MAGNIFICENT MERCOLA: US Officials Demand Ban on Dr. Mercola's Book
Peggy Therese Napier
In brazen violation of the first amendment of our Constitution, democrats in the senate are demanding tech CEOs such as Amazon take down products or information that they (democrats) don't like. When companies decide that they don't want to sell something or post something, this is business deciding what they will or will not share on their platforms; this is their right. However, when congress persons demand or influence these companies, this is government interference in free speech.
Let's take a look at Dr. Mercola's story below.
Since the publication of my book, "The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing The Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal," which became an instant bestseller on Amazon.com, there's been a significant increase in censorship.
September 7, 2021, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the chief executive officer of Amazon.com, demanding an "immediate review" of Amazon's algorithms to weed out books peddling "COVID misinformation."
Warren specifically singled out "The Truth About COVID-19" as a prime example of "highly-ranked and favorably-tagged books based on falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines and cures" that she wants to see banned from sale.
September 9, 2021, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff sent letters to Facebook and Amazon, also calling for more prolific censorship of vaccine information.
Warren based her call to ban my book on a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, despite Facebook having discredited that report three weeks earlier, stating the CCDH manufactured a faulty narrative without evidence against the 12 individuals targeted in its report.
Since the publication of my book, "The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing The Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal," which became an instant bestseller on Amazon.com, there's been a significant increase in censorship and ruthless attacks.
Sadly, many of these attacks have been levied by the very people elected to safeguard democracy and our Constitutional rights. Most recently, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sent a letter1 to Andy Jassy, chief executive officer of Amazon.com, demanding an "immediate review" of Amazon's algorithms to weed out books peddling "COVID misinformation."2,3,4
"Dr. Mercola has been described as 'the most influential spreader of coronavirus misinformation online," Warren writes,5 adding: "Not only was this book the top result when searching either 'COVID-19' or 'vaccine' in the categories of 'All Departments' and 'Books'; it was tagged as a 'Best Seller' by Amazon and the '#1 Best Seller' in the 'Political Freedom' category.
"The book perpetuates dangerous conspiracies about COVID-19 and false and misleading information about vaccines. It asserts that vitamin C, vitamin D and quercetin … can prevent COVID-19 infection … And the book contends that vaccines cannot be trusted, when study after study has demonstrated the overwhelming effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
"It should come as no surprise that the book is rife with misinformation. One of the authors, Dr. Mercola, is one of the 'Disinformation Dozen,' a group responsible for 65% of anti-vaccine content on Facebook and Twitter ..."
Two days later, September 9, 2021, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., followed in Warren's footsteps, sending letters6 to Facebook and Amazon, calling for more prolific censorship of vaccine information.7
Modern-Day Book Burning
Essentially, what Warren is calling for is modern-day book burning. "The Truth About COVID-19" exposes the hidden agenda behind the pandemic, showing the countermeasures have nothing to do with public health and everything to do with ushering in a new social and economic system based on totalitarian technocracy-led control. So, it's not misinformation they fear. It's the truth they want to prevent from spreading.
To make her case, Warren leans on a discredited report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). In that report, "The Disinformation Dozen,"8 the CCDH founder Imran Ahmed claims to have identified the top most influential "anti-vaxxers" in the U.S. The problem is Ahmed made that up.
"[The 'Disinformation Dozen'] are responsible for about just 0.05% of all views of vaccine-related content on Facebook. This includes all vaccine-related posts they've shared, whether true or false, as well as URLs associated with these people. ~ Monika Bickert, VP Facebook Content Policy."
CCDH 'Manufactured Narrative Without Evidence' Facebook Says
August 18, 2021 — nearly three weeks before Warren sent that letter to Amazon — Facebook actually called out the CCDH for having manufactured a faulty narrative without evidence against the 12 individuals targeted in its reports.9 Monika Bickert, vice president of Facebook content policy, set the record straight, stating:10
"In recent weeks, there has been a debate about whether the global problem of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation can be solved simply by removing 12 people from social media platforms. People who have advanced this narrative contend that these 12 people are responsible for 73% of online vaccine misinformation on Facebook. There isn't any evidence to support this claim …
"That said, any amount of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation that violates our policies is too much by our standards — and we have removed over three dozen Pages, groups and Facebook or Instagram accounts linked to these 12 people, including at least one linked to each of the 12 people, for violating our policies.
"We have also imposed penalties on nearly two dozen additional Pages, groups or accounts linked to these 12 people, like moving their posts lower in News Feed so fewer people see them or not recommending them to others. We've applied penalties to some of their website domains as well so any posts including their website content are moved lower in News Feed.
"The remaining accounts associated with these individuals are not posting content that breaks our rules, have only posted a small amount of violating content, which we've removed, or are simply inactive.
"In fact, these 12 people are responsible for about just 0.05% of all views of vaccine-related content on Facebook. This includes all vaccine-related posts they've shared, whether true or false, as well as URLs associated with these people.
"The report11 upon which the faulty narrative is based analyzed only a narrow set of 483 pieces of content over six weeks from only 30 groups, some of which are as small as 2,500 users. They are in no way representative of the hundreds of millions of posts that people have shared about COVID-19 vaccines in the past months on Facebook.
"Further, there is no explanation for how the organization behind the report identified the content they describe as 'anti-vax' or how they chose the 30 groups they included in their analysis. There is no justification for their claim that their data constitute a 'representative sample' of the content shared across our apps."
'Disinfo Dozen' Barely Register on the Social Media Radar
In its report, the CCDH claims 12 people, including me, are responsible for 65% of anti-vaccine content on social media. I'm not sure where Bickert got the 73% figure from. Either way, we're not responsible for anywhere near either 65% or 73%.
According to Facebook's own investigation, we account for a minuscule 0.05% of vaccine-related content — 1,460 times lower than the CCDH's outrageous claim. Still, Warren and myriad other government officials are using the CCDH as some sort of ultimate authority.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, White House press secretary Jen Psaki and President Biden have all used the CCDH as the sole source for their wild assertions. Now, Warren wants to use the CCDH's fraudulent report to ban the sale of certain books, and she does so even after Facebook itself has refuted the CCDH report as being baseless!
In an email, Kara Fredrick, a research fellow in technology policy at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News that:12
"Warren's push for more censorship is yet another example of the growing symbiosis between Big Tech and big government," and is indicative of a "broader trend: That of the Biden Administration and other progressive officials attempting to circumvent the Constitution by pressuring private tech companies to restrict freedom of expression under a broad definition of misinformation."
Fredrick further stressed that "A healthy body politic depends on the genuine interrogation of ideas" and that "Big Tech companies' eagerness to suppress specific points of view is already corroding our free society."
Freedom Is Corroding Before Our Eyes
Indeed, in early August 2021, I decided to remove the entire article archive from my website — articles I've made available for free for the last 24 years — and only make new articles readable for 48 hours. I did this in an effort to appease the power players who have an arsenal of overwhelming tools at their disposal and are actively using them against us.
