Neo Ntsoma

Neo Ntsoma (born 27 December 1972) is a South African photographer known for her photojournalism, portraiture, music and popular culture photography. Born in Vryburg and brought up in the rural areas of Mafikeng in the North West Province, her fascination about films was triggered at an early age. Growing up in the apartheid era and seeing the negative portrayal images of black South Africans and the lack of participation of black women in a media industry dominated by white males, this reinvigorated her to want to make change, however it was not an easy dream to fulfill due to race restrictions at the time. Ntsoma attended St Mary's High School where she would be introduced to music, dance and drama, this is where she knew her career path was different from her peers. Despite several setbacks throughout her life she kept on pursuing her dream of being a photographer and succeeded. Ntsoma is known for her photographs that stand out for the odd angles from which they are taken and the way she plays with what is in focus in the photos and what is not. Besides being a photographer she has become an enthusiastic mentor for young photojournalists.
Early years
Born in Vryburg and brought up in the rural areas of Mafikeng in the North West Province. Ntsoma is last of the third children born to Olefile Ntsoma and Nomalanga Maria Ntsoma née Hlabangane. Photography is a profession she fell into by accident, a profession not known for black women at that time. Ntsoma began her studies at Peninsula Technikon in 1992. Her initial interest was in Film and Television. she never picked up a camera prior to her enrolment at the Technikon. She later moved to Pretoria Technikon between 1994 and 1995 to further her studies specialising in Fashion and Advertising although she was denied the opportunity to graduate.
Career
Despite challenges and setbacks on her journey, in 1998 Ntsoma became the first black woman photographer to work for one of the biggest newspapers in South Africa, The Star. Although Ntsoma never felt discriminated by her colleagues whom were mainly white and male, she felt the need to constantly prove herself to gain the recognition in the industry. As Ntsoma explains in her artistry statement,
I used to take pictures to make people believe in me. Now, I take pictures to make people believe in the subject of my photographs. My aim is to share my point of view about something, and also what I am feeling about it. But what's important for me is to capture the spirit and soul of the subject I am photographing.
Between 2002 and 2003, Ntsoma's involvement with Majority World began when she was a tutor at Pathshala South Institute of Photography in Bangladesh, which was led by Shahidul Alam. Alam assisted with publicizing work of artists from majority world countries, which included Africa. Majority World publicized her work and gave her opportunities to showcase them in exhibitions and publications globally. Ntsoma mentioned, "I can proudly say that people know of my work in countries that I cannot even read the language."
In 2004, Neo Ntsoma became the first woman recipient of the Mohamed Amin Award, the CNN African Journalist of the Year Photography Prize for her photo essay entitled, 'Their World in Flames'. Over the years her career has also spanned to fine arts and celebrity photography.
Ntsoma co-authored Women by Women: 50 Years of Women's Photography in South Africa with Robin Comley, George Hallett, and Penny Siopis. It was commissioned by the South African Ministry of Arts and Culture as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1956 women's march on the Union Buildings.
In 2007, Ntsoma founded Neo Ntsoma Productions, a visual communications and production company owned and managed entirely by black women. Ntsoma's team consists of photographers, video technologists, editors, visual communication strategists, writers, and consultants who work in industrial and corporate sectors alike. The company also provides entrepreneurial workshops and private mentorship programs for aspiring photographers.
In 2018 photojournalist, Neo Ntsoma was part of a discussion, along with fellow panelist, on development on the African continent - at the Yale University Art Gallery.

