This paper presents experiments carried out in the city of Tokyo in two types of builtup environments. One environment is characterized by a straight-crossing street plan with buildings randomly lining the streets and the terminal antennas located at the line of sight (LOS) and quasi-LOS conditions along the streets. The second built-up area is characterized by straight-crossing streets with non-LOS (NLOS) conditions caused by the railway station and administrative buildings surrounding the terminal antennas. The time delay signal strength distributions obtained experimentally are presented for both multipath urban channels These test experiments are used to study whether any propagation modeling can predict the time delay distribution of signal power. Our theoretical framework is based on the corresponding crossing-street waveguide model taking into account the Poisson statistics for buildings randomly lining each street. The proposed analytical formulas are analyzed for different parameters of the built-up terrain, such as the street width, the average height of buildings, the terminal antenna heights with respect to the rooftops of buildings lining a street, and the gaps (slits) between the buildings. Then a comparison between the proposed theoretical model and experimental data is presented, which indicates a satisfactory agreement between the theoretical and experimental prediction of signal power distribution in the time delay domain. So, our modeling can be used as a promising predictor for the time delay distribution in the microcellular propagation environment.

Well, Cap'n. When algae gets a hold, it tends to be tenacious and not stop until it's taken over completely...
Your best bets are these:
1) Get some Siamese Algae Eaters (Crossocheilus siamensis). These will eat all types of hair algae quickly, and are a fun, energetic fish. They do best in groups of 6+. These'll tend to set you back $4+ each.
2) Get some amano shrimp (Caridina japonica). These are incredible algae eaters, and blow the socks off ghost shrimp (which seem to do absolutely nothing). As you have angels, you'll need to make sure the amanos are at least 1" or 1.5" before you place them in the tank. They grow up to about 2", and I've found that mine have grown noticeably in the last 2 weeks. These'll set you back $2-$4 each.
3) In addition to 1) or 2) increase the CO2
dosage to your tank. Keeping the CO2
level around 20 ppm
encourages plant growth, but discourages algae growth. Mind you, it's not always easy to keep this level without a pressurized system and a pH controller!!
My personal favorite now are the Amano Shrimp. Take a look at my "Red Striped Amanos?" thread in General Discussion. On the second page, I have 2 close-up pics of these guys. They're quite pretty when they get larger.

Renowned as one of the greatest performers of all time, Eric Clapton is the only ever three-time-inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an 18-time Grammy Award winner.
From his traumatic childhood to his long and difficult struggle with drugs and alcohol and the tragic loss of his son, Clapton always found an inner strength and healing in music. Told through his own words and songs, as well as those of his family, friends, musical collaborators – including BB King, Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison – Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars is a moving, revealing and surprising film.

Is mankind alone in the universe, and if not, are his extra-terrestrial neighbours friendly?
Save for a few peaceable exceptions, filmmakers have historically answered this timeless question with a resounding ‘no’, depicting alien visitors as remorseless destructors hell-bent on annihilation.
The films chosen for this year’s Dark Skies science-fiction festival are a testament to just how nasty these inter-species encounters can be; from the hostile Martian invaders in Byron Haskin’s adaptation of H.G. Wells perennial The War of the Worlds, a key entry to the 1950s sci-fi cycle, to the shape-shifting horror of John Carpenter’s modern classic The Thing, intergalactic emissaries rarely come in peace.

ROSEN STATEMENT ON TERROR THREATS, ANTI-SEMITIC CRIMES AGAINST JEWISH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement after learning about the recent vandalism of a Jewish cemetery and the growing number of terror threats reported across the country against Jewish community centers (JCCs):
“In the recent months following the election, our nation has seen an increase in hate crimes, including over 48 reported bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers across the country, and vandalism of a local Chabad in southern Nevada,” said Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03).
“We must prevent such shameful and disgraceful acts from causing our communities to live in fear. Our leaders have a responsibility and moral obligation to defend and protect all Americans. Yet, we have not seen one ounce of leadership come from the Trump administration to take the appropriate steps to condemn and address these ongoing threats. That’s why I am proud to take action with my colleagues in Congress by joining the Bipartisan Taskforce for Combatting Anti-Semitism and sending a letter urging the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to investigate and prosecute those who are behind these hateful anti-Semitic crimes.”

At a critical point for Europe when youth unemployment continues to rise, IARS has put together a strategic partnership of Erasmus organisations to run Care to Entrepreneurship, a youth-led, transnational project that will develop, test and implement innovative practices in a much neglected area in the field of youth support.

