Desperation to hold power fuels conflict, says Jonathan
Marie Sana February 8, 2019 Government and politics No Comments on Desperation to hold power fuels conflict, says Jonathan
"There is a vicious cycle in Africa where the struggle for political power leads to conflicts that bring up poor governance and create hardship which fuels the struggle for change of leadership, thus creating further conflicts and poor leadership."
With these words yesterday, former President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the desperation of some African leaders to hold on to power, a situation that has brought avoidable woes to the people on the continent.
Jonathan spoke in Abuja at a one-day peace conference themed "Peaceful Elections and National Development" organised by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation (GJF).
He also noted that Africa's relatively slow growth and poor performing economies are linked to the preponderance of conflicts, and that many patriotic Africans will not deny the fact that at the root of most of the conflicts ravaging the continent is the desperation that often characterises the struggle for power.
He stressed that the 10 most developed nations on this earth are those that experience the least conflict while the 10 least developed countries, many of them here in Africa, are the ones wallowing in the worst form of conflict. "The reality is that any leader who is committed to the development of his country will do everything to save it from turmoil and conflicts."
According to Jonathan, the work of the foundation focuses on credible elections, peaceful transitions, good governance, as well as promoting youth and women empowerment.
He said he had promised, upon leaving office as president in 2015, that he would be channelling his energy towards serving humanity in another form which is no less edifying, "along the lines of the focus of my life's struggles, personal philosophy and ideals."
"It is my considered view that as African leaders, we must change our approach and disposition towards stewardship. We must get to the stage where we should be more interested in developing our people, rather than ruling or just governing them. A development-minded leader is visionary and selfless. He does not seek power at all cost and will not wield it for his own sake.
"There is no gainsaying that when politicians resort to desperate measures in the bid to occupy important political positions, they run the risk of plunging their countries into serious crises that often lead to loss of lives, degradation of values as well as destruction of private and public assets.
"This breed of politicians often ignores the fact that to be patriotic is to love your country and be prepared to live and die for her honour, reputation, freedom, progress and the ascendancy of the common good. You can restore destroyed infrastructure almost to its former state or even better, but you cannot easily repair people's psyche, reconcile aggrieved persons and restore hope in a nation, once they are damaged in destructive leadership struggles," Jonathan said.
On the forthcoming general elections, Jonathan charged politicians to put Nigeria above all political considerations. "Politicians particularly those seeking elective offices must ensure that the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians is placed above their political ambition."
Jonathan warned that there would be dangerous consequences for Nigeria and Africa should things go wrong with the polls.
"For democracy to endure and be productive on the continent, African politicians and other stakeholders must realize that true heroes of leadership are not those whose desperation to impose their will endangers society, but those who have the humility to subjugate their personal ambitions to the collective interest of their nations. Our political leaders must realize that the greatest and most enduring legacy to leave behind is that of peace and development.
"We are convinced that any one, either in government or outside government, who truly loves Nigeria, will not want to play the role of the villain by lending his support to any action that instigates crises," he said.
The former president expressed worry that despite the marked improvement on the regularity and number of democratic nations, election-related violence has continued to be experienced in many African nations, often to the detriment of peaceful co-existence, economic growth and sustainable development. "Good governance is the fertile ground upon which peace and sustainable economic growth are planted."
He maintained that in a democracy, periodic, credible and peaceful election is the necessary gateway to improved governance and people-oriented development. It is reassuring to note that democracy is being consolidated on the continent, with elections now conducted routinely by many African nations, he said.
"This year, hundreds of millions of Africans will go to the polls in at least 20 nations, from the south to the north of the continent, including Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa where general elections are holding.
"As the ongoing democratic process in Nigeria unfolds, with the rest of the world watching with keen interest, we are also mindful of the worries of Nigerians on whether it would end peacefully."
The Chairman of the occasion and former head of state, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar lauded Jonathan for his statesmanship in ensuring that the 2015 general elections did not witness any violence.
He urged other African countries to emulate Jonathan not to take their people for granted when they make their decision to elect a new leader.

