Looking to end their five-game homestand on a strong note, the Matadors (7-6, 5-6 MPSF) were unable to keep their momentum after a strong first set, losing to visiting third-ranked Long Beach State (12-4, 10-3) 25-22, 21-25, 22-25, 23-25.
Only trailing twice in the first set, the Matadors were unable to continue their strong opening into the next set.
Jumping out to a 12-6 lead in the second set, the 49ers held off multiple comeback attempts by Northridge. Eventually cutting the lead to 22-21, CSUN was unable to get any closer as Long Beach got a pair of blocks and a kill to take the set.
"We didn't pass particularly well, and we allowed Long Beach to go on
some point runs, which is a little uncharacteristic of us," said head
coach Jeff Campbell. "But the fact is Long Beach served very well and it
affected our passing, and ultimately that was the reason we couldn't
kill the ball."
The 49ers led by as many as six during the third set, and again the Matadors were unable to mount much of a threat to the 49ers lead. Northridge got as close as two throughout the set, and Long Beach put the set away on a kill.
Pushing for a fifth and deciding set, Northridge looked as though they might do it, taking the lead at 17-16 after a Long Beach error. The Matadors eventually won a few long rallies putting them up 23-21, but it wasn't enough to stop the 49ers. Long Beach went on a four-point streak, winning on a junior outside hitter Taylor Crabb kill to finish the match. Crabb led the 49ers with 22 kills for the night.
"They served aggressively but they kept it in. They made us make the
play and that was something we struggled with all night," said senior opposite John Baker. "We definitely had a lot of opportunities to close it off and we just missed those opportunities,"
Starting the night strong, the Matadors hit .318 in the first set, but struggled as the night went on hitting .167, .056 and .135. Neither team hit the ball well, both teams had 15 service errors and their were five aces total.
"At a certain point something was always off. We never really had a good pass to a good set and to a good hit," Baker said. "I know I made a lot of errors I don't normally make, which sucks, but there was always something that went wrong."
Leading the Matadors in kills with 14, Baker hit .216 in 37 attempts, but struggled with six service errors. Junior outside hitter Brandon Lebrock had 12 kills, but had an off night, hitting only .030 in 33 attempts.
Overall Long Beach outhit Northridge .231 to .152 and led with 50 kills to the Matadors 49.

The CDC has released a warning for doctors to screen patients with flu-like symptoms for the pneumonic plague, after ISIS has threatened biological warfare.
The disease, caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, most often is transmitted to humans through rodent flea bites or by handling infected animals. Pneumonic plague differs from bubonic plague in its symptoms and the fact that it can be spread through the air rather than just by contact.
Usually associated with the massive waves of "black death" that swept across Europe during the Middle Ages, the plague still occurs occasionally in the United States, though it is treatable with modern antibiotics.
Although the disease is treatable, terrorists may try to catch people off guard. Pneumonic plague is one of the most pathogenic microbes in the world. Symptoms are sudden and similar to a violent flu, followed by lessions in the groin, armpit, and neck lessons. Eventually the fingers and toes turn black from lack of circulation followed by uncontrollable seizures and death within 36 hours. The CDC advises anyone with these symptoms insist they are tested for pneumonic plague.
The mosquito-born Zika virus is rapidly spreading throughout the Americas and is expected to soon reach the Southern United States.
CDC representative James Levine, M.D. warns, "This virus is like a combination of malaria and Lyme disease. Symptoms include fever, rash, fatigue, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and temporary paralysis. We also suspect a relationship between the Zika infection and malformations and neurological birth defects. We recommend that any that suspect they may have been afflicted with the virus delay pregnancy for at least two years.
Residents of Florida and Georgia are advised to be on alert as early as April 2016. Since the Zika virus is spreading so rapidly through mosquito populations, the CDC warns there is a chance the virus will have reached each side of the country, from Oregon to Maine, by August.


About 1km west of the beach town of Cabarete, and a 1km walk from the main road, are the caves that form part of the Natural Monument Cabarete and Goleta Lagoons (also known as El Choco National Park). Access is through a lush tropical jungle, up man-made steps, and then down through a passage to a natural Jacuzzi, a crystal clear pond in the middle of the earth. The caves in this area are the result of geological formations where sinkholes, disappearing streams, and underground caverns, often filled with water, are found beneath relatively flat landscapes. There are several caves in the area, some accessible with a one to three hour hike. Horse ranches take visitors on tours into the park to observe the numerous edible tropical fruit plants and the vast variety of birds.
10/11/2009 phillip good One of the longest caves here, about 800mtrs. A classic cenote sinkhole, locals hang out an swim there. Big cavern zone really grandiose tunnels. the cave is also very cool has dark colored walls, very weird vibe. Discovered and mapped by Dennis Bourret and Bobby Pritchet.

A PERFECT COMBO GIFT FOR RAKSHABANDHAN FESTIVAL. CUSHION, MUG, KEYCHAIN, RAKHI AND KUMKUM TIKKA. The name Raksha Bandhan means "the bond of protection". The festival (also known as Rakhi) celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. During the festival, sisters tie a rakhi (a holy thread) around their brother's wrists. The brother in return vows to look after his sister, and offers her a gift.


acceptance. Their full-length debut CD appears ready to position the group among adult-oriented rock's elite. However, the story starts well before the November 14, 2000 release of "True North."
For years prior to being signed to a major label deal, Fisher seemingly laid a path for certain stardom. They appeared on the Lilith Fair tour. The duo contributed to various soundtracks, including "Breakable," found here as well side-by-side with fellow Lilith alumna Tori Amos on 1998's "Great Expectations" soundtrack. They worked on the soundtrack for television's "Sweet Valley High."
For months early this year they dominated MP3.com's most requested list--with their songs being downloaded more than 2 million times! Slowly, song by song, they built a fanbase clamoring for a full-scale piece of Fisher's work.
Given their path to acceptance, it's a natural fit that Farmclub.com picked Fisher up. Through its web site and USA Channel television series of the same name, Farmclub.com allows unsigned bands to gain widespread exposure and, possibly, sign a record deal.
That was the case for Fisher, whose Farmclub.com/Interscope debut "True North" was pushed to stores early, fueled by the explosive regional popularity of their first single "I Will Love You." With plaintive, heartfelt lyrics and vocals by Fisher's namesake Kathy Fisher, "I Will Love You" was downloaded from the 'net by a San Diego, CA, radio station and played during afternoon drive time. Soon the station found itself flooded with requests for the track and information on the group. In addition, they've been met with critical success out of the chutes.
"I'm a very open and honest person and I write about relationships," Kathy says. "But I didn't expect this to be such an incredibly emotional experience."
Perhaps she should have. Though the duo is marked by emotive vocals and outstanding production, Fisher's calling card seems to be, unquestionably, in the strength of the writing. Every song paints a picture, tells a story, and speaks from the heart. Listeners can feel the emotion in every song, making the CD a truly spectacular journey.
"True North" pulls reworked songs from Fisher's past, including their 9-track EP "One" and their soundtrack contributions. Each is rerecorded and accompanied by a selection of completely new tracks as well.
Opening with "Hello It's Me," which treads musical territory reminiscent of Apple's "Criminal," and leading into the poignant, sparkling "Any Way" (which leans toward Alanis Morissette . . . before she was hated for over-exposure), "True North" is off to a brilliant start. The group maneuvers swiftly through "The Life," which berates ingrateful rock stars whose lives and careers Fisher would all-too-willingly assume, to "Simi California," a stripped down appraisal of a cheating relationship.
Ultimately, Fisher proves to weave a collection of masterful, captivating and at times melancholy tunes. Fans of Lilith Fair compatriots such as McLachlan, Amos, and others will take an immediate liking to the group. Fans of ingenuity and creative marketing campaigns should check the disc out to simply show support. Fisher is a band to be commended for allowing their creative process to only begin with the recording of a superior album.

