Isolation and purification of a diagnostic antigen for bovine cysticercosis by hydrophobic chromatography.
An ammonium sulfate fraction of Taenia hydatigena cyst fluid (ThFAS) was further fractionated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, using alkylagarose and ω-amino alkylagarose columns, in an effort to isolate and purify a specific diagnostic antigen in the ThFAS preparation. The <12 kDa antigen had an affinity for immobilized alkanes with chain length of six carbons or greater. The antigen was recovered in an ethylene glycol eluate from a hexylagarose column then analysed by Western blot; it reacted with bovine and human cysticercosis infection sera and with specific monoclonal antibodies but not with control sera or fascioliasis infection sera. When the eluate was used as coating antigen in a plate ELISA assay no false positive reactions were seen in sera from cattle...

Pro-Palestinian Pensacola community 'passionately' condemns Israel-Palestine violence
Dania Kalaji
In a deafening chant, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in peaceful solidarity at the Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza in downtown Pensacola on May 22.
In the two weeks since, the University of West Florida Muslim Student Association members who led and organized the demonstration have only strengthened their commitments.
Following recent violence and rising tensions beginning in mid-April between Israel and Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank, MSA has circulated awareness and information on Facebook and through members' individual social media platforms.
Although MSA President Emen Sukhera is a young Pakistani student, she recognizes the power of her voice as an American and strives to raise awareness on the role she believes the U.S. plays in the persistent injustices affecting Palestinian people.
"We are standing on the side of the oppressor — the United States is funding Israel around like $3 billion a year and those are essentially my taxpayer dollars — I can no longer turn a blind eye to it," Sukhera said.
Truce:Israel, Egypt talk truce with Hamas, rebuilding Gaza Strip
Timeline of conflict:Why the 2021 Israeli-Palestinian fighting is among the most brutal in years
The territorial conflict is marked by a long history of power imbalance between Israel and Palestinian people dating back to the late 19th century decline of the Ottoman Empire, a rise of Arab nationalism and western European Jews arriving to Palestine, according to UWF international relations and U.S. foreign policy professor Jacob Shively.
As Israel currently occupies Palestinian territory, Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza or inside Israel are subject to police riots, Israeli airstrikes targeting the Gaza Strip and storms of holy mosques such as Al-Aqsa by Israeli police, according to Amnesty International.
Shively said this is a dispute of territory and national and religious identity, which culminates in a difficult position to reach reconciliation.
"It's messy," Shively said. "The impulse is for most folks to say, well, one side or the other is wrong — but it's usually a lot more complicated than that. In this case, we could say (Palestinian militant) Hamas was acting irresponsibly as a terror organization against Israel, but Israel was, you know, potentially using disproportionate violence. It's not just Hamas, but then the citizens of Gaza. It's not an either or, and it could be both are in any given conflict."
A ceasefire has held since May 21 between Israel and Hamas, the group ruling the Gaza strip, coming after 11 days of fighting.
Although Israel and Hamas have both claimed victory in the latest conflict, Shively said that they have essentially returned to their "starting point," and no political progress has been made.
As a result, hundreds of Palestinians and Israelis have died, thousands are injured and 72,000 Palestinians are displaced, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Opinion:I'm a Palestinian American and my dad is older than the oppressive state of Israel
Casualty of Israeli-Hamas fighting:The Palestinian two-state solution?
As the most recent conflict heated up thousands of miles away, Sukhera gathered her MSA officers, carefully planned the protest, dispersed flyers around town and made her way to the corner of Palafox and Garden streets with a megaphone in hand, a traditional Palestinian scarf around her neck and her voice as her power.
Cars drove by the intersection throughout the hour and honked both in support and in opposition.
"It's time to fight for the basic human rights of the Palestinian people, to advocate for their right to exist peacefully in their homes without the constant threat of Israeli intimidation. If there's injustice anywhere in the world, it's a threat to humanity everywhere," Sukhera said.
As swells of green, red and black quickly filled downtown Pensacola that afternoon, Palestinian mother and journalist Fadwa Basha could be seen at the front of the crowd with her four children dressed head to toe in the colors of the Palestinian flag.
Born in Dallas, Basha lived in Palestine for 22 years and now resides in Pensacola writing for Alquds, a Palestinian newspaper, and various Palestinian magazines.
At one point, Sukhera held the megaphone up to Basha's 7-year old son to lead the protesters in chants.
"I stand with Palestine, but not just because they are my people or because I am Palestinian, but because I lived there and I saw with my own eyes what has been happening there for decades. The world is trying to make this a religious issue, but it's really about occupation," Basha said.
Although the protest brought the community together, especially the large Palestinian community present in Pensacola, Basha said she still feels like she's fighting alone.
However, she looks at her children with utmost hope that the younger generation strives to utilize social media as a platform that brings more attention to credible information regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
"They prove that they are strong and stronger than the last generation. They are very aware of what's happening in the world, they fight for peace and for what is fair. I only hope to do the same and guide my children the right way to better humanity and the world," Basha said.
Sukhera said she feels thankful and "emotional" to look around at her fellow 15 MSA members where she recognizes that same "passionate" spark for human rights.
MSA will unite with the Pensacola Party for Socialism and Liberation to host another protest on Saturday in the same downtown location.

