Promote the development of 5G applications, let 5G really bloom
Communication World Network News (CWW) June 7, 2018, guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Information and Communication Research Institute and IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group sponsored the "Bloom Cup 5G Application Collection Competition Final" Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
At the meeting, Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, delivered a speech. He pointed out that at present, 5G commercial footsteps are getting closer and closer, and exploring and promoting the popularization of 5G typical applications has become the key to successful commercialization of 5G.
5G Application Collection Competition
The 'Bloom Cup' 5G Application Collection Competition was officially launched on February 1, 2018. During the project collection period, the organizers held a series of activities such as 5G application industry seminar, wireless network and medical industry integration development summit forum, car networking forum, 5G VR/AR innovation forum, industrial internet theme forum, and Internet of Things open source platform forum.
After three months of project collection, more than 300 entries were received in the competition. After the initial review and rematch of the industry experts, a total of 30 projects were successfully selected for the finals. In the finals today, the first and second prizes of the competition were selected.
Wenku said that through this application collection contest, we have already seen the application potential of 5G in various fields such as industrial internet, car networking, and smart medical care, and felt the innovation and entrepreneurial vitality of enterprises and individuals.
In order to further promote the development of 5G applications, Wenku put forward three suggestions:
The first is to focus on cross-border integration. On the one hand, we must strengthen technology integration and innovation, promote the deep integration of 5G and cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other ICT cutting-edge technologies, and constantly improve the level of intelligence in the field of information and communication; on the other hand, we must further deepen the application of integration innovation, and vigorously cultivate 5G. With the integration of industrial, transportation, medical, environmental and other fields, we will continue to explore new products, new formats, and new models to help the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
The second is application-driven development. Currently targeting 5G commercialization, we must focus on discovering innovative applications that can be replicated, promoted, and quickly put into the market in technology and business models, and promote the emergence of open and platform-based integrated application solutions, by exploiting the radiation and demonstration effects of typical applications. Drive the scale and diversification of 5G services and applications.
The third is to accelerate the promotion of incubation. In the application collection contest, a number of outstanding innovation cases have emerged. In the next step, we must strive to achieve effective conversion of the results of the competition, increase the intensity of application incubation, promote the industrialization of terminals, networks and platforms for fusion applications, and promote the innovation chain and industrial chain. The continuous development of the capital chain lays the foundation for 5G commercialization.

PROLOGUE… Sitting in a rare momentary spot of sun on a Café terrace, a young woman drinks a coffee. As the sun slightly passes, she hears a great fanfare approaching. Trumpets, shouting, clapping, yelling and feet marching. Consuming the boulevard is a parade of unknown origins, advancing quickly and with glamour like a crowd of excited geese. With time bent by the pull of the crowd, the parade is already passing. The young woman stands to have a better look, she cannot see the centre - what might perhaps reveal the reason for this parade. Before she knows it she is walking, following, trying to understand, being infected by the giddy force of the movement. She meets John and Sandra others who have joined the march today. They follow and follow, hours and hours, until night is falling and they have reached some unknown fields far beyond the city. … Names are taken, tents are set up, and the three have found they have joined the military. …

Recently, my friend and I took the Coaster Train from Carlsbad to Old Town San Diego. Between us we had five kids ranging in age from 13 months to 10 years old. If you have taken that length of train ride you know, that the ride down is easy. Everyone is filled with anticipation about the adventure ahead. The ride home is another story however, everyone is tired and grouchy. My solution to this thorny problem is Cousin's Candy Shop in Old Town San Diego. Take the kids to this marvelous store full of sweet delights, let them pick out one item, give them an opportunity to savor it on the train ride home.
My ten year old made an impressive photo essay out of his candy store visit. Enjoy!
Happy Trails!

