President Park Geun-hye today urged local politicians to ratify a stimulus package worth KRW20trn (US$17bn), including KRW10trn in extra budget, as the nation fights to save its beleaguered shipbuilding and shipping industries which have been shedding thousands of jobs over the past 18 months with more to go.
"To support the suffering citizens, the government has decided to draw up a supplementary budget," the president said.
She also warned that Brexit could bring additional stress to the Korean economy in the second half of this year.
With close to 70% of all vessels being broken up in South Asia, the shipbreaking yards in Alang, India are one of the most important centers for ship recycling, therefore responsible practices at the site should be encouraged rather than dismissed, according to the European Community Shipowners' Association (ECSA).
At European level, the EU Ship Recycling Regulation could prove to be a game-changer as the EU list for recycling yards could be the'carrot'that enables a fundamental change in the way recycling is carried out globally, ECSA said.
"Unfortunately, the signals sent from the European Commission are all but encouraging," said ECSA's Secretary General Patrick Verhoeven.
He added that the guidelines on which recycling yards have to base their application do not differentiate between hazardous and non-hazardous waste which de facto excludes all yards in India, even the most advanced ones.
"The EU now stands at a very important crossroad as regards responsible ship recycling. It can either be an enabler of development and reward pioneering Indian yards by giving them a fair chance to be on the EU list or it can confirm the view of many EU-skeptics and completely ignore important global developments," noted ECSA.
Following a study trip to Alang, India, ECSA said it witnessed the "investments made in a number of ship recycling yards to ensure compliance with the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships."
Namely, the investments have been made to place concrete flooring, effective drainage systems, appropriate downstream management and more decent housing.
"Alang and other places in South Asia have for years been criticised for poor standards – and rightly so, but, a positive development has begun and this should be supported not undermined," ECSA President, Niels Smedegaard, said, adding that, while there are yards where improvements are necessary, others have already taken the lead in changing their recycling practices to reflect advanced modern standards.
The member national shipowners' associations of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) have agreed to commence a co-ordinated campaign in an effort to persuade the European Union (EU) of the vital necessity of aligning its unilateral regulation on the monitoring of shipping's CO2 emissions with the mandatory worldwide CO2 reporting regime agreed by the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The campaign is aimed at EU institutions, including Member States, Parliament and the European Commission, however, in addition to working closely with the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA), ICS said it intends to enlist the support of non-EU governments including the United States, China and other Asian nations.
"Shipping is a global industry requiring global rules, in order to have a truly level playing field – otherwise we have chaos. ICS members greatly welcome the IMO CO2 reporting regime that was unanimously agreed by all IMO member states in April, as a precursor to further measures that will hopefully deliver a serious contribution from shipping towards reducing the world's CO2 emissions," said ICS Chairman Esben Poulsson.
The EU regulation on the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of ships' CO2 emissions was adopted in 2015 and would be fully implemented in three years' time. But all ships trading to Europe, including non-EU flag ships, will be legally required to comply with some of its provisions by as early as 2017, according to ICS.
However, the EU regulation contains a provision to the effect that the European Commission can propose adjustments to ensure alignment with any similar regime adopted by IMO.
"The key thing that really concerns the shipping industry is that if the EU refuses to realign its regime with IMO, as its own regulation permits it to do, this will be perceived by other governments as a sign of bad faith, which could then potentially inhibit the consideration of any additional CO2 reduction measures by IMO," added Poulsson.
The international shipping sector has cut its total CO2 emissions by around 10 percent since 2007, despite increased maritime trade, Poulsson said, adding that with oil prices having gone up some 80% since January, this reinforces how it is truly in every shipowner's interest to do everything possible to further reduce fuel consumption and thus cut CO2.
"It's worth reiterating, yet again, the industry's strongly held view that as a global industry we need a global framework. Only IMO is equipped to provide this," said he.
Seoul has moved to ease the burden on hard-hit subcontractors working at the country's struggling shipbuilders. The government is looking to give tax cuts and waive mandatory insurance fees to subcontractors to help ease the pain as they get hit hard from the restructuring at yards in South Korea.
South Korea's Financial Service Commission has also said it will provide loans to shipyards to ensure they can complete their orderbooks amid the greatest shipbuilding crisis to hit the local yards scene in a generation.
All of the nation's largest yards have entered restructuring while a number of smaller yards have shuttered in the past 18 months.
The situation is mirrored in other yards across the world. A recent report from Danish Ship Finance (DSF) suggested some 200 yards around the world would close this year, leaving some 530 yards building ocean going ships by the end of 2016.
Iranian oil tankers face no more obstacles when traveling to any port in world, says Ali-Akbar Safaei, managing director of the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC).
According to Safaei, quoted by IRNA news agency, NITC has secured all the required certificates from international insurance agencies for its tankers, thus removing the insurance-related hurdles and enabling its ships to dock at any port worldwide.
Unimpeded entrance to Iran's ports by foreign tankers is also to be ensured, now that there are no pending insurance problems, he added.
As informed, talks are also nearing conclusion between Iranian shipping lines with international insurance companies on obtaining the most competitive insurance policies.
Due to the latest turn of events, NITC said that it expects to return to European ports in June this year after over four years of suspension.
The German Shipowners' Association (VDR) endorses the resolution adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to make it mandatory in future for all vessels to record their CO2 emissions.
"In Paris, the community of states reached a consensus in December on climate protection targets within national borders – now the IMO member states have adopted the same policy for vessels sailing the global seas," said Ralf Nagel, Chief Executive Officer of the VDR. "The fact that all states on the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) have adopted the mandatory CO2 data collection policy despite the controversial discussion involved once again underscores the ability of the IMO to act as a global legislator for maritime shipping."
The resolution provides for shipping companies to transmit data on fuel consumption, distances travelled and the number of operating hours of their vessels via the respective flag state of the ships to the IMO in London for evaluation purposes.
"It's important first of all to have the CO2 data of all ships collected and analysed by the IMO. Only if we have sound, solid data does the discussion really make sense regarding suitable objectives and measures to reduce the already low CO2 footprint of maritime shipping even further," said Nagel.
The official acceptance of the addendum to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) by the MEPC in October is considered to be a mere formality.
Mandatory climate protection regulations already apply to maritime vessels. According to the relevant rules, newbuilds will need to meet ever increasing efficiency standards step by step and will be using 30% less fuel per ton-kilometre from the year 2025. Additional factors are parameters laid down for energy-efficient ship operation.
Maritime vessels are the most efficient means of transport available. With ships reflecting an average age of nine years (world fleet: 14 years), German shipping companies are reported to have one of the world's most modern maritime fleets.
South Korean government is launching a corporate restructuring plan targeting its financially-troubled industries, including its shipping and shipbuilding sectors.
The move comes amid the need to push harder the restructuring of vulnerable industries hit by a global slowdown to reduce overcapacity and boost long competitiveness, especially since business conditions have continuously deteriorated.
In a three-track plan revealed by the country's financial regulator, the Financial Services Commission explained the steps to be taken to help the distressed companies.
