With any fitness class, I recommend you arrive early to meet the instructor so they know your name and that it's your first time. Any decent instructor will be glad they know your name and will help you make sure your spin bike is adjusted for your comfort and safety.
As always, it's very important to dress right. Since these classes can be a really sweaty workout, you will want to wear light apparel. Avoid any sort of sweat pants or hoodies as they will cause you to lose a lot of water and can cause over heating.
Some people like to use their padded bike shorts and if you have these they would be ideal for comfort.
If you also have a pair of biking shoes with stiff souls that can snap into the SPD pedals then those are also ideal. If you don't have bike shoes simple running or cross trainers will also work fine. Be sure you also wear socks when you ride to avoid blisters and chaffing on your feet.
Because you will lose so much water during the class you certainly want to bring a good size water bottle. If you can, bring a bottle that will fit into the water bottle holder. SIGG bottles and Nalgenes typically don't fit very well causing you to put them on the floor and making it tough to stay hydrated.
Finally, remember that you are in control of everything you do during the class. Your bike is your own and no one is going to force you to adjust the resistance beyond what you are comfortable with. So even if the instructor tells everyone to give the resistance knob 100 cranks, you don't have to if you know it's beyond your abilities. The bottom line is that you are in control so don't feel pressured to do anything you are not capable of.
Have fun! Indoor cycling is all about feeling good and basically dancing on your bike to the music.
* Some instructors play their music louder than you might like. If you are new to a class or a new instructor you might want to bring a pair of ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud music.
* If you are very new to indoor clycling, you can probably try out a spin bike for a few minutes outside of a class. This will help you get a feel for the bike and help you make a decision if it's the right kind of exercise for you before you commit to a full class.
Be fit and live free,

There are 3 main options: 2 piece, Solid (1 piece) and Solid Drift.
The first is our oldest style arm based on the 2 piece arms from European rally heydays. This arm offers a huge amount of caster/camber adjustment and the arm is easy to fix when damaged. Most of the time to get your arm back in order a cheap compression strut is all that's needed. We mainly recommend the 2 piece arms for road race cars that have the means to test and fine tune their car.
The solid arms are great for road or rally. These are very solid and are built to fit in the stock location with the ability to shim the wheel forward 20mm or more if needed. These arms don't allow for giant rims at high steering angles. The rear mount of this arm is a 1 inch com bearing; it is massive!
The "Solid-Drift" arm matches our rear-wheel-drive set up to meet the increasing demand of Subaru drifters. This is an epic option allowing for tons of wheel angle. They are not light weight control arm. A very thick-walled tube is required to make up for the amount of "cut-in" needed to allow high steering angles.
After choosing your arm style, the next option will be your bearing on the knuckle side of the arms. We can sell a pin and bearing that will lower the steering geometry about 1.75 inches OR we can press in an aluminum puck that will use the stock Subaru ball joint. This will be useful for cars that have aftermarket roll center kits, don't have a drastically lowered right height and want strong arms with near stock geometry.
We offer 4 widths from stock GD width to 60 mm wider. All the arms are adjustable somewhat, but if you have a special application these sizes are for you. We stress that the inner DOJ/CV will not last or work at all over 20mm wider on the car and even at 20 there is a huge risk.
Powder coating: We are not discontinuing as originally thought, but this is a service we would like to keep and give you many options as possible. You can send your color directly to us. The added cost to powder-coat will be $75 for any color we have on hand or you provide. Colors that take more than one coat will be charged another $40 per added coat.

The Desert
Posted by Doogoo doogii Posted on 12:28 AM with No comments
People living in desert or arid terrain have been responsible towards conserving water as they
know its value more than others. Plants and animals have naturally adapted themselves to store water and use it minimally as needed.
When it comes to unsustainable growth of tourism, a large concentration of people in one place takes its toll on the already low water table.Larger Impact: In areas where the water table is low, it is necessary to keep the settlements distributed. Avoid larger metropolitans that demand huge supplies of water. Large amounts of water pumped out of the ground can lead to subsidence, or collapsing of land.
Contribution as a traveller: Use water judiciously in daily activities like bathing. Find alternate places to stay like homestays rather than big hotels that mostly use resources inefficiently. Skip big cities often and diversify areas to travel, thus reducing massive pressure to deliver your needs.Read more...

While additive manufacturing and 3D printing have achieved notoriety for their abilities to manufacture complex three-dimensional parts, the state of the art is not truly three-dimensional. Rather, the process plans rely on a stack of discretized two-dimensional layers. Discretization of smooth, freeform features results in printed parts with stair-stepped surfaces, increasing the total volumetric error of the part and potentially diminishing the intended performance of functional surfaces. By performing process planning in a fully three-dimensional domain, as opposed to the 2.5D status quo, the capabilities of additive manufacturing are enhanced and the technologies can be more fully leveraged by designers and manufacturers.