Saratoga National Expansion Removed From Comprehensive Plan
As Saratoga Springs continues the process of revising its planning document, a major construction project that has been at the forefront of community conversation in recent weeks has been placed on the backburner.
On Tuesday the city council removed a proposed resort overlay district from Saratoga National Golf Club from the conversation as the city updates its Comprehensive Plan.
The item had been central to the debate over the future of the city’s so-called greenbelt.
In early March, Saratoga National outlined its expansion plans to be included in the resort overlay district. The organization owns more than 500 acres, including the lands it leases to the Yaddo artists retreat.
Plans included a hotel, 100 condominium units, a spa, and other amenities. The condos were dropped earlier this month.
Saratoga Springs Mayor Joanne Yepsen said the plan was scuttled at the request of the golf club.
“The resort overlay was the proposal originally, but twice now in writing we have received a request from Saratoga National Golf Course to remove this as one of the 53 considerations, and that’s all we did. We voted to remove it so we were down then to 52 considerations.”
Moving forward, the proposed expansion would require approval by the city council.
With the item off the table for now, Harry Moran, Chair of Sustainable Saratoga, said he was pleased work on the Comprehensive Plan can now continue.
“The Comprehensive Plan is supposed to be about laying out a broad vision of how the community sees development and sees this city looking in the future. It’s really not supposed to be focused so heavily on a couple of projects.”
Sustainable Saratoga had been opposed to the item, even refusing an invitation to the public forum organized by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce and Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau where Saratoga National introduced its plans.
At a packed meeting in early December the city council voted to ban Planned Unit Developments, or PUDs, in the greenbelt.
At a March 27th city council meeting, Saratoga National CEO Tom Newkirk warned that the golf course and Saratoga Springs face increased competition from nearby resort destinations, including the planned Rivers Resort and Casino only 25 miles away.
“The City of Schenectady grants the Galesi Group $9 million in tax abatement to build their casino. That’s what we’re up against. You’ve got city governments providing economic support for our competition.”
Newkirk argued that with Saratoga National’s plans to protect 378 acres of its own land from development, the group was “creating” the greenbelt. He also brought to the city council letters of support for the project, including from the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, whose leadership met in Saratoga last month.
Michael Toohey, an attorney representing Saratoga National, did not respond to a request for comment after the latest vote, but had argued consistently for the economic benefits of having a year-round resort. He addressed the council on a handful of occasions.
“If we are not given the opportunity to get into the resort overlay district then this stops forever. That land stays the way it is, people don’t get to use the land, the economic benefits do not flow to the community. You can go out there and play golf and that’s a lovely thing. But the downside, I don’t believe, is substantial to the city.”
Several downtown business owners have expressed supported for the expansion, saying it could bring extra business.
Moran said Sustainable Saratoga is not against development in the city.
“One of the things that we like to say is our downtown is our resort destination, so we don’t need to build additional resort destinations in the periphery of the city.”
The city council is due to vote on a final Comprehensive Plan in June.

As part of their commitment to quality assurance Bromfield Sand and Gravel needed to provide product identification, material strengths and production information on to their pallets of blocks. This information needs to be clearly identifiable to the end user, legible from a distance and remain readable even after months of outdoor storage. As the information would vary by customer and by product they needed a system that was flexible and could be easily and quickly altered. Bromfield contacted several manufacturers of suitable coders to demonstrate their products on Bromfield's production line.
At the end of the demonstrations Bromfield Quarry Manager Wayne Clent ordered a Codeology i100 ink jet printer. Wayne said "We chose Codeology because their printer was simple to setup and program, the print on the blocks met all of our needs and the printer was robust enough to handle our heavy industrial environment. It was obvious from the initial demonstration that the Codeology team understood our needs which gave us confidence that they were able to provide the right machine and inks for our environment."
Codeology UK Sales Manager John Walsh commented "We realised that Bromfield required a rugged, hassle-free system that was easy to start up and even easier to live with. Most of all, Wayne wanted to work with a responsive company that are prepared to back up the initial installation with a team that will offer unrivalled, comprehensive support."
Video of the Bromfield printer in action is on the Codeology YouTube channel here.

Edgehill in Stamford Welcomes Community Dog
Savannah, the newest member of Edgehill in Stamford, has been welcomed in by the community’s residents and staff. The three-month-old Chesapeake Bay retriever puppy was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Mississippi and adopted from the SPCA of Westchester County. She can officially call Edgehill her “fur-ever” home and will live and work alongside residents and staff to help everyone enjoy full and active lives.
“Not only were we able to rescue Savannah, but she will be providing added value to our residents – unconditional love, affection and companionship,” said Christopher Barstein, Executive Director of Edgehill.
Research has found that being with a pet can reduce cholesterol, blood pressure and stress as well as battle depression. Animals also have the ability to help memory care patients; studies have shown those with memory loss are able to access memories from long ago after interacting with pets on a regular basis. The health benefits and gratification of caring for a dog make a pet-friendly retirement community the perfect home for a rescued pup.
“I had dogs my whole life. I miss them. Having Savannah at Edgehill makes me feel good – I love having a dog around! Savannah gives Edgehill that extra added touch,” says resident Robert Alden.

