How deep do containers need to be for cherry tomatoes?
Your container should be at least a foot deep. But, more importantly, look for a pot that is a minimum of 14 inches wide and can hold at least five gallons. Make sure there are plenty of drainage holes in the bottom and don't be afraid to drill out a few more if needed.
Do grape tomato plants need cages?
Most grape tomatoes will require staking or caging to do well. Spacing should be 24-36 inches apart (in all directions) and stakes or cages should support the plant and individual stems as needed. Once tomatoes begin to appear, they begin to really crowd in there, so be ready for a large harvest.
Do grape tomatoes need a trellis?
Grape tomatoes grow well when daytime temperatures are between 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit (18-30 degrees Celsius). Like all tomato varieties, it needs well-draining and nutrient-rich loamy soil. It requires consistent watering, and the soil shouldn't dry out. You will also need a trellis or stakes to support the plants.
Do cherry tomatoes grow well in pots?
While cherry tomatoes can be grown in a garden bed as well as in containers, they are perfectly suited to container growing and an easy beginner vegetable to start your gardening adventure with.
How tall do cherry tomato plants grow in pots?
Determinate cherry tomato plants will grow to be 2-4 feet tall – a good size for the average container plant. Many bush tomato varieties fall into this category. Keep in mind that these tomato plants produce most of their fruit at one flush, mostly within a 2-3 week period.
How do you grow grape tomatoes in pots?
How long do grape tomatoes take to grow?
Grape tomato plants grow at about the same speed as other tomato plants. The small fruit takes less time to grow and ripen. The fruit should begin to ripen about 70 days after you set seedlings out into the garden.
How do you prune grape tomatoes?
Prune the cherry tomato plant to one or at most two main stems, and remove lower branches to deter splashback reinfection of pathogens left in the dirt from previous years. Pinch the new suckers soon after they appear. The best way to do this is with your fingers, twisting the sucker until it snaps off.
How deep do cherry tomato roots go?
The ideal depth would be greater than 2 feet (60 cm) because, in general, tomato roots can grow anywhere between 2 and 3 feet, even though around 2 feet is more common.
Can I grow cherry tomatoes in a hanging basket?
The best tomato plants for hanging are varieties of cherry and grape tomatoes. These small-fruited plants hold up to container growing much better than large slicing tomatoes and their long, ropey vines trail over container edges.
How do you keep tomato plants in pots?
Is it hard to grow grape tomatoes?
A container vegetable garden on a sunny porch or patio lets you enjoy homegrown grape tomatoes easily. It's relatively easy to enjoy a bountiful harvest from just a few potted plants, if you give them just a bit of special attention to keep the harvest coming.
How do you stake cherry tomatoes in pots?


San Diego alt-rockers Gun Runner are not an easy band to pin down.
Their music draws from an array of influences, styles, and genres so diverse that it defies categorization. With just one listen to the band’s San Diego Music Award-nominated EP, Bad Neighbor, you’ll find yourself taking musical trips into classic rock, indie, punk, jazz, and even dance.
That’s not to say their music is in any way schizophrenic, however. The band, led by Sean Davenport, has a clear vision for their sound. This notion is reinforced by their debut full-length, Obstacles and Experiments, which saw a surprise release August 10 on iTunes.
With Obstacles and Experiments — recorded in January at Escondido’s Chaos Records — the band is essentially guaranteed another nod at the next SDMAs. Like Neighbor, Obstacles showcases Davenport’s immense talent behind the keys, as well as the abilities of his bandmates — Tommy Graf (vocals, keys, guitar), Diego Rojano (vocals, bass), and Seth Cash (drums) — who follow his demanding lead.
Traces of influences like Paul McCartney, Tom Waits, and LCD Soundsystem ebb and flow throughout the album, but the presence of such musical heavyweights is never overbearing. Similarly, the band teases different genres from song to song, but instead of adopting a predetermined style, they just leave subtle hints — or fuse genres together in a live action shout-out to mashup artists like Girl Talk. Yet for all the twists and turns, Obstacles and Experiments never feels disjointed. If anything, it’s a solid landing by a group of talented musical acrobats.
The album is currently available only on iTunes, but physical copies should be pressed in time for Gun Runner’s next show — September 15 at the Soda Bar.

While McDonald’s works out its plant-based plans, Tokyo startup Next Meat Co. swoops in to give Americans their vegan McRib-style fix.
Vegan McRib sandwiches may not be on the McDonald’s menu anytime soon but Japanese startup Next Meat Co. is giving Americans the next best thing. On June 19, Tokyo-based Next Meat Co., in collaboration with fast-food chain Wayback Burgers, will offer free samples of two vegan sliders made with Yakiniku Short Ribs—the startup’s tender vegan barbecue short ribs—at the Sacramento Vegan Food Festival. The Pioneer slider is topped with pickles and ketchup while The East Meets West slider features kimchi and ponzu cucumbers.
The one-day giveaway is meant to gain feedback from festival-goers about the vegan barbecue short ribs and the east-meets-west collaboration with Wayback Burgers—which is slated to open a new Sacramento location. “[We are] excited for people to taste this innovative meatless creation between a long-established American restaurant brand and a food-tech venture from the other side of the world,” Next Meats Holdings CEO Ryo Shirai said.
The limited-time collaboration between Next Meats and Wayback Burgers comes ahead of the Japanese startup’s official launch in the United States. On June 23, Next Meats is launching its e-commerce retail shop serving the Los Angeles area where customers can purchase its vegan Yakiniku Short Ribs to make their own versions of the McRib. Next Meats also plans to launch its products in US supermarkets.
Vegan short ribs go global
Founded in 2020, Next Meats aims to raise awareness around the damaging effects of animal agriculture and offer alternatives to popular Japanese meat cuts such as kalbi (barbecue short ribs) and harami (skirt steak). Domestically, the startup’s products—which are made with a base of non-GMO soy—are distributed at select locations of Japanese superstore Ito Yokado and its vegan meats can also be found on the menu at Yakiniku Like, a barbecue restaurant with locations across Japan.
Next Meats has only been in operation for one year and its products are already offered in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore, and it is currently planning to expand its distribution to six additional countries, including the US.
Vegan at McDonald’s
A vegan McRib sandwich at McDonald’s is only a pipe dream, for now. The fast-food giant announced last year that it entered into a three-year strategic partnership with vegan brand Beyond Meat to work on its McPlant platform, which will result in the global launch of various new menu items—such as plant-based burgers, chicken substitutes, and plant-based breakfast sandwiches.
In February, McDonald’s trialed the first item developed from this platform: the McPlant Burger made with a plant-based patty developed exclusively for McDonald’s from pea and rice protein, that comes topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mustard, ketchup, egg-based mayonnaise, and dairy-based cheese. The trial was held at select locations in Sweden and Denmark with the aim of rolling out the meatless McPlant Burger to locations in other markets.
US customers have yet to get a substantial plant-based option, primarily because the huge chain is slower than its competitors to adapt to current trends. In a recent interview with Fortune, former McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski revealed that the plant-based trend was a long-term strategy that the chain is investing in and the changes to the menu would take time to implement.
Referencing a notion expressed by McDonald’s founder Ray Croc who once stated that he didn’t know what the chain would be selling in five or 10 years but that he was sure McDonald’s would be selling the most of that thing, Kempczinski said, “That’s a little bit of my attitude when it comes to plant-based or chicken or beef, which is we follow the customer, so wherever the customer wants to go, we’re going to evolve our menu to meet those needs.”

