Q: Azure VSTS Builds with angular and Node I m doing a WebApp with Angular + AD B2C with Msal.js + Node + VsCode, so no web.config used.
So, i do a "build & Release" Definition in Vsts in this steps:

*

*npm install Angular CLI

*npm install

*run build

*Azure App Service Deploy

So far so good, but when i go to the page the manifest cant be fetch, throw this errors

*

*Uncaught (in promise) Error: Manifest fetch failed!
  at Driver.fetchLatestManifest

*/manifest.json 404 (Not Found)

*Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Unexpected token.

for what i look up is becouse the MIME Type of .json is not set by default. This also applies in general to any file that might need a specific MIME Type.
Link solution with Web.Config
But i dont have web.config becouse i dont use net.core.
The question is, how can i do this without web.config? or it must be configure in Azure Appserver side?

A: The web.config is needed, but it can be generated through Azure App Service Deploy task, also need to configure web.config parameters for Nodejs app.

*

*Select Azure App Service Deploy task

*Check Generate Web.config option in File Transforms & Variable Substitution Options section.

*Click … > Choose node as Application framework and specify NodeStartFile.

For MIME issue, you can update web.config file through Kudu console (https://{app service name}.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole), navigate to site\wwwroot, then click Edit Icon for web.config file to update it and Save.

Traditional black Karakul (Persian lamb) hat worn by shepherds in many countries, especially in Eastern Europe, Balkans, and Caucasus. Interestingly, French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin was one of the most famous persons to be pictured wearing such a hat. Handmade by top class hatters of real Astrakhan fur, this soft and cozy fur hat will keep your head warm in any weather. Height: approximately 9 7/8 inches (25 cm). Production time: up to 7 business days.


The Oscar race is on!
"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" is not only the year's best dark comedy, it's also the year's best movie. That is unless anything in these next few weeks were to beat it.
It's an R-rated comedy that holds the balance of fowl language and sympathy; and with a great cast, you really feel something, while you're laughing and appealed at the cursing. In fact, this movie doesn't give two sh*ts about the language.
Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) is the sheriff, who is dying of cancer, while assuring Mildred if he could, he'd catch the killer. Another cop hurt by this is the racist Jason Dixon (Sam Rockwell), who ends up fired for his behavior. There's also her son Robbie (Lucas Hedges, finding himself in another perfect movie), who gets harassed at school. And her ex-husband Charlie (John Hawkes), who is dating a 19-year-old girl (Samara Weaving), while criticizing her for her actions against the police.
Writer/producer/director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges," "Seven Psychopaths") has outdone himself with this one. Most R-rated comedies these days are so mean-spirited, and assume cursing too much is comical, while adding phony drama with bad acting. But not "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." This has great acting from McDormand, Harrelson, Rockwell, Hawkes, Caleb Landry Jones (as the awkward head of the adverting agency), and Peter Dinklage (as "The Town Dwarf").
There's pain in the characters, and the minute after the violence (just one painful dentist shot) and language occurs, you're understanding their feelings. You might be in question about the ending, but then again, you may not (depending on your examinations). All and all, I loved it.
Just watched this movie last night. Thought it was great. Don't know how they call it a comedy though??? Also, not the ending I was expecting. Now I want to see the Shape of Water.

Hermes, the leading financial services corporation in frontier emerging markets (FEM), announced that its Research Division has been named the top frontier research house and the second-best in the MENA region for the fourth consecutive year in the Institutional Investor Poll 2021. It was also ranked 7th in the Emerging EMEA space.
EFG Hermes analysts dominated the rankings, with five of the top 16 MENA analysts and three of the top five frontier analysts coming from the Firm.
Ahmed Shams El Din, EFG Hermes' Head of Research
"I'm incredibly proud of the work the team has put in to solidify our offerings, which has allowed us to garner global recognition and cement our rankings as the top FEM and MENA market research provider. This is especially impressive during a year when large bulge-bracket firms are turning their focus to the markets in which we operate," said Ahmed Shams El Din, EFG Hermes' Head of Research. "The accolades are a renewed vote of confidence in our ability to provide institutional investors around the world with unmatched local intelligence into these markets as we work to consistently hone and expand our coverage universe."
EFG Hermes' Research division is the region's leading provider of equity and strategy research products, offering an ever-expanding roster of retail and institutional clients with in-depth coverage of both MENA and FEM economies and companies. The division now covers over 300 stocks across 22 countries and has plans to continuously expand coverage. The division, which currently has on-the-ground presence in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kenya, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, was also a key driver of the Firm's IPO executions as ECM activity picked up across its markets during the year.
Mohamed Ebeid, Co-CEO of the Investment Bank at EFG Hermes
"This continued recognition from Institutional Investor is a testament to the strength of EFG Hermes' Research Division and their ability to provide world-class intelligence that has become indispensable to our FEM investors," said Mohamed Ebeid, Co-CEO of the Investment Bank at EFG Hermes. "A strong research division is one of the cornerstones of securing new listings and effectively marketing them to international institutional investors — and EFG Hermes Research has been involved in six new listings this year alone. With an already expansive pipeline of deals lined up in the coming period, we are confident that we have the expertise to provide clients with the quality advisory and research facilities they have come to expect of us."

