Heavy cloud keeps our field of view along the horizontal: perfect time for panning!
$1500 | 6 Participants Max.
Learn everything from the basics to the complex of panorama photography in this post-processing intense 4-day workshop. If you have never tried a pano, have tried but had problematic results, or want to learn how to perfect this technique this is the workshop for you. Please bring whatever pano gear you have and if you want to try out panos for the first time there are two Really Right Stuff multi-row panning heads to experiment with. Post processing will be a major focus of this workshop and you will need to bring a laptop with Photoshop 6 (or newer) or Lightroom CC or newer. If you really want to get into multi-row panoramas you'll want to have either PTGui (recommended), AutoPano Giga, or Hugin (free).
This workshop with start at 1pm with an overview of pano technique and pitfalls. We'll then delve into the issue of parallax and diagnosing the no-parallax-point on your camera. We'll head out into beautiful Acadia National Park in the late afternoon to start shooting panorama material.
At a minimum you will need a camera, lens, tripod, tripod head with an independent panning lock, and a laptop with Lightroom 6 or Photoshop CS 6 or newer. If you have other equipment such as a panning clamp and rail (which is necessary to eliminate parallax) you will have more compositional options and better blending. If multi-row or spherical panos are your endgame then you'll want to have a multi-row panning head such as the ones from Really Right Stuff or Nodal Ninja.
Panoramas get big fast, especially with 24 and 36 megapixel cameras. You'll need plenty of available storage, both in camera and on your computer. While out in the field it's best to take notes, either on paper or on your phone, about the sequence you shoot.

You love your kids, but they sure wrecked your body! Loose skin, stretch marks, unwanted fat and lax stomach muscles are all undesirable consequences of child birth or weight loss. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat, tightens the remaining tissues and restores a more youthful contour.
Overly large breasts can cause back and neck pain, skin rashes, problems fitting clothes and may get in the way of sporting activities. Reduction Mammoplasty surgery gets rid of the weight and reshapes the breast. This operation has a very high patient satisfaction rate with a fairly low risk.


Yesterday afternoon the Year Six pupils held the annual harvest sale. Each pupil was given a table to be responsible for. Class by class pupils came into the hall to buy produce which had been kindly donated to raise money for the local charity Gloucester City Mission. Over £250 was raised to help the homeless of Gloucester. Here are some photos from the afternoon.

What Are The Importance of Trichomes?
by Strain | Dec 13, 2022 | Cannabis, Enjoy
Cannabis has unquestionably a scientific basis, and in recent years, its language and terms are becoming much more technical. Trichomes are one of the most used keywords in the cannabis industry and if you enjoy cannabis, you've wondered at some point what those crystals are on the leaves and buds of the plant and why they are so important.
So, let's learn more details about this crucial part of the plant.
Trichomes Characteristics
The hundreds of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that give our favorite cannabis strains their potency, distinctiveness, and effectiveness are actually produced by trichomes.
Trichomes are frequently referred to as the cellular metabolite factory of cannabinoid and terpene production. These glandular appendages are found on flowers, bracts, and leaves of cannabis flowers.
Cannabis trichomes resemble mushrooms in shape and have bulbous, spherical heads supported by a stalk. Approximately 50–100 microns broad (1 mm = 1000 microns), they are also quite small.
Why are Trichomes Considered a Defense Mechanism?
Trichomes in cannabis act as a defense mechanism to shield the plant from pathogens, insects, and environmental stressors. Non-glandular trichomes serve as surface structures that shield plant organs from a variety of biotic and abiotic stressors.
In nature, female cannabis plants frequently become more susceptible to insects, animals, and non-living environmental factors including potentially harmful UV radiation.
Trichomes act as a defense mechanism for plants because they prevent animals from eating the blossoms because of their powerful odors but they also protect their plants from harmful winds and even some types of fungal development.
Trichomes on Cannabis
Cannabinoids synthesize in the trichome just as the plant enters its flowering stage. Trichomes form along the outer surface of cannabis plants when they start to produce flowers and metabolize the precursors for a wide range of cannabinoids, including THCA and CBDA.
Trichomes can consist of scales, papillae, glandular hairs, and hairs. They develop on the appendages of several plants, including cannabis, as well as on lichens and algae.
Types of Trichomes on Cannabis
Trichomes are divided into two categories: glandular and non-glandular and only the glandular ones produce cannabinoids. Trichomes come in a variety of sizes and shapes and glandular trichomes are separated into three categories that are the most frequently seen on cannabis plants.
Bulbous Trichomes: This is the smallest kind of trichomes that can't be seen without a microscope. Despite covering the whole surface of the plant, bulbous trichomes are hard to see because they are made up of so few cells.
Capitate-sessile Trichomes: These are the "medium-sized" trichomes and cover the largest area on the cannabis plant, including the leaves and stems, measuring between 25 and 100 micrometers. These trichomes, which are primarily found on the underside of sugar and fan leaves, have mushroom-like bulbous forms. They have secretory cells at the base that produce terpenes and cannabinoids.
Capitate-stalked Trichomes: Capitate-stalked trichomes are the largest of the three categories and can measure from 50 to 500 micrometers, making them the easiest to spot with the naked eye. They resemble little sticky mushrooms with a bulb at their heads. These trichomes are responsible for cannabinoid and terpene synthesis and produce most of the resin and THC.
Cannabis trichomes have crucial functions in providing hundreds of known medicinally and therapeutically advantageous compounds that are unique to cannabis, in addition to protecting the plant from external factors. However, always keep in mind that if a strain has a lot of trichomes this isn't a good sign of the plant's cannabinoid content. So, do your research before buying a new strain from the dispensary!

Q: Custom EditorFor Template and htmlAttributes I'm trying to use EditorFor custom templates.
I want to create a Int32 and decimal templates to render the inputs with some validations.
This is what I'm trying
@model int?

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model, null, new { @type="text", @oninput = "this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'')" } )

And I call it like
@Html.EditorFor(x => x.ExampleIntField)

It renders an <input type="text", oninput="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'')"
To here everything works, but when I try to pass extra htmlAttributes like readonly I don't understand how I must receive it in EditorFor template.
Example
@Html.EditorFor(x => x.ExampleIntField, new { htmlAttributes = new { @readonly = "readonly" } } )

I tried this I got the exact same <input type="text", oninput="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'')" rendered without readonly attribute

A: You are using the overload of EditorFor() that passes the object as additionalViewData. You can read that within the template from the ViewDataDictionary
@model int?
@{ var attributes = ViewData["htmlAttributes"]; } // returns { @readonly = "readonly" }

which you could then merge with your existing attributes and use in the TextBoxFor() method.
@{
    var htmlAttributes = HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(attributes);
    htmlAttributes.Add("oninput", "this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'')";
}
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model, htmlAttributes)

Note that TextBoxFor() generates type="text" so there is no need to add it again. In addition, you do not need the leading @ unless its a reserved keyword (for example @class = "...")