Two artists with North East connections have been successful in a national art competition run every year at the Mall Galleries in London.
Painter Andrew Gifford won the top £5,000 ING Prize in the competition, sponsored by ING Commercial Banking, for his oil painting, The Tyne at Wallsend, Study 1.
Sculptor Joseph Hillier landed the £250 North of England regional prize for his sculpture, Binary Biped.
Andrew was born in Yorkshire but grew up outside Middlesbrough. He studied fine art at Newcastle University and, after graduating in 1992, moved to France.
Years later he yearned for a return to the North East which had been a source of inspiration.
“I longed to spend a bit of time in the North East to remind myself where I’m from and reconnect with it,” he said.
Last April he returned to Wallsend and the streets he used to spend time painting as a student.
“One day, with an hour left of spring sunshine, I moved down to the river and the industrial area to start a painting,” he recalled.
“Something magical happened to the river and the sky as the concrete jetties and warehouses turned the colour of molten steel from a blast furnace.”
His series of studies of that scene, including Study 1, were the starting point for four large studio paintings produced that spring.
Some of his sculptures are on the campus of Newcastle University and he has also exhibited throughout this year at the Cheeseburn sculpture park in Northumberland .
The prizes are awarded at the opening of the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition which is organised by The Discerning Eye, an educational charity which encourages a wider appreciation of the visual arts.
It is an exhibition of small works selected by six prominent figures in the art world – two artists, two collectors and two critics.
This year they were Emma Bridgewater and Nicole Farhi (artists), Larry Lamb and former Baltic director Stephen Snoddy (collectors) and Stephen Doherty and Steve Pill (critics).
The exhibition, featuring 457 works by 197 artists, runs at the Mall Galleries until Sunday. Find details on www.discerningeye.org

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – A twice-convicted killer was released from prison earlier this year under what’s known as a “compassionate release”, because the killer who was sentenced to spend the rest of their life behind bars had been diagnosed with COPD.
Now, the family of one of her victims are outraged over the compassion this murderer is being shown – while their father was shown no compassion from his violent death over 30 years earlier.
Instead of being in prison, 67-year-old Jessie Alexander is now living at her relatives home under a form of hospice care due to her expected death within a year’s time due to the disease often attributed to smoking.
Alexander also murdered her brother in law in 1980 and was placed on probation under a conviction of voluntary manslaughter.
Then, in 1984, she killed again.
Alicia Russell-Jenkins, now 48-years-old, was only 12 when her father was shot in the head by Alexander. Back in 1984, Russell-Jenkins’ father had decided to end an affair with Alexander and in a fit of rage she shot the 33-year-old several time in the head.
Thereafter, Alexander doused the man’s body in acid and dumped his body in a vacant lot in the 4300 block of Rising Sun Avenue. Russell-Jenkins’ father’s body was so mutilated from the shooting and the acid, the family was forced to have his body cremated instead of a proper burial.

