The arrest of 22-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling it an attack on free speech.
She was arrested on Saturday over a shared document to help farmers protest against new agricultural laws.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal described her arrest as an "unprecedented attack on democracy".
Several activists and journalists have also been arrested in recent weeks in connection with the protests.
Now in their third month, the protests have come to represent one of the biggest challenges faced by prime minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
Police said Ms Ravi was a "key conspirator" in the "formulation and dissemination" of the document - a protest "toolkit".
They said Ms Ravi, one of the founders of the Indian branch of the Fridays for Future climate strike, was an editor of the document and had shared it with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
"I did not make the toolkit. We wanted to support the farmers. I edited two lines on 3 February," Ms Ravi told the court, according to the NDTV news site.
Mr Kejriwal has joined several prominent voices online, including activists, journalists and opposition politicians (such as former finance minister P Chidambaram), all of whom appear both shocked and furious over the arrest.
Arrest of 21 yr old Disha Ravi is an unprecedented attack on Democracy. Supporting our farmers is not a crime.— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) February 15, 2021
The Indian state must be standing on very shaky foundations if Disha Ravi, a 22 year old student of Mount Carmel college and a climate activist, has become a threat to the nation— P. Chidambaram (@PChidambaram_IN) February 14, 2021
Ok now we're arresting 21-year old climate activists. Well done India, you big superpower you— Mihir Sharma (@mihirssharma) February 14, 2021
Ms Ravi, who lives in the southern city of Bangalore, was flown to the capital Delhi where she appeared before a magistrate on Sunday. She was sent to judicial custody for five days.
Questions have been raised over the fact that Ms Ravi did not have a lawyer during her hearing - a fact which criminal lawyer Rebecca John, who has been tracking the case, described as "a shocking abdication of judicial duties" in a Facebook post.
"If the accused was not being represented by counsel at the time of the hearing, the magistrate should have waited till her counsel arrived or in the alternate, provided her with legal aid," Ms John wrote.
It's unclear still what Ms Ravi is being charged with, but many fear she is being held under a colonial-era sedition law that has been used in recent arrests against journalists.
People charged under the draconian law have to surrender their passports, are not eligible for government jobs and must produce themselves in the court as and when required.
The Delhi police, who arrested Ms Ravi, invoked the same law earlier this month when they said they were investigating the toolkit. They said it suggested a conspiracy in the run up to a huge rally on 26 January, which saw protesting farmers clash with police.
The toolkit was hugely publicised about two weeks ago when Ms Thunberg tweeted it, voicing her support for protesting farmers.
The farmers are seeking the repeal of new agriculture reform laws that will further open up India's farming sector to corporate buyers and investment.
The government, which has offered to suspend the laws, says they will improve farming incomes. But farmers, who want nothing short of a complete withdrawal, say the opposite will happen. They fear the laws will threaten decades-old concessions guaranteed by the government and leave them vulnerable to the private market.
Ms Ravi's arrest is being seen by many as an intimidation tactic by the federal government, which oversees the Delhi police.

If arresting a 21 year old environmental activist for sharing a social media tool kit is not a sign that we have descended into police state territory, I don't know what is ?— T M Krishna (@tmkrishna) February 14, 2021
And the intention is also to threaten young people of this country#DishaRavi
"This is a new low, even for India," environmentalist Nityanand Jayaraman told the BBC. "These are the kinds of young people we should be celebrating, and not jailing."
He described her as "conscientious, outspoken youngster who has constantly defended and fought for India's rights on the global stage" on the issue of climate change.
He said this runs contrary to PM Modi's efforts to enlist youth in cleaning up cities as part of his flagship Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Campaign
My Jayaraman added that it sent a clear message to young people that "they should restrict themselves to picking up garbage on the streets or planting trees, and not come into the arena of policy-making".
Farmers' group Samyukta Kisan Morcha, one of the main groups behind the protests, expressed their support for Ms Ravi and demanded her release.
Support has poured in from everywhere, including Indian film actor Siddharth, Canadian poet Rupi Kaur and US Vice President Kamala Harris's niece Meena Harris.
we demand india #freedisharavi. we demand they #freenodeepkaur and all the other women in jail w her. we demand they #freeshivkumar & the hundreds of innocent farmers they’ve illegally arrested for practicing their democratic right to protest.— rupi kaur (@rupikaur_) February 14, 2021
enough is enough.
Indian officials have arrested another young female activist, 21 yo Disha Ravi, because she posted a social media toolkit on how to support the farmers' protest.

On the West Coast, First Peoples created wealth from salmon fishing. Surpluses from the fishery supported large permanent villages led by powerful chiefs and their families.
Productive and stable salmon runs made year-round settlements possible as early as 7,000 years ago. Beginning 4,000 years ago, First Peoples began to build large permanent communal houses. Over time, individuals came to own the right to fish in the richest locales. Powerful chiefs controlled villages and the surpluses which enhanced their power. They redistributed their wealth to display their prestige and sustain their communities.
Just as it is today, social rank was very important in West Coast villages. Chiefs and matriarchs held the highest rank. They administered the economic and political affairs of their clans and performed the rituals that ensured their well-being. Potlatches, or feasts, were held to mark significant events and to display the wealth and prestige of the family by giving gifts to others. These gifts consisted of stored food and many other valuable items.
Signs of Status
Elite women wore labrets — ornaments inserted into pierced holes on the lip. Copper, made into jewellery and other objects, was also a status symbol.
Hairstyles could be used to convey status. Oral history indicates that elites, commoners and slaves often wore different styles.
Status in Stone?
The purpose of these carved objects is not fully understood. They were likely used by elites during public ceremonies.
Warfare and Slavery
Pacific Coast warriors fought with clubs, spears and bows, and sometimes wore armour. Rivalries and vendettas between powerful families could lead to warfare. The capture of slaves was an important motivation in warfare. Slaves held the lowest social rank in coastal societies. Valuable status symbols, they could be traded, freed or killed by their owners.