Megan Beveridge (born ) is a Scottish soldier who became the first regular army, female "lone piper" at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The Lance Bombardier from Burntisland, in Fife was also the first female to pass the army's pipe major course. Aged 21, she is also the youngest person to date to have passed.

Early life and education
Beveridge started playing the bagpipes at the age of nine, after she was inspired by her sister Kerry-Ann who played in The Black Watch Cadets Pipes and Drums. She also played with the cadets as well as the Royal Burgh of Inverkeithing Pipe Band.

Army career
She joined the army after leaving school at the age of 16 and completed a year at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate. She is a member of 19th Regiment Royal Artillery, The Scottish Gunners. She chose the Gunners to improve her prospects as a piper. When she is not piping she is a Transport Junior non-commissioned officer, co-ordinating transport for the day-to-day running of the regiment.

Lone piper
In August 2016, she was chosen to take on the prestigious role of the Lone Piper at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. She played  the lament 'Sleep Dearie Sleep' on the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle to an 8,800-strong audience.

"It [piping] takes a bit of practice and you need quite a lot of patience - there's a technique to it," she told the BBC who chose her as one of their 100 Women in 2016.

Her ambition is to one day be appointed the Army's senior Pipe Major and eventually become the Sovereign's Piper.

Stand United Against Cancer
Cancer affects all of us in some way or another. The American Cancer Society projects 1,660,290 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year alone.
In conjunction with the care and support of a medical staff, cancer support resources and groups offer relief, comfort, and answers to patients. Support groups provide a platform to share and advise through the challenges of cancer. It's through personal stories, understanding, and willingness to aid in daily tasks that support groups succeed in strengthening a patient's emotional and physical wellbeing.
The benefits of joining a support group are numerous and include the trading of experiences and information, helping to deter isolation, lending a branch of hope, support, and encouragement, self-esteem enhancement, and offering a cost-effective course of assisting with cancer treatment. Research has shown that patients who become a part of a support group have a higher quality of life than those that do not.
Our area offers many outstanding cancer support resources.
The Danville Cancer Association (DCA) is a non-profit organization that receives its funding through help from the United Way as well as numerous local fundraising events. DCA provides support to area cancer patients by offering financial assistance to help with transportation, medication, and supply needs while the patients undergo treatment for their cancer. DCA also holds monthly support groups for cancer survivors.
Another excellent community resource is the Cancer Resource Center of Southern Virginia and The Office for Community Research and Education located at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research in Danville. The Cancer Resource Center of Southern Virginia was established in 2011 with a mission to facilitate the availability of local, state, and national cancer programs and resources to individuals living in the Dan River Region. The Center is an information hub of local cancer resources. "Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is devastating and life-changing. We are here to make a survivor's journey easier at any stage of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery," says Melanie Vaughn, who, along with Charlotte Litzenberg, are the Resource Center Coordinators. The Resource Center is part of an initiative through the VCU Massey Cancer Center and funded by a grant from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission.
The Wayles R. Harrison Memorial Fund is an independently funded entity that assists local cancer patients, in need, through financial assistance with prescriptions, medical supplies, and other needs as well.
The American Cancer Society has a local community branch in Martinsville. Many churches have faith-based cancer support programs as well.
Legacy Hospice of the Piedmont, Liberty Home Care & Hospice, Commonwealth Home Health & Hospice, and Hospice of Memorial Hospital in Martinsville provide group grief counseling services and do not require that a person have had any direct affiliation with the hospice agency. These grief support groups are generally open to anyone in the community who needs support.
Bettering Quality of Life Through Caring
The stress of transportation to doctor's appointments and treatments can weigh heavily on cancer patients and their caregivers. Services provided by the Cancer Resource Center and the Danville Cancer Association are available to help ease this burden. For example, the Cancer Resource Center has created a brochure that details all of the transportation services available to cancer patients in the Dan River Region. The Danville Cancer Association also has resources available to help with transportation for cancer patients.
Area support groups also provide a strong framework for patients, who may be reluctant to join a group out of fear of facing the everyday realities of cancer. But, in most cases, the opposite is true. Support groups work as a safety net. Cancer patients inevitably will have ups and downs. Along with their medical team and families, support groups are there to support and assist patients.
Individuals whose cancer is in remission can still gain value from support groups. Those finished with treatment who remain active in a group can receive the continued support of dealing with survivor issues as well as becoming a guide for those patients just beginning their journey to recovery.
A cancer diagnosis happens not only to the patient, but also their family and friends. The term survivor refers to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, from the day of the diagnosis, and their caregiver.
We are all in this together. We are survivors.

