In this day and age outdoor clothing ranges are mind-bogglingly broad and the feet are especially well catered for. Where once there was only the humble walking boot, there are now shoes for every conceivable discipline of mountain pursuit and some that fit somewhere in between. Ten years ago approach shoes were almost unheard of, since then the technology and design behind them has increased exponentially and so too has the types of terrain on which people use them. Approach shoes now occupy a huge amount of retail space in your local gear shop, blurring the boundaries between hill-walking trainer and technical rock shoe. Scarpa's Zen Pro places itself near the top end of this offering.
My pair are electric blue and look great (they also come in charcoal grey which hides the dirt better). They are the first pair of sticky rubber approach shoes I've owned. It might seem obvious, but I'd encourage you to consider what it is that you will be 'approaching' before deciding whether to purchase the Zen Pro or not. I come from the breed who thought approach shoes were bulky Gore-Tex trainers most often used to approach the tent from the toilet block across a muddy camp site, or for a half day low level walk. Were this the case I'd say the Zen Pro might not be the most appropriate footwear for you. If, on the other hand, you want something for climbing easy routes at the crag, or for longer multi-pitch routes (where you don't want the pleasure of the day ruined by the discomfort of your rock shoes), these are definitely worth looking at.
Lets' start at the base. The Vibram sole combines traditional lugs with a smooth climbing zone at the toe end. The lugs give the shoe a good degree of traction and aren't so deep and clustered that mud gets trapped within them. The climbing zone gives confidence when smearing or edging; I wore them for a spot of easy bouldering at Tremadog and felt a lot of trust in my foot placements on slabby terrain. The sticky rubber really is excellent and I'll always insist on it in future. Only time will tell how durable the rubber is. Last time I checked, after seven weeks of serious abuse, it looked mostly unblemished apart from a very small amount of wear on the toe edge, but I think that's quite acceptable.
There is a toe rand and it's big. That's great if you like those sorts of climbs where you have to jam your foot into a crack. Could it be too effective? Having just left my belay whilst leading a route at Shepherd's Crag, I delicately twisted my foot into a crack but couldn't get it back out. After much cussing and straining I had to ask my second to help me dislodge it. I'm not sure what that says about my climbing ability ("Erm, you couldn't just whack the base of my heel with your fist could you Tom?"), but I think it speaks volumes about the quality of the rubber Scarpa use in its manufacturing process and the traction it generates.
I mentioned Gore-Tex a moment ago. The Zen Pro's don't incorporate Gore-Tex. I'm going to refrain from using the word 'but' here, because I don't see the absence of Gore-Tex as a negative. Let's be honest, most of us complain about the amount our feet sweat in waterproof approach shoes, it's not pleasant. What the Zen Pro does have is a water resistant suede upper and I'm pleased to say my feet don't sweat very much in them, but are they watertight? Well, I wouldn't want to do any serious bog-hopping in them, but I've squelched my way through various fields and never had wet feet.
The base of the shoes is a little hard, I'm used to something a little softer with more cushioning for shock absorption. But words like 'soft' and 'cushion' aren't synonymous with sensitivity. It's sensitivity that you want on a route, that's when you want your approach shoes to feel more like rock boots than trainers, so it's a compromise I'm happy to make. On very steep downhill slopes I found that the foot beds could slide forward a little, which is a bit annoying, but the shoes do give good stopping power. On the plus side the beds are removable which is handy if you want to air them out or replace them. The laces are a bit thin for my liking, I'd like a little more to grab on to, but I'm sure there's a reason for this and it's a minor quibble.
The weight of footwear is important to me. My passion is multi-pitch mountain routes, a discipline to which these shoes are well-suited. When gear shopping I hunt around to save a few ounces on karabiners, and then (try to) select what bits of my rack to leave in the car boot to travel light. If this sounds familiar to you, then I hope you'll agree that we should consider the weight of our footwear too. "Wow, they're quite heavy," was my girlfriend's first comment when I handed the Zen Pros to her. At the end of the day though the weight is par for the course, the Zen Pros aren't dissimilar to their competitors. So for the verdict, the Zen Pros have some big plusses that far outweigh the few quibbles that I've highlighted. At £125 they are premium product, but if used for the job for which they are designed they're worth considering.

The Friday evening potluck is a standing tradition at BBQ contests in California. It's a last chance for fellow competitors to relax and be friendly, catch up on how the family is doing, and swap funny stories before the teams put on their game faces and gear up for intense competition mode late Friday evening for the long overnight cook until turn-ins at noon Saturday.
I've developed quite a following on the California contest circuit for my elaborate potluck dishes demonstrating culinary artistry cooking in a challenging outdoor kitchen setting (think blustering Santa Ana winds, summer heat, dust, bitter cold, etc.). I love the challenge and think this part is as fun as the actual BBQ contest. We often have different potluck themes such as coming up with a dish based on some classic movie.
By day, I sit in a fabric-covered box leading a team of information technology project managers in a Dilbertesque existence. On weekends, I love to express myself artistically by making a simple white dinner plate come alive, like an empty artist canvas, with the freshest ingredients sensationally juxtaposed with balanced colors, presentation, texture, aromas, and taste.
I've been inspired by foods from around the world in all the many beautiful countries I've traveled to as a former 747 pilot. I cook from the heart with passionate appreciation of the culture and cuisine I'm trying to emulate. I've received three marriage offers so far from those who've enjoyed them immensely! I've also released my Ahi Tuna pictures for a Hawaiian magazine publication and I also cater these fabulous dishes! They taste as good as they look. Enjoy these 17 contest potluck pictures!
My son Brian shot video of me making the Jack Daniels Prawns dish. Many have asked what happens in my tent Friday nights so now here's your chance to see it yourself! Enjoy!
White Fish cut into paper-thin slices using the usu-zukuri method; arranged beautifully on a platter ala fugu blowfish plate-style; dabbed with a little grated young ginger; sprinkled with sesame seeds, chives, and yuzu soy sauce. Just prior to serving, heat olive oil and sesame oil until smoking and drizzle over fish slices. This dish always disappears FAST!

