Study estimates that more than half of US hospitals not in compliance with new pricing disclosure rules in first five months
Compliance with new requirement linked to regional hospital compliance, information technology preparedness
Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health
A study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health that examined U.S. hospital compliance with new rules requiring hospitals to disclose prices found wide fluctuations across states, with some states achieving 75 percent or higher compliance and others coming in at 25 percent or lower. Taken together, more than half—55 percent—of U.S. hospitals were not compliant with the new federal rule that went into effect January 1 this year.
The study ranked publicly available hospital compliance information for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 305 geographic regions in the U.S. The researchers based their analysis on files from more than 3,500 U.S. hospitals in the first five months of 2021, January 1 through June 1.
At least 75 percent of hospitals were compliant in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Michigan. In contrast, at most, 25 percent of hospitals were compliant in Delaware, Maryland, Washington, and Louisiana. The researchers also found that a hospital's compliance status was strongly associated with the average compliance level of peer hospitals in the same regional market. A hospital would be 42 percent more likely to be compliant if all other hospitals in the same geographic region were compliant as well.
The study will be published online December 9 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
"The findings suggest that hospitals do not make decisions in isolation, rather their decisions reflect market pressure from their peers," says the study's senior author, Ge Bai, PhD, CPA, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and professor of accounting at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. "If the average compliance status in the same region is high, a hospital is more likely to comply."
John Jiang, PhD, a professor of accounting and information systems at Michigan State University's Broad College of Business, is the paper's first author.
The Hospital Price Transparency Rule—managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—requires individual hospitals to provide clear pricing information online about the services they provide. The information must be posted in a file format that can be imported or read into a computer system, also known as a machine-readable file. Hospitals must also include standard pricing for at least 300 services, ranging from colonoscopies to CAT scans. Hospitals are not required to disclose prices for emergency services under the new rule.
The rule is designed to allow consumers to compare prices and estimated cost of services. It can also help patients make more informed decisions about care, increase hospital competition, and potentially drive down costs. Non-compliant hospitals can face steep penalties—up to $2 million a year until they share pricing information in compliance with the new requirements.
The researchers, using data from Turquoise Health, a data service company that collects hospital pricing information, analyzed a nationally representative sample of machine-readable files from 3,558 general acute hospitals—which represents 88 percent of general acute hospitals in the U.S.—from the January 1 to June 1 study period. The researchers categorized hospitals based on "compliance"—a hospital that posted a machine-readable file with negotiated prices for at least one health insurance plan—and "noncompliance"—a hospital that had not posted a machine-readable file and no negotiated prices.
For their study, the researchers also looked at compliance among the country's 305 hospital referral regions. The researchers found that in 194 hospital referral regions, or 64 percent, more than half of hospitals were not compliant with the new disclosure requirement. All hospitals in 20 referral regions, including regions in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia, were compliant. On the contrary, all hospitals in 26 regions, including regions in Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, were noncompliant.
A hospital's health information technology preparedness—defined as the proportion of a hospital's fixed assets devoted to health IT purposes—is also associated with greater compliance, as were for-profit hospitals, system-affiliated hospitals, and non-urban hospitals.
"Interestingly, hospitals that have invested more in health IT are more likely to post their pricing information online," says Bai. "This could be because they have more financial resources and personnel to mitigate the cost for implementing the Price Transparency Rule."
"Factors Associated with Compliance to the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule: A National Landscape Study" was written by John Jiang, Daniel Polsky, Jeff Littlejohn, Yuchen Wang, Hossein Zare, and Ge Bai.
The study was supported by Arnold Ventures.

