Parking on Campus
These Rules and Regulations were written under the auspices of The University of the West Indies, Campus Registrar and form part of the University Administrative Code.
The operation and parking of a motor vehicle on The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus is a privilege granted by the University.
The following measures were introduced in the University's attempt to provide staff, students and visitors with parking on the Campus fairly and equitably.
STUDENT AND VISITOR PARKING
Parking facilities for both students and visitors are available at the TGR North and South Car Parks, situated along the western perimeter of the University compound, at the northern and southern ends respectively.
Additionally, the Heart Ease car Park, situated on Wooding Drive, just north of The UWI Sport and Physical Education Centre (SPEC) west gate, and the JFK East Car Park, situated at the southern end of the University compound, east of the South Gate and south of the JFK Food Court, are reserved for parking by students with valid UWI Parking Permits only.
Student Parking Permits are issued annually in Semester 1 of each academic year and are valid through July 31 of the same academic year. Permits should be requested from the Campus Security Services Department at the beginning of Semester 1. It is the responsibility of the student to apply for the relevant permit.
The security personnel on duty at the entrance to the TGR North Car Park issue Parking Cards to persons upon entry, which must be returned to the security personnel upon exit. Should the Parking Card be lost, the cost of replacement is twenty-five dollars ($25.00).
Students and visitors are permitted to park in other car parks on the Main Campus on:
Weekdays (between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. only).
SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR the TGR North CAR PARK
A shuttle service is provided to convey students and visitors using the TGR North Car Park to and from the JFK Underpass (up to 7:30pm) or the Student Activity Centre (after 7:30pm).
After parking their vehicles, students and visitors should proceed through the pedestrian gate at the car park shuttle stop shelter and board the shuttle at the pick-up point in front of the shelter.
The shuttle runs every ten (10) minutes from 6:30 a.m. until the last stop at 8:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
No fare is charged for the shuttle service. However students must show their student I.D. Cards and visitors must show a Parking Card in order to board the shuttle
Designated car parks/parking lots on the Main Campus, unless otherwise indicated, are provided for staff members' vehicles.
Parking facilities for Executive members of the Guild of Students, Ministers of Government, Diplomats, handicapped persons, retired senior staff members and persons with appointments are also clearly identified.
Commercial Outlets
Limited reserved bays are available to operators of commercial outlets on the Main Campus. Appropriately marked vendor, delivery or commercial vehicles engaged in official business with UWI may be permitted to go about that business without obtaining a permit. The vehicle, however, must be clearly and permanently marked on both sides.
Except for vehicles owned by The University of the West Indies and medical students who are "on call", no vehicle should be parked in any of UWI's garages/parking lots for more than 24 hours at a time. This includes motorcycle parking.
The Director of Security is responsible for the issuing of all Parking Permits.
Parking Permits are not only required for parking, if available, but also for permission to use the roads within the UWI compound. Parking Permits authorize the persons to whom, and the vehicles for which, they are issued to drive on the campus and to park in designated parking areas, if there is space available.
Limited parking is available on a first come first, first serve basis. Therefore possession of a Parking Permit does not guarantee the availability of a parking space.
Issuing of Parking Permits
Parking Permits are issued annually from Semester 1 of each academic year and are valid through July 31 of the same academic year.
Types of Parking Permits
There are five (5) types of parking permits
Student Permit
Staff Permit
Temporary Staff Permit
Handicapped Permit
Suppliers Permit
RESPONSIBILITIES OF VEHICLE OWNERS/OPERATORS
It is the responsibility of all owners/operators of vehicles to apply for and display a valid parking permit on the vehicle's front windscreen/ dashboard. Vehicles not properly displaying valid parking permits are subject to penalties for parking violations.

K B Goel Archives
Subramanyan, a teacher of artists, who invented a personal narrative in miniature format.
K.G. Subramanyan, whose works in miniature format (done on primed paper in gouache) are displayed at the Centre for Contemporary Art, is a teacher of artists; a status no painter can claim since the death of Nandalal Bose.
After Bose, only Subramanyan assumed the role of teacher and savant whose influence on the art scene of the seventies and eighties is comparable to that of Bose's during the thirties and early forties. It will be adequate to draw a parallel in terms of the symbolic equation between these two teacher-savants.
Today Subramanyan has become the true symbol of the postmodern condition, the symbolic equation between the role of a savant and the uncertainties that engulf him as a painter. In the context of Nineties, this is seen in constant translation of the truth embodied in the symbol. And the theory of the symbol implies as much: as a constant translation the symbol, read as a representation of the unconscious, implicates a static model, for there is a constant drive towards identification of the sources of the unconscious with the symbol. This is the kind or identification Dora had to go through during analysis by Freud and suffered much because identification with the analyst obstructed her emotional progress.