The NY Indie Theatre Film Festival presents work from New York City theatre artists defying labels and branching out into recorded media.
Each year we present over 30 short films, documentaries, music videos, and web series episodes, all created by downtown New York City theatre artists.
The NYITFF is produced by New Ohio Theatre, located on Christopher Street, in Manhattan's West Village. For more info about us, visit newohiotheatre.org
Please read this section carefully!
The NYITFF showcases film/video/web content created by NYC theatre artists.
At least one Primary Creative Artist for the film/video/web content must be a Theatre Artist working in New York City.
Primary Creative Artist for the content means writer, director, or producer. "Does the theatre artist involved own the content?" is a question we will examine.
Theatre Artist is defined as:
Actor, Director, Designers, Producers: 1 production in the five boroughs of NYC since 2017. Student productions are NOT eligible.
Playwrights: 1 production, workshop, reading in the five boroughs of NYC since 2017. Student productions are NOT eligible.
We want to see theatre artists stretching themselves, trying new things. Perhaps things they don't have extensive training for. Or maybe they do, but they also have a body of theatre work, as well.
Film artists have many festivals where they can have their work screened. This festival is for NY theatre artists. That makes sense, right?
We understand that "created by theatre artists" is a little vague, and the determination of New Ohio Theatre is final. Application fees are non-refundable.
Online submissions are required, either via a password protected Vimeo link or uploaded directly to FilmFreeway.
While the NYITFF does not require submissions to be world premieres or New York City premieres, we will prioritize the acceptance of submissions which are premieres.
Works-in-progress are accepted. Incomplete projects must be clearly labeled. Films should be marked as either a "Rough Cut" or "Work In Progress". All incomplete materials or changes to be made should be clearly indicated (ex: temporary sound, no color-correction).
The entrant may update their screener up until the final deadline, as long as the link and password for the submission remains the same. However, NYITFF is only responsible for considering the project as it exists at the time of review.
No updated cuts will be accepted after the final submission deadline. If selected, the final version of the film must be available by January 6, 2020.
The New York Indie Theatre Film Festival does not pay screening fees. By submitting your content, you acknowledge that the festival will not pay to present your work.
By entering your film for consideration to the New York Indie Theatre Film Festival, you authorize that your work is cleared for festival exhibition and accept full legal responsibility for the intellectual property therein. The submitter and all filmmakers associated with the project shall indemnify and hold harmless the New York Indie Theatre Film Festivall, New Ohio Theatre, and any representative or affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees, and costs of the court) which may be incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits, publicity, screening, and loss of or damage to the screening videos entered.
Should your film be accepted in the New York Indie Theatre Film Festival, you grant NYITFF the right to utilize an excerpt from any film submitted and accepted for exhibition at the Festival for promotional purposes.
All accepted films will screen at least once during the festival, with the option of an encore screening for select films/shorts blocks. All scheduling is purely at the discretion of NYITFF staff.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will refrain from addressing his side's defensive frailties in the January transfer window due to the significant overhaul in strategy required to arrest their plight. Only Manchester City have conceded more goals in the Premier League's top-seven this season, with the 3-2 defeat to Swansea City highlighting the deep-rooted problems currently affecting the Reds.
Klopp's men trailed leaders Chelsea by 10 points and despite Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip having been rotated this term, the German coach has been unable to fashion out a successful formula at the back. Goalkeepers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have also been rotated this term with neither stopper having convinced between the sticks.
Former Liverpool players Steven Gerrard and Jan Molby have urged Klopp to ramp up the club's interest in Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk, who has been linked with a £50m move to Manchester City according to the Daily Mail. But Klopp says solving his side's problems is not as simple as signing one player, otherwise he would already have done it.
"The final mistake is sometimes goalkeeper or defender, but most of the time it's seven or eight players," he told reporters, according to the Liverpool Echo. "It's not about one player. It's clear what we did wrong and we really have to do better. We made other mistakes than not scoring enough goals.
"We scored enough goals to win the games, I speak about the whole defensive work of the team, if it was that easy to buy one player then all the problems are solved. I would be silly not to do it! I knew about the problems we had after the Christmas period."
With Liverpool's hopes of capturing a first league title since 1990 looking distant, the focus now turns to the English Football League Cup where the Merseysiders must overturn a one-goal deficit against Southampton in the semi-final second-leg to progress to February's final at Wembley. Klopp's men will be able to call on captain Jordan Henderson for the tie at Anfield despite the England international continuing to suffer from a heel injury.
"It's similar (to last season) but different," the Liverpool boss added. "We don't train a lot between games. We know a bit more about it. Instead of running, he is on a bike. That is maybe the only difference. He always feels a little bit but he can cope with it."

Here is a orthophoto, Dropbox - Ortofoto 190208.tif , this photo is making trouble for us. It is from Agisoft and all of our orthophotos is from Agisoft.
I started a new project and imported the file and just saw a fram for the picture. Tried to turn it on and of but it dsid not help. Closed the project and restarted, voila!, the photo was there. But only for a few minutes until it disapeared again and the it dit not show up. Restart did not help. Open the project on a another computer did not help either.
We started a new project and imported the file again, it worked at first but after some time it disapeared again, just a frame left. Restart the project and then it worked for about 10 minutes again until it disapeared. Now we cant see it and it does not help to restart.
This is really strange because i have other orthophotos wich is over 1GB so the size should not be a problem. We have the same problem on 2 different computers.

What is Metasploit? Do you use Metasploit? What value is there for Security professionals to use Metasploit? If you work in information security you have likely heard similar questions. In this talk, we will introduce the basic concepts behind Metasploit that will help answer these questions. We will also demonstrate scenarios where Metasploit Framework can expose weakness in an environment to better highlight risks.
In the last year, some new offensive techniques have made their way into Metasploit modules, let's look at how things like persistence methods can leverage the defenders tools to maintain access. If you just want to probe for access, without a full shell, how about trying out pingback payloads? Want to fly under the radar? Give encrypted shells a try.
This session will be held by Jeffrey Martin (@Op3n4M3). Jeffrey is a Lead Software Engineer at Rapid7, working on Metasploit. He has over a decade of experience working in various segments of computer security, including system administration, development of security software, hardening security features in mobile devices and assurance of data protection on associated networks.
In this session we will explore;
- What is Metasploit and the building blocks.
- Discuss the major components of Metasploit and how they interact.
- Demo metasploit being used to exploit a vulnerable target.
- "The New Shiny" with demos.
- Showcase some of the ideas for improvement.
- A few tips on items sometimes overlooked.
Kom og lær fra en hovedutviklerene på hva Metasploit virkelig er, og hvordan Metasploit kan hjelpe deg til å finne de skjulte svakhetene i dine systemer.

Storage tanks which stores concentrated acid are used in production and further processing of aggressive media and need to meet different requirements.
Alloyplas is able to consult and assist with your design and build customised storage tanks to suit your exact process critical requirements – round cylindrical or rectangular tank.
We have the capability and experience to fabricate most of the thermoplastic available, especially the more popularly used Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CVPC), Polypropylene (PP) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
With state of the art facilities and equipments in-house, Alloyplas is able to ensure the best quality to our customers where it matters:
CAD – Latest computer drawing system to draw out the detail required for the customised request
CNC – Computer aided routing machine capable of machining up to 2m x 4m size for precision cut out
Fusion – Computer aided butt fusion machine to ensure reliability and consistency of the tank
We build tanks from diameter of 0.5m to 3.0m and height of up to 4m. All Alloyplas fully plastic tanks are designed as per DVS 2205 standard and fabricated according to DVS 2207.
Apart from fully plastic tanks, Alloyplas is also capable of making tanks in Dual Laminate type. Due to the weaker mechanical properties of thermoplastic, designing of large or higher temperature tanks can be very difficult and especially costly.
Dual Laminate construction combines the superior chemical resistance of thermoplastics with the greater mechanical strength and flexibility of fiberglass. The inner liner (thermoplastic) is thermoformed and welded and then the FRP is chemically or mechanically bonded to it.
With Dual Laminate, this allow us to provide a wider and better range of chemical resistance compatibility. Alloyplas have the capability and experience to fabricate Dual Laminated tanks with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CVPC), Polypropylene (PP), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Ethylene ChloroTriFluoroEthylene (ECTFE).
All of Alloyplas Dual Laminate tanks are fabricated according to DVS 2207 for the inner liner while the outer structural reinforcement of FRP is designed and built to BS4994-87 and ASTM D3299.
Dual Laminate construction combines the superior chemical resistance of thermoplastics (Corrosion Barrier) with the greater mechanical strength and flexibility of FRP (Outer Structure).
This system allows a reliable and effective combination of the dissimilarities of each individual material and also enhances the performance of each component while minimising the individual weakness. This ensures a longer and more reliable working life span for more aggressive chemical and environment applications.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Diego Chaves scored on a rebound in the 81st minute to lift the Chicago Fire to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night in the regular season finale for both teams.
Rookie defender Jalil Anibaba scored his first two career goals - both in the first half - for the Fire (9-9-16), who won for the seventh time in their last 10 games but still missed the postseason.
Emilio Renteria got his eighth goal in the 73rd minute and Dilly Duka tied the score in the 79th for the Crew (13-13-8), who missed out on securing the Eastern Conference title and homefield advantage. Columbus, now third in the East, could fall into a wild-card spot pending results of Sunday's games.
Anibaba's first goal came in the 11th minute as he skipped a shot off his head past Crew goalie William Hesmer. He scored again in the 29th on a similar play following a long feed from defender Cory Gibbs.
The goals broke a seasonlong drought for Anibaba, who last scored in a U.S. Open Cup tournament game in March.
Chicago goalie Sean Johnson turned shots three shots while Hesmer had five saves for Columbus.

