Five stories in the news for Thursday, Sept. 27___TRUMP LETS LOOSE ON NAFTA, FREELAND, TRUDEAUU.S. President Donald Trump let Canada know how he really feels Wednesday — sharpening his tariff threat, calling out Chrystia Freeland and claiming he denied Justin Trudeau a bilateral meeting, all because of the federal government’s hard bargaining on North American trade. Trump made the comments late Wednesday during a free-wheeling news conference at the end of his two days at the United Nations General Assembly. Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office disputed the president’s statement — insisting for the second time this week that they did not request a meeting and declining further comment.___ONTARIO TO INTRODUCE POT LEGISLATION TODAYThe Ontario government is poised to introduce legislation today governing the licensing and regulation of the province’s private cannabis retail marketplace. The Progressive Conservative government says the bill will make the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario the regulator for the recreational pot marketplace. It will have the power to grant — and potentially revoke — licences as well as enforce provincial rules on cannabis sales. The province said Wednesday that anyone looking to open a pot shop will have to apply for both a retail-operator licence and a retail store authorization for each potential location. Breaching provincial rules on cannabis sales would preclude someone from ever obtaining a licence in the future, it said.___FEDERAL COURT TO HEAR PIPELINE SPY CASEFederal lawyers want closed-door hearings in a high-profile court case about allegations of Canadian Security Intelligence Service spying on anti-pipeline activists. The civil liberties group behind a complaint about the purported CSIS wrongdoing opposes the federal secrecy request, saying it blatantly violates the principle that justice must be seen to be done. The matter is slated to be heard today in an open session of the Federal Court of Canada. The judge’s decision will determine how much the public gets to see and hear in the coming months when the court looks at the central issue: whether Canada’s spy agency overstepped the law in monitoring environmental activists.___HOMELESS CAMPERS TO BE EVICTED NEXT WEEK: MINISTERThe B.C. government says a plan is in place to provide shelter and housing for all homeless campers currently staying at Goldstream Provincial Park, and those who remain past Tuesday will face eviction. In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Housing Minister Selina Robinson says people will transition into housing and shelters in the coming days and B-C Parks will notify the public when the campground is ready to reopen. Robinson says transportation and storage for the campers’ personal belongings are also being co-ordinated for Monday.___TORONTO FIRM LAUNCHES CLASS ACTION AGAINST TICKETMASTERA Toronto-based law firm has launched a proposed class-action lawsuit against Ticketmaster, alleging the ticket-selling giant has been taking “double-dip commissions” on the resale market for years. Sotos Class Actions accuses Ticketmaster of allowing professional resellers to buy “massive volumes” of tickets to concerts and other events, then resell them on the secondary market “at significant markups.” None of the allegations contained in the statement of claim have been proven in court and Ticketmaster has not filed a statement of defence. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.___ALSO IN THE NEWS TODAY:— Privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien will hold a news conference to discuss his annual report, which is expected to be tabled in Parliament.— Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz will give a speech to the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council and Greater Moncton Chamber of Commerce.— Romeo Dallaire will testify before the House of Commons committee on national defence about Canada’s contribution to international peacekeeping.— B.C. Finance Minister Carole James and Attorney General David Eby will announce government action to address money laundering in real estate.