Perhaps Subramanyan did not suffer the way Dora suffered, because he had a similar relationship with Nandalal Bose, his teacher at Shantiniketan. He was saved because his identification was not total and hence he could cut out the process of infinite substitutions by replacing the need for the subconscious symbol by another idea. He split the symbol from within and became free from the schema's powerful set of conventions.
Modernism undermined his links with the symbolic order as represented by Shantiniketan; that view of modernism which was very much about the unintelligibility of experience as it was actually felt to occur. He embraced the implied insecurity of modernism; a more recent response to this insecurity has been christened 'postmodernism' because modernism failed in its attempts at devising a total aesthetic erasure of the symbolic. The postmodern exists in the real time of experience, which is open-ended and basically incomplete; it believes in the manifest intelligibility of surfaces.
Subramanyan admits as much: "As you grow old, the world grows over you, becoming more precious. Its open face is its own mystery. You need not seek it within." For, according to him, the fact of it being a mystery is the fable. Which is to say that claims of originality are as much a fiction as the origin of this earth- originality conceived as an absolute beginning the moment before which nothing happened?
"The common is not so common. It is a simple enough vision, but it reconciles the near and the far. You cannot catch it with a standard sleight of hand." says Subramanyan. So he is given to inventing devices. This long background is necessary in order to understand the devised technique of this great devisor. The works displayed provide an eloquent insight into the grammar of post-modernism, for, according to the artist, who identifies modernism with "that push towards purism that sense of creative exclusiveness or starting on a clean slate... the great wave of modernism is over." The slate was never as clean as modernism claims it was. For, as Subramanyan says, "What you do is never so novel except at the time of doing", because at the end of the process one meets only anxiety, the fear that what one has done might have been done already by others.
The sources of the anxiety are this; it is the same self that one falls back upon, the same sources of creativity. What is different are the moments of transition, the temporal reorganization of the past experience. A self that has identified itself with the present looks at the past as a work of memory. The present is always a source of anxiety, the awareness of being in a condition of instability, the past, a source of stability.
The stability-instability syndrome has its fable-like weave in the mid-life crisis, of which the ideal representation is Samuel Beckett's career. A way out of the crisis situation for him was to resort to autobiographical writing. The reading of the past became, in the new mode, a method for achieving stability in the present. Reading and writing became a correlated activity, a form of dialogue between two versions of the authorial self. Like Beckett, for whom reading meant considering or explaining something obscure or mysterious, Subramanyan looked at the works constituting his tradition. He re-appropriated them through interpretation into his work. For him, art is seen as a form of dialogue between two authorial selves. With the overarching mental faculty of imagination mediating between them, re-appropriation of the old master and assimilation of him into his work are now not two activities but an interdependent one. We call this inter-dialogue the mediation between an earlier and a later self; and the four works, all of them called Homage to Mansur are the product of this inter-dialogue.
The inter-dialogue with an old master gives to these paintings a historical dimension. The results are pleasantly eccentric, but they open up a new episteme in the Foucaldian sense of the term. Subramanyan is attracted to Mansur, the Persian painter who came to India at the invitation of Emperor Jehangir.
"I want to bring together the icon and the real thing," says Subramanyan drawing attention to two references. Mansur is denotative of the painter who came to Jehangir's court; his work is identified with naturalistic painting which he first introduced in India. The iconic reference is about the denotative form of naturalism. This is the subject of Subramanyan's paintings on the Mansur theme.
The Mansur paintings are acts of erasure and yet the historical iconological reference remains. For, the functional essence of an icon is that it should be interpretable on the basis of recognitional abilities alone.
Acrobat, another painting by him, illustrates this well; we could recognise Picasso and the acrobats in the picture. The historical reference is obvious; Picasso painted several pictures on the theme of acrobats and circus clowns before he arrived at Cubism.
Similarly he presents three versions of the short story, 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi.' While in the Mansur paintings the central focus is erasure of naturalism, in Shatranj Ke Khiladi the focus is on the degree of cultural relativity and decadence one associates with the game. The decadence weaves itself into images with a life of their own but the mode of narration used is to make the miniaturist context explicit-the mode of metonymy sets up an interaction between part and whole.
What appears composed in one self-interior is decomposed or re-composed in another.
