Luton Borough Council has launched a campaign to raise awareness of Trading Standards among ethnic minority communities after it was revealed that authorities had little contact from those sections of the population.
Bollywood-style posters in English, Urdu, Gujarati and Bengali will be targeted at minority communities, which make up 20 per cent of the region's population. The communications team has taken the posters on a roadshow to test response.
A council spokeswoman said: 'Trading Standards identified that services are lacking in ethnic minority communities so we put together some notices and posters and took them to community groups to make sure the message truly hit home in their languages.
'The response was fantastic. Everyone had a story to tell,' she added.
Council officers also plan to tour communities to warn against unscrupulous traders and to advise on second-hand car purchasing.

Q: Which word should I choose in this context? I have participated in many campaigns aiming at providing some opportunities for students to perceive vicariously what was going on in the real life behind the economic data which they were familiar with.
I mean that the students may know something through numbers, but he can have a clearer understanding of what these number means if he has direct contact with people. I use "perceive vicariously" , because I want to emphasize "senses" versus dry rationality. But still I think what the senses will give the students is a higher or clearer understanding, not sensation. Maybe "understand vividly" fits well my purpose?

A: I think "see firsthand" is appropriate here, as in, "I want my students to see firsthand what the data represents."
The idea being that the economic data is an abstracted, or "secondhand" representation, and you want your students to understand what the data actually represents at its source, or at its "firsthand" representation.
From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/firsthand: coming directly from actually experiencing or seeing something

A: I would not use perceive vicariously, as it implies a disconnect, as in, someone else perceives the life of common people, like the professor, and then tells the students about it. And understand vividly is about the result, not the process. To me, vicariously experience makes more sense, but doesn't give that punch that you are looking for: it is still a bit too removed. I'd probably write directly observe, possibly adding in real life for clarity if necessary.

This issue initially began with the theme of re-examining Fr. Alexander Schmemann's three article series, published between 1964-1965, on the Canonical, Liturgical, and Spiritual "problems" facing Orthodoxy in America. The basic questions that Archbishop Peter (Canonical), Fr. Alexis Vinogradov (Liturgical), and Fr. Robert Arida (Spiritual) considered in their responses were whether and to what extent Fr. Alexander's analyses of these problems are still relevant today.
But as a careful reading will show, Fr. Alexander was not primarily interested in problems, but with their consequences. He stresses this in the last paragraph of the last article (Spiritual): "It is clear to every one who wants to see that there are today around us thousands of ears ready to listen, thousands of hearts ready to open themselves not to our human words and human explanations, not to the `splendors' of Byzantium or Russia, but to that alone which makes us sing at the end of each Liturgy: `We have seen the true Light, we have received the heavenly Spirit, we have found the true Faith...' And if only we could understand this and take it to our hearts and our will, day after day, there would be no problem of Orthodoxy, but only a mission of Orthodoxy in America."
These articles are not a cynical look at "problems," but proposals for the triumph over all that inhibits the mission of Orthodoxy in America – all that prevents it from growing and blossoming here in America.
Fr. Alexander Schmemann's series, "The Problems of Orthodoxy in America:"
Lazarus James Reid's lecture, "Matisse and Russian Icons"
Kim Piotrowski's full review of Mr. Reid's lecture and her own comments on iconography in - "Rediscovering the Icon: New Ways of Looking at an Ancient Artform"
Though not featured in this issue, we also include Archbishop Peter's study of the issues related to the early Church's decisions on determining the date of Pascha from his book, The Church of the Ancient Councils.
In addition, there are reviews of educational and liturgical music workshops and retreats, youth events, and parish celebrations. Fr. Michael Plekon expands his series on the "living icons" of the 20th century with the life of Mother Maria Skobtsova. Fr. Thomas Edwards shares personal reflections of the departed hierarch, Bishop Basil Rodzianko. Robert Flanagan examines the "holiness of place" as experienced in a recent trip to Ireland. In our poetry section, Water from the Well, we are pleased to include Denise Levertov's poem, Annunciation. Kim Piotrowski reviews an interesting series of lectures delivered by Lazarus James Reid on art and its connection to spirituality. Fr. Joseph Woodill further develops his presentation on Orthodox Ethics. Fr. Stephen Siniari continues his series on "servanthood."
As the first in 2000, this issue offers a reflection on the signs of growth within our Diocese and a hopefulness, amidst the tensions of modern life within and outside of our Church, for the blossoming of Orthodoxy in America.