Cyberwarfare and authoritarian forces are beyond our abilities to withstand, and these changes were deemed necessary to keep us moving forward, even if hobbled. Still, Warren is not satisfied. She wants me silenced entirely. She doesn't even want people willing to pay for the information to have access to it.
Clearly, she's panicked about something. Reading her letter, I see before me the giant Goliath, yelling and screaming for help, demanding an army of fighters because the pea-sized David with his makeshift slingshot is in the neighborhood.
What is she really afraid of? Why pick on a person whose social media reach is a fraction of 0.05%? Could it be because the 'Disinfo Dozen' are actually telling the truth, and the truth has a tendency to win against all odds?
Goal Posts Set in Shifting Quicksand
According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Biden met his 70% vaccination rate at the beginning of August 2021.13 For months, we were told that all would be well and good if only we would meet the goal of 70%.
Yet as soon as it was met, we were told 70% "should be seen as a floor, rather than a ceiling," and Biden went on the news saying his patience with the vaccine-hesitant is "wearing thin." Because a small minority — if we are to believe CDC data — refuses to take the shot despite myriad bribes, Biden is now calling on businesses with more than 100 employees to mandate the COVID shots or face fines.
It's beyond irrational, and to many seems highly irrational, unjustified, and unconstitutional. This is especially egregious as ALL illness and injury expenses will be paid by the patient, even though they were forced to take the injection as the companies have zero liability.
However, as noted by Dr. Peter Breggin in yesterday's interview, these actions are completely logical once you realize we are at war, and there are evil people out there who are intentionally trying to hurt us under the banner of providing protection. It's no different than being in an abusive relationship where the abuser says he or she is beating you and locking you in the basement "to make you a better person."
The Web of Elite Extremists Behind the Censorship
I've written many articles over the years about attempts by various groups and organizations to smear my credibility and label this site as a fake news hub. In March 2021, it was The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) that accused me of spreading misinformation about vaccines and COVID-19.14
Not surprisingly, TBIJ is funded by Bill Gates,15,16 a leading force within the technocratic takeover movement who doles out money to anything and anyone that will help further the globalist agenda, including media.17
In November 2019, as if blessed with some particular foresight, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave TBIJ a $1,068,169 grant from its "Global Health and Development Public Awareness and Analysis" advocacy program.18
Other TBIJ sponsors include19 the Google News Initiative,20 George Soros' Open Society Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust.21 All of these — Gates, Google, Soros, and Wellcome — are easily identified as parts of the technocratic globalist network that is reaping unprecedented financial rewards from the pandemic.
Whose Interests Does CCDH Protect and Promote?
While the financial supporters of the CCDH are far more opaque, it seems clear this group is yet another front for the technocratic power structure. It was founded by a British national and unregistered foreign agent named Imran Ahmed, who is also a member of the Steering Committee on Countering Extremism Pilot Task Force under the British government's Commission for Countering Extremism.
When you think about it, isn't it rather curious that American government officials are targeting and violating the Constitutional rights of citizens based on the opinions of an unregistered foreign agent funded by dark money?22 As noted in a July 20, 2021, Drill Down article:23
"When a report goes viral in the news cycle, it only makes sense to question where it came from — especially if that report has influence all the way up to the Oval Office, affecting public health policy, while also having dangerous implications for free speech.
"The Center for Countering Digital Hate … released a bombshell report earlier this week. It was picked up everywhere and had the following revelation: The majority of COVID misinformation came from just 12 people … But could this be a wily gambit by outside interests to justify the Biden administration's censorship partner-up with Big Tech? …
"According to its website, the left-wing Center for Countering Digital Hate prides itself on 'researching, exposing, and then shutting down users and news sites it deems unacceptable in the digital sphere.'
"Users and news sites it deems unacceptable? That seems potentially dangerous, considering we know very little about the CCDH. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) expressed his concerns on Twitter with the following post:
'"Who is funding this overseas dark money group — Big Tech? Billionaire activists? Foreign governments? We have no idea. Americans deserve to know what foreign interests are attempting to influence American democracy' …
"No one knows who funds them. No one knows who is driving their research. But their findings are being used in censorship efforts under the guise of controlling misinformation?"
Violating Bioethical Principles Puts Lives at Risk
The sad irony is that government officials are really the ones contributing to most of the unnecessary death and suffering by not adhering to bioethical principles that are enshrined in law. These laws exist for a good reason. They protect people from unnecessary harm and unwanted medical risks.
As an experimental trial participant, which is what everyone is at the moment who accepts a COVID shot, you have the right to receive full disclosure of any adverse event risks. Based on that disclosure, you then have the right to decide whether you want to participate.
Adverse event risk disclosure should be provided at the level of detail disclosed in any drug package insert. Not only do vaccinees not get any such disclosure documents, the censorship also prevents them from getting any balancing information regarding their risk-reward ratio, along with risk of death and permanent disability, from other sources, be it through Google searches, social media, or mainstream news.
When given just one side of the story, informed consent simply isn't possible, and as such, violates several different national and international laws, including the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 45 CFR 46 (subpart A, the Belmont report),24 the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights treaty,25 the Declaration of Helsinki26 and the Nuremberg Code.27 U.S. Supreme Court rulings have also clarified that Americans have the right to choose their own health care in general.28,29
As just one example of many, Marie Follmer, in an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,30 said no one ever warned her there was a risk of myocarditis. Her athletic son, Greyson, took the shot and is now unable to do much of anything, and she fears he might die.
She admits to not doing any of her own research, blindly trusting what she was told. Now, she distrusts the whole process, including doctors, as all have refused to acknowledge that there might be a link to the shot, and no one knows how to treat him.
Most importantly, the acceptance of an experimental product must be fully voluntary and uncoerced. Enticement is forbidden. It's downright impossible to argue that incentives ranging from free junk food to million-dollar lotteries and threats of losing your job, refusal of an education, travel and shopping restrictions, and more do not constitute coercion.
At the end of the day, if you decide you want to participate in a medical experiment, whatever it might be, that's up to you. But everyone else also has that same right to choose.
Sen. Warren Threatens Amazon to Ban 'The Truth About COVID-19'
Since the publication of my latest book, "The Truth About COVID-19," which became an instant bestseller on Amazon.com, there's been a significant increase in calls for censorship and ruthless attacks against me.
Most recently, so-called "progressive" U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in an outrageous, slanderous, and basically unconstitutional attempt to suppress free speech, sent a letter to Amazon demanding an "immediate review" of their algorithms to weed out books peddling "COVID misinformation."
Warren specifically singled out "The Truth About COVID-19" as a prime example of "highly ranked and favorably tagged books based on falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines and cures" that she wants to see banned from sale.
Two days later, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., followed in Warren's footsteps, sending letters to Facebook and Amazon, calling for more prolific censorship of vaccine information. Even President Joe Biden has recently used a debunked report as his sole source to call for my censorship.
Sadly, these attacks are being levied by the very people elected to safeguard democracy and our Constitutional rights. Essentially, what they are calling for is modern-day book burning. This is a democracy, not a monarchy.