Q: Magento Mixpanel PHP Library How do I add new PHP lib from Mixpanel Analytics to Magento.
Here is the actual link to the library:
https://mixpanel.com/help/reference/php
Inside the github file I've downloaded there is a folder called lib, which I have renamed to Mixpanel and placed it within /lib folder in Magento - but will Magento autoload this or do I need to add a line of code such as:
require_once(Mage::getBaseDir('lib') . '/Mixpanel/MixpanelBase.php');

Part II
Now I need to import the data from the database for every event I have. See the DEMO: http://mpdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/import-old-signup-events-demo.php
In my file I have got the following:
class Mixpanel_Model_Observer extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract
{
public $token;
public $api_key;
public $host = 'http://api.mixpanel.com/';

public function __construct($token_string,$api_key) {
    $this->token = Mage::getStoreConfig('mixpanel_options/settings/mixpanel_token');
    $this->api_key = Mage::getStoreConfig('mixpanel_options/settings/mixpanel_api_key');
}

public function track($event, $properties = array()) {

    $params = array(
        'event' => $event,
        'properties' => $properties
        );
    if (!isset($params['properties']['token'])){
        $params['properties']['token'] = $this->token;
    }
    $url = $this->host . 'import/?data=' . base64_encode(json_encode($params)) . "&api_key=$this->api_key";
    exec("curl '" . $url . "' >/dev/null 2>&1 &");
}
}

Now I am not sure how to use this code to make it work with what I already have, and can this code run for all events or will I need to create this for all individual functions (instead of birthday I want to get data for login):
$metrics = new EventImporter("TOKEN_HERE","API_KEY_HERE");

foreach($users as $id=>$birthdate){
 $props = array();
 $props['distinct_id'] = $id; //distinct_id should be your identifier
 $props['time'] = strtotime($birthdate); //time should be their $birthdate
 $event = '$signup'; //you are sending the $signup event. You could also put $born here.
 echo "\nSending $event event for ".$props['distinct_id']." at $birthdate (".$props['time'].")\n";

 $metrics->track($event, $props);
}

This is the function I have for tracking login:
public function trackCustomerLogin($observer) {

    $this->track('customer_action', array('action'          => 'login',
                                          'distinct_id'     => $this->getCustomerIdentity()));
}

A: If you have renamed the lib folder to Mixpanel, then you should add that to the classes names as prefix:
Example:

class Base_MixpanelBase

will become:

class Mixpanel_Base_MixpanelBase

Then remove all of the require_once() calls by commenting them and don't forget to change all of the class names by adding the prefix: Mixpanel_ to their names, but don't change the file names.
This way you will follow the way Varien and Zend libraries are written and you can call the classes directly like this:

$mixPanelBase = new Mixpanel_Base_MixpanelBase($options);

without the require_once calls. Magento will take care of the autoloading.

A: The Magento autoloader will replace the underscores with slashes and add a .php to the end. i.e.:

*

*new Some_Class_Name -> require_once 'lib/Some/Class/Name.php'
If you extract the files directly into the lib folder you should be able to autoload Mixpanel classes, e.g. these files should be at

*

*/magento/lib/MixpanelBase.php

*/magento/lib/Base/MixpanelBase.php
etc.  Then you will be able to use $var = new MixpanelBase(); in Magento without using include statements.