No one should be in any doubt of the impact environmental measures will continue to have on Ireland's transport industry. The government has been absolutely clear about the need to reduce carbon emissions. In line with Ireland's participation in the Kyoto Protocol and EU agreements, Ireland's National Climate Change Strategy calls for an annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 3% in the period 2008-2012 – over 17 million tonnes in total.
In 2006, the last year for which figures are available, transport emissions made up almost 20% of the national total; road transport accounted for 97% of that. And while better road infrastructure will actually reduce emissions through the reduction in congestion, plans for new motorways will not let hauliers off the hook. Not only has the EU called for ever cleaner fuels, but it wants to reduce the number of heavy vehicles on the road.
Hauliers have to work to make their operations as efficient as possible through effective load planning and route scheduling; implementation of the right technology to help manage the workforce, as well as the fleet; regular vehicle maintenance; driver training; and of course, an increased sharing of vehicles to minimise empty running.
And that's where Independent Express comes in. Being a key member and founder of The Pallet Network, Independent achieves better vehicle utilisation while covering less miles through sharing the distribution of pallets. This not only reduces the carbon emissions but at the same time allows us to provide a better service to our customers. The rest of the industry should be green with envy!

Q: Are there any relations R of size 15 on the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} such that R is both transitive and symmetric? Are there any relations R of size 15 on the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} such that R is both transitive and symmetric?
Hi, I'm gonna share my thoughts on this problem and my answer and hopefully someone can correct me if I'm way off (as it is my homework :)).
Ok, the set is of size 6. Let us look at the partition corresponding to the relation R. Suppose that is has parts P1, ..., Pn of sizes m1, ..., mn, respectively. For each index k=1, ..., n the part Pk contributes mk*(mk-1) ordered pairs to R, since:
mk=2 -> Pk(a,b) which contributes: (a,b),(b,a)
mk=3 -> Pk(a,b,c) which contributes: (a,b);(b,a);(c,a)
                                     (a,c);(b,c);(c,b)
and so on (assuming that I can't use reflexivity mk=1 should not be allowed)
Thus I should try to satisfy the following eq.
1) SUM mk=6,     where k=1,...,n
2) SUM mk*(mk-1)=15,      where k=1,...,n
Since 6 can be partitioned into 11 ways, satisfying eq. 1:
6, 5+1, 4+2, 4+1+1, 3+3, 3+2+1, 3+1+1+1, 2+2+2, 2+2+1+1, 2+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1
And since no one of these satisfy eq.2 we can't have a relation R of size 15 on the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (we should be able to exclude all combinations containing 1, since we did not allow mk=1).
Even if we allow symmetry (mk=1), and eq.2 gets modified to SUM mk^2=15 none of the partitions of 6 solves this eq. either.
So, am I wrong or can I deliver this to my teacher?

A: Let $A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$. Suppose that $R$ is a symmetric, transitive relation on $A$. For each $a\in A$ let $C_a=\{a\}\cup\{b\in A:\langle a,b\rangle\in R\}$.

*

*Show that $\{C_a:a\in A\}$ is a partition of $A$.

*Show that if $|C_a|>1$, then $C_a\times C_a\subseteq R$, so $|R|\ge|C_a|^2$.

*Show that if $C_a=\{a\}$, then $R$ may but need not contain $\langle a,a\rangle$.

You'll need to use the following fact: if $\langle a,b\rangle\in R$, where $a\ne b$, then by symmetry $\langle b,a\rangle\in R$, and transitivity then implies that $\langle a,a\rangle,\langle b,b\rangle\in R$.
If $|R|=15$, we must have $|C_a|\le 3$ for all $a\in A$. Since $3\cdot2^2=12<15$, we must have at least one $a\in A$ such that $|C_a|=3$. Thus, the only possibilities for the cardinalities of the sets $C_x$ are $\langle 3,3\rangle$, $\langle 3,2,1\rangle$, and $\langle 3,1,1,1\rangle$. The first of these would make $|R|=3^2+3^2=18$. The second would make $|R|$ either $3^2+2^2+1^2=14$ or $3^2+2^2=13$. What are the possible cardinalities of $R$ in the third case?

