India Lockdown 5.0: Health Ministry dials AIIMS for Covid guidance; Trump formally notifies UN to cut ties with WHO
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has roped in specialist doctors from the AIIMS to provide expert guidance and knowledge on clinical management of Covid-19 infected patients in the ICUs to reduce the fatality rates. The Trump administration formally notified the United Nations of its decision to withdraw from the World Health Organisation due to the negligence shown in regards to the pandemic. The WHO acknowledges evidence that the virus may be airborne. ETCFO brings these updates and more.

Covid-19: the current count in India
As per the Health Ministry, the total number of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in India have reached a tally of 769,052, whereas 476,554 people have recovered and the death toll is at 21,144. Around the world, the virus has infected 12,170,572 and killed 7,069,288 people.
Clinical management guidance
In a bid to reduce the fatality rate amid the pandemic the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has roped in specialist doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to provide expert guidance and knowledge on clinical management of Covid-19 infected patients in the ICUs to support doctors in manning the state hospitals. The guidance will be provided to different state hospitals through tele/video consultation. Ten hospitals with more than 1000 beds, including nine from Mumbai (Maharashtra) and one from Goa will participate in the first session.
"They will handhold the states in clinical management of Covid-19 patients to reduce the case fatality rate. These tele-consultation sessions for providing timely and expert guidance to the doctors in the states shall be conducted twice every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays," the ministry said in its statement.
For the subsequent sessions, a 'calendar' of expert-led tele-consultation sessions has been drawn up to cover the States till July 31. This will cover 17 states including; Delhi, Gujarat, Telangana, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Jharkhand and Maharashtra, said the ministry.
Winter 2021 may be deadly without vaccine
With a change of season and absence of a Covid vaccine, India may record about 2.87 lakh projected cases per day by the end of winter 2021 due to the pandemic, said a modelling study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study used data from 84 countries spanning 4.75 billion people to create the epidemiological model. It noted that the top ten countries by projected daily infection rates at the end of winter 2021 were India with 2.87 lakh infections per day, followed by the US, South Africa, Iran, Indonesia, the UK, Nigeria, Turkey, France, and Germany.
As per the study, projections have been considered under three scenarios:
1. Using the current country-specific testing rates and response functions moving forward;
2. If an enhanced testing of 0.1% per day is adopted on July 1; and
3. If sensitivity of contact rate to perceived risk is set to 8, leaving testing at current levels.
The findings indicate that the first two scenarios project a very large burden of new cases in the fall 2020, with cases being concentrated in a few countries estimated to have insufficient responses given perceived risks, primarily India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the US.
However, the study acknowledges that the projections are highly sensitive to assumed testing, behavioural, and policy responses, and as such they should be interpreted as indicators of potential risk and not precise predictions of future cases. It added that more rigorous testing and reductions in contacts in response to risk perception will significantly reduce future cases while laxer response and normalisation of risks can lead to overwhelming breakouts.
WHO's flip-flops
US President Donald Trump announced that America is terminating its relationship with the WHO and China due to the deaths and destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe. The funding of WHO will be diverted to other global public health organisations, while a series of decisions against China have been taken.
The Trump administration has formally notified the United Nations (UN) of its decision to withdraw from the global health body amidst the pandemic following up on the US President Donald Trump's announcement that America is terminating its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO) and China due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The development comes after the WHO has earlier stated that it found no evidence of Covid-19 being made in a laboratory in China. The President had accused the global health body of siding with China whom he holds responsible for the deaths and economic destruction caused by the pandemic across the globe. He halted funding to the organisation in mid-April and took a series of decisions against China, including proclamation to deny entry to certain Chinese nationals; tightening of regulations against Chinese investments; and terminating special treatment of Hong Kong. Around the globe, the European Union and other countries including US, Australia, and India have called for a "stepwise process of impartial, independent and comprehensive evaluation" of the WHO's response to the Covid-19 probe.
Meanwhile China's Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian has called USA's current action as "another demonstration of pursuing unilateralism and breaking contracts. WHO is the most authoritative and professional international institution in the field of global public health security". He also added that the departure will undermine the international anti-epidemic efforts, and in particular will have a serious negative impact on developing countries in urgent need of international support.
In another update, the WHO has acknowledged that airborne particles of the Covid-19 virus can infect people with the virus, after evidence was presented of the possibility of airborne transmission in specific public settings which are either crowded, closed or poorly ventilated.
On Monday, 239 scientists from 32 countries had written an open letter to the WHO, outlining the evidence that smaller particles of the Covid-19 virus can infect people and had requested the agency to revise its recommendations for the pandemic. It stated that airborne transmission is a significant factor in the pandemic, masks would be needed indoors, even in socially distant settings.
Earlier the WHO's Covid-19 updates released June 29, had stated that the airborne transmission of the virus among the population was possible only after medical procedures that produce aerosols, or droplets smaller than 5 microns. (A micron is equal to 1 millionth of a meter.) Therefore, proper ventilation and N95 masks are of concern only in those circumstances. The agency had heavily promoted the importance of handwashing as a primary prevention strategy, even though there is limited evidence for transmission of the virus from surfaces. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says surfaces are likely to play only a minor role.
Free grains & cooking gas distribution
In a follow up of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of expanding the duration of PM Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana to help the needy amid the pandemic, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday has approved the scheme to distribute free food grains to the country's poor till the end of November, 2020 to help them cope with the economic pain of the Covid-induced lockdown. The government will spend a total of Rs 1.5 lakh crore on the scheme to provide more than 80 crore people with five kg free food grains per person along and one kg pulses per month for the duration. Also, the government has allowed 7.4 crore poor women to avail of three free LPG cylinders till September. Previously, they were allowed to avail this quota till June, 2020.

You are rightEdit
Primary focus can mean a third, regardless of what some people think. A focal point is where the eye is drawn, or the attention is drawn. There can be multiple, but the primary is the largest draw. Some people just want to bash others and don't care if they look silly in doing so. 173.153.5.108 03:28, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