Gulf Oil Spill May Leave Emotional Wounds
Experts Say Stress and Depression May Be a Legacy of Oil Spill
June 22, 2010 -- Thousands of hired workers, cleanup volunteers, and Gulf Coast residents are sure to come in direct contact with toxic chemicals as crude oil continues to pour into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged BP oil well. But the psychological and emotional scars left by the oil are bound to be more severe than any of the physical ones, experts warn.
Psychiatrists who study the impact of large-scale environmental and natural disasters cautioned that the stress of lost wages, unemployment, and displacement is already having a noticeable affect on Gulf residents. They said signs of that stress are already showing up among adults and children in the area.
The comments were made Tuesday in New Orleans at an Institute of Medicine forum on the health effects of the oil spill.
"It's Katrina, it's the recession, it's the oil spill, and it's the possibility of another big hurricane," says Sheldon Cohen, PhD, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
Cohen in recent days has met with dozens of families in Louisiana and Mississippi.
He warns that children along the Gulf now face "toxic stress" as their parents are thrown out of work or contemplate having to move in the wake of the spill. That can lead to poor school performance, behavior problems, and depression, he says.
Those stresses have already lead to increased reports of domestic violence, increased alcohol, and drug use, and other signs of stress in communities impacted by the spill, according to Howard Osofsky, chair of the department of psychiatry at Louisiana State University.
"We're already getting calls from schools" concerning behavior problems among students, he says.
"People are reporting not only that people are drinking more … but some who've never drunk before are beginning to drink," Osofsky says. "We're going to see depression, we're going to see anxiety. We are already seeing posttraumatic stress."
Crude oil is made up of thousands of compounds, most of which have never been studied for their effects on humans. Still, some of the potential health effects are well known.

Even as health officials of Punjab are seeing a silver lining in the lower death rate during the present wave of coronavirus as compared to the first, the state recorded its highest ever single-day jump in case count with a record 6,762 cases on Friday, a spike of 23.93 per cent over 5,456 cases recorded on Thursday. The number of deceased stood at 8,264 since the pandemic began, with 76 deaths being recorded on Friday.
The average Covid fatality rate of Punjab, which stood at around 2.6 per cent since the virus outbreak, has dropped to 2 per cent during the second wave, and was only 1.4 per cent last week. The state also has a promising recovery rate of 84.7 per cent.
“The average death rate in Punjab is around 2.6 per cent since the Covid-19 outbreak. But it came down to 2 per cent in 2021 and further dipped to 1.4 per cent last week,” said Dr Rajesh Bhaskar, the state Covid-19 nodal officer. The national CFR stands at 1.15%.
While the death rate may be lower than the first (in August-September last year) wave, the rising number of patients on ventilator and oxygen support indicates that it might be too early to reach any conclusion.
Data analysis shows that the number of patients on ventilator and oxygen support has been constantly increasing since the surge in cases started since February last week.
On February 25, there were just 11 patients who were on ventilator support and 82 on oxygen support. Eighteen days later on March 16, the number increased to 26 on ventilator and 272 on oxygen support. As cases continued to surge, there were 33 patients on ventilator and 334 on oxygen support on April 1.
On Friday (April 23), the day Punjab witnessed its steepest ever hike in fresh Covid cases, since pandemic started last year — 23.93% increase in fresh cases within 24 hours — there were 44 patients on ventilator and at least 527 on oxygen support. Punjab recorded the highest ever single day case count Friday — 6,762 fresh cases in 24 hours, that is 23.93 per cent higher than 5,456 cases recorded on Thursday.
However, the highest single-day death count in second wave is 84 till now (on April 19) whereas in the first wave, the highest toll in a day was 106 on September 2 last year.
“Our problem is that people are coming to hospitals when it is difficult for them to breathe. This is the reason we have more Level-3 bed occupancy than Level-2. It is important that people should report as soon as they experience any symptoms. We will test them and assess whether they need to stay at home or get admitted to hospital,” said Bhaskar.
Amardeep Singh Cheema, Chairman, Punjab Health Systems Corporation, pointed out that Punjab has just 31 per cent occupancy in Level-2 beds and 48 per cent in Level-3 beds.
“It shows that people are not reporting in time,” he said.

