United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay issued a statement on Thursday, 30 October, accusing the Maldives Supreme Court of ‘subverting the democratic process‘. A few hours later, Chief Justice Ahmed Faiz responded in Dhivehi. The following is an unofficial translation of his response:
“Chief Justice of the Maldives
UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay’s statement today that the Maldives Supreme Court is repeatedly intervening in the presidential election and damaging the democratic process were made with no efforts to establish the truth of the matter, is irresponsible, and, instead of encouraging efforts to establish democracy and rule of law in the Maldives, creates a negative image of the country’s apex court among the Maldivian people and international actors. I am, therefore, deeply concerned, and state that these remarks are unacceptable.
The Maldives Supreme Court bears no enmity towards anyone. Regardless of who submits a case to the Supreme Court, the Court will deliberate on the matter according to the Constitution, laws and regulations of the country, in a manner that would protect everyone’s rights. Supreme Court carries out this responsibility to uphold the Constitution and rule of law, and to establish justice.
The Maldives is a free and independent State. It is a sovereign country with self-rule. The UN is an organisation established with the purpose of protecting the rights of small nations as well as big ones and, as under the principle of sovereign equality, every member nation has the same status and rights as the other, and, as the UN Charter assures protection of a State’s sovereign authority over its own jurisdiction, it cannot be accepted or believed, even under the UN Charter, that a person under a UN mandate should speak in a way that deprives Maldives of the said rights.
Statements made with no efforts to verify the reality of how the Maldives Supreme Court is carrying out its duties do not assist or help efforts to develop democracy in the Maldives or to establish justice in the country. Nor do they encourage efforts to promote and protect democracy, rule of law and human rights.
Therefore, I strongly condemn UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay’s remarks about the Supreme Court’s efforts to carry out its constitutional duties and responsibilities. I would also like to say that I do not believe she has any status whatsoever to make such remarks in such a manner.
30 October 2013”


Betsoft Gaming, one of the leading online 3D casino games suppliers in the world, has had their gaming license suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, as the regulatory body issued a notice to Betsoft Gaming which told them to stop their operations immediately and suspend games.
Head of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, Andre Wilsenach, send the notice to Betsoft Gaming’s parent company, Digitus Limited, last week. The notice included that they had to suspend their operations effective immediately under regulation 91 of Alderney’s gambling regulation from 2009 as well as regulation 90 which will take them to a hearing.
Betsoft are no longer allowed to offer casino games to category 1 and 2 gaming licensees as well as category 2 associate certificate holders, which will effectively remove every operator using Betsoft’s license to operate their games. This is not only a major blow to the hundreds of operators using Betsoft, but also to Betsoft themselves as they will lose tons of money in revenues.
The ruling is in place until there has been a hearing and the suspension is either cancelled or continued. Betsoft has denied to comment on the news so far and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission has yet to explain exactly why Betsoft’s license has been seized.

Have you caught on to the "Adult Coloring" trend? All over store shelves, adult coloring books are being stocked to the brim and still flying off the shelves - and not just recently! Why? Are adults coloring as an act of nostalgia? No. Coloring in patterns is actually a soothing activity, as the repetitive motions of filling in spaces has what some call a 'meditative effect'. Coloring has helped many cope with stressful lives, and even helped them process their grief after the loss of a loved one.
Why not give it a try? We offer Adult Coloring (materials provided) every Friday at 11am. Southern Care Hospice volunteer coordinator Marlena Brown will occasionally join these sessions to provide your very own Color Journal to keep and make the experience all the more enjoyable. Watch the video below for a message from Marlena!

