Shame on you, Najib
shuwenteo (shuwenteo) May 15, 2011, 7:41pm #1
Instead of becoming the prime minister for all Malaysians, Najib chose to safeguard his own position first at the expense of the minorities.
In AD 64, 10 of the 14 districts of Rome went up in flames in a fire that raged for five and a half days.
Contrary to popular belief, Nero did not light the Great Fire of Rome. This was a rumour at the time and in order to deflect blame, Nero blamed the Christians. Thus, began the persecution of the Christians under Neros reign. During this period, Christians were tortured, fed to the animals and burnt at the stakes (illuminating Neros palaces during his parties to which we get the term human candle).
After the Great Fire of Rome, Nero organised relief efforts for all those affected. He opened his palaces to shelter the victims of the fire and provided food for the starving citizens. Nero played the saviour of Rome, winning over the hearts of the Romans with his charitable works. And when it came time to find fault, Nero placed the blame on the Christians without providing any proof whatsoever on their alleged involvement.
Now fast-forward to May 2011, and Christians were again falsely blamed for a fire started by a rumour. Only this time, the accuser and the ruler are in cahoots. While the nation simmers as religious and racial tensions rise created largely by Utusan Malaysia and Umno Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak steps in in an attempt at playing the good cop.
Shame on Najib, for like Nero, all your deeds are just for personal gains. All your deeds are to secure your position as head of this corrupt government. Shame on you that you would burn, at the stake, innocents just so that you may gain more support from the Malay grassroots.
There is internal bickering within Umno itself as to who will helm the party after Najib. And seemingly anxious to show his strength, Najib is working over-time to garner the support of the Malays as the nation heads towards the 13th general election.
Huge mis-step
This fear of losing the reins of government is further compounded by gains the opposition front made in the recent Sarawak state election. People are waking up and making a stand.
A huge mis-step was made by Umno and its various mouthpieces stepped out to attack the Chinese for their support towards the DAP, especially after the Sarawak state election. The poor mindset of the Barisan Nasional (BN) at that time was that all Chinese support had been thrown behind the DAP and therefore the Chinese had to be punished.
Thus, various accusations were levelled at the Chinese, prompting even the Chinese component parties within BN to state their stand. In all this bickering, did Najib step forward to stamp his authority as the prime minister of Malaysia? No, instead he allowed it to fester. And when the Chinese have been painted as enemies of the BN and the government, the same charge was hurled at the Christians.
It comes as no surprise that the DAP and the Christian community were jointly charged when Utusan Malaysia lied about a plot to Christianise Malaysia. And did Najib step forward to defend the minority group being targeted by this deluge of lies and unfounded accusations? No. Instead, he opted to keep quiet and being the opportunist, he would play the role of good cop.
Lets not be hood-winked by the play being scripted here. Najib played it out as if the Christians were the one causing all the ruckus. Why then did Najib not meet DAP, too, since it was also labelled by Utusan Malaysia for being in cahoots with the Christians?
No, Najib was not out to calm matters. Instead, the matter has been turned on its head and the Christian leaders were made out as apologetic leaders apologising to the prime minister for even thinking about the matter. Did Najib in any way tell the leaders that they were not to blame but that it was Utusans fault for reporting lies? No.
Reckless minions
Najib assured the Muslim leaders that Islam will remain the religion of the federation, and the Christian leaders assured the Muslims that Islams place will be respected.
Umno, Najib and Utusan Malaysia washed off their hands for an obvious misdeed. And for formalitys sake, Utusan Malaysia was only issued a warning letter and bloggers like Big Dog were allowed to continue yelping in their kernel.
Shame on you, Najib. You are the prime minister for all Malaysians and especially responsible for the minority voices in the country. Yet, you safeguard your own position first at the expense of the minorities.
You allow the nation to burn under the weight of mismanagement and turn on the minority communities, branding them as the culprits for your inability to control your reckless minions.
The problem in Malaysia is not so much racial or religious tension but rather it is a leader who is so out of touch with the principles of governing people of diverse backgrounds.

What can we say? 1Malaysia only suits 1 Race? Is that it? Hopefully, he knows how others feel…
as a friend of mine said… 1malaysia = Wan le Malaysia (translate to mandarin, meaning "habis lo malaysia")
i wonder whether this useless pm will stay a PM next year or not…
if not, I hope the next one is more competent…


John Rosenthal reacts to the favorable outcome of a proposal for accountability by minority shareholders.
Boston, MA – Today, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility won a resolution at the shareholder meeting of American Outdoor, Inc. (formally Smith and Wesson). The resolution requires American Outdoor Brands to create a report on the risks of their product and whether the company is adequately addressing the risk.
"This is a seismic shift amongst investors, including some of the largest in the world, BlackRock and Vanguard, flexing their muscle and holding the uniquely unregulated gun companies and their executives accountable in the absence ofsensible federal gun regulation" said John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence.
"This is especially significant for American Outdoor Brands who marches in lock step with the NRA but who operates in Massachusetts, the state with the most effective gun laws, the lowest gun deaths and the first in the nation consumer safety manufacturing and marketing standards that regulate guns sold in the State. However, American Outdoor Brands and other Massachusetts gun companies make and distribute more guns than any state in the Nation. Ironically, American Outdoor Brands is also prohibited from selling most of the guns they now make in their home state because they violate the Massachusetts assault weapons ban and consumer protection standards.


