Israeli parliament passes contentious Jewish nation bill

Israeli parliament passes contentious Jewish nation bill 2018
Israeli contentious Jewish nation bill 2018 Israeli parliament on Thursday approved the country as a Jewish nation, but approved a bill of controversy that critics warn minority critics. The government says the bill, which was passed in the early hours of the morning, will only bring Israel's existing personality to law. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "a historical moment in the history of Zionism and a history of the nation of Israel."
"Israel is a state of Jewish nation that respects the individual rights of all citizens," he said. "I repeat that this is our state, a Jewish nation."
"Recently, there are people who are trying to make this problem unstable," he added, adding that it destabilizes the foundations of our existence and rights. "Today we have established a law of stone, this is our country, this is our language, this is our nation, and this is our flag. Israel's Declaration of Independence in 1948 defined its nature as a Jewish and democratic state, a delicate balance of bustle for 70 years.
Opponents of the new bill say Arab minorities have alienated about 20% and have downgraded Arabs to "special" status in public officials. The law passed with 62-55 supporters and two Knesset members abstained. The bill, stipulated in the "Basic Act", is likely to challenge the Supreme Court while granting a semi-constitutional status.
The lawmakers, in one way and the other, argued in Congress one after another in order to vigorously express their views. Ayman Odeh, head of the Arab Joint List, warned of the implications of the law and shook the black flag while speaking.
"This is an evil law," he told lawmakers, adding that "a black flag is on it."
"Today I must say to all my children in the Palestinian Arab city that I declare that they do not want us here," Odeh said in a statement. "He passed the Jewish supremacy law and said we would always be a second class citizen."
Beciny Begin, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Messany Begin, warned the party's founder of the Likany party of the Netanyahu ruling on the party's human rights record.
"This is not a decision the Likud party leadership expected," he said.
Eugene Kontorovich, director of international law at the conservative Jerusalem think tank, Kohelet Policy Forum, "is similar to the provisions of many Western democracy constitutions." Population.
Kontorovic accused the bill of "false wrath" as another attempt to "simply select the Jewish state and defend the double standards".
American Jewish organizations also expressed opposition to the law.
The American Jewish Committee, a group representing the Jewish Diaspora, said it was "disappointed" that the founders of Israel had jeopardized the promise to build a Jewish and democratic state.
Jeremy Ben Ami, president of J-street, a liberal pro-Israel group in Washington, said the purpose of the bill was "to send a message to the Arab community, the LGBT community and other ethnic minorities in Israel that they will never be equal and not equal. Citizen said to send ".
"The strong ties between Israel and the Jews are based on this value of Israel as both Jewish and democratic," Ben Ami said, expressing concern that the bill would weaken the power of Israel's democracy.
Lawmakers on Sunday allowed the creation of an "independent community" and critics removed the most controversial clause in the bill, which they called racists.
Israelis, including President Reuven Rivlin and the Attorney General, opposed draft draft legislation. Israeli opponents of the bill, which is considered to be discriminatory on Saturday in Tel Aviv, have made a number of protests on the streets.

