Darfur clashes displace thousands
Dec 7, 2021 | Featured Story, Press Release
UNHCR staff assess the needs of people impacted by inter-communal violence in Jebel Moon, West Darfur. © UNHCR/John Mwate
This is a summary of what was said by Toby Harward, UNHCR Principal Situation Coordinator for Darfur – to whom quoted text may be attributed – at today's press briefing at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is deeply concerned about escalating violence in Sudan's Darfur region, which has displaced thousands of people since November, including across the border into Chad.
Nearly 10,000 have fled a wave of intercommunal violence in the Jebel Moon locality of West Darfur State. Over 2,000 of them, mostly women and children, have sought refuge in neighbouring Chad.
During an assessment mission to Jebel Moon last week, UNHCR and partners delivered emergency shelter to 1,600 newly displaced families as well as other lifesaving supplies including jerricans, plastic sheets, blankets, sleeping matts, kitchen set, and mosquito nets.
Tensions remain high in Jebel Moon and violent incidents have occurred in the past few days in other West Darfur localities, including in El Geneina on 5 December.
Our teams are also receiving alarming reports from other parts of Darfur about the destruction of villages, sexual violence, and the rustling of livestock. UNHCR is concerned that with the frequency of such attacks increasing, the humanitarian situation in the region will worsen.
The ongoing violence, coupled with a poor rainy season and pest infestation, has also disrupted the farming season across Darfur. Displaced farmers have told UNHCR staff that they are worried about a total failure of their harvest, raising further concerns about food security.
With a growing number of civilians at risk, UNHCR and partners are meeting with State authorities and community leaders to discuss the deteriorating security situation, ensure safe access to all affected areas, and strengthen the coordination of the humanitarian response.
In Chad, new arrivals have found refuge in five locations near the border. They are in urgent need of food, water, and shelter. UNHCR is working with the authorities and our partners to provide them with emergency assistance. Chad hosts 520,000 refugees, 70 per cent of whom are from Sudan.
Sudan has some 3 million internally displaced people, with more than 80 per cent living in the five Darfur States. In 2021, over 200 incidents of violence have been reported in that region, leading to new displacement.

Leeds City Council is supporting a campaign by West Yorkshire Police to tackle and provide support to victims of domestic violence during the football World Cup, following a rise in the number of cases reported before and after games during previous major tournaments.
During the 2010 World Cup there was a 22.5% increase (an additional 179 incidents) reported in Leeds between the dates of England games and the comparable days of the previous month. This was mirrored during the 2012 European Championships as despite an overall reduction in the number of reports compared to 2010, there was still an increase in cases when England played.
A key element of this year's campaign during the World Cup will focus on raising public awareness of services available to help victims and potential perpetrators, whilst also setting out the ramifications to anyone with a history of domestic violence if they are thinking of again engaging in this type of act. This will be undertaken by partners through the distribution of posters and information leaflets, use of internet sites, media releases, Facebook and Twitter.
With England's opening group game against Italy kicking-off at 11pm (14 June), 8pm against Uruguay (19 June) and 5pm v Costa Rica (24 June), potential negative consequences of binge drinking before, during and after each match will also be clearly spelt out. Research has shown that alcohol abuse can contribute to increased levels of domestic violence.
This work will sit aside a tough zero tolerance policy by West Yorkshire Police, who will be delivering a range of initiatives through the month-long operation that will include dedicated patrols in and around town centres and extra resources being made available to respond to domestic violence incidents. The police have also given an undertaking to use the full powers at their disposal, including the effective use of new Domestic Violence Protection Orders that allow a court to ban a perpetrator from a residence with immediate effect and prevent them returning for up to 28 days.
In any emergency, please ring West Yorkshire Police on 999, or for further help and advice call 101.
Provided by the Safer Leeds Partnership, there is also a 24 hours a day Leeds Domestic Violence Service (LDVS) phone line that offers confidential support and advice from trained staff for all victims of abuse aged 16 or older. The Leeds Domestic Violence Service can be contacted on: (0113) 2460401.
"Tackling domestic violence remains a key priority for Safer Leeds, and as part of our work we are supporting this campaign by West Yorkshire Police which is aiming to significantly reduce the number of cases we have seen during previous major international football tournaments.
"This will be done by raising public awareness, and also setting out clearly to a would-be perpetrator or anyone with a history of domestic violence, the tough action that will be taken by the police if they abuse a partner or family member.
"The vast majority of people who drink do not become violent or abusive, but we want to deal with the times when it may be a factor in domestic violence cases. We will also be highlighting once again the range of services available in Leeds to victims, where they can be guaranteed support by fully trained staff that will always listen, never judge and offer the very best practical advice and support."
"The simple message will be that if you offend, you will be arrested and prosecuted. We have new powers available such as Domestic Violence Protection Orders and additional resources; we are determined to use them to protect victims, prevent offences and prosecute offenders."
Callers can be guaranteed ringing the 24 hours a day Leeds Domestic Violence Service (LDVS) phone line that they will be listened to and treated with dignity and respect and can be offered access to further services depending on their needs. This could include being provided with a number to call for additional help or being signposted for face to face support. Depending on personal circumstances, a place in a refuge may also be offered but at no time will pressure be put on any caller to leave their partner or home if they are unsure or do not want to.
A number of drop in-sessions ware held three times a week at venues in the city centre. Funded by the NHS and delivered by Leeds Women Aid, a wide range of advice, support and signposting to specialist services is available. For more details, please ring LDVS: 0113 246 0401 or 07776 228196.
The Safer Leeds Partnership is also responsible for overseeing enquiries which are made as part of new legislation entitled 'Clare's Law', which enables people to ask police if their partner has a history of domestic violence. The partnership uses a multi-agency approach to respond to women and/or their relatives who enquire about the past domestic violence offences if they are concerned the person may cause harm to a partner.
Six Clare's Law applications have, to date, been discussed since February 2014 by the partnership, and as part of this work, a pro-active approach has been taken to inform partners about previous offences as well as offering support. Details and further information around Clare's Law can be requested at the following email address: leeds.safeguarding@westyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or by telephone: 0113 2414180.

