A protest towards the Government of Iván Duque, in Cali, Colombia, on June 17.LUIS ROBAYO (AFP)
Latin America, as soon as once more, will face a really advanced 12 months. So says the second version of the Political Risk Index of the Center for International Studies of the Catholic University of Chile (CEIUC), which makes an exhaustive evaluation of the primary issues that threaten this area the place, because of the pandemic, "more than 20 million jobs, levels of informality skyrocketed, inequality increased and poverty rose to about a third ". In a report introduced this Tuesday within the Chilean capital, the examine detects 10 political dangers for 2022, primarily based on the opinion of 1,144 residents consulted and 170 consultants from Latin America and the Caribbean, amongst presidents, regional authorities, opinion leaders and teachers. In order of significance, the report signifies that the dangers are democratic erosion, local weather change and water shortage, social protests and violence, the migration disaster, illicit economies, political polarization, falling international funding, the regional irrelevance, cybercrime and the rise of China.
"The levels of uncertainty, volatility, political risk and polarization will remain high. For their part, populism, anti-elite sentiment and xenophobic nativism will continue to be present and the combination of all this will make governance increasingly complex ", explains Daniel Zovatto, researcher senior CEIUC and one of many report's editors. For Jorge Sahd, director of the CEIUC and one other of the report's editors, "in Latin America a triple crisis has been configured: of governance, with democracies increasingly under stress; expectations, with a more demanding and impatient citizenry, without an economy that accompanies 2022; and of certainties, with higher levels of political uncertainty, the unknown of the new variants of the pandemic and states with less fiscal margin ".
The first model of the Political Risk Index in Latin America for 2021 was marked by the devastating results of the pandemic, however the present report focuses its gaze on the rising degree of uncertainty and volatility. It describes, for instance, the way in which wherein the pandemic has been a chance for sure governments to pay attention larger energy and improperly apply states of exception, with the emergence of recent authoritarianisms "in impatient, distrustful societies and strongly hit by the health emergency." . With a regional financial system therapeutic, after the debacle of 2020, the restoration is inadequate and with a modest projection of three% progress by 2022, particularly for the reason that area remains to be coping with a world well being emergency. It is the backdrop to the triple disaster talked about by Sahd and defined within the report.
In the disaster of governance, democracy is underneath stress. Half of the international locations in Latin America and the Caribbean present indicators of democratic erosion, based on the State of Democracy within the Americas 2021 report by International IDEA. Meanwhile, the pollster Latinobarómetro warns that half of Latin Americans would tolerate an undemocratic authorities so long as it solves their issues. "According to the Democracy Index of The Economist Intelligence Unit 2020 in Latin America, in addition to three consolidated dictatorships —Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua—, Honduras, El Salvador, Bolivia and Guatemala are classified as hybrid regimes ", signifies the CEIUC report.
According to The Economist Intelligence Unit 2020Only three international locations within the area have full democracies: Uruguay, Chile and Costa Rica. Meanwhile, the degrees of belief in the direction of public establishments stay low, discontent with the standard of public providers will increase and social networks print a pace to social calls for that the State will not be able to processing, says the Political Risk Index from Latin America. "Urgent institutional reforms are needed for the new times that incorporate criteria of inclusion, efficiency, transparency and governance", advises the examine. In addition, it factors to the necessity for "elites and citizens more committed to democratic values."
The analysis additionally factors out that local weather change, water stress and pure disasters trigger a rising influence on nature and populations, which is exacerbated by the dearth of governance and foresight of the States. It is the second danger that the examine warns so as of significance, after the erosion of democracy. The state of affairs is grim: the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Climate Change predicts that sea degree rise will proceed within the area at a mean of three.6 millimeters per 12 months – above the worldwide common of three.3 millimeters -, which it might influence 27% of the inhabitants dwelling in coastal areas. The generalized drought would result in a worsening of entry to meals in lots of areas of the area, which has a direct influence on the capacities to scale back poverty and excessive poverty, particularly in rural areas. In an space of the planet that concentrates 31% of the world's recent water reserves, international locations corresponding to Chile and Mexico had consumed 60% of their water reserves in 2019, based on the CEIUC report.

There is a 3rd nice danger for the area in 2022, social protests and violence. It is a posh context. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates a historic fall of seven% of GDP based on figures from October 2021 and ECLAC counts 22 million new poor within the area, equal to 33.7% of the inhabitants of Latin America, a enhance in inequality by 2.9%, and a lack of 47 million jobs in comparison with 2019. Although social assist elevated public debt by 10 factors of GDP in lower than two years, "the patience of frustrated young people and disenchanted with the inability of governments to reverse structural inequality, it is ending quickly and they demand immediate results, "says the Latin American Political Risk Index. "Despite the risks of massive contagion [por la covid-19], the protests against the governments have been reactivated, many of them producing violent confrontations with the security forces and with a tragic result for the participants ", adds the study.
Zovatto explains: "The turbulent second semester of 2019 characterized by a wave of protests was a first warning bell of the high level of social unrest and citizen irritation that afflicted many fatigued democracies in the region. In 2020, with the arrival of the pandemic, most of the protests were sent to quarantine. This created the false feeling that social protests were a thing of the past. But in 2021, in several countries, including Paraguay, Peru and especially in Colombia, these re-emerged with particular virulence, "says one of the report's editors.
For the researcher senior of the CEIUC, there is a high risk that protests will reignite in Latin America in 2022. "In my opinion, if governments fail to adequately manage citizen expectations and demands and provide timely and effective responses to the root causes that triggered the protests in 2019 (social unrest, lack of opportunities especially for young people, poor quality of public services, lack of trust of citizens with politicians and a long etcetera) there is a high risk that they will reappear ". He provides, nonetheless, that "not everything is negative in relation to the protests." Zovatto says that when they aren't accompanied by violence, they represent a useful mechanism to defend residents' rights and promote reforms and social and political modifications.

