In George Bernard Shaw's Play, Misalliance, a young socialist bursts into a upper-class weekend party waving a gun, and after a good deal of Shavian talk he's persuaded to postpone revolution for a square meal in the kitchen by the kindly matriarch of the household. Before he is diverted, however, he challenges a retired colonial governor to say how he would deal with the New Socialist Man of the future, like himself, who rejects all the conventional rules of the political game. The governor explains matter-of-factly that he would tip off an ambitious policeman that he was a bit of a troublemaker who should be watched and then wait patiently for the policeman to provoke him into a fight and an arrest.
"Why, that's disgraceful," responds the anarchist indignantly. The governor replies that in the game of anarchism the police can always beat the anarchist.
Almost invariably, that is true. Revolutions are the exception, and even they conform to the governor's cynical insight when they succeed, because the police reappear soon after the new order is established, are given greater powers by the new post-anarchist authorities, and arrest the few remaining anarchists. See the history of the early Soviet Union passim.
What we're at present witnessing is the spread of anarchism in the United States and, less violently so far, in the United Kingdom: mobs rushing around, pulling down statues, attacking people they believe to be "racists" (maybe because they're wearing a baseball cap), demanding conformity to their revolutionary slogans, and visibly flouting the authority of governments and local authority. The pulling down of statues—historically known as iconoclasm—is a traditional accompaniment to religious or political revolution that symbolizes the defenestration of one set of rulers and their replacement by a new set.
The role of the police in these events is especially significant. As the guardians of order, supposedly politically impartial, they are expected to restrain and suppress riots and destruction of lives and property. Against these disorders they seem pulled in three different directions Those in Seattle have been instructed by local authorities that are politically sympathetic to the rioters to allow them to establish "no-go" areas outside the law; those in Atlanta may be resigning or simply looking the other way when crimes are committed because they feel the local authorities are making them scapegoats for incidents of law enforcement that went wrong; and those in London seem to have decided on their own initiatives that policing by consent means the consent of the rioters and have accordingly tried to appease them. In all these cases the citizens can no longer rely with confidence on the normal assumption that the police will protect them and their property. Anarchy reigns.
At some point if the anarchy does not lead to an actual revolution, it will either fizzle out or be stopped by police or military force. The 1968 manifestations in Paris were stopped when the Army made it plain it would intervene if necessary, the bourgeois supporters of de Gaulle mounted their own massive manifestations in Paris, and the Gaullists won a landslide in the subsequent elections.
But the spirit of anarchy cannot be confined in a box marked public order. It seeps out into all aspects of our lives—I've mentioned iconoclasm as its symbolic representation in the arts. Jihadists have destroyed "pagan idols," i.e., Buddhist images, in Asia. Feminists in recent years have been imitating the Victorians in putting bras on Greek statues and stockings on piano legs in official settings. And the removal of statues of national heroes such as George Washington, as well as leading abolitionists, on the grounds of "slavery," shows that the real motive force of this particular anarchistic drive is to replace the United States, founded circa 1776, with a new American state.
More important than iconoclasm, however, is antinomianism which is the rejection of all laws, customs, and informal rules in all fields of human behaviour including, significantly, science, law, and morality. Their removal gives the anarchist a thrill of liberation when first antinomianism breaks forth. But since it's in the nature of man that, as Burke said, he must have rules to govern him, and if they don't come from within in the form of customs and practices, they will come from without in the form of politically-imposed new "truths" on the arts and sciences.
Seattle, 2020
It's a two-stage process: first, we liberate ourselves from the old laws that confine our imaginations to what science and experience tell us is true and practicable; second, we replace them with rules that reflect the wishes and interests of the powerful—who are not always politicians and ministers but sometimes in periods of decaying political authority, the mob or its allies. The political mob made its first appearance in Paris during the French revolution, but it has come and gone many times since then, and it's presently most powerful in Seattle and Portland.
Taken together these two stages produce the replacement of professional rules and ethics by political values and authority in all fields. It can be a slow process, especially in science, and it begins modestly, but the final stages often have seasoned professionals accepting new rules they would once have denounced or regarded as simply too absurd to bother denouncing. The old professional rules of American journalism that you followed the truth where it led by examining fairly the claims of all sides in a dispute have collapsed entirely—and that collapse began long before Donald Trump was elected President. It has reached its apogee in the recent decision of the New York Times to publish the deceptive and false 1619 Project not as one account of many historical accounts of the birth of America but as the sole acceptable truth (though it comes to us less from history than from critical race theory which is constructed so as to negate any criticism of its own criteria.) Its principal author has just welcomed the spreading anarchy as a vindication of the Times project, which is now to be taught in American high schools.
Examine now this sinister drift from the rules of scientific truth to the imperatives of political anti-science which we might call the Lysenko Imperative, or "What the Party says is Science is Science":
There is a replication crisis in science. For the last decade it has become an open or grumbling scandal that a very high number of scientific experiments cannot be replicated, which means that the original findings are invalid. Since a great number of findings are not tested for replication in this way, that implies much more uncertainty about scientific findings than we tend to assume. Replications are far lower in psychology (50 per cent) especially social psychology (25 per cent), and in medicine than in other fields. In the last few days, for instance, a study by Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford found that they could not replicate the results in 13 of the 15 studies purporting to support the two-metre distancing rule in SARs and Covid-19 cases and concluded that "poor quality research is being used to justify a policy with enormous consequences for us all."
Much of the writing on both pollution and global warming emphasizes that these problems constitute a crisis or an emergency requiring urgent action to reduce carbon emissions and other "pollutants." Time and again the dates for which catastrophe was confidently predicted have passed without grave occurrences. No apologies have been offered, and no signs given that the forecasters were reconsidering the theories on which their forecasts were based. Like the replication crisis, the prediction crisis is a scientific scandal unless it is seriously addressed. The latest warning of this erosion of scientific standard comes from Professor Ole Humlum, who looks at the empirical observations of climate science (as distinct from computer modelling) and finds that in most respects, including some surprising ones, things are getting better. He points out that new data on rising ocean temperatures raise interesting questions about the source of the heat. "We can detect a great deal of heat rising from the bottom of the oceans. This obviously cannot be anything to do with human activity. So although people say the oceans are warming, in reality there is still much to learn." But that will depend on the willingness of scientists committed to the conventional view of global warming as something driven by human activity to question or moderate their outlook in the light of this disturbingly optimistic evidence.
Where will these trends end up? As is already the case with the social sciences, the future of science could be its transformation into the political hopes of activist groups within the profession committed to views that reject traditional scientific rules as obstructions to their visions. "Feminist science" and "transgender science" both confront traditional biology as a hostile "essentialism" and treat those who disagree more as political enemies than as fellow-scientists. A more radical critique is mounted by those who want to decolonize "white science" (i.e., science) by granting at least equal scientific authority to indigeneous religious world views. A journey around this set of ideas—or "new ways of knowing"-- is conducted by Lenny Pier Ramos in the current Quillette. It is a journey into the past and into pre-modern mind-set. " I pushed this point and asked Dr. Tajmel [a leading proponent of this decolonization] if her project did not, ultimately, amount to the reintroduction of religion in science. She responded, without missing a beat, that science itself was a form of a religion."
Mr. Ramos reflects that given these trends it seems only a matter of time before Science and Nature get on board with that idea. It sounds alarmist but absurd. Yet we would once have thought the same of the "1619 Project" and the New York Times. And that's before the arrival of, first, the mob, and then the new policeman.


