Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi is a preacher and Islamic scholar in Pakistan who came into prominence after his protest in support of blasphemy law and against the death penalty of Mumtaz Qadri.
If you don't know who is Khadim Hussain Rizvi then this biography & profile will reveal how an unknown scholar who gave sermons at a small mosque became one of the most prominent scholars of the country.
Khadim Rizvi was born in Pindi Gheb area of Attock District in year 1966. His early life in this relatively remote area of Punjab is not known but it is expected that he completed his early religious education in the same area.
In 2006 he was injured in an accident while travelling from Rawalpindi to Lahore. After the incident he was confined to the wheel chair but it did not deter him from his usual life.
Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi held a government job in the Auqaf Department of Punjab Government. He was responsible for Friday sermons at the Pir Makki Masjid Lahore which is located near the renowned Data darbar.
He was removed from his position after he gave sermon in support of Mumtaz Qadri. Qadri was a commander of Punjab elite force who shot Governor Salman Taseer due to his opposition to Section 295-C and support of Asia Bibi who was convicted for blasphemy.
Removal of Maulana Khadim Rizvi from government job helped him to spread his message to a wider audience. He met different religious leaders and scholars across Pakistan and campaigned to support Mumtaz Qadri.
This led to a political movement 'Ghazi Mumtaz Freedom Movement' demanding release of Mumtaz Qadri which was later renamed as Tehreek Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYRA).
With support and help of other religious scholars Khadim Hussain Rizvi led the mass movement with members & supporters across Pakistan.
In 2015 he established a political party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) as the political front of the movement with the aim of participating in elections. Despite receiving millions of vote TLP only secured 3 provincial seats in Sindh.
On multiple occasions Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi led sit-ins against government. He showed his wide support in 2017 after his sit-in against PMLN government was spread in all major cities of Pakistan.
In 2018 after Supreme Court announced the verdict of Asia Bibi which resulted in protests largely led by Khadim Rizvi.
After negations the protests ended by government started a crackdown against TLP by arrested all prominent leaders including Khadim Hussain Rizvi and Pir Afzal Qadri.
Their website was blocked by PTA and Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube channel were removed on the request of Pakistani government.
Masjid Rahmatul Lil Alameen was also sealed for many days as it was considered the party headquarters.
The movement has lost its structural existence after the crackdown in which thousands of people were arrested. But it is believed that once Molana Khadim Hussain Rizvi is released he will be able to reorganize the party.

Q: In 1D array 'a' find indexes of 'a' at which 'a'='b', where 'b' are random values of 'a' This is my first attempt to use Python. I would appreciate any advice on how to post process data using Python.
I have a 2D array with two columns that consists of numbers: a and c. In addition, I have 1D array b that consists of some specific (and exact) values of a. What I want to do is to find c values at which a == b. My approach is to find indexes of a where a == b and then use b[a_indexes]. I fail at finding indexes.
    'a'    'c'
     1     20
     40    70
     83    67
     1054  90

     'b'
      40
      1054

Desired output:
40 70
1054 90

I tried:
a_indexes = a.index(b)

But it does not work.
I have this error:

'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'index'

A: I think that you want to do something like
import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[1, 20],  [40, 70], [83, 67], [1054,90]])
b = np.array([40, 1054])

output = []
for value in b:
    a_indexes = np.where(arr == value)
    for a_index in a_indexes[0]: # we look where the value was found along first dimension
        output.append(arr[a_index])
# output should be [array([40, 70]), array([1054, 90])]
print(output)

For more information on indexing check Is there a NumPy function to return the first index of something in an array? or https://thispointer.com/find-the-index-of-a-value-in-numpy-array/
Note that if you have column names, probably you are not dealing with pure numpy arrays, but maybe pandas dataframe or something else.

Salt Lake Tribune: A Legacy of Uranium, a Prayer for Healing
The Salt Lake Tribune reported on January 1st, 2011:
The sickness in Elsie Mae Begay's family troubled her for a long time. So she turned to a Navajo medicine man.
The healer took measure of the family settlement here and told her the poison was in the dust kicked up by the wind that sometimes rips through the desert. In years to come, environmental scientists for the tribe and the U.S. government would confirm that diagnosis in their own way, saying the family was at risk from radiation left over from uranium at the Skyline Mine on the mesa above the homes.
About $5.9 million is being spent on the tainted piles in Begay's backyard. The contaminated dirt — as much as 30,000 cubic yards of it — is just beyond a cluster of dwellings built on land that her aunt, Mary Holiday, settled around the time the mine was idled in 1962. Begay moved her six children there in 1978 after her divorce.