Guinea-Bissau's NAP was launched in 2010 for the period 2010-2011. As of November 2016, no new NAP has been presented. The development of the NAP was led by Comite de Pilotagem Nactional (IMC). Civil society, women's organizations, and international organizations helped in the development of Guinea Bissau's NAP.
During the late 1990's, Guinea-Bissau had a bloody conflict that cost the lives of thousands of people, mostly women and children. During this conflict there were serious violations of the fundamental rights of women and international humanitarian law. Women were exposed to sexual abuse, physical and psychological assaults, looting carried out by the troops of the warring parties. These acts were never punished. In recent years, there has been fear of renewed instability, but efforts are underway by civil society, and in particular women's organizations, to sustain peace in search of sustainable development.
From a recent academic analysis: Guinea-Bissau's NAP shows a preoccupation with the lack of women's participation in national peacekeeping efforts and conflict resolution situations. The Implementation Plan delineates measures to increase women's representation in national decision-making organisms as well as international security and conflict resolution forums (Miller, Pournik, & Swaine, 2014).

Who is to blame for New Zealand attack? PewDiePie, say checkmarks, media Of course.
Tragedy struck Christchurch, New Zealand yesterday after a 28-year-old eco-fascist opened fire on worshipers at two separate mosques during midday local time, killing dozens of them. The shooter livestreamed his atrocity on Facebook and uploaded a manifesto to 8chan, both of which referenced a large number of memes.
One of these memes, mentioned well before the actual rampage and while still in his car, was the ubiquitous "subscribe to PewDiePie." PewDiePie, as most of you know, is the world's most popular youtuber and staple object of media and blue checkmark hate.
So, of course, the inevitable happened.
Andrew Todd, a New Zealand-based film critic and journalist, was the first to lash out against PewDiePie following the tragedy. In a series of tweets, Todd blamed PewDiePie for the shooter's actions, stating that the internet is "1000 percent a vehicle for right-wing radicalization" and placed the blame squarely on the youtuber, who does not do political videos.
Todd received the attention he ordered, garnering over 30,000 likes on his tweet, which has since been repeated, regurgitated, and rephrased by countless other virtue signaling media hacks on social media, who are once again playing right into the hands of the shooter, whose intention it is to widen the cultural divide between the left and right and make impossible any sort of sensible discussion on immigration and culture without being pegged as an extremist.
Onision, one of YouTube's biggest social parasites, was also quick to blame PewDiePie for the tragedy and told his legion of fans that saying "Subscribe to PewDiePie" marks "one of the most horrible mass shootings in history."
Tariq Nasheed upgraded the comedy youtuber to a "suspected white supremacist."
Not only did the #NewZealandTerroristAttack suspect mention the name of a suspected white supremacist youtuber Pewdiepie before he carried out his attack, he is in court flashing the white power hand signal. And Pewdiepie is known to flash the same hand sign. What a coincidence pic.twitter.com/qLJpLXjglf

The Chapo Trap House subreddit is now filled with anti-PewDiePie commentary. One of many front-paged posts points out that PewDiePie follows a number of conservative pundits and figures on Twitter, including Ben Shapiro, Stefan Molyneux, Brittany Pettibone, Paul Joseph Watson, Jordan Peterson, and Lauren Southern.
Another post blames him for "pandering" to the alt-right and being surprised when he's namedropped by a literal fascist — further perpetuating the prevalent lie that PewDiePie is a political extremist. The subreddit is filled with numerous posts with hundreds, if not thousands of upvotes blaming PewDiePie.
Big media of course also wanted in on the action, with Kotaku being among the first to do so, penning an article titled "New Zealand Gunman Says Subscribe to PewDiePie moments before livestreaming shooting." The article, written by Alex Walker, did nothing to dissuade readers from jumping to the conclusion that PewDiePie was somehow responsible for the tragedy.
Paste Magazine, among others, also led the story with a headline implicating PewDiePie in the attacks, because heaven forbid that the YouTuber isn't somehow responsible for everything bad that ever happens.
Discussion on the topic also extended to the cesspool of video game discussion — the ResetEra forums — where users are now being banned for expressing any sort of support for PewDiePie at all. The prevailing narrative on there is that PewDiePie is to blame for the shooting, and even his message of support for the victims is being decried as a lie. It's kind of the worst.
For his part, PewDiePie released a statement on the matter.
Much to his credit, Felix did not center the tragedy around himself nor did he go on the offensive against anyone in the media for attempting to rope him into the situation despite being unfairly blamed for it.
It is not deplorable to defend PewDiePie or anyone else mentioned by the Christchurch shooter. You aren't taking away from the suffering of the victims, whose concern remains the utmost priority — but you are limiting the fallout intended by the shooter. That's not a bad thing.
What matters now is preventing a repeat of the tragedy by acting to inhibit the growth of social and political divisions, seeds of which were sowed by the shooter and nurtured by parasites with radical political agendas.
I think it was a distraction operation from Israel to use as a cover for the killings going on in #gaza
That's retarded dude
You are just a bitch because u are a supporter of the gently caressing t-series,so i have this message for u: gently caress everyone who is supporting t-series and should be mentioned in the 155M+ Viewers Song,THE LEGEND'S BITCH LASGNA
Actually makes me sad to see this happening. Every god damn time something bad happens and is related to pewdiepie, media blames him inmediately. Must be rough to be a popular youtuber these days. Must be rough to be a youtuber at all these days.
It really is time to subscribe to pewdiepie.

