G&D will be presenting its new solution for flexible and reliable IT access in ATC control rooms at Airspace World in Geneva.
From 19-21 March, KVM manufacturer Guntermann & Drunck GmbH will be showcasing its broad range of KVM solutions at booth L39 at the Palexpo Centre, Geneva. The company not only offers an extensive portfolio for ANSPs, but also premieres the DynamicWorkplace-CON, which aims to improve the experience of air traffic controllers in the future.
KVM systems have become firmly established in IT infrastructures of ATC applications. Whether in a tower, a remote tower, or an air traffic control center – KVM solutions from G&D offer flexible IT access, comprehensive redundancy concepts, reliability and contribute to increased cyber security. The systems extend and distribute computer signals, enabling latency-free, high-quality video transmission and allowing the operation of remote sources. The computers can still be controlled in real time from the control room, the air traffic control center, or the remote tower. KVM has become indispensable, particularly in mission-critical environments such as airspace surveillance. G&D’s solutions optimise the IT infrastructure in these sectors and create optimal working conditions for both air traffic controllers and technicians.
Cleared for takeoff: G&D introduces its DynamicWorkplace-CON
One of the challenges in air traffic control is managing different sources of information such as radar images, weather data and flight information on several screens. By introducing a new workplace module (CON), this difficulty is elegantly solved. G&D is keeping up with the trend towards multi-viewing consoles in ATC control rooms and is presenting its latest product for the first time at Airspace World in Geneva: the DynamicWorkplace-CON. The product makes it possible to display all relevant information on one or more high-resolution monitors. This integration leads to a significant reduction in the physical workload of air traffic controllers and at the same time improves reaction times for critical decisions.
The CON module’s multi-viewing function enables the simultaneous operation of up to eight computer sources on up to four monitors. The seamless integration into existing G&D matrix systems is specifically designed for deployment in demanding environments such as air traffic control centers. The DynamicWorkplace-CON allows the consolidation of several CON modules and the associated monitors, resulting in an efficient, organised and therefore uncomplicated working environment. This innovation ensures that the KVM installation is particularly user-friendly. Users can adjust the arrangement of individual computer signals in real time, providing unprecedented flexibility and control. The new product’s window manager enables intuitive operation by allowing the free positioning and management of individual windows. It is also possible to arrange monitors as desired and move windows across monitor borders.
The brilliant image quality and unlimited flexibility in the arrangement of sources add significant value by allowing active work and monitoring areas to be ergonomically designed on larger screens. Up to four monitors with an impressive resolution of up to 4K @ 60Hz can be used simultaneously via the DynamicWorkplace-CON, ensuring superior visual performance for demanding applications. The console device is characterised by the integration of the proven, lossless compression technology bluedec™, which guarantees an authentic, pixel-perfect video experience. In addition, audio signals, serial signals and USB devices from any source can be individually assigned and used.
DynamicWorkplace-CON provides air traffic controllers with an ergonomic view of all critical data without having to look away from the central control point. This leads to a significant increase in efficiency and safety in the control rooms. The German KVM pioneer G&D is thus setting new standards, as the reduction in the number of monitors in the workplace, combined with the improved display and handling of information, represents a major step towards more modern, safer, and more efficient air traffic control.
KVM solutions for mission-critical applications
Thanks to long-standing partnerships with air traffic management organisations worldwide, the German manufacturer is well-positioned in the market and presents an extensive range of classic, uncompressed 4K-capable KVM products tailored specifically to the requirements of ANSPs. One outstanding example is the DP1.2-MUX3-ATC, a powerful KVM switch that enables ATCOs to control up to three computers from one workplace. This system’s InstantSwitching technology enables fast switching operations, ensuring a seamless transition between primary and fallback systems. With extensive expertise in building KVM infrastructures for mission-critical applications, the company offers bespoke solutions. Interested ANSPs and integrators will have the opportunity to receive individual advice at Airspace World from March 19 to 21, 2024 at booth L39 and experience live how G&D is contributing to designing the future of air traffic control. Interested readers can find more information about G&D’s KVM solutions at www.gdsys.com.

