Namibia rejects German financial compensation offer for colonial era genocide
The offer of the German government to pay €10 million to Namibia as compensation for the mass murder of its people more than a century ago has been rejected.
Namibian President Hage Geingob on Tuesday (11 August) turned down the German financial offer to compensate for the killing of tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people by German colonial troops between 1904 and 1908.
"The current offer for reparations made by the German government remains an outstanding issue and is not acceptable to the Namibian government," Geingob said in a statement after a briefing on the status of negotiations between the two countries, which began in 2015. He added that the government's special envoy to the talks with Germany, Zed Ngavirue, would continue to negotiate for a "revised offer".
The negotiations between the two countries centre on Germany giving an official apology and offering compensation for the killing of tens of thousands of indigenous Herero and Nama people by German occupiers in 1904-1908. Historians say some 65,000 of the 80,000 Herero and at least 10,000 of the 20,000 Nama died in what is widely accepted as the first genocide of the 20th century.
Germany is yet to apologise formally for the tragic event even though it has acknowledged "moral responsibility" for the atrocities. The Namibians demand an unreserved apology.
Moreover, Germany has repeatedly refused to call any financial compensation "reparations", favouring the term "healing the wounds".
Analysts say the German government is reluctant to use the word "reparations" in any agreement with the Namibian government for the fear of other victims of its colonial adventure in Africa, such as in today's Tanzania, making their own demands using the deal with Namibia as a legal blueprint. Namibia rejects Germany's use of the term "healing the wounds" in place of the word reparations.
Other sticking points in the talks include the exclusion of representatives of the Herero and Nama communities, who are the direct descendants of the victims, from the negotiations. Germany has insisted that it would only hold talks with the Namibian government, a position vehemently opposed by the Herero and Nama representatives.

"The colonisers are dictating the condition of peace as they did in war," the Namibian filmmaker Perivi John Katjavivi wrote. "We are not only descendants of genocide victims, we are direct victims because it forced us into generations of poverty."
The leaders of the Herero and Nama people have always maintained that the German government must own up to the genocide, apologise and pay compensation to them.
Germany ruled Namibia as a colony from 1884 to 1915 which it named Southwest Africa. In response to the seizure of their land and confiscation of their cattle, the Herero and Nama rebelled against the colonial occupiers in 1904. In the process of putting down the resistance, German troops massacred and displaced tens of thousands of the Namibians following an extermination order by their general Lothar von Trotha, who issued the infamous order: "Any Herero found inside the German [colonial] border, with or without a gun or cattle, will be executed. I will spare neither women nor children, I will order them to be driven away or fire on them."
Herero and Nama who escaped fighting between their warriors and colonial forces were driven into the desert, where many died of dehydration.
Survivors of the killings were taken to concentration camps, where they were abused, subject to slavery and, in some cases, to medical experiments following which hundreds of skulls from people who died at that time were taken to Germany to perform racial scientific experiments.
Germany's brutal clampdown on the resistance of people inhabiting the territories it occupied in Africa during the colonial era also occurred in Tanzania, where its forces crushed the Maji-Maji rebellion, leading to an estimated 300,000 people losing their lives. Analysts say any deal with Namibia may also elicit demands for compensation from Tanzania as well as claims from countries like Cameroon or Togo which were also colonised by Germany.

This is supposed to be the business end of the season, squeaky-bum time in terms of the title race, yet Tottenham's visit to Anfield on Sunday afternoon may turn out to be more of a love-in than a leadership contest. For one thing, games between the two clubs in recent seasons have featured exquisite goals, open football and marvellous entertainment. For another, Jürgen Klopp makes no secret of his admiration for Spurs, their manager and their leading scorer, even if they do arrive on Merseyside looking for their first Premier League win in more than a month.
"We can expect a strong Tottenham, they are a world-class team," the Liverpool manager says. "In England, the country of transfers, it makes a pretty big statement when you don't sign anyone at all, but in a way I could see why Mauricio Pochettino did that, why they were not too concerned last summer when they didn't bring in any new players.

