Lionel Messi Early Life
Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina. His father, Jorge Horacio Messi, worked as a steelworker in a plant, while his mother, Celia Maria Cuccittini, worked as a part-time cleaner. Messi is known to be pretty tight with his siblings, Rodrigo and Matias, Maria Sol. The family used to play soccer together. His cousins Maximiliano and Emanuel Biancucchi also took Messi's route to football and are professionals now. Messi joined the Rosario soccer club at the age of six and played for Newell's Old Boys.
Lionel Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficit when he was 10 years old. Unfortunately, his father could not afford his medical treatment charges for too long. They request Newell's and they agreed to contribute. But, they took back their promise soon after. Carles Rexach, the Sporting Director of FC Barcelona promised to fund Messi's medical fees if he could relocate to Spain. Rexach wrote out a contract on a napkin with Lionel's father's agreement, and the family relocated to Barcelona in February 2001.

Lionel Messi was arguably the highest-paid soccer player (can also be called, the highest paid athlete) in the world during his prime with Barcelona. He signed a contract with Barcelona in 2017 that pays a base salary of $168 million. His contract numbers were a well-kept secret for several years, until in January 2021, the Spanish daily El Mundo revealed the leaked contract data. His yearly base compensation was $44.68 million under a prior deal.
Messi makes an extra $40 million each year in sponsorships. Adidas has given him a lifelong sponsorship contract. Messi made a whopping $130 million between June 2018 and June 2019. He and Fernando Torres are the faces of the video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 and assisted with the trailer and motion capture.
Lionel Messi Adidas Endorsement
Messi has been sponsored by Adidas since 2006, being one of the most celebrated athletes of all time. He joined hands with Nike at the age of 14 but then moved to Adidas. Messi's long-running trademark line of Adidas footwear began in 2008, and he acquired his own sub-brand of boots dubbed Adidas Messi.
Lionel Messi Career
Lionel Messi made his league debut against RCD Espanyol at the age of 17. He was the third-youngest player in FC Barcelona history. Messi also has the record of being the youngest player to ever score for Barcelona at the time. Lionel Messi got his Spanish citizenship and got paid as a first-team member during the 2005-2006 seasons. He also made his debut in Spain's First Division. Messi was the youngest Argentine to play and score in the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
Messi was hurt with a broken metatarsal three months after the World Cup in the 2006-2007 season. He then returned to the game against Racing Santander as a substitute. Lionel Messi scored a hat trick against Real Madrid in March of that year, becoming the first player since Ivan Zamorano to do so in the El Clasico. Known to be ruling every game, Messi guided Barcelona to the top four of La Liga in the 2007-2008 season. He was nominated for a FIFA ProWorld XI Player Award as a forward, and the Marca newspaper ranked him the greatest player in the world. Other publications quickly followed suit, declaring that Messi should be given the Ballon d'Or. He ultimately won his maiden race in 2009, at the age of 22, and went on to win three more in a row the following year. In addition, he won an Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He broke La Liga and European records for most goals scored in a single season in 2012. This secured his place as Barcelona's all-time leading scorer.
Messi, now Barcelona's captain, finished second in the Ballon d'Or voting the next two seasons, trailing lifetime rival Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi guided Argentina to the World Cup finals in 2014, for which he also earned the Golden Ball. It was a shocker when he declared his retirement in 2016. But it came as a wave of relief for many when Messi changed his mind soon after, as Argentina qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. They also came in third place at the 2019 Copa America. Messi won a record-breaking sixth Ballon d'Or in 2019.
His latest achievement is when Messi opened the new season by scoring PSG's opening goal in a 4-0 victory over Nantes in the Trophée des Champions on July 31, earning his second trophy with the club.
Messi has been dating Rosario native Antonella Roccuzzo since 2008. They've been friends since they were five years old. They made their relationship public in January 2009. Messi got married to Roccuzzo married in 2007. The couple has three children, Thiago , Matero and Ciro. Messi is very tight with his family, particularly his mother. He's even seen flaunting a tattoo of his mom's face on his left shoulder. His professional life is primarily conducted as a family business, with his father serving as his agent since Messi was 14 years old. Rodrigo, his older brother, manages his public relations.
Messi paid $2 million for a property in Barcelona's Pedrables district in 2009. He then spent millions of dollars on restorations and improvements. The property is believed to be worth somewhat around $7 to $10 million.
Lionel Messi spent $5 million for a property in Miami in November 2019. He paid $7.3 million for the full ninth story of a separate skyscraper in Miami in April 2021.

