Keep the Internet Up and Running
FILE - Activist of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, or Hindu Awareness Forum, shout slogans against the blocking of their web-portal in Mumbai, India.
According to estimates, some 25 governments on almost every continent have intentionally prevented or disrupted access to such networks more than fifty times since the beginning of 2016, a rate of at least once every six days.
The growing trend of intentional shutdowns of the Internet and mobile networks threaten Internet freedom. According to estimates, some 25 governments on almost every continent have intentionally prevented or disrupted access to such networks more than fifty times since the beginning of 2016, a rate of at least once every six days.
The United States earlier this year joined the consensus at the United Nations Human Rights Council in passing a resolution condemning intentional disruptions of access to or dissemination of information online, in violation of human rights law. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Tom Malinowski noted that this Internet freedom resolution echoes a Freedom Online Conference joint statement from 2011 that labeled "mandatory blocking" of social networking technologies and platforms to be "an extreme measure" strictly subject to human rights law.
These network disruptions have a major economic impact. A Brookings Institution report estimates Ethiopia suffered an $8.5 million loss for an April Internet shutdown. More recently, in October, Ethiopia initiated a new shutdown as part of the government's ongoing state of emergency, which may have cost the Ethiopian economy just under half-a-million U.S. dollars a day in lost GDP.
It is particularly alarming that elections-related Internet shutdowns are becoming increasingly common. In February, the government of Uganda ordered mobile phone and Internet service providers to block access to social media sites on the day of contested national elections. Weeks later, the government of the Republic of Congo ordered a nationwide shutdown of mobile phone networks in the lead up to national elections.
But not all the news is bad. In August, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama publicly reaffirmed Ghana's commitment to protect freedom of expression online and refrain from restricting social media use in the lead up to national elections in December.
The United States government commends the initiative taken by Ghana to reaffirm its support of human rights online. The U.S. urges the government of Ethiopia to follow suit and restore access to the global Internet for all its citizens. Likewise, all governments must protect and promote the rights to freedom of expression and association as guaranteed under international human rights commitments.

Lenovo IdeaPad U1
By wetaskiwinshadiness 2020-04-25 Gadgets
So far the laptops and tablets have been separate entities and to bridge the gap between them, there has been an innovation from Lenovo and it has come in the form of IdeaPad. The new innovative technology has been released at CES 2011 in Las Vegas and is available for sale in China. The IdeaPad combines the elegance and briskness of Windows Operating system in its laptop mode and the open source power of Android OS in its tablet mode. The IdeaPad can be used as both a tablet and as a laptop. The IdeaPad is combined form of the tablet called LePad being named after its manufacturer and a laptop.
IdeaPad – LePad
The tablet part of the IdeaPad, LePad can be detached from the IdeaPad and can be used as a tablet when separated. The tablet runs on a 1.3GHz Snapdragon processor. The touch screen is fully capacitive and is a full touch screen. The tablet can be linked with the laptop through a USB cable and also the two modes can be toggled using the switch by flipping on the screen. The Android OS which is 2.2 Froyo of now is overlapped with Lenovo's SkyLight UI. The switch over between the two modes is expected to be as fast as 2 seconds.
IdeaPad – Laptop
The laptop part of the IdeaPad looks quite like a normal laptop, but has much more to offer with its screen. The laptop runs on a Intel CULV processor which is quite impressive. The hard disk used for the laptop is a Solid State Drive which is expected to reduce the fetching time from the hard disk. The operating system which is seen on the laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium. One of the amazing things about the IdeaPad is that after the tablet is removed, the Laptop behind it does not shut down, it keeps running. After the work on the tablet is completed, it can be attached to the laptop and the work on the Windows can be resumed.
The Price of the tablet when sold alone is US$500 and when the entire IdeaPad along with the laptop is purchased US$1300.

Make a Lifestyle Change - Nothing will decrease your policy bill like a lifestyle change! Rates are lower for people who don't take as many risks... so if you want to reduce rates, try cutting back on the sky diving and smoking.
Only Buy What You Need - Consider taking a little time to determine whether your policy currently meets your needs. Although you don't want to buy too little insurance, buying more than you need can be unnecessarily expensive.
Clean Up Your Credit - People with poor credit often get denied life insurance or are put into special programs with high premiums. Clean up your credit and go back to your agent to ask for a review of your credit to lower your rates.
Consider a Rider Policy - Instead of paying large premiums by changing around your policy to include lots of extensions, consider adding on a rider policy to meet a few additional needs. This may be more cost effective than going through the process of changing your entire policy and trying to rework it to fit all of your needs perfectly.
If you have questions regarding other ways to save money on your life insurance policy, feel free to contact us at any time.

Q: In a node script how can I monitor a file for changes and get the updated content? I'm writing a script to monitor a file. Whenever the file changes it needs to print to the appended content to the console. I'm dabbling with fs.createReadStream but it doesn't seem to send anymore data over the stream when the file is appended to. I'm also just plain new to streams in general. Hopefully I just need someone to point me in the right direction :)

A: You can use the node-watch module:
var watch = require('node-watch');

watch('somedir_or_somefile', function(filename) {
    console.log(filename, ' changed.');
});

If you are operating under the assumption that the file is only being appended to, you could store the number of bytes read so far in a variable, and then inside your watch callback, use that as the position argument for fs.read.

The road I discovered! There is a mine just out of the picture halfway up the mountain far right! The building appeared to be a collapsed miner's shack.
I love to discover and drive obscure back roads here in Colorado! And sometimes I'll find old building foundations, mining remnants, old tin cans all from another bygone era. And my imagination goes wild! I envision what it must have been like when the mine was fully operating. I wonder about the people who lived there. Did they celebrate Christmas by exchanging presents? What motivated them in the brutally hard environment of a mining town?
Last summer I found a wonderful road for my Jeep to bounce on. It wasn't even named; just a small sign that read, 'Rough Road'. So of course on the instant, I swung my steering wheel over and gleefully drove it! And guess what?
This road wound back past a couple of old mining ruins that even today would be considered to be pretty much in the middle of nowhere on the backside of Leadville, Colorado. And so I had to wonder about the miners who had lived there. Surely they had mules, burros or horses because the mine ruins were quite a distance up steep hill with a faint trail that wound along it. I suppose this faint trail connected to the road I was driving on, because there was no other way out. So I wondered about the miner. Or miners? Was there one solitary, tough old man living alone year round working his mine? How did he get his supplies in? Where was his fresh water supply? There was no obvious creek nearby anywhere. Did the mine pay? What initially prompted the miner to tramp up the long hill, and look for gold or silver in the middle of relative wilderness? You see where my mind goes?
And going farther back into time, what would it be like to discover and excavate an ancient city? There would be a lot of dirt to carefully dig away, to see the original glories of an ancient city! What were those people like? What was considered to be valuable? What moral outlook did these folks possess?
"The Philistines assembled their troops for war at Socoh of Judah. They camped between Socoh and Azekah at Ephes-dammim. 2 Saul and the Israelite army assembled and camped in the Elah Valley, where they got organized to fight the Philistines. 3 The Philistines took positions on one hill while Israel took positions on the opposite hill. There was a valley between them.
12 Now David was Jesse's son, an Ephraimite from Bethlehem in Judah who had eight sons. By Saul's time, Jesse was already quite old and far along in age.[g] 13 Jesse's three oldest sons had gone with Saul to war. Their names were Eliab the oldest, Abinadab the second oldest, and Shammah the third oldest. 14 (David was the youngest.) These three older sons followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul's side to shepherd his father's flock in Bethlehem.
27 Then the troops repeated to him what they had been saying. "So that's what will be done for the man who kills him," they said.
30 So David turned to someone else and asked the same thing, and the people said the same thing in reply. 31 The things David had said were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.
34 "Your servant has kept his father's sheep," David replied to Saul, "and if ever a lion or a bear came and carried off one of the flock, 35 I would go after it, strike it, and rescue the animal from its mouth. If it turned on me, I would grab it at its jaw, strike it, and kill it. 36 Your servant has fought both lions and bears. This uncircumcised Philistine will be just like one of them because he has insulted the army of the living God.
My real point for using this story is that Saul piled on his own armor on David, so that David was practically 'buried' in armor that was heavy and didn't fit him. In fact, it bogged him down, David would have been trapped inside with no chance of winning.
So David TOOK THE ARMOR OFF, and freed himself to be himself! And WON!
I feel as if I was raised under a pile of heavy, immobile, losing ideas of fundamentalism. I have been forced to walk around wearing this untenable load as the 'knight in shining armor'! Those beliefs didn't fit me. My core soul identity has been lost and buried for years.
This legalistic, rule-oriented, fear-based 'religious system' has buried a magnificent city beneath the armor! And I don't need to 'find myself' so much as I need to excavate myself by removing the layers of heavy synthetic 'religious armor' that separates me from normal living, isolates me from loving friendships, and hides my very being deep inside under a lot of dirt.
It will take tedious care, conscientious digging and a continuously applied intent to discover the precious soul that has been buried beneath this heavy load. As the pieces come off, the soul that has been buried will need to be handled gently, given a lot of self-care, as it slowly becomes accustomed to light and freedom!
Saul's armor is being thrown off, piece by piece. My soul is becoming free!
Now to confront my giants which will flee like shadows from light!
Previous Y'all Can't Have It Both Ways! God is Incompetent, Unloving or He's not!


