The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) issued a stern warning to the world on Monday, saying food production must be increased a staggering 60 percent by mid-century to avoid mass starvation, social unrest and terrorism.
Hiroyuki Konuma, assistant director-general of the UN-FAO, Asia-Pacific, said it is estimated the world's population will exceed 9.0 billion people by the year 2050, an increase of 2.3 billion people from 2009. Most of this growth is expected to occur in developing countries.
Agriculture, in turn, is going to face numerous challenges, all intertwined and all necessary to the overall end-result of avoiding food insecurity and the potential for civil unrest and terrorism. Increased food demand has come at a time when we are spending less money and research in agriculture worldwide.
Konuma, speaking at a week-long regional food security conference in Ulan Bator, Mongolia said, "If we fail to meet our goal and a food shortage occurs, there will be a high risk of social and political unrest, civil wars and terrorism, and world security as a whole might be affected."
There have been some successes in curbing world hunger. Vegetable production in Asia and the Pacific, where more than three-quarters of the world's vegetables are grown, rose 25 percent over the past decade. Yet there are still over 842 million people suffering from malnutrition, and over two-thirds of this number live in the Asia-Pacific region.
Over 90 percent of the worldwide population increase is forecast to occur in developing countries. Sub-Saharan Africa will have the largest increase, with a 114 percent rise in population. Additionally, urbanization is expected to rise at an astounding rate, accounting for 70 percent of the world's population by 2050. This is up from the present 49 percent now.
With increased urbanization, it is only natural that per-capita incomes in developing countries will also increase, according to analysts. This trend will lead to a reduction of income-inequality, yet the gap between the haves and have-nots will become more pronounced. The UN report cites the growing numbers of "wealthy" people as causing an increase in the demand for higher calorie foods by the year 2050.
Even though the UN is calling for increased agricultural production, the arable land we have now is being fully exploited, yet productivity is slowing. One example cited was productivity rates for rice and wheat, staples around the world. During the 1980s, production of these two commodities grew 3.5 percent annually, yet in the past 20 years the rate has been stuck at 0.6 to 0.8 percent. "The growth rate needs to be stable at around 1 percent if the world is to have a theoretical chance to avoid serious shortages," said Konuma.
Climate change has made the situation worse, with big harvest losses occurring in Australia, Canada, China, Russia and the United States, due to floods and droughts the past several years. Added to this is the increasing scarcity of water, particularly in China, causing some farmers to shift production from food to bioenergy. Bioenergy is becoming a popular option in an attempt to cut the emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases.
Cost and diversity of food comes high on the list of issues discussed in the UN report. With increased wealth worldwide comes a divergence in diets, resulting in a reliance on a smaller number of crops. This will lead to world food supplies becoming vulnerable to insects, disease and inflationary costs. Luigi Guarino, a spokesman from the Global Crop Diversity Trust, told the BBC earlier this month that, "As the global population rises and the pressure increases on our global food system, so does our dependence on the global crops and production system that feeds us. The price of failure of any of these crops will become very high."
Some environmentalists suggest that we need a better food distribution method. Food waste is costly, not only to a governments economy, but in food insecurity. In February, the FAO, World Bank and World Resources Institute estimated that the world is losing 25 to 33 percent of the food it produces. This is nearly 4 billion metric tons annually.
It goes without saying that food security is a primary goal globally to ensure the world's population will survive. But it is obvious that it will take more, much more than better productivity and wiser use of arable lands to meet that goal. There are political differences between countries, as well as the effects of climate-change to contend with. The progress toward raising food consumption in developing countries will also lead to an increase in health problems from eating an energy-dense diet.
Energy-dense diets are typically high in fat, sugar and salt and low in dietary fiber. This kind of diet, seen in the developed countries of the world, is often associated with an increase in diet related health problems, such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Health care will become a major issue in developing nations coping with newly acquired food security. In some ways, progress in raising average food consumption will also become a mixed blessing.

Beauty Boy
James Charles Gets Real About Beauty—and Being a Role Model
If you're most people, the only place your senior yearbook photo is going is on your parents' wall. If you're James Charles, it gets retweeted by Zendaya and nabs you a historic contract with CoverGirl. This would be impressive for any 17-year-old, but it's especially so for Charles, who, you may have heard, is a guy. Men wearing makeup isn't new (see David Bowie, Mick Jagger), but the rise in popularity of male beauty bloggers—that is, men who aren't rock stars but who love a good highlighter—is. Meet the king of strobing.
On breaking boundaries: "Men and makeup isn't accepted by everybody, and that's OK. People have a right to their opinion. But when I get messages from people saying that my wearing makeup inspired them to do the same and feel more confident, it makes me so happy—I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world."
Save these ideas for later—and follow Allure on Pinterest!
On foundation mishaps: "The first product I ever used was my mom's foundation. When I was younger, I had pimples, so I just slapped it on and hoped it would fix the situation. It never did because it was about 18 shades too light for me."
On gluing his eyes shut: "I'm self-taught, and fake eyelashes definitely took the longest to master. I glued my eyes shut at least 15 times. It's embarrassing, and I laugh about it now, but in my first ten Instagram pictures, the lashes are Photoshopped on because my mascara didn't look good enough and I was too lazy to figure out how to actually put on the strips."
On being a freckle face: "I don't usually leave the house with makeup on. I wear it only for special occasions; I'm too lazy to get up in the morning before school and get glam. But if I had to pick one product I couldn't live without, it would be a brow pencil because you can use it for your brows or to draw on freckles."
On powder and lots of it: "I use my

