War is the worst enemy to education. In countries affected by civil conflicts, where adults have decided to play soldiers, children are the main victims. Children are denied the basic right to learn, go to school and play. Liberia, in western Africa, is the country with the highest percentage of children missing out on primary school, with two thirds (62 percent) of children who have never set foot in a classroom.
These figures have been published on 1st September by UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund, which has compiled the first global out-of-school ranking. The African continent, affected by a number of decades-long civil wars, featured prominently in the ranking. Liberia that has faced the Ebola epidemic, after being ravaged by a civil war, is followed by South Sudan and Eritrea, where 59 percent of children don't go to school. UNICEF has even alerted the international community because most of these children risk to be recruited by South Sudan's army, where the civil war has been threatening the population for years. Not only are children out of school, they are also trained to become child soldiers.
"For countries affected by conflict, school equips children with the knowledge and skills they need to rebuild their communities once the crisis is over", UNICEF's chief of education Jo Bourne said. In spite of this, education is one of the least funded sectors by humanitarian organisations. "Schools can also protect children from the trauma and physical dangers around them", Bourne adds.
Other countries in the list include densely-populated Afghanistan, with 46 percent of children out of school, Sudan (45 percent), Niger (38 percent) and Nigeria (34 percent in a population of more than 170 million people). In the ten worst countries for access to primary school there are 18 million children out of the 61 million children that are out of school in the whole world.
Syria is not in the top ten, but it deserves to be mentioned with its two million school-aged children (5 to 17 years) who don't attend lessons and about 600,000 children who live as refugee in nearby camps.
Access to education, along with the fight against hunger, is one of the main goals in the list that every country and international organisation in the world compiles every year. Studying and returning to school – even after a long period out of it – is fundamental, not just to rebuild societies affected by war, but also to redress economic and cultural inequalities and be able to rely on people who can build pacific and long-lasting relationships in the near future.

We leave from your hotel in Puerto Natales at approximately 07.00 to go to Hotel Lago Grey, place where you will check in (09.00). After checking in, we walk towards the boat to start sailing to the Grey Glacier, an unmissable excursion. It allows us to enjoy an incomparable landscape composed of floating icebergs, lush vegetation and imposing mountains.
From the Hotel, and for the next 40 minutes we will cross a native forest to get to the Pingo River where we cross its bridge. We then get to the shore of Gray Lake, where we will embark. This tour takes about 3 hours. After 1 hour and 15 minutes of navigation, we will be near the feet of the Grey Glacier. You will be able to appreciate from very short distance all the beauty and magnitude of the ice walls of more than 20 meters that the glacier offers as a spectacle.
Marvel at this cluster of millenary ice while enjoying a typical Pisco Sour.
Once we have arrived and we have marveled at the glacier, we begin the return to Hotel Lago Grey where a vehicle will be waiting for us to take us to lunch at Restaurant Pehoe. This restaurant invites you to enter one of the most recondite passages of the Patagonian Gastronomy and enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the Cuernos del Paine.
Once we have finished our lunch, we start our trip back to Puerto Natales, where our arrival time is at approximately 5:00 PM.


Move Home Folder or no?
Discussion in 'OS X Mavericks (10.9)' started by MrMJS, Aug 29, 2014.
Also, will time machine backup both HD's?
Suggestion: leave the superdrive alone and replace the HD with an SSD for boot/cache/apps and basic data like contacts, email, notes...et. Install an USB3 or thunderbolt drive (7200rpm) as a Library drive. Install the second external drive for TM backups (if you do not use a Time Capsule. With a USB 3 enclosure or docking station that supports UASP you can get read/write speeds that are as fast as using thunderbolt as the transport.
My rMBP setup: I left my home folder on the rMBP SSD. I simply created folders (Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents...etc) on my external library drive. All my music, videos, documents, pictures...etc. sit on the external library drive. When I do a photo shoot or field trip the images are imported to the SSD, culled, edited, and them moved to the subfolders under /Pictures on the library drive. My Lightoom catalog is on the SSD. It is backed up the library drive /Pictures folder. All my raw images (100k+) are on the library drive.
At home TM backs up both the internal SSD and external library drive to a separate 6TB drive. When I am at a shoot or field trip, I have a 1 TB drive to do TM backups of just the SSD.
IMO don't move the home folder. Seems like every time I see this done it causes problems because certain apps expect the home folder to be in the usual location. I would just move your big folders like Music and Pictures etc to the other drive.
Yes it will. When you set it up look in Time Machine options to make sure the second drive is not on the "excluded" list.


The Columbia University School of the Arts' Digital Storytelling Lab has a new podcast entitled Crossroads. Produced in collaboration with the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Crossroads is recorded before a live audience at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. The podcast is a mixture of talks, interviews, fireside chats and lab project updates that explore new forms and functions of storytelling.
Our first episode was recorded in February 2016 and features a presentation on the Lab's first annual awards program, "Digital Dozen: Breakthroughs in Storytelling." The episode includes a roundtable discussion on the future of journalism with New York magazine editor-in-chief Adam Moss and New York Times Magazine deputy editor Bill Wasik, both of whose publications were cited in the 2015 Digital Dozen, and a conversation on art and technology with New Museum curator Lauren Cornell and Rhizome director Zach Kaplan.