William Bell (artist)
|
William Bell (1734/5 - 1794) was an English painter who specialised in portraits. A prize-winning student at the Royal Academy of Arts, influenced by Sir Joshua Reynolds, he achieved eminence in his native area, the North East of England. His best-known works are portraits of Sir John (later Lord) Delaval and his family, which are in the collection of the National Trust at Seaton Delaval Hall, Northumberland. Bell's portrait of Robert Harrison, 1715–1802, is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Early life
The son of a well-regarded bookbinder, Bell was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1734/5. His father, also called William, had at least eleven children; but the only son who certainly survived to adulthood was William. The young William Bell grew up during a period when Newcastle's cultural and intellectual life was flowering. As a young adult, he may have started out as a house-painter, but by the early 1760s, he was established as an artist and married.
Career
Bell's career was assisted by the founding of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768. On 30 January 1769, aged 34, he was one of the first six students admitted to the Royal Academy Schools, where promising young artists could work in London under the direction of master painters. In that same year, he entered the annual competition run by the Academy. His picture did not win, but he tried again in 1771 and was awarded a gold medal, which was presented to him by Sir Joshua Reynolds, the president of the Academy. The Newcastle Courant of Saturday 4 January 1772 reported his success thus: “We hear from London that Mr William Bell, son of Mr William Bell, Bookbinder of this town, has had the honour of receiving his Majesty's premium of a gold medal, value 20l, at the Royal Academy, for the best composition and painted historical picture; the subject Venus intreating Vulcan to forge the armour of Aeneas.”
No student of the Royal Academy, having won one of its medals, was permitted to enter the same competition again. Hence further prizes had to be sought from other institutions. In 1772, Bell was awarded 20 guineas for "best historical painting" by the Society of Arts, which had been offering such prizes since 1754.
While he was studying in London, Bell spent periods in his home area, painting for Sir John Delaval. His most significant project was a series of portraits. The earliest (in 1770) were of Lady Susanna Delaval, Sir John's wife, and their two eldest children, John and Sophia. In the following year, daughters Frances and Sarah were depicted together. Later, in 1774, Bell painted portraits of Sir John and his daughter Elizabeth, thus completing a full family set. All the portraits were life size and full length, for display in the entrance hall of Seaton Delaval Hall, the Delavals’ principal residence, ten miles from Newcastle.
During the following two years, Bell exhibited paintings in London. In 1775, the Royal Academy showed a pair of pictures, depicting Seaton Delaval Hall from the north and the south, and the following year the Free Society of Artists exhibited Susanna and the Two Elders. Like Bell's earlier prize-winning works, this was a large historical picture. It was the last that he painted in London.
For the next eighteen years until his death, Bell based himself permanently in the North East of England and specialised in intimate portraits, limiting his work to local commissions. His sitters included a number of distinguished people: Thomas Bewick, the engraver, "in the style of Rembrandt"; Joseph Austin, the actor-manager of the Newcastle Playhouse; Robert Harrison, the mathematician and linguist; Francis Peacock, Grand Master of the St. John Masonic Lodge, Newcastle; and John, the son and heir of Newcastle's most gifted goldsmith, John Langlands, who was a generous benefactor to the city. Bell was painting successfully into the 1790s, and died on 8 June 1794 in the Newcastle Infirmary, aged 60. He was buried on 10 June, at St Andrew's Church, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Association with the Delaval Family
A crucial influence in Bell's life was the patronage offered by Sir John Delaval. Delaval was a successful businessman, whose family owned several country estates (Ford and Seaton Delaval in Northumberland; Doddington in Lincolnshire) and leased a residence in central London (Grosvenor House). For a considerable period of the 18th century, the family engaged artists to produce portraits and tutor young Delavals (some of whom were quite gifted at art); among these artists was Bell, who formed a particularly strong connection with the family.
Bell was the beneficiary of John Delaval's fondness for projects. After Delaval was made a baronet in 1761, this took the form of showcasing his growing wealth and prestige by upgrading his properties. He added to the array of family portraits at Doddington Hall, employing prestigious painters such as Joshua Reynolds. Then, at the end of the 1760s, he turned his attention to Seaton Delaval Hall and employed William Bell to help him realise his plans. John Delaval was sufficiently impressed with Bell's work to offer him an annual income of £50 (about £9000 in today's money) and a cottage to live in. Bell thus effectively became Delaval's staff artist, painting on a grand scale and acting as drawing master for his children. A significant further benefit for Bell was that, when he was studying and painting in London, he was able to live at Grosvenor House, the Delavals’ metropolitan residence.
This patronage, coupled with Bell's studentship at the Royal Academy, led to a somewhat itinerant existence for several years, lodging as necessary in London but returning regularly to his own cottage, 300 miles away in Northumberland. Initially he lived in a property right next to Seaton Delaval Hall; by 1777, he was at Fountain Head, a small clutch of properties within walking distance of the Hall, on the bank leading down to the sea. In this rural setting, his wife Elizabeth had three children: Elizabeth (born 1773), Frances (born 1775) and Sarah Ann (born 1777); and here the family put down roots.
Bell became well known in the community and was eventually regarded as something of a dignitary, "Mr. Bell." Famously he had used several local people as models for figures in his award-winning painting in 1771. Most strikingly, Vulcan, the forger of armour, was based on the blacksmith, Willie Carr. At 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 24 stones, he was renowned for his great strength. Carr and Bell were both on good enough terms with Sir John Delaval to be his dinner guests.
Retreat from London
Bell's career reached a turning point in about 1775. By the end of his studentship at the Royal Academy (assuming that it lasted a typical six years), he had made less of a mark in London than several of his peers: he had not exhibited many pictures at the Academy, nor had he been elected one of their Associates. His options for further advancement were to take up an offer from Sir Joshua Reynolds to become one of his regular assistant artists painting draperies, to aim for independence, or to rely on continuing patronage.
He chose the last of those options. However, it was not without complications, because his patron, Sir John Delaval, was soon precipitated into a rather turbulent period. In July 1775, Delaval's only son, Jack, died suddenly at the age of 19, and thus ended the squire's hope of passing on his estates to an heir. Then, by the end of the year, a long-running family dispute over property left Sir John angry with a brother who lived in London. This seems to have made it less comfortable for Bell to stay at his patron's residence, while in the capital. During the exhibition season of 1776, Bell lodged “At Mr. Thickbroom, Organ Builder, New Round Court, Strand”, and thereafter he made no further effort to pursue a career in London.
Bell returned to his cottage in Northumberland, and remained in the employ of Sir John Delaval, without (as far as is known) producing any further major works for Seaton Delaval Hall. However he (Bell) produced two paintings for the St. John Masonic Lodge, Newcastle, which opened in 1777. Since Sir John Delaval was an influential freemason, it is likely that he had a hand in this commission.
In late 1778, Bell oversaw the preparation of two engravings for William Hutchinson's book, A View of Northumberland. This illustrated guide to stately homes included a eulogistic description of "the seat of Sir John Delaval", accompanied by two views of the Hall, based on the oil paintings that Bell had exhibited in London in 1775.
During the following two years, Bell remained on the staff of Seaton Delaval Hall. There is no trace of any work from this period.
Second Period in Newcastle
During 1781 or early 1782, Bell moved to Newcastle. This followed his father's death in 1780, and his decision to set up his own business as a portrait painter may well have been made possible by receiving an inheritance.
Also establishing himself in Newcastle at this time was Thomas Bewick, the engraver, who formed a friendship with Bell. Bewick would later write in his memoirs that he was “long acquainted with Wm Bell, Portrait painter &c he was, as a painter, accounted eminent in that profession.” To know Bewick was to belong to a wide social circle, which also included Joseph Bell (not known to be a relative of William), who had established a business in Newcastle as a painter and decorator in 1768, and then in 1778 moved to bigger premises in a yard next to the Nun Gate on Newgate Street, where his business thrived. When William Bell arrived in Newcastle, he chose to work at the same address, and probably used Joseph as his supplier of paints.
William Bell's premises were in an attractive part of town, which housed a host of skilled tradesmen, vendors and professionals. He conducted business from his studio in Newgate Street until at least 1793, and probably for the rest of his life. During that time, he developed his own style of rather less formal portraits. However, painting portraits never proved hugely lucrative, and he supplemented his income in several ways.
Firstly, he taught drawing. This was done at a separate Newcastle address, the Back Row, although that fact was not advertised in the local trade directory, where he was listed as a portrait painter and teacher of drawing at the same address.
Secondly, he copied paintings. One example is a commission in 1788 from John (now Lord) Delaval to produce small-scale versions of some of the family portraits that Bell had painted years earlier for Seaton Delaval Hall. The copies are mentioned in a letter written to Delaval at his London address by his manager in the North East: "Last Wednesday the bottle sloop Good Intent sailed, and has on board 14 pairs of young pigeons in 2 cages, and two small whole-length pictures that Mr. Bell was painting when your lordship was down; the other of Mrs. Jadis which he had into Newcastle to copy is not done that I hear of, as he was to let me know when it was finished, to be sent with the others." It is interesting to note that, although no longer on the pay-roll of Seaton Delaval Hall, Bell was still being given occasional work by Lord Delaval.
Thirdly, Bell restored pictures. This may not have been a regular occupation, but it is on record that after a fire in Newcastle's Guildhall in 1791 he repaired portraits of King Charles II and James II.
Bell ended his life well respected in his home area. The medal he had won in 1771 became a renowned trophy in Newcastle, as indicated by the detailed eye-witness description of it given in 1789 by John Brand, a local historian. It weighed, he said, about four ounces. On one side was the head of King George III, on the other a representation of Minerva directing a youth to the Temple of Fame, accompanied by the motto “Haud facilem esse viam volvit.” Under that was the awarding body: “R. Ac. Instituted 1768”. Inscribed around the edge was the credit: “To William Bell, for the best historical picture, 1771.”
Four days after Bell's death in 1794, the Newcastle Courant (14 June) carried this tribute: "DIED, Sunday morning, Mr William Bell, an eminent Portrait Painter, whose memory will be esteemed as long as his animated productions remain, many of which bear testimony to his abilities in this part of the kingdom".
A generation later, an assessment of Bell's final period in Newcastle was offered by Eneas Mackenzie, a local historian, who wrote that Bell was “but indifferently supported, though his portraits were extremely accurate and beautifully finished.”

Weißenberg (Frankenweide)
|
The Weißenberg in the Palatine Forest is a hill in the municipality of Merzalben (Südwestpfalz county, Rhineland-Pfalz). Its height is variously give as or . The higher value has been officially recommended since 2011. That makes the Weißenberg the highest point in the west of the mountain range, ahead of the Eschkopf and Mosisberg (each ). As part of the Palatine Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve it is protected by special conservation measures.
Geography
Location
The Weißenberg lies in the central Palatine Forest in the Palatine Forest Nature Park. It rises about 6.5 kilometres east-northeast of Merzalben and eight kilometres north of Hauenstein near the Wilgartswiesen hamlet of Hermersbergerhof. It does not have a single peak, but a saddle-shaped summit running in a north-south direction. The southern peak is 609.9 m high, and the northern peak, 280 metres away, is 609.1 m high.
The hill is part of the Frankenweide, a central massif in the Palatine Forest, and is the southernmost in a row of four summits, all above 600 m in height. To the north, in sequence, are the Hortenkopf (606 m), the Mosisberg and the Eschkopf (each 609 m).
Isolation and prominence
The nearest peaks that are higher than the Weißenberg are the Roßberg (637 m) and the Steigerkopf (613 m) mountains; they are 15 kilometres away as the crow flies in the Haardt on the eastern edge of the Palatine Forest. Thus the Weißenberg has a relatively high isolation. In addition, the Weißenberg is not an isolated individual summit, but part of an elongated ridge that runs through the interior of the Palatine Forest in various directions and is a key feature of its relief.
If one draw a line of the greatest possible height (the ridgeline) to the next highest summit, this turns out to be the Steigerkopf at 613 m. The lowest point on this line is the saddle at Heldenstein Forestry Lodge at 472 m. The difference between the elevation of the Weißenberg summit and this saddle represents the prominence of the hill i.e. 138 m. This relatively low value is due to the morphological structure of the central Palatine Forest described above. For example, it is possible to walk from the Weißenberg to Leimen, Kaiserslautern-Mölschbach, Elmstein and via the forester's lodges of Taubensuhl and Heldenstein almost as far as the town of Neustadt on ridges without dropping below the 450 metre contour line.