If there is a disagreement between a parent and a non-parent about custody, a judge can assume that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the parent. This is true unless it can be shown that being with the parent would be harmful to the child.
Where the parents are no longer living or unfit, the judge can award custody to another person or to an agency such as the Department of Human Resources, depending on what the judge believes to be in the best interest of the child. If one parent is dead, is unable or refuses to take custody, or has abandoned the child, the other parent is usually entitled to custody of the child.1
1 C.G.S. § 46b-56b
Did you find this information helpful?
Possibly. Anyone who is filing for custody of a minor child can ask the court to issue an emergency ex parte order of custody when s/he believes there is an immediate and present risk of physical danger or psychological harm to the child.1 An order that is issued ex parte means that it is issued without prior notice to the other parent, based only on your affidavit/testimony. If the judge issues an emergency ex parte order, the judge will schedule a hearing within 14 days2 and the respondent but be served at least 5 days before that hearing.3 At the hearing, the other parent can object to the ex parte order continuing and it will be up to the judge to decide whether or not to continue the order.
If the judge decides not to issue an ex parte order immediately, the judge must still schedule a hearing on the matter although it may not necessarily be within 14 days.3 If at any time before or after the hearing, the judge believes that an immediate and present risk of physical danger or psychological harm to the child exists, the judge has the power to issue an emergency ex parte order for the protection of the child and the judge can inform the Department of Children and Families of any relevant information in your affidavit for their possible investigation. The emergency order can provide temporary child custody or visitation rights and can order the respondent-parent to not:
remove the child from the state;
interfere with the applicant's custody of the child;
interfere with the child's educational program; or
take any other specific action that is in the best interests of the child.2
1 C.G.S. § 46b-56f(a)
2 C.G.S. § 46b-56f(c)
3 C.G.S. § 46b-56f(d)
A judge will look at what is in the best interest of the child when s/he is deciding who will receive custody. The judge may consider one or more of the following factors, among others:
the physical and emotional safety of the child;
the child's nature (temperament) and the developmental needs of the child;
the ability and willingness of the parents to understand and meet the needs of the child;
any relevant and important information obtained from the child, including the child's preference if the child is able to maturely able to form a preference;
the wishes of the child's parents as to custody;
the past and current interaction and relationship of the child with each parent, the child's siblings and any other person who may significantly affect the best interests of the child;
the willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage such continuing parent-child relationship between the child and the other parent as is appropriate, including following any court orders;
any manipulation by, or coercive behavior of, the parents in an effort to involve the child in the parents' dispute;
the ability of each parent to be actively involved in the life of the child;
the child's adjustment to his or her home, school and community environments;
the length of time that the child has lived in a stable and satisfactory environment and the desirability of continuing in such environment – – however, if a parent leaves the home during or leading up to the court case to lessen stress in the home, this won't be held against the parent;
the stability of the child's existing or proposed residences, or both;
the mental and physical health of all individuals involved – however, a parent's disability will not be the only determining factor unless the proposed custodial arrangement is not in the best interests of the child;
the child's cultural background;
the effect on the child of the actions of an abuser, if any domestic violence has occurred between the parents or between a parent and another individual or the child;
whether the child or a sibling of the child has been abused or neglected, as defined by law; and
whether the party satisfactorily completed participation in a parenting education program.1
1 C.G.S. § 46b-56(c)
Anyone can file for visitation if s/he can allege in the petition, and later prove at a hearing, that:
a parent-like relationship exists between the person and the child; and
denial of visitation would cause real and significant harm.1
In determining whether a "parent-like relationship" exists between the petitioner and the child, the judge can consider the following factors (among others):
the length of the relationship between the petitioner and the child before s/he filed for visitation;
the length of time that the relationship between the petitioner and the child has been disrupted;
the specific parent-like activities of the petitioner toward the child;
any evidence that the petitioner has unreasonably undermined the authority and discretion of the custodial parent;
the significant absence of a parent from the life of the child;
the death of one of the child's parents;
the physical separation of the parents of the child;
the fitness of the person seeking visitation; and
the fitness of the custodial parent.2
If the person applying for visitation is a grandparent (or great-grandparent), the judge can also consider the history of regular contact and proof of a close and substantial relationship between the grandparent and the child in addition to considering the factors above.3
In determining the best interests of the child, the judge is supposed to consider the child's wishes if s/he is old enough to be able of form an intelligent opinion.4
Note: If a grandparent or other person is granted visitation, such visitation rights cannot be a ground for preventing the relocation of the custodial parent.5
1 C.G.S. § 46b-59(b)
3 C.G.S. § 46b-59(d)
4 C.G.S. § 46b-59(e)
5 C.G.S. § 46b-59(f)
Possibly. The judge will consider various factors when making an order of custody and visitation. One factor a judge can consider is if domestic violence has occurred between the parents, between a parent and someone else, or between a parent and the child – the judge can consider the effect that the actions of the abuser have had on the child.1 However, this is only one of many factors considered and does not necessarily mean that an abuser will not get some form of custody or visitation.
1 C.G.S. § 46b-56(c)(14)
You do not need a lawyer to file for custody. However, it may be difficult for you represent yourself in court without the help of a lawyer. Also, if the other parent has a lawyer, it will be particularly helpful if you have a lawyer as well. To find a lawyer or legal aid program in your area, please visit our CT Finding a Lawyer page.
If you are going to be in court without a lawyer, our Preparing for Court – By Yourself section may be useful to you.
Custody jurisdiction is state law. However, Connecticut, like most states, has adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which we explain here.
Under the UCCJEA, you can only file for custody in the "home state" of the child. (There are exceptions to the "home state" rule – see below.)
The "home state" is the state where the child has lived with a parent or a person acting as a parent for at least six consecutive months. If your child is less than six months old, the "home state" is the state where the child has lived from birth. (Temporary absence from the state does not change anything.)
If you and your child recently moved to a new state, you cannot file for custody in that new state until you have lived there for at least six months. Until then, the other parent can start a custody action in the state that your children most recently lived in for at least six months.
There are exceptions to the home state rule. In some cases, you can file for custody in a state where the children and at least one parent have "significant connections." Usually, however, you can only do this if there is no home state or if the home state has agreed to let another state have jurisdiction. This can be complicated, and if you think this applies to your situation, please talk to a lawyer in both states about this.
You can also file for temporary emergency custody in a state other than the home state if:
1. the child is present in that state, and
2. the child has been abandoned or it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child, is subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse.1
1 C.G.S. § 46b-115k
It depends on the particulars of your situation. To find out what the process will be like for you, please consult a lawyer in your area. To find a lawyer or legal aid program in your area, please visit the CT Finding a Lawyer page under the Places that Help tab at the top of this page.
Generally, if the parents are married, one or both of the parents usually files for custody as part of a divorce action. If the parents are already divorced, the parent who does not have custody can file a petition for a change in custody in the county where the divorce was issued. If the parents were never married or live separately, either parent can file for custody in the county in which either parent lives.1
1 C.G.S. § 46b-61(a)
If you have temporary custody, the judge can order the other parent to pay temporary reasonable support to your children. Later, as part of the custody hearing, the judge may also order child support. The amount will be in accordance with child support guidelines, unless the judge finds good reason to vary from the guidelines.1
1 C.G.S. § 46b-84
In any "family relations" matter, which includes custody, divorce, and relief from abuse cases, among others, if the judge sees a pattern that one party is filing meaningless (frivolous) and false pleadings or motions, the judge can punish (sanction) that party. The judge can issue any punishment that would be appropriate to allow the current court case to proceed without unnecessary delay or interference by the the harassing pleadings or motions.1

Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a potent inhibitor of experimental mammary carcinogenesis and may be an effective, safe chemopreventive agent for use in humans. SFN acts in part on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway to regulate a battery of cytoprotective genes. In this study, transcriptomic and proteomic changes in the estrogen receptor negative, non-tumorigenic human breast epithelial MCF10A cell line were analyzed following SFN treatment or KEAP1 knockdown with siRNA using microarray and stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in culture (SILAC), respectively. Changes in selected transcripts and proteins were confirmed by PCR and Western blot in MCF10A and MCF12A cells. There was strong correlation between the transcriptomic and proteomic responses in both the SFN treatment (R = 0.679, P < 0.05) and KEAP1 knockdown (R = 0.853, P < 0.05) experiments. Common pathways for SFN treatment and KEAP1 knockdown were xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidants, glutathione metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and NADH/NADPH regeneration. Moreover, these pathways were most prominent in both the transcriptomic and the proteomic analyses. The aldo-keto reductase family members, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3, as well as NQO1 and ALDH3A1, were highly upregulated at both the transcriptomic and the proteomic levels. Collectively, these studies served to identify potential biomarkers that can be used in clinical trials to investigate the initial pharmacodynamic action of SFN in the breast.

The aldo-keto reductase family members, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3, as well as NQO1 and ALDH3A1, were highly upregulated at both the transcriptomic and the proteomic levels. Collectively, these studies served to identify potential biomarkers that can be used in clinical trials to investigate the initial pharmacodynamic action of SFN in the breast.
AB - Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a potent inhibitor of experimental mammary carcinogenesis and may be an effective, safe chemopreventive agent for use in humans. SFN acts in part on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway to regulate a battery of cytoprotective genes. In this study, transcriptomic and proteomic changes in the estrogen receptor negative, non-tumorigenic human breast epithelial MCF10A cell line were analyzed following SFN treatment or KEAP1 knockdown with siRNA using microarray and stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in culture (SILAC), respectively. Changes in selected transcripts and proteins were confirmed by PCR and Western blot in MCF10A and MCF12A cells. There was strong correlation between the transcriptomic and proteomic responses in both the SFN treatment (R = 0.679, P < 0.05) and KEAP1 knockdown (R = 0.853, P < 0.05) experiments. Common pathways for SFN treatment and KEAP1 knockdown were xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidants, glutathione metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and NADH/NADPH regeneration. Moreover, these pathways were most prominent in both the transcriptomic and the proteomic analyses. The aldo-keto reductase family members, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3, as well as NQO1 and ALDH3A1, were highly upregulated at both the transcriptomic and the proteomic levels. Collectively, these studies served to identify potential biomarkers that can be used in clinical trials to investigate the initial pharmacodynamic action of SFN in the breast.

