New York City lockup has a "deeply entrenched" pattern of violence by guards, lawsuit claims.
Serving time in prison is not supposed to be pleasant. Nor, however, is it supposed to include being raped by fellow prisoners or staff, beaten by guards for the slightest provocation, driven mad by long-term solitary confinement, or killed off by medical neglect. These are the fates of thousands of prisoners every year—men, women, and children housed in lockups that give Gitmo and Abu Ghraib a run for their money.
While there's plenty of blame to go around, and while not all of the facilities described in this series have all of the problems we explore, some stand out as particularly bad actors. Our subjective ranking was based on three years of research, correspondence with prisoners, and interviews with reform advocates concerning the penal facilities with the grimmest claims to infamy. Last, but certainly not least, on our list of bad actors is a dismal facility where the guards allegedly run amok. Our series wraps up tomorrow with a handful of dishonorable mentions.

Trends and Issues in Vocational Education; Implications for Vocational Education Research and Development. Occasional Paper No. 46.
Petty, Reginald E.
Examining the trends and issues in vocational education, this speech focuses on the historical basis for vocational education, the current situation in vocational education, vocational education in the 1980's, the role of vocational education in economic development, and research related to these topics. Issues which are currently being discussed in congress, industry, and education are listed along with current problems affecting the success of vocational education in the area of transition from school to work. The implications for vocational education research are presented in the following four questions: (1) What economic impact does vocational education have? (2) Does the training one receives in vocational education make a smoother transition from school to work? (3) How well are current vocational education programs doing? and (4) Can vocational education help solve problems relating to welfare, crime, health, urban and rural development. Included is a question and answer series relating to the Bakke decision, unemployment, inflation, the youth employment and development project, competency-based testing, career centers, and area vocational-technical schools.

The Akoestival is organized every year in the Westdam Park. The Akoestival is a musical festival where bands and all kinds of musicians from Woerden and surroundings come to play their music. And not just on stage in the Westdam Park. Music is also made on the boats that sail along the Singel.
The Akoestival is organized by the SOAP foundation. SOAP also organizes Open Podia and is involved in other cultural or musical events. Think, for example, of the Port Days. Besides the ten board members of SOAP, volunteers are of course active during the festival itself. Behind the bar or to make the boat trips run smoothly, for example.

The Stench of Black Metal
Jason Healey of Atomizer is writing a book about the meaning of black metal. He wants to get bands, labels, zines and fans to contribute their impressions of the meaning behind black metal and its quintessence.
When I first discovered Black Metal in the early 90's it was as though some invincible force confronted me. Never had I witnessed a sound so primitive and raw, yet so atmospheric and bombastic. An essence that ran so much deeper than its fiendish visual and caustic tone would alone suggest. A bizarre paradox of ugliness, contempt and barbarism awash in philosophical revelation and profane religious fervor. Life, death, salvation and sacrifice - Black Metal truly is the malignant paradigm.
The Stench of Black Metal will attempt to corral the seemingly divergent positions its legions have granted it and provide what is hoped to be the definitive statement. This is not to suggest that the words of any one individual will bestow this, though readers may find divinity in a single declaration. It is not intended to be a guide or an explanation; rather a gateway to the determination of what dwells at its core. The quest to unveil its quintessence.
You can send in your statement on his website for the book, The Stench of Black Metal.

Why 3 Trees?
Martin Ford is a 3rd generation Horticulturist from Wales, UK. He has taught Aboriculture at the University of Guelph and has traveled the World helping farmers grow plants more effectively by giving them the lives they want.
Martin is changing the way North Americans think about planting trees.
Lonely trees on flat ground don't live healthy lives in Ontario. The climate is too dramatic.
Planting trees together on mounds of soil is a primary focus of Pocket Woodlands™ Designs. This facilitates optimal plant health by enabling early and rapid root establishment.
Trees living on berms grow faster --
Mounds of soil regulate root temperature, and provide loose soil for young roots to grow through.
Trees together share nutrients with each other and protect each other from the elements.
Martin sees a world where people feel confident about bringing healthy trees into our homes. He sees us moving away from flat, manicured lawns and towards the Cottage Landscape we'll drive hours to be with.
The transition starts with Pocket Woodlands™ Designs.
We're providing you with 3 trees to start - for free, and a 1 year replacement guarantee.
Just pay for the mound of soil that is a key to the success of the Woodland.
A healthy community of trees
A lonely struggling tree