Where to Stay in Milan, Italy
There's much more to Milan than designer shops and glamorous locals | © Fabian Meseberg / Alamy Stock Photo
Sheree Hooker
Home to the Duomo – the city's imposing white-spired cathedral – the canals of the Navigli neighbourhood and Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, Lombardy's capital has much to offer its visitors. Wondering where to stay in Milan? We've rounded up some of the very best options.
The Square Milano Duomo
Courtesy of The Square Milano / Expedia
Housed in a commanding building with a 1940s-inspired design, the Square is a five-minute walk from the Piazza del Duomo. Rooms are achingly stylish – perfect for fashion-conscious Milan – with sleek, marble bathrooms and plush beds lined with fine fabrics. It has a standout restaurant, Arya, serving modern Italian dishes. In the summer, tables are taken to the roof so diners can look out over the city.
Breakfast available (surcharge)
Velvet Grey Boutique Hotel
Courtesy of Velvet Grey Boutique Hotel / Expedia
On Via Monte Napoleone, the city's famous upscale shopping street, the well-heeled Milanese frequent Italy's finest fashion houses. Join them with a stay at Velvet Grey Boutique Hotel, a design-led getaway in the heart of the action. Its rooms are minimalist, clean-lined and expertly executed. And if you tire of flicking through major labels (and major prices), the Royal Palace of Milan and Duomo are less than a 10-minute walk away.
Savona 18 Suites
Courtesy of Savona 18 / Expedia
Once a Milanese railing house, this boutique hotel got a makeover from Italian designer Aldo Cibic. Now it's one of the most aesthetically interesting buildings in Milan's Tortona and Navigli areas. Throughout you'll find his works and furnishings; all can be admired and some can be bought. When temperatures allow, head to the cobblestone courtyard, which has café-style seating and comfy sofas. Nearby, the Navigli neighbourhood offers some of the best nightlife in Milan.
B&B Hotel Milano Sant'Ambrogio
Courtesy of B&B Hotel Milan / Expedia
If your main concern is convenience, Hotel Milano Sant'Ambrogio is an excellent choice. Its key selling point is the location. Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is just a five-minute walk away, while the handy Sant'Ambrogio M2 Metro stop is close by. Each of its modern rooms comes with an en-suite bathroom and memory-foam mattress. It also houses a small shop and provides a generous breakfast buffet.
Combo Milano
At its core, Combo Milano is a hostel. But calling it so does it a disservice – it goes far beyond your typical budget stay. This design-led bannister house has a captivating courtyard where travellers enjoy drinks and a catch-up. Its kitchen is open until late, serving a modern, international menu. Stylish and practical dorms cater up to six. Based in Navigli, it's also in one of Milan's most popular neighbourhoods. Nearby attractions include canal-side bars and fashionable thrift stores.
Art Hotel Navigli
Courtesy of Art Hotel Navigli / Expedia
In the heart of Navigli, the Art Hotel is the perfect base to explore this storied district. The canals lie at the end of the street. It'll take you seconds to get there. But if exploring its trattorias and jazz clubs gets too much, the hotel has a spa on the sixth floor with views over Milan. Relax in its Turkish bath, sauna and sensory showers. Rooms are modern and comfortable. You'll also find pieces from contemporary artists including Salvador Dalí and Enrico Baj across the hotel.
Enterprise Hotel
Courtesy of Enterprise Hotel / Expedia
Over its history, the Enterprise Hotel has demonstrated a chameleon-like ability for change. Once a factory, then a printing works, now it's a character-filled four-star hotel. Guests stay in rooms featuring custom-made walnut furniture and marble bathrooms. There's also a spa and wellness centre on the seventh floor with large windows. Views travel to the Alps and over the top of the Duomo.
Senato Hotel
Courtesy of Senato Hotel / Expedia
Once the grand abode of the Ranza family, Senato is now a boutique hotel of monochromatic wonderfulness. Bright white neoclassical rooms are covered with a Milanese-style herringbone oak floor. Bathrooms are Carrara marble and come with an exclusive scent from Tonatto Profumi. If you can pull yourself away, head to the hotel's traditional Italian café, Senato Caffè, for an aperitivo in a snug booth. There's also an intimate patio – heated in the winter – with hydrangea and ginkgo biloba trees. The hotel sits near Milan's fashion district and the Duomo.
Della Spiga Suites by Bera Apartments
Courtesy of Della Spiga Suites / Expedia
In Milan, shopping is an art. And there's perhaps nowhere better to be than Via della Spiga. Here the world's most famous brands compete shoulder to shoulder. Della Spiga Suites is right in the thick of it. Its rooms are muted, clean but tasteful. Premium toiletries and coffee-making facilities are a nice bonus. However, it's likely you'll be spending most of your time exploring the nearby wonders. Aside from the shopping, La Scala and the Duomo are easily reached on foot.
Luxury & Liberty Duomo Apartment
Courtesy of Luxury & Liberty Apartments / Expedia
Luxury & Liberty is sandwiched between two of Milan's main draws: La Scala and Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. You can also be at the door of the Duomo in under three minutes. The newly renovated, one-bedroom apartment is decorated with Art Nouveau flourishes. It has a small but well-appointed kitchen (ideal if you'd prefer to spend your euros elsewhere). An inner courtyard is the place to be in the summer.
These recommendations were updated on November 25, 2020 to keep your travel plans fresh.


