Case Summary and Outcome
The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights ("ACmHPR" or the "Commission") held Zimbabwe responsible for the violation of Articles 1 and 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights ("the Charter"). The present case concerned the human rights violations occurring in Zimbabwe from the Constitutional Referendum of 2000 until after the Parliamentary elections in June 2002. The violations were against opponents of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front ("ZANU (PF)"), including human rights activists, farmers, doctors, and teachers who were harassed, subjected to torture, and murdered by ZANU (PF) supporters. Any civilian whose political choices were not aligned with those of the ZANU (PF) party were targeted during these attacks, and further prevented from demanding redress due to the Clemency Order No. 1 of 2000, which consisted of an amnesty act that pardoned perpetrators charged with politically motivated crimes. Nonetheless, the Applicant's submissions regarding the right to freedom of expression enshrined in Article 9 of the Charter were dismissed by the Commission, on the ground that non-state actors perpetrated the human rights violations alleged by the victims. Hence, even though the Commission repudiated the human rights violations committed by ZANU (PF) followers, the State party could not be charged with their offenses as their actions were not directly linked to the government.
The author of the communication was the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum, an alliance of 12 NGOs based in Zimbabwe. At the time of the events, a Constitutional Referendum was organized to revise the constitutional amendments proposed by the new government of Zimbabwe. The majority of Zimbabweans rejected the constitutional amendments, as shown by the Constitutional Referendum results. Nonetheless, the Constitutional Referendum incited violence and chaos within Zimbabwe, particularly against supporters of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and any other opponent of the ZANU (PF) party.
During the parliamentary elections held between February and June of 2000, the ZANU (PF) party committed systematic acts of violence against its opponents to obtain political advantages. ZANU (PF)'s persecution and harassment of its opponents consisted of "dragging farm workers and villagers believed to be supporters of the opposition from their homes at night, forcing them to attend reeducation sessions and to sing ZANU (PF) songs. The Complainant alleges that men, women, and children were tortured, and there were cases of rape. Homes and businesses in both urban and rural areas were burnt and looted, and opposition members were kidnapped, tortured, and killed."[para. 5] Human rights activists, doctors, nurses, and other civilians whose political choices were not aligned with those of the ZANU (PF) party or who were perceived as members of the MDC were also targeted during these attacks.
Likewise, supporters of the MDC were "…forced to attend all night rallies where they were given information on why they should support ZANU (PF) and not the opposition MDC. Furthermore, the victims were forced to surrender their parties' campaign materials and were prevented from communicating to others their parties' policies." [para. 102] As per the Applicant's submissions, ZANU (PF) followers received aid from the Central Intelligence Organization (CIO), the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), and the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) to perform these attacks.
Between March and November of 2001, around 82 deaths were reported as a result of the systematic human rights violations committed by the ZANU (PF) party and its supporters, among which war veterans were known to be the primary perpetrators. The victims and their families lodged many complaints to the High Court concerning the acts of violence orchestrated by the ZANU (PF) party and its followers; however, many witnesses and victims were prevented from delivering their testimonies due to death threats and intimidation.
The Respondent State endorsed the facts as submitted by the Applicant, mainly that the Zimbabwean judiciary did not possess the means to address the many complaints brought by the victims and their families in a time when large scale human rights violations were being perpetrated by members and supporters of the ZANU (PF) party.
Furthermore, police investigations into the ZANU (PF) party's actions were frustrated by the Clemency Order No. 1 of 2000, an amnesty law that pardoned perpetrators charged with politically motivated crimes committed between January and July of 2000. Likewise, the Clemency Order No. 1 allowed the revision of imprisonment times of criminals already convicted of political offenses. Even though the amnesty excluded, inter alia, the crimes of murder, rape, robbery, and possession of firearms, among other offenses, not many criminals were ever accused and prosecuted for these offenses.
Consequently, in light of the Clemency Order No. 1, the victims could not exhaust domestic legal remedies before submitting a petition to the Commission. On 3 January 2002, the Applicant complained to the Commission, arguing the Respondent State had violated Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 13 of the Charter. In November 2013, the Commission declared the petition admissible given the many difficulties faced by the victims in demanding redress for the ZANU (PF) party's actions.
Decision Overview
As regards the right to freedom of expression, the Applicant complained that "… the victims in the present communication were abused because they held and sought to impart political views and opinions that were unfavorable to those of the Respondent State", resulting in a violation of Articles 9, 10, and 11 of The Charter. [para. 102] In this respect, the Applicant cited the case of International PEN and others on behalf of Ken Saro-Wiwa v Nigeria in which the Commission ruled that the right to freedom of expression and the right to association and assembly are closely intertwined; thus, a violation of the right to freedom of expression is often followed by an infringement of Articles 10 and 11 of the Charter.
On the other hand, the Respondent State maintained that even though ZANU (PF) is the ruling party in Zimbabwe, the State cannot be held responsible for the actions and offenses committed by its members and supporters. In other words, the crimes perpetrated by ZANU (PF) supporters with the aid of war veterans cannot be attributable to Zimbabwe. Consequently, the Respondent State requested the dismissal of the Applicant's allegations.
In the instant case, the central issue for consideration was whether the acts of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front and the Zimbabwe Liberation War Veterans Association could give rise to the international responsibility of Zimbabwe in light of the parties' submissions. According to the Commission, the concept of "non-state actors" comprises organizations and individuals who act beyond their governmental mandate or in their capacity as private persons. Private persons can bear international responsibility for the wrongful acts they have committed, in which case the State party can only be held responsible for not discharging its positive obligations pursuant to the Charter.
It emerges from the above arguments that States parties to the Charter cannot bear international responsibility for the acts committed by private or natural individuals within their jurisdictions. As per Article 1 of The Charter, States parties are required to deploy all available and necessary resources to prevent and punish human rights violations. The so-called positive obligations require States parties to undertake appropriate measures towards the adequate protection and preservation of the rights ratified. Hence, if a State party is said to have fulfilled its positive obligations, such as the duty to investigate human rights violations and prevent any foreseeable offense, a complaint stating otherwise could be dismissed.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission concluded that "…the ZANU (PF) is a political party (the ruling party) in Zimbabwe and just like any other party in the country, distinct from the government. It has an independent identity from the government with its own structures and administrative machinery, even though some of the members of the Zimbabwe Government – cabinet ministers, also hold top ranking positions in the party." [para. 138] In addition, the Commission noted that the Applicant did not provide sufficient evidence to hold its arguments on the alleged links between the ZANU (PF) party and the government.
Moreover, during the hearing at the 35th Ordinary Session of the Commission, the Applicant withdrew its argument on the ZANU (PF) party acting on agency, thus admitting that the ZANU (PF) party followers and the war veterans operated independently of the State. Also, the Applicant reformulated its complaint alleging that the Respondent State was responsible not for the human rights violations perpetrated by the ZANU (PF) supporters, but because it failed at protecting human rights holders within its jurisdiction from the crimes of private individuals, mainly because of the lack of effective judicial remedies and diligent investigation of the facts.
In this respect, the Commission held that States' positive obligations entail "…the creation and maintenance of an atmosphere or framework of an effective interplay of laws and regulations so that individuals will be able to freely realize their rights and freedoms." [para. 152] Thus, having found that non-state actors committed the human rights violations claimed by the Applicant, the Commission ruled that "…in the present communication, the violations alleged to have been committed were done by individuals or organizations not directly connected to the State Party. For this reason, the State cannot be said to have violated Articles 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the African Charter." [para. 187]
The Commission, therefore, dismissed the Applicant's claims concerning the alleged violation of Article 9 of the Charter owing to the fact that the human rights violations examined herein were perpetrated by non-state actors, in which case Zimbabwe had only to demonstrate it deployed all necessary and available means to guarantee right holders within its jurisdiction the fulfillment of their ratified rights. Nonetheless, the Commission declared the international responsibility of Zimbabwe for violating Articles 1 and 7 of The Charter relative to the obligations of Member States (positive obligations) and the right to a fair trial, respectively.
Decision Direction indicates whether the decision expands or contracts expression based on an analysis of the case.
Mixed Outcome
The decision expanded the right to freedom of expression in the sense that the Commission recognized and repudiated the acts of torture, harassment, and murder perpetrated against the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) supporters and other civilians whose political opinions were not aligned with those of Zimbabwe's ruling party: ZANU (PF). In this sense, the Commission ruled that the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly and association are often intertwined and that due to their relationship, a violation of the right to freedom of assembly and association often implies an infringement of the right to freedom of expression. However, in the present case, the triggering events were orchestrated by individuals acting independently of the State. In concert with the international consensus on violations committed by non-state actors, the Commission held that Zimbabwe did not infringe Article 9 of the Charter. Nonetheless, the Commission went well beyond the wording of Article 1 of the Charter and implemented international standards on States' positive obligations, resulting in the engagement of Zimbabwe's international responsibility under Articles 1 and 7 of the Charter.
Global Perspective demonstrates how the court's decision was influenced by standards from one or many regions.

