text: Advocacy toolkit RESOURCESPUBLICATIONSROOTSADVOCACY TOOLKIT Tearfund's Advocacy toolkit is easy to understand and easy to use. It is an introductory and comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of advocacy. It is set out in a logical order, providing a clear overview and guidance about advocacy, based on the key questions: What? Where? Who? Why? and How? Each section is in three parts: Teaching notes covering the most important points in question and answer format Tools that are designed to be freestanding but also to double up as handouts in a training workshop Training exercises for applying the teaching and using the tools in a training workshop, with clear instructions about how to facilitate them The NEW second edition includes 80 case studies sharing the learning and experience of Tearfund partners over the past 12 years. There is a new section on the challenge of doing advocacy in a difficult political context, an expanded section on monitoring and evaluating advocacy and new material offering a Christian perspective on human rights. How to use it The toolkit is designed to be flexible and provide the user with options. It is full of useful materials, tools and exercises. Different ones will be relevant to different advocacy projects and programmes. Start by opening it up to discover what is there, and then be selective, using the tools that are appropriate to your context or setting, rather than trying to use all of them. We want to see powerful decision-makers held to account, underlying causes of poverty addressed, and justice for people who are poor, vulnerable and marginalised. So it is our hope that this toolkit will give you a fresh understanding of the relevance of advocacy to your work, and equip you with the skills and confidence to get on, speak out, and just do it! To order a paper copy of the book, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Accessing the toolkit Download the entire book (PDF 8.5 MB) ROOTS 1 and 2 have been combined into one book for the second edition. Part One (Sections A–B) covers the theory: Laying the foundations for advocacy (formerly ROOTS 1 – Understanding advocacy). Part Two (Sections C–H) covers the practice: Practical action in advocacy (formerly ROOTS 2 – Practical action in advocacy).

Judith Cinemas
219 W. Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Judith Theatre opened in 1914 on Main Street and has been in use ever since. The theater features a Beaux-Arts style facade, with with tan stone and red brick. The name of the theater is inscribed under the cornice. The marquee appears to date from the 1960's and is a fairly plain triangle with the word "Judith" in blocky, stylized cursive script.
A remodeling in 2006-2007 transformed the Judith into a twin. It was the first major remodel of the Judith since 1948. The theater is currently part of the Polson Theatres chain

In use since 1914. What a cool story!
In the 1940s and earlier, and probably at least as late as 1953, there was a second movie house in Lewistown, called the Broadway Theatre. The April 21, 1951, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that the Broadway Theatre in Lewistown had been redecorated and was reopening after having been closed for several years. The theater would be open only Saturday and Sundays.
The December 13, 1952, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that Don Campbell, manager of the Broadway and Judith Theatres, had announced that the Broadway would show only western movies and would be open only on Saturdays and Sundays. Campbell said that the house might go to seven-day operation later that winter, but I've found no later references to the Broadway Theatre.
But then, from 1953 to 1958 there are a few items in Boxoffice referring to a Fergus Theatre in Lewistown. Might this have been the Broadway Theatre, renamed?

Students All Need Internet Access At Home As Well As At School, Don't They?
The E-Rate Program has played a critical role in moving our nation's schools into the 21st century, and I wish it had substantially more funding. I am concerned, though, that the recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking outlines changes that will substantially reduce the effectiveness of this critical program.

There's something unnerving about watching quadrocopters fly and dart around. It gets even creepier when the quadrocopters team up and become a giant swarm, morphing into different shapes like a living organism. So you can imagine what watching 49 quadrocopters littering the sky feels like. It's like seeing aliens on Earth.
The awesome show was blasted on the sky of Linz, Austria. According to DVICE, The AscTec Hummingbird quadrocopters teamed up for a show called, "The Cloud in the Web" and was programmed by Ars Electronica Futurelab and Ascending Technologies GmbH. I would probably pee my pants if I saw these flying killers in the sky. [AEC.at via DVICE]