Talk about a generation gap…
(2016) Comedy (20th Century Fox) Bryan Cranston, James Franco, Zoey Deutch, Megan Mullally, Cedric the Entertainer, Keegan-Michael Key, Griffin Gluck, Zack Pearlman, Jee Young Han, Tangie Ambrose, Mary Pat Gleason, Kaley Cuoco (voice), Steve Aoki, Richard Blais, Elon Musk, Adam Devine, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Andrew Rannells, Casey Wilson. Directed by John Hamburg
The father-daughter relationship is a very special one. A man's daughter is always his princess; the light of his heart, the twinkle in his eye, she inevitably has him twisted around her little finger. It goes without saying that no man will ever be good enough for Daddy's Little Princess.
Ned Fleming (Cranston) is by all appearances a successful guy. He's a pillar of his Michigan community and runs a paper company that has been one of the most successful in the Midwest for years; he has put his daughter Stephanie (Deutch) through college at Stanford where she is nearing graduation and his life is generally going just swell.
His bubble is on the verge of bursting though; his company is in serious financial trouble and there isn't much of a future for it anyway – paper is going the way of horse and buggy given that most communication is electronic these days. His wife Barb (Mullally) and son Scottie (Gluck) are mainly unaware of this. However, the biggest blow is that Stephanie has a boyfriend that they don't know about and what's worse they've been together for more than a year. This disturbs Ned who had always assumed that his daughter told him everything. It seems she has a whole lot of secrets that he isn't aware of. With the holidays coming, Stephanie invites her family to spend them in Northern California.
Said boyfriend is Laird Mayhew (Franco) and rather than being a doe-eyed college boy he turns out to be a 30-something tech magnate who earned his billions developing videogames. With a chest full of tattoos and absolutely no filter, he is a bit of a handful and a lot for the conservative Fleming family to take in. Most parents would be overjoyed that their daughter had caught the eye of a billionaire and seemed to be very much in love with him besides but not Ned. He's suspicious of Laird and is positive that he's up to something and Laird, to be honest, is a fairly manipulative guy. His high-tech Palo Alto mansion is full to the brim with all sorts of gadgets and toys, including a Japanese toilet/bidet combination that doesn't quite work right (and hilarity ensues), a Siri-like house computer whose voice is that of Kaley Cuoco from Big Bang Theory and who tends to get cranky from time to time (more hilarity ensues) and a brand new bowling alley that Laird installed because he heard that Ned loves to bowl. Midwestern, right?
There is also a stuffed moose preserved in an aquarium full of it's own urine which you just know is going to get all over someone sooner or later (not a spoiler: it does) and a valet named Gustav (Key) who is about every Eastern European goofball that populated sitcoms and movie comedies in the 80s and 90s and who, like Kato in the Pink Panther movies, attacks Laird with martial arts without warning (although to be fair the movie does name drop the series for additional laughs).
Laird means to marry Stephanie and wants Ned's blessing, a blessing that isn't forthcoming. It's Christmas though and miracles can happen – although it might take several miracles to make this happy ending come true. Stephanie tries to make her father see that beneath the cursing (Laird drops F bombs constantly, a product of having no filter) and the sometimes bizarre behavior Laird is really a very nice guy, but that will be a tough sell to a father who already thinks that no guy is good enough for his princess.
In many ways this movie perfectly illustrates the disconnect between Hollywood and Mid-America which in turn spotlights why Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election. Ned and Barb as well as son Scotty are portrayed as extremely naive particularly about pop culture sexuality, not knowing what either motorboating or bukake mean – not that those are common terms but certainly the way that it is portrayed here is that they're the only ones not in on the joke and quite frankly it's a bit cruel. The West Coast hip tech types, standing in for the elite liberal crowd, are condescending and a little put off by the squares. It may interest the left to know that there is Internet in the Midwest and most of the people living there are a lot savvier than given credit for.
Cranston and Franco are no strangers to each other and it shows here. The chemistry between them is letter perfect and both exhibit a lot of give and take in terms of who gets the laughs and who is the straight man. Both perform beyond what you'd expect for what is essentially a holiday comedy which often tend to be just paychecks for big name actors. Cranston and Franco earn both of theirs.
But all the good intentions and strong performances can't save a script that has little bite and feels more like a sitcom than a big screen comedy. There are some really funny moments (like when Laird brings in Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS for Ned and Barb who are avowed members of the KISS Army) and a few cringe-worthy moments (the aforementioned moose piss gag) but by and large there's nothing truly offensive here. Neither is there anything truly noteworthy either.
REASONS TO GO: Cranston is on point as always and he has some terrific chemistry with Franco.
REASONS TO STAY: The plot is a little heavy-handed and riddled with clichés.
FAMILY VALUES: There is a fair amount of foul language and some sexual innuendo throughout.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: The Ape Assassins game that made Laird Mayhew famous is available for download on the iTunes App Store.
CRITICAL MASS: As of 1/30/17: Rotten Tomatoes: 39% positive reviews. Metacritic: 39/100.

