Can the sun rekindle our sense of wonder?
Genna Duberstein works at the intersection of art and science. As the lead multimedia producer for heliophysics at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, she works alongside scientists to bring to life data from the Sun. It takes approximately 10 hours of work to make one minute of ultra-HD footage of the Sun.
This award-winning work has been aired on PBS, and featured on Vanity Fair, Wired magazine, The Atlantic and National Geographic.
Genna's firm belief that "both art and science are forms of exploration" has inspired her brainchild "Solarium," an innovative piece of video art that is the visualization of a vast reservoir of data collected by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory transformed into a viewing experience is calming, joyful, soothing.


Scorpio Sky signs five year AEW contract extension
The Man of the Year is sticking around.
Scorpio Sky has confirmed that he has been offered and signed a new five year contract extension with All Elite Wrestling, confirming that he will be "All Elite" for some time to come.
in an interview with PW Insider, Sky confirmed the news by saying:
“Working for [Tony Khan] is great,” said Sky. “I love it. He’s always shown faith in me, and it’s something that I’ve really truly appreciated. He saw something in me very, very early on. He still sees it, evident by the contract extension that I just signed so I’m going to be with AEW for a long, long time. A lot of that comes down to Tony Khan and his vision. There’s nothing more I can say about it. Nothing but good things to say about working for a guy like that.”
“I did that right around the time of the (All Out) pay-per-view,” said Sky. “I’m happy to be with AEW for at least five more years.”
Sky has been a regular part of AEW television since teaming up with Ethan Page as Men of the Year, and also aligning themselves with American Top Team, Dan Lambert's MMA group.
Sky was one half of the first ever AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Frankie Kazarian, and has had a number of opportunities at the TNT Championship, but so far has been unable to add further AEW gold to his collection.
It's great to see AEW retaining their top talents, Scorpio Sky has all the potential to be a main event player. Hopefully, this new contract will give him the time to realise that potential.

This summer, expose yourself to a new way of seeing history!
Black artists, writers, dancers and performers created powerful, positive images of black culture and identity through various media in the wake of the civil rights movement and dawn of the Black Nationalist movement. The Visual Arts of the Black Arts Movement (VABAM) will focus on integrating the arts into the classroom to promote visual literacy, critical thinking, and historical understanding of civil rights and the Black Power period.
Teachers of U.S. History, African-American Studies, American Studies, and other arts and humanities have the unique opportunity to spend a week this summer engaged in the Black Arts Movement with top scholars, field trips, and archives. Participants will explore:
- How did visual artists of the Black Arts movement address issues of Black Power, politics, community, self-determination, identity, and gender?
- How does analyzing the visual arts and primary source texts of BAM enrich our understanding of historical and contemporary American politics, art, and culture? How do they make history come alive for students?
- How can visual literacy help students understand and interpret art as more than just “illustrations” of history?
- What is the historical significance of the visual arts of the Black Arts movement?
Teachers will work with Rebecca Zorach, professor of Art History at the University of Chicago who has conducted visual critical thinking courses in the city high schools, and additional invited artists and scholars. Over the course of five days, you will explore: (1) Historical and Political Contexts of BAM, (2) Visual Analysis and the Black aesthetic, (3) Collaborations Across Media: Photographers and Writers, (4) Community Art through Murals, (5) Women Artists and the BAM.
In addition, teachers will have time each day to collaborate on how to integrate in their classes and will be expected to produce a lesson plan that will shared online.

Future of Map Grant stands uncertain
May 13, 2010
Filed under Uncategorized
The status of Illinois’ MAP, or Monetary Award Program, grant is uncertain.
MAP grant is a college scholarship awarded through the state to students in need of financial assistance who fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which can lead to institutional, state or federal need-based aid.
“The MAP grant is free money,” said Daniel Mann, director of student financial aid for the University. “It doesn’t have to be re-paid and it’s awarded based on financial need.”
Mann said students that are eligible will receive $4,968, which makes it the third largest financial aid program at the University; 6,054 University students were awarded the MAP grant last year. On April 19, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) declared a suspension of the MAP grant award for the 2010-2011 year. Applications submitted before the suspension are still eligible, although the grant is pending finalization of the state budget.
“As of right now, we do not have a budget agreement that has passed through both chambers of the general assembly,” said Paul Palian, director of communication for ISAC. “We do not know what the amount that will be appropriated to ISAC to deliver state student aid programs to the citizens of Illinois.”
Palian said there is currently a bill in each house showing an appropriation of approximately $425 million for student aid to go towards funding the MAP grant. He added that the grant was suspended due to a 37 percent increase in application volume compared to last year.
“We’ve received more than 16,000 eligible MAP grant applications between the period of April 19 and May 6,” Palian said. “You don’t want to write checks that you can’t deliver on.”
He added that 64 percent of those applicants selected a community college as their first choice on the FAFSA, while 18 percent selected a public, four-year school and 11 percent chose an in-state private college.
Palian said since the grant’s suspension, ISAC has received an average of 5,000 eligible applicants per week with 2/3 being community college students, who have been denied aid.
“This is skewing more and more towards affecting community college students,” Palian said. “We’re trying to work with other, higher education partners to find solutions to meet the demand for MAP,” Palian said.
Palian said the University has had 136 applicants denied because they applied after April 19. The school with the largest number of rejected applicants was Devry University with 517 rejected applicants.
Mann said 77 percent of University students receive some form of financial aid.
“MAP grants are extremely important in maintaining accessibility of the University,” said David Olsen, student body president. “It costs a lot of money to go here, even if you’re in-state.”
Olsen added that MAP grants allow students to attend college who may not have had the opportunity previously.
“There’s a huge number of people that need this assistance,” Olsen said. “To fund the MAP grant, we would have to cut somewhere else, and that’s the really difficult part for the state.”
Palian said that over the past 3 years, ISAC has given over 99.5 percent of the funds appropriated to them back to the students. He added that he is hopeful that state funding will come through for MAP.
“Monetary Award Program is a program that’s popular on both sides of the aisle,” Palian said. “People like it in both the legislature and the executive office.”
Palian said students should not be discouraged by the suspension of MAP and should continue to fill out FAFSA if they are in need of financial aid.
Olsen said students and their networks have a strong voice in advocating for financial aid.
“When legislators know that MAP grants are important to their constituents, through letters, phone calls or personal visits, these state legislators know this is something they have to protect for the University,” Olsen said. “The people we really need to contact are those up in the Chicago area and downstate Illinois.”

