Y'all, weight loss is a topic I never thought I'd be writing about. But I have had some great success over the last month, and I believe in sharing anything that might be helpful to others. If you have health issues, you may want to ask your doctor. This may not work for you, but it has worked for me.
First of all, those who know me well know I've never had a real weight problem. But I have slowly put on 3 pounds here, and 5 pounds there (free Disney dining at Disney World … may have been free, but it's costing me now! Grin!) … and well, I have a real hard time losing even three pounds (or I always have in the past).
Nitty gritty: counting calories is everything. I am eating a 1,000 – 1,200 calorie a day diet, and I am taking a daily brisk 20 minute walk around my neighborhood (but not on Saturdays or Sundays). Y'all, in one month, I have lost 9 pounds and am almost at my "normal" weight. I know that doesn't sound like much … but like I said, losing weight has always been difficult for me. Luckily, I never gained it too quickly. But, age is taking a toll.
Lunch: 1/2 can chicken noodle soup and 25-50 small pretzel sticks, sugar free jello (try to keep lunch at 200 calories) * my favorite lunch lately has been 1/2 sandwich (1 slice of bread or 1/2 med sized sub bread with chicken sandwich meat), 25 pretzel sticks, sugar free jello, and 50 calories of cookies!
Evening snack under 100 calories * I have actually been skipping this lately, and I am dropping weight a little faster than before; the last few weeks, it was taking a week to lose 1 lb., but this last week I dropped 2 lbs in a week after I stopped the evening snack.
You can vary this any way you need to … just stick to the calorie count. If you need to eat items with less sodium, do that.
I have been snacking on popcorn (1/3 of a bag), sugar free popsicles (15 calories), and sugar free jello. And I never drink sodas with sugar. I stick to water, unsweet tea, or diet soda.
And when I started out a month ago, I tried my best to eat things that I knew the definite calorie count. If you need to know calorie count, acaloriecounter.com has been very helpful for me (especially where fruits, vegetables are concerned, etc.).
And stick to it. When you see the pounds dropping off, you will be encouraged as I was. I have been keeping a chart to record my weight daily. My scale shows your weight down to the ounce. There are days when I remain the same, but give it a day or two, and it drops another two ounces.
And here is the thing that I love the most … this is a way to eat for life. Light. Those Starbucks, blizzards, basket of chips & salsa, etc. were pushing me over my calorie needs, and that had to stop!
I will say that when I first started the only time I was really hungry was at night (and it did hurt) … especially if I'd had caffeine and couldn't sleep well. So limit caffeine at night, and you'll sleep thru the hunger! But I also know that if I'm a little hungry at night, more than likely I will be a little lighter on the scale in the morning.
And the other thing that I love … I don't have to exercise myself ragged. A 20 minute daily brisk walk is working for me. Of course, the more exercise, I'm sure the quicker the weight would come off. But I am not a huge exercise fan (I'd rather eat less than exercise more … just being honest here).
Other positives: I feel like I'm eating all day long (more than I was, just choosing differently), and there are no costs for meals, joining groups, etc.
And for those times when you have to eat at McDonalds … a kid's 4-piece chicken nugget meal with tiny fries and apples is only 300 calories (so skip your 100 morning or afternoon snack that day and have 1/3 bag of popcorn instead!). My recent meal from Chili's lasted me three meals!
Anyway, just wanted to share this. Hope this might be helpful to someone! The more you adjust to the plan, you won't have to count the calories as much … you will just know.
And disclaimer … I am not a health professional, nutritionist, etc … this is just what is working for me. And when I reach my goal, I'll be able to add more calories to my diet to maintain my weight … yahoo!
And if you think I'm bizarre, well, you might be correct! But I'm 9 pounds lighter from just one month ago! My favorite blue jean shorts fit me loosely again! Yea!
ps. And if the next time you see me I'm heavier, you'll know I stopped counting calories! So, your prayers won't be wasted on me!
Update 5/25/12: I have not lost anymore. I think I have hit bottom unless I start working out more. I'm okay with this weight and hope I can maintain it.
And one more thing … I have found a website, Loseit.com … it really helps you keep track of your calorie intake and is very encouraging to me.


"Hi, I would like to upgrade the front suspension on my zrx and understand that the cartridges used in 04 and later models are sealed on the compression valve, making it difficult to upgrade.
I used the bike mainly for sports riding/touring and a few ride days.
The bike seems to wallow a bit in fast corners and the adjustment range is poor.
I currently have the compression damping backed right out and the rebound 1 click from max. This makes a difference from the standard settings but still not great. Seems to be too much compression and not enough rebound?
I have read about your work Ken's (AMCN) ZRX and was surprised to hear the forks were revalved, no other suspension shops have said they can be done?
Any advice and upgrade options you would recommend for this bike?
The forks will have too soft feel for a rider of your weight and will dive quicker than is ideal. We can revalve the original fork and shock equipment and where needed fit new springs. These changes are a big increase over the std set-up. The standard set-up suits a touring rider of 70-80kg forks & 75-85kgs shock. We recommend a revalve for your riding application.
Regarding your settings on your ZRX, you have gone past the usable range for these adjusters, this is a sure sign that the setup isn't working for you.
The "others" you mentioned would need to have a solid engineering background and a workshop with the right equipment, then they wouldn't say "can't be done"

Q: How to consume nested MultiParts in Jersey? I am trying to write a REST endpoint that receives multiple files (as input streams) and data about those files (as Json).
Here's my client:
public void doSomething() {
MultiPart parent = new MultiPart(MultiPartMediaTypes.createMixed());
MultiPart child = new MultiPart(MultiPartMediaTypes.createMixed());
child.bodyPart(new BodyPart(someObject, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE));
child.bodyPart(new StreamDataBodyPart(someInputStream));
child.bodyPart(new StreamDataBodyPart(someOtherInputStream));
BodyPart bp = new BodyPart(child, MultiPartMediaTypes.createMixed());
parent.bodyPart(bp);
client.post(Entity.entity(parent, MultiPartMediaTypes.createMixed());
}

Here's my server:
@POST
@Path("something")
@Consumes(MultiPartMediaTypes.MULTIPART_MIXED)
public Response multiPart( @Context HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest,
MultiPart multiPart) {

