Does US Supreme Court Wants To Stabilize The Elections ?
Playing text to speech
The Supreme Court casted a ballot Monday for soundness in the current year's presidential political race. How about we trust the judges are fruitful in accomplishing that objective.
In a couple of cases including alleged shifty voters, the high court collectively decided that states have the protected capacity to drive individuals chose to serve in the Electoral College to cast their official voting forms for president as per their state's well-known vote. States, at the end of the day, can keep the voters from 'denouncing any and all authority' — as a few did in 2016 by throwing polling forms for Colin Powell, John Kasich and Faith Spotted Eagle.
The court plainly was spurred by a craving to abstain from destabilizing the framework however much as could be expected. The judges declared as much at the hour of oral contention. Equity Brett Kavanaugh, for instance, conjured 'the keep away from mayhem guideline of judging,' which he interpreted as meaning that the court ought not decipher the Constitution 'to encourage or make tumult' if there is an approach to decipher it in any case.
Monday's decision finished on that approach. Equity Elena Kagan, composing for the court, recognized that toward the start of the republic there was some desire that balloters would practice autonomous judgment. In any case, she clarified that the genuine content of the Constitution doesn't propel that balloters have this self-rule.
She likewise saw that the first desire immediately vanished and soon the opposite desire created: that voters would be faithful to their own ideological groups and in this manner adjust their votes to their gathering's presidential chosen one. The court was entitled, she clarified, to interpret the Constitution as per this resulting rehearse and along these lines have the framework go about as Americans presently for the most part expect it does.
Subsequently, if the court has its way, there will be no danger of a shifty voter being a trump card in the current year's political race. Sadly, it isn't so straightforward. The judges' decision licenses states to forestall fickle balloters, yet it doesn't necessitate that they do as such.
Just 32 states have laws endeavoring to tie voters to the state's mainstream vote, and not every one of the rebates the freak vote. Furthermore, 18 states despite everything have laws giving balloters the opportunity to cast a ballot freely on the off chance that they so pick. Hence, missing change among now and November, there is simply the danger of confusion infusing into the framework regardless of the court's choice.
As a commonsense issue, this specific hazard is little. However, it isn't zero. The situation to consider is an incredibly close result in the Electoral College: for instance, 270-268 or 269-269, neither of which is ridiculous on the off chance that you mess with an Electoral College number cruncher on the web.
Those are circumstances where only a couple of shifty voters could change the outcome, toss the entire framework into strife and set up the chance of a furious question in Congress on Jan. 6, when the two congressional chambers meet in an extraordinary joint meeting to open and tally the Electoral College votes from the states.
The more serious danger of unsteadiness comes not from irresolute balloters however from the way that joint meeting of Congress works, a subject that was not moved by the court's choice Monday. The Twelfth amendment to the Constitution requires this joint meeting however doesn't determine how it is to be directed. Congress included a few subtleties in an 1887 law, however, it additionally has glaring ambiguities and some imperviously tangled verbiage.
Indeed, even with no fickle voters, it is anything but difficult to envision how Congress could be gone up against with a fight over the appointive votes from at least one states and no reasonable techniques for how to determine it.
Actually, it occurred in the 1876 Hayes-Tilden political decision, which was not settled until two days before Inauguration Day and simply because of a trade off that finished Reconstruction. A similar kind of issue could happen now, for instance, over a hard and fast battle about mail-in voting forms.
Assume previous Vice President Joe Biden wins the mainstream vote in enough states for an Electoral College triumph, yet just by checking vote-via mail voting forms — the sort of polling forms that President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr have reproved (without validation) as characteristically untrustworthy. Envision, at that point, Trump and Barr convincing the governing bodies of enough states to name voters who will decide in favor of Trump, contrary to the confirmed well known vote dependent on the checking of vote-via mail voting forms. That sort of debate could arrive at Congress on Jan. 6, with legislators sick prepared to deal with it as a result of insufficient existing methodology.
The Supreme Court's irresolute balloters' choice, lamentably, never really wipe out that danger of unsteadiness. Truth be told, it ostensibly adds to the hazard to the extent that it emphasizes the point of a reference building up that the Constitution gives expresses 'the broadest intensity of assurance' in delegating voters.
That language in the sentiment, regardless of whether not all that expected, could be taken as a greeting for state governing bodies to choose their own voters contrary to the state's well-known vote — as Trump and Barr may encourage them to do.
Subsequently, regardless of the court's promise for solidness this year, it gives no assurance. Prior to November, Congress should fix its own systems for getting and checking Electoral College votes. In the event that it doesn't, the country could be in for a stun.