Indianapolis Colts
Who are these guys and what happened to the Colts we know? These guys have lost three in a row now, unprecedented waters. Week after week, fans expect Indianapolis to win but not this year.
Sunday the Colts lost to the Cowboys who were doing so bad that they fired their head coach Wade Phillips weeks ago. The Colts lost in OT 38-35 in a very emotional late game.
Peyton Manning struggles have continued. He's thrown 11 interceptions to eight touchdown in the last three weeks. Also, two picks have been returned for touchdowns in each of the last two weeks.
He admitted today that they can only move the ball when they pass. That's a lot of pressure. There's absolutely no running game so he has had to pass, forcing him to throw in places that are covered.
In the first nine games of the season, Manning threw just four interceptions. He is trying to do way to much at this point, overcompensating for a team that's torn up by injuries. Jerraud Powers is the next crucial Colt injured. The Colts already have 14 players on injured reserve. His season may be done after exiting late in the game with a broken right arm. The other starting cornerback Kelvin Hayden was already inactive for Sunday's game.
Taj Smith had a monster game in his first regular season appearance. He was on the practice squad in the preseason but had a hamstring injury since. The Colts resigned him this week and Sunday Smith scored on a block punt, and forced a fumble on a Cowboys kickoff return.
The Colts have four regular season games remaining and they all are big. A quick turnaround this week will be challenging, facing the Titans Thursday night. Four games, three divisions games, all must-win.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers returned home this weekend from a four game road trip. The blue and gold split the four games, winners of the first two against the Lakers and Sacramento. The Lakers win was especially big after just beating the Heat on the road six days earlier.
The Utah loss was not a big shock but the team gave up a potential win at Phoenix. Indiana led most of the way but a lack of focus, and maybe a bit anxious to return home cost the Pacers from going a strong 3-1 on the first big road trip.
This week features four games, two at home and two on the road. All against formidable opponents and matchups that favor the Pacers. They should take care of both Toronto and Charlotte at home. This young core is coming together and putting a special tag on this team.
The Pacers are currently seventh in the conference and second in the division behind Chicago at 9-9.
Indiana Football
Nothing new on this front. The big news continues to be the head coaching vacancy. Now a week removed from the firing of Bill Lynch, athletic director Fred Glass has interviewed multiple candidates and I expect more to come this week. Glass will do his research and background checks but I believe he will pick a guy that can take this program to the next level.
I refuse to speculate who IU should or will pick because that's merely a waste of words. Nobody knows for sure what or who Glass is looking for. Minnesota announced the hiring of Northern Illinois head coach Jerry Kill Sunday. The sooner an announcement for Indiana allows the new coach more time to recruit and gain ground in the state.
Indiana Basketball
The Hoosiers split a pair of games this week. First 88-76 at Boston College in the Hoosiers' first true test and first road game. Despite the loss, they rallied and believed in themselves throughout the game. Unlike the past two seasons, IU went back and forth with the opponent in a close game and didn't foil. However BC countered every Indiana run.
Saturday Indiana topped Savannah State 79-57 in a rather boring game. Verdell Jones continues to be the strong leader for IU and Maurice Creek looks stronger with every game. This team is shaping up very nicely with Christian Watford and freshman Victor Oladipo. Oladipo is the crowd favorite, providing a spark with his dunks and blocks as the first player off the bench.
Indiana has a week off until their next opponent Saturday, traveling down to Rupp Arena to face the Kentucky Wildcats. No. 11 Kentucky is coming off a loss to North Carolina and plays Wednesday against Notre Dame prior to hosting the Hoosiers.
Worthy of mention
Two other big wins at Indiana University this weekend.
First, the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA sweet 16 for the first time in program history. The Hoosiers at 23-11 are an exciting team to watch. Friday IU topped No. 19 University of Miami in five sets, and followed that up with another five setter Saturday against 11th-ranked Tennessee. The All-American Ashley Benson absolutely kills the ball and destroys the opponent.
Sherry Dunbar has really built this program from the bottom up. The Hoosiers face USC Friday in Dayton, Ohio at 4 pm.
Secondly, the women's basketball team earned another huge program win knocking off a future Big Ten opponent. IU defeated 19th ranked Nebraksa 67-61. The win broke the Huskers 37 regular season game win streak. That Nebraska team won 30 games in a row last year, and was a number one seed in the NCAA tournament last year. Another quality win for IU, their third in a row and in front a national television audience on the Big Ten Network.
Coach Jack's team returns to the the court Thursday hosting Miami of Ohio to Assembly Hall. I will be calling the game live on the BigTenNetwork.com and it will air on the network Friday at 2 pm. Tune in if you can.