Since many weeks, I am restless with an ongoing thought. A Thought to make my mission accomplish. It is a restlessness that sprang from an inner cry of mother, a quest of child, the need of an civilized society. My dream is to see a dawn without an orphan in this world. I want to build a bridge between children in need of families and families wanting children. For weeks I have made my intense search to find appropriate adoption centres, the laws abiding them, the orphanages and baby hatches that support forbidden children and homes that educated, care and prune the helpless buds of this Nation.
My search only proved a fact that there is absolutely no proper mechanism to finding homes for thousands of children living in homes, orphanages, streets and as vagabonds. It is not the fame of Slumdog Millionaire or the limelight of destitute children that is creating this urge. It is an inner loss, a personal loss that haunts a mother for years.
What is my vision: The vision is to build a common platform where the needs of two different desperate groups get satisfied. One is of the helpless children and the other group is the issue-less couples or families who can adopt children.
How to envisage this vision: Bring in the two groups together. It is a ardent urge and a very tedious task. For it involves nothing but Children - Vulnerable and dependent.
Having started collected required data, there is lot more to do. Identify all children who need homes, at least begin with few. Closely look into the adoption law, identify areas of concern, create an awareness on the availability of this children and promote them to finding homes. I know it is not an easy task. But if I am able to find at least 5 children a permanent homes where they get ample care, love and parenting in the next 6 months, my mission has a reason to celebrate. At the same time, I need to ensure that these children are not prone to domestic violence, abuse or end up as unpaid domestic helps and labourers.
What I need? - Support from my family and friends. Networking to create awareness. End of the road- Finding homes for all those little children who are orphaned due to various reasons, be it parenting negligence, unwanted pregnancies, financial circumstances, female infanticide natural disasters, war victims, refugees, and so on.
Why this? Every child needs a home. Every child needs parental care, affection and love. Every child has every right to education and growth. Every child in this country is its future.
If you as a reader, do think that my mission is worthy its effort, please do not hesitate to forward your ideas, support, information and an extended arm to join this saga. I am sure one day, we would have all reasons to be proud of what we are aiming at.

J.J. Whitley Artisanal Gold Vodka, 70cl
About this deal
An array of vodkas were presented to our panel of judges last month, from a pear-flavoured showstopper to a number of rye-based bottlings. We’ve uncovered the brands that stole the show in our latest blind tasting of the category. The vodka is made by combining Nemiroff Vodka with honey, pepper and fresh pear, delivering “pear drops” on the nose and “authentic pear flavour” on the palate. Belvedere cleaned up in the Vodka – Rye flight, securing a total of seven medals altogether. One Master award was granted to its Heritage 176, a vodka spirit drink with “bold, strong rye notes”, and “chocolatey, chewy” flavours. The company currently employs about 950 people and produces a number of different branded spirits, including Crabbies Alchoholic Ginger Beer, Dead Man’s Fingers Rum, Aber Falls and Liverpool Gin.
The Welsh bottling is five-times distilled and charcoal-filtered, made with pure glacier water and a hint of barley spirit. Out of respect for the situation, we have removed all references to the ‘Remarkably Russian’ campaign across all our JJ Whitley communications”, she added.
Out of respect for the situation, we have removed all references to the ‘Remarkably Russian’ campaign across all our JJ Whitley communications.” Halewood Artisanal Spirits is a family business founded and headquartered in the UK,” the spokesman added. “The JJ Whitley Distillery in St. Petersburg is 100% owned by Halewood and has no affiliation with the Russian government.” Western business have been pulling out of Russia in their droves in response to the invasion, with giants of the fuel industry – including BP, Exxon and Shell – all announcing their departure from the country. The judges were excited by its complex profile, and found the palate to be “creamy, smooth with a slight chilli heat” finishing with some “citrusy notes”.
Halewood, which owns a distillery in St Petersburg, plans to launch “British-made” JJ Whitley by the end of March. AAK has a sales office in Ukraine with approximately 10 employees, whose safety is our main focus. We are in continuous dialogue with them and will do our utmost to ensure their continued safety. Russia makes up 3% of AAK’s volumes, as measured in metric tons, and Ukraine makes up less than 1%. AAK continuously evaluates the situation and will adopt accordingly." Pur Vodka was noticed for its smooth qualities, bagging a Gold medal in the Microdistillery flight, while Pur Sang Select, Pur Sang Standard and Pur Vodka all won Silver awards.The Co-op and Morrisons have removed Russian vodka from shelves. Marks & Spencer has suspended shipments to its Turkish franchisee's Russian business and offered millions of pounds in aid to Ukrainian refugees and families affected by the war. Founded in 1978, family-owned Halewood owns and manages 11 main distilleries and one craft brewery and distributes to 75 countries, including the UK, South Africa, Canada, Australia, China and Germany. According to The Brand Champions 2021 report, the vodka’s million‐case‐selling brands were among the most resilient of all spirits sectors. Multiple brands, particularly those from Eastern European countries, were able to sustain or substantially grow volumes last year in the face of never‐before‐seen adversity brought about by the pandemic.

Fort San Pedro, called in Spanish as Fuerza de San Pedro is a military defence structure located in Plaza Independencia near the Pier Area of Cebu City in the Philippines. It was built by the Spaniards and indigenous Cebuano labourers under the command of Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi and the Spanish Government in Cebu.
The exact construction of this building was unknown. This is now considered as a historical park and one of the sights of Cebu City. There is also a museum in this Fort. It is now under the administration of the City of Cebu.
The fort is triangular in shape, with two sides facing the sea and the third side fronting the land. The two sides facing the sea were defended with artillery and the front with a strong palisade made of wood.