Myles Horton
Educator, Activist : 1905 - 1990
"Probably the most important thing we do for people is to have them participate in an actual democratic experience – a ripe experience where people are free to talk and make decisions, where there is no discrimination, and where their experience is valued. If you don't value a person's experiences, I don't know how you can value them as a person."
"You can't be a revolutionary, you can't want to change society if you don't love people." Myles Horton's love of people drove his career in activism through several decades and causes, from the workers movements of the 1930's, to the Civil Rights movement, and through the environmental activism of the 1970s and '80s.
Horton is best known as a leader of The Highlander Folk School, which he founded in 1932 with educator Don West and Methodist minister James A. Dombrowski. The three men shared a vision of a place where people of all races could work together to learn and share ideas. The Highlander Folk School was an important learning community for several truth tellers and heroes of the Civil Rights movement, including Anne Braden, John Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, among others. They gathered in Monteagle, Tennessee to study collective organizing and the power of groups to defeat injustice.
Myles Horton was born on July 9, 1905. He was raised in Savannah, a small town in west Tennessee, by his parents, Elsie Falls and Perry Horton. Both of Horton's parents were teachers who also worked odd jobs, including in canning factories and sharecropping. The Hortons taught their son to be an activist and to see the value in all members of their community. In his autobiography, Horton wrote, "From my mother and father I learned the idea of service and the value of education. They taught me by their actions that you are supposed to serve your fellow men, you're supposed to do something worthwhile with your life, and education is meant to help you do something for others." Even when they were poor without much to eat, Horton's mother would share food with other families in the community. Horton never got angry that he had less food to eat because he saw how strongly his mother believed in giving to others.
Eventually, Horton left home to study at Cumberland University in Nashville. He intended to study education and return to west Tennessee and open a school. Horton believed his best learning happened in the library, where he read books and formed his own ideas.
In 1927, he took a summer job organizing community meetings for the Presbyterian church, encouraging participants to tell their stories. It was excellent practice for the teaching he'd do at Highlander Folk School.
In 1928, Horton, upset that the college YWCA groups were racially segregated, organized a luncheon at a hotel for several local groups. When the black and white students arrived, they were confused, but they sat down to eat. The black servers told Horton they weren't allowed to serve a mixed group of diners. He told them to ask the managers if they wanted to waste food for 120 people and not get paid. The meal was served. Horton knew it was a risk to violate segregation laws; any of the participants could have been arrested or thrown out of the hotel. But Horton wanted to do "something about a moral problem instead of simply talking about it…and over 120 people learned that they could change things if they wanted to."
Myles Horton traveled the nation and the world, observing schools and thinkers that created change and empowered citizens. He studied at Union Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago. Later, Horton traveled to Europe. He was fascinated by the folk schools of Denmark, which had a strong influence on his ideas about education. In Denmark, he saw that social learning was more effective than book work. He summed up his thoughts on education this way: "Curiosity is very important I think, and I think too much of education, starting with childhood education, is either designed to kill curiosity, or it works out that way anyway." Horton believed that education was best when it left room for students to develop and share their own ideas.
In 1932, Horton, West, and Dombrowski founded the Highlander Folk School on donated land in Grundy County, Tennessee. They believed that oppressed people were more powerful together. The school was a place for the oppressed to gather, learn, organize, and make change. Throughout the Great Depression, the school advocated for the working class by providing training for workers and labor organizers. Eventually, the school shifted its focus to Civil Rights. Throughout the 1950's, the school organized literacy and voter registration for Blacks all over the nation. Rosa Parks visited and felt supported and encouraged by the community at Highlander Folk School the school just before her famous refusal to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1964 the Freedom Schools organized by civil rights workers in Mississippi to give African American children and adults the opportunity of educational equality were modeled on the social justice schools developed at Highlander.
The fight for civil rights was long and difficult, with interference from the government and hostile community groups, including the KKK. Tennessee held trials, questioning Horton and trying to link him to communism. In 1961, the state of Tennessee forced The Highlander Folk School to close. Horton and his group organized and reopened the school in Knoxville.
Today, the Highlander Research and Education Center is a social justice leadership training school and cultural center in New Market, Tennessee, northeast of Knoxville.
Horton created an institution that has stayed strong for decades; however, he didn't believe that institutions themselves deserved respect. Rather, they should earn respect by doing good work: "When people criticize me for not having any respect for existing structures and institutions, I protest. I say I give institutions and structures and traditions all the respect that I think they deserve. That's usually mighty little, but there are things that I do respect. They have to earn that respect. They have to earn it by serving people. They don't earn it just by age or legality or tradition."
Myles Horton died in New Market, Tennessee on January 19, 1990. That year, his book The Long Haul: An Autobiography, was published, as well as a collection of conversations with Paolo Freire, We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change.