Under the plan, a consultative body of government officials would set a direction for groups proceeding with restructuring, companies would be sorted out through credit evaluations and industries with overcapacity restructuring and reshuffling would be encouraged to carry out voluntary and preemptive reshuffling.
Specifically, with respect to the country's big 3 shipbuilders, the regulator said that Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine (DSME) will be required to submit layoffs and cost savings. The shipbuilder's counterparts Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) would have to pursue self-rescue plans with their creditor banks.
With respect to shipping, Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) is to be provided with support for business normalization from creditors, strike a deal with ship owners to lower charter rates and reach an agreement with bondholders to restructure the debt.
On the other hand, Hanjin Shipping applied for a debt restructuring agreement with creditors on April 25. The creditor group will review the proposal and make a decision on whether it will initiate the procedure or not.
As disclosed, the procedure will proceed in accordance with the same principle applied to HMM.
The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has approved mandatory requirements for ships to record and report their fuel consumption, in a move that sends a clear and positive signal about the Organization's continuing commitment to climate change mitigation.
The mandatory data collection system is intended to be the first in a three-step process in which analysis of the data collected would provide the basis for an objective, transparent and inclusive policy debate in the MEPC. This would allow a decision to be made on whether any further measures are needed to enhance energy efficiency and address greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping. If so, proposed policy options would then be considered.
Under the system, ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above will be required to collect consumption data for each type of fuel they use, as well as other, additional, specified data including proxies for transport work. The aggregated data will be reported to the flag State after the end of each calendar year and the flag State, having determined that the data has been reported in accordance with the requirements, will issue a Statement of Compliance to the ship. Flag States will be required to subsequently transfer this data to the IMO Ship Fuel Consumption Database.
IMO would be required to produce an annual report to the MEPC, summarizing the data collected. Data would be anonymized so individual ship data would not be recognized.
The draft mandatory data collection requirements will be put forward for adoption at the 70th MEPC session this October and could take effect in 2018.
The data collection system is enshrined in draft amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), which were approved by the 69th session of the MEPC, meeting at IMO Headquarters in London last week.
Following a wide-ranging discussion on future work to further address greenhouse gas emissions from ships, the Committee agreed to hold a working group at MEPC 70 for an in-depth debate.
The MEPC welcomed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and recognized it as a major achievement by the international community. It also unanimously recognized IMO's own role in mitigating the impact of GHG emissions from international shipping and acknowledged the current efforts and the measures already introduced by IMO to enhance the energy efficiency of ships.
IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim hailed the approval of the data collection amendments as a significant contribution to the ongoing work by the international community to mitigate climate change, and welcomed the positive spirit in which Member states had approached the discussion.
"It has been very encouraging to see States which had previously found it difficult to reach binding agreement on climate change measures bring the spirit of the Paris Agreement to IMO this week. The unanimous agreement to take forward a mandatory data collection system for ships' fuel consumption is a significant step. It will provide a solid basis on which to consider, armed with information, whether further measures may be required in future to mitigate GHG emissions from shipping," said Mr Lim.
He added, "I would like to commend the Member States of IMO for once again showing their willingness to work collaboratively for the greater good. On World Earth Day, and the day the Paris Agreement is being signed by world leaders in New York, we are pleased to announce another of IMO's continuing efforts to protect the world's oceans and climate."
To date, IMO is the only Organization to have adopted energy-efficiency measures that are legally binding across an entire global industry. Mandatory energy efficiency standards for new ships, and mandatory operational measures to reduce emissions from existing ships, entered into force in 2013, as amendments to MARPOL Annex VI. Thanks to those new measures, by 2025 all new ships built will be 30% more energy efficient than those built in 2013.
The European Community Shipowners' Association (ECSA) is calling upon the EU Member States to give their support to global CO2 agenda for shipping.
From April 14 to 15, EU Transport and Environment Ministers are meeting in Amsterdam for an informal joint Council meeting under the Dutch Presidency. The discussion revolves around on how Member States could make a positive and constructive contribution to achieve an international framework of CO2 reduction commitments.
Niels Smedegaard, ECSA President points out that European shipowners fully support the initiative of the Dutch Presidency. "The shipping industry endorses the Paris agreement on climate change and we are committed to ambitious CO2 emission reductions across the world merchant fleet. With the shipping industry's support, Member States of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will be able to develop meaningful CO2 reduction commitments for the international shipping sector as a whole that are both ambitious and realistic," says Smedegaard.
In addition, the EU Parliament is also requesting from EU governments to match Paris ambition on ships.
In a letter sent to Europe's ministers of transport and environment, the heads of seven political groups of the Parliament's environment committee also demanded greater climate ambition at both ICAO and IMO, the UN bodies charged with regulating emissions from aircraft and ships respectively, and at EU level.
The calls come ahead of the 69th session of the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) session, which takes place next week in London.
The shipping industry wants IMO to establish a mandatory global system of data collection from individual ships by the end of 2016, according to ECSA. The system is to be the central topic during the MEPC's session.
"We believe that this system should have mandatory application," says ECSA Secretary General Patrick Verhoeven, adding that a decision in IMO should come forward in 2016 so that vessels can provide the required data as soon as possible.
ECSA also supports the proposal of its international partner the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) for IMO Member States to adopt an intended IMO Determined Contribution, which focuses on CO2 emission reduction by the entire international shipping sector.
This would make IMO Member States and the shipping industry answerable to the international community, in the same way that governments committed to Intended National Determined Contributions (INDCs), ECSA explains. The adoption of an Intended IMO Determined Contribution would also make it clear that the reduction of the sector's CO2 emissions is being addressed robustly by IMO Member States, according to ECSA.
According to Transport & Environment, the CO2 from shipping account for some 3% of the global total.
"Having escaped explicit mention in the Paris deal, emissions from aviation and shipping still remain the two elephants in the climate room. Without ambitious action to reduce ship and aviation emissions both at EU and global levels, the world does not stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C," says Sotiris Raptis, Shipping policy officer at Transport & Environment.
Transport & Environment believes that emissions from ships and planes have been growing twice as fast as the rest of the global economy. Based on a scientific study published recently by the European Parliament, shipping and aviation could account for almost 4o% of the world's CO2 emissions in 2050.
India and the Republic of Korea have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation and mutual assistance in the development of ports.
The signing of the MoU is expected to help both countries encourage and facilitate the development of ports, port-related industry and maritime relationship, according to India's Ministry of Shipping.
The Ministry believes that the signing of the agreement will also enable both countries to share technology and experience in the above-mentioned fields, as well as to exchange information on construction, building, engineering and related aspects in port development.