Growing up is a peculiar and sometimes frightening experience, laden with heavy choices and hard decisions and a lingering fear of what lies ahead. People cope with the stress of looming adulthood in a number of different ways. Some hurl themselves into the great unknown of adolescence; others grapple with the problems of reality in a different way. They attempt to quantify them, give them names and weaknesses so that they can be confronted, conquered and laid to rest without looking back and combating them at the source.
This is how Barbara Thorson operates. The youngest child of an acutely dysfunctional family, with a sister struggling to stay employed and keep a divided house in order and a brother who spends his time captivated by his PS4, she is a self-styled 'giant slayer'. Routinely venturing into the natural surroundings beyond her home, she styles herself as a hunter of beasts straight out of a fantasy novel as she roams about with her trusty 'war hammer', Covalesci, looking for the next apparent beast to slay. But elsewhere, she is considered peculiar; a frequent target of harassment at school, a troublesome pupil for teachers and a source of exasperation for her desperate older sister. When a British girl named Sophia (Sydney Wade) moves into the area and discovers Barbara fiddling with her assorted 'giant traps', the two spark off an odd kind of friendship. However, this is merely a prelude to the drama to come as Barbara sees more 'giants' looming on the horizon. Seeing them as a portent of an impending disaster, she becomes ever more determined to stop them, no matter what it takes.
I Kill Giants is already being set up to be a tragic victim of disingenuous marketing, because evidently, the suits believe that honesty will not sell tickets. For those without knowledge of the source material, it will seem like some suburban fantasy action romp from the trailers, when that could not be farther from the truth. It does have action in a sense, but this is a work that is firmly grounded in reality beyond the veneer of lumbering giants. The film is not a fantasy flick by any stretch of the imagination; rather, it is a character study. Barbara - with young Madison Wolfe giving the performance of her career, and I strongly hope this takes her to new heights - appears to be the walking embodiment of eccentricity on a surface level. She immerses herself in mythological knowledge, she has an unyielding fascination with all things fantastical, she has knowledge of obscure facets of baseball, she possesses a sharp wit and a way of speaking quite unlike those of her age group, and operates out of a self-made base filled with assorted equipment and bric-a-brac, wherein she devises her plans against the 'giants'. Her character seems all sorts of strange superficially, but as the film progresses the viewer comes to see Barbara for what she actually is, and what she so fiercely struggles against. The revelation of such is pleasingly gradual and organic; up until a certain point, we can only make assumptions mostly based off of Barbara's personal lexicon. 'Giants' are a catch-all term for the problems that she encounters, her parents are curiously absent and mention is made of how 'upstairs' is strangely forbidden. One can make educated guesses, but the film teases with only brief glimpses of thought-provoking and tantalizing details, a wind-up for a tried but true gut-punch.
Beneath the quirky and strangely charming veneer and the odd yet adorable rabbit-ears headband she so often wears, Barbara is the quintessential image of a troubled youth, who tries despite everything to stave off the trials that beset her and her family, and while this is endearing in a way, the film also pulls no punches in showing its downsides. Along with the aforementioned harassment at and outside of school - that shows no qualms about getting violent - she treats her lessons with forced acceptance at best and absolute disdain at worst, prioritizing her 'giant-hunting' activities above virtually everything else and being incredibly vague when people, including her own family, ask for explanations. This attitude also extends, at least initially, to her psychiatric evaluation sessions with Mrs. Molle (Zoe Saldana), the only member of the school's faculty to overtly display sympathy for her and who is willing to try and understand her; "Teachers aren't paid enough for that kind of abuse, she's a psychiatrist", Barbara says, in the aftermath of a particularly heated moment. The extent to which she is ostracised for her mannerisms is also made clear, with an abundance of curious glances being shot her way as she strides down hallways, disparaging murmurs being flung her way and with Barbara herself acknowledging that she is a 'freak' with limited social skills. Her interactions with Sophia, herself played solidly by Wade, serve to gradually bring her out of her shell, but are also ruthlessly exploited by bullying types, with additional misunderstandings, familial divides and bouts of raw emotional outbursts to boot. Suffice it to say the film makes doubly sure that Barbara, and most of the rest of the cast, are put through the wringer before the denouement.
It may seem frustrating, perhaps intentionally so, to see these people put through so much while yearning for the situation to improve, but is through the hardships that the film proves itself. I Kill Giants is a feature with a single driving message: that although reality is often harsh, cruel and unpredictable, we emerge all the stronger for managing to face it head-on. To the film's credit, however, it never once feels as though the script is belittling Barbara for acting the way she does. While other members of the cast throw criticism her way, the way she is depicted and the way her character writing translates from the source material to the screen allows us to sympathize with her fully, and never denigrates her for her habits. Although the overall message is one of acceptance and of facing one's demons, it casts no shame on what she does to cope with the troubles she faces, and that is what makes Barbara's character, and I Kill Giants as a whole, so outstanding. It's an accurate representation and an acknowledgment of the things some people do to endure the ever-shifting vicissitudes of life, and though the film is a firm believer in the idea of troubles shared being troubles halved, it is understanding of those who are locked in the struggle of early adolescence. Because of this, Barbara emerges as a truly exemplary character and a role model for youngsters who feels entirely natural and relatable. She becomes someone you want to see succeed, who you want to protect, to support and comfort in her moments of fragility and doubt, and that stands as a testament to the effectiveness of Kelly's original writing and the deftness he exhibits in carefully adapting his work for the screen, the overall faithfulness of the adaptation, and the strength of the film as a whole.
I Kill Giants is a simple tale, told earnestly, featuring solid performances all round, decent effects work, and a strong emotional core surrounded by characters who feel human, trying to do the best they can with the lot they are given. Being adapted from a rather niche source, it is perhaps not for everyone, but I implore you not to be dissuaded by dishonest advertising. Beyond the CGI giants, it is a tale of blossoming maturity, emotional closure and personal acceptance - a film that tells all those in Barbara's position, as she herself eventually espouses: "We're stronger than we think."

Refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi has returned home to Australia following his release from a Thai jail.
The Bahraini national was detained for over two months in a Bangkok prison after he was arrested on an Interpol notice issued by Bahrain.
The Arab kingdom ended extradition attempts on Monday, following an international human rights campaign.
"I would like to say thanks to Australia. It's amazing to see all of the people here and all of the Australian people who supported me," he told the crowd gathered outside the airport.
The 25-year-old footballer, a vocal critic of Bahrain authorities, had fled to Australia in 2014 where he was granted political asylum.
While in Australia, Bahrain sentenced him to 10 years for vandalising a police station, charges which he has denied.
Human rights activists had warned that he could face torture if sent back to the Arab kingdom.
Hours before his arrival home, his wife told the BBC she was deeply thankful for the lobbying efforts of the Australian government and public, and the international football community.
A campaign to secure his release was spearheaded by Craig Foster, a former Australian national football captain and TV host, who galvanised lobbying efforts from football's international governing body Fifa and the International Olympic Committee.
"He is probably the most famous young man in Australia right now. A very courageous young man, a human rights defender who we're so proud for all of Australia to have fought so hard to bring back home," said Mr Foster while standing next to al-Araibi.