his 99th year, passed away in Erickson Hospital with his family at his side. That fall, Karly moved to Townview Manor in Minnedosa. At this time, she has taken up resi dence in the Minnedosa Personal Care Home. In her 89th year, she still enjoys visits from her Home Care "Girls", Pastor Lanny Knutson from Erickson Lutheran Church, her new friends at Townview, and her family. She entertains her family with stories of her youth in Norway, her immi gration to Canada in 1930 with her sister Esther, husband John, and their four boys, her courtship with Olav and their marriage in 1933. Her memory is sharp and the whole family enjoys hearing about the two little blond-haired boys, Ken and Harold, and their growing up years in the village of Erickson.
In the latter part of the 80's, Kenneth Gilleshammer, the older son of Olav and Karly, continued to work for the Bank of Nova Scotia in Winnipeg. He had now moved into commercial banking at the main branch in downtown Winnipeg. Ken's wife Patricia was also working with Scotia Bank. In July of 1996, Ken was appointed Manager of the main branch in Brandon, MB. July 2, 1999 marked Ken's fortieth anniversary with the bank. He started his banking career at this same location. Ken is pleased to have a number of people from Erickson doing their bank ing with him now and they, of course, receive very special treatment.
Their son Brian graduated from the Faculty of Commerce at the University of Manitoba in 1993 and went on to a career in commercial real estate. He married Cheryl Clarke in 1995, and they reside in Winnipeg with their daughter, Laura. Laura was born in 1998, making her Karly's first great grandchild. A second baby is due in September 2000. The family has a golden lab named Fraser whose escapades would necessitate a complete book of his own.
Ken and Pat's daughter, Janet, graduated from the Faculty of Arts in 1994 from the U of M. She spent a year of studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Then she moved out west to British Columbia where she worked as an alpine ski instructor before starting a career in the Film and Television industry (working behind the scenes). Though she will travel to various parts of Asia in the Year 2000 to live and work, Janet considers BC her home.
Their youngest son, Allen, attended the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Arts. He moved to Brandon in 1999 and worked for Paul Crane Construction. Allen is presently attending Red River Community College special izing in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. He dedicates a lot of his time to intramural hockey in winter and golf is his preferred summer sport, much like his dad.
Harold and Diana continue to live in Minnedosa.
Harold remained Principal of Minnedosa Collegiate until 1988. In April of 1988, Harold entered provincial politics as the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba
for Minnedosa Constituency and as a member of the new Progressive Conservative Government. He has been re elected in 1990, 1995, and 1999. During these years, Harold has held a number of portfolios: Minister of Family Services (1990-93); Minister of Culture, Heritage, and Citizenship (1993-97); Minister of Labour (1997-99), and for most of 1999, Harold was Minister of Finance. He had the privi lege of working with a number of mayors, reeves and their councils, as well as community groups in Erickson and the RM of Clanwilliam to bring about community improve ments. Among these were infrastructure renewal, renovating and upgrading community places and the build ing of a new Hospital and Care Home in Erickson. In September of 1999, there was a change of government, and Harold is currently serving as the Deputy Leader of the PC Party of Manitoba.
In the mid 1980's, Diana purchased a giftware busi ness in Clear Lake. She renamed it "Diana's Creative Arts" and as the name indicates, her quaint little store featured artwork and crafts made by Manitoba artisans, as well as a selection of books and cards. She operated the store for nine years with the assistance of many fine employees, including daughters Susan and Barbra. Diana presently works as a Resource Coordinator for Minnedosa Senior Services - a position she greatly enjoys.
Susan and Barbra both graduated from Minnedosa Collegiate. Susan obtained her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba and then spent a year at St. Anne's University in Nova Scotia in French Immersion. She worked a number of years for Riding Mountain National Park and then in Winnipeg in the area of Child and Family Services. In the fall of 1997, Susan left for Asia and the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. There, she is employed by Kaohsiung American School teaching English to Taiwanese children in the public school system. In Taiwan, Susan met and married Shawn Berg from Minneapolis, Minnesota. In August 2000, Susan and Shawn will have their North American wedding at Danvers Lutheran Church.
Barbra is currently attending Brandon University and will graduate in May of2000 with a Bachelor of Teaching Degree. Since her high school graduation in 1999, Barbra has divided her time between work, education and travel. In addition to completing her 2nd degree and looking forward to teaching, Barbra has traveled extensively. She spent one year in Denmark following high school. On her way to an Arts Degree at the U of Manitoba, she found time to spend a year in the Rockies working at Chateau Lake Louise, followed by a year in Australia and then a year in Kaohsiung, Taiwan teaching English with her sister. Barbra hopes to find a teaching job in the primary grades.
The Gilleshammer and Mosti families in Norway knew so well that parents give their children two things: one is roots and the other is wings. Ken and Harold and their families are proud of their heritage and their years in

(CNN)Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a rising Democratic star who was seriously considering challenging Republican Sen. Marco Rubio next year for his seat, announced Monday that she will forgo a Senate run and instead will seek reelection to her seat in the House.
Murphy’s decision comes shortly after fellow Florida Democrat Rep. Val Demings announced she was considering a run for the seat. Murphy passing on a Senate run avoids setting up a potentially brutal primary ahead of what will be an expensive and difficult general election match up against Rubio.
In a video statement announcing her plans, Murphy left open the option of running for statewide office in Florida in the future and promised to help Florida Democrats regain statewide electoral success. Florida Republicans have dominated statewide races for more than a decade. The last time a Democrat won a Senate seat in Florida was in 2012.
“We’ve had too many close losses in Florida, and so I wanted to use my experience from winning tough races to help the party prepare itself,” Murphy said in the video in which she called out both Rubio and Republican Sen. Rick Scott who’s up for reelection in 2024. “At the same time, I have been seriously considering a run for the US Senate in either 2022 or 2024. I am deeply disappointed by our current rep

Squid Game (오징어 게임) is a Korean TV show that has hit the top charts on Netflix and is now making its way onto Roblox as a novel game mode. Players are scrambling to participate in the Squid Game mode as reenacting the deadly risk-reward show is undoubtedly bound to be a thrilling experience. However, joining the unique game mode is easier said than done. While players can possibly create their own Squid Game on Roblox, joining the unofficial yet prominent one is rather unnecessarily tricky. Read on to learn how to how to start (or join) Squid Game in Roblox.
How to Start Squid Game in Roblox
To start Squid Game in Roblox, players must access the game through an invite by an active admin or host in the server. Previously, these links were provided on the official Squid Game Discord; however, players who can’t access the server will need different means (personal connection or forum) to retrieve a link.
Alternatively, players can play similar Squid Game modes such as Red Light, Green Light (EPISODE 1) or Squid Game. Those who are able to join the established Squid Game on Roblox will need to wait up to hours at a time for an admin to begin a game, so it’s recommended to play related Roblox games for the time being until the official Discord and game modes are more organized.
Like the Korean TV show, the Squid Game game mode features Guards, teams of people assigned to keep order during the games. They are to kill contestants on sight who disobey the rules or cause trouble. Earlier, fans were able to apply to become Guards for the (official) Roblox game mode, but the application period has now ended for the time being.
Roblox is available on PC, Android, Xbox One, and iOS.

