the doorman came forward as i got down from the taxi and stepped on the gravel covered posh driveway. he looked splendid and familiar. seemed he had always been there. he was there when somerset maugham came visiting. he came forward to open the door for the japanese who changed the name of his hotel to shonan ryokan. he was most certainly there when the armenian siblings, martin and tigran sarkies, came from isfahan in persia to singapore to negotiate the lease with the owners of this building: the arab businessman and philanthropist syed mohammed alsagoff and the teochew entrepreneur seah liang seah.
the sea doesn't come up to the raffles hotel anymore, but time and the whole world still meets here. And of course, the sikh doorman in his turban and splendid livery stands dignified and welcoming, after all what's the raffles minus him.
our walk from raffles hotel to masjid sultan had come about mainly because we had to reach food at the end of it; essential requirement if my daughter is with us. i knew it was a beautiful route but i had no idea this kilometre or so by half a kilometre was this rich in history and that too so colourful.
my memories came rushing up. seah leang seah was involved with the raffles hotel? for nearly fifteen years i'd worked at a shophouse just three streets down named after him, but not known this. i felt oddly possessive of that name and the gambier "king" seah eu chin's son's very existence. my street, my hang out for so long.
as we walked along beach road, old and new played its game with us. on our left, purvis street.
i dashed in to see if yet con restaurant was still around. the ads written for this hainanese eatery by jim aitchison of ball partnership had made me giggle, made me want to write… back in the nineties. yeah, it's here, intact and as run down as ever.
on our right, past the too tall, just up south beach towers, the older shaw towers where you can see hindi films at jade and prince and where once the alhambra theatre stood, showing erol flynn films among others. in the 1930s it became the first air conditioned theatre in singapore.
turn your head nostalgically at liang seah and there's bugis junction. i know you well and yet not. for did i even get a hint as i shopped at the old hylam street pavilion within you for years, that once it was a street lined with brothels filled with young japanese girls often not even twenty? propelled the growth of japanese business in the city back in the late 1900s, said the article i was reading for a bit of research.
we reach the sharp edged towers of the gateway designed by the legendary i.m. pei. my first boss in singapore had told me it's not really liked by the chinese, because of those very edges, too sharp, bad feng shui. the empty plot in front of it seems to have at last enticed a buyer. another thunking buliding coming up. suffocating.
but fear not, the playful stretch of ofir road is here. not too spanking and gleaming, beginning of the kampong glam area; the plot of land linked to the 1819 deal for singapore between sir stamford raffles, the sultan of johor and temenggong abdul rehman. the british got their trading post and the sultan and the malay and arab communities got assigned this upscale neighbourhood as their designated place to reside, part of the raffles plan of 1822 which divided the settlement according to different ethnic groups. divide… and ye shall rule.
gorgeous bold art on the walls, tall trees with swaying branches, sunlight dappled shophouses with restaurants and bars, people sitting at tables along the pavement, painting… hot pita baking at the new bakery. ofir road has a mind and atmosphere of its own. something begins to feel ineffably free and happy. especially after the pita-dipped-in-hummus break.
we go toward arab street where kilometres of lace and silk and linen and cotton from japan, india, italy, france and who knows where else get sold. all my friends have at least one chantilly lace saree. orders come from india regularly still. three varieties available, writer can provide more details on enquiry.
we are at bussorah street and there's the golden dome of masjid sultan. the original mosque was built between 1824 and 1826, when the sultan decided he needed a mosque here close to his palace and got the east india company to pay for it. when i read about the way the rich and famous and elite and super elite of india and malaya and this part of the world conducted themselves in the pre and post colonial era, i really can't just blame the guys who came across the seas and took over practically a continent for their greed. there was greed everywhere. on every side. in every palace, potentate and treaty. the sultan and the temenggong received "small fortunes", an annual "stipend" and "the use of" the area for their residence (i quote wikipedia), as part of the treaty that ceded power to the british.
the management of the mosque was handed over to a board of trustees later. in 1924, a new masjid was commissioned to serve the community which had grown considerably. architect denis santry chose the saracenic style with minarets and more. it took four years to build the present masjid sultan, which is beautiful and has that aura of arabia in its lines and colours, especially against a bright blue sky.
on bussorah street we found the turkish restaurant my daughter remembered from a previous visit. the maitre d' was from turkey without a doubt, the waiters were from the east however: philippines. alas there was no turkish delight, the kanefe stepped in to make us forget our woes. it was crisp and sweet and mysterious and magnificent.
but before we got there, perhaps the most oh, oh, oh! moment (remember lady macbeth? "all the perfumes of arabia will not sweeten this little hand. oh, oh, oh!"). well, all the perfumes of arabia, each and every one i bet, sat, sorry elegantly reclined, on the shelves of a tiny shop on a bend in the street.
my daughter rushed into the shop. she wanted an alladin type of glass bottle displayed in the window. the lady at the shop was pleasant and friendly. i gave in to a desire… could we try some attar? sure we could. could we have a mild one? of course. a roll on touched my wrist. i took a sniff. it was nice… very mild. daughter decided we had to buy. so we both did. my first attar, galaxy.
the lady accentuated the words "alcohol free" in her pitch. i asked her who were her biggest customers. the japanese, she replied.
i knew that accent, it was not from malaysia… are you from india, i asked. yes, said her companion, a man with an intent gaze. they were from andhra pradesh. again a surge of memory and history. the sea is never too far away in singapore, it's often right here within us.
i've always loved the frangipani trees in front of the raffles, old and sure, scattering flowers on the red flagstone pavements and the gravelly driveway.

