Asian stock markets are broadly lower on Wednesday despite the overnight gains on Wall Street as worries about escalating trade tensions been the world's two largest economies weighed on sentiment. Investors digested news that China is seeking the World Trade Organization's permission to impose trade sanctions on the U.S. Crude oil prices rose more than 1 percent in Asian trades after gaining more than 2 percent overnight.
The Japanese market slipped into negative territory after opening higher following the positive cues from Wall Street.

The trade woes pulled China's yuan down for the fourth day in onshore trade, weakening to a 2-1/2-week low of 6.88 per dollar.
MSCI's emerging markets currency index retreated to its lowest since May 2017 on Tuesday, although some observers expect the downturn in these currencies to eventually slow.

Learning to love the "inner child". A professional task
By Christoph Hueck, November 2017
Experiences we keep having, recurring feelings that weigh us down can frequently be ascribed to events which can be resolved. To this end the so-called "work with the inner child" is an effective psychotherapeutic method.

Childhood patterns
A young teacher, not yet long at the school, had agreed to take responsibility for organising a school event and invested a considerable amount of time in doing so. At the last teachers' meeting before the event he was absent due to illness. His fellow teachers went through the programme and noticed that no moderator had been named. Since there were other urgent items on the agenda, the problem was quickly dealt with and a volunteer was found.
Unfortunately, no one thought of telling their ill colleague. When he finally learned about it, he was disappointed as he had prepared to take on that role. In a part of his soul he had envisioned himself standing on the stage and receiving recognition for his commitment. This prospect had motivated him to work particularly hard.
Let us further assume that this touched on a theme that related to the whole of his life. In childhood, his father had paid little attention to him, hardly praised him but criticised him a lot. For the soul of the small boy that was a recurring hurt. The need of the child to be seen, recognised and lovingly supported kept being disappointed. And the soul took the only way out it had in that it gradually desensitised itself to this childhood pain, repressing it into a dark corner. Although such repression was a reasonable thing for the child to do, perhaps even essential for his survival, the inner hurt remained unconsciously alive in the adult and was "remembered" in similar situations in the present and reactivated.
Repression, protection and projection
Many people carry such repressed childhood hurt within themselves. It was unbearable at the time – and still feels like that. The difference is that the outer cause no longer exists and we would have quite different possibilities as adults to deal with it. In anthroposophical terms, such experiences continue to live as a disposition in the etheric body.
The problem starts where we do not want to experience such feelings and moods. We repress them and seek to protect ourselves against them through compensatory action. The great commitment of our teacher is a defence mechanism to escape the latent feeling of his worthlessness.
There are many different behaviours by means of which we seek to escape the bad feelings of the past: brooding a lot, talking a lot, distracting ourselves, always wanting to help others, wanting everything to be perfect, blaming others, constantly making plans, seeing problems everywhere, functioning, always being in a good mood, being distanced, being superficial, being very judgemental, creating false harmony, withdrawing, rationalising, always complaining … All these things take us away from our centre. We lose contact with ourselves.
Repression may protect us but it also consumes a huge amount of life energy which would otherwise be freely and positively available. But for as long as the unconscious fear of our feelings is greater than the impairment of our joy and strength in life through such repression, many will hold on to this protective mechanism.
After all, allowing these feelings to come to the surface means exposing ourselves once more to the often life-threatening impotence, the pain and shame which the child experienced. The knowledge that our parents caused us suffering can also be difficult to bear. Maintaining a positive image of our parents is a protective mechanism.
The final step in this cascade of inner need is the projection on to others. For our teacher it is easy to place the blame for his hurt on to his colleagues. Had they not been so inattentive and allowed him to be the moderator, then everything would have been wonderful. Or would it …?
A way to the "shadow child"
In the psychotherapeutic literature these latent negative childhood patterns are described as the "hurt inner child" or the "shadow child". It is a neglected and repressed part of our own personality. If we want to help it, we first of all have to become acquainted with it. I will briefly outline a simple way – described in greater detail by Stefanie Stahl.
Take a sheet of paper and draw a child in the middle: that is yourself. Now write at the top on the one side Mum and on the other Dad (or whoever were your attachment figures) and below that the way in which these adults behaved in situations which were difficult for you. For example, Mum "was stressed, sad, irritated"; Dad "was absent, was not interested in me, criticised me". The purpose is not to criticise the parents, who might have been unable to act differently at the time, but to learn to feel the hurt inner child.
Then write into the shape of the child how you yourself felt in such a situation. Try here too to be honest and empathetic. Pay particular attention to the physical reactions which arise in you when you recall such situations; for example, a weight on your shoulders, constriction in the throat, shortage of breath, a feeling of contraction in the stomach, rising anger, sadness …
The recall of these feelings should be alive but not overwhelming. It is important to be present with your adult I. This is possible, for example, by creating an image of you yourself as an adult placing yourself next to the hurt child which you where at the time and taking loving care of them.
Such pictorial consideration also helps to let go of the negative feelings again. You can carry out this method for yourself and achieve a great deal with it. If, however, certain problems can still not be resolved, proper therapy can also be helpful.
Awakening the "sun child"
When you have reached this stage, there are two further steps which round off the process at this point.
Most people have certain, not fully conscious convictions about themselves which can be expressed in short sentences, so called "beliefs" which were formed out of their childhood experiences. For example: "I'm not worth anything", "No one wants me", "I can't do anything", "It's my fault" …
It might also be rules of behaviour: "I can endure that", "I'd better be quiet", "I have to manage it on my own", "I'm responsible for your mood", "If I'm not in control everything will go wrong" …
The task now is to find the three most important beliefs which were formed out of your childhood experience. Not what the adults said to you but the conviction you reached yourself. Formulate these sentences in writing in brief I-form. What feelings do you have when you consciously say such a sentence to yourself? Where in your body do you feel anything, what does this sentence do to you? Create space for such feelings – because in this way you are creating space for the repressed child in you.
When you have undertaken and concluded this step for yourself, for example by consciously letting go of the negative feelings again, turn the belief round into a positive, for example: "I am worth something", "I am wanted", "I am allowed to express my opinion", "I can let go", "I am not responsible for your mood".
Now sense inside yourself again to experience what this positive sentence physically feels like. Imagine your parents had said these words to you. Give a lot of space to this feeling as well, inhale it deeply, as it were. It is the way that the healthy, the free and happy sun child in you feels or would feel if it lived in you to a greater extent.
Many people cast doubt on such positive affirmation; they are fixated on their negative beliefs because they originate in their real childhood experiences. But we do not diminish our own experiences in any way, we do not deny them, but to begin with fetch the hurt child out of their shadow existence and then add an adult, positive perspective. The latter mostly corresponds much more to present reality.
For as long as we, as teachers and pre-school teachers, repress our own hurt, the inner child with its shadow existence will keep driving us towards problematic feelings and actions. If we awaken the sun child in us we do not deny anything, do not deceive ourselves, do not do an injustice to anyone and do not neglect our tasks. The only thing that changes is that we change, become contented, and thus transform our life and the world. For teachers and pre-school teachers embracing the hurt inner child and awakening the sun child is a professional task.

