Will heat wave affect flights out of Sky Harbor? Probably notPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- It was 23 years ago this week (June 26, 1990) that airline pilots did not know if their planes had the performance to take off in the Valley of the Sun's 122-degree heat.
It wasn't that their aircraft couldn't fly in the high heat,. They just had no written information to confirm the performance. Their flight manuals, which give them take-off distances. were not written with such high temperatures in the equation.
Without that vital information, flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were grounded for a short time.
Since then, the manuals have been revised to include the high temperatures we experience here in desert Southwest, so there should be no flight delays due to the extreme heat this weekend.
Aircraft are just like humans. They don't like the heat any more than we do.
In hotter temperatures, the air molecules are not as dense, which will reduce the amount of lift a wing produces. When that happens, all performance is reduced, forcing aircraft to make longer take-off runs to get off the ground.
There were only slight delays 23 years ago when the airlines needed time to do the calculations that pilots used to take off in the record heat.

Global Demand Response Markets Witness a New Round of Upswings thanks to Improved Incentive Schemes
Many reasons contribute towards the astounding CAGR of 21.6% for the global smart demand response market between 2014 and 2025. The market's earlier value of US$5.041 billion in 2013 is expected to skyrocket to US$51.479 billion in 2025. These figures represent the efforts that are being taken to introduce a system that works on the demand side of the power systems in the world.
The entire premise of demand response is based on the fact that it is practically difficult to store power in such large scales for long durations. Which is why the supply has to be the same as the demand in order to maintain an uninterrupted power supply. Demand response was portrayed to be the last line of defense against an impending power grid collapse. In theory, the concept of a demand response system is simple: at the time of peak power consumption, instead of asking the supply to increase, it asks for the demand to decrease. Users of demand response are offered incentives depending on the overall power that they save at times of a demand response call.
Browse the full Smart Demand Response Market Report at-
The Global Smart Demand Response Market Today
Current demand response schemes are categorized into two: incentive-based schemes, which are mandated through contract, and price-based schemes, which are completely voluntary.
- A price-based demand response encourages end users to shift or change their power demands in accordance with changing price signals. This lets them consume less power when it is costlier and more when it is cheaper. The various types of price-based demand response systems used are time-of-use (TOU) rates, real-time pricing (RTP), and critical-peak pricing (CTP).
- On the other hand, an incentive-based demand response system relies on the actions of members present on the supply side of the chain: the load-serving entities, utilities, and even grid operators. In an incentive-based demand response system, end users are paid when they reduce their power consumption during peak usage periods. The basic segments within an incentive-based demand response program are interruptible services, direct load control, demand bidding programs, emergency demand response programs, capacity market programs, and ancillary service market programs.
How the World is Reacting to Demand Response Programs
The huge growth rate of the demand response market mentioned earlier exists due to one key factor: the global shortfall of power generation in the face of a seemingly endlessly growing demand. One aspect of the power-saving endeavors employed by the world today is the implementation of smart grids, and with smart grids come smart demand response systems. As more and more locations around the world employ smart grids, they will bring with them a huge scope for growth of the region's smart demand response market.
Industries are upping their demand for power that is supplemented by the imposition of capacity constraints, which is expected to propel the global smart demand response market in the near future. There are also multiple policies – some in the pipeline and some already in effect – that enhance the appeal of demand response programs for more end users to take them up.
Browse Press Release of Smart Demand Response Market at-
On the other side of the coin is the single most challenging adversary of demand response: awareness. Or rather, the lack of it. There stands a small percentage of end users around the world that are actually aware of the global smart demand response market and its advantages. Then there are also a few end users who remain unconvinced regarding the benefits of adopting demand response programs. In time, the negative connotations will reduce and a great population of the world is expected to run demand response programs.

Justin Bieber Rushes to Help Pal Floyd Mayweather's Kids After Car Accident
Justin Bieber to the rescue!
According to TMZ, the 20-year-old entertainer rushed to the aid of his boxer pal Floyd Mayweather's three children after hearing that they were in a bad car accident.
Floyd was apparently on the BET Awards red carpet on Sunday (June 29) when he heard about the crash. He happened to be on the phone with Justin, who wasn't too far from the scene, so he drove to the accident site to check on the little ones.
After telling the cops that he was a family friend, Justin reportedly cheered them up by playing his music and then took them to see their father. Luckily, there were no serious injuries, other than a cut lip, in the multi-vehicle collision.
We're happy to hear everyone is OK!

