Originally published in Boston: Anti-Slavery Office, 1845.
Learning Objective: The goal of this two to three day exemplar is to give students the opportunity to explore the point of view of a man who survived slavery. By reading and rereading the passage closely, combined with classroom discussion about it, students will explore the various beliefs and points of view Douglass experienced as he became increasingly aware of the unfairness of his life. Students will need to consider the emotional context of words and how diction (word choice) affects an author's message. When combined with writing about the passage and teacher feedback, students will form a deeper understanding of how slavery affected those involved.
Reading Task: Students will silently read the passage in question on a given day—first independently and then following along with the text as the teacher and/or skillful students read aloud. Depending on the difficulties of a given text and the teacher's knowledge of the fluency abilities of students, the order of the student silent read and the teacher reading aloud with students following might be reversed. What is important is to allow all students to interact with challenging text on their own as frequently and independently as possible. Students will then reread specific passages in response to a set of concise, text-dependent questions that compel them to examine the meaning and structure of Douglass's prose. Therefore, rereading is deliberately built into the instructional unit.
Vocabulary Task: Most of the meanings of words in the exemplar text can be discovered by students from careful reading of the context in which they appear. Teachers can use discussions to model and reinforce how to learn vocabulary from contextual clues, and students must be held accountable for engaging in this practice. Where it is judged this is not possible, underlined words are defined briefly for students to the right of the text in a separate column whenever the original text is reproduced. At times, this is all the support these defined words need. At other times, particularly with abstract words, teachers will need to spend more time explaining and discussing them. In addition, in subsequent close readings of passages of the text, high value academic ('Tier Two') words have been bolded to draw attention to them. Given how crucial vocabulary knowledge is for academic and career success, it is essential that these high value words be discussed and lingered over during the instructional sequence.
Sentence Syntax Task: On occasion students will encounter particularly difficult sentences to decode. Teachers should engage in a close examination of such sentences to help students discover how they are built and how they convey meaning. While many questions addressing important aspects of the text double as questions about syntax, students should receive regular supported practice in deciphering complex sentences. It is crucial that the help they receive in unpacking text complexity focuses both on the precise meaning of what the author is saying and why the author might have constructed the sentence in this particular fashion. That practice will in turn support students' ability to unpack meaning from syntactically complex sentences they encounter in future reading.
Discussion Task: Students will discuss the exemplar text in depth with their teacher and their classmates, performing activities that result in a close reading of Douglass's prose. The goal is to foster student confidence when encountering complex text and to reinforce the skills they have acquired regarding how to build and extend their understanding of a text. A general principle is to always reread the passage that provides evidence for the question under discussion. This gives students another encounter with the text, helping them develop fluency and reinforcing their use of text evidence.
Writing Task: Students will write an explanatory paragraph using their understanding of the word choice and emotions expressed in the selection to present their opinions about what Douglass is trying to explain to the audience. Teachers might afford students the opportunity to revise their paragraphs after participating in classroom discussion or receiving teacher feedback, allowing them to refashion both their understanding of the text and their expression of that understanding.
Outline of Lesson Plan: This lesson can be delivered in two to three days of instruction and reflection on the part of students and their teacher.
Standards Addressed: The following Common Core State Standards are the focus of this exemplar: RL 8.1, RL.8.2, RL.8.3, RL.8.4; W.8.1, W.8.4; SL.8.1, SL.8.3.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent on errands, I always took my book with me, and by going on one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country. It is enough to say of the dear little fellows, that they lived on Philpot Street, very near Durgin and Bailey's ship-yard. I used to talk this matter of slavery over with them. I would sometimes say to them, I wished I could be as free as they would be when they got to be men. "You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?" These words used to trouble them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free.
Teacher then assigns a paragraph that asks students to write an analysis of Douglass' text.

. . . The slave was made to say some very smart as well as impressive things in reply to his master—things which had the desired though unexpected effect; for the conversation resulted in the voluntary emancipation of the slave on the part of the master.
Other than giving the brief definitions offered to words students would likely not be able to define from context (underlined in the text), avoid giving any background context or instructional guidance at the outset of the lesson while students are reading the text silently. This close reading approach forces students to rely exclusively on the text instead of privileging background knowledge and levels the playing field for all students as they seek to comprehend Douglass's prose. It is critical to cultivating independence and creating a culture of close reading that students initially grapple with rich texts like Douglass' text without the aid of prefatory material, extensive notes, or even teacher explanations.
2. Read the passage out loud to the class as students follow along in the text.
Asking students to listen to Narrative of the Life exposes them a second time to the rhythms and meaning of Douglass' language before they begin their own close reading of the passage. Speaking clearly and carefully will allow students to follow Douglass' narrative, and reading out loud with students following along improves fluency while offering all students access to this complex text. Accurate and skillful modeling of the reading provides students who may be dysfluent with accurate pronunciations and syntactic patterns of English.