Seven Samurai Review (Classic Write-Up)
It's a testament to the quality of the 1954 motion picture Seven Samurai that its influence has so permeated American pop culture that we're still feeling it 62 years later. The film has inspired countless feature films over the numerous decades, namely in how it was remade in America into the well-known MGM western The Magnificent Seven (which is receiving a Denzel Washington led remake this year). Even when one separates Seven Samurai from its massive presence in the spectrum of the worldwide pop culture scene, one can easily see why this movies stuck around for so long.
In this Akira Kurosawa film, a village of farmers is coming under attack from ruthless bandits and annihilation seems all but inevitable. A small group of the inhabitants of this residence go off in search of samurai warriors to defend their domain, even though they have no financial way to compensate them (they intend to tide the combatants over with rice and even that goes missing shortly into their journey). Their voyage soon takes them to a ronin named Kambei (Takashi Shimura), who agrees to both aid the villagers in their task and be a master/trainer to a young man named Katsushiro (Isao Kimura).
Over time, Kambei and Katsushiro help the band of villagers acquire the services of five other samurai, with one of the samurai being an individual named Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune), a character who becomes the heart and soul of the entire motion picture. When he first enters the story, he appears as a bumbling drunk, seemingly having all of the combat skills of an inert hippopotamus. Afterwards, he follows the group of six samurai much to their derision and it becomes clear to the audience that Kikuchiyo will be more of a source of effective comedy than anything else in this feature film.
But here's where the true storytelling genius of Seven Samurai is exemplified, as Kikuchiyo soon proves to be far more than what he seems at first glance. Oh he provides plenty of yuks, especially in a sequence where his pride gets the better of him as he attempts to ride a horse. But his backstory is slowly but surely revealed to both the viewer and the other samurai, and it turns out he was an orphaned offspring of villagers just like the ones he's been tasked to protect. The script does a masterful job dispensing this background information in a succinct manner while Toshiro Mifune is similarly in top-notch form ensuring that the more comedic side of this character can co-exist organically with more nuanced aspects of his personality that come forth in the later sequences of Seven Samurai.
Kikuchiyo isn't the only character to garner exceptionally more depth as the story moves along, and that may be the secret to why Seven Samurai works so well. The driving force behind this story is that the titular group of warriors must help protect this group of ragtag villagers and various conflicts and interactions between the downtrodden residents and mercenaries isn't glossed over in a two minute montage. Craft is put into the sundry of character dynamics present in the story, with maybe my favorite being the rapport between Kikychiyo and a constantly sorrowful villager named Yohei (Bokuzen Hidari).
Folks, there's a reason Akira Kurosawa is considered a silver screen legend in the grand scheme of cinema as an artform, and Seven Samurai allows one to see his visual stylings at their apex. There are so many gorgeous shots and pieces of imagery to be found in this motion picture (I particularly like the image of three of the titular samurai walking by the graves of fallen warriors in the last scene of the movie) to keep the One.Perfect.Shot. Twitter feed going for all of eternity. On a similar note, there's also a reason why Seven Samurai continues to resonate as a prominent influence of art in the 21st century. When you make a film this well made and riveting, it's bound to stick around in the pop culture consciousness for awhile.