Lately, GN solids control has manufactured some mud system for geothermal power drilling, which is shipped to Kenya. GN is focused on creating and accumulating solids control system for oil and gas drilling, mud system for geothermal power drilling, mud cleaning system for HDD drilling and tunneling. Using its top quality and strict quality management standards and systems, GN is the top and first API licensed solids control company in China. Recently, the client visited GN factory for inspection. The testing was effectively finished, showing the mud system works well, though there have been modification brought out by the client. Before delivery, this technique ought to be PVOC licensed.
The entire title of PVOC is Pre-Export Verification of Commodity. It's checking standards needed by KEBS for conveying commodity to Kenya. When the commodity indexed by PVOC submissions are looked over to stay in compliance with PVOC, COC (certificate of commodity) is going to be released for custom clearance otherwise, the commodity won't be permitted into Kenya. GN mud system for geothermal power drilling goes towards the catalog indexed by PVOC, so COC is needed for export otherwise; GN mud system won't be permitted shipped to Kenya.
As the customer's visit, we're also planning documents needed for PVOC. It's at the first time we all do this, so it's just a little confusing and hard for all of us. But, with the aid of an agent for PVOC, we finally summit the documents within this week, and contains been approved. The next phase is going to be inspection from the commodity, it happened several days ago. And we cope with the inspection, we'll obtain the COC. Then GN mud system has been shipped to Kenya, and arrived in Kenya. And the customer was satisfied after the mud system performing well in the worksite.


I am obsessed with this book POLPO, featuring cicchetti (Venetian snacks).
I have made almost every single crostini in the book, except the pickled radicchio w/ cottechino (that's next if I can find that special sausage).
In Venice, cicchetti (pronounced chi-KET-tee), are little snacks, like aperitivo, and they are served in Venetian wine bars, known as bacaro, sort of like an osteria.
These little treasures are mostly served on bread along with wine, eaten after work, before you go home for dinner.
Here, I made a quick snack of canned artichokes rolled with speck, which is smoked prosciutto from Northern Italy, flavored with juniper.
I added the basil leaf and piece of fresh mozzarella, because I can!
Next time, I would skip the cheese, it was a bit too big of a bite even for my mouth!
Sprinkle w/ sea salt & pepper and drizzle with some good olive oil just before serving.
Everyone loved these, and they were so simple!
Perfect for Friday night snacks.
Just did a little tour of POLPO on Amazon and now want a Spritz. Have you been to Venice? I have, twice. July - hell, January - heaven. I'd love you to go and tell us all about it. Re: your big mouth. <> Sorry, I still get a kick out of this gross violation of the no complaining rule! Enjoy the weekend, Ms. Snacks.
When we were in Venice we ate only at a Bacaro every night! The crostini and other small plates were so GOOD and enough for dinner with wonderful wine.
I want to go back! Thank you for the reminder, i will check out this book too.
Love Venice and all things Venetian. I hope you had a Veneto wine lying around to pair with your artichoke-speck cicchetti.
Always looking for a clever little bite to go with cocktails and this one sounds fantastic!

You know the reason why breakfast buffets im hotels are usually cheaper than other meals of the day? Because the former is usually included in your room charge while the latter you have to pay separately. While I was very satisfied with the breakfast buffet during our stay, I thought it would be nicer if we can also try dinner buffet. I was not disappointed. After all, Cucina will not be included in Philippine Tattler's Best Restaurants in the Philippines 2016 for nothing.
Savor a new and delightful culinary experience and taste the best meaty dishes with Cucina's signature dishes. It offers a versatile dining experience complemented by a well-curated spread of international cuisine that are heavy on flavours and is made from superior ingredients. From the Seafood Station, Asian Noodles and Pasta, Carving, Cheeses and Cold Cuts and Desserts, Cucina promises to be a one-stop-shop for all the finest flavors that diners' palates are looking for.
Cucina is consistently seen in bringing something new to the table with these new buffet signature dishes, bringing incredible flavour and tenderness, prepared to perfection.
Meat-lovers will enjoy the new line up of signature specialties definitely brings a whole new surprise to everyone's palate. Setting up a different kind of fusion featuring the tropical fruit, pineapple, enjoy the Filipino favorite, Crispy Pata, with a different twist―stuffed with foiegras and topped with Pineapple salsa. Opt for a dairy and ocean-fresh filling with Braised Beef Roulade Stuffed with Cream Cheese, Shrimp, Fish, and Shellfish Meat. Taste the best of both worlds with the Surf and Turf Blanket, featuring Salmon and Minced Beef with Sundried Tomato.
Don't be like us. Don't watch a movie in the afternoon and order a bunch of popcorn and french fries. We should have reserved more space for our stomach as the spread at Cucina's dinner buffet is really diverse. We stayed for around two hours to savor each interesting dish we set our sight on. I like it that they organized the sections and labelled them beautifully.
It is a parade of flavors transferring from Japanese section to Asian noodles to Indian cuisine to Filipino dishes, to breads and desserts. I also like it that they made a label for their signature dishes so it is easier to know what the restaurant's patrons should look for when they pay a visit. I love the paella, Lamb rogan josh, braised beef roulase with seafood, lechon, salmon strudle with ground beef, seafood and beef medallion. Not be left out are ginataang gulay, seafood sinigang and menudo in the Filipino section. The desserts are to die for. They don't only have pastries but cakes too! Yes, it's not only creme brulee you should look for but a bunch of other cakes. And when I say cake they have whole cakes you can cut by yourself. Graham cheesecake, red velvet and flourless cake. Yum!