International poet visits, shares personal story of overcoming past abuses

Cynthia Jowers, an international poet known as X Blu Rayne, said writing poetry heals her body and soul. At the event Let Her Speak on March 29, Rayne reflected on her life and loving herself.
The Webster Gospel Choir hosted Let Her Speak in the Thompson Music Building Recital Hall. The event was in celebration of Women's History Month.
"Blu's story is so powerful. She's a single mother of six children from the ages 16 to 2, a poet and author," Steward Stiles III, junior music education major and choir director, said. "She makes her passion, which is poetry, her business. And she is truly the victor after surviving homelessness and abuse."
When Rayne was five years old, she was kidnapped and raped while living in Longview, Texas.
"That day I lost my innocence, but I lost my trust (too)," Rayne said. "I couldn't say my rapist's name for 20 years. And for a long time I didn't trust anyone, especially men. I won't let hardly anyone touch me. Mostly, for a long time, I couldn't love myself. "
She discovered her talent for poetry when she was 12.
"When I was in school, my teacher would have us write poetry," Rayne said. "And my teacher saw I had talent. But when I got older, writing my feelings on paper helped me heal from my own pain."
In later years, Rayne worked as a makeup artist and a mother of five children from previous relationships. She soon met a man, whom she had a sixth child with and was supposed to marry. But in June 2009 Rayne looked at her fiancé's Facebook page and learned that he had left her for someone else, leaving her and her children homeless.
"He was the one I leaned on and he left me with a newborn baby. I wanted to die, but I couldn't. I had six children to think about and if it wasn't for my children keeping me going I don't know what I would do," Rayne said.
From June 2009 to December 2010, Rayne and her children lived in a hotel. In December 2009 she performed spoken word poetry for the first time at the House of Comedy. She recited her poem "Confidence Kicked in."
"After performing, that was when I found my calling and my breakthrough," Rayne said. "I realized that poetry was my life and that I needed to express it, find out who I was to heal and love myself."
Then, she and her children moved in with a friend. Rayne founded Spoken Word Addicts Unleashed (S.W.A.U.) — a movement for spoken word artists and poets to express themselves. S.W.A.U. has since been turned into a magazine.
"The reason it's a magazine is because one, I love to read and two, it allows poets to get their work published," Rayne said.
Rayne said it was a miracle that she and her children had moved into their own house in 2011.
"I thank God that I'm not homeless and that I'm doing what I love full time, and that is writing poetry," Rayne said.
Rayne said writing about her problems has helped her heal. Through her work, she has been able to help others also. She has been a full-time poet and spoken word artist for three years. She has released several books including "Blu Life" and "Rayne for Growth."
Rayne has traveled around the world performing spoken word in countries including Belgium.
"Going overseas, I realized there was a whole world out there, besides St. Louis and I want to travel more," Rayne said.
Currently, Rayne is working on a radio station where poets can read their work on the air. She is also writing a play and two books.
Rayne said she is happy with her life and career.
"It took me 30 years to heal and poetry has done that," Rayne said. "But mostly with poetry, I learned who I was. I learned to love myself, but mostly I learned to love my children. I didn't start loving my children until two years ago. My 16-year-old son just got his mother."
Rayne explained she doesn't write her poetry for her fans or fame, and that her children remain her inspiration in everything she does.
Rayne said the message that she wants people to get out of her life story and poems is to, "Get out. You have a dream or a passion just do it. Whatever circumstance you're in right now it's the start of the greatness in you."

Xi Jinping has successfully consolidated his power
He may attempt to maintain his grip on power past a second term
If he is successful, he will prioritize ideology over economics
If he has to compromise, he will turn to the military and Maoist rhetoric
President Xi Jinping is both China's strongest leader in a generation and its most vulnerable. After consolidating power during his first five-year term, which ends this autumn, he may now attempt to change the rules to allow himself to remain in office for a third term. But Mr. Xi must be careful to avoid the accusation of building a personality cult, which could prove fatal to his leadership – particularly if it comes at a time of economic weakness. In late 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will meet. The most important task of this assembly will be to set the country's course for the next five years, in terms of both personnel and policy.