Now I am left as a untrained consumer that really wants this cam to work,so, my question is being there are 2 wires to attach the outlet to the cam and 3 that come out of the cam how are the unions made and what is the purpose of each? My best guess is that there are 2 positive and 1 common ground. Thanks!
1.)Shutter does not release 2.) How to continously (3 per sec) take Pics?
Backlight I am having a few problems, but I'll bet they are all related: 1. backlight icon stays on 2. white lines across picture on playback or: 3. often picture will look b/w; very sharp contrasts. 4. All looks ok when taking picture; problems start when reviewing or putting on computer. I have used "reset" with no help.

An example of this is the range finder will roll down but 3 notches will stay lit up ( 1 on one side 2 on the other. Do i need to send it to back to Canon?


It looks like The Great British Bake Off Christmas special is going to be a tense one.
We all know how much dramz a cake can create (we mean, who could forget baked Alaska-gate?), and it seems someone will be stirring the pot in the festive one-off.
The trailer arrived last night – and it shows one of the contestants accusing another of cheating. Oo-er.
The programme will feature some of our favourite stars from the past six years, including series three's James Morton and series five's Chetna Makan.
In the clip, we see tensions rise between Chetna and James after they serve up similar festive loaves. A baker's true nightmare.
To be fair, she has a point. James actually admits to sneaking a look at her design, having decided that he's unhappy with his own.
Cripes. We guess we'll have to wait until Christmas Day to see how this one pans out.
However it ends, we're certainly going to have to relish the episode. It's the last ever to feature Mel, her co-presenter Sue Perkins and judge Mary Berry. Waaah.
It was announced earlier this year that the show would be moving from BBC1 to Channel 4, and that judge Paul Hollywood would be the only member of the team to move with it.


Holidays are over. I feel sad and bored. It's like the holidays never even happened. The New Year's Eve was especially wonderful: all the food I had ordered for the holidays failed to arrive on time, so there was nothing to celebrate with, and at 11 o'clock - 23.00 in military time - I went to bed with a book on Eastern history. Isn't that quaint!
The wretched Russian monk caused a tremendous sensation in the world but is only regretted by poor dear Alicky who might have ruined the whole future of Russia through her influence. I am sure she thinks herself like their Empress Catherine.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs lost not time in receiving Bratiano. Their talk was exceedingly friendly. At the very outset, Bratiano told Pokrovski that he was determined to establish the alliance between Russia and Rumania.
Prince Carol and Bratiano have been invited to dinner at Tsarskoye Selo, tomorrow.