Daily natural gas spot prices in western United States exceed $50.00/MMBtu in December
On December 21, 2022, daily natural gas spot prices at three major trading hubs in the western United States (Pacific Gas & Electric [PG&E] Citygate, Northwest Sumas on the Canada-Washington border, and Malin, Oregon) were higher than $50.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). These hub prices were higher than in any other market and averaged $48.12/MMBtu above the Henry Hub benchmark, which was $6.14/MMBtu on December 21. PG&E Citygate in Northern California and Malin, Oregon, the northern delivery point into the PG&E service territory, reported the highest natural gas spot prices since December 2000—in both real and nominal terms—according to pricing data from Natural Gas Intelligence. The price at Southern California (SoCal) Citygate was highest on December 13 at $49.67/MMBtu.

Join me and Zachary Mowitz for a workshop series exploring the cello's journey through time and the many ways its history can illuminate our hearing of music, past and present. The series culminates in a recital on June 16, featuring the “Oracle” alongside a new piece by Ira Mowitz and staples from the solo cello repertoire. Participants will discover how this new music connects to the rich legacy of the cello's past, emerging with a deeper experience of music.
In this workshop, the first of three, Zach and I will imagine how we might listen like Bach. We will examine how historically informed listening can deepen our experience of a piece in the concert hall. Excerpts by Gabrielli, Bach, and others will reveal the rich 350-year history of the cello. Equipped with this understanding, we’'ll listen to our two new works with enlightened ears.

NASHIK: Due to the heavy rains lashing the district for the past two weeks, various dangerous wadas or their parts in the city’s outskirts have collapsed. With yesterday’s incident, the number of collapsed wadas reached seven. Around 09:00 am, a closed wada collapsed yesterday in the Bhadrakali area with no loss of life reported. As per the information received, the collapse led to financial loss worth lakhs.
Upon receiving the information, Nashik Municipal Corporation’s fire brigade personnel and construction department officials and employees rushed to the spot. The personnel initiated the rescue operation, and residents willingly came forward to help.
The wada’s wall collapsed near the Saraswati Line area in front of the Malhar Vadapav shop in the Bhadrakali area. Fortunately, no one was present in the wada’s proximity while the closed wada collapsed. The corporation had already issued a notice to this wada, tagging it as dangerous. Meanwhile, around seven wadas or their parts have collapsed in the old Nashik area, while 15 dangerous wadas have been evacuated by Nashik Municipal Corporation’s officials. The corporation has issued notices to 1117 dangerous wadas this year and has instructed the owners/tenants to demolish dangerous wadas.

QWhat is the best way to go about rejuvenating my potted palm that has been growing indoors for several years?
AI would advise the following:
1. Deal with the worst first, namely whether the palm is basically healthy and worth keeping. If most of the fronds are brown and dead, I suggest you retire it and invest in a new palm. If, despite numerous dead fronds and those with brown tips, there are several that are vigorous looking and mostly green, here`s the next step:
2. Remove every frond that is entirely dead by cutting at the base where it joins the main stem. I use scissors to do this since the part of a palm frond that clasps the stem is tough and fibrous; when fully dry, any of the base that remains and which you couldn`t get to with scissors can be shucked off with your fingers.
3. It`s generally best to remove entirely any frond that is more than half dead. Use scissors to trim off all other brown tips; I make a slanting cut so the shape of the new tip resembles that of the original.
4. If your palm has been growing in the same pot of soil for a year or more, I suggest you pep it up by top-dressing. Here`s how: Use your fingers to remove the top two or three inches of old soil, working carefully so as not to bruise or break the roots near the surface. Replace with fresh soil made by mixing together equal parts of packaged all-purpose potting soil, sphagnum peat moss and clean, sharp sand; to each quart of this mix add one heaping tablespoon each of steamed bone meal and blood meal (from your local garden center).
If your palm has been growing in the same pot of soil for two years or more, repotting is in order. If possible, do this outdoors; otherwise, do as I do and spread several thicknesses of newspaper, or a painter`s dropcloth, on the floor to confine the mess. Again, as for top-dressing, it`s best to remove most of the old soil by using your fingers to avoid breaking too many roots.
Trim off or prune back any roots that are broken, obviously dead or discolored, or that circle around and around at the base of the old soil mass. Clean the pot or select a new one, perhaps a size or two larger, and replant using the same mixture suggested for top-dressing. Position the palm so that its base emerges from the soil at the same point as before. Water well and place in bright light but no direct sun for about two weeks.
Palms tend to resent root disturbance; if this fact disturbs you, there is an alternative to complete repotting, namely the regular use of a bio-organic fertilizer such as that offered by Ringer Research. (If not at your local dealer, contact Judd Ringer, 6860 Flying Cloud Dr., Eden Prairie, Minn. 55344, and ask for a catalogue, which is free.)
5. Give the fronds that remain a cleansing shower of tepid water, outdoors or in the bathtub. If your palm is too large to move, use moistened paper toweling or a soft cotton cloth and painstakingly bathe each segment, both upper and lower surfaces, of every frond. If any pests such as mealybugs, brown scale or spider-mites are present, this latter treatment is in order anyhow and should be repeated weekly until there are no more bugs.
QIs it possible to grow a palm without any sun?
APalms, especially the kentia and Chamaedorea elegans, are good keepers in low light but since you said ``grow,`` I`ll have to say ``no`` in response. My palms receive bright natural light all day and an hour or two of sun;
frankly they`d be a lot healthier if I could provide a half-day or more of sun.
QIs it a good idea to move a potted palm outdoors in the summer?
AYes, generally speaking. Wait until night temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Gradually move it from a shaded, protected situation into more sun, otherwise tender indoor growth will burn beyond recovery.
QWhy do the leaf tips of my sweet olive, Osmanthus fragrans, persist in turning brown? The plant is otherwise healthy and it bloomed last year from early fall to late spring. It is in a half-sunny window with fresh air, moderate temperatures and I am careful never to let the soil get too dry.
AThis sounds like potash deficiency. Try using a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potash, with little or no nitrogen. Clarel Laboratories, Inc.
(513 Grove, Deerfield, Ill. 60015) sells two such formulations: ``Flower Cracker`` (1-6-5) and ``Granny`s Bloomers`` (0-6-5).