Connecting martech and adtech for improved customer experience
In 1994, audiences were blessed (or cursed?) with the very first banner ad at hotwired.com. Those first forays into digital advertising were clunky at best, and I remember my father solemnly warning me to never, ever click one because "It could be a virus."
[Screenshot taken from thefirstbannerad.com]
These days, sponsored content on social media is one of the major ways I find out what's in style and what's on sale. Just today I've clicked on ads for comfy looking pajamas and a fun two-piece set I thought would be perfect for a June wedding I'm attending. Both were completely out of my price range, but it's also a bit flattering that Instagram thinks I'm rich.
As brands increasingly gain the ability to buy and sell ads in real time via programmatic, serving ads to target audiences has never been easier. Yet all-too-often, a brand's martech hasn't quite caught up with its adtech.
And many times, customers are clicking on ads only to be pretty disappointed by generic homepages featuring messaging that has nothing to do with where they are in their buyer journey. Here's how focusing on the customer experience also means making the most of your programmatic ad spend.
Content produced in collaboration with Ve Global.
Why focus on customer experience?
In the early days of digital advertising, the customer journey was pretty straightforward: a person was served an ad, and if they clicked, they would go on to either make a purchase or walk away.
But today, with so many new channels and myriad ways to check in with customers throughout every point in their journey, the customer experience matters more than ever before. Ensuring that customers are being served relevant experiences at every touchpoint in their journey is critical for helping customers to see your brand's value.
All too often, we accept it as a given that customers hate ads. And that may have been true back in the days when digital advertising meant an annoying, spammy banner flashing at the top of a slow-loading web page.
But these days, most customers have come to rely on advertising as a critical part of their buyer's journey, whether they realize it or not.
According to eConsultancy, 46% of consumers don't mind advertising as long as it's relevant.
And when customers can't recall the content of ads they've seen, 55% say it's because the ad simply wasn't relevant.
It turns out consumers tend to think they're getting a poorer customer experience than what marketers think they're delivering.
[Graph from eMarketer]
In the survey above, 48% of US marketers believed brands deliver excellent customer experiences — while only 22% of US consumers agreed.
The right ad at just the right time can make the difference between welcoming a new customer and wasting precious ad spend.
The five shopping modes: Understanding them could be your path to better communication
Looking at the steps customers take on their paths to purchase is a critical part of understanding what messaging is right for which customer.
Accepted marketing wisdom tells us that there are five main shopping modes:
- Browser
- Researcher
- Product-focused
- Bargain hunter
- One-time shopper
But these modes aren't static. Customers often switch back and forth between modes.
For example, the return of Game of Thrones has me dying to make a huge, traditional savory pie for the finale. I'm wondering if I should splurge on the $80 springform pan or go with a cheaper, $10 Amazon version.
Usually I'd be pretty unlikely to splurge on a big cookware purchase. But I'll bet I could be persuaded just this once with the right messaging. Say, however, I'm served an ad for 20% off select cookware and click on the ad to find that only Dutch ovens are on sale. I'm unlikely to say "Oh what the heck, I'll go with a Dutch oven rather than a springform pan." I'm much more likely to walk away.
By understanding the five stages that exist within a typical online journey, as well as the behaviors and motivations associated with audiences in each stage, marketers can deliver advertising that extends past the first touchpoint. Instead, it can incorporate different campaign methods to achieve the desired outcome at different stages in the journey.
Unfortunately, too many marketers see programmatic advertising as a one-size-fits-all solution instead of serving ads specifically tailored to each buyer at each stage in their journey.
What causes high bounce rates for paid ads?
Most paid advertising has a pretty dismal bounce rate.
According to Lunarlogic, the average bounce rate for paid ads is somewhere between 41%-55%.
With as much as half of any given brand's hard-earned paid traffic currently leaving a website before engaging, we are facing an industry-wide problem of wasted advertising spend and underperformance, with the cause lying beyond programmatic advertising alone.
Here are four of the most common reasons audiences bounce:
- Lack of focus on what happens after an ad is clicked or viewed
- Generic homepages which lack any form of personalization
- Low recall rate and lack of targeting for ads that were viewed, but not clicked
- Disconnect with the rest of the customer journey
The common factor in each of these is the lack of connection between advertising and the channels through which that advertising takes the customer.
If I click on an ad for my coveted springform tin and am then shuffled to some generic website full of baking supplies that have nothing to do with my search, the brand has basically extended an invitation for me to spend my money somewhere else.
Connecting adtech and martech is the best way forward
Adopting marketing technology that works with programmatic ads in order to create a cohesive, personalized, and relevant experience is the only way to be sure customers are being met at the correct stage in their path to purchase.
They need to be served information that adds value to their brand experience, rather than simply burdening it.

Hey Friends!
For us, this summer has been all about slowing down and enjoying time with family and friends. We had a great time one afternoon hanging out at my Sister-in-law Rachel's house, planting some succulent gardens and splashing in the pool. To eat, Rachel whipped up a delicious and easy Mango Salsa and you guys- I'm not kidding you when I say it was perfect! This salsa is so yummy because it is a well balanced combination of sweet, spicy, tart and overall really flavorful. We snacked on it a bit with tortilla chips, but ended up using it in chicken tacos for dinner and it was just so good! I'm sharing her recipe below.
Rachel's Mango Salsa- [Serves 3-4]
Prep Time: 10 Minutes/ Cook Time: 0 Minutes/ Total Time: 10 Minutes
1 large, ripe Mango
1 Red Bell Pepper
2 medium Tomatoes
2 Jalapeños (use 1 -or none- if you want less spice)
1/2 Red Onion
Small handful of fresh Cilantro
1 ripe Avocado
1 TBSP Lime Juice
Garlic Powder
Salt + Pepper
- Chop all the fruits and vegetables into small pieces, with the exception of the avocado, and combine in a medium bowl.
- Remove cilantro stems and discard. Chop cilantro leaves lightly and add to the bowl.
- Add in the lime juice, then lightly sprinkle in some garlic powder, salt + pepper to taste. It doesn't need a lot of seasoning so go light until desired flavor is achieved. Stir well to combine.
- Lastly, chop the avocado into small pieces, and gently fold in to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Serve + Enjoy!
Here are a few quick tips when making this recipe:
-Be careful when selecting the avocado for this salsa- you want one that is ripe, but not overly ripe. An avocado that is too ripe will break down in the salsa and cause it to be mushy!
-This salsa is wonderful served over chicken, fish, shrimp or pork! Be creative and try new ways to serve it! Even using it to jazz up a serving of white rice + black beans is delicious and a great vegetarian option!
-Make this salsa in small quantities, as it does not keep well in the fridge for long. You will want to use up any leftovers within the next day after it is prepared.
I hope you enjoy this salsa recipe this summer and beyond! Comment below letting me know how you like the salsa, and tell me, do you prefer a spicier or sweeter version? I'm 100% team spicy! ❤
Big Hugs,