Crude by rail rises in March but storage high despite Alberta curtailmentsCrude by rail rises in March but storage high despite Alberta curtailments
CALGARY, A.B. – Genscape says crude-by-rail shipments from Western Canada staged a minor recovery in March after falling in February to their lowest level in nine months, but oil storage levels remain stubbornly high.The U.S. company, which monitors western Canadian rail terminals handling about 80 per cent of typical volumes, reports average rail loadings in March were 150,000 barrels per day.That’s up about 6,000 bpd from an average of 144,000 bpd in February, but still down from the 281,000 bpd it recorded in January. Genscape senior oil analyst Mike Walls says the recovery came as Imperial Oil Ltd. restarted rail shipments from its Edmonton-area terminal after largely shutting them down in February, blaming market reaction to Alberta’s oil production curtailment program.Walls says Genscape estimates the amount of oil in storage as of March 29 was 35 million barrels, about the same as in early December when the Alberta government announced its curtailment program designed to free up export pipeline space and reduce stored barrels.The March number is about two million barrels lower than peak levels just before the cutbacks officially began in January, he said, and higher than the 33.4 million barrels stored at the end of March 2017.Imperial said it stopped rail shipments because the curtailment program resulted in narrower differences between prices for crude sold in Alberta and in the U.S., and thus impaired the economic case for paying rail fees to win better prices on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Moroccans Denounce Hostel in Marrakech for Banning Moroccan GuestsMoroccans Denounce Hostel in Marrakech for Banning Moroccan Guests
Rabat – When a Moroccan man, allegedly residing abroad, went to book a room at the hostel in Marrakech he found out that as a Moroccan he was not allowed in.The visitor secretly recorded a video of his conversation with the hostel receptionist, not showing either of their faces. Their conversation went as follows:“You will not accept any Moroccans here?” asked the visitor. “Yes, because, we Moroccans are nasty, we do not know how to behave…Europeans, on the other hand, are remarkable” the receptionist stated.The receptionist informed him that Moroccan guests staying at the hostel in the past had caused many incidents, adding that he was only obeying his boss’s orders. When the visitor asked him if his boss was a foreigner, he said “yes.” “He is a foreigner yet he is making his own law in [Morocco] that is not his country,” the visitor argued.Francophone media outlet AJ+ received the video, recorded on November 30.The footage stirred controversy on Facebook and Twitter. The act was condemned as racist by many Moroccans. Others pointed out that “racist door policy,” can be found in many big cities around the world and recounted their experiences, giving examples of clubs and hotels in Tunisia or Cote d’Ivoire’s Abidjan who do not welcome the countries’ nationals.The hostel manager provided Morocco World News with Kaktus Hostel’s side of the story. He claimed that the man who recorded the video was actually a journalist who took advantage of the receptionist’s inexperience to spark controversyRead Also: Marrakech Royal Mansour, Christian Louboutin Introduce MAD 8,650 SlippersThe hostel manager explained that the hostel, rather than being “racist,” is merely abiding by the law that prohibits an unmarried man and woman to live under the same roof.He justified the policy by explaining that since the hostel has mixed dorms, it cannot violate the law and host Moroccans because “ there are a lot of laws in Morocco that apply for Moroccans but not for tourists, and which we do not necessarily agree with,” he stated, giving article 490 of the penal code as an example.Article 490 of the Penal Code punishes all out-of-marriage sexual relationships with imprisonment from one to three months and a fine of MAD 2000 to 20,000.The manager said that it is the same with Moroccan university dorms, there are separate female dormitories and male dormitories.“If you don’t provide any marriage certificate then we cannot accept you. It’s not because we are racist but because we do not want to do something against the law,” he told MWN.Kaktus Hostel has a high score on Tripadvisor and welcomes tourists from all around the world.The hostel description reads: “We wanted to create an economical and socially responsible hostel. Kaktus Hostel is more than just a simple accommodation for travelers; it is a place of experimentation into sustainable development, as well as a place for artists and culture to thrive.”
Chadian herders to benefit from UN funding for water projectsChadian herders to benefit from UN funding for water projects
8 February 2010The United Nations agency dedicated to eradicating rural poverty has granted Chad $19.5 million to finance a water project for nomadic herders in the arid sub-Saharan Sahel region. The impoverished African country has abundant pastoral resources but these are under-used because of the scarcity of water delivery systems, the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) said in a news release issued on Friday.“The project will improve pastoral water infrastructure and access to water for nomadic herders,” IFAD said, noting that it would benefit several Chadian programmes, such as poverty reduction and agricultural development.IFAD is currently financing six projects in Chad for a total investment of $74 million.