The strategy is to delay the progress of metonymy by a long detour; the quest becomes a labyrinth, for it is about somethingwhich does not exist in the referential outside world. The narration seeks to invalidate any insight into a personal past, for the quest is for a subject-oriented intention which is the source of personal presence. It focuses attention on the act of painting and the picture disappears behind its non-referential signifiers. This is because for Subramanyan there is no finished picture that would imply both the end of the project and the last word that can be said about it.
The work thus remains in process, unfinished, tentative. It refuses to realise its full meaning because with every correction, the final erasure draws nearer. The surrealists had a similar project; they sought to destroy the distinction between art and reality and they thought they had succeeded in their mission. As a final gesture they turned the process of destruction against surrealism itself. Subramanyan, I am sure has no such surrealistic ambitions but his art comes close to a neo-surrealistic aspect of post-modernism.

In our drama, Francisco, a soldier of 16th century Spanish imperialism, comes to value truth above blind obedience. The creative team of Francisco dedicate the Gold Medal for Best Drama Special in the New York Festival of World's Best Radio Programs to Chelsea Manning.
– Actors Jaimie Carswell, Sorcha Fox [also involved in Truthfest], Darina Gallagher and Des Braiden, composer/musicians Dee Armstrong, Rossa Ó Snodaigh, Colm O Snodaigh and Seanan Brennan, sound supervisor Ray Duffy, and writer/director Donal O'Kelly.
Writer, director and producer of Francisco, Donal O'Kelly has said:
I don't know if it's a first ever, but it's certainly a rare event for a drama serial to win both a Prix Europa in Berlin and a Gold Medal at the New York Radio Festival, the two most prestigious radio drama awards in the world. We are all very pleased to dedicate our New York gold medal to jailed US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning, whose brave advocacy of truth is an example to us all.
Francisco De Cuellar, a Spanish Armada captain, wrote an account of his Irish experiences through the harsh winter of 1588-89. The radio music-drama serial is inspired by this letter, and is a mixture of narration, music, rhythm, dialogue in four languages (English, Irish, Spanish and Latin), performed poetry, a wide-ranging soundscape and a subversive epic storyline.
You can listen to the three part play here (Click on the picture).
Here at the Manning Family Fund and WISE Up, we are very grateful for all the wonderful support shown towards Chelsea and her family; this ranges from financial donations to help the family with travel costs, to solidarity actions and events that keep Chelsea's name and cause alive and resonating in the public's mind.
So, big thanks to the Francisco team for this moving and important dedication. Pictured below: Sorcha Fox, one of the lead actors in the play, displays a banner on a bridge in Haverfordwest during Truthfest.

/**
 * ActiveQuery represents a query associated with an Active Record class.
 *
 * An ActiveQuery can be a normal query or be used in a relational context.
 *
 * ActiveQuery instances are usually created by [[ActiveRecord::find()]].
 * Relational queries are created by [[ActiveRecord::hasOne()]] and [[ActiveRecord::hasMany()]].
 *
 * Normal Query
 * ------------
 *
 * ActiveQuery mainly provides the following methods to retrieve the query results:
 *
 * - [[one()]]: returns a single record populated with the first row of data.
 * - [[all()]]: returns all records based on the query results.
 * - [[count()]]: returns the number of records.
 * - [[sum()]]: returns the sum over the specified column.
 * - [[average()]]: returns the average over the specified column.
 * - [[min()]]: returns the min over the specified column.
 * - [[max()]]: returns the max over the specified column.
 * - [[scalar()]]: returns the value of the first column in the first row of the query result.
 * - [[exists()]]: returns a value indicating whether the query result has data or not.
 *
 * You can use query methods, such as [[where()]], [[limit()]] and [[orderBy()]] to customize the query options.
 *
 * ActiveQuery also provides the following additional query options:
 *
 * - [[with()]]: list of relations that this query should be performed with.
 * - [[indexBy()]]: the name of the column by which the query result should be indexed.
 * - [[asArray()]]: whether to return each record as an array.
 *
 * These options can be configured using methods of the same name. For example:
 *
 * ```php
 * $customers = Customer::find()->with('orders')->asArray()->all();
 * ```
 *
 * Relational query
 * ----------------
 *
 * In relational context ActiveQuery represents a relation between two Active Record classes.
 *
 * Relational ActiveQuery instances are usually created by calling [[ActiveRecord::hasOne()]] and
 * [[ActiveRecord::hasMany()]]. An Active Record class declares a relation by defining
 * a getter method which calls one of the above methods and returns the created ActiveQuery object.