Bethe Correia on eye surgery, forced layoff before UFC 190 title fight with Ronda Rousey
By Brent Brookhouse and Christian Stein - mmajunkie.com
• Jul. 27, 2015
If you listen to the oddsmakers, Bethe Correia doesn’t much of a chance to beat Ronda Rousey in Saturday’s UFC 190 pay-per-view main event.
Correia (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is nearly an 11-1 underdog at some books. They’re incredibly long odds for a UFC title fight. The fact that almost no one is giving her a chance to wrest the UFC women’s bantamweight belt from the seemingly iron grip of Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) has appeared to have little effect on the undefeated Brazilian.
In fact, Correia seems downright confident as the biggest fight of her career approaches, and she’s so far as to be dismissive of the Olympic bronze medalist’s judo.

A woman who is a former client of an Oklahoma abortionist has recounted the harrowing details of an abortion where she says she was strapped to a table for an abortion done without anesthesia.
Oklahoma abortionist Nareshkumar Gandalal “Naresh” Patel has been charged with selling the abortion drug to women who he lied to and told they were pregnant. Although not charged, Patel once also faced charges of raping and sodomizing his abortion patients.
Patel has posted a $2,000 bond and has been released from jail after police executed search warrants on his home and abortion facility.
Now, a former customer has come forward to tell more about how Patel is the Kermit Gosnell of Oklahoma — who preys on women with abortions.
The unnamed woman who has come forward says she was pregnant when she went to his abortion clinic. She says Patel lied to her about how far along her baby was in order to charge her more for the abortion. He said he would charge $1,100 for the abortion based on the false date he gave to her.
“I went back, and they quickly did this ultrasound and he immediately said ‘You’re two weeks further along than what you’re telling me,’ and I said, ‘I don’t know how that could be,” she said.
She was scared and didn’t know what to do.
“They said, ‘Well, that’s going to be another $500,” she said.
So, she paid them.
“A nurse came into the room and strapped my wrists down to the table. They strapped my ankles down where my feet were, and she held my forehead down to the table,” she said.
She says they didn’t give her any anesthesia and the pain was unbearable.
“I’d never known anything like it in my life. It was like torture,” she said.
Those memories resurfaced when she saw that Patel was arrested.
Told that Patel would likely head to prison based on the new charges the state’s attorney general brought, the woman says he should definitely go to jail.
“He deserves it,” she says. “I had to have had something bigger than me protecting me in that room that day because physically and emotionally, I never would’ve had the strength to go through something like that.”
Police raided the Outpatient Services for Women abortion center in Oklahoma City and arrested Patel. The arrest came after a Operation Rescue filed a five-count complaint against him with the State Attorney General’s office, the Oklahoma Health Department, and the Oklahoma Medical Board.
The complaints were based on documents and medical waste that had been discarded in a publicly-accessible trash receptacle near Patel’s Outpatient Services for Women abortion clinic in Oklahoma City. The material was received by Operation Rescue from an anonymous source on March 18, 2013.

Patel (right) doesn’t face charges related to the rapes or dumping the bodies of abortion babies. Instead, Patel, 62, is accused of obtaining money by false pretenses. Patel lied to women and told them they were pregnant and then put their lives and health at risk by selling them the dangerous RU 486 (mifepristone) abortion pill that has killed dozens and injured thousands of women.
“The outrageous practice of selling abortions to non-pregnant women is actually a fairly common practice among abortionists nationwide,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “As the number of abortions drop, abortionists find themselves in greater competition for every abortion dollar. Every time a woman walks away from an abortion clinic with a negative pregnancy test, it represents about a $500 loss to the abortion business. Telling non-pregnant women that they are actually pregnant for the purpose of selling them abortions is a huge temptation to greedy abortionists who want to keep their profit margins up.”
If convicted, Patel faces up to three years in jail and a maximum fine of $15,000.
As Attorney General Scott Pruitt pointed out in his press statement about Patel’s arrest, the shocking reason behind the shady financial dealings is that Patel was prescribing abortion-inducing drugs to patients who were not pregnant.
The attorney general indicated Patel operating the Outpatient Services for Women abortion clinic in Warr Acres, Oklahoma, was charged with three counts of obtaining money under a false pretense after improperly prescribing abortion-inducing drugs to patients that he falsely identified as pregnant.
Pruitt’s office describes in detail the extent to which state law enforcement official went to obtain the evidence needed to charge the abortion doctor.

