Huya wants $550m follow-on to NY IPO
April 4, 2019 Jan Kot
Guangzhou-based e-sports streaming platform Huya plans to raise US$550 million through a follow-on public share offering, reports Yicai Global.
The New York-listed firm wants to build a content ecosystem and find new partners to offer more diverse and high-quality content, it said in a filing to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The company also plans to develop new products, make overseas acquisitions and run new marketing campaigns.
With a valuation of US$5.5 billion, Huya more than doubled its operating revenue last year and pocketed RMB461 million (US$68.7 million) in net profit. It also began expanding into Southeast Asia and Latin America under the brand Nimo TV, which had already picked up 10 million monthly active users by the end of last year after launching in May.

Knowledge City: Sino-Singapore dream realized
In the northeast corner of Guangzhou, a vision of the city's future has been rising for nearly a decade. Thanks to some major investments announced recently, and as the project nears the halfway mark of its original 20-year development plan, an opportune moment has arisen to review its progress. Local media have been gushing about its potential.
GBA startup communities: an explainer
As the masterplan of turning the nine cities in Guangdong as well as Hong Kong and Macau into an integrated technology hub unfolds, incubators and accelerators have been springing up around the region, all rushing to gain a foothold in the rise of China's Silicon Valley. Incubators, in the Western script, are companies staffed by experienced investors and executives that help startups by providing them with professional training, working space and venture capital. Accelerators are basically doing the same job, but focused on scaling up existing business models. The landscape is rather different in China, where the central and local governments are dominant. Here, startup support services are established largely to facilitate the country's economic development agenda laid down by the Party, and lines are always blurred in terms of the functions of incubators, accelerators and scientific laboratories.
GBA in 2020: Same challenges, less drama
The Greater Bay Area's masterplan is not yet a year old – it began on the auspicious date of 02/18/2018 – and yet it has become economic scripture, cited by officials and entrepreneurs throughout the region's nine cities and two Special Administrative regions. This is not only because of the top-down way China is governed. It is also because the GBA plan is a well-researched and concisely written 60-page document. The vision it lays out for the region's integration is clear, and the priorities it lays down for the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau are coherent. As the GBA leaves behind a difficult 2019 and moves into an uncertain 2020, it would be fair to say that a good start has been made along the road to 2035, thanks to a clearly marked roadmap.
University Town: Raising the research bar
In the middle of the Pearl River flowing through Guangzhou's Panyu district lies the Xiaoguwei Island, a 43.2 sqkm parcel of land along with its south bank that is home to 12 universities. Known as "University Town", the collection of campuses was designed and built in the early 2000s to spur research and innovation throughout the entire province. Today it is one of the "ten cores" of the Science and Technology Innovation Corridor (STIC), the blueprint for "China's Silicon Valley" within the overall masterplan of the Greater Bay Area. The tertiary-institution district owes its creation to the far-sighted planning ability of provincial leaders. By the end of the 1990s, they had realized that 20 years of breakneck growth under the Reform and Opening era were running out of steam. A mismatch had developed between the needs of Guangdong's booming manufacturing industry and the skills of its labor force. The higher-education sector had lagged the pace of change: by 1998, only 81 out of every 1,000 candidates for College Entrance Examination were able to secure places in higher education, according to southcn.com. More university places needed to be created. The mission to solve this quandary was unveiled in 2001, with a masterplan to build a dedicated area for a cluster of universities. Construction began a year later, with an audacious goal set by the Party Secretary at the time, Zhang Dejiang, to "build the nation's first university town".
Shenzhen's Top Companies: Fintech Giants
A glance at the financial scorecard of Shenzhen's publicly listed companies in the most recent quarter shows an impressive performance: Across 393 companies, listed on six stock exchanges at home and abroad, revenues rose by 13.05%, profits by a whopping 33.08%, YoY.

'Science Cities' rise in Guangdong
The Greater Bay Area's response to the need for high-quality basic research is to build it, with four clusters of scientific institutions coming out of the ground in Guangzhou's Nansha, Shenzhen's Guangming, Dongguan's Songshan Lake, and Zhongshan's Cuiheng. When it comes to technology, Guangdong has no worries about designing, building, and selling stuff. But there is a step before all of that in the tech industry's value chain, and it is a step in which the province has traditionally been lagging. Basic scientific research is where Beijing and Shanghai have long had an edge, given the prevalence of their leading universities focused on scientific research. It's not as if the province lacks in academic spirit or ambition. There are some well-established innovation hubs in Guangdong, such as Guangzhou's "Science City", which has some of the world's biggest R&D-focused corporate names established in its Huangpu district, or Shenzhen's Nanshan Science and Technology Park, home to some of the country's biggest tech brands. And the GBA masterplan has at its core the ambitious "10 hubs" plan to build China's answer to Silicon Valley, known as the Science and Technology Innovation Corridor (STIC).

