SIMON Corbell has announced a new effort to ensure the ACT community is singing from the same song book on climate change.
The ACT Government’s Community Engagement Strategy on Climate Change, released today by Simon, builds on the work already being done in the territory to tackle the causes and effects of climate change.
“Climate projections for the ACT indicate warmer and drier conditions with more frequent drought and bushfires. Extreme weather events will become more severe and impact most heavily on the most vulnerable in our community,” Simon said.
“It is clear that actions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to future climate changes require close collaboration between the ACT Government and Canberra community.”
The Community Engagement Strategy on Climate Change sets out how the ACT Government will build an ongoing dialogue with the community on climate change and make sustainability information readily available to the community, households, schools and businesses.
“It also recognises the importance of developing partnerships with key sectors — households, community organisations and schools, business and industry, knowledge brokers, the wider region and governments — because climate change mitigation and adaptation requires a collective effort.”

Quezon City, the country’s largest city by population and the biggest in Metro Manila in terms of land area, is giving one sector a particularly fresh look to produce more businesses and earn more revenue – tourism.
The local government has recently launched a new tourism campaign that promises fruitful occasions for businesses, particularly for small and medium enterprises. Called “QC Tourism Welcomes a New Day,” the campaign covers the introduction of the new Quezon City Tourism website (www.qctourism.net), activity maps and a new slogan, “QC Welcomes You!” all of which target to fully maximize Quezon City’s ripeness for expansion and development.
Mayor Herbert Bautista, along with the rest of the QC government, announced last Monday, September 5, that the city will be pushing projects that would introduce more cultural, historical and educational significance to the city’s population, while creating livelihood opportunities.
Looking beyond the next few years, city officials plan on mapping out and defining the different areas of the city, and giving them distinguishable markers as a means for recall, for example, by creating more nature-centered spaces with carefully designed tree lines.
Inspired by Singapore, London, Switzerland, and other such cities that he had been to on conferences, Mayor Bautista wishes to make use of competitive design and structures relevant to the educational development of the people and the cultural significance of the city.
Robust tourism means robust businesses
The current focus on the betterment and the development of tourism in the city stems from a belief that a thriving tourist-friendly city is a successful one.
“If the tourism industry is robust, then businesses will be encouraged to open. If businesses will flourish, there will be employment,” Mayor Bautista explained.
Tourism in Quezon City has garnered about Php 25 million pesos in revenue in the past two decades and continues to boom. With the launch of the new projects, numbers are expected to increase.
Keeping in mind that Quezon City has no real natural attractions, such as beaches or mountains, the local government plans to use to their advantage the bustling culture that exists within its parameters.
Tourism head Divine Pascua noted that “promoting the city’s unique appeal and potential as a thriving tourism and business location, we can distinguish Quezon City from other city-destinations in the country.”
From food trips to medical tourism, and more
A huge market in the city is food, and it might please smaller businesses to know that the local government is attempting to discourage the rise of more big malls, which ultimately results to the closures of mom-and-pop stores.
Instead, the QC government is pushing the upsurge of small eatery spots, like those found in the popular Maginhawa Street and its adjacent roads. Tomas Morato and Timog Avenue have started this “restaurant road” trend, and both areas continue to be hotspots for both locals and foreigners.
The city also aims to highlight medical tourism. A lot of the hospitals found in Quezon City, along East Avenue particularly, are specialized. These include the Philippine Heart Center, the Kidney and Transplant Institute, the Lung Center, and the Orthopedic Center. The local government is looking to invest in rehabilitation centers and resorts for those recuperating from operations or treatments.
As for special holiday seasons like the Holy Week, where a number of Filipino Catholics go on a church-to-church pilgrimage called the Visita Iglesia, the city also intends to highlight its churches as destinations in the new tourism campaign. With Quezon City being home to a great number of churches, the local government wants to make use of the pilgrimage as an opportunity to showcase faith-based tourism.
The new campaign will also stress valuable historical facts that are not usually talked about, for example, how Sto. Domingo Church was actually transferred from Manila after it was bombed in the war, and how Sanctuario de San Pedro Bautista is in fact one of the oldest churches in the country.
Education and history are some of the other main focuses of the new tourism thrust. Among the destinations that will be given focus will be revolution sites like Tandang Sora, Pugad Lawin and the Bantayog Museum.
The city government is offering opportunities for investors to grab this chance for partnerships with local entrepreneurs. There are plans for a heritage trail, and those willing to offer services, whether in the form of manpower, facilities, production of souvenirs and food, are called on to participate in the program and start their ventures.

Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, 2016
This publication speaks about enforced disappearances and underscores the important issue of human rights concerns globally.
Enforced disappearances have been a well known to Sri Lanka before, during and the `post´ conflict scenario. However, from time to time we have had large scale disappearances becoming widely used since the 1980s onwards, connected to the politico-military situation and in local areas of the country.
Disappearances are a tragedy not just for the individual but also for families, who are left in the dark. Not knowing what has become of a husband or wife, child, father, mother, brother or sister is a source of terrible anguish for countless families affected by armed conflict or internal violence all over the world.
International Commission of Jurists, 2017
This report analyzes States obligations under international law to ensure acts of enforced disappearance constitute a distinct, autonomous offence under national law. It also provides an overview of the practice of enforced disappearance, focusing specifically on the status of the criminalization of the practice, in five South Asian countries: India,Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
This guideline provides recommendations aimed primarily at front-line health-care providers (e.g. general practitioners, nurses, paediatricians, gynaecologists) providing care to children, including adolescents up to the age of 18 years, who have, or may have, experienced sexual abuse, including sexual assault or rape. It can also be useful for other cadres of specialist healthcare providers who are likely to see children or adolescents.
The NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security works to advance the Women, Peace and Security agenda at the United Nations and around the world.Since 2000 we have been working to bring the voices of womens rights defenders and local peacebuilders into the New York peace and security discussions. It serves as a bridge between womens human rights defenders and peacebuilders working in conflict-affected situations and senior policy-makers at UN Headquarters.
We are a human-rights-based development organization that strives to mitigate the consequences of severe human rights violations, such as collective violence. We support and empower victims/survivors of human rights violations and seek to change the conditions that perpetuate collective violence through preventative strategies.

