Boko Haram is 'defeated,' Nigeria insists, blaming international jihadists for ongoing insurgency
Staff Writer July 31, 2019
Facebook Twitter Google+ Reddit WhatsApp Telegram Share via Email Print
Nigeria's presidency claimed Boko Haram's 10-year-old insurgency had been "defeated" but admitted that international jihadist groups posed a growing threat.
"The position of the Nigerian government is that the Boko Haram terrorism has been degraded and defeated. The real Boko Haram we know is defeated," the presidency said in a statement late Tuesday, July 30.
The country is now facing "a mixture of remnants of the Boko Haram, fugitive criminals and the Islam in Maghreb together with West African terrorists bonding together," Punch reported President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, as saying in a statement emailed to reporters.
"This is a fallout of the collapse of the Libyan State, and from farther away, of the Islamic State in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. They are taking advantage of our porous Sahelian borders," the statement said.
"As a consequence of these international gangs, we have seen an increase of trans-border crimes and the proliferation of small arms in the Lake Chad Basin area. Outrages are common in Niger, Mali, Chad and Cameroon," the statement said.
"In addition to our porous borders, in the neighboring Sahel-Sahara region, a lot of ungoverned areas provide haven for terrorists' occupation and training."
Buhari, a former general who vowed to crush Boko Haram when he became president in 2015 for his first term in office, has previously said the group was defeated.
The statement was released on the tenth anniversary of the death of Boko Haram founder Muhammad Yusuf in police custody.
Salafist cleric Yusuf, whose kunya was Abu Yusuf al-Barnawi, founded the group locally known as Boko Haram in 2002.
Confrontations with the Nigerian police and military grew as the group became increasingly radical, and they in turn adopted heavy-handed tactics, fueling escalations in the violence.
In July 2009, hundreds of Boko Haram members were killed in military operations aimed at suppressing the group.
Under new leader Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram began its infamous campaign of extreme violence in earnest, notably using to great but grisly effect its trademark suicide bomb attacks that other African Islamist militant groups avoided, and Shekau made connections with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
The violence has since spread into neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military response. More than 27,000 people have been killed and two million others displaced, sparking a dire humanitarian crisis in the region. The U.S. assesses that Boko Haram and ISWAP have been responsible for over 35,000 deaths since 2011.
Boko Haram split
Boko Haram split into two factions in mid-2016. One, led by long-time leader Abubakar Shekau, is notorious for suicide bombings and indiscriminate killings of civilians. Shekau pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in March 2015, but ISIS central only gives formal backing to the other faction, which it calls Islamic State West Africa Province.
The ISWAP faction, which largely focuses on attacking military and government targets, was led by Abu Mus'ab Al-Barnawi, but in March, audio recordings revealed that ISIS appointed Abu Abdullah Idris bin Umar, also known as Ibn Umar al-Barnawi, as leader. Despite releasing several videos featuring ISWAP since, ISIS has not yet made a public statement confirming the change.
Since May, Islamic State has attributed insurgent activities in the Mali-Burkina Faso-Niger tri-border area to its West Africa Province affiliate, rather than to what was previously known as Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. In a June 15 ISIS propaganda video, ISWAP militants purportedly in Nigeria, Mali and Burkina Faso were shown reaffirming their pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Baghdadi.
Over the weekend an attack by the Shekau-led Boko Haram faction killed 65 villagers close to the regional capital Maiduguri.
The Multinational Joint Task Force, which comprises personnel from Chad, Cameroon, Niger, and Nigeria, launched Operation Yancin Tafki on February 21 to battle the insurgents. It has said the cross-border operation is aimed at "making islands and other settlements in Lake Chad untenable for Boko Haram Terrorists." ISWAP is the dominant insurgent force in the Lake Chad area.
On Monday, ISWAP attacked an MNJTF position in the Baga area, killing a soldier and injuring five others. The regional force said it killed 10 insurgents.
But the presidency said it was looking to bolster its military capacity and expected the long-awaited delivery of A-29 Super Tucano turbo-prop aircraft from the United States "beginning next year."

Q: I want to loop through hashmap and call the method of object in it I have a hashmap with 2 objects, Parcel and Deliverer. Both have a getName function. I want to loop the hashmap and print there names like (Parcel.getName(), Deliverer.getName()).
for (Map.Entry<Parcel, Deliverer> entry : deliveryList.entrySet()) {
                for (Parcel key: entry) {
                    System.out.println("Package : " + key.getName());
                    for (Deliverer deliverer: entry) {
                        System.out.println("- Deliverer : " + deliverer.getName());
                        continue;
                    }
                }
            }

A: Not any different from @funkyjelly. An upvote :)
Same thing, just with Java8 collection foreach syntax.
deliveryList.entrySet().forEach( entry ->
           System.out.println("Package : " + entry.getKey().getName());
           System.out.println("Deliverer: " + entry.getValue().getName());
);

A: Another way can be using passing BiConsumer to forEach directly
deliveryList.forEach((key, value) -> System.out.println("Package: " + key.getName() + "- Deliver: " + value.getName()))

A: Once you have the map entries you'd only need to invoke getKey() to get Parcel and getValue() to get Deliverer for each entry.
Hence it should be like this :
for (Map.Entry<Parcel, Deliverer> entry : deliveryList.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println("Package : " + entry.getKey().getName() +
          "- Deliverer : " + entry.getValue().getName());
}