Documenting in photography my visit to the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco. This gorgeous garden and tea room sits in the middle of one of the largest tourist destinations of San Francisco- Golden Gate Park. If you are visiting the city, get there early to be sure to take a look at this rare gem!
Although the garden is notable in its own right, as with all tea gardens, it was created only as the gateway to the tea house enclosed within its gates. The design is classic Japanese, to allow the visitor to leave the hectic outside world, enter the enclosed garden and enjoy the peaceful approach to the tea house. The walk along the 'dewy path' allows the visitor to meditate and reflect on the classic elements of water, stone, expertly pruned plant specimens and focal points along the way. All Japanese Gardens use classic design elements that define their spaces.
These design elements can be identified here for use in contemporary gardens. They typically have the following components:
FOCAL POINTS and ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE: Japanese gardens use focal points to achieve elements of surprise as the visitor strolls down the path to the tea house. Focal points can be structural as in the pagoda, or they can be less obvious as in a gorgeous Japanese Maple, a lantern, an unusual rock formation, or a reflection in the large body of water.
HARMONY WITH NATURE: Japanese design uses elements that, although might be man made, have the look and feel of something that could occur in nature. This can be seen in the design of the bridge below. The lines of the bridge and color complement and blend in with the surrounding pines and plant material. It almost appears that the bridge arose and grew out of the forest floor.
SPACE: The use of open space in this type of garden is a design anchor and simple way of defining the area. In contemporary designs in the U.S.- almost all space is used up and consumed by design elements. In Japanese design, the use of bodies of water and other open areas allow for the visitor to fully 'breath' and take in the tranquility of the space. Space also creates drama in the use of open space with a single focal point, meant to particularly tantalize the visitor.
BALANCE: Japanese gardens achieve balance through the use of focal points and bilateral symmetry. This can be seen in plantings and other design elements and their placement in groupings.
SIMPLICITY or elimination of clutter: Japanese gardens use recurring simple themes and spaces to achieve balance. The use of stone, moss and spectacular specimen plantings or focal points illustrate this design concept.
UNDERSTATED: The use of subtle beauty to be discovered by the visitor is classic to this type of garden. In the example above, some of the small subtleties of this garden may be missed by the hurried visitor.
ARRIVAL: The tea room! If you have a chance to visit this incredible city, try to make a stop to the Japanese Tea Garden. It will be a memorable and tranquil experience.

Tips on Finding the Right Company for Garage Door Repair And Installation
The extent of damage often determines the success of any garage door repair project. However, it also depends heavily on the company that you hire to undertake the task. A licensed and reputed firm with a group of trained and experienced professionals under its belt has the capacity to handle and fix almost any problem that might arise pertaining to your garage door. Hence, it's important to choose the ideal company for garage door repairs and installation.
Another important reason why you need to spend some time looking for the right company is to prevent shoddy work, costly rates and unnecessary repairs. Below are some tips to help you look for the best service provider.
Make good use of recommendation
The search for a service provider starts with looking up the yellow pages, local and online classified directories for professionals offering garage door repairs and installation services. It's the right way to go about it. You can also ask friends and relatives to recommend service providers if they've recently had a garage door repaired or replaced.
Compare several multiple bids on the project
Most homeowners settle for the first repair and Installation Company they encounter since they are in a hurry. It's highly advisable to get multiple bids before you can award a project to any contractor. This helps you to compare the companies and find the best price on the project. Getting multiple bids is no longer a hassle since it is possible to get it easily on the phone or a company website in a matter of one day.
Go for licensed companies
If you want a quality Job in exchange of the cash paid, it is necessary to choose a professional with relevant qualifications and training. A legal licensing certificate is a good proof of a individual's ability and training in the field.
Assess the company's reviews
A great reputation is among the best criterion in choosing a garage door repair firm, but you should not count on it entirely. Most companies and individuals are registered with business bureaus who review them periodically according to customer reviews and complaints. You may look up the business bureau site in your state. It is also important to read previous customer testimonials to get a business or someone. Technicians and companies who provide quality services often attract positive reviews from clients.
The experience of the company in the business
When choosing a company to handle garage door repair and installation for you, it is important to ask how long they've been in the business. A company that's been in the company for long has the experience they need in handling all kinds of problems as they are well-versed in traditional methods and trained in the latest ways.

It's Easy Traveling to, and around, St. Pete/Clearwater
The St. Petersburg/Clearwater area is serviced by two major airports—St. Petersburg-Clearwater International (PIE), and the award-winning Tampa International Airport (TIA) located about 30 minutes away. Both are extremely convenient and well-serviced. PIE offers 56 non-stop destinations including new routes to Cleveland and Austin. Not only convenient, TIA is rated highly with travelers: it's the second-most popular large airport on J.D. Power's 2016 Airport Satisfaction Study.
Ground Transportation in the form of a rental car, taxi, shuttle, or car sharing services such as Uber will make it easy to get you to your destination from the airport. But if you feel like ditching your car while you're here, many neighborhoods are walkable, like downtown St. Petersburg, Clearwater Beach, and Gulfport. That said, driving around is relatively easy; roads generally follow a grid system and there are two major highways, I-75 and I-275, that will connect you to surrounding areas. All imaginable options for ground transportation, including car rentals and cars for hire, can be found at airports and through your hotel concierge.
Clearwater offers the Jolley Trolley for local trolley service, which is a convenient and money-saving option if you choose Clearwater for your vacation. St. Petersburg runs the Looper Trolley, which runs seven days a week and is free for all passengers.
Get outside of four wheels and skip the traffic with the Cross-Bay Ferry, a high speed ferry connecting downtown St. Pete to downtown Tampa via the calm waters of Tampa Bay.
Save time and money when traveling to Clearwater Beach by hopping on the Clearwater Ferry or explore Madeira Beach and John's Pass Village using the Tampa Bay Ferry. Park for free in downtown Clearwater and enjoy a relaxing cruise to the beach for under $10 roundtrip—free dolphin sightings are an extra bonus! Other great alternatives along the beaches include Florida Free Rides and Free Beach Rides, which, yes, are both free (tip-based) car services.

