 Describe how the Twitter community reacted to Skip Bayless's controversial tweet about Gordon Hayward's ankle injury. Respond in 11 sentences.

Controversial sports host Skip Bayless is under fire by fans after a controversial tweet following Gordon Hayward's ankle injury.
A tweet from Skip Bayless has the Twitter community in an uproar yet again.
Known for his controversial takes that get fans riled up, Bayless was back at it again on the NBA's opening night. However, not only were fans bashing him this time, but reporters and current players took to Twitter to address his comments.
JUST AWFUL: First quarter of first game as a Celtic, Gordon Hayward falls awkwardly on alley-oop, looks like badly hurts knee.
It was a simple tweet regarding the severity of Hayward's injury. Addressing the situation and the severity, it seemed like it would stop there. Unfortunately, just a few minutes later, he kept going.
What followed was a steady flood of angry tweets. Many saw that Bayless was more focused on LeBron's path to the NBA Finals instead of focusing on an injury that could affect the future of one of the the best players in the NBA. The backlash that followed was severe.

 Describe the current situation regarding the treatment of LGBTQ people in Chechnya and Angela Merkel's response.

Angela Merkel is pressuring Russian President Vladimir Putin to investigate and put a stop to reported abuses of the LGBTQ community in Chechnya.
The German chancellor, visiting Russia for the first time in two years, said she raised the issue with Putin, along with other human rights issues, during a meeting. In a joint press conference with Putin in Sochi held afterward, she made clear that Germany is taking the reports seriously and urges Russia, of which Chechnya is a federal subject, to do likewise.
Gay and bisexual men in Chechnya are being detained, beaten, and killed, and the Chechen president is reportedly trying to purge the country of queer men by Ramadan, which takes place at the end of this month.
Chechen and Russian officials are denying the reports.
A small group of demonstrators protesting the treatment of LGBTQ people in Chechnya were arrested this week by Russian police.
“I pointed out again how important demonstration rights are in a civil society, how important the role of NGOs are, and in particular that we are getting negative reports about how gay people are being treated in Chechnya,” Merkel said, Putin standing right beside her.
“I asked Vladimir Putin to use his influence to protect these minority rights, as it is being done in the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses,” she continued.
The Russian Supreme Court recently ruled that the country’s branch of Jehovah’ Witnesses was extremists, and that it was to be disbanded and its assets seized.

 Describe the impact of implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Santa Fe. Respond in 19 sentences.

In 2008, Santa Fe announced that it would be switching from a plurality voting system, where each voter only gets one vote, to a ranked choice voting (RCV) system with instant runoffs, where voters can rank as many candidates as they want by preference. This new system has a multitude of benefits for voters in Santa Fe and the rest of New Mexico.
First, RCV serves the people by ensuring that candidates must connect with voters beyond their traditional bases in order to win, thus paving the way for representatives to be better at hearing and addressing the needs of all constituents. RCV also ensures that the winning candidate has garnered support across the community and eliminates the possibility of being elected in spite of opposition from a large portion of voters. Lastly, RCV eliminates the need for the multiple-round elections that we are accustomed to in the U.S. This benefits voters in two ways: 1) the cost of political participation is reduced by only having to go to the polling station once per election and 2) incumbent representatives spend less time campaigning and fundraising and more time serving the people.
Although voters in Santa Fe took the initiative to switch electoral systems a decade ago, the city only obtained the necessary equipment to implement this system in 2018, making the March mayoral and city council elections the first time it was put to the test in New Mexico.
On election day, FairVote New Mexico asked voters leaving the polling centers about their experience with the new RCV system and the results were overwhelmingly positive. According to the report released by FairVote, respondent satisfaction with the new system was at 94% with over 55% of respondents saying that they like the new RCV system and only 26% saying that they did not like it. One concern about adopting an RCV system is that it has the potential to complicate the voting procedure, which may discourage voter turnout. However, turnout this year topped 40% of registered voters, which is a significant increase compared to the 2018 mayoral election turnout of only 28% of registered voters. Additionally, the FairVote report found that more than 67% of respondents did not find the new system confusing at all, while only 6% found it very confusing. With 70% of respondents agreeing that the RCV system should be used in future election, it is unlikely that the new system will dissuade voters from participating in the future and such concerns are unfounded. This relatively seamless transition can likely be attributed to FairVote New Mexico and the city’s efforts to inform voters on the new system before election day. In addition to being satisfied with the new system, voters appear to actually be taking advantage of the opportunity to support more than one candidate with only 11.15% of respondents saying that they only voted for one candidate. As a result, Mayor-elect Alan Webber is heading into office with support from voters across the city and a mandate to serve them all well.
Ranked choice voting may be the next step in overcoming hyper-partisanship; if voters know that they have the option to support more than one candidate, there will be less pressure to adhere to political tribes for fear of “vote splitting”. This means that voters can vote in line with their actual preferences, even if that preference doesn’t belong to one of the two parties or doesn’t have their party’s nomination. Hopefully, more cities in New Mexico will follow in Santa Fe’s steps by switching to a voting system that encourages competition and gives voters a greater say in choosing their representatives.

