 What is the Air Force doing to recruit special operators?

The Air Force has activated a new recruiting squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland’s Medina Annex in Texas, focused on sourcing candidates for its special operations career fields.
For the first time, a unit — dubbed the 330th Recruiting Squadron — will be solely dedicated to recruiting for the Air Force’s ground-based combat jobs, known as battlefield airmen, and which include the pararescue, combat control, special operations weather and tactical air control party careers.
The recruiting squadron, activated June 29, is being introduced alongside a new nine-week battlefield airmen preparatory course designed to better condition airmen before thrusting them into grueling, two-year training programs with attrition rates that traditionally exceed 75 percent.
“The driving force behind this change is a need for more operators,” Air Force Recruiting Service spokeswoman Capt. Erin Ranaweera told Air Force Times.
The Air Force’s battlefield airmen are in high demand around the world. Their footprints dot across the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where the different careers perform combat search and rescue, assault zone and airfield reconnaissance, and even close air support for other special operations forces.
And that high operations tempo isn’t expected to go away anytime soon.
The multiple pipelines to train Air Force special operators vary in length. Combat control or pararescue airmen, for instance, typically take more than two years to train up and push out to a team. During those pipelines, which include training in combat diving, high altitude parachuting, combat medicine, air traffic control and survival, the teams bleed off the bulk of their candidates to self-elimination, injuries and performance failures.
The other services’ special operations units already have separate recruiting programs to address their high failure rates, according to Col. Claude Tudor Jr., 24th Special Operations Wing commander.
The new approach marries a stricter evaluation of candidates prior to their arrival at Air Force basic training with a greater focus on mental resilience and physical strength before officially starting the pipeline.
Chief Master Sgt. Joshua Smith, a 25-year veteran of pararescue, serves as the superintendent of the new preparatory course, which began a pilot program a year ago and has completed six classes of about 100 students per class.
The individual careers have different attrition rates, but since the course was introduced, injuries have decreased by 30 percent and the production rate increased from 35 percent to roughly 57 percent for battlefield airmen as a whole.
“We created a course asking ourselves: if it was your little brother, sister, son, daughter, whatever, what would you do to prepare them for the pipeline?” he added.
Water confidence, in particular, has a steep learning curve. Underwater challenges like “buddy breathing” and “drown proofing” are difficult and dangerous for recruits to practice alone. Rather than dumping candidates into the pool to perform breath-holding tasks with instructors harassing them straight out of basic, airmen are eased into the process and taught more about their personal limits.
Additionally, during the first week of the prep course, trainees receive a baseline testing of their functional movement, body composition, and even blood work. As the course proceeds, they split their time between classes on how to build rucks, nutritional science and other life skills, and working out.
Throughout the course, character attributes of students are also logged.
“If we see a kid lacking professionalism or integrity, we can log that in a database. Over time, that creates a map of their personality,” Smith said.
Teammates also do peer reviews of one another, which is similarly added to the database.
If a student fails a test or requires counseling, those personality maps can be referenced by instructors to make a decision on whether they should proceed.
Although the battlefield airmen career fields are now open to women, none have completed a program so far.
Something that is unique about the program: the battlefield airmen careers have one of the few — possibly the only — gender neutral training facilities in the Department of Defense, according to Smith.
“All of our students sleep in the same quarters and use the same latrines, no matter what their gender is,” he said.
On top of the preparatory course, the new recruiting squadron will be comprised of 96 recruiters operating in strategic locations across the country, as well as field developers — civilian contractors who previously served as special operators.
Recruits who have potential will work with developers before shipping out to basic training. Rather than simply passing the entry-level standards of the Physical Ability and Stamina Test for their respective career field, recruits are evaluated more closely by the contractors, who must sign off before allowing a candidate to proceed.
The end result is a more thoroughly vetted trainee than what existed five years ago.
Poorly prepared trainees usually wither away in Air Force basic training, which isn’t built to sustain the physical activity levels an operator requires.
Furthermore, the developers have been known to “create tight bonds with the students they send,” Smith said.
On top of the developers, the new 330th Recruiting Squadron serves to grab more public attention through social media, recruiting videos, and arranging for operators to make appearances at triathlons or civilian obstacle course events, like Spartan Races.
“We are now sending forward the most viable candidate in probably 15 to 20 years, if not ever in history,” Smith said.
He added that the Air Force wants the battlefield airmen careers to hit a 70 percent production rate by 2020, reflecting the ever-growing need for the uniquely capable airmen.

 Describe the proposed changes to the Lafayette Home Rule Charter.