Students Push to Remove Police. University President Doubles Down Instead.
Police investigate a report of shots fired near Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, on Thursday, March 14, 2018.

The Road to Abolition
Student movements have always raised our current conception of justice and equity. From the civil rights movement and Vietnam War protests, to the anti-apartheid movement and calls to abolish the police, student protests on college campuses have a context and history linked to substantial change in U.S. policies and practices. This is a rite of passage from which we all benefit.
So, it is perplexing that Northwestern University (NU) President Morton Schapiro fails to recognize this as NU students demand a different and better sense of campus safety in their demand to abolish the police, especially since NU students have established precedent for such movements on campus in the past. To be clear: Students don't seek to lessen "over-policing," a misnomer that pretends there is just a right amount of policing. Institutions will justify ways to pay for policing and divert funds from essential services to do so. Students are calling for the removal and defunding of police from campus entirely, as Northwestern's campus police represents the institutional force and violence characteristic of the style of policing inflicted upon communities across the country, now and throughout history.
In response to student protests connected to a June 3 petition calling to divest from police following the murder of George Floyd, Schapiro, on October 19, sent a university-wide email that centered his feelings, prioritized property over students, dangerously demonized students for "overstepping" and "menac[ing"] the surrounding communities, and blamed organizers for wanting to provoke campus police "into retaliation." He doubled down on use of police force by beckoning police in riot gear to line the streets of Evanston against protesting students, writing that he was "making it abundantly clear that you will be held accountable."
Through ongoing protests, students remain resolute in their actions to guide us toward reimagining and living in a world free of police. The response, unfortunately, has been to respond with more shows of police force. Reports emerged of Northwestern and Evanston Police Departments working alongside outside police groups on multiple nights of protests, most recently on October 31. University leadership and Mayor Steve Hagerty demonstrated they remain invested in policing despite how costly it is, as the mayor recently wrote in a letter to Schapiro reminding him that "hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime" have been spent and are owed to the city by the university. This is a reminder that exorbitant police budgets are part of the problem and will continue to be prioritized over the public's safety and well-being. Hagerty wrote, "Protesters are not helping their cause by putting officers' safety at risk, and defacing and damaging public property, ironically all in a city that, while still very much a work-in-progress, is the first in America to create a reparations fund." His statement harkens as if the city of Evanston is already helping Black people, so they should be thankful instead of asking for anything more.
As a result, those calling on Schapiro to be held accountable by either resigning or disbanding the NU police department include student organizers, African American Studies faculty, Jewish faculty and alumni, political science students, and Asian Studies and Latina and Latino Studies departments. This widespread support resonates with what students are asking for, which is a different and loving form of safety, health and well-being that is achieved through abolition.
People invested in policing may ask for an alternative: Recognize that policing doesn't do what you think it does to promote safety; it doesn't prevent harm and reactively targets people disproportionately to deepened harm. Tangible alternatives include diverting money from police to enhanced psychological care and support services for students; building and abiding by models of transformative justice on campus; and following and engaging in the extensive work of prison and police abolition to understand that abolition is not about tearing things down, but building one another up.
We know policing has negative health implications on young people, especially for Black people who are disproportionately affected.
We adhere to and promote the values of health equity and justice espoused by Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, and it is from this value set that we offer support for these student protesters. We know policing has negative health implications on young people, especially for Black people who are disproportionately affected. There are immediate and obvious negative health risks due to forcibly moving, restraining and beating people, be it individually or with collective state force. There is an additional (and lingering) assault on the mental well-being of students directly affected and living in the vicinity of students who suffer such treatment. This is true of all adverse childhood experiences that have been demonstrated to have lasting negative effects on overall health and well-being. As such, policing is a documented adverse childhood experience and thus a health equity issue.
I, Claudio Rivera, not only speak as a faculty member at NU but also speak from personal experience. I have lived and worked alongside communities in Chicago who have had to confront and endure chronic and collective trauma on a daily basis. My own personal experience with police as a Palestinian Latinx boy growing up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago provided me a firsthand intimate knowledge of the ongoing violence police inflicted on me and my surrounding communities. I vividly remember each instance of the 12 times during my adolescence and early adulthood the police pointed the barrel of their high-caliber guns at me. The young people I work with have taught me this form of state-sanctioned violence and trauma continues to be perpetuated by policing structures. The students at NU are reminding us again about this violent legacy and purpose of policing.
If we zoom out, we see that historical trauma caused by policing has a ripple effect whose waves spread out and wash over those in the proximity to it. Then as now, policing wields the power and resources of the state while claiming to be operating in the best interest of society. This assault on health and well-being has a generational and disproportionate impact on the communities on the receiving end of policing rendered as a form of occupation rather than protection.
Police force has precedent as a response to students, and one would think Schapiro is familiar with this. As a 1975 Hofstra University graduate, he was beginning college at a time when student protest was as strong as it is today, and when militarized responses were wielded against students on campus. For context, the police and military killing of students engaged in protest at Kent State University and Jackson State College (now University) happened in May of 1970, 11 days apart. It's safe to assume Schapiro engaged with those ideas then, and his refusal to do so now demonstrates a lifetime of opportunity lost to learn from students leading the charge for a safer and better university and world.
Ironically, universities will retroactively praise past examples of resistance by the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and even reframe their narrative as nonviolent, but chastise current student protesters.
More recently, University of Chicago students demanded defunding and disbanding the campus police department. Reports show approximately 90 percent of people stopped by campus police are Black. In 2018, a University of Chicago student was shot by campus police after damaging property while in the midst of a mental health episode. In August 2020, students led by the #CareNotCops and #UChicagoUnited campaigns led a multiday protest at the police department and in front of the provost's home. Police chose to intimidate and harass students by blocking access to food and water, and threatened to have students' belongings removed.
Ironically, universities will retroactively praise past examples of resistance by the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and even reframe their narrative as nonviolent, but chastise current student protesters. These institutions have an obligation to students to provide an equitable learning environment in which all students are given the opportunity to succeed.
When a historically white institution intentionally directs efforts toward recruitment of Black students, it is obligated to examine institutional structures that may inhibit learning. Instructors should examine course material, pedagogical techniques and course elements like office hours to ensure success. It is also necessary to examine structures within the university that may have seemed benign to a predominantly white student body but that are hostile to Black students.
Even without incident, police presence on campuses is not equally threatening to white and Black students. The perception of threat, even simply through the reminder of race, can significantly impact academic performance. A sense of autonomy and humanity is critical to effective construction of knowledge. For Black students, the dehumanization associated with a history of police brutality can undermine an otherwise productive learning environment.
When students speak out in protest, it is a radical act of love and progress. They are presciently living out in real time the better world we have yet to imagine but claim to want. Recent actions beg the question: Are we bold enough to embrace their love and live in a better world?