Since MRA was established in 1997, our Jerusalem based studio has designed a wide array of projects ranging from intimate residential interiors to large-scale public facilities.
Driven by the belief that fine architecture and design have a positive impact on our lives, we strive to carefully integrate the functional requirements of our clients without compromising our high standard of design.
While we are comfortable designing within the timeless vocabularies of traditional architecture, we are deeply interested in the creation of bright and airy contemporary architecture that blurs the boundary between interior and exterior spaces.
We feel privileged to have our studio in Jerusalem, which offers us the opportunity to reflect on the city's ancient and multi layered past whilst creating rich spaces and experiences for modern living. We embrace the opportunity to work within challenging urban contexts, and are intrigued with the challenge of integrating complex historic buildings into contemporary structures. This often requires working closely with craftsmen to test and refine details that bridge centuries of architecture.
We thoroughly enjoy the organic process of architecture, regardless of scale and are involved intimately with each of our projects, resolving conflicts and finding new opportunities from conception to completion.
Matti Rosenshine received his B.Arch with distinction from the University of Illinois in Chicago. Subsequent to a year in Paris he taught architecture in Rome for the University of Notre Dame.
From 1985-2005 Matti collaborated with Thomas G. Smith of producing a new, illustrated and annotated edition of Vitruvious's Ten Books on Architecture.
In 1997, Matti established MRA in Jerusalem.
Following 25 years of practicing architecture, while understanding its role within the greater urban context, Matti obtained an M.A. in Urban Design from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem.
Aryeh Wiseglass (B-Arch Glasgow School of Art). With a wisdom beyond his years, Aryeh is the engine that keeps the office producing excellent architecture. He's our big-picture guy, conceptual visionary. Our longest serving employee, he's also the man you want if you're in the office and you want a proper cup of tea.
Ateret Ohayon is one of the most recent additions to our team. She grew up in France and started designing at the age of 14! She has quickly become integral to our office. A quick learner and a great colleague.
Following a successful career in hi-tech, Avigail changed paths and graduated from Bezalel Architecture School in 2015. She has successfully taken on significant projects as well as efficiently running a lot of the office bureaucracy. She also maintains a roll as a tutor at Bezalel.
Odelya Nidam joined us in 2013 and is the kind of designer that you want in your office. A Revit powerhouse, she's hard-working, talented and dedicated. It's also been said that she brings some much needed class to the office, but we're not sure what that means.
Sandra Riaboy studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires. She has taken charge of some of the most demanding projects and produced some unbelievable results. She also definitely has the best taste in office music.
Sivan Puritz is the first ever second-generation MRA employee! New to the office, she's learning quickly and has huge potential.
Stuart Bensusan probably couldn't design his way out of a paper bag. Which is totally fine, because he's head of finance. Living proof that you don't have to be boring to work in Excel.
David Preston (BA arch Manchester University) is one of MRA's longest serving members of staff. Having worked in London and in Sydney before moving to Israel, he brings vast experience to the office but more importantly, has taken on the responsibility of arranging the office workshop lunches.
Maria Kondratiev is head of the Tel-Aviv/ Mercaz department. With an eye for detail and a great design sensibility, many of the projects that Maria has overseen have been featured in numerous international publications.
Noa Joelson, a veteran Jerusalemite.Since she came to the office in 2015, we've benefited immensely from her talents. She has achieved great results from some of the most complex projects, but most importantly (for us), she knows the building code!
Toby Monk, speaks all the languages and is head of our European desk. She came to the office in 2016 and settled in immediately, producing some of our finest work. We're just offended that she wasn't working here earlier.
Mey-Tal Cohen is our office manager. She is the salt on our food, the grease in our wheels, the door, the key, the sail, the wind.

Q: Pandas Multiply Specific Columns by Value In Row I am attempting to multiple specific columns a value in their respective row.
For example:
          X         Y         Z
A 10      1         0         1
B 50      0         0         0
C 80      1         1         1

Would become:
              X         Y         Z
A 10        10         0         10
B 50        0          0         0
C 80        80         80        80

The problem I am having is that it is timing out when I use mul(). My real dataset is very large. I tried to iterate it with loop in my real code as follows:
for i in range(1,df_final_small.shape[0]):
    df_final_small.iloc[i].values[3:248] = df_final_small.iloc[i].values[3:248] * df_final_small.iloc[i].values[2]

Which when applied to the example dataframe would look like this:
for i in range(1,df_final_small.shape[0]):
    df_final_small.iloc[i].values[1:4] = df_final_small.iloc[i].values[1:4] * df_final_small.iloc[i].values[0]

There must be a better way to do this, I am having problems figuring out how to only cast the multiplication to certain columns in the row rather than the entire row.
EDIT:
To detail further here is my df.head(5).
id  gross   150413 Welcome Email    150413 Welcome Email Repeat Cust    151001 Welcome Email    151001 Welcome Email Repeat Cust    161116 eKomi    1702 Hot Leads Email    1702 Welcome Email - All Purchases  1804 Hot Leads  ...

A: Using mul with axis = 0 also get the index value by get_level_values
df.mul(df.index.get_level_values(1),axis=0)
Out[167]:
       X   Y   Z
A 10  10   0  10
B 50   0   0   0
C 80  80  80  80

Also when the dataframe is way to big , you can split it and do it by chunk .
dfs = np.split(df, [2], axis=0)
pd.concat([x.mul(x.index.get_level_values(1), axis=0) for x in dfs])
Out[174]:
       X   Y   Z
A 10  10   0  10
B 50   0   0   0
C 80  80  80  80

Also I will recommend numpy broadcast
df.values*df.index.get_level_values(1)[:,None]
Out[177]: Int64Index([[10, 0, 10], [0, 0, 0], [80, 80, 80]], dtype='int64')
pd.DataFrame(df.values*df.index.get_level_values(1)[:,None],index=df.index,columns=df.columns)
Out[181]:
       X   Y   Z
A 10  10   0  10
B 50   0   0   0
C 80  80  80  80

A: Just specify the columns you want to multiply. Example
df=pd.DataFrame({'A':10,'X':1,'Y':1,'Z':1},index=[1])
df.loc[:,['X', 'Y', 'Z']]=df.loc[:,['X', 'Y', 'Z']].values*df.iloc[:,0:1].values

If want to provide an arbitrary range of columns use iloc
range_of_columns= range(10,5001)+range(5030,10001)
df.iloc[:,range_of_columns].values*df.iloc[:,0:1].values #multiplying the range of columns with the first column