Despite drawing the ire of parents, teachers, and taxpayers for several decades, U.S. students are still being educated for workforce development and training to meet the needs of Big Business and Industry, rather than to become well-rounded citizens of character and substance who can engage in critical thinking.
In an op-ed at the Hill, senior fellows Emmett McGroarty and Jane Robbins of the Washington, DC-based American Principles Project note U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's recent address to the Arizona State University + Global Silicon Valley (ASU GSV) Summit in Utah, where she used many of the buzzwords surrounding "competency based education" (CBE).
"Workforce development" and CBE are both concepts embraced by establishment Washington elites, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. ASU GSV is funded by the Gates Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation – both champions of the Common Core standards.
CBE, as Robbins notes at The Federalist, is described by Jeb Bush's Foundation for Excellence in Education (FEE) as "a system of instruction where students advance to higher levels of learning as soon as they demonstrate mastery of concepts and skills regardless of time, place or pace."
The concept of CBE is couched in conservative and constitutional-sounding language, such as "personalized learning," "individual needs of students," and "students' unique talents and abilities." However, to achieve such "personalization" and "individualization," much non-academic student data is collected, particularly regarding personality and psychological traits.
"FEE's slick videos claim CBE is superior to traditional education because it personalizes learning, ensuring that a student understands each concept before moving to the next," Robbins observes. "What's not to like?"
CBE, however, is essentially just another name for "outcome-based education," a results-based system against which many parents revolted in the nineties.
Robbins writes:
The goal wasn't to instill academic knowledge, it was to train children to give responses in non-cognitive realms, to exhibit the psycho-social skills the government considers most valuable. This is what prompted opposition from parents then, and this is what CBE is trying to replicate now.
Many low-income students – who often are without the benefit of two-parent stable families to support them – frequently fail with the more rigorous traditional classical education and are deemed better suited to CBE – which trains them for the workforce. While some students and their parents might choose a technical or vocational track on their own, in this case, it could be the federal government – with the help of the states and Big Business – directing that path for them.
At the ASU GSV Summit, DeVos, while pressing the concept of school choice, said:
Since we have a room full of innovators here today, my question to you is this: if you were to start from scratch, what would America's education system look like?
I doubt you would design a system that's focused on inputs rather than outputs; that prioritizes seat-time over mastery; that moves kids through an assembly line without stopping to ask whether they're actually ready for the next step, or that is more interested in preserving the status quo rather than embracing necessary change.
Here's how I would answer the question I just posed to you: We would build a system centered on knowledge, skills and achievement – not centered on delivery methods. Traditional, charter, private, virtual, and other delivery methods not yet developed: all would be treated as viable options so long as they met the needs of their students.
"This terminology – 'inputs,' 'outputs,' 'seat-time,' 'mastery' – is right out of the CBE glossary," write McGroarty and Robbins. "DeVos is apparently on board with this new paradigm for public education. Combined with her leadership role at Jeb Bush's pro-CBE Foundation for Excellence in Education (FEE), her summit speech clarifies that she's sold on CBE."
CBE – and Common Core – are all about "training" for specific purposes, and the reason why Big Business and Industry have been champions of both concepts. Why not support a path to obtain a guaranteed within-country labor force with "certifications" in skills they need?
The controversial DeVos founded and financially supported organizations that have fought parent groups battling against the limited Common Core, yet she said upon her nomination she "certainly" does not support the Core. The secretary also states she supports "high standards" and "accountability" – both buzzwords establishment politicians and education elites have used as alternatives to "Common Core" and federal oversight of education.
DeVos has also said in several recent interviews that "there isn't really any Common Core anymore," pointing to the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which, she states, has done away with the controversial standards. However, at least 37 states are still using Common Core – and calling it by its name – while others have simply renamed or rebranded the politically toxic standards to something seemingly less attention-grabbing.
DeVos and her department are also currently reviewing states' education plans to determine if they meet with the approval of the federal government. DeVos said in a statement about the review process that she is "setting the Department up to serve the support and monitoring roles intended by Congress," even though the Constitution provides no "support and monitoring roles" for the federal government in education matters.
DeVos also says she is "committed to returning decision-making power back to states," and that may sound like a more hopeful statement to many.
Nevertheless, achieving skill-based, technical education is once again the latest trend. The House Education and the Workforce Committee just approved the "bipartisan" Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act.
"Today, my colleagues and I voted to advance bipartisan legislation that will help many Americans obtain the education and foundational skills they need to achieve a lifetime of success," said Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA), who introduced the measure. "As Co-Chairman of the Career and Technical Education Caucus, I value the opportunity to improve workforce readiness through high-quality technical skills and remain dedicated to seeing this important bill signed into law."
DeVos also recently chose Michigan Rep. Tim Kelly – from the secretary's home state – to be assistant secretary of Career, Technical, and Adult Ed.
As the Detroit Free Press reports, Kelly has been "a vocal advocate for school choice and a DeVos ally. The Great Lakes Education Project, a school choice and charter school advocacy group formed by DeVos, gave $2,000 to Kelly in campaign contributions over the last three years."
The Great Lakes Education Project (GLEP) is a pro-school choice organization that promoted the Common Core standards and, according to Michigan grassroots parent activists, fought against them as they tried to rid their state of the Core.
Karen Braun, who writes at Stop Common Core in Michigan, told Breitbart News that DeVos and GLEP "do not support local control but a new model of education."
"It is a centralized competency-based education system for workforce development – which kills creativity and destroys local and parent control," she explained. "Big data – not parents – drive the decisions and the direction of their student's future. It is a system to meet the demands of the state and the workforce, but leaves the dreams of the child out in the cold."
McGroarty and Robbins say while DeVos appears to be on board with CBE, they are hoping technical education tracks remain voluntary.
"The danger is that she'll use her federal role to advance it, despite absence of any constitutional authority," the authors write. "She promised at the end of the speech 'to get the federal government out of the way so that you can do your jobs.' Let's hope she's serious about that."

IT HAS got very hot in the warmongers' kitchen when reputedly fire-proof US militarists like US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have both intervened to call for a swift cessation of hostilities in the Yemen.
Mattis said yesterday that the US wanted to see all sides around the negotiating table, and an end to air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition it supports, arms and trains.
Separately, Pompeo said, 'We have got to move towards a peace effort here, and we can't say we are going to do it some time in the future. We need to be doing this in the next 30 days.'
US President Donald Trump's administration is on the run from its bloody work in Yemen and is now fearful that the US will be driven out of the Middle East, so great is the opposition to its war in the Yemen, after the public exposure of the bloody killing by dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi.
The other major arms supplier to Saudi Arabia, the British government, true to the tradition of 'Perfidious Albion', is keeping its mouth shut tight, letting Trump, now the 'peacemaker', make the running to try to get imperialism off the giant hook of its own making in the Yemen slaughter.
The British ruling class is absolutely shameless. Its arms traders including BAE Systems attended the Saudi jamboree that most of the world boycotted. Imperialist Britain is even closer to the Saudi feudalists than the US, in the hope of getting physically back into the Middle East on the backs of the Saudis. The UK is now building two giant aircraft carriers and a dock to take them in Duqm Port in Oman. Even more than the US, the UK ruling class is glued to the Saudi feudalists and will not break from them.
This became even clearer in the House of Commons on Tuesday. Foreign Secretary Hunt was asked by Labour MP Gill Furniss (Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough): 'Media reports have surfaced this weekend suggesting UK intelligence services were aware of the Saudi plan to abduct the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and take him back to Riyadh, and of the deployment of the hit squad to Istanbul for that purpose.'
Labour's Emily Thornberry said: 'If the allegations in this weekend's report are true they are extremely serious. It was reported in early September that our intelligence services became aware of the Saudi plan to abduct Jamal Khashoggi and on October 1 they knew that a Saudi team had been dispatched to Istanbul for that purpose.'
Hunt responded: 'I hope she will understand that I don't comment on intelligence matters, but if it reassures her, I had absolutely no prior knowledge myself of the terrible Khashoggi murder and was as shocked as I think everyone else.'
Thornberry said the allegations are 'very serious', adding that 'it won't do to hide behind a blanket refusal to discuss intelligence matters.' She questioned whether the foreign secretary would accept an invitation to a closed-door emergency session to discuss the matter with the Intelligence Security Commission.
Hunt said he would accept such an invitation but added that the desire for him to reveal very important intelligence is 'inappropriate'. Hunt won't come clean and Labour and Thornberry are prepared to discuss what the UK's role in the murder of Khashoggi really was in private.
Whether the UK government knew of and was an accessory to the murder of Khashoggi is not a matter that can be settled behind closed doors. The British people have every right to know what the UK government is doing in its name.
If the government will neither confirm nor deny that it knew of the plot against Khashoggi, and if it will not immediately scrap all arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the trade unions must take action.
They must call a general strike to stop all arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and to bring down the Tory government. The Tories must be replaced by a workers government that will support the Arab masses against the feudal regimes of the Gulf, recognise the state of Palestine and aid it in its development.
At home, it must expropriate the bosses and the bankers, including the arms manufacturers, smash up the capitalist state and its MI6 spooks, and bring in a socialist planned economy that will transform the UK and help transform the world by getting rid of capitalism and imperialism.