Military corruption crackdown strengthens Xi
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) was, until recently, held up as a paragon of virtue in China, but that changed when President Xi Jinping came to power. By 2016, his anti-graft campaign had resulted in 46 senior military officers facing corruption charges. The campaign shows no sign of stopping. The ...

Xi's power plays will determine China's future
Chinese President Xi Jinping is consolidating power at a strikingly effective rate. His anticorruption drive has not only managed to gain him popularity, he has also used it to eliminate political opponents. But his success raises questions about what direction he plans to take China and whether he intends to ...
China's soft power challenges
China, which lags behind the United States militarily and has only recently attained significant economic clout, has long coveted soft power to help it achieve foreign policy objectives. Despite Beijing's hefty investment in expanding the country's soft power, its ability to achieve objectives in the West using such tools remains ...


As a business owner, you are well aware of how precious a commodity time is. With so much to be done, it is vital to streamline all processes to overcome unnecessary time sinks. The easiest way to achieve this? Let technology lend you a helping hand.
Here's how you can use tech to optimize and perform large and vital operations, leaving you free to focus on other areas of your business or simply allow you to rest easier at the end of the day.
Comment Sold Comment Selling has become an extremely trendy and effective way to sell. However, it's left many businesses wondering how to keep up with the manual invoicing that's required to make it successful.
Manual invoicing is one of the most time-consuming undertakings you'll encounter as a business owner. Using software to automate your invoices will accomplish a handful of time-saving tasks that are associated with the entire invoicing process.
Firstly, gathering the data to make an accurately tallied invoice is a laborious practice. Auto-invoicing software can harvest comments to compile an itemized invoice that is perfectly calculated, so neither you or your customer have to eat incorrect costs.
Secondly, because of the accuracy that automated invoices provide, you'll never have to spend countless hours trying to fix the mess of human error. You can also skip consoling disgruntled customers when they received an incorrect tally on their invoices since that will no longer be an issue.
Furthermore, auto-invoicing substantially decreases cart abandonment rates. Instead of wasting your time chasing payments, you can rely on software to cart the items and send an instantaneous invoice for them. These invoices contain an easy way to check out. Timely invoices lead to timely payments.
Cart expirations are another feature that can further decrease cart abandonment. If the claimed items are not paid for after a certain period, they can go to the next person that's willing to pay. The software maintains these waitlists, so no time is squandered convincing customers to pay or cross-checking databases to see who is next in line for the product.
The many hassles of manual inventory management can also be eliminated with the help of software. Imagine the time you could save if you didn't have to conduct regular inventory counts, look for lost inventory, sync multiple databases to ensure proper fulfillment and waitlist maintenance, and nullify the inevitable human error that comes with it.
Inventory management software will provide an accurate picture of what inventory is coming in and what is going out with real-time data. Efficiency is lost without an understanding of inventory volume, where that inventory is being sold (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, website, or app), where it is in every step of the intake and fulfillment, and what is being returned.
Software can generate bird's eye view of all this inventory information, which will assist in forecasting expected demand, helping you to recognize what sells well, what doesn't, and make quick and informed inventory purchasing decisions based on that knowledge.
When new inventory is procured, you'll need to document where it physically resides in your workspace. Whether you are a large business with a warehouse or you are a small business selling out of your home, you will need to track item locations or risk going on a goose chase trying to find misplaced items. Technology makes this process easier and keeps this documentation all in one, orderly place visible to you and your staff.
Analytic reporting can provide rich insights that help save time by taking the guesswork out of many operations across your business. On top of automating invoices and inventory management, your software will automatically be collecting and reporting on data picked up along the way.
Reports can help create financial snapshots that assist with auditing, preparing for taxes, and creating quarterly cash flow statements. Additionally, they can show you your highest and lowest selling products and detect profit margins on each item so you can understand your return on investment.
Customer's buying habits are also invaluable information that can also be tracked and displayed through analytic reporting. How often they buy, what channels they buy from, what your target demographics are, and peak buying times are all valuable metrics to drive effective business strategy instead of wasting time, energy, and money advertising blindly.
Cross-checking databases is a huge time killer with an enormous risk of human error. It should be eliminated altogether with the help of technology. Reduce the time-consuming effort to manage multiple selling channels by choosing an all-in-one system to manage invoices, inventory, and to compile data analytics for each channel in one central hub.
With the right software, you'll be able to integrate each channel into a business dashboard where you can access all invoices, view all inventory, understand channel selling performance, see combined data analytics, and discover your most loyal shoppers across all channels.
Every day we use technology to make our personal lives a little easier. Why not bring the benefits of it to your business? With the use of digital tools, you can optimize or altogether eliminate time-costly tasks that steal focus away from other areas of your business and personal life. Technology can help you save hours of inessential effort, especially when you use one that can do it seamlessly across multiple platforms.