After 28 years of service… Shipping company sails confidently in highly competitive market
Jan 22, 2017 News 0
By Kiana Wilburg
In an economy that remains quite susceptible to external shocks, one company
DHL / Guywillship
— DHL/Guywillship — continues to demonstrate nothing but maximum confidence in the viability of Guyana's business environment.
This corporation, which represents the marriage between two shipping giants, has been serving the Guyanese populace and its supporters abroad for almost 29 years.
The entity's ability to withstand the trials of the passing times can be attributed to several factors, not least of them, the ingenuity and the dauntless spirit of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mrs. Ingrid Bristol.
The DHL/Guywillship establishment which is housed under one roof in Fifth Street, Alberttown recently underwent massive renovations costing over $150M. But to appreciate the magnitude of this investment, one must look to its beginning.
THE FORERUNNER
In 1988, DHL Worldwide Express, which operated an international air express network, identified the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) for expansion. Soon enough, the DHL Express franchise, owned by Bristol, became the first courier service to enter the Guyana market. Additionally, Guyana was the first of the three Guianas to be operational in the expansion programme.
In the first two months of operation, only inbound service was provided, while legal and administrative arrangements were being addressed. It can be said that the 1990s was a period that shaped the company radically.
CEO of Guywillship and DHL Guyana, Mrs. Ingrid Bristol
In 1990, DHL Guyana acquired its first motorized transportation, a van, for ground transportation. The response at the time to the company was overwhelming and the company responded in turn by investing in more motorized transportation and employing more personnel.
But trouble soon same. DHL's presence and right to operate was challenged in 1991, after a question was raised in the press regarding the handling of mail and parcels within the borders of Guyana by a body other than the Guyana Postal Services. But after representation by the Commercial Office of the Embassy of the USA, the then President Hugh Desmond Hoyte signed an instrument to legalize DHL's local operations.
In 1992, DHL purchased a property situated at 50E Fifth Street Alberttown to establish an office to facilitate its servicing of a growing clientele in Guyana. In 1993, the network responded to its rapid growth by flying DHL aircraft into Guyana with a daily operational schedule of Monday to Friday.
In 1994, the company expanded its service borders through the establishment of offices in New Amsterdam, Corriverton, Berbice and Linden. By the close of the decade, DHL Express had expanded from being a single rented room space with four employees to having nationwide offices employing over 40 citizens.
By 2000, the company saw some changes in the market place. The rise of the internet,
Head of Operations at Guywillship Int'l, Gavin Welcome (left) and DHL Director, Maurice John Jr.,
the presence of competition in Guyana and the changing priorities and needs of customers meant that businesses had to retool and respond accordingly.
DHL did so by leaps and bounds. In fact, the company began updating its equipment and services as part of its modernization programme. Even though the resilience of the entity was tested, it pulled through as an unstoppable champion in the market place.
GUYWILLSHIP
With DHL under its belt, the franchise holder decided to establish 'Guywillship' which was officially established in 2000 at 49 Brickdam, Georgetown. This company catered for fast and affordable shipping to the Caribbean as well as to the rest of the world. It also provided custom brokerage services and agency services for its foreign associates.
By 2008, the company launched its international office in New York, USA. In 2009, it was rebranded Guywillship International. Three years later, it was servicing several Caribbean destinations out of New York. With its marked successes under the sterling guidance of its CEO, Guywillship can now boast that it is a household name in its native land.
It was on January 14, that DHL /Guywillship had its official opening and dedication ceremony for its spanking new building.
At the auspicious event, Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin expressed how happy he was to see local companies investing, expanding and or remodeling. He said that it signals not only their assurance in the economy, but also their desire
Business Minister, Dominic Gaskin
to remain relevant and competitive.
Gaskin said that these are two important factors in the success of businesses in any sector in any part of the world.
With that in mind, he congratulated the owners, directors, management and staff of DHL Express and Guywillship on the opening of the new building which he said, "is brightening up Alberttown and demonstrating to the world that they mean business."
The CEO for both companies is Mrs Ingrid Bristol. The Directors for DHL include Maurice John Sr, Maurice John Jr., and Donald Bristol. Head of Operations at Guywillship International is Gavin Welcome. Syreeta Welcome is in charge of operations at the Guywillship office in Guyana.
The Minister of Business asserted, "I was interested to learn that the founders of DHL started out by using air mail to deliver shipping documents around the world so that they arrived at the various customs offices before the freight, and enabled processing to begin prior the physical arrival of the goods. Those of course were the days before email and fax machines. But this was an earlier indication of a company that was adaptable and forward thinking."
He continued, "Of course the company is one of the world's leading international air express service providers. It was sold to 'Deutsche Post', a German Courier and together they form the world's largest courier company with an annual turnover of more than twenty times Guyana's GDP. So certainly as the local retail partner you have the comfort of knowing that you're partnering with a giant in the international industry."
The Business Minister added, "The need to ship things around the world quickly and efficiently will always exist and companies that provide this kind of service play an important part in keeping the wheels of business turning in most economies."
In this regard, Gaskin pointed out that it is one of those critical services on which businesses rely and millions of packages and parcels are collected and delivered every day around the world by courier companies.
Gaskin stated that good logistics is the key to being able to provide these services. He said that one cannot last in this type of business unless you have top notch systems in place to handle the volume of transactions that are demanded globally.
Like most industries in most economies, the Business Minister said that the shipping industry is driven by consumption or consumerism and this particular business DHL Express or Guywillship is no different.
He noted that the government supports local enterprise because it recognizes the value of investments and the employment opportunities that businesses create and the taxes that businesses pay.
"As a government therefore we have no desire to see businesses fail in Guyana and we have every reason to want our businesses to succeed and this is why we support business growth and development and why we are interested in seeing new investments take place," Gaskin stated.
He continued, "But we are also cognizant of the realities of our economy, and we understand that the biggest factor in whether or not businesses are successful is the state of the local economy, and in particular, the amount of money circulating in our local economy."
The Business Minister added, "I have been hearing since I came into office about twenty months ago that money is not circulating in our economy and that people are not spending the way they used to. I have no reason to disbelieve this, because when we examine the few industries that bring money into our economy, we realize that they are not doing as well as they ought to."
While this is mostly due to lower prices on international markets, the politician said that it still affects citizens here and all would need to take action to reduce the vulnerability to fluctuating global market prices for commodities.
"And one of the things that we need to do is to start producing more and start exporting more so that more money comes into our economy and more money stays in our economy," the Business Minister asserted.
In that way, Gaskin said that there will be more money circulating and being spent locally and therefore more local businesses making bigger profits and hiring more people and reinvesting those profits in expansion projects.
He added, "And of course paying more taxes and VAT so that our government can provide better services and we can all enjoy better living conditions."
In addition to congratulating the owners of the business on the opening of its new premises, Gaskin left one simple message for them to ponder.
"In today's consumer world let us be more conscious of what we consume and let us be more aware of what we produce right here in Guyana and let us consume more of what WE produce, so our Guyanese producers can develop and grow and one day become world leaders just like DHL."

A swamp and its family and relations are rarely seen and that is a pity as they offers interesting strategic challenges. Seem to favour static armies with a lot of guns where in fact it can also become a deadly trap if the enemy manages to outflank you?
A mire cannot be tiny. Otherwise it will be just a dirty spot on your gaming table. The right diameter is about 12 inches.
1. Start by creating a www.wargaminghobby.com/article/terrain-bases-20.html (base) of the right size. Watch out for the cardboard warping syndrome!