Q: How can I get a Session in Meteor to display in a separate window? I'm a Meteor newbie. In my client.js file I have:
if(Meteor.isClient) {
Template.infooutput.output = function() {
return Session.get("info"); }

I have a template:
<template name="infooutput">
{{output}}
</template>

and then in my main page
<body>
{{>infooutput}}
</body>

Now through console, if I set the Session.set("info", "hello")
I see on the screen, "hello". So that works fine however if I open another browser tab, with the same page open, I don't see the "hello". Is this update functionality only possible with use of a collection? Also, I'm a little confused about the purpose of a Session. Can you tell me why it might be used? Am I able to have current session updates shown in multiple browsers (other users viewing) without saving to my collection db?
If so, how might I do it?

A: Session data are isolated to the current browser instance (including tabs) - so opening a new tab will give you a clean state. Session variables are designed to be a programmer-controlled means to create reactivity on an individual client. They are one of several reactive data sources which can trigger client UI updates.
Meteor is designed to sync data with the client via collections, however there are other techniques that have been developed by community members. Most notably streams.
It's also worth noting, that the server can publish documents to the client which are not necessarily represented in the database. Please see this answer for more details.

JAMAICA | AG Malahoo-Forte differs with Gov't on NIDS Judgement
Published in Justice
Featured Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte is not in agreement with the government's decision not to appeal the Constitutional Court ruling on the controversial National Identification and Registration Act.
KINGSTON, June 25, 2019 - Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte differed sharply with the Cabinet on Tuesday, as she told the Parliament she was not in agreement with the government's decision not to appeal the Constitutional Court ruling on the controversial National Identification and Registration Act.
On April 12, the court ruled that the law to set up the National Identification system (NIDS) was unconstitutional and therefore null and void.
But on Tuesday afternoon, Mrs Malahoo Forte, who represented the government in the case, told the House of Representatives that many questions remain unanswered in relation to the case.
The Attorney General pointed out that "the Supreme Court does not have the final say on Jamaican law," and suggested the matter should have gone to appeal.
"There are many curious aspects of the judgment that, to my mind, should properly be reviewed by the higher courts, and I just cite by example, a judge relying on so called expert evidence, not lrd in a case on which he maked findings of fact, without submission, and I could cite other things, But since the government has taken the policy decision not to appeal, I will say no more at this time," she declared.
Justice Minister Delroy Chuck has said instructions have been issued for the drafting of a new bill. He said the new bill should be tabled in parliament by September with the intention of having it passed by November.
In the meantime, Parliamentary Secretary, Senator Robert Morgan, says the Government will continue consultations and education about the benefits of the National Identification System (NIDS).
"There's no law for NIDS now, but there's still a policy and the obligation of the Government is to continue to advise people about its intention and what its plans are," he said.
Discussions focused on the future of NIDS in light of the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that rendered the enabling legislation, which was passed in Parliament in 2017, null and void. Other areas addressed were data protection and personal privacy.
Mr. Morgan who was addressing a National Cyber Security Conference at The University of the West Indies (UWI) Regional Headquarters recently, said that NIDS is designed to provide Jamaica with a secure, reliable and accountable identification solution.
"We have a myriad of what you'd cal=l identification documents (passport, driver's licence and a voter's ID) but we do not have a national identification," he noted.
He said that NIDS will also identify people in the society with particular needs, prevent identity theft, provide authentic identity, ensure a unified system across Government and improve ease of doing business.
Mr. Morgan said that NIDS had its genesis in 1982, where a committee was set up under the leadership of JAG Smith to look into the establishment of a national system of identification. He said that a lot of the recommendations from that committee were reflected in the 2017 Bill.