The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has suspended the registration of one online pharmacy and taken action against another three for potentially putting people "at risk of harm".
The health regulator found that online prescribing service Doctor Matt Ltd was issuing prescriptions after taking "as little as 17 seconds" to review patient questionnaires.
CQC has suspended the business's registration until the end of June, it announced in a report today (April 6).
"Risks to patients were not appropriately assessed or managed," CQC said in its report. "We found patients being prescribed large quantities of inhalers for the treatment of respiratory disease, but there was a lack of monitoring for these patients, whose condition could put them at serious risk of harm."
Community pharmacy business Frosts Pharmacy Ltd – which trades under the name Oxford Online Pharmacy – was found to be prescribing "large quantities of asthma inhalers without checking if the patient's condition was out of control or if a diagnosis had been confirmed".
However, the regulator also highlighted that the pharmacy business was providing "caring and responsive services" in accordance with the relevant regulations.
It issued Frosts Pharmacy with a warning notice, and told it to ensure prescribing decisions were documented and made appropriately, based on a thorough medical history.
Frosts Pharmacy told C+D it had "responded immediately" to CQC's report, and has suspended its asthma inhaler service for the time being.
Stuart Gale, owner and chief pharmacist at Frosts Pharmacy, said the group "absolutely welcomes" CQC's focus on online pharmacies, "since patient care is at stake".
"Patient safety is our number one priority and we will continue to internally audit our performance," Mr Gale added.
CQC also "placed conditions" on online pharmacy White Pharmacy Ltd to restrict their prescribing of opioid-based medicines, after it found patient verification was not carried out for every customer, and not all medical questionnaires were evidence based.
The regulator found that one clinician working for White Pharmacy was not registered with the General Medical Council, it added.
It instructed White Pharmacy to carry out a comprehensive review of all medical questionnaires it uses to ensure they are evidence-based.
Meanwhile, online prescription service i-GP Ltd was instructed to "make improvements" in a number of areas, including ensuring it has a "robust system" to identify patients' identity.
In conclusion, CQC said in a "number of cases" providers took action "immediately after the inspection" to address some of its concerns, but added it would check the impact of the changes on re-inspection.
Last month, CQC published two inspection reports on online pharmacies – HR Healthcare Ltd and MD Direct – neither of which are currently providing prescriptions in England, it said.
Steve Field, chief inspector of general practice at CQC, said online companies have a duty to protect the people seeking their support.
"This might be a new way of working, but the risks and responsibilities need to be understood and action taken in response," Professor Field said.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) told C+D it expects consistency in the regulation of online pharmacy services and for healthcare regulatory bodies to work together to ensure the regulations are "robust and effective".
A General Pharmaceutical Council spokesperson reaffirmed to C+D that it is carrying out inspections to ensure that pharmacies linked to online prescribers are meeting standards.
Do you have concerns about online pharmacies?
I think many people are confusing online pharmacies qith online prescribing. They're two different things. An online pharmacy is regulated by the GPhC and the MHRA, this regulates the supply of medicines over the internet. But once an internet pharmacy, or any pharmacy for that matter, offers prescribing services, this automatically comes under the CQC, as they have a responsibility to make sure prescribing practices are safe, records are adequate and kept safely. If anybody wants to assess patients and prescribe medicines from a 'practice' whether online or not, it has to be CQC registered.
Is it not the GP's who are prescribing the medication at fault? The Pharmacist is following instructions from a GP.
The GPhC should have been on top of this long before the CQC had to get involved. Who watches the watchmen? As Val says, unfit for purpose at this stage.
The GPhC is simply unfit for purpose anymore. All it seems to be interested in is persecuting hard working pharmacists at the coal face whilst looking the other way regarding the shenanigans of multiples and online outfits.
May I ask the question, where was our dearly loved GPHC when these online pharmacies were having a field day with patients lives. Once again we have an expose from somewhere and the GPHC reacts.
Then we are going to hell in a hardcart. if all we can look forward to is a plethora of online pharmacies (probably based ofshore) all trying to make maximum profit for minimum effort and sod the consequences. Patient care seems to be the last thing an online pharmacy thinks of.
You are absolutely right. Community Pharmacy has been so lerthagic and is always reacting to crises rather than set the pace. We have not invested in the Community Pharmacy project. When you look at the Drug tariff you will notice the Dept of Health tried to modernise us by financing computer hardware and software during the EPS roll-out, yet you find computer hardware with 252mb ram dating back to 1999 in pharmacies around the country. The mobile phones in our pockets have more RAM and storage than most pharmacy computers. I think 75 percent of the scanners don't work. As a profession we are far from being configured for speed and efficiency. We have seen business just reaping and declaring as profits, funds which were meant to modernise and improve infrastucture. In terms of automation Community Pharmacy is well behind Africa's third world and still stuck in the 19th century. Yet despite this we are always the first to moan when cuts are made. We never introspect and rectify our weaknesses. We were being paid 24k per year per Pharmacy , just for being there and we were moaning and paying our staff peanuts.
Our biggest weakness is that despite being a profession oversubscribed with qualified Pharmacist all our Managers all the way up the vital structures are not Pharmacists. This is why standards are plummeting spectacularly. We spent 23years of our formative years to be what we are and yet we are given managers without high school qualifications to run us. Most Area and Regional Managers have no managerial qualifications. Some pharmacists have postgraduate management qualifications and at times you laugh when management principles are violated and re-written every day. I always thought the UK would be better than this honestly.
U r correct mussy fudge. Once private GP service becomes affordable a lot of working people with busy life will see a private GP.
Be it either over the net (Skype consultation) or a the private clinic.
People need to accept the reality that NHS may not be the same it is today in the next 15 - 20 years.
2020...I'm guessing the NHS will be privatised...remember folks we haven't really had a really cold winter...when we do have one, the system will collapse and then the MPs will get their finger out of [email protected] and be honest with the public by admitting the days of cradle to the grave healthcare is over.
This whole CQC thing is all political.
2. These online pharmacies do not even need to be CQC registered and we know hundreds that are listed on the gphc green cross scheme, offer a online consultation service but are not cqc registered like UKMEDS selling sleeping pills https://www.ukmeds.co.uk . So rather than name and shame the ones trying to be compliant, the message i'm getting now is just keep away from CQC and carry on as a pharmacy service. Its obvious CQC will make your life hell.
Flag them up and its an easy way to get your inhaler quality payment.