Top 5 Starfests
Posted on August 27, 2010 by carlosdev
One of the big draws of The Expendables (see review) is the star power; many of the biggest stars in the action genre of the last 20 years make an appearance in the movie. Loading up a movie with as many stars as you can fit in is nearly as old as Hollywood is itself; having multiple stars draws across various fanbases and give the movie a wider potential audience to draw from. Some movies exist for little reason beyond just getting those self-same stars into the same movie; how many people would have seen Heat for example had it not had both Pacino and De Niro in it? At their best, Starfests can be a romp allowing big stars to shine in small little-more-than-cameo roles. These are my favorites.
There are several movies that didn't make the top five but were worthy of mentioning here. Robin and the Seven Hoods (1962) was ostensibly a Rat Pack movie with Sinatra, Deano and Sammy, it also boasted Bing Crosby, Peter Falk, Barbara Rush, Victor Buono, Tony Randall and Edward G. Robinson, along with a number of Borscht Belt comics of the day. The Towering Inferno (1974) followed the tried and true disaster film formula of throwing a bunch of stars into a disaster situation and then have the audience watch to see who survives. Not only did it pair up Steve McQueen and Paul Newman for the first time, the stellar cast included William Holden, Fred Astaire, Jennifer Jones, Robert Wagner, Richard Chamberlain, Faye Dunaway, Robert Vaughn and OJ. Yes, that OJ. Clue (1985) was based on the popular board game and had the gimmick of shooting three different endings which varied depending on which theater you saw the movie in. The cast of characters included Madeline Kahn, Martin Mull, Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean and Lesley Ann Warren. Finally, Mars Attacks! (1996) was director Tim Burton's homage to a series of collectable cards issued in the 1950s that depicted all sorts of gruesome killings perpetrated by rampaging Martians. Here, he set up a spectacular cast only to kill them off in some horrible way, including Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Michael J. Fox, Danny De Vito, Annette Bening, Rod Steiger, Jim Brown, Glenn Close, Sylvia Sidney, Pam Grier, Joe Don Baker, Paul Winfield and Martin Short. Also cast in early roles were Jack Black and Natalie Portman before they were famous.
5. THE GREAT RACE (1965)
This Blake Edwards-directed ode to the daredevil motorists of the early1900s relied heavily on silent cinema conventions and star power to motor it along. The race from New York to Paris featured Jack Lemmon as the Dastardly Professor Fate, whose car contained among other inventions, a smoke machine, a cannon and a scissor lift. Tony Randall Curtis was the Great Leslie, whose eyes and teeth twinkled and gleamed like the Northern Star, sure to set all sorts of female hearts a-flutter at the time. Along for the ride was an impressive cast including Natalie Wood, Dorothy Provine, Ross Martin, Keenan Wynn, Peter Falk, Arthur O'Connell, Larry Storch, Vivian Vance and Denver Pyle. It can be seen regularly on broadcast television and is usually not that hard to find at your local video retailer.
4. THE LONGEST DAY (1962)
The story of D-Day is an epic canvas in and of itself, and Hollywood just about outdid itself when it rolled out the red carpet for the stars who played both front line soldiers and officers behind the scenes where the invasion of Normandy was planned. John Wayne headlined the she-bang, but among those who were also involved including (deep breath now) Henry Fonda, Sean Connery, Richard Burton, Red Buttons, Robert Mitchum, Roddy McDowell, Curt Jurgens, Robert Ryan, George Segal, Edmund O'Brien, Sal Mineo, Fabian, Mel Ferrer, Robert Wagner, Stuart Whitman, Rod Steiger, Eddie Albert and Gert Frobe. It may not have been the longest day but it might have been the longest cast. It periodically shows up on broadcast television or basic cable; it can be difficult to find at video retailers, but as a classic is most certainly worth seeking out.
3. OCEANS 11 (2001)
George Clooney got together with his buddy Steven Soderbergh and decided to remake the Rat Pack classic of the same name, albeit much modernized but with the same jazzy sense of style. The two of them called a bunch of A-list friends to make a new Rat Pack for the 21st century and an impressive list of talent it is; Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner, Andy Garcia, Scott Caan and Casey Affleck. You got the feeling that robbing the casino was not so much the point as was having a three-month long party in Vegas. Fortunately, what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas – it was a smash hit and inspired two sequels and there might have been more but for the untimely passing of Bernie Mac. Currently, it plays cable TV regularly and occasionally shows up on TBS and it's ilk. If you don't want to wait for it to show up on TV, you can easily find it at most rental outlets or retail stores if you want to add it to your own library.
2. MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (1974)
A classic Agatha Christie mystery became a box office smash and Oscar winner in the capable hands of director Sidney Lumet. Albert Finney starred as the natty Belgian detective Hercule Poirot faced with a vicious murder on a train that as he investigates, he determines it has something to do with an infamous kidnapping that was obviously based on the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. In this gorgeous period piece, everyone's a suspect and when you have a cast like Lauren Bacall, Anthony Perkins, Richard Widmark, Ingmar Bergman, Sean Connery, Michael York, John Gielgud, Martin Balsam, Wendy Hiller, Jacqueline Bisset, Vanessa Redgrave, Rachel Roberts and Jean-Pierre Cassel, it doesn't really matter who done it. This is one train ride I don't mind taking over and over again and you certainly can; it makes regular appearances both on premium cable and basic cable. It is also fairly easy to find at video rental places, although generally you're much more apt to be able to buy it online than you are in brick and mortar retailers.
1. AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (1956)
Producer Michael Todd's epic version of the Jules Verne novel was beyond scale or scope. One of the most honored films of all time with five Oscars (including Best Picture), the movie starred the urbane David Niven as Phineas Fogg, with the Mexican comedian Cantinflas as the loyal manservant Passepartout, the cast included most of the biggest stars of the day, with Shirley MacLaine as the lovely Princess Aouda, but also in varying roles from cameos to featured roles, Frank Sinatra, Robert Morley, Noel Coward, John Gielgud, Charles Boyer, Cesar Romero, Cedric Hardwicke, Ronald Coleman, Robert Newton, Peter Lorre, George Raft, Red Skelton, Marlene Dietrich, John Carradine, Buster Keaton, Joe E. Brown, Andy Devine, Hermione Gingold, Edward R. Murrow and Trevor Howard. This remains one of the most entertaining movies ever made. It used to be a broadcast staple, but rarely shows up on cable these days; you're probably better off renting it or buying it from your favorite retailer.

