MISSION	BOARD OF DIRECTORS	STRATEGIC PLAN OUR TEAM	OUR PARTNERS OUR VALUES
People for Equality and Relief in Lanka (PEARL) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization led by human rights activists concerned about the situation in Sri Lanka. PEARL was formed in 2005 by volunteers who went to Sri Lanka and witnessed the human rights violations and the hardships of Tamil civilians affected by the conflict. Upon their return to the U.S. they created PEARL to increase engagement between Americans and elected officials and to urge the U.S. government to play a role in improving human rights in Sri Lanka.
Our mission is to advocate for justice and self-determination for the Tamil people in the North-East of Sri Lanka.
Our vision is for a Tamil nation that is inclusive, free from oppression and able to determine its own future.
For over a decade, PEARL has been advocating for human rights in Sri Lanka with U.S. policy makers, the United Nations, European Union and other governmental and non-governmental organizations. We conduct innovative research and analysis, centred in the experiences of Tamil victim-survivors, to report on key issues affecting the North-East of the island.

PEARL is committed to the protection of human rights of the Eelam Tamil people on the island of Sri Lanka, the self-determination of the Eelam Tamil people and the recognition of the Tamil Nation. PEARL works to shape international policy to align with Tamil aspirations. Based in D.C., PEARL's advocacy influences U.S. government policy through the State Department and Congress as well as UN Human Rights Council activities on Sri Lanka. PEARL conducts research on issues of importance to the Tamil homeland and publishes reports, fact sheets and statements. Further, PEARL has worked on litigation and evidence collection against Sri Lankan war criminals in the U.S. Initially reliant entirely on volunteers, PEARL now has a paid, part-time staff member in addition to a dedicated volunteer team.
This document outlines the five-year strategic vision for PEARL, which will guide our work between 2019 and 2023. It sets ambitious yet feasible goals for the ways in which PEARL will operate and grow in that timeframe. Annual plans will be developed to allow each year's activities to be more thoroughly structured to deliver on longer-term goals. All of these plans will be driven by PEARL's organizational mission of pursuing human rights, justice and self-determination for the Eelam Tamil people.
By developing our financial and human capacity and efforts in these areas, we aim to support the Tamil Nation and promote Tamils' individual and collective rights. Our organization acknowledges and actively works toward supporting the struggle of the Tamil people through collaboration and partnership between the diaspora and those in the homeland. The combination of these priorities will continue to solidify PEARL's role as a leading organization within the Tamil struggle for human rights, justice and self-determination. PEARL will engage in Monitoring & Evaluation efforts to measure our success against the benchmarks identified in this strategic plan, as well as our annual plans.Our goals, based on PEARL's progress as of 2018, are divided into three categories: (1) Strengthening the Struggle, (2) Countering Opposition and (3) Building Organizational Capacity. The next section outlines PEARL's work in 2018.
The COVID-19 crisis has brought unprecedented challenges to the civil society landscape affecting our work. We acted quickly to adapt our strategic plan to the conditions brought on the pandemic and forge new ways forward in our mission toward justice and self-determination for the Tamil people.
Strengthening the Struggle
Within the Tamil context, the term "struggle" is commonly used to describe the decades of resistance to Sri Lankan state hegemony. We use this term in the context of its non-violent historical origin. Our aim is to ensure the equal treatment and the full realization of the human rights of Eelam Tamils (as individuals and as a people) in the homeland. We believe our role is to amplify Tamil voices and disseminate Tamil narratives of the struggle, so the genocide will never be complete.
Our advocacy, research and activism will primarily focus on militarization, memorialization and accountability while retaining flexibility to address developments on the ground and internationally. Additionally, each year will feature a specific campaign. Planned campaigns include Recognition of Genocide, Ending Colonization, and Supporting Universal Jurisdiction Prosecutions. Additional campaigns will be developed later to enable us to adequately respond to the ground situation at that time.
Countering the Opposition
As such, our work will focus on countering Sinhala-Buddhist nationalism whether it comes from the Sri Lankan government, the Sri Lankan military or private organizations and individuals. Our advocacy, research and activism will also focus on analyzing and deconstructing opposition to the rights of Tamil people. As this work responds to events on the ground, it is more difficult to anticipate in detail.
Building Organizational Capacity
In order to strengthen and expand our work, we will focus on building our organizational capacity, relying on the active participation and cooperation of individuals both within the diaspora and in the homeland. Our aim is to ensure growth in financial contributions, supporters, paid staff and volunteers. In addition, we aim to strengthen existing internal practices as well as develop new ways of working. PEARL will be strategic and intentional about the work that we do by developing realistic goals and methods to reach them.
Additionally, PEARL will continue to challenge norms within the Tamil community and foster dialogue regarding gender, caste, class, sexual orientation, and other systems of oppression. We will also develop internal policies and procedures to reflect the changes we advocate within the larger community.
Accountability & Monitoring
PEARL will work to continuously monitor and evaluate our progress implementing this strategic plan. The aim of our evaluations is to assess the impact of our work, our fiscal sustainability, and our organizational growth, with a view towards iterative improvement.
Part of our work plan will be to develop a sustainable monitoring and evaluation framework and theory of change for PEARL, specific to the context and requirements of the organization. This process will include all key stakeholders, including our staff, members, board, donors, and partners.
PEARL will conduct a midterm review during 2021, as well as a final evaluation at the end of 2023 to assess our ability to effectively implement the goals identified by this strategy. These assessments will look at data from all of our annual evaluations, including quarterly summaries, mid-year evaluations, and end of year evaluations. This data will be collated and analyzed based on the strategic goals set out by this document.
Some of our indicators may include (but are not limited to): revenue, annual expenditure, growth in volunteers and staff, digital growth, productivity, and other quantitative and qualitative measures of the impact of our work. We will further assess our internal anti-oppression practices by collecting data on a voluntary basis, of our staff, board members, donors, and volunteers.
These evaluations will be disseminated to the appropriate parties, including our board, donors, and members. We will also reproduce these materials for public access, when appropriate, in an effort to increase transparency.
Tasha Manoranjan is the founder and director of PEARL. She currently works as a Senior Policy Advisor at the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

