The previous estimate of 3.9 million was from an earlier mortality study also done by the International Rescue Committee. The latest figure of 5.4 million results from a 5th survey of the country.
A new report says the number of people who've died in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo is much higher than previously thought. The report from the International Rescue committee says 5.4 million people have died since 1998. That's nearly one and a half million higher than previous estimates for the DRC.
Dr. Richard Brennan is director of the International Rescue Committee's global health programs and one of the lead author's of the mortality survey. From New York City, he spoke to VOA English to Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua about the findings.
"What we've been able to document with our most recent survey is that the mortality rates are elevated right across the Democratic Republic of Congo. And those rates are almost 60 percent higher than what we would expect for sub-Saharan as a whole. And those sustained elevations in mortality mean that even more than four years after the official end of war, 40,000 people are continuing to die every month in Congo," he says.
The previous estimate of 3.9 million was from an earlier mortality study also done by the International Rescue Committee. The latest figure of 5.4 million results from a 5th survey of the country. "So, essentially we're just updating our previous studies with this most recent survey," Brennan says.
Most of those who've died in the DRC conflict were not victims of violence,. In fact, less than one percent were. Instead, most fell victim to such things as malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition. Children have been hit hard. About half of the fatalities were children under the age of five, even though children make up only 19 percent of the population. Much of this can be blamed on the breakdown of health care systems and programs.
"When you do have ongoing conflict, when you do have bad guys walking around with guns, it can still cause major disruptions in what we would call the livelihoods of communities. Clinics don't work; vaccination programs don't operate; farmers can't work their land," he says.
Brennan says there's "no quick fix" and that a protracted conflict will require a protracted recovery.
The findings of the IRC survey are based on visits to 14,000 households in 35 districts of the DRC's 11 provinces.


This week G-d demonstrates how serious He is about making sure He is glorified (Lev. 10:3). Two of Aharon's sons took it upon themselves to worship G-d in a manner that He did not prescribe. The result was instant death. Aharon is silent when Moshe shares this dreadful news. What could he say? He knew that G-d gave specific instructions on how He is to be worshipped and Aharon had just made the offerings in the prescribed manner (Lev. 9:16). Had not Nadav and Avihu learned anything? Did they take G-d's instructions so lightly that they felt they could modify them at will? What is the problem? Shouldn't these young men have been blessed for their enthusiasm? Let's investigate the meaning of this by starting with the first word in this passage, "but." This little word tells us a lot about what happened. Notice in the previous verse "When all the people saw it [the glory of Adonai], they shouted and fell on their faces." Then we see the word "but." This word indicates Nadav (generous) and Avihu (he is my father) did not prostrate themselves before the glory of Adonai. They offered a fire of their own before Adonai requiring them to face the glory of Adonai as indicated in the words "before Adonai." It was as if these two thought they had special privileges and could approach G-d anyway they saw fit. They thought they were above their G-d just as King David believed when he committed adultery with Bathsheba. Would that Adonai allowed this unauthorized action, He would not have been revered as G-d who is in charge. After all, if Nadav and Avihu could modify the rules, look upon G-d and live, why can't we sing and dance our lives away and christen it as being filled with the Holy Spirit? Moreover, why can't we celebrate Easter and Christmas under the guise of loving Jesus and wanting to celebrate His ascension and birth? How can this be wrong? Immediately Adonai makes it clear that He will be glorified one way or another; either with our love and obedience demonstrated to the world, or through His use of other means.
Next, Adonai speaks to Aharon directly giving him instructions not to get drunk when they, as priests, they were involved in the holy service. Furthermore, this is a permanent regulation for everyone when serving G-d (Lev. 10:9). There is no prohibition against drinking in general as is taught in some other religions. We are to have our faculties about us so we can discern the mundane from the holy, the clean and unclean. Aharon and his sons were to remain sober when teaching the people of Israel all the laws Adonai had told them through Moshe. This role incurs an awesome responsibility and requires a clear mind and open heart. Perhaps Nadav and Avihu were intoxicated when they took it upon themselves to offer unauthorized fire to Adonai. This possibility is mentioned in the Chumash based on the subsequent restriction on drinking after the death of Nadav and Avihu.
Our G-d is a jealous G-d who demands allegiance to Him only (Ex. 20:5). Think back about the story of Abraham and Lot. Is not Lot comparable to a pig? He seemed kosher on the outside as he initially followed Abraham. The Hebrew translation of this story portrays Lot as a person who initially revered Abraham as a great teacher and mentor. However, as time passed, Lot lost all respect for Avraham through familiarity and greed. Remember the account in Genesis 13:8-11 where Avraham, ever the hospitable one offered Lot the choice of land. Lot in his greed perceived the whole plain of the Yarden that was well watered everywhere. As the younger of the two and out of respect for Avraham, he should have insisted Avraham choose first, or believing the plain of the Yarden to be the choicest land, chose to go in the other direction. Lot was greedy. He ended up in an idolatrous city of S'dom and 'Amora that was so filled with greed an inhospitable people that G-d destroyed it. This illustrates the emphasis on the pig as the epitome of uncleanliness in the eyes of G-d. Just as a pig looks kosher from the outside with the split hoof, Lot belonged to the family of Avraham and initially chose to leave his home and follow Avraham, making him appear righteous and clean. However as time passed, he became selfish and loose in his behavior and symbolically chose to wallow in the mire like the pig. Lot was filled with greed and compromise. It was for Avraham's righteousness that G-d physically separated Lot from S'dom and 'Amora before destroying them (Gen. 19:29).