General Motors said Monday it will close five factories and lay off nearly 15,000 workers in a move that shows the economy may be starting to slow and dents President Trump's claim to be leading a renaissance for industrial America.
The automaker said it would save $6 billion annually by thinning its salaried management ranks, dropping thousands of American and Canadian factory workers, and emphasizing the production of larger sport-utility vehicles rather than sedans.
GM's announcement sounded an incongruous note amid otherwise plentiful signs of U.S. economic health. The last six months have produced the economy's best back-to-back quarters in four years. The unemployment rate is near a half-century low. And corporate profits are exceeding expectations.
Yet the automaker's overhaul is a reminder that the economic expansion, which began in June 2009, already is the second-longest since modern records began in 1854. Few economists anticipate a recession anytime soon, but the annualized rate of auto sales has fallen by 1 million vehicles since September 2017, and data on retail sales, industrial production and housing all suggest that the economy is tiring.
"We'd be very surprised to see output growth picking up further from here; all the manufacturing cyclical indicators we follow have peaked, and some are declining," Ian Shepherdson, chief economist for Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote in a recent research note.
Trump said he was pressing the company to replace lost production in the factories it plans to shutter with other models, citing the Lordstown plant, which makes the Chevy Cruze.
"Their car is not selling well. So they'll put something else — I have no doubt that, in a not-too-distant future, they'll put something else. They better put something else in," he said.
Trump's ire may be linked to his repeated promises to reverse the Rust Belt jobs hemorrhage that he said had emptied the region's factories as a result of poorly designed trade policies.
In Lordstown, workers planned to pray for a miraculous reversal of the company's decision, according to David Green, president of United Auto Workers Local 1112.
About 40 percent of the local's members voted for Trump, Green said. Now workers want to see the president keep his promises, he said.
Indeed, even before Monday's announcement, Lordstown was bleeding jobs. Since Trump took office, GM has eliminated two shifts and roughly 3,000 jobs at the plant, according to John Russo, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University's Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.
Despite a lengthy period of economic growth, the unemployment rate in the area is 5.2 percent, well above the national 3.7 percent mark.
Investors' reaction to the news underscored the Wall Street-Main Street divide that the populist president has vowed to erase. Even as thousands of American families faced a holiday season without cheer, GM shareholders saw an immediate 4.8 percent gain in the value of their shares.
Roughly 1 million of the nation's 150 million non-farm workers are employed in motor vehicle manufacturing, according to economist Jim O'Sullivan of High-Frequency Economics. That's about as many vehicle production jobs as 10 years ago, when the total U.S. workforce was smaller.
The overall economy is still in good shape. Small businesses remain upbeat, and payrolls are expected to continue growing, O'Sullivan said.
But the economy's growth rate, which slowed in the third quarter to 3.5 percent from 4.2 percent in the previous three months, is widely expected to continue decelerating. The boost from last year's tax cut and increased government spending is fading, while uncertainties and costs associated with the president's tariffs are mounting.