Obstacles to achieving durable HIV remission in lower- and middle-income countries affects these nations’ ability to carry out needed research.
Although powerful antiretroviral drugs have had a profound effect on HIV-positive individuals’ overall health and longevity, there remain obstacles to research on remission and eradication, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). In order for this research to be conducted, a significant population that has been able to achieve durable viral suppression needs to exist. As a result, most of this research has been carried out in higher-income nations where greater numbers of people with HIV receive treatment.
A new article in the Journal of the International AIDS Society, penned by infectious-disease specialists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and other institutions around the world, reveals the results of their recent review on remission and eradication research. The team searched several databases to find literature that discussed differences between LMIC and wealthier countries that might explain variations in the size of each country’s latent HIV reservoir, or the total number of immune cells infected with HIV that are currently dormant but can replicate and that have the potential to become activated. This latent HIV reservoir is considered to be the biggest barrier to remission and, ultimately, a cure for the disease.
Worldwide, at least 36 million people live with HIV; most of those are in LMIC. Across nations, however, the profiles of typical HIV patients can look very different—and this may translate into differences in treatment regimens and how patients respond to them. In wealthier countries such as the United States, the HIV epidemic is fueled by men who have sex with men. In developing nations, women and children are disproportionately infected. In fact, women account for more than half of all people with HIV worldwide, with 1.8 million children also infected.
Besides age and gender, the viral subtype of HIV may make a difference in whether infected people can achieve sustained remission, as may chronic co-infections (bacterial, viral, and parasitic), sexually transmitted diseases, and nutrition. Individuals who have existing co-infections are likely to have higher levels of immune-system activation and inflammation, which may hinder the ability of antiretroviral drugs to work their magic. And in many communities in LMIC, the virus is continually replicating and the viral load is high because a substantial portion of people who have HIV are unaware of this fact and never go for treatment, or go for testing and treatment at a late stage in the disease.
This last point is worth emphasizing. “Getting on [antiretroviral] therapy and staying on therapy is the single best thing any person living with HIV can do to protect their health,” Carl Dieffenbach, PhD, the director of the Division of AIDS at NIAID, told Contagion®. “We have these wonderful drugs. They are truly life changing. But drugs don’t take themselves.”
Although higher-income countries such as ours do have a substantial portion of HIV-infected people already in treatment, Dr. Dieffenbach would like to see those numbers rise. Even in the United States, there exist pockets in which HIV runs rampant, such as in communities of color and particularly among gay and bisexual black men. Dr. Dieffenbach attributes this largely to the stigma many men in these marginalized groups feel, which results in them not getting tested and, if positive, not remaining on antiretroviral drugs. In fact, emerging literature reveals that in Uganda, the latent HIV reservoir is about one-third the size of the one in Baltimore—evidence that barriers to research on remission and eradication exist in more places than just LMIC. “I think they’re global barriers,” he said, referring to the potential obstacles any community anywhere in the world may face when it comes to conquering HIV.

EASTENDERS fans went into meltdown last night after Dot Cotton ditched her trademark look and returned to the square wearing trousers.
The character finally returned in tonight's episode after a three-month absence, and while many fans were delighted to see her, others were distracted by her outfit.
Many were shocked to see the Walford legend wearing chic trousers rather than her usual skirt.
She paired the blue and white trousers with a green double breasted jacket and carried an duck egg coloured handbag on the crook of her arm.
Viewers took to Twitter to express their shock at her ensemble while others pointed out that Dot underwent a makeover a few years ago and wears trousers while driving.
One fan wrote: "Don't think I've ever seen Dot wearing trousers before".
Another said: "What’s happening? Dot is back and wearing trousers!!! What even is life anymore?!"
A third said: "I'm fifteen minutes late starting #EastEnders tonight but I've just seen Dot wearing trousers. Has this EVER happened before?"
Meanwhile, Dot was unimpressed by the state of her living room after it was left messy by Sonia and Robbie.
Viewers were also confused when Dot turned right into her living room and a number of eagle-eyed viewers noticed the door was in the wrong place.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Dot's living room looks back to front in #EastEnders" while another added: "I don't like Dot's living room now! Also, where's the mac gone?"
Indeed, when Dot left back in October last year, her living room door was on the opposite wall, with the character having to turn left into it as she came through the front door to the house.
The furniture appeared to be the same, but facing in different directions to how it was before, although the wallpaper looked different.
This led some to wonder if the scene had taken place in a back room, but the hallway mirror can clearly be seen through the door in both old and new shots in exactly the same place making it highly likely it's the same room but in reverse.
Another viewer wrote: "Is Dot's front room door in the wrong place???" while a fellow confused fan added: "am I the only one who's noticed Dot's living room door and sofa has magically shifted around to the opposite side of the room?"
MOST READ IN TV & SHOWBIZ
Meanwhile, other viewers rejoiced at Dot's - and actress June Brown's - return to Albert Square.
Dot left Walford in October last year for a well-deserved break by the seaside in Wales.
However, she won't be getting her old job at the launderette back as it's going to be given to her noisy neighbour instead.

At the end of the evening on Tuesday, UEFA appointed new referees for the resumption of the meeting between PSG and Basaksehir Istanbul, arrested before the quarter of an hour of play on Tuesday evening after accusations of racism against the fourth referee, the Romanian Sebastian Coltescu. The Romanian quartet responsible for this Champions League match has been sidelined by the European body and will be replaced by a Dutch duo, accompanied by two Poles.
It is therefore Danny Makkelie, 37-year-old central referee, who will be responsible for giving the kick-off, scheduled for 6:55 pm this Wednesday in the 13th minute of play. Originally from the Netherlands, he had already officiated on November 24 last at the Parc des Princes during the Parisian victory against RB Leipzig (1-0). Mario Diks, assistant referee, will be by his side again. Finally, the third assistant referee and the fourth referee are Poles Marcin Boniek and Bartosz Frankowski.
However, UEFA does not change the duo in charge of the video referee. Italians Marco Di Bello (main referee) and Maurizio Mariani (his assistant) remain in office. The latter had been mentioned in the evening of Tuesday as a potential replacement for the fourth referee, accused of racism by Cameroonian Pierre Achille Webo, assistant coach of the Istanbul club.