Silnice I/36 je silnice I. třídy ve východních Čechách, propojující Pardubice, Sezemice, Holice, Borohrádek a Čestice. Délka silnice je .

Historie
Před dobudováním dálnice D11 k Sedlicím a krátkého úseku dálnice D35, který ji spojuje se silnicí I/37 u Opatovic nad Labem, tj. do listopadu 2009, sloužil bývalý západní úsek I/36 jako hlavní výpadová komunikace z Pardubic do Prahy.

Tento západní úsek byl v říjnu 2020 přečíslován na silnici II/211 a tím došlo ke zkrácení I/36 o 22,3 km. Jednalo se o úsek vedoucí jihovýchodně z Nového Města v okresu Hradec Králové (napojení na silnici I/11) přes obce Chýšť, Voleč, Rohovládova Bělá, Bukovka, Lázně Bohdaneč a Rybitví do Pardubic.

Průběh
Silnice začíná na MÚK Doubravice v Pardubicích a vede jižně v souběhu s I/37, od které se odklání na východ u hlavního nádraží. Dále je samostatně vedena po průtahu jižně od centra Pardubic a opouští je na jejich severovýchodním okraji. V Sezemicích trasa I/36 odbočuje doprava na vedlejší komunikaci na málo přehledné křižovatce (přímým směrem zde navazuje silnice II/298 do Třebechovic pod Orebem). Silnice I/36 pak pokračuje přes Časy do Holic. Mezi západním a severozápadním okrajem města je vedena v souběhu s I/35, pak směřuje do centra a dále východním směrem do Velin. Zde mění směr na severovýchodní a pokračuje do Borohrádku, kde se křižuje s II/305 Týniště nad Orlicí – Skuteč. Odtud pokračuje dále na severovýchod do Čestic, kde končí křižovatkou se silnicí I/11.

Význam
Silnice slouží převážně ke spojení Pardubic se silnicí I/35 v Holicích a tím pádem s Brnem a Olomoucí. Ve svém zbytku pak ke spojení Pardubicka s Rychnovskem, Žambereckem a Králickem. Úsek Holice – Čestice není využitelný pro dálkovou kamionovou dopravu z důvodu nízkého podjezdu pod železniční tratí Hradec Králové – Choceň v Borohrádku.

V letech 2021–2022 byla dočasně vedena v úseku Časy–Holice také mezinárodní silnice E442, a to z důvodu napojení tehdy provizorně ukončené dálnice D35 v mimoúrovňové křižovatce Časy na silnici I/35 u Holic.

Two years ago, Sheila Russell decided to move back to her family farm in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, which her forebear Danial Russell had settled in 1796, the year of George Washington's retirement. A seventh-generation Russell, Sheila had gone away to pursue a career in graphic design and for a time had managed creative services at a large catalog company in Cheyenne, Wyoming, but the memory of her home kept her awake. After a stint as a community coordinator at an organic farm in northern Colorado, she, a 47-year-old woman with long curly red hair and blue eyes, decided it was time to leave for good the corporate world for the crops on her own family farm, where her father, Rexford Russell, still lived and worked.
In 2010, "Russell Sprouts Farm" began to take root.
So far, it has been a breathtaking success. For many decades the family owned a maple forest and a maple syrup business, "Endless Mountains Cabin Maple Syrup," but she also managed to expand the operation into organic farming. Beets, cabbage, lettuce, onions, radishes, corn, spinach, beans, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, potatoes, garlic: on several acres of land Sheila Russell is growing the world.
"Five rows of green beans sprouted today! I did a happy dance in the garden when I saw them," reads one of the messages Sheila posted on the farm's Facebook page, which she updates almost weekly with the delight of a child, news and photos of her produce splashed everywhere. In 2012, Sheila started a community-sponsored agriculture program, in which members of the local community are invited to make small investments in the farm in return for fresh organic vegetables each week of the growing season.