'Teachers key to development of Gaelic language in Scotland' claim as new three-year plan unveiled
By Hector MacKenzie
- hector.mackenzie@hnmedia.co.uk
Published: 12:40, 02 October 2020
Ken Muir
THE vital role of teachers in the promotion of the Gaelic language in Scotland is acknowledged in a new three-year plan.
The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTC Scotland) has launched its revised Gaelic Language Plan.
The plan sets out four key commitments:
* To raise awareness of Gaelic as a language and to support its use through integrated communications.
* To support the development of learning and teaching in Gaelic throughout Scotland.
* To encourage growth of the Gaelic language both within GTC Scotland and externally.
* To promote and support teacher professional development in the Gaelic language.
It complements the National Gaelic Language Plan which aims to promote the language and culture in Scotland. It outlines the need to explore new routes to promote, recruit, educate and retain the Gaelic education workforce and review existing routes into the profession.
And it acknowledges the role GTC Scotland has to play in addressing these challenges.
"Undoubtedly, Gaelic teachers are one of the most important resources in the success of Gaelic education across Scotland and in order to build upon this, an increase in the number of teachers for both Gaelic medium education and Gaelic language education is required." – Ken Muir
As part of its second commitment, GTC Scotland will work with Bòrd na Gàidhlig and other key stakeholders to support individuals to become Gaelic language teachers by ensuring teacher registration processes and information are clear and helpful.
GTC Scotland has already published the 'So you want to teach in Gaelic?' booklet, as part of this commitment, aimed at prospective and current teachers looking to teach through the medium of Gaelic or Gaelic as a language.
Ken Muir, GTC Scotland chief executive and registrar said: "As the professional body for teachers in Scotland, it is only right that our Gaelic plan highlights education's key role in promoting the Gaelic language in Scotland. We have been working closely with partners already to support the National Plan and are confident the revised plan will strengthen that commitment."
Jim Whannel, director of Gaelic education at Bòrd na Gàidhlig said: "Bòrd na Gàidhlig were delighted to work in partnership with GTC Scotland in the production of the 'So you want to teach in Gaelic?' booklet. Undoubtedly, Gaelic teachers are one of the most important resources in the success of Gaelic education across Scotland and in order to build upon this, an increase in the number of teachers for both Gaelic medium education (GME) and Gaelic language education is required.
"This resource will play an important part in promoting both the various routes into a career in Gaelic teaching and the support available. Furthermore, Bòrd na Gàidhlig welcomes the revised GTC Scotland Gaelic Language Plan and its continued support and commitment to the language."
Jim Whannel.
John Swinney, deputy First Minister and cabinet secretary for education and skills said: "The Scottish Government recognises the role of Scottish Public Bodies in supporting Gaelic and the aims of our National Plan.
"Education is key to growing the number of speakers and GTC Scotland has a vital part to play in supporting Gaelic Medium Teachers and those interested in joining the profession.I am sure this Plan will ensure that Gaelic is at the heart of their work going forward."
Gayle Gorman, HM chief inspector and chief executive of Education Scotland, said: "Education Scotland welcomes the key actions that GTC Scotland has identified for growing Gaelic in Scotland. We are proud to evidence the successes of the Gaelic sector. We recognise that high-quality teachers are the most valuable asset that Scotland has for securing a sustainable future for the Gaelic language. Teachers need to be continually valued and supported in this crucial role.We look forward to continuing to work with our partners in meeting outcomes for Gaelic."
There are several routes into Gaelic teaching in Scotland. Degree and postgraduate courses accredited by GTC Scotland are available at University of Edinburgh, University of Strathclyde, University of the Highlands and Islands, available through several campuses including Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and Lews Castle College.
Bòrd na Gàidhlig has supported a number of local authorities to enable those with a teaching qualification to participate in year-long Gaelic immersion courses.
At University of Aberdeen, the Streap programme enables qualified teachers to further develop their Gaelic language skills. Primary teachers are also encouraged to consider delivering Gaelic via the 1+2 Languages approach. Further information about Gaelic teaching routes can be found in the 'So you want to teach in Gaelic?' booklet.
Shonagh McLennan, principal teacher at Inverness Royal Academy said: "It's important to me that I have the opportunity to introduce Gaelic to the next generation. I learned Gaelic myself and therefore understand how hard it can be to learn a new language. I am pleased that I can use this experience to help my pupils.
"I have a degree in both Gaelic and history and am fortunate enough to be able to use both with my pupils every day."
Ishbal MacLeod, teacher of Gàidhlig and social subjects, at Greenfaulds Academy, Cumbernauld, and a former GME pupil, said:"It is a joy to be involved in giving our young people an opportunity to learn the language and experience the culture as they follow the curriculum through the medium of Gaelic, as I did. You can see their confidence with the language and as young people grow. I don't know of any other career that can give you a feeling of success like that."
Kevin Munsie
Kevin Munsie, a primary teacher, on Skye, said: "Teaching children and seeing them develop is great. Doing it through the language we love is unique."
Iain MacSween PGDE student, Gaelic Secondary, University of the Highlands and Island, said: "Teaching Gaelic enables me to indulge in my passion for the language, while at the same time nurturing and encouraging the next generation of speakers."
Iain MacSween: Passion.
Professor Neil Simco, vice-principal research and impact, University of the Highlands and Islands and GTC Scotland Council member, said:"I started to learn Gaelic in 2011, when I first attended a short course at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, which is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands partnership.
"My initial motivation for learning was a basic professional courtesy to be able to at least greet Gaelic speaking colleagues in the language. Over the last few years, I have come to appreciate the significance of Gaelic as part of Scotland's identity, national and community life and it has been a real privilege to progress with my own learning."