If you're considering installing a safe to protect your valuables at home or at work, one decision you'll face is the type of lock you want. Mechanical locks that use keys or combination dials have been around for centuries and continue in wide use. Many newer safes have digital locks instead. Which is the right choice? Both mechanical and digital locks do the job, so your choice becomes a matter of cost and circumstances.
Whether operated with a key or combination dial, keyed locks are secure and reliable. They're less expensive than digital locks, are rugged, and can last for generations with the proper care and maintenance. However, keys can be lost or stolen and changes in circumstances may require re-keying or new combinations requiring the services of a professional locksmith. Plus, operating a keyed or combination lock may be difficult for persons with arthritis or other impairments.
Digital locks are easy to operate, and combinations can be changed quickly and easily without the need for a locksmith. Some have lockout features that prevent opening them for a period of time after a certain number of failed attempts. Others may be able to log when safes are opened and by whom. These features make digital locks especially attractive for businesses where multiple employees and turnover may create a need to monitor or change access frequently. On the other hand, digital safes are more expensive and rely on battery power to operate. And digital "hacking" technology may make safes without lock-out features vulnerable.
Some safes even come with both digital and keyed access, so before making a final choice, take the time to consult with a security expert to discuss the best solution for your particular needs.
Locks are an important part of your security system and should be chosen carefully. Our experts have been installing and maintaining security systems for over 16 years and are happy to discuss your security needs. When you need fast, affordable locksmith services, our bonded and insured mobile locksmiths answer every call 24/7 and respond promptly; arriving with the parts, tools and know-how to get you going.

In keeping with my Augusten Burroughs theme from the last few months, I read this one, which was a memoir about his father. This, I think, was the most disturbing book of all. Maybe because of how frightening insane the author's father seemed to be. It also painted his mom and brother in a completely different light than what you get from some of this other books. I'm weirdly enjoying getting to know Augusten's family and life a little better. But the father is straight up wacko. Nevertheless, like his other books, this will probably make you a little more appreciative of your own family. :) Three of 5 salted caramels.
In typical Jodi Picoult fashion, this book is a roller coaster of emotions centered around a family who struggles with making a life-ending decision for a critically injured father on life support. The story is interspersed with excerpts from the father's journey with the wolves he's raised and lived with (hence the title). The end is exciting and emotional all at once. I really liked this one. Four of 5 salted caramels.
Okay, first off, this is the one I couldn't continue reading. It was giving me horrible anxiety. This is story of a woman who gets ill and basically "goes crazy". She is hospitalized and what the doctors think are extreme mental illness conditions and even a demonic possession. Turns out, she was suffering from a very rare auto-immune disease that attacks your brain. I stopped reading this because I was becoming so anxious over the fact that no one could figure out what was wrong with her and just were convinced she was going insane. I just couldn't take it...the thought of being helpless and not being able to figure out what was wrong...I couldn't finish the book. So, 1 salted caramel out of this one.
Real life trauma coupled with a strange new small town and "herbalists" SEEMED like a great recipe for a nice mystery novel. Unfortunately, I was left with a bit of a weird taste at the end of a book that turned out to be a lot more like an episode of The Twilight Zone. If you're a fan of the almost sci-fi/mystical plot twists of that sort of show, you will probably like this book. It started out okay then it just got weird. At the end I sort of felt like I'd wasted hours of my life reading it. I gave it 2 salted caramels.
I read Lone Wolf a couple of years ago. I liked it but it was not one of my favorite Jodi Picoult books. I mean, except for one or two, none of her books are terrible and this one definitely played into her traditional formula of morally gray family drama but I didn't love it like some others she's written.
I've read Running with Scissors but none of his other books. I might need to reconsider that.
I'm still intrigued by Brain on Fire...... I've never read an Augusten Burroughs book but Running with Scissors is on my bookshelf at home waiting.
I think I might stop with Brain on Fire too. Sounds like it would give me anxiety as well!
I really love Augusten Burroughs and still have a few more of his books to read. You're right, this one was disturbing though.
Lone Wolf and Brain on Fire sound SO interesting but at the same time disturbing.
Lone Wolf was very interesting. The Wolf angle was different but the family drama was in keeping with her normal writing style.
I bought an Augusten Burroughs book years and years ago and was never able to finish it. It just felt so random. And now that I think about it, it makes me think of how I feel about Extremely Loud & Incredible Close. The voice of the author is very similar and I struggle with it.
I recently finished Where or When by Anita Shreve, which I loved. I've been in a bit of a reading funk. I started three other books a couple months ago, but they couldn't hold my attention. I always feel guilty buying a book and then finishing it.
You are the first person who hasn't raved about Brain on Fire which is refreshing. I love different points of view.
I didn't love Lone Wolf- it was disappointing as I usually like Jodi Picoult's books a lot.