how does a flower grow when it does not have any connection to its roots?
the life of blooming without the essential soul tools- water, sunlight, fertile soil, a story of seed and foundation of root- is one that is full of tumultuous travels and filling voids. of course, the rewards of petals in the sun can be worth all the cuts and bruises.
women are the backbone of the earth; thus, the importance of motherhood, role models, and positive stigmas of the woman are vital to keep a healthy perpetuating development of young women in this world. as part of my journey to live in my truth, i’ve curated an event series titled ‘queens recognize queens’.
my goal is to make this a space where women can come together and connect on a spiritual level through mentorship, art, wellness, and relationship-building. (because “networking” is surface level and superficial at times). the purpose of the event is to celebrate women of all diagonals and cultivate a platform for harboring connections. when i first moved back from New York, i used to complain of the lack of woman-centric communities for women of color. i’ve decided to create the change. all colors, sizes, shapes (and men) are welcomed.
the first event is this Saturday, November 12, from 4p.m. to 9p.m. it is located at thCrch, my home base on 2185 Logan Ave in the heart of Barrio Logan. entry is donation based. come and bring others who want to celebrate the spirt of women.
my mother gave birth to me when she was only 20 years old. when i was 20, i was depressed, traveling Europe, struggling in an abusive relationship with a man who clearly could not give or accept love, lost a child of my own, and struggling to keep up in school with my work. my mother gave life to a blooming flower. almost impossible when you don’t know how to pull at the roots of your own being and cut the umbilical cord for another.
my mother tried. she did.
i used to blame her for things: the losing of my virginity at such a young age, my acne, the size of my nose, my weight as an adolescent, my curly and unruly hair, why i didn’t love myself, why i felt so unloved and unworthy of love from other people, why i was so different. it wasn’t until two years ago, that i began to put things into perspective.
my mother tried. she did.
she was young when she had me and didn’t have a family foundation of her own. the family that raised me was distant. aloof. there were no ‘i love you’s’. those hid under the fabricated wrappings of presents, birthday cakes, mcdonald’s pancakes, and consumerism.
sometimes the void in a child is the intricate space of three words. they hid under the tongues of aunts and cousins and only materialized in Hallmark birthday cards. role models didn’t exist for me.
strong women figures in my life included Barbie, Skipper, and whoever was on the television that day. the very small void that existed due to the relationship between my mother and me grew and permeated different aspects of my life. how i dealt with men, how i accepted love, how i gave love, how i viewed myself, how i conducted myself and dealt with other women were all affected by the lack of foundation i had from my mother. the lack of fertile soil and ‘rootwork’ for a young flower can cause wilting under multiple suns.
the significance of women in a young girl’s life is crucial for development- socially, mentally, physically, spiritually. it wasn’t until my second grade teacher, Ms. Ratcliff, came into my life did i know the power of genuine, outwardly, and unapologetic love from a woman. she was full of light and charisma. during her class, she inadvertently taught me the power of being a woman and how important it is to exude that light for the sake of others.
gradually, I became more women-centric as influential women came into my life, and I began to appreciate my own mother more. through my self-discovery, understanding and appreciation of the woman who gave birth to me bloomed. through my own ‘rootwork’ – of forgiving, letting go, and pushing through the old memories- i was able to embrace and love others. loving myself resulted in loving others resulted in loving my mother. i returned to the roots. and now i am able to blossom and grow.
This Saturday at thChrch, let’s all come together and get back to the roots.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has refused to present himself at a UK police station to start the process of extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning on sexual assault charges.
Assange has been hiding at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since last week, when he made a surprise application for political asylum there. He had been ordered to present himself at a police station on Friday morning.
In an interview with the BBC on Thursday night, Assange said he had no plans to give himself up, and said that his asylum application gave him legal cover.
“Our advice is that asylum law, both domestically and internationally in the UK, takes precedence to extradition law, so the answer is almost certainly not,” he said, when asked if he would report to the police station.
The embassy confirmed that Assange was still inside its flat in the upscale Knightsbridge district of central London.
“The government of Ecuador will continue to foster good relations with the UK government whilst assessing Mr Assange’s application for asylum,” it said in a statement.
The 40-year-old Assange has been fighting a lengthy legal battle since late 2010, when two Swedish women accused him of sexual assault while he was on a trip to Stockholm. He left Sweden before he could be questioned by police.
He was arrested in Britain in December 2010, and has mostly been living under house arrest at the mansion of a wealthy supporter.
Assange denies the charges, and insists they are politically motivated, part of a plot to eventually extradite him to the United States to face charges connected to the release of classified diplomatic cables.

The Subaru Justy is a subcompact hatchback that has been sold by Japanese automobile manufacturer Subaru since 1984. Subaru manufactured the Justy from 1984 to 1994; since then it has sold rebadged versions of other vehicles under the Justy nameplate. The company introduced the latest iteration, a rebadged Daihatsu Boon (second generation), at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show with a 1.0 or 1.2-liter straight-three engine, front/four wheel drive, electronically controlled continuously variable transaxle, or a 5-speed manual transaxle. For the 2010 model year, the Justy was replaced with the Subaru Trezia. The Justy nameplate was revived in November 2016 as a rebadged Toyota Tank and its twin counterpart the Toyota Roomy and Daihatsu Thor.

Originally designed and manufactured in Japan, the Justy was introduced to Japan in 1984. The design was a widened and stretched version of the Rex kei car, still using the same doors and some other pressings. To Japanese buyers, it was longer and wider and had an engine larger than kei car dimension regulations outlined, while keeping the engine displacement just under 1000 cc to minimize the annual road tax obligation. The electronically controlled, continuously variable "ECVT" transmission was introduced in February 1987. Production of this model was limited to 500 per month due to limited supplies of steel bands from Van Doorne transmission, but as the Justy ECVT was not an unqualified success this was not a real problem. When supplies later increased, Subaru chose to use them for the smaller Rex instead. The Justy was originally available with a low or a high roof, although the flat roofed version was eventually allowed to wither away.
European and American versions followed in 1987 and all models received a restyling in 1989. In some countries, such as Sweden, the Justy was sold under the name Subaru Trendy. In some places it was also simply marketed as the 'J-series' in early years, J10 for 1.0 L versions and J12 for the later 1.2 L versions. In many markets the Justy was only sold with four-wheel-drive, as with much of the Subaru lineup. Intended to compete with Daihatsu's one-liter Charade, the Justy was presented with a one-liter engine. Somewhat underpowered, this was later complemented by a larger 1.2-liter which eventually became the only engine installed. In European catalyzed trim, this engine offered 80 PS (59 kW) at 5200 rpm.
In Taiwan, Subaru marketed a version of the Justy with a sedan-style body and an uprated 80 PS (59 kW) fuel injected EF12 engine called the Tutto. Taiwanese Subarus were assembled by their local partner Ta Ching.
In the United States, only the Japanese manufactured models were sold and only from 1987 to 1994 with the 1.2 engine. Early models were all low-roof, a full switchover to the high roof came with the midcycle facelift for 1989. The Justy received 4WD as an option in 1988, and all models were equipped with Multi Port Fuel Injection late in 1991. A five-door model was also available from 1990 to 1994. A 1995 model was offered in Canada.
The Subaru Justy (they were registered as "Justy/Trendy" in Norway) was available from late 1984 with optional 4×4 and the EF10 engine. The 4×4 version came with a 40 kW (54 bhp) version of the engine with a two barrel carburetor, while the FWD version only produced 36 kW (48 bhp) with a single barrel carburetor. The 4×4 version had a factory top speed of 145 km/h (90 mph) and could accelerate 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 16 seconds. Gear ratios were identical on the 1.0- and 1.2-liter versions. Stock tire dimensions on the 1.0-liter version where 145-SR-12 and the 1.2-liter version had 165-65-R-13. The turning circle was as 9.8 m (32 ft) and the fuel tank was 35 liters.
Fuji Heavy Industries signed a long-term contract with Ta Ching Motor Co. in 1989 in Taiwan right after the Justy hatchback started production. Ta Ching Motor Co. later developed the Subaru Tutto notchback sedan unique to Taiwan based on the Justy hatchback.
Initially, the Justy was equipped with a 1.0 or 1.2 liter EF three-cylinder engine and either a manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission with either front wheel drive or on-demand four wheel drive. The CVT technology (a pushbelt system) was employed because with a conventional automatic transmission, performance would have been unacceptable due to the small 3-cylinder engine and due to driving conditions in Japan, where the speed limits realistically don't exceed 40 km/h (24.9 mph) in urban areas, the Justy was an affordable choice. In North America, because of the long distances, the CVT was considered unreliable, but this has not been the case in other countries.
In 1989, the gear ratios changed, front brakes and outer axle shafts were made larger, the rear differential was reinforced and the front axle shafts were identical lengths thanks to an intermediate extension shaft.
The European Justy sold from 1994 to 2001 was a rebadged second generation Suzuki Cultus built in Hungary. It used a 1.3 SOHC 8V, G13BA Suzuki engine with a Suzuki 5-speed manual transmission and AWD via a viscous clutch as standard.