Home/General/Guardian.. an electronic application that contributes to the rescue of the kidnapped
Guardian.. an electronic application that contributes to the rescue of the kidnapped
Rajo Ka4 weeks ago
"Guardian" technology.. an electronic application that contributes to the rescue of the kidnapped Updated Sunday 1/1/2023 10:25 PM Abu Dhabi time An American software developer has succeeded in developing a new application that helps to reach missing or kidnapped people faster. Elizabeth Smart, an American programmer, developed the application that helps reach missing or kidnapped people, after she suffered from a kidnapping experience as a child before she was freed, according to CNET.com, a website that specializes in technology issues. Smart launched the Guardian app in the United States to help families locate any missing family members. When a person is discovered missing, the Guardian user sends an immediate alert to other users in the vicinity, which means that the process of searching for the missing person begins as soon as possible, which helps in speeding up access to him. "The faster a disappearance is reported, the greater the chances that it will be found quickly," says Smart. Under European pressure, Apple is preparing to provide alternative app stores on the iPhone and iPad, and confirms that the Guardian application is not intended to be a competitor to the missing persons reporting system, Amber Alert, which Smart began working with years ago after being rescued from kidnapping, but the Amber Alert system adheres to Specific criteria that must be met before a report of a disappearance can be sent. For example, the missing person must not be more than 17 years old, and there must be evidence that he is in danger, and law enforcement agencies must have sufficient information about the disappeared child in order to issue a report, and the child's name and personal information must be entered into the National Crime Information Center . A decision by Google for developers of Android applications regarding electronic payment, and this means that the Guardian application can also be used in emergency situations to search for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, in addition to suspected cases of kidnapping.

Q: Find next number in array from a input number For example I have this array:
const array = [5, 9, 12];

if input number is 3 it should return 5,
if input number is 5 it should return 9,
if input number is 6 it should return 9,
if input number is 12 it should return 0 or null or undefined
etc...
I tried using reduce method but with no luck, can't figure out a way.
This is what I got so far, but it will return closest number not closest higher :/
const number = arr.reduce((prev, curr) =>
      curr <= input && Math.abs(input - curr) < Math.abs(input - prev) ? curr : prev
    );

A: In your example, you start comparing from 1 index. MDN says:

Note: If initialValue is not provided, reduce() will execute the callback function starting at index 1, skipping the first index. If initialValue is provided, it will start at index 0.

And there is no need to check the distance(if i understood the task). You can write like this:
  const foo = (arr, input) => arr.reduce((prev, curr) =>
    prev <= input ? curr : prev
  );

Note: there is no check for the last number in the array

A: You can simply sort ( if not sorted initially if sorting is guaranteed you can neglect this step ) the values and use find to find any value greater then the passed input.

const array = [5, 9, 12];
const sorted = array.sort((a, b) => a - b)
const numChecker = num => sorted.find(v => v > num)

console.log(numChecker(3))
console.log(numChecker(6))
console.log(numChecker(9))

Protecting Louisiana from Running out of Tax Credits like in Ulrich v. Robinson
Posted on January 22, 2020 by acrayd1
by William H. Bell, Senior Associate
In 2007, the Louisiana Legislature, in an effort to increase the amount of solar energy produced within the state, implemented a tax credit for taxpayers who purchased residential solar panels.[1] Beginning in 2008, the solar tax credit gave Louisiana residents a tax credit of 50% of the purchase price on the purchase of residential solar panels, up to $25,000.[2] For example, if a Louisiana resident purchased a $20,000 solar panel system, the taxpayer would receive a $10,000 tax credit. In 2015, Louisiana Legislative Act 131 implemented a $10,000,000 cap on the amount of tax credits the state would issue for the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, with an effective date of June 19, 2015.[3] Just days before the tax credit cap became effective, Justin and Gwen Ulrich and Raymond and Pam Alleman (collectively "the Taxpayers") purchased and installed tax credit eligible solar electric systems with the expectation of receiving the tax credits.[4] In 2016, the Taxpayers filed their 2015 income tax returns seeking the tax credits.[5] Act 131's cap for the 2015 fiscal year had already been met by the time the Taxpayers filed their 2015 tax returns, so the Louisiana Department of Revenue denied the Taxpayers' tax credits.[6] The Taxpayers then sued the Louisiana Department of Revenue, claiming that Act 131 was unconstitutional because they had been deprived of vested property rights in the tax credits.[7] The Taxpayers litigated their lawsuit for nearly four years.[8] During that period, in 2017, the Louisiana Legislature enacted Act 413, giving the solar tax credit to any taxpayer who purchased solar panels between July 1, 2015, and January 1, 2016, in reliance on the tax credit but did not receive the tax credit because of the $10,000,000 cap.[9] Consequently, the Louisiana Supreme Court declared the Taxpayers' cause of action moot.[10] Although the Louisiana Legislature remedied the Taxpayers' harm before a final ruling on the Taxpayers' lawsuit, the Louisiana Department of Revenue and the Louisiana Legislature should implement reasonable measures that will prevent similar lawsuits from arising, thereby reducing the state's litigation costs.
II. The Taxpayers' Case Against Louisiana: Ulrich v. Robinson
Act 131's $10,000,000 cap on the solar tax credits for the 2015 fiscal year resulted in the Taxpayers not receiving the tax credits, even though the Taxpayers had installed the solar panels prior to the cap becoming effective.[11] The Taxpayers were unable to obtain the credits because the Louisiana Department of Revenue distributed the $10,000,000 in credits on a first-come, first-served basis.[12] The Taxpayers filed a class action lawsuit against the Louisiana Department of Revenue seeking a declaration that Act 131 was unconstitutional to the extent that it deprived the Taxpayers of their vested property rights in the credits on the grounds that the Taxpayers had purchased the solar panels prior to the effective date of Act 131 and in reliance that the tax credit would offset 50% of the solar panel's cost.[13] Following the enactment of Act 413, the trial court determined that Act 131 was unconstitutional for three reasons.[14] First, the Taxpayers had vested property rights to the tax credits.[15] Second, Act 131 was a substantial impairment on the contract between the state and the Taxpayers, the Taxpayers' contract for the solar panels, and the Taxpayers' financing of the solar panels contract. In regard to the second point, the trial court determined that there was no significant legitimate justification for Act 131 and that the Act's substantial impairment on the Taxpayers was neither reasonable nor appropriate.[16] Third, the trial court determined that Act 413 did not render the Taxpayers' controversy moot because the Taxpayers were not in the same position as prior to Act 131 because of the time value of money.[17] The Louisiana Department of Revenue then appealed the trial court's judgment directly to the Louisiana Supreme Court, claiming that the Taxpayers' controversy was moot.[18]
On review, the Louisiana Supreme Court determined that the Taxpayers' cause of action became moot because Act 413 gave the Taxpayers the amount of the tax credits they originally sought.[19] As a result, the Court did not review the constitutionality of Act 131.[20] The Court concluded that because the Taxpayers did not seek any additional damages other than receiving the tax credits, Act 413 made the Taxpayers whole by paying them the amount of the tax credits originally owed.[21] The Court also could not give the Taxpayers any additional damages arising from the original denial of the tax credits.[22] The Louisiana Supreme Court issued its opinion about two and a half years after the Louisiana Department of Revenue initially denied the tax credits. [23] In future instances where any type of tax credit is limited or eliminated, the Louisiana Department of Revenue and Louisiana Legislature can take several steps to prevent Louisiana from entering costly litigation.[24]
III. Justiciability of Future Controversies Like Ulrich
Despite the Louisiana Supreme Court declaring the Taxpayers' controversy moot, Louisiana had to devote costly resources to fight the Taxpayers' suit before and after the Taxpayers received their tax credits.[25] In similar tax credit issues that may arise in the future, the courts may determine that a justiciable controversy exists because future claimants may seek additional damages, such as reliance damages, in addition to the sought-after tax credits, even if, like in Ulrich, the tax credits are subsequently paid out. In this scenario, a court could hold Louisiana liable for additional damages that the Ulrich taxpayers did not seek, and Louisiana could incur litigation costs that could be easily prevented by taking remedial steps.
IV. A Method for Preventing Ulrich Situations in the Future
Louisiana offers a variety of tax credits to Louisiana residents, and the Louisiana Legislature can eliminate or limit those tax credits as it deems fit, such as the solar tax credits in 2015.[26] To avoid litigation similar to Ulrich in the future, the Louisiana Legislature and the Louisiana Department of Revenue should take the following remedial measures. First, the Louisiana Legislature should only limit or eliminate tax credits for future years. For example, the legislature could have avoided the Ulrich litigation if the $10,000,000 cap per year started in the following fiscal year, 2016, instead of the same fiscal year, 2015. The Louisiana Legislature followed this model in 2017 when it gave the Taxpayers, and others similarly situated as the Taxpayers, the amount of the solar tax credit, provided that the claimant had installed the eligible solar electric system before December 31, 2015.[27] Next, when limiting or creating a new tax credit with a total cap on the amount of tax credits, Louisiana should determine who receives the tax credits based on when each taxpayer takes all steps required by the Louisiana Department of Revenue to receive the tax credit, rather than when the taxpayer files a return.[28] For example, a taxpayer seeking a solar tax credit would submit the required paperwork to receive the tax credit during the tax year before installation, rather than with their tax return in the following year. The Louisiana Department of Revenue could track exactly how much of the tax credit cap has been extinguished at any time and keep taxpayers informed on when the tax credit is exhausted for the year. As a result, taxpayers could engage in tax-credit eligible activities, such as installing solar panels in 2015, with the assurance that when they file their subsequent tax returns they will receive the tax credit.
Any time Louisiana limits or eliminates a tax credit during the middle of a year, the potential for litigation similar to Ulrich exists. By implementing the above remedial measures, Louisiana could save future litigation costs and potential costly judgments in lawsuits brought by future plaintiffs who seek more damages than only the tax credits to which they believe they are entitled.