Dressed in Harry Potter style robes and clutching wands, Crystal McCabe and Dr. Lynn Basko are ready to invoke magical chants of wisdom over what is expected to be a rapt audience of teenaged prospective teachers and veteran high school teachers. For these Grand Canyon University educators, teaching is magical, as evidenced by the humorous, 45-minute presentation they have planned for the 2018 Educators Rising National Conference on Thursday-Saturday in Orlando.
The students will be asked to text one-word descriptions of their passion for teaching and the reasons they want to teach. These responses will be formatted into a Word Cloud, with the most common responses in larger type, displayed on the video screen in the presenting room, and then juxtaposed with a Word Cloud culled from responses from GCU College of Education faculty.
"We expect the results to be very similar, just showing that what motivates them at this very beginning stage when they are just thinking about going into education is what continues to motivate them even when they are on with their career,'' said Basko, who will channel Professor Minerva McGonagall while McCabe will embrace a muggle role.
The pair will present at the conference for aspiring teachers from all across the country, along with four other COE instructors: Dr. Marjaneh Gilpatrick, Kimber Underdown, Dr. Jeff Martin and Dr. Brandy Miller.
GCU is among 18 universities participating in the innovation exhibit at the conference, which will be kicked off by keynote speaker Mandy Manning, the 2018 National Teacher of the Year.
In an attempt to persuade the aspiring teachers to stay the course they are charting "by finding comedy in a situation," McCabe will share one of her toughest moments. On the day of her teacher evaluation, by both a school and a district administrator, one of her emotionally disabled students streaked in the classroom.
Unlike most professions, potential teachers have witnessed the job all of their school lives. Consequently, they likely have seen stressful situations.
They encourage the high school students to investigate the profession by interviewing teachers, counselors and school psychologists in their own schools.
Both presenters can relate to audience members, who are likely to start their careers in K-12 settings.
For seven years, McCabe answered the calling as a special education teacher. She came to GCU five years ago, earned the assistant professor title last year and will finish her doctoral degree in the fall. Basko taught fifth grade for eight years before moving on to GCU, where she has gained a doctorate and secured the assistant professor title. Both instructors teach online COE students on a full-time basis.
Underdown came up with the idea after reading "O Great One! A Little story about the Awesome Power of Recognition" by David Novak. McCabe read the book, at Underdown's suggestion, and they both agreed that applying the theme to a classroom setting would make for a relevant presentation for the conference.
"What we found in our research is that some teachers are so focused on catching the things students are struggling with and helping them make growth that we do not always see the positive things they are doing, '' McCabe said.
The pair suggest that teachers emphasize gratitude from the beginning of the school year, whether it is writing a note of appreciation to the custodian for cleaning the classroom or to the principal for reading to the class. They also suggest that teachers make positive phone calls to parents of students who might not be accustomed to receiving positive feedback about their children.
While Martin will share classroom-management strategies in an interactive, technology-oriented presentation for novice and experienced teachers, Gilpatrick will emphasize the importance of teachers as storytellers.
The basis of Gilpatrick's presentation is an article she co-authored, "Tell Me a Tale: Using the Art of Storytelling to Increase English Learners' Oral Language Abilities,'' published in 2015 in the Arizona Reading Journal, an educational publication.
The way material is presented is "input" and the way students are expected to demonstrate their mastery of the content is the "output," according to Miller.
Her second presentation is about building a philosophy of inclusion.
Miller's master's degree has a specific emphasis on special education, and her doctorate in organizational leadership from GCU has an emphasis in K-12 education.
COE Dean Dr. Kimberly LaPrade is incredibly proud of the faculty members who will present at the conference.

Bram van Ojik, GroenLinks leader
Jesse Klaver
Bram van Ojik
Fmr. GroenLinks leader wants to return to parliament
Former GroenLinks leader Bram van Ojik may return to the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament. His name is on the 10th spot on GroenLinks list of candidates, which was presented on Sunday, NRC reports.
Van Ojik, 62, decided to step down as GroenLinks leader halfway through his term in may last year. He handed over the reigns of the party to current leader 30-year-old Jesse Klaver.
According to the party, Klaver approached Van Ojik himself because he thinks he can make good use of the former party leader's experience. Van Ojik thinks that he can only add value to the party if it is a large faction in the Kamer, which is why his name is in the 10th spot on the list.
Van Ojik does have a lot of experience in The Hague, according to NRC. In the 90's he occupied a seat in the Kamer and he worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time.
GroenLinks rose in the polls after Klaver was appointed party leader, but in recent weeks the party's popularity dropped somewhat. Currently various polls has the green party at between 10 and 15 seats in the Tweede Kamer.

While other miniature painters lets you choose to what level your miniatures will be painted, Karmic Lizard only offers a painting service of very high standard.
A unit of 5 miniatures of the same type costs $45, 30 euro or 300 SEK.
A unit of 5 different miniatures (such as a unit command or special weapons) would cost $60, 40 euro or 400 SEK.
Single miniatures (such as leaders or heroes) costs $45, 30 euro or 300 SEK. This means that this single model will get as much time as a whole unit of five normally would, making the end results impressive to say the least.
Closed vehicles such as Tanks cost $45, 30 euro or 300 SEK.
Open-topped vehicles (with up to 2 crew members) cost $60, 40 euro or 400 SEK.
At Karmic Lizard we find great joy in some of Games Workshop's less known miniature ranges, called Specialist Games. We will offer discounts on commissions for these games. This includes Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Epic Armageddon, Battlefleet Gothic and Mordheim.
These discounts can vary between orders, but are usually in the form of getting a number of single miniatures (star players, leaders or heroes) painted for free.


Boston Marathon 2012: I'm back in the game!
What can I say? Am I a glutton for punishment? Am I addicted to the challenge? Am I CRAAAZZZYYY?!
That said, I still could not be more thrilled to announce that I have officially been selected as a member of the 2012 Boston Marathon Team for the Mass Mentoring Partnership!! For the second winter in a row, I will brave the elements in pursuit of a 2012 finisher's medal. And I will put my legs and heart to the test as I attempt to achieve the 26.2-mile distance AND raise lots of money for this wonderful organization that helps thousands of underprivileged kids each year.
So I hope you will follow me again in my journey. I have two goals this year: 1.) finish a sub-5-hour marathon AND 2.) raise $10,000 for MMP (that's $2,000 more than last year). Can I do it?
Yes, I believe you are crazy but congratulations. I passed on running for DFMC this year. I couldn't imagine making that commitment again so soon. It is very much like pregnancy, it is all worth it in the end but the memories of pain and discomfort are still too fresh!!!! I look forward to following your 2012 marathon journey!!!!!

2011 Honda CR-Z Development Film Released

Shortly after its world production debut at the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) last week, Honda released a film showing the development of its new sporty hybrid coupe, the CR-Z.
The film features the CR-Z's project leader, Norio Tomobe, and one of its chief engineers, Terukazu Torikai, who both provide an insight into the development process behind the Honda's new model.
The car presented at NAIAS is the US version of the car and is projected to hit the North American shores this summer.
The CR-Z's compact 2+2 configuration will only be available in the EU and Japan. The European version of the CR-Z goes on sale in the UK in summer 2010, and will debut at the Geneva Auto Show 2010 in March.
The hybrid is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with Honda's compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid-electric system, with maximum power going all the way up to 122 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 128 lb-ft of torque between 1,000 and 1,500 rpm. According to Honda, these figures are lower if the car comes equipped with a CVT: 123 lb-ft of torque.
The carmaker did not release the final fuel consumption and emission data yet, but preliminary figures are pointing to 36 city/38 highway mpg on CVT-equipped model and 31 city/37 highway mpg for a manual transmission.
Pricing is yet to be disclosed but some sources say the CR-Z Sport hybrid coupe is likely to be priced in the same range with the Insight.