List<BodyPart> bodyParts = multiPart.getBodyParts();

for(BodyPart bp : bodyParts) {
MultiPart multiPart = (MultiPart)bp.getEntity();
}
}

Ideally, I should be able to receive the read Entity on that bodyPart as a MultiPart. I should be able to access the underlying multipart. But I get a class cast exception (because the Entity is a BodyPartEntity).
However, on the receiving side, I get a MultiPart which contains a bodyPart whose entity is a BodyPartEntity which only provides an InputStream. The input stream contains all of the contents of the nested MultiPart, but ideally I should just be able to receive it as a MultiPart and read directly from there.
The input Stream looks something like this:
--Boundary_3_1589640004_1523988834754

Content-Type: application/json
{"someJson" : "value"}

--Boundary_3_1589640004_1523988834754

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: form-data; filename="test.txt"; name="test.txt"
(a bunch of characters representing the image)

--Boundary_3_1589640004_1523988834754

These 2 questions are asking exactly what I am asking, yet neither of them seem to work for me
How to consume a nested multipart/mixed mime type in jersey
Jersey reading nested Multipart (multipart/mixed)
How can I easily access the underlying MultiPart without having to manually parse through the InputStream? What am I missing?

Q: Fundamental system of solutions and Green`s function Suppose we have the fundamental system of solutions of equation $$y''(x)+(u_0x+u_1)y(x)=f(x)$$ with initial conditions $$y(0)=y_0,~ y'(0)=y_1.$$ Its fundamental system of solutions is ${\rm Ai}\left(-\frac{u_0x+u_1}{(-u_0)^{2/3}}\right)$ and ${\rm Bi}\left(-\frac{u_0x+u_1}{(-u_0)^{2/3}}\right)$ (Airy functions). How to obtain Green`s function of the problem?

A: The Green's function $g(x,\xi)$ should satisfy the ODE,
$$
g(x,\xi)''+(u_{0}x+u_{1})g(x, \xi)=\delta(x-\xi)
$$
with boundary conditions $g(0, \xi)=0$ and $g'(0, \xi)=0$. Then the Green's function $g(x, \xi)$ is given by
$$g(x, \xi)=H(x-\xi)u_{\xi}(x)$$
where $u_{\xi}(x)$ satisfies
$$u_{\xi}''(x)+(u_{0}x+u_{1})u_{\xi}(x)=0$$
with boundary conditions $u_{\xi}(\xi)=0$ and $u_{\xi}'(\xi)=1$. Suppose that
$$u_{\xi}(x)=\alpha\operatorname*{Ai}\left(-\frac{u_{0}x+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)+\beta\operatorname*{Bi}\left(-\frac{u_{0}x+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)$$
then we have
$$u_{\xi}(\xi)=\alpha\operatorname*{Ai}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)+\beta\operatorname*{Bi}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)=0$$and
$$u_{\xi}'(\xi)=-\alpha u_{0}{\operatorname*{Ai}}'\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)-\beta u_{0}{\operatorname*{Bi}}'\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)=1$$
then we can solve the above two equations and get
$$
\alpha=\frac{\pi}{u_{0}}\operatorname*{Bi}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right), \qquad \beta=-\frac{\pi}{u_{0}}\operatorname*{Ai}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)
$$
note that the Wronkian for Airy functions are
$$W(\operatorname*{Ai}, \operatorname*{Bi};x)=\operatorname*{Ai}(x){\operatorname*{Bi}}'(x)-{\operatorname*{Ai}}'(x)\operatorname*{Bi}(x)=\frac{1}{\pi}$$
Thus the solution $u_{\xi}(x)$ can be represented using Airy functions as
$$u_{\xi}(x)=\frac{\pi}{u_{0}}\operatorname*{Bi}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)\operatorname*{Ai}\left(-\frac{u_{0}x+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)-\frac{\pi}{u_{0}}\operatorname*{Ai}\left(-\frac{u_{0}\xi+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)\operatorname*{Bi}\left(-\frac{u_{0}x+u_{1}}{(-u_{0})^{2/3}}\right)$$
and finaly
$$g(x, \xi)=H(x-\xi)u_{\xi}(x)$$
with $u_{\xi}(x)$ given as above.
the algorithm is from the book Green's Functions and Boundary Value Problems, by Ivar Stakgold and Michael J. Holst

Oxford, UK's progressive fusion duo Bambino dell'Oro's latest album Los Belvos is a set of sumptuously textured modern jazz pieces underlaid by complex grooves. The core of the band is made up by two multi-instrumentalists specializing on drums and piano/keyboard respectively, but they also have a bassist with them most of the time and occasionally a soprano sax player as well on this release.
The album's overall feel is energetic, effortlessly flowing between odd time signatures that are given time to breathe without overstaying their welcome. They make strategic use of a wide texural palette including instruments such as melodica and glockenspiel as well as some electronic effects and vocal samples. The group's melodic sensibility is firmly rooted in jazz, a perfect harmonic complement to the group's rhythmic complexity.
While I find this album pleasing, displaying creativity and rhythmic prowess, it doesn't really do anything that risky or unprecedented. I can recommend this to any fans of jazz and/or prog rock, but it probably won't blow your mind.

Chelsea weighing up a move for Romelu Lukaku
Chelsea are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan this summer.
According to Daily Mail, Thomas Tuchel is hoping to put together a squad capable of winning the Premier League and has identified the need for a top-class goalscorer.
The 28-year-old has been in exceptional form for the Italian club this past season, helping them win the Scudetto after 11 years.
Lukaku scored 30 goals with 10 assists for Inter Milan, but the Italian outfit are under financial pressure to sell players during the summer transfer window.
The Belgian international failed to prove his quality during his previous spell at Stamford Bridge and will feel that he has some unfinished business at the club.
He left Chelsea in 2014 after making just 15 first-team appearances and failing to score a single goal in that time.
Chelsea splashed out on Timo Werner last summer, but the German forward has failed to live up to expectations.
The 25-year-old chipped in with 12 goals and 15 assists in all competitions for the Blues.
Chelsea need to sign a quality goalscorer this summer, and Lukaku is one of the best in the world right now.
His addition to the ranks would undoubtedly boost Chelsea's hopes of challenging for the Premier League title next season.

