Somalilandsun-A friend of mine from the Somali Region in Ethiopia (Ogaden), another region under occupation like Khatumo, talked to me the other day about the similarities of the two occupations- in their case under an empire dominated by successive Amhara/Tikray governments, and in our case by one Somali clan bent on establishing its own mini empire in NW Somalia (former British Somaliland). What struck him were the differences of the stand of the respective governments and peoples in the face of secessions or other threats to their country's unity and territorial integrity.
The stand of the two governments could not be so contrasting. As my friend and I concurred, all Ethiopian governments of every hue, from Emperor Haile Selassie, Mengesto to the late Meles Zenewi, would fight tooth and nail, and spare nothing to defend the unity of their country when faced with ethnic separatist insurgencies, and towards this end would commitwar crimes and crimes against humanity as it happened against the somalis in the Somali Region.
In the case of Somalia, on the other hand, it is its presidents and other political leaders more than the public who are in the forefront to scuttle the unity of the country rather than defend it. Former president Sheikh Shariif Ahmed rarely ever rebuked Somaliland for invading and occupying unionist regions of Somalia let alone censure it for declaring its secession in the first place. Indeed he was often under their spell and receptive to their charm offensives. Who knows what he would have done if he was re-elected. Many in Somaliland are sure that he would have formally conceded their demands once the postponed talks with the Somali government resume.
Unlike Sheikh Shariif's secret clandestine flirtations with the secessionists, his successor, Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, has gone public and has no qualms in openly embracing and giving succour to them for whatever reason. First was the way he left Khatumo, Somalia's most proven loyalists, in the cold while rewarding secessionist Somaliland – sworn to the destruction Somalia – with the most coveted post in his government; secondly was his complete silence to defend the unity of the country at least orally as behoves a head of a State, in the face of Somaliland's latest brazen attacks on Khaatumo; and thirdly was his unwarranted gratuitous compliments to the enclave for holding elections aimed at bolstering the ultimate break-up of the country, and implicitly condoning those polling they tried to impose on a number of Khatumo areas, killing a number of people in the process.
The contrast between the two peoples in the two countries towards their territorial unity could not also be so different. Unlike Somalia, whose people are the most homogenous in black Africa south of the Sahara, Ethiopia, my friend intoned, has over 70 diverse ethnic groups. And whatever else might divide them, they are all solidly behind their union apart from Somali and Oromo separatists. In the case of present day Somalia, its people couldn't care less about the union, secession or for that matter Somalia itself. It is the clan or personal interest that matters. He reminded me, rubbing it in, that even Khatumo's erstwhile partner, the Puntland administration under the freaky and fiendish Faroole, far from giving a hand to a brethren under attack, misses no opportunity to bring it down, sometimes in collusion with Somaliland. We were in one mind about our diagnosisbut he ventured no prescription for us in Khatumo at this stage.
Following my conversation with my Ogadeni friend, I persuaded myself that despite my forebodings, the president and his government could still hold surprises for us. Alas, I was only deluding myself as I got a rude awakening when I listened to the Prime Minister, Abdi Farah Saacid, emulating Ban Ki-Moon, and appealing to "both sides", without daring mentioning either, to "exercise maximum restraint" and stop the on-going "firing", as if the fighting related to disputes over water holes, camels, grazing or women! What an affront to the victims of Somaliland's invasion and occupation when their own Prime Minister does not dare to point a finger at the aggressor let alone demand, as it is his duty, that they stop the fighting, end their occupation and withdraw unconditionally from the SSC regions. Clearly, the president is simply following the footsteps of his boss, the president, that Somaliland presence and actions in Khatumo can not be publicly condemned. This is the second victory for Somaliland, this time from the head of the government of Somalia.
My Ogaden friend, not willing to let me off the hook, contacted me again, anticipating my shock with the Prime Minister's intervention. What he found mind-boggling, he told me, is why the Khatumo people in the face of these odds stacked against them, whether their government or people, are still beholden to Somalia and its unity? Would it not be more sensible, he demanded, to succumb to Somaliland's demands and save ourselves all these sacrifices and suffering?; or, if that is unpalatable and unthinkable, go our own way, as clan the calling itself Somaliland did, and declare our own separate Khatumo Republic?
Shunning to answer those radical options he suggested, I settled for a more non-committal answer and retorted that belonging to Somalia is the raison d'etre of our people, something inbred in their genes, and there is nothing much they can do about their gene make-up. But I assured him one thing: that the Khatumo people will prevail over Somaliland, whether it takes them one month, one year, ten years, or as long as it took them to fight the British. Perseverance and the will to win against all odds, I finally reminded him, is also in their genes.