for everything—even powder. I set my foundation and concealer with loose powder, then I go back with a dampened Beautyblender and add more powder. It keeps powder from sitting on top of the skin."
On his dad, the contractor: "My photos would not be as high quality without my dad. He's a contractor, and together we converted an area in our basement into a makeup studio with a desk, a mirror lined with dimmable lights, and storage areas. And we recently turned his old office into a filming space with soft boxes and a ring light for my YouTube channel."
On what should be seen from outer space: "Spraying your brush with setting spray before applying your highlighter makes the powder go on almost metallic-like. It's my favorite trick if you want your highlights to be extremely poppin'—like, so bright they can be seen from outer space."
On Internet trolls: "I get really negative comments all the time, but the comments that really bother me are the ones that question my character. I try so hard to stay a positive role model. It's sad to say, but you get used to it after a while, and I have a very thick skin, so I can take it. I'm having fun; I'm being myself; I'm doing what I love. That's all that matters."
James Charles is a spokesman for CoverGirl's So Lashy Mascara and #LashEquality campaign.
Sophia Panych is the former deputy beauty director of Allure.com, where she covered backstage beauty, market news, beauty features, and more for nearly 10 years. Now a London resident, Sophia currently serves as the Editorial Content Director at PopSugar UK.

List of Questions for New Hires

As a new hire in a company or an organization, you can't learn everything in one day. Starting a new job is a complex mix of excitement and anxiety, so it's important to focus on the most important issues. Over time, everything will fall into place. Before your first day, create a mental list of questions to ask your manager or supervisor, so you can start off on the right foot.
What is Expected?
Talk to your manager or supervisor and find out exactly what's expected of you. You might say, "I want to get off to a good start, so could you give me a quick rundown of what's expected in this position?" Or, according to leadership consultant Cynthia Burnham in a "Forbes" career article, you might ask, "Do you have established competencies I could use to measure my work, so I can meet the goals and expectations of the job?"
What Are the Workplace Policies?
Your company might have a handbook that defines the company's policies, or it might have unwritten codes of conduct that co-workers follow. You might ask your manager, "Are there any workplace policies I should follow?" or "Does the human resource department have a policy handbook?" For example, you want to know how long lunch breaks last, where you should park your vehicle, if there are dress code requirements, restrictions on personal cell phone use, how co-workers typically communicate -- texts, emails or face-to-face -- and protocols for client and co-worker meetings.
How Can I Fit In?
Adapting to a new company culture is a huge part of starting a new job. Talk to your supervisor or manager privately about workplace norms. You might ask, "Where is the safest and most convenient place to put my personal belongings?" "Do co-workers eat lunch together, and if so, do they typically eat in or out of the office?" or "Are there any personalities I should be aware of, so I can fit in without stepping on any toes?"
How Can I Meet Your Needs?
It's important to develop a strong working relationship with your boss right from the start. Ensure you are on the same page with your new manager. According to Alison Green at ''U.S. News and World Report,'' you might ask, "Are there any upcoming projects or department needs I should prepare for?" "Do you prefer to discuss work issues as they come up or at weekly meetings?" or "What do you want to be consulted on and what decisions do you prefer I make on my own?"

In The Revivalist, 1872, Joseph Hillman set "Amazing Grace" to this folk-hymn tune. The same pairing of tune and text appears in The American Vocalist, 1848, and in the Adventist Jubilee Harp, 1874. The tune is named AMAZING GRACE in all three publications.
In the recording I took the liberty to convert the G sharps to G naturals. The G sharp was probably inserted to satify the "scientific" sensibilies of the era. I think I'm on pretty safe ground to speculate that the average person who sang this tune would not have sung it with a raised leading tone.


Especially the complexity of the technical examination and the amount of data deposited.
The annual running costs for escrow are low. They start at $900 plus VAT for one deposited object.
According to our experience, checking simple software with regard to translatability costs about $2,000 plus VAT.

Q: Can anyone help me with a probability question? It is about conditional probability. Let $A, B \text{ and } C$ be events in a sample space while $A$ and $B$ are disjoint events. We know $P(A) = 2P(B)$, $P(C|A) = \frac{2}{7}$, $P(C|B) = \frac{4}{7}$. What is the result of $P(C | (A \cup B))$?
I was trying to expand the $P(C | (A \cup B))$ and plug in $P(A)$ and $P(B)$ to find the probability. But I found that this is not a good way to approach this problem.

A: What was the problem you found while expanding? It seems straightforward
$$
P(C | A \cup B) = \frac{P(C\cap (A \cup B)}{P(A \cup B)} = \frac{P((C \cap A)\cup (C \cap B))}{P(A)+P(B)} \stackrel{*}{=} \frac{\frac 47 P(B) + \frac47 P(B)}{3P(B)} = \frac{8}{21}
$$
Note that is this situation you have that:

*

*$P(A \cup B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) = P(A)+P(B)$

*Since $A$ and $B$ are disjoint, $C\cap A$ and $C\cap B$ are also disjoint and so $P((C\cap A) \cup (C\cap B)) = P(C\cap A)+P(C \cap B)$

*$P(C \cap A)= P(C|A) P(A) = \frac 27 P(A) = \frac 47 P(B)$

*$P(C\cap B) = P(C|B) P(B) = \frac 47 P(B)$

A: Sketch the Venn diagram: three linked rings like part of the Olympic rings... I drew them going left to right in the order A, C, B.
Because A and B are disjoint there is no overlap between A and B.
In the intersection of A and C you can put $2a$ and in the rest of A you can put $5a$. Can you see that this gives you the result $P(C|A)=\frac 2 7$?
In the intersection of B and C you can put $4b$ and in the rest of B you can put $3b$. That gives you the result $P(C|B)=\frac 4 7$.
You should see that $P(A)=7a$ and $P(B)=7b$.
Since $P(A)=2P(B)$ we have $7a=14b \Rightarrow a=2b$.
Rewrite the probabilities that were $5a$ and $2a$ as $10b$ and $4b$, respectively.
We now have $P(A \cup B)=10b+4b+4b+3b=21b$
$P(C|A \cup B)=\frac{P(C \cap (A \cup B))}{P(A \cup B)}=\frac{4b+4b}{21b}=\frac{8}{21}$

