, Simon Stevens.
The health chief wants to see staff lead by example as he tries to plug a £30 billion black hole in the NHS budget.
Obesity is putting huge pressure on the health service and 47-year-old Mr Stevens plans to target 300,000 workers who are severely overweight.
The plans are parter of wider plans to slim down NHS costings, which include health bosses to taking standard seats on public transport rather than using first class.

Do you have any memories of your mom baking or cooking something? Memories so clear it’s like they happened yesterday? One of my many memories with my mother, include these muffins. For a few reasons…
When my mom started making these muffins, I fell in love with powdered dry milk. Is that weird? Dairy purists everywhere are gasping, I’m sure. Anyway. To this day, I still keep dry milk in my cupboard just in case I run out or need milk STAT. I love dry milk.
Second thing about these muffins I remember: we made them so often that the wooden spoon I grew up stiring things with (and, in fact, still use in my own kitchen today) started to turn orange from all the carrots!! Ha!
In case you don’t live in DC…it snowed. All. Day. Saturday. Something about a snow day like that just makes you want to cuddle up on the couch with a blanket and a book and maybe some cider or hot cocoa. Doesn’t it? Or maybe if The BF happens to be in town you get a request to curl up with a big, thick bowl of beef stew! And as my Twitter buddy @jeffdonald pointed out, *flexes muscles* only amateurs stock up on TP and milk during a snow storm, pros stock up on stew ingredients.
I’m a regular reader of The Kitchn, a cooking and, uhm, kitchen, blog. And last week they had a really lovely post about how to make beef stew…breaking it down into totally understandable, basic steps. I don’t know about you but I always feel a little safer when I understand why and how each step is carried out in a recipe. (The exception being baking, because I still don’t understand what baking soda vs. baking powder does.)
Let me add a few notes here before we get to the recipe. This is one of those dishes you make when you have time. Like, a whole day. Not because it’s necessarily going to take a whole day, but because it’s soothing to methodically take on the recipe one step at a time. Sear the beef. Saute the veggies. Measure and add the liquids. Let it sit for delicious hour after hour. Each step only takes a few minutes, but tending to it makes you feel like you’re adding layers of flavor to a tiny stew baby that you’re going to serve to people you love.
The BF likes meat and potatoes. If it comes from a cow and is a brown root vegetable, he’ll eat it and love it. So last weekend (Sunday to be exact) in a one-two punch to my New Year’s resolutions I took on mastering meat and rocking the crock pot and slow cooked a pot roast. I chose popovers as a side because I’d been thinking about BLT Steak’s popovers which…are…um, how do I say, other-worldly?!
First step to tackling new recipes: get all the appropriate hardware. I didn’t have a popover pan (and in retrospect probably didn’t need one but I wasn’t about to use a muffin pan for my first popover experiment, duuhhh!) and so the hunt began. I first visited Coffee and The Works which is my go-to, in-my-hood, last-minute, looking-for-odd-ball cooking-related needs (giant pizza spatula, anyone?!)and!…they were out of popover pans. Okay, okay fine. Bed Bath and Beyond will have one right?! No. Okay at that point I felt like I was destined to NOT make popovers, but I pressed on. Hills Kitchen!! Success! Not only did they have a popover pan…they had TWO KINDS!! So I bought the one that looked like the pans BLT Steak uses (cause I’m a copy-cat like that).