Q: Pythonic way to get next iterable value without incrementing iterator Is there a way to "peek" at the next iterable value without modifying an iterator?
I want to write a for loop over a list that touches the "current" value of the list and the "next" value of the list simultaneously, and I'm wondering if there's a streamlined way to do this with Python iterators.
E.g. in C++ I could write something like
std::list<int>::const_iterator iterator;
for (iterator = myList.begin(); (iterator+1) != myList.end(); iterator++) {
    compute = *iterator + *(iterator + 1);
}

because the value of the iterator only changes when explicitly incremented. The next() function in Python always increments the iterator. The only solutions I'm coming up with are things like having two iterators, which seems clunky. Is there a nice simple for-loop solution that looks something like:
for x in myList[0:-2]:
    compute = x + x.peeknext();

The Connecticut Supreme Court limited the scope of a federal law that shields gun manufacturers and dealers, reviving a lawsuit filed by Sandy Hook families. The Brady and Cohen Milstein attorneys examine the ruling and explain how it may have a domino effect nationwide.
On Dec. 14, 2012, 20 first-grade children and six staff were murdered in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. A Bushmaster semiautomatic assault rifle enabled the killer to fire 154 shots in 264 seconds.
Nine families sued the gun's manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Building on theories developed decades ago in a Brady lawsuit for victims of another assault weapon massacre, the Sandy Hook families argued that advertising the gun's militaristic, hyper-aggressive attributes amounted to negligent marketing that was a cause of the shooting.
If the victims sued members of any other industry, they would have a right to discover facts that could support their claims. But victims of gun industry wrongdoing must first overcome the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a federal law that gives gun manufacturers and dealers unique exemptions from civil justice liability. PLCAA has provided even greater protections than legislators intended because courts have interpreted it overly broadly.
On March 14, the Connecticut Supreme Court properly reined in PLCAA's protections, reversing the PLCAA-based dismissal of the Sandy Hook families' case. Providing the most thorough analysis of PLCAA since its 2005 enactment, the court held that the victims' wrongful advertising claim overcame PLCAA and may proceed into discovery.
This ruling should influence courts nationwide to construe PLCAA as it was intended—limiting cases where the gun manufacturer or dealer did nothing wrong, while allowing cases to proceed where the gun industry played a role in the harm or death.

PRESIDENT'S PLATFORM online only
Licensing danger
PICKING UP his phone to hear a familiar voice asking: "When did you start supporting the British National Party?" gave cartoonist Tim Sanders a shock. His politics could not be further from the boot-boy racists - what could his friend mean? "I have got a BNP leaflet in my hand that is uses one of your illustrations", his friend continued. "Didn't you give them permission to use it?"
Cory Doctorow holds up Creative Commons logos, one of which must be a licence that applies to this screenshot
The answer, of course, is that Sanders - whose work often appears in the Guardian and the Independent - had given no such approval. He had, however, supplied some illustrations to a campaigning charity. It had persuaded Sanders to release his work under a "Creative Commons" licence - thereby enabling any non-commercial organisation to make use of his work.
"I had already decided to donate the work for a cause that I wanted to support, so the Creative Commons licence seemed like a good idea", says Sanders. Horrified that his work was being used by an organisation to which he felt violently opposed, Sanders turned to the NUJ's freelance office.
Alas, Freelance Organiser John Toner could provide no comfort. "Once you release a piece of work on a Creative Commons licence, there is no way of controlling who makes use of that material", he says. "You may, with the best of intentions, wish to allow people to use your work without having to pay - but if you use this particular kind of release, you surrender your right to decide who uses your work and for what purpose, providing the user complies with the stipulated terms. I would advise members to think very carefully before using this kind of licence."
Creative Commons licences have been around since 2001 and are intended to help creators share their works, without payment, in the public domain. The not-for-profit foundation that developed and promotes these licences encourages the idea that some might share their works simply to enrich the available stock of content. Others, it believes, will do so as part of a business.
"The internet makes copying content without paying effortless", says Creative Commons Foundation communications manager Elliot Harmon. "That reality changes the way that creators need to monetize their content. For many creators giving away permission to use their works on the internet and elsewhere can ultimately be far more beneficial to their careers, than trying to enforce scarcity of their work."
There are currently six Creative Commons licences that grant differing levels of permission; from allowing a work to be used in almost any way so long as its creator is attributed, to the most restrictive that allows material only to be used, but not altered, by non-commercial publishers. And, Harmon points out, Creative-Commons-licensed work cannot be used in such a way as to suggest that its creator endorses a product or campaign, and a creator can require that their attribution is removed from a work if they don't like the way that is has been used.
Such permissive licences are an idea that has caught on with at least some creators.
Journalist and sci-fi author Cory Doctorow, for example, has long released his fiction on Creative Commons licences. "It's the 21st century, anything digital that people want to take without paying for it, they can, in approximately the same number of clicks as it takes to buy it", he says. "That means that all purchases are voluntary, whether or not you use Creative Commons licences. Copyright industry enforcement focuses on terrorising people into paying. I focus on performing acts of generosity and trust and hope to encourage reciprocal reactions from my readers. So far, it's working. My latest book, the graphic novel, In Real Life, written with Jen Wang, is number three on the New York Times graphic novel bestseller list."
Writers are not alone in this enthusiasm. Photographer Jonathan Worth's work has appeared in Rolling Stone , Vogue and Vanity Fair . He is such a complete convert to the "Creative Commons" way of working that he can hardly imagine his life in what he calls the "all rights reserved" era.
His conversion came after he photographed the actor Heath Ledger for the New York Times . The editor of a fan site copied some of his outtakes and posted them on her site. "I fired off a furious letter demanding to know how she dare steal my work?" They were taken down, after which time Worth's own site was bombarded with interest from Heath Ledger fans. "I can't believe now how stupid I was. I had all this attention, and nothing to give them at all. The level of interest, particularly after Ledger died (in 2008) was such that I could have written up the photo shoot as a booklet and made money from it".
His newspaper portrait commissions pay very little, but, says Worth, they give him access and opportunities that can be leveraged in other ways. "I might get ten minutes with Jude Law, for example. From that shoot I will supply perhaps nine potentially publishable shots for the New York Times . Once they are published, I will then start to release some of the outtakes on my own site, via a Creative Commons licence. That allows bloggers to use the shots, which drives traffic to my site and allows me to sell prints."
Another approach is to create limited edition products. With one author, Worth created a "collectable" copy of his original manuscript, plus a numbered photograph. Only 115 were produced and the higher numbers in the run sold for £150.
"That picture ultimately made over £2000. If it had languished in my own archive, I doubt if it would have made a penny".
Worth applies the same approach to his teaching and attracted 35,000 students to a free online course at the University of Coventry and more than quarter of a million to a course that he ran for the University of California (Irvine).
Such enthusiasm for these licences incenses those who oppose this approach to gifting creative work to the world. Andrew Wiard, for example, a former chair of the NUJ's Photographers' Council, takes an emphatic line. "Creative Commons licences are dangerous. NUJ members should not just be warned against them, but the union should oppose them outright. They are a social evil. You don't need a Creative Commons contract to give your work away, either in its entirety, or by way of a limited licence - something which even I have been known to do."
Wiard's antipathy is born, in part, from personal experience. Several decades ago he contributed photographs to the seminal feminist magazine Spare Rib . The magazine closed in 1993, but its 20 year back catalogue is of interest to cultural historians. Late in 2013, The British Library announced a pilot project to see whether it would be possible to digitise the back catalogue and make it available on the web. More than 1000 former contributors were contacted and asked if they would release their work for the magazine under Creative Commons licences.
This angered Wiard, and other former contributors, because not only would it allow the archive to be viewed over the web, but it would also allow others to reuse photographs that first appeared in that publication, without further permission or payment. Wiard refused and has been agitating against Creative Commons ever since. The Spare Rib pilot is now complete, but the British Library has not yet decided whether to press ahead with the entire digitisation project.
The veteran photographer's concern is, in part driven, by his fear that the more Creative Commons licences are adopted, the harder it will be for creators to resist them. He is certainly right that they are becoming a part of everyday conversations when rights and releasing work are discussed. In November 2014 the UK government's then culture secretary Sajid Javid made a speech that was widely interpreted as laying out future Conservative manifesto commitments. In it he wondered: "Should the BBC share its local public service content under a Creative Commons licence?"
And the Heritage Lottery Fund, which distributes nearly £400m annually, requires that, where its funds support digital content, that material is released under a Creative Commons licence. It is consistent with the Creative Commons Foundation's stance that works that are created by governments or paid for with public funds should be openly licensed, but for freelance contributors considering work to an HLF-funded project, it is easy to see how this could make for an uncomfortable choice.
Harmon insists that the use of Creative Commons licences should never be obligatory. Although he is an enthusiast for their benefits, he accepts that in some instances they are not appropriate. "If someone asks me whether they should share their work under a CC license, there's no one right answer. I'd encourage them to think about how they can most effectively distribute and benefit from their work over internet. Many people have successfully used open licensing as a part of that formula."
That won't satisfy Wiard and many others, but it does pose a worthwhile question.
For those of us who started our careers before the internet, clinging to analogue-era working practices is appealing, however radically our industry remakes itself. Tumbling incomes for all freelance creators, photographers more than most, do call into question how tenable this approach is in the medium term? Some clearly believe that the spirit of the times requires a new attitude to licensing.
When the NUJ's delegate meeting was invited to consider our union's attitude to Creative Commons licences, it decided that informing members about their potential pitfalls was a better approach than taking a hard-and-fast policy in favour or against. That is one of the functions that this article will hopefully perform. If you want to keep your work out of the hands of fascists, however, or anyone else with whom you would not care to be associated, then the licences under which you offer your work clearly merit careful consideration.

