Power, Politics and Coalitions in the Pacific: Lessons from Collective Action on Gender and Power
Four factors emerge from the case studies as influential in the formation and functioning of coalitions.
Formative events: What brought people together to 'do something' in a concerted way? For example, the torture and death of a woman in a sorcery-related violence incident, followed by extensive media coverage and a conference generated the impetus for the formation of the PNG coalition examined in this study. Whether formative events are locally or externally driven appears to mould the future shape of a coalition and how it functions.
Shared purpose, interests and values: Clarity of shared ground and common purpose helps coalitions increase their support base, coherence and influence. The dominant forms of common purpose identified by this study are shared values and interests. For example, the Fiji case study illustrates how shared values around universal human rights and a common purpose of fighting a constitutional amendment bound together a broad range of actors to challenge gender relations.
Forms of leadership: The nature of a coalition's leadership can determine its sustainability and its ability to respond to changing circumstances, broker relationships and divergent interests, and challenge vested interests. This study found that some coalitions understood and practised leadership as a process of adaptation; others understood leadership to be a characteristic of leaders. For example, the Tonga Talitha case study revealed efforts to divest and decentralise leadership to overcome the limitations of individual leadership.
The nature of ownership: The degree to which a coalition's agenda is locally owned and its ways of working are politically salient appears to be key to determining its effectiveness. This study found that the coalitions examined could be broadly characterised as local/hybrid variations. For example, the Kiribati coalition formed following a regional meeting and was initially supported by international donors. However, it quickly became 'localised' because its coordinator and members were I-Kiribati and they set its agenda and direction.
The report also discusses how the coalitions engage with different dimensions of power, and emerging lessons for coalitions and their supporters.

An ingredient we often use in our kitchen is the onion. Many traditional dishes from all around the world contain it. It's delicious and gives a distinctive flavor to anything, but did you know it's abundant in medicinal properties?
Onions contain sulfur that is full of antiseptic and antibiotic properties. It improves our immune system and is considered to be among the best natural remedies against vomiting.
Onions can help us against bronchitis, the flu, common colds, respiratory problems and coughs. It is also full of increased amounts of an antioxidant called quercetin that fights against the damage of the free radicals. Onions are amazing against high levels of cholesterol, blood sugar, heart problems and arthritis.
Vomiting- Take yellow and white onions. Grate them and squeeze out the juice. Wrap the squeezed onions into a cheesecloth. Take some peppermint tea and brew it. Let it cool down. Take 2 teaspoons of the onion juice. Wait for 5 minutes and after that, take 2 teaspoons of the cooled peppermint tea. This should be repeated several times. You'll soothe nausea in 15 minutes and treat vomiting!
Fever-Take coconut oil and rub some of it on the bottom of your feet. Put several onion slices on the arch of your foot. Wrap your feet. Put on some cotton socks. You'll treat fever and detoxify your body.
Breakup chest congestion-Crush several onions and combine them with coconut oil to prepare a paste. Put the paste on your chest. Cover your chest using a towel.
A cough-Take an onion and peel it. Slice it in half. Put some brown sugar on each of the halves. Wait for 1 hour to pass. Then, you can consume the onion. It can relieve any cough instantly!
Cuts-Onions have a transparent film on their skin. It has very strong antiseptic properties that stop bleeding right away.
Glowing Skin–Take 1 and ½ tablespoons of onion juice, 2 tablespoons of gram flour, a pinch of nutmeg and ½ a teaspoon of milk. Put this paste on your skin and neck. It will be glowing soon!
Fight Aging-Extract some onion juice and put it on your skin. Your circulation will be improved and you'll reverse aging.
Reverse Gray Hair-Take 1 liter of water and combine it with 5 onions. Leave this to boil for 10 minutes. Strain it and let it cool down. Put this mixture at the same time with your shampoo on your scalp.
Treat freckles– Put some onion slices on your freckles. Their appearance will be reduced instantly.
Hair loss– Squeeze some onion juice and massage it on your scalp to prevent hair loss and make your hair grow stronger.
Purify the air– Put several pieces of cut onion around your home. The air will be purified of bacteria and viruses.
Ear pain/infection– Chop some onion. Wrap it in a sock and tie it. Put it inside your painful ear.
Colic-Dice several yellow onions and boil them in water. Let this mixture to cool down. Strain it and give 1 teaspoon of it to a baby that has colic. It will be relieved immediately!