You can thank Rhoark. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
I am thankful to Rhoark, though perhaps the true credit belongs to StukaLied at WikiInAction.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 23:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Comment?Edit
Any comment on Jimbo's allegation that you sent pages and pages to Arbcom and that you were banned for those emails? I follow (but very rarely post) WikiInAction on Reddit so I'd appreciate it if you'd post your in-depth thoughts there. I was immediately accused by Jimbo of being involved with Gamergate, which sounds to me like he's being manipulated by Arbs like Gamaliel, GorilliaWarfare and Keilana. My assumption is that you may have sent them damning evidence about a certain editor (probably Gamaliel) and that they used that as an excuse to ban you. I've seen similar things on RationalWiki where they ask editors for evidence that they are wrong, but when that evidence is provided it is used as an excuse to ban. 67.42.181.170 20:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
I was away for a bit. My earlier response was before I saw Jimbo's distorted claims about the situation. Check Jimbo's talk page here for a new comment soon. As far as who I presented evidence against, while I will not say exactly who it was, I will say that it was not a current or former member of ArbCom and it wasn't anyone involved in the GamerGate dispute on Wikipedia. That is as far as I will go with regards to who it is I reported.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 04:27, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
I hope you reconsider and post your full evidence elsewhere. I was just informed by an Arbcom member that "ilk" was a sexist insult and I deserved an IP ban over it. These people have no shame and I'm convinced now more than ever that they are lying about your case. 67.42.176.110 16:26, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
There was undoubtedly some deceit involved in this case. GorillaWarfare may be an incompetent and horrifically biased in carrying out her duties, but she's not dumb. She undoubtedly knew well enough that her notification would lead me to believe they took my complaint seriously and would act on it and also that I would have an expectation of discussion if they had any concerns, all the while probably knowing or anticipating that I would be banned without ever having the chance to address anything. Given that, I also think their decision to claim I "harassed" editors plural was not a mistake, but another deliberate act of trickery on their part. They wanted me to be confused about what was happening. I am sure they would justify that as "we didn't want to give him any ideas about what it concerned", but I think that is bull.
How Drmies is responding just seems more indicative of this as I don't think there is any way he could sincerely take the line that I am applying an overly broad interpretation of COI policy on this case. Even absent COI claims the WP:INVOLVED actions and BLP violations I pointed out to them would still be valid and I am definitely not being broad in my take on those actions. Doesn't help that this is not the first time I provided compelling evidence of repeated COI activity by an editor, that also included attacks on living people, only for the Committee to do nothing and there was and is absolutely zero allowance for doubt in that case.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:11, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
I looked up Drmies and found this link. Even my brief interactions with Drmies echo that case - calling "ilk" a sexist slur and deserving of a ban. Drmies has a pattern of grossly exaggerating the actions of others when s/he is pushing for a ban. I would not be surprised if she did the same to you, which makes her description of your charges as "baseless" extremely suspect in my opinion. 67.42.177.76 00:05, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Drmies is a guy, just so you know.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 00:13, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
EmailEdit
I've sent you an Email. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 00:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Mathsci says that you're wrong about MastCellEdit
Mathsci says that you're wrong about MastCell:
[REDACTED EMAIL]
He didn't provide me with instruction about what to do with this information, but I'm guessing that he assumed that you gave me your Email address and he wants me to tell you that you're wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have your Email address, since you didn't reply to my message, so I can't forward his Email to you, so posting his message to your talk page is the next best thing. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:39, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
You know what they say happens when you assume. Mathsci is assuming quite a bit here and wrongly. See my response to the IP above, MastCell was involved in the GamerGate dispute on Wikipedia so he has nothing to do with my e-mail. The admin I spoke to ArbCom about is most definitely the person I identified to them. I can say this with certainty because right after one of my e-mails the individual made edits to a personal site to remove details I specifically mentioned in that e-mail. Another piece of evidence was that mere hours after the admin created an article on an individual, the creation of the page was "discovered" by the person on another site. Other details already provided a very strong circumstantial case about the admin.
Did he just throw this idea your way or something? He should ignore me and go back to testing the boundaries of his race and intelligence topic ban or making cute little edits to bios of people with the same names as his wiki-enemies after they criticize him on another site. That said, I did send an e-mail to ArbCom about MastCell, months after my ban. It was when he was brought up in the context of a GMO topic ban he imposed. That e-mail only made a decent circumstantial case and noted the various times when that would be an issue if it were true. No idea if ArbCom confirmed it or considered it, though I do feel it is strong enough to make it more likely than not that it is true. Cla68 had alluded to that claim about MastCell without stating anything specific enough to identify a specific person as him and the Arbs demanded evidence, so I sent it to them.
Incidentally, GorillaWarfare wanted to use Cla68's comment as cause for banning him for "outing" or some such nonsense. She was really on the warpath from what he told me. Hence I was not too surprised that the moment she (and MastCell) had even the thinnest piece of evidence to use against him they got him banned. I don't know if he mentioned this on a restricted part of WO after his ban happened, even though I pointed out it might be connected to the ban seeing as MastCell and GorillaWarfare were the ones directly involved in his ban. So, Mathsci is barking up the wrong tree as usual with me as the e-mail I sent that apparently got me banned did not concern MastCell and there is not really a chance I misidentified the admin.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 17:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes, he just threw that idea my way. No explanation or instruction. The Email he sent was also completely unsolicited. We haven't spoken via Email for years. Also, it looks like I'm not the only person Mathsci contacted privately recently. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Now what?Edit
Your appeal to Jimbo ended, so I'm wondering what you have planned now. I know that you've sent more evidence to ArbCom recently, but since your initial Email didn't convince them, I don't see how their response to your latest Email would be any different. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
I have been busy the past few days and I will probably be busy today as well, but I have been meaning to respond to some of the claims made. Suffice to say, I don't think with all the evidence they have that any claim other than the admin being the person I identified makes sense. The claims that I am taking a too-liberal view of both COI and WP:INVOLVED are not claims that I think would stand up in an objective evaluation of the admin's actions in light of policy and established precedent. Given the context of the case, it is more than likely that there is a significant bias regarding the admin that is preventing Jimbo and the Committee (at least those who have publicly defended the decision) from evaluating this fairly. Some in the community may also have a hard time being objective about it, but I think any sober examination of the evidence would not dismiss my case as "baseless" or as having "nothing to it" nor argue that I am being overly broad in my understand of relevant policy as those familiar with the evidence have characterized my report.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 16:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
RevDelEdit
