Singing gives shape
to story's song
By Tim Ryan
Star-Bulletin
Crooner-turned-jazz singer Kenny Rankin says he's "paid to travel, leave home, sit on an airport tarmac for two hours, accept canceled flights, live in a room he's never seen before or will ever see again.
"The singing I do for nothing," Rankin says, "And I've never had it so good."
Rankin, who performs Saturday on the Big Island at the Hilton Waikoloa's Dolphin Days Summer Fest, possesses one of the purest voices in music. Whether he presents an original composition like "Haven't We Met" or "Peaceful;" interprets Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" or Jo Stafford's 1947 hit "Sunday Kind Of Love," Rankin's focus on tones and blending lyrics with a rhythmic cadence seems to defy category and genre, though these days he calls himself "a jazz singer."
"When I pick a song it's about what's being said; I hardly listen to music at first," he said in a phone interview from his home in California. "What draws me is the lyrics, the story, the pictures, the images. Then I take poetic license as an interpreter and shape it in a different way."
Rankin said a song's notes are "not pragmatic little marks on paper ... but aspects of the tonal spectrum which, to me, are colors. That's what gives rise to whatever note I, without thinking, come up with. It's in my head."
Rankin, who doesn't read music and never studied voice, recorded his first song at age 17, then signed with Decca in 1957, releasing a handful of singles over the next decade.
Fame as a recording artist was elusive, but Rankin made a name as a songwriter. Peggy Lee recorded his "In the Name of Love;" Carmen McRae recorded "Haven't We Met," also recorded by Mel Torme. Rankin's "My Carousel" was the B-side of Andy Williams' 1965 hit "And Roses and Roses."
In the mid-'60s, Rankin performed on "The Tonight Show" some 25 times over two years. Host Johnny Carson became such a fan he wrote the liner notes for Rankin's 1967 debut album, "Mind-Dusters."
That's about the time Rankin taught himself to play guitar. Three years later, he was playing rhythm guitar for Bob Dylan on "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Maggie's Farm" for the landmark "Bringing It All Back Home" album.
Rankin says he's been influenced musically by "everyone."
"Thelonius Monk said 'If it's good it's good,' " Rankin said. "Whether it's rap, Lauro Nyro, Sting or Shania Twain, though I don't understand Neil Diamond or Garth Brooks."
Rankin muses that he would like to hear singers and groups sing a cappella without using technology to correct voice flaws.
"I like to record music; they like to make records," he said. "I'm not in a business but part of a musical community. Business puts you in a competition; I'm not in competition with anybody."

Culture, Media and Sport
Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council
The Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy (Mr Edward Vaizey): A meeting of the Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council was held in Brussels on 24 November. Fiona Hyslop, Scottish Government Minister for Culture, Europe, and External Affairs, represented the UK for the cultural and audio-visual section of the Council and Shan Morgan, the UK's Deputy Permanent Representative, represented the UK for the sport section of the Council.
Culture and audiovisual
The overarching theme of this ministerial Council was the relationship between culture and foreign policy, within the context of the destruction of cultural heritage in Syria by ISIS, and the recent attacks in Paris.
The Council adopted Conclusions on culture in the EU's external relations, with a specific focus on development co-operation: as well as conclusions amending the EU work plan for culture 2015-18 to add a new priority of intercultural dialogue, so as to address the current migration crisis.
Ministers debated how best to act together against the destruction and illicit trafficking of cultural heritage in conflict areas, with the focus on the international community, and the need to mitigate the effects of the fragmentation of competences and legislation in this area.
The UK confirmed its determination to play a full part in the protection of cultural heritage, and highlighted its work on the establishment of a cultural protection fund. It also drew attention to the significant experience that has been built up in digital documentation and visualisation of the historic environment through the Scottish Ten programme.
Overall the UK policy in this area is to preserve, to prevent, and to protect, and we underlined the importance of targeted EU interventions or actions that played to its area of competence and avoided duplication with other international bodies.
During the course of the ensuing discussion on culture and digitisation the UK noted the importance of digitisation as a powerful tool which can help deliver many cultural, social, and educational initiatives.
On the specific issue of the Europeana digital cultural portal, we noted the need to develop a sustainable funding model which did not exclude the participation of private-sector organisations, including those which were in a position to either contribute content, or to introduce Europeana to a wider audience.
Under other business, the European Commission updated on the current situation concerning the regulatory fitness and performance (REFIT) exercise in the audio-visual sector, and other relevant initiatives of the Digital Single Market Strategy.
Its public consultation on the audio-visual media services directive had revealed a very strong majority in support of maintaining the country of origin principle for regulating broadcast media, as well as for extending the scope of the instrument to include new types of services.
There was divergence on how to enhance protection of minors, commercial works and communications. The Commission confirmed that the first of the copyright regime proposals, on portability and unjustified geoblocking, would be published in the first half of 2016.
Finally, under this part of the agenda, the Council took note from the Netherlands delegation of its main priorities in the field of culture when it takes over the presidency for the period January - June 2016. These will include the importance of digitisation for the preservation and dissemination of culture, and the need to establish a sustainable funding model for the Europeana digital culture portal.
The Council adopted conclusions on EU representation in the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA): and also on the promotion of motor skills, physical and sport activities for children.
These were followed by a policy debate on the educational potential of sports: in helping disadvantaged youth find their place in society. The debate was introduced by two external speakers, of which Olympic champion Ed Moses described the struggle to build an evidence base for convincing media and Government that the sports sector was credible in playing a role, and appealed to Governments to think longer-term and fund research. He was followed by the Premier League, which introduced a video of its Crystal Palace FC project, from which two participants had since built careers in Premier League clubs.
The UK described several of its projects in this area, such as Get on Track, and was the only member state to emphasise the importance of including young people with disabilities.
Under other business: The Council was subsequently briefed by the presidency on the state of play regarding the European Union's signing of the Council of Europe Convention on the manipulation of sports competitions.
The Council was also briefed by the EU representatives on the outcome of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) meeting which took place in Colorado Springs on 17 - 18 November 2015. The UK's Sports Minister, Tracey Crouch, has been named as the newly elected EU representative on the WADA Foundation Board for the UK-Estonia-Bulgaria presidency trio, and will take up her post in 2016. Two of the three EU member states that were not yet fully code-compliant, Greece and Spain, (the third being the Czech Republic) intervened to stress they were preparing the required amendments to national legislation.
This was followed by information on the informal meeting of Ministers for Sport, held in Luxembourg from 06 - 07 July 2015: and guidelines presented by the European Commission on next year's European week of sport.
Finally, under other business the Council took note of information from the Netherlands delegation of its main priorities in the field of sport when it takes over
the presidency for the period January - June 2016. These will include the promotion of good governance and education in and through sport, with specific attention paid to international major sports events, sport diplomacy and voluntary activities.