Regardless of what your passion may be, there is one global truth. Somewhere on the Internet, be it on the front page of the most popular website or in the trenches of some wordpress/4chan/reddit/tumbler page there is someone who shares your passion and can act as an inspiration. My passion, my life list, is no exception. There are many people who inspire me and today I'd like to introduce you to them.
What has been your favorite bucket list adventure thus far?
Choosing between what I have done and experienced thus far, I would have to pick Burning Man as one of my top bucketlist adventures. What is Burning Man? To me it is a utopia but Burning Man is different for everyone. It's unreal how friendly, happy, and considerate people are at Burning Man. People are free to fully express themselves in a peaceful manner. There are a variety of free educational workshops that are held throughout the week. Artist construct mind blowing pieces of art work and mutant automobiles. It gave me a glimpse of what we could have on this Earth, which a collaboration of peace and harmony. There is only problem though. What I say about Burning Man and the pictures & videos that you can see will never do Burning Man any justice. This place you need to experience, otherwise you will never know.
"This was a tough decision, as I have been fortunate to travel to 6 continents, and over 45 countries, however probably my most favorite adventure was my experience at the Okavango Delta in Botswana. I have never loved an experience so much that I cried when I left (and I'm not your typical sappy chick that cries over every Nicholas Sparks flick). The best word I can describe my experience at the Okavango Delta is MAGICAL.
The journey started with a flight in a tiny 5 seater plane over the Delta landing on an airstrip by the camp. Of course, this is the Delta, and literally in the middle of nowhere, so our landing was complicated by a herd of Elephants parading around the strip. From there we took a boat ride to the camp that we would spend the next three days. My "tent" was beautiful and had a proper toilet, running water, electricity, an outdoor shower, and a patio overlooking the Delta. During the night I was serenaded by the animals playing in the water, or walking by the tents in search of food. Because the tents were virtually out in the wild, we had armed guards walk us to our tents.
From the main viewing area of the camp we could watch baboons playing in trees, and elephants taking baths just meters away. The camp also offered activities including multiple mokoro rides (one during sunset that I had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream), a motor boat ride in search of hippos, and two days of walking safaris. During our last day of walking safaris, we were surrounded by elephants, and had to run and climb to the top of an abandoned termite mount to seek safety.
If you aren't already, I highly recommend following these folks. They are inspirations of mine and if your experience is anything like mine, you will learn a lot from them.
Is there anyone I should add to this list? If so, who? I'd love to read about their adventures!
Just the kind of list I have been looking for. I'm new to the blogging world and interested in finding some blogs to stalk. Thanks again!
Wow, great to see some other life listers and what they have done so far.
Shane at BucketListBackPacker.com, The burning MAn is one of my things todo. Although I have to go in a Mad Max style vehicle!
I love this! I saw it shared by someone else when I was looking for other bucket listers out there. I'm so glad to find some new blogs I hadn't come across yet and am so looking forward to checking things off of my own list and sharing them within the blogosphere! I've been reading blogs for a good while now, but in the name of new venures I recently decided to turn my hand to writing my own.