 *
 * A relation is specified by [[link]] which represents the association between columns
 * of different tables; and the multiplicity of the relation is indicated by [[multiple]].
 *
 * If a relation involves a junction table, it may be specified by [[via()]].
 * This methods may only be called in a relational context. Same is true for [[inverseOf()]], which
 * marks a relation as inverse of another relation.

LiveAsIf.org - Word from Scotland - How Do We Answer Those Enquiring About Our Christian Faith?
More people may want to know about how you became a Christian than you realise.
How do we give satisfactory answers to those who say that the Christian Life is dull and boring, or restricting and limiting? In other words, how do we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that is relevant and meaningful to those who may be enquiring?
Our answers may depend upon the reality of our experience of the risen and living Jesus. How were you 'born again'? Can you share your testimony of Christ in a way that speaks to the enquirer?
How did those stalwart disciples in the early Church of Jesus Christ act and behave and speak? This is where we have to know our Bible – the Word of God. People want facts and not fragile feelings.
They were ashamed at times of their unfaithfulness – and perhaps puzzled – think of the two men on the Road to Emmaus – Ananias in Damascus – Peter before going to the home of the Roman Centurion, Cornelius. There is a reality here which we may wish to avoid.
Deuteronomy 33 verse 29 - "Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord?" That verse speaks of Israel – but has also much to say to us who are disciples of Jesus Christ, the King of Israel and the King of Kings.
The Christian Life is harder than any other, and we may not always want to share that reality with those who are enquiring. Jesus told His men that from the very start – if any man would come after me – let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
It is more than signing your name – accepting a creed – going along to a building now and again – and praying occasionally or getting someone else to pray for you.
And very few people have grasped the crucial significance and importance of the local Church – if you lived in Corinth, you did not worship in Athens!
It is becoming harder in the western world – harder than 30 or 40 years ago – I know that to be true. People have lost their jobs – or been overlooked for promotion – or ostracised by neighbours and families – and in various other lands, imprisoned and martyred.
O, it is possible to take a great bouquet of flowery language – and an armful of fine sounding phrases – and camouflage the cross.
We must never sentimentalise the Christian Faith, nor make the name of Jesus sweet or sickly.
The real Christian life is not easy, nor soft, nor sentimental.
And when it comes to morality Jesus is most challenging – and when it comes to duty Jesus commands us to go the second mile.
If any young person wants an easy passage through life, then it would be as well for that person to shut the New Testament – and yet, sometimes the difficulty and challenge of the task can be its most magnetic appeal.
For adventure and life that will stretch you – this is where it can be discovered.
Jesus can put 'mettle' in a person's life – and Jesus goes on putting 'mettle' in a person's life – along with forgiveness and mercy and love and power.
This life in Christ is a holy life. There is no need to go to Jerusalem or anywhere else, (although there is nothing wrong in that) to live a holy life. Go to God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit, and keep being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Holy – means set apart for God – separate from sin – inner health – and wholeness in Christ, and from Christ – disciplined and balanced – with an integrated personality.
We hear much about 'life balance' today – Jesus Christ is the perfect one to correct any imbalance.
Only Jesus Christ can deal with deep inner conflicts and the discords that make people want to cause havoc and destruction – is this not the moral side of being holy?
Jesus is the Great Physician, and he alone can produce this kind of vital health.
He gives you a goal as he calls you and he provides that life with power to enable you to fulfil that goal.
It is a combination of Seek first the kingdom of God – and – I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
That troubled man whose name was Legion, certainly knew the truth of this, as he was set free, and clothed, and in his right mind.
This life in Christ also gives you HOPE – as it deals with what is troubling you – and that darkness – and that sin – and that wondering what life is all about – and it challenges any lies with truth.
We have seen how Jesus bequeathed His peace to His disciples.
He gives you peace – but also forgiveness for sin and forgiveness for the past and hope for the future – mercy – grace – healing – strength – My Spirit – love, joy, peace – and balance – and the ability to be holy in the sight of God.

What The Hell Is The Hopewell Fund?
Diana Moskovitz
Photo: Tim Bradbury/Getty Images
The NFL PR playbook is so obvious at this point that it's shocking the league's executives are still impressed by the idea: When people get upset, throw money at the problem.
This being the NFL, that money will have strings attached. Perhaps the money will go to a borderline useless organization that's barely fighting breast cancer. Or perhaps the NFL will try to use its money to convince researchers that brain injuries caused by playing football aren't really that bad. Or maybe it will employ a sham "fiscal sponsor" that doesn't really do anything except tweet and rarely make PSAs.