Expose and Vista-specific Alt-Tab Task Switchers
I love the Exposé feature of Mac OSX. On Windows XP I ran TopDesk, an Exposé clone for a few years. Now that I'm on Vista and I find Flip3D to be a virtually useless way to switch tasks, I'm looking for a better task switcher again. I hope TopDesk jumps back into the party with new DWM support for Vista.
I still like TaskSwitchXP, but it's needed less with Vista's default ALT-TAB behavior.
When Vista runs Aero, the new Desktop Composition Engine, the possibilities for new Task Switchers becomes virtually unlimited. Early entries into the fray include:
- My Exposé (Source Available!)- Released a CTP last November, and he's meaning to get a new one out, but has been busy. It's a LOT like Mac Exposé but it's got a LOT of screen-flickering and doesn't work well when your secondary monitor is taller (has coordinates ABOVE) than the primary monitor. Still, it's working good considering it was written BEFORE Vista RTM'ed
- Switcher (Switcher Blog)- I was initially disappointed by this Task Switcher because its default mode is a strange "dock all running thumbnails to the top of the screen" place. And, there's no initial animation or transition. Then, I RTFM'ed, and noticed that you can switch between "dock" mode and "Exposé" mode using Page Down. Doh! After that, the choice is ssticky and you have the best Exposé in Vista I've seen. Brilliant and recommended. I hope he keeps developing it. I'm definitely using this one all day long.
With these two apps to choose from, and more, no doubt, on the way, the micro-market of Task Switching Software for Vista is looking pretty sweet.
- Here's some examples on how to do Live Window Thumbnail Previews in .NET on Vista.
- Eric Malamisura's Winposé or Winpose from last July.
If you're not sure if your TaskSwitcher is really using the Vista Aero DesktopComposition Engine, do a little test. Find a web page with a video or animated graphic or flash. Do a task switch and while in that "task switching mode" see if the animation is running inside the thumbnail. If it is, and running smoothly, that TaskSwitcher is using the DWM rather than static screenshots.

MFS bolsters fixed income research
On the research side, London-based fixed income analyst Lior Jassur has been named director of fixed income research, Europe. He will manage MFS' London-based fixed income research team.
Melissa Haskell has been named director of Fixed Income Research – North America. She will report to William Adams, chief investment officer for global fixed income at MFS, and head the US and Canadian fixed income research teams. Haskell was previously head of Municipal Credit Research.

The firm has also created a mentoring role to support its fixed income research associates' growth and career development. Veteran research analyst Michael Pandolfi has been named director, associate research and will lead the department's mentoring efforts.
"MFS has grown its fixed income franchise considerably over the last five years, adding investment professionals in the US, Canada and Europe. We believe this structure is more closely aligned with the growth of our business and investment capabilities. These enhancements will deepen our leadership team and position MFS to continue to meet the growing demands of our clients for many years to come," said MFS global fixed income chief investment officer Adams.
As of 28 February 2017, MFS managed $440.8bn (€413.8bn) in assets.

Austrian post-black metal giants Harakiri For The Sky will release in just two weeks their highly anticipated new album Arson via Aop Records. The band now presents another new track, "Stillborn", from the upcoming record and you can hear it in the player below.
Harakiri For The Sky vocalist, J.J., spoke about the new song: "The lyrics of "Stillborn" are obviously about the pros and cons of antidepressants and/or self medication. Pills like Prozac and others may help for a while but just make you numb after a couple of months. This is why many people drop them from one day to the other, what leads to severe depression again. A never-ending circle..."
Harakiri For The Sky will continue their tour of Europe in support of Arson in March. The band will perform one exclusive album release show on 10th February at Szene in their hometown, Vienna, Austria. Opening the show will be fellow Austrian atmospheric black-metal band Ellende.

In a particularly scenic area of the Pennines, the historic county of Yorkshire counts the Yorkshire Dales National Park as one of its prime jewels, filled with stone-built villages, stunning landscapes and vibrant communities.
A haven of family fun, charming places to stay, heritage, shopping and excellent food and drink, the Yorkshire Dales is a popular destination for UK holidays and weekends away for a multitude of reasons. For families, horse riding and activities in the National Park are a joyful way to explore, with the caves at White Scar, the Blea Moor tunnel and the Settle-Carlisle railway proving a timeless favourite.
The area's history is part of what makes it so appealing – the breathtaking Cistersian Fountains Abbey and the Study Royal Water Gardens near Ripon never fail to disappoint, the Duke of Devonshire's estate at Bolton Abbey, the 900 year old Skipton Castle, and the magnificent medieval fortress at Bolton Castle are all filled with intrigue.
In Ingleton the riverside pottery on display in the markets is testament to crafts old and new, while the region's hardy sheep still provide its local knitting industry with ample material for charming pullovers. The Dales Festival of Food and Drink is a highlight of the year, not to mention the Black Sheep Brewery Boots & Beer Festival and the Dentdale Music and Beer Festival, all of which give you an indication as to why the hotels and B&Bs are quite so particular about the food that they serve – it's all part of the Yorkshire welcome, and the beauty of a holiday in the area.