Shipments from Libya were also curtail as a result of a dispute between militants and the government.However, Iraqi concerns have since faded as government forces moved to blunt the insurgent advance and an agreement between the government and militants in Libya promises to sharply increase exports there.As a result, analysts cautioned that more price declines are possible.“It is premature to suggest that a bottom has been placed,” wrote Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates, in a note to clients.In other energy futures trading, wholesale gasoline rose two cents to US$2.96 a U.S. gallon (3.79 litres), heating oil added two cents to US$2.89 a gallon and natural gas fell five cents to US$4.12 per 1,000 cubic feet.(TSX:ECA), (TSX:IMO), (TSX:SU), (TSX:HSE), (NYSE:BP), (NYSE:COP), (NYSE:XOM), (NYSE:CVX), (TSX:CNQ), (TSX:TLM), (TSX:COS), (TSX:CVE)

Telecom providers must update 911 networks by end of 2020, CRTC says

Famous Scottish boarding schools named in child abuse inquiryFamous Scottish boarding schools named in child abuse inquiry
The inquiry is also investigating allegations over schools run by orders of the Roman Catholic Church. These include St Ninian’s in Falkland, Fife, which was run by the Christian Brothers, St Joseph’s in Tranent, East Lothian, and St Ninian’s at Gartmore, Stirlingshire. Centres run by the Church of Scotland are also being investigated.She appealed for people with information about abuse to contact the inquiry, which is expected to last four years, with the first public hearings to begin in May. The senior judge said 170 people had contacted the inquiry by last June, and many more had done so since.Lady Smith added: “Whatever you have to contribute, we want to hear it. We are determined to find out the truth about what happened to children in care, where, how and why.”We want to find out why the abuse was not prevented, why it was not stopped and what needs to be done to protect children in care in the future.”She said the inquiry had so far identified more than 100 locations, but was aware that there were “many more than that”.She also revealed that the inquiry had started taking statements from alleged victims last spring.The remit of the inquiry is to investigate the nature and extent of the abuse of children in care settings in Scotland within “the living memory of any who provides information about it, up to December 2014”.However, she also made clear that it had “no power” to award “monetary compensation” and was not a substitute for criminal proceedings. Some of Scotland’s most prestigious private schools, including the alma maters of the Prince of Wales and Tony Blair, are to be investigated as part of a national child abuse inquiry.Gordonstoun near Elgin, attended by Prince Charles, and Fettes College in Edinburgh, where Mr Blair was a pupil, are among 100 locations where historical abuse is alleged to have taken place.The figure includes more than 60 residential care establishments, including institutions run by religious orders and local authorities.Other prominent boarding schools being looked into include Loretto in Mussleburgh, Scotland’s oldest boarding School, Edinburgh’s Merchiston Castle School, the former Keil School in Dumbarton, and Morrison’s Academy in Crieff, when it was a boarding school.Lady Smith, the new chairman of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, named the schools at the start of the inquiry at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.Care organisations including Quarriers and Barnardo’s are also to be investigated by inquiry staff. Lady Smith speaking in EdinburghCredit:PA Lady Smith, who was speaking in the role for the first time, replaced the original chairman, Susan O’Brien QC, who resigned in July complaining of government interference and now plans to sue the Scottish Government for £500,000.John Swinney, the education minister, later told MSPs he had been considering her removal from the post over claims she made inappropriate comments about survivors, which she strenuously denies.Lady Smith insisted during the preliminary hearing that the investigation would be fully independent.She said: “The inquiry team is investigating boarding schools. Specifically, they are investigating Fettes Cottage, Gordonstoun, the former Keil School in Dumbarton, Loretto School, Merchiston Castle School and Morrison’s Academy, at the time it was a boarding school.”Other boarding schools may also be investigated to obtain as full a picture as possible of the nature and extent of abuse in boarding schools.”