George Mason Swimmers Up Win Tally, Still Undefeated
January 29, 2009 6:42 PM by
The George Mason swim teams extended their undefeated streaks to nine on Friday night as both the boys and the girls took down Clarke County at the Dunn Loring YWCA, Mason's home pool.
The teams fared almost identically against their familiar opponent; the girls' team won 110-57, while the final of the boys meet was 112-56.
For the ninth consecutive meet, both Mason squads dominated their opponents, capturing first in 20 of the 22 events. Junior Kelley Frank had a state qualifying time in the 100-yard butterfly posting a clip of 1:05. Oddly enough, Frank did not win the event; Clarke's Anne Bosacco, also a junior, swam at a state qualifying level as well. She beat out Frank for first with a time of 1:02.
Junior Brandy Arredondo set a new team record time in the 200-yard freestyle. Arredondo already had possession of the record, but she lowered the mark to 2:22.
The girls 400-yard freestyle relay team had a record-setting performance as well. The relay team, consisting of Frank, junior Karen Hamill and freshmen Leah Thirkill and Gen Jordan, improved upon the mark that they had set earlier this year as they lowered the record time to 4:17.
In addition to the record-setting performances, the Mason girls team had several other standouts. Freshman Claire Constance swam an impressive race in the 500 freestyle, one of the more exhausting individual events, beating out Clarke County's Sophia Neuber by less than two seconds in a race that lasted over seven minutes.
Another freshman, Carolyn Schmitt, took first in an individual event, posting a time of 1:17 in the 100 breaststroke.
The aforementioned juniors, Frank and Hamill, each won individual races on top of their record-breaking swims. Frank won the 200-yard freestyle and Hamill the 50 free.
On the boys side, it was the usual suspects doing the damage for the Mustangs. Junior Sam Parker had another big meet, winning the 500-yard freestyle by 13 seconds in addition to being part of the victorious 200-yard freestyle relay team.
Parker's relay teammate, sophomore Sam Butler, continued his dominance in the 100 breaststroke, posting a time of 1:11, edging out Clarke County senior Lawson Moore.
Another multi-event winner for Mason was senior Carlos Clark. Clark, along with sophomore Will Doty, senior Jack Cashin and freshman Alex Valentino, smoked the competition by over 20 seconds in the boys 400 freestyle relay. Ten events prior to the relay, Clark won the boys 100-yard free with a clip of 55.27 seconds.
The win over Clarke County was just the Mustangs' second home meet of the season. The first was a week earlier against Stonewall Jackson High School, in which both squads won in blowout fashion once again. Mason swimmers took first place in 21 of the 22 events. One of the highlights of the meet was Kelley Frank earning a state qualifying time in the 200-yard individual medley while setting a new team record in the event. Sam Butler and Brandy Arredondo set team records of their own in the boys 200-yard IM and girls 200 freestyle.
The Mustangs will face another familiar foe when they put their undefeated record on the line against Strasburg in their third and final home meet of the regular season this Friday at the Dunn Loring YWCA. The meet begins at 7:30.
Following the Strasburg meet, the teams will head to Bristol, Virginia for the Single A Invitationals where they will look to prove themselves as the top Single A squad in the state for the second year in a row.