MAGNIFICENT MERCOLA: Top Misinformation Article Attributed to Chicago Tribune

The Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in Bweyale, Uganda, is a UNHCR managed refugee settlement that provides shelter, land, and support for more than 100,000 people. They are comprised of refugees from Kenya, DR Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan. RMF has partnered with UNHCR in supporting Kiryandango Refugee Settlement, the surrounding community of Bweyale, and the greater Kiryandongo District (an additional 266,197 people) with health care, education, and vocational training since 2008.
This initiative broadly describes RMF's role in implementing three specific projects in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement.
These centers are directly being supported by UNHCR and RMF. RMF has hired a manager who is responsible for the overall implementation and coordination of planned interventions, whereas OPM and UNHCR do oversight functions. Activities are planned, coordinated, and reviewed on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis through coordination meetings chaired by OPM at the settlement level.
The unstable political situation in South Sudan poses a significant risk that many more refugees will cross into Uganda in search of asylum. This may lead to a further increased population of refugees that has not been budgeted for, thus causing strain on the health system and other programs in the settlement.
In order to sustain results, RMF continues to conduct needs assessments to ascertain the arising need and inform its planning.
The aforementioned programs each play an important role in RMF's overall humanitarian vision to 'focus on the person as a whole'. Through access to health care services and vocational training, the long term vision for the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement is to empower refugees to be self-sufficient once again.

The final shuttle mission will be a first for the iPhone. When Atlantis flies to the International Space Station this summer it will carry two iPhones to test an app, SpaceLab for iOS from Odyssey Space Research. The Houston company makes spacecraft guidance software. When the iPhone 4 came out, the company's programmers realized it could be used for a space-based experiment to test a vehicle's positioning and orientation with the smartphone's new internal gyroscope, camera, and other sensors.
Odyssey CEO Brian Rishikof is fairly certain that these will be the first iPhones in space.
Astronauts will use the two iPhones in four experiments. The "limb tracker" makes an altitude estimate using a picture of the curved edge of the Earth. A sensor calibration test uses the iPhone's camera and other sensors to adjust the gyroscope and accelerometers. A spatial recognition test will attempt to match pictures of the earth with a database of wireframe images of national borders. Finally, the iPhone will be used to test for the effects of radiation on computers by checking for changes to single bits in the phones' memory.
The company emphasized that all of their experiments were being conducted and paid for as private research. The iPhones will not be used for navigation or any other NASA mission.
The public version of the app sells for $1. Rishikof noted that most iPhone users do not have access to space travel, so some of the features will be simulated.