 How independent are student newspapers across Canada? Respond in 31 sentences.

How independent are student newspapers across Canada?
In March 1994, after The Ubyssey, the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) student newspaper, ran a satirical full-page ad criticizing the UBC Alma Mater Society (AMS), the AMS fired the editors of The Ubyssey and replaced them with their own. When things fell apart, the AMS changed the locks to The Ubyssey’s office and shut down the paper. At the time, this was possible because The Ubyssey was published and funded the AMS.
In response, Ubyssey editors began gathering signatures from students to hold a referendum for a student levy that would support the revival of a new, independent The Ubyssey. The referendum passed January 1995, and the revived The Ubyssey published its first independent issue in July 1995.
Many other campus publications across Canada are still directly tied to their student governments, either through financing or governance. The Varsity examined the independence of student newspapers across Canada to see how autonomy — or lack thereof — can affect a paper’s content and operations.
Unlike The Ubyssey, the Silhouette still operates as a service of the MSU. However, the Silhouette and the General Manager of the MSU — who was one of the executives who fired the Editor-in-Chief in 2006 — are committed to the lessons learned from the situation and have been working closely together since then.
Silhouette’s main connection to the MSU is through its Board of Publication, which approves its budget and publishing schedule and acts as an arbitrator for libel law concerns. Some members of the MSU also have a say in choosing the Silhouette’s masthead, although according to the Silhouette’s Editor-in-Chief, Shane Madill, the outgoing Editor-in-Chief holds most of the power in the decision-making process.
Despite the MSU’s involvement, Madill said it does not influence the Silhouette’s content. “I have not made any decisions about content or story ideas based off of what the MSU or McMaster would approve or disapprove of,” he said.
The Gazette, the student newspaper of Western University, is owned and operated by the University Students’ Council (USC), which collects its annual student fee of $18.51 on its behalf. However, according to Gazette Editor-in-Chief Amy O’Kruk, the Gazette maintains its editorial autonomy.
The main way the Gazette achieves its independence is through its Publications Committee, an official USC committee that acts as a liaison between the Gazette and the USC. All major decisions by the USC first need to be presented to the Publications Committee, which is made up of Gazette alumni, journalists working in the field, a media lawyer, students-at-large representatives, USC representatives, representatives from the Gazette’s advertising department, and in non-voting positions, the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editors.
In O’Kruk’s five years at the Gazette, she has never seen the USC intrude upon the Gazette’s editorial independence, though she did note that Western University “essentially forced” the Gazette to pull its 2014 frosh issue from the stands because it contained a controversial “guide” to dating teaching assistants.
Now that advertising revenue is down, the Gazette relies almost entirely on its student fee. This could theoretically give the USC power over the Gazette and put the Gazette’s editorial autonomy at risk.
Queen’s University’s student newspaper, The Queen’s Journal, is financially supported by Queen’s University Alma Mater Society (AMS) and is funded through student fees and advertising revenue.
The Queen’s Journal reports its budget and goal plan to the Journal Advisory Board, which consists of the Editor-in-Chief and the Managing Editor, who share one vote on the board, Vice-President of Operations and Media Services Director of the AMS, who also share one vote, a representative from the AMS Board of Directors, two members of the Journal’s editorial board, a representative from the Society of Graduate and Professional Students, three students-at-large, the Journal’s Business Manager, who is non-voting, and the AMS General Manager, who is also non-voting.
“Our goal plan and budget go through the Journal Advisory Board for approval first and then go to the AMS Board of Directors for approval as well,” said Editor-in-Chief Joseph Cattana.
According to Cattana, decisions about the masthead or content of the Journal are made by the Editor-in-Chief and the Managing Editor, and the AMS holds no power over the masthead or content.
The Ubyssey is “super independent,” said Coordinating Editor Jack Hauen. The Ubyssey’s only ties to its student union are through an agreement to lease space in the student union building in exchange for one full-page coloured advertisement per month.
In order to avoid the perception of bias, Hauen banned Ubyssey members from ‘liking’ or ‘love reacting’ to social media posts by AMS members. However, Hauen encourages Ubyssey members to ‘friend’ members of the AMS on social media or engage with their Facebook events in order to stay as up-to-date as possible.
According to Jason Herring, the Editor-in-Chief of the Gauntlet, the University of Calgary’s student newspaper, the paper is “99 per cent” financially independent and “100 per cent” independent in terms of governance. The Gauntlet is funded by a student levy of $3.50 per student every semester, as well as through advertisements.

 I'm having trouble navigating a conflict at work. What should I say to address it in a productive way?