The automated scheduling software article in the December 2014 issue of the Harvard Business Review discusses how most systems fall on a spectrum between creating value for management and creating value for employees. Many employees complain that these systems make their schedules unpredictable and unobservant of their individual needs.
The article on Delta Airlines, written by its CEO Richard H. Anderson, discusses his tenure running the company. He focuses on unconventional ideas and constant innovation.
An interview with London mayor Boris Johnson discusses everything from his unruly hair to his ambitions for higher office. The article also discusses Johnson's book about Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his 2020 strategic plan for London.
The article about professional women, which focuses its research on Harvard Business School alumnae, finds that many women still have achievement and satisfaction gaps with men. Additionally, the article finds that both women and men chaff against traditional gender roles when business and family conflict.
The December 2014 issue of the Harvard Business Review also covers many other topics, including the wisdom of crowds, corporate functions and 90-day innovation. The editors note also remarks upon quick innovation.Learn more about Business Communications

Triple bill of romantic dramas by Australian director Baz Luhrmann. 'Australia' (2008) is a sweeping historical epic set in northern Australia. Nicole Kidman stars as Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who inherits a vast cattle ranch in the unforgiving Australian outback. When her land comes under threat from a takeover plot by English cattle barons, Sarah reluctantly teams up with a rough-edged drover (Hugh Jackman) to drive her 2,000 head of cattle hundreds of miles over some of the world's most desolate landscape. The pair then arrive in Darwin just in time to face the Japanese bombings that come only months after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Ewan McGregor stars in 'Moulin Rouge' (2001) as Christian, an aspiring bohemian writer eking out a living in late 19th century Paris. An unlikely series of events results in him impersonating a Duke at the Moulin Rouge, Paris' most decadent club, and he falls tragically in love with its biggest star, Satine (Nicole Kidman). Events conspire against young love as the film speeds energetically towards its fateful conclusion. In 'Romeo and Juliet' (1996), Luhrmann transposes Shakespeare's tragic romance to the futuristic urban backdrop of Verona Beach, California. The Montague and Capulet families are embroiled in a long-running feud. When Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio), a Montague, attends a Capulet ball in disguise, he falls in love with the beautiful Juliet (Claire Danes). Although already engaged to Dave Paris, whom she does not love, Juliet vows to marry Romeo. They ask the kindly Father Laurence to perform the ceremony in secret, but bloodshed and tragedy threaten the couple's future together.

Employment Services(就业服务)
The Employment Services sector includes Employment Placement Agencies, Temporary Help Services, and Professional Employer Organizations. The Employment Placement industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in listing employment vacancies and in referring or placing applicants for employment. The individuals referred or placed are not employees of the employment agencies. The Temporary Help Services industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in supplying workers to clients' businesses for limited periods of time to supplement the working force of the client. The individuals provided are employees of the temporary help service establishment. However, these establishments do not provide direct supervision of their employees at the clients' work sites. Professional Employer Organizations are establishments primarily engaged in providing human resources and human resource management services to staff client businesses. Establishments in this industry operate in a coemployment relationship with client businesses or organizations and are specialized in performing a wide range of human resource and personnel management duties, such as payroll accounting, payroll tax return preparation, benefits administration, recruiting, and managing labor relations. Employee leasing establishments typically acquire and lease back some or all of the employees of their clients and serve as the employer of the leased employees for payroll, benefits, and related purposes. Employee leasing establishments exercise varying degrees of decisionmaking relating to their human resource or personnel management role, but do not have management accountability for the work of their clients' operations with regard to strategic planning, output, or profitability. Professional employer organizations (PEO) and establishments providing labor or staff leasing services are included in this industry.

Sacramento State sponsored a California Senatorial Candidates Forum Oct. 27 in the University Union. This was the second forum sponsored by the University this month and will help voters compare the candidates' positons on the issues and to make informed choices on Nov 2.
The Senate District 1 forum was moderated by Sacramento State Professor Val Smith, of the University's Communication Studies Department. Communication Studies students assisted with the question-and-answer portion of the forum.
Assemblyman Roger Niello, R-Sacramento, and Rancho Cordova Democratic Mayor Ken Cooley took part in the lively debate in the University Union Ballroom and the event was live streamed on Sacramento State's website.
Assemblyman Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, and former Republican Assemblywoman and current member of board of equalization, Barbara Alby were invited but declined to attend.
The District 1 forum was transmitted via live video streaming, courtesy of Sacramento State's Academic Technology and Creative Services in tandem with Information Resources and Technology. Live-streaming is important because this sprawling senate district encompasses 12 counties. The entire debate is now available for viewing at https://www.csus.edu/sacstatenews/Articles/2010/10/senatedebate102710.html.
Comprehensive coverage is consistent with the CSU system's public-service mandate that political forums and debates be presented on campuses during an election cycle. It also dovetails with Destination 2010, President Alexander Gonzalez' goal of strengthening the bond between campus and community.

Another Milestone for Animal Welfare The Ontario SPCA congratulates the Lincoln County Humane Society
Doors opened today at 1pm, as friends and supporters, including Mrs. Laureen Harper, celebrated the new services available to the Lincoln County community.
The new clinic will provide spay/neuter services to the animals in the shelter and the adoption centre renovations are designed to help increase adoptions. The new clinic will also offer pet spay/neuter services to those pet owners in the LCHS service area who, through a simple means test, can demonstrate a financial need for a cost effective procedure. This clinic will have a capacity of 2,500 procedures per year. Its operation is designed to eliminate local cat overpopulation and ultimately the need for euthanasia as the primary control within the community.
We are also pleased to hear that beginning March 2012, the LCHS will adopt a program of Trap, Neuter and Return for our area's feral cats.
It was an honour to be in attendance with several members of the Ontario SPCA. We were very impressed with this new facility and are pleased that more work is being done to help stop the pet over-population problem in Ontario. LCHS continues to do great things for animal welfare.
Congratulations again to our friends at the Lincoln County Humane Society, this is truly another milestone in animal welfare.
Donations to the Lincoln County Humane Society can be made through their website.