Q: Why does this form helper generate two inputs? On a model, I have attr_accessor: :email_settings.
In a view, I have:
<%= form_for some_model do |f| %>
    <%= f.fields_for :email_settings do |email_settings| %>
        <%= email_settings.label :general, _("General updates") %>
        <%= email_settings.check_box :general %>
        General site updates
    <% end %>
<% end %>

But in the HTML, this does not create one input for some_model[email_settings][general], it creates two. One hidden and one a checkbox:
<label for="user_email_settings_general">General updates</label>
<input name="user[email_settings][general]" type="hidden" value="0">
<input id="user_email_settings_general" name="user[email_settings][general]" type="checkbox" value="1">
General site updates

What's going on here? Why is there a hidden input and a checkbox for the same value, when I only want a checkbox?
Also in the controller action that the form is submitted to, I do this:
def update
    puts "email_params: #{email_params}"
end

def email_params
  params.require(:user).permit(:email_settings)
end

Which outputs:
Unpermitted parameters: email_settings
email_params: {}

Not sure how email_settings is being interpreted as "unpermitted" when I'm explicitly permitting it.

A: From the browser should always send a response.
If you do not select the box, will send the hidden field to understand that something has been sent.
In this way the rails will always receive an indication that the box was selected or not.
similar answer is here: Why does the check_box form helper generate two checkboxes, one hidden?

Pay TV declines in 71% of U.S Homes
Although traditional pay TV systems have been severely impacted by cord-cutting, legacy cable, satellite, telco and virtual services still command 71% of TV households, according to new research from Leichtman Research Group.
That said, this number is down from 82% in 2016.
One additional motivation for the decline is consumers who have moved recently.
Forty-one percent of those that moved in the past year do not currently have a pay-TV service — a higher level than in previous years, according to the authors.
The report notes what other surveys have confirmed: Younger consumers of pay TV are leaving, while older TV consumers remain.
Sixty-four percent of 18- to-44-year-olds in TV homes have a pay TV service, compared to 77% five years ago.
Nearly 80% of older TV households — those 45 years or older — still have a pay service.
Other research shows that U.S consumers are not completely abandoning pay TV. Rather, they are adding new streaming services to their home TV services.
The Leichtman results come from a September-October survey of 2,000 U.S. households, with adults 18 years and older.
The random sample of respondents was distributed and weighted to best reflect the demographic and geographic make-up of the U.S., according to the research company.
A second-quarter 2021 estimate from MoffettNathanson Research said there were 84.5 million pay TV subscribers — down 5% from the previous year. For the 2020-2021 TV season, Nielsen says there are 121 million total U.S. TV homes. MediaPost

Q: Django Queryset icontains() method not returning exact match I am trying to filter a model, by passing the text query, and checking if any of the fields contains the value that matches exactly or partially to the given text query.
So let's say I have a model named Sample, which contains char fields ["name", "state", "type"].
Assuming one of the model object has a value of state to set as "barely alive"
I looked at the methods described in the following django doc:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/postgres/search/
I want to retrieve that object by using any of "barely","arely" or "barely alive"as a text query.
I initially tried something like Sample.objects.annotate(search=SearchVector(*list_of_fields)).filter(search__icontains=query_text)
Above line will however, will not return a correct queryset if I pass a full  text barely alive as a query text and only work when partial text such as barely or alive is passed.
So I then tried
Sample.objects.annotate(search=SearchVector(*list_of_fields)).filter(search=query_text).filter(search__icontains=query_text)
But then it returns an empty Queryset.
What am I missing here?

A: PostgreSQL's full text search has quite a few intricacies with regard to partial matching, see e.g. here and here.
However, if you can get by with an OR query as you attempted, it's not difficult, you just need an appropriately constructed Q object instead of two chained filter calls (because filter chaining uses AND, not OR). So instead of
.filter(search=query_text).filter(search__icontains=query_text)

use
.filter(Q(search=query_text) | Q(search__icontains=query_text))

Bishop Duca Issues Guidance on New Coronavirus Vaccines
by Most Rev. Michael G. Duca
Bishop Michael G. Duca of the Diocese of Baton Rouge issued the following statement this evening (March 1, 2021) on the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage populations around the globe. Worldwide over 2.5 million have died. In the United States the death toll is over half a million, with Louisiana's approaching 10,000. Thankfully, vaccines have been developed to reduce the spread and effects of this virulent killer.
In a letter read in all parishes several weeks ago, I explained,
"Vaccines are now being made available to various groups throughout the United States. I have reviewed these remedies along with the Bishops of the United States and we have determined, reinforced by the Holy Father Pope Francis, that receiving the new Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are justifiable and morally acceptable ways to help end this pandemic. Being vaccinated should be considered as an act of charity toward others in our communities. I encourage all of the faithful of the Diocese of Baton Rouge to take this moral evaluation to heart as you make your decision to receive the coronavirus vaccinations as they become available."
I continue to encourage everyone to receive a vaccination, but the new vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has some moral concerns we must acknowledge. Unlike the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, Johnson & Johnson uses a line of stem cells procured from abortions performed over 30 years ago in the production of its vaccine. To the question of whether a person should receive this vaccine in good conscience the Congregation of Doctrine has stated,
"As for the moral responsibility of those who are merely the recipients of the vaccines, the Congregation affirms that a serious health danger could justify use of 'a vaccine which was developed using cell lines of illicit origin, while keeping in mind that everyone has the duty to make known their disagreement and to ask that their healthcare system make other types of vaccines available.'" Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Instruction (Dignitas Humanae), no. 35.
Given our present situation and the need to protect ourselves and one another from this virus, my guidance to the faithful of the Diocese of Baton Rouge is to accept as your first choices the vaccines created by Pfizer and Moderna, but if for any reasonable circumstance you are only able to receive the vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, you should feel free to do so for your safety and for the common good. In addition, I have consulted with Catholic health care representatives, and I understand and appreciate their serious challenges as to the acquisition and equitable distribution of all three vaccines. I therefore support their policy of administering any of the vaccines as circumstances require.
Again, as I have stated in my original letter to the Diocese, "I encourage all of the faithful of the Diocese of Baton Rouge to take this moral evaluation to heart as you make your decision to receive the coronavirus vaccinations as they become available."
With Hope the Lord,
+Michael G. Duca
Bishop of Baton Rouge

NOT THE ENDER?
Eastenders spoilers: Ruby and Stacey visit Dennis Rickman's grave… just days after Nigel Harman hinted he COULD return to soap despite character's death
Nigel appeared on Loose Women to talk about his character last week - and new pictures reveal there will be scenes shot at Dennis' grave
By Bonnie McLaren
THE Eastenders cast have been spotted filming at Dennis Rickman's grave – just days after actor Nigel Harman insisted he could still return to the soap.
Nigel told Loose Women he would like to come back to the show – despite his character getting stabbed to death on New Year's Eve in 2005.

Louisa Lytton, who plays Ruby Allen, and Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey Slater, filmed scenes at the graveside just outside London – paving the way for Dennis's potential comeback.
Sobbing by the graveside, the girls are convinced Dennis is dead – but actor Nigel reckons no-one is ever dead on a soap.
Speaking on ITV, he said Dennis could return because his son with half-sister Sharon (who is now married to Phil Mitchell) is still in the show.
"We would have to come up with a story line, but I loved it," he said.

