The public request came after the Commission's decision-makers and staff had held numerous meetings with Arbitron executives over the past several months. Arbitron had just received the 21-page FCC document announcing the inquiry and spokesman Thom Mocarsky declined comment until the papers could be reviewed.The initial complaints to the FCC were made by Jim Winston, a veteran Washington, D.C., communications lawyer and executive director of NABOB, and led to the FCC's inquiry. Winston could not be reached immediately–the group is currently holding its 33rd annual Spring Broadcast Management Conference through Wednesday at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort and Spa in St. Maarten. Turn the page for a followup story by Jeffrey Yorke, which, in part, is Arbitron's response to the inquiry: "Arbitron welcomes the opportunity to better educate all parties about our Portable People Meter service and its advantages over the diary-based system," said company spokesman Thom Mocarsky. "The FCC Notice of Inquiry will allow us to further explain why a passive, electronic audience measurement service is a valuable tool that can help the radio broadcast industry compete with the emerging digital media in the 21st century."Arbitron had promised new measurement technology for nearly two decades, testing and retesting the metering system long before it was ever launched in the U.S. 18 months ago. But PPM has seemingly been under siege since its introduction. Major radio group executives have fussed over the costs, sales department managers have wondered how they would sell the research and personalities have worried that, after decades of popularity, they would suddenly be blasted out of their jobs because of low ratings. And now, minority broadcasters have alleged that they aren't getting a fair shake in the research data. So when the FCC's Michael Copps had something nice to say about the company, it was welcomed."We appreciate that chairman Copps has commended Arbitron for trying to improve our ratings methodology and for committing significant resources to that effort," Mocarsky said. "We also appreciate that commissioner McDowell has acknowledged that Arbitron and a number of broadcasters have said that our new automated approach to ratings measurement offers significant improvements over the older, manual diary-reporting system."And, despite what some trade publications have reported as an "investigation," Mocarsky wants to set the story straight. "It is important to note that FCC's Notice of Inquiry regarding PPM is not the same as the formal investigation demanded by the so-called PPM Coalition.""The Notice of Inquiry is an open proceeding in which any and all parties may express their views on a wide variety of issues. This is very different from a closed, adversarial proceeding before an administrative law judge," said the spokesman.Mocarsky noted that in the ex-parte notices that Arbitron has filed regarding our one-on-one meetings with the FCC, "We have consistently expressed our willingness to participate in a Notice of Inquiry."Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kTKpUW copy Adweek Adweek

Dear Readers,
Of the estimated 1.2 bn vehicles in use worldwide, shipment of connected vehicles is expected to hit 48 mn units this year. This number, in fact, has been on a steady rise over the past few years, and if the prediction by Statista is anything to go by, 100 % of new cars sold over the world will connect to the Internet by 2025. Clearly, connected mobility offers players in the sector tremendous opportunities for the future.
That is good news, for it is being projected that the world will see fewer accidents, less fuel consumption, less stress and reduction in transport-related carbon dioxide emissions – all thanks to connected mobility.
Driven by developments in the areas of Internet of Things (IoT), telematics, computational data analysis and sensor technologies, among others, the automotive industry in general is undergoing a phenomenal transformation. We have seen the emergence of new players in the automotive horizon – largely technology companies that are eyeing a significant pie of the future mobility value chain, even as traditional automotive players are rebuilding their strategies to stay relevant in the market. Many believe the first real autonomous car will come from a technology, and not automobile, company.
Connected mobility is also likely to see emergence of new suppliers for new technologies, digital and mobility services, threatening to disrupt the traditional automotive supply chain that the industry is so used to. It is a serious wake up call for traditional companies in this domain not focussed on innovation, for they run the risk of being left behind by new entries – established corporates or motivated start-ups.
Of course, there are obstacles on the path to connected mobility. Cost, consumer readiness, legal framework, technology readiness are some of the most common obstacles seen by the sector. However, the biggest concern is related to cyber security and privacy concerns. Ransomware attacks such as Petya and WannaCry on vehicles could lead to absolute mayhem – for individual drivers or fleets.
In this edition, we have a few very interesting articles on the subject of connected technologies. Moreover, on June 27, 2018, we will organise the 5th edition of our annual conference on automotive electronics – the CTO Roundtable – in Pune. Let's get together and discuss what's going to drive the next generation of vehicles in a connected world. See you there!