Today the UFC officially announced a major fight in the women's strawweight division for UFC 228. 6th ranked former champion Carla Esparza (13-5, 4-3 UFC) will take on rising contender Tatiana Suarez ( 6-0, 3-0 UFC) who is ranked 9th in the division.
Esparza was able to string together consecutive UFC wins for the first time in 2017. The inaugural strawweight champion won decisions over Maryna Moroz and Cynthia Calvillo but 2018 didn't start as well. Unfortunately, she was unable to make it 3 in a row to start 2018, losing a closely contested split decision to Gadelha. In spite of the loss, Esparza showed improvements in her standup game. With a win over Suarez, Esparza would earn herself another crack at a top 5 opponent.
Suarez has been on an absolute tear to start her UFC career. The 2-time World Championship bronze medalist wrestler ran through the field on The Ultimate Fighter 23 and later became the season's strawweight winner with a submission win over Amanda Cooper. She followed that with a dominant win over Vivane Pereira before her most impressive performance to date. In her first fight against a ranked opponent, Suarez made quick work of Alexa Grasso in May. The performance moved Suarez from exciting prospect to potential contender. A win over Esparza plants Suarez in the top 5 of the division only 7 fights into her UFC career.
UFC 228 will showcase some of the UFC's most talented women. These two grapplers will add a high-level showdown to the card.

Q: DIV:hover, 3 Shown, 3 Hidden, 1 Headline I have 3 "main" boxes labeled #box1, #box2, & #box3. Hovering over any one of the boxes is supposed to unhide its respective "hidden" information text, labeled .info1, .info2, .info3. At the same time it is supposed to chang the opacity of the other boxes to 0.2 and hide ".headline".
I'm trying to avoid Javascript, so I'm trying to do it with CSS.
I have looked around and found multiple topics on it but I can't wrap my head around why this does not work: http://jsfiddle.net/q6jpjz65/1/
    .headline {
        display: block;
    }
    .info1 {
        display: none;
    }
    .info2 {
        display: none;
    }
    .info3 {
        display: none;
    }

    #box1, #box2, #box3 {
        background-color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0);
        width: 1.92708%;
        height: 3.7871%;
        position: absolute;
        border: 1px solid white;
        outline: 1px solid black;
        opacity: 1;
    }

    #box1:hover #box2 #box3 {
        opacity: 0.2;
    }
    #box1:hover + .info1 {
        display: block;
        opacity: 1;
    }
    #box1:hover + .headline {
        display: none;
        opacity: 1;
    }

    #box2:hover #box1 #box3 {
        opacity: 0.2;
    }
    #box2:hover + .info2 {
        display: block;
        opacity: 1;
    }
    #box2:hover + .headline {
        display: none;
        opacity: 1;
    }

    #box3:hover #box1 #box2 {
        opacity: 0.2;
    }
    #box3:hover + .info3 {
        display: block;
        opacity: 1;
    }
    #box3:hover + .headline {
        display: none;
        opacity: 1;
    }

    This text is always displayed when nothing is hovered.

        Information for box1.

        Information for box2.

        Information for box3.

A: You can try wrapping everything in a wrap div and styling based on that: JS Fiddle
HTML

This text is always displayed when nothing is hovered.

Information for box1.

Information for box2.

Information for box3.

CSS
.wrap:hover #box2, .wrap:hover #box3, .wrap:hover #box1{
  opacity: 0.2;
}
.wrap:hover .headline {display: none;}
#box1:hover, #box2:hover, #box3:hover {opacity: 1 !important;}

The main issue you will have without JS is that to hide the Headline, it will also hide if you hover over the headline since it has to be wrapped inside the element to which the hover event is applied.
Javascript is recommended.

A: For showing the child elements you just need to remove the + in the CSS, from #box1:hover + .info1 to just #box1:hover .info1:
#box1:hover .info1 { ... }

#box2:hover .info2 { ... }

#box3:hover .info3 { ... }

Fiddle Example
But for changing the opacity of other boxes to 0.2 and hiding .headline you will need to use JavaScript. Here is how it would look for #box1:
document.getElementById("box1").onmouseover = function() {
    document.getElementsByClassName("headline")[0].style.display = "none";
    for(var i=1; i<4; i++) {
        if(i != 1) document.getElementById("box"+i).style.opacity = "0.2";
    }
}

Although you could leave the styling of other boxes in pure CSS by doing wrapper as noted in @dwreck08 answer. So that JS could be simplified to just (for all boxes):
for(var j=1; j<4; j++) {
    document.getElementById("box"+j).onmouseover = function() {
        document.getElementsByClassName("headline")[0].style.display = "none";
    }
}

If you need the headline to reappear onmouseout you would do:
for(var j=1; j<4; j++) {
    document.getElementById("box"+j).onmouseover = function() {
        document.getElementsByClassName("headline")[0].style.display = "none";
    }
    document.getElementById("box"+j).onmouseout = function() {
        document.getElementsByClassName("headline")[0].style.display = "block";
    }
}

Note this can be greatly simplified using JS libraries like jQuery

The simple fact of the matter is that lawyers not using digital note taking software, of some form, are costing themselves quite a bit of money. Think of how much time you spend looking for pieces of paper (whether they be notes, pleadings, or correspondence). Now ask yourself how much you pay your staff people or assistants. If you saved five hours a week, currently spent looking for stuff, then that's five fewer hours worth of payroll that you would need. This is on top of the fact that you take up space, which you pay rent for, to store paper files. Wouldn't you like that space to be devoted to something which can actually bring revenue to your firm? I know I would if I were in your shoes.