Yes, you read that right.....a DOUBLE SURPRISE PROPOSAL! I'll get to that in a minute, but first let me say that this has to be one of the sweetest proposals that I have ever photographed! Patrick and Rossmary are from Connecticut and were traveling down to Virginia Beach for a family vacation. Little did Rosemary know, but Patrick had hired me to document their surprise proposal! Patrick found me on Instagram on a Sunday night and we carefully crafted a perfect plan for Monday evening. In less than 24 hours we had a location, time and strategy! I dropped of a wireless microphone with instructions on how to use it to his hotel before they arrived in Virginia Beach. We shared numerous text messages and made sure that everything would go smoothly.
My husband (who is my VIDEO partner) and I captured the entire proposal in photos and video/audio without Rossmary even knowing! After proposing to Rossmary, Patrick also proposed to her daughter! CUE THE TEARS! It was so incredibly sweet. Not only did he make this day special for Rossmary, but he went out of his way to make her daughter feel loved as well. What a guy, right!??? I feel so lucky to have been able to witness this event. I am so happy for them and wish them nothing but happiness as a new family of three! :)
Patrick bought Rossmary's daughter a special doggy purse and beautiful gold ring with a pink flower on it. It was so sweet!

A series of mysterious narcotics-related homicides suddenly caught the attention of the International Intelligence Agencies when drug mules from all over the world started to turn up dead in perplexing situations.
As they continue to die, the British MI4 is determined to know what's going down. But so is the CIA and the Australian Intelligence. And so is the Denmark Intelligence and the French Intelligence, who have also encountered the couriers of death.
Was it just a coincidence? Or was there a sinister justification for these uncanny occurrences? MI4 Chief Colin Shooter believes there's a sinister justification behind the unfortunate couriers. He's a stickler, who never gives up on a conundrum and he's absolute determined to see things through.
But he needs an agent teeming with world-class, international espionage experience; a guy who knows his stuff like the back of his hand.
And if that means collaborating with old antagonist, Special Agent Jason Clay all over again, it won't be the end of the world.
Set in London, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Paris, Miami, Australia, Barbados, Houston, Copenhagen, Singapore, The Netherlands, South Carolina and Atlanta, it's espionage at its very best!
It's espionage as you've never seen it before!

Sunoak & John
I was talking with Sunoak, the bride, for a couple months and didn't know her fiance John was my friend John until a week before our initial meeting. I haven't seen him or his brother (John's best man) for years, but was glad to see them both in suits and bow ties. If there's anybody that I know that can pull of a bow tie and brogues on his wedding day, it's John and his brother.
It was a beautiful wedding with the craziest dancing I've had the pleasure of shooting.
The rest of their engagement photos and wedding are here.

I put my 25 worst performing students in a pilot program using Symphony Math... Their test scores improved by double digits, and one student raised his scores by 40%.
Middle School Teacher, Hawaii
I really hated math, because I didn't understand it. You have to think more, and it really helped me alot. When you put the bars in, the numbers show up, and sometimes when you put the numbers in, the bars show up. It' really helpful that way.
Student Grade 5, Rhode Island
… to drill and drill and drill with flashcards was not working for us. There will be some doors that will be open to her because she has been able to establish a solid foundation in math.
Parent, Florida
It was so much fun. It made me a lot happier in math and a made me a lot more confident to do things.
Student, Grade 4, Massachusetts
I have been excited by the gains my students have made. The kindergarten students really understand the basic concepts. The program allows the student to progress at his own developmental rate.
Principal, Wyoming
It teaches you new things, in new steps. Like in video games, when you explore new levels – and this is the same thing… except you learn…
Student Grade 5, Rhode Island
It's so refreshing to work with you and Symphony Math. I really appreciate your dedication to education.
Teacher, New York
The students really seemed to like the software… as they learned the tools to use while completing activities, they were able to proceed with ease. They were actually asking to go to the computer lab to work on Symphony Math by the end of the week.
Math Director, Connecticut
It helps me do {math} because if I had math on my homework I would get it wrong but on Symphony I can fix it so I know what {the error} is.
Student Grade 2, Massachusetts
I have thoroughly enjoyed Symphony Math... I have seen firsthand the learning gaps that have been bridged with this program.
Teacher, Texas
I think that from a cognitive learning side, what you've done is wonderful. It's helping them to look at numbers in a logical way, so that when the get to their math class, they understand better what their math teacher is saying.
Teacher, Hawaii
Contact us and learn how Symphony Math can help students from all backgrounds master mathematical concepts.