"It would be difficult to find a storyline that was believable. Maybe a twin?"
The actor, who has since appeared in Downton Abbey, isn't entirely up to date with the soap though, adding: "I dip in and out.
"I don't really watch it enough to fully the storylines."
During his time on the soap, Nigel's character Dennis was known for his forbidden romance with his adoptive sister Sharon (Letitia Dean).

Just before his character was killed, Sharon discovered she was pregnant with Dennis' child – who she called Dennis in his honour.
She later went on to marry Phil Mitchell, who confessed years later to being the one who killed Dennis.

Community is everything Australia
Australia goes to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Anastasia Crickley, Chair of the CERD. © Flickr/UN Geneva
Next week Australia will appear before the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (the CERD Committee). The CERD Committee is a group of independent experts who monitor and encourage governments to uphold and implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (the Convention).
The appearance by Australia's representatives is overdue as Australia's last review was back in August 2010. Australia has simply ignored the overdue report for some time, despite the Committee website stating that each country should report every two years.
It is most likely that Australia finally agreed to cooperate in this review because of Australia's bid to become a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Now that Australia has been successful in that bid, Australia must uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights and fully cooperate with the Council.
Australia's 2010 review
In 2010 Amnesty International made a submission to the CERD Committee available here. At that time issues reported on included:
the lack of entrenched human rights protections and frameworks, especially following the Government's decision in 2009 to not proceed with a human rights act,
the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA) to pass legislation for the Northern Territory Intervention,
Australia finally signing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples but taking no action to implement it,
the failure to adequately address the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system, and
mandatory detention and offshore processing of people seeking asylum.
The 2017 review
Sadly, in the seven years since the last review, many of these issues have gone backwards.
Amnesty International has made a submission to the Committee for this year's review.
Read our recent submission
Here are some of the key points we raised:
Amnesty's Indigenous Rights Manager Tammy Solonec with Anastasia Crickley, Chair of the CERD Committee. © Private
Amnesty maintains its stance, taken in 2010, that there is a need for constitutional protection against racial discrimination. This is because although Australia has implemented the Convention into domestic law through the Racial Discrimination Act, it is at the whim of successive Governments. All that is needed to suspend the RDA, as occurred when the Northern Territory Intervention legislation was passed, or amend it, as we have seen twice attempted over the last few years regarding section 18C, is for there to be a majority government in Federal Parliament. Leaving the protection of fundamental human rights to Parliaments who change every three years and are often elected on populist platforms is no way to manage human rights.
In addition, the territories are particularly vulnerable because, under section 122 of the Constitution, the Federal Parliament can directly make laws for them. This leaves people, and particularly Indigenous people in the Northern Territory at risk, because unlike the Australian Capital Territory — there is no added protection from a Human Rights Act in the Northern Territory.
To counter this, Amnesty International recommended that a prohibition against racial discrimination on the the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin is inserted into the Constitution, as was recommended by the Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition in 2012.
Amnesty also raised concerns about two sections of the Constitution. Section 25 refers to the potential of a state law to disqualify people of any race from voting in State elections, and section 51(xxvi) enables the Commonwealth to make laws for any race. As noted by the CERD Committee in 2010, both provisions are incompatible with the Convention. We're recommending that Australia amends or repeals these sections of the Constitution.
A Human Rights Act
In addition to the need for constitutional reform, Amnesty argued for the need for a comprehensive national Human Rights Act. We are one of the few western nations without one.
Although a Human Rights Framework was put in place following the 2009 Human Rights Act consultation, which included scrutiny for compliance with human rights obligations, Amnesty argues that framework has had limited effectiveness and only applies at the Federal level so there is no scrutiny of state and territory based legislation. Amnesty recommended Australia adopt an enforceable national Human Rights Act and look at ways that there can be parliamentary scrutiny of state and territory legislation. We also recommended the legislation that created the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights be amended to give the Committee the power to conduct their own inquiries.
Racial Hatred
Amnesty took the opportunity to advise the panel about the two attempts to weaken the RDA, and in particular the laws about racial hatred since the last review. We recommended Australia refrain from further attempts to amend the RDA and adequately resource the Australian Human Rights Commission to conciliate complaints and conduct activities and education to promote social harmony.
Amnesty noted the serious impact that racism has on the lived experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and urged Australia to take a holistic approach to addressing this issue. We recommended that Australia, in consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peak organisations, develop a national action plan to implement the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We also recommend Australia take heed of the recent report by the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples including that the report be tabled in Parliament, and that it be referred to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights for further action.
Amnesty made several recommendations about the situation of Indigenous youth detained in Australia to address the over-representation. This included implementing justice reinvestment strategies, adequately resourcing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal services, ending mandatory sentencing of children, and raising the age of criminal responsibility.

Amnesty raised issues of discrimination against migrants and people seeking asylum – especially in relation to mandatory detention and offshore processing of refugees, including 369 people (including 43 children) on Nauru, 773 men at Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, and a further 820 refugees living on Nauru in the community (numbers current as of August 2017).
Amnesty recommended Australia end mandatory sentencing of refugees, bring those detained on Nauru and Manus to Australia (and ensure those granted refugee status have the right to be resettled), and end the practice of boat turnbacks and the prohibition of asylum for those who come by sea.
Finally, Amnesty reported on the situation of gender based violence, following the visit of Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women earlier this year. Amnesty recommended the National Action Plan on Violence Against Women be amended to better address the needs of Indigenous and refugee women, and recommended Australia develop in close partnership with Indigenous women, a specific action plan to address violence against them.
Australia's representatives will appear before the Committee on 27 and 28 November 2017. This will be a chance for the Government and all interested Australians to reflect upon Australia's progress and what remains to be done in terms of implementation of this important Convention.

Mildenhall Town boss hails his 'Captain Fantastic'
Butcher makes a goalscoring return for Greygoose's men
Luke Butcher
Mildenhall Town boss Dean Greygoose was full of praise for 'Captain Fantastic' Luke Butcher following his goalscoring return on Saturday.
Midfielder Butcher, who missed most of last season through injury, struck a late equaliser to earn Mildenhall a share of the spoils in the spoils in their Isthmian One North curtain-raiser against Maldon & Tiptree.
Butcher's all-action return, in his first competitive game in nine months, was typical of a player who has also bounced back in the past from a horrific leg-break, suffered while playing for Newmarket Town.
Cambridge United youngster joins Mildenhall Town on loan
"Luke's our Captain Fantastic and we really missed him last season," said Greygoose. "He's a winner, and we look a different outfit with him in the side. He's back to his best, with his passion, drive and desire to win. It was like he'd scored the FA Cup final winner when he scored yesterday.
"He gets injured because he puts his body on the line all the time, even in training. He was a massive part of when we won the league a year ago, had other offers and could have jumped ship, but it's good to see there's some loyalty left in the game."
That winning mentality rubbed off on his team-mates too, with Mildenhall disappointed only to have drawn 1-1 with one of the division's promotion favourites.
Memorable first season at step four for Mildenhall Town boss
"We hit the woodwork twice, had a goal disallowed and missed a penalty, and the lads came off saying they should have won against one of the fancied teams for this league – which is a good mentality to have," Greygoose added.
"We had six players making their debut, but it was also the oldest team I have put out in a while, which really showed. I will always give youth a chance, but this is a men's league, and you need to start with a bit more experience."
In the same division, Soham Town Rangers kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to another of the pre-season promotion favourites, Heybridge Swifts.