Michael D. Bess (born 1955) is Chancellor's Professor of History, as well as Professor of the Communication of Science and Technology, and Professor of European Studies, at Vanderbilt University, where he has been teaching since 1989. He is a specialist in twentieth- and twenty-first century Europe, with a particular interest in the interactions between social and cultural processes and technological change.
He earned his PhD in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989.
His fifth and most recent book is Planet in Peril: Humanity’s Four Greatest Challenges and How We Can Overcome Them (Cambridge University Press, October 2022). This study focuses on the existential risks posed by climate change, nuclear weapons, pandemics (natural or bioengineered), and artificial intelligence – surveying the solutions that have been tried, and why they have fallen short thus far. Bess describes a pathway for gradually modifying the United Nations over the coming century so that it becomes more effective at coordinating global solutions. The book explores how to get past ideological polarization and global political fragmentation, drawing lessons from the experience of the environmental movement and of the European unification movement.
He is also the author of four other books:
• Our Grandchildren Redesigned: Life in the Bioengineered Society of the Near Future (Beacon Press, 2015);
• Choices Under Fire: Moral Dimensions of World War II (Knopf, 2006);
• The Light-Green Society: Ecology and Technological Modernity in France, 1960-2000 (U. of Chicago Press, 2003; French Translation, 2011, Champ Vallon), which won the George Perkins Marsh prize (2004) of the American Society for Environmental History; and
• Realism, Utopia, and the Mushroom Cloud: Four Activist Intellectuals and Their Strategies for Peace, 1945–1989. Louise Weiss (France), Leo Szilard (United States), E.P. Thompson (England), Danilo Dolci (Italy) (U. of Chicago Press, 1993).
He is currently at work on three book projects:
• Overflowing Goodness: How to Improve the Lives of Two Billion People (without harming anyone else) – a study of world poverty and how it could be dramatically reduced via a Guaranteed Minimum Income system implemented at a global scale.
• Strong Seeds: Human Flourishing and the Power of Seemingly Small Acts – an exploration of what makes for a life well lived, at four levels of experience and action: personal, national, global, and spiritual.
• What Makes Us Human? From Neurons to the Sistine Chapel – a synthesis of contemporary research on human nature and personhood, probing the boundaries between animals, humans, and advanced informatic machines.
Awards, Fellowships, and Teaching
Bess has received fellowships or grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Institutes of Health / National Human Genome Research Institute, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Fulbright research grants program, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
Bess has been teaching at Vanderbilt since 1989. He offers undergraduate courses on the history of environmentalism; human flourishing; the societal and moral implications of human bioenhancement; World War II; science and technology studies; the nature of human agency in history; as well as general survey courses on Europe Since 1900, and Western Civilization Since 1700. His graduate courses include seminars on World War II, Leonardo da Vinci, and a semester-long workshop to train graduate students for teaching history at the college level.
Bess has won the Jeffrey Nordhaus Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the Ellen Gregg Ingalls Award for Excellence in Classroom Teaching, and the Vanderbilt Chair of Teaching Excellence.

The main aim of the station is to increase social conditions and health within the broadcast area, which is listed within the lowest 20% on the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation.
Irvine Beat FM's playlist is a mix of chart hits from the 1960s through to current chart music.
The station features a mix of presenters who have little radio experience, to various experienced professional presenters of all ages. Some names include Tommy Truesdale, Stuart Rodgers, Dawn Jamison, Chris Houston and Iain Rose. A number of former commercial West Sound Radio presenters are on the schedule.
In August 2018, the station celebrated its first five years and also started a new five year licence. A special show was aired during the station’s usual Sunday Talk In slot that week. It was presented by Chris Houston and featured many of the station’s presenters.
In March 2020 according to Irvine Beat FM’s website, Irvine Beat FM announced their studios would close as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of their presenters would continue broadcasting from their homes. A major change to the scheduling happened and during lockdown, the majority of presenters remained on air including Lunchtime presenters Chris Houston and Barry Reilly. Stuart Rodgers was temporarily replaced by David Gallacher and Andy Rutherford.
From 6 July 2020, the station’s schedule returned to normal with some presenters still broadcasting from their homes and some back in the studio.

Intel Galileo
|
Intel Galileo is the first in a line of Arduino-certified development boards based on Intel x86 architecture and is designed for the maker and education communities. Intel released two versions of Galileo, referred to as Gen 1 and Gen 2. These development boards are sometimes called "Breakout boards".
The board was discontinued on June 19, 2017.
Technical specifications
Intel Galileo combines Intel technology with support for Arduino ready-made hardware expansion cards (called "shields") and the Arduino software development environment and libraries. The development board runs an open source Linux operating system with the Arduino software libraries, enabling re-use of existing software, called "sketches". The sketch runs every time the board is powered. Intel Galileo can be programmed through OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux host operating software. The board is also designed to be hardware and software compatible with the Arduino shield ecosystem.
Intel Galileo features the Intel Quark SoC X1000, the first product from the Intel Quark technology family of low-power, small-core products. Intel Quark represents Intel's attempt to compete within markets such as the Internet of Things and wearable computing. Designed in Ireland, the Quark SoC X1000 is a 32-bit, single core, single-thread, Pentium (P54C/i586) instruction set architecture (ISA)-compatible CPU, operating at speeds up to 400 MHz. The Quark is seen by some as Intel's answer to ARM, the processor design featured in smartphones and other single-board computers.
At a clock speed of 400 MHz, together with 256 Mb of DDR3 RAM and 8 Mb flash memory, the Galileo is much more powerful than competing Arduino boards. The Mega 2560, for example, has a clock speed of 16 MHz, 8 Kb RAM and 256 Kb flash memory. It would be more appropriate to compare the Galileo to another single-board computer, such as the Raspberry Pi. The latest iteration, the Pi 3 Model B, replaced the Pi 2 Model B in February 2016. It is more powerful than the older Galileo Gen 2, featuring a 1.2 GHz CPU and 1 Gb RAM. The Pi, however, does not have any flash memory.
Both Galileo boards support the Arduino shield ecosystem. Unlike most Arduino boards, the Intel boards support both 3.3V and 5V shields. The Intel development board comes with several computing industry standard I/O interfaces. The support for PCI Express means that Wifi, Bluetooth or GSM cards can be plugged in to the board. It also enables usage of solid state drives with the Galileo.
The 10/100 Mbit Ethernet support enables the board to be connected to a LAN. It also enables accessing the Linux shel. The boards further support Micro SD, which means the available storage can be extended by up to 32 G. Other I/O interfaces include ACPI, USB 2.0 device and EHCI/OHCI USB host ports, high-speed UART, RS-232 serial port, programmable 8 MB NOR flash, and a JTAG port for easy debug.
Although the Galileo shipped with Linux, it was possible to have a custom version of Windows on both the Gen 1 and the Gen 2. This support was, however, suspended by Microsoft on 30 November 2015. Microsoft cited hardware concerns, with some specifically attributing it to the low clock speed of the Galileo.
The Galileo supports the Arduino IDE running atop an unmodified Linux software stack, supported by a common open source tool chain. The board comes pre-loaded with an SPI image of Linux. Although this version (Yocto 1.4 Poky Linux) has very limited features (e.g. it does not include a Wi-Fi module), it does not require any storage devices to be added. Intel also provides more functional versions of Linux for the boards. The "SD-Card" image can be downloaded and loaded onto the board via a Micro SD card. It includes, among a multitude of modules, a Wi-Fi module, support for OpenCV to enable computer vision, ALSA for sound processing and Node.js for JavaScript capabilities. A more advanced IoT DevKit version is also available to enable complex IoT projects, adding for example support for OpenCV-Python.
The Raspberry Pi, as well as most boards from Arduino, does not have an onboard real time clock. The Galileo boards have a real time clock, requiring only a 3V coin cell battery. The boards can therefore keep accurate time without being connected to either a power source or internet.
The Galileo can be seen as truly open source, as both the schematics and the source code are freely available for download without a software license agreement. However, some argued that the hardware shouldn't be designated open source if the processor core isn't also made open-source.
Arduino ecosystem
The Arduino ecosystem has three "levels":
"Arduino" is manufactured and distributed by Arduino.
"AtHeart" identifies any board which is manufactured using an Arduino-supported processor.
"Certified" means that the board is supported by the Arduino platform, but does not use an Arduino-supported processor.
The Galileo falls into the third category. Although it is the lowest level in the Arduino ecosystem, it still means that Galileo boards can be programmed using the official Arduino IDE, bought on the Arduino online shop and is compatible with Arduino peripherals such as shields.
Sales and adoption
Intel does not publish sales data on its products.
In an effort to boost the ecosystem of their Quark architecture, Intel gave away 50,000 Galileo Gen 1's when it was launched. In 2014, Microsoft also handed out Galileo boards to people who signed up for its IoT program.
On 30 November 2015, Microsoft suspended support for Galileo. While it is unclear what effect this had on the sales numbers of the boards, it meant that developers creating projects for Microsoft's Windows 10 IoT Core had to move to Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.
On 16 June 2017 Intel announced that the 'End of Life' and last shipment date for the Galileo range is 16 December 2017.
Difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2
Intel Galileo Gen 2 Is similar to Gen 1 with the following changes:
Replaces the RS-232 console port (audio jack) with a 1x6-pin 3.3V USB TTL UART header
Adds 12-bit pulse-width modulation (PWM)
Console UART1 redirection to Arduino headers
Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability (Requires installation of Silvertel Ag9712-2BR/FL power module)
A power regulation system that accepts power supplies from 7V to 15V.
Improved PWM control line means finer resolution for movement control.

