The objective of this study was to know the magnitude of potential spreading of HIV from the Intravenous Drug Users (IDUs) to the general population. This study analyzed secondary data from the Behavioral Surveillance Survey in Jakarta year 2000 conducted by the Center for Health Research,University of Indonesia. The method of computation was based on the concept of probability. The HIV could spread to the general population if the IDUs have had sexual act without using condoms. The result of the study showed that potential spreading of HIV from the IDUs to the general population was very high. A total of 27,300 IDUs in DKI Jakarta (year 2000) will produce 1.062—3.368 HIV new cases per year, or equivalent with 389 – 1.245 HIV new cases per year per 10.000 IDUs. To minimize the potential spreading, it is suggested to conduct some strategies e.g. using sterile syringes, detoxification, education information and communication about harmful effects of drugs and AIDS, reducing and localizing the distribution of drugs, campaign of condom use, increasing of community participation to prevent illegal drug use and well coming without any discrimination ex-IDUs who has been recovered.

Multiple days of severe weather on tap for the Plains » Yale Climate Connections
One of the most potent autumn severe-weather episodes in years was taking shape on Sunday over Oklahoma and north Texas, where residents were bracing for a localized but intense round of tornadic supercell thunderstorms. A much larger part of the southern and central Great Plains will experience another round of severe weather late Tuesday, with widespread damaging winds possible.
As of midday Sunday, a moderate risk of severe weather extended across much of southern and central Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City, according to the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. Despite its mild tone, a "moderate" risk is the second highest of the center's five risk categories, behind only "high." Moderate-risk areas are not uncommon in spring, but they're less frequent during autumn, when the annual "second season" of severe weather is typically more spotty than the springtime peak. This is the center's first moderate risk issued in October for any part of the nation since 2014.
Figure 1. Severe weather outlook for Sunday, October 10, updated at 11:16 a.m. CDT. (Image credit: NOAA/NWS/SPC)
This week's May-like setup for severe weather will be triggered by a large upper-level trough of low pressure across the western United States. One packet of upper-level energy will rotate around the trough and across Oklahoma on Sunday evening, with very warm and moist low-level air streaming into the state. The result will be a fast-evolving set-up just ahead of a cold front and dryline, with highly unstable air and strong vertical wind shear (winds shifting and strengthening with height).
One or more rotating, long-lived supercell thunderstorms can be expected to form in southwest Oklahoma and race east-northeast by late Sunday afternoon, potentially affecting much of the Interstate 35 corridor between Oklahoma City and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The Storm Prediction Center said any of these storms could produce one or more strong tornadoes – defined as at least EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (top winds of 113-157 mph). Hail larger than golf-ball size (2 inches in diameter) is also a distinct possibility with these supercells.
High-resolution forecast models began flagging Sunday's risk of tornadic storms on Friday, and subsequent runs have boosted confidence in the outlook.
Figure 2. Severe weather outlook issued early Sunday, October 10, for Tuesday, October 12. (Image credit: NOAA/NWS/SPC)
Another round of severe weather expected on Tuesday
A larger push of energy will swing through the upper-level trough into the Plains by late Tuesday, leading to a broader area of intense storms. An enhanced risk of severe weather (third highest level) is already in place for Tuesday from northwest Oklahoma to southern Nebraska.
The stronger upper-level forcing on Tuesday versus Sunday will likely favor an overnight squall line, as opposed to distinct rotating supercell storms. However, widespread severe wind gusts are expected, and a few tornadoes will still be possible.
Figure 3. Tornado reports for 2021 through October 9 (thick red line) are running well below the year-to-date average (thick black line) for the past 17 years. The total so far of 1013 reports is nearly 20% below the average to date of 1243 reports. (Image credit: NOAA/NWS/SPC)
Tropical Depression 16-E a dangerous threat to Mexico
Tropical Depression 16-E, formed in the warm waters off the Pacific coast of Mexico at 5 a.m. EDT Sunday, appears destined to become a dangerous landfalling hurricane for Mexico by mid-week. The next name of the Eastern Pacific list of storms is Pamela.