Information that ought to be shown to 'compassionate progressives' who espouse open borders. Sheriff Border Fence Helped Cut Crime in Yuma by 91 PercentPoliticians are 'not out here when it's 120 degrees, processing a crime scene where 14 people were left to die in the desert'By Charlotte CuthbertsonDecember 26, 2018 Updated: December 26, 2018YUMA, Arizona—Right along the southwest border, sheriff's departments are left picking up the pieces in the wake of cross-border crime. It then spreads beyond the border.Consequently, sheriffs need a bigger seat at the table during border security discussions, said ex-Marine and Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot."We all too often see interviews in Washington [with] mayors and governors but, no offence, they are not the ones that are down here on the border," Wilmot said in an interview at his office on May 25."They are not the ones that are investigating the crimes. They are not the ones out here when it's 120 degrees, processing a crime scene where 14 people were left to die in the desert."Wilmot has witnessed it all in his 30-plus years with the sheriff's department. He knows a vulture will peck a human body down to nothing but bone, because he has seen it. He knows bandits follow the smugglers over the border and rape the women before running back to Mexico, because he is left with the victims. He knows the cartels will commit any crime to get drugs and humans across the border.Yuma County is 5,522 square miles—larger than the state of Connecticut—and it shares 126 miles of border with Mexico. California and its Imperial Sand Dunes are just a mirage away on the western border beyond the Colorado River.The Yuma Border Patrol Sector used to be the worst in the country for illegal crossings, until it became a poster-child for the effectiveness of a border fence.In 2005, before the fence, more than 2,700 vehicles crossed the Colorado River and open deserts, loaded with illegal immigrants and drugs, according to Border Patrol numbers.Apprehensions steadily increased to more than 138,000 in fiscal 2005."Yuma battled entrenched smuggling groups for control of the border," said Border Patrol in a video. "Mass incursions often left agents outnumbered 50 to 1. Agents were assaulted with rocks and weapons daily."Following the Secure Fence Act of 2006, Yuma tripled manpower and added mobile surveillance, as well as fencing and vehicle barriers.Yuma went from having 5.2 miles of fencing to 63 miles, and subsequently saw an almost 95 percent decrease in border apprehensions by 2009, when Border Patrol made about 7,000 arrests.Ancillary Crime Down 91 PercentIt also directly affected what the sheriff's department had to deal with."We were able to reduce [ancillary crimes] by 91 percent," Wilmot said. "The deaths in the desert, the rapes, the robberies, the homicides, the burglaries, the thefts."But the fence was only one part of the equation, said Capt. Eben Bratcher. The other part, under Operation Streamline, was 100 percent prosecution of illegal border crossers."If you did try to cross and you got caught, you were held accountable. There were consequences," Bratcher said. "So the combination, the fence slowed them down, but they are going to find a way over it, under it, through it, whatever. But the real issue was, when you got caught, you went to jail. It stopped." Bratcher said that before the fence and Operation Streamline, the area was out of control."My patrol guys would be out there, and we're trying to do our primary job, which is community safety and investigating crimes, and we would encounter people who were being smuggled or sneaking across, every night," he said."If you tried to pull over a van that had the windows spray-painted black, you were absolutely ensured that there was going to be a vehicle pursuit coming because they would just take off, and over and over and over again we experienced that. Several horrible crashes, multiple people dying—and not just the people that were smuggling and being smuggled—but innocent people who were trying to live here were impacted hugely by that kind of activity.Operation Streamline shut all that off for us."However, during the Obama administration, Operation Streamline was curtailed and the 100 percent prosecution policy was halted."When they did away with that, they [started] coming again, and the numbers that are coming through Yuma are way back up—not where they were, but it is disturbing to see the trend increasing again and the tactics changed again, too," Bratcher said. "When you take away the prosecution, rather than trying to sneak through, now they just walk across and give themselves up." Political AgendaBorder Patrol in Yuma apprehended more than 26,000 illegal aliens in fiscal 2018.Although the numbers pale in comparison to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas (more than 162,000 apprehensions for the same period), it is still "maddening" to Bratcher that his community suffered due to Obama-era policies."When they put their own political agenda above the quality of life of American citizens and Yuma citizens, what is their motivation? It makes you question that," he said.During the Obama era, Wilmot was forced to take matters into his own hands."It got to the point where, because the feds would not prosecute those drug smugglers backpacking marijuana across, I had to deputize federal officers so they could actually take those cases to our County attorney and charge them with a state crime—and it was a 100 percent prosecutable case," Wilmot said.Wilmot said the U.S. attorney would refuse those cases, so prior to being deputized by the sheriff, the federal officers had no choice but to release the smugglers."That's when we saw an uptick in drug smuggling, especially marijuana," he said. "The individuals would come across, the U.S. attorney's office would not charge them, the dope was seized, they would cut them loose, and it was a revolving door. They just kept coming back, coming back, coming back."But prosecuting on a state or county level, instead of federal, came with a hefty price tag."It ended up costing sheriffs in Arizona about $30 million to house these individuals that had committed crimes [and] were here illegally in this country, smuggling in heroin, dope, marijuana, cocaine," Wilmot said."When I've got 115 [drug] backpackers in here—it's $130 a day for us for housing an inmate—well, they're in here for 118 [days] to a little bit longer, on average. And then the medical cost, we have to [bear] that, too."The State Criminal Alien Apprehension Program was designed to reimburse jails with federal dollars for housing illegal aliens, but Wilmot said he was only getting back about 5 cents to the dollar."So local tax payers still had to pick up the rest of that burden."Wilmot said he has deputized Border Patrol agents, DEA agents, FBI agents, and Homeland Security Investigations agents.He said he hasn't needed to take such extraordinary measures since President Donald Trump took office, as the feds have stepped up again to prosecute criminal aliens and illegal border crossers."It was frustrating for us, and it was also frustrating for our federal partners that swore the same [oath] that we did to protect and serve and enforce the laws of our country," Wilmot said. "And to see them hamstrung by politics … and that's why I said, you can't mix politics with public safety at all, period. It just shouldn't happen. Unfortunately, it still does and we see it today."In April, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a return to 100 percent prosecution of all adult illegal border crossers. After an outcry over adults and children being separated as a consequence of prosecution, Trump issued an executive order on June 20 to halt the separations but continue prosecuting as practicable.In response, Customs and Border Protection ordered the temporary suspension of referrals for prosecutions for illegal entry for adults who are traveling with children, while the agency worked out a process with the Justice Department to maintain family unity while enforcing prosecution efforts."The executive order continues the zero tolerance policy, which means there are no categories of people exempt from our laws, though family unity must be maintained, and child safety and welfare is paramount," said a Customs and Border Protection statement on Sept. 11...............................................................https://www.theepochtimes.com/sheriff-bo...nt_2749236.html
Illegitimi non Carborundum During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.- OrwellThe further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it - Orwell
President Trump should understand...He is not going to get the wall in any form.~Chuck SchumerOne of the tourist attractions in Yuma is an old territorial prison used back in the 19th century. I think the authorities should reopen it and put the drug smugglers and coyotes in it. That place is so brutal it will definitely have an impact toward decreasing illegal activities by both groups. One of the legends surrounding the prison was that the guards used to torment the prisoners by dropping scorpions down on them via an airhole at the top. Probably true.
They should put Schumer in it...

