The humble apostrophe may be small and trivial to some, but its correct usage brings disproportionate pleasure to all us grammar geeks.
My personal bugbears are apostrophes used in plural nouns or decades (1980's makes me cringe every time), or when it's is used instead of its and vice versa.
Apostrophe mistakes are everywhere – in newspapers, adverts and promotional flyers, on shop signs, menus and van livery… And let's not even get started on websites and social media!
So it seemed only fitting that my first grammar-based blog should be devoted to the thorny subject of when and where to use apostrophes and – equally important – when NOT to use them.
They are NOT used for possessive pronouns (like hers), noun plurals, proper names or numbers.
This handy infographic by Mary Kay Mann neatly summarises apostrophe rules with the help of some cute feline friends.
In particular, I like the explanation she gives for joint possession but the one not properly explained here is the use of apostrophes with all-capital abbreviations. Mary recommends using an apostrophe with acronyms containing full stops but doesn't cover what to do in the case of those without. The general rule is not to add an apostrophe to acronym plurals such as ABCs or GCSEs.
Hopefully this answers any questions you had about when and where to use apostrophes. If you're still unsure about any of the rules, let me know in the comments below and I'll do my best to help.


WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has proposed streamlining the annual stress tests that it conducts to see if the nation's largest financial firms can survive a severe recession.
Randal Quarles, selected by President Trump to be the Fed's vice chairman for financial supervision, said Tuesday that the changes are being put forward in an effort to ensure the central bank's regulatory measures are as "simple and transparent" as possible.
The proposal would cut the number of capital-related requirements large banks must meet from the current 24 to 14. The Fed will consider putting it into effect after a 60-day comment period ends.
The proposal is the first major rules change for big banks that the Fed has considered since Trump took office vowing to eliminate regulations seen as burdensome.
The proposed rules change is "a good example of how our work can be done more efficiently and effectively, and in a way that bolsters the resiliency of the financial system," Quarles said in a statement.
The Fed said the proposed change would introduce a "stress capital buffer" which would integrate the results from the annual stress tests with the Fed's other capital requirements for banks.
Currently, bank holding companies with more than $50 billion in total assets undergo an annual stress test run by the Fed to determine whether they would be able to survive a severe economic downturn. The stress tests began in 2009, the year after the worst financial crisis in seven decades plunged the country into the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
A Democratic-controlled Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 in an effort to overhaul banking regulations and prevent a future financial crisis. However, Republicans contended that the law went too far and had weakened the economic recovery by making it harder for banks to make loans. Trump campaigned in 2016 on a pledge to roll back the act, which he called a disaster.
Quarles, Trump's first nomination to the seven-member Fed board, has taken the position of vice chairman for supervision, the central bank's top regulatory post. Quarles has said Dodd-Frank should be reformed but not scrapped.


For years, good design was a bonus for companies, especially for large enterprise. They simply didn't see the value and focused mostly on the sales process (the end point) rather than the brand.
Years before I entered my career in design and marketing, I was in tech sales—inside and outside. I hated it. Perhaps it was the particular industry or the particular decade, but whatever the case, it was dull. My job was to sell PCs, servers, storage and memory from the likes of HP, Compaq, Dell, and others I have now forgotten. I can still remember reading through the sales materials and 'slicks' the companies would send out—glossy white paper stock, small type bullet lists of specs, and small, beige thumbnail image of the systems (nothing to look at here folks, just a box). Suffice to say, design wasn't important in sales back then.
Eventually, marketers realized that enterprise people are consumers too, why not market the same way Apple and Chevy do? So, what's my point? Design should help sell. And it doesn't matter what your industry: SaaS, Alt Energy, AI, Robotics, Healthcare, and consumer. To compete today, you need to compete at the most basic level starting with your visual brand—what do you look and feel like to your customer?
Today, things have improved on the design front. Savvy companies are leading with a design thinking approach. This mentality now permeates organizations from the top to the bottom and is an essential strategy for startups and mature companies alike. Products are designed and engineered with the user in mind to provide better, more intuitive experiences.
As products become more sophisticated, and marketing becomes more nuanced, the need to provide better user experiences becomes more important than ever. Good design throughout the entire sales experience; branding, email marketing, website design, shopping cart, unboxing, customer support and more are now all part of the selling process—and good design sells.


The contributions contained in this special edition provide an extensive overview of land reform, especially in their introductory sections - before delving into the more technical aspects. However, a very brief note on the issue of Land Reform in South Africa might be beneficial for foreign readers. As in most other areas of the world, ownership of and access to land is an important issue in South Africa. This is especially topical in South Africa due to the fact that the racial segregation policies and laws of the past had the effect of removing people from their land, of restricting their access to land, and also in most instances of prohibiting their ownership of land. Ever since the abolition of "apartheid" and the introduction of the new, democratic dispensation, the initiative of "land reform" has been identified as requiring actively promotion in order to address these injustices of the past. Mandated by the Constitution and implemented through legislation, the South African Land Reform Programme has seen many developments over the past few years. While it is clear that much has been done to address these issues, it is also clear that current land reform strategies have not have the intended effect and would need to be adapted before this important programme is resumed. The Green Paper on Land Reform of 2011 is one of the instruments that has been used to create new interest and public engagement both in Land Reform, the development of better public policy and - eventually - of legislation. In the context of this brief description of the existing situation, this issue focusses on the most pressing aspects of land reform at the moment.