Cheap and still costing more than its worth
Dry and extremely mean with the barely present buttercream.
choose something else
tastes like sweet cotton wool
Not as good as it used to be
We stopped buying this cake for a while because we were finding it dry and virtually no buttercream compared to how it used to be. Tried it again today but nothing has improved. Would gladly pay more for there to be a decent amount of filling between the layers - the cake falls apart as there is so little.
I wish I´d read the reviews before buying. The cake was dry and tasteless with hardly any buttercream. The icing had a peculiar flavour - not like any coffee I´ve ever tasted !
Not too sweet, not dry, good coffee taste. Happy
I I enjoyed it. I shared it with my friend on her birthday. I particularly loved the icing on top which was very tasty and in my opinion not too sweet. The sponge didn't taste at all dry to me and that too had a nice coffee taste. The buttercream filling could have been thicker but it was no big deal overall. I find many iced cakes too sweet but this one I thought was excellent for the price. I'd probably treat myself to it again.
Dry and tasteless
I could only just tell that this cake was coffee. It was very dry, even with a cup of tea, I did not enjoy it at all.
Would not recommend
Very dry cake - the buttercream was virtually undetectable and the fondant topping was rubbery, tasteless and detached from the cake. Relegated to the bin, never going to buy this again.
Will not buy this again.
This was a regular purchase, but when I cut the first piece from the latest one there was no buttercream at all at that end or, as far as I could tell, at the other end and very little in the middle making the cake dry and tasteless. Tesco should be carrying out regular quality control checks on such items especially when there are negative reviews (in my opinion!)
Used to be so noce, now its awful!
These used to be so good. Now the icing is so thin & tasteless. The cake is dry and has no coffee flavour. And as for the buttercream...where is it.. its so thinly spread...you are hard pushed to see it? No taste to the cake at all
Just awful. I rarely buy cake, it is a very rare treat. So i was really looking forward to this but what a disappointment ! The buttercream was so thin it was difficult to detect and the cake itself was dry although there were still 3 weeks untilit reached its best before date. Undaunted i made up some buttercream and applied between the layers, but this still did not address the fact that the cake was dry. I had to admit defeat and consign this apology for a cake to the bin !

From Citizens for Free Speech:
Many parents are asking what they can do for their school-age children who are being forced to wear face masks in school. Schools are not listening to parents and are refusing to accommodate those who physically cannot or don’t want to wear masks.
We have received some anecdotal stories that wearing a mask at school is causing physical or psychological harm to some children. We want to dig deeper, and ask you to help.
If you have a first-hand story that you can share, CFFS has set up a new web site to collect such reports.
By first-hand, we mean that you must be directly involved with the student and are not making a second-hand report of something you have heard from someone else. Reports for any other reason or topic will be deleted without notice or apology.

Team Sky dominate fourth stage of Paris-Nice with Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas securing one-two on final climb
- Richie Porte finish first in fourth stage of Paris-Nice for Team Sky
- Geraint Thomas was second for a one-two for the British team
- Porte, race winner in 2013, says he would love to triumph again
Team Sky took a one-two on the fourth stage of Paris-Nice as Richie Porte crossed the line just ahead of Geraint Thomas.
The British team showed their strength on the final climb of the Croix de Chaubouret and the pair punched the air after both making valuable moves towards the yellow jersey.
The pack had already thinned out considerably when Welshman Thomas made his big move with three kilometres to go of the longest stage of the race.
It was a Team Sky one-two on the fourth stage of Paris-Nice secured by Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas
Australian Porte then kicked away one kilometre from the finish and it was only Thomas who was able to go with him.
Michal Kwiatkowski was third, eight seconds adrift, and that was enough for the Pole to reclaim the overall race lead by a single second, with Porte now next in line and Thomas another two seconds behind in third.
Porte, the race winner in 2013, told the Team Sky website: 'That was a great performance from the team. We took it on from the bottom of that last climb. It wasn't easy on there, so to finish first and second is fantastic.
Porte celebrates on the podium after winning the fourth stage, and he is now eyeing another overall win
'We've got two more hard days coming up now and then a time trial on the Col d'Eze. I love that climb and I'd love to have a good ride there. I'm in a good position and having such a strong team here will definitely help.
'With Geraint and I up there on the general classification now, it's good to have two cards to play. The dream is to hold the yellow jersey on Sunday evening. I love this race and I'd love to win it again.'
Porte (centre) said the success of himself and Jones gave Sky 'two cards to play' as the race goes on