Is Canada anything besides not-America? In the weeks surrounding the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, which took place on July 1, op-eds in the American media engaged in the semiregular ritual of defining Canadian identity. Stephen Marche, a Toronto-based writer for the New York Times, delivered a pitch-perfect rendition of Canadian patriotism in his report on the sesquicentennial, writing that "Canada, at the moment, has a lot to celebrate." Canada is bilingual; Canada celebrates multiculturalism; Canada is not brash like the United States; Canada's Prime Minister is not Donald Trump but instead a "glamorous and internationally recognized . . . celebrity of progressive politics." But the outpouring of patriotic sentiment that one would anticipate from a major national birthday was absent—and this was a triumph. For Marche, as for countless other proponents of the national non-identity, "Canada’s reluctance to celebrate itself is actually something worth celebrating. . . . Patriotism is for losers."
With Marche expressing the virtue of negative patriotism (Canada is less clearly evil than other Western countries), another Times columnist, writing a few days later, offered a more calculated, positive account of Canada’s soft patriotism, positioning the country as an object lesson in how to craft bulwarks against xenophobic nationalism. Canada, Amanda Taub argued, had not fallen victim to the mainstreaming of white-nationalist movements across Europe and the U.S., because of a series of strategic political and legislative actions, starting with Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s announcement of a national policy of multiculturalism in 1971.
Trudeau’s declaration came at the end of a years-long commission on the issues of bilingualism and biculturalism, and, while primarily symbolic, included a framework for fostering minority cultural initiatives and access to French- and English-language programs for immigrants. Speaking in the House of Commons, Trudeau said, "Although there are two official languages, there is no official culture, nor does any ethnic group take precedence over any other." The speech, made just a year after the FLQ, a Quebecois separatist organization, kidnapped and murdered an Anglo politician in Montreal, sought to dampen domestic cultural tensions by acknowledging the simple fact that Canadian "culture" had neither a single nor a double face. Instead, it had many, any of which could be superimposed on top of the white settler base. Parliament assented to the policy directive, and, eleven years later, with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canada became the first country in the world to enshrine multiculturalism in law as a guiding constitutional principle.
Placing multiculturalism in constitutional legal text refigured the image of the settler state. Trudeau’s declaration came four years after an overhaul of Canadian immigration law that, in 1967, eliminated a patchwork of discriminatory race and nationality restrictions in favor of a skills-based point system to assess and admit migrants. Larger influxes of nonwhite immigrants moved to Canada, and the patriotic national myth transitioned from that of a settler nation to that of a multicultural nation of immigrants. In a telling passage in Taub’s Times article, she quotes immigration minister Ahmed Hussen, himself a former refugee, who cites the "luck of geography" as a significant factor in widespread support for immigration and multiculturalism. (A 2010 poll indicated that roughly two-thirds of Canadians say that immigration levels are "about right.") "We have the luxury," Hussen says, "of being surrounded by oceans on three sides, and then by the U.S. border." The implication is both obvious and impossible to overstate: Distance from the migrant-producing Global South gives the Canadian public a sense of confidence and trust in the regularity of incoming migrants—and affords the Canadian government a level of control only dreamed of by the more publicly violent border regimes of Europe and the United States.
The first Canadian immigration laws were concerned with the twin nation-building goals of promoting settlement and managing undesirable would-be settlers. The first cabinet position that dealt with immigration was the Minister of the Interior, whose portfolio married federal land management, Indian affairs, and natural-resource extraction. (The office was succeeded by the more aptly named Minister of Immigration and Colonization.) Much of the early law dealt with facilitating the passage of European migrants to and through Eastern seaports. Legislation and debates around exclusions—which included "paupers" and disabled people without family members—were focused on the maintenance of a steady influx of settlers to inhabit and farm the thinly populated Prairie Provinces. The country, put simply, needed immigrants to continue colonizing.
In 1885, when Parliament passed the Chinese Immigration Act, the first large-scale restrictive immigration legislation in Canada, the racist measure was discussed as a matter of political sovereignty. Chinese immigrants were a threat because they could elect—or become—Chinese officials, warned Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, and bring "immorality" and "eccentricities" "abhorrent to the Aryan race and Aryan principles . . . upon this House." Decades later, with the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, this claim to sovereign control over the racial makeup of Canada was extended inland. The law—which effectively eliminated the arrival of Chinese people into Canada for over twenty years—required those of Chinese descent, even if born in Canada, to register with the government to prove their compliance with the new restrictions. The desirable Canadian settler—white, hardworking, unlikely to become a charge of the state—was separated from the suspicious, policed, racialized immigrant both at and within the border.