I was twelve when my dad passed away. I was nineteen when I woke up from surgery after a car accident that easily could have cost me my life. I was twenty-six when I received an "extremely abnormal, could be cancer" diagnosis of a spot on my skin. I was twenty-seven when I had a miscarriage. I was twenty-eight when I experienced 21 hours of labor.
More times than I'd prefer, I feel like God has given me more than I can handle. I've learned the hard way that the old adage, "God will not give you more than you can handle" is a lie to make us feel better, not a truth for us to rest in and find relief. Indeed, God will give us more than we can handle if that trial will make us more like Jesus or turn our attention to obedience. Every situation will be worked for our good (Romans 8:28), as promised in Scripture, but His good may not be what we would have chosen for ourselves or even defined as good.
We hate to think about it, but sometimes God's good for us is embracing unimaginable heartbreak or even harm. I am always reminded of the remarkable story of Stephen (Acts 6-7 when I think about God's good for His people. I'm sure he felt he was being handed more than his fair share of hardship when he was thrown outside the city and stoned, And yet, just before Stephen's death he delivered an impassioned speech to the Sanhedrin, tracing the history of Israel from Abraham to Solomon, showcasing God's faithfulness to His unfaithful people, and pointing to Jesus as the Righteous One. We know Paul was present at this speech, and I can't help but wonder if this speech haunted him and began softening his heart toward the Lord.
After Stephen was stoned, the church scattered because of persecution (Acts 8:1). This was a difficult time in the life of the church, but because they were scattered and preached the Gospel wherever they went, the church grew. Stephen's too much to handle set in motion a sending out of those who trusted Jesus that would result in many believing in Him who would have not had the chance to hear had the church not been persecuted. God used this moment for great good.
I think about Job, Joseph, and those we see in the Gospels born blind or desperately needing healing. Each of their suffering seems to much to bear and was not the effect of anything they had done. Instead, each was an opportunity for God's good. Job gave glory to God and was faithful to Him even in his loss. Joseph made a way for God to continue the lineage of Jesus when a great famine hit the land. Those healed showed that Jesus was who He said He was because He had the power to heal them.
The Gospel screams that God will give us more than we can handle, as we see God send Jesus to to lay down His rightful place in Heaven for earth, His deity for flesh (Ephesians 2:6-8). He withstood a punishment He did not deserve so that we might have a right relationship with God (Isaiah 53:5). God does work all for the good of those who love Him, even in the darkest day.
I pray that I will come to expect God to give me more than I can handle and that I will always respond with joy, knowing that God will use it for good because He is in control, and He loves me more than I love myself (and that's way more that I'd like to admit). May we rest in His promise to walk those times with us, being enough of us and giving us His strength to withstand the storm.
In this passage in 1 Corinthians 10, Paul is issuing a warning to the Corinthians - that they are not to live like many Israelites who saw the greatness of God over and over again, and yet still chose to disobey. God has promised to not allow temptation to be too much to handle, but He doesn't say anything about holding difficult situations from His people.

Amendment to limit state government deserves vote of the people
June 9, 2016 | By Special to the Nor'eastern News
By Robert Harris, Research Director
Carolina Partnership for Reform
RALEIGH — Who owns the government? The people? The media?
Conservative reformers in the State Senate have passed a Constitutional Amendment limiting the growth of government spending to no more than inflation plus population increase. It keeps politicians from jacking up spending without any restraint. It's appropriately called the Taxpayer Protection Act.
Since the Taxpayer Protection Act is a Constitutional Amendment, it must be approved by the voters. And 74 percent of Republicans, 52 percent of unaffiliated voters and 49 percent of Democrats supported it in our recent poll. Overall, the Taxpayer Protection Act is favored 58 percent to 27 percent.
Well, that broad support for spending limitation doesn't square with the easy-spending philosophy of the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh News & Observer. And if the people might vote for the Taxpayer Protection Act, then by golly, the Charlotte Observer and the News & Observer don't want a vote.
The newspapers claim a similar spending limit in Colorado was so bad the people suspended it in 2005. And they say the N. C. House shouldn't dare let our voters decide if we want it here.
For the record, Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights is not the same thing as North Carolina's proposed Taxpayer Protection Act.
In Colorado, TABOR capped the annual increase in state revenues and refunded excessive collections to the people. The voters can suspend the law during fiscal emergencies.
But even since voters put a handcuff on the power of Colorado's politicians to tax and spend back in 1992 under Colorado's TABOR – which goes further than the proposed Taxpayer Protection Act – Colorado taxpayers have received $2 billion in refunds.
Contrary to what the media want us to believe, the Colorado law is still in effect.
And no. Colorado's schools haven't shut down. Under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, spending per student is higher even after inflation — not lower.
With a Constitutional brake on unrestrained spending by politicians, Colorado's economy outgrew the country average in per capita income.
The Taxpayer Protection Act is a sensible way to keep politicians from overspending. It makes them set priorities instead of throwing money everywhere. The Senate just passed a budget raising teacher salaries an average $6,000 within the sound fiscal limit of the Taxpayer Protection Act. But elections can change things and our economy can gain from long-term fiscal responsibility.
While the Taxpayer Protection Act is a debatable issue, something else isn't debatable. The people own the government. Not newspaper editorial writers or politicians.
It's time for the House to let the people vote on the Taxpayer Protection Act.
Editor's note: Carolina Partnership for Reform is a public benefit organization that conducts policy research and educates the public about freedom-based policy reforms and initiatives in order to further individual liberty, promote economic growth, and improve education in North Carolina.

The township of Pol-e-Dokhtar is located to the south west of Lorestan province. It has a hot climate due to the influence of warm air currents from Khuzestan.
The history of this region intermingles with that of Khoram Abad. This township lies 100 km. from Khoram Abad.
Pol-e-Dokhtar is approximately 100 kilometres from Khorramabad, the provincial capital. Just north of the city resides the remains of an ancient bridge, which, along with others in this area, has been submitted as a potential UNESCO World Heritage site.
Pol-e Dokhtar means "Bridge of the Daughter" in Farsi.


Everyone Praises Green Copenhagen. But What If Your City Has 20M people?
"There will be roughly 1 billion more people living in cities by 2030," said Buenos Aires mayor Mauricio Macri at the C40 Latin American Mayors Forum in the Argentinian capital last week. "Which is equivalent to creating a Buenos Aires-sized city every three weeks for the next 15 years." The big question, as Macri and other mayors agreed at the forum, is: how do cities accommodate this high population expansion in a sustainable way?
We often hear the looming figure that 70% of the world's population will be living in cities by 2050 – yet that's a milestone Latin America has already reached. It is the most urbanised region in the world. Do its cities champion ideas that are up to the task of cutting greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing climate change resilience? Judge for yourself.
Committing to increasing sustainability is not enough: cities need to act quickly. "We need to be faster in the implementation of climate resilience strategies," argued the mayor of Mexico City, Miguel Mancera. His city recently kicked off a 2014-2020 climate action program, which promises to reduce pollutant emissions in the metropolitan area by 30% over six years. Since the program started in June 2014, he claimed CO2 has already been cut by 1m tons.
Of course, investment is a critical part of this, and many mayors called on national governments to support them in funding renewable energies and low-carbon infrastructure. Rio de Janeiro's mayor, Eduardo Paes, argued that incentives were needed for the private sector to invest in sustainable, climate-resilient cities.
Efficient public transport is one part of this transport evolution; safe cycling infrastructure, pedestrianization and electric vehicles are also critical. Latin America is well known for the widespread use of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, which originated in the Brazilian city of Curitiba. Curitiba continues to innovate with micro electric cars, as well as electric taxis and buses – in addition to expanding their BRT and improving cycling infrastructure. Mexico City is currently expanding their Metrobus network as well as their metro system.
In 2013, Buenos Aires transformed its car-dominated 20-lane wide Avenida 9 de Julio in the city center by giving over the 4 central lanes to a Metrobus system, which – according to the city government – saves the equivalent of 5,612 tons of C02 emissions annually. The Argentinian capital's protected bicycle lanes ("bicisendas"), introduced in 2009, now span 138km and the city's bike-share scheme, the first in Argentina when it began in 2010, currently has over 140,000 registered users. By improving cycle provision and infrastructure, the city has seen bicycle use increase greatly.
Encouraging walking is another part of curbing car use. "We need to instil a greater respect for the pedestrian," urged the mayor of Quito, who is pedestrianizing areas of the city in addition to expanding its network of bike lanes and adding electric bikes to their bike share program.
Latin American cities including Quito, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City also joined C40 cities around the world to sign the Clean Bus Declaration of Intent, expressing a commitment to reduce emissions and improve air quality through the introduction of low- and zero-emission buses in their city fleets.
Landfills contribute to greenhouse gas emissions – and transporting waste to these landfills contributes further to pollution. As populations and resultant consumption grows, efficient waste management was agreed to be a vital part of more sustainable cities.
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) is working with cities including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo on the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) initiative which aims to reduce methane and air pollution through the dissemination and implementation of best practice waste management policies and strategies such as closing open dumps and capturing landfill gas.
São Paulo's creation of a solid waste management plan has been a participatory process, promoting a practice of "shared responsibility" as well as maximum recovery of waste. The city now has two recycling plants receiving 250 tonnes of waste per day; there is also a recycling fund for 1200 cooperatives and organic waste management is incentivized. Impressive stuff – though São Paulo certainly has other pressing issues that need addressing.
"The traditional model of urban expansion is no longer sustainable," Felipe Calderón announced. While a contentious topic in the London housing crisis debate, the UK capital's green belt was praised by Latin American leaders as a positive strategy for curbing the risk of limitless urban expansion. Compact cities, it was argued, increase energy efficiency, maximize land use, reduce traveling distances within the city (then reducing the need for individual car use if public transport is in place) - as well as preserving nature.
Of course with the anticipated rate of urbanization and population expansion, compact cities mean much denser cities. While compact (and relatively low population) European cities like Copenhagen were praised as a positive model, it was admitted that extremely dense cities like Hong Kong were not good examples.
The question remains, of course, of how you can have a metropolitan region as big as, for instance, that of Mexico's capital – home to 21 million people – and make it feel and function like Copenhagen's, home to 2 million. For now, in Latin America as in many other parts of the world, the jury's out.