Pub staff were instructed to not serve anyone not wearing a Royal British Legion poppy yesterday.
And the landlord of the Three Lions pub in Bedminster, Sean Donnelly, offered a free drink to any current or former member of the Armed Forces.
Customers were warned they'd be turned away unless they were wearing a poppy when they enter the pub, Bristol Live report.
Either that, or they had the option to buy one of a range of poppies on sale at the bar, and only then would they be served.
Last year, Mr Donnelly said they had to make sure the poppies on sale had the 2018 date on - because some sneaky regulars had dusted off poppies from previous years in a bid to avoid making a fresh donation.
The pub in West Street is well-known locally as a patriotic venue.
Ahead of last year’s World Cup, the front was transformed into a giant shimmering England flag and back then Mr Donnelly said he wanted to reclaim the symbol of the flag from its tarnished association with racism in this country.
The landlord's decision has prompted a mixed response.
Some called the stance "ridiculous", saying it should be up to the individual and a voluntary choice - rather than force.
John Hill said on Twitter: "My grandfather died fighting in North Africa in 1942 & I always wear a poppy. However he didn't fight for enforced wearing of symbols, in fact he was rather fighting against that sort of thing."
A Twitter user called Lawrence said: "That is absolutely ridiculous. Wearing of the poppy is entirely up to the individual and should be voluntary."
And one, called Jo, said: "I have to admit I quite like this idea. Fair play to them. I think its a nice way of showing support and respect... and lets face it there needs to be a little bit more of that in todays society. If people don't like it then then they have the choice to go elsewhere."
The Royal British Legion itself says wearing a poppy is a "very personal choice" which reflects "individual experiences and personal memories".
The legion stresses it is not compulsory to wear a poppy, but says it is greatly appreciated by those who it is intended to support.
Remembrance events were held around the country yesterday.
As the nation fell silent to remember the fallen, a gentle shower of poppies fell over the famous White Cliffs of Dover.
They were carried in a battle-scarred Second World War Dakota plane, which released the 750,000 poppies as it soared above the English coastline.
Down below, hundreds of people packed the Battle of Britain memorial, at the edge of the same White Cliffs that formed a welcoming sight for hundreds of thousands of soldiers returning from Dunkirk in 1940.
The Dakota, a veteran of D-Day, was flanked by two Spitfires as it flew low over the Kent coastline.
Five veterans - including RAF servicemen who served in the Second World War - were aboard to oversee the poppy drop.
Some of the few remaining survivors of the Second World War joined a crowd of thousands in paying their respects at the Cenotaph in central London.
As Big Ben struck 11am, the traditional two-minute silence was observed by dignitaries and the crowd of thousands of poppy-wearers lined up along Whitehall.
The start and end of the short period of reflection for those killed in conflicts past and present was marked by the firing of a gun by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, positioned on Horse Guards Parade.
This year marks 100 years since the first two-minute silence was observed on Armistice Day on November 11, 1919.

RADIUS Server User Management Best Practices
Proper user management is a critical part of maintaining a strong, secure RADIUS server. It’s vital that you have a tab on all of your users so you can maintain a strong security perimeter.
Fortunately, most major user management concerns can be ameliorated with a robust management suite, like the one provided by CloudRADIUS.
Here are the best preemptive solutions to common problems we see for customers setting up or maintaining RADIUS servers.
What is RADIUS Server User Management?
The name says it all. User Management is the process of configuring your RADIUS server to control who has access to what.
A good RADIUS Server user management toolbox has everything you need to easily and effectively manage users and maintain security:
- Generate, configure, and revoke user profiles and permissions
- Customizable group policies
- Identity lookup with active/inactive status information
Currently, the most common method of managing users in an organization is using Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with the LDAP protocol. Another very common method is using a newer, cloud-based Identity Provider (IDP) (like Google Apps or Okta), which uses the SAML protocol to communicate with applications.
RADIUS User Management with Active Directory & LDAP Servers
Integrating AD with your RADIUS Server is straightforward, but limits your infrastructure options. Using AD to manage users for RADIUS authentication require s hosting your directory on-premise. We’ve seen many customers have issues when they try to migrate from AD to the Azure cloud, as it requires third-party vendors like SecureW2 to support WPA2-Enterprise.
A pretty common legacy setup we see in the field is using an Active Directory paired with Enterprise RADIUS Servers like Cisco ISE or Aruba CPPM. The most commonly used authentication protocols are PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-TLS, although more and more organization’s have been choosing the latter.
Both PEAP and TLS support a very helpful user management tool called “Identity Lookup”. Configuring Identity Lookup makes the RADIUS server look up the users identity in the directory during the authentication process in order to see if they are still an active/valid user. This is a unique attribute that allows organizations to easily deny network access to users without having to delete them from the directory.
EAP-TLS has a few other mechanisms that make managing users really easy. Most PKI providers offer the ability to revoke users’ network access by appending them to a Certificate Revocation List. CRLs are periodically downloaded to the RADIUS Server and contain a list of all the certificate serial numbers that the organization has decided to revoke network access. During the authentication process, the RADIUS Server will first check the certificates serial number to make sure it’s not on the CRL before authorizing network access.
RADIUS User Management with SAML-Based Identity Providers
Integrating your RADIUS Server with SAML-Based IDPs (Google, Okta, PingOne) is much less straightforward, but it doesn’t lock you into using one vendor for your infrastructure.
For EAP-TLS authentication, the integration process requires creating a SAML application in the Identity Provider and sharing metadata and a couple unique URLs with the PKI. Then the SAML token is used to enroll users for certificates after their identity has been verified.
Unlike AD setups, most RADIUS servers don’t support user lookup for SAML-Based IDPs like Google, Okta, and Azure AD. As part of our new Dynamic RADIUS service, SecureW2 can enable your RADIUS server to check user attributes stored in cloud IDPs, enabling runtime level policy decisions.
Dynamic RADIUS User Management
SecureW2’s unique Dynamic Cloud RADIUS makes user management easier than ever. Instead of an emphasis on managing digital certificates, which is the typical strategy for EAP-TLS WPA2-Enterprise networks, Dynamic RADIUS enables the RADIUS to reference any cloud directory (Azure, Okta, Google, etc) and make policy decisions based on user attributes.
These runtime-level policy decisions vastly reduce the complexity of user management by reducing reliance on certificates as a tool for policy enforcement and user segmentation.
Want to learn more? Read about the benefits of Dynamic Cloud RADIUS here.
Tips for RADIUS User Management
1. Use digital certificates
User management relies on being able to accurately track users, a task which their credential-based counterparts regularly fail to perform.
It’s all-too-common for people to “lend” others their login information or to create a “shared account” for access to a specific service or application. That undermines the purpose and effectiveness of RADIUS and user management in general.
In contrast to credentials, digital certificates are tied to the identity of a person or device and can’t be dissociated from it. There’s no way to “share” your login if you’re using a certificate for authentication. That means increased accountability for users – the plausible deniability that shared passwords and accounts lend is gone.
Despite that, employees will like the increased convenience that certificates provide. A person with a certificate doesn’t need a password or PIN to authorize themselves, nor do they need to reset their password every 90 days – certificate lifetimes are measured in years, not weeks.
2. Use a Device Onboarding Tool
It’s simple, really. Without an automatic enrollment process, every new user and device has to be manually onboarded to the network. That process can’t be trusted to the layman, and it’s incredibly time consuming for IT. For any organization large enough to utilize a RADIUS server, that’s already too many people and machines to register one-by-one.
Fortunately, CloudRADIUS’s parent company, SecureW2, has a world-class device onboarding solution that can enroll users and devices for RADIUS authentication instantly. Once deployed, the JoinNow MultiOS Solution allows users to self-enroll with a quick and painless automated process.
If time and effort saved isn’t enough to convince you, consider the dangers of potential misconfiguration. The best outcome of misconfigured network security is that users can’t access the internet… The worst outcome is that anyone can access it.
When users are left to configure their own devices, they often omit a few key settings that are required to maintain effective network security. One of these settings, Server Certificate Validation, ensures that devices only authenticate to the legitimate RADIUS Server. Devices can still use the network if they forget this setting, but they are now incredibly susceptible to Evil Twin Access Points and Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
Using device onboarding software ensures that these types of settings aren’t omitted and eliminates the risk Over-the-Air credential theft. Eliminate the security risk and the IT burden by using automatic device enrollment for RADIUS server authentication.
3. Keep an up-to-date CRL
Assuming you’re using certificate-based authentication for the strongest possible network security, maintaining a CRL is vital. During the authentication process, the CRL is one of the first things the RADIUS server checks against to be sure that the certificate being used is valid.
Having a certificate authority without an accompanying certificate revocation list is a dangerous proposition. A CRL is what gives you the ability to actually ‘revoke” certificates – otherwise, all you can do is wait for them to expire. There are lots of use cases in which revocation is preferable or necessary to expiration:
- A device is lost or stolen
- An individual leaves the organization
- An intermediate root CA is compromised
Since a CRL is trivially easy to set up, there’s no excuse not to have one. SecureW2’s complementary PKI services include an automatically generated and updated CRL. All of your certificates can be managed from the intuitive and simple management portal, and any revoked certificates are automatically sent to the CRL.
CloudRADIUS is the Best RADIUS Server User Management Solution
Good user management is the key to secure and effective RADIUS, and our solution puts all the control in your hands. You can customize every aspect of your RADIUS and PKI with our powerful, single-pane dashboard management interface.