I've revdeleted the entries with the e-mail text, as there may be legal issues if the sender of the e-mail did not permit its public release. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 19:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Ah, I am glad to know there is yet another reason to detest the French legal system. Guess Mathsci didn't want anyone to know he was privately trying to spread false speculation about the reasons for my ban. Otherwise I doubt he would have bothered with such technicalities. Nothing against you since you are just acting on a valid legal complaint, but it does annoy me that he can say whatever he likes about me to others in private and then have the evidence erased should anyone leak it.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 20:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Mathsci has a history of asking Avraham to RevDel stuff. Judging from an Email Mathsci sent me, he requested RevDel'ling on April 24th. Given the response time, I would say that Mathsci contacted a single sysop (Avraham) privately instead of seeking aid from a group (e.g. Meta's Oversight team). Mathsci apparently didn't notice that Avraham was away at the time. Despite the delay, Mathsci apparently didn't seek out a second, active sysop to contact. I guess that the issue wasn't actually urgent ("it can wait"), and I guess that Mathsci perfers keeping knowledge about incidents like these to the fewest number of people possible, people he can trust and predict. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:14, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Mathsci thanked you for making the above post. I'm not sure why. Is this his way of saying, "I'm watching you"? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Seems he thanked you not me. Are you just quoting the notification you got? I don't particularly care what his intention is with it and I hardly mind him watching what I do so long as he doesn't mess with me.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant "me", not "you". He's now "thanking" a bunch of my posts, spamming my notifications. I consider this to be abuse of the thanking feature. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:47, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat#Mathsci_is_abusing_the_thanking_feature_to_spam_my_notifications – I've reported Mathsci's abuse of the thanking feature. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:54, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
I would suggest that Mathsci is looking to provoke you. His e-mail to you may have even been a part of that. Given that you are known to be a leaker he may have intended for you to leak it so he could try and get you in trouble, get me in trouble, or both. Now he is just trolling you to provoke you into actions that can lead to a "boomerang" carried out by his buddy admins. Mathsci pulled this kind of harassing provocation thing towards me three and a half years ago to get me one-way interaction-banned and then repeatedly tried to provoke me into breaching it. Incidentally, it was the exact behavior he exhibited towards another editor previously and my criticism of that behavior is what caused him to target me in the same manner.
His thanking activity is just petty trolling meant to provoke you and is best ignored. Mathsci got banned because when people stopped playing his game he escalated until he went over the deep end. I am disappointed that two and a half years of being banned hasn't prompted him to change his ways, but given how he continued to blame everything on harassment after doxing one of his opponents it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. The fact he only sent in his appeal after both I and Cla68 were banned is just further indication of his manipulative tendencies.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
New Breitbart articleEdit
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/06/28/banned-wikipedia-editor-asks-jimmy-wales-removed-site/
Can we expect a new interview? What are your plans for the future with regards to your Wikipedia situation? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 15:07, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
I wanted them to mention the most recent redacted e-mail since it was, I think, the most damaging in certain respects, so I e-mailed them about that. At the moment there is no plan for another interview. That doesn't mean there won't be more to come, just that if anything does come it won't be an interview. Since my first official appeal to ArbCom comes up at the end of the week I may send an appeal in, though I doubt it will be accepted. They probably expect me to make some false confession of wrongdoing and that is simply not happening. If not that, they'll want to coerce my agreement to hefty restrictions in addition to those I was already under and the bare minimum of what I would accept is a return to the status quo ante with the exception of that expedited ban remedy. Given they used it as an excuse to gaslight me, I have no interest in having such a thing attached to me ever again. Doubtful they would approve of that either as without extracting a false confession they would want to bring me to heel in some other way that just wouldn't be reflected in me coming back with less limitations on my editing than I had prior to my ban.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 05:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I know what you mean by bans being used to obtain forced confessions and submission: [1], [2] (the second link involves an user being blocked for exposing another user's COI). --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 15:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
For the people at WS, I suppose my redactions made it hard to parse, but the significant part of my most recent posted e-mail would be the second-to-last paragraph and the paragraph preceding it. Also, at the moment, only the members of the 2015 and 2016 Committee have been told this admin's identity. I gave my word to this admin that I would not reveal it to anyone else. When I was doing the interview with Breitbart I did tell this admin that I might reveal it off-the-record, but only if Breitbart made doing so necessary to do the follow-up report on my case.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Email 2Edit
I've sent you an Email. It's unrelated to your enwiki ban, but I'm hoping that you would still be interested. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 18:49, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. In deference to your concerns I won't mention specifics, but your third request is fine, though I may wait to see what happens before I proceed. On the other matters I have no interest.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 01:53, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Invitation to InfogalacticEdit
They have rejected you yet again. Have you given any thought to joining Infogalactic? You may email me for additional details. We could use someone like you. --Idrisz19 (talk) 00:51, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, my general interest in the wiki game has waned considerably.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:34, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
I understand. I won't force you into something you won't enjoy. And please, don't apologize. As I understand it, it is ArbCom who should be apologizing for disenchanting individuals who used to love wikis. --Idrisz19 (talk) 23:26, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Confrontation and considerationEdit
You and I don't interact much, especially since the other discussion. You can say much about closures of discussions. However, after writing this article for the "far-right" Breitbart News, you are met with this, that, and that. Are you worried what will happen to you and others? Also, out of all media outlets, why Breitbart? Alternatively, why not do original reporting for Wikinews? (You can look at the articles I created if you want, but they are just synthesized articles.) Why not contribute to other sister projects? --George Ho (talk) 00:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
I admit, I'm not overly surprised by the hostility of some. Maybe they wouldn't be as hostile if this had been the first article published or if this one had been written by me rather than me merely being the source. Can't say people badmouthing me on Wikipedia (what else is new?) is going to make me lose sleep at night either way. I suppose you are talking about concerns outside Wikipedia and I am, of course, worried. However, anonymity offers myself and others a level of protection from anything more than mean comments.
Breitbart may have a nasty reputation among some, but their coverage on issues such as GamerGate was routinely better than what I found in most major "reliable sources" we cite, who couldn't get off the same tired false narratives. They also were quite good with writing about my abusive ArbCom ban. I would also say that most news media are not interested in serious Wikipedia criticism and my now-lifted ban from WO didn't give me that option as well as my one experience with writing for them being a serious disappointment. Even though they responded to this piece by lifting my ban, I know I would only be tepidly welcome in the hopes they could use me.
Wikipedia is a powerful institution and far too many active on it do not appreciate the power they have and abuse it regularly to push their own agendas through the site, no matter how serious the consequences. Not being able to edit directly, my only way to have any effect is outside criticism. Wikinews, no offense, is a low-impact site and contributing there would be even less constructive than contributing to Commons, neither of which are as constructive as contributing to Wikipedia.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 03:42, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Well... you and I agree to (somewhat) disagree about Wikipedia. I won't say much about Wikipedia right now, but I will say that Gamergate situation is another one of BLP dramas that I'm staying away from for now. If Wikinews is not your ideal, why not Wikiversity, which currently has the WikiJournal subproject, now proposed to be a stand-alone open-access academic journal project? Or why not Wikibooks? Well... you can do what you can, but... I would expect more provoked reactions. Also, I don't think ArbCom would lift your site ban after all that. Good luck on your current path. I won't respond further in this thread or about the Breitbart piece. --George Ho (talk) 05:08, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
If you don't mind one last response. By "after all that" do you mean the article, the response to it, or my comment here to you?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 05:11, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Oh... sorry. I meant the article and the responses to it. --George Ho (talk) 05:38, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Hot off the pressEdit
Sorry, I have nothing to say, and even if you showed real press credentials I'd defer you to the ArbCom mailing list. Best, Drmies (talk) 17:06, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