Town hall meetings are scheduled July 16-19 to explain the proposed Lafayette Home Rule Charter amendment.
Town hall meetings are scheduled next week to help Lafayette Parish residents to understand proposed changes to the Home Rule Charter.
The Lafayette City-Parish Council introduced an ordinance this week that would replace the combined council with separate city and parish councils for the first time since the two were consolidated in 1996.
The matter returns to the council July 24 for possible final action. If the council approves, voters may be asked to decide the issue Dec. 8.
At the July 10 meeting, councilmen and residents complained that they know little about the proposal.
Five town hall meetings are scheduled to help residents better understand the plan.
July 16, 5:30 p.m., hosted by District 8 Councilwoman Liz Hebert and District 6 Councilman Bruce Conque, Southside Regional Library, 6101 Johnston St., Lafayette.
July 17, 5:30 p.m., hosted by District 4 Councilman Kenneth Boudreaux, Clifton Chenier Center auditorium, 220 W. Willow St., Lafayette.
July 18, 5:30 p.m., hosted by District 7 Councilwoman Nanette Cook, Comeaux Recreation Center, 411 W. Bluebird Drive, Lafayette.
July 19, 5:30 p.m., hosted by District 3 Councilman Pat Lewis, council auditorium, City Hall, 705 W. University Ave., Lafayette.
July 19, 6 p.m., hosted by District 2 Councilman Jay Castille, Carencro Community Center, 5115 N. University Ave., Carencro.
What would the charter amendment do?
Abolish the combined nine-person city-parish council and replace it with a five-person city of Lafayette council and a five-person parish council.
Abolish the planning and zoning commission and create separate ones for the city and the parish.
Keep salaries of the city and parish councils at $30,356 a year, the same as what city-parish council members are paid today.
Not change the election or responsibilities of the mayor president.
Not deconsolidate Lafayette Consolidated Government.
Ensure only people elected by city of Lafayette voters make decisions on issues, budgets and taxes that only concern the city of Lafayette.
Abolish the Lafayette Public Utilities Authority and make the city council the governing authority over Lafayette Utilities System.
Create a separate parish council to decide parish-wide issues, such as the parish courthouse and jail, and those involving unincorporated areas of the parish.

 What has the Cambridge Analytica scandal taught us about Facebook's response?

Facebook’s claims to be outraged over the Cambridge Analytica scandal were simply hollow words in “PR crisis mode”, the academic at the centre of the dispute has told parliament.
Aleksandr Kogan, the Cambridge University researcher whose Facebook app extracted the data of millions of users from the platform, said he thought it was reasonable for the social network to continue to employ his former business partner and co-founder, Joseph Chancellor, because they do not “actually think” that his previous work was problematic.
“I think they realise that their platform has been mined left and right by thousands of others and I was just the unlucky person that ended up somehow linked to the Trump campaign, and we are where we are,” Kogan told Damian Collins, the chair of the culture, media and sports select committee, in a parliamentary hearing.
Kogan and Chancellor set up GSR in 2014, and took data from the social network for use by Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, SCL Elections. Chancellor left in 2015 to join Facebook, shortly before Kogan’s relationship with SCL ended and GSR was wound up.
Collins asked Kogan about Facebook’s response to the scandal, querying why Kogan had been attacked by the company even though his former partner continued to be employed by it.
“When Facebook’s response from their deputy general counsel describing your work as ‘a scam and a fraud’, data harvesting, and they singled you out to say that ‘you’d lied to us and violated our platform policies’, those remarks must apply to Joseph Chancellor as well,” Collins asked.
Kogan also argued that his firm did not need ethics approval from Cambridge University, still his primary employer, since “there’s no real mechanism for a company to seek ethics approval for a commercial deal.
Kogan admitted that, in transferring the data he had harvested from Facebook, he had acted against the specific words of its developer agreement. But, in a bizarre exchange with Labour’s Paul Farrelly, he argued that he had not broken the policy, because Facebook’s document did not amount to a policy.
Farrelly asked: “What’s in black and white, do you accept that you broke the terms and conditions of Facebook as laid down in black and white?
Kogan also accused the former Cambridge Analytica chief executive Alexander Nix of “total fabrication” in the latter’s evidence to parliament. Nix had claimed that GSR had not supplied Cambridge Analytica with data or information, and that none of the company’s data had come from GSR – claims that Kogan dismissed vehemently.
In written evidence submitted to the committee, Kogan also claimed that Facebook’s in-house advertising system was a more effective way of targeting individuals than using the personality data his company had collected.