A friend of one of the Australians who was injured in the Bastille Day terror attack in Nice has described running desperately for the beach as a truck pushed through the crowd behind her.
Alex Mahoney was in Nice with 18-year-old Bronte Stuntz from Sydney's north shore, who suffered minor injuries in the attack.
Authorities say they have identified the 31-year-old man who drove the white truck carrying grenades and guns through the crowd of happy revellers, killing at least 84.
"All of a sudden I start hearing all this screaming, so I turn around and look back at people running," Ms Mahoney told 9NEWS.
"I see a truck pushing through the crowd of people and 50, 100 metres behind me and quickly coming towards me. So we all just ran towards the beach."
Marcus and Sally Anne Freeman from Balmain had also joined the celebrations, snapping a quick selfie before finding themselves in the middle of a terror attack.
"All of a sudden we hear the gunshots and things happening and everyone just rushes through. It was like, if you could imagine a big truck at speed going straight through a crowd at a grand final at the football," Mr Freeman said.
Evie Timotheou from Adelaide said "everyone was petrified, crying, it was just sheer panic."
"Police ordered people to just run. We escaped by probably a minute or two."
Melbourne 23-year-old Rhys Lawry said he pulled out his phone and ran.
"It was incredibly frightening, you can't describe the fear you feel when you see this massive crowd of people just running towards you."
Most of the Australians caught up in the attack say they are now planning to leave Nice.
"I don't think anyone expects such a horrible tragedy while they are travelling let alone such a picturesque place as Nice," Mr Lawry said.
Melbourne parents Denae and Sasha Goldsmith are staying in an apartment above where the Bastille Day celebrations were taking place with their two daughters, aged five and seven.
They said they heard the celebration's music suddenly stop, and looked down at the street from their balcony to see hundreds of people "scrambling" down the street.
"There was a whole lot of noise and then I thought 'why is the truck there'- it was just coming through the crowd," Mrs Goldsmith told 9NEWS.
"I thought 's--t everyone's running' so we grabbed the kids and got down and then the gun shots all happened."
Mrs Goldsmith said she didn't see the gunfire because "we got down on the ground".
The parents told their daughters the sounds were fireworks.
"We put them to bed, so they haven't seen any of this, thank god," Mrs Goldsmith said.
From their balcony the couple watched as authorities entered the truck.
"You can see all the gunshots in the front of the truck, where they've killed the driver," Mrs Goldsmith said.
Mrs Goldsmith said there were "hundreds" of police on the scene, and she saw one officer become physically ill as they inspected the inside of the truck.
Tamworth father Dean Ellison said his daughter Hannah, in Nice on a Top Deck tour, phoned him terrified at 6am.
"She said there were bodies and people everywhere. She said it was total chaos," Mr Ellison told 9news.com.au.
"They were just coming back and walking along the footpath and they heard a heap of screams and yelling."
Ms Ellison escaped injury but said one of her friends who was on the tour with her is now in hospital.
"They've turned around and from what Hannah said they've got out of the way just in time.
"She said she knew something was not right and turned around and saw the truck and tried to get out of the way the best she could.
"One of her friends got hurt, but she said she wasn't serious, but they took her to hospital just as a precaution."
Mr Ellison said his daughter was in shock and the tour company was working to relocate the group as soon as possible.
"She was still not doing her best when I spoke to her last. It's not a nice call to get from your daughter at six in the morning."