William learned how to walk really early. (Taking his first solo steps at 9.5 months! Cruising on furniture at 8 months! Crazy!) However, he was on the later end of the trend to consistently clap. Oh, he'd tease us by doing it once in a while. But two days ago, William decided clapping is his new favorite thing and now he does it all the time!!! I have a video which I'll hopefully upload tomorrow. His other new activity is dancing. When I turn music on he bounces up and down! So cute!

For any and all girl allies and group leaders, educators, and concerned parents looking for help in attacking the negative effects of media messages on the lives of adolescent girls, Project Girl has developed supportive and easy-to-use curriculum and project materials that help navigate the sometimes choppy waters encountered when critically examining today's popular culture.
All curriculum is free for educators and community groups. Please contact Kelly Parks Snider (kellyparkssnider@gmail.com) for material requests.
Each of the four Project Girl curriculum modules consists of a Facilitator Handbook and companion DVD featuring Project Girl art talks and a "How To" segment giving step-by-step instructions for an engaging integrated art project. The curriculum guides facilitators and girls through a five-hour workshop that is broken down into one-hour segments. Each workshop explores a different media literacy theme and all are appropriate for ages 9-15.
Project Two: Will the Real You Please Stand Up! -- Explores our inner lives and values, with emphasis on qualities beyond appearance. Discusses the difference between media ideas of beauty and inner beauty.
Project Three: Evidence of Real Bodies-- Increases understanding of how unattainable, unrealistic media images can affect our feelings toward our own bodies and toward others.
Project Four: Brand Brainwashing -- Gives girls the tools and information to identify media messages and stereotypes about being a girl, examines how those stereotypes affect our perceptions and friendships, and generate a dialogue about the impact of labeling and exclusion.
An interactive full color workbook suggesting some fun experiments and engaging exercises that challenge us to think deeper about the effects that the media has on our lives and the lives of adolescent girls. The workbook also provides valuable insights into the creative process, reveals the intentions behind the artwork and is an example of the intentional use of art as an agent of social change.
The Project Girl Power Point Presentation takes students or members of girl groups on a tour of the Project Girl traveling art exhibition which features thought-provoking, topical artwork by both professional and girl artists. Themes explored through artistic expression include body image, violence in media, consumerism, sisterhood, age and beauty in advertising, media literacy concepts, stereotypes and "boxing in" girls, and true girl power. Power Point Presentation comes with detailed script and discussion guide.

Als interstellares Medium (ISM) bezeichnet man die Materie und die von deren Dynamik hervorgerufene Strahlung und Magnetfelder im interstellaren Raum, dem Raum zwischen den Sternen einer Galaxie.

Wichtige Bestandteile des interstellaren Mediums sind Gas in ionisierter, atomarer und molekularer Form sowie Staub, die zusammen als interstellare Materie bezeichnet werden. Hinzu kommen die kosmische und die elektromagnetische Strahlung sowie das galaktische Magnetfeld. All diese Komponenten wechselwirken untereinander und haben vergleichbare Energiedichten. Die Bezeichnung "interstellare Materie" wird manchmal auch dann verwendet, wenn eigentlich das gesamte interstellare Medium gemeint ist – beispielsweise wenn es um die Wechselwirkung mit dem Sonnenwind geht.

Das ISM spielt eine wesentliche Rolle in der Astrophysik, da aus interstellarer Materie Sterne entstehen, die mit Sternwinden und Supernovae auch wieder Materie in den interstellaren Raum abgeben. Es verursacht die interstellare Absorption und Verfärbung von Sternenlicht.

Abgrenzung
Das ISM reicht nicht bis ganz an die Sterne heran, sondern wird durch die Astropausen der Sterne von deren Einflussbereichen getrennt, den Astrosphären, die von ihrem Sternwind erfüllt sind und andere Eigenschaften aufweisen. Innerhalb der Astrosphären befindet sich das interplanetare Medium (IPM).

Materie, Strahlung und Magnetfelder zwischen Galaxien werden ebenfalls nicht zum ISM gerechnet, sondern analog als intergalaktisches Medium (IGM) bezeichnet.

Das lokale interstellare Medium (LISM) bezeichnet das interstellare Medium in der Umgebung der Sonne. In der Geschichte des Sonnensystems durchquerte die Sonne unterschiedliche Regionen in der Milchstraße mit unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung des interstellaren Mediums. Derzeit durchquert die Sonne die Lokale Flocke.

Zusammensetzung und Verteilung

Interstellare Materie
Der Ursprung der interstellaren Materie liegt im Urknall, Sternwinden und Supernovaexplosionen, wobei ihr Masseanteil in der Milchstraße nur wenige Prozent beträgt. Sie besteht in der Milchstraße im Durchschnitt aus etwa 90 % Wasserstoff, 10 % Helium (Mengenanteile) und Spuren schwererer Elemente, die in der Astronomie als Metalle bezeichnet werden, wobei 99 % der Materie als Gas vorliegen und der Staubanteil etwa ein Prozent beträgt.