Global Water Soluble Packaging Market - 2020-2027
The water soluble packaging or water cooler is used to dispense or cool water. It is connected to the mains than provides a live stream of cold or hot water. It is mainly classified into two categories, namely bottle-less water soluble packaging and bottled water soluble packaging. The water soluble packaging offers a refrigeration function to cool the water and offers hot water or room temperature water for tea, coffee, or other purposes.
The global water soluble packaging market size was worth US$ XX billion in 2019 and further predicted to reach US$ XX billion by 2027, at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
Rapid growth in the urbanization of developing economies, and the increasing demand for clean drinking water appliances, and the improved purchasing power of consumers in emerging economies, such as India, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Korea, are anticipated to boost the masrket growth further.
Plasticulture will enhance the market growth
There are several benefits of plasticulture including yield improvement of up to 50-60%, water savings of up to 60-70%, prevention of weed growth, soil conservation, protection against adverse climatic conditions, fertilizer savings up to 30-40%, reduction in post-harvest losses, and conversion-cold desert/wasteland for productive use. The greater use of plastic in agriculture can also aid to a great extent to achieve up to 50% of the intended targets in agriculture. The broader use of plasticulture can reduce the loss of harvest and can increase efficiency, thus contributing more to any country’s GDP.
Ban on single-use plastics
In June 2019, the Canadian government announced its plan to ban the use of single-use plastics by 2021 correspondingly decreasing the 3 million metric tons of plastic waste tossed out in Canada, every year. This is anticipated to affect bottled water and beverage manufacturing companies, and, in turn, negatively impacting the plastics market players. Similarly, in May 2019, the European Council publicized the official adoption of new regulations within the EU (European Union) that may restrict single-use plastic items and introduce recycling targets. Such regulations are anticipated to lay a negative effect on the market studied. Consumers are now using other packaging materials, which offer environment-friendly properties, which in turn, is expecetd to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The recent COVID-19 outbreak has caused a disruption in the supply chain owing to which the market value was declined considerably across the globe. Global superpowers such as the US and EU regions have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. It is impacting all the concerned petrochemical companies such as engineering companies, contractors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and various services providers. Crude oil is an essential element to produce all petrochemical and petroleum products. The recent downfall in the prices of crude oil is clearly showing the status of the petrochemical industry. Crude petroleum is an important input used in the production of organic chemicals, which in turn, are used as inputs into the production of more-processed goods, such as plastics products.
Based on the packaging type, the water soluble packaging market has been classified into bags, pouches, and pods and capsules.
Pouches lead the market throughout the forecast period
Pouches segment led the overall market with a share in 2019. Whereas the bags segment is likely to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Growing demand for sustainable packaging options from the personal care industries and food & beverages industries is the key factor leading to a rise in demand for water soluble pouches. Further, rising awareness among customers in developed and developed countries about green technology is driving the demand for water soluble pouches.
Based on the raw material, the water soluble packaging market has been classified into polymer, surfactants, and fiber.
Polymer segment dominated the global water soluble packaging market in 2019
Polymer segment accounted for the largest share in the global market in 2019. This is attributed to the continuous increasing use of water soluble packaging that offers an environment-friendly and sustainable solution for packaging for various end-use applications. PVOH (Polyvinyl alcohol) is referred to as a clear and water soluble thermoplastic that is derived from polyvinyl acetate, which is extremely hydrophilic in nature. Therefore, it is used as a ideal raw material for manufacturing of water soluble films and packaging globally. Moreover, the use of PVOH water soluble packaging has gained its popularity in the agriculture sector to contain harmful fertilizers so that it becomes easier for the farmers to handle such toxic chemicals without touching them. Moreover, PVOH is approved by FDA to be used as a packaging material in the food industry and considered to be safe, which is one of the major factors to support its growth in the market.
Based on geography, the study analyzes the water soluble packaging market in the global market, including North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
Asia Pacific leads the global market throughout the forecast period
Asia Pacific dominates the global water soluble packaging market with the largest share in terms of value and volume globally, followed by Europe. China dominated the Asia Pacific water soluble packaging market in 2019. Rapid industrialization in the region coupled with the increased skilled workforce is driving the growth of the manufacturing sector in the region, which in turn, is creating the demand for plastics. Further, the presence of the well-established packaging industry, electrical & electronics, and automotive industry in the region creates the demand for plastics for various applications and hence, drives the regional growth of the market.
The water soluble packaging market is highly competitive, owing to the large presence of water soluble packaging brands. The key water soluble packaging players include Amtopack Inc., Mondi Group, Kuraray Co. Ltd., Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings, Cortec Corporation, Solupak, Msd Corporation, Lithey Inc., Aquapak Polymers Ltd., Prodotti Solutions, Guangdong Proudly New Material Technology Corporation.