Libor Brought Scandal, Cost Billions — and May Be Going Away
By CHAD BRAY
LONDON — The benchmark is one of the most important in the world. It underpins trillions of dollars in financial products. It was the center of a huge scandal when banks were accused of rigging it.
Now Libor is going away.
British regulators said on Thursday that they wanted to phase out the scandal-plagued interest rate by 2021, replacing it with new measures that are more closely tied to the lending markets.
The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, dates back to the 1980s, when banks in Britain decided to use a uniform benchmark across their increasing range of financial products, rather than referring to various currencies and interest rates. Today, Libor is the underlying rate for a vast array of financial products, from home loans and credit cards to small business loans.
To set Libor, banks submit the rates at which they would be prepared to lend money to one another, on an unsecured basis, in various currencies and at varying maturities. But that process has been undermined in recent years.
Several banks were accused of adjusting their Libor submissions to benefit themselves and their traders' positions, rather than reflecting the rates at which they were actually making loans. An inquiry into manipulation of the rate led to billions of dollars in fines and shook the reputations of some of the world's biggest banks, including Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS.
Financial institutions, and individual bank employees, are still paying the price. Authorities on both sides of the Atlantic have pursued companies and bankers over Libor rigging, albeit with mixed success. The ensuing scandal also cost some senior bank executives, including the Barclays chief executive Robert E. Diamond Jr., their jobs.
And because Libor is so prevalent in everyday financial life, the scandal has also touched consumers.
Libor is tied to more than $350 trillion in derivatives, corporate bonds and other financial products, according to the ICE Benchmark Administration, a division of Intercontinental Exchange, which oversees the rate. Like the prime rate in the United States, it is also often used to help determine how much interest banks and other financial institutions should charge consumers.
Many credit cards, adjustable rate mortgages and student loans are tied to it. The one-year Libor, which represents the rate of interest on a loan between banks to be paid back within a year, is the most commonly used index for mortgages in the United States, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The rate's reputation has suffered in recent years, though, because of the accusations over rigging.
British authorities have not explicitly linked the decision to do away with Libor to the scandals surrounding it. But concerns over rate-rigging have increased scrutiny over how the benchmark is determined, and regulators say the rate has simply become less reliable.
Andrew Bailey, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority in Britain, said the market that Libor sought to measure — unsecured wholesale term lending to banks — was "no longer sufficiently active" for it to continue as a benchmark.
"We do not think we will complete the journey to transaction-based benchmarks if markets continue to rely on Libor in its current form," Mr. Bailey said in a speech on Thursday at Bloomberg L.P.'s offices in London. "And while we have given our full support to encouraging panel banks to continue to contribute and maintaining Libor over recent years, we do not think markets can rely on Libor continuing to be available indefinitely."
In his speech, Mr. Bailey cited what he called an "extreme example": There was a particular currency and maturity for which about a dozen banks submitted a rate every day, when only 15 such transactions of potentially qualifying size were executed in 2016.
One of the reasons Libor has persisted is that few alternatives yet exist.
It is going to be replaced by a system of rates that are more closely tied to the interest rates on actual loans. But the details of that system have not been worked out.
One potential replacement would be the Sterling Over Night Index Average, or Sonia, which reflects unsecured short-term transactions tied to the pound.
Mr. Bailey said that the regulator had agreed with the panel banks to sustain Libor through 2021 to smooth a transition to new rates.
"This date is far enough away significantly to reduce the risks and costs of a more sudden change," Mr. Bailey said. "By having a date by which transition will need to be complete, however, we give market participants a schedule to plan to, and make it easier for them to engage as many counterparties and Libor users as is practicably possible in that planning."