Our Google Trusted Photographer took a virtual tour of one of the UK's best indie and rock nightclubs.
This Google Street View virtual tour is the first one of many of ours to have been published onto the Google Street View / Google Maps platform. It enables anybody who is searching for The Ruby Lounge to be able to "see inside" the venue right from within Google Maps.


Why activate international roaming on your mobile and waste money for your Navigation. Why depend on those printed tourist map that you get from your hotel reception, which is not scalable.
You just had your breakfast, and you are about to leave your hotel/hostel to tour the city. You have planned to visit museums, parks, restaurants, shops, Temple/Church/Mosque, exhibition galleries and finally coming back to your hotel.
But how will you navigate to all these places, all day long? Does your phone has Internet? Or are you depending on that printed tourist map you just got from the reception? But their maps are not scalable. I mean it just shows you places of Interest for the tourist visiting the city.
You may sometime take a Xerox copy of the map from a Travel Guide that you've bought. But if it's a soft copy that you are planning to use it on your cell phone, again that's not navigable because it's just a pdf or an epub file. All you can do is only view it. It won't tell you exactly where you are.
You might have bought those physical maps available in the shop nearby or that street vendor. But what are you going to do with that map once you are done with the city. Will that be useful again if you visit after two years, of course yes, but it will not be updated with the latest restaurants, pubs, bars and other non-historical attractions. You might end up going to a restaurant which is closed already unless you did some google at your hotel using their Wi-Fi before stepping out today. I know people these days, visit a café and use their Free Wi-Fi and move on to their next spot. But again that's just a hack, can you rely on cafes internet every time.
What if you are in a small town or in the interiors where there is no Mobile Coverage, No Internet, and no possibility of finding any physical maps to navigate?
Of course, you are going to ask people for directions using your language if you are in your own country or communicate in English if you are in a foreign country. But what if they do not understand English, like for example. I was in Vietnam, and people didn't understand English at all. I had to navigate using my GPS.
Readers from 80s should not get confused with a term GPRS, the 2G internet thing which you might be thinking of. Todays' Instagram generation may not have even heard of this GPRS thing.
No, I am not underestimating your knowledge at all.
Today everyone knows about a GPS that comes inbuilt with your smartphone, but only a few people know about actual GPS device, a dedicated one, which does not need any sim card, it just works directly with the satellites for free. No subscription required. No monthly or yearly payments required.
Many of them are already using it, your car GPS is a good example, that you use it in your cars for navigating in cities and remote areas. Of course, you need to update your maps every year, but that's a breeze.
Here in this article, I am not focusing on that car GPS; I am focusing on the handheld GPS, which you can carry in your palms, which can be with you all the time, which can be on your waist belt as shown in the photograph below or in your pocket.
GPS does not need any internet; it comes with inbuilt maps, which works directly with the satellite. No paying any charges. All you need to do is, buy the GPS which costs from 80 dollars for a basic one and 150 dollars for a good one.
Just google 'Handheld GPS,' and you will get a good amount of search results showing pictures, prices, and videos for many brands and models.
In all my globetrotting journey of 47 countries, I've always relied upon my Handheld GPS. I've been using GPS in India since 2004. This was the time when very few people in India knew about GPS and its working mechanism.
There are five reasons I would suggest every traveler should have a handheld GPS for navigation.
1) The battery of the GPS would last for 16 hours, I mean 16 hours of actual navigation, that is for 1 to 2 days efficiently. Whereas the Smartphone battery would last no longer than 3 or 4 hours if you are using it for navigation. Even if you are using offline maps, your phone has to still receive and process the satellite signal for updating the coordinates, that is latitude and longitude.
2) The batteries are replaceable very quickly, I mean you can carry 2 AA batteries and change it easily. If you don't have one, you can buy it from the market in an emergency, if charging facility is not available near you. But I always carry an extra pair of batteries with a charger. I keep it for overnight charging, so that next day morning I am good to go with a backup pair.
3) You can save any location in your GPS, which you can use it again to revisit that spot. You can also share it with other travellers. For example, a food joint or a roadside vendor.
4) You can create a route well in advance, like for example, your first place to visit will be let's say a museum, then 2nd point would be a gallery, then a famous restaurant you wish to have your lunch that day, then it could be a theatre or a park, Then another tourist attractions like a disc or a pub, and finally returning back to your hostel.
Every city I visit, I've always created a route early in the morning, and just started walking with my GPS covering all major attractions. This way I also get to see daily life on the road.
For the tourist's spots which are a bit far away, I would take a bus/tram or a metro next day reaching out to the corners & suburbs of the city.
There are big cities like London and Barcelona where you need more than a week to explore. But I did it in 4 days; this was possible ONLY BECAUSE of my GPS.
5) The last point I want to mention here is, while you are walking in the city visiting places, you can record your whole route in your GPS with just one button, and this way when you come back, you have an entire path recorded for you in a small file, with size less than 50kb.
You can share this file with other travellers and friends. You can also contribute this file on the internet forums and travel communities.
The GPS also shows you how much you've walked today, in how much time. It can show you the same for your whole trip unless you reset it.
It also shows you the altitude, compass and the timings of sunrise and sunset. The GPS can be used on-road & off-road, in a flight, on a boat and everywhere.
The aircraft that did not have the facility to display the flight path, altitude, speed, the distance remaining and more, I just ON my GPS and hold it on the Window for 2 seconds, and it shows me everything. I am doing this since 2004. Once a flight attendant asked me what is this, I gave it to her and said ma'am it's a GPS, she returned it to me, but then immediately I saw her walking to the front of the aircraft, reaching out to that in-flight communication phone and talking to someone, maybe she was asking the pilot about GPS, which she might not have heard of until now. Sorry, I can't name the airline, but the year was 2005.
I remember when I had travelled to Brunei, my hostel was actually on an island, and it was a tent accommodation. Wherein I had to take a boat, the moment I landed on the island, not a single sign of any human, and no shops. This GPS helped me to reach my accommodation after walking for a good 400 meters.
Every time I booked my hostel/hotel, I save the coordinates in my GPS that is the exact longitude and latitude; this way I do not have to ask for the direction to my hostel. All I have to do is select the destination and tap (click) on the 'GO' button and just start walking and follow the directions given by my GPS. By the way if you go off-route it warns you immediately, asking you to come back to the route or if you have gone too far, it reroutes itself with new instructions to follow, to bring you back on the original route.
The moment I am out of the Airport, Railway or Bus Station or a Jetty, I know exactly where to walk and how far, saving time and money.
This is how GPS helped me travelling in more than 70+ cities in 47 countries.
I never pay thousands of rupees for activating the international roaming facility on my sim card.
In fact, by purchasing this GPS, I've saved a hell lot of money on my transportation, navigation and touring places and the city.
Of course, the season you choose for travelling to a particular country or a city also matters. I mean I always travel in shoulder seasons.
You cannot walk for 2 kilometers in April or May in Rajasthan (India); if you do, you are done for the day, ending up in a cafe, sipping iced lemon water. So choosing the right month to travel is also essential while you are planning.
The best part is, the GPS is entirely waterproof, that means I also use it for the local treks in Sahyadri Mountains near Mumbai and the Himalaya.
So this was my experience about navigating without internet and paper maps using a handheld GPS device. What's yours? Did you ever use any handheld GPS for your travelling, what is the best thing you liked? Please share with me by commenting below or writing an email. I would love to read it.