Read more about our COVID-19 Response.
Choose Your Strain: Indica, Sativa or Hybrid
Written by Tahoe Harvest Collection on January 8, 2021 .
Original cannabis subspecies' included Ruderalis, a smaller, lower-yielding crop still found throughout certain parts of Asia and Russia. While some say today's medicinal patient may have a use for the autoflowering cannabis subspecies, due to its low maintenance and low yields, we will be exploring the two most-popular strains to arrive in North America. The two most popular and different types of cannabis strains are Sativa, Indica and their hybridization, hybrid, which doesn't require ruderalis to hybritize.
While many assume a particular cannabis strain is categorized as either Indica, Sativa, or hybrid based on the presence or absence of a particular cannabinoid, or a cannabinoid in a particular volume, it's actually the terpenes that determine the distinction between Indica, Sativa and hybrid.
Sativa, Indica and Hybrid
With so much information and terms about cannabis strains out there, and some form of legalized cannabis in most US states, it's important to explore some distinctions between the different types of cannabis strains, Indica, Sativa and hybrid.
What is Sativa?
Sativa plants are known to stand taller and thinner compared to Indica plants and produce tighter leaves once in the growth cycle. In addition to what a cannabis plant looks like aesthetically, cannabis consumers generally understand a Sativa strain to be one that produces a more cerebral and energizing high, perhaps due to migrating from the warmer, brighter climates of Southeast Asia and Central and South America.
While people around the world continue to equate Sativa to "up" and "creative" we must also share with you that there is research to disprove this claim entirely. Because the endocannabinoid system is still being explored by scientists and researchers, it is important to remember that strain results can vary from person to person when consuming cannabis.
Banana Split is one of our favorite Sativa strains and boasts frosty, trichome-crusted buds with a sprinkling of bright orange hairs and a pleasant fruity aroma. Known for terpenes mercine and limonene, Banana Split is known to give your brain a boost! Slow and steady.
What is Indica?
If Sativa plants are taller and thinner, then Indica must be shorter and fuller, right? Right. Originating in dryer climates of the Middle East, Indica cannabis strains are cut from more outward-growing plants with fuller, greener leaves.
Said to produce relaxing and calming effects in consumers, researchers attribute physiological and psychological effects to the plant's terpene profile more than a difference in strain.
Cyprus OG is definitely one of our go-to Indica cannabis strains. Named after the talented rap group, Cypress Hill, this strain has all of the flavor and smell you would expect from the godfathers of canna-rap! Loaded with a scent of loud pine and lemon, its effects are both sedative and enjoyable.
What is a Hybrid?
A hybrid cannabis strain is a cross between Indica and Sativa genetics and can inherit the features and structure of both species at different ratios. Cannabis breeders can breed two strains together to create a hybrid strain.
Quite simply, a hybrid is a blend bred to even out energizing and calming effects and often, for farmers to improve yields on strains.
A popular hybrid cannabis strain is Biscotti. A hybrid from the world-renowned Girl Scout Cookies cultivar, this hybrid cannabis strain pleases every sense; from its gorgeously dense nugs to its fruit-infused flavor, Biscotti is a go-to for cannabis connoisseurs.
Why Learn the Difference Between Cannabis Strains Indica, Sativa, Hybrid?
Due to sweeping legalization measures and being deemed an "essential business" during the COVID-19 crisis, cannabis seems to be one of, if not the plant of the decade! Americans in all but 3 states are now ordering or will soon be ordering and consuming some form of regulated cannabis. A plant criminalized for decades, US citizens are now googling different types of cannabis strains from most of the country.
Cannabis has seen a resurgence due to the now pretty undeniable, medicinal and recreational benefits of the plant. We hope to have helped educate you on one of the basics on your cannabis journey, learning the different types of cannabis strains: Indica, Sativa and hybrid.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Terrell Owens has dumped popcorn for higher technological devices.
During a conference call with the New England media Wednesday afternoon at Gillette Stadium, Owens was asked a final question: Do you have any tricks up your sleeve for Monday night's regular-season opener against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium?
And so it begins. Owens has been fairly mild-mannered since he signed with the Buffalo Bills in March. He's been searching for a house (snore) and starred in his own reality show, The T.O. Show on VH1 (snoozefest). But he hadn't broken out a T.O.-like quote until Wednesday. Nor has he gone all Al Capone on his quarterback or even done anything half as entertaining as Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco.
Well, so much for that. Early in the call, Owens said one of his goals this season was to be a "team player" with the Bills and help them at a position where they were lacking when they finished 2-8 last season. Yet, Owens doesn't particularly care for the Bills' newest offensive scheme.
Owens, of course, was released by the Cowboys in March, which still stings him to this day.
Owens also said he's not worried that Bills quarterback Trent Edwards would force throws in his direction to keep him appeased during games. In fact, he said he only caught one ball during Wednesday's practice.
Either way, Owens said he has recovered from the toe injury that limited him throughout training camp and the preseason, and he's more than ready for Monday night. After a down season with the Cowboys, which still resulted in 69 catches, 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns, the 35-year-old receiver said he's got plenty left in the tank for this season and more to come.