AbstractDetermining the sequence of genes along a region of DNA from the results of experimental data is a difficult task called Map Assembly. A map indicates the order of the genes and other markers called restriction enzymes. It is a time consuming activity, carried out manually by the geneticist. The data from which maps are produced contain a high degree of error, due to experimental limitations, and several feasible solutions may be constructed from the same data. Distinguishing between competing solutions relies on the geneticist's subjective judgement. Although computer applications have been developed for map assembly they have been either restricted in the amount of data that could be handled or they addressed related problems.
This thesis has investigated and developed suitable computer techniques for automating map assembly. A novel objective method for evaluating maps was devised that was based on the expert's heuristics. The method was successful in identifying optimal maps. A new search technique based on a form of genetic algorithm(GA) was developed to generate potential maps from a set of experimental data. The objective system for evaluating maps was incorporated into the GA. Optimal gene maps could be generated automatically, then merged together to produce a multi-gene map. In many cases, the sequence of genes and restriction enzymes was very close to the sequence as determined manually by the geneticist but could be produced in a fraction of the time.

text: As we've seen before in Acts, our spiritual enemy Satan opposes the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Satan cannot stand it when the name of Jesus Christ is exalted and the message of Jesus Christ is spread. So, once again, this time in Ephesus, Satan stirs up opposition to the message of Jesus, so much so that a riot breaks out. Satan's opposition and work in Ephesus in the past is repeated all over the world today in places like North Korea, Somalia, China, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and even in the U.S. But, just like in Ephesus, Satan is no match for the power of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, God wins and the gospel spreads, though not without struggle and hardship.

We'v used this recipe for many family gatherings and everyone loves it.
Nov 14, 2016
I have made this many times for family events. Always have to double it (Huge Family), I usually use 1 can cream of mushroom and 1 can cream of celery. I also add some diced precooked chicken. I love it because you can adjust to your own specific tastes. Thank you for the great recipe. Even my broccoli hating family members like it.
Sep 22, 2016
Tasted good, but didn't like the texture. Will try making it again using Velveeta instead of Cheez Whiz.
Feb 24, 2016
I remember eating this as a child. It turned out really salty and I love salt. I didn't serve it, I quickly boiled some chicken in water, bay leaf and spices then added the casserole to the broth with the diced up chicken and now we had soup for dinner.
Mar 21, 2015
My family and I loved this recipe but I made some alterations to it. ..i substituted evaporated milk for 2/3 cups of vitamin D (x2), as well as I used "shamys garlic butter" for sauteing the onions and broccoli. I also used velveeta cheese (about 16 cubes) in the sauce as well as I used 1 can of cream of celery(instead of chopped celery) and 1 can of cream of mushroom..oh and I MIXED everything in a souffle dish and topped with the rest of the sauce that was left and with shredded Monterey cheese! It came out very creamy and cheesy but not soupy. My husband and two kids LOVED IT!! There was no left overs!!! I will be making this again!
Oct 22, 2014
I've made this many times and everyone likes it - even those who don't like broccoli.
Oct 22, 2014
I make my sister make this everything Thanksgiving!! LOVE IT
Dec 28, 2013
I have made this several times and we love it. I do pre-cook the broccoli before since we like our cooked veggies fork-tender, not crisp-tender (except for corn on the cob). This time I used cream of broccoli soup that I happened to have. And I use a cup of Cheez Whiz for the cheese sauce.
Apr 16, 2013
I have used this recipe since it came out in Taste of Home for years. It is a huge family favorite..in fact, I am making it today to take to one of my daughter's friends who just had her wisdom teeth out and needs something yummy but squishy to eat! A definite must try!

WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to strip India of a special status that exempts billions of dollars worth of Indian exports from American tariffs, raising new trade tensions with the world's second most populous country.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative said on Monday night that India and Turkey would no longer be eligible for preferential market access to the United States. While the decision to terminate Turkey's status stemmed from that country's economic development, the move against India was retaliatory. It came after a year of failed efforts by the Trump administration to compel India to lower its trade barriers, including the tariffs it charges on American goods.
Mr. Trump's decision to confront India over its trade practices ratchets up trade tensions at a moment when the administration has been trying to ease frictions with China, which have rattled global financial markets and unsettled businesses.
But India's high tariff rates have been a major source of frustration for Mr. Trump, who has repeatedly assailed India for charging steep tariffs on American motorcycles. The president routinely criticizes India's "unfair" trade practices and highlighted the disparity between how the United States and India treat imports in sharply worded remarks during last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
"India is a very, very high-tariff nation, and they charge tremendous, tremendous numbers," Mr. Trump said, adding that he wanted to impose a "reciprocal tax" on India.
Mr. Trump frequently cites Harley-Davidson when complaining about India's trade practices, criticizing the country for charging 50 percent duties on Harleys and other motorcycles. While Harley-Davidson does sell motorcycles in India, it has moved much of that production abroad to avoid tariffs and has opened a factory outside New Delhi. Most of the 3,000 Harleys sold in India last year avoided the tariffs.
Beyond motorcycles, India has angered American medical device makers with price caps on items such as cardiac stents and knee implants. New policies restricting Visa, Mastercard and American Express also kicked in last year, and Walmart and Amazon have been upset about the new e-commerce policies recently imposed in India.
The United States and India engaged in $126.2 billion worth of trade in 2017, according to United States trade representative, with the United States running a goods and services deficit of $27.3 billion. About $5 billion of Indian exports to the United States were eligible for reduced tariffs under the Generalized System of Preferences program, or G.S.P. According to India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the program has allowed for $190 million per year in duty reduction.
"It's survivable, but painful nonetheless," said Richard Rossow, an expert in United States-India relations at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Mr. Rossow noted that the tariffs could be enough to encourage American importers to buy some products from Mexico or Vietnam instead of India. The program covered imports of items such as automobile parts, agricultural products, jewelry and handicrafts.
For its part, India has been upset by the steel and aluminum tariffs that the United States imposed last year as well as restrictions on H-1B visas for foreign workers and spouses of H-1B visa holders.
The Trump administration initiated a review of India's preferential trade status in 2018, and in recent months there have been increasing signs that negotiations were going poorly. Last year, Robert Lighthizer, the United States trade representative, was expected to travel to India but ended up not going. In February Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, backed out of a planned trip and blamed bad weather.
Mr. Lighthizer's office said this week that, despite "intensive engagement," India had failed to take the necessary steps to keep its tariff exemptions. The United States has been particularly concerned about market access for dairy and medical devices.
"India has implemented a wide array of trade barriers that create serious negative effects on United States commerce," the agency said in a statement.
India pushed back against such accusations on Tuesday, arguing that it was willing to work with the United States but that some of the demands were unreasonable.
"India was able to offer a very meaningful way forward on almost all the U.S. requests," the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement. "In a few instances, specific U.S. requests were not found reasonable and doable at this time by the departments concerned, in light of public welfare concerns reflective of India's developing country status and its national interest."
The change to India's trade status will take place in 60 days. Lawmakers and business groups expressed hope on Tuesday that a deal could still be worked out.
"The Indian government hasn't engaged enough to address market access issues," said Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "For the sake of the many Americans and Indians who relied on G.S.P. benefits, I hope that India will work to quickly address these legitimate concerns."