The vision of the impenetrable nation and its sovereign right to self-composition also extended beyond Canada’s territorial limits. In the 1910s, while eminent xenophobe Frank Oliver was Minister of the Interior, and in the context of significant pressure from white citizens’ groups calling for a ban on Black migration, Canadian immigration officials campaigned to dissuade Black American farmers from migrating north to Canada. Agents stationed in Oklahoma responded to requests for information by prospective Black immigrants with letters detailing the poor conditions of life for Black people north of the border. They paid Black community leaders to disseminate misinformation about maltreatment during border inspections, and refused to provide Black people with the appropriate certification required to enter Canada by rail as "bona fide" farmers. These measures were intended to prevent immigration before it happened—to limit the contact that undesirable immigrants could have with the border.
The early international enforcement of border security was a cooperative project. An agreement between the U.S. government and several Canadian transportation companies allowed the U.S. to extend its immigration laws and enforcement capacity to Canadian seaports. U.S. immigration officials were stationed at Canadian ports, and signatory companies were required to refuse landing for immigrants headed to the United States if their documentation was insufficient or they were found to be inadmissible under U.S. law. Responding to the restrictions, immigrants crossing through Canada en route to the U.S. began marking Canada as their final destination and then moving to the U.S. later on. If someone who took this route was later found by authorities in the United States—in prison, almshouses, or hospitals—they would be deported back to the company that had landed them in Canada, at the company’s cost. The agreement introduced a large-scale information-sharing program, with U.S. officials at the border equipped with ship manifests to cross-check non-Canadians attempting entry.
Efforts like these—partnerships forged between national governments to limit the movement of people beyond their own boundaries—were part of the project of self-definition for Canada as an emergent independent white settler state. As the U.S. and Canada encouraged the rise of a global migration system at the turn of the century, they introduced restrictions on the kinds of people allowed to move within it. Canada’s border, as the above examples demonstrate, was continuously redefined by laws and policies that could be enforced within, at, and outside its territorial boundaries.
The narrative that casts Canada’s immigration system as exceptionally welcoming coalesced largely around its leading role in developing refugee-resettlement programs in the latter decades of the 20th century. There are, of course, gaps in that positive narrative—most notably the refusal of the MS St. Louis, which sent hundreds of Jewish refugees back to Europe, where over two hundred were murdered in the Holocaust—which have been incorporated into the story of an intermittently shameful national past. But these more marginal examples of restriction—inland Chinese registration, anti-Black propaganda, cooperation with U.S. immigration enforcement—are indicative of anti-immigrant strategies that police movement beyond the border. The explicitly racist measures necessitated a public disavowal of racist border violence that attended the shift to the race-blind points system, but the strategies of enforcement remain continuous—constitutive of a border regime that, 50 years later, upholds Canada’s lauded commitment to multiculturalism.
In the early 2000s, Canada and the United States developed a shared approach to border security that departs from typical understandings of how the state polices its limits. The centerpiece of their cooperative agreement is the Multiple Borders Strategy, whose driving purpose is succinctly articulated by the Canadian Border Services Agency: "Push the border out."
The strategy both prefigures and enacts a reconceptualization of the border. In a 2003 statement of mutual understanding between the two governments, they write:
Recognizing that moving the focus of control of the movement of people away from our shared land border to overseas . . . enables Canada and the United States to manage more effectively their movement into and within North America. . . . At every checkpoint along the travel continuum . . . there is an opportunity for the Participants to link the person and the document and any known intelligence.
Under this enforcement strategy, the border is understood "not as a geo-political line but rather a continuum of checkpoints." In practice, this means that the function of border control is exported beyond the territorial limits of Canada, with an increasing number of “liaison officers” (formerly called “migration integrity officers”) stationed at an increasing number of locations worldwide, whose stated objective is to "combat irregular migration."
The purview of these officers is incredibly wide, encompassing a range of intelligence-gathering and law enforcement–related activities, and their purpose is to intercept potential migrants before they reach Canadian soil. Data obtained from the CBSA on its liaison officer program and published by the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Law Clinic in 2012 indicates that, between 2001 and 2012, 73,000 people were intercepted by these officers. Extending the border beyond Canadian soil means that, for immigration purposes, the state’s limits are any place worldwide at which one’s identity and intent can be interrogated. Restricting access to the state—and the legal protections it is compelled to give to migrants—begins at or before the point of departure.