unblock requestEdit
For the record, I would indeed like to be unblocked from WikiSource. The reason I cannot request there, is that the nice EncycloPetey person also muzzled me from making any appeal on my talkpage at Wikisource, and nothing to do with which languages I may be fluent in. As several here have noted the unjust nature of this block being used as a technical pretext to ban me, I would be grateful if anyone could reverse that frivolous block, from which EncycloPetey unilaterally stripped me of any right of appeal. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:11, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Please stay off of my talk page.Edit
I do not want to have any interaction with you on any wikiproject. On my meta talk page I was quite specific is saying "this is not a criticism of anyone who has posted here". You replied with "Outing accusation" and "Fussing about this and making accusations..." I have not accused you or anyone else other than some authors at Breitbart News and Wikipediocracy of outing. Please stay off of my talk page. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:15, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Perhaps you are unaware of this @Guy Macon:, even though it is at the bottom of both pieces, but I am the Breitbart author. As such, you were accusing me of outing and I was addressing your accusations against me.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 01:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
After posting the above. you once again posted to my talk page. [3]
I was not aware that you were the author of the Breitbart article, but now that I am, and to make sure that you understand me perfectly, let me state this for the record:
In my opinion, Breitbart is a shit website. If anyone doubts this, I would call their attention to the following:
Breitbart Issues Best Correction Since Forever
The Solution To Online 'Harassment' Is Simple: Women Should Log Off
Gay Rights Have Made Us Dumber, It's Time to Get Back in the Closet
Science Proves It: Fat-Shaming Works (Reasons why this is shit:[4]}
Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy
There's No Hiring Bias Against Women In Tech, They Just Suck At Interviews
You should be ashamed to be associated with Breitbart.
In my opinion, Your article in Breitbart is a shit article. It has some good stuff (most of which I can get be reading the article in Slate), but you have reposted nasty accusations against a Wikipedia editor and a person working for the Wikimedia foundation, accusations that were originally posted on Wikipediocracy, a site where any anonymous troll can post any accusation they want. And no, I don't care if the information was published elsewhere. Two wrongs don't make a right.
You have been banned from the English Wikipedia.[5] I have no opinion one way or the other about the ban (I have not looked at the evidence myself), but it is my practice to not interact with banned users on other sites.
I just did a last check of my talk page before posting this, and I see that you have self reverted your comment. Thank you. I was considering asking a Wikimedia admin for a 2-way interaction ban, but now I am thinking that this will not be needed. Let's agree that this is the end of this. I do not want to have any further interactions with you. I will rethink this position if you have a successful ban appeal on the English Wikipedia. Until then, please leave me alone.
On second thought, feel free to respond to this and then leave me alone. it would be unfair for me to say the things I just said and then expect you to not tell me and the world why you think I am wrong. I will read your reply, if any, and then I plan on unwatching this page without responding. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
I have seen many publications make errors as egregious as the ones made by Breitbart, perhaps even more egregious, but do not receive the same level of negative scrutiny. Many of the most serious offenders, such as The Guardian or BuzzFeed News, are still treated as strong and reliable sources on Wikipedia. Outside the one retracted article you mentioned, the rest strike me as opinion pieces mixed with a certain amount of hyperbole or satire. Many outlets have had opinion pieces with similarly offensive or even more offensive headlines, but presented with sincerity rather than obvious tongue-in-cheek commentary. Of course, pieces that advance progressive narratives about "privileged" groups may not be seen as offensive, even if many members of those groups would find them deeply offensive and false. I do not take complaints about this so seriously when the New York Times places someone such as Sarah Jeong on their editorial board.
The article I wrote contains, to my knowledge, no actual errors and no one has been able to identify one since it was published and it does not say anything inflammatory. So, I don't like comments like this one you made that can be easily taken as accusing me of writing malicious libel, even if that is not your intent, and ask for a clarification to be made in that discussion. Should your comments be about Breitbart in general, then I accept that as your opinion, but would want that much made clear.
As far as the allegations mentioned in the piece, I think it is pertinent that everything I mentioned was already on-wiki. Characterizing my article as having "outing" and "BLP" issues when it notes an on-wiki conversation that invited a response from the Chair of the Foundation reads like attempting to scape-goat me. It was the Foundation who effectively revealed the identity of a complainant and it was BuzzFeed who first reported said complainant's alleged ties to the Chair outside Wikipedia and criticism sites. The fact BuzzFeed did not name names doesn't matter when they linked directly to a page on Wikipediocracy giving out those names with the accompanying allegations. I would like to make clear that I would only include the allegations if I could independently check that they were based off credible evidence.
Should you be at all interested in the details of my ban @Guy Macon: you can always read through this piece I wrote on it here. A summary is included at the end should you not be interested in reading through the whole thing. Obviously, it is from a personal perspective, but I believe the only objections any of those familiar with the details have raised about my characterization of events have boiled down to interpretation of the facts, rather than the facts themselves. Hope this response proves satisfactory to you.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:50, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
About your banEdit
I noticed on Jimbo Wales's talk page that you were banned 9 years ago.
If it's any consolation, I was banned 17 years ago and they have never considered removing it.
My ban, for reference, was initially because I was sharing an IP address with 10,000 people (because of the way my ISP works) and I was assumed to be doing things that were actually done by several other people (there were at least 100 different people using Wikipedia from my ISP), and thus I was repeatedly banned before having an account based on false assumptions made by administrators who didn't bother to check their facts.
I was then encouraged to make an account, which I did, and was immediately threatened with death threats by one of the users (who was later made into an administrator because he made death threats towards me (!) - it was mentioned in his request for adminship discussion!) He pretended that I was making death threats to him, but I wasn't. There were over 200 different IP addresses, and the one that made the death threats was his. They simply never checked their facts. They then gave me a 1-year ban for "legal threats", even though I didn't make any. It was a death threat to me.
I then received dozens of death threats by this guy, right up until he was promoted to administrator, at which point they stopped.
I then created a new account, some 9 months into my 1 year ban, having not been aware of the year-long ban (as they had previously threatened to permanently ban me), contributed constructively for a year, then was banned permanently for being a "sockpuppet".
17 years later, they still won't consider my appeal.
They've banned about 1,000 other people who have nothing to do with me, from at least 15 different countries, all to try to protect bad administrators.
Wikipedia is evil. It always has been and always will be.
There is probably something more constructive that you can do. As for me, I am writing a book about something completely unrelated. Blissyu2 (talk) 13:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
@Blissyu2 I am aware that this is an old thread, but could you mention which administrator did this? I could possibly start a discussion regarding your situation (not in a proxy manner) to try to help you. Lallint (talk) 21:38, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