Q: Facebook custom login on Titanium mobile I'm getting familiar with Titanium mobile, and now I'm developing iOS app with it.
I want to create custom login button.
I followed some instructions on the web, but still its not working.
The code is below.
var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;
Titanium.Facebook.appid = "APP ID";
Titanium.Facebook.permissions = ['permissions here'];

var login = Ti.UI.createButton({
  backgroundImage:'facebooklogin.png',
  width:250,

win.add(login);

login.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  Titanium.Facebook.authorize();
});

Titanium.Facebook.addEventListener('login', function(e) {
        if (e.success) {
            Titanium.Facebook.requestWithGraphPath('me', {}, 'GET', function(e) {

Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley Are Married
Jasmine Ting
Chance the Rapper has officially married his longtime love, Kirsten Corley!
According to reports, the two tied the knot on Saturday in a private ceremony in Newport, California. And while Chance has yet to confirm the news on social media, Kirsten (whose account is private) has apparently shared a wedding photo of them walking down the aisle with the caption, "Mr. and Mrs."
Instagram account The Shade Room has shared photos, as well as a video from the ceremony. And as seen in these photos, among the guests present were Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, and comedian Dave Chapelle.
In a series of tweets from last Wednesday, Chance share that he and Kirsten first met when they were 9 years old, at his mother's office party back in 2003 — Kirsten's mom was his mom's boss.

But while it seemed like love at first sight, the two never met again until 2012 at SXSW in Austin, Texas. By 2015, they welcomed their daughter Kensli to the world. It wasn't until last year that the rapper popped the question.
To answer a few questions
-she was Kelly Rowland
-she was there/dancing because her mother was my mom's boss
- I never saw her again until SXSW 2012 in Austin, Texas where we met and eventually when back in Chicago we connected the dots
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Bennett!

One person was killed in a crash on West Sam Houston Parkway near Kempwood.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One person has died in a crash along the Sam Houston Parkway on the northwest side.

The Mental Breakdown Of A Very Common Man–Ordinariness Has Its Virtues But Also Its Perils
Barney Field had always thought of himself as an emotionally stable person, well-grounded in moral principle, a solid education, and a clear understanding of himself and the world around him.
His childhood was unremarkable. Barney played by the rules, colored within the lines, was dutiful and respectful to his parents, served as an altar boy, did well in school.
Barney himself was only remarkable for his ordinariness and lack of distinction. This well-behaved and polite little boy, although admired by teachers and his parents' friend, was growing up as an emotional and intellectual cipher. Even Father Brophy hoped to hear a serious sin in the confessional, but Barney only confessed the most venial ones. In fact, had confession not been indispensable preparation for Holy Communion and a sacrament itself, Father would have told Barney not to bother.
Barney's teenage years were no different. He followed every rule in the book, continued to be honorable and deferential, treated girls and women with respect, and never so much as let an elbow rest on the table. By every standard of the age, he was a model boy, citizen, and member of New Brighton society.
Barney could not remember when the irritability set in; when things did not seem quite right; when everything began to look off-kilter. Perhaps during the weekend on Cape Cod where the clambake had gone bad. Nothing he could point to really, just a feeling of displacement. He had always been taken for granted and never accorded any interest; but on the beach he was excluded, peripheral, and insignificant.
At the same time, he began to feel befuddled and adrift. Perhaps he did belong on the margins. Why, for example, did the most insolent, arrogant, and posturing boys have such sexual success? Why were rectitude and intelligent counsel dismissed as irrelevant in sexual affairs? Why was volubility so attractive? And sports? Why wasn't his own serious reflection and consideration of value?
The cracks only widened as he got older. His suspicions of became more common and more troubling. Perhaps he was a cipher or a dry well. Life could have no meaning if he had no meaning.
Yet, what might that be? It is very had to construct a personality let alone character. The genetic dice had been cast and there was no way to re-roll them until something more advantageous came up. He had to make do.
He hoped that Descartes was right. The very fact that Barney had these doubts about himself signified some existential importance. He must have a critical, analytical mind and sensitive spirit for them to have even cropped up.
Still, there was no intellectual hook to hang his queries on; no emotional rivers to follow; no kaleidoscopes to jog his sensibilities; no Borscht Belt nor no funny bone. No passion, no ambition, no obsession, no nothing.
Whereas everyone else his age was planning for the future – eyeing a mate, a job opportunity, or an investment offer – he drifted, although not unhappily. He felt no anxiety about his lack of ambition or vision, only a lassitude which, if he let himself, felt good.
Although he did not know it, Barney Field was in fact quite unique. He had inherited genes which are more essential to survival than those of his more demanding colleagues. He was the raccoon of his species. Not a great hunter or predator, neither ferocious nor intimidated; but perfectly adaptable to his surroundings – to any surroundings in fact. Prehensile, nocturnal, cunning, and opportunistic, the raccoon would certainly be the mammal to survive nuclear winter.
At college Barney was never concerned that his first choices were taken. A course on Melville would be just as good as one on Conrad. There would certainly be plenty of creamed chicken in the cafeteria if he came late. There was always seating at the polo field.
The cracks sealed themselves once Barney accepted the fact that there was no there there. Uniqueness was not his specialty, but life under the stream bank was not so bad either. Life without bother, with no demands for notion or opinion, and outside the sexual fray was not bad at all.
There is a particularly comfortable zone within the intellectual spectrum, one in which the individual is not smart enough to obsess over existential issues but too smart to bungle. The Three Bears Zone' it was called by a well-known Czech psychologist. Not many people fell within it, he noted, but those who did led very content lives.
What Dr. Milos failed to note, however, was the fluidity of the intellectual spectrum. The individual may rest comfortably well within its confines, but at times would regress or advance. Sail too close to the edge and become suddenly and morbidly anxious about death on the one end, or make foolish decisions on the other.
It was during one of those excursions that Barney first felt angst. For no reason that he could tell, he felt nervous, prickly, unsettled, and very shaky. His backyard looked spotty. The trees were twisted and nasty, and the birds flew at him. It was too windy for August.
The feeling passed, and Barney went back to his business slightly unsettled but convinced that it was the ribs or sleeping badly until it happened again, this time more disassembling and insecure than before. For a moment he couldn't remember where he was or even who he was. It wasn't so much that the garden was shifting planes and that rabbits and voles were coming out but that he was deconstructing and shifting planes.
Of course it was a panic attack, and nothing that Barney felt differed from textbook descriptions. Every attack is unique, Dr. Milos wrote in a paper written clandestinely in Prague in 1955 – clandestinely because under the Communists all psychological aberrations were due to the incompleteness of the Revolution and nothing whatsoever to do with individual, innate disturbances – and unpredictable in their phenomena. For one person it might be rabbits and voles, another birds flying backwards, and for a third paralyzing fright.
It is bad enough for a complex person to suffer panic attacks; but far worse for a very stable, settled, and uncomplicated person like Barney Field. Complex personalities, particularly the artistically gifted, see the world in unusual ways. Picasso is a good example of a presumably rational and un-psychotic personality who saw the world in a scrambled way.
Barney, however, had never seen a teapot as anything other than a teapot and a perfectly traditionally shaped one at that. White bone china, Victorian decorations, fluted spout, and slender throat. So when the garden became a distortion far more radical than Picasso ever saw it, or more weirdly assorted than Breughel's, Barney knew that something was seriously wrong.
He was ill-equipped to deal with his increasing anxiety. Such discombobulation never seemed possible or even imaginable, so he didn't have the first idea of what to make of it. He of course had read about psychological disturbances, but psychosis and schizophrenia were never more than academic categories; and as far as modern art was concerned, he was ignorant.
All of which is to say that Barney suffered more than those with intimations of craziness. He was totally, completely, and helplessly unprepared for his devilish visions.
Dr. Milos had offered no insights into this particular type of psychosis – i.e. a person with no known history of mental illness, a well-adjusted, loving childhood, and an adaptable personality which enabled him to cruise the shipping lanes with ease.
In other words, where did this sudden weirdness come from? Had it been hidden deep in Barney's subconscious for all these years? Had the balance among Id, Ego, and Superego been so perfect that his subterranean demons had been kept underground? Or was it chemical imbalance the result of some leaky endocrine valve or bad limbic plumbing?
Milos even hinted at the demonic (for which he had been roundly censured by his colleagues and the Communists). Why not consider possession, he asked?
In any case Barney went from bad to worse, was only partially salvaged by psychoactive drugs, interned in a private hospital in Connecticut for short periods over three years, and then finally committed to an asylum. His only relatives – an aunt and uncle in Branford – were surprised that such a Victorian institution still existed let alone in Connecticut; but it was they who signed the papers.
It was there that Barney Field spent the rest of the days, interrupted from his daily routines only be squads of research psychologists who wanted to learn more about how such an ordinary, uncomplicated, and very uninteresting man could have gone so far off the rails so quickly.
They had no conclusive answers and were as perplexed as Dr. Milos had been many decades earlier.
There is too little we know of the human genome, suggested one researcher, and for all we know there are bits of DNA which don't kick in for many years and then, for reasons we cannot understand now, drive the individual completely and irrevocably batty.
"Such cases [like Barney's] are impossible to explain", wrote Dr. Milos. One would hope that ordinariness would have at least one compensation – lack of anxiety – but it clearly does not. No matter how prosaic and dull one might be, it is no protection against the insidious infection of madness."