- In 1994, Subaru introduced to the Europe market a rebadged second generation Suzuki Cultus carrying the Justy nameplate. Manufactured at Suzuki's Esztergom, Hungary plant, these were available in 3 and 5 door models, both with full-time all wheel drive as standard.
- In 2004, a rebadged Suzuki Ignis carried the G3X Justy nameplate in Europe, this model is available with a Suzuki M13A or M15A engine, and also equipped as standard with AWD.
- In model year 2007 a rebadged Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon revived the Justy nameplate with the Toyota 1KR-FE 1.0 L engine. It was only available with front wheel drive, unlike previous Justy models since the first one in 1984 that had either optional or standard 4WD/AWD.
- In late 2016 a rebadged Toyota Roomy/Tank/Daihatsu Thor revived the Justy nameplate with the Toyota 1KR-FE 1.0 L engine.

The Madgwick Cup race at the 2011 Goodwood Revival was held 16-18 September at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex, England.
The 2011 Madgwick Cup featured sports-racing cars under 3-litres of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966. The Madgwick Cup is a name synonymous with Goodwood and the Revival, and this year’s race offered a grid of svelte, lightweight Brabham, Elva and Lotus models.
Dion Kremer took a brilliant win in the Madgwick Cup which kicked off Sunday’s race card at the 2011 Goodwood Revival. Chris Goodwin led initially from the outside of the front row but his start was deemed to have been a bit too good and he was handed a 10-second penalty. But it all became academic as Paul Knapfield crashed his Elva at the chicane at the end of the opening lap which bought out the red flags.
The race was restarted shortly thereafter but run to 20 minutes, with Kremer taking the lead from fellow Elva man Roger Wills with McLaren test driver Goodwin close behind in his Lotus 23B. Kremer soon built-up a sizable lead as Wills and Goodwin squabbled over second place. By half-distance Kremer led by 5.3-seconds but his good work was undone as he slowed for waved yellow flags at Woodcote after a Bobsy expired. Wills closed in as Goodwin gradually dropped back in a lonely third place but Kremer wasn’t to be denied. He clung on to take his maiden Goodwood win by a car length.

MLflow, an open-source framework that's used by many organisations to manage their machine-learning tests and record results, received a patch for a critical vulnerability that could allow attackers to extract sensitive information from servers such as SSH keys and AWS credentials.
The attacks can be executed remotely without authentication because MLflow doesn't implement authentication by default and an increasing number of MLflow deployments are directly exposed to the internet.
"Basically, every organisation that uses this tool is at risk of losing their AI models, having an internal server compromised, and having their AWS account compromised," Dan McInerney, a senior security engineer with cybersecurity startup Protect AI, told CSO. "It's pretty brutal."
McInerney found the vulnerability and reported it to the MLflow project privately. It was fixed in version 2.2.1 of the framework that was released three weeks ago, but the release notes don't mention any security fix.
Local and remote file inclusion via path traversal
MLflow is written in Python and is designed to automate machine-learning workflows. It has multiple components that allow users to deploy models from various ML libraries; manage their lifecycle including model versioning, stage transitions and annotations; track experiments to record and compare parameters and results; and even package ML code in a reproducible form to share with other data scientists. MLflow can be controlled through a REST API and command-line interface.
All these capabilities make the framework a valuable tool for any organisation experimenting with machine learning. Scans using the Shodan search engine reinforce this, showing a steady increase of publicly exposed MLflow instances over the past two years, with the current count sitting at over 800. However, it's safe to assume that many more MLflow deployments exist inside internal networks and could be reachable by attackers who gain access to those networks.
"We reached out to our contacts at various Fortune 500's [and] they've all confirmed they're using MLflow internally for their AI engineering workflow,' McInerney tells CSO.
The vulnerability found by McInerney is tracked as CVE-2023-1177 and is rated 10 (critical) on the CVSS scale. He describes it as local and remote file inclusion (LFI/RFI) via the API, where a remote and unauthenticated attackers can send specifically crafted requests to the API endpoint that would force MLflow to expose the contents of any readable files on the server.
For example, the attacker can include JSON as part of the request where they modify the source parameter to be whatever file they want on the server and the application will return it. One such file can be the ssh keys, which are usually stored in the .ssh directory inside the local user's home directory.
However, knowing the user's home directory in advance is not a prerequisite for the exploit because the attacker can first read /etc/passwd file, which is available on every Linux system and which lists all the available users and their home directories. None of the other parameters sent as part of the malicious request need to exist and can be arbitrary.
What makes the vulnerability worse is that most organisations configure their MLflow instances to use Amazon AWS S3 for storing their models and other sensitive data. According to Protect AI's review of the configuration of the publicly available MLflow instances, seven out of ten used AWS S3. This means that attackers can set the source parameter in their JSON request to be the s3:// URL of the bucket used by the instance to steal models remotely.
It also means that AWS credentials are likely stored locally on the MLflow server so the framework can access S3 buckets, and these credentials are typically stored in a folder called ~/.aws/credentials under the user's home directory. Exposure of AWS credentials can be a serious breach because depending on the IAM policy, it can give attackers lateral movement capabilities into an organisation's AWS infrastructure.
Lack of default authentication leads to insecure deployments
Requiring authentication for accessing the API endpoint would prevent exploitation of this flaw, but MLflow does not implement any authentication mechanism. Basic authentication with a static username and password can be added by deploying a proxy server like nginx in front of the MLflow server and forcing authentication through that. Unfortunately, almost none of the publicly exposed instances use such a setup.
"I can hardly call this a safe deployment of the tool, but at the very least, the safest deployment of MLflow as it stands currently is to keep it on an internal network, in a network segment that is partitioned away from all users except those who need to use it, and put behind an nginx proxy with basic authentication," McInerney says. "This still doesn't prevent any user with access to the server from downloading other users' models and artifacts, but at the very least it limits the exposure. Exposing it on a public internet facing server assumes that absolutely nothing stored on the server or remote artifact store server contains sensitive data."