3. Ask the class to answer a small set of text-dependent guided questions and perform targeted tasks about the passage, with answers in the form of notes, annotations to the text, or more formal responses as appropriate.
As students move through these questions and reread Douglass' text, be sure to check for and reinforce their understanding of academic vocabulary in the corresponding text (which will be boldfaced the first time it appears in the text). At times, the questions themselves may focus on academic vocabulary.
(Q1) Why is Douglass specific about making friends with "little white boys"?
Students may not have internalized the title and may not understand that this is a story of a former slave or that this is during the period where whites had a lot more power. Teachers should point them back to the title if they cannot answer this question, allowing students to clarify their own thinking through the text.
(Q2) How did Douglass learn how to read when running errands?
Taking bread with him, he would quickly finish the first part of an errand and then exchange the bread for a reading lesson before completing the remainder of his chores.
(Q3) In what ways does Douglass' life differ from the white boys' lives?
Students should see that Douglass is not condemning his upbringing totally. He was denied an education, which he finds more valuable than food. However, he does have bread, where many of the white boys are hungry.
(Q4) Douglass is describing events from the past. These "boys" are now adult men, so why would he avoid giving their names?
He thinks they still might get in trouble for having taught a slave to read. This is the "unpardonable offence". He is also concerned that as adults they may be embarrassed at having done this.
I used to talk this matter of slavery over with them. I would sometimes say to them, I wished I could be as free as they would be when they got to be men. "You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?" These words used to trouble them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free.
(Q5) Which of these meanings of "trouble" is Douglass using? Why did he choose this word? How would the meaning have changed if he had chosen the word "anger"?
Students may vary in which definitions they believe apply, but they should see that Douglass is using multiple meanings of this word. He is emphasizing that slavery can cause more than one kind of trouble: emotional or physical pain, frustration, or even anxiety. The use of "trouble" instead of "angry" suggests that the boys did not feel all that strongly about slavery even if they were uncomfortable with Douglass being a slave.
(Q6) Why does Douglass describe the master's response as both "desired" and "unexpected"? Why the contrast between these two words?
He did not expect the slave to be freed, which is why the voluntary emancipation surprised him. Advanced students might infer that as much as Douglass desires for masters to acknowledge the arguments of a former slave in this book against slavery, he does not expect it.
Ask students to parse the syntax of the final sentence in the passage, paying careful attention to how the constituent parts of the sentence add up to create the unique meaning of Douglass's words.
Assign a paragraph that asks students to write an analysis of Douglass' text.