Cedar Rapids mayor's bike ride stresses bike safety on roads
By Brea Love, KCRG-TV9 |
Updated: Mon 9:10 PM, Sep 05, 2016
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) – On a beautiful Labor Day morning more than 300 bikers met on Cedar Rapids' northwest side for Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett's Labor Day bike ride.
Bikers big and small came out for the ride including 10-year-old avid bikers and twin brothers Conner and Vince Peters.
"I like riding bikes because we get to go outdoors a lot and see a lot of good animals," Conner said.
"We get to ride them like mostly every day," Vince said.
Their mom Dixie Peters brought them out to teach them about local roads and trail safety. She said it's important to do at a young age.
"My mother showed me at a young age. I rode with her for a long time before I started on my own so I try to carry that over to my family. Just to be safe around cars and make sure you communicate," Peters said.
But it's not only a chance for kids to learn.
"I think it's important to promote healthy living. Blue Zones is a big deal. Just to prevent disease and become a part of a community. Not to be at home all the time where no one can see you, but be out and about and make friends," Peters said.
Mayor Corbett said the goal of Monday's ride is just that. He wants to encourage people to support the biking community and stress safety out on the roads.
"It's important to be out and educate, not just for the bike riders to obey traffic laws, but the motorists to pay attention around bicycles," Corbett said. "We've made efforts these last years to do exactly that. We've added bike lanes, sometimes we've painted those bike lanes green to identify them more. It's a combination of the riders acknowledging they are on the road, and also the motorists. We're going to continue with the policy that the road is shared."
Riders were able to select an 8 or 2 mile ride, which took them around downtown with a loop back to Ellis Park where they started. That allowed riders to see the many amenities and trails available to them.
"We have big companies like Rockwell Collins that need bicycle lanes because a lot of their employees want to bike to work. It's too difficult to do that if you don't have bike lanes on some of the heavier traffic roads," Corbett said. We've seen businesses that have popped up, created jobs, created tax breaks that actually cater to the biking public."
The city plans to continue working to make Cedar Rapids bicyclist and motorists safe.
"We're going to continue with more bike lanes in the community, and we want to become a more bike friendly community, even more so than we are today. More and more people are riding their bikes each and every year so it's great to see," Corbett said.

The age between 21 years and 50 years is the most excellent opportune time period for growth and development in a person's life. The ability to accept new ideas or to take up new activities start to diminish after the age of 50 years.
This central time-period is also very significant not only from the perspective of physical abilities and mental faculties, but this duration is also very important time-period to build foundations to maintain these capabilities after the age of 50 years.
Special Sadhanas like Apsara Sadhanas should be accomplished in such golden moments of life. The sheer levels of physical energy and mental joy, which one derives from Apsara Sadhana, provides continuous benefits through various modes throughout the life.
It is a factually stated fact that one achieves quick success in other Sadhanas, after accomplishment of Apsara Sadhana. The transformation and rejuvenation of Sadhak's physical body after accomplishment of Apsara Sadhana enables him to retain inner youth permanently.
Rambha Apsara is the foremost in the category of elevated Apsaras. She shines out through Her unparalleled beauty along with extreme politeness, courtesy and mannerly conduct. Rambha is the essence of stunning physical beauty, sweet melodious voice, and youthful unbridled fresh joy-energy-excitement of dance, music, poetry and humor. Even an old man rejuvenates with youthful energy through Her Sadhana. She enables the Yogis to successfully accomplish their Sadhanas. Every man and woman should develop an interest in performing this Sadhana to attain desirable energy and attraction. If we were to coin a term to articulate the entire beauty of this nature, then Rambha is the only name which we can come up with. Rambha, the beautiful Apsara with gorgeous proportioned figure, deep shapely breasts, long thick dark tresses, attractive captivating lively eyes, enchanting smile, coy demure radiating out sparkly youth, can tempt even the greatest Yogis. Even the Gods yearn to catch a fleeting wisp of the divine fragrance emanating from Her divine form.
The ever youthful Apsara adorned with beautiful garments-jewels, appears before the Sadhak in lover form and gifts him mental energy, physical strength and enthralling beauty along with all kinds of material pleasures.
After successful accomplishment of Rambha Apsara Sadhana, she stays with the Sadhak like a shadow, in the gracious beneficial form, and assists him in achieving his desired goals.
The Sadhak develops a magnetic personality, attracting everyone towards him, after successful accomplishment of Rambha Apsara Sadhana.
All kinds of diseases, weakness and geriatric conditions evaporate after successful accomplishment of this Sadhana.
This is magnificent Sadhana, and the Gods, and Sages-Ascetics, along with Yogis have accomplished this Sadhana. It is a gentle Sadhana.
This Sadhana automatically imbibes the fine art of love and ardor into the Sadhak's personality. A person gets mired into the whirlpool of tensions and diseases in the absence of love in his life . Rabha Sadhana is a powerful providential medium to express love. Those who have not accomplished Rabha Sadhana, cannot comprehend the true love, joy and excitement in human life.
Sadhana Materials – Prana Pratishthita consecrated-sanctified Rambhotkeelan Yantra, Apsara Mala, Soundarya Gutika and Saafalya Mudrika. It is a seven night nocturnal Sadhana. This Sadhana can be started initiated from any Poornima Full-Moon, Friday or any day of Guru Pushya, Ravi Pushya or Sarvaartha Siddhi Yoga.
After taking the bath, the Sadhak should spread Pink colored cloth on a wooden board in front of him. He should sit facing East direction on a Yellow or White colored Asana, dressed in beautiful attractive clothes. He should light a ghee lamp, place a plate on the wooden-board and invoke Rambha holding pink petals in both palms.
It is important to repeat this invocation at least 101 times. One petal should be placed on the plate with each invocation, and thus the entire plate will become full of petals after invocation.
Now place Apsara Mala on the petals. Then shower perfume on your seat-asana and your own body. Place Rambhotkeelan Yantra on a seat of flowers. Setup Gutika on the right-side and Saafalya Mudrika on the left side on the Yantra. The fragrant incense and ghee lamp should be continuously lit up during the entire duration of the Sadhana.
Thereafter chant 5 mala of following Mantra with Apsara Mala daily.
You should invoke Apsara daily and use two garlands of rose flowers. Wear one garland yourself and place the other garland near the Yantra. Whenever you sense arrival of someone, or if the fragrance enhances, or if the Apsara form appears even with closed eyes, then place the other rose garland on the Yantra.
The Sadhak gets a new experience daily in this Seven day Sadhana. The beauty-love expression enhances strongly in the mind. Sometimes the positive changes in beauty are fully visible. The women Sadhikas experience strong intensity on their face after performing this Sadhana.
After completion of Sadhana on the seventh day, offer the ring in the Shiva temple. Immerse all remaining materials in a river next day. Wishes definitely get fulfilled after completing this Sadhana with full focus and concentration.