The camp of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno has cast doubt on the real intention of Supreme Court (SC) justices who testified against her in the impeachment hearing before the House of Representatives.
Lawyer Jojo Lacanilao, one of Sereno's spokespersons, stressed that the matters raised by Associate Justices Teresita De Castro, Noel Tijam and Francis Jardeleza, as well as former Associate Justice Arturo Brion, had already been resolved by the SC.
"Why they would raise a settled matter to which they assented to, reflects on the intentions behind their belated complaints," said Lacanilao in a statement on Tuesday.
Lacanilao took to task the remarks made by Justices De Castro and Tijam who accused Sereno of delaying the request of Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II to transfer the trial of Maute cases from Mindanao to Metro Manila.
De Castro said that Sereno "showed no respect and courtesy to the Court en banc" while Tijam said that the chief magistrate "arrogated" to herself Aguirre's request for not following the proper procedure.
Lacanilao pointed out that on May 29, Aguirre only filed a letter addressed to Sereno, not a petition with the High Court.
He said the letter was referred to Court Administrator Jose Midas Marquez and Assistant Court Administrator Theodore Te for recommendations.
Lacanilao noted that on June 5, all justices, including Tijam and De Castro, received Aguirre's letter, the recommendations and a draft resolution. The en banc issued the resolution a day after, he said.
"Notably, Justice Tijam affirmed that the Chief Justice was the member-in-charge of the Maute cases, contrary to Gadon's perjurious claims to the contrary. If the Chief Justice did not consult the en banc, then why did no one question the June 6 Resolution," Lacanilao said.
He also noted that De Castro, as head of the Raffle Committee, signed the minutes of the committee where the Maute case was assigned to the Chief Justice.
Lawyer Larry Gadon, the complainant in Sereno's impeachment case, accused the Chief Justice of committing culpable violation of the Constitution for allegedly delaying Aguirre's request.
For Sereno's camp, Gadon's accusation does not constitute an impeachable offense.