Education and Adoption Bill
The Secretary of State for Education (Nicky Morgan): We have today announced that we will table a substantive Government amendment to the Education and Adoption Bill.
The Bill fulfils the Government's manifesto commitment to raise standards across the country by speeding up the process by which failing maintained schools become sponsored academies, as well as introducing new measures to allow us properly to tackle coasting schools for the first time. The Bill seeks to improve the life chances of every child and ensure that all children have the same opportunities to fulfil their potential, wherever they live. These principles are at the heart of the Government's education agenda.
As currently drafted, the Bill focuses on ensuring Regional Schools Commissioners (RSCs)—acting on my behalf—have the powers they need to tackle failing and coasting maintained schools. The Bill does not apply to academies and free schools as they are governed by a different legal framework—they are held to account through a legally binding contract known as a funding agreement.
The vast majority of academies are performing well and the academy programme is central to our commitment to extending opportunity through delivering educational excellence in every part of the country. I am clear, however, that underperformance is unacceptable wherever it occurs—whether that is in a maintained school or an academy. We have already shown that we are tough on underperforming academies and that RSCs take robust action where needed—we have issued 122 formal notices to underperforming academies and free schools and moved to change the sponsor in 118 cases of particular concern. Our formal powers in relation to underperforming academies can, however, vary depending on the terms of an academy's funding agreement. In a minority of cases, this can hinder our ability to intervene as swiftly as we would like. This is unacceptable and at the heart of this Bill lies our belief that a single day spent by a child in an underperforming schools is a day too many. We have also taken the views of some of our leading sponsors, who tell us they are frustrated that not being able to act swiftly in a few cases of high-profile failure creates a misleading picture of the work that is being done by academies across England to raise standards and transform young lives.
I am responding with an amendment to the Bill designed to ensure that RSCs always have the power to act whenever or wherever they encounter underperformance in our schools. I propose to amend the Bill so that when an academy or free school's performance meets one of two triggers in legislation—an inadequate Ofsted judgement
or performance that falls within the coasting definition—then their funding agreement will be read as having the latest provisions around failing and coasting schools. The amendment will not impinge on academy freedoms; on the contrary, it reinforces the central principle of the academy programme—trusting heads to run their schools through freedom and autonomy, but at the same time holding them to account for the results their pupils achieve. This amendment will not lead to any interference from central Government in the academies and free schools that are performing well.
In practice, the amendment will ensure that we can move any failing academy swiftly to a new sponsor. The amendment will also subject academies to the same coasting definition as maintained schools and where a coasting academy does not have a credible plan, further action will be taken by RSCs. This could ultimately include terminating the funding agreement and bringing in a new sponsor if necessary.
The amendment will create a more consistent framework for tackling underperformance across all types of schools and stands as another example of our determination to create a world class education system. The amendment will be tabled this week and first debated when the Bill returns to the House of Lords for Report Stage (currently scheduled to take place on 16 December 2015).
NHS: Charging Overseas Visitors and Migrants
The Secretary of State for Health (Mr Jeremy Hunt): The visitor and migrant National Health Service cost recovery programme was established in July 2014 to design and implement improvements in the systems for charging patients who are not resident of the United Kingdom. The programme has focused so far on improving identification and cost recovery from chargeable patients in hospitals.
I am pleased to announce the Department of Health will now be seeking the public's views on extending charging of overseas visitors and migrants who use the National Health Service. We have proposed a number of changes to enable overseas visitors and migrants to be charged for NHS healthcare they receive, in addition to the existing system for cost recovery for hospital treatment. The proposed extension of charging will not affect free healthcare at the point of use for permanent residents of the UK.
The consultation seeks opinions on proposals affecting:
Primary Medical Care
NHS Prescriptions
Primary NHS Dental Care
Primary NHS Ophthalmic Services (Eye Care)
Accident and Emergency (A&E)
Non-NHS providers of NHS Care and Out-of-Hospital Care
EEA National's residency definition
Overseas visitors working on UK-registered ships
The consultation also seeks views on any further areas that could be considered for charging.
The proposals explored within the consultation aim to support the principle of fairness by ensuring those not resident in the United Kingdom who can pay for National Health Service care do so. The proposals we are consulting on do not intend to restrict access, but aim to ensure everyone makes a fair contribution for the care they receive.
We propose that the most vulnerable people, including refugees, remain exempt from charging. Furthermore, the National Health Service will not deny urgent and immediately necessary healthcare to those in need, regardless of residency. We also propose that exemptions from charging will also remain in place for illnesses that pose a risk to public health.
The potential income generated through the extension of charging will contribute towards the Department of Health's aim of recovering up to £500 million per year from overseas migrants and visitors by the middle of this Parliament (2017/18). The recovery of up to £500 million per year will contribute to the £22 billion savings required to ensure the long-term sustainability of the National Health Service.