The school's self-imposed punishment was the suspension of three players for the fall quarter. The Redhawks, entering Division-I play, will apply for reinstatement of senior Mercedes Alexander, junior Breanna Salley and sophomore Elle Kerfoot with the NCAA. The infractions occurred prior to the hiring of coach Joan Bonvicini. Seattle U released the following press release to explain its filing: Seattle University has informed the NCAA that three student-athletes on the women's basketball team failed to meet the requisite credit hours for the last spring quarter. As a result, the players will be sitting out competition when play begins this week. The university is also self-reporting two secondary violations: extra practice time during last spring's off-season and an impermissible observation of recruits by the previous coach. All the infractions precede the appointment of head coach Joan Bonvicini and her staff. "As an institution, we are committed to upholding both the intent and letter of NCAA rules compliance, and we will certainly use this situation as a learning opportunity," added Director of Athletics Bill Hogan. "While we are hopeful to have the full team back this season, given Coach Joan Bonvicini's experience, I have the utmost confidence that students will learn and grow from this." The students sitting out competition for at least the fall quarter are senior Mercedes Alexander, junior Breanna Salley and sophomore Elle Kerfoot. The university will pursue reinstatement for all three with the NCAA. Seattle U women's basketball hosts exhibition games against Northwest University Tuesday and Saint Martin's University Saturday. The official season opens Nov. 13 against UC Davis. Comments

Guest article by Mitch Lavender
Zachary and Lucy Foxborne have everything they want except a child. As they begin navigating the legal and bureaucratic maze of international adoption from Ukraine, they could not imagine their newly adopted child would be held for ransom by a brilliant and demented hacker, bent on revenge and even darker motives. Finding their baby could cost them everything.
Find My Baby follows Zachary and Lucy Foxborne's struggle through the awkwardness and disappointment of fertility treatments and adoption becomes a more and more appealing option.
Once they start down the international adoption path and are in Ukraine, things start to go enigmatically wrong for them. Zachary is an antivirus specialist and leader in his field, making him a prime target for cyber-terrorists, and one such a hacker has set his sights on Zachary, intent on
manipulating him into nefarious circumstances.
And then there is this ancient manuscript that no one has been able to interpret- what secrets does it hold?
Find My Baby has twists you won't see coming and is an adventure you won't want to miss.
About the Author: Fort Worth, TX – 2014 – Mitch Lavender is an accomplished author of short stories.
He has worked for Microsoft Corporation for over 18 years, has been married 25 years, and is the father of a son, adopted from Ukraine in 2001.
With this background, it makes sense that his first, published full-length novel would be a high-stakes thriller interlaced with computer espionage, set with an American couple, attempting to do an international adoption.
Find My Baby is available on Amazon, Smashwords & Lulu

September 10, 1996, Section A, Page 3Buy Reprints
Can a black woman, a Caribbean immigrant who has lived in Italy for four years, be a symbol of Italian female beauty?
If she is Denny Mendez, 18, who was crowned Miss Italy 1996 over the weekend, the answer is yes, although the question is still under heated debate.
''How did a beauty contest turn into a mini-national psychodrama?'' the newspaper La Repubblica asked this morning, in one of the dozens of commentaries that have used Miss Mendez's victory to analyze racial tolerance in Italy, the relative nature of beauty and, above all, what it means to be Italian.
The controversy began days before the final competition on Saturday. Two members of the Miss Italy jury were suspended for saying that Miss Mendez, as a black woman, could not represent Italian beauty.
One, Alba Parietti, a television announcer who was later reinstated, defended herself against charges of racism, questioning whether China would accept a Miss China without almond-shaped eyes, or if a non-black African could become Miss Senegal.
In what many say was a backlash of sympathy, Miss Mendez swept to victory in the judges' vote on Saturday, buoyed by a third of the call-in vote, which was phoned in by over a million of the 13 million Italians -- 81 percent of the viewing public -- who were watching the pageant live.
Since then, Miss Mendez, a naturalized Italian citizen who moved here from the Dominican Republic when her mother married an Italian, has held her own.
''I know that I don't represent Italian beauty, but they elected me, so what am I supposed to do -- refuse?'' she told one newspaper.
But at the core of the continuing debate is Italy's changing identity -- from a relatively homogenous society (although that too is debatable) to a one that in recent years has accepted a growing population of non-European immigrants.
Even Prime Minister Romano Prodi had a comment on the Miss Italy results. ''Italy is changing,'' he said. ''We also have black soccer players, and now this too is a sign.''
Officially, there are just under one million foreigners living in Italy, a country with a population of 56 million -- although that figure does not include either naturalized Italians like Miss Mendez, or the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants here. Blacks are a small minority of immigrants, most of whom come from North Africa, Albania or the Balkans.
Compared with Germany, with its long tradition of ''guest workers,'' or France or Britain, which have a history of taking in immigrants from former colonies, the number of foreign-born in Italy is relatively low. But as commentators have pointed out, Italy, which not long ago was a country of emigrants, is having trouble adapting to the notion that it has become a land of immigrants.
''Italy became a land of immigration without ever deciding to, and, in some cases, without ever wanting to, ''Guido Bolaffi wrote in La Repubblica on Saturday.
Some commentators have suggested that the vote to crown Miss Mendez was an attempt by the Italian judges and viewers to go out of their way to prove to themselves and others that Italy, too, is ready to accept a multi-ethnic identity.
''The contest ended under a sort of blackmail,'' said Enrico Mentana, a judge who is a producer of one of Italy's main television news programs and who voted for another contestant. ''Not to elect Denny would mean looking like a Class-B country.''
Mr. Mentana argued that Miss Mendez was neither the most beautiful contestant, nor the most beautiful foreign immigrant. ''She is exotic,'' he said, ''like the women whom Italians who spend their vacations in Cuba find attractive.''
But others have noted that few Italians complained about Fiona May, a British black athlete who won a silver medal competing for Italy in the long jump at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Nor, they noted, do they challenge George Weah, a black Liberian with a French passport, who plays for the AC Milan soccer team.
Commenting on the furor over the Miss Italy case, Gianni Vattimo, an Italian philosopher, said the test was not over whether Miss Mendez won the Miss Italy title, but over whether she was allowed to compete.
''To dismiss a black soccer player because he is black is racist,'' he told the leftist newspaper L'Unita. ''To get annoyed because he plays well is less significant.''