HAIRATAN, Afghanistan: On Feb 15, 1989, crowds of stunned onlookers watched the last Soviet troops leave Afghanistan over the Friendship Bridge – defeated after a decade of war.
"The Russians were waving and smiling at the people. It seemed they were tired of fighting," Abdul Qayum, who was a border guard in Hairatan, where the bridge crosses the Amu Darya river into what is now Uzbekistan, told AFP.
The Soviets' Dec 27, 1979 invasion – decided in secret by a select caucus of Politburo members – had been presented in official propaganda as coming to the aid of "a fraternal people" confronted by an Islamic rebellion.
"An officer from Uzbekistan told me 'guests were coming' and others on our side of the border were saying it was a Soviet troop parade and they would be returning," he said.
"There were many, many soldiers. It was impossible to count them. Those crossing into Hairatan immediately marched onwards toward Kabul. They kept crossing for days and nights," he said.
On Apr 14, 1988 the Soviet Union committed in accords signed in Geneva to withdrawing its entire contingent of more than 100,000 men by Feb 15, 1989.
The first lasted from May 15 to Aug 15, 1988.
The second was meant to start on Nov 15 but was pushed back as the mujahideen stepped up military pressure. It began, discreetly, in early December.
The conditions were difficult. The columns of vehicles heading to the border from Kabul had to confront the Salang Pass, with its altitudes of 3,600 metres, in the country's hardest winter for 16 years.
In the evening of Feb 15, when it was all over, the highest organs of the Communist authorities hailed the soldiers "who have returned home after having accomplished their patriotic and internationalist duty honestly and with courage".
"At the request of the legitimate government of Afghanistan, you protected its people, women, children, the elderly, towns and villages, you protected the national independence and sovereignty of a friendly country," they said.
But the tone was different in the Moscow press. "To the joy of the return of the soldiers are mixed the pain of losses and bitter reflections," wrote the Communist party's Pravda newspaper.
"Officers were incapable of explaining to their subordinates why they were fighting, what we were doing over there and what we wanted to achieve," said Gorbachev, who said later the invasion had been a serious "political mistake".
In Kabul "no publicity or special ceremony marked the departure of the last Soviet soldier, who left to the total indifference of officials as well as the local population," wrote an AFP special envoy in a report on Feb 15, 1989.
In Hairatan, where at 11.30am the last Soviet soldier crossed the Friendship Bridge, local merchant Mohammad Salih said their withdrawal was celebrated.
"But when we saw the civil war and heavy fighting that followed... we thought it would have been better for Afghanistan had they stayed," the 76-year-old told AFP.

Online Store DELIVERY Why you need to buy a kids bike accessory
Why you need to buy a kids bike accessory
FourFourSeconds ago, we reported on the latest developments in the battle against the dreaded cycle helmet.
The latest news is that a Dutch court has ruled that it's illegal to charge a child more for a helmet.
"A person cannot be penalised for the purchase of a bicycle helmet for children under 12 years of age," the court ruled.
This means that children under the age of 12 must not have access to a helmet unless they've got a "valid prescription" for the product, which can be obtained on-line.
In a statement, the Dutch Council of Economic Affairs, an independent body that oversees economic affairs, said that it had "received an application from the Council for the imposition of a fine of up to €60,000 for a person who is not authorised to prescribe a bicycle bicycle helmet and who has not complied with the requirements of the Directive".
The statement continued: "It is clear that the use of the bicycle helmet is associated with a number of serious health consequences.
For example, it is linked to an increased risk of head injuries, the development of traumatic brain injuries and cognitive impairment.
A bicycle helmet must be used for the maximum possible number of kilometres per year."
The Council added that the decision had been welcomed by the Dutch government, saying that it "firmly believes that it is not only a matter of individual responsibility, but of public health, that the helmet should be available to all Dutch children, including those aged between 6 and 12 years".
The statement went on to say that, "it is also important to emphasise that it will be illegal to require parents to obtain a prescription for a bicycle bike helmet for their children, but that it would be acceptable to require them to buy one for their child".
"Therefore, parents are encouraged to use a bicycle to transport their children when they are at school, on a journey, or when taking part in recreational activities.
Parents should not be penalized for the bicycle purchase of their children."
This isn't the first time the Council of European Economic Affairs has weighed in on the helmet issue.
In 2015, the body voted to extend the ban on the purchase and use of helmets for children to children under 13.

Oregon Ducks split softball games at Mary Nutter Classic
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. — The No. 17 Oregon softball team split two games Saturday at the Mary Nutter Classic, downing Texas A&M, 7-5, before a 5-0 loss to No. 23 Texas Tech.
The Ducks (10-4) opened the day with a come-from-behind win over the Aggies, rallying from a 5-2 deficit in the final two innings.
Allee Bunker had an RBI single and Lexi Wagner had a two-run single in the top of the sixth inning as Oregon tied the score 5-5.
In the seventh, Haley Cruse gave Oregon the lead when she scored as Shaye Bowden reached on a fielding error. Rachel Cid then scored the final run when Cherish Burks reached on a two-base error. Texas A&M finished with four errors to none for Oregon, which outhit the Aggies, 8-6.
Cid, Wagner and Bowden all had two hits, Bowden drove in three runs and Cid and Cruse both scored twice.
Jordan Dail went the distance in the circle, improving to 8-0 by allowing six hits and three walks while striking out five.
Against the Red Raiders, the Ducks were held to three hits by Erin Edmoundson, who struck out eight and walked none.
Texas Tech took advantage of wildness from Oregon pitcher Maddie MacGrandle, who allowed five hits but nine walks. The Red Raiders scored once in the first, two in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Oregon State 2, Cal Baptist 0
At the Libby Matson Tournament in Stockton, Calif., Mariah Mazon threw a complete-game two-hitter as the Beavers improved to 11-2.
Mazon improved to 5-2 by striking out nine and walking none.
The Beavers scored both of their runs in the bottom of the first inning. Missy Nunes doubled home Shelby Weeks, who began the inning with a walk. Nunes later scored in a passed ball.
Nunes and Jessica Garcia each had two of Oregon State's six hits. The Beavers also walked five times and didn't strike out.