Democrats in Virginia and around the country rebuked Virginia Gov.-elect Ralph Northam for softening on a campaign promise to push for Medicaid expansion in a recent interview with the Washington Post. Newly elected state Delegate Lee Carter, a Democratic Socialist, says enough is enough, warning that Northam may be alienating the Democrats who put him in office.
Northam told the Washington Post last weekend that he will not try to force a vote on expanding Medicaid — an issue that was central to his campaign — in the legislature. Responding to criticisms, the governor-elect’s spokesperson told the Washington Post that Northam still wants to expand the program. Northam also renewed his commitment to Medicaid expansion on social media following the outcry.
I have and will continue to advocate for Medicaid expansion because it is a no-brainer for Virginia families, our budget, and our economy. We can also come together on smart policy choices that will allow us to deliver better care at lower cost.
— . (@RalphNortham) December 17, 2017
Still, it remains unclear whether Northam will ask the legislature for a straight up or down vote on the measure or instead try to work out a compromise that may include reforms that could actually reduce Medicaid eligibility for some people.
Northam will enter office in January with a slate of newly elected Democrats, including Carter — a 30-year-old marine veteran who toppled the Republican House whip in the November election.
“It’s important to recognize that there are 750,000 Virginians with no health insurance whatsoever. So when we’re talking about the Medicaid expansion — there’s 370,000 people who are eligible under the federal rules,” Carter said in an interview with The Intercept. “So a clean Medicaid expansion only covers half of those people. A clean Medicaid expansion is the compromise. That’s where I’m coming from, that’s what I hope he’d be advocating for. I don’t think his comments were indicative of that.”
Carter himself has not had health insurance for nearly a year, as purchasing coverage through the health care marketplace can be cost-prohibitive. He thought about how that might change on the night he won his election, reportedly telling his wife, “You know what I won? Health insurance.”
Virginia is one of a handful of states that has yet to utilize the Affordable Care Act’s provision to expand Medicaid access. Republicans in the state legislature have been blocking the move, but the Democratic wave in November makes the body nearly evenly split. Northam would only have to swing a handful of Republicans in order to fully expand the program.
As a candidate, Northam made expanding Medicaid a cornerstone of his bid for governor. He highlighted that promise in campaign commercials aired throughout the state, a fact that was not lost on his supporters:
— People for Bernie (@People4Bernie) December 17, 2017
But he wavered on that promise in his recent interview with the Washington Post. Summarizing his view, the paper wrote, “Northam said he has no plans to try to force Republicans to accept a broad expansion of Medicaid. Instead, he has begun talks with lawmakers in both parties about overhauling the state’s Medicaid system to expand access to health care while better defining eligibility to control costs.” Later in the interview, Northam said he consulted with both Democratic and Republican lawmakers and that he plans to instead push for a bipartisan solution that could involve, among other things, encouraging those who do not currently work to work. “I want people to have skin in the game. I want to incentivize people to really have good health,” he said.
Carter believes voters will punish Democrats if the party does not make progress on expanding health care coverage.
“There was a clear mandate from the voters on health care. I mean it was completely unambiguous,” he said. “750,000 Virginians with no health insurance whatsoever. There’s a million or two million more who have health insurance but can’t afford their deductible. Something has got to change on health care. It’s got to change in a dramatic matter. And if we don’t deliver on that, in two years there’s gonna be hell to pay.”
Former Virginia Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello, who unsuccessfully challenged Northam for the Democratic nomination earlier this year, pointed out on Twitter that the Medicaid promise was a big part of the Democrats’ success last month:
Blocking Medicaid expansion was a major reason so many Republicans lost their House seats in VA this year. Full expansion should be bi-partisan, and every legislator in Richmond should have to cast a public vote before 2019 on a policy that is morally right & good for VA economy.
— Tom Perriello (@tomperriello) December 17, 2017
Indeed, an NBC exit poll found that 37 percent of Virginia voters said health care was the most important issue to them. University of Maryland polling released earlier this year found that 69 percent of Virginians supported Medicaid expansion.
Northam has also made getting a full Medicaid expansion more difficult by so-far not appointing Republicans from the legislature into his administration. Doing so would trigger special elections that could throw control of the legislature to the Democrats instead.
Carter expressed some disappointment in the governor-elect’s move.
“It certainly would’ve made it easier to achieve our legislative priorities if he had done that,” Carter said of appointing a Republican to a cabinet position. “It’s not necessarily the decision I would have made, but it wasn’t the decision for me to make.”

Obesity and prostate cancer
America is the land of plenty. Unfortunately, however, the good life has some bad consequences. One is obesity. The abundant supply of high-calorie foods and the labor-saving devices that enable sedentary living are the twin engines driving our obesity epidemic. At present, 30% of Americans are overweight, 30% are obese, and 5% are very obese. And if that's not enough to worry about, remember that the prevalence of obesity has increased steadily since the 1960s "" and the nation's waistline continues to grow.
Obesity has emerged as a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, and it's easy to see why. Excess body fat raises LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while lowering HDL ("good") cholesterol. It raises blood pressure, blood sugar, and insulin levels. Obesity discourages exercise and contributes to stress and depression. Since these changes all increase cardiac risk, obesity deserves a large share of the blame for heart attacks and strokes, the first and third leading causes of death in the United States.