With winter weather approaching fast, don't forget to check in on your elderly neighbors - especially if they do not have family that can do so on a regular basis.
- Have one of your children or a child from the neighborhood shovel sidewalks and stairs so they can get their mail safetly.
- Suggest a tune-up and winter readiness kit for their car.
- Help strand up Christmas lights and decor. This can help boost spirits.
- Have them include you on their prescription pick up authorization checklist. If your out picking up your prescription, why not grab theirs?
- Do light grocery shopping once a week or send homemade meals nextdoor. Who knows, you may get some cookies in exchange!
- If your neighbor uses a wheelchair, make sure it's ready for winter and all screws/bolts are tight!
It's the small things like caring for elderly or disabled neighbors that makes this upcoming holiday season a great one. It also introduces younger family members to something they probably would have never done on their own without being pushed.
"Growing up, I had these two neighbors, Bill and Nancy, who would always sit down and talk to my little brother and I. Sometimes it was just to ask about our day, other times they would ask us to help out with a small chore at their house or around their yard. Looking back, the chore was something they probably could have done themselves, but I think they just liked to reward us with homemade chocolate chip cookies! I will always remember the countless hours we would sit in their kitchen rockers and talk about things. I really wish them the best in Flordia as I have heard they finally moved south!"
Get out there and be the small change!

Fifth-seeded Auburn blows past top-seeded North Carolina in NCAA Midwest Sweet 16, 97-80
Josh Vitale
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There isn't a team in the country that Auburn doesn't firmly believe it can beat.
It didn't matter that Kansas had been to 31 Sweet 16s. Auburn beat it by 14 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It didn't matter that North Carolina was a big, fast ACC regular-season champion and No. 1 seed that had been to 28 Elite Eights.
Bruce Pearl said before Friday's Sweet 16 game that the Tar Heels "might be the best team left in the field." They're no longer left in the field the first top seed to be eliminated this year. The Tigers blew them by 17 — 97-80.
For the first time since 1986 and just the second time in program history, Auburn is going to the Elite Eight.
The game started as a back-and-forth affair between two teams with an affinity for playing up-tempo, with the Tar Heels leading by four points in the final two minutes of the first half. But the Tigers reeled off a 14-0 run that spanned halftime. The lower-seeded team never trailed by fewer than seven points the rest of the way and led by double-digits throughout the final 12 minutes.

The only negative aspect of the victory is the potentially serious injury to star power forward Chuma Okeke, who suffered what appeared to be a knee injury with 8:08 remaining in the second and did not return to the game. Both his teammates and members of the Tar Heels offered words of encouragement as he was helped off the court, putting little weight on his left leg.
A team spokesperson said he was getting his injury evaluated at the arena but offered no further updated at the time. Okeke shined before the injury, double-doubling with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
The last and only time Auburn went to the Elite Eight, it lost 84-76 to a Louisville team that went on to win the national championship. On Sunday, the Tigers will play for a spot in the program's first-ever Final Four against the winner of Friday night's game between No. 2-seed Kentucky and No. 3-seed Houston at a time to be announced.


For decades, belief in evolution has skewed along faith lines, with evangelical Christians as doubters on one side and agnostics and atheists as believers on the other. Now, according to a poll released by the Pew Research Center, the divide is skewed by politics as well. Republicans have become significantly less likely than Democrats to believe in evolution (43 percent vs. 67 percent). Just what we need: the thoughtfulness and delicacy of polarized politics added to the rancor already present.
I've been talking to people on both sides while publicizing a book, The Adam Quest: Eleven Scientists Who Held on to a Strong Faith While Wrestling With the Mystery of Human Origins. I'm struck, in these conversations, that neither side can believe that any thinking person could possibly believe what the other claims to believe. For them, their opponents' ideas for or against evolution must be a product of some form of hysteria or myopia or some conspiracy to either maintain a medieval worldview or destroy religion.
I don't mean to make light of the convictions on either side. Both sets of people are passionately dedicated to the truth, one through the truthfulness of the sacred Scriptures of Judaism and Christianity, the other through the truthfulness of the dedicated, ethical process we call science. The problem is that we've reached a point of no communication, just bomb throwing across the barricade. It's bad, and it's getting worse.
It's bad for science, because it undermines science education (and career choices) for a significant proportion of our young people. It's bad because scientific funding and support get caught up in political quarrels that have absolutely nothing to do with science. Perhaps most significantly, it's bad because it reinforces temptations scientists have always felt to believe that they already know everything important, that non-scientists have nothing to add to the world's fund of wisdom. Science can be arrogant -- dangerously so -- nd polarization encourages it.
It's bad for faith, too, which regularly goes off the rails when it thinks that it has all the answers and that those who see the world differently are infidels and fools. It's bad because it drives away young people. (Evangelical pollster David Kinnaman found that the church's anti-science reputation is a major reason that young people reject church.) It's bad because it puts people of faith in the unhealthy position of relying on science every day (using cellphones, for example) while simultaneously regarding science with grave suspicion.
It's bad for Republicans, who find their "brand" linked to an image of medieval obscurantism. Americans have been, since 1776, a thoroughly modern people determined to live in the future. You don't want to build a party on a slogan of "back to the past."
It's bad for Democrats, who find their "brand" linked to an image of faithless materialism. Americans have been, for just as long, a religious people deeply suspicious of faith's cultured despisers. You don't want to build a party on the philosophy of Voltaire. In France, maybe, but not in America.
Most of all, it's bad for our children. Right now, a young person tuning in to these battles over evolution is bound to conclude that he or she has to choose. Either you follow science or you follow faith. You can't do both.
One of the scientists I profile in my book, the well-known paleontologist Mary Schweitzer, teaches at North Carolina State University. She says that many of the undergraduates who take her course, "Dinosaur World," come from conservative churches. "They see the data for evolution, and they are placed in an uncomfortable position, splitting their heads and their hearts. They usually choose to walk away from their faith.
"The best gift I can give my students," she goes on, "is to ask the right questions. I tell them that science is not the only answer. Science can't prove the existence of God or that you love your children. There's so much that we can't touch with science, because science is meant to be measured. You can't measure God."
What do we want for our children? What do people on both sides want for their children? Most people would say that they want their children to be scientifically literate, and to have a chance at a career using science. Most people would say they want to raise children with the best attributes of faith, believing in something more than a purely material existence. Most people want their children to learn respect for other people, even those who are very different from them.
It's possible to have all three. But right now, the way we're carrying on battles over evolution, many of our children will manage only one of these three. They will shy away from science because it demands that they abandon faith. They will avoid faith because it requires forsaking science. And they will have no idea -- in this realm, at least -- that it is possible to disagree with someone on the deepest level and yet treat them with respect.