The latest work "Ladle's Gumption" has been released, for the general public to watch, see and criticize!
A couple of months in the making process, after a year of ideas coming together. During this productive 2nd year of artistic residency at the DoJ art college the series evolved from silver, inche long, bottomless spoons to cast bronze, foot long, ladles! The series will be on show in the Lighthouse (AIR16), Glasgow until the 1st of June and simultaneous at the Cooper Gallery during the degree show week at DJCAD. The work is accompanied with a video detailing the technique used for the cast bronze, done in the foundry facilities of the art colege with the support and guidance of Roddy Mathieson, the college casting expert.
This body of work came into being through an intuitive dialogue with the materials that it is composed of, that is, wood and metal. The empathy, or lack of it, between people, is the starting point for a jaunt around the kitchen table. Ladles are quite analogous to people, their behaviour and spirit, both collective in nature and yet individual in body. The making process was a crucial part of the project, labour intensive but highly rewarding techniques were employed, such as sand casting and wood spinning. The results are presented in a way that resembles the ordinary and the everyday, with a focus on textured surfaces and subdued tones.
The modern, mundane and ordinary are the root inspiration. Our life incased, as an individual being, where we feel strong and untouchable, or in collective, open to the breeze and its spring allergies. The contact with the material is of extreme importance, it takes over the idea from a blurred moment, somewhere between the start and finish of the 1st piece of work, what still not sure if good or not, but seems to make near complete sense. As if the material leads the way once the mind manages to get the hands to start making.

Bishop who sold 'protection kits' as fake cure for Covid-19 found guilty of fraud
Thu Dec 08 2022 by Kelly Valencia
A London pastor who told his congregation they would die from Covid if they didn't buy his "miraculous" cure for the virus, has been found guilty of fraud.
In 2021, Bishop Climate Wiseman told believers at Kingdom Church in Camberwell, south London, he had found the cure for Covid-19: an olive oil mixture of cedar wood and hyssop.
The 47-year-old sold the mixture for £91, marketing it as a "divine cleansing oil" and "plague protection oil". The oil was part of a "divine plague protection kit" which had a prayer card and a piece of red yarn.
Pastor Climate, who denied any wrongdoing, told the court God had showed him he was a prophet able to perform various miracles, including curing coronavirus.
But the church leader was found guilty of fraud between March 23 2020 and March 24 in 2021 by a jury at Inner London Crown Court.
Judge Nigel Peters KC, said he was carrying out the fraud when "there was fear amongst the public in this country".
"This was being touted at a time when the public in this country were under the most intense pressure as to what would happen tomorrow," he said.
Southwark councillor Evelyn Akoto, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said after the verdict: "There were a lot of vulnerable people at that time who were really scared and didn't know where to turn.
"And this was a potential cure, so a lot of people believed in it, unfortunately, and succumbed to pay high costs for something we know doesn't work.
"We're absolutely delighted that we've got this guilty verdict."
"I think it's important to highlight that we're not after a faith or a faith organisation as such but this is about an individual person and what he has done."

Up front, it should be noted that honourable mentions who almost made this final top ten include Dustin Byfuglien, Carlo Colaiacovo, Petteri Nokelainen, and Lubomir Visnovsky.
Now this may not be the coolest looking name on the list. And it probably isn't the hardest to say properly either. But, when you say it properly, it just sounds awesome. At 5'8″, 176 pounds soaking wet, St. Louis has had to overcome tremendous odds just to play in the NHL. The native of Laval, Quebec, has won numerous awards over his pro career, with six great ones coming in the 2003-2004 season alone. In that one season, he was a First-Team All Star, won the Bud Light Plus/Minus award, the Lester B. Pearson, the Art Ross Trophy, the Hart Trophy, and the Stanley Cup. He has also won two Lady Byng Awards. When he was growing up, there weren't many people who saw that coming. St. Louis is now 36 years old, and is nearing the end of his playing career. However, to me, the name has some great flow to it when you say it aloud, meaning he's a solid fit to start this list.
Coincidentally, Khabibulin also won the Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003-2004. Before that, he also won an Olympic gold medal in 1992. The 39 year-old veteran goaltender is a four-time NHL All Star as well. Just to make his name sound even better, you now know that his middle name is Ivanovich. Put it all together, and you have Nikolai Ivanovich Khabibulin. Cool name right? I thought so too.
Tallest player in NHL history? Check. The league's number one shut-down defenseman? Check. One thousand career games played? An awesome name? Check, and check. Zdeno Chara is a beast on the ice, and in the last few years, has become arguably the best blueliner in the league. At 6'9″, 255 pounds, Chara is a massive presence on the blueline. The native of Slovakia also won the Norris Trophy in the 2008-2009 season with the Bruins. His first name is the leading factor as to why he made this list; who else do you know that is named Zdeno? Most of us probably can't answer that. Besides having a cool name, Chara is also known for a very interesting fact: he speaks seven languages! Big "Z" is fluent in Slovak, Czech, Polish, Swedish, Russian, German, and English.
His real name isn't actually Alexei. It's Oleksiy Volodymyrovych Ponikarovsky. You can't deny that it's a huge name, but it's also pretty cool. A native of Kiev, Ukraine, the 31-year-old Ponikarovsky was just recently traded to the Devils from the Carolina Hurricanes. At 6'4″, 220 pounds, "Poni" is one of the larger wingers in the league, and just passed the 600 career game mark last week.
Just listen to someone such as Doc Emerick from NBC Sports pronounce Bobrovsky's name, and you'll hear exactly where I'm coming from. With a name like Bobrovsky, colour commentators and fans from around the world just love to say his name aloud. With him being a goaltender, that happens pretty often. He came to the Flyers as an undrafted free agent, and is a native of Novokuznetsk, Russia. Though Ilya Bryzgalov (who came very close to making this final list) is the Flyer's starter, Bobrovsky has the potential to be a full-time starting goalie in the NHL someday.
The key to this name is pronouncing it correctly. If you say it as Voy-tek Voll-skee, congratulations, because you're doing it right. The native of Zabrze, Poland, is currently in his seventh professional season, and is with his fourth NHL team. Before coming to the pros, Wolski tore it up in major junior while playing for the Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League. A first-round selection in 2004 by the Colorado Avalanche, Wolski is still trying to prove he can live up to the expectations that come with being a top pick.
Now Rob Klinkhammer may not be a full-time Ottawa Senator at the moment, but he has played nine games for them this season. With a name like Klinkhammer, it's hard to keep him off this list. He's a 6'3″, 214 pound left winger from Lethbridge, Alberta, who has 35 points in 35 games for Binghamton this year. Though he may not be the biggest name on this list (in more ways than one), after going through my original list of over 100 names, Klinkhammer just had to be in the top ten.
Like Klinkhammer, Hartikainen is not a full-time NHL player. However, once again, with a name like Teemu Hartikainen, he can't be held off this list. The Kuopio, Finland native has played 10 games with the Oilers this season, recording three assists in the process. In 48 AHL games so far, the 6'1″, 215 pound Hartikainen has 30 points. You may recognize his name from the 2009 World Juniors, where he led Team Finland in points with nine of them in six tournament games.
For some reason, Niederreiter just hasn't been able to put up very good numbers in the NHL yet. Regardless, he has still played 48 games with the Islanders this season, and also has one of the best names in the league. A native of Chur, Switzerland, Niederreiter was the Isles fifth overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and is the highest drafted Swiss player in NHL history. With only one point to his credit this season, he clearly hasn't performed as well as he had hoped. With the American Hockey League's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, he has four points in six games. "I'm proud to be an Islander and I'm proud of myself that I stayed here the whole season," he said in a quote obtained from Newsday. "I just have to do my best to stay in the lineup, work hard and do what the coaches ask. That's all I can do." Don't worry Nino, with your major-junior accomplishments, and with a name like yours, you have a lot to be proud of.
A round of applause for Calvin Shane Clutterbuck, as he has the best name in the National Hockey League. Yes, it's mostly because of his surname, but seriously, this is a real hockey player's name. Say it aloud, hockey fans, because it sounds pretty good. As Don Cherry says, it's "the prototypical hockey player name." The native of Welland, Ontario may mostly be known for his name, but, as you may have noticed, he's also a pretty good hockey player. Clutterbuck broke the NHL record for hits in the 2008–09 season with 356, and, just to make Cherry even prouder, almost all of them are clean checks. Congrats Cal, you (and your parents) really earned the right to say that you have the best name in the NHL.
That rounds out The 10 Best Names In The NHL. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I always love feedback, so feel free to comment below or send me an e-mail if you have any questions.