Petco announced last month that it's launching a new branch of its store, which will serve as a lab, called PetCoach. The concept is based on an app that the brand acquired last year. It connects customers with vets and trainers who can help them be better pet parents by answering their personalized questions. The brand takes pet personalization to the next level, suggesting attribute-based recommendations on the website based on breed, weight and, in some cases, a model of your pets breed playing with or wearing the item you're browsing -- if you've signed up for an account. Petco understands that personalization is an omnichannel experience, and is working to connect the in-store experience through advancements to the brand's mobile app and PetCoach program app. Petco also announced its expansion into Canada this month, bringing its $4 billion brand to pet parents abroad.
Petco's iOS app "Heads and Tails" engages with content and personalizes based on pet species. Not only are there opportunities to win a gift card for posting cute selfies with your pet, but the app also allows you to compare pet insurance policies. When you sign up for the app you pick what kind of pet you have and even add multiple pets, from fish to reptiles, you can input the breed and weight and view customer-rated products.
The "Pals Rewards" program generously perks and pampers your pooch. The program awards you points for every dollar spent, free shipping on all orders and a robust content library with resources for you and your pet. You can access the rewards program from all channels including site and the mobile app.
Petco has launched PetCoach, a new brick-and-mortar store concept that combines a suite of personalized pet services, products and experiences. With this new experience they address total pet health and wellness bringing veterinary and training services into the mix. The acquisition of PetCoach and subsequent launch of this new retail venture gives Petco access to an entirely new set of data on which to personalize.


Chronic muscle pain also known as, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, effects an estimated 25% of the general population and 85% of middle age people.
Myofascial pain can be caused by injury to muscle fibres, repetitive motions, or lack of activity. Frequently, patients have specific trigger points or hyperirritable spots of pain.
In a new study, 36 patients with myofascial pain were treated with either chiropractic spinal adjustments or sham treatment. The researchers measured patients pressure pain threshold or their ability to withstand pain at trigger points. Having a lower pressure pain threshold indicates more pain sensitivity and tenderness.
Immediately after receiving spinal adjustments, chiropractic patients had significantly improved pressure pain thresholds and reduced sensitivity, compared to the control group. This adds to earlier research, showing that chiropractic is a safe, effective way to reduce chronic pain.

Justin Bieber's Mom Wants More Kids & Beliebers Are Totally On Board
Pattie Mallette, Justin Bieber's mom and author of a book about being Justin Bieber's mom, shared some surprising news on Twitter Thursday. Justin Bieber's mom would like to have more kids, presumably, because Bieber is a 20-year-old man now and doesn't need her help any longer. She's having empty nest syndrome only this baby bird left the nest years ago, became super rich, probably used some of his money to upgrade the nest, and has been on a constant downward spiral ever since. It happens to all parents!
Mallette posted a link to a picture of herself holding a baby on Twitter along with the caption, "A baby looks good on me eh? (Yep still Canadian). #iwantmorekids!" It's possible she just came down with a case of baby fever while holding this cute baby with a gigantic headband and doesn't actually want more kids. I mean, that's the only logical explanation. Malette has 3 million Twitter followers and her bio is about the fact that she's Justin Bieber's mom ("Yes Justin Bieber is my son. I have many other great qualities besides being his mom haha! No really.") so she had to know that people were going to be all, "Omg! Really?! You would have ANOTHER kid after all of Justin's shenanigans?"
But wait! That isn't what happened. In fact, a ton of people who use photos of Bieber for their Twitter accounts were totally in support of Malette having more kids.
Where are the angry people? Where are the ones to call her crazy? The Non-Beliebers? And will Beliebers just take any Justin-related thing they can get even if that means a half-sibling fetus? At least one person wanted to stick with the original Biebz and made that clear through this message that is oh so inappropriate for his mom:
Now that's a true Belieber.