Co-Founder / Creative Director
The majority of Andrew's professional work in the arts and culture sector has been tied to his projects with Synonym Art Consultation over the last three years. He has a 4-year BA in Creative Writing from The University of Winnipeg and has completed ACI Manitoba’s Festival and Event Management Masterclass. His primary art form is as a poet, having been published in CV2, Juice, rip/torn, and The Winnipeg Free Press. Lately, however, the role of curator and community arts facilitator has become his most creatively satisfying endeavour, allowing him to explore a literary and visual art practice alongside those of others, via collaboration.
Co-Founder / Creative Director
Beyond her work with Synonym Art Consultation, Chloe has worked in many capacities and at many levels of Manitoba’s arts and culture sector, including as the Assistant Manager of Studio 393, a satellite program of Graffiti Art Programming, as well as as the Event Coordinator for Arts & Disability Network. She has completed ACI Manitoba’s Festival and Event Management Masterclass. Chloe also has a career as a professional visual artist in many different mediums and has shown work at The Graffiti Gallery, The Frame Arts Warehouse, and at the REEL PRIDE Film Festival.
Before acceptance into The University of Manitoba Fine Arts program Pat Lazo’s interest in art had begun at an early age. From 1993, he was involved in the early Canadian graffiti movement, when legal and illegal paintings were the all part of his practice. Seeing conflicts between high-art, commercial art, and graffiti art, much of the subject matter of his work pertains to this conflict. Lazo co-founded Graffiti Art Programming in 1998 and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba in 2002. Presently, he is the Artistic Director at Graffiti Art Programming. In January 2009 he received the Future Leaders of Manitoba award in the Arts Category.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, artist Andrew Sannie has become known for his lyrical chops as an emcee and member of critically acclaimed/WCMA nominated hip hop group, The Lytics. After graduating from the University of Winnipeg as a Rhetoric, Writing and Communications and English major, Andrew turned his sights to the not for profit world, wanting to apply his background as a creative and now trained writer to a professional work setting. His most recent endeavours have found him teamed up with Synonym Art Consultation and GAP to help realize his vision of covering the North End in contemporary, world-class murals. Often taking a community first approach to his creativity, Andrew has helped launch North End Arts and Arts week to help promote creativity, art and culture in the cities North End. This most recent foray in to community activation and arts curation as a member of the Wall-to-Wall team, seems like a natural fit for a hungry creative with dreams of keeping his city beautiful.

Starboard SUP Introduction to Basic Paddle Technique and Turning
This video displays how to perform a basic paddle stroke and SUP turns starting with the basic turn, crossbow turn and lastly the step back turn.
Basic Paddle Stroke
1. The paddle stroke needs to be smooth and clean when entering and exiting the water, otherwise called the catch and release phase of the stroke.
2. When holding the paddle, your top arm holds the handle and your lower arm grips the shaft of the paddle so its shoulder width apart.
3. To start the stroke, extend your lower arm and reach forwards to enter the blade in the water. As you pull the paddle towards you, your top arm pushes downwards digging the blade deep in the water.
4. As the paddle reaches inline with your feet, twist the blade to release it from the water to prepare for the next stoke.
1. To perform a basic turn whilst standing up, gently push as wide as you can from the tail of the board towards the nose. To complete the turn, switch sides and pull the paddle from the nose to the tail keeping knees bent for stability.
Reverse Paddle Turn / Crossbow turn
1. The crossbow turn allows you turn efficiently by using your momentum without moving your footing. It can be used for both sides and is often used in racing as a more stable option to a step back turn.
2. Build up momentum and then start by twisting your shoulders sideways, lifting the paddle across the nose of the board. Enter the blade as wide as possible and slowly use the power face of the blade to push your paddle towards the nose.
3. Rotate your core and bend at the knees to generate the power in the stroke. Switch sides with the paddle and complete the turn by pulling the paddle from the nose to the tail. It is important not to twist the paddle when performing this stroke.
Step back turn
1. The step back is a quick and powerful turn that can be applied in both race and surf.
2. Step back with the leash foot into a sideways stance. The further back you step back, the faster you will turn.
3. Keep your torso facing forwards and eyes fixed on the nose of the board to keep your weight aligned and evenly distributed.
4. Maintain a wide stance to help balance on the board and keep legs bent to increase stability.
5. Paddle with a wide and strong stroke either on your front side of backside depending on which way you want to turn.
6. As you finish the turn, step forwards bringing both feet back into a parallel stance.

BEIJING | China called Friday to a strengthening of the cooperation with the United States in the fight against the pandemic COVID-19, at a time when the american president Donald Trump’s threat to “cut relationship” with Beijing.
The tenant of the White House pounds the past several weeks that the heavy balance sheet of the COVID-19 — over 300, 000 deaths around the world — could have been avoided if China had acted in a responsible manner at the onset of the virus in the city of Wuhan (central China) at the end of last year.
When asked about the various retaliatory measures that it is considering, Mr. Trump, who has in recent days raised the possible introduction of new customs surcharges, proved to be both evasive and threatening in an interview with Fox Business aired Thursday.
“There are a lot of things that we could do. We could break off any relationship”, he launched.
“If we did, what would happen?”, questioned the tenant of the White House. “We could save $ 500 billion if it broke any relationship,” explained the billionaire republican, customary warnings without following day.
Invited to respond, a spokesman for china’s public diplomacy, Zhao Lijian, has argued to the contrary on Friday for a strengthening of the cooperation of his country with the United States in the fight against the new coronavirus.
“Maintain stable relations between China and the United States is in the fundamental interest of the two peoples and to peace and stability in the world,” he added in front of the press.
The american president, who said he is “very disappointed” by the attitude of Beijing in the management of the crisis of the novel coronavirus, has rejected the idea of talking directly with his counterpart Xi Jinping to ease tensions.


Maybe TX Rep. Cuellar Should Have Been One of the 1.1 Million Americans Who Bought a Gun Last Month

As we noted earlier, a US Congressman was carjacked at gunpoint on the streets of our nation’s capital last night. As the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Mark Oliva told us . . .
The despicable and violent attack on Congressman Henry Cuellar serves as a reminder why Americans continue to choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Crime rates are unabated and criminals prey on innocent Americans without consequence. Americans are choosing a different path.

Here’s a thought for you: Women in our society today THINK they are empowered… but the truth is most have a long way to go. As sad as it might be, our culture still oppresses women. Maybe not as much as we did 50 years ago, but it’s still definitely the case.