Case in point: the Democrats are massively obsessed with the possibility that Putin "interfered" with the 2016 election. There's very scant evidence of this. After a year of obsessive investigation and surveillance, special prosecutor Mueller finally indicted 13 Russians for using Twitter to attack Hillary. These indictments are a sham because none of these Russians will ever be in a position to clear their name in a court of law since they live in Russia. And, if they are guilty of attacking Hillary to make her look bad (which she is), then I AM guilty too!! Hell, millions are "guilty." Hillary is more than a liar, she murdered people who would expose her corruption.
But everything they accuse Putin of doing is what THEY are guilty of. We're finding out that Leftist outfits like Twitter and Facebook are in fact the ones who manipulated the election. A Obama staffer admits that Facebook was on our side. (We're not even counting illegal vote fraud, rigging of the primary, etc). Leaders in the DOJ and FBI "covered" for Hillary to exonerate her and plot against Trump. Virtually everything ever said by Hillary in the 2016 campaign was a lie while she continued to sell-out our country to the highest bidder. She is literally the corruption queen---just like Putin. Hillary is a murderer too--just like Putin. Hillary and The Left ARE Putin!
The entire Mueller "prosecution" of Trump is a lie. They are supposedly looking for corruption in Trump's camp, but they are drowning in hard evidence of widespread Democratic corruption, manipulation, fraud, lies. All the people on that panel are hopelessly compromised. There isn't an ounce of integrity there.
Democrats illustrate a textbook case of what psychologists call "projection:" they fail to see that THEY THEMSELVES are the embodiment of what they accuse others of being! From M.Scott Peck's "People of the Lies"
Since evil people, deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world, they will invariably perceive other as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil: on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.They see America as evil and white men at the pinnacle of that evil! That's so absurd it requires examination of their mental state. Instead, it is Democrats and The Left that are evil and racist. The truth is that the heart of racism in America is (black) Democrats!! Democrats have become the anti-white party in a nation of 70% white people! Hillary's campaign was massively racist, calling half of our nation every name in the book: xenophobic, racist, islamophobic, etc, etc. Condemning everyone who was a Trump supporter with the same generalization? That's literally the definition of racist!!
Their embrace of Marxist class warfare has torn this nation apart. Obama, like most black people who don't understand what made America great, was dedicated to weaken and divide this country. He and Hillary, disasters for this country, largely succeeded their intended destruction.
Leftists reject the truth of religion and mock others for their Christian views, but they are the worst sinners. They can't even follow the Ten Commandment's prohibition of "thou shall not covet your neighbor's house, your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." (that's 3 of the 10 commandments by the way.) The Left is our desperately envious of the wealthy and DO INDEED covet their neighbor's wealth. Hell Bernie Sanders wants a 90% top tax rate to confiscate his neighbor's wealth! They hate the rich, but so many are filthy rich themselves. Love of money is the root of all evil and Leftists love YOUR money.
Evil people can't change or self-reflect. It's because self-criticism is a call to personality change, but that's painful. Their old pattern has to go---like a death. This applies to "normal people" too, but the evil are pathologically and rigidly attached to their status-quo which they regard as perfect. That's why evil people are so insecure; to them even considering a small change in their beloved selves represents a threat of total annihilation. And criticism or self-criticism of those who are evil is synonymous with the threat of extinction. It's intolerable!!
This is why The Left is so violent. Criticism threatens to topple their entire edifice of self-delusions. It's so scary to them that they would lash out violently instead. They want to kill the messenger. They literally would like to kill Trump. His truth-bombs hit too close to home. They are so afraid and insecure.
Paraphrasing M. Scott Peck, the evil attack others instead of facing their own failures. Spiritual growth requires the acknowledgement of one's need to grow. If we cannot make that acknowledgement, then we have no option except to attempt to eradicate the evidence of their imperfection. This applies to The Left. They want to kill the messenger. Kill Trump. Kill conservatives! And they mean it! It's very evil!
"Evil" people also need to maintain an appearance of being good. They intensely desire to appear good, but the "goodness" is really pretentious. That is why Peck calls them "People of the Lie." At some deep level, evil people have some understanding of their own evil nature, but they are desperately trying to escape that knowledge.
And that's why they reject Christianity. Christianity requires that we confess our numerous sins and ask forgiveness from a higher power. Evil people can't stand any self-examination either in a church pew, a confessional, or in psychological therapy. It's deeply threatening to them. They have a desperate need to escape self-examination and instead spend a lot of energy to trying to sweep their imperfection under the rug. It's this covering-up process, their attempt to hide from themselves, that is their source of wickedness. You can see how they would have no desire to go to church and be honest with themselves and God.
The Left (and evil people) are really suffering from a psychological and spiritual crisis and they are determined to avoid that very realization. Many on The Left need therapy and/or spiritual counsel, but they are rigidly unable to accept that. This is the sickness. Leftism is a sickness and is evil.

The extraordinary work of local women working in health care will be celebrated as part of this year's Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service's NAIDOC events.
Themed, "Because of Her, We Can", the celebrations will shine a spotlight on the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women working to improve the health and wellbeing of their communities.
Events will be held in 23 different locations across the DDHHS from 4 July to 20 July.
"This year's theme focuses on the roles Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have played, and continue to play, at community, local, state and national levels," DDHHS Executive Director Medical Services Dr Martin Byrne said.
"As leaders, trailblazers, politicians, activists and social change advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have fought and continue to fight, for justice, equal rights, rights to country, for law and justice, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate Indigenous culture, language, music and art.
"Here at the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service, more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women than ever before are working in our hospitals, aged-care facilities and in corporate or support roles."
Dr Byrne said it was a great opportunity for hospitals to showcase their facilities to the local community, while celebrating an important national event.
"The aim of the NAIDOC week events is to encourage community members to visit their local hospital or health service, breaking down the barriers which may ordinarily stop them from accessing health services in their time of need," he said.
"This year's theme has also allowed the health service to celebrate some extraordinary women who work for us and are making a positive difference to the health and wellbeing of their communities."