Is it accurate to say that you are prepared to buy a vehicle? All things considered, not very quick. Set aside opportunity and think about some essential parts of purchasing a vehicle and also their Good car registration (which is also known as "ทะเบียนรถดี" in the Thai language).
There are five things that you need to consider before purchasing a vehicle.
First interesting point, is your financial plan. Do you have the stuff to buy those games autos that you are finding in TV ads? On the off chance that you get one of those, will regardless you have sustenance to eat and react to the monetary obligations that you need to meet after?
Second thought is the motivation behind purchasing. Wonder why are you purchasing another vehicle? Or then again a second-hand vehicle? Do you need to buy a fresh out of the plastic new vehicle to meet this reason or can you settle with somewhat utilized autos?
Third thought is the sort of vehicle that you are wanting to buy. Another tip is considering a vehicle that can spare more fuel than the standard vehicle. Ensure that the vehicle has enough wellbeing highlights.
Fourth thought is identified with thought number 3. While picking a vehicle, ensure that it would not devalue promotion disintegrate that a lot following five years or more.
Last thought is your general preparation and readiness to have a vehicle. Inquire on whether you are prepared to have this vehicle. Have you quite recently been compelled by the tradition of society or this is for common sense purposes?
Having a vehicle requires a certain level of development. This is a speculation and a choice that you need to live with for a long time to come.

title: IoT data analytics using Apache Spark, Kafka and Thingsboard
description: IoT device data analytics sample using Apache Spark, Kafka and Thingsboard

---

* TOC
{:toc}

Thingsboard rule engine supports basic analysis of incoming telemetry data, for example, threshold crossing.
The idea behind rule engine is to provide functionality to route data from IoT Devices to different plugins, based on device attributes or the data itself.

However, most of the real-life use cases also require support of advanced analytics: machine learning, predictive analytics, etc.