Supreme Court hears open records case in Cedar Rapids police shooting
February 6, 2019 By Dar Danielson
Bill Jones.
The Iowa Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in an open records case involving the shooting by a Cedar Rapids police officer that left a man paralyzed during a traffic stop in 2016.
A Linn County District Court judge ruled that the city must turn over police investigative reports in the civil lawsuit against officer Lucas Jones in the shooting of Jermine Mitchell. The city's attorney, Bill Stone, says the release of these records are different from others as they are confidential and the city wants them kept from public view.
"We are willing to produce all the requested records to the plaintiffs as long as they are retained as confidential in the scope of this litigation — and that's the key difference," Stone says. Dashcam video showing the officer hanging onto Jones' truck as he sped away and the officer eventually shooting Jones was released by the city.
Stone says they offered an agreement to produce the requested records. "We discussed with the trial court when it came time for discovery and look at the production of possibly confidential records, we came up with this mutual protective order," Stone says. "And it doesn't merely protect the records from the city and officer Jones — it would protect the plaintiff's medical records and other confidential information."
Laura Schultes.
A grand jury declined to bring charges against officer Jones in the shooting, while the civil lawsuit filed by Mitchell and his wife says Jones acted recklessly in the shooting. Mitchell's attorney, Laura Schultes argued the city is trying to get around the law requiring them to produce the records. "We filed this case in civil litigation we served our discovery request, and defendants filed a motion for a sweeping protective order to keep a broad range of documents — some potentially covered by twenty-two-point-seven, some potentially not — hidden from the public," Schultes says.
Schultes says the district court ruling was right in requiring the city to produce the records. "The thrust of our discovery rules, the thrust underlying the high standards fore the grant of the protective order, and the thrust of the open records act, is in favor of the disclosure," according the Schultes. She says the city is trying to control the information to make it favorable to them. "The defense in their briefs raises the issue of the threat of this information getting out to the public. At this point in time the information that is out in the public is that which the defendant's have put out there. The information that they've decided that the public should know," Schulte says. "And our interest here is in getting all the information out to the public — in part through the trial process."
Justice Brent Appel told Stone the concern is that is a case of open government versus "selective open government," where the city releases only the information that is favorable to it. "Your view would be that the custodian could release selectively parts of the file and withhold other parts," Appel says. "That's not my position. We are absolutely claiming we were not going to release any peace officer's reports, unless we were ordered under a protective order, unless this court orders us to do it otherwise," Jones replied.
The Supreme Court will rule on the case at a later date.

Report Addresses Barriers to Voting for Those Diagnosed with Mental Disorders
People diagnosed with mental disorders face systemic barriers to exercising their right to vote.
Gavin Crowell-Williamson
A team of researchers from Wesleyan and Yale recently released a report outlining the voting rights of people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) in the US. Although the right to vote is considered fundamental to democracy, people diagnosed with SMIs often run into barriers to voting, causing them to be less likely to vote.
The report outlines the importance of individuals diagnosed with SMIs voting, the common obstacles preventing them from voting, and points to pertinent state and federal laws relevant to this issue. The authors suggest how voter competence laws, photo IDs, voter challenges, and incarceration can affect the voting behavior of people diagnosed with SMIs and make clinical recommendations for improving voting opportunities.
"Barriers to voting, as well as efforts to address them, are experienced by persons with SMIs not only in the United States but also worldwide," write the authors, led by Sarah Kamens at Wesleyan University.
"Means to combat these barriers in the United States include educating mental health service users and providers about the universal right to vote, federal and state laws relevant to persons with SMIs, and what to do in the cases of violation of voter rights."
People diagnosed with SMIs are entitled to the same voting rights as any other citizen and are impacted by the outcome of elections. Moreover, their voting has both personal benefits, such as promoting social and communal belonging, as well as societal benefits, including the maintenance of a fundamental pillar of democracy by accurately representing the diversity of its constituents. However, those diagnosed with SMIs are less likely to vote, and often lack access to information about voting rights/registration and political candidates, adequate transportation to polls, voter IDs and face voter competence laws.
When they do vote, people diagnosed with SMIs do so in a similar fashion to the general population, with a slight preference for liberal candidates, perhaps reflecting support for platforms highlighting public health improvements, equality, and socioeconomic prosperity for disadvantaged communities.
Several federal laws, ranging from the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the National Voter Registration Act, protect the right to vote for people with disabilities. These laws offer a host of protections, including the right to assistance with voting, registration, transit to polling locations, and submission of absentee ballots.
The National Voter Registration Act, for instance, aims to make it easier for citizens to register to vote and requires all state offices that provide state-funded programs engaged in disability services to offer voter registration.
The Hatch Act, meanwhile, is often misinterpreted. While it does prevent federal employees or agencies from engaging political activities, it does not prevent mental health professionals from discussing voting rights with patients or providing neutral assistance in voting.
State laws also significantly impact voting rights for people diagnosed with SMIs. Voter competence requirements, for instance, often impose legal restrictions on the right to vote. Just ten states have no legal restrictions on voting for people with disabilities. In most of the remaining states, only a court can determine competence, per the Doe Standard, where a judge decides whether an individual possesses an understanding of the nature and effect of voting.
"In 22 states and the District of Columbia, voting is disallowed only when a court determines that an individual lacks the capacity to vote," write the authors. "Four states ban voting by individuals deemed 'non-compos mentis,' and seven use anachronistic and stigmatizing terminology such as 'idiots,' 'unsound mind,' and 'insane persons' to restrict voting."
Some states require a photo ID to vote, which disproportionately impacts those diagnosed with SMIs who may lack financial resources to have or obtain an ID. States are required to make modifications so that voter ID laws don't discriminate against people with disabilities, though other laws, such as requirements to submit preliminary ballots, make for different voting conditions for individuals diagnosed with SMIs.
Voter challenge laws, created to protect against voter fraud, allow private citizens to challenge voter eligibility, and have incited controversy surrounding the targeting of marginalized voters. Incarceration also affects people diagnosed with SMIs who are over-represented in jails and prisons. Some states restrict voting rights of people convicted of felonies, even after a sentence reversal, and even those who are detained and retain the right to vote face difficulty receiving information about voting, an absentee ballot, or poll access.
There has been advocacy to strengthen the right to vote for those diagnosed with SMIs, including educating mental health service clients and providers about voting rights and providing information about federal and state laws and what to do when voting rights are restored to people diagnosed with SMIs.
"Mental health providers should be educated in the stipulations of the National Voter Registration Act and Hatch Act as previously highlighted," write the authors.
"Staff at inpatient hospitals and community clinics should ensure that voter registration and other informational materials are available well prior to the relevant deadline. Also, voters in states with voter ID laws may need assistance in applying for and obtaining an ID. Qualified mental health professionals can also provide assessments of voting capacity… [and] finally, in states with voter competence requirements, voting rights can be restored under state law; moreover, state voter requirements can be challenged at the federal level."