The Suffolk University Men's Basketball team played yet another close game at home, overcoming a 20-point second half deficit to win 99-94 in overtime over visiting Johnson and Wales Tuesday night at Regan Gymnasium. Senior leader John Murphy (North Reading, MA) led the Rams with 31 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. He was 7-16 from the field and 15-16 from the free-throw line. Murphy needs just 2 more points to reach the 1,000 point mark in GNAC play.
JWU received an impressive 39 points and 10 rebounds from Japhet Kerr. Kerr was 13-34 from the field and 9-10 from the line. Tirone McRay also added 31 points and seven rebounds for JWU on 12-20 shooting and 7-7 shooting from the line.
The two teams headed into overtime tied at 81-81 after a three-point buzzer-beater from Suffolk's Brian Small (Stoughton, MA) was waved off. Small still finished with 19 points on 7-16 shooting.
JWU's Brock Champine scored two of his four overtime points to give his team an 83-81 lead just 10 seconds into overtime. JWU never led for the remainder of overtime as freshman guard Alan Jaziri (Norwich, CT) and Brad Schoonmaker (Southington, CT) each hit three-pointers to give Suffolk an 87-85 lead with 3:36 left. Jaziri finished with 22 points before fouling out. Schoonmaker scored 10 points.
Suffolk kept up the solid play in the overtime period, taking a 92-87 lead with 2:12 remaining on a jumper from Small.
A McRay bucket cut the Suffolk lead to 92-89 with 46 seconds left on the clock. However, Suffolk hit seven of eight free-throws down the stretch to pull out the win.
Suffolk trailed 81-79 after two free-throws from Kerr with 1:17 remaining in the second half. Jaziri later tied the game with 58 seconds left on two of his eight free-throws in the game to force overtime.
The Rams had trailed 79-76 after another Kerr jumper. However, Schoonmaker nailed one of his two three-pointers in the game to tie it at 79-79 with 1:35 remaining. Suffolk trailed 67-56 with 8 minutes to go, but responded, cutting the lead to 73-69 with 4:54 remaining.
JWU held a 59-39 lead with 14:46 left in the game. JWU began the second half on a 19-5 run after leading 40-34 at the break.
Suffolk improved to 6-7 in the GNAC and 7-15 overall. JWU fell to 5-7 in the GNAC and 7-14 overall.

BrakePack The Smart Backpack for Urban Cyclists
Biking is one of the healthiest methods of transportation—for us and for the environment. So it's not a surprise that in the last 15 years, the number of people who commute to work on their bikes in the US has increased by 61%.
Unfortunately, with that has come a 16% increase in automobile-related cyclist fatalities and injuries. Many of these accidents happen at night or in poor visibility. And while interest in biking and pedestrian infrastructure continues to rise, especially in cities, investment is actually slowing down.
When biking in an urban environment, it's essential to use proper signaling and stay as visible as you can at all times. However, hand signals, especially for those of us who are less experienced bikers, make us less stable and are not very visible, unless you can hold them for a while. A risky act in itself.
And while the variety of reflectors, blinking lights, and even glow in the dark body paint is truly dazzling, ask any biker: none of these solutions are ideal. Each time you leave your bike you need to remove all of those extra accessories so they aren't stolen. Detachable lights add clutter and distract from the style of the bike. Reflective vests and jackets are far from stylish.
That was the challenge we decided to tackle through BrakePack, our prototype for a smart backpack for the urban cyclist. A winning idea from our incubation program, Startefact, BrakePack is designed to be as safe as it is stylish, as smart as it is straightforward.

5637 US Hwy 64
Farmington, NM 87401
Raising awareness and monetary support for families with children who are fighting cancer. UNM Children's Hospital is one of the only two facilities in the state of New Mexico located in Albuquerque, New Mexico set up to treat children with cancer. Families who live out of the Albuquerque area are often required to travel weekly to UNM Children's Hospital for their child's treatment. In some instances, like our experience, families may be required to maintain a household in Albuquerque for their child receiving treatment as well as continuing to maintain their permanent home for their other immediate family members, i.e. children. For many, upon diagnosis, one parent loses or quits their employment to stay with their child receiving treatment and, sadly, parents are often forced to make this decision not based on whose income is higher but whose employment carries health insurance benefits. In 2004, Antelope Sales & Service, Inc. became community supporters of the benefit naming it the Annual Children's Pediatric Cancer Golf Benefit and it has been held every September since then. The Foundation also receives funds from individuals, other organizations and employee/employer matching programs.