When addressing a conflict with a colleague, the words matter. Sometimes, regardless of how good your intentions are, what you say can further upset your coworker and just make the issue worse. Other times you might say the exact thing that helps the person go from boiling mad to cool as a cucumber.
So, when things start to heat up with a colleague — you don’t see eye-to-eye on a project or you aren’t happy with the way you were treated in a meeting, for example — how can you choose your words carefully? To help answer this question, I talked with Linda Hill, the Wallace Brett Donham Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and faculty chair of the Leadership Initiative. She is also the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader.
First, the stakes are usually high when emotions are. “With conflict, there are typically negative emotions involved, and most of us aren’t comfortable with those kinds of feelings,” she says. Our discomfort can make us fumble over our words or say things we don’t mean.
The second reason that we often say the wrong thing is because our first instincts are usually off. In fact, it’s often the words we lead with that get us into so much trouble. “That’s because too often we end up framing the issue as who’s right or who’s wrong,” she says. Instead of trying to understand what’s really happening in a disagreement, we advocate for our position. Hill admits that it’s normal to be defensive and even to blame the other person, but saying “You’re wrong” or “Let me tell you how I’m right” will make matters worse. “We’re often building a case for why we’re right. Let that go and focus on trying to resolve the conflict,” she says.
Third, there’s often misalignment between what we mean when we say something and what the other person hears. “It doesn’t matter if your intent is honorable if your impact is not,” Hill says. Most people are very aware of what they meant to say but are less tuned into what the other person heard or how they interpreted it.
The trouble is, Hill says, that we often stop people before they’ve gotten enough of the emotion out. “Hold back and let them say their piece. You don’t have to agree with it, but listen,” she says. While you’re doing this, you might be completely quiet or you might indicate you’re listening by using phrases like, “I get that” or “I understand.” Avoid saying anything that assigns feeling or blame, like “Calm down” or “What you need to understand is.” If you can do this effectively, without judging, you’ll soon be able to have a productive conversation.
Own your part. Don’t act like there is only one view of the problem at hand. “You need to own your perception. Start sentences with ‘I’ not ‘you,'” Hill says. This will help the other person see your perspective and understand that you’re not trying to blame them for the problem. Instead of saying “You must be uncomfortable”, try “I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable.” Don’t attribute emotions to other people. That just makes them mad.
Scenario #1: You have a criticism or dissent to offer. Perhaps you disagree with the popular perspective or perhaps you’re talking to someone more powerful than you.
In a situation like this, you also want to consider the venue. “You may be able to have a more candid discussion with someone if it’s one-on-one meeting rather than in front of a group,” she says.
Scenario #2: You have bad news to deliver to your boss or another coworker. You missed a deadline, made a mistake, or otherwise screwed up.
Hills says the best approach here is to get to the point: “I have some news to share that I’m not proud of. I should’ve told you sooner, but here’s where we are.” Then describe the situation. If you have a few solutions, offer them up: “These are my ideas about how we might address this. What are your thoughts?” It’s important to own up that you made a mistake and not try to point out all the reasons you did what you did.
Scenario #3: You approach a coworker about something he or she messed up.
Scenario #4: You approach a colleague about feeling mistreated or you’re upset about something he or she said.
Scenario #5: A colleague yells at you because of something you said or did.
Scenario #6: You’re managing someone who engages in conflict regularly and is annoying or upsetting the other people on your team.
Sometimes you have a hothead on your team — someone who seems to even enjoy conflict. Of course disagreements aren’t always a bad thing, but you need to help the person explore how he might be damaging his reputation and relationships. You can try something like: “I like having you around because from where I sit, you raise important issues and feel strongly about them. I also know you’re well-intentioned. I’d like to talk you about whether you’re having the impact you want to have.” Get him to think through the consequences of his regular battles.
Of course, even if you follow this advice, sometimes there just aren’t the right words and it’s not possible to have a constructive discussion. “Occasionally, you need to let it go and come back to it another time when you can both have the conversation,” says Hill. It’s OK to walk away and return to the discussion later, when you’re ready to make a smart and thoughtful choice about the words you want to use.

 What's the latest news about SpaceX?

This Feb. 6, 2018, file photo shows a Falcon 9 SpaceX heavy rocket lifting off from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The moon may soon get its first tourist — and first human visitor in more than four decades. SpaceX announced Thursday that it's booked the world's first private passenger to the moon.
Elon Musk's space technology company said on Twitter the unnamed traveler would board its BFR (or Big Falcon Rocket) to the moon, where only 24 people have ever traveled. Only 12 of those people actually walked on the moon, and they were all Americans.
The last manned flight to the moon was the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.
SpaceX didn't reveal any details about the potentially historic voyage but said it plans to reveal the traveler's identity and more on Monday, Sept. 17. The company called the plan "an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space."
Musk shared the announcement on his personal page but remained tight-lipped as well. However, when asked if the passenger was him, Musk responded with an emoji of the Japanese flag.
This isn't the first time SpaceX dabbled in lunar tourism. Musk had said in February 2017 that two people paid the company a "significant" amount of money to go on a weeklong trip around the Moon this year. However, details about the supposed trip were never revealed.
SpaceX has held a bold vision for commercial space travel. Musk said in March that the first Mars spaceship could be ready for short trips by early 2019. But he lowered those expectations in the same address, joking that "sometimes, my timelines are a little, you know..."

 Describe the story of Icelandic boy, Brynjar Karl Birgisson, who built a replica of the Titanic in Lego.