Mennonite Colonization Board (Newton, Kansas, USA)
The Mennonite Colonization Board, headquarters at Newton, Kansas, was organized in the spring of 1924 to give financial aid to the movement of Mennonite immigrants from Russia to Canada. The board was constituted at a meeting held at the Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church north of Newton, where by popular election at the meeting seventeen members were elected representing six Mennonite branches (Mennonite Church, General Conference Mennonite Church, Mennonite Brethren Church, Krimmer Mennonite Brethren, Evangelical Mennonite Church, Church of God in Christ, Mennonite) from Pennsylvania to Kansas, nine from the latter state. The first officers were D. E. Harder, president, D. H. Bender, vice-president, J. G. Regier, secretary-treasurer, all from Harvey County, Kansas, with J. G. Wiens and O. O. Miller as additional members of the executive committee. Later J. M. Sudermann became president and executive secretary, P. C. Hiebert, secretary, and H. E. Suderman, treasurer. These men, with O. O. Miller and John Lichti, constituted the executive committee to the close of active operations in 1926. In 1947 the Mennonite Colonization Board was dissolved and its assets turned over to the Mennonite Central Committee.
The Mennonite Colonization Board had two active projects. The one was financial aid to immigrants to Canada. By 1 August 1925, $15,000 had been raised and sent to Canada, $12,000 as loans to be repaid. The second project, colonization of Russian Mennonites in Mexico, arose because of the inability of some of the prospective Russian emigrants to pass the Canadian health requirements. The Board failed in its attempt to secure admission of these people to the United States, and then turned to Mexico because of the favorable attitude of the Mexican government as well as the earlier (1922) actual establishment of an Old Colony Mennonite settlement from Manitoba in the state of Chihuahua. When the possibility of settlement in Mexico was reported to the Mennonites in Russia there was immediate response and a considerable movement to Mexico set in at once via Tampico and Vera Cruz. The first two groups of six families, a total of fifteen, arrived on 1 July 1924, and settled on a tract of their own choosing near Rosario, state of Chihuahua. By October about 200 persons had arrived. By the end of 1924 approximately $14,000 in cash and supplies had been contributed to this settlement by the Board from donations received in the United States. The Rosario settlement, suffering serious reverses due to climate, also due to the divisive effects of the founding of a second (San Juan) colony near Irapuato about 550 miles south of Rosario, finally disintegrated and by the end of 1925 almost all had gone on to Canada. The Irapuato settlement was organized by several private individuals in the General Conference Mennonite church in Kansas, who solicited individuals to leave the Rosario settlement and finally diverted 24 families from Rosario to Irapuato. In spite of additional aid which the Mennonite Colonization Board finally gave in an attempt to aid and save the Irapuato colony, it too disintegrated, the settlers moving to Canada. A third settlement was attempted at Las Animas near Irapuato by a private individual, A. A. Rempel, himself an immigrant from Russia to the United States a few years earlier, chiefly for his own relatives. A total of 18 families were received by Rempel in November 1924, but by the end of January 1925 they left to go to Rosario (10 families) and Irapuato or Canada. A fourth settlement was attempted at El Trebol, Durango, about 500 miles south of Rosario by 24 families from Russia arriving in late 1925. This colony also disintegrated, most going to Canada, although a few families still lived here in the 1950s. Most of the Russian Mennonites who remained in Mexico (some 35 persons) finally located at Cuauhtemoc, a town adjacent to the Old Colony settlement in Chihuahua. This group was organized into a General Conference Mennonite congregation in 1938. By 1957 the total number of immigrant families from Russia to Mexico was 124, with about 600 persons. The last group of eight families arrived in December 1925. The MBC aided all of the four settlements, although its only own project was Rosario. The total funds received by the Board were: for Canada, loan $11,050, donations $3,096, total $14,146; for Mexico, loan $10,105, donations $22,800, total $32,905 plus two cars of supplies and one car of milk cows.
The failure of the Mennonite Colonization Board colonization effort in Mexico 1924-1925 can be attributed to the following causes: (1) lack of sufficient aid funds to carry the settlements through to self-support; (2) lack of sufficient rainfall in the areas chosen, at least without expensive irrigation; (3) fear of the degrading influence of the Mexican population; (4) no opportunity to earn money by hiring out during the pioneer years as in Canada and the United States because of the low wage scale; (5) the changed attitude of the new Mexican president Calles (succeeding the tolerant Obregon), who in early 1925 issued a decree to the effect that "in the future not more than ten families of foreigners shall be permitted to colonize any particular farming locality."
When the Mennonite Colonization Board was liquidated in 1947 it had succeeded largely through the help of C. F. Klassen in collecting most of the loans advanced to the settlers in Canada and Mexico and had been able to discharge all its financial obligations. The remaining assets were contributed to the MCC relief fund.