for Health Care Providers
Perspective from Matthew Goetz, MD
I vividly remember reading the first reports of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia in 5 previously healthy homosexual men from Los Angeles in the June 5, 1981, edition of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. As I was a first-year Infectious Disease fellow in Madison, Wisconsin, the cluster of events was disturbing, but the immediate relevance was uncertain.
Two years later, I moved to Los Angeles and joined the Infectious Disease staff of the Sepulveda VA Medical Center. Although located only 15 miles north of the UCLA Medical Center, no known cases of AIDS had yet been diagnosed in that facility. This soon changed. One of the first cases on which I consulted involved a 35-year-old homosexual man with a fever of unknown origin, which was ultimately ascribed to an intrahepatic non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a condition that was soon recognized as an AIDS-defining diagnosis.
Within a short period of time, the growing number of patients with AIDS-defining conditions required the expansion of our Infectious Disease clinics. The medical interventions initially were limited to treatment of opportunistic infection, efforts to provide prophylaxis against recurrent Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, and palliation. There was no antiretroviral therapy, only amphotericin for treatment of invasive fungal infections, and no effective therapy for many opportunistic infections, including those attributable to cytomegalovirus and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC).
Thus, there was considerable enthusiasm with the advent of antiretroviral therapy when zidovudine (known at the time as azidothymidine) became available on a compassionate-use basis in the fall of 1986. We told our patients that it was by no means a cure but rather a first step in developing better and more effective therapies. To contribute to clinical research and to give our patients an opportunity to receive investigational agents, with the support of the local VA Research Service, we established a satellite of the UCLA AIDS Clinical Trials Unit. Our patients were consequently able to become early recipients of combination therapy with dual nucleosides and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and of antimicrobial agents for the prophylaxis of invasive fungal and mycobacterial infections.
Finally, in 1996, a real revolution in care occurred. Not only did truly effective, triple-drug therapy become available, but the medical community gained the technical ability to monitor the effect of therapy on viral replication. No longer did we need to rely upon changes in the CD4+ cell count or the development of clinical signs and symptoms to determine when antiretroviral therapy was failing. Shortly thereafter, many groups, including our own, demonstrated the transformation of care for AIDS patients from being hospital based to being outpatient based. Patients who had been literally on the verge of being sent to hospices for terminal care went back to school, back to work, and back to leading productive lives. The number of cases of opportunistic infection and the rates of mortality plummeted and our inpatient HIV/AIDS unit was closed, owing to lack of demand.
Throughout the course of the HIV epidemic, the VA has demonstrated a great commitment to providing the necessary resources and tools. Not only have all antiretroviral agents been rapidly made available through the VA formulary, appropriate laboratory testing has been rapidly implemented, and the VA has established an effective program to assess and improve the quality of care for HIV-infected patients.
Still, there is much to be done. Health care systems, including the VA, need to assure a timely diagnosis for the estimated 20% of HIV-infected patients in the United States who do not know their status, so that all patients are successfully linked to and retained in care. In addition, as the HIV-infected patient population ages, medical science must become more advanced in the management and prevention of medical comorbidities.
I am proud to have been a VA physician for the past 28 years and to have been part of a health care system that has addressed the formidable challenges posed by HIV infection by providing excellent clinical care and by supporting a robust portfolio of clinical trials, epidemiological research, and quality improvement projects for the benefit not only of Veterans but for all of society.

Turkey Population 2018
Turkey is officially known as the Republic of Turkey. It is a transcontinental country that includes Anatolia in western Asia and East Thrace in southern Europe. It is bordered by eight countries. Along its northwest border lies Bulgaria, towards its west is Greece, and to its northeast is Georgia. Three countries border the eastern side of Turkey, namely Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan, Iran and Armenia. On the southeast border lie Syria and Iraq, and finally the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea share its south border.
The current population of Turkey is estimated at 81.92 million, and increase from 2013's estimate of 75.5 million, of which the male population is approximately 49.1% of the total population and the female population is 50.9% of the population. The population continues to increase at a steady rate with almost 3600 births every day, while the death rate compared to this is significantly low at 1224 deaths per day. This implies a net steady increase in Turkey's population – and it has increased by more than 150 percent over the years. The growth rate remains around 1.29% per year.
Turkey Population History
In 1960, Turkey had a total population of 28.16 million people, and this number continues to gradually increase. In 1970, its population reached 35.46 million, and in 1980, it increased even more to become 44.11 million. In 1990, it rose to 54.13 million and then increased to 63.63 million by the year 2000. In 2010, the population was estimated to be 72.75 million, and now it is over 76 million. These statistical analyses show that without any fall or breakage the country's population kept growing from the 19th century till now.
Life Expectancy
Life expectancy in Turkey has also grown from an average of 48.27 years in 1960 to 73.94 years in 2011. After the year 1970, life expectancy statistics show a steeper slope in its rate increase.
The population density of Turkey is 98 people per kilometer square. The population is mainly comprised of the Turkish people, who make up 75% of the total population, while Kurdish make up 18%. Other ethnic groups take up the remaining 17% of the total population. The languages spoken by the majority are Turkish and Kurdish, while minority groups speak other languages. The main religion, followed by 99.8% of the population, is Islam, while other religions are followed by the minute .02% of the population.
The literacy rate of the population is fairly high - about 87%. The male literacy rate is almost 95%, while the female literacy rate is almost 79%. Almost 70% of the total population live in urban areas. The rate of urbanization is 1.7% per year. The total fertility rate is around 2.13 children born/woman.
The population is fairly young with almost 27% ranging from 0 to 14 years of age, while 67% are 15 to 64 years old. Only around 6% are above 64 years of age. The largest city in Turkey is Istanbul, which has a total of 10.38 million people. The second largest city is Ankara, which is also the capital and has almost 3.86 million in population. There are many other major cities in Turkey, but the most important and heavily populated ones include Izmir with 2.67 million, Bursa with 1.559 million and Adana with 1.339 million population.

