Charter of the United Nations#Chapter VII – Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace and Acts of Aggression
Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter sets out the UN Security Council's powers to maintain peace. It allows the Council to "determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression" and to take military and nonmilitary action to "restore international peace and security".
Chapter VII also gives the Military Staff Committee responsibility for strategic coordination of forces placed at the disposal of the UN Security Council. It is made up of the chiefs of staff of the five permanent members of the Council.
The UN Charter's prohibition of member states of the UN attacking other UN member states is central to the purpose for which the UN was founded in the wake of the destruction of World War II: to prevent war. This overriding concern is also reflected in the Nuremberg Trials' concept of a crime against peace "starting or waging a war against the territorial integrity, political independence or sovereignty of a state, or in violation of international treaties or agreements..." (crime against peace), which was held to be the crime that makes all war crimes possible.
1 Historical background
2 Article 42
4 Chapter VII Resolutions
The United Nations was established after World War II and the ultimate failure of diplomacy despite the existence of the League of Nations in the years between the First and Second World War. The Security Council was thus granted broad powers through Chapter VII as a reaction to the failure of the League.[1] These broad powers allow it to enjoy greater power than any other international organization in history. It can be argued that the strong executive powers granted to it give it the role of 'executive of the international community'[2] or even of an 'international government'.[1][3]
The covenant of the League of Nations provided, for the first time in history, enforcement of international responsibilities (i.e. adhering to the Covenant of the League of Nations) through economic and military sanctions. Member states were also obliged, even without prior decision by the council to take action against states that acted unlawfully in the eyes of the League's Covenant.[4] This meant that the peace process was largely dependent on the willingness of member states, because the Covenant of the League of Nations did not provide binding decisions; The Council of the League was only responsible for recommending military force. As well as this, Article 11 paragraph 1 of the Covenant states:
" (in the event of war or threat of war the League should) take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations. "
This can be seen as an authorization of the use of force and other enforcement measures, however, states repeatedly insisted that this did not make decisions by the League binding.[1][5]
This resulted in an unprecedented will by both the powers at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference and the states present at the San Francisco Conference to submit to a central organ like that of the Security Council. Despite long debate over whether the General Assembly should also have power over decisions made by the Security Council, it was eventually decided by a large majority vote[6] that the Security Council should maintain its executive power because, as the major powers emphasized, a strong executive organ would be needed for the maintenance of world peace. This emphasis was advocated in particular by the Chinese representative, recalling the powerlessness of the League during the Manchuria Crisis.[1][7]
" Should the Security Council consider that measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of Members of the United Nations. "
Article 51 provides for the right of countries to engage in self-defence, including collective self-defence, against an armed attack.(including cyber attacks)
" Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security. "
This article has been cited by the United States as support for the Nicaragua case and the legality of the Vietnam War. According to that argument, "although South Vietnam is not an independent sovereign State or a member of the United Nations, it nevertheless enjoys the right of self-defense, and the United States is entitled to participate in its collective defense".[8] Article 51 has been described as difficult to adjudicate with any certainty in real-life.[9]
Chapter VII Resolutions
Most Chapter VII resolutions (1) determine the existence of a threat to the peace, a breach of the peace, or an act of aggression in accordance with Article 39, and (2) make a decision explicitly under Chapter VII. However, not all resolutions are that explicit, there is disagreement about the Chapter VII status of a small number of resolutions. As a reaction to this ambiguity, a formal definition of Chapter VII resolutions has recently been proposed:
"A Security Council Resolution is considered to be 'a Chapter VII resolution' if it makes an explicit determination that the situation under consideration constitutes a threat to the peace, a breach of the peace, or an act of aggression, and/or explicitly or implicitly states that the Council is acting under Chapter VII in the adoption of some or all operative paragraphs."[10]
Chapter VII resolutions are very rarely isolated measures. Often the first response to a crisis is a resolution demanding the crisis be ended. This is only later followed by an actual Chapter VII resolution detailing the measures required to secure compliance with the first resolution. Sometimes dozens of resolutions are passed in subsequent years to modify and extend the mandate of the first Chapter VII resolution as the situation evolves.[11]
The list of Chapter VII interventions includes:
United Nations Security Council Resolution 82 (Korea)
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 (Afghanistan)
United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor
United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo
United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone
United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda
United Nations Angola Verification Mission II
United Nations Operation in Somalia II
United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission
United Nations Protection Force (former Yugoslavia)
Oil-for-Food Programme (Iraq)
United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti
United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 (Gulf War)
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 (Libya)