Prince Removes His Music From All Streaming Services Except Tidal
(AllHipHop News) According to Buzzfeed, iconic musician Prince has pulled his catalog from Apple Music, Spotify, and every other music streaming service – except Tidal.
It is not surprising Prince selected the artist-owned Tidal to host his discography. The Minneapolis native has been very vocal throughout his career about music corporations’ unfair treatment of artists. He famously wrote the word “slave” on his face in protest to Warner Bros Records.
There has not been an announcement about Prince becoming an official partner with Tidal like Jay Z, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, and many others. The “Purple Rain” performer did stream his Freddie Gray tribute concert from Baltimore exclusively on Tidal.


It seems like light years ago since Nasir Jones dropped Illmatic, an album that many consider to be one of the most thought invoking and culturally influential rap albums to ever be released. Just months after releasing his “Life Is Good” album in July of 2012, Nas has announced that he is back in the studio working on his 12th album. According the “Associated Press” Nas has confirmed that after a successful release of his eleventh album “Life Is Good”, which has been nominated for best Rap Album for the 2013 Grammy Awards, he is back in the studio to start working on the next album.
Nas says that he is in the right zone to begin his next project, basically, he is in a zone and he wants to flow off of the momentum that the 2012 album release created. The album was classic Nas sharing the personal side of his life as he engages life after his divorce from ex-wife, singer Kelis. The song “Daughters”, released as a single is also nominated in the best song category of the Grammy’s as well.
In an interview with the “AP”, Nas talked about his last album being therapeutic and cathartic as he dealt with the transitional issues that were taking place in his life. He talked about the possible tension between he and his daughter because of the release of the song “Daughters”. He says that he believes that his daughter gave him a pass on the song, but she is definitely not a fan of it.
Nas has not given any true indication of what this next album will bring to his fans, but they can rest assured that it will be something worth picking up.


Apple wrapped up its big product announcements for 2014 this week with the arrival of new iPads, iMacs and OS X Yosemite software. CEO Tim Cook made it pretty clear on stage that the company is done with its major news for the year, and industry insiders tell Mashable the same thing.
So if all is said and done for 2014, where in the world is HomeKit and why didn't see an Apple TV software update, which is rumored to include HomeKit compatibility and be the hub of the smart home platform) at the presentation?
See also: 14 Hidden Tricks and Tools in iOS 8
There's one simple answer: HomeKit is just not ready. Sources confirm that device manufacturers are still in the early stages of becoming HomeKit certified by Apple, and we probably won't see the first batch of products for Apple's home automation platform until next year.
Apple first announced its HomeKit platform in June. HomeKit will eventually allow users to control locks, lights, cameras, doors, thermostats, plugs and switches at home. Although developers and manufacturers are building products for it now, it takes time to do so — much more so than integrating apps for Apple's work-in-progress HealthKit platform.
Even still, we don't know too much about the timeline of when the first HomeKit gadgets will launch, but sources believe the first batch could pop up as early as at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas in January.
Perhaps this is the reason why we didn't see new Apple TV hardware or a software update from this week's event either.The latest beta software for Apple TV is said to include HomeKit integration, so it's possible Apple is holding off on both for now and will launch both together.
Another theory is that HomeKit could launch around the time Apple Watch makes its official debut. Apple emphasized again on Thursday that the Apple Watch would be debuting in 2015, but details are still fuzzy on when. We're assuming, of course, that there will be a dedicated Apple Watch event — we could see either a small or large-scale presentation for press to get their hands on the device when it's ready to go.


Dramatic pictures show burnt out caravans after several were destroyed in a late night blaze
Seven caravans were on fire out of 13 on the site in Rempstone Road, Sutton Bonington.
Firefighters were called to the scene at 11.17pm on Thursday, March 5.
There were no reports of any injuries after the fire was put out.
A police and fire investigation has now been launched.
A Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We received a call at 11.17pm to Rempstone Road, following reports of multiple caravans on fire.
"Crews from East Leake, Loughborough and Castle Donington attended along with Loughborough’s water carrier. Three hose reel jets and two main jets were used.
"A joint police and fire investigation is now being carried out."
A post on East Leake fire station's Facebook page added: "Seven static caravans involved in fire. A further six were not involved. Three breathing apparatus crews with hoses were dispatched into the scene.
"All fire have been extinguished with no casualties involved. Thank you to the assistance from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue, Loughborough’s appliance and water bowser and Castle Donington.

Moments later, a bullet broke the front window, tore through the bedroom wall and lodged in her head, killing the eleven-year-old. Rita’s mother vowed to fight for sensible gun laws, a promise that put her on the bus to the Million Mom March. For the remainder of the year, Rita’s family, teachers and classmates opened their lives and hearts to us, in hopes that others will see and hear how the horrific details of gun violence impact families, friends and society. Rita’s short, beautiful life and the sense of loss and grief shared by those who knew and miss her inspires audiences of all ages to change this picture. In a time when many of us are numbed to accounts of “another shooting,” the intimate, honest and emotional testimony compels viewers to acknowledge our collective grief, as citizens of a country where 10 children die from gun violence every day.

The National Association Of Resident Doctors (NARD) have alleged that the Minister of Health, Osagie Enahire is clueless about the one-month-old strike of Resident doctors in the country.
Chairman, Communication And Communique, NARD, Julian Ojebo said this in an interview with Morning Crossfire host, Sheriff Quadry on Monday.
According to Ojebo, the Minister has done little or nothing to help the situation of doctors despite being appointed to head a ministry that supervises the health sector in the country.
While also calling for his sack, he went ahead to make further allegations against Dr Enahire. You can watch here>>>>


"Some of them sustained life threatening injuries and others minor injuries. They have all been rushed to the hospital to receive medical attention," Xinhua quoted the police as saying.
Xinhua furthers that the soldiers, all members of Cameroon elite force, Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR), were on a mission to Mamfe, another town in the region where separatists are known to be operating when the accident happened, though it may be that the vehicle was heading towards Muyuka instead.
They added that separatists claimed to have caused the accident with an improvised explosive, but the army denied, saying it was caused by "bad road".
The separatists claimed that the soldiers after the accident used commuters as human shield to prevent any attack from armed men who seek a supposed state they call Ambazonia.
A journalist who happened to have been travelling at the time of the unfortunate accident rubbished the separatist claims. He said the accident actually happened somewhere around Malende in Muyuka.
His words: “…It should be noted that, that area is bastion of the restoration forces. I can vividly remember that few weeks back, I was brutally stripped off my laptop, money and other valuables by the separatists at that same spot. The military took two civilian cars to ferry the injured to hospital. No civilian was used as a shield. Rather, both worked together to help the injured into cars for the hospital. Traffic was halted for almost an hour.”
Armed separatists have been clashing with government forces in the two Anglophone regions of North West and South West since 2017 in a bid to create an independent nation they call "Ambazonia".
Cameroon’s security and defense forces have been battling the separatist fighters in a bid to restore law and order in the troubled North West and South West Regions where many have been killed, others forced to flee their homes and most children kept away from school for three years already.
The country’s Prime Minister, Head of Government, Dion Ngute Joseph said weeks back during a visit to the restive regions that the Head of State President Paul Biya is willing to dialogue with the aggrieved population on all subjects except secession. The dialogue is much awaited.