Following the success of "Faith Of The Saint", A-RIZE presents his second release on Art of Creation called "Overcome The Dark".
A-RIZE is back in Eternity to present his second release on the sublabel of Art of Creation. After the release of Supernova, last release on the label by Last of Us, A-RIZE returns with Overcome The Dark. His first release was a complete success. In each of the festivals we have attended, Faith Of The Saint has been part of at least one tracklist. Headhunterz at Medusa Beach Club, Last of Us at Headhunterz At The Beach or Wildstylez at Electric Love Festival. Resounding success, highlighting the words of Headhunterz pre-release considering it a hit in the current scene.
Following his philosophy, it's neither euphoric nor raw oriented. Is forging his own sound, like many top-level artists. Hardstyle as we remembered it, said A-RIZEhimself. Along with the voice of hicksu, come back with a track extremely melodic. Delight for the ears. This time, there was no preview at any previous festivalWe were even surprised that he was the one who release. Along with Last of Us and JGSW, the future belongs to them and every day that passes they show it.
Overcome The Dark is already available both on Spotify as in the channel Art of Creation. Be attentive to its social networks, as if A-RIZE and Last of Us have already repeated release... soon it will be the turn of JGSW. We will be here to tell you!

Giving every student in Downers Grove Community High School District 99 a computer to take home with them was a massive undertaking. It didn't come off without challenges, but district officials are calling the implementation that began in August a success.
There are nearly 5,000 students at Downers Grove North and Downers Grove South and each has a district-issued Chromebook to ensure 24/7 access to a computer, as well as equal access to instruction and digital content.
The district is reviewing how the 1:1 learning program has been working and has plans in the future to improve it by surveying students, teachers and parents and continuing technology learning for teachers.
Gina Ziccardi, assistant superintendent for student learning, said the district is looking at how Chromebooks are helping students become more collaborative, empowered and help them learn in ways that were previously unattainable without the devices.
Joann Purcell, a math teacher and technology coach at Downers Grove North, and Nader Najjar, a special services teacher, said that teachers have spent the initial months of the program seeking and trying tools that will help support student learning.
"There are a lot of tools out there," Purcell said. "The harder part of what we're doing is figuring out if a tool will work to supplement or support our students in a way we couldn't before."
Some of the tools that teachers are using include Google Classroom, a suite of tools to improve collaboration, and Braingenie, a math and science practice site.
Najjar said Google Classroom lets a large group of students collaborate on work at the same time and see what others are doing. Braingenie enables teachers to individualize instruction so they can give more challenging assignments to students who've mastered the work and dial it down and give other problems to students who are having a harder time. It also lets teachers see how much time a student spends on answering a question or problem.
District officials said the first months of the school year have been a learning process. The district has various ways in which it is promoting professional development for teachers including technology coaches for teachers, online tutorials and an online website for teachers to share information or advice on what is working in their classrooms.
For students who don't have Internet access at home, the district is leasing Kajeet Smartspots that provides WiFi to students in their homes. The district has leased 50 and 32 are currently in use by students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Rod Russeau, director of technology, said implementing the program has been a massive undertaking for his department. The district had to double its bandwidth and early in the school year experienced problems with connectivity. The problem was linked to a content filtering tool and the district has switched to a different tool, which seems to be working.
"The change was instant and it was good," he said.
The district also has technology centers in each of the schools where students can take their Chromebooks if they need repairs. The centers are supervised by staff, but students do the work of diagnosing and fixing the devices, which officials said provides those students with a hands-on learning experience.
Mathew LaRue, a sophomore at Downers Grove South , said the 1:1 learning program helped him stay on track with his classroom work even when he was sick. He said he also likes the feedback from teachers and other students.
"It's more of an interactive experience for everyone rather than kids getting bored," he said.
Sam Bates, a senior at Downers Grove South, likes that she's able to work at her own space by, for instance, completing enrichment assignments at home for her Spanish class.
"I definitely was one of those students who needed to take time so I'd go home and finish at my own pace," she said.

The beefing in the music industry looks to make the industry interesting when things seem to be boring.
Well, Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese and Tinny have been going at each other for the past weeks now.
On the last occasion, Rapper Kwaw Kese who was very furious after Tinny called him a “wack” rapper insulted him when he was being interviewed on a radio station.
The Swedru Rapper warned Tinny to stop his hypocritical behavior or else he’ll beat him up when he sees him.
We thought that was going to be the end but Singer Tinny is not backing down as well.
Tinny posted on his Instagram “Do not correct a fool, or he will hate you; Correct a wise man and he will appreciate you”
Well, we believe Tinny is retaliating by calling Rapper Kwaw Kese, a fool. Let’s wait and see what Kwaw Kese will do.