The Haunting of Girou
On December 14, 2017, the Alberta Court of Appeal released the per curiam ruling in R v Girou, 2017 ABCA 426 involving a rare case where the Crown and the defendant agreed that lost evidence breached the defendant's fair trial interests under s. 7 of the Charter of Rights. The trial judge concluded that sufficient prejudice was established and entered a stay of proceedings. The Alberta Court of Appeal reversed. Here's the broader question: Does the applicant have to establish prejudice in a lost evidence case?
The facts were not complicated. A police officer took notes and made an audio recording of the complainant's statement in a sexual assault case. The officer typed a detailed summary of the statement based on the audio recording. The recording was then inadvertently lost. The issue arose whether the lost recording justified a stay of proceedings resulting from the impact on the defendant's ability to advance a defence of "honest but mistaken belief in consent" and "the ability to fully cross-examine the complainant".
The trial judge found that other evidence such as the typed notes, the complainant's testimony at the preliminary inquiry and the statements of other witnesses did not mitigate the prejudice. However, the Alberta Court of Appeal concluded, at para. 13, that based on the trial record the extent of the prejudice was largely speculative. The difficulty in the record was that the trial judge ruled on the stay application before trial relying on "hypotheticals and speculation" as to what might happen at trial and on argument regarding the potential challenges the defence might face in cross-examination. The court went on to hold, at paras. 17-8: "When assessing prejudice, it is critical to consider the evidence that does exist and whether it contains essentially the same information as the lost evidence: see…R v Bradford, [2001] 52 OR (3d) 257 at para 8, [2001] OJ No 107 (CA)…[D]etermining whether the loss of the audio recording was material could not be fairly assessed without considering all the evidence once it was tendered."
There is, then, a second question in addition to the broader one whether the applicant must establish prejudice. The second question is: What is the best procedural choice for the applicant?
2. The Leading Cases
The two leading cases in the Supreme Court of Canada are R v Carosella, [1997] 1 SCR 80 and R v La, [1997] 2 SCR 680. In Carosella, the complainant in an historic sexual assault case went to a crisis centre for advice about laying charges against the defendant. A social worker interviewed her for about an hour and forty-five minutes. The complainant then contacted the police and the defendant was charged. The notes were later deliberately destroyed according to the centre's policy of shredding files with police involvement. The issue was whether the Crown was in breach of its disclosure obligations by failing to disclose the notes. In La, the complainant was a thirteen year old runaway and the investigating police officer taped one of her statements for a secure treatment application. The officer turned over the report and written statements to detectives in the vice unit but the tape of one of her statements was misplaced and never found. The issue here was whether the Crown was relieved of the duty to disclose when it had relevant evidence in its possession but later lost it.
(a) Deliberate Destruction
The pivotal fact in Carosella, arising from the destruction policy, was that the crisis centre shredded files that were identified as having police involvement because an application for production might be made. Writing for a 5-4 majority, Justice John Sopinka noted, at para. 9, that cross-examination of the executive director of the centre revealed that "[it] had been unsuccessful in opposing applications for production of records in the past and ultimately determined that it would combat the practice by following a policy of taking notes that would be misleading if ordered produced and of shredding files with police involvement before being served in relation to criminal proceedings."
The deliberate destruction of relevant evidence was the driving fact underpinning Justice Sopinka's conclusion, at para. 37, that the right to disclosure "is one of the components of the right to make full answer and defence which in turn is a principle of fundamental justice embraced by s. 7 of the Charter. Breach of that obligation is a breach of the accused's constitutional rights without the requirement of an additional showing of prejudice. [T]he breach of this principle of fundamental justice is in itself prejudicial. The requirement to show additional prejudice or actual prejudice relates to the remedy to be fashioned." A stay of proceedings flowed from either (a) the absence of an alternative remedy or (b) the irreparable prejudice to the integrity of the justice system.
(b) The General Category
In La, the evidence was not deliberately destroyed. The issue was whether evidence had been lost due to "unacceptable negligence". Writing for the same 5-4 majority as in Carosella, Justice Sopinka held, at para. 26, that where evidence has been inadvertently lost, "the same concerns about the deliberate frustration of the court's jurisdiction over the admission of evidence do not arise." However, as Justice Sopinka stated, at para. 20, the Crown has the burden of providing an explanation to satisfy the trial judge "that the evidence has not been destroyed or lost owing to unacceptable negligence." Where the Crown is unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, it has failed to meet its disclosure obligations and there has been a violation of s. 7 of the Charter. Such failure may also suggest an abuse of process has occurred but that is a separate question. It is not necessary that the defendant establish abuse of process for the Crown to have failed to meet its s. 7 obligation to disclose. Justice Sopinka then went on, at para. 25, to hold that: "[W]here the Crown has met its disclosure obligations, in order to make out a breach of s. 7 on the ground of lost evidence, the accused must establish actual prejudice to his or her right to make full answer and defence."
There are, then, two categories of lost evidence cases. One where deliberate destruction of evidence has occurred and the other being the general category. Justice Sopinka described the two categories in La, at para. 26, where he affirmed his opinion in Carosella: "The justice system functions best and instills public confidence in its decisions when its processes are able to make available all relevant evidence which is not excluded by some overriding public policy. Confidence in the system would be undermined if the administration of justice condoned conduct designed to defeat the processes of the court. The agency made a decision to obstruct the course of justice by systematically destroying evidence which the practices of the court might be required to be produced. This decision is not one for the agency to make. Under our system, which is governed by the rule of law, decisions as to which evidence is to be produced or admitted is for the courts. It is this feature of the appeal in particular that distinguishes this case from lost evidence cases generally." (See: Carosella, at para. 56)
3. Lost Evidence in Alberta
The law as applied in Alberta is consistent with the two categories recognized in La. In R v Grimes, 1998 ABCA 9, the defendant was also charged with sexual assault. The trial judge granted his application for a stay of proceedings because school records and bank records had been destroyed after seven years as routine business practice. The defendant asserted that the destroyed records would assist him in establishing an alibi. The trial judge ruled that it was not relevant to consider whether the defendant had been prejudiced. In the per curiam ruling, at paras. 10 and 12, the Alberta Court of Appeal held that this case was governed by La and not Carosella:
"We recognize that there are portions of the Carosella decision which could be interpreted as applying to lost evidence cases, and holding that prejudice need not be proved to establish a breach of the accused's s. 7 Charter rights. A complete reading of the majority decision as well as the subsequent interpretation of that decision in R. v. La leads us to conclude that Carosella must be limited to its peculiar circumstances, being the deliberate destruction of records, for the purpose of ensuring that the records would be unavailable to assist a certain class of defendant.
We are dealing with documents in the possession of third parties who destroyed the documents after seven years as part of a routine policy regarding the destruction of business records. There is no suggestion that any of the records were destroyed for other than legitimate business purposes, or that there was any intent to interfere with the ability of the Courts to access that evidence."
The court therefore concluded, at para. 20, that "[i]n lost evidence cases, prejudice, or conduct amounting to an abuse of the process of the court…must be established to ground a finding that the appellant's Charter rights have been breached." However, in La, at para. 1, Justice Sopinka stated that a remedy may be warranted in extraordinary cases in which a satisfactory explanation is given by the Crown for the loss of evidence and no abuse is found but the evidence is so important that its loss renders a fair trial problematic. (See also: Grimes, at para. 24)