Sharks create history in Melbourne
Sun 9 Apr 2017, 10:45 PM
The Cronulla Sharks have claimed the first ever win for the Club at AAMI Park, defeating the Melbourne Storm 11-2 on Sunday.
Played in torrential rain, the match was a bizarre contest, fought out with big defensive plays and a lack of scoring opportunities.
Despite the not scoring any points, the Sharks were in control of the match during the first half, pressuring the Storm line continually.
The homeside held resolute though, not leaking any points and turning the Sharks side away at every chance.
With his side on the back foot, Cooper Cronk cam up with a crucial play, kicking a 40-20 and put his side in good field possession.
From here, the Storm would pressure the Sharks line and force the Sharks into producing a penalty.
Producing a trademark Melbourne play, Cronk floated the ball to a sweeping Billy Slater who was caught in a high shot from James Maloney. Cameron Smith would slot the penalty and the score would be 2-0 to the home side after 17 minutes.
The Sharks would continue to hold most of the field possession but just couldn't execute that final play and get on the scoreboard.
For the remainder of the first half both sides would struggle to hold onto possession, dropping enough ball to give both coaches a few extra grey hairs.
The score remained 2-0 at the break.
The rain really began to come down in the second half and both teams would again struggle to hold onto the ball.
Buoyed by a vocal home crowd, the Melbourne Storm would march onto the Sharks line and mount pressure on the visitors.
The first of two video referee decisions for potential Storm tries came in the form of a potential Suliasi Vunivalu try when they went high to the right wing.
The flying winger went high above his opposite number in Sosaia Feki however was ruled to have lost the ball when he hit the ground.
The Storm would again go upstairs, when another potential Vunivalu try was to be looked at.
This time in midfield, the Storm winger flew high above a group of Sharks players however was not able to hold onto the ball in the driving rain, putting the catch down and handing possession back to the Sharks.
From here, the Sharks began to crawl back into the match producing defence that is now a trademark of this great side.
Jack Bird produced one of the best defensive efforts of his young career, keeping the Storm's left-edge at bay all day.
The Sharks' opportunity would come in the form of a penalty after the Storm were said to have once again been too slow to get up off the tackle. James Maloney would point to the sticks and convert the penalty from in front.
The scores were all tied up and we had a game on our hands.
With both sides trading sets of six, the Sharks slowly grinded their way up field and with 10 minutes left in the game, James Maloney opted for a field goal and was successful.
The score was 3-2 to the Sharks and the result looked like resembling that of a soccer match.
Well aware of the Storm's class, the Sharks knew that the final 10 minutes would need a continued defensive effort and potentially more points.
Working their way deep into Storm territory, crafty grubber out of dummy half from James Segeyaro saw the livewire rake chase his own kick through and ground the ball.
The try went to the video referee and Segeyaro would be awarded his first try in Sharks colours. Maloney made no mistake with the kick and we were ahead 9-2.
From here, the Sharks iced the clock, holding the Storm out and keeping them from scoring a try for the first time in the history of their Club.
The Sharks would be awarded a penalty right on full-time and Maloney would again make no mistake with the kick and the Sharks would be victorious 11 points to 2.
Cronulla Sharks 11 def. Melbourne Storm 2
Tries: Segeyaro, Goals: Maloney 3 (2 pen, 1 field goal, 1 conversion)