…As 14 Others Face Ban –
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has declared only eight Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) fit to participate in the weekly Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) wholesale spot and forward intervention.
In a move described by experts as necessary to sanitise the financial system, the apex bank also barred 14 other banks from vastly profitable Wholesale Forex window over clear infractions and purposely making it difficult for SMEs to access foreign exchange from the new forex window opened on April 11, 2017 by the CBN.
Among the banks sanctioned, effective Tuesday, May 2, 2017, are big industry players like UBA, Citi Bank, First Bank, Skye Bank, and Wema Bank. Others include FCMB, Standard Chartered Bank, GTB, Union Bank and Ecobank.
CBN Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Isaac Okorafor, who acknowledged the ban as speculated by competent sources within the financial system, said the eight banks that escaped the CBN’s hammer are Zenith Bank, Access Bank Plc, Heritage Bank, Sterling Bank, Diamond Bank Plc, Jaiz Bank, Fidelity Bank, and Unity Bank.
Okorafor’s position substantiates grumblings within the banking sector that some banks are deliberately frustrating the new policy, even as he admitted that the CBN’s management axe only descended on DMBs yet to utilize funds allocated to them under the SME window since becoming operational last month.
The spokesman warned that the apex bank would not fold its arm and tolerate any form of instability in the inter-bank forex market caused by the actions or inaction of certain institutions or individuals in the system.
According to him, the action will however be lifted immediately any of the affected banks show evidence of significant utilization of the fund allocated to them under the SME window, adding that as an incentive, the commercial banks that made use of their SME funds were allocated all of the $100 million sold at the Tuesday’s wholesale auction.
So far, CBN has stepped up its substantial intervention in the market with an injection about $196.2 million into the various segments of the Forex market on Tuesday, May 2, 2017.
Okorafor explained that the bank offered the sum of the $100 million to authorized dealers at Tuesday’s FOREX wholesale auction. A breakdown of the other interventions indicate that the CBN made available the sum of $52 million to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment, while invisibles such Personal Travel Allowance (PTA), Basic Travel Allowance (BTA), Medicals and tuition received $44.2 million.
Okorafor, who also announced interventions in the retail auction window, said this would be computed when the apex bank receives requests made by customers through their respective banks, adding that CBN would continue its weekly sale of $20,000 to dealers in the Bureau de Change (BDC) segment this week.
Meanwhile, insiders, who applauded the decision to ban the erring banks, hinted that the CBN is seriously against activities of some banks that seek to impede availability of forex from the apex bank wholesale intervention window.

Muhammad Ali is no more.
The three-time world heavyweight boxing champion passed on at a Phoenix hospital, aged 74 after he was hospitalised for a respiratory problem on June 2.
One of the greatest boxers in history, Ali retired in 1981 and soon found signs of sluggishness and neurological damage. He thereafter received treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
Ali, known as Cassius Clay before he converted to Islam, began boxing training at the age of 12 years.
He won the World heavyweight championship at the age of 22 in 1964. He again won the title again in 1974 and 1978.
Hollywood A-listers, athletes, and other celebrities have joined millions of fans to express their condolences and sadness on social media, with many of them posting well-known photos of the sports hero.