The parliamentary standing committee on information technology on Monday decided to give Twitter's head honchos, including CEO Jack Dorsey, time till February 25 to appear before it.
The panel refused to engage with the micro-blogging site's India team, which had gone to Parliament in the hope of answering the committee's queries.
Four officials of Twitter India were outside the room where the panel was meeting at the Parliament Annexe on Monday afternoon but the standing committee did not meet them.
"The chairman informed us that Twitter, in its first communication to the panel, had said that nobody in its India office was authorised to deal with legal, financial and policy matters. So, the committee felt it was pointless meeting the team that had come," a panel member said.
Representatives of Facebook and WhatsApp will also be summoned.

This morning in the New York Times there was an article related to the ongoing "Sixth Extinction", this time related to the world of insects.
The article discusses an almost 80% decrease in insect populations worldwide, and while most of us recognize the well-publicized decline in the honey bee population, I don't think all of us realized that this population decline was occurring to all insects (at least I didn't). Bees, as pollinators also get most of the public's attention because their decline will impact our food growth and production, but the often ignored earthworm, ant, and beetle populations are also declining, and without these insects, we will end up wallowing in our own decay. Insects are also an important source of food for birds and fish, so a decline in the insect populations will begin to cascade up the food chain.
The article taught me a new term, "functional extinction". This term is being used to describe the ecological consequences that begin to occur when a species numbers drop low enough that they are no longer contributing to their assigned roles in the circle of life.
The article points out that while it is easy to draw attention to the rare or cute species whose total extinction is looming, every day and common species declines are being overlooked, and it is those species whose declines will provide the most direct impact to our immediate environments.
The article didn't supply much in the way of a solution. But, I think that on a local and individual scale we can encourage insect habitats within our own gardens by companion planting, mulching, and composting. I seriously think there are enough home gardeners to make a difference here.
And flower planting, because everyone (including insects) love flowers.


Is there anything cuter than a couple of pugs?
The only thing that comes close is a pair of pug themed salt and pepper shakers.
Due to the enormous popularity of these little dogs, which were first bred in China, there's now a wide selection of pug-related products sold on Amazon and elsewhere.
Among these items are salt and pepper shakers, which show a boy and girl pup kissing, a bride and groom set and silver-plated pugs staring straight at you. Also, you can find whimsical pugs in teacups and much more.
These decorative dogs would make a great for someone who owns one more more pugs, or whom is thinking of getting one. You don't even have to be a pug owner to appreciate the comical and entertaining nature of this breed.
Kissing Dogs is a very popular style for retro-style salt and pepper shakers, which feature different breeds, such as the pair of pugs shown below. These are made by Westland Giftware. which has a selection of other iconic items. The muzzles stick together with magnets.
Pacific Trading, which has a large selection of antique-looking gift ware, makes these teacup pugs. Despite the vintage look, these pugs and the ones shown above are new items.
This set of silver-plated pug shakers are a bit more formal. It's hard to take pugs all that seriously, but this pair is so prim and proper that they'd even be at home with your best china and real silver. These beautiful dogs are made by Godinger, which specializes in fine crystal.
Westland Giftware sells these adorable wedding pugs, which would make a perfect gift for that pug-loving couple just starting out. These could also be used as a wedding cake topper. Or, they'd make a great anniversary present.
These shakers have a slightly exaggerated pug look, which is no surprise, because they're designed by a company called Pug – madamepOmm, which makes many other items that capture the essence of this very special breed.

Diković: Covering up pedophilia in the Serbian Orthodox Church
Diković: Zataškavanje pedofilije u SPC
"Religion emerged from repressed consciousness like the devil himself"
Everything has been known about pedophilia and sexual abuse in the Serbian Orthodox Church for years, but it is being covered up.
Writes: Jelena Diković, Source: Aktuelno
Almost the entire public in Serbia is silent, all competent institutions are silent. One of the greatest atrocities and shame that has befallen our country is being ignored. Abusers are being protected, evidence, a pile of materials, videos are being pushed under the carpet… The victims have been left, forgotten, almost no one cares about them.
And why would the church take care of the victims? It is more important for church dignitaries to preserve their positions, to drive Audi, to have all the privileges, to enjoy privileges, to live in villas, and not, like us, ordinary mortals, to fight to feed their families…
However, not everyone is silent. The loudest is former deacon Bojan Jovanović, who has been pointing out pedophilia for years. Kačavenda sexually harassed him and asked him to cheat on his boys. There are also some media, such as Danas, but unfortunately that is not enough to bring Kacavenda, Pahomije and other abusers hidden under church mantles to justice. The determination of the state is needed. But which countries? Serbia has not been a state for a long time. It is run by a corrupt and criminal group of people and those who support the government, such as the church, and helpless citizens generally do not have the strength to fight against the downfall of a society, because they look at how to survive from month to month.
Bojan Jovanović is not giving up, and he will not give up. In order to point out pedophilia and sexual abuse, he reached London, Brussels, Washington, and raised the region, because in Serbia he is ignored or claimed to be lying. With the help of Montenegro International, Bojan recently published the book "Confession How We Betrayed God", in which he accuses church dignitaries, from Bishop Joanikije and Patriarch Porfirije, of covering up cases of pedophilia in the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The most famous cases are Kačavenda and Pahomije, but they are not the only ones. Just remember the 19-year-old theologian Milić Blažanović, who passed away in 1999, and whose death his mother blames Kačavenda for years. As far as Montenegro is concerned, there are cases of bribing minors in the Cetinje Monastery and the Dajbabe Monastery.
Believe me, Bojan Jovanović has all the evidence, but Aleksandar Vučić and his regime and people from the Serbian Orthodox Church will not even listen to him because they are all connected as guts and it is not in their interest to talk about sexual abuse and pedophilia at all, nor the abusers to be processed.

These will the most important things you are doing, it will help you in finding mistakes or adding the important point you have forgotten. This simple exercise can make it more than perfect!
The above is the checklist you should go through before writing the cover letter, to get the job.