An Icelandic boy who built the world’s largest replica of the Titanic in Lego is to visit the model as it is exhibited in a museum in the US for the first time.
Brynjar Karl Birgisson originally used 56,000 bricks to make the eight-metre replica, but “after the front part broke we had to buy more, taking it to a total of around 65,000”, the 15-year-old said. Lego subsidised the build by giving Brynjar a discount on some of the bricks needed for the project.
And in a move that echoes the sinister plan of Lord Business in the plotline of The Lego Movie, the teenager has glued the model together. “One hundred twenty tubes of crazy glue were used,” he said.
The model, previously displayed in Iceland, Sweden, Norway and Germany, has travelled to the Titanic Museum in Tennessee, where Brynjar will be making an appearance on 21 April.
He said the experience had helped him with his autism. “Although I’m still autistic and will always be, I have trained myself to be ‘as normal as possible’ – whatever normal means,” he told the museum in an interview.
Brynjar has previously travelled to the US to deliver a TED talk about his autism and the Titanic replica project.
Brynjar Karl speaks at a TED event in the US about his autism and his Titanic project.
He said he recalled first playing with Lego when he wasfive, and explained that his grandfather helped him with the calculations to scale the Titanic’s plans down so that the ship would suit the 4cm Lego mini-figures.
She added that the story was an inspiration of other parents with autistic children: “When parents of autistic kids start their upbringing, they are often totally blind on what the future looks like. There are so many hindrances that their kids will have to overcome to become functional citizens.
Brynjar does not intend to follow up his Titanic success with another large-scale Lego creation. “I never build anything after the Titanic. I turned more towards exploring ships and their stories because I’m interested in becoming a captain when I grow up,” he said.

 "What recommendations does Largus T. Angenent have for reading in order to research the conversion of waste into a source of carbon for chemicals?"

Largus T. Angenent How Can Waste Be Converted Into a Source of Carbon for the Production of Chemicals?
Largus Angenent is Professor of Environmental Biotechnology at the Center of Applied Geosciences, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. Before this appointment, he was Professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. Currently, he is interested in recovering carbon with open cultures, defined mixed cultures or pure cultures of microbes. He is co-owner of several US patents and has received a number of awards and honors, for instance, the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship (2017) and the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities (2015).
Currently, the petrochemical industry uses fossil fuels as the source of carbon for the production of many things, including plastics. This is problematic because carbon dioxide adds to climate change and, in addition, fossil fuels are running out. Therefore, LARGUS ANGENENT and his research group are looking for new sources of carbon. As he explains in this video, their aim is to convert waste into the chemicals needed without adding anything to the original waste product. Specifically, they have focused on acid whey, a side product from the production of Greek yogurt. They have developed a two-phase system that allows them to convert acid whey into medium-chain carboxylic acids, their product of choice. This successful conversion from valueless waste into a useful product is an important step in the process of resource recovery.

 Have you heard the news about Jay Ajayi?

Published: Oct. 8, 2018 at 05:13 p.m.
Updated: Oct. 8, 2018 at 07:14 p.m.
Jay Ajayi wishes the Eagles had run the ball with more frequency during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Vikings.
Unfortunately, the veteran running back won't have a chance to correct that situation anytime soon.
The team on Monday placed Ajayi on injured reserve, with NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reporting the 25-year-old tore his ACL, a setback that will end his season.
#Eagles RB Jay Ajayi will have surgery to repair his torn ACL on Thursday, source said. The belief is itâs just that ligament. It occurred in pass-protection during the game and he played through it.
His absence leaves the Eagles thin at the position with just Corey Clement and Darren Sproles -- who both missed the Vikings game with injuries -- alongside Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams.
It's fair to wonder if Ajayi has played his final down in Philadelphia, with the back set to hit free agency this offseason. A fifth-round pick of the Dolphins in 2015, Ajayi logged 1,000-plus yards for Miami in his second season before landing in Philly via trade last autumn. He fit in well with the Eagles, plowing for 408 yards and a touchdown at 5.8 yards per attempt.
As for today's Eagles, one of the league's most active front offices must decide if it's time to mine the waiver wire -- or pursue a trade (read: Bell, Le'Veon) -- to galvanize a ground game that played such a massive role in the team's success a year ago.
One day after Ajayi lobbied for a larger place in the game plan, though, he's been thrust out of the picture entirely.

 Wow, 85 years together! That's incredible!

John and Ann Betar were recognized by the Worldwide Marriage Encounter in 2013 for being the unofficial longest-married couple in America.
Four years later, the couple has celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary together.
John and Ann went on their first date when they were 21 and 17 years old, respectively, in 1932.
It was only a few days later that the couple decided to elope and get married on November 25, 1932! “And they said it wouldn’t last!” John laughed all these years later. The 106-year-old is still very much in love with his 102-year-old wife.
The pair had five kids, 15 grandkids, and almost just as many great-grandchildren.
Their families came together to celebrate their milestone wedding anniversary in Connecticut.
As a special treat, the couple was surprised with a spin in the same model of car (a Ford Roadster) that they rode on their first date.
They shared a kiss in the car and lots of smiles as they remembered their very first date. “Like old times,” John told Ann.
Please SHARE this post on Facebook with family and friends if you hope to have a lasting love like Ann and John.

