 Have you heard of ranked-choice voting?

Let's tell our elected officials it's time to look at ranked-choice voting for all of Minnesota.
Some of us have been reading about a voting system used in the Twin Cities called ranked-choice voting (RCV), which lets people rank candidates from most to least preferred. I wish we could vote this way in our upcoming primary on Aug. 14 and then again in the November general election.
This Tuesday, we have a primary election with many qualified public servants battling to get on the November ballot. It's possible that, in the DFL primary, the candidates who prevail in the governor and attorney general races could have as little as 35 percent of the vote due to the number of candidates and our "first-past-the-post" system of elections. This means that a majority of voters will have voted for someone else!
Ranked-choice voting ensures that whoever wins has support from the majority (51 percent) of voters. Maine just successfully used RCV in their statewide primary in June, and I think we should have it here in Minnesota. Let's tell our elected officials it's time to look at ranked-choice voting for all of Minnesota.

 Have you heard about the Gimli Glider incident?

Flight survivor Elizabeth Sapena is seen here with Gimli Glider pilot Bob Pearson.
Spontaneous hugs from strangers are not uncommon for local resident Bob Pearson, otherwise known as the Gimli Glider pilot who miraculously landed a 61-passenger Boeing 767 without fuel July 23, 1983 in Manitoba.
One of those passengers is Elizabeth Sapena, who resides in Alexandria. Sapena had boarded the plane in Montreal that was destined for Edmonton.
Sapena talks about the world-renowned incident that’s been described in hundreds of stories, a movie and a book.
Sapena saw Pearson at the Billy Gebbie Arena in Alexandria on May 22 and re-introduced herself as one of many grateful flight survivors… but only after giving him a great big hug.
“I’m always happy to see people so grateful that we managed to land and get everyone to safety,” Pearson says.
Sapena sits in the front row and listens intently as Pearson describes the flight, the conditions at the time and aftermath of the life-altering experience for passengers, crew and particularly late crew member Maurice Quintal, whose son afterwards was left disabled after a bad accident and whose wife committed suicide.
“Two factors were crucial at the time,” explains the 82-year-old Glen Robertson retiree.
But back to the history-making flight.
“I requested enough fuel to go to Edmonton so we wouldn’t have to refuel in Ottawa,” states Pearson of the pre-flight preparations.
When the low-pressure light came on, Pearson thought there was no big problem. But when other lights came on, they knew there was something going on.
Sapena recalls the message from Pearson in the cockpit, saying there would be a delay.
Then everything went black. There were no lights, there was no engine sound. It was unnaturally quiet on the plane.
Only 30 miles from Winnipeg and 14 to Gimli, Quintal remembered the air base training sight in Gimli and suggested they try to land there.
Pearson explains how he used the fuselage as a brake 800 feet from the runway and that he could see lots of cars at the end of the lane and two boys on bicycles (there were three, but he only saw the duo), and knew he had to stop. There was so much smoke, Pearson told crew to get everyone out of the plane.
There have been many inquiries, a lot of finger-pointing, heartache and interesting revelations since then. Though a book (Free Fall) and movie have long since been released, another movie is in the works that Pearson and his partner Pearl (who was a passenger on the flight) know about. They have reviewed the 11-page proposal sent to them by the director from Los Angeles, but are not certain on the release date.
“I’m looking forward to it,” says Sapena, who drives a school bus in Alexandria.

 What is the Tremellales? Respond in 6 sentences.

The Tremellales are an order of fungi in the class Tremellomycetes. The order contains both teleomorphic and anamorphic species, most of the latter being yeasts. All teleomorphic species in the Tremellales are parasites of other fungi, though the yeast states are widespread and not restricted to hosts. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous.
The order currently comprises 8 families, containing around 300 valid species. Significant genera include "Tremella", two species of which are edible and commercially cultivated, and the yeast genera "Cryptococcus" and "Trichosporon", several species of which are human pathogens.

 What can you tell me about Josh Pérez?

The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) announced today the signing of attacker Josh Pérez from Serie A side Fiorentina. The U.S. Youth international will be added to the Club’s supplemental roster upon receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
Born in Montebello, Pérez, returns home to Southern California after spending the last three years playing in Italy. He originally signed a four-year contract with Fiorentina in 2016 after spending three seasons (2011-13) in the Chivas USA youth system.
While with Fiorentina’s U-19 side, Pérez appeared in 46 matches in the Italian Campionato Primavera 1, scoring 17 goals and adding 14 assists across all competitions. He made his Serie A debut in a 4-2 loss against Inter Milan on November 28, 2016. In August 2017, Pérez was loaned to Italian Serie C side A.S. Livorno Calcio, where he would go on to tally three assists in 25 matches.
“Josh is a talented young forward with meaningful experience in Europe who will bolster our attacking options moving forward,” said LAFC Head Coach Bob Bradley.
The 5-foot-5 forward was a member of the U.S. U-17 FIFA World Cup squad in 2015 alongside Christian Pulisic. Pérez has come through the ranks of U.S. youth soccer, earning call-ups to the U-17, U-19 and U-20 teams.