Q: Mobile SDK react-native-maps I'm curious, has anyone got the package react-native-maps to work in the mobile SDK? I've been bashing my head against the wall for a while on this one now, so much so that i'd love some confirmation that this is indeed possible (building in iOS)..
I've tried the installation instructions here:
Git Repo
Also, tried many other 'guides' on how to do this - the best one being this one (that actually works in vanilla RN):React Native Maps Guide
But cannot make this work in a mobile SDK deployment.. This definitely has something to do with the linking to the native code, the MapView component always spits out some variant of an 'undefined' error when running in the emulator..

A: Okay, hopefully this one helps for someone else searching later on. This, I find out after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, is due to the version of RN deployed in the Mobile SDK (v5.2) that I was using.
To make this work, I had to downgrade the react-native-maps package to 0.12.4 as there was a breaking change introduced in that package for later versions of RN.
I have this working now with the package at 0.12.4 and V5.2 mobile SDK.

Q: Script to use ffmpeg or Liquidsoap as video automation broadcaster? I would like to build a module to broadcast a fake-live playlist dynamically to an rtmp server. There are may playlist broadcaster like Xsplit, VirtualCam with FFMLE, Wirecast but each of them need a good graphical card to work while cloud server may not have graphical cards. I tried both Liquidsoap with the following congif:
set("frame.video.width", 1280)
set("frame.video.height", 720)
set("frame.video.samplerate", 25)
set("gstreamer.add_borders", false)

s = single("/home/user/singlevideo.mp4")

s = fallback([s, blank()])

output.gstreamer.audio_video(
  video_pipeline=
    "videoconvert ! x264enc bitrate=2000 ! video/x-h264,profile=baseline ! queue ! mux.",
  audio_pipeline=
    "audioconvert ! voaacenc bitrate=96000 ! queue ! mux.",
  pipeline=
    "flvmux name=mux ! rtmpsink location=\"rtmp://127.0.0.1:1930/live/live live=1\"",
  s)

This is working well, but when I change it from single to playlist("/home/user/playlist.m3u") I got only a black screen (which is the fallback). If someone ever used Liquidsoap with video playlist what to change in this config to get it working?
For FFMPEG also it's working for single video file by cannot stream playlist. If someone have a script that can monitor ffmpeg process and change source 3 secs before end of current file or something like that?

A: I'm using it like this:
videosource = playlist(reload=3600, "/home/user/videostreams/videos.txt")
videoplaylist = mksafe(videosource)
theoracodec = %ogg(%theora(quality=25), %vorbis)

And then I'm outputting it to Icecast:
output.icecast(theoracodec,id="icecast_ogv",host="localhost",port=8000,password="passw",mount="video",description="Description",public=false,url="my_url",videoplaylist)

A: maybe this can help you

Bigg Boss show is turning out to be an interesting one. The show has a lot of special surprises for the audiences. Last night, the housemates got a new captain in the form of Roll Rida. Soon after taking up the responsibilities as a captain, Roll Rida was asked to send two housemates to the jail for breaking the rules of the house.
Roll Rida selected Babu Gogineni for speaking in English the most and Tanish for not holding up the mike properly. Both were sent to the jail. The housemates were unhappy that they were sent to the jail. Some of them asked Kaushal to utilize his jail card but he has turned a deaf ear for those requests.
Babu Gogineni is ready to face the jail life as he agreed that he spoke in English at times.


For something so simple, don't these look so fancy?
And only 1 measly gram of fat. Can you believe it?
Best of all, with the help of your toaster oven, these mega-cookies crisp up in less than ONE minute! Prepackaged crepes, where have you been all my life?
Of course, it couldn't be easier to fancy up a crepe. Filling them with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows before their party in the toaster oven gives you smores crepes. Blueberries and whipped cream (skip the toaster oven!) is also yummy.
But, have you ever thought to make a savory crepe?
Broccoli and Cheese for Mees, Please!
Heat olive oil in a large pan on mid-high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until onion is translucent.
Add spinach, broccoli, crushed red pepper, and water. Cover and let cook until water is gone, approximately 8 minutes.
While the vegetables cook, prepare each crepe by layering 2 slices of ham topped with 1 slice of cheddar on each crepe. Go close to, but not touching or over, the edge of the crepes.
Spoon the hot vegetable mixture evenly over each crepe.
Roll each crepe and place, seam down, on a nonstick or greased pan. Bake at 300F for 5 minutes.

Former Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan is telling the government to tell the public that health care will not be free at the Couva hospital.
In his budget presentation, Finance Minister Colm Imbert revealed that the hospital will be opened using a public/private arrangement.
However speaking with news power now this morning, Dr. Khan said private investors will not do it for free.
The former minister also expressed his disappointment in the budget with regards to the health sector.
Dr Khan said he is awaiting the budget debate to hear more from the health minister Terrence Deyalsingh.