Health & Safety Code 11383 HS – Possessing Materials for Manufacturing PCP
Criminal Defense » Health & Safety Code » 11383 HS – Materials for Making PCP
Under Health & Safety Code 11383 HS, it is a crime to possess certain chemicals with the intent to use those materials to manufacture Phencyclidine (PCP). A violation of this section is a felony offense punishable by up to six years in county jail.
The language of HS 11383 states:
"Any person who possesses at the same time any of the following combinations, a combination product thereof, or possesses any compound or mixture containing the chemicals listed in the following combinations, with the intent to manufacture phencyclidine (PCP) or any of its analogs…is guilty of a felony…:
(1) Piperidine and cyclohexanone.
(2) Pyrrolidine and cyclohexanone.
(3) Morpholine and cyclohexanone."
Criminal defense lawyers draw upon several different legal strategies to challenge accusations under this statute. A few common ones include lawyers showing that:
the accused did not intend to manufacture PCP,
the defendant did not possess certain chemicals, and/or
law enforcement conducted an unlawful search and seizure.
A violation of California Health & Safety Code Section 11383 HS is a felony (as opposed to an infraction or a misdemeanor).
The crime is punishable by:
up to six years in county jail under California's realignment program, and/or
a maximum fine of $10,000.
Our California criminal defense attorneys will explain the following in this article:
1. How does California law define "possessing materials for manufacturing PCP"?
2. Are there legal defenses?
2.1. No intent
2.2. No possession
2.3. Unlawful search and seizure
3. What are the penalties?
4. Are there related offenses?
4.1. Possessing materials for manufacturing methamphetamine – HS 11383.5
4.2. Manufacturing controlled substances – HS 11379.6
4.3. Possession for sale of a controlled substance – HS 11351
Health & Safety Code 11383 HS makes it a crime to possess certain chemicals with the intent to use those materials to manufacture Phencyclidine (PCP).
A prosecutor must prove the following to successfully convict a person under this statute:
the defendant possessed certain chemicals in specified combinations that can be used to manufacture PCP (or an analog of this drug), and
when the defendant possessed those chemicals, he/she specifically intended to use them to manufacture PCP.1
The chemicals that can support a charge of possession of materials for manufacturing drugs under this code section include:
piperidine and cyclohexanone,
pyrrolidine and cyclohexanone, and
morpholine and cyclohexanone.2
For purposes of this statute, "possession" includes simple possession, or where a defendant has the above chemicals on his/her person.
Note, though, that people can possess chemicals even if they never touched them or carried them. All that is required is that a defendant had control over the materials or the right to control them, either personally or through someone else.3
Note, too, that a person does not have to successfully manufacture PCP to be guilty of this crime. Further, a defendant can be guilty of this offense just for possessing the chemicals and harboring a very vague hope of using them to manufacture drugs.
People accused of a crime under this law can challenge the accusation with a legal defense. Three common ones include defendants showing that:
they did not intend to manufacture PCP.
they did not possess certain chemicals or materials.
the police conducted an unlawful search and seizure.
Recall that people are only guilty of this law if they possessed the chemicals listed in the statute with the intent to make PCP. Therefore, it is always a defense for an accused to show that he/she did not want to make any illegal drugs.
Recall, too, that a defendant is only guilty of violating this statute if he/she possessed certain chemicals. Further, possession carries a very precise legal definition. A defense, then, is for a defendant to show that he/she did not possess any chemicals.
This is a popular defense for many drug crimes. The State of California says that law enforcement can only conduct a search or seizure with a valid search warrant. If they do not have one, then they must have a valid excuse. If no warrant or excuse, then any evidence gathered from the unlawful search or seizure can get excluded from the case.
If a defendant can show that the police conducted an illegal search or seizure, then a judge could reduce a defendant's charges or drop them altogether.
A violation of this statute can result in a fine and/or jail time.
A violation of this code section is a felony.4
up to six years in county jail (as opposed to state prison), and/or
a maximum fine of $10,000.5
These penalties can increase if the accused has prior convictions or a criminal record.
Note that judge can award a defendant with felony (or formal) probation in lieu of jail time.
There are three crimes related to possessing materials for making PCP. These are:
possessing materials for manufacturing methamphetamine – HS 11383.5,
manufacturing a controlled substance – HS 11379.6, and/or
possession for sale of controlled substances – HS 11351.
Under Health & Safety Code 11383.5 HS, possessing materials for manufacturing methamphetamine is the crime where people:
possess certain chemicals in specified combinations that can be used to manufacture meth or N-ethyl amphetamine (or an analog of these drugs), and
do so with the intent to manufacture meth or N-ethyl amphetamine.
As with violations of HS 11383, people can contest charges of violating this statute by showing that they did not:
intend to make meth or N-ethyl amphetamine, or
possess certain chemicals.

Under Health & Safety Code 11379.6 HS, manufacturing a controlled substance is the crime where people make illegal narcotics such as PCP, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine, and opiates.
Note that if a person possesses certain chemicals with the intent to make PCP, and successfully manufactures the drug, a prosecutor can charge the party with both:
possessing materials for manufacturing PCP, and
manufacturing a controlled substance.
4.3. Possession for sale of controlled substances – HS 11351
Per Health & Safety Code 11351 HS, possession for sale of controlled substances is the crime where people possess certain controlled substances in order to sell them.

Q: Как в delphi лучше сделать печать? Как в delphi лучше сделать печать? Есть шаблон в формате RTF в нём переменные (например: $name$). Нужно вместо этих переменных поставить значение из программы и вывести на печать.
A: Все зависит от того, что ты хочешь печатать: текст или картинки. Но есть и общий для текста и картинок вариант - использовать модуль "printers":
> uses printers;
> ...
> function print():boolean; begin
> printer.BeginDoc; // Подготавливаешь к печати принтер
> printer.canvas.textout(10,10,'Halo');  // работаешь с ним, как с обычным canvas
> printer.EndDoc;     //завершаешь печать

A large suite of 40 small, inter-related paintings focusing on a Filipina nurse and her immigration hallucinations. Each of the paintings is compositionally tied to another, in groupings both horizontal and vertical, somewhat like a crossword puzzle.
The paintings have been shown in multiple venues in a variety of combinations, each suggesting different narrative arcs. Static images aren't really all that static: the same story can be told multiple ways.

        equalizer.release();
        mediaPlayer.release();
        mediaPlayer = null;
    }
}
}

Is there any permissions required to use the equalizer or where I am making mistake any advice will be helpful.The app is not throwing any exception and only the song is getting played.