Typhoid Fever (Rose Spots)

Typhoid fever can be spread by consuming food or water contaminated with the stool or urine of an infected person.
People have flu-like symptoms, sometimes followed by delirium, cough, exhaustion, occasionally rash, and diarrhea.
Samples of blood, stool, other body fluids, or tissues are sent to a laboratory to grow (culture) the bacteria.
To prevent infection, people traveling to areas where typhoid fever is common should be vaccinated and, when there, should avoid certain foods and not drink unbottled water.
Infected people with or without symptoms are treated with antibiotics.

Typhoid fever is one type of infection caused by Salmonella bacteria. There are many types of Salmonella, but most typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella Typhi.
Typhoid fever is common in areas where sanitary conditions are poor. Most cases in the United States are acquired while traveling in countries where the infection is common.
Mary Mallon, so-called Typhoid Mary, was a cook who spread typhoid fever to many people during the early 20th century.
Salmonella Typhi is present only in people.
People who are infected excrete the bacteria in stool and, rarely, in urine. A few infected people develop chronic infection of the gallbladder or urinary tract. They continue to excrete the bacteria in stool or urine, even though they no longer have any symptoms. Such people are called carriers. Thus, they do not know they can spread the infection. During the early 20th century, one such woman, a cook named Mary Mallon, spread typhoid fever to many people and became known as Typhoid Mary.
Salmonella Typhi bacteria may contaminate food or drink when hands are inadequately washed after defecation or urination. Water supplies may be contaminated when sewage is inadequately treated. Flies may spread the bacteria directly from stool to food.
Occasionally, typhoid fever is spread by direct contact among children during play or between adults during anal-oral sex.
Like all Salmonella bacteria, many of these bacteria must be consumed for infection to develop, unless the immune system is impaired or people have a deficiency of stomach acid. Stomach acid tends to destroy Salmonella bacteria.
Spread through the bloodstream
The bacteria spread from the digestive tract to the bloodstream (causing bacteremia Bacteremia Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. Bacteremia may result from ordinary activities (such as vigorous toothbrushing), dental or medical procedures, or from infections ... read more ) and may infect distant organs such as the following:

Bone (causing osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis is a bone infection usually caused by bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi. Bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi can infect bones by spreading through the bloodstream or, more often, by... read more )
These infections develop mainly when people are not treated or when treatment is delayed.
Symptoms of Typhoid Fever
Typically, a flu-like illness begins about 8 to 14 days after infection. Typhoid fever symptoms begin gradually. People may have a fever, headache, sore throat, muscle and joint pains, abdominal pains, and a dry cough. They may lose their appetite.
After a few days, the temperature peaks at about 103 to 104° F (39 to 40° C), remains high for another 10 to 14 days, and returns to normal during the fourth week after symptoms started. Often the heartbeat is slow, and people feel exhausted. When the infection is severe, they may become delirious.
During the second week, a rash of flat, rose-colored spots develops on the chest and abdomen in about 10 to 20% of people.
People may be constipated at first, but after 2 weeks, diarrhea may occur. In about 1 to 2% of people, the intestine is torn (perforated) or bleeds. A few people have severe, sometimes life-threatening bleeding.
If infection spreads to other organs, symptoms of those infections may also develop.
In about 8 to 10% of untreated people, symptoms return about 2 weeks after the fever goes away.
Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever
Examination and culture of samples of blood, stool, or other body fluids or tissues
To confirm the diagnosis of typhoid fever, doctors take samples of blood, stool, urine, other body fluids, or tissues and send them to a laboratory where the bacteria, if present, can be grown (cultured). The samples are examined and tested to determine whether Salmonella bacteria are present.
Tests to determine which antibiotics are likely to be effective (susceptibility tests Testing a Microorganism's Susceptibility and Sensitivity to Antimicrobial Drugs Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Doctors suspect an infection based on the person's symptoms, physical examination results,... read more ) are also done.
Prognosis for Typhoid Fever
Without treatment, about 12% of people die. With treatment, only about 1% of people die. Most people who die are malnourished, very young, or very old.
Stupor (unresponsiveness that requires vigorous stimulation to be aroused), coma, and shock are signs of severe infection and a poor prognosis.
Prevention of Typhoid Fever
People who travel to areas where typhoid fever is common should avoid eating raw vegetables and other foods served or stored at room temperature.
Generally, people can safely consume the following:
Foods that are served very hot immediately after cooking
Bottled or canned beverages that are sealed
Hot tea or coffee
Fruit that they have peeled themselves
People should assume that ice and water (unless it is boiled or chlorinated before use) are unsafe. Sealed bottled water should be used for brushing teeth.
A vaccine given by mouth (orally) and a polysaccharide vaccine given by injection into a muscle can help prevent typhoid fever. Both vaccines are about 70% effective and have few side effects.
Vaccination is recommended for
Travelers to regions where typhoid fever is common
People who live in a household with or who have close contact with carriers
Laboratory workers who work with the bacteria
People who remain at risk should receive a booster vaccine 2 years after receiving the injected vaccine and 5 years after receiving the oral vaccine.
In the United States, most cases of typhoid fever occur in travelers returning from parts of the world where typhoid fever is common. Most of these cases could have been prevented if people had been vaccinated.
Treatment of Typhoid Fever
For severe infections, corticosteroids
When antibiotics are used, the risk of death is reduced to less than 1%. Complete recovery may take weeks or months.
The preferred antibiotics include
Ceftriaxone given by injection
Fluoroquinolones (such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, or moxifloxacin) given by mouth or injection
Azithromycin given by mouth
Resistance to antibiotics is common and is increasing in areas where typhoid fever is common. Resistance is also increasing in the United States because of returning travelers who were infected in those areas.
The antibiotic chloramphenicol is used worldwide. However, it can damage cells in bone marrow that make blood cells. Also, Salmonella Typhi bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to it.
If the infection is severe, corticosteroids are also given, particularly when people are delirious, comatose, or in shock.
While people have a fever, bed rest is advised. A clear liquid diet can help minimize diarrhea. People should not use aspirin, laxatives, or enemas.
Relapses can occur after treatment is stopped. This infection is milder than the initial illness and is treated the same way.
Treatment of carriers
Carriers must report to the local health department and are prohibited from working with food until tests show that the bacteria have been eradicated. Taking antibiotics for 4 to 6 weeks may eradicate the bacteria in many carriers.
If carriers have gallbladder disease, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be effective. However, such surgery does not guarantee that the bacteria are eradicated.