text: The hopelessly insecure aspiring songwriters of the world could conceivably create giant mounds of waste paper because they search for an ideal lyrical phrase. This picture is an excellent way of presenting a scrap paper seller from Salamanca, NY, active in the close from the 19th hundred years. The connection may appear just like a parable from Lao Tzu, nonetheless it is still the type of wisdom that may make songwriting failures experience just a little better because they wad up another little bit of paper and leave the door for his or her restaurant careers. This scrap paper seller had a child called Ray Evans. The child created a knack for composing lyrics and became a songwriter. A summary of recordings which have consequently been manufactured from lyrics seriously competitors for pure bulk the task of any lyricist in music background. Classic “pap” surely got to stop hauling scrap. Very little of the rhyme; certainly Evans could did better. He also could perform far better in particularly describing the achievement he has accomplished, apparently taking pleasure in the monitoring of royalty statistics as an enjoyable hobby. In the past due ’90s, he provided biographers with the next information: the group of Evans and Livingston experienced 26 tunes that offered a million or even more copies and total product sales of their tunes are more than 400 million. The achievement of Evans, whose most well-known songs are the ballad “Mona Lisa,” the jingle of “Metallic Bells” every Xmas, as well as the philosophical “Que Será, Será,” ties handily in to the “partner” theory of songwriting. With this scenario, some people that have a knack with composing words to tunes look for a partner that’s equally as good at creating music, their conference preordained as though destiny was linked along with posting and performing privileges’ empires. For Evans it had been Jay Livingston. These were within the same fraternity on the School of Pa, where they fulfilled in 1934. Musically, their cooperation started as sidemen in dance rings. The pair proved helpful together as associates of a university music group that gigged on cruise lines. In virtually every case, their strike records started as songs created for movies, their amount of ideal success spanning in the ’40s with the ’60s. They hence concocted their unforgettable songfare out an countless selection of on-screen activity. 1 day it could be the blonde beauty Doris Time inspiring them, another it might be nothing pretty much than a speaking horse, a great way of neighing along with the fact the duo published the theme for the tv screen strike Mr. Ed. When Evans worked well aside from Livingston, he was barely hanging out inside a barn. “Dear Heart,” a wonderful Evans ballad which was popular for Nat Ruler Cole, presented music by way of a fellow called Henry Mancini. The town of Salamanca created a location known as the Ray Evans Theatre in his honor.

This November, with Referendum 52 on the ballot, Washington voters have a rare chance to see a kind of collaboration that could simultaneously enfranchise students, improve schools, build neighborhood pride, foster sustainability, help the environment and create thousands of jobs.
The referendum, dubbed the Jobs Act, and which was passed by both the state Senate and House April 12 (both state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles and state Rep. Reuven Carlyle voted for it), will raise $500 million in bonds that will be used to fund energy efficiency projects at public schools throughout the state. Sponsored by state Reps. Hans Dunshee (D-44th District, Snohomish County) and 21 other legislators, including Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson of the 36th District here in Seattle, the intention of the Jobs Act is to create jobs, save taxpayers money, reduce operating costs at schools and in improve the environment along the way.
The schools with the most needs and those with innovative ideas that result in the greatest cost savings will get the most funding. Smaller districts with fewer than 1,000 full-time students are guaranteed at least 5 percent from each round of funding.
So this is a big opportunity for students, parents, teachers, administrators and just about anybody else affiliated with public schools in the state to brainstorm ideas that might bring jobs and innovation to our communities.
Once the referendum is passed, if it passes, school districts can submit proposals to the state's commerce department which will dole out the funding. But schools should start thinking about energy-saving ideas now. And one way to do that is to get students involved. To do that, teachers could incorporate the proposal into their lesson plans by having students work in groups and develop energy-saving ideas for their schools. The ideas can then get worked into PowerPoint presentations. The exciting part is that even the most far-reaching idea may have some merit, and thereby have real-world application.
In 2008, physics students at Montpelier High School in Montpelier, Vt., were challenged by their teacher to come up with ways to reduce energy usage at their school and beyond. Students came up with the following: Connecting two bike routes, adding a wind turbine and an undershot waterwheel powered by the Winooski River and an analysis on the usefulness of the school's walk-in freezer. Another idea was to restore the Lane Shops Dam at the nearby Winooski. Students figured out that by reviving the dam, the power generated would provide a quarter of the city's population with electricity.
Dunshee estimates that projects funded by the referendum could save public schools $126 million annually in reduced energy and operational costs. And the projected reduction of pollution emissions from such projects is equivalent to removing about 130,000 cars from the roads each year.
Construction projects are expected to take place through 2016. During that time, the state will be collecting sales tax and B&O tax from the projects and pouring it into the general fund. Then it will be used to pay debt service to the bonds. But from 2017 through 2020, the state will have to service the debt with no added tax revenue. To do that, the state Treasury Department will draw from the general fund and use sales tax from items like bottled water.
But creating jobs and recharging the state's economy outweigh the drawbacks. And what better way is there to help students get involved, become critical thinkers not just in the classroom, but on behalf of the world that they are about to inherit.[[In-content Ad]]