As the Wright State faculty strike enters its third week, the university says it will hire long-term adjuncts to fill in for WSU faculty union (AAUP-WSU) members currently on strike.
"Wright State has begun posting advertisements for long-term adjuncts as the union's strike continues. We are looking forward to bringing in more, qualified instructors to provide instruction to our students as we move forward," university spokesman Seth Bauguess said in a statement.
The university has advertised positions for fields including STEM, Liberal Arts, and Business on The Chronicle of Higher Education's website. Bauguess was unable to say how many long-term adjuncts positions the university has advertised.
AAUP-WSU representatives say they do not take the job postings seriously.
The university's announcement follows previous statements claiming that all classes would be covered during a strike. On the first day of the strike, the university claimed that about 80 percent of all classes were covered "without issue," according to Office of Communications.
In some cases, classes have been placed on hold until March or cancelled altogether, according to department chairs.
Students in specialized fields, such as Motion Pictures, have been given alternative assignments while their professors are on strike. Assignments have included taking tours of the university library and attending guest speaker presentations, students have told The Guardian.
In the meantime, the university has encouraged students to meet with their department chairs and advisors. University Provost Susan Edwards announced that the university will hold advising sessions in the Student Union Atrium this Thursday from 3:30 to 9 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"Students should know we are working hard to prevent disruptions from continuing. We ask them to please contact their department chairs to report any further class schedule disruptions," University President Cheryl Schrader said.
Bauguess said that more AAUP-WSU members have returned to the classroom in the past week. 273 of the union's roughly 560 members are currently teaching, according to Bauguess.
"The actions of those faculty members who continue to participate in the union's strike do not change the university's obligations to its students, the taxpayers and our community to continue operating the university," Bauguess said.
Since day one of this semester, 246 students have dropped out of Wright State as of Thursday, Feb. 7, according to Craig This, director of Institutional Research and Analytics. That indicates a 1.8% difference from the number of students enrolled at the beginning of the semester to now.
Students of the School of Medicine remain unaffected by the strike, as none of their professors are represented by AAUP-WSU.
The deadline for students to withdraw from courses without a grade and receive a 100 percent refund is Friday, Feb. 8.


"the unknown source and origin of the universe and all reality."
This definition implies another question, what do we actually know about God the source and the origin of the universe and all reality that is objective, non-hypothetical and testable?
Unfortunately, absolutely nothing! We do now have several science based untested and unproven hypotheses on how the universe was formed pre-Big Bang thanks' to scientists like Joel Primack and Stephen Hawkings, but still nothing objectively provable.
While we have literally thousands of religious myths, metaphors and genesis stories about how the universe came into being what God is and what are God's qualities we still have absolutely no scientific evidence about the qualities, nature, destiny or intentions of what was in existence (God) or occurred the instant before the Big Bang happened. What religions do give us about this area is their subjective interpretations and/or anthropomorphic projections of what they believe or hope God is. Or, they give us what their sacred (often exclusive,) revelations have authoritatively told them to believe or have faith about what God is and how the universe came into being and what is our personal destiny.
The ironic paradox of these subjective religious interpretations, anthropomorphic projections or revelations based on some absolute authority is that they quite often contradict each other in significant ways, they almost always seem to confer special privileges and rights on only their special holders and paradoxically thousands of these religious statements simultaneously claim to be the only truth statements about God that can exclusively lead the holder to salvation.
In a shrinking world because of our advanced telecommunications and transportation these religions are coming into more contact and conflict with each than ever before and consequently more people are turning away from traditional religions because they see these and many other religion contradictions.
While there is still no objective evidence as of yet on what occurred one instant before the Big Bang occurred many things can be inferred or experienced from our current science about this universe creation event and possibly the most likely nature, purposes (progressive directionality of evolution,) and destiny of that which created our universe (God.) First, we can hold objective wonder and awe for this Great Mystery.
Next, on a subjective level, we can study the best of the myths, metaphors and genesis stories of the various religions to see what life-affirming meanings and values would best serve both the mutual sustainability and thriving of individual, community and humanity as a whole including its future generations. Finally and most importantly, we can look at what current science has told us about our origins in the universe, specifically how life at individual and community levels successfully evolves as well as how the facts of progressive evolution affect our identity and behavior. From understanding the science on progressive evolution we can also see that evolution has a trajectory and directionality and that we can partner and intentionally participate with the Great Mystery in co-evolving the universe.
In the Religion 2.0 we do not objectively define God when defined as the origin of the universe further than stating it is the remaining Great Mystery. We objectively invite our members to learn about the new Universe Evolutionary Worldview and its science at our Universe College to better understand the universe as the fruit of the "seed" which came before the universe and originated it.
We also invite our members to subjectively explore the most life-affirming myths, metaphors and genesis stories of the world's religions to gather more useful wisdom, meanings and values from humanity's effort to understand itself in light of the Great Origin Mystery responsible for its creation.
These are our Religion 2.0 terms convey the various aspects of the Great Mystery term or of the terms Ultimate Reality/God/Buddha etc as well as various sub-states of those terms.
We invite you into the potentially endless exploration and discovery adventure of continually better understanding what can be called God/Ultimate Reality both objectively and subjectively. We have provided a few links below that will augment this process.