In tandem with the 2004 Safe Third Country Agreement—another bilateral initiative between the US and Canada—the Multiple Borders Strategy signals a comprehensive effort to limit the ability of people to move and arrive at Canada’s physical border, where refugee claims can be made. Under the Safe Third Country Agreement, asylum seekers are compelled to claim refugee status in whichever country they first arrive in. A 2010 report jointly issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the CBSA, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, acknowledged that, through the agreement, "Canada sought to limit the significant irregular northbound movement of people from the United States who wished to access the Canadian refugee determination system." Publicly marketed as a "burden sharing" initiative, the STCA effected a precipitous, albeit temporary, drop in the number of asylum claims made at the border. These measures, regardless of their efficacy, are part of an effort for Canada to circumvent its obligation to process asylum claims, which are only triggered when a claimant is processed at the border. "Pushing out the border"—either through international interception programs or the "burden sharing" exportation of asylum-claim processing to the United States—means enacting a roving border wall with no oversight and no ability for migrants to appeal their refusal.
These cooperative control policies produce and protect the understanding of Canada's immigration system as uniquely welcoming. Lacking a racialized land border that the nativist imaginary can cohere around—and at which egregious examples of state repression and neglect take place—Canadians are able to take pride in an immigration system based on a meritocratic points system and internationally praised refugee resettlement efforts. Exporting border violence—both by its own agents and in collaboration with other enforcement regimes—outside of Canada allows the managed order of its immigration system to be read as organically produced, and all immigrants as the recipients of Canadian fairness and benevolence.
Trust in this system has become a bedrock of Canadian public opinion and self-estimation. A 2012 study by political scientists from the University of British Columbia and UC Berkeley demonstrated a positive correlation between patriotism and support for immigration and multiculturalism. (The inverse was true for the United States.) Proud Canadians—who balk at the vicious nativism south of the border—understand immigration and cultural tolerance as part of their national identity. But this broad support, bolstered by domestic and international rhetoric about the good nature of Canadian multicultural society, relies on a bureaucratic chauvinism. This false piety surfaces in paradoxical arguments: Protectionist discussions of immigration in Canadian politics take the form of a defense of the generous spirit that supports it. Jason Kenney, a Conservative politician known for his restrictive immigration stance, was a frequent mouthpiece of this sentiment. In 2010, he invoked the good faith of the Canadian patriot in support of a bill roundly criticized for the restrictions and penalties it could place on asylum seekers, saying that failure to pass more restrictive laws would "put at risk the broad public consensus . . . in favor of immigration and refugee protection." In place of the border wall, a nation's generosity under threat from "line jumpers" and "bogus refugees."
Such contradictory logic is not limited to the Conservative party. The rare immigration-related scandals in Canada display an agreement that cuts across the political spectrum—the most salient subject of immigration debate is how to defend the well-oiled bureaucracy. This summer, a large influx of Haitians crossing the U.S. border into Quebec has brought this rhetoric back into popular circulation. The motive for the crossings has been widely attributed to the Trump administration’s promise of increased deportation enforcement and the suspension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. Critics, who see the crossings as evidence of a system gone awry, have blamed Justin Trudeau for extending a blanket invitation to those fearing violence under the Trump administration. (This "invitation" came in the form of a characteristically anodyne and viral tweet made after Trump's attempted Muslim ban in January: "#WelcomeToCanada," Trudeau wrote.)
That this gesture toward Canada's distinctness from U.S. immigration policy has pushed Trudeau to make increasingly rigid statements about the rule of law is a brittle irony. Echoing Jason Kenney, he said recently, "If we are a country that is open to immigrants . . . it is because Canadians have confidence in the integrity of our immigration and refugee system." This PR campaign of dissuasion has also dispatched members of Parliament to diaspora communities in the US—to Haitians in Florida and, most recently, in anticipation of TPS being revoked for citizens of El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, to Central Americans in Los Angeles. Pablo Rodriguez, an Argentine-born Liberal MP, said, about his trip to LA, that the goal was to communicate that Canada’s immigration system is one that "works, and has to be respected."
The soft patriotic trust in the softly administered border is fully compatible with the logic of restriction. For widespread goodwill towards immigration to take a less trivial effect it would have to divorce itself from the fantasy of total control. Positive rhetoric around immigration and multiculturalism is a salve to the settler state’s ongoing colonial violence, and maintains its foundational exploitative relationship to nonwhiteness. The liberal satisfaction that boasts Toronto’s status as the most multicultural city on Earth is predicated on an immigration system that sees the entire world as a site for the management and prohibition of human movement, and requires its neighbors to do the same. To claim a comparative innocence in an age of violent borders—either through feigned passivity or the posture of active beneficence—is itself a tool of border violence.