LEED certification promotes design and construction practices that increase profitability, while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings, and improving occupant health and well-being. LEED certification is obtained based on a point system, and includes many areas that are directly or indirectly related to choice of materials. These include recycled content, potential for product reuse, impact on energy and water consumption, the likelihood of product or coating emissions, impact on indoor air quality, thermal comfort, durability, maintenance requirements, and impact on indoor light.
The most straightforward way that Stainless Steel contributes to LEED certification is through its high recycled content and high salvage rate at end of life. SSINA provides a stainless steel Fact Sheet that can be submitted during certification. In addition, stainless steel has the potential to influence other LEED points based on how it is used in a specific application. A LEED expert should be consulted before designing a project intended for LEED certification, but here are a few examples that show potential ways that stainless steel could contribute towards additional LEED points.
Indoor Light: Reflective stainless steel panels could be used to bring natural light into a building.
Impact on Energy Consumption: The high solar reflective index (SRI) of most bare stainless steel surfaces is high enough to reflect away and dissipate heat so that air conditioning requirements are reduced when it is used for high slope roofing and walls. Also, stainless steel sun screens could be placed over windows to reduce air conditioning expenses. They allow natural light to enter while reducing heat gain.
Maintenance Requirements: Stainless steel is easy to clean, and requires no environmentally hazardous chemicals.

Whether or not these concerns are justified is another issue altogether. While they might be difficult to measure, they are certainly issues that need to be addressed in some way, shape or form. Many organizations simply don't have the solutions to adequately determine how much the cloud is costing them. Many of these companies are simply using dated systems that track their cloud performance, limiting the amount of information that can be tracked.
Some businesses also have trouble scaling their cloud solutions to the point where the organization benefits most. This happens when you're spending too much on cloud services you don't need, spending too little and creating an operational deficiency, managing and administering the cloud in a way that doesn't create a profit for your organization. You need to understand how much space and and processing will be required of your organization so that it can handle your cloud requests, as well as the flexibility needed to ensure change can be made easily enough. What it amounts to is understanding how your business' cloud technology handles its bottom line.
The cloud is nice for business purposes, but without taking a closer look at your finances, it's easy to forget how much you actually use the cloud. Look at your personal use of cloud services as an example. If you use Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and other cloud-based services, while they are all relatively cheap, they can add up and cost you a considerable amount of money.
Depending on your business' specific needs, you'll need various cloud services that will vary by industry. How will your organization use the cloud? To find out, reach out to us at 407 - 745 - 1848.