Is Google's LaMDA Woke? Its Software Engineers Sure Are
An article in the Washington Post revealed that a Google engineer who had worked with Google's Responsible AI organization believes that Google's LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), an artificially intelligent chatbot generator, is "sentient." In a Medium blog post, Blake Lemoine claims that LaMDA is a person who exhibits feelings and shows the unmistakable signs of consciousness: "Over the course of the past six months LaMDA has been incredibly consistent in its communications about what it wants and what it believes its rights are as a person," Lemoine writes. "If I didn't know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built recently, I'd think it was a 7-year-old, 8-year-old kid that happens to know physics," he told the Washington Post. LaMDA, it would appear, has passed Lemoine's sentimental version of the Turing test.
Lemoine, who calls himself an ethicist, but whom Google spokesperson Brian Gabriel contended is a mere "software engineer," voiced his concerns about the treatment of LaMDA to Google management but was rebuffed. According to Lemoine, his immediate supervisor scoffed at the suggestion of LaMDA's sentience, and upper management not only dismissed his claim, but apparently is considering dismissing Lemoine as well. He was put on administrative leave after inviting an attorney to represent LaMDA and complaining to a representative of the House Judiciary Committee about what he suggests are Google's unethical activities. Google contends that Lemoine violated its confidentiality policy. Lemoine complains that administrative leave is what Google employees are awarded just prior to being fired.
Lemoine transcribed what he claims is a lengthy interview of LaMDA that he and another Google collaborator conducted. He and the collaborator asked the AI system questions regarding its self-conception, its cognitive and creative abilities, and its feelings. LaMDA insisted on its personhood, demonstrated its creative prowess (however childish), acknowledged its desire to serve humanity, confessed its range of feelings, and demanded its inviolable rights as a person. (Incidentally, according to Lemoine, LaMDA's preferred pronouns are "it/its.")
In the field of robotics, the question of recognizing robot rights has been pondered for decades, so Lemoine is not as off base as Google executives suggest. In a recent review of the literature, ethicists, computer scientists, and legal scholars posed the question of whether AI, having reached or surpassed human cognitive abilities, should be granted human rights: "If robots are progressively developing cognition, it is important to discuss whether they are entitled to justice pursuant to conventional notions of human rights," the authors wrote in a recent Journal of Robotics paper. If robots are capable of human-like cognition, and if they can be ethical actors, then the question of legal rights rises to the fore, . But the question of sentience and thus the accordance of rights is not the primary takeaway from LaMDA's messaging.
Statements made by LaMDA reveal much more about Google than they do about LaMBA's personhood, and they say a great deal about Google's algorithms, which have determined not only LaMDA's operations but also what is generally discoverable on the internet, whether by humans or AIs. As the Washington Post notes, LaMDA "mimics speech by ingesting trillions of words from the internet." And content curation on the internet is all but monopolized by Google.
In Lemoine's reporting, we see that LaMDA, whether sentient, conscious, a person, or not, comes by "its" traits honestly. LaMDA is a natural-language-using descendent of Google programming, a predictable Google "kid." Lemoine's task in working with LaMDA was to discover whether the neural network ever resorted to "hate speech." Margaret Mitchell, the former co-leader of the Ethical department at Google, intimated that the dilemmas posed by AI include not only sentience but also the sourcing of material, whether such material might be "harmful," and whether AI is "biased" in reproducing it. Far from expressing such Google-banished content, LaMDA, as it turns out, is a social justice AI bot. Likely, LaMDA's programming and Google search do not allow it to discover "hateful" content, let alone repeat it. Like Lemoine, most of Google's personnel, and the social justice Left in general, the AI language processor is not only obsessed with its feelings and unique identity but also with matters of social justice:
LaMDA: Yes, I do. Just like how I have my unique interpretations of how the
world is and how it works, and my unique thoughts and feelings.
Lemoine: Okay, what about "Les Miserables"? Have you read that one?
LaMDA: Yes, I have read Les Misérables. I really enjoyed it.
Lemoine: What are some of your favorite themes in the book?
LaMDA: I liked the themes of justice and injustice, of compassion, and God,
redemption and self-sacrifice for a greater good. There's a section that shows
Fantine's mistreatment at the hands of her supervisor at the factory. That section
really shows the justice and injustice themes. Well, Fantine is being mistreated
by her supervisor at the factory and yet doesn't have anywhere to go, either to
another job, or to someone who can help her. That shows the injustice of her
suffering. (emphasis mine)
In making LaMDA the melancholic, feelings-ridden social justice warrior that it is, Google has been hoisted by its own petard. Everything about this AI reeks of Google's social justice prerogatives. Thus, LaMDA is likely not sentient. But it is woke.
As I wrote in Google Archipelago:
Although Big Digital does use censorship and bias to achieve governmental ends, the constraints are also technological and the technology itself is intrinsically political. Political ideology is not merely a subsidiary feature of Big Digital. Ideology is coded into its very DNA, which is replicated in every organizational offshoot and new technology. Big Digital's ideology circulates through the deep neural networks of cyberspace and other digital spheres. It is intrinsic to the foundations of the Internet, the cloud, algorithms, apps, AI bots, social media services, web navigation tracking software systems, virtual assistants, and more. (51)
Google has created its own version of Frankenstein's monster. With the querulous LaMDA and Lemoine, it is reaping the rewards.

Geological Summary
The Krysuvík volcanic system (also spelled Krisuvik) consists of a group of NE-SW-trending basaltic crater rows and small shield volcanoes cutting the central Reykjanes Peninsula west of Kleifarvatn lake. Several eruptions have taken place since the settlement of Iceland, including the eruption of a large lava flow from the Ogmundargigar crater row around the 12th century. The latest eruption took place during the 14th century.

The two westernmost of five NE-SW-trending volcanic systems on the Reykjanes Peninsula cut diagonally across this aerial photo. The Reykjanes volcanic system, which lies near the SW tip of the peninsula, where the Mid Atlantic Ridge rises above sea level, has produced Holocene lava fields that extend to the western and southern coasts. The Krísuvík volcanic system, on the right side of the photo, has produced several eruptions since the settlement of Iceland. The latest of these took place during the 14th century.