Two minors ‘forced out’ of guardian’s house by homeowner, barangay execs
MANILA, Philippines — Officials of a homeowners’ association and a barangay in Marilao, Bulacan were accused of a slew of charges for allegedly forcing two minors out of a resident’s house because they were not recorded as members of his household, a supposed violation of the guidelines of the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.
Manuel Marinay on Sunday wrote a letter to Interior Secretary Eduardo Año seeking an investigation into the actions of the chairman of Barangay Saog, and the president of Villa Roma 3 Homeowners Association in Marilao, Bulacan.
The homeowner president allegedly barged inside their house at about 8PM of April 17 and forced the complainant’s 17-year-old nephew and 15-year-old grandchild out of his house because they were not registered as official residents there, and were told to go back to their own house in the next barangay.
A copy of Marinay’s letter to Año was shared to INQUIRER.net on Monday. The letter was also signed by his sister-in-law, who is the mother of his nephew.
“Nais ko lang pong bigyang pansin (ang) hindi makataong pagtrato sa aking pamangkin na nilantad nila sa kahihiyan nang itinaboy nila sa aming tahanan at pagkatapos ay tila ipinarada sa dis-oras ng gabi patungo sa kabilang barangay kung saan nakatira ang hipag ko,” he said.
(I just want to bring to your attention the inhumane treatment accorded to my nephew, who they had subjected to public disgrace when they forced him out of my house and short of paraded him late at night so they could go to the nearby village where my sister-in-law lives.)
According to Marinay, the barangay and homeowners association officials told him to drive away his nephews since they were not listed as official members of his household.
Marinay, however, insisted that the two minors were living in his house because he was their guardian. He further claimed the minors had been staying at his own house, with the consent of their parents, even before the quarantine was raised in Luzon.
Marinay said he will file charges of discrimination, child abuse, trespassing and abuse of authority against the two officials.
He further asked by what authority the barangay and subdivision officials have to barge inside his house to demand such action, and to determine who should live inside his residence. He stressed that the homeowners’ association also did not inform him of any supposed violation beforehand.
According to the complainant, the barangay officials even asked each member of his household to show a quarantine pass, even when only one member of a family is allowed to have it.
“Masakit mang aminin, pero wala silang paliwanag o sagot sa aking mga nilahad na tanong at lalo pa nilang iginiit na paalisin ang aking pamangkin at ang kanyang kasama (It hurts to admit but they don’t have an explanation or any answer to my questions. They even insisted that my nephew and his companion should be kicked out),” said Marinay.
To make matters worse, Marinay said, his nephew and grandson were then paraded in the street and escorted to the gate of the subdivision where officials of the other barangay were waiting to usher them to the house of his sister-in-law.
“They were paraded like common criminals,” Marinay told INQUIRER.net.
“Ang karanasang ito ay nagdulot ng takot at kahihiyan sa isipan ng aking pamangkin at apo. Tumanim sa kanilang isipan na sila ay may ginawang masama at takot dahil may pinaiiral na enhanced community quarantine bilang proteksyon sa coronavirus,” he explained.
(This experience has caused fear and embarrassment to my nephew and grandson. They thought that they did something wrong and they are afraid.)
Marinay then called for concerned authorities to investigate the incident and to impose sanctions on those responsible.
INQUIRER.net is still trying to contact the concerned barangay and the DILG, but they have yet to respond to queries at this time.

Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 1: The Enigma Review
Telltale’s unique take on Batman’s lore was mostly successful in the first season. Villains transformed into allies, and everyday nobodies emerged as unexpected threats, all as Bruce Wayne’s sanity was tested. From Lady Arkham to Two-Face, a key theme in the story was duality. Almost every prominent figure had an alternate persona or hidden agenda – we even learned Bruce Wayne’s parents were deserving of a cell in Arkham Asylum.
In The Enigma, the premiere episode of a new five-part season, Telltale clearly liked its first taste of bat blood, and may have gone a little wild from it. This new story is aggressively dark and gruesome, flighty in its character building, and more about shocking moments than establishing the foundation of a cohesive narrative.
This episode focuses mostly on The Riddler, who looks like the character comic fans have known for decades at first glance. He wears green, his calling card is a question mark, and he gives you a chance to escape or catch him if you solve his elaborate riddles. Despite the familiar antics, this Riddler is nothing more than a cold-blooded killer; Telltale turns him into Jigsaw from the Saw movies. His riddle machines slice off fingers and heads, and cook you if you don’t move fast enough. When backed into a corner, he lashes out and tries to murder as many people as possible. The duality Telltale achieved with Penguin, Two-Face, and Catwoman is nowhere to be found in this villain. He’s just a one-note killing machine, and a pawn for a larger story arc that we only briefly get a whiff of at the end of the episode. He overstays his welcome, and is so over the top in his killing that he's oddly comical.
The most interesting moments in this episode are the interstitial sequences that show Bruce Wayne developing a relationship with John Doe, who we all know eventually becomes The Joker. Telltale is taking its time with this powder keg of a friendship, perhaps even letting players entertain the belief they can save John from becoming Batman’s greatest villain. This relationship is wonderfully cryptic at this point, and I hope Telltale continues to evolve it slowly.
The introduction of Amanda Waller is also an interesting curveball, but depending on how you play your cards, it leads to an odd skip in the narrative where a rift is immediately formed between James Gordon and Batman. Mere minutes before this moment, everything is fine between the two – they are chummy and work well together. What happens next is a moment where Telltale goes too far in drumming up contention for a key “player choice” moment. The fracturing of this relationship is shoehorned in, but does give way to nice mystery that begs the questions why Waller is in Gotham, and what form her Agency will take.
The narrative in this episode is a mess, weighed down by too much Riddler mayhem, with a few bright spots hopefully sowing the seeds for a better second act. Gameplay mostly revolves around extensive quick-time events, with each button press unleashing a powerful choreographed Batman combat sequence. Telltale tries to up the difficulty with how many buttons the player must push at once. Often you are required to press a direction along with a face button. You are even be required to press all four face buttons at once in two battles – moments that show the apex of how silly quick-time events can be. I’ve said this before, but these actions don’t feel like player input; they do little more than slow down what would otherwise be a fun movie sequence to watch.
The only gameplay deviation that legitimately feels like the player has agency is a “do or die” Riddler puzzle with multiple choices, fail states, and just one solution. If you really think about what the puzzle is, the solution is easy, but Telltale does a nice job ramping up the tension in this point. I guessed wildly my first time, died, and was hit with a “oh duh” realization on my second attempt. Telltale needs more sequences like this, where you really do feel like you are doing detective work with a gun pointed at the back of your head.
The Enigma lives up to its name of being difficult to understand from start to finish. Telltale is all over the place in this episode, but the desire to be gritty and different is exposed too much, and the story suffers from it, feeling more like an odd one shot than the first part of something larger. Mysteries abound, however, and enough engaging narrative threads are left dangling to potentially right this second season’s direction.