We get many requests each month from people asking if we can take in a wolf or wolfdog, and while we wish we could help with all requests, the truth is that like other rescues and sanctuaries we receive far more requests than we have space available. See below for your options.
In our experience, at least 75% of the people who believe they are dealing with a wolf or wolfdog are not: many breeders are dishonest or ignorant, and most people (including most veterinarians and shelter workers) are not familiar with what constitute the true physical and behavioral differences between dogs and wolves. This pamphlet provides some information on proper identification. For the animal's own safety, we strongly suggest you do not label it as a wolf/wolfdog without compelling evidence.
IF YOU CAN KEEP THE ANIMAL: For owners who are having difficulty handling their wolfdog pet, we encourage you to try to make things work if possible—if the animal is surrendered to a shelter it will almost certainly be euthanized. There are a number of excellent resources available on caring for and handling wolfdogs. These include the books of Nicole Wilde (Wolfdogs A to Z and Living with Wolfdogs) and Dorothy Prendergast (especially Above Reproach: A Guide for Wolf Hybrid Owners), and the websites of The Wolf Dunn, The Wolfdog Project, Mission: Wolf, the Florida Lupine Association, and Wolf Park. Wolf Park also offers periodic seminars on training and handling wolfdogs. If your animal is extremely skittish, fearful, or difficult to train, consider finding a nearby experienced dog trainer who is willing to work with you. Also consider reading up on handling rescue dogs or dogs with fear problems, as many of the solutions applicable to these dogs will work with wolfdogs as well. If you would like any additional advice or references, feel free to email the Sanctuary Manager at curator@wolvesofsaintfrancis.org.
several good photographs of the animal from various angles (including full-body facing the camera and in profile; chest, legs, and feet; head from the front and in profile; back of animal including tail and legs; any videos that show the animal moving, vocalizing, exhibiting what you believe to be "wolf-like" behaviors, etc.
One of us will get back to you as soon as possible, and we will do everything we can to help you.

Good catch on the sprited PNG. That is not a case we currently account for!
I would argue quite the opposite. Given HTML5 options like srcset and the picture element, it's possible to not serve Retina images only to devices that need them. Excess pixels in images is the #1 driver for page bloat, so it can have a big effect on your user experience.

Leaked by a man claiming to be a bouncer at the New Zealand club that hosted the team on a rowdy night out, the 12-minute clip shows Mike talking animatedly to a long-haired blonde, who he then appears to embrace before she pulls his head down towards her – ahem, rather ample chest.
While Zara has yet to comment about the embarrassing footage, the Queen's favourite granddaughter is said to have discussed the incident in an 'emotional' telephone call with her red-faced hubby, before jumping on a plane to New Zealand to 'support' him during the final stages of the Rugby World Cup.
"Zara's like her mother – outspoken, fiery and very, very feisty" revealed a source. "She adores Mike, but won't take this lying down and will no doubt feel utterly humiliated by what has happened." Crikey. Sounds like there's a right royal showdown on the cards!

Leadenhall Building
Construction on the Leadenhall building, popularly known by its nickname "The Cheese Grater" for its characteristic wedge shape, began in the autumn of 2011 and the building was inaugurated in July, 2014, though the official opening did not take place until the 19th of October, 2015, with the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Henry as guests of honour. For its original design and personality it received the award for "Building of the Year in the City of London" in 2015.
The Leadenhall building is one of several skyscrapers that are transforming the City of London skyline. The current site of the Leadenhall building was formerly occupied by a 54-metre-high, 1960s-style office building, until this was demolished in 2007. In the early 90s an IRA bomb caused serious damage to the structure, and it had to be recoated. And after signing a £16 million contract, it was decided to demolish it and erect a new skyscraper.
Located in the heart of City, very close to St. Paul's Cathedral, its 225 metre height makes it one of the tallest buildings in London. It was designed by British architect Richard Rogers to be located alongside his other famous building, the Lloyd's building, headquarters of the insurance market Lloyd's of London. The latest innovations in construction techniques, a whopping 18,000 tons of steel, 70,000 square metres of glass and 483 km of cable were used in the construction. And the most amazing thing is that it only takes 30 seconds to reach the 45th floor, in other words the lifts climb at a rate of 8 metres per second. It's not surprising that they are the fastest panoramic lifts in Europe. And more curious figures ... construction of this office building created 9800 jobs, a significant figure bearing in mind it was built in the midst of the financial crisis, and required 2,669,586 man-hours of labour in the two years it took to build.
All this technology, however, did not mean the building would not suffer the occasional mishap, such as that which occurred shortly after its opening (between November 2014 and January 2015), when as many as 3 screws almost a metre in length detached themselves from the outer structure. Luckily there was no loss of life, though the Londoners were understandably alarmed. Truth be told, the citizens of the British capital had already experienced their fair share of scares, having seen the Millennium bridge wobble during its inaugural weekend, or looked on undaunted as the cars parked in the vicinity of the Fenchurch building melted due to a magnifying-glass effect created by its curved façade.
So don't miss out on the undeniable charm of this building, the architecture of which has been the recipient of an important award, as it already forms part of the history of London.