Fall Call
Ronna Edelstein
The phone call came just as Dad and I had finished lunch and were about to enjoy some window-shopping at the mall. It was the nursing home informing us that Ma had again fallen out of bed and was again being taken by ambulance to a nearby emergency room.
By the time Dad and I reached the ER, Ma was in a state of panic. "Where am I?" she kept repeating. Her mind, lost in the fog of dementia, could not deal with the unfamiliar surroundings, sounds and people. She recognized neither Dad nor me, and she could not digest our words of comfort. By the time Ma was returned to her room in the nursing home, all three of us were emotionally drained.
I understand the need for such phone calls; there are legal and medical reasons why family members must be informed when a loved one falls. But five calls in four weeks, followed by five trips to the ER, seem too much. The facility needs to understand that if Ma slid from her bed, which was set low to the floor, onto the carpeted floor, it did not necessarily require emergency medical treatment. We had even asked for guardrails to be put up, but we were told that such devices could be more dangerous than protective.
Taking a person with dementia to a different environment is upsetting for the individual. Perhaps, in such cases, the staff of a facility could notify family members of a fall and then let the family members decide what action to take. Of course, a fall that causes an obvious break is not up for debate, but the falls Ma experienced should not have been perceived as dire medical situations that took ER time away from people with real emergencies.
Dad and I could not convince the facility to listen to our concerns. Ma kept slipping out of bed, and the phone calls kept coming. Every disruption to her routine further diminished Ma--further pushed her into a mental maze from which she never emerged.
I appreciate a facility that cares, but I also welcome "reasonable caring" that does not create more physical and mental health problems for the patient--and the family.

Such a sad tale of needless overreaction and underprotrectio n . When my father spent his last 2 weeks in a hospice, he was weak and could easily have fallen day after day from his bed. What helped him was the spending all his time in a bed with guardrails. When he tried to defeat this by climbing over them and fell bruising himself , they strapped him to his bed. He said that made him feel like he was in a concentration camp. This also was sad. The article here is very well written.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when the corporate romance sours in a merger or acquisition. Post-closing disputes in mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") are complex, costly and time-consuming. In the courtship stage of an M&A deal, the parties may overlook differences, the seller being intoxicated with dreams of impending wealth and the buyer being blinded by the target's attractive cash flow. After the completion of the deal, however, the fever may break, and significant disputes may arise. How these post-closing M&A disputes are resolved will impact the parties' relationship.

Health ATM: Bridging wellness gap in UP hinterland: By Virendra Singh Rawat
Lucknow / July 12, 2021:The ATM (automated teller machine) truly revolutionized the banking sector globally by transferring the power of withdrawing money to the account holder without the trappings of time and space.
The ATM concept is now being adopted in Uttar Pradesh, albeit in an entirely different and uncanny setting. The state government has prepared a blueprint of setting up 'Health ATMs' across the state, primarily in the hinterland, to bridge the wellness gap in the community.
The novel scheme is aimed at diversifying the primary healthcare sector and expanding medical facilities. Automated health checkup or Health ATMs will be set up at the community health centres (CHC) and primary health centres (PHC), which are the nerve centres of the state healthcare and wellness firmament.
UP CM Yogi Adityanath has instructed top officials to chalk out a pragmatic action plan and install walk-in free medical kiosks equipped with integrated medical devices for basic vitals, cardiology, neurology, pulmonary testing, gynaecology, basic laboratory testing and emergency facilities, staffed by a medical attendant in all 75 districts of UP.
They will perform checkups on 59 parameters including Body Mass Index (BMI), bone mass, body hydration, pulse rate, muscle mass, blood pressure, hemoglobin, metabolic age, weight, height, temperature, basal metabolic rating, visceral fat, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, etc.
Presiding over a high-level meeting, Yogi has also ordered for ensuring that the training of technicians was completed at the earliest in order to expedite the process of rolling out the ATMs. The scheme will also create job opportunities in rural areas.
Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, the UP government has been taking innovative measures to provide primary healthcare facilities in the remotest regions and villages. In this context, the Health ATMs will provide quick and convenient preventive health screening and help in enabling the state in providing accessible medicare at the grassroots level.
These ATMs will empower consumers to be more cognizant about their health and also connect patients with certified doctors using high-definition video conferencing, digital medical devices, and web/mobile applications.
Moreover, medical advice will be given to people undergoing tests. OPD-like facilities will be available in Health ATMs, and diet charts according to disease as also ways to reduce mental stress will also be dispensed.
Since most doctors do not want to serve in far-flung areas, the concept of Health ATMs will enable technology in bridging this gap by providing healthcare to the rural populace. These smart machines will be able to diagnose a medical condition in about 16 minutes and dispense pills for free.
Meanwhile, several industry groups have expressed their willingness to provide Health ATMs to the government.