I just finished making a square, natural edge bowl and thought it would be interesting to share the process. A lot of people I show my work to seem impressed, but mystified as to how it is done. Explaining that it was turned on a lathe often doesn’t help as many people don’t know what a lathe is.
A lathe is simply a fancy carving device. However, unlike most people’s vision of carving, where the work piece is stationary and the carving tool is moving, when turning on the lathe, the workpiece is moving (rotating) and the carving tool is stationary. Because the lathe rotates the workpiece around a pivotal point, most work that is created on the lathe, is inherently round.
Hopefully this pictorial essay will shed some light on the process for those not familiar with it. While the bowl that I made here is not a standard bowl, the overall process is very similar to that used in creating a regular salad bowl.
While this may look like a hunk of firewood to most, I could see a bowl inside waiting to be exposed.
A rough sketch on the log outlined the bowl and the extent of the wings. As I am not able to turn anything greater than 16" diameter on my lathe, anything outside of the two straight lines needed to be cut off before I could mount the log on my lathe.
The log cut to size on my band saw.
A faceplate was securely screwed to the log at the center point of the bowl. This will be the top or inside surface of the bowl.
The face plate was then threaded onto my lathe, exposing what will become the bottom or underside of the bowl.
With the log being rotated at speeds varying from 250 to 800 rpm, a cutting tool or gouge is used to shape the underside of the bowl and the wings. Extra care needs to be taken cutting the wings as the gouge is alternately "cutting" wood and air. Awareness of where your hands and fingers are is a necessity.
With the shaping done, the underside of the bowl and wings are sanded smooth using both power sander ...
... and good old fashioned elbow grease 🙂 Note the tenon that has been formed on the underside of the bowl. This is temporary and will be used to attach the bowl to the lathe so that the inside of the bowl can be hollowed out.
A coat of shellac is applied as a sanding sealer. You can already see the inner beauty of the wood shining through!
The log is now turned around on the lathe and the tenon I mentioned earlier is gripped in the jaws of a chuck.
The faceplate is now removed.
Throughout this process I have been constantly returning to my grinder and resharpening my bowl gouge so that the wood can be cut cleaning and efficiently with a sharp tool. Pretty cool picture with all the sparks flying 🙂
With the lathe once again rotating the workpiece, the inside of the bowl is now hollowed out.
While hollowing the bowl careful and frequent measurements are made using a home made laser depth gauge. I want to make sure that I don't end up hollowing right through the bottom of the bowl. The goal for today is to make a bowl, not a lamp shade!!
Once the hollowing is complete, the inside of the bowl is sanded smooth ...
... and the wings of the bowl are sanded gently by hand. I could have also turned the top surface of the wings smooth, but I chose to leave them showing the rough texture of the chain saw marks from when the log was cut up. I like the contrast in texture between the chain saw marks and the smooth inside surface of the bowl.
A coat of shellac sanding sealer is applied to the top surface of the bowl and the wings.
The bowl is once again turned around to allow me to remove the temporary tenon on the underside. This time the bowl is held to the lathe by means of a chuck which generates a vacuum. It is amazing how much pressure can be generated by the vacuum and how securely the bowl is held.
With the tenon turned away, the bowl is removed from the lathe. I sign and number the bowl using a wood burning pen.
Then the bowl is flooded with an oil finish. The oil is allowed to penetrate the wood for 10 to 15 minutes before the excess is wiped off. It is then allowed to dry for 24 hours before the application of a second coat of oil. Once cured, the oil both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood.
The finished bowl.

When your DJBooth debut involves resurrecting hip-hop alongside Big K.R.I.T. it’s hard to top an introduction like that, but grabbing some production from the legendary ?uestlove of The Roots is a hell of a start. For his latest single Lyn Charles says Farewell Philadelphia over an organic, perfectly timed beat from the aforementioned ?uest, using the opportunity to transcend the “crabs in a bucket” mentality that drags so many rappers down, even in their own hometown. Add in a smooth hook from Charles and a guest verse from Ryshon Jones, who just made his own solo DJBooth debut, and you’ve got the perfect way to announce Charles’ upcoming Golden Louis EP, which is currently still awaiting a release date.