Q: How to validate number ranges of the form ]0,100000] I need to validate numbers where the validation rule looks like this (for example):
]0,1000[

meaning that the numbers are only valid in the range >0 and <=1000
Also there is validation rule like:
[*,*]

which means: every number is allowed (don't ask me about the max and min).
Is there an existing library to validate this with generic rules like that? Do you have example code I could use?
Thanks
Hannes

A: You don't need a lib for this, its possible with simple if-statements. I while ago I build a solution with php, but you can easily transfer it to javascript.
$rule = ['*', 200];
$n = 65;

if($rule[0] == '*' && $n <= $rule[1]){
  echo 'Valid';
} elseif($rule[1] == '*' && $n >= $rule[0]){
  echo 'Valid';
} elseif($rule[0] == '*' && $rule[1] == '*'){
  echo 'Valid';
} elseif($n <= $rule[1] && $n >= $rule[0]){
  echo 'Valid';
} else {
  echo 'Invalid';
}

A: I do not think you'll find a library for this as it is too simple.
Personally i would just bundle a bunch of validation functions in a validator object and test against those:

var Validator = /** @class */ (function() {
  function Validator(name, tests) {
    if (tests === void 0) {
      tests = [];
    }
    this.name = name;
    this.tests = tests;
  }
  Validator.prototype.test = function(n) {
    var m = parseFloat(n.toString());
    for (var i = 0; i < this.tests.length; i++) {
      var test = this.tests[i];
      if (!test(m)) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  };
  return Validator;
}());
//TEST
var validator = new Validator("between0And1000", [
  function(n) {
    return n >= 0;
  },
  function(n) {
    return n <= 1000;
  },
]);
console.log(validator.test(-1), validator.test(0), validator.test(1), validator.test(10), validator.test(999), validator.test(1000), validator.test(1001));

If you are serious about providing "patterns" then you should look into regular expressions