What is unlawfully in a dwelling-house?
If someone is in any sort of residence and uninvited, they could be charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling-house. It is assumed they have criminal intentions, such as theft, or perhaps to provoke an unwanted encounter with the home's residents.
Section 349 of the Criminal Code states: "Every person who, without lawful excuse, enters or is in a dwelling-house with intent to commit an indictable offence in it is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years or of an offence punishable on summary conviction."
To secure a conviction, the Crown must prove the accused had no justification for entering the premises or permission to enter, and that they intended to commit an indictable offence.
What if someone innocently enters a dwelling?
If someone is found in a dwelling but can show they had no intention to commit a criminal act, a case can be made that this charge is not applicable to them.
The second part of s. 349 of the Code states: "For the purposes of proceedings under this section, evidence that an accused, without lawful excuse, entered or was in a dwelling-house is, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, proof that he entered or was in the dwelling-house with intent to commit an indictable offence therein."
I had a client who had entered a construction work trailer parked on the street. He told me he did it just for fun, with no intention to steal or damage what was inside. But he was still charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling. After substantial negotiation with the Crown, where I pointed out that a work trailer didn't fit the definition of a residence and that he had no criminal intent, I was able to get the charge dropped.
In exchange, my client agreed to perform 10 hours of community service, leaving him with a clean criminal record.
Door knocking leads to unlawful entry charge
A man in Newfoundland was charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling-house after he knocked on a neighbour's door to complain about loud drumming going on inside. According to a judgment from the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, the man banged on the door three times.
"He says that after the third bang the door opened," court documents read. "He says that he did not open it but that he suspected that the locking mechanism was not working properly as the door opened following his banging and without him turning the doorknob … the defendant says that he did not enter."
Standing on the porch, the man spoke to a young female resident of the home, telling her "something to the effect that they were not allowed to have the music going as if at Mile One Stadium and that they could get a $500 fine for making the noise. After saying his piece, the defendant says that he turned and left and returned to his home."
Once home, the man phoned the mother of the children of the adjoining home to complain about the music. According to court documents, both the mother and daughter claimed the man was "loud and was swearing however there is no evidence that any threats were made by the defendant."
Police were called and the man was charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling-house. The court dismissed that charge "on the basis that the evidence did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant entered the home. The requisite intent to commit an indictable offence was likewise not proven," according to the judgment.
Drug use a common factor in this crime
People charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling-house are often under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
In Guelph, Ont., a man was arrested after the homeowner saw him climb a property fence when she was out on a dog walk, a story states. Police were called, and when officers arrived at the scene, the man "appeared disoriented, later revealing to police he had ingested cocaine."
In Thunder Bay, Ont., five suspects were facing numerous charges including being unlawfully in a dwelling-house after being found with "crack cocaine, a quantity of cash and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking," according to a news report.
"Officers learned a number of people were in a home that should have been vacant, and entered the residence to clear it," the story adds.
In Halifax, "a combination of drink, tiredness and hunger led to the arrest of a 20-year-old uninvited man" in a home, according to this story.
It states that at 3 a.m., "a homeowner woke up only to find an intoxicated man sleeping on the sofa. They say it appears he entered through an unlocked door, made a snack for himself and then fell asleep on the couch in the living room."
The story adds that "a cup of tea and jam on a tortilla was made" by a man who later faced charges for possessing drugs and being unlawfully in a dwelling-house.
Feeding the animals no defence
In Kamloops, B.C., residents returned to their home to "find a stranger sitting on their couch with a cup of coffee," according to a news story. "He had started a fire in the fireplace and prepared himself a meal. He said he had been driving by and the door was open, so he came in," the Crown attorney told a provincial court.
"The accused appears to have done some laundry. He also fed the cats and put out some hay for the horses," said the prosecutor, according to the report: "He used (the residents') toothbrush and shaver, he had taken some meat out of the freezer to thaw and he had written in their diary."
He also wrote in the diary, "I don't feel alone here, I guess with 2 cats and 3 horses it's kinda hard to be alone," the story states. "Last night I had a fire in the house. It was so (peaceful). I slept like a little baby."
Courts consider this a 'serious offence'
While the charge of being unlawfully in a dwelling-house is less serious than being charged with break and enter, it is still a crime, as reinforced by a Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador judgment.
The accused was sentenced to 35 days in jail for being unlawfully in a dwelling-house. The judgment noted: "Being unlawfully in a dwelling house is a serious offence and the sentence that I give [the accused] must deter him and others from re-offending. I received a victim impact statement … it is clear to me from reviewing it that [the victim] feels defiled at how [the accused] and his companions violated her privacy. This quotation from the victim impact statement underscores my observation: 'Since the break-in happened I've got an insecurity that it will happen again. When I leave the house I have to check over and over again that the doors are locked. I'm afraid to leave the house at any given time.'"
Often accompanied by other charges
Many people charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling-house also face other charges related to the incident. According to this judgment from the Manitoba Court of Appeal, the appellant had been given a 7.5-year sentence by a lower court for the crime of being unlawfully in a dwelling-house. He was also handed a five-year sentence for robbery, a two-year sentence for uttering threats of death/bodily harm and a one-year sentence for fraudulent personation with intent to gain advantage, all to be served concurrently.
Court was told "the accused went to the victim's home with an unnamed accomplice to enforce a drug debt of the victim, a crack cocaine addict. The accused and the accomplice gained entry to the victim's home at 5:00 in the morning. The victim was asleep in bed. A female housemate, who is cognitively impaired and has mental health issues, opened the door. The victim was beaten, robbed and threatened with a steel object. The vulnerable housemate was also threatened."
In denying the appeal, the court noted: "The Crown appropriately acknowledges that the seven and one-half-year sentence is significant for the offence of unlawfully being in a dwelling-house. However, the Crown argues that the sentence is entitled to deference, given the offences committed by the accused, his background and the entirety of the circumstances … while it may have been preferable, from an analytical perspective, if the trial judge had attributed the highest sentence to the robbery, we see no error in principle by the trial judge attributing the highest sentence to the offence of being unlawfully in a dwelling-house in the circumstances of this case."
Experienced counsel makes the difference
Those charged with being in a dwelling-house should seek legal advice as soon as possible. If you are convicted it could mean jail time and a criminal record that will impact your reputation and ability to find other work. Don't take that chance. Call me for a free consultation in either official language. I will be the only person you speak to at my firm and I will fight for the best outcome.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Tiger Woods' drama-filled win Sunday at Augusta National made for a memorable Masters.
The severe weather that threatened to create havoc on the course never materialized, but the chaos came anyway. The leaderboard was a volatile place for about an hour, with players rising and falling every few minutes.
Francesco Molinari was the leader at one point before hitting into the water at No. 12. Then it was Xander Schauffele and even Patrick Cantlay for a brief moment. Dustin Johnson was in the hunt for a while. So was Brooks Koepka. Jason Day came out of nowhere to get back into contention.
The dizzying changes were nearly impossible to follow - even for players competing on the course. Roars from the crowd were coming from every corner of August National. The lead was there for the taking.
"It changed hands about, what, five times?" Koepka said. "Everybody was kind of going up and then down, up and down again."
In the end, it was Woods celebrating on the 18th green after capturing his fifth Masters title. Koepka, Schauffele and Johnson were a shot behind. Four others, including the third-round leader Molinari, were two shots back.
"There were so many different scenarios that could have transpired on that back nine," Woods said. "There were so many guys that had a chance to win. Leaderboard was absolutely packed and everyone was playing well. You couldn't have had more drama than we all had out there, and now I know why I'm balding.
"This stuff is hard."
It's also fun to watch.
Because of the threat of thunderstorms, tee times were pushed up several hours for the final round. Players were in groups of three instead of the usual pairs and the leaders teed off at 9:20 a.m. so the tournament could end by mid-afternoon.
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said the final round worked out better than anyone could have predicted.
As Woods walked off the course, he exchanged hearty hugs with previous Masters winners as fans screamed and chanted his name.
"Look at everybody who wants to be here and lay eyes on this," Monahan said. "It's going to be interesting how people describe this in the context of great moments in sports."
Some players said on Saturday they were pleased about the early start because it didn't allow much time to let the pressure build. And most players chasing the leaders seemed to play relaxed.
There were 11 players who finished within three shots of the lead. All of them finished the tournament with a score of 10-under or better, which is the most in Masters history.
Even some of the players allowed themselves some awe.
"It was really cool coming down the stretch, all the historic holes, Amen Corner, 15, 16, Tiger making the roars," Schauffele said.
Most of the players who lost still left feeling pretty good about themselves. Woods was the big winner, but in many ways, so was the sport.
"With what we just witnessed with Tiger coming off 18, it was a throwback, seeing him in red in the mock turtleneck," the 25-year-old Schauffele said. "It's what I saw as a kid, and it was just really cool to know him a little bit now and congratulate him coming off 18."