Public access to Dowth World Heritage site after €11m sale
by Caroline O'Doherty - published in the Irish Independent 30th September 2023
Megalithic Meath landmark bought by State to be turned into park
As a child, Gary McCloskey played hide-and-seek in an old tunnel at the back of his grandmother's
house. Neither he nor his Granny Ita had any idea his giggles were echoing down a megalithic passage
tomb built 5,500 years earlier.
The tomb was beneath the conservatory of Dowth Hall, the Georgian country house that the late
Ita Pidgeon called home up to the early 2000s. It's just one of the remarkable features of the
house and surrounding estate that the public will be able to enjoy after the Government bought
the entire 550-acre property to turn into a national park.
Provisionally named the Boyne Valley National Park, the Co. Meath
demesne falls within
the Brú na Bóinne
Unesco World Heritage site which is home to the passage tombs of
Bordered by the Boyne River
it has rolling hills of grassland and woods; lodges, stables,
walled gardens, a Victorian manor and potentially many more ancient treasures underground.
"We would have come up here at weekends and played in the trees and in the river and
in what we now know were archaeological treasures," said Mr McCloskey.
"The house was brilliant for kids too because it has a basement and three floors,
although Gran wouldn't let us too far into some of the rooms with our muddy feet."
Now 40 and working with a pharmaceutical company in Dublin, Mr McCloskey said he
was delighted the State had bought his childhood playground.
"It's definitely the right thing to have it in public ownership. I have three children
of my own now and we'll be coming out here to enjoy it - it's great that it will be
open to everyone," he said.
Possibly unknown to themselves, the wider public may have already had a sneak preview
as Dowth Hall was the setting for the 1999 film, The Last September. Based on a John
Banville novel and executively produced by Neil Jordan, it starred Michael Gambon,
who died this week, and Maggie Smith.
The property was owned for the last decade by Devenish Nutrition, the animal feed
company which used the lands as a research farm. They put it on the market earlier
this year and the State bought it for €11m, although it will cost much more to
turn it into a public amenity.
A masterplan will be drawn up over the next two years and Housing Minister
Darragh O'Brien said he expected some public access would be possible then,
with the full grounds to open up gradually afterwards.
Heritage Minister Malcolm Noonan said agricultural research would continue
on site, with the emphasis on nature friendly farming. "It will be a unique
national park for Ireland. You can trace the country's first farmers to this
area 6,000 years ago," he said.
Ciara McMenamin, a neighbour of Dowth Hall, recalled many chats with the
Pidgeons over the years in their humbly kept palace. "It was always beautiful,
but it's hard to keep a place like this," she said, looking at the intricate
plasterwork adorning the soaring ceilings.
"You'd be brought in by the big fireplace and they'd be delighted to see you.
They loved seeing people coming. I think they'd be glad to know there'll always be people here now."
Niall O'Donnchu, director general of the National Parks and Wildlife Service,
said the estate was already supporting a rich diversity of habitats and
wildlife including endangered birds, kingfisher, otter, voles and red deer.
"It has these incredible layers of natural woodlands mixed with pastureland.
It has a symphony of habitats and natural heritage," he said.
The new national park will be the country's seventh, and the second in Leinster
alongside Wicklow Mountains National Park.

According to PCS, insured losses from the conflict in Ukraine reach 20 billion dollars
A number of ports have ceased operations, although exposure to physical damage appears to vary depending on proximity to fighting. Insured losses could therefore accumulate quickly. Although there are no firm estimated ranges in the market yet, PCS customers have suggested that losses could range from US$2 billion to US$5 billion, although there is still considerable uncertainty in this fork. In addition, we have had discussions with some about freight losses in the market. Some see it as a minimal contribution to industry-wide insured maritime loss, while a different perspective notes the volumes of grain moving through affected ports and the potential for spoilage. Market estimates have yet to be released, but expectations appear to be that overall cargo losses will be small compared to those from blocking and trapping and ports and terminals.
Overall, PCS estimates that industry-wide insured marine losses could range from US$3 billion to US$6 billion, with a working estimate of US$5 billion. Since much of the loss is time-related, it will take some time before reliable estimates hit the market.
3. Energy: According to PCS market sources, most insured energy losses are expected to come from the onshore sector, with wind farms alone likely incurring up to US$850 million in insured losses globally. ‘industry. And of course, several nuclear facilities have suffered damage or other disruptions that could lead to assured losses in the future, including Zaporizhzhia and potentially Chernobyl, according to public reports. Nuclear casualties tend to be costly, due to the specialized manpower and equipment needed for even the most seemingly mundane tasks, a situation exacerbated by security requirements.
While we haven’t discussed much else with others with this degree of specificity, there seems to be plenty of exposure, including public reports of other damaged power plants. Ukraine produces 65% of the energy it consumes locally, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), but the country imports more than 80% of the oil it consumes and half of the coal it consumes. he consumes. The use of nuclear energy accounts for a considerable share of national energy production. The implications of Ukraine being a transit country for fossil fuel exports from Russia do not appear to have materialized, although the possibility remains.
Typically, expected insured losses for the entire land energy industry can be difficult to determine this early in the dispute. Being able to get adjusters to the field is key to understanding estimates of insured energy losses ashore due to political violence, as PCS saw when producing estimates for PCS Turkey Catastrophe 1613, a political violence event in the southeastern part of the country in which about 10 percent of the industry’s loss came from major energy programs.
At this time, it is difficult to predict a potential industry-wide impact for this sector, but conversations with clients suggest that industry-wide insured losses exceed $2 billion. Americans seem likely, especially with wind farms and nuclear facilities potentially accounting for half of that.
4. Assets per peril: Assets per peril may take the longest to accumulate, as a large number of businesses may be affected, limits may be high, and business interruption may contribute significantly to any total industry-wide insured losses for that class. work. This class of business, after aviation, may be the largest source of industry-wide insured losses in Ukraine. Forty percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) comes from steel and grain, and several of those insured are already flagged by the global re/insurance community.