Home Creationists Could Learn a Thing or Two from Socrates
Creationists Could Learn a Thing or Two from Socrates
Socrates said, "This man, on one hand, believes that he knows something, while not knowing (anything). On the other hand, I — equally ignorant — do not believe (that I know anything) (Apology 21d), which is often paraphrased, paradoxically, as, "I know that I know nothing," or, "the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Humble words coming from the man said by the oracle of Delphi to be the wisest human.
Socrates defends the verdict by explaining that he – unlike others – at least knows that he knows nothing, while those others think they know things they do not.
Shakespeare captured the sense of this in As You Like it, when he wrote, "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" (Act 5, Scene 1).
We all know people like this. We all know they most often turn out to be wrong. Socrates knew this as well, and the dialectic was eminently suited to deflating their pretensions.
Socrates did not often end up with answers to his questions, as when he says "I didn't learn anything during this talk" (Rep. 354c) or in Meno, when he tells the interlocutor that while he may have entered into the discussion sure of what virtue is, he ended it, like Socrates, in doubt (80d1-3).
For Socrates, the beginning of wisdom lay in questioning everything, in challenging assumptions. And he did. Fiercely. He may have been an unpleasant, disagreeable man (particularly for blowhards), but he was brave enough to admit his own ignorance.
The man creationists fear the most, Neil DeGrass Tyson, has admitted his own ignorance – and that of science – on a number of occasions in his reboot of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Creationists, who are to be understood as those people Socrates put down for pretending to know things they do not know, love these admissions of ignorance from scientists. They point and say, "Aha!"
Tyson said at one point, while examining the origins of life on earth, "Somehow, carbon-rich molecules began using energy to make copies of themselves." Somehow is imprecise. It is also honest. There is nothing here for Socrates to sink his teeth into. Unlike those who appear in Socratic dialogues, Tyson is not coming before us with ill-thought out, or un-reasoned claims to knowledge he does not possess. He is admitting he does not know.
Creationists blanch at this. You want to substitute "somehow" for "God"??? Tyson has made them greatly wroth.
For them, not knowing something is ignorance. Argument lost. Like, instantly. End of conversation.
For creationists, celebration ensues. For the rest of us, great hilarity.
In other words, admitting you do not know something is not a sign of weakness. It is wisdom.
Creationists mistake an admission of ignorance for ignorance when it is in fact wisdom of a very profound variety. These creationists want to fill that void with knowing. But rather than employing fact, they substitute belief. They cannot prove what they say is true, however much they might assure you that it is. They have only faith that it is true, because what they think they know was written down in a book composed many centuries before anybody had any idea how life might have developed.
Their objection revolves around a rejection of their own viewpoint: "After some passing references to Earth-based models of the origin of life (which of course omit any mention of intelligent design as a possibility)…"
Oh dear, dissed again.
Sure, they can assign "intelligent design" as the answer to the question of the origins of life, but there is no scientific evidence for this. Indeed, there is no scientific evidence for an intelligent designer – a creative force like the Christian God, or the Platonic One, or Odin or any other god. No evidence at all. You cannot employ as science a book written when people thought plagues (or natural disasters) could be explained by divine wrath. We have scientific explanations for plagues (and for natural disasters) today. There is no need to assign them to a god, though some Christians continue to do so.
In searching for the origins of life, Tyson, like a good scientist, looks only at valid possibilities, things for which an argument, based on scientific data, can be made. Tyson lives in an open-ended cosmos, not the tiny, self-enclosed thing described in the Old Testament where stars and planets are fixed in the sky when in fact we know they move, and the earth is flat instead of round and at the center of the universe instead of occupying third place in a middling solar system on one spiral arm of a vast galaxy that is one of billions.
Socrates grasped the problems better than 21st century creationists, as we find in Phaedro
I believe that the earth is very large and that we who dwell between the pillars of Hercules [109b] and the river Phasis live in a small part of it about the sea, like ants or frogs about a pond, and that many other people live in many other such regions. For I believe there are in all directions on the earth many hollows of very various forms and sizes, into which the water and mist and air have run together; but the earth itself is pure and is situated in the pure heaven in which the stars are, the heaven which [109c] those who discourse about such matters call the ether; the water, mist and air are the sediment of this and flow together into the hollows of the earth. Now we do not perceive that we live in the hollows, but think we live on the upper surface of the earth, just as if someone who lives in the depth of the ocean should think he lived on the surface of the sea, and, seeing the sun and the stars through the water, should think the sea was the sky, and should, by reason of sluggishness or [109d] feebleness, never have reached the surface of the sea, and should never have seen, by rising and lifting his head out of the sea into our upper world, and should never have heard from anyone who had seen, how much purer and fairer it is than the world he lived in. I believe this is just the case with us; for we dwell in a hollow of the earth and think we dwell on its upper surface; and the air we call the heaven, and think that is the heaven in which the stars move. But the fact is the same, [109e] that by reason of feebleness and sluggishness, we are unable to attain to the upper surface of the air; for if anyone should come to the top of the air or should get wings and fly up, he could lift his head above it and see, as fishes lift their heads out of the water and see the things in our world, so he would see things in that upper world; and, if his nature were strong enough to bear the sight, he would recognize that that is the real heaven.
Socrates understood, as the authors of the Old Testament did not, because like creationists today they occupied a closed system, the importance of context. Creationists could learn a lot from Plato, if only they were willing to open their minds to the wonder of the cosmos, and to the idea that an admission of ignorance is not the end of wisdom, but its beginning.

School-Based Health Alliance Announces Search for New President
King County School Health / April 15, 2019
Crossposted from the National School-Based Health Alliance
WASHINGTON, DC (April 9, 2019) – The School-Based Health Alliance announced today that the Board of Directors has begun a search to replace our long-standing leader, John Schlitt. "For nearly two decades, John has been at the helm of the Alliance, and I join the staff and Board in commending him for his considerable contributions to the growth of the organization and the school health care sector," said Winston Wong, Chairman of the Board.
Reflecting on his decision to step down, John shared this statement:
"After almost 19 years at the Alliance, I have decided that it is time to explore new opportunities and expand my horizons. Eight years ago, I came back to the Alliance – at the generous invitation of (former president) Linda Juszczak – with no expectation of a timeline or desire to step back into the executive seat. With the tumult of Linda's illness and death, however, I felt compelled to help navigate the Alliance through a challenging period – and to provide stable, compassionate leadership to the organization when it was needed most. I am proud of what the Board, staff and I have accomplished together and can't wait to see what achievements lie ahead for the Alliance as it seeks to expand its relationships and geographic footprint so that many more communities can discover the power and magic of school-based health care."
The Board of Directors will engage in a national search this spring.
"This moment of transition gives the Alliance an opportunity to reflect on the attributes, skills, and experiences we want from the organization's next leader," remarked Wong. "I expect to find no less a dynamic, committed champion than we had in John."
Please read the Alliance job announcement for more details.