From LGBT positivity to zentangle pandas, why Rhiti Chatterjee Bose's art is important
Rhiti studied at Manchester Metropolitan University and was looking for a job keenly, that's when the assignment with the Refugee Council came up
Seema Rajpal
Edex Live
'I am in that phase of my life where I feel that I can correct the mistakes I made in the past,' says Rhiti | (Pic: Rhiti Chatterjee Bose)
The Gateway Protection Programme, which was launched by the Brtish government in partnership with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and co-funded by the European Union, allows a certain number of UNHCR-identified refugees to resettle in the UK. Rhiti Chatterjee Bose was employed as a Teacher at the Refugee Council from 2004 to 2005 and was overseeing the progress of three to four children and one of them was Reuben. This child from Liberia was scarred by the memories of his mother and sister being raped. He was handed a gun at a very young age and encouraged to kill without mercy during the Civil War.
Rhiti sat with him through the classes in school and explained to him, and the others she was in charge of, the lessons that were being taught. Alas, her contract with the council came to an end and with that, goodbyes were in order. When she walked up to the child and was about to say an already hard goodbye, the otherwise silent Reuben looked up and speaking for the first time with Rhiti, said, "Reuben sad." This heartbreaking moment sparked an epiphany in the heart of Rhiti. "There are many things in life which we just quit not knowing the impact we left behind," she ruminates. Now, she is 40, settled in Bhubaneswar and still carries with her the memories of Reuben. "Maybe I was unable to help Reuben back then, but maybe in the future, I can help others," says the mother of two. And how does she want to reach out, you ask? Through art, of course.
Pretty picture: An artwork by Rhiti | (Pic: Art At Isana)
Art on FB
Named after her children Ahana and Ishaan, the Facebook page Art by Isana might not have many likes, but she gets quite some work in terms of commissioned art pieces. "I shifted to zentangle and mandala painting for some peace and quiet because at one point, my children drove me mad and my madness drove me to art," shares Rhiti who was born in Barrackpore, West Bengal. Her father Dr Sankar Chatterjee is a renowned artist and is on her speed dial as she consults him for colour schemes and other painting-related queries, otherwise, she is a completely self-taught artist. She even bagged some freelance work including doing illustrations for Surendra Nath, for his translation of Padmashree Haldhar Nag's epic poem on Shri Krishna, which has 21 chapters. "I did 21 paintings each in zentangle and mandala style depicting the life of Shri Krishna. The book is due for release soon," she says excitedly.
Rhiti also has a Diploma in Child Psychology and Psychotherapy. After coming back from the UK, she trained others in communication and soft skills
Talking about Rhiti's Facebook page, we ask her about the panda artwork we spotted, done in zentangle-style. She laughs as she answers, "My daughter asked me why I paint only for grown-ups and it was upon her request that I painted the panda." Scroll down further and you'll see some pro-LGBTQIA+ paintings as well. As a part of the community, she supports the group whole-heartedly. But don't get her wrong, her intention while painting is not to sell them and become a painter. "I don't want to see my paintings hang on the walls of famous people, I want to go back to my roots and teach," she says emotionally. Sometime in the future, she intends to conduct art therapy workshops and help people come out of their misery, just like she did.
Some of her art work
Life lessons from Rhiti
- It's okay to make mistakes, but you need to own up to them
- Be kind to each and every one
- Start small, but start
- We can't change everything, but we can help change one person
- My motto is - "I don't aim for the stars, I am happy on my planet"

New Georgia House legislative map garners Senate approval
(The Center Square) – The Georgia Senate approved a new House legislative district map Friday, with Democrats and a lone Republican voting against it.
The map had cleared the House, 99-79, on Wednesday before garnering Senate committee approval Thursday. It earned full Senate approval Friday, 32-21, and will be sent to Gov. Brian Kemp.
Lawmakers must redraw legislative maps every 10 years to correspond with updated U.S. Census Bureau data. Last year's census showed Georgia's population grew by 1 million people from 2010 to 2020. It showed population growth in urban areas and population loss in rural areas. The data was delayed by five months because of the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters.
The House map has been criticized by Democrats along each step of the way, and Friday's Senate debate was no different.
"Georgians have demanded fair maps and Georgians deserve fair maps," Sen. Donzella James, D-Atlanta, said. "The data and statistics show us that there is more work to be done on the proposed map before us."
During Thursday's Senate Redistricting and Reapportionment Committee meeting, Sen. Gloria Butler, D-Stone Mountain, said the House map does not account for the state's change in racial demographics over the decade. Most of the growth, Butler said, was among minority communities. She accused Republicans of trying to maintain partisan control of the Legislature and continued her criticism Friday.
"Public comment on this map, including from Republicans, was overwhelmingly negative, and it was promptly ignored," Butler said. "Republicans voted the map out of committee on partisan lines without making a single change to the map after hearing from the people."
House Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee Chair Rep. Bonnie Rich, R-Suwanee, has defended the House map, saying it has received more public input than any other map in the history of redistricting. She also said lawmakers considered the majority-minority districts as required by law, and the map includes 76 majority nonwhite districts.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-Macon, who presented the bill in the Senate on Friday, said it is customary for each chamber to pass the other chamber's approved map without changes.
"We do have our own independent obligations, and I think those are to make sure what they have sent us in this bill is constitutional, that it's legal and that it's been and involved a fair process," Kennedy said. "I will tell you that all three of those points are absolutely 'yes.'"
Sen. Matt Brass, R-Newnan, was the only Republican to vote against the map because of how it divides his constituents.
"These weren't easy decisions," Brass said of drawing new legislative boundaries. "I understand that. Nobody got everything they wanted. A lot of people didn't get anything they wanted, but, again, sometimes you have to lose it all to gain something worth having."

Mental health – is an annual awareness week enough?
By: yourtown 10 Oct Media Releases
Kids Helpline's new KHL @ High School mental health and wellbeing program is being launched this World Mental Health Day to stress the crucial importance of keeping conversations about the mental health of young people active all year around.
Suicide remains the leading cause of death of children and young people in Australia. In 2017, 428 children and young people under the age of 25 died from suicide – 180 were 19 years or under.1
While not all mental health concerns lead to suicide, by stepping in early the tragic deaths of young people who are struggling with their mental health could be prevented – their lives could be saved.
The new Kids Helpline @ High School program being launched this week in Central and North Queensland High Schools, aims to do just that. It is free to schools and focuses on increasing the mental health literacy and coping and resilience skills of high school aged young people. Most importantly, it lets them know that it's a strength and not a weakness to reach out for help.
yourtown/Kids Helpline CEO Tracy Adams said Kids Helpline's own contacts with young people about mental health highlight why the Kids Helpline @ High School program is so important.
"High-school students in the 13 to 18 year old age group tell us they experience issues such as family relationship breakdowns, suicide-related thoughts, study and education issues and, most prominently, mental health concerns," Ms Adams said.
"Mental health was the number one reason children and young people contacted Kids Helpline in 2017. One in four or 17,115 of counselling contacts to Kids Helpline were about this issue.
"Over half of these young people were seeking support or strategies to manage an established disorder, while close to two fifths (37%) had symptoms of an undiagnosed mental health condition.2
"Clearly we all need to work together to ensure young people have the knowledge and support they need at such a crucial time in their lives."
The Kids Helpline @ High School program is funded by the Australian Government through Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN).
NQPHN Senior Program Officer Alison Fairleigh said the funding for the program was provided to enhance existing services due to the high level of need in the region.
"The Kids Helpline @ High School program was funded to complement existing mental health services for young people and aligns with the Australian government's preferred model of prevention and early intervention in schools," Ms Fairleigh said.
"Kids Helpline has a proven track record of delivering support and providing strategies to manage stressful situations and mental health conditions that make a real difference to people's lives.
"We are proud to collaborate with Kids Helpline on the Kids Helpline @ High School program to help northern Queensland youths live happier, healthier, longer lives."
Kids Helpline @ High School was developed in consultation with more than 450 students, teachers and parents in 10 schools across the Central and North Queensland region.
While the program was designed to primarily focus on students in years nine and ten, the consultations revealed a critical need for support for older students.
"There was particular concern for young people in Year 12 going through stressful final exams and the exciting but also sometimes scary unknown that opens up when leaving school behind," Ms Adams said.
"The Kids Helpline @ High School program aims to booster the resilience of this group and let young people know that although they're leaving school, Kids Helpline is not leaving them. Kids Helpline is a 24/7 services for young people aged 5-25."
The Kids Helpline @ High School program is being piloted in Central and North Queensland high schools with an estimated reach of more than 2,000 young people.
Kids Helpline believes the program will be particularly important for Indigenous communities in the area. The latest
Australian Bureau of Statistics data revealed Indigenous young people experienced a suicide-rate five times higher than non-Indigenous young people in the five-year period between 2013-2017.1
At the conclusion of the 12 month pilot Kids Helpline hopes to offer the program to schools nation-wide, as it has done with the successful Kids Helpline @ School program for primary schools.
Session topics for the Kids Helpline @ High School program include:
Developing resilience
Respectful relationships