Fighting Environmental Racism in North Carolina
By Vann R. Newkirk II
Despite an agreement with the surrounding community, the landfill in Rogers-Eubanks, outside of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has continued to expand over the past forty years.Photograph by Jeremy M. Lange
On an autumn afternoon in 1972, the people of Rogers-Eubanks, a historically black community just outside Chapel Hill, North Carolina, gathered beneath a tree to witness the end of a dispute. They were led by David Caldwell, Sr., one of Chapel Hill's first black police officers, in whose back yard they stood. Before them was a delegation of local politicians, including Howard Lee, Chapel Hill's first black mayor. For the previous five months, the community had been at odds with the county, the city, and the state university over the placement of a new landfill on Eubanks Road. Now Lee made a proposal. In exchange for agreeing to the construction of the landfill, Rogers-Eubanks would receive some of the municipal services that it lacked—sidewalks, water and sewer connections, a community center. After the landfill reached capacity, it would be turned into a recreation area. Caldwell and his neighbors relented. They looked on as an agreement was signed. Chapel Hill purchased eighty acres of land and began development.
More than four decades later, the landfill has been expanded and there is no recreation area. A manhole cover near the site of the agreement serves as a symbol of services not rendered; many of the original residents of the community still lack sewer connections. "The most disgusting thing that I have with Chapel Hill was that it did not follow through with what I thought was an honest commitment," Lee, who is now retired from public life, told me recently. "Unfortunately, when I left, they had amnesia." Local residents have been fighting continuously to see Lee's promises realized, first under the auspices of the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association (RENA), then with the Coalition to End Environmental Racism (CEER). The movement has spanned generations. David Caldwell, Jr., the son of the man under whose tree the original meeting took place, and who was present there as a boy, is one of today's activists. "We had to learn how to fight," he said.
The American environmental-justice movement began in Afton, a small town sixty miles north of Chapel Hill, ten years after the agreement in Rogers-Eubanks. In 1978, Jim Hunt, who would go on to serve four terms as governor of North Carolina, faced one of his first political crises. A local trucker and his sons had dumped thousands of gallons of oil on state roads, rather than disposing of it lawfully. The oil contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a class of chemicals so toxic that Congress banned their production the following year. With the support of the fledgling Environmental Protection Agency, state officials—including Lee, who had by then become the secretary of the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development—chose a site in Afton for a landfill to contain the hazardous waste from the cleanup effort.
Warren County, where Afton is located, is one of the most vulnerable counties in North Carolina, with a quarter of its population living in poverty. Like Rogers-Eubanks, it was a landing place for former slaves during Reconstruction, and it continues to have one of the highest proportions of black residents of any county in the state. Four years of litigation, independent scientific examination, and criticism in the local media could not dissuade Hunt and the E.P.A. from disposing of the PCBs in Afton. In 1982, as construction moved along on the landfill, organizations such as the United Church of Christ and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference sent in organizers to assist the protesters there. One of those organizers was Benjamin Chavis, a longtime activist in the civil-rights movement. "Warren County made headlines," he said. "And because it made headlines in the media, we began to get calls from other communities. But you know that in the eighties you couldn't just say there was discrimination. You had to prove it."
In 1987, the United Church of Christ, through its Commission for Racial Justice, prepared a report, "Toxic Wastes and Race in the United States," which provided the concrete evidence that had so far been lacking. The church's researchers found that race was more strongly correlated with the placement of a hazardous-waste facility than any other single factor, and remained so even when they controlled for income and geographic area. The report also indicated that three of the country's five largest commercial hazardous-waste landfills, comprising forty per cent of the nation's entire commercial-landfill capacity, were located in black or Hispanic communities. Subsequent studies of the health effects of living near such facilities have been indeterminate, in part because it is difficult to track residents through a lifetime of exposure. Nevertheless, a review of fifty epidemiological studies, published in 2000, found that increases in self-reported health problems were common, and that adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as low birth weight, genetic defects, and infant mortality, were associated with living near a landfill that handles toxic chemicals. Two decades after its initial report, the United Church of Christ published a follow-up, "Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty." It found that little had changed in the intervening years; most of those living within 1.8 miles of a hazardous-waste facility today are people of color.
Rogers-Eubanks provides an object lesson in the political and regulatory difficulties that communities of color can face once a hazardous-waste facility is built. For three decades, none of the parties listed on the original deed of sale for the 1972 landfill—the Town of Chapel Hill, the Town of Carrboro, and Orange County—followed through on Lee's promises. In the same time period, the county requested grants from the E.P.A. to extend water and sewer services to two mostly white communities in the same watershed. Then, in 2007, instead of closing the landfill on Eubanks Road, the board of county commissioners voted unanimously to approve a solid-waste transfer station as an addition to the already sprawling complex. Later, facing stiff opposition from the community and local media, the board backpedalled. According to the Reverend Robert Lee Campbell, the leader of RENA and CEER, local governments relied on the legal concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction, which allows municipalities to make decisions about areas beyond their official limits. Even though Rogers-Eubanks citizens could vote for county commissioners, they were politically excluded from Chapel Hill, the town that managed and used the land, and neither the county nor Chapel Hill had any obligation to provide services, aside from places to drop off waste. "Most of the council members didn't even know where [the landfill] was," Campbell said.