 Describe the changes CEC Entertainment is making to some of its Chuck E. Cheese restaurants.

What's Chuck E. Cheese without its iconic animatronic bands?
It may be more appealing to children who have grown up with sophisticated video games and entertainment, according to owner CEC Entertainment. The kid-focused pizza chain is updating a handful of restaurants with open kitchens and toned-down colors, as well as one striking omission: the animatronic animals who play music and entertain families.
The revamp comes as the restaurant chain is looking to reengage families and kids with a "modern experience," said CEC Chief Executive Tom Leverton. The redesigned locations also feature a dance floor where a live Chuck E. comes out to shake a leg with children. The animatronic bands were shown the door with the new design.
"It's the biggest thing we've done for the look and feel of Chuck E. Cheese for two decades," Leverton said. "The kids stopped looking at the animatronics years and years ago, and they would wait for the live Chuck E. to come out."
Children's taste in entertainment is much more sophisticated now than when the chain started in 1977 because kids today are used to slick animations and special effects, he added. The animatronics bands may be an icon for parents and grandparents, but children today prefer dancing with Chuck E. -- a worker dressed up as the chain's icon -- or big-form video games, Leverton added.
"The animatronics became a side show," he said.
The company is starting its revamp with four locations in San Antonio, Texas, and will then renovate three restaurants in the Kansas City, Missouri, area.
The new design highlights changes the company had made to Chuck E. Cheese's menu, which now includes wraps, gluten-free pizza and a thin-crust pizza. The company is also touting a blind taste test in which diners rated Chuck E. Cheese's thin-crust pepperoni pizza higher than rival Pizza Hut.
"We are trying to make sure while we are focused on being a kid business, mom and dad will have a great experience," Leverton said. Parents "shouldn't have to sacrifice" when they take their kids out for dinner.
What will happen to the animatronics in the chain's other locations? That depends on the results from the seven revamped locations. Leverton noted that the company has a "strong hypothesis" that it will eventually shift its focus to the live Chuck E. performers instead of animatronics.
The shift may seem slightly ironic given many businesses are increasingly relying on robots and automation as a way of lowering operating costs and improving productivity. Yet when it comes to entertainment, robotics aren't yet ready for prime time, Leverton said.
"For production or ringing up guests, that is clearly a trend in the industry," he said. "We have 35 stores where we have full-service kiosks. That's a natural progression" rather than replacing live entertainers.
As for whether the animatronics may remind patrons of the horror video game "Five Nights with Freddy," Leverton said while he has played the game and sees similarities, it doesn't concern him. That game is set at a fictional restaurant chain where animatronic machines come to life and try to scare the player.
"It's a startling game," he said, adding that he believed the references to Chuck E. Cheese "are purposeful." Families that visit Leverton's chain are usually bringing younger children who aren't likely to be familiar with the game, he said.
"If [the game] increases awareness, maybe that's good," he said. "That doesn't cause me much worry."

 Describe the football career of Stephen Cooper. Respond in 12 sentences.

Stephen Cooper (born June 19, 1979) is a former American football linebacker for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Maine. He was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2003, and played his entire professional career for the Chargers.
Cooper verbally committed to attend the U.S. Naval Academy but transferred closer to home at the University of Maine to try and earn a scholarship. In an interview with Tom Shanahan, Cooper said his decision was a family one. "We weren't really thinking about professional football," Cooper said, "We were thinking about a job after college, and if you go to the Naval Academy, you're not going to get turned away for a job." Because his high school coach and Maine Black Bears football head coach Jack Cosgrove played together in college, Cooper was offered a scholarship and became an instant star. Cooper earned Maine's Roger Ellis Rookie of Year Award his freshman year in 1999. As a junior, Cooper earned Atlantic-10 Co-Defensive Player of Year. During his senior year, Cooper racked up Atlantic-10 Conference Defensive Player of Year in 2002, the George H. "Bulger" Lowe award from the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston as the top defensive football player in New England, and was named a 1st Team Defense 2002 Associated Press NCAA Division I-AA Football All-American. He was also an American Football Coaches Association and Sports Network All-American as well.

 Describe Rougned Odor's improvements in June 2018.

