Growing up in a Latino household, I noticed that various cultural and ethnic factors exist that influence the perceptions of mental health in our community. Coming from a family of Bolivian immigrants, I often noticed the stigma associated with mental health and the lack of knowledge among Latino families on how to adequately address these issues.
The National Resource Center for Hispanic Mental Health has found that Latinos are at a high risk for depression, substance abuse and anxiety and that 1 in 7 Hispanics have attempted suicide. According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, suicide is the third leading cause of death for Latino males 18-34.
Within the Latino community, most symptoms of depression are overlooked as simply nervios (nerves), tiredness, physical weakness, or--when talking about youth-- it is simply a phase that they will grow out of. Many of my parents' Latino friends would belittle psychologists and psychiatrists, saying that they weren't real doctors or that they would not provide any "real" help.
Even though this problem may be dismissed as minor issues by Latinos, the facts say otherwise, and the stressors that could lead to depression and other mental health issues are numerous.
During the time of the recession, the service industry was hit hard, with thousands of people losing their jobs. With Latinos making up a sizeable portion of the service industry, this resulted in a hard, stressful time period for the Latino community. The 2008 Emotional Health Index (EHI), created by disease management companies Gallop and Healthways, showed that the Hispanic population had the worst emotional health compared to other races.
Latinos work hard to maintain good financial standing in order to take care of their families. When the recession hit, they felt shame and ultimately blamed themselves for their financial troubles. During this time period, my family foreclosed on our home because my father couldn't keep up with the monthly payments since the construction industry was slow. I could feel the pressure he was experiencing, see his anxiety, and heard many arguments between my parents due to the financial stress.
Another prime stressor for Latino families can be the cultural adaptations that come through immigrating to a new country. When Hispanics learn to adapt to living in the U.S., their traditional values and beliefs often clash with a completely new culture. Others face language barriers and the emotional stress that comes with an insecure immigration status. Knowing that you are at risk of deportation and the sense of helplessness that accompanies it can quickly spiral into depression. Immigration raids can traumatize both parents and children, even if the children were born in the U.S. Many of my childhood friends lived each day in various states of fear and stress, fearing that they would be separated from their loved ones and placed in the foster care system because their parents and/or siblings were undocumented.
It is also difficult for Hispanic youth to cope with being caught in the middle of American culture and the values from home that their parents have taught them. These youth may also face discrimination and marginalization due to struggling to live within two distinct cultures. As a child, I was somewhat oblivious to the fact that I was Bolivian. Being born in the US and spending most of my time at school--my first language was English--I never embraced my heritage until I was much older. When I was in the 6th grade, one of my classmates blatantly told me I wasn't American. I told him otherwise, but he continued degrading me as if I was less than he was. I simply ignored him, but others may not overcome this ridicule so easily.
Hispanic youth also face other stressful factors such as graduating and attending college. The difficulty of course work and maintaining decent grades alone can cause some to sink into depression. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's youth risk survey found that Latino youth were at a higher risk of "feeling sad or hopeless (36.3%), to seriously consider suicide (15.9%), and to attempt suicide (10.2%) than white (26.2%, 14.0%, and 5.6%, respectively) and African American (29.2%, 13.2%, and 7.7%) youth".
During my four years of high school, six students committed suicide. Seeing the halls filled with students crying and having to close off the library to counseling was saddening. Knowing that one of your own classmates would not be sitting in their seat the next day was a strange feeling. The impact on the morale of our community was extensive.
In recognition of Minority Mental Health Month last month, it's important that we encourage more constructive conversations about mental health in minority communities. With the suicide rate being the tenth leading cause of death and depression affecting 20%-25% of those above the age of 18, this is not an issue to take lightly. Although there are several stressors and situations that Latinos must deal with and overcome, asking for help or informing someone of your thoughts and feelings can be tremendously helpful. No one wants to lose a loved one due to suicide, especially with the variety of different treatment methods we have at our disposal.
Rebecca Toro Condori is currently a Corporate Relations and Development Intern at the LULAC National Office in Washington, D.C. Rebecca will enter her sophomore year this upcoming fall at Virginia Tech with majors in Marketing and Finance. After graduating, she hopes to go into a career that focuses on multicultural marketing or international economic development.
During my short time interning at the LULAC National Office over the summer, there have been many memorable moments. In particular, one of my favorite opportunities was when I visited Capitol Hill and informed various senators on LULAC's policy position concerning the Every Child Achieves Act (ECAA), the U.S. Senate's newest rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
As interns, we researched the bill and spoke with staffers in several senate offices about our concerns with language in the current version. This bill affects children from a variety of different vulnerable communities including not only Latino students, but also African-American students, Asian students, students with disabilities, students with low income, and English Language learners. I loved having the opportunity to represent LULAC and talk to staffers on the Hill about issues that are important to me. Advocating and helping others advocate for themselves is a passion fostered in me since I was a young child.
Furthermore, the visit resonated with me on a deeper, more personal level. Identifying as a half African-American and half Caucasian woman, many people questioned why I wanted to intern at LULAC for the summer. Some of my friends and family could not understand why a biracial college student with no Latino roots would spend her summer working at a civil rights organization for Latino citizens. They thought I should be spending my time within my own demographic, serving my own people, and representing my own culture.
Unfortunately, discrimination, inequality and hate affect people across a variety of demographics. Many people try to color-code policy, seeing some issues as "black" issues, others as "Latino" and others as "Asian". By classifying issues as race or group specific, we imply that those groups should handle their issues on their own.
However, there are a lot of gray areas, and often all minorities are affected in some way by the same inequalities. For example, while informing staffers about the education bill, I testified to how often injustices affect many different groups. If ECAA passes with its current language, there will be no subgroup accountability. This means that when Latino students, African-American students, students with disabilities, etc., fall behind, there is no required intervention to help support them. Policies like these affect many minority groups simultaneously, yet I often see several camps of different minorities working separately on the same issues. Yes, some injustices affect some groups more than others or in different ways; however, I often wonder what these groups could accomplish if they worked together on issues that impact all of our communities.
While interning at LULAC, I have been afforded the opportunity to join forces with other civil rights organizations representing a variety of communities. For example, LULAC is a member of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, an organization that brings various groups together to take action on civil rights issues and legislation such as the ECAA. In addition, LULAC worked with the National Urban League, SEARAC and MALDEF on a social media campaign to raise awareness about our concerns with the current ECAA. While the bill ultimately passed without the subgroup accountability amendment, 43 Senators who we contacted voted in favor of adding a subgroup accountability amendment.
Samantha De Forest-Davis is currently a Democracy Intern at the LULAC National Office in Washington, DC. Samantha is a rising junior at Augustana College in Illinois where she is majoring in Political Science, Sociology, and Africana Studies. She hopes to continue working in community organizing and policy advocacy.