But some years, she said, her teenagers have rushed from prayer service back to classes.
Her daughter, Hannah, says she worries about missing math and her AP government class. This year, she is on the high school tennis team and will miss a match scheduled on the Muslim holiday.
She also will return to school the next morning to face the PSAT exam, a national standardized test given in advance of the SAT college entrance exam.
“This is an important exam,” says her mother. Muslim students will be celebrating their holiday and “thinking in the back of their head, ‘I need to get my sleep.’ ”
Muslim leaders take issue with the county’s focus on absenteeism as the standard for an official day off. They say they have never been told how much absenteeism would be enough to qualify, and that Christian and Jewish holidays have not been put to the same test.
“We think it’s not right when there are different standards for different people,” Ali said.
Fairness questions resonate with many non-Muslims.
Kari Parsons, pastor of Christ the Servant Lutheran Church in Montgomery Village, said her church’s governing council was asked to take a position — and a majority voted to support the Muslim holiday effort. There are school holidays for other religions, and the Muslim community is large, she said. “It seemed fair,” she said.
Like Montgomery, other school systems in the Washington region — Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince George’s, Prince William and Arlington counties and the D.C. Public Schools — do not give students Muslim holidays off. But officials say students who miss school to observe religious holidays are excused.
Organizers point out that some school systems — in New Jersey, Vermont and Michigan, for example — give students at least one Muslim holiday off.
In Damascus, Hwaida Hassanein, 41, a mother of four, said she faced the same issue when she grew up in Montgomery and now confronts it again with her children. She intends to keep her two youngest, who attend Montgomery schools, home for Eid al-Adha. “They don’t get any other chance for this,” she said. “To me, it’s the religion and the tradition. This is what my grandmother did.”
As she talked, her mother, Mimi Hassanein, a longtime activist, said she hoped for change in time for the next generation. “I don’t want my grandchildren to have this issue when they have their children,” she said.

Japan and Germany in the Modern World, Issue 2006
First study of the fascinating parallelism that characterizes developments in Japan and Germany by one of Germany's leading Japan specialists.
With the founding of their respective national states, the Meiji Empire in 1869 and the German Reich in 1871, Japan and Germany entered world politics. Since then both countries have developed in strikingly similar ways, and it is not surprising that these two became close allies during the Second World War, although in the end this proved a "fatal attraction."

Thursday’s first practice of the season marked the first time Kansas University offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Chuck Long had the opportunity to work with freshmen QBs Brock Berglund and Michael Cummings.
As much as he enjoyed the chance to see the two three-star prospects up close, Long said one day was not nearly enough time to make a true evaluation on either player.
The most telling moments will come in the next few practices.
“We’ll see how much they can comprehend, see how much they know, see how much they can consume and retain,” Long said. “Those are the big things with young quarterbacks. If they make a good throw, can they make the same throw or do they forget about it and misread it?”
Thursday, teammates and coaches said both players did enough to show why they were ranked so high coming out of high school.
At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Berglund is the bigger of the two, but Cummings, at 6-foot, 196, also possesses decent size.
The biggest thing both players bring to the roster is the ability to make plays with their arm and their legs.
A couple of Jayhawks said Berglund and Cummings showed that Thursday, but most of the day was spent throwing the ball and demonstrating how much of the playbook they had learned.
With things only getting more intense in the coming weeks, Long cautioned about making a read too soon.
“This (was) Day One and Base One defensively, too,” Long said. “They see very simple things for a while.”
Because of the team’s overall experience and renewed focus, the simple stuff might not stick around as long as it did a season ago. Long said that would be by design.
“We ran a lot of football plays today,” he said Thursday. “We taxed ’em really good. Our pace was good, much faster than the first day last year, and that’s gonna help us. Hey, it’s gonna be a tough camp. It really is. We’re giving them a lot. They gotta fight through it. There’s gonna be that mental strain. It’s coming.”
So, too, is a heavy dose of the offense.
“We’re gonna have a lot of our offense installed early,” Long said. “It’s the flood theory. Flood ’em early, and then repeat, repeat, repeat and see how much they can pick up.”
TE Putoff out 6-8 weeks
Gill announced Friday that tight end Justin Putoff, a sophomore from Goddard, would miss up to two months because of an injured clavicle.
Gill also announced the addition of Scott Baron, a freshman tight end from Orange Lutheran High in Santa Ana, Calif.
The addition of Baron, 6-foot-2, 238 pounds, gives KU depth behind returning tight ends Tim Biere, Ted McNulty, Jimmay Mundine and Trent Smiley.
Young receivers impress
It might have been just one day, but freshmen wide receivers JaCorey Shepherd and Marquis Jackson demonstrated right away they were here to play.
“They looked good today,” Long said. “Both are very smooth. JaCorey runs smooth routes, and you can tell he’s been coached well, and Marquis, he’ll give you that explosion. Both are very eager guys who want to learn. If you’re an older receiver on the team, you better pick it up. We recruited very well, and we’ve got some talent. They’re gonna keep plugging along, and these other guys need to make sure they’re competing as well.”
It wasn’t just the coaches who were impressed by Shepherd and Jackson. Red-shirt freshman running back Brandon Bourbon cited Shepherd as one of the guys who stood out to him.
“I saw a little move he put on somebody, and I was just, like, ‘Wow,’” Bourbon said.
That notion is in line with what many around the program have said all summer as Shepherd already has established a reputation as a guy who’s tough to cover one-on-one.
More talk of the 3-4
There has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks that the Jayhawks might play more of a 3-4 defense that employs three linemen and four linebackers instead of four linemen and three linebackers they did a season ago.
In Dallas, Steven Johnson said new defensive coordinator Vic Shealy told the team in mid-July that it would run a 3-4 base. Thursday, junior defensive tackle John Williams echoed Johnson’s thoughts.
“It’s definitely 100 percent,” he said. “We’ve switched up everything, so it’s a whole new ballgame for us. We’re getting it down quickly, and it’s not too bad. They’ve just adjusted some stuff.”
KU coach Turner Gill has said the 3-4 would be in the Jayhawks’ repertoire this season, but has not said definitively that it would be the team’s base look.
Last year, the Jayhawks operated out of a 4-3 base defense.
The year before that, former KU coach Mark Mangino elected to go with a 4-2-5, which put one more defensive back on the field in an effort to slow down the Big 12’s spread offenses.
If the Jayhawks do play a lot of 3-4, it’s likely because of the talent and depth they’ve developed at linebacker.
“I’m excited about that group of guys,” Gill said of his linebackers. “We definitely have a group to choose from, whereas last year, we didn’t really have a whole lot to choose from.”