Thank you for this article. I was incarcerated at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh Wisconsin during the 2008 presidential elections.
The hospital had a long standing policy of allowing patients to stay up late so they would not miss the end of a Green Bay Packers Game. I suspected it was easier for Staff. Packers fans are notorious and I can only imagine that making an adult go to bed during the last quarter of a Packers Game was unmanageable. There are not enough Staff to dope and restrain everyone because it takes 20 of them to come at you. If every Packers Fan simultaneously decided to boycott bedtime on every unit I bet that no Staff would watch the end of a game ever.
I was watching the first presidential debate when I was told it was time for bed. Immediately I voiced my opinion on the Fact that if it were the Green Bay Packers I would be allowed to continue watching it and perhaps Politics being the Sport that actually effects our future should also be allowed as a reasonable accommodation to the bedtime rule like football.
*Football rule: If you have been watching the game from the beginning you can stay up until it ends.
The Staff agreed with me and I went to bed.
I contacted the patient advocate Larry and he got everything approved.
In Wisconsin you do not need to be registered to vote.
I watched all debates in their entirety(usually alone) and Everyone voted in the Presidential Election by absentee ballots.
We were forensic patients who were committed due to a finding of NGI. Guilty but Not guilty of a Felony due to Mental Disease or Defect.
We never lost our right to vote.
I was even allowed to stay up late to see who won the Election.

"voting rights of people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses (SMIs)" ?
It should be "voting rights of people labeled as having serious mental illnesses (SMIs)"
We should be educating people so that they never passively comply with being labeled as having ~mental illness~, or ~autism aspergers ADHD~ either.


Another tragedy has hit the sports and entertainment world. Philly-born former NBA journeyman Rasual Butler who played in the league for 13 seasons and his wife, American Idol contestant Leah Labelle have been killed. The story, first reported by TMZ, says that Butler was operating his Range Rover at high-speed before crashing in the early morning hours in Studio City, California.
At around 2 a.m., Butler reportedly lost control of his Range Rover, struck a parking meter and flipped before slamming into a wall. According to TMZ, police officers believe that Butler's car was speeding before it lost control. NBC Los Angeles reported that police said the vehicle was traveling at speeds two to three times higher than the limit.
The Los Angeles County coroner's department confirmed Butler's identity to USA Today.
Butler, 38, was drafted out of La Salle by the Miami Heat in the second round of the 2002 NBA draft. He went on to play for the Heat, Hornets, Clippers, Bulls, Raptors, Pacers, Wizards and Spurs from 2002 to 2016. Most recently, Butler was expected to play a second season in the BIG3 League.
Leah, who came in 12th in the third season of American Idol was discovered via a YouTube following. She had a single out 'Sexify' in 2012 and a self-titled debut with a joint deal with Def Jam/So So Def and Pharell Williams' label I Am Other but had released no album projects since. She sang background with Keri Hilson, Jordin Sparks and Eric Benet.


