Minority Contractors Lose Preference At Pentagon
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
From NPR News, this is All Things Considered. I am Michele Norris. On November 4th, Election Day, a federal appeals court issued a ruling that didn't get much attention. It declared unconstitutional a Pentagon affirmative-action program that benefits contracting companies owned by racial minorities. As NPR's Jeff Brady reports, the court decision could mean the end of similar programs at all levels of government.
JEFF BRADY: For about 10 years, Rothe Development Corporation had a contract to maintain and operate computers systems at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. In the late 1990s, another company bid on the contract, and because it was owned by a Korean-American couple, it was given preference over Rothe. Dale Patenaude is Rothe's vice president. His company sued because, he says, the decision was unfair.
Mr. DALE PATENAUDE (Vice President, Rothe Development, Inc.): This is no different than Rosa Parks being told to go to the back of the bus. We were told to go to the back of the contracting bus because we were white and they were going to put somebody that was an Asian-American in front of us.
BRADY: Patenaude's wife is president of Rothe. They have about 150 employees, and he says arguing this case over the past decade has set them back $2 million. It's unlikely they'll recover much of that money, but Patenaude says this was not a business decision; it was about setting things right.
Mr. PATENAUDE: Affirmative action - I think - we need to be past affirmative action. We need to go - we need to move on, you know? We need to have everybody have an equal chance, but you don't give people an equal chance by pulling other people down.
BRADY: Earlier this month, the appeals court for the federal circuit in Washington ruled in Rothe's favor.
Professor STEVEN SCHWINN (Associate Professor, The John Marshall Law School): It is a significant decision.
BRADY: Steve Schwinn is a professor at John Marshall Law School in Chicago. He says Congress relied on racial-discrimination studies to reauthorize the law that was behind the decision to deny Rothe the contract. That law sets aside five percent of the money the Defense Department spends on contracts for minority-owned firms. Schwinn says the appeals court decision was critical of the studies.
Prof. SCHWINN: What it says specifically is that Congress lacked the evidence to justify a race-based program.
BRADY: Schwinn predicts that if the case makes it before the current Supreme Court, the decision will be upheld.
Prof. SCHWINN: It could have an effect on any level of government that has adopted a race-based affirmative-action program that's designed to remedy the effects of discrimination.
BRADY: Then, minority-owned companies would lose their advantage in billions of dollars worth of government contracts. One company is TGV Rockets in Norman, Oklahoma. Look at their webpage and there's a video of one of their rockets being tested at NASA.
(Soundbite of rocket launch)
BRADY: CEO Patrick Bahn is Asian-American. He says engineers look at that video and see success.
Mr. PATRICK BAHN (Chief Executive Officer, TGV Rockets, Inc.): I look at it, I see $30,000 a second rolling out the back, because I'm the guy writing the checks.
BRADY: Bahn also bids on Department of Defense contracts, and he says there's still a need for contracting preferences based on race.
Mr. BAHN: Oftentimes, people who are cut out of, you know, the middle path of American society still have very big things that they can contribute.
BRADY: Bahn will be among those watching closely to see what happens next with this case. Congress could decide to address the court's concern about the studies it examined to justify the law. The Air Force says it hasn't decided yet whether to appeal the decision. Jeff Brady, NPR News, Washington.