Q: "He borrowed me some money."; right or wrong? Can we use borrow as I have in the above sentence in a sense like;

He borrowed (from someone for) me some money.

I wonder if there was a better way of expressing the idea that I am meant to.
Clarification: borrow there is not mistakenly used instead of lend.

A: The shortest way (I can come up with) for saying someone who has borrowed money from another person or entity in order to lend it to a third party would be the following

*

*He borrowed money to give me

The OP's sentence is, from a purely technical viewpoint, ungrammatical. Many native speakers would criticise (an English language teacher would mark it as being incorrect)  and say that the past participle of the verb  lend, i.e. lent should be used instead.

*He lent me some money

The OP's suggestion, WITHOUT context, sounds ambiguous to me. Maybe nowadays it sounds perfectly acceptable in the US and in the UK, and speakers would not be confused,  I simply don't know anymore. As I get older I see that life's little certainties diminish little by little.

*He borrowed me some money

Did the subject, "he", borrow money from the speaker? OR Did "he" lend money to the speaker?
Adding the parenthesis (from someone for) is wordy, confusing and plain bad style, in my humble opinion.
P.S. if the parenthesis was added for the sake of clarity it should go after the sentence, not in the middle.

A: Yes, in the proper context, that is grammatical. It would mean that he borrowed money on your behalf.  It is colloquial, not formal. The use of such 'ethical dative' constructions is regional.

I have to thank John for helping me get this business started. He borrowed me a sizable chunk of change from his venture-capitalist buddies.

P.S. I think from some of the comments below that a few visitors to the site are concerned that I've given you a bum steer, some bad advice.  You're not using the word borrow as some uneducated speakers do who use it in a non-standard manner, as if it meant "lend". An example from Nelson Algren's novel The Man with the Golden Arm:

Frankie dealt ... skipping Sparrow, who professed to be too broke to play...
  "Borrow me a dirty sawbuck, I wanna play too," he asked the players on either side of him, twice each.
  Each time each answered, looking straight ahead at the dealer's eyeshade, "Never play against my own money."
  "Then borrow me a dirty deuce."
  Sparrow was always careful to identify any money he was able to borrow as dirty, suspecting that he thus reduced the obligation slightly.

Don't use it that way, or people will think you flunked out of school.
Neither a borrower nor a borrower be.
--Polonius

A: I think it's gramatically OK, but I'd avoid using it.
I've heard it used colloquially (Black Country, UK), but it had/has a slightly different meaning to the one I think you mean.  In that "He borrowed me some money" would mean the same as "He lent me some money" or "I borrowed some money from him".
 Likewise "borrow me some money?" can be used to mean "Can I borrow some money?".
That use isn't widespread [from my experience], and definitely informal.  I'm not sure it's used outside that area ... but it does exist, so I'd avoid using it because it could be interpreted as that (not knowing the right word, so using a similar word in place ... or intentionally using the 'wrong' word)

A: Wiktionary says:

*(double transitive) To temporarily obtain (something) for (someone).

  Quotations
1681 "Trial of Sir Miles Stapleton", in State Trials, 33 Charles II, page 516:
  Yes, my lord, he told me this in my own house; and I told him he might go to esquire Tindal, and I lent him eighteen pence, and borrowed him a horse in the town.
1866 April 20, Charles W. G. Howard, "Minutes of Evidence Taken Before the Select Committee", in parliamentary debates, House of Commons, page 84, columns {{{columns}}}:
  I went out and borrowed him a night cap; put him my night shirt on, and wrapped him in a blanket.
1999 August 1, "Ronnie Dawson, Singer, Comments on his Career and Music", in NPR_Weekend:
  My folks couldn't afford a guitar, so my dad borrowed me a mandolin one time, and I was just learning to play it pretty good and the guy that he borrowed it from wanted it back.
2006, Laurie Graham, Gone with the Windsors, page 116:
  George Lightfoot seemed to have forgotten he was meant to be a Lost Sheep, and turned up as the Tin Man, but I forgave him, because he'd managed to borrow me a divine brass crazier from one of his bishop friends.

Still doesn't quite feel natural to me, but I'm not a native English speaker. Many people will probably have to think twice to understand who is borrowing what from whom for whom else. You're probably better off being more explicit:

He borrowed some money for me from ...

A: You could, in theory, however it would only cause confusion in my opinion. For the sake of clarity, I would go with "he borrowed some money for me."

A:
He borrowed me a sizable chunk of change from his venture-capitalist buddies.

Has a clearer meaning than this terse example.

He borrowed me money

The sentence above is just plain confusing.
(Normally) We borrow something from someone

*

*I borrowed Dad's car.