Бенеди́кт Нурси́йский (Венеди́кт Нурси́йский; ; Святой Бенедикт; ) — реформатор западноевропейского монашества, основатель первого в Европе монастырского ордена (на горе Кассино; 529 год) со строгим уставом, скоро получившим широкое распространение в Западной Европе (монахи-бенедиктинцы), святой католической и православной церквей (в православной традиции причислен к лику преподобных). Небесный покровитель Европы.

Практически единственным источником сведений о жизни св. Бенедикта является книга «Диалоги» св. Григория Великого, папы Римского.

Художественно-символически изображается либо в одеянии чёрного цвета бенедиктинцев, либо в белом одеянии монахов-камальдулов, и держащим розги, орудие изгнания бесов и наказания монахов.

Жизнеописание

Бенедикт был сыном знатного римлянина из Нурсии. Юношей он был отправлен в Рим на учёбу, но не закончив обучение, покинул город вместе с группой благочестивых людей, сбежав от столичной суеты, и поселился в Аффиде (совр. Аффиле), местечке в горах, расположенном неподалёку от Субиако. Известно, что в это время ему было около 20 лет, и что его сестра-близнец Схоластика к тому времени уже посвятила себя Богу.

По прошествии некоторого времени Бенедикт понял, что хочет стать отшельником. Случайная встреча с монахом Романом из монашеской общины, расположенной рядом с Субьяко, помогла ему. Монах показал Бенедикту пещеру возле искусственного озера на реке Анио и согласился приносить отшельнику еду. За три года, которые Бенедикт прожил в пещере, он закалился и физически и духовно. Слава его росла, люди начали совершать паломничества к пещере, чтобы посмотреть на отшельника; а монахи из Виковаро, одного из окрестных монашеских поселений, после смерти настоятеля уговорили Бенедикта возглавить их общину. Ничего хорошего из этого не вышло, у Бенедикта были слишком строгие представления о монашеской жизни, не понравившиеся общине. В результате он вынужден был покинуть это место и вернуться в пещеру после того, как его чуть не отравили.
Постепенно в голове у Бенедикта сложились представления о том, как должна быть устроена монашеская жизнь. Он разделил своих учеников, число которых к тому времени сильно выросло, на 12 групп, каждая из которых подчинялась своему настоятелю, а за Бенедиктом оставалось право общего надзора.

Около 530 года зависть и интриги местных монахов и клира вынудили Бенедикта переселиться на юг, на гору близ Кассино, где им был основан знаменитый монастырь Монте-Кассино, который впоследствии был признан первым в Европе официальным монастырем. Монастыри, существовавшие до этого, представляли собой лишь спонтанные монашеские поселения и общины, лишенные какой-либо организации, структуры и правил. Бенедикт же впервые создал монастырь как системное учреждение, имевшее четкую структуру, регламент, устав. Существовавшее на горе языческое святилище он превратил в христианский храм, местных жителей обратил в христианство. Скоро слава монастыря разлетелась по всему краю, число братьев в общине резко выросло.

По преданию, Бенедикт молитвой воскресил сына крестьянина из соседней деревни, который принёс умершего мальчика к монастырю.

Именно для общины Монте-Кассино, которая положила начало ордену, впоследствии названному орденом бенедиктинцев, Бенедикт около 540 года составил свой знаменитый «Устав Святого Бенедикта», который стал фундаментом не только для бенедиктинцев, но и для всего западного монашества. Устав во многом базировался на восточных уставах Пахомия Великого и Василия Великого, однако содержал ряд специфических черт.

Умер св. Бенедикт в 547 году в основанном им монастыре Монте-Кассино. В 1964 году папа Павел VI провозгласил св. Бенедикта покровителем Европы. День его памяти в католической церкви — 11 июля, в православной церкви (под именем св. Венедикта) — 27 марта.