Radio could be killed by streaming services head of BBC radio warnsRadio could be killed by streaming services head of BBC radio warns
BBC radio is under threat from streaming giants and must reinvent itself to survive, the corporation’s most senior music executive has said.Just as BBC television faces its toughest competition from Netflix and Amazon, Spotify and other online services are a more fearsome opponent than commercial radio stations when it comes to listeners.Bob Shennan, the BBC’s director of radio and music, said: “Like so many industries, broadcasting is adapting to the impact of the internet.”Whereas in years gone by my predecessors would today be eyeballing their competition across the UK radio sector, our competition isn’t even based on this island. The new competition set is global.”Streaming services may be “the new best friend to music” but “they have set their sights on radio”, he told an audience at the Radio Festival. 
“Yet even in an age of streaming, with the tangible consumer benefits that brings, I believe BBC radio – in fact, all UK radio – plays an even more important role in the lives or our audiences and in ensuring the well-being of popular and classical music.”BBC must offer more than a daily schedule of programmes, Shennan said. Instead, it must improve its offering of services on-demand and it make it easier for audiences to find content whether on the website or via the radio app. His comments about global online competition echoed a speech made by the BBC director-general, Lord Hall, earlier this year, warning that “old business models are being ripped up before our eyes” and British television is under threat from international rivals.Lord Hall said: “We can see now, more clearly than ever, that the global media landscape is likely to be dominated by four, perhaps five, business on the West Coast of America.”The BBC has also promised to “reinvent” its iPlayer service to compete with Netflix and Amazon, “making the leap from a catch-up service to a must-visit destination in its own right”. BBC Music’ Biggest Weekend will feature 100 acts across four sites in Belfast, Coventry, Perth and Swansea, broadcast live on all of its music stations and available on all of its television channels.It is the biggest single music event ever attempted by the BBC.Shennan also announced another initiative, BBC Introducing Live, a showcase promoting new musicians because “in a world of global impacts, only radio still genuinely commits to promoting the new”. This year the BBC will also offer an alternative to Glastonbury this summer, as the Somerset festival has a fallow year.

GroundProbes GMS wins 2018 Good Design Award Best in ClassGroundProbes GMS wins 2018 Good Design Award Best in Class
The winners of Australia’s Good Design Awards, the highest honour for design innovation in Australia, were announced at the Sydney Opera House on May 17 at the 60th Annual Good Design Awards Ceremony. GroundProbe’s Geotech Monitoring Station (GMS) received the prestigious Good Design Award Best in Class in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation. The award was won by GroundProbe and their industrial design partner, Designworks. The GMS was also a Good Design Award of the Year Nominee.The annual Good Design Awards is Australia’s most prestigious awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958. The awards celebrate the best new products and services on the market, excellence in architectural design, digital and communication design, and reward emerging areas of design including business model innovation, social impact and design entrepreneurship.The 60th Good Design Awards attracted record entries of 536 innovative designs with 269 projects receiving the coveted Good Design Award. Of these, there were only 30 Best in Class Award Winners, across a range of industries and design professions.“GroundProbe pride themselves on being at the forefront of design and innovation,” said Lachlan Campbell, GroundProbe’s VP Marketing and Technology. “To win a Good Design Award is a wonderful achievement in itself, but to also be crowned the winner of the prestigious Good Design Award Best in Class in Product Design is a true testament to our design team and their drive to create the best product possible,” Campbell said.Every year, Good Design Australia invites renowned design experts from Australia and around the world to participate in the Good Design Awards evaluation process.The Good Design Awards Jury commented – “The GMS system was developed with the user at the forefront of the design process. By conducting visual inspection remotely the product offers safety not available with any product currently on the market. The design is simple but highly effective and ideal for use in the open-pit mines. This product has the potential to save lives and provide reassurance to workers. Beautifully integrated UX workflow and remote access to the mine site is very clever and effective. The industrial design is considered and highly professional. Clever use of low cost metalwork powder coated with interesting angled shapes on the tripod provides a lovely robotic aesthetic which looks great while keeping the cost low. Everything about this product is exceptional and the design team should be extremely proud of the outcome.”The winners were presented with the new sustainably designed Good Design Award trophy in Sydney. Special guest, Jan Utzon (son of Jorn Utzon, who designed the Sydney Opera House) presented the Good Design Award of the Year on stage and congratulated all of the 2018 Winners.Last month, GroundProbe released its first laser-based monitoring solution to give early warning of impending collapses of open pit mine walls, dams, mine dumps and vegetated slopes, that can begin months or years before a collapse occurs. That was reported on this page.The GMS replaces traditional total stations that rely on mirrored prisms to be attached to the slope. The system can scan these points, but can also reflect its signal directly off the rock without the need for prisms; reducing the need for a dangerous industry practice.