Judicial discretion with respect to the timing of a lost evidence application creates a dangerous procedural choice for the applicant. In La, Justice Sopinka emphasized, at para. 27, that "[t]he appropriateness of a stay of proceedings depends upon the effect of the conduct amounting to an abuse of process or other prejudice on the fairness of the trial." Although that is often best assessed in the context of the trial, the trial judge has discretion to consider an application on a pretrial motion or after hearing some of the evidence. And that was the haunting of Girou. The lost evidence application was brought on a "pre-trial voir dire". The court said this about the procedural choice, at para. 13:
"Here, the Crown and defence agreed that the stay application could be heard before the trial proper. Although this was a well-intentioned effort to expedite matters and to reduce costs to the justice system, the trial judge, as the ultimate guardian of trial fairness, ought to have considered whether such a process could produce a just result in the circumstances. On the record before us, the extent of the prejudice is largely speculative. There is nothing exceptional or manifest that mandated adopting this procedure."
But that only begs the question. In the post-Jordan world, enormous pressure is being exerted on defence lawyers, and Crown attorneys, to meet speedy trial deadlines and streamline Charter applications. The comment of the Girou court is a good reminder that administrative efficiency is not a substitute for a fair trial.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing. Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you? you of little faith. Therefore do not worry, saying, "what will we eat?' or "what will we drink?' or "what we wear?' For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well".
Anxiety is a common problem. We all worry about life. We worry about school, about our jobs, about our children and about our health. Sometimes, even when we don't have anything to worry about, we still worry. It's kind of strange that I have nothing to worry about and that makes me worry. One comedian said, "You know, there is a day when everything goes so well and that drives me crazy". I think these comedians know very well about life. Yes, when there's nothing to worry about, you start to think oh my goodness, why don't I have anything to worry about? and we start worrying about. Sometimes we have this superstition. If we have something to worry about, that won't happen to me at the kind of superstition because often what we worry about does not get realized, so worries always follow us like a shadow. It is not a good feeling when you constantly have this dark cloud over your head. Anxiety is a psychological problem, but I believe that it is a spiritual subject to deal with. We need spiritual disciplines to overcome our anxiety. We need to deal with what is going on in our heart to deal with anxiety, and dealing with what's going on in our heart is a future subject.
Myron Augsburger, a mennonite scholar, summarized anxiety in three words, "Irreverent, irrelevant and irresponsible", irreverent because there is no respect for God. Into this scripture, Jesus said not to worry about and he gave the main reason. The main reason was because God will take care of you, don't worry. Simple. God will take care of you. He said, "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which do you believe that? You are of more value than those things, lilies of the field and birds of the air. If you believe that, I mean they don't do anything but God takes care of them. If you believe that you're more value than them, why do we worry? God will take care of your basic needs. What Jesus is saying is we worry because we don't believe that God will take care of our needs. We should not worry about what we shall eat or what we shall drink or about our body, what will we wear. These are important things, but also, these are basic necessities of life. Jesus saying that Jesus will take care of your basic needs. We need to trust that God will take care of our basic needs and we need to experience that in life. I've experienced this many times in my life. All my life, I've lived not with much money. Even when I was in the beginning of ministry and when I was a student, I lived with just the basics. My salary was $700 and then rent was $700. After that, what do I do? how do I survive? and that's how I lived, but even at that time, everything was all right. God is taking care of our basic needs. All this time, if we can not entrust our basic needs in God's hands, we can not entrust anything to God. There is a big difference between the people who entrust their basic needs to God and people who don't. There's a quality difference. If you don't entrust your basic needs in God's hands, you can never become a bigger person. You will always worry about what to eat, what to wear. You can never become a bigger thinking. You'll be enslaved to your fear, so to fight against anxiety, you have to have spiritual discipline to entrust your basic needs in God's hands. Then your life will be enriched and you will have confidence in life. You can go beyond worrying about your basic needs. You will see bigger things in life; so about your job, about your daily living, God will take care of your basic needs. Don't worry about it, and do something beyond your basic needs.
Second, it is irrelevant to worry about things. In other words, it's no use. Worrying does not do any good to you. Jesus said, "can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?", you cannot do anything productive by worrying about it. Sometimes by worrying about your problems, you make the problems worse. You ruined your health both physically and mentally. It is a waste of time and waste of your energy. Spend your time and energy for the things that you can do something about it. Don't spend that on worrying about your life, by worrying about them you get absorbed deeper into your problems and you'll be affected both physically and mentally, so it's no use. Then what do we do? What are spiritual disciplines? The first one is you entrust your basic needs in God's hands, in second spiritual, a display because it is no use. What do we do? Whenever you worry, turn that into prayer. Make that as your discipline. If there is a subject that you're worrying about, instead of worrying about it, turn that into prayer. There's an old hymn, a sweet hour of prayer is a beautiful hymn. Let me read the verses, "sweet hour of prayers sweet hour of prayer that calls me from a world of care, and bids me and my father's throne. Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief. My soul has often found relief, our cast on him, my every care and wait for the sweet hour of prayer, our cast on him, my every care and way for these sweet hour of prayer. That's what prayer is, when you turn your anxiety into prayer, you can defeat your anxiety problem. When you have an anxiety attack, turn that into prayer. Your prayer will become real and you will do a lot of prayer too.
We all worry about things, but every time when we turn that into prayer, you'll become prayer people not worriers, and I want all of you to become prayer people. Worries and anxieties do nothing for you, but prayer brings miracles. When you worry about things, nothing will happen, but when you turn that into prayer, you'll experience God's miracles. That's why Saint Paul said this, "Do not worry about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication". This is Saint Paul's spiritual discipline. Whenever he worries about things, he turned that into prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. When you turn your worries into prayer, God's peace will guard your heart. You will become strong. Your heart will become strong. That's a miracle to me. You don't have feeble heart anymore. You'd have a very strong, peaceful heart. Your life will change.
Third, it is irresponsible to worry, in what ways is it responsible? Worrying to me is escapism. Worry is escapism. It is a way of escaping your problems. Instead of dealing with challenges of life, you hide behind the anxiety, even though we know that worrying does nothing to deal with our challenges because worrying is easier and safer then dealing with problems, we choose to worry so we hide in that way It is irresponsible. When life's troubles attack us, we believer's do not sit on our problems or hide behind our worries. Jesus said, conclusively, do not worry about things in life, but seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be alright. That's Jesus principle. When challenges of life attack you instead of worrying about it, seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be alright. Focus on good things that you can do for other people. Don't waste your life worrying about your problems. Focus your eyes on the things that you can do for other people. Worries, have no power. They have no weight. We just empower them. We just give them the power, but worrying itself has no power, unless you give it, give the power to the worry. And when worries come, You do this "blow it out, try it". When worries come just blow out, come on worries have no power. No weight, it just goes off when you do that. Worries contained in your head, mind, just shake it away. They have no power whatsoever to do anything to you.
But always focus on your heart and mind. What can I do for other people? People who are in difficult situations, people who are in need, that should be your agenda every day. Not on your problems. If you seek first the Kingdom of God, everything else will be alright. That's how we fight against anxiety. I hope that you cultivate these spiritual disciplines to fight against your worries and anxieties. So these three things; first entrust your basic needs in God's hands, two turn your worries into prayer, three focus on good things you can do for God and for others. I hope that this will help you to deal with your own worry problems.