Proceeds get reinvested into having active, retired and wounded officers, their families and supporters tell more of these stories. Click to check it out.
In April of 2020, Alexander was approved to be released to an East Falls hospice facility after her lawyer, Samuel Stretton, petitioned for the move. By July, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Glenn Bronson granted that she be moved in with her family after Stretton presented that petition as well.
Russell-Jenkins is disgusted by the move:
“We’re not talking about a drug dealer. We’re not talking about misdemeanor cases. We’re talking about a sociopath, a live murderer. We don’t feel safe knowing that she’s out here somewhere.”
Now a parent herself, Russell-Jenkins alleges that she was kept in the dark about the whole process until after Alexander’s first release over to the hospice in April.
While the DA’s Office and the state Office of Victim Advocate claim they reached out to Russell-Jenkins prior to the April granting of release, Russell-Jenkins showcased a April letter that was postmarked in May – after Alexander was already granted a compassionate release.
What has Russell-Jenkins all the more furious is that Alexander didn’t just kill once – but was convicted of killing twice:
“If she murdered once, OK, maybe you can forgive her. But then she murdered my father. She’s living in peace after committing two cold-blooded murders.”
After learning about her father’s killer being released and then hearing that she was about to be moved from hospice into homecare to be surrounded by family, Russell-Jenkins, her cousin, and her own daughter petitioned the courts to not grant to move from hospice to homecare.
The judge in the case acknowledged the letters during the July hearing – and still let Alexander go to live with her family.
Alexander’s attorney, Stretton, actually took on the case for free after hearing about this murderer suffering from COPD. Stretton actually said he doesn’t “quite understand” why the family of the victim isn’t considering “forgiveness”:
“She’s served a long time, since 1984 for serious crimes. … I don’t quite understand why victims, after all these years, might not have a little bit of forgiveness. It helps the healing to forgive.”
Yet, this attorney seemingly doesn’t care what Russell-Jenkins is going through, because he says the law “allows” these releases:
“But that’s neither here nor there. This is not a morality play. The statute allows it, and we’re trying to help prisoners who can’t help themselves to die with a little more dignity and less pain.”
Yet Russell-Jenkins’ father was afforded no such “dignity” from Alexander when she shot him in the head numerous times and doused him in acid – just to be discarded in some vacant lot. Maybe that’s why that’s why there’s no room to entertain “forgiveness” from the victim’s family.
Joan Porter, who serves as a volunteer for the Pennsylvania Prison Society, also lent her commentary on the case saying that people “change over time”:
“What she did was terrible, but she’s not that person anymore, and even if she is that person, which I find very difficult to believe, keeping her in jail isn’t going to bring the other families’ family back.”
While Porter may claim that Alexander may not be “that person anymore” that murdered two men, those two victims aren’t alive anymore.
This is most certainly one of the most egregious forms of injustice – affording “compassionate releases” to cold-blooded killers that never extended their victims any such compassion before executing them.

|The story of change|
Yes! - 7/17/2012. By Annie Leonard – I used to think the truth would set us free. Like many who care about the environment, I spent years thinking that information would lead to change. If only people realize the mess our planet is in, I thought, things will change. So I wrote reports, gave speeches, even testified before Congress. Some things changed. Sadly, the big picture didn’t.
|Small-scale grains: another piece of the locavore puzzle|
Grist - 7/16/2012. By Rhea Kennedy – On the East Coast, Virginia’s Moutoux Orchards is growing and milling wheat and barley to nestle beside produce, dairy, eggs, and meat in its Full Diet CSA. To the west, Windborne Farm of northern California offers a grain CSA featuring not just wheat and barley, but also rare grains like teff and millet raised using a pair of draft horses.
Maine Sunday Telegram - 7/15/2012. By Georgina Gustin (McClatchy Newspapers) – Richwoods, Missouri: Les Nydegger bought 55 acres of rolling Missouri woodland about 15 years ago, thinking he would use the land for hunting and fishing some day. But earlier this year, after retiring from a quarter-century-long career at Anheuser-Busch, he decided he hadn't gotten quite enough of the beer business. So he cleared an acre of forest, stuck 20-foot-tall cedar poles in the ground and planted hops.
|A world without coral reefs|
The New York Times - 7/15/2012. By Roger Bradbury – It’s past time to tell the truth about the state of the world’s coral reefs, the nurseries of tropical coastal fish stocks. They have become zombie ecosystems, neither dead nor truly alive in any functional sense, and on a trajectory to collapse within a human generation.

Can you put a microwave in an open cabinet?
And while many bloggers will advise you to install a microwave in your kitchen cabinets, we strongly advise against it. A microwave oven, designed exclusively for a kitchen countertop, has vents that are built into the back of microwave. Talk about a fire hazard for your kitchen.
How deep should microwave shelf be?
The NKBA’s official guidelines recommend placing the shelf or cabinet the microwave sits on well below eye level, at 24 to 48 in. off the ground.
What is the standard cabinet opening for a microwave?
Built-In Microwave Dimensions Widths align with standard cabinet widths, usually 24, 27 or 30 inches. Height typically ranges from 17 to 22 inches. Depths range from roughly 20 to 25 inches with the door closed and 30 to 35 inches with the door open.
How do you cut cabinets to fit in the microwave?
How to Shorten the Cupboards Above a Microwave
- Draw a line horizontally across the measurement where you wish to cut the cabinet.
- Set a table saw if the doors are solid-slab.
- Cut off raised or inset panel doors for another option.
- Set a circular saw blade to cut to a depth of 3/4 inch.
What kind of microwave can I put in a cabinet?
Built-in microwaves can be installed into a wall or cabinet for convenient operation. With a similar capacity to other microwave styles, the built-in design has the advantages of saving counter space and being able to be installed away from the range, allowing multiple people more space to cook together.
Does a countertop microwave need ventilation?
Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. Do not place cookbooks, small appliances, or other items on top of the microwave.
Why are built in microwaves so expensive?
Built-in microwave ovens are known for being slightly more expensive because of the installation cost, which should always be completed by a professional.
Where do you put a microwave in a tiny kitchen?
When determining where to put a microwave in a small kitchen, the ultimate goal is to create or maintain as much space as possible. Therefore, the best places for a microwave in a small kitchen would be on a microwave rack, a baker’s rack, or hutch pantry, as well as inside custom cabinetry or counters.
How do I know what size built in microwave I have?
The internal measurements of a microwave are stated in cubic feet. To determine cubic feet, one should multiply the microwave’s interior length by width by height, then divide this total by 1,728. So, a microwave that is 18 by 14 by 12 inches is 1.75 cubic feet in size.
How big is 0.7 cubic feet microwave?
A typical 0.7 cubic feet microwave has a net weight of 21 pounds. Its overall depth is typically 12.75 inches, overall height is 10.19 inches, and overall width is 17.31 inches, thus its cavity measurement is about 12¼ inches by 7⅞ inches x 11⅝ inches.

As frequent travelers know many airlines keep their IFE (In Flight Entertainment) system switched off on domestic/short range routes because – using Mary Kirby’s (aka RunwayGirl) words – “Some carriers decide that the costs do not outweigh the gains, even after installs”. Basing on my personal experience, the Italian flag company was among those who didn’t give their travellers the pleasure of personal televisions on domestic and short range networks until Giovanni Maduli sent me the following picture he took on an Alitalia A320 flying from Cagliari to Rome with an operative IFE. The system provides each passenger with a moving map or a selection of channels broadcasting movies, sports, children’s shows and fashion: a pleasant surprise.