In a cardiac catheterization laboratory that performs more than 2,000 procedures every year, keeping each lab stocked with the appropriate supplies is critical to patient care and safety. Lanessia Lane plays a crucial role in this endeavor, ensuring uninterrupted care.
How did you become involved the medical field?
I got my start in the military in 1992, working with supplies for a medical hospital at Fort Devens and then at Summer Street in South Boston. I gained a lot of experience there. After the military, I managed the supplies at a few Boston hospitals before joining the cardiac catheterization lab at Boston Children's Hospital 11 years ago.
A big part of my job is managing PAR EX, our inventory management system. I register all items into the system, and during each procedure the techs scan the item before opening and giving it to the physician. This scan captures the lot number and the time and date of use, so the item can be replenished, and also goes into the patient's medical record. Sometimes I get requests from other hospitals for lot numbers from equipment that was used on a particular patient. Our data is pretty tight, so we're usually able to provide that information quickly and accurately.
I also manage backorders, which we come across all the time. It's my job to make sure that the cath lab continues to flow uninterrupted and that the doctors have what they need, so there's never a delay in patient care. If a particular item has been discontinued, I work with the doctors to make sure we get something in that's comparable that they like.
I also sit on a committee called NET (New and Emerging Technology) with doctors and nurses from across the hospital. Our committee reviews all requests for new equipment, performs a cost analysis and then sends the requests through Materials Management, who negotiate with vendors and make a final decision on purchasing.
There are a lot of moving pieces. We have five procedure labs and each has its own specialized inventory. I need to be able to prioritize and know what I can put on hold and what I have to take care of right away. When you don't have appropriate supplies, it causes stress levels to go up, and if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, you could order a whole tray of something that's not sterile or something that's just a bit off. It's my job to be able to see that detail and think critically at that level.
Every day is different, which I really love. I'm passionate about what I do and feel like I'm doing something that's meaningful. It's satisfying to know I've done my job well.
I also take a on a COACH (Community Opportunities Advancement at Children's Hospital) intern every summer — a program that offers Boston Public High School students a chance to explore health care careers. I show the intern my job and talk with them about what they want to do. I like helping the students find things that interest them and opening their eyes to all of the many options available within the hospital. It's really rewarding.
Recently, I was looking at a backorder and realized an item we were waiting for, a 60cc syringe, wasn't listed. I kept looking at the backorder report and saw it wasn't coming in. We use them a lot, so I knew it would be a problem if we ran out. I wasn't getting satisfying answers about where the item was, so I decided to escalate my concern to the daily meeting for directors at the hospital. It turned out that the whole facility was low, but I was the only one who raised my hand and spoke up.
In the meantime, I researched a new item to make sure it was compatible, then called the vendor to see if they had in stock and had my buyer place an order for the next day. After that incident, the hospital changed the whole process for handling backorders. I feel good about doing that, but I don't need to be recognized for it. That's my job.

Japan is all set to remove the COVID-19 entry ban for 106 nations, but tourists still can't enter
by Peng Lim | Apr 12, 2022 | Trending News | 0 comments
Recently, the Japanese government announced its intention to lift COVID-19 border restrictions for 106 countries by lifting the travel ban. It includes countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The Japanese government has closed its borders to most foreigners since the start of the 2020 pandemic.
Though Tokyo has eased some restrictions related to COVID-19 and is also easing border restrictions, it doesn't mean a full reopening for tourists. A Wednesday update from Japan's foreign ministry said foreigners from the 106 countries would no longer be subject to being refused entry into Japan as of Friday.
However, those who want to enter the country for tourism reasons will have to wait longer because the country does not yet allow entry.
Meanwhile, some developed countries have already eased border restrictions and provided entertainment for tourists. But Japan is not ready for a full opening. In another update, the Japanese government said it would not allow entry into 56 countries.
The government also pointed out that the daily quota for foreign travelers to Japan this month is 10,000, up from 7,000 earlier. According to officials, the latest revision is solely based on the State Department lowering the alert level for these 106 countries on April 1. But with the ministry's decision to limit the number of visas in foreign embassies, Japan will go ahead. restrict who can enter the country.