NGO Says Budgetary Expenditures for Gov't PR Increased
In 2012-2017, the government spent 50.4 million GEL on the salaries of PR employees, of which 49.75 million was spent in 2013-2017 after the Georgian Dream (GD) came into power.
The information was released by the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Transparency International (TI) Georgia, which said that their survey is based on data sent from 121 state agencies.
In total, the request for information was sent to 133 public agencies; however, according to the organization, 12 government agencies, including the Georgian government's administration, the Revenue Service and the Justice Ministry, did not provide them with the information.
According to the survey, the number of people employed in the press agencies of public institutions and their salaries have sharply increased since the Georgian Dream government came into power as a result of the 2012 parliamentary elections.
The report reads that in 2012, state agencies paid 6.4 million GEL to PR specialists, while in 2013 the budgetary expenditures amounted to GEL 7 million and in 2014 - 9 million GEL.
In 2015, the government paid 10 million GEL for PR services while in 2016, 12.4 million GEL was spent from the budget on press services, almost twice the amount of salaries paid in 2012.
However, last year, expenditure was reduced to 9 million GEL, though it should be noted that the 2017 statistics do not contain the data of November and December.
According to the official data, from year to year, the government increases the number of people working in the PR services of various governmental agencies. Where 423 people were employed in 2012, in 2016 this number increased to 690, and in 2017 it was reduced to 643.
Among the ministries, the Interior Ministry spent the most budgetary money on PR, setting a record in 2016 by spending 1,343.887 GEL on the Public Relations Department. The Interior Ministry is followed by the Defense Ministry with outgoings of 848,470 GEL, and Ministry of Health, which in 2016 spent 907,565 GEL on PR.
Salome Tsetskhladze, TI Georgia representative, stated that in 2013-2017, the Interior Ministry spent 5.3 million GEL followed by the Ministry of Defense - 3.8 million GEL and Health Ministry -3.6 million GEL.
"Moreover, compared to 2012, in 2016 the number of PR employees in state agencies grew by 63% and the expenditures by 94%," she added.
Mamuka Andghuladze, Program Manager of TI Georgia, notes that the government's administration did not provide data on expenditures during 2013-2017.
He added if they are again denied the information, they will apply to court.
"In comparison to 2012, the peak was 2016, in terms of salaries and the number of employees. We suppose this is related to the parliamentary elections held in 2016," he said.

DAGy is made up of a directed acyclic graph plus one additional directed edge. With this additional edge a cycle forms that goes through every vertex in the graph.
The first quote claims that there is "one additional edge" that forms a cycle and if that edge didn't exist there wouldn't be a cycle. The second quote doesn't exactly say anything about additional edge resulting in a cycle, however does it mean so?It is guaranteed that each input graph is a directed acyclic graph with one additional edge between two distinct vertices of graph.
DAGy can be put back in order if you find the maximal cycle that goes through every vertex.
This is the most confusing part to me, as it seems to me that in the second input there should be solution. Obviously the maximal cycle in the graph will have infinite number of edges. Consider a cycle that goes 0 - 1 - 2 - 0 - 3 - 2 - 0. Is it the maximal? No. So it makes me think by the maximal cycle problem setter means the cycle that goes through each edge only once, and "the" must be indicating that there must be only 1 such cycle. Hence, the solution to this problem is very simple - just check that all in-degrees and out-degrees are equal to one. Problem with that is that it seems too easy, and my solution gives WA. Note that there shouldn't not be more than one connected component in the graph, as it would result in non DAG and would contradict to the second quote.4 5

Have you thought of including ripping for hi-res DVD audio tracks?
I would be keen to see that from you rather than others.
Have you thought of including ripping for hi-res DVD audio tracks?
I would be keen to see that from you rather than others.
It is being considered, but not in the short term.
I too would be very keen on this - would pay extra for this facility - and for the Linn DS users many will have DVD-Audio disks (bought at considerable cost) that really bring the best out in the audio.
A large number of your users I suspect use the software for convenience, security etc. but there will be some like me; I have one motive only - and that is to get the very best quality from the music collection - and if going digital playback is more convenient, then that is a bonus.
The very best digital playback systems are demonstrably superior to CD playback - and the studio masters at 24bit/96k are breathtakingly good. Just like vinyl without all the problems!
Well, there's a thread that discusses DVD ripping, and the feeling is that it would be considered illegal, at least in some places. The DMCA has a provision about circumventing copy protection. Many DVD-Audio discs are also encrypted, so if he can't implement ripping of DVD video (even if it's just the audio portions), I don't see how DVD-Audio would be okay.
It would be nice though. :smile2:
There are a number of products that claim to rip dvd-audio although I have not yet tried any. As they can be easily copied (unlike the spiteful SACD format) surely they can be ripped?
I don't get the "illegal" bit. If I own a number of disks - which I do - what is illegal about me extracting the music in order to play it in another format? It is hardly my fault that dvd-Audio did not take off and the only way to enjoy these expensive recordings in the long term is to play them on a digital streamer.
For the very first time since the launch of CD in 1983, there is an opportunity of higher quality sound being made available. I am tired of having to go back to vinyl to hear things missing from the red book CDs and the 24bit depth seems a good step forward.
Holding these in FLAC is the most obvious means of ensuring long term enjoyment and any organisation that makes this difficult should be challenged.
For too long, music lovers have been dragged down formats which have proved short lived. In the 80s recording sound onto VHS was remarkably good. Problem is that the tapes deteriorated and now you can hardly buy a recorder. I have hundreds of irreplacable live radio recordings, all of which have deteriorated. 8mm came in for a while and was brilliant. Becasue the tracks were stored in parallel, it was not necessary to rewind or fast forward the whole tape to find tracks. Then the manufacturers stopped making recorders which handled audio format and yet more hundreds of hours of recordings are now useless.
CD will slowly go the same way. Linn has announced ceasing production. 5 years time I predict it will be hard to get any decent CD player and when broadband speeds increase, downloading will be the defacto means of obtaining music (if it isn't already).
So we need Digital lossless - FLAC seems a good choice - and we should be able to get all our legally purchased music extracted. Or am I missing something?