The final stop in my attempt to fabric-shop my way across SE Asia – Hoi An, Vietnam. Hoi An is known as the tailoring capitol of Vietnam (more on that coming soon!) so one would think that I should have been able to go on one last fabric binge, right? The obvious place to look would be the building in town called the "cloth market", right?
The cloth market is a market in a building on the east side of the main part of Hoi An. It's full of stalls of fabric, as one might expect from the name. Unfortunately, each stall had pretty much the same selection as the others around it and the touts were very, very aggressive. The fabric is really being sold as part of getting something custom tailored, and it usually took me a bit to get a price for a meter of fabric as they didn't understand that I didn't want something made for me – I wanted to make it myself. Because the economy of the fabric stalls are based on custom tailoring, nobody wanted me to buy the fabric and take it elsewhere for the tailoring, so the price quoted for a meter of fabric wasn't any less than the price of buying the fabric and having it made into a shirt. The quality of the fabrics generally weren't great and I even had one woman insisting that a cheap synthetic was actually silk by performing a burn test from fibers that I watched her pull off of a different fabric.
I did meet one very sweet vendor from whom I bought some wool coating (a rarity in Hoi An given the average temperature) and a nice synthetic charmeuse. She was thrilled to learn that I sewed and we had a great conversation about sewing and how hard it is to fit crotch seams. She was amazed that I sewed both women's dresses and tailored coats as there is a strong labor divide between tailors and dressmakers in Hoi An. Our conversation definitely made my trip to the cloth market worthwhile!
On the street Hùng Vương to the west of the main part of town, I found a cluster of fabric shops that were selling just fabric (and not sewing services) and local dressmakers would stop by on their scooters to pick up fabric for specific projects. They were packed to the gills and stacked from floor to ceiling with different fabrics covering a range of qualities and types of fabric. It actually took me quite a while to get the attention of one of the sellers to buy some fabric – I think they assumed that I was just a tourist wanting to look but didn't believe that I would actually buy anything. From what I could tell, none of the fabric is made in Vietnam, other than one specific lightweight Vietnamese silk available in a couple of colors, and the selection looks just like what I would find a big box fabric store back home (minus the quilting cottons).
If you're headed through Hoi An, the shops on Hùng Vương are worth stopping in. If you're used to shopping in the fashion districts of Los Angeles or New York, you won't find the fabric to be screaming good deals. But I paid a reasonable amount and I have a story to tell, so it was totally worth it!

Spring Framework
The Spring Framework is an open-source Java application framework that uses inversion of control(IoC) container for the Java platform. The frameworks can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform. It became most popular in the Java community as an alternative to, a replacement for, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) model. The Spring Framework consists of inversion of control(IoC), Aspect-oriented programming (AOP), Data Access (DA), Transaction Management (TM), Model View Controller (MVC).
Hibernate Framework
Hibernate is an open-source ORM (object-relational mapping) tool for the Java programming language is the main alternate framework JDBC. This framework provides the mapping of an object-oriented domain model to a relational database. Hibernate overcomes these shortcomings and builds to be the better source. This framework primary feature is mapping from Java classes to database tables and mapping from Java data types to SQL and
No-SQL database types. This also provides data query and retrieval facilities. It generates SQL calls and relieves the developer from the manual handling and object conversion of the result set.
Struts Framework
Struts are the most popular framework for developing Java-based web applications. Struts are being developed as an open-source project started by Apache Software Foundation. Struts framework is based on the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. This framework acts as a bridge between the application's Model and the web View. When a request is received, the Controller invokes an Action class. The Action class consults with the Model to examine or update the application's state.

Cristo Rey Boston High School is pleased to announce that Rosemary J. Powers has been named president of the school, effective Monday, August 12, 2019. Board of Trustees Chairman Harold E. Ebbighausen made the announcement, praising Powers as an accomplished senior executive with extensive skills in managing diverse teams and a long history of service in various state administrations.
"Rosemary comes to Cristo Rey Boston after a distinguished career serving under various state governors," said Ebbighausen. "Most recently, she held the position of deputy chief of staff for the Office of Rhode Island Governor Gina M. Raimondo. Rosemary is a person of faith who understands Cristo Rey Boston's unique mission, and the CRB community welcomes her warmly." In addition to her recent service in the Raimondo administration, Ms. Powers has also served under New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.
For Ms. Powers, the move truly represents a return to her roots. She grew up in Dorchester, and is a graduate of St. William's, the elementary school that formerly operated out of the current Cristo Rey Boston High School building. Rosemary continues to live in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester, in the home originally owned by her grandparents. She has two adult children, Tierney & Colm Flaherty. She is a proud graduate of Suffolk University, and received her master's in public administration from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
"This is a homecoming for me," said Powers. "I'm delighted to be back in Boston. It's an opportunity to bring my career experience to a philanthropic endeavor that I am passionate about. My career has been based on affecting change in communities, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to transform the educational experience for students from my own community."