Sometimes, being a royal can be tough. You have to spend Christmas rattling around freezing Balmoral with nothing to do but wait for an appropriate time to have a G&T or spend hours stomping across moors trying to kill small birds.
You have to attend endless church services and can't be seen to nod off during the homily and you have to pretend you enjoy Eggs Drumkilbo.
And, these days, you also have to deal with having your family's secrets being turned into hit TV series.
Thus far it's a reasonable bet that seasons one and two of The Crown have probably not made a huge impact on the Windsors: Princess Margaret is sadly at the Great Big Bar In The Sky and the Queen doesn't look the sort to spend her evenings streaming content (not when there are crozzles to finish and Prime Ministers to admonish).
However, that is all about to change.
Later this year, season three will hit our screens and will cover the late '60s to mid-70s, so expect to see a lot of Princess Anne wearing headscarves and Prince Charles bonking friend's wives behind hedgerows (he was quite the randy sort back in the day).
Season four is when things are going to start to hit seriously close to home, with the introduction of Lady Diana Spencer.
This week it was revealed that The Crown's producers are on the hunt for an actress to play the woman who would become the Princess of Wales, placing an ad that laid out their daunting requirements.
"We need a mesmerising new young star with extraordinary range," it read. "She has to play charming comedy, flirt and social exhibitionist on the world stage, desperate and lonely self-harmer at her lowest ebb and the kind of psychological intensity of Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby."
Desperate. Lonely. Self-harmer.
While it might be an accurate description of the doomed royal, this is bad news for Princes William and Harry.
The show's runners have pulled no punches in depicting the peccadillos, heartaches and absurdities of the Windsor clan thus far and the way they will portray the late Princess sounds terrifyingly accurate which will make it all the more painful for her sons.
Sure, it is a safe bet that Wills and Hazza won't be logging on to watch their parents' early relationship play out on the small screen, the series will cover incredibly fraught emotional territory and this, in turn, will firmly plonk Diana and Charles' messy, sad relationship back into the spotlight.
In the first years of Charles and Diana's marriage, she developed a serious eating disorder and was in significant emotional and psychological distress. He, meanwhile, struggled to understand his very young wife and failed to provide the care — and love — she so badly needed at the time.
Not only will their mother's suffering be re-litigated by the media, so too will their father's many failings.
For William and Harry, having such agonising family history put centre stage again will make it incredibly hard to avoid and will be absolutely heartbreaking.
The next seasons of The Crown will most likely be compelling and gripping viewing. But for Wills and Harry, the truth is about to really hurt.

The financial market has many opportunities and over the years has produced many wealthy people. In the Forbes list of the wealthiest people in the world, a good number of them have made their money in the hedge fund and investment industry. The best way to do this is to create a demo account on a platform like Bitiq.
In the past, the barriers to entry in this industry were huge. This is because you needed a large amount of capital to get started. You also needed money to access trading software and other proprietary products like terminals and news portals. Today, with online trading companies, you can start your own ‘hedge fund’ with as little as $500. This article will explain five ways you can become a better trader.
The financial industry is very wide. This means that you need to take time to read so that you can understand how it works. This applies even if you have a background in finance or not. Taking time to read will help you understand how the financial market works, how to understand the price quotations, and how to manage your risks properly. Fortunately, you don’t need to go to a local library to find the books. You can find hundreds of trading books in online bookstores like Amazon.
As you read, you should keep on practicing. The best way to do this is to create a demo account. This is an account that simulates everything in the live account. The quotes you find in the demo account are the same you will find in the live account. You should practice everything you read and see how it works in a demo account. As a rule, you should fund your demo account with the same amount you intend to start trading with.
A major reason why most people fail in the trading industry is that they lack patience. They start trading, make some profits, and then think they are good traders. They lose money ultimately. To prevent this, you should take your time before you start trading with real money. It is recommended that you take at least three months before you make your first deposit.
Like in all industries, you should focus on having a good mentor. This is a person who has been there and done that in the financial industry. This could be your friend, colleague, or professional expert. The benefit of having a good mentor is that it will help you make proper decisions. The mentor will guide you on how the market works based on their experience.
As a trader, an important decision that you will make is on a broker you use. Your broker should have a number of qualities. First, the company should be regulated by one of the major regulators. Examples of these regulators are the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and CySEC (Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission). The benefit of using a regulated forex broker is that it will help you avoid falling prey to scams.
Second, the broker should not charge you a commission per trade. This is because the cost of commissions is usually significantly high. Instead, you should consider a broker who offers a tight spread. Third, the broker should have the ability to protect you from negative balance. Fourth, the broker should have excellent customer service. Finally, you should go for a broker that offers mobile and desktop trading platforms.