Heaven Below (EP)
|
Heaven Below is the self-titled EP from rock ensemble Heaven Below. The album was released on August 17, 2010.
Composition
The band had been closing shows on their then recent inaugural tour with audience favorite "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead. At one of their rehearsals, Patrick Kennison jokingly sung "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar over the instrumentals for "Ace of Spades". Because the band enjoyed how "Heartbreaker" sounded, they decided to record a studio version of the song.
In addition to the six main tracks, the album contains a CD with 4 bonus tracks and 4 music videos, one of which is "Twilight Zone", originally recorded by Dutch rock band Golden Earring.
Critical reception
Marissa Brown from Artistdirect, described the EP as a "Most brilliantly bludgeoning performance" while Robert Foster from Metal Edge stated that "Every track explodes with expression". Blabbermouth.net as well as Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles both noted that "despite being such a young band, they can easily keep pace with the top dogs of the current rock scene".

Countdown to Devil
|
Countdown to Devil is the first studio album by rock band Heaven Below. The album was released on February 11, 2009.
Composition
The Laughing Dead
"The Laughing Dead", the tenth track on the album, was at one time, a candidate for the name of the band. Having a lyric mentioning "Heaven Below", the song helped the band decide on its current moniker. EMURG describes the song as one being "about enjoying every minute of life".
When Daylight Dies
"When Daylight Dies" has been played on more than 4 dozen radio stations in the United States including Hard Drive and The Rock 30. Lead vocalist Patrick Kennison and Marty O'Brien, Heaven Below's bassist at the time who performed and continues to perform in We Are the Fallen befriended Ben Moody of Evanescence and We Are the Fallen. When Moody heard the track, he told the band that while he'd like to produce the entire Countdown to Devil album, that he had availability for one song only. When Moody stated that he wanted to make "a cinematic song that sounds like something epic", Kennison agreed to have Moody work on the song.
Critical reception
EMURG states that the vocals for the album "are right on par with their dominating drums and guitars". With respect to "The Takeover", the second track of the work, the site states that lead vocalist Patrick Kennison "makes a valid attempt" to "overshadow those drums" but "once the guitar solo hits, all hope is lost". EMURG goes on to say that "This song is musically driven and it doesn’t matter what the lyrics are at this point" and states that "The Congregation" has a similar measure to it. "Judgment Day”, a tune about looking inside of one's self and wishing to improve upon who they are is described as "a fitting ending" with EMURG giving them "kudos for ending on a “smart”note rather than seeking to end the album with a brutal mosh-worthy song". The site goes on to exclaim that ending with "Judgement Day" "gives [the listener] a more satisfied feeling", as the listener's "brain is mentally full of great music".

The Deadlight Sessions
|
The Deadlight Sessions is an EP from American rock band Heaven Below. The album was released on August 13, 2013 through Broken Halo Media.
Composition
The album takes a more acoustic approach than previous albums. This was done due to the success of the acoustic version of their song "When Daylight Dies". The fourth track from the album "The Needle Lies Again" was written about Paul Gray from Slipknot, who died in 2010 of a drug overdose. The song talks about the overwhelming feeling of hurt and anxiety that exists when having to deal with the death of a close companion.
Touring
In September 2013, the band went to Hooligan's Bar & Grill in New Braunfels, Texas near San Antonio for a one stop show to promote the album.
Critical reception
Sweet Lou of The Heavy Metal ICU states that "Tomorrow Never Comes" is "close to sounding very Motley Crue 'If I Die Tomorrow'".