When asked to name a traditional Passover dish, most Bay Area Jews wouldn't come up with "barbecued lamb." But for the local Karaite Jews from Egypt -- an ancient community that follows biblical Jewish law and rejects the rabbinic interpretation of Judaism -- an outdoor barbecue kicks off the seder celebration, with the meat symbolizing the paschal sacrifice.
Sara and Elie Moussa of San Carlos were sure to barbecue enough lamb to serve the 32 guests gathered in their home for the festivities. In addition to the four generations of family seated at the U-shaped table in the living room, there were several out-of-town Karaite guests who had no families with whom to celebrate the holiday.
The largest community of Karaites in the United States -- 200 families in all -- resides in the Bay Area, with 50 families in the South Bay. The Karaites began moving here from Egypt in the '50s when Egypt and the newly created state of Israel went to war, a conflict referred to in the West as the Suez Crisis.
As the Bay Area Karaite community grew, it established its own synagogue -- Bnei Israel in Daly City, which has become a thriving community center. Services are held on Friday nights and Saturday mornings for the Jewish Sabbath, as well as on all the Jewish holidays. Education, bar mitzvah preparation, wedding ceremonies, Hevrah Kadishah (burial of the dead), and Bikur Holim (visiting the sick) are also offered.
The Bay Area Karaites all know one another, often intermarry and hold community seders. The community is politically active in supporting Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa, most of whom have immigrated to Israel.
Outside the synagogue, the Karaite community has a men's club that meets every month. Many families go out to dinner together and get together to discuss religion and learn hymns and melodies.
There are youth groups with summer camps that teach religious traditions and prayers. Karaites from the South Bay, East Bay and Marin, as well as the Peninsula, go to Daly City to attend services.
The young generation of Karaites, said Morris Moussa, the son of Sara and Elie, faces "a tough dilemma. Our parents are fighting to keep the Karaite tradition alive and growing, yet we've been brought up without having the strong Karaite community that our parents had back in Egypt. We've grown up in the (larger Jewish) community, feeling more a part of that one than the Karaite one. My sister and I grew up at (Rabbinate) Temple Peninsula Shalom, for example, where I got my bar mitzvah."
Opening one's home for Passover is a long-standing Karaite tradition. "In Egypt," Sara Moussa recalls, "there were just two classes -- poor and wealthy. There were a lot of poor Jews. We came from the upper class. Usually at Passover, we'd call on people who didn't have the means to celebrate, and we'd invite them to be with us. It was common throughout the community. Even if they didn't come to your home, you would bring food to them. Always."
Wealthy community members also would bring new clothes and other gifts to the poor, to help make the holiday special. "On Passover, it was traditional to have brand-new clothes, usually the spring clothes," Sara Moussa said.
As she recounts her own memories of getting new holiday garb, her voice rings with delight. "We'd put away our winter clothes. Then our shoes, socks, underwear, everything from top to bottom would be new. We'd get special summer dresses."
Beyond refreshing their wardrobes, the Karaites would renew their entire homes, beginning two months before the holiday. "The whole house would be cleaned from ceiling to floor -- scrubbed and even painted," Sara Moussa said. "In Egypt, you'd really feel there is a holiday coming."
"For me, the seder was like the second exodus from Egypt," said San Francisco resident Eli Nounou, believed to be the first Karaite to come to the Bay Area. "We got out of Egypt during biblical times and then again during (President Gamal Abdel) Nasser's time."
Karaite Jews have a history that brought them back to Egypt about 550 B.C. following their departure from Egypt in about 1,600 B.C. described in the book of Exodus in the Old Testament.
Following the Babylonian conquest and destruction of the Kingdom of Judah -- ancient Israel -- 2,600 years ago, Jews were taken as captives to Babylon, the land that today encompasses Iraq and its environs. When the Persian Empire conquered the Babylonian Empire about 50 years later, Jews were given the rights to travel around and practice religion freely. Many returned to rebuild Israel at that time, but others either stayed or migrated throughout the region and some of them, the Karaites, settled in Egypt, which their ancestors had fled.
Nounou shares many vivid memories of the place he once called home -- including studying with Yasser Arafat at the University of Cairo in 1950.
"He was with me in a small class at the engineering school. There were about 20 people in every class. And two years later, he was in the same group with me when I volunteered with the Commanders, to drive the British out of the Suez Canal. Throughout all those years, he would never, ever speak to me, because I was Jewish."
Relations between Arabs and Jews in Egypt deteriorated precipitously following the war that ended in the founding of Israel in 1948. By 1954, Jews were facing a lot of outward hostility as well. During a party on the night of Nasser's election, Nounou remembers, "this guy stood up on a chair, cheering the new president. In his hand was a whiskey bottle of King George. I smiled just a little, because it was funny that he had the British whiskey while the British were fighting us. The next day, 16 motorcycles of the military police were circling my company and demanding that my manager fire me. My boss was a Swedish guy. He told them they could not fire me without a cause."
Nasser's ascent to power and the 1956 Egypt-Israeli war brought to the surface an undercurrent of hatred that had always existed, said Los Altos resident Remy Pessah.

"My father came home one day, saying he was going to be thrown in prison, " she says. "My sister's father-in-law already was being detained in prison, as were my uncle and another friend. My father said we had to leave our home in a rush and hide. The day we left was my birthday -- I had just turned 9. My first reaction was, 'What about my birthday party?' My father said, 'Forget about it, let's get going.' "
When Pessah finally returned to school after the war, everything had changed. "I lost all my friends," she recalls, pain in her voice even half a century later. "They would not talk to me, because I was Jewish. I had one very close friend, like a sister. One day she told me that her father said she couldn't talk to me anymore. I was so surprised! I asked what I had done. She said, 'Well, you're Jewish, and he doesn't want me to associate with you.' "
In 1958, after overhearing a government official declare that Egypt had to get rid of all its Jews, Nounou decided it was time to flee the country. He was allowed to leave by normal means of transportation and to take one suitcase with clothing and food. The rest of his possessions were confiscated by the government.
After arriving in France, Nounou turned to the Hebrew International Association Service (HIAS) in Paris, for aid. In turn, HIAS sent Nounou to San Francisco, where Jewish families were offering economic and social support to international Jewish refugees.
Once he established himself, Nounou helped 30 Karaites leave Egypt and settle in the Bay Area. Meanwhile, throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, HIAS continued directing Karaite refugees to San Francisco.
"I was lucky to leave in 1966," said Elie Moussa. "I didn't experience the humiliation and torture of the Jews put in camps and prisons."
Despite the deep traumas they experienced, local Karaites seem determined to focus on the blessings in their lives. "My parents really didn't want us to grow up bitter against any people," says San Francisco-born Morris Moussa. "That was their goal in life, to not let their experience make us hate anyone. They told my sister and me that what they went through was what they went through, but we shouldn't hold it against any group of people."
"I feel that we are free, we are in a different country, we are recognized as Jews and have freedom of religion, freedom of all human rights," said Elie Moussa. "We thank God we are alive, and that we are better off here than in Egypt. What happened is for the good. We don't look at it as a bad thing that happened to us, but as a good thing."
"I feel I am very blessed in the United States," Pessah said, echoing the sentiments of many local Karaites, "not only to celebrate Passover, but to live as a Jew without being persecuted."