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers will finish out June on Saturday with the most timely and appropriate promotion of the season.
They will give out bobbleheads featuring Rougned Odor on top of Smokey, the horse that helped seal the six-year, $49 million contract between the player and the team.
It is timely because Odor has only recently gotten back up on the proverbial horse and is back in the saddle again.
As he heads into the final day of the month, it's not entirely implausible to look at June 2018, and consider it a career-rescuing moment. The longer the month has dragged on, the more multi-dimensional Odor has looked. The Rangers haven't looked all that bad either. Thanks to Friday's 11-3 win over Chicago, they are 13-11 as they head into the final day of the month.
"I am proud of myself," Odor said even before he went 2 for 5 Friday. "All the work I've been doing in practice is starting to come into games. I am focusing on every pitch on offense and defense."
* He has bunted and turned his feet into a weapon again, compiling three of his five bunt singles for the year in June. He's also stolen a pair of bases successfully within the last week after starting the season a dreadful 1 for 6 in that category.
* He has started to drive the ball again; his second-inning homer Friday was his third in the last 10 days. The homer started a seven-run inning, the Rangers biggest of the year. It included a pair of three-run homers. Odor also singled in his second at-bat of the inning.
"He's not missing pitches he can drive," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "He's put a lot of work in trying to zone in on that."
* And he has played smooth defense, going error free in 29 games (28 starts) at second since May 24. It is the second-longest error-free stretch in a season in his career behind a 32-game (31 starts) streak to end his first year (2014) in the majors.
"He got to a point where he felt like he needed to make some changes," Banister said. "I don't think there was a singular moment of epiphany. The game has a way of letting you know you need to make some adjustments along the way."
This is what the game let him know as he entered the month: He had the second-lowest WAR in the majors since the start of 2017. On top of that, Jurickson Profar had outplayed him in the middle of the infield and Elvis Andrus was about to return from the disabled list, which was going to put a premium on playing time.
Doing things the way he'd wanted for a season and a third had gotten him nowhere. If possible, he'd regressed off a truly awful 2017 season.
If there is an answer to what he's done better, he's worked harder and tried "easier."
He has spent almost every day on the field early working with instructor Tony Beasley on his first step and his footwork to improve his defense. On offense, he's lightened his load a little, bouncing more to the plate and swinging a little easier rather than the stalk, stare and swing mightily approach he's carried since the start of last year.
"I was forcing things," Odor said. "I was trying to force where I wanted the ball to go. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard, just meet the ball and make hard contact. I'm not trying to do too much. I'm focused on trying to find my pitch to hit and not swinging at the other pitches. I've focused my mind on what I want to do."
The Rangers have been waiting for this since they gave him that horse a year ago.
Suddenly, Odor is giving them hope it wasn't such a bad horse trade after all.

 Write a review of the concert featuring Die Robot and Stabbing Westward. Respond in 19 sentences.

What more can be said about Stabbing Westward? One of the biggest selling bands of the late ’90s and early 2000s, bridging the gap between mainstream alt. rock and underground industrial, Stabbing Westward has been enjoying a resurgence in the last two years. Two days after a headlining performance at the first ColdWaves L.A., the band proceeded northward for its last show of 2017. There to catch the show was Chazz Gold of Chazzarazzi Nightlife, to which ReGen Magazine would like to extend its deepest appreciation for offering this coverage of two stellar bands.
One must will say this for Portland – judging from the size of the nearly soldout show of Die Robot and Stabbing Westward at the Star Theater, the death rock and industrial scene is alive and well in this city.
Having showed up moments before Die Robot took the stage and having to shove to the front to jockey for a suitable position to capture some photography of this amazing band, I was excited to see this band whose music I’d only heard through speakers and had yet to see performed live. Regardless of the band members being friends of mine and knowing Barbie Saint to be of one the best DJs this scene has to offer… putting all that aside, Die Robot’s show did not disappoint. The band’s style of what it appropriately brands as technopunk has a driving, hard, danceable, yet infectious sound, while also possessing a captivating stage presence that demands you pay attention to the show.
Die Robot took to the stage with crowd favorite “Armed Forces,” warming up the crowd with the track that featured in its latest music video; the crowd’s response in turn seemed to excite the band. All around the room were bobbing heads and smiles. Other favorites like “Beautiful Skin” and “10,000 Years” highlighted the set, with Die Robot polishing off the opening display with the heavy, bombastic track “The Underground.” For my part, it was a pleasure to see the group live – vocalist Vince Christian in his all white outfit reminded of a cross between a young Dave Gahan and Ian Curtis, sharing a similar kind of stage presence. Put simply, Die Robot is definitely a band you do not want to miss live.
Stabbing Westward did not disappoint either, especially for a band that had released its first album 23 years ago in 1994; having seen them back when I was still a young goth kid in the ’90s, this band still rocks as hard as I remember. Of course, the requisite hits like “So Far Away,” “What Do I Have to Do?,” “Sometimes It Hurt,” “Shame,” and “Save Yourself” adorned the set to appease the longtime fans, but Stabbing Westward did well to scatter the set with some of my favorites like “I Remember” and “Wasted.” Christopher Hall is an awesome singer, still hitting those notes, making small talk with the crowd, cracking jokes, mentioning being all grown up these days and being a dad to his four-year-old.
What was a particularly noteworthy bit of banter was Hall addressing the ghost that inhabits the Star Theater and asking it to play nice, which was fun and got a great laugh from the audience. Coming on for an encore and ending the show with “Angel” from the band’s 2001 self-titled album, Stabbing Westward left with the whole crowd singing along; if that doesn’t mean star power, what does? After the show, being the rather awesome guy that he is, you could catch Hall at the merch table chatting everyone up.

