This weeks AIPAC policy Conference is the largest ever- with over 18,000 in attendance.  Jews and their diverse allies from all over the country have gathered in Washington DC in solidarity and support of a strong relationship between the US and Israel.

Jewish Voice for Peace. Aiding and Abetting Anti-Semites. Again.
The 2015 AIPAC Policy conference was the largest ever, with over 16,000 supporters of strong bonds between Israel and America attending.  Of those, 3,000 were college students, ground zero in the campaign against Israel.  A variety of fringe groups protested the event. Jewish Voice for Peace proudly stood shoulder to shoulder with notoriously anti-Semitic groups in its protest of the conference. The group was silent as a Hezbollah terror flag was unfurled at their protest.  Later that week, the same groups joined forces to protest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to Congress
In an email, Hatem Bazians' American Muslims for Palestine boasted of the alliance, which also included such fringe groups as the Neturai Karta and Code Pink
In Algemeiner, Yizthak Santis asks  "Why is a self-styled “Jewish organization” collaborating with rabid anti-Israel campaigners, including antisemites?", chronicling how Jewish Voice for Peace's partnership with groups that use anti-Semitic rhetoric belie its claims  that “as Jews, we have no tolerance for antisemitism”
With such partners, it should come as no surprise that JVP endorses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. This is consistent with JVP activities such as attempting to block ZIM cargo ships from unloading in Tampa and in Los Angeles, participating in the Free Gaza flotillas, and raising funds for the anti-Zionist International Solidarity Movement.
Why does JVP associate itself with such radical, hateful organizations? Perhaps it is because they share the same goal: Israel’s demise. To this end, JVP advances a one-sided anti-Israel narrative, refers to Israel as an “apartheid” state, and lobbies to distance the United States from Israel. JVP views itself as the “Jewish wing of the Palestinian Solidarity movement” and is an integral part of this anti-Israel coalition, serving as its “Jewish shield,” washing away the moral stain of antisemitism from their partners’ records.
Given JVP’s emphatic statement that “as Jews, we have no tolerance for antisemitism,” the organization should be the first to speak out against its allies’ antisemitic rhetoric. Yet JVP remains silent, showing it has a blind spot when anti-Jewish hate emanates from its anti-Israel comrades. This willingness to consort with antisemites hiding behind an anti-Zionist façade says much more about JVP’s character than Israel, the sole target of its vitriolic and obsessive criticism.

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP)had a diiferent strategy.  JVP has bought ad space in the Washington metro, and issued press releases. This was printed in the Palestinian News and Info Agency website ( http://english.wafa.ps/index.php?action=detail&id=21796) ,  WAFA being on the rather short list of media that might take JVP's claims seriously.
American Jewish groups will unveil on Sunday 100 billboard ads in the Washington Metro that say: “AIPAC Does Not Speak for Me,” according to a statement by the groups, Jewish Voice for Peace and Avaaz. The ads, it said, highlight “the gap between AIPAC’s (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee), peace-killing policy positions and most Jewish Americans.”
The ad campaign coincides with the annual AIPAC policy conference and “is designed to challenge the lobbying group’s influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East,” said the statement.

"Thank you for the warm reception. It could be heard as far away as Jerusalem – the eternal and united capital of Israel.
I'd like to talk to you about a subject no one has been talking about recently….Iran.
A nuclear-armed Iran could choke off the world’s oil supply and make real its threat to close the Straits of Hormouz. If you're worried about the price of oil today, imagine how high oil prices will be when a nuclear-armed Iran starts blackmailing the world.
In my desk, I have copies of an exchange of letters between the World Jewish Congress and the US War Department. The year was 1944. The World Jewish Congress implored the American government to bomb Auschwitz. The reply came five days later. I want to read it to you.
The Jewish people are also different. Today we have a state of our own. The purpose of the Jewish state is to secure the Jewish future. That is why Israel must always have the ability to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.
In every generation, there are those who wish to destroy the Jewish people. We are blessed to live in an age when there is a Jewish state capable of defending the Jewish people. And we are doubly blessed to have so many friends like you, Jews and non-Jews alike, who love the State of Israel and support its right to defend itself.

Now, AIPAC does not consult me about these things, so I don't know why his press credentials were either granted or revoked.  However, I would like to note that JVP, which produces MuzzleWatch, and of which Plitnick is a former co-director, did not protest or comment when, a month ago, the National BDS Conference at the University of Pennsylvania*, which JVP officially endorsed, revoked the press credentials of one local Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Exponent, and refused press access outright to the Philadelphia Jewish Voice.

One of our members was told directly, twice, on Monday night, that she 'was the 1%'. This was patently not true; she is, in fact, a kindergarten teacher at a public school, which is not traditionally a profession of the rich and influential. But in the minds of the anti-AIPAC protesters, she had given up her place in the economic rank-and-file of the country by daring to cross them over Israel.
It's a bad bargain. Regardless of feelings about AIPAC, no Jew should accept it.

There are a couple of ways to handle this. One is to attempt to persuade the Occupy Movement that protesting the existence of Israel is, in fact, something that should be a priority. Hence, the (tabled) attempt to convince the General Assembly of Occupy Oakland to protest at last night's AIPAC conference. Despite plaintive claims about AIPAC, Occupy declined to follow Code Pink and Students for Justice in Palestine out to the Hilton, and their rally drew fewer than fifty people. They did their best to link their hate to the memes of the Occupy Movement, carrying signs insisting that "AIPAC is the 1%", and falsely accusing AIPAC of forcing the US into Iraq, but it seems that the actual Occupiers weren't interested, staying away in droves.
The year 2011 has seen an amazing resurgence of grassroots resistance here and around the world. In January and February we saw the popular uprisings that brought down the U.S.-backed regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.