Figure 4. Infrared image of TD 16-E at 1650Z (12:50 p.m. EDT) Sunday, October 10, 2021. (Image credit: RAMMB/CIRA/CSU)
At 11 a.m. EDT Sunday, TD 16-E was about 590 miles south of Mazatlan, Mexico. The depression was headed west-northwest at 18 mph, with top winds of 35 mph and a central pressure of 1006 mb. Conditions were favorable for development, with light wind shear near 10 knots, a moist atmosphere, and very warm waters near 30 Celsius (86°F). These favorable conditions likely will persist through Tuesday, when TD 16-E is expected to be a hurricane recurving to the northeast just south of the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. It currently appears that the core of the storm will pass to the south of Baja, but in its 11 a.m. EDT Sunday wind probability forecast, the National Hurricane Center gave San Jose del Cabo a 15% chance of receiving hurricane-force winds, and a 67% chance of tropical storm-force winds.
Seeing some general consistency between the GEFS and EPS on the track of TD16E as it likely strengthens and turns NE towards Mexico. Euro/EPS still seems a little too weak probably, but we'll see how quickly the system gets organized. pic.twitter.com/YUcAN7buxp
— Andy Hazelton (@AndyHazelton) October 10, 2021
As TD 16-E approaches the coast of mainland Mexico on Wednesday, the waters beneath it will warm to a scorching 31 degrees Celsius (88°F) – over one degree Celsius above average. This ocean warmth is due, in large part, to an exceptional heat wave that has brought near-record heat to western Mexico in recent weeks. Warm water along TD 16-E's path extends to a substantial depth, with a total ocean heat content in excess of 100 kilojoules per square centimeter, a value commonly associated with rapid intensification of hurricanes.
Although this hot water will favor intensification, TD 16-E will be wrapping a substantial amount of dry air off the deserts of Mexico into its circulation on Wednesday, and there may be enough wind shear present to allow this dry air to penetrate the core of the storm and weaken it. Many of the top intensity models show TD 16-E intensifying to a category 2 or 3 hurricane, and category 4 strength is not out of the question. TD 16-E is predicted to make landfall Wednesday night on the coast of Jalisco or Nayarit states, within 100 miles of Mazatlan.
Low pressure system 92L bringing heavy rains to North Carolina
A large low-pressure system centered just south of North Carolina's Outer Banks was bringing heavy rain to much of coastal North Carolina on Sunday afternoon, as seen on radar images. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft investigating the low, designated 92L. on Sunday morning found top surface winds near 35 mph and a well-organized surface circulation with a central pressure of 1005 mb. However, there was not enough heavy thunderstorm activity near the center of 92L for it to get a name, and it remains unclear if this will eventually become Subtropical Storm Wanda.
92L is expected to move slowly north-northeastward toward the coast of North Carolina through Monday morning, then head northeastward, out to sea, on Monday. Wind shear will remain high, near 20 knots, over the next two days, slowing any development. In its 2 p.m. EDT Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 92L 2-day and 5-day odds of development of 20%.
Figure 5. GeoColor image of 92L at 1740Z (1:40 p.m. EDT) Sunday, October 10, 2021. (Image credit: RAMMB/CIRA/CSU)
Disturbance 93L in tropical Atlantic headed toward the Lesser Antilles
A tropical disturbance located near 10°N, 50°W, at 8 a.m. EDT Sunday, was headed northwest at 10-15 mph. This system, designated 93L, had favorable conditions for development, with moderate wind shear of 10-15 knots, a moist atmosphere, and warm waters near 29 Celsius (84°F). Satellite images on Sunday afternoon showed 93L had developed considerable rotation at mid-levels of the atmosphere, but no surface circulation was evident. The system had few heavy thunderstorms.
93L is headed into an area of high wind shear, which should begin tearing up the system by Monday morning. By Tuesday, when 93L will be nearing the Leeward Islands, steering currents are predicted to collapse, resulting in a very slow and erratic motion of less than 5 mph. High wind shear of more than 20 knots will continue to tear at the system on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 93L has little model support for development. In its 2 p.m. EDT Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 93L 2-day odds of development of 20% and 5-day odds of 30%.

COMMITTEE CHOOSES SIX SEMIFINALISTS FOR NICHOLLS PRESIDENCY
Published on October 25, 2017 under 2017 / Homepage Features / News / Nicholls / Nicholls Search 2017
The Nicholls State University Presidential Search Committee selected six semifinalists to interview next month for the school's top post.
The semifinalists are:
Jay Clune, Interim Dean, University of West Florida
Eugene Dial, Vice President for Student Affairs and Associate Professor of Education, Nicholls State University
John Doucet, College of Arts and Sciences Dean, Nicholls State University
Marcheta Evans, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Our Lady of the Lake University
Shawn Mauldin, Director and Professor of Accounting, Mississippi State University
Wade Rousse, Executive in Residence, Northern Arizona University
"It was a tremendous challenge to narrow a field of 15 talented candidates to six but I am confident the Committee chose the right group to move forward in the process," UL System President and CEO Jim Henderson said. "At the end of this process, Nicholls State will have a strong leader who will work with faculty, staff, and stakeholders to meet the needs of the bayou region."