Sony patents offline used game detection using RF tagsSony patents offline used game detection using RF tags
For the most part, publishers, game developers, and console manufacturers are not fans of used games. As far as they are concerned they limit the sales of new games and put the resale profit in the pockets of retailers alone. So it’s not surprising to see downloadable games embraced and experiments such as EA’s Project $10 and the PSPgo attempted. But Sony looks to be taking things a step further and preparing to limit or even block used games completely in the future.A new patent has been filed by Sony that details a way of detecting and limiting the use of a used game using an RF tag. Such a system would allow a console to detect a used game and take appropriate action, be that stopping its use or possibly demanding a payment be made before it is allowed to play. Importantly, using an RF tag means this check could be done without an Internet connection being required.The system works with a so-called use permission tag that would be attached to the game media. When a new game is first inserted into a console a unique media ID along with the console’s ID and user account ID is recorded (contactless) on the user permission tag. If that same game is then used in another console, the IDs are detected and appropriate action can be taken by the console as the game is clearly not brand new.It seems unlikely Sony would block the use of a used game completely. Instead, anyone buying a used game will probably be expected to pay Sony a fee to unlock it–a lot like how Project $10 works if you want multiplayer enabled (Online Pass). Even so, this permissions system is sure to put a major dent in the used game market if and when Sony decides to introduce it. If they do, it will most likely be a feature of the PS4.FPO, via NeoGAF Image credit Maschinejunge
ZTE launching Firefox OS phones in Europe and possibly the US thisZTE launching Firefox OS phones in Europe and possibly the US this
According to ZTE’s chief of U.S. operations Cheng Lixin, the company is on track to launch phones running Firefox OS in Europe in the coming months. Cheng didn’t disclose which carrier ZTE was negotiating with, though he did dangle a carrot for Americans. It’s possible that ZTE could sell its Firefox OS phones in the United States before 2013 is done, too. Whether a western push happens will depend on how the phones perform elsewhere and whether the company thinks U.S. consumers will be receptive.Details about the actual phones remain sketchy at this point, but it’s believed that one of the devices will be based on the ZTE V788d (above, left). It’s a modest foundation, which is in keeping with Firefox OS mission — it’s about putting a modern, web-first smartphone built with completely open software within anyone’s reach. The tweaked V788d is said to feature a single-core 1.5GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and a 3.5-inch display with a native resolution of 800×480. ZTE includes a 5MP rear-facing camera, but there’s no companion shooter on the front.The current V788d sells for around $130US off-contract, which is a reasonable price point for Mozilla and ZTE to target. It would be nice to see a front-facing came added, especially since Firefox now supports WebRTC and can handle standards-based video chat in web apps.Mozilla has been testing Firefox OS on a pair of ZTE devices, but specs for the second remain a mystery. Even if they were known, it’s highly likely that they’ll change somewhat before the phones go on sale. As excited as Firefox fans might be, they’ll have to sit tight until the Foundation and ZTE decide to divulge full details about the final hardware.