As it happened, Sheila's farm was sitting right on top of the Marcellus Shale, an ancient seabed running under large swaths of northern and western Pennsylvania, and rich in shale gas. Since 2007, the region has become the center of a real fossil-fuel rush, with hundreds of companies from all around the world descending onto the countryside.
About 9,000 wells have been drilled thus far, with tens of thousands more planned. Unlike conventional natural gas, however, which collects in large underground reservoirs, the commercial extraction of shale gas requires a highly invasive industrial process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and a very large number of wells. A special mixture of up to seven million gallons of water, fine sand and chemicals, some toxic, is injected under high pressure underground in order to shatter the hard, impermeable shale rock and release any trapped gas inside.
The Russell farm was not spared the gas boom. For decades the family had been leasing out the mineral rights under their property, usually for a few dollars an acre, but it was just a standard practice that farmers in Bradford County were generally used to, nobody expecting actual developments to take place. Nothing happened until June 2010 when, a few months before the lease expired, Chesapeake Energy, the largest oil and gas company in the region, moved in to drill two shale gas wells on the Russells' property, less than a thousand feet from their house.
The family was not too worried at first. After all, if those wells started producing, the Russells would end up receiving part of the royalties, which could then help them improve their farming operation. Sheila carried on with her plans, planting the new organic crop of vegetables, tapping the maples for sap, turning the dreams she had dreamed for so long into a reality.
Chesapeake attempted to fix the problem by pumping in more cement into the bore – a "squeeze job" in the parlance of the industry – but the efforts failed. After another DEP inspection in the summer of 2011, methane was still leaking from the well. And even though the issues were serious, the Russells, rightful owners of the property they had leased out, were not informed. It took nearly a year after the leaks had started before they found out the true extent of the situation.
The Russells were furious. Instead of helping out their business, the gas well was threatening to destroy their 216-year-old farm, as well as Sheila's dreams of organic agriculture. The subsequent tests of her water revealed slight elevations in the levels of sodium and methane gas, though supposedly within the DEP's safe norms. But with some of her neighbors already suffering health problems because of water contamination from drilling, Sheila refused to take a gamble and stopped watering the crops from her local well, switching instead to a spring-fed pond at the edge of her property. As a health precaution, she and her family also ceased drinking from the tap and started buying plastic jugs of water from the store.
It is not just the one leaky well that is endangering the business of Bradford County farmers like Sheila Russell. The industry itself estimates that about six percent of all well casings fail right away, with that percentage climbing to as much as 50 percent within a 30-year span. The failure to fix faulty well casings, which allowed methane to seep into the ground and contaminate the water supplies of 16 Bradford County families, cost Chesapeake a fine of $900,000 last year, the biggest environmental fine in the history of Pennsylvania. Overall, 2,392 drilling-related violations, posing a threat to the environment and the safety of communities, have been reported in Pennsylvania between 2008 and 2011.
Despite all the difficulties, Sheila keeps on going, preparing the ground for next year, fixing the farming equipment, getting the maples ready.
Editor's note: The story was corrected to reflect Rexford Russell's ownership of the family's maple syrup business.