This tutorial will demonstrate how you can:

 - route telemetry device data from Thingsboard to Kafka topic using built-in plugin.
 - aggregate data from multiple devices using simple Apache Spark application.
 - push results of the analytics back to Thingsboard for persistence and visualization.

Of course, analytics in this tutorial is quite simple, our goal is to highlight the integration steps.

### Overview

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/spark-thingsboard-integration.svg)

Let's assume we have big amount of weather stations that are located in different geo-location zones.
Thingsboard is used to collect, store and visualize wind speed from this stations, but we are also interested in average wind speed in each geo-location zone.
Once again, this is completely fake scenario just to demonstrate the integration of all components.

In this scenario we are going to upload wind speed as a telemetry reading, however, the geo-location zone will be a static attribute of the weather station device.
This is logical, since telemetry readings are going to change often, and the geo-location is static.

We will analyze real-time data from multiple devices using [Spark Streaming](http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-programming-guide.html) job with 10 seconds batch window.

In order to store and visualize results of the analytics we are going to create one virtual device for each geo-location zone.
This is possible using special Thingsboard MQTT Gateway [API](/docs/reference/gateway-mqtt-api/). This API allows to efficiently stream data from multiple devices using single MQTT session.
So, in our case, the Spark Job itself acts as a gateway that publish data on behalf of several virtual devices. Let's name this gateway as an **Analytics Gateway**.

### Prerequisites

We assume you have Thingsboard [instance](/docs/user-guide/install/installation-options/) is up and running.
We also assume you are familiar with Kafka and Spark and have also prepared those environments for this tutorial.

### Thingsboard configuration steps

### Step 1. Configuration of Kafka Plugin

We need to configure Kafka Plugin that will be used to push telemetry data to Kafka.
You can find detail description of Kafka Plugin [here](/docs/reference/plugins/kafka/).

[**Download**](/docs/samples/analytics/resources/kafka_plugin_for_spark_streaming_sample.json) the json with plugin descriptor
and use this [**instructions**](/docs/user-guide/ui/plugins/#plugin-import) to import it to your instance.

Please note that the plugin configuration expects Kafka to be running on the localhost with port 9092.

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/kafka-plugin-configuration.png)

Don't forget to **activate** your new plugin instance by clicking on corresponding button in plugin details!

### Step 2. Configuration of Telemetry Forwarding Rule

Now we need to configure the Rule that will be used to push wind speed data from the weather stations to Kafka.

[**Download**](/docs/samples/analytics/resources/windspeed_telemetry_rule.json) the json with plugin descriptor
and use this [**instructions**](/docs/user-guide/ui/rules/#rule-import) to import it to your instance.

Don't forget to **activate** your new rule instance by clicking on corresponding button in plugin details!

Let's review main rule configuration below.

##### Attributes filter

Thingsboard may process data from completely different devices. We will use filter by device attributes in order to filter out data that belongs to Weather Station devices.

The filter expression below validates that two attributes are set for particular device: **deviceType** and **geoZone**.
You may notice that we check that **deviceType** is equal to "WeatherStation". The **cs** variable is a map that contains all client-side attributes.
See corresponding [**filter**](/docs/reference/filters/device-attributes-filter/) documentation for more details.

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/kafka-rule-attributes.png)

##### Timeseries data filter

Each device connected to Thingsboard may upload multiple telemetry keys simultaneously on independently.
In some use cases you may need to process only certain sub-set of the data. We will use telemetry data filter to achieve this.

The filter expression below validates that **windSpeed** telemetry is present in the processed message.

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/kafka-rule-timeseries.png)

See corresponding [**filter**](/docs/reference/filters/device-telemetry-filter/) documentation for more details.

##### Kafka plugin action

Topic name in our case is **'weather-stations-data'** and the message is a valid JSON that uses client-side attribute **geoZone** and **windSpeed** telemetry value:

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/kafka-rule-action.png)

### Step 3. Configuration of the Analytics Gateway device

Let's create device that we define 'Analytics Gateway' and we'll send average temperature from Spark Application to this device:

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/gateway-device.png)

Once added, open the 'Analytics Gateway' device card and click on copy 'Access Token' from this device and store it somewhere.

![image](/images/samples/analytics/spark/gateway-device-details.png)

We'll use this token later in Spark Application for sending analytics results back to Thingsboard and will refer to it as **$GATEWAY_ACCESS_TOKEN**.

## Spark Application

### Step 4. Download the sample application source code

Feel free to grab the [code from this sample Thingsboard repository](https://github.com/thingsboard/samples/tree/master/spark-kafka-streaming-integration) and follow along.

### Step 5. Dependencies review

Sample application was developed using Spark version **2.1.0**. Please consider this if you'll use different version of Spark because in this case you may need to use different version of Kafka Streaming API.