LS Professor No Longer Teaching After Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Surface
via facebook.com
Liberal Studies Professor John Ward Regan
Alex Domb and Yasmin Gulec
Liberal Studies Clinical Assistant Professor J. Ward Regan abruptly stopped teaching this week after reports of an alleged long-term sexual relationship with a 15-year-old in the 1990s emerged.
Regan stopped teaching after an NYU Local article detailing the relationship was published.
On Wednesday, LS Academic Administrator Amy Males sent an email to Regan's Social Foundations class announcing that Thursday's class would be canceled. The following day, Males followed up on her previous email announcing that the course would resume next week and that it would be taught by another LS professor, Joel Rozen, for the remainder of the semester.
NYU Spokesperson John Beckman told WSN that Regan, as of Wednesday, did not have active teaching duties at NYU. Regan was also adviser to the NYU Politics Club, which will not meet again for the remainder of the semester. It remains unclear whether Regan was suspended, dismissed or resigned, and Beckman did not specify whether Regan's departure is a direct result of the allegations of sexual misconduct that recently surfaced.
"The university does not comment on personnel matters, but I will say the following: as of yesterday, Professor Regan does not currently have teaching or other academic duties," Beckman said in an email.
A Pennsylvania grand jury report published in early 2017 detailed a culture of sexual misconduct spanning several decades at the Solebury School, an elite boarding institution in Pennsylvania at which Regan taught in the 1990s. In the report, a woman who testified, referred to as R.D., claimed that a long-term sexual relationship with Regan had damages, including mental trauma, the development of an eating disorder and her eventual dropping out of NYU.
Regan did not respond to WSN's request for comment.
In March of this year, Gallatin sophomore Victor Markhoff, a graduate of the Solebury School, brought allegations to the attention of NYU's Diversity Committee — made up of Senators-at-Large — who first discussed the matter later that month. On April 12, the committee sent a letter to NYU administration claiming that the school had been made aware of the allegations after the release of the report in 2017 and had neither acted on it nor released the information to the community.
"The NYU administration was made aware about this as soon as this was made public in 2017 and, to our knowledge, nothing was done," the Diversity Committee said in a statement. "There are countless students both on campus and LS that are not aware of this situation and that is unfair to students. We hope that this can raise attention to this issue so that students can get answers."
According to R.D.'s testimony, Regan was 22 years old when their relationship began. A member of the faculty, Regan resided full-time in school-owned apartments, some of which were adjoined to student dormitories.
R.D. testified that the relationship began with occasional flirting on campus and eventually progressed to a visit to New York City to see Regan during summer break, where he allegedly performed oral sex on her. The relationship continued into the following school year, where the two had sex in his on-campus apartment and at his friend's apartment in New York City. R.D. believes that Solesbury was aware of the relationship, but claims that administration contacted neither she nor Regan about the relationship.
Appearing before the grand jury, Regan repeatedly invoked his fifth amendment rights when asked several questions about romantic relationships between students and teachers during his tenure at Solesbury and about his alleged relationship with R.D.

26 Grounded theory revisited (2)
In piece 25 I foreshadowed a discussion about grounded theory and its similarities to action research. In particular I raised Glaser's distinction between hypothesis-testing and emergent methodologies. I said that action research and grounded theory were emergent methodologies.
It is my intention in the next occasional piece to take the comparison further. Before doing so it is useful if I provide a thumbnail sketch of grounded theory, Glaser style.
Grounded theory can be described as a set of overlapping stages:
data collection, in which the researcher observes, talks to people, and engages in whatever other data collection seems appropriate
note-taking, capturing the key elements of each data collection immediately afterwards
coding, in which the researcher writes in the margin of the notes the "categories" and "properties" contained or implied by each sentence of the notes
memoing, in which the researcher writes memos to herself or himself on the theoretical hypotheses arising from the coding
These four stages are almost simultaneous. The memos progressively build the theory from the categories and properties of the coding, and the links between them. The data are noted and coded almost as they are collected.
sorting begins as soon as further data add little to the emerging theory. The memos are sorted to an order which allows the theory to be communicated clearly
writing the report is guided by the sorting.
This may be diagrammed as follows:
+-------------+
|    data     |
++------------++
| note-taking |
|   coding    |
|   memoing   |
+-------------+-------------+
|   sorting   |
|   writing   |
|----- time ---->              +-------------+

PHD POSITION "DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-CRITERIA ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY FOR INTEGRATED RESILIENT COOLING STRATEGIES"
The research group Sustainable Buildings at Technology Campus Ghent was created in 2008. The research can be grouped into 6 areas: 1. Energy performance and indoor climate - Interaction building and HVAC systems: studies the interaction between characteristics, use, energy performance and indoor climate of buildings on the one hand and the choice, design, operation and performances of innovative HVAC systems and lighting on the other hand. 2. Timber construction and use of organic fibres: investigates sustainability and durability of structures made from timber, bamboo and wood-based products as well as insulation materials made from natural fibres. 3. Social and ecological sustainability of buildings and communities: focusses on assessment and certification of social sustainability and zero carbon emissions on buidings, community and regional scale. 4. Life cycle analysis 5. Building Information Modelling - Improved process management: develops, improves and implements BIM-based workflows for all life-cycle stages of buildings 6. Commissioning, building management and monitoring This PhD fits within the first area.
An inexorable increase in energy consumption for the coolingof buildings, and the increase in overheating of buildings is caused byurbanisation and densification, climate change, elevated comfort expectations,and inappropriate architectural design practices. Meeting this challengerequires further development and application of low energy and low carboncooling solutions. State-of-the-art of individual energy-efficient cooling systems,their performances and guidelines are available. However, these coolingstrategies suffer from obstacles that keep them from mass application. Thisprojects focusses on the lack of guaranteed and measurable performancesassessment of integrated systems. The objective of this research is to developa multi-criteria assessment methodology for integrated resilient coolingstrategies in residential and school buildings. This knowledge will betranslated into guidelines for good design, commissioning and operation with recommendationsfor the integration of resilient cooling strategies.
This PhD is part of the international research collaboration Annex 80: Resilient cooling (http://annex80.iea-ebc.org/). The overall aim of Annex 80 is to support a rapid transition to an environment where resilient low energy and low carbon cooling systems are the mainstream and preferred solutions for cooling and overheating issues in buildings.