A NARRATIVE Of the Proceedings at the Sessions-House in the Old-Bayly, From Wednesday the 7th of July instant, to Saturday the 10th. Being a full and true Account of the Tryals, Examinations, and Condemnation of several Malefactors, for several Crimes.
And also an Account of the Tryal and Condemnation of Eliz. Lillyman, who killed her Husband, for which she was condemned to be Burned, with the manner of her Deportment at her Tryal. And likewise of Rose Goodman, who was condemned for stripping of Children and other Fellonious Crimes.
The Number Condemn'd was Eleven, Six to be Transported, Ten burnt in the hand, and Six to be whipt at the Carts Tayle.
London, Printed for D.M. Anno Dom. 1675.
A Narrative of the Proceedings at the General Quarter Sessions holden at the Old-Bayly upon Wednesday the 7th of this instant July.
AT the Sessions at the Old-Bayly, there begun the 7th of July instant, were Tryed a great number of Malafactors, for Crimes of various and sundry natures, as Murthers, Robberies, Burglaries, Cheats, Libellers, and other Enormities; whereby we see that Vice hath not only an infectuous quality of spreading its Venome; but that it's Poison, like that of a Viper, or Adder, doth taint the conversation of sinful Societies, with varigated and multiform tinctures of Impieties, so that it is strange to see what a speked mass of loathsome crimes present themselves at these times amongst the wicked Heard that are brought before this great Tribunal, to receive the due reward of their wickedness.
First, here were Tryed two men for Horse-stealing , they made a plausible story for themselves, but the fact was evidently proved against them, and they were found guilty of the Felony upon two several Indictments brought in against them.
Theft: pocketpicking.
The next was a Swede as he pretended himself to be, who had learnt the old English trick of being too familiar with mens Pocket concerns, and for the taking away
15. shillings out of the Pocket of his Prosecutors , was likewise convicted of Felony .
[Death. See summary.]
An Indictment was likewise brought against a French woman , formerly a Servant to a person of quality for taking away a parcel of Jewels, Rings, and other Rich commodities, (formerly mentioned in the Gazett) of several hundred pounds value , being an Alien, she had the priviledge to have a mixt Jury de medie at Lingue, of French and English; she understood English pretty well, but could not speak it; The Tryal was very long by reason of the many circumstances that were brought in to confirm the evidence; The chief of which were that the same Night the Jewels were lost, she was heard walking about 1. and 2. of the clock in her Ladies Chamber, that presently after she feigned her self Sick, and was thereupon removed to another House, she staid not there long, but removed her self to Leicester-fields, where she was found out by a Foot-man, and appear'd to be very well, and searching her Trunk, they found some parcels of Lace that the Lady said was in the Coffer out of which she lost aforesaid Jewels.
There were then several Testimonies given in of some debauched practices that were observed by her with one that pretended to be her Husband, for which being by the Justice sent to Bridewell, and there received her punishment; The Gentleman her Gallant, disowned her, and would have nothing to do with her, but these circumstances not amounting to direct proof what she was charged with, though they did too evidently prove
the looseness of her conversation; her defence was given at large by her Interpreters, wherein she answered to several of the most material charges in the evidence given in against her, and upon the whole matter, the Jury brought her in not guilty .
Elizabeth Lylliman.
Killing: petty treason.
Death > burning
There was likewise tryed that unhappy creature that kill'd her Husband at Goodmans Fields , viz. Elizabeth Lylliman ; she seem'd to be a person of some 50 years of age, old both in years and wickedness; her carriage was very strange both at her Arraignment and Tryal, for after her Indictment read, and the the Clark demanded her Plea to the same, she fell into a kind of passion, and desired of the Court that she might see her dear Husband before she pleaded, which she insisted upon with seeming earnestness for some time; but this appeared to the Court to be but a mad kind of Artifice, designed out of her feigned passionate Zeal to her Murthered Husband to take off the suspicion of her being instrumental to his death, but this would not serve the turn, for upon her Tryal the Fact was evidently proved against her by several witnesses, the people of the house where they were when the Murther was done, did attest how that a little time before the Murther, the party murthered, (having got a dried mackerel for his supper, went out to a Cobler that kept a Stall next adjoyning to the house, and borrowed his knife of him to dress his Fish; that while the Fish was a broyling, the people of the house being gon out of the Room, at their return, they found poor Lylliman with the aforesaid knife in his body, and the blood streaming out after it in this condition, nevertheless he
had so much strength as to go to the door, and called to the Cobler of whom he borrowed the knife, to come to him, and then imbracing him, cryed out dear Countryman, my wife has stab'd me with a knife I borrowed of you, which words he reiterated 3 or 4 times, and then sunk down dead; The Chirurgion that searched the wound did attest that the knife was entred into his very heart; notwithstanding all which evidence, this bloody woman had the confidence to deny the Fact, and to pretend her self to be clearly innocent of it; but it was too evidently proved against her, and the whole matter being left to the Jury, they brought her in guilty of petty Treason .
A Dutch Gentlemen was here Arraigned for the murther of a Frenchman ; it appeared to be done in a kind of fray, for the prisoner being at a Tavern, drinking of a glass of wine with some company, one of them being the aforesaid Frenchman, would have this Gentleman to pledge it, which he refused to do, whereupon the other gave him a box on the Ear, and fell upon him in a rude and violent manner, whereupon they having shut the doors to them, so that he had no way to escape his fury, he drew his Sword to defend himself, and therewith unhappily kill'd the French-man, the Jury brought him in only guilty of Manslaughter , so he had the benefit of his clergy.
A Gentleman was lately Rob'd near Lambs Conduit, behind Grayes-Inn , by some persons that were upon the Foot-pad that way, they took from one a Silver headed Sword, a watch, and other things of good value , two per
sons were taken upon suspicion and arraigned at this Sessions, whereof one of them was found guilty , the other was acquitted .
Rose Goodman.
There were two several Indictments brought in against a Woman [Rose Goodman] for the Felonious taking away of Cloaths from the persons of two children , her Trade had been it seems to intice little children that she found in the Streets, to go along with her, and having got them in some private place remote from their dwellings, and their strip them of their cloaths, and after sold them, leaving the poor children in that pitiful condition to shift for themselves; thus she had serv'd several; she was found guilty upon both Indictments, and no doubt will be made an example.
One living in Chancery-Lane, was Indicted for ravishing a girle about 15. years of age , together with a young Woman in whose house the same was pretended to be done, as accessary, by assisting to the Fact; The fact according to the circumstances that are usually made use of in such cases, was peremptorily attested by the Girle and her Parents, but the witnesses for he Prisoner, who were very many, and seemed to be most of them persons of good account, did first give a very fair testimony of him upon their knowledge of him, and then did so fully testify by numerous circumstances, the lewdness of the Girle and her mother; and that the Girle as young and innocent as she seemed, had been notoriously known to be lewd, lascivious, and disorderly, and that they had by plain proofs only laid this design to get a peice of mony from him, these evidences being considered, the Jury brought him in not guilty .
Miscellaneous: other, Royal Offences: seditious libel.
Miscellaneous > fine
After these a pretended Printer was brought to the Bar, he had been convicted upon two several Indictments, the one for Exercising the Mystery of Printing, not being of the same , (but formerly a Scrivener ) and the other for Printing Scandalous Libels ; he pleaded for himself, that he had lived an house-keeper in good fashion, and that if he should be put to any publick disgrace, it would be the ruine of himself and a great family that he had under his charge, and pleaded the favour of the Court; who taking it into consideration, and it being the first offence that he stood convicted of, were pleased only to set a Fine upon him of 5 l. which he was to pay before he should be released from prison, and to prohibit him from Exercising or using the Trade of Printing for three years to come.
Deception: forgery.
Corporal > pillory; Miscellaneous > fine
There were two persons that had been convicted of forging Tickets , they had judgment to stand in the Pillory three several days , and fined .
Theft: petty larceny.
The last were five persons, three men and two women , for petty larceny , who had judgement to be whipt at the Carts Tail .
Thus we have given you a brief account of the most remarkable Trials of this Sessions, which was very great, and took up much time, holding from Wensday until Saturday following 2 a clock, the last thing remaning is to give you an account of the Several Judgements and Condemnations that past upon the Malefactors. And first those that were capable of being admitted to the benefit of their Clergy were called to the bar, and some that could read desired that benefit, others prayed Transportation which was granted them as the Court saw cause; The Number of these to be transported were 6 in all 3 men and 3 women; The Number of those burned in the hand were 10 whereof six were men and 4 women, after which those who were to receive Judgement of death were set to the barre, and accordingly tyed up, which were 9 men and 2 women, eleven in all, whereof ten had judgement to be hanged, whereof several of them were for the aforementioned burglaries, one was a Pickpocket, two others for robbing upon the high-way, and the woman that stripped the Children of their cloaths. After judgment, she pleaded she was with Child, and thereupon a jury of matrons were impannelled to inspect her, who returned upon their Oaths that they did not find that she was quick with Child, so she was set by for Execution with the rest of the Condemned persons. Elizabeth Lillyman, the person that killed her husband, her crime being petty Treason, had judgment to be burned to ashes, when she came to the Bar, she did, as formerly, passionately request to see the body of her husband before she died, saying she could not else dye in peace. But
this action of hers, was suspected rather as a fit of raving, then the result of a considerate mind, from one who was so apparently proved to be his Murtheress.