|Lighthouse in Gallipoli|
Before: Try to look beyond the 'instantly appealing' the banal or the imitation pastiche of subjects, and seek out a subject matter that will offer your viewer an opportunity to ask questions. The examples here show buildings and abandonment. What lies beyond what we see on the outside is the beauty within and what may have taken place there previously - the photo offers a retrospective view and a gaze into the past. What lurks in the shadows and what do they tell us about an event now past?
Try not to overlook the shadows in any picture situation as 'shadow' area conceals, in many cases, evidence that can be easily overlooked through dark exposures.
During: As a rule, you may want to explore the use of underexposure to create a darkera nd more moody feel. Use wideanle or super-wide lenses to create a voyeuristic feel with maximum depth of field to reindorce the context of the location. Accentuate details such as the dusty, open pages of an unread book or furniture as it may appear after someone has made a hurried departure. Don't be afraid to leave unanswered questions as powerful elements of the iamge that will hold the viewer's attention.
|The open pages of a dusty book in Romania|
Hamish's Top Tips:
- Look beyond that which you can see in front of you.
- Research suitable locations that will give you opportunities to explore traces of the past.
- Use wideangle lenses to define context and telephoto lenses to isolate details.
- Shoot in Raw to maximise dynamic range and details
- Experiment with different exposures to emphasise, highlight or shadow areas and later blend in post-processing.
- Think about latent emotions within the image that you are trying to convey to the viewer, sadness, anger, fear, happiness, belonging and love are just a few and can all be depicted by careful handling of light and shadow.
- Consider the best time of day for the right quality of light, will the scene benefit from directional light of non-directional light?
- Be sure to seek permission before entering a location and leave the location as you found it.

You came home from work today just as grumpy as you could be. Your boss was in his most villainous mood, traffic was a nightmare of nearly epic proportions and you stubbed your toe walking up the drive. Nothing in this world could save this day from being a total pisser, right?
Then you shove open that door and shlump in to find that little bundle of puppy energy, head comically cocked to one side just daring you to stay angry after glancing at his impossibly adorable face for a minute. And then it happens. Your heart rate slows, your fists uncurl and all of a sudden you find yourself laughing, actually laughing as your pet puts on its very best puppy show.

Miracle in Rwanda
Miracle in Rwanda
Leslie Lewis Sword transforms herself into a host of characters to tell the incredible story of Rwandan genocide survivor Immacule?e Ilibagiza, a real life messenger of hope. Imamacule?e was the subject of a 60 Minutes feature last December, bringing international attention to the story of Miracle in Rwanda. Immacule?e 's family was brutally murdered during the three-month slaughter that began in April 1994. Miraculously, Immacule?e managed to survive. For 91 days, despite killers repeatedly searching the house, she and seven other women huddled silently and cramped together in an undiscovered extra bathroom in a local pastor's home. Ultimately, Immacule?e moves beyond intense fear and rage, to find a deeper connection to God than she ever thought possible. Often called 'our generation's Anne Frank'-yet one who thankfully survived-the true miracle of her story is Immacule?e's amazing ability to forgive

Benatia not keen on Arsenal move
The Moroccan international has impressed since joining the Bianconeri from French club Clerment last summer, and his consistently solid defensive displays have been a key factor in Udinese defying pre-season expectations this term and reaching fourth place in Serie A.
Arsenal, by contrast, have struggled to achieve defensive reliability this season, and reports in several English newspapers had suggested that Gunners midfielder Samir Nasri – Benatia’s close friend and former team-mate at Olympique Marseille – had tried to persuade Arsene Wenger to sign the big centre-back, with Benatia himself admitting that the French midfielder wants him to come to Emirates Stadium.
The 23-year-old, however, told the press he does not share Nasri’s desire for him to join the Gunners.
“I am happy at the Friuli and think only of Udinese,” he said. “I signed a five-year contract and don’t want to leave before that expires. I realised from the first day I arrived here that I had joined a great club.
“I have learned so much by training alongside team-mates like Cristian Zapata and Andrea Coda. They are strong and expert defenders with over 150 Serie A appearances behind them. This team is very united, both on the field and off.”
Udinese’s excellent form in Serie A this season has given them a realistic chance of securing Champions League football for the first time since 2005.
Benatia believes he and his team-mates are more than capable of achieving the feat, provided they can maintain their formidable defensive record.
“We have many quality players, and when I look at the fixture list I think we can achieve great things together."

mickeytopogigio saidAll the Presidents have made addresses to schoolchildren. I never remember it being an issue before.
Even though I was no fan of Reagan/Bush/Bush, I can't imagine even remotely questioning their decision to address the children. They all say the same thing: stay in school, get a diploma, don't do drugs. What the fuck are these bat-shit crazies worried about?
In many cases, the Presidents are in one classroom, visiting and talking with little kids as recent news photos of the Obamas, for example, show; not a planned, nationally organized television broadcast to classrooms with "lesson materials" and assignments coming from the White House. That's one difference.
I'm only forwarding some of the reactions I've read elsewhere about this:
Reagan addressed kids on television immediately after the Challenger disaster happened and many kids had been watching the launch in classroom TVs. This wasn't quite the same as the current thing planned for Tuesday.
I believe there were criticisms I read about of Bush Senior's addresses, or maybe it was W's addresses seen as too "political" or "campaign advertising".
The current effort unfortunately fits in very conveniently with the conservatives'/Republicans'/libertarians' points of view about the "socialistic" conspiracies afoot in government. This is an Orwellian wet dream to them.
What's the real purpose and intent? Hard to say from the press releases. I think the original announcements from the Education Dept. were admittedly poorly crafted and worded, and have since been quickly amended (as have the "teaching assignments" materials as I understand it) to tone down some of the unfortunate overtones of the news releases about Obama's direct addresses to school children across the country on a mass scale.
An example is the effort needed right here to re-phrase the 'What can you do for the President" into other words and more palatable and probable meanings geared toward - "education is important, stay in school, learn, get as much education as you can" etc. And it's voluntary -- many schools will not be showing this on Tuesday but will/may have the address saved for later use, I have read.
This was too vaguely planned and launched, if you ask me (not that anyone did). Much the same has happened in the health care/insurance reform announcements and discussions -- a lot has got out of the barn before it was sufficiently groomed and crafted, IMO. That shouldn't happen at this level from the White House or Congress. No wonder we're working uphill.