We plan to take a squad of 12x u18 players born 2001/2002 to a tournament in Valladolid this Christmas 27-30 December.
The tournament will feature some of the best youth teams in Spain as well as teams from France.
"This will be a high calibre tournament so we will be recruiting a select squad only to represent Hornets. This will be great exposure for those that do get selected".
For more information on this contact Head Coach, Lee McCarthy.
Our u18 boys also returned from the Hakeem Olajuwon Camp in Birmingham 30 Jul to 3rd August.
The NBA legend himself was in attendance watching over all the proceedings and had also flown in his own specialist coach from Houston, Coach Donte Mathis.
Also in attendance were current BBL coaches, former BBL legendary players and current top youth coaches from around the country. The days were long and gruelling and really pushed the players physically, mentally and technically. Our very own Filipe Cascais-Davis was presented the ultimate award of the camp "Camper of the week" for this his second year in attending the camp.
Our u14 boys returned from their recent tour in Spain 21-29 July.
The Roberto Morentin Camp is a bilingual camp for both boys and girls. The boys got to experience some Spanish culture whilst speaking the universal language of basketball.
Cistierna in Spain is an amazing place surrounded by mountains and the beauty of nature. Two practices per day plus evening fixtures set the tone for a full on camp which all benefited from. The boys got to experience another level of basketball that they can aspire to.
All NL Fixtures will also take place at the above venue.


Since Phenylketonuria's (PKU) treatment introduction in 1950's by Dr. Horst Bickel, many advances were made. In fact, one of the major contributions to PKU was the implementation of a phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet, remaining the cornerstone of treatment. The Phe-restricted diet consists of natural protein supplemented with protein substitutes (PS). Phe-free amino acid mixtures (AAM) are still the most common PS used to treat patients with PKU, despite the recent emergence of glycomacropeptide-based PS (GMP). GMP is an intact protein derived from cheese making process. There may be metabolic discrepancies between AAM and GMP, particularly at gycidic metabolism level. Several mechanisms can explain these differences, such as, the incretins release and the gut microbiota. Nevertheless, the scientific evidence is still scarce. This project comprises animal and clinical studies.
The main objective of the present research is to understand the effect of different nitrogen sources used for the treatment of PKU on metabolism.
3) To compare the gut microbiota of PKU patients with different treatments (Task 3).

Q: How to deal with opening/closing files in Embedded C (STM32)? I have a question about dealing with files in STM32.
My project requires writing data to microSD card, but i don't know how
to do this to have the best efficiency.
My embedded program is like:
while(1)
{
fopen(filename,"a");

// write data to microSD card and send it via radio module

fclose(filename);
}

I am afraid that this code can be extremely slow, cause opening/closing
file (especially external file on microSD card) in every loop of my program is expensive.
How can I use fopen and fclose to keep code fast, but also to not loose data in program?

A: The slowest part of this system is likely to be the SD card itself. Not only that; it will be variable - it will stream data consistently until it meets some physical or buffer boundary intrinsic to the specific card at which point it will stall for several milliseconds.  Also the cards themselves vary widely, even for the same speed rating.
If you have real-time deadlines, writing to the SD card is ill-advised.  Instead you might do  better to use an RTOS and perform the SD card write in a lower priority task than the radio task, passing the data to the file task via a queue long enough to provide buffering to smooth out the file system latency.
Either way, if you are writing in small chunks, you would improve performance considerably by buffering data and writing in larger chunks that match the filesystem buffer size (typically 512 bytes).  So rather than writing data as it arrives, you'd collate it in a buffer and write it when it reached the optimal chunk size.  If using the RTOS method, you might have one task collating the data from the queue, then a third, even lower priority task with an input queue of at least two blocks to actually write the SD card.