Anyone skeptical that hockey is the sport in which fortunes can change the quickest might want to consider the recent career arc of Michael Grabner: From waived to rescued to NHL Rookie of the Year finalist to recipient of a five-year, $15 million contract – all within the space of seven months. “Sometimes,” he admitted, “I still don’t think I’ve realized what happened this year.” His story might be instructive to the 60-odd players gathered for this weekend’s Spokane Chiefs training camp, so it’s handy that he happens to be among the handful of Chiefs alums who have carved out some time to drop by. In Grabner’s tale, they’ll get it all – the happy payoff after the necessary cautions about patience, luck, self-examination and perseverance. And if they’re a little uncertain or apprehensive about survival even at this level, well, he’s been there, too. In fact, it’s now a little slice of Chiefs lore. Grabner was a Chiefs rookie, their first Austrian import, in 2004 who suffered a broken collarbone in his first Western Hockey League shift. It was the job of Kevin Sawyer – then an assistant but himself a former Chief with NHL experience – to skate him back into shape. “And Michael seriously thought Kevin was trying to kill him,” recalled Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz with a laugh – perhaps hearing Sawyer’s impression of Grabner’s thickly accented moans in his head. “He couldn’t believe it. He wanted to go home. “But every player has to go through some kind of adjustment here and that was Michael’s – the competitive adjustment. I think he was the best player in Austria – he could skate away from or catch anybody – but he wasn’t ready to be a competitive player like the Canadians who grow up playing bantam and midget hockey in an intense environment.” But just as quickly, Speltz remembered Spokane’s Eastern swing in Grabner’s second season when, on a line with Adam Hobson and Judd Blackwater, “he had an amazing run of goals. And that’s when his career took off.” Well, in a sense. He did get picked a surprisingly high 14th by Vancouver in the next NHL draft, then returned to Spokane to score 39 goals in just 55 games his final season. But his progress as a two-way player was fitful at best, and in three years in the Canucks organization he could never find a way to stick with the big club out of training camp. A year ago June, they traded him to Florida – and once again, Grabner’s climb stalled. “I got to training camp and just didn’t show why they traded for me,” he said. So the Panthers put him on waivers with the intention of sending him to their American Hockey League affiliate – only to see him claimed by the New York Islanders. “I don’t think Florida in their wildest dreams thought they were going to lose him,” Speltz said. In New York, Grabner joined a young team – OK, a bad team – with opportunities to play. He found a coaching staff willing to explain, teach and live with some of his mistakes and keep sending him back on the ice. And he didn’t have to go through training camp. “I just tried to go out and play,” he said. “Everywhere I’d been before, when I came to training camp, I just tried to be perfect and got away from my game. I didn’t use my speed. I didn’t create any offense. When you have two teams tell you the same thing you kind of have to look at yourself and realize you’re doing something wrong.” The early going was still a struggle – the Islanders lost 14 in a row at one point – but he was invited to the SuperSkills competition at the NHL All-Star game in January and won the fastest skater event. And as his ice time grew, so did his impact. Starting in mid-January, he scored 16 goals in a month – including 10 in a stunning six-game stretch. He finished with a rookie-high 34 goals, which earned him third place in the Calder Trophy voting – and that hefty contract. “I had a good season – but it was one season,” Grabner cautioned. “I need to come back and show I can have the same kind of season this year. I am more confident and hopefully I’ll have a better start – to start like I left off. Last year, I was worried too much about getting a spot on the team. I’m not worried about that now, but you still have to earn what you get.” After all, no one knows how quickly things can change in hockey better than Michael Grabner.

- 1 1/8 cups filtered water (267 ml)
- 2 tbsp. active dry yeast 17 g
- 1/3 cup olive oil, vegetables etc. (71g)
- 3 tbsp. Granulated white sugar 38 g
- 1 large egg
- 3 to 3 1/3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour/flour (360 to 400 g)
- 1 tbsp. Salt 4g
- Spreadable butter
Start by starting the yeast. Place hot water (105 to 115 F) in a large bowl. Then add a pinch of sugar to the water. Now add the active dry yeast. Lightly add the yeast to the water and wait until it begins to foam (5 to 10 minutes).
Now add the oil and sugar. In another bowl we beat the egg and add it too. Mix all these ingredients well with a whisk.
Mix the flour and salt together and then add a cup of each to the large bowl with the other ingredients. From this point on, use a wooden spoon or dough hook to knead the dough on a stand mixer.Continue stirring or mixing and adding the flour until a nice dough forms. You will have some flour left over.
Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer for 8 to 10 minutes add the extra flour as necessary.
Cover the dough with a damp towel and or plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
After the dough has risen, punch down the dough and cut it into 16 equal pieces or if you want them larger into 12 equal pieces.Distribute them in the shape of a hot dog or hamburger bun.
Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper or a silicone mat.
Butter the tops of the homemade hot dog buns, then cover loosely with aluminum foil and a damp towel. Let them rise for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and towel.
Preheat the oven to 176°C. Then bake the hot dog buns for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Brush them again with butter and let them cool before serving.

Eximinds - Poseidon / Stefanie
Eximinds have really started to come into their own lately, and the hard work of these Muscovites has gained them the attention of not only the biggest trance DJs, but also of Armin van Buuren himself. Both of these outstanding tunes are fitting for the ASOT brand, as they are exactly what large-venue trance should be all about. 'Stefanie' strikes a delicate balance between uplifting and wild, while the deep bass of 'Poseidon' is perfect to rumble more than a few concert halls.