1.6 A Quick Overview of Verilog Scheduling and Execution Semantics
On the assumption that you have a good understanding of Verilog, we will not review the general syntax of Verilog. However, we will review the more advanced features of the language—namely, scheduling and execution semantics—they appear in various places throughout this book. If you are well versed in Verilog, you can skip this section.
1.6.1 Concurrent Processes
Verilog is a parallel hardware descriptive language. It differs from a software language such as C/C++ in that it models concurrency of hardware. Components in a circuit always execute in parallel, whereas a software program executes one statement at time—in a serial fashion. To model hardware concurrency, Verilog uses two types of data structures: continuous assignment and procedural block. A continuous assignment executes whenever a variable in the right side of the assignment changes. As the name implies, a continuous assignment continuously watches changes of variables on the right side and updates the left-side variables whenever changes occur. This behavior is consistent with that of a gate, which propagates inputs to outputs whenever inputs change. An example of a continuous assignment is shown here. The value of v is updated whenever the value of x, y, or z changes:
assign v = x + y + z;
A procedural block consists of statements called procedural statements. Procedural statements are executed sequentially, like statements in a software program, when the block is triggered. A procedure block has a sensitivity list containing a list of signals, along with the signals' change polarity. If a signal on a sensitivity changes according to its prescribed polarity, the procedural block is triggered. On the other hand, if a signal changes that is not on the sensitivity list but is present in the right-hand side of some procedural statements of the block, the procedural statements will not be updated. An example of a procedural block is shown here:
always @(posedge c or d) begin v = c + d + e; w = m - n; end
The signals on the sensitivity list are c and d. The polarity for c is positive edge, and no polarity is specified for d, which by default means either positive or negative edge. This block is executed whenever a positive event occurs at c. A positive edge is one of the following: a change from 0 to 1, X, or Z; or from X or Z to 1. The block is also triggered when an event occurs at d, positive or negative edge. A negative edge is one of the following: a change from 1 to either 0, X, or Z; or from X or Z to 0. Changes on variables e, m, or n will not cause the block to execute because these three variables are not on the sensitivity list.
In a way, a procedural block is a generalization of a continuous assignment: Any variable change on the right side of a continuous assignment triggers evaluation, whereas in a procedural block only changes in the variables on the sensitivity list can trigger evaluation, and the changes must conform to the polarity specification. Any continuous assignment can be rewritten as a procedural block, but not vice versa. The following procedural block and continuous assignment are equivalent:
// continuous assignment assign v = x + y + z; // equivalent procedural block always @(x or y or z) v = x + y + z;
However, there is no equivalent continuous assignment for the following procedural block, because rising or falling changes are not distinguished in continuous assignment:
always @(posedge x) y = x;
1.6.2 Nondeterminism
When multiple processes execute simultaneously, a natural question to ask is how these processes are scheduled. When multiple processes are triggered at the same time, the order in which the processes are executed is not specified by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards. Thus, it is arbitrary and it varies from simulator to simulator. This phenomenon is called nondeterminism. Let's look at two common cases of nondeterminism that are caused by the same root cause but that manifest in different ways.
The first case arises when multiple statements execute in zero time, and there are several legitimate orders in which these statements can execute. Furthermore, the order in which they execute affects the results. Therefore, a different order of execution gives different but correct results. Execution in zero time means that the statements are evaluated without advancing simulation time. Consider the following statements:
always @(d) q = d; assign q = ~d;
These two processes, one procedural block and one continuous assignment, are scheduled to execute at the same time when variable d changes. Because the order in which they execute is not specified by the IEEE standard, two possible orders are possible. If the always block is evaluated first, variable q is assigned the new value of d by the always block. Then the continuous assignment is executed. It assigns the complement of the new value of d to variable q. If the continuous assignment is evaluated first, q gets the complement of the new value of d. Then the procedural assignment assigns the new value (uncomplemented) to q. Therefore, the two orders produce opposite results. This is a manifestation of nondeterminism.
Another well-known example of nondeterminism of the first type occurs often in RTL code. The following D-flip-flop (DFF) module uses a blocking assignment and causes nondeterminism when the DFFs are instantiated in a chain:
module DFF (clk, q, d); input clk, d; output q; reg q; always @(posedge clk) q = d; // source of the problem endmodule module DFF_chain; DFF dff1(clk, q1, d1); // DFF1 DFF dff2(clk, q2, q1); // DFF2 endmodule
When the positive edge of clk arrives, either DFF instance can be evaluated first. If dff1 executes first, q1 is updated with the value of d1. Then dff2 executes and makes q2 the value of q1. Therefore, in this order, q2 gets the latest value of d1. On the other hand, if dff2 is evaluated first, q2 gets the value of q1 before q1 is updated with the value of d1. Either order of execution is correct, and thus both values of q2 are correct. Therefore, q2 may differ from simulator to simulator.
A remedy to this race problem is to change the blocking assignment to a nonblocking assignment. Scheduling of nonblocking assignments samples the values of the variables on the right-hand side at the moment the nonblocking assignment is encountered, and assigns the result to the left-side variable at the end of the current simulation time (for example, after all blocking assignments are evaluated). A more in-depth discussion of scheduling order is presented in the section "Scheduling Semantics." If we change the blocking assignment to a nonblocking assignment, the output of dff1 always gets the updated value of d1, whereas that of dff2 always gets the preupdated value of q1, regardless of the order in which they are evaluated.
Nonblocking assignment does not eliminate all nondeterminism or race problems. The following simple code contains a race problem even though both assignments are nonblocking. The reason is that both assignments to variable x occur at the end of the current simulation time and the order that x gets assigned is unspecified in IEEE standards. The two orders produce different values of x and both values of x are correct:
always @(posedge clk) begin x <= 1'b0; x <= 1'b1; end
The second case of nondeterminism arises from interleaving procedural statements in blocks executed at the same time. When two procedural blocks are scheduled at the same time, there is no guarantee that all statements in a block finish before the statements in the other block begin. In fact, the statements from the two blocks can execute in any interleaving order. Consider the following two blocks:
always @(posedge clk) // always block1 begin x = 1'b0; y = x; end always @(posedge clk) // always block2 begin x = 1'b1; end
Both always blocks are triggered when a positive edge of clk arrives. One interleaving order is
x = 1'b0; y = x; x = 1'b1;
In this case, y gets 0.
Another interleaving order is
x = 1'b0; x = 1'b1; y = x;
In this case, y gets 1.
There is no simple fix for this nondeterminism. The designer has to reexamine the functionality the code is supposed to implement and, more often than not, nondeterminism is not inherent in the functionality but is introduced during the implementation process.
1.6.3 Scheduling Semantics
Having discussed nondeterminism, it is natural for us to examine the scheduling semantics in Verilog (that is, the order in which events are scheduled to execute). Events at simulation time are stratified into five layers of events in the order of processing:
- Active
- Inactive
- Nonblocking assign update
- Monitor
- Future events
Active events at the same simulation time are processed in an arbitrary order. An example of an active event is a blocking assignment. The processing of all the active events is called a simulation cycle.
Inactive events are processed only after all active events have been processed. An example of an inactive event is an explicit zero-delay assignment, such as #0 x = y, which occurs at the current simulation time but is processed after all active events at the current simulation time have been processed.
A nonblocking assignment executes in two steps. First, it samples the values of the right-side variables. Then it updates the values to the left-side variables. The sampling step of a nonblocking assignment is an active event and thus is executed at the moment the nonblocking statement is encountered. A nonblocking assign update event is the updating step of a nonblocking assignment and is executed only after both active and inactive events at the current simulation time have been processed.
Monitor events are the execution of system tasks $monitor and $strobe, which are executed as the last events at the current simulation time to capture steady values of variables at the current simulation time. Finally, events that are to occur in the future are the future events.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Two environmental activists have been arrested after chaining themselves to the entrance to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The activists used U-shaped bicycle locks to attach their necks to the agency's doors in Salem. They were protesting a decision by the wildlife agency to kill two wolves that have preyed on livestock. They were taken into custody Tuesday on misdemeanor charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration.
A spokesman for the activists says the state is putting the interests of ranchers ahead of wildlife conservation.
Wildlife department spokeswoman Michelle Dennehy says the decision to kill wolves is not made lightly but the agency is working toward long-term wolf conservation. She says nonlethal measures have not successfully prevented wolves from killing livestock.