Félix Pyat (1810 - 1889) was a French Socialist politician (elected twice to the National Assembly) and journalist, born in Vierzon (Cher). He was known for his virulent left wing writing and political activism, and outbursts against the authorities: he proposed a motion to abolish the presidential office; he joined the abortive radicalist attempt of June 13th 1849; he glorified regicide after Orsini's attempt against Napoleon III; he took part in the revolution of September 4th 1870 (demanding a republic). He published 'Le Combat' (suppressed in 1871) then the equally virulent 'Vengeur'. He repeatedly left France (for Belgium, Switzerland, or England) to avoid prosecution.
He was active in the Paris Commune (March-May 1871), directing acts of violence such as the overthrow of the Vendome column and the destruction of Thiers's residence and of the memorial chapel to Louis XVI. He escaped the revenge of the Versailles government, and crossed the frontier in safety. He was condemned to death in absentia in 1873, but came back to Paris after the general amnesty of July 1880. He was elected deputy for Bouches-du-Rhone in 1888, took his seat on the extreme Left, but died at Saint-Gratien the following year.
A great storm occurred on February 27th 1903. In Phoenix park, this PC states, 2948 trees were blown down.

From EB11: James Whiteside (1804 - 1876) was an Irish politician and judge. The son of William Whiteside, a clergyman of the Church of Ireland, he was educated at Trinity College, being called to the Irish bar in 1830. He very rapidly acquired a large practice, and after taking silk in 1842 he gained a reputation for forensic oratory surpassing that of all his contemporaries, and rivalling that of his most famous predecessors of the 18c. He defended Daniel O'Connell in the state trial of 1843, and William Smith O'Brien in 1848; his greatest triumph was in the Yelverton case in 1861. He was elected member for Enniskillen in 1851, and in 1859 became member for Dublin University. In Parliament, he was no less successful as a speaker than at the bar, and in 1852 was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland in the first administration of the earl of Derby, becoming attorney general in 1858, and again in 1866. In the same year he was appointed chief justice of the Queen's Bench. Whiteside was a man of handsome presence, attractive personality and cultivated tastes.

Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body's immune system tries to fight it. White blood cells (WBCs) move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect in the damaged tissue. During this process, pus forms. Pus is the buildup of fluid, living and dead white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria or other foreign substances.
Abscesses can form in almost any part of the body. The skin, under the skin, and the teeth are the most common sites. Abscesses may be caused by bacteria, parasites, and foreign substances.
Abscesses in the skin are easy to see. They are red, raised, and painful. Abscesses in other areas of the body may not be seen, but they may cause organ damage.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, focusing on the symptoms of the abscess.
Often, a sample of fluid will be taken from the abscess and tested to see what type of germ is causing the problem.
Treatment varies, but often surgery to drain the abscess, antibiotics, or both are needed.
Call your provider if you think that you have any type of abscess.
Preventing abscesses depends on where they develop. For example, good hygiene can help prevent skin abscesses. Dental hygiene and routine care will prevent tooth abscesses.

CBA Hires Alex Fitton '09 as New Varsity Swimming Coach
Written by Jason Lutz / CBA
The former CBA and South Carolina swimmer takes over the 11-time state champion program.
LINCROFT, N.J. –November 2, 2020 – Christian Brothers Academy Athletics is pleased to announce that Alex Fitton '09 has been selected as the new head coach of the varsity swimming program.
Fitton served as an assistant coach for the Colts in 2018-2019, helping guide CBA to its 10th state championship.
"CBA is fortunate to welcome back Alex Fitton to lead our swimming program," Director of Athletics Michael Mazzaccaro said. "The knowledge and experience Alex can bring to our swimmers is second to none. His storied swimming career at CBA and the University of South Carolina, combined with years of coaching, provides us with the utmost confidence that Alex will continue the program's recent excellence."
The 2009 CBA team captain was the high point scorer during his senior season, as well as earning All-American honors during his junior year. In 2009, he broke the Shore Conference 200 IM record and set the CBA team record in the 200 freestyle. Fitton won five individual Shore Conference titles during his CBA career.
"It is an honor and a privilege to have the chance to lead this team and be given the opportunity to give back to a school that gave so much to me," Fitton said. "I can only hope I am able to leave my swimmers with the same positive experiences and memories that I had during my time at CBA."
Fitton went on to star at the University of South Carolina, where he was a 2013 NCAA All-American and an Olympic Trials qualifier in 2012. He set five different records during his time at South Carolina.