Weder Dichte noch Temperatur der interstellaren Materie sind konstant, sie ist vielmehr sehr ungleichmäßig verteilt zwischen dichten interstellaren Wolken und dünnen Blasen und Superblasen.
Die Dichte schwankt zwischen 10−4 Atomen/cm³ in koronalem Gas und 105 Atomen/cm³ in Molekülwolken, der Temperaturbereich erstreckt sich von 20 bis 50 Kelvin in Molekülwolken oder Infrarot-Cirrus bis zu mehreren Millionen Kelvin in koronalem Gas.
Gewöhnlich werden anhand der gemessenen Temperaturen drei Phasen der interstellaren Materie unterschieden (nach McKee, Ostriker 1977):
 heiß – koronales Gas mit Temperaturen über eine Million Kelvin
 warm – Bereiche mit Temperaturen von einigen Tausend Kelvin
 kalt – H-I-Gebiete und Molekülwolken mit Temperaturen von weniger als 100 Kelvin

Galaktisches Magnetfeld
Das galaktische Magnetfeld hat eine Stärke von typischerweise 1 nT (10 µG).

Geohydrology and evaluation of water-resource potential of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Albany area, southwestern Georgia (1991)
Paper version: In stock and available from the USGS Store
In the Albany area of southwestern Georgia, the Upper Floridan aquifer lies entirely within the Dougherty Plain district of the Coastal Plain physiographic province, and consists of the Ocala Limestone of late Eocene age. The aquifer is divided throughout most of the study area into an upper and a lower lithologic unit, which creates an upper and a lower water-bearing zone. The lower waterbearing zone consists of alternating layers of sandy limestone and medium-brown, recrystallized dolomitic limestone, and ranges in thickness from about 50 ft to 100 ft. It is highly fractured and exhibits well-developed permeability by solution features that are responsible for transmitting most of the ground water in the aquifer. Transmissivity of the lower water-bearing zone ranges from about 90,000 to 178,000 ft2/d. The upper water-bearing zone is a finely crystallized-to-oolitic, locally dolomitic limestone having an average thickness of about 60 ft. Transmissivities are considerably less in the upper water-bearing zone than in the lower water-bearing zone. The Upper Floridan aquifer is overlain by about 20-120 ft of undifferentiated overburden consisting of fine-to-coarse quartz sand and noncalcareous clay. A clay zone about 10-30 ft thick may be continuous throughout the southwestern part of the Albany area and, where present, causes confinement of the Upper Floridan aquifer and creates perched ground water after periods of heavy rainfall. The Upper Floridan aquifer is confined below by the Lisbon Formation, a mostly dolomitic limestone that contains trace amounts of glauconite. The Lisbon Formation is at least 50 ft thick in the study area and acts as an impermeable base to the Upper Floridan aquifer. The quality of ground water in the Upper Floridan aquifer is suitable for most uses; wells generally yield water of the hard, calcium-bicarbonate type that meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Primary or Secondary Drinking-Water Regulations. The water-resource potential of the Upper Floridan aquifer was evaluated by compiling results of drilling and aquifer testing in the study area, and by conducting computer simulations of the ground-water flow system under the seasonally low conditions of November 1985, and under conditions of pumping within a 12-mi 2 area located southwest of Albany. Results of test drilling, aquifer testing, and water-quality analyses indicate that, in the area southwest of Albany, geohydrologic conditions in the Upper Floridan aquifer, undifferentiated overburden, and Lisbon Formation were favorable for the aquifer to provide a large quantity of water without having adverse effects on the groundwater system. The confinement of the Upper Floridan aquifer by the undifferentiated overburden and the rural setting of the area of potential development decrease the likelihood that chemical constituents will enter the aquifer during development of the ground-water resources. Computer simulations of ground-water flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer, incorporating conditions for regional flow across model boundaries, leakage from rivers and other surface-water features, and vertical leakage from the undifferentiated overburden, were conducted by using a finite-element model for ground-water flow in two dimensions. Comparison of computed and measured water levels in the Upper Floridan aquifer for November 1985 at 74 locations indicated that computed water levels generally were within 5 ft of the measured values, which is the accuracy to which measured water levels were known. Water-level altitudes ranged from about 260 ft to 130 ft above sea level in the study area during calibration. Aquifer discharge to the Flint River downstream from the Lake Worth dam was computed by the calibrated model to be about 1 billion gallons per day; about 300 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) greater than was measured for similar lowflow conditions. The excess computed discharge was attributed partially to stream withdrawals for

Q: ¿Cómo predecir dos variables continuas en una ANN? Estoy intentando crear una red neuronal que sea capaz de predecir dos variables continuas de salida con unas variables de entrada.
Para ello he realizado el siguiente código:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from numpy import asarray
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense

# Importar el data set
mis_datos = pd.read_excel('Data.xlsx')
mis_datos = mis_datos.to_dict("list")
x_vals = np.transpose(np.array([mis_datos['E_Core_cuad'], mis_datos['E_Fib_Cap_cuad'], mis_datos['E_Theta_cuad']]))
y1_vals = np.transpose(np.array([mis_datos['Ecore']]))
y2_vals = np.transpose(np.array([mis_datos['Eplaca']]))
y_vals = np.transpose((y1_vals[:,0],y2_vals[:,0]))

# Dividir el data set en conjunto de entrenamiento y conjunto de testing

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(x_vals, y_vals, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 0)

# Escalado de variables
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
sc_X = StandardScaler()
X_train = sc_X.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = sc_X.transform(X_test)

# Inicializar la ANN

my_ANN = Sequential()
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 269, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu", input_dim = 3))
#añdimos una segunda capa oculta
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 200, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 150, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 100, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 50, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 40, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 30, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))
my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 10, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))

my_ANN.add(Dense(units = 2, kernel_initializer = "uniform", activation ="relu"))

my_ANN.compile(loss='mean_squared_error',
              optimizer='adam',
              metrics=['mean_squared_error'])

my_ANN.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size = 15, epochs=1100)

#Predecir variables
yhat = my_ANN.predict(X_test).round()
print(yhat)
print(y_test)

Según entiendo, la ultima capa de la red neuronal la he puesto como Dense units = 2, para que pueda predecir dos variables.
El problema es que cuando realizo la predicción con my_ANN.predict solo me predice una de las variables y la otra la deja a cero.

¿Alguien sabe lo que está pasando o tiene alguna idea de como solucionarlo?

A: La configuración de tu red neuronal es correcta, por lo que los fallos pueden venir de:

*

*Comprobar que el pre-procesado de datos es correcto, es decir que le estás entregando los datos como quieres a la red neuronal, y cada dato se corresponde al inicial y tiene las dimensiones correctas.

*No sé las pruebas que habrás hecho, pero siempre puedes variar los hiper-parametros y las capas, para ver que arquitectura te da mejores resultados, por ejemplo usar menos capas (2 o 3), usar el error absolut medio (MAE) como función de error, menos epocas (50 por ejemplo), otro batch size (64 por ejemplo), etc.

*Por último veo que redondeas los resultados de tu predicción con round() puede que tu segunda variable predicha esté dando unos resultados cercanos a cero, y te creas que son cero, porque lo estás redondeando.
Como conclusión te puedo decir dos cosas:

*

*Tu arquitectura de Red Neuronal es correcta, no tienes ningún fallo.

*No por tener más capas densas, y más epocas tienes una mejor red neuronal, hay que hacer pruebas y buscar la arquitectura adecuada.