It just happened so 2 weeks ago when i was ready to leave my office and walk out...our site manager calls everyone in the common area and tells us that our general manager/company's vice president is no more working with us.
He is fired or laid off, whichever sounds better. I was lost, he is the same person who had hired me . I dont remember what was i thinking for next couple of moments...everything seemed pretty much blank. 3 days following this news, company released his wife, PS: she worked for us as well. I wasn't blank this time,just a little uneasy. Today, they released our office associate @ the corporate office. There is a rumor that the office associate at our plant is in the queue. I didnt feel anything....Its amazing how you get used to shocks.
But yes...i am scared of this current situation where people just wake up one day and know that they dont have a job anymore. This economy and the overall bad time leaves me with a big question mark....will i have my job tomorrow or it will limit everything to a laminated MS degree hanging on the wall, spa trips, daily shopping and snappy dressing??? or am i actually going to continue using my knowledge for working and making some money?????

Rebecca Culcasi
Rebecca Culcasi
M.S. and Ph.D. student in radiation oncology with a focus in medical physics
Studying medical physics at Karmanos Cancer Center, Rebecca received the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Fellowship for Graduate Study in Medical Physics (2016), the Wayne State University Graduate Professional Scholarship (2016 and 2017), and the Wayne State University Physics Graduate Student Research Award (2016 and 2017).
Driven by her passion to help those suffering and her family's own history with cancer, Rebecca Culcasi knew she wanted to combat the disease.
"Being self-aware enough to honestly assess my academic ability," she says, "medical physics became the natural fit for me to realize my dream."
There was little question of where she'd pursue this degree.
"WSU's medical physics program was not only one of the first to become an accredited program but is among the most established and prestigious programs in the world."
Why? The hands-on research and accessibility to established professionals in the field are unparalleled.
The medical physics program is housed in Karmanos Cancer Center's Radiation Oncology Department, a premier facility that neighbors Wayne State's campus. "In our department, we work alongside radiation oncologists and therapists to create treatment plans for cancer patients and ensure safe delivery of their radiation treatment," she says. "Students are trained in a clinical environment and work with the machines patients are treated on." And the university's Detroit location ensures access to "a dense and diverse community" with "unique and challenging medical cases."
"I've gained exposure to and perspectives on things that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to, which has been invaluable for my academic and professional career."
Rebecca has represented Wayne State on a national scale by presenting her research at conferences in Washington D.C., Denver, and Nashville, serving on a subcommittee that prepares professionals in her field, and earning the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Fellowship for Graduate Study in Medical Physics (2016). A highly competitive fellowship granted to one doctoral student in the nation biannually.
"I see [the AAPM fellowship] as recognition of all the hard work and sacrifices I have put in so far to get to where I am." It gives her the motivation to press on, she says.
In addition to being recognized by AAPM, Rebecca has earned the Wayne State University Graduate Professional Scholarship twice, and the Wayne State University Physics Graduate Student Research Award twice. Achievements that provided the financial stability for her to focus primarily on her academic pursuits.
After earning her degree, Rebecca hopes to practice clinically "in one of our acclaimed local health systems [while] holding an academic position in order to teach and conduct research."
Her tip for students to get the most out of graduate school?
"It is imperative to one's success that they have a strong work ethic. The degree itself doesn't confer expertise, it's the work behind the degree."