Here's the latest on the NOTAM outage that caused flight delays and cancellations
Date: Thursday, January 12, 2023
Flights across the U.S. slowly resumed Wednesday after a nationwide ground stop by the Federal Aviation Administration, stemming from the outage of a crucial piece of technology.
The failure of the Notice to Air Missions system, or NOTAM, caused airlines to cancel more than 1,300 flights, and delay nearly 10,000 more, according to flight tracker FlightAware.com.
The FAA said that early investigative work traced the blackout to a "damaged database file," but the agency is still working to determine the root cause.
"At this time, there is no evidence of a cyberattack. The FAA is working diligently to further pinpoint the causes of this issue and take all needed steps to prevent this kind of disruption from happening again."
This NOTAM technology, which alerts pilots and airports of real-time hazards, failed by late Tuesday. Pilots could still get updates through other means while there were fewer flight departures. But as morning approached on the East Coast — and more flights were slated to take off — the issue hadn't been resolved. The FAA ordered a ground stop a little after 7 ET and ended it around 9. It took hours for flights to get back on track.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized that the shutdown was needed to keep passengers safe. He also "directed an after-action process to determine root causes and recommend next steps."
This incident comes just weeks after major disruptions with Southwest Airlines over the holidays led to more than 16,700 canceled flights.
Similar disruptions arose in Canada on the same day. NAV CANADA, which owns and operates that country's civil air navigation system, reported its own issues with their NOTAM technology and subsequent delays.
"NAV CANADA continues to investigate the cause of the outage; at this time, we do not believe it to be related to the FAA outage experienced earlier today,
the company said late Wednesday.
Experts told NPR that the NOTAM system has never gone down like it did on Wednesday, and the last time there was a nationwide ground stop of departing planes in the U.S. was during the 9/11 attacks.
Mike McCormick, a former safety official at the FAA and an assistant professor at the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, said the incident raises concerns as the FAA has been investing millions of dollars into updating its systems.
"The surprising part to me that after years of upgrade and investment in the next generation aviation system, how one — whatever it may be — problem caused this complete failure in the system. And there should never be a single point of failure," he said.
The updates from federal authorities likely offered little comfort to passengers whose travel plans were thrown for a loop. Some travelers had to rebook, deal with delays or scrap their original plans altogether.
In New York City, Benjamin Fashola told Gothamist he had a frustrating morning at LaGuardia Airport. His original flight was canceled, then re-booked, and subsequently delayed.
"It's very frustrating," he said. "Patience is a tool we're going to use right now because at the end that's all we can do is be patient."
Unlike with the Southwest Airlines cancellations over the holidays, it's unclear who can be responsible for covering costs tied to delays and cancellations when the problem is not an airline issue.
A few airlines are giving travelers some flexibility in the meantime.
United is giving "a travel waiver for any customers who need to change their plans, including offering refunds for customers who no longer want to travel," the company announced. Customers who want to get a refund can submit a request through united.com/refund.
All Southwest customers can "rebook in the original class of service or travel standby (within 14 days of the original date of travel between the original city-pairs and in accordance with our accommodation procedures) without paying additional charges."
Lawmakers and industry players want answers
Buttigieg spent much of the day addressing questions about how this happened and defending the ground stop.
"My top priority right now ... is to understand the root cause, understand how it could have led to this level of disruption, and understand how to make sure it doesn't happen again," he said after flight departures were allowed to resume.
The issues with NOTAM were resolved in a matter of hours, but lawmakers from both political parties as well as industry stakeholders are raising questions about the state of the technology that the air transportation system relies upon.
Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Democrat and the chair of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said the panel will look into the cause and how to prevent future outages as it prepares for "FAA reauthorization legislation."
Republican Rep. Sam Graves, the new chair of the House transportation committee and a pilot, issued a strong statement against the FAA, saying this outage "highlights a huge vulnerability in our air transportation system."
Graves said he will ask the FAA to provide a full briefing to Congress as soon as the agency learns more.
"And just as DOT expected Southwest to make passengers whole after their leadership failures, I expect a prompt update on DOT's efforts to do right by the passengers it has wronged."
Geoff Freeman, president and CEO the U.S. Travel Association, said the system failure is a sign that the country's transportation network needs major upgrades. The association is an industry group representing "all components of the travel industry."
"Americans deserve an end-to-end travel experience that is seamless and secure. And our nation's economy depends on a best-in-class air travel system," he said in a statement. "We call on federal policymakers to modernize our vital air travel infrastructure to ensure our systems are able to meet demand safely and efficiently."

What is the world like without a sense of smell? Filmmaker Jacob LaMendola interviewed a handful of people with anosmia, a rare condition that makes them unable to perceive odor. The interviews are paired with striking visuals that evoke some of the strong smells—both good and bad—that surround us every day. Exploring the richness and depth that smell brings to our lives, the film is a good reminder to always stop and smell the roses.