Chitungwiza Council Owes Workers $10M in Unpaid Salaries
1	March 18, 2014 4:46 PM
via Chitungwiza Council Owes Workers $10 million in Unpaid Salaries by Irwin Chifera 17.03.2014 VOAZimbabwe
Chitungwiza municipality owes it workers more than $10 million in unpaid salaries, parliament heard on Monday.
The satellite town's workers committee told lawmakers that ordinary employees are wallowing in poverty while senior management get their monthly salaries and in some instances given salaries in advance.
Chitungwiza municipality workers committee chairman, Ephraim Katsina, told the Public Service, Labor and Social Welfare portfolio committee that workers have gone for 11 months without pay.
Katsina said though Town Clerk George Makunde and his management team claim they are also owed money by council, the committee has evidence including bank statements showing management is fully paid and has been advanced salaries some of them up to May this year.
Katsina handed over the bank statements to the committee as evidence. He also alleged that council has secret bank accounts from which management is being paid, adding managers had also illegally inflating their salaries.
Katsina told lawmakers senior management's salaries are no longer being processed by the town's salaries officer as the human resources director is now in control, a move he said was designed to hide information from workers.
He said the committee approached Mayor Philip Mutoti over the issue of salaries and alleged corruption but the mayor branded them liars.
Katsina said the committee will investigate the municipality's finances to make sure employees are paid their outstanding salaries.
He said workers have evidence that the council collected $14 million from January 2013 to date but only $4 million was used for employment costs while the rest cannot be accounted for.
Both Makunde and Mayor Mutoti could not be reached for comment.
Findings by a special investigations team appointment by the Local Government ministry revealed the non-payment of Chitungwiza town council workers induced them into deals with some businessmen where they illegally sold council land to desperate home seekers.
Meanwhile, the Judicial Service Commission has begun implementing the new constitution by asking members of the public to participate in the selection of judges of the Supreme and High Courts.
According to advertisements in newspapers, three positions of judges are up for grabs in the Supreme Court and another three in the High Court and members of the public have up to the April 14 to nominate candidates.
The commission said nomination forms can be obtained from the Commission's offices in Harare and provincial magistrate offices around the country.
Completed forms and attached nominees' curriculum vitae must be submitted to the Commission by April 14 this year.
Justice portfolio committee chairperson Jessie Majome commended the Commission for following the new charter urging the executive to follow suit by making sure all pieces of legislation are aligned to the new constitution.
She urged members of the public to participate in the process.

CEO, ZIMBABWE, WHERE ARE YOU!


If anyone can tell me any history of the Old Smithy in Llanfaes, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks to www.penmon.org I have managed to get the census data for 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871.
1881 is a bit sketchy as no Smithy or Yr Efail is listed.
1891 David Hughes is the Blacksmith - living at Ty Tawel (Silent House). I am not sure where this is though or whether he was the blacksmith of Llanfaes Smithy?
1901 - Edward Owen is Blacksmith - living at Refail, Sling. Again, I am not sure where he was a blacksmith of, but it is unlikely to be the Llanfaes Smithy - I think?
I have the Electoral Roll for 1923 and am hoping to visit Anglesey Archives when they reopen to get some more.
I also plan to visit Bangor university too, as they hold the Henllys papers in their archives up to 1895.
The National Library of Wales has documents also from Henllys Estate from 1880- 1904.
I believe The Smithy may have been sold as part of the Henllys estate in 1950, again I am hoping to find out more information on this. The catalogue for the sale is held by The National Library of Wales.
Any further information or photos from any era that anyone could provide would be much appreciated.
Have found Donald McDonald, 45 of Scotland, a coachman, living at Ty Refail, Llanfaes in 1901 with his son John, 14, a Pony Boy (domestic).
I know this is a very old threat, but any chance you found out more? I have the name of another, earlier blacksmith in Llanfaes 1830s, but I'm not sure if he was living at the smithy though. His name was William Owen. He died in 1837, and his wife then remarried Richard Thomas the smith that appears with her in the 1841 census!
There is a William Owen who appears in papers where land was redeveloped and the smithy built I believe, but I haven't seen those. I assume that he was the same William Owen that I have details for.
Have a look on the website about Penmon Anglesey - vast amount of information on there.
Thanks Gilly, I have been in touch with the owner of the site and my info has also been added to the Penmon website. You're right it's an absolute treasure of information.
My Great Grandfather Owen Jones was born in Llanfaes 24.5.1877. His father Isaac Jones was the Blacksmith in the village at that time but I cant confirm whether Owen was actually born in the Smithy house. They dont appear on any Llanfaes census returns as they were at Nannerch Smithy in Flintshire in 1871 and had moved again to the Rhyl area by the next census in 1881.

TNI Vice President paid a courtesy call on Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
On 26 December 2017, Ms. Pornanong Niyomka Horikawa, Vice President of Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology (TNI) led the delegates to pay a courtesy call on Mr.Pho Hoang Han, Minister Counsellor and Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Thailand. The purpose of this visit is to introduce Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology and its international programs for Bachelor's Degree in Digital Engineering (DGE), Data Science and Analytics (DSA), and International Business Management (IBM). Students will be educated in innovative learning style of MONOZUKURI and be furnished with 3 languages, for example English is a medium language, Japanese is a compulsory language and Thai or Chinese or Spanish are elective languages. The applications are now open with 30 scholarships for the first batch of students. Mr.Han said "Vietnamese Government also launched some policies to support and help students studying abroad. Thailand is a good option in term of its geographic and cheaper cost of living, if Vietnamese students can get some scholarships to support their study, it will help them a lot."