Athena Gyro brings Greek flavors to LaGrangeville
LAGRANGEVILLE - With the opening of Athena Gyro, owner George Maravegias believed there was a strong market for Greek food in Dutchess County.
And hungry customers validated that assumption, with so many people attending the restaurant's opening earlier this month that the restaurant ran out of lamb and beef for its gyros.
"It's the last thing you want to happen at a restaurant," Maravegias said. "How can we run out of gyros? But it showed that there were people interested in what we are doing."
Armed with that knowledge, as well as some gyros and baklava, Maravegias aims to attract the foodies of the mid-Hudson Valley to Athena Gyro with authentic Greek cuisine.
Athena Gyro opened on Aug. 18 at 1167 Route 55 in LaGrangeville. It is open seven days a week.
Maravegias felt that Greek food was a culinary niche that wasn't being fulfilled in the area.
"I saw a lot of Italian and Chinese restaurants, but I didn't really see many Greek food options," Maravegias said. "There wasn't much like it in the area."
Offering everything from moussaka and souvlaki to bougatsa and galactobouriko, Maravegias said he wanted to cater to a casual dining audience and provide a family-friendly atmosphere for diners. The restaurant seats 71 people.
The restaurant also features a catering menu, including gyros, falafel and hummus.
Key to the restaurant's success are the diners willing to sit down, relax and grab a bite, said Maravegias, a former Westchester resident.
"The people here are beautiful," Maravegias said. "Everyone here is calmer, and they enjoy things at a slower pace."
Moving forward, Maravegias plans to obtain the necessary licenses to sell beer and wine.

A photograph of what appeared to be her smoking a suspicious hand-rolled cigarette was uploaded on Instagram back in February.
And on Saturday, the star sparked concerns once again when she was pictured enjoying what appeared to be the same on her hotel balcony.
The 20-year-old singer was seen inhaling and puffing smoke into the air as she sat outside at her accommodation in Miami, Florida with the brown paper coated item.
What is she smoking? Miley Cyrus took a drag of a suspicious looking hand-rolled cigarette on her hotel balcony in Miami, Florida
Miley chatted to friends as they relaxed on a veranda, looking as though she had just woken up as she donned only a black T-shirt with gold writing across.

The star, who had tied her short pixie blonde hair up on top of her head, squinted her eyes as she took a deep drag of the cigarette with her left hand, which was missing the engagement ring given to her by fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
Afterwards she laughed to herself as she peered down at the action below her.

Voi has brought in price changes to rent its e-scooters across Bristol and Bath today (May 7) - with new options for the monthly pass also introduced.
The company emailed customers to notify them of the price changes this morning, although many people reported finding it difficult to find the new prices, which were not in the email.
From today, it costs 16p per minute, plus a 99p booking fee, to ride an e-scooter on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The day pass has gone up in price. The pass, which provides up to nine rides or 200 minutes riding, has increased in price from £4.99 to £7.
And the monthly pass now has two options - 300 minutes for £35 per month or up to nine rides or 200 minutes a day for £50 per month.
In its email to customers, the company said: “We’re writing to inform you of price changes in Bristol and Bath. From Today, 7 May, the price to ride Voi will be adjusted across our Pay-As-You-Go, Day Pass and Month Pass products.
“In conjunction with these changes, after receiving a lot of helpful feedback from you, our riders, we are also expanding our Monthly Pass offering.
“Riders will now have access to two options, to add flexibility and better suit your riding habits.You can check the current prices of all products by clicking on the scooter symbol in the Voi app.”
The Voi e-scooter trial started in Bristol in 2020, and has divided opinion in the city with some praising its environmental impact while others raising concerns over parking and safety.
Last month, it was announced the scheme would cover the entirety of Bristol, having included 65% of the city up till now. This month, the e-scooters will arrive in the north west of the city, followed by the southern part previously excluded in May.
The trial has been extended to last until November 2022.

Joe Biden’s very inadequate Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm agreed Sunday that Americans will be paying more to heat their homes this winter due to soaring fuel costs. She added that we should be grateful since Europe will pay more.
CNN”s Dana Bash asked her: “Should Americans — it will likely be a cold winter, most of them are, expect to pay higher prices for heating their homes?”
Granholm immediately said “yes” but Americans should be grateful because Europeans will be paying much more.
“Yes. This is going to happen. It will be more expensive this year than last year,” Granholm confessed. “We are in a slightly beneficial position, certainly relative to Europe, because their chokehold of natural gas is significant. They’ll pay five times higher.”
Then she blamed the rising fuel costs on energy companies not “flipping the switch” rather than Biden’s administration shutting down domestic energy production.
“We have the same problem in fuels that the supply chains have, which is that the oil and gas companies are not flipping the switch as quickly as the demand requires.”
“So that’s why the president has been focused on both the immediate term and the long-term. Let us get off of the volatility associated with fossil fuels and associated with others who don’t have our country’s interests at heart and invest in moving to clean energy where we will not have this problem, and that’s so much of what the two bills are focused on.”
Granholm is too lacking to lie well.
Last week, she blamed OPEC for the problems. When the host asked her what Biden’s plan was for increasing oil production, she burst out in phony laughter and said that [the question] was “hilarious.” She added if only I had “a magic wand.”

Sioux Falls Police are looking for the driver of a vehicle that hit a city plow early Christmas morning.
The 1998 Mazda hit the gas tank of the city truck around 2:30 a.m. Christmas morning.
Sioux Falls Police Public Information Officer Sam Clemens said an officer had tried to pull the car over for a minor traffic violation shortly before the crash but it sped away. The officer decided not to chase the vehicle but a few minutes later it hit the plow as it was turning toward the bus stop on 10th Street in downtown Sioux Falls.
The driver and a 40-year-old female passenger fled from the scene on foot. Another passenger, a 28-year-old male, who was riding in the front seat, was pinned under the plow and had to be extricated from the vehicle.
The female passenger came back to the scene later and talked with officers and gave authorities the name of the driver. Police say both passengers were drunk and they suspect the driver was drinking too.
It will cost about $6,000 to repair the city truck.
Coming up tonight on KELOLAND News we’ll tell you why officials say this crash could have been worse.