Square set to add 250 jobs
Square Inc., the mobile payments startup co-founded by Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey, is hiring like mad as it seeks to double its staff size from 250 to 500, and it is reportedly trying to raise another $250 million at a $4 billion valuation.
Founded in 2009 and launched publicly in early 2010, San Francisco-based Square is already processing payments at the rate of $5 billion a year.
The company has continued to stretch the scope of its ambitions, expanding services from its initial offering of a mobile phone credit card reader, or dongle, that plugs into audio jacks.
“Anytime the customer and a merchant interact, that is a medium that can be facilitated by Square,” said Matthew O’Connor, Square’s youthful director of engineering.
Square now has a mobile phone payment application that consumers can use to view merchant menus, do mobile payments and receive virtual receipts. It also has a point of sale system for tablet computers that business owners can use to replace traditional credit card terminals and cash registers and which provides inventory tracking and customer relationship management tools and analytics.
In addition, Square has a pilot program ongoing in New York City taxi cabs that lets riders process credit cards on computer tablets embedded in cab walls.
The company charges a minimum of 2.75 percent on transactions, putting it on an annual revenue run rate of $137.5 million-plus, but most of that presumably goes to credit card companies. The company does not share revenue numbers.
It is seeking new funds just 10 months after raising $100 million at a reported $1 billion valuation, according to All Things Digital. The company previously raised $168 million.

Can you name this car?
The vehicle in the picture is the Corvair. This car was manufactured by Chevrolet General Motors. The model was produced between 1960 and 1969.
The Chevy Corvair is a compact automobile by Chevrolet, which was produced to compete with imported cars such as the Volkswagen and American cars such as Ford Falcon, Plymouth Valiant, Studebaker Lark and the Rambler American. In those times, it was the only mass produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine in the USA. The Corvair included a two door coupe, convertible, four door sedan and four door station wagon.
Nowadays the Corvair is very popular among collectors due to its affordability. The car is considered underpriced today, though it remains quite popular. Buying a Corvair is a good and easy way to start collecting cars, moreover, the national Corvair club is very active, which provides all the Corvair lovers with necessary spare car parts.

BAYOU City Community Court
Launched in 2022, BAYOU — Bringing Assistance to You with Outreach and Understanding — City Community Court serves as the community outreach arm of the Harris County Criminal Courts at Law. The initiative builds upon the criminal misdemeanor judges’ restorative approach to criminal justice, which aims to identify and address root causes of crime, stop the cycle of recidivism, and make the community safer in the process. The work of the community court focuses on rehabilitative justice, as well as community education, outreach, and service.
Offered under the community court, Fresh Start helps eligible community members change their trajectory after experiences with the criminal justice system by sealing their eligible criminal records and connecting them various community resources at quarterly Fresh Start events.
Once the charges are sealed, they no longer have to be disclosed publically — on job or housing applications, for example — but can still be viewed by criminal justice agencies.
Ultimately, the second-chance program aims to help people meet their basic needs, reduce recidivism, and make communities safer. It is offered in partnership with the Harris County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Harris County Public Defender’s Office, Harris County Criminal Courts at Law, and Harris County District Courts.

These past months have seen changes in the temper and tolerance of our nation that words can hardly describe. Laws once thought to be unassailable have been struck down; rights have been trampled. All genders, races, religions, and cultures that do not support White Christian Nationalism have been maligned and marginalized. Into this heated climate of withering human rights, the bigots who have taken as their goal the annihilation of Democracy, have tossed yet another “threat” against our children.
Libraries-the absolute definition of Free Speech, available to all, free of charge, always at the reader’s discretion to choose- have become inappropriate places for our children, apparently due to the appalling proximity of information that would lead them to make discoveries about the world they live in.
Word is out that the hard right is coming for our library, and by association, librarians, board members, and basically anyone who does not follow their agenda. Is this what WE want, as parents, as young readers (our future leaders), as teachers, as readers, and as citizens dedicated to the true principles of this great experiment in Democracy? It should be fairly obvious that should we not support our community resources, of which the library is arguably the greatest repository of diverse materials for multiple uses, our country’s great experiment could fail, town by town, in our state and beyond. I cannot imagine not being able to check out material on almost any subject I could think of. Can you? Have you seen the list of books that these morality warriors want to ban? My suspicious mind whispers that those who condemn these books have never read most of them, didn’t understand what they did read, and only use these issues to march to idealogical war against a changing world that terrifies them.
It doesn’t have to happen. We can stop it. This is a strong community of many like-minded citizens. No matter our differences, our strength lies in unity. We can’t let these misguided individuals claim our rights and freedoms. Start right here. Support our library, its employees, its board members, and our entire reading community. We can win this-together!