Seoul unsure if North Korea will air World Cup qualifier
In this Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019, photo, South Korea national soccer team's Son Heung-min, center, warms up during a training session ahead of Asian zone Group H qualifying soccer match against Sri Lanka for the 2022 World Cup at Hwaseong Sports Complex Main Stadium in Hwaseong, South Korea. (Hong Ki-won/Yonhap via AP)
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea said Thursday it's unclear if North Korea will allow a live broadcast when it hosts the South's national soccer team for a World Cup qualifier in Pyongyang next Tuesday.
Seoul's Unification Ministry, which deals with inter-Korean affairs, said the North has been ignoring South Korean calls for discussions on broadcasting the game live and allowing South Korean spectators to attend.
"There has been no particular progress on the issues of (sending South Korean) cheering squads or providing broadcast coverage, so they won't be easy," since there's only a few days left until the game, said a ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity during a background briefing to reporters.
The North in recent months has severed virtually all diplomatic activity and cooperation with the rival South amid a standstill in nuclear negotiations with the United States, while ramping up missile tests in an apparent effort to pressure Washington and Seoul.
South Korea's Korea Football Association said last month it had been informed by the Asian Football Confederation that North Korea will host its Group H game against the South as scheduled.
The game would be the first competitive meeting between the national men's teams in the North Korean capital, although the North hosted the South for a friendly there in 1990.
During qualification for the 2010 World Cup, North Korea chose to host games against South Korea in Shanghai, refusing to hoist the South Korean flag and play the South Korean anthem on its soil.
But South Korea's women's team played in Pyongyang in an Asian Cup qualifier in 2017, and North Korean TV broadcast an edited version of the game days later.

In Saturday's Grade III $400,000 Gotham Stakes, the son of Tapit will have a chance to show that as fiery as his talents are, he is still capable of harnessing them in a productive manner.
Redemption may be too strong a word to use on a horse with one blemish on his résumé but it is safe to say Hansen has something to prove when he breaks from post No. 12 against a dozen others in the 11⁄16-mile Gotham at Aqueduct.
Thirteen days after he was named the 2011 champion 2-year-old male following a 3-for-3 campaign that culminated with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Hansen's reputation took a hit when he finished second, beaten five lengths by Algorithms in the 1-mile Holy Bull.
It wasn't so much that he lost but how Hansen was defeated that caused skeptics to surface. Though his front-running ability barely allowed him to be headed during his juvenile year, the stunning gray colt failed to relax in the Holy Bull after stumbling at the start and gave way with little resistance to Algorithms.
Since changing Hansen's style is pretty futile, trainer Mike Maker has taken the blinkers off him for the Gotham and given him targets in his morning works in hopes he will be less eager this time out.
"First of all, I feel like I'm lucky to have had a wagon that people were actually on that they were able to jump off," laughed Dr. Hansen, who bred and co-owns the colt along with Sky Chai Racing. "But Mike has been around three Derby horses (as an assistant) closely and he has no question this is a Derby distance horse.
"Since the Breeders' Cup, I count four workouts where Mike's either dropped a horse in front of (Hansen) or he's just caught up to horses ... so he's fine with just tracking. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind if after a quarter mile somebody does come up alongside him and he lets a horse go by for a while ... but you can't plan that somebody might be crazy enough to go out with us."
Though the Grade II Fountain of Youth was initially Hansen's target following the Holy Bull, the Gotham may be a more ideal spot for him to regain his rhythm. Instead of having to face Grade I winner and Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up Union Rags — who galloped off with the Fountain of Youth — Hansen stands as the only graded stakes winner in the Gotham field.
Still, the volume of horses lined up to face Hansen suggest others think he may still be vulnerable.
"He was only beaten a half-length to the juvenile champion in his last race," trainer Kelly Breen said of his Gotham entrant My Adonis, third last time out in the Holy Bull. "We're hoping for another good effort from him."
With rain in the area forecast, Hansen could catch another wet track Saturday as he did in the Holy Bull. While his connections staunchly defend his talents, they concede there should be no need for excuses if Hansen simply acts like his old self.
"He has to finish strong Saturday but if we're on our "A" game, we're not supposed to have a problem," Dr. Hansen said. "But I like that there is a little bit of I-told-you-so type stuff that we'll be able to do. We were the underdog going into the Breeders' Cup and that was perfect, so I don't mind being the underdog to Union Rags again along the way."

AMBASSADOR'S JOURNAL
Monitoring Progress in Southeast Asia
A journey to Malaysia and Indonesia to see how they are faring post-elimination, followed by a trip to India to visit colonies and attend a historic conference.
MALAYSIA, INDONESIA (NOVEMBER 28-DECEMBER 5)
Vice President Jusuf Kalla
Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari
In many countries that have achieved the WHO's target for eliminating leprosy as a public health problem, it is perhaps inevitable that leprosy is slipping down the list of government and health ministry priorities. Yet sustainability requires continued political commitment, otherwise there is a real risk of undoing the good work that has been achieved to date.
Toward the end of last year I visited Malaysia and Indonesia — two countries that achieved elimination at the national level some years ago — to observe the current state of leprosy countermeasures and urge those concerned to continue fighting the disease.
In Malaysia, I visited the province of Sabah, which has a population of 2.86 million, or 11% of Malaysia's total. Nationwide, the leprosy prevalence rate is around 0.3 per 10,000, but in Sabah it is rather higher at 0.44, and there are several areas within the province where much more work needs to be done.
Sabah also has a large floating population of migrant workers from neighboring Indonesia and the Philippines, and in fact some 60% of the leprosy cases in the province are foreigners.
Local health officials I spoke with stressed the importance of early detection and treatment, but said it was even more important to educate the general public about leprosy.I understand there are plans to conduct IEC activities and home visits, and there is talk of giving healthcare workers periodic training about leprosy.
Further, Sabah also has various programs for the distribution and management of MDT supplies, the monitoring of treatment and follow-up, and prevention of subsequent complications. Pursuing these strategies, regions such as Sabah, which have achieved elimination, will be able to sustain the achievement and further decrease the number of patients.
Indonesia achieved elimination in 2000. Since MDT was introduced in the 1980s, some 300,000 people have been cured of leprosy. The current prevalence rate is just under 1 per 10,000. But with a population exceeding 200 million, every year some 20,000 new patients are registered. This means that after India and Brazil, Indonesia has the third-highest number of patients in the world.
However, in Indonesia, the priority diseases are malaria, TB, dengue fever and more recently avian flu. On arrival in Jakarta, I first paid a call on Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari and Vice President Jusuf Kalla, outlining the world situation of leprosy and seeking from them an ongoing commitment to tackling the disease.
Some 30% of Indonesia's leprosy cases are to be found in East Java, where I visited Surabaya and Sulawesi. Located approximately in the middle of the Indonesian archipelago, Sulawesi was once home to a large number of leprosy patients,
In Surabaya, I visited the 93 families living in Babat Jerawat leprosy settlement. The people I met seemed in good heart, and the children ran about wearing big smiles. There might be discrimination outside the settlement, but within it there was a positive spirit and a sense of community. Yet I can't help thinking that had there been an effective IEC strategy in place, there would have been no need for a separate village of persons affected by leprosy at all.
Children at the Babat Jewarat colony in Surubaya
This contrasted with the situation on Bunaken, a beautiful coral island about 45 minutes by boat from Manado in North Sulawesi, where I was encouraged to find persons affected by leprosy living in the community. In a population of some 1,500,11 people are being treated for leprosy, and 12 have been cured. There is no discrimination shown them, and they live and work alongside everyone else. It's an example that I hope will be emulated in other parts of the country
In Makassar, Sulawesi, I visited two institutions that seemed to symbolize different phases of the fight against leprosy. The Daya Leprosy Hospital has 220 beds but almost three-quarters of them are empty. Now that MDT is readily available, I feel there is no longer a need for a specialist hospital such as this today.
The National Leprosy Training Center, by contrast, has an important role to play in improving the quality of services. To date, some 3,000 leprosy officers, 1,500 doctors and 1,000 medical students have received training here. By nurturing human resources and acting as a national knowledge base on leprosy, I'm sure it has a key role to play in sustaining Indonesia's fight against the disease.