"Songs that resound with uncomplicated authenticity."
"A masterclass in authentic songwriting and tasteful production"
Linville is legendary regionally for his work in the now-defunct Burtschi Brothers and for his behind-the-scenes influence—including producing John Fullbright's first album and teaching guitar lessons to a then nine-year-old Parker Millsap. The "Oklahoma Gazette" rightly called him a "godfather of modern Oklahoma folk" and noted that his success opened doors for a state teeming with talent: a mentor and contemporary for other Oklahoma acts like Fullbright, Millsap, Turnpike Troubadours and John Moreland.
His acclaimed solo releases include 2012's "Sun or Moon" and 2014's "Out on the Wire" EP, called "rich, soulful and beautiful" by Jimmy LaFave. A live audition of a track from the latter even netted him a role in a William H. Macy film, in which he performed the song.
A gifted instrumentalist, Linville is also known for his work as a sideman with Texas songwriter Hayes Carll, who calls him "criminally underrated." He's also performed with Willie Nelson, Tommy Allsup and Ryan Bingham and shared billing with Merle Haggard, Other Lives and Billy Joe Shaver, among countless others.
Independently, Linville has sold 15,000 albums and played thousands of shows across his 20-plus year career, with an ever-evolving repertoire deeply rooted in songcraft, sly humor and subtlety.
"Travis Linville writes, plays and sings music the way it's supposed to be done," Carll says. "With depth, heart and soul. One of my all-time favorite musicians."

Q: Correct way to use maven dependency scope for library maintainers I am a library maintainer and I came to a point where I discovered that one of my libraries can result into a dependency issue for the end user as it provides a transitive dependency to the end users. The end-user might be using a different version of the transitive one and therefore it can result into unexpected behaviour. I don't want to enforce the end user to use a specific version by providing the transitive one however I still want my library to be functional and therefore I don't know what is the best way to solve this issue. Should I use the default dependency scope or should I switch to the scope provided?
I also want to provide some context to make this question more clear. I created sslcontext-kickstart which is just a high-level library for configuring ssl for a server or client. The library has additional separate dependencies which the end-user can use to make it more easy to use for their use case. So the core library has only a dependency on slf4j-api. However there are separate libraries which contain mappers which I also created for apache4, apache5, netty and jetty which relay on the core library. Apache4, apache5, netty and jetty are currently a compile scoped dependency and therefor the end-user will also get the version which is specified in my pom. Let's assume someone is using the apache4 version. So should the end-user exclude the dependency manually when they are using my library and don't want the specific transitive apache4 dependency? Or should I mark apache4 as provided scope type. In that way there will be no transitive dependency, however the end-user should have the apache4 dependency present on their classpath or else they will get a runtime exception when they use my library.
What do you guys think regarding this topic? What are my options and which should I choose in your opinion?

A: Two options:

*

*Mark the seldomly needed dependencies as optional (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/40398649/927493).

*Create different JARs for the different target platforms like sslcontenxt-kickstart-for-apache4. Then the users of the library can choose whichever fits best for their needs without getting the unwanted dependencies.

SYRIZA, Podemos, Workers' Front
Written by: Damir Pilić, Slobodna Dalmacija, 6. 12. 2014.
Translated from Croatian by: Adnan D. Junuzović
Edited by: Andrew Hodges
Alexis Tsipras is a forty year old engineer. He was born in 1974 in Athens, four days after the perennial right-wing military junta collapsed. His country subsequently fell into a typical two-party system in which power shuttled back and forth between socialists and conservatives with both parties embracing neoliberal capitalism equally. Greece is currently one of the three most endangered countries in the European Union with extreme levels of unemployment , especially among young people.
Professor Pablo Iglesias is 36 years old. He was born in 1978 in Madrid, three years after the dictator Francisco Franco died along with his fascist regime that spanned several decades. Following this event, his country also dropped into a typical two-party system with power swinging back and forth between conservatives and socialists with both parties embracing neoliberal capitalism equally. Today, Spain is one of the three most endangered countries in the European Union with extreme levels of unemployment, especially among young people.
Professor Mate Kapović is 33 years old. He was born in 1981 in Zagreb, one year after the communist leader Josip Broz Tito died. He spent his first decade living in an authoritarian communist regime, and his second decade living in an authoritarian nationalist regime after which (from the year 2000) his country fell into a typical two-party system in which power shifted back and forth between the SDP (The Social Democratic Party) and HDZ (The Croatian Democratic Union) with both parties embracing neoliberal capitalism equally. Today, Croatia is one of the three most endangered countries in the European Union with extreme levels of unemployment , especially among young people.
The New Landscape of Europe
All three of the abovementioned individuals are highly educated, young intellectuals residing in the most endangered countries of the European Union host to extreme unemployment (among young people especially). Yet what is it that actually connects Tsipras, Iglesias and Kapović?
They are connected through their left-wing political engagements. Tsipras is the leader of the Greek party "SYRIZA", Iglesias is the leader of the Spanish "Podemos" while Kapović is one of the leaders of the newly-founded Croatian party "Radnička fronta" (Workers' Front). All three parties have political programs with clear stances related to strengthening workers" rights and creating a more just society whilst simultaneously opposing current European Union savings policies that favour strong capital and which are destroying the lives of millions of European workers and all other people that live exclusively from their work.
What is the difference between these three left-wing activists? At this moment, they are differentiated in terms of the levels of political power they currently have. While Tsipras and Iglesias are already established as stars of the European left and possess strong support from Greek and Spanish nationals ("SYRIZA" and "Podemos" are currently the most popular political parties in their respective countries), Kapović and his party "Workers" Front" are just setting off on their journey in that direction. Let us examine public opinion research results concerning these organisations.
According to a poll conducted in September by the Greek organisation MRB Hellas, thirty percent of Greeks support "SYRIZA" – five percent more than is the case with the ruling New Democracy party led by the country"s conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. According to this week"s poll by the most popular Spanish daily journal "El-Pais", "Podemos" currently has the support of 28 percent of Spaniards - two percent more than the socialist opposition and seven percent more than the ruling "People"s Party" led by the conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. If elections took place today in these two countries, Alexis Tsipras would become the leader in Greece while Pablo Iglesias would have the same position in Spain. Needless to say, this would transform the political landscape of modern Europe.
Social Democratic Treason
"Radnička fronta" has not yet been subject to Croatian public opinion polls because the organisation is yet to be constituted as an actual political party. According to an interview given to the portal "Index.hr" by Mate Kapović and his associates Dimitrije Birač (an economist) and Denis Geto (a trade unionist), this will happen soon.
Many people will immediately assert that the "Workers" Front", as any other new political initiative, does not stand a chance in the Croatian political scene, thoroughly contaminated, they would argue, with "dinosaurs" that continuously occupy positions of authority. These people should be encouraged and warned that both "SYRIZA" and "Podemos" first appeared recently: "SYRIZA" did not exist a few years ago while "Podemos" was founded eight months ago and in August had the support of merely ten percent of the population.
The social conditions in Greece and Spain that enabled the growth in popularity of "SYRIZA" and "Podemos" are very similar to current social conditions in Croatia – it is worth repeating this fact, albeit for the fifth time in this text, that these three countries are the most endangered in the European Union and they have extremely high rates of unemployment, especially among young people. Nominally leftist organisations in all three countries (socialists and social democrats) have abandoned and betrayed the ideas of the left (except in certain dimensions related to worldview) and have transformed themselves into the loyal servants of neoliberal capitalism. Besides, the rapid ascent of Mirela Holy and "ORaH" (The Party for the Sustainable Development of Croatia) shows that there is a vast vacuum in the Croatian left-wing political spectrum.
In short, we are speaking about a wider European trend. While the developed north-western European capitalist countries have reacted to the crisis with the rise of right-wing parties, people in southern Europe (most affected by the crisis) are leaning towards the left. The reason for this need not be mentioned (for the sixth time) again.