Managing Diversity and Inclusion in the Global Value Chain
Mustafa F Ozbilgin, Managing Diversity and Inclusion in the Global Value Chain. Strategies Account Manag. 1(2).SIAM.000508.2019.
2 Pages Posted: 18 Dec 2019
Date Written: November 14, 2019
Although many global and multinational organizations today have global diversity management statements, strategies and policies, their practices of diversity tend to remain local at the national level, rather than to comply with the global policies that organizations espouse to have. There are significant reasons for this. First, diversity means different things across different countries as history gives meaning to diversity and inclusion. For example, in the case of Britain the colonial past and therefore multiculturalism has been the dominant rationale for diversity. Yet, in the case of Germany, the Nazi past prevents measurement and discussion of race and ethnic diversity unlike the way it is customary in English speaking countries Al Ariss et al. Second owing to significant differences among social movements and historical context that give meaning to categories of diversity and inclusion, highly varied priorities, practices and regulatory schemes have developed in each country. Third, laws that regulate the diversity and Inclusion in organizations are national rather than global or international in nature, which means that in the absence of international laws in this field, cross-nationally consistent regulation of global organizations for diversity and inclusion remains an aloof ideal.

SHE may have had the most famous model line-up compared to her peers when she presented her Central Saint Martins graduate fashion collection, but Stella McCartney has admitted that she recalls the moment that Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Yasmin Le Bon hit the catwalk (and subsequently the following day's headlines) with mixed feelings.
"I look back on that moment and feel a bit embarrassed that I was so naive," she told Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. "They were my mates and that's who I was hanging out with at college. Kate was even living with me for a period of time and that was what I was engaging with outside of my college life, so when it came to choosing the models for my degree show, I thought, 'Well I might as well ask my friends'. I can understand why it was headline news and may have pissed my fellow students off a tad, but it was a very Brit moment."

Normal and dangerous child labour culture
THE recent heartbreaking news of two brothers; brutally beaten and tortured by their employers with one succumbing to his injuries while the other remains in critical condition, has shaken the society to its core.
But as harsh and inhumane as it may sound, it’s not an unfamiliar sight in a country where concrete laws protecting domestic workers is still a far-fetched thought.
According to the statistics by the International Labour Organization (ILO) last year, Pakistan has more than 8.5 million domestic workers, among which mostly are women and children.
And some of them are frequently suffering from abuse and ridicule at the hands of their employers.
A highly disdaining situation which shines the spotlight on the incapabilities of the system to hold the culprits accountable with stern punishment.
This incident comes close to a similar murder case where a young girl was beaten to death by her employers for releasing caged, valuable birds. And these are just those cases which have caught the attention of the media.
Far too many similar stories of torment and torture, including unaccounted sexual assaults lies behind closed doors.
Child domestic labour is easily one of the leading concerns poisoning our society right now.
The biggest dilemma lies where whole families including underage children as young as 5 years old are well adjusted into the ‘business’ where employers consider it justifiable to make them work long hours on account of being provided accommodation and food as well.
In 2019, Punjab province made a historical movement when it passed a law which is going to bar child labour in homes and extended labour law and social security to all domestic staff.
It enumerates various rights and entitlement of domestic workers. The law forbids the use of the word “servant” for a domestic worker.
It prohibits the engagement of a domestic worker in a labour system or forced or partly forced labour system.
The Act further proscribes discrimination against a domestic worker on the basis of religion, race, caste, creed, sex, ethnic background, and place of birth/residence.
But while it is one thing to make a law- it’s a whole nother thing to actually have it implemented effectively.
Since the emergence of covid-19, there has been a rise in the hiring of domestic helpers.
Which means there is no accountability and check into how many children are illegally being employed.
Perhaps the biggest dilemma is the lack of awareness from domestic workers themselves. They are not well-equipped with and have limited knowledge on their rights when it comes to the constitution.
There is only a limited number of registered domestic workers within the system. This is far from the expected target which means the government is unaware of the exact figures of hired domestic helpers.
Domestic child labour is a dominating culture which unfortunately will not die out anytime soon.
The societal framework which is adapted through generations of practice makes child labour a rather civil and acceptable practice.
Only when the demographics of a socio economical society is stressed, and when we are able to instill in our youth the understanding of the serious consequences of having little children work hard hours of labour, will there be the hope of practical adaptability.
Alone a regulatory system continues to lack efficiency and is otherwise just a non-functional law.

Last week, after the FBI dropped their Friday before Labor Day weekend bomb on Hillary, we wrote about the various events leading up to the deletion of Hillary's emails (full details here: "The "Oh Shit" Moment: Hillary Wiped Her Server With BleachBit Despite Subpoena"). At the end of that post we concluded that the "Undisclosed PRN Staff Member" managing Hillary's servers on behalf of Platte River Networks had seemingly thrown himself under the bus by admitting to the FBI that he "was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton's e-mail data on the PRN server" but then went ahead and deleted the emails anyway.
According to new info from the New York Times, that "Undisclosed PRN Staff Member" is Paul Combetta and apparently hisbrazen honesty during FBI interviews came only after receiving an immunity deal from the Justice Department.
For those who "do not recall" the specific timeline leading up to Combetta wiping Hillary's server, here is a breif recap:
December 2014 / January 2015 – “Undisclosed Clinton staff member” instructs Combetta to remove archives of Clinton emails from PRN server but he forgets.
March 4, 2015 – Hillary receives subpoena from House Select Committee on Benghazi instructing her to preserve and deliver all emails from her personal servers.
March 25, 2015 – Combetta has a conference call with “President Clinton’s Staff.”
March 25 – 31, 2015 – Combetta has “oh shit” moment and realizes he forgot to wipe Hillary’s email archive from the PRN server back in December…which he promptly does using BleachBit.
February 18, 2016 - Combetta meets with FBI and denies knowing about the existense of the subpoena from the House Select Committee on Benghazi at the time he wiped Hillary's server.
May 3, 2016 - Combetta has follow-up meeting with the FBI and admits that he "was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton's e-mail data on the PRN server."
And here are the details from the FBI Notes:

A wider coalition of more than 30 Internet companies and civil liberties, environmental and political organizations is arriving together with a global call to “Reset the Net” that aimed to beat government and corporate surveillance on the web making mass Internet surveillance more difficult for the NSA and other spy agencies and governments.
The campaign is similar to 'The Black-Out Day', the largest online protest in the history of the Internet, successfully carried out by Google, Wikipedia, WordPress and many other companies to protest two federal bills, the Senate’s Protect IP Act and the House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Thousands of websites went dark over the internet to stop mass surveillance conducted by the government.
But later the US government molded its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in such a way that, now it legally allowed them to monitor Billions of calls in a day and tracking a million of the devices, and this is what we cannot allow them to make happen.
The new campaign is organized by Fight for the Future, which is planning a day to "Reset the Net" by deploying new privacy tools and enhanced security measures on June 5, exactly a year after the first Edward Snowden revelation regarding the NSA’s PRISM program, based on documents the former NSA contractor provided to the media.
The coalition includes Web sites such as Reddit, Boing Boing, Imgur, DuckDuckGo, the Free Software Foundation, CREDO Mobile, along with a number of organizations like the Freedom of the Press Foundation, Demand Progress, the Open Technology Institute, the Libertarian Party.
"The NSA is exploiting weak links in Internet security to spy on the entire world, twisting the Internet we love into something it was never meant to be: a panopticon," they say. "We can't stop targeted attacks, but we *can* stop mass surveillance, by building proven security into the everyday Internet."
The groups are encouraging developers to add at least one NSA resistant feature to mobile apps and Internet users to use privacy and security tools such as a secure version of HTTP i.e. HTTPS, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), a Web security policy tool, and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) which is a public key cryptography tool to better secure the communication of Internet users and fail government intelligence agencies’ man-in-the-middle attacks.
“HTTPS, HSTS, and PFS are powerful tools that make mass spying much more difficult,” the groups state. “Until websites use them, we’re sunk: agencies like the NSA can spy on everything. Once they’re ubiquitous, mass surveillance is much harder and more precarious—even if you’re the NSA.”
The Government and NSA always defended their mass surveillance program as a part of the legal action, by saying that it is necessary and only carried out to target terrorists and related crimes just to protect the security of the nation.But we, sitting over here, are not fool to differentiate between the ‘security of the nation’ and ‘security of our privacy’. One has no right to risk other’s security to protect one’s own.

On May 19, in Union of India vs Mohit Minerals, the Supreme Court of India delivered a ruling which is likely to have an impact far wider than what the Centre might have imagined when it brought the case up on appeal. At stake was the validity of a levy imposed on importers, of Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) on ocean freight paid by foreign sellers to foreign shipping lines. The Gujarat High Court had declared the tax illegal. The Supreme Court affirmed the ruling through Justice D.Y. Chandrachud’s judgment and held that the levy constituted double taxation — that is, that the importer, which was already paying tax on the “composite” supply of goods, could not be asked to pay an additional tax on a perceived “service” that it may have received.
In making this finding, the Court proceeded on a technical reading of various laws, in particular the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act. That reading, in and by itself, has limited implications. But the Court also made a slew of observations, which, if taken to their logical conclusion by State legislatures, could potentially transform the future of fiscal federalism in India. It held, for instance, that both Parliament and the State legislatures enjoy equal power to legislate on Goods and Services Tax (GST), and that the Goods and Services Tax Council’s recommendations were just that: recommendations that could never be binding on a legislative body.
Reacting to the ruling, the Union Ministry of Finance has claimed that it “does not in any way lay down anything new”, and that it “does not have any bearing on the way GST has been functioning in India, nor lays down anything fundamentally different to the existing framework of GST”. But a close reading of the judgment belies this suggestion. Until now, governments across India have treated the GST Council’s recommendations — even where they disagreed with them — as sacrosanct, because they believed that this was indeed the law. What Mohit Minerals holds, though, is that State governments, on a proper construal of the Constitution, need to hardly feel circumscribed by any such limitation. As such, according to the Court, State legislatures possess the authority to deviate from any advice rendered by the GST Council and to make their own laws by asserting, in the process, their role as equal partners in India’s federal architecture.
Advent of Articles
When, in July 2017, the Union government introduced the GST regime through the 101st constitutional Amendment, it did so based on an underlying belief that tax administration across India needed unification. ‘One Nation, One Tax’, was the mantra. To give effect to this idea, many entries in the State list of Schedule VII of the Constitution were either deleted or amended. No longer could State governments, for example, legislate on sale or purchase of goods (barring a few exceptions, such as petroleum and liquor) through the ordinary legislative route. Instead, a power to legislate on GST was inserted through a newly introduced Article 246A. This provision overrode the general dominion granted to Parliament and State legislatures to bring laws on various subjects and afforded to them an express authority to make legislation on GST.
In addition, the 101st Amendment also established, through Article 279A, a GST Council. This body comprises the Union Finance Minister, the Union Minister of State for Finance, and Ministers of Finance from every State government. The Council was given the power to “make recommendations to the Union and States” on several different matters. These include a model GST law, the goods and services that may be subjected to or exempted from GST and the rates at which tax is to be levied. In framing the manner in which the Council’s votes are to be reckoned with, the Union government was granted a virtual veto.
As I wrote in these pages when the Amendment was first introduced, there was some amount of confusion on whether the Council’s decisions would be binding. The use of the word “recommendations” suggested on the one hand that its decisions would be advisory, at best. But, at the same time, the fact that Article 279A directed the establishment of a mechanism to adjudicate disputes between governments on decisions taken by the Council suggested that those governments would, in fact, be bound by any advice rendered to them. If the former reading was to be deployed, the purpose behind the introduction of a common GST would be in jeopardy. But the latter interpretation effectively entailed a destruction of the well-laid plans of the Constituent Assembly. Fiscal responsibilities that had been divided with much care and attention between the Union and the States would now stand dissolved.
Not a symmetrical compact
In its judgment in Mohit Minerals, the Supreme Court has provided what ought to be seen as the final word on this conundrum. Although States had until now proceeded on a tacit belief that the GST Council’s recommendations were binding, such an approach, in Justice Chandrachud’s words, would run counter both to the express words of the Constitution and the philosophical values underlying the language deployed. Our federal compact, the judgment holds, is not symmetrical, in that there are certain areas of the Constitution that contain a “centralising drift” — where the Union is granted a larger share of the power — and there are other areas where equal responsibility is vested.
Article 246A, which was introduced by the 101st Amendment, is one such clause. The provision provides concomitant power both to the Union and to the State governments to legislate on GST. It does not discriminate between the two in terms of its allocation of authority. That allocation, according to the Court, cannot be limited by a reading of Article 279A, which establishes a GST Council, and which treats the Council’s decisions as “recommendations”. “If the GST Council was intended to be a decision-making authority whose recommendations transform to legislation,” wrote Justice Chandrachud, “such a qualification would have been included in Articles 246A or 279A.” But in the present case, no such qualification can be found.
The Court’s ruling does not mean that a legislature — whether Parliament or the States’ — cannot through statutory law make the Council’s recommendations binding on executive bodies. Indeed, insofar as the laws today make such a mandate, rulemaking by the executive would necessarily have to be bound by the Council’s advice. But a constitutional power, in the Court’s ruling, can never be limited through statute. Such curbs must flow only from the Constitution. And in this case, in the Court’s analysis, no restrictions on legislative power can be gleaned on a meaningful reading of the Constitution.
Today, because of the ruling in Mohit Minerals, State governments will be free to exercise independent power to legislate on GST. It is possible that this might lead to conflicting taxation regimes, with the idea of ‘One Nation One Tax’ rendered nugatory. But as the Court puts it, “Indian federalism is a dialogue between cooperative and uncooperative federalism where the federal units are at liberty to use different means of persuasion ranging from collaboration to contestation.”
GST was conceived as a product of what some described as “pooled sovereignty”. But perhaps it is only in an administrative area, animated by contestation, where we can see synergy between different sovereign units, where our nation can take a genuine turn towards a more “cooperative federalism”.