A new organization on Grounds is pushing for inclusive sexual education inclusive of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Hoos for Inclusive Sexual Education, created by second-year College student Hunter Wagenaar, will advocate for more comprehensive sexual education on the local, state and federal levels.
Wagenaar founded Hoos for Inclusive Sexual Education, or HISE, this summer and said he based his aspirations for the organization off a final project he completed on the lack of sexual education in public schools for his English Writing class last year called, "In the Life: Living, Writing and Representing Black LGBTQ." Wagenaar said the organization will address the lack of many LGBTQ students obtaining sufficient information on sexual education in high school, an issue that affected him personally.
Dates are still being finalized for future general body meetings, and Wagenaar says he hopes to gain CIO status by second semester. A CIO, or Contracted Independent Organization, receives benefits such as reserved space on Grounds for meetings, promotions for activities fairs and the potential to receive funding from the University Student Council.
To apply for CIO status, an organization has to submit a thorough application to the Student Council Recognition Committee for review before the application is passed to the Vice President for Organizations, who makes a recommendation for or against approval to the Representative Body, who then votes on the organization's CIO status.
Wagenaar and his team hope the organization can advocate for sexual education, specifically with regards to the high percentages of sexually transmitted diseases within marginalized communities, as well as act as a way to recognize those with LGBTQ identities.
As of now, Wagenaar and his team are comprised of four chair members and 14 general body members. The group is in the process of recruiting new members and has so far received applications from students representing various years at the University and sexual orientation.
Wagenaar said he is happy to see those identifying as straight also applying to join the organization.
"I think it shouldn't just be something that the people who are affected by it are advocating for but also people within society," Wagenaar said.
Within the organization, HISE is divided into four committees — internal advocacy, external advocacy, outreach and curriculum. Each committee is specifically geared toward promoting awareness for the organization as well as advancing the topic of sexual education.
The Curriculum committee, chaired by fourth-year Curry student Sydney Hainsworth, works toward building curriculum that can be obtained for school districts to promote more sexual education. The goal of this committee is to find curriculum for school districts that can not only remain effective, but also run align with HISE's purpose and mission statement of addressing the various topics of health and social awareness with sexual education.
The External Advocacy committee is chaired by second-year College student Eva Petersen and focuses on advocating for sexual education within local communities. This includes contacting lawmakers and policymakers to promote further awareness.
Petersen said that although her committee is focused on lobbying for sexual education, their main mission is to continuously grow the organization and bringing in dedicated members.
The Internal Advocacy committee is chaired by second-year Nursing student Hunter Pyron and is geared toward advocating and promoting sexual education on Grounds. This includes tabling and hosting events and presentations.
Pyron reiterated the need for sexual education awareness, especially pertaining to many Virginia schools not teaching this information.
"I didn't receive substantial sexual education in high school … and considering we have a large LGBTQ population and we have a majority of in-state students, we need to raise awareness for inclusive sexual education," Pyron said.
The Outreach Committee, chaired by second-year College student Hannah Lee, works on collaborating with other organizations on Grounds. This includes using social media, and other tactics of communication to continuously promote the organization.
The organization has reached out to several other LGBTQ organizations on Grounds to seek further membership, including Queer Student Union, Athletes for Equality and qRN — an LGBTQ+ organization for students in the Nursing School. Among the many goals and plans set for the upcoming year, Wagenaar and his team are hoping to have a speaker series next semester featuring speakers to talk about various topics surrounding sexual education.
While the speaker series is in the works for the spring semester, HISE plans to further promote their organization and the conversation of sexual education through tabling and establishing a letter writing campaign, in which students can write letters to their state politicians asking for more inclusive sexual education. Hoos for Inclusive Sexual Education also will be specifically focusing on advocacy for LGBTQ+ sexual education within Charlottesville's public schools this semester, then on the state level later on.
Wagenaar said this organization is both confronting the issue of a lack of sexual education as it pertains to health issues of STD rates and also addressing the issue of cultural and social awareness. He said he believes that if students, including those of heterosexual orientation, are exposed to LGBTQ+ sexual education, students will be more capable of normalizing and understanding this information.
"In making this organization it's not only allowing for the issue to be advocated on but it's also starting that conversation," Wagenaar said.
This article has been updated to clarify the role of the Vice President for Organizations and the Representative Body in approving a CIO.