Q: How to evaluate $\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t}dt$? The question starts with:
$$\int_0^1\frac{-2t^2+t}{-t^2+t}\ln(1-2t+2t^2)dt\text{ = ?}$$

My attempt is as follows:
$$\int_0^1\frac{-2t^2+t}{-t^2+t}\ln(1-2t+2t^2)dt$$
$$=2\int_0^1\ln(1-2t+2t^2)dt+\int_0^1\frac{-t}{-t^2+t}\ln(1-2t+2t^2)dt$$
$$=-4+\pi-\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{-t^2+t}dt$$
$$=-4+\pi-\frac{1}{2}(\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t}dt+\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{1-t}dt)$$
$$=-4+\pi-\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t}dt$$

The question left with: how can I evaluate:
$$\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t}dt$$
Wolfram Alpha gives me the result: $-\frac{\pi^2}{8}$, but I am not able to obtain this result by hand.

A: We have, observing that if $t\in\left(0,1\right)\Rightarrow2t\left(1-t\right)<1$, $$\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log\left(1-2t+2t^{2}\right)}{t}dt=-\sum_{k\geq1}\frac{2^{k}}{k}\int_{0}^{1}t^{k-1}\left(1-t\right)^{k}dt=
 $$ $$=-\sum_{k\geq1}2^{k}\frac{\left(k-1\right)!^{2}}{\left(2k\right)!}=-\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}
 $$ since $$\sum_{k\geq1}2^{2k-1}\frac{\left(k-1\right)!^{2}}{\left(2k\right)!}x^{2k}=\arcsin^{2}\left(x\right),\left|x\right|<1.$$

A: Integration by parts gives:
$$ \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log(t^2+(t-1)^2)}{t}\,dt = \int_{0}^{1}\frac{2t+2(t-1)}{t^2+(t+1)^2}\,\log(t)\,dt\\=-\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{1}{t-\frac{1+i}{2}}+\frac{1}{t-\frac{1-i}{2}}\right)\log(t)\,dt\tag{1}$$
but:
$$ \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log(t)}{t-a}\,dt = \text{Li}_2\left(\frac{1}{a}\right) \tag{2}$$
hence the previous integral is given by $-2\cdot\text{Re}\left[\text{Li}_2(1-i)\right]$, but that can be computed from the reflection formula for $\text{Li}_2$:
$$ \text{Li}_2(z)+\text{Li}_2(1-z)=\frac{\pi^2}{6}-\log(z)\log(1-z).\tag{3}$$

We may also notice that through the substitution $u=2t-1$ the last integral in $(1)$ becomes:
$$ I=-\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{2u}{u^2+1}\log\left(\frac{1+u}{2}\right)\,du=-\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{2u}{u^2+1}\log\left(1+u\right)\,du\\=-\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{u}{u^2+1}\log\left(\frac{1+u}{1-u}\right)\,du\tag{4}$$
since the integral of an odd, integrable function over a symmetric interval is zero.
But putting $u=\tanh z$, then $z=-\log v$, we are left with:
$$ I = -4\int_{0}^{+\infty}\frac{z\sinh(z)}{\cosh(z)\cosh(2z)}\,dz = 4 \int_{0}^{1}\frac{2v(1-v^2)}{(1+v^2)(1+v^4)}\log(v)\,dv\tag{5}$$
that is:
$$ I = 4\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{2v}{1+v^2}-\frac{2v^3}{1+v^4}\right)\log(v)\,dv = 3 \int_{0}^{1}\frac{2v}{1+v^2}\log(v)\,dv\tag{6}$$
and by expanding $\frac{2v}{1+v^2}$ as a Taylor series:

$$ I = 3 \sum_{n\geq 0}\left(-\frac{1}{2(n+1)^2}\right) = \frac{3}{2}\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}=\color{red}{-\frac{\pi^2}{8}}\tag{7}$$

as wanted, avoiding the $\text{Li}_2$ reflection formula (but, in facts, proving it).

It is interesting to remark that the last approach gives nice rational approximations of $\pi^2$.
For instance, in the same spirit we have:
$$ \int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{v}{1+v^2}+\frac{v^3}{1+v^4}-\frac{v^5}{1+v^6}+\frac{2v^7}{1+v^8}\right)\log(v)\,dv = -\frac{91}{3456}\,\pi^2 $$
where the function between parenthesis is chosen to be $v+v^9+o(v^9)$ in a right neighbourhood of the origin, so that the value of the integral is expected to be close to
$$\int_{0}^{1}(v+v^9)\log v\,dv = -\frac{13}{50}$$
and
$$ \pi^2\approx\frac{12^3}{7\cdot 5^2} $$
follows.

A: As OP has found
\begin{equation*}
I = \int_0^1\dfrac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t}\, dt = \dfrac{1}{2}\int_0^1\dfrac{\ln(1-2t+2t^2)}{t(1-t)}\, dt.
\end{equation*}
Via the transformation $s= \dfrac{t}{1-t}$ and a partial integration we get
\begin{equation*}
I = \dfrac{1}{2}\int_0^{\infty}\dfrac{\ln(1+s^2)-2\ln(1+s)}{s}\, ds = \int_0^{\infty}\dfrac{(1-s)\ln(s)}{(s+1)(s^2+1)}\, ds.
\end{equation*}
After integrating
\begin{equation*}
f(s) = \dfrac{(1-s)\log^2(s)}{(s+1)(s^2+1)}
\end{equation*}
along a keyhole or a branch cut we have
\begin{equation*}
\int_0^{\infty}\dfrac{(1-s)(\ln^2(s)-(\ln(s)+i2\pi)^2)}{(s^2+1)(s+1)}\, ds = 2\pi i\sum_{s=-1,\pm i}{\rm Res} f(s).
\end{equation*}
From this we can extract that $I = -\dfrac{\pi^{2}}{8}.$

A: In the path of JanG,
$J=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log\left(1-2t+2t^{2}\right)}{t}dt$
Perform the change of variable $s=1-t$:
$J=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log\left(1-2s+2s^{2}\right)}{1-s}ds$
Therefore,
$J=\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log\left(1-2s+2s^{2}\right)}{s(1-s)}ds$
Perform the change of variable $t=\dfrac{s}{1-s}$:
$J=\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{+\infty}\frac{\log(1+t^2)-2\log(1+t)}{t}dt$
$J=\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log(1+t^2)-2\log(1+t)}{t}dt+\dfrac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{+\infty}\frac{\log(1+s^2)-2\log(1+s)}{s}ds$
In the second integral perform the change of variable $t=\dfrac{1}{s}$,
$J=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\log(1+t^2)-2\log(1+t)}{t}dt$
Therefore,
$J=\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left[ \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \left(\dfrac{(-1)^{n+1}t^{2n-1}}{n}-\dfrac{2(-1)^{n+1}t^{n-1}}{n}\right)\right]dt$
$J=\displaystyle \dfrac{3}{2}\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \dfrac{(-1)^n}{n^2}$
$J=\displaystyle \dfrac{3}{2}\left(\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \dfrac{1}{4n^2}-\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \dfrac{1}{(2n+1)^2}\right)$
Since,
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \dfrac{1}{4n^2}=\dfrac{1}{4}\zeta(2)$
$\displaystyle -\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \dfrac{1}{(2n+1)^2}=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \dfrac{1}{4n^2}-\zeta(2)=-\dfrac{3}{4}\zeta(2)$
then,
$J=\displaystyle\dfrac{3}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\zeta(2)-\dfrac{3}{4}\zeta(2)\right)=-\dfrac{3}{4}\zeta(2)=-\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{\pi^2}{6}=-\dfrac{\pi^2}{8}$