In vivo and in vitro antidiabetic studies of Pereskia bleo leaves
Ahmed, Qamar Uddin and Ahmad, Zulfadliza and Afrin, Mehnaz and Tunna, Tasnuva Sarwar and Ibrahim Apandi, Nur Amalina and Wan Zaini, Wan Norshakirah (2014) In vivo and in vitro antidiabetic studies of Pereskia bleo leaves. In: Diabetes Asia 2014 Conference, 16-19 Oct. 2014, Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre, Selangor, Malaysia.
Background review Since ancient times, plants have been used as natural agents to treat diseases particularly diabetes whose prevalence is increasing worldwide. Leaves of Pereskia bleo (Jarum Tujuh Bilah) are traditionally used to treat diabetes in many countries including Malaysia, however, no scientific claim exists in literature. Objective To investigate in vivo and in vitro antidiabetic activity of P. bleo with respect to understand its role in the management of diabetes. Methods Freeze dried aqueous (AQ) and ethanol (ETOH) extracts of the leaves were examined for in vivo antidiabetic activity (alloxan induced diabetic adult albino male rats of Sprague Dawley strain) and in vitro activity (inhibition of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase enzymes). Two doses (250 and 500 mg/kg body weight) of both extracts were administered orally to the normal and diabetic rats. The blood glucose level of the rats was measured by using glucometer at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h after administering both extracts. For in vitro method, the inhibitory activities of both extracts against α- amylase and α-glucosidase were evaluated at 5 different concentrations (i.e. 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 µg/ml). Toxicological study was also performed to know the safe nature of both extracts. Results and Conclusion The acute toxicity study revealed LD50 for the both AQ and ETOH extracts above 2500 mg/kg b.w. Both extracts exhibited a significant antihyperglycemic effect in diabetic rats after 24 h treatment of the extracts without showing hypoglycemic effect in normal rats. The highest blood glucose reduction (from 28.3 to 9.0 mmol/l) in diabetic rats was seen in ETOH extract at 250 mg/kg b.w. after 24 h. For in vitro antidiabetic study, both extracts showed high inhibitory activity against α-amylase. The highest inhibition (99.23%) was seen at 1000 µg/mL by AQ extract. On the other hand, AQ extract did not show inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and ETOH showed a moderate inhibition (15.46%) against α-glucosidase at 1000 µg/mL. The results from this study further justify the traditional claims of P. bleo in the management of diabetes in Malaysia.