New Website Opens the Doors to John Paul Jones Arena
Feb. 14, 2006
Charlottesville – A new multi-media website for the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena has been launched to give Cavalier fans up-to-date information on the project. Highlighting the site is a 3D virtual tour of the arena seating bowl that allows season ticket holders and prospective season ticket buyers the opportunity to view seat locations and also their vantage point inside the arena.
The website can be accessed from the front page of www.VirginiaSports.com or www.VirginiaAthleticsFoundation.com.
In addition to the 3D tour, visitors to the site can view construction photos, browse through virtual renderings of the Arena’s numerous features, review seating maps and read about the vision, purpose and timeline elements to the project.
Prospective donors will find a wealth of helpful links regarding tickets, funding, gift opportunities and answers to seat-related questions.
A series of feature stories will be available on the front page of the website to give Virginia fans timely updates as John Paul Jones Arena nears its opening this summer. The first feature details the new Hoo Vision audio-visual system in the building
“We are excited to provide Virginia fans this detailed perspective of John Paul Jones Arena several months prior to its opening,” said Dirk Katstra, Executive Director of the Virginia Athletics Foundation. “The 3D virtual tour will give fans the view from every seat in the building without actually stepping foot in the arena. It is the same technology that a number of the NBA teams use on their ticket websites. “
With a seating capacity of 15,000, John Paul Jones Arena will nearly double the 8,392-seat configuration of University Hall. The design will allow fans an intimate setting with state-of-the art amenities for all events and an unsurpassed game day experience for Virginia basketball contests.
The multi-purpose nature of John Paul Jones Arena will bring numerous non-athletic events to the University. It will also house Virginia’s student-athlete academic affairs office, the athletic department’s dining facility and offices for several support areas. The Cavalier men’s and women’s basketball teams will operate from new offices in the Arena with spacious locker rooms and separate practice facilities.
John Paul Jones Arena is a unique collegiate facility with ninety-nine percent of the funding to construct the $129.8 million arena coming from private sources. Paul Tudor Jones II made a $35 million commitment to the University for the new arena and chose to honor his father, John Paul Jones, by naming the facility for him.

I coded a simple program useful to store games offline and do some basic review with variations handling, position editing, possibility to add comments, markers, arrows...
It is not perfect (I'm not responsible of possible bugs if you try to add variations of variations of variations of variations... ) but it is functional and I think it might be of interest for the community.
You can download the software here (for windows):
and the source files here (you need python to run them):
The readme file contains detailed instructions on how to load a game copied from the aagenielsen.dk archive (just copy in a .txt file the list of moves as displayed in the game summary and load it in Fritjof).
Don't hesitate to send me any feedback, suggestion, or report issues. But keep in mind it is an amateur work
Hope you'll find this useful!

Vallibonavenatrix, the Extinct genus of the Early Cretaceous period, was closely related to the spinosaurid theropod species. It was first discovered by Juan Cano Forner, a fossil collector, in the '80s and '90s. Forner recovered the bones from places like Santa Agueda and Els Ports Natural Park in Spain. Not only the Vallibonavenatrix cani, but he was also responsible for discovering numerous other vertebrae remains, many of which belonged to dinosaurs. His collection included six dorsal vertebrae, some caudal vertebrae, a partial skeleton pubis' proximal part, a partially complete sacrum, partial ribs, and rib fragments. Forner then put his collection in a museum in Sant Mateu, which was acknowledged by many.
Although the Vallibonavenatrix theropod was discovered by fossil collector Forner, however, it was not named by him. Elisabete Malafaia along with other colleagues published a paper that mentioned a new genus in the spinosaurid diversity called the 'Vellabonavenatrix'. The name of this species was given in honor of Forner and the town where the Vallibonavenatrix fossils were collected from. According to the paper, the Vallibonavenatrix is the most complete spinosaurid theropod specimen that was found in the Iberian Peninsula. It was also considered to be closely related to the Asian genus Ichthyovenator.
The pronunciation of this name is 'Val-le-boh-nah-ven-ah-triks'.
The Vallibonavenatrix was a type of spinosaurid theropod whose remains date back to the Early Cretaceous period.
This species belonged to the time period of the Barremian of the Early Cretaceous.
This species perhaps became extinct at the same time as spinosaurus.
The Vallibonavenatrix skeleton and fossil remains were discovered from several local areas in Spain, like the Els Ports Natural Park located in the Province of Castellon and Santa Agueda in Vallibona. Thus, it is assumed the species belonged to that location.
The species were mostly known for living on terrestrial plains.
There is not much known as to who they lived with. Their remains were found with remains of other dinosaurs which suggests that they may not belong to a particular pack.
The exact timespan of this species is unknown, however, they lived through the Early Cretaceous period.
The method of their reproduction is not clear except for the fact that because they are reptiles, they reproduced via eggs.
The Vallibonavenatrix cani is among the species that are shorter but longer. They have dorsal vertebrae that have upward projection neural spines and one spine is expanded from top to bottom in a fan-like shape very similar to the spinosaurid theropod. The complete sacrum has deep depressions and air-filled openings. The pelvis suggests that it had large chambers. Its limbs were comparatively shorter than other species.
The exact number of bones of the Vallibonavenatrix cani is not known.
The methods of communication between the species are unknown.
The Vallibonavenatrix cani was not particularly tall and was 26-29.5 ft (8-9 m) long. The largest known spinosaurid species was about 49 ft (15 m) or longer and the smallest was about 24.6 ft (7.5 m) long, this making the Vallibonavenatrix just slightly longer than the smallest species. It is much smaller than a T-rex.
The limbs of this species are smaller than the rest of its body and thus it can be assumed that its movement was not very fast.
The weight of the theropod is unknown.
There are no separate male and female names of the theropod, however, its name comes from the term 'Vallibona', which is a town's name along with the suffix 'venatrix,' which in Latin means 'huntress'.
Since this species is very old and not common; there is no specific name for a baby Vallibonavenatrix.
The theropod usually fed on aquatic animals that lived during the period of their existence.
They were carnivorous animals but their level of aggression is not known.
The spinosaurus is the largest known carnivore dinosaur species. It is heavier than the Tyrannosaurus.
The Camarillasaurus is the smallest known spinosaurid species.
There are many species of spinosaurid diversity that can be larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but Vallibonavenatrix is not larger than it.
The Vallibonavenatrix was discovered in the late '80s and early '90s. During the discovery, only a partial skeleton was recovered like partial ribs, rib fragments, some caudal vertebrae, and partial pubis' proximal part along with some other parts.
Up until now, only two species of spinosaurids have been given names.
Not all theropods are carnivores, some can be insectivores or herbivores as well.