MG-SOFT Net Inspector is a powerful fault and performance network management application. Equipped with advanced web-based user interface, it offers a complete insight into almost all aspects of a modern multi-vendor IPv4 and IPv6 network operation including problems, performance and availability.
Net Inspector incorporates diverse data collection mechanisms by using SNMP, WMI, VMware web services, NetFlow/sFlow, and ICMP protocols and by polling a variety of network services (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DNS, SMTP, IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, SSH, Telnet, NNTP, NNPTS, LDAP, LDAPS, SIP, H.323, IPP, LPD, MsSQL, MySQL and Oracle service) with threshold-based problem detection. The software continuously monitors the status and performance of network devices and triggers alarms when problems occur, e.g., if a device or service stops responding, if a metric crosses the threshold value, etc. This way, you are immediately notified of existing problems and warned about potential future issues before they occur.
The software is designed to be as scalable as possible. When deployed on smaller networks, all components of the application run on a single server host. When larger networks are managed, two or more remote polling engines can be deployed to facilitate efficient	management of your network.
Net Inspector incorporates a modern, completely web-based front-end employing dynamic web technologies. This front-end will help you start using the software effectively in no time, thanks to its intuitive and user-friendly interface with a modern look and feel and with the ease of use of a web browser application. It provides a graphical presentation of user views, maps, dashboards and reports. Presented content offers a complete and quick insight into the status and performance of the monitored network and devices, as well as the capability to quickly drill-down to root causes when problems occur.
MG-SOFT Net Inspector home page displaying the network topology and active alarms (right section) and several fault and performance management dashboards (Device Status, Problems, Top-N reports, etc.) indicating the device health and resource utilization (left section). The home page is fully configurable.
Net Inspector employs advanced network discovery methods and algorithms that let it automatically discover network devices and graphically present the layer 2 (physical) and layer 3 (logical) topology of the discovered network. Discovered devices are represented by icons that are automatically linked with connection lines and mapped onto layered maps that reveal how devices are logically arranged into networks and subnets on the IP level. In addition, the software lets you import device information from a CSV text file. All this lets you start monitoring your network almost instantly, without any special training.
Net Inspector supports discovering and monitoring the organization's virtualization infrastructure, i.e., virtualization servers (VMware ESX/ESXi and vCenter and Microsoft Hyper-V) and virtual machines (VMs). This lets you effectively monitor your virtualization environment's health and resources of virtualization servers and VMs, like the CPU load, memory usage, network utilization and traffic, datastore usage, etc.
In addition to fault management, Net Inspector incorporates also the full-featured performance management functionality, effectively covering both essential network management areas. The advantage of integrated fault and performance management is that full history of alarms and performance data is available in one location, which allows you to see a more realistic picture of the health of the network and let you bring educated decisions, based on trend reports, regarding its maintenance. Further advantage is that the integrated system enables you to monitor virtually any parameter available through SNMP (vendor-specific metrics, vendor-specific traps), and let you deploy distributed polling engines that enable load balancing and better performance of the management system. Distributed management also makes the system easily scalable without degrading its performance, so the management system's capacity can seamlessly grow with your network.
Besides, Net Inspector incorporates NetFlow and sFlow monitoring that measures the amount and type of network traffic and offers detailed IP traffic statistics identifying the applications that generate the most traffic (in packets and bytes), endpoints (IP addresses) that receive and send the most data, protocols that are used most, etc. This information is obtained by collecting, analyzing and aggregating NetFlow and sFlow packets exported by network devices. Monitoring IP traffic flows effectively complements the standard network monitoring and together they offer a valuable insight into the network infrastructure and bandwidth utilization and let you easily identify the causes of congestions, determine where to apply Quality of Service, optimize resource usage, etc.
Furthermore, Net Inspector also lets you monitor the IP SLA statistics, including HTTP, FTP, TCP, DNS and VoIP Quality-Of-Service metrics (e.g., MOS, jitter, latency, packet loss, etc.) on devices implementing the IP SLA functionality (e.g., Cisco routers).
The software can automatically perform certain actions on events/alarms. Actions are primarily used for notifying network operators about events, e.g., by e-mail or by executing arbitrary commands (e.g., to fix specific network problems in an automated fashion or to notify responsible persons via some other means, for example, by emitting an audible alarm, by sending an instant message, etc.).
In addition to the standard user-based authentication mechanism and associated access rights, Net Inspector also lets you configure and assign different user views to users. User views differ in respect to what managed objects they contain. This principle enables effective delegation of the network supervision activities to different staff members and even end-users.
Net Inspector is available in four editions. The LITE edition is suitable for small networks, while WorkGroup, Enterprise and Carrier editions let you efficiently monitor the status, health and performance of medium- and large-sized networks.
1) Net Inspector is available only in 64-bit build for Windows (x64) and Linux (x86_64).
2) For running the WorkGroup, Enterprise and Carrier editions of Net Inspector on Windows OSes we strongly recommend using Windows Server operating system.
3) At least 250 GB free disk space is required for the NetFlow database if Net Inspector NetFlow module is used for actively collecting and analyzing NetFlow and/or sFlow packets.
(*) Please contact us for the system requirements of the Carrier Edition of Net Inspector.
Supported Web Browsers: Chrome v65+ (recommended), Firefox v53+, Safari v10+, Edge v38+.
Minimal screen resolution: 1280x1024 pixels (recommended: 1920x1080 or higher).
For detailed system requirements, please refer to the Net Inspector Installation & Configuration Guide.