Q: Count number of cells that match criteria with nested IF and COUNTIF statements I'm trying to use an excel formula to count the number of cells in a given range (let's say T132:T134) that match a specific line of text, however cells should only be counted if in a different range (say F132:F134) the corresponding cell in the same row is different from a specific line of text. Here is what I am trying to do:
=IF(T132:T134<>"Not applied";COUNTIF(F132:F134;"*WN(1)*"))

which should count the number of cells in the range F132:F134 that are equal to "WN(1)" only if the corresponding cell in the range T132:T134 is different from "Not applied". However this does not work, but if I apply the same expression to specific cells it works without any problem, as follows:
=IF(T134<>"Not applied";COUNTIF(F134;"*WN(1)*"))

Is there any way to apply this principle to a range of cells, such as the one in the example that does not work?

A: Didnt you meant to use COUNTIFS?:
=COUNTIFS(T132:T134,"<>Not applied",F132:F134,"WN(1)")

Using wildcards like * makes for matches that are not necessarily equal. If you did meant to search within a cells content you can apply the wildcard again like so:
=COUNTIFS(T132:T134,"<>Not applied",F132:F134,"*WN(1)*")

When is International Men's Day?
International Women's Day is March 8, but men shouldn't feel left out

It's International Women's Day on March 8 - which means that it's time for the floodgates to once again re-open, as men all over the world take to the internet to ask when it's International Men's Day.
Well, don't worry guys, as you'll have your own day to celebrate later this year. International Men's Day was created in the early nineties to focus on the health of men and boys, as well as to improve gender relations and equality between the sexes.
The International Men's Day website reads: "It is an occasion for men to celebrate their achievements and contributions, in particular their contributions to community, family, marriage, and child care while highlighting the discrimination against them."

The day is celebrated every year on November 19 in more than 70 countries. Each year has a special theme - and this year, that theme is "positive male role models".
As reported by Kent Live, a spokesman said: "Many boys today don't know what it means to be a man because they don't have a man in their lives. Sadly, children will go to bed tonight without saying goodnight to their father because he just isn't there.
(Image: omgimages)
"Even in homes where the father is present, research shows that the average father spends less than 10 minutes a day one-on-one with his child. In our society, emotional and spiritual fatherlessness is becoming the norm. Many of today's fathers did not have positive role models to show them how to be a father, so they are not there to show their children what it means to be a father.

"Studies have shown that involvement of a father or a positive male role model has profound effects on children. Father-child interaction promotes a child's physical well-being, perceptual ability and competency for relating with others. Furthermore, these children demonstrate greater ability to take initiative and evidence self-control."
International Men's Day UK supports the global theme, and addresses issues such as the male suicide rate, challenges in education, life expectancy, male victims of violence and negative portrayals of men, boys and fathers.