New York Pulls Plug on inBloom as Student-Data Partner
Responding to growing controversy, New York has ordered inBloom to delete all of the student records the education technology nonprofit had uploaded to the cloud. The reversal is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Atlanta-based organization.
"As required by statute, we will not store any student data with inBloom and we have directed inBloom to securely delete the non-identifiable data that has been stored," said Tom Dunn, spokesman for the New York State education department, in an emailed statement.
Now it's questionable whether inBloom—launched last year with $100 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York—will ever be able to blossom fully to fulfill its mission. The organization proposes to collect and synthesize reams of student data, store the information in cloud-based servers, and make the information available via easy-to-use data dashboards and other tools. Ultimately, inBloom says it wants to improve education by providing teachers, students, and families with a resource that solves a common technology issue many districts face as instructional software tools fail to "talk to" one another.
However, inBloom may be finding it hard to locate education officials willing to talk about its services. Fledgling partnerships with districts and states have been abandoned. And the organization did not respond to requests from Education Week about whether it has any contracts pending with districts or states, after originally listing nine as partners.
The organization did issue a statement about the latest setback: "We respect New York State's decision to provide additional local control, and for also addressing privacy," inBloom's spokesman, Adam Gaber, wrote in an email. At the same time, he underscored the organization's faith in its technology to empower teachers and its plan to "push forward" with its mission.
In New York, a groundswell of opposition against inBloom gathered strength in recent months: last November, 12 parents filed a lawsuit to put a stop to the state's agreement with the organization, arguing that hosting data in the cloud for use in real-time academic progress reports flouted privacy and parental consent laws. That lawsuit was dismissed in February.
Educators, too, criticized the plan. "Details about the lives of students are moving beyond the school walls to reside in the inBloom cloud," wrote Carol Burris, principal of the South Side High School, in Rockville Centre, N.Y., in a blog. She argues that there was no reason for the state to have access to specific information about students, including their discipline records.
"We were flagged as a problem, even though we probably have better security and privacy than anything else on the market," inBloom's CEO Iwan Streichenberger told my colleague Ben Herold at SXSWedu in March. In fact, inBloom solved a problem, Streichenberger argued, and seeks to be seen as a solution.
The public pushback has come at a high cost, requiring the organization to communicate and educate about privacy and security. "It's been distracting, frustrating, and painful," he told Herold, saying that, as a vendor, "I don't think it's right for us to be inserting ourselves into that debate."
Ed-tech vendors are among those most interested in the opportunity to connect with inBloom to provide tools schools and students can use. In fact, while education entities are becoming scarcer in the inBloom circle, 17 vendors are listed on its website.
"While unfortunate, I don't believe the New York inBloom situation will directly impact the valuable role that software and data-systems providers are delivering to local schools and school districts–including in New York," said Mark Schneiderman, senior director of education policy for the Software & Information Industry Association, in a phone interview.
"The controversy surrounding the selection of inBloom became bigger than the goal," said Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy for the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that provides a national forum on the use of high-quality data in education. "I think [New York's decision] impacts their ability to meet their goal, in a timely manner, of delivering useful information to teachers and families. This is probably neutral on privacy and security, and a loss for teachers and families," she said in a phone interview.
It sounds like New York is working on a Plan B. Dunn, the spokesman for New York's education department, said that, to comply with the enacted budget and its Race to the Top obligations, the state will "continue to explore and pursue alternate paths that help our schools, districts, and BOCES [Boards of Cooperative Educational Services] access secure and cost-effective educational-technology tools that empower and support our teachers, students, and their families."
Note: inBloom's main philanthropic supporters, the Gates Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation, have also helped underwrite Education Week's coverage of the K-12 marketplace and innovation in education.

Thomas Ultican says:
This is excellent news for those of us who value personal freedom and privacy over corporate profits.
Barmak says:
I'm not sure why the story includes comments by inBloom and its proxies, but fails to solicit the views of the effort's critics. It also fails to identify potentially meaningful connections, notably the fact that the Data Quality Campaign is, like inBloom, funded by the Gates Foundation. This latter information may shed some light on Ms. Kowalski's claim that inBloom's demise is a loss for teachers and families, as opposed to a giant setback for Big Brother and Big Data.
It is important to understand that parental opposition to inBloom was not solely motivated by concerns about the security of the system, although that certainly was one of their unanswered objections. The main reason parents rebelled against inBloom centered on the privacy implications of longitudinally warehousing the entire P-12 academic records of millions of children in one system. Parents and privacy advocates were quite rightly concerned about who would gain authorized access to these records and how children's private information might be used in the future.
The demise of inBloom may provide an expensive lesson to Big Data advocates that privacy and fair information practices are worth taking seriously.