The Fire Department carries out fire reaction tests in order to evaluate how materials react when exposed to fire under certain conditions.
The fire reaction tests are not to be confused with the fire resistance tests by which the resistance of a product (wall, ceiling, column, beam, fire door) is evaluated in terms of time.
By our testing equipment we are able to classify products according to the fire reaction test methods related to:
Experience and specialization: the standardization activities.
- Italian standards (UNI);
- European standards (EN), limited to upholstered furniture;
- Other countries standards (i.e.: standards BS, IMO, Technical Bulletin 117), limited to upholstered furniture.
Our strength lies in people: CATAS technicians contribute to the standardization at national level (UNI), by participating to the Working Group " Fire Reaction ", Commission "Combustion behavior".The products we can test:
- UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE
- UPHOLSTERED BEDS
- NOT UPHOLSTERED CHAIRS
- WALLS AND WALLS COVERS
- FLOORS AND RAISED ACCESS FLOORS
- SUSPENDED CEILINGS AND CEILING COVERS
Since 2000 Catas is authorized by the Italian Home Office to issue test certificates for the fire reaction sector necessary to obtain the ministerial homologation.
Our lab technicians are available to further explanations or requests about tests on different types of products.

Was there something missing under the Christmas tree this year?
If the answer is “Yes, a project boat!” the Oak Harbor Marina may have a relatively inexpensive answer.
Harbormaster Mack Funk will auction off three vessels, a 1969 Columbia sailboat, a 1973 Fiber Form powerboat and a 1980 Watkins sailboat, on Saturday, Jan. 9 at the marina.
The City Council authorized Mayor Jim Slowik to approve the sale of these boats at their last meeting of the year, on Dec. 15. The small flotilla is up for auction because the boat owners have not kept up on moorage payments. The moorage payment for the Columbia sailboat hasn’t been paid for over a year. That adds up to lost revenue for the marina, said Funk, who hopes to recoup some of the lost revenue through the boat’s sale.
“They communicate and then at some point they stop,” Funk said of his correspondence with boat owners who are behind on their payments.
The minimum bid on the Columbia is $250, or slightly more than two month’s moorage for the boat, which has been at the marina since June 2005. This isn’t the first time the marina has advertised this boat for auction. Twice before, at the last moment, the owner paid off is delinquent marina tab. Funk doesn’t expect that to happen this time.
Funk set a starting bid of $100 for the Fiber Form named “Endless Summer” and comparatively pricey $1,000 for the Watkins.
“Endless Summer” made the news in October after is took on water and sank while docked in its slip. The boat is currently on blocks in the marina parking lot.
“We don’t always get the minimum bid,” Funk said. If no one wants “Endless Summer,” it’ll go to the scrap yard.
The marina typically auctions “two or three” boats each year depending on the number of delinquent moorage accounts, Funk said. Bidders must pay 20 percent of their bid at the time of the sale by cash or check. The balance is due within 48 hours and the boats must be removed from the marina within three days, or no later than 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12.
A viewing will begin at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and the auction will start at noon. Call Harbormaster Mack Funk at 279-4575 for more information.

Oh dear god, wow! Last night was… well, WOW! I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw and heard such great opening acts, that worked so well with the main act. First up was Sergio Lounge, a “fictional character” as it says on the Facebook page. I had no idea about the existence of this act. During the entire performance I had a feeling like I was at an 80s prom night that you see in the movies, what with all the 80s sound and 80s attire. Possibly the best item on stage was a coloured computer keyboard that serves as a musical instrument, that caught my eye immediately. I loved their energy and the ambiance they created, everyone was dancing and loving it! I will definitely be looking out for the future performances because they are not to be missed! In the meantime I will be going through Sergio Lounge’s BandCamp, as should you!
Next up, Frau Casio! You may know the lead singer from the band Lollobrigida. I remember being in first row at Exit festival back in 2009, I think, for their performance. Great times! Frau Casio is kind of like a sister project, a bit darker and heavier but still very very dancy! Apart from me being very amateuristic at taking photos, it was impossible to take a good photo of Ida because she was all over the stage, dancing and jumping and singing! She wasn’t the only one doing that – everyone in the crowd was doing the same! Even though I really liked Lollobrigida, I have to say I am digging Frau Casio’s sound so much more and it is, without any doubt, something that our music scene needs. If you would like to check it out, head over to their SoundCloud. And Facebook! They deserve all the likes!
Ahhh, !!!, who knew I was going to see them again! First time I saw them was actually last year at Sziget Festival. They were amazing! Last night they were differently amazing, and I am so happy to have been able to see them in both festival and concert setting. Even though there was more people at the festival, !!! were not lacking in energy, dynamics on stage and making everyone dance their butts off. My legs still hurt from just a bit of dancing. Again, because they were all over the stage, taking great photos was impossible, but it was incredible seeing them do their thing, and it’s always the best things that camera cannot capture. !!! is basically a band that knows how to throw an awesome party, with everyone having fun, singing and dancing, and frankly, I’m pretty sure it could’ve gone like that for the entire night. For more on them, check out their Facebook from where you can check their other social media, it’s super fun!