*I borrowed the car from Dad.

The giver either lends something to someone or lends someone something

*

*Dad lent the car to me

*Dad lent me the car
The OP supplied the context in their parenthetical phrase, (from someone for)  because they were forced to, otherwise everyone would be telling the OP the verb "borrow" is being used incorrectly. The fact that borrow meaning lend can be used regionally or in many dialectics does not remove the sentence's ambiguity UNLESS context is supplied.
Cambridge Dictionary says

Lend means 'give something to someone for a short time, expecting that you will get it back'. The past simple and the -ed form are lent:
   I never lend my CDs to anyone.
   I lent Gary £30. (I expect that Gary will return this to me)
Borrow is a regular verb meaning 'get something from someone, intending to give it back after a short time':
   Could I borrow your pen for a minute, please?
   Laura used to borrow money from me all the time.
Typical error
When you give something, you lend it; when you get or receive something, you borrow it:
  Can I borrow your dictionary?
  Not: Can I lend your dictionary?

A: Simplest way to clarify: He borrowed for me some money.

A: If you substitute other words such as: "he found me some water", then your example appears to be correct.
A semantic point: IMHO I don't think you can borrow money for someone else. The person could borrow money, then give it to you or lend it to you, but they will always be the one receiving the original loan.
I think using a phrase like, "He borrowed some money on my behalf" makes the intention much more clear.

A: Technically, the dative

He borrowed me some money.

does mean

He lent me some money.

It's just money borrowed from someone else.
To answer the OP's question, it's grammatically right, but (probably) semantically wrong.

A: You should avoid making that kind of statement because it can be incorrect.
Borrow technically means receiving.
Lend on the other hand means giving.
The grammatically correct way to say that would be

He lent me some money.

Sigmund Freud believed that dreams are a window into our unconscious, with recent studies into psychology and neurology proving that the renowned scientist may have been onto something. From a scientific stand point, dreams are the by-product of our brain processing random stimuli from our subconscious whilst we are in R.E.M (Random Eye Movement) sleep, or our deepest form of rest.
There are many other theories, as researchers and scientists continue to peg down the definitive cause of dreaming. That being said, most agree that our dreams are caused by brain activity while we sleep, as it tries to interpret stimuli or attempts to process our day or various memories. This would help explain the sometimes random nature of dreams, the ever changing scenarios or backgrounds and the lack of sense we perceive while dreaming.
More often than not, your dreams will take experiences you've lived through recently, or memorable moments you were reliving prior to sleep, mashing them up in one weird motion picture for your eyes only. Did you watch Jurassic Park last night before going to bed? Had you recently visited your grandparents? Were you and your cousins reminiscing about that time you went to the fair? That could be the reason why your dream last night was you trying to escape an aged care home in a bumper car as you were being chased by velociraptors.
You might wake up confused the following morning trying to decipher your dream, but odds are you will forget it within an hour of being up. Part of the reason for this is your brain was merely interpreting what stimuli your subconscious was firing off, and therefore not committing any of it to memory. It is for that reason that many scientists try and dismiss the idea of reading into dreams and their meanings, as they can often serve as a vicious circle of confirmation bias.
One thing however is for sure, our brain is a complex machine that still has a lot of mysteries and hidden corners that don't give up their processes easily. Whilst we have made many scientific advances as to how are brain works since Freud's day and age, there still remains a lot we do not know. That being said, scientists and researchers are far from being off the right path with the consensus on the matter having been previously explained: your dreams are just a direct result of your brain reliving your day.


These waffles are very light and fluffy for being whole wheat. Very yummy and healthy too.
Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately. Mix dry and wet together whisk until smooth. Pour about 3/4 of a cup of batter at a time onto the waffle iron. You will begin to see steam coming out of the iron. Cook the waffles until the steam is almost gone. Any waffles we don't eat right away get put into the freezer, and we pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack..

Q: Running a bash shell script in java I want to run a shell script from my program below but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've run the same command directly in the linux terminal and it works fine so I'm guessing it's my java code. As you can see, I was first writing the command to the shell script using a PrintWriter but I expect that this would not effect the running of the shell script itself. Any help would be appreciated!
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    String nfdump = "nfdump -o csv -r /home/shane/Documents/nfdump/nfcapd.201211211526>blank.txt";

    try {
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("/home/shane/Documents/script.sh");

        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);

        pw.println("#!/bin/bash");
        pw.println(nfdump);

        pw.close();
    } catch (IOException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

    Process proc = null;

    try {
        proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh /home/shane/Documents/script.sh");
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

A: When you execute a script from Java it spawns a new shell where the PATH environment variable is not
set.
Setting the PATH env variable using the below code should run your script.
String[] env = {"PATH=/bin:/usr/bin/"};
String cmd = "you complete shell command";  //e.g test.sh -dparam1 -oout.txt
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, env);

A: Try this, it will work.
String[] cmd = new String[]{"/bin/sh", "path/to/script.sh"};
Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

A: You should use the returned Process to get the result.
Runtime#exec executes the command as a separate process and returns an object of type Process. You should call Process#waitFor so that your program waits until the new process finishes. Then, you can invoke Process.html#getOutputStream() on the returned Process object to inspect the output of the executed command.
An alternative way of creating a process is to use ProcessBuilder.
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg").start();

With a ProcessBuilder, you list the arguments of the command as separate arguments.
See Difference between ProcessBuilder and Runtime.exec() and ProcessBuilder vs Runtime.exec() to learn more about the differences between Runtime#exec and ProcessBuilder#start.