Since abruptly losing her $312 weekly unemployment check in June, Laurie Cullinan has depleted her savings, sought food from the Salvation Army and lit candles to save electricity.
If she can't find a job this month, the Royal Oak, Mich., resident worries she'll be evicted from her apartment, an unthinkable prospect for the 52-year-old, who enjoyed a solidly middle-class lifestyle until she lost her office-manager job two years ago.
"What am I going to do if I'm homeless?" says Cullinan, who collected unemployment for 1½ years. "My mind won't let me comprehend that."
Cullinan is among about 1 million long-term unemployed Americans whose jobless benefits are phasing out this year as the federal government reels in Great Recession lifelines that provided unemployment checks for as long as 99 weeks in many states.
By year's end, another 2 million will see their checks cut off sooner than Cullinan's were, because extended unemployment benefits will end beyond the standard 26 weeks that states pay for. Congress could renew the program, but many economists say that's unlikely.
The cutbacks, required by a federal law passed in February, are already taking a toll. They are nudging some Americans into poverty, straining social services just as states and localities face their own budget woes and further crimping weak economic growth as those who lose benefits spend less.
The number of jobless workers has fallen from over 15 million in early 2010 to about 13 million now, but the share of unemployed workers collecting jobless benefits has dropped more sharply.
It was about two out of three in 2010, but it's less than one in two now. Next year only about one in four will receive payments, according to the National Employment Law Project.
"There's going to be lots of people without any income still unable to find a job," says George Wentworth, a senior staff attorney for NELP. "You're going to see these people not be able to feed their families and not able to pay their mortgages. It will have a devastating impact on a lot of local economies."
Wentworth, like other advocates for the unemployed, does not accuse Congress of acting rashly, and he believes some scaling back of benefits was warranted.
The federal government spent $59 billion on extended unemployment benefits last year and the up-to-99-week periods of subsidies are unprecedented in any economic downturn.
The February legislation was seen as a compromise that kept payments flowing but phases them out as state unemployment rates fall from near-record levels.
Yet the cutoffs are coming as job growth has slowed to an average monthly pace of 75,000 in the second quarter from 225,000 in the first quarter.
Unemployment rates rose in 27 states in June. The government is expected to report today that the U.S. gained 100,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate stayed at 8.2%, according to a consensus forecast of economists.
States Eye Ways to Save
Some states, including Illinois, Michigan and South Carolina, have trimmed even initial benefits to less than 26 weeks, and some have cut the size of payments and restricted eligibility.
Florida residents must apply online and take a lengthy skills test, keeping some from receiving unemployment insurance.
Under the federal compromise, states are truncating the second phase of benefits, which helps people unemployed from 27 to 79 weeks, when their jobless rate falls below certain levels.
The reduction in so-called emergency unemployment compensation will affect about 600,000 recipients through December and 2 million more at year's end, NELP says.
The biggest impact so far has been on the final phase, known as extended benefits, which provides an additional 13 to 20 weeks to those who have been jobless as long as 79 weeks.
Benefits in that phase depend on a formula that requires state jobless rates to be higher than the past three years — a tough standard to meet with unemployment falling from recent peaks.
So far this year, more than 500,000 Americans in 32 states and Washington, D.C., have lost extended benefits. This month, Idaho will end the program, effectively eliminating it nationwide.
Economists worry most about the likely suspension of all benefits past 26 weeks at year's end. The average unemployed American has been out of work 40 weeks, according to the Labor Department, and there are still about three jobless people for every job opening.
"We're still in a world where you can't expect anybody to find a job within a specific period of time because there aren't enough jobs out there," says Jesse Rothstein, economist at University of California-Berkeley. "I think it still calls for pretty long extensions."
Workers who lost jobs in the recession and exhausted their benefits by January 2010 had a poverty rate of nearly one in five, and about 40% had incomes below 200% of the poverty threshold, according to a Government Accountability Office study this year.
Since jobless people tend to spend virtually all of their income, the phase-out of benefits may cut up to two-tenths of a percentage point off economic growth over the next year, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics.
Unemployment checks average about $300 a week and typically pay about half of a recipient's former salary.
Is Job-Hunting Delayed?
The development also has renewed a debate about whether such payments encourage job seekers to stay unemployed longer while hunting for a position most to their liking.
Some studies have found that extended benefits increase unemployment by a half to one percentage point or even more.
"I can't even get a job doing that."
"If we start reducing unemployment benefits, I think workers will make tough decisions they have to make to either reduce their wage demands or move to states like North Dakota where the economy is doing better," says Chris Edwards, an economist at the conservative Cato Institute.
Hank Finke, 54, of Westborough, Mass., concedes that after he lost his job as a sales vice president, he was unwilling to accept anything less than a national sales manager position and 75% of his former pay.
But after his unemployment benefits ran out last year, he started considering regional sales head jobs and a 50% pay cut. He still hasn't found work.
Cullinan says her job search grew more desperate after she received a notice in April that her benefits would end in June, 20 weeks earlier than she had anticipated.
Michigan cut maximum benefits from 99 to 79 weeks earlier this year because the state's unemployment rate was no longer rising.
When Cullinan lost her $32,500-a-year office-manager job, she first sought similar positions but quickly decided she'd settle for being a part-time cashier at McDonald's or a Starbucks barista.
"I can't even get a job doing that," she says.
Cullinan supports a partner who hasn't worked since a job-related injury four years ago.
Faced with losing her benefits, "I went into pure panic mode," she says, seeking jobs as a warehouse worker, gas-station cashier, hospital janitor or food server. "I would take any job that's offered to me. You want me to dig a ditch, and pay me, I would do that."
But Cullinan rejects the idea that losing benefits makes her more likely to land a job, observing that if she can't pay her $635 monthly rent and is evicted from her apartment, she'll have no Internet service.
"All the ways I have of looking for work — if I lose my home, I no longer have that," she says. "I feel like my safety net was dropped out from under me."
Till Von Wachter, a labor economist at the University of California-Los Angeles, says unemployment compensation's negative economic effects matter less in tough times when there are fewer jobs.
They are likely outweighed by the financial hardships people suffer after losing their benefits, he says.
"The debate has gone a little bit too far," he says. "It's very hard to pretend that all these people just didn't want to work."
A study by Rothstein last fall, one of the few to examine the effects of expanded benefits in the recent downturn, found they boosted joblessness in early 2011 by only about 0.3 percentage points.
Just over half the increase was due to older workers who kept seeking jobs, as they must to be eligible for benefits, staying in the labor force longer rather than retiring.
Indeed, many older workers who lose benefits do drop out of the labor force and retire. That lowers unemployment but also could hurt consumer spending and the economy.
Patricia Kirby, 62, is considering retiring early and tapping Social Security benefits after her $450-a-week unemployment payment was cut off after 79 weeks in May.
Kirby, who lives in Studio City, Calif., lost her job as managing director of an opera training company in 2010, and has had no luck finding similar jobs or even part-time retail sales positions.
When her benefits ended, Kirby largely stopped looking. "I took a break because it gets so depressing," she says.
Kirby and her husband, Terry, who does sporadic work to help film studios with location shoots, are hurting but not in dire shape.
They've stopped donating to charities and dismissed the housekeeper. They're also drawing thousands of dollars from savings monthly.
Many others who exhaust benefits apply for Social Security disability benefits, which are for people who can no longer work for health reasons.
In a 2011 study, economist Matthew Rutledge of the Center for Retirement Research found that the jobless are significantly more likely to apply for disability when their unemployment checks stop.
That further strains disability fund reserves, which are projected to be inadequate to provide full benefits to all beneficiaries by 2016.
Joe Sangataldo, 54, of Vineland, N.J., is healthy and eager to work, making his grinding two-year job hunt even more frustrating. Sangataldo says he was more selective when he first lost his job — as an unemployment office worker who monitored benefit recipients' job searches — in October 2010.
"You try to avoid taking the worst job in the world while you have the time to shop for maybe a new career," says Sangataldo, who recently got an associate degree in accounting to go along with a bachelor's in human resources.
But his search for civil-service jobs proved fruitless. He lived off jobless benefits for about 21 months until the $407 weekly check stopped July 7.
Sangataldo has sought jobs as a front-desk clerk in Atlantic City, a server at a cookie stand, and a bathroom janitor. With Vineland area unemployment at 13%, he still has come up empty.
Sangataldo, who is single and lives in his deceased mother's house with no mortgage, has applied for food stamps and will seek Medicaid. He plans to sell many of his and his mother's clothes at a yard sale.