If a picture is worth a thousand words, why does Erwin Olaf's photography leave us speechless?
Interview by Tim Warrington.
Tim Warrington: How did you come to design the Dutch Euros coins?
Erwin Olaf: It was a really amazing experience. Twelve artists were commissioned to make a design, with only three making the final round. I was one of those three! I tried to make a design that had an extra layer to it – not just a pretty design. There are many rules for designing a coin (durability, fraud resistance,etcetera) and it was a great challenge to meet all the technical requirements. The Dutch landscape is made up of a lot of different elements, and I tried to incorporate these elements into the design by using different facets to create the portrait of the king.
Speaking of monarchs, if you were commissioned to do a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, how would you shoot her?
I always try to capture someone's personality in an aesthetic way, so I would try to do that. But it really depends what the portrait is for.
What can you not live without?
My partner, Kevin.
Your photographic series include titles like Grief and Royal Blood. What is that about?
With Royal Blood I was interested in society's fascination with death – this combined with our obsession for youth. The worldwide outpouring of grief for Princess Diana was a good example of this, a kind of mass televised hysteria, which truly fascinated me.
What was the reaction to your image of Princess Diana?
Largely positive but some people were offended. I kind of understand that reaction. She was adored by the people, but also she was the most recent person depicted in the Royal Blood series. I really like the portrait. I never intended to cast a look-alike, but once the model put on the wig, she looked a lot like Diana. It was a bit unsettling.
In the classic novel Brideshead Revisited, the character Charles Ryder says, "a camera is a mechanical device which records a moment in time, but not what that moment means or the emotions that it evokes. Whereas, a painting, however imperfect it may be, is an expression of feeling – an expression of love. Not just a copy of something."
Is this accurate? No, I don't think so. A photograph can evoke an emotion just as much as a painting. I think Charles Ryder was a bit short- sighted! I tried to capture the subtler emotions of sadness with my Grief and Rain series, for instance.
"I'm always interested in why something is a taboo. How did it become one?"
If you could shoot anyone anywhere, who would it be and where?
I don't have a fascination with celebrity, so I can't really give you a name. I've been blessed to have photographed so many interesting and fascinating people all around the world.
Are there photographic taboos – lines that you shouldn't cross?
I'm interested in taboos because they're subject to time and society's views. I'm always interested in why something is a taboo. How did it become one? I like to push the envelope by exploring these taboos visually.
Who is your favourite photographer?
I have a lot of respect for journalistic photography – the mother of all photography. Other than that, I don't have a favourite photographer, but I do love JH Lartigue and Irving Penn.
"With razor-sharp aesthetic intuition, Olaf purposely conceals his themes… yet in the end, his unconventional style never fails to deliver dramatic visual and emotional impact."
Have you blurred the line between art and advertising?
Not really, there's always a very clear line between art and advertising. I've used elements of advertising – mostly technical – in my personal work, but the distinction is very clear. In advertising there is always the product!
Tell us about the Milkshake Festival.
In the heart of the summer we have a big outdoor party in Amsterdam. We're trying to reach all audiences, hoping for a lot of fun and a little more mutual understanding between people. It's a celebration of diversity. I'm thrilled to be
a part of it.
If you could have one thing, what would it be?
[Laughs] World peace, of course.
What has been the most rewarding highlight of your career so far?
My career in itself is the most rewarding highlight in general. It has been such an amazing and rewarding ride. That said, the design of the coin was very special; receiving the Johannes Vermeer prize [a Dutch prize for the arts]; having my work exhibited all around the world; the reception of my installation work. The Keyhole [his installation from 2011/2012] was an artistic breakthrough. It was fantastic to have different fields of my work come together.

High-class is the best way to describe Alan Fowler's super '35 Chevy sedan. The all-steel Chevy body sits atop an Outlaw chassis and is powered by a Street & Performance ZZ385 – and coincidentally, it was built by Butch Bozarth owner of the '33 Dodge pickup that also garnered a TOP-10 pick at the same event.