Undercover agents from the Oklahoma Medical Licensure Board, the Oklahoma City Police Department and the Attorney General’s Office set up appointments with Patel where the doctor performed ultrasounds and pregnancy tests on the women where he is alleged to have fraudulently identified each undercover agent as pregnant. Afterward, he prescribed them an abortion-inducing drug, provided directions for administering it and charged the female agents for the unnecessary treatment.
“This type of fraudulent activity and blatant disregard for the health and well-being of Oklahoma women will not be tolerated,” Attorney General Pruitt said. “Oklahoma women should be able to trust that the advice they receive from their physicians is truthful, accurate and does not jeopardize their health. This investigation is a textbook demonstration of inter-agency cooperation to protect Oklahomans and prosecute the worst offenders.”
An investigation into Patel’s dubious practices arose from a complaint that he had performed an abortion procedure on Pamela King, even though she was not pregnant. King was diagnosed and died from complications of cervical cancer later that year, and her autopsy determined that she had not been pregnant in the time frame that the abortion procedure occurred.
In 1993, Patel was charged with one count of “forcible oral sodomy” and one count of sexual battery after a patient alleged that he had sexually assaulted her on an examination table prior to an abortion. She then recorded two phone conversations with him in which she alleged that he asked if she was angry about the assault and apologized for it.
Three victims came forward and told of their horrific encounters with Patel, but somehow the jury failed to convict him.
Patel was also previously disciplined by the Oklahoma Medical Board for Unprofessional Conduct for “failing to maintain dispensing records for dangerous drugs and keep complete and accurate records of purchase and dispensing of controlled drugs” and for injuring a woman during a botched abortion.
In 1993, Patel admitted that he dumped the remains of nearly 60 babies that had been aborted at his clinic in a field near Shawnee, Oklahoma, and had attempted to burn them but only the plastic bags around the remains caught on fire. The bodies were discovered by two passers-by. Patel’s excuse that he could not find a service to take away the remains lacked credibility. Because at that time there were no laws in Oklahoma regarding the disposal of aborted baby remains, Patel was never charged.
The current case was sparked by a complaint filed by Operation Rescue in January, 2014, after it conducted an investigation into abuses at Patel’s abortion business. Attorney General Pruitt also cited a complaint concerning Pamela King, who received an abortion by Patel, then died four months later of undetected cervical cancer. An autopsy revealed that King was never pregnant.
“This time we hope that Patel will not escape justice,” said Newman. “It will be interesting to learn what evidence was collected during the police searches of Patel’s home and abortion clinic. I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last of criminal charges against this offender.”