A PRG interview produced in Toronto in late June has received some media attention including news sites linked to the above graphics. This particular interview needs clarification as it comes at a critical time during the presidential campaign and PRG's political initiative to put the Disclosure imperative into that campaign.
There is an unwritten rule that one should avoid Hitler and Christ when making secular analogies. It's a good rule one breaks at one's peril. The analogy in question is about Disclosure - the formal acknowledgement of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race by heads of state of nations. This will be an event so profound it is difficult to find historical comparison.
According to written record exactly two thousand years ago a young man living in the Middle East was but a few years from initiating a series of actions that would ultimately change the world view, for better or worse, of hundreds of millions of people over hundreds of years - the Christ event. Disclosure will change the world view, for better or worse, of seven billion people in a matter of months. The "better or worse" aspect depends upon what people do with their new world view.
PRG has used this analogy on a few occasions to convey the power of Disclosure as a change agent. Usually it goes well. In this instance the interview took place after two days with little sleep and a 30 hour travel odyssey from the West Coast to Toronto involving three airlines, two long layovers, a lightning storm, and a cancelled flight. Which is to say PRG was not at the top of its game, not only regarding the analogy but most of the interview. Much of the language was inartful.
That said, the Christ analogy was intentional for good reason. As of the end of June the media coverage of the Clinton/ET/Rockefeller Initiative connection had fallen off. The last relevant statement from the Clinton team was from John Podesta on June 2 at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. The debates were over, Clinton was avoiding press conferences, the nominating conventions were a few weeks away, and the television debate and forum moderators had refused to address the issue with the candidate. It was apparent to PRG the Clinton team was going to go silent on the ET issue unless new pressure was applied. And that is exactly what happened and remains the case as of this Update. The ET issue is not the only one on the receiving end of this strategy. See Hillary Clinton's run-out-the-clock strategy - Annie Karni, Politico, August 24, 2016.
The analogy was put in play in order to get new attention from a particular sector of the media - the news tabloids. Before you hold your nose, consider this. We live an in era of media like no other. Think of a broad and continuous spectrum with the top tier, mainstream news venues at one end and the extreme tabloids at the other. In between is a vast array of media sectors, some of which did not exist a few decades ago, and all of it is having impact on the affairs of people and nations. Political change cannot occur without engagement of the greater part of this spectrum.
Most people know The Times of London is at or near the pinnacle of mainstream media prestige. Most people do not know The Times owns the Sun.
Earth Mystery News published the Toronto interview. It took some time, but beginning August 16 news tabloids with collectively over 140 million page views per month in the U.S. and U.K. alone jumped back into the Obama/Clinton/Disclosure story. And, of course, they focused on the Christ event analogy - graphically. Hopefully, that story will again spread across the larger spectrum.
This strategy is essential for a very important reason. The top tier media venues are not using their standing and resources to properly represent the public's interests. This is particularly the case regarding abuses of power and secrecy by political and military/intelligence institutions. It took 19 months and hundreds of articles published around the world before the New York Times addressed the Clinton/ET/Disclosure story with a single, albeit very good, article. Nothing since. The Times of London followed with a minuscule article. Nothing since. The Washington Post has danced around the story. The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal - none have secured a single interview with Clinton, Clinton, Podesta or Obama regarding a political story that has been in play world wide for two years.
And, of course, the television news programs on NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX have essentially done nothing, including keeping the issue out of 30+ campaign debates and forums. There is no surprise here. The truth embargo is still in effect 70 years on.
But that doesn't alter the fact this circumstance is a grave threat to the nation. There is a long list of issues the top tier media will not properly engage for various reasons, but the failures relating to issues and stories connected to national security and the military/ intelligence complex pose the greatest danger to the public's need to know. Over the past 70 years, if for no other reason than access, a toxic and conflicted relationship has developed between top tier media venues and national security structures. Here is but one example.
The political paper of record for the United States is generally considered to be the Washington Post. From 1946 to 2013 the Post was owned and published by the Graham family, which developed a very close relationship to the CIA - too close. In 1988 the Post publisher Katharine Graham made this statement, "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows."
Where did she make this statement? A presentation at the CIA'a headquarters in Langley, VA. Whatever one takes away from this assertion, that the publisher of America's political paper of record delivers it to the CIA on site is beyond the pale. The Post has never addressed or repudiated this statement.
The Graham family era as publisher of the Post formally ended on October 1, 2013 when it was sold to billionaire Jeff Bezos for $250 million in cash. Would this change the Post's relationship with the national security structures? Would the Post now begin to properly engage the off-limits issues such as, well, the ET truth embargo? No.
Jeff Bezos paid what some analysts thought was four times what the paper was worth. Not to worry. On October 5, 2013, just four days after closing the deal to purchase the Post, Jeff Bezos' company, Amazon, was finally cleared to close a $600 million dollar cloud computing contract - with the CIA. On July 26, 2016 Jeff Bezos was added to the Defense Innovation Board founded by former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter in March of 2016. The DIB will advise the Pentagon in matters of high technology.
The Washington Post is not going to lead the way to Disclosure or reform of the military/intelligence complex or reform of much of anything. Neither will the New York Times nor the Wall Street Journal.
Nevertheless, great progress has been made in the broader media spectrum over the past two years. Disclosure this year by Obama is still doable if more media sectors do their job and live up to the highest ethics of their craft and their constitutional position.