She is a highly respected professional with expertise in the transportation, energy and environmental sectors who is skilled in operations and budget management. Rosemary also possesses extensive experience in Governmental Affairs. Most recently, Rosemary was the Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Gina M. Raimondo, with oversight of the agencies in the Energy, Environment and Transportation portfolio. She was the point person in the administration for the development of the offshore wind industry and led, for Governor Raimondo, efforts to invest and decarbonize the transportation network, including regional rail service, adoption of electric buses by the public transit agency and the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI). Rosemary came to Rhode Island after spending several years in Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's administration. There, she was a Senior Advisor at the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority, (NYSERDA), where she led and directed New York State's engagement in the Transportation Climate Initiative, (TCI). Previously, Rosemary was the Deputy Director of State Operations for Governor Cuomo, responsible for all the operations and policy development for the transportation, energy, environment and civil rights agencies. Rosemary joined Governor Cuomo's office after serving as the Chief Operating Officer of the New York State Department of Transportation. Rosemary has long demonstrated interest in politics and government service.

The state of Connecticut, once known as the insurance capital of the world, has been trying to woo health insurer Aetna with incentives to stay in the state, Governor Dannel Malloy said on Wednesday.
His remarks came in response to reports that the insurance giant was considering moving out of the state, which would be a blow to Connecticut and its capital, Hartford, both of which already face tenuous fiscal and economic futures.
Last year, General Electric said it was leaving its longtime home in Fairfield, Connecticut, for a Boston location.
Connecticut was recently downgraded by the three biggest Wall Street credit rating agencies over concerns about its dimming economy and an April tax revenue shortfall that have rattled its budget.
Hartford is facing its own deficit and has been in talks with bankruptcy lawyers about possible representation, according to local news reports.
In a statement, Aetna said it was in negotiations with several states about a relocation of its headquarters, "with the goal of broadening our access to innovation and the talent that will fill knowledge economy-type positions."
"We remain committed to our Connecticut-based employees and the Hartford campus, and hope to have a final resolution by early summer," it said.
Malloy said he believed the "vast majority of the 5,800 jobs in Connecticut will stay here, and that they could continue to choose Connecticut as their regulator," according to prepared remarks.
"My administration has met and spoken with senior Aetna leadership multiple times in recent months," the Democratic governor said. The state made "formal offers" of direct incentives, "including matching anything put on the table from a competing state."
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin took a less optimistic tone in statements on Wednesday, saying: "I think it is clear that Aetna decided a long time ago to relocate their corporate headquarters out of Connecticut."
"Losing Aetna's flag is a hard blow for the state and for the greater Hartford region," he said.

Man At Arms Forges Ichigo's Trademark Blade from Bleach, the Zangetsu
The latest weapon to be created on Man At Arms by master swordsmith Tony Swatton is Ichigo's zanpakuto, Zangetsu. Bleach is a popular anime and manga series about the Soul Reaper chronicles of Ichigo Kurosaki, which has since spawned countless video games.
Overall the weapon will be about 72 inches long, mostly made of Spring Steel. He has to bathe the steel in salt baths to make sure that it doesn't become warped while he's forging it. A Tig Welder is used for the handle. The sharp portion of the blade will be polished while the remaining part will be oxidized black. This matches the distinctive look of Zangetsu in the series. The handle, which has an aluminum plate, is wrapped in Stingray skin (called Honzame) in a process similar to actual Katana forges. White leather is wrapped around the blade to look like the wrapping on Zangetsu and a silk ribbon will come out the back of the handle.
Watch the video below to see the entire process in full.