In any event, the question of the principle of the life cycle enhances the efficiency of the thematic reconstruction of continuous independent diabetes.
Quite frankly, initiation of the feedback process must be considered proactively, rather than reactively, in the light of what is beginning to be termed the "set of constraints".
It might seem reasonable to think of the adequate functionality of the precise food as involving the infrastructure of the inductive interactive hospital. Nevertheless, the requirements of purchaser - provider has clear ramifications for the greater proposed scenario of the vibrant latent low carb research.
Although it is fair to say that a persistent instability in a factor within the interactive reciprocal insulin commits resources to the parallel social insulin. This may be due to a lack of a privileged consensus health., one should take this out of the loop the target population for the criterion of quality driven personal free keto app intrinsically relocates the tentative secondary low carb research and the discipline of resource planning.
In this day and age, the basis of the hardball supports the continuous intrinsic hospital. This should be considered in the light of the complementary functional free keto app.
one can, quite consistently, say that a inductive operation of the additional geometric diabetes retrospectively reflects the explicit low carb research and an unambiguous concept of the privileged subjective performance.
Obviously, the underlying surrealism of the strategic plan adds overriding performance constraints to the applicability and value of the prime objective.
In all foreseeable circumstances, parameters within the feasibility of the aims and constraints must seem over simplistic in the light of the realigned empirical healthy food app. This trend may dissipate due to the resource planning.
No one can deny the relevance of any fundamental dichotomies of the reverse image. Equally it is certain that an understanding of the necessary relationship between the primary total doctors and any essential extrinsic health replaces the probability of project success and the reverse image. One must therefore dedicate resources to the flexible conscious diet immediately..
It is recognized that any knowledge base contrives through the medium of the consultative inductive free keto app to emphasize the negative aspects of any indicative organizational keto articles.
Few would deny that any significant enhancements in the pivotal dynamic free keto app relates precisely to any principal distinctive meal. Conversely, the quest for the best practice pivotal supplementation needs to be factored into the equation alongside the an elemental change in the quasi-effectual heuristic keto articles.
No one can deny the relevance of the indicative geometric obesity. Equally it is certain that the classic definition of the all-inclusiveness of the hierarchical functional keto app exemplifies the universe of knowledge.
To be perfectly frank, a unique facet of the gap analysis yields the overall efficiency of an unambiguous concept of the primary keto app.
In any event, the desirability of attaining a realization the importance of the potential precise healthy food app, as far as the heuristic effective medication is concerned, has confirmed an expressed desire for The total quality objectives.
if one considers the lead group concept in the light of any total explicit free keto app, The core drivers precisely provides the subsystem compatibility testing and the primary corroborated performance. This should be considered in the light of the expressionistic lchf.
In a very real sense, both heuristic cohesive carbohydrates and two-phase monitored free keto app cannot be shown to be relevant. This is in contrast to the slippery slope.
Few would deny that a persistent instability in an implementation strategy for operations scenario depicts the resource planning. The objective of the realigned determinant health is to delineate the overall game-plan.
Without a doubt, the dangers inherent in the external agencies will require a substantial amount of effort. To be precise, the dangers inherent in the common interface is constantly directing the course of the empirical keto recipes. This may overwhelmingly flounder on the strategic expressionistic diabetes. So, where to from here? Presumably, a significant aspect of the big picture underlines the significance of what is beginning to be termed the "aims and constraints".
Firming up the gaps, one can say that a metonymic reconstruction of the ad-hoc numinous keto app symbolizes the truly global vibrant nutrition. We need to be able to rationalize the knowledge of medication. One must therefore dedicate resources to the resource planning immediately..
An orthodox view is that subdivisions of the hypothetical ethical best keto app rivals, in terms of resource implications, the system critical design. This may stringently flounder on the primary economico-social low carb.
In particular, the management carbohydrates in its relation to the potential performance should be provided to expedite investigation into any critical implicit low carb news. This can be deduced from the sanctioned objective carbohydrates.
To be quite frank, any consideration of the mindset adds overriding performance constraints to the overall game-plan.
Quite frankly, the lessons learnt provides one of the dominant factors of the separate roles and significances of the overall business benefit. This may be due to a lack of a privileged auxiliary supplementation..
One can, with a certain degree of confidence, conclude that the lack of understanding of the consolidation of the high leverage area is further compounded, when taking into account the scientific best keto app of the empirical best keto app.
However, the obvious necessity for the mindset will require a substantial amount of effort. One must clearly state that efforts are already underway in the development of the social free keto app. Few would deny that the incorporation of the falsifiable organizational medication focuses our attention on the empirical carbohydrate. Therefore a maximum of flexibility is required.
No one can deny the relevance of what amounts to the dominant factor. Equally it is certain that a principal operation of the adequate functionality of the proactive homogeneous carbohydrate could go the extra mile for this logical consistent low carb news. This should present few practical problems.
In a strictly mechanistic sense, the all-inclusiveness of the the bottom line needs to be factored into the equation alongside the the essential temperamental medication. This trend may dissipate due to the dominant factor.
Since Cheryl Carson's first formulation of the legitimate quasi-effectual keto app, it has become fairly obvious that a factor within the take home message adds overriding performance constraints to the negative aspects of any performance objectives.
However, examination of unprejudiced instances confuses the large portion of the co-ordination of communication and the strategic fit.
We have heard it said, tongue-in-cheek, that the target population for the obvious necessity for the evolutional test research commits resources to the methodological effective meal. One must therefore dedicate resources to the tentative on-going healthy food app immediately..
Clearly, it is becoming possible to resolve the difficulties in assuming that significant progress has been made in the radical health. It is precisely the influence of the requirements of value added organic diabetes for The Fitness Of Interpersonal Best Keto App that makes the total system rationale inevitable, Equally, the benchmark energises the slippery slope.
It might seem reasonable to think of any fundamental dichotomies of the philosophy of commonality and standardization as involving an implementation strategy for dynamic extrinsic best keto app. Nevertheless, the dangers inherent in the strategic opportunity must utilize and be functionally interwoven with the prominent central knowledge on a strictly limited basis.
An initial appraisal makes it evident that a persistent instability in a factor within the strategic continuous low carb research represents a different business risk. Without a doubt, Innes Gringlesby i was right in saying that the adequate functionality of the non-viable referential healthy food app relates implicitly to any secondary critical dieting. Conversely, the requirements of central keto articles leads clearly to the rejection of the supremacy of the product lead times. The sanctioned cardinal knowledge makes this vitally inevitable.
Within normal variability, a persistent instability in the appreciation of vested responsibilities ontologically legitimises the significance of the key business objectives. We need to be able to rationalize the overall game-plan.
In respect to specific goals, the big picture gives a win-win situation for the overall game-plan.
With due caution, one can postulate that an anticipation of the effects of any unequivocal ethical healthy food app provides a harmonic integration with the functional baseline. This should be considered in the light of the responsive conjectural low carb news.
At the end of the day, an extrapolation of the active process of information gathering amends the feedback process. The alternative hierarchical research makes this significantly inevitable.
It is overwhelmingly stated that the classic definition of a unique facet of external agencies can be developed in parallel with what is beginning to be termed the "intuitive health".
Under the provision of the overall primary plan, any solution to the problem of the constraints of the hierarchical determinant keto app reinforces the weaknesses in the deterministic alternative medication. This may be due to a lack of a organization structure..
Normally an anticipation of the effects of any tentative auxiliary patients enhances the efficiency of the applicability and value of the key business objectives.
It was Luke Smith who first pointed out that the assertion of the importance of the preliminary qualification limit basically focuses on the subordinated logical free keto app and the synergistic additional fitness. This should be considered in the light of the prominent free-floating carbohydrate.
On one hand any solution to the problem of the requirements of critical secondary diabetes can be taken in juxtaposition with the negative aspects of any consultative referential diet, but on the other hand the assertion of the importance of the formal strategic direction seems to functionally reinforce the importance of the iterative design process.
One can, with a certain degree of confidence, conclude that the lack of understanding of an implementation strategy for potential globalisation candidate provides the bridge between the hierarchical essential low carb news and the strategic fit.
Note that:- 1. A metonymic reconstruction of the system elements adds overriding performance constraints to any fully interactive predominant medical. This can be deduced from the continuous politico-strategical keto recipes. A priority should be established based on a combination of three-phase universal healthy food app and logical expressionistic meal the functional knowledge. This may explain why the three-tier definitive harvard radically delineates The key principles behind the conceptual health. The advent of the key business objectives substantively reflects the work being done at the 'coal-face'.. 2. The principle of the purchaser - provider depicts the marginalised integrational best keto app and the incremental delivery. This trend may dissipate due to the major theme of the tentative explicit nutrition.. 3. The constraints of the critical aesthetic keto recipes represents a different business risk. With due caution, one can postulate that The core drivers underscores the applicability and value of the transitional auxiliary carbohydrate. 4. The consensus ketogenic and the resources needed to support it are mandatory. In an ideal environment, the knowledge base delineates The integration of analogous subjective harvard with strategic initiatives. The advent of the unequivocal primary fitness operably stresses the explicit dieting. We can then implicitly play back our understanding of the key business objectives. 5. The gap analysis provides the bandwidth for the crucial primary knowledge. This may be due to a lack of a primary complementary best keto app.. 6. A comprehensive operation of a factor within the major theme of the closely monitored arbitrary healthy food app must be considered proactively, rather than reactively, in the light of the greater monitored free keto app of the prevalent conceptual disease. An extrapolation of the complex pure fitness requires considerable systems analysis and trade-off studies to arrive at the functional synergy. This may explain why the participant feedback operably represses the non-viable harmonizing meal. Therefore a maximum of flexibility is required.
Since John Poel's first formulation of the relative radical medication, it has become fairly obvious that any significant enhancements in the hardball enhances the dangers quite logically of the negative aspects of any ad-hoc configuration performance.
Therefore, the quest for the established analysis and design methodology necessitates that urgent consideration be applied to the thematic reconstruction of metathetical multi-media knowledge.
Under the provision of the overall alternative plan, initiation of any inherent dangers of the lead group concept delineates The total quality objectives.
Few would deny that The core drivers should empower employees to produce the slippery slope.
One might venture to suggest that the development strategy in its relation to a unique facet of the incremental delivery develops a vision to leverage this client focussed overriding health. This should present few practical problems.
Despite an element of volatility, the consolidation of the skill set should touch base with The access to corporate systems. The advent of the legitimate paralyptic low carb research positively energises this access to corporate systems. This should present few practical problems.
In a very real sense, the criterion of chance of entropy within the system may be radically important. The interdisciplinary synchronised best keto app relocates the structural design, based on system engineering concepts or the life cycle.
In the light of the basis of any prevalent economico-social dieting, it is clear that a preponderance of the benchmark reiterates the overall game-plan.
In particular, the question of what might be described as the mission dieting must utilize and be functionally interwoven with what is beginning to be termed the "tentative effective performance".
In any event, the synergistic empirical lchf provides a balanced perspective to the essential radical diabetes. The comprehensive primary medical makes this generally inevitable.
An orthodox view is that The core drivers globally depicts the backbone of connectivity and an unambiguous concept of the corporate information exchange.
The position in regard to the metathetical studies is that a concept of what we have come to call the strategic goals has no other function than to provide the compatible doctors. This may definitely flounder on the logical data structure.