Why Cardiovascular Disease
Verve Therapeutics Secures $94 Million in Series B Financing to Advance Pipeline of Gene Editing Medicines for Cardiovascular Disease
Proceeds Support Advancement of VERVE-101 toward Clinical Initiation in 2022
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — January 19, 2021 — Verve Therapeutics, a biotech company pioneering gene editing medicines to treat cardiovascular disease, today announced the successful completion of a $94 million Series B financing, led by Wellington Management Company and co-led by Casdin Capital, existing investors. New investors in the raise included Redmile Group, Janus Henderson Investors, Cormorant Asset Management, Rock Springs Capital, Novo Holdings A/S, Logos Capital, Surveyor Capital (a Citadel company), RA Capital Management, and a U.S.-based, healthcare-focused fund, alongside additional existing investors GV and Biomatics.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance the company's pipeline of gene editing medicines, led by VERVE-101, and further extend its scientific and technical leadership. Verve is developing VERVE-101, comprised of a messenger RNA for adenine base editing and a guide RNA for PCSK9 gene targeting, packaged in a lipid nanoparticle delivery vehicle, for the initial treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), a potentially fatal genetic heart disease.
"Over the last year, we made significant progress toward our bold vision of eradicating coronary heart disease, most recently supported by compelling non-human primate data, which validate in vivo liver base editing as a once-and-done approach to lower LDL cholesterol and treat coronary heart disease," said Sekar Kathiresan, M.D., chief executive officer of Verve. "We are grateful for the level of support by this well-regarded group of investors, which is a testament to the potential of our gene editing approach and pipeline. This funding will help advance VERVE-101 into clinical development, drive our earlier programs forward and provide necessary resources to achieve our mission so that we may impact the lives of as many people as possible."
VERVE-101's advancement is supported by recently announced proof-of-concept data in non-human primates. Those data demonstrate that a one-time intravenous administration of a gene editing treatment leads to in vivo ("in the body") liver DNA editing with a single A to G spelling change, shutting down the production of the PCSK9 protein and resulting in substantial lowering of blood LDL cholesterol. VERVE-101 is in IND-enabling studies, and the company plans to initiate clinical development in patients with HeFH in 2022.
"Verve is an incredibly exciting company with the technology, insights and capabilities to translate world-class research into an entirely new approach to addressing cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide," said Eli Casdin, chief investment officer and founder of Casdin Capital. "Investing in the people behind transformative life sciences companies like Verve is at the core of Casdin Capital, and we could not be prouder to further support the Verve team and help accelerate the next stage of the company's growth."
About Verve Therapeutics
Verve Therapeutics is a biotechnology company created with a singular focus: to protect the world from heart disease. Founded by world-leading experts in cardiovascular medicine, human genetics and gene editing, the company aims to develop transformative, once-and-done therapies for coronary heart disease. Verve's gene editing medicines are designed to safely edit the genome of adults and mimic naturally occurring gene variants to permanently lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The company is advancing a pipeline of precision genetic medicines, led by VERVE-101, which is being developed initially for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a potentially fatal genetic heart disease.

Minecraft Legends Shapes Up To Be A Real Treat, Marching To PS5, PS4 In April
Subscribe to push square on the YouTube
Few franchises have the tolerance and compatibility of Minecraft. Case in point: Minecraft Legends shares a lot of touchstones with the mainline series, like its sense of humor and artistic art design, but it looks like it might have the chops to be a super fun competitive strategy game in its own right.
We've got a few new trailers today, some more gameplay (above) and a look at the titles PVP mode (below), which should prove enticing to the more strategically minded. Fought on procedurally generated battle maps, players will lead battalions of blocky little blocks into battle, and cooperation is key. Resources are shared across an entire team, so winning will require careful coordination and can be used to create effective fortifications.
Interestingly, the somewhat menacing Piglins, who serve as antagonists in the single-player campaign, will be present in multiplayer and act as a kind of wild card to liven things up, attacking both sides. will and add an element of uncertainty to the equation.
We also got a release date, too. Minecraft Legends marches to PS5 and PS4 on April 18. What do you think of what we've seen so far? Make a reply in the comments section below.