'Avatar' three-peats atop boxoffice
James Cameron's film ups domestic haul to $352.1 millionOut with the old and in with the ... really lucrative old.
James Cameron's "Avatar" closed out boxoffice year 2009 and began calendar 2010 by three-peating atop the domestic rankings. The Fox-distributed sci-fi actioner rang up an estimated $68.3 million during the weekend, yielding a heady 17-day cume of $352.1 million.
With "Avatar" taking in $133.5 million in foreign coin during the weekend for a $670.2 million international cume, the famously pricey pic pushed worldwide cume to a mind-bending $1.02 billion. That puts "Avatar" at No. 4 among the top global grossers of all time, behind Cameron's "Titanic" ($1.84 billion), the Peter Jackson three-quel "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" ($1.12 billion) and Gore Verbinski's "The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ($1.07 billion)."
The pic's rarified weekend performance in the U.S. and Canada represented the biggest third-frame tally for any domestic release in history, surpassing the $45 million third session marked by "Spider-Man" in May 2002.
Meantime, with "Avatar" now firmly into profitable territory, it's worth recalling that its record trajectory was hardly a given prior to the pic's hitting theaters, with Fox paring down risk on the groundbreaking motion-capture/live-action project by taking on a pair of equity partners. Profit participants in "Avatar" -- whose production costs totaled a reported $300 million -- include Fox, Dune Entertainment and Ingenious Film Partners.
Studio execs are giddy about the ways things have turned out.
"People are talking about this movie and going back again and again," Fox senior vp domestic distribution Bert Livingston said.
There are already broad expectations of an "Avatar" sequel, though studio insiders insist nothing yet has been discussed.
Elsewhere during the ebullient New Year's weekend, most other holdovers displayed remarkable market traction.
Warner Bros.' Robert Downey Jr. starrer "Sherlock Holmes" -- another seeming franchise-starter -- fell just 38% in its second frame to repeat as domestic bridesmaid with a $38.4 million. Fox's family comedy "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," which unspooled the Wednesday before Christmas, again finished third in a 25% dip to $36.6 million.
"Sherlock" cume reached $140.7 million; the Chipmunks sit at $157.3 million. Another sophomore-session holdover -- Universal's romantic comedy "It's Complicated" -- dropped a skimpy 15% to $18.7 million in fourth place, with a $59.1 million cume.
A pair of pics still midstride in ongoing platform campaigns also fetched tidy sums.
Paramount's George Clooney starrer "Up in the Air" registered $11.4 million from just 1,895 engagements, with the dramedy grabbing sixth place on the frame for a $45 million cume. And Sony the Weinstein Co.'s musical "Nine" took in $4.3 million from 1,412 for a ninth-place session and $14 million cume.
In other notable specialty-film action, Fox Searchlight's Jeff Bridges starrer "Crazy Heart" held steady in 12 locations, grossing $235,554, or a pleasing $19,630 per site, with cume of $716,335.
And Sony Pictures Classics' Heath Ledger-starring adventure fantasy "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" maintained four theaters in grossing $130,817, or an enviable $32,704 per venue. The Terry Gilliam-helmed film pushed its cume to $348,677.
Looking ahead to the first frame of the 2010 boxoffice year, three wide openers are set to hit multiplexes: Dimension Films' Michael Cera-toplined comedy "Youth in Revolt"; Uni's romantic comedy "Leap Year," pairing Amy Adams and Matthew Goode; and Lionsgate's futuristic vampire actioner "Daybreakers," starring Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke. Also on Friday, Par plans to pump "Air" beyond 2,000 playdates for the first time.