Now into that inglorious pantheon comes the Hopewell Fund. The name first came up near the bottom of an ESPN report on the latest offer made to the Players Coalition hopes of, in turn, getting players to stop protesting during the national anthem. It's a deal that, by design, gives the league a lot of control over the "charitable contributions," which is no surprise given its history.
The NFL's Proposal To End Anthem Protests Gives The League All The Power
The Players Coalition, the group of about 40 NFL players who have been negotiating with the league…
Per ESPN, the agreement is to give 25 percent of the national fund—which is separate from the money contributed by owners and by players—to the United Negro College Fund, 25 percent to Dream Corps, and the other 50 percent to the Players Coalition. But the Players Coalition isn't a real charity, and the report goes on to add that it has "filed 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) paperwork for nonprofit status as a fiscally sponsored project." That project will then be overseen and advised by the Hopewell Fund.
Despite what ESPN wrote, it's important to start with this—a fiscally sponsored project is not a charity. It's a project that is overseen by another 501(c)(3) organization—think of it as a project housed within a charity. It's also what the No More sham was when the NFL signed on with it. One of the most important distinctions is that they do not file public tax returns. They are not charities.
The Hopewell Fund is the charity here. As a nonprofit, it does have public 501(c)(3) tax returns on file, but in this case they won't tell you much—the organization has existed only since 2015, and so just one set of tax documents is readily available. There are two copies online of the organization's tax returns for that year—one on its website, another from the document gathered by the Foundation Center. The documents are mostly the same, although in some places the descriptions vary slightly and on a few pages different types of information are available. I will be using the one provided by the Foundation Center, and I'll note when I'm using the slightly differently formatted one from its website.
Here's the opening from the public copy, written as if to pack in as many PR-crafted buzzwords as possible. (The description did not have periods, so I've added them where they seemed necessary for clarity.)
The Hopewell Fund specializes in helping social/corporate entrepreneurs and other changemakers launch new, innovative social change projects. Hopewell is designed to facilitate rapid & efficient launches of well-resourced projects with diverse revenue & funding models, including charitable contributions and investments. Many of Hopewell's projects employ bold and ambitious strategies to achieve the impact they seek. Hopewell is managed by a team of experts with experience in starting up innovative organizations. They project streamlined operations and financial support and compliance oversight to minimize administrative burdens for project donors and staff.
I have no clue what any of that means.
The documents say that the fund has more than $6 million in net assets, but it only spent less than $1 million in its first year.
Nowhere in the returns does it say where the money came from; the copy from its own website does include a sheet listing donations but leaves out any names.
As for where the money was spent, two projects are listed under "service accomplishments."
I have no clue what any of that means either.
As for the fund's employees, there are three listed, and in 2015 they weren't paid.
Who did get paid in 2015? Something called Arabella Consulting Services. It got paid $170,953 for "management services." Let's go down that rabbit hole.
The name comes up again in a disclosure regarding "business transactions involving interested persons." The same Eric Kessler also is a part of Arabella Advisors, LLC. Apparently, the Hopewell Fund has an "administrative services agreement" with Arabella Advisors, per its tax return.
Further down, it mentions the arrangement with Arabella, again, and that another organization, the New Venture Fund, does the payroll.
So the Hopewell Fund is basically run by Arabella, which then has the New Venture Fund pay the salaries. Got it. The New Venture Fund's website says it is nonprofit but is managed "under an administrative agreement with Arabella Advisors." The documents say that in 2016 NVF gave a big chunk of money—$13,167,207—to Arabella Advisors for "management services."
So what in the hell is Arabella Advisors? It is, according to its website, "a team of passionate problem solvers dedicated to helping clients make a difference on the issues that matter most to them." OK, still no clue what any of that means.
Arabella Advisors is a corporation, which means there are no public tax records and it more than likely turns a profit. It calls itself a "Certified B Corporation," which basically means an outside nonprofit has certified it as being not a total corporate monster. Ben & Jerry's is one, and so is Patagonia. The concept got a nice writeup in the New Yorker back in 2014.
But things get messy here. Back in 2016, SiliconBeat's reporting on the secretive Campaign for Accountability, best known for taking on Google, led them to the Hopewell Fund, Arabella, and the New Venture Fund, and the three were again intertwined with no clear explanation. From their report:
On Wednesday, the Campaign for Accountability's Stevens emailed SiliconBeat to say, "Campaign for Accountability is incorrectly identified as a project of New Venture Fund." Arabella, which provides administrative support to the Campaign for Accountability, had mistakenly sent an NVF tax receipt for SiliconBeat's donation, Stevens said. "We are a project of Hopewell Fund, a different non-profit organization," Stevens said.