Cash Cow Dylan Review (Dylan Miller)
Dylan Miller is a YouTube automation expert who wants to help as many other people as he can live their best life. He does that through his Tube Money Masterclass course. Inside, members learn a proven system to win with YouTube without recording videos or showing their face. Think Top 10 lists, reaction videos, tutorials, relaxing music, ASMR, gaming, animation, memes, motivation, celebrity news. You get the idea. But does it still work? Or is it too saturated?
According to Dylan's success stories, it absolutely still works. Take Jordan, for example, who earned $13k last month. Or Christian, who says he's super excited to cross the $30k mark. Before finding Dylan, he had tried lots of other YouTube courses and programs, but to no avail. Joining Tube Money Masterclass proved to be an excellent decision. Another guy, Eric, wrote in the Facebook group that he'd just reached the $100 per day (in Google Ads earnings) milestone. Pretty cool.
"Hey what's up guys," says a different dude in a Yankees hat, as he films a selfie-style testimonial video. "This is Tim Jay and I'm one of Dylan's Master YouTube students. And I just wanna say hands down the program is awesome. There are things in there that I could never have imagined for YouTube. I think it's a great program; it's some tactics that I've never heard of. And also, the support is second to none. 'Cause they're always there to help you out and give you a helping hand."
Jim, who could double as Santa, hopped on video as well. He's apparently helped other experts create their courses in the past, so he knows firsthand what separates the good from the bad. Based on his observations, Dylan's coaching program is the former. There's a ton of detailed content. But it's easy to understand and actually do something with. The techniques can be used in any niche, which gives you more options. Dylan's also good about updating old content and adding new stuff whenever something changes.
Dylan Yt Awards
"I can't tell ya how huge this is," Jim says. "Normally others just write a course, throw it online and never touch it again. And if they ever do update it, it comes out as a 2.0 version that you have to pay for again. Trust me, when it comes to any course that involves social media sites like YouTube or Facebook, the material can become outdated in a very short period of time. And the last thing I'd like to mention is, the Facebook group is very supportive, and no question that is asked goes unanswered. It's an enthusiastic two thumbs up from me."
Perhaps the most insightful feedback comes from Jordan, who's been in the course for a year now. In that time he's amassed about 75,000 subscribers for his new cash cow channel. Total view count? Nearly 5 million. Estimated revenue? Roughly $13 Gs. Several of his videos have gone viral. "Yeah man," Jordan says, "safe to say Dylan's course was a great investment for me. I understand if you're feeling skeptical, if you think it's too good to be true, but YouTube automation is the only thing to ever work for me."
There's a whole bunch of other screenshots as well, coming from people who seem happy they got involved with Dylan. Can't say it doesn't work—that it's too crowded, right? As for how long that'll be the case, that's a different story. There's a boatload of courses teaching this now and quite a few done-for-you services popping up, so you still wonder about longevity; whether it's something you can still make money with a year or two from now, right?

Choosing Our Children's Future
Education in the Elections
Governors play a crucial role in directing a state's education policy. From approving budgets, signing and vetoing legislation, and in many states appointing the state superintendent and more, the position of governor possesses significant power to affect the lives of millions of children. The Southern Education Foundation has compiled education policy positions from the Democratic and Republican candidates seeking election in the three southern governor seats open in 2019 (Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi).

Why Governor Races Are Important…
To bring about deep system change...states must address several policy pillars. Governors are uniquely positioned to carry out that work. They are the only state leaders who oversee the entire pipeline from birth through postsecondary education and into the workforce.
-National Governors Association
Governors set the agenda and determine policy priorities. They drive critical funding decisions for everyone involved in the education ecosystem and play the single most important role in ensuring equity for historically marginalized students.
- Southern Education Foundation
According to the annual report, Is School Funding Fair? A National Report Card, Mississippi and Tennessee rank in the bottom ten nationally for per-pupil education expenditure.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-piece Knife Block Set Review 2022
Hand-sharpened, Precision-forged Zwilling J.a. Henckels Four Star 8-piece Knife From Germany That Slices Things Like Butter and Lasts a Lifetime
Made with high carbon steel
Precision-forged blade
3/4 tang and full bolster
Retains sharp edge longer
Polypropylene handles for grip and comfort
Knives not visible through block
Slightly lighter in weight, which may not suit everyone
If what you're looking for are knives that have sharp blades, aren't too heavy, maintain their edge, and have a quality build, check out the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-piece knife block set review below, as it can prove to be a pretty smart choice.
With around three centuries of experience, Zwilling gives you world-class German-made knives, and this particular set has everything that you could ever want to work within the kitchen.
Are you thinking of investing in quality kitchen knives that won't die on you within a year? These knives from Zwilling J.A. Henckels will not let you down and will last for life due to their thick and strong forged steel blades.
With the magic of German craftsmanship, Henckels knives are made with a single piece of high-carbon steel that goes through a unique process called Friodur (more on this later.) This transforms the knives into the razor-sharp and robust knives that Henckels is proud of.
The 8-piece set includes:
4″ paring knife
5″ serrated utility knife
5.5″ prep knife
8″ bread knife
8″ chef's knife
Sharpening steel
Hardwood block
Let's dive in and explore their features in detail in this Zwilling J.A. Henckels 8-piece knife block set review.

Design of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Knife
The way a kitchen knife is designed says a lot about how it will perform. You want durable, stain-resistant blades and sharp edges, and that's exactly what Henckels' knives give you.
With thin, razor-like edges, these kitchen knives let you slice away stuff without applying much pressure. Plus, they're angled at 15° on each side to give you the balance you need.
You can also see their logo and a 'made in Germany' sign on the sides of the shiny blades – a perfect opportunity to show off your branded knives at a dinner party.
Moving down the knife, you'll notice that the bolster, which is the connection between the blade and handle, is nice and full. This not only helps in balancing the knife but also acts as a finger guard.
Handles are equally important, of course. The polypropylene handles on these knives give you a good grip while also adding to their durability.
Don't forget that the set also includes honing steel, so you never have a dull knife day.
Here's some more insight into the structure and features of the Four Star set:
As mentioned earlier, Henckels knives undergo a process called Friodur. During this, the blades, after heating and molding, are cooled down to a very low temperature, – 90°.
This helps restructure the molecules in the steel, which results in a more robust, thicker, yet sharp blade that retains its edge twice as long. Moreover, this steel is stain/corrosion resistant, making the knife even more durable.
The most sought-after feature of a knife is a forged, high carbon steel. That's precisely what this knife has to offer. With a special formula steel, these knives are made in Germany and hand-sharpened to give you a paper-thin edge right out of the box.
However, these knives also have a ¾ tang, which some people don't prefer. However, if the slightly lighter weight doesn't bother you, you're good to go. Plus, the full bolster helps balance the knife well, making that missing ¼ of a tang barely noticeable.
Polypropylene handles may not be the heavy feel and rustic look that some people want, but they have their own advantages. This material gives you a better grip, and these particular handles are chip-resistant. Drop it or drag it–they won't break.
Moreover, the full bolster acts as a barrier between your finger and the blade so that you can polish your knife skills without any worries.