Safeguarding And Welfare
At St. Mary's College we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected, valued and thrive. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.
The procedures contained in our safeguarding and child protection policies apply to all staff, visitors and governors and are consistent with those of the Local Safeguarding Children's Board (LSCB).
In essence our safeguarding policy principles are:
The welfare of the child is paramount
All children, regardless of age, gender, ability, culture, race, language, religion or sexual identity, have equal right to protection
All staff have an equal responsibility to act on any suspicion or disclosure that may suggest that a child is at risk of harm and to follow through with additional safeguarding measures if there is no sign of improvement
Pupils and staff involved in child protection issues will receive appropriate support
Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy can be accessed through the Policies page.
A link to the DfE guidance document for schools Keeping Children Safe in Education is available here.
Key Safeguarding Staff
The Designated Safeguarding Lead for Child Protection: Vice-Principal, Mrs Julie Thomas
The Designated Deputy Safeguarding Lead: Head of Lower School, Mrs Suzanne Bartolo
The Nominated Governor for Child Protection/Safeguarding: Mrs Pat Old
The College has a Designated Safeguarding Lead for Child Protection in each section:
The Senior School : Vice Principal, Mrs Julie Thomas
Preparatory School: Headmaster, Jonathan Webster
Kindergarten: Head of the Early Years Department, Alice Haigh
Photography And Images
The vast majority of people who take or view photographs or videos of children do so for entirely innocent, understandable and acceptable reasons. Sadly, some people abuse children through taking or using images, so we must ensure that we have some safeguards in place. To protect pupils we will:
Seek their consent for photographs to be taken or published (for example, on our website or in newspapers or publications)
Seek parental consent
Ensure pupils are appropriately dressed
Encourage pupils to tell us if they are worried about any photographs that are taken of them.
E-Safety Advice for Parents
In our ICT and PSHE lessons as well as in assemblies we cover all aspects of e-safety with our students.
Here are some helpful links for parents to highlight different aspects of e-safety
The NSPCC campaign ShareAware is specifically aimed at ages 8-12.
In this modern information age, parental engagement with their children about e-safety is absolutely vital. Research has shown that simply locking children out using specialised filters or software is not enough to keep them safe. They must learn how to cope with the technology. This ability to cope starts with the adults our children rely on including parents, carers and teachers. Openness, trust and mutual agreement is the most important safeguard there is. Useful links:
The first is some conversation starters for you to kick off a dialogue about e-safety.
The second link is a Parents Factsheet which has, within it, a whole host of other useful links. Though it may appear true that children know more about social networking etc., this does not mean that they are street-smart. Indeed, in studies, it emerges quite often how naïve children can be. As parents, you should always try to familiarise yourselves with the latest trends so that you keep in touch with the potential dangers that exist.
Digital Parenting magazine
In this publication, published by Vodafone, you'll find all sorts of useful information and tips about aspects of e-safety. It is an extremely well put together publication and is extremely useful for parents.
ChildNet International
This web page gives all sorts of useful information about how to support your children's use of internet technologies.
As devices become more and more mobile, the peace of mind that previously came with having a family computer in a living room so you can be aware of what children are doing has more or less ended. This link will give you some useful information about smartphones and how to manage their use.
Although parental controls are not the only tool that parents should use, they are part of the solution.
Know the Signs
This link is very interesting for parents to know what signs to look for in children being potentially exploited online.
The Education Department has launched a new free website providing information for schools and parents about many aspects of child safety. This e-Safety link comes from there and deals with the coded way children and young adults often communicate in when on-line.
Studies have demonstrated that there is a highly significant correlation between high levels of attendance and success at school. The Government expects pupils to have a minimum level of attendance of at least 97% and all schools are expected to aim for this target.
Every absence is rigorously challenged, with a phone call home to find out why a pupil is not in school. Attendance is analysed and fed back on via the reporting system. Permission from form teachers or heads of year must be sought for medical appointments, funerals, interviews, open days. The school policy on absence is:
Absence from school should be notified by telephone on the day of absence. In addition, on the day of return, an explanatory note must be handed to the Form Teacher or Tutor.
Permission for foreseeable absences, including holidays, should be requested in writing, from the Principal, well in advance.
Pupils needing exemption from games on medical grounds must produce a note from a doctor or parent.
Holidays should not be arranged in term-time. In exceptional circumstances, e.g. if it is the only means of having a family holiday in a given year, if the absence is related to a family member's serious ill health, or a bereavement, or other such circumstances such absences may be authorised but only by the Principal in writing. In all other circumstances unauthorised absence will be recorded.
Health /School Nurse
At St. Mary's we have an excellent relationship with the Liverpool NHS Trust School Nurse team and especially our allocated nurse Sharon Giblin. A highly qualified and experienced professional children's nurse, who keeps up to date with current health issues and has an important role in promoting the health and safety of your child.
The School Nurse is also available to offer help, advice and a listening ear to all our pupils and staff, and is available at a drop-in clinic for any pupil on Monday lunch times. She is contactable for advice at all times via phone and website. We have two medical rooms which are 'open' throughout the school day where the school secretaries (both qualified first aiders) will monitor a child who feels slightly unwell.

St. Mary's College - Promoting British Values
St. Mary's College is committed to serving its community. It recognises the multi-cultural, multi faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom. It also understands the vital role it has in ensuring that groups or individuals within the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.
It follows equal opportunities guidance which guarantees that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status, or similar. We are dedicated to preparing students for their adult life beyond the formal examined curriculum and ensuring that it promotes and reinforces British values to all its students. Actively promoting these values means challenging opinions or behaviours in school that are contrary to fundamental British values.
The Teachers' Standards expect teachers to uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, within and outside school. This includes not undermining fundamental British values. Our teachers ensure that key 'British Values' are taught in our school. The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy which clarifies how schools can demonstrate how they meet the requirements of the 2002 Education Act and latest guidance on the teaching of SMSC (November 2014). The five British Values are:
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Fighting Radicalisation and Extremism - Prevent at St. Mary's College
Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes. The Prevent strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes.
How does the Prevent strategy apply to schools?
From July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or gang violence. Importantly, we can provide a safe place for students to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.
What does this mean in practice?
Many of the things we already do in school to help children become positive, happy members of society also contribute to the Prevent strategy.
Exploring other cultures and religions and promoting diversity
We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can't access extremist and terrorist material, or by vetting visitors who come into school to work with students.
Different schools will carry out the Prevent duty in different ways, depending on the age of the children and the needs of the community.
Isn't my child too young to learn about extremism?
The Prevent strategy is not just about discussing extremism itself, which may not be appropriate for younger children. It is also about teaching children values such as tolerance and mutual respect.
The school will make sure any discussions are suitable for the age and maturity of the children involved.
Is extremism really a risk in our area?
Extremism can take many forms, including political, religious and misogynistic extremism. Some of these may be a bigger threat in our area than others.
We will give children the skills to protect them from any extremist views they may encounter, now or later in their lives.
Extremism – vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values such as democracy, the rule of law and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs
Ideology – a set of beliefs
Terrorism – a violent action against people or property, designed to create fear and advance a political, religious or ideological cause
Radicalisation – the process by which a person comes to support extremism and terrorism
Where to go for more information
Contact the school: If you have any questions or concerns about the Prevent strategy and what it means for your child, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
See our policy: You will find more details about radicalisation in our safeguarding policy, available on our website.