Aside from serving as an assistant coach at CBA, Fitton has coaching experience at the Red Bank YMCA, where he worked with both youth swimmers and the senior national team.
Now, Fitton has the opportunity to continue a tradition of winning championships with the Colts.
"My goal will be to continue the excellence of CBA Swimming, while incorporating the knowledge that I have picked up throughout my swimming and coaching career," Fitton said. "I have had the luxury of having two incredible coaches in Mike Sullivan and Vito Chiaravalloti. I aim to reaffirm the program's goals and values, picking up right where Coach Vito and last year's state championship team left off."
Christian Brothers has won 10 of the last 11 state championships dating back to 2010, including the last three titles. The Colts have also won an astounding 30-straight Shore Conference and Monmouth County championships, as both streaks began during the program's first year in 1990.
High school swimming remains one of New Jersey's most competitive sports, so Fitton knows that every year will be a challenge, especially at the state championship level.
"We will understandably have a target on our back [as defending state champions] and know that we are going to get every opponent's best effort," Fitton said. "Our swimmers understand that each new season is a clean slate, and we will have to put the work in every day to earn the right to be considered among the state's best."
The Colts' season will get underway with practices in early December, before starting their competition slate later that month.


Governor Nathan Deal (R-GA) is not sure why the Republican National Committee passed a resolution against the Common Core State Standards. He believes they are a state-led effort and they make sense.
The federal government did not mandate it, they did not control it, they did not dictate its content. I think there is also a misunderstanding between the Common Core standards, which simply says these are the things that a student needs to know or be able to do at certain grade levels in their school progress, as opposed to a Common Core curriculum, whereby you dictate what is taught. That is not the case here, so I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what the Common Core does.
And we have been somewhat the victim I think in the past of our textbooks, and our material has generally all been dictated by the three large states that had the most student population, the New York, and the Texas and the Californians, and each of those states had standards that were different than the state of Georgia. So what we are currently doing with (Criterion Referenced Competency Tests) is testing them to a standard, and many times the material that has been available to the teachers and to the students is material that is written to the standards of another state. So this is an effort to try to get it all on the same track. I think that's the effort that we should continue to follow.
Until somebody can show me a reason for deviating from it, and I think anytime you take major action like that, you have to have a good justification for it.
. "High" points for significant number of States are earned if the consortium includes a majority of the States in the country.
If there were other consortiums that fit the bill then Governor Deal would have a point, but that wasn't the case. Also I find it interesting that Governor Deal made no mention about the PARCC consortium that Georgia is a part of which is funded by the Feds. They've also set up a review committee for the assessments.
That's not federal control? Yes we recognize that standards are not curriculum, but assessments and standards drive curriculum. He complains about other states dictating to Georgia what text books are available. The ironic thing is he is complicit in helping to create a text book monopoly which will make if difficult for states that do not implement the Common Core, private schools and even homeschoolers to find materials not aligned to the Common Core.
As far as having a good justification – what, the fact they were never field tested isn't enough? The fact it will cost Georgia an additional $30 million per year to implement the PARCC assessments isn't justification enough? Concern about the quality of the standards themselves isn't enough? Then there's the simple fact his legislature was bypassed in the decision-making process or does he not believe in the constitutional system of checks and balances?
What will convince him? A generation of students who graduate with a subpar education all in the name of "common standards"?
it seems that many of the governors are of a certain demographic, no young kids in school to see common core first hand, and lots of whispering lobbyists in their ears that they are not really cognizant of what is occuring. also perhaps they partook of the hors d'oerves tray a few years back if ya know what I mean.

What Microservices Bring to the Digital Workplace
By Sam Marshall | Apr 16, 2019
PHOTO: Rijaluddin Abdur rozzaq
The idea of microservices has been around for over a decade, but we have only recently started seeing their impact on digital workplace design. My hope is this non-technical introduction will help intranet and digital workplace managers understand why microservices can be helpful in their objectives and how it can improve the digital employee experience.
Wells Fargo Puts Microservices to Work
Wells Fargo, the multinational financial services company, has a leading-edge intranet, called Teamworks. The Wells Fargo team used microservices extensively as a design principle, creating a solution that genuinely integrates their digital workplace in a way that few other intranets have achieved.
Wells Fargo employees see a single pane of notifications across their internal services
Microservices allow them to integrate multiple employee applications into a single page, not just as links but as actionable cards. Instead of having to track multiple locations for alerts (or receive multiple emails), employees also have access to a single "Notifications" sidebar, which shows status updates and where actions are required.
As Pete Fields, a digital channels leader at Wells Fargo put it, "The bottom line is that we control the team member experience, rather than ceding that to a third party."

Microservices in the Digital Workplace
Microservices allows businesses to move away from monolithic applications by breaking them down into component parts. For example, rather than having an HR System to deal with everything from vacation booking to health insurance, you create each element as a separate microservice.
Traditional systems tend to be monolithic, such as all HR processes in one application
A microservices approach breaks each process down into a separate service
When everything lives in one application, it can be hard to integrate a specific element with an intranet or employee application. In the worst case, an employee might click on "Pension" in an intranet, and end up on a generic login page for the whole HR system, and then have to navigate once again to the pension section.
But micro-applications go much further than simply deep linking. They allow other systems to show real data and facilitate interactions without going to another interface. Often these are standardized as cards (as seen in the screenshot from Wells Fargo below).
Wells Fargo's intranet allows interactions with multiple employee services from a single, consistent interface
If you're thinking "this just sounds like APIs," you're partly right: microservices are a way of doing APIs that work over web protocols, but they differ in that they move away from a monolithic application providing the API.