New England Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry
Found in 2 Collections and/or Records:
The collection contains the records of the ASJ, an organization active in the Boston area, which survives today as Action for Post-Soviet Jewry, as well as those of two other organizations closely related to ASJ: the New England Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry and the Soviet Jewry Legal Advocacy Center. The bulk of the collection is from the decade starting in the late 1970s through the late 1980s. The collection includes large databases on Refuseniks, prisoners of conscience and Jewish émigrés. Along with the database spreadsheet forms there are a large number of individual files. Among these files are materials related to Soviet Jewish refugees in Italy from the time of the Ladispoli crisis of the late 1980s. The collection also includes a substantial number of reports from visits to the USSR by ASJ activists and other travelers cooperating with the Soviet Jewry Movement as well as a considerable number of photographs, posters and publications.
Collection contains the correspondence, flyers, reports, research, and other documents relating to the life and efforts of Saralea Zohar Aaron on behalf of the freedom for Soviet Jewry and Ethiopian Jewry movements.
Aaron participated in the activities of the New England chapter of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry in the early 1970's; as a nurse, she wrote several reports describing harsh medical conditions of imprisoned Soviet Jews; she wrote letters on behalf of these movements, mostly to congressmen; and was a member of the Boston Committee to Save Ethiopian Jewry, a grassroots group which advocated for their rescue, for which she was the recording secretary during 1979-1980.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/3/18
This was a weird week in comics. Some weeks, all my favorites come out and I get flooded with so many fun comics to review! And then we get weeks like this one, where none of the new Marvel Comics are ones that I read, or that I’m so far behind on that I can’t review, like All-New Wolverine (which remains excellent). And since it was a Fifth Wednesday, DC mostly put out Annuals, which I’m never all-too thrill to review. The Detective Comics Annual has an origin for James Tynion’s Clayface, so at least there’s that.
But of regular, meat and potatoes comics that I actually read, there was really only the new issue of Harley Quinn for me this week! It’s an improvement over the previous issue, but I’m going to give Comic Book of the Week to the first issue of The Silencer, one of DC’s new wave of titles. I applaud DC for releasing a wave of comics with almost entirely new characters — even if I haven’t been too tickled by the lineup personally. The Silencer could be fun, though.
Honestly, All-New Wolverine should have won. I’ll get back to reviewing it next issue.
Meanwhile, I really, really don’t care for Dark Nights: Metal, which saw a new issue drop this week. It thinks it’s so clever, fiddling with DC continuity on the fly and treating it like kibble for fanboys. But DC continuity is so malleable right now, after the New 52 and Rebirth, that none of this stuff matters. Martian Manhunter shows up in a surprise appearance, and I was left scratching my head as to when the last time Martian Manhunter mattered or had solid continuity. How is his sudden arrival supposed to mean anything if we don’t know where he’s arriving from? Or why his arrival is sudden?
It’s stuff like that, plus the general idea that the villains are just a vague, omnipresent evil that can be anywhere, do anything and beat anybody…until they can’t and the heroes win. No thanks.
Comic Reviews: Harley Quinn #36 and The Silencer #1.
Harley Quinn #36
Writer: Frank Tieri
Artist: Inaki Miranda
I really want Frank Tieri to branch off and tell his own Harley Quinn stories. As much as I loved the Conner/Palmiotti stuff, and as much as I like those characters, I’m ready and willing to let them lie so that Tieri can really cut loose and tell his own stories. I think he’s slightly hampered by these characters.
The Gang of Harleys rush out to the boardwalk chasing Bat-Harley as she swoops at people, gobbles up food and basically causes a big ruckus. They can do little but watch, until Harley comes down to ground level and they try to talk to her. But then Francine Langstrom shows up as She-Bat and starts beating everybody up, with her plan to turn all of Coney Island into bat-creatures. Bat-Harley sees her friends getting beat up and snaps out of it, defeating She-Bat.
Meanwhile, Red Tool, Eggy, Coach and Goat Boy have SOMEHOW gotten permission to take Kirk Langstrom out of Arkham Asylum ON THEIR OWN to search for Francine’s lab. They find it easily enough, with Tony still tied up. They have to fight off Bat-Tony for a bit until they can administer the antidote, and in the scuffle, Kirk grabs some Man-Bat serum and escapes.
Everybody meets back up on the boardwalk and they give Harley the antidote. But some time later, Harley is still feeling mopey about how nobody will leave her alone, so the hot dog guy suggests she just take off, which she does. Meanwhile, we find out that the Penguin is the one who set up Francine to go after Harley, and he’s got even more planned!
Comic Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good.
I liked this issue just fine, but there’s an overwhelming sense of Tieri…I dunno…trying really hard to match the voices/personalities of the supporting characters? The Gang of Harleys, who fell out of service in the main Harley series, but I think Tieri wrote more of in the side stuff, are constantly quipping and one-linering throughout the issue. And it’s fine, it just feels weird for whatever reason. Like these characters aren’t real people, they’re just quip-machines who have dedicated their lives to dressing up like multi-colored Harley Quinns for reasons that have zero impact on who they are or what they do. They’re not characters, they’re cartoons. But the comic and the art do not signify a cartoon.
Likewise, the story is a little silly. Francine Langstrom’s big evil plan is to just turn everybody into Man-Bats? How is that a plan? And the Penguin is not only setting up some big villainous campaign against Harley Quinn, but he’s literally sitting in his sinister office watching Harley’s allies on a view screen, monologuing to nobody in particular about how evil his plan in? While all of this made for an entertaining comic, the logic and the characters just don’t hold together very well. As if, rather than advance the story that came before, Tieri is just keeping the lights on.
And the art is pretty bad. Characters look wonky and misshapen, without a real solid baring on the page. I’m no good at criticizing art. It just doesn’t look like DC are putting their best people on Tieri’s Harley Quinn.
TL;DR: While still entertaining, the new Harley Quinn feels like a warmed over continuation of what came before than anything new and exciting.
The Silencer #1
Writer: Dan Abnett
Artist: John Romita Jr.
I’m not particularly interested in The Silencer when it comes to the new titles, but like I said above, there just weren’t many other comics this week.
Once upon a time, The Silencer (real name: Honor Guest) was a badass mercenary working for Talia al Ghul and Leviathan, with the power to create a noise-cancelling field around her. But she left that life behind, settled down with a husband, had a kid and now lives a perfectly nice life in the suburbs. But something has happened and her old life has come calling. First she has to take out a big hunk of cyborg assassin in a grocery story parking lot, then Talia pays the family a visit at their home in order to whisper warnings to her. Honor keeps insisting/demanding that Talia leave her alone, that she’s out of that life, but Talia warns that there are forces at work who won’t obey Honor’s wishes.
Sure enough, as Honor is driving Talia to the airport later that night, their car is attacked by two Leviathan mercs. They focus on Talia, so Honor slips into her old gear and takes them out.
Comic Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good.
This is a fine introduction to the new character and comic. I don’t think this premise is particularly new, but it might be in the world of superheroes? We’ve got so many armed and talented mercenaries, especially at DC Comics. Should be fun to meet a new one and see her dragged back into the life after settling down with a husband and kid. Honor doesn’t get any really specific personality in this first issue, other than annoyance at having her life thrust back into her, but I look forward to her character growing and deepening. She’s very protective of her life and is part of a very adorable family. Her powers are cool, too.
I don’t know what it is, but all of Romita’s recent work never looks right. Back in the day, the guy was king. His Amazing Spider-Man run is phenomenal. But all his recent work looks a little rushed and just a touch sloppy. Is it the inker? The colorist? I don’t know enough about art to know for sure. The art in this issue is fine and solid, but it’s not Romita’s best, which is disappointing.
TL;DR: The new series is of to an OK start, resting more on premise than on character. But it’s got good characters, too.
The comics I review in my Hench-Sized reviews are just the usual comics I pick up from my local shop any given week, along with a few impulse buys I might try on a whim. So if there are any comics or series you’d like me to review each week, let me know in the comments!