What Are Sealed Records?
Sealed records are not available to the public.
Sealed records are frequently required in cases involving juveniles to protect their identity.
Some employers will check to see if applicants have committed any criminal offences.
Sealed records are the normal procedure for certain types of adoptions.
Written By: Terry Masters
Sealed records are official documents that have been removed from public availability by court order. Courts often require records to be sealed in some cases to either protect the privacy of vulnerable parties or to afford a party to a case a second chance without the stigma of a prior incident remaining in the public realm. The types of records that can be sealed, the procedure for sealing them, and the effect of the seal differ by jurisdiction. Most courts generally allow records to be sealed in both civil and criminal cases.
Legal proceedings have historically been a matter of public interest. Cases are heard "in open court", and an official record is maintained that, among other things, protects the right of the public to be aware of the content and resolution of legal tribunals. This type of transparency is necessary to the operation of a trustworthy and reliable system of law, but it is not an absolute right.
In certain instances, the rights of involved parties to privacy or the need for secrecy trumps the public's right to know. Records can be sealed as a matter of course, as a proactive measure by a judge, or by request of a party to an action after demonstrating appropriate cause. For example, sealed records are the normal procedure for certain types of adoptions. A judge might also seal the records in a case of his own accord to protect the identity of a victim or grant the motion of a party to seal records in a case involving a trade secret.
Courts have a particular interest in protecting both minors and victims as well as in enabling cases to be heard without releasing information into the public realm that might lead to irreparable damage to a party's interests. Sealed records are frequently required in cases involving juveniles to protect their identity and to remove a history of offenses committed while the juvenile lacked majority. A court will also order records to be sealed to maintain a certain level of secrecy in cases requiring witness protection. In cases involving state secrets or national security, the rationale is similar. Releasing the information may cause damage to important interests that need to be protected.
The effect of a court order to seal records differs by jurisdiction. In some places, the records remain sealed unless ordered unsealed by the court. Other jurisdictions destroy sealed records, and the contents are legally considered to have never occurred.

I think it's too difficult to unseal records when necessary. I can see the point of sealed records, up to a point, but I think they should only be sealed when real harm can come to the person whose records are in question. And I don't think that happens nearly as often as lawyers would have people think it happens.
There have been cases when sealed records concealed the criminal records of people who went on to commit terrible crimes. If their records had not been sealed, it's possible they would have been caught the first time they did something, because investigators would have had a record of their prior actions and might have been able to match their current crime with previous actions. It should be easier to get hold of those records.

Premier League: Salah (Liverpool) v Lukaku (Manchester United)
Date: 14th October 2017 at 7:00am
Liverpool welcome rivals Manchester United to Anfield this Saturday (12:30) to kick off this weekend's return to Premier League action, as well as looking to bring an end to the visitors' impressive unbeaten start to the 2017-18 season.
The Reds, who have won just three of their opening seven league games, have been pinned back to consecutive 1-1 draws against Spartak Moscow (UEFA Champions League) and newly promoted Newcastle United (Premier League) respectively in their last two outings.
Meanwhile The Red Devils, who go into the game as favourites with most football betting UK sites, are looking to record their fourth straight Premier League victory on Merseyside this afternoon after thrashing rock bottom Crystal Palace 4-0 at Old Trafford last time out.
Summer signing Salah has scored six goals in 11 appearances in all competitions this term.
Jurgen Klopp splashed out a reported club-record £36.9m on AS Roma forward Mohamed Salah in the summer to bolster his attacking options, with the Egypt international returning to the Premier League after his disappointing spell at Chelsea (2014 – 2016).
Opposing boss Jose Mourinho also spent big in the previous transfer window, landing Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton in a deal worth up to £90m.
So, with both big-money signings set to go head-to-head at Anfield this afternoon, here is how forwards Salah and Lukaku match up so far this Premier League campaign…

From Guest Officer To Sports Champion
The journey of an ActiveSG staff from guest officer to Sports Champion.
Chelvam Raman took the initiative to learn new skills and is now a strong swimmer and aqua aerobics instructor.
Not someone to "only sit at one place", Chelvam Raman – who joined what was then the Singapore Sports Council as a guest officer in 2006 – would often get up from her seat behind the ticketing counter to meet and greet visitors at Delta Sports Centre. But beyond attending to enquiries, she felt she had more to give. "I don't like to be stagnant… I like to multitask," she said.
Chelvam got her chance when the Singapore Sports Council began its evolution to become Sport Singapore in 2014, broadening its mandate from managing sports facilities to growing a national movement for sport. ActiveSG Chief Lai Chin Kwang was on one of his rounds to share this vision with his staff when Chelvam seized the opportunity to expand her job scope, "quickly" volunteering to take up training. "I told him: can we start immediately?"
The 56-year-old enthusiastically learned how to run and develop fitness programmes, and trained in water safety and lifesaving skills to become a Pool Guardian. She also started assisting instructors at aqua aerobics classes.
One day, while taking over an aqua aerobics class when its instructor was unable to attend, she was spotted by Mr Lai on one of his informal visits. She was not "officially" an instructor yet, and was at first worried she would be told off. Instead, much to her relief, Mr Lai enthusiastically praised her for her initiative, and has since used her story to illustrate the growth mindset he hopes to cultivate, as part of the transformation of ActiveSG.
Today, as a senior guest officer, she also proudly bears a significant title: Sports Champion. "I never thought that I would one day be a programme instructor, but I was not afraid to try and when the opportunity came, I volunteered. And now I enjoy conducting classes."
This series is part of the PS I Love You campaign. Watch Chelvam's video on the PSD Facebook page.