MAJURO, Marshall Islands (Dec. 3, 1999 – Marshall Islands Journal)---A radiation dose assessment of Utrik Atoll published by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in October says that there is no risk to the population from nuclear weapons-era fallout.
The document was provided to the Marshall Islands Journal through the U.S. Embassy in Majuro.
The Livermore study, written by William Robison and other researchers, said: "The radiological dose on Utrik Atoll today from weapons-related radionuclides is very low and of no consequence to the health detriment of the population.
"The Utrik people can live on their atoll without concern about radiological exposure and enjoy life on their islands."
According to charts included in the report, people living on Utrik are exposed to an average of about 150 millirem of radiation per year. Approximately four millirem of the exposure is nuclear weapons-related, while the balance is from natural background radiation, according to the Livermore report.
The report compares Utrik's annual exposure of about 150 millirem with that of people in the U.S. (about 300 mrem) and Europe (close to 250 mrem).

Wave washers, sometimes referred to as Wave Springs have a multitude of waves in the axial direction, generally three but up to six. By increasing the number of waves, the thickness can be reduced for a given load, but only by decreasing the amount of deflection and increasing the radial stress. Wave uniformity is important because the load/deflection rate will not start until all waves are evenly loaded.

Google CEO Doesn't Know How His Company Operates – Needs Government Guidance
Mindy Hill
It was a grandiose occasion at the Rayburn Building to welcome the biggest data collectors in America's history to share some insightful information on consumer data use. Not sure if Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO arrived by autonomous driving vehicle or plane, but the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee was ready to hear what Google has been doing with consumers' data. This was the moment many had been awaiting since the 2016 Presidential Election. In fact, it's been so much time; an al leged Chinese search engine was under way, the secrecy of Google+ breach, YouTube service interruptions and content rankings, along with algorithms, no restrictions on child pornography, and the robots Ad purchasing power ability. As you can see it's a long list of items in which the hearing could possibly address a few. Therefore, it primarily focused on "Transparency & Accountability: Examining Google and its Data Collection Use and Filtering Practices."
Despite Pichai joining Google 15 years ago, it appears from the December 11th hearing he is disconnected from his companies day-to-day operations, standards and practices. This leaves many to question whether Google is more of a "baby" start-up company or the largest private company with access to all the worlds data with minimal security or privacy regulations. Google is not the government and is in need of guidance from them. The questions ranged from:
"Who at Google makes judgment calls on whether to filter or block objectionable content?" – Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va), opening remarks
"Mr Pichai is it true, the Android operating systems sends Google information every 3 minutes detailing the exact location of a smart phone?" – Committee member
How advertising is handled at Google
"What legal obligations is the company under to disclose such data exposure that doesn't involve financial information, [but] still involve other personal information?"
Mr. Pichai reviewed his notes but didn't have a good answer for the first question. "We go to great lengths to protect the privacy. Android is a powerful platform, and it depends on the applications users choose to use," replied Mr. Pichai to smart phone data collection. It was very timely to learn that advertising rates can vary. However no bias is associated with the advertisers as many get ready for the 2020 Elections. Mr. Pichai says "it is done in a non-partisan way." "It depends on the situation and all requirements," replied Mr. Pichai to the legal obligations to disclose data exposure.
The company shares and collaborates a lot with law enforcement. Moreover, Google CEO said during the hearing "we do not sell users' data as a company," and they "always think there is more to do." As the company grows more mature in operating standards, privacy practices, and tracking users every move, it is likely that Google could take into consideration Congressman Steve Cohen's question: "Have you considered having an online school that people could go to, login and ask questions? Something easy to talk to somebody and ask how do I do this or that?" Google is constantly looking for better ways, and one option is online tutorials and is happy to present feedback to the Committee on this lesson plan.
During the hearing, Pichai didn't appear to know the answers to the questions and additional notes were needed. When asked an entry level question, "Are you familiar with the General Data Protection Regulations by the European Union?" Mr. Pichai stated, "I am very familiar." He acknowledged that the United States does not have a comprehensive legislation. Congressman Ted Poe (R-Tx) followed up that preschool graduate question with , "Are you familiar with House Resolution 1039?" Mr. Pichai further displayed his lack of knowledge by not knowing that HR 1039 was introduced by the Congressman that would adopt some of the European practices in American and give consumers the right to privacy. A copy of which will be provided to him courtesy of the Congressman.
Google certainly has a few more weeks before the New Year to focus on growth and development regarding its operating standards. That will be coupled with the security and privacy of users' data before a formula from the government arrives. Hopefully, at the next hearing Mr. Pichai will be able to speak into the mic and answer more questions from the Committee!

Q: pythonic way to flatten nested lists? I have a list-tuple-list tree and I'd like to flatten it for a query, so that I can print all the items of the the first lists of each tuple.
I can do it via a for loop:
bigNest = [([item1,item2],[]),([item3],[item4])]
mergedlist = []
for listItem in bigNest:
   mergedlist += listItem[0]
print mergedList

Is there a simpler/quicker way which will also work with larger tuples?

A: edit: sorry the last post was wrong, you could do a list comprehension:
mergedlist = []
foovar = [mergedlist.extend(i[0]) for i in bigNest]