 Describe the Mcity Driverless Shuttle at U-M

IMAGE: The shuttle operates from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and transports passengers from distant parking at the North Campus Research Complex. Photo by Levi Hutmacher.
The Mcity Driverless Shuttle, a research project at the University of Michigan, launched today on U-M’s North Campus.
In the project, Mcity is studying how passengers react to the driverless shuttles as a way to gauge consumer acceptance of the technology. The shuttles are equipped with on-board cameras and Wi-Fi communications to capture data generated during operation.
The Mcity Driverless Shuttle uses two fully-automated, 11-passenger, all-electric AUTONOM Shuttles manufactured by French firm NAVYA to cover a roughly one-mile round-trip route contained to the North Campus Research Complex (NCRC). The shuttle carries students, faculty and staff to the complex from more distant parking and provides easy access to the U-M/Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority bus stop at Hubbard and Hayward streets. Future plans include route expansion and accessibility research.
The research obtained from our surveys will help the industry understand the rider’s experience on the driverless shuttle as well as non-riders who interact with the shuttle as it operates on U-M’s campus.
While the shuttles will run autonomously, a conductor will be on board at all times, with the ability to immediately stop if necessary for safety reasons. Mcity’s team of safety conductors completed comprehensive training on the shuttle, both inside the Mcity Test Facility and on the route at NCRC. About 1,000 test runs were conducted inside the test facility. In total, approximately 500 hours of testing and training were completed, including 200 hours of training by the conductors.
The shuttle will run on U-M roads Monday-Friday, 9 am-3 pm, weather permitting. There will be no cost to riders, and the two shuttles will cover the route roughly every 10 minutes. Users can check the current location of the shuttles via DoubleMap. Shuttle stops are outside the Building 10 entrance on the north side of NCRC, off Plymouth Road and Huron Parkway, and on the south side of the complex, in the NC91 parking lot, just off Baxter Road.
“After over a year working in partnership with Mcity, NAVYA is pleased to join in announcing a new campus mobility research project that will deploy two new NAVYA AUTONOM Shuttles to transport students, faculty, and staff,” said NAVYA CEO Christophe Sapet.
NAVYA is an affiliate member of Mcity. The first of NAVYA’s Autonom Shuttle vehicles to operate in North America is based at Mcity, where it is used to support research and to demonstrate automated vehicle technology.

 "Hooray for our progressive CA union! Thank you, Executive Council! Sanders is clearly the best candidate to even out the playing field for students, and his inspiring progressive vision is best for all working people including faculty."

The UC-AFT council voted unanimously to endorse Bernie Sanders for president. Although our national organization has endorsed Hillary Clinton, we feel that Sanders’ position on free public higher education, Wall Street reform, universal healthcare, unions, campaign finance, and climate change represent a rare chance to push for a truly progressive agenda.
Sanders’ is the only candidate who has tied the rising cost of higher education and student debt to Wall Street. His plan pushes to increase the number of full-time faculty, reduce administrative costs, and increase spending on instruction. Many of his ideas on universities coincide with my book Why Public Higher Education Should be Free.
Some people have asked why we should tax Wall Street transactions to pay for higher education. The answer is pretty simple, each time that Wall Street crashes, tuition goes up and student debt increases. Moreover, Wall Street is now engaged in a reckless attempt to cash in on student loans by creating Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities (SLABs). If this makes you think about betting on subprime loans, it should, since the same people are trying to make money off of indebted students by pooling together risky packages of student loans.
While Hillary Clinton has also pushed for debt-free college, her program does not go as far as Sanders. Furthermore, Sanders clearly sees that very little of the progressive agenda will be advanced, if we do not change how political campaigns are funded. He seeking to create a social movement that will demand a different mode of politics, and therefore instead of asking if he can get his agenda done in the current system, we should ask can he help us create a new system.
Hooray for our progressive CA union! Thank you, Executive Council! Sanders is clearly the best candidate to even out the playing field for students, and his inspiring progressive vision is best for all working people including faculty.
Student Loan~ Best generally accepted by the federal government, this blazon of debt is acclimated for college education. Absorption ante are usually abundant lower than added forms of debt and claim periods are usually 10 years, giving the borrower affluence of time to graduate, acquisition advantageous employment, and aftereffect what they borrowed.
In best instances, this is true; at atomic it is for those with acceptable credit. Since the country suffers from aerial domiciliary debt and bodies accept struggled authoritative ends meet, the creditors accept fought aback with amends fees.

 What is Tim Berners-Lee trying to do with his new project Solid?