This REGA turntable comes without a cartridge, but on request we can pair it with a Rega Elys, Exact or Apheta cartridge, as well as with any other cartridges by Goldring, Ortofon, Benz Micro, the list goes on... We will take care of installation, set up and assembly of the spacer if you need it!
This new Rega RP6 vinyl turntable is the most recent release in a long line of Planar turntables by the British manufacturer. And it is certainly a worthy successor to the Planar P5.
Like all Rega Planars, this Rega RP6 vinyl turntable was designed with the aim of bringing maximum music and pleasure to its lucky owner, whilst ensuring astonishing levels of reliability and user-friendliness.
It shares the same basic architecture as the rega RP3 vinyl turntable with several significant improvements.
For example, the Rega RP6 turntable is fitted with the RB303 tonearm, successor to the legendary RB300.
This new tonearm has a new tube (redesigned using 3D technology) that is very rigid, with no points of resonance.
The new bearings have been carefully crafted to deliver a practically non-existent coefficient of friction.
Rega has been designing lightweight, rigid turntables for over 30 years ('Mass absorbs energy' R Gandy). And the Rega RP6 vinyl turntable is no different, boasting as it does the famous plinth with a phenolic resin coating, a system which enables the turntable to retain remarkable rigidity even with a low mass.
And mass is reduced and rigidity improved even further by Rega's Double Brace technology, which consists of a double brace placed between the tonearm and the turntable's central bearing.
The plinth neutrality is superior to the one offered by a RP3.
The Rega RP6 platter has a distinctive design. It is made up of two bonded pieces of glass, the heaviest of which is on the outside. This creates a significant flywheel effect, which improves rotation and speed stability whilst taking the pressure off the motor. Also note that this bonding reduces resonance of the platter.
The synchronous motor is powered by an external 24V power supply, the equally well-regarded REGA TT PSU. As well as enabling electronic speed changes between 33⅓ and 45 RPM (more practical than removing the platter and changing the drive belt manually, it has to be said!), this power supply regulates and stabilises the rotation of the motor, significantly reducing rumble and wow.
The motor pulley has been carefully crafted out of aluminium and the hub (also in aluminium) is powered by a standard Rega drive belt. We recommend replacing this with a higher quality belt.
The only damping mechanisms on the Rega RP6 turntable are its three rubber feet. This is a simple and effective system, but it also requires that a few precautions are taken when finding a home for your turntable. For example, it needs to be on a rigid, perfectly level surface, as far away from your speakers as possible.
For the best results, try the Rega wall bracket.
Once these precautions have been taken, your turntable will boast all the qualities that have made the British brand so popular and iconic.
The articulation and dynamic range of the bass are incredible. Double basses and cellos sound as clear and punchy as they would if played through a CD player worth 3 times the price.
The mids are present, giving string and wind instruments incredible density and astonishing authenticity.
The quality and timbre of the vocals is so good, it's as if the singers are right there with you in your living room!
The transparency and definition this turntable delivers is distinctly better than earlier models, and of course the current RP1 and RP3 models.
Its overall balance makes this a very versatile turntable. The results are particularly convincing with acoustic music, and especially classical.
But its dynamic range and spontaneity means that it is also very comfortable dealing with jazz, blues, rock and even electronic music.
We consider the RP6 to be one of the 3 best turntables under €1500 - a sound investment that comes highly recommended by maPlatine.com!
j'ai découvert le site Maplatine.com après de longues recherches sur internet et je ne regrette pas mon choix car j'ai été très bien accueilli par Jérôme et Franck.
Tout au long de ma commande, j'ai pu bénéficier de leurs conseils pertinents,toujours à l'écoute de mes demandes et assurant un service irréprochable tant en suivi, transport et mise en route de ma platine.
L'écoute du jazz et du classique sur ma platine me font redécouvrir mes airs préférés avec une authenticité retrouvée.
Les sons sont chauds, ronds et la REGA RP6 équipée d'une cellule Elys2 est très neutre avec une utilisation simple et quelle superbe platine. Un bijou.
je suis très heureux de mon achat, dès la première écoute j'ai été séduit par le son de la RP6. Un très beau médium un grave bien présent une image stable et précise beaucoup de détails mais aussi précision agilité et rythme sont les qualificatifs qui pour moi caractérisent cette platine. pour finir un grand merci à Franck et à l'équipe de maplatine.com envoie rapide colis très bien emballer mais aussi platine testée et réglée! un site que je recommande chaudement!