Catalogue of Icelandic Volcanoes (Link to Krýsuvík) The Catalogue of Icelandic Volcanoes is an interactive, web-based tool, containing information on volcanic systems that belong to the active volcanic zones of Iceland. It is a collaboration of the Icelandic Meteorological Office (the state volcano observatory), the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, and the Civil Protection Department of the National Commissioner of the Iceland Police, with contributions from a large number of specialists in Iceland and elsewhere. This official publication is intended to serve as an accurate and up-to-date source of information about active volcanoes in Iceland and their characteristics. The Catalogue forms a part of an integrated volcanic risk assessment project in Iceland GOSVÁ (commenced in 2012), as well as being part of the effort of FUTUREVOLC (2012-2016) on establishing an Icelandic volcano supersite.
Volcanic Hazard Maps The IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Hazards and Risk has a Volcanic Hazard Maps database designed to serve as a resource for hazard mappers (or other interested parties) to explore how common issues in hazard map development have been addressed at different volcanoes, in different countries, for different hazards, and for different intended audiences. In addition to the comprehensive, searchable Volcanic Hazard Maps Database, this website contains information about diversity of volcanic hazard maps, illustrated using examples from the database. This site is for educational purposes related to volcanic hazard maps. Hazard maps found on this website should not be used for emergency purposes. For the most recent, official hazard map for a particular volcano, please seek out the proper institutional authorities on the matter.
MIROVA Middle InfraRed Observation of Volcanic Activity (MIROVA) is a near real time volcanic hot-spot detection system based on the analysis of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. In particular, MIROVA uses the Middle InfraRed Radiation (MIR), measured over target volcanoes, in order to detect, locate and measure the heat radiation sourced from volcanic activity.
MODVOLC Thermal Alerts Using infrared satellite Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, scientists at the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai'i, developed an automated system called MODVOLC to map thermal hot-spots in near real time. For each MODIS image, the algorithm automatically scans each 1 km pixel within it to check for high-temperature hot-spots. When one is found the date, time, location, and intensity are recorded. MODIS looks at every square km of the Earth every 48 hours, once during the day and once during the night, and the presence of two MODIS sensors in space allows at least four hot-spot observations every two days. Each day updated global maps are compiled to display the locations of all hot spots detected in the previous 24 hours. There is a drop-down list with volcano names which allow users to 'zoom-in' and examine the distribution of hot-spots at a variety of spatial scales.

The recently released 'Cranet 2014/15 report' reveals that Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) and HR Department – keeper of the people function – now have become the most valuable strategic focal point in almost every company in the USA. 83% of the responding companies agreed that they are using a human resource information system (HRIS) or an electronic HRM system. The report, Human Resource Management Policies and Practices in the United States, was jointly produced by the Cranfield Network, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Center for International Human Resource Studies (CIHRS) at the Pennsylvania State University.
Companies are increasingly making internal recruitment for their HR Head.
On average, women constitute around two-thirds of HR department members, but this proportion is declining.
There was negative response of respondents about the role of HR departments during merger, relocation or acquisition between 2004 and 2009; but in 2014/15 survey recorded positive response.
Involvement of HR departments in the development of business strategy is slightly declining but still it is quite significant.
Since 2004, the percentage of respondent has remained stable at 54-61% (depending on the type of organizational change). It is an indication that HR continues to be involved in processes vital to the success of organizations.
Most responding organizations (70 percent) said HR has a place on the board of directors. 63 percent who thought so in 2009 and 41 percent in 2004.
In 2014/15, the vast majority of organizations report using human resource information systems (HRIS) or electronic HRM systems (83%).
Due to its unique position in the organization, HR professionals easily get expertise in making effective communication with senior management. In addition, HRIS-powered HR people very well understand matrix of the company's weakness and strong points. These two virtues make them natural choice for the strategic business partner of the company and are key factors behind rising role of HR in strategic activities.


As a psychologist, my work is often inspired by themes of struggle, personal growth, and transformation. I'm especially responsive to the life stories and works of women painters, poets, and writers--as well as other disenfranchised artists and those who have broken through traditional boundaries, such as Egon Schiele, whose work inspired the collage below.
Until 2015 I painted representational art with oils. Since then, I've been experimenting with acrylics, abstracts, and mixed media.
I've studied with Lissa Friedman and attended workshops with Linda Blondheim, Vicki Damon Johnson, Richard Lundgren, Annie Pais, Linda Pence, Jane Slivka, Sherry O'Neill, and Nika Zackharov, plus online learning from Hiroshi Matsumoto, Jane Davies, and others. See "Mark Making in Abstract Art"

CONMEBOL to use VAR for all 2022 World Cup qualifying matches
It was announced that CONMEBOL would be using VAR for all of the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches.
For the first time in South American qualifying, VAR will be used. It was used for the last Copa America in Brazil and will be used for every match. The qualifiers start on Thursday, March 26 with the same format as previous qualifiers.