Microservices Benefits
Microservices provide benefits both at a technical level, and for employees.
1. A consistent employee experience
Jumping between applications is both time-consuming and potentially confusing for employees, as each interface needs to be learned individually. Microservices make it much easier to do everything in one place.
"It was difficult for us to integrate with, for example, our IBM Connections enterprise social network. Now, with a microservices framework, we're agnostic. That vision of abstracting data and capability from other systems and pulling it in to one, consistent user experience is within reach" said Wells Fargo's Fields.
In principle, it's even possible to replace one backend system with another and not have employees even notice, because the interface stays unchanged.
2. Access the same processes from multiple interfaces
As we saw in the Wells Fargo example, microservices allow transactions to be surfaced in an intranet. But the same principle means they can also appear elsewhere, such as in a dedicated employee app, or via a chatbot interface.
Liberty Mutual, another pioneer of the microservice approach in the digital workplace, exploit this to good effect by having both an app and a chatbot that can aggregate approvals.
The same service can be accessed from multiple interfaces, such as an employee app, digital room display or calendar
3. Resilience
One of the reasons why companies like Netflix and Amazon have embraced microservices is they are more robust and allow for upgrades of small components in isolation. Wells Fargo's Fields put it like this:
"It used to be that we were either up, or we were down. And if any part of the portal was down, we were down. Today, with lightly coupled microservices, our Market Data app can be down, but the rest of the portal loads and performs independently. Architecturally, this is just more resilient, and we've already experienced the benefits of that."
And on the upgrade front, he added: "In a microservices world, we don't necessarily have to take the entire platform down for a release. We can release just to the World Clock service, or to the Search service, or to the header or footer service. And since we can do that, we don't necessarily need to do the releases over a weekend."

Challenges and Limitations of a Microservices Approach
Microservices aren't for everyone. Most significantly, managing them can increase complexity. Integration can also pose challenges. Many current intranet examples are really a kind of microservices mid-layer on top of more traditional systems. This requires substantial up-front effort to create integrations.
As the concept takes off, I'm sure more vendors will start to take on this workload. The spin-off of the Workgrid product by Liberty Mutual, and the acquisition of Sapho by Citrix are early indications of what may be a significant new trend in the digital workplace industry.