Stand with us. Stand for Peace. Stand with Israel: Action Alert Oakland Dec 13
This evening, the AIPAC dinner in San Jose was sold out. Hundreds of participants attended, with only three, count them three protesters outside (Yes, you guessed it, Donna and Darlene Wallach and one other troll)
Action Alert follows: Please forward widely
As we have done in previous years, Stand WithUs/SF Voice For Israel will be there to be sure the pro-Israel voice is publicly represented.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Because of the possibility, at any public event, of violent behavior by those opposed to the very existence of Israel-- please do not engage the anti-Israel demonstrators and please DO follow any instructions of the Oakland police on the scene. We will be working with the Oakland Police Department to try to keep the anti-Israel groups well away from the entrance to the hotel. We recommend that if you will travel on BART, do not wear hats or clothing that identifies you as an Israel supporter, and do not bring your own signs or flags-- we will have plenty available at the scene.


As I'm a little bit obsessed with Torchwood at the moment, I thought I'd do another mini-guide, akin to my recent 'Being Human' one, on Doctor Who's rebellious older brother spin-off show...
The dependable Ianto Jones is the man who keeps the team running. No one knows more about Torchwood than Ianto.
Toshiko Sato was Torchwood Three's tech expert and all-round genius. Never comfortable with her emotions, Tosh had a long-running love for Owen which he never reciprocated and she was repeatedly heart-broken when he would have affairs with other female team members (e.g. Gwen) but never herself.
For more information on Tosh click here.
And finally, for anyone who was interested by this concise guide to Torchwood and wants to catch the show on television or if you're already a Torchwood fan (or 'Woodie' as John Barrowman calls 'em), Torchwood: Miracle Day, the fourth series, airs this July. See you there!

Jenny Knight settled down in a large armchair to listen to Alexander Wolf – her best friend, the brilliant young detective, relate the mystery of the Waxwork Woman. She was joined by the portly figure of Detective Inspector Wells, the inhabitant of the room’s other armchair and Wolf’s closest ally in the Police, his two constables, perching awkwardly on wooden stools, and Mr Finch, the owner of the office they were in and of the hotel at the centre of this mystery. They were all watching silently as Wolf began his tale.
Wolf continued nonchalantly. “After hearing this, Jenny and I investigated Lee’s locker and found some plasticine and this.” He showed them a small scrap of red fabric, his eyes gleaming at it as if it was a piece of invaluable treasure. “This was all I needed to close the case.” His audience stared at him incredulously.
“Ssh, please. Okay, so we have two questions to answer; how and why our friend here killed Emerald Stone.

Is cacao dangerous or is it a super food? Anyone who's been learning about raw foods knows about raw cacao (check out a recent episode of Know Your Food: Cacao). It's raw chocolate without all the processing and additives normally included in the chocolate bars many buy from standard grocery stores. In its raw form, cacao has different nutritional components than typical processed chocolate. Many claim that raw chocolate is filled with mega doses of nutrients, making it a super food, and therefore extremely healthy for the human body. Others claim that even in its raw state, cacao is a stimulant that taxes the human body and cacao is more like a poison than a food. I've heard murmurs about negative effects of cacao for many years, but that was always subdued by the vociferous praise of cacao.

The 292 kilometre pipeline was first announced in July last year, as part of a gas network designed to connect mines in the region to the existing Goldfields Gas pipeline via a lateral pipeline at the Murrin Murrin nickel mine, which will eventually extend past Anglo Gold's Sunrise Dam mine and onwards to the Tropicana mine.
"Gas power generation is expected to reduce cash operating costs at both sites by between $25 to $30 per ounce," AngloGold senior vice president Australia, Michael Erickson,said.
According to pipe construction firm APA managing director Mick McCormack "the Eastern Goldfields Pipeline can be further extens [with AngloGold Ashanti]".
WA DMP lead agency project co-ordinator Graham Cobby labelled this pipeline as a, which will provide a number of economic benefits and future energy supply to the remote region.
"The new EGGP will deliver gas from offshore fields off Western Australia's Pilbara coast to the two mines for local power generation, which will reduce the reliance on diesel fuel and LNG transported by road," he said.
"Access to anatural gas can provide is vital to these companies ensuring their mining operations have long-term viability. This is a great response to changing gas supply and demand patterns right across the country."
Engineering, design, and procurement work for the high pressure pipeline has already begun, with first gas delivery slated for January next year.
"Construction work for associated infrastructure and facilities soon be under way, and it is anticipated the project will provide some 300 jobs during the construction phase," Cobby said.
The third shipment of this piping, built in China, arrived in Kalgoorlie last week.
Last year Fortescue o slash its overheads.
The agreement will see the construction of a 270 km long Fortescue River Gas Pipeline to deliver gas from te to Fortescue Metals Group's 125MW Solomon Hub power station.