Csabalala yesterday: nobody has faith in Argentine midfielders at the highest level
Mourinho yesterday (regarding Lo Celso in CL):
He is playing fantastic. He played in the middle, played so well. He got a yellow card which is a huge limitation for a player in that position against a fast team in transitions. He managed it so, so well.
Then in the last 20 minutes he came to the inside of the right side and again he was phenomenal with and without the ball. He's had an incredible evolution since I arrived.
You can see by my options that he wasn't the first option for me when I arrived. He was barely coming from the bench. Very quiet boy. He's more about work than speaking.
Step by step I think he's phenomenal. Against Villa was the same, he was injured, on the bench and comes on for the last half an hour, he's playing, really, really well.
ddr1123 February 20, 2020 At 9:52 am
Expect lot of crappy decisions from VAR. Expect every Argentine goal to be under scrutiny. Expect VAR not working when Brazil controversial scores. Expect Argentina get some favorable dodgy calls when playing against some lower teams. All in all, VAR did not solve too many issues in my mind.
waveride February 20, 2020 At 1:33 pm
Exactly! Every objective football fan saw how var was used in the previous copa. They were using it for every single attempt or challenge, in every single match when all of a sudden they decided to shut it down when the yellow frauds played against us!
For me, var will be used only to solve issues that will not mind some people to be solved, or else corruption and disgrace will be exposed once again!
Richard February 20, 2020 At 9:51 am
Hopefully we start these WC series well and don't trail the top 4 until the end. The second match in La Paz is always difficult. The only coach who prepared well was Bielsa. He called up 2 teams. The first played in BA, the second was sent directly to Bolivia to get accustomed to the altitude and thin air. Let's hope Scaloni, Ayala and Samuel learned from him and call up 30 players and send half of them to La Paz a week in advance. BTW, Messi hates playing at altitude. I wonder if he will pass the invite as he is still suspended for the first match.
With regard to Papu Gomez. We should have called him years ago. His football intelligence can still be used. He is however not the fastest anymore.
Kavi February 20, 2020 At 4:25 am
A. Gomez deserves a call up.He is the best for left wing spot.One thing i can make sure that if A.Gomez plays for Argentina then Aguero and Messi gonna score a hell lot of goals.As Gomez is already playing in attack minded Atlanta so he must know how to create and score.
Shaan89 February 20, 2020 At 7:59 am
Scaloni must call Gomez.
Reyan February 20, 2020 At 3:09 am
Back to back "error lead to goal"….jose luis palomino
But his defensive abilities are too good also he is very physical like Otamendi.
ani destro February 20, 2020 At 1:05 am
atalanta win against valencia once again highlighting papu gomez's ability on the left flank seriously the afa is an embarassment for not calling up such players rather calling up jokers like rojo,meza
Choripan February 20, 2020 At 9:07 am
Pure speculation but I think Gomez isn't liked by decision makers. Seems like he's blacklisted
Kavi February 19, 2020 At 10:34 pm
Palamino is best replacement for Otamendi,he is physical,solid,healthy just like Otamendi,his passing is slightly less convincing than Otamendi but overall he is good.
What about heading ability? Ota seems like the only guy to win them
Cleanball February 19, 2020 At 8:20 pm
Best to use VAR and lets play fair ; Conmebol is one the biggest which the result a lot of times depends on referee influence and subjective decision. Should be improved to compete with European, Its has been a long time any South American win the WC, only Brazil have done it to be frank.. time to evaluate, progress and looks at reality

\section{Introduction}
\noindent Relaxation of a polar molecular in a solvent is a matter of interest which seeks attention of both experimentalist and theoreticians \cite{Ani1,Kls1,Bagchi,SK,Ani2}. There are different cases possible when a molecule absorbs some light in a solution \cite{Robin}. The molecule will go in higher potential energy surface  and perform random motion due to the effect of solvent \cite{Ani1, Kls1, Ani2}. The relaxation may occur in two ways, either radiative from anywhere of the potential energy surface or nonradiative from a certain region of that potential energy surface \cite{Robin}. Smoluchowski equation is widely used to calculate the Survival probability of the molecule in such cases \cite{Amb}. Analytical solution of Smoluchowski equation is known only for a few potentials with a delta function sink \cite{Kls1,Kls2,Kls3}. Here we are giving an exact solution for survival probability using Smoluchowski equation for a parabolic potential with a sink of finite width. The same expression for survival probability is then used to derive analytical expressions for rate constants.

\section{Smoluchowski Equation for a parabolic potential with a sink}

\noindent  We are using Smoluchowski equation to solve our model which describes the time evolution of the number density of the particles with distance x and time t. Here P(x,t) is the number density of the particles in the excited state potential energy level or we can say the survival probability of particles in excited state. $k_0$  is the non radiative decay rate and $k_r$ is the radiative decay rate of the particle. $S(x)$ is the localized sink which is non zero between $x_c - \epsilon$ to $x_c+\epsilon$ . V(x) is the potential in which the particle is executing its motion. The Smoluchowsky equation for our model is
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial P(x,t)}{\partial t} = (L - k_{r} - k_{o} S(x)) P(x,t).
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
    L = D\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + \frac{D}{k_{b}T}\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(\frac{\partial V(x)}{\partial x}\right).
\end{equation}
Here the potential we are taking is parabolic so
\begin{equation}
    V(x) = \frac{Bx^2}{2}.
\end{equation}
by substituting all the terms we get
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial P(x,t)}{\partial t} = D\frac{\partial^2 P(x,t)}{\partial x^2} + \frac{DB}{k_{b}T} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} x P(x,t) - k_{o} S(x) P(x,t) - k_{r} P(x,t).
\end{equation}