Wooden Block
The wooden block you get with the Four Star set is not anything extraordinary. On the bright side, though, it is made of quality hardwood, which makes it durable. You also get extra slots for steak knives that you can fill up with any other knives you want.
Handling the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Knives
Ever heard Gordon Ramsay say 'let the knife do the work?'
When you use these knives, you'll know what he means. Cutting with them is effortless and results in clean cuts. You won't be crushing those poor veggies and have their juices oozing out, and neither will your steaks have serrated cuts.
The knives also have a balanced structure, thanks to the full bolsters. Overall, though, they feel slightly lighter than other knives, so it's a matter of your preference as to whether you like holding them or not.
Moreover, maintaining these knives is easy, and you can even get away with dishwashing them once or twice. It's recommended, however, that you don't do that, since it can seriously damage the blade in the long run.
If you take proper care of them, these knives retain their edge twice as long as other knives, and you'll only need to sharpen them once or twice a year.

How much is the Zwilling J.A. Henckels 8-piece Knife Block Set?
The 8-piece Knife set is a mid-range, slightly expensive set. However, if you think of it as an investment, the price doesn't seem steep, as they're built to last you a long periods of time.
Dimensions: 16.75 x 9.75 x 5.5 inches
Weight: 6 pounds
Material: Steel, polypropylene
Made in: Germany
Warranty: Limited
Manufacturer: Zwilling
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-piece Knife Block Set Review Final Verdict
While their slightly lighter weight may put you off, these world-class knives have a quality build and sharpness that is hard to ignore. The forged from a single steel blade, which undergo Friodur, can retain their edges twice as long and will slice your food away like its butter.
Overall, to summarize our Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-piece knife set review, we think the knife block set is an investment worth making.


After a fantastic evening at the Au10tix pool party at the Aria in Las Vegas, the first day of KNOW 2019 has come to close.
The focus of today's sessions was education. A series of exclusive master classes was a new edition to programming for KNOW 2019, bringing identity professionals from various industries together to share lessons learned from the front lines.
The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) announced the launch of Breach Clarity, a new tool to empower victims of data breaches to decode what a breach means to them and how they can minimize the risk of identity theft and fraud.
KNOW 2019 emcee Dave Birch and colleagues from Consult Hyperion also conducted a three-course series on the foundational components of digital identity and how the landscape has evolved.
Yubico and Netflix gave a presentation on "The death of the password," where the two companies walked through the flow of various components of MFA — what you know, what you have, and who you are — and how they can come together to create a secure and efficient environment for users and employees.
The Sunday master classes also featured a full crash course on the emerging field of self-sovereign identity. Heather Vescent and Learning Machine's Kim Hamilton Duffy kicked off with an overview of SSI as a new paradigm for identity. Drummond Reed, Chief Trust Officer of Evernym, then offered a 201 course on the practical applications of SSI built on the Hyperledger Indy and the Sovrin Network.
Thanks to the presenters and attendees who built an excellent foundation for the rest of KNOW 2019 content.