Stalking Protection Order: Consultation
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mrs Theresa May): On Saturday 5 December, I launched a public consultation on introducing a new stalking protection order. Stalking is an insidious crime which traumatises its victims and, at its most extreme, can lead to the loss of innocent lives. We are addressing stalking as part of our wider work to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) and the work we are driving in this area will be captured in our refreshed VAWG strategy to be published in due course.
We introduced new legislation in 2012 to fill a gap in the law to tackle stalking and have driven a programme of training for police and prosecutors to ensure that stalking is recognised and dealt with effectively. Prosecutions are rising which is encouraging. However, I want to be absolutely sure that we are doing all we can to protect victims from this frightening act, which can cause considerable distress and alarm.
The nature of stalking can be delusional and obsessive and while the actions of a stalker can seem innocuous on the surface, there is a risk that the developing fixation may be missed. Early identification of stalking behaviour is crucial and I am determined that this Government will do everything possible to protect victims and deter perpetrators, even before the stage is reached to commence prosecution.
We know that stalking can take place in the context of an ongoing pattern of domestic violence and abuse and we have introduced a range of measures to protect victims in these circumstances, including the domestic violence disclosure scheme, and the domestic violence protection order. Our stalking legislation, along with the new offence of coercive or controlling behaviour, is already helping to protect victims from this abuse.
However, in around half of cases, stalking occurs where only a very casual acquaintanceship exists between the perpetrator and their victim. While existing injunctions or orders may place restrictions on a stalker, this alone will often not deter them from their behaviour. Stalking needs to be recognised for what it is to ensure interventions are effective and meaningful.
A new stalking protection order could ensure that pre-charge options are available to the police to protect these victims of 'stranger stalking' to the same level that victims of domestic violence and abuse can be protected. The consultation will explore whether 'positive requirements' can be placed on perpetrators at this early stage to help stop their behaviour in its tracks.
I launched the consultation on 5 December during the 16 days of actions following the international day for the elimination of violence against women on 25 November. The consultation can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/introducing-a-stalking-protection-order.
A copy will also be placed in the House Library.

Samsung's bid to make a serious impact in the enterprise mobility market has been boosted by a major update to its Knox mobile security and management platform, which brings a host of new features and support for third party containers.
Knox 2.0 promises to protect devices from the hardware to the application and will be made available during the second quarter of 2014, with existing customers able to upgrade once they have installed Android KitKat. The software comes preinstalled with the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S5.
New security features include TrustZone-protected certificate management, which generates and maintains client certificates, and a Knox key store which allows third parties to use encryption to secure their applications. Administrators will also benefit from real-time monitoring, while Knox also supports two-factor authentication for fingerprint and password log-ins, as well as support for per-app VPN functions.
Knox 2.0 features support for most Android apps, removing the need to go through the wrapping process for third-party applications. It also supports third-party containers. Samsung has agreed a deal with Good Technology, adding another layer of application security.
"Good is the first partner afforded a secure domain on KNOX-enabled devices, and we believe this integration will greatly accelerate Android adoption for our enterprise customers," says Injong Rhee, senior vice president of Samsung Knox.
"This is a huge win for Samsung and Good customers. Because Good's apps and container security layer have a unique place in the KNOX stack, Good customers can now benefit from KNOX's hardware- and OS- level security," adds Christy Wyatt, president and CEO of Good Technology.
Samsung has also added dual access point name (APN) support to the platform, allowing it to distinguish between personal and business app use, and separate bill charges – something which Samsung says solves on the biggest barriers to BYOD adoption.
Additionally, Knox 2.0 features an enterprise mobility management (EMM) service which has more than 326 IT policies, support for single sign-on and a new marketplace for Knox and enterprise cloud apps, with more than 140 applications available.
Samsung Knox was originally announced at last year's Mobile World Congress and launched in October 2013. Since then, Samsung claims to have sold more than 25 million Knox-enabled devices and the service already attracted more than one million users, with 210,000 activated each month.
The Korean manufacturer told TechWeekEurope of its plans for a major enterprise push last year, explaining that it was looking to the business market to maintain growth, amid fears of smartphone saturation in developed markets.

Promotes continuity of care through continued assessment and evaluation of patient care. It is on record that President Muhammadu Buhari, publicly immunized his grandchild and is building on the work of his predecessors to ensure that polio is fully eradicated from Nigeria.
Strengthen core public health functions: We put in place mechanism for prioritization based on the burden of disease, effort to improve coordination and alignment of various efforts, improve data tracking of implementation performance and provide technical and problem-solving support to the various implementers at federal and sub-national levels.
Moreover, addressing health problems requires an intersectoral approach at the local level, integrating health and welfare sectors with housing, work, education, and infrastructure.
Preventable diseases like malaria, measles, bacterial meningitis, infectious diarrheal diseases, and malnutrition account for most of the childhood deaths.
In other cases, medical specialists may see patients without a referral, and patients may decide whether self-referral is preferred.
Primary health care aims to promote health and prevent disease, using education as one of its main tools. The research identified a set of innovations that could enhance the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of primary care in the United States. Clearly, there is health sector value chain, in both social as well direct economic dimensions, through better quality workforce, more economic productivity, as well as multiplier effects through service provision, manufacturing, logistics etc.
We should also undertake deliberate efforts to systematically engage communities, traditional, and religious leaders in health programs that affect them, as was demonstrated successfully in the fight against poliomyelitis. From public health policy making we should move towards healthy public policy making, whereby the intersectoral aspects are addressed in our policies right at the outset.
Content in this course is presented within a framework of evidence-informed decision-making. Primary Health Care is positioned as a model for health care that supports partnership relationships, community activism and advocacy, facilitating access and equity, and capacity building.
The difficulty for local authorities is to adapt their care system to the increased needs of the individuals living within their neighborhoods. Acts as a consultant in the community for quality health care.
Primary care is often used as the term for the health care services that play a role in the local community. Classes are in seminar format and students have the opportunity to explore and critique issues that arise from the readings and how they relate to clinical practice and concurrent Year 2 courses.
It sees health as dependent on the environment in which people live, the services to which they have access and the extent to which they are able to take responsibility for their health. In addition, we face growing challenge of non-communicable diseases NCDslargely due to ageing population and lifestyle changes.
It is on the shoulders of these giants that the recent progress in Nigeria's health systems were made. Bythe GCC will require a total ofhospital beds,physicians, andnurses to maintain current care levels.
Through the adoption of new patient care delivery models that include physicians working in tandem with nurse practitioners and physician assistants, demand for future primary care services could be met.
Even where health is raised, it is in the context of construction projects and contracts, for obvious reasons.Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Education in Ontario is delivered by a consortium of nine universities under COUPN (Council of Ontario University Programs in Nursing).