Would it be possible to have a replenishment setting during the list process ?
We do have a REPLENISHMENT setting in LIST settings. This support article outlines the process and how to turn it on.
I understand how to replenish inventory, but what I want to do is set the Amazon replenishment alert field during list instead of having to go into the Amazon inventoryisting to set the alert for the items I'm going to continue to replenish in the future.
Ah, ok, that is a different feature. I will put a feature request through for that.

Q: Need to show a textbox on double click for the particular primeng tree node I have a primeng tree node. When I click the node label, it should turn into a text box but for only to that node. I tried with a Boolean flag, it works but shows up all textbox. Is there a simple fix to show up the text box only for that node?
Here is my code
.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NodeService } from './nodeservice';
import { TreeNode } from 'primeng/api';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
  nodes: TreeNode[];
  showText = false;

  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.nodes = [
      {
        key: '0',
        label: 'Introduction',
        children: [
          { key: '0-0', label: 'What is Angular' },
          { key: '0-1', label: 'Getting Started' },
          { key: '0-2', label: 'Learn and Explore' },
          { key: '0-3', label: 'Take a Look' },
        ],
      },
    ];
  }

  showTextbox() {
    this.showText = true;
  }
}

.html

  <ng-template let-node pTemplate="default">

      {{ node.label }}

    <input type="text" [value]="node.label" />

  </ng-template>

Here is the stackblitz link.

A: This can be achieved by using new flags.
.html

    {{ node.label }}

  <input type="text"
    [value]="node.label"
    (blur)="updateNode($event.target.value, node.key)"
  />

.ts
showTextForNodeId = undefined;
showText = false;

showTextbox(key) {
  this.showTextForNodeId = key;
  this.showText = true;
}

updateNode(newName, key) {
  this.findAndUpdateNode(this.nodes, newName, key);

  this.showTextForNodeId = undefined;
  this.showText = false;
}

findAndUpdateNode(nodes, newName, key) {
  for (let i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
    if (nodes[i].key == key) {
      nodes[i].label = newName;
    } else if (nodes[i].children) {
      this.findAndUpdateNode(nodes[i].children, newName, key);
    }
  }
}

P.S.: Please check for the edge cases, if they exist.

We never set the alarm clock in the morning. One of us is always awake between 6:00am and 6:30am, and of course gets the other one awake. Sleeping in for us is maybe 6:45am!
This morning, it was 7:40am!! Unbelievable!
This is the Canada Day long weekend up here in the great white north. Not so white at this time of year of course, in fact it's been kind of grey the last few weeks. Lots of rain in the month of June, but so far the weather forecast for the long weekend is looking pretty good.
We had a few campers arrive yesterday in advance of the crowds, but we will be sold out by tonight. It's going to be pretty much non stop for us the next three days. But we're ready. Managed to get the landscaping looking pretty good (grass cutting, weed eating, trimming etc) despite trying to do it in between rain storms. The wood shed is full and ready for the campers. We're set.
I was backing the truck up in the mud in front of the woodshed when the front end dropped like a rock. It was almost like quicksand! Yes, it's a 4x4, and yes, I almost couldn't get out! But I did...I just have to be very careful in that spot from now on! There's a real soft spot because there's some kind of underground stream running in that area, and the water level on the lake keeps coming up which is just on the other side of the wood shed. I'll show you more of that tomorrow maybe!
The nice folks in Namibia asked for our travel dates yesterday. Looks like we'll be leaving New York City on November 6th, and returning March 6th. So, 4 months in Africa. We have to fly back to New York, so we'll somehow have to make our way from New York to Mexico...but that's a long way off so we'll figure something out.
Okay...off to work...have a great day all!
Wow that truck situation looks dire. Glad you were able to get it out. Speaks well for F-150. We're pretty sick to death of rain here in New England too. Had to cancel a really nice kayak paddle on a sweet river because every time we started out, it would start raining again. ENOUGH ALREADY! Hope it doesn't come your way. Interesting that Canada Day and US July 4th are so close together.
It wasn't too bad, we didn't have to get the tractor to pull it out or anything. The ground was just so soft and water logged it was like quicksand. Hopefully things will start to dry up now. Sunshine is in the forecast.
We slept in this morning also - must be something in the air. Jim is almost always up about 5:30 to 5:45 when he's going fishing. Today it was 6:30. Glad you didn't have to be pulled out.
We don't mind getting up at 6:30am but when you get up at 7:30am it tends to throw our day off a bit. the extra sleep was nice though. Hope Jim caught something when he went fishing.
It's been super rainy here as well. We have a few sites that are not rentable because they are pretty much under water. Kevin has been having a tough time getting the mowing done between storms. And, there are some areas that are just too wet to cut. Last year we had a drought and he didn't mow for 5 weeks. This year it won't stop raining. Go figure. The forecast is calling for three straight days without rain. Yahoo!!
We haven't lost the use of any sites yet but a few are a bit on the muddy side or just soggy. We have managed for the most part to keep up with the mowing but the other day Kevin tried to mow the top entrance area with the ride on mower and got stuck so that was put off for a couple more days. Even now there is still some muddy sections. Should get better, lots of sunshine in the forecast. Hope you will get this weather too!
*grumble* Rained all night and all morning here. Still cloudy.
Hope you have rubber boots. You'll need them.
Hope the weather improves for us both. So far yesterday and today have been gorgeous, no rubber boots needed!
Too much rain here in Florida too!
And the west is getting record high temperatures!
We would love to Grace. It sounds like it got even hotter today for you!
We can certainly use the rain in Texas if you want to get rid of any. Really enjoying your blog!
If only we could send it your way!
Glad you are enjoying the blog, hope we can keep it interesting over the summer while we are working. We will sure make up for it this fall and winter though.
Could you send some of the rain here? 110 degrees here today and the a.c. in motorhome is barely able to keep up.
I wish we could Nan! You need to move north or to higher ground to get some cooler temperatures.
So you won't see Sherman again until March?
Looks like a load of gravel might be needed in front of that shed. Glad you got the truck out okay. Happy Canada Day to you.
We could probably use a load of gravel in a few spots. It was all nice a dry just over two weeks ago. It will dry up again, soon I hope!
Do you guys have a tentative time frame for Valle de Juarez? I'm in thinking mode.
Probably sometime between March 6 and March 31 but no firm plans yet.
Truck situation seem very dangerous but is very good news you are all right. As you mention a oak tree, I want to talk about it. When I saw it in your blog, I find it on goggle and surprised to see such trees. How much spread around. My friend also give me information about Johns Island. Now I wish to see this place and tree in close.
The truck was actually not a dangerous thing, it just got stuck in a little bit of mud.
I hope that you get to see this tree one day, it is so totally amazing. We will have to check out Johns Island though, not sure that I have heard of it.