The most important part of any race is the finish line. My life's a lot like that too. I need to know what goal I'm running towards, otherwise I might as well just be jogging in place.
In a sense, that made the city being overrun by mutant animals almost perfect for me. Lots of clear and immediate goals and no need wait to act on any of them.
"How are you doing with the library Borderskipper?" Helios, my teammate, asked over our communicators.
I rested my hands on my knees as I bent over to catch my breath. Around me a small army of mutant animals and insects lay unconscious on the ground. I muttered a spell under my breath to keep them asleep until we could figure out something else to do with them.
"Good. We're going to need you head to West River. We've got reports that there's another group of mutants swarming at the middle school there." Helios said. West River was one of the satellite communities of Brassport. A little suburb area that attracted new families and retirees.
"No problem. How are the others holding up?" I asked. My team, the Champions of Olympus, were pretty tough, but fighting an army of super power mutant animals like this was a first for us.
"Aegis and Thundercrash are reporting some serious fighting near the college. The others seem to be doing ok." Helios reported.
"Aegis and Thundercrash are out fighting? After what they've been through? Are they going to be ok? I can move to reinforce them." I offered. The thought of Mr. Indestructible and Ms. Power of Zeus needing help would normally have been a joke but we'd lost them once to the unexpected technology that Doctor Wyrd was deploying and none of us were eager to see that happen again.
"Nope. Thundercrash has explicitly, and I mean very explicitly, informed me to keep everyone away from them." Helios said.
"She's not holding back is she." I guessed.
"Of course she is. The city's still here isn't it? She's just, letting herself cut loose a little more than normal." Helios said.
Thundercrash and Aegis made a cute couple for a lot of reasons, not the least of which being that she didn't have to worry about barbecuing him when she flexed her real power.
"I read and copy that. Avoiding College Ave like its on fire." I said.
"Wait, when do you ever run away from things that are on fire?" Helios asked.
"It's happened…um, once or twice, I think." I grumbled. I had a reputation as being the team's hot head that I had to admit wasn't unearned. That was one of the problems with being the Champion of Hermes though. He'd gifted me with inhuman speed. I mean there was fast and then there was "gets bored waiting for a hummingbird to beat it's wings".
Don't get me wrong, I love the gifts I've been given. It can just be a irritating waiting for everything because everyone else is so incredibly slow by comparison.
Hermes told me once that the reason he doesn't appear as a central character in a lot of the old myths is because the myths were often about the times when the gods screwed up. It wasn't that he'd never made mistakes like that but being the fastest of the gods by far he could usually fix the things that went wrong before anyone else noticed.
I'd loved that idea when he told me about it. It had been part of his sales pitch for me to become his Champion. Honestly he had me at "Have you ever thought about being a hero?", but the idea of being able to fix my mistakes before they caused anyone else trouble seemed like a dream come true.
As with a lot of things in life, the reality of the dream turned out to be both better and worse than I'd expected. As a speedster I did gain the ability to fix things quickly. That also meant I could break them quickly too. I tried to be careful about that and not actually charge into situations as blindly as my team thought I did, but there were times when even with super speed I had to make quick decisions.
"How is the evacuation going? Should I do a house-by-house search on the way to West River?" I asked.
"There's been a complication there." Helios said.
"That doesn't sound good. What happened, did people not make it to the shelters?" I asked.
"Force fields? That sounds like it would be a good thing, but I'm guessing not?" I said.
"The force fields are keeping us out but not the muta-morphs. That's the battle Aegis and Thundercrash are fighting." Helios explained.
"This is getting serious then. Has a general call gone out for aid yet?" I asked.
"Yes but Unity City and New Delhi have posted priority alerts as well." Helios said.
"Mutant animal hordes attacking the city." he said.
"Are you serious? I thought Doctor Wyrd was behind this?" I said.
"He is. But he may be working with other people as well." Helios replied.
"Could this day get any better?" I asked, knowing that I was tempting Fate. The only thing less fun to deal with than a super villain with a scheme to destroy the city was a cabal of super villains with a scheme to destroy the world.
"I'm going to remind you that you said that you know." Helios teased me.
"Not operational yet but there are National Guardsman on the scene." Helios said.
I reached into the gift that Hermes had given me and called for the first mantle of speed, the Mantle of the Winds. Each mantle that I put on let me run faster but would drain me for a longer time when I took it off. For getting out to the suburbs, running as fast as the wind was sufficient.
The streets passed in a blur as I whizzed along them. I was surprised to see that they were mostly empty too. Granted, the people had all fled to the safety of shelters but usually there would be monsters roaming around like they owned the place. Not so with the muta-morphs. They were working in groups, even across species, and they were working towards some specific goal.
Evidence of that presented itself as I arrived at the middle school's field. In place of children playing before the bell rang there were several dozen muta-morphs trying to fight their way into the building.
I streaked in towards them and called for the Mantle of Sound. I could fight one or two of the muta-morphs at the speed of the wind but for a whole ton of them like this I needed to be able to move so fast they couldn't even see me.
The sonic boom that heralded my arrival got their attention but by the time they knew to watch for me, I was already beyond their grasp. I left another sonic boom as I changed course and made a second pass through their ranks striking out at any that were close enough to hit.
One of the gifts that comes with each mantle is the ability to survive impacts at those speeds. I can extend that gift to others if I need to pick someone up or if I don't want to break everything I touch. In the case of giant mutant insects though breaking everything I touched seemed like a really good idea.
I was on my third pass through them, when I noticed that the first group of metamorphs weren't the only ones assaulting the school. Another group had broken off and was harassing an old man and two children who were outside the building for some reason.
I was moving too quickly to speak with the National Guardsmen that were inside the school but I could see that they'd noticed my attacks and were setting up to take advantage of them. From the looks of it through they hadn't noticed the old man and the children yet.
I left the Guardsmen to handle the first crowd of monsters for a few moment and sprinted to the next group to rescue the people who were trapped outside.
The muta-morph group was composed of a motley array of mutated creatures, mostly insects but a few squirrels, a coyote and large transformed dog.
I struck out at the mammals first since they were the biggest targets. The squirrels manifested metal skins where I hit them but the force of my blow sent them sailing away regardless. The mutant coyote was trickier, he turned to smoke in the areas I punched. I'd fought enemies like that before though.
A series of punches reduced him to a completely misty state for a moment. That was all the time I needed to whisper the spell for a small tornado to sweep him up and carry him off. It wasn't a permanent solution but it would keep him spinning and disoriented for the better part of an hour.
The last mammal was the mutant dog. Something about it's stance and the way it was facing registered as wrong for me. It wasn't until the dog lady dodged my blow that I figured out what it was.
The dog lady wasn't attacking the old man and the children. She was protecting them!
That's when I looked at the children and the old man more closely. They earn wore torn up bits of power armor and each was covered in a skin tight layer of blue radiance.
This was no ordinary group of civilians. Given that the mutants were attacking them too though I was willing to take it on faith for the moment that they were more likely to be on my side than not.
Like with the guardsmen in the school, I was traveling too fast to explain anything to the old man, the children or the mutant dog. Sometimes though actions can speak a lot louder than words.
I switched from using passing strikes that would keep me safe to jumping into the middle of the melee and staying there. Tooth and claw, fist and spell, the dog lady and I fought the mutant insects that were attacking them until none were left. I zipped a little away from the group and took a look back towards the school where the guardsmen had managed to incapacitate the distracted mutants with flashbang grenades and hyper-tear gas.
Gritting my teeth against the fatigue that was to come, I let the Mantle of Sound go and looked back to the group I'd just fought beside.
"Borderskipper!" the young girl of the group cried out.
There are perks to being famous.
"What are you people doing out here?" I asked.
"Trying to get in there." the old man responded.
"Is anyone hurt? Are you all ok?" I asked.
"Hurt no. Ok, also no" the old man said.
"Let me help you get into the school then. You'll be safe there." I said.
"I don't believe we shall be." the old man said.
"It's the best place for you sir, believe me." I said.
"It's certainly better than out here." he agreed.
I brought the four of them in with me. The National Guardsmen were in the process of getting their base setup. Communications were up and running but they seemed to be short handed when it came to the defensive positions.
"Borderskipper, glad you could make it here. Can I ask who your friend is." the commander said, looking at the dog lady.
"I am Princess." she said.
"She's on our side." I told him.
"I, however, am not." the old man said.
"What do you mean?" I asked him. The force fields that the three humans were wearing made me think of the force fields that Helios had reported around the shelters.
"I mean that what you see before you is an old man. Perhaps even a crazy old man. It is important that you take this crazy old man seriously however." he said. He didn't sound crazy at all actually. He sounded poised and assured. Just like some of the super villains that I've fought. I reached for the Mantle of the Winds as well as some of my containment spells but didn't cast them. I was too tired from using the Mantle of Sound. I didn't want to casually call on more power unless it was needed and something about the way the old man spoke told me he wasn't going to harm us.
"Please communicate this message to an archivist or an expert system with access to historical crisis records." the old man said and then listed out a string of numbers and letters.
"What is this?" the Guard commander asked.
"It's a code. Tell them to decrypt it using the encryption key Doctor Nightshade provided." the old man said.
"Doctor Nightshade is dead." the Guard commander said.
"He was. For quite a long time." the old man agreed.
The Guard commander sent the string of characters but kept a wary eye on the old man.
"In a moment, you are going to receive orders to arrest me. I will take no issue with that providing you understand a few things." the old man said.
"First, these children have nothing to do with me beside being my neighbors. Please do not mistake them for henchmen or underlings. I would be disappointed if you did something that made Princess unhappy." the old man looked at the dog lady with a smile.
"Lastly, as to the handling of my own person, you may chain or detain me in any way that you like." the old man finished.
"That's it? No ultimatums? No demands?" the Guard commander said.
"One must be in a position of control to make demands. I restrict myself there to only those requests that are reasonable therefore." the old man said.
"Why would you turn yourself in now though? It's been twenty years." I asked.
"Perhaps I've gone mad, or maybe this is what sanity looks like." the old man said.
There was a ping on the Guard commander's screen.
"They decrypted your message." the Guard commander said, his face grim.
"It said 'I am back.' What did the rest of their message say though?" the old man asked.
"It said that I'm going to bring you to the primary command center." a masked woman said after she blinked into existence beside us.
"What's happening Ghost Step?" I asked.
"We had a researcher working on a counteragent for the mutagen. She was trapped in one of the shelters by the force fields. The shelter was assaulted and they fled. She's lost somewhere in the storm tunnels." Ghost Step said.
"Why do they need him though?" I asked.
"Because I'm the one who designed those force fields." the old man said.