Q: Force browsers to forget cached redirects? I inherited a domain that previously had a 301 redirect from the root ("/") to "/index.shtml"
I've removed the redirect and a different site on the domain, but people who visited the site in the past will have the redirect behavior cached in their browsers... for a terribly long time, unless they manually clear their caches.
Anyone trying to go to example.com in these browsers will be sent to example.com/index.shtml before they even make any HTTP requests. Right now this is a huge problem because there is no index.shtml, but is there something I can do with headers to tell browsers to "forget about that redirect you just did!"?

A: This can be done by a clear data-only cache.
It can remove all,.htaccess redirects changes from the browser.

A: The short answer: There is no way to tell the browsers of the users to "forget" the R 301 redirect. 301 means permanent, it can be only undone on action of the user or when the cache expires.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2
Similar Q and A on Stackoverflow:
Apache - how to disable browser caching while debugging htaccess,
Cannot remove 301 redirect
Try to avoid 301 redirects and use 302 (temporarily) instead. Here is an article how to set no cache for 301 redirects (didn't try it):
https://github.com/markkolich/blog/blob/master/content/entries/set-cache-control-and-expires-headers-on-a-redirect-with-mod-rewrite.md
What you could do in your scenario: You could add a header redirect to the file index.shtml, which sends the user to the original file, where he should usually go.

N2 - Objectives: To describe the prevalence of obesity, smoking, and both health risk factors together among adults in the United States. Design: Cross sectional analysis of a national health interview survey. Setting: United States. Participants: 29 305 adults (aged ≥ 18) in 2002. Main outcome measures: Prevalence of adults who are obese (body mass index ≥ 30), who smoke, and who are obese and smoke. Prevalence was stratified by age, sex, ethnic group, education, and income. Results: 23.5% of adults were obese, 22.7% smoked, and 4.7% smoked and were obese. Conclusions: Although the proportion of adults who smoke and are obese is relatively low, this subgroup is concentrated among lower socioeconomic groups.

One benefit of American manufacturing and materials is the exposure we have to aerospace and defense critical technologies available nowhere else in the world. The SHIFT technology seen in our hubs is a perfect example of this. Many manufacturers use 6061, a very inexpensive alloy, but these designs require more aluminum mass in the part (more weight) and can be less efficient to produce on modern equipment due to its soft nature. The upside of 6061 is that is very tough, or resistant to cracking, so it will make hub flanges that can deform easily but generally will not crack. Through intense development with Alcoa Zipp has moved to a proprietary alloy called Z310.9 which is nearly twice the strength of 6061 while being slightly more crack resistant, and further increased the performance through a radical manufacturing process called SHIFT: Spoke Hole Impact Forming Technology.
But here comes the high technology part of the exercise. The Zipp team developed an impact forming process to essentially forge each individual spoke hole to eliminate stress risers, develop favorable localized grain structure, and increase localized hardness all at the same time, and Z310.9 became the perfect alloy for the job.
The other beauty of the SHIFT process is that instead of removing material from the flange as in traditional processes, all the original material remains, and is simply forged into the surrounding flange geometry.
The only downside of this shift technology is that the tooling is specific to each spoke count, and is very expensive. Currently 16, 18, and 24 hole front hubs are made, and 20, 24 hole rear hubs are made, which seems to fill most any need. The overall flange performance is so dramatically improved that radial lacing will not void the hub warranty, and is even acceptable in cyclocross wheelsets.

Vine brought a lot of talent and personages into the public eye back when it was still functional. Given the similarity of Vine and the new short-video platform Tik-Tok, do you think the new site will encourage people to make the sort of content which would make them ideal as social media influencers? Or do you think that the hype's died down for that medium?

I doubt it. Tik Tok is more like musically than Vine and musically didn't produce "influencers" per se like Vine did. It's because in Vine and musically, it's just them doing skits over music/voice overs. There's no "popularity contest" in Tik Tok I believe like there was in Vine and that brought people like Jake and Logan Paul to be influencers.

Those who miss Vine videos may find some solace in TikTok. The Chinese short-form video app has been gaining global momentum. It's been downloaded about 80 million times in the United States, and nearly 800 million times worldwide, according to data from mobile research firm Sensor Tower. Those figures exclude Android users in China. Users share short videos of themselves cooking, dancing, lip-syncing or doing regular tasks like brushing their teeth. The videos, which often feature music in the background, can be sped up, slowed down or edited with a filter. Similarly to Instagram, users can follow others and "heart" or comment on videos. TikTok videos are also being reposted to other platforms, like Twitter and Instagram.

But unlike Vine where the content creators themselves are posting their Vines to Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and/or Facebook, Tik Tok users aren't. And maybe that's the problem why we aren't seeing "Tik Tok stars" the same way Viners did back when it was alive.

What is Tik-Tok exactly? I always see the app being advertised on YouTube. Is it a new form of video sharing website that creators can also earn from or is it like a social media platform like Facebook and Instagram?

Tik tok is gaining popularity these days. I hope it becomes successful like Dubsmash and give us some more entertainment in the future. I have been getting a lot of ads on my internet search and on facebook relating to Tik Tok these days.

I think not because ticktock its a music video or something which not a good concept of influence I think it's better to have a campaign on what the worlds now and why nature influence us, we should make some app that thinks about world not an app that only fame a person for those dumb video crazy something.

Tiktok seems to be an interesting and fun app. I was able to use it together with my colleagues. I'm not quite sure though if it has the power to be social media sites that has a lot of users. It seems to be more of an app for fun.

With its growing base, it won't be impossible for Tiktok to be used as an avenue by new influencers in the future. It seems interesting, however my concern is that it's not unique - it seems quite similar to musical.ly or vine.

According to wikipedia TikTok, is also known as Douyin (Chinese: 抖音; pinyin: Dǒuyīn; literally: "vibrating sound") in China, is a media app for creating and sharing short videos. Owned by ByteDance, the media app was launched as Duoyin in China in September 2016 and introduced to the overseas market as TikTok one year later. It is a leading short video platform in Asia, United States and has extended to other parts of the world. In 2018, the application gained popularity and became the most downloaded app in the U.S. in October 2018. As of 2018, it's available in over 150 markets, and in 75 languages. The application allows users to create short videos of 15 seconds, as of July 2018, the app has achieved more than 500 million global users across 150 countries.