15 Years after 9/11: Days of Infamy & Memory as History - September 12, 2016
This year begins with a very significant anniversary in the United States. One hundred fifty years ago, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It was probably one of the most significant documents ever entered into our Congressional Record based on the change it incited. As we return to school this new year after a well-earned winter break, let's take a few moments to remember that who we are in the classroom and who our students are has a lot to do with that document that turns 150 this year. This year will also mark a significant decision that the current Supreme Court will make regarding Affirmative Action, and that will be an indication of how far we have come since that Proclamation was signed.
A brief review of history reminds us that the Emancipation Proclamation was not a universal end to slavery. It only applied to the states that had seceded from the union. Nevertheless, it made a powerful statement about the direction the Federal Government was headed in with regard to slavery. The Radical Republicans in Congress, combined with the social and political pressure of the abolitionists had created an environment in which the conversation completely changed from merely maintaining the Union to maintaining it slavery-free. The Proclamation paved the way for the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which did universally end slavery in the United States. However, that wasn't the end to the story. The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were all part of the Federal Reconstruction plan for the South following the war, and the Southern States did not take kindly to such a radical shift in their culture and economy.
Slavery became illegal, but the practices of sharecropping, the new Jim Crow laws and the onset of hundreds of discriminatory laws and practices around the country (not just in the South) led to a hundred more years of institutionalized segregation and racism following the end of the Civil War. It was only in the middle of the 20th Century that the federal government began to apply that Fourteenth Amendment as it had been intended. The Fourteenth Amendment was written by a lawyer and Republican Congressman named John Bingham, who inserted language that specifically counteracted the language of the Court's 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford. He and his fellow Radical Republicans in Congress, purposely intended the Fourteenth Amendment to undo that terrible precedent set by the Court three years before the onset of the Civil War. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees – and specifically refers to the new citizens of the United States (former slaves) by use of that specific language – that no state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
This Amendment was finally applied in the spirit it was written by the Warren Court in the 1950's to desegregate public schools. The Court went on to order schools to equalize not only opportunity, but results. That is the basis for the idea of Affirmative Action. "Affirmative" means "positive" and of course "action" means to actually do something — It is a call to actively reverse the trend created after the Civil War of simply doing nothing, which allowed racism and discrimination to infest and germinate within every institution in the United States. Our schools are home to not only a mix of Caucasian and African American children, but we now have a vast mix of children from all ethnic heritages, backgrounds and cultures. However, we are only 50 years removed from the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So if we do the math, our country built itself on 300+ years of legal slavery, 100+ more years of legalized segregation and racial discrimination, and has only pocketed 50 years of intentional effort to turn that history around. Those are the odds into which our students are entering school and then graduating from school. Affirmative Action aims to give them a platform to overcome these odds the US has created for itself.
Earlier this session, the Supreme Court heard the case of Fisher v. University of Texas, and will set out its decision later this spring. Once again, a white student is challenging the practice of universities that consider race as part of admissions practice in order to equalize results of admissions. The Supreme Court has already refined what Affirmative Action means in previous decisions, but this case seeks to do away with it altogether in college admissions. What so many Americans fail to understand about Affirmative Action is that it deals with the difference between opportunity and result. We have improved in leaps and bounds across this nation when it comes to opportunity (anyone can apply to college now, for instance). There is more opportunity for people of color and for women than there ever has been. And that is a good thing. But there is still a massive gap in results (who actually gets accepted or goes on to leadership positions).
We cannot claim to be a country that aims for justice while at the same time puts a stop to equality just after someone takes advantage of opportunity. We can't claim equality if the person who gets through the front door is never allowed a seat at the table. This is what Affirmative Action does. It acknowledges a door is open, but it also clears seats at the table where there is still an imbalance of entrenched white privilege. Those who live with the advantage of privilege sometimes claim they are experiencing diminished opportunity. That is not the case; it is merely the movement of a leveling playing field. Having to share not only opportunity, but also results is an unfamiliar practice to those who have never felt the legacy of legalized and practiced discrimination.
Our students of all races and creeds need to know that this can be the land of opportunity. They can achieve what they dream of, but we still need to support the efforts that will help them reach those results in our still imbalanced society. We have begun to see new results that will hopefully become a trend: more women and more people of color than ever before were elected to Congress this last election. The business community is slowly recognizing the imbalance that exists among CEOs and owners of companies. And schools and colleges are becoming more and more integrated with students from all backgrounds. Affirmative Action is designed to work itself out of existence. We won't need it forever. But we still need it now. The legacy of the Emancipation Proclamation is in our hands, and we cannot afford to let the progress of justice fail. The more our students begin to see a balance of results in our society, the more they will feel themselves a part of the system that will one day be their path to success.