Bad Brad Wheeler, 99.9 KUAA's new program director, sets up the studio in Salt Lake City on Mar 29, 2018. 99.9 KUAA is owned by the Utah Arts Alliance.
SALT LAKE CITY — When Joe McQueen, the 98-year-old jazz saxophone legend from Ogden, accidentally pinned Brad Wheeler’s body between two cars, Wheeler’s whole life changed.
Pulling up his pant leg, Wheeler revealed the scars from the accident. Streaks of purple-maroon skin run down his right calf. He and McQueen were on their way to a radio fundraiser when it happened. When Wheeler's leg was first sewn up, it didn’t take, and he got gangrene. He then received a skin graft and spent weeks recuperating in a hospital burn unit.
Bad Brad Wheeler, 99.9 KUAA's new program director, shows his recovering leg in Salt Lake City on Mar 29, 2018. 99.9 KUAA is owned by the Utah Arts Alliance.
Monday marks two years since that accident. It’s what led Wheeler, widely recognized in Utah by his radio DJ name, “Bad Brad,” to the new office where he now sits. No, it’s not at 90.9 KRCL, where Wheeler was the station’s drive time DJ for a decade. Now he’s at 99.9 KUAA, the Utah Arts Alliance's new multilingual radio station that launched in October. Wheeler joined KUAA earlier this year as director of programming.
The accident and its accompanying stint in the burn unit was a wake-up call, Wheeler said. He began studying meditation, and he left KRCL last June after realizing he and the station were going in different directions.
Talking to Wheeler now, he seems fairly Zen — phrases like “sometimes you hold on to something too tight, it doesn’t help you” and “with good intentions, good things happen” regularly escape his lips, albeit in the blue collar, radio DJ tone for which he’s become so recognizable.
At this point, Wheeler’s KUAA office still feels like an incomplete sketch: A few microphones, monitors and CD decks are scattered about with an old mixing console sitting atop a large desk. Most of that equipment was donated by fans and well-wishers.
The Cash reference is fitting, especially for someone like Wheeler. He’s handpicked KUAA’s current song list, which has 10,906 songs. It’s a staggeringly diverse mix of old blues, rock and country from all over the world. KUAA’s programming is one-third English music and one-third Spanish music with the other third dedicated to songs in other languages.
Wheeler doesn’t claim to be a world music expert, however.
“I feel like I need to create something for everyone, but I also know that I’m just one guy,” he said.
The task in front of him is fairly tough: Play diverse bilingual music that will entice folks who don’t normally listen to it, stay cohesive and create “stationality,” as he calls it, meaning station identity, and drum up interest throughout Salt Lake City.
KUAA’s current sound will evolve, though, as Wheeler and other Utah Arts Alliance members incorporate new DJs, hosts and programs. Wheeler said he’s excited to get audition tapes and show pitches. He’s also prepping to helm his drive-time show again.
As for how the station will divvy up its time exactly, he’s still not sure. Salt Lake City’s demographics, Wheeler said, have changed a lot in the past five years. Doing a true multicultural radio station has perhaps never been more difficult in Utah.
Wheeler has his share of international experience. He was actually born in England. A station like KUAA, he said, feels culturally important right now.
Bad Brad Wheeler, 99.9 KUAA's new program director, talks about his job at his studio in Salt Lake City on Mar 29, 2018. 99.9 KUAA is owned by the Utah Arts Alliance.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed the song “Caravan” to Van Morrison. The song was originally written by Duke Ellington and Juan Tizol.

 Explain what is meant by yo-yo dieting.

Yo-yo dieting or yo-yo effect, also known as weight cycling, is a term coined by Kelly D. Brownell at Yale University, in reference to the cyclical loss and gain of weight, resembling the up-down motion of a yo-yo. In this process, the dieter is initially successful in the pursuit of weight loss but is unsuccessful in maintaining the loss long-term and begins to gain the weight back. The dieter then seeks to lose the regained weight, and the cycle begins again.

 Describe the importance of permanent Inspectors General in the Trump Administration.