Fermenting, Metabolizing, and Processing in Autotheory
A conversation between Lauren Fournier (writer, researcher) and Rosalyn D'Mello (Büchsenhausen Fellow)
In the context of Rosalyn D’Mello’s Büchsenhausen Fellowship project In the Name of the Mother, a conversation between Canada-based writer and researcher Lauren Fournier, known for her recently published monography Autotheory as Feminist Practice in Art, Writing, and Criticism (MIT Press 2021), and D’Mello will take place on Tue 7 June 2022 at 19.00 at Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen and online. The event takes place in cooperation with the Canadian Studies Centre Innsbruck. The writers and artist-curators will discuss the relationship between the body, transformation, and their critical-creative practices (writing, art, research). The conversation will evolve around “fermenting feminism” and “autotheory”, notions that have been introduced by Fournier in her writings and curatorial projects, and which are pivotal to the work of both interlocutors.
Fermenting feminism is a curatorial project that involves artists whose work responds to what it means to bring fermentation and feminism into the same critical space. These are works that approach fermentation through intersectional and trans-inclusive feminist frame-works, and works that approach feminisms through the metaphor and material practice of fermentation. As both a metaphor and a physical process, fermentation embodies bio-availability and accessibility, preservation and transformation, inter-species symbiosis and coevolution, biodiversity and futurity, harm reduction and care.
In the 2010s, the term autotheory began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. In her book, she provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.
At the heart of Rosalyn D’Mello’s ongoing speculative artistic research In the Name of the Mother is her auto-theoretical “study” of “art” made by housewives, mid-wives, witches, mystics, and spinsters. Her methodology – part-structured, part-intuitive, part-embodiment-based – allows for trans-generational and transcontinental conversations between female “outsider” artists and self-trained or trained artists whose practices were either never or belatedly validated, or whose legacies fall into the gaps of art history. Her study attentively reconsiders and relates the art and life work of housewives, mid-wives, witches, mystics, and spinsters to that of contemporary feminist artists and theorists, thus re-visibilizing and re-contextualizing both systems of legacy and re-locating lost female subjectivity. In doing so, she dialogues continually within the non-linear parameters of past, present, and future in order to critique what was allowed to be called art, by whom, and the ensuing historical erasures generated by racist, ableist, hetero-patriarchal art historical responses. In the Name of the Mother is committed to understanding how these “outsider” female artists engineered ways of belonging to themselves by locating their intellectual and creative agencies within the “privacy” of the domestic.
Rosalyn D’Mello’s research display In the Name of the Mother can be visited until 16 July 2022 as part of the group exhibition Corporeality Repair Conciliation: Investigating Ways Into a Better Coexistence at Neue Galerie Innsbruck.
In cooperation with the Canadian Studies Centre, University of Innsbruck