Dependencies that are used in sample project:

```xml
<!-- Spark, Spark Streaming and Kafka Dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-core_2.11</artifactId>
    <version>${spark-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-streaming_2.11</artifactId>
    <version>${spark-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-streaming-kafka-0-10_2.11</artifactId>
    <version>${spark-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- MQTT client dependency to send messages to Thingsboard -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.paho</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3</artifactId>
    <version>${paho.client.version}</version>
</dependency>
```

### Step 5. Source code review

Here is a description of particular code snippet from **SparkKafkaStreamingDemoMain** class.
Main constants are listed below:

```java
// Access token for 'Analytics Gateway' Device.
private static final String GATEWAY_ACCESS_TOKEN = "$GATEWAY_ACCESS_TOKEN";
// Kafka brokers URL for Spark Streaming to connect and fetched messages from.
private static final String KAFKA_BROKER_LIST = "localhost:9092";
// URL of Thingsboard MQTT endpoint
private static final String THINGSBOARD_MQTT_ENDPOINT = "tcp://localhost:1883";
// Time interval in milliseconds of Spark Streaming Job, 10 seconds by default.
private static final int STREAM_WINDOW_MILLISECONDS = 10000; // 10 seconds
// Kafka telemetry topic to subscribe to. This should match to the topic in the rule action.
private static final Collection<String> TOPICS = Arrays.asList("weather-stations-data");
```

Main processing logic is listed below:

```java

try (JavaStreamingContext ssc = new JavaStreamingContext(conf, new Duration(STREAM_WINDOW_MILLISECONDS))) {

    connectToThingsboard();

    JavaInputDStream<ConsumerRecord<String, String>> stream =
            KafkaUtils.createDirectStream(
                    ssc,
                    LocationStrategies.PreferConsistent(),
                    ConsumerStrategies.<String, String>Subscribe(TOPICS, getKafkaParams())
            );

    stream.foreachRDD(rdd ->
    {
        // Map incoming JSON to WindSpeedData objects
        JavaRDD<WindSpeedData> windRdd = rdd.map(new WeatherStationDataMapper());
        // Map WindSpeedData objects by GeoZone
        JavaPairRDD<String, AvgWindSpeedData> windByZoneRdd = windRdd.mapToPair(d -> new Tuple2<>(d.getGeoZone(), new AvgWindSpeedData(d.getWindSpeed())));
        // Reduce all data volume by GeoZone key
        windByZoneRdd = windByZoneRdd.reduceByKey((a, b) -> AvgWindSpeedData.sum(a, b));
        // Map <GeoZone, AvgWindSpeedData> back to WindSpeedData
        List<WindSpeedData> aggData = windByZoneRdd.map(t -> new WindSpeedData(t._1, t._2.getAvgValue())).collect();
        // Push aggregated data to Thingsboard using Gateway MQTT API
        publishTelemetryToThingsboard(aggData);
    });

    ssc.start();
    ssc.awaitTermination();
}
```

Following method is responsbile for publishing the telemetry data:

```java
private void publishTelemetryToThingsboard(List<WindSpeedData> aggData) throws Exception {
    if (!aggData.isEmpty()) {
        for (WindSpeedData d : aggData) {
            MqttMessage connectMsg = new MqttMessage(toConnectJson(d.getGeoZone()).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
            client.publish("v1/gateway/connect", connectMsg, null, getCallback());
        }
        MqttMessage dataMsg = new MqttMessage(toDataJson(aggData).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        client.publish("v1/gateway/telemetry", dataMsg, null, getCallback());
    }
}
```

Now let's run **SparkKafkaStreamingDemoMain** class from the IDE or submit it to Spark cluster. Sample app will be fetching all the messages from Kafka topic and send average temperature telemetry to appropriate **'Average Temperature Device'** in *Thingsboard*.

## Dry Run

Once *Kafka Plugin* is configured, *'Analytics Gateway device'* is provisioned and *Spark Streaming Application* is running please start sending **windSpeed** telemetry from different devices.

The following command will provision **deviceType** and **geoZone** attributes. You may change zone to different values for different devices.

```bash
mosquitto_pub -d -h "localhost" -p 1883 -t "v1/devices/me/attributes" -u "$YOUR_DEVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN" -m '{"deviceType":"WeatherStation", "geoZone":"Zone A"}'
```

The following command will report **windSpeed** telemetry for particular device.

```bash
mosquitto_pub -d -h "localhost" -p 1883 -t "v1/devices/me/telemetry" -u "$YOUR_DEVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN" -m '{"windSpeed":42}'
```

Once you sent the telemetry data to Thingsboard, wait up to 10 seconds for new device that identifies your **geoZone** to become available.