[Balance discussion]Combat archery from Hurt Locker
Morangias
The only difference between moonlight and sunlight is that the former is a reflection of the latter.
And yet, that difference matters.
In broad terms, CofD runs on symbolism, not common sense.
The difference between sunlight and moonlight can be clearly intuited by anyone with a lick of folklore knowledge. There is no symbolic difference between two sharpened wooden shafts of different length and thickness.
Just because sometimes logic and common sense fail you in WoD/CofD doesn't mean they shouldn't be considered at all.

And the other significant difference is the classic vampire stake is made of wood and the majority of modern arrow shafts are made of carbon fiber or plastic or aluminium.
Obviously, this wouldn't apply to non-wooden arrows. I'm sorry, but did that really merit explicit mention?

Kind of like the common folklore knowledge of using a stake to pin a corpse to the grave so it wouldn't rise again? Something that certainly never involved using a crossbow to do the job during it's Slavic origins?
And yet, common sense *should* cause us to disregard that knowledge, but not knowledge about the symbolic differences between moonlight and sunlight. Interesting stance.
To be clear, I'm not disputing the RAW, where it clearly works. I'm not even saying it shouldn't work. I'm just suggesting that it is not at all unreasonable for someone operating in ignorance of the RAW to believe it might not work, based on symbolic arguments and the focus of the text.

I'm not familiar with the Vampire rules: If I use a mirror to reflect sunlight on a vampire, does it hurt them?
BTW, moonlight is 400,000x dimmer than sunlight, so maybe moonlight is only at worst an annoyance?
Hell, if archery is this effective, why don't other vampires use it?
Well, because the Combat Archery Merit isn't actually that great for taking out vampires. The best anti-vampire long-range staking is with the Powered Projectile Merit, which is Firearms based and uses crossbows (among other options).
Combat Archery is a good all around Fighting Style because it's Athletics based and ranged, giving you great flexibility compared to most options. It's doesn't max out your "ranged stake from stealth" potential much, but if you can pull that off fairly well and you want some good combat skills to fall back on if it wasn't enough it's great.

Probably, but the intention has always been symbolic rather than practical. Vampires in VtR don't take damage from artificial lights even if they're pumping out all the same rays as the sun either. How bad sunlight is for a vampire is also keyed off of both their Humanity and Blood Potency, making it even more a metaphysical thing than a physics thing.

proindrakenzol I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or not... my point was just that scientifically created light with the identical physics as sunlight doesn't harm vampires.
On the mage thing? A mage that's going for 12+ Potency can just... use a damage spell and kill you.
The only "scientifically created light with the identical physics as sunlight" we can produce is a hydrogen bomb, so whether it harms vampires is moot, the explosion will annihilate them.
ArcaneArts it is a lot of work, and probably won't come up, I'm just saying my personal inclination is that if you were able to boost the strength of the reflected moonlight 400k times then I think it counts as sunlight, both because I feel like it does carry the same mystic woowoo these days and because, from a meta perspective, if you've pulled it off you deserve to have it work.
If you rule that moonlight is just very diminished sunlight (symbolically speaking) with inherent potential to damage vampires if it weren't as diminished, then that would be the consistent outcome if you just pump it up high enough. I don't think it is, though, as vampires have no reaction to moonlight at all despite risking Frenzy when simply threatened with sunlight. Even if it's diminished to the point where it doesn't do any damage, I still think it should warrant a mention that vampires dislike the moon due to it redirecting a portion of their greatest Bane down on them.
My preferred way of having mages create sunlight would be to have a Reach option for adding Prime to any Forces spells that deal with light in order to turn it mystically into sunlight. Prime is the Arcanum dealing with Resonances and that's kinda the only thing that can differ between regular light and sunlight.
This is all just my interpretation, I'm not trying to change your mind, just explain my viewpoint.
I view the V!Beast's Frenzy response as a naturally triggered survival instinct, not a supernaturally triggered one. That means that, to me, the V!Beast must have a threshold for something to be recognized, below which it (as an instinctual, rather than reasoned response mechanism) simply doesn't react. Moonlight isn't merely half, or a quarter, or even a tenth as strong as Sunlight, it's four hundred thousandths as strong, it's simply not bright enough or damaging enough to cause a psychological or physiological reaction from the V!Beast.
It's like a peanut allergy, someone can be deathly allergic to peanuts, but if something only contained 1/400,000 of a lethal peanut dose they would be completely unaffected. So if moonlight carries the same metaphysical properties as sunlight they would be so diluted as to have no effect and be swamped by any metaphysical properties imparted by reflecting off the moon.
But if you could strengthen the moonlight enough it would still affect anything affected by sunlight.
Create Light (Forces 5, Mage page 146) explicitly states it can create sunlight, it has no other Arcana required. This would seem to imply that the properties of sunlight are Forces based, at least to me.
Mr.F.I.X.
Staking = putting a piece of (presumably sharpened) wood into a vampire's heart. Stake is merely shorthand or crossbow bolts wouldn't be able to stake a vampire (as is included in the 2e core).
In addition to this bows have the same line of text in hurt locker.
While sunlight works on vampires about as you'd expect, the stake does not, because in folklore, the "staking" is literally the act of nailing the corpse to the coffin so it doesn't rise. Obviously they wouldn't use a crossbow for that! The "stake" itself is of little consequence and there are many "vampire burials" in which simple iron nails have been employed in place of wood.
But that's not how it works in WoD/CofD. Here, the wooden stake needs to pierce the vampire heart to send it into torpor for as long as it remains in the heart. So, what is a stake in that case? The only definition of the word applicable in this context is 'a stick pointed at one end'. So, since we're talking wooden stake, a pointed piece of wood. A definition that a sharpened wooden arrowshaft matches. Since there are no other qualifiers attached to the 'wooden stake' in CofD that would disqualify such an arrowshaft from counting as a stake, it follows that it counts as a stake.
See, applying logic and common sense to WoD can work! You just have to have some common sense and basic understanding of logic.
I'd add, they presumably used a hammer as well seeing as humans (and presumably vampires) have ribs. However, Requiem clearly takes inspiration from more modern vampire fiction where you can one-hand a stake like a wooden dagger, in which case, for a stake to be wieldable as a weapon, it'd need to be relatively thin.