However, NVF president Lee Bodner said Wednesday that his organization had created Hopewell Fund last year, and although it was an "independent" organization, its staff were still NVF employees and paid by NVF until Hopewell got up to speed.
Bodner said it was up to officials from each Hopewell project to decide whether to disclose funding sources. Hopewell runs its own projects with different donors from those who give to NVF, and the Gates and Hewlett foundations are not Hopewell donors, Bodner said.
Bodner is one of three Hopewell directors. Another is Arabella CEO Sampriti Ganguli. The third is Michael Slaby.
The SiliconBeat report doesn't mention Eric Kessler, but his bio from Arrabella's website provides some bits of information. He founded Arabella, is passionate about food (well, "the food sector," according to the bio), is chairman of the New Venture Fund, serves as a trustee of his own family's foundation (described as holding "assets generated by the sale of a fifth-generation family-owned business"), and started out as a "field director for the League of Conservation Voters." Kessler later worked on "conservation issues during the Clinton Administration." In short, he sounds nothing like the type of person I expect to be at the forefront of fighting police brutality and racial injustice in this country which, you might have forgotten, is why the NFL players are taking a damn knee in the first place. But this is what you get when you do business with the NFL. The NFL was always going to try and co-opt this, it was only a question of exactly when, and how, and for what final amount.
Correction (10:46 p.m. ET): This post originally reported that Kessler's bio said he worked on conservative issues in the Clinton administration. Kessler's bio says that he worked on conservation issues.

Q: Maximal number of boxes packed in a sequence Hello Stack Overflow community!
I've been trying to come up with an algorithm that takes n boxes as input with unknown dimensions for width, height and depth and outputs the maximal number of these boxes that can be packed in a sequence. In order to pack a box into another a box needs to have a smaller width, lenght and depth. You can also tilt the boxes in any way you want in order to make them fit. However they must be axis aligned.
I thought i had come up with a solution where I sorted all boxes on volume and then tried to pack every box in a sequence in a fashion similiar to selection sort, but selection "pack" i guess. In which i tried to pack the box with the lowest dimension into the next one that is larger, etc. Then i tried the second box and tried to pack all those who were larger. Anyway I'm stuck and would really appreciate some help!
Great thanks!

News Singapore Premier League • July 7, 2021
Sailors, Geylang miss out on AFC Cup 2021 due to ASEAN Zone cancellation
Matheus Moresche of Geylang International and Naqiuddin Eunos of Lions City Sailors during their league encounter, 11 April 2021
SINGAPORE, 7 JULY 2021 – There will be no continental competition action for the Lion City Sailors and Geylang International this season after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed earlier today the cancellation of the AFC Cup 2021 ASEAN Zone.
The two AIA Singapore Premier League (SPL) clubs had been slated to participate in the tournament as Singapore's representatives this year, with the Sailors in Group H and Geylang in Group I. Singapore had also been chosen as the centralised venue for matches in both groups, but were forced to withdraw in late May as the fluid COVID-19 situation regionally made the inbound travel challenging for the overseas participating teams.
In a statement to participating Member Associations with representative clubs in the AFC Cup 2021 ASEAN Zone – namely Groups G, H and I – and the Playoffs (ASEAN), AFC noted that they had made "utmost efforts over recent months" for the aforementioned matches to take place.
Club news: Geylang – Noor to focus on league | Sailors – Sailors' AFC Cup hopes dashed by cancellation
The AFC added: "Regrettably, however, due to the lack of hosts (including neutral venues within and even outside the concerned Zone) for these Groups and Playoffs matches, it has been decided that matches in the above Groups and Playoffs shall be cancelled."
It is further noted by the AFC that the Knockout Stage Central, West and Inter Zone single-leg ties will continue to be staged as planned.
The Sailors and Geylang will now look forward to resuming their SPL campaign later this month; fixtures are available at www.spl.sg/fixtures.


BROKEN ARROW, Okla. -- A Broken Arrow woman is barely alive after a dog mauled her and almost ripped her arm off.
You won't see beneath the bandages.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, it's really true," Vicki Fritzer said.
But Fritzer has a vivid memory.
"I just remember flesh ripping," she said.
11 days ago, Fritzer slipped on a pile of leaves outside her house. Seconds later, a family member's dog pounced.
"He just kept ripping and chewing my arms and I put them up in like defense mode to protect my face," Fritzer said.
She crawled inside and screamed for help.