- How many insurance companies are available in Florida?
- Driving Safely in Florida
Having car insurance coverage is both responsible and a legal requirement throughout the countrycoverage amount and type should you purchase? What are the legal requirements you must meet in Florida shop for insurance. To help you out, we’ve done the research for you, and in the following sections, we’ll cover this
To get started, we’ll assess price (which is probably a primary consideration for you as you shop around). When we look at price, there are a number of things to discuss, including what factors companies include as they adjust your rates, what you can do to keep your rates lower, and more.
As a first look, we’ve listed the average rate for all types of car insurance coverage in Florida, as compared to the national average for the same.
As you can see, Floridians pay about 18 percent more for car insurance coverage than the national average, which, while expensive, is not nearly as high as states like West Virginia (whose average rates are over 70 percent higher than the national average).
What is Florida’s car culture?
Other than the rains the state can face during hurricane season, weather in Florida is relatively mild. Drivers will likely never find themselves on ice or snow-covered roads. At most, they’ll be rain-slicked. As a result, a number of the vehicle and driving considerations residents of many other states must consider when purchasing or modifying vehicles are not a factor for Floridians.
This may be one reason the “Donk” car got its start in Miami (though it has since spread across the country). This trend includes extra-large wheels and rims on large, older (typically models from the 1970s) American cars with custom paint-jobs.
To celebrate this style choice, Miami hosts an annual Donk Day Car Show, where anyone can experience the tradition or enter a vehicle themselves.
As the Donk cars demonstrate, Florida residents like to make a statement with their vehicles. For other residents of the state, this means driving luxury vehicles from companies like Jaguar, Bentley, and Ferrari.
Car racing is also a big piece of the car culture in Florida, with the Daytona 500 and other large (and heavily watched) car races calling the state home.
How much coverage is required for Florida minimum coverage?
By now, you know car insurance is legally required in the state. This means in order to drive in Florida legally, you must carry c coverage level in the state. But what does this mean exactly?
In the table below, we outline the minimum coverage requirements for drivers in Florida, as pWithout at least this coverage, you risk fines,  and more.
Knowing the minimum coverage requirements in Florida is important both because you’ll stay out of trouble by ensuring you have at least that coverage and because it can give you an idea of what other drivers are carrying (at a minimum) in the state.
This  in your policy (which we’ll discuss in a further section) and if so, how much and what kind.
It is interesting to note that unlike most states in the country, Florida does not require any kind of bodily injury coverage as a part of the minimum liability requirements. However, you can add it to your policy, should you choose to do so.
What are forms of financial responsibility Florida?
If you are stopped by law enforcement or find yourself party to a car accident, you’lindicates that you meet the legal requirements necessary to pay for damages.
In Florida, proof of financial responsibility comes in a few different forms:
- Proof of insurance coveraged in the state
- Certificate of self-insurance (which indicates a cash deposit of at least $30,000 with a certified financial institution)
- Certificate of self-insurance provide
Florida does allow drivers to provide an electronic insurance card as proof of insurance.
How much percentage of income are premiums in Florida?
Since you know that insurance is a requirement in Florida, budgeting for insurance coverage is necessary. But how much of your income will have to be dedicated to insurance premiums?
In this table, we’ve listed on car insurance in Florida, compared to the national average of the same.
As you can see, Floridians typically spend about 35 percent more of their income on car insurance than is average for drivers across the nation.
To provide further insight into thwe compare the state average to the average of the same in neighboring states in the table below.
Residents in Florida spend more, on average, of their disposable income on car insurance than all of their neighbors except Louisiana.
What are the core coverages in Florida?
Minimum liability coverage will keep you legal and ensure you avoid fines and license suspension, but it may not In general, minimum liability coverage only covers you and others involved in an accident up to the amount listed as required. In Florida’s case, this means you’ll only have coverage for $10,000 worth of property damage (for the other driver, not you) and $10,000 worth of personal injury protection. Any additional cost will be paid out of your own pocket.
For financial protection beyond the minimum coverage, which will include damages you experience, as well as injuries and other costs, you should consider adding core coverage to your policy.
To learn more about the core coverage options at your disposal, take a few minutes, and watch this video.
Now that you know what protection core coverage can provide, just how much will you have to pay if you choose to add one or more options to your policy?
In this table, we’ve listed average rates for the core coverage types in Florida.
When you look at thes, it’s important to remember they are an average based on Florida’s minimum coverage requirements, and may not reflect exactly what you’ll pay, based on your specific circumstances (we’ll discuss this in greater detail in later sections).
What additional liability is available in Florida?
If core coverage does not seem like it provides you with the financial protection you’re looking for, you can consider additional liability coverage. This coverage is typically added to policies to provide protection against situations that are not already included in core coverage.
An example of this is additional liability protectionWith 26.7 percent of drivers in Florida currently uninsured (making the state number one in the country for uninsured drivers), there is definitely a chance this can happen to you.
To ensure you have the protection you need, policy.
Another one of the primary forms of additional liability, personal injury protection (PIP), is already included as a requirement in the minimum coverage for Florida drivers.
PIP provides coverage for medical costs for everThe amount required as a part of the minimum liability coverage is quite low, however (recall it is $10,000), so you can add more PIP to your policy if you so choose.
Finally, the third form of additional liability coverage you can speak to your insurance agent about adding to your policy is MedPay, which provides additional coverage for medical costs for you and anyone listed on your policy.
However, when considering whether the additional expense of purchasing this coverage is worth it, you need to know whether what you’re paying is reasonable based on the overall number of premiums an insurance company receives.
One way to determine this is by using loss ratio numbers provided by the NAIC. The loss ratio specifies the percent of claims on which insurance companies pay out as compared to the total number of premiums written.
Take a look at this table to see the average loss ratio numbers for MedPay, PIP, anda for 2013 through 2015.
While numbers and data are always interesting, its important to understand what the data means, to be able to use it for making insurance policy decisions.
It is generally accepted that a good loss ratio number falls between 40 and 75 percent.
Anything below 40 percent means insurance companies are collecting more in premiums than is necessary based on the number of claims it

A review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act could be exactly what wildlife need, but the government’s current emphasis on creating “efficiencies for business” could make it even easier for industry to disturb and pollute nature where at-risk species need protections most. Right now (until March 4) you can tell government to help Ontario’s most vulnerable wildlife.
Already, Ontario is home to 243 species at risk of extinction. Already, routinely granted exemptions to the Act make it far too easy for development and industry to tear up and cut through critical habitat.
We must let the government know we want better protections for Ontario’s species at risk4. Click here to submit your comments now.
Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down further.
This review won’t help species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife while creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted (no exemptions).
We want protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario – we don’t want changes that will drive more species to extinction.