Download "Chapter 1 Getting Started"
1 Chapter 1 Getting Started The C# class Just like all object oriented programming languages, C# supports the concept of a class. A class is a little like a data structure in that it aggregates different kinds of data together and allows creating multiple instances of this data. This is similar to records in some programming languages or structs in C. What makes the class unique is the ability to bundle functions (methods) along with the data fields. Here is a simple class with two data fields and a function. public class Demo public int count; public string name = "Tom"; public void Increment() ++count; The keyword public indicates that the field or method is available to all users of the class without restriction. I will discuss ways of hiding class members a little later. For the most part the syntax of C# is similar to C and C++ as well as Java and some other languages. As you can see we have an integer field named count and a string named name that is initialized to "Tom." What do you think the field count is initialized to? We didn't provide an initialization. In C# all fields and variables are initialized to zero automatically. You don t need to provide an initial value in this case. But be careful, this may not be what you think. If we left out the initialization for the field name, it would not be initialized to a zero length string. All this will be explained when we cover value vs. reference types. A Complete Program If you are like me you want to start writing and running programs right away. In spite of your eagerness we need to introduce another very important basic concept. Where does our program start? If you know C or C++ you probably remember that a function with the reserved name main is provided for this purpose. Guess what? C# really isn't any different except that main must be inside a class. In fact just about everything needs to be inside a class. Forget about global variables. They really don't exist in the usual sense in C#. However, there are some convenient ways around that that result in better written programs.
4 After a few moments your new application should be created. Your screen should look similar to Figure 1-2. The Solution Explorer shows a tree containing the files associated with your application. The editor pane should show the newly created program which is a file named Program.cs. C# programs are stored in file with the extension.cs. The skeleton code generated is a bit more complicated than the simple class I showed earlier. Figure 1-2 You can see that a class named Program has been created with our Main method. The single parameter, args, is an array of character strings that correspond to any command line arguments you supply when you execute the program. You may be wondering where the public access modifiers are. Visual Studio 2005 omits them because the default access provides public access within your program. I will discuss this in detail later. You can add the public access modifiers if you wish. Before we turn this skeleton program into a program that actually does something we need to talk about namespaces. Namespaces The.NET programming environment provides an extensive class library. You are probably used to programming with some type of run-time library such as the Microsoft Foundation Classes or the standard C++ library. Unlike programming in other environments, C# and.net does not require including header files. Instead, we use the concept of a namespace. Name spaces exist in C++ but are central to programming for the.net environment.
5 The special keyword using is provided to allow easy access to the classes in a particular section of the.net Framework Class Library, or FCL. The most important namespace is the System namespace. It contains classes that are central to writing.net programs. As you can see the skeleton code also include two other namespaces, System.Collections.Generic, and System.Text. Thesenamespaces are used so often that they are provided by default. We really don t need to specify any of these namespaces with the using directive, but if we didn t we would have to preface every method we wanted to invoke with the name of the namespace. Visual Studio 2005 automatically places all of your program code in its own namespace, ConsoleApplication1. This is a good idea since it eliminates name conflicts with classes in the FCL. The Console Class For a practical application we need to perform some input/output. The Console class in the System namespace is a versatile class to perform console input and output. Here is a simple program that outputs a line of text. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 class Program static void Main(string args) Console.WriteLine("My first program in C#."); If we didn't include the System namespace we would have had to invoke the Console.WriteLine method as System.Console.Writeline. To run this program just select Debug Start Without Debugging. You should see the following window displayed.
6 The second line is provided by Visual Studio to allowing viewing your output. If you start the program with Debug Start you would not see this second line and your console window would appear briefly and disappear. You can prevent this by placing a breakpoint using the debugger. I will cover the use of the debugger a bit later. This isn t a very interesting program, but it is one that everyone writes as their first program using a new programming language. Here is a more interesting program. I am only including the Main method to save space. static void Main(string args) int n=2; for (int i = 1; i <= 8; ++i) Console.WriteLine("0 1", i, n); n *= 2; As you can see this program outputs the powers of two from 2 1 to 2 8.