If you have sugar cravings you will know how hard it is to resist the overwhelming temptation to indulge them . These sugar cravings can be caused by unstable blood sugar and chromium deficiency so addressing these can really help. Sugar cravings can be very powerful and addictive so here we explore ways to kick the sugar craving habit.
Sugar cravings and increased consumption has been linked to many conditions and a few are listed below. Statistically the number of both children and adults with these conditions has risen significantly over the last two decades.
Adult acne due to insulin spikes.
Digestive imbalances that can trigger fungal overgrowth and higher amounts of harmful pathogenic bacteria to dominate the intestines.
Anxiety & restlessness, which both children and adults may experience.
The cane sugar we all commonly know as sugar has a chemical name called sucrose and is made up of glucose and fructose. Neither of which contain any nutrients and actually rob the body of important minerals such as chromium and zinc. The loss of vital nutrients weakens the body's immune defences.
The use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is widespread and inexpensive to manufacture. It is found in many products particularly packaged desserts such as yogurts, ice cream and waffles to name but a few. It is also prevalent in sodas and fruit juices. Agave or agave syrup also contains higher amounts of fructose than HFCS. Research shows that fructose is metabolised in the liver and can cause fat storage in the liver, increase cardiovascular risk, fatty liver disease, hypertension, and metabolic dysfunction and these eventually lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The fructose naturally present in fruits is fine to consume in conjunction with a diet focused on vegetables and wholegrain carbohydrates. However those with type 2 diabetes should still reduce fruit and dried fruit consumption.
Keep consumption of sodas, fruit juices, and pre-packaged desserts to a minimum. You can replace some of the sugar in your diet with the healthier substitutes below which will help to reduce sugar cravings.
Stevia is herbal sweetener and at least 200 times sweetener than sugar and the sweeter components are derived from the leaf of the plant. Natives in Paraguay, South America, have used Stevia for centuries and it has also been widely used and cultivated by Japan. In 1991 stevia was banned in the USA due to inadequate information to demonstrate its safety. However the ban has lifted now and soft drink manufactures are also beginning to jump on the stevia bandwagon. The thousands of clinical studies that have been conducted on stevia all conclude it is safe for human consumption and suitable for type 2 diabetics. It will not make sugar cravings worse or deplete chromium.
Manuka honey is from a specific species of plant in New Zealand. This type of honey has antibacterial and healing properties. It can be useful to ward off colds and is also useful for those with stomach ulcers and infections. It is safe for children from 1 year upwards. It is still a sugar so will not reduce sugar cravings but it is a healthier choice.
So what will stop sugar cravings?
The good news is that by stabilizing blood sugar you will suffer from less sugar cravings.
4. Consider taking a Chromium supplement which works on insulin function and has been shown to reduce serum glucose and is really effective at reducing sugar cravings, but not at the same time as Vitamin C as it interferes with the uptake of Chromium.
5. Cinnamon along with Chromium have been successful for weight loss as they both work on insulin function so also affect sugar cravings positively.
6. Take B vitamins which support your adrenal glands during periods of stress.
These supplements and the advice above will substantially reduce sugar cravings and even help you drop a few pounds too.

An initial 12 refurbished rooms are now open to guests – now named Golf Kings and Garden Kings – with others to be completed in coming months.
Hyatt Regency Coolum General Manager Maurice Holland said the new King Rooms were a fitting advance for one of Australia's favourite resorts.
"A new generation of guests is embracing Hyatt Regency Coolum and we're investing heavily to ensure the resort continues to be relevant and stylish," Mr Holland said.
Hyatt Regency Coolum's two-bedroom Golf Villas and Lakefront Villas were refurbished late last year to offer a stylish modern décor. The upgrade followed a $4 million refurbishment of The Spa during the previous year, creating a new look and expanded facilities for the largest facility of its type in the southern hemisphere.
New Golf/Garden King Rooms are available from $290 per night including breakfast.

Honest People
by J.R. Blackwell | Jul 14, 2008 | Story |
Author : J.R. Blackwell, Staff Writer
Joseph's Grandfather knocked down the cabin door, and stood silhouetted in the blue morning light of Io. Inside, Joseph and Thomas and Betti and Lil lay sprawled over the king sized bed, naked. The room smelled like sex and sweet wine.
Joseph sat up in bed and Thomas squealed, pulling the covers off of Bettie and Lil to cover his naked body. Lil rolled out of bed and Betti rolled over, unaffected by the sudden noise.
"Granddad!" cried Joseph.
"Joseph Hieronymus Gabriel Nightingale Dashhound!" cried his Grandfather. "This is just as I suspected." Josephs Grandfather, Bartholomew Rubin Sora Flashrim Dashhound, was tall and imposing, a man with a beard to his shoulders and a wide brimmed hat.
Around the corner of the door came Lil's mother, wielding a laser rifle. "Lil!" she said, "I'm so ashamed of you. I didn't want to believe that you and your husband were sleeping around, but here it is." She shook her head, her brown curls bouncing. "Just wait till your father hears about this. You have shamed our family. "
"Keep your head on Gretel," said Bartholomew.
"What are you doing here, mom?" said Lil, standing, full naked and defiant in front of the two elders.
"Bartholomew told me that he saw you and Thomas coming up to the cabin night after night, and I didn't believe him . . .I told him it was innocent." She sobbed, her rifle shaking. "But now I feel so blind! So foolish!"
"We can do as we like," said Lil, standing tall, her hands on her wide hips.
"Young woman, this is not Earth. This is the Dark Side of Io. I moved away from the cesspit Earth so that my family could live in a community with moral standards," said Bartholomew. "You cannot just go fooling' around here. Not after how hard we worked to make Io a moral place."
Joseph finally found his voice. "What are you saying, Grandpa?"
"I'm saying that you aught to make an honest woman and man and woman out of these people!"
"But Grandpa!"
"I mean it!" said Bartholomew "I've already sent for the Pastor. She's on her way up here to make it official."
"But Mom!" said Lil "It didn't mean anything. It was just for fun."
"This was the first, time, I swear!" squealed Thomas, clutching the sheets. Betti had finally woken up and was clinging to Thomas's waist, eyes on Gretel's laser pistol.
"Don't listen to them, Gretel," said Bartholomew. "We've got to be strong. I know they've been at this for a while. I've seen them coming up here, night after night, with wine."
"Wine doesn't prove anything," said Thomas.
"You think I need proof after seeing this?" said Gretel.
"I'm not ready to have a husband and second wife," said Joseph. "I'm too young!"
"If you're going to fool around like this then you aren't too young," said Bartholomew.
"You can't force us to marry," said Lil, crossing her arms over her considerable chest.
"Oh can't I?" said Gretel, flicking a switch to power up the laser pistol "I think you'll be getting married today, you all like it or not."
"You're going to need a bigger cabin Joseph," said Thomas.