Completed in GEO 441 – GIS for Community Development, Ryan Adriatico’s map depicts an analysis of access to low cost, public transit options with an emphasis on Divvy, Chicago’s first bike sharing program. Established in Chicago on June 28, 2013, Divvy is still growing, and this map will give context as to where the service needs to branch out. On top of being a low-cost alternative, Divvy also offers an option that has a low environmental impact, as it creates less vehicular transport, meaning less carbon emissions and congestion. Access to transportation is a common indicator of one’s quality of life, allowing people to go to work, school, and fulfill the basic needs of their daily lives. Without proper access to transportation, satisfying these basic needs would prove to be troublesome, especially for those in low income areas where vehicle ownership is less likely. What neighborhoods in Chicago, if any, would benefit most by the addition of a Divvy Station?
This map was created using ESRI ArcGIS 10.2. Existing Divvy Stations, CTA Rail Stations, and Bus Stops were plotted to identify the scope of low cost public transit availability in Chicago. Utilizing demographic data from the City of Chicago Data Portal, neighborhoods within Chicago that have over 25% of their population living below the poverty line were identified as communities that are in great need of these low cost transit options. With these regions delineated, 0.5 mile buffers were created around all existing transit locations (excluding buses since their service is expansive and adds to congestion and CO2 emission issues) to depict the areas within these neighborhoods that are well served within a walkable distance to transit. Combining all of this data, neighborhoods that are underserved by transit options with over 25% of their population living below the poverty line were highlighted in red to indicate areas that could benefit from a Divvy Station. All of these regions are on the South and West side of the city. As it stands, Divvy is more concentrated on the north side of the city. Divvy should strive to serve these communities in order to give them a low-cost transit option with a low environmental impact moving forward. The following community areas would benefit the most from new Divvy Stations: Armour Square, Douglas, Riverdale, Auburn Gresham, Englewood, South Chicago, Austin, Fuller Park, South Deering, Bronzeville, Grand Crossing, South Shore, Burnside, Lower West Side, Washington Park, Chatham, New City, West Pullman, Chicago Lawn, North Lawndale, Woodlawn, Chinatown, Oakland.

"Because The Internet" (For Childish Gambino) - Illustration by Sam SprattAfter illustrating Donald Glover’s Royalty series, he hit me up again to create the poster for his new album “Because The Internet”. The artwork ties directly into the narrative of his album and its screenplay (which are incredible — seriously, look and listen to this, it’s beautiful and crazy) — and while I was mostly given free reign, he handled all art direction personally.I won’t be selling the poster personally, but you can get them at the mansion parties he’s throwing — more in the near future.