Tim Berners-Lee is famous for inventing the world wide web, and now he's ready to take things to the next level with an ambitious open source project called Solid. Noting that the web has become "an engine of inequity and division", Berners-Lee wants to restore the power and agency of individuals online and move the balance of power away from "powerful forces who use it for their own agendas".
Solid is not a completely new venture. Berners-Lee has been working on it for some time, and it is built on the existing web as we know it. Where it differs is that "it gives every user a choice about where data is stored, which specific people and groups can access select elements, and which apps you use". This is about decentralizing the web.
It is described as an evolution of the web, and the aim is to empower people. In a blog post revealing his idea, Berners-Lee says: "Solid changes the current model where users have to hand over personal data to digital giants in exchange for perceived value. As we've all discovered, this hasn’t been in our best interests. Solid is how we evolve the web in order to restore balance -- by giving every one of us complete control over data, personal or not, in a revolutionary way".
Data is absolutely central to Solid. It is built on the principle of "personal empowerment through data", and it's ready to take on the likes of Google, Facebook and Amazon that have come to dominate the online world -- and control huge amounts of data.
Imagine if all your current apps talked to each other, collaborating and conceiving ways to enrich and streamline your personal life and business objectives? That's the kind of innovation, intelligence and creativity Solid apps will generate.
With Solid, you will have far more personal agency over data -- you decide which apps can access it.
There is a wave of concern, and related energy, desperate for change. People want to have a web they can trust. People want apps that help them do what they want and need to do -- without spying on them. Apps that don't have an ulterior motive of distracting them with propositions to buy this or that. People will pay for this kind of quality and assurance. For example, today people pay for storage in places like Dropbox. There is a need for Solid, and the different, beneficial approach it will provide.
Because of the time and effort that will be involved in getting Solid off the group, Berners-Lee is not only taking a sabbatical from MIT, he is also reducing his involvement in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). On top of this, he has created startup called inrupt, the mission of which is "to ensure that Solid becomes widely adopted by developers, businesses, and eventually... everyone; that it becomes part of the fabric of the web".
Berners-Lee and his team acknowledge that there is a long way to go, but the same was true of the world wide web.
For some months, we've been working with talented thinkers and doers from around the globe, and distributing resources and workload appropriately. Everyone working on inrupt and Solid is incredibly dedicated to shaping the future of the web. Thanks to inrupt's resources, the Solid open-source community is becoming robust, feature-rich and increasingly ready for wide-scale adoption.
What's equally exciting is the reaction we're getting from potential partners and businesses. There's clearly a growing appetite for Solid; a recognition that Solid can free us from stifling data silos and create a blank slate for innovation. Anything we can imagine is made possible.
In the web as we envision it, there are opportunities for everyone. Entirely new businesses, ecosystems and opportunities will surely emerge and thrive. And we'll need hosting companies, application providers, enterprise consultants, designers and developers. The list goes on. But the real opportunities are all the businesses yet to be invented.
There's a long and exciting journey ahead of us all, into an unclear, but certain, future.

 Explain China's 12426 Copyright Monitoring Center and the implications of similar regulations being proposed in Europe.

Two weeks ago the Copyright Society of China (also known as the China Copyright Association) launched its new 12426 Copyright Monitoring Center, which is dedicated to scanning the Chinese Internet for evidence of copyright infringement. This frightening panopticon is said to be able to monitor video, music and images found on "mainstream audio and video sites and graphic portals, small and medium vertical websites, community platforms, cloud and P2P sites, SmartTV, external set-top boxes, aggregation apps, and so on."
When it finds content that matches material submitted to it by a copyright holder, the Center provides them with a streamlined notification and takedown machine, from the issuance of warning notices through to the provision of mediation services. The Center's technology service provider also provides platforms with filtering technology that can allow infringing materials to be blocked from upload or download to begin with, obviating the need for a separate takedown procedure.
The Copyright Society of China, which instituted the 12426 initiative, is formally a private association, and lists amongst the venture's partners American media companies such as 21st Century Fox and Warner Bros. On the other hand, the Society is headed by a representative of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and includes within its mission "to provide technical support for the government to carry out network copyright supervision according to law."
The 12426 service utilizes proprietary commercial technology for its copyright monitoring, and much of the same technology is used by Chinese Internet companies for complying with Chinese government mandates for political censorship. For example, earlier this month it came to light that the Chinese government, at least at a provincial level and possibly at a national level, requires every provider of non-residential public Wifi hotspots to monitor and record their users' activity. This is in addition to the well-documented surveillance and censorship of Chinese online platforms such as Weibo and WeChat.
Although this stifling surveillance machine is a human rights crisis in its own right for China's 720 million Internet users, it also provides a cautionary tale for the West, where copyright holder lobbyists are advocating for very similar filtering and surveillance mechanisms to be made mandatory. In that sense, China's copyright surveillance machine of today may warn of the European or American Internet of tomorrow.
For example, it is thanks to the copyright industry that German Wifi network operators are required to password-protect their networks to prevent them being used by anonymous users (who might infringe copyright). And in Europe right now, a current proposal would require user content platforms to filter uploads for material that copyright holders claim to be infringing.
This European proposal would put into place exactly the same kind of filtering that China's copyright surveillance industry provides today, repurposing technologies that the authoritarian regime also uses for the repression of political dissent. And this kind of repurposing goes both ways—technologies and legal processes developed in the first instance for copyright enforcement are also misused for political censorship and repression.
Another uncomfortable similarity between the Chinese Internet censorship regime and developments in the West is the close intermingling of public and private initiatives. Just as the Chinese Community Party sits at the head of the Copyright Society of China, so too the heavy hand of government can be found behind many notionally self-regulatory industry schemes from North America and Europe that aim to address copyright infringement. These government-led arrangements, that we call Shadow Regulation, are notoriously lacking in transparency, accountability, and user participation. The above mentioned European proposal, which pushes platforms and copyright owners into "voluntary" agreements concerning upload filtering, is a textbook case in point.
The announcement of China's government-linked 12426 Copyright Monitoring Center is absolutely chilling. It is just as chilling that the governments of the United States and Europe are being lobbied by copyright holders to follow China's lead. Although this call is being heard on both sides of the Atlantic, it has gained the most ground in Europe, where it needs to be urgently stopped in its tracks. Europeans can learn more and speak out against these draconian censorship demands at the Save the Meme campaign website.