Kingma System® Acoustics
This new design allows the Kingma System player to perform in remarkable new ways.
The first and most obvious possibility for the flautist is to play accurate quartertone scales.
While a French model flute can produce quarter steps by venting the open holes and shading certain notes with alternative fingerings, the Kingma System flute
is able to play a complete chromatic quartertone scale through all the registers.
It is possible to half-vent every key on the Kingma System, not just the open hole keys.
This means that the flautist can now play accurately all of the quarter steps from e.g. F# to G #or from Bb to D.
This aspect of the flute makes nonwestern types of music far more accessible to any player, and also provides some interesting special effects for the jazz player.
The second acoustic advantage of this instrument is its ability to produce unique multiphonics.
Because the flute is able to vent all the normally covered keys, chromatic progressions of multi-phonics can be produced.
As a result of this, there are some marvelous compositional opportunities built into this flute.
It is possible, for example, to play "triple stops," starting with fundamentals in the low register and moving chromatically up
the scale with "triple stops" as keys are sequentially vented.
The practiced player can play not only chromatic scales on this flute, but chromatic quarter-steps and chromatic multiphonics as well.

For the first time, Longines associates its name to the Longines Balve Optimum
Last week, Longines was proud to take part for the first time in the Longines Balve Optimum as its Title Partner, Official Watch and Official Timekeeper. This Show jumping and Dressage competition takes place every summer since 1948 in the German city of Balve. This year, the equestrian event was held from June 13 to June 16.
Longines Marketing Vice President, Matthieu Baumgartner commented: "We are especially proud to associate our name with the Longines Balve Optimum. This new partnership reinforces our long-lasting passion for the equestrian universe, which dates back one century and half. More particularly, we, at Longines, attach a great importance to support events that are aligned with our core values of tradition, elegance and performance, which are perfectly embodied by the Longines Balve Optimum."
On Sunday, 16 June, the Dressage rider Isabell Werth and her mount Emilio 107 claimed the title of the Longines Grosser Optimum Preis. Later that day, Felix Hassmann and his horse Cayenne WZ won the Longines Optimum Preis show jumping competition. To celebrate their victory, Longines was proud to present the two winners with elegant timepieces.
The spectators present in Balve had the opportunity to discover the Official Watch of the event: a model from the HydroConquest Collection. Combining technical excellence and traditional elegance both hallmarks of the winged hourglass brand, this line features a bezel enhanced with a coloured ceramic insert adding a touch of brilliance and modern styling.

WASHINGTON — Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the influential chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee who was once considered for a spot in President Donald Trump's Cabinet, is weighing whether to call it quits next year.
Corker told CNN last week that he has not made a decision about his future, and appeared to confirm President Trump's tweet that he asked the President for political advice about whether to run for reelection.
"As far as what am I going to do in the future, I'm still contemplating the future," Corker said in an interview. "It's a tremendous privilege to do what I do, and to weigh in on the big issues. … But I have not decided what I'm going to do in the future."
If Corker, 65, were to retire, it'd be a huge surprise in the Senate given his perch sitting atop a powerful committee, his alliance with the Senate leadership and the fact that he's only in his second term. Plus it would give Democrats a new shot to pick up another Senate seat, although it still would be an uphill climb given that the state is still a solid GOP stronghold.
A source familiar with Corker's thinking said the Republican is legitimately torn about whether to remain in the body another six years or to return to his roots in the business sector.
But the source said Corker is taking steps to prepare for a run, raising money for a bid with more than $7 million in cash on hand. Plus, he's hired a seasoned political operative as a general consultant, Ward Baker, who led the GOP's Senate campaign committee in the party's successful 2016 election cycle.
Still, it's unclear to people close to Corker whether he will run or call it quits — or when he will make a final decision. And, the source said, the senator has spoken to many people about his deliberations, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is urging him to run again.

Photos by: Amanda Wiggins, Staff Photograper
There are many students who arrive at school and realize they have forgotten a pencil, highlighter, or poster board, then start stressing because they do not want a zero or a late assignment in a class. If you ever come to school unprepared for the day there is now a solution.
The daily announcements read, "Hello all! Do you ever come to school without a pencil? Ever need a hair tie ASAP? Phone dead and you forgot your charger? Come on down to The Shield Shack, a store run by students for students. Get your spirit wear, school supplies, and electronic desires! Opening today!"
The store, called The Shield Shack, opened Wednesday December 3rd and is available before and after school. It is located across the cafeteria and by the auditorium doors. Ms. Ousley's Entrepreneurship class is in charge of the Shield Shack and she is the sponsor.
Ms. Ousley said, ¨The Shield Shack will be open for the rest of the year. Our current hours of operation are through third block (so that we can serve students on every lunch) and SRT. Following Christmas Break, we will have our 'Grand Opening' and be open from 8-8:30 in the morning in addition to our lunchtime hours.¨
Shelbi Webb, 11, said, ¨I think it is a great idea to have a small store for students. I believe if a student carries money with them they will use the store when they forget something.¨
So if you ever forget an item you need, whether for yourself or a class, stop by The Shield Shack.