Well, I heard that you earn sort of coins to help "musers" by sending them virtual gifts. But these gifts are still used within the the platform so I am not too sure if "musers" really earn money by using the app.

Statement about the events of Jan. 6, 2021
President Eduardo M. Ochoa sent this statement to all students, faculty, and staff on Jan. 8, 2021.
Like many, if not most of you, I watched in horror as live news coverage of the counting and recording of the votes of the US Electoral College by a joint session of Congress was violently halted and switched to the seditious mob outside storming the hallowed halls of the Capitol. The same chambers and hallways that I walked in awe of and in reverence during my service in the Obama administration were desecrated by invaders waving Confederate flags and shouting slogans of hatred, white supremacy, and paranoid right-wing conspiracy theories. Our elected officials, under siege, were forced to evacuate the House and Senate chambers. The hopelessly outnumbered Capitol Police were attacked, one of them dead after being hit over the head with a fire extinguisher. Four other people died. An inexplicably weak presence of security forces was deployed, in stark contrast with the outsized forces marshaled against Black Lives Matter protests in months past. Hours went by as the rioters meandered about the building and gradually started to leave under the gentlest of prodding by security personnel with very few arrests. These images will be seared in our memories, as we witnessed the first violation of democracy's house since the British-American War of 1812.
But this was not a foreign army. These were some of our fellow citizens, fed a steady diet of misinformation and conspiracy theories, deluded into thinking they are patriots. And on Jan. 6, they were directed and encouraged by our own President into these heinous acts, a President unwilling to accept the results of an election in which the people had spoken. The damage to the soul of our nation, our image in the world, our own sense of who we are or aspire to be, is incalculable. And at the same time, almost unnoticed, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to surge, reaching 4,000 dead in one day, more than died in 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. The mind reels, the heart breaks.
But there are other positive forces at work, and I am confident that they will prevail. The runoff elections in Georgia were carried out without incident and with enormous turnout. The defeated candidates conceded. The Congress, undeterred by the hooligans who delayed their session, reconvened and performed their constitutional duty. The Biden administration continues to announce competent, experienced women and men to fill the senior positions of our next government to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.
We have a tremendous task ahead in restoring a unity of purpose and the ability to have rational, civil discourse to solve our nation's problems. We can take pride in the culture and values of our university community that guide our sacred work of education and take comfort in the fact that we are part of the solution and not part of the problem. We will need to redouble our efforts as a university community to contribute within our sphere of influence to the healing of our nation, and I know we can. Please know that we are together in this and that I love and appreciate all of you.

Amir Peretz: I'm going to be Prime Minister
Former Defense Minister vows to retake Labor leadership, then triumph in elections.
Yoel Domb, 27/09/16 09:30
Amir Peretz, file
Miriam Alster/Flash90
Amir Peretz says he is ready to conquer the seat of Prime Minister after he recaptures the Labor party leadership. Peretz spoke to the legal journal Orech Din about his plans to win the premiership.
Peretz is convinced that the next Prime Minister will not be Netanyahu and sees himself as a worthy successor.
However, he must first garner internal support in the Labor party.
"I have begun a new journey, a journey between Afikim, Afeka, and Ofakim", said Peretz, referencing towns representing all strata of Israeli society.
"This journey is meant to break the ethnic barriers which have been created in the State of Israel, which are exploited by too many people for negative reasons. I intend to create the coalition needed to change the government in Israel. It is an opportune time now, I have no doubt that most of the residents of the state of Israel wish for a change in government, each one for his own reasons."
Peretz argues that Netanyahu has reached the stage that he has "exhausted his capabilities" and this feeling is trickling down to the public. He maintains that what is needed is unity between left and right-wing voters and the key lies with the Likud voters who he claims are much more moderate and willing to compromise than their leaders, who "compete who is more extreme among them." Peretz hopes to tempt those moderate voters from the social periphery to join the Labor party.
"I come today with a complete set of values in all areas of leadership. I was the one who placed the topic of social justice in the public eye when I served as head of the Histadrut and I initiated the central issues of minimum wages, pensions for everyone, weakening of the manpower companies, national health etc. I waged a public battle daily over all of these issues, so I am ready and have considerable experience."
Peretz says he intends to return the "ethnic genie" (an expression used to describe the tension and social disparity between Ashkenazim and Sefardim in Israeli society) to its bottle. "When I was elected leader of Labor I said that if a child who grew up in a "Ma'abara" (temporary home for new immigrants) ended up leader of the Labor party, we have buried the ethnic genie for good. Unfortunately it has arisen again lately and many politicians are exploiting it for political purposes."