Tens of thousands who do not qualify apply for R350 unemployment grant
11 May 2020 - 14:52 By ZINGISA MVUMVU
Only those who are unemployed and do not already receive a government grant qualify for the Covid-19 social relief grant.
Image: POWER987 News via Twitter
The first round of applications for the Covid-19 social relief grant of R350 a month for the unemployed has seen tens of thousands who do not qualify making applications.
This has prompted the SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) to clarify the category of people who do qualify for the grant.
Sassa CEO Totsie Memela said on Monday that only people who were unemployed and not benefiting from any other government grant were eligible.
Of the 91,000 people who had applied on the WhatsApp line for the Covid-19 unemployment grant, 11,000 were found to be recipients of other social grants and were disqualified, said Memela.
Of the 250,000 who applied via e-mail, half were flagged and removed as they already received social grants.
From midday on Monday, Sassa launched a new application system to ensure that only those eligible would receive assistance and to stop chancers from defrauding the system.
Here are the criteria for the grant:
Any unemployed South African older than 18.
Must not be a recipient of other social grants, including old age, child support or disability grants.
Applicants should not be earning any sort of income.
Recipients of NSFAS funding do not qualify.
Prisoners and all other beneficiaries of state-funded welfare do not qualify.
Memela said those who qualify must be able to produce their SA identity document details in full as well as their gender and disability, if any.
The provision of physical address details, even without proof of residence, was also required.
Since the lockdown was announced, humanitarian organisation Scientology Volunteer Ministers has sanitised the equivalent of 658 football fields in Gauteng to protect South Africans from the coronavirus pandemic. The group works tirelessly to decontaminate buildings and vehicles used by the public. To date the group has decontaminated over 3 million square metres.
Active bank account details were also required to enable Sassa to deposit the money once an application was approved.
Those without an active bank account can use their mobile phone numbers for cardless withdrawals at bank ATMs.
"As we all know, all the banks have different solutions such as Cashsend and e-Wallet that can be used to send money," said Memela.
"We are contracted with all the major banks, in instances where you live closer to a facility with an Absa ATM, you can say send my money through Cashsend and if you are close to FNB you can choose e-Wallet and go retrieve it from the ATM."
Three application platforms have been put in place: one via e-mail, the second through WhatsApp and third by SMS.
The details are available on the department of social development's website.

Religion and HIV and AIDS, Charting the Terrain, published by UKZN press, was launched on the 5th of October 2011. This book explores the interface between HIV, AIDS and religion and makes a significant contribution to a growing body of scholarship that recognizes the importance of religious engagement with the reality of HIV and AIDS. In many communities, the spiritual narrative is far more compelling that its bio-medical equivalent, making interdisciplinary collaboration crucial. The project that gave birth to this book brought together scholars from the fields of religion and theology and activists from local communities.
Its content captures the collaborative character of the book and each chapter is accompanied by a practitioner response. Existing scholarly literature was analysed and interrogated in the context of local community knowledge. The task was to understand what work has been done; and to discern what remains to be done. The book has a strong African focus with local forms of Christianity and Islam featuring prominently. For copies contact UZKN press(www.ukznpress.co.za or +27 (0) 33 260 5255) or www.kalahari.co.za / www.loot.co.za .
"The Cartography of HIV and AIDS, Religion and Theology"
CHART has coordinated this international research project from 2008 – 2011. The primary purpose of this project being to survey and analyse what has already been done in the interface between religion and theology, HIV and AIDS. We realise that it is irresponsible to pursue research in this interface without assessing what has already been accomplished in different contexts and across an array of disciplines. We will only understand what future research needs to be done when we have a realistic picture of existing research. In order to do this mapping and analytical work, three major research areas were identified: Religious and Theological Disciplines; Health categories; and Social categories. Fifteen researchers working in academic institutions and fifteen key activist-intellectuals working in an NGO or faith-based organisation was identified to facilitate the work of this project. The key researcher was expected to survey as widely as possible the published literature in a particular area, drawing on the expertise of other international researchers.
CHART then hosted an international research workshop for 34 academics and activists as part of the research project 'The Cartography of HIV and AIDS, Religion and Theology". The workshop was held in Durban, South Africa from 12th -17th October 2008. Representatives from 14 different countries spanning four continents were present. Lively debate around the mapping of work already accomplished in the field of religion and HIV and AIDS took place as did the establishment of a network of academics and activists that have chosen to continue to work together on the project. Out of this project a book titled, "Religion and HIV and AIDS: Charting the terrain" is to be published by UKZN Press and will be launched late 2011.

The question which has been bugging the mankind for centuries. Are aliens real? Do UFO Exist? Is extraterrestrial life there? Proofs are coming up day by day.
In a valley eight miles southeast of the Norwegian city of Tromsø, a radar receiving wire has recently transmitted a short piece of radio programming to potential outsider audience members: some exceptionally formed electronic music and an instructional exercise about geometry and the utilization of parallel numbers.
This isn't the standard way to deal with the look for extraterrestrial insight (SETI). Customarily, researchers occupied with SETI utilize such reception apparatuses with the expectation of hearing a flag that would have been communicated tens, hundreds, or even a large number of years prior. Up until now, no dice.
However, at any rate, SETI offers the possibility of here and now an achievement. It resembles a space machine that has been resolutely ungenerous in spite of having been nourished a huge amount of quarters. There's dependably a shot the following coin will trigger a bonanza. SETI could prevail before tomorrow.
That is not valid with the Tromsø transmission. It's a case of dynamic SETI, or what a few researchers call METI (for informing to extraterrestrial insight). The thought is straightforward: Send a flag that would ready outsiders we're here, and tune in for an answer.
That is on account of METI is disputable. In the first place, what do you say to somebody you've never met, and who's an individual from an alternate animal group? This has been batted about at more than a couple of gatherings, and a great part of the discussion fixates on whether we should demonstrate our awful side. Do we tell outsiders that we take part in the war, undermine our condition, and chow down on different critters? By and by, I don't get excessively practised about these exchanges. Such concerns — while of awesome significance to us — are probably going to be insignificant interests to the outsiders.
In any case, the part of METI that truly excites individuals (counting some in the SETI people group and even praised physicist Stephen Hawking) is the likelihood that sending signals skyward may open us to an existential risk. Assume Luytenians do exist, and they're disagreeable. On the off chance that we tip our hand with a communicate — regardless of what it's substance — they may react with an armada of interstellar rockets to take us out. Bummer.
In all honesty, it's difficult to think about any sound motivation behind why outsiders would do this. Be that as it may, why take the risk? My answer is twofold. In any case, we've been communicating in space with powerful transmitters (radar and TV) for more than 50 years now. Without a doubt, those signs aren't anything but difficult to identify out there in space — in any event for somebody with our level of innovation. In any case, for a general public a century or two in front of us, it would be trifling. What's more, if the outsiders are not at any rate that best in class, they just won't have those interstellar rockets.
WHAT IS THIS ODDBALL ASTEROID? – KNOW HERE!
So point one, and it's a doozy. Our hand has just been tipped.
Yet, there's something different, regularly lost in the exchange. Constraining solid transmissions skyward will straitjacket our relatives, not simply in their endeavors to do dynamic SETI however for some different undertakings that may require transmitted radio signs. In the event that we need to outline external locales of our close planetary system (to find errant comets), we'll have to utilize radars that are substantially more capable than the ones we have today. In the event that we imagine having interstellar tests, flagging will be expected to stay in contact.
Let's be honest, it's difficult to comprehend what our extraordinary incredible grandchildren will discover intriguing or beneficial to do. Be that as it may, instructing them to never, ever point a transmitter skyward is likened to instructing them to never colonize Mars on the grounds that, all things considered, there might be some indigenous microorganisms under the dirt and it's their planet.
I trust the Aliens Luytenians connect. But what after the aliens connect and come on the earth ? that is rather a horific question nobody wants to answer and that is why aliens are awaited eagerly.