A United Nations investigation into targeted killings will examine drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, according to the British lawyer heading the inquiry.
Ben Emmerson QC, a UN special rapporteur, will reveal the full scope of his review which will include checks on military use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in UK operations in Afghanistan, US strikes in Pakistan, as well as in the Sahel region of Africa where the conflict in Mali has erupted. It will also take evidence on Israeli drone attacks in Palestinian territories.
About 20 or 30 strikes – selected as representative of different types of attacks – will be studied to assess the extent of any civilian casualties, the identity of militants targeted and the legality of strikes in countries where the UN has not formally recognised there is a conflict.
The inquiry will report to the UN general assembly in New York this autumn. Depending on its findings, it may recommend further action. Emmerson has previously suggested some drone attacks – particularly those known as "double tap" strikes where rescuers going to the aid of a first blast have become victims of a follow-up strike – could possibly constitute a "war crime".
The inquiry will be co-ordinated through Emmerson's UN office in Geneva. Among the team of experts working with him will be the former director of public prosecutions, Lord Macdonald QC, a former prosecutor at the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, and Dr Nat Cary, one of the UK's most experienced pathologists who specialises in the interpretation of injuries caused by explosions.
The inquiry is the result of a request by several nations, including Pakistan and two permanent members of the UN security council.
Staff in Geneva have already begun to examine details of individual drone strikes. Emmerson says that, when assembled, his dossier of evidence may not lead to direct "attribution of legal liability" but will enable him to put allegations to the states responsible and obtain a response.
The Ministry of Defence, he said, had assured him of its willingness to co-operate. The influential US Council on Foreign Relations recently recommended that the US president should: "provide information to the public, Congress, and UN special rapporteurs – without disclosing classified information – on what procedures exist to prevent harm to civilians".
Despite many US officials justifying drone strikes in Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia as acceptable as part of the global war on terrorism, others in the Washington administration have more recently acknowledged a need to demonstrate legal justification for targeted killings to the international community.
Emmerson told the Guardian: "One of the fundamental questions is whether aerial targeting using drones is an appropriate method of conflict … where the individuals are embedded in a local community.
"One of the questions we will be looking at is whether, given the local demography, aerial attacks carry too high a risk of a disproportionate number of civilian casualties." "The explosion of drone technology [raises the question whether] the military dependence on UAVs carries an unacceptably high risk of civilian casualties."
Between June 2004 and September 2012, according to research by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, drone strikes killed between 2,562 and 3,325 people in Pakistan, of whom between 474 and 881 were civilians, including 176 children.

Statement on VDOE Report Regarding SOL Testing at Carver Elementary School
Dear RPS Family,
I’m writing today to proactively share the Virginia Department of Education’s final report regarding SOL testing at Carver Elementary School. I was briefed on the report this morning and received it this afternoon.
The report is deeply troubling. It presents abundant evidence of what amounts to cheating by a small group of adults on the SOL examinations for the past several years at Carver. To be clear: our students did nothing wrong; they merely followed the instructions of the adults responsible for them.
Cheating is unacceptable. Full stop. Above all else, my administration will be one of integrity – which, as one of my favorite elementary teachers so aptly put it, means doing the right thing even when no one is looking. We ask this of our students; the least we can do is model it ourselves.
To safeguard the integrity of our testing processes across the division, I have asked Dr. Tracy Epp, our Chief Academic Officer, to convene a working group of teachers and principals to provide recommendations about both policy and practice in time for the Spring 2019 SOL testing.
What most disturbs me about what occurred at Carver is that it effectively robbed our young people of the opportunity to demonstrate their learning free from suspicion. In doing so, it helped perpetuate pernicious stereotypes about what children from low-income families and children of color can achieve.
To be blunt: too many people thought, “How could Carver, which serves nearly 100% low-income students and students of color, have such high scores? There must be something going on.” With those suspicions now confirmed, corrosive biases about our students, as well as the inequities that flow from them, have the potential to become even more ingrained in our city.
We can’t let that happen.
To the entire City of Richmond, I want to say this as clearly as I possibly can: High achievement at every one of our high-poverty schools is unequivocally possible. I’ve seen it with my own students when I taught in a high-poverty neighborhood in Washington DC, and I’ve seen it in countless classrooms across the country – including Richmond.
At the same time, I am the first to admit that high-performing, high-poverty classrooms are the exception, not the rule, in RPS. We have a moral obligation to change that – and we will.
I’m under no illusion that doing so will be easy. It’s going to require us to confront biases and stereotypes head-on; to provide more and better support to our students and teachers alike; to be bold and innovative; to fiercely advocate for more resources; and to be unrelenting in the face of challenges ahead.
Every one of our students, from every single neighborhood and every single family, has the capacity for greatness. It is our collective responsibility to create the conditions that will allow that greatness to shine. And that is exactly what we will do.


Two traders are suing Mt. Gox founder Jed McCaleb, and allege he knew of “serious security risks” years before 850,000 BTC was stolen in a devastating hack.
Joseph Jones and Peter Steinmetz have accused the ex-CEO of fraudulently and negligently misrepresenting the exchange.
The pair also allege that McCaleb was aware of “serious security risks” back in late 2010 or early 2011 — more than three years before 850,000 bitcoin (BTC) was stolen in an audacious hack. Their complaint adds:
“Rather than secure the exchange, McCaleb sold a large portion of his interest in the then sole proprietorship, and provided avenues to the purchases to cover-up security concerns at the time without ever informing or disclosing these issues to the public.”
Both of the plaintiffs describe themselves as experienced cryptocurrency traders. They said they were reassured by McCaleb following a “dictionary attack” in 2011, where a fraudster stole coins after targeting accounts with weak passwords.
The court document alleges that 80,000 BTC was already missing at that time, and claims that McCaleb sold a majority of his interest in Mt. Gox to Mark Karpeles instead of staying to repair the security issues.
While Jones said he owned 1,900 BTC at the time of Mt. Gox’s bankruptcy in February 2014 (worth $24 million at press time,) Steinmetz said he owned 43,000 BTC — crypto that would be worth more than $542 million at today’s rates. Both men are still in pursuit of their lost funds, and say they would not have used Mt. Gox had they known about the “significant security concerns” that existed in 2011.
In April, Mt. Gox Rehab trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi successfully petitioned a Japanese court to extend the deadline for the submission of Rehab plans to October 2019.
Meanwhile, back in March, former CEO Mark Karpeles was given a suspended jail sentence after being found guilty of tampering with financial records.