"As our family Seder comes to a close, no one is really in the mood for deep discussion. At this late hour, and after four cups of good wine, we and our guests just want to sing the classic songs and enjoy ourselves. As a result, Chad Gadya, the enigmatic little ditty about a father and his unfortunate goat, gets little serious attention, although we do relish doing the actions and the animal sounds.
Chad Gadya, however, does have some profound undercurrents, especially when an often-made mistake is corrected. It is well-known that the "Pesach" was the paschal sacrifice offered by each Israelite family when the Temple stood in Jerusalem on the eve of Passover. However, many make the mistake of thinking this was always a lamb offering. In fact, the Torah calls the animal to be offered a seh.
This is a Hebrew collective term for a lamb and a kid, as it says, "An unblemished seh, a year-old male you shall have, from the sheep or from the goats you may take it" (Exodus 12:5). So the Pesach offering could be a paschal lamb or a paschal goat. This places the Chad Gadya story at the centre in the Seder. For that goat can represent the Jewish people surviving oppression, as they did way back in ancient Egypt when the paschal goat was first eaten.

Q: How do I configure Mercurial to use environment variables in mercurial.ini How can I modify the mercurial.ini file to include an environment variable such as %userprofile%.
Specific situation:
I am learning to use Mercurial.  I have modified the [ui] section of Mercurial.ini (in my home path) to include:
ignore = c:\users\user\.hgignore

Where user is my username literal.  The .hgignore file includes filename filters that are used to ignore files during commit. How can I alter it from being the a literal user to an environment variable $user?

A: It won't interpolate environment variables in the hgrc, but I do believe that tilda expands to your home/profile directory correctly even on windows.
So:
ignore = ~/.hgignore

should work on windows and elsewhere (even the slashes get spun the wrong way automatically for you).
For other variables you'd need to get a little tricker and write a batch/cmd file that does the interpolation in advance and then hands the result off to mercurial for processing.

A: The mercurial.ini parses the environment variables just fine.
From my mercurial.ini:
[ui]
ignore = %USERPROFILE%/.hgignore

Works like a charm.  Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Mercurial 1.5 (binary installation).  The hgignore file is honored both my the command line hg.exe, and tortoiseHG.

HomeGigsENTER SHIKARI Announce Their Longest Ever UK Tour
ENTER SHIKARI Announce Their Longest Ever UK Tour
July 11, 2018 Mark Millar Gigs, News 0
Hot off the heels of winning Best Album at the Kerrang! Awards for Top 5 album 'The Spark', the soaring career of alt-rock band Enter Shikari continues to rise as they announce their longest UK tour to date beginning on 1 st December 2018.
The extensive 'Stop The Clocks' tour which takes in London's Brixton Academy, The Welly in Hull, the Cheese & Grain in Frome, Cymru in Llandudno and Glasgow Barrowlands is an opportunity to see the band up close on their longest ever UK tour.
Rou Reynolds says:
"Our most recent UK tours have been of the "eight or nine shows in arenas / big sheds" variety, so we consciously wanted to switch it up a bit going into 2019. Enter Shikari have always kept dipping back into more intimate venues over the years, no matter how big our headline shows have become. That's where we cut our teeth. The heat-sweat-and-visceral-human-connection of smaller gigs is every bit the equal of the impressive-scale-and-expensive-production of arena shows. We've never seen the latter as an evolution away from the former. They exist on opposite sides of the same coin for us.
It's also no secret that austerity and the looming potential disaster of Brexit have seen people having to be a lot more careful with how they spend their money. With things being what they are right now, it doesn't seem fair for only those who can afford the travel to a major city for a night out (plus the inevitable other costs that go along with it) to be able to see a show. Playing 28 dates across the UK is our way of taking what we do back to as many people as possible, in the most intimate and direct way".
'Stop The Clocks' UK tour dates below:
Saturday 01/12/2018 Lincoln, Engine Shed

Площадь имени Героев Донбасса (до 2002 года название отсутствовало, до 2022 года носила название Пло́щадь Совета Европы) — площадь в Саратове. Расположена перед аэропортом, ограничивающим площадь с одной стороны. С другой стороны её ограничивает Высокая улица, к которой у западного угла площади примыкает Высокий проезд. В центре площади находится большой камень с табличкой «Площадь им. Героев Донбасса», также на площади установлены 2 самолёта: АН-24Б и ЯК-42Д.

История
Площадь появилась, вероятно, одновременно с аэропортом, то есть 19 сентября 1931 года, однако собственного названия не получила и потому значится в постановлении мэра Саратова от 12 сентября 1999 года как «площадь перед зданием аэропорта». Постановление, касавшееся присвоения площади имени Совета Европы, содержало требование к администрации Кировского района установить на площади стелу с символикой Совета Европы.

В июне 2002 года в Саратове прошло заседание комиссии ПАСЕ по юридическим вопросам и правам человека. В ней приняли участие представители 43 стран Европы. Они посетили новый корпус СИЗО в Саратове и были приятно удивлены качеством изолятора.

В присутствии членов комиссии ПАСЕ 13 июля 2002 года на площади состоялось открытие памятника — стелы с большим камнем в основании. Председатель комиссии ПАСЕ, Эдуард Линтнер, заявил, что он восхищён тем, что побывал на открытии памятника на первой в России площади Совета Европы.

Площадь, а точнее, прилегающая к ней территория, стала популярной площадкой для обозрения города. На ней устраиваются праздничные фейерверки.

25 мая 2022 года глава города Саратова подписал постановление о переименовании площади в площадь им. Героев Донбасса.