All-New Wolverine was great. Really powerful end to the arc.
Also, Phoenix Resurrection ended on a really strong note. The Jean/Scott scene was soooo good.
I liked the Jean/Scott scene, too. It was a little too brief for my tastes, but we’ll see what happens going forward. He obviously won’t stay dead forever.
When Scott does come back, I think I want him and Jean to remain separated. Make them friendly exes who will always love each other but who recognize that what they had is over.
I definitely agree. Though the way X-Men writers keep running back to Kitty/Colossus makes me think they’ll just pair Scott and Jean up again someday.

It was a great hunt. Six super trophies in eight hunting days. Everything from the small Livingstone’s Suni, to the large Cape Buffalo, and in between, a Red Duiker, Chobe Bushbuck, Baboon, with great teeth, and a magnificent Sable.
The most important things brought home for me were the memories.
Each morning, a pot of tea along with a platter of rusks was delivered to my tent at 5:00 a.m. The long hot and humid hikes in the forest areas following Buffalo, and only seeing small patches of the buffalo moving away. The split second my shot was made on my Buffalo and the way the trackers could follow nearly un-seen tracks. The time around the campfire, sharing stories with the professionals and regular hunters. The noise from the birds, animals and of course the insects. The colors, flashes of brilliance from the birds, and the soft green color sifted by the sunlight in the forest. These are the things that I will remember the most.
Join me as I share my experiences with you through the lens of my camera….
I lived an African Safari, the way Corbett, Ruark or Hunter did. I went back in time and lived a real African Safari.

On Monday, President Pranab Mukherjee announced the names of four new governors, following a series of quick resignations from various states across the nation. Here's a lowdown.
Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Ram Naik was on Monday appointed as governor of Uttar Pradesh and party's veteran Delhi leader O P Kohli will move to Gujarat, in the first appointment of five Governors by the Narendra Modi government.
According to a Rashtrapati Bhavan communique, Naik will take over in Uttar Pradesh after B L Joshi, perceived to be a close confidante of Gandhi family, was asked to tender his resignation. Joshi was the first governor who tendered his resignation after the Modi government came to power on June 17 this year.
A three-time parliamentarian, 80-year-old Naik has the rare distinction of being the only minister who completed five years as petroleum and natural gas minister in one government.
Hit by cancer, Naik was bedridden in 1994 but fought back resolutely and overcame the deadly disease. He had announced in 2013 that he would not be contesting the 2014 elections.
Balram Das Tandon
Balram Das Tandon, 87, founder member of Jan Sangh in 1951, was appointed governor of Chhatisgarh after Shekhar Dutt tendered his resignation on June 18 after he too was sounded by the Union home ministry.
Tandon was the deputy chief minister of Punjab in 1969 and later served as a cabinet minister in Parkash Singh Badal's government. A six time MLA, Tandon was critical of Badal government's decision in 2012 of providing free electricity to state farmers.
Keshari Nath Tripathi
According to the communique, Keshari Nath Tripathi, a former Uttar Pradesh Speaker will take over in West Bengal, a post which had fallen vacant after the resignation of M K Narayanan after he was nudged to resign.
A poet and author of books, Tripathi, who will turn 80 in November this year, was a five-time MLA and has written a few books like commentary on "The Representation of the People Act, 1951" and two poetic books in Hindi -- 'Manonukriti', 'Aayu Pankh'.
In his student life, he went to jail in connection with the Kashmir Movement.
Om Prakash Kohli
Seventy eight-year-old Kohli, who was a Rajya Sabha member from 1994 to 2000, takes over as governor in Gujarat after 87-year-old Kamla Beniwal was shifted to Mizoram by the government for remainder of her term till November this year.
A former chief of BJP's Delhi unit in 2009, Kohli has been associated with BJP since his student days and was president of its student wing -- Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad -- and later became chief of Delhi University Teacher Association.
Padmanabha Acharya, a member of working group on North East region of BJP and co-convener of Overseas Friends of BJP, was appointed governor of Nagaland after President Pranab Mukherjee accepted resignation of Tripura Governor Vakkom Purushothaman, who was also officiating as Nagaland governor.
The President asked Acharaya to perform the duties of Tripura governor until regular arrangements are made, the communique said.

European shares and the euro fell as the EU cut back its growth outlook, citing “substantial” risks from trade wars, a slowing Chinese economy, and the uncertainty of Brexit.
In its winter economic survey, the commission pared back forecasts for all the major European economies, as well as Ireland, and warned that some eurozone countries face their finances again being disrupted by weak banks.
The German economy will grow this year by 1.1%, down sharply from its previous autumn forecast, as faltering world growth weighs on exports; the French and UK economies will both grow by 1.3%; while the Italian economy, which fell into recession late last year, will grow 0.2%, “sizeably less than anticipated in the autumn forecast”, the EU said.
Growth in Ireland’s economy will slow to 4.1% this year and 3.7% in 2020, according to the new forecasts, but the outlook may still rest on “unpredictable” multinationals.
Uncertainty “relates primarily to the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU”, it said.
“As a highly open economy, Ireland is also particularly exposed to changes in the international taxation and trade environment. The huge impact of the often unpredictable activities of multinationals could drive headline growth either up or down,” the commission said.
Major stock market indices fell across Europe.
Germany’s Dax slid almost 2.4%, France’s Cac fell 1.5%, while London’s Ftse-100 was down by almost 1%.
In Ireland, shares in Bank of Ireland and Smurfit Kappa fell by around 5%. The euro fell to 87.54 pence.
The forecasts sent both European shares and the euro “sharply” lower, said Joshua Mahony at IG.
“The EU forecast of 1.4% inflation adds a second element to dictate a much more dovish expectation for future ECB decision-making in the year ahead,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned of the “fog of Brexit” as it predicted 1.2% growth this year.