Food For Thought (UB40)
by Jon Kutner • December 6, 2020 • 0 Comments
https://www.jonkutner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Food-For-Thought.mp3
'I don't like reggae, I love it' Graham Goldman once sang on the 10cc number one hit Dreadlock Holiday, he was saying that he doesn't just like reggae, he loves it – especially in the situation he was in – if you know the story behind that song. I love reggae too, but real reggae, not cod reggae which leads me nicely into this week's Single of the Week, the debut hit by UB40.
UB40 had charted just over 50 UK hit singles since their debut in 1980, they had three number ones all of which were cover versions – the nauseating and over played Red Red Wine in 1983, I Got You Babe (with Chrissie Hynde) in 1985 and (I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You in 1994. Their highest charting self-penned song was 1985's Don't Break My Heart which reached number three followed by the number four peak of Food for Thought.
The latter was released as a double A-side in March 1980 with another self-penned track, King which was written about Martin Luther King, but it was Food for Thought that received the majority of radio play, all thanks initially to Peter Powell and John Peel who championed them in their early days.
The writing credit on the song is, like all UB40 songs, credited to all members of the band regardless of who actually laid the music down or the lyrics. "We've always done that," Robin Campbell told Songwriting in 2013. "The whole band's credited for everything. That was a decision we made right at the beginning, because it seemed obvious that many bands fall out over who gets what song on what album, and the end result is that people all have to get a song or two on each album so they're earning, and we just felt it watered down the quality. We had three or four strong lyricists and the whole band did the music, so we decided early on that whoever wrote any particular lyric, we would always credit the whole band and share it equally. I think that's maybe part of the reason we've lasted so long. What seems to be one of the biggest causes of splits is over musical differences but from bands I've spoken to, very often it's financial differences. So, from day one, we decided that wasn't going to be a source of argument between us."
It was actually Robin who penned the song and in the same interview he explained how it came about, "I wrote the lyrics, then I brought them to the band and we sat around and worked it to music. That's usually how it works. Sometimes the lyrics might be written by more than one person, but often it's one person that brings a lyric to the band, generally without a melody. As a band we just jam and record stuff that we like, and then it'll be like okay, we've now got 25 backing tracks, we've got to come up with some lyrics! And we go away and come back with a bunch of 'em and select the ones we like between us. When Ali was with the band he was often the tunesmith: he would take the lyrics and fit them to an instrumental that we'd already come up with. That was our songwriting routine, pretty arse-backwards really compared to other people!"
The inspiration for the song came from the massacre of Kampuchea – now Cambodia. The state of Kampuchea was controlled by a Communist party whose members was known as Khmer Rouge. They had their own Army who killed anyone who opposed them. I actually wrote it in my flat in Birmingham, just before Christmas, so it's actually a Christmas song! Or rather, it's inspired by the hypocrisy of Christmas, the fact that there are starving people in Africa and here we are all sat around eating our Christmas dinner and praising the Lord. People are still dying every day, every minute while we're doing it."
It's a well-known fact that they took their name from the form which is to be completed by someone claiming unemployment benefit called the Unemployment Benefit Form 40, also known as signing on. It confused me initially as to whether their debut album, which was called Signing Off, was an error or just a play on words. To be honest, I'm still not sure.
Some of the lyrics in UB40 songs can be hard to decipher in the way Ali Campbell sings them, for example, the opening line of Food for Thought is Ivory Madonna which is often misheard as I'm a Prime-Donna or I Believe in Donna or other similar lines. Apparently, the band had a big debate about its subtlety before recording the final version and Robin Campbell said he "Regretted being too ambiguous. I find it incredible that people can't understand it and that upsets me. I think the symbolism's quite obvious. But now I'm concerned about writing too subtly," he explained.
The Campbell brothers came from a musical family; their father was Ian Campbell who had a folk group and their cover of Bob Dylan's The Times They Are a Changin' just missed the top 40 in 1965. Ian died in 2012 aged 79.
The UB40 sound was that of lead singer Ali Campbell who left the group in 2008 stating that for many years he had been unhappy with the business practices and managers of UB40 and launched an investigation into the financial handling of the business. A few months later the keyboard player Michael Virtue did likewise for the same reasons. Original members Robin Campbell, Jimmy Brown, Earl Falconer, Norman Hassan and Brian Travers continue as UB40 but then six years later he reunited with Virtue and toaster Astro went on to form another version of the group called UB40 featuring Ali, Astro & Mickey.

The first teaser trailer for the Aaron Sorkin-penned Steve Jobs movie went live this weekend. It's brief, but we get our first look at the actors as the major players, including Michael Fassbender as Steve himself.
While Fassbender doesn't look exactly like Jobs, he seems to have the voice down. Just listen to the cadence, the pitch, the timbre....it's amazing. I'm also eager to see Seth Rogen as Woz, and I'm always up for a Kate Winslet performance. She's great.


Goody Bags Image Jennifer D.
Goody bags themselves have always presented a conundrum to me. On the one had, apparently it is a sin to send kids home from a party without one. On the other hand, they are usually filled with junk that ends up cluttering up geekette's room. Goody bags at our house have been known to disappear and then mysteriously reappear with only the useful things still inside. I call it the goody bag yeti. My daughter was convinced we had a yeti living in our backyard when she was little so let's just go with that. (She used to be convinced we had an ice troll in our freezer too, but that is another story).
Decorative Tin Pail : the ones at Target were Yoda and one with Luke, Vader, Emperor, Yoda, the Death Star, and the Millennium Falcon.
A stress ball in the shape of C3PO's head or Vader's head. C'mon, first grade can be stressful.
A pair of ink pens: one with Yoda and one with Obi Wan Kenobi. When you click the button, it scrolls through several of their respective quotes.

In addition to these items, each child gets to take home their own pool noodle lightsaber. If you really want to up the ante for the saber battles, print off some masks for the kids. They have characters from the original series, Revenge of the Sith, and Clone Wars. For Star Wars specific goody items, you can check out the craft pages at StarWars.com. They have a ton of ideas not just for goody bags but also crafts you could do as activities at the party. Today's Mama also has some excellent ideas on goody bag fodder for other themed parties.

On 8 October 2010, a small private plane of tail number C-GOYV registered to a Toronto resident made an emergency landing on Highway 407 close to Buttonville Municipal Airport.
The closest airport to Buttonville Airport (YKZ) is Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ), which is located only 16 miles (26 kilometers) S of YKZ.
Because of Buttonville Airport's relatively low elevation of 650 feet, planes can take off or land at Buttonville Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
Buttonville Airport (YKZ) has 2 runways.
The furthest airport from Buttonville Airport (YKZ) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,402 miles (18,350 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
The new tower was designed and built using a modular design enabling the facility to be relocated in the future.