Bio-based C-3 Platform Chemical: Biotechnological Production and -Conversion of 3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde
Detta är en avhandling från Lund University
Författare: Roya Rezaei; Lunds Universitet.; Lund University.; [2013]
Nyckelord: TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lactobacillus reuteri; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; biotransformation; Glycerol; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; In situ complexation;
Sammanfattning: Popular Abstract in English Microbes are present everywhere in the environment and have quite an intimate relationship with humans. Much of our perception about microbes is as disease causing agents but on the other hand it is also the microbes that present cure for the disease. Besides using microbes for traditional applications, for example for providing antibiotics, production of fermented foods, etc., humans are increasingly taking advantage of the "good" microbes as probiotics for improving health, wastewater treatment, mining of metals, cleaning the environment, and for producing bioenergy, chemicals and materials. The micro-sized organisms contain a complex network of metabolic pathways involving a large number of chemical reactions catalysed by enzymes for utilizing different substances in the environment and converting them to a variety of products. Lactic acid bacteria comprise an important group of microbes that humans have used for thousands of years to conserve and enhance the nutritional value of sensitive foods. Lactobacillus species are a major part of this group. Some Lactobacillus species are used for the production of yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, beer, wine, cider several fermented foods, as well as animal feeds, such as silage. Lactobacillus reuteri is a major component of the bacteria present in guts of mammals and birds. It has been shown that several different strains of L. reuteri have a positive effect on health, including various types of gastrointestinal disorders and oral health. In the late 1980s, it was discovered that L. reuteri produced a novel broad-spectrum antibiotic substance by fermentation of glycerol, which was named as "reuterin" after Gerhard Reuter. Reuterin can inhibit the growth of some harmful Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, along with yeasts, fungi and protozoa. Reuterin is a mixture of three components, made of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3HPA) and its derivatives. This thesis is about 3HPA as a molecule of interest for the chemical industry based on renewable resources. Today, as we become increasingly aware of our dependence on fossil resources to fulfill our needs, and the environmental problems associated with the use of these non-renewable resources, there is a growing interest in the use of renewable resources as raw materials and environment-friendly methods for the production of chemicals, materials and energy. 3HPA is currently not a commercial product. If it could be economically produced from glycerol using the bacteria it can potentially be used as a building block or "platform" for several other chemicals with 3 carbon atoms (C3), e.g. 1,3-propanediol (1,3PDO), 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3HP), acrolein, etc. Glycerol, commonly known as glycerine, is produced as a side product of hydrolysis of fats, production of ethanol and biodiesel. Over the past decade or more, biodiesel is being produced from several plant oils such as rapeseed-, soybean- and palm oil, and also from used oils. In this thesis, conversion of glycerol to 3HPA using L. reuteri is investigated. When the 3HPA level reaches a certain limit, it starts to affect the cell viability and activity, hence inhibiting its own production. Different strategies to complex 3HPA were studied to improve its production. L. reuteri has also the ability to convert 3HPA to 1,3PDO and 3HP via different pathways. In the thesis, the pathway for 3HP production has been introduced in standard bacteria, Escherichia coli by recombinant DNA technology and shown to be active. One of the enzymes of the pathway has further been studied. The work in this thesis was done in collaboration with Perstorp AB, and was supported by Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems.

Thunderstorm accompanied by light rain, brought on by a western disturbance, lowered city's day temperature by 10°C on Tuesday. While the day temperature is likely to fall further to 28°C on Wednesday, the IMD predicted that the relief would be short-lived as the mercury is expected to rise again starting Friday.
The rain and thunderstorm activity is likely to continue today, IMD scientists said, adding that an active western disturbance has induced a cyclonic circulation over parts of Haryana, Punjab and the national capital region which would lead to widespread rainfall on Wednesday.
The wind speed is also likely to be around 60-70 kilometre per hour on Wednesday, an IMD spokesperson said.
On Wednesday, the minimum temperature is likely to drop further by a degree or two, IMD officials said. "A western disturbance (WD) had hit the northern plains Monday evening, triggering light rain and gusty winds, bringing the temperature down. Scattered showers and thunder activity is expected on Wednesday and the first half of Thursday as well. However, the mercury is set to rise again from Thursday evening," a senior official from IMD's regional weather forecasting centre, said.
After Thursday, the day temperature would again rise to 34°C-36°C and minimum temperature would be around 23°C, the IMD official said.
The official added that the day temperature rises after the passing of a western disturbance.
Meanwhile, Gurugram's air quality index (AQI) on Tuesday was at 169 (moderate), according to the Central Pollution Control Board's AQI monitor at Vikas Sadan in Sector 11.
on Wednesday due to the high wind speed.

Hogue Commits To Sarnia Sting
Alex Hogue (L) and Sarnia Sting GM Nick Sinclair (R) (Photo Courtesy of Sarnia Sting)
By Josh Boyce April 28, 2017 4:17pm
The Sarnia Sting have signed 2017 second round pick Alexandre Hogue to a Standard Player Agreement and Education Package.
The 16-year-old Embrun, ON native was chosen 37th overall in the OHL Priority Selection.
In 45 games with the Cumberland Grads, the offensive defenceman posted 14 goals and 33 assists for 47 points. He also registered 3 assists in four OHL Cup contests from the Grads' back-end.
Sting GM Nick Sinclair says he's excited to have a player like Hogue in the organization.
"We are thrilled to receive a commitment from Alex and his family to join the Sting organization," says Sinclair. "Alex is an intelligent player with high-end skill and has a natural knack for being able to create offence from the back-end. It's great to see how excited Alex is about playing in Sarnia. He is a keen young man that's committed to putting in the work it takes to become an everyday player in this league. We are looking forward to helping him develop as both a player and a young man in the coming years."
Hogue is expected to suit up for Team HEO in the upcoming OHL Gold Cup in Kitchener from May 4-7.

Ridgeland, Miss., (October 10, 2018) – – C Spire has bolstered its network resources and mobilized employees in case it needs to respond to Hurricane Michael, which is expected to make landfall along the Florida Panhandle this afternoon as the season's first Category 4 hurricane.
Michael is expected to make landfall near Panama City with winds up to 120 mph, storm surge of 9 to 13 feet and rain accumulations of 4 to 8 inches. Mandatory evacuations have been issued and a state of emergency has been declared for 35 Florida coastal counties, four Alabama counties and 92 counties in Georgia in the storm's path.
C Spire readies its extensive wireless and wireline networks and workforce for a wide range of potential disasters, including major weather events such as hurricanes. The company routinely reviews and updates its emergency preparedness plans and conducts drills throughout the year to test the readiness of its network and employees.
September and October are usually the months when most hurricanes form in the Atlantic. Last year was considered an above average season with 17 named storms and 10 hurricanes, six of which were considered major, including the first two major hurricanes (Harvey and Irma) to hit the continental U.S. in 12 years.
While the risks vary each year, it's still important for residents and businesses in hurricane-prone areas to prepare for the worst. "It only takes one disaster to change your life forever. That's why we practice the Scout's motto at C Spire. We hope for the best, but prepare for the worst," Branch said.
All employees and contractors, along with an extensive suite of network resources, are on "high alert" as Michael approaches the Florida Panhandle, according to Branch. C Spire also is ready to activate its Emergency Response Plan, which guides the use of resources and personnel during a crisis.
C Spire has massed equipment and materials to protect critical network facilities and cell sites in case the hurricane tracks westward towards Mississippi and Alabama. If needed, the company will use back up batteries and diesel generators at mobile sites and switching centers and has replacement fuel supplies in case normal fuel delivery options are interrupted by commercial power outages or road closures.
The company operates multiple hurricane-ready "super switches" that provide added protection and service assurance for customers. The high-tech telecommunications switching facilities are designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane with winds up to 155 miles an hour, connect millions of calls, wireless data transmissions, video content and other critical services daily for consumer and business customers. In addition to hardened and reinforced shells, the all-steel and concrete buildings house large-scale 500-kilowatt diesel power generators, a grid of back up batteries and other redundant back-up systems, operations and technologies.
C Spire also relies on an extensive network of microwave technology that can circumvent damaged or destroyed landline systems and ensure that communications can be routed to their final destination, Branch said. "Microwave technology can assist with communications during natural disasters when landline systems are down," he added.
In addition, C Spire offers companies of all sizes a suite of disaster recovery and business continuity services through commercial data centers that operate 24/7/365 with the industry's highest design, construction and operation certification through the Uptime Institute.
The structures can withstand a 145-mph wind load with its 9-inch think external steel-reinforced precast concrete walls welded to 6-foot-wide spread footings. In addition to multiple redundant power feeds, the buildings also boast giant diesel generators each capable of producing 1.65 megawatts of continuous power, enough to light thousands of homes and businesses.
"This infrastructure, our continuing network investments and our dedicated, customer-inspired workforce will help ensure that essential communications continue for our consumer and business customers even when we experience severe weather events, natural disasters and other life-threatening situations," Branch said.
The company is coordinating its emergency response efforts with local and state agencies and volunteer organizations, including the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, Alabama Emergency Management Agency, Georgia Emergency Management Agency, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentive Award (LTIA)
The Lupong Tagapamayapa is an administrative body created by law to operationalize the barangay justice system which is better known as the Katarungang Pambarangay. It is not in legal contemplation a court (DOJ Opinions No. 95, s. 1981 and No. 43, s. 1982). The Lupon or its Chairman and the Pangkat do not try cases and decide cases which are the essence of the jurisdiction vested upon a court of law (Gonzales v. Court of Appeals, 151 SCRA 287, 291-292 [1987]).
Katarungan Pambarangay (KP) is the Philippine response to the continuing global search for indigenous mediation structures capable of resolving disputes within a community, and beyond the formal courts of justice. The principal feature of KP is the Lupong Tagapamayapa. For years of conflict resolution of experiences, there is the view that successes have been largely attributed to the commitment and dedication of Lupon members in the performance of their duties and responsibilities. Cognizant to the significant contributions of the Lupons in the furtherance of the KP objective through the years, the DILG launched the Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Awards, both as a function of public policy and as a tribute to outstanding Lupon performance.
The Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Awards (LTIA) was established pursuant to Section 406 (b) of the LGC of 1991 which mandates the DILG to grant economic and other incentives to Lupong Tagapamayapa (LT) for their outstanding contributions to attain the objectives of the Katarungang Pambarangay.
It was established in 1997 as a means to institutionalize a system of granting economic benefits and other incentives to the Lupong Tagapamayapa that demonstrates exemplary performance in settling disputes at the grassroots level. The performance and accomplishments of the lupons were evaluated by committees organized at the regional, provincial and municipal levels on the basis of a) efficiency of operations; b) effectiveness in securing the katarungang pambarangay objectives and c) creativity and resourcefulness of mediators.
Role of DILG:
To spearhead the organization of different Award Committees in different levels.
Regional Director as the Chairman in the Regional Awards Committee
DILG Offices in the Provincial, HUC's, CC's and Municipal levels provides technical and secretariat services to the committees; and