Was the Gutenberg Bible in German or Latin?
In 1455, Gutenberg produced what is considered to be the first book ever printed: a Latin language Bible, printed in Mainz, Germany.
Who translated the Gutenberg Bible?
Three 1-hour presentations will be given at 10 am, Noon and 2 pm. Gutenberg chose the Bible as the first product of his marvelous invention of movable type in 1455. Martin Luther was the first to translate the Bible into the vernacular, in his case, German.
Was the Gutenberg Bible in German?
Chief among the booty were two copies of the Gutenberg Bible, which were taken from the German Book and Script Museum and the University of Leipzig.
What is the first Bible ever printed?
The Gutenberg Bible was printed in Mainz in 1455 by Johann Gutenberg and his associates, Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer. Only 48 copies are known to have survived, of which 12 are printed on vellum and 36 on paper. Twenty are complete, two of them at the British Library, one printed on paper (shelfmark C. 9.
What is the most expensive book in the world?
The world record for the most expensive book ever sold is a science book: the Codex Leicester, which is a fancy name for what is essentially Leonardo da Vinci’s science diary. It was purchased in 1994 for $30.8 million ($53.5 million).
What is the most expensive Bible?
The first book to achieve a sale price of greater than $1 million was a copy of the Gutenberg Bible which sold for $2.4 million in 1978. The book that has sold most copies over $1 million is John James Audubon’s The Birds of America (1827–1838), which is represented by eight different copies in this list.
Where is the first Gutenberg Bible?
After centuries in which all copies seem to have remained in Europe, the first Gutenberg Bible reached North America in 1847. It is now in the New York Public Library.
Who translated the Bible into English?
William Tyndale (1494?-1536), who first translated the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew text, is one such forgotten pioneer.
How much did Harvard pay for the Gutenberg Bible?
Yale in the only other American university which has a Gutenberg Bible but Harvard officials say that the New Haven copy is not in “quite as fine condition” as the one here. At its last public sale, before Yale was given the copy, that Gutenberg Bible brought $120,000.
What is the oldest Bible?
Along with Codex Vaticanus, the Codex Sinaiticus is considered one of the most valuable manuscripts available, as it is one of the oldest and likely closer to the original text of the Greek New Testament.
Who published the first Bible?
The first bible published in North America was the so-called “Eliot Bible” which was printed in 1663 at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But it was not a version of the King’s Speech…or King’s English–the King James Bible. Rather, it was written in the Algonquin Indian language.
How did the Gutenberg Bible changed the world?
The Bible, too, became a transformed document. Gutenberg’s Bible contained 1,286 pages holding forty-two lines of text. Of the approximately 180 copies printed, less than 50 survive today. In the 50 years that followed the Gutenberg Bible, hundreds of presses emerged across Europe, printing millions of books.