We can announce that the cancelled Milton Keynes show has now been re-scheduled.
The Theatre Box Office will shortly be phoning people who booked tickets for the original Concert on March 4th offering them the same seats for the replacement Concert on Thursday 10th September.
The general sale of tickets will go on sale on Friday 20th March.
We couldn't make the original Milton Keynes concert in March but we went to the re-arranged show last night and, as usual, thoroughly enjoyed it. We met up with fellow Hollies fans Bieneke and Malcolm plus Andre who had flown over from Holland especially for the concert.
This was the final Hollies concert of 2015 and they were in top form. There was the usual banter from the lads and Tony announced that they were finally here after 6 months of waiting, explaining Peter's emergency illness back in March.
We were sitting near the back of the theatre this time and I must say that the stage lighting was fantastic. Usually we're near the front and had not appreciated how good the lighting really is.
I was sitting next to a couple who had moved to England from South Africa about 15 years ago and had not seen The Hollies before. The chap literally had tears in his eyes during He Ain't Heavy. He had not witnessed anything so emotional at a concert before.
Here I Go Again, I Can't Let Go, Sorry Suzanne, On A Carousel, Emotions, Very Last Day, We're Through, Look Through Any Window, Priceless (the new song written by Peter and Bobby and sung perfectly- a Peter solo), Weakness, Just One Look, Stay, Curly Billy.
Stop In The Name of Love, Jennifer Eccles, Yes I Will, Bus Stop, I'm Alive, The Baby, Sandy, Carrie Anne, Stop Stop Stop, He Ain't Heavy, The Air That I Breathe, Long Cool Woman.
So that's it until next year!
Thank you for the review, John.
Thanks for the review John. So far, I've got tickets for Crawley and Wimbledon next year.
No problem, Frostina and Dawn.
I'm hoping to get to Kings Lynn next spring and then see what the autumn tour brings us!


Sharon Van Etten performed at Royal Albert Hall in London earlier this month as part of the BBC's annual Proms concert series, and now footage of her performance has made its way online. Titled "New York: Sound of a City," the episode featured various artists from the city performing alongside the Heritage Orchestra and for Van Etten's performed, she covered LCD Soundsystem's timeless ode to the city, "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down." Led by conductor Jules Buckley, the performance starts with a swell of strings and delicate piano before Van Etten arrives with applause, slowly building from the song's soft beginnings to titanic heights by the end as horns, drums, and electric guitars barge into the mix. Watch a clip of the performance below.