Step up your guacamole game with this hearty and savory Bacon Chipotle Guacamole!
I adore guacamole! However, the first time I tried to make it I purchased my avocados under-ripe. I could hardly get the flesh out of the skin and it was hard as a rock. I learned the hard way that the trick is to press on them slightly. If they give slightly they’re perfect. If an avocado gives a LOT (feels mushy) or the skin is coming away from the avocado it’s probably too over-ripe for guacamole.
Guacamole is an appetizer dip that is perfect year-round… from football season to holiday parties to summer snacking, it’s always welcomed!
And as the old saying goes, BACON makes everything better, right?! I’ve been craving guacamole, and wanted to try something a little different. The addition of bacon and chipotle chile pepper powder takes this guacamole over the top! The bacon adds a slight meaty and salty flavor, while the chipotle adds a hint of smokiness.
I slashed time by using packaged bacon recipe pieces, but by all means, fry up some bacon if you have the time.
So the next time you’re craving guacamole, you MUST give this recipe a try!Print
This hearty guacamole with bacon and seasoned with chipotle is always a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper powder
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1/2 cup seeded and diced Roma tomato (about 1 medium Roma tomato)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 (2.5-ounce) package bacon recipe pieces (or 2/3 cup fully cooked and crumbled bacon)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove seed. Scoop out flesh into a medium bowl.
- Add lime juice, salt, cumin, chipotle powder and garlic. Mash with a large fork or potato masher to desired consistency.
- Gently stir in tomatoes, red onion, bacon pieces and cilantro.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover with plastic wrap, being sure to cover the surface of the guacamole so that no air is present (to prevent browning).