INDIA (DECEMBER 14-19)
According to 2004 statistics published by the WHO, 64% of the world's leprosy patients are to be found in India. While the actual number of cases has come down dramatically, those affected by the disease still face severe social discrimination, and might be considered a "leprosy caste." For at least some of these people, shunned by family and friends, their home becomes a self-settled colony.
At the start of 2005 I proposed that a survey be carried out of all such colonies, and that a conference of colony leaders be held. By the time this conference took place in December, the results indicated there were 630 colonies across the 23 states and union provinces surveyed so far. While many residents survive by begging, some are engaged in enterprises such as weaving, carpentry and small-scale manufacturing as a means to make a living.
I visited several such colonies, in the Delhi area and in the state of Rajasthan, during my seventh and final visit of 2005 to India last December.
I went first to Satya Jeevan leprosy colony located at Lajput Nagar in Delhi. Once it consisted of tents pitched along the side of the road, but now the colony residents live in brick buildings. Eighty households made up of 230 people live here. While the majority of them survive on begging, in recent times the number of people making a living by selling water to passers-by or working as rickshaw drivers has been increasing.
It was here I met a 14-year-old girl, both of whose parents once had leprosy. Previously she had attended school in the area, but when it came out that her parents had had leprosy, she was bullied by her classmates and eventually had to leave. She hasn't been to school for more than a year, but fervently wishes to return to her studies. There were other children in a similar situation, and I promised to assist in building a school at the colony.
Next I visited another colony, Bharat Mata Kusht Ashram, in Haryana state. Established in 1973, it is home to some 300 people today.What is special about this colony is that the residents have formed a cooperative association and have built the economic foundations of a community that doesn't rest on begging.
Over 120 residents are engaged in weaving and other occupations, and donate a portion of the profits to the cooperative. This money is used to purchase feed for the chickens and cows the colony keeps; to pay for doctors to come and visit; and to help support those with severe disabilities.
The following day I flew to Jaipur in Rajasthan. Jaipur is the founding place of the NGO known as Sarthak Manav Kushthashram(SMK), an organization set up by well-to-do ladies some 30 years ago to help persons affected by leprosy achieve self-reliance.
The colony that is the focal point of their activities is located near a Hindu temple and is home to 30 families totaling 80 persons who once had leprosy, and their children. Many colonies in India are located close to temples, and residents look to receive alms from worshippers, although they are not allowed into the temple themselves.
At this particular colony, the residents make a living from weaving and making hand-printed cloths. They also manufacture order-made shoes free of charge for people cured of diseases coming from many parts of the state.
The colony has established good connections with a European NGO, which directly purchases large quantities of the woven products it makes. As with Bharat Mata Kusht Ashram, a portion of the sales price goes toward food, electricity, medicine and other necessities for the community, and supports those who are unable to work. What is left over counts as each individual's income, and I heard that some of them are remitting money to help far-off family members.
The next day, I drove three hours south of Jaipur to Ajmer, a popular pilgrimage center for both Hindus and Muslims. Halfway along the pilgrimage route is a deprived area with a history of more than 100 years. Here some 3,000 people live, of whom approximately 2% have leprosy or once had the disease.
Many people move here in order to solicit alms from pilgrims. In contrast to the two colonies I visited earlier on this trip, here most of the residents survive by begging. Although there have been a number of projects designed to help them become economically independent, these have mostly ended in failure because the idea of living on handouts is firmly entrenched.
On the other hand, the colony is progressive in the sense that persons affected by leprosy live alongside other members, their children go to local schools and there is no discrimination in marriage.
Any success will ultimately depend on the outlook of persons affected themselves.
Although the prevalence rate of Rajasthan is 0.31 per 10,000 population, the problem of discrimination remains, and further efforts will be needed to sustain what has been achieved. Ensuring that correct information about leprosy is properly disseminated is an important part of these efforts.
Further, while there are colony residents that are becoming economically self-reliant, there are others for whom begging remains the routine form of survival. And even those who are successful are often successful only within the confines of a colony.
To change the situation, I will continue to work with governments, the WHO, NGOs, the media, and business organizations to inform, educate and communicate with people about leprosy.
But any success ultimately will depend on the efforts and outlook of persons affected by leprosy themselves. Hence the most important event of this visit was the first-ever national conference of persons affected by leprosy, held in Delhi on December 19, and reported in more detail elsewhere on these pages. The conference was a great success, and issued the Delhi Declaration of Dignity, which will serve as a blueprint for the way ahead for a society without discrimination against persons affected by leprosy. I intend to give this movement my full support.
Residents of a Delhi colony gather for a meeting.
Leprosy LEXICON
● Treatment completion rate (cure rate)
Ensuring that all new patients who start multidrug therapy complete the full course of treatment within a reasonable period of time is an important component of leprosy control. Treatment completion means that a patient with paucibacilliary leprosy completes 6 monthly doses within a 9-month period, and a patient with multibacilliary leprosy completes 12 doses within 18 months. Treatment completion rate can be used in the field as a proxy for cure rate, which require an additional examination.