"Affirmative Action is designed to work itself out of existence. We won't need it forever."
Sorry, but this is creationist nonsense. Evolution means inequality… within groups and between groups. Every person born increases inequality. You can never escape this.
Fact of the matter is that white students from extremely poor families have higher SAT scores than black students from wealthy families.

Each space in the 5x5 grid has a RGB LED and a push button switch, both linked to an Arduino. For each space, each press off the button cycles the LED from off, red, green, and blue. We designed the wood case in AutoCAD, and used a laser cutter at Makerhaus to cut the panels out of thin pine slabs. I used a dremel and hand tools to carve the wooden dice. I also designed and created the rule booklet and playing cards.
The box is a freeform game platform that serves to have many games played, and also created, within its bounds.
A handful of games are outlined in a rule-book, but this list should be thought of as a jumping off point for your own game-play creativity. Players should feel free to use it as they see fit, creating new games along the way or perhaps adapting variations of their favorite classic table-top games. It can function as an arena for any classic grid or spatial based game.
The platform's core mechanism is the usage of LED toggles. Rather than having a game piece you move about a board to signify your place, you just toggle a light to illuminate your player color in a given space. With room for up to three players, each game space on the board contains a light that can cycle between RED, BLUE, and GREEN, each color signifying a different player's chosen avatar.
Accompanying the box are several additional game assets. Various types of dies and ability cards are utilized in numerous ways, adding layers of game-play to create a dynamic experience every time.
The platform, with it's combination of the light box and additional assets, is meant to be dynamic enough to allow constant evolution.

Station De Pinte is een spoorwegstation langs spoorlijn 75 (Gent - Moeskroen) in de gemeente De Pinte. De spoorlijn 86 splitst hier af van spoorlijn 75.

Het station werd geopend in 1839 bij de aanleg van de spoorlijn van Gent-Zuid naar Kortrijk. In 1857 werd er ter hoogte van De Pinte een aftakking naar Oudenaarde aangelegd zodat een dubbele verbinding met Gent tot stand kwam. Het eerste stationsgebouw voldeed niet meer en er werd in dat jaar dan ook een nieuw en groter station gebouwd. Door de aanleg van de Stationsstraat in 1875 werd het station beter bereikbaar. Na meer dan een eeuw dienst te hebben gedaan, werd er in 1980 een nieuw stationsgebouw gebouwd waarna het oude gesloopt werd. Er zijn twee loketten en er is een stationomroep(st)er aanwezig.

Sinds eind 2021 zijn de loketten van dit station gesloten en is het een stopplaats geworden. Voor de aankoop van allerlei vervoerbewijzen kan men bij voorkeur terecht aan de biljettenautomaat die ter beschikking staat, of via andere verkoopkanalen.

De Pinte beschikt over een verbindingstunnel zodat de sporen veilig overgestoken kunnen worden. Deze gang doet tevens dienst als fietstunnel. Ze geeft een nette indruk en is voorzien van lange oprijhellingen zodat ook rolstoelgebruikers de perrons kunnen bereiken.

Op diverse plaatsen zijn fietsenstallingen geplaatst. Links en rechts van de hoofdingang bevinden zich 2 overdekte verlichte fietsenstallingen (aan beide kanten ongeveer 140 plaatsen). Ook de hoofdingang beschikt over een fietsenrek (40-tal plaatsen). Tot slot zijn aan de overzijde van de sporen in de Florastraat nog een 90-tal plaatsen beschikbaar.

Sinds 2022 stoppen de toeristentreinen tijdens de zomerperiode enkel nog tijdens de week en niet langer tijdens het weekend in het station van De Pinte.

In 2024 zullen de perrons integraal toegankelijk gemaakt worden. Dit zal het comfort van het station sterk verhogen.

Known as one of the "lost towns" of Virginia, Basic City was laid out in 1890 in a grid plan on twenty-two hundred acres. In 1923 it was consolidated with Waynesboro. Basic City is one of the best examples of the many Valley boomtowns created in the late nineteenth century along the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The railroad completed its line about a mile east of Waynesboro in 1881, and nine years later, the Basic City Mining and Manufacturing Company chartered the town at the crossing of the new line and an older east-west railroad. Local residents often referred to it as the "City of the Iron Cross." Commerce Street runs through the middle of the development, with the industrial area to the west and the residential area to the east in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Within eight months after the initial sale of lots in May 1890, Basic City had grown from two buildings to include a population of 1,000. The Basic City Car Works, Basic City School Furniture Company, and Basic City Iron Works, as well as a paper mill, publishing company, millworks, and other industries established manufacturing facilities here. The city's boom quickly subsided with the financial panic of 1893, and Basic City failed to meet initial expectations. Many of the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century buildings survive, suggesting the character of a turn-of-the-century industrial boomtown.