Sen. Gillibrand: No progress combating sex assault in the military shows need for major reform
Stars and Stripes March 25, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas — Congress has provided the military more than $1 billion, enacted 249 legislative provisions and chartered panels, commissions and committees to address sexual assault in the military, yet the statistics from the past 15 years show little progress, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said Wednesday during a Senate hearing.
“Not one of these steps has reduced sexual assaults within the ranks. We are right where we were when we started, nothing has changed,” said Gillibrand, who is the chairwoman of the subpanel for military personnel on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Senators on Wednesday focused on sexual assault in the military during the hearing, which had three panels featuring survivors of sexual assault and those who advocate on their behalf and those who study the problem for the government, nonprofits or for academic research.
“Nearly every secretary of defense since Dick Cheney” has promised to do better, yet the number of assaults have remained at about 20,000 almost every year that the Defense Department has conducted prevalence surveys, Gillibrand said. “Military leadership has come before us and said that the chain of command would solve this problem. They're not solving the problem. They have failed.”
Many of the witnesses, including Quinton McNair, a retired Army veteran with more than seven years in the field of victim advocacy, offered suggestions on how the military could do a better job, including by holding perpetrators accountable.
“People who commit sexual assault are like sharks hunting. You aren't aware of them until they attack. Through accountability, we can make the water so hostile to the shark that they are afraid to hunt,” he said. “Lack of accountability emboldens them.”
No accountability also contradicts the effort of service members and civilians working within units to support victims and prevent future assaults, McNair said.
Gillibrand introduced legislation in 2013 that would overhaul the military justice system and take the decision to prosecute certain serious crimes such as sexual assaults out of the hands of commanders and give it to independent, trained military prosecutors.
“The justice system simply is in the wrong hands,” she said.
Gillibrand has not yet reintroduced the bill into this year’s legislative session.
“There is no accountability right now in the military,” said Natalie Khawam, attorney for the family of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, a soldier who was killed by another soldier at Fort Hood, Texas, nearly one year ago. Guillen told her family that she faced sexual harassment at the base but was too afraid to report it because some of those harassers were in her chain of command.
“A lot of people have a loyalty to the chain of command, but it's proven a failure. It's proven to have failed, and we need improvement,” Khawam said. “I'm here to support any kind of improvement reform to the military so our soldiers have a voice, they have the rights that we all have and they have the protections that they deserve.”
The attorney also worked last year with the Guillen family to introduce the I am Vanessa Guillen Act, which is similar to Gillibrand’s bill, but only applies to sex crimes. It also makes sexual harassment a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and changes the options for service members who report assaults.
Khawam said they intend to reintroduce the legislation this year.
Guillen’s death also resulted in the creation of the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee, which released a report in December that found the base had a climate “permissive” of sexual assault and harassment. It also included specific ways that the Army’s program to respond to and prevent sexual assault and harassment is failing soldiers.
Military leaders have told Congress that removing prosecution decisions from commanders undercuts their authority and ability to maintain unit discipline.
Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, the ranking Republican on the committee, said Wednesday that he warned service secretaries about a month ago that they are losing ground.
“There are members that are beginning to wonder whether or not we should keep the current structure,” he said, citing the Fort Hood report for sowing doubt.
Tillis said the challenge of sexual assault in the military is no different than in society or on college campuses.
“I don't want the young men and women who are considering going into the military to think it's a more dangerous environment say at the service academies than what they're going to find in any fine U.S. institution across this country,” he said.
Amy Braley Franck, founder of Never Alone, which provides advocacy and support for victims, disagreed.
“All the Gold Star mothers that I talk to [said] when their children, their soldiers, were deployed, or out of the country and being sexually assaulted, they have no bug out plan. They can't just go to a rape crisis center when they're in Afghanistan. They're not like a college student, they can't say, ‘Mom and Dad, come get me,’” she said. “They can be prosecuted if they just leave to make themselves safe.”
Meanwhile, Gillibrand said prosecution and conviction rates have gone down. In 2010, the military had a 24% conviction rate. In 2019, it dropped to 7%, which amounted to 264 cases, she said. In 2014, there were 422 cases with convictions.
Retired Air Force Col. Don Christensen, president of Protect Our Defenders, further broke down those numbers in his testimony. In fiscal year 2014, there were 4,660 unrestricted reports of sexual assault or rape. Of those, 588, or about 12.4%, were prosecuted and resulted in 204 nonconsensual sex convictions.
By fiscal year 2019, the number of unrestricted reports rose to 5,699, but prosecutions and convictions plummeted to 363 with 138 sex crime convictions, he said.
“They're taking fewer, not more cases to trial, and they're losing them at a much greater rate,” Christensen said. “Sexual assault and rape appropriately put the military justice system under the spotlight, but I … would strongly advocate for professionalizing and modernizing the justice system, even if there was not a single sex offense in the military. After 246 years, it's time for Congress to give the men and women serving our nation, a justice system worthy of their sacrifices.”
Retired Army Col. Lawrence J. Morris, chief of staff and counselor to the president of the Catholic University of America, was the main objector among the hearing’s witnesses.
“If this act were to pass, commanders would be just as responsible for their service members as they are today. They would just have an emptier toolbox. It's paradoxical to leave this responsibility to commanders, but to take away a key element of authority and undermine good order and discipline and military readiness, even more true in a deployed environment which the legislation doesn't account for,” he said.
“Three percent of commanders have convening authority for felonies and above,” Gillibrand said. “So your testimony is saying that 3% of commanders will have less tools in their toolbox. Is that not therefore saying that 97% of commanders will have the same tools they have today?”
“It's not just a matter of preferring a case to trial. It's a collaborative in developing impact on the case, from when it starts into the system,” he said.


Constable Andy Napier says he feels protective of the secondary students he works with in the Franklin area south of Auckland.
“I know that, because of what I do, these young people are going to make better choices as road users.”
He spends time with teenagers in the classroom, helping them figure out how to be responsible on the roads. He keeps up with news in the area, hoping no-one he knows gets involved
in an accident. Equally, he stays on after a lesson finishes as often there is a student lingering, waiting to express concerns about an issue in their own lives.
“We need to make sure we are there for young people – I have all sorts of important things revealed to me,”says Andy.
He says Police have effective education programmes for secondary schools to include in health classes and other curriculum areas. A msg in contxt is a unit that gets students thinking about crash risk factors, including texting while driving.
Andy says teenagers soon see the relevance to their own lives.
“They give their own examples. One girl said she was riding her bicycle with her iPod on and wanted to change play lists. She rode straight into a stack of boxes. She could certainly relate to that idea of being distracted.”
He also works with teachers on Changing Gear, a flexible programme with activities in six curriculum learning areas for year 9–10 students.
“It’s teaching kids to be safe road users rather than just drivers, because it’s about cycling and walking as well.”