Lots of people woke up with headaches the day after Barack Obama’s historic victory, including the Big O himself. Had Malia upped her negotiation stance to a Great Dane?
It wasn’t that bad, but it was an Excedrin moment nonetheless when those intemperate Russians announced just hours after the polls closed that they’ll deploy Iskander tactical missiles close to the Polish border if the Obama administration proceeds with plans to build a missile defense system in Western Europe.
Talk about raining on the parade!
To an extent, we can cut Russian President Dmitry Medvedev a break here. The poor guy feels put-out because his nation’s 75% stock market tumble in the last 6 weeks has completely extinguished the adrenaline rush he got from his moment in the Georgian sun last summer.
But did he have to go on national TV and say that right then?
Whatever, it presents an early test for the Big O, who during the campaign provided lukewarm support for a US-built European missile defense system designed to protect Western Europe from rogue states like Iran.
Moscow believes the missile defense system threatens its national security, to which the lame duck US president responded that the system would be no match for an all-out Russian nuclear attack so why worry?
Oy vey! January 20th cannot come fast enough.
Meanwhile, Medvedev was quoted by the Washington Post as saying, “I want to stress that these are forced measures. We want positive cooperation…we want to act together against common threats. But they unfortunately, don’t want to listen to us.”
Obama had no comment on the matter. He’s got to deal with Puppygate first.

The Eleven Names Project is an independent digital research project built on archival sources first published by Wayne Tucker on August 22, 2021. I am a South Shore native, and having spent time in Boston and in Metro West, I’ve returned to the South Shore.
In re-visiting my Puritan-era genealogy during the pandemic, I learned that in the past decade fresh, important scholarship detailing Massachusetts’s history of slavery has emerged. This prompted me to revisit my own ancestors’ possible ties to slavery.
While investigating my family’s involvement in the Pequot and King Philip’s wars–a source of enslaved Indians domestically, but more often Indians were traded to the West Indies for African slaves–I came across a spreadsheet compiled by BYU scholar Jenny Hale Pulsipher recounting enslaved Indians and their enslavers that she encountered while researching King Philip’s war. On that spreadsheet was an entry for “a girl of Mr. Dudly, ‘neer well of a pox, fell a bleeding and bled to death’…1679″.
That was a small thread but I kept pulling, and unraveled a cache of documentary evidence implicating the Dudley family in a lineage of multigenerational slavery. Stunned with what I found, I needed to share this history. I’m not a professional writer, I don’t have a platform, and I’m not a trained historian, so I created the Eleven Names Project.
Thank you for reading. Please be in touch and I’d enjoy your questions, comments, or feedback.

I can never resist a tea-infused cocktail! Taboon is one of our favorite restaurants in NYC. We actually had our third date here, and we love going back! They have so many vegetarian options, the aesthetic of the entire restaurant is just beautiful, and they have this lovely tea infused martini!! The HouseTea-Tini has all of my favorite cocktail ingredients: Gin, lemon, and tea…you really can’t go wrong! The only thing that would have made it better was a splash of prosecco ;)
Personally, I find that Gin is one of the easiest alcohols to infuse with tea. I use to do this all the time, and always felt it paired well with a variety of different teas. Plus, tea infusions are such a fun way to experiment with mixing up a classic cocktail. I am no expert, but I would just put my Gin in a teapot and steep it in loose leaf tea (at room temperature) for a few hours. This always did the trick!
Have you ever experimented with mixology? I’m dying to try a proper mixology class. Taking recommendations for classes in NYC :) xx

The 33-year-old South Korean director and composer Jaha Koo draws on diverse forms of art, among which multimedia, performance, video, music, texts and installation. In his new performance-lecture, Cuckoo, the artist elaborates on the last twenty years of South Korean history, engaging in a hilarious and bittersweet conversation with three sentient, talking rice cookers.
Twenty years ago, South Korea experienced a major economic crisis, not unlike the one experienced by Europe today. The artist shares his thoughts on the crisis and how it profoundly affected his generation, bequeathing him and his peers with unemployment, loneliness and a deep sense of isolation – a feeling best expressed with the untranslatable Korean word golibmuwon.

It’s not only a police state, it’s an incompetent police state.
So in August, 2011, a member of the Missouri Highway Patrol spots Bob Harte doing something suspicious. He was leaving a store with a small bag of merchandise that he bought from that store. It happened to be a hydroponics store.
Bob Harte didn’t think he was doing anything suspicious. He thought he was doing a father-son project to grow tomatoes and squash.
Seven months later, the Missouri Highway Patrol passes on that “tip” to the Johnson County Sherriff’s Office, which then puts together an investigation spanning several weeks involving early-morning searches of the Harte’s trash, but apparantly not involving any actual… investigation.
Using notoriously unreliable field testing kits and a complete lack of intelligence, they determine that plant matter in the trash is marijuana, and get a warrant to serve a SWAT-style search of the home, terrifying the family.
They found… tomatoes and squash.
There are several things to take away from this story. One is, of course, the incredible amount of incompetence displayed by law enforcement.
Another is the disconnect involved in expending this much effort on a chance of arresting somebody for something that most Americans think should be legal. Is there no other crime to combat?