We study the asymptotic distribution of three-step estimators of a finite dimensional parameter vector where the second step consists of one or more nonparametric regressions on a regressor that is estimated in the first step. The first step estimator is either parametric or non-parametric. Using… Newey's (1994) path-derivative method we derive the contribution of the first step estimator to the influence function. In this derivation it is important to account for the dual role that the first step estimator plays in the second step non-parametric regression, i.e., that of conditioning variable and that of argument. We consider three examples in more detail: the partial linear regression model estimator with a generated regressor, the Heckman, Ichimura and Todd (1998) estimator of the Average Treatment Effect and a semi-parametric control variable estimator.

Q: Hotspot and Internet access together -- why not? If I go Settings → Network → Wireless and select Use as Hotspot..., I get the following message:

If you have a connection to the Internet other than wireless, you can use it to share your internet connection with others.
Switching on the wireless hotspot will disconnect you from ABC.
It is not possible to access the internet through your wireless while the hotspot is active.

What are the technical reasons why I can't set up an Hotspot and be connected to the Internet at the same time?

A: You're basically after turning your PC into a WiFi repeater.
If you use Ubuntu, you can use create_ap to create a hotspot:
sudo create_ap wlan0 wlan0 SomeNetwork SomePassword

Where the first interface is the device you want to use for the hotspot, and the second interface is the one that has access to the internet. Since you're repeating over the same adapter in your case, use the same interface.
If you use Windows, you can use Connectify Me or any similar software to use the same adapter that connects to the internet to run a hotspot.