With changes in the planet's climate we will suffer from waterborne diseases, those related to the lack of solid waste treatment and the lack of basic sanitation. This is a great challenge in this century. Many of our cities, especially those in metropolitan areas are experiencing a very high population growth rate and investing in basic sanitation is very important. I consider it a great challenge to train professionals, create jobs and invest in the basic sanitation of cities and metropolitan areas. In addition, the consumption of drinking water depends on the sanitary treatment of water....Read more

Minha recomendação é que todas as áreas cultivadas possuam curvas de nível. Os bancos finaciadores somente poderão emprestar recursos financeiros se as áreas, comprovadamente possuirem curvas de nível. As curvas de níveis evitam o run-off, isto é, retêm as águas no solo, evitando que sejam carreadas superficialmente. A erosão é evitada e a recarga é garantida! E mais, nossas barragens hidrelétricas no Brasil não possuem vertedores de fundo: o material sedimentado nelas, oriundo dominantemente da erosão provocada pelo mal uso do solo, fará com que suas vidas útil sejam reduz...Read more

Hello participants,
We are now beginning the last round of discussions.
A content about the Your Voice e-rooms discussion concerning climate and water relations was posted on World Water Forum website, as you can see here: http://www.worldwaterforum8.org/en/news/your-voice-water-and-climate-int...
Thank you for continuing with your contributions, we are getting closer to the forum.
Rogério Campos said:
The last 4 weeks discussions were exclusively not target in climate, but in preservation of water with particular cases being cited. Responsibility for the management of water was questioned. The vulnerable populations to climate change were considered as suffering the same issues related to poor sanitary and housing standards. It was cited that in India the presence of great montains have an effect over climate changing and that rapid changes in climate is becoming more harmful for agricluture in that country.