It seems like there is an app for just about everything; photo sharing, calorie counting, shopping, and many, many more.
Joro, a company out of the Harvard i-Lab, has an app for a specific sort of action. Its users can track their daily carbon emissions and, in turn, help the planet.
The startup's Co-Founder and CEO, Sanchali Pal, had a chance to connect with us to talk about what impact its users can have on the environment. Pal also discussed how she and her co-founder wanted to make a difference and what their time in the i-Lab has been like for an early-stage cleantech company.
Colin Barry [CB]: What is the story behind Joro? What made the team come together to found the company?
Sanchali Pal [SP]: Joro was born when our founders met in 2017 at MIT and realized that we had been thinking about the same question from different perspectives. Many of us want to live more sustainably. But how do we "walk the walk" to create a low-carbon future? How do we know which actions can really make a difference?
I had seen the documentary Food, Inc. when I was in college and started tracking my carbon footprint in an excel spreadsheet. I had an "a-ha" moment when I realized that even small changes add up to big impact over time. By limiting my meat consumption to two meals per week for the last seven years, among other actions, I reduced the greenhouse gas emissions of taking four cars off the road.
Cressica, our CTO, grew up in rural Maine where she saw the effects of climate change on her hometown first hand, manifested in changing shorelines and growing incidences of Lyme disease. As she moved to New York and Shanghai and saw the rapid pace of urban development, she saw how disconnected we are from our climate impacts. In her research as a Ph.D. Candidate at MIT, she saw an opportunity to use the data that our smartphones are already collecting to help people better understand and act on their climate impacts.
CB: Does everyone on the team have experience working in the cleantech space or work in environmental activism?
SP: Actually, not exactly! Each of us has been on our own journeys to Joro. Cressica previously studied and practiced Engineering, Architecture, and Urban Design. She also founded a modular housing startup in China and worked on developing tools for planners and developers to improve energy efficiency.
I previously worked at a management consulting firm, Dalberg, where I focused on smart cities and emerging markets. I received my MBA from HBS, and then worked at Tesla on their battery and smart home projects before Joro.
As we've gotten deeper into the cleantech and environmental space, we've realized that part of the problem our sector has is communicating effectively. Most people don't understand what kilowatt hours are, know how many kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent their car creates, or even understand their utility bill. That's why part of what we're doing at Joro is making it easy to see where you are using energy across daily activities and realistic steps you can take to improve your impact.
CB: Now moving onto the app. If I just downloaded it, could you care to explain how it works to someone who is new to Joro?
SP: The idea behind Joro is to make tracking and improving personal carbon footprints easy and accessible. A person who downloads the app sets up automated data feeds across location, spending, and home energy, and after setting up their account, can check their daily carbon footprint as easily as they check their daily footsteps on a Fitbit. Users can also validate and improve their carbon footprint by entering information themselves if they prefer.
The app is currently in development, but anyone can sign up to request access to our beta on our website.
CB: If someone is looking to get involved with Joro today, what would you recommend?
SP: We just launched a climate pledge called #OurAccord that allows anyone to be a part of reducing carbon emissions in 2019.
You can go to ouraccord.com, and with just a few clicks, align yourself with the Paris Climate Goals for this year. The website walks you through how to reduce emissions either by committing to specific, effective actions to lower your footprint or by creating carbon credits by supporting reliable clean energy projects. If every American were to take the #OurAccord pledge, we'd achieve the Paris Goals for 2019.
We're also always looking for committed, talented, passionate people to join our team. If you or someone you know wants to help us build the tools and community to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, get in touch! If you're a full stack developer, check out our recent post.
CB: Who are the average users of Joro? Have there been any use cases that have stood out to you?
SP: Average Joro users are likely people who are already trying to live sustainably or who are eager to do more - maybe by limiting meat intake, walking and biking more, conserving energy at home, buying less stuff, recycling or composting better, the list goes on. For these users, Joro is a tool to make better choices for and to see how their small steps add up to big impact - for themselves and for the planet - over time. It's also a social platform to connect, share, and compete with friends.
As our platform grows, we envision communities working together and competing on Joro to collectively create large-scale emissions reductions. Eventually, these communities will inform companies and governments and help them make investments in a low-carbon future.
CB: Joro is part of the Harvard i-Lab and the Arthur Rock Center. What has your experience been like at the incubators?
SP: The Harvard iLab's Venture Incubation Program and the HBS Rock Center Accelerator have been incredible resources for our team.
The iLab is a very supportive environment, in which we've met students from across Harvard's schools and entrepreneurs and mentors from the Boston entrepreneurship ecosystem and benefitted from a great coworking space and community that have helped us learn and grow.
The Rock Center Accelerator's intensive approach helped us focus on what it would take to prepare to take on external financing. Going through the program over a short period of time with a limited group of teams was a great opportunity for us to hone in on our core value proposition.
CB: Could you share some advice to other startups who are looking to get involved in the cleantech space?
SP: Both MIT's Clean Energy Prize and the Cleantech Open Northeast Accelerator Program have been incredibly valuable programs for us to gain networks, resources, credibility, and community in the cleantech sector. We would certainly recommend to other cleantech startups to participate in these programs.
In Boston, MassCEC, Greentown Labs, and The Engine have also been great connectors and resources that bring together people and programming in the space.
CB: It's always interesting how a startup comes up with its name. How did the team come up with the name Joro?
SP: Joro is the goddess, protector, and personification of the earth according to Norse mythology. We found it to be a great analogy: at Joro, we're building the technology and community to empower people with the power to protect the Earth.