After traveling through Southeast Asia, I returned to Japan where my host family had held my luggage for me before I headed home. I had one final day to wander through the streets of Kyoto, sit by the kamogawa river that is so central to the city, and eat at my favorite ramen shop. It did feel sort of odd being there knowing that my friends had already made their ways home. At night, the girls hosted a closing dinner and showed me their keyboard pieces since I wasn't going to be there to see them perform in the coming month. We ate sukiyaki (my favorite meal) in the tatami room that's used for special occasions, and my koto instructor even showed up! At the end, the Kojimas gave me some souvenirs to take with me including a sack of Japanese rice so my family could also have a taste.
On the following morning, my host family drove me to the airport where we said our final goodbyes. Of course it was a bit sad. Just as adjusting to life in Japan came with its difficulties, I knew that it would take time to make the switch back. Part of me somehow felt like it was already time to leave though, some sort of break was necessary. I know that if it's up to me I'll be returning one day, though I'm not quite sure in what capacity or for how long just yet. When that time comes I'll make sure to meet up with the Kojimas, but till then I'll make sure to keep communications open.
From Kansai International I flew over to Beijing where I took advantage of a long layover and their 72 hour transit visas to do some final sightseeing. From there, I took a 10 hour flight to Honolulu where I stayed with Kirsten (a friend from my study abroad program) and her family. I never thought I'd be going to Hawaii, even for a short stay, but I've developed a travel bug and try to take advantage of any chance to see new places. Her father is actually a Williams alumni so conversations about Amherst naturally came up and that was a bit nostalgic considering I haven't been there for so long. After dinner we sat around watching Dancing with the Stars and that's when I realized how much I was looking forward to being back home with my own family.
You can see views of the huge crater and even of the beaches of Waikiki from Diamond Head's peak. This picture's taken from a preserved WWII bunker that was used in preparation to fend off the Japanese.
We went on an early morning hike on Diamond Head where signs were also in Japanese for the tourists who frequent the islands. Hawaii is probably the most Japanese part of the U.S. you'll find, and my friend's mother is actually Japanese. We ate Moco Locos at the beach before I headed to the airport and flew off to Seattle, connecting to a flight for Boston. I stayed there for about two days going through orientation for my summer internship and it was because they were flying me in domestically that I had them get me a flight from Hawaii. I also took this time to adventure Boston, becoming a tourist within the U.S. as well. I rearranged my wallet by this point, removing my clipped Japanese residency card, medical insurance cards, and any remaining yen. It started settling in that I'd left Japan for good.
Once I was done with orientation, I flew to New York where my family picked me up for a very quick dinner reunion. I went back to the airport a couple of hours after I'd arrived to start another backpacking trip, this time in Europe! I'd also planned this one months ago so I was able to save an unbelievable amount. This trip took me through Barcelona, Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Rome, meeting up with Amherst friends I hadn't seen in very long.
Quickly went over to Ihop with my niece, mom and sister before heading back to the airport. Notice the peace signs…probably forever cursed with them in photos after Japan.
The red telephone booths are really everywhere in London! As are the red double decker buses and many other things you'd expect, but what we as Americans understand as the British accent isn't as common here as you'd think.
I guess my biggest impression of Europe was on the diversity of co-existing cultures in such proximity to one another. You can take a flight from an airport that only serves short haul flights and encounter so many languages. There's the European Union, sharing currency and allowing next to unregulated travel between borders, but maybe this is what has allowed each country to manifest a nationalism in preserving itself.
Had to experience a sunset in front of the Eiffel Tower. Someone even proposed to their girlfriend behind me!
I grew up in a Catholic home so I had to visit the Vatican for my mom. Here's St. Peter's Basilica.
Something I've considered more while traveling is if I could become an expat and commit to a life outside of the U.S. I'd naturally try to imagine myself in Japan but the longer I stayed there the more I questioned if it was somewhere I could feel at home long term. In Japan, I was nearly always spoken to in English unless I initiated the conversation, and that was just one way in which I felt like an outsider. I felt wholly accepted by those who knew me though. The whole foreigner in Japan outlook isn't something I see changing in my lifetime but one can feel like an outsider right at home, and maybe it would be a nice challenge to establish your place somewhere solely on your own terms.
I think I'd enjoy living abroad for at least a couple of years but in comparing this to these past few months studying abroad, the length is much longer, the where much more ambiguous. The more places I saw, the more I realized it could but didn't necessarily have to be Japan. For example, I found comfort in the diversity of large concentrated communities of expats in places such as Singapore and Hong Kong. In Spain, I felt treated as one of their own when spoken to in Spanish, even if it was obvious I was a tourist. But Japan is still important to me in its own special way. I speak some French but in the middle of trying to switch my rusty gears back while in Paris, the Japanese iie would slip out in place of non. I also found myself thinking, "Don't forget Omar, you need to bring back souvenirs for mom and your sisters", straight from Japan's omiyage culture.
This past month looped me from Southeast Asia, across the Pacific and then over the Atlantic to Europe. I carried with me Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 and finished it right before arriving home. It's been fun seeing differences between societies but this didn't mean comparing them, rather accepting that things just work differently in other places. It was even interesting just seeing the different McDonald's menus countries came up with.
Study abroad. Leave for a semester. Can you make it two? Even better! When else will you be able to travel at this age and with this vigor?
Acquaint yourself with your location. You should leave with at least a few contacts and be convinced that it is worth returning to one day. Also travel domestically, it'll allow you to see different sides of the country's people. Japan isn't nearly as large as the U.S. but the difference between an Okinawan and someone from Hokkaido is comparable to that between a west and east coaster.
Visit surrounding countries. You don't know when you'll be so close to them again.
Save money! This one's pretty important for me. I grew to enjoy the planning stages almost as much as the actual traveling itself. Number one rule is to book waaaaay in advance. I've booked hostels for even $4/night because of this, especially through sites like agoda and airbnb. If traveling within Japan specifically and you're not claustrophobic, consider capsule hotels or even manga cafés. Ask for student discounts. You should still be prepared to spend though, considering that you're visiting for a full one-time experience. For me, working up to seven campus jobs during my sophomore year in saving up for a rainy day helped me afford my trips. It also helped that the exchange rate to the dollar increased by nearly 20% during my time in Japan. What a thrill to travel on a budget but also remember to occasionally treat yo' self.
Walk! Can you believe the London Tube was nearly $7.50 one way?! Save the money and exercise those legs instead. You'll encounter many things you wouldn't see otherwise, and it'll also help burn off the pasta you've just stuffed your face with.
Be safe. Better safe than sorry is my philosophy. This shouldn't prevent you from taking chances though, but just make sure that they are smart ones. Look into possible threats specific to a country. These will range from being on the lookout for pickpockets in Rome to avoiding Bangkok's tap water. I found myself having to revert to skills as a New Yorker even after having been in quiet ole Kyoto for so long.
Travel alone. It can feel lonely at times but will turn out to be such a good personal experience. You'll learn lots, including how to take care of yourself in various situations. Being on your own eating and sleeping schedules will keep your trip efficient and flexible. It is always nice to see a familiar face if you can incorporate that into your trip though, but don't let that distract from me time.
It's okay to do the touristy stuff. They're touristy for a reason but do choose depending on your interests. Tripadvisor or lonely planet are great resources with lists and reviews.
Keep track of the memories. Even while writing this, I can tell that things have started becoming a blur after jumping from country to country. Forgetting can be really annoying but it's easier to remember specific stories if you have something to look back on, like photos or ticket stubs in a scrapbook. Keeping a blog like this one can also be a great resource to look back on!
Who knows, maybe the constant movement is helping to make readjusting back easier. I'm sure of one thing though: choosing to study abroad and traveling the world has made for one of the best years in my life so far. Part of enjoying keeping busy means that I'll have less time to think about missing Japan and it's already started, but I have a feeling it will really set in once I return to life at Amherst. I know that I'm never really that far away from it and I write this as I munch on Japanese snacks fashioned with the Gudetama character that I brought back with me. In all seriousness though, I'll actually be returning to Amherst in about 2 weeks just to work with visiting students from Doshisha Elementary, many of which I've already met through volunteering there while in Japan.
I hope to continue traveling as a hobby (while making big savings, of course!) and will actually be leaving for an 8-week global health research position in Lima, Peru in less than a month! Since it has a number of Japanese descendants, I'll also be able to collect more research notes there for my thesis. I'd searched actively for this opportunity and have started incorporating world travels as just one more aspect of the multidisciplinary career path I'm shaping for myself. Japan was what propelled me into these adventures, and it may very well also become a long term destination.
Oh and before I forget, here's a clip I promised a number of posts ago. This is Toryanse, one of the songs I performed in a duet with my instructor for AKP's final ceremony.
That's all for now, it's been a blast writing and thanks for reading my blogs! Goodbye Japan. See you later. Matane.