The Department of Health and Social Care and Department for Education (2018) response following consultation on the Transforming Children and Young People's Mental Health Provision green paper suggests piloting NHS mental health support workers to provide interventions for children and young people with mild-to-moderate mental health issues in schools and further education colleges.
The 25 pilot areas across England are starting to train the staff to fill these posts. It is proposed that each team will consist of 7.5 whole-time-equivalent mental health support workers, each covering a population of about 8,000 children and young people, or around 20 schools.
While the staff are being trained on the year-long course, they will be funded at band 4 and once in post they will be paid on band 5. This new service in the first pilot will reach a limited number of children and will take at least another five years to roll out across the country.
Children and young people's mental health welfare rates have dropped considerably. The Children's Society (Gee 2018) cites that one in ten children between five and 16 years has a diagnosable mental health condition, and this is a big pressure on schools, but I question if training a new workforce is the answer to this increasing problem.
If we invested more training and money into school nursing, we wouldn't need to spend money on new roles, such as mental health support workers.
Since 2010, the number of school nurses has decreased by 23% (Royal College of Nursing 2018), and is set to continue decreasing with the squeeze on public health budgets.
School nurses are trusted healthcare professionals who already work with schools. The money for the new mental health support workers could have been put into school nursing to allow them to do the role they are trained for, which is supporting the health needs, including mental health, of the school-age population.
If the number of school nurses was at the level it should be, school nurses could work with child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHs) to provide clear pathways for appropriate interventions by the school nurse or CAMHs staff.
The school nurse would be able to look at the child and young person's health needs and, as qualified nurses with a specialist practitioner degree in public health, they have the skills and trust of children and young people to work with them.

We've all heard the term "Big Data" thrown around a fair amount in the last several years ever since the rise of Hadoop and other distributed storage methods. But defining "Big Data" has always been a subjective term that hinges on perspective; what one engineer considers big can be vastly different than another's.
We made a very significant announcement last week, of a collaboration with one of the most (if not the most) security sensitive institutions on earth, the United States government's National Security Agency. They've joined the burgeoning OpenSolaris community, to collaborate with Sun and other community members on the future of ultra-secure operating systems.

Sapphire prices vary greatly, depending on the gemstone's quality, size and colour. We believe that aesthetics is more important than the stone's features and that the clients' preferences should outweigh the class of the stone. However, there are still a few characteristics you may need to understand before purchasing sapphire engagement rings and wedding jewellery.
Blue Sapphires come in a wide array of shades, from delicate to velvety royal blue. The gem's colour is its most crucial feature and it's affected by three elements: hue, saturation and tone. Saturation is the most important component and refers to the amount of colour in the stone. Too much of it can cause the sapphire too look dark and too little makes the gem appear faded, so ideal saturation would rest between moderate and strong. Bear in mind that the blacker the colour, the lower the quality. Before purchasing, make sure the colour is equally distributed, unless if you are actually searching for a two-toned stone.
The gemstone's appearance is solely affected by its origins and composition. Since each stone is unique, there aren't any set measurements for ideal gemstone cut to enhance colour and beauty. When searching for a well-cut sapphire, opt for symmetrical stones with shape and size that suit the purpose and your tastes.
The Blue Sapphire carat depends on the stone's density, which rests on the gem's origins and mineral structure. Our experts suggest to focus on the overall appearance, measurements and shape instead of the stone carat. Sapphires are denser and therefore heavier than diamonds, so a one carat sapphire would look smaller than a one carat diamond with the exact same cut and measurements.
High clarity grade gemstones are extremely rare. Almost every natural sapphire has imperfections, however they may be desirable and benefit the stone's colour and appearance by adding various nuances and secondary colours. The only flaw to avoid is inclusions, however they are insignificant as long as they remain invisible to the unarmed eye.
Chemically and physically, synthetic and natural sapphires are identical, however natural sapphires come at higher prices. They could be hard to distinguish from each other, even for trained gemmologists.
To discover the perfect blue sapphire, visit one of our stores or consult our specialists online. Steven Stone can source any stone to match your requirements, within your budget frame. For more information or to browse our selection of Sapphire engagement rings and jewellery, visit our website.

once you attend. When you buy pieces that you will start using a lot, like a couch or sleep, be sure it's comfy. You spend considerable time in bed and on your couch, therefore make sure you buy something that you can lower, raise on for a long time comfortably. Figure out what you wish from a sofa before you actually head to purchase one. If you would like a firm sofa, it could be wise to get one with traditional coiled springs. If you are looking for a softer sofa, make sure to get one that has zigzag coils. When picking new furniture, do not hesitate to be able to haggle for a better price. Lots of people think of furniture prices as being set, but this is not the case at several stores. Many people are willing to give you a far better deal as long as they think it is realistic.