York Ready for 100% encourages home composting
By Erin Hayes news@yorkweekly.com
YORK -- An environmental advocacy group is encouraging residents to begin composting during pandemic stay-at-home measures in Maine.
An initiative spearheaded by York Ready for 100%, a nonprofit that advocates for clean energy and sustainability, hopes to bring composting and improved recycling to York residents during coronavirus closures.
"It's the perfect time to begin composting," said Victoria Simon, a leader in environmental activism and member of York Ready for 100%.
"In reaction to the virus, more folks are eating at home and have the time to pay attention to where their food scraps are going," she said.
The group recently created a new division of its organization: Waste Reduction and Diversion. WRAD's mission centers around increasing local composting, streamlining recycling practices, and eliminating single-use plastics in York.
Simon and WRAD advocates are hoping that families take advantage of the extra time they have to begin composting initiatives in their households, either by creating a composting pile in their backyards, or through composting pickup.
WRAD is continuing a pilot composting program in partnership with Mr. Fox Composting, where the first 50 residents to sign up were given a free counter-top composting bin. Composting services with Mr. Fox costs $16 per month, with biweekly pickup.
Simon said local York residents Carol and Dan Libby had taken advantage of the composting program and were "surprised to discover their composting resulted in 83% reduction of trash waste."
"To understand how composting reduced their waste, the Libby's weighed their kitchen scraps and trash weekly during February and March 2020. On average, they produced 1.8 pounds trash and 9.2 pounds kitchen scraps," Simon said.
WRAD also encouraged residents to seek information from Casella Waste, York's curbside pickup contractor, for the latest recycling standards to maximize recycling output.
"Residents are encouraged to visit Casella's 'Recycle Better' site for updated information on what items are acceptable for our blue bins," she said.
Simon mentioned the success of WRAD's composting initiative at York High School, a measure funded through the town for $3,701. She said students had maintained 85-90% composting compliance with the program.
In a March progress report to the Board of Selectmen, Simon stated the school had measured food waste of 25.2 pounds of food waste collected per day, amounting to around 4,483 pounds per school year.
"Based on the EPA WARM (Waste Reduction Model) Greenhouse Gas conversion calculator, 4,483 pounds of mixed food waste diverted to composting eliminates the release of 3.13 metric tons of CO2 equivalents Greenhouse Gases from our atmosphere," Simon noted in the report.
WRAD wrote they believed they could offset the composting program in the future by reducing trash dumpsters at the school.
Simon said although she believed the program was successful, with coronavirus closures she was unsure at this time if the program will continue in the fall.
"We have every intention of continuing the high school compost program in the Fall (of) 2020 and look to expanding it to the other York schools," she said. "Given the sudden closing of schools and normal town meetings, I don't have information about cost savings and funding."
Simon cites ending food waste as being one of the most impactful measures a family can take to reduce their carbon footprint.
"Unless we compost, these food scraps go into a landfill or are incinerated," she said. "Either disposal method generates high levels of greenhouse gases, including methane and carbon dioxide, the great culprits behind climate change."
To sign up for the WRAD composting program, go to mrfoxcomposting.com, call 855-673-6926. or send an email to composting@yorkreadyfor100.org.

ALEXANDER Jessica
'Chasing chaos: My decade in and out of humanitarian aid'
Book published in 2013 by Random House: 'Chasing Chaos: My decade in and out of humanitarian aid'.
An eye-opening and intimate memoir about life as an international humanitarian aid worker in the field in Rwanda, Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Haiti.
Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide as an idealist intern, excited to be a part of the international humanitarian aid community. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined. In this honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the reality of the life of an aid worker. We watch as she helps to resettle refugees in Rwanda, manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, and helps a former child soldier in Sierra Leone get rid of a tattoo that was carved into his skin by a rebel group. But we also see the alcoholic parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and cyncism, the plans and priorities that constantly shift and change. Tracing her personal journey from idealistic and naïve newcomer to hardened cynic to hopeful but critical realist, Alexander transports readers to some of the most troubled locations and shows us not only the impossible challenges, but also the moments of hope and recovery.