Устав св. Бенедикта

Устав св. Бенедикта () творчески вбирает в себя традицию древнегалльского монашества, монашества св. Августина и восточного монашества, с которым св. Бенедикт познакомился через сочинения св. Василия Великого и св. Иоанна Кассиана. Одним из источников для Устава святого Бенедикта служил также анонимный монашеский устав «Правила Учителя» ().
В целом, устав св. Бенедикта очень практичен, в нём сделан упор на повседневные нужды и обязанности монашеской общины, как в богослужениях, так и в хозяйственной деятельности.
«Должны мы учредить отряд божественной службы» — «Constituenda est ergo a nobis dominici schola servitii». Поэтому и деятельность монаха выражается словом «militare» — «служить»; и устав не что иное, как «lex, sub qua militare vis» — закон, ненарушимый и непреложный, как непреложен закон воинской дисциплины. «Святой устав» содержит всё нужное для воина Господня; это — «устав-наставник». Устав Бенедикта предназначается для большинства, для средних людей, ставя себе целью воспитание их в духе монашеского идеала.
Очень сильно подчеркнут в уставе принцип киновии (общежительского монашества) и принцип монастырской автономии.
Сильно подчеркивается в уставе необходимость воспитания смирения, которое, по Бенедикту, важнее суровой аскезы. Уход от мира, понимается, в том числе, и как материальная независимость монастыря от внешнего мира, таким образом, личная бедность монахов не должна означать бедности монастыря. Жизнь монахов определяют богослужения, физический труд, чтение Св. Писания и творений Отцов Церкви, но главная часть молитв до мелочей определена уставом, а индивидуальная работа стеснена до крайних пределов: полагаться на свои силы может только испытанный анахорет.

Уставу св. Бенедикта до сегодняшнего времени следуют бенедиктинцы, цистерцианцы, трапписты, Оливетанцы и, в основных чертах и духе, также картезианцы, имеющие при этом свои особые правила.

Широко известны 72 правила из Устава.

Иконография
Св. Бенедикт изображается в чёрном монашеском облачении. Иконографические символы: устав, жезл аббата, пучок розг, треснувший кубок или кубок со змеёй (указание на попытку отравления), ворон с куском хлеба в клюве. Первые изображения св. Бенедикта датируются VIII веком.

Богослужебное почитание
Папа Павел VI нарёк Бенедикта покровителем Европы в 1964 году. В 1980 году папа Иоанн Павел II объявил его со-покровителем Европы вместе с Кириллом и Мефодием. Кроме того, он является покровителем спелеологов.

В  до 1970 года его праздник отмечается 21 марта, в день его смерти, согласно некоторым рукописям Martyrologium Hieronymianum и Беде. Поскольку в этот день его день всегда затруднён соблюдением Великого поста, в редакции «Общего римского календаря» 1969 года его день перенесен на 11 июля, дату, которая появляется в некоторых галльских литургических книгах конца 8-го века как праздник в честь его рождения. Есть некоторая неуверенность в происхождении этого праздника. Соответственно, 21 марта римский мартиролог в полторы строки упоминает, что это день смерти Бенедикта и что его поминовение отмечается 11 июля, а 11 июля в семи строках говорится о нём и упоминается традиция, он умер 21 марта.

У англиканской церкви нет единого универсального календаря, но свой  публикуется в каждой провинции. Почти во всех из них день святого Бенедикта отмечается 11 июля.

Православная церковь
В Православной церкви память преподобного Бенедикта совершается  и выпадает всегда на период Великого поста, поэтому служба Венедикту совмещается со службой из Постной Триоди. Память Венедикта относится к числу вседневных праздников. Сама служба непосредственно Венедикту состоит из трёх стихир второго гласа на «Господи воззвах», и канона второго гласа, написанного в IX веке преподобным Иосифом. Краегранесие канона: «Песнь принесу мудрому Венедикту» («Ὕμνον προσάξω τῷ σοφῷ Βενεδίκτῳ»). Тропарь отсутствует. В мартовской славянской Минеи есть кондак шестого гласа, в современной греческой Минеи кондак отсутствует.

Медаль святого Бенедикта

Эта религиозная медаль изначально произошла от креста в честь святого Бенедикта. На одной стороне медали изображен Святой Бенедикт, держащий Священное Правило в левой руке и крест в правой. С одной стороны от него ворон, с другой — чаша. На внешнем поле медали есть слова «Да укрепит нас его присутствие в час нашей смерти» (). На другой стороне медали есть крест с инициалами CSSML на вертикальной полосе, означающий «Да будет Святой Крест моим светом» (), а на горизонтальной полосе — инициалы NDSMD, которые обозначают «Да не будет змий мне князем» (). Инициалы CSPB обозначают «Крест Святого Отца Бенедикта» () и расположены на внутренних углах креста. В большинстве случаев вверху креста можно найти надпись «PAX» (мир) или христограмму «IHS». На краю медали с этой стороны расположены инициалы Vade retro, Satana VRSNSMV, которые означают «Отойди от меня, сатана, не не искушай меня своим тщеславием» (), затем пробел, за которым следует инициалы SMQLIVB, которые означает «Зло есть то, что ты предлагаешь, выпей этот яд сам» ().

Эту медаль впервые отчеканили в 1880 году в ознаменование четырнадцатого столетия со дня рождения Бенедикта и также называется Юбилейной медалью; однако её точное происхождение неизвестно. В 1647 году во время судебного процесса по делу о колдовстве в Наттернберге возле  в Баварии обвиняемые женщины показали, что у них нет власти над Меттеном, который находился под защитой креста. В ходе расследования обнаружили несколько раскрашенных крестов на стенах аббатства с буквами, которые теперь можно найти на медалях Святого Бенедикта, но их значение было забыто. В конце концов, нашли рукопись, написанную в 1415 году, с изображением Бенедикта, держащего свиток в одной руке и посох, заканчивающийся крестом в другой. На свитке и посохе были написаны полные слова инициалов, содержащихся на крестах. Затем медали начали чеканить в Германии, которые затем распространились по всей Европе. Эта медаль была впервые утверждена папой Бенедиктом XIV в его буллах от 23 декабря 1741 года и 12 марта 1742 года.