Kingsport City Schools
Kingsport school board approves textbook adoptions
Rick Wagner • Updated Apr 15, 2019 at 12:47 PM
KINGSPORT — The Board of Education unanimously voted to do a blanket adoption of new textbooks for the cycle extending through 2026, including seventh grade social studies books adopted by Sullivan County's school board at its April 2 meeting despite public opposition.
The board voted 5-0 to approve the adoption of all textbooks, including the McGraw-Hill seventh grade "World" book that four Sullivan County board meeting public commenters and Sullivan County school board member Jane Thomas said did not treat Islam and Christianity correctly, although other members indicated that text and others on the list simply meet standards set by the Tennessee Board of Education.
Opponents complained that the McGraw text equated the Christian God with Allah of Islam and misrepresented both religions. Meanwhile, the Sullivan County school system has set a public viewing of the blanket textbook adoption from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday at the Akard Service Center, formerly Akard Elementary School, at 224 Mount Area Drive in Bristol.
Kingsport Superintendent Jeff Moorhouse after the vote said that it was unlikely many of the textbooks would be purchased, with Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Rhonda Stringham and Lamar Smith, supervisor of federal programs, saying digital resources were often used more than textbooks. No board members or members of the public questioned the Kingsport blanket adoption.
In other action, the board:
— Approved a professional services agreement for $6,500 with architect James Wright for architectural services for the partial roof replacement at Kennedy Elementary.
— Approved a professional services agreement for $24,500 with Wright for architectural services for the roof replacement at Robinson Middle School.
— Approved a Battelle for Kids master agreement and statement of work contracts for help with implementing the Portrait of a Graduate Program, with the contract for the latter costing $29,500 and the master agreement no charge.
— Approved, in an informal vote because a formal one was not needed, the KCS revised administrative procedures for the superintendent evaluation process to match the one the board just conducted on Moorhouse.

I was so sad to hear that Harmon Killebrew is entering hospice care after losing his fight to esophageal cancer. A good friend of mine died of it; it's nasty.
My first memory of Harmon Killebrew is my first iconic boyhood memory: It was my first ballgame with my father at the old Met Stadium. The Twins were hosting the Baltimore Orioles. We went with a neighbor and our seats were along the third base line, so our neighbor kept telling me to keep an eye on the great Orioles third baseman of the time, Brooks Robinson.
I remember fat men standing around on the concourse drinking beer and the smell of their thick cigar smoke. I remember Tony Oliva breaking a bat by pounding it on home plate after disagreeing with the umpire's called third strike.
In the bottom of the ninth the Twins were behind by a run. Harmon, in his last years as a Twin and relegated to DH duty, stepped up to bat to the thundering feet of the crowd, stomping in expectation.
Crack. The ball arched high across the sky down the third base line and settled into the upper-deck stands…just foul. Harmon ended up striking out and the Twins lost but I was astonished that a human being could hit the ball so hard and so far.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Harmon Killebrew but from afar he always came off as a kind and gentle man. Thank you, Harmon.