“The AML/SGD series of displacement transducers were chosen for their excellent accuracy (0.1%), coupled with their high resolution and long-term stability,”
The Project – Design a Bespoke Bridge Monitoring System
Through our new Turkish distributor Sentez, Applied Measurements were asked to design a bespoke bridge monitoring system for Turkey’s new rail tunnel – The Marmaray Project. This 76.3km long tunnel is the deepest immersed tunnel in the World and is regarded as the foremost challenging infrastructure project in Turkey. Using Applied Measurements’ AML/SGD strain gauge displacement transducers, the tunnel provides a direct link between Halkalı on the European side of Istanbul, with Gebze on the Asian side. This modernised high capacity rail tunnel will carry up to an estimated 65’000 passengers per hour in 2015, increasing to a predicted 75’000 in 2025, saving commuters a 1 hour 15 minutes of travelling time*.
The Solution – AML/SGD Displacement Transducers
The Marmaray development team needed to monitor the displacement on the joints within the tunnel. To do this we created a bespoke bridge monitoring system using 3 off 50mm AML/SGD displacement transducers, forming a triaxial measurement of each joint. The AML/SGD series of displacement transducers utilise strain gauge technology to convert the linear movement of the joints within the tunnel into an analogue electrical signal.
The AML/SGD series of displacement transducers were chosen for their excellent accuracy (0.1%), coupled with their high resolution and long-term stability, making them a perfect transducer for The Marmaray Project.
“SGA series of load cell amplifiers are capable of delivering highly stable, high speed, industry standard analogue outputs,”
Custom Die-Cast Enclosure with SGA Amplifiers
Applied Measurements’ 50mm higher accuracy AML/SGD linear variable displacement transducers were wired into a custom-made IP68 die cast enclosure. This IP68 enclosure housed 3 off SGA load cell amplifiers, protecting the amplifiers from moisture ingress. This provided the Marmaray team with an amplified signal enabling them to accurately monitor the displacement of the joints within the tunnel. These SGA series of load cell amplifiers are capable of delivering highly stable, high speed, industry standard analogue outputs, such as 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA, from very low-level input signals and are available next day delivery.
Applied Measurements are proud to have been involved in such an important project for Turkey and we hope to continue to assist with new and existing projects through our new Turkish distributor Sentez. To contact our new Turkish distributor please go to their website www.sentezsistem.com.