Q: How to prevent loading data by each request in MVC? I am profiling the database calls and I notice that we have a lot database calls per request. I think I can reduce the database calls by storing the person data (DTO) into a Session or cache.
We are using NHibernate and the problem is that the complete object graph for person is loaded each time we need a single property of the person. So I was wondering if there is a way to load the complete object graph once and then store it somewhere in memory so that not every request has to load the person object.
Is there some architectural best practice to accomplish this? Or are there some other best practices that deal with his kind of situations?

A: NHibernate offers a L2 cache that is valid for all ISession objects create from the same SessionFactory (that should be static). You can use a InMemory provider or even external providers such as AppFabric, SqlServer, Redis, etc.
I think this would be the simplest solution for you case, since you would only have to change the NHibernate configuration.

Die National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) ist ein Museum und eine Kunstgalerie in Melbourne im Stadtteil Southbank. Die 1861 eröffnete Galerie ist die älteste und größte öffentliche Galerie in Australien.

2017 hatte die Galerie 2,5 Millionen Besucher und gehört damit zu den meistbesuchten Kunstmuseen der Welt.

Name

Die Bezeichnung als Nationalgalerie von Victoria wird teilweise als irreführend angesehen, da Victoria keine souveräne Nation ist und Australien in Canberra die National Gallery of Australia (NGA) unterhält. Der Direktor der NGA wollte eine Änderung des Namens der NGV durchsetzen. Der Name der NGV, die 40 Jahre vor der Gründung des Commonwealth of Australia gegründet wurde, erinnert an die Zeit als Victoria eine eigene britische Kolonie war.

Sammlung

In dem Museum sind Werke aus allen Bereichen der Kunst bis hin zum Produktdesign ausgestellt. Insgesamt werden 65.000 Werke vorgehalten. Neben australischen Künstlern enthält das Museum auch Werke von den Europäern  Pablo Picasso, Giambattista Pittoni, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Marco Palmezzano, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Paolo Uccello und Paolo Veronese. Der teuerste Einzelankauf war ein Bild des Malers Paris Bordone für 3,8 Millionen AUD.

In der Abteilung Design werden historische Fahrzeuge, wie ein Bugatti Type 57, Möbel, wie der Lounge Chair der Eames oder der Schwan von Arne Jacobsen, sowie weitere Produkte gezeigt.

Picasso-Diebstahl

Ein Teil des Serienbilds "Die weinende Frau" von Pablo Picasso wurde am 4. August 1986 gestohlen. Zu der Tat bekannten sich die "Australian Cultural Terrorists", die mit der Aktion gegen die australische Kunstpolitik protestieren wollten. Eine Woche später wurde das Bild im Schließfach 227 des Bahnhofs Melbourne Southern Cross wiedergefunden, nachdem ein anonymer Anrufer den Ort bei der Zeitung The Age gemeldet hatte. Die Täter konnten nicht ermittelt werden.

Gebäude

Das Architekturbüro Grounds Romberg Boyd erhielt 1959 den Auftrag, eine neue Galerie und ein Kulturzentrum zu errichten. Als sich Roy Grounds 1962 von der Firma trennte, nahm er den Auftrag mit. Im Dezember 1967 wurde das Gebäude an der St. Kilda Road eröffnet, das fortan als NGV International bezeichnet wurde. Mario Bellini renovierte das nahe dem Yarra River gelegene Gebäude von 1999 bis 2003.

Mit dem Ian Potter Centre eröffnete 2003 ein zweites Gebäude auf der anderen Seite des Yarra River. Das Gebäude liegt am Federation Square, dem Kunst- und Galerieblock von Melbourne. Im Ian Potter Centre, benannt nach dem 1994 verstorbenen australischen Geschäftsmann und Philanthropen Ian Potter, ist die australische Kunst ausgestellt, während im Hauptgebäude internationale Kunst gezeigt wird.

Zahlen

Das Museum hatte 2008 im kostenfreien Teil 1,48 Millionen Besucher. Die kostenpflichtigen Sonderausstellungen hatten 262.000 Besucher.

Das Museum bekam 2008 vom australischen Staat 44,4 Millionen AUD und nahm selbst 28,6 Millionen AUD ein. Der Jahresabschluss wies einen Gewinn von 2,8 Millionen AUD auf. Im selben Jahr beschäftigte das Museum 226 Personen.