Parents see 'miracle' when baby's tumor vanishes
By: Jay Warren
CINCINNATI -- Carissa and Matt Hatfield are chalking it up to a divine intervention.
Just two days ago, they though their daughter Paisley was going to die. Since she was born, the Hatfields noticed a little droop on the left side of her face.
"We noticed her eye -- when she would cry, her eye would not shut all the way," Carissa said "It would stay open, and when she started to smile, the same side of her mouth would not move."
A pediatrician suggested they get a scan. That's when they got the news no parent wants to hear: Doctors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Liberty Township found some kind of mass near the base of the Paisley's brain.
On Monday, Paisley was scheduled for a biopsy at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Avondale. The Hatfield said they had friends, family and people across the country praying for their daughter.
"As soon as he came in, he sat down, he was just shaking his head," Carissa said. "He said, 'Your prayers must have worked, because when I went in to get that biopsy,' he said, 'nothing was there.'"
A statement from the hospital Wednesday said:
"Doctors at Children's had expected the worst - a malignant tumor. But when surgeons reached the spot where the suspected tumor was visible on the scan, they found nothing. They couldn't have been happier to tell the good news to the Hatfield family."
Could it have been a problem with the scans? One of CCHMC's best radiologists was on the case.
"A man of God like I am, just looking for some explanation, but it's a true miracle, it's a true healing," dad Matt said.

Участие Буркина-Фасо в операции ООН в Мали — одна из операций вооружённых сил Буркино-Фасо за пределами страны.

История

После военного переворота в Мали весной 2012 года, 11 января 2013 года Франция начала на территории страны военную операцию «Сервал».

Правительство Буркина-Фасо принимало участие в этой операции с января 2013 года. Первое подразделение из 150 военнослужащих перешло границу и заняло город Маркала до появления на территории Мали войск из других государств Африки; к 15 января 2013 года 500 военнослужащих были отправлены на территорию Мали и ещё 500 военнослужащих - размещены вдоль границы между Мали и Буркина-Фасо (они находились на блок-постах, оборудованных на дорогах и патрулировали местность в приграничных районах).

17 января 2013 года Евросоюз выделил финансовую помощь в размере 50 млн. евро для всех африканских стран, отправивших свои войска в Мали.

25 апреля 2013 года Совет Безопасности ООН принял резолюцию № 2100 о проведении комплексной операции по стабилизации обстановки в Мали ().

Правительство Буркина-Фасо согласилось продолжить участие в операции и войска остались в Мали (в основном, в центральных районах Мали и приграничных районах с Буркина-Фасо).

6 июля 2013 года власти Мали отменили чрезвычайное положение, но после того, как в августе 2013 года правительство Нигерии вывело из Мали свой миротворческий контингент (1200 военнослужащих), общая численность войск ООН сократилась (до 5800 человек к 2014 году) и обстановка в стране осложнилась. Руководство ООН обратилось с просьбой к мировому сообществу выделить в Мали дополнительные силы. В дальнейшем, подразделения Буркина-Фасо стали одним из крупнейших компонентов войск ООН на территории Мали.

16 августа 2014 года смертник на пикапе с зарядом взрывчатки взорвал себя возле базы войск ООН на окраине населенного пункта Бер (в 60 км от Тимбукту). Погибли два и были ранены 7 миротворцев ООН (оба погибших являлись гражданами Буркина-Фасо).

14 апреля 2018 года свыше 30 боевиков атаковали военную базу сил ООН "Super Camp" в районе аэропорта Тимбукту - сначала базу обстреляли из миномётов, затем окружавшая базу стена была проломлена взрывами двух автомашин со взрывчаткой, после чего на территорию базы попыталась проникнуть группа из примерно 30 боевиков, одетых в военную форму, напоминавшую униформу военнослужащих войск ООН и армии Мали. Находившиеся на базе военнослужащие MINUSMA (из Франции, Буркина-Фасо и США) вступили с бой с нападавшими, на помощь им прилетел вертолёт MD 500 сальвадорского контингента, но экипаж не смог оказать помощь, так как у них не получилось идентифицировать защитников базы и атакующих боевиков. Потери сил ООН составили 1 человека убитым из контингента Буркина-Фасо и 7 человек (в том числе, два военнослужащих США) ранеными; также были ранены четверо военнослужащих Франции, не входившие в состав сил ООН. Потери нападавших составили 15 человек убитыми.

27 октября 2018 года группа боевиков на нескольких пикапах атаковала базу ООН в селении Бер, обстреляв её из гранатомётов и автоматического оружия. Погибли два и были ранены 11 военнослужащих миротворческого контингента ООН (граждане Буркина-Фасо).

Потери
По официальным данным ООН, за период с начала операции 25 апреля 2013 года до 31 декабря 2022 года в ходе операции MINUSMA в Мали погибли 298 миротворцев ООН (в том числе 25 граждан Буркина-Фасо). Также имелись потери ранеными и травмированными.