Advice on protecting your child from the risk of Radicalisation and Extremism
Educate Against Hate
The Educate Against Hate website was launched on 19 January 2016. The website offers practical advice to parents, teachers and school leaders on protecting children from extremism and radicalisation.
At St. Mary's College our community is based upon respect, good manners and fair play. We are committed to providing a safe and caring environment that is free from disruption, violence and any form of harassment so that every one of our pupils can develop his/her full potential. We expect our pupils to treat members of staff with courtesy and co-operation so that they can learn in a relaxed, but orderly, atmosphere. All pupils should care for and support each other. St. Mary's College prides itself on its respect and mutual tolerance. Parents/guardians have an important role in supporting the college in maintaining high standards of behaviour. It is essential that school and homes have consistent expectations of behaviour and that they co-operate closely together. Acceptance of this policy forms part of our standard terms and conditions. Our anti-bullying policy.
Safety on External Visits
We have An External Visits Coordinator (Mr Derek Williams) who ensure all college safety and safeguarding procedures will be followed whilst off-site. All trips from the school site are only run with permission form the SLT and only signed off when assessed by the EVC. Where extended school activities are provided by and managed by the school, our own Safeguarding policy and procedures apply. If other organisations provide services or activities on our site we will check that they have appropriate procedures in place, including safer recruitment procedures. When our pupils attend off-site activities, we will check that effective Safeguarding arrangements are in place.

Uberrimae Fidei – R.I.P
On 20 July 2016, the Supreme Court handed down its much awaited Judgment in Versloot Dredging v HDI Gerling Industrie Versicherung AG [2016], which has since been described by various insurance industry luminaires' as "a blow for honest customers" and an "emasculation of the Insurance Fraud Taskforce".
The case involved a claim made under a marine insurance policy following seawater damage to a ship's engine room. It was common ground that the loss was genuine, however the cause of the flooding was unclear. If the ship had been unseaworthy there would be no cover and therefore Insurers embarked upon in-depth investigations, which frustrated the Insured. In a deliberate attempt to resolve the claim expeditiously the Insured informed Insurers that the bilge alarm had sounded but was ignored, which gave support to the theory that the seawater had entered the ship through a faulty pump.
It was subsequently found that the statement confirming that the bilge alarm had sounded was untrue, albeit the theory as to how the seawater entered the ship was indeed correct.
At first instance, and in the Court of Appeal, it was held that the Insured's statement as to the bilge alarm sounding was a fraudulent device (namely, "information provided by an Insured which is dishonestly embellished, because the Insured was unaware of the strength of the claim or was of the view that it would speed up payment and reduce any hassle") and as a result the Claimant had forfeited the claim: the fraudulent claim rule applying equally to fraudulent devices.
However, the majority in the Supreme Court drew an important distinction between a claim which was fabricated or a genuine claim that was exaggerated and the use of fraudulent devices. In the former cases these amounted fraudulent claims, the consequences of which would be forfeiture of the claims, however in the latter case the claim was not fraudulent and therefore would be covered.
Lord Sumption described the term "fraudulent devices" as "an archaic term" and preferred to use "collateral lies", which he defined as a "lie that turns out when the facts are found to have no relevance to the Insured's right to recover" or alternatively "the lie is dishonest, but the claim is not".
In this case the lie as to the bilge alarm was irrelevant to the merits of the insurance claim and therefore the Supreme Court allowed the Claimant's appeal.
This Judgment essentially consigns fraudulent devices to legal history and importantly defines the term "fraudulent claim" in section 12 of the Insurance Act 2015, which comes into force on 12 August 2016.
It is also the "final nail in the coffin" to the concept of good faith in insurance contract. Lord Mance in his dissenting judgement reminded his brethren as to the basis of the insurance contract,
"The relationship of insured and insurer is a special one, in relation to which good faith or uberrimae fidei has long been fundamental … rightly because of the general imbalance in information and control and the significance of moral hazard in insurance relationships. Insurance fraud is common place, often regarded as a victimless crime in relation to which insurers are fair game. Of course, insurers do not always pay claims as speedily as would be desired, but that is not an excuse for fraud, and is something for which a separate remedy is under current legislative scrutiny."
Lord Mance was firmly of the view that the majority in the Supreme Court had wrongly conceptualised fraud and considered it from the perspective of hindsight,
"Abolishing the fraudulent devices rule means that claimants pursuing bad, exaggerated or questionable claims can tell lies with virtual impunity. The same logic governs fraudulent devices as it does fraudulent claims generally. It is, as Lord Hobhouse said, in The Sea Star "…simple. The fraudulent insured must not be allowed to think: if the fraud is successful, then I will gain; if it is unsuccessful, I will lose nothing"".
It seems that in considering the specific circumstances of the claim before them, the majority overlooked the increasing problem the insurance industry faces in relation to fraud (currently estimated at ~£1.32 billion by the ABI). Any dilution of the remedies available to Insurers will only increase that problem and at the same time "fly in the face" of Government policy, which demands that the insurance industry tackles fraud more aggressively.
This Judgment at best will have cost implications for Insurers whose investigations will have to go further than establishing an Insured is lying during the claims process but at worst provides an Insured with the ability to lie with impunity.
Interestingly Lord Mance concluded his Judgment as follows,
"In light of the majority judgment, Insurers will no doubt be advised about whatever may be the potential merits of making express in future whatever understanding they have, or action they may wish to take, regarding the effect of fraudulent devices, as and when such are discovered to have been used by an insured in the claims process".
This is a clear signal to Insurers and Underwriters that if they wish to maximise their protection against fraud then they will have to consider creating specific contractual obligations for an Insured following a loss and during the claims process.
Whilst Insurers and Underwriters will have already reviewed their policy wordings prior to the commencement of the Insurance Act 2015, it would seem prudent for them to reconsider their exposure to fraudulent claims and give consideration to specifically include within their wordings a term, to the effect that, the making of any false statement or declaration in support of a claim will result in the forfeiture of that claim.