PORT OF PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The first glimpse of what the Block Island Wind Farm will look like once the turbine towers are assembled and erected was revealed by Deepwater Wind and General Electric Renewable Energy at the Port of Providence on Friday, March 18.
With Narragansett Bay as a backdrop, and in strong, gusting winds suitable for generating wind energy, five 95-foot-tall wind turbine towers, resembling rockets perched on launch pads, towered over a gathering of state and local officials, industry professionals, and members of the public. Deepwater Wind and GE were the hosts for the tour of the Block Island Wind Farm tower assembly hub at ProvPort.
The officials made their remarks inside a climate-controlled tent where assembly is being conducted, with the five turbine tower sections viewable in the background behind them.
Soe-Jensen said that General Electric Renewable Energy has installed more than 30,000 onshore wind turbines and "is the biggest renewable energy company in the world. I'm excited about the future in the U.S. offshore wind industry." Soe-Jensen noted that he's been involved with the European wind energy business since its inception, and believes the success of that industry can be replicated in the U.S.
General Electric Renewable Energy is the entity responsible for supplying all five of the 6-megawatt Haliade 150 offshore wind turbines for the Block Island Wind Farm. According to GE, the five large Haliade turbines are capable of generating 30-megawatts of power, enough to produce about 125,000-megawatt hours of electricity, to meet approximately 90 percent of Block Island's electricity demand, about 5,000 households per annum, and save over 21,000 metric tons of CO2 during the turbines' lifetime.
Since January, GE, which purchased Alstom's energy business in Nov. of 2015, has employed 160 local laborers at a temporary manufacturing facility at ProvPort where they have been installing electrical, mechanical and safety equipment in the wind turbine towers. The towers were fabricated by French manufacturer Alstom in Spain and delivered to ProvPort this past fall for the final stages of assembly.
Once assembly of the wind turbine tower sections is completed at ProvPort, the towers, each consisting of three separate sections, with a total height of 270-feet and weighing 440-tons, will be loaded by crane onto two lift-boats, the Caitlin and the Paul, for transportation to the wind farm site.
Grybowski said that in August, the towers will "be floating down Narragansett Bay. There will be some spectacular moments from the top of the Newport Bridge as these towers float underneath that bridge on their way to" the Block Island Wind Farm site.
At 560 feet, the turbine towers, once installed, will be twice the height of the Statue of Liberty. The diameter of the rotor — 490 feet — is more than double the wingspan of a 747 jumbo jet.
Various project officials noted that construction of the wind farm was progressing well. Soe-Jensen said that "GE and Deepwater Wind are a perfect match to make this wind farm run.".
A number of officials credited Grybowski with bringing jobs to Rhode Island while being a "resilient" and "persistent" steward of the project.
"I give Jeff a lot of credit," said Mike Daley, Business Manager for Local 99, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. "There were a lot of people that said this couldn't be done. It was too expensive. Jeff said he was going to bring jobs to Rhode Island workers, and he kept his word." Daley noted that there were 50 electricians from the IBEW working on the project.
Grybowski told The Times that while assembly of the wind turbine towers was progressing well at ProvPort, there is "a lot of work to be done on the cable side" of the project.
National Grid's subcontractors are currently installing components of the cable transmission system on Block Island, with the 20-mile long submarine cable, designed to link the island to the mainland, expected to reach the conduit at Fred Benson Town Beach in early to mid-May.
Grybowski has stated that the Block Island Wind Farm will be completed and become operational some time in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Isernia v. Nielsen
United States District Court, M.D. Florida, Ocala Division
VALERIYA ISERNIA, Plaintiff,
KIRSTJEN M. NIELSEN, L. FRANCIS CISSNA, KATHERINE BARANOWSKI and KIMBERLY D DEAN Defendants.
REPORT & RECOMMENDATION[1]
PHILIP R. LAMMENS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants in this action have filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claim for review of agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). (Doc. 18). After Plaintiff responded to the motion, (Doc. 21), the Court ordered supplemental briefing on the issues. (Doc. 22, 23, 24). Upon referral from the district court, and after a review of the record, including the supplemental briefs, it is recommended that Defendants' motion to dismiss be granted and Plaintiff's complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted.
Plaintiff is a Russian national married to an American citizen. (Doc. 1 ¶¶12-13). In 2006, prior to marrying her husband, Plaintiff filed an application for asylum and withholding of removal proceedings with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). She later withdrew the asylum application after her marriage. (Doc. 1 ¶¶15-17). Plaintiff's spouse then filed a form I-130 to reclassify Plaintiff as an immediate relative at the same time that Plaintiff filed a form I-485 seeking an adjustment in her immigration status. (Doc. 1 ¶¶18-20).
USCIS denied Plaintiff's form I-485 application under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i), finding that she had procured, or sought to procure, an immigration benefit by fraud-namely, that she had provided false information as part of her initial asylum application. (Doc. 1 ¶21). Plaintiff appealed that decision, and the case was reopened, but USCIS ultimately denied the application on the same grounds. (Doc. 1 ¶23-24). In December 2016, Plaintiff filed a second form I-485, which was again denied on the same grounds. (Doc. 1 ¶28). The decision specified that Plaintiff was inadmissible based on the fraud, and Plaintiff had not applied for a waiver of her inadmissibility. (Doc. 1 ¶29). The denial of the second form I-485 is the subject of this action.
In her complaint, Plaintiff requests that the Court review the agency's decision and find the agency's action in denying her application without notifying her of the possibility of obtaining a hardship waiver, which could have allowed her application to be approved despite the fraud, to be arbitrary and capricious.[2] (Doc. 1). In her complaint, Plaintiff argues that Defendants are "under an affirmative obligation to provide Plaintiff with an opportunity to apply for a 'waiver of inadmissability.'" Plaintiff seeks an order compelling Defendants to adjudicate her form I-485 along with her associated waiver of admissibility. (Doc. 1, p. 9).
Defendants have moved to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). "A pleading that states a claim for relief must contain . . . a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). While detailed factual allegations are not required, "[a] pleading that offers 'labels and conclusions' or 'a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do.'" Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). "To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Id. (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570). The court must view the allegations of the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, consider the allegations of the complaint as true, and accept all reasonable inferences therefrom. La Grasta v. First Union Sec., Inc., 358 F.3d 840, 845 (11th Cir. 2004).
The Eleventh Circuit uses a two-pronged approach in its application of the holdings in Ashcroft and Twombly. The court must first, "eliminate any allegations in the complaint that are merely legal conclusions, " and then, "where there are well-pleaded factual allegations, 'assume their veracity and then determine whether they plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief.'" Am. Dental Ass'n v. Cigna Corp., 605 F.3d 1283, 1290 (11th Cir. 2010) (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 679). In applying these principles, the court can infer "'obvious alternative explanation[s],' which suggest lawful conduct rather than the unlawful conduct the plaintiff would ask the court to infer." Id. (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 682).
In their motion to dismiss, Defendants challenge both the Court's jurisdiction to hear Plaintiff's claim and argue that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim. The Court agrees that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim and, accordingly, submits that the motion to dismiss should be granted on that basis.
To begin, Plaintiff maintains that jurisdiction is proper under section 10 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), codified at 5 U.S.C. § 704, and the general federal question statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1331.[3] While the APA does not confer jurisdiction, it does creates a cause of action under the general federal question statute for parties adversely affected by agency action. See Califano v. Sanders, 430 U.S. 99, 107 (1977). And Plaintiff here does submit that she was subject to adverse action by an agency. See Jama v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 760 F.3d 490, 494- 95 (6th Cir. 2014) (holding district court had jurisdiction to consider claim of improper denial of fraud waiver application).[4]
While the parties agree that discretionary decisions of the Attorney General are non-reviewable, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B), Plaintiff's claim raises the question whether the government had a non-discretionary legal obligation to provide her notice and opportunity to submit a hardship waiver prior to denying her application. See Mejia Rodriguez v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 562 F.3d 1137, 1144-45 (11th Cir. 2009) (holding that jurisdiction exists in the district court to review non-discretionary decisions raising purely legal questions that do not arise in removal proceedings).
         Further, although judicial review is not available under the APA unless "an aggrieved party has exhausted all administrative remedies expressly prescribed by statute or agency rule, " see Darby v. Cisneros, 509 U.S. 137, 146 (1993), and the Eleventh Circuit has held that the denial of a form I-485 application for adjustment of status is not final action where removal proceedings are pending because the applicant can renew the application before the immigration judge or file any other adjustment of status application, see ...