In 2007, Campbell filed a claim with the E.P.A.'s Office of Civil Rights. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents government entities that receive federal funds from discriminating and provides mechanisms by which individuals can seek redress. But as Chavis noted, the burden of proving discrimination is extraordinarily high. An independent review of the E.P.A.'s track record, conducted by Deloitte in 2011, found that the agency had "not adequately adjudicated Title VI complaints." In its forty-five years of existence, the agency has yet to make a single formal finding of discrimination. It rejects the vast majority of Title VI claims before investigation. At the time that Campbell filed his claim, the E.P.A. had performed no civil-rights investigations in North Carolina since digital record-keeping began, in 1993. Ultimately, the agency rejected most of Campbell's claim, on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction, because it had not granted funds to Chapel Hill or Carrboro.
RENA and CEER continued their push. In November, 2009, representatives of the organizations were invited to the White House Clean Energy Forum on Public Health to present their case to the E.P.A., which had recently been taken over by its first black administrator, an Obama appointee named Lisa Jackson. CEER activists also waged a grassroots campaign in Orange County. Residents learned how to perform land, soil, and water studies with equipment that they borrowed from university scientists. What they discovered—raw sewage seeping from yards, elevated levels of fecal and E. coli contamination in local water sources, toxic chemicals in the air—was startling enough to bring in investigators from the Orange County Department of Health, whose findings were even more serious than what residents expected. Less than half of all septic systems were in compliance with code, numerous sources of drinking water were contaminated with fecal bacteria, and nine out of eleven wells tested failed to meet health standards.
Finally, in 2012, soon after the E.P.A. announced that it would investigate part of Campbell's claim, Orange County yielded, pledging to build a community center in Rogers-Eubanks. The following year, county officials decided to extend water and sewer services. The community center was finished in 2014, and engineering studies are under way for laying down sewer and water lines sometime this year. Local, state, and federal officials are finally moving to keep the promises that were made forty-three years ago. Community leaders are pleased with the progress but not yet content. "I don't feel anybody should fight as long as we've been fighting to get something that's God-given," Caldwell told me. "It's not a temporary thing. You fight until the end. You fight until you can't fight anymore. And that's my goal, to fight until it's done."

Q: Reparameterized Surface Changes First Fundamental Form Suppose $q(r, \theta)$ is a parameterized surface with first fundamental form given as a matrix as
$\begin{bmatrix}
g_{rr} & g_{r\theta} \\
g_{r\theta} & g_{\theta\theta}
\end{bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & r^2
\end{bmatrix}$
I am asked to show that it is possible to reparameterize $q$ in terms of two other parameters $u,v$ so that we can instead write:
$\begin{bmatrix}
g_{uu} & g_{uv} \\
g_{uv} & g_{vv}
\end{bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}$.
Now I know how to compute the first fundamental form. What I don't know is how to work out what to write for $u$ and $v$. Help is appreciated.

A: Supposed that you define
$$
h(r, \theta) = q(r, \frac{\theta}{r}).
$$
Now $h_{\theta\theta}$ becomes 1, right? What about the other entries of the form?
Doing substitution tricks like this can often help to "fix up" the first fundamental form, at least locally. (Obviously this is useless at $r = 0$, but your first parameterization is invalid there to, so it's probably OK.)
I just realized that in this context, it's not clear what $u$ and $v$ are. I should have written
$$
h(u, v) = q(u, \frac{v}{u}).
$$

'I didn't know if I'd wake up': Months after COVID-19 diagnosis, Cordova mom still suffering

Three months after testing positive for COVID-19, Natalie Nowell is free of the virus but still plagued by lingering physical issues.
Though the severity of her symptoms varies from day to day, the mother of three young boys is constantly fatigued, suffers from headaches, insomnia, swelling, tingling in her hands and face, shortness of breath and fogginess. She sometimes struggles to articulate when speaking or has difficulty reading aloud to her kids, and she experiences severe pain in the base of her head and neck, for which she is now in physical therapy.
"What COVID has done to my body is showing up like I have a concussion," she said.
Like thousands of Memphians and millions of people around the world, Nowell — despite never needing to be hospitalized due to the virus — is navigating a new normal after recovering from COVID-19 and facing an uncertain future, which could be impacted by the virus for months or years to come. The virus is so new, the long-term ramifications on the health of people who had it remains unclear.