The NFF insist that no arrest warrant has been issued for their top officials and question the legality of the case against them.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have denied reports that the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the arrest of their president Amaju Pinnick and other top officials of the football body.
Several reports had it that Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued the order of arrest of Pinnick, NFF’s first Vice-President Seyi Akinwumi, second Vice-president Shehu Dikko, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi and an executive member Yusuff Fresh.
According to the reports, the order was given following the absence of the defendant in court for a case of alleged misappropriation of N3b ($8.4m) filed by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel (SPIP).
The NFF however in their statement have denied the report claiming instead that the case has been adjourned.
The NFF in their statement did confirm that a conditional bench warrant was issued by Justice Ojukwu but claimed that it was no longer in effect after the federation’s lawyer showed evidence that the defendants were absent in court because they were in Egypt for the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
“The NFF has also clarified that there is no bench warrant issued against NFF President, Mr Amaju Melvin Pinnick as being wrongly peddled in a section of the media,” part of NFF’s statement read.
The NFF have also continued to maintain that the prosecution of their top officials at the Federal High Court is illegal after the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation had directed the SPIP to submit their files for review.

Hey, gang... Yesterday I found the newest music video from Lindsey Stirling, and it struck me as having a really witchy aesthetic. The piece is called "Artemis" (I think it's the title track for her next album?) and is available on YouTube.
Just thought I'd share something that seemed appropriate for the group from an artist I follow... :-)

REVIEW: Rockstar Games Achieves Next-Level Greatness With ‘Grand Theft Auto V’
The highest budgeted, most creatively publicized game of the current console generation has raked in $1 billion dollars in just three days after release. The hugely successful gaming franchise has spawned two different schools of thought within the gaming industry. You can take the Activision /Treyarch approach, and, annually churn out a brand spanking new cash cow right on time for the holiday season. Or, what seems to be the more rewarding approach, you can take a page out of Rockstar Games’ playbook, develop your IP to new heights, and deliver the best game in the entire marketplace.

I am not USA citizen and I am not living in USA, I am individual Egyptian. I am little bit confusing about the Tax Form. I asked many people about that but they are not aware and couldn't help me. So I hope you could help me to complete that Form.
I am wondering about which Form option should I select W-8BEN or W-8ECI ?
Hi @MostafaYasinOur tax form tool provides instructors with the ability to select from a variety of different tax forms, including:
W-9 (used by U.S. individuals and entities to certify their Tax ID number)
W-8BEN (used by non-U.S. individuals to certify that they are a beneficial owner or a financial account-holder, and claim treaty benefits)
W-8BEN-E (used by non-U.S. entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner or a financial account-holder, and claim treaty benefits)
We also support the ability to submit certain less-common types of forms through our Support Help Center:
W-8ECI (used by non-U.S. individuals or entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner receiving U.S.-sourced income that is effectively connected with US trade or business)
W-8EXP (used by non-U.S. governments or other tax-exempt entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner or a financial account-holder)
W-8IMY (used by non-U.S. entities to certify they’re an intermediary or flow-through entity receiving payments on behalf of another person)
Choosing the right form will depend on where you live, whether you’re an individual or entity, and other specifics. Since Udemy is unable to provide tax advice, we recommend that you consult with a tax advisor to ensure you’re using the right form and entering the information correctly.


Students heading to and from school and the public can now access a new bridge across Russells Creek.
The bridge, east of Bromfield Street, has been funded by Warrnambool City Council and St Joseph’s Primary School.
Made of pre-cast concrete by a local manufacturer, the new 6.2m bridge replaces an old timber structure that had become unsafe and could no longer be used.
The bridge was officially opened today (Dec 19) by Warrnambool Mayor Cr Tony Herbert.
“This is a small but important renewal project and along with the bridge there is an additional 120m of concrete path linking the bridge to the Bromfield Street school crossing which has been moved to a safer spot north of the intersection with Barbers Lane,” Cr Herbert said.
“These projects improve connections within our city, encourage more walking and in this case we’re providing a safer environment for children on their way to and from school.
“The joint project with the school builds on a long-term agreement through which the school has provided public access to land along Russells Creek and on which Council has built a public path.”
St Joseph’s Primary School principal Michael Gray said improving pedestrian paths and links provided an opportunity for people to enjoy low-key exercise, which improved their health.
“And there are outcomes for the environment where you have alternative ways to travel,” Mr Gray said.
“The path and bridge are wide too which is excellent because parents with pushers and kids on bikes can travel together.
“This is a partnership between the community and the school and it’s a recreational precinct because it improves access to Aquazone and the botanic gardens.”
The cost of the new bridge was $90,000.
This financial year, funded by the two per cent rate cap variation, Council is investing $374,000 on renewing 600 lineal metres of footpath which include Pertobe Road in front of the carnival site; Cannon Hill from the Portuguese monument to Pertobe Road and stretches of footpath along Russells Creek, St James Park and Gateway Road.