Ryanair's outspoken CEO Michael O'Leary has slammed the French government for being "protectionist" and said his airline shouldn't have to pay payroll taxes in France. The ruling Socialist party hit back saying Ryanair's practices were "borderline fraud".
O'Leary, who has never been one for holding his tongue, has lambasted French politicians for taking the country towards bankruptcy.
"I love France and the French people. I just hate the political class that so carefully destroys the French economy by thinking that you can react to globalization with protectionism," Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said in an interview published on Sunday in the Journal du Dimanche.
"Look at the number of young talented French people who come to work in London or Dublin. If things do not change, France will end up bankrupt," O'Learysaid.
O'Leary was speaking four months after the Irish budget airline was ordered to pay €8.1 million ($10.3 million) in damages along with €200,000 in fines for paying workers under Irish contracts to save money on payroll and other taxes in breach of French labour law.
"Everything has been done against us: investigations, trials, appeals at the level of the European Union for competition issues. I don't see why we have to pay taxes in the countries where we operate and not in the country of the group that employs you."
O'Leary's lambasting of French labour practices and laws went on.
"Who would want to employ staff in France? Have you seen the tax rules and labour laws?," he said.
"We have staff in Spain, Italy, Germany, but not in France because of the crazy bureaucracy.
"Or to be more accurate, we have staff in Marseilles, but only six months a year. We employ them in seasonal jobs so as not to avoid the heavy legislation."
Unsurprisingly, French politicians did not take kindly to O'Leary's comments.
Speaking on i Télé on Monday, the MP went further, accusing the airline of "borderline fraud" and criticizing what he described as its "contemptuous methods".
The airline, he said wants to "go as far as possible to try to dodge social legislation to get to the to the other side".

Stories From the Field: Beirut on its Knees
By CNEWA Staff
Category: Stories From The Field, News, Lebanon
The alleyway near Ramzieh's house on Mar Mekhayel Street in Beirut lies strewn with rubble following the 4 August explosion at the city's port. (photo: CNEWA)
Darine Tawk works as a project coordinator in CNEWA's office in Beirut.
Gemmayze, with its historic buildings, is a popular neighborhood known for its cafes and nightlife. Many of its buildings overlook the port of Beirut, where people were standing on their balconies or near their windows before the blast struck. The area was full of restaurants, young Lebanese who had travelled and brought back cuisine from around the world. There were art galleries, too. It was a testing ground for entrepreneurs and dreamers; it was like any street in a cosmopolitan city, but it had a distinct neighborhood feel.
Now, when you walk through Beirut streets, death is all you see: shattered buildings, glasses and windows, where people were supposed to feel safe, in their own houses.
Our first home visit shed light on a damaged house that needed urgent work on its windows. The ceiling and walls were also cracked and needed treatment. Eliane is a mother of two living in the poor affected area of Rmeil–Achrafieh, near where the blast occurred. Given the circumstances and her hard financial situation, Eliane can't afford to repair her windows and cracked walls. "My disappointment in my government is so huge" she says. "No one came and asked about us here, only private organizations are doing the government's job on the ground!"
In the area, CNEWA is coordinating with its on-ground partner, the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul, which from the first days of the crisis was present, assessing all emergency and relief needs in the affected areas (Rmeil, Gemmayze and mar Mkhayel), neighborhoods where people were already suffering from the bad economy.
The next home visit was with Lamis and her father Mohammad, a family of six living in a small house in Rmeil that consists of a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. All live and sleep in the same room. The damage was limited to the windows and a refrigerator. Mohammad used to work at the Port of Beirut; luckily, he was not there, but because of the explosion he lost his job, the only family income.
Back on Mar Mekhayel Street, there are houses without roofs where families risk their lives sleeping behind cracked walls. Ramzieh is a 70-year-old widow living alone and taking care of her younger sister who suffers from a mental illness. Mar Mekhayel Street in known for its bars and loud music — it's a place every Lebanese person knows. Ramzieh lives just behind one of these bars, where the bedroom, kitchen and living room are all separated by an alleyway. The blast destroyed the roof of the kitchen and cracked the walls in the living room and bedroom where her ill sister was sleeping.
"I only want to live in dignity," Ramzieh says. "I never had any help from my government, but thanks to you, I am having a roof over my head again."
In Geitawi-Achrafieh, you find the Immaculate Conception School, about a mile from the blast site. Sister Marleine Youssef, the school's director, tells CNEWA what she experienced.
"I was a mile away," she explains. "When the explosion took place, I was on the roof. When I heard that there was an explosion and not an ordinary fire, I ran shouting to the Virgin Mary 'Save me, I do not know what to do!'"
She continues: "I found the elevator waiting for me on the fourth floor. It stopped between the floors. I was stuck, I prayed to the Virgin. I could hear the cries in the area. I knew then that the loss was enormous. I was stuck in the elevator for 20 minutes and the screams didn't stop. When the doors opened, I found out what was going on around me. It was a shock. I cried out with all my heart, 'Oh my soul, I deliver you into the hands of the Lord.' It was worse than war!"
The explosion devastated classrooms, buildings and four floors. The Daughters of Charity lost a great soul, Sister Sophie, who was found amid the rubble.
The Besancon Sisters School in Minet el Hosn in downtown Beirut was also damaged. Sister Mirna Farah, the school's director, describes what she experienced. "A huge explosion blew away windows, doors, and ripped walls and roofs," she says. "Five seconds were enough to stop time and take us 100 years back. We are still in shock, traumatized. The heavily affected districts of Mar Mikhael and Achrafieh resemble a scene of war, disasters, ruins, burned cars, people injured…"
People on the ground are working to help a wounded Beirut. They are standing together to help everyone in need as one big family. They want to help our beloved Beirut rise from the ashes again.
Fouad is a volunteer who is helping clean the rubble from the street. "Beirut's lifeline to the world has literally and metaphorically been destroyed," he says. "Lebanese people saw there was a need on the ground. They all came down, hand-in-hand and united to help the people whose houses had been impacted."
But he adds:
"I don't think Beirut will be the same after this."