 Explain how Waze Carpool works, and describe the reactions the service has earned so far.

The traffic and navigation app’s companion carpool finder, to begin operating statewide Tuesday, allows users to vet matches who travel similar routes.
How do you convince people to consolidate solo commutes and trade solitude for company? Give them a few extra bucks, potentially faster trips and familiar faces in the car, according to a navigation company launching a new carpool app in Washington.
On Tuesday, Waze will launch a companion app that connects drivers with riders traveling on similar routes.
The service has been tested in Israel, Texas and California, but Washington’s expansion marks the first public launch.
Traffic Lab is interested in your experiences forming carpools. How did you go about finding fellow riders? How much time or money did you save — or spend? Or maybe you tried it, but it didn’t work out.
Contact reporter Michelle Baruchman at mbaruchman@seattletimes.com or 206-652-6588 to share your experiences.
We may publish your story as part of Traffic Lab’s coverage of commuting.
A similar app, Scoop, debuted in Seattle last April. In November, Scoop announced $36 million of venture-capital funding.
Here’s how it works: Waze Carpool suggests commuting groups based on where people work and live, and allows only between one and five minutes of added commute time.
Passengers build profiles for themselves with photos and information about employment, which Waze verifies through email. In-app chatting allows potential matches to vet each other, and a five-star rating system allows commuters to give feedback on one another.
The platform splits trips by days, so individuals can plan commutes up to seven days in advance and account for changes in schedules, such as doctor appointments or late meetings.
Users also can switch between riding and driving.
And by sharing rides, drivers and passengers might save time on their commutes by using the carpool lanes.
A passenger never pays more than 54 cents per mile, the IRS mileage reimbursement rate. Waze manages collection from riders and payment to drivers, and does not take a commission per ride.
Instead, the company makes money by displaying advertising within its app.
Waze declined to share specific numbers on usage, but Josh Fried, business head of Waze Carpool, said thousands of carpools a day have been completed in California. He’s confident in the expansion because there are about 375,000 active monthly users of the Waze navigation app in the Seattle area.
King County Metro, the Washington State Department of Transportation and other state and local agencies voiced support for the service.
With a statewide launch, Waze plans to take a hands-off approach, allowing use to grow organically. Eventually the company plans to expand across the nation.
The success of that rollout depends on individuals changing their habits.
“I want to reach a point where you would rather carpool than drive alone,” Bardin said.
He thinks such a projection is possible because Waze already has built a community of people reporting traffic conditions.

 Explain the reaction of the Bayview community to the police killing of Keita O'Neil.

To the small group of Bayview residents who braved Monday’s rain to come to the district police station, Capt. Steven Ford said he was “absolutely shocked that there hasn’t been more of an outcry and concern about” the police killing of Keita O’Neil, 42.
Officer Christopher Samayoa shot and killed 42-year-old O’Neil on Dec. 1.
O’Neil was unarmed and Samayoa was on his fourth day of the job after graduating from the Police Academy.
Ford, who as a kid passed time in the Bayview, said that he did not know why or when the Bayview had become a training station, which means recent graduates of the Police Academy are posted there.
When one attendee said he believed the community deserved to know why Bayview was a training station, Ford promised to get more information for the next meeting.
In the wake of the killing, Ford began holding meetings every other Monday where community members could discuss the killing of O’Neil. Ford said he will continue to hold the meetings until the community says they’re done.
Samayoa and the training officer he was with at the time have both been removed from the Bayview Station.
Ford said the police’s criminal investigation is now in the hands of the District Attorney.
SFPD’s Internal Affairs investigation will begin only after the District Attorney announces his decision on whether to file criminal charges — a process that has taken years in the past, despite recommendations that such investigations proceed in a more timely manner.
Ford said that while Samayoa was still in his probationary period, the investigation process is the same as for an officer involved in a shooting. However, it is unclear if Samayoa could be suspended or fired more easily because he was not yet a full-fledged officer at the time of the shooting.
Despite Ford’s willingness to keep the community informed, 57-year-old Kevin Brooks, a lifelong resident of the Bayview, said that people have lost hope in the police.
“Give them my number,” Ford told Brooks, but acknowledged the difficult task of winning the community’s trust.
A week after the killing, the SFPD showed the police body-camera footage at a town hall held in the Bayview. The footage showed that Samayoa was sitting in the passenger seat of a police car when he pointed his gun out of the window and shot O’Neil as he ran past.
O’Neil had robbed a California lottery vehicle, and police had chased him through the Alice Griffith public housing complex.
Bayview native Loretta Wilson, who has come to all four meetings, says they’ve been educational.
But while community members may be getting to know and trust Ford, it is unclear how much that trust is extended to the rest of the department.
“I feel like it’s progress, but we need more people to get involved. We need to get rid of all the bad apples,” said Brooks.
This article has been corrected. Capt. Steven Ford was not born and raised in the Bayview. The mistake was ours.
The reason there has not been a community reaction is O’Neil and him group have been making their living off the people in this area – for years! Even the jungle wanted him dead.
Capt. Ford u took over the station and didn’t know it was a training site? U didn’t know u had armed rookies – 4 days on the job? There won’t be any charges-this was justified.