Discussion in 'Pop & Justice' started by DarkSacoura, Feb 16, 2013.
Yeah, this did nothing for me, but Gimme still bops so it evens out.
I will not tolerate any shade toward 'Better's visceral rawness and grit.
'Look...' is definitely a grower, I definitely gave it the cock-eye at first, but it's really carved it's way into my head.
Jesus, her voice is very nice, why make it sound so robotic with that amount of autotune?
It's like with Lana Del Rey, Her voice sounds just fine when it's clear (like it is throughout her first album) but they just LOVE to add a reverb echo and make it sound like she's singing at the other end of a tunnel.
It wasn't done because her voice needs some sort of fix, they did it purposefully as an effect.
I understand why someone would be mad at it, but, I dunno... It doesn't bother me (Until they put it on every song, then we'll talk)
Yeah, no, I totally get it but it seems unnecessary to me to add it throughout the entire song. I guess it's just a personal preference but I really like her clear voice.
The good ol' "repeated listens" tactic is really not working this time around. *starts to worry about album*
This is not good.
I...kinda like it.
I don't think she's 100% successful at what shes trying to pull off with the whole cacophony of sounds thing but I appreciate the attempt. It's disorientating but...nice.
Underdog and Crowded Places were so much stronger than this and Gimme though, so I'm a little bit bitter that they aren't our first taste of the album.
I really like it, and maybe even more than "Gimme"...
It's very Grimes ffff.
Her music has always been distorted, bar a few songs. I think she has a beautiful voice, but she’s elsewhere with her music.
It’s not terrible, but I hope there’s something a bit more relaxed on the album.
I...can't make my mind up about this at all. The messy production certainly makes it unique, but yeah, it's a bit of a challenge to listen to. I'm a little concerned for the album now if this is what they considered second single material.
I love it ddddd
This sounds like Me! on crack
METH!, if you will.
This needs to be the new title for T*ylor's thread.
How does one weird song in her discography make you worried for the album?
I don’t think I’ll make repeated listens of this one.
...Yikes. I can hear her vocal chords scratching to escape her throat. Also why the hell did she think this should be 4 minutes?
This sounds like some mutant hybrid of Nelly Furtado and Shania Twain...

Today let’s take a behind the scenes look into what goes into making a YouTube guitar pedal demo. I decided to film myself making the Vick Audio 1861, and holy crap this turned into a long freaking video. If you ever wanted to know how I approach songwriting, recording, filming, editing, and doing the thumbnail, this is the video you’ve been waiting for. And if you somehow make it to the end you’re a freaking champion. This is the second upload. The first one had weird audio issues.

A new Republican women's group who is "fed up with Trump" and pouring cash into toss-up congressional districts is bankrolled solely by a male billionaire venture capitalist who is a major donor to Democratic campaigns and causes, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Republican Women for Progress, a Washington, D.C.-based "grassroots" nonprofit, was founded by Jennifer Pierotti Lim and Meghan Milloy and is comprised of "right-leaning" women who are opposed to President Donald Trump. The group has garnered glowing national media profiles that include a ten-minute segment on CBS News and articles in publications such as Glamour, Slate, and others.
The group is so far active in competitive congressional districts in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Michigan.
"We think the best thing that we can do for the party and for the country right now is to make sure there are good women—Democrat or Republican—that are elected to office and who can serve as a check on this administration and on the president," Milloy told the Detroit Metro Times. "[This effort] really was inspired by us talking to Republican women in these districts where they said there was just no way that they could vote for the Republican."
The group established a political action committee, the Republican Women for Progress PAC, on Sept. 13 to support their work for the midterms and has since spent $231,000 on independent expenditures for voter recruitment and advertisement productions in the toss-up districts in three states.
The PAC disbursed $76,000 on ads and recruitment in support of Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey's 11th congressional district, $78,000 backing Amy McGrath in Kentucky's 6th congressional district, and $77,000 on Elissa Slotkin in Michigan's 8th congressional district.
The PAC's October quarterly filing—the first from the group—also shows that the group of Republican women is bankrolled by just one donor: Reid Hoffman, a venture capitalist and co-founder of LinkedIn, who is a major donor to Democrats. Hoffman cut a $400,000 to the PAC on Sept. 27, its filings show.
Hoffman has pushed millions into the coffers of Democratic committees and campaigns this cycle.
Hoffman provided $3 million to the House Majority PAC, a PAC closely affiliated with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) that is focused on electing and keeping Democrats in the House of Representatives; $2 million to the Senate Majority PAC, a PAC dedicated to electing and preserving Democrats in the Senate; and $1 million to Forward Majority Action, a group launched by former Obama alumni.
Hoffman also sent a maxed contribution to the Democratic National Committee and pushed cash to the campaigns of Democratic Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Tim Kaine (Va.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Bob Casey (Pa.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Phil Bredesen (Tenn.), and Tammy Baldwin (Wis.) among others.
The venture capitalist additionally sent money to a number of Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives and the Massachusetts Republican Party.
The co-founders of Republican Women for Progress previously led Republican Women for Hillary during the 2016 elections. That group was featured on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Yahoo News, Wall Street Journal, the Hill, U.S News and World Report, and the New York Times.
UPDATE 1:20 P.M.: Following publication, Jennifer Lim, co-founder of Republican Women for Progress, sent the following comment:
"In terms of the Reid Hoffman donation, even a male tech billionaire and major Democratic donor recognizes the important role women should play in the Republican party. We are pleased to have the support of donors across the ideological spectrum to ensure the voice of republican women is heard across the country."

HarbourView Equity Partners continues to gobble up hip-hop and R&B music assets as it announces the acquisition of select recorded music and publishing assets of rap artist Wiz Khalifa. This deal comes on the heels of the news the firm acquired a stake in the artist royalty income stream of Nelly. Like the latter deal, terms of the Wiz deal were not disclosed, nor would a HarbourView spokesman provide details on whether the firm acquired the artist’s master recordings and publishing rights or just income streams from those assets.
According to the announcement, “assets in the deal include chart-topping titles ‘See You Again,’ ‘Black and Yellow’ and ‘The Thrill,’ and span Wiz’s prolific career across dozens of albums, mixtapes, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in entertainment.” Since his Show and Prove debut album in 2006, Khalifa’s music has generated 11.55 million album consumption units in the U.S, according to Luminate.
“Sherrese [Clarke Soares, founder and CEO of HarbourView] and HarbourView truly understand the value of music and artistry,” Khalifa said in a statement. “We are excited to partner with them as they continue to build a dynamic media company that is in line with the values and goals we all have here at Taylor Gang.”
HarbourView’s announcement stated, “Wiz maintains an active and far-reaching career across media and entertainment, as he parlayed his musical success into an entertainment empire that spans a variety of businesses and media genres, including ownership of independent record, management company and lifestyle brand – Taylor Gang.”
“Wiz Khalifa has already made a profound impact on culture as a musician, executive, media visionary and creative force,” Clarke Soares said in a statement. “We celebrate his talent and creativity and are thrilled to welcome him and Taylor Gang to the HarbourView family today.”
HarbourView describes itself as a “multi-strategy, global investment firm focused on investment opportunities in the entertainment and media space” and says its asset portfolio covers both master recordings and publishing income streams and includes over 20,000 song titles, representing numerous genres. Beyond its music asset investments, press reports say a HarbourView-led consortium is among bidders competing to buy a majority stake in BET Media Group Paramount global.