Inflammation is a risk factor for cancer development in several tissues. In the colorectum, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) is a longstanding inflammatory disease with increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). Several molecular events involving in chronic inflammatory process contribute to multi-stage carcinogenesis of CRC in the inflamed colon. They include alterations in production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory enzymes, and intestinal immune system. In this short review, experimental animal models of inflammation-associated CRC are described. Also, some preclinical data on chemoprevention of inflammation-associated CRC by astaxanthin and a specific inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase using these inflammation- related -CRC models is briefly introduced.

Opinion: What Bighorn Country means for recreation opportunity
The Bighorn proposal is not perfect but it gets the principles right, say two board members of the Alberta chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.	Postmedia
Alberta's public lands provide the opportunity for recreation, forestry, livestock grazing and industrial development. These lands are tied to our lifestyle and prosperity. As hunters and anglers, we value our public lands for their diverse recreational and conservation opportunities.
Striking the balance between recreation, industry and environmental protection on multi-user landscapes is a legitimate challenge. However, we make it even more challenging than it needs to be.
The Bighorn Country proposal is in the news yet again following recent public information sessions. For much of the consultation period, inflamed partisan rhetoric has dominated dialogue about Bighorn Country, leaving the impression that Albertans are deeply divided over this issue. In fact, a recent scientific poll suggests that most Albertans like the general principles of the proposal.
This should not be surprising, given that many of the underlying tenets of the Bighorn proposal were initiated many years ago under the Eastern Slopes Policy and more recently, consultations and advice on development of the North Saskatchewan Regional Plan, which was based on extensive public consultations with numerous stakeholders. The Wildland designation process for the area was initiated by past Conservative governments, recreationists, local businesses and conservation groups, as early as 1986, and is now advocated by the NDP. The current proposal is neither being rushed nor rammed through — it is one of the final steps in decades of work by previous governments and many stakeholder groups.
Although much rhetoric has been made about the proposal taking away opportunity from industry and recreationists, a read of the proposal shows that the Bighorn Country proposal maintains opportunity for all outdoor recreationists and industry. Careful planning and consultation by multiple provincial governments and multi-stakeholder groups over a period of decades have identified appropriate uses throughout the region. This proposal is formalizing those decisions to allow for clear rules around the protection of fish and wildlife habitat, recreation opportunity, and managing increasing use in an area that will undoubtedly face more pressure in the near future.
Bighorn Country, especially the area of the proposed West Country Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ), is affected by habitat fragmentation and motorized access that is detrimental to populations of native fish and wildlife. In this area and to the west, in the picturesque Bighorn backcountry, high recreation use in certain areas has created problems with random motorized camping, trash and human waste.
Maintaining wilderness values and ecological integrity doesn't mean zero motorized or industrial use. It means that such use needs to be carefully considered and potential adverse effects appropriately mitigated. For motorized recreationists, designation of the West Country PLUZ will allow volunteer groups to have certainty that the money and hours they graciously donate to the construction and reclamation of safe and ecologically sustainable designated trails will not go to waste. The PLUZ designation will allow for high-quality trails to be protected through planning, and abuses to be identified and prevented through enforcement.
Like many others, we venture to the Bighorn to fish for native trout, hike, camp, ride horses, drive designated trails and hunt big game and upland birds in the fall. For all recreationists who cherish the solitude of the wilds, the experience we seek in the backcountry depends on the conservation of wilderness areas and large areas of effective and functional fish and wildlife habitat. Designating Bighorn Country is the right step to ensure backcountry adventure and conservation of fish and wildlife habitat.
We don't think the Bighorn Country proposal is perfect, but it gets the big things right. There is still an opportunity for us to have our say about what we like and what we would like to see done differently. With the Feb. 15 deadline for public consultation fast approaching, it is time for those with a stake in the Bighorn to promote a conservation process which started decades ago and provide constructive feedback on the Bighorn Country proposal. Ensure that the provincial government planners have the tools they need to refine the proposal to reflect the long-term goals of Albertans. Make your voice heard.
Andrew Baisley and Cornel Yarmoloy are both avid outdoorsmen and board members for the Alberta chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.