Sin was introduced through one man, Adam, and it was conquered by Jesus (Romans 5:12–21). Sin brought a curse upon the world and its inhabitants (Genesis 3:14–19). We need salvation, which God has provided for us freely through the sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus Christ. God's salvation comes by grace through faith: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8–9). Both grace and faith are needed for salvation, so let's look a little closer into what that means.
We are all under the curse of sin when we are born, and we live in a fallen world that is under the curse of sin until Jesus returns. Sin brings the penalty of death and an eternity in hell (Romans 6:23; John 3:18). It separates us from God and ultimately leads to our death: "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned" (Romans 5:12). We need to be saved from the power and influence of sin over our lives.
Salvation saves us from the penalty of sin and guarantees us eternal life in heaven with God (John 3:16–18). Many religions teach that salvation is achieved by things that we can do; they imply that we can be good enough to earn it, or that if we are sorry enough for our bad actions everything will be okay. No matter how good our intentions or actions are, they are not enough on their own. While we should do good works and have contrition over our shortcomings, this is not enough to free us from the curse of sin we inherited from Adam in the Garden of Eden. We need to be delivered from the curse of sin. God's grace provides the deliverance we need.
Grace is God's unmerited favor which He freely bestows on us (Romans 3:24). He loves us so He provides grace that enables us to receive the gift of salvation through Christ: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved" (Ephesians 2:4–5). When we accept His gift of grace, it vindicates us and frees us from the power of sin. We are no longer separated from God or sentenced to hell, because His grace covers us and makes us sinless in His sight. We accept the gift of His eternal salvation by grace through faith.
We accept God's grace by putting our faith in His son, Jesus Christ, and in the redemptive work He has done. He is the "founder and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). Jesus was crucified and died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins for all of humanity, and He was resurrected from the dead three days later (Matthew 27:27—28:10; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8). God's grace is bestowed upon us when we confess and believe in Jesus Christ by faith.
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. … And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him" (Hebrews 11:1, 6). If you think it sounds impossible to have this kind of faith on your own, you are right. We cannot generate this level of faith on our own. Both grace and faith are gifts of God (Ephesians 2:8). Do you want to believe in Jesus but do not feel like you have the faith to do so? Ask God to give you the faith you need and look to His Word, the Bible: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). Faith comes by hearing the word of the Lord.
God is the author of our redemption story. He created and chose us to be His from before the universe was even formed (Ephesians 1:4–6). He desires for us to put our faith in Jesus, so that we will be saved and adopted as His children (John 1:12). God "… is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). It is our decision whether or not we will choose to receive the gift of salvation. Salvation is the result of the combination of grace and faith. When we put our faith in Jesus as Lord, we receive the free gift of God's grace and this is how we are saved.

Q: Objects as arguments I try to:

*

*Create a Car object in the Main.

*Send the object as an argument to the carOwners class.

*Print the entire carOwners data from main.

Name and Address will be printed, but not the Car.
What is wrong with my code?
public class TestProgram {
    public static void main(String [] args){
        Car Saab = createCar();
        carOwners guy = createCarOwners (Saab);
        printAll(guy);
    }

    public static Car createCar (){
        //user input a, b, c, d
        Car temporary = new Car (a, b, c, d);
        return temporary;
    }
    public static carOwners createCarOwners (Car x){
        //user input a, b
        Car c = x;
        carOwners temporary = new carOwners (a, b, c);
        return temporary;
    }

    public static void printAll (carOwners x){
        x.printCarData();
        x.printNameAddress();
    }
}

public class Car {
    private String model;
    private String Year;
    private String licensePlate;
    private String color;

    public Car (String x, int y, String z, String q){
        model = x;
        Year = y;
        licensePlate = z;
        color = q;
    }
}

public class carOwners {
    private String name;
    private String address;
    private Car TheCar;

    public carOwners (String n, String a, Car b){
        name = n;
        address = a;
        TheCar = b;
    }

    public void printNameAddress(){
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println(name);
        System.out.println(address);
    }

    public void printCarData(){
        System.out.println(TheCar);
    }
}

A: override toString(), so you can custom the output format of Car
public String toString(){
    return "Model :" + this.model + ",Year :" + year;
}

A: Your Problem is here:
public void printCarData(){
        System.out.println(TheCar);
    }

You want to print an Object. That doens't work because Java uses the toString-Method for that. If you want to do it like that you have to override the toString()-Method of your car class like that:
public String toString()
{
     return "CarModel: " + this.model + ", Production Year: " + year;
}

AIM-CIPS
Cloud Imaging and Particle Size Instrument
Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) Instrument Overview
Last updated: June 2020
The NASA Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission was designed to study polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs), the highest clouds in the earth's atmosphere (Russell et al., 2009). Also known as noctilucent clouds, PMCs form near the summer polar mesopause in both hemispheres, about 82 km (50 miles) above the surface of the earth. They are composed of water ice crystals, with particle sizes less than about 100 nanometers. PMCs form in the summer because the mesopause region is colder in summer than at any other time. Changes observed in PMCs in recent decades are possibly related to anthropogenic effects on the atmosphere. The AIM mission measures the clouds and their environment to better understand the underlying chemistry and physics, and the forces that cause the clouds to vary.
The AIM satellite has three instruments: CIPS, CDE (Cosmic Dust Experiment), and SOFIE (Solar Occultation For Ice Experiment). CDE, which is no longer operational, is an in-situ dust detector that measured cosmic dust input, a potential key factor in PMC formation (Poppe et al., 2011). SOFIE measures vertical profiles of particle extinction as well as temperature, water vapor, ozone, nitric oxide and methane (Gordley et al., 2009). For more information on CDE and SOFIE, please visit http://aim.hamptonu.edu/instrmt/cde.html and http://sofie.gats-inc.com/sofie/index.php.
The CIPS instrument (McClintock et al., 2009) is a panoramic imager that measures ultraviolet radiation scattered by PMCs and atmospheric gases. The instrument consists of a 2×2 array of cameras operating in a 10 nm passband centered at 265 nm, each with an overlapping field of view (FOV). The total FOV is 80° × 120°, centered at the sub-satellite point. CIPS images are acquired simultaneously in each camera. From 2007 through February of 2016 images were acquired every 43 seconds in the summer hemisphere between the terminator and a dayside latitude of about 40 degrees. Since February of 2016 images have been acquired at all sunlit latitudes. There are ~15 orbits per day, and ~20–30 four-camera images per orbit.
CIPS PMC data products include cloud albedo, particle radius, and ice water content along each orbit strip, with 56.25 km2 spatial resolution. The version 4 CIPS PMC retrieval algorithm is described in Lumpe et al. (2013). Version 5 PMC data were first released for all CIPS seasons in 2020; a description of the version 5 PMC retrieval algorithm is currently in preparation.
In addition to PMCs, CIPS measures gravity waves (GWs) near the stratopause, at an altitude of 50-55 km (Randall et al., 2017). GWs play a significant role in coupling the atmosphere, because they transfer momentum and energy from the troposphere to higher altitudes. CIPS is unique in providing the only available imaging data set that can reveal horizontal GW structures near the stratopause. GWs are inferred from a "Rayleigh Albedo Anomaly" (RAA) data product, from which GW information near an altitude of 50-55 km can be inferred (Randall et al., 2017).