Candidates will sit for public interviews on Nicholls' campus in early November to select finalists who will interview with the UL System Board Nov. 14.
"We have an impressive pool of semifinalists and I am excited to welcome them to campus next month," Nicholls Student Government Association President Tommy Thibodeaux said. "I encourage students on campus to get involved in the process."
UL System staff will release a detailed interview schedule when it is finalized. In addition to public interviews, candidates will meet with Nicholls faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members.
"I'm very impressed with the Committee's due diligence in identifying the best candidates for Nicholls State University," UL System Board Chair Alejandro "Al" Perkins said. "We have a good group of people who are committed to doing the best job for Nicholls."
Chairing Nicholls State University's search committee is UL System President and CEO Jim Henderson as a nonvoting member. Voting members include Nicholls Faculty Senate President David Whitney and UL System Board Members James Carter, Beau Martin, Shawn Murphy, Al Perkins, Elizabeth Pierre, Mark Romero, Winfred Sibille and Student Board Member Ben Rice. Nonvoting members are Nicholls SGA President Tommy Thibodeaux, Nicholls Foundation President Chris Riviere, Nicholls Alumni Association President Paula Arcement Rome and community representatives including Kirt Chouest, Bishop Shelton Fabre, Alice Pecoraro and Donny Rouse.
Last month Nicholls President Bruce T. Murphy announced his intentions to transition from the university's top post by the end of the year. Information regarding the search will be posted on ULSystem.edu/NichollsSearch as it becomes available.

Interesting unknown places in South Korea: Liancourt Rocks, Tapsa Temple, Naganeupseong Folk Village
Liancourt Rocks
The Liancourt Rocks which are commonly referred to as Solitary Island are a gathering of islets in the Sea and are controlled by South Korea. They are for the most part rough with an aggregate area zone of only 0.18 square kilometers. The islands may have been initially vanquished by Korea as long back as the sixth century, however Japan guarantees this was an alternate island, or even a non-existent one. Korea formally asserted the stones in 1900, with Japan doing likewise five years after the fact. The stones have been known by different names throughout the years, further obfuscating the issue of power. The English name originates from Le Liancourt, a French whaling ship that about smashed on the island in 1849.
There are presently just two lasting inhabitants on the island, Korean nationals Kim Seong Do, an octopus rancher, and spouse Kim Shin Yeol. They are helped by different bolster staff including 37 policemen and three beacon managers. The island was untouchable to voyagers for a long time, however now more than 100,000 travelers visit the island consistently. There was even a wedding on the islands in 2005.
On February 22, 2005, Japan's Shimane prefecture reported a "Takeshima Day" to praise 100 years of the addition of the islands. Such an activity brought on anger in Korea, where the memory of the merciless Japanese occupation still waits. And additionally the previously stated self-mutilation and immolation, Koreans challenged their resentment by beheading birds outside the Japanese Embassy. The issue is not one prone to be determined soon, but rather South Korea can depend on backing from an improbable source. In an uncommon and surprising move, match North Korea has bolstered South Korea's case to the islands.
Tapsa Temple
The distinction between having a solitary creative vision and over the top craziness can be entirely restricted. Straddling the line is Buddhist recluse Yi Gap Yong. Yong made 120 stone pagodas beneath the Horse Ear Mountains in South Korea. Also, he did as such with no apparatuses, mortar or assistance from his companions. Yong went to the range to contemplate in 1885 when he was just 25 years of age. When he initially arrived, it was a quiet scene, however was not yet a sanctuary, and he was not yet an appointed friar. Absence of formal preparing did little to back off his work, and throughout the following 30 years he constructed the pagodas while living alone as a recluse.
Made out of circles of bigger rocks, the pagodas inevitably go to a point, giving them their funnel shaped crest. All made exclusively of neighborhood rocks from streams and waterways, a portion of the biggest pagodas tower 30 feet over whatever is left of the sanctuary complex. Yong passed on in 1957 about 100 years of age. Today, more than 80 of the pagodas remain and have been safeguarded for visitors. A white statue close to the sanctuary delineates the maker of the perplexing, Yi Gap Yong, so he can watch over his noteworthy statues until the end of time.