The presence of the great mountain mass formed by the Himalayas and its spurs on the North and of the ocean on the South are the two major influences operating on the climate of India. The first poses an impenetrable barrier to the influence of cold winds from central Asia, and gives the sub-continent the elements of tropical type of climate. The second, which is the source of cool moisture-laden winds reaching India, gives it the elements of the oceanic type of climate....Read more

In the past week we had some extensive and interesting comments in this room regarding several aspects of climate change. These have included discussion of:
- increasing population was noted as a major stressor of our infrastructure systems and the environment;
- the need for novel energy sources;
- water requirements for food production;
- appropriate and sustainable water treatment technologies; and
- the need to be inclusive in our development of climate adaptations.

Overpopulation, urbanization,industrialisation make the city crowded,polluted,unhygenic one. Also this city is lacking of good water,pure air,,infertile soil, epidemic environment having food,water,energy scarcity. Health is affected due to this situation.
Scientists should come out with solution rather than highlighting problems. A cluster of members of stakeholder is to be formed. The role of effective science communicators,environment communicators,health community is highly needed to create an awareness among the public.

Opportunities based on the theories of Inclusive Development is plentiful. Whenever there are impacts of climate change in a certain region on the surface of the Earth - such as droughts or hurricanes etc., the first issue that would crop up in the human settlements is ill - health. This illnesses could lead to disabilities in the human individuals which could be life - long. Hence the concept of Inclusive Development rises as a solution to the causes and effects of climate change.

India's hitch with water scarcity is not new. Despite India's rapid development and urbanization, industrial and domestic water users in India consume 10 percent and 8 percent respectively, while the agricultural sector consumes 82 percent of total supply. But the consumption needs of the middle class will continue to drive domestic as well as industrial demand at a high clip. This express growth, combined with limited water supply and the continuing importance of agriculture, illustrates the critical need for improved WUE in India....Read more
Rogério Campos said:
Summary (last 2 weeks of December): The participation in the past two weeks discussions focused in
personal opinion about climate change and reports of water problems, not
necessarily connected with the focal subject. "Climate change, caused
primarily by our reliance on fossil fuels for energy is a frightening
challenge facing humanity, this century", said one of the participants.
Comments on soil and water salinization in the State of Paraíba (Brazil)
were done. A platform created in January 2008 to coordinate and foster UNESCO
activities on climate change was introduced to the public through the room.

Dear Arturo,
I believe that for the achievement of the objectives, the "political - scientific dialogue" is a challenge.
If the ruling political class is not "sensitized" to the issue, it is very difficult to achieve changes. But if the scientific community does not take into account the objectives of the political class, to incorporate in the decisions, it is not easy to achieve things.

It's an age-old story of love and loss: You meet a song, maybe at a coffee shop or at a party. You bring it home via iTunes and listen to it constantly. No song has ever made you feel this way before. It is intense and passionate. It shakes you to your very core. You introduce it to your friends and they love it, too. Suddenly, you're not just listening to the song at home, but you're listening to it everywhere — at the grocery store, the laundromat, the shopping mall, etc. You begin to notice subtleties and nuances that you, in the flurry of romance, had somehow missed. Soon, however, those subtleties turn to pet peeves and, eventually, into full-blown annoyances. While the song is carrying on as if nothing is wrong, happy as ever, the very sound of it now puts your teeth on edge. You tell it that you can't listen to it anymore, delete it from your iPod and make sure that it can no longer get into your computer, but that doesn't stop your mom from trying to email it to you. Worse still, you run into it everywhere. It tells you that it's seeing lots of other people, but what can you do?
Now it's just some music that you used to love.