Q: Send-Q column in netstat vs ss output I am using netstat to retrieve the maximum size of the syn backlog from each listening socket. I read the following from the documentation:

Send-Q
Established: The count of bytes not acknowledged by  the  remote  host.
Listening: Since Kernel 2.6.18 this column contains the maximum size of the syn backlog

However, when I run netstat -ntpl, the Send-Q column only contains zeroes, while the output of ss -ntpl contains the expected results.
Although I know that ss should be used instead of netstat, why do the results differ between netstat and ss and how can I get the expected results with netstat?

Giveaway Alert!! WIN 2 Tickets To Scrubs In The City 2016 – LONDON Calling
It's hard to believe it's here again already, but the return of one of my favourite fundraisers is upon us, and I can't wait to attend Scrubs in the City 2016 on June 2nd! Supporting SickKids is something that's very dear to me, and always look forward to this annual event that's one of the best parties of the year, and, of course, supports an incredible cause.
Each year, Scrubs in the City chooses a city theme (last year's was Tokyo, for example), and I love that this year they've picked LONDON as their theme city, giving attendees the option to attend in either 'Posh' or 'Punk' garb. Considering most of my outfits already include a black leather moto jacket, there's a very good chance that you can expect to find me at the party in my best attempt at a Punk outfit.
By attending Scrubs in the City 2016, you're doing so much more than attending one of the most anticipated social events of the year. You're raising money for a new 3T MRI machine at SickKids that's quieter, faster, bigger, and more powerful – making the MRI experience less stressful for kids and family.
On Thursday June 2nd, you can expect to experience an exciting party environment, great food, open bar, and exceptional entertainment throughout the night that's held at the beautiful Evergreen Brick Works.
I've teamed up with the Scrubs in the City team to offer one lucky reader a pair of tickets to attend, worth $195 each!