unfit for public service and frightening to contemplate in the 112th Congress, I think Toomey is even more dangerous.
Just under the polished veneer there seems to be a deep-boned rot, a dark and disorted contamination. I sense in Toomey the presence of a compulsive Inquisitor, a sycophant to a harsh god, a burner of witches.
He gives me a serious case of the creeps, folks.
I'm rootin' for Joe.
find of late that the administrators do not appear to present a clear mission on how they want this site to be.
The rules do state that members are expected to generally support Democratic candidates for public office, or current incumbent Democratic office-holders. As it's written, that's pretty clear, but enforcement is obviously inconsistent, despite a noble effort by the moderators.
People in a Kurtz-like Leftist jungle will never support the Democratic Party or this Democratic President. Those who worked for the blue team and this president -- often including but not limited to those who contributed to donation drives generated and coordinated by this site during the 08 campaign -- find it increasingly puzzling that the site's administrators condone anti-Democratic and anti-Obama threads on their Greatest page. Pro-Democrats here have to run a gauntlet of subversion and derision just to assert their affiliation with the Democratic Party or to post praise in support of Barack Obama.
The administrators appear to sanction this, despite their own posted rules to the contrary.
The questions being asked in many posts on this site about the overall mission statement are appropriate, IMO, but the administrators are the ones who ought to be asking them.
get the measure of what he's about, how he manipulates context, and how his propaganda ticks.
Beck is rolling in cash and that the public good is subverted in the process of his making that cash is of no concern to him. FOX News likely loves him because he is a value-added kook, effective on a variety of levels, in their general purpose of bringing down voters' faith in the democratic process, in the role of government, and in the gains progressives have made over the last several generations.
Beck is social malware. This past weekend he was loosed upon the media to erase the context of Dr. King's work.
Robert Bly warns that there are men "who are loosening the bolts on Noah's ark." Glenn Beck is one such.
I'm persuaded that he's not especially stable and so is given to this sort of self-promoting propaganda and subversion, but even more frightened that several thousand people attended the rally yesterday, all of them self-cast as "victims" of people with dark skin and bluer voting patterns than theirs.
And of course, Jahweh himself was trotted out to put the stamp of moral imperative on the event.
From out angle, Beck is newsworthy because what we seek to accomplish will have to navigate past the kooks and crazies whom he has convinced are victimized by people of color, pro-gay rights proponents, "the Government" in general, and the progressive worldview.
sons home on the farm is significant. Cows have to be milked and the crop has to come in for their to be food on the table in February.
Robert LaFollette, though, counted among his supporters some very radicalized farmers in his political career, and in U.S. politics, LaFollette was very sufficiently Left.
Gore Vidal believes that too many hyper-fundamentalists arrived, mostly from England and Scotland, and that their punishment-centered "Christianity" became the prevailing Christianity and thus contaminated day-to-day life and thinking in the U.S. even as it betrayed the tenets of Jesus' ministry. Vidal is not kind to this distortion, calling modern-day descendants of these fundies "ubiquitous...they breed like chiggers."
If you add those two up, though, I'm not sure you get John Boehner. Or Jesse Helms. Or Dan Coats. Or Rick Perry. There seem to be some other components in the mix, too, and the closer they're examined, the more daunting progressives' work becomes.
And the more worth doing.
Republican Party would greatly benefit from an honest self-analysis.
It might be healthy in the long run for the country if the idiots and screechers and fundie nutbags all whipped out their knives and went at each other. The GOP let these crazy asses in the front door -- welcomed them with open arms -- and began tailoring policy platforms to the idiots' specifications. This is on the bottom rung of their ladder.
At the top rungs there is Dick Cheney inviting giant oil company flunkies to write U.S. energy policy.
It's all beginning to come apart on the Pukes, and they deserve all the roiling division that can be heaped upon them. If you invite thugs to your party, it's on your tab if they trash the joint.
There's got to be a reckoning at some point. The 2012 presidential primary is potentially a disaster for the Republicans. As bad as their 2008 field was, this one is shaping up to be far worse. I think I do hear the sound of knives being sharpened in the shop as we speak, ladies and gentlemen. May the rivers run Red and may the mortally wounded be many.
send Newt into a tizzy, wouldn't it -- finishing in Iowa behind someone like Sarah Palin.
But it could happen.
It's kind of delicious for us that at least for now the Pukes are a rudderless pack of howling racist obstructionist morons. They're divided and clueless and mean-spirited as well.
-- to offer comments about or support for Ms. Sherrod.
I just sent an email note suggesting that consideration be made to reinstate her and to re-examine the policy by which she appeared to be so swiftly dismissed.
There are many thousands of us on this site. Were a good number to contact the White House asking for respectful reconsideration on behalf of Ms. Sherrod, I think it would likely have a very encouraging result.
It's my best guess that the White House staff will be up late this evening over pizzas and Chinese take-out fielding emails and calls, most of them in favor of reinstituting Ms. Sherrod.
but that they will get their butts in gear to volunteer for Democrats up and down the ballot.
You'll likely meet some like-minded souls down at the blue headquarters and the work becomes very purposeful very quickly.
Pizzas can be ordered. Fun can be had. Alliances forged. Jokes swapped. Republicans disparaged and crushed.
I recommend the life.
wish to serve other human beings it seems to me that they should be encouraged and permitted to do so.
Indeed there are any number serving now, who, if ordained, might very well do a far superior job than the autocratic assholes currently in place in the Catholic hierarchy.
The closer you get to the very top of the hierarchy the far less Christian it becomes. At a point soon in that hierarchy, the tenets of Jesus' ministry become unrecognizable.
And let's not even get started on the public relations angle.
accept that fiction is fiction.
Fiction is more of a mosaic of degrees of truths. A ghost story around a campfire can be plausible if not strictly 'true' because its components are designed to be possible. It has a strategic aim and relies on atmosphere and convincibility.
Huck Finn is a 'fictional' character but there were kids like him living up and down the MIssissippi River in the early part of the 19th century. There were caves and cats and graveyards and freckles and so forth as well. In the big mosaic, Huck is pretty real, actually.
I like Huck when he accepts possible eternal punishment for deciding to help Jim. He's at his best there. He knows the stakes and does the right thing anyway. It would fair to say that Twain was making a point in a time when that point would not have been especially popular.
One of the problems with "religions" is that their narrative writers aren't nearly as gifted at language as Mark Twain. Some of them are downright dull and sloppy, in fact. In the New Testament, we can read that the writers of the gospels sound sincere, but they can't get their story straight, and there's a lot of fog out in the back yard, and the back yard goes back a hell of a lot of miles. In the NT mosaic, I like the Jesus who defends (and saves the life of) the woman in the pit whose villagemates are about to stone her to death. That could have happened. Or not. Hard to say. But it is at least plausible and makes a point about who's perfect and who isn't, and about prioritizing transgressions. Here, a woman is defended and saved. In Twain, it is an escaping slave.
The world' religious narratives are not without their poetry, but IMO the greater passages are the plausible ones. As a reader, I'm no more inclined to believe that Jesus could walk on the surface of the water than I am that Huck Finn could walk on the surface of the Mississippi. Twain makes no claim that Huck can do any such thing.
That is also a clear distinction.
grantcart's posts on this site.
The man lifts a lot of boats, IMO.
I like a room of brand new and veteran Democrats, let's say county organizers on behalf of local and national candidates up and down the ballot.
I like watching them come alive when an incumbent Republican is felt to be vulnerable and the Democratic challenger is known to be engaged, personable, and electable. I like the blue adrenalin that circuits thru the room.
I like the banter that flies around the table at the headquarters over a couple of pizzas and Pepsis.
I would expect that a group like that would have folks across the full spectrum of grantcart's proposed categories, and that many of the individuals involved, new or long-standing, would represent elements of more than one category, and what I like best of all is they' all be very focused on kicking Republican butt.
is not felt to represent the emotional and spiritual needs of people and that in their increasing awareness of that failure, people have rejected the authority of the Church.
The Church asserts moral authority but retains an inflexible and rigid world view to which they demand followers adhere, but the day-to-day, moment-to-moment, person-to-person world is more urgent. In many cases, people will do what they have to do before they will do what an abstract authority tells them to do.
The Church, as usual, seeks to demonize "secularism" as an encroaching evil which undermines the authority of the Church. But there are god-seekers (small 'g') who have found a sense of the divine (small 'd') in alleyways and abandoned lots and exiled wayfarers.
Until the Church includes all venues and all persons, it hasn't earned the authority it says it's owed.
say so, no matter what the nutbag fundies think.
I don't see good reason to believe that the cave paintings at Lascaux, France from c. 15,000 years b.c.e. are any less inspirational than the Gospel of Mark, for example, or (your favorite religious text here).
Four kids and a dog discovered those cave paintings one afternoon while they were out knocking around in the woods. I'd like to thank those younguns and their pooch for that discovery. Those paintings generally and that horse especially are magnificent. I would never have found that cave myself. And have never been there to see it. To know that it is there (and that it was discovered through inadvertence but has generated significant universal awe) is religion enough for me.

Tiger Woods’ appearance at last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was a one-and-done, it was reported Monday.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Woods will not return to next week’s event after playing it last year for the first time in a decade.
“Much to our disappointment, Tiger will not be playing in the AT&T this year,” tournament director Steve John wrote in an email to the newspaper.
Last year, Woods got himself into the penultimate pairing on Sunday afternoon, only to shoot a final-round 3-over 75 to finish in a share of 15th place. As if to rub it in, playing partner Phil Mickelson posted a score 11 shots better to win the tournament.
The decision shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. When Woods competed in last year’s AT&T, he had skipped the Farmers Insurance Open. With that back on his schedule this year, he was expected to skip the festivities at Pebble Beach.