Immigration has always played a critical role in the Trump agenda, and this issue has taken even greater focus as the President’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began implementing a “zero tolerance” policy and separating immigrant families at the Southern border. After facing a huge backlash, the President signed an executive order to detain people with their families. Government transparency was blatantly challenged when the records connecting families at the United States and Mexican border disappeared. On July 6, CREW called for an investigation into DHS based on a report from The New York Times that “[r]ecords linking children to their parents have disappeared, and in some cases have been destroyed.” This potential violation of the Federal Records Act (FRA), which preserves government documentation by law, limits the public’s ability to review what decisions are being made within DHS and why. DHS has also been at the center of fulfilling President Trump’s campaign promises, such as the Muslim Ban and the wall on the United States and Mexican border, which have come under significant legal scrutiny. DHS has been without a permanent inspector general since December 2017. Without a permanent, Senate-confirmed Inspector General to serve as an independent watchdog, the threat of DHS ignoring federal laws and ethical guidelines to achieve the president’s political goals becomes more feasible.
DHS is not the only agency critical to the Trump agenda without a permanent watchdog. The Department of Interior (Interior) has recently announced that the agency’s stewardship of America’s natural resources must be balanced by Trump’s goal of implementing regulatory reform. As Secretary Zinke has aggressively moved to implement the president’s campaign promise to reduce regulations, he has also been subject to numerous ethics investigations into his relationships with private business interests as well as the lack of transparency into his own conduct. Shortly after his confirmation, Zinke’s schedule included multiple meetings with oil and gas executives, including speaking with the Board of Directors of the American Petroleum Institute (API), an industry lobbying group, at President Trump’s Washington D.C. hotel. Last year, Zinke signed an ethics agreement stating he would resign from his leadership roles in three organizations where he has financial ties upon confirmation, but on his Certification of Ethics Agreement Compliance, Zinke acknowledged that he did not resign from those positions until after his confirmation. Further, Zinke’s wife is the president of Great Northern Veterans Peace Park Foundation, Inc., one of the organizations from which Zinke resigned. The foundation is “playing a key role in a real-estate deal backed by the chairman of Halliburton, the oil-services giant” which could benefit from influencing Interior policy.
Since his tenure at Interior began, Zinke has been subject to 14 separate investigations into his conduct including by the Office of Special Counsel, the House Oversight Committee, the Government Accountability Office, as well as OIG. Despite all of this concerning conduct, Interior’s IG seat has been vacant since February 23, 2009. While because of a technical rule, President Obama did not have authority to nominate a permanent IG until 2011, his eventual nominee for the post, Mary Kendall, was ultimately not confirmed by the Senate. The IG vacancy has persisted for the duration of the Trump Administration without a potential nominee.
While families at the border continue to suffer, the families of Trump administration officials continue to prosper. At the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Inspector General position has remained vacant since June 30, 2017. During this time, Ben Carson has been subject to intense criticism for using his agency post to advance his own interests. For example, in 2017, he allowed his family to invite potential business partners to a HUD “listening tour” throughout Baltimore despite warnings by agency lawyers that doing so might violate ethics rules. Ben Carson’s son “joined agency staff on official conference calls about the listening tour” and “copied his wife on related email exchanges” despite neither of them actually being HUD employees. Following this tour, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded a $485,000 contract to the consulting company Myriddian, whose chief executive is Carson’s daughter-in-law. In addition, Carson and his wife approved the purchase of a $31,000 custom dining room set for his office. Not only is Secretary Carson accused of using his position to benefit his family’s financial interest, but he is also disregarding the concerns of civil servants in his potential misconduct. Many of these questionable decisions were made following the departure of HUD’s then-Inspector General David Montoya in June 2017. Although President Trump nominated Rae Oliver to replace Montoya in June 2018, the post remains open while the Senate considers Oliver’s qualifications for the post. Meanwhile, Carson remains largely unchecked.
Offices of Inspector General were created after the Watergate scandal to investigate misconduct within federal agencies and have since expanded their focus to include creating and executing long-term reforms that combat inefficiencies. It’s clear the Trump Administration is not sufficiently policing itself, nor does it intend to ensure there are independent watchdogs in place to do the job. Permanent Inspectors General are best positioned to provide effective oversight of federal agencies because they are vetted through the Senate and can make long-term strategic, budgetary, and staffing goals to support their work. Acting IG’s are important to bridge the gap, but as one former IG has noted, their status as temporary leaders “can have a debilitating effect on [an] OIG, particularly over a lengthy period.” Without the placement of permanent Inspectors General, independent checks and balances of federal agencies are weakened and long-term reforms are hindered.
The DOD IG role is particularly important in light of an increased number of sexual assault victim reprisal cases, and Acting Secretary Shanahan’s ethics questions.
The litany of ethics and transparency abuses from EPA and Wheeler over the last two years demonstrate the critical need for oversight at the agency.
With recent news of efforts at DHS and Education to frustrate acting IG investigations, concern about the high number of vacancies is real and growing.

 Describe the current gun control movement in America and the effects of it.