One of the more underreported aspects of America’s nationwide system of state ballot initiatives is their tremendous diversity across our different states and regions.
Most obviously, about half of our states allow initiatives and half do not, with the former generally concentrated in the regional strongholds of the old Progressive movement, namely the Great Plains and the Far West.
But even among those states that allow the process of direct democracy, the details and rules vary enormously. In some states, successful ballot measures can be subsequently overturned by state legislatures and in some they are inviolate. In some states, signature-collecting is a relatively trouble-free process, with easy public access rules for petition circulators, and in some the regulations render matters quite burdensome.
Furthermore, numerous states provide complex legal or administrative hurdles designed to make the initiative process as difficult as possible. For example, some state constitutions require proposed petitions to overcome enormously long and convoluted legal hurdles before the first signature can even be obtained. Some states require circulators to notarize their completed petitions. Some states regularly disqualify petitions filled with legitimate signatures for the slightest stray mark or blemish. And most widespread is the tendency of state and federal courts to disallow proposed initiative statutes whether before or after qualification or vote, often on vague or dubious legal grounds that would never have been similarly applied to measures (even identically worded measures) produced through the normal legislative process.
These are thus the obstacles, pitfalls, and traps encountered by any national movement attempting to promulgate its policies through the initiative process, notably our own “English for the Children” effort.
So far we have successfully overcome these hurdles, passing measures in both California and Arizona and having now qualified similar ballot measures in Massachusetts and Colorado for this November.
In the case of Massachusetts, we overcame several legal challenges, gathered over 80,000 valid signatures, overcame more legal challenges, obtained a second set of nearly 10,000 valid signatures, and have now had our measure officially placed on the ballot under the designation “Question 2.” Nonetheless, our opponents have filed several additional legal challenges, still doing their utmost to protect native language instruction from the terrifying prospect of becoming subject to the whims of a democratic vote.
The latest of these challenges nominally amounts to the claim that our opponents should be given an opportunity to rewrite their previously settled ballot arguments. However, these is considerable speculation that the actual intent is to delay or perhaps invalidate the November vote, and might even have the bizarre unintended consequence of postponing Massachusetts candidate elections entirely.
The extraordinary nature of these legal maneuvers is indicated by the remarkably strong comments of Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin, the well-regarded and normally quite restrained ranking elections official of the Commonwealth, who was reported by the Boston Globe to have blasted our opponents as “underhanded” in their political maneuverings. The article is attached below.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, the delays brought on by a full year of endless, rather frivolous, legal challenges by our opponents failed in their ultimate goal of keeping our measure off the ballot. Despite having just six weeks—rather than the six months provided under the Colorado constitution—for our signature-gathering, we far surpassed the necessary requirement, and have now seen our measure placed before the Colorado voters under the designation “Amendment 31,” as is described in the article provided below.
The rather shocking possibility that Colorado voters may—after seven or eight years of legal battles and lobbying by officials and activists— actually take matters into their own hands and settle the native-language instruction issue once and for all seems to be coming as a considerable surprise to various elected officials, with sometimes amusing consequences.
For example, two weeks ago the powerful members of the elected Denver School Board issued a unanimous and stinging condemnation of our proposed measure. Soon afterward, they decided to actually learn a few details about what they had so already harshly condemned, and have now invited representatives of our effort to explain the details of the initiative to them at their next meeting.
Although under normal circumstances, investigation and trial precedes rather than follows verdict of condemnation and execution of sentence, the notorious peculiarities of our thirty-year-old national system of Spanish-almost-only instruction are already sufficiently great that this further deviation from standard legal practice should occasion little additional surprise.
P.S. My recent suggestion that intellectual fraud– -as well as apparent accounting fraud—formed the basis for our recently exploded market Bubble provoked an enormous amount of response, nearly all of it quite favorable, from individuals who would place themselves on the Left, Right, and Center alike.
One of the very few exceptions came from a top financial officer at a major Silicon Valley company who, after reading my letter in the Wall Street Journal, darkly threatened business retaliation from the entire high technology industry if I did not consider changing my views on what constitutes misleading accounting.
Despite the unseemliness of such threats, we should feel some sympathy for the unfortunate gentleman in question. I quickly discovered that his company’s stock price had already fallen by some 80%, erasing nearly $30 billion of investor value, and that the IRS was currently suing in federal court over his accounting practices. Furthermore, his own corporate declarations reveal an operating loss of over $100 million during the last twelve months, so we may speculate about how much more fearful that loss might have been under a different accounting treatment.

About 45,000 Jamaicans are living with HIV/AIDS and for every five people who start Anti-Retroviral Treatment, 10 new infections occur.
Yet, since 2007, UNAIDS has reported that male circumcision can reduce a man's chances of contracting HIV/AIDS by as much as 50-60 per cent. Circumcised penises are simply easier to keep clean and provide a less favourable environment for the very fragile HIV virus to grow and thrive. Amazingly, this life-saving information has barely trickled out of any of the Ministry of Health's "conduits" (lubricated or otherwise).
The anti-buggery law and laws against private, adult consensual sex work not only violate the right to privacy of men who have sex with men (MSM) and the right to work of sex workers, but these laws also contribute to the spread of HIV-AIDS by driving MSM and sex workers underground away from effective HIV-AIDS prevention, treatment and care interventions.
At the same time, the government has cut spending on HIV-AIDS programmes by 23 per cent in the new fiscal year. The result of such mismatched policies will inevitably mean that HIV/AIDS will continue to spread and achieve pandemic proportions in certain populations, imperilling our health-care system already on life support.
If the government is serious about sparing the health sector from an impending crisis, then I urge it to adopt the following:
* Promote male circumcision.
* Repeal the laws against buggery and private, consensual adult sex work.
These desperate financial times require our leaders to make such bold if unpopular decisions in Jamaica's interest.