The non-stop drumbeat of news about the Trump campaign and Putin's Russia accelerates the context is easy to forget. An in-depth examination of the history and current events provides a unique perspective for those wanting to know more. One of the authors is David Remnick, the current editor of The New Yorker, and has appeared on several television and radio shows discussing this piece. Decide for yourself if this is the standard on the subject and enjoy Trump, Putin, and the New Cold War…
"Free societies are often split because people have their own views, and that's what former Soviet and current Russian intelligence tries to take advantage of," Oleg Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general, who has lived in the United States since 1995, said. "The goal is to deepen the splits." Such a strategy is especially valuable when a country like Russia, which is considerably weaker than it was at the height of the Soviet era, is waging a geopolitical struggle with a stronger entity.
In early January, two weeks before the Inauguration, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, released a declassified report concluding that Putin had ordered an influence campaign to harm Clinton's election prospects, fortify Donald Trump's, and "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process." The declassified report provides more assertion than evidence. Intelligence officers say that this was necessary to protect their information-gathering methods.
Critics of the report have repeatedly noted that intelligence agencies, in the months before the Iraq War, endorsed faulty assessments concerning weapons of mass destruction. But the intelligence community was deeply divided over the actual extent of Iraq's weapons development; the question of Russia's responsibility for cyberattacks in the 2016 election has produced no such tumult. Seventeen federal intelligence agencies have agreed that Russia was responsible for the hacking.
In testimony before the Senate, Clapper described an unprecedented Russian effort to interfere in the U.S. electoral process. The operation involved hacking Democrats' e-mails, publicizing the stolen contents through WikiLeaks, and manipulating social media to spread "fake news" and pro-Trump messages.

Patronising dismissal earns Laws rebuke
Mr Laws has escalated the row with tamariki, accusing them of being abused by adults with a political agenda.
But 13 year old Amokura Rangiheuea says spelt with an H, Whanganui means big harbour - without an H it is meaningless.
She says the class was angry at the way Mr Laws championed bad spelling.
"They were all our ideas. They came from us and nobody helped us. We saw it on the news and we thought it would be a good idea to wqrite him a letter about how we think about putting the H back into Whanganui. He thinks we can't think but we are the eyes and ears for ourselves," Amokura says.
Her class won't take up Mr Laws' invitation to afternoon tea in his mayoral office, but want him to travel down to their school where he would get more than a cup of tea.
Maori lawyers are looking forward to the promised review of New Zealand's constitution.
Nga Roia Maori, the Maori lawyers' association, is holding its 21st annual conference at Owai Marae in Waitara.
Co-president Damien Stone from Ngati Kahungunu says it's a useful forum to network, share ideas and develop common views on issues of the day.
"As part of the confidence and supply agreement between the Maori Party and the National Party was that there will be some form of constitutional review occurring over the next year, and we want to use this opportunity when we've got pretty powerful legal minds from round the country gathered in one spot to have a wananga about this and develop a position for our organization," Mr Stone says.
He says the roopu will hikoi to Parihaka tomorrow morning to learn more about the place where Maori developed a unique non-violent response to colonisation and land theft.
Tamariki Maori make up one in five of the boys dealt with by mentoring organisation Big Buddy, and numbers are rising.
Chief executive Richard Aston says Big Buddy has dubbed this Sunday 'Fatherless Day' to highlight the needs of thousands of boys being brought up by solo mums.
He says the number of Maori mothers and caregivers coming forward means Maori mentors are highly valued.
"It's quite different for us working with Maori families. All we are looking for is for a relationship to develop like a father figure. The mentor and the mum and the boy drive the relationship, and the relationships we help forge, we look for a lifelong relationship," Mr Aston says.
Fatherless Day will be Big Buddy's first fundraising appeal, with supporters urged to text DAD to 883 to make a $3 donation.
Maori tertiary students go into their annual hui this at Lincoln University this weekend facing a proposed law change which will silence the voices of students on campus.
ACT MP Sir Roger Douglas's Voluntary Student Membership bill was drawn out of the ballot last week, which would mean students would no longer have to join and pay fees to their local student association.
Victor Manawatu, the president of Maori tertiary students association Te Mana Akonga, the National Maori Tertiary Students' Association, says it would weaken and probably wipe out student associations, with huge repercussions for Maori.
IN: That is a big take for us and it goes to its first reading next week so we're meeting with MPs, trying to get them on our side, because it will just decimate all the student associations so the students won't have a voice within the institutions any more," Mr Manawatu says.
Student associations provide services such as financial advice and support, advocacy, magazines, foodbanks and arrange student discounts on goods and services.
The longest running Maori performing arts festival in the country happens this weekend in Tairawhiti.
Tamararo was started in 1953 by Anglican priest Brown Turei - now bishop Turei - as a parish fundraiser.
Organiser Willie Te Aho says seven kapa haka roopu line up tomorrow at the Gisborne Events Centre, including top guns Waihirere, Whangara Mai Tawhiti and Te Hokowhitu a Tu.
He says the annual competition helps the Tairawhiti groups keep on the top of their game, and the competition is always taken seriously.
Willie Te Aho says Maatatua are due in the morning to deliver the mauri from this year's Te Matatini national competitions in Tauranga, in preparation for the national primary school kapa haka competitions to be hosted by Tairawhiti in November.
A Maori rugby league great plays his last game on New Zealand soil this week.
Stacey Jones from Ngapuhi and Maniapoto will play his 261st game for the Warriors on Saturday against Melbourne.
He holds the club record for most games, tries, points and fieldgoals.
Peter Leitch, a New Zealand Rugby League ambassador and devout Warriors fan, says has inspired a generation of young players.
He says the little general had some big boots to fill, as his grandfather Manga Emory was a great player.
Peter Leitch says there should be a big crowd at Mt Smart Stadium tomorrow night to give the popular playmaker a rousing send-off.