American gun violence is “a human rights crisis” and the US government’s refusal to pass gun control laws represents a violation of its citizens’ right to life, according to a new report by Amnesty International.
To address the crisis of gun homicide, suicide and injury that leaves about 38,000 Americans dead and 116,000 wounded each year, Amnesty recommends the US pass a sweeping set of gun control measures, including universal background checks, the requirement of a valid license to buy a gun, no gun purchases for those under 21, a ban on certain military-style weapons and ammunition, and the creation of a digitized national gun registry.
Congress should also pass a federal law prohibiting carrying guns in public “unless there is a credible justification for doing so”, Amnesty argues.
Some of the measures Amnesty recommends go further than the policies even Democratic party politicians currently support. Current US law, for instance, “expressly prohibits the creation of a national registry of most firearms,” the report notes, while endorsing the policy.
Amnesty also recommended that “the USA should guarantee the right to health and access to healthcare services for gunshot survivors,” and insure that healthcare costs do not cause “catastrophic financial burdens” to survivors or their families.
While it gives some attention to public mass shootings, the Amnesty report focuses more on everyday forms of gun violence, particularly urban violence, domestic violence, and the impact of gun violence on children. Mass shootings “account for less than 1% of gun deaths in the USA,” the report notes.
Noting that the gun violence crisis disproportionately burdens Americans of color, and particularly young black men, Amnesty called for Congress to pass legislation to ensure “sustained funding” for local violence prevention programs. Despite strong evidence that some community-based programs can reduce urban gun violence, “lack of funding and lack of political will” have blocked successful programs from being widely implemented, the report noted.
By framing gun violence in terms of human rights, Amnesty is attempting to use international human rights law as a counterweight to Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms, experts said. While the invocation of human rights law could be a powerful rhetoric tool for advocates, they said, it was unlikely to make much difference in a courtroom. The United States has largely resisted being held accountable by international human rights bodies.
Amnesty’s new report comes as the Senate prepares to confirm a gun rights champion as a new supreme court justice. Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the supreme court has been backed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), and his confirmation could tip the balance of the court even further in favor of gun rights advocates and gun manufacturers. Gun control advocates say they fear Kavanaugh could be the swing vote to rule, for instance, that banning assault weapons is unconstitutional, or to further restrict the ability of local governments to regulate gun-carrying in public.
But even as Donald Trump has advanced the agenda of the NRA, which spent more than $30m to back his White House bid, the United States has also seen a resurgent gun control movement, led by teenagers frustrated with the constant toll of school shootings and everyday violence. Student survivors of the 14 February school shooting in Parkland, Florida, are now crisscrossing the country, working to register and turn out young voters in advance of the midterm elections, with the goal of voting out Republican lawmakers who are blocking gun control laws.
While framing America’s gun violence in human rights terms is a symbolic move, “I don’t think it’s symbolic in the empty sense,” said Gerald Neuman, the co-director of the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School.
Governments that are violating the human rights of their citizens tend to “gaslight” victims, said James Cavallaro, a Stanford University professor and a former president of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
American gun control advocates may be encouraged by the human rights report that they’re “not asking for anything bizarre” and that the legitimacy of their demands are “recognized in the rest of the world”, Cavallaro said.

 Describe a wild Asian elephant crossing the border between China and Laos.

A wild Asian elephant has caused a stir on the border between China and Laos when it casually flouted immigration control and stepped over the barrier between the two countries.
Taking advantage of the dark, the animal moved out of China’s southwestern Yunnan Province and crossed into neighbouring Luang Matha in Laos in the early hours of Saturday morning.
CCTV footage at a border-crossing checkpoint captured the elephant’s journey.
The elephant could be seen casually stepping over the barrier and continuing up the road as baffled border security looked on.
It returned two hours later to China unharmed.
According to Chahe border-crossing soldier Li Zhifu, seasonal changes and food shortages force the animals closer to civilisation.
“It’s winter now and there’s not a lot of food in the forest areas. We often see wild elephants hunting for food in nearby villages,” he said.

 Have you heard about the Russian Arctic expedition crew?

A Russian Arctic expedition crew in factory-stock pickup trucks has had a close encounter with the gigantic Taymyr nuclear icebreaker.
It occurred as the team was driving on the iced Yenisei River, as the nuclear-powered Taymyr sailed a few meters away from them.
Evgeny Shatalov, one of the drivers, said he managed to get close to the giant ship and touched it, posting his claim on Instagram. He also jokingly regretted that no one on the team touched the icebreaker with their tongue, as that would surely bring good luck to the whole endeavor. When the ship passed by, it was some -50 Celsius.
The team is driving factory-stock Toyota pickup trucks to the far-north town of Dixon. The daring expedition started on January 15 from the city of Norilsk.

 "What is the best way to approach squashing commits in a pull request?"

Petertodd is working on an article/paper/blog-post on fraud proofs along with some data structure work for them. Maaku would like to work with him on the fraud proofs and prev-block proofs as he has done his own explorations on that.
Is merged after the meeting.
BIP68 and 112 don’t need mempool deployment before being safe as a softfork, however we’ve always merged the policy-only implementation before the softfork logic.
The softfork needs more scrutiny and unit tests.
Merge the mempool-only implementation to master, backport mempool + softfork to 0.12.x when the softfork ready.
BIP 9 is needed since there are so many outstanding softforks that it might delay them all. However, we shouldn’t be holding up valuable soft-forks due to the delay in BIP9 development.
We can do deployment via BIP9 while an other isSuperMajority softfork isn’t yet finished.
The problem with current BIP9 implementations is: Codeshark’s version was a lot of code which seemed to do a lot of unrelated things, and Rusty’s version never had a caching layer on top to make it efficient.
Petertodd notes it needs a bunch of stuff added to the database to store the flags, however sipa offers a solution to compute the state for every block once, remain immutable after that, and recompute on startup. This way you don’t have to store anything in the chainstate.
Morcos withdrew from working on BIP9. jtimon will do it if there’s no other volunteer.
Do isSuperMajority softforks until BIP9 is merged.
A pull request usually exists of several different commits (changes to the code). These commits can be squashed together into a single commit. On the previous discussed BIP68 implementation some discussion ensued on what to squash and what not.
commits have a logical function, you want to tell a story how you changed the code that is easy to review, not necessarily your chronological order of changes. If you have tons of ‘fix issue X’ where X was introduced in the same pull, that’s not useful.
A concern is that squashing is annoying for people who are in the midst of reviewing.
Sipa notes it would be good to have a local review script that stores the commits/trees you’ve reviewed and later on shows you the differences compared to what you reviewed before.
The general rule is: do whatever is easier to read and review.