- Episode 173
At the Palmer house, Beryl shows Angela the birthday cake she's made, and Angela tells her it's good. Beryl asks Angela if she's looking foward to the party, and Angela replies that tonight will be good, but first she's got to get through this afternoon, and Domine's arrival. Beryl asks Angela how she feels about that, and Angela says she's nervous. Changing the subject, Beryl tells Angela about Lynn going to see Patricia yesterday, and about how David hit the roof when he found out. Angela tells Beryl not to waste any sympathy on Patricia, but Beryl explains that all Lynn can see is a woman who was kind to her and Davey, and who can't understand why the rest of the Palmers don't like the things she's done. Angela remarks that at least Lynn has an excuse. Beryl asks her if she's referring to John, and adds that he's too soft-hearted. Angela says she's worried about him, but Beryl says he has to find out for himself.
John and Patricia are at a car showroom, and Patricia shows her son the new BMW she's just bought him. John is flabbergasted, and tells Patricia that she didn't have to do it, but Patricia replies that she wanted to. She then tells him that she's been thinking about how she treated him when he first turned up and she didn't know who he was. Now, though... John tells his mother that she's spoiling him, but Patricia tells him that he deserves it.
Doug Palmer is walking up to the Palmer house when he sees Lynn in the front garden with Davey. He asks her if that's the little nipper and Lynn explains about how he was named after David. Doug just tells Lynn that he'll see her inside. He walks towards the house as Lynn stares after him.
Beryl remarks on how it's nearly a year since they've seen him, yet he's barely changed. She introduces Angela, and after a hesitant shake of hands, Angela hugs him tightly, telling him that she's glad they've finally met. She adds that she's sorry he couldn't be at the wedding, but Doug just comments that travel isn't cheap. He tells Beryl that Rob is a lucky young chap, and Beryl agrees that she thinks so. Angela announces that she has to go home and get ready. As she leaves, Doug wishes her a happy birthday.
A while later, Beryl pours Doug a cuppa, and says she'll cut him some cake. Doug tells her about seeing Lynn and the baby, and adds that he thinks she and Kevin are far too young. Beryl says she doesn't want to hear any 'told you sos', otherwise there'll be fighting before everyone knows where they are. A 'hurt' Doug says he thought they could talk about it, but Beryl tells him that the kids are very happy. She adds that they should just wait and see what happens. She asks Doug what he thinks of his first great grandchild, but he just replies, "Pretty much like any baby."
Susan, Kevin, Lynn and Beryl are blowing up balloons. Kevin remarks on how he thinks Doug is being pretty childish, adding that he doesn't seem to have changed. Beryl reminds him, though, that the last time Doug and David had an argument, it was over him, and David stuck up for him. Kevin says Doug has a dirty mind, but Susan reminds him that he and Lynn got married only a month later. The 'phone rings, and Lynn goes to answer it. Susan tells the rest of the family that Rob looked as proud as punch when she left home. Lynn comes back in and says the caller is Donna. Kevin tells her to ask Donna how she did in her history. Lynn goes back into the lounge and shuts the kitchen doors behind her. Picking up the 'phone again, she tells the real caller - Mrs. Collins - that she's surprised she's being offered a job so soon. Mrs. Collins explains that she thought Lynn had 'the look' as soon as she saw her, but she had to check with the client first. Lynn asks what exactly the job is, and Mrs. Collins tells her that it's the 'Melbourne Nightlife Fashion Spread', and Lynn will be required to model the schoolgirl look. She adds that there's one problem - the job is tonight. She says she hopes Lynn can manage it. Lynn looks concerned.
John pulls up at Ramberg in his BMW. He gets out and sees Jill walking over to him. He jokes that she can tell he's the boss! John asks her why she's there, and Jill explains that Fiona has taken Domine over to Rob and Angela's and she didn't want to be in the way. She had nothing better to do, so she thought she'd pay a visit. John tells her that it's good to see her. He shows off his car, and Jill jokes, "Some people have all the luck!" She then says she supposes it's a present from Patricia, and John admits that it is. Jill asks how things are, and John tells her that he's sticking by his mother. He adds that Patricia is sensible, and knows it would be a right mess if she went to the party.
At the South Yarra property, Patricia takes a black dress out of a carrier bag...
Rob finds the presents from Patricia in the bin, and takes them out. Angela comes into the kitchen and sees the gifts on the worktop. She asks Rob if he put them there, and he says he did. Angela then explains to him that they were from Patricia, and she didn't want them - although she felt childish throwing them away like that. Rob tells Angela that he's glad she's not being sucked in by her mother. There's a knock at the door, and Angela answers it. It's Fiona and Domine, and Angela invites them in. Fiona remarks that she supposes they were wondering where she'd got to! Rob takes Domine and tells her that this will be her new home. Fiona looks upset.
Jill tells John that she couldn't understand it, but John says Fiona has always been funny with kids. Jill remarks that it's probably because she lost her own kid, and adds that that's probably why she loved John so much. John admits that he can't remember much about living with Fiona, but agrees that she must have been terrific, as he didn't see her for 15 years, but he never forgot her. Noticing the time, Jill tells John that he's already late, so he might as well take her for a spin. John agrees, and tells Jill to hop in. He shuts her door for her, and then stands, smiling at her. Jill smiles back. John tells her that it's really nice to see her again, and Jill happily replies, "Same here."
In the back garden of the Palmer house, Kevin asks Lynn if she's alright, but Lynn just says, "Yeah, why?" Kevin says he's not glad that Doug's there, either, but it's silly to let him get them down. Lynn, though, says it's not that. She confesses that the call earlier wasn't from Donna - it was from the agency, and they've got a job for her to do - tonight. Kevin tells her she can't, but Lynn says there'll be so many guests there, that she won't be missed. She adds that she really wants to do it. Kevin asks why it's so important, and Lynn replies that it's a job - something she did on her own. Kevin points out that Charlie had a hand, but Lynn tells him that Charlie only introduced her to the agency. Kevin remarks that it's funny how a job came up so quickly, but Lynn replies that she probably won't even get any more work. She pleads, "Please?" Kevin gives in, and says they'll have to tell the others, although he adds that they won't be pleased - especially David. Lynn points out, "It's our life."
David tells Lynn that she should have said no, but Kevin says it's alright by him. Beryl chips in that she thinks it's exciting, and Susan agrees. She asks what the pay's like, but Lynn says she forgot to ask. Doug emerges from one of the bedrooms in his dressing gown, and immediately finds himself competing for space with umpteen balloons and streamers! He suddenly notices David, who just says, "Dad." Doug replies, "G'day, son." David suggests that he and Doug should have a beer, while everyone else gets on with the preparations.
John is ready to leave for the party, and he asks Patricia if she'll be alright. Patricia says she'll be fine. She tells John that he looks nice, and then adds that it's time he went. She tells him to have a lovely time, and they hug. John goes, and Patricia then quickly goes to the 'phone and dials a number. She gets through to a cab firm, and orders a car to take her from South Yarra to Albert Park at seven o'clock...
The party is in full swing, and Gordon pours Fiona a glass of champagne. Fiona jokes that she's glad it's the real stuff! Doug sourly remarks that it's lolly water if you ask him. Rosie agrees with him, saying she's never really acquired a taste for the stuff. Doug asks Rosie if she works for Gordon, and Gordon chips in, "Best there is." Rosie tells Doug to call her Rosie. Doug introduces himself. Fiona winks at Gordon! Elsewhere in the lounge, David asks Angela how she feels, and Angela replies, "How do you think?" Jill is with John, and she remarks that it's nice to see Angela and Rob happy. John says, "Yeah." Jill asks him about his car, but John says the rest of the Palmers think he shouldn't have accepted it. He offers to get Jill another drink, and goes into the kitchen, where he spots one of Beryl's famous pavlovas! He remarks to Beryl about how Doug seems to think Rosie is alright! Lynn comes in, all dressed up, and Beryl asks her if she's nervous. Lynn says she's terrified, but Beryl tells her she'll be terrific. John announces that Fiona wants to take a family photo, and everyone piles back into the lounge. Fiona goes off to find her camera, and Beryl tells Kevin to give Davey to Doug. Rosie remarks on how Davey is a sweet little fellow. Fiona comes back with her camera and everyone - including Gordon, Jill and Rosie - stands in front of the curtains as Fiona takes her shot.
The 'phone rings at the South Yarra house, and Patricia, who is wearing her new dress, answers it. It's the cab company, who tell her that her car is out the front. Patricia picks up her wrap and goes out.
Beryl has set out the food on the table, and tells everyone to get stuck in. Angela asks her if they shouldn't wait for David, but Beryl says he won't be long, as he's just dropping Lynn off. She goes into the kitchen, and orders Susan to go and eat something. Susan remarks on how David is taking his time, but Beryl explains that he felt bad for making a fuss over Lynn's modelling. Susan asks Beryl if she said something to him, but Beryl just says Lynn was nervous, and she thought it would be useful to have someone with her to take her mind off things. Doug tells Rosie about how he thinks the Palmers could make something of their yard, and he adds that he might offer to help out. Rosie asks him if that means he's staying on, and Doug replies that he wouldn't mind, as he could do with a holiday.
Patricia's cab pulls up outside the Palmer house, and she gets out. The cab drives off, and then David pulls up. He quickly gets out of his car and yells at Patricia, asking her what she reckons she's doing. Patricia calmly says that it's ridiculous that she's not there. David asks her if John knows she's coming, but Patricia tells him it's a surprise. David snaps that he told her she's not wanted there, but Patricia yells back that it's a big day for the twins - it's their 21st birthday, and she has a right to be there. David yells, "Tough!" Patricia starts to walk towards the front gate, but David darts round her and blocks her way. He orders her to leave, but Patricia says she has a perfect right to be there, yelling, "I'm their mother." David yells back, "And I'm their father," but Patricia yells, "That's what you think." She goes on to tell him that she was pregnant when she met him, and John and Angela aren't his children. She goes on, "Oh, that would make a nice little birthday present, wouldn't it." David slaps her round the face, and tells her that if she dares to show her face inside, he'll flatten her. He goes inside, leaving Patricia standing on the pavement, looking stunned.
Back at the party, Beryl asks David if Lynn was OK, and David replies that she was fine. Kevin asks what the setup was, and David explains that there were just a couple of blokes and some cameras. Beryl asks David if he's OK, but David replies that there's nothing a beer won't fix. John offers to get it, but Beryl sends Kevin. She then announces to the gathered guests that David is about to propose a toast. John and Angela reluctantly go and stand in the centre of the room, and David jokes that he's glad he left the wedding speech to Gordon! He says there's not much to say - they're two beaut kids, and he's proud to be their dad. Doug comments on how his son never did know how to make a speech! Fiona leads the guests in singing 'Happy Birthday', and then Rob leads the three cheers. Fiona starts singing 'For they are jolly good fellows', and everyone else joins in, but noone notices that David looks quietly concerned. John puts his arm around Angela, and they look really happy. As the singing continues, Patricia is still standing outside, crying...