It’s been a few years since I had the opportunity to paint a digital image and I am so happy to finally be on the road with my latest project. This is the first time I have used the watercolor digital process, so I am thrilled with the results.
The watercolor digital technique is a digital painting technique that uses a digital paintbrush. This means that the painting process is fairly similar to the traditional oil painting process. You basically paint as you normally would- you start, you stop, you go back and finish. This is also the same process that is used to create photo prints.
In short, you paint in a controlled environment. You paint on a surface, you don’t paint on a surface and then paint on the surface. That will make the painting look a little different than the traditional oil painting process. The only real difference is that you can use watercolor paint on a digital surface. This allows for much more freedom with the color of your paint, and allows you to paint freehand.
One of the advantages of digital painting is that it is more forgiving and forgiving of imperfections. You can see all the imperfections that you see when you paint on a traditional surface. It just takes a little more time to correct them, and can make the entire painting look a bit more natural. But in my opinion, it is still a little more work to create a great painting on a digital surface.
The digital painting surface is also the same size as your traditional painting surface. So you can’t just paint a large area and then cut it up into smaller areas to paint over. You have to start by painting a large area and then working your way to smaller areas. I would say that this is not a bad thing either. I think it’s a part of creating a great digital painting surface.
The digital painting surface is very similar to the real world painting surface. In reality, watercolor can be very hard to photograph. The physical shape of the watercolor paper is very similar to the shape of the paper used to create your painting. So to capture a great watercolor look, you have to use a lot of light and focus the light on the paper. It can be very difficult to create a really great look on a digital surface.
A digital surface takes the same kind of lighting you would use in real life. You’re shooting with the paper rather than the camera. The light and focus on the paper is very similar to the way you might use real life colors on a real paper. This is why digital painting surfaces make it so natural to paint on them. The main difference is that you have to think a lot about where you’re aiming the light and how you’re focusing on the paper.
In addition to the physical differences between digital painting and traditional painting, the digital surface also has a lot of control. You can easily move the light around the surface, change the light source, and even control the depth of field. This is very helpful if you want to create a more realistic look. The digital surface, though, will take a little more practice and care to create a great visual image.
Digital painting is like a painting but without the brush. You can move the light around the surface, change the light source, and even control the depth of field. This is very helpful if you want to create a more realistic look. The digital surface, though, will take a little more practice and care to create a great visual image.
A digital surface is a painting done on a computer with a digital camera that is able to move and change the light source. The surface is created by a process called “digital painting” in which a computer creates a digital image of a physical surface. This surface is then moved in a computer controlled way, creating a “digital painting.

Frequency characteristics of eye movements during a cognitively demanding task
Tokuda, Satoru; Obinata, Goro; Palmer, Evan M.; Chaparro, Alex. 2012. . Psychophysiology, v.49 No.SI Suppl.1 p.S114
This study investigated the relation between cognitive load (CL) and eye movement frequency characteristics. Previously, eye gaze has been known to have more gaze deviation when the person is engaged in a cognitively demanding task. However, previous studies were diffi cult to generalize to other studies due to their original algorithm usage. The aim of this study is to present a generalizable method to quantify eye movements that are related to CL. CL was manipulated in 3 levels, Low, Medium, and High, using an auditory N-back task. Each participant performed a total of 12 one-minute trials. Eye movement data were recorded at 50 Hz, using Tobii 1750 eye tracker, in a time domain format, and then transformed into a frequency domain format usingdomain eye data were analyzed by the frequency window of 0.1 Hz. Each frequency window had 42 counts of eye movement data, representing 14 participants in 3 CL levels. The 42-count data were taken into a Spearman rank-order correlation analysis. We found a sequence of strong, positive correlation coeffi cients in a low frequency range of eye movements (0.3 Hz to 3.2 Hz), having an Rs average +0.63, ranging from Rs +0.51 to +0.82. By contrast, a higher frequency range (13.0 Hz to 25.0 Hz) had a lower correlation coeffi cient average +0.34. The result implies that a person's CL level may be estimated by observing the low frequency range of eye movements. This index can be generalized to other studies since this CL indicator used only FFT without any original complex algorithm. (Poster 4-83)

Posted on March 28, 2017March 29, 2017 by somdbail	B. Igor Cornelsen is a renowned Brazilian banker who is well informed on the country’s investment sector. He has been offering tips to people on the best ways that they can invest. The first pointer that Igor Cornelsen gives is that individuals should connect with the population to develop a network. It is important for people to develop healthy relationships for them to be successful. He advises the investors to meet as many people as possible at https://twitter.com/igorcornelsen. About a quarter of the adults in Brazil are entrepreneurs, and therefore,on social networks such as Facebook. Aninvestment banker’s third tip is that investors should have excellent knowledge of the policies that are involved in foreign exchange. Foreign exchange rates in the country are different, and they depend on the type of transaction. According to Brazilian laws, the exchange of currency can only be conducted by a bank that has been authorized to take part in the business. It is important for the investors to be updated on the exchange rates and the banks that offer the best services.

The company misses earnings, but posted higher than expected growth for the next quarter, and the stock pushes higher.
The company beat earnings quarter over quarter, but missed this quarter’s “expected” numbers, and sells off.
Or, the company made a mess of earnings, but perhaps didn’t miss expectations by much and trades higher on the idea that maybe the company isn’t losing as much as thought.
It’s enough to pull your hair out at times. After 20 years of trading catalysts like earnings, I’m shocked I still have hair left.
While trading earnings with options can be a risky bet, be safe if you trade it.