The Basque regional Government commissioned a report about Torture between 1960 and 20131 from a group of Forensic experts at the Basque Criminology Institute. According to their findings, published in their report in December 2017, 4113 individuals reported having been subjected to torture while under arrest. The report included the application of the Istanbul Protocol to a randomly selected sample of 202 individuals. The report found that out of the sample 11% of the cases had a maximum credibility, 46% were very consistent, 41% were consistent and 2% were inconsistent regarding the existence of torture but consistent with inhuman or degrading treatment as well as the use of excessive force during arrest.
In January 2018, the Spanish Government blocked the decision by the Government of Navarre to commission a similar report.
The Spanish Government has always denied the existence of systematic torture against Basque activists and has repeatedly referred to an alleged "ETA handbook" ordering activists to report torture even if it had not taken place.
Despite those claims, there are at least three main arguments to maintain that either torture existed or, at least, has not been acted against by the Spanish Government:
- Whenever ETA members have been arrested on French soil they have always keep silent, not a single ETA member has ever provided a statement or confession to French officers. However, ETA members arrested in Spain have provided full, incriminating statements, including passwords for encrypted data containers, locations of weapons caches and other information that would never have been obtained if not provided by the detainee. Political activists, journalists or youth accused for street-rioting/sabotage have also provided self-incriminating statements and reported having done so as a result of torture.
- The Spanish refusal to apply the long standing basic recommendations of the CPT is clear proof of their lack of willingness given that the recommendations were as simple as to ensure:
– The right to be assisted by a lawyer of your own choice in private
– The right to a medical examination by a doctor of your own choice
– The right to communicate to a family member the fact and place of detention
- Lack of investigation of reported torture and protection and promotion of convicted torturers. Only 3% of the formal complaints were investigated, all the rest being automatically dismissed; on the rare occasions when officers from either the Policia Nacional or Guardia Civil were convicted, a half of them were later pardoned (28). One, a "José Domínguez Tuda" received two consecutive pardons. Most convicted torturers received promotions and awards and some have reached the highest ranks.
During the CPT visit to Spain in 2001 [CPT/Inf (2003)], the CPT delegation held consultations, among others, with the representative of the Judicial Police, José María de las Cuevas Carretero, who was convicted for torturing Kepa Urra in 1992. After the conviction, he was received by the President of the Spanish Government in his residence, the Moncloa, on 15 July 1999, and the following day he was pardoned by the Government.
Five of the torturers of Joxe Arregui, who died under torture in February 1981, were convicted and jailed for that crime for a short while. A protest by their fellow officers forced a new trial and finally only two were convicted (3 months of arrest and 2 and 3 years disqualification from public employment). All five of them received multiple awards and were subsequently promoted to positions of high responsibility, even to a key position as the Commissioner General of the Judicial Police.
The ECHR has convicted Spain eight times for not conducting proper investigations into torture complaints, one of the best known cases, the case of the Egunkaria daily newspaper chief editor Martxelo Otamendi, was considered by the ECHR. The Court convicted the Kingdom of Spain in 2012 for failing to investigate Mr Otamendi's torture complaint. The court recalled the Spanish refusal to apply the long standing recommendations of the CPT.
On 13 February 2018 the ECHR convicted Spain for the Inhuman and Degrading Treatment of two Basques arrested in 2008. The case of Igor Portu and Mattin Sarasola is the first time the ECHR convicts the Kingdom of Spain for Inhuman and Degrading Treatment as opposed to convicting Spain for not investigating complaints.
The Province Court of Gipuzkoa convicted four Guardia Civil, but the Supreme Court overturned the decision, questioning the claimants' version -partially admitted by the Provincial Court- and denying any value as evidence of the forensic reports, arguing that they were founded on false premises.
3 of the 7 magistrates of the European Court of Human Rights expressed a joint partly dissenting and partly concurring opinion, stating that it was "almost indisputable" that there was torture. In other words, they believe the Kingdom of Spain was not only responsible for the Inhuman and Degrading Treatment of these two citizens, but also of torture.
We shall note that under human rights guidelines all legal proceedings in which there is a suspicion of inhuman and degrading treatment or torture are void. Given the impact of torture in the Basque Conflict, several voices have raised the need to review convictions of for terrorism-related offences.

Once training finishes fans will be able to see the team coach, tour the ground, taking in the Boardroom, a mock-up of Town's pre and post-match press conference area, tunnel area and the changing rooms!
In a rare opportunity, the Billy Smith Memorabilia covering the 1920's glory period of the Club will be also on display.
Then at 1pm we'll head over to the Fantastic Media Stand where the players will hold a mega signing session until 3pm, concluding a money can't buy day out at the Club.
There will be lots of other things to do for all the family on the day.
They'll also be many unique items to buy as we incorporate our traditional 'Kit Man' sale into the day, giving supporters the opportunity to get theirs hands on the players' kit as well as other exclusive items from last season.
Last year over 750 people attended a record breaking event and we hope numbers will be even higher this time.

When a couple does not agree on something, things can escalate quickly. In most instances, this means a quick argument which is resolved at a later time. However, sometimes disagreements between spouses or family members can get really heated and, on some occasions, violent. If you or a loved one has been involved in an incident related to domestic violence, understanding what could happen next is important for both parties involved.
If the police are called to a home due to allegations of domestic violence, they may enforce and "EPO," or Emergency Protection Order. Emergency Protection Orders are a kind of restraining order, but a temporary restraining order. It's meant to give space to both parties involved in a domestic violence situation to prevent any further escalations of violent behavior. There are other, more permanent, restraining orders that could result after-the-fact.
There is the more traditional restraining order, sometimes called a protection order, that is meant to last in the long term. A protection order is different from an EPO because it lasts for a much longer period of time, typically for one to five years. In some extreme circumstances, protection orders can last for a lifetime. A victim can renew the protection order if that person still feels threatened by the abuser at a time when the protection order is expiring.
Restraining orders can complicate a person's life significantly. Since domestic violence, by definition, happens between family members, it could alienate a person from their family. It could have implications on a child custody arrangement if one exists, or will exist later on. It's important to understand the long-lasting consequences filing for a restraining order can have on everyone involved.