Here are some photos from my local supermarket. Hope you enjoy them.
Here is my nearest big supermarket, Emart.
There is a pretty good fruit and veg section and I can recognise most things.
More seaweed, some you pick yourself and some is prepacked.
A whole fridge of tofu.
We are lucky to have a reasonable organic section.
A very very large bag of dried chillies.
In case you don't fancy fresh seaweed, here are all the dried varieties.
Not quite sure what these are, but I think it is dried fish. And the packaging assures me that it is delicious.
Rice is very poplar. There is white sticky rice, brown sticky rice, mixed sticky rice. I picked a mid-price bag as I don't know what the difference between brands is. And I didn't go for the 20kg bag!
I am not a big fish eater so can't even identify these, I am used to fish coming filleted , sealed in a packet telling me what it is.
Kimchi is very popular here, it is picked spicy vegetables and is eaten with pretty much everything, you are even offered it at Pizza Hut with your pizza.
This is our meat counter. I was very worried about ordering from here but by pointing to what I want and holding up fingers for the amount of 100g and smiling a lot I am getting by.
Here big hunks of meat are just out. I haven't ordered anything from this bit yet.
I couldn't get far enough away in the aisle to show all the soy sauces that you can choose from.
We brought this thinking it was tomato puree. Won't be making that mistake again!
Once you have managed to pick your rice you then have to decide what type of noodles you want. This isn't all there are noodles that have been dried flat (like spaghetti) and a large fresh selection as well.
Around the freezer section they have these taster sections set up. Katrine and Gregor are very brave and will try most things. I am worried that it will be too spicy and what will I do with the sample if I really don't like it. The children just pull a face and hand it back, which makes the wonderful serving ladies laugh and smile at them. Don't think that will work with me.
You can buy cheese here but most of it is processed sliced stuff, when we first arrived they had cathedral city cheddar but that must have sold out as it is no longer there.
I brought this by mistake, from the top it is very obvious what it is but from the side it just looks like normal philadelphia. Wonder if it would make a good cheese cake?
These are at the exit of the store. They are for leaving you dog in while you go shopping!
This is in the foreign food section – anyone any idea what Irish Curry is?
Dust the floor when you walk around. I wonder if the kids would like these? I bet you could so some good slides in these.
Well, that is my alien registration done. I think! It was all very confused, Katrine, Gregor and myself were picked up by a minibus (Richard was already on it) and taken to the Ulsan Immigration Centre. There were about 20 people already there, guys Richard works with and their families and 1 representative from Hyundai to sort all the forms out. We all just milled around and then randomly called to the counter, finger printed and then told we could all leave. Apparently that is it, Richard will get our alien registration numbers tomorrow and once he has them he can sort out the shipments arriving and our proper card thingys will turn up in a week or so. Very glad Hyundai sent someone to sort it out as it would have been chaos otherwise.
The rest of the day was pretty quiet, I still haven't figured out anything to do with the kids and it is too hot and muggy to be outside long. We did make it to McDonald's for lunch and we got what we ordered. We met another family arrived from Singapore, so will try and arrange a few plays and get to know some more people quickly.
I also did another trip to Emart, our nearest supermarket, to start getting the kitchen set up. I am going to try and concentrate on what I did manage to find rather than the things I didn't. So yeah for official blue bin bags (these were tricky to get) and chocolate digestive biscuits.
Katrine is 8! It was a very early start to open presents (before hair could be brushed).
Unfortunately the pet shop (which is inside the big supermarket Emart) did not open for another 4 hours so it was a long wait. We brought the cage on Friday so it was all ready to go, as you can see, katrine is very excited.
But the wait was worth it. Introducing Hamlet the hamster.
He is a very active wee fella and seems very friendly and happy to be held.
I had brought a cake mix in Singapore but got the oven settings wrong. Which pleased Katrine enormously as we got to go to Baskin Robins for an ice cream cake.
I was going to make pizza but couldn't find all the ingredients so we were going to make do with bagel pizza. Except I brought chilli purée rather than tomato! So a quick trip to Pizza Hut ended a very good birthday.

Differentiating clinical and radiographic features of enchondroma and secondary chondrosarcoma in the foot
Donald A. Gajewski, Jeffery B. Burnette, Mark D. Murphey, H. Thomas Temple
Background: Enchondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bones of the foot. Chondrosarcoma in this area is relatively rare with malignant transformation from enchondroma occurring rarely. In contrast to similar tumors in the appendicular skeleton, it is difficult to distinguish between these two tumors when they occur in the foot. Methods: We reviewed the medical records and radiographs of all patients with enchondroma and chondrosarcoma arising from enchondroma (secondary chondrosarcoma) from the radiologic archives at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) and identified those patients with tumors involving the bones of the foot. There were 755 patients with enchondroma of which 34 (4.8%) involved the foot; there were 340 patients with secondary chondrosarcoma and 14 (4.1%) involved the foot. We compared clinical and radiographic features of both these lesions. We also compared interobserver differences not only for diagnosis but also for the presence of scalloping, fracture, cortical destruction, and mineralized matrix. Results: Size and location were statistically significant variables differentiating the two tumors (p = 0.03). Enchondromas had a mean size of 2.7 cm2. Lesions that occurred in the hindfoot and midfoot were more likely to be malignant compared to those in the forefoot. In comparing interobserver reliability, most disagreement occurred regarding the presence or absence of matrix with the examiners concurring only 51% of the time. With regard to diagnosis, the examiners' accuracy was 71% and 80%. Their accuracy increased only to 83% when they agreed. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that it is difficult to differentiate enchondroma from secondary chondrosarcoma in the foot. Concern for malignant change is warranted for cartilage bone tumors of the foot if they exceed 5 cm2, or if they arise in the midfoot or hindfoot. In these cases, we recommend either biopsy or close clinical follow up.