Imran Khan's new team consists of a number of familiar faces. Of the 21 member council of ministers, 12 have been part of General Pervez Musharraf's cabinet, while five have been members of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government.
Interestingly, one of the key slogans of his Pakistan-Tehreek-I-Insaaf (PTI) party campaign was 'Naya Pakistan' (new Pakistan) which many thought would pave the way for new faces. Khan has often spoken about the need to transform the 'feudal culture' of Pakistan, which many would argue has been among the impediments to Pakistan's development and progress.
Feudalism is an important feature of Pakistani politics and kinship networks, as well as patronage, are key factors keeping the Pakistani state afloat, argues Anatol Lieven in his book 'Pakistan: A Hard State.' Both at the federal level in Pakistan, and at the provincial level in Punjab, there are faces which have been not just been part of the system (which Khan seeks to reform) but have also been initiated into politics by the Pakistan military.
Many faces in Khan's new government are quintessential insiders to the system (like Sheikh Rashid, railway minister, who was earlier with Nawaz Sharif's PML-N and in Musharraf's cabinet). Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the new foreign minister, and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi are also part of the political elite.
Qureshi, whose father was Governor of Punjab, was initiated into politics by the Pakistan army and nominated to the Punjab Assembly during General Zia-ul Haq's rule. He later shifted to Benazir Bhutto's PPP and was foreign minister till 2011 when he was removed and left the PPP. Qureshi has links with farmers' groups in Indian Punjab and visited India several times. He was in Delhi as foreign minister when the November 2008 Mumbai attacks happened.
In the important Punjab province, Khan has struck a deal with the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid)'s Pervaiz Elahi, former Deputy PM and Punjab Chief Minister. Known as the Chaudhrys of Gujrat, the sugar barons have been in politics over six decades, and had close ties with military dictators, especially Zia-ul Haq. Their ideological orientation is similar to Sharif, and they were part of his PML-N till 1999. After the coup of 1999, they switched sides to join Musharraf, and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain became Prime Minister, while Elahi became Punjab CM.
During his term as Punjab CM (2003-2008), Elahi sought to improve ties with Indian Punjab, establishing a rapport with Captain Amarinder Singh, then and now Chief Minister of Punjab. Several cultural and sports exchanges were held between both sides.
Elahi also attended the Punjab Games in 2004, with athletes from both Punjabs participating in the first of its kind post-Partition event. Attempts were also made to strengthen economic linkages. Chambers of commerce, like the Punjab, Haryana Delhi (PHD) Chamber and the Lahore Chamber signed MOUs to have joint exhibitions, which have since carried on.
It remains to be seen whether, during his current stint, Singh can use his rapport with Elahi to revive linkages between the two Punjabs. This would be in sync with Khan's call for better economic ties between both countries.
The only Indian dignitary who attended Khan's swearing-in was former cricketer, Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is culture and tourism minister in Amarinder Singh's cabinet. Sidhu has also pitched for closer economic ties and closer people to people contacts between both the Punjabs.
In Islamabad for the Khan's oath-taking ceremony, Sidhu met Pakistan Army Chief, Qamar Javed Bajwa, who, during their brief meeting, spoke about building a religious corridor which would help the Sikh community gain visa free access to Gurdwara Darbara Sahib, (Kartarpur) where Guru Nanak spent the last years of his life. 2019 is Guru Nanak's 550th birth anniversary and India and Pakistan could celebrate this jointly, since the founder of the Sikh faith was born in Pakistan. Bajwa reportedly pitched for better ties with India. It remains to be seen whether improved people to people contacts and peaceful bilateral relations will work out.
Former Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri is also part of the PTI. Kasuri, whose grandfather was part of the Indian National Congress till 1940, was earlier part of the PPP, the PML-N and, during General Pervez Musharraf's tenure, was foreign minister. He has close ties in India including with former minister, Mani Shankar Aiyar, and is a frequent visitor to India.
Looking beyond slogans, Khan's use of tried old hands may appear opportunistic and a compromise, but it is useful for key policy areas, including ties with India. While Khan himself has close links with many people in India, the presence of old hands in his party and the government should be viewed positively.

Q: Integer solution of $x^p +y^p =z^p$ (mod $p^n$) when $p \equiv 1$ (mod 3), Washington "Cyclotomic Fields" Exercise 1.2 Exercise 1.2 of Washington's book "Introduction to Cyclotomic Fields" says
Suppose $p \equiv 1$ (mod $3$). Using the fact that $\mathbb{Z}_p$ contains the cube roots of unity, show that $x^p+y^p \equiv z^p$ (mod $p^n$), $p \not| xyz$, has solutions for each $n \ge 1$.
For instance, let $p=7$. In $\mathbb{Z}_7$, cube roots of unity are
$$1,~ 2 + 4\cdot 7 + 6\cdot 7^2 + 3\cdot 7^3 + \cdots,~ 4 + 2\cdot 7 + 0\cdot 7^2 +3\cdot 7^3 + \cdots.$$
Also let $n=2$. Then $x^7+y^7 \equiv z^7$ (mod $7^2$) has a desired integer solution $(x,y,z)=(1,30,31)$.
But I have no idea how to use the existence of third roots of unity to show the existence of certain integer solution.
Thank you in advance.

A: Let $\omega$ be a nontrivial cube root of 1. Then $1+\omega+\omega^2=0$, so that
$$
\omega^p+(\omega^2)^p=\omega+\omega^2=-1=(-1)^p
$$


Mr. H.M. is an 83 year-old male diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
On November 20 HM presented to his physician's office with nosebleeds. Subsequent investigations showed an underlying low grade lymphoproliferative disorder. His medical history includes ischemic heart disease, treated with medical therapy after occlusion of a bypass graft performed in 1971 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is considered a high surgical risk, therefore, splenectomy is not an option. At the time of admission he was treated with oral prednisone for the ITP. This was followed by two courses of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. He initially responded well but was unable to sustain the platelet increments.
In January vincristine was prescribed. While not recommended as a primary treatment it has been shown to be useful in ITP that is refractory to steroids and splenectomy. On January 4, the hematologist ordered Rh immune globulin (RhIG).
HM was admitted to hospital for hematological workup following numerous uncontrolled nosebleeds.
The hematologist requested 0.4 gm IVIG /kg x 5 days. Patient weight was 81.9 kg. Patient was also started on prednisone.
Based on these results, red cells were electronically crossmatched and Mr. HM was transfused with one unit of RBC on November 20 and two RBC on each of 3 days (November 21-23) as he exhibited anemia-related symtoms. No adverse reactions were reported.
35 gm IVIG (Nov.20) and 30 gm IVIG (Nov. 21, 22, 23) were also transfused without incident.
Dec. 5: Discharged with a Hgb of 167 g/L and a platelet count of 24 X 109/L.
Dec. 8: Re-admitted (Hgb 144 g/L; platelets 35 X 109/L). 30 gm IVIG were transfused daily (Dec.8 - 11).
Dec. 15: Discharged (Hgb 135 g/L; platelets 38 X 109/L; creatinine 99 mmol/L).
Five platelet concentrates were requested by the on-call oncologist on Dec. 30. The patient was ABO and Rh retyped and the platelets were transfused as a pool without incident.
On Jan. 4, HM's hemoglobin was 129 g/L and his platelet count was 13 X 109/L. 4000 micrograms of RhIG were given in the ambulatory care unit.
HM came to Emergency complaining of chest pain and was admitted to hospital.
The patient's hemoglobin dropped 50g/L (129 g/L on Jan. 4 to 79 g/L on Jan. 17).
Two red cell concentrates were ordered.
Two group O Rh negative red cell concentrates were crossmatched (PEG-IAT) and transfused without incident on Jan. 17. The patient's chest pain had abated, his CBC showed a satisfactory increment, and he was discharged on Jan.18.
On Jan. 25 two red cell concentrates were ordered. Two group O Rh positive RBC were crossmatched (PEG-IAT) and transfused without incident on Jan. 26 in the Ambulatory Care Unit. The patient's DAT was still positive but weaker (1+).
After reviewing the case summary, consider these questions.
What laboratory tests should be ordered on patients being considered for RhIG therapy for ITP?
Should patients who have a drop in hemoglobin that triggers a transfusion be given Rh positive or Rh negative red cells?
Should RhIG be given to outpatients?
What are contraindications to receiving RhIG therapy for ITP?
What should be checked prior to giving Rh positive patients subsequent doses of intravenous RhIG?
What is the cost benefit of using RhIG compared to IVIG for the treatment of ITP?
Have deaths ever resulted from intravascular hemolysis secondary to transfusing Rh positive patients with RhIG to treat ITP?