Providing fundamental insights into our complex immune system
Contributing to our research community through engaging seminar series
Creating an interactive and collaborative graduate training environment
Duke Immunology: Excellence in Research and Training
The immune system defends us against infection and provides surveillance against tissue damage and cancer. Studies of the immune system are therefore essential to understanding and treating a myriad of diseases. Exciting discoveries in immunology promise, and are delivering, better vaccines to protect against infection, new approaches to suppress allergy, inflammation, autoimmunity and transplant rejection, and new tools to attack cancer.
The Department of Immunology and the Graduate Program in Immunology are celebrating their 25th anniversary. For many years immunologists were housed in the Division of Immunology within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, with D. Bernard Amos (and later, Peter Cresswell) serving as Division Chief. It was only in 1992, with the intent of growing and strengthening research and education in immunology, that we were given formal department status and established an independent graduate program.

Case in point: The latest project by Emilie Munroe of Studio Munroe, who was tasked with creating a contemporary bachelor's abode fit for an on-the-go San Francisco urbanite who wanted a warm but masculine vibe for his 1,500-square-foot apartment. Immediately drawn to mid-century inspired design, menswear-inspired color palettes, and high-functionality furniture, this apartment redesign captures what an authentic present-day bachelor pad looks like. Here, Munroe shares five key pieces of advice to master the look.
Mid-century modern furniture is a genius solution, as it often pairs both plush and sturdy materials. "The two COUP Living Room swivel club chairs have strong wood bases, but also the softness of deep tufting in the upholstery," she says. "We also both loved the large-scale Holly Hunt Ten Carat coffee table for its prominent presence within the room, but also how the edge angles are gem-like and the smoked glass top creates a bright shiny reflective surface."

Note: The following topic is under heavy investigation, no conclusions have been made at this time. We do not yet know the full extent of the variation (mutation). No one has died from the strain at this time. It is also worth noting that this may be more scare tactics in order to further push and pad the pockets of the vaccine industry.
The CDC in Atlanta admits 12 people in 5 states have been infected, as the virus is now possibly transmitting on a human-to-human level.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the new H3N2v Virus has struck in 5 states in the CONUS (Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Pennsylvania and West Virginia), and contains a mutation variant of the 2009 H1N1 "Swine Flu" signaling the possibility of weaponization.
Although the flu was classified as novel, the fact remains that due to pandemic provisions implemented by former President George W. Bush and extended by the current Obama administration, in conjunction with the World Health Organization, the United States is technically under Pandemic Level 6 (silent martial law) until March of 2012 which gives the UN powers within the United States by way of treaty.