As Holy Land grocery attempts to mend relationship with community, former employees speak out — Sahan Journal
This report has been updated with a correction .
The fall through of Holy Land grocery shop and delicatessen promised to overhaul employee train, review management practices and become a community drawing card in the fight against racism to repair the damage caused by his daughter ’ s offensive social media posts .
former employees and the leader of a boycott campaign, however, say the problems at Holy Land go much deeper and are of a much longer duration than one person ’ south Twitter or Instagram comments. In interviews with Sahan Journal, they cited unfair wage practices and discriminatory treatment given to white or arab customers.
Reading: As Holy Land grocery attempts to mend relationship with community, former employees speak out — Sahan Journal
Iman Hassan, the boycott leader, said a Facebook mail Thursday in which Majdi Wadi, Holy Land founder and CEO, outlined the company ’ s plans was “ a truly effective start. ” But she added that she was frustrated he didn ’ t take any personal province for the problems, and said the boycott would remain in place to push for improvements in parturiency practices and the workplace environment .
On Facebook, Wadi said in the wake of the scandal caused by the social media posts made by his daughter, Lianne, several years ago, the company had instituted mandatary train to combat racism and hired an outside tauten to audit management practices. He said he has been meeting with community leaders and customers .
Wadi fired his daughter and erstwhile cater director June 4 after tweets from 2012 and an Instagram post from 2016 showed Lianne using racial blur. In reaction to the posts, eight markets removed Holy Land products from their shelves, a move that monetary value Holy Land an calculate $ 5 million, according to Wadi .
Four employees depart, and more than 30 others lost their jobs due to the blockage of the midtown placement and hummus factory, Wadi said in an consultation with Sahan Journal. The Northeast Minneapolis localization re-opened last week .
While he said that Holy Land had sympathized with movements for greater equality, “ We now know this is not adequate. We have underestimated the might of our articulation to spark change in the fight against racism in all forms, ” Wadi said .
“ We plan to take the contribute in the fight against racism and oppression, advancing our share goals of bringing community-wide heal, ” he said .
several former employees said Holy Land had a long way to go to reform its culture .
Mahad started working at Holy Land in 2013 and asked to be identified by her middle name since she presently works with members of the Wadi family .
Mahad, who is Somali, alleged she was paid less than her arab coworker who was hired around the same prison term as her and who once showed Mahad her paycheck .
“ Nobody spoke out about it because our jobs would be on the line, ” Mahad said .
If a white or arabian customer came to the memory, Mahad was encouraged to “ give them extra boodle, ” while customers of tinge, the majority of Holy Land ’ s clientele, weren ’ thyroxine treated adenine well .
According to Mahad, Lianne and her don would follow black customers to make sure they weren ’ triiodothyronine stealing. Comments from customers on social media echoed the same concern .
“ Every fourth dimension they would see a black family grocery denounce, [ Lianne ] would leave the cash register all the way on the other side, run and tail that black class good to see if they ’ ra stealth, ” Mahad said .
Hana Muse besides said she witnessed Lianne take after black customers when she worked there in 2015 .
“ There were a lot of Somali families that would come to that restaurant, ” Muse said. “ They were treated like crap. ”
muse said she once came to work with her hair braided, but her managers told her to “ take out your hair. ”
“ They were just thus harsh, ” Muse said. “ I thought that this was how every workplace environment was, until I quit Holy Land. ”
At the conclusion of the night, Muse said Lianne would watch over any black employee counting the cash drawer.
Asked about the complaints regarding pay, Wadi said Holy Land pays employees in accordance with the law and the current market rate for the position .
“ I can confirm that we have never paid anyone below the minimum wage, ” Wadi said in a argument to Sahan Journal .
Employees subjected to potential discrimination should notify a director or the human resources office, according to Holy Land ’ s employee handbook. human resources would then investigate the allegations and implement corrective action .
Wadi said to his cognition, no one has complained about any racist experiences in the by .
But Muse and Mahad both said the management perpetuated a “ contract it or leave it ” attitude towards complaints. Neither of them ever felt comfortable filing a charge about racism with a coach .
Hassan is a northeast Minneapolis community member heading a crusade to boycott Holy Land. Hassan quietly stopped shopping at Holy Land years ago, and until now had avoided speaking out about her family ’ mho experience as customers in order to protect an immigrant-run commercial enterprise .
“ We ’ rhenium actually frustrated with the things that were going on that we thought were a pattern, ” Hassan said .
As part of the campaign, Hassan helped compile a document listing the stories of about 60 people who experienced what they regarded as racism at Holy Land over the years. The stories, while disheartening, were not storm, Hassan said. She said she had heard staff use racially-charged terms in Arabic while she was shopping .
“ I, as a black Somali Muslim womanhood, walk into your store and I ’ molarity afraid to be called a slave in Arabic — that ’ s wilderness to think about, ” Hassan said .
After Wadi posted his apology on Facebook Thursday, Hassan said she would continue boycotting Holy Land until british labour party practices change .
“ Sometimes you merely have to hope to god that person in their affection actually means what they ’ ra saying and it isn ’ t fair a gambit to reestablish themselves in the community, ” Hassan said .
Sagirah Shahid, who worked at Holy Land 10 years ago, helped Hassan help conversations with employees. After the police kill of George Floyd, Shahid noticed more people coming forward with stories about racism at Holy Land .
“ It wasn ’ metric ton good owners, it was a culture. And this is why I think it ’ sulfur still going on, ” Shahid said. “ It ’ s a culture of maltreatment that they had from the circus tent toss off. That doesn ’ deoxythymidine monophosphate go away overnight. ”
Dennis Williamson, an academic dean at Prodeo Academy, who has organized protests against Holy Land has met with Wadi and came away convinced of his seriousness .
When he first saw Lianne ’ s social media posts, friends began reaching out to him with experiences of racism at Holy Land. Forty people gathered in the back park fortune of Holy Land June 6 .
“ I ’ ve not heard of a single thing that ’ second estimable about them except for their food products, ” Williamson said .
After the protest, Wadi set up a meeting withWilliamson and created better stamp .
“ I can tell authentically that Mr. Wadi decidedly cares about the community, ” Dennis said. “ All in all, it was identical positive. ”
Wadi told Williamson that he ’ s going to be bridging the break by supporting african American community events and charities .
“ Sympathizing with the cause is not enough anymore, ” Wadi said. “ Our main concern and chief focus is the needs of our brothers and sisters in the African-American community and in the african immigrant community. ”
Wadi said he ’ mho been asked to pledge $ 2 million to the total darkness community, but has not confirmed the amount he will pledge .
“ We have a class of action, a fiscal commitment and an accountability plan, ” Wadi said. “ In order for me to fulfill my commitment, I need to get my business back to where it was ahead. ”
correction : After the publication of this story, Holy Land provided Hana Muse ’ s pay up records. They showed that Hana was paid $ 8 per hour during train and $ 9 per hour after completion of the train. Hana told Sahan Journal that she believed she was paid about $ 7 an hour at Holy Land in 2015. We removed that information from the article. We besides removed some details regarding the requital of a former employee we identified as Mahad because we couldn ’ metric ton verify them. We regret the error .