Final nail hammered into coffin dunny
A small far north Queensland town will hold a funeral for its controversial coffin-shaped toilet.
The unique outhouse stood at Millaa Millaa's cemetery, but council ordered its removal because it fell foul of disability regulations.
Pat Reynolds from the Chamber of Commerce says the coffin will be moved to a nearby paddock in a funeral procession at midday.
"There will be a funeral for it, as we're calling it the death of common sense at the cemetery tomorrow," he says.
"The weather's obviously going to have some effect on it but we will be removing the toilet from the cemetery. There will be a procession as we move it to its new spot just down the road."

Summary Identifying agronomic practices that optimize pod count, bean count and bean weight will result in greater soybean productivity.
A joint project with Dr. Larry Purcell, University of Arkansas.
A multi-location preliminary study implemented by the University of Illinois Crop Physiology Laboratory discovered that the number and distribution of pods and beans on a soybean plant varied across environments and management practices. The results suggested that nearly 80% of soybean yield was achieved among the middle third of plant nodes (i.e., approximately between notes 7 to 14) and that yield differences were generally associated with the number of nodes which obtained approximately 2 pods per node and 6 beans per node. We hypothesize that increasing soybean yield requires a greater understanding of the physiological yield components, especially as this understanding relates to maximizing the inherent yield potential of the lower and upper thirds of the plant canopy. Thus, we are investigating the soybean effective filling period (seed filling rate and duration), final seed/pod number, pod retention, and crop growth rate as influenced by producer management practices.
Treatments included three agronomic management practices (P fertilization, foliar insecticide/fungicide protection, or both) across two varieties (early vs full-season) at Champaign in 2014. At weekly intervals beginning after the initiation of seed filling, the number and mass of seeds at nodes in the lower, middle, and upper canopy subsections were measured.
Sampled nodes in the middle canopy region contained the largest proportion of total yield.
Relative to other canopy regions, nodes at the top canopy subsection measured the highest seed growth rate (SGR) and shortest effective filling period (EFP) and were most responsive to crop management.
Agronomic management improved yield though the response was variety dependent.
Seed number was the primary yield component responsible for yield increases in the early season varieties, in contrast to seed mass, which predominately occurred for the more full-season varieties.
Foliar protection treatments significantly increased seed number and mass in the middle and upper regions.
Fertility treatments increased seed number in the middle and top, and seed mass in the bottom and middle.
These findings highlight the importance of variety selection and how the implementation of agronomic management was used to target specific canopy regions for increased yield.

Turning the Lights On—Faster
Many municipalities have turned LED lights to illuminate their streets, in greener fashion. Despite the energy efficiency, the entry costs are high—in large part due to the complexity of the systems, not just the still-pricey light emitting diodes.
For Lighting Science (lsgc.com), which makes the RoadMaster street light, inspecting parts from suppliers to fit specifications has been an arduous process. The Roadmaster fixtures are built around aluminum die castings that are 2-ft long by 1-ft wide. The complex geometry of the parts would take up to a week to inspect with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM)—or about four hours to inspect each part because of the large number of points that need to be touched one at a time to validate the 3D geometry, the company notes.
Lighting Science began using NVision’s (nvision3d.com) HandHeld laser scanner to ensure their supplier parts actually match the original designs, in much swifter fashion than conventional methods.
“With the NVision HandHeld laser scanner we can, in about two hours, obtain the complete 3D geometry of a casting and compare it to the design intent to determine not only if the part meets the design intent but also whether it is trending in the correct direction,” said Richard Williams, manager of product quality assurance for Lighting Science.
The scanner is attached to a mechanical arm that moves around the object. The software allows full model editing, polygon reduction, and data output to all standard 3D packages. It takes an operator about an hour to scan the casting and generate a point cloud, with another hour to convert it to a surface model for comparison with a CAD model. Using NVision software, the scanned part can be compared with said design.

Employers are asked to pay employees early so that they can return home to vote on November 19.
Some voters would have to travel a great distance to their respective seats, but not all would have enough money to make the trip if they did not receive their wages early, according to former Ipoh Barat MP M Kula Segaran.
“I understand some companies may not be able to do so, but I urge you to try for the sake of the country over the next five years,” he said in a statement.
The former human resources minister said giving employees their salaries before polling day would enable them to exercise their rights as citizens of the country.
Another option, he said, was to allow staff to work from home on Nov 18 so they can immediately make the trip home after work.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that civil servants may be given special leave and early salary payments to enable them to return to their constituencies on polling day.

Corruption remains the norm in much of the world, with officials on-the-take, and decision-making perverted to suit narrow interests. While this situation may be getting better in many countries, according to the latest Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International, an anti-graft nonprofit, 6 billion people worldwide still live in places with a “serious corruption problem.”
Surveying experts on the level of corruption in 168 countries, Transparency International finds that two-thirds score below 50 points out of 100. That includes most of South, East and Central Asia, most of Latin America, and all of Africa, pretty much. Denmark, Finland and Sweden have the best reputations. Somalia and North Korea are seen as most corrupt. The U.S. is in 16th place.
See the map below. Areas in dark red indicate highly corrupt public sectors, according to the perceptions survey. Lighter red and orange indicate where corruption in public life is less serious, but still common. Yellow countries, which are mostly in Western Europe and North America, are seen as the cleanest–though they’re far from exemplary.
The report emphasizes the rippling effects of corruption, including infrastructure that never gets built, poor education standards, and environmental degradation. “Public sector corruption isn‘t simply about taxpayer money going missing. Broken institutions and corrupt officials fuel inequality and exploitation–keeping wealth in the hands of an elite few and trapping many more in poverty,” it says.
Brazil–which is in the midst of the massive Petrobras scandal–had the greatest decline from last year’s index, falling seven positions to 76th place. In the last four years, Australia, Spain, and Turkey have all lost ground.
In general, corruption thrives in countries lacking strong police and judicial systems, where the media lacks independence, and where public accounts aren’t transparent. The top countries have strong, independent institutions–though even these countries aren’t blameless. Even Denmark and Sweden sometimes export corruption overseas, for example when their companies pay bribes to win contracts.
Nor is national wealth an indicator of cleanliness. Half the G20 countries, including Brazil, India and China, are among the 68 countries with the most serious corruption problems, Transparency International says.