What does (not) the Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara do?
The Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara does not properly exercise its powers – since it was created, the Council has not made any significant efforts to eliminate violence against women in the region, to strengthen women's political representation, and to raise citizens' consciousness about these issues. The circumstances studied and presented by TI Georgia make it necessary to make essential changes in order to increase the effectiveness of the Council's work.
General overview of the work of the Gender Equality Council
The creation of the Gender Equality Council at the Supreme Council of Adjara was preceded by the formation of, first, the Advisory Council on Gender Equality and then the Gender Equality Council at the Parliament of Georgia.
The Council at the Parliament of Georgia is obliged to create and develop gender-sensitive legislation, discuss relevant strategies, exercise control on the activities of agencies accountable to the Parliament of Georgia, hold events designed for the empowerment of women, and raise the general consciousness about gender issues.
On May 16, 2014, the Gender Equality Council set up at the Supreme Council of Adjara was tasked with working in a systematic and coordinated manner with the Gender Equality Council at the Parliament of Georgia.
The Council, which was founded in 2014, consisted of 10 members of the Supreme Council of Adjara and was authorized to develop and implement an action plan, conduct a gender analysis of the legislation of Adjara in order to submit initiatives, hold various events, conduct studies, and submit recommendations in connection with concrete issues.
The main guiding document for the Gender Equality Council at the Supreme Council of Adjara of the convocation of 2012-2016 was the Action Plan approved in May 2016, which prescribes the commitments and activities of the Gender Equality Council for the years 2016-2018.
After the parliamentary elections and elections of the Supreme Council of Adjara of 2016, on March 16, 2017, a new Gender Equality Council was staffed and, later, the Action Plan for 2019-2020 was developed under new Supreme Council.
On the basis of public information requested from the Supreme Council of Adjara and open sources, TI Georgia has conducted a study to ascertain the extent to which the Action Plan for 2016-2018 was implemented and what portion of the Action Plan for 2019-2020 has been fulfilled at this stage.
The Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara fulfilled only 6 commitments provided for by the Action Plan for 2016-2018, 4 of which were fulfilled incompletely. Since 2016, the Council has not presented any studies devoted to the evaluation of the rights situation of women in the region. As for legislative initiatives, despite the fact that in 2017 the Council raised the issue of introduction of the system of gender quotas to the legislation of Adjara, serious work for the adoption and implementation of this initiative has not yet begun.
As for the Action Plan for 2019-2020, only 2 of the 28 activities provided for by this document have been implemented so far.
The Action Plan for 2016-2018: Overview of commitments that were implemented fully and partially
According to the Action Plan for 2016-2018, the Gender Equality Council was to carry out 28 various types of activities in order to fulfill 6 goals, which would contribute to elimination of violence against women, enhancement of the level of education and consciousness, increasing of women's participation in decision-making process, gender budgeting, development of gender-sensitive legislation, and creation of institutional mechanisms for gender equality in Adjara.
According to the activity report for 2016-2018, the Council convened 4 meetings and held 16 events. The Council implemented only 6 of the 28 activities provided for by the Action Plan, 4 of which were implemented incompletely.
Organization of meetings and training sessions to discuss issues of gender equality with political parties and to prepare female candidates for the elections of the Supreme Council of Adjara is one of the activities from the Action Plan for 2016-2018 which the Council implemented incompletely. Specifically, on July 24, 2017, on the initiative of the Chairperson of the Gender Equality Council, Nino Chkhetia, and NGO Journalists' Network for Gender Equality, a meeting was held with representatives of various political parties, governmental organizations, and NGOs in Batumi. Organization of this event cannot be considered as fulfillment of the commitment by the Council – holding only one meeting is not enough for achieving the aforementioned goals. In addition, the Council has not planned any training sessions related to the said issues.
As for development of legislative initiatives in support of increasing the number of women in the elections of the Supreme Council of Adjara, in 2017 the Gender Equality Council came up with an initiative on amendments to the Law on Elections of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. This initiative concerns the issue of gender quotas, which aims to eliminate political isolation of women, although the Supreme Council didn't consider the initiative.
As to one more commitment prescribed by the Action Plan – creation of a shelter for victims of violence, on June 26, 2017, the Chairperson of the Council, Nino Chkhetia, applied to the Minister of Finance and Economy of Adjara with a request to allocate a space owned by the Autonomous Republic of Adjara for this purpose. In spite of the readiness expressed in the Ministry's letter, the agency has yet to select the space.
It should be noted that at a session held on February 23, 2018, on the recommendation of an international foundation, the Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara offered cooperation to representatives of the Government, ministries, the Public Broadcaster, and NGOs of Adjara. The goals of the cooperation were the dissemination of the policy of equality between men and women, political empowerment of women, and implementation of gender budgeting in the region. For this reason, it was decided to create an interagency commission. This commission was established on April 13, 2018, although the Council has not provided us with information about the effectiveness of the commission, or about whether or not it has met at all.
On July 7, 2017, the Gender Equality Council concluded a memorandum of cooperation with the international organization Mercy Corps, the municipal administrations of Adjara, and women's rooms at N(N)LE Association of Businesswomen of Adjara. The memorandum aims to strengthen the institutional mechanisms of gender equality and to contribute to gender mainstreaming in municipalities by means of trainings, information meetings, and studies.
In spite of the fact that at a large meeting of female entrepreneurs in December 2017, the Vice-Speaker of the Council, Merab Karanadze, stated that the Council was actively working to support women in the region in accordance with the goals of the aforementioned memorandum, TI Georgia finds it difficult to understand what the representative of the Council meant: the staff of the Supreme Council has not provided us with information about these initiatives or about activities carried out by the Gender Equality Council for economic empowerment of women.
The Action Plan for 2019-2020
On December 25, 2018, the Gender Equality Council held a discussion on a new action plan with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).
The Action Plan for 2019-2020 includes both old and new goals:
According to the information provided by the Council, a group of organizational and technical support for the Gender Equality Council has been established at the Supreme Council in order to create and strengthen institutional mechanisms of gender equality. The group is composed of the staff members of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal, and Procedural Issues and an assistant to the Chairperson of the Human Rights Committee. In addition, the position of Advisor to the Government of Adjara has been created at the Gender Equality Council.
At the same time, the Council has planned training sessions, on-site meetings, and legislative amendments in order to increase women's participation in decision-making, about which Nino Chkhetia talked at the session of June 6, 2019. In spite of this, the implementation of this goal has yet to begin.
As for raising the level of education and public consciousness about gender issues, according to the Council, the responsibility for holding the events related to this goal lies with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Adjara and with LEPL Adjara TV and Radio of the Public Broadcaster, while the Gender Equality Council is supposed to monitor their activities. TI Georgia does not know whether the Council has approached the aforementioned agencies with relevant recommendations to achieve the said goals – we have not received this information from the Gender Equality Council.
Two months remain before the end of 2019, but the Council has not even started working on the goals whose implementation deadline is 2019 – the Council has not provided this information to us or published it on the website.
The passivity of the Council in connection with incidents of sexual harassment and violence in Adjara
It is especially important to emphasize the passivity of the Gender Equality Council in connection with incidents of sexual violence and harassment that have taken place in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara in recent years.
Considering its powers, the Council is supposed not only to disseminate statements calling for timely investigation into the incidents listed below but also to work proactively to eliminate such incidents.
We present a brief overview of news reports on incidents of gender harassment and child prostitution in the Adjara region in the years 2017-2019. The Gender Equality Council has not responded to any of these incidents:
In 2017, a doctoral student of Batumi State University accused her thesis supervisor of sexual violence. On January 3 of the same year, the Prosecutor's Office of Adjara launched an investigation and the case was handed over to the Prosecutor's Office of Kutaisi. An independent feminist group responded to the incident and approached various agencies with recommendations.
Also in 2017, the Ministry of Internal Affairs launched an investigation into an alleged incident of sexual harassment that had taken place in one of the public schools of Batumi – the victim was an 11th grade student who stated that a 70-year-old math teacher was sexually harassing her.
In 2018, Adjara TV produced a story about involvement of underage girls in prostitution in Batumi, including by coercion. The investigative story says that law enforcement agencies are failing to pay attention to the incidents revealed by the journalistic investigation, which points to the State's inadequate response to the problem, to say the least.
And in 2019, another student of Batumi State University, aged 19, accused her professor, Omar Makharadze – a member of the City Council of Batumi from the Georgian Dream party – of sexual harassment. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is conducting an investigation into the incident. Makharadze, whose contract with the university was terminated, left the Commission on Legal and Procedural Issues of the City Council of Batumi, though he retained his seat in the City Council. The incident has elicited the response of NGOs on several occasions.
These incidents are directly related to the problems and goals that the Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara should be trying to address. Unfortunately, together with the Gender Equality Council, the Human Rights Committee of the Supreme Council – which is obliged to carry out activities oriented at the protection of human rights in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara – has also failed to respond to the aforementioned pieces of information. Only once, a member of the said Committee and of the Gender Equality Council, Tsotne Ananidze, expressed his opinion about an incident of Internet bullying on the ground of gender in Batumi. The negative evaluation by a certain part of the public took place after several women started working as lifeguards on the Black Sea coast.
Conclusion and recommendations
The present study demonstrates that the Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara is passive and ineffective: the Council has failed to implement the Action Plan for 2016-2018, which provides grounds for assuming that it may also fail to implement the Action Plan for 2019-2020, because a considerable part of the commitments should already have been fulfilled.
Therefore, we call upon the Gender Equality Council of the Supreme Council of Adjara to:
continue working for the implementation of the Action Plan for 2019-2020 in a timely and effective manner;
activate the platform of the interagency commission effectively, in order to fulfill the commitments prescribed by the Action Plan;
actively respond to incidents of violence against women, sexual harassment, early marriage, and involvement of underage girls in prostitution and approach investigative bodies with relevant recommendations;
intensify proactive work to turn the public's attention to gender-sensitive issues by means of public discussions, meetings, and campaigns, which may turn out to be a good method for deepening cooperation between the governmental and non-governmental sectors.