YOUNG bodies lying dead in a school library; teenage killers setting off with bombs and booby-traps on an apparent suicide mission;s comb the area; student survivors either in tears, or trying to appear “cool”. Yet again, as the nation's television cameras abruptly switched their focus on April 20th from KosovoAmericans have been forced to view the barbaric side of their culture.
“Yet again” is a natural reaction. Many see this week's tragedy in a prosperous, middle-class suburb of Denver as part of a gruesome sequence. In October 1997 a 16-year-ol- 11 and 13-old, at a school dance in Edinbor--old opened fire at his high school, killing two teenagers and wounding more than 20 (police later found that his parents had been killed at home).
The basic facts, however, are becoming clear enough. The high-school killers were part of a small group styled “the Trench-Coat Mafia”.  Most of the students thought they were a joke. On April 20th—Hitler's birthday, coincidentally or not—they proved otherwise.
 In the context of America, perhaps so. But they come too late for the dead of Littleton, and for all the gun victims beforen nobody learns"


Salmond admitted after losing Glenrothes that he had failed to have his "finger on the political temperature" in the seat. He said today: "We can win, we don't have to demonstrate that …People know for the first time there is a chance of an SNP win. But I think it's a better position, on reflection, not to boast that we will win but just to say that we can win, if the people so choose."
He said: "Yes, we're the underdog in this campaign. It's our job to win over those people who perhaps have supported independence over the years but for whatever reason are stuck with the Labour party …if we can convey that message over the next four weeks then I'm not saying we will win, but we've got a very good chance."

HORSE RACING fans in Oxford win more bets than punters in any other UK location – with Redditch also in the top ten for knowledgeable enthusiasts.
The study from Paddy Power analysed the results of more than 130 million bets placed on horse races during the last year and found Oxford’s punters have the highest win rate of anyone in the country with 30 per cent.
With the bookie set to crown the first new millionaire of 2021 through its Millionaire Chase competition, other areas with ‘neigh’ bother of backing a winning horse include second-placed Wakefield (28 per cent) and third-placed Stockport (27.7 per cent).
Redditch is ninth in the list with 26.89 per cent, with the North Wales town of Wrexham the only non-English location to feature in the top ten.
Those in Birkenhead and Enfield might be hoping for a change of fortune if they are to start the new year off by pocketing £1m.
Punters from both areas currently have the lowest success rate when having a flutter on the horses with 20.1 per cent and 22.4 per cent respectively.
Despite having a racecourse right on their doorstep, the people of Epsom have also had a ‘mare’ when it comes to backing the right horse, with locals winning 22.9 per cent of the time.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: “This year has been a year to forget so, to help get 2021 off to a better start, we’ve created a competition to give one lucky punter £1m on New Year’s Day.
To enter the competition, you need to back the winning horse in one of the weekly Millionaire Chase qualifiers, with the remaining race being the 3.35pm at Ascot on December 19.

The day after the Monday shooting a few details began to emerge about the victim. Clarkson, a blond, six-foot-tall actress, had something of a cult following. She had appeared in several movies made by Roger Corman, the famed impresario of lurid, low-budget features; among her films were "The Haunting of Morella" and "Barbarian Queen," which Clarkson had called the template for the hit TV series "Xena: Warrior Princess."
She had small roles in "Scarface" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and many appearances in commercials and television shows from the racy "Silk Stalkings" on cable to NBC's "Knight Rider."
Spector was eligible for $1 million bail based on a California bail schedule that sets specific amounts for crimes such as murder. Only in cases of special circumstances, such as risk of flight, do police seek higher amounts.

Congratulations!Here's your diploma…and your loan re-payment schedule!
I went to college at NDSU (Go Bison!
I spent the first year out of school making minimum payments. The total per month was $410.75 which didn't affect me too much in the grand scheme of things, but when I sat down and totaled up what I owed, my jaw hit the floor!It would take forever to get out of debt at that rate!
After 15 months of sacrifice, I became debt free paying off over $37,000. Two weeks later, I married my best friend...

Last week’s rural budget plan announced that legislation is concerning promote possible changes to the program, which goes back to the 1998 abolition of business tenancy tax obligations charged straight to tenants. During that time, the rebates a 30 percent refund of the real estate tax on commercial devices uninhabited for 90 or even more days during the assigned yearly tax duration, and a 35 per cent refund for industrial jobs were considered as something of give-and-take for property owners’ increased real estate tax liability. Meanwhile, towns put on efficiencies from a drastically reduced variety of tax accounts. Now, community prompting is the typically acknowledged motivation for the Ontario government’s examination of the program. Real estate tax subdivisions for vacant/excess land are likewise under evaluation, although communities have actually consistently had the freedom to choose whether they will certainly conjure up these classes.
Nevertheless, real estate tax specialists say it’s needed to reduce the value swings that could happen over a four-year assessment cycle. On the other hand, vacancies are better factored into structure worth as well as real estate tax bills in provinces like British Columbia with yearly review. A four-year roll for Ontario is not practical. It should be a yearly roll or, at optimum, every two years, keeps David Gibson of Yeoman & Firm Paralegal Expert Company. The Ontario government’s current governing modification to the Land Transfer Tax Act likewise causes some wariness. Realty market proponents share dismay at the retroactive reinstatement of previously exempted tax obligation commitments for trusts and minimal collaborations, particularly since the choice was made without appointment. This time, REALpac is stating its stakeholder standing. We recognize that municipalities are trying to take a look at all kinds of revenue generating mechanisms, however these discussions need to accompany full assessment with the neighborhood as well as we wish to proceed that with the Province Barnett says.
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has introduced he will certainly not be signing any type ofs a nationwide carbon tax. Wall made the discuss Facebook, while revealing his displeasure that the Federal Setting Preacher simply declared there will certainly be a nationwide carbon rate, before the Premiers as well as Head of state even meet. In case you’re wondering, I will not be authorizing any kind of arrangement that consists of a nationwide carbon tax obligation he added. Wall created that with the power industry reeling as well as the Canadian economic situation having a hard time; it is merely not the moment for a brand-new nationwide tax. Head of state Justin Trudeau will meet with rurnal environment strategy. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna informed The Canadian Continue Friday that establishing a carbon cost is actually crucial. The majority of large energy business has an interior rate on carbon since they recognize this is visiting happen McKenna stated. </s> Item banks for substance us: Severity of use and positive appeal of use.