El cuarto de Jacob (título original en inglés, Jacob's Room) es la tercera novela de Virginia Woolf, publicada el 26 de octubre de 1922.

La novela se estructura, de manera muy ambigua, alrededor de la vida del protagonista, Jacob Flanders, que está presentado enteramente por las impresiones que otros personajes tienen de él, salvo en aquellas ocasiones en que se entra en su perspectiva. Así, aunque puede decirse que el libro es ante todo un estudio de carácter y tiene poca trama o ambientación, la narrativa se construye como un vacío en lugar del personaje central, si puede decirse que la novela tiene un protagonista en el sentido tradicional del término. Los temas del vacío y la ausencia rondan la novela y establecen su sentimiento elegíaco. Se describe a Jacob, pero de una manera tan indirecta que parecería mejor verlo como una amalgama de las diferentes percepciones de los personajes y del narrador. No existe como una realidad concreta, sino más bien como una recopilación de memorias y sensaciones.

Trama
Ambientada en la Inglaterra anterior a la guerra, la novela comienza en la infancia de Jacob y lo sigue a través de la universidad de Cambridge y luego en la adultez. La historia se narra principalmente a través de la perspectiva de las mujeres de la vida de Jacob, incluida la reprimida de clase media alta Clara Durrant y la desinhibida estudiante de arte Florinda, con quien tiene una aventura. Su época en Londres forma una gran parte de la historia, aunque hacia el final de la novela él viaja a Italia, luego a Grecia. Jacob al final muere en la guerra y en lugar de una descripción de la escena de la muerte, Woolf describe la habitación vacía que él deja detrás.

Significado literario
La novela se aparta de las dos primeras novelas de Woolf, Fin de viaje (1915) y Noche y día (1919), que tienen formas más convencionales, y se ve como un importante texto modernista. Su forma experimental se ha interpretado como una progresión en el novedoso estilo de escritura que Woolf presentó en su volumen de relatos Monday or Tuesday (1921).

Why do I receive "permission errors" as a Zuora Ad...
Why do I receive "permission errors" as a Zuora Administrator?
Support SME
Why do I receive "permission errors"? As an Administrator user, I expect full access to every feature. For example, we'd like to use the Override Transferred to Accounting feature, and even though we have Administrator access to Zuora, we still receive the error "You do not have permission to update transaction from Yes to other reconciliation status. Please contact your company administrator for permission."
access right
Re: Why do I receive "permission errors" as a Zuora Administrator?
Administrator users do not necessarily have access to all Zuora features, since some of these are controlled by individual Role Lists. However they do have the ability to add new User Roles, and edit these. Out-of-the-box roles can't be edited!
If an Administrator receives the error message shown above, it means they don't have full Z-Billing Role access. See example, where I am a Platform Administrator, but also a Billing Standard User:
Let's take a look at this Z-Billing Standard User role via Settings > Administration Settings > Manage User Roles.
First, change the Role List dropdown to Z-Billing:
As we can see, the Standard User does not have every permission enabled:
As I have mentioned it before, out-of-the-box roles can't be edited, so we'll need to create a new role that has all the desired permissions:
And finally, we also need to update the user's Z-Billing Role:
Now we're free to execute the desired changes.