Finding an Unknown
Solubility test: Water (1 ml) was added too test tube, and then the unknown (2-3 drops) were also added to the test tube. A pipette was used to blow bubbles into the test tube in order to mix the solution. The solution turned cloudy white. Oil-like bubbles at the top of the solution were observed. Shift Test: In a new test tube, the Shift reagent (2 ml) was added. Then, the unknown (3-5 drops) was also added. A pipette was used to mix the solution by blowing bubbles into the test tube. The result of the Shift test was that the solution immediately urine magenta, which means altitudes are present.
Beefiest test: In another clean test tube, methanol (2-3 drops) was added. Then, the beefiest solution (1 ml) was also added, and then the unknown (5-10 drops) was added. The solution was mixed by using a pipette to blow bubbles into the test tube. Then, the solution was let sit with a cap on top. The test results were not immediately visible via a white precipitate. So, throughout the ten minute allotted beefiest test period, the solution was continually mixed with the bubbles blown through he pipette, then capped and let sit.
The result of the beefiest test was that a white precipitate formed at the top of the solution. Deform Test: In a 15 ml plastic conical vial, 1,2-demonstration (2 ml, 19. 3 mol) was added, and then the unknown (4 drops) was added. Sodium hydroxide (2 ml, 6 mol) was added. The Deform solution (3 ml) was slowly added and then diluted with water (1 0 ml). The Deform test solution was first brown from the reagent, but quickly turned yellow once mixed into the solution. Once the water was added and iced, the yellow color disappeared.
The solution was a cloudy white color. No precipitate formed during the Deform test. Synthesis reaction of a 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative: The 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone solution (5 ml) was poured into a 15 ml plastic conical vial. The unknown (0. 05 g) was added. The mixed solution was observed to be an orange color. A cap was placed onto the vial. A water bath was used to warm the mixture for five to ten minutes. In the first five minutes of the test, not a lot of precipitate had formed.
So, the aped vial was tapped, and then let sit repeatedly until enough precipitate formed. Precipitate was observed forming more and more as the solution heated and time passed. The solution was let sit to cool to room temperature, and then placed into an ice bath for a couple minutes. Vacuum filtration was used to collect crystals while a lot of water was used to wash. A small piece of litmus paper was used to check the crystal's PH. Vacuum filtration with water as a wash was utilized to wash the crystals until they turned basic. Then, the crystals were ride with filter papers.

Many organizations adopt open source for reasons like flexibility and agility. Everyone needs to do more with less. But in government, open source drives both civic engagement and government participation like never before. Because of digital, the world feels much smaller and more connected. And open source gives people the opportunity to rally around a cause, no matter where they live.
Think about how we petitioned our government before we had the We The People website. I bet you have to think pretty hard about how it was done (I do!). Now, a website has brought to life the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens. Millions of people's voices are heard. People pull together based on common concerns. The White House built We The People using Drupal and shared the code on GitHub, opening up the opportunity for other governments to easily create their own online petitioning systems.
Editor's note: Our upcoming DevBeat conference, Nov. 12-13 in San Francisco, is a hands-on developer event packed with master classes, presentations, Q&As, and hackathons, all aimed at boosting your skillset in code, security, hardware, and career development. Register today!
Now, all kinds of open government data made available through the Data.gov project makes it possible for any developer, anywhere, to create a civic app. These apps have made us see our cities and towns in a different light.
Open City is one example of a group of local volunteers who create open source apps using government data. While the group is based in Chicago, the idea is that any city can grab code from an Open City app and make it their own.
Here are a few interesting examples: Clear Streets tracks a city's plows in real time. Living outside of Boston, I know we could use an app like that! Crime in Chicago lets citizens compare crime statistics in certain areas of town, which could be useful for people making decisions about where to move their families.
What's perhaps the most gratifying is that as open-source developers, we can collaborate on projects and help people around the world. It's part of what gets us out of bed in the morning. Earlier this year, participants in DrupalCon Portland launched a website in 24 hours to help people in Moore, Okla., find transportation and housing after the tornado. Two weeks later, the site was discovered on Twitter in Germany and was repurposed to help people affected by the flooding in northern Europe. This type of project inspires us all to see how technology can make an immediate difference.
Other events, such as the National Day for Civic Hacking, encourage developers to use open government data to "collaboratively create, build, and invent." The idea that hackathons can help build and create a healthy, citizen-powered technology ecosystem within government is relatively new, and full of promise. Tim O'Reilly believes that government can escape the "vending machine" mentality (citizens put in tax dollars and get out services) by thinking of "Government as a Platform" for participation. I couldn't agree more.
Open source ideals are already spreading in governments throughout the world, with good reason. A global network of developers is motivated to help. It's one of the best examples of civic engagement. As digital citizens, we all now have the power to contribute. One person's time and talent can make a huge difference. That's a movement I'm proud to be a part of.