It Has To Be This Way
Book, 12.9 x 19.7 cm, 126 p, language: English, publisher: Matt's Gallery, London, ISBN: 978 0 907623 64 9.
Materials: ink, paper
Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. B 2024/780).
It Has To Be This Way is a work about multiplicity. Voices and places proliferate as the narrative becomes decentred and spreads across time and space; literally, through the installation of the work, but also in its form and content. Differing viewpoints and testimonies shift the fulcrum of interpretation as characters both living and dead act through one another. The work takes us on several journeys by treating history as something that is not fixed but continually reconfigured in the present. There is no clear distinction between personal history and wider historical truths in the work. Following chains of associations and chance encounters, everything seems connected but meaning is never resolved; it exists in flux somewhere between the fragments. From a tangle of manuscripts, research notes and a fateful box of photographs, artist Lindsay Seers tries to make sense of her step-sister’s strange and desperate variant of Tarot, in which photographs become a means of divination. Her search for her missing sibling takes her to the Vatican Library in Rome, where Queen Christina of Sweden's manuscripts may hold the key to Christine’s mysterious disappearance to Uppsala in Sweden. As the photographs are translated through both an excess and a lack of memory, the characters who interpret them move fluidly across interlocking histories. The photographs themselves become destabilised by their shifting context and the interpretative nuances of their users. Christine’s fate hangs on the exegetical battle between two narrators, locked in a struggle for the truth of the photographs, but in the end it is photographic truth itself that is at stake.
Relation of the novel to the artist’s practice
The books are an integral part of the exhibition It Has To Be This Way and were distributed free of charge in the gallery space. The books are not ancillary to the exhibition but an element of a system in which the exhibited parts are co-dependent. The book, building and film are generated from a system whereby a series of photographs are chosen from a collection of the artist and her family by protagonists who themselves were selected by the artist on the finding of a dead bee. These images form the narrative structure of the film and book and the installation. Everything is entwined but the novel which would be read after the exhibition in a different place/time inevitably calls on and alters the memory of the film's narrative.

The 25-year-old "will be taking a break from the competitive circuit" as soon as a new fifth player is announced, Cloud9 added.
This is the second time that Skadoodle has decided to leave Cloud9's active roster this year. In March, he stepped down from the team, only to return two weeks later, after Jake "Stewie2K" Yip had been transferred to SK.
A former member of Curse and iBUYPOWER, Skadoodle signed for Cloud9 in April 2015 and most notably helped the team to first-place finishes at the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals and at ELEAGUE Major Boston 2018.
He was named the 20th best player in the world in 2015 but struggled to reach the same heights in the following years, averaging a 1.06 rating on LAN in 2016 and a 1.02 rating in both 2017 and 2018.
“I am taking a break from competitive CS:GO," the player wrote. "I would like to thank the fans and Cloud9 for their support these past years and I wish the CS:GO team the best of luck.”
The announcement leaves Cloud9 on the lookout for a new player ahead of their next LAN event, BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, which will be held from November 2-3. The North American team currently sit in fifth place in the ESL Pro League, with three victories in six games, while in ECS they are currently second, with a 7-3 record.
Cloud9 currently have:
Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham (inactive)
Soham "valens" Chowdhury (coach)

Is Mappillai Samba Rice Really Beneficial For Diabetes
Mappillai Samba rice is red in color. There are a lot of carbs in this rice, just like in all other kinds. The rice's dietary fiber makes metabolism simpler. The amount of vitamin B1 in rice assists in treating mouth andstomach ulcers. It also includes a massive portion of micronutrients, which assist in the uptake of all other nutrient content.
Due to the fact that less glucose blends into the blood than the rice "Kuruvai" does and that it does not combine as easily or quickly as the other rice, it is strongly recommended for diabetics and also lessens cholesterol. Kids also should use it as it helps promote stronger growth.
As a great source of both iron and zinc, it tends to raise the blood's hemoglobin content. The veins, musculature, nerves, and plasma are all bolstered and nourished by it. Hemiplegia and other vein-related situations are fixable. The body's opposition and stamina will also boost, which adds to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
This element of the rice found in mappillai samba aids in the diagnosis of both type 1 and 2 diabetes by reducing high cholesterol andhyperglycemia. It is packed with phosphorus iron, molybdenum, manganese, zinc, and magnesium. Red rice from Mappila reinforces the nerves and muscles. Its dietary fiber reduces the likelihood of cancer from high cholesterol.
Due to its low glycemic index, it is very helpful for diabetes patients. The hand-pounded rice from Mappilai samba has a high fiber content that is simple to metabolize. Since this rice includes little sodium, it encourages a healthy lifestyle. All ages are advised to eat the recommended mappillai samba rice.

Industry officials say with confidence that 7.3 million jobs will disappear if the Obama administration goes through with tighter rules to reduce smog. The industry-sponsored researcher who came up with that number isn't so sure.
"There's uncertainty around that," economist Don Norman said of the "shockingly high" job loss number he extrapolated using a study sponsored by the oil and natural gas industry's American Petroleum Institute and covering just 11 states.
"Even if the numbers are half of that, the number is huge," he said.

Wonderful: Obama's Strangling EPA Regulations Could Cost Another 7.3 Million Jobs
I have no idea how he'll blame Bush for any of this, but rest assured, he'll try. They says his is a historic presidency. By the time his term is up he'll have presided over the loss of at least 10 million jobs. Indeed, that's historic. Making matters worse, he doesn't even care.