 Explain the differences between a human driver and an autonomous racer, and why autonomous racers have not yet been able to outpace humans. Respond in 39 sentences.

Whether you like it or not, and despite incidents that show they are not ready just yet, autonomous vehicles are coming – and that includes self-driving race cars.
While we find it hard to believe that autonomous racing will take off like many tech-heads imagine, Roborace continues to test and develop its DevBot before a self-driving race series joins the Formula E calendar.
DevBot’s newest challenge saw it competing against professional drifter Ryan Tuerck on a flying lap around a street circuit in Rome.
Following a series of warm-up laps to familiarize himself with the DevBot, Tuerck was able to set a best time of 1:51.8 around the circuit. When Tuerck jumped out and the electric racer was left to its own devices, it recorded a best time of 2:18.4, more than 26 seconds slower than its human counterpart.
This isn’t the first time an autonomous racer has failed to show us humans how to quickly lap a race circuit.
Last year, Yamaha’s Motobot racing superbike was supposed to be quicker than Valentino Rossi. In the works since 2015, the self-riding bike ended up being roughly 30 seconds slower than the most prolific rider in MotoGP history.
It’s not just speed that these autonomous racers are lacking. If you remove the driver from a race car or race bike, you lose the entire battle of humans going head-to-head for supremacy behind the wheel, which in turn diminishes public interest.
“Autonomous cars are better at driving”.. riiighhhhht..
According to my experience, even trained monkeys are better at driving. The important thing is that this applies only to around 50 % of drivers (mostly woman and people above 45). Otherwise it is of course stupid and the technology for making autonomous cars better on common roads than good experienced driver is VERY far in the future.
I think it’s going to rapidly accelerate in terms of development. What makes technology interesting is how AI and machine learning can accelerate the whole process.
Think about computer games where this exact AI simulation exists, and how those racing games already work. If a 3D engine / game developer develops a platform that mimics certain parts that it the current autonomous iteration struggles with, the AI can be tested on this instead (of actual real life) in rapid successions for the AI to learn and reconfigure itself at a much much faster rate. Once a good version surfaces, it can use that build to test in real physics. What I’m mentioning is actually what’s happening already.
In games, the AI is not a real AI and the algorithm driving cars does not rely only on limited data available from simulated onboard sensors. The algorithms “know” everything about every part of track, because whole track is already mapped in detail.
And I’m not saying that machines won’t be better drivers than most people, but on normal roads, I think it is still a very distant future. This RoboDriver AI knew everything about the track, and it was “trained” for the track to go fast. It would be worthless on normal road or even on different track that would be new for it.
I was just using that as an example to get the point across. There’s a lot of development currently using Gaming engines to help machine learning. That’s the point I’m trying to make here, and whether this video with RoboDriver is as deep or shallow – I do not know, but what I do know is that the technology is rapidly growing.
For a more indepth analysis, check out ‘Autonomous-vehicle technology is advancing ever faster’ article from “The Economist” that refers to one company using “Grand Theft Auto” as an environment to test their Autonomous AI awareness AI (the sensory part). Which is very interesting, and cross research that company and how they actually use the gaming engine.
What you mention with “simulated onboard sensors) is the integration part with the actual vehicle, ; cameras, radar, lidar, sensors, dynamics and such. Not saying it’s easy, but that would be part of a later process once the AI is smart enough to figure out how to keep safe, drive and avoid obstacles for the lack of better terms.
i think its pretty hard to assume your speed (on the track) only by visual aspect and without the engine sound and gears.
So kudos to him for beating that robosh*t.
No, it’s not that difficult. Actually, it is probably easier. “Gas” pedal almost precisely sets the car’s speed, no need to worry about optimal engine speed or shifting gears. My experience comes only from comparing gas and electric carts. But from people having electric cars I heard, that they are much easier to drive and in fact after longer time they have difficulties driving normal cars smoothly, because it is more difficult.
The machine was definitely playing it safe.

 What does Joe Biden think about whites becoming a minority in America?