The idea of concept cars is quickly taking hold of the automobile industry. One of the first concept vehicles that hit the market in a big way, grabbing the attention of consumers everywhere, was the Chrysler PT Cruiser. One group of local PT enthusiasts, the Northwest Cruisers car club, got together on Saturday to exhibit their die-hard devotion to these retro rides.
About 45 cars were on display in the parking lot of Big Daddy's in the Lincoln Heights shopping center. There were stock-painted PT's with imaginative colors along with some custom jobs that really blew the doors off. But the focus for this car show was not just the cars themselves. For the past two years, Northwest Cruisers has put on this show as benefit for a local charity.
"This year we decided to get involved with the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery," said Tom Eikmeyer, a proud PT owner and Northwest Cruisers member. "One of our members volunteers for them, and we got involved because of the good things they do for kids that are very beneficial."
The show, sponsored by Spokane Chrysler and Big Daddy's, brought out not only car club members but also other PT owners along with just plain curious onlookers.
The event itself is an opportunity for club members to showcase their vehicles in between other activities that the club sponsors. For instance, Northwest Cruisers takes their vehicles on cruises all throughout the Northwest, going for drives to Montana and Oregon, as well the west side of the state. There are show-and-shine events that allow members to get a feel for some of the new custom accessories that are available for the PT Cruisers -- and even offer an opportunity to pick up a little hardware.
"We give awards for best in show, as well as best trunk display and other elements," said Eikmeyer. And what trunk displays they are. The PT has a perfect display spot when you open the back hatch door. This particular show featured displays ranging from a 1950s soda shop, to a gold rush motif, to a tribute to the fallen soldiers of our nation's armed forces.
The scene was impressive. Oldies tunes pumped from sound systems, passersby ogled the flashy and sleek Cruisers, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. By the looks of things, it was difficult to imagine this club has only been around for two years. And it was easy to see why everyone involved is so enthusiastic about the PT Cruisers.
"PT Cruisers are so well liked," Eikmeyer said. "The public likes to see them on the road, and they're not just nice to look at, they're very reliable cars. But they are eye-catchers, there's no doubt about that."
So far the Northwest Cruisers have gathered about 100 members into the club, and they are always picking up more. The club, truly a collective, has no officers: No one group is running the show. And PTs are for everyone -- so there's no age barrier, either.
Car clubs can be hit-and-miss, but the Northwest Cruisers are firing on all cylinders. "The members of this club are here because they love these cars," said Eikmeyer. But that's not all. As much as car clubs promote unity among enthusiasts of certain vehicles, this club has more to offer. Their community involvement is not only rewarding for the members but for the people and agencies of the community they cruise.

Q: Why is the Faraday tensor $F^{\mu\nu}$ antisymmetric? I was wondering if it follows from these relations
$$ a_{\mu}u^{\mu}=0 $$
$$ u_{\mu}u^{\mu}=-1 $$
$$ ma^{\mu}=F_{\mathbf{\nu}}^{\mu}u^{\nu} $$
That
$$ F^{\mu\nu}=-F^{\nu\mu}~? $$

A: The field-strength tensor $F_{\mu\nu}$ is in fact the curvature of the $U(1)$-valued connection, $A = A_\mu \mathrm dx^\mu$. In the special case of a one-dimensional Abelian Lie group, we have,
$$F = \mathrm dA = \frac{1}{2}(\partial_\mu A_\nu - \partial_\nu A_\mu)\mathrm dx^\mu \wedge \mathrm dx^\nu.$$
The anti-symmetry is explained by others by referring to physical arguments, but there is also the geometric one, as aforementioned, which you can learn more about in any book on forms.

A: The reason for the validity of $\:F^{\mu\nu} u_\mu u_\nu = 0\:$(1) for any  $\:u_\mu\:$ is that the electromagnetic force is a pure force,  where a force is called pure if it doesn't change the rest mass $\:m_{o}\:$ of  any particle moving with any (subluminal) velocity. This demand is equivalent to the Minkowski pseudo-orthogonality of  the electromagnetic force 4-vector $\:\mathbf{F}\:$ to any velocity 4-vector $\:\mathbf{U}$.(2)

(1)
derived by @knzhou in his comment

(2)
take a look in my answer therein : What does it mean that the electromagnetic tensor is anti-symmetric?.