The guy has to be smoking something funny if he thinks he's going to get $1,200 for that. He thinks it's a 1940's or early 1950's boat, but judging from that windshield (if original), it's newer then that. Plywood bulkhead (again, if original) would point to a newer boat.
If someone gave him a few hundred for it, he should be very, very happy.
I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
Yeah nope. Plus, you can almost see the hook at the transom due to trailer misfit + roller sadness.
Yep,... drop off a "zero" and then maybe.
I bought a similar sized 1959 PennYan in about the same shape. Paid $500 for boat, motor and trailer. Motor was a 35 hp Gale that actually ran very well. But, at $500, I still think I paid too much. I had rosy memories of my teenage years in my head when I bought it.
I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
One of the first boats I restored years ago, to much work goes into this. Yes $400 is a fair price. Dave 100_0911.jpg
Definitely on the*high* end of expetations. Check out THIS little gem he wants to get rid of....

For the last few months I have be struggling with getting a PT-104 working with Labview 8.5. I have had some success but I have never been able to get data consistently. I have read through the discussion forums on this web site and the National Instruments web site and found a few other people who have encountered similar problems.
Anyway, I have written my own software but would like to clear up a couple of points:
The Labview vi has an option for 2,3&4 wire PRT's, how do I write the code to ensure that I am making a four wire measurement?
Is the protocol in the manual the full protocol for the unit?
Also it would be helpful if you add a little more detail to the calibration data, ie state the the calibration are bytes 19-22 for channel and and that 19 is the LSB.

Join us for a conversation on opening night with artist Noam Gonick and David Hatfield, program director for the ongoing, experiential course for men, Manology: Exploring 21st Century Masculinity, and the Canadian Coordinator of International Men's Day. Noam Gonick will speak to his work, No Safe Words, and the conversation will engage with viewers' responses to the exhibition and the questions on masculinity and male identity that arise.
Curator's Tour with Katie Schroeder
Saturday, April 13 at 2 pm at Satellite Gallery.
Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your place:
email@example.com or 604-681-8425.
Drawn from the collection of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Full Frontal explores the relationship between masculinity and male sexuality, and why the image of a naked man, baring all, is one of society's last taboos.
With works spanning over 50 years, Full Frontal investigates the stake our society has placed in representations of the male body, questioning why "manhood" refers to both male identity and the physical penis. Through photographs, paintings, drawings, sculpture, video and archival material, Full Frontal explores how artists, both publically and privately, have represented the penis-phallus. The exhibition couples images of the phallus—the socially approved symbol of male power—with images of the flesh—the often censored penis that our society carefully regulates.
In bringing many perspectives and subjectivities to the sexualized male body this exhibition questions a masculinity that upholds and is controlled by the idea of the phallus. Gritty and real, the works in this group exhibition present alternative modes of engaging with male sexuality, in which masculinity becomes masculinities. Full Frontal liberates the literal organ from the concept of the phallus through play, vulnerability, violence, love, desire, fantasy and sex.
Full Frontal includes works by artists: Iain Baxter&, Tom Dean, Maria Eichhorn, Russell FitzGerald, Noam Gonick, jess, Brian Jungen, Bruce LaBruce, Attila Richard Lukacs, Robert Mapplethorpe, Eric Metcalfe, Michael Morris, Marina Roy, Jack Shadbolt, Wolfgang Tillmans, Vincent Trasov, Joyce Wieland and others.
Full Frontal is curated by Katie Schroeder, a Master's Candidate in the Critical and Curatorial Studies program at The University of British Columbia. This exhibition is made possible with support from the Michael O'Brian Family Foundation, the Killy Foundation and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia, and Satellite Gallery.