A man and a woman meet but there's nothing cute about it.
Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) is a rough sort, a bouncer at a nightclub in Antibes, a resort town on France's southern coast. He comes to the rescue of Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), an elegant brunette, when she is involved in an altercation at the club and her nose is bleeding.
Ali offers her a lift home. As he drives her to her apartment, Stephanie's short skirt rides up and he covertly admires her long, shapely legs. The next time he sees her, months later, her legs are gone, amputated at mid-thigh with only short stumps remaining.
Ali and a now-disabled Stephanie's slow-building romance and the path to self-discovery it provides for both of them is at the heart of "Rust and Bone," a moving and marvelously layered film by French director-co screenwriter Jacques Audiard. As with his earlier movies, including "A Prophet" (2009), "The Beat that My Heart Skipped" (2005) and "Read My Lips" (2001), the emotional wallop of this one creeps up on you and then lingers for days.
Also read: TheWrap Screening Series: Rust and Bone and a Brutal, Back-Alley Imagination
On the surface, the film (in French, with English subtitles) tells the affecting story of how two lonely people come to understand and depend on each other. But, digging deeper, it is also about living at the edges of an economy that has taken a beating and what that does to people, and about the steep cost of survival.
Ali and Stephanie are contrasting characters.
She had a profession she loved, training orca whales at a sea park. But then she loses her legs in a tragic accident involving the whales and finds herself jobless, depressed, in a wheel chair and living alone.
That's when she reconnects with Ali. He's a single father with a young son who bunks in the garage of his sister's house. He takes work where he can get it and makes money on the side by taking part in organized kickboxing matches, reveling in the brutal physicality of the fights.
Stephanie is disabled physically and Ali is stunted emotionally, almost child-like. Over the course of "Rust and Bone," she must recover her physical and emotional equilibrium and he must grow up. How they help each to do that, gradually and in ways that feel entirely realistic despite sometimes bordering on melodrama, makes for an affecting and memorable journey.
Schoenaerts is impressive, showing the tenderness lurking beneath Ali's blunt and muscled exterior. Cotillard, however, is luminescent, demonstrating yet again that she is an actress of enormous range and depth.
In playing Stephanie, she creates a fully dimensional character rather than a mere model of inspirational uplift. Watch for the dialogue-less scene in which Stephanie, still in her wheelchair but sparking to life for the first time post-accident, runs through the series of arm motions she used to use to direct the whales. It's as moving a testament to the sheer joy of being alive, no matter the circumstances, as anything seen on screen this year.

Satellite radio company SiriusXM plans to acquire music streaming service Pandora in a $3.5 billion all-stock deal unveiled Monday.
The agreement includes a "go-shop" provision where Pandora "may actively solicit, receive, evaluate and potentially enter negotiations with parties that offer alternative proposals following the execution date of the definitive agreement."
Acquiring Pandora would make SiriusXM the world's largest audio entertainment company, with over $7 billion in combined revenue expected in 2018. The deal would bring together SiriusXM's 36 million subscribers in North America and Pandora's more than 70 million monthly active users.
U.S. & World
Pandora shares rose 8.3 percent to $9.85 a share in premarket trading, while Sirius stock fell 5 percent to $6.63 a share.
Shareholders will receive 1.44 of newly issued SiriusXM shares for each Pandora share they hold, the companies said. The implied Pandora price from this deal is $10.14 a share, or a 13.8 percent premium over a 30-day volume-weighted average price.
Pandora stock has soared nearly 90 percent during the past year. While the music streaming business is thick with competition — names such as Spotify, Amazon and Apple have their own platforms — Pandora reported a smaller-than-expected earnings loss for its second quarter and announced it had about 6 million premium subscribers.
SiriusXM expects the deal to close in the first quarter of 2019.
The satellite radio company signed a partnership with Netflix in July to create a comedy channel. That channel is slated to launch in January and will feature new material from comedians promoted in Netflix original content.