Sometimes it does well to remind ourselves that film marketing is in fact intended to get people into the theater, preferably over opening weekend. Yes the best trailers, posters, or even television spots can be art in-and-of themselves, but their goal is to convince the consumer to buy a ticket to the film being advertised. There are many kinds of sells, from the saturation sell that I so loathe (multiple spoiler-filled trailers, TV spots, and online clips) to the "mystery" tease (think The Matrix or the earliest M. Night Shyamalan films). But the successful campaigns for Disney's Frozen represents a successful version of an underrated form of advertising: "the false under-sell".
After ten days of national theatrical play, Disney's Frozen has amassed $134 million in domestic grosses, far above the respective ten-day totals of any non-Pixar Disney cartoon in history. It has great reviews, strong buzz and sterling word-of-mouth. But there have been complaints that the marketing made the film look goofier and more kid-friendly than it actually was, playing up the talking snowman and the slapstick while playing down the sisterhood narrative and the fact that it was a musical. I disagree with the charge that Disney was trying to hide its female-centric story, which was certainly the case with their campaign for Tangled. You'd have to be blind to watch the trailers and commercials and not notice that Kristen Bell's Anna is Frozen's primary character. But the rest of the criticism is pretty much spot on. Frozen is a much better film, with songs no less, than the one that was sold in the weeks leading up to its opening weekend. But the marketing campaign clearly worked.
Here's the rub: Disney wasn't marketing Frozen to you, they were marketing it to your youngest kids. My six-year old generally treats movie going as just another way to kill an afternoon, but she desperately wanted to see the film after seeing the trailer. It was the first time she had come to me specifically inquiring about a press screening for an upcoming release. I knew a number of parents whose kids wanted to see Frozen but were dreading the trip due to the Ice Age 74-type campaign. But those same audiences, young and old, had their proverbial socks knocked off by the film. They came out of the theater not just satisfied but telling their friends how much better it was than they were expecting. Hence the A+ CinemaScore and the strong buzz which powered the film to a massive $93 million five-day debut and then led to a solid $31m second weekend.
The only better word of mouth then "That movie was as great as I predicted!" is "That movie was unexpectedly amazing!". The comedy-laden marketing that focused on the Olaf the comic-relief snowman (while not hiding its female protagonist) got the youngest kids in the door. But the film's quality is what got older kids and their parents talking. The movie itself was the best marketing tool that Disney had for older audiences, and it's a tool that paid off big time once the reviews came out and the word-of-mouth spread. Kids were lured by the talking snowman and the comedic hijinks, but adults were roped in and will continue to be roped in by the white-hot buzz that came from satisfied audiences. So yes, Disney basically lied in the initial marketing campaign. They in fact advertised a film to be less adult-friendly than it actually turned out to be. But it worked.
It got very young kids of both genders to see a fiercely feminist princess adventure and got their parents to tell their friends and family about that unexpectedly awesome Disney cartoon they saw. How wonderful is it that audiences got to experience the film's biggest pleasures, from its heartbreaking prologue to Idina Menzel's powerhouse ballad "Let It Go", in a theater rather than in a spoilery trailer or television spot? That's the key of the "false sell" or the "under sell". You build word-of-mouth by allowing the audience to "discover" the film's quality for themselves. The "false sell" doesn't always work, because you need a film that absolutely delivers when audiences show up. But Disney knew it had the goods, so it concentrated its marketing campaign on the audience that doesn't read reviews. The cartoonish commercials and trailers got the core younger audiences interested, and the sheer quality of the film eventually snagged everyone else.
It is not wrong to wonder if Disney could have enticed kids with a more "mature" marketing campaign or if they should have cut more character-centric spots for adults (although later television spots and trailers did highlight the songs), but the end result was an unmitigated success. Sometimes you have to hide the vegetables in the pizza sauce. Rather than scolding Disney for tricking kids into dragging their parents to a terrific and thoughtful animated adventure, we should be praising the unmitigated success of a marketing campaign that turned Frozen into a massive hit without spoiling the film's many pleasures. Disney lied about how good Frozen was and arguably lied about the kind of film it was releasing. But the film is racing towards $200 million domestic and audiences are thrilled with the movie that they got to see relatively unspoiled, princess songs and all. That's a win/win.

Well to start off I am super pissed at nemesys because the will not return my calls on a lagitamate question.
In order to use the Gigasampler on my 2408 I was required to download the GSIF drivers for it so I did. You are also required to use the ASIO drivers with cubase so I downloaded them as well and installed them.
My system ran fine with Gigasampler and the 2408 without cubase, the piano sounded superb and after tightening up the latency I got a great Gigapiano going.
Now here is the mind warp for me. I loaded cubase after wards and when I did the Cubase freaks out and tells me that there is a software using the card right now and cubase ASIO drivers will not load.
This confuses me because I want to use Cubase with the Gigasampler as my Sequencer.
If there is someone using the Gigasampler with Cubase please let me know what it is I am doing wrong.
I was under the distinct impression that you can sequence the samples playing off of your harddrive and record them into cubase.
I am no slouch with building computers 100 plus so the most technical explinations would be most appreciated.
Please help me get up to speed with this
Thank You in advance

Madison opens up about her empowering new song.
Madison Beer brings the heat in her new music video for "Say It To My Face."
All eyes are on Madison. In her new visual, male models tend to her every need – offering the singer flowers, giving her a massage, and brushing her gorgeous brunette hair, but that doesn't stop the rising pop star from tying them up with rope and giving them the middle finger. According to Madison, the video doesn't incorporate a revenge element like it may seem. Instead, it dives into themes of "empowerment and self worth."
As for the song? "Some of it is about people on social media and how they're such big talkers sitting behind a screen," Beer tells BreatheHeavy.com. "It's a mix of different references about relationships in general. Girls can be catty and talk behind your back… then there's love and how we don't always say how we feel but can run our mouths about issues to their friends and stuff."
"Tell me, what's the situation? I've been rackin' on my brain," she sings. "Just want some answers if I ask you / But I know you'll never say it to my face / Say it to my face."
If there's one thing Madison wants you to take away from the track, it is the importance of "standing up for yourself" and "not taking crap from anyone!"

The solution may be located just outside the nearest city.
seniors, sustainable communities, elders, senior housing, neighborhood revitalization, walkability, zoning, pedestrians
Amy Carpenter
Marguerite Anglin
Brittany Coyle
Many "streetcar suburbs" near older cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington, DC offer great settings for seniors. Similar to urban areas, these highly "walkable" communities can provide a variety of amenities. Here are several strategies for optimizing these suburban neighborhoods to allow different housing options for elders:
Build on infill sites: Cluster the development of small, universally designed homes to allow elders to stay in the community they know and love. Ideally, these should be located close to amenities like transit and shopping.
Backyard cottages: This concept involves building a small house in your yard. This way, Mom lives near you, just not under the same roof. Several companies have begun to sell house plans or complete pre-fab homes that can be delivered to your door. A variance from or changes to the local zoning code may be required, but more communities are recognizing this as a solution to a critical need.
Re-purpose commercial spaces: As the market for office and retail space has softened, many of these spaces are vacant. What about turning an available pad site at the local mall into elder housing? Think about it. Malls provide easy access to shopping, personal services (hair and nails), and restaurants. Almost all have transit connections nearby. Indoor malls also provide a safe and climate controlled place to walk and socialize. Add some medical offices at another pad site and we're off and running!