Naganeupseong Folk Village
Naganeupseong is home to more than two hundred Koreans who still experience their day by day lives much the same as Koreans did amid the stature of the Joseon Dynasty. This little town in the eastern spans of Jeollanam-do, close Suncheon narrows, is viewed as the best safeguarded case of a Korean post town. As per records continued amid the Joseon tradition there were more than 330 of these post towns around the Korean promontory. Amid the Japanese occupation, a large portion of them were crushed or disassembled. Be that as it may, Naganeupseong, alongside its occupants, remains about untouched, the town turning into an UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011. The site of the town has really been possessed subsequent to the start of the main centuries, the range was chosen as a post town in the mid tenth century by the Goryeo Dynasty however started to genuinely thrive in the late 1300s under the Joseons.
231 of the houses in Naganeupseong are still in their unique condition, with thatched rooftops, mortar free stone work, no pipes, and living spaces that would be viewed as somewhat cramped by today's Western measures. Among the general population going about their old renditions of day by day lives are a sprinkling visitors overcome enough to make the drive or take the civil transport. Around the town are various and indiscriminate dioramas of recorded Korean life in the town; including hands on customary diversions of ability and papier-mâché-like models of flogging and managerial procedures. The odd polarity of purchasing a cool jug of water from a blessing shop and after that peering into somebody's living "room" is a bit of unsettling.
Different locales in the town incorporate an extensive lotus lake, post dividers and some very much protected unique houses with nobody living in them that permit guests to venture inside. Past just meandering around as a voyeur the town offers numerous exercises to take an interest in at exceptional times for the duration of the day and year. Conventional workmanship, weaving, coloring and music encounters are all accessible. There are additionally standard exhibitions of customary music and moving. There is even a lesson in customary Korean tea service manners or riding in a dalguji.
The Naganeupseong Folk Village is an extraordinary reason to gaze at individuals or appreciate the Confucian philosophy of concordance with nature present in the course of action of the town and the design in that. Time travel back 600 years in Korea or have a giggle attempting on conventional Korean garments. At any rate you take a gander at this place, it's out of the way.

What Is a Binary Acid?
Hydrochloric acid is an example of a binary acid. ollaweila, Getty Images
A binary acid is a binary compound where one element is hydrogen and the other is a nonmetal. Binary acids are also known as hydracids.
Binary Acid Examples
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), and hydroiodic acid (HI) are all binary acids. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a binary acid. Even though a hydrogen sulfide molecule consists of three atoms, there are only two elements. One is hydrogen, while sulfur is a nonmetal.

As the Webmaster for a site dedicated to helping people save money when they go to the dentist, I find myself having to consistently fight two different and distinct battles: one against the average American's reluctance to pay the high cost of modern dental care and the other is the same American's belief that seeing a dentist regularly just isn't that important.
How about this: "Did you know that your next visit to the dentist could prevent a heart attack?"
Medical researchers have known for years now that there's a definite link between gum disease (i.e. gingivitis) and persons' risk for heart disease (see http://discountdental4u.net/gumdisease.htm). Evidence is mounting, however, that information gleaned from a routine panoramic dental X-ray's wide-angle frontal images -- taken to establish the baseline condition of teeth and surrounding bone -- may serve as an accurate early-warning system of risk of dying from heart attack or stroke.

UConn tops Rutgers 28-17, wins second straight
Casey Cochran led the Huskies with a masterful performance, completing 25 of 33 passes for over 300 yards and two touchdowns.
By Andrew Callahan Nov 30, 2013, 4:25pm EST
Share All sharing options for: UConn tops Rutgers 28-17, wins second straight
EAST HARTFORD -- On a chilly New England afternoon, no. 12 completed 25 of his 33 passes for 311 yards and a pair of touchdowns, as his team completed a hard fought win.
It's a story that has been told in the region ad nauseam.
But this time, no. 12's name was not Tom Brady.
His name was Casey Cochran, and the Connecticut native led UConn (2-9, 2-5) over Rutgers 28-17 for the Huskies' second win of the season at Rentschler Field. Deshon Foxx hauled in nine balls for 117 yards during a career day that included a 40-yard reception, which led to the gamewinning touchdown. The Huskies did not turn the ball over once, while they forced the Scarlet Knights into two interceptions and a fumble.
"All year it has almost been there," Cochran said. "Everyone has seen that but today it was just there for us, no doubt about that. On every side of the ball, we just performed well and clicked on every play. We all knew what we had to do and we went out there and did it."