Is Jesus a zombie wizard who also knows kung fu???
The quote (Jesus is a zombie wizard who also knows kung fu) comes from a song called WWJD? by the band Axis of Awesome (if you are of a delicate mindset don't listen to it, you won't enjoy it, I love it but then again I have a very weird sense of humour). But it is a question that the church needs to address.
Is Jesus a undead sorcerer who can fly and do kung fu and shoot laser beams from his eyes and do ballet on Saturdays and just about anything else he wants to whenever he feels like it?
This is what a lot of society seem to think; it's mainstream thought – Jesus is some kind of magic zombie, raised to life, not to eat our brains but, to show us how to do good things for other people and generally be nice.
But that is not what the resurrection is. We've lost the meaning; we've lost the mystery; we've lost the depth of what it truly is.
Now, as we all know strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government and a fairytale about a zombie with mystical powers is no basis for the founding of a religion. Nor should it be – if that is all we have then we may as well be the Church of Buffy or the Temple of Spike.
But that is not what we believe. At the very core of what we, as a church, believe is the fact that we serve a risen Lord; a resurrected Jesus, and the resurrection is far more than just a story; it's bigger than a note on the page of history; it's what makes Christianity so appealing to so many. It's the living proof that a new start is possible.
Yes, in some way I suppose it is but it is also far more – Like Gandalf and Aslan, Jesus was seen by many people after that first Easter Sunday morning. Like the White Wizard and the friendly lion he also did some pretty cool things for a guy who had been dead for three days; they led armies and defeated Sauron and the wicked Queen, Jesus cooked breakfast and walked through walls (read the Gospels it's all there, I'm not making this stuff up).
So yes, the resurrection is important; Jesus rose from the dead (we cannot stress the enormity of this enough) but many in the church aren't sure exactly what that means.
For some it's the simple (????) idea that Jesus rose from the dead – literally came back to life and was a walking, talking person again. No different from before except for a few nail holes.
For others it is more the idea of a spiritual resurrection, that he came back as some form of visible spirit, seen by many, able to speak and act as Jesus did. These are just two of loads of thoughts on what the resurrection is.
But what it is is nowhere near as important as what it means. Whatever you believe and however you perceive the resurrection, the stunning fact surrounding it is that Jesus is still knowable, we can still encounter Jesus and the power of the resurrection today. It's all about a new start and the power to rebuild.
That's the message of the resurrection. It's the story of a new start. I love the resurrection because for me it sums up what the we, as the Church, are all about.
You see for me the Church is a place of resurrection, a place of new beginnings. The resurrection is a cosmic statement that no one is so far gone that they cannot be brought back. Even death cannot stop resurrection – that's the Easter message. Not that Jesus is a Zombie wizard who may, or may not, know Kung Fu but that we are all offered the chance of a new start through the events of that first Easter Sunday morning.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen this happen but I can tell you every time it is special, every time it is unique. And it never gets old.
I've seen the homeless person who finally realises that they have worth and that God loves them for who they are not what they think they should be – that's resurrection!
I've seen the be-suited businessman too busy for God who finally sees that God isn't too busy for him – that's resurrection.
I've been there and seen the old lady in hospital who, in recounting her life story to a newly ordained minister, sees the impact God has had on others through what she has done and weeps tears of joy – that's resurrection.
I've witnessed the gay guy who hated God who, when he found his true love, realised that it wasn't God who hated him at all, it was just some of his so called helpers – that's resurrection – right there.
Or it may be one of millions of other people who find that God is not what they expected but exceeds all they ever thought – that's resurrection.
If you are looking for a kung fu chopping, magic wielding zombie called Jesus – you won't find him here but you will find an ever loving Christ who will not give up on you even when you give up on him.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF GOD TO RESURRECT!