Electronic Arts has announced that while it did not generate more revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, it still managed to exceed expectations.
The major publisher revealed a net revenue of $1.2 billion, down from the previous $1.21 billion. Net income, however increased $355 million to $442 million year-over-year.
EA's digital sales have seen a large increase, currently making up more than 50 percent of revenue. This marks a significant jump from the 44 percent reported at the same time last year.
A number of statistics about EA games were revealed as well, including the fact that FIFA 15 players have played an average of 16 million matches per day, the monthly active users for EA mobile games averaged more than 150 million people, and trailers, livestreams, and gameplay of upcoming EA games were viewed 53 million times during the week of E3 2015.
EA has several games lined up for 2015, perhaps the most anticipated being the large-scale multiplayer shooter Star Wars: Battlefront releasing on November 17, 2015. Read IGN's Battlefront preview to learn more about the advantages of being a Skywalker.

The electronics team led by Nichola Tali, Engineering Lab Coordinator at Ashesi University College worked on the creating a working prototype for one of the product solutions that were settled on-the vein finder.
For fair/light skinned people, veins were much more easily seen than when the vein finder was used on dark skinned people. Following this insight, we changed the light source from red LEDs to infrared light. Infrared light has a greater ability to penetrate the skin and will make viewing veins easier regardless of skin colour. Replacing the red LEDs with infrared LEDs and using a different approach to circuitry, we will explore how efficient we can create a sustainable device.

NYJW Opinion
A Self-Defeating BDS Ban
Jewish Week Editors
A law passed by the Knesset in March that forbids entry to foreigners who publicly support the BDS movement — boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and its settlements —is self-defeating on several fronts.
The legislation was heralded by supporters of BDS who say that it helps their cause, giving more attention to the issue and chipping away at Israel's image of being an open democracy. An editorial in The New York Times on April 28 critically cited the new law as well as reports of Prime Minister Netanyahu canceling a meeting with Germany's foreign minister after learning he met with representatives of Breaking the Silence, which promotes testimonies from former IDF soldiers about improper behavior toward Palestinians. The Times asserted that when Israel treats its critics "as enemies" it adds to the perception that Jerusalem is becoming increasingly rigid, leading to a "'with us or against us' posture."
That sentiment is shared among a significant part of the Jewish community as well. As staff writer Stewart Ain reports this week, some young Jews scheduled to participate in Birthright Israel trips are worried they will be barred entry because of their opposition to Israel's settlements policy. About 600 young people who have either been on Birthright or are planning to go wrote to ask Birthright officials if they will be able to enter the country. They were assured that Birthright doesn't ask applicants their political views and that they will be welcome to visit, but the students still don't know whether they will be stopped at Ben-Gurion Airport and how Birthright would handle the situation if they are. Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, who wrote Netanyahu seeking clarification about the impact of the new law regarding Birthright participants, said he would welcome a reply that the law would not be enforced. "But if it is not going to be enforced, there should not be such a law," the rabbi said.
Other critics point out that the interior minister already has the ability to prevent anti-Israel groups from entering the country. "It does nothing productive and will make us look bad," asserted Michal Rozin of the Meretz Party.
The law already has tarnished Israel's image, and now it may deter young Jews from seeing firsthand the vibrant and open society that is Israel today.