Google DeepMind has extended its controversial partnership with the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, signing a new five-year deal.
The London trust will work with the British machine learning company, which was acquired by Google in 2014, on further developing the Streams clinical app, which has so far used algorithms to detect acute kidney injury.
In a statement, Royal Free said that app will be used as a diagnostic support tool for a far wider range of illness, alerting doctors earlier of patients at risk of getting ill.
"Like breaking news alerts on a mobile phone, the technology will notify nurses and doctors immediately when test results show a patient is at risk of becoming seriously ill, and provide all the information they need to take action.
"Streams will be extended beyond AKI to help care for patients with other serious conditions including sepsis and organ failure." The expanded Streams will alert doctors to patient in need "within seconds", rather than hours, it added.
It should also free up doctors from paperwork, creating more than half a million hours of extra direct care, the trust claimed.
Royal College of Physicians president Professor Jane Dacre said the deal "offers exciting possibilities for improved care for patients and more efficient systems for physicians".
"Whenever we develop new ways of using patient data, it is essential that safeguards are in place for appropriateness and confidentiality, but with these we should embrace the opportunity to improve healthcare quality and reduce the burdens of bureaucracy on clinicians so they can focus on their patients."
DeepMind and Royal Free have been working on the AKI calculator for about a year, but the relationship has been controversial.
Earlier this year, the New Scientist ran a series of stories which stated that the project involved information on 1.6 million patients who had passed through Barnet, Chase Farm and the Royal Free hospitals over five years.
Privacy group medConfidential said that the information had been obtained without patient consent, and that it was excessive because the records did not just cover kidney function.
The concerns lead to an Information Commissioner's Office inquiry into the sharing of patient information between the Royal Free and DeepMind which a spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday was still ongoing.
The independent body had also been in contact with the national data guardian to ensure the compliance of Streams with the Data Protection Act, she said.
However, Royal Free has defended, stating that the collaboration does not require patient consent, since the information is being used for direct patient care, for which there is 'implied' consent.
"Throughout the NHS, patient data is routinely collecting and processed by IT companies for the purpose of direct patient care under the principle of implied consent," the trust said in May this year.
In the latest statement, Royal Free said the data involved would be subject to an "unprecedented level" of audit, including nine independent reviewers. That patient data would be "similar" to that used in the initial AKI trial and would be stored in UK-based data centres.
Royal Free would also have administration access to DeepMind's use of the data, to track how, and by whom, it was used.
However Phil Booth, coordinator of medConfidential said the latest deal was concerning, as it appeared to be based on same information sharing agreement as the AKI trial.
"Our concern is that Google gets data on every patient who has attended the hospital in the last five years and they're getting a monthly report of data on every patient who was in the hospital, but may now have left, never to return."
Streams has now been registered with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and will be deployed at Royal Free in early 2017, initially aimed at AKI detection.