Belted Kingfisher. Photograph © Shawn P. Carey.
We saw a Belted Kingfisher behaving unexpectedly at Cedar Meadow Pond in Leicester on Sunday, December 6, 2015. It was flying across the pond a few inches above the surface and would skim the water for several feet like a stone one skips across a pond, actually breaking the surface of the water. The bird continued this behavior first heading in one direction across the pond and then turning and flying in the opposite direction, skimming the whole time. It made a few passes back and forth across the pond. We finally lost sight of it when it flew farther out on the pond because we were looking through shrub and tree branches.
We had never seen this type of behavior by a kingfisher. It reminded us of swallows skimming to drink.
Arthur Cleveland Bent (1940) quoted a Mr. Carey (1909) who noted similar behavior in Belted Kingfishers:
The Kingfisher’s flight is remarkable for its beauty. How easily those long wings carry him about, as he skims so close over the water that their tips are sometimes wetted, or, as he hovers, his body appearing absolutely motionless, in that wonderful way which few birds can equal, for indefinite periods of time. Sometimes, especially in water half a foot or less in depth, he dives while flying nearly parallel to its surface. Sometimes, in his journeys from perch to perch when fish are plentiful, he dips again and again into the water in this way, reminding one of the Swallow as he gracefully touches the water here and there in his flight over the mill pond. Again, he drops like a falling stone in a nearly perpendicular line upon his fishy prey.

Boracay might look small on a map, but in reality it’s larger than most people think. So if you ever you find yourself on this Philippine island paradise, don’t hesitate to take the time to explore. This of course raises the question: How should you get around Boracay Island?
The island’s main two-lane thoroughfare (flat road) stretches parallel to White Beach from the main pier all the way to Puka Beach. Because White Beach is long, it is divided into three sections called “Boat Stations”. Over the years, the island’s tourism industry has grown, and so too has the number of businesses. This is the primary reason why the main road is always busy, and the main mode of transport is limited to tricycles.
What are Tricycles?
Tricycles are the Philippine’s version of a tuk tuk. This is a three-wheeled transport vehicle that can be seen all over the country and is usually relied upon to cover shorter routes in towns. There are no buses, trains or taxis on Boracay – just tricycles! There are also some locals who offer to drive passengers on their motorcycles.
The tricycles on Boracay Island have three wheels, they are still designed to carry as many as 8 passengers. Unlike Thai tuk tuks, they are not as fast or zippy, but they do the job of bringing you from point A to point B at a steady pace.
There are two types of tricycles on Boracay Island. The first classification is called “Moving Tricycles”. These are the tricycles that constantly pick up and drop off passengers and follow a specific route. In other words, they act like buses. Moving tricycles are often bigger and in Boracay’s case, they to be electric-powered. They run along the main thoroughfare also called “flat road”. They are also the cheapest form of tricycle on Boracay. Here are the rates of a Moving Tricycle on Boracay:
- Flat Road Station 1 to Station 3: 10 pesos
- Flat Road to Jetty Port: 25 pesos

La Nouvelle-Zélande fait paraître son livre blanc «Reimagining Regulation for the Age of AI»
New Zealand released a white paper earlier this month to help regulate AI, a project spearheaded by the World Economic Forum.
The project aims at co-designing actionable governance frameworks for AI regulation. It is structured around three focus areas: 1) obtaining of a social licence for the use of AI through an inclusive national conversation; 2) the development of in-house understanding of AI to produce well-informed policies; and 3) the effective mitigation of risks associated with AI systems to maximize their benefits.