Joe Biden: Whites Becoming a Minority in America is a "Source of Our Strength"
According to Vice President Joe Biden, white people becoming a minority in America is "not a bad thing," rather it's "a source of our strength."
While speaking at a White House Summit in early 2015, Joe Biden brought up how America is being flooded with an "unrelenting" "wave" of immigrants, which he says we should be "proud of."
"It's not going to stop," Biden said. "Nor should we want it to stop. As a matter of fact, one of the things I think we can be most proud of."
"An unrelenting stream of immigration. Nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 we'll be an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock. That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength."
Video of the Biden's comments were only just recently posted to YouTube.
Whites are projected to be a minority anywhere from 2030 to 2050, not by 2017 as Biden stated. In terms of births, white babies became a minority in 2014.
As I reported in June, the most common age for whites is 56, whereas for Hispanics it's 9.
If you want an idea of what the country will look like in 15 or so years when whites are the minority, just take a look at the recent riots in Milwaukee, where it's already happened.
If Joe Biden believes whites becoming a minority is a "good thing," he should demand his own grandkids attend schools where whites are the minority.

The Garo drama franchise has a dark story that revolves around humans that have the job of "Makai Knights," people who fight against demonic beings called Horrors. The story of the anime begins when the King's adviser launches a witch hunt, which endangers the Makai Knights and Makai Priests, who are supposed to protect people. A Makai Priest who has been condemned to die at the stake gives birth to a child, Leon Lewis. The child is rescued by his father, a Makai Knight, but never meets his mother. When he grows up he inherits the Gold Armor as a descendant of the Gold Knights. Meanwhile the king's adviser has taken over the country as the king has become ill, and Prince Alfonso has been driven out with his mother. He comes seeking the legendary Gold Knight in hopes of retaking his kingdom.
The Garo Project began in 2005, with the first series airing into 2006 with 25 episodes. The franchise has had a total of four television series and various films and specials.

 Describe the approach to urban transportation taken by former New York City transport commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.

“I remember, hours and hours before it opened, being out on the streets with my team and looking around, thinking, ‘What if no one shows up? What if this is a disaster?’,” said Sadik-Khan, who was Bloomberg’s transport commissioner from 2007 until he left office in 2013.
Sadik-Khan remains best known for the rapid rollout of around 400 miles of cycling routes during her six-and-a-half years in charge of the $2bn (£1.4bn) annual budget of New York City’s Department of Transportation, and the later opening of the Citi Bike cycle share scheme.
But in parallel she also oversaw a series of new rapid bus routes and the carving out of dozens of pedestrianised plazas from space previously reserved for cars, including the initially controversial remodelling of Times Square.
Sadik-Khan now advises other cities how to follow suit via the ex-mayor’s self-styled philanthropic consultancy, Bloomberg Associates. She has also condensed her vision into a book, Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution.
She describes the approach as re-writing “the operating code of the street”. It is a perhaps uncomfortable philosophy for those, like previous generations of New Yorkers, used to being able to drive and park their cars more or less where they choose.
Urban transport is, Sadik-Khan argues, amid a “Copernican revolution” in which streets are remodelled around human beings, whether walking, cycling or on buses, rather than alone inside a speeding metal box.
“In the United States we spent the last century building our cities around the car, but we damaged our cities in the process and were really getting diminishing returns on that investment,” she said.
The intention under Bloomberg, she says, was “kind of flipping the script in how our streets were designed and who are they designed for”.
Such a revolution was, inevitably, not without controversy. All sorts of local lobby groups battled plans for separated cycle lanes, most famously over one eventually built outside Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, a route once described as “the most controversial slab of cement outside the Gaza Strip”.
A good deal of the obloquy focused personally on Sadik-Kahn, even though her strategy came from Bloomberg’s PlaNYC, his 2007 vision for making an expanding city more green and liveable. But she came to exemplify his shift on cycling issues, which had seen little focus under his first transport commissioner, Iris Weinshall.
Some critics labelled Sadik-Khan “brusque” and uncompromising; others wondered whether such labels tend to stick more easily to the relatively rare women in positions of power.
“It’s fair to say that I grew a second skin over the course of six-and-a-half years,” she said. “There’s 8.4 million people in New York and I sometimes felt there were 8.4 million traffic engineers.
These days, she says with some justified satisfaction, polls show the changes are generally popular with New Yorkers. Other statistics are impressive, too.
Sadik-Khan’s old department produces a simple and illustrative graph plotting the changing risk of injury when cycling in New York against the number of cyclists doing it. From 2007 onwards the two lines diverge at steep angles. Even as cyclist numbers have more than doubled, the number of serious injuries has actually fallen.
Fittingly, as the employee of a billionaire entrepreneur, she sees such changes as not so much socially just as economically vital: “Transportation is not an ideology, it’s not a left or right thing. It’s about taking a look at the capital asset we have and using it in the most effective way possible.
“For so long the way we measured transportation, the way we measured our streets, had been about the flow of traffic, how fast was traffic going, which ignores all the other ways a street is used.
In her new role Sadik-Khan has advised cities including Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Detroit. One of her key messages, she says, is that radical changes need not necessarily take a long time or a big budget, or even a mayor like Bloomberg.
“There’s no question having a strong leader does help in establishing that vision, and supporting change when the status quo blowback begins,” she said. “But in New York we fundamentally rewrote the operating code of the streets, not with mega-projects and billions of dollars, but by adapting the space that was already there.
“That’s a really important lesson in many, many cities: you don’t have to have the most visionary mayor, you don’t have to have a billion-dollar budget, you don’t have to have years and years of modelling. Just by adapting the space that’s there you can make a huge difference.
“A lot of cities are wary of trying things, as they’re afraid they might not work. But there’s a lot you can do with paint, and planters and stones from old bridge projects. We closed Broadway from Times Square in a few months using only the materials we had in the transportation department’s arsenal.
An example of this was the part-pedestrianisation of Times Square from 2009, achieved through the simple measure of blocking off Broadway with orange barrel-bollards. Even here, she recalls, there was space for last-minute improvisation.
The near-400 folding chairs, bought from a local hardware shop for about $11 each when more permanent street furniture failed to arrive on time, showed the fundamental adaptability of New Yorkers, Sadik-Khan said.
“Again, the inspiration came out of necessity. But putting out those $11 beach chairs on Times Square was an interesting moment. People came out, and all people talked about was those chairs – the colour, the design. Not that we’d closed Times Square to cars.