Spatial and temporal environmental variability can lead to variation in selection pressures across a landscape. Strategies for coping with environmental heterogeneity range from specialized phenotypic responses to a narrow range of conditions to generalist strategies that function under a range of conditions.
Exotic grass invasions are often facilitated by disturbances, which provide opportunities for invasion by releasing pulses of resources available to invaders. Where disturbances such as prescribed fire are used as a management tool, there is a pressing need to identify ecosystem attributes associated with susceptibility to disturbance-induced invasion.
A species' population structure and history are critical pieces of information that can help guide the use of available native plant materials in restoration treatments and decide what new native plant materials should be developed to meet future restoration needs.
This study evaluated the effects of species, sowing depth and dormancy status, and the treatment effect of row cover on field emergence of 20 forbs native to the Great Basin. Implemented at three sites in 2013 and 2014, forb seeds were sown at four planting depths within the expected variation of the Kemmerer Rangeland or Truax Rough Rider drills.

Opening Gates Towards Large Scale Industrial Application in Hydrogen Production
New findings will allow for increased efficiency and functionality of modern hydrogen purification and production reactors
In a combined theoretical and experimental effort, an international team of researchers from the Group for Computational Life Sciences at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in collaboration with researchers at the Friedrich-Alexander Erlangen-Nürnberg University (FAU) have recently made a breakthrough in modelling the mechanism of the production of hydrogen gas in the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR). The process involves conversion of water and carbon monoxide into hydrogen and carbon dioxide, with a help of a ruthenium-based catalyst.
The study was published on the inside cover of one of the most influential journals in the field - 'Angewandte Chemie International Edition'.
The emergent hydrogen is considered to be one of the leading alternatives to the widely used fossil fuels. The newfound understanding of the processes underlying the most efficient implementation of the WGSR allows for additional fine tuning of the reactor outputs, effectively opening the gates towards large scale industrial application in hydrogen production.
"The reaction is based on the conversion of water and carbon monoxide into hydrogen and carbon dioxide, while using a ruthenium-based catalyst, that shows excellent results at low temperatures. These new findings on the processes underlying this, for the time being, most promising WGSR application, allow for the enhanced efficiency and functionality of modern hydrogen purification and production reactors." - explains Robert Stepic, the first author and a PhD fellow in the RBI Group for Computational Life Sciences and PULS Group at the FAU Institute of Theoretical Physics.
The study is a collaborative effort of the researchers from the PULS Group at Institute for Theoretical Physics led by Ana-Suncana Smith, the Institute for Chemical Engineering led by Peter Wasserscheid and Marco Haumann, and the researchers from the RBI, headed by David. M. Smith.
This study is a fusion of the research done by the RBI Group for Computational Life Sciences on the Croatian Science Foundation project - CompSoLSMolFlex and the work done by the research team at the Excellence Cluster "Engineering of Advanced Materials" at the FAU, under the auspices of the Croatian-German bilateral cooperation, funded by the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education (MZO) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Better Each Day Podcast Radio Show with Bruce Hilliard
2nd Jan 2022
New "Aberdeen" Friends, Auld Lang Syne and Flying Burritos' Chris James with Bruce Hilliard
Hello hello and Happy New Year to all. Recently I had the pleasure of talking to a couple of former residents of my childhood home on 10th street in Aberdeen WA. They lived there as kids in the late fifties and moved out when their father died in 1960.
For years I wondered what had happened to those kids, roughly my age, that lived there before us. It turns out they used the same rec room for shows and rehearsals as we did years later. There was a room that just called out for audiences and performers.
They knew the neighborhood and some of the same teachers and businesses that have since passed. I think it's always comforting to know that the house you once lived in, had spent special occasions in, slept and grew in is still there and being cared for properly. Houses have soul.
But the music in the house, and I noticed this right when we started to move in, seemed to be there for the taking. There was a jukebox full of 78 rpm records left behind. There was that but there was an inherent sense of "hey, my uncle has a barn, let's put on a show" to it. And they did and so did we.
We had rock bands as we got older and into the 70s. What started as little kid marionette shows and really crappy cover bands morphed into a band that would open for Heart and the Ramones and would carry on a tradition in Aberdeen. A tradition of good music that doesn't really have a start and a finish.
But, I have to say when I got off the phone with the former kids of my house, for the rest of the day I felt I'd just seen a great movie. An unforeseen feel good flick.
In this show we'll feature a few of my friends, Dean Backholm and the Murchy Brothers that played in this particular basement rec room for some formative years when we cranked our amps up to 11 and shook the glasses off the bar shelves.
Our next guest can relate to this band start up thing. Chris James is the current main vocalist of the Burrito Brothers, be they Flying or Notorious Burrito brothers. The band that laid the eggs for the Byrds and the Eagles.
Love is a River from the Flying Burrito Brothers' Notorious Burrito Brothers album. And my life brothers that were a huge part of the Aberdeen 10th Street rec room Ed Sullivan show, here's On the Harbor by the Murchy Brothers.
And Montreal by Dean Backholm.
My new friends that used to occupy my childhood home before me, Morry and Judy, are awesome and I'm so glad we talked for an hour or so. It sounds like an episode to me. It already sounds like "hey, my uncle has a barn, let's put on a show!"
Well, I know now they moved to California. Thanks so much for the listen. Let's make 2022 a year of less blame and shame and more Better Each Day.