The sound of freedom that resonates from civil and political rights rings hollow to a newborn who has low birth weight, because the baby's mother had no access to a clean workplace, good nutrition or adequate prenatal care. And, what good are political and civil rights to a different baby, whose Mom died in childbirth or who has lost a parent due to an accident, or whose parents are debilitated by occupational disease, or to the baby who may suffer personal injury due to the effects of a parent's exposure to toxic substances, or whose father has terminal cancer?
The United Nations International Conference on Population and Development in 1994 codified the definition, "Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well_being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its functions and processes."
Consistent with this legal mandate, in March 2016 the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ECSCR) adopted General Comment n. 22 (GC/22) which elaborates "[r]eproductive health …concerns the capability to reproduce and the freedom to make informed, free and responsible decisions. It also includes access to a range of reproductive health information, goods, facilities and services to enable individuals to make informed, free and responsible decisions about their reproductive behavior." (para. 5 E/C.12/GC/22).
When we care about reproductive health we are protecting Posterity, thereby extending human rights to lives beyond our own. Universal norms, codified in international instruments, outlast lifetimes and reach across geographic borders and ethnicities and national jurisdictions, to enrich all human society. Pregnancy underscores the complex reality that no one is either: self-sufficient or completely dependent on others. Human existence is a confluence of interdependence, which makes even the highest ranking leader dependent on human rights protection. Civil society has not fully replaced human childbearing for human reproduction, and therefore protecting posterity especially during childbirth and pregnancy is a shared health concern of people throughout the world.
Committee in GC22 further stated that these rights are "indivisible from and interdependent with other human rights. It is intimately linked to civil and political rights underpinning the physical and mental integrity of individuals and their autonomy, such as the right to life; liberty and security of person".
Several key areas challenge implementation of these beautiful notions about reproductive health and sexual health. The mission of this conference is to think carefully and with grandeur about giving these words meaning in daily life. The charge for this conference is "On the basis of this recent legal authoritative opinion, and in the light of recent developments in many national legal orders, this conference calls upon the academic community to substantively contribute to the enhancement of effective legal solutions to "new" social concerns".
Our conference goal therefore is to review and revise an existing Declaration with Plan of Action for Reproductive health in order to reflect new knowledge about longstanding health disparities and new science that bring a larger constituency to these issues. Note that although the Declaration from 1998 needs an update, unfortunately, so little has changed in the field regarding unmet needs to protect reproductive health that one can work from this text to craft a strategy that embraces assisted reproductive technologies and the needs of LGBT families, nanotechnologies for preventing cervical cancer and emerging issues in the workforce.
Legal pluralism offers the opportunity to eliminate embedded sexism in the human rights law, which has closeted womens health and reproductive health away from mainstream rights to health. The impact of this inequality presents a second challenge which can be met by good science and sound legal strategy for attacking the problems of reproductive health: empirically documented negative differences in womens health and shockingly high rates of maternal mortality during pregnancy and childbirth, and avoidable infant mortality must be reduced. Inequality embedded under law translates into large health disparities that undermine womens health, as WHO discussed in 2009 « Women and Health: Today's Evidence , Tomorrow's Agenda » d [1].According to WHO, the difference in male versus female health outcomes using their indicators showed better health among men in 5 stages of the life cycle[2]1. birth to 5 years, 2. adolescence (including implications of adolescent pregnancy) 3. Reproductive years 4. Post-reproductive years (menopause and greater risk for cancer among sex-based target organs) and 5. Advanced ageing (65-80 years). New technology offers the opportunity to discard skewed methods that have been used in the past, and thereby reduce health disparaties.
Legal pluralism offers the first solution to these challenges. By requiring that parallel systems within our own legal system inform our jurisprudence using those legal systems of indigenous peoples, laws of diverse states within a matrix of federalism and of course the needs of diverse groups of people we expand our constituency for implementing human rights to reproductive health. Legal pluralism also requires concern for equitably including all groups of people within the same system, such as LGBT and infertile populations using assistive reproductive technologies.
New mandates ensuring reproductive health however, can use the force of old language mandating separation to solve the need to legitimately link these issues to the larger human rights framework. Frozen eggs and a variety of new forms of surrogacy enable women to continue working in a highpowered career without staring squarely at the face of a biological clock. Into this mix too, jurisprudence must reflect upon the meaning of GC22 "freedom to make informed, free and responsible decisions". HIV testing has taught the importance of moving the modern paradigm away from examining the physical "invasiveness" of testing, examining instead the emotional burden that a "simple blood test"places upon individuals. Civil society's recent experience with HIV policy provides a useful precedent for discussing emerging informed consent requirements in highly emotional aspects of reproductive health, such as prenatal gene therapy, medically recommended therapeutic abortion, embryo selection in multiple fetus pregnancy, or fetal surgery.
Will empirically documented, gender-based health disparities between men and women be reproduced, OR improved, following the widespread use of new technology? Good science applying new technology may offer solutions to the challenge of documented health disparities that undermine reproductive health for all. By expanding the "Capability to reproduce", new technologies offer a rare opportunity to uproot embedded errors in our methods of creating and administering health care and thereby to reduce health disparities.

Small Island States: Geoeconomic and Geopolitical Strategies and their Vulnerabilities in the International System with Specific Reference to the Republic of Seychelles
The dissertation deals with the geopolitical and geoeconomic motivations of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in an increasingly globalised international system. As such the dissertation seeks to determine what impact a micro state has in shaping international policy and what guarantees the state has if any in maintaining its sovereignty and protecting its territorial borders. Furthermore, the work discusses how established global organisations such as the United Nations can be utilised to achieve various ends for such states. This is achieved by banding together and incorporating the adage of 'in numbers security' into the mantras.
Finally, the paper deals with the issues facing SIDS in terms of their security, their isolation, their leverage with regards to mightier nations and their both economic and social factors which may hinder their development.

The Kurdish Question – Geopolitical Analysis of the Kurdish Question in Iraq and Turkey
Numerous geopolitical and geo-economic factors link the Kurdish Question to Middle Eastern and world politics. The Kurds, a large non-Arab population, inhabit gas and water-rich areas. Kurdish nationalism has been rising over recent decades; however there is lack of unanimity among Turkish and Iraqi Kurds. Amidst the Iraqi state transition, Iraqi Kurds seized the opportunity to form a strategic alliance with the US, establish their ethnic minority rights and reinforce Kurdish autonomy in Northern Iraq. However, a stable KRG can be a threat to stability in the Kurdish inhabited areas of Turkey, where PKK also operates. Moreover, American strategic interests in the region often conflict with Turkish policies. The adoption of a federal or regional autonomy state model in Iraq and Turkey may prove a viable solution for stability and territorial integrity of these states. The final determination of the status of Kirkuk and an agreement on Iraqi Kurdistan's borders and revenue sharing are prerequisites to that. Federalization or regional autonomy could prevent Kurdish secessionist tendencies by guaranteeing respect of Kurdish rights within a democratic system.