This is one of those simple projects that's a reminder of the versatility of textiles. Just because you find them in one form doesn't mean they can't be turned into something else! Do a search on Etsy and you'll find lots of Moroccan or kilim print rugs converted into decorative pillow covers.
I found these two $16 cotton rugs at HomeGoods and I thought to myself, hmmm I love the soft texture and the blue colors and the Old Worldish print. They're lovely as rugs but a little thin. Wouldn't these be fun as textured pillows for my sofa?
So I turned them into a set.
…into a pillow cover like this.
This is simple sew project but no zipper required. I used the same envelope pillow technique I've used for years, here's a refresher.
First, trim the fringe on the short edges. You can use it to make tassels for the corners if you like (I chose not to). Trimming the fringe avoids the possibility it may get stuck in your sewing machine.
Next, grab a pillow insert and lay it down on the rug just to confirm you have enough material. (I used a 24 x 24" pillow insert). Cut the rug in half.
The longer sides of the rug have a nice seam so use them to your advantage, they will appear on the edges of the envelope on the backside of your pillow cover. Cut the second half of the rug in half so it forms two rectangular pieces, each with a seamed edge.
This is the trick with forming the envelope: place the front piece face up so that the print is facing you. Layer the backside pieces print side down, one piece overlapping the other to form what will be the envelope opening.
Trim the pieces to form a square, allow for at least an inch of excess material around the border. Lay the pillow insert on top as your guide and pin the pieces together just outside the pillow form.
Sew the four sides together. Take special care with the sewing machine needle as you sew over the layers of the envelope and those seamed edges of the rug. (Go slow to prevent needle breakage).
Turn the cover inside out and fill with pillow insert.
Remember those seamed edges along the sides of the original rug? See how they form the perfect edges of the envelope opening on the back of the pillow cover.
They look so great! Love this DIY idea, especially for damaged vintage rugs as well.
So nice to read that thank you Jamie!!
Sorry, autospell changed his name. That should be Rifat Ozbek.
Beautiful! I like them. I've made a similar thing with a kitchen towel with a Van Gogh print.
Wow lovely Silvia, I can see those in an art or museum shop for sale!
Thank You Kate, my inspiration comes from You.
What a great idea! I will be checking that aisle at HomeGoods every trip from now on. Your pillows are beautiful!
Thanks Kim! I had to stop my cart when I saw them and I was inspired!
So pretty! I have made envelope pillow covers, but I haven't tried a rug as fabric. I love that pillow!
Thanks Pam! You get great texture when you use rugs as pillows!
LOL — I love textiles too and am constantly finding tablecloths that should be robes,drapes that should be cigarette pants, etc. I used a fabulous cotton scarf with a deco print of tennis players on a yacht to line one of my denim jackets.
I will definitely be on the lookout for a rug now — maybe for a floor pillow?
And BTW, for a textile that heavy, I would suggect a sewing machine needle made for denim — it's pretty heavy duty, but you do still need to take your time.
Excellent tip to use a needle for denim, thanks!!
Love this! I've wnted to make one for while but haven't found the right color rug yet. Best tutorial!
Those are beautiful Kate! Prettiest shades of blues and so clever to use rugs. You are so creative! I have my mom's sewing machine and need to bring it out if the closet and follow your tutorial. Looks very easy to follow!
Absolutely beautiful! What a great idea. They look wonderful on your couch.
Great idea! Also love the gold side table, could you share the source?
Hi Kathryn, that's a World's Away gold cocktail table I got on Joss & Main many years ago.
This one is similar: https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Albertine-Side-Table/9929803/product.html?
Love your pillows…I found some similar rugs in Home Goods about a month ago and bought all they had in the size I wanted…I am using a few of them to make the top of small benches. I intend to use the others as pillows as well! My daughter is building a new house and they fit her style perfectly!
This is a great idea Kate! I haven't seen your envelope method before, so thank you for going over it again. I think these covers looks absolutely fab, what a great repurposing idea!
What sparked you to turn rugs into cushion covers? Had you seen it before you first did it? It's a brilliant idea!
these are gorgeous, kate! love the color, texture, and pattern!

World Snooker Championship 2013: Dott wants rule change
From the section Snooker
http://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/22268829
Former world champion Graeme Dott says snooker rules need to be changed to speed up "slow play".
Dott defeated Peter Ebdon 10-6 in the first round of the World Championship in a marathon match that took over seven hours to complete.
"The only thing I can think of is having a shot clock, because it's killing the game," said the Scot.
"The standard these days is very high and there's no need to be as slow as Peter was."
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson
"Four minutes with an empty table on TV is a long time. We have to think about TV.
"There are a number of players that leave the arena after every frame, and that can be for a number of reasons - nerves, just wanting to calm down, or it might just be to wash your hands if it's quite sticky in the arena.
"Perhaps we do need to address that and look at if we need to put some limits on that. There used to be a limit.
"The referee's in charge of the match and perfectly entitled to speak to a player and say, 'Listen, you're taking too long'.
"If the referee feels a player is dragging the match down and playing too slow on purpose he's perfectly entitled to call that into question."
He added: "Is Peter cheating? No, because there isn't a rule and there should be a rule brought in for slow play.
"I think he's been playing for 25 years and he knows the shot he's going to play and I know the shot and the crowd know the shot, and he'll still take maybe over a minute.
"Because he was taking so long I was actually trying to think of one [a rule] when I was out there playing."
The Dott-Ebdon clash went over into an extra session, after the players failed to complete the match in the allotted two sessions.
But the repeat of the 2006 world final - which finished at 12.52am - still fell three hours short of the the longest first-round match in Crucible history in 1989 between Eddie Charlton and Cliff Thorburn - going on for a gruelling 10 hours, 24 minutes.
Dott believes officials need to step in when players are taking excessive time in playing shots.
"Peter's not the only one that does it [plays slowly]. There are other players high up the rankings that I think take liberties," he said.
"You can't say to someone that you've got a minute to play your shot because Peter will take that minute, he'll just run the clock down.
"There isn't a rule for toilet breaks so again Peter isn't breaking any rules. But there should be a rule.
"Referees back in the day were harder. I remember John Williams saying to Quentin Hann: 'No, play. You're not going to the toilet. You've just been to the toilet'.
"The referees nowadays just referee. They don't want any controversy."

Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India – April 1, 2019 — NanoRacks, the world's leading commercial space station company, completed its first CubeSat deployment mission on the India Space Research Organization's (ISROs) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). This mission was brokered on behalf of Spire, which now has four more of their LEMUR 3U CubeSats in orbit.
NanoRacks announced sun synchronous polar orbit launch opportunities after receiving significant customer demand and strong feedback for the customer support that the Company offers. Polar orbit offerings come in addition to NanoRacks' proven success in small satellite deployments, having deployed over 230 satellites to date.
Spire's CubeSats offer data and analytics for parts of the world where collecting data is notoriously difficult, tracking ships, planes, and weather in remote regions which often go unmonitored. To date, of the 100 satellites Spire has launched, 37 were on NanoRacks missions from the Space Station, the Cygnus Spacecraft, and now PSLV.
This PSLV opportunity was completed in coordination with Berlin-based Astro-und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH (Astrofein) to manufacture and supply deployers, and the launch opportunity with Antrix Corporation Limited (Antrix), the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
NanoRacks' commercial small satellite deployment opportunities in low-Earth orbit have sparked accelerated growth for numerous startup companies, provided educational opportunities, and driven the market for commercial access to space.