With regard to diagnosis, the examiners' accuracy was 71% and 80%. Their accuracy increased only to 83% when they agreed. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that it is difficult to differentiate enchondroma from secondary chondrosarcoma in the foot. Concern for malignant change is warranted for cartilage bone tumors of the foot if they exceed 5 cm2, or if they arise in the midfoot or hindfoot. In these cases, we recommend either biopsy or close clinical follow up.

Overdose Lifeline — Extension program addresses rural opioid misuse
Jenny Schlecht, Agweek, September 23, 2019
FARGO, N.D. — From 2008 to 2015, opioid prescriptions increased 59.7% in North Dakota, and enough opioids were prescribed in South Dakota in 2017 to medicate every adult in the state for 15 days, according to Strengthening the Heartland, a joint project on opioid addiction from South Dakota State University Extension and North Dakota State University Extension.
Against that backdrop, Strengthening the Heartland is trying to build awareness of opioid misuse in rural communities with training programs for adults and teens, print and online resources, webinars and more.
Extension officials from the two universities worked together to develop Strengthening the Heartland with grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Rural communities have been hit particularly hard in the opioid epidemic, and Meagan Scott, assistant professor and 4-H youth development specialist in the North Dakota State University Extension Center for 4-H Youth Development, says the difficult conditions in farming and in rural areas are considered risk factors for opioid prescription misuse. Combine that with a scarcity of mental health resources — over 90% of counties in both states are classified as mental health professional shortage areas — and the conditions are right for a problem.
"We're not really an urban state, so there's not a treatment center in every town," Scott says.
Strengthening the Heartland offers print materials, like fact sheets and a treatment resource map. The project website, https://www.sdstate.edu/strengthening-heartland, features links to state-specific resources and six recorded webinars.
Strengthening the Heartland also has people throughout both states trained to present in-person programs on opioids. The Opioid Public Health Crisis is a one-hour program for adults, featuring information about opioid misuse, risk factors and suggested prevention methods. The teen program, "This is (Not) About Drugs," targets youth in grades 6-12 about the risks of misusing prescription opioids and alternatives to substances when dealing with stress. The program also is an hour-long, and Scott calls it "eye-opening."
"Youth don't realize what a big deal it is and how addicting it is," she says.
People trained to put on the presentations include school counselors, counseling and university professionals, college students and others with an interest in the issue. More presenters are needed; requirements to become a trainer include completing online trainings and a remote training with Kourtnaye Sturgeon of Overdose Lifeline Inc. Trainers earn $100 per presentation.
For questions or to schedule a presentation in your community or school, contact brandon.henn46@gmail.com or meagan.scott@ndsu.edu.
Overdose Lifeline —"'Addiction is addiction no matter where you go': Treatment center to open in Carmel"
"There is a major lack of facilities in the community," said the Rev. Andrea Boutselis, who works with Overdose Lifeline and runs a weekly Parents of Addicted Loved Ones support group in a Carmel church. "There is nowhere that is not being affected by this problem and no town that has not been hit by this."