The Appointment Of New IRGC Commanders Shows The Concerns Of Iran's Ruling Clerics

The IRGC is only second to Ayatollah Khamenei – the supreme leader – in terms of influence in the Islamic Republic. Some even believe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is even stronger than the commander-in-chief of Iran's armed forces; Khamenei himself.
The supreme leader's decision to appoint new commanders for the IRGC reflects the main apprehension, anxiety, worries, and concerns the Islamic establishment is struggling with. These can be divided into four:
1. Concerns about widespread anti-regime protests in the streets by the people who are fed up with the chaotic social and economic conditions of the country
2. Increased U.S. pressures on Iran's sensitive and crucial points, including its banking transactions and oil exports that act as the respiratory system of the Islamic establishment
3. Concerns about the possibility of the downfall of the Islamic regime in the event of 80-year-old Khamenei's death. (The scramble to succeed him will come with a myriad of hazards).
4. Threats that emanate from nonconformist blocs and foreign-based subversive opposition groups, as well as the position of the IRGC against such menaces.
Why Khamenei Changed The Guards' Commander And What It Means
The job of politicians and military commanders, ever loyal to the leadership core, will be to eliminate threats linked to these concerns.
Let's have a closer look at the record of the new commanders of the IRGC.
Hossein Salami, promoted to major general, and appointed as the new commander of the IRGC on April 21, was one of the military commanders during the bloody and devastating Iran-Iraq war of 1980 to 1988.
Born in the city of Golpayegan in Iran's central province of Isfahan in 1960, IRGC Major General Salami is an extremely anti-American figure. He believes in battle cries, war rhetoric, and taking an aggressive position in "war of words" against the so-called Great Satan as well as Israel.
He has maintained that, in the last four decades of the post-Islamic revolutionary era, Iran has repeatedly defeated America.
According to him, Iran has been responsible for creating at least three "epic days" (known as Yom ul-Allah, or God's Day), all of them symbolizing America's defeat, and "bringing it to its knees".
Top IRGC commanders (L2R) Hossein Salami, Ali Fadavi, Mohammad Pakpour and Amir Ali Hajizadeh on Fitr Prayer in Tehran on June 26, 2017.
First, the downfall of the pro-west monarchy (February 11, 1979), then, invading the U.S. embassy in Tehran and taking 52 American diplomats hostage (November 4, 1979), and finally the aborted U.S. military mission to rescue its captured diplomats in the sands of Tabas in eastern Iran (1980).
Meanwhile, as the most vociferous anti-U.S. and Israel IRGC commander, Salami also believes in ruthless and unsparing suppression of all protesters and other local anti-Islamic establishment dissidents.
IRGC's new vice commander, rear admiral Ali Fadavi, is a mirror image of his new boss. A year younger, he is also from Isfahan and a veteran of the Iran-Iraq.
Fadavi, chief commander of the IRGC navy from 2010 to 2018, was immediately appointed as the IRGC deputy coordinator in August last year.
In February 2016, he received "first class" Fath (Victory) medal for capturing United States Navy sailors, whose boat inadvertently entered Iranian territorial waters in January 2016.
Again, as his new boss, Fadavi is notorious for his saber-rattling against the U.S.
The IRGC-run Fars News Agency (FNA) cited Fadavi as saying in May 2014, the immense size of the US carriers makes them an "easy target" for Iranian forces.
Furthermore, he said contingency plans to "target American carriers" are a "priority" for the IRGC's naval forces.
Anatomy Of Suppression In Iran: The Institutions & Tactics That Repeatedly Quash Dissent
The next figure in the recent reshuffle, the IRGC Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqhdi, replacing Fadavi as the IRGC deputy coordinator, is mainly renowned for his extremely conservative political tendencies, as well as his belief in suppressing critics and opposition parties with full force.
Naghdi, joined the IRGC in 1980 and since then has served in Qods Force, law enforcement, general staff and from 2009 to 2016, chief commander of the organization for mobilization of the oppressed, known as the Baseej (Basij).
Immediately before his recent promotion, Naqhdi served in the IRGC joint staff.
On February 23, 2011, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Naqhdi, "for being responsible for or complicit in serious human rights abuses in Iran," adding him to the Office of Foreign Assets Control blacklist. The action subjects him "to visa sanctions" and "seeks to block any assets" he may have under U.S. jurisdiction", and "bans U.S. citizens from financial transactions with him.
A vice commander but not quite
Based on the formal structure of the IRGC and on paper, the deputy chief commander (DCC) of the elite militia is the second in command of the forces. However, in practice, the DCC has no direct supervision on the chief commanders of the IRGC's four forces, (air, sea, land and the Qods).
It is quite a known fact today that the position of the current chief commander of Qods force, major general Qassem Soleimani, is much higher than the DCC's. Soleimani's exceptional standing in the eyes of the supreme leader, as well as his role in Iran's Middle East policies, are even overshadowing the position of the IRGC chief commander.
Furthermore, the DCC has no direct role in commanding the IRGC's powerful and fearsome Intelligence Organization, as well as its Security Department (airports and Ansar security forces).
The IRGC Intelligence Organization, under its longstanding commander, 56-year-old mid-ranking cleric, Hossein Ta'ib, has swiftly expanded and gained power in recent years to the extent that it has even challenged the position of the IRGC's chief commander.
Meanwhile, the DCC has no influence on IRGC's Counterespionage Organization (IRGCCO) that has direct close ties with the office of the Supreme Leader and is accountable only to him.
IRGCCO has turned into a fearsome entity in charge of keeping an eye on the commanders and other members of the elite militia.
Having said that, one cannot dismiss or dismiss the DCC's position as irrelevant or unimportant. On the contrary, the post has specific characteristics that highlight its prominence and capacities.
As it has already seen twice, the DCC could be the next chief commander of the IRGC
Fadavi, rising star who captured Americans
Apparently, challenging America, if not the most critical concern of the clergies and their allies dominating Iran, is definitely one of their primary sources of anxiety. The IRGC's newly appointed VCC, rear admiral Ali Fadavi, has a 30-year reputations as a symbol of anti-Americanism.
During the last weeks of Iran-Iraq war, when the U.S. Navy engaged with the IRGC's speedboats, Fadavi was in charge of its Navy's intelligence unit.
Since then, Fadavi has always appeared as an uncompromising anti-American figure.
As the chief commander of the IRGC Navy, Fadavi played a pivotal role in creating new challenges for U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, deepening the crisis between the two countries.
On January 12, 2016, 10 U.S. Navy sailors (nine male and one female) were detained by the IRGC naval forces when one of their boats became disabled and drifted closer to Iran.
In February 2016, he received "first class" Fath (Victory) medal for capturing United States navy sailors.
Pentagon officials said the incident occurred near Farsi Island in the Gulf. They said one of their two small boats had mechanical trouble, causing one or both to run aground. The sailors were then picked up by IRGC forces and taken to the island.
Although the IRGC officially declared at the time that the U.S. boats had inadvertently drifted into the Iranian territorial waters (and freed the sailors a day later), Khamenei chose to "exclusively" invite the IRGC's Naval commander Fadavi, along with other IRGC commanders responsible for arresting American sailors, to express his gratitude to them in person.
Khamenei Shows Toughness In Persian Gulf Under New Commander
During the meeting, Khamenei awarded Fadavi and four of his subordinates with the "first class" military medal, "Fath" or Victory. He was so pleased with the incident that, in 2018, insisted on his anti-Americanism by appointing one of the commanders involved in arresting American sailors, Commodore Alireza Tangsiri, as Fadavi's successor.
With aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on its way to the Persian Gulf, appointing two anti-American figures to senior positions, highlights Khamenei's resolve to display his resentment towards America's global status as a superpower.
Last month, the United States designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization. The measure elicited some angry reactions in Iran, where the parliament passed a bill designating U.S. forces in the region, including CENTCOM, the U.S. central commands in the Persian Gulf region, as a terrorist group.