Every rose has its thorn, and every love has its hardship, but sometimes, you gotta know when to call it quits. Good thing heartbreak makes for beautiful music.
Jauz taps into doomed romance on his bass-heavy house anthem “Meant To Love You.” It’s all dark rooms and neon lights on this hard-kick beat. Vocalist Rouxn’s soulful melody is perfect against the edgy tune. The whole thing has a very classic, ’90s dance floor feel, but of course, with plenty of hard, modern Jauz touches.
“Meant To Love You” is fat, gnarly and super groovalicious. The release is paired with an equally cool lyric video. It’s perfect for a late-night drive down the Las Vegas strip. It’s out now on Jauz’ Bite This! Dive in deep with the video below.

* TSX ends up 7.55 points, or 0.06 percent, at 12,296.72
* Index notched a 1.1 percent gain for the week
* Dundee jumps 13.7 pct on real estate spin-off plan
* Global data paints picture of uneven recovery
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The main Canadian stock index edged higher on Friday as healthy Chinese data provided a shot in the arm for mining companies, obscuring a broader decline as investors retreated over stalled U.S. budget talks.
China’s vast manufacturing sector expanded in December at its fastest pace in 14 months as new orders and employment rose, a survey showed on Friday.
“Materials did well; financials, oil and gas, just about everything else was off,” said Pat McHugh, Canadian equity strategist at Manulife Asset Management, crediting the Chinese data with boosting the materials sector, which includes miners.
Evidence that China’s speedy growth trajectory is getting back on track is typically positive for Canada, which provides the giant Asian economy with raw materials.
Fertilizer company Potash Corp gained 1.1 percent to C$40.44 and Teck Resources Ltd rose 2.1 percent to C$35.28. Suncor Energy Inc, Canada’s biggest energy company, added 1.4 percent to C$32.12, making it the most positive influence on the index.
The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index ended up 7.55 points, or 0.06 percent, at 12,296.72. It notched a 1.1 percent gain for the week.
Dundee Corp shares jumped 13.7 percent to C$30.47 after the asset manager said it would spin off its real estate assets.
“It’s clearly a nice way to unlock value and I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of that,” McHugh said of the deal.
Balanced against the broad rise in miners, most other sectors recorded net losses, with energy companies weighing most heavily, even with Suncor’s gains.
Encana Corp lost 4.3 percent to C$19.96, falling back after rising on Thursday with the announcement of a joint venture with PetroChina Co Ltd.
Canadian resource stocks had a mixed reaction this week to Ottawa’s approval of two big deals and the clarification of its stance on state-owned enterprise investment in the oil sands.
“It just reinforces that this business is capital intensive and the ones with the capital are the Chinese,” said John Ing, president of Maison Placements Canada. “We’re going to see more of it, so it’s good that we didn’t put up higher barriers to them.”
A slew of global data provided an uneven picture of economic recovery and stagnation, with Europe seemingly stuck in a low-growth mode and China and the United States showing signs of recovery.
“The one that people seem to be missing is the uptick in some of the Chinese growth numbers,” Ing said, adding that much attention was still focused on negotiations to solve a looming U.S. budget crisis.
President Barack Obama and House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner held a “frank” face-to-face meeting on Thursday in an effort to break an impasse in talks to avert the “fiscal cliff” of steep tax increases and spending cuts, which kick in early in 2013.
Frustration is mounting over the lack of progress in negotiations that have become bogged down in a daily round of finger-pointing. If a deal is not reached, many economists believe the U.S. economy will fall back into recession, which would hurt Canadian businesses that sell into the world’s largest economy.
Canadian manufacturing sales plunged by 1.4 percent in October from September in the latest sign the economy is struggling to cope with market problems abroad and due to the effect of a strong Canadian dollar.
The domestic data was at odds with numbers from the United States that showed demand picking up.
In Europe, disappointing German manufacturing sector data and a rise in euro zone unemployment overshadowed a small pick-up in wider purchasing manager data.

GEORGETOWN (AP) - A 4-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother have drowned in a lake north of Austin.
Williamson County authorities were called late Sunday afternoon to Lake Georgetown where witnesses say the children had been playing in water 2 to 3 feet deep and about 15 feet off the shoreline when they went under.
Police say the girl was recovered about five minutes after disappearing. Her brother was found about 15 minutes later.
The two were taken by helicopter to a hospital but could not be revived.
Names of the victims have not been immediately released. Georgetown police are investigating.

I have written a very CPU intensive threaded task that works as expected on my 2012 MacBook Pro quad core. I turn it loose with 20 threads and the temperatures get up to about 100 °C as measured with Intel Power Gadget with minimal throttling.
Take the same program and data files home to my 2016 13" MacBook Pro with a dual core machine and start it up, I would expect that it would also keep up the 3.3-3.4 GHz until the temperature gets near the 100 °C mark. Top command shows the task at 350% (2 cores each dual threaded), but the CPU frequency gets cut to 1.6-1-8 GHz with the temperature only at 60 °C or so with the fans dead quiet. If I start 4 separate single threaded CPU tasks, the machine behaves as expected with it keeping up the 3.3-3.4 GHz until it hits the 100 °C and the fans get cranking. The question is why is my CPU being throttled?
Both machines are up to date and running the same versions of gcc. If I even take the binary from the working machine and put it on the 2016 Mac, it has the same problem.
If I run 3 or 4 CPU single threads so the machine is going at full speed, then start the threaded program, it slows the frequency down also.
Both machines have 16 GB of RAM.
After playing around with code, I suspect that it is getting throttled when a task creates too many threads. In this program, I take each record I read and create a thread for it. I only let 20 or so threads go at a time so at no time is there more than 21 threads, but there are 14,400,000 records to be processed so over the 30 minutes or so each of those records will be processed by a separate thread.
I created a trivial pthread program that sucked CPU time and set 10 of them running. The problem laptop ran that and warmed up to 95C without issues.
I guess I will rewrite my code to reuse the same thread instead of destroying them and starting them up again.
After several hours of work, it now only creates n threads and just reuses them, that didn't help. Other than CPU temperature, what will cause this machine to throttle down?