St. Patrick's Society of Montreal
|
The St. Patrick's Society of Montreal (French: Société Saint-Patrick de Montréal) is the oldest fraternal organization in Canada. In existence since March 17, 1834, it predates the Société Saint-Jean Baptiste by three months. The St. Patrick's Society continues to be a leader in Montreal's Irish community, organizing such annual events as the St. Patrick's Ball, the St. Patrick's Luncheon, and the St. Patrick's Society's annual Christmas concert. The Society's current President is Ken Quinn.
History
Origins
There is evidence of Irish immigrants in Quebec as far back as the 1760s. The first St. Patrick's Parade was organized by Michael O'Sullivan in 1824. By 1834, a group of notable businessmen gathered to form what is now known as the St. Patrick’s Society of Montreal, founded on March 17, 1834 at McCabe’s Hotel in Old Montreal. The first executive officers of the Society were President John Donnellan, Vice Presidents Hon. Michael O'Sullivan, Benjamin Holmes, and Thomas A. Begley, Treasurer John M. Tobin, Corresponding Secretary S. Sweeney, and Recording Secretary H. McGregor, who were supported by twelve committee members. Many involved were longstanding leaders of the community. In the March 20, 1824 edition of the Canadian Spectator mention is made of M. O'Sullivan Esq being in the chair at a Hibernian Society dinner. O'Sullivan is reported to have expressed how shameful it was that "St. Patrick's Day had never before been met with a public celebration". In the 1831 Montreal Almanack John Donnellan is listed as President of the Montreal Hibernian Benevolent Society.
The Society was not a political organization, but was largely charitable and national in purpose, and was principally social and educational. However, it was founded mainly by Irish Protestants in the spring of 1834 in order to oppose the 92 Resolutions sent by Lower-Canadian Louis-Joseph Papineau's Patriotes to the British Government. In that sense, loyalty to the Crown was central to the founding of St. Patrick's Society. The Society was at first non-sectarian. The first President was John Donnellan, a prominent Montreal citizen.
The founding of the Society was closely followed by the establishment of the St. Jean Baptiste Society in June 1834, the St. Andrew's Society in February 1835, the German Society of Montreal on April 21, 1835, the St. George’s Society on April 27, 1835 and later the St. David’s Society and the Caledonian Society. The beautiful spirit of friendliness and cooperation among the so-called Sister Anglophone Societies since their inception has been notable and has persisted throughout the years. The St. Patrick's Society, the St. Andrew's Society and the St. George's Society were opposed to the Patriotes bas-canadiens who founded the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste, named "Aide-toi et le Ciel t'aidera" at its inception in 1834 by former 1st Mayor of Montréal, Jacques Viger. The national qualities and purposes of the various anglophone bodies were commented upon by the Honourable Peter McGill, the first English-speaking Mayor of Montreal, at a dinner given by St. Patrick’s Society on the evening of March 17, 1836.
End of non-sectarianism
The Society continued as non-sectarian until the year 1856, under the able presidency of such men as John Donnellan, Benjamin Holmes, Sir Francis Hincks, Bernard Devlin, W.F. Batley, Thomas Ryan and many others, at which time the non-Catholic members were encouraged to establish a society of their own. This separation was largely the work of Reverend Patrick Dowd. As a result, the Catholic members retained the old name of the Society, and the non-Catholic members assumed the name “Irish Protestant Benevolent Society”. Among those who vigorously opposed the separation was Sir William Hales Hingston, a prominent surgeon and later, the Mayor of Montreal, who tendered his resignation from the Society as a gesture against what he termed the uncalled for division. Hingston would likely have been happy to discover that the Society returned to its non-denominational origins in the latter part of the twentieth century.
Thomas D’Arcy McGee
One of the most illustrious members of the Society was the Honourable Thomas D’Arcy McGee, the poet, newspaper editor and Member of Parliament for Montreal West, whose great eloquence played a crucial role in the formation of the Dominion of Canada. Despite his fame and position, he was expelled from the Society in 1868 as a result of his strong condemnation of the Fenian movement, because the Society had by then been taken over by a majority of Fenian members or sympathizers. Shortly after his expulsion from the Society, McGee was assassinated in Ottawa on April 7, 1868. Perhaps somewhat hypocritically, the Society forwarded a letter of condolence to his family expressing their abhorrence of the crime and arranged for his burial in Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery on Mount Royal. His tomb has ever since been looked after by St. Patrick’s Society. At the 178th annual meeting, held June 19, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the members witnessed a highly informative and entertaining debate between David Wilson and J. Peter Shea, the Society's historian, about the merits of reinstating McGee's membership posthumously. After the debate, which lasted forty minutes, the members present voted overwhelmingly in favour of reinstatement after 144 years as a Society outcast.
World War I
At the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914, realizing that it was vitally important that the Irish community of Montreal play their part in the defence of Canada, members of the Society were largely instrumental in the formation of an Irish Canadian Regiment. Hence, in the fall of 1914, the 55th Regiment, Irish Canadian Rangers, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Harry Trihey, K.C. and Major William O’Brien, a prominent Montreal stock-broker, came into being. Later, towards the end of January 1916, it was decided to form an Overseas Battalion, and the Canadian Infantry Battalion, Irish Canadian Rangers (later to be known as the 199th Battalion Duchess of Connaught's Own Irish Rangers, CEF), commenced recruiting. Practically all the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the old 55th Regiment offered their services for overseas, and thanks to St. Patrick’s Society, the Battalion’s colours were formally presented on the Champ de Mars in June 1916.
Recent times
The Society played a headership role with respect to scholarships, child welfare, Irish Home Rule and other kindred matters. It would be impossible to describe in this brief history all the events to which the Society lent its interest during its existence, such as the building of St. Patrick’s Church (now Basilica), the formal opening of Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery, the Golden and Diamond Jubilee of St. Patrick’s Church, St. Patrick’s Orphanage, Father Dowd’s Home and St. Mary’s Hospital, to name but a few.
In 1977, just over one hundred years since the destruction of St. Patrick’s Hall by fire, St. Patrick’s Square, a 252-unit pre-retirement building and community located in Côte St. Luc, was officially opened by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The project was launched with seed funds provided by the Society in cooperation with the Federal Government, and through the leadership of the renowned Montreal architect and President of the Society, Joseph Dunne. The Society’s office has been situated there ever since.
The Society was originally responsible for maintaining the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which was held under its auspices from 1834 to 1916. The event was discontinued in 1917 owing to war conditions, but was renewed the following year under the direction of the Ancient Order of Hibernians until 1928, and since that date the parade has been under the direction of the United Irish Societies of Montreal.
Of the six Irish mayors of Montreal in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – William Workman, Francis Cassidy, K.C., Sir William Hingston, James McShane, Richard Wilson-Smith and the Honourable James J. Guerin – all were members of St. Patrick’s Society of Montreal, and three were Presidents of the Society: Workman, Cassidy and Guerin. Other Past Presidents of the Society include a pre-Confederation co-premier of the Province of Canada and later federal minister of finance (Sir Francis Hincks), a federal minister of Justice (Charles J. Doherty) as well as a number of other prominent politicians, judges, business leaders and others.
After the various waves of nineteenth-century immigration from Ireland, by the turn of the twentieth century the membership of the Society essentially was composed of second-, third- and fourth-generation Irish-Canadians. By the mid-twentieth century, the Society’s main social celebrations and fundraising activities were its Annual Charity Ball and its Annual St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, both of which had evolved from the original banquets and dinners of the early nineteenth century. A key feature of the Annual Charity Ball was and still is the presence of special invited guests, which include a special guest of honour and the presidents or other representatives of the Sister Societies, such as the St. Andrew’s Society, the St. David’s Society, the German Society, the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society and the United Irish Societies. The annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration is now a business-type luncheon, with a guest speaker (almost always with an Irish background) who has played a prominent role in politics, business, academia, the arts, law, journalism or otherwise.
Perhaps, as a result of the worldwide exposure for Montreal and Canada generated by Expo 67 and the celebrations surrounding Canada’s centennial, there was a new ripple of Irish immigration to Canada and Montreal in the late 1970s and 1980s. The Society and the Montreal Irish community were the beneficiaries of the contributions of this new generation of arrivals, who have contributed greatly to the preservation and enjoyment of Irish culture and tradition in Montreal. The Society’s newsletter, Nuacht, was largely the product of the 1970s- and 1980s-era immigrants. This period also saw the renewal of interest in things Irish, such as Irish traditional music, the Irish language, Irish dance, Irish theatre, Irish sports and Irish cinema. The Society took a leading role in promoting and financially supporting these cultural endeavours. The culmination of this renaissance of interest in Irish culture in Montreal was the creation of the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation in 1995. Members of the Society, most notably Michael Kenneally, Brian Gallery, Peter O’Brien and others, played leading roles in the effort to raise funds to provide courses in Canadian Irish studies at Concordia University, which itself is the successor institution of Loyola College which had long been associated with the Irish in Montreal. St. Patrick’s Society contributed the original seed money to launch the successful capital campaign of the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation, which raised millions of dollars. In 2010, due to overwhelming interest in the courses being offered and the great success of the capital campaign, the School of Canadian Irish Studies – the first in Canada – was created at Concordia University with the financial support of the university and the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation.
In 2009, as part of the year-long celebration of the Society’s 175th anniversary, the Society, in cooperation with the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society and the Government of Quebec, funded and launched a very successful year-long exhibition about the contributions of the Irish to Quebec life entitled “Being Irish O’Quebec” at the McCord Museum of Canadian History in Montreal.
The Society has evolved greatly since 1834, yet remains true to its roots. In 2011, the Society organized and sponsored welcoming receptions and job networking events for young Irish immigrants to Montreal, who were not fleeing discrimination and famine like many of the original members of the Society but rather declining economic conditions in Ireland.
In 1983, the Society admitted for the first time a woman, Beverly Rozek, to full membership and, in 1998, the members of the Society elected its first woman President, Lynn Lonergan Doyle.
To enable the Society to fund and carry out its mission, the Society has an endowment and organizes numerous major annual fundraising events. Together with the traditional Annual Charity Ball and the Annual St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, the Society also holds an annual Christmas concert and an annual golf tournament. The moneys raised at these events fund the operations of the Society, which is a registered federal charity, allows the Society to organize and sponsors a large number of cultural and educational activities that are open to all and to make significant donations to other Montreal charities and not-for-profit organizations that serve the less fortunate, homeless, children, families and elderly of the city, both Irish and non-Irish.