Let us treat obesity now and avoid the consequences later
Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. A body mass index over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese. Rates of overweight and obesity continue to grow in adults and children.
Obesity often results from taking in more calories than are burned by exercise and normal daily activities. The main symptom is excessive body fat, which increases the risk of serious health problems.The mainstay of treatment is lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
A new study conducted by the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) has shown that obesity cases are rising in Tanzania, increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases.
The study shows that if no action is taken this will impose heavy economic burden on individuals, families and the government.
The Economic and Social Research Foundation in their report following the research calls for urgent policy intervention by the government to arrest the trend it says has led to upsurge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Apart from the ever rising death toll from the NCDs, individual patients incur medical and non-medical costs totalling 1,211.78 US dollars annually, on average, as well as indirect costs such as loss of income, according to the report.
The cost to the government of caring for NCD patients nearly doubled from 142.7 million dollars in 2015/16 to 280.6 million dollars in 2019/20.
Obesity and NCDs are a global concern. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 39 percent of the global adult population or 1.9 billion people were overweight in 2016 while 13 percent (650 million people) were obese. Some 41 million children under five years were also diagnosed overweight or obese.
The research by the policy think tank found that five percent of Tanzania's adult population had excessive weight in 2008, but this rose to 8.4 percent in 2016, whereas deaths from NCDs accounted for a third of all deaths. Obesity was reported to be higher among females (12.7 per cent) than men (4.1 per cent) and it affects the age group 45-54 years most.
Lack of community awareness on NCDs and the government's concentration on curative care services rather than preventive measures is blamed for the continued growth of the diseases.
Obese people are in turn vulnerable to developing non-communicable ailments, such as cardiovascular complications, diabetes and various cancers.
The study found that middle-aged adults consumed high intake of sugary drinks, concluding that imposition of tax would help lower the intake, thereby reducing obesity prevalence by 6.6 per cent overall.
The researchers recommend consultation with SSB manufacturers, consumers and other stakeholders on the proposal to ensure inclusive implementation.
The report gives evidence that the fiscal policy intervention has proved effective in many countries, including South Africa, India, Brazil, Denmark, France, United Kingdom and Bulgaria.
This is the first such study in Eastern Africa and second only to one carried out in South Africa on the continent.
Raising the excise tax on sugar-sweetened drinks by 20 percent of the price would not only complement other measures to reduce obesity, but will also boost government revenues by an additional 452bn/- annually.
World Obesity Day is observed globally on 4 March as of March 2020 (having previously been observed on the 11th October) with the view of promoting practical solutions to end the global obesity crisis.
It is organised by the World Obesity Federation, a non-profit body which is in official relations with the World Health Organization and is a collaborating body on the Lancet Commission on Obesity. World Obesity states that its aim is to "lead and drive global efforts to reduce, prevent and treat obesity."
World Obesity Day 2017 was themed "treat obesity now and avoid the consequences later." It called for investment in treatment services to support people affected by obesity, early intervention to improve the success of treatment, and prevention to reduce the need for treatment.

The Romanov Children in 1906: Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra had four daughters and one son. (L-R) The Grand Duchess Olga (b.1895), Tsarevich Alexei (b.1904), Grand Duchesses Tatiana (b.1897), Maria (b.1899) and Anastasia (b.1901) Romanov. They were the last Imperial children of Russia. They were murdered with their parents 12 years after this photo was taken, in 1918.
The Romanov girls – Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia – were born only six years apart, which brought them close. As daughters of the Tsar, they naturally grew up in a very cloistered environment, without the usual playmates. This brought them even closer, closer than most sisters. They loved each other very dearly.
The grand duchesses thought of themselves as one unit and, by adolescence, decided to declare this unity by adopting the single autograph, "OTMA," derived from the first letters of their names. As OTMA, they jointly gave gifts and signed correspondence.
Unlike most sisters, they did not squabble over possessions. Rather, they freely shared their belongings with one another. Tatiana once remarked to Baroness Buxhoeveden, one of her ladies-in waiting:
We sisters always borrow from each other when we think the jewels of one will suit the dress of the other."
The girls were thrilled when their mother, Empress Alexandra, gave birth to a son in 1904. They warmly welcomed little Alexei, the tsarevich or heir, into their fold. He became everyone's baby, especially when it was learned he was gravely ill with hemophilia.
Since there were five of them then, the grand duchesses modified the acronym OTMA to reflect the addition of their baby brother. OTMA thus became OTMAA.

The Crowned Romanovs, Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna, 1896 image
On May 26, 1896, the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II was held in Moscow. Four days later, the traditional public festival was to be held at a field five miles north of the city. At the invitation of the new tsar, every Russian was welcome. As Tsar Nicholas II was the absolute ruler of 1/6 of the earth and more than 120 million people, many people were expected. (3) All were promised free food, beer, gifts, and entertainment. The tsar himself was to appear at the central pavillion to watch the parade and greet his people.
The Khodynka Program of Events
Khodynka Field was the site selected for the popular celebration because it was the only place large enough to contain the expected crowd. However, Khodynka Field was not a natural fairground; it was a training ground for troops of the Moscow garrison. The field was crisscrossed by a network of shallow trenches used for moving troops and artillery and pitted with holes. Therefore, in preparation for the festival, wooden stalls, reviewing stands, and entertainment stages had to be built as well as bridges to span the enormous ditches. Barricades – really just skimpy wooden railings – protected the site from the crowds.
Khodynka Field is being prepared for the May 26, 1896, post coronation celebration for Russian Tsar Nicholas II.
Thrilled by the coronation and excited by the prospect of the carnival to be held at Khodynka Field, the people were "stirred up and restive." (1) The night before, thousands thronged to the area and camped out in the open, waiting for dawn, when the turnstiles would open and they could enter the fairgrounds. As the group waited, a rumor began to spread
that there would not be enough gifts or food to go around. They had been promised sausage, bread rolls, sweets, nuts, gingerbread and a precious keepsake – a pink enamel mug bearing the arms of the city of Moscow and the words "In memory of the Holy Coronation," all wrapped together in a colored kerchief stamped with the tsar and tsarina's pictures." (1)
More and more people came. There was much jostling and crowding. "The crush was so great a bullet could not have slipped through." (2) Over the course of the night, made anxious by rumors of shortages, people pushed toward the barricades that guarded the entrance to the fairground in order to be the first in line when the gates opened.
It was sometime just before dawn when the barricades fell. The crowd surged forward, stampeding onto the meadow, rushing toward the food stalls. The patrol of 100 mounted Cossacks could not even begin to control the "mass of people half a million strong." Khodynka Field, with its open trenches, became a deathtrap:
People by the thousands fell in a ditch and ended standing literally on their heads at the bottom. Others fell straight after them and more, and more…." (1)
Others, knocked down in the pandemonium, were trampled to death or mutilated by the incessant forward motion of the crowd. In minutes, Khodynka Field resembled a battlefield, strewn with carnage. People were fainting, gasping for air, vomiting, writhing, screaming, bleeding, lying dead or dying. Thousands were wounded, over 1300 were dead.