Latest Update: 6 December 2002 - The Home and Tunisia pages have been updated; the Top Ten Page has been created to give you our views on what was and was not useful on our trip.
This site documents our journey from Pretoria (South Africa) home to the UK. We set out for Cape Town at the end of March 2002, but sadly endured an unscheduled stop there - for details of the accident, see button on left hand side (Setbacks Page). From Cape Town we continued our journey north on Saturday 8 June. We travelled through southern and East Africa, before heading west through Sudan and Chad prior to crossing the Sahara via Niger and Algeria. We arrived in the UK, after a ferry crossing from Tunis to France, on 22 November 2002 having completed 35,248 km.
You can navigate your way around the site using the buttons on the left, or the links within the text. For example further details of the preparation of the second vehicle, Daphne II press (see Vehicle II Page). The countries page details our experiences and thoughts on each country. Individual countries can be opened either from the side button or from the name of the country on the map. The route page indicates the planned (in green) and actual (in orange) route taken. Rather than list all our equipment, the Top Ten Page gives our thoughts on what worked and what did not.
This is the story of a journey. It all started a couple of years ago on a trip to Tanzania, when Adrian mentioned in passing that he had an ambition to drive from the UK to Cape Town. We both thought for a while, agreed that this would be a wonderful adventure, and carried on with our respective jobs. Later, whilst Adrian was working in Pretoria, we realised we might never have this opportunity again. We decided to take a career break to make the trip. So that was the beginning.
Since then, we bought a Land Rover Defender (Daphne) in October 2001 in Pretoria, modified her (see Vehicle Page) and we conducted a trial run through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana over Christmas and New Year 2001/2. After further modifications, we set out at the end of March 2002. Both being keen amateur photographers we tried to maintain a pictorial record of our travels. The digital camera should provide pictures to the website to give a flavour of each country.
This web site has been set up to enable you to follow the preparation and planning, and then monitor our progress by viewing each country page. You will be able to find further detailed information in each of the other sections (see buttons on left hand side). Individual countries can be accessed by pressing the "Countries" button which will take you to a page with a button for each country we plan to visit. On the individual country pages you will find our diary entries. As we are starting in South Africa, many of the pages will not contain any information until later in our trip.
If you would like to contact us, the email address is at the bottom of this page. Any advice or comments would be very welcome. The site has been set up very simply, using HTML rather than an internet website package, as we wanted to avoid animation and other effects which take a great deal of time to load. We also wanted to ensure compatibility with as many browsers as possible, and did not want to be sending a great many complicated coding sequences down a phone line when we provide the updates. Now we are home we welcome other's thoughts or questions about the travel or queries about your own travel.


Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by the Northwest Arkansas Technology Summit and its partners, NWA Tech Council and the Greater Bentonville area Chamber of Commerce. I was invited to attend this conference in exchange for social media promotion of the event. All opinions are my own and recollections of the event are reflective of my experience.
I recently attended the Northwest Arkansas Technology Summit, which was held at the John Q. Hammons Convention Center in Rogers. You may have noticed my Facebook and Twitter accounts blowing up with information during that time. This was my second time to attend, where I was able to learn about technology in the workplace and to share what I learned on social media.
I was not surprised to find out that the attendance for the event has grown from 400 to 1500; it was obvious looking around the main ballroom that people were excited to be there. This year, organizers even added two days to the event, to include a day targeted to women professionals in tech and another day labeled as a makers summit.
I particularly enjoyed the morning keynote presentation by Michael Troiano, who is the VP-IoT, of AT&T Business Solutions. He shared some interesting figures that really got me thinking about how technology, and specifically the internet, have such a big role in everyday life. In our personal lives, we are connected not only through our phones, TVs and cars, but now we are able to control our thermostats and view our home security systems when we aren't home. City governments are improving efficiency by doing things like providing some workers with Wi-Fi in work vehicles and controlling street lights.
Troiano told us of a study that says by 2020, there will be more than 35 billion devices connected to the internet. Guys, that's four times the number of people in the whole world! Can you imagine?
As I looked through the agenda (online, of course!), I found it really hard to choose which breakout sessions I wanted to attend. Now, more than ever, I realize that it's important for me to keep learning new things to improve my job skills and be more marketable as a potential employee.
One of the sessions I attended was a panel discussion led by three women in the tech field. They each spoke about their careers, how they came to them and how they continue to change. The women stressed the importance of getting girls interested in technology early in life. In fact, studies have shown that girls are equally as interested in technology gaming, building and designing as boys are. Girls do think math is fun and cool, despite the old stereotype we know. The problem is that at a certain age, most girls decide that they don't want to show that enthusiasm or interest in math in front of boys. One of the panelists said this is a reason that some schools are starting to separate classrooms so that boys and girls won't be distracted or influenced by the other. I'm not sure my opinion on this, but it's certainly worth reading about.
I had a great experience at the Northwest Arkansas Technology Summit this year. I'm super proud that I have so many friends involved in the planning of the event, and who support the event. I'm even more proud of the girlfriends I have in the technology field. They are all doing important work and being strong role models for girls just like mine.


Do we find it hard to suffer? It is one of life's great truths that we will encounter suffering in this valley of tears, and when we do, how do we handle it?
All too often we greet suffering with feelings of dread and despair. We abhor the thought of sacrificing our own personal wants and desires, so we mope around as miserable men.
Opportunities to suffer are a gift from God. Yes, that same God Who does not allow a hair to fall from our heads without His permission also specially ordains our sufferings. He has a very definite purpose in mind when He sends us trials. Do we satisfy that purpose, or do we waste a God-given opportunity?
If we want to take advantage of these gifts from God, we have to learn to suffer. How? Rather than focusing on the aspects of the suffering itself, let us turn our attention instead to the motivation for suffering.
We must suffer out of love for God. When we do this, all becomes as nothing. Indeed our yoke becomes sweet and our burden light. Every parent should understand this concept, as every good mother or father would willingly suffer anything for the good of their child. In fact, good parents even go so far as to seek out opportunities to suffer and sacrifice for their children in order to prove their love.
God is no different. Let's focus on loving Him, and cheerful and beneficial suffering will naturally follow as the only logical outcome.