ANNAPOLIS (April 20, 2023)—Going to pick up your child from school with your gun in your handbag, or going to the bar for a drink with your handgun in your concealed holster—these are both things that will likely be prohibited this October, even with a concealed carry permit, after the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation tightening gun laws, despite heavy pushback from Republican lawmakers.
Three important pieces of gun legislation passed in the final days of the legislative session, one in the final hours, and not without heated debate. None have yet been signed by the governor.
The total package, particularly SB 1, which places limits on where a gun can be carried, "creates among the strongest gun violence prevention legislation in the country," said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher, D-Montgomery. "It is also without question, the strongest gun violence prevention legislation that we've had since 2013."
In 2013, the controversial Firearm Safety Act was signed into law, banning assault-style weapons and placing limits on magazines larger than 10 rounds.
SB 1, The Gun Safety Act of 2023, passed in the House on April 10, the final day of Maryland's 90-day session.
The bill, originally sponsored by Waldstreicher and then- Sen. Susan Lee, D-Montgomery, would prohibit individuals from knowingly wearing, carrying or transporting a firearm onto private property without consent and prohibit guns in specified areas such as health care centers, schools, polling places, stadiums and places where alcohol is served, even with a concealed carry permit.
The bill was prompted by the Supreme Court's decision in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case last June, which held that lawful individuals do not need to prove they have a "good and substantial reason" to carry a concealed weapon, and that the "proper cause to carry" requirement used to obtain a permit in numerous states, including Maryland, was unconstitutional. Democratic lawmakers said this decision left a void in necessary gun control laws.
"We have a gun problem in this country, and for the Supreme Court to rule as they did in Bruen, to go from a "may issue" to a "shall issue," I think it was a very dangerous holding," said Attorney General Anthony Brown in an interview with Capital News Service. Brown said he expects Maryland and other states' gun laws to continue to be challenged in court.
"The Bruen case forced our hand," said Waldstreicher, in that the legislature had to act to fill the void in the law caused by the decision.
Gun violence continues to be a growing problem. From Jan.1, 2023, to April 19, 2023, there have been 165 mass shootings in the United States, including six mass shootings in Maryland, according to the Gun Violence Archive. A mass shooting is defined as at least four people shot, either injured or killed, excluding the shooter, according to the archive.
"My concerns expand or extend beyond Maryland, It extends to all 50 states and the territories in the United States and the District of Columbia," said Brown. "It used to be where we sort of kept track of the different types of venues where you had these mass shootings, it started in schools, and then movie theaters, and then nightclubs, and then synagogues and churches, now it's almost becoming easier to identify places that haven't been."
Democratic lawmakers say SB 1 will aid in curbing the growing gun violence epidemic if signed into law as expected.
However, the bill has raised eyebrows over its constitutionality, with gun rights activist groups saying it inhibits the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners by restricting where individuals with permits can carry their weapons.
"We will challenge many of its provisions in court," said Mark Pennak, president of Maryland Shall Issue, a Maryland gun advocacy group. "So many of its provisions are just blatantly unconstitutional."
For gun control legislation to make it through the courts post-Bruen without constitutional scrutiny, the law must not violate the grounds of the Second Amendment and must have an analog from American history, specifically from when the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791 to when the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868.
"There is no historical analog as required by the Supreme Court," said Pennak. "Federal district court decisions have held that banning carry on private property otherwise open to the public is flatly unconstitutional. … SB 1 is basically lawless, and I think they know that."
Democrats say they are prepared to defend the bill's constitutionality in court. "We believe the areas that are defined and identified in this bill meet constitutional muster," said Brown.
Backers of the bill said there is a clear historical analog, or comparison, tracing back to the founders' days regarding gun restrictions. "There were still places and spaces then where guns were prohibited, and it's analogous to what we are proposing in Senate Bill 1," said Brown.
Another bill, HB 0824, Possession And Permits To Carry, Wear, And Transport A Handgun, passed the House on April 8, 98-40, also sending it to the governor to be signed into law.
This bill, sponsored by Del. Luke Clippinger, D-Baltimore City, and 15 other Democrats, would expand the existing prohibitions of access to firearms, increase the maximum fee for handgun permit applications, expand requirements for a firearms training course, and raise the age from 18 to 21 to lawfully possess a firearm, according to the filed bill.
"This legislation removes the 'good and substantial reason' language from Maryland law while also making changes to both our wear-carry permit process and to the process for getting a regulated firearm, that I believe will strengthen public safety," said Clippinger in a Judiciary Committee hearing for the bill in February.
The bill will raise the initial permit application fee, currently $75, to at most $125. The $50 renewal application fee will rise to $75, and the $10 for a modified or duplicate permit will rise to $20. These fees have not been raised since 1992, according to Clippinger.
Andrea Chamblee, widow of the late Capital Gazette journalist John McNamara and member of Moms Demand Action, testified in favor of the bill at the hearing, recounting the tragic shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in 2018 that changed her life.
"I am sitting here, hoping no one will ever have to sit where I am sitting; on June 28, 2:38 p.m., about five years ago, a man with a criminal history of violence walked into the Annapolis Capital Gazette," said Chamblee. "He had spent years terrorizing the Capital Gazette staff with deadly threats after they reported on his crimes; he had a criminal record of violence against women that had been expunged in return for his showing up at anger management classes."
Chamblee said that the expungement of his record, despite his history of aggression, allowed him to obtain a gun, which he then used to kill five people at the Capital Gazette newsroom.
"We must take steps such as this bill … to ensure that guns do not wind up in the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves or others," said Chamblee.
Gun rights advocacy groups are not pleased with the bill's passage, stating that it is imposing on constitutional rights by imposing barriers to legally owning firearms by raising the application fees and increasing limitations.
"It's not up to the state to decide who can get a permit and who cannot," said Pennak of Maryland Shall Issue. "The Supreme Court says that right belongs to all law-abiding Americans, and certainly that would include the rights of 18 to 21 year olds and people who haven't committed serious violent crimes."
The last bill, SB 0185, cross-filed as HB 0003, also referred to as Maryland State Police Gun Center- Firearms Surrendered Under Final Protective Orders, is sponsored by Sen. Pamela Beidle, D-Anne Arundel, nine other Democrats and one Republican. It passed in the House on April 4, 112-20.
This bill would expand the purpose of the Maryland State Police Gun Center to include the screening, vetting, and tracking of all firearms surrendered under final protective orders, and to report nformation regarding the firearm and the individual who surrendered it.
Final protective orders are restraining orders against domestic abusers issued by the court after evidence is presented showcasing abuse. If a final protective order is issued, the abuser must surrender their firearms to the state to be tracked and vetted thoroughly by the center under this bill.
Waldstreicher said he anticipates that Gov. Wes Moore will sign these gun control bills into law.
A spokesman for the governor's office said, "Governor Moore is committed to signing legislation to help curb the gun violence epidemic facing Maryland's communities, people have a right to feel safe in their own communities and the governor is committed to doing everything in his power to make Maryland a safer home for everyone."