noses in their feedbags – right back to when Claridge's first threw its doors open to the public. The press boys were everywhere, and even then, on that very first night, before the till had even rung up once, I knew that we had just broken through rock and found a vein of gold. John Ceriale, a shy man when it comes to the public, was there to see the launch of his baby with a grin the size of the Brooklyn Bridge.
That is not to say that _Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's_ proceeded without a hitch. In the first year, we bottom-lined at _£_ 600,000. The second year was much the same. But in the third, we closed the year off at _£_ 1.65 million and then went on to reach close to _£_ 2 million in each successive year, and that must tell a tale.
The first year was hard. We were soon receiving, on average, sixteen letters of complaint a week, and something had to be done about it. The weekly operations meeting was born, which was no more than a meeting of the restaurant director, his managers, the head chef and his lieutenants, the head receptionist, the HQ heads of department from HR, training and private dining, and either Chris or myself to chair the meeting. They were often merciless meetings in our search for perfection. I recall one week when there were eighteen people all sitting in a large circle without a table to hide behind, and one of the receptionists, a fat, self- contented moose, smirked after admitting that she had lashed up on a booking. The smirk drained away as it was pointed out that, as she had risked jeopardizing the GR name with her recklessness, she could now leave the room, leave the company, and never be heard of again. And that is exactly what happened. Amazing, after that, how we had everyone's undivided attention.
So, what happened during the first two years that added a million pounds to the bottom line? Why did that not happen from the beginning? Surely there was a simple enough formula here of booking guests in from an apparently endless list of reservations requests, offering the same menu each day and washing the dirty plates at the end of each service. Most restaurants would have given their eye teeth to make _£_ 600,000 a year, but we knew that there was an opportunity to fine-tune every area of the operation, leading to bigger bucks and true longevity for the restaurant.
The single most effective step was to introduce profit and loss numbers to the kitchen management. Chefs are not normally numbers people, but I saw how they sat up when Chris alluded to the information that the office could pick up from the kitchen's activities just from the food margins, the primary indicator of how much was spent on ingredients, compared to the amount of food sales. If the chef carried on buying Welsh lamb when the prices went up without increasing the menu price or switching to Pyrenean lamb, his monthly food margin would drop a couple of points, and the office knew there was a fuck-up somewhere. The menu stayed more or less the same and, therefore, the food margins did not falter.
As the kitchens began to understand the importance of buying intelligently, turning stock and charging in accordance with market costs, a bonus system was introduced in accordance with performance. As such, it represented financial rewards for doing the job right. Commission or bonuses are nearly always associated with sales or deal making, and it just seemed right that safeguarding aspects of the bottom line also deserved reward and motivation to keep going along that track. This had to be carefully watched, as the last thing I wanted was overkill when margins rose at the expense of quality. That was not the idea. It's just that, when I think back to _Royal Hospital Road_ , it was always our boast that we never bought on price, just quality and timely delivery.
The other essential indicator was salary costs as a percentage of sales. There had to be sufficient staffing, but not over-staffing. Also added into the formula had to be the training and retention of staff. When commis enlisted and then left in less than six months, we came up with a bonus system, whereby those staying for a year earned a one-off payment at the end of the term. This immediately had anyone thinking twice before throwing in the towel.
The art of upselling is a sensitive but necessary subject. There is nothing more irritating than when a table is approached half a dozen times and asked if they want water. Once is fine, and the question has to be asked. After that, it is vital that an indicator is left on the table so that any further approach is avoided. Either remove the water glasses if it was 'No,' or place a bottle coaster on the table to indicate that a bottle is already on the way. So simple.
Successful and intelligent upselling is bringing to the guests' attention something that they want, but just hadn't thought about. Sit a party down at the table and ask them what they may like to drink, and there will be total confusion. Particularly if the guests don't know each other. Suggest the champagne trolley, and you're home and dry. It cuts across the whole problem for a guest who doesn't want to be the first to choose. And, in the meantime, you kick off with six glasses of pink champagne on the bill at _£_ 9.50 a glass, with six happy guests who are beginning to realize that they are going to enjoy themselves.
Statistics on the _Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's_ scale did my head in at the beginning. At Claridge's, we agreed to put _£_ 1 on every bill in the months of November and December for a London charity called StreetSmart. The proceeds were to go to London's down-and-outs, and we, in fact, decided to extend this to six of the restaurants. So, how much did _£_ 1 a table produce in those two months for six little restaurants? Something in the region of _£_ 23,000. That means that we served 23,000 tables – not guests – in sixty-one days. Extend this to the number of feet belonging to all the guests (allowing an average of two feet per guest) that make up these tables, and you begin to understand why we need a twenty-four-hour maintenance team, why we need to replace the fucking carpets every three years, and why, unless you do this, the place will wilt like a lettuce leaf at Ascot.
What do guests look for more than anything when entering a restaurant? What they want is attention. They want to see a smile, an acknowledgement, a welcome the moment they enter, and the average restaurant is fucking crap at this simple courtesy. Either you are completely ignored and staff at the reception desk carry on talking among themselves, or someone challenges you with 'Name?' And on giving your name, they repeat it like a fucking automaton, without so much as a 'Mr' or 'Mrs'. Their attention then flicks down the reservations list, and they proceed to highlight the name in Day-Glo green or rub it out like a gleeful schoolgirl, fresh from a shoplifting spree at Office World.
People in a restaurant see it as their chance for recognition. Give them a warm, welcoming smile. Get their name right with the appropriate title, and make it sound like you are really pleased to see them. They are already flushed pink that they are recognized and have your undivided attention. A good restaurant manager understands this, and ensures that his staff are drilled to follow these simple rules. For Christ's sake, the guests' satisfaction is what your job is all about. Get it wrong and you will hear no more because there won't be any guests left.
Once past the desk, the guest is now looking out for two things: which table he's going to get and whether any of the other guests are looking and thinking, 'a regular' or 'Who is this git who's getting the special stroking?' All part of the service, and still not a menu in sight.
So, in the early days of _Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's_ , we decided to do something about the smile factor. I guess it stemmed from a remark that Chris made when he was asked what qualifications he had to run restaurants. He just looked up and said, 'I eat in them.' You see, what was going around in his maze of a brain was that chefs and waiters only see what they do from their own positions. They come through college, tiny kitchens and bistros, and never get to see the wider picture. I think it's called one-dimensional. So what I decided to do was invite our own staff to experience their own restaurant. Get done up, bring their nearest and dearest, and