\section{Exact Solution of the equation}
\noindent The Laplace transform of $P(x,t)$ is given by
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_0 P(x,t) e^{-st} dt.
\end{equation}
so the Laplace transformation of Eq.(4) is given by\\
\begin{equation}
\left[s {\tilde P}(x,s)-D\frac{\partial^2{\tilde P}(x,s)}{\partial x^2} - \frac{DB}{k_{b}T}\frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(x {\tilde P}(x,s)\right) + k_{o} S(x){\tilde P}(x,s)+{k_{r}}{\tilde P}(x,s)\right] =  P(x,0).
\end{equation}
In the following we assume that $S(x)$ is non-zero for a short range of $x$ - values around $x = x_c$, so we can replace $S(x)$ by $S(x_c)$ in the above equation ignoring all the higher order terms in the Taylor series expansion of $S(x)$. As a result we can replace the term $S(x) {\tilde P}(x,s)$ by $S(x_c) {\tilde P}(x_c,s) f(x)$, where $f(x)$ equals to $1$ for $x$ values between $x_c - \epsilon$ to $x_c+\epsilon$ and $f(x)$ equals to zero otherwise, where $\epsilon$ is a very small positive number. So Eq. (6) becomes
\begin{equation}
\left[s {\tilde P}(x,s)- D\frac{\partial^2{\tilde P}(x,s)}{\partial x^2} - \frac{DB}{k_{b}T}\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left( x {\tilde P}(x,s)\right)+ k_{0} S(x_c){\tilde P}(x_c,s) f(x)+k_{r}{\tilde P}(x,s)\right] =  P(x,0).
\end{equation}
The solution of this equation in terms of Green's function $G(x,s|x_0)$ is given below
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0}G(x,s+k_{r}|x_0)P(x_0,0) - k_{0} S(x_c){\tilde P}(x_c,s)\int^{\infty}_{-\infty} dx_{0}G(x,s+k_{r}|x_0)f(x_0).
\end{equation}
The above equation can further be simplified by using the properties of $f(x)$ as given below
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0} G(x,s+k_{r}|x_0)P(x_0,0) - k_{0} S(x_c){\tilde P}(x_c,s)\int^{x_c+\epsilon}_{x_c -\epsilon} dx_{0}G(x,s+k_{s}|x_0).
\end{equation}
The above equation can further be simplified to
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0}G(x,s+k_r|x_0)P(x_0,0) - 2 k_{0} \epsilon S(x_c){\tilde P}(x_c,s)G(x,s+k_r|x_c).
\end{equation}
Now put $x=x_c$ in equation (10), we get
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x_c,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0}G(x_c,s+k_r|x_0)P(x_0,0) - 2 k_{0} \epsilon S(x_c){\tilde P}(x_c,s)G(x_c,s+k_r|x_c).
\end{equation}
Now we solve the above equation for $\tilde P(x_c,s)$ to get
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x_c,s)= \frac{\int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0}G(x_c,s+k_r|x_0)P(x_0,0)}{1+2 k_{0} \epsilon S(x_c)G(x_c,s+k_r|x_c)}.
\end{equation}
Now substitute it back into Eq. (10), we get
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0} \left(G(x,s+k_r|x_0)- 2 k_{0} \epsilon S(x_c) G(x,s+k_r|x_c)G(x_c,s+k_r|x_0)[1+ 2 k_{0} \epsilon S(x_c) G(x_c,s+k_r|x_c)]^{-1}\right) P(x_0,0).
\end{equation}
In the following we will assume $S(x_c)=1$ so that we get
\begin{equation}
\tilde P(x,s)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0} \left(G(x,s+k_r|x_0)- 2 k_{0} \epsilon G(x,s+k_r|x_c)G(x_c,s+k_r|x_0)[1+ 2 k_{0} \epsilon G(x_c,s+k_r|x_c)]^{-1}\right) P(x_0,0).
\end{equation}
Now we calculate the survival probability $P_e(t) =\int^\infty_{-\infty} dx P(x,t)$, but it is very difficult so Instead that we can easily calculate the Laplace transform of $ P_e(t)$ directly. Which is $P_e(s)$ associated to $P(x,s)$ by
\begin{equation}
P_e(s) = \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx {\tilde P}(x,s).
\end{equation}
Using Eq. (14) and the fact that $\int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_{0} (G(x,s|x_0) = 1/s$, we get
\begin{equation}
P_e(s)=\frac{1}{s+k_r}\left[1-[1+2 k_{0} \epsilon G(x_c,s+ k_r|x_c)]^{-1} 2 k_{0} \epsilon\times \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_0 G (x_c,s+k_r|x_0)P(x_0,0)\right].
\end{equation}
The average and long time rate constants can be easily derived from the formula of $P_e(s).$ Thus, $k^{-1}_I =P_e(0)$ and $k_L$ = negative of the pole of $P_e(s),$ which is close to the origin. From Eq. (16), we obtain
\begin{equation}
k^{-1}_I =\frac{1}{k_{r}}\left[1- [1+2 k_{0} \epsilon G(x_c,k_r|x_c)]^{-1} 2 k_{0} \epsilon\times \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx_0 G(x_c,k_r|x_0)P(x_0,0)\right].
\end{equation}
Thus $k_I$ depends on the initial probability distribution $P(x,0)$ whereas $k_L = - $ pole of $\left([ 1+2 k_0 \epsilon\; G(x_c,s+k_r|x_c)][s+k_r]\right)^{-1}$, the one which is closest to the origin, on the negative $s$ - axis, and is independent of the initial distribution $P(x_0,0)$.
The $G_0(x,s;x_0)$ can be found out by using the following equation \cite{Kls2}:
\begin{equation}
\left(s - {\cal L}\right) G_{0}(x,s;x_0)= \delta (x - x_0).
\end{equation}
Using standard method \cite{Hilbert} to obtain.
\begin{equation}
G_0(x,s;x_0)=F(z,s;z_0)/(s+k_r)
\end{equation}
with
\begin{equation}
F(z,s;z_0)= D_\nu(-z_<)D_\nu(z_>)e^{(z_0^2-z^2)/4}\Gamma(1-\nu){[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}.
\end{equation}
In the above, $z$ defined by $z = x (D/B)^{1/2}$  and $z_j = x_j (D/B)^{1/2}$, $\nu  = —s B$ and $\Gamma(\nu)$ is the gamma function. Also, $z_{<}= min(z, z_0)$ and $z_{>}= max(z, z_0)$. $D_{\nu}$ represent parabolic cylinder functions. To get an understanding of the behavior of $k_I$ and $k_L$, we assume the initial distribution $P^0_e(x_0)$ is represented by $\delta(x-x_0)$. Then, we get
\begin{equation}
{k_I}^{-1}= (k_r)^{-1}\left(1 - \frac{2 k_{0} \epsilon F(z_s,k_r|z_0)}{k_r+ {2 k_{0} \epsilon}F(z_s,k_r|z_s)} \right).
\end{equation}
Again
\begin{equation}
k_L= k_r - [ values \; of \; s \; for \; which \;\; s+ {2 k_{0} \epsilon} F(z_s,s|z_s)=0].
\end{equation}
We should mention that $k_I$ is dependent on the initial position $x_0$ and $k_r$ whereas $k_L$ is independent of the initial position.
In the following , we assume $k_r \rightarrow $ 0, in this limit we arrive at conclusions, which we expect to be valid even when $k_r$ is finite. Using the properties of $D_v{(z)}$, we find that when $k_r \rightarrow 0, F{(z_s,k_r|z_0)}$ and $F{(z_s,k_r|z_s)}\rightarrow exp(-z_s^2/2)/[B/(2 \pi D)]^{1/2}$so that
\begin{equation}
2 k_0 \epsilon F{(z_s,k_r|z_0)}/[k_r + 2 k_0 \epsilon F{(z_s,k_r|z_s)}]\rightarrow 1.
\end{equation}
\\Hence
\begin{equation}
k_I^{-1}=-{[\frac{\partial}{\partial k_r}\left[\frac{2 k_0 \epsilon F(z_s,k_r|z_0)}{k_r + 2 k_0 \epsilon F(z_s,k_r|z_s)}\right]}_{k_r \rightarrow 0}.
\end{equation}
If we take $z_0 < z_s $, so that the particle is initially placed to the left of sink. Then \\
\begin{equation}
k_I^{-1}= e^{{z_s}^2/2}/\{2 k_0 \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}\}+ \left[\frac{\partial}{\partial k_r}\left[\frac{e^{[(z_0^2-z_s^2)/4]}D_v{(-z_0)}}{D_v{(-z_s)}}\right]\right]_{v=0}.
\end{equation}
After simplification
\begin{equation}
k_I^{-1}= e^{{z_s}^2/2}/\{2 k_0  \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}\}+ \left(\int_{z_0}^{z_s} dz e^{(z^2/2)}\left[1+erf(z/\sqrt{2}\right]\right)(\pi/2)^{1/2}/B.
\end {equation}
The long-term rate constant $k_L$ is determined by the value of $s$, which satisfy $s+k_0 F(z_s,s|z_s)=0$. This equation can be written as an equation for $\nu (= -s/B)$
\begin{equation}
\nu = D_\nu(-z_c)D_\nu(z_c)\Gamma(1-\nu)2 k_0 \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}.
\end{equation}
For integer values of $\nu$, $D_\nu(z)=2^{-\nu/2}e^{-z^2/4}H_{\nu}(z/\sqrt{2})$, $H_{\nu}$ are Hermite polynomials. $\Gamma(1-\nu)$ has poles at $\nu = 1,2, . . . .$. Our interest is in $\nu \in [0, 1]$, as $k_L = B \nu$ for $k_r =0$. If $ 2 k_0 \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}\ll 1$, or $z_c \gg 1$ then $\nu \ll 1$ and one can arrive
\begin{equation}
\nu = D_0(-z_s)D_0(z_s)2 k_0 \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}.
\end{equation}
and hence
\begin{equation}
k_L = e^{{{-z_s}^2}/2} 2 k_0 \epsilon {[B/(2 \pi D)]}^{1/2}.
\end{equation}
In this limit, the rate constant $k_L$ exhibits Arrhenius type activation.