After film school, Tuxen says, "it was hard to break into narrative. I only got one feature film in five years." So he started to shoot music videos for director Martin de Thurah and bands like Fever Ray and Röyksopp. As can be seen on his reel (lspagency.net/dp-folder/tuxen.html), these are some of the most gorgeous clips around, dreamy and painterly and with textures far away from standard-issue American music videos. Not surprisingly, Tuxen's other major work during this period was in the art world as a d.p. for 17 of Danish artist Jesper Just's pieces.
Tuxen, now based in New York, credits agent Rebecca Fayyad of Sheldon Prosnit Agency for bringing him to the States. "She called me and started the dream way earlier than I thought I could have it. It took me two years to believe her [that I could get work in the States]." The film that finally lured Tuxen here was Eric Mendelsohn's Sundance Dramatic Competition film, 3 Backyards, in which the d.p. visually reimagined the suburban ensemble drama. Wrote the Sundance programmers, "With its unconventional visual style, 3 Backyards looks and feels like a film from another time — possibly the past or the near future." Three more features quickly followed, including Mike Mills's follow-up to Thumbsucker, Beginners and M. Blash's second feature, The Wait.
Tuxen, who cites fellow d.p.s Harris Savides, Anthony Dod Mantle and Nestor Almendros as inspirations, says that he'll often start to think of still photography when first contemplating a scene. "I'll think, if we only had one setup for a scene, one shot, what would that photograph be? It might be a close-up, or you might shoot it from half a mile away. I also like to work with natural light. I'll watch how the light behaves in a room during the day, and then later remember it and maybe add a little more light on top." Although Tuxen has shot film for much of his music video and commercial work, his features have all been on HD video (mostly the RED), and that's okay. "The lightness of the camera, the possibility of long takes…." he muses. "I truly love handheld, and I like to operate and pull focus myself. I'll shoot a close-up with a 35mm lens so I'm as close to the actors as you would be in a conversation with a close friend." It's the ability to achieve that sense of intimacy that keeps Tuxen committed to independent film. "It's hard to have that intimacy with a big crew. [On larger films] the creativity has to be in preproduction. I like to respond to a scene when it's happening." — S.M.

Malaya Blue - Still
Written by Giovanni "Gio" Pilato
Published: November 24 2020
There were a lot of expectations from the European Music Press, about the brand new album from the British singer/songwriter Malaya Blue, an artist that had very much impressed our website with her second album Heartsick, released back in 2016.
During the last 4 years, the artist from Norwich has been non-stop touring the whole United Kingdom from North to South and making herself well-known also in many parts of Europe, thanks to her many artistic talents and the curiosity from old and new music fans that the 2016 album had sparkled.
For Blue's brand new record, called Still and recently released, the singer/songwriter has raised her game on many levels, by having, first and foremost, coupled on the song-writing for Blue's new album with Grammy Award Winner Dennis Walker, one of the most respected songwriters around, who has achieved world popularity throughout the years, besides his many collaborations with the elite of the music business, also by working with the one and only Robert Cray on albums like Strong Persuader and Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark.
Surrounded also by a group of first class studio musicians, the release of the Still album sees an artist that has grown up not only under a song-writing aspect but also and most impressively, as a singer, showing an outstanding vocal range, especially on tunes like I Can't Be Loved, Love Of Your Life and Why Is Peace So Hard?, among many others.
A record that shows also an exquisite attention in the quality of each of the songs included in the album's arrangements, Still is a body of work that entertains the listener track after track, through a splendid combination of deep, heartfelt and powerful vocal deliveries from the English artist, combined with lyrics that at time can be either very poignant (It's A Shame, I Can't Be Loved, These Four Walls) or full of confidence and swagger, like Malaya Blue so effortlessly shows, especially on tunes like Kiss My Troubles Away and the album closer, Hot Love.
Still is a new and exciting chapter, in the life and career of Malaya Blue, an artist that doesn't cease to amaze for her genuine passion for music, enormous talent and disarming, artistic honesty, all attributes that the British artist showcases in all that she does. Blue's new album, is, undoubtedly and by far, her personal masterpiece to date. Watch out for this very talented lady, Malaya Blue is here to stay for many more decades to come.
Still is out now and it is available at the Artist's Official Website

Suspect became obsessed with Christine Silawan, then killed her
By: Dale G. Israel, Nestle Semilla - @inquirerdotnet
Inquirer Visayas / 05:25 PM April 11, 2019
Police general Oscar Albayalde,(right) Philippine National Police, chief talks to Renato Payupan Llenes, suspect in the brutal killing of Christine Lee, 16, as he was presented in Police Regional Office in Central Visayas in Camp Sergio Osmeña Sr. Photo by WENCESLAO "JUNJIE" H. MENDOZA, JR.
CEBU CITY — It was a case of social media catfishing gone bloody wrong.
The police on Thursday presented the self-confessed perpetrator in the brutal killing of 16-year-old Christine Lee Silawan, detailing how the suspect ended the life of the teenager and peeling off her skin using a pair of scissors.
In social media jargon, catfishing is the use of other people's profile other than yours usually to lure someone into a relationship.
Renato "Ren-Ren" Payupan Llenes, 43, admitted to the crime, saying he duped Silawan into believing that he was a younger-looking guy she met on social media site Facebook.
He became obsessed with Silawan and later on killed the teenager when they met on March 9.
According to Director General Oscar Albayalde, Philippine National Police chief, Llenes is facing charges of illegal possession of firearms and gun ban violation after they seized a .45-caliber pistol in his possession when the police went to his house in Lapu-Lapu City on Tuesday.
Police would file murder charges for Silawan's death once all of the pieces of evidence were consolidated, said Albayalde in a press briefing at the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas in Camp Sergio Osmena.
Llenes appeared at the press briefing with lawyer Manuel Degolacion Jr. who was also present when the former executed an extrajudicial confession following his arrest on April 9.
In an interview, Llenes said he knew Silawan only on Facebook using a fake account "C.J. Diaz."
According to the police, it was Silawan who added Llenes' fake account.
The suspect courted the victim and what followed was a series of exchanges of romantic messages.
When they finally met on March 9 at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish church grounds, Llenes identified himself as CJ Diaz which shocked Silawan because he was nowhere near the pictures he posted on Facebook.
They later argued until they reached the vacant lot in Barangay Bangkal in Lapu-Lapu City where the victim was found dead.
"I stabbed her with a pair of scissors and peeled off her skin so she won't be recognized," said Llenes in Cebuano.
"I admitted everything. I was alone when I killed her," he added.
He also admitted that he was high on drugs and added that he got jealous of Silawan's boyfriend.
The police said Llenes learned how to peel off the skin of his victim through social media sites "Facebook, Youtube, and the Momo Challenge Video."
After peeling off Silawan's face, he took the victim's bag and brought with him the victim's peeled off skin which he threw a few meters from the crime scene.
"I would like to ask forgiveness from Silawan's family. My conscience is bothering me," said Llenes, who was detained at the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office.
Albayalde said he was pleased with the developments and those responsible for tracking down the suspect might receive a spot promotion.
Silawan's half-naked body was found on a vacant lot in Bangkal on March 11.
Half of her face was gone while her organs in the neck area were removed. She also suffered 30 stab wounds.
Five days later, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested Silawan's ex-boyfriend who reportedly had a hand in the crime.
The suspect denied the allegation.
The NBI, however, filed murder charges against the teenage suspect, who is under the custody of a home-care facility of Lapu-Lapu City's social welfare and development office.
In a separate interview, NBI-Central Visayas director Tomas Enrile said the case that the agency filed against Silawan's former boyfriend would go on despite the arrest of another suspect.
"The arrest of another suspect will not affect our case," he said, adding that it would be up to the prosecutor's office to decide based on the evidence they presented.
Enrile said they nonetheless welcomed the arrest of another suspect. "We have been sharing notes with the police so this is a positive development," Enrile said./lzb