Jesus cares more about relationships than rules.
The title for this blog is from a sermon by Rev David Hansen – I saw it on twitter and I found it very thought provoking. I must admit I haven't heard the sermon. So in the tradition of pinching other peoples' writing, I would like to add that all similarities to any actual sermon, living or dead, are totally coincidental.
We only really have four books that tell us of Jesus' life. Thousands (maybe millions) of others have been written about those four books but Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (the Gospels) are the only real reference points we have. Looking through those books I don't find Jesus sticking to the rules very often – he lets his disciples pick and eat corn on the Sabbath – that's a no no: he heals people on the Sabbath – a HUGE no no: he talks to a woman by a well, without her husband there – NO, JESUS NO: she's a Samaritan woman: REALLY NO JESUS, REALLY, REALLY NO!: he stops a crowd from stoning a sinner – who is this guy? It's the law (and good fun)!!.
Quite a few rules broken there and it seems that each time a rule is broken it is done so that Jesus can spend time with people who needed just that – time, and more importantly time with Jesus.
So what has changed in 2000 or so years? People still need time with Jesus. Why has what's important gone from being human beings to rules and regulations? Why is it that we forget the people? And the first ones we forget are usual the marginalised, the poor, the outcasts – the ones who really can't afford to be forgotten.
Jesus cares more about relationships than rules – read the Gospels – it's blinding obvious.
I used to go to a church where you didn't wear jeans in a Sunday – it was frowned upon by the church elders, as a consequence of this and other rules we had a nice, middle class church where no one rocked the boat, and no-one who wasn't like us was welcome. We were safe, secure Christians and we didn't bother God very much, and he certainly didn't bother us. I went back there to preach a few years ago and, as it was a communion service, I issued the invitation to "all to come to the table" – the service was stopped as I was reminded by a stern faced elder that only, and I quote, "paying members have the privileged of coming to the Lord's Table". The worst part is he was serious!!! Church has become the local golf club, as long as you pay your subs you're in, what happens when you can't? Does God's grace suddenly get turned off because you've hit a bit of a rough patch?
When did who is allowed to take the bread and wine at communion become more important than "let the children come to me and do not hinder them"? Why, in some places, are the church accounts more important than "if you do this for the least of these you do it for me"? Since when did who can come to a service become a higher church law than "love your neighbour as yourself"?
I'm not saying we should dispense with rules and order altogether and have the Melbourne Welsh Church of Anarchy and Chaos; Jesus didn't dispense with rules altogether – but when rules become more important to us than people I think we're in dangerous waters, steering toward trouble. People still need to be given time and, more importantly, time with Jesus. Relationships are more important than rules.
It was a well made point. The question behind the comment, I think, was should the Church, indeed any church, be speaking on Party Political matters.
On more than one occasion I have brought up the Australian government's treatment of asylum seekers and the Federal Government has been denigrated as to the treatment of asylum seeks/illegal immigrants.
Yes, it most certainly has and it will continue to be as long as it continues to break the International Convention on Human Rights. So will the Labour Party and the Greens and anyone else who does. The post was not meant to be party political but it certainly was political. I will slam anyone who mis-treats other human beings the way the Federal government is; if anyone can read the Gospels and tell me that Jesus would condone the what is going on in places like Manus Island and the way human beings are seen as political bargaining chips I, for one, would question their reading of the Gospel. These people are the Samaritans of today, hated by government and pushed to one side and I don't remember Jesus avoiding the Samaritans. In fact he broke long standing rules just to make time for them. People still need to be given time and, more importantly, time with Jesus.
Relationships ARE more important than rules – being church is about building community through relationships with all sorts of different people. It's what Jesus did and it's what we should do. After all everybody has a story to tell and everyone has a place in the Kingdom of God, Jesus never forgot that – neither should we!!!


The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of the most visited tourist attraction in Africa. This working harbor is situated between Robben Island and Table Mountain. Visitors will find some of Cape Town's best restaurants, pubs and various shops where they can spend their money. It also houses Nelson Mandela Gateway which offers boat trips to Chavonnes Battery Museum, Two Oceans Aquarium and Robben Island.


Well done- a nice feel-good story.
Good for you! When I retired, I sold my 4 x 4 and bought a Toyota Prius. Very economical … but on days like we have recently had, I have really missed my old car. I could have certainly used it yesterday to help people out who were stuck trying to drive up the ungritted road outside my house.

Q: understanding of a proof of the invariance of 3-D laplacian? I learned the proof of the fact that 3-D laplacian is invariant under all rigid motions in space in Strauss's Partial Differential Equations:

Any rotation in three dimensions is given by
  $${\bf x'}=B{\bf x},$$
  where $B$ is an orthogonal matrix. The laplacian is
  $$\Delta u=\sum_{i=1}^3 u_{ii}=\sum_{i,j=1}^3\delta_{ij}u_{ij}$$
  where the subscripts on $u$ denote partial derivatives. Therefore,
  $$
\Delta u=\sum_{k,l}\Big(\sum_{i,j}b_{ki}\delta_{ij}b_{lj}\Big)u_{k'l'}
=\sum_{k,l}\delta_{kl}u_{k'l'}
=\sum_{k}u_{k'k'}.
$$

Added:
I believe the chain rule is needs here, but I don't see how it is applied here.
Here is my question:
How can I get the first equality, i.e.
$$\Delta u=\sum_{k,l}\Big(\sum_{i,j}b_{ki}\delta_{ij}b_{lj}\Big)u_{k'l'}?$$

A: I strongly dislike the use of undecorated subscripts for partial derivatives, so I will write $\partial_j$ for the partial differentiation operator $\partial / \partial x_j$. For convenience I will use the summation convention for repeated indices.
Firstly, we have the change-of-coordinates equation $\tilde{x}_{i'} = B_{i' j} x_j$. The chain rule states
$$\frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} = \frac{\partial \tilde{x}_{i'}}{\partial x_j} \frac{\partial}{\partial \tilde{x}_{i'}}$$
so, writing $\tilde{\partial}_{i'}$ for the operator $\partial / \partial \tilde{x}_{i'}$, putting these together, we have $\partial_j = B_{i' j} \tilde{\partial}_{i'}$. The Laplacian is defined by $\nabla^2 = \delta_{i j} \partial_i \partial_j$, so substituting the previous equation in we obtain $\nabla^2 = \delta_{i j} B_{i k'} B_{j l'} \tilde{\partial}_{k'} \tilde{\partial}_{l'}$. By orthogonality, $\delta_{i j} B_{i k'} B_{j l'} = B_{j k'} B_{j l'} = \delta_{k' l'}$, so we are done.