Marvel's iconic Black Panther film introduced us to some of our now-favorite characters including Shuri, Okoye, and M'Baku. It opened doors for many of the actors and actresses within the film, but there was one actor in particular that almost lost his role in Jordan Peee's Us due to his character in the Marvel film.
Winston Duke surprised many as his Black Panther character M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe.
But it was his tough guy warrior-vibe that almost cost him his role in the upcoming horror film, Us.
According to CinemaBlend, director Jordan Peele first believed Duke might have been TOO tough for the part.
Duke and Lupita Nyong'o play a husband a wife duo in the upcoming horror film that take their children on a vacation gone terribly wrong.
They're soon stalked by some super creepy strangers, who just so happen to look exactly like him.
Peele was hesitant on casting Duke for the role, afraid that the audience would not feel fearful for the family if they had M'Baku on their side.
Fortunately, Peele was won over by Duke's charisma which ultimately ended up snagging him the role.
A role which Duke was very thankful for.
Us is slated to hit theaters on March 22, and after snagging Peele his second 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, we can't wait to see what this one is all about!
Check out Duke in the official movie trailer, below.

Barco's AI melanoma scanner ready for market
Collin Arocho
Following the success of its initial commercial test-phase, imaging specialist Barco is ready to bring Demetra, its AI skin-imaging solution to the global market. The system, which received its CE marking early last year, had a successful pilot roll-out in Germany and Belgium. Now, after clearing FDA approval last December, the Belgian company is looking to release its award winning imaging system to a broader audience in 2020 – particularly in the US.
The Demetra solution combines innovative AI functionalities with a design that allows dermatologists to take dermoscopic and clinical images. The platform is designed to make mapping, follow-up and comparison of skin lesions smoother and smarter. The integrated blend of advanced hardware and software technology is offered to dermatologists as a service with a monthly fee payment structure and offers quarterly downloadable software updates for users. Currently, there are roughly 100 pilot users with the number of scans rapidly approaching 10,000.
"Our scientists have worked for years already, in close collaboration with dermatologists, on AI algorithms that have the potential to change how screening, diagnosis and follow-up of skin cancer is being done," says Tom Kimpe, Vice President Technology and Innovation at Barco. "Several advanced functionalities have reached the point where they can leave the lab environment and are ready to be integrated in our solution. For Demetra, our 2020 efforts will be focused on further expanding our user-base, moving into new regions, but also on adding exciting new clinical and workflow-functionalities to the solution."

Half of New York Overdoses Blamed on Fentanyl
Nearly half of the overdose deaths in New York City since July have been linked to fentanyl, according to a new report that adds to the growing body of evidence that illicit fentanyl is now driving the nation's opioid epidemic – not prescription pain medication.
In an advisory sent to healthcare providers, New York's health department said 47 percent of the city's confirmed overdose deaths since July 1 have involved fentanyl. That compares to 16% of overdoses involving fentanyl in all of 2015. So far this year, 725 people have died from drug overdoses in New York.
"Data suggest that the increased presence of fentanyl is driving the increase in overdose fatalities," the alert said. "While fentanyl is most commonly found in combination with heroin-involved overdose deaths, fentanyl has also been identified in cocaine, benzodiazepine, and opioid analgesic-involved overdose deaths."
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Because of its potency, healthcare providers are being warned that additional doses of naloxone – which reverses the effects of an opioid overdose – may be needed when fentanyl is involved.
Fentanyl is available legally by prescription in patches and lozenges to treat more severe types of acute and chronic pain, but illicitly manufactured fentanyl has become a scourge across the U.S. and Canada, where it is often mixed with heroin and cocaine or used to make counterfeit pain medication.
Unsuspecting buyers, including some pain patients who were unable to get opioid medication legally, often have no idea the drug they're getting from a dealer or friend could contain a lethal dose of fentanyl.
dea image of fentanyl
In addition to New York City, several states in the Northeast and Midwest have reported that fentanyl is now involved in about half of their overdose deaths.
The sharp increase in fentanyl-related deaths has coincided with new restrictions on the prescribing of opioid pain medication. In the past year, the Drug Enforcement Administration has issued two public safety alerts about fentanyl, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has remained relatively quiet about the problem – focusing instead on opioid prescribing guidelines that were released in March of this year.
Those guidelines have led many doctors to reduce doses or stop prescribing opioids altogether, but they have failed to make a dent in the number of Americans dying from overdoses. There have also been anecdotal reports of a rising number of suicides by patients unable to get opioid medication.
"I know five people who have committed suicide from being denied pain medication by doctors after the CDC came out with their ridiculous statements of the 'epidemic' of prescription opioid use," says Nina Stephens, a Colorado woman who suffers from chronic pelvic pain.
"Doctors are so afraid of getting in the middle of this epidemic mess with the FDA that they have decided to stop prescribing opioids to their patients, even those patients who are in desperate chronic pain. We are now treating our patients worse than dogs when it comes to pain."
Stephens says she has to drive 4 hours each month to see a doctor who is still willing to prescribe opioids. A local pain management doctor just 20 minutes away said he would take Stephens off opioids and give her epidural injections instead, which she refused.
"I am truly afraid that soon I will have to drive even farther to find a doctor who will still be willing to prescribe pain pills to me each month or I will have to start looking at the black market. Maybe a veterinarian would be willing to start treating me? No wonder the suicide rate is going up so dramatically!" Stephens wrote in an email to PNN.
Canada's Fentanyl Crisis
Counterfeit fentanyl pills started appearing in British Columbia about two years ago and have since spread throughout Canada. The fentanyl crisis is so severe a two-day conference was held in Calgary this week for healthcare providers and law enforcement. There were 153 deaths associated with fentanyl in Alberta province during the first six months of 2016.
Some attendees want Alberta to declare a public health emergency – as British Columbia did in April. But Alberta's Minister of Justice says the current fentanyl situation doesn't warrant such a declaration.
"None of those powers will assist us in this case but they do give the government a significant ability to violate civil liberties," said Kathleen Ganley. "We think it's important we use those powers that have significant impact on Albertans only where they would be helpful to us."
On display at the conference was an illegal pill press seized by law enforcement that is capable of producing 6,000 fentanyl laced pills per hour.
"Some of the tablets we've been seizing in Calgary have ranged from 4.6 milligrams to 5.6 milligrams per tablet—which is very high obviously, considering a lethal dose is two milligrams," said Calgary police Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta in Calgary Metro.