For the upcoming Six-Pack Experiment I have planned for the whole month of April I've got one goal: Get a six-pack in roughly one month.
I'm not fat, but I'm not lean enough for abs to show through.
The HARDEST part of this is eating properly, thankfully I've been practicing doing that for the last month or two and have been successful at it….in fact preferring it.
I workout all the time and eat (relatively) correctly, but not to the extent I should…and I feel it's because I'm not sure what to do.
Well I found a workaround. A fellow blogger Adam Gilbert. That link is his personal blog, but what I'm interested in is the successful business he runs called MyBodyTutor.
With that said, he went ahead and gave me certain exercises to do and tips on eating yadda yadda…BUT THE BEST THING is the daily tracking you must do. I didn't realize this at first, but they have a whole back end to the website that members sign into daily….THIS is why I signed up…to be held accountable for everything I eat and how much I work out.
I signed up for the service about one week ago, and have eaten the best in my life these past 7 days thanks to Adam. I'll explain more about the process later in the experiment.
So in addition to being accountable by posting this experiment on my blog, I'll be getting professional help, advice and accountability from Adam (thanks man)!
We've got to get rid of that bit of chub.
Amidst all the semi-lame April Fool's Jokes other bloggers will be playing on their readers today, I will be starting something that's less funny, but more useful (To me…but hopefully others too).
This is called the Getting a Six-Pack Experiment, so I want to make it pseudo scientific….and by pseudo I mean "scientific in a sense that even a dumb guy like me can understand".
Define the question – Can I get a six pack in one month?
Gather information and resources (observe) – I will be basing this experiment on past experiences with losing weight, what I learned recently about calories and professional advice from MBT.
Form hypothesis – I believe by April 31st I will be able to see my abdominal muscles MUCH better, creating a "six-pack" on my stomach WITHOUT starving myself at all.
Perform experiment and collect data – Starting today I'll be documenting everything I eat and do for exercise.
Analyze data – Hold on fool…I haven't started yet!
Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis – Hold on…let me start first!
Publish results – Wait till after April.
It would make it more interesting and motivating to have others follow along to some extent.
LET THE SIX-PACK EXPERIMENT BEGIN!!

20190422 A New York student sued Apple for $1 billion
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-22/apple-face-recognition-blamed-by-new-york-teen-for-false-arrest
A New York student sued Apple Inc. for $1 billion, claiming the company's facial-recognition software falsely linked him to a series of thefts from Apple stores.
Ousmane Bah, 18, said he was arrested at his home in New York in November and charged with stealing from an Apple store.
The arrest warrant included a photo that didn't resemble Bah, he said in a lawsuit filed Monday.
One of the thefts he was charged with, in Boston, took place on the day in June he was attending his senior prom in Manhattan, he said.

... Kanzi learned to communicate using .. lexigrams, Kanzi also picked up some American Sign Language from watching videos ... Savage-Rumbaugh did not realize Kanzi could sign until he signed "You, Gorilla, Question" ...[18] ... identify symbols 89-95% of the time.[19]
Kanzi cannot speak vocally in a manner that is comprehensible to most humans, as bonobos have different vocal tracts from humans, which makes them incapable of reproducing most of the vocal sounds humans make. At the same time, it was noticed that every time Kanzi communicated with humans with specially designed graphic symbols [about 6000words], he also produced some vocalization [some could understand very little of it].
... later .. Kanzi was actually producing the articulatory equivalent of the symbols he was indicating, although in a very high pitch and with distortions

Image via WikipediaThe Carlisle High School Baseball team lost a close one versus the Alter Knights tonight. Alter's Atkins pitched the Knights to victory defeating the Indians 7-6. Carlisle goes to 6-3 on the season.