With any luck, the details presented above has changed all that to suit your needs, and you are now prepared to hit the shops with new confidence.


The 4th of July is a fun holiday for us humans, but for dogs, it means loud fireworks, weird (and tempting) smells, and an above average amount of commotion around the neighborhood. You might not think twice about it, but even if you don't have a normally anxious dog, it's a good idea to take a few extra precautions on the holiday to keep your dog calm, cool, and collected.
Where will your dog be at the firework shows? It is ideal to create a location where the commotion is minimal. Make sure someone is home keep an eye on your dog, as running away and hiding is common.
If you are using anything to calm your dog during the main event, it is best to introduce it early on. If you introduce after your pup is already high anxiety, it may be less effective.
Take your dog on a long walk or hike earlier in the day so they don't have excess energy or excitement when the evening rolls around.
As soon as those fireworks start popping, act completely normal around your dog, like any other night. They will feed off your energy.
Play some fun or relaxing music inside the house to keep your dog distracted and calm. TV works too!

Volkswagen delivers five per cent more commercial vehicles worldwide in April '15
12.5.15 Unknown No comments
Growth in deliveries by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is carried forward in April as well. Especially in Western Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the figures continue to be positive in terms of steady growth.
"We are delighted we were able to tie in with the excellent
results in the first quarter and are going full speed ahead to carry forward this trend with the upcoming model changes," said Bram Schot, Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
In the key region of Western Europe, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles was able to boost sales figures by 5.5 per cent in terms of deliveries in the month of April. A total of 26,800 vehicles were delivered of the T5, Caddy, Amarok and Crafter model series. Year-on-year, the previous year's figures, especially in the markets of Italy (+16.7 per cent), United Kingdom (+13.3 per cent) and Spain (+12 per cent), could be significantly outperformed.
The Middle East region also recorded an extraordinarily successful April: 3,200 vehicles sold mean an increase of 52.2 per cent here. Especially Turkey, with a growth of over 50 per cent, contributed to this great result. The region of Africa with 1,400 vehicles delivered could surpass the previous year's result (+12.3 per cent); with 1,600 vehicles delivered, Asia/Pacific could outdo deliveries in the same month of the previous year by 0.8 per cent.
The regions South America and Eastern Europe continued to suffer from the difficult economic conditions there. Particularly the declining numbers in Russia (-58.1 per cent) were definitely in evidence. The Eastern Europe region posted 2,700 delivered vehicles in April, a decrease of 19.8 per cent. In South America, the number of deliveries dropped to 3,100 vehicles. Thus the region, despite a positive outcome in Argentina (1,600 vehicles; +33.8 per cent), was in total 4.1 per cent below the level of the same month last year.