MST (Meyer und Stüdeli, also known for their brand name “Roamer”) is a manufacturer, which still exists today. In their early times, they made simple cylinder movement, before they became famous for their very well made pallet lever movements.
Most probably in the 1930s and 1940s, this cylinder movement for ladies' watches was made, at a time, where cylinder movements were considered already technically obsolete.
Except for the upper (visible!) balance wheel bearing, the MST 323 completely lacks ruby bearings.
The gear train of this pillar construction is standard: Mainspring barrel (with ratchet on the dial side), directly driven center minute wheel, third wheel, seconds wheel at 6 o’clock and finally a steel cylinder wheel.
Of course, the flat anular balance is not shock protected. On the visible side (on the movement side), its axle is beared in a ruby bearing with cap jewel, but on the base plate, it only has got a metal bushing with a steel cover. It is easy to understand, that you cannot expect good timing results with such a construction.
The inner side of the gear train bridge shows, that the MST 323 promises more, that it can hold: Visually, the gear train bridge should look, like there are two bridges, one for the mainspring barrel and one of the gear train. That is by no means the case, there’s only a small slot as an illusion.
As you can see, the MST 323 uses a rocking bar keyless works with ratchet on the dial side. The ratchet uses a well executed pawl.
At 8 o’clock, there’s the metal cap plate for the dial side balance wheel bearing. It causes, that metal runs on metal, resulting in high wear and bad precision.

The North Judson-San Pierre School Board will meet tonight for the first time since a local businessman asked members to voluntarily step down. Matt Bailey made that request at the May board meeting, saying it’s the easiest way to establish an elected board. He adds he’s prepared to bring the matter to a referendum should it be necessary. Most school boards in Indiana are elected.
Bailey’s request is not addressed specifically on the advance agenda. It is more focused on preparing for the start of the 2016-17 school year. Action items include setting textbook fees and salaries for transportation, non-certified, non-instructional salaries and administrative employees.
The school board will also discuss the non-certified handbook for 2016-17, adopt accounting policies recommended by the state and approve projects with Indianapolis-based Performance Services to address energy savings.
Tonight’s North Judson-San Pierre School Board meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the central office.

On first appearance seemed very organised to allow social distancing etc, however although the empty tables had "this table has been sanitised" markers on them they were not even wiped between customers. Shame really as food / drinks / counter service etc were all excellent...but during these worrying times a table marker that states its been cleaned really should have been!!!More
I really like Cocoba, a local sourced restaurant. The variety of food is great and as I have to have dairy free I highly recommend the coconut milk hot chocolate. My son had the salted Caramel hot chocolate that he said was amazing. Warm Blueberry...muffins to die for!More
Nice touch to hat a piece of chocolate, however it would be better if it was not presented in a plastic tray. Could do with more desserts like the pretzels dipped in chocolate. Lighter dessert type treats
Coffees/mochas cakes etc always made properly, does not matter who makes them, always tastes the same.
Lovely carrot cakes, lovely toasties £3.25 good price? BEST mochas you can get anywhere.
They also sell lots of chocs to take away, really nice selection.

A man and a boy of 16 were found guilty today of murdering a father of five who was beaten to death just yards from his front door.
Michael Eccles, 43, died on 26 January, a day after sustaining serious injuries in a brutal street attack near his home in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
A jury at Birmingham Crown Court took four hours to find guilty Carl Keatley, 20, of Greencroft, Lichfield, and a 16-year-old boy, who is also from Lichfield.
The boy can now be identified as Jordan Carroll after a court order was lifted.
His father, 55-year-old Edward Carroll, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
He tried to help his son "cover up" the crime by putting his blood-stained clothes in the washing machine and cleaning blood from his head.
Judge Robert Juckes QC said the case had been "difficult and troubling".
He adjourned sentencing until Friday September 11. All three were remanded in custody.
Family members in the public gallery shouted "love you, Jord, love you, Carl" as they were convicted. Keatley waved back at them.
During the two-week trial, jurors heard that Mr Eccles was walking home from a local Costcutter store, having purchased a bottle of wine and some milk, when he was set upon by Keatley and Carroll, who was 15 at the time.
It was a Sunday evening and the pair had spent the day drinking vodka in a local park. Both were drunk when they chased their victim and knocked him to the ground.
The assault followed a "verbal exchange" as Mr Eccles left the store with his purchases and asked them to move on.
Gareth Evans QC, prosecuting, told the court that Mr Eccles, a factory worker and ardent Liverpool FC fan, was "punched and kicked and stamped upon" by the drunken pair.
He was left lying in the street with a burst eye socket, 10 broken ribs, a number of broken bones in his neck and massive facial injuries.
His head was "literally kicked in" after blows rained down on the front, back and both sides of his skull, Mr Evans said.
The prosecutor said a passing motorist saw Keatley and Carroll "pushing, barging, and intimidating" Mr Eccles.
Having finished their attack, the pair made their way back to the row of shops where they had previously loitered, Keatley on his bicycle and the teenager on foot.
But, said Mr Evans, as the male driver looked in his rear view mirror he saw the younger defendant run back and "deliver a football-like kick to the head of Mr Eccles".
When paramedics arrived at the scene, in the Dimbles area of the cathedral city, Mr Eccles had no pulse.
He was resuscitated but later suffered a heart attack and loss of blood to his brain caused irreversible brain damage.
He was pronounced dead in hospital the next day, leaving behind a partner of 23 years and five children.
Speaking after the verdicts were returned, Chief Superintendent Mick Harrison, commander of Staffordshire Police's Trent Valley division, said: "Mr Eccles suffered sickening injuries in a pointless, savage attack.
"His death was an utter tragedy. He was a much-loved and devoted family man, who was obviously highly regarded by his friends and colleagues. Our sympathies remain with everyone close to him."
The officer added: "The witness and forensic evidence presented to the jury was gathered during a painstaking inquiry by our major investigations department.
"We are grateful to everyone who helped the investigation, and to the local community for their patience and understanding as we pieced together the circumstances surrounding Mr Eccles' death. The efforts of those who tried to help Mr Eccles at the scene must also be remembered."
Mr Harrison went on to compare the character of the victim, a much-loved family man, with that of those who killed him and also tried to cover up the murder.
"At the time, Mr Eccles was described by his family as kind, giving and loving - the starkest of contrasts to those who killed him and tried to cover it up," the officer said.
"We hope that the verdicts will go some way to helping his family and friends cope with their huge loss. We also hope that the local community will take reassurance from knowing that those responsible for his death now face a long time behind bars.
"This terrible incident came as a huge shock to people who live in the area, the vast majority of whom are hard-working and committed to their community."
Both Keatley and the teenager denied murder. Keatley claimed he could not have kicked or stamped on Mr Eccles because he has a prosthetic leg.
He told jurors the false limb, fitted above the knee of his right leg in January 2007, prevented him from being able to exert any force with his feet.
He said: "I am not able to use my feet in a violent way.
"I never did any stamping. I am not able to cause serious injuries because of my leg.
"There isn't enough force in that leg to cause the damage that was caused to Mr Eccles."
He said the artificial limb also affected his ability to balance and meant that he could not run.
When confronted with evidence that footprints matching the soles of his trainers were found on the back and front of the Liverpool FC shirt Mr Eccles had been wearing when he was attacked, Keatley said he had "tripped over" as his co-accused attacked Mr Eccles.
He said: "It could have been an accidental touching of my feet when I fell over."
The teenage defendant told the court he could remember nothing of the attack because he was so drunk.
He told the jury he accepted that he had punched and kicked Mr Eccles but was not guilty of murder because he was too drunk to form the requisite intent.
He said: "I accept that I played a part in the attack, from the evidence. I can't recall it.
"I wasn't in the right state of mind to know what I was doing."
Asked if he had intended to cause Mr Eccles serious harm, he said: "I wasn't in the right state of mind for that sort of intent."
The teenager told the court he could remember being in a park with friends before the attack and later being at his home when police arrived to arrest him, but could recall nothing of the intervening period.
Mr Evans dismissed the defence as "nonsense", adding: "He concentrated his kicks and stamps on vulnerable areas of Mr Eccles's body. It wasn't by accident that his head was literally kicked in."
The court heard that forensic experts found imprints on Mr Eccles's chin and chest matched the soles of the teenager's trainers.
Ian Pinkney, Crown Advocate at Staffordshire Crown Prosecution Service, echoed Mr Harrison's comments, describing the murder as "savage beyond comprehension".
In a statement, Mr Pinkney said: "This was a brutal and senseless crime.
"Mr Eccles was just doing some shopping when he had the fatal misfortune to encounter these offenders. The attack that resulted was savage beyond comprehension and resulted in Mr Eccles' untimely and needless death.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with Mr Eccles' family and friends at this traumatic time and, whilst we acknowledge that no sentence can repair the damage that this appalling crime has caused, we hope that in some small way this verdict helps them to move forward."
In a statement delivered on the court steps following the verdicts, Mr Eccles' brother-in-law John Bayliss said: "As a family, we are very pleased with today's outcome.
"We hope that the sentences that are to be passed will be harsh enough to reflect what a vicious and sustained attack it was on an innocent man.
"I believe in an eye for an eye. In the absence of that, life should mean life - not 15 years or less.
"The sentence must be a deterrent to the feral youths who terrorise our society, apparently above the law.
"We will never forgive this evil pair. They showed no mercy to a defenceless man as he lay dying on the floor.
"Ecky was a great man - a loving father, son, and partner. He had a heart of gold and lived life with a smile and enthusiasm that is seldom seen.
"Through their vicious attack, they may only have stopped one heart, but they have broken many more and left lots of lives shattered.