"My granddaughter heard me screaming and she came out there and got a knife and just started stabbing him, and it was because of her that I'm really alive today," Fritzer said. "She really saved my life."
Fritzer's 15-year-old granddaughter was the dog's next target, biting her on both arms. But she was able to rush through a fence to the neighbor's house.
"I just kind of rolled over and played like I was dead and he was preoccupied with the blood in the laundry room and then they got me out of there," Fritzer said.
The grandmother was rushed to the hospital and into emergency surgery.
"I lost a lot of blood and you could just kind of feel the life going out from underneath you," Fritzer said.
Tuesday flowers and balloons fill the Saint Francis hospital room.
"I don't know what would have caused him to do that," the grandmother said. "It was just so vicious."
Fritzer is learning a lot from her physicians.
"Doctors have been sharing stories with me of all kinds of breeds that have just turned on family members for no reason," she said.
A skin graft is expected Monday, until then Fritzer turns to proverbs and believes having a merry heart is like medicine.

Virginia A. Stout Hotchkiss
By Tammy Schlingmann on Fri, 05/17/2019 - 16:59
BURLINGAME — Virginia A. Stout Hotchkiss, 87, Burlingame, died peacefully Thursday, May 16, 2019, surrounded by love.
Virginia was born June 30, 1931 in Burlingame, to Henson Rozelle Stout and Marjorie Lucille Workman Stout. She fought valiantly to come into this world, being a double breach home birth, and fought just as valiantly leaving this world.
Virginia grew up in Burlingame surrounded by a large extended family of farmers, the Workmans and the Stouts. As an adult, she would frequently 'go for rides' throughout the countryside to show her children and grandchildren where she grew up and share stories of her adventures with her siblings [which may have included painting window frames red], both of whom she adored.
She attended one-room country schools through the eighth grade and she delighted in telling people that she was the top student in her grade, because she was the only student in her grade. She then attended Burlingame High School and graduated at the top of her class as valedictorian. She could not wait to go to the town school and her very first year there, she met the love of her life, Darrel Hotchkiss. Theirs was a love story for the ages and they were devoted to each other wholly for 74-years.
After high school, Virginia worked in Topeka at Alcohol Beverage Control before marrying Darrel on August 12, 1950 in a small, intimate wedding at the Federated Church in Burlingame. They lived in Denver, Colo. for a year where Darrel was stationed with the Air Force. While there, she worked at Wright McGill as a secretary. She treasured her time in Colorado, but her heart was in Burlingame and she often hopped on a train to come home for the weekends.
It was no surprise they returned to Burlingame to build their life. Virginia raised her family there with Darrel steadfastly by her side. After Darrel's retirement, she spent the next 30-years exploring the country with her love, often traveling with friends or family.
Virginia was the kindest soul a person could ever know. She had the bluest of eyes, as bright as the sky, and those kind, blue eyes could warm a room and wash away all your fears. She loved unconditionally and fiercely. There was nothing more important than her family and there is nothing she would not do for any of them. Her greatest gift to them was teaching them how to love.
Her greatest joys were her husband, four children, nine grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren and they all loved her beyond measure. She could always be found sitting in the stands at their sporting events or in the audience at any performance. Even as her memory was being stolen, she knew her babies and lit up when they ran through the door.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents and a grandson, Larry Smart Jr.
She is survived by her beloved husband Darrel, son Alan and wife, Rose Hotchkiss, Houston, Texas; daughters Karen and husband, Larry Smart, Burlingame, Donna and husband, Terry Maple, Topeka, and Penny Hotchkiss, Lawrence; grandchildren Nichole Hotchkiss Kuehner and Brent Hotchkiss, Christopher Smart and Bryan Smart, Amy Maple Clark and Ashlee Maple McIntosh, Clint Turner, Zachary Boehm and Stefani Boehm; great-grandchildren Andrew and Bryce Kuehner, JR and JD Kirby, Lillian, Madison, and Kimberlyn Smart, Keaton and Sebastian Clark, Austin, Samantha, Alexander and Alivia McIntosh, Maiya Galloway, Jaxon Turner and Omri Boehm; sister Helen Lamoureux, brother Dale Stout and a step-brother Cliff Bruner.
As per her wishes, Virginia was cremated. A graveside service will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 22, at Burlingame Cemetery. Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, at Carey Funeral Home. Virginia requested any memorial contributions be made to the Burlingame Historical Society and sent in care of the funeral home, P.O. Box 196, Burlingame, KS 66413.