Бенедикт был также целью многих коллекционеров-нумизматов по всему миру. Одной из них является австрийская монета из серии «Христианские религиозные ордена» за 50 евро, выпущенный 13 марта 2002 года.

Влияние

Раннее средневековье было названо «столетиями бенедиктинцев». В апреле 2008 года папа Бенедикт XVI прокомментировал влияние святого Бенедикта на Западную Европу. Папа сказал, что «своей жизнью и работой святой Бенедикт оказал фундаментальное влияние на развитие европейской цивилизации и культуры» и помог Европе выйти из «тёмной ночи истории», последовавшей за падением Римской империи.

Бенедикт внёс больше, чем кто-либо другой, в развитие монашества на Западе. Его «Устав» был основополагающим документом для тысяч религиозных общин в средние века. По сей день «Устав» Святого Бенедикта является наиболее распространенным и влиятельным Правилом, используемым монастырями и монахами более чем через 1400 лет после его написания. Сегодня бенедиктинское семейство монашества представлено двумя ветвями: бенедиктинской федерацией и цистерцианцами.

На месте рождения Бенедикт и Схоластики в 1400-х годах была построена базилика. Руины их семейного дома были выкопаны из-под церкви и сохранены.  полностью разрушило структуру базилики, в результате чего остались стоять только передний фасад и алтарь.

Yahoo News Australia 12 December 2019
Zoo animals evacuated from a wildlife park are being cared for by an army of volunteers across the suburbs.
With the Gospers Mountain fire threatening Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park in Calga, 48km north of Sydney, a group of experienced carers offered to share their homes with kangaroos, owls, snakes and other native animals.
Park manager Tassin Barnard told Yahoo News Australia the animal locations needed to remain confidential.
"Having animals in care in the suburbs it's really important to maintain confidentiality to ensure security," she said.
"I mean one of the parks had two emus stolen a few years ago, how do you steal an emu?"
With the fire threat closing the park, they have no income coming in and Ms Barnard is fundraising to help feed their hungry menagerie.

Staff have been working countless hours of overtime and some are even donating their salaries back to the park, but they urgently need donations.
"We're not a big zoo with a big bank balance, we don't have savings to draw on," Ms Barnard said.
"We're literally running on credit and community goodwill at the moment.
"We not only need to get back to operating but we also need to put in some seriously expensive equipment to make sure next summer we are safe."
'You stop being thirsty, you stop being hungry'
Despite evacuating the animals in her care, Ms Barnard has refused to leave the remaining wild creatures that live in the forest at her beloved park.
She has slept very little since November 17 when she began directing more than 100 people, many of them from Wildlife ARC and WIRES, who volunteered to help.
"Three weeks ago, [we] realised that the fire could get to us in two days," Ms Barnard said.

"That fight or flight response is designed to carry you through a problem that might last an hour, it's not designed to carry you through a problem that might last a few weeks.
"Yet, that's actually how I function."
Ms Barnard organised the volunteers in ways that played to their strengths and found those with little experience excelled because they were eager to learn.
"I became the delegation super power, because I realised if there was something worrying me, I had to give it to someone else to deal with," she said.

"I had to focus on what that fire might do and what the people could do to help us get these animals out of danger.
"That required hyper focus."
With volunteers focused on their tasks, it was important to ensure everyone was taken care of.
"You stop being thirsty, you stop being hungry, you stop sweating," she said.

"I know people say you sweat when you're scared, you don't sweat when you're terrified.
"Everything just shuts down and you just focus on what matters."
By day three, burnt leaves were falling from the sky and the fire was within 20km of the park.
"The smoke was unbearable," she said.
"Trying to work in incredibly hot weather with a mask over your face is really difficult as well, but we all got quite good at it after a while."
Returning the zoo animals to the park
Three weeks on, with much of the bush surrounding the park burnt and containment lines strengthened, it is now time for park staff to consider returning some of the animals.
Away in care for weeks, some of them are beginning to show signs of frustration and need to "urgently" be returned.

"The first ones that need to come home are the dingoes," Ms Barnard said.
"They have a very strict pack hierarchy and just as of two days ago we started to see some behaviours could be a bit worrying.
"The young female attacked the old female.
"They're fine, but she was trying to say, 'Hold on a second you're not the boss of me'."

Ms Barnard believes the experience of evacuating the park will have them better prepared next time a "mega fire" approaches.
Wallabies and emus showed the most alarm when the smoke started blowing in, while dingoes can be calmly walked out on leads.
She believes the ongoing blazes across NSW and Queensland have changed Australia forever.
Bushfires will now be a part of life for people living near forested areas and they will need to learn to adapt.
The park will likely open next week and Ms Barnard hopes visitors will rally behind it in the same way the community did when the park was in need.

Launched in the pre-dawn at Lowell Rd. in Concord and headed down the Concord River this morning. The river was like glass and a light mist hung above the water.
...downriver was taken in before turning about.
Of course it's also possible those coolers might be filled with lobster and beer.
Appropriate for a Dog Day I moved about as slow as possible covering 8 miles in 7 hours and enjoying every moment. Did I mention just how much I hate winter?
Very, very low water ... Have you ever seen it this low?
I believe I've seen it this low before but don't recall seeing it get much lower. The water in the Assabet was considerably clearer than that in the Concord. Fascinating to see what's laying around on the bottom.
Amen on hating winter. I shiver to think about it - so try not to. Live for the day and today was nice and warm.