 Explain the current situation between Christian Yelich and the Miami Marlins.

Christian Yelich's relationship with the Miami Marlins is "irretrievably broken," and it would be in the best interests of both the outfielder and the organization if the Marlins trade him before the start of spring training, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday.
Yelich, 26, is the Marlins' most prominent player now that the team has traded Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna and Dee Gordon in the quest to cut payroll under the new Derek Jeter-Bruce Sherman ownership group.
"They have a plan," agent Joe Longo said. "I respect that plan, but that plan shouldn't include Christian at this point in his career. He's in the middle of the best years of his career, and having him be part of a 100-loss season is not really where [we] want to see him going.
"The relationship between player and team is irretrievably broken. It's soured. He's part of the old ownership regime. The new ownership regime needs to get new parts into this plan and move forward, and he needs to get on with his career where he's got a chance to win. The big issue is him winning and winning now.
"He loves the city of Miami. He loves the fans. He's had nothing but a good experience in South Florida, and he feels sorry where they ended up. But I think having him report [to spring training] and attempting to include him moving forward is going to be uncomfortable for both sides. I don't see how it's going to work."
Yelich, catcher J.T. Realmuto and infielder Starlin Castro -- who was acquired from the New York Yankees as part of the Stanton trade in December -- all have expressed displeasure with the Marlins' recent roster teardown and given either public or private indications that they would like to be traded.
After reports surfaced of dissatisfaction in December, general manager Michael Hill said the team would proceed with making moves based on the best interests of the franchise rather than accommodating players unhappy with the organizational direction.
"Should we feel like we need to make a trade involving any of our under-contract, controllable players, we will be the ones who initiate that conversation and always do what's best for the organization," Hill said at the time.
Several industry sources said Hill has been fielding trade offers on Yelich from throughout the game in recent weeks. The Atlanta Braves, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies are among the clubs that have inquired about Yelich at various points this offseason.
Yelich is a popular trade commodity because of his track record and contract status. He has a .290/.369/.432 career slash line, a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger Award on his résumé through 4½ big league seasons. He also has four years left on a multiyear contract that will pay him a guaranteed $44.5 million through 2021.
Yelich signed his seven-year, $49.57 million contract extension with the Marlins in March 2015 -- a mere four months after Stanton agreed on a record-setting $325 million contract with Miami.
"It was a completely different climate at the time," Longo said. "They were built to win immediately. And that's something Christian wanted to be a part of. The climate there when he signed was to win -- with a long-term vision. It's completely changed now, and I don't see him buying into the new business plan.
"Each of the players [traded] was a good friend of his off the field. He understands this is a business. But with the depth of the talent that was traded off -- he was very shocked and saddened to see these people leave. They gutted the team on the position player side."
Longo said Yelich has been invited to the team's FanFest at Marlins Park on Feb. 10, but has yet to decide if he will attend. He said Yelich might be ready to speak publicly "soon'' and share his feelings on the events of this winter.
A Marlins team spokesman said Wednesday that attendance at the FanFest is mandatory, and that players who do not attend the event are subject to being fined by the club.

 Describe the U.S. designation of Hizbul Mujahideen.

The United States has designated Hizbul Mujahideen as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and Specially Designated Global Terrorist, less than two months after its chief Syed Salahuddin was designated a global terrorist.
And the news is complete disappointment for Pakistan.
The statement of the department said, formed in 1989, Hizbul Mujahideen is one of the largest and oldest terrorist groups operating in Kashmir. It is led by Specially Designated Global Terrorist Mohammad Yusuf Shah, also known as Syed Salahuddin.
The tags aim to deny HM resources needed to carry out terror attacks. “The Department of State has designated Hizbul Mujahideen — also known as Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, also known as HM — as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224,” the US State Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
“These designations seek to deny HM the resources it needs to carry out terrorist attacks. Among other consequences, all of HM’s property and interests in property subject to US jurisdiction are blocked, and US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with the group,” the Department said.
“Hizbul Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for several attacks, including the April 2014 explosives attack in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which injured 17 people… terrorism designations expose and isolate organizations and individuals, and deny them access to the US financial system. Moreover, designations can assist the law enforcement activities of US agencies and other governments,” the US State Department notification said.