My police station saga brought about by "friends" who made false and bizarre accusations as a complaint against me, to avoid making a genuine payment owing to an agency who worked on the electrification of their home and graphic studio space, brought to my attention to how foolish one is when one ignores the warning signals we receive that indicate the actual character of people we befriend. I insist of myself a conscience keeping that has a massive space within it to take myself to task severely when I fail to live by the standards I have mapped as my value chart of life. I don't care how much of a pain and how tedious it is to do this exercise of self evaluation, especially as it is so private and can be skipped without anybody ever knowing, but it serves me well because I can look into the eyes of my son unflinchingly and know there is no hidden shame that exists in my gaze.
When we designate ourselves character traits we wish to be identified with, then surely these traits need to be imbibed factors that guide our actions. Truth and honesty are labels that must resonate not because we verbally pronounce them as character certificates about ourselves but should be put to the test when it involves ourselves coming clean on areas that hold our own frailty to be tempted to behave inappropriately.
Not one of us will not have encountered such temptations that bring out the worst desires in ourselves to behave in ways that are contradictory to our saner instincts, and our knowledge of what is right and wrong. The issue therefore is whether we allow ourselves the license to act out our irrationalities and debase our characters in the process.
Today in Baroda there is disgust and disbelief amongst common friends and associates that this couple could behave in such a corrupted way. The consequences to this will be felt for a long time, as the trust within a community has been severely damaged. What a shame that integrity is so easily squandered. What end does such actions serve except to boomerang in the face of those who try to sling the mud in the first place. The perception of others that watch from the sidelines hold censure, and though politeness may prevail, the reputation of this couple will take a long while to white wash, if ever.