 Describe openSUSE 13.1 in detail.

What's not to like about 440,000 regularly updated installations?
After eight months of planning, packaging, adding features, fixing issues, and testing, openSUSE 13.1 arrives this week in stable form. The team is happy to report that this release benefited from improvements to the testing infrastructure (the automated openQA testing tool) and much attention for bug fixing.
According to an official statement, "While a combination of over 6000 packages supporting five architectures can never be perfect, we're proud to say this really does represent the best Free Software has to offer."
The btrfs filesystem has received a serious workout and while not default, is now to be considered stable for everyday usage. Recent statistics show openSUSE having at least 440,000 regularly updated installations (for comparison, that is about twice the Fedora userbase).
This release introduces the latest OpenStack Havana with almost 400 new features. Web developers benefit from an updated Ruby 2.0 on Rails 4 with improvements from core classes to better caching in the Rails framework, and the latest PHP 5.4.2 comes with a built-in testing server.
End users can now mount Amazon s3 buckets as local filesystem and use much-improved Samba 4.1 with better Windows domains support.
"openSUSE 13.1 is rock solid. Upgraded my primary workstation when RC2 was released and have had no issues. Everyone put in a tremendous amount of effort and the community pulled together to knock it out of the park. I don't think there is any distribution that can compete on all fronts with openSUSE: performance, stability features, you name it, the release just rocks," said Robert Schweikert, SUSE engineer, openSUSE Board member and openSUSE Packager.
openSUSE is "unique" among the major Linux distributions in that it delivers all major free desktops on an equal footing — officially developed and supported. These include GNOME, KDE's Plasma Desktop (the openSUSE default desktop), Plasma Netbook, Xfce, LXDE, and E17.
openSUSE 13.1 continues to integrate work on the ARM architecture. In addition to ARMv7, openSUSE now comes with special Raspberry Pi images and a much more complete AArch64 port. Having contributed key ARMv8 technologies such as QEMU user mode support to the ARM ecosystem, openSUSE is making more than 6,000 packages for each of these new architectures available for testing.
openSUSE 13.1 includes a number of evaluation technologies, such as preliminary Wayland support with Weston compositor in GNOME Shell and KDE Plasma Desktop, as well as improved support for ultra high resolution in applications and shells. In addition, the openSUSE YaST team has ported YaST to Ruby, allowing a much wider audience to contribute to this tool.

 What is the significance of MidAmerican Energy's Wind XII project?

MidAmerican Energy is one project approval away from hitting its goal of supplying enough renewable energy to equal its customers' annual power demand, the utility announced Wednesday.
If Iowa regulators greenlight the utility's Wind XII project — a 591 MW wind investment filed the same day — the utility will be able to generate enough renewable electricity over the course of a year to match the electricity demand from its customers, though MidAmerican will still produce electricity from other sources when wind is not available.
The announcement follows a number of moves from utilities in the Great Plains to increase wind capacity. In many cases, executives say, building new wind farms in the region can be cheaper than operating existing power plants.
Wednesday's announcement marks a dramatic shift in MidAmerican's power mix. In 2004, 70% of the utility's generation came from coal and it had no wind on its system.
Today, coal is less than a third of the utility's generation, and it is preparing to site enough wind to meet its customers' annual power demand. The utility will still need other resources — like natural gas and coal plants — to supply power when wind is not available, but company leaders nonetheless treated the announcement as a major milestone.
"We have been able to invest in renewables while at the same time keeping electric rates affordable for the long term," CEO Adam Wright said in a statement, noting that the utility will not ask for a rate increase to pay for the project.
That investment is possible due to historically low prices for wind energy in the Great Plains, and MidAmerican is far from the only utility to notice. Last year, Xcel Energy CEO Ben Fowke told Utility Dive his company can often build wind projects for less than it would cost to provide fuel to its legacy plants.
"We're looking at [prices] in the low teens to low 20s [in dollars/MWh] — not starting prices, but levelized across the 25-year life of the project," he said. "That beats gas, even at today’s prices."
The MidAmerican Wind XII project is currently pending at the Iowa Utilities Board under docket RPU-2018-0003.