Research Centers and Programs
Center for Global Infectious Disease Research
Smith Lab
The Smith Lab studies endothelial dysfunction associated with infection with Plasmodium falciparum. A major virulence determinant of P. falciparum infection is the sequestration of infected red blood cells to the endothelial lining of blood vessels. Sequestration allows parasites to avoid passage through the spleen where they would be eliminated, but it can act as a trigger for severe malaria when large numbers of infected red blood cells accumulate in critical organs, such as the brain (cerebral malaria) and placenta (malaria during pregnancy). A major research interest for the Smith Lab is to decipher how infected red blood cells attach to different microvascular beds and understanding vascular disease mechanisms caused by sequestered parasites.
Binding of infected red blood cells to blood vessels is mediated by a large and diverse family of parasite adhesion proteins, called PfEMP1. To avoid immune destruction, malaria parasites use a sophisticated strategy called clonal antigenic variation to specifically express only one PfEMP1 on the red blood cell membrane at a time and vary expression between PfEMP1 family members. This immune evasion strategy enables parasites to stay one step ahead of the host protective antibody response and influences parasite-binding tropism for different blood vessels.
The Smith Lab is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms governing parasite-vessel wall interactions. We investigate the structure and function of PfEMP1 proteins and host receptor interactions associated with severe malaria. We recently identified a distinct subset of PfEMP1 proteins that binds to brain endothelial cells using a host receptor called endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR). As EPCR plays a key role in regulating blood clotting and inflammation in blood vessels, our work suggests there are important linkages between IE cytoadhesion and vascular disease complications associated with severe malaria. We use a combination of laboratory and field-based studies in Africa and India to better understand malaria disease pathogenesis and to design disease interventions.
Watch Drs. Maria Bernabeu and Selasi Dankwa share their personal reasons for studying cerebral malaria (video 4:49).
Investigating the P. falciparum Cytoadhesion Virulence Determinant
The goal of this project is to advance our understanding of malaria disease mechanisms and aid in the development of interventions to treat severe malaria. We are taking a multi-pronged approach that involves both laboratory and field-based research studies. Our lab has pioneered novel approaches to broadly interrogate PfEMP1 function in a repertoire-wide manner. We are also working with collaborators at the University of Washington Department of Bioengineering to develop better in vitro endothelial models to study parasite-host vessel wall interactions and characterize malaria vascular disease mechanisms. As part of our field-based research efforts, we belong to an International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) team based in India (PI, Pradip Rathod, University of Washington) where we are investigating the role of PfEMP1 proteins in severe malaria.
Identification of deadly parasite binding variants
In this study, we showed that a distinct subset of parasites is selected on human brain endothelial cells and characterized the parasite ligands mediating cerebral binding. This finding gives important clues into a deadly parasite binding phenotype and could help explain why some malaria infections result in more severe complications than others. It also suggests new targets for anti-disease interventions.
Interventions for Microvascular Dysfunction
The goal of this project is to understand signaling processes related to microvascular dysfunction and to develop new therapeutic approaches for intervening in inflammation-related damage to blood vessels. Endothelial cells cover the inner wall of blood vessels. Endothelial activation and dysfunction are hallmarks of pathological microvascular vascular environments of inflammation-related diseases, such as P. falciparum malaria, bacterial sepsis, and viral hemorrhagic fever. Our lab is studying the host signaling mechanisms that lead to blood vessel damage and has pioneered novel in vitro blood-brain barrier models to investigate mechanisms of dysfunction associated with cerebral malaria. For these studies, we are collaborating with the Kaushansky lab at the Center for Global Infectious Diseases to investigate mechanisms of microvascular dysfunction and signaling pathways to restore microvascular function. We are working in collaboration with Dr. Ying Zheng at University of Washington on novel 3D microvessel models to investigate the malaria parasite and vessel interaction and link this research to clinical investigations of malaria disease with our research partners in Africa and India.
Using in vitro models and clinical cohorts to understand vascular aspects of disease and investigate interventions to restore vascular function
Dr. Smith is interested in partnerships that can translate his laboratory's findings about P. falciparum interactions with host endothelial proteins adjunct treatments for severe malaria and new approaches to treat vascular dysfunction from infectious or non-infectious disease. Learn more about partnering with Dr. Smith.

MANILA, APRIL 27, 2009 (STAR) C'EST CEBU By Honey Jarque Loop - At the mere mention of her name, beauty immediately comes to mind. Large billboards and the testimonials from megastars attest to this. She is none other than Vicki Belo.
To make her services more accessible to Filipinos residing mainly in the Visayas and Mindanao, Victoria Belo, MD, a graduate of the University of Sto. Tomas and faculty member of Medicine and Surgery, recently opened her first regional clinic at the Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu.
The grand launch started with the time-honored blessing of the premises by Monsignor Achilles Dakay.
Joji Dingcong, corporate imaging and branding specialist, conceptualized and produced the lively, star-studded summer party that immediately followed at the al fresco courtyard fronting the Belo clinic.
Host for the evening Donita Rose, herself a Belo image model, introduced the celebrity endorsers, who serenaded the multitude of Cebuanos representing the various sectors of society.
The performers included balladeers Christian Bautista, Janno Gibbs and multi-awarded, accomplished actor Christopher de Leon, who incidentally can also sing. Lovely Claudine Barretto was present as well. Making their rounds greeting longtime friends were party couple Herman and Ginajane Grey, who spent many memorable years in Cebu before moving to Manila.
In lieu of the traditional ribbon cutting, eight mother-child pairs joined the butterfly-releasing ceremony, which signified the start of something new — beauty spreading its wings and taking flight in Cebu through the Belo Medical Group.
Doing the honors were internationally acclaimed furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue and son, Andre, socialite Maryanne Aboitiz Arculli and daughter Jasmine, patroness of the arts Elvira Luym with daughter Kaye and this writer with only child, Eduard.
Since the early '90s Dr. Vicki Belo has pioneered the latest innovations in dermatological and cosmetic surgery in the Philippines such as skin rejuvenation, scar revision, sclerotherapy for varicose veins, contouring facials, body treatments, peels, non-surgical rejuvenation and, more recently, Smartlipo.
With skill and service excellence as their ultimate goal and patient satisfaction and approval their basic motivation, each and every Belo employee is committed to assisting clients with a smile and a genuine desire to be of service.
Welcome to Cebu, Vicki Belo and your medical team.