Unlike a Presidential contest, which is one day and one winner but for which voters can be polled in advance, baseball incorporates a lot of variables and there are up to 7 games. And things happen during each game. There are only so many data points that can be factored in as parameters and using those parameters, statistical methods like Bayes and Markov can help you look smart at the sports bar.
New Jersey Institute of Technology math professor Bruce Bukiet says the Red Sox are the favorites with both bookmakers and mathematicians but is well aware that the St. Louis Cardinals have defeated both the competition and his mathematical model in each of their previous series.
Bukiet's mathematical model said thatd the edge in the League Division series - a solid result, but the Pirates were defeated by the Cardinals. In the League Championship Series, the model said that the Red Sox and Dodgers had the edge, but the math lost again - along with the Dodgers.
He's rarely wrong, his projections have in 3 of the last 4 years. He employs a Markov process approach which enables him to compute the probability of a team with given hitters, bench, starting pitcher, lineup, and relievers scoring any number of runs and adjusts for home field advantage to compute the chance each team has to win a game.
G
Bukiet uses performance data from the entire 2013 regular season for each team's post-season roster of players in order to perform his computations. The relatively small amount of data for one of the Cards' starting pitchers (rookie Michael Wacha) may be part of the difficulty Bukiet's model has had with the Cards this post-season. Others include that "anything can happen in short series, especially in close games and extra-inning games," he noted.

Appellant's second claim,requires us to examine carefully the transcript of the Rule 114 hearing. We note, first, that Carter had two, substantially similar, Rule 11 hearings, one before and one after the abrogation of the plea agreement. Carter stated that he had gone over the chargeswith his attorney. The judge read Carter the four counts he was chargedt, and importation. Carter stated that he understood the charges. These charges are simple enough that a man with a high school education who says that he understands them should be believed. See Mack v. United States, 635 F.2d 20, 25 n.2 (1st Cir. 1980) (""). The judge also told Carter the maximum penalties each charge carried and explained that the penalties could be strung out consecutively. Carter stated he understoodbelow. Ineffective assistance of counsel charges depend on evidentiary matters that arewill not hear this claim until it has been raised in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding below.; see also United States v. McLure, 786 F.2d 1286, 1291 (5th Cir. 1986).

3. Appellant's claim, raised at oral argument, that the district court's noncooperation determination was factually incorrect must be raisedr for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. On the record as it stands on appeal judge simply made a credibility determination that we cannot second guess.

More details of the actual book when I’m allowed to release them, but for now I’m just sharing that I shall once more heading into the drafting breach! Expect incoming rants, teases, questions, cries for help and pictures and updates from writing retreats.
I can also now say that I have made a successful start on this draft by picking the Theme Tune. Yes, that’s right. My books all have theme tunes! It is always the very first thing I like to do when facing the blank page at the beginning of a big project. I pick a song, track, piece of music, playlist or album that summons the mood, tone and feel of the narrative I’m after and everything else just flows from there.
I hereby announce that the thumping, loud, action-packed, pulse-quickening Thunderstruck by AC/DC will be the theme tune of my next novel. I’m hoping to create a story that can generate all the same feelings the song does. In short there will be action…lots and lots of action! And passion. And EXPLOSIONS.

Regarding comparison, what actually about something like elpd_loo?
For instance, Weibull is a special case of the family of parametric proportional hazard models by Royston & Parmar, where one has in that special Weibull limiting case actually no spline terms in the log of the cumulative baseline hazard function, hence the log of the cumulative hazard is a linear function in the log of the time. So in the general case of the R&P family, unless there is a away to inverse i-splines (maybe there is, I have to think), that wouldn't work, right?
Why not use the algebra_solver for this?This is a root finding problem which you should be able to handle with it, no?
That's an excellent point. This is indeed a root finding problem where we want to find the t that satisfies P(T \le t) = u. The problem is that to use the algebraic solver in Stan we'd need P(T \le t) in closed-form as a callable function, which we don't have. Unless maybe if we wrote it as a function that calls the 1-D integrator inside?
The 1d integrator is about to land in Stan. In the meantime you can abuse the ode integrator to do the same…
So it possible to pass in a function to the algebraic solver which itself calls the ODE solver inside of it?
Btw, the stancon contribution from charles earlier this year (if i recall right) did showcase the algebra solver to find the steady state of a pk system…
@wds15, @arya thanks!
Just tried to follow up on this, so the first step would be to write the function encoding the algebraic equation, or actually the root-finding problem, (called system in section 20.2. of the manual). The required signature of system is also given there. Since in my case system would need to depend on a uniform random number, which I plan to generate in the generated quantities block (where also the algebra_solver is called), I wonder whether I can include the uniform random number in the x_r array?The manual says x_r must be an expression that only involves data or transformed data variables. Is my scenario valid in this sense?
Another question/thought on this: What about censored survival times?I see how we can check coverage for non-censored times, but what do we compare in case of censored samples?
Not sure, if I understand. What if I don't model explicitly the censoring process, i.e. I do not have a generative model for whether a datapoint is censored or not…Your comment would only apply when I model when I have a corresponding model, right?