 Describe a recent incident when a movie studio uploaded the entire movie instead of a trailer.

Sony Pictures Entertainment's movie 'Khali the Killer' is on release in the United States and, as is customary, a trailer has been uploaded to YouTube. However, on closer inspection, it appears that Sony uploaded the entire movie in error. Oops.
YouTube is without doubt one of the best places to watch video online. The site is packed with unique content, much of it produced by members of the public, but it’s also populated with plenty of commercial material.
YouTube’s interface obviously lends itself particularly well to the promotion of video content itself, such as movies and TV shows. To this end companies regularly upload teasers and other promotional material, including clips and trailers for upcoming films. Sony Pictures makes use of this feature but today managed to get it all wrong.
Sometime in the past few hours, somebody at Sony attempted to upload the ‘official red band trailer’ for its upcoming movie Khali the Killer.
“After deciding to retire, an East L.A. hit man decides to take one last job to help support his ailing grandmother’s end of life care. But everything falls apart, when he develops empathy for the targets of his hit, and he’s forced to make the toughest decision of his life,” the movie’s promo blurb reads.
The trailer, just 1h 29m long….wait….
We’ve picked a screenshot that doesn’t ruin the plot but as it clearly shows, this is no ordinary trailer. Weighing in at nearly 90 minutes it’s particularly long. In fact, it’s the entire movie – we checked.
When we started writing this article the movie had around 8,000 views. Just a few paragraphs later that had swelled to almost 11,000. However, while news may be traveling quickly, those numbers probably won’t reach epic levels anytime soon.
The movie has been out in other regions for some time already and if the 3.8 average reviews on iMDb are anything to go by, it’s a bit of a stinker.
There are, however, quite a few that suggest that the movie might benefit from the exposure, with a conspiracy theory thrown in here and there for good measure.
“Fact that they haven’t taken this down after 6 hours+. I don’t think it’s really ‘accidental’ but rather a smart marketing stunt. Internet is buzzing over a movie which otherwise wouldn’t have gotten this much attention on forums/social-media,” a YouTube user wrote.
Time will tell whether that’s really the case but if it’s not, Sony has a problem on its hands.

 What do you know about Tim Hortons?

Tim Hortons recently faced an onslaught of negative publicity as some of its Ontario franchisees clawed back employee benefits, such as paid breaks, to help offset the province’s minimum wage hike, claiming their corporate parent did not provide assistance. The move sparked nationwide protests and prompted some consumers to boycott the chain.
About 2,100 respondents 18 years and older assessed each company in the online study between Dec. 19, 2017, and Jan. 29, 2018.

 Describe the findings of a study on the effects of daily cycling on BMI.

Daily travel by bike leads to the lowest BMI, according to a study of seven European cities, suggesting cities should promote active commutes.
More bike-friendly cities would also help reduce pollution and tackle air pollution, say the study’s authors.
The analysis of data from seven European cities – part of the European Commission funded Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) project – suggests that daily cyclists weigh less than their non-active counterparts. The research was led by Hasselt University and the Flemish Institute for Technological Research, and included Imperial College London researchers.
The study, published in the journal Environment International, also finds that riding an electric bike (e-bike) is associated with a higher BMI as compared to regular cyclists. In ascending order, cyclists have the lowest BMI, then walkers, public transport users, motorcyclists, users of an electric bike, and finally car drivers, who have the highest BMI.
By following over 2000 urban dwellers over time, the team found that men who switch from car driving to cycling for their daily travel lose on average 0.75 kg of weight, with an average decrease in BMI of 0.24. For women, this was a little bit less.
Promoting active travel in cities may therefore provide an opportunity to fight the obesity epidemic, as well as tackle air pollution. As part of the PASTA project, researchers have listed a number of good practices for cities to promote active mobility.
Co-author Dr Audrey de Nazelle, from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial, said: “Travel by car contributes to obesity and also air pollution. In contrast, bikes burn fat and don’t release pollution.
The new study followed people over time, providing a more concrete link between cycling and BMI than studies that just survey people at one point in time. It also meant the results were not skewed by only taking into account people who were already cyclists, as someone of a lower weight is more likely to cycle in the first place.
By going back to the same people as they took up cycling, the researchers could gauge the true effect on the people’s health and BMI.
The study focused on travelling for daily tasks such as commuting to work, running errands, or picking up children. This means that observed weight differences were independent of possible weight changes due to recreational cycling, walking or jogging, sports, or being physically active at work.
‘Transport Mode Choice and Body Mass Index: Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Evidence from a European-Wide study’ by Evi Dons et al. is published in Environment International.

 Please tell me about Marcel Auguste Denise. Respond briefly.

Marcel Auguste Denise (February 3, 1906 – 1991) was a "President of the provisional government" of Côte d'Ivoire during the colonial and autonomous period. He was of Antillean origin and acted as premier under Boigny.