What is the largest country in the world based on the most suitable land area for human habitation?
Species distribution modeling (SDM) is widely used to predict suitable habitats of living organisms based on niche conservatism on the global scale.
Maxent software for modeling species niches and distributions by applying a machine-learning technique called maximum entropy modeling. From a set of environmental (e.g., climatic) grids and georeferenced occurrence localities, the model expresses a probability distribution where each grid cell has a predicted suitability of conditions for the species. For the map cells predicted using Maxent, cells with values of 1 had the highest degree of habitat suitability, while cells with values of 0 had the lowest. Habitat suitability was determined based on the climatic similarity to sites where the species already occur. The predictive precision of Maxent was based on the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operation characteristic (ROC), which regards each value of the prediction result as a possible threshold; the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were obtained through calculations. AUC ranges from 0.5 (lowest predictive ability or not different from a randomly selected predictive distribution) to 1 (highest predictive ability).
I selected towns and cities in the world with 100, 1000, 10000 and 100000 inhabitants and used 19 bioclimatic variables to model the potentially suitable environmental distribution of Homo sapiens. Bioclimatic variables were downloaded from the global database WorldClim (www.worldclim.org) at a spatial resolution of 30 arcseconds.
The MaxEnt model generated continuous probability values for the presence of Homo sapiens, ranging from 0 to 1. To delineate the presence/absence map of Homo sapiens, those continuous probability values were converted to the binary prediction based on a threshold probability value. This threshold probability was determined according to the ‘maximum training sensitivity plus specificity’ criterion.
The MaxEnt model for Homo sapiens showed a reliable prediction with an AUC of 0.684 (settlement with 100 inhabitants), 0.671 (1000) 0.709 (10,000), 0.778 (settlement with 100,000 inhabitants), greater than the 0.5 of a random model.
The most important bioclimatic variable determining the geographical distribution of Homo sapiens is bio_1 (Annual Mean Temperature).
bio_1 = Annual Mean Temperature, bio_2 = Mean Diurnal Range, bio_3 = Isothermality, bio_4 = Temperature Seasonality, bio_5 = Max Temperature of Warmest Month, bio_6 = Min Temperature of Coldest Month, bio_7 = Temperature Annual Range (BIO5-BIO6), bio_8 = Mean Temperature of Wettest Quarter, bio_9 = Mean Temperature of Driest Quarter, bio_10 = Mean Temperature of Warmest Quarter, bio_11 = Mean Temperature of Coldest Quarter, bio_12 = Annual Precipitation, bio_13 = Precipitation of Wettest Month, bio_14 = Precipitation of Driest Month, bio_15 = Precipitation Seasonality, bio_16 = Precipitation of Wettest Quarter, bio_17 = Precipitation of Driest Quarter, bio_18 = Precipitation of Warmest Quarter, bio_19 = Precipitation of Coldest Quarter.

 Describe how the Brexit negotiations could affect the NHS.

Jeremy Hunt has warned that the Tories could struggle to meet their NHS spending commitments "if Brexit goes wrong".
The Health Secretary warned that failing to secure a good deal in the upcoming negotiations with Brussels could mean he will be unable to go ahead with recruiting extra doctors.
The Government has increased the number of doctor training positions by 1,500 per year starting in 2018.
But Mr Hunt warned that would only be achievable with a good Brexit deal, telling the i newspaper: “Every one cares passionately about the NHS. They also know there’s not a magic money tree and in the end the Brexit negotiations will determine whether our economy stays strong and we can carry on putting more money into the NHS, which is what people want.
His warning is a far cry from the Leave campaign's referendum claim that withdrawing from the EU would mean a potential extra £350m a week to invest in services such as the NHS.
Elsewhere, a thinktank warned that the health service could be faced with treating tens of thousands of British ex-pats currently living on the continent.
The Nuffield Trust said that without a settlement on health costs for Britons living abroad, many could return to the UK to seek treatment.
That could mean an increase in costs from the current £500m the NHS gives to other EU countries whose health systems care for British citizens.
Under the current S1 reciprocal scheme, British pensioners can get treatment anywhere in the EU on the same terms as the local population.
A spokesman for the Trust said it was "possible" the NHS would get more money from cancelling British contributions to the EU budget.
"Whether or not these benefits will outweigh the significant staffing and financial costs Brexit may impose on already stretched services remains to be seen," he argued.
"That depends largely on the NHS being recognised as a significant priority as we enter some of the most important negotiations in Britain's history."

 What is the history of Creighton station? Respond in 4 sentences.

Creighton is a closed station located in the township of Creighton, on the North East railway in Victoria, Australia. The station had a single platform on the east side of the broad gauge line, with the standard gauge line running behind. The station opened in 1887 as "Synon's Siding", to serve a sawmill of the same name. In 1888 it was renamed "Creighton's Creek" which was then shortened to "Creighton".

 Explain Alex Azar's views on drug pricing and what his record suggests about how he might act as HHS secretary.