Dear Mr. Wynn,
I have been meaning to write you and your wife since May of 2015. You and your team have been more than a blessing to our family of five and we cannot thank you guys enough. Our lives have been transformed by following what you teach. We first met you when our eldest, Christina, was in 11th grade, 1/2013. In short, not only did you touch our hearts, but our children also believed in what you said. Like magic, we were no longer overwhelmed about our decisions because you provided a roadmap to financing and planning a college education for the girls.
We did EVERYTHING you said and listed below are a few of the distinctions and blessings WE (after all, it's a family affair) received in the aftermath.
Christina received four full rides for college. We directly attribute that to your coaching. These are a few of her accomplishments received AFTER implementing your 'Wynning' strategies:
National Achievement Finalist
Disney Dreamer's Academy Champion
National Science Foundation Panelist for Computer Science Program at Georgia Tech
Posse Foundation Semi-Finalist
Science Olympiad winner at the local, state, national level. Set the record in Georgia in Optics competition.
FBLA State and National Award in 3D Animation
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards (one in art, one in writing)
AP Scholar with Distinction
National English Honor Society, National Art Honor Society
Nominee Georgia Governor's Honors Communicative Arts
Nominee Girls Get IT of the year (Information Technology)
Internship at VOX Teen Communications
Directed Study Program in 3D Modeling through TAG Program
Founder Video Game Design and Development Club, Marietta High School (GA)
Christina applied to 10 colleges, was accepted to 9, received full rides from 4 (FAMU, Howard, University of Ohio, Drexel University), ½ tuition to a couple more.
She chose to attend Drexel University where she is majoring in Video Game Design/Development with a minor in Computer Science. She was wait-listed and then in May, accepted to her dream school, the University of Southern California (USC). Thankfully, through all the coaching, Christina did not hesitate to decline the admission offer after USC only offered 12K in financial aid. The cost to attend USC is approximately 70K and increases 6% per year.
By the way, this was a student, who until the last semester of her senior year of high school, did not qualify for the Georgia HOPE Scholarship. Through your coaching, she was not afraid to apply to schools outside of Georgia that might be interested in her profile—African-American; Female; STEM. We supported her efforts to 'Wynn' in her God-Given talents (writing, technology, art, science).
I would like to share a little more of our story. We learned that part of our challenge was that we did not qualify for a penny in need-based financial aid, but we do not have the savings to fund the college education for all three of our girls. We thought we did the right thing—purchasing a home for each child early when we were a double-income family. The only problem was, the equity in those homes barely paid for 1.5 years of tuition for ONE child with today's college costs. The reality is if we attempted to fund our children's education, we would never be able to retire and we were committed to not incurring student loan debt for us or our children.
The light bulb came on when we first heard you speak. What we find most beneficial is that not only do you speak to us, but you also speak in a manner easily understandable to the children. We are excited to have Faith and Sarah work with you and know we will have less stress this time around since they have an earlier start.
Thank You for Your Ministry and all you do.
Cynthia & Doug Lucas
Mr. Wynn has had a remarkable impact on my grandson. Since beginning middle school, he has maintained his College Planning Notebook and planned his way through school applying everything that Mr. Wynn has said. He applied to the IB program, developed a STEM focus, and has been progressing along in a manner consistent with what Mr. Wynn has said would earn him a full college scholarship. It is uncanny how he walks around quoting Mr. Wynn, 'Grandma, I can't leave any points on the table. My goal is to earn a '100' in all of my classes. I am not going to leave any points on the table.' Leaving the restaurant the other day, a man asked my grandson if he played basketball. He responded, 'No sir,' to which the man responded, 'You are so tall, you must be playing basketball for someone.' My grandson, responded, 'Sir, I do not want to be disrespectful, but I would rather own the team.'
— Rev. Lynne Burkhead, Grandparent (Marietta, GA)
As Education Ministry Leaders, Mychal and Nina Wynn have implemented the strategies outlined in 'Show Me the Money' and earned our church the remarkable honor of having 5 Gates Millennium Scholars, as part of a distinguished cohort of students who have earned millions of dollars in scholarships and who have made the right college choice at institutions throughout the United States. I have used the strategies with my own children and am overjoyed with the blessings that have flowed into so many families in our church and surrounding community.
— Rev. Don Ezell, Youth Pastor and Parent, Turner Chapel AME Church (Marietta, GA)
My family and I have followed the strategies outlined in this book [Show Me the Mondey: A Comprehensive Guide to Scholarships, Financial Aid, and Making the Right College Choice] since my older daughter was in middle school. She went on to be selected as a 2011 Gates Millennium Scholar. In 2014, her sister was selected as a 2014 Gates Millennium Scholar. In 2015, their brother received athletic and academic scholarships to Morehouse College covering nearly 100 percent of college costs. Mr. Wynn's strategies have blessed our family with over $1.5 million in scholarship money.
— Terra White, Parent (Marietta, GA)
My granddaughter did not want to attend Mr. Wynn's 'College Planning Boot Camp,' however, I cannot imagine where she would be if I had not forced her to attend. As a result of Mr. and Mrs. Wynn's guidance through the strategies outlined in his book, she received over $1 million in scholarship offers. She is a 2015 Gates Millennium Scholar and was accepted into the Meyerhoff Scholars program at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. She had all of her application fees waived at the 13 colleges to which she applied and her enrollment fee waived at UMBC. She will receive funding for her education all the way through earning her Ph.D. What a blessing!
— Leatha Hanna, Grandmother (Lake City, SC)
I was familiar with Mr. Wynn's work before I married and had my own children. Now, as a School Board Member, and parent of a high school senior, I fully understand the value of Mr. Wynn's work in demystifying the college admissions and financial aid processes. This book [Show Me the Money: A Comprehensive Guide to Scholarships, Financial Aid, and Making the Right College Choice] not only provides practical strategies for top students, it provides indispensable strategies for average students with big dreams.
— Donna McBride, Ed.D., School Board Member, Henry County Schools (McDonough, GA)