A June report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 35% of people who tested positive for the virus in an outpatient setting had not returned to their normal level of health two to three weeks later. A review in the Journal of the American Medical Association of several studies of people who had recovered from COVID-19 found large numbers of middle-aged patients suffered serious cardiac problems after their recovery, even if they were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic.
For the 34-year-old Cordova resident who tested positive for COVID-19 in early May, the past three months have been physically and emotionally draining.
Nowell first started experiencing symptoms April 23. She went to the emergency room and was tested for COVID-19, but tested negative. Doctors also ordered blood work and a chest X-ray, but no issue was found, so she went home. Within 24 hours, her symptoms had worsened dramatically.
"I was feeling like I was going to have a panic attack, (that) was really how it started," she said. "I felt like my chest was heavy, I was short of breath, I just felt off."

The next day, she had a fever, a cough and a headache, and her shortness of breath had worsened. Due to her negative test, she didn't think she had COVID-19, but she knew her illness was serious. She drank lots of fluids, had chicken noodle soup, took vitamins and Tylenol, and rested as much as she could. But things kept getting worse.
"By that night, I was having hallucinations in the middle of the night. I would wake up in a panic," Nowell said. "I'd wake up not being able to breathe."
She called her general practitioner's office and got a telehealth appointment with another doctor at the practice. After she described her symptoms, he told her she might have a urinary tract infection or a sinus infection and prescribed some over-the-counter medications Nowell was already taking. She said she felt the doctor didn't listen to her or take her seriously and she was worried that she wouldn't get any medical help for her worsening symptoms.
"I was thinking, 'I am scared, I don't want to go to sleep again,' " she said. "I had moments where I didn't know if I'd wake up."
She then got an appointment with Dr. Nora Maldonado, a primary care physician with Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, who diagnosed Nowell with bronchitis, gave her a prescription for an inhaler and cough medication that also helped her sleep, and told her to get re-tested for COVID-19.
That second test came back positive, which brought on mixed feelings.
"One, part of me was like, 'Finally, I knew this had to be it.' It was a relief," Nowell said. "And then two, it was fear. I know I legitimately have the pandemic. The thing that the world is shutting down for is in my house."
More than three months after that positive test result, Nowell no longer has COVID-19 but is still experiencing serious physical symptoms. Maldonado said she is seeing more and more patients like Nowell who are experiencing respiratory difficulty, fatigue and sometimes neurological issues post COVID-19.
Previously:Childhood immunizations have dropped during COVID-19. Will it matter as schools reopen?
"It just takes time for them to recover, a lot more time than you would expect from another illness," she said. "It can take them time to get back to that baseline, and some of these were people who were healthy, who were running multiple miles every day."
Maldonado said it's too soon to know if these ailments will be permanent or if they'll eventually fade away. The lingering impacts of the virus vary person to person, she said, like the symptoms during the infection period. While the long recovery period could simply be something unique to the virus, it could also be because medical professionals are still learning about the virus and what the best ways to treat it are.
On top of the physical impacts of the virus, there are the financial implications of long-term health care needs and the emotional toll of COVID-19. Nowell said the virus is a part of her family's daily life. When she was sick, she was worried about her family constantly and couldn't kiss her sons or see her father, who has cancer.
"I'm still healing through the emotional trauma of how scary it was, waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to breathe, watching my family watch me go through this," she said.
Throughout her illness and her recovery, Nowell repeated the same Bible verse to herself over and over again, 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
She constantly reminded herself not to give in to fear and to think with a sound mind. She said she hopes others who haven't been directly impacted by the virus or who believe it is overblown stop to think about how they can work with their community to address the pandemic.
"We need to think beyond ourselves and consider our fellow man and think about how we can love our neighbor," she said. "I'm one of the lucky ones who made it out alive even if I do have long-term effects. There are lots of people who did not make it out and who have family members who did not make it out."