Living in 40 different locations across four states; namely, Cross River, Benue, Akwa Ibom and Taraba states, Cameroonian refugees have been arriving in Nigeria since October 2017. So far, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) has/have registered 21,291 refugees in Nigeria. Children and women constitute 77 percent of the refugee population. In Kwande Local Government Area (LGA), Benue state, there are more than 3,525 refugees living with host communities while in Abande community, some 867 registered refugees were sheltered at a school building.
On May 22, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency voluntarily relocated 331 Cameroonian refugees from Abande to Anyake settlement, Kwande Local Government Area (LGA), in a move intended to help provide care and protection to people forced to abandon their homes mostly in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. This relocation was possible following the successful acquisition of land in Anyake, UNHCR, state authorities, Norwegian Church Aid, and the residents of the host community worked tirelessly to construct a transit site, two multipurpose housing facilities, 32 temporary shelters, and 24 latrines in preparation for the move to Anyake, located 66 kilometres from Abande, Benue state.
The essence of this relocation exercise by UNHCR and the Nigerian Government is to ensure that the Cameroonian refugees live in safety and in respect of the international humanitarian standard that refugees stay at least 50 kilometers away from the border.
With support from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office, (ECHO), UNHCR completed the construction of a model shelter unit and upon settlement in the temporary shelters, UNHCR will provide families with a shelter took kit which includes various items to support the construction of basic shelters. Majority of the refugees live with host communities. This situation of Cameroonian refugees living amongst the host communities is placing a heavy burden on the host communities, services, and resources. With EHCO's support, many of the refugees will have a chance to live in appropriate shelters and this will contribute to restoring personal security, self-sufficiency, and dignity.
UNHCR has been working with the local community and state authorities in planning the new settlement. Over the next few months, there will be more voluntary relocations to Anyake settlement which can host some 3,000 to 4,000 Cameroonian refugees.
In Nigeria, UNHCR works with the Government, partners and other United Nations Agencies to uphold the rights and well being of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugee returnees and asylum seekers in the ECOWAS region.


Below you will find the VNEA World Speed Pool Tournament Rules.
These speed pool rules are very close to the general speed pool rules found in the main rules section, but are specific to the VNEA World Speed Pool Tournament.
Rack all 15 balls, making certain that the 8-ball is in the middle and the head ball is on the spot.
As soon as the player strikes the cue ball the clock starts.
The player is to pocket all balls, ensuring that the eight ball is the last ball to be pocketed.
The cue ball must come to a stop between shots. Any other ball may be in motion as long as the cue ball has stopped completely.
The following items constitute penalties. The consequences are listed after each item.
Scratching on the break shot. (5 second penalty added to time) In this case, time continues with the head ball behind the headstring.
Sending the cue ball off of the billiard table. (10 second penalty) In this case, the ball goes in the pocket.

According to Ed: The Founding of Education Through Music
At Education Through Music, we're thrilled to be celebrating our 30th anniversary. And it's at significant milestones like these that it's important to reflect on how ETM first came to be. By revisiting our origins, we can refocus on our future.
Recently, one of our founding board members, Edmund Schroeder, shared his memories of ETM.
A Partnership of Passions
For Ed, Education Through Music was the partnership of two passions: music and educational equity. "I have always been very much concerned about the disparities in our society in general," says Ed, "And something that has been the most troublesome has been the disparity in the education level."
After seeing news stories about the inequities between students in marginalized communities and students in affluent neighborhoods, Ed knew he wanted to do something. At one point, his friend Eldon Mayer encouraged him to watch a 60 Minutes special about a school in the South Bronx that had integrated music into their entire curriculum. The results were transformative: student attendance and performance had skyrocketed.
The wheels started to turn.
Replicating Success
So inspired, Ed and Eldon became determined to find a way to replicate this model and transform another struggling school. But they were cautious about selecting just the right school to pilot their idea. "One of the things that [. . .] I knew for sure was that the success of this was going to depend heavily on the principal. It's the principal's school, not ours."
After a few false starts, Ed and Elson met with Kathy Damkohler, a principal in Mount Vernon. They had finally found their partner: "[Kathy] was thrilled with the idea! Describing to Kathy what we had in mind was like dropping a lighted match into a can of gasoline. I mean, she just flamed up!"
Their first partner school identified, their first partner principal enthusiastically engaged, Education Through Music became an incorporated nonprofit in 1991.
Success and Growth
Under Kathy's leadership, the program was incredibly successful at her school. After partnering with Education Through Music, the formerly "failing" school won a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award from the US Department of Education in 1994.
Bolstered by their first partnership's success, Ed and Eldon knew it was time to go bigger. They set their eyes on New York City, knowing that the country's largest school system's inequalities were vast, and the need for music education was significant.
They also recognized that actual growth would require the kind of hands-on leadership Ed, who had been ETM's de facto executive director, would not be able to provide as a practicing attorney working 60-hour weeks. So they asked Kathy to become ETM's first Executive Director, a role she graciously accepted and held until 2018.
The Real Joy
Under Kathy's leadership and continued by current Executive Director Janice Weinman, ETM has continued to grow and evolve. Today, ETM partners with 55 New York City schools and provides access to high-quality music education to 18,000 students a week. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have offered on-demand music lessons and remote teaching, in addition to in-person learning in our partner schools. Our music lessons have been featured on BronxNet and WNET TV stations, and our online library videos are viewed about 4,000 times a month.
But what does Ed think about ETM's success?
"At one level, it's gratifying for me to know that I had helped to bring this about. But on the other hand, I was really interested in the cause! And I was delighted to think that there were thousands of kids now getting a better education."
Ed adds, "the real joy I get out of it is the thought that it is actually making a difference in the lives of thousands of these kids."