Mistletoe Mysteries: Tales of Yuletide Murder is a collection of Christmas themed short mysteries. The mysteries are light and provide quick reads. The subtitle is a bit misleading as not at all of the stories involve murder. Each of the stories revolves around the holiday season. My favorite was a Christmas themed ghost story, "The Live Tree" by John Lutz. With tales from Mary Higgins Clark, Eric Wright, and Susan Dunlap, this book offers something for everyone.
Detox Delish: Your Guide to Clean Eating by Jennifer Mac has a Biblical side focus for plant based eating. As the title suggests the book has a main focus on detox. The first portion of the book explains about the author's life and her reasons for a raw, plant based diet. The second half focuses on the detox plan and the raw food recipes. While the idea is good, I am not convinced it is for everyone. The idea of a multiple day fast will work for some but not all. Many of the ideas and recipes can be incorporated into anyone's diet though.
The Seven-Course Christmas Killer by Rosie Genova is a holiday themed short mystery from the Italian Kitchen Mystery series. I have not read anything else in the series, but I was easily able to follow this short story. This is a fast paced mystery that takes place during a traditional Italian Christmas Eve celebration. Victoria and her sister have to find out who is trying to kill the mayor before the seventh course is served. I found this to be a wonderful little taste of the series and definitely made me want to read more. It is a fun, short, holiday mystery

New police strategy shifts focus to preventive work
The new police strategy on preventive work aims to engender a sense of security and to decrease the financial and human costs of crimes and disruptions in society.
In practice, preventive police work means encountering young people, working in suburban and peripheral regions and solving local problems together with other authorities, organisations and civil society operators. Preventive policing work supports the other functions of the police in the form of competence, information and cooperation channels.
"The most important part of safety and security work is preventing violence and harm before crimes are committed. Breaking the cycle of criminal behaviour is also an important aspect of preventive work. Next year, for this reason, we will increase the number of police working with young people in suburbs and shift the focus of police work a few steps further towards preventive work," says Minister of the Interior Kai Mykkänen.
Part of everyday activities at all police departments
The measures included in the strategy will become part of the everyday activities at all police departments through management and supervisory work. Preventive work is a statutory duty of the police, but it must also be a way of thinking in all policing activities.
Preventive police work is systematic and well managed, and it aims to prevent crimes, disruptions to safety and other undesirable incidents that affect people's safety and sense of security. The police engage in solutions-oriented cooperation with various authorities, organisations and communities.
Key themes for 2019
In 2019, the strategy will be implemented by focusing on five key themes. These are: further developing the activities of police Anchor teams, working in suburbs and sparsely populated areas, cooperating with educational institutions, reducing the rate of domestic and intimate partner violence against women and working with minorities. The Government has allocated additional appropriations to support the implementation. The budget proposal for 2019 includes EUR 2.5 million in additional appropriations for preventive police work and EUR 3.3 million specifically for police work in sparsely populated areas.
Aiming towards increased safety and engendering a sense of security
The objective of the strategy for preventive police work is to maintain and strengthen people's safety and engender a sense of security. With this in mind, it is important for police activities to take into account different population groups, minorities and age groups, as well as the varying needs of different parts of the country.
A further objective is to reduce the financial and human costs of crimes and disruptions that weaken the safety and security of people and society. In addition, the police want to ensure that the specialised skills and cooperation networks used for preventive work can also be utilised in other police activities.
Cooperation between authorities is a strength in Finland
Intersectoral cooperation between authorities and with organisations is a strength and asset in Finnish policing work. Well-functioning cooperation is one reason Finland is one of the safest countries in the world.
For example, by pooling the resources of the police, social work and health care, Anchor teams have been able to develop more effective ways to help young people who act out through criminal behaviour. Anchor teams work preventively to improve the overall life situations of children and youth together with the police, youth and social work operators and schools.
Monitoring the implementation of the strategy
The National Police Board is drawing up a plan for implementing the strategy. The objectives apply to all of Finland, but the measures will be tailored to suit regional and local needs. The Ministry of the Interior will compile an annual public report on the progress of the implementation of the strategy.
The strategy has been prepared in cooperation with stakeholders. The police, stakeholders, various population groups and the main cooperation partners participated in the preparations in workshops organised for that purpose.

Convection Group Away-Day Feedback
The convection group away day took place on 5 Oct 2016 at the University House, Leeds.
There were several CEMAC-related points raised during the discussion.
1. Centralized data storage
People store datasets at various location. Some are repetitive and incomplete. It is necessary to store complete datasets at one location so that everyone can use them.
2. Shared code
It is necessary to organize the codes so that the codes can be shared and one does not have to start from scratch.
3. Structured training
It is a trend to use some software packages, such as python, R, etc. There is a need to structure the training for new PhD students, PDRAs, and anyone who is interested in.
4. Idealized case setup for running UM or WRF
5. Student skill database
It is useful to create a database to show Students/PDRAs' skills and experiences. It is also convenient for PIs to identify the suitable candidates for a new project.

Teamster Leader Submits Testimony, Sheds Light on XPO Warehouse Closure
Once again, the Teamsters put XPO on the legislative record for being a bad actor. In this case, XPO warehousing operations received tax reductions and credits, did not fulfill their agreement with the public and attempted to leave taxpayers hanging.
Teamsters Joint Council 62 Secretary-Treasurer Lawrence Wolfe, Jr. submitted testimony this week about the closure of an XPO warehouse in Maryland, and how a bill in the House of Delegates should be modified to prevent a similar closure that hurts workers and taxpayers.
XPO had a contract with Amazon to handle the online retailer's business at the warehouse in Aberdeen, Maryland. XPO closed the warehouse in March 2019, after Amazon did not continue contracting with XPO, according to Wolfe's written testimony.
The warehouse was built by USAA Real Estate Co. and the site was designated as eligible to be an Enterprise Zone by the state and county. The designation enabled the site to receive reduced property taxes for 10 years. The tax abatement is front-loaded, so 80 percent of the reduced taxes is received the first five years.
The site was leased to XPO, and XPO also receive approval to claim state Job Creation Tax Credits. When XPO closed the center in 2019, 167 workers lost their jobs. This took revenue away from the community as those 167 employees were without income to spend, yet tax deals were given to retain the employment for the community. This is an example how bad actors milk communities for a tax deal and then leave them hanging by running away from their obligations.
Based on the XPO closure and another closure involving Safeway, Wolfe offered these suggestions to approve House Bill 525 (HB525), a measure that prohibits the use of business subsidies for company relocations:
- The example of the XPO warehouse closing in Aberdeen shows the connections of a real estate developer, logistics contractor, and customer. We suggest that the Compact be designed so that all these actors are subject to the Compact.
- Not surprisingly, there is a high correlation between companies that abuse business subsidies and labor law violators. We suggest that the Compact track labor law violators as a tool to identifying subsidy abuse.
- We suggest that the state continue to include or if it currently does not, to include, federal solutions to corporate giveaways among its legislative priorities to the federal government.
- We suggest that workforce development funds be included in the Compact. We believe the obligation of these incentives extend beyond the year of performance and clawbacks need to be included in the Compact.