Kermon Lester Burge (May 17, 1917 – March 1, 1996) was a minor league baseball first baseman and manager whose career spanned from the 1930s to the 1950s.
He began his career in 1938, playing for the Class-D New Bern Bears of the Coastal Plain League. He hit .348 with 98 hits, 21 doubles, 22 home runs and a .699 slugging percentage that year, leading the league in slugging percentage and finishing second, behind Bennie Rothstein, in home runs. He split 1939 between the Class-B Savannah Indians of the South Atlantic League and the Class-A1 Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association, hitting a combined .286 with 14 home runs and 10 triples in 144 games.
He returned to Atlanta again in 1940, hitting .277 with 12 home runs and 82 hits in 88 games. Once more with the Crackers in 1941, Burge batted .311 with 163 hits, 38 home runs, 146 RBI, 331 total bases and a .632 slugging percentage. He led the league in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage and tied Oris Hockett for second, behind Culley Rikard, in total bases. He was unanimously voted the Southern Association Most Valuable Player that season.
He signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers for 1942 and was a touted prospect. He reported to spring training with a 1-B military draftee classification, but played the whole season for the Montreal Royals of the Triple-A International League and hit .250 with 28 home runs and 88 RBI in 152 games. He led the league in home runs and finished third in strikeouts. He was set to be Dolph Camilli's replacement at first base on the major league team in 1943, but was instead called into service for World War II and did not play professionally again until 1946. He joined the United States Army on November 7, 1942. He was stationed at Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia.
In 1946, he returned to Montreal in the Dodgers system after leaving the military. Despite missing three years to the service, the Dodgers still had hopes for the first baseman, with team general manager Branch Rickey saying he had the makings of a "great hitter." That season, he hit .285 with 15 home runs, 101 RBI and a .401 on-base percentage in 121 games. He tied Eddie Joost for third in the league in RBI. He played for and managed the Double-A Fort Worth Cats of the Texas League – another Dodgers affiliate – in 1947, hitting .279 with seven home runs in 110 games and leading the team to a 95-58 second-place finish. The team lost in the first round of the playoffs. He began 1948 as manager of the Cats, but did not play for the team. Partway through the year, he moved to the Texas League's Dallas Eagles, an unaffiliated team, and hit .319 with nine home runs in 84 games. He also managed the squad for the latter part of the season, replacing Jimmy Adair.
In 1949, Burge played for the Shreveport Sports of the Texas League and hit .294 with 24 home runs in 131 games. He split his final season, 1950, between the Sports and the Class-B Greensboro Patriots of the Carolina League, hitting a combined .249 with 13 home runs in 119 games.
Overall, Burge played ten seasons in the minor leagues and hit .288 with 182 home runs in 1,181 games. He eclipsed the 20-home run mark four times and the .300 batting average mark thrice.
Burge was born in Stokes County, North Carolina and died in High Point, North Carolina.

Wang Chengkuai (; born 23 January 1995) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Yanbian Longding.
Club career
Early career
Wang previously played for two regional football academies before joining the youth ranks of Chinese club Dalian Shide in 2010 after he received his first international call up for the Chinese national under-14 team in 2009. In his last year with the club, he was listed as a reserve and was given the number 52 shirt. However, Dalian Shide folded by the end of the 2012 season and Wang's contract with the club was terminated.
Ajax
On 17 December 2012, Wang flew to Amsterdam for a trial with Dutch club Ajax. Along with Wei Shihao, another Chinese footballer from the ranks of Shandong Luneng Taishan, the two were recommended by former Ajax coach and talent scout Henk ten Cate who was working for Shandong Luneng Taishan at the time. While Wei was unable to make his flight due to complications with his passport, Wang had a successful trial and committed to a two-year deal on 1 September 2013, becoming the first Chinese footballer to sign with Ajax. On 11 November 2013, he made his professional debut starting for the reserves team Jong Ajax in a 1–2 loss to De Graafschap in the Eerste Divisie, before being substituted off for Branco van den Boomen in the 63rd minute.
Portugal
On 19 August 2014, Wang signed for Portuguese club Coimbrões. He made seven league appearances for the club, as well as one appearance in the Taça de Portugal during his first season in Portugal.
On 15 July 2015 it was announced that Wang had transferred to Gondomar S.C., remaining in the Portuguese Second Division. He made his debut for his new team on 23 August 2015, coming on as a substitute for Belinha in the 86th minute of the 3–0 win at home against SC Vila Real.
Shenzhen
On 9 July 2016, Wang transferred to China League One side Shenzhen F.C. He would make his debut in a league game on 14 August 2016 against Tianjin Quanjian in a 5-2 defeat. He would be a squad player as the club gained promotion to the top tier at the end of the 2018 China League One campaign. In the following campaign he would go on to score his first goal for the club on 26 October 2019 against Wuhan Zall in a 4-4 draw. While he was given a run of games throughout the season he would be part of the squad that finished in the relegation zone, however the club was given a reprieve after fellow top tier club Tianjin Tianhai was dissolved after the 2019 season. In the next campaign, Wang would not feature in any senior matches.
On 9 April 2021, Wang would be loaned out to second tier club Zibo Cuju for the 2021 China League One campaign. He would go on to make his debut in a league game on 29 April 2021 against Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard F.C. in a 3-2 defeat. Wang would go on to establish himself as an integral member of the team and go on to score his first goal for the club in a league game on 20 May 2021 against Zhejiang Professional F.C. in a 2-1 defeat. On his return to Shenzhen he would be loaned out again, this time to top tier club Cangzhou Mighty Lions on 29 April 2022. He would struggle to gain any playing time at Cangzhou and would join Zibo Cuju on loan for a second time for the remainder of the season.
International career
Wang was called up for the China under-14 squad to participate in the 2009 Asian Youth Games in Singapore. He made his debut on 20 June 2009 in the opening Group B match of the Preliminary round against Myanmar, and scored in the 2nd and 12th minutes of the game, helping his side to a 7–3 victory. He played in the remaining fixtures of the tournament, losing 2–0 to Iran in their final match to place fourth at the tournament.

Eliteserien play-offs
|
The Eliteserien, until 1991 known as the 1. divisjon and between 1991 and 2016 known as Tippeligaen, has employed a system of play-off qualification to determine promotion and relegation with the 1. divisjon (until 1991 the 2. divisjon). Various varieties have been in place since the system was introduced at the end of the 1972 season, but only one team has been promoted per year. The play-offs have always supplemented a system of direct promotion and relegation of two teams. The play-offs have been wavered twice, in the 1994 and 2011 seasons, when the top league was expanded to fourteen and sixteen teams, respectively.
Sogndal have participated nine times, more than any other team. Start (four times) and Stabæk (twice) are the only teams to have participated more than once and always won. The least successful teams who have participated three times or more and never won the tournament are Pors (four times), Sandefjord and Ull/Kisa (both three times). Teams from the top league have participated 35 times, and have succeeded at retaining their place in 20 occasions.
Format
Play-offs were introduced in the 1972, when the 1. divisjon was expanded from ten to twelve teams. The 2. divisjon consisted of two conferences, and the winners of each conference were promoted directly. The runners-up met the winner of a conference from Northern Norway, with the three teams playing a single round-robin to determine the third and final promotion spot. Three teams were relegated from the 1. divisjon. This system remained for seven years, before the separate conferences for Northern Norway were abolished. From 1979 the play-offs were played as a two-tier match between the two conference runners-up, a system which was used for two seasons.
From 1981 the system returned to a three-team single round robin, although this time the two 2. divisjon runners-up met the team finishing tenth in the 1. divisjon. The format remained for thirteen years, with six top level teams succeeding in retaining their place. No play-off was played in 1994, as the top flight was increased to fourteen teams and both the winners and runners-up of both 1. divisjon conferences were promoted, while only two top flight teams were relegated.
From 1995 the play-off solely involved a two-tier match between the runners-up of the 1. divisjon conferences, with three teams from the top flight meeting relegation. This system remained for two years, before 1997, when the 1. divisjon was merged to a single conference. For twelve years the play-off was played as a two-tier game between the team finishing twelfth in the top flight and the team finishing third in the 1. divisjon. In this period the top level teams defended their positions nine times, including every year from 2001 through 2006.
From 2009 the play-off has been played as a knock-out tournament. The first two years saw the teams ranked three through five in the 1. divisjon meet the team ranked twelfth in the top flight in a two-round knock-out, with a single match in the first round and double match in the second round. In 2009 the top flight was extended to sixteen teams: three teams were promoted and only one relegated. In 2011, no play-off was carried out. From 2012 the play-offs returned as a three-round knock-out tournament. The teams ranked three to six in the 1. divisjon played each other in a two-round, single-match knock-out tournament, with the winner facing the fourteenth-placed top flight team in a two-legged decisive final.