Kalle & Kaspar är två fiktiva figurer, skapade av de svenska författarna Anders Jacobsson och Sören Olsson. Berättelserna är skrivna i brevväxlingsform, vilket var en vanlig ungdomshobby innan det moderna Internet slagit igenom i mitten-slutet av 1990-talet. Berättelserna lästes först upp i radio, i Unga Efter tre i början av 1990-talet., och publicerades även i serietidningen FF med Bert, och även revidering till förmån av bokutgivning har planerats.

Handling
Kalle & Kaspar är två 12-åriga killar, vilka brevväxlar med varandra. Båda är intresserade av innebandy och tjejer, och då de skriver breven är de ofta kaxiga och tuffa, men egentligen har båda precis som andra stort behov av vänskap och kärlek. Kalle har tidigare brevväxlat med en korean .

Kaspar gillar en tjej som heter Natalie, medan Kalle tycker om en flicka vid namn Fredrika . Kalle har även en storebror som heter Carl-Gustaf och är 16 år och två andra syskon, Per och Greta .

Kaspar har en mamma och en pappa systrarna Desedoria och Eleonora .

Båda brukar inleda med orden "Tjena Kalle/Kaspar – Kalle/Kaspar här" och avslua med "Goda hälsningar – eder kömpis Kalle/Kaspar".

Queen's online tool addresses sexual harassment
Queen's University's Human Rights Office (HRO) is taking its expertise to the marketplace to address an emotionally charged and often poorly understood issue: sexual harassment.
HRO has developed an on-line training module that can be used to increase awareness, or as a remedial tool in the workplace when allegations of sexual harassment demonstrate the need for additional training.
The module consists of three sections: a questionnaire about the principles of sexual harassment, three scenarios illustrating how it can happen and what might be done about it; and a final quiz. Participants must score at least 90 per cent on each of the three sections to qualify for a printable certificate.
"The module not only defines what sexual harassment is, it helps you figure out the steps to consider in addressing it," says Margot Coulter, Human Rights Advisor/Sexual Harassment Prevention Coordinator. "It provides enough information so the employee or employer understands and thus can protect their rights or meet their legal obligations. And because it can generate a scored completion certificate, it enables institutions or workplaces to be more accountable."
The value of the tool is its deep knowledge base. One of Canada's oldest university-based human rights offices, the Queen's group had more than 20 years of experience to draw on. The case studies, for example, are varied enough to be relevant to non-academic settings within post-secondary institutions.
"The office decided to make the tool more broadly available in response to demand," says Ms Coulter. "A lawyer called me and said she'd looked all over North America for training for a corporate client and this was the best thing out there."
HRO's new online training module on sexual harassment is now available for purchase at Flintbox,

Warframe is a free-to-play third-person shooter set in a sci-fi universe. As is common with most free-to-play titles, Warframe regularly updates the game with new events to keep players engaged. Today, they released Ambulas Reborn, and you can watch the release trailer right here.
This very 80s trailer doesn't give you many details, but it sure is fun! Basically, in Ambulas Reborn, players will help the Perrin Sequence leader, Ergo Glast, to defeat Frohd Bek, who plans to unleash a dangerous new Ambulas prototype on the world (for a profit). A post from the devs on the official Warframe forums gives players all the details, but we'll run through everything quickly here as well.
You job as a players is to collect as many Animo Beacons as possible. They can be found, at varying quantities, during Corpus 1″open-air surfaces" once you've defeated an Ambulas. Depending on whether you are a solo player or in a clan, a certain amount of these Animo Beacons are needed to defeat the final boss on the Hades node on Pluto. Once defeated, players will receive a Supra Vandal as payment for their good deed.
There are, however, rewards other than the weapon. The Animo Beacons you collect can be exchanged for things like sigils, noggles, and new and returning syndicate mods. Also clans, as always, can choose to compete for trophies and experience by collecting mass amounts of Animo Beacons.
While there is currently no word on when console players will receive the update, the Warframe Ambulas Reborn event begins on PC today and ends May 11th at 2pm EST. If you are interested in participating, you can download Warframe for free on the official website. If you already play Warframe, will you be participating in this event?Let us know in the comments!

Q: How to deploy an .aar file as a service with 3rd party libs (in WSO2 application server) I tired to deploy .aar file as a service in the WSO2 application server. This service need to be dealt with postgress sql driver; so I changed the ant script accordingly to bundle sql driver as well together with the .aar file.
Then I deployed my .aar as a service in the WSO2 application server and deployment was successful. But when trying to trigger this service, I am always getting this error.
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/login
Tried to trigger the service by coping the same jar into following locations as well, but no luck. {application_server_home}\repository\components\plugins
{application_server_home}\repository\components\lib
{application_server_home}\lib
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Appreciate your help.

A: If you want to deploy a JAR in WSO2 Server you need to put it in {application_server_home}\repository\components\lib
If it is an OSGi bundle you can put it in
{application_server_home}\repository\components\dropins

A: You can put 3rd libraries to resources/lib in aar file. So them will be loading with aar in axis2 service of WSO2.
Also you can put then on server how it's describes in answer of Maninda

La Ciudad Universitaria Octavio Méndez Pereira, conocido popularmente como el Campus Central de la Universidad de Panamá, es el conjunto de edificios y espacios que lo conforman localizado en la Vía Transistmica en la Urbanización de El Cangrejo en la Ciudad de Panamá.