In December 1991, The Republic of India was one of the first countries which recognized the Russian Federation as a state – «successor» of the former USSR, with which India has had diplomatic relations since the April 13, 1947.
For several decades the Soviet Union was providing to India significant financial and technical assistance, helping in the construction of large industrial enterprises, including steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, etc. In addition, the USSR supplied military equipment to India. Аs to the USSR, India was an important economic partner, which, on the one hand, was considered as an exporter of clothing, textiles, tea and other consumer goods, and on the other - as a kind of tool to spread the Soviet influence in the South Asian region.

MONGOLIA. NOMADS IN THE CITY by V.I.Terentyev, Post-graduate student. Gorno- Altayisk State University
Keywords: Mongolia, Ulan Bator, nomads, space, migration, ethnicity
The author analyzes the Mongolian's nomadic culture and specificity of its adaptation to urban conditions. The analysis is based upon of author's personal field observations. Moving to a permanent place of residence, to the capital of Mongolia - Ulan Bator - yesterday's nomads bring with them ideological and personal stereotypes.
He studies the nomads' ways of understanding urban space and the ways they develop a new orientation system. Nowadays they find themselves in a cramped city (in terms of a nomad) and that makes them to refuse from the former sub-ethnic identity in favor of nationwide one.

Keywords: USA, Russia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, the Ukrainian crisis, double standards, Islam, Buddhism
Dramatic events in Ukraine clearly demonstrate double standards of the United States and its allies in politics, as it was in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yugoslavia. Unceremonious American intervention under the pretext of defending democracy leads to destabilization, division and bloodshed which finally resulted everywhere in the so called «controlled chaos». The Western countries continue to play the «Islamic card». In recent years, the West began to talk a lot about the persecution of Muslims in Buddhist countries which is ostensibly taking place in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand.
Foreign Expert's Opinion
CHANGE OR CONTINUITY? POLITICAL TRANSITION AND DEMOCRACY IN KENYA by Dr. Alice J.Kurgat, Prof. Leonard S.Mulongo, Patrick M.Kerre. Moi University (Kenya)
Keywords: Kenya, legitimacy, political transition, democracy
This article attempts to investigate and analyze challenges and prospects facing Kenya in its quest for democratization and construction of a viable state and cohesive society. Kenya before the post-2007 general election was viewed as an oasis of peace in a turbulent region, a situation that was enabled by stalled political transitions that never before turned to widespread violence.
Transitional politics in Kenya have been deeply polarized along regional and more prominently ethnic lines. The questions this article is seeking to investigate are: what impact has the political systems and the civil society had in promoting the values of compromise conciliation, consensus building and tolerance in an ethnically polarized society. Has the civil society been partisan or neutral to ethnic interests? How and when do civil societies become engaged in politics? Can it be an integrative force in nation (state) building?

Yoruba is one of the largest nationalities in Nigeria. Its music has a number of important functions in the social and political life of society. For centuries, it was playing an important role as means of transmitting information and traditional culture. In the country where the average age of the citizens is 19 years, the basic structure of the electorate are young people who are receptive to the views of their music idols.
The presidential election of 2011 and active participation of musicians in those elections, indicates that the status of the musician has a special significance in political life and politics.
GENDER INEQUALITY IN COUNTRIES OF SUBSAHARIAN AFRICA by N.V.Grishina, PhD (History). Institute for African Studies, RAS
Keywords: Africa, gender inequality, social problems, education, health service
The article gives a characteristic of unequal access of persons of different gender to education and health services in some African countries. It is important to note that gender inequality exists in most spheres of life in modern Africa, exerting negative influence upon the social development as well as the political landscape and the economic growth. It is also underlined that female education is a key factor not only in terms of development personality, but also in terms of eliminating of poverty.
The gender inequality affects seriously not only Millenium Development Goal 3 (MDG-3), which poses the objective of eliminating gender inequality in education, but also MDG-4 (children's health) and MDG-5 (mothers' health). In African countries which had, before the crisis of 2008, problems related to high rates of child mortality and a low level of female education, women and girls face the most serious consequences of economic shocks.