Monthly News Update February 2019: Southern Cameroons National Council - Introduction
BY PHEDRA NEEL, RESEARCH ASSOCIATE PILPG-NL
The situation in Southern Cameroons is as dire as it is unknown. The Cameroonian government is fighting groups in the region that it labels "armed separatist groups". These groups want to establish an independent state called Ambazonia. The resulting violence is causing casualties on both sides. Civilians see their human rights violated on a large scale. This blog series aims to raise awareness about this situation by regularly discussing specific aspects of the situation or by bringing updates of recent events.
Southern Cameroons and its continuing battle for independence
Today, the inhabitants of Cameroon are facing multiple challenges. In the north, they are still combating Boko Haram and trying to cope with more than 100.000 Nigerian refugees fleeing the organization. In the east, Cameroon is struggling with the spillover effects from the conflict in the Central African Republic. In the west, the government is fighting what it calls "armed separatist groups". Two years ago, some of these groups took up arms in their pursuit of an independent Southern Cameroons called 'Ambazonia'. This claim for independence dates back to the colonial days.
Following the Treaty of Versailles, the German colony 'Kamerun' was divided into a French Trusteeship, now known as the Republic of Cameroon, and a British trusteeship, the Southern Cameroons. After the French trusteeship gained independence in 1960, the British trusteeship was presented with a choice: to join Cameroon or to join Nigeria, another former British trusteeship. Southern Cameroons was thus never given the chance to become truly independent. Southern Cameroons eventually choose to join Cameroon, and Cameroon promised to grant the Southern Cameroonians equal rights in a federal state.
However, Cameroon has not upheld its promises, and undermined the position of the people of Southern Cameroons on multiple occasions. For example, it has forced the people of Southern Cameroons to use the French language in official settings instead of their predominantly native English language. In 2016, the people of Southern Cameroons once again started to protest for more rights, including the right to use English in schools and in courtrooms. The federal government forcefully repressed these protests. As a result, some people of the Southern Cameroons felt that independence would be the only solution. Ever since, violence has become part of everyday life in the region, and is taking a toll on the civilian population.
Every day, newspapers report about alleged murders, extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, disappearances, dismembered bodies, and shootings. A report produced by humanitarian organizations, including UNICEF and the Human Rights Committee, has shown that the 'Anglophone crisis' has left 1.3 million people in need of assistance and 435,500 people internally displaced. About 3,700 unaccompanied minors are in urgent need for psychological care. More than 40 percent of hospitals and health centers no longer provide vaccines, and more than 15 percent of births occur without the presence of trained healthcare professionals. Those who manage to flee the country are not out of harm's way either. For example, they live in dire conditions in host communities. Furthermore, 47 Southern Cameroonian leaders are on trial on counts of terrorism. These individuals have been detained since January 2018, after being illegally extradited from Nigeria to Cameroon. While the situation receives more attention from the international community, the prosecutions continue. Their trial has been postponed on numerous occasions, currently until February 20, 2019.
At first, international organizations and states seemed unwilling to interfere or comment on the situation, apart from general calls for peace and sustainable solutions. However, since the elections in October 2018, which were won by Paul Biya – Cameroon's president since 1982 – some states have started speaking up. For example, the United Kingdom asked for "a peaceful and structured process leading to constitutional reforms" in response to the 2018 election results. This is uncommon, as asking for constitutional reforms is more intrusive than asking for a dialogue. The other former colonizer, Germany, has gone even further than the United Kingdom. Even before the election results were made official, German members of parliament asked the German federal government for action. More specifically, they wanted the Government to offer its services as a mediator in order to start political dialogue; suspend development aid to Cameroon; work together with the EU to encourage dialogue; and bring an end to military cooperation with the Cameroonian government.
The Unites States of America have reconsidered their assistance to Cameroon. They are still providing assistance in the fight against Boko Haram but are increasingly afraid that their contribution is used in Southern Cameroons.
Whereas France did not issue a similar statement after the elections, it has spoken on several other occasions. For example, France did speak up whenover 70 students and staff members from a secondary school were kidnapped in November 2018, when a journalist was arrested for accusing the government of being responsible for the death of an American missionary in Southern Cameroons, and when the government arrested opposition leader Maurice Kamto.
However, more concrete action will be needed to pressure the federal government to stop the large scale human rights violations. The United Nations should take action that goes beyond mere condemnations of the violence. For example, the United Nations Human Rights Council could appoint a special rapporteur for the entire territory of Cameroon. Such an appointment could help document the violence, and facilitate negotiations towards a peaceful solution.
At the same time, the international community as a whole could work together to put an end to the violence that is negatively affecting the everyday life of so many individuals. Each of these members has an interest in the stability in the region, andthe power to pressure the Cameroonian government to bring lasting peace.

A Monument for Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn in Germany's empty center.
In the seminar week "Footnotes from Central Java" we followed our cicerone, the explorer Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn (1809—1864) to the crater rim of his favorite volcano, Gunung Merapi. Now, it is time to search for his origins and to locate the birthplace of tourism, the Harz mountain range in Northern Germany. The seminar week will bring us to Mansfeld, where Junghuhn grew up. Our mission is to erect together with artists a Non-Monument in the forest to commemorate Junghuhn's escape from Germany after a duel. We will travel in mobile homes, walk through the night, and read Heinrich Heine's first publication, the Harzreise (1826), a prefiguration of modern German travel literature. We will climb the Brocken, a symbol of the German national identity and reenact Goethe's Walpurgisnacht.
Part of the research project "The Tourist".