10 Ways To Clean Your Dog's Teeth Without Making Them Hate You!
Since doggy dentures aren't a thing, keeping your pup's teeth clean and gums healthy is crucial for their overall health and well-being. Obviously, the best way to clean your dog's teeth is to have the vet scrape them while your dog is under anesthesia. This can be very expensive and there are risks associated with anesthesia. It's best to do everything you can to clean your dog's teeth yourself.
Brushing every day with a dog-safe toothpaste is the best way to clean your dog's teeth, but some dogs hate it and will run from the sight of a toothbrush. Luckily, there are other options that your dog might actually enjoy. Here are 10 ways to clean your dog's teeth that they won't hate.
If your dog will hold still long enough for you to pick up their lips on either side of their mouth, a natural canine dental spray may be a good option. Many dental sprays will help reduce and prevent dental plaque and tartar build-up as well as control the bacteria that causes bad breath, as long as you can manage to spray the product directly onto your dog's most-affected teeth. As a bonus, sprays often give your dog minty-fresh breath.
Dog food companies would like to convince you that dry kibble is better for your dog's teeth than wet food. Relying on kibble to clean your dog's teeth would be as effective as expecting crackers to keep your teeth clean. Fresher diets with healthier ingredients tend to help improve your dog's overall health and well-being, and that includes their dental health.
There are lots of toys on the market designed to encourage your dog to chew. Dental chew toys with lots of variety in texture can help scrape the plaque off your dog's teeth as they relax and enjoy their primal instinct to chew. Your dog should always be supervised when playing with chew toys to make sure they don't swallow any large pieces.
While cooked bones can splinter and cause all sorts of problems for your dog, raw bones are a fantastic way to help clean your dog's teeth while satisfying their urge to chew. Keep in mind that you'll want to choose size-appropriate bones. A chicken wing could choke a Great Dane and a cow femur would be a tall order for a Yorkie.
Remember, never give your dog cooked bones! They can easily splinter and cause intestinal damage.
Coconut oil has been referred to as "nature's toothpaste". The antimicrobial properties of this popular oil not only promote dental health, but dogs go absolutely bonkers for the flavor.
Here's our favorite tip in regards to coconut oil: grab a healthy dog friendly vegetable like a carrot, poke holes in it with a knife, and drip liquid coconut oil into the holes. Then throw the carrot stick in the freezer for a few minutes and then serve to your pup. Make no mistake, this is going to make a colossal mess, but your dog is going to have a great time gnawing on the carrot, while the carrot will clean your dog's teeth in a safe and effective way!
If your dog will tolerate you putting your fingers in their mouth but runs at the sight of a toothbrush, then tooth wipes may be an ideal option. They allow you to clean your dog's teeth by removing plaque, tartar, and bad breath bacteria. All by simply running a small cloth wipe along the edges of their teeth and gums.
Sometimes you want to give them something that lasts longer than a dental treat but is tastier than a toy and less messy than a raw bone. Bully sticks might just be the all time favorite chew for most dogs! These tough chews can keep your dog occupied, satisfy their chewing instinct, and help clean your dog's teeth by scraping off plaque and tartar. What could be better? Just be sure to supervise your dog – some dogs may swallow large pieces. Also, don't give too many of them, as they are a higher calorie treat.
There are many great water additives on the market today. They make dental care as simple as dropping a bit of liquid into your dog's water bowl. Some dogs dislike the taste or smell. If water additives work for your dog, it's one of the easiest methods to promote dental hygiene.
Antlers are also a favorite of many dogs. By chewing on them, they gradually chip away at the antler and massage their gums and teeth, removing plaque deposits. One antler could potentially last your dog many days or even weeks.
Make sure to choose a product that is a naturally shed antler. Avoid velvet antler products which are cut from live animals.
You love to treat your dog anyway. Doesn't it make sense to choose a treat that will help clean your dog's teeth? You're already buying dental treats for your beloved pup. Why not choose one your dog will love that ALSO provides healthy meals for shelter dogs?
The iHeartDogs™ unique and advanced Triple Enzyme Dental Stick formula for dogs is specifically designed to control plaque, reduce tartar buildup, freshen breath, and help maintain healthy teeth and gums. They're developed by veterinarians and proudly manufactured in the USA. These tasty Dental Sticks combine a natural abrasive cleansing action with a proprietary triple enzyme source, peppermint, and the flavonoid curcumin to help support dental health.
The treats are grain-free, gluten-free, low-calorie, and low-fat, and each purchase provides 7 meals for shelter dogs! To learn more, click here.

Education / Saving Money
COVID-19's Economic Impact on Education
By Jordan Rosenfeld
Halfpoint / Getty Images/iStockphoto
The pandemic uprooted life as we know it, especially when it comes to education. Public health mandates began to shut down primary schools in the U.S. as early as March 2020. Colleges soon began to follow suit. This threw families into a scramble as they figured out how to school young children at home, and it had college students questioning whether it was worth the cost of higher education if they were doing it from their bedrooms. A year-plus since the pandemic began, the U.S. is seeing the true costs to education, both financially and on the lives of students now and into the future. Here are some of the biggest costs.
COVID's Financial Impact After 1 Year: See All Our Coverage
Schools and Colleges Are Losing Money
With the inability to school on campus for much of the pandemic, many universities are seeing reduced enrollment and loss of income related to tuition, plus room and board fees in dorms. According to PBS, freshman attendance at colleges and universities dropped by an "unprecedented" 13.1% during the pandemic, with more than 560,000 undergraduates choosing not to return to school in the fall of 2020, translating to a loss of $120 billion and counting.

According to Forbes, several university systems have lost millions. One such system is the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, which includes 14 universities and is projecting a $100 million loss. Additionally, the University of Wisconsin at Madison estimates a $100 million loss due to COVID-19.
These losses have also meant more staff layoffs and cutting of athletic team programs.
See: Colleges That Have Cut Athletics Due to Budget Constraints
College Tuition Hikes Are Inevitable
Huge losses like these will have to be recouped somehow. The most immediate way for colleges to do this is through tuition hikes, though many states and college/university systems have imposed temporary moratoriums or commitments not to do so for now (unlike Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Brown, which all raised tuition on undergrads during the pandemic). College tuitions were already steadily climbing for decades, according to a study by BrokeScholar, which found that the average cost of tuition and fees — adjusted for inflation — at both private and public schools has more than tripled from the academic year 1971-72 to 2019-2020.

In the interim, colleges and universities will have to engage in serious cost-cutting measures, such as staff layoffs, benefits reductions, hiring freezes, pauses in building projects and more, all of which could have negative impacts on student's educations.
Education Losses Impact the Economy and Individuals' Earning Power
These education losses translate into more than just financial losses for the universities. According to a study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), academic losses related to the pandemic may cost the U.S. economy somewhere between $14 trillion and $28 trillion or more over time. And this will impact the earning power of individuals. The researchers suggest that K-12 students will experience a 3% lower income over their lifetimes directly related to education losses, with disadvantaged students being hit the hardest. This translates to a 1.5% lower gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.S. and adds up to an economic loss of $14.2 trillion.

Education Losses Trickle Down to Families in Other Ways
School closures have other nonfinancial costs on families and students. Numerous children in the U.S. rely upon school lunch programs to get free or subsidized breakfasts and lunches. With school closures, though many attempted to continue food-to-go programs, a survey of mothers with young children by the Brookings Institution found that 17.4% of mothers with children ages 12 and under reported that they could not afford enough food to eat. Other families with means also saw their food budgets increase by as much as 17% as a result of having children at home, even with online ordering, according to a press release by PR Newswire.

Both primary and secondary schools provide other important services ranging from mental health support to socialization, and those losses are harder to calculate.
Ultimately, it may take the U.S. decades to recover from the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic on education.