[His Highness' History, Mohamed Abdelkarim 2014]
Ahmed's Revenge and Other Untold Stories is Mohamed Abdelkarim's first major solo exhibition, bringing together a wide range of works from 2010 to 2015. It features videos, installations, books, digital images, sculptures, found materials and objects, as well as a newly commissioned performance on the opening night: Ahmed's Revenge, part of the series Possibilities of Telling a Story, featuring the artist himself along with two actors.
In his works Abdelkarim probes the narrative patterns of myth, history and ideology, by employing a variety of aesthetic forms: from cinematic and documentary strategies to 3d graphics; from oral story telling to religious rhetoric. Personal anecdotes are interwoven with historical events, where real and imagined protagonists – such as Christopher Columbus and Islamic theorist Sayyid Qutb - reincarnate from one story to another, crystallizing collective desires into fictitious personae. What emerges is a speculative historiography that relies as much on conspiracy theories, or cinematic convention, as on fact; where historical truth unfolds as an encounter between an event and its manifold mediation.
Mohamed Abdelkarim (born 1983 in El-Minya, Egypt) lives in Cairo and Sierre, Switzerland. He completed his BA in Art Education in Cairo in 2005 and took part in the Ashkal Alwan Home Workspace Program 2011. Among other places, his works have been included in PhotoCairo 5, Contemporary Image Collective, Cairo (2012); Cairo-Documenta, Hotel Viennoise, Cairo (2012); Tokyo Wonder Site, Japan (2012); Thessaloniki Biennale, Greece (2011); Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Switzerland (2011); and Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi, Pakistan.
The performance piece Ahmed's Revenge will feature contributions by Muhammed Hatem, Ahmed Sobhy and Hisham Hamad.
Part of AUC_LAB and produced by the Visual Cultures Program of the Arts Department at the American University in Cairo.

Liam Payne: 'One Direction was Never Zayn's Sort of Music'

Zayn Malik might dig One Direction's newest tune, "Drag Me Down" ("Proud of my boys the new single is sick," the former bandmate tweeted on Saturday afternoon), but 1D's sound was never particularly up Malik's alley, Liam Payne has said.
During an interview with Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 this morning (August 3), Payne spoke up about Malik's departure from the group in March, and explained that the solo artist always seemed destined for a different type of career.
"One Direction was never Zayn's sort of music, so he kind of always wanted to find something else," Payne said, according to Billboard. "If your heart's not into something, you can't just carry on doing it because of fame and stuff. You have to go and do what you want to do."
In March, Malik told The Sun that he believed he was doing right by his former fellow group members by bowing out of One Direction when it didn't feel sincere to keep pressing forward.
"I only ever tried to do it for the fans, and it was only ever for them…I'm only upset (because) I feel like I may have let them down in some sort of way," he said. "That's the main thing that I don't want to happen. t's not that I've turned my back on them or anything, it's just that I just can't do that anymore because it's not real to me."
Tell us what you think of Payne's remarks in the comments below!

Covid-19 vaccination sought for all Phu Quoc residents to reopen to foreign tourists
Authorities in Kien Giang Province, home to Phu Quoc, are planning to vaccinate the island's population against Covid-19 so that it can reopen its doors to foreigners.
Central province wants airport on Ly Son Island
Con Dao affirms Vietnam's sea and islands beauty
Lam Minh Thanh, chairman of the province, said the island has got the green light from the Politburo to trial vaccine passports and so the government would be asked to prioritize vaccination for the 100,000 residents of Phu Quoc.
Tourists sunbathe on Khem Beach, Phu Quoc Island, 2019.
If everything goes well, the island could allow foreigners back in by September or October this year, he added.
Visitors to the island must be fully vaccinated, failing which they will be quarantined and only allowed to visit isolated resorts.
Vietnam's largest island has become a top tourist destination after the government rolled out a 30-day visa-free policy for foreigners in 2014.
In 2019, the last year before the onset of the pandemic, it received over five million visitors, including 541,600 foreigners.
Kien Giang Province has been Covid-free during the ongoing fourth wave that began on April 27.
The Politburo, the main decision-making body of the Communist Party, last week called for trialing vaccine passports so that foreigners could visit some tourist destinations that have contained the pandemic like Phu Quoc Island.
Vietnam closed its borders and canceled all international flights in March last year. Only Vietnamese repatriates, foreign experts, diplomats, investors, and highly-skilled workers have been allowed since with stringent quarantine requirements.
Nation's sea and islands impress in "Travel to love - Seas beckon" tourism video
Vietnam's stunning seas and islands have been impressively represented in a new video posted on YouTube by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), on April 6.