The City of Phoenix has agreed to pay $75,000 to Candice Wilson, a former Phoenix police officer who says she experienced retaliation after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a fellow officer.
Due to the terms of the settlement, neither party is able to comment on the lawsuit.
However, court records show that Wilson claimed she had been sexually harassed by Sergeant Dave Saflar in 2012, while both were guests at a wedding in Las Vegas. The lawsuit doesn't include any details about the alleged incident.
Wilson's complaint was investigated by the city's Equal Opportunity Department, which determined the allegations to be "unfounded and inconclusive."
The investigators concluded that Wilson "was a willful participant in the off-duty activities and banter by which she was allegedly offended," and noted that she had been under the influence of alcohol. They also noted that there was no evidence to suggest a pattern of pervasive or ongoing harassment.
As a result of filing the complaint, though, Wilson says that she faced retaliation and hostile working conditions that ultimately forced her to resign.
Wilson's lawsuit claims that her colleagues in the Robbery Unit began to write up memos about supposedly unprofessional behavior on her part. Two officers complained that she had posted inappropriate messages on their Facebook page, a claim which investigators found to be trivial and unfounded.

According to the lawsuit, an unnamed lieutenant also told Wilson's sergeant that "we need to get rid of [Wilson] because she made the complaint [alleging sexual harassment.]"
When the sergeant responded, "Boss, you can't say that, it's retaliation," the lieutenant "proceeded to invent a few other reasons for 'getting rid' of Wilson."
Lawyers for the city denied that any retaliation had taken place. They also argued that the EEOC's determination was erroneous and lacking in merit.
From the city's response to Wilson's lawsuit:
Prior to filing a grievance with the EOD, Wilson revealed to fellow officers that she was experiencing personal problems. She had emotional outbursts in the workplace including sobbing, yelling, making vulgar statements or engaging vulgar actions along with expressing overwhelming anger toward fellow officers. Officers acted as a sounding board and offered suggestions including that she seek professional help.She did not. Her bad behavior escalated.
Although officers worked with her in a professional capacity, her angry outbursts and unpredictable behavior made her unpleasant to be around. She was neither 'ostracized' nor retaliated against for filing claims with the EOD or EEOC. She was given commendations for her work when appropriate and disciplined for her actions when appropriate.
Nonetheless, the city agreed to a $75,000 settlement. The payout was approved by the Phoenix City Council on Wednesday night.