Credited with more than 25 years of experience, Dr. Rhonda Rand is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, Harvard-trained and has been named one of LA's "Best Doctors" by Los Angeles Magazine and the Los Angeles Times. It is her experience that patients truly appreciate. In addition to her busy practice, Dr. Rand has been an investigator for numerous clinical studies, paving the way for further advancements in the field of dermatology. Always at the forefront of the latest cutting-edge procedures, the doctor continually adds new technologies to ensure her patients always receive the most innovative, results-driven care.
With today's advances, there's no need to worry about aging.
Chocolate—it's packed full of antioxidants and helps my headaches! It's a win-win!
What innovation do you think has taken the field to new heights?
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser that helps address and prevent signs of aging. It improves the tone, texture and radiance of the skin to create a beautiful glow, and is perfect for anyone wanting a youthful and healthy look.
Why do you choose not to delegate your injectable procedures?
Having been in practice for more than 20 years, I have come to really take pride in my work as an artist. I don't believe in shuffling patients off to another member of my team. They're here to see me, which is why I want to personally care for them.
How do you tailor treatments?
No two patients are the same, and neither are any two recommendations. Every patient is unique and is treated as such. The goal isn't to look as young as possible, but rather as beautiful as possible for one's age and individual sense of style.
What is your philosophy when using injectables?
It's all about techniques, artistry and not overdoing it. If done subtly and in combination with other treatments, fillers can look completely natural.
Why do you employ combination treatments at your practice?
It's such an important part of dermatology. Combining different cosmetic treatments and technologies can give the optimum, beautiful results that we all want. For example, using radio-frequency treatments and/or Botox in conjunction with fillers can provide a more comprehensive solution than any of those treatments alone. All patients are unique so any treatment plan we develop is customized to work synergistically toward their goals.
Which new filler do you offer at your practice?
We've recently added Juvéderm VolumaTM XC to our filler options. It's a safe, effective hyaluronic acid filler that works to instantly add volume and subtly lift the cheek area, and it lasts for up to two years. It helps enhance contours to create a more youthful profile. We can also use Juvéderm Voluma XC in conjunction with our others fillers that work to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, creating a rejuvenated appearance.
What new treatments are you excited to offer patients?
We are excited to announce that CoolSculpting is now FDA-approved to treat fat reduction of the thighs! We are pleased to offer one of its newest applicators, CoolSmooth, which is perfect for use on the thighs and other nonpinchable fat bulges.
I began college as an art major but fell in love with science on the way. A career in dermatology combined my aesthetic talents and love of science.
I love hearing patients say, "Thanks, Dr. Rand. I feel better about my appearance." This challenge of improving what we present to the world is what drives me. And in light of the technologies that have come to the forefront over the last 20 years, it's remarkable what we have to offer our patients.
I have been an assisting clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA, where I teach cosmetic dermatology to residents. I also perform pro bono work for the Venice Family Clinic.
I'm a mother of three college kids, so that takes up a good portion of my time. I also enjoy hiking, skiing and traveling.
This patient was concerned about her undefined jaw and chin line. Dr. Rand performed a series of three Exilis Elite treatments on her lower face and neck.
With CoolSculpting, we use cryolipolysis (fat freezing) to eliminate excess fat cells. These cells die and are removed by the body over time and the treatment is completely noninvasive. Say "goodbye" to the bulges in your tummy, waist, love handles, inner thighs and back!
For those looking to go "back to basics," improving the integrity of their skin sans fragrances and oil-based ingredients, Dr. Rand's Dermbasics line truly is the answer. With 12 products, the line has been a must-have for those looking to really make a statement with their skin. Realistic with her patients, Dr. Rand, however, recognizes that products don't ever take the place of procedures. "Patients reap the most benefits when they combine a skin regimen with in-office treatments," Dr. Rand says.
Tighter and Smoother for Summer!
With Exilis, we are able to tighten the skin, reduce wrinkling as well as smooth and shape the contour of the body. It treats laxity of all areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, tummy, legs and knees!
This patient was worried her cheeks were falling, giving her face a flat appearance. Dr. Rand used Juvéderm Voluma® to fill in her mid-cheeks and lift her face.
Dr. Rand is particularly passionate about dermatology due to its diversity. As a dermatologist I'm privileged to treat a wide array of symptoms and people. It doesn't matter if you're a lawyer in a courtroom, an actress on television or a costume designer on the set of a movie everyone wants and deserves to look as good as they can. After all, let's face it, looks aren't everything, but they sure are important no matter who you are or what you do, says Dr. Rand, who treats everything from medical dermatologic concerns to those of a more cosmetic nature. I'm lucky; I see babies, parents, grandparents even great-grandparents. No two patients are the same, and neither are any two recommendations. Every patient is unique and is treated as such. For Dr. Rand, the goal isn't to look as young as possible, but rather as beautiful as possible for one's age and individual sense of style. You're welcome to contact our office to ask about our spring specials, says Dr. Rand.
Q. Which laser treatments are best for sun damage?
For my patients who have really bad upper lip wrinkles, I sometimes pull out the old CO2 laser, but in general I use the Fraxel.
Q. After sclerotherapy do I have to stay out of the sun?
You should wear support hose for a week and if the veins are bigger, then maybe even longer (about two weeks). For most of the little spider veins, a week is fine. I tell my patients to sleep with them the first night and after that, they need to wear them all day. You can work out with the compression stockings on and do normal activity. Can you lay in the sun? No, because you have your stockings on.
Q. Are spider veins on the leg best treated with a laser or injections?
Sclerotherapy is still the best. I do have a laser that I use for tiny red ones, but for regular spider veins that are blue or green or dark red I get the best results with sclerotherapy injections.
Q. When do veins get so bad that they can't be treated with sclerotherapy and need to be treated surgically?
If they have really bad varicose veins, then they may need to have those veins taken out surgically. Come into the dermatologist and get a consultation. That way we can take a look and figure out what the right treatment is.
Q. How can I get rid of neck wrinkles?
There are so many great things out now for necks. We have a machine called Exilis, which is radio frequency, and we're getting great results with it. It tightens up the neck and the skin laxity that people see. It's a great option that is noninvasive. We typically do about four treatments. We can also use Fraxel re:pair, which has a little bit of downtime, to treat sun damage on top of that.
Q. How does cryolipolysis work?
The new machine that was developed doesn't hurt the skin but would attack fat, which is very sensitive to cold. Basically with Zeltiq, the fat cells in the treated area die and are carried off by the lymphatic system and eventually dissolved. Zeltiq comes with three different hand pieces for treating different areas of the body. With each treatment there is a 20 to 25 percent reduction in the fatty layer. It's important to note that it's for bulge reduction not weight reduction.
Q. What does cryolipolysis feel like?
We put a special covering on the skin to protect it that feels like wet tissues and a vacuum suctions up the area to be treated and puts it between two metal plates—almost like a mammogram. I wouldn't call it painful. It is a cold and numbing sensation, but no one has ever told me that they can't take it. Some people even sleep during the procedure. The treatment takes one hour. You can do it several times [at different appointments] if you are working on one area or you can treat more than one area in a single session. It's completely noninvasive.
Q. When will I see the results from cryolipolysis?
Patients begin to see the effects about a month after the procedure and it continues for about four to six months. The bulk of the changes will be noticed in the two-to-three month range.
Q. What are the pros of fractional laser resurfacing?
It's hard to group the words "fractional laser resurfacing." The laser I use Fraxel re:pair, is a CO2 laser that means it's an ablative laser, and I love it. It's for sun damage and wrinkles and it resurfaces the skin, but with the fractionated technology the skin heals much faster than it did with the old CO2 lasers.
Q. What do you recommend to treat old acne scars?
There are a lot different treatments and it often depends on the type of scar. Whether it's a pitted scar or a sloping scar. We can use fillers to lift up scars. We can use Fraxel to take down the scars. We can do microdermabrasion a few times if the scars are very small. If the scar is very large, we may just take it out surgically and put stitches in. Chemical peels can also help. You really have to look at the patient in consultation and determine the type of scarring and the skin tone to determine the right treatment, which may be a little of everything.
Q. What is the newest laser at your practice?
Our newest laser is the Vbeam Perfecta, which is the gold standard for safely and effectively treating small facial blood vessels and redness, as well as stretch marks and scars.