Biometrics is the use of a physical characteristic—such as fingerprints, retina or iris prints, palm prints, etc.—to identify a person and control access to a system, whether it is a building, car, computer or home. Biometrics is ideal for a home security system because there are no passwords or codes to remember. In addition, the physical characteristics used are constant (do not change over time) and are difficult to fake or alter.
Historically, biometrics have been used to control access in government and corporate settings, but as costs come down, many homeowners are choosing biometrics to replace standard locks. As a result of the market penetration, the biometric technology marketplace is projected to be an $11 billion industry by 2015.
When integrated into a security application, a database is kept that records a person’s unique biometric identifiers and then, at a later time, allows the database to authenticate users by recognizing a biometric match, said Chris Stubstad, founder and president of Avid Biometrics, Scottsdale, Ariz.
To create the database, the system scans the chosen physical characteristic, and then, based on a pattern of lines, it makes and stores a mathematical formula that represents that pattern.
“In residential applications, biometrics is primarily seen in access control products, including traditional door locks, magnetic strip-based doors, and in security safes,” he said.
The key advantages to homeowners are convenience and reassurance.
“It’s a great feeling to know that you’ll never be locked out of your house again, that you can control who has access to the various parts of your home and when, and that your home is not open to anyone who has a key,” Stubstad said.
A major challenge for the homeowner who desires this level of security, however, is that there are not enough products on the market that are truly turnkey solutions.
Another obstacle for residential use is cost. Biometric door locks are more expensive than typical locks.
“They can also seem more complicated, although acceptance should grow as electronic devices become increasingly present in people’s lives,” said Todd Morris, CEO, Brickhouse Security, New York.
The biometric products that are required for a complete residential solution include door locks, scanners, Ethernet for control and communication, a dedicated computer, and a secure network infrastructure with a firewall for nonhackable communication between door panels and control software. Since buzzer or magnetic locks, biometric scanners, computers, and communication networks all require electricity, biometric home security systems are an excellent opportunity for contractors to offer homeowners a more complete security system, Morris said.
“Biometrics is becoming more common in high-end homes and another component of the security system for contractors to wire,” he said.
Biometric components are mostly not integrated with the rest of the home’s security system. Therefore, if the alarm system ceases to work, the access control system still operates.
“Biometric systems might share the same dedicated computer if the access control system is also recording video. While not necessarily considered integrated, they are sharing a single resource and secured, single Ethernet network,” Morris said.
Biometric systems, however, are generally integrated with other home systems, such as home automation, to enable remote control of biometric access if changes need to be made.
Take the lead
Stubstad advises contractors to continue to keep up with advances in biometrics and to learn about the already-popular products on the market, since it is only a matter of time before the technology is readily available and accessible.
To be ready, read the manuals and specs and learn how to integrate biometric access control with current electronic locking technologies.
“Biometrics may be in its infancy in the U.S., but the demand is expected to grow exponentially as consumers begin to adapt to the technology and feel comfortable using it,” he said.
Morris said contractors need to know that biometric technology is not that complicated.
“There are two pieces that the contractor is concerned with: the actual wiring for the power and Ethernet systems and programming network security and firewalls,” he said.
The latter issue can be solved by partnering with an IT expert or by hiring IT personnel.
The biometric market is an incremental upsell for the electrical contractor that is already running Ethernet through a home. Other opportunities will abound as the home construction and retrofit markets pick up again and as high-end homes require more upscale and sophisticated security, audio and audio/video systems.

End Time Revelationsby Meshack Dahl->->->->DOWNLOAD BOOK End Time RevelationsREAD BOOK End Time Revelations This is a thought-gripping account of the end time as recounted by the man of God Meshack Dahl, who had a revelation of the end time through the power of the holy Ghost and decides to publish his revelations so that people may come to see that in truth, the end time is near. In this thought provoking book, ’End Time Revelations’ we have here an account of the anti-Christ and where it would come from and the name of the anti-Christ– which he gave as Apidum. The book recounts in great detail how and why the devil– Lucifer would send his son to come into this world to lure people into his kingdom, to gather disciples for him. The book also gives hope to the faithful, who would after the persecutions inherit the promises of God, but before then, the book describes the tribulations to come.

My name is Lee Kenny and in 2009 I set up Guitar School Northampton. Prior to this I’d played guitar from the age of 9 and spent much of my teens playing in local bands. In 2003 I was awarded a HND in Music Production through University College Northampton and in 2006 I was awarded a BA in Popular Music & Music Technology through The University of Derby. Around 2004, during my time at Derby University, I started teaching students at their homes and later from the music store PMT Northampton.
After 4 years of building a strong student base in the Northampton area it was clear to me that there was not only high demand for quality, professional and friendly guitar lessons, but many students wanted a place where they could be away from the distractions of home life when learning their instrument and an environment where they could meet and play music with like minded peers.
Here at Guitar School Northampton we have fully equipped teaching studios, qualified and friendly teachers, 13 years experience of delivering one 2 one tuition, 100% pass rate with RGT@LCM exams up to grade 8 and a thriving community of musicians which is best illustrated in the band workshops that we run for our younger students.