Es denominada internamente como La Ciudad de la Luz y alberga el Gobierno Universitario y la mayoría de las facultades, escuelas, institutos y organizaciones de la Universidad de Panamá.

Historia

La Universidad de Panamá fue creada mediante Decreto Presidencial de Harmodio Arias Madrid, del 29 de mayo de 1935. Fue inaugurada el 7 de octubre de ese mismo año e inició clases al día siguiente con una matrícula de 175 estudiantes en las carreras de Educación, Comercio, Ciencias Naturales, Farmacia, Pre Ingeniería y Derecho.

La Universidad empezó a funcionar en el turno nocturno en uno de los pabellones del Instituto Nacional.

Bajo la administración del presidente Enrique A. Jiménez, el gobierno compró alrededor de 60 hectáreas en el barrio El Cangrejo, las cuales destinó para la construcción de un campus universitario y la Escuela de Artes y Oficios, "Melchor Lasso De La Vega".

La primera piedra de la Universidad fue colocada el 2 de octubre de 1947 y el 9 de octubre el presidente Enrique A. Jiménez y el primer rector de la Universidad de Panamá, Octavio Méndez Pereira decidieron trasladar el monumento a Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra de la Plaza de Cervantes, luego Plaza Porras, al nuevo Campus, a un costado de lo que sería el edificio de Biblioteca y Administración.

Se llevó a cabo un concurso para el plan maestro del campus y la firma de arquitectos de Ricardo J. Bermúdez, Octavio Méndez Guardia y Guillermo De Roux ganó el mismo, diseñó los primeros edificios. Las obras fueron dirigidas por el ingeniero Alberto De Saint Malo, quien era el decano de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Arquitectura. Las obras comenzaron en enero de 1948 y el 29 de mayo de 1950 se iniciaron clases con los primeros cuatro edificios: Administración y Biblioteca, Humanidades, Ingeniería y Arquitectura y Laboratorio de Ciencias.

En la década de 1970-1980 se construyeron 17 edificios (Biología, Laboratorio Especializado de Análisis, Arquitectura, Ingeniería, otro de Humanidades, Biblioteca Interamericana Simón Bolívar y Facilidades Estudiantiles) y se compraron los edificios del DEXA y el Canal Once.

Gobierno Universitario

La Colina

En este lugar se encuentra el más alto Gobierno Universitario de la Universidad de Panamá. La Rectoría y la Secretaria General de esta universidad tienen sus oficinas en este lugar.

Es llamado la Colina debido a que este edificio se encuentra en una subida desde la entrada principal de la ciudad universitaria. Para llegar desde allí se debe subir unas antiguas escaleras que hoy día han caído en desuso.

Desde lo alto de La Colina de la Universidad de Panamá se divisa el monumental avance que ha tenido la ciudad. Es un sitio privilegiado que brinda un paisaje espectacular.

Aparte de su papel protagónico en la vida nacional, la Colina era y es el corazón de la vida de la Universidad de Panamá. Allí están los créditos, los expedientes, los diplomas y todos los reclamos.

Vicerrectorías

Unidades Académicas

Dentro de la Ciudad Universitaria se encuentran las mayorías de las Facultades y Carreras que ofrece la Universidad de Panamá. Estas son:

 Facultad de Arquitectura y Diseño
 Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias

 Facultad de Comunicación Social

 Facultad de Economía

Stolen U-Haul van carrying Amazon packages crashes into multiple cars while fleeing police
Virginia Barreda
Updated 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 28
A northbound lane on I-5 was closed for about two hours Sunday evening after a man driving a stolen U-Haul van allegedly hit multiple vehicles, including a patrol car, while evading police.
Officers received a complaint at 4 p.m. about a man driving in a "reckless manner" in a U-Haul van in the Albany area, according to Lt. Steve Mitchell with Oregon State Police.
Officials say the van was stolen in the Seattle area earlier that day while being used to deliver Amazon packages.
Police found the van but stopped following the vehicle after the driver, identified by officials as Jose Flores, 38, of Medford, refused to pull over. The driver continued north toward Salem.
The driver exited I-5 at Market Street where OSP, Salem Police and Marion County Sheriff's officers tried to box him in at a Fred Meyer gas station.
The U-Haul driver hit one OSP patrol car and fled. He crashed into a passenger car and a semi-truck on Market Street before getting back on I-5, Mitchell said.
Police chased him down I-5, until his van stopped working just before milepost 258.
Flores was arrested on the charges of reckless driving, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, unauthorized use and entry into a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, failure to obey and attempted assault on a police officer, failure to perform the duties of a driver, mail theft, reckless endangering, attempt to elude and providing false information to a police officer.
Flores is being held at the Marion County Jail.
No injuries were reported during the incident. A passenger car had to be towed.
Anyone in the Seattle area that is missing or did not receive their scheduled delivery from Amazon should call the Oregon State Police Dispatch Center at 1-503-375-3555 and reference OSP Case Number SP19-032026.
The story will be updated when more information is released.