Changes to Texas DWI Laws
The state of Texas has changed the way it deals with DWI (driving while intoxicated) cases. Because of a new law that took effect in September 2019, first-time DWI offenders now have the option to have their charges deferred.
Deferred adjudication – a plea deal where a defendant pleads "guilty" or "no contest" and is put on probation – was available to people in Texas for DWI offenses until 1984. When the law changed in 1984, prosecutors lost the ability to be flexible when dealing with DWI cases, leading to a huge backlog of cases.
Now that the Texas 86th legislative session has passed the bill that changes how DWIs are handled for first-time offenders, the opportunity to have the charge deferred is back. However, the judge can defer the finding of guilt and put an offender on community supervision or probation. This is unlike a typical deferred adjudication where, if an offender completes it, it is not a conviction, and it is removed from their record.
Fifth Time's the Charm
This was the fifth time a bill to defer a DWI had been presented. In the past, prosecutors would often "charge bargain," which meant a DWI would be changed to another charge of equal penalty and wouldn't carry the same weight on the individual's record. This would prove beneficial to a person hoping to become a teacher or join the military, for instance, as a DWI conviction may prevent them from doing so.
For years, Texas lawmakers were not able to pass legislation that allowed the option to defer a DWI in part of because of activist groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
Nacogdoches County Attorney John Fleming told KETK-TV in Austin: "The balance that was struck between MADD and other players at the table is that deferred adjudication DWI, if someone qualifies for it and receives that, in the event that they pick up a second DWI, that first DWI they got deferred for, which in theory allows for a conviction to be off someone's record, it can be used to enhance that second DWI. In other words, you can resurrect it and that's the beauty of this law and that's probably how they struck the compromise to get it passed."
Some analysts argue that the new law is beneficial to first-time DWI offenders because it gives them a second chance.
Judge Bob Inselmann of Angelina County 217th District told KETK-TV: "Driving while intoxicated is a serious offense. However, there are circumstances where the state can have a wide range of punishment for that DWI."
Inselmann said that he has seen both repeat offenders and one-time offenders.
"Those are the people you really want to look at, first-time offender, maybe somebody who made a mistake in college or somebody who's older than that who may have gone to a wedding and done something stupid. If they do everything right then it will go away. In other words, it will be off their record," Inselmann said.
Surcharges Repealed
Another often-criticized aspect of Texas' Driver Responsibility Program were the additional annual fees (or surcharges) on top of the cost of the tickets that ranged from $100-$2000, depending on the offense. People would often have their licenses suspended if they failed to pay or did not establish a payment plan within a specific amount of time.
According to the Texas Tribune, the surcharges (often on years-old tickets) grew to thousands of dollars and left many people without a drivers' license for more than a decade, in some instances. This often led to what officials called a harmful "cycle of debt," in which individuals without a drivers' license would have trouble getting to work and earning the money necessary to pay these surcharges.
For DWI offenders, these surcharges could be financially crippling. A first time offense would typically result in surcharges of $3,000 and subsequent offenses would incur a $4,500 fee. Also, any driver who was apprehended with a blood alcohol level of above .15% would incur a $6,000 fee.
With the new law going into effect, the surcharges will be lifted and wiped from the driver's record, even for a DWI. Individuals who had their drivers' licenses suspended due to failure to pay the surcharges will see their licenses reinstated.
While the surcharges have been lifted, individuals who are convicted of driving while intoxicated will be forced to pay heavier fines, as of September 1, 2019. These fines include:
$3,000 for the first DWI in a 36-month time period (an increase from $2,000 prior to the new law)
$4,500 for any subsequent DWI in a 36-month period (an increase from $4,000)
$6,000 for a DWI if the driver's BAC was above .15%
These fines are a set amount, and not a range. So, for example, a second offense will not be charged "up to $4,500" but will require the full payment of $4,500.
Ignition Interlock Systems are Key
When a DWI offender's charge is deferred, they will be put on probation and will be required to use an ignition interlock system. This system prevents an individual from starting their vehicle without first blowing into a breathalyzer. If they blow a .03 or higher the car will not start.
Scott Harrison, the director of MADD East Texas, told KETK that the new law gives prosecutors another tool in their toolbox in the fight against drunk driving, adding that ignition interlocks are more effective than license suspension. Ignition interlocks have stopped 309,597 ignition starts over a 12-year period from 2006 to 2018, according to MADD.
What is a DWI?
In Texas, a DWI is an offense of operating a vehicle if the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above the legal limit. To legally operate a motor vehicle in Texas, your BAC cannot be above .08. Punishments for DWI include but are not limited to:
Fines up to $2,000 criminal charges
Incarceration for up to 180 days (for first-time offenders

Implementing and using viral load testing : practical tools

They have chosen molecular biology to fight HIV in their countries
The faces behind viral load testing access in Burundi, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, and Guinea
After 6 years of working with the OPP-ERA project to improve access to HIV viral load testing in Burundi, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea, we met the laboratory technicians and biologists involved in the project to discuss their work and experiences.
Coming from 4 different countries and contexts, they share a common vision: to be at the service of patients. Viral load is an essential element in ensuring the effectiveness of treatment for people living with HIV, reducing contamination and mortality: "It is important to remember that behind each result, there is a patient in need. There is no room for error"
By joining the OPP-ERA project, their professional lives changed, their careers have evolved with more training, more responsibility and more involvement in the fight against HIV in their respective countries. "I discovered viral load testing in 2008, theoretically during a DU in biological retrovirology. By joining the OPP-ERA project in 2014, I discovered viral load in practice this time. In Guinea, HIV viral load testing was not yet in public laboratories."
Today, at the end of the OPP-ERA project, they are proud to be referees on HIV viral load in their country and ready to ensure its sustainability: "As a laboratory technician, my role is to continue to realize viral load tests, to train others and thus to contribute to reaching the 3rd 90 in Burundi".
Find here their photo portrays and interviews. The photos were taken in Paris, during a training course, on July 4, by the journalist photographer @Sara Farid who works in collaboration with MAPS agency.