The kids are safe. They always have been.
It may sound strange, given a year of panic over school closures and reopenings, a year of masking toddlers and closing playgrounds and huddling in pandemic pods, that, according to the CDC, among children the mortality risk from COVID-19 is actually lower than from the flu. The risk of severe disease or hospitalization is about the same.
This is true for the much-worried-over Delta variant. It is also true for all the other variants, and for the original strain. Most remarkably, it has been known to be true since the very earliest days of the pandemic — indeed it was among the very first things we did know about the disease. The preliminary mortality data from China was very clear: To children, COVID-19 represented only a vanishingly tiny threat of death, hospitalization, or severe disease.
Yet for a year and a half we have been largely unwilling to fully believe it. Children now wear masks at little-league games, and at the swimming pool, and when school reopens in the fall they will likely wear masks there, too. But the kids are not at risk themselves, and never were. Now, thanks to vaccines, the vast majority of their parents and grandparents aren't any longer, either.
But first: the kids. Over the course of the pandemic, 49,000 Americans under the age of 18 have died of all causes, according to the CDC. Only 331 of those deaths have been from COVID — less than half as many as have died of pneumonia. In 2019, more than 2,000 American kids and teenagers died in car crashes; each year, according to some estimates, about a thousand die from drowning.
Some of these comparisons aren't so neat, since the data on other diseases and accidents are sometimes unreliable, and because the extraordinary precautions against COVID-19 probably prevented significant additional spread (and also suppressed the spread of other diseases). But, last year, fewer kids died of COVID-19 than of heart disease, "malignant neoplasms," suicide, and homicide — not to mention birth defects, which killed hundreds of times more. All told, 600,000 Americans have lost their lives to COVID over the course of the pandemic; just 0.05 percent of those were under the age of 18, a population that represents more than 20 percent of the country's population as a whole...
Wonderful to see this -- what many have known for a long time -- so clearly stated!

The apartments are very welcoming, finely furnished, linked in the furnishing details and in the murals by a single chromatic and stylistic thread.
The villa is composed of three distinct locations and represents the ideal setting to meet the needs of any type of event.
In the magical Tuscan countryside, between Castelnuovo and Poggio a Caiano, rises in the complex of Villa Alamanni: Countryhouse "La Rugea – Le Spighe". A suggestive avenue of pines and secular oaks flanked by cypress trees, leads to this ancient noble residence of the late sixteenth century Baroque style.
The structure consists of three locations with consecrated church, private gate and parking. The apartments, in rustic style, are characterized by furnishings and frescoes by the author that give the guest the typical warmth of Tuscan stays.
The complex is surrounded by 5 hectares of countryside, two parks of 3000 meters. The property has two outdoor swimming pools, Etruscan-Roman nature tepidarium with whirlpool, gym, two barbecue areas and a jogging path. Ideal stay to live in the countryside, typical of the former Grand Duchy, a stone's throw from the city.
I stayed in one of the three new rooms recently opened by the hotel… Beautiful room, treated in detail. An excellent middle ground between an apartment and a room. Congratulations also to the staff that opened the structure out of hours to allow us to take the room.
What can I say, lovely place, made our wedding a fairy tale of 1000 and one night. Very nice and very nice, special decorations and really lovely. A fairy tale! A heartfelt thanks from the spouses!
We celebrated our wedding at the stables. Lovely place, fabulous! Rita was very good at setting up the whole garden and the equipment! Everything was perfect!

As of 2013, the Illinois National Guard has approximately 13,200 members. The National Guard is the only United States military force empowered to function in a state status. The Constitution of the United States specifically charges the National Guard with dual federal and state missions.
How does the Illinois National Guard work?
The Guard dates back to 1636, when Citizen-Soldiers formed militias to defend community and country. And for 377 years, the Guard has stayed true to its roots. Enlisting in the National Guard means more time at home. Training typically requires one weekend each month, with a two-week training period once each year.
How long do National Guard deployments last?
Although they are "part-time" warriors, members of the National Guard still make a big commitment when they enlist, which includes agreeing to deploy for missions at home and abroad. Typically, domestic deployments can last up to 60 days while overseas deployments can last up to a year.
Benefit Fact Sheet. In most cases, Soldiers who have completed 20 years of active service are eligible to receive Retired Pay at the end of their career. The Date of Initial Entry into Military Service (DIEMS) determines which of the three retirement systems a Soldier falls under.
Individuals serving in the U.S. Army National Guard or Air National Guard are not considered active-duty service members. However, they can be called up to active duty at any time, depending on the needs of the military.

Also -- to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.
[To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.
For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.
The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it].
For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.
In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge -- have embraced a rock.
They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.
Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry -- have taken away a sheaf.
Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.
Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.
They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.
At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.
When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.
Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol [those who] have sinned.
Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.
And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.
He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.
High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.
And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

In this episode, we welcome Mohammad, founder of Patients Know Best. The platform is a patient-controlled medical record system with numerous features for users, including seeing results, communicating with health professionals, and sharing the medical record with family or friends. Learn about Mohammad's early journey into creating software, how the company has grown to securing contracts which serve up to 2.3 million patients, and how they have started utilising the benefits of blockchain.
– How the journey to Patients Know Best began?
– What is Patients Know Best?
How the journey to Patients Know Best began?
Whilst completing his A-levels, Mohammed read a book called Chaos, which was about nonlinear mathematics. It described chaotic systems like the weather, the earth's geosphere, the immune system and the economy. It explained how chaos influenced each system. However, there wasn't anything about chaotic systems and how to program the model of the human body in the book. This sparked some interest into software and Mohammed decided to learn about it.
When a patient attends the hospital for an appointment, the doctors will inform them that they can have access to their records. They are asked if they want to register and 70-90% of patients do agree. The registration process simply involves an email address and password. From then on, you get access to your data although it depends on which hospitals you've visited.
The platform offers the ability to share all or certain parts of your information to family members or friends. Some incredible features include adding a Fitbit, connecting a glucose monitor, and you can also message your clinical team.
In the UK, there are at least 4 main primary care IT systems, 6 main hospital IT system, and now there are over 100 connectable health devices. Once Patients Know Best connects to one of these systems or devices, it starts to work instantly. The PKB platform is upgraded weekly.
Patients Know Best operates as a software as a service business. There is a subscription fee paid by the health institution – The calculation is based on the number of people cared for by the institution.
Patients Know Best will be working with Dovetail Labs which won a research grant from SBRI Health Enterprise East, where they have built blockchain software to manage healthcare data – They have used blockchain to move data around from primary and secondary care settings.
Blockchain technology is extremely powerful and it will dominate the healthcare and research industry in coming years according to Mohammad.