You can enter a string, word or clause, or search the text using regular expressions.
The engine does not do full-text search. It simply scans Streitberg's readings verse by verse and tries to match strings, across word boundaries. In other words, if you look for etun 'they ate', you'll also get fretun 'they devoured' and praufetuns 'prophets' – unless you select one of the word-based matching modes, or use regular expression syntax to anchor search patterns manually.
You may enter the thorn and hwair characters directly, if you can, or substitute c resp. v for them. How hwair is shown in the results depends on the display configuration. You can select interlinear translations, if you want.
This is a first version. There are some limitations.
\W matches any non-word character, i.e. punctuation, witespace etc.
(a|b)+ matches one or more times a or b, i.e. any combination a, b, aa, bb, ab, abba, etc. ad infinitum.
There are many more things you can do. Have a look at this comprehensive overview if you want to know the details. Below are a few examples to get you started.
Most of the examples operate in default matching mode and use \b or \w to simulate word-based searches. Alternatively, you can select a word-based matching mode and simply enter the word pattern you want to find in words, or at the start or end of words.
Matches atta, attan, attin and attins.
Matches singular case forms of liuhaþ.
The same, but with initial word boundary, excluding gahlaibaim.
Matches words that end in aza, e.g. passive verb forms.
Demonstrative pronoun (or article) nominative singular.
Matches clusters of 4 consonants or more.
Finds in + dative pronoun + any word that is at least 3 characters long.
Finds text deleted by Streitberg.
Finds text added by Streitberg.
Finds words that show enclisis and/or assimilation (marked with ~).
Finds repeated words. Literally, the expression reads 'one or more word characters between word boundaries, captured as a group, followed by one or more occurrences of space followed by the first captured string between word boundaries'.
Matches words starting with miþ excluding miþþ-.
Note the use of [^þ\W] (literally: any character that is not þ and not a not-word-char) as a somewhat quirky way to say any word character except þ.
Matches reduplicating verb forms with optional prefixes (resulting in some false positives, e.g. taitrarkes).
Finds words that have ⟨w⟩ between consonants, i.e. when it represents Greek ⟨υ⟩, as in swnagogei, but excluding -ggw- in triggws and -wj- in manwjan e.a.
_ underscore marks a gap in a word, e.g. . . . . _teins þis balsanis warþ?
As mentioned above, you may substitute c for þ and v for ƕ (hwair).
The engine will abort when a query takes too long. We have to set a limit to protect the server against denial of service attacks with maliciously crafted expressions. (Because of the way regular expression matching works, foul expressions could literally run for days.) If you get a warning, try to use a more simple or alternative expression.
Similarly, queries that yield many results (e.g. looking for a single letter or any word) may be refused or truncated. Given the small size of the corpus, we prefer to have all results at once, without paging. (This is convenient when you want to copy/paste results.) But there are better ways to download the entire text than entering an expression that returns every line in the Gothic bible.
Last but not least: this is a beta version. There may be unexpected glitches. Drop a note when something goes wrong or can be improved, or when you come up with better examples.

Rose bushes produce marvellous fruit: rosehips. After the roses have finished flowering, it's time for these rugged, robust characters that are an essential ingredient in any autumn bouquet. If you're feeling peckish, pick a few to make tea, jam or Swedish rosehip soup. Most varieties are not only edible, they also have a medicinal effect. They boost your immune system and help counter nausea. They're also used in medicines for disorders including arthritis and arthrosis. Obviously you shouldn't start making your own rosehip medication - that's best left to the experts. This touch of instant autumn can be found growing in Europe, North and South America and Asia.
There are elongated, round and bottle-shaped rosehips. The colour of the fruit depends on the type of rose. You have the choice of red, black, purple or orange. They're rugged and have a crown at the bottom. They're filled with orange flesh and seeds, and carry you into autumn.
The rosehip is part of the rose, so the meaning should have something to do with love. Which it does. But it symbolises waiting for your true love. So it's perfect for hip singletons.
The seeds of the rosehip were being eaten over 2000 years ago. How do we know that? A corpse who died more than two millennia ago was dug up in England with rosehips seeds in his long-decomposed stomach. Obviously the rose itself occurs in many old tales. The ancient Persians first cultivated this beautiful flower. The Romans soon used the rosehips for their medicinal properties.
Refresh the water every five days, and top it up regularly.
If you want the fruit to dry out, don't fill the vase with water.
Don't place the branches in full sun, near a heater, close to a fruit bowl or in a draught.

Red Hill rider eclipses 'brutal' course to take title
July 17, 2017 MP News Group Sport No comments
By Ben Triandafillou
RED Hill Mountain Bike Riders have a world beater in their ranks.
Member Kevin Skidmore rode to victory in the World Endurance Mountain Bike Organization (WEMBO) 24-hour solo world championships.
Skidmore, 41, took out the 40-44-year-old male category and finished 10th overall in the grueling endurance event at Finale Ligure, Italy, on Saturday 3 June.
He rode 24 hours straight, clocking up 320km over 34 laps of the track which included almost 8000 metres of climbing.
"It's nothing short of insane," Red Hill Mountain Bike Riders president Mark Gardner said.
"There's never a moment where he can relax and not be on his game.
"[Mountain bike riding] is one of the most demanding sports on the planet.
"You're sleep deprived, constantly hydrating and reviewing your food intake, while riding at 70-75% of maximum heart rate, where some sections require a maximum effort to get through a climb"
It was far from smooth sailing for Skidmore who faced several set-backs throughout the race. He destroyed one of his bikes when he miscalculated a jump early in the race and recalls the "sickening sound of carbon fibre being destroyed".
Later, he tumbled into thorn bushes after stopping on a hill and overbalanced when trying to take off and pass another rider who had stalled on the climb.
Then, in the closing stages of the race, Skidmore tangled himself in vines in the forest and broke a brake lever on a second bike.
Recounting the wearisome race, Skidmore said that the course was "brutal" and that he was "struggling with his own demons and fighting off sleep [when having to ride through the night]."
It was a massive win for Skidmore who has recently been competing in the six-hour Victorian Enduro series.
Skidmore has been riding bikes for as long as he can remember but took up racing mountain bikes nine years ago and has been a member of the Red Hill Mountain Bike Riders for the past five years.
"I never started this with any real ambitions, I just wanted to prove that I could do it," he said.
"Nine years later I still find that I have something to prove, but still love the idea of riding somewhere new."
Skidmore is gearing up for the Otway Odyssey in February – an event in which he missed out on a top-10 finish by only one second this year.