The rally for the recycling program is the next day, and April and Xavier make signs. John is enthusiastic – the media will be there, so they should be loud and really get everyone’s attention. Gina thinks that if John plays his cards right he could make friends out of April and Xavier through this. At the rally, John is disappointed when very few protesters turn up – he had hoped there would be an altercation and that that would make it on the news, which would further promote the cause.
Both Xavier and April decide to apply for the waiter’s job at Angelo’s – he wants a car and she wants to save up for a laptop. Both think they have a good chance at getting it, but in the end it is April who is offered the job. Whilst he’s happy for April, Xavier is disappointed as the job was his one shot at getting a car. All is not lost when, at the rally, they spy an old Ford XB GT Falcon in the rubbish tip. Both Xavier and John are excited by the find, being ‘Mad Max’ fans, and John agrees to buy it for Xavier, as long as they work on it together.
Finding the letters from Elijah in a different order than how he left them, VJ knows Leah has discovered them and is concerned. He frantically calls Miles (who has been helping him communicate with Elijah) for help. An upset Leah turns to Miles to help her find out who has been helping VJ, but Miles can’t keep up the charade for long, confesses that it was him. Leah is stunned and hurt. But she can’t remain angry at Miles, later telling him that she’s been writing letters to Elijah for weeks…she just hasn’t had the guts to send any of them.

Xavier gets dressed up for it, but is miserable in the interview, struggling with the pronunciation of names and foods.

Division One leaders Grange hope influential Dylan Bean has recovered from a leg strain as they aim to extend their unbeaten run to 16 games when they entertain Clydesdale at Fettes College on Saturday at 11am.
Clydesdale are seventh in the table with 19 points, 20 adrift of the defending Division One champions Grange.
They have won five and drawn four of their games so far and lost six against Grange’s 12 wins and three draws.
Furthermore, Grange have scored 58 goals and lost 17 while the Glasgow side have scored 27 and let in 38.
Elsewhere, Edinburgh University will look to consolidate sixth position in the ten-strong table when they entertain pointless Aberdeen Standard Gordonians (push-off 14.30 at Peffermill).
They have let in 111 goals and scored seven while the students gave Grange a late scare last Saturday, going down narrowly 3-2 at Fettes College.
Edinburgh University have won six and drawn four of their 15 games but the students have three players missing.
Graham Moodie, Edinburgh’s coach, said: “We have an important game against Aberdeen to try and keep ourselves in contention for top four.
“The boys are feeling confident after an excellent performance against Grange last week and a good 2-1 win midweek against Nottingham University 2s to confirm second place in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) North Premier Division.
Watsonians, who are eighth, travel to third-placed Grove Menzieshill (14.30) boosted by last Saturday’s narrow 2-1 win over second-bottom Kelburne.
Coach Mike Leonard will need an improvement on that performance to keep Grove at bay.

Adrià Cañameras is a Barcelonian (it’s a thing!) with a typically cool French heritage. Currently in his early twenties he spends his days taking tremendously stunning photographs in the Spanish sunshine, and probably sipping the odd sangria as he goes about it.
Photographing Balearic film director Agustí Villaronga back in 2011 with the sort of uncomfortable yet telling starkness that few portrait photographers manage to achieve, his talent, and his effortless cool for that matter (after all who doesn’t want to be French AND ridiculously great at photography?), is undeniable.
But don’t just take our word for it, with ultra cool Spanish Vice, Dazed and Confused and Rolling Stone all having featured Adrià’s photographs it looks as if we’re not the only ones he makes swoon.

the first St. Petersburg scientists in Russia were able to grow a bulk monocrystalline ingot of gallium oxide. Work on getting this monocrystal took about five years.
I Raised the first example of the semiconductor staff of the ITMO University. As the press service of the University, the interest in creating crystals of gallium oxide have arisen in the scientific community about eight years ago. This Explorer properties a bit like a diamond, gallium oxide absorbs UV radiation specifically, and it can be used in solar-blind detectors.
the University cite the example of the flight of the rocket, when its nozzle is the ultraviolet radiation. Conventional instrumentation is nothing to fix not be due to a glow, but the solar-blind sensor will allow you to see everything you need, as if there is no lighting.
Also, the gallium oxide large band gap that makes it resistant to ionizing radiation, so that in the future, this semiconductor can be used in the nuclear industry or space electronics.
Domestic science of gallium oxide and acutely knew they were interested in, but until recently, single crystals of this guide were able to grow only in Germany, USA and Japan. Now this technology is in Russia.
the University ITMO lift the veil of secrecy. Crystal “cook” in the crucible, special containers for melting. There fill up powder of gallium oxide, is heated, and then immersed in the melt a seed, when it is extrusion formed crystal. The technology of growing crystals known to scientists for a long time, but with gallium oxide, the problem was that the composition of this substance is not stable and melting of the oxide releases oxygen. If the installation of fill, such as argon, is formed of metal gallium, which forms an alloy with the material from which made the metal container. In the end, the scientists took a crucibles made of iridium, which does not react with oxygen at high temperatures. And as the seed which grew the crystal used is sapphire. It managed to grow the polycrystal gallium oxide, which went on the creation of new basic structures. On the basis of one of them and obtained the first single crystal.
Now in high school working on fixing this technology.