Dear Fr. Joe: I'm really in a funk and I can't shake it. At college, I find that I really don't have good friends and I'm struggling in my prayer life … everyone around me seems to be happy but me. What can I do?
I'm so sorry that things are like this right now. Life is a challenge most days; at times, these struggles can threaten to overwhelm us. I'm glad you asked for help and pray that God guides my words.
Recently, I went through an exceptionally difficult time in my life and was really struggling. A lot of things crashed in on me and I felt lost and scared.
One day, in my prayer, I encountered Psalm 77. I had read it a lot in the past, but, on this day, it hit me really hard. In it, I found a process to deal with my grief: a kind of roadmap that changed me fundamentally.
The psalm starts off with the author crying out to God: He pours out his heart and his troubles, and wonders if God has abandoned him. He is honest and straightforward in describing his feelings and thoughts.
I think this is the first step. Sometimes, we forget that God knows what we are feeling and thinking. There is no value or sense in trying to hide it from God, or even feeling bad about how you feel. Simply pour it out to God: Tell him what's in your heart. When you do this, you are not telling God something he doesn't know – you are giving him permission to go in and begin the work of healing.
Now that you've called out to the Lord and poured out your heart, the next step is to think through what God has done already, both for you and for the whole world.
Think of the times in the past when you really didn't know how you were going to get through yet, here you are. How did God do that? What has he saved you from already?
After looking at how God has worked in your life, look at how he has worked in the world. Creation alone can give us an amazing sense of God: how he ordered all of the world to work together in unity, the beauty of creation – it's amazing to think of. I then tend to go to the crucifix or the Blessed Sacrament. I look at how deeply God loves me and used absolutely soul-crushing brutality to bring the world back to him. I ponder the kind of love that compelled our God to intervene on our behalf and I'm moved.
In this, we begin to find healing, as we realize that this awesome, powerful God also is a personal, individual God who not only sees and knows your pain, he has the power to bring you through it – even to find victory in it.
I tell you now, in this moment, that I thank God for those struggles. I can't believe I'm typing this, but it's true. God took the most painful moments in my life and transformed them into something so beautiful I know I could never create it.
In the end, this causes me to praise him, to thank him for his goodness and love and power, which all work together to draw me closer to him. No matter what you feel, no matter what your circumstances, recalling what God has done and praising him for it brings your heart to a better place.
Beyond this, there are some practical things you can do that may help. I would suggest that, if you are in college, you immerse yourself in the campus ministry available to you, if there is one. I worked at a university for a few years and found it amazing how often the students formed lifelong, life-giving friendships. When you surround yourself with people who choose God first, you'll find a lot of comfort and joy.
Remember, whatever your circumstances, whatever you feel, wherever you are and whatever you believe God loves you with an all powerful and soul-saving love. No one can take that from you.

This Artist Took His Childhood Doodles And Recreated Them In Spectacular Fashion. It's Pretty Trippy.
Children are like very small adults with over-active imaginations and under-developed motor skills, so it's not uncommon to find them scribbling out their ideas on construction paper. Most of the time, what kids want to draw never ends up looking like what is actually drawn… OR DOES IT? Most adults assume that the messy images that end up on the paper aren't what kids meant to draw. Dutch artist Telmo Pieper proved that sometimes childish doodles look more like finalized (and terrifying) works than we might originally think. He revisited some of the drawings he made as a child and "finished" them with his adult skills. The final result is borderline nightmarish.
Originally, Telmo drew these years ago.
But as an adult and professional muralist, Telmo finished the images.
The sketches proved to be trippy, nightmarish examples of what a child can draw.
Maybe we can attribute these images to his poor motor skills as a kid.
Or maybe his mind was just able to come up with images like this naturally.