Fighting factionalism
AFTER FAILING TO settle factional wars through consensus or compromise, the Congress high command appears to be falling back on organisational elections as a dispute-resolving mechanism. Several of the nine State units where these polls have been rescheduled suffer from dissidence and revolt. In Kerala, organisational elections have been one of the major demands of the dissident group led by the former Chief Minister, K. Karunakaran. Although the party polls in Kerala were rescheduled along with those of eight other States, the high command did not seem particularly keen to hide the fact that it was giving in to the terms set by Mr. Karunakaran. In the case of Kerala alone, the returning officers will be from outside the State: 13 from Tamil Nadu and one from Andhra Pradesh. Although the All India Congress Committee has not yet revoked the suspension of Mr. Karunakaran's son, K. Muraleedharan, several faction leaders see in the organisational polls an opportunity to return to the mainstream of the party. Rather than continue to raise other issues at this juncture, many of them want to take advantage of the polls to increase the faction's representation in decision-making bodies. Thus, for the moment, the polls have served as a meeting point for the two dominant factions.
In Tamil Nadu, another State where factionalism has been endemic, organisational polls will likewise present the different groups an opportunity to capture the District Congress Committees. Even after the merger of the Tamil Maanila Congress - the dominant stream of the old but no longer grand party in the State - and the consequent accommodation of its leaders in positions of responsibility in the Congress, the party is hardly performing as one coherent unit. The Congress is not in power in Tamil Nadu, and the factional chieftains have a reduced stake in lobbying for posts in the organisation. However, in the post-merger phase, the TMC stream felt grossly under-represented where it really mattered. The organisational polls might help those looking to legitimise their claims for an enhanced share of power. In Pondicherry, the organisational polls have been rescheduled after a senior leader, P. Kannan, defied the high command and launched a tirade against the Chief Minister, N. Rangaswamy. Mr. Kannan, who had earlier merged his independent outfit with the Congress, seems to command the support of a sizable number of the primary members of the party. He has the choice of forcing a split - or using the polls as a testing ground of his strength.
In all the three State units, organisational elections offer the high command a chance to settle the conflicting claims of the dominant factions without seeming to take sides. In Kerala, where the Karunakaran faction was stepping up the pressure using `inner-party democracy' as the mobilising slogan, the conduct of the polls has seemingly restored the moral authority of the high command. But what is certain is that the polls will not see the end of the factional wars. Those who have reason to be unhappy with the outcome will press on with their overweening demands. After all, inner-party democracy goes far beyond organisational polls held every now and then. Believe it or not, Congress factionalism in some States is rooted in differences over goals and strategies, rather than being expressions of the personal ambitions of group leaders. Organisational polls can help, to an extent, in separating the pretenders from the leaders, but cannot resolve issue-based conflicts within the party.

Many of my colleagues recommend I use BWA-MEM instead of regular old BWA. The problem is I don't understand why and reading the BWA man page doesn't seem to help the matter.
What is the difference between BWA and BWA-MEM? And, in which instances would you employ one over the other?
In short, for anything where you have read lengths over 70bp BWA-MEM is faster, and more accurate.
BWA-backtrack is based on backtracking. This approach is appropriate only when the dissimilarity between the reads and the reference is low, or when you want to find all best hits or enumerate all possible alignments up to a specified number of errors.
In all other situations, BWA-MEM is preferable as it can, thanks to its sophisticated strategy based on maximum exact matches, deal with errors better and also automatically switch between local and global alignment modes.
I would like to provide some algorithmic insight since I believe that it can be very useful in this case. Both BWA-backtrack and BWA-MEM use the same indexing strategy (heavily relying on BWT-index), but the actual algorithms are quite different.
BWT-index (and also other full-text indexes such as suffix arrays or suffix trees) can easily find exact matches (imagine Ctrl+F-like search in a text editor), but any differences between the read and the reference, such as sequencing errors or genomic variants, make the situation complicated. One then needs to somehow transform inexact matching to exact matching, and all three BWA mappers (note that there exists also BWA-SW, but it is deprecated) use quite different strategies.
BWA-backtrack looks for substrings of the reference, which would be similar to the entire read (end-to-end) using an algorithm called backtracking. First, it searches occurences of the read without any "corrections". If nothing found, it consideres all possible single edits; then two edits, etc. To make mapping efficient, one usually wants to stop with the first found alignment as this would be the best one. When required, it is also possible to find the other equally good alignments or to enumerate all alignments up to some edit distance or withing some divergance rate (see the -N option of BWA-backtrack).
It turns out that the time required for finding an alignment can be exponential in the number of errors, which is probably the main problem of backtracking-based approaches. To prevent huge overheads due to dissimilar reads, one needs to limit the number of allowed errors to some reasonable number (see maxDiff in the BWA man page) and consider the other reads unaligned. In the case of BWA-backtrack, the minimum required identity level is ~97% with the default options (see the -n option).
In fact, the algorithm is more complicated and uses various heuristics such as seed-and-extend or Z-dropoff in order to make the computation fast enough (at the price of lower accuracy). If you are interested in more details, all these tricks are well described in the paper.
BWA-MEM uses quite a different strategy. It detects long exact matches between the read and the reference, and then chains them into local or global alignments, based on what is more appropriate in that specific case. Such an automatic local-global switching can be very powerful and BWA-MEM works well with various types of data (short reads, long reads, low error rates, high error rates, etc.).