 Describe the reaction to the cancelling of a planned French wind farm at the site of a World War I battlefield.

Canberra Tuesday welcomed as "very touching" the scrapping of a planned French wind farm on the site of a World War I battlefield where thousands of Australian soldiers died.
French energy company Engie Green had planned to erect turbines on the grounds of the former Bullecourt killing fields in northern France, where some 10,000 Australians were killed or wounded in 1917.
Many bodies were never found, and the planned site for the wind farm is a natural burial ground near the Bullecourt memorial that is visited regularly by Australian families.
"This is wonderful news for every Australian and especially those with a family connection to the Battle of Bullecourt," Veterans' Affairs Minister Dan Tehan said in a statement.
"The Engie group has listened to the concerns of the Australian people and they have acted with empathy by cancelling this project."
Tehan told Sky News he was also grateful for the efforts of the French government, saying it showed "how the French still, 100 years on, take so importantly what Australians were prepared to do for them".
"From the local mayor right through to the minister for veterans' affairs, they all referred to the diggers and the legacy of the diggers ... it's very touching for all Australians."
Diggers is Australian military slang for the nation's wartime soldiers, and reflects the digging that troops on the frontline did to create trenches.
The family of one of the fallen, Valentine Starkey, who died aged 23 in the second battle of Bullecourt, said it was "heart-warming" that a small group of Australians and French were successful in lobbying against the wind farm.
"They've had petitions, even the mayor of the local area ... was against this," Ashley Starkey, the great-great nephew of Valentine, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday of the support from French locals.
He said some Bullecourt residents had already been campaigning against the wind farm proposal for at least a year on behalf of the soldiers' families.
"They're not against wind farms, and neither am I, they just didn't want them on this specific battlefield," he added.

 Describe a skateboarding video that showcases a heavy skater.

I wonder how challenging it would be to do tricks that are “heavy” in the skate lingo sense while also being heavy in the literal sense. Skating with chub adds a layer of difficulty to everything, so we figured it was time to show some love to the heavy hitters out there doing heavy tricks, heavily.

 Explain why Malta and Monaco are attractive to blockchain and cryptocurrency companies.

Very few countries are openly friendly to cryptocurrency companies as of right now. The lack of clear regulatory guidelines makes this particular industry difficult to navigate. Malta seems to become the go-to place for companies involved in cryptocurrency as of right now. Monaco is the latest country to set up shop in this country.
Most people know by now how Binance is moving to Malta. The cryptocurrency trading platform has big expectations following this migration. It is evident the country is a lot more open-minded when it comes to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Binance is not the only company trying their hand at moving to this country, though.
It seems Monaco, a relatively new cryptocurrency company, contemplates a similar move. For now, they are looking into tackling this market sooner or later. It will take some time to successfully do so, but the plan is set in motion. Whether or not this means Monaco will launch a new office or permanently move to Malta, remains unclear at this point.
This decision makes a lot of sense as well. Monaco and Binance are part of a strategic partnership. With the exchange gaining a foothold in the country, it is evident Monaco can benefit from that particular development as well. Malta is certainly getting a lot of attention from blockchain and cryptocurrency companies right now. A positive development, especially given the vision of the country’s prime minister.
During a recent political meeting in Malta, prime minister Muscat made it clear how he envisions the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Contrary to what people may expect, he is quite open-minded toward both industries. In fact, he is confident the country needs to take the first step to properly regulate these industries in the coming months.
It is evident Binance is not the first company to “migrate” either. There has been an interest from other companies as well, according to Muscat. However, none of them are on the same level as the popular exchange right now. These companies want to come to Malta because is ready to offer regulation. The country’s clear plan of action is a positive development for the industry as a whole.
All of this shows regulatory measures will be beneficial to cryptocurrency and blockchain as a whole. Muscat is confident he can bring this industry on par with the financial and Igaming industries in the country. Assuming that promise holds up, positive things are bound to happen for companies such as Binance and Monaco. The jobs created by all of these companies will help boost the local economy as well.