The buffet has many pork and bread options for breakfast and have custom egg stations. The hotel is still undergoing some renovations ( none that interfere with your stay though) The only nightlife is in the main lobby bar which consists of karaoke or a soloist. Most often, resorts do not carry non-alcoholic beer.The Grill which is the lunch restaurant by the ocean was a bit slower than the other restaurants so we only ate there once. However, for beverages available/included in the all-inclusive, please contact the resort directly as this is at their discretion and based upon availability. There was a pool that I assume belonged to the resort but was by an area under construction and no one was using it.she made sure we had a handicapped room in a great location. All drinks are included with only top-shelf liquors and bottles of wine being extra.depen what suit you booked..
Adding an elevator at the center of the lobby would have been a great help. contacted the resort before we arrived and spoke with Ana Jorge. they are included in the upgraded rooms according to some folks we met at spa. You can get wine or beer at any bar as part of the package too.
platimum there are tequila & vodka on the table but no wines.
you can get it at pool resort does not specifically state that it offers beach volleyball on property.
Highlights: -Perfect accommodations for 4 days/ 3 nights -Small hotel on the quiet side of Cabo, so you will not be attested by people trying to sell you things on the beach - The lobby bar is great and if you request by name the top shelf drinks you want they will pull from the back those bottles -The adult pool is nice and away from the large pool for families - The guacamole is great - The house champagne is sweet and taste much better than expected EVERYTHING WENT PERFECT! THEY STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOU TILL YOUR TRIP IS OVER, AND THE KRYSTAL GRAND WAS A PERFECT PLACE TO STAY!!! BEYOND PLEASED IN EVERY BIT OF THE TRIP AND BOOKING!! That might be for adults but it's really not clear.
THE ROOMS, THE SERVICE , THE FOOD, YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE! If you want to get away from all the kids, it would probably be a good place to go. Our rooms were right across from one of the most use & I never saw anyone cleaning it.

'˜We will never judge rough sleepers, we just check on them and make sure they're okay' Mansfield Outreach workers head out to help the homeless
It's five o'clock on a dark, windy September morning, and two women are wrapped up warm to look for rough sleepers in Mansfield town Centre.
Armed with torches, the outreach workers want to earn the trust of rough sleepers who may not want to accept help through shame, pride, or being set in their ways.It can take a warm coffee, some kind words, or just letting a rough sleeper know someone is looking out for them to build up that trust. The street outreach team is designed to offer a lifeline to those in the most desperate need.Collette Acton, team leader of the Framework outreach workers, who are based at the day centre on Sherwood Street says: “Sometimes there is peer pressure not to engage with us. If someone doesn’t want to be found, they won’t want the community around them to come forward.“A lot of rough sleepers have been living that way for a long time and they’re not all ready to engage.”The first thing the team do is call in to the CCTV control room run by Mansfield District Council, who alert them to where rough sleepers have spent the night, and follow the workers on camera for their safety.Armed with the knowledge of where rough sleepers are, Collette and outreach worker Megan Hudson head into the town.Collette said: “There’s this image of rough sleepers sleeping in shop doorways, but that’s not usually the case. “Rough sleepers often don’t want to be found. We look for little clues that someone has been staying in an area.”Because it takes a long time to build-up trust with rough sleepers, the outreach service do not want to publish details of their locations, in case they refuse to co-operate in the future, and the trust is destroyed. Bedding stashed under a bush and a pint of milk half finished on top of some railings are signs, Collette says, which indicate someone has been staying there recently. She says: “This will be put as a location to keep checking regularly, now we’ve seen signs that somebody is around.”Collette and her team regularly report back to Mansfield District Council about how many rough sleepers there are at any time, so the council is aware of the scale of the problem. She says: “If someone has been let down before, there is a lack of trust and they won’t want to engage with services. “It’s important we come out and earn their trust.“We never judge anyone for not wanting to engage, we just check on them and make sure they’re okay.”Rough sleepers often do not want to be found, so they take to areas out of the public’s eye, such as in loading bays or even bins. Collette says: “Rough sleepers are prone to abuse if they are in doorways or on benches. They have been assaulted, attacked and even urinated on.”The outreach workers make sure to check the large metal bins used by businesses, as there have been incidents of rough sleepers seeking shelter in them, which can be incredibly dangerous if waste disposal come to empty the bins, unaware someone is in them. It is not long before the team come across a lone man, wrapped up in a sleeping bag under a bush on a patch of grass. His English is limited, but Megan arranges to meet him later on in the day with an interpreting service to get him the help he needs. As well as going out to look for rough sleepers, the outreach workers take referrals from the public. Collette says: “We advise any member of the public who has seen someone sleeping out, or is concerned to give us a call.”The street outreach team have been working across the county for 18 months, and are partly self funded, and partly financed from central government.The day centre on Sherwood Street has 15 beds for rough sleepers who need emergency accomadation.The team come to a boarded-up house being used as a squat.Collette says: “With the squats it’s really dangerous for us to go in. My concern is what if something happens in that squat? “There are people living in there, they are human lives. “What we do with squats is report them to the fire brigade and raise a concern that there is a risk to life. “If the building does go on fire, the fire brigade will be alerted there may be people in there.”“Even just finding one rough sleeper is one too many – nobody should be having to rough sleep at all.”Some people who find themselves on the street will take the utmost care to ensure they are not found. Megan has been working hard to build trust with one man who is sleeping rough in a tent in a field, far away from prying eyes. The man, who does not want to be identified, found himself homeless 10 months ago after his universal credit, which replaced six other benefits, was paid late, and he was left unable to pay rent. He says; “It’s horrible having to live day by day. If it wasn’t for the outreach team I wouldn’t be getting any help getting back on my feet.“We get tarred with the same brush as the mamba-heads in town. “I can’t wait to get back to normal life again – I’ll be campaigning for homeless rights when I’m sorted.”He will soon be moving into accommodation with Framework’s help.Collette says homelessness is a complex, many layered problem and people who find themselves on the streets often have other issues that go hand-in-hand, such as former legal high spice, otherwise known as mamba. She says: “One of the difficulties is the rise in use of mamba. You can’t get away from it, it is a massive issue,it’s very much the issue of the moment across the country. “However, mamba is one layer of the complexity.“It’s something they use and become addicted to, and when you speak to them when they’re lucid, they hate it. Many rough sleepers have told us they regret using it because it is so addictive. “One alleyway in Mansfield had 10 rough sleepers last winter.Collette says: “It’ a health risk when there are that many that congregate, as you’ve only to to have one fall unwell and then they’re all sick – we see high hospital admission rates all throught the year.“We see poor mental and physical health in rough sleepers.“As part of our team there is a nurse specialist, who gets involved in our more complex cases and will come out and see people who are poorly.“Often, rough sleepers won’t want to see a doctor, even if they are really poorly. “There is a fear of how they’ll be treated, as it’s hard for them to keep up their hygiene.”“There’s an awful lot of shame among rough sleepers.”
Framework take referrals from the public if they see signs of rough sleepers, or even from people at risk of being made homeless or are already homeless. Call the 24-hour hotline on: 08000 665 356, or email [email protected] then helps them to get back on their feet, by: Finding safe and secure accommodation; Finding treatment for underlying drug, alcohol and mental health problems; Providing secure access to medical help; Helping people to re-engage with estranged family members; Helping people return to their home region or home country; Help with claiming whatever benefits they may be entitled to . However, it is not as simple at putting a former rough sleeper in a house and thinking their work is over.Collette says: “To just put them within four walls is asking them to give up what they know and move from their community. There is often a lack of life skills and many feel overwhelmed.“A lot have been failed from the start, There’s a high correlation of rough sleepers that have been in the care system or prison.”“Some people give up hope. I never, ever think someone can’t be helped. I’m realistic, and know it will be hard for some people, but if they’ve given up on themselves and we give up, what kind of message does that give out to them?”