Merely A One-Way Transaction: The Emotional Management Of Organ Donation
Guest Writer: Stephanie Parsons
There are currently around 6,500 people on the UK transplant waiting list and nearly 500 people died last year waiting for a transplant (NHSBT online). National Health Service Blood and Transplant desperately need more people to sign up the donor register. Recently an 'opt-out' consultation was introduced in England in the hope of saving thousands of lives waiting for an organ transplant. Under this new system, it would be assumed that individuals are prepared to donate their organs unless they, or their family, state otherwise. Around 1000 families say no to organ donation each year and it is hoped that with a new opt-out system, England's donation rates will improve.
Spain is currently hailed as one of the leading countries for organ donation with positive rates of deceased donations under their opt-out system. However, more evidence is needed in England and Wales to suggest that changing legal infrastructure and donation policies will lead to any improvement in donation rates. For example, a part of NHS Blood and Transplant's (2017) campaign to promote donation is through 'gift of life' rhetoric and 'have you had the conversation?' This is aimed at encouraging families to have a natural discussion on their wishes after they die about organ donation. Encouraging dialogue with families may be the first step to improving donation rates. However, media campaigns for transplantation represent donation as being solely the donor's decision. Individuals have a donor card and they decide which organs/tissue they would like to donate. Although, in many cases, it is the family that determine whether a donation is made on behalf of their loved one, even with an opt-out system.
The organ donation system is much more complex and current media campaigns and transplant literature fail to highlight the emotional distress of organ transfer that can cause 'blockages' in the procedure. Organ donation is represented as a straightforward, step- by- step process that uses 'gift of life' discourse to help simplify the process and does not reflect the complexity of transplantation (Sque and Payne, 2007). Such emotional complexities can arguably hinder the process, especially when it comes to organ recipient and donor family contact post-organ transfer, an area in which NHSBT are aiming to encourage more recipients to write a thank you letter to their donor family. Ultimately, NHSBT would like all recipients to write to their donor family and would like to boost the number of letters being written.
In order to better understand the emotional complexities of recipient and donor family contact, a part of my research explored how organ recipients felt about writing a thank you letter to their donor family and if they wanted further communication with them. It was found that recipients had mixed feelings about letter writing and potential contact with their donor families. From the recipients interviewed, some of them discussed how they wrote a letter but did not receive a response. Others said they had written a letter but did not want a response and one participant had received four transplants but has never written a thank you letter.
The research also considered how donor family's felt about receiving a thank you letter from recipients. It examined whether family's wanted a letter and if they also wanted to create a dialogue between themselves and organ recipients.
For example, one of my participants Shaun (all names are pseudonyms) had received his transplant around ten years ago and when we talked about him about having contact with his donor family he said that he did write a letter but he did not want to know whether they had received it and did not want any contact with the family.
''I didn't want his family to think that his family have an association with me. I just didn't feel I could face that because I think it could be extremely difficult and that's what I decided to do, I don't know if they had the letter or not I decided that I didn't want to know and they do with the letter as they wish.'
Shaun also discussed how he did not want his donor family to live vicariously through him or feel that they could have a say in how he lives his life. Similarly to Shaun, Alex, another organ recipient, discussed how he felt he could not write the letter of thanks himself and instead asked his partner to write it for him. He also did not want any contact with his donor family.
'I recognise that it is probably selfish of me but I don't know. I would have to sit and think seriously even if they wanted contact now after all this time. At the time it was just one more thing on top of everything else and it was something that I didn't have to think about, so I didn't. I won't call it baggage because that is an unkind reflection on the donor family but it is just something I didn't consider and didn't want to.'
In contrast, from the donor family's interviewed, they discussed how they would be happy to hear from any of the organ recipients that benefited from the donation made from their deceased loved one. However, families suggested that by donating it meant that their loved one did not die in vain but donation did not help with their grief.
'We could get in touch with them (organ recipients) but we're not chasing them, the organs belong to them. We have seen people meet up and behave in a strange way. If people get in touch with us fine, but we won't with them, it is their life' (Simon).
It is apparent that organ recipients and donor families each have their own individual expectations of what they expect from the letter writing process. It is clear that relationships are ambivalent and complicated. The research highlights how the lived experiences of organ donation challenge 'set scripts'. For example, Lesley Sharp (2006, pp.109-110) suggests that 'organ recipients develop specialised ways to tell their personal stories, their words and actions bound by taboos placed on emotional outbursts'. My research offers an insight into the emotional complexity of organ donation and sheds light on the lack of information on contact between organ recipients and donor family's. It is this type of information that has been pushed off the agenda in order to focus on encouraging successful donation rates. However, the research also shows that emotions are problematic within transplantation and these findings can help to think about what are deemed to be 'appropriate' relationships between donor families and recipients. It highlights the tensions of the emotional management of suffering during the process and discusses the effects of such boundaries in terms of revealing more of the ways in which experiences of relationships, loss and suffering are both construed and denied in the organisation of organ transplantation and donation.

Stephanie Parsons is an associate lecturer in Sociology at Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge. She is currently in the final year of her PhD which focuses on the emotional management of suffering during the organ transplantation process. Stephanie will be presenting alongside a team from NHSBT in March 2018 at the British Transplantation Society where she will be discussing her findings in relation to encouraging contact between organ recipients and donor family's and how to better understand the complexities of such contact.