Nintendo, I love you, but we’ve gotta talk. You cannot, cannot, show a game with mechs that look an awful lot like Skells from Xenoblade Chronicles X, then show X very prominently throughout the trailer, and not have that game be Xenoblade Chronicles X-2. I almost had a heart attack, and while I try to never judge a game for what it doesn’t show, I’ve gotta say that if that was actually what I thought, Nintendo would’ve gotten an A+. Anyway, on to what they actually showed, in much greater detail than any other conference. Hey, Nintendo is my specialty!
But what they did show was pretty damn good anyway. While no hint of X-2 (which I wasn’t expecting anyway), we got a great new trailer for normal Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s story DLC, titled Torna ~ The Golden Country. I was kinda surprised to see some of the UI changes, and it’s awesome that we finally get to live through the events that we hear so much about throughout the entire game with Jin and Lora. And hey, a face reveal for Addam! I know most people won’t care about this, but it was a nice bone to throw to us Xenoblade Chronicles fans, and made up just a bit for the fake (albeit unintentional) XCX-2 tease.
Super Mario Party seems like a big return to the series, and it’s on the perfect platform for this type of game! I’ve never been with the crowd who was a fan of Mario Party, but if it ends up being something that (oh my God) my friends in college end up liking, then it could be really awesome, especially for the more casual crowd! (This is of course assuming that I will have friends in college. But that’s for another article.)
Guys, you have no idea how much I went back and forth about the year Fire Emblem Switch would come out. I was about to press publish for 2019, and then got too hopeful at the last second and made it 2018. As they tell you on multiple choice tests, you should just stick with your first choice. But even though we must wait through a cold, cold winter without the warm flame of Fire Emblem, it will melt away our sorrows with the annual rebirth of life in spring. I doubt Fire Emblem: Three Houses will reach the heights of the criminally underappreciated Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, but it’s exhilarating to see our first mainline Fire Emblem game in HD. I’m excited to see what the deal is with all these troops, even if it looks a lot more complicated. I just hope “three houses” doesn’t mean “three games,” because Fates did that and got three superficial experiences instead of a singular deep one.
There were a few indies announced, Hollow Knight impressively for this very day, but we all knew the one big game that was coming up:
Seriously, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate was finally unveiled, and the reel of characters that just kept going and going and going until freaking Snake came back and announced that everyone that had ever been in Smash was coming back was an awesome way to unveil it.
I’m gonna let you in on a secret, but you can’t tell anyone, okay? I, the self-proclaimed Nintendo fanatic, have never played more than 15 hours of any Smash game. Shhh, don’t tell anyone! But this game looks so polished, extensive, and, well, ultimate, that I plan to really dig into this game and figure out how it works. The tournament where ZeRo just barely won really sold it for me.
And maybe get some use out of all my amiibo! I was really worried that Nintendo were going to try and make me re-collect the entire Smash roster again, but that’s not the case. They’re making amiibo for the two new characters, Inking and Ridley (!), and it makes sense that they would go back and make amiibo for all of the ones that weren’t on the 3DS and Wii U versions. Counting redesigns and Daisy, that makes for 13 new amiibo. Not nothing, but that’ll be spread out across many years, albeit likely becoming much more than 13. The amiibo hunt is back on, and I’m first in line for it.
And the Octo Expansion is out… tomorrow?! HECK yeah!
When you come down to it, Nintendo didn’t have too many big games to show off other than Smash, but not only did Smash kick ass, but I really care about almost everything they showed off. I can say objectively that Microsoft had many more games that more people probably care about, but it’s pointless to grade something from an objective perspective. Without Smash, it might be a B-, but it does have Smash, and for me, that makes things a solid:
Thanks for joining me and discussing each conference! I’ve loved getting to write down my feelings about it, and discussing it with other people. It looks like I’ll be writing a lot about things that start with “Octo-” within the next few days. But until then, what were your favorite moments, from either today’s Nintendo Direct or the E3 conferences in general? I’ll see you tomorrow! (Check the word count for more “Octo-” goodness!) ;)

Patrons Claim ICandy Nightclub’s Timberland Boots “Ban” Is Racially Motivated
A series of incidents at the door of popular Gayborhood nightclub ICandy in recent weeks has some black LGBT community members wondering whether the club’s apparent ban on patrons wearing Timberland boots — a brand long associated with black hip-hop fashion — is racially motivated.
In an interview with G Philly on April 20th, the friend, who asked not to be named, described the experience as “embarrassing” and “downright racist.” “There’s no reason why half-naked men can walk around there with tight undies on, but I can’t wear trendy boots,” he said. “I bet if they came from Aldo or another popular white brand, there wouldn’t have been an issue.”
In the comments on one of Kyle’s posts, a white patron, Stephen Groves, said he too had been rejected at ICandy’s door the evening before. “As my friends and I walked up to ICandy, I noticed the doorman looking down at my boots a couple of times,” Groves told G Philly. “We got to the door, and he said ‘I can’t let you in.’ I asked why, and he said, ‘You have on Timbs.’ I said, ‘And that’s a problem?’ And he said ‘No Timbs — it’s a new dress code for summer.’”
However, when Groves sent a private message to ICandy’s official Facebook page soon after the incident, he received an unsigned reply claiming that the doorman had made an error: “[W]e are maintaining and re-emphasizing our existing dress code as we gear up for our anniversary party and the spring season. However, it sounds like our door person misunderstood or misrepresented the code. Of course Timberland boots are acceptable, as are sweats and tanks ….
“The code as it exists emphasizes neat and clean attire, so no worn or dirty work boots or Timbs, and no sports/loungewear during peak club hours (afterdark, essentially),” the reply continued. “We’re very sorry that it was miscommunication on our part with our door person, and we’ll work to make sure the policy is clear and absolutely non-discriminatory, as it has always been and remains our goal to be a welcoming place for everyone in the community.”
But on April 23rd, a few nights after Groves received that message, black Southwest Philly resident Marcus Berry was also turned away while wearing Timberlands. Berry, 25, said he was dressed in a causal buttoned-up shirt and jeans, and was “surprised” when he was barred from entering the nightclub’s fifth-anniversary party. “The bouncer was persistent about not letting me enter the moment he looked down and saw my Timberlands,” Berry told G Philly. “He told me that if I had worn any other pair of shoes I could have gotten in and that the rest of my attire was appropriate. … I felt as though he was implying that the boots made my outfit ghetto or not classy enough.”
There is no mention of a no-Timberlands policy on ICandy’s website or on recent promotional material seen by G Philly. ICandy general manager Jeff Sheehan did not respond to numerous requests for comment.
Gay clubs across the nation have been accused of keeping out black guests with targeted dress codes. Last fall, LGBTQ community leaders collaborated with Philadelphia Black Pride to host a series of town halls aimed at addressing the issue of institutional racism in the Gayborhood.
“We thought we were making strides after those conversations last fall,” said D. D’Ontace Keyes, chief creative officer of Philadelphia Black Pride, while speaking at a black pride diversity luncheon on April 29th. “We got many gay bars like ICandy on board to pledge to do better for all members of the community. However, when hearing about this ‘no-Timbs policy’ happening over there, [that] sets back a lot of the progress I thought we were making.”
Since his rejection from ICandy, Marcus said, he has worn Timberlands to Boxers PHL, where “they didn’t care what shoes I had on.” When contacted by G Philly, representatives from other Gayborhood bars, including UBar, Woody’s, and Voyeur, said they do not restrict the popular shoe brand in their venues.