Imagine being a child, lost in the woods, without your mother. You haven't yet developed the skills needed to survive and there's a chance that if you're caught, you could be killed.
That's the story of a four-month old cougar named Beau.
Last month, Beau was discovered wandering in a Cle Elum, Washington, neighborhood. In Washington, cougars are considered nuisances and when discovered, officials are supposed to either re-house them or euthanize them. Since Beau was found at such a young age and orphaned without the guidance of his mother, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife had few options outside of euthanization. Officer Rich Beausoleil of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife took pity on the cougar cub and put out a call for an organization to adopt him.
Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsboro answered that call.
Carolina Tiger Rescue, which is celebrating its 45th year, is the only accredited big cat sanctuary in North Carolina. CTR has rescued 22 animals in the past three years, but Beau is the first baby animal it has nurtured in over a decade. His name is an homage to the officer who decided to save his life. According to Carolina Tiger Rescue's Communication Coordinator Michelle Meyers, The Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota also played an integral role in transporting Beau. Beau traveled from Washington to Minnesota where he was picked up by staff from The Wildcat Sanctuary that drove him to Indianapolis. There they met a transport vehicle from CTR for the long journey to his new home.
Every rescue has its own story. Some of the animals at the Carolina Tiger Rescue were adopted from roadside attractions, ill-equipped owners or junkyard zoos. These "zoos" are often just a series of cages on the side of the road. Some animals rescued are those that either escaped their enclosures or were released once an owner decided their care became to cumbersome. One tiger, Rajah, was found on the side of the road in Charlotte with his sister.
Each rescue has its own needs in terms of its enclosure. Some animals are more socialized than others while some are very isolated. The more socialized animals are located closer to the Carolina Tiger Rescue's tour route while others' enclosures are placed further in the back to prevent them from undergoing the stress of the public. Meyers notes that about 30 of the animals that live at the sanctuary are not socialized.
For example, Meyers noted that one of the tigers has an issue with men in red hats, likely due to stress from his previous life. Rather than outlaw men in red hats, the organization placed his enclosure away from the route. This is just one of the ways the Carolina Tiger Rescue puts the animals first. While zoos build enclosures to allow for the best viewing by the public, Carolina Tiger Rescue creates enclosures that best serve the animal.
Some of the animals are in their own enclosure while others are part of a pack. This depends on whether the animal was rescued with others or not. As many big cats come to the Carolina Tiger Rescue declawed or defanged, keeping them isolated from other big cats is a matter of protecting their lives as well.
Many of the animals that come to the Carolina Tiger Rescue are very sick and may not make it six months. For those who do survive, the sanctuary offers a forever home for the animal until its passing. As is standard operating procedures for the Carolina Tiger Rescue, Beau will be quarantined for 30 days.
He was provided medical care and looks very healthy, according to Meyers.
Carolina Tiger Rescue already has two cougars at the facility. Cougars are not social creatures typically and each have their own enclosure. Meyers called cougars "hiders," noting cougars they generally don't like people.
Meyers estimates that the cost of Beau's rescue, quarantine and new habitat will be about $20,000. The care for Beau and the other animals are extraordinary. The sanctuary's annual food budget alone is $80,000 and that is in consideration of a great deal of food donations from farmers and hunters. As many of the animals are suffering the effects of human exploitation and the pet trade, Carolina Tiger Rescue's medical bills are astronomical, according to Meyers.
The Carolina Tiger Rescue will host its annual fundraiser, the Black Tie and Tails Ball, Saturday at Durham's Washington Duke Inn. Organizers describe the event as a "journey through ancient cities, diverse cultures, and epic landscapes… on a virtual tour of the many Mysteries of Morocco." There will be fine food and drink, silent and live auction items, and dancing.

A woman from Pennsylvania survived a vicious bear attack on Wednesday with the help pet chihuahua named Bear.
Investigators say Melinda Lebarron was outside her home with her dog when the bear grabbed her leg and dragged her more than 80 yards from the back porch of her home in Lycoming County.
She was able to get back into the house and was able to contact a neighbor who called 911.
Friends said Lebarron suffered broken bones and deep wounds as a result of the bear attack Wednesday night outside Muncy.
She survived but is listed in critical condition at Geisinger Medical Center.
Bear, who is a female dog, is currently being treated at the Susquehanna Trail Animal Hospital for a broken sternum, punctured lung and a number of external wounds, according to Lebarron's daughter-in-law Cheyenne.
Cheyenne Lebarron said Melinda told her from her sick bed that her pet dog is the reason she survived the horrific attack.
She told The Daily Item: 'We don't know why it happened. No one was home and she isn't able to speak at the moment.
'We are able to ask questions and she can respond by motions. We asked if the dog went after the bear to protect her and if that is the reason she is still with us, and she nodded. That dog is the reason she's alive'.
It is not known how the dog managed to fight off the bear but Cheyenne claimed Melinda will be able to provide more information when her condition improves.
She said of the dog: 'Bear is doing remarkable considering the situation. She lost a lot of blood and has been under some pretty strong pain killers since but the vet today said she is alert,sitting up on her own and doing great'.
Game Warden Chris Krebs believes a black bear dragged Lebarron approximately 88 yards from her home.
'She was able to get away and call for help and the Game Commission is currently investigating why the bear attacked.
'We're looking into the circumstances of how that occurred, why that occurred, and trying to identify the particular bear that may have been involved.
'Pennsylvania's rifle deer season just ended and there were deer parts in close proximity,' Krebs said.
'Black bears are very common in the area and there are a lot of black bears in the area'.
Game wardens claim that black bears don't often attack people unless there is some kind of motivation for an attack. Usually, they are more of a nuisance.
The family has started a GoFundMe account for Melinda and a separate page was set up to help offset medical treatment for Bear.
Game wardens said the best way to prevent bears from coming around is to take away food sources from outside your house.
'Take efforts to secure things like household garbage. You want to avoid bird feeding if you have bears in the area,' Krebs added.
Many people on GoFundMe praised the dog for trying to protects its owner.
Alison C Milne wrote: 'Bear deserves the best care for being so brave or stupid. I can't decide which.
Robin Richard added : 'This brave little dog deserves the best of care, she & her mama are in our prayers until healthy &reunited'.
It is thought that the attack was as horrific as the attack which occurred in the 2015 film called The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
In the movie DiCaprio's character Hugh Glass is mauled and left to die from his injuries in a forest.