From the vintage three-piece suits and flapper dresses of Dapper Day to the whimsical Doctor Who-inspired Galliday, the Disney Parks play host to no shortage of delightful, albeit unsanctioned events throughout the year. Guests looking to show off their retro Goodwill finds will find plenty of photoshoot opportunities during the bi-annual Dapper Day, while those who prefer to sport goth, steampunk and rockabilly attire were encouraged to do so during the now-obsolete Bats Day. Still others congregate at the parks to celebrate everything from Doctor Who to rave culture and, uh, conga lines.
Then there’s Gay Days, a multi-day celebration of the diverse and inclusive LGBTQ+ community. It also happens to be one of the most popular and well-attended events at both Disneyland Walt Disney World from year to year, though Disney has yet to officially attach its name to the gathering. Attendees are invited to don bright red shirts in order to easily identify each other (and demonstrate what is often a substantial turnout), while the parks supply a plethora of rainbow sugar cookies, candy apples, mugs, antenna toppers, pins, and Mickey ear hats to commemorate the occasion.
Recently, Disney debuted exclusive “Mickey Mouse Rainbow Love” ear hats and sequined rainbow Minnie ears—all intended to capitalize on a celebration they’ve yet to claim as their own. Still, it’s another step forward for a company that once went so far as to physically remove same-sex couples from their parks.
Before the celebration kicks off this spring, let’s take a look back at the history of Gay Days: where and why it originated, Disney’s initial reaction to the gathering, and the changes that have rippled throughout the company as a result. We’ll even go over a few tips to help you make the most of the event.
The Greater Los Angeles Restaurant and Bar Association that started it all
Thirteen years before the first official Gay Days event was launched in 1991, a group of LGBTQ+ business owners decided to rent out Disneyland for the day. They knew the company wouldn’t look favorably on a group of non-heterosexual guests taking over the park, even for a few hours, so they dubbed themselves the “Greater Los Angeles Restaurant and Bar Association” in order to make the reservation. The plan went off without a hitch—that is, until a week prior to the event, when Disney inevitably discovered the purpose behind the event (or, rather, the people behind the event, as there was no ulterior motive other than having fun) and started to panic. While the park couldn’t shut down the gathering, they did everything in their power to contain it: increasing security within the gates, canceling scheduled entertainment, and monitoring Disneyland’s dance floors for the slightest interaction between same-sex couples.
For a while, that was the last company-sanctioned LGBTQ+ event Disney permitted on its property, even as the parks became entangled in multiple civil rights lawsuits brought on by its guests. In one of the most famous cases to come to light, 19-year-old activist Andrew Exler (known today as “Crusader”) decided to take action after his female roommate was asked to stop dancing with another woman. He brought a male friend to the park’s late-night celebration and danced with him while the security guards changed their posts. It didn’t take long for the park to notice the couple or remove them from the area, at which point Exler filed suit against Disney on the basis of discrimination. Despite Disney’s protests that an LGBTQ-friendly policy would go against Walt Disney’s wishes or compromise the safety of guests by angering homophobic international visitors and members of the military, the jury almost unanimously sided with Exler. By 1987, the park adopted both written and unwritten policies to prevent similar discriminatory practices from taking place again.
Gay Days comes to Walt Disney World
The event we know today as “Gay Days” did not start on the West Coast, however, but in Orlando, Fla., during the summer of 1991. Local resident Doug Swallow was organizing get-togethers with his friends on the online bulletin board service Compu-Who? when he first came up with the idea of a day at Disney. There would be no political protests, no sign-waving or demonstrations staged among the roller coasters and costumed characters of Florida’s family-friendly park. “I was just wanting to see something done for fun,” he said.
With the assistance of local media and press, Swallow’s informal gathering soon began to snowball into a massive event. He selected a weekend in June, when the park was likely to be less crowded than usual, and encouraged attendees to wear red to identify each other—as it was easy to pick out in a crowd and safe for those who weren’t yet comfortable or willing to sport rainbow colors (a clear marker of LGBTQ+ identity). According to various reports, somewhere between 500 and 3,000 participants congregated at the Magic Kingdom for the first official Gay Day on June 1, 1991, a number that would only continue to expand with each subsequent anniversary.