By 10:30 a.m., Tsar Nicholas II was told of the Khodynka catastrophe. He was shocked and sorrowful. Out of respect to the victims, his first inclination was to cancel the day's activities which included not only his appearance at the Khodynka Field but a ball at the French embassy. But he gave into his advisors, his uncles, and kept to the official schedule. After all, France was Russia's only European ally, he was reminded, and Russia could not afford to offend France. Besides, to adorn the ball, the French government had gone to great lengths, sending priceless tapestries and treasures of silver plate from Paris and Versaillles, along with 100,000 roses from the south of France. (3)
So the day went forward as planned. Bodies were carted off from the Khodynka Field where the tsar made his traditional appearance as if nothing had happened.
The celebration at Khodynka Field, parades and all, went on, despite the morning's carnage.
The French "ball was opened by the Majesties dancing a quadrille," said the Minister of Finance.
The "Coronation Cup" given away at the Khodynka Field post-coronation celebration for Tsar Nicholas II. It has come to be known as the "Cup of Sorrows," commemorating the tragedy of 1300 people trampled to death that day in May of 1896.
Outward appearances aside, both the tsar and tsarina were deeply affected by the events at Khodynka. They visited the wounded in the hospitals. They paid for the burial of the dead. From the Tsar's private purse, each victim's family was remunerated. But no act of kindness could erase the terrible event from the Russian national consciousness. Many felt that the Khodynka Field Massacre was an omen that the reign of Tsar Nicholas II would not be a happy one. The tsar earned the nickname "Bloody Nicholas."

Secretly, throughout those long and difficult days, Empress Alexandra, the tsarina, had been expecting a child, her second after Olga. After the Khodynka tragedy, the Empress was greatly distressed and suffered a miscarriage. The lost baby was a boy, who, had he lived, would have become the male heir in line for the Russian throne, the boy everyone was clamoring for Alexandra to give birth to.

Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
The reign of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia (1894-1918) was doomed from the start. To begin with, "Nicky" never wanted to succeed his father as tsar. So when his 49-year-old father, Tsar Alexander III, died suddenly in November 1894, thrusting him onto the throne, Nicky was ill-disposed to rule. Instead of grabbing the reins of power, Nicky, 26, was consumed by grief. He wrote of his late father:
"It was the death of a saint! Lord, help us in these terrible days!"
Shown here with his wife Marie, Tsar Alexander III of Russia was built like a peasant. Tall and hulking, his huge body swayed when he walked. Within the palace walls, he privately dressed like a lowly laborer, wearing baggy trousers, soft blousy shirts, and a sheepskin jacket. He wore his clothes until the seams ripped only to turn around and have them patched by his royal valet. He possessed the strength of Hercules, able to bend a solid silver ruble using only his thumb.
Nicky could not collect his thoughts and act – and action was desperately needed. His first actions as tsar would set the tone of his reign. The Russian people – some of whom had been dangerously agitating for the abolition of the monarchy – needed to be told of the passing of the tsar. A funeral needed to be planned. Ministers needed to be consulted, meetings held.
Pressing as these matters were, Nicholas attended to none of them. Swallowed up in self-pity, he openly bemoaned his fate as the new tsar, pathetically begging others to help him. So lost was he in his own personal fugue that he consoled neither his mother nor his sisters. Sinking under the crushing weight of his weakness, he hid in the comfort of his fiance, Princess Alix of Hesse, and did nothing.
The German princess Alix of Hesse, engaged to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. She was his rock.
Meanwhile, Mother Nature was on the move. The tsar's corpse, still in the Livadia Palace on the Black Sea, stank horribly and had to be carried by Nicky and his uncles out of the house and into "a little corner" where it could be embalmed. Strangely,
the face of the dead tsar, which was turning black with corruption, appeared to be smiling, as if it were about to laugh"
at his firstborn son's idiocy. Tsar Alexander had wanted to pass on the crown to his second son, Michael, whom he considered the only one of the three imperial sons to possess the self-confidence of one born to rule. The old tsar knew that his son Nicky was soft and easily swayed by others.
Alas, Nicky's weaknesses would be his – and his family's – downfall.