Rafael Piñeiro
|
Rafael Piñeiro (born 1949) is the former First Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and at that time the highest ranking Hispanic American member of the NYPD. In November 2013, he was rumored to be on Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's short list to replace Ray Kelly as NYPD Commissioner.
Law enforcement career and background
Piñeiro was born in Valencia, Spain. He immigrated with his family from Cuba to the United States of America when he was 12. After graduating from the New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science, he was appointed to the NYPD in June 1970 after graduating at the top of his New York City Police Academy class and receiving the Chief of Personnel's Award for the highest combined academic and physical fitness scores.
According to his official biography, he was promoted up the ranks to Deputy Chief in 1991 and Assistant Chief in 1994. When he was promoted to Deputy Chief he was the Commanding Officer of the Police Commissioner's Office and later the Executive Officer of Patrol Borough Bronx. As Assistant Chief he served as Executive Officer Housing Bureau and was the Commanding Officer of the following commands; Patrol Borough Bronx, Criminal Justice Bureau, Management Information Systems Division, Personnel Bureau In 1995, he founded the National Law Enforcement Explorer Academy. He served as executive officer of the 17th Precinct, commander of the 41st Precinct. In 2002, he was appointed Chief of Personnel and became the longest serving Chief of Personnel in NYPD history. He was elevated to First Deputy Commissioner in 2010. His awards and decorations include the Police Combat Cross, the Department's second highest award for valor, which he received for confronting a gun wielding suspect who had robbed a convenience store. In 2010 he became the first Hispanic-American ever appointed as First Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Police Department.
Rafael Pineiro serves at the chief executive assistant and advisor to the Police Commissioner in the management and administration of the Police Department and assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Police Commissioner in his absence. He maintains responsibility for the highest levels of policy formation, program development and decision making in the NYPD and is responsible for four major commands responsible for critical aspects of agency operations; the Personnel Bureau, Support Services Bureau, Criminal Justice Bureau and Office of Labor Relations. The First Deputy Commissioner is the highest level representative of the Police Commissioner and serves on his behalf as executive liaison to the city, state and federal criminal justice and law enforcement agencies and represents the Police Commissioner at meetings and conferences conducted to address and resolve high level policy, program and procedural issues with agency-wide ramifications.
Piñeiro graduated with a Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School, holds a Master of Public Administration from New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service a graduate of the inaugural class of the Police Management Institute at Columbia University. In 1995, he attended the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University as a Pickett Fellow in Criminal Justice. He is married to Sheila Ahern.
Speculation on appointment as NYPD Commissioner
Even before the 2013 New York City mayoral election, Piñeiro was referenced as a potential replacement for NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. During a televised debate, de Blasio's opponent, Joe Lhota, stated Piñeiro would be his pick to replace Kelly were he elected.
After de Blasio indicated during the campaign that he would seek a new Commissioner for the NYPD, the NYPD Hispanic Society held a press conference along with the New York Dominican Officers Organization and National Latino Officers Association advocating for Rafael Pineiro to be considered and given an opportunity to be interviewed based on his credentials and qualifications. The Hispanic Society President Detective Dennis Gonzalez stated that he would be the first Hispanic-American to ever serve as Police Commissioner. In his statement, Gonzalez stated is this, "a tale of two cities, one white and one black, Latinos not included", apparently referencing the fact that Pineiro was not being recognized in the mainstream media but non-Hispanics were."
In November 2013, he formally met with Mayor-elect de Blasio during the annual New York Hispanic legislative conference Somos El Futuro in Puerto Rico to discuss the NYPD transition. Much like Kelly, whom de Blasio stated he would not be reappointing, Piñeiro rose through the ranks of the NYPD from a beat cop to the highest echelon of its hierarchy. Other candidates who met with de Blasio included former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton and current NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks III. Bratton was ultimately appointed on December 5, 2013.
Retirement
Rafael Pineiro will be retiring at the end of October with retirement paperwork on file.