Fact check: SNP MPs cost less and work harder than their predecessors
Posted on 26 November, 2016 15 August, 2018
The latest Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) show SNP MPs are the hardest working MPs at Westminster, cost significantly less and are better value for money than their predecessors from other parties.
Here are the facts.
SNP MPs are costing less than their predecessors – by over £1 million.
Figures published on IPSA's website confirm that in 2015-16 SNP MPs in fact cost over £1 million (£1,140,801.64) less than their predecessors did in 2014-15. On average SNP MPs cost over £21,000 less than their predecessors.
SNP MPs are working harder than their predecessors too.
New figures show that SNP MPs work harder than their predecessors, and are some of the most active MPs at Westminster. In 2016:
SNP MPs spoke in an average of 64 debates. This compares to an average of just 43 debates for Labour MPs and 38 debates for Conservative MPs.
SNP MPs have each tabled an average of 58 written parliamentary questions. In total, SNP MPs have tabled over 3,000 written parliamentary questions – holding UK government ministers to account and providing a strong voice for Scotland at Westminster.
SNP MPs have tabled over 600 EDMs – helping bring attention to the important issues facing local communities, the people of Scotland and the UK.
SNP MPs have contributed to the work of 77 Select Committees, Sub-Committees, Bill Committees and Commissions, including chairing 3 Select Committees.
Find out more about how SNP MPs are standing up for Scotland's interests, and providing the only strong, united and effective opposition to the Tories at Westminster.


Grace Weber Shows Beautiful Restraint on "More Than Friends"
After lending her voice to Chance The Rapper for Coloring Book opener, "All We Got," singer-songwriter Grace Weber has shared her own solo track, "More Than Friends." Backed by sweet trumpets and acoustic guitar courtesy of The Social Experiment, Weber delivers more of the layered, pitched vocals that initially caught listeners' ears when she sang on "All We Got." However, her own rasp-infused, clear lead vocals are now the main attraction and Weber proves that she can hold her own on this track. There's a little soul, a little indie and a little of something refreshing that comes through when she graces the mic.
The quality that gives this record replay value for me is not so much about what Weber brings to the table, but what she decides to leave out. There are no drums, no unexpected production elements and no gimmicky synth breaks. Instead, Weber and The Social Experiment add just enough elements to keep the song interesting while maintaining a level of beautiful subtlety. If "More Than Friends" is any indication of more to come, Weber sounds like she's onto something special.

Q: selecting an array corresponding to the value of an integer in while loop I have six arrays. with names arr1,arr2,arr3,arr4,arr5,arr6. I want to get the the array according to the value of an integer. I am incrementing the value of an integer in a while loop and there is an if condition in while loop. When if condition gets true, i want to get the array corresponding to the value of integer. i.e, if the value of integer is 5, i should get arr5! I don't want to do this in more if loops! I'm doing this in javascript!
So how can this be done!

A: Make an object of arrays
var arrays = {
    0:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    1:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    2:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    3:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    4:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}

or
Array of arrays
var arrays = [
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
]

suppose index is the integer to retrieve the array, then arrays[index] will give you a particular array.


You're constantly hearing about dental hygiene and how significant it is. But did you know that it isn't only important due to the consequences that it has on your teeth and gums? Dental hygiene is also important because of the consequences it has on your health.
First things first, what's dental hygiene? Dental hygiene is brushing your teeth every day by simply brushing your teeth at least two to three times each day with fluoride toothpaste that's been approved by the American dental association. You also will need to whiten your teeth at least once per day to be sure you are removing plaque and other debris that might be captured between your teeth. Another portion of dental hygiene is always eating a more balanced diet and seeing your dentist for regular examinations. All this is part of dental hygiene.
Dental hygiene impacts your health more than you think. If you do not brush your teeth regularly plaque can form. Plaque is a type of bacteria that forms right above the gum . If you do not keep up on your dental hygiene by brushing and flossing daily that the plaque will turn to tartar. Once plaque turns to tartar the only method to get off it would be to see your own dentist. Your dentist has a procedure called scaling to remove the tartar. If the tartar isn't removed you can create gum disease such as gingivitis. If you develop gingivitis and don't get it could turn into more severe periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a severe form of gingivitis that's a stage of infection that's damaging. The damage contains weakness of bones, teeth becoming loose or even loss of teeth. There also have been recent studies that have shown that periodontitis can be related to diabetes, strokes, and cardiovascular disease.
Periodontitis may lead to strokes, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease because of inflammation in the moutharea. Inflammation in the mouth causes white blood cells and proteins to improve production that helps to fight diseases. The increased production of white blood cells and protein cause a negative side effect. The negative side effect is that inflammation not only makes your gums inflamed but also the infection causing it gets into the blood and is carried down the inflammation into the blood vessels. Causing inflammation in the arteries makes them more vulnerable to the deposition of cholesterol and fats. Having deposition of cholesterol and fats in your arteries is exactly what leads to heart attacks and strokes. Various studies have shown people that have significantly more plaque and bacteria inside their own mouths have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and fractures. Visit Emergency Dental Care here.
Of course, for most of us, poor dental hygiene contributes to cavities (dental caries). Cavities are holes in the teeth that have to be satisfied by a dental practitioner. From a cost viewpoint, filling a pit can cost anywhere from $100 on up. Some particular circumstances and solutions can cost up to $1,000 or even more.
Some teeth will be in very poor shape but can be saved by way of a root canal. The cost of a root canal could be in the high hundreds, and possibly from the tens of thousands dollars. Some teeth that can't be spared will need to be removed. Even a ballpark cost for tooth extraction is between $75 and $150, although particular situations and complications could run that cost even greater, naturally.
Not only will there be the money cost of the dental procedures to think about, but there will usually be pain linked to the condition too. Many of these situations could be prevented by regular, basic dental hygiene measures, therefore saving both cash and distress. Occasionally these circumstances, and/or the process used to correct them, may affect somebody's appearance, thereby adversely impacting their particular self-image and self-esteem. Furthermore, if someone was neglecting the maintenance of their teeth, teeth, and mouth, then a few teeth might be affected, creating, more, cost in terms of money, pain, and possibly reduced self-esteem.
Additionally when you have an existing heart disease you will need to make certain that you keep up on your own dental hygiene. Dental hygiene may affect your health. As an instance, if you begin to bleed in your mouth and the bacteria from the gums enter your bloodstream and remain on the abnormal valve it might result in a serious disease. Contact an emergency dentist west edmonton here!
Another manner that hygiene impacts your health is that you get older. If you don't take care of your teeth you may have to get dentures or you might have mouth diseases. Having mouth diseases or dentures that do not fit well can cause weight loss or malnutrition.
All of these examples are the way dental hygiene affects your health. If you would like to have more detailed info or have questions that you would like to get answered on how dental hygiene impacts your health contact your dentist or doctor and tell them your questions. Your dentist or doctor will be able to assist you to find out what you want to do in order to get the very best dental hygiene based on your age and what health problems you might have.
Regular Brushing and Flossing – Among the very initial steps somebody can take on the road to appropriate dental hygiene is very just to brush their teeth at least two times per day and also to floss once a day. Although it is recommended by a few to brush in the afternoon and before bed, then it could be of significance to squeeze it in somewhere daily. Flossing removes the plaque which builds up throughout teeth. The plaque will eventually lead to tooth decay, and eliminating it frequently is a major step in the prevention of cavities which will have to be filled or perhaps teeth which will need to be extracted or be spared by a root canal.
Use a Toothpaste Containing Fluoride – These toothpaste can help prevent the growth of plaque whilst strengthening the tooth enamel of the tooth itself. Mouthwashes with fluoride and plaque-preventing ingredients can help too.
Avoid Tobacco – While smoking and chewing may or might have no direct influence on the teeth , tobacco products may lead to diseases of the mouth and gums, such as oral cancer.
Visit Your Dentist Often – A dentist can spot a developing cavity or other condition before it becomes a large, costly issue. Bad things could possibly be happening in your own mouth, or your child's mouth, which you can not be conscious of, however the dentist may discern and take steps to fix. The dentist's office may even generally provide a cleaning which will be far better than that which you can normally do at home yourself.
Even if you skip all the other measures, visiting with your dentist a couple of times per year just to get a checkup and cleaning can go a long way to keeping your teeth, gums, and mouth in a healthy condition.