Our Updating NBA Depth Charts Give You A New Way To Follow Your Squad
Dec. 18, 2018 , at 1:07 PM
By Chris Herring
Our new model gives the Golden State Warriors a 51 percent chance of winning another title.
Jason Miller / Getty Images
If you've followed along with our NBA projection system in recent years, you probably noticed a recurring theme. During the regular season, the Golden State Warriors would either hit dry spells while key players were injured, or coach Steve Kerr, guarding against injuries, would frequently sit key players. Because of that, the Warriors would lose games that ultimately didn't matter that much, and our Elo model — designed to track the ebbs and flows of the season's wins and losses — would punish Golden State each time. But like clockwork, the Warriors would emerge in the spring as strong as ever — despite their blemished Elo rating.
Even after updating our model in 2015 to try to account better for the talent on each team (using a blend of our basic Elo ratings and our preseason CARMELO player projections,1 which we called "CARM-Elo"), the model would give us some weird projections because it still reacted solely to wins and losses — it didn't understand injuries, trades or rest.
Last year, that flaw left CARM-Elo insisting that the baby-faced Sixers had a better probability of winning it all as the playoffs approached than the battle-tested Warriors did.2 The Elo-based system simply proved to be a bit too gullible, with too much of a recency bias to recognize that just because a team is playing extremely well doesn't mean it's going to be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy at season's end. So we've tried to fix these problems by launching a new set of projections specific to each team's baseline talent.
Our NBA forecast now offers two sets of projections: one that will track teams' basic Elo ratings just like our original forecasts and one based solely on our player projections, without focusing on daily wins or losses.3 The latter projection will account for real-time movements and talent adjustments on the depth charts for every team — which are available to check out on the new individual team pages. That marks a somewhat seismic shift for the system, since it didn't previously have a way of factoring in long-term injuries or the idea of players resting. But now those things are considered, and it shows in the new ratings. (Read more about the methodology here.)
How CARMELO compares with previous forecasts
Side-by-side feature comparison between FiveThirtyEight's Elo, CARM-Elo and CARMELO NBA forecasts
CARM-Elo
Preseason team ratings use … Last year's final rating, regressed to the mean Up-to-date depth charts Up-to-date depth charts
In-season ratings updates use … Game results Game results Player ratings and rosters
Accounts for postseason experience? ✓ ✓
Accounts for trades and injuries? ✓
Used in 2018-19 predictions? ✓
(if you select it on the Standings page) ✓
The Warriors are a great example of the differences between the forecasts. With our basic Elo rating projections, Golden State currently has just a 27 percent probability of reaching the NBA Finals and a puzzling 14 percent chance of winning a title. That's lower than the Raptors' 21 percent championship odds — and it's a relative head-scratcher for a back-to-back champion that's still relatively young and returned the vast majority of its core from the past two years.
Yet using the new CARMELO forecast, which takes into account a team's talent and fully healthy potential, the Warriors' probability of reaching the finals is a whopping 67 percent, and their chances of winning a third-consecutive championship sit at 51 percent.
Those numbers, far more in line with conventional wisdom, are based on two things: First, Golden State has an insane amount of talent when healthy — far more than any other club. (This is reflected in the full-strength CARMELO.) Second, the system believes that the Warriors are nowhere near their peak yet because of all the injuries they've dealt with to this point. They just recently got Stephen Curry and Draymond Green back in the lineup, and the team should see All-Star DeMarcus Cousins make his Golden State debut soon. And rotation players Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston rejoined the team Monday.
Looking beyond the Warriors, there are a handful of other key takeaways that stand out with the new system:
The Nuggets haven't hit their peak, but the system doesn't fully buy their talent
Aside from a poor stretch in mid-November, Denver has arguably been the most solid team in the NBA to this point. The Nuggets are tied for first place out West and have pieced together an unprecedented turnaround on the defensive end.
Nothing about this situation comes across as a fluke so far in our forecast. In fact, if anything, the model thinks Denver is capable of more. Earlier this week, Denver has the biggest gap in the league between its full-strength CARMELO rating and its current rating — a 63-point shortfall.
That, of course, stems from the fact that the Nuggets are awaiting the returns of Will Barton, Gary Harris, Paul Millsap and Isaiah Thomas.4 Denver hasn't been fully healthy all year. But when the team gets everyone back, it will be interesting to see just how far it can push things.
However, while the forecast realizes that the Nuggets haven't been healthy yet, it only recognizes them as the West's fourth-most talented club at full strength, after Golden State, Oklahoma City and … Houston. The Thunder and Rockets currently own championship probabilities of 8 and 4 percent, respectively, while the Nuggets claim just a 2 percent chance. The numbers may be a nod to the fact that depth — which Denver has far more of than those other contenders — generally means less during the playoffs, when stars often steal the show (a fact our model now accounts for).
If there's a saving grace for the team's fans, it's that the basic Elo projections are still high on Denver and have the club tied for the fourth-highest title probability, with a 9 percent chance.
The updated forecast believes in the Rockets but hates the Kings and Mavs
The CARMELO forecast model relies on real-time depth-chart information to make its projections. So the CARM-Elo system might have penalized the Rockets for technically having Carmelo Anthony on the roster, even though he's away from the team and hasn't suited up for more than a month. But just like Mike D'Antoni, the new mode simply assigns Anthony no minutes on the depth chart and moves forward.
And speaking of Houston, the club is an interesting one to analyze here because of how fervently the model still believes in the Rockets, who are given a 93 percent chance of reaching the playoffs despite having a record just barely over .500 more than a third of the way through the campaign. By contrast, the basic Elo forecast has them at just 72 percent to make the postseason.
Again, this is almost certainly the new model showing faith in the top of Houston's depth chart: It likely believes that guards Chris Paul and Eric Gordon won't continue to have career-worst years from an efficiency standpoint.5 (Those deficiencies alone don't explain the Rockets' slide — which many of us saw coming — on their own. The team also gambled by letting two of its better, more switchy perimeter defenders walk without having reliable replacements for them.)
Yet while the CARMELO team projections are high on Houston, they don't make much of a pair of a clubs that have been pleasant surprises this season. The Kings and Mavericks, each with records above .500, are given just 6 and 4 percent probabilities, respectively, to make the playoffs. That's a night-and-day difference from the basic Elo model, which gives Sacramento a 34 percent chance of getting in and Dallas a 21 percent chance.
What that spells out, aside from CARMELO's limited belief in each roster, is the model's view that neither club has enough battle-tested veterans in their rotation to get a boost for postseason experience. The Mavs are tied with the Nets for lowest playoff adjustment in the new system, while the Kings rank seventh-lowest. Houston, by contrast, has the fifth-highest adjustment for its postseason experience.
Overall, we think the changes to our model will help us do a better job of predicting the season. And now you can check out the inner workings of what goes into the predictions on each team's page. You can see the depth charts we're working with — which, by definition, are estimates, but we try to keep them updated daily by tracking trades, injuries and other changes to each player's status — as well as an updating chart of a team's chance to make the playoffs. Also included is a handy graph of changes to a team's talent rating, which highlights the difference between how a club looks at full strength compared with the present moment.
So when you're watching the NBA's Christmas Day games with friends and family, check out our predictions to follow along with how each team has been playing and sound like an expert.
Which estimate a player's future performance based on the trajectory of similar NBA players.
Last season's system was the first of ours to use a playoff-experience metric, which gave credence to teams with considerable postseason chops. We found the addition necessary after LeBron and the lackadaisical Cavs kept flipping the switch after stumbling into the playoffs each year.
We'll no longer be using the CARM-Elo forecast at all.
It remains to be seen whether Thomas's return will actually benefit Denver, particularly with how well Monte Morris has been playing as the backup point guard.
Keep in mind that CARMELO does project and account for a player's aging curve, and it updates player talent ratings in-season.