Universities to share resources for teaching Portuguese
Universities in Macao and mainland China have agreed to make arrangements for sharing resources for teaching the Portuguese language, the University of Macau says.
Representatives of the universities concerned signed on Monday an agreement to arrange ways to pass borrowed books and other documents from one institution to another, and to catalogue jointly their materials written in Portuguese, the University of Macau announced in writing.
This will also prompt the joint production of new materials in Portuguese, the announcement says, citing University of Macau Vice-rector Rui Martins.
Mr Martins's university has taken the lead in forming alliances among academic libraries in Macao and the Portuguese-speaking world on one hand, and among academic libraries in Macao and mainland China on the other, its announcement says.
Last month a report on Rádio Macau quoted Mr Martins as saying 20 mainland Chinese universities that teach Portuguese and 20 institutions of higher education in lusophone countries would form a library alliance.

magictr | April 10, 2019 | Politic | No Comments
The border in the Donbass should go under the control of Ukraine, and Russia should not prevent it, says the President
If Russia blocks action in the UN security Council on peacekeepers in the East of Ukraine, against the environment of Russian President Vladimir Putin will be strengthened economic sanctions.
The President Petro Poroshenko said on air of radio "New time", reports the press service of the head of state.
"We should immediately move to implement the Minsk agreements. Security component – is making for a meeting of the UN Security Council the issue of the "blue helmets" – said the head of state.
He noted that it was a traditional peacekeeping mission, which must perform several tasks to create the security environment:
withdrawal from Ukraine of all foreign troops, as recorded in the Minsk agreements;
the disarmament of illegal armed formations to create a corresponding security component;
the withdrawal outside the territory of heavy weapons.
The head of state noted that after this we can talk about the introduction of a political component.
"The most important component is to take control of the uncontrolled part of the Russian-Ukrainian border in order to prevent seepage through the uncontrolled part of the border forces, that will destroy a security component," – said Poroshenko.
According to him, the whole world that the "blue helmets" – it should be a traditional peacekeeping mission with a mandate to use force.
"Force is used against illegal armed groups. Thus, we ensure the safety of Ukrainians living in the occupied territory, and press out the occupation troops," he explained.
"We need to secure a meeting in the Normandy format, which implements the Minsk agreements. As there are no other agreements, on the basis of which it is possible to apply sanctions", – said Poroshenko.
Answering the question of what would happen if Russia blocks action in the UN security Council on peacekeepers in the Donbass, the President said:
"The sanctions will be strengthened. The sanctions are in very sensitive areas. For example, financial. For example, the seizure of assets of Putin's inner circle. For example, the prohibition of the transfer of sensitive technologies that shape the Russian economy".
He added that the Russian economy is integrated into the world.
"And if you take a professional approach to the issue, every month, every quarter, the price of Russian occupation of Ukraine is expected to increase," – said Petro Poroshenko.
We will remind, earlier Poroshenko said Putin had put himself in a trap, capturing the Crimea and the occupied part of Donbass.
It was also reported that Poroshenko explained what the Kremlin threatens to delay the issue of the Ukrainian prisoners.

Man Police Say Was Attacked for Wearing MAGA Hat Sends Jesus-Inspired Message to Suspects
By Ben Marquis
Published April 17, 2019 at 4:27pm
While the left claims there has been a rise in hate crimes and targeted attacks in the era of President Donald Trump, which they attribute to him and his supporters, the reality is it is often Trump's supporters who are the victims of politically motivated assaults, especially those who choose to wear the famous red "Make America Great Again" hat out in public.
That is what police say occurred when a Trump supporter in Maryland named Atsu Mable — a legal immigrant from the West African nation of Togo — was assaulted by two men who took exception to his red MAGA hat while he was out for a walk after dinner Saturday evening near his home in Germantown.
According to a report from the Montgomery County Department of Police, 27-year-old Jovan Crawford and 25-year-old Scott Duncan Roberson were arrested and charged with assault and robbery after repeatedly striking Mable and stealing unspecified "property" from him that was summarily destroyed.
But in what can only be described as an object lesson in grace and forgiveness, Mable said during an interview with Fox News that, following Jesus' example, he bore no ill will toward his assailants.
Instead, he shared a message of "love" and "peace" that he said he would like to see similarly extended to everyone regardless of ideological alignment.
Mable first described how he had been approached near the end of his post-dinner walk by himself around the neighborhood by the three other men, two of whom began to harass him over his MAGA hat, with one warning him, "You shouldn't be wearing that hat, bro."
Mable said he replied, "That's not your problem. That's mine, for personal reasons." Unfortunately, as he attempted to walk away from the men, Mable was punched in his back, then hit again more times as a fight ensued, prior to the assailants running away.
A witness to the assault called the police, and Mable said he was able to get a picture of the men with his cellphone camera.
Do you think Mable's assailants should serve time in prison?
As noted by the police report, Crawford and Roberson were found by officers a short distance away attempting to hide themselves among a group of children playing basketball, after which they were arrested.
Mable was asked by Fox News host Steve Doocey if he had a message he wanted to share with the two men.
"I have a message for love — that Jesus said in the Bible that you must love your neighbor, so I still love them," he replied. "I think whatever happened to me that day should not happen to anybody, for their political view.
"So I still love them and I forgive them. I'm ready to make peace with them if I could see them again."
Asked why he had decided to support Trump and wear the MAGA hat, Mable said, "I like the message that the president brought back in 2015 when he was running. And then I liked the message and I'm seeing what he's doing.

"But I'm not here to criticize anybody or put anybody down for if they are left or right, or if they are red or blue. I know that the president has his own agenda, and that agenda — I do believe in that agenda — and he is delivering on it and making this country great again."
Mable was asked if he would consider wearing the MAGA hat again despite having been attacked for it, and he replied in the affirmative, saying he intended to wear it for rallies and other events.
"I'm very proud of wearing the hat," Mable said.
This man could have been righteously furious at the men who attacked him over a hat and sought vengeance or demanded that justice be served. Instead, he shared a biblical message of peace, love and forgiveness for others that should be embraced by everyone.