Fuck Tha Posse fue un grupo de hip-hop de Zaragoza de mediados de los 90 que obtuvieron una más que notable repercusión dentro del panorama con una única maqueta y que junto con CPV o VKR pertenecen a esa quinta que impulsase tras el bajón de finales de los 80 y de las cuales han salido notables MC's o grupos de importante trayectoria dentro del panorama nacional (como los casos de Sharif y Rapsusklei). En el 2006 una parte se reúne grabando un mixtape.

Este grupo maño estaba compuesto por el trompetista Johann Hincapié (quien actualmente trabaja como músico callejero), Sharif, Oscar a Secas y Sarkete (más conocido como Rapsusklei).
La banda se formó en el verano de 1994 empezando a ser conocida a finales de los 90´con su maqueta "Demasiado honor para tanta hambre", siendo el único trabajo oficial de esta agrupación. Con un estilo en la que no se dejaron llevar por la moda de imitar a los grupos americanos y crearon un estilo propio con sus canciones, que siempre tratan temas de actualidad como el futuro de la juventud, el racismo, el maltrato a la naturaleza, los problemas de las drogas (Jako).

En el año 2006 presentan junto con Alter Ego la mixtape "Veinte Minutos Mixtape Vol.1" (el cual no es un trabajo oficial del grupo puesto que no aparecen los 4 componentes del mismo) distribuyéndose gratuitamente por Internet. Además de los componentes de Fuck tha posse (excepto Johann, al cual no participa) también colaboran en este trabajo Hazhe (tanto en la grabación como haciendo de MC), Karty, Gran Purismo, Eric Placton, Fuethefirst, Erik B, Pablo, Dr.Loncho, Aniki y el rapero de Lisboa Mali.

At the time, students were divided into two groups. One was composed of the radical political activists who aggressively fought the dictatorial military government. They were ideologically-oriented, politically correct, and self-righteous radicals who preferred North Korea to South Korea that repressed them ruthlessly. They were proud of themselves as they believed that they were fighting for the Grand Cause and they represented justice, truth and democracy. The other group was made up of students who sympathized with the radicals, and yet who were reluctant to actively participate in anti-government demonstrations. They preferred to study, rather than to be politically engaged all the time. Inevitably, these peace-loving students suffered a sense of guilt.
In the English Department, those who majored in British literature were proud of themselves, whereas those who majored in American literature felt a totally unnecessary and unhealthy sense of guilt. For some inscrutable reason, radical students, who held anti-American sentiments, wrongfully thought the US was their enemy while the UK was not because the former was imperialist and the latter was not.
Unfortunately, radical students gradually resembled the military dictators they were fighting against. In the 1980s, for example, radical students often organized tyrannical campaigns ironically under the excuse of fighting the tyranny. For example, they frequently forced other students to sabotage the final exams. Of course, some students wanted to take the exam in order to step up to the next level or graduate. But radical students would not allow it because they thought such a selfish petty-bourgeois cause could be sacrificed for the Grand Cause.
During the radical students' tyrannical campaign, I was proctoring the final exam of a class. There were some students taking the exam in the classroom. Suddenly, I noticed that someone was taking a photo of the students who were taking the exam. As a professor, I felt I needed to protect my students. Who knew? The photos might be used for retribution later. Thus, I got out of the exam room and quietly told the Peeping Tom to stop taking a photo and leave. Then, the radical student abruptly turned into a demonic figure, staring at me, cursing and vowing revenge on those who took the exam. Of course, they did not have any respect for their professors or parents; they only worshipped their political ideology. From his bloodshot eyes and demonic face saturated with hate that day, I saw another type of tyranny, or the same tyranny of the military dictators that they claimed to be fighting against. At that moment, I foresaw the grim future of Korea.
Now, those former radical students have become professors, journalists and politicians. For the future of Korea, I strongly hope that they are no longer possessed by old grudges and vengeance and that their mental clocks did not stop in the 1980s but have kept on ticking. The world has changed now and we are living in the electronic age of the 21st century. Of course, without their sacrifices and contributions, we could not have enjoyed today's freedom and democracy. However, Marxism turned out to be a complete failure and the military dictatorship, too, disappeared once and for all now. Thus, we should not be haunted by the specters of the past any more.
We cannot afford to repeat the past. We should move on to the future. During the military dictatorship, for example, we were appalled when a right-wing dictator banned such beautiful songs as "Morning Dew" simply because they allegedly inspired the spirit of resistance. Now we are equally disheartened when some radicals try to ban school songs simply because they were composed by allegedly pro-Japan composers a long time ago.

De Mendoza wijnstreek is het belangrijkste wijnbouwgebied van Argentinië. In de provincie Mendoza wordt ongeveer driekwart van alle wijn geproduceerd. Aanvankelijk lag de nadruk op goedkope wijn voor binnenlands gebruik, maar sinds het begin van de negentiger jaren is de aandacht verlegd naar kwaliteitswijnen voor exportmarkten.

Ligging en klimaat
De wijngebieden in deze provincie liggen ten oosten van de Andes in en om de hoofdstad Mendoza. De wijnbouw vindt op de hellingen plaats en tot relatief grote hoogte. De koude nachten zorgen voor een relatief lange rijpingsperiode. De meeste neerslag valt ten westen of in de Andes en de wijngaarden moeten geïrrigeerd worden om voor voldoende water te zorgen.

Mendoza kent een woestijnklimaat, volgens de klimaatclassificatie van Köppen BWh of BWk. Er valt weinig neerslag, minder dan 200 millimeter per jaar.  De meeste neerslag valt in de zomer tussen november tot maart. De winters zijn koud, maar omdat het een droge periode is valt er nauwelijks sneeuw. Voor de druiven zijn vorst in het voorjaar een probleem en ook hagel is een voorkomend probleem waardoor de druiven worden beschadigd. Door het droge weer en de grote hoogte waarop de druiven worden geteeld kan hier met minder bestrijdingsmiddelen worden volstaan.

Druivenrassen
De Medoza wijnstreek is veruit het grootste wijnbouwgebied van Argentinië. Hier liggen iets meer dan 70% van alle wijngaarden van het land gemeten naar areaal.

Traditioneel kwam de Criolla druif veel voor in dit gebied, maar deze levert geen bijzondere wijnen op. De komst van Europese druivenrassen zorgen voor een verbetering. Vooral de Malbec doet het erg goed en heeft een aandeel van een vijfde in het totaal areaal. Verder komen de Cabernet Sauvignon, Pedro Ximénez en Chardonnay veel voor. Er wordt ongeveer even veel witte als rode wijn geproduceerd.

De wijnbouw is vooral geconcentreerd rond de hoofdstad van de provincie. Het belangrijkste wijndepartement is San Martin waar ruim een kwart van alle druiven worden geoogst, gevolgd door Maipú en Rivadavia met allebei ongeveer een achtste. In zowel Luján de Cuyo als Junín komt ongeveer 10% van de oogst binnen.

Geschiedenis
De wijnbouw in de regio werd al geïntroduceerd in de 16e eeuw voor de productie van missiewijn, maar de grote doorbraak kwam aan het einde van de 19e eeuw toen Mendoza een spoorwegverbinding kreeg met de hoofdstad Buenos Aires. De reistijd tussen de twee plaatsen werd teruggebracht naar enkele dagen in plaats van maanden voor de spoorlijn gereed kwam. De afzetmogelijkheden voor de wijn werden aanzienlijk vergroot.