Home Makeovers have never been more popular. When people want to adapt their current home to better suit their needs, remodeling is the way to create a dream home. If you could add whatever you wanted to your home, what would it be?
The Icon Remodeling Process:
The most frequently asked question we get is…" So, how does this work?"
At Icon, our remodeling process always starts with a free in-home consultation from one of our designers.
This appointment is important for our process because not only do we get a chance to get a full understanding of the scope of work, we also get to connect and collaborate with the homeowner. Once we understand the goals, vision and "must-haves" for the project, we can create specifications for the work. Our specifications will clearly outline the scope of the project and all inclusions. We recognize that it's our job to ensure that our customers understand all the details of the project and so we encourage open communication.
Often projects will require architectural plans. In these cases, we work closely with our homeowners and one of our architectural partners to ensure the perfect plan for the house. Our goal is to come up with a design that fits both the needs of the homeowner, and their budget.
Once specifications and plans have been agreed upon, we will facilitate any necessary permitting. We like to use this time to finalize the finishes and final touches. Our designers work with our homeowners to make the selection process as convenient as possible. We have a beautifully outfitted showroom available to aid in the selection of materials such as tile, hardwood, cabinetry, and fixtures, or we would be happy to bring samples to the jobsite.
We recognize that communication is vital during construction. A project manager will be on site to meet regularly with the homeowners, to oversee the scheduling of tradesman, the projects progress, and will also be present for all required inspections during the course of your remodel.
Let's face it…remodeling is inconvenient! Living through construction can be tough. We work very hard to make sure the process is as painless as possible by leaving the workspace swept and tidy, and protecting all unaffected parts of the house.
Finally, when the remodel is complete, our project managers conduct a final walk through with our homeowners to ensure complete satisfaction!
The Perfect Home Makeovers Are Those That Create Your Dream Home
Home Makeovers have never been more popular. When people want to adapt their current home to better suit their needs, remodeling is the way to create a dream home. If you could add whatever you wanted to your home, what would it be?
Creating a Dream Kitchen: Some of the most popular kitchen makeover ideas add style and entertaining ease to everyone's favorite room.
Natural Countertops: Homeowners vote almost uniformly for natural, stylish and easy-to-care-for countertops. Granite or quartz were the winning countertop choices by a landslide. These natural materials boast an incredible variety of colors and patterns.
Tile Backsplashes: The perfect finishing touch to the sophisticated new granite counter-tops, in the opinion of many homeowners, is provided by tile back splashes.
A Kitchen for Cooking and Entertaining: Envision a kitchen that would allow two people to comfortably cook together while remaining close to friends and family. This kitchen would include safe and convenient prep areas and an over-sized bar where guests and family can comfortably nibble appetizers while remaining outside of the cook's traffic area. An inset marble area for rolling out dough or cookies and a self-service coffee station are must-haves. Complete the picture with custom cabinets that hold a wide variety of cooking pans and small appliances.
A "WOW" Bathroom: People hate cramped, dingy bathrooms. If a home is for sale, a bathroom remodeling project that makes the prospective buyer go, "Wow!" can clinch the sale.
Custom Tile Floors: A feature floor tile makes a statement in either a large or small space since it doesn't take up any room. The same tile can be included in the shower walls or floor for a coordinating accent.
A Feature Wall: Marble, onyx or natural wood used for a feature wall add a sense of luxurious sophistication to almost any bathroom remodeling project.
Add a Bath: Three bathrooms is the minimum for many homeowners and prospective buyers. They want a master bath, a family bath, and a powder room for guests.
Remodeling for Empty Nesters: Families change over time and so do their needs. When the kids are young, the family room may be devoted to video games and watching Disney movies. When the kids have grown and moved, it's time for a basement remodeling project.
Hobby Space or Sewing Room: Hobbyists often long for a space to call their own, where they can safely leave a project-in-process by simply closing the door.
An In-home Gym: Exercise equipment is bulky and not really decorative, but exercise enthusiasts prefer their daily workouts in the comfort of their own homes.
A Meditation Room: Create a serene, private space to meditate and feel at peace. Bamboo flooring and niches for scrolls or flower arrangements complete the separation from everyday anxieties.
Make Use of Wasted Space: Most basements are unfinished spaces. When planning a basement rehab, the guys or the teens usually have a lot of ideas.
The Man-Cave: What man wouldn't like his own space? A monstrous TV, big, comfy couches, a small cooking area, a fridge and a pool table. Add tough, easy-to-clean flooring and perhaps a fireplace. Life is good.
A Teen Hangout: Keep the teens at home by giving them their own place to hang with their friends. Add a spare bedroom or two for friends to stay over.
In addition to being professional home remodeling contractors, Icon Building Group has created over 2,000 dream homes in the past fourteen years. We guarantee "on time and on budget" during every phase of the building project. Talk to us about the ideas you have for your own dream home. You'll be glad you did.