 Describe the debate between Republican candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney over immigration. Respond in 955 words.

(CNN) - Newt Gingrich responded to criticism from rival Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney over immigration by detailing his plan and attempting to show inconsistencies in the former Massachusetts governor's record with an abbreviated quote.
Gingrich, the former House speaker, sent his Twitter followers two links Wednesday, one to a page of his campaign website detailing his 10-step plan and another to a 2007 interview with Romney. The interview, conducted when Romney was governor, shows the two-time presidential candidate saying the illegal immigrants currently in the United States should "be able to stay, sign up for permanent residency or citizenship."
The link to the video was accompanied by a Tweet from Gingrich that read "Here's a trip down memory lane … So what's your position on citizenship for illegals again? (I oppose it.)"
However, the clip does not reflect his full point or the end of his sentence. A more complete video provided by the Romney campaign shows the candidate went on to say "but they should not be given a special pathway, a special guarantee that all of them get to stay here for the rest of their lives merely by virtue of having come here illegally."
The back and forth on the issue started at Tuesday night's CNN National Security Debate when Gingrich advocated for a "humane" approach to illegal immigration.
"If you've come here recently, you have no ties to this country, you ought to go home, period," Gingrich said. "If you've been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, you've been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I don't think we're going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out."
Fellow White House hopefuls Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Romney jumped on the comments equating them to "amnesty," which Romney said is a "magnet."
"Programs that have said that if people who come here illegally are going to get to stay illegally for the rest of their life, that's going to only encourage more people to come here illegally," Romney said. "The right course for our immigration system is to say we welcome people who want to come here legally."
Romney also said other magnets, like in-state tuition for illegal aliens and employers who knowingly higher illegal workers, should be stopped.
However, Gingrich did not back down amid the charges on or off the stage, instead saying he was "prepared to take the heat for saying let's be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship, but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families."
Gingrich's plan includes securing the border, updating the visa system and legal guest worker program, as well as creating an earned path to citizenship for the millions currently in the U.S.
- CNN's Steve Brusk and Jim Acosta contributed to this report.
We are a nation of law (or are supposed to be).
I think that we need to fix our legal immigration issues and secure our borders. Any illegals that are given citizenship should not collect SS, that should go to people who have actually paid into the SS system. Any illegals that commit crimes should be deported, no questions asked. Whether we like it or not, America does need cheap labor. From slavery up to present time, our economy needs the cheap labor. We need to hammer the employers that employ illegals hard. We cannot rise as a country when all some people want to do is drag us to the bottom. I think the American work ethic remains strong but it is degraded by people willing to cheat and bypass the current system in order to make a buck!!!
It's funny how Republicans regard every good thing as bad, and everything bad as good. Here, they're attacking each other by accusing their opponents of having done something good for somebody, for not being enough of a jerk. They try to one-up each other by declaring themselves to hate Mexicans even more, vowing to abuse them in every manner possible. What does this say about the debased people they're pandering to? Should people with such twisted morality really be in charge?
Wow Doug, shame on the President for calling the people who said 3 years ago that their number one job was not legislating for the good of all Americans but to see that our President failed to bring us out of the crisis that we are in and have since worked 24/7 towards that goal, shame on him for calling them the enemy? They have worked harder than the Taliban to bring this administration, and hence, the country, to it knees so shame on Biden for calling them terrorists? It's said that actions speak louder than words yet you are ignoring the actions of the Republicans to focus on two words, two true words at that.
Willard pretty much sums up the intellect (or gross lack thereof) of the typical right-winger.
Romney, "flawless integrity"??? And Herb Cain had the audacity (as well as stupidity) to call Democrats "brainwashed"? It's just shameful how insanely ignorant right-wingers are. How do they even remember to breathe? I wish they'd forget.
Gingrich and Memory Lane: A nasty bum like Newt would do well to stay off that street, with his history.
Legalized all immigrants they worked hard for it, stop blaming illigals for the problems in this country blame the white man for stealing for so many years from the people like the enron co. And so many others.
Hey Donkey Party. Mitt Romney's intellect is sky high.
To graduate from Harvard with top honors in both business AND law speaks volumes.