Special attention is given to tools and techniques used by journalists to create an attractive image of the country and its inhabitants.
MUSEUMS IN JAPAN AS A NEW SOCIAL SPACE by M.P.Gerasimova, PhD (Philology). Institute of Oriental Studies, RAS
Keywords: museum, exhibition, collection, art, artistry, a social space
The museum institution in Japan has a relatively short history - first museums here were established only in the second half of the XIX century. The reason for this can be found in the peculiarities of the national worldview, due to which there was no the precondition for the formation of collections, which in Western countries usually became the basis for the creation of museums.
In Japan with its well-established hierarchical system and regulated relations between people of different classes it was extremely important, because it contributed to the establishment of a new type of relationship between people regardless of their origin or social status on the basis of common interests.

Q: Supabase bucket - new row violates row-level security policy for table "objects" i am having an issue with uploading avatars to my supabase bucket as its giving me "new row violates row-level security policy for table "objects"". I tried other StackOverflow solutions and nothing.
Before trying to upload I log in using supabse so my user is authenticated yet its still not letting me upload. I added this policy in storage.objects:
(role() = 'authenticated'::text) and clicked the insert button. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I assume its something to do with the policies. Thanks
this is how I'm trying to upload my avatar:
try{
                const { data, error } = await supabase
                    .storage
                    .from('/public/avatars')
                    .upload(`${values.email}.png`, values.avatar, {
                        cacheControl: '3600',
                        upsert: true
                });
                if(error) throw error;
            }catch(error){
                console.log(error);
            }

A: add new policy and enjoy :)
Because upsert need DELETE and UPDATE

A: I'm guessing you have a bucket named public with a folder named avatars, correct?
In that case you would upload as follows:
const avatarFile = event.target.files[0]
const { data, error } = await supabase
  .storage
  .from('public')
  .upload(`avatars/avatar1.png`, avatarFile, {
    cacheControl: '3600',
    upsert: false
  })

Nuccaleena Formation, South Australia - Testing Models for Post glacial Deposition of 'Cap Dolostone'
The glacial deposits that are associated with the younger Cryogenian ice age are consistently draped over by carbonate sequences that are sedimentologically and geochemically distinctive. The authors1 suggest at least the lower portion of the cap sequence records deglaciation, as is implied by ice-rafted debris in the basal dolostone. Cap dolostones have been suggested by an isochronous model to have been synchronously deposited around the world, whatever the depth of the water, while it is suggested by a diachronous model that the deposition of cap dolostones tracked glacioeustatic flooding at times of deglaciation. In the Adelaide Rift Complex (ARC), South Australia, the Nuccaleena Formation has many sedimentary unique features that have been seen in other cap dolostones from around the world from the younger Cryogenian. Oscillatory flow that is driven by the wind has produced some bedforms, which constrains the deposition of dolostone of less than 400 m to post-glacial times. It is suggested by the lack of these sedimentary features in the deepest basinal facies of the northern ARC, that this region was beneath the base of storm waves, even at the lowstand of the glacial sea level. There is a distinct relationship between the variability of the lateral facies in the pre-, syn-, and post-glacial sediments and the axes of the 50 m scale structural folds. Basinal facies characterise the limbs of the northern fold, and upper fold facies are associated with the southern limbs. The abrupt transition of the facies have been interpreted by the authors1 to reflect breaks from the lower slope to upper slope/shelf across a series of linked, south-facing half-grabens. Monotonic declines in δ13C of less than 2‰, with starting points between -0.5 and -3.5‰ are shown in the carbon isotope records of the majority of cap dolostones. An about 3‰ lateral gradient from platform to lower slope, that varies dramatically on a short spatial scale and with palaeobathymety, non-systematically, is implied by an isochronous model. The values of δ13C become progressively lighter over time, if palaeobathymety is inferred by the use of pre- and syn-glacial facies, and there is diachronous deposition of cap dolostones as the sea level rises at times of deglaciation, it implies that the deposition of cap dolostone tracked the glacioeustatic rise in sea level over a series of half-grabens opening to the north. Uniquely isochronous or diachronous models cannot be ruled out by the carbon isotope dataset, and the temperature cannot be the dominant control on the cap dolostone isotopic variability.