Iowa Town Settles Orthodox Landlord's Discrimination Suit
By Josh Nathan-Kazis September 9, 2011
The city of Postville, Iowa, has settled a lawsuit charging it with discrimination against an Orthodox Jewish landlord who housed undocumented workers employed by the former Agriprocessors kosher slaughterhouse.
The city and several local officials have agreed to pay Gabay Menahem $450,000 and to hold a community workshop on diversity issues; however, they have not admitted to Menahem's allegations of bias and civil rights violations against him. The settlement, approved by a federal court on August 25, concludes two suits Menahem, 38, filed concurrently in state and federal courts.
The majority of Menahem's tenants left town in May 2008, when a massive federal immigration raid led to the arrest of hundreds of undocumented Agriprocessors employees. Menahem charged in his suit that city officials repeatedly refused to shut off the water to his apartments, which were left vacant after the raid, and eventually banks repossessed his properties.
Despite his apparent vindication, some members of the Postville Lubavitch Hasidic community that grew up around the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant were skeptical of the discrimination claims made by Menahem, who is a Lubavitcher.
"I have not felt overt anti-Semitism from this city," said Aaron Goldsmith, a member of the Postville Lubavitch community and a former member of the Postville City Council. "I do believe there was confusion with Gabay's extremely aggressive business practices, and it was very easy for the attorneys to turn it into anti-Semitism when he was a very complicated and difficult person to work with."
The city of Postville was thrown into turmoil on May 12, 2008, when federal law enforcement agencies raided the Agriprocessors kosher slaughterhouse — the country's largest — arresting 400 immigrant workers in what was then the biggest immigration raid in American history. Hundreds of town residents were jailed and later deported, and the meatpacking firm eventually filed for bankruptcy. Menahem's tenants were suddenly gone. But despite his repeated requests, the municipality continued to provide his properties with water and continued to bill him.
"Given the notoriety surrounding him and the public nature of the dispute, and the fact he was going to the City Council all the time to complain about it…. you begin to think that there's more to it than just accidental coincidence that it's not getting fixed," said David H. Goldman, one of Menahem's attorneys.
Menahem's suits do not allege widespread anti-Semitism throughout Postville's city government. But the federal suit he filed argues that there was "a pocket of abuse, discrimination, and lack of understanding that caused direct harm to Menahem, his family, and his business."
In a surreptitiously recorded video provided to the Forward by Menahem and cited in the complaints, Virginia Medberry, a member of the Postville City Council and a defendant in the case, advises a woman presenting herself as a prospective renter not to do business with Menahem, whom she calls a "shyster."
Medberry could not be reached for comment.
The defendants in the case denied Menahem's allegations. Defense attorney Cynthia Scherrman Sueppel emphasized that Postville denied liability, but would not comment further. Postville City Clerk Darcy Radloff wrote in an e-mail that she would be unavailable for comment, and Jeff Reinhardt, a former City Council member who was also named as a defendant, could not be reached.
A former Lubavitch shaliach, or emissary, in Nebraska, the Israeli-born Menahem moved to Postville following an accident that left him with a permanent limp. Sholom Rubashkin, the CEO of Agriprocessors, helped support him when he first arrived in town.
Rubashkin is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence after being convicted of bank fraud in connection with his operation of the Agriprocessors plant. He is the only senior Agriprocessors official to face jail time.
When Menahem began purchasing properties in the city in 2004, Rubashkin helped advise him. Menahem bought out a competitor in March 2008, and his firm, Gal Investments, became one of the two largest landlords in Postville. The only landlord of a comparable size was a firm controlled by Rubashkin.
By September 2008, Gal Investments owned 59 properties worth $5.2 million in the small Iowa town, according to a report published at the time in the Des Moines Register.
Menahem said that he lost 80% of his tenants in the aftermath of the raid. Faced with this crisis while carrying two hefty mortgages, he cut a deal with his creditors that allowed him to postpone all payments so long as he maintained the properties, kept them free of liens and paid all property taxes.
As Agriprocessors scrambled to replace the arrested workers, new residents arrived in town to fill the empty real estate. But Menahem came under scrutiny almost immediately. He made deals with staffing firms hired to bring replacement workers to the meatpacking plant, under which the staffing firms paid rents by garnishing employees' wages.
The September 2008 Des Moines Register report described problems with Menahem's upkeep of his properties. One of his apartments had a "large hole in the living-room wall," according to the report.
Menahem said that he had purchased the properties with problems months earlier, that they were being refurbished and that the condition of the properties had received no publicity when his competitor owned them.
One of Menahem's lenders repossessed a portion of his properties in June 2009, after liens were placed on the buildings because of Menahem's failure to pay tens of thousands of dollars in water bills. The rest of his properties were repossessed in December 2009.
According to Menahem, the city officials were "trying to do everything in their power to make me look bad. Eventually the lenders stopped lending me money…. When somebody sabotages your relationship with your lenders, that's what happens."
Goldsmith, the local Lubavitcher, agreed with Menahem's criticism of the statement made by Medberry, the city council member. But he blamed incompetence rather than anti-Semitism for the failure by town officials to shut off water to Menahem's apartments, as he had requested.
"After the raid it was mass chaos," Goldsmith said. "There were people abandoning properties right and left. I think they were incompetent in dealing with a lot of those challenges."
Menahem is now planning a fresh start. He has moved to Florida, and said that he will use the settlement funds to launch a real estate firm there. "They're more familiar with Jewish faces," Menahem said of Floridians.