EmRata Buys Her T-Shirts From This Cult NY Skater Brand
By Alice Newbold 15 April 2020
A recent Instagram post from Emily Ratajkowski stood out for two reasons: the model was fully clothed (without so much as an ab flash on display), and she was wearing menswear.

EmRata posted a picture of herself wearing the muted loungewear she has been living in during lockdown (she has previously shared a shout-out to her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, for owning so many tracksuits for her to borrow), but with a new Tee from Noah on display. Identifiable owing to the tiny logo stitched onto the pocket, the £52 cotton basic is manufactured in a small American factory in accordance with the brand ethos: to always put tradition, expertise and human dignity before the bottom line.
The New York-based label founded by Brendon Babenzien is rooted in subcultures, such as skating, surfing and alternative music, and makes clothing to suit these free-spirited lifestyles. As well as Ratajkowski's easy Tee, Noah's bread-and-butter products are crew-neck jumpers, hoodies, flannel shirts, totes and caps. "We believe in doing things our own way, with conviction, according to principles we determine ourselves," says Babenzien of his mission to keep costs down for its customers, while making clothes responsibly. "That's the definition of punk rock to us, and we're interested in the endless ways people from all walks of life manifest this attitude." The company pledges one per cent of its annual sales to a global network of grassroots environmental nonprofits.

Noah continues the counter-cultural vision of lifestyle labels such as Stüssy, which changed the menswear game when founder Shawn Stüssy started screen-printing T-shirts and shorts to sell alongside the surfboards he was shaping on Laguna Beach in the '80s. For Americans who had previously bought workaday pieces from Sears or Dickies, Stüssy's energising presence in the clothing market was big news. Authentic streetwear brands, such as Palace and Supreme, soon followed and spawned legions of cult fans. While Noah might not have fanatical customers queuing for hours to pocket its latest drops, it could see a surge of customers owing to Ratajkowski.

This is my favorite restaurant. I come here regularly! I enjoy the food,it's amazing. Some staffs need a little more training in making sure customers get the drinks they order. Instead of always forgetting! Horrible servers! But will continue to go!
Received chocolate banana milkshakes instead of chocolate peanut butter. Steak was requested to be cooked at medium, was not cooked entirely medium. Some spots were rare.
Pancakes were dried out. But all the sides were great.

Food was fresh and warm. Delivery was okay. Wait time for food was reasonable.

Ahava Investigated by the Russell Tribunal on Palestine
At the Russell Tribunal on Palestine London Session in November, 2010, Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories was found to be complicit with Israel's violations of international law. Ahava is an occupation profiteer and as such is the subject of an international boycott campaign.
Stolen Beauty campaign organizers Nancy Kricorian and Rae Abileah traveled to London to give a testimony on Ahava at the Tribunal.
See the video of their testimony here. Note: The Ahava testimony begins at 23:33 and ends at 41:45.
Read our press release about the Tribunal's findings.
See the video of the civil disobedience action activists in London organized at Ahava's flagship UK store during the Tribunal.

Statement to the Russell Tribunal on Palestine People's Jury
Submitted by Nancy Kricorian and Rae Abileah - October 2010
Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories (1) is a privately held Israeli cosmetics company that manufactures products using minerals and mud from the Dead Sea. Its products generate nearly $150 million in annual sales in thirty countries (2). The company's main factory and visitors' center are located in the Israeli settlement of Mitzpe Shalem in the Occupied West Bank. (All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law (3)). 37% of the company shares are held by the settlement of Kibbutz Mitzpe Shalem, 34% by Hamashbir Holdings (the investment fund of B. Gaon Holdings and the Livnat family), 18.5% are held by Shamrock Holdings (the investment fund of the Roy E. Disney family), and 7.5% by the West Bank settlement of Kibbutz Kalia. (4)
The settlements of Mitzpe Shalem and Kalia are cooperatives owned by the settlers living in them, and together they own 44% of Ahava. Both of these settlements are deep inside Palestinian territory. Mitzpe Shalem is about 9 km from the Green Line and Kalia is 30 km from the Green line. Ahava's profits are therefore subsidizing these illegal settlements and their residents. According to mapping done by Adalah, The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, formerly there were a few Palestinian communities on the lands on which these two settlements are located: Nabi Musa where Kalia is now situated and 'Arab al-Ta'amira near Mitzpe Shalem. (5)
Ahava labels its goods as "products of Israel" when in fact they are made in the Occupied West Bank. According to international law, including the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions and even according to findings of Israel's own Supreme Court (6), the West Bank cannot be considered to be part of the State of Israel. The UN Security Council (6.1), the UN General Assembly (6.2), the United States (6.3), the EU (6.4), the International Court of Justice (6.5), and the International Committee of the Red Cross (6.6) refer to it as Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory. Misleading labeling makes it difficult for consumers to identify the actual source of the products they are purchasing. Consequently, this labeling is under investigation in the Netherlands (7) and the U.K. (8), and activists in France have filed suit against Sephora for carrying these products because of Ahava's illegal practices. (9)
A journalist who was researching an article about the boycott campaign against Ahava received no reply from the company's spokesperson to his queries about the company's illegal practices, but an Israeli government spokesman offered this answer: "The Palestinians did nothing with this land when they had it…And the Palestinians still have access to the Dead Sea. If they wanted to, they could set up a factory themselves." (10) This response was at best disingenuous, as it has been well documented that Palestinian access to the Dead Sea for even a day at the beach is highly restricted by the Israeli Defense Forces and their extensive system of roadblocks throughout the Occupied West Bank. (11) Additionally, the entire occupied area on the shores of the Dead Sea is classified as "Area C." That means that in order to build there the Palestinians need permission from the Israeli Civil Administration. As reports from human rights and other organizations show, the Civil Administration does not allow any Palestinian construction in Area C. This is true for much smaller projects such as building toilet facilities for a school inside a Palestinian village, let alone building an entire factory. (12) So his statement is a blunt lie.
In conclusion, we find that the company Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories, because of the location of its factory and visitors center on occupied land, its subsidies to two illegal settlements and their residents that are co-owners of the enterprise, and its fraudulent labeling practices, is clearly an Israeli profiteer in Occupied Palestinian territory.