wpadmin charter schools, Louisiana
20 Years of Charter Schools in Louisiana
Based on the news coverage surrounding the 10-year observance of Hurricane Katrina, it might be easy to believe that Louisiana's charter school movement began in 2005.
Or, it wouldn't be surprising if you thought Louisiana's first charter schools came on the scene with creation of the Recovery School District in 2003, when the Legislature granted the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education the power to take over chronically low-performing schools.
This year, Louisiana is observing a charter school milestone. However, it's not a 10 or 12-year anniversary. It was 20 years ago when Louisiana's Charter School Law was originally enacted.
In 1995, Act 192 created a statewide pilot program that allowed up to eight school districts to volunteer to either grant charters to eligible groups or apply to operate a charter school themselves.
A year later, three charter schools opened in Jefferson, Terrebonne and Evangeline parishes. The state's first charter school was the Jefferson Community School, an alternative school for students expelled from other Jefferson Parish schools for minor offenses.
Today, thanks to strong support from legislators, families and the public, Louisiana has more than 96,000 students enrolled in school choice programs.
More than 70,000 students are enrolled in 134 charter schools.
The Louisiana Scholarship Program enables more than 7,600 low-income students to attend a private school of their choice.
Louisiana's Course Choice program allows more than 19,000 students to select from hundreds of online and face-to-face courses not offered by traditional schools.


It's quiet in the dark, damp basement. The walls are covered in dancing lights, wonderful hues of blue and white. The television is on, the sound down low as to not wake anyone. I'm sitting on the couch, a tattered, ugly green object that has been lost to time. It smells faintly of mold, and a few small rodents scurried out from under it when I sat down.
On the tube, people are talking, dancing. It appears to be a recording of a wedding, perhaps for a family friend. The picture is low quality, very fuzzy. The tape is no doubt old, it was in the machine when I turned the television on. I stare, transfixed. The people, despite the horrible picture, are wonderful looking. Beautiful, even.
A noise upstairs, the sound of someone walking down the stairs, makes me jump, and I stand quickly and quietly, slowing my breathing even though I know they can't hear me. With one hand I shut off the television, and now every inhale and exhale sounds as loud as a fan blowing air directly in one's ear. I creep to the bottom of the stairs, still alarmed. I'm not supposed to be down here, and it's late. Perhaps the family heard me or maybe it's an intruder.
This new thought strikes terror into my heart, and the pumping and thudding in my ears grows louder as my pulse races. My breathing quickens, despite all my attempts to be quiet, and I know that if they were to open the door up there they would hear me and my cover would be blown. Almost panicking and ready to bolt, I step on the lowest stair and begin to climb, praying that none of them creaks.
I'm almost to the top when one of them does, a creak so loud that it surely woke half the block, let alone anyone in the house. I hear shuffling on the other side of the door; padded feet scurrying about through the room. A female voice calls out, calling for a man or perhaps a boy. It does not matter, the name is not mine. I freeze where I stand, raising my hand to strike. If the door opens.
Slowly but surely it creeps open, keeps opening, and the woman on the other side is not scared yet, she's not screaming yet, and I understand that the shadows are hiding me from sight, but then she flicks the switch for the stairway light and I attack, swinging my hand towards her face as hard as I can. Her eyes go wide and her mouth opens in a surprised O shape a split second before her head goes flying and her body crumples to the ground, blood pumping out of her neck and flowing across the floor and pooling at my feet. In my panicked state, I'd hit her so hard that I decapitated her. That coppery smell fills my nose and my heart rate becomes steady. There is not a single sound in the house, not even a mouse. I step into the room and flip the switch for the light, closing the door behind me, once again submerged in complete darkness.
I wonder who else is upstairs.