Q: NHibernate repository SaveOrUpdate object graph I'm learning (Fluent)NHibernate, and current challenge is to understand how to write Repositories and DataService classes. If I have retrieved an object graph, and changes has been made; Both to the root object collection, and child collections; some deleted, some added, some updated. Can I just throw this whole object into a session.SaveOrUpdate?
That's what I currently do, and it gives me a number of different exceptions. I just need to know what are the steps I need to take to do this properly? Do I need to drill down and save each child collection individually? Or even each child entity?
Would be really helpful with some simple examples on this.

A: There are a ton of great examples to be Googled, but the Getting Started area at NHForge.org is a great place to start. Try searching for NHibernate Cascade or FluentNHibernate Cascade.
To directly answer your question, though, you need to ensure you've enabled an appropriate cascade type on properties in your mappings or (my preference) in your NHibernate configuration through FluentNH's conventions. Once that's configured, you should be able to SaveOrUpdate() a top level entity and the deletes/updates/creates will all be pushed to the database.

'For Sama': A love letter from filmmaker to daughter on life and war in Aleppo
Hamza al-Kateab (left) and Waad al-Kateab (right) with their daughter, Sama. Waad al-Kateab is the filmmaker of "For Sama," a documentary about life in the bisieged city of Aleppo, Syria.

Imagine, just for a minute, living inside a war zone. Going to work every day, caring for your family, trying to be normal in a situation that is anything but normal. That was the experience of filmmaker Waad al-Kateab and her husband, Hamza, a doctor, who made the decision to stay in the besieged city of Aleppo, Syria.
Related: After 8 years of war, one Syrian says 'we really just wanted freedom'
Waad al-Kateab decided to film her own life in Aleppo constantly for five years, in which she fell in love, married a doctor, gave birth, and survived the months-long siege, airstrikes and snipers, while living in an upper floor of the last hospital in the city.
The result is "For Sama," a film that captures the personal details of life in the besieged city of 300,000 people. It's also a love letter to her baby daughter, Sama.
Related: Torn apart by the Syrian war, these siblings struggle to stay connected across 6 different countries

Courtesy of FRONTLINE/"For Sama"
Kateab and her husband, Hamza, spoke with The World's host Marco Werman about why they stayed in Aleppo, and what they hope their daughter, now two years old, will one day understand about their ordeal and survival in the Syrian civil war.
As the film opens, Waad al-Kateab sings to her daughter, Sama.
Marco Werman: After the singing, you hear an explosion in a hospital in Aleppo. Tell us about that scene. What was happening?
Waad al-Kateab: So, it was just a normal day when I was sitting with my baby in the room playing together. And you start [to] hear the aircrafts flying over. And then they started the explosion far [away], [and then] closer, closer, closer.
Immerse us deeper in the city of Aleppo in this time. What does it look like when all this violence, all these attacks are happening?
It looks like a very beautiful city — whatever happened. But with all this beauty and the great people who were just trying to stay alive every day. There [were] more than 300,000 people who were living in [a] besieged city. The hospital was targeted, the civil defense centers were targets, schools were targets, normal people [and] places were targets. So, [it was] just a struggle to stay alive, [a] struggle to challenge the regime, the Russians who are bombing this area and keep your life normal as much as you can.
Tell me about daily life as you're trying to struggle for normalcy. What you do for food? Where do you get money? Where did you get diapers?
Before the siege, everything was available because of the trade between Turkey and Syria. So you can find everything you want in Aleppo, any kind of fruit or food. But then, when the siege happened and the Assad regime and Russian forces controlled ... Aleppo, all the fruit, vegetables — anything fresh, you can't find it.
There's an incredible scene where one of the women in the house that you're focused on gets a persimmon. And it's like she's just received a diamond.
Hamza, you ran the hospital. For you, as a doctor and a new father, what was your daily routine like and how hard was it for you to balance the atrocities you had to deal with in the hospital? You said 6,000 patients came through while you were there. And meanwhile, Sama, your daughter — not to mention Waad, your wife — is exposed upstairs to the shelling and the bombs.
I can't really understand mentally how we got through all of this. But you feel like you have to do what you have to do. When there is a massacre, I can't think about anything else. It's just focusing on the casualties at the moment. The most horrifying thing [is knowing that] we are the target of the Russian and Syrian regimes. Everyone in Aleppo knew that. Some patients ... [refused] to be admitted at the hospital, even if they needed [an operation]. When they [were] awake, they're just like, "Take us out of here, please."
They knew they would be targeted.
Exactly. Like, our chances are better if we are at home or even close to the frontline, because we know that the regime and the Russians will target the hospital.
Throughout all this tension and misery in the film, there are scenes of really joyful moments. There's a flashback to the day you actually set up the hospital and your friends are really energized and they're laughing. They're happy. What was that day like?
Hamza and his friends — the other doctors and some nurses —decided they [needed] to set up a place ... people needed to know where [there's a] hospital. I was not responsible for anything. I was just going around filming them while they were trying to do [it].
You filmed everything. I mean, you had 500 hours of videotape out of this documentary.
Yeah. For me, it was really something I needed to do because I was seeing them doing this great, amazing job.
There's another joyful moment, of course, when you become a couple, you get married. We see your wedding. What was that day like?
That was one of the craziest days of our life. I remember that day and I can't be happy enough. We really [tried] our best to find a way to stay alive in that area. And [one way] was to make a small wedding with 15 of our friends. I borrowed [a] dress from my friend. She was just married three months before that. [It was] a very simple wedding of just people trying to be happy.
One thing about your film that was kind of a revelation to me was just the determination of people like you to stay in Aleppo — to not leave.
Hamza: Basically, it became an act of resilience. The Russians and the regime didn't want to [only] break the armed opposition. They wanted to break the people's will. So, everyone who was living there knew, "This is my act of resilience and I'm living here." ... Even the car mechanics [would say], "Hey, I'm helping everyone to stay here because I'm repairing their cars."
Waad: But for many reasons: Hamza is a doctor and any doctor ... would make a difference in this situation. I had the camera. I [had] a lot of responsibility to continue filming these people, people who we lived with for five years, who we struggled together [with] in many, many different situations.
Hamza: There are so many families, thousands of families. So we decided, we will be part of this community. And as a family, we'll be there together.
At the end of the day, this film is a letter of sorts from you to your daughter, Sama. It is titled, "For Sama." You say at times in the film that you feel terrible for the world that you brought her into. How do you think she will react when she's old enough to really absorb what you're telling her in this movie?
Waad: I'm really trying not to put any expectation about this. I will keep her free to express anything she will feel. I need to let Sama watch it every two or three years, how she [will] see [it] when she [will] be 15 or 20 or 25. I'm so interested to hear from her.