SAN JOSE — When the young, progressive activists of the grassroots organization VietUnity were approached about creating a workshop to get local Vietnamese more civically engaged, the group was inspired to take things a step further.
Starting Saturday, close to 30 South Bay residents will participate in San Jose's Vietnamese American Civic Leaders Academy, a seven-part seminar by VietUnity and the Office of Immigrant Affairs in which they'll learn how to better access city resources. But the sessions will also include discussions on gender justice, racism, housing, education, immigration and deportation — topics that haven't always been openly addressed in the Vietnamese community, particularly among older generations.
"We tried to bring together the goals from the city and also our own goals to organize our community to resist systemic oppression and so many of the other issues we face," said Giao Tran, a leader with VietUnity.
"San Jose is really fascinating because it feels like the city and larger region has been wanting more political activism and more work from Vietnamese folks, but we've been dealing with our own struggles and just haven't gotten there yet," she added. "I feel like everyone has been waiting for this."
Each session will be geared toward a particular topic and will include presentations from local community organizers and city officials in various departments. Organizers hope it's a starting point to better connect with San Jose's Vietnamese residents, whom make up one of the largest groups of Vietnamese in the United States.
Former San Jose Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen hopes the seminar gives birth to a new political movement — with Vietnamese Americans at the forefront.
"I hope this group looks at the importance of engagement and starts to build that pipeline so that it encourages more Vietnamese Americans to run for public office," she said.
San Jose Councilman Lan Diep said he's gratified the Office of Immigrant Affairs is reaching out to Vietnamese constituents.
"We're 10 percent of the population and we're generally very insular," he said. "It's great that we're attempting to develop the next generation of civic leaders."
Diep said the sessions will help community members have frank discussions about meaningful topics that are often overlooked.
"Because of our culture, often times people don't discuss these things publicly," he said. "It's not that we don't experience them, but we're shamed or perhaps it's not proper to discuss things publicly."
Added Nguyen: "Even today, as younger Vietnamese become more progressive, these issues remain controversial in our community. I believe these issues impact a lot of lives in the Vietnamese immigrant community and it's great to bring that out and discuss them."
It's a hope that Tran shares, as VietUnity and other organizers look to inspire a new generation of activists.
"I hope this really further ignites a new era of leadership in the Vietnamese community that addresses so many issues that we've been struggling to address for so long," Tran said. "I hope it creates a space for folks where they feel that they have a hub to go to, where they can organize and feel like they can empower themselves and everyone around them."

Correspondence #1 on the importance of time and place, the territory
A lecture-performance fruit of the collaboration between Li Lorian (Jerusalem) and Marc Villanueva Mir (Barcelona). What starts as a lecture on spatial conceptualization of utopian and dystopian thinking, transforms into a travel through personal archives, political statements, accents, screenshots, bookmarks, subtitles and voice-overs.
Correspondence #1 aims to draw a visual and conceptual journey between Jerusalem, Barcelona and Gießen; a collage of memories, observations and representations of the multiple and complex realities we inhabit and that at the same time inhabit us.
Using the performative power and discourse that both utopia and dystopia nowadays entail, we explore interferences between actual and ideal, politics and literature, reality and fiction, spaces and places, in order to revisit the cities and landscapes we come from and our concerns with them, and to question the role they play in constituting our sense of home and notion of belonging.
By and with Li Lorian & Marc Villanueva Mir

Winter vomiting cases at 1.1 million
Cases of the winter vomiting bug norovirus have exceeded 1.1 million, figures for England and Wales suggest.
Reported infections dipped over the festive break, but further cases are expected in the next few weeks.
The Health Protection Agency said there were 3,877 lab-confirmed cases up to 30 December - but for each confirmed case there are another 288 infections which go unreported.
The figure is 72% higher than at the same point last year.
Norovirus can be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, by contact with an infected person, or by the consumption of contaminated food or water.
John Harris, from the Health Protection Agency, said: "As we have seen in previous years there has been a dip in the number of confirmed laboratory reports owing to the Christmas and New Year period.
"However, in line with other norovirus seasons we will expect to see an increase in the number of laboratory reports in the next few weeks.
"If you think you may have the illness then it is important to maintain good hand hygiene to help prevent it spreading.
"We also advise that people stay away from hospitals, schools and care homes as these environments are particularly prone to outbreaks."
In the last two weeks of 2012 there were 29 hospital outbreaks compared to 70 in the previous fortnight.
Norovirus cases have appeared much earlier than usual this winter - cases normally occur after Christmas. It is not clear why, but the same pattern has been seen across Europe.
The Department of Health in England said 2.4% of beds were closed in the NHS due to norovirus symptoms compared with a peak of 2.9% last year.
A spokesperson said: "The NHS is well prepared for the winter. No A&Es have had to close so far this winter and we are providing additional funding to the NHS to help it cope with the added pressure that the winter brings."