It’s almost here, Jaguar’s first ever crossover will be unveiled later this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show and today we catch a first glimpse of the production car courtesy of an official image and clip showing the side profile. The F-Pace is being described by JLR as a “family sports car” and is essentially a follow-up to the C-X17 concept from 2013 and as you can see the styling has been largely carried over, at least from what we get to see in this single teaser image & video combo.
It aims to be one of the lightest models in its class by adopting Jaguar Land Rover’s iQ[Al] platform which makes extensive use of aluminum to shave off as much weight as possible. The F-Pace promises to be an agile and lively crossover by adopting a double wishbone front suspension combined with an integral rear link setup.
Details about the engine lineup are limited at this point, but it’s safe to say the standard versions will be offered with a generous array of highly efficient four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines form the Ingenium family. Available from day one will be a higher specification F-Type S with all-wheel drive and a larger 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine. If this isn’t enough to satisfy your thirst for power, a flagship SVR version will eventually join the range with an even bigger 5.0-liter V8 supercharged motor.
For those who would rather have the F-Pace without a combustion engine, there are some reports pointing out Jaguar is currently cooking up a fully electric version, but this will not be launched in the near future, so you will have to wait at least a couple of years and also pay considerably more compared to the conventionally-powered models.
Images of the interior cabin are not available at this point, but Jaguar has previously said the cabin will be spacious and wide, with enough space for five passengers and their luggage.
The Porsche Macan-rivaling F-Pace will be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in less than two weeks and is scheduled to go on sale all over the world - including India - in 2016.

In March, the UK government reintroduced the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. First mooted in July 2022, the original bill was withdrawn to allow ministers to consider the legislation further.
This is a comfort to Holmes-Lewis as she says the complexity of data protection law has meant some organisations have taken five years to fully understand the 2018 legislation.
As the use of AI in HR has grown, so too have the risks. Burgess points out that under UK GDPR, solely automated decisions that produce ‘legal or similarly significant’ effects on people may only be carried out where it’s necessary for entering into or performing a contract between a controller and a data subject; if it’s required or authorised by law; or the data subject has given their explicit consent.
However, she considers it helpful the bill amends the UK GDPR so automated decision making is not restricted to these circumstances, which might make it easier for employers to use AI in situations such as screening job applications.
“Safeguards will create greater public confidence in AI and how data is used”
Though a promising development, Potts says the bill changes very little in respect of AI. He adds that it may allow broader data sets to be used in the course of research and development, without the burden of requiring renewed opt-ins each time the research purpose evolves.
Timeline of UK GDPR law
14 April 2016 – General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is adopted by the European Union, including the UK. It sets out the rights and obligations for most employers when processing personal data.
23 May 2018 – UK grants royal assent to augment GDPR including criminal aspects of recklessly obtaining personal data without consent.
25 May 2018 – GDPR law becomes enforceable in the EU.
31 December 2020 – The Brexit transition period ends. Vestigal EU law is transposed onto UK law including GDPR, now known as ‘UK GDPR’.
11 March 2021 – Government announces intent to reform GDPR, to help drive economic growth.
18 July 2022 – Proposed GDPR reform bill laid before parliament.
6 September 2022 – Liz Truss takes over as prime minister, government delays second reading of GDPR reform bill.
8 March 2023 – GDPR reform bill withdrawn. A new version, the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (No. 2) Bill, is introduced.
What the bill does not do, Potts says, is provide any codification of the law around AI. He says that this remains an unlegislated area, with the closest provisions to any kind of guidance being the EU’s regulatory framework proposal on AI.
From a legal standpoint Burgess says the bill addresses certain AI-related risks. She gives the example of a ‘significant decision’ based on special category data – race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. – that may not be taken based solely on automated processing unless certain conditions are met.
Importantly, such significant decisions require safeguards for a person’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. These include providing a data subject with information about decisions made about them, enabling them to make representations about the decision, ask for human intervention and to contest it.
These safeguards are essential says Holmes-Lewis. She cites plans for an AI rule book to run alongside the bill that will be regulated by Ofcom and the Competition Markets Authority. She says: “Safeguards will create greater public confidence in AI and how data is used to ensure that it’s safe, technically secure, transparent and fair.”
Burgess too is hopeful that by clarifying the circumstances when robust safeguards apply to automated decision making, confidence in AI technologies will increase.
Another part of the bill deals with what Potts refers to the as the ‘weaponisation of data’ by employees – a frequent frustration for HR managers. Potts says: “The bill will assist HR managers in shielding their businesses from vexatious data subject requests and will also give the ICO the power to reject complaints relating to such requests.”
In more detail, Burgess says that under the proposed new regime, businesses will be entitled to charge a fee for or refuse to act on requests considered ‘vexatious or excessive’. She adds that it will be the data controller’s responsibility to prove that a request is vexatious or excessive.
Interestingly, Holmes-Lewis doesn’t see the bill giving employees more rights over their personal data. In fact, she thinks the opposite is true as the bill describes what is a reasonable request.
While many aspects of the reform bill clarify existing law which has become muddied in places, the basic principles of GDPR are unaffected and companies that already comply with the current law won’t need to make radical changes. It’s hoped that the burdens on employers are eased, but the results will take time to become apparent.