Home > Catholic Encyclopedia > G > Genoa
ARCHDIOCESE OF GENOA (JANUENSIS)
Archdiocese in Liguria, Northern Italy. The city is situated on the gulf of the same name, extends along the lowest ridges of the Ligurian Apennines, which sweep around the gulf, between the mouths of the Polcevera and the Bisagno, and is protected from the inroads of these waters by the Punta della Lanterna and the Punta del Carignano. The bay forms a natural harbour secured against storms by the promontory of Portofino, which acts as a breakwater. Two piers (the smaller one begun in 1133) were necessary to break the force of the tide during storms. Its favourable position has made Genoa the largest trade centre on the Mediterranean. It is also a naval fortress with a chain of defences about ten miles in length.
In 205 B.C., Mago the Carthaginian landed there with a large army, and sacked the town for its sympathy with Rome, the rest of Liguria supporting the Carthaginians. From the end of the Second Punic War, Genoa belonged to Rome. After the Lombard invasion, it remained subject to Byzantium, like nearly all the maritime towns of Italy. In A.D. 641 King Rotari, in his expedition along the coast of Liguria, sacked Genoa, and carried off immense booty. It was later incorporated in the Lombard kingdom, probably under Charlemagne, becoming part of the March of Obertenga. In 935, it was surprised and sacked by the Saracens, but the Genoese fleet followed up the enemy and defeated them near the island of Asinara. In 1008, the Saracens came for the third time. Meanwhile the trade and enterprise of Genoa had steadily increased, and now rivalled that of Pisa, in those early times its friendly neighbour. In 1016, they drove the Arab chief Mogalied from Sardinia. In 1052, the town organized itself into a commune, and was governed by consuls and a podestà (mayor); in 1258, however, the control was divided between the podestà and a "captain of the people", a condition which lasted till 1310. From 1339 to 1797, except when the rule was in the hands of foreigners, the city was governed by doges chosen from the principal families, at first for life, but after 1528 for periods of two years.
In 1087, the Genoese and Pisans captured Almadia and Subeila in Africa. In the First Crusade their fleet transported the crusading armies to the Holy Land, secured many ports in Syria and Palestine for the Christians, and, in return for their services, they were granted important commercial privileges among the Christian principalities of the East. Together with the Pisans they aided Innocent II to put down the schism of Anacletus, and, as a reward, the pope divided between the two municipalities the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, retaining, however, his own overlordship. In 1147, they took Almeria and Tortosa, in Spain, from the Moors. The threatening attitude of Genoa forced Frederick Barbarossa to recognize all its liberties and possessions; hence, until the reign of Frederick II, it remained friendly to the imperial cause, and even assisted in the attack on Sicily. In 1240, however, the Genoese refused to do homage to Frederick II, and, in 1241, they lent their fleet to transport the northern prelates to the council convened by Gregory IX, but were pursued and defeated between the islands of Il Giglio and Monte Cristo by the Pisans, the allies of the emperor. In 1244, Innocent IV took refuge in Genoa. The commercial favour shown by the Latin Empire of Constantinople (1204-60) towards the Venetians enabled the latter to defeat the Genoese at St-Jean d'Acre and on the high seas, in 1257 and 1258 respectively. In 1261, the Genoese took their revenge by assisting Michael Palæologus to reconquer Constantinople, and obtained from him Smyrna and Pera, and the monopoly of trade in the Black Sea. They developed markets rapidly on the shores of this sea, the principal one being Caffa, and carried on a brisk trade, exporting mainly wine, oil, woollens, and silks, and importing skins, furs, corn, Persian stuffs, etc. For the government of these colonies, a general consulate of the empire of Gazaria was established.
A bitter war now began between the rival cities of Genoa and Pisa. From 1262 to 1267, five naval battles (Settepozzi, Durazzo, Trapani, Tyre, and St-Jean d'Acre) were fought, in which Genoa was generally the loser. St. Louis IX of France sought to establish peace on a firm footing (Cremona, 1270); but a revolt in Corsica, stirred up by the Pisans, soon led to another war (1282-1284), which ended in the utter defeat of the Pisans near the island of Meloria. Soon the old rivalry with Venice was renewed, and the scene of the conflict shifted to the East. At Laiazzo, on the coast of Armenia, the Genoese were victorious (1294); the Venetians retaliated by destroying the Genoese quarter of Galato (1296), but in 1298 Lamba Doria (founder of the Doria family, famous in the annals of Genoa) totally destroyed the Venetian fleet at Curzola. Both rivals being now weakened, Henry VII (1311) easily obtained from the Genoese the right to govern them for twenty years, and a promise of help against Naples. A little later, Robert of Anjou (1318-1335) was called in by the Guelphs in opposition to the Visconti of Milan, favoured by the Ghibellines. When the Venetians, together with the Greeks and the Catalonians, wished, in 1342, to occupy the island of Scio as an outpost against the Turks, the Genoese, profiting by a quarrel among the allies, forestalled them. This, amongst other causes, led to a fresh outbreak of war in 1350. In the Bosphorus (1352), a fierce but indecisive battle was fought; while at Alghero in Sardinia (1353) the Genoese were defeated by the Venetians and their allies. Genoa then chose Giovanni Visconti, Archbishop of Milan, as its ruler of "Signore". In 1354, Paganino Doria routed the Venetian forces in the Adriatic and at Porto Longone in the Morea (Greece). Driven out of the Black Sea, the Venetians took Beirut by way of compensation, and Genoa seized Cyprus (1373). When the Greek Emperor, John V, gave the Venetians the island of Tenedos, the Genoese, fearing lest the former should thereby have access to the Black Sea, espoused the cause of Andronicus; in this way broke out the conflict known as the War of Chioggia. The Genoese, defeated at Anzio (1378), were victorious at Pola (1379) and blockaded Venice, but were obliged to surrender when the blockade was broken by Vettor Pisani. The great rivals were now exhausted.
During the fifteenth century, Genoa constantly called on outsiders to rule her, but as constantly rebelled against their rule (1396-1409, France; 1409-1413, Teodoro II Paleologo di Monferrato; 1422-1435, Filippo Maria Visconti; 1458-1461, France; 1464-1478, 1487-1499, the Sforza of Milan; 1499-1512, 1515-1522, France). Meanwhile her colonies in the East were slipping away (Pera, 1453; Caffa, 1475). In 1431, at Portofino, the fleet in the service of Visconti was defeated by the Venetian and Florentine allies. Genoa was involved in the conflict between Francis I and Charles V, and in 1522 was sacked by the Spaniards. In 1527, the Spanish were expelled by the celebrated Andrea Doria with French aid, and in the year following Andrea succeeded in ridding himself of his French allies. The "Signoria" was offered him, but he prudently refused the title, though in reality he exercised its powers. This brought about the Fieschi Plot (1546), which proved abortive owing to the death of its leader. Noteworthy events in the subsequent history of Genoa are the attempts of Corsica to shake off Genoese authority (1553; 1737, King Theodore), its annexation by France in 1768, and the two conspiracies for the annexation of Genoa by Savoy (Vachero, 1628; Della Torre, 1672). In 1684, Louis XIV, without any just cause, had the town bombarded. A hundred years later (1797) the French set up there a democratic republic. In 1800, Masséna sustained a famous siege and blockade on the part of the Austrians and English. In 1805, the duchy was annexed to France, but in 1814 was provisionally, and in 1815 definitely, annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Genoa owes to the magnificence of its architecture its title of "La Superba" (the Proud). Among its best-known churches are: San Lorenzo, rebuilt in the twelfth century, the lower part of the façade dating from 1100, the remainder from 1523. The spandrils over the door are decorated with bas-reliefs of various periods. The cupola dates from 1567. There are paintings by Barrocci, Ferrari, Cambiaso, and sculptures by Montorsoli, Sansovino, Guglielmo della Porta and others. Near by is the little church of St. John the Baptist, formerly the baptistery of the city. The church of Saints Andrew and Ambrose (600) has paintings by Guido Reni and Rubens. Santissima Annunziata has beautiful Composite columns, and a famous Last Supper by Procaccino. In the church of St. Catherine of Genoa (with the saint's room adjoining) may be seen her body preserved in a silver urn. The church of Saints Cosmas and Damian antedates the year 1000; that of St. Donatus, consecrated in 1189, is built of old Roman materials. St. Philip Neri dates from 1694; the Gesù Maria from 1487. The latter has paintings by Paggi, Cambiaso, and Salimbeni. St. George's has two bronze doors, a part of the booty of Almeria (1148). The altar of St. John's was erected after the victory at Pola. On the façade of St. Mark's (1173) is a marble lion captured from the Venetians at Pola. Other churches are: Santa Maria in Castello (columns of oriental granite); Santa Maria del Carmine (rich tabernacle); San Siro (the cathedral till 985); San Stefano, which existed in 493, and has a painting by Giulio Romano. San Matteo, containing the war-trophies of the Dorias, was founded in 1125 by Martino Doria, and restored by Andrea Doria from plans by Fra Giovanni Angelo Mortorsoli; on the façade is the sarcophagus of Lamba Doria, the victor at Curzola; under the high altar is the tomb of Andrea Doria by Montorsoli, and several inscriptions recall the triumphs of this noble family of seamen and rulers. Santa Maria in Carignano (sixteenth century), one of the handsomest churches in the world, is in the form of a Greek cross; its cupola is the work of Galeazzo Alessi of Perugia. The Campo Santo, or public cemetery, is also greatly admired for its beautiful statuary. Among Genoa's public edifices are the Albergo dei Poveri, or home for the poor (1655), with a church attached; the Loggia dei Banchi, or exchange, built by Galeazzo Alessi. The Palazzo Ducale (1291) is crowned with a row of stucco statues of the various princes and kings defeated by the Genoese; its spacious halls were adorned by famous artists. The Palazzo S. Giorgio (1260), restored in 1368, has many statues of the doges of the fifteenth century. Worthy of notice also are the university, founded in 1471 by Bartolomeo Bianco, the Palazzo Reale, and the Municipio or Town Hall. Genoa has many famous private palaces, e.g. the Adorno, with paintings by Rubens, Guido Reni, Titian, and Giulio Romano. the Doria, with a representation of St. George and the Dragon over the doorway. Besides the university, there is a merchant-marine school, a Catholic high school, an academy of fine arts and other institutions of a similar nature.
The line of bishops is usually dated from St. Solomon or Salonius, said to have been martyred in 269. Other bishops are mentioned in the third and fourth centuries, the first known with any certainty being Diogenes, a member of the Council of Aquileia in 381. Blessed Jacobus a Voragine, author of the Legenda Aurea (Golden Legend) and Bishop of Genoa (1292-1298), tells us that till the tenth century he found no mention of a Bishop of Genoa, thus proving that in his time nothing was known of the legendary martyred bishops. The St. Syrus I assigned to the beginning of the fourth century may therefore be a double of St. Syrus II (1139-1163). When the Lombards captured Milan (568), its bishop, Laurentius, and many of his clergy took refuge in Genoa; five other Milanese bishops took up their residence there. It was this same Laurentius who dedicated the church of St. Ambrose built for the Milanese refugees. About 617, Bishop Appellinus became involved in the schism of Agrestius. In 634, Bishop Asterius ordained St. Byrsinus, who was to be one of the apostles of Northumbria.
Councils were held at Genoa in 773 (?), 1216, and 1292. Innocent IV and Adrian V were natives of the city. It was originally a suffragan of Milan, but, in 1133, Innocent II made it a metropolitan see. Its first archbishop was the St. Syrus mentioned above. Its suffragan sees are Albenga, Bobbio, Brugnate and Luni-Saranza, Chiavari, Savona and Noli, Tortona, Ventimiglia. In has 200 parishes and 470,000 souls (161,000 in the city); there are 33 religious houses for men in the city, and 19 throughout the diocese; also 62 convents for women in the city, and 82 throughout the diocese. The archdiocese supports 2 Catholic daily newspapers, 3 weekly papers, and 13 other periodicals.