Blog How Adjust and Google worked together to improve the mobile ecosystem
How Adjust and Google worked together to improve the mobile ecosystem
Mobile Fraud
You may have seen Adjust's latest announcement on our product updates feed: an upgrade to our systems that filters click injections even more effectively. This update is proven to stop more fraud from affecting client's budgets (as much as 60% fraud based on click injection methodology, in fact).
But it took more than just us to make this happen. We worked with Google to share technology, data and insight that went into the creation of a new, effective filter, which enabled a new way to flush out fraud from the ecosystem.
With more collaboration like this, the industry can move forward to fight fraud in an effective way. This article is dedicated to showing just how to do it, and the results of the work we all put in. Read on for more.
How the industry re-discovered click injection
We asked Adjust's Head of Fraud, Andreas Naumann, to tell us more about what led to the collaboration.
"Well, that is a pretty simple story. At the time we were seeing very, very short click-to-first-open times (also known as click-to-install_time, or CTIT). Of course, we knew something was wrong - but only understood then that somebody was pushing in a click at the right time, with high accuracy, to make this happen."
"I thought it would be Click Injection, as I knew it from desktop web days - where software on your computer would listen to internet traffic, would find out that you're visiting a store site and then inject an affiliate link, so that they would get paid on whatever you order."
"On mobile that's also really easy to do, because you have a ton of software on your device that can simply do that. However, understanding the methods employed took a little more work."
"I had a theory about the package_added broadcast, but I didn't have an idea yet of how an app would precisely exploit the system to make this happen. That's when we reached out to Google."
"We sent them a huge package of data that showed what we were seeing. As Google wanted to deal with the exploit, they asked us what we would need to mitigate the problem in the meantime. To answer, we requested timestamps for when an install finished (before the broadcast gets triggered) and the time when the app download starts."
"Google provided us with exactly that: the install begin time (defined as the time when the user clicked the download button in the Google Play Store), and the install finish time (which is available on the device). Since these two times mark the user interaction before a possible injection they would be perfect to use for accurate attribution (by removing attribution to clicks happening after these timestamps)."
"Google also began working on securing the exploits in future Android versions, but wanted to give attribution providers the chance to fix attribution manipulation in the meantime. This is because users wouldn't necessarily have the most up-to-date version on their device."
"For this, we needed the timestamps of the last user interaction before injection points. So, the timestamp of when the install finishes on the device before the broadcast, and the timestamp of when the user clicked the download button on the Play Store (which is before the content provider gets into action)."
"Fortunately, later the same year, Google came back with the documentation of a timestamp of when the app was installed. And a couple of months after that, on November 20th, 2017, Google changed from the broadcast for the referrer to the Referrer API, and released the API, which made the referrer (and the timestamp of when the user clicked the download button in the Play Store) available to the ecosystem as a whole."
"Google even one-upped us on our own request, and gave us the timestamp of when the user has been redirected into the Play Store. With the secured referrer and both timestamps now freely available any app developer or MMP could now deterministically remove click injection from attribution."
Adjust's new Click Injection filter
The update to Adjust's Click Injection filter utilizes Google's `install_begin` timestamp, which was made available in Google's new Play Referrer API.
This update allows us to stop the Content Provider exploit by denying attribution of an install to sources that deliver a click between the 'install_begin' timestamp and the first open of an app by a user.
What success have we seen so far?
We've been testing the new filter with a select group of clients who were allowed access to the beta version, and the results have been encouraging.
Comparing the data from 30 days before the feature was deployed for the beta test, and for 30 days after, we see on average a 48% increase in engagements blocked daily by the new filter.
At its peak, the latest filter stopped nearly 14000 fraudulent installs in a single day. Over time, the updated filter prevented 159774 installs over thirty days, 46% more in total than the previous iteration.
In essence, the new filter has so far proven a capable upgrade, helping our clients to stop more mobile ad fraud from affecting their campaigns, and their bottom line.

It has been quite a ride! Ever since I met my spirit guide, Albert, disguised as a homeless man, that fateful day in 2007, my life has never been the same. I went from being a buttoned-down, straight-laced corporate lawyer to an author who has published four books (including this one) about my dialogue and subsequent astral travels with Albert.
Once I decided to come out of the spiritual closet there was no turning back, and I have no regrets whatsoever. I have lost a few friends along the way (some of whom likely think I am suffering from an early onset of dementia), but I have gained many new friends who have encouraged me to continue writing about the revelations from Albert and the other wise souls I have met during my travels.
This book is a sequel to my first three books, Dancing on a Stamp, Dancing Forever with Spirit, and Dance of Heavenly Bliss, as it chronicles my most recent astral adventures with Albert. As with the first three books, Albert had a carefully-planned agenda all mapped out—designed to teach me (and all of humankind) a lesson or to provide us with a nugget of wisdom to help us understand who we are and why we are having a human journey on this planet.