Brazilian Leadership in the Integration Process in South America: The Case of UNASUL
This master's dissertation analyses the process of South American integration through the lens of the Brazilian perspective, an attempt to find the role for Brazilian Leadership in the region without impinging on other countries' sovereignty. Theories of integration and regionalization are used as mechanisms to find challenges faced by a successful integration program in South America. The case of MERCOSUL and UNASUL are used as examples of how the Brazilian Foreign Policy should behave to foster a process of integration that results in actual development and in the elimination of the asymmetries of the region.

Energy Security to 2030 - The future with biofuels
The dissertation looks at the current energy outlook which projects a sobering picture of how the global energy system is likely to evolve from now to 2030. If policy makers adhere with the current policies, the net world's energy demand will be almost 60% higher in 2030 than they are now. Fossil fuels will continue to dominate the global energy mix, meeting most of the increase in overall use, although many would have peaked production. This diversification of sources from non renewable to renewable sources of energy would be important in the light of securing supplies, cost benefits and environmental sustainability and relieving the planets addiction to hydrocarbons. Biofuels, especially ethanol from sugar and starch based sources, have been proposed as a solution to several pressing global concerns, viz energy security, climate change and rural development , but lately, there is growing concern about the role of biofuels in rising food prices, accelerating deforestation, water scarcity and doubts about the climate benefits. This has led to serious questions about their sustainability and extensive campaigns against higher targets. It is concluded that there is a pressing need for an ethical approach towards future biofuels production. The future for a sustainable biofuels industry would depend largely on the fact that feedstock production must avoid agricultural land that would otherwise be used for food production. These challenges are complex and will take time to overc

India's Energy Security - Planning and Policy Considerations
India's growing economy, coupled with its ever increasing appetite for energy has become an increasing concern for many across the spectrum, both domestically as well as internationally. In its rise through what it calls "enlightened self-interest," India needs to secure its energy needs for obvious reasons. India's limited self-sufficiency in energy resources, coupled with an increasing reliance on fossil fuels (primarily coal and oil), pose serious questions for policy makers regarding the future availability of these sources, keeping in mind its depletion globally, and its steady and affordable supply – as India continues to depend on regions which are socio-politically unstable. The dissertation examines existing scenarios and policies and tries to underscore and suggest possible solutions for India's planning and policymaking which is integral towards securing its energy needs. The study conducted reveals how India as a net importer of energy can find reliable and affordable solutions towards meeting its future energy concerns that would not only be economically sound, but would promote overall sustainable development.

Information Warfare, Color Revolutions and Geopolitical Stakes
This paper examines the use of information warfare and democracy promotion in color revolutions and the geopolitical stakes behind non-violent regime change. An early form of democratic transition is analyzed in Mongolia followed by the proper color revolution of Georgia. Finally, Iran is examined as both a target of direct regime change and indirect non-violent regime change. The determination that color revolutions are covert methods to achieve regime change to gain geopolitical influence and to assure cultural, political and economic hegemony is made. This is further suggested by the level of intimacy between the civil apparatus behind running color revolutions and the military arm of Western governments. I conclude that the model of neoliberal world order color revolutions seek to augment are a detriment to peace and are based on the use of force and violence, a world view incompatible with true humanistic values. The ultimate goal of the paper is to draw correlations between civil and military government operations and the accelerating integration thereof. These carry enormous consequences for society as a whole.

Human Rights of Unskilled Indian Migrant Workers: The Case of Qatar
The objective of this study is to analyse the human rights of unskilled Indian migrant workers in Qatar. From South East Asia to Latin America, from Scandinavia to Oceania, the notion of human rights should remain the same irrespective of the geography of labour migration. However being an Islamic country that has differing views from Western perspectives of human rights, it is important to understand every aspect of human rights associated to this category of the migrant Indian population in Qatar. The author attempts to chart a course by examining the various factors including historical, socio-economic and developmental that led to the migration of unskilled Indian workers to Qatar. Each right that is applicable to this group of migrant workers is then analysed under international laws, regional processes, bilateral agreements and domestic policies. Upon having provided the necessary background information, the author analyses the current situation in Qatar and the applicability of four chosen settings that puts these rights into practice. This study therefore attempts to examine some of the important factors that are relevant to the enjoyment of the human rights of Indian migrant workers in Qatar.

New Media – Curse or Blessing for Democracy? Postmodern Idealistic Utopia versus Orwellian Nightmare assisted by Technology
The recent development of new media could possibly usher in a brave new world, where the internet will be responsible for a new era of participatory democracy and a revitalization of the public sphere. There is also the very likely scenario of the World Wide Web could ultimately create and Orwellian future, where complete censorship and ultimate surveillance and the surreal idea of the rule of the machines become a very likely scenario. The researcher has attempted to study whether the future with the introduction of today's participatory cultures will lead to the reform of the public sphere and a new form of democracy, or whether the current technological development will ultimately lead to a complete form of total control of the individual. After an extensive study, the researcher concluded that the near science fiction vision of Kurt Kurzweil for humanity's future is actually becoming reality. The researcher considers the excitement about social media and its promise and intermediate phase in the long term development of technology as a form of control. The implementation of nanotechnology and articifial intelligence in everyday life is just around the corner and the researcher is convinced that our civilization is not prepared for the changes all these new applications will ultimately bring to our lives.