Thank you to everyone that tuned in over the weekend for Sofasonic Festival, as part of our extended Sofasonic celebrations we’re releasing an array of playlists on Spotify that have been carefully curated by artists & friends of the festival for your listening pleasure.
Sofasonic Playlists: Radwan Moumneh | Mark Titchner | QUEEF | Gazelle Twin | Matt Ridout | Khyam Allami | Molly & Mabel | Decolonise Fest | Rocket Recordings | Mike Nelson | Faten Kanaan | Iggor Cavalera | Valentina Magaletti | Sex Swing | Mariano Sarine | Sofa King | Ben Sadler |
This week’s playlist comes from in-house! As these blog posts are written by our Programme Assistant, Rosie Tee, it makes more sense that Rosie doesn’t refer to herself in third person for this one… *switches it up*
Hello folks! I’m Rosie, Programme Assistant and proud member of the Capsule/Supersonic supergroup. I work behind the scenes as artist liaison, on all things marketing, and general daily do’s! You may have heard my brummie-twanged voice on recent Supersonic Podcasts or as the live commentator for our online Sofasonic Festival back in July.
Whilst in lockdown my role at Supersonic has adapted a lot, but it’s been a cracking good learning curve. Re-shaping and re-imagining our programme online has resulted in many new skills learned, but that being said, I can’t wait to return to the heavy rumbles and tired festival feet (all with samosa in hand!)
This Sofasonic Playlist has been lovingly crafted by myself, and oh lady, it was hard to whittle it down to 20 tracks. It’s a healthy mix of some of my favourite artists from Supersonic line-ups (Hen Ogledd, Klein, Lankum, Gazelle Twin), some offerings from Birmingham (Dorcha, Broadcast), alongside some new (old) discoveries of mine whilst in lockdown (Stereolab, Sun Ra, Arthur Russell) and artists I’ve seen live that have left a deep old imprint somewhere on my musical soul (Dirty Projectors, Simian Mobile Disco & Deep Throat Choir, Anna Meredith, Tunng).
I hope you enjoy my selections – take a listen…
As a musician myself, this eclectic mix of tracks all inspire my own writing for my band, Rosie Tee – a four-piece making jazz-tinged, synth-pop where I whack a glockenspiel (as per image above). My ear always tends to lean towards more minimal song structures, so this is definitely a common link between each track in the playlist and my own songwriting. But of course, in true Supersonic-ethos, I’m a big fan of the unclassifiable and you’ll sure find that here!
It’s been a strange mix of seeing some incredible creativity sprout out of this year (despite everything) and seeing others retreat and rest a while from music-making. I’ve been the latter, but now starting to get into rehearsing, writing and I hope in the near future – gigging.

‘It was about trust’ - Practitioners as policy makers and the improvement of inter-professional communication within the 1980s youth justice process
Legal Studies, 32, (1), . (doi:10.1111/j.1748-121X.2011.00209.x).
Full text not available from this repository.
The study of criminal justice policy making is generally approached from the perspective of structural variables (e.g. social, cultural or economic), or, if inclined towards agency-led approaches, on the policy-making activities of ‘elites’. The potential of practitioners to shape policy has been relatively neglected. This paper explores a striking example of practitioner-led criminal justice policy transformation: the decline in the use of custody for juveniles in England and Wales in the 1980s. The focus of the study is on the communicative origins of a philosophical turnaround in youth justice localities through the empowerment of youth justice practitioners. Drawing on empirical sources (including reflective interviews with key participant-observers) the paper explores, in depth, the occurrence and the meaning of local structural transformations. It is argued that the emergence of trust relations between participants in local youth justice processes was the key development behind the transformation of the state of penal culture towards one of ‘communicative rationality’ which, in turn, enabled the dramatic reduction in the use of custody. It is suggested that proponents of more moderate penal policy could draw valuable lessons from this episode.

- Midway returns to their hit football game with NFL BLITZ 2000 for the Dreamcast. The game is an upgrade from the arcade version of NFL BLITZ ‘99. There are numerous additions that make the game more exciting: you can play with up to four players: two on defense, two on offense. You can also write your own plays and use them later on. The game is like a normal football game, but with much more speed and far fewer rules. The result is a fun (if unrealistic) look at the NFL. Every team is faithfully represented, as are the players. This new version adds an On Fire mode, which allows players that have caught three consecutive passes to gain a special unlimited Turbo feature. This lets the player run much faster than normal and gives the player a distinct advantage. Anyone who likes to recreate games with their favorite teams but doesn't like the rules that slow down gameplay, NFL BLITZ 2000 is the perfect solution!