Biofabricated leather
US startup releases lab-grown leather
New Jersey-based startup is a pioneer in biologically advanced materials creating the first ever biofabricated materials brand
Five years in development, recently debuted its lab-grown animal-free leather materials at the 'Items: Is Fashion Modern?' exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York – which runs until January 28th 2018.
The technology behind the leather material is based around DNA editing, as the biological component of leather isn't actually animal skin but rather the protein collagen. Modern Meadow starts with a naturally occurring strain of yeast and using DNA-sequence editing, these ordinary yeast cells are transformed into little factories that churn out collagen. They grow the collagen and assemble it into a material that then cab be processed and can be tanned and fashioned into various products.
The global leather industry is worth over USD 100 billion a year, but the traditional method of slaughtering cattle for its skin is environmentally damaging. Modern Meadow's leather material could be mass produced, can be thinner than traditional leather but with no reduction in strength, and is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. "Our technology enables designers to explore materials in exciting new ways, enabling never-seen-before functionality, aesthetics and performance possibilities," commented Modern Meadow's Chief Creative Officer, Suzanne Lee.
Modern Meadow have been working on animal-friendly alternatives for some years now, including even attempting to replicate hamburger meat artificially. Another company that has successfully biofabricated animal products is Pembient, who were able to 3D print rhino horns through advanced biotechnology to deter poachers. What other materials could be generated in the lab to make widely used products more sustainable?

Ben Fogle: Government should reverse 'poor decision' over free TV licences
Ben Fogle has said the Government should be held accountable for its "poor decision" over revoking free TV licences for all over-75s, and that it should be made to reverse it.
The BBC TV presenter, who said he is "ashamed" at how older people are being treated, is supporting the charity Age UK's SwitchedOff campaign to save free TV licences for those over 75, because "older people are being forgotten in this country".
Funding the free licences, which have been available to all over-75s for nearly two decades, is due to be transferred from the Government to the BBC next year as part of an agreement hammered out in 2015.
The corporation has said free licences will be means-tested under a new scheme that intends to protect programming while dealing with the extra funding burden.
Fogle, who on Wednesday pledged to donate his entire salary from this year's series of the BBC's Animal Park programme to subsidise TV licences for pensioners, said he is concerned for those who will not be able to afford the cost of a TV licence from next year.
The former Countryfile star told the Press Association: "I'm ashamed to say that we as a nation are not looking out for those who fought and risked their lives for us all – they deserve better.
"TV brings great comfort to millions of older people who live alone and those who are housebound – no doubt helping them to keep informed, entertained and connected to the outside world. I just can't believe this is being taken away from them.
"My grandparents loved the BBC and would have been lost without their TV, but if they were alive today they could have afforded a TV licence.
"It's those who are struggling to get by and can't even afford the basics that I'm worried about."
He added: "Why has the Government passed on what is essentially a welfare benefit to a media broadcaster – they should be held accountable for this poor decision and made to reverse it. Older people should be allowed to keep their free TV licences – it's the least we can do.
"I urge everyone who feels the same to sign Age UK's petition and support their work to make older people's voices heard."
Massive thanks to @Benfogle for lending his support to our campaign to save free TV licences. Our petition is over 400,000 signatures and counting! Join our #SwitchedOff campaign and help save free TV licences for over 75s: https://t.co/aDFsPxS0r5
— Age UK (@age_uk) June 13, 2019
His comments come as Age UK's petition to save free TV licences hit more than 420,000 signatures, calling for the Government to continue picking up the bill.
Through the campaign, the charity is calling on all leadership candidates of the Conservative Party to take back responsibility for the funding of free TV licences for over-75s if they become prime minister.
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: "I think the public agrees this situation is deeply unfair – our petition has more than 400,000 names on it today and rising.
"It is totally unnecessary too: the Government should never have given the responsibility for the free TV licence to the BBC without the money to fund it and the mess we have now is the inevitable result.
"The BBC cannot save the free TV licence for over-75s, it would cost them a fifth of their total budget, but our next prime minister certainly can: at less than 0.1% of public spending, the cost to the public purse is small change – but saving this entitlement would mean so much to so many older people.
"We call on all the candidates for the leadership of the Conservative Party to pledge their support."
Many have criticised the move, including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who said that providing over-75s with free TV licences "is not too much to ask", and senior Conservative Andrea Leadsom, who called for the new ruling to be scrapped.
Tory peer Ros Altmann – a former pensions minister – said the BBC should not have to "carry the can" for the £745 million cost of the licences.
In a joint statement released on Monday, the BBC's chairman Sir David Clementi and director-general Tony Hall said continuing the Government's scheme would have had a "severe impact" on services and that the new model "represents the fairest possible outcome".
Only around 1.5 million households will be eligible for a free TV licence under the new scheme.
It is thought that around 3.7 million pensioners will lose out.

News outlets are fond of reporting that rising numbers of parents are flouting traditional gender scripts to take on roles as "breadwinner" mothers or "stay-at-home" fathers and often argue that these trends are indicative of dramatic change in gender politics. What exactly are the trends and what does social science evidence have to say about their potential significance for greater gender egalitarianism? In this talk, Prof. Noelle Chesley will bring together findings from her own research and that of others to highlight the potential of individuals in gender-atypical work-family arrangements to bring about social change rooted in a greater range of choices in how individuals work for pay and raise children.