Global Poverty: The Case for sub-Saharan Africa
Global Poverty is one of the major global risks affecting humanity today living in extreme or moderate poverty across the globe. The problem is worst in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) which is one of the three remaining regions where the poor live below US $ 1.25 per person per day. The other two regions are South Eastern Asia and the Americas. Together, this group of countries has been designated by the United Nations as the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). They are the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in the world with their economies characterized by high levels of poverty, and highly susceptible to external shocks. The world economic and financial crisis including effects of climate change and natural or man-made disasters compound the problem even more. In these regions poverty is endemic, systemic and pervasive, making its eradication without outside assistance extremely difficult.
In the book a background is provided to research conducted on poverty worldwide and specific to sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) which shows the complexities involved in dealing with poverty. Issues covered in the introduction include the problem posed in defining poverty accurately as it means different things in different places and times in terms of purchasing power parity. A survey of the recent global trends of poverty has been conducted which confirms that a one-size fits–all approach cannot apply in all situations. Instead, a different approach may be needed to deal with poverty in different instances. Using a STEEP analysis the study discusses the underlying deep causes of poverty which contribute to the high levels of extreme poverty in SSA and suggests policy options that can systematically address the underlying causes of poverty and how they can be addressed.
Identification of key stakeholders and which multi-stakeholder approaches to eradication of poverty are also recommended with emphasis being put on participation of the poor themselves as key in the success of any poverty eradication programmes. The roles of national and foreign governments, international financial institutions, the private sector and non-governmental organizations have been emphasized too as very crucial.
Several frameworks are developed in the dissertation to demonstrate how poverty eradication can indeed be applied with reasonable success in the region as has been the case in other regions which had experienced poverty within their ranks.

Living between Colossuses: Buffer states, South-East Europe and the Atlantic Community
The thesis offers the blending of geography, history and politics in south-eastern Europe during many defining moments, from a probably atypical perspective. It is an attempt to look into the realities in places perceived as conventional buffers, following the line that there is the truth, in spite of large gaps that remain in our understanding of events and decisions made. The author provides an insight into the buffer concepts and underlines that in reality all states – buffer and non buffer – must operate as viable partners in contributing to the maintenance of peace in good condition. If not, they may seize to exist, and this may be particularly true in cases of multi-ethnic and multi-religious political entities.
It also provides an account of the previous bi-polar divisions in international politics and describes how after its end, two decades ago, the global political changes stem not only from human culture and strength of institutions, but also from the new geopolitical realities. The author asks what the leaders and commanders of nations in those places did well or did wrong during and after the passage of this era, and offers the notion that in regard to transition from nationalist authoritarianism to democracy, the new states have to provide capacity in generating stability and prosperity in the balance of interests, in a common European space.

Beliefs and Boredom - Dave Stuart Jr.
When students get bored, they disengage from the task at hand. They either don't do the work — of listening, of learning, of reading, of writing — or they do it with a very low level of attention and care.
To remedy student boredom, I argue that the simplest solutions are the best ones. It's certainly possible that gamifying all of education is a way to remedy student boredom — but I think this is a much more complicated undertaking than, say, studying the five key beliefs beneath student motivation and applying them to our classrooms.
After all, boredom is highly individualized. While you may find it interesting to read blogs about teaching, most people in the world would find that tediously boring. Likewise, I have students who adore all things anime. When I've tried to watch anime, though, I've found it pretty boring.
I would argue that anime is no more inherently boring than teaching blogs are. It's just that I have one set of beliefs about anime and another about teaching.
Belonging/Identity: I don't identify with anime; I don't desire to belong to the community of anime watchers.
Effort and Value: While I do think that I could get to a place where I built enough anime knowledge to discover its merits and perhaps even enjoy it, I'm not at all tempted to invest my time and effort that way. In other words, I don't think there's anything wrong with Japanese animation, but I don't value it nearly enough to want to spend any time studying or enjoying it.
Belonging/Identity: I love being a teacher and investing my working life toward it. Being part of this profession is worth more to me than treasure or prestige.
Effort and Value: I've exerted years of effort toward improving my teaching knowledge and abilities because I love it so much. (Loving something is a high form of the value belief.) Teaching also feeds my family — so I value getting better at teaching from a utilitarian perspective, too.
So what I would say to someone who is seeking to combat student boredom by revamping their whole curriculum or school into something gamified or intensely individualized is that it might be more efficient to bone up on the five key beliefs first. The research is rich, and many of the interventions are simple. In my next article, I'll share one intervention that helps students value coursework, particularly in areas where they currently don't.
Dave, thank you for this clear example – it makes so much sense. To help students feel they are part of the classroom culture, that they belong, and that what we are doing is relevant to their lives . . . I get it! Thank you.