Shenandoah City Council awards construction bid for Holly Hill Trails Park
The Shenandoah City Council unanimously approved a construction bid for a new city park on Dec. 15. (Andrew Christman/Community Impact Newspaper)
By Andrew Christman | 8:39 AM Dec 16, 2021 CST | Updated 8:39 AM Dec 16, 2021 CST
The Shenandoah City Council awarded a contract for the construction of Holly Hill Trails Park, located at the northern cul-de-sac on Holly Hill Drive, in a 5-0 vote during a Dec. 15 meeting.
The cost of construction for the park is estimated around $389,902 and will be completed by Solid Bridge Construction LLC. Shenandoah Public Works Director Joseph Peart said the city has worked with Solid Bridge Construction LLC previously and had good experiences with the company.
• The Woodlands board names 2 interim assistant general managers
• Pizza Artista plans January opening in The Woodlands
• Uli's Kitchen brings a culinary tour of Mexico to The Woodlands
• Christmas crafts, dog pageant: 6 things to do Dec. 17-19 in The Woodlands area
• Lone Star Pickleball opens in Spring offering 12 courts, lessons
Peart added there will be a surplus of around $60,000 due to the bid coming in under budget, but the surplus could be used for additional lighting or vegetation for the park.
Shenandoah City Council documents state the park has been designed to have a one-third mile loop for a concrete walking trail with drainage, trail lighting, benches, and new trees and bushes throughout the park. Discussions for the park started in late 2019 when it had been proposed for the 4.5 acres of land the city owns in the area.

Jindal Refuses to "Evolve" on Marriage
by Terry Schilling
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (photo credit: Gage Skidmore via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Well, that was quick. A few days ago, I asked if former Gov. Mike Huckabee would be the only candidate to speak forcefully for marriage.
Then, on Feb. 10, Gov. Jindal told CNN firmly and clearly he won't be "evolving" on marriage and endorses a constitutional amendment to let the states decide if the Supreme Court tries to impose gay marriage.
[T]here are a lot of politicians that have so-called evolved on this issue – remember when Pres. Obama first ran for office, he was for traditional marriage. He saw the polls change; he changed his position. I'm not one of those politicians. My faith teaches me marriage is between a man and a woman. I don't believe in discrimination against anybody. I'm not for changing the definition of marriage, and that's why I hope the Supreme Court decides not to overturn what the states have decided… [I]f the Supreme Court were to do this, I think the remedy would be a constitutional amendment in the Congress to tell the courts you can't overturn what the states have decided…