NYC kiosks that let you make free calls and charge your phone have landed in N.J.
Posted Oct 18, 2018

By Karen Yi | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
New digital kiosks with 55-inch screens have sprouted across the city of Newark that will allow passers-by to make free phone calls, connect to public Wifi or charge their mobile devices.
Newark is the first in New Jersey to launch the LinkNWK sidewalk kiosks created by Intersection, a New York-based technology company. New York City was the first to roll out the technology in 2016 and Philadelphia will install the kiosks later this fall.
On Tuesday, officials debuted the newly-installed kiosks across from the Prudential Center on Broad Street. A total of 45 kiosks will be in operation in the city -- with at least one in every ward. So far, two are up and running.
"Newark is once again defining itself to the state, nation, and world as a cutting-edge, high-tech city," Mayor Ras Baraka said. "These kiosks will enable residents and visitors alike to gain immediate information about Newark, ranging from upcoming cultural events to emergency service response."
The kiosks, which Intersection installed at no cost to the city, display information on city services, fun facts about Newark, upcoming events and advertisements.
The ad revenue will go to the company and be shared with the city as well.
Representatives at Intersection said this time, the kiosks will not allow internet browsing. When the devices were first installed in New York City people used the kiosks to watch pornography, according to reports at the time.

The company has not announced plans to install kiosks in any other New Jersey cities.
The Newark kiosks will be the first to roll out with a Wifi app that allows users to connect to the LinkNWK network and pull up a map to find the nearest kiosk.
NJIT has also partnered with Intersection to find creative ways of using the devices to benefit the community.
"Newark is a rising star in the tech economy, and we are proud that LinkNWK will only add to this momentum," said Jen Hensley, President of Link at Intersection.
A minority investor in Intersection is Sidewalk Labs, which was created by Alphabet, the parent company of Google.

Uniform Civil Code (UCC) | Top NDA Coaching in Lucknow

Uniform Civil Code (UCC) | Best NDA Coaching in Lucknow India
What is UCC?
◆The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) calls for the formulation of one law for India, which would be applicable to all religious communities in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption.
◆The code comes under Article 44 of the Constitution, which lays down that the state shall endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
◆Article 44 of the Indian Constitution states that "the State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code (UCC) throughout the territory of India." The desirability of a uniform civil code is consistent with human rights and the principles of equality, fairness and justice.
Implications of Uniform Civil Code on Personal Laws:
▪Protection to Vulnerable Section of Society:
●The UCC aims to provide protection to vulnerable sections as envisaged by Ambedkar including women and religious minorities, while also promoting nationalistic fervour through unity.
✔Simplification of Laws:
●The code will simplify the complex laws around marriage ceremonies, inheritance, succession, adoptions making them one for all. The same civil law will then be applicable to all citizens irrespective of their faith.
✔Adhering to Ideal of Secularism:
◆Secularism is the objective enshrined in the Preamble, a secular republic needs a common law for all citizens rather than differentiated rules based on religious practices.
✔Gender Justice:
●If a UCC is enacted, all personal laws will cease to exist. It will do away with gender biases in existing laws.
▪Challenges:
✔Exceptions in Central Family Laws:
◆The preliminary sections in all central family law Acts enacted by Parliament since Independence declare that they will apply to "the whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir."
◆A Second exception was added in 1968 in all these Acts, pronouncing that "nothing herein contained shall apply to the Renoncants in the Union Territory of Pondicherry."
◆A third exception, none of these Acts applies in Goa, Daman and Diu.
◆A fourth exception, relating to the north-eastern states of Nagaland and Mizoram, emanates from Articles 371A and 371G of the Constitution, decreeing that no parliamentary legislation will replace the customary law and religion-based system for its administration.
✔Communal Politics:
●The demand for a uniform civil code has been framed in the context of communal politics.
●A large section of society sees it as majoritarianism under the garb of social reform.
✔Constitutional Hurdle:
●Article 25 of the Indian constitution, which seeks to preserve the freedom to practise and propagate any religion gets into conflict with the concepts of equality enshrined under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution.
❓Way Forward
◆Need of the hour is the codification of all personal laws so that prejudices and stereotypes in every one of them would come to light and can be tested on the anvil of fundamental rights of the Constitution.
〰Collaborative Approach: The government and society will have to work hard to build trust, but more
importantly, make common cause with social reformers rather than religious conservatives.
〰Brick by Brick Approach: Rather than an omnibus approach, the government could bring separate aspects such as marriage, adoption, succession and maintenance into a uniform civil code in stages.
〰Gender-Sensitive Approach: The government would also do well to complement the overdue move towards a uniform civil code with a comprehensive review of several other laws in the context of gender justice.
〰Pan-India Approach: Bringing Jammu and Kashmir into the country's mainstream of family laws is an exercise that needs to be undertaken also for Goa, Daman and Diu, Puducherry, Nagaland and Mizoram.