When the stakes are high, you need your people to deliver.
We create experiences that connect people to purpose and motivate them to change.
What sets successful organizations apart? It's not processes, practices, or products. It's people. And people can be very, very complicated. That's why we take what we know about people—from their hopes and fears to their habits and stories—and apply it to every aspect of our culture work.
Whether you're a team stuck at an impasse or an entire organization in need of a mindset shift, we first put your DNA under a microscope to examine the beliefs, stories, and behaviors holding you back. Then we help your team shape the norms and narratives that will propel you forward.
Your business relies on the collective intelligence of its people, and a healthy culture is the key to unleashing it. We help you create an environment where people can thrive—one that attracts the talent you need and retains the people who make your company great.
Teams need shared experiences, stories, and norms to perform at their peak. We help them co-create all three through immersive offsites and working sessions that create moments of vulnerability, self-reflection, and insight. From there, we help teams commit to a new way of working together.
Any culture work must be authentic to your organization. That's why we find your employees that best represent the kind of culture you want and give their stories a megaphone. From beautiful print and digital communications to thought-provoking podcasts and compelling videos, we help your team connect to new possibilities.

Alexander Mărmureanu shows his support for Romanian surgeon Marian Gașpar
Dr. Marmureanu has expressed his support, through an open letter, towards his colleague, Prof. Dr. Marian Gaspar, head of the Adult & Children Cardiovascular Surgery section from the Institute of Cardiology in Timisoara, detained after the prosecutors allegedly caught him red-handed while taking 1,000 euros from a patient.
Colleagues from the medical field showed support for Marian Gaspar, one of the best-known cardiological surgeons in Romania, but also in support of his patients, in the context of which the law enforcement officers filed, on Monday, the detention of the doctor for 24 hours.
Dr. Alexander Marmureanu firmly states that his opinion - as well as that of other colleagues from all over the world with whom he has spoken on the phone or exchanged e-mails since Monday - is that this situation is "a total disgrace".
He motivated his statement by explaining that there are many children who die in 10 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours if they don't get the surgery because it's very hard to find a surgeon as good as him. See the full article here.

Finally, the long awaited debut of the redesigned SAT took place on March 5th to mixed reviews — not with respect to the quality of the test, but to its difficulty.
Multiple Versions: There were confirmed multiple versions of the test given on March 5th. Students sharing their test-day experience with fellow students were surprised to find that some of their colleagues had taken a completely different test. Math questions and reading passages did not match up, which left some students baffled and bewildered. Of course, it is easy to understand why this would be. The College Board needs to pre-test as many questions as possible in order to satiate the appetites of students hungry for more practice materials than are currently available.

Ever had the feeling someone was peeking inside your soul?
To say I could relate to this was a gross under statement. I would joke and put my manic lifestyle down to having ADHD (self diagnosed of course) driven, determined over achiever. In sad reality, I was simply treading water as fast as I could and didn't have time to catch my breath. I actually knew I held my breath through the day. I shovelled food down standing up, doesn't every mother do that?
So… on reflection of this video I know without a doubt it is all true for me 100% even the running part! I get up 3 mornings a week at 4.28am and run with my beloved RK POD running group and I still carry extra kilos that I cant shake. I crave caffeine and sugar (organic absolutely) just to get me through.
What do we do now?? How do we stop? My belief system is as follows…. If you stop the company and everyone will collapse. Its not safe to stop. So keep going and giving 200% until you collapse.
So I wait… I wait until my path is clear and I discover how to have balance and re group. I will pray for doors to be open and joy to fill my being once more. And I am open and willing to change….
The question that lingers in my mind is what if its boring when I stop?