-Literally: The percentage of times that literally is used correctly verges on zero. Ninety-nine percent of the time (I'm estimating), it is misused to mean figuratively. In almost all of the other one percent, literally is used as a sloppy intensifier. The only correct use of literally that comes to mind is the sign-off of George Burns and Gracie Allen, former vaudevillians who had a television sitcom in the 1950s. She played the role of a ditz. At the end of the show, George would say, "Say good night, Gracie," and she would say, "Good night, Gracie." She took George's instruction literally. Such opportunities to use literally correctly don't come up often.
I hear people saying things like "OMG I literally almost died last night, I was so tired." Let's be honest, I don't think that you literally almost died. Just saying.
Anyways, go to the Huffington Post to see the rest of their list, and see what words you have been using incorrectly! If you have anymore words that you feel are used incorrectly, feel free to comment below!


According to an independent survey commissioned by Transaction Network Services, 41% of people confirmed that if an ATM is out of service, it deters them from using it in the future, with 25 to 34 year old's most influenced. This is a vital statistic considering that ATM usage is already less popular with millennials due to innovations like mobile payments and online banking.
With this statistic in mind, it's more important now than ever to have ATMs that run efficiently with minimal downtime. This can mean regular ATM maintenance, having a solid connectivity provider, and choosing the right vendor.
1) Regularly schedule preventive maintenance. Your ATM uses a number of mechanical parts such as rollers and belts that over time breakdown and wear out. Having maintenance regularly scheduled will help you proactively replace these items before they fail which will drastically reduce down time.
2) Choose a managed wireless connectivity provider. Your ATM is going to need a managed wireless connectivity provider to ensure uptime. Connectivity is such an integral part of ATM functionality; you'll want a partner that can ensure quality connectivity. You'll want a provider that can provide you with 24/7 support so that you can get help day or night for your ATM, whenever you need it most. For information on managed wireless connectivity, visit http://www.optconnect.com/Solutions/OptConnect-Solutions-ATM.
3) Choose your vendor carefully. You'll want a vendor that has experience working on your type of ATM. Your service provider should offer an experienced and well-trained technician. They should have quick response times, quick resolution of issues and an available supply of parts.
The combination of taking care of your ATMs with preventive maintenance, having a managed wireless connectivity provider, and choosing the right vendor can make a world of difference when it comes to the uptime of your ATMs.
In addition to these 3 tips, you should also have a well-trained staff. Employees that are knowledgeable and can quickly fix problems such as currency, paper jams and much more will also greatly increase your operational uptime. I may sound like a lot, but you'll want to have all these resources in place before you deploy your ATMs to ensure their efficiency.