We would find pure peace and total tranquillity; achieving a kind of freedom that no one living in the 'real world' could even dream of. We would be able to reach out and touch nature, and wake up every morning surrounded by wildlife, the weather, wide expanses of water and breathtaking scenery.
We would never need to be bothered by an angrily ringing phone, an officious letter or the stresses associated with modern-day living – and the tranquillity surrounding us would allow us to take breaths of pure, clean air and hear our hearts' beating in the absolute calm surrounding us.
The seclusion and peace we would find if we could live a million miles from civilisation could be life enhancing…but what's the point of dreaming about such a fantasy, after all there is no way on this earth to get so far away from humanity and find such perfect harmony is there?
Actually, there is a way to reach this nirvana without having to travel a million miles – because in a tiny, tucked away, protected and sheltered western corner of Vancouver Island one man has created a heaven on this earth that's accessible to one very fortunate buyer.
The east coast of Vancouver Island is well known for having the best climate in Canada, of being home to some of the most desirable real estate in the country and for being absolutely surrounded and inhabited by the most awesome wildlife in the world – but its western coastline is lesser-known, less discovered and therefore absolutely protected. The west coast is rugged, home to magnificent mountains and deep glaciated valleys, inlets and fjords and it is home to a very small group of people who have discovered this natural and tranquil playground that's just a stone's throw from civilisation, but which is completely cut off from the ugly stresses of our everyday lives.
Some of the inlets on the west coast are deeper than the ocean until you get at least 10 miles out in to the Pacific, and as a result they are home to sheltering humpback and gray whales, orcas and sea lions, seals and sea otters. And at the end of one of these private and perfect inlets is a real estate opportunity like nothing you will ever have seen.
You will never go hungry!
Sea Otter Island, which forms an occasionally cut off corner of Nuchatlitz Island, is a spectacular natural reserve in one of the most wildlife abundant parts of Canada – where you can commune with sea mammals and bears, with wolves and bald eagles, where you can catch 200lb halibut and 30lb salmon off your back deck, or go five minutes further out and the salmon increase in size up to 40lb. This is an opportunity to buy in to a way of life that is so utterly perfect that it seems almost unreal!
The Sea Otter Island opportunity we're showcasing today is the chance to buy outright or buy in to this paradise. In practical terms it means you can buy a stunning home, a second home site, a large expanse of space or any combination of these items – but in a rather more esoteric sense it means you can buy your escape from the modern world and find your own private, untouched, unmarked, untainted natural landscape and surround yourself with tranquillity, nature and the wilderness.
Sea Otter Island is adjacent to Nuchatlitz Island which is on the western edge of Vancouver Island in Canada. You can access the property via sea plane – either your own or a chartered or scheduled service. However, to access the property from the mainland you can fly from Vancouver or Seattle directly on a sea plane. The easiest way is by flying in to Campbell River on the east side of Vancouver Island and then taking a float plane to Nuchatlitz Island. You can also drive or fly to Campbell River on the more populated east side of Vancouver Island then take a sea plane in.
Driving from Vancouver takes about 8 hours including the last 20 miles you take by boat from the nearest town 20 miles up the inlet to Sea Otter Island. If you drive it is easy because part of the time you are one the Canadian Ferry system which is relaxing.
The property is surrounded by water, woods and wildlife with the views to the west from the living room and kitchen opening out on to the Pacific Ocean between the islands that protect the bay right in front of the house from the wind and the waves. From the back of the property you look out over a large flat grassy back yard that's always warmed by the morning sunshine.
The landscape surrounding the house includes a small and calm bay that dries at low tide so you can hike over to the island right in front of the house. This island is an abandoned Indian Reserve and at low tide you can walk around the Reserve to the sand spit in front where you can meet and embrace the ocean. Your hike can continue around the next stunning island of Chias where you are even closer to the open sea. You are also surrounded by about 60 acres of virgin mature rainforest where many of the trees are up to 10 feet wide! There are many tide pools, giant logs and other treasures awaiting you on the empty beaches.
Sea Otter Island is so named because of all the sea otters that frequent the 0cean in front of the property. They are joined by whales and sea lions, seals and plenty of fish and shellfish. You will never go hungry! Overhead, bald eagles and heron fly whilst in the dense woodland bears and wolves go about their business and take no notice of the few human inhabitants of Nuchatlitz Island.
They say that the west coast of Vancouver Island has much 'more' weather than the east coast, but that if you don't like it you only have to wait an hour or two before it changes!
Generally the climate on Vancouver Island is far more temperate than across mainland Canada, and when it comes to coastal areas such as Sea Otter Island, the inlets protect the property on the land from the harsher sea breezes and storms so that the coastal areas are warmer than the towns. If snow falls it melts away quickly, and in the summer time you can bask in sunshine and enjoy barbeques on the deck.
The house for sale on Sea Otter Island is a beautifully crafted, wooden two-storey structure that provides spacious living areas and plenty of bedrooms. It also includes an outdoor workshop and wood storage area and you have decks all around the home so that you can watch the wildlife, the weather and the sunsets.
Inside the home there are up to three bedrooms with one magnificent master suite on the second floor that enjoys the most stunning, unobstructed views out across the bay to the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen, dining and living areas are open plan and offer amazing space, there is one bathroom and in the summer the home is well vented and cool, whilst in the winter with the vast stove in the living room it is cosy and comforting.
The natural wood used in the construction of the home is left bare inside so you can see the beauty of the timber and the structure, and the attention to detail that went into designing this bespoke home means that the balcony, the decks, the massive windows and beautifully carved handrails contribute to create a high class yet simple rustic retreat.
If you want to live in nature's tranquil playground at Sea Otter Island there are four ways you might be able to access the opportunity.
Firstly you could buy the house site on the other end of Nuchatlitz Island and build your own dream property – buying just the plot will cost you $79,000.
Secondly you have the option of buying a half share in the current house. This would mean you could have use of the current property for half the year, with the current owner retaining use of the property for the remaining weeks. You could choose to purchase the house site and build your own home on the plot whilst living in the main house during the construction phase. Buying half the house will cost you $149,000.
Thirdly you have the option of buying the whole thing! You can own the house, the plot of land, the views and the freedom for $360,000 – which is an incredibly reasonable price to put on paradise.
Finally if you love the idea of Sea Otter Island and you long to make your home there but you have a business to sell, a home to trade in or an idea about how you could barter, negotiate and broker a deal with the vendor, your ideas and offers are welcome.