Ylvis On Their Billboard Hit: 'It Takes A Fox' To Beat Lady Gaga
The Norwegian comedy duo talk their surprising hit 'The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)'.
Brenna Ehrlich 10/15/2013
Lorde isn't the only artist on the Billboard Hot 100 to score a surprising hit, there's also Ylvis — a brotherly duo from Norway who have hit #6 on the chart, besting Lady Gaga's "Applause" with parody smash "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)." And, according to the bros Ylvisåker, that was their intention all along.
"We made 'The Fox' song and we thought, 'We have to beat Lady Gaga.'.... It takes a fox." Bård Ylvisåker told MTV News. And while we're quite certain he was joking, that's exactly what the comedy duo has done.
"It's really crazy," Bård said of the pair's certified hit, which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at # 29, according to the New York Times. "Everything that happens now is really strange and crazy and we're just in for the ride. We don't know where it stops, but we're here as long as it lasts."
"The ride" Bård is referring to started as a joke. The brothers initially created the video and song— which imagines what sound a fox makes — as a promotion for their
comedy talk show, "I Kveld Med Ylvis" ("Tonight With Ylvis") in their home country of Norway. The guys teamed up with hitmaking producing duo Stargate to create the track, but their intention was not to make a hit.
"We thought, 'We can't come home to Norway with the intention of being a hit,'" Vegard Ylvisåker said. "Because as comedians that's kind of poison. You have to always have a comic element in it. So we were figuring out how we were going to do that."
The brothers decided that the only solution was to "misuse [Stargate's] talent," Vegard said. "To have that opportunity and come back to the show and say to the audience, 'Sorry guys, we had the chance, we couldn't find anything else than what sound the fox says— we blew the opportunity.' And then it sort of backfired on us."
And by "backfired," Vegard means something entirely different. The song became a viral hit, racking up nearly 125 million views since it was posted to YouTube in September — "Very early the comments were about this song going viral," Bard said — and the guys have appeared everywhere from The iHeartRadio Music Festivalto "Late Night Will Jimmy Fallon."
"We were rehearsing 'The Fox' with Jimmy Fallon and we had just barely talked to him and in the middle of the rehearsal, we just turn our heads over to the right and there's Jimmy Fallon in the fox costume just going 'Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!' Screaming," Bård said. "And Questlove on the drums. That's really surreal."
Although the guys were signed to Warner Music after dropping the song and accompanying video, they don't currently intend on releasing a full-length album. Which means, dear Mother Monster, although the sly foxes have bested you this time, your next single could get them to say "uncle" — that is, of course, if we knew what sound they make it the first place.
Ylvis


Human beings tend to be so arrogant. We try to bargain with God and tell Him we will make this deal or that with Him. Like we really have anything to offer Him! Nothing we have is ours, from the cars we drive to the air we breathe. We have no right to try and deal. Besides that, we don't need to. All things come from Him to us because He loves us, not because He needs us or because we promised Him something. He is already complete. He doesn't need us to like Him, He doesn't need us to do Him favors, nor does He need the things we might offer Him. He simply loves us, as a father does, and gives generously to us out of that love. If there is something you truly need then ask your Father and He will provide for you- without the bargains and deals. He will not hold His help hostage for ransom. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. Our struggles are meant to mold us, to better us and your answer may not always come in the form you expect it. Look for what God is doing within your needs and trust your Father's process.

Heavy Smokers in U.S. Dwindling
Number of Pack-a-Day Smokers Down by About 16% Since 1965
By Jennifer Warner
March 15, 2011 -- The stereotypical pack-a-day smoker is no longer the norm, according to a new study that shows the number of heavy smokers has declined substantially in the U.S.
Researchers say that in 1965, a majority of smokers in the U.S. smoked at least one pack per day. But since the first surgeon general's report on smoking and health was released in 1964, there has been a major decline in not only the prevalence of smoking, but also the intensity.
In the study, researchers analyzed smoking intensity patterns from two large national health surveys involving more than 1.6 million Americans and 139,176 residents of California.
Researchers conducted separate analyses of smoking patterns in California because the state has consistently led the U.S. in initiating public policies to reduce cigarette smoking since the surgeon general's report on smoking was released.
The results showed 23.2% of adults in California and 22.9% of adults in the rest of the U.S. were classified as heavy smokers in 1965.
By 2007, this prevalence dropped to 2.6% of adults in California and 7.2% of adults in the remaining states.
"This decline in high-intensity smoking was not accompanied by a compensatory increase in the prevalence of less-intense smoking," write researcher John P. Pierce, PhD, of the University of California, San Diego and colleagues in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Instead, researchers say the overall pattern of smoking has changed across different generations. They found the prevalence of moderate-intensity smoking of 10 or more cigarettes per day also declined.
In 1965 11.1% of adults in California and 10.5% in the remaining states were classified as moderate-intensity smokers.
By 2007, the prevalence fell to 3.4% in California and 5.4% in the remaining states.
Decline Tied to Lower Lung Cancer Rates
"As expected, the large decline in the prevalence of pack-a-day smoking has been reflected in declines in lung cancer," write the researchers. "Lung cancer death rates peaked in California in 1987 at 109 per 100,000 and declined continuously to 77 per 100,000 in 2007. In the remaining United States, lung cancer deaths peaked in 1993 at 117 per 100,000 and declined to 102 per 100,000 by 2007."
Researchers say further studies on changes in smoking patterns should look at the relative importance of changes in the age at which smokers began their habit, when they quit, and the relative importance of cutting back on the number of cigarettes smoked per day on the health consequences of smoking.

Mr. C.E. Radley, of Knoxville, narrowly escaped death this morning when the horse he was driving was cut in two by a Baltimore and Ohio engine, and the wagon in which he was driving was demolished.
Men near the Baltimore and Ohio crossing at Knoxville noticed Mr. Radley approaching the track, apparently oblivious to the close approach of the shifting engine, and shouted to him, but he evidently did not hear. As the horse reached the middle of the track the engine struck it, killing it instantly and carrying it some distance. The wheels from the wagon were torn from the axles, and Mr. Radley thrown to the bottom of the wagon.
He was stunned by the shock and could not speak for several minutes, but in a short while he recovered and was found to be unhurt.