Lengthy story brief; French residents have revolted for the fourth week in a row calling for modifications in governmental and company design. Regardless that UN Army and hundreds of French police have been deployed in response, the police have truly been filmed eradicating their helmets in solidarity with the French individuals.
On this mild, all police, army personnel, academics, docs, social staff, teachers, journalists, bureaucrats, politicians and different individuals who work inside the system (in addition to everybody else) ought to try to really perceive what this more and more international motion is definitely about and stand with the individuals who are trying to facilitate real change in our troubled world.
Shifting on, the mainstream media have usually restricted their reporting on the calls for of the 'Gilets Jaunes' (Yellow Vests) to a rejection of a gasoline tax, elevating the minimal wage and the removing of the Prime Minister, Emmanuel Macron.
And of course there's been a disproportionate concentrate on looting and different 'uncivil' behaviour.
Nevertheless, the unbiased media is telling a extra complete story than the mainstream platforms, which comes as no shock. In any case, 'fake news' isn't simply false reporting, it's additionally the dishonest dissemination of info reminiscent of mendacity by omission.
To make it clear, the protests are now additionally about pro-nationalism and anti-globalism, in addition to 'Frexit' (the French exit from the European Union). Additionally they reject the propaganda of the mainstream media, debt owed to the EU, austerity basically and the ill-conceived carbon tax.
Nevertheless, it didn't begin off that approach. The Yellow Vest Movement (YVM) did come up from a rejection of the gasoline tax, however after Macron kind of offended the whole nation by calling them 'thugs' it was the straw that broke the camel's again for the French. This noticed the wave develop into tens if not tons of of hundreds of dissenters, which is now being known as the 'French revolution 2.0'.
We should always not simply admire, however study from the French's wealthy historical past of activism and their present software of it.
To be truthful although, there's the good, the dangerous and the ugly with the YVM. They need actual change for the good, which is the good. The dangerous is that they haven't but recognized the key priorities required for actual systemic change. The ugly is the looting – which violates the Non-Aggression Precept (NAP) – and different counter-productive behaviour.
Furthermore, throughout the previous month the YVM has unfold to many different European nations, together with Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Poland and Serbia. It's additionally starting to unfold to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and even the Center East. Because it continues to develop throughout the world, as is argued under it must be achieved with a transparent, common focus to actualise actual, systemic change.
Bigger lists have emerged which can not essentially characterize all of the French revolutionists, however there's some actually well-thought-out calls for right here which assist them not simply as an entire, however totally different demographics too (together with the homeless and the police). It's truly very civil.
And that's undoubtedly a requirement of their revolt; in the event you don't have an agreed message that's affordable in the context of your cultural requirements then no quantity of road activism could have the desired impact.
Many individuals round the world really feel in comparable methods too, therefore the enlargement of the YVM. Furthermore, it's not simply the 'conspiratorial subculture' who believes there's actually massive flaws with the design of our governments (together with how they've allowed personal stakeholders to monopolise banks and business at the public's expense); it spreads proper all through the plenty too.
For instance, the older generations have been conscious of the corruption and lies for many years. The youthful generations are 'woking' themselves, even when it's usually coupled with a slender or misguided focus. After which of course there's a big, penetrating group of deeply impressed and passionate individuals of all ages who've peered past the veil of officialdom and subsequently see the world by means of a bigger lens.
But, there isn't a coherent settlement amongst the individuals. Positive, big proportions of the inhabitants reject the means issues work in several methods, however the issues and subsequently options are totally different in response to every individual you speak with.
We CAN seize the basic vibe although; populist dissent is towards the political and company elite.
utilizing their corporate-controlled media to form the mindset of the plenty with false and dangerous narratives on life.
In different phrases we've got a corporatocracy, not a democracy. Let that sink in correctly for a second.
Subsequently, as I've written a number of occasions earlier than, if we would like actual change inside our social system we have to give attention to the 4M's, which are Cash (banking and finance), Drugs (prescriptive and preventative follow, together with meals), Administration (schooling and authorities coverage) and Media (knowledgeable selection and genuine public discourse). I'll elaborate on this just a little later.
Decentralisation (which means all providers from authorities and in any other case ought to be regionally organised).
Media: all media monopolies are dismantled so that a plurality of opinions and genuine investigative journalism is accessible to all residents.
If actual change is to happen, we ALL have to demand these modifications regardless of the place we reside. For many who don't perceive the cash and banking problem, please learn this instance of what a publicly owned and operated central financial institution used to appear to be in Australia at the begin of the Twentieth Century.
And keep in mind: there actually are some elementary issues AND options that the whole world – as an actual group – might put up for civil, however assertive Evaluation, Settlement and Motion (the 3A's for creating societal change). That might be our key problem as we transfer right into a future the place regardless of our perceived and actual variations, we nonetheless honour our position as a human household.
Resolve extreme socioeconomic emergencies, corresponding to homelessness and entrenched poverty.
The instant cessation of privatising public utilities and re-nationalisation of public infrastructure and strategic belongings, like hospitals, motorways, airports, rail, farms, ports, water and energy.
Abolition of all taxes and substitute with a transaction tax (also referred to as the 'Tobin Tax') so that each one people and firms contribute pretty.
On this system, all digital transactions (together with money withdrawals) are hit with a flat payment, making certain that each one tax loopholes are closed. With the quantity of cash that strikes round annually (particularly via speculative foreign money trade transactions) the calculations point out that with a flat payment of just some per cent, tax income would double and even triple present ranges. Sure, it truly is that a lot (as a consequence of the speculative spending on Wall Road and by the personal banking cartels).
Break up the 'too-big-to-fail' banks and re-separate common banking from funding banking (with a view to creating and inspiring the public use of public banks).
Thorough unbiased investigations into authorities and company corruption, human trafficking, pedophilia networks and different tragedies of our world.
As alluded to, the authorized system must be revolutionised in order that it's absolutely aligned to particular person and group sovereignty, in addition to decentralisation rules.
Dismantling of all monopolistic parasites, corresponding to the company media, massive tech, prescription drugs, agriculture, petro-chemicals, power and others.
Full scale unbiased however authorities supported analysis and evaluation into psychotropic and different pure medicines, various power methods and different suppressed applied sciences and assets.
Widespread adoption of localised and regionalised permaculture methods to resolve environmental considerations, create wholesome meals techniques and improve group sovereignty.
Get rid of carcinogenic pesticides and endocrine disruptors.
Schooling for youngsters and adults ought to embrace a plurality of opinions, paradigm questioning, giant give attention to life and well being expertise and encouragement of cooperation and creativity.
As soon as once more the monopolised media has confirmed themselves to be a mouthpiece of propaganda by the powers-that-will-no-longer-be. There's been little investigative reporting, even when some journalists are making an attempt to get a extra truthful message via. The unhappy half nevertheless is that many of these so-called journalists truly consider the soiled deception that they spray out of their germ-filled mouths.
However again to the story. I need to make this tremendous clear: the above is just a collection of options to invoke additional exploration and dialogue. I actually hope that it does precisely that, regardless of my very own biases and shortcomings.
Now the recap. The first step we have to take is to acknowledge that an enormous proportion of the inhabitants need actual, systemic change. That may be a collective dialogue we NEED to have, however is NOT an ongoing dialogue in the mainstream media (kind of anyplace in the Western World).
That needs to be a critical concern to any affordable individual.
The subsequent step is figuring out the core points and their potential options (which is the central function of this text). Then a full spectrum software of the 3A's ought to regularly happen and be reported on and facilitated by all info sources, together with the mainstream platforms.
So, is the YVM doing this? Sadly, not but. However I'm hoping this text will encourage extra people and teams to take action. The ironic facet is that so many of us are screaming for actual change, however once we do it with out specializing in the core design flaws, then our voices could be heard, however solely softly.
Nevertheless, if all of us targeted on the greater image – the macro coverage design – then it wouldn't simply turn into a family track, it might end result with a collective improve by way of a linguistic revolution and end result with a extra simply and honourable social system for our future generations.
And another factor: all the time keep in mind the biggest rebel towards a sick system is to take nice care of your bodily, psychological, emotional, philosophical and religious well being after which radiate it to the relaxation of actuality.