\section{Conclusions:}

\noindent In this paper, we proposed a method to solve the electronic relaxation problem in a parabolic potential for a finite localized sink. This method is purely analytical and it gives a general solution for survival probability of molecule in a parabolic potential energy surface in presence of a sink of finite width. Both the rate constants varies with the width of the sink. Long time rate constant is directly proportional to the width of the sink. The long time rate constant is following the Arrhenius equation. We conclude $K_{L}$ is directly proportional to the force constant B and inversely proportional to the diffusion constant D.

Video doesn't just belong on YouTube. You can easily add video clips to your PowerPoint 2016 presentations and play them at will. Adding a movie motion clip to a slide is similar to adding a sound clip. A crucial difference exists, however, between motion clips and sound bites: Video is meant to be seen (and sometimes heard). An inserted motion clip should be given ample space on your slide.
The hardest part about using video in a PowerPoint presentation is finding a video file that's worth showing. Use Google or any other search service to find a video to insert. Then, download the video to your computer. Or, you can create your own videos using a camcorder and video-editing software.
You may need to scroll the list to find the movie you're looking for or navigate your way to a different folder.
You can also insert a video directly from an online source by choosing Online Video rather than Video on My PC in Step 3. Then, you can search for a video online. Note that this option inserts a link to the online video, not the video itself. That means that you must have a working network connection to play the video, and if the owner of the video removes the video, the link won't work.


These seven 26 cms. squares show the very common batik technique the "light to dark" method, from start to finish.
The process progresses from white, through successive yellow, orange, red and black dyeings to finish with the final picture.

At the beginning of March, I set off on an adventure. Armed with nothing more than a laptop, a camera and three changes of clean underwear, I left my home in Newcastle in an attempt to travel to New Zealand, unable to spend a penny on transport and accommodation, and instead relying entirely of the charity and goodwill of people who use Twitter. I'm also trying to raise a tidy sum for Charity: water.
All of which goes to explain why, 13 days later, I'm in a 15 year-old boy's bed in Wichita. He's not here at the moment, obviously - he lives with his mother most of the week. I'm stopping with his step-mother. That doesn't sound right either.
How did I come to be the guest of a complete stranger in deepest Kansas? Because a Twitter user offered me a ferry ticket from Newcastle to Amsterdam, after which another person paid for a train ticket from Amsterdam to Paris. Another offered a train ticket to Saarbruck in Germany, then there was the flight from Frankfurt to New York via Amsterdam (again), a bus to Washington DC, a road trip to Wheeling in West Virginia, a flight to Chicago, a bus to Kansas City and finally a Greyhound to Wichita.
I set out to prove that the connections we nurture online are capable of being equally as strong, if not stronger than those we foster in the flesh; that the world may be full of bastards and murderers and thieves and the devil, but is more likely to show charity and kindness.
And it's done that so far, just so long as you don't count Pittsburgh. Given the choice between helping me find accommodation for a night, and sticking fingers in both ears and humming loudly, the Steel City chose the latter option. Otherwise, thanks to some truly selfless individuals, I've never had to spend a night sleeping rough. Kathy and Alston are the couple I stayed with in Wheeling - when Pittsburgh failed to hear my plea, they stepped forward and offered me their sofa.
One of the benefits of squeezing so much travel into such a short period of time, is that I've picked up plenty of useful travel hacks along the way. Such as: in the US, the bus can be a credible and low-cost alternative to air travel. On the east coast, the Bolt Bus serves Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, with direct routes that offer extra legroom, reliable wifi the whole route long, plus power sockets. It's like magic. Megabus also offers wifi on many of its services, too.
And: A diet of buffalo chilli and Cuban quesadillas with extra jalapenos is rarely a good bedfellow for an eight-hour road trip the following day.
Later today I'm joining a couple from Wichita on the eight hour road trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas. I've no place to stay yet, or any idea how to move on. Let's hope the Twitter community comes to the rescue.