I've been posting about #100happydays on my personal Instagram account for a couple of weeks now. I'm absolutely loving it. I post at the end of the day, and it makes me reconsider the happiness of every moment – is my morning shower my happy moment? My first cup of tea? Something in the middle of the afternoon? My pillow at night?
I'm having so much fun, I've decided to do a second #100happydays post every day on my WildlyLived Instagram account. Here is my first. Join me in the movement? Or just follow along?

Конка у Дугласі () — лінія конки в Дугласі, столиці острова Мен, одна з трьох трамвайних мереж острова. Станом на 2016, це остання у світі лінія конки, що експлуатувалась в режимі міського громадського транспорту.

Історія
Конка у Дугласі почала діяти у 1876 році. Своїм створенням трамвай зобов'язаний Томасу Лайтфуту, цивільному інженерові з Шеффілда. До 1882 він залишався власником конки, після чого вона була продана фірмі  Isle of Man Tramways Ltd, що пізніше поміняла назву на Isle of Man Tramways & Electric Power Co Ltd. У 1902 компанія збанкрутувала. Зараз власник трамвая — міська рада Дугласа (Douglas Borough Council, місцеве самоврядування).

Конка у Дугласі діяла протягом усіх років з 1876 року і по 2015, за винятком періоду Другої світової війни. З 1927 року трамвай працює тільки влітку.

Опис системи
Довжина єдиної лінії конки —  2,8 км. Лінію конки прокладено уздовж морського променаду, від південної кінцевої зупинки на пірсі Вікторія (Victoria Pier) повз морський вокзал (Sea Terminal) до північної кінцевої зупинки Derby Castle, яка одночасно є кінцевою південною зупинкою електричного трамвая (електрична залізниця острова Мен).

Ширина колії — 914 мм. Лінія на всьому протязі двоколійна і сполучена.

Рухомий склад
Рухомий склад лінії — 23 вагони і 45 коней. Для полегшення праці останні вагони обладнані вальницями кочення. Більшість вагонів — відкриті, але є також як мінімум один закритий вагон з відкритим імперіалом (другим поверхом).

Організація роботи
Конка діяла з травня по вересень. Час роботи — з 9 години ранку до ? години вечора (розклад сезону 2014 року).

У 2014 році дорослий квиток коштував 3 фунти, квиток для дітей (від 6 до 16 років) і літніх — 2 фунти. Існують також проїзні.

Трамвай приваблює багатьох туристів, які також можуть відвідати стайню трамвая, яка функціонує як музей. У вартість квитка для відвідування стайні (у 2006 році — 5 фунтів для дорослих і 2,5 фунта для дітей і літніх) входить одноразовий квиток для поїздки на трамваї.

Закриття і відновлення роботи
Конка була невигідна економічно (за 2015 рік збитки склали 263 тисячі фунтів), і 22 січня 2016 року було оголошено, що сезон 2015 року став останнім в роботі конки у Дугласі. Проте після того, як онлайн-петицію проти закриття конки підписало понад 2000 осіб, було вирішено продовжити її функціонування.

Hey, pals. By now you might have seen a few folks rocking photos of our DEATH TO FALSE EBM shirts, our first official ID:UD merch items. We happened to end up with a few extra XL guys shirts, so we're gonna do a giveaway here, and one on the podcast for the listener. Rules of the contest are easy: post a link to one of your favourite I Die: You Die articles on FB or Twitter between now and July 1st, making sure to tag us in the post. We'll go through all of 'em and pick a winner at random, and bam, free t-shirt to show your allegiance to TRU EBM! Contest is open as of RIGHT NOW. Listen to some new Tracks while you peruse the archives why don't you?
Sid Lamar and Zoe Zanias just dropped a murderous EP for Zone Records, the label run by Gesaffelstein and The Hacker. As you might expect from those dudes, these new tracks show a bit of EBM influence (not a totally unfamiliar sound for Keluar) but none moreso than this remix courtesy of The Hacker himself, bringing that banging techno-body sound to the already pretty stark sounding original. Definitely feeling this.
Our beloved KC have been putting out a metric tonne of re-releases in 2015, capping it all off with a brand new hits compilation entitled Radio Music A. The track listing for the release (which can be ordered direct from Norton North) leans pretty heavy on post-2000 Kirlian tracks (we give it up for "Odyssey Europa" and "Dead Zone in the Sky") but there is one new treat, this unreleased gem which does the whole stately darkwave thing we expect from Angelo and company to the proverbial T.
Philly outrun composer Neon Shudden has caught our ear every now and again, but perhaps never as much so as with this kick-heavy tune which brings us back to our cherry and coffee flavoured Jolt undergrad days. Snappy and catchy, this tune points to an odd hybrid of dark electro and outrun we'd never thought of before.
Friends, we can't stress our love for Ashbury Heights enough, and our excitement for their still forthcoming new album gets a little greater each day. The two tracks we've heard so far seem to suggest a return to the sound Anders was running with around Three Cheers for the Newlydeads, all modern dance production tied into gothix synthpop stylings. We've tapped the duo for an interview which is basically the sort of thing we started I Die: You Die for, so keep an eye peeled out for that sometime this year.
Some stripped down EBM-ish sounds from Massachusetts' (we think?) Boy Harsher. Bouncy yet, well, harsh, this is an eager enough sampler from the duo's first EP on Soft Science Records. Who's to say where this new branch of USian folk chasing down the more obscure branches of EBM might lead, but it's plenty interesting right now.
Finally, some pure, grinding pain from Rhode Island's celebrated Vomit Arsonist. Leaving the artist in question aside, Maryland's long-running Malignant Records should have hopefully attracted your attention if your proclivities are directed towards the noisier end of the spectrum by now. Regardless of such wars over fiefdoms, the boundary between noise and industrial is rife with possibility, as this taster demonstrates.