Ayushman Bharat Programme has components to increase accessibility, availability and affordability of healthcare facilites. A fast track and successful implementation of this programme has potential to accelerate Indias progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), writes Chandrakant Lahariya, National Professional Officer, Universal Health Coverage, World Health Organisation, India, for Elets News Network (ENN).
The constitution of the World Health Organisation (WHO) came into force on 7 April, 1948, the day which is now globally commemorated as the World Health Day. Every year, WHO selects a theme for the World Health Day (WHD). The theme of WHD2018 is Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere and slogan is #HealthForAll. Throughout 2018, WHO aims to inspire, motivate and guide stakeholders to make commitments towards universal health coverage (UHC).
The UHC aims that all people have access to needed promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that people do not suffer financial hardship when paying for these services.
In the recent times, UHC received global attention as an idea and aspiration with the WHOs World Health Assembly 2005 resolution.
This was further reinforced by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution passed on UHC on 12 December 2012. The UNGA resolution was a landmark step as it broadened the scope of UHC agenda from the ambit of Health Ministers to the heads of the State and Ministers of Foreign Affairs, who are part of UNGA. To commemorate UNGA resolution on UHC, 12 December is now globally commemorated as UHC day.
Understandably, the UHC has found a place in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda as well as health goal 3 (or SDG-3). A specific target in SDG-3 on UHC is often considered overarching for all other targets in the health goal. Among experts and academicians, the UHC is largely well understood. However, to make substantial progress in this direction, it needs to be understood, equally well, by elected representatives and common men/women.
Lets understand what achieving UHC would mean to a poor and elderly widow living in a tribal village in India.
To her, UHC would mean that she can have access to desired health services within acceptable distance and time frame. Her decision to seek healthcare services and the choice of selecting a health facility would not depend upon health problem, place of living, or income level. She would have enough choice of providers and when she would need specialist care, it would be facilitated by the first level of providers.
When availing the health services from licensed providers, she would not have to worry about the quality and would have reasonable assurance that the Government would have mechanisms in place to ensure quality of services. Her decision to use health services would not be dependent upon her financial status and she would have sufficient confidence that access to services would be within her financial affordability and the use of health services would not make her poor.
Programmatically, Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) in India could be used as a good analogy to explain what it might mean with UHC. Under UIP in India, the Government offers a select number of vaccines to all children across the country. The additional vaccines are available in the private sector on payment basis. The vaccines in UIP are delivered through designated health facilities.
The quality of these vaccines and services from all providers is regulated and assured by the Government. People make a free choice to get their children vaccinated at one of the facilities " either in public or the private sector. Majority of the parents prefer the Government facilities for vaccination.
However, a few choose private sector. If they attend the Government facilities, the vaccines are free for them. However, they have to pay for these vaccines, and also for the vaccines which are not a part of the Government programme, if they choose to get their child vaccinated at a private facility. With this, nearly 85-90 per cent of vaccination services are delivered by the Government providers. There is no evidence or indication that any family has ever become poor due to access to vaccination services.
However, UHC should not be confused with a single programme or scheme and it is not meant to achieve UHC for immunisation or UHC for tuberculosis. It is about agreed essential packages, which can cater majority of health needs of the population. UHC also ensures that people do not have to choose between buying basic needs of life such as food or accessing the needed health services. UHC is about increasing accessibility, availability of health services and providing appropriate care for the people. The countries should aim to achieve UHC in the time-bound manner.
The Government of India has recently announced Ayushman Bharat Program, which has components to set up 1,50,000 health and wellness centres (HWCs) to provide a broad range of primary healthcare services. It has provision to provide financial coverage of up to Rs 5,00,000 for nearly 100 million families for the cost of secondary and tertiary level hospitalisation through National Health Protection Mission (NHPM). This program has components to increase accessibility, availability and affordability of all three types of health services (primary, secondary and tertiary) in India. Therefore, a fast track and successful implementation of Ayushman Bharat program has potential to accelerate Indias progress towards UHC.
The WHD2018 provides another opportunity to make commitment towards universal health coverage in India. What the Governments at both national and state levels and other stakeholders (including government and citizen) will do collectively, now and in the time ahead, will determine the health status and healthseeking behaviour of that old tribal widow woman in a faraway remote village in India.
The day, when she would not have to worry about health services, would be the day when the country (India) can boast to have achieved Universal Health Coverage.

Homeowners Vent on Water Bill & Service | News
Homeowners Vent on Water Bill & Service
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010, 10:07am
Topics: News
ATLANTA -- Homeowners from seven Buckhead communities, frustrated with high water bills, and issues with customer service met face-to-face late Monday with Atlanta's Watershed Commissioner Rob Hunter for more than two hours, trying to get answers.
The meeting was put together by 11Alive's Bill Liss along with Wildwood community homeowner Bill Lucas.
Hunter led off the meeting with an assurance that customer service representatives who don't make the grade won't stay on the payroll.
"Every call that is made is recorded. If you call, we will go back and review that tape. We not only discipline people, we fire people," Hunter said.
One angry homeowner, Kevin Wade, says his family was away for 10 days, but that the resulting water bill for that particular month added up to more than $300.
"I am not a convinced or happy consumer. I have no choice but to pay my bill," Wade said. "This is $385. They told me if I didn't pay it in full, my water would be cut off."
"The customer service rep who is reviewing that bill - we are going to work through that," Hunter said in response.
Homeowners found it difficult to contain their frustration.
"It should never have come to this. If you had the systems, the technology, the staffing and all the technical things that you went thru at the beginning 98 percent accuracy, we should not be here. So there is clearly something wrong in the system," said another homeowner.
Hunter said many high bills come from summer watering and no irrigation meters that cut the cost.
"You go thru the neighborhoods like our people did looking at this and you don't have to be a genius to see who watering and is who is not," Hunter said.
Many homeowners insist they don't water anything and still end up with $900 water bills. Hunter says that Atlanta Watershed Management will review each case individually.
Homeowners said they would wait and see.

The Collection of Folklore Records, which is the largest folklore archive in Belarus, was founded in 1957 when the Institute of Art, Ethnography, and Folklore — named after K. Krapiva — was established at the Belarusian Academy of Sciences. The Collection belongs to the Department of Folklore and Culture of the Slavic peoples. The Collection of Folklore Records contains materials from Institute staff field expeditions (1960–2016), manuscripts which were sent to the 'Best Folklore Collector' contest, materials from the archives of Belarusian universities, and private archives donated by writers, cultural figures, researchers, etc. In 2001 the Collection obtained heritage status for its contribution to National Sciences.
The Collection of Folklore Records covers all aspects of folklore, and includes manuscripts, photographs, musical note transcripts, and audio and video recordings. Most of the items are of Belarusian folklore, but there are also collections of Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Jewish, and Gypsy folklore. It contains more than thirty thousand rare sound recordings of ethnic folklore, which were made during field expeditions in Belarus and neighbouring countries from the early 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. The Department of Folklore and Culture of the Slavic peoples is currently in the process of digitising the materials of the Collection and making the catalogue database available online.