Where Are We? Theatrical Adventures in Digital Dislocation
The foyer of the New Ohio Theater was concurrently comforting and spooky on a latest night. Look, it’s the ticket counter! And there’s the concession stand, now with LaCroix water and Purell. Nobody was shopping for, although: The place was abandoned.
I wasn’t truly on the West Village venue, after all, however watching on a display screen, from a roaming hand-held digital camera’s perspective. It was a preshow of types to “we want your listening,” the opening play of this 12 months’s Ice Factory pageant, and viewers on Zoom was milling about as mild jazz performed. It felt unusual, and a bit of unhappy, as a result of we have been there, however not likely.
A sure sense of dislocation is an integral a part of the pageant’s model of cutting-edge, progressive theater, which makes audiences rethink their acquainted moorings.
Livestreaming provides extra layers to this dislocation. Theater, normally anchored by the right here and now of bodily proximity, has turn out to be slippery. We aren’t certain the place the actors truly are, or the place they’re meant to be; watching one other Ice Factory 2020 manufacturing, the SOCIETY firm’s “Beginning Days of True Jubilation,” it took me some time to determine if characters in any given scene have been imagined to be in the identical bodily area or not. You couldn’t inform that the actors in a 3rd manufacturing, “Who’s There?,” have been based mostly within the United States, Malaysia and Singapore (remaining performances, although Aug. eight, are at both 10 a.m. or 10 p.m.).
An actor engages with numerous viewers, one after the other, in “we want your listening.”Credit…Charles Smith
In the case of “we want your listening,” the manufacturing that began within the theater’s foyer, the disconnection was usually literal, with pesky audio and video glitches hindering stretches of the 30-minute-long webcast. One factor was sure: It was annoying.
Then once more, irritation usually mixes with the giddiness of discovery for New York theatergoers throughout summer season, historically a time for festivals devoted to new works and rising artists at Off Off Broadway venues. Clubbed Thumb’s Summerworks is AWOL and Ars Nova’s ANT Fest on hiatus, however the 27th version of Ice Factory went digital, together with Dixon Place’s Hot Festival in July and the upcoming Corkscrew Theater Festival.
The three Ice Factory exhibits have been indicative of the challenges of attempting to check type and performance on-line. “Beginning Days of True Jubilation” and “we want your listening” got here throughout as experimental however would doubtless have been significantly extra typical in a bodily area, whereas “Who’s There?” is intricately tied to Zoom. (A fourth manufacturing, the musical “A Burning Church,” runs Aug. 13-15, however is just not open for overview.)
Created by Velani Dibba, Ilana Khanin, Elizagrace Madrone and Stephen Charles Smith, in collaboration with the 10-strong ensemble, “we want your listening” squarely falls within the by-now-familiar subgenre of immersive, one-on-one theater. At simply over half an hour, the present is made up of micro scenes by which the actors have interaction with a single viewer at a time. The “we” of the title might have been the actors themselves, or maybe their characters; it didn’t matter as a result of the very ideas of realness and authenticity are inherently fraught when somebody is performing for another person.
A information launch billed the scenes as exchanges, which is a stretch for the reason that viewers was muted — a sensible thought no matter the place theater occurs. And at the same time as monologues, the confessions felt distant, because the actors have been two screens eliminated, showing on telephones that have been manually carried round a bodily area.
Adding to the alienation, actors would abruptly freeze or lose audio. Because of the present’s willfully fragmented nature, I had no thought whether or not the tech points have been on goal, possibly as a press release on incommunicability within the pandemic, or if Consolidated Edison was enjoying deus ex machina (brownouts turned out to be the trigger). It all felt much less theatrical than like a catch-up session with solipsistic acquaintances cursed with dangerous reception. Do we want extra of that?
“Beginning Days of True Jubilation” was a comparatively conventional providing.Credit…through Ice Factory Festival
“Beginning Days of True Jubilation” was extra conventional, regardless of being devised experimentally: Following a collaborative methodology developed by the British firm Joint Stock within the early 1970s, the playwright Mona Mansour (“The Way West,” “Urge for Going”) and the director Scott Illingworth formed into type improvisations by the solid.
The present, which I’m now curious to see in individual, is in regards to the rise and crash of a start-up referred to as Asphera. The chief government (Annie Fox) spouts neo-corporate gobbledygook and the youthful staff — they is perhaps in a remake of “Logan’s Run,” the science-fiction movie by which individuals over 30 are killed off — have gulped the Kool-Aid, chanting the mantra “The world is a greater place due to us.”
Some of the perfect scenes contain mosaics of home windows exhibiting individuals doing numerous actions on the similar time, suggesting individualities subsumed by groupthink.
The lack of physicality modified from asset to downside in different scenes, which have been tough to parse. Er, the place are we? What’s happening? In Zoom theater, each present is “Waiting for Godot”: neither right here nor there and with no room for correct entrances and exits. Oh, for the drama of a slammed door!
The most bold challenge was “Who’s There?,” created by the Transit Ensemble and co-directed by Sim Yan Ying (who can also be within the solid) and Alvin Tan. The present multiplies bells and whistles like embedded immediate viewers polls and YouTube and Instagram Live movies, and it tackles cultural variations in three vastly totally different international locations and cultures. It a minimum of makes an attempt to lift provocative points, as when a Black American girl (Camille Thomas) assaults using blackface in a Malaysian musical based mostly on a folks story. “You can’t come right here and impose your Western concepts on us, the ‘backward, uncivilized, insensitive, blackface-loving society,’” her interlocutor (Ghafir Akbar) tells her. “You are not any totally different out of your white colonizer.”
Unfortunately, the present smothers these concepts in picket, didactic dialogue and exposition, and is overlong at 100 minutes. Maybe we weren’t in “Waiting for Godot” in spite of everything, however in “No Exit.”