A high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas was sentenced to life in prison without parole for torturing, killing and burning a man who owed him $600.
Michael Lynn Rogers, 48, was convicted Friday of capital murder for the torture killing of 34-year-old Alberto Gonzalez.
He received an automatic sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
While the verdict was read, more than 15 bailiffs were in the courtroom to ensure that jurors were able to leave the courthouse safely. Family and friends of Rogers filled the gallery.
Before delivering the verdict, members of the Dallas County jury asked if their names would be made public.
One man testified during the trial that he was afraid of Rogers and believes the white supremacist gang wants to have him killed for testifying against the defendant, who is known as "Texas Mike."
He said Rogers is second-in-command of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas in the North Texas region.
Gonzalez was killed at Rogers' house in the 1000 block of Toronto Street near Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas.
His body was dumped and set on fire next to a pond in the 1500 block of West Hunter Ferrell Road in July 2016.
Gonzalez had been beaten, hit with a hammer, sexually assaulted with a broom handle, slapped with a machete and worked over with a power drill, court records show.
During a police interview, Rogers downplayed his role in Gonzalez's slaying, pointing to other people who were in his house at the time.
Gregory Collier, 29, and John Paul Street, 33, have both been charged with murder in Gonzalez's slaying. They were among a handful of people at the house the night he was killed and were present when his body was dumped in Irving.
Collier, nicknamed "Gator," received a 10-year sentence for a reduced kidnapping charge as part of a plea agreement. He testified against Rogers.
A trial date has not been set for Street's case.
Defense attorney Stephen Duplantis argued that Street, a member of the White Knights, was the primary actor in Gonzalez's slaying. Duplantis said investigators had "tunnel vision" and arrested Rogers in a "rush to judgment."
Gonzalez was not affiliated with either of the white supremacist gangs. He had gone to Rogers' house to buy drugs. While Gonzalez was there, Rogers accused him of stealing $600.
Collier explained that the group at Rogers' house, which included a member of the primarily Hispanic gang Tango Blast, did not discuss Aryan Brotherhood business. He said they were all there for drugs.
He said Aryan members aren't opposed to hanging out with members of other gangs, which have primarily minority members. He said money brings them together.
"Only thing that matters is green," he said.
Collier and his girlfriend, Shelvie Spriggs, were both at the house when Rogers started hitting Gonzalez. Both testified that Rogers was mad about his missing wallet. They said that eventually, Rogers agreed to let Gonzalez mow his lawn for a month to pay off the debt.
The disagreement settled down, and everyone used methamphetamines together.
But after a while, Rogers grew angry again about his stolen money.
That's when Street grabbed a hammer and bashed Gonzalez's legs, authorities say. Collier said he also kicked Gonzalez and then hit him on the head with a beer bottle.
Collier said Rogers and Street were the ones who got more violent toward Gonzalez. At one point, they used a hot spoon to singe Gonzalez's face.
Spriggs said she could hear Rogers demanding to know where his wallet was while Gonzalez was "crying out for help."
"You've got the wrong person," Gonzalez said, according to Spriggs.
At one point, Rogers said he couldn't let Gonzalez leave the house alive, Spriggs and Collier said.
Rogers went into his bedroom to get a drill and took it into the kitchen, where Gonzalez was incapacitated on the floor. That's when Collier heard drilling sounds.
Gonzalez had four holes drilled in his head, one in his chest and one in his abdomen.
Once Gonzalez was dead, Collier said, the group called another person with a truck to help them dispose of the body. They put Gonzalez's body into a toolbox and drove to the dumpsite at the pond.
During a recorded police interview, Rogers said the "White Knight guy" was to blame for a lot of the abuse.
Rogers said, in hindsight, he wished he had called the cops. He said he always felt bad for Gonzalez because he had a "speeching problem."
"I'm big-hearted with people like that," Rogers said.
Prosecutors Tommy Adams and Dewey Mitchell said Gonzalez's death is likely being used by the Aryan Brotherhood as an example that, "People don't owe us debts. People don't steal from us."
"They operate in fear," Mitchell argued.

European candidate says 'Harris must go' following Waterford scandal
Justin Kelly
Ireland South European election hopeful Adrienne Wallace has said Minister for Health, Simon Harris "must go" after reports of dead bodies being left on trolleys in University Hospital Waterford due to mortuary issues.
"Our health crisis has spiralled; not only do they gamble with our lives every day but we are now denied dignity in death," the People Before Profit candidate said.
Her comments come following the damning letter from four consultants in UHW, detailing the refrigeration issues.
The letter which was signed by consultant pathologists Prof Rob Landers, Dr Fergus MacSweeney, Dr Nigam Shah and Dr Christine Shilling, all of UHW, stated that, "due to inadequate body storage and refrigeration facilities, most bodies lie on trolleys in corridors, often leaking body fluids on to the floor."
The four also said the mortuary was deemed unfit for purpose in 2004, but the HSE has failed since to replace it.
Ms Wallace who has campaigned for 24/7 cardiac care across the south east says "this is the last straw."
"Ireland is one of the richest countries in the world; that this is happening here in the 21st century really shows how politics, as usual, has failed us all. I have emailed Gerry O'Dwyer, chief executive of the South-South West Hospital Group who has been notified of these conditions, looking for answers."
She added: "Health equality should be a basic human right but instead we have waiting lists for waiting lists, the outsourcing and privatization of women's health care that led to the cervical smear scandal and a mortuary that poses an environmental and health risk, because of the danger of infection spreading and the circulation of unfiltered air."
"This is one scandal too many, it is time for Simon Harris to go. We need a new politics, one that puts people before profit and invests in our public health care system."