Details emerge, recommendations made in Rutland police attack
Jennifer Berube, 39, smuggled knife, syringe into cell
The police department is reviewing its policies and procedures after revealing a woman was placed into a holding cell with a knife and a syringe. Police also said she was left unhandcuffed, and the door to a room where she was later held was left open.
Police arrested Jennifer Berube, 39, and her husband, John MacLean, 36, in December at a drugstore, suspected of fraud and theft.
While in an interview room, Berube attempted to slit an officer's throat with the knife she managed to sneak inside.
Berube and MacLean were searched and processed per department police, Chief James Baker said.
Officer Damon Nguyen, who had his back turned to Berube at the time, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Berube initially told investigation she found the knife on the floor of the interview room.
An investigation found Berube concealed the knife in her baggy, layered clothing. She was also found carrying a syringe and a hairclip, Baker said.
"I do not believe based on the review that any policies were violated, or any rules or regulations of the department were violated," Baker said.
The chief said officers should have noticed warning signs with the couple, who did not cooperate with police, he said.
"At one point on the tape there is conversation between her and her husband that she has the knife," Baker said.
Baker said he attributed the series of missteps to the lack of a thorough search and to officers simply tuning out the suspects.
While in the holding cell area, Berube and MacLean were recorded on surveillance talking about the knife.
"We lost valuable information that was being spoken between the two of them that we didn't hear," Baker said. "That could have changed the outcome of this."
Officers soon separated the couple, moving Berube to the interview room. She refused to sit down, a behavioral indicator Baker said has shown could lead to further violence.
Berube was handcuffed, but later taken to the bathroom. The handcuffs were not put back on when she returned to the interview room, the report said. She was also taken to a DUI interview room where the door was kept open, the report said.
Baker said officers also missed a conversation between the couple indicating a planned suicide. The report said Berube told her husband, "Don't do it," and "don't leave me," with MacLean responding, "This is it, remember what we talked about?"
Investigators later found shoelaces fashioned into a noose in the husband's holding cell.
"And she made a decision that she was going to try to prevent that from happening by getting control of Officer Nguyen and allowing them to escape," Baker said.
Berube then walked out of the DUI processing room, attacking Nguyen, the report said. Court documents said Berube cut Nguyen's neck, missing an artery by one inch.
After the attack, Berube told police she is a heroin addict, and that her husband would kill himself before going to jail, court documents said.
The report indicates unlocking and unhandcuffing arrestees in the secure holding area created a dangerous situation for officers.
Recommendations include handcuffing and locking all arrestees after a thorough search, the report said.
It also recommends officers partake in training to understand behavior indicators where violence could escalate, standardizing the frisking and search processes before an arrestee is taken to the holding area.
Baker said members from the correctional department would help in some training.
Berube is being held without bail on an attempted murder charge.

It's very simple. We save time and reach more stations than artists could, on their own.
Our lists cover around 90% of radio station contacts worldwide. For example, in USA, there are approx. 14,500 FM and 4,400 online stations. We have around 14,000/4,000 contacts just in The States.
Artist sends a radio ready, mixed and mastered song, along with short biography, 4-5 pictures, and logo if possible.
We put together a nice looking e-mail, with pure facts about the artist, info on song that's being submitted and artists (or artists management contact information).
We believe that it's fair to keep artists direct contact public, so if radio stations want to reach out, they can reach out DIRECTLY to the artist.

Looking for a magic voice in any genre.
My strong connections in the biz will be brought to bear when I find what I'm looking for. No groups, solo artists only.
What I'm looking for:
Ive had the good fortune in having some of the greatest voices of popular music sing my songs and on my productions.
Diana Ross, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, Natalie Cole, Isaac Hayes, Rod Stewart and Cher are inspirational, not because of their technical abilities but because of their star status, hit making identifiable unique sound, their conviction, their drama, their interpretation of lyric and their believability.
I'm looking for character voices:
Other singers who I like are Adele, John Mayer, Vince Gill, Prince, Cee lo Green, Elvis Costello, Al Green and the lead singer in the band Slipknot.
I dont like singers that I perceive to be pretenders like Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift or John Legend. I do however like "The Pretenders".
What I intend to do if I find the magic voice:
Someone calculated that as a player/arranger/producer/songwriter I am on about one hundred million records. With that I have developed significant connections in the biz.
When I find the right voice I will produce an appropriate series of recordings of my anthemic songs with that individual and present that to my connections for major investment and development.
I intend to create a new star.

NEW YORK — Facebook's stock is up more than 7 percent despite expectations that it would fall because more than 850 million additional shares in the company are being freed up for sale.
Shares of Facebook Inc. are up $1.47, or 7.4 percent, at $21.33. Facebook went public in May at $38 in a much-hyped IPO that turned out to be a letdown for investors. Its stock price hasn't hit $38 since.
Wednesday marks the expiration of Facebook's biggest lock-up period, which is a time following an IPO that prevents insiders from selling stock. In all, 773 million shares became eligible for sale, along with 31 million restricted stock units. And about 48 million shares held by former Facebook employees also became eligible for sale, bringing the total to 852 million.