Junot Díaz Reads His Short Story “Aurora”
From Our Radio Theater Podcast, Storybound
Storybound is a radio theater program designed for the podcast age. Hosted by Jude Brewer and with original music composed for each episode, the podcast features the voices of today’s literary icons reading their essays, poems, and fiction.
On the first episode of season 3, Junot Díaz reads his short story “Aurora”, with sound design and music composition from Y La Bamba.
Junot Díaz was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Drown; The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and This Is How You Lose Her, a New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist. He is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, PEN/Malamud Award, Dayton Literary Peace Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, and PEN/O. Henry Award.

D.I.Y. Guitar Effects Prototyping Board
updated 07/03/03 by Paul Marossy
18 months of building several guitar effects circuits, I finally
feel like I have learned enough to start doing some breadboarding
and experimenting with some of my own ideas. I first saw a
prototyping board several months ago through the guitar effects
forum I frequent, Aron Nelson's Stompbox Forum at http://www.diystompboxes.com
The best way to experiment is by using a "breadboard".
A breadboard is simply just some molded plastic with a series of
openings 1/10" apart, connected in rows by metal clips on
the underside of the breadboard. All you have to do is slide
wires and component leads in these holes to make your circuit, no
soldering is required as the breadboard makes all of the
connections for you.
Since guitar effects circuits all have some things in common,
such as input and output jacks, volume and/or gain controls, tone
controls, etc., you can permanently mount the breadboard, some
spare pots and jacks to a piece of wood and hard wire them to the
breadboard. I made this whole thing for under $10, since most of
the parts were given to me or were lying around in my parts bin.
The whole project might cost $50-65 if you had to buy all of the
Below is some pictures of what I call my "guitar effects
||Here is a top view. Nothing fancy, it's just meant to be
effective. The wood is a piece of 1"x6" pine that I had laying
around the garage. It is about 10" long. The breadboard is nailed to
the wood. The space to the left of the breadboard can accommodate a smaller
breadboard (RadioShack #276-175), which can come in handy if I run out of
room when building more complex circuits. I installed a 9V battery clip
and battery holder, a power switch, and an LED to indicate if the power
is on or off. The bottom has one adhesive backed cork pad on each corner.
||This is a view
from the front. I labeled all of my pot values, input and output jacks and
ground points. I used (1) 0.5K, (2) 10K, (1) 100K, (2) 250K and (1) 1M pots.
I used some knobs that I purchased at RadioShack. The metal brackets that
the pots are mounted in were given to me by a friend. Those brackets are
in turn mounted to a bracket which came out of my previous printer which
died, and was immediately cannibalized for parts...
||This is a view from the back. The wires connected to the
pots are three-wire ribbon connectors, which work excellent for pots. The
other end of the wires were tinned with a little bit of solder and then
inserted into the breadboard. The pots will be permanently connected to
the breadboard. I used some point-to-point terminal strips for things like
the wires from the input and output jacks, and connections to ground. The
input and output jacks are the enclosed type, the body of the jack is super-glued
onto the wood board. Labels were made with my wife's label making machine.
||I also installed an RCA phono plug jack for an oscilloscope
probe that I created, which has an male RCA plug at one end instead of the
usual scope probe stuff. There are two wires that go from the RCA jack to
alligator clips, one of the wires has a 1M series resistor to keep from
loading the circuit too much. (I will see how this works, I may make it
a 10M if it seems to load the circuit down) Since I have a two channel scope,
this setup enables me to see how a signal looks going into one part of a
circuit and what it looks like after a another part of the circuit.
||This prototyping board also doubles as a circuit testing
fixture. You can quickly connect to the various pots and the input and output
jacks for quick testing and troubleshooting. This is a great time to make
use of a DIY Audio Tester
Probe , a simple and effective troubleshooting device.
there you have it. I hope this gives you ideas on how to build
your own sleep deprivation device, uh, I mean guitar effects
prototyping board. (After having this thing done for less than a
week, I have already designed my own circuit, which I am still
Having a breadboard can also be a very useful tool to hear how
changes you make to a circuit will sound. It's great for messin'
with cap values and types, there is really no limits as to what
you can do with this thing, except your imagination. In just two
evenings, I have learned quite a lot! Since I am a hands-on sort
of person, it helps me with reconciling abstract audio
electronics theory with real world results. I am really glad I
built this thing! Not so sure about the wife, though. :)
Oh, and make sure you get one or two extra breadboards, one may
not be enough once you start getting ideas! I have a nice Global
Specialties Proto Board 2 that was given to me that will serve as
an independent breadboard, if I have two projects running
simultaneously. (You never know....)