PNAS: W. F., Patent Lawyer
By drorzel on November 19, 2014.
I've decided to do a new round of profiles in the Project for Non-Academic Science (acronym deliberately chosen to coincide with a journal), as a way of getting a little more information out there to students studying in STEM fields who will likely end up with jobs off the "standard" academic science track.
First up in this round is a CS major turned IP lawyer.
1) What is your non-academic job? I am an intellectual property attorney. I work for a "boutique" law firm, which means it specializes in one area of law (that being intellectual property, naturally). I work on all areas of IP, principally patent, copyright, and trademark (but especially patents).
In 2014, I was seconded to Japan for a major client of my firm, a Japanese corporation that you've heard of (to say the least) but that I won't name. I do the same job, but I work directly and solely for this corporation.
2) What is your science background? I have a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in Computer Science Engineering. (I'm also a member of the Patent Bar, which is relevant because that requires a level of scientific background usually seen through coursework.)
3) What led you to this job? When I started college, I figured I was going to get my programming degree and go off and work at Google or somewhere and write code for a living. But while I was there I took several courses in the History and Sociology of Science department (which I ended up minoring in) on the relationship between science/technology and society/culture, including History of Western Technology, Science and Literature ("science fiction as the mythology of the modern scientific/technological society"), and Cyberculture.
I realized that I was still fascinated by technology and computers, but not for their own sake: I wanted to be involved in how they fit into the world. And in that interplay, I found the issues of law. Cyberlaw, copyright law in the digital era, constitutional questions applied to the Internet, and the underlying questions of creativity, technology, and culture...it grabbed me and didn't let go.
I graduated and spent two years working as a programmer, more to get some "real life" experience before going back to school than anything else, then went to law school. From there it was straightforward interviewing through my school.
I got my secondment because it was a preexisting program at my firm, but I made a point of asking about it a lot.
4) What's your work environment like? (Lab bench, field work, office, etc) I work in an office. In New York I have my own office with a door that closes and everything, and my firm is business formal four days a week with casual Fridays; in Japan I'm in a big open-plan office (which is apparently the norm here) and business casual every day unless we're having a big meeting and want to look the part.
5) What do you do in a typical day? Most of my job is reading and writing. On a typical day I'll research case law to write legal opinions or legal arguments, review patents for legal analysis, consult with a client about their case, maybe do some filing of documents with the relevant court, or review documents we received as part of our cases (the dreaded "doc review").
In Japan, it's pretty much the same, but with an emphasis on reviewing contracts for proper English usage, and meeting with American adversaries (companies we're involved in disputes with) to be involved in negotiation, including translation--of gestures and tact as much as language. I spend a good amount of time explaining to my Japanese coworkers what I, as an American, read from adversaries' body language or tone of voice.
6) How does your science background help you in your job? Most important for me is that I review patents, and I really do need a science background for that. (As I said above, a science background is actually required to be on the Patent Bar, which just means I'm allowed to file patent applications for other people.) Patents will frequently have schematics or specialized terms, and a lot of patent law is based around the perspective of a "person having ordinary skill in the art," so it's pretty important to speak the language or technology and science.
7) If a current college student wanted to get a job like yours, how
should they go about it? They shouldn't.
Just kidding. That's the standard answer to people college students who want to be lawyers, though. Google around and you can find plenty on that point. But if you've actually decided that you want to be an IP lawyer, get a grounding in the law (I took a "law 101" course as an undergrad), and choose your law school carefully.
IP is kind of an odd duck in the law; unlike a lot of other fields it's more specialized (hence there are a lot more boutique firms like mine), so if you're in this, you'll be in for the long haul. You can't really decide to chuck it and switch to bankruptcy. (I mean, you can, but it's a bit harder.)
On the other hand, I do entertain fantasies of going in-house at places like Google (and it's possible).
Some things don't change.
8) What's the most important thing you learned from science? Logic. During my 1L course on statutory interpretation, I seemed to be the only person in the room who understood the difference between "and" and "or" when used in a list. (It's pretty important because if a law, especially something like a criminal law, says "A, B, _and_ C," that's really different from "A, B, _or_ C." And the law is full of multi-part tests.)
Relatedly, my experience with computer code makes legal code easier to understand. Jokes on the names aside, the two forms of writing have a lot more in common with each other than either does with fiction.
And like I said, the language of science is pretty damn important. Especially when you're dealing with engineers giving depositions.
9) What advice would you give to young science students trying to plan
their careers? Never be afraid to reevaluate why you want to do something. I thought I wanted to be a programmer, but it wasn't writing code that I really cared about.
10) (Totally Optional Question) What's the pay like? I'm a lawyer, in a traditional law firm to boot. More has been written about legal salaries than about why college students shouldn't want to be lawyers. All I'll say is, I'm on the lowish side of the ridiculous salaries common to my profession.

Q: Samsung Contacts App Connection to My App My App creates contacts in Android using the ContactsContract and a custom Mimetype.  On HTC and in the Emulator, the contact is displayed in an Actions section that I can tap on and it take me to my application's activity.  When the same application is run on a Samsung Galaxy device the contact is rendered in the "Connected via" section, but the icon isn't clickable.  I'm sure its possible to make this work because WhatsApp application renders in the same place and it is clickable.  I have browsed the Contacts Content URIs and can't see any significant different about the contacts that WhatsApp makes and my contacts.
I think the contacts.xml and manifest portions are relevant and included below.

Bathroom Lighting Fixtures – Lighting is one of the most important design elements in the bathroom. The most effective way to ignite the bathroom light with layers of light in the way. The creation of ambient light from the public light source, usually a fixture in the region's skies, wall sconce or a row of lights above the mirror, skylights or window provide natural light during the day. However, many of the bathrooms do not have access to the outer walls of windows, which may have been ruled out because of privacy concerns. Is usually installed task lighting above or around the mirror. It is overlooked and accent lighting in the bathroom or in some cases progress through the candle plugged into an outlet or by lighting candles. The best option for accent lighting in the bathroom used cove lighting.
Cove Bathroom Lighting Fixtures are a form of the most commonly used forms of indirect lighting for aesthetic purposes. Is usually installed cove lighting through a kind of crown molding a few inches below the ceiling? This technical design specialized lighting so that you do not see the devices, only to soft, glowing light that illuminates the wall and ceiling. Light actually comes from a rope LED lights, which works on the length of the ledger.
Cove Bathroom Lighting Fixtureswill create a warm atmosphere in your bathroom. Architectural features such as edges, crown molding, ceiling or trays corners and skylights can be enhanced with beautiful, glowing light. Turn off the light of the general expenses stark and soak away the stress of the day in warm, sandalwood and vanilla-scented bubble bath under quiet, cove lights glow amber. A dimmer switch help you to control the amount of light produced Cove your lights.


More data on non-income dimensions of poverty are available than at any previous time in history. Alongside this, multidimensional measurement methodologies have advanced considerably in the past fifteen years. These advances together have created new possibilities to measure multidimensional poverty at the local, national and international level. Yet the fact that overall measures can be constructed does not mean that they will necessarily add value. This paper focuses on the question of when, how and why certain multidimensional poverty measures add value, sketches the limits of the contribution, and introduces a set of standing questions. The key value-added of a rigorously implemented multidimensional poverty index is that it conveys additional information not captured in single-dimensional measures (or in a dashboard) on the joint distribution of disadvantage and the composition of poverty. It also provides a consistent account of the overall change in multidimensional poverty across time and space. The paper discusses the joint distribution approach to multidimensional poverty measurement and presents one class of poverty measures within this approach. It then introduces one recently implemented measure within this family: the 104-country Multidimensional Poverty Index 2010 and uses concrete examples to explain its construction further. For example, without weights one can only identify the multidimensionally poor by the union or the intersection approaches; by these approaches the 2010 MPI would have identified an average of 58% or 0% of people across the 104 countries as poor. It also shows how to 'unfold' the MPI by sub-group or dimension, and also by intensity – because similar 'intensities' of poverty can conceal different distributions of intensity among the poor. Pointing out the added value of multidimensional poverty indexes is not to suggest that single-dimensional measures be abandoned but rather supplemented. Investing further in multidimensional measures has the potential to generate significant advances in understanding and useful policy tools.