Q: Program stuck on PreparedStatement the second time it comes to it I am writing a program that connects to a database also used by another different program so I need to make a quick consult then close the database and repeat this process each few seconds with a timer. My problem is that the first time everything goes perfect, it finds the table im looking for and it gives me the results I want. Then i come back to check the database, and if there's nothing new on the table everything goes good, but the second the table has something in it, the program gets stuck on the line st1=conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM Glory) until it runs out of memory and throws an error.

What is the Best Dog Food for Labs?
» What is the Best Dog Food for Labs?
So you just bought a beautiful Labrador puppy or a full grown lab, and now you are scratching your head on what kind of food to feed it. Worry not, we've got you covered. We love labs and sharing!
Labradors are an active breed. Their sweet nature, high level of intelligence, and adorable looks explain why this dog breed is so popular.
In fact, the Labrador Retriever has held on to the number one spot on the most popular dog breed in the US for twenty-six consecutive years, according to AKC registration statistics. They are truly America's favorite dog.
But, with over one hundred different types of dog foods in the US market alone, deciding on what's the best dog food for Labs might be a daunting task. But you want the best for your dogs, so you'll want to feed them only the best food.
Every dog breed is unique, so you have to tailor the food you give your dog to its specific breed.
Labrador Retrievers, for example, have very specific nutritional needs to keep them healthy and active. You may need to alter your food choices based on your dog's activity level.
Since Labradors are high energy breeds, your dog could benefit a lot from food that is rich in proteins.
In this post, we are going to enlighten you on the most important nutritional requirements for Labs.
Once you bring your new dog into your family, it's advisable not to introduce him to his new food immediately.
The change of environment is odd enough for him, so adding a new diet into that equation might make things more complicated for everyone involved.
The best thing to do is to ask the breeder what type of food the dog has been eating and stick to it for a while.
Once your new best friend is settled, you can switch to the dog food of your choice.
If you are in the market for the best dog food for Labs, consider foods that are rich in proteins.
All dogs, Labradors included, require a decent food with plenty of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Protein is the most important nutritional recommendation for Labs. They need plenty of protein to maintain lean muscle mass that keeps their bodies active and in good health.
Your dog's protein should come from named animal sources such as fish, poultry, meat, and eggs.
Animal based proteins are more valuable than plant-based nutrients because they contain all the 10 essential amino acids that your dog needs, but cannot synthesize them himself.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are also important in your Lab's food to maintain a balanced diet.
Check to ensure carbohydrates in your Lab's diet come from whole grains, legumes, beans or starchy vegetables. Avoid foods where carbs come from refined grains like wheat and corn as they are known to trigger food allergies in dogs.
It's important to know that all dogs have the capacity to become overweight, but the Labrador Retriever is highly susceptible to dog obesity. These dogs are heavy eaters and will scarf down anything you feed them, even when not hungry.
If your Labrador is overweight, you might want to consider a reduced calorie formula that is also rich in protein. It's also advisable to reduce the amount you feed him and engage him in more daily exercises.
In general, your Labrador friend should consume about 30 calories per pound of bodyweight.
However, if he is fairly lazy or less active, you should reduce that number to less than 25 calories per pound of bodyweight, then monitor his weight.
Here are some of the best dog food for Labs that you should buy.

Secondly, the salmon formula is a rich source of essential fatty acids. This grain-free formula provides the right balance of carbohydrates and calories to meet your dog's daily dietary needs.

Stone labyrinth "Babylon"
On the shore of Maly Pitkul Bay, 4 km from the city of Kandalaksha there is a stone labyrinth "Babylon", whose age reaches 4000 years. Administratively owned by the Kandalaksha district of the Murmansk region.
It was believed that the Kandalaksha labyrinth was created by primitive man and is a diagram of a trap used for fishing. Scientists believe that religious ceremonies were held here – ancient people hoped in this way to secure their success in the field.
In all the "Babylon", there are indeed intricate, intricate moves laid out in a special way from stone. Spirals can be found in several places on the Kola Peninsula. Their mystery has not yet been solved, there are hypotheses about the use of structures in fishing witchcraft, which controlled the winds, in ritual dances. There is also a hypothesis about the location of labyrinths in burial places, so that the souls of the dead get lost, wound in a spiral, and do not disturb the living.
The maze is lined with medium-sized stones on the shores of Kandalaksha Bay. Pomors called it "Babylon", i.e. sinuous, wavy. But opinions about the origin of such a name differ. According to one version, the Pomeranian name for the labyrinth "Babylon" is a slightly distorted Celtic term. The island (city) of Avalon, where fairies live, the island of the blessed, which is opened only to the elite, is known in Celtic mythology. The name of the magic city itself is derived from the Celtic word apple (abal, atal), which ideally matches the shape of the maze, very similar to the schematic section of the apple. If we add that in the Celtic legends about the "island of the blessed" the wonderful apples giving immortality are narrated, then the name, form and legend of the ancient structure turn out to be closely interconnected. Then it turns out that the maze from ancient times was considered a pointer to the proximity of other spaces and dimensions.