Why do we need to worry about scaffolding safety?
There are many dangers on construction sites; some are obvious - like heavy machinery, equipment, deep excavations and trenches - while others dangers to site safety are more subtle like vibrations and incremental repetitive stresses.
There are also a number of site activities which fall somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. We understand the dangers of these things or activities, but often overlook them or become complacent when performing or conducting them because of how 'normal' they are.
Scaffolding falls into this middle ground The dangers of scaffolding are quite obvious, including falling from heights, falling objects and scaffolding structures slipping or giving way on uneven or unsuitable ground.
But the dangers of scaffolding are often ignored or overlooked because of how frequently it is used, because of how normal scaffold has become on construction sites, and because of how comfortable people feel when working on a platform which 'seems like the ground'.
All of these complacencies and minor frame of mind elements can lower the level of care taken by many different site parties, which forms part of the very real danger of scaffolding.
In the United States alone, around 10,000 construction workers are injured every year in scaffolding accidents, and 88 people died in a single year (2007).
While some of these incidents are more avoidable than others, estimates show that around 50% of these incidents could have been prevented if the right scaffolding safety practices were maintained (and if the scaffolding safety tips were heeded).
Some of these incidents occur because of negligence on the part of people working on scaffolding, while a fair share are also caused by the poor assembly of structures, the poor maintenance and inadequate inspections of scaffolding, and even . by design and manufacturing errors and flaws.
Managing scaffolding safety in the right way can dramatically impact scaffolding and scaffolding work safety - which is why we have put together these scaffolding safety tips.
Some of the below scaffolding safety tips are intended for large-scale construction sites, while others are more specific for small scaffolds which are erected and managed for smaller scale jobs.
Whatever type of construction projects you manage, these safety tips should still be relevant and applicable for your sites and work.
On too many construction sites, scaffolding is erected properly and deemed 'complete' for the remainder of the project. But like most things in the construction industry, scaffolding needs to be inspected throughout the life of the project, to ensure that it it's integrity and safety remains.
Hundreds of moving pieces and people, as well as vibrations and shifts in the site environment itself can easily move or alter scaffold. It's imperative for scaffolding safety that inspections are conducted properly (using an inspection framework like below) and that inspections continue at scheduled intervals.
This is my most important scaffolding safety tip, because the impact of scaffolding collapsing or falling because it hasn't been inspected properly can be catastrophic and widespread.
It's also important because it protects against many of the scaffolding safety hazards, including manufacturing and design issues as well as installation and wear-and-tear issues.
Use this scaffold safety form for free.
You would think this one was a no-brainer, but companies and workers can often give the green light to scaffolding work without realising that people aren't equipped for the job.
This training must be conducted by a qualified person and not be a few minute induction by someone who is currently on the scaffold.
One of the inherent dangers of scaffold is that the surfaces scaffold is used on and for is often uneven and can even be soft (sand etc.). Scaffold frames are designed for use with casters or base plates, so make sure you have a stable base using these items.
Small wooden base plates are great, because the slight flex in wood ensures an even distribute of weight.
Even so, make sure you understand the load rating of your scaffold, because too much weight and too many workers can be dangerous for all.
This scaffold safety tip is in relation to the inspection safety tip, and involves better managing all of your safety documentation.
Even if you perform all of your inspections properly, you still need a reliable and secure way of knowing when the inspections were performed, the outcomes of those inspections, and when more checks need to be performed.
The best way to track inspection forms and important documents on construction and industrial sites is the register. Maintaining an up-to-date scaffolding inspection register is a great way to keep your company, projects and teams on top of everything scaffold related.
It's even more ideal if workers can access and look at scaffold records so that they can do quick checks before jumping into work.
Use this scaffold safety register for free.
Many people see scaffold as infrastructure to stand on, but you can build comfortable workspaces on scaffold - by using scaffold.
Many tradesmen and site workers throw scaffold up and jump on it to get the job done quickly, and end up working in an awkward scenario where they don't have a place to put their tools or supplies. This is uncomfortable, can lead to a lack of concentration, and can also result in dropping objects off the scaffold as well as slipping on objects which have been placed on the floor of the scaffold.
Create a workbench by placing scaffold planks at a higher level than what you are working on so you have a nice space to put your things and a better place to work.
This scaffolding safety tip is particularly useful for a single tradesman or working on a small area where you will be for a few days.
Another obvious one, but one which can be easily overlooked or ignored is to not use scaffold (or anything other than a suitable ladder) to get up on the scaffold. Although scaffold does make for a fun and impressive climbing frame, climbing on the outside of a tall and potential unstable platform is not safe.
Make sure workers have easy access to scaffold ladders, and that when they are working frequently in one area, that there is a ladder in close proximity to remove the temptation of using the scaffold as a monkey gym.
Another one of the more common scaffolding hazards which leads to a number of avoidable injuries and issues is workers using boxes, crates and other objects to give themselves a little additional height.
Standing on a plastic crate or box, on top of scaffolding is asking for trouble - so this is a must-heed safety tip for all of your sites.
Encourage yourself and other workers to be mindful while working on and around scaffold at all times. Even though everyone has their PPE and hardhats on, it's important to remain vigilant of what's happening from above.
It's equally important to keep track of what's happening below. Being aware of falling object hazards and where there are big groups of people or frequent walk-ways helps to mitigate the chances of falling object injuries.
And looking down doesn't start at the ground. Keep a constant eye on the state of the scaffolding surface. Bricks, mud, rain and other materials can build up on the surface of scaffold, and a little slip or trip can result in a big incident.
We have easy access to some of the scaffolding safety tips documents and forms below, so you can use them to improve your scaffolding inspections and records straight away.
Most of the other safety tips involve safety training, being open about scaffold safety, and individuals being more cognisant of scaffold hazards and dangers.
When you put some of these practices and tips into place, you will be mitigating many of the risks which result in scaffolding incidents, which means more people are going to get home safe.

Nice sized Cod and Haddock are filling freezers of those who are getting in on this great fall fishing! Cod to 15 pounds found some jigs bouncing along the bottom. Haddock are also being caught on jigs with the right technique. The weather plays a factor in the action of the jigs as rough weather is tougher to give the lures the right presentation.When these conditions prevail bait fishing is much more productive.
Large Sharks have still been abundant in the Gloucester waters this fall, Sharks have visited the boat on most trips and are caught on Stand up gear for those who would like a taste of fighting a big game fish this excitement is for you!
October weekday specials on trip discounts and free stays at Lisa's lookout was in the news letter last week, call for details on this great deal to finish up the fishing year.

Fall fishing has begun on Kayman Charters! Large Cod to 20 pounds were jigged up this week! Those are some of the best migrating Cod we have seen in a while! These nice white bellied fish were jigged up in 250 ft. of water east of Gloucester on some of Capt. Kevin's hot spots. Shimano butterfly jigs seem to be the trick for catching these nice fish as well as large Haddock that can't resist these lures.
Large Haddock to 10 pounds continue to be caught every day on those with the perfect jig technique or on the clam bait offerings.
Fall fishing is always popular as folks feel the chill in the air and want to get out fishing one more time. Kayman Charters has some weekday stay and fish specials make sure you get the news letter if you would like to take advantage of these great deals.