Devils coach John Hynes goes over his lineup for Saturday night's game at Arizona. Andrew Gross/NorthJersey.com
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Coyotes goalie Scott Wedgewood will make his career-high fifth straight start on Saturday night. Somewhat fittingly, it comes against the Devils.
The Devils drafted the 25-year-old goalie in the third round in 2010, but he played just four NHL games for the franchise before being traded to the Coyotes on Oct 28 for a fifth-round pick.
"It feels like it's already been a year that I've been here," Wedgewood told the Coyotes' web site following the team's morning skate. "Just over a month ago, I was part of that team. But, obviously, when you get traded, you want to adapt and accommodate to where you're at as quickly as possible. I felt I've done that. This is home now."
Wedgewood started four straight games for the Devils in 2015-16, putting together a shutout streak of 159:34, which nearly matched Martin Brodeur's team record for the longest shutout streak by a rookie goalie.
Now, he's receiving consistent playing time with Coyotes No. 1 goalie Antii Raanta out with an upper-body injury. Wedgewood made a career-high 41 saves in Thursday night's 3-0 loss at Calgary.
"I like the work," Wedgewood said. "Mentally, it's awesome. You're in the NHL and you're playing hockey. You can't ask for anything more.
"For me, it's another start, another game," Wedgewood added of facing the Devils. "It's fun to play them. Everyone's the enemy when the puck drops."
Zacha, Santini out
Forward Pavel Zacha, 20, and defenseman Steven Santini, 22, along with eighth defenseman Dalton Prout, were the healthy scratches. Santini was scratched for the second straight game and Zacha was out of the lineup after playing six straight games following a stretch in which he was scratched in four out of five games.
"Sometimes those guys need a little bit of a reset," Hynes said. "It doesn't mean it has to be a long time where they get scratched."
All-Star ballot
Online voting for the 2018 NHL All-Star Game on Jan. 28 at Tampa, Fla. opened on Saturday and left wing Taylor Hall, No. 1 overall pick Nico Hischier and goalie Cory Schneider were the three Devils listed on the Metropolitan Division ballot, though write-in votes are also accepted.
The voting will close on Jan. 1.
Hall was the Devils' lone All-Star last season, his second straight selection.

Dear Pytosi,
We hope you are enjoying these rainy days while coding from your bed. But, don't get used to it, it's time to get out soon, because- guess what? Another Python Belgrade meetup is coming up! As you already know, we always try to bring something new and interesting to you, so this time, we prepared a little different concept of lectures.
We would like to invite you to come and join us on February 23 at 6pm and take the opportunity to hear our dear lecturers:
Milos Popović, Totient (Belgrade) :: https://sbgdinc.com/
Valentina Đorđević, Things Solver (Belgrade) :: https://thingsolver.com/
Topic: TensorFlow – Keras Tutorial
– Brief overview –
Valentina Đorđević from Things Solver and Miloš Popović from Totient will team up and give an exciting two-hour lecture. They will guide us through the magical ride of deep learning and TensorFlow basics, as well as user friendly high level API for deep learning called "Keras". But that's not all- to make things more interesting, they will do it with a widely accessible dataset and provide materials that will allow you to do it yourself at home.
This lecture will require familiarity with Python, but it will not assume any knowledge of neural networks.
We will gather at the usual spot- Kneza Mihaila 10, to hear and learn something new together. After that, we will traditionally join our friends from Silicon Drinkabout, relax, talk and have a couple of drinks. We can't wait to see you all, so don't forget to book your seat!

Best regards,
Python Belgrade

I'm currently in the process of packaging my submission for the Ubuntu App Showdown. I read in the rules that the package may not have dependencies that are not in the Ubuntu repository. But what exactly does that mean? May I upload a package that depends on another package in the Universe repository? And if so, how to I submit it to make the build-service happy? And if this is not allowed, how should I go about this? Include the library directly in my package?
Thanks, Adrian

Subject: Re: [xsl] Parse a date - exslt:parse-date in Saxon 6
From: "Martin Honnen martin.honnen@xxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:13:37 -0000
I can see that a suitable parser function (parse-date) is defined in Exslt but it isn't clear whether it is already available to me or how to get it into use if not. Actually according to the exslt documentation it is definitely not available in any XSLT processor but there are JavaScript and Msxsl implementations available.
Can someone advise how I can get this to work ?
Can I get Saxon 6 to call a JavaScript function ?

Sticking to my Budget
On the other hand, there are plenty of fun things to do in December for little to no cost like driving around and looking at Christmas lights. I did that with some friends on Sunday. Any other ideas for getting out of the house this month and not spending much money?
5 comments:
I love driving around and looking at lights. I can't really think of other things though!ReplyDelete
Go caroling and then come home for hot chocolate. Invite people over for Christmas movies and homemade pizza! Have a cookie exchange.ReplyDelete
Try looking for free stuff in the city like a Christmas in the Park where you can watch shows and trees, etc.ReplyDelete
Also think of homemade gifts or watching christmas movies!
- AnonymousDecember 11, 2011 at 3:40 PM
Catch a Santa Claus parade, have a Christmas baking party. Your local newspaper might have a listing of upcoming events too.ReplyDelete
I'm doing the opposite of you and not tracking. I'm trying not to put much stress or pressure on myself but I am sure I should come out good as I am really focused on putting down some money.ReplyDelete
I think you nailed the best low spend Christmas event already which is going about and look at lights. Besides that I'm stumped for ideas. I personally like going into town and walk around just looking at stuff. The reason I like it though is because this is the only time of the year our stores open late into the night. Normally everything is closed by 5pm.