Please trade him, for anything.
He is very solid, but does not fit our team. He's not very athletic anymore, so all he is is a good bench bat but he's way to expensive to be just a bench bat.
For "anything" is crazy to me. Yes, Seth would be an expensive bench bat, but all indications are that he would continue to be a platoon bat on this roster which is just fine. He's not an excellent defender but he's capable and we could do a lot worse. The monetary issue… it's $7M. Sounds like ownership is willing to raise payroll with or without Smith on the roster, and it's not your money, so I don't see why we should be so eager to ship him out.
I don't have an issue if they keep Seth Smith or trade Seth Smith. He is an okay bat versus RH pitching but his baserunning and defense are below average anymore. I can say that for what he provides, I'd rather have the $7M to spend on a starting pitcher.
A sub .800 OPS when you're already shielded as part of a platoon, isn't "stud" material. Add into that being a rather mediocre defender..and you have a serviceable guy.
Not sure if you can call a platoon guy that only bats vs RHP and does so at about a .250 clip a stud. He's a good player but by no means a stud.
Seth Smith is NOT a stud…goodness. He is a solid bat versus RH pitching but is below average in the field and on the bases. In fact, he is so bad in the field and on the bases anymore that he only had a 0.5 WAR last year. He was worth -8 DRS and -1 on the bases. He is clearly in decline but he is useful in the right role, the question is whether he's worth $7M on a team that clearly needs athleticism/defense in the outfield.
Why didn't they keep Aoki if they were planning on dumping Smith? The O's seem like a good fit for him now.
Because Aoki is even worse than Smith. Aoki doesn't bring an arm or power to the game and he's a corner OFer. As a 4th OFer or a CFer his bat would be ok. Unfortunately, he can't play CF anymore… well. Aoki was terrible to watch last year in Seattle.
What I would like to know is who starting the conversations. Are the M's shopping him or are other teams asking? If someone is interested, take the first offer.
Don't let the Astros Fans hear you say that. They just signed an All Star according to them. One even said he had 2 video clips from 2015 of him hosing runners at home. I said we will see what you say after watching him half the season.
If we can get anything decent for Smith trade him. I didn't understand picking up his option in the first place just a bat off the bench not good in the OF. I don't think it is money I think the roster spot is more valuable find someone that has more value as a bat and in some position.
I see your two videos of Aoki "hosing" runners at the plate and raise you two videos of Aoki misjudging two 9th inning fly balls in left field that singlehandedly lost an August game to Milwaukee.
@davbee Really, where are those videos, there's no link to them. Furthermore, in 5 years of baseball at MLB level he has 9 errors and 31 assists, yet you want to assert he's a 'poor outfielder'. He's also just 14 points off being a .300 hitter in 5 years. Oh yeah, he's such a poor player. In one game on 21 August 2016, a home run went over the wall in a daytime game with the sun in his eyes. He's 5'9, what do you expect him to do, leap like Michael Jordan? But do post your 'videos' up…His stats prove your claims to be wrong. He's an above average player that has never hit under .280, and 9 errors and 31 assists in 5 years is hardly poor play…I suppose you've never seen Cano make a misplay on an infield fly.
@docmil05 @whereslou I doubt either of you have ever played baseball. You keep saying Aoki is a poor player. That's laughable. Try and fault these plays; You guys just don't know what you're talking about, that's a fact.
No, really, 'he can't play the outfield'…..Thanks for the laugh though.
Valencia is RH and I think they are looking to go with Haniger in RF from that side of the plate and they also have Heredia they could use from that side. I think that Valencia will get some time in LF/RF/3B but will play primarily as a compliment to Vogelbach initially. Hopefully Vogelbach does take the job and run with it.
I wouldn't expect O'Neill to be more than a September callup. He did very good at AA, especially considering his age, but he still has a very large K rate. Hopefully he forces their hand come July but I don't think extended time in AAA would be bad by any means.
I still see value in Smith. He definitely lengthens a lineup and against righties is above average at the plate. While he does have his limits in the OF, I've definitely seen a lot worse. I could see Smith bringing in a late inning arm, nothing major, but definitely something to free up some salary for the team. He's not garbage. Somebody will value him, it just depends on how much. If we roll into the year with Smitty still on the team, I'll still be happy. He's a clubhouse guy and is a very good and smart hitter.
O'Neill will have to ball out next year if he wants to make it to the big's before September call-ups. Ever since Servais and Dipoto started preaching about earning promotions, I've felt that the time table for Tyler would be at the earliest, mid July 2018. You just never know in this sport.
Adam Eaton could be a target for Seattle. Or that McCutchen fella from Pittsburgh.
The question is how much would a guy like McCutchen or Bruce cost.
For Bruce…solid 7th/8th inning RP or a couple of lotto ticket type prospects. I'd guess the Mets would kick in $$ to get back a better return.
For Cutch…a lot more, though I don't think he'd be worth it…definitely on the decline.
The pirates were asking for Diaz, O'Neil, Paxton and more for Cutch.
It was from the Mariners reporter Ryan Divish, you can choose to believe him or not but I will.
Cutch would take a lot more than I think we have to offer. Maybe if we still had Walker, but after giving up him and Jackson, I don't think we have enough. They wanted Giolito and Robles from the Nationals which is two top 10's.
Everyone conveniently forgets Seth's ability to work an 8-10 pitch AB every time he comes up. His contributions at the plate helped push starters to early exits many times throughout the season. Yes, he is a liability in the field and should be replaced late in ball games, but he fits a need on this ball club with the new "control the zone" mentality. Unless they are looking to move his salary to facilitate another big move i.e. McCutcheon then that makes sense, but those advocating dumping him for "anything" or willing to take next to nothing clearly do not watch baseball like the majority of us.
Where do you get 8-10 pitch at bats? He may have had 1 or 2 of those all year, he may have averaged 4 or 5 pitches an at bat but it all gets washed away when he can't get a pop up hit to short right field.
He did have some ABs that he saw a lot of pitches. And remember this is the guy that would just like him to go away. He has a good eye and will get a few hits and a few clutch hits but not enough. He is awful in the field and is exact opposite of Dipoto says he wants in the OF. I still am confused why we picked up good option unless they thought they could flip him then good for them.
He is adequate in a lot of ways, but just chews up at-bats. Usually 7-8 pitches per AB , very underrated skill.
4.22 pitches per plate appearance, so not quite 7-8. Still, if he qualified for the batting title, he would have been 14th-15th in the league.
I wish the Mariners would actually make some good off-season moves for once and stop going at it 3/4 of the way. If you are going all in, go all in.
I hated the trading away 5 years of one of the best relievers in Smith along with Elias for half a year of Miley. I hated sending away Walker for a mostly unproven Segura when we already had Marte and could have gotten someone like Cozart a lot cheaper. I didn't like them trading Alex Jackson for pitchers that likely won't help much this year. I just feel like he is making a lot of bad moves. I feel like we could have gotten better help for Walker than we did.
Hey Cashman Seth Smith looks like a better fit than Aaron Hicks. Admit to yet another mistake, and move on.
This might be a crazy idea but I want the Mariners to trade Smith to free up salary space and get a decent prospect. Then trade that prospect and Daniel Vogelbach and maybe one more if necessary to the Red Sox for Steven Wright. Then sign Edwin Encarnacion to play first and put Valencia in the outfield.
I've been trying to say that but it just doesn't seem likely but I'd love for that to happen.


Although there is a definite and undeniable level of synthetic sound generation present in Ashley Reaks' "Melancholia", it is difficult, if not impossible, to term this recording as electronica of any sort. Rather, it is more of an exercise in 90's-style Indie rock, in the vein of The Pixies or Nick Cave, with overtones of David Bowie and Gary Numan, performed with the aid of electronic instrumentation.
Like that of the artists mentioned above, the music of Ashley Reaks is uncomplicated (yet still technically accomplished), listenable and unlikely to offend anybody. It even carries enough of a "pop" vibe to please a large proportion of the general listening public. But, make no mistake, it is not a happy album by any means… As the title, "Melancholia" may or may not have implied. Tracks like the spoken word "She Burns" or the first cut of the album, "Sucker For Punishment" speak volumes regarding the disproportionate degree of dissatisfaction with life, relationships and society that defines Mr Reaks' outlook on the world. Even the upbeat nature of "I've Got Everything (that nobody wants)" can't hide the fact that it is two minutes of painful personal confession hidden behind layers of high-tempo synthrock.
Despite the composer's insistence that his driving force is similar to the punk ethos of creating art without the added benefit of ability, a natural musical talent does shine through. With further training and experience, Ashley Reaks could become a force to be reckoned with – but the question then arises: would this spoil the raw simplicity and energy that now suffuses his work? Perhaps moving further from his "punk" roots would spell the end of what is currently a fairly unique and enjoyable sound.
There is great appeal to be found on "Melancholia": a fair variety of sounds and styles, clever, impassioned vocals and a wonderfully cynical outlook combine to create something that is, while not my usual taste, very listenable indeed.