Q: How to Free/Release a File in Python? I get "file being used by another process" errors during execution when using os.stat.
I'm trying to sort a directory with help of os.stat and then using those files in an external process.
all_files = []
for file in os.listdir(some_directory):
    stats = os.stat(join(some_directory, file))
    if stats[ST_CTIME] == stats[ST_MTIME]:
        #file has not been modified yet
        all_files.append((file, stats[ST_SIZE]))
for file in all_files:
    # Try to open the file in an external process
    # "file being used by another process"

It works when I comment out os.stat and use fake stats instead. So it really is os.stat that blocks file access.
How can I release the file, so it can be opened in an external process?

AFC votes to remain with APNU as Ramjattan returns as party's leader
AFC's Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan (bottom right); AFC's General Secretary, Sherod Duncan (left); and the party's Chairman, Cathy Hughes (top right)
A press statement from the Alliance for Change (AFC) follows:
The Alliance For Change today elected a dynamic team comprising Party stalwarts and youth to take the Party forward for the next two years.
Retaining the position of Leader of the AFC is Khemraj Ramjattan while Cathy Hughes, former Vice Chairperson was elected Chairman. Ricky Ramsaroop was elected the new Vice Chairman. The position of General Secretary is now held by Sherod Duncan.
High enthusiasm and excitement enveloped the elections that was arguably the Party's most consequential National Conference.
The process and agenda was endorsed by the full complement of more than two hundred delegates and observers who attended, representing groups across the ten regions of Guyana, the Youth For Change, the Women For Change and AFC groups in the Diaspora including the USA, Canada, UK and the Caribbean.
The day-long National Conference saw the AFC elect 12 members to its National Executive Committee, the second highest decision making forum of the Party.
The new leadership body has pledged to work towards the advancement of the founding principles, increasing membership, establishing more groups, addressing concerns of members and in a more heightened manner, matters of national concern.
The National Conference, very importantly, examined "The way forward" for the Party and voted overwhelmingly in favour of staying in a political alliance with APNU until the expiration of the Cummingsburg Accord in December 2022 when it will be reviewed.
In addition, the conference demanded in the meantime that the AFC secure a firm agreement and structure for it to have greater influence on policy positions and political actions within the alliance, while maintaining its independence, rebranding and regaining its identity.
The new executive body will shortly meet to co-opt additional members to the second highest decision making forum of the Party.
The Seventh National Conference of the Alliance For Change saw the Party emerging stronger and united with purpose.

posted on 03/08/95 01:22 pm by Fr. Mark Miller, C.Ss.R.
Last summer I had my first truly intimate experience of death and dying. Not mine, of course! One of our old and dear Redemptorist brothers began to go downhill rather rapidly and on November 30th Brother Leo returned to his Maker. This is the first community I had lived in where a member had died.
Bro. Leo was more than just a member of our community, however. Our lives had been closely intertwined for almost 20 years, most of which we shared under the same roof. We each had our separate apostolic work, but our community life made us like members of one family. Although Bro. Leo was over 40 years older than myself, we shared an enthusiasm for the Lord's word and work as Redemptorist confreres. He was a hugely gregarious and outspoken man whose presence was always felt in the community. He had a deep and simple faith, a wonderful (and loud!) sense of humour, and a zest for life which would have shamed people six decades younger than he.
He was also afraid of getting old and "useless." And he was afraid of death. Many times we Redemptorists had discussed what it would be like if and when the day came for Bro. Leo to go into a nursing home.
Reflecting back on Bro. Leo's dying, a number of remarkable things happened. These were not events to make his dying a wonderful, exciting event. They were more like hidden jewels glimpsed only upon a kind of contemplative review of what happened during those three months. Each of these (and they are not all!) deserves comment, but I will simply present them in the same reflective mode that they came to me.
First, Bro. Leo surprised me one day when he told me that he was no longer afraid of death. With a look approaching awe on his face he said to me, "I've told people all my life that God loves them; now as I get closer I am beginning to trust that love." Knowing Bro. Leo as I did, this was a major step for him.
Second, at his funeral I spoke with a number of other Redemptorists and we all seemed to awaken to the same realization—Bro. Leo, who had been fiercely independent all his life, had allowed us to care for him. That may not sound like much, but many people want to hang on to their independence above all else. Bro. Leo did not become bitter at his loss of ability; rather he seemed to appreciate that we were there for him. We, on the other hand, discovered how much we loved him precisely in our care for him.
Third, Bro. Leo taught me something about weakness and the Cross. As his physical strength diminished, there was more and more that I and others were able do for him. He courageously continued to do all he could; but where he was weak, we would be his arms and his strength. Moreover, when he was in pain or overwhelmed by the burdens of his condition, he knew he was not alone. I know he knew he was loved. No clearer image of Jesus on the Cross—loved, hopeful and trusting in the midst of pain—has ever been before my eyes.
Fourth, priests and brothers in a religious order seldom go around talking about their love for each other. In fact, I have seen a number of priests who have wondered if their confreres really cared for them because the words were never spoken. Being so intimately involved with Bro. Leo as he grew weaker revealed clearly to me how connected we were and had been for years. We belonged to each other. We cared for each other. That is our love. And what a precious gift it is.
Fifth, Bro. Leo shared his dying with us. I don't know how much I really learned and probably won't know until it is my turn to die. Nonetheless, I am less fearful of death, less concerned about whether I will be cared for, and much less willing to avoid all thoughts of death. Dying is part of living. And when my turn comes, I trust that Bro. Leo will have already made it easier for me.
Finally, in his dying Bro. Leo brought many of his Redemptorist confreres closer together. There were times when we chatted outside his room while he slept, times when we all talked with him and held his hand, times when we talked about his condition and how best to serve him. In our care for him there was revealed to us our care for each other. That is a valuable lesson for men who do not marry.
We often wonder what the point of a prolonged dying is for the patient. While that is part of God's mysterious plans for each individual (and there is often much good that God accomplishes during that time), we must not forget that dying can be shared like any other part of living. Those of us who care for the dying person must be aware of how easy it is to distance ourselves from death—and therefore from the dying person—if we think that we are there only to give and not to receive. Dying may look like the most isolated part of human existence. It is not. It is a time to share our mortality. The gifts that the dying share with those left behind, from facing the fear to allowing oneself to be loved in utter weakness, are precious beyond words in a society that often forgets how much we are parts of one another through our love.