Lessons learned building a blockchain startup in Africa
Toby Carroll has worked in emerging markets for most of his career. He shares his insights into building businesses in Africa both as an investor and founder.
By Matt Hussey
Jun 2, 2019 Dec 26, 2019
The conversation in Europe and the US over the last 12 months has been dominated by regulation and the ongoing fallout from the ICO boom of 2017. In Africa meanwhile, blockchain projects have raced ahead. The technology is being used in Kenya to boost agricultural yields, to give residents in Uganda access to solar power and curb corruption in its housing market, and it's lead the fight to stamp out child labor in Congo's mining industry.
But like any emerging market, or technology, there are challenges. Investment-banker-turned-healthcare-provider, Toby Carroll knows a thing or two about working on the continent. His years as a financier specializing in emerging markets, and now more recently his work on his own startup Kinect, a blockchain powered health data project, gives him unique insight into what it takes to make a success in Africa. Below are the things he's learned while working on the continent.
Always have a contingency plan
In early December 2018, a new wave of violent unrest broke out in the troubled, central-African-state of Sudan. Described as the biggest in living memory, the wave of protests, against the 30-year rule of President Omar al-Bashir, left at least forty dead, a doctor among them.
It was not a good time or place to be beta-testing a healthcare platform, as Carroll and his team found out. Kinect had been working on a prototype for its data platform in the country, but the geopolitical situation made collecting patient data almost impossible. "We do have to be very flexible and adapt to changing situations. Ministers and governments can change quite rapidly in many countries there."
So Carroll and his team went to plan B. The team had already made initial plans to work in other territories, that would allow Kinect to continue the work and minimize disruption. "From a company deployment perspective, you need to have an awareness of safety in your region, and how that might tie into your ability to do things," says Carroll. Carroll and his team had hedged their bets by laying the ground work for a number of pilots elsewhere, and in January 2019, less than a month later, Kinect successfully completed its first trial, not in Africa as expected, but at the Masina hospital, in Mumbai, India.
"If something outside of your control happens, you have to be able to adapt and shift quickly."
People may have heard of cryptocurrencies but how that relates to blockchain and in particular, the product you're building can make implementing new technology a particular challenge.
Find the key decision makers in your market
"It's very difficult to start from the ground up and try and bring new technology in," says Carroll. While that's the case in most markets, in emerging ones you have the added challenge of gatekeepers–people and or institutions who can open doors for your product or service, or close them.
In Carroll's case, when trying to establish Kinect in local hospitals and among health care providers, there were several key stakeholders at a senior government level that could have made things more challenging. The team understood that establishing trust with those gatekeepers was a key stepping stone to being able to build their product.
"We've all worked in emerging economies before, so we pooled our network together so we could gain access, and share our ideas with the Sudanese Minister of Health and even the President's office." By getting buy-in from the very top, it made it a lot easier to build the trust he needed in the hospitals, clinics, and the doctors who would work with Kinect on a daily basis.
When thinking about setting up shop in an emerging market, have a list of those key stakeholders you need to reach first before you start building.
Be prepared to work in partnership with others to help solve their problems so they can help solve yours
Kinect's platform, which allows patients to control and access their medical records, relies on a number of technological and infrastructural elements in order for the technology to work. One of those is a reliable cellular network.
While Africa has some of the highest cell phone adoption rates anywhere in the world, reliable cell connection can be challenging. So Carroll and his team went to see Airtel, one of Africa's largest cell phone service providers, to see if there were any potential opportunities to work together.
"It's not possible to build in these places unless you're aligning with and building with strong players in the market with different facets that can benefit your business," says Carroll.
"Things go better when everyone's working together on a collective goal. In our case, it was better services for the communities we served, and we found a lot of other companies felt the same way."
Working in these markets, projects need to think about how they can find partners to help them reach their goals, by helping others do the same. Anchor CEO, Daniel Popa said while of working in the decentralized web, "even your competitors are your greatest collaborators."
Go the extra mile on regulatory standards
In places like the EU, regulatory standards carry across borders, allowing you to expand into different territories once those standards have been met. You have one set of rules and if you abide by them, you can access the whole market. But in emerging markets, often there isn't the same regulatory framework, meaning you have to go country by country. That can throw up barriers.
"Some of the governments are more sensitive than others around the sovereignty of data. They're reluctant to say, 'Okay, a foreign company can use us for medical research, and have full control of the data'" says Carroll. Trust, even in a trustless system, is still important. So Kinect opted for the highest standard possible to reassure its partners that the company has their best interests at heart. For Carroll, the gold standard for data protection in the medical industry is HIPAA, regulation first developed in the US, so that's what they opted for when working on the continent.
While the mantra of going fast and breaking things has been embraced by the blockchain community, sometimes it's smarter to build trust first before rushing in to implement a new product.
If something outside of your control happens, you have to be able to adapt and shift quickly.
Make your message clear, no matter what stakeholder is involved
"On a global scale, the average understanding of blockchain is pretty low," says Carroll. "People may have heard of cryptocurrencies but how that relates to blockchain and in particular, the product you're building can make implementing new technology a particular challenge." The key, says Carroll is to focus on the benefit of the technology above all else.
"When you're talking to a doctor or a nurse, they don't need to understand what happens every time they type a text message or any other piece of technology they might use, so, you don't really need to delve right down into the minutiae of what makes your system work."
Stick with how it helps that person directly. If you're speaking to an investor, again it's not the technology that's going to convince them, it's how your idea can offer a better outcome than what exists currently.
Demonstrate your local knowledge to investors
"In emerging economies, there are often a series of serious and urgent health issues that you need to be able to demonstrate an awareness of," says Carroll.
"While working with clinics, we saw many patients were struggling to adhere to medical programs because in some cases, they had to walk five, or sometimes ten miles to a clinic and that often meant missing a day off work."
So Carroll and his team had to compensate users to attend clinics to receive treatment as a way of solving the problem. Investors, says Carroll want to see that understanding when it comes to pitching for funding. "Many of our investors had already worked or had invested in companies in the areas we were hoping to work, so we're already aware of these larger issues. Showing that we also understood them and were implementing strategies to remedy that is vital when it comes to working in new environments successfully."