The Palestinian Prime Minister's Office welcomed today the findings of the United Nations Independent Commission of Inquiry on the protests in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the statement made by the Chair of the Commission، Santiago Canton of Argentina.
The statement acknowledged that the Israeli occupation forces committed violations of international human rights and humanitarian law against the defenseless Palestinian protesters during the Great March of Return and the breaking of the Siege on the Gaza Strip.
"The findings and demands to open an immediate investigation by Israel، the Occupying Power، is a right step in the right direction، yet is not enough for establishing comprehensive accountability. The International community must take its responsibility and provide international protection for the Palestinian citizens in every inch of occupied Palestine،" Ahmad Shami، spokesperson to the Office of the Prime Minister stated.
"We urge the international community and all United Nations related institutions to oblige Israel to commit to the fourth Geneva Convention and uphold its legal obligations as a belligerent occupant to protect the Palestinian citizens under its military control،" Shami added.
Shami also pointed out that as the one-year anniversary of the Great March of Return is becoming closer، stressing that "all concerned parties must pressure Israel to respond to the repeated requests of the Commission for information and access to Occupied Palestine."

I have heard the stories of calcium blocking foods and I know I have listed some above according to other "expert" sites. But let me say this, I have been feeding these types of diets for over ten years now and have yet to ever have a reptile suffer calcium deficiencies in any way. These theories of calcium blocking are based on human standards from the FDA and are not proven to be accurate by any veterinarian studies that I have seen. If fed in moderation and not exclusively these foods will not cause calcium blockage. Are we done now, with that ignorant argument? As a matter of fact if you e-mail me a qualified veterinarian's report I must be able to verify that the Veterinarian in question is actually practicing or has practiced somewhere for more than a year in the United States. The study must state that specifically within a varied diet that includes vegetables and proteins that the calcium blocking vegetables in proportion to the others included in such a diet will cause a calcium deficiency and I will send the first two people to do so $25 via PayPal. If you want to add a calcium supplement of some kind I would use non treated bird cuttlebone and just let it float around the tank. The turtle will break off pieces itself and eat them.
We have seen that these "cute" little turtles are expensive and when all things are considered I would guess that most people doing the right thing and researching before buying will actually pass and get something else which is probably a good thing. I would rather you purchase a different reptile than buy one on impulse only to have it suffer or worse be released into the wild to fend for itself. While this article is thorough it is not intended to be nor should it be considered the only authority. I would recommend as I always do that you read a book or at least another article about Red Eared Sliders Trachemys scripta elegans before purchasing one. I wrote another such article for Associated Content which if you like to read that one as well you can find it by clicking here.
You're going to drain as much water as possible and then wipe down the entire enclosure with a rag removing any algae and other materials that the filter somehow missed. After that you're going to add all the water back as well as the turtle and then after the tank is refilled you will add the filter and plug it in. After about ten minutes plug the heater back in the reason for the time lapse is that sudden shocks of temperature drop to the heater may cause it to malfunction. Never for any reason, place your mouth on the siphon to get it started as you may get more than you bargained for with used turtle water.
Dietary needs are met through offering a varied diet of greens, fish, shrimp, worms, and even crickets. In my experience the juvenile turtles will eat just about anything. I prefer feeding frozen foods like krill and live worms such as night crawlers. For greens give a rough chop to Green leaf lettuce, dandelion greens, red leaf lettuce, endive, kale, romaine, and zucchinis. I would make about half cup of this mixture and place that in the aquarium to float around.
You'll have to remove this daily and I use a fish net to do so as the juveniles will only eat small portions but once you figure out what they will eat its easier to adjust the amounts of foods to their needs. Adult Red Eared Sliders Trachemys scripta elegans diet will be 75% plant matter.
Maintaining a healthy habitat will ensure a long life for your Red Eared Slider Trachemys scripta elegans not to mention you won't be spending hundreds of dollars at the vet. Once a month move the turtle to another container of appropriate size that's filled with water. They won't be there long so there's no need to heat the water but it shouldn't be cold either, about room temperature would be fine. I use a five gallon paint bucket for one turtle or one of the large tubs that we see at the beach with ice in them and rope handles for more than one.
Turn off the filter and unplug the heater, let the heater sit for about 10 minutes. During this time you can take the filter into your bathroom and use the bathtub to rinse and clean the filter and all the media inside. Once a month you will change out the carbon and once every three months you can change out the pre-filter which is a sponge like material. Now we go back and bring out our siphon.

Title: The New Zealand Novel 1860-1965
Author: Joan Stevens
Publication details: Reed Publishing (NZ) Ltd, 1966
Digital publication kindly authorised by: Sylvia Johnston
Part of: New Zealand Texts Collection
The New Zealand Novel 1860-1965
Mixed Bag. The work of Phillip Wilson is difficult to assess. His short stories {Some are Lucky, 1960) reveal him as a serious artist, page 119 but none of his three novels is fully satisfying. Beneath the Thunder, 1963, studies a post-war marriage in a rehabilitation farm settlement in the Waikato. Pete, who has had a bad war, is at odds with his wife Glenda, and retreats to an intrigue with Poppy, wife of his Maori neighbour Joe. A bush journey, a burning house and a thunderstorm bring the drama to exploding point. Ultimately Pete breaks through to his "still centre", and there is hope that the adoption of his child by Poppy will redeem his sterile marriage. Pacific Flight, 1964, studies another love triangle exposed to war stress. The Outcasts, 1965, exploits rather over-emphatically the theme of colour.
Pat Booth's work also is variable. His Long Night Among the Stars, 1961, set in Australia, was a prize-winner in the Otago Daily Times centennial competition; Footsteps in the Sea, 1964, is an onslaught on New Zealand small town life, written with a zestful exaggeration that is reminiscent of John Guthrie's The Little Country. Dick Brenton, returning after five years' absence in Malaya, "sees ourselves as others see us". Booth lashes out in many directions at once; the RSA, the JCs, the football club, Rotary, the pub, and the local "ladies" all come in for attacks so savage that when in the end Brenton finds himself at one with his fellow citizens in a sequence of violent action, it is difficult to accept his acceptance. "He sneered at their standards, but would coast with them." Booth's third story, Dear Chevvy, 1965, is a lively entertainment about vintage cars.


The Double Bye effect was strong: After giving up a 13-0 run to end the first half, Rhode Island just didn't have the legs to keep up with the Bonnies in the second half after dominating much of the first. Rhody shot 28 percent in the second half while Bona shot 54 percent. After 2 exhausting games, the Rams just didn't have enough in the tank to get themselves to the finals. This doesn't bode well for SLU next game.
St. Bonaventure's veterans need to contribute if they want to win: Bona's freshmen played great pretty much the whole game, but LaDarien Griffin and Courtney Stockard were absolute non-factors in the first half. However, they were able to pick it up in the second half. Stockard had 9 points (albeit on 1-11 shooting) and Griffin had 13 points and 6 rebounds. Griffin in particular was a spark for the Bonnies with a highlight reel dunk that brought the house down. Clearly, they don't need to carry the team, but they need to carry their weight on the court tomorrow if they're going dancing.