A popular Magic rumor website has confirmed the next two months worth of Friday Night Magic promos.
The September promo will be Teetering Peaks while I realize that the image we have is Asian in origin, your FNM location will have English copies.
Teetering Peaks will see play in both Modern and it's remaining time left in Standard. It is used in heavily aggressive decks like Mono Green Infect, where you need any pump spell you can get your hands on.
The October promo will be Contagion Clasp. Unfortunately, this was spoiled at a Wizards trade press conference at Gen Con and we do not have the picture for it yet. I imagine we will see new art. This card is a decent colorless removal spell. While it doesn't see heavy play, it doesn't see no play either. This will be one that Commander players will seek out.
As always, you can find a location to play at Friday Night Magic at www.wizards.com/locator.

The West Marine VHF 55 is a compact, lightweight, and inexpensive handheld marine VHF radio. It weighs in at just under nine ounces and will fit in your hand nicely.
The included AC charger will fully charge the 1200 mAH Lithium Ion battery used in this radio in a maximum time of 12 hours. A triple-A battery pack is not available for this radio.
This radio has only basic functions; all are controlled by eight pushbuttons on the front of the unit. Pushbuttons are not our preferred method of control for volume and squelch. These two important functions are more user-friendly when they are controlled with twist knobs. Volume control was not as fine as it could be. The minimum level is too high, we'd like to be able to adjust the volume to a lower intensity.
The VHF55 has basic channel scanning with dual watch and memory scan modes using two front panel pushbuttons. A quick selection of channel 16 or 9 can be made with its respective pushbutton. This radio can use all Canadian, International, and US channels.
There is no provision for an external microphone or speaker on this radio.
Overall performance of the VHF55 was above average. Highlights included top ratings for transceiver performance and the best in class results in our battery life test. This radio was still going strong at 15 hours, though the battery level meter did show less than full. The audio system performed well too hitting 94 dBA in our output test.
We rated the display screen excellent. It uses large numbers to display the channel and large letters to indicate which channel group is selected. There is also a battery level meter, volume level meter, and high/low transmitter power icon.
We'd rate the VHF 55 highly when compared to other sub $100 handheld radios. It carries a 3-year warranty on the radio and 12 months on the battery.
It would be a very useful bit of info if the reviews included the type of antenna connection on the unit, so one would know if an external antenna could be used for better performance or not.
My vhf 55 RADIO remains on "BUSY", thereby preventing me from transmitting or receiving. Any suggestions?


This class was originally in my online class "In-Tune with the Moon 2015" for December, which you will hear reference to in the video. This was the last video of that class, but each project stood alone. The notes you will see below also go along with the 2015 class to give you reference about the video. The project itself is still relevant although it was inspired the moon in cancer.
For me it focused on what I am ready to release and what I am ready to claim.
You certainly do not need the supplies above, use what you already have, experiment and play.

Eli & Fur To Release Debut Album On Anjundadeep Next Month
'Found In The Wild' will release on June 25
Eli & Fur will be making their highly anticipated album debut with the release of 'Found In The Wild' next month. To increase the hype around their debut album, the duo has shared their tracklist and a brand new single, 'Wild Skies,' to help promote their upcoming album. 'Wild Skies,' is a soft, melodic, and ambient electronic tune that helps exemplify the album's overall message of finding the sounds that 'truly defines' the electronic duo. Eli & Fur disclosed to Magnetic Magazine that,
"We have drawn from that journey to get to where we are both musically and emotionally to put together a collection of tracks that really showcase the two sides of Eli & Fur. Not only does our music have two sides, but so do we. We want to bring the listener into those worlds, feelings they also feel."
The album will be split into two separate parts, 'Found' and 'In The Wild.' 'Found' will focus on more lyric-based tunes while 'In The Wild' will be generated towards club-like environments. The combination of the two styles will likely bring forth the duo's production abilities and will allow fans to experience both mellow and clubbier sounds. 'Found In The Wild' is the perfect name for Eli & Fur's debut album, and what better way to release a debut album than on Anjunadeep.
Pre-save 'Found In The Wild here,' out June 25.