E-Books through Interlibrary Loan?
In this age of technological advances, we realize that some users find it cumbersome to make use of books and other monographs in print format. However, present circumstances are not well-disposed to the obtaining and delivery of such items in electronic or digital format through the usual interlibrary loan channels. This is due primarily to copyright restrictions and other availability permissions (e.g., passworded use, paid subscriptions). Also, even though there is already a lot out there that has been digitized or exists only in electronic format, there still remains a great deal that is not. Consequentially, we cannot normally scan and reproduce an entire item, and often are not allowed to copy in excess of 15% of the page length of a book (even with the publisher's permission secured to reproduce portions). As such, when we borrow a printed book for you through interlibrary loan, we cannot also be expected to scan the complete item and deliver it electronically. This practice is not only prohibited, but in most cases would be highly impractical. You will simply have to pick up the item at the library's main desk, sign it out and use it as is.
Various alternatives exist by which you may obtain access to books in electronic format. First, it is suggested that you consult the CASE Online Catalog to search for the specific item you need in our own local holdings. In some cases you will find that we own both the print and electronic versions of a specific title, or possibly only the electronic version. The title entry line in your search results will indicate '[electronic resource]' in those instances where this format is available, and a direct link to the e-book would also appear within the bibliographic record. The library's Electronic Books page also lists various resources from which you may search available e-books, including those accessible through OhioLINK.
You might possibly want to search for electronic books in OCLC WorldCat, which you can access from our library's Research Databases page. (Select 'W' from the alpha list, then on the next page scroll down and select 'WorldCat'.) You can limit your searches by type, such as 'Computer Files' or 'Internet Resources'. Some of the bibliographic records for 'Internet Resource' type materials will include the URL for the resource, but do not guarantee open access in every instance.
If you need access to theses and dissertations in electronic format, we suggest you consult the Digital Case Electronic Theses page for our own titles, and the OhioLINK Electronic Theses page for those available from our consortium institutions. Occasionally some other university libraries from which we borrow through regular interlibrary loan (i.e., outside Ohio or the U.S.) will provide us with electronic copies exclusively, or direct us to the resource at which they may be accessed online. In such cases we may either provide the file to you through the usual ILLiad download method (if this is practicable), or direct you to the source from which you may obtain it yourself (in a request cancellation notice). Frequently we are simply referred to the University Microfilms International site, at which you may purchase a great many titles in downloadable PDF format, as well as in print. In the case of many British thesis titles, you may wish to consult the British Library EThOS site, where you can register an account and be able to download electronic copies at no charge, or purchase print versions in various formats for a fee. It is also possible to request the digitization of titles from UK institutions that are not already available in that format. Please remember that restrictions on the use of British theses obtained from this source will be clearly defined.
Another obvious resource from which you might possibly access useful popular and scholarly materials in digitized format is Google Books. Of course, you may also consider purchasing Kindle e-books from Amazon.com as a reasonable alternative option. Keep in mind that we will try to do our best to get you the books you need through regular interlibrary loan services, but we suggest you also be open to the many other convenient sources available for obtaining innovative formats more directly and in less time.

Danny Kanell explains why UCF could go ‘toe-to-toe’ with Georgia
Around the Dawg House will bring you daily updates from what people and publications are saying about Georgia, from inside and outside of Athens.
Danny Kanell makes the case for why UCF could match up with Georgia
It’s well documented that Danny Kanell isn’t very fond of the SEC conference. He’s long pounded the drum that the conference as a whole is overrated. And the CBS Sports commentator took a shot at Georgia while making the case for UCF.
The Knights are the No. 11 ranked team in the country, and hold the nation’s longest winning streak at 22 games. But despite their unbeaten record, UCF is still nowhere close to the College Football Playoff. And Kanell thinks that the Knights should be given more consideration.
Kanell said that UCF would go “toe-to-toe” with this Georgia team, citing UCF’s impressive offense, and how Georgia played against last year’s Oklahoma team in the Rose Bowl.
“You didn’t hear anybody complain about that game, when Georgia gave up over 500 yards of total offense, nobody had a problem with that,” Kanell said. “And Oklahoma almost won with an incredible offense and a sub-par defense. Does that sound familiar? That’s exactly what UCF has.”
The 2017 Oklahoma team was led by Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield, who also went on to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. While McKenzie Milton, UCF’s quarterback, is very good, he’s also not exactly at Mayfield’s level.
Kanell also added that because UCF is used to giving up points— Temple scored 40 on them— it would be better equipped than Georgia to win a shoot-out.
“They go up-tempo. They’re used to getting scored on, Georgia’s not,” he said. “That game would come down to the wire just the same way the Rose Bowl did.”
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that Georgia did win that game a season ago. And that in the second half and overtime, Oklahoma only scored one offensive touchdown. I also think that Lincoln Riley is a much better coach and play-caller than UCF’s Josh Heupel.

So, I’ve been planning our Thanksgiving meal the last few days, and was working this evening on the cooking schedule. During this process, I realized that a lot of the meal is composed of very locally produced foods.
To wit, here’s what will be having, with the local connections:
- Popovers, made with eggs from a free range chicken farm about 10 miles away
- We may have some crab apple jelly on those, made by us from crab apples grown in our yard and on some trees half a mile from here
- Mashed potatoes and celery root (both from the Hampshire College CSA), with chives from our garden
- Steamed sweet potatoes with miso/brown sugar dressing
- Boiled beets (from HC CSA)
- Broccoli and cauliflower (from HC CSA)
- Sauteed red Russian kale (from our garden)
- Sauerkraut, made by us from red cabbage from the HC CSA
- Mixed green salad with dried cranberries
- Apple pies, made with Cortland apples from Atkins Farms (whose store is 1 mile from our house, and the orchard about 2 miles away)
So only the salad and sweet potatoes don’t involve products from our immediate area. Pretty neat.
Tomorrow, I’ll provide some pictures of this fine repast.