His record suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
President Donald Trump tweeted Monday that his nominee for HHS secretary, Alex Azar will “be a star for … lower drug prices!” But the record of the former top executive for Eli Lilly, which tripled the price of a top-selling insulin drug while he led its U.S. operation, suggests a different story.
Lilly is one of three drug companies targeted by a class-action lawsuit that accuses the company, then under Azar’s watch, of exploiting the drug pricing system to ensure higher profit for insulin and has been fined in Mexico for colluding on the pricing of the drug .
Azar, who spent almost a decade at Eli Lilly, rising to become president of the drug giant’s U.S. operations before leaving earlier this year, doesn’t deny drug costs are a consumer issue. But his record there and as a top official in George W. Bush’s administration suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
In recent years, Azar has defended pricing practices, and argued against the approaches to reduce costs to consumer s as Trump endorsed during his campaign, such as allowing the government to negotiate drug prices and importing medicines from oversees.
Instead, Azar has followed the pharma messaging playbook on drug pricing — deflecting attention to other parts of the health system, and even other countries, blaming them for the high drug costs paid by U.S. patients. He’s also justified drug prices as the cost of innovation.
Trump’s focus on drug pricing in announcing Azar’s nomination didn’t win over doubters, who no longer believe he is serious about going after the industry he once slammed as “getting away with murder.” But it will make it easier for critics to pounce on what will likely be the toughest barrier for Azar to overcome during his confirmation process in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday he will “vigorously oppose” the nomination of Azar.
“During Mr. Azar’s tenure at Eli Lilly, this multi billion-dollar corporation dodged taxes while charging Americans outrageously high prices for life saving prescription drugs,” Sanders said.
Sanders and Rep. Elijah Cummings commenced an investigation into Eli Lilly’s rising prices for insulin last year, spurring attorneys generals in Washington and New Mexico to look into the matter. The lawmakers questioned why the prices of the diabetes medicine whose main patent expired 75 years ago have seen huge jumps in recent years, with competitors often raising prices in tandem. One of Eli Lilly’s insulins, Humulin R U-500, rose 325 percent in price from 2010 to 2015.
Cummings tweeted that picking Azar is “like a fox guarding the hen house,” and a “slap in the face,” to Americans waiting for action on lower drug prices.
Azar contends the outrage over drug pricing “erupted because we have seen a complete fundamental restructuring of health insurance,” with a shift to high-deductible plans that puts the burden of drug costs on employees and individuals, he said at a conference in May.
While Azar makes a valid point, changing insurance policies without addressing drugmakers’ markups of existing drug prices, or high launch prices for new medicines, “is avoiding the elephant in the room.” said Ameet Sarpatwari, who studies drug prices at Harvard Medical School.
Even Azar acknowledged in his speech that if insurance companies reduced consumers’ out of pocket charges for medicines, those costs would show up elsewhere, likely in premium increases.
Azar has also attacked government regulators and payers for devaluing pharmaceutical innovation, suggesting that if the U.S. cuts pharma profits, it will see decreased investment in new drugs and fewer new cures.
“The narrow focus of costs of medicine to the exclusion of innovation would be self-defeating in the long run,” Azar said in a 2014 speech.
Sarpatwari worries such views will lead Azar to promote the idea that making it quicker and easier for drug makers to introduce new medicines will reduce pharmaceutical costs. Researchers have found that drug companies don’t price their products any cheaper when FDA lets them use the accelerated approval process or other tactics to speed drugs to market. Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf recently said that despite claims by the Trump administration that faster drug approvals lead to lower cost drugs, there is no direction relationship between the cost of development and price of drugs.
Nonetheless, in June, Azar told Fox Business that getting more new drugs to market to increase competition among brands would help bring U.S. prices down. Yet there’s only one example the drug industry can point to in the U.S. where brand competition has led to lower prices — and many where competitors simply raise prices in tandem. For example, Democrats recently launched a probe into the rising price of multiple sclerosis drugs where drugs introduced decades ago have raised prices to match their newer competitors.
And while Azar expresses support for competition, one of the major factors keeping generic versions of insulin off the market have been drug company tactics known as evergreening — making incremental tweaks to their insulin versions or the devices that deliver it, to extend their monopolies for decades.
An article published in The Lancet in late 2015 found that most of the recent innovation in the insulin market has centered on improvements in delivery devices, blocking generics by agents that are indirectly related to the drug.
Azar has also opposed other ideas to encourage competitive drug pricing. He’s spoken out against studies known as comparative effectiveness research, used to determine which drugs are most cost-effective for treating patients with a disease. He argues that all options should be available since different patients may need different medicines. The problem however, is that if payers must make all drugs available, they have little leverage to negotiate lower drug prices with industry.
The result is that despite Trump’s tweets praising Azar as a champion for lower costs , few fighting for lower drug prices are pinning their hopes on action by Azar.
“This nominee has impeccable big pharma credentials but non-existent credentials when it comes to concerns on drug prices,” said Peter Welch, co-chair of the House Democrats Drug Pricing Task Force.

 Describe the political situation in North Carolina involving the Bathroom Bill.

Last week, the White House issued a directive as a national response to the lawsuit and counter-suit the state of North Carolina and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have filed against each other over the infamous “Bathroom Bill,” better known as HB2, which requires that transgender people in the state use the bathroom corresponding to their biological gender assigned at birth, instead of the gender they self-identify with.
In the wake of this standoff, several other conservatively dominated states appear poised to pass similar legislation.
On Thursday, two pieces of legislation were filed seeking to challenge the authority of the federal government to intervene regarding state-sanctioned discrimination.
“We are going to do everything we can to protect our women and children,” the senator added.
The bill is on extremely tenuous ground, since Obama’s original letter offers “non-binding guidance” and explicitly lacked the force of law.
“In a time when our state is facing an unprecedented economic crisis, our lawmakers should be focused on righting the ship rather than stigmatizing transgender youth,” said Troy Stevenson, the executive director of LGBT advocacy group Freedom Oklahoma.