197. VAMPYR (1932)
April 8, 2015 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies)	1 Comment
Vampyr – Der Traum des Allan Grey; Castle of Doom (alternate English version)
"I just wanted to make a film different from all other films. I wanted, if you will, to break new ground for the cinema. That is all. And do you think this intention has succeeded? Yes, I have broken new ground."–Carl Theodore Dreyer on Vampyr
DIRECTED BY: Carl Theodor Dreyer
FEATURING: Julian West, Jan Hieronimko, Rena Mandel, Sybille Schmitz
PLOT: Allen Gray, a student of the occult, wanders to the small hamlet of Courtempierre. There, he witnesses ghostly visions and meets an old man who is soon killed by an assassin's bullet. The man's sickly daughter lies in bed, her blood drained by a vampire, and Gray takes it upon himself to find the source of the contagion.
The story was inspired by tales from Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 Gothic short story collection "In a Glass Darkly," the most important of which is "Carmilla" (a vampire tale with lesbian undertones).
Vampyr was produced in three versions: one with the cast speaking English, one in French, and one in German. Complete prints of the English and French versions no longer exist, although parts were used in restoring the German version. Some say the English version was never completed. Filming the same script in multiple languages was a trend at the time—see also the Spanish-language version of Dracula—although this practice was soon abandoned as too costly.
Star "Julian West" is actually Baron Nicolas de Gunzburg, who funded the production in exchange for the leading role. Gunzburg used a pseudonym to avoid the embarrassment that would result from having an actor in his Russian expatriate noble family.
Vampyr was shot through a layer of gauze positioned in front of the camera to create the soft, dreamlike visuals.
The film was booed at its premiere in Berlin, and in Vienna crowds rioted, demanding their money back. Vampyr lost money and at the time was seen as an embarrassment in its distinguished director's career, although now it is regarded with near universal acclaim.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: The translucent astral body of our protagonist, peering down at his doppelganger as it lies in a coffin.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: A nearly irrational, mood-based horror gem with imagery that verges on the surreal, Vampyr is a grim and restless death parable made in the brief age when the melodramatic structures of silent films were slowly being fleshed out with the new colors and textures afforded by sound. This experiment in terror by a master filmmaker, made in a unique period that cannot be recreated, is an artifact of its time that paradoxically seems all the more universal because of the age-bound specificity of its style.
Clip from Vampyr (1932)
COMMENTS: "It was an eerie moonlit night. Lights and shadows, voices and faces seemed to take on hidden meaning," informs one of Vampyr's early intertitles. It gives us a brief inventory of Vampyr's major tricks and totems: shadows, and hidden meanings. From the first glimpse of a mysterious peasant bearing a scythe to the rotating skull on the doctor's shelf, Vampyr is full of portentous images that exert a dreamlike fascination. Like the most troubled dreams, Vampyr does not yield its hidden meanings easily; they are indirect, uneasy, and fearsome.
Vampyr's cinematography is famous for its use of soft focus, created by filming through a piece of gauze held three feet in front of the camera. But, for a movie that presumably takes place over a single endless night, it is just as notable for the unexpected brilliance of the moonlit mise en scene. Vampyr's bright, blurry eternal midnight is illuminated by what must be a historic full moon, a never-seen but ever-present celestial lamp that casts momentous shadows everywhere. The landscape glows. It is as if day and night have been reversed, a perfect metaphor for the backwards world of Vampyr, whose theme is the inversion of life and death, light and dark. The old man who visits Allen Gray in his locked room as he sleeps, starting off his long night of terror, glows like a ghost, and one of his first intrusive acts is to raise the window shade and let light stream into the room. The blinding moonlight is necessary to cast the enormous shadows Gray spies in the nearby ruins: a gravedigger, a rifleman, an entire party of revelers and musicians. The camera, as it twirls, is careful to never reveal the corporeal substance behind these shadows, except for one scene where, through careful use of camera angles, a soldier and his shadow seem to move independently of each other. It is significant that our protagonist is "Gray," a transitional name; for he is trapped in an eternal night that refuses to recede into blackness, like the vampire who inhabits the interstice between life and death.
As Vampyr lives halfway between life and death, light and shadow, it is also halfway between a silent movie and a talkie. Originally conceived of as a silent, it was converted into a sound production as the project advanced into the Thirties. Many of the old silent habits remained, most notably in the use of decorative intertitles to supply exposition in the place of dialogue or narration. The sound was all recorded separately on a soundstage after the filming wrapped, with actors dubbing in the dialogue (in three different languages) and human foley artists providing all the sounds (including squawking parrots). As in silent films, the musical accompaniment is key for establishing the mood: in this case, an eerie, grossly Romantic classical score by Wolfgang Zeller (sadly not available for purchase today). Characters seldom speak; they are accustomed to the still, quiet rhythms of the silent world. As in other transitional talkies like White Zombie, the spare soundscape makes the noises we do hear—the tapping on a window, the crack of a rifle—leap out of the background like a shadow thrown on the wall. As opposed to the constant babble of contemporary films, these people only speak when they have something to say, which makes us pay more attention to them. Every precious word is spoken with deliberation and is imbued with significance and meaning. The lack of dialogue also mimics the language of dreams, where words are subordinate to images, and silence is only broken when absolutely necessary.
All of this spareness—the long quiet spaces, the ghostly shadows on a rustic moonlit nights—fleshes out an abstract skeleton of a narrative. The vampire story takes a while to get started; it is subject to preliminary hallucinations which are more significant than the surface plot. We see unexplained flashes of images: the shadow of the country ferryman bearing his scythe, a cross between Charon and the Grim Reaper; the silhouette of a cherubic weather vane outlined against the glowing night sky. As in a dream, nothing here happens if it does not absolutely need to; no time is wasted on plausibility, on establishing logical connections between things. An old man comes to Gray in his locked room, for no reason except to set the story in motion. When Gray worms his way into the chateau, the family immediately accepts this wanderer as a fellow traveler, without a word of introduction. And why not? Gray proves immediately willing to donate his own blood to the sickly daughter, a stranger to him. Gray's character is blank, almost undefined; mostly an observer, drawn along from scene to scene as an unwilling witness to the secret horrors of Courtempierre. He exists in the passivity of a nightmare, stripped of agency, unable to effect the events around him. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the movie's most famous sequence, when Gray dreams of his own burial; paralyzed, he sees himself borne to the graveyard, his dead eyes watching the proceedings through a glass panel in the coffin lid thoughtfully supplied by the undertaker for his convenience.
We know little about Gray except what we are told in the introduction: he is a student of the occult and "a dreamer for whom the line between the real and the supernatural became blurred." Watching Vampyr, his fate becomes ours. The movie traps us in a gray limbo, the netherworld of the vampire. What film better sinks us into the mysteries of death than Vampyr?
"Dread and obsession are the film's substance, and its mood is evocative, dreamy, spectral."–Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
"Vampyr is uncanny not because of its subject matter, but because of its utter strangeness as film."–J. Hoberman, The Village Voice (DVD)
"…fleshes out the barest bones of vampirological convention with all manner of uncanny oddities and in-camera trompe l'oeil more at home in the surrealist experiments of Dalí, Bunuel and Cocteau than in the pages of Victoriana… a triumph of the irrational, Dreyer's eerie memento mori never allows either protagonist or viewer fully to wake up from its surreal nightmare."–Anton Bitel, Film 4

Vampyr's Ghosts and Demons – The Criterion Collection – A very thorough background of the film by Mark Le Fanu, including hints of a possible autobiographical interpretation
Vampyr at Internet Archive – Available in two versions. The linked version is complete, unrestored German edition (with no subtitles); also available is a shortened cut titled Castle of Doom, with English-language narration, which played the American market. Both prints are very poor.

DVD INFO: For many years, Vampyr was only available in incomplete, poor quality public domain prints, including a 60-minute alternate cut with English-language narration that went under the title Castle of Doom. All of that changed in 2008 with the Criterion Collection's luminous 2-disc release of the 1998 restored version (buy ), which is now the only edition worth considering (at least in North America). Extra features include commentary from film scholar Tony Rayns, a 30 minute documentary from 1966 featuring Dreyer speaking about his films, more interviews with the director (both audio and audiovisual), and a short piece on he film's visual influences. The set also comes with Criterion's traditional booklet of essays, and first-edition copies even included Sheridan Le Fanu's complete short story "Carmilla."
As mentioned above, inferior public domain prints of Vampyr can be downloaded from the Internet Archive for free.
UPDATE: In October 2017 the Criterion Collection upgraded this feature to Blu-ray (buy ).