Dabota Lawson Set to Launch Her Own Retail Stores in Lagos
Dabota Lawson has announced her biggest business move yet.
Yesterday, the former beauty queen took to her Instagram to reveal that she is set to launch her first ever mall in the highbrow area of Lagos – a dream she still can't believe has become a reality.
"I'm almost done can't wait for it to be finished . Admiralty way, Lekki 1 …. from my bed room, to a small kiosk to owning the damn mall," said the excited mum of one, adding, "God is good."
This heartwarming announcement comes just a week after the ex beauty queen took to her social media to reveal her struggles after she made the bold move of filing to dissolve her marriage to the billionaire businessman, Sunny Aku.
Dabota Lawson filed for divorce in February 2016 on grounds that Aku was still legally married to his first wife. However, rumours alleged that she suffered domestic abuse and had fled in fear for her own life.
It has been more than a year since that separation, and the former queen keeps waxing stronger. Speaking on her SnapChat last week, she said her ex-husband had expected her to come back to him, grovelling.
"I remember when he told his friends 'Don't worry she only has X amount in her account, she'll soon go broke and come back begging'. Some believed and started telling me to go and beg now before it's too late," the mum of one daughter said in the emotional rant.
"God has compensated me," she added. "He wiped my tears and answered my prayers. Now I have the most wonderful man by my side and the most beautiful daughter."
Now, Dabota Lawson is gearing to launch her own Lagos mall in the highbrow part of the city, and she has shared the first clip of the place.

The scheme, called Vinvolved, is being run by the youth volunteering charity V.
V is investing the money over three years and hopes it will have a positive effect on more than half a million young people.
Vinvolved aims to change the image of volunteering and hopes to make it a "must-have" part of youngsters' lives. It is hoped the scheme will make volunteering an attractive option for 16 to 25-year-olds.
V chief executive Terry Ryall said: "This is a programme for youth action and engagement that has been driven by young people's desire to get positively involved in their communities.
"Vinvolved will literally change the face of volunteering in England and safeguard its future by giving a new generation of young people opportunities to put their passions into action to meet real community needs."
The scheme begins in April next year.
It will create a network of projects focused on engaging youngsters' involvement, including youth action teams and national awards to recognise young volunteers' achievements. The programme will also support up to 6,000 grassroots organisations in the voluntary sector.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "I welcome the Vinvolved programme, which is providing a national framework to ensure there are volunteering opportunities in every local area."
Ed Miliband, minister for the Cabinet Office and responsible for volunteering, said: "Today marks an important step forward as V awards funding to a host of diverse projects and organisations, and takes us ever closer to our aim of a million more young people volunteering in Britain."


text: Coming in On the Storm--Moving to Austin in Bad Weather11/11/2018By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group In an ideal realm, moving day is going to be a balmy 72 degrees along with a small breeze and low humidity. The birds will sing, and also the chipmunks will help with small cartons. But, in the real world, specifically as summer winds down and the weather becomes a a bit more irascible, you should be ready for bad weather conditions that could dampen moving day. For starters, a note about hurricanes. A hurricane can be described as humongous thunderstorm, with strong winds and lightning possibilities. At the moment, there are a few churnings through the waters in the southern United States which vary from minor annoyances to cataclysmic and may effect a fair amount of the country. If your move is booked for a time or location that coincides with the chance of a tropical storm or hurricane, delay it. A professional moving company will not chance their crews and equipment, but in the case you are the do-it-yourself kind merely reschedule. Forecasting these days is sophisticated enough that you're cognizant of imminent storms weeks out, so prepare properly. Here is how to manage your move to Austin during terrible winter weather conditions. Prepare Your Houses First, be sure that your houses are set. The power and water needs to be on at your new residence, so you can get yourself prepared for the move-in if your new house is in the path of the weather. Ask your real estate professional to confirm that there is a water faucet on somewhere to prevent the plumbing from freezing, and that also the thermostat is set to at least 55 degrees--nobody wants to arrive home to a broken pipe. If you're moving long distance, employ someone to clear the driveway and also salt the walkways to get inside the house safely. For a nearby move in Austin, send a teen or your regular snow removal source over to perform the clearing after your old home is done. Protect the entry with old blankets or towels to keep the slipperiness of tile or wood floors to a minimum not to mention reduce dirt, salt, and snow tracking in your house. Professional movers in Austin know how to pack and prepare your possessions in order that they will not be damaged in lousy weather. You should expect to see a lot of moving blankets and plastic wrap. A number of sensitive things--art, china, or electronics--are vulnerable to temperature, so if you have packed these items yourself request the movers to verify that those items are adequately insulated from the cold weather. Ask the movers to ensure that there are no dripping spots in the moving truck--it's a tiny possibility but one that everybody wants to avert. Prepare Yourself It's going to be a challenging, and admittedly, a miserable day should you be moving in the rain or snow. Get out your camping gear--waterproof boots, tarps, extra socks, ponchos, and rain jackets--or your winter stuff--ski pants, gloves, hats, and hand warmers--and get some dry apparel on hand for the drive. It is important that you layer--as you start moving you'll get heated and you do not want to get too hot. Prepare Your Cars If you are driving to the new home, have your vehicles serviced prior to moving day. A whole tank of fuel is a given, but have your mechanic to take a look at the tires and beneath the hood before you go. Of course, you've got AAA, but do not think you're going to be the sole driver in distress on that day. Arrange an additional path to your new residence--if secondary streets are the most effective choice on a clear and dry day, the same won't always be true in a winter storm. Stick to primary roads--interstates and primary highways--since you can be sure those will likely be cleared and salted regularly to prevent ice buildup. Prepare to Stop The most important thing to get ready for is the possibility that your move to Austin could stop midway-if circumstances deteriorate until it's not safe to drive. You should make hotel reservations for a night or two at home as well as in route once you get the awful forecast (remember to incorporate your domestic pets); it is easy to cancel if you need to. There are lots of clear benefits of hiring a professional moving company, but it is the intangibles which matter most. When you use seasoned pros, they are able to guide your move to Austin through undesirable weather conditions with knowledge and care. Request a free quote