'I feel really bad for Saliba' - Arteta regrets leaving £27m defender out of Arsenal's Europa League squad
Not named on the Gunners' European roster, the youn
Frenchman cannot lend his side a hand in their moment of need against Dundalk
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that the decision to leave William Saliba out of the Gunners' Europa League squad was a "hurtful" and regrettable one.
The young Frenchman was signed from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2019 for £27 million (€30m/$35m) but spent last term back on loan at the Ligue 1 club.
It proved to be an injury-hit campaign for the youngster, and when he finally joined up with the London side on a full-time basis he was unable to immediately win over the confidence of the manager.
Not named on the Gunners' European roster, the young Frenchman cannot lend his side a hand in their moment of need against Dundalk
Consequently, he was left out of the group that will play European football before Christmas, despite a crisis at centre-back ahead of the encounter with Dundalk leaving Arteta's men short in that area.
Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and Pablo Mari were already missing when David Luiz limped out of the 1-0 loss to Leicester on Sunday, leaving Gabriel and Shkodran Mustafi as the only natural options in that role for the encounter with the Irish side.
"I feel really bad for William Saliba," Arteta explained. "Because we had so many central defenders, we decided to leave him out of the squad which was really hurtful for me to do.
"I was hoping that Pablo would be back in two weeks but he had a setback and then we don't have Pablo and we don't have William when he's fit and available to play, but when you make those decisions, you can't always think about every possible outcome."
Meanwhile, Arteta says Saliba is making progress.
"He's in a much better place," the coach said. "He's feeling a lot more confident around the place, his language is improving and he's starting to understand much better what we're doing physically.
"He's played a few games with the under-23s which he needed because he didn't play any football in the last seven or eight months. Things are progressively getting better and better."
Although Saliba cannot play in European competition, he has been named in the Premier League squad, meaning that he could face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. He will miss out again next midweek, however, when Arsenal host Molde in the Europa League.

THE EASY WAY TO MAKE YOUR HOME COOLER IN SUMMER AND WARMER IN WINTER: When this highly effective product is installed in sufficient pairs in tiled roofs, it will significantly make your home cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter, thus minimising your need to cool or heat your home, therefore substantially saving you money. With the costs of electricity and gas sky-rocketing, now you can have something you can do to save your pocket and reduce expense in running your home. This product, which when installed cannot be seen, has no moving parts, they make no noise and has ZERO running costs ! Once installed, you can forget about them.
This innovative 'integrated into your roof' new product is a completely inconspicuous roof space ventilation solution for tiled roofs. The concept is so simple and effective, a number of pairs of these hollow Zincalume 'breathing' roof tiles, are installed on your roof replacing a solid clay or cement tile, thus enabling your important roof space to effectively ventilate and with no noisy moving parts or no future maintenance needs.
EASY INSTALLATION: Each hollow takes the place of one solid tile. Installed in pairs, one 'hollow' roof tile is positioned high, ideally on the North side of the roof just a few rows below the ridge cap, and the pair's 'partner' is on the other side of the roof in a low position just a few rows above the gutter to allow cooler air to be drawn in. Ideal for re-roofing, extension, existing or new homes, pairs should be installed approximately 4.5m apart. For skillion roofs, simply install as pairs with one hollow tile high, and its 'partner' close to the gutter just below.
As the hot air rises and is able to escape through these 'upper' hollow 'ventilation' roof tiles, cool air enters through the 'lower' hollow ventilation' roof tiles, an effective convection current is created. So even on the very hot summer days when there is no breeze, using these products and nature, your hidden roof space is silently, effectively self ventilating which otherwise can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome, condensation forming and fungi growing in winter. We supply these breathing tiles Australia wide, with or without powder coating. To choose the colour for factory Powder Coating, CLICK HERE. Alternatively, simply use a spray can for metal, and choose the matching colour from your hardware store.
The old fashioned alternative of an ugly, sticking out of the roof and potentially noisy rotating ventilator (a nuisance when trying to sleep at night), which by its very design requires a breeze to operate, does not work when there is no breeze! With our innovative and invisible hollow ventilation roof tiles, when there is a breeze, the air movement increases as the Venturi Principle draws even more air in and out.
FOR CONCRETE TILED ROOFS: This one product fits most concrete tiled roofs, except any curved Spanish tile, or completely flat roof tiles. CLICK HERE to see if your concrete roof tiles are compatible with these 'energy saving', invisible and silent roof space ventilation tiles.
The overall shape and configuration of the hollow tile is the same as the vast majority of past and present concrete tiles manufactured. So no matter how long ago your existing roof tile was manufactured, there is an excellent chance that this roof space tile ventilator will fit and is easy to install. When you replace an existing tile to introduce efficient roof space ventilation, you remove your existing 'good' tile which can be used to replace cracked or broken tiles.
FOR TERRACOTTA TILED ROOFS: The same applies with terracotta, EXCEPT, There are in fact two models. One we call 'small' as it is compatible with the narrower terracotta roof tiles manufactured up to 2008. It is 280 mm wide. The 'large' size, is 300 mm wide, to be compatible for tiles maunfactured since 2008. So for terracotta tiled roofs too, past (old roofs) and present (new or re-roofing) roofs will probably have a roof space tile ventilator model to fit your manufacturer and profile tile.
There is even a special 'unit' version for the popular Corrugated or Colorbond roofs.
Architects and Building Designers, specify these aesthetically and highly functional superior integrated hollow Ventilation Roof Tiles.
Here is an article published by the Sydney Morning Herald about the issues involving unventilated roofs - Click Here.

A tongue-in-cheek how to guide written by a hero of the Chicano movement for the education of grass-roots leaders Under this somewhat threatening title, the renowned civil rights leader Jose Angel Gutierrez provides a guidebook to minority empowerment through the use of analysis, practical experience and anecdote. His primary goal is the conversion of Latino demographic power into educational, economic and political power. In an incisive introduction, Gutierrez analyzes the types of power and evaluates Chicano and Latino access to power at various levels in U.S. society. In very plain, down-to-earth language and examples, Gutierrez takes pains to make his broad knowledge and experience available to everyone, but especially to those who want to be activists for themselves and their communities. For him the empowerment of a minority or working-class person can transfer into greater empowerment of the whole community. This manual penned by the founder of the only successful Hispanic political party, La Raza Unida, brings together an impressive breadth of models to either follow or avoid. Quite often, Gutierrez's voice is not only the seasoned voice of reason, but also that of humor, wry wit and satire. If nothing else, The Chicano Manual on How to Handle Gringos is a wonderful survey of the Chicano and Latino community on the move in all spheres of life in the United States on the very eve of its demographic and cultural ascendancy.
Authors and TACHE members Jose Angel Gutierrez and Natalia Verjat Gutierrez have researched numerous records and combed the archives at the University of Texas-Austin to help tell the TACHE story. They are thankful for other TACHE members who have shared their photographs to document and preserve the organization's history.