Exclusive analysis for Somerset Live shows that Avon and Somerset police recorded 37 crimes where a child was abducted in 2017/18, meaning that a child was abducted every 9.9 days.
It is the highest number for at least five years.
There were 11 crimes of child abduction in the area in 2012/13, when comparable figures were first available. The number has risen nearly every year since then.
In 2013/14 there were 14 crimes of child abduction. That jumped to 28 in 2014/15. It fell in 2016/17 to 23 and remained the same in 2016/17.
The rise in 2017/18 means there were more than three times as many child abduction crimes in 2017/18 than in 2012/13.
Child abduction crimes can take a number of different forms.
A parent who takes or sends their child out of the UK for more than 28 days without the appropriate consent can be arrested for child abduction.
But experts say only a relatively small number of cases involve this type of behaviour.
Those who groom children online can also be guilty of child abduction if they encourage or facilitate a child to go with them somewhere - even if they never actually meet the child.
Geoff Newiss, director of Action Against Abduction, said: “While many people might think child abductions are parental - so a parent not returning a child home to their primary caregiver - that only accounts for around a fifth of all abductions.
“The majority of child abductions will be committed by people that the child knows. So for example, if a child is asked by the father of a friend to get into their car, they might not see that as stranger danger.
“You only have to think of April Jones or Holly and Jessica to realise that the people abducting children are often members of the community that the child likely knows.
“Teaching children simply to avoid strangers doesn’t work. Most strangers will help rather than harm children.
"Conversely, it is often people known to children that pose the greatest threat.
“We’ve launched a campaign called Clever Never Goes, to move the focus away from strangers and instead teach children to recognise when someone - anyone - is asking them to go with them.
“Other forms of child abduction include online exploitation. If a child has been groomed online and the groomer asks the child to meet them in a location, that would be classed as abduction.
“The police have even said that exploitation has been driving the rise in offences.

A well known pub in Croydon is set to go up for auction next month. The Bulls Head which is still trading, is set to go under the gavel on September 11 with a guide price of £500,000-550,000.
The pub in Laud Street is still open for business.
And according to senior auction valuer Sam Kiloch at Clive Emson's auctioneers in Brighton, it would be a great investment as either a pub or redevelopment.
This is something that people in Croydon may not be so happy about as it seems more and more pubs are disappearing and becoming flats.
Like the Tamworth Arms in Tamworth Road which could soon become six flats after a planning application has been submitted to Croydon Council.
And in South Norwood The Albert Tavern has become an Asset of Community Value (ACV) in a bid to stop owners Greene King selling it to developers.
Mr Kinloch said: “This former public house offers an excellent opportunity for investment, owner occupation or re-development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
“Situated on a good size plot extending to approximately 0.032 acres the property is located within close proximity of Croydon town centre with its array of shops and amenities."
He adds that its proximity to East Croydon station increases the building's attractiveness
“Transport networks are provided by the nearby East Croydon railway station, providing links to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport. Croydon is undergoing huge regeneration and is in the process of building Westfield Shopping Centre and Cross Rail transport links,” he added.
The Bulls Head has been contacted for comment.
Full details of the auction can be found at www.cliveemson.co.uk .

NEW YORK (AP) — A former White House adviser under President Barack Obama has been sentenced to a year in prison for stealing $218,000 from a national charter school network he founded.
Seth Andrew pleaded guilty in January to wire fraud.
He admitted he moved money from the school network, Democracy Prep, to other bank accounts without authorization.
Prosecutors say 43-year-old Andrew stole the money in 2019.
Democracy Prep was founded in New York City in 2005.
It expanded across the U.S. after its methods were credited with raising test scores for economically challenged children in Harlem.

The Inspector General at Iraq’s Interior Ministry believes that 75% of the money used on the fake ADE-651 bomb detectors actually went to kickbacks to Iraqi officials. Baghdad spent approximately $122 million on the devices beginning in 2007. That would mean around $91.5 million was pocketed by corrupt members of the Ministry. In February 2011, General Jihad al-Jabiri, the commander of the Ministry’s bomb division was arrested for purchasing the detectors, so he probably took the lion’s share of the money. His detention was only possible because former Interior Minister Jawad Bolani stepped down after the March 2010 parliamentary elections. Before, he had evoked Article 136(b) that allows ministers to stop investigations. The Inspector General was also able to recover $20 million from the purchase of the devices and return it to the government. This is just one example of the high level of corruption that goes on within the Iraq. It’s yet to be seen whether General Jabiri will be prosecuted as no other high officials have ever been sent to jail for graft.