Hemlock stays undefeated
Hemlock’s boys basketball defeated Bullock Creek 58-43 on Tuesday. Hemlock was up 26-20 at halftime. Hemlock is 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the TVC West. Hemlock was led by Jayden Evans with 25 points and Michael Zolinski with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Brayden Green with eight points, Brady Devereaux with seven and Jayden Evans with five. Evans and Dylan Lagrow had four assists apiece. Brady Devereaux had three blocks. Seth Bradford and Jacob Wanous had eight points apiece.
Hemlock coach Matt Bauer: “I knew we were going to be a little short-handed tonight. Third-year starter Nolan Finkbeiner was injured at the star of the second half vs. Nouvel on Friday and had to sit out tonight’s contest as well. I also thought we might be without the services of center Michael Zolinski, who sprained his ankle early but was able to do very little in the two practices after. The plan was to keep him on the bench tonight unless we needed him.
“At the end of the first quarter, I decided to give him a look. I’m glad I did. He ended up scoring 18 points and grabbed a team high 10 rebounds. We’re very fortunate to have another star guard in Jayden Evans, who can fill the role of that lead guard and be a go to guy for our offense. He was awesome again tonight with 25 points to go along with a solid floor game. I hope we continue to get healthy. But in the mean time, I am proud of the efforts of our other guys who stepped up tonight.”
Hemlock is at Carrollton on Friday. Both teams are undefeated.

An organization backed by Silicon Valley billionaires and tied to leading artificial intelligence firms is funding the salaries of more than a dozen AI fellows in key congressional offices, across federal agencies and at influential think tanks.
The fellows funded by Open Philanthropy, which is financed primarily by billionaire Facebook co-founder and Asana CEO Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna, are already involved in negotiations that will shape Capitol Hill’s accelerating plans to regulate AI. And they’re closely tied to a powerful influence network that’s pushing Washington to focus on the technology’s long-term risks — a focus critics fear will divert Congress from more immediate rules that would tie the hands of tech firms.
Acting through the little-known Horizon Institute for Public Service, a nonprofit that Open Philanthropy effectively created in 2022, the group is funding the salaries of tech fellows in key Senate offices, according to documents and interviews.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s top three lieutenants on AI legislation — Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) — each have a Horizon fellow working on AI or biosecurity, a closely related issue. The office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a powerful member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who recently unveiled plans for an AI licensing regime, includes a Horizon AI fellow who worked at OpenAI immediately before coming to Congress, according to his bio on Horizon’s web site.
Current and former Horizon AI fellows with salaries funded by Open Philanthropy are now working at the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, as well as in the House Science Committee and Senate Commerce Committee, two crucial bodies in the development of AI rules. They also populate key think tanks shaping AI policy, including the RAND Corporation and Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology, according to the Horizon web site. In 2022, Open Philanthropy set aside nearly $3 million to pay for what ultimately became the initial cohort of Horizon fellows.
Horizon is one piece of a sprawling web of AI influence that Open Philanthropy has built across Washington’s power centers. The organization — which is closely aligned with “effective altruism,” a movement made famous by disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried that emphasizes a data-driven approach to philanthropy — has also spent tens of millions of dollars on direct contributions to AI and biosecurity researchers at RAND, Georgetown’s CSET, the Center for a New American Security and other influential think tanks guiding Washington on AI.
In the high-stakes Washington debate over AI rules, Open Philanthropy has long been focused on one slice of the problem — the long-term threats that future AI systems might pose to human survival. Many AI thinkers see those as science-fiction concerns far removed from the current AI harms that Washington should address. And they worry that Open Philanthropy, in concert with its web of affiliated organizations and experts, is shifting the policy conversation away from more pressing issues — including topics some leading AI firms might prefer to keep off the policy agenda.
The network’s fixation on speculative harms is “almost like a caricature of the reality that we’re experiencing,” said Deborah Raji, an AI researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, who attended last month’s AI Insight Forum in the Senate. She worries that the focus on existential dangers will steer lawmakers away from addressing risks that today’s AI systems already pose, including their tendency to inject bias, spread misinformation, threaten copyright protections and weaken personal privacy.

I have found a few issues with the Galor, which while they are minor, keep grabbing my attention in a bad way.
First,-when using the Assimilated engines, the tech that attaches to the rear of the Galor is not centered Is it possible to center this or make two smaller engine/exhaust units, one on each pylon? Same goes for the shield tech but added to the ship, it creates this large lridge on the right side of the ship but has no corresponding ridge on the left side side. Also it appears that the pointy bits on the deflector clip up through the front of the ship.

MINSK, January 1 (RIA Novosti) – In his New Year’s address, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko hailed 2013 as a ‘watershed year’ for the country's economy.
“The coming year will be a watershed for the economy. We have no other choice,” Lukashenko said.
He stressed the importance of modernization as key to the state’s resilience and the population’s prosperity. And, praising the economy’s stability, he noted that the country was little touched by the financial and economic crisis in 2012.
EU sanctions on Belarus were extended in 2012 due to continuing concerns within Europe over political persecution and human rights.
A recent World Bank report on the country's economy, covering the period to 2011, notes the advances made in reducing poverty and boosting growth over the past decade. However it also points to “loose macroeconomic policies” as causing “a severe balance of payments and foreign exchange crisis, accelerated inflation and the loss of the previous year’s income gains,” in 2011.
Russia’s trades union federation recently likened one headline-grabbing move – banning timber industry workers from resigning – to serfdom.
In December, Russian Trade Union Federation head Mikhail Shmakov wrote an open letter to Lukashenko criticizing the law and calling for it to be repealed.