Indonesian election officials are expected any time soon to declare Jakarta governor Joko Widodo the winner of a hotly contested presidential election allegedly marred by massive cheating, Reuters reported.
Widodo, 53, beat former special forces chief Prabowo Subianto by about five percentage points, according to a private count.
However, Prabowo is refusing to concede defeat and is expected to challenge the result in the Constitutional Court. Experts say such an appeal is unlikely to succeed.
A spokesman for the Election Commission said the announcement would be made by 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Outgoing President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged whoever loses the closest presidential race in Indonesia's history to acknowledge the outcome to avoid violence. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation.
Widodo, who has a film-star following, stormed his way to the top rungs of leadership with a clean image and a reputation for competence in local government, in contrast with the autocracy, corruption and power politics that have weighed down the country for decades.
Prabowo's reputation as a strongman and his vow to reverse the indecisiveness of the outgoing government won him a large following among people yearning for a return to old-style politics, the report said.

In anticipation of Pope Francis' visit to Kenya this month, we thought it would be good to bring you 20 fun facts you may now know about him:
1. He's from Buenos Aires, making him the first pope from Latin America.
2. That also makes him the first pope born outside of Europe in more than 1,000 years.
3. He's the first Jesuit pope.
4. He is 76.
5. He chose the name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, a 13th-century monk known for his charity and kindness to animals.
6. Before his election, he was the archbishop of Buenos Aires.
7. He is known for leading a simple life, eschewing a mansion to live in a Spartan apartment.
8. He rode mass transit in Argentina, and chose to take a minivan with the other cardinals after he was elected pope rather than ride in a special sedan.
9. He cooks his own meals.
10. In his youth, he enjoyed dancing the tango with a girlfriend before discovering a "religious vocation."
11. He trained as a chemist.
12. He is one of five children and his parents were from Italy.
13. He has been criticized for not speaking out against Argentina's military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s.
14. He slammed other Latin American priests who objected to the baptizing of children born out of wedlock.
15. He was critical of Argentina's decision to legalize same-sex marriage, calling it "a destructive attack on God's plan." He also opposes gay people's adopting children.
16. In 2001, he washed the feet of 12 patients with AIDS at an Argentine hospice.
17. He speaks four languages: English, Spanish, Italian and German.
18. He had a lung removed as a teenager, after an infection.
19. He is rumored to have been the runner-up in 2005, losing that papal election to Benedict XVI.
20. After being elected pope, he remained standing on the same level as the cardinal-electors rather than sitting in a throne.
FAVORITE FOODS: Francis adores mate, the typical Argentine tea, and readily sips from mate gourds handed up to him from fans. He prefers meat over fish and has a sweet-tooth: Friends from home bring him alfajores, the Argentine cookies filled with dulce de leche and covered in chocolate. But visitors to the Santa Marta dining room say he's not a finicky eater and consumes pretty much anything he is served. He has said he misses going out for pizza and recalls fondly getting pizzas after watching San Lorenzo games at Buenos Aires' "Gasometro" stadium en famille.

Location : Tintagel, Cornwall
Client : New British Design & Kudvha
I was approached by the clients to capture these amazing treetop shelters for architectural press. Located in a quarry in North Cornwall, Kudhva (meaning 'Shelter' in Cornish) is a collection of these beautiful structures on stilts.
The dense woodland and unique angular design posed a number of issues initially but enabled me to capture some striking images and i'm thrilled with the results!

I'm currently building a native JVMTI agent for Java 1.7. The problem is that I need to index some data regarding specific Java's object instances. So my question is can I use jobject type's value as an object's instance ID to retrieve my indexed data ?
I have look for any information about what is the semantics of jobject type. Is it a pointer on Object's memory location ? Is it a stack pointer address ? Is it an address to a JVM's internal structure ? So I can't figure out if jobject's value is unique and immutable along Java object's life.
Thanks for your help.
According to JNI's specifications found here, jobject seems to be a pointer on Object's instance.
When you say you "jobject type's value" I am guessing you mean the value returned by the toString. If you look at the java doc It states that:
The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
And if you look at the Java doc for the hashCode method it states:
Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer
and also
As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)
Update: Response to Ryan's comment: System.identityHashCode will get you the original hash code even if the hashcode method is overridden. However, like comments note its not really unique.
So I guess the answer to your questions is yes its immutable and its very very likely to be unique but you should read the docs or source code for your JVM.
At least in HotSpot, jobject is indeed a pointer to an object location, that is, dereferencing it will give you an address that is unique for each object, which is half of the "unique and immutable identity" that you ask about. The problem is that the address can change during garbage collection, since HotSpot can move objects around.
The JVMTI GetTag and SetTag functions internally use a hash table from the object location to the tag. HotSpot updates this hash table whenever objects are moved around, something which you cannot easily replicate from the position of a JVMTI agent. Assigning your own unique identity values with the tags, as you say you are already doing, is probably the only way to go here.