So is Viral Cash App legit or just another one of those hyped up products?
First up, let me say, well done to you! You have decided to do your own research before committing to this little app.
When I was starting out online well over 10 plus years ago now, I didn't have the luxury like so many people do now, of finding reviews on products and businesses. There just weren't any out there. Or if there were, they were reviews of physical products from stores. But there weren't many.
There are so many digital, downloadable products these days it is unbelievable. And really bad if you get caught up in one that rips you off!
So is Viral Cash App a Scam? Or can you really make hundreds even thousands on this app when the videos you share go viral? And will you get paid from people clicking on your display ads?
Here I give you a thorough review of this new Viral Cash App system so you can determine that for yourself.
How does the Viral Cash App Work?
Is Viral Cash App a Scam or Legit?
A Proven and Legitimate way to Make Money Online!
What is the Viral Cash App?
Basically, the Viral Cash App helps you to build a website with viral videos that can be shared on the social media platforms.
Now if someone clicks on a video you shared and wants to check out one of these viral videos, they will land on your customized website.
This is where you will have display advertising from Clickbank, Adsense or Amazon (all with your affiliate links) and if someone clicks on these, then you get paid.
1.) Know basic computer skills – but if you are advanced then this is not for you.
2.) You watch and share videos virally on Youtube and Facebook.
3.) You have to post a minimum of 10 videos using the app each day.
And in the sales video, he uses little snippets of news anchors talking about work from home jobs and how it would be great to be working around your family.
To me, I think Matthew is leading us to believe his Viral Cash App has made the news so as to make it credible.
There is no mention of the Viral Cash App in any of these news clips.
So first up, you Login into the system.
Choose your niche or category.
Then it is up to you to start sharing a minimum of 10 videos a day. And hope to god they go viral.
Matthew bases the viral aspect on successful Youtubers. He states how these guys make millions of dollars a year because people watch their videos.
But now it is your turn. You take out the hard work of making the video, and just share videos that may go viral, hence get visitors to your website page – and hopefully click on your display ads (affiliate links).
Within the system, there are some webinars so they may help with traffic strategies. And you also don't need your own website or website hosting as this is provided.
But the Cons probably outweigh the Pros on this Viral Cash app.
You are going to need a lot of traffic. Viral videos – you guessed it – get a lot of eyes on them, however, the video you share has to go viral first. And, not everyone is going to go through your display ads. A small percentage will, but not as much as he allegedly claims – hence why you need a lot of traffic.
There doesn't seem to be any real coaching along the way or real support, so you are probably on your own with this one.
And are you learning any marketing skills to better how you market online? Nope.
And I really don't think you are going to make the money that Matthew claims!
Do you think just signing up to an app, add a few links, click a few buttons and that's it, you will make the BIG money?
I knew YOU were smarter than that!
I think there would be a possibility of making money from this, however, it always comes down to traffic and enough eyes on your website.
Or more to the point, on the viral videos in this case. Then hopefully when your visitor clicks off the page, they do so via one of the display ads that contains one of your Adsense, Amazon or Clickbank links.
But even if they do click through one of your display ads, Google Adsense pays very little. Amazon is a small percentage or commission so you would have to make alot of sales. Again, you would need a lot of traffic. Or your video you shared to go VIRAL!
Another thing I really loathe is upsells, and as you can see in this image – there are many when you join Viral Cash app.
After you "buy in" at $47 (actually click away and the downsell will come up as $24.95!) But, there is another $443 total in upsells that you could be sucked into buying.
And they have a way of making you believe that you need all these tools or strategies or whatever they are to make it work!
Also with him stating that your automated Viral app will siphon profit from a $70 Billion dollar free source – almost has you believe you can turn on a tap and the money will flow, doesn't it?
Thank goodness there is a 60-day money back guarantee on the initial $47 buy in. But is there a refund on all those other tools (upsells) you may not need?
I just believe this type of thing will be a real time waster. Even though you may make a few dollars here and there from your Adsense or Amazon links, it will be nothing that was quoted in the sales video.
Again, another product I rate really low and a pure time waster. There is no way you can make this sort of money so easily and again, all I can see here is another ClickBank product that has no face to the name, big promises, bigger income claims and probably me or you losing our money!
My opinion, of course, you are entitled to your own!
Please stop wasting your money on these programs if you are, that make it sound SO SIMPLE to earn money online.
Unfortunately, that's sales videos for you. Filled with BIG monetary promises!
When I discovered what I am part of now, the proper way to do business online, I was able to get in, set up my account and check it out for free – for as long as I wanted to!
And everything that this program had on their "sales page" rang true on everything they presented.
The 50 websites if you want to build that many – I wouldn't!
And that means targeted people are finding me, getting value from my content and buying from me. In my case, it is joining me in this program.
Check it out here a comprehensive Review of this program, then create your own free starter account to see if it is something you would like to work online with.
I will be your personal guide and mentor within our program. I will show you the way, just as my mentor did for me. But with so much help available I won't be the only one that helps you out!
Thanks for checking out my Viral Cash app today and do share what you think about it below!
Previous Post:Is Five Minute Profit Sites A Scam? BIG MONEY Claims in this Review!
Next Post:Is The Az Code a SCAM? Or is $10k Possible EACH WEEK?
Honestly, I think that it is not worth it. It is better to pay for something to educate yourself in making your won website then giving money on short term products. SEO is very important these days and without learning how to get traffic, everything is useless. It is definitely worth to learn how to get targeted traffic.
I am like you Daniel, I don't think it is worth it either. And I would rather pay for education to learn how to build a website as I am doing now. It's more fun and rewarding as well. Thanks for checking this out!
Indeed, no real learning process, no coaching, just spamming out videos and hope for the best. Thanks for uncovering this junk!
There is so much rubbish online, it really isn't funny is it! And like you say more getting rich quick programs. These people must be earning from them however, otherwise they would give up! Or maybe one or 2 have a home run – who knows. Wish they were less misleading with their info that is all!
The Viral Cash app doesn't seem to be offering anything for the $443 they charge that you couldn't do yourself for free. Anybody can get a free website, embed YouTube videos on it, and put advertising on it. There doesn't seem to be anything the app is doing that will help the videos go viral. The new website would have to be managed just like any other, and it would take time to get traffic just like any other. And it would have to be on a subject that people are doing searches on.
Everything you say here is pretty much correct! The $443 is just money you would lose at the end of the day. Thanks for checking it out and giving your input.
Viral Cash app seems like another worthless product. It is interesting that most of these products advertise an easy path to a rich life. A good question to ask from the creators of this program is that if you know a magic way to wealth why are you sharing it for $47 with others?
Of course, there is no logical answer to this question but that they don't have a money machine and they earn their income through selling hype products to people like me and you.
$400 is a lot of money that can be spent in much better ways than to pay for endless upsells of an overprices product. Thanks for the heads up. I will keep my distance from it.
Thanks for checking this out today and I would spend $400 better elsewhere as well.
I guess the low cost of $47, it is affordable for people and if they make a few bucks may feel justified, who knows? I think these things are just time wasters once you realise they aren't all what they are cracked up to be and you waste your time making a few sales!
It is kind of weird that it has got requirements for you to qualify to be able to buy in. It almost lulls you into a false sense of security. It is scary how many programs are out there that don't offer value for money. Thanks for this helpful information will help a lot with future decisions.
Yeah the requirements I think are saying to someone that they cannot buy it, so that they probably will if that makes sense? I do hope I can help those who are deciding to buy in or not. Thanks for your comments today.