Senate Democrats put a central piece of their drug pricing agenda into the hands of their Republican colleagues, only to learn they’re not rushing to hand over a win.
That trust may delay a price cap on insulin, which can cost nearly $100 per vial in the US, more than five times the average cost in Canada.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he plans to hold a vote soon on a measure from a bipartisan duo to cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 a month. But passing the legislation from Sens.
“I agree we’ve got to deal with insulin, but I don’t think they’ve got the right mechanism to do it just yet,” said Sen.
More than 37 million Americans—about 1 in 10—have diabetes, and many of them manage the condition with insulin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lawmakers for years have raised red flags about insulin companies hiking up the price of their products despite making few substantial changes.
But Democrats decided to drop insulin-related provisions from a sweeping partisan spending bill that included key elements of President Joe Biden’s agenda, and is under negotiation between Schumer and Sen.
Republicans say they want to act on insulin costs, but aren’t yet sold on this particular bill.
Now, some diabetes advocates say the move to strip the insulin provisions could mean those who rely on the medicine are left out of Democrats’ broader pescription drug pricing reforms.
Crapo said five Republicans—
“The question I have is: would this accomplish what they want, because it’s voluntary?” Grassley asked.
CBO on Thursday found the bill would raise the budget deficit by $23.3 billion over 10 years.
Without GOP support, Democrats face the potential of having control of both chambers of Congress and the White House and not delivering on their campaign promise of meaningful drug price reforms.
The bill sponsors say they’re working on building support for the legislation and that costs will be offset. No timetable has been set for a vote, although Shaheen said Wednesday the plan remains to pass it in July.

Senate Democrats say caps on copays and other insulin reforms already exist in more than a dozen states, signaling the program works.
“I don’t see why we can’t get this done,” said Sen.
Crapo said he worries Democrats are simply “rushing” the legislation to the floor to blame Republicans for its failure.

Advocates Push Back
Collins and Shaheen introduced their bill with the backing of more than a dozen diabetes patient groups.
Some working on the issue were puzzled when Democrats this month removed language from the broader spending bill that included the $35-per-month cap on copays, and that would have made insulin prices subject to government negotiations. The proposal now, some insulin products would still see their prices dropped if they’re among the costliest to Medicare.
Steve Knievel of Public Citizen, a liberal consumer advocacy organization that’s been supportive of Democrats’ drug pricing agenda, said the insulin provisions were seen as key to lowering the drug’s prices.

“We never thought that would be on the chopping block,” said Shaina Kasper, a policy manager for T1International, a nonprofit led by people with Type 1 diabetes that seeks to expand access to insulin.
Kasper added her group is “gearing up to throw down” with Democrats over this move, and demand they return the policies to the larger package.