Xiaomi just launched the Redmi Note 7 in China and the company is reportedly working to bring the phone to India soon. Alongside the Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi Go Xiaomi's Android Go phone in India by the end of Q1 2019. Then there are phones like Mi 9, Mi Mix 4, Mi A3 that are also in the pipeline. Alongside these phones, Xiaomi is working on a special phone to launch later this year. It's the Xiaomi foldable phone. Earlier this month the Xiaomi foldable phone was leaked in a video, but there wasn't any confirmation from the company's side.
But now Xiaomi has confirmed that they are working on a foldable phone which will be launching soon. The company has leaked a video showing the prototype of its foldable phone. The video shows that the Xiaomi foldable phone will work like a tablet as well as a smartphone. Notably, as Xiaomi said it is just a prototype for now which means the final design of the foldable phone will be pretty different than what the video shows. The same prototype could be showcased at the MWC 2019 next month.
The video shows the Xiaomi foldable phone from all sides and it looks pretty elegant with slim bezels on all edges. Considering it isn't the final production unit the edges aren't as polished as it should have been. We expect the final version of the Xiaomi foldable phone to be smoother and curvier from the sides. In the video, the Xiaomi foldable phone is being used by the company's President and Co-founder Bin Lin.
Lin uses the phone as a tablet and also as a phone. To use the Xiaomi foldable device as a tablet, the user needs to open the sides while to turn the device into a phone the device has to be folded on to the sides. The size of the tablet as well as the folded phone looks pretty perfect. The video further shows that the Xiaomi foldable phone runs MIUI interface. We expect it to come with MIUI 10 or the MIUI 11 which is to go official very soon as Xiaomi is currently working on it.
Xiaomi posted the video of the foldable phone prototype on the Chinese microblogging site called Weibo. In the video, Xiaomi has revealed that the company has been working on the foldable phone for quite some time and faced a lot of challenges to build the current design. It faced issues with the folding technology, MIUI adaption and many more. Xiaomi has also confirmed that the foldable phone will go official very soon. Considering Samsung and LG are expected to launch their respective foldable phones this year Xiaomi could also follow the same line. Xiaomi is yet to reveal official details about the launch timeline of the foldable phone.
Besides showing the prototype of the foldable phone, Xiaomi is also asking consumers for recommendations to name the phone. This suggests that the Xiaomi foldable phone launch is imminent.