A good sleep is essential for the way you function during the day. On average each person sleeps a third part of his life, so you will spend quite some time in your bed. In general a mattress will last about ten years and most good mattresses don't come cheap. We like to advise you to get well informed before you buy a new mattress. All our sales outlets have a large collection plus they all have years of experience in the sleeping industry. This significantly reduces the chance that you buy the wrong product. A mattress should not just be of great quality, it should also fit with you as a person, including your requirements and sleeping habits.
At Hml Bedding we genuine hope that you will have a great night sleep on your new boxspring. To provide you with some extra help you can find some more information about sleeping in general on this page. At the bottom of this page you will also find some tips on how you can enjoy your night rest (even) more.
We don't sleep in a straight line: we have periods of deep sleep alternated with periods of light sleep. During the night you can even wake up once or twice (consciously or unconsciously).
REM-sleep stands for Rapid Eye Movement-sleep. Rapid Eye Movement literally means "rapid eye movements". During this stage you make rapid eye movements in your sleep. The NREM is the Non Rapid Eye Movement sleep. The NREM-sleep is the largest part of the time that we actual sleep. Approximately 70 to 80% of the time that we sleep we are in the NREM stage. During our sleep we change between NREM-sleep and REM-sleep. We start with the NREM-sleep followed by the REM-sleep.
The NREM-sleep is divided in four stages. The first stage of the NREM-sleep is the light sleep. During this stage we are half awake and half asleep. You can experience slight movements and you can easily wake up during this stage. After about 10 minutes of light sleep you will reach the next stage, the real sleep. This lasts for about 20 minutes. During this stage your heart rate and breathing will slow down. Then we reach the third stage of the NREM-sleep. Our brain cells are starting to produce the so-called Delta waves (according to some scientists these are connected with the recovery stage of the sleep). Our heart rate and breathing reach their lowest rhythm. The fourth stage of the NREM-sleep is characterised by rhythmic breathing and small muscle movements. When we awake from this stage, we still feel sleepy and weak and don't know where we are for a few minutes. During this period some children will wet the bed or start sleep walking.
After the NREM-sleep we enter the REM-sleep stage. Normally we reach this stage between 70 to 90 minutes after we have fallen asleep. During the REM-sleep stage our brain is very active even though we are not conscious. Sometimes even more active than when we are awake. Our closed eyes move from one side to another. Therefore the name Rapid Eye Movement. Our breathing and heart rate will increase. But apart from that, we are paralysed and don't move at all. During this stage we normally dream.
Once the REM-sleep stage has finished, the NREM-sleep will start again and the cycle will repeat itself. On average we will have three to five periods of REM-sleep during the night. The NREM and REM stages alternate each other in a cycle of approximately 90 to 110 minutes. However the relations between NREM and REM-sleep do change during the night. After each cycle the REM-sleep will play a bigger part, that is why we dream more towards the end of our sleep than in the beginning.
We mostly dream during the REM-sleep. Everyone who sleeps, dreams, even though we don't always remember. Some people do, some people don't. Whether you remember or not, we do dream a lot and have about five to seven dreams per night. They don't last the same length of time. Some dreams last only for five minutes while others last for 20 minutes or longer.
If someone doesn't get enough sleep, his body and mind will not recover sufficiently. Lack of sleep can cause severe tiredness, moodiness, lack of concentration and lower resistance as the immune system is disturbed. Also will someone with lack of sleep react slower and his memory will not be as good.
Eventually this could lead to health problems. The metabolism will not work properly and there is a great chance of stomach and bowel complaints, heart and vascular diseases and diabetes. Chronic lack of sleep can also cause depression and memory loss.
People who don't sleep well sometimes suffer from a specific sleeping disorder. But sleeplessness can also be caused by many other factors. Below you will find some tips how you can improve on your sleep. Do you have any questions about this? Please ask one of our colleagues at our sales outlets.
Try to stick to these times even at the weekend. See what time you need to get up in the morning, count back eight hours and make sure you are in bed at that time. Please note that most people need 15 minutes to fall asleep, so take that time into account. If you want to adjust to a regular sleeping pattern, you will have to make sure that you stick to your chosen times for at least two weeks. It is even better if you can remain this rhythm for 30 days. A regular sleeping rhythm will do wonders for you!
If you have to get up at six o'clock in the morning don't go to bed at midnight. That way you will build up your lack of sleep and this can cause sleeping problems in the long run. Plus your body and mind require some time to fall asleep. If you do not give yourself this time it can lead to extra tensions, which stop you from falling asleep. Ensure for a relaxed evening ritual that allows you to have the required hours of sleep.
Not everyone needs the same amount of sleep. It is possible that your sleep requirements are less than you might think. Sleep enough so you feel rested and fresh the next day. If you are often awake in bed try to sleep a bit less. If you don't suffer any problems during the day when sleeping less, you will have found your perfect sleeping time. Do you find it hard to establish your ideal sleeping time? It could be useful and instructive to write down the times you go to bed, how long you areawake, what time you get up and how rested you feel the next morning. You might find a certain pattern which helps you to establish your ideal sleeping time.
If you are having sleeping problems it is better not to have an afternoon nap or fall asleep on the couch at night. Powernaps and siestas will only make you more tired as you will not be able to have a good/long enough deep sleep to really recover. Plus these little naps often disturb the sleep and wake up rhythm. This is different for countries where having a siesta is normal. Here a siesta is part of the normal sleeping pattern.
Maybe you like to read before you go to sleep. Or you take the dog for a walk of drink a glass of hot milk. Make sure you stick to this routine every night so your mind gets use to it and knows that after this routine it is time for bed. It will make it easier for your mind to let go of the day. Plus your body can already start preparing itself for bed by producing the sleeping hormone Melatonin. Melatonin will make you sleepy so you will fall asleep more easily. This hormone can be produced by various factors, like decrease of day light but also certain nutrients can produce Melatonin.
Ensure that you don't do any exciting or emotional strenuous things at least one or half an hour before you go to bed. Listen to relaxing music, read a nice book. Physical exercise during the day can make you sleep better, but we advise you not to do any intensive training two to three hours before you go to sleep. Please also avoid any activities that require a lot of mental strength. Plus avoid the use of stimulated products such as coffee, (black) tea, cola and tobacco just before bedtime.
Being in a dim room will prepare you better for the night, your body will start producing the sleeping hormone Melatonin. Not just (bright) lights in your house but also the light of for example your laptop, telephone or television will disturb the production of Melatonin therefore you will find it harder to fall asleep. By exposing yourself too much to this light during the evening, your body will be fooled into thinking it is exposed to daylight. By turning the lights down and not using many screens the production of Melatonin will increase.

Monolithic polyurea coating will keep moisture out, and provide more years of protection when compared to traditional coatings.


Osteoporosis is a generally well-known disease affecting nearly two million Canadians. Osteoporosis, characterized by loss of bone mass and bone deterioration associated with the natural aging process, can lead to an increased risk of fractures.
Calcium and protein are important nutritional components involved in preventing this disease. Calcium is involved in bone remodeling while proteins play a role in the process of bone cell formation and repair. In light of this, dairy products remain a must on the menu to prevent bone loss. For more information on calcium-rich food and recommendations, see Osteoporosis Canada.
Wendy Ward, affiliated with the Osteoporosis Canada Research Chair and working on the development of nutritional prevention strategies to reduce the risk of fractures during aging, will present "Foods and Food Components for a Healthy Strong Skeleton in Women" during session 2 of BENEFIQ 2018 on October 2.


When Anthony Williams is elected mayor of Washington, DC in November 1998, he inherits a city that had been close to insolvency. Although its financial picture has improved, it has historically lacked the equipment and systems to deliver high-quality city services. Williams had won a convincing victory at the polls in part by emphasizing the need for improved service and accountability. He faces two challenges: both to improve the quality of city services and to devise a way to ensure voters are aware of the extent of the improvement. With both in mind, Williams and his top aides develop a new system to guide city government. The comprehensive performance measurement system requires all city departments to set measurable "scorecard" goals for improving the services they deliver-and to report regularly on their progress in meeting them. This case describes the design and implementation of the DC performance measurement system, with particular focus on several specific departments.
The case is designed, specifically, to help students understand the difference between outputs and outcomes, a distinction reinforced by a review and assessment of the goals set by the city departments featured in the case. Data provided in exhibits provides a vehicle for reinforcing the output/outcome distinction-and the tendency of public sector agencies to see outputs as an end in themselves.

NBA's PLAY-IN BUBBLE
By Marc Lawrence
By Marc Lawrence — The second edition of the NBA's play-in tournament starts Tuesday and the final participants have narrowed. The teams that finish between seventh and 10th in the standings from each conference will qualify for the tourney to determine who will earn the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in the playoffs.
Last season, the league kicked off the bubble portion of the season with seeding games to help finalize the postseason participants. This season will be the first time the play-in tournament will use the full season's standings, meaning this weekend will prove mighty huge for teams sitting on the "Play-In" bubble. Particularly for these teams, according to ESPN:
PORTLAND: The Blazers are surging at the right time, winning 8 of its last 10 games behind team leader Damian Lillard. They battled through injury issues through much of the season, which put them in this position. They got by because of Lillard has scored 30-plus points in his past seven games…
LA LAKERS: The doomsday scenario for the Lakers goes something like this. LeBron James comes back this weekend after having played only two games in the past two months and looks out of rhythm. Dennis Schroder comes back and is still dealing with lingering symptoms. Anthony Davis for the tightness in his groin by reaggravating his right leg injuries that kept him out nine weeks. The Lakers then fall to the play-in tournament, where they fall prey to Stephen Curry's brilliance. Ugh.