Davido Ahead Of Wizkid Again: See The Gap Between Their Positions On Instagram Rich List
By Lahwahlt (self media writer) | 2 years ago
The competition or comparison between both music stars, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, professionally known as Wizkid and David Adeleke, better known as Davido is not ending anytime soon. Even if this ends between them, their fan bases won't stop having conversations about it and fighting each other over whom ones the crown between their favourite artists.
In many ways and different occasions, Davido has always been coming before Wizkid. For instance, Davido's followers on Instagram and Twitter are far more huge than those of Wizkid's and Davido even has the most viewed video on YouTube in sub-saharan Africa.
A list of top 15 African artists, based on global views was released and the only Nigerian artists who made the list are Burna Boy and Davido. Wizkid was nowhere to be found.
And now, Davido is leading the Star Boy again! The list of Instagram top earners is out and the gap between the 'If' crooner and the 'Ojuelegba' singer is overwhelming.
Topping the list are The Rock, Kylie Jenner, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nigeria's very own, Davido landed in the 47th position to become the second most paid celebrity in Africa with only Mo Salah ahead of him, the Egyptian footballer, who landed in the 34th position.
Wizkid's number on the list is 67 which means the difference between their positions on the list is 20. The gap between him and Davido is quite huge. And to my surprise, Tiwa Savage, Funke Akindele and Yemi Alade were placed above him. Take a look at some screenshots below.

Hong Kong: Bird flu expert to lead push for first vets' school
Via The Standard: Bird flu expert to lead push for first vets' school. Excerpt:
City University has hired a senior government official who was closely involved with outbreaks of bird flu to head a team that is planning the territory's first veterinary medicine school.
Veterinarian and epidemiologist Howard Wong Kai-hay left his post as principal veterinary officer after 16 years at the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department early last month to become executive director of CityU life sciences programs.
Wong also helped draft food safety laws that came into effect last year when he was seconded to the Food and Health Bureau.
He said his job at CityU is to establish a vets' school that will find "a synergy or a focal point" for its existing life sciences programs, such as biology, bioengineering and biotechnology. "We are not just looking at a vets' school in isolation of everything else.
"There is a lot of collaboration that could be done even with public health, for example, with other universities."
Wong, who earned his veterinary medicine degree at Cambridge University and master's degree in preventive veterinary medicine at the University of California, said CityU will build a small-animal hospital on campus.
He said the university expects to launch the six-year veterinary medicine course in 2014-15, with 30 students.
"There is no vet training of any sort in Hong Kong so we hope to develop these specialists in food safety and public health so they can raise the standard in the whole region and fill in gaps," Wong said yesterday. "The unique thing is we are doing it with Cornell University [in New York], the No1 vets' school and the oldest in the United States so the partnership with Cornell is fantastic." Cornell will help develop the curriculum and facilities.
About 200 Hong Kong students go overseas each year to study veterinary medicine.
Out of 600 registered vets, only 330 are practicing vets in the territory, 30 of whom work in the government and the remainder in the private sector.

Um sistema operacional do tipo Unix (Unix-like em inglês) referido também como UN*X ou *nix é um sistema similar ao Unix, não estando necessariamente de acordo com o Single UNIX Specification.

Este termo pode incluir os sistemas operativos de software livre/open source inspirado pelo Unix da Bell Labs ou que suporta as suas características. Não existe nenhum documento que defina as regras de um sistemas Unix-like, ao contrário do Unix que é definido pelo Single UNIX Specification.

Definição
The Open Group possui a marca registrada do UNIX e administra a Single UNIX Specification, sendo o nome "UNIX" uma certificação de produto. O Open Group não aprova a utilização do verbete "Unix-like", e considera uma utilização incorreta de sua marca patenteada, visto que "UNIX" em suas melhores práticas precisa ser escrito em caixa alta distinguindo-se do texto ao seu redor, e não para denotar um termo genérico para "sistema" através de palavras que contém hífen.

Outros tratam o termo "Unix" como uma marca genérica, adicionando o curinga asterisco,  gerando as abreviações Un*x ou *nix, visto que Sistemas do tipo Unix possuem nomes como AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Minix, Ultrix e Xenix. Estes padrões podem não fechar de forma literal com o nome dos sistemas, mas estes sistemas são reconhecidos como descendentes Unix ou Sistemas Operacionais do tipo Unix, mesmo aqueles com nomes não-similares como o Solaris ou o FreeBSD.

Em 2007, Wayne R. Gray entrou em disputa legal pelo termo UNIX como sua marca registrada porém perdeu o caso, e na apelação perdeu novamente.

E ainda em 2007, O Open Group entrou em um acordo legal para que a Universidade de Kassel na Alemanha não utilizasse "UNIK" como sua abreviação.

Muslim Visibility Exhibit Coming To Cleary
An exhibit that explores the culture of the Muslim population in southeast Michigan is coming to Cleary University later this month.
The Halal Metropolis exhibition series examines Muslim visibility throughout the region outside of the religious lens, and through the lens of art, culture, fashion, music, and sport. It will additionally look at Muslim contributions in economic development, business, and entrepreneurship. The exhibit will be at the Arthur Secunda Museum at Cleary University beginning next Friday, and running through December 20th.
This is the third stop out 6 for the exhibit, which was previously shown in Detroit and Hamtramck. Project Manager Razi Jafri said it is important for them to make stops in all different types of communities across the state. With previous stops in Detroit and Hamtramck, they wanted to go somewhere familiar to the Muslim community. But Jafri said they also want to go to places more unfamiliar, like Livingston County, where he says that he often finds the conversations more interesting.
At each stop along the exhibit tour, different aspects of Muslim visibility will be on display. The focus at Cleary, Jafri says, will be on sports, the community, and media. They will have art, sculptures, and videos; along with materials from Muslim politicians- both successful and not, and sports athletes.
Cleary Program Director Grace Farley said this exhibit is part of the university's ambition to provide a greater focus on the arts within their business curriculum and provide a bigger look at what the community is about now.
Two special events around the exhibit are scheduled. The Halal Metropolis Exhibition Opening Night event is scheduled for next Friday, from 5-8pm. Part of the program will feature a special performance by Sufi women from a spiritual community in Fenton. Then on November 21st, from 1 to 3pm, there will be a panel discussion on Muslim visibility.
More information on the exhibit can be found online through the link below. You can also hear an interview with Jafri and Farley this Sunday morning at 8:30 on WHMI's Viewpoint. (Photo-halalmetropolis.org) (MK)