Mom reveals how 'childhood Alzheimer's' left her teenage son with mental age of toddler
He was like any other kid.

Levi was like any other kid.
He rode his bike without training wheels, ate solid foods and loved colouring in pictures – but now all that has been taken from him, Levi's mother, Christi Ormeroid, revealed to The Mirror.
"Levi was just like any other child," Christi says. "But at only four years old, he slowly started losing his words.
"I would tell myself I was overreacting but then the next day it was like, 'Something isn't right'," said Christi.
A plethora of tests revealed little Levi suffers from Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes brain damage.
According to The Mirror, the incurable condition has left Levi – now 19 – with the mental age of an 18-month-old.
Daily Mail reports that the condition is known as childhood Alzheimer's because of its similarity to the degenerative disease which typically affects the elderly.
The condition affects one in 70 000 children in the US and has a life expectancy of around 15, according to Sanfilippo.org.
"Over time, brain cells fill up with waste that the body is unable to process," the site explains.
"As the brain gets progressively damaged, children experience hyperactivity, sleeplessness, loss of speech and cognitive skills, mental retardation, cardiac issues, seizures, loss of mobility, dementia and finally death, usually before adulthood."
Levi's 2009 diagnosis was heartbreaking for the mom from Milwaukee in Wisconsin.
"I just remember I started crying and was in my own little world," Christi recalls. "It was like a dream and I couldn't wake up. Everything you wish your kid could do is gone. It was like being stabbed in the heart."
Now, her son can't even sing along to his favourite song.
"Levi's favorite song is Jessie's Girl, by Rick Springfield. He would sing along and just be so happy."
"Now when he hears the song he still lights up and you can see the spark in his eyes but he is unable to sing along," she says.
The family is calling for more research into Sanfilippo in a bid to find treatment and a cure.
Levi's sister, Logan (23), is on a quest to raise $100 000 (R1,1 million) for Team Sanfilippo Foundation on Go Fund Me, by climbing to the top of Pico de Orizaba, a strato-volcano in Mexico standing at 5 636 m.
"The goal is to prove that no mountain is too high when it comes to saving children's lives from Sanfilippo Syndrome," the leader of Logan's group wrote on the crowdfunding site.
The hike, which began on Sunday, 18 March, will take six days.