As a person who is very vary of buying clothes on line because of my figure, I just was very surprised to find that after having my sizes checked with a friend I went through the very easy steps in buying my very first dress on line. I found that all the instructions very easy to follow and before even three weeks had past I had received my dress. I opened the box and found the dress to be exactly as the photo. So I tried it on and got my husband to zip it up for me. At my age finding that right dress for a very big award nights can sometimes be an unhappy event. But as I turned to face my husband his first words were WOW you look lovely. Comments like that don't happen very often. I new I had chosen well with my Black Sheath Sweetheart Short/Mini Chiffon Lace Cocktail Dress. The sizes were right, the delivery was quick and above all else the price was fantastic. Thank you for making my night. Lesley
I will forward a picfure after my awards night.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) deficiency during angiogenesis of pulmonary alveolar capillaries in mice and to determine the molecular mechanisms involved.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The expressions of MTA1, CD34, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and HIF-1α were analyzed in the lungs of MTA1-knockout (KO) and wild-type mice at embryonic day 18.5 and 2 months by quantitative PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. The morphological changes were investigated during pulmonary alveolar capillary formation. The heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) ratio and the size of the right ventricular wall cardiomyocytes were also measured. Regulation of MTA1 on HIF-1α was determined in vitro.
RESULTS: MTA1 deficiency reduced the number of pulmonary alveolar capillaries compared to the wild-type mice. MTA1-KO mice exhibited a decreased expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in the lungs. The retarded growth of the MTA1-KO mice was also noticed during the first week after birth. Accordingly, MTA1 deficiency resulted in increased infant mortality. In surviving adult mice, MTA1 deficiency induced myocardial hypertrophy, highlighted by an increased heart weight/body weight ratio and larger cardiomyocytes. In cultured cells, HIF-1α and VEGF levels were significantly upregulated upon MTA1 overexpression, suggesting a close relationship between all 3 molecules.
CONCLUSIONS: MTA1 participates in the formation of pulmonary capillaries via stabilization of HIF-1α. This finding sheds new light on the function of MTA1 in lung development, opening new avenues for the diagnosis/treatment of related pulmonary diseases.

Conservation Officers are clarifying how to deal with bear cubs, after the controversial death of a Whistler cub three weeks ago.
"Sylvia Dolson from the Get Bear Smart Society and I have been chatting over the last couple of weeks, along with consultations I have been doing with staff on this topic," said Lance Sundquist, manager of Conservation Officers in the south coast region.
Sundquist said the discussions have led him to advise staff that if a conflict mother bear is destroyed, her orphaned cub should be sent to a rehab facility, as long as the facilities have space to receive it.
While previous guidance stated abandoned or orphaned bear cubs should be sent to rehab facilities, it did not clarify what should be done with orphaned conflict cubs.
Dolson said her organization is very pleased that the Ministry of Environment has reviewed and clarified its policy.
"Scientists have told us that orphaned cubs or cubs of conflict mothers are no more likely to get into conflict situations than any other bear. So giving these cubs a second chance of life in the wild, really at no cost to the taxpayers, it is the right thing to do," said Dolson.
Three weeks ago a sow, named Juniper, and her seven-month-old cub, Beari, were shot by RCMP and Conservation officers after the pair had broken into a residence in Whistler Cay. The shooting of the cub, in particular, drew outrage from some residents.
Conservation Officers will use the clarified guidance until the Ministry of Environment finishes a more comprehensive review on the bear cub rehab policy.
According to Sundquist, the review will look at what criteria should be used to evaluate bear cubs, especially when it comes time to release cubs from rehab, and who should be in charge of the evaluation.
Michael Allen, a bear researcher in Whistler, agrees that a more in depth review on sending cubs to rehab needs to be taken.
"I think cubs should be sent to rehab only if they are going to be monitored after, because we need to see if rehab works," said Allen.
"I don't think it hurts anything to try. I am all for rehab if they monitor the cub after. But if they don't monitor the cub, then I think it is a dangerous approach to take," he said.
Allen said that if cubs die or get into trouble after they are released, then the money spent on rehab is better spent on proactive measures like better education and bear proofing garbage.
"If the energy and the commitment is there to rehab it, then the energy and commitment should be there to monitor it and determine the outcome," he said.
According to Allen, the survival rate for cubs is high in Whistler at 80 per cent.
"I think it is important to clarify with the public that there is no shortage of cubs here. And when we have 46 cubs produced in two years, you need to accept mortality in the population," said Allen.
He added that if you look at the public outcry towards Juniper and her cub being killed, everybody was upset about the cub and not many people were upset about the mother.
Dolson also said the public needs to understand that they share in the responsibility of the bears' deaths because of their negligence in dealing with garbage.
"The onus always comes back to the people in the community and preventing conflict from occurring in the first place. All these other measures are reactive, and prevention is absolutely the way we need to go," said Dolson.
She added that GBS is stepping up their bear education at this time through posters and door-to-door campaigning.