Rubbing alcohol, sometimes called "surgical spirit", is an effective disinfectant and counter-septic. Commonly consisting of methylated spirits (95% methanol), rubbing alcohol should not be applied to broken skin but is useful for the cleaning of skin around wounds to prevent the spread of pathogens found on the skin.
For areas of broken skin, an antiseptic cream would be advisable. These assist in the healing of skin, acting as a blood/air barrier in much the same way as a scab. This speeds platelet aggregation and the formation of scar tissue. Commercially available brands include "Savlon".

The average new mom in the United States is older than ever — but the reason might surprise you.
Women are starting families later. But the main force behind the trend is a dramatic drop in births to teens. That drove up the average age at which women give birth to their first child to 26.3 years in 2014, from 24.9 years in 2000, according to data released Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

ITC to acquire Kolkata-based spices company Sunrise Foods for Rs 1,800-2,000 crore
ITC has signed a share purchase agreement with Sunrise Foods Private Limited to acquire the spices company with strong presence in Eastern India. Sunrise Foods has been in the market for nearly 70 years and the company has a strong portfolio of blended and natural spices. ITC will pay and estimated Rs 1,800 to 2,000 crore for acquisition of Sunrise Foods. ITC has been improving its product portfolio and pan-India presence in FMCG sector and acquisition of Sunrise Foods will give it a strong foothold in Eastern Indian market.
ITC has been trying to add profitable products to its FMCG portfolio, a move to have higher profit and sales from non-cigarette business. Spices market in North India is mainly ruled by MDH spices, Catch Spices, Everest and few other brands. Major retail chains like Reliance Retail and More have their own brands for spices. ITC currently promotes its spices under Aashirwad brand and the company claims to be in leading position in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
JM Financial Services was the exclusive advisor to Sunrise Foods for the deal. Subject to fulfillment of certain conditions, ITC will acquire 100% stake in Sunrise Foods Private Limited. As per a report published by VCCircle, Sunrise Foods registered net sales of Rs 400 crore for year ending March 2018 and booked net profit of Rs 41 crore for the year. The financials for last year for Sunrise Foods aren’t available. ITC has not shared the details of the deal yet but the company has confirmed about Share Purchase Agreement.
In year 2004, ITC had setup ITC Spices as a separate unit to focus on spices. The company currently handles around 35,000 metric tonnes of items annually. Packed spices and blended spices segment is growing quickly across India and industry experts feel that the market will grow in future as well.
Talking about the move, ITC official statement added, “The deal will augment the company’s product portfolio and is aligned to ITC’s aspiration to significantly scale up its spices business and expand its footprint across the country. The deep consumer connect and distribution strength of SFPL in the focus markets, together with synergies arising out of the sourcing and supply chain capabilities of the company’s agribusiness and its pan-India distribution network, will provide significant value creation opportunities for the company.”

Calgary’s Port Juvee have released their debut EP, Revenge, a rollicking show of their garage influenced rock. The group have a knack for creating real jams, evidently drawing influence from bands like The Strokes and fellow Calgarians, The Dudes. Produced by Justin Gerrish, who has worked with the likes of Vampire Weekend and Weezer, Port Juvee’s debut finds them staying true to their roots while displaying a sound influenced by the New York scene of the 2000s.
The EP begins with “Toe The Line,” a direct indie rock number that showcases a strong bassline and off-the-cuff lyrics. Staccato guitar accentuates the vocal melody, later taking over the song for a brief solo. “All That’s Fine” is dancier than the first track, and features a catchy beat paired with poppy guitars. The song’s bridge shows the band’s strength in creating rock songs that are from the heart. Third song and title track, “Revenge,” has vocal and guitar lines that mirror each other. Darker lyrics are paired with a melody in a major key, creating a nice contrast that keeps the listener engaged.
The latter half of the album starts out even more upbeat in terms of melody, with “Half The Time I’d Rather Be Waiting” communicating the band’s wistful ethos lyrically. The instrumentation in this song is really clear and solid – to the point, like good rock should be. Thumping bass opens “Just The Thing,” the guitar accenting the desperation evident in the lyrics. The rhythm section really drives this song, which is full of energy. “Rooks” slows things down in ballad form to conclude the EP. It’s refreshing to hear the band reduce their tempo a bit, yet still retain the spirit present in their previous songs.
Melding indie and garage rock, Port Juvee are making great music for lovers of the New York sound. Revenge shows a comfortable group of musicians who have written enjoyable songs that exhibit their individual and collective talents. Extensive touring has clearly benefited the band, given how cohesive they already sound on their debut. I am excited to hear what they do next!
Revenge is available now via Bandcamp.
Top Tracks: “All That’s Fine,” “Revenge,” “Toe The Line”

Ackerdijk Forest - Delft
The Ackerdijkse Bos in Midden Delfland is a young forest on the foundations of Roman times. You will find the Melarium; a centre for nature, bees and art, meeting place for beekeepers and scientists. But also Art Centre Delft's sculpture park, which is freely accessible. And the Hortus Oculus, an experience garden for the visually impaired.
It is a bit further from the cycle junctions but you might still spot the huge 12-metre-high tulip vase with Delft blue motif. An intitiative of Land Art Delft, in homage to the city's famous symbol.