These Fintech Solutions Are Teaching Gen Z About Finance
Teen spending is being modernized. When parents don't carry cash, but their kids aren't old enough for their own debit cards, fintech solutions are coming to the rescue…
Let's face it—Gen Z hasn't grown up with a very financially stable idea of the world. The majority of the generation doesn't remember a time before the Great Recession, which gave them a heightened sense of social, cultural, and, of course, financial anxiety that Millennials were able to skip. That might not be such a bad thing—while many Millennials went into college with a sense that everything would work out in the end only to be met with mounting debt and a stagnant job market, Gen Z has been raised with a healthy dose of caution. In response, teens today are surprisingly pragmatic and frugal—last year, when we asked them to divulge their top personal goals, "saving money" broke the top 10. In fact, some 60% of Gen Z already has a savings account, according to Rave Reviews, and New York University found that 35% have enrolled in a financial class of some sort, surpassing the financial literacy goals of Millennials (12%) and Baby Boomers (16%). What's more, 64% of Gen Z has already begun researching the topic of financial planning and 89% say planning for their financial future makes them feel empowered. Clearly this generation is not about to let financial troubles get them down.
At the same time, Gen Z is entering adulthood at a time when banking and financial planning look a lot different than they did just a few years ago. A young consumer-led fintech revolution is underway, and mobile banks, money-tracking apps, and digital investment platforms are flourishing. And while the fintech market has largely targeted Millennials, a few up-and-coming companies are eyeing Gen Z's rising spending power and financial smarts to offer them age-specific solutions for all their money needs—and teach them young. A few years ago, we predicted that teen spending would be modernizing quickly in the fintech age. Previously, teens remain tethered to antiquated retail practices such as "malls," "cash," and "physical retail," relying on these artifacts of yesteryear due to a lack of reliable electronic payment options for those under the age of 18. But now, fintech solutions are being developed with teens in mind—here are four putting the spending power in their hands.
The fintech solution Current launched with the idea to modernize teen spending while still keeping parents in control—they could monitor their teens' income and set up spending limits. But what started as beginner debit cards for Gen Z is starting to look more like a regular checking account—now, the company is adding capabilities to allow teen freelancers and entrepreneurs to add their extra cash to a Current checking account without the restrictions of a traditional bank. Adding routing and account numbers allows teens to make occasional deposits and use their extra cash on online purchases.
Amazon Teen
Amazon has more than succeeded at winning the hearts of adults, but now the company is putting effort toward gaining teen shoppers. With Amazon Teen, young shoppers can create their own accounts and link them to their parents' in order to buy items, stream videos, and tap the other benefits of their parents' Prime membership—all with their parents' permission. When teens buy an item, parents have the opportunity to approve or deny the purchase with a simple text message, or even set spending limits per order. While it's meant to simplify the shopping process for teens and their parents, Amazon Teen also teaches Gen Z independence and responsible shopping—in a controlled environment.
Rooster Money
Kids got an average of $414 in allowance money in 2017—about $8.74 each week. That's according to allowance-tracking app RoosterMoney, which polled 10,000 of its 4-14-year-old users to find an average. YPulse's own data found that 31% of 13-17-year-olds receive an allowance, too. The app's CEO told CNBC that "[p]arents are finding it harder to have conversations about money because they don't have cash around," and the exec believes apps can be the solution. On RoosterMoney, Millennial parents can make digital currency feel more real, reward kids for saving, and teach kids the consequences of debt. The adults fill kids' accounts with regular allowances, gifts, or rewards, while young users control their own budgets and see how their money is spent.
iAllowance
While there are plenty of budgeting and savings-tracking apps aimed at kids and teens, iAllowance digitizes the exchange of money between kids and parents and puts control in kids' hands. It stands out by integrating chores and subsequent earnings into the app, letting parents not only reward their kids for completing tasks, but also send them push notifications to remind them it's time to clean their room and do other chores. Kids can then mark the task "complete" in the app and get paid out. But more than just tracking chores, the app also allows Gen Z to record purchases, watch their savings, and generally gain financial literacy, all in one place.

Q: Django REST POST with PK to HyperlinkedModelSerializer, how to translate PK to URL? I'm new to Django and Django REST. I have been creating a simple practice project.
Models:
class Locker(models.Model):
    locker_owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='lockers', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    locker_desc = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    locker_rating = models.IntegerField(default=0)

Serializers:
class LockerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    locker_owner = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
        view_name='user-detail',
        lookup_field='id',
        queryset=User.objects.all())
    # how to add locker owner with id?

class Meta:
    model = Locker
    fields = ('url', 'locker_desc', 'locker_rating', 'locker_owner')

class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('url', 'id', 'username', 'email', 'groups')

Views:
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    API endpoint that allows users to be viewed or edited.
    """
    queryset = User.objects.all().order_by('-date_joined')
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

class LockerViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    API endpoint that allows lockers to be viewed or edited.
    """
    # def create(self, request):
    queryset = Locker.objects.all()
    serializer_class = LockerSerializer

I use this to POST:
ttp -f POST localhost:8000/lockers/ locker_owner_id=2 locker_desc='desc of locker 3' locker_rating=150

But then the response is

"locker_owner": [
          "This field is required."
      ]

Main Point:
I would like to create a new locker, and use User id as its locker_owner, yet still maintain the HyperlinkedModelSerializer. It won't let me, since they need url for locker_owner. Once I use hyperlink in the locker_owner of my POST request it works, but I don't know how to translate locker_owner=2 to it's url.
Any help would be appreciated. I have been looking for answers in days. Thank you!

A: This is not something you can do out-of-the-box. You will need to implement your own custom serializer Field, and override the to_representation method:
serializers.py
from rest_framework.reverse import reverse

class CustomRelatedField(serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField):

    def to_representation(self, value):
         return reverse('<your-user-detail-view-name>', args=(value.pk,), request=self.context['request'])

class LockerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    locker_owner = CustomRelatedField(queryset=User.objects.all())

    class Meta:
       model = Locker
       fields = ('url', 'locker_desc', 'locker_rating', 'locker_owner')

You can then simply POST a simple JSON to create a new Locker object:
{
    "locker_owner": 2,
    "locker_desc": 'desc of locker 3',
    "locker_rating": 150
}

A: I have found the solution myself looking at the tutorials available. The other answers have not really answered the question fully.
For those wanting to get url of a foreign key to be saved, here, locker_owner, just get them using hyperlinked related field
In my serializer:
class LockerSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    locker_owner=serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
        read_only=True,
        view_name='user-detail')

    class Meta:
        model = Locker
        fields = ('locker_desc', 'locker_rating', 'locker_owner')

I was trying to get the id in the lookup field, but actually the lookup field is searching the id from my url. That's why it could not find it. Simple and done. Thank you for all the answers.

Security Negligence? Quaheem Murphy Fatally Injured in Hopewell, VA Gas Station Shooting.
Quaheem Murphy Fatally Injured in Hopewell, VA Gas Station Shooting. (NBC12.com)
Did negligent security contribute to this shooting and are justice and compensation available to the victim's family? Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.
Gunfire erupted late Monday night, Dec 19, 2022 at a Hopewell, VA gas station leaving one man dead.
As reported by WTVR.com, "[police] were called to the gas station on Oaklawn Boulevard for a report of gunshots fired around 11:20 p.m."
WRIC.com is reporting, "[w]hen [officers] got there, they found 25-year-old Quaheem Murphy of Hopewell with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene."
The shooting investigation is ongoing.
Gas Station and convenience store patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:
Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shooting?
Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the family of Quaheem Murphy may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the family of Quaheem Murphy retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