Teen Births Hit All-Time Low
Choice News January 2, 2011 January 17, 2011 Choice News
The U.S. teen birth rate hit an all-time low in 2009 — a decline that stunned experts say is partly because of the economy. The birth rate for teenagers fell to 39 births per 1,000 girls, ages 15 through 19, according to a government report released Tuesday. It was a 6 percent decline from the previous year, and the lowest rate since health officials started tracking the data in 1940.
Some believe popular culture has played an important role. The issue of teen pregnancy got a lot of attention through Bristol Palin, the unmarried pregnant daughter of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Teen pregnancy is also cast in a harsh light by "Sixteen and Pregnant," a popular MTV reality show which first aired in 2009 and chronicles the difficulties teen moms face.
Also, health officials and advocates may deserve some credit. For decades, they and others have been emphasizing the hazards of teen pregnancy, including higher high school dropout rates among the mothers and higher odds for health and other problems for their children. The cumulative effect of public health campaigns may have played an important role in pushing down the teen birth rate.
We're still grateful for the teen-moms who have had the courage to raise some of us, but it's nice to know that more young girls are getting the chance to finish their education and are taking the time to consider parenthood.

Ebola mutated to become even deadlier during recent outbreak
Written by Orion Rodriguez
Design Technology Other Gadgets
Ebola is a terrifying disease, and a new analysis of the virus's genome has revealed some chilling information: during the 2013-2016 outbreak in West Africa, Ebola mutated to become even deadlier than before. According to two new papers in the journal Cell (published here and here), a series of mutations allowed the virus to more easily infect human cells. This particular strain, the research teams say, has never been seen before in humans or animals.
It's believed this new strain was able to develop due to the unusual nature of the recent outbreak. In the past, Ebola outbreaks have been fairly short-lived, making it difficult for the virus to mutate. However, this particular epidemic involved tens of thousands of new infections, allowing the virus to adapt better to its human hosts. Perhaps that's part of why it was so difficult to control – in the end, it infected a staggering 28,616 people across 10 countries, killing 11,310 of them.
Related: The first ebola victim might have been infected by bats
When it's not causing disease in humans, Ebola generally resides in an animal "reservoir" – what type of animal harbors the disease is unknown, but it's suspected to be fruit bats. This makes it difficult for the disease to develop human-specific adaptations. The West African Epidemic essentially allowed the virus refine its ability to infect us.
The two teams of researchers, hailing from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the University of Nottingham, both independently conducted their studies using publicly available Ebola gene sequences to track changes to the virus. The key change appears to be in the gene that encodes Ebola's glycoprotein, a protein that affects cell-to-cell interactions. This makes it easier to spread between humans and other primates.

It's unclear whether this new, more infectious Ebola virus still exists. Some people could possibly continue to harbor it in their bodies long after they recover from the infection. However, it's unlikely that it escaped back "into the wild," given that the new mutation makes it much harder for the virus to infect non-primate animals. Further research into this unique strain will give scientists more information on how to handle the virus in future outbreaks.

Ebola is a terrifying disease, and a new analysis of the virus's genome has revealed some chilling information: during the 2013-2016 outbreak in West Africa, it managed to mutate to become even deadlier than before.

Chieftains primed for another big year

BOLTON — Ken Tucker has spent more than 20 years — split between two stints — at the helm of the Nashoba Regional football team, and he knows the Chieftains' amazing 2011 campaign will be a tough act to follow.
Unbeaten for the first time in program history. Super Bowl champions. How do you top that?
For Tucker and the Chieftains, the answer is easy.
"We have to realize we're not last year's team. We need to know that we can't just show up and win without putting in the work," said Tucker, a recent inductee into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame. "I know I certainly appreciate being in the position of the being the hunted and we should enjoy it, but we can't be satisfied."
After storming through a 13-0 season, including a 27-0 thrashing of Holy Name in Central Mass. D2 Super Bowl, the Chieftains seem to be in pretty good shape with a solid core of returning players.
"We lost some good players, but a good part of this senior class has been contributing since they were sophomores," Tucker noted. "Guys like Zach Hume, John Ojukwu, Jack Sarnoski and Brady Schartner have all had roles on this team for at least a year and a half. We have senior leaders who will lead by example."
Hume, a linebacker, is expected to be the heart and soul of a Chieftains defense that returns six starters and eight contributors. Sarnoski will join Hume as a linebacker, while Schartner and Eli Williams return to the defensive backfield. Ethan Benjamin and Cam Rothfuss are back to their roles on the defensive line and Andrew Cross and Paul Louissaint each saw "an awful lot of time last year," according to Tucker.
"We're aiming to again have an aggressive defense," the coach said. "We've got a lot of kids who have been on the field for us. We had plenty of kids play in the second half last year and we're hoping that experience pays off."
While the offense doesn't have quite as many returning players, it has some experience in the skill areas. Sarnoski will be the quarterback, taking the reins after notching a pair of starts last season, and the senior will have several weapons around him as well as returning starters in Benjamin and Benjamin Nicholson on the offensive line.
Ojukwu is again in the backfield as an explosive threat and Schartner emerged last season as a dependable receiver. In a backup role last year, Cross added nearly 400 yards of rushing and Tucker expects Hume to step in as a fullback on occasion.
"Our offensive philosophy hasn't changed," Tucker said. "We want to have multiple looks and weapons. Teams have to defend the run and pass against us."
While the focus early in the preseason was on base sets and simply teaching, Tucker said schemes would become a bit more complex prior to the Chieftains hosting Wachusett Regional in Friday's season-opening game.
The coaching staff is "walking the fine line of doing too much or doing too little," Tucker said.
"We're just trying to keep focused and stay healthy," he said. "That's one of our goals: to make it out of the preseason without injuries. And we're trying to cover everything that we might see in the first week. It's always a challenge."

NXP is driving innovation with its expanded cellular infrastructure portfolio of GaN and silicon laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (Si-LDMOS) products that deliver industry leading performance in a compact footprint to enable next-generation 5G cellular networks.
Spectrum expansion, higher-order modulation, carrier aggregation, full-dimension beam forming and other enablers of 5G connectivity will require an expanded base of technologies to support enhanced mobile broadband connectivity, says NXP. With spectrum usage and network footprints, multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) technologies from four transmit (4TX) antennas to 64 TX and higher will be employed. The future of 5G networks will depend on GaN and Si-LDMOS technologies, NXP notes.
The breadth of the company's RF Power technologies—which include GaN, silicon-LDMOS, SiGe, and GaAs—allows product options for 5G that span frequency and power spectrums with varying levels of integration. This wide array of options, combined with the products that NXP builds for digital computing, and baseband processing, makes NXP a unique supplier of end-to-end 5G solutions.
5G is more than low-band front-end modules and switches. NXP has all RF technologies to fully address and enable 5G — from wireless infrastructure to mobile devices to the gallium nitride technologies to make them happen.