Crowds massed in Red Square for the Coronation of Tsar Nicholas II, May 26, 1896. The Russian people were filled with coronation excitement; they were particularly enthusiastic about the public festival held four days later for the citizens. Staged in a huge meadow north of Moscow, everyone was promised free food, beer, and souvenirs.
The days preceding the coronation of Nicholas II as Russian Tsar were full of dizzying excitement. Moscow was decorated with banners proclaiming, "God Save the Tsar" and "Glory, Glory to Our Russian Tsar." There were open air concerts with choirs singing, bells ringing, parades marching, and cannons booming – joyful noise heralding the crowning of the newest Emperor of Russia. Nicholas was from the royal House of Romanovs which had ruled Russia as tsars, or caesars, since 1614.
The festivities kept Nicholas and Alexandra feverishly busy: breakfasts for 200 guests, meetings with special foreign envoys, nightly banquets and balls, state visits and musicales, a visit to the Bolshoi Ballet (where Nicholas' former mistress Mathilde Kchessinske was the featured dancer in the "The Pearl").
Alexandra was exhausted from her demanding social schedule – although she tried her best not to show it. Alix was very maternal and consumed with the care of her first baby, Olga, only five months old. Unusual for the times, Alix nursed Olga herself. She also was newly pregnant and suffering from morning sickness.
Alix was exceptionally anxious about this second pregnancy. She was under enormous pressure to produce a male heir to the Russian throne. Maybe this baby would be a boy, she prayed. Maybe that would convince her mother-in-law to like her!
Tsar Nicholas II and the Tsarina Alexandra hold their first child, Olga, born November 16, 1895. Nicholas was delighted by the birth of his first daughter but the Russian royals expressed their dissatisfaction that Alexandra had not given birth to a boy. The most vocal of the lot was Marie Feodorovna, the Dowager-Empress, Nicholas's mother. She was Alexandra's sharpest critic and fostered ugly gossip about her among the courtiers.
The Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna and her son Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, 1896. The Dowager Empress was surprised to be a widow at the age of 46, suddenly demoted from Queen of Russia. She disliked being upstaged by her daughter-in-law, Alexandra, who she considered unfit to be Empress of Russia. She had to be ordered by the court to share the Crown Jewels with Alexandra! Marie known as "Minnie" was from Denmark. She and Alexandra were polar opposites: Minnie loved court society while Alexandra preferred lying on the chaise in her Mauve Boudoir, embroidering, with her many beautiful children scattered about her.
The Russian Empire at the turn of the century was huge. The United States could be dropped into it and still leave room for China and India. When his father died in November 1894, Tsar Nicholas II became the ruler of an empire that bordered Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, Mongolia, and China while Poland, the Baltic States, and Finland were Russian territories. More than a hundred nationalities owed allegiance to him.
Russia in 1894, the year Nicholas II became Tsar.
Due to generations of Romanovs marrying other Western royal families, Nicholas II himself was less than 100th-part Russian. Alexandra, the former Alix of Hesse, was part English, part German. The Russian people did not trust Alexandra; they thought she was a German spy and hated her English ways. (1)
Coronation day began early with the traditional procession through the streets of Moscow. Nicholas, atop his white steed, rode in first, accompanied by many cavalry squadrons, amid the peeling of thousands of church bells. Next came the carriage bearing his mother. The crowd cheered loudly as the sovereign and his mother passed by. They were both wildly adored by the Russian people.
Next in line came Alexandra's coach. It was greeted with a
hush – an eloquent silence that stung like a blow, reducing Alexandra to tears. Silence – an ominous silence. Not open jeering, or insults, but the quiet of rejection." (2)
The Romanovs proceed through the streets of Moscow to the Cathedral of the Assumption for the Coronation, May 26, 1896. The crowds cheered when Nicholas then his mother passed by. Ominous silence fell, however, when Empress Alexandra's coach passed by. The Russian people were suspicious of her German roots.

1896 Coronation of Nicholas II and Alexandra Fyodorovna. 1898, Laurits Tuxen
On May 26, 1896, Nicholas and Alexandra were crowned Tsar and Tsarina of Russia in the Uspenski Cathedral in Moscow. It was one of the most magnificent pageants in Russian history. Over 7,000 guests from across the globe, including most of Europe's royalty, attended. The celebrations lasted for two weeks.

At Easter 1897, Tsar Nicholas II presented his wife with a fabulous Easter egg to commemorate the coronation.
Faberge's Coronation Egg (1897)
Nicholas was in the habit of giving his wife an Imperial Easter egg every year. But the Coronation Egg (1897) was larger and more lavish than any before. The surface was enameled primrose yellow in a field of starbursts. Trellised with bands of laurel made of gold, each intersection was marked by Imperial eagles bearing tiny diamonds on their chests.
Created by the court jeweler, Peter Carl Faberge, the exquisitely handcrafted egg had a tiny surprise inside:
a precise reproduction – under 4 inches long – of the 18th Century coach that carried Alexandra to her coronation."

Working all day and into the night, seven days a week, it took approximately 15 months just to handcraft the carriage! It was barely finished in time to be presented to the Empress. (1)

Nicky and Alix: Crazy in Love

Peterhof Palace, St. Petersburg, Russia
They first met at the 1884 wedding of his uncle to her sister. She called him Nicky; he called her "Alix" or "Sunny." Although Alix was only 12, she knew at that moment that Nicky was "The One." It was on this occasion she carved their names on the window of the Peterhof Palace.

After the wedding, Alix bid her sister and Nicky goodbye, returning to the Darmstadt Palace in Germany which was her home. Alix was a royal princess.

Five more years would pass before Princess Alix would return to Russia and see Nicky again. During that visit, the two fell even more deeply in love. Nicky was determined to make Alix his bride.
But Nicky's parents wouldn't hear of Nicky marrying a German princess. They hated Germans as did almost every Russian. But Nicky's parents weren't just any Russians. Nicky's parents were the Romanov rulers of Russia: Tsar Alexander III and Tsarina Marie Feodorovna . They were the Royal Emperor and Empress. Nicky – Nicholas Alexandrovich- being their oldest son – was the Tsarevitch – the heir to the Russian throne.
Alix returned to Germany.

More years passed. Love letters written in English flew back and forth between the lovesick pair.
Meanwhile, Nicky carried on a torrid and scandalous three-year affair with the famous Russian ballerina, Mathilda Kschessinska.
Mathilde Kschessinska (1872-1971)
Nevertheless, Nicky's heart still belonged to Alix. He wrote in his diary:
It is my dream to one day marry Alix H. I have loved her for a long time, but more deeply and strongly since 1889 when she spent six weeks in Petersburg. For a long time, I have resisted my feeling that my dearest dream will come true."
Nicky's parents continued to wage a fierce campaign to find Nicky a suitable bride. The Tsar hoped to land a bigger catch for his son than Princess Alix (even though she was his godchild!), parading a series of royal princesses in front of his son. But Nicky stood firmly against each proposed match, declaring flat out to his folks that he'd become a monk rather than marry anyone ugly and boring when he could have the tall and lovely blue-eyed beauty Princess Alix as his wife and royal consort.
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom comforts her German granddaughters, the Princesses of Hesse; left to right, Victoria, Ella, and, the youngest, Alix. Their mother, Princess Alice, had just died. Alice was Victoria's second daughter.
Meanwhile, alone in Germany, Alix was equally resolute to marry Nicky, doing her own bit in turning down royal suitors. She even stood up to her domineering grandmother, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, when the Queen tried to marry her off to her grandson, the Duke of Clarence. Alix declined to marry the Duke stating to "Granny" that she did not love him. Victoria – notorious for her royal matchmaking – surprisingly
"was proud of Alix for standing up to her, something many people, including her own son, the Prince of Wales did not do."
For five years, Tsar Alexander III had stood firmly against his son's wishes. But, in 1894, he became ill and relented, the couple announcing their engagement in April of 1894.