Abby Hoffman
|Personal information
|Full name
|Abigail Golda Hoffman[1]
|February 11, 1947
Toronto, Ontario
|175 cm (5 ft 9 in)[1]

|Track & field
Medal record
Abigail Golda Hoffman, OC (born February 11, 1947) is a Canadian former track and field athlete.
Hoffman is Jewish, and was born in Toronto.[2][3][4] She learned to skate when she was three. When she was nine, she wanted to play hockey but there were no leagues for girls in the Toronto area. She cut her hair and registered herself as 'Ab Hoffman' in the boy's league. When it was discovered she was a girl, she was no longer allowed to play. Her parents took the case to the Ontario Supreme Court and the story was covered by Time Magazine and Newsweek.[5] She played for the St. Catharines Tee Pees, a boys' team in the newly formed Little Toronto Hockey League as a defenceman and was selected for an All-Star charity game.
Track and field[edit]
After her experiences with hockey, Hoffman participated in competitive swimming and then realized she was particularly suited to track and field, specifically 800-metre running. She competed in four Olympic Games: (1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976), four Pan American Games and two Commonwealth Games and was Canada's flag-bearer at the 1976 Games in Montreal. Hoffman competed in two summer Universiades in 1965 and 1967, where she took home a bronze medal and a silver medal respectively in the 800 metre event. She won the gold medal in the 880-yard event at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games She finished 7th in the 800 metres at the Mexico Olympics; and in the 1972 Munich games she was 8th in a historic women's 800 metre race in which the entire field but two broke the 2 minute barrier. Hoffman ran a 2:00.17 seconds; a Canadian record and personal best. She also won gold for the 800-metre race at the 1963 Pan American Games and 1971 Pan American Games and the bronze at the 1967, at the 1975 Games, a silver and a bronze for the 800-metre and the 1500-metre distances.
From 1981 to 1991, she was the first woman Director General of Sport Canada, a federal government sports agency. In 1981, she was the first Canadian woman elected to the Executive Committee of the Canadian Olympic Committee. From 1980 to 1982, she wrote a fitness column for the Canadian magazine, Chatelaine.
In 1982, she and Maureen McTeer, supported the first women's national championship in ice hockey (known as the Shopper's Drug Mart Women's Nationals). The Abby Hoffman Cup is named in her honour. Since 1995, she has been a council member of the International Association of Athletics Federations. In 2003, she was named senior advisor with Health Canada and is executive co-ordinator of Health Canada's pharmaceutical management strategies. She is currently the Assistant Deputy Minister for the Strategic Policy Branch for Health Canada.
She is also the sister of Paul F. Hoffman, a geologist who has promoted the "snowball earth" hypothesis.
In 1982, Hoffman was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2004, she was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. In 2007, she was inducted into the Jewish Canadian Athletes Hall of Fame.[2] In June 2015, she received an honorary Doctorate of Laws, from her alma mater, the University of Toronto.[6]

Private banking provides a service to individuals on high levels of income, offering the personalised service they seek, that cannot be obtained through the mass-market retail banks. Significant money laundering risks exist in the private banking sector and the relationship manager must be equipped to contend with these in a currently volatile marketplace.
The ICA Specialist Certificate in Money Laundering Risk in Private Banking provides you with an opportunity to understand the inherent money laundering risks that the international private banking community is faced with, and the mitigation strategies that can be adopted to protect clients and businesses.
This course is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester.
When you undertake the course, in addition to the essential concepts of AML and CTF, you will cover the following areas:
Download the full syllabus here
The course is specifically designed to be detailed yet accessible. Prior subject matter knowledge will be useful, but is not essential.
To get the most from the course, a good standard of English is required.
At the end of the online course you will take a one hour multiple choice exam of 25 questions.
Upon completion, you will be awarded:
You can study at home through online learning and attend a highly interactive workshop where offered.
Course fee: HK$ 9000
Email us at email@example.com for more information.
In order to study any ICA course you will need to become a member of ICA.
For those studying towards an ICA Certificate, Affiliate Membership is available at a cost of £30, payable to ICA, for the 3 months of membership, during your study period. This includes your assessment and access to invaluable resources that will help with your course, as well as many additional member benefits and services (view the list of membership benefits here).
A full years Affiliate Membership is £102, payable to ICA and we do recommend that you continue your Affiliate membership after you have completed your course, therefore the £102 for a full years membership works out a cheaper cost per month and better value for money.