|
Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency Act of 2013
|
The Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act of 2013 () is a bill that would require asbestos trusts in the United States to file quarterly reports about the payouts they make and who receives them. The goal of this requirement is to prevent fraud by ensuring claimants don't file for the same injury with more than one of the asbestos trusts. There are approximately 60 trusts with billions of dollars in them. This bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.
Background
Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals used commercially for their desirable physical properties. They all have in common their eponymous asbestiform habit: long (roughly 1:20 aspect ratio), thin fibrous crystals. The prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). The trade and use of asbestos have been restricted or banned in many jurisdictions. Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century because of its sound absorption, average tensile strength, its resistance to fire, heat, electrical and chemical damage, and affordability. It was used in such applications as electrical insulation for hotplate wiring and in building insulation.
As of March 2013, there were 85 new personal injury claims related to asbestos a day. There have been hundreds of thousands of asbestos injury claims over the past three decades which has led to bankruptcy for some companies.
Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.
The Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act of 2013 would amend federal bankruptcy law concerning a trust formed under a reorganization plan following the discharge in bankruptcy of a debtor corporation in order to assume the debtor's liability with respect to claims seeking recovery for personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage allegedly caused by the presence of, or exposure to, asbestos or asbestos-containing products.
The bill would require such a trust to file with the bankruptcy court quarterly reports, available on the public docket, which describe each demand the trust has received from a claimant and the basis for any payment made to that claimant (excluding any confidential medical record or the claimant's full Social Security number).
It would also require such reports, upon written request, and subject to payment (demanded at the option of the trust) for any reasonable cost incurred by it, to provide any information related to payment from, and demands for payment from, the trust to any party to any action in law or equity concerning liability for asbestos exposure.
Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on May 21, 2013. This is a public domain source.
H.R. 982 would require trusts set up through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization caused by asbestos liabilities to submit quarterly reports to the bankruptcy court concerning the damage claims and payments made by the trust. Based on information provided by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC), CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 982 would have no significant impact on the federal budget because the AOUSC would incur only minor costs to make that information publicly available. Enacting H.R. 982 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 982 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
H.R. 982 would impose a private-sector mandate as defined in UMRA by requiring asbestos trusts to submit quarterly reports. According to studies by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the RAND Corporation, only a small number of asbestos trusts currently exist. Further, the GAO study indicates that the information to be submitted under the bill is already tracked by many of the asbestos trusts. Therefore, CBO expects that the incremental cost to comply with the reporting requirements in the bill would fall below the annual threshold established in UMRA for private-sector mandates ($150 million in 2013, adjusted annually for inflation).
Procedural history
The Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act of 2013 was introduced in the United States House of Representatives by Rep. Blake Farenthold (R, TX-27) on March 6, 2013. It was referred to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary and the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law. On March 13, 2013, the Subcommittee had a hearing on the bill, reported as Hearing Report 113-39. It was reported (amended) by the House Judiciary Committee on October 30, 2013, alongside House Report 113-254. On November 8, 2013, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced that the bill would be considered during the week of November 11, 2013.
Debate and discussion
Proponents of the bill argued that it will prevent claimants from "double dipping" by claiming their injury twice. They argue that this helps future victims by ensuring that there is still money in the future and that it has not been given out to false or double claims. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform is in favor of the bill. It ran full-page advertisements in favor of the bill in Washington, D.C. area newspapers such as Politico and The Hill. The United States Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter to the House of Representatives urging them to vote in favor of the bill, expressing concern about existing fraud and abuse of the trust funds.
Opponents argue that reports would hurt the privacy of the victims and make claims more difficult. The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization opposed this bill. The widow of Rep. Bruce Vento, who died of asbestos related cancer, lobbied Congress against the legislation. She argued that the bill "forced asbestos victims and their families to release private information that will put them at risk for identity theft." The Asbestos Cancer Victim Rights Campaign was also against the bill.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate%20Transparency
|
Certificate Transparency
|
Certificate Transparency (CT) is an Internet security standard for monitoring and auditing the issuance of digital certificates.
The security of HTTPS depends on the trust that certificates are only given out by the certificate authority that was requested by the owner of some website or IT infrastructure. Certificate Transparency has the potential to expose certificates that were given out without them being requested by the genuine owner, such as malicious certificates by a compromised certificate authority, which happened in 2010 at DigiNotar.
is a standard defining a system of public logs that seek to eventually record all certificates issued by publicly trusted certificate authorities, allowing efficient identification of mistakenly or maliciously issued certificates.
Technical overview
The certificate transparency system consists of a system of append-only certificate logs. Logs are operated by many parties, including browser vendors and certificate authorities. Certificates that support certificate transparency must include one or more signed certificate timestamps (SCTs), which is a promise from a log operator to include the certificate in their log within a maximum merge delay (MMD). At some point within the maximum merge delay, the log operator adds the certificate to their log. Each entry in a log references the hash of a previous one, forming a Merkle tree. The signed tree head (STH) references the current root of the Merkle tree.
Mandatory certificate transparency
Some browsers require TLS certificates to have proof of being logged with certificate transparency, either through SCTs embedded into the certificate, an extension during the TLS handshake, or through OCSP:
Log sharding
Due to the large quantities of certificates issued with the Web PKI, certificate transparency logs can grow to contain many certificates. This large quantity of certificates can cause strain on logs. Temporal sharding is a method to reduce the strain on logs by sharding a log into multiple logs, and having each shard only accept precertificates/certificates with an expiration date in a particular time period (usually a calendar year). Cloudflare's Nimbus series of logs was the first to use temporal sharding.
Background
Advantages
One of the problems with digital certificate management is that fraudulent certificates take a long time to be spotted, reported and revoked. An issued certificate not logged using Certificate Transparency may never be spotted at all. Certificate Transparency makes it possible for the domain owner (and anyone interested) to get in knowledge of any certificate issued for a domain.
Certificate Transparency logs
Certificate Transparency depends on verifiable Certificate Transparency logs. A log appends new certificates to an ever-growing Merkle hash tree. To be seen as behaving correctly, a log must:
Verify that each submitted certificate or precertificate has a valid signature chain leading back to a trusted root certificate authority certificate.
Refuse to publish certificates without this valid signature chain.
Store the entire verification chain from the newly accepted certificate back to the root certificate.
Present this chain for auditing upon request.
A log may accept certificates that are not yet fully valid and certificates that have expired.
Certificate Transparency monitors
Monitors act as clients to the log servers. Monitors check logs to make sure they are behaving correctly. An inconsistency is used to prove that a log has not behaved correctly, and the signatures on the log's data structure (the Merkle tree) prevent the log from denying that misbehavior.
Certificate Transparency auditors
Auditors also act as clients to the log servers. Certificate Transparency auditors use partial information about a log to verify the log against other partial information they have.
Certificate Transparency log programs
Apple and Google have separate log programs with distinct policies and lists of trusted logs.
Root stores of Certificate Transparency logs
Certificate Transparency logs maintain their own root stores and only accept certificates that chain back to the trusted roots. A number of misbehaving logs have been publishing inconsistent root stores in the past.
History
In 2011, a reseller of the certificate authority Comodo was attacked and the certificate authority DigiNotar was compromised, demonstrating existing flaws in the certificate authority ecosystem and prompting work on various mechanisms to prevent or monitor unauthorized certificate issuance. Google employees Ben Laurie, Adam Langley and Emilia Kasper began work on an open source framework for detecting mis-issued certificates the same year. In 2012, they submitted the first draft of the standard to IETF under the code-name "Sunlight".
In March 2013, Google launched its first certificate transparency log.
In June 2013, "Certificate Transparency" was published, based on the 2012 draft.
In September 2013, DigiCert became the first certificate authority to implement Certificate Transparency.
In 2015, Google Chrome began requiring Certificate Transparency for newly issued Extended Validation Certificates. It began requiring Certificate Transparency for all certificates newly issued by Symantec from June 1, 2016, after they were found to have issued 187 certificates without the domain owners' knowledge. Since April 2018, this requirement has been extended to all certificates.
On March 23, 2018, Cloudflare announced its own CT log named Nimbus.
In May 2019, certificate authority Let's Encrypt launched its own CT log called Oak. Since February 2020, it is included in approved log lists and is usable by all publicly-trusted certificate authorities.
In December 2021, "Certificate Transparency Version 2.0" was published. Version 2.0 includes major changes to the required structure of the log certificate, as well as support for Ed25519 as a signature algorithm of SCTs and support for including certificate inclusion proofs with the SCT.
In February 2022, Google published an update to their CT policy, which removes the requirement for certificates to include a SCT from their own CT log service, matching all the requirements for certificates to those previously published by Apple.
Signature Algorithms
In Certificate Transparency Version 2.0, a log must use one of the algorithms in the IANA registry "Signature Algorithms".

Hilton Manasseh Carty OBE (born 13 June 1921) was the Dean of Antigua from 1977 until 1986.
Born in Antigua, Carty was educated at Codrington College in Saint John, Barbados, and in 1945 ordained in British Guiana by the Archbishop of the West Indies. Remaining there, he served as assistant priest
in New Amsterdam and Georgetown, then was priest-in-charge in Demerara and parish priest of several churches, the last of which was St Paul’s, Plaisance. Having spent the early part of his career in British Guiana, in 1960 Carty migrated to Bristol, England, as assistant priest at St Agnes Church, in St Pauls Parish, to do general pastoral work there.
In September 1965 came Carty’s landmark appointment as priest in charge of St Francis’s Church, Cowley, Oxfordshire, which was widely reported by the Associated Press. In a story in The Telegraph of Nashua, New Hampshire, headed "Negro Parish Priest", Carty was reported to be to be "the first negro priest to take over a Church of England parish". The Cowley Chronicle of September 1965 reported that Carty was "especially interested in religious plays and pageants as a means of teaching the Christian Faith" and that he brought with him his wife and their four children.
In 1973 Carty became Vicar of St Bartholomew’s, Reading, before in 1977 he returned to the Caribbean as Dean of St John's Cathedral in St John's, Antigua. Soon after that he complained in a Sunday sermon that the traditional hymns "all tell us to give thanks to God but are mostly written for people accustomed to colder climates".
In 1984 Carty was appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
He retired as Dean of Antigua in 1986.

Peter Andrew Comensoli (born 25 March 1964) is an Australian Catholic prelate who was named the ninth Archbishop of Melbourne on 29 June 2018.
He had been serving as the third Bishop of Broken Bay in New South Wales since December 2014. From 2011 to 2014 he was an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Sydney.
Early life
Comensoli studied at St Paul's (now Holy Spirit) College, Bellambi, New South Wales, and studied commerce at the University of Wollongong while working for four years in the banking sector before switching to theology.
Priesthood
Comensoli entered St Patrick's Seminary in 1986 and obtained a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree in 1989 and a Bachelor of Sacred Theology (STB) degree in 1991 from the Catholic Institute of Sydney. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Wollongong in 1992 by William Edward Murray. Comensoli obtained a Licentiate of Sacred Theology (STL) from the Alphonsian Academy in Rome in 2000, a Master of Letters (MLitt) degree in moral philosophy from the University of St Andrews in 2007 and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in theological ethics from the University of Edinburgh. His doctoral thesis was titled "Recognising persons: the profoundly impaired and Christian anthropology" and was submitted in 2012.
Episcopacy
Comensoli was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Sydney and titular bishop of Tigisis in Numidia by Pope Benedict XVI on 20 April 2011. He was consecrated as a bishop by Cardinal George Pell at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney on 8 June 2011, becoming Australia's youngest Catholic bishop.
On 27 February 2014, Comensoli was appointed by Pope Francis as apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Sydney following Cardinal Pell's appointment as prefect of the newly formed Secretariat for the Economy. On 18 September 2014, Pope Francis appointed Anthony Fisher the new Archbishop of Sydney, and Comensoli remained the apostolic administrator until Fisher's installation on 12 November.
On 20 November 2014, Pope Francis appointed Comensoli as the Bishop of Broken Bay. His installation took place on 12 December.
On 29 June 2018, Comensoli was appointed Archbishop of Melbourne. He was installed on 1 August.
Comensoli personally vouched for Cardinal Pell by signing a letter of support in 2015 ahead of the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse, describing him as a "man of integrity", and considered him a personal friend.
Comensoli has stated that he would not break the seal of confession for confessions which include admissions of sexual abuse.