AB Hotels' Sopwell House in Hertfordshire has begun a refurbishment of the kitchen for its Brasserie restaurant.
The hotel, owned by the Bejerano family, has called in KCCJ to provide a full turnkey, covering all aspects of the project from initial designs to handover.
Work will include strip out, new constructions to create an infrastructure for the new kitchen, electrical and mechanical services, supply delivery and installation of the food service fabricated items and equipment, ventilation extract and modifications to the cold room.
The Brasserie is the more informal dining room at the Pride of Britain property, serving an all-day buffet and A La Carte British and Mediterranean menu in the evenings.
KCCJ was the company appointed by Sopwell House in 2016, for the overhaul of the hotel's kitchen for the two AA Rosette restaurant.
The brief was to design a new kitchen for the restaurant that met the hotel's operational requirement, and then develop the design to include a new infrastructure.
The company designed dedicated areas for prep, pastry, cooking and wash-up for longevity and sustainability was also a key requirement.
Energy efficient induction units, planchas and multi-function cooking appliances were installed and other improvements included a new ventilation system with modified fans for both extract and make-up air, new coldrooms, refrigeration, blast chillers, combi ovens and cooking equipment from leading manufacturers such as Valentine, Lincat, Falcon and Frima.
Sopwell House is a four-star hotel St Albans, part of AB Hotels, which includes The Arch in London. The hotel is run by the Bejerano family, headed up by brothers Rafi and Alon, and was first opened in 1986 by their father Abraham.
The property is home to 128 bedrooms and suites including 16 individually designed Mews Suites.
There is also a 2 AA rosette restaurant, brasserie, conservatory bar, cocktail lounge, 14 conference rooms for social and corporate events.
News emerged earlier this year of plans for a new £12m spa to be unveiled at the property next year.

The Day Jaws Met His Match
August 5, 2014
The Cold Blooded News
Sharks and crocodiles are predators in their own right, but who would win a fight if the two creatures came up against each other?
The answer is a crocodile – at least if this photo is anything to go by.
Andrew Paice, 43, managed to capture the moment this 5.5 metre crocodile named Brutus latched onto a bull shark in the Northern Territory before it swam off into the mangroves to devour its prey.
See original story here.
Reminds me of B-movie Epic "Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus", where a Kaiju-sized megalodon squares off against and equally enormous prehistoric crocodile.