Honda’s cute, pugnacious Urban EV concept brings a bit of Tokyo funk to Germany’s Frankfurt auto show, where it had its debut. Unlike some Japanese flights of fancy, however, this concept “sets the direction for the technology and design that will appear on a future battery electric Honda production model.” Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo added that a “production version of this car will be in Europe in 2019.” (No word yet on whether it’s coming to America.)
Built on a new platform, the pint-size two-door EV is some four inches shorter than a Honda Fit. Borrowing from the far opposite end of the automotive spectrum, the concept uses rear-hinged doors, à la Rolls-Royce. This four-seater is unusual in that it has a bench seat in front; in addition, the front and rear seats are upholstered in different fabrics. The rear seatbelts pull out from the center, which is supposed to aid entry and exit. The interior is embellished with wood trim including a large panel spanning the dash, which gets an ultrawide, floating instrument screen. There also are screens on the upper door panels—they display feeds from the side-view cameras.
Outside, the space between the headlights where the grille normally would be is a screen that is able to display messages to other drivers or the status of battery charge; the rear end has the same feature. The blue backlit Honda badge is a design cue that will be used on the company’s EVs going forward.
The Urban EV earns extra Japanese-concept-car points by incorporating a personal digital assistant called Honda Automated Network Assistant that “learns from the driver by detecting emotions behind their judgments.” That sounds dubious, but we love the design of this EV, which despite its diminutive dimensions manages to avoid looking toylike. We hope more than just the light-up badge survives the transition to production—and that it gets a chance to roam American streets.

The Singapore dollar hit a 17-month high against Malaysian ringgit on 17 Apr, as demand for Malaysia’s currency decreased amid concerns that Malaysia’s debt may be removed from a key global bond index.
According to global financial portal investing.com, Malaysian ringgit was last seen trading at 3.0632 per SGD, the highest since the Singdollar reached RM3.0724 on 20 Nov 2017.
Year-to-date, the Singdollar has risen 0.74 percent against the ringgit from, according to Bloomberg.
Malaysia could be dropped from the FTSE World Government Bond Index (WGBI) due to concerns about market accessibility and liquidity, said FTSE Russell, a global index provider.
If Malaysia’s bonds are downgraded, it could see outflows of almost US$8 billion; Morgan Stanley said in his research note after FTSE Russell carries out its review in September.
Concerns over this potential downgrade had influenced investors’ risk-appetite, said Phillip Capital Management senior vice-president (investment) Dr. Nazri Khan Adam Khan. He also predicted that the ringgit downtrend would prolong until the end of this week.
What are you all waiting for? Time to hit JB for all the lok-lok and massages this long weekend.

The end of an era: After more than 24 years under the banner of the four rings, Audi’s longstanding head of motorsport, Wolfgang Ullrich, goes into retirement. After having previously turned over his responsibilities to his successor, Dieter Gass, at the beginning of the 2017 season, the 67-year-old was now officially retired. A large farewell party in Neuburg an der Donau on Thursday night was attended by more than 300 former colleagues and associates – including many current and former Audi drivers and the former Chairman of the Board of Management, Franz-Josef Paefgen, who at the end of the 90s had given the green light for Audi’s Le Mans commitment. Under Ullrich’s leadership, Audi won the iconic French endurance race 13 times. Six DTM driver titles and the successful development of Audi’s customer racing program belong to the Ullrich era as well.

Brasserie Mémère in Closter closes indoor and outdoor dining until 'it feels safe'
Chef-owner Thomas Ciszak has closed indoor and outdoor dining at Brasserie Mémère, his lovely French restaurant that opened a year ago. Ciszak said the restaurant will remain closed until "it feels safe" to reopen.
Mémère will continue to offer takeout and delivery and host private events.
"It's safer this way," Ciszak said in an email from Germany, where he is visiting his "mémère," that is, granny. "We can’t wait for the government to take action. We had to take responsibility ourselves."

Ciszak had closed his renowned American restaurant Chakra in Paramus in Aug. 2019.
In addition to Mémère, Ciszak is chef-owner of Blue Morel in Morristown and oversees 60 restaurants as vice president of food and beverage for Island Hospitality Management, based in Palm Beach, Florida.