Many fans were shocked to hear that Brad Womack of the Bachelor season 11 was once again chosen to be the new bachelor on the upcoming season 15, as Brad is notorious for dumping both of his final two contestants during his 2007 season.
But ready or not, the new season has been filmed and is all set to premiere early next year on ABC! In the preview clip below, we see that Brad really really wants us to know that he is indeed a changed man, but the best part of the clip is when one of his bachelorettes decides to give him a slap on behalf of all women.
According to an ABC executive, the women had heard rumors of Brad being the next bachelor but they did not know for sure until they got out of the limo.
“The rumors about Brad were out there and some of the girls had seen them and were prepared for Brad but for a majority of them, it was a surprise,” the executive tells Entertainment Weekly.
The new season of The Bachelor premieres Monday, Jan. 3 at 8/7c on ABC. A preview clip is below –

Reacting to the world around you can be a delicate situation even for the most outgoing of people. How do you react politely to a person who is speaking too loudly? How do you express unhappiness (and shield your sensitive eyes) from a sudden bright light? Designer Sangli Lin developed a playful way to interact with the world without having to utter a syllable.
Li’s Expressive Wearable project uses clothing and accessories as more than just fashion – they are communication tools. The hat displayed here is equipped with a number of sensors that detect objects in close proximity to the user, loud noises, and bright lights. At the presence of any of these annoyances, the hat reacts immediately.
The proximity sensor reacts by unfolding a fan from the neck area that encourages the encroacher to back off. Loud sounds cause fans to swoop down over the wearer’s ears, and bright lights bring fans down over the eyes. These reactions don’t necessarily deter the actions that caused them, but they do convey a very simple non-verbal message: the wearer does not appreciate what has just happened.
Li points out that the wearable is not a “smart” device; it is simple and intelligent only in the sense that it displays the wearer’s personality and preferences. The designer poses a difficult but sensible question: is the use of this type of technology gentle and modest, or does it convey a sense of arrogance on the part of the wearer?

ISOO 4-SHELF SYSTEM SUPPORT
This brand new premium system support is designed to
separate hi-fi equipment from both ground and air-borne vibrations. It sinks air-borne vibration down to the floor, while isolating the ground borne-vibration going the other
Its four platforms have outriggers which use a novel system
of knife-edge contact points, slotting into self-damped Delrin washers via a cam system. The inner plinths use Delrin cones against rising-rate sorbothane damping.
The 25mm platforms are made from specially selected MDF with
the option of satin black or soft white. The uprights offer a variety of shelf spacings, and come in a choice of Wenge or Oak. The former is tighter and crisper sounding, the latter is warmer and
The system has the no-cost option of a top-table for those
who don’t wish to extend the system further upwards, but the system can be extended up to eight tiers and can be configured to suit a variety of equipment heights.
The rear of the rack has cut-outs for cable management if
required. Proper use of this will further increase sonic performance, because cables themselves are microphonic and correct dressing will help to sink vibrations in
Meticulous attention-to-detail in the design process,
alongside ‘audiophile best practice’ used at every point in the design, means ISOO delivers
superlative sound quality – better than any other rack at the price. As well as a beautiful equipment support, it’s a dramatic sonic upgrade too.


Resistive load testing checks that your generator set can actually take its rated load for a predetermined time without over-heating or shutting down. All critical engine systems are monitored and checked during the load test and after the cool down period. Provincial and national codes require that generators which support life safety systems be tested annually. Power Station has a cost-effective innovative mobile approach to on-site testing that will meet your responsibilities under code and meet your budget and time restraints.
Some of the important measurements monitored are as follows:
- Full 3-Phase measurements of Volts, giving phase to phase and phase to neutral values
- Full 3-Phase measurements of Amps
- Frequency (Hz)
- Kilo Watts (kW)
- Kilo Volt Amps (kVa)
- Power Factor (pf)
- Maximum and minimum values Volts and frequency variations

Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly Get Romantic in Paris
There’s nothing quite like the holiday season to bring couples back together.
The parties. The mistletoe. The questions from your Great Aunt Trudie about why you aren’t married yet.
There’s one particular couple that took the new year to rekindle their romance: Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly.
The Yankee and the Charlie’s Angel actress broke up in August, but seem to have found themselves back in couply bliss right in time for the new year
According to PEOPLE Magazine, Kelly and Jeter spent the new year in the most romantic of places, Paris. The two were spotted sightseeing and cuddling up to one another.
“They looked much in love,” one witness told People. “They were always very, very close and very playful as a couple with each other.”
Before their summertime breakup Minka and Derek had been together for three years. It was rumored that her Miami shooting schedule contributed to their split. Even before their Paris trip there were hints of a reconciliation; hints like Derek showing up in Miami just as rumors of Kelly dating her co-star surfaced.
Consider it a good thing that ‘Charlie’s Angels’ was cancelled.