Rountree Wind Symphony to perform tribute to James Clifton Williams on Oct. 20
PLATTEVILLE, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Rountree Wind Symphony will perform a tribute to James Clifton Williams, one of America’s leading wind ensemble composers, on Oct. 20 at the UW-Platteville Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m.
A professor at both the University of Texas at Austin and at the University of Miami, James Clifton Williams is regarded by many as a pioneer in the world of wind band music composition. He passed away in 1976.
The performance will feature Dr. Barry Ellis, director of bands at UW-Platteville, conductor; Dr. David Cooper, chair of the UW-Platteville Department of Performing and Visual Arts, trumpet soloist; and UW-Platteville’s Singing Pioneers.
The musical tribute will include a selection of Williams’ works from “The Music and Art of J. Clifton Williams: Classics and Newly Discovered Gems,” the inaugural recording of UW-Platteville’s Rountree Wind Symphony ensemble, as well as other works by the composer that were not included on the recording.
“Williams can be credited for the development of concert band literature as a valid medium for serious expression,” said Ellis. “Many of his titles are considered standard repertoire for wind band.”
The recording of the CD in 2012 was the capstone to Ellis’ sabbatical research. Ellis first heard Williams’ work while attending a band concert with his father at a young age and credits the music of Williams as a defining moment in his musical career. According to Ellis, the CD recording is an excellent resource for band directors, especially for new directors.
UW-Platteville’s Rountree Wind Symphony ensemble is a professional ensemble comprised of wind and percussion faculty members, selected students and alumni and regional professional musicians from southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa. “The ensemble is a great opportunity for a select number of students to play alongside both professors and wind band professionals,” said Ellis.
UW-Platteville’s Singing Pioneers is an advanced men's chorus conducted by Dr. Bob Demaree. The ensemble tours regularly and performs demanding repertoire showcasing a variety of historical genres and styles. Members of this ensemble also frequently sing with a mixed choir.
The cost of the performance is $10 for general admission and $5 for UW-Platteville students.

Topics: News, What's New from the Charities Directorate of CRA, Canadian Charity Law, Ethics and Canadian Charities, Avoiding 'Charity' Scams
The Tax Court of Canada in Isah, A. v. The Queen (TCC) deals with donations disallowed by CRA and the court ultimately decided to impose gross negligence penalties on the taxpayer who submitted fake official donation receipts.
The Court discuss the test for gross negligence:
…‘Gross negligence’ must be taken to involve greater neglect than simply a failure to use reasonable care. It must involve a high degree of negligence tantamount to intentional acting, an indifference as to whether the law is complied with or not. I do not find that high degree of negligence in connection with the misstatements of business income. To be sure, the plaintiff did not exercise the care of a reasonable man and, as I have noted earlier, should have at least reviewed his tax returns before singing them. A reasonable man in doing so, having regard to other information available to him, would have been led to believe that something was amiss and would have pursued the matter further with his bookkeeper.
The Court concluded in assessing gross negligence penalties:
 In this case however the mis-statements in the 2011 return are the claims for deduction for charitable donations to World Vision and to Heat & Stroke in the respective amounts of $2,533.86 and $2,464.08. I do not think the Appellant, who represented himself in this matter, would have had a problem in spotting these wrong amounts if he had taken time to review the return (as he said he did not) before signing it. I think that these two false statements would have been obvious to him, as they would have been to almost anyone in reviewing that return. The Appellant was completely aware that he had had no intention of donating any such amounts to these two charitable institutions.
 Accordingly I do find that the Respondent has met its burden of proof, through cross-examination of the Appellant, that the false statements in the return as established by the evidence of Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Brown, were made, participated in, assented to or acquiesced in through gross negligence of the Appellant.
What a shame that 2 charity officials had to attend at court to testify in this matter.
Do you require legal advice with respect to Canadian or Ontario non-profits or charities?