Love Protects
Most weeks several of you probably pick-up one of these bulletins, follow it during worship, then leave it in the pew, return it to the table by the door, or put it in the recycle bin in Gould Hall. I understand this. Still, I invest time into how I put this bulletin together, trying to choose liturgy, music, and visual art that enhance worship and the passage of Scripture for the day. Sometimes I go online to search for a cover picture. When I do this I usually put in a search for the Scripture on which I intend to preach: which is what I did last week. When I typed in Mark 4:35-41 this picture on the cover came up on my screen, along with a few others. This one caught my attention, though, because in this gospel story I never thought "love protects" was the primary message. I always believed the focus was on the disciples' fear because of their individual and collective lack of faith. So, the picture led me to a closer reading of the text. Listen once again:
The Eternity Brand
Last month I participated in a district event called, "Fresh Expressions." It is a creative and innovative approach to ministry developed in The United Kingdom about twenty years ago. It is the direct and practical consequence of increasing decline in church membership and attendance in combination with increased social isolation among persons and groups in that country. In essence, Fresh Expressions recognizes two things: 1. People are not seeking out churches for traditional worship and membership as in the past. 2. Congregations must find new ways to reach people, especially younger adults, many of whom know nothing or very little about Jesus.
I bought some resource materials at the event and I look forward to discussing them together here at St. Nicholas, because attendance and membership in U.S. churches is no different. Across all denominations and spectrums Christianity is also in a steady decline in this country, during a similar age of increased personal and social isolation. We experience this even in a small town and congregation like ours, where the ebb and flow in attendance varies from 15-35 or so on any given Sunday depending upon competing activities, health, state of mind, or state of belief.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an expanding movie franchise that initially hit the screen in 2014. Vol. 2 appeared just over a year ago (May 5), and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled for release in 2020. In these movies, a team with would-be, semi-impressive superpowers join together to become guardians of the galaxy.
Isaiah and Jesus both provide clues about what/who is the real Guardian of the Galaxy:
This Protector is the ruler of everything, the omni-potentate of innumerable universes filled with galaxies we cannot see, and is more powerful, fearsome and wise than we can imagine. And, based on today's text, this Guardian is holy -- more holy than we can imagine -- and just: justice you see, is essential for holiness.
Babel Fish People?
Have you ever tried to communicate with someone whose language you did not speak, or translate a text into English from a language you barely understand? This can be very frustrating, as I learned years ago when traveling in Turkey. I tried communicating in the commonly understood language of German while there, and it led to a few fascinating misunderstandings!

On this Mother's Day it is good to be reminded to never underestimate the power of table talk.
Adam Bellow wrote a book that approaches this topic in a fresh and surprising way. Called In Praise of Nepotism, it defends the practice of showing favor to your relatives, and it makes the case that many "self-made men" were really nothing of the kind. In fact, they were family-made men, often mother-made men. From Abraham and King David to John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush, the influence of families has been seen and felt in the shaping of generations of leaders.
Disruptive Jesus
It looks like a burger. Cooks like a burger. Tastes like a burger. And even "bleeds" like a burger. But, there is no beef in it.
This burger is made from a plant-based beef alternative, with juices that come from beet juice. The burger is produced by a company called Beyond Meat.
The New Optimists
Future generations will be told about the Lord, and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it. -Psalm 22:30b-31.
When running for president against incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980, Ronald Reagan discovered a question that resonated powerfully on the campaign trail: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Reagan asked it again and again. Many attribute Reagan's resounding election victory to this persistent question.
Augmented Reality in Jesus' Name
How many here have heard of or played Pokemon Go? It is one of the hottest games on smartphones since 2016. Pokémon Go. Players walk the streets like zombies, staring at their phones and hunting for collectible characters. But what they actually looking at?
For starters, they are looking at the world.
Hymns and Methodist Chicken
Facebook has really filled the news this past week as founder and CEO Mark Zukerberg testified before Congress regarding the use and sale of consumer's personal data. I utilize Facebook- I know many of you do. Millions of people in this country, and billions around the world access Facebook every day. Only a few years ago at an Annual Conference I purchased a book on the Bishop's recommended reading list, "Facebook Church."
Believing is Seeing
Preached at Auburndale United Parish
What could be worse than saying, "I don't believe in you?"
Introduction: Thank you for inviting me back to Auburndale to share this important day with you, celebrating 18 years of your decision to becoming a welcoming and reconciling congregation. The last time I preached here and shared worship with you was soon after Deborah and I moved to Massachusetts from Oregon. I think it was 2014, and you were celebrating an important day for this congregation then as well. Then, like today, you were re-affirming your commitment as a Welcoming and Reconciling congregation. You were also celebrating the Confirmation of several young people that Sunday. The energy and joy in the sanctuary was palpable. I remember talking with you then about your hopes for those young Confirmands, and how these related to our hopes and prayers for the wholeness and well-being of all God's children. On that day we especially included transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual and intersex people in those hopes and prayers. My theme that morning was the parable of the Good Samaritan and what it means to be authentic good neighbors. We ended the message by singing the well-known refrain from Mr. Roger's song, "Won't You be My Neighbor."