Let's plot an energy scenario ambitious enough for the climate emergency
Amy Cortese
ImpactAlpha, Oct. 16 – The International Energy Agency's annual 'gold standard' World Energy Outlook, used by policymakers, investors and business leaders, was published this week. What set energy wonks buzzing is the inclusion, for the first time, of a 'Net-Zero' scenario for 2050, and a roadmap for what needs to happen to get there.
But the IEA's scenarios are still too conservative, says Kingsmill Bond of CarbonTracker. Even oil giant's BP's updated scenarios are more realistic.
CarbonTracker last year helped organize investors and scientists to send a letter to the IEA's Fatih Birol urging the agency to produce more realistic and ambitious scenarios that keep warming below 2 degrees celsius from pre-industrial levels, as the Paris Agreement calls for.
The IEA has heeded those calls with this year's forecast. It dropped an "unrealistic" baseline scenario and now focused on a 'stated policies' scenario, or STEPS, that models announced commitments and efforts. The scenario gives the benefit of the doubt to pledges and policies, such as the 'nationally determined contributions' submitted under the Paris Agreement. STEPS assumes an economic recovery kicks in next year; a variation forecasts the effects of a delayed recovery on energy demand.
The IEA's other main scenario, a sustainable development scenario, or "SDS," assumes "a near-term surge of investment in clean energy technologies over the next ten years" that gets closer to meeting Paris goals.
Bond credits the IEA with acknowledging "that we hit peak fossil fuel demand in 2019" in three of the four scenarios. And this year's report recognizes the scale of the energy transition underway. But even its sustainable scenarios are not aggressive enough, Bond says. Solar costs are falling, and deployment rising, faster than the IEA projects.
His point: Setting an even more aggressive strategy would make the Net-Zero scenario seem modest, not radical.
ImpactAlpha tapped Bond to help dissect the 400+ page World Energy Outlook – and makes suggestions for revision.
Underestimating solar growth. The IEA declared solar energy the "king of renewable energy." That was partly driven by a more accurate calculation of its average lifetime costs, known as levelized cost of energy, or LCOE in industry jargon, which IEA now says are half of what it calculated in 2019. Still, the IEA's 'STEPS' scenario only increases forecast 2040 solar capacity by 16% from last year's forecasts, notes Bond.
The nuance: The IEA relies on a "value-adjusted" version of LCOE known as VALCOE that dings solar for its intermittency with big unexplained cost jumps in the future. The use of the measure favors fossil fuel-generated energy. "The detailed assumptions behind this black box are not explained," says Bond. The IEA "has no credibility when looking into the future of solar costs and deployment."
Overestimating solar costs. Solar costs have been steeply dropping by 18% a year since 2010. IEA forecasts a massive slow-down in the rate of cost declines to just 2% a year in the period to 2040, notes Bond. "This is simply not credible," says Bond, pointing to the work of Doyne Farmer at Oxford University that suggests that the cost declines of renewable energy technologies are very consistent.
Underestimating solar deployments. The overstating of costs leads to an understating of demand in IEA's scenarios. "The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of solar in the 2019-2040 period is just 9%," notes Bond, "for a technology that is growing at 20% a year."
China wildcard. In September, China's President Xi Jinping surprised world leaders by committing to net-zero by 2060. That is not incorporated into the IEA's baseline 'STEPS' scenario. "This is not unreasonable as the announcement from President Xi was only recent," says Bond, "but it highlights the point that the 'SDS' scenario is likely to be a more realistic view of the future than the 'STEPS.'"
The future is closer than you think. "IEA's sustainable development scenario is still presented as a very ambitious – and thus unlikely – scenario," says Bond. For example, the Outlook notes that solar installations would need to increase from 108 GW in 2019 to 280 GW in 2030 under the sustainable scenario, casting that as an ambitious target. Yet, it represents just a 9% compound annual growth rate, says Bond, far lower than the 20% to 25% rates solar has enjoyed in the past.
Fanciful fossil fuel pricing. The STEPS scenario presents a "super-bullish" pricing environment for oil incumbents, says Bond. The baseline forecasts oil prices in 2040 at $85 per barrel. (BP, by contrast, dropped its long term oil price assumptions from an average of $75 a barrel to $55 through 2050). The IEA's price assumptions are "totally fanciful in light of the falling price of renewable alternatives," says Bond.
Looking ahead. The Stated Policies, or STEPS scenario, is a reflection of where we are headed under business-as-usual. It is less useful for markets, which value what is likely. The sustainable development scenario, or SDS, is closer to reality, as financial markets and key governments recognize, says Bond. "It's time to make this the central scenario."