Alix, as a requirement for the engagement, converted from Lutheranism to the Russian Orthodox religion and took the Russian name "Alexandra Feodorovna" to strengthen her appeal to the Russian people. Nicholas and Alexandra planned a spring 1895 wedding.
But their plans were thrown in disarray by Alexander's sudden death in November and Nicholas's subsequent ascension to the throne as His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Nicholas II. Nicholas insisted that the wedding date be moved forward, as he wanted Alix by his side to help him rule. They married a swift three weeks later. He was 26. Alix, now called Empress Alexandra,was 22.

Raiders looking to strike it rich with ex-49er…
Raiders looking to strike it rich with ex-49er Harris
By Steve Corkran | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: August 19, 2008 at 10:30 p.m. | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 6:08 p.m.
ALAMEDA — Jim Plunkett was viewed by others as a first-round bust, whereas Raiders managing general partner Al Davis spotted a starting quarterback. Lyle Alzado was nothing more than a washed-up player to many, though Davis saw a line-anchoring defensive end.
Sure enough, Davis scored big on Plunkett and Alzado, as he has with so many other players either miscast, cast off or unable to find employment elsewhere in the NFL.
The latest installment in Davis' book of reclamation projects comes in the form of left offensive tackle Kwame Harris. The Raiders signed him to a multiyear contract soon after the 49ers jettisoned him after an up-and-down five-year stint.
"He just got in a way where he lost some confidence," Raiders offensive line coach Tom Cable said of Harris. "We went at it like it's a fresh start, flushed his mind out and started over. "… So far, so good."
The Raiders had other viable options when they signed Plunkett and Alzado. There is much more at stake with Harris, at least initially.
Harris, 26, is responsible for playing the most important position on the offensive line and keeping his man from getting at quarterback JaMarcus Russell at any cost. He knows all eyes are on him.
"It is implicit in that position in that the left tackle, you go up against the premier defensive lineman and you are the marquee lineman in the sense that you are protecting the quarterback's blind side," Harris said. "All those things go through your mind."
A tough task, to be sure, yet those thoughts beat the ones that bounced around Harris' mind last season.
He started five games at left tackle as a rookie in 2003 and seven in '04, then all 16 in '05 and '06 at right tackle. Last season, he spent his time on special teams and as a backup.
That provided the introspective Harris plenty of time to ponder a career that began as a first-round pick, included time at the left and right tackle spots and was derailed by the arrival of first-round draftee Joe Staley last year.
"Last year was rather difficult," Harris said. "Anybody who has gone through a year like last year would find it rather challenging. So, from that point of view, yeah, you have to take a step back and reassess yourself, see where you are, and kind of just look yourself in the mirror."
In many regards, Cable said, the biggest task he faced in getting Harris to this point was restoring his confidence. Cable knew all about Harris from Harris' college days at Stanford.
To that end, Cable told Harris to let go of the past, set his sights upon returning to the left side — Harris finished his 49ers career on the right side — and focus on the things he does best.
"He's got all the right tools," Cable said. "I told him, 'If you want to dwell on the negative, it's going to eat you up, it's going to ruin you. If you want to start over, then you'll be a great player in this league.' We've started that process.
"So, hopefully, he'll continue to get better and do what he has been doing. He has been really good for us. He's going to do some wonderful things, there's no question about that."
Russell is in his second year in the NFL. Already, he is discovering the players he can count upon most. So far, at the top of the list are tight end Zach Miller, running backs Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden and Harris, he said.
"Kwame has been doing a great job out there," Russell said. "Whenever something comes up, he's always trying to better himself. It's nice knowing I have him covering my back."

Q: Solving $a_{n}a_{n-1}=1,\, a_1=2$ The solution of the recurrence
$$a_{n}+a_{n-1}=1,\, a_1=2$$
is
$$a_n=\frac{1-3(-1)^n}{2}.$$
Could this be somehow used to solve
$$a_{n}a_{n-1}=1,\, a_1=2?$$
Logarithms would turn this to
$$\ln a_n+\ln a_{n-1}=0$$
but that doesn't seem to help.

A: Hint:
$$a_na_{n-1}=a_{n-1}a_{n-2}\implies a_n=a_{n-2}$$
So, $a_{2m}=\cdots=a_2=a_0$
and $a_{2m+1}=\cdots=?$

A: Let
$$b_n:=\frac{3\log_2a_n+1}2$$
and the equation
$$a_na_{n-1}=1$$ can be written
$$b_n+b_{n-1}=1$$ with $b_1=2$.
Hence the solution
$$b_n=\frac{1-3(-1)^n}2$$
or
$$a_n=2^{-(-1)^n}.$$

A: Not that I can see. But if you want to follow through with your first steps, we hope all $a_n$ are greater than $0$.  So $ln(a_n) + ln(a_{n-1}) = 0$ implies
$$ ln(a_n) = ln\left(\frac{1}{a_{n-1}}\right) $$
and so $a_n = 1 / a_{n-1}$.  Given initial condition, you get
$$ 2,1/2,2,1/2,... $$

A: Let $$A_n=\frac{k+r^n}{k+r^{n-1}}~~~~(1)$$
Then $$A_n A_{n-1}=1 \implies r=\pm 1. $$
$r=1$ gives trivial result $A_n=1$ which contradicts $A_2=2$.
So from (1), we $k=3$. Hence
$$A_n=\frac{3+(-1)^n}{3+(-1)^{n-1}}$$