The Summer 2015 issue of Trinity magazine hits on a question posed to many liberal arts colleges: with a hard focus on vocations, jobs, and training in many schools across the nation, how will the liberal arts survive? Under the leadership of a new president, Trinity is poised not only to survive, but to thrive—examining closely the vision statement of the Trinity Tomorrow strategic plan: Trinity will redefine education for the 21st century.
Making the Cover: Watch as our photographers and illustrators paint the University's story in Trinity's "Making the Cover" feature.
Over the last few months, I've found myself increasingly having to defend my choice of a liberal arts education; the criticism, of course, is not limited to Trinity. The New York Times' "The Decline and Fall of the English Major" notes that while humanities courses teach students how to write, they don't satisfy a narrowing vocational emphasis placed on college majors. Even Forbes published a study claiming that rather than earning a liberal arts degree, it may be better to earn no degree at all.
All the while, articles such as "We don't need more STEM majors, we need more STEM majors with liberal arts training" from The Washington Post and "Thinking outside the box: Our tech-driven future needs the skills of liberal arts graduates" from U.S. News & World Report have been steadily filling my inbox.
Is higher education a tool to equip people for their vocational roles in an ever-changing economy? Or is it an outlet to discover creativity, grow as a leader and a follower, and become well-rounded citizens of a global and interconnected world?
I am a Trinity graduate, so I would argue the latter. But how?
Yet these articles, while encouraging and eloquent, don't personalize the liberal arts and sciences educational experience. They certainly don't speak to Trinity's "flavor" of the liberal arts—mixing humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and fine arts with business, engineering, education, and entrepreneurship.
So Trinity magazine set out to do just that. Reader, I hope you take the stories in this issue to heart, combine them with stories of your own, weave in the powerful, poignant words of our new president and our incredible faculty, and use them the next time you're asked why you chose a liberal arts path—maybe even why you hope your children will choose one as well.
Speaking of our incredible faculty, this issue holds Trinity magazine's last "Faculty & Staff Spotlight," but these honors will soon find another home. In an effort to more prominently emphasize the achievements of Trinity's faculty and staff, the University will be releasing its inaugural issue of IMPACT: Scholarship, Creativity, and Community Engagement at Trinity University in September 2016.
As we applaud the efforts of those who taught, mentored, and supported us, we must always remember: we are Tigers at heart. We are educators and entrepreneurs, scientists and business people, innovators and scholars. We have been, and truly remain to be, a university of the highest order.

On page 8 of the current issue, Mario Gonzalez-Fuentes is listed as a finance and decision sciences professor. Gonzalez-Fuentes is a marketing professor in the Department of Business Administration.

Matt McQuinn's mother breathed a sigh of relief and sobbed after a jury found Colorado theater shooter James Holmes guilty of murder on Thursday, rejecting claims that insanity drove him to kill 12 moviegoers, including her son, and wound dozens of others.
"We got the conviction and now in a way justice has been served for my son," said Jerri Jackson of Springfield.
McQuinn, a Springfield native and Vandalia-Butler High School graduate, was killed in 2012 while watching a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" with his girlfriend, Samantha Yowler, and her brother, Nick, when Holmes came into the theater and opened fire.
They were sitting in the first row of the second section in the theater, Jackson has said.
The two first thought it was a prank when Holmes, wearing a mask similar to the Joker character in the Batman film, rolled a gas canister into the theater.
McQuinn was shot shortly afterward. He shielded Yowler, a St. Paris native, from gunfire, Jackson has said. Yowler was hit once in the leg and McQuinn was shot nine times, according to police.
The Jacksons were surrounded by friends and family members Thursday who wore T-shirts that called McQuinn a hero.
"He made his momma proud," Jerri Jackson said. "I've heard that in death there is a defining moment. And he thought of his loved one and he thought about protecting her before he thought about protecting himself. It makes my heart smile that that's what he did."
Since the shooting, Jackson and her husband, David, have been placed on disability because of post traumatic stress disorder.
Jerri Jackson cries "way too much."
Their lives, as well as the families of the other victims, will never be the same, David Jackson said.
"Maybe now we can start healing. There's a lot of people that need to heal and I think today's the first day of healing," David Jackson said.
But Jerri Jackson said hearing details of the massacre reopened wounds and caused her to relive the night she was awakened by a 4 a.m. phone call and learned her son had been murdered.
"Some days it seems like it was just yesterday and sometimes it seems like it was 20 years ago. To me I think that getting the verdict now, I think it's going to make (the anniversary of the shooting on) Monday better. Not that anything is going to take away the loss of Matt. (But) knowing that his killer is going to be punished, I think it will make Monday not as bad," Jackson said.
The planning Holmes put into the mass shooting likely sealed his fate, the Jacksons said.
They said they learned he brought bandages and took painkillers prior to leaving his apartment to dull the pain in the event he was shot in the melee. He also brought equipment to throw out of his car to flatten tires in case of a police pursuit.
"I knew that this was going to be the outcome because of all the planning he did, all the prevention he took to keep from getting hurt. There was no way they could say he did not know right from wrong," David Jackson said. "When they went into deliberations, she told me it could take a couple months, I said it shouldn't take two minutes. He planned so much and made so many preparations for if he got hurt or how to get away, there was just no way it could come out any other way."
The family is planning to travel to Colorado to give a victim impact statement and confront their son's killer during the sentencing phase. The jury must decide whether 27-year-old Holmes should be sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty.
Both agree they will be pleased as long as he will never "walks the streets." David Jackson said he leans toward wanting Holmes to be sentenced to life in prison.
"I would want the rest of his days to be the worst that he could imagine. I want it to be hell on Earth. And I think if he gets prison, then I think that's what it will be. I think he will pay for his crime everyday … Not an easy out with a quick death sentence. I think he deserves to suffer with what he did to people," David Jackson said.
Matt was as unpredictable and a caring person. "He would do things to co-workers to brighten their day. He was just a caring person and whatever he could do for somebody else he did," his mother said.