I love bonding with my 7 year old daughter, Maclane, and planning special activities together. We might take a mommy and me yoga class, go out to lunch, or get a manicure together as a treat for a special occasion like a birthday or wedding!
I have been getting a lot of questions this week about the safety of child facials or "baby facials" after a photo of Harper Beckham receiving this type of facial was shared on social media.
First, Is a "Baby Facial" Safe?
Children naturally have lots of collagen and hyaluronic acid in their skin, so their skin is naturally more smooth and plump than adult skin. However, they are more prone to absorbing ingredients rubbed onto their skin than adults due to a number of factors including their high surface area-to-volume ratio and immature drug metabolism systems. This can present safety concerns depending upon the type of products and ingredients used during the facial.
Additionally, some facials can use products that make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Given that children spend more time playing outdoors and are not as diligent with sunscreen, this is something to consider when providing consent for a facial treatment. Furthermore, sun damage during childhood can have especially serious consequences when it comes to skin cancer risk down the road.
And – some facials involve extractions. If those extractions are too aggressive, it could bruise, break a blood vessel, or leave a permanent "ice pick" scar in the skin.
Finally, children are generally not as careful around steam and boiling water so depending on the facial, there could be a risk of being burned.
From my clinical experience (and life experience), children can be very susceptible to comments made about their skin and appearance. A well-meaning practitioner might begin a treatment by pointing out an "area of concern" or identifying "problem areas" in the skin. I would hesitate to expose my daughter unnecessarily to these types of comments given the impact they could potentially have upon her emotional well-being and self-esteem.
In my opinion, if Mac really wanted to experience a "baby facial" specifically geared toward children which involves pampering and positivity and some natural, clean skincare products, I don't think it can hurt. On the flip side, if she feels like we are treating an "issue", addressing a "problem", or if she thinks she "needs" this to be beautiful/healthy, then I would most likely believe that the risk outweighs the benefit.

Calcium Calculator
Are you getting enough calcium? The mineral calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones throughout your life.
Calcium is important for preventing osteoporosis and bone disease, as it's a major building-block of our bone tissue - our skeleton houses 99 % of our body's calcium stores. The calcium in our bones also acts as a reservoir for maintaining calcium levels in the blood, which is essential for healthy nerves and muscles.
The amount of calcium we need to consume changes at different stages in our lives. Calcium requirements are high in our teenage years with the rapid growth of the skeleton. With age, the body's ability to absorb calcium declines, which is one of the reasons why seniors also require higher amounts.

Fracture Risk Assessment
World Health Organization FRAX® Fracture Risk Assessment Tool evaluates fracture risk of patients. It is based on individual patient models that integrate the risks associated with clinical risk factors as well as bone mineral density at the femoral neck.
The FRAX® models have been developed from studying population-based cohorts from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
The FRAX® algorithms give the 10-year probability of fracture. The output is a 10-year probability of hip fracture and the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture (clinical spine, forearm, hip or shoulder fracture).

Q: How to run next fetch on timer thread after previous fetch completed? I have a java application.When the application starts a timer thread is starting to run and keeping the app updated with api. This thread is triggered every one minute.
But the program takes about 15 minutes to bring all the records from the app when the user logs in for the first time.
Once all the entries in the first login have arrived, the thread will continue to work as usual and keep the new records coming.
Since the data coming from the user's first login to the system is large, the data is processed in 15 minutes. This means that it will be triggered 15 times within 15 minutes. I've protected the method in which Thread works with a synchronize keyword.
There's something else I need to do.
After the previous fetch of Thread, the other fetch to run.
Is there a mistake as logic.
My Timer thread code blok as follows;
final Timer timer = new Timer("Sikke Timer Task");
    long delay = SikkeConstant.THREAD_DELAY;
    long intervalPeriod = SikkeConstant.INTERVAL_PERIOD; //60sec

As part of Climate Week, Emyr Roberts, Chief Executive of Natural Resources Wales, looks at the future of flood risk in Wales and how taking a broader approach in the future can reduce the risk for people and help the environment.
This winter Wales has witnessed two of the most devastating storms to hit our coastline in decades.
Hundreds of homes and businesses flooded, thousands of people affected, hundreds of acres of farmland swamped, transport links severed, millions of pounds worth of damage caused.
It will take many months to recover from the fear, heartbreak and destruction they caused.
Our report on the coastal floods, commissioned by the Minister for Natural Resources and Food, Alun Davies AM, identified more than £11million worth of damage to the Welsh coast, £8.1million of this to coastal flood defences.
In 2012 we also saw flooding, this time on rivers, devastating communities in Ruthin, St Asaph and in the Aberystwyth area.
England has also witnessed flooding on a large scale in the Somerset Levels, the Thames Valley and other areas.
We are experiencing more extreme weather patterns. And while we cannot attribute any single event to climate change, these types of event are exactly what we would expect from the warming climate: more storms, more intense rainfall, and more frequent, severe flooding.
At Natural Resources Wales, and amongst our partners, we are already planning for this increased risk.