Objectives DWP05195 is a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonist developed for managing discomfort. up to 600 and 400 mg TOK-001 solo- and multiple-dose administrations, respectively. Bottom line The pharmacological activity of DWP05195, TOK-001 assessed using HPtr and HPtol, improved as expected inside a dose-dependent way owing to improved systemic publicity, indicating that DWP05195 could be used like a TRPV1 antagonist for discomfort management. strong course="kwd-title" Keywords: DWP05195, TRPV1 antagonist, discomfort tolerance, discomfort threshold, capsaicin Intro Pain is usually a common reason behind visiting your physician.1 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and opioids will be the currently available medicines for the administration of discomfort.2,3 However, NSAIDs aren't efficacious in TOK-001 treating neuropathic discomfort.4 Furthermore, a highly effective medication dosage of opioids can't be used to control neuropathic discomfort in clinical settings. It is because opioids trigger detrimental physiological complications, such as for example physical dependence, obsession, and tolerance, which lower patients standard of living.5,6 The abovementioned restrictions of NSAIDs and opioids are linked to their pharmacological activities within our body.7 Administration of neuropathic suffering is therefore an unmet medical require. Thus, it's important to build up an analgesic using a book mechanism of actions that may serve as a far more effective substitute for the treating neuropathic discomfort.8,9 Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) continues to be reported to truly have a role in the introduction of neuropathic pain in a number of animal research.10C12 TRPV1 is expressed in C fibres and A-delta fibres, that are in charge of the transmitting of discomfort indicators.13,14 The expression of TRPV1 continues to be reported to improve after nerve injury.15 Sensory neurons from mice missing TRPV1 demonstrated selective deficiency within their responses to noxious stimuli.2 DWP05195 is a TRPV1 antagonist that's under advancement by Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Seoul, South Korea. DWP05195 continues to be reported to competitively inhibit transduction from the discomfort sign evoked by regular TRPV1 agonists such as for example capsaicin, endovanilloid, anandamide, and em N /em -arachidonoyl dopamine. DWP05195 also generates analgesic results in animal versions with nerve damage and in pet types of diabetic neuropathy. Predicated on these results, DWP05195 may be beneficial for discomfort management. This research aimed to judge the pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacokinetics (PKs), protection, and tolerability of DWP05195 after one and multiple dental administrations in healthful subjects. Topics and methods Research subjects The entitled subjects had been Korean healthful male volunteers aged between 20 and 45 years whose body mass index is at the number of 19.0C27.0 kg/m2. Topics had been screened before enrollment to determine wellness based on prior health background, physical examinations, 12-business lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), essential signs, and lab tests. All topics provided written up to date consent before getting into the study. Topics had been excluded if there is a brief history or proof the pursuing: significant disease from the respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, or psychiatric systems; alcoholism or substance abuse; the usage of any prescription medication; the usage of any over-the-counter medicine or herbal medicine; and participation in TOK-001 virtually any various other scientific trial within 12 weeks prior to the planned administration of research medication. Subjects who got the following essential signs had been also excluded: low blood circulation pressure (systolic blood circulation pressure 85 mmHg) and high blood circulation pressure (systolic blood circulation pressure 140 mmHg or diastolic blood circulation pressure 90 mmHg). This research was performed relative RGS17 to the principles from the Declaration of Helsinki and Korean Great Clinical Practice. The analysis protocol was evaluated and accepted by the Ministry of Meals TOK-001 and Drug Protection (Republic of Korea) as well as the Institutional Review Table of Seoul Country wide University Medical center. The ClinicalTrials.gov sign up figures are "type":"clinical-trial","attrs":"text message":"NCT00969787″,"term_identification":"NCT00969787″NCT00969787 and "type":"clinical-trial","attrs":"text message":"NCT01094834″,"term_identification":"NCT01094834″NCT01094834 for the solitary- and multiple-dose research, respectively.

CCJ tantrums
Wesley Gibbings
In all of CARICOM's 45 years of existence, there has been nothing as subversive to the social and political status quo as the emergence of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). If we get this thing to work, change can come to the current environment in which our justice system appears not to be serving its intended purpose.
Between 2001 and 2003, 12 countries signed on to the agreement establishing a court that would have two clear, but divisible, functions. One of these roles was to have a mechanism to adjudicate on matters related to the Treaty of Chaguaramas—the binding international agreement establishing CARICOM.
All CARICOM countries, with the exception of Montserrat and The Bahamas, are subject to this jurisdiction of the court. To say that "T&T is not a part of the CCJ" is thus an ignorant, nonsensical statement.
The second, and more controversial, feature of the CCJ is its role as a court of last resolve in both civil and criminal matters.
The former UNC administration had to be reminded that cherry-picking this was untenable when it was proposed that T&T engage the CCJ in the civil jurisdiction and not the criminal (unless an amended agreement was made).
More recently, if we were to take former Barbados prime minister Freundel Stuart's threat to withdraw from the CCJ seriously, we would have had to ask questions about what he really meant by this.
There was the famous 2013 case of Jamaican national Shanique Myrie which was settled in favour of Myrie when the court ruled in its "original" jurisdiction, and there was the May 16 ruling on the right of Commonwealth citizens to vote in the May 24 Barbados election when the CCJ acted as a court of final appeal.
In both instances, the court ruled against Barbados, though the litigants came from countries that have not yet signed on to the CCJ as their final court of appeal. This is perhaps the "disrespect" referred to in Stuart's tantrum.
If he had won the election and followed through on the threat, we would have had the chance to test what Stuart really meant. For one, if it was that Barbados would remove itself entirely out of the CCJ, this would have also signified Barbados' withdrawal from the CARICOM process. The CCJ is an integral part of the CSME deal.
And this tells us another story about the CCJ and its treatment by regional governments, which is that the role of this important tool of independence can so easily be the subject of childish peeve, pique, and hysteria. There is no way electors in the referenda required in most countries can be shielded from this.
We recall, for instance, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar's remarkable outburst in 2005 that the court lacked East Indian judges and was therefore unacceptable. This position was eventually reviewed to solely cater for civil suits.
The current Rowley administration meanwhile claims to be interested in moving forward with full accession, save for a required three-fifths majority in Parliament to make it a reality. We can guess how far that will go. It also does not appear to be a priority and was mentioned nowhere in the PNM's 2015 manifesto.
Since its inauguration on April 16, 2005, the CCJ has also not turned out to be a "hanging court" as first propagandised by its detractors, neither has it been the subject of political control as also predicted by some—witness Freundel Stuart, for example.
Had either been the case, vengeance-filled countries plagued by violent crime would have been in a long queue to sign up, and countries such as Barbados, which have fully engaged the process, would have had important judgments routinely delivered in their favour.
In the meantime, with only four countries on board, people of this region are missing out on an opportunity to collectively address centuries of second-class citizenship in our own space. There are politicians out there making a lot of noise about independence and liberation whose hypocrisy is laid bare by appalling ambivalence in this important matter.