The cottage itself is every bit as spectacular as the setting. Originally built in the late 19th Century, Creach has been extended over the years and now boasts generous rooms and large windows that leave its interiors basking in natural light.
Coupled with its bright interior and classic cream colours, Creach has achieved a fresh and spacious feel that many traditional cottages often lack.
On the market with Perthshire-based Land and Estate Agents Bell Ingram, Creach offers buyers the chance to live in stunning serenity.
Laura MacCallum, Property Sales Assistant at Bell Ingram, said: "Creach enjoys the sort of landscape that really puts on a show with each season. I don't think you could ever get bored of simply looking out the window.
"The cottage has been very tastefully designed and includes all the mod cons needed for a comfortable and cosy living space.
Creach sits in extensive grounds covering a generous 14.65 acres, which include rugged landscape, a well-maintained garden and a burn that flows from the hillside, past the cottage to the shore line.
The property sings with charm and character as traditional features, such as its beamed ceiling and open fireplace, have been well-preserved and later stylish additions, including a spiral staircase with gallery overhead, add a modern, visual touch.
Creach is comprised of three bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a dining room, day room, utility room, two bathrooms, a shower room and a large detached garage.
And with Creach there really is no need to worry about choosing artwork to impress guests at dinner as, thanks to a newer extension just off the south-facing kitchen, Creach's dining room is glass-fronted, framing spectacular views of Ben More.
The Isle of Mull enjoys vibrant countryside, with a range of flora and fauna, putting Creach in an ideal setting for spotting some of Mull's Golden and Sea Eagles, Sea Otters, deer and pole cats.
A viewing appointment can be arranged through Bell Ingram's Oban office on 01631 566 122.
Established 112 years ago, Bell Ingram has 130 professional staff across 11 UK offices, including chartered surveyors, estate and forestry managers, architects and estate agents.

Q: jQuery  is not a function I'm trying to create a simple text block that updates when 1 of 3 form fields is changed.
Here's my jQuery and it keep getting this error: TypeError: $(...).updateTitlePrefix is not a function
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here?
$ = jQuery.noConflict();

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#dataEntryForm\:studyId').updateTitlePrefix();
    $('#dataEntryForm\:formNumberQualifier').updateTitlePrefix();
    $('#dataEntryForm\:formVersionNumber').updateTitlePrefix();
});

// updates the titlePrefix when either the study#, form# or form version are changed
$.fn.updateTitlePrefix() = function() {
    $(this).change(function() {
        $('#dataEntryForm\:titlePrefix').text($('#dataEntryForm\:formNumberQualifier').text() + $('#dataEntryForm\:formVersionNumber').text() + $('#studyId').text())
    });
}

Not sure if this is relevant, but i'm on jquery 1.3.2 because this is a JSF project and that's what is included in the Richfaces library.

A: $.fn.updateTitlePrefix = function() {

Remove the parentheses to win.
$.fn.updateTitlePrefix() is a function invocation; since you are just declaring the function, there is no need to invoke/call the function.
This is a commonly seen issue with functions expecting functions as parameters. For example.
function requriesFn(myFunction) {}
requiresFn(doStuff()); // incorrect (passes the return value of the function doStuff)
requiresFn(doStuff); // correct (passes the function itself)

$.ajax({
    error: $.noop() // incorrect
    error: $.noop // correct
});

// and my biggest pet peeve,
$(document).ready(function() {
    myFunction();
});
// simplify it
$(document).ready(myFunction);
// simplify it some more
$(myFunction);

Technically, there may be a need to invoke a function to return another function, but that is generally not the case.

Q: Haskell IdleCallback too slow I just started designing some graphics in haskell. I want to create an animated picture with a rotating sphere, so I created an IdleCallback function to constantly update the angle value:
idle :: IORef GLfloat -> IdleCallback
idle angle = do
  a <- get angle
  angle $= a+1
  postRedisplay Nothing

I'm adding 1 each time to the angle because I want to make my sphere smoothly rotate, rather than just jump from here to there. The problem is that now it rotates TOO slow. Is there a way to keep the rotation smooth and make it faster??
Thanks a lot!

A: There's not a lot to go on here. I don't see an explicit delay anywhere, so I'm guessing it's slow just because of how long it takes to update?
It also doesn't look explicitly recursive, so it seems like the problem is outside the scope of this snippet.
Also I don't know which libraries you may be using.
In general, though, that IORef makes me feel unhappy.
While it may be common in other languages to have global variables, IORefs in Haskell have their place, but are often a bad sign.
Even in another language, I don't think I'd do this with a global variable.
If you want to do time-updating things in Haskell, one "common" approach is to use a Functional Reactive Programming library.
They are built to have chains of functions that trigger off of a signal coming from outside, modifying the state of something, which eventually renders an output.
I've used them in the past for (simple) games, and in your case you could construct a system that is fed a clock signal 24 times per second, or whatever, and uses that to update the counter and yield a new image to blit.
My answer is kind of vague, but the question is a little vague too, so hopefully I've at least given you something to look into.