Where there is Data, there is Data Loss. Whether it is due to a virus attack, software corruption or any other reason, Data loss is something that we all want to avoid. But, when Data loss happens we all want to recover as much as possible. The same thing happened to me, I am using a 2TB Seagate GO Flex External Drive for all my data backup solutions. Recently, the drive stopped showing itself in Windows Explorer. When I checked further I found out that the drive was detected in Device Manager and Device Management, but the partition was reflected as RAW.
It was more or like a disaster for me. All my data was in the drive and I felt miserable being in the situation. So, I started searching for a solution to recover my data. After searching for some time I came across Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery software by stellar information systems ltd. (http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htm). The product looked promising, so I thought to try it.
This Do-It-Yourself recovery tool can recover lost documents, emails, music, photos & videos. It can recover Deleted Files & folders, formatted hard disk drives & any other Internal or external storage devices.
If you follow the screenshot, almost every user can recover their data with this screen only. You can run the tool as your situation demands. Drive recovery is for recovery data of your hard disk drive. Same goes with CD / DVD recovery. Photo recovery option is used for searching and recovering all photo types in a single click from a specified storage drive.
When you click on Drive recovery, this tool expands the option to list the attached drives. If your hard disk drive is not listed here, you can start a deeper search by click on Click here to search lost volumes.
This option will let you select the Hard disk drive that might be damaged, corrupted or has the data that you wish to recover. On selecting the drive a menu pops up with options to search for Lost Volume with Quick scan or Deep scan. The other Option is Raw Recovery, I personally used this option as my 2TB drive was detected having a RAW partition type. Within the Raw Recovery, you can select the file types that you wish to recover & also the range where you wish to run the recovery process. Selecting the range is a bit advanced step in the recovery process. Range means selecting the starting and ending sector of your hard disk drive that you like to search for lost data on. I would suggest that you do not select any range as any normal user would not have much idea about sectors and the proper sectors that contain your data. Though on the other hand selecting specific file types cuts the time taken to recover the data. If you are not sure on the file types as well, you can select all the check boxes & start the process.
If you are searching for Lost Volumes, it is advisable to first search in Quick Scan mode to search for Lost Volumes. I selected the quick scan mode first to search for the lost partitions. This scan type was really quick and revealed by hard disk drive without any problems. Though, if your Lost Volumes are not revealed by Quick Scan, you can always try the Deep scan mode. Deep scan mode, is a slow process, as the name suggests, it scans your hard disk in a more precise manner to search for lost partitions.
After clicking on the Found "Lost Drive", again four options are listed to choose from. I found the very first option Quick recovery very useful in terms of easy usage. It was more than sufficient for me to recover all my data. Second option is more useful, if you accidentally deleted your data from a healthy drive. If Quick recovery did not work out for you, you can always select the advanced recovery option to recover your data. The advanced recovery option takes a bit more time to search for your files and folders. Any recovery process with this tool lists all the found files and folders in a tree view, just like the way your files would have been located in your storage drive. The view more or like resembles the Windows explorer view type and makes it very familiar and easy to work with. Simply select the files /folders that you might need and click on recover. It's as easy as it gets.
Coming to CD/DVD Recovery, I tried using this tool on a normal CD – DVD & a Blu-ray disk and to my surprise it got almost all my data out & intact from the scratched disks. When you insert a disk in your CD /DVD /Blu-ray drive stellar phoenix Windows data recovery will detect it automatically and as soon as you click on the CD / DVD recovery tab on the main menu it will start the recovery process.
After you have successfully recovered your data, there comes a need to back it up. The best part of Stellar Phoenix Windows Data recovery is that it lets you create a system image, Clone your hard disk drive to a new drive and even lets you check your drive for problems.
I immediately made a system image with the help of this tool. All I had to do was select the drive on which my windows is installed and select a secondary drive. This tool was very fast and efficient in making a system image. Now, this system image can be used for future restoration by using the middle option recovery from image.
Clone drive feature is something that makes it very easy for anyone to create a working mirror of your hard disk drive in a zippy. I tried this feature on my 120 GB drive & created a clone in about 10 minutes & 4 simple steps.
Drive Status is a feature in Stellar Info Phoenix Windows Data recovery that gave me a good outlook of how my hard disk drive is doing in terms of drive health. It also shows SMART data & helps in maintaining a healthy working system.
This tool helped me to recover 100% of my lost data from a RAW partition type & all this was as easy as it gets. Everything was self-explanatory & I found this tool to be very user friendly.

Nothing happens even after leaving it on the same situations for over 3 hours.
I've tried almost everything which i know but with no results. When I try to contact ASUS support, they said to replace the hard drive as it gone bad and couldn't work any more.
How can i be so careless in taking backup of all my precious data? However, somehow i got this post and download the aforementioned utility. I'm socked with the results which it has given to me. Almost 80% of all my precious files are visible in scan results for preview, which i immediately saved in the external drive, off course.

Governor Whitmer takes critical action on PFAS contamination in breaking announcement
LANSING - Today, Governor Whitmer announced that she will be re-establishing the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) science advisory board to study the science around exposure to PFAS. Furthermore, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will be issuing a request for rulemaking to set a drinking water maximum contaminant level (MCL) for PFAS statewide. The administration wants the MPART groups to inform the scope of the rulemaking and the standards.
"The science is clear that the 70 parts per trillion (ppt) health advisory level for PFOS and PFOA is not sufficiently protective of the health and well being of Michigan residents," said Michigan Environmental Council Energy Policy and Legislative Affairs Director Charlotte Jameson. "For years communities across Michigan have been calling on our state government to set a drinking water standard for these toxic chemicals that is grounded in science and protective of human health. We thank Governor Whitmer for listening to the concerns of Michigan residents and continuing to prioritize protecting our water by setting in motion a process to study the science around PFAS and set a drinking water standard. Only when we set this standard can Michigan begin to truly regulate and monitor the amount of PFAS in our drinking water and protect our health."
"As a member of the PFAS impacted community of Oscoda, it has been extremely disheartening to see the inaction on PFAS at the federal level and under the prior administration in our state," said Oscoda homeowner Anthony Spaniola. "I commend Governor Whitmer for taking the initiative and acting quickly upon this issue in her new administration by pushing for a drinking water standard for these persistent chemicals. The science has clearly shown that PFAS chemicals pose serious threats to the most vulnerable among us, particularly pregnant women and children. The children are our future, and we must act swiftly to protect them."
"The Huron River is a vital economic driver for southeast Michigan contributing $53.5 million annually in economic output. It is also the main source of drinking water for the City of Ann Arbor," said Huron Rivershed Watershed Council Executive Director Laura Rubin. "Unsafe levels of toxic PFAS in our river are threatening not only the health of Huron watershed residents and wildlife, but also our vital outdoor recreation economy. We are thankful that Governor Whitmer is taking critical steps to address PFAS contamination and better protect the rivers and lakes that make Michigan so unique."