Syrian government refuses United Nations truce terms for Aleppo

Reporting from Beirut —
The Syrian government refused the U.N. envoy's latest proposal for a truce in Aleppo on Sunday, calling on insurgents to withdraw and saying it would not grant autonomy to the rebel-held east in exchange for calm.
Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said restoring government rule was a matter of "national sovereignty" and that Damascus would not allow the people of eastern Aleppo to be "hostages to 6,000 gunmen."
"We agreed on the need that terrorists should get out of east Aleppo to end the suffering of the civilians in the city," he said.
Moallem spoke after meeting with U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura, who acknowledged a "major disagreement" with Moallem and said a "creative" if interim solution was required to halt the violence.
"We are only proposing that there should not be a radical dramatic change in the administration of Aleppo until there is a political solution," he said.
The envoy warned in a recent interview with the U.K. newspaper the Guardian that the government was chasing a "pyrrhic victory" in Aleppo if it does not reach a political settlement with the opposition.
De Mistura warned that the military's approach would drive more moderate rebels into the ranks of Islamic State.
At least 172 civilians have been killed since the government renewed its assault on the besieged enclave six days ago, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The U.N. estimates 275,000 people are trapped inside. By Saturday, the government had damaged or destroyed every hospital in the east, according to the Syrian American Medical Society, which supports hospitals in Syria.
The government denies striking hospitals, and De Mistura said there was a "difference of opinion" about the attacks. He said he had proposed sending an observer team to inspect all the hospitals in Aleppo, but that the idea was not discussed further.
De Mistura has proposed that the Syrian government grant eastern Aleppo autonomy in exchange for peace, and called on the estimated 900 Al Qaeda-linked militants in the east to depart to other rebel-held territory.
Moallem also called on the militants to withdraw, and said he hoped that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration would cut off support for "terrorists" in Syria and "rein in" the states backing them, a reference to Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
President Bashar Assad said this week that Trump could prove to be a "natural ally" to Damascus.
On Sunday, pro-government forces advanced into parts of the strategically important Hanano district, according to state media and the Observatory.
"The regime is targeting everything that moves," said Ammar Sakkar, an officer with the Fastaqim rebel faction in the city. He said the government had captured the Zuhour hill, which overlooks parts of the east.
Rebels outside the city have launched two unsuccessful offensives to break the government's siege and have shelled the government-held western districts.
Earlier Sunday, at least eight children were killed when rockets struck a school in government-held western Aleppo, the Observatory said. Syrian state media said a teacher was also killed in the attack.
In the opposition-run village of Nusaybeen, outside Damascus, activists said at least one child was killed in a presumed government airstrike on a primary school.
The government has stepped up its attacks outside Damascus in the western Ghouta region after forcing rebels in eastern Ghouta to surrender earlier this year. The Observatory says at least 30 civilians have been killed in western Ghouta over the past 4 days.
In Aleppo, an airstrike early Sunday killed a family of six in their home in the Sakhour district in the east, according to the activist-run Thiqa News Agency. Witnesses said they smelled chlorine gas, and rescuers said the family appeared to have suffocated from toxic gas.
The allegations could not be independently verified. A U.N. investigative team has said the government has used chlorine as a chemical weapon on at least two occasions during the 5 1/2 -year conflict.

Everyone will have to stay home until April; Covid's second coming is overwhelming…
London: The Super Spread Covid is currently spreading and increasing deaths in the UK. 964 deaths were reported last day. 55,892 people were newly diagnosed with the disease. Scientists are warning that a national lockdown should be declared, as it was in March last year, when the country's frightening Covid rate were increasing. The main proposal is to close all schools. But the country is at a loss as to what to do with the second coming of the genetically modified Covid.
People will have to stay indoors without going out during the first days of the new year. In places like Kent, London and Essex, the number of Covid cases is very high. Tests carried out in the next few weeks found that Covid was infected in several areas and in three percent of the population. Tier-5 restrictions will first be imposed in these areas. The next level of control after Tier-5 is not yet clear.