SoftBank to Establish "Beyond AI Institute"
SoftBank (Tokyo) — The University of Tokyo and SoftBank Corp. today announced an agreement to establish the Beyond AI Institute, a new research facility that will gather the world's best minds and launch programs to develop businesses with research results.
The Beyond AI Institute aims to be an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) research organization that brings together top-level researchers from the University of Tokyo and leading universities abroad. The institute will conduct fundamental research for key AI technology and for incorporating research from other academic fields. Using these fundamental research results, applied research will be conducted for the purpose of utilizing AI to address issues facing society and industry. Along with linking fundamental research areas to applied research domains, for business development the Beyond AI Institute will actively utilize the Collaborative Innovation Partnership (CIP) system that was newly formulated by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which enables universities and companies to rapidly set up joint ventures.
Through the Beyond AI Institute, the University of Tokyo and SoftBank Corp. will contribute to Japan's AI research and AI-related businesses to lead Japan's AI revolution.
Specific Initiatives
(1) Advanced AI research conducted by top level researchers from the University of Tokyo and universities abroad. To forge new AI-related fundamental research areas such as the radical evolution of AI enabled by quantum physics and the combination of AI and biofunctions, researchers at the University of Tokyo involved in physics and medical fields—areas that the university excels in—will be assigned to the institute to realize AI integration. In conjunction with this, researchers at top universities abroad will be brought on board to create a world-class team that conducts advanced AI fundamental research.
(2) Commercialization of research results using new joint venture system. Promising results from fundamental research will be passed on to applied research for application to fields such as "Health and Medical," "Public Works and Social Infrastructure" and "Manufacturing." Furthermore, the CIP system, which makes it possible to rapidly set up joint ventures between universities and companies, will be utilized to commercialize research. Using this system will create an ecosystem where it will be possible to quickly envision commercialization through joint ventures at the research stage and invest returns from business ventures into future research activities. This will in turn contribute to the nurturing of next-generation AI experts and educational activities (The Beyond AI Institute will also collaborate with Deepcore Inc., Innovation Platform for The University of Tokyo Inc. and related venture capital companies in forming ventures).
(3) Research facilities to be located at University of Tokyo's Hongo Campus and the future SoftBank headquarters in Takeshiba. The research facility dedicated to fundamental research will be located in the University of Tokyo's Hongo Campus and the research facility for applied research will be established at the future SoftBank headquarters in Takeshiba, which is expected to open during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. These two locations will be linked by the Science and Information Network (SINET) that is run by the National Institute of Informatics (NII) to build a structure that enables seamless transitions from research to commercialization.

LA Councilman Condemns Rioters Who Targeted Dozens of Jewish Businesses

Councilmember Paul Koretz
Following the May 30 riots in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles—part of nationwide protests after the May 25 death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American, while in police custody in Minneapolis—Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz (D-District 5) publicly condemned the targeting of Jewish institutions as a result.
"The attack on our community last night was vicious and criminal. Fairfax is the center of the oldest Jewish community in Los Angeles," Koretz said in a statement. "As we watched the fires and looting, what didn't get covered were the anti-Semitic hate crimes and incidents."
Congregation Beth El was vandalized with graffiti stating "Free Palestine" and "[Expletive] Israel." The Baba Sale Congregation, in the same area, was spray-painted during the protests. It wasn't the first time that such words had been scrawled on the synagogue; a similar incident occurred last year on the anniversary of Sept. 11.
Local Jewish businesses were also looted. Syd's Pharmacy, which is Jewish-owned and had a sign advertising "Kosher Vitamins" in its front window, was robbed. The vandals broke the windows, knocked down the pharmacy shelves and stole drugs, including painkillers.
Across the street, the kosher Mensch Bakery and Kitchen, and the Jewish-owned clothing store Go Couture, along with other non-Jewish businesses, were also destroyed in the mass protests and rioting.
"Under the guise of protest, some advanced their anti-Semitic agenda," said Koretz. "Synagogues and Jewish institutions were graffitied with anti-Semitic slogans and vandalized."
He also took issue with how the statue of Raoul Wallenberg, who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazi death camps, was graffitied.
"I condemn these acts, as they are an affront to all people of the Jewish faith," said Koretz. "We must never allow anyone, for any reason, to get away with acts of hate against our community and neighbors."

Maritzburg United showed that they will not go down without a fight on Friday night as they came from behind to beat Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 at Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg.
The Team of Choice are still languishing at the foot of the Premiership with 20 points after 26 games, but they reduced the gap between themselves, Chippa United and Baroka FC to a single point.
They showed character, gallant and resilience in front of a packed Harry Gwala Stadium.
Maritzburg dominated the first stanza as they played in the opposition's territory for the most of the half, but they failed to create any meaningful chances.
Celtic were happy to sit back and allow the hosts to ask all the questions.
Maritzburg played at a frenetic pace, but their decision-making saw them miss out on a goal in the first half.
After the interval, Miguel Timm lost possession cheaply in the middle of the park and Celtic hit them on the transition.
Given Mashikinya found Kabelo Dlamini with a lovely pass, and the latter showed good composure as he sold a dummy to Rushine de Reuck, sending the ball into the path of Menzi Masuku, who finished with aplomb.
The Team of Choice reacted positively after conceding as Thabiso Kutumela rattled the post. He was intending to cross, but the ball changed direction and hit the woodwork.
Eric Tinkler introduced Allan Kateregga in the place of Siphesihle Ndlovu, and the Ugandan made an instant impact with his swift passes.
The former Cape Town City player netted the equaliser 10 minutes before the final whistle.
Maritzburg were piling on all the pressure in the last few minutes, and then Kateregga unleashed a thunderbolt with in the 88th minute to beat Patrick Tignyemb from distance.
It was a goal worth winning any football match.