I've always liked a good beanie to keep me warm, so this winter I decided to create my own. I liked the final product so much that I decided to make some available to fans. If you're in the market, check out my online store. I worked with a designer in NYC who's done all the merchandise for the musical Hamilton. It may not start a revolution, but it's a quality beanie.

Boy, 14, killed in after-school stabbing over brownie, friend says
By Deborah Wrigley
HOUSTON, Texas -- The 14-year-old victim of an after-school stabbing was identified as Brian Angel, an 8th grader at Jane Long Academy in southwest Houston.
After school Wednesday, Brian walked across Bellaire Blvd to a convenience store. Authorities say there was an argument with a classmate, which spilled outside the store.
The argument ended with Brian being stabbed in the head. He died Friday at Memorial Hermann hospital, and the same day, the 14-year-old accused of stabbing him was arrested.
"It was over a brownie," Brian's friend, Sergio Munoz, said he was told the argument was about.
"It was ridiculous. I think that (other) kid was not healthy mentally and caused him to pull out his knife and cut him," Munoz said.
Munoz described Brian as outgoing, generous, who dreamed of being a professional soccer player one day.
"He didn't deserve what happened, " he said.
Police had been searching for the juvenile suspect since the stabbing. Shortly after Brian passed away on Friday, the arrest was announced by HPD. The 14-year-old boy is now charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because he's a juvenile, his name is not being released.
Jane Long Academy will continue to provide grief counselors to students in need of assistance next week.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help pay for Brian's funeral expenses.
After the teen's death, HISD released this statement:
We are heartbroken to learn that our student has passed away. We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and all who loved and cared for him. We had counselors available at Jane Long Academy this week to offer emotional support to students and staff and they will return after Spring Break.
A Crime Stoppers reward is offered to anyone who can provide information leading to the suspect's arrest. Information can be provided anonymously at 713-222-TIPS.

Q: User System - Multiple Roles in MySQL Database So I am in the process of attempting to create a basic user system and within this system I want users to be able to have multiple roles.
Say for example I have the roles as follows: Administrator, Events Organiser, Donator
What is the best way to assign these multiple roles to a user and then check if they have any of these roles for showing certain permissions.
If it was only one role per person then it wouldn't be a problem as I'd just assign say Administrator = 10, Organiser = 5 and Donator = 1 and then do an if statement to check if the MySQL data is equal to any of those three numbers.
I can't imagine there is a way to add a MySQL Field and fill it with say "Administrator,Donator" and therefore that user would have both of those roles?
Is it just a case of I would need to create 3 separate fields and put a 0 or a 1 in those fields and check each one separately?

A: You will have a roles, users and users_roles tables:
The roles table will hold the various roles your users can have. In my example data I've declared Administrator and Donator roles.
roles
    id             unsigned int(P)
    description    varchar(15)

+----+---------------+
| id | description   |
+----+---------------+
|  1 | Administrator |
|  2 | Donator       |
| .. | ............. |
+----+---------------+

And of course you'll have to store information about your users.
users
    id          unsigned int(P)
    username    varchar(32)
    password    varbinary(255)
    etc.

+----+----------+----------+-----+
| id | username | password | ... |
+----+----------+----------+-----+
|  1 | bob      | ******** | ... |
|  2 | mary     | ******** | ... |
| .. | ........ | ........ | ... |
+----+----------+----------+-----+

Finally you'll tie the two together in the users_roles table. In my example data you can see that bob is a Donator and mary is both an Administrator and a Donator. The user_id and role_id are both foreign keys to their respective tables and together they form the primary key for this table.
users_roles
    user_id    unsigned int(F user.id)\_(P)
    role_id    unsigned int(F role.id)/

+----+---------+---------+
| id | user_id | role_id |
+----+---------+---------+
|  1 |       1 |       2 |
|  2 |       2 |       1 |
|  3 |       2 |       2 |
| .. | ....... | ....... |
+----+---------+---------+

This way a user can have an unlimited number of roles.

A: If you don't want to create two new table for such small thing.
You can utilize MySQL built in SET data type or you can store comma separated role in varchar and do query operation using FIND_IN_SET()
Eg.
SELECT * FROM user WHERE FIND_IN_SET('admin', role)>0;
+----+----------+----------+----------------+
| id | username | password | role (varchar)  |
+----+----------+----------+-----------------+
|  1 | bob      | ******** | admin           |
|  2 | mary     | ******** | admin,role1     |
| .. | ........ | ........ | role1,role2     |
+----+----------+----------+-----------------+

A: Use multiple tables and join them:
User
--------------
id    name
 1    test

Role
--------------
id    name
 1    Donator
 2    Organizer
 3    Administrator

User_Role
--------------
id    user_id    role_id
 1    1          1
 2    1          3

SELECT * FROM User u
    LEFT JOIN User_Role ur ON u.id = ur.user_id
    LEFT JOIN Role r ON ur.role_id = r.id
WHERE r.name = "Administrator";

The query is easier if you know you only have 3 roles and they are easy to remember.
SELECT * FROM User u LEFT JOIN User_Role ur ON u.id = ur.user_id WHERE ur.role_id = 3;

Once the entire plant is completed, it will be able to produce 90,000 tonnes of salmon each year.