Charter Hall secures another tenant at its Wesley Place precinct
Charter Hall has announced that it has secured the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) as a tenant within its $700 million Wesley Place development, currently under construction at the eastern end of Melbourne's CBD. AFCA joins vanguard, Telstra Super, Cbus Super and the Uniting Church in committing to 130 Lonsdale after agreeing to occupy approximately 7,600 sqm across Skyrise Levels 24-27.
Upon completion in 2020, 130 Lonsdale will comprise 55,000 sqm of Premium-Grade, tech-enabled office space across a 35-storey tower. The future-ready workspace is registered to pursue WELL certification and target 6-Star Green Star design, As-Built v1.1 and 5-Star NABERS ratings - aligning with the Charter Hall's vision for a precinct’ with a sustainable legacy for the future.
AFCA's 12-year lease will commence upon practical completion in July 2020, bringing the new office tower’s committed Net Lettable Area (NLA) to approximately 78%. Charter Hall has engaged Cox Architecture to lead the design of the three commercial office buildings which together form the Wesley Place precinct – 130 Lonsdale, 140 Lonsdale and 150 Lonsdale. Lendlease is currently progressing construction on 130 Lonsdale and the wider site.
According to Charter Hall, 130 Lonsdale will house one of the largest end-of-trip facilities in Melbourne along with a wellness centre, business hub and concierge services, integrated with Wesley Place’s retail precinct. Charter Hall believes the building's sculptural tapering-form will provide a unique addition to Melbourne’s skyline, whilst The Manse building, located beneath 130 Lonsdale, will deliver a distinct heritage quality to the Premium Grade workspace.
Charter Hall says a key part of the precinct’s development will be the rejuvenation of heritage architecture, including the careful restoration of one of Melbourne’s most important collections of Neo-Gothic architecture - the Wesley Church, Caretaker’s Cottage, Manse, School House and Nicholas Hall. The centrepiece of the precinct will be the Wesley Church, one of Melbourne’s finest and earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture, which will include intricate stained-glass window and stonework restoration, and a new slate roof.
The precinct has been designed with active an active public realm comprising a series of laneways, green spaces, and food and beverage offerings, all of which will support and enhance the existing heritage buildings. Of particular note, according to Charter Hall, will be the grounds surrounding the heritage buildings which will feature "one of only five beautifully curated green spaces in Melbourne’s CBD for the public to meet, relax and socialise, akin to Melbourne Library or Parliament Gardens."
The AFCA's commitment to 130 Lonsdale leaves only a number of Skyrise floors available for lease, complete with cascading terraces designed for outdoor team meetings, functions and social occasions. Additionally, the two-level foyer space provides a place to meet clients or host informal breakout meetings.
A summary of the two other developments which complete the balance of the Wesley Place precinct - 140 Lonsdale and 150 Lonsdale - are further discussed below;
This A-Grade, technology-enabled building will provide 22,000 sqm of office space across 20 levels above the existing car park structure onsite. The 5-Star Green Star rated office building will include an outdoor terrace, direct access to Wesley Place's public realm and high-quality end-of-trip and concierge facilities. Workers will also have access to the wide-ranging amenities housed across the precinct. Cox Architecture's design links 140 Lonsdale to the Wesley Precinct whilst providing a complimentary backdrop to the heritage architecture.
Charter Hall says it is currently discussing leasing opportunities within the building with a number of potential pre-commitment tenants and expects to commence construction of the new tower in the first half of 2019.
Already calling itself home to a number of Melbourne businesses, Charter Hall is in the early stage of planning to transform 150 Lonsdale St to a modern A-grade standard. Citing the work undertaken at its 570 Bourke Street office asset, Charter Hall says it plans to reposition 150 Lonsdale St with a new lobby, arrival experience, revitalised façade and end-of-trip facilities
Located on Lonsdale St, the building offers 28 levels of customisable, flexible floor plates and currently carries a 4.5 Star Green Star rating and is targeting a 5 Star NABERS energy rating
The Wesley Precinct anchors Charter Hall's strong development pipeline which encompasses projects across Australia. This is highlighted in the interactive map below:
Also on the drawing board for Charter Hall is a significant commercial development spanning 55 King Street and 555 Collins Street after the developer acquired the site at the end of October.
According to Charter Hall, it plans to "deliver a modern office tower that will enrich the precinct and community... the Charter Hall team is progressing key design and development appointments, with further news to be announced in 2019."
What they say...
AFCA is a new organisation providing consumers and small business owners with fair, free and independent solutions to their financial disputes. Our new premises at Wesley Place will enable our Melbourne staff to deliver a high quality and flexible service. We are very excited about this move and value our relationship with Charter Hall. We believe the Wesley Place development will be a great one for our customers, members and our people.
- David Locke, CEO and Chief Ombudsman of AFCA
Welcoming AFCA to the Wesley Place development is a great milestone and demonstrates the strong leasing momentum we have been able to create with approximately 78% of the asset secured. Upon completion, Wesley Place will further enhance CPOF’s portfolio quality and total return metrics and deliver our Fund Investors a coveted new Premium Grade office building in the tightly held Melbourne CBD core office precinct.
This new lease demonstrates our approach to securing significant tenant pre-commitments to de-risk the approximately $1.3 billion of committed projects that we have underway nationally within our office funds management platform. The depth of our internal development capabilities, with experienced teams based in each major capital city means that we are able to collaborate with our tenant customers to deliver great workspace experiences as well as create institutional quality investment opportunities in the office sector.
- Matthew Brown, CPOF Fund Manager
Our working and social lives are increasingly intertwined. That’s why we’re creating forward thinking workspaces, that are smart, agile and offer a diverse destination where both businesses and the wider public can use and enjoy the space. 130 Lonsdale Street continues to offer opportunities to new customers to join major corporates AFCA, vanguard, Telstra Super and CBUS in this location, with the ability to secure the best skyrise space available, four floors of which boast outdoor terrace areas.
The common link across all buildings is the future-proofed technology throughout the precinct for workforces now and into the future. We are delivering laptop-enabled green spaces, customised precinct apps and modern property technologies within the buildings that will keep tenants connected and ahead of the curve.
Wesley Place is one of Melbourne’s earliest settlements dating back to the 1800s. It is therefore immensely important for us to ensure any of the plans we have for the commercial office spaces seamlessly blend with the heritage buildings on site.
We’re incredibly proud to be working with Lovell Chen and Heritage Victoria on this major piece of heritage development for the City of Melbourne, so that the local congregation, community groups and future generations can continue to use the space as a community meeting point.
Wesley Place is set to be the next, quintessential Melbourne destination. Food, beverage, and convenience offerings will ignite the surrounding Melbourne shopping district, catering to the needs of the busy yet savvy workforce within and general public.
As developers and long-term managers of this significant project, we have a longstanding commitment to seeing the precinct come to life. Our partnership with the site’s owners, the Uniting Church, is key to realising the best outcomes for all involved.
- Charter Hall’s Regional Development Director, Simon Stockfeld