This month Andaman Discoveries welcomed Karen Spackman, who joins us from Stirlingshire, Scotland, via Andaman Discoveries' new partner TWIN UK. Karen is currently piloting two new long-term volunteering programs: teaching English at the Temple Kindergarten, and vocational English at the Kuraburi hospital. "This is turning out to be such a fantastic experience for me, I have been made to feel part of the team as well as the community since arriving in Kuraburi. Working with the local children and nurses has really helped transform me from being just another tourist to a valued member of the town," said Karen.
In November she will be greeted by anxious students at the Kuraburi High School, where she will teach for her remaining two months. "Karen is a brilliant addition to the Andaman Discoveries team," said Erik Rogers, AD Program Manager. "She has boundless energy and enthusiasm, and is a real self-starter. She felt like part of the gang on her first day." In her spare time, Karen has generously helped out in the office on various administrative tasks, including our English homestay pack.
Karen went on to comment that, "Integrating with the local people has allowed me to establish relationships I would never have gained if I were merely just visiting the area. Since arriving in Kuraburi I have been supported all the way by Andaman Discoveries, through having access to their online teaching plan for the children, to assistance with the development of my own lesson plans for the adults. The staff at the office has such a vast wealth of knowledge that I'm always able to share ideas and concerns with at any time".

Having the motivation to fit exercise into your schedule is a very real problem for most people.
Excuses come up fast and often, including a busy schedule, tiredness and not wanting to go through too much trouble. However, it is not impossible to stay on to your exercise goals. Just start small. Here's how.
Make a list of your exercise and diet goals and post copies of it anywhere you may see it most often. Keep in mind that goals must be sustainable and realistic. While Hollywood moms boast of losing baby weight in two months, keep in mind that people should lose their weight at a healthier pace. You can start with 30 minute exercises three times a week, and add another day when you've become more accustomed to it.
You can list your goals weekly, and then tally them up with what you were able to accomplish. You will then be able to review what goals you've been able to meet and any realignment you may need to do.
Give yourself small rewards and favors after a week of successfully completing your goals. It can be a spa, a mani/pedi, that book or CD that you've been eying. Or it can be an indulgence in your favorite dessert!
Whatever it is, having an instant gratification (weight loss doesn't come quickly) can help you go through the week to come.
Having a partner will make the process of dieting and exercising easier to bear. You can have someone to complain to (don't make a habit of it, though), talk to, compare notes with, and you can even have a bit of competitive edge thrown in.
To up the ante a little bit, you can also have a competitive game among your peers. Officemates, housemates or classmates can all be part of a contest akin to the show The Biggest Loser. The team or individual who loses the most weight, wins.
Doing the same kind of exercise repeatedly in the course of the week can get pretty boring. Instead, do different exercises within the week. You can do yoga on the first day, cardio the second, weights next. Not only is this actually the better way to exercise, but it will liven up your routine and keep things interesting.
Join a fitness club, a gym or a fitness class. Meeting other people with similar goals can help encourage you with your own. It's also a great thing to make your exercise feel less like a chore and more like a fun activity. Joining a sports group also brings that competitive edge that always keeps one going!
Having a personal trainer is like having a fitness guardian angel, making sure that you meet your goals and abide by the set rules.
Sign up for a race. Preparing for a race can be a great motivation for you to reach your exercise goals. Here's how to train for a triathlon.
Commit yourself to extra activities other than your exercise routine on your rest days. This is one way to view exercise less as a chore and more as an organic part of your daily activities.
For example, commit yourself to walk your dog for an hour or two twice a week. Or commit to using the stairs instead of the elevator twice a week. There's less pressure for you to do it, but in the interest of attaining your goal, these small commitments go a long way. Good luck.