For other uses, see Amel (disambiguation).
Amel (French: Amblève) is a Belgian municipality in the Walloon province of Liège, and is part of the German-speaking Community of Belgium (German: Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens). On January 1, 2013, the municipality of Amel had a total population of 5,466. The total area is 125.15 km² which gives a population density of 44 inhabitants per km².
There are eighteen villages in Amel: Amel (village), Born, Deidenberg, Eibertingen, Halenfeld, Heppenbach, Hepscheid, Herresbach Iveldingen, Medell, Meyerode, Mirfeld, Möderscheid, Montenau, Schoppen, Stephanshof, Valender and Wereth.
The name Amel is of Celtic origin and means water. The river Amblève (German: Amel) flows through the municipality.
Amel is the birthplace of Karl-Heinz Lambertz, current leader (Minister-President) of the community executive of the German-speaking community of Belgium.
In 716, the Battle of Amblève, between Charles Martel with the Austrasians on one side and the joint forces of the Frisians and Neustrians under Ragenfrid and Chilperic II on the other side, was the first victory for Charles Martel.
Amel was the site of heavy fighting during the Battle of the Bulge. On 17 December 1944, the Wereth Massacre took place when eleven soldiers of the African American 333rd Field Artillery Battalion were tortured and executed by members of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. A memorial to the Wereth 11 was erected in the village in 1994.

Israel must figure out the true cost of occupation
By Hussein Ibish
As expected, the Iran nuclear deal is reshaping the strategic landscape of the Middle East. Some of these new developments – such as Saudi Arabia's reported outreach to Hamas and other Muslim Brotherhood organisations – are innovative but hardly unthinkable. But when it comes to Israel's relationship with Gulf Arab states, shared concerns can only go so far.
Last week, Dore Gold, the director general of Israel's foreign ministry, raised eyebrows across the political world when he remarked of Iran: "What we have is a regime on a roll that is trying to conquer the Middle East, and it's not Israel talking, that is our Sunni Arab neighbours – and you know what? I'll use another expression – that is our Sunni Arab allies talking."
Mr Gold is hardly the exemplar of Israeli enthusiasm for the Arab world. Indeed, the author of the 2003 book Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism would have to be listed among those Israeli right-wing hardliners whose rhetoric can border on Islamophobic.
Mr Gold is not alone in thinking along these lines. Hizbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned Arab states against "talking with Israel and even negotiating with it". This may have "disastrous results", he blustered.
Some might note that Mr Nasrallah – whose militia is squandering the better part of its manpower, treasury and Lebanese political capital in an all-out intervention designed to shore up the brutal regime of Bashar Al Assad in Syria – is in no position to lecture anyone about disastrous results or dire consequences. Or that his reckless adventure serves the interests of Iran, not Lebanon or any other part of the Arab world. But Mr Nasrallah's outburst demonstrates how concerned Iran and its proxies have become about the potential for Israel and the Arab states to unite to thwart the rise of an Iranian-led axis.
They needn't fret so much. Mr Gold's comments may be based on a shared opinion about the rise of Iran between Israel and some Arab states. But, in fact, this is an instance of wishful thinking.
Israel is misreading the Arab world in several unfortunate respects. It does not recognise the diversity of strategic thinking and policies among the Gulf states, and treats them as if they had a single, homogeneous perspective and set of interests. And, even more importantly, it does not seem to understand that its conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories remains an insurmountable obstacle to close or open cooperation, even though that might otherwise make some strategic sense.
Since the overthrow of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, Israelis have been deluding themselves that, because Arab societies face a series of profound immediate challenges, somehow the issue of Palestine has been forgotten or permanently relegated to the back burner. But the occupation remains absolutely unacceptable to the Arab world, and, while the Arab Peace Initiative commits the entire Arab League to a two-state solution involving the recognition and normalisation of relations with Israel, this depends on ending the occupation and allowing the creation of a state of Palestine.
Mr Gold's comments amply illustrate the extraordinary opportunity Israel has for creating a completely new relationship with much of the Arab world based on shared interests. Unfortunately, it is precisely the occupation and settlement policies that Mr Gold and his allies strongly support that will preclude Israel from taking advantage of this unprecedented strategic opening.
Israel cannot have diplomatic progress, let alone anything approaching an alliance, with the Arab world as long as millions of Palestinians remain non-citizens in their own land, with no realistic prospect for freedom. In particular, Israel cannot successfully engage with the Arab states while it is conducting an aggressive settlement project, gobbling up Palestinian land in violation of black-letter international law.
Jordan and Egypt made peace with Israel in their own interests, and those agreements are rock-solid. But Arab states in the Gulf region don't share the same imperatives. Limited progress might be possible in specific areas. Israel might be able to cooperate with Qatar on reconstruction in Gaza, or with Saudi Arabia on Palestinian national reconciliation and relations between Hamas and Fatah. But despite the diversity in their policies none of the Gulf states will be prepared to enter into anything remotely resembling an alliance with Israel, despite the threat of Iranian hegemony, as long as the occupation continues with no end in sight.
Israelis often debate the cost of the occupation. The fact that it precludes them from building strong working relationships with Arab states with whom they share powerful strategic concerns needs to be factored in as a very high cost indeed.
Imagine a reality in which Mr Gold was completely accurate in referring to Israel's "Sunni Arab allies", and what that would mean for Israel's regional interests and long-term security. And now return to today's diplomatic reality, in which no matter how much Israel and many of the Arab states agree on the threat posed by Iran's and the urgent need to counter it, there is a strict limit to how far they can coordinate, largely because of Israel's own indefensible policies towards the Palestinians. The cost is clear, and prohibitive.