Max DeLorenzo punched in the score that put UConn ahead for good, 21-17, only moments into the fourth quarter. It was his second touchdown of the game, which notched the first-ever multi-score performance of his career. Overall, the redshirt sophomore ran for 52 yards on 13 carries.
Moments after DeLorenzo's score, Andrew Adams revived what ought to have been a Rutgers three-and-out with a critical pass interference penalty on third down. The infraction allowed Scarlet Knight quarterback Chas Dodd then to keep his unit on the move towards midfield, using both his arms and his legs.
However, working from his own 48-yardline, Dodd mistakenly fired directly at a fallen Taylor Mack, who lay on the turf three yards away from his intended target. Mack scooped the ball successfully, but had to wait for replay to confirm the original call of interception on the field. After a lengthy delay, the Huskies maintained possession and had a chance to finish off their closest rivals with eight minutes to go.
"The defense came together," said head coach T.J. Weist. "Taylor Mack obviously had two interceptions at key times and we got turnovers. That's how you're supposed to play football. That's how you're supposed to play Husky football."
Cochran followed Mack's pick with a 12-play, 56-yard drive that delivered the proverbial dagger. The youngster was masterful, chewing up five minutes on the clock and completing a nifty third down pass to DeLorenzo to move the chains. The series concluded with a three-yard touchdown toss to a diving Brian Lemelle in the corner of the end zone.
Cochran completed passes to six different receivers, including five who caught multiple balls. Foxx, Lemelle and Geremy Davis each collected at least five catches, as Davis finished two yards shy of a 100-yard game. Freshman wideout Dhameer Bradley recorded his first career start in place of the injured Shakim Phillips and promptly made his presence felt with an 18-yard touchdown reception.
Bradley's score capped UConn's first series of the game, which was quickly followed by additional Husky points. On the ensuing kickoff return, Martin Hyppolite forced the ball out from Quron Pratt and into the waiting arms of teammate Brandon Steg. Five plays later, DeLorenzo found his way into end zone from 12 yards away to give his team a 14-7 lead.
To open the game, Rutgers scored quickly, after propelling themselves to the UConn 10-yardline via a pair of third and long conversions. Inside the red zone, Dodd fired incomplete to his fullback Michael Burton on a short third down to bring on the kicking team.
However, after aligning in a traditional field goal formation, the Scarlet Knights broke into three separate clusters along the line of scrimmage. As soon as they had set, holder and back-up defensive back J.T. Tartacoff took the snap, faked a pass right and lofted a throw over the middle to tight end Tyler Kroft.
Kroft ripped the ball out from the clutches Husky safety Obi Melifonwu, who nearly claimed an interception, and fell to the turf for six points. Rutgers led for only three minutes and 40 seconds until Bradley's score and just under seven minutes total for the entire game.
"I know Coach Weist has been great with us and getting us to finish and win and over the past six quarters, we have been doing just that," DeLorenzo said. "Now we have to continue doing that in our last game next week and build for this team's success in the future."
The Huskies will take to the gridiron for the final time next Saturday in their season finale, a 1 p.m. home game against Memphis. Tickets are still available.

The "Bullies" →
Player Profile: Marvin Williams
If the NBA season ended today, the Atlanta Hawks (18-21) would make the playoffs for the first time since the 1998-99 season. Now, obviously, this speaks more to the inadequacy of the Eastern Conference beyond its top 2-3 teams than anything else, but the Hawks still deserve credit for at least partially emerging from the hole they've dug for themselves ever since trading Steve Smith to Portland for Isaiah Rider way back in 1999. One of the biggest reasons for Atlanta's improvement has been the emergence of third-year forward Marvin Williams, who is finally cashing in on the promise he showed when Atlanta drafted him 2nd overall in the 2005 NBA Draft. Last night, Williams scored a career-high 33 points in a win over Seattle, and he has been one of the Hawks' catalysts all season long. Today we're going to look at Williams game, and highlight the improvements Williams has made to turn from a draft bust to one of the better young forwards in the game.
Physical Tools: Williams has never lacked in this area — he's 6-9 with good quickness and leaping ability. If anything, the knock on him has been that he lacks strength, but he's improved that in recent years, and the Hawks have also been masking this problem by having him check fewer power forwards than they did a year ago.
Offense: This is where Williams has improved markedly in 2007-08. First, the stats: (glossary)
Season         Age     Tm     ORtg    %Pos    DRtg
2005-06     19    ATL     108.5    16.5    111.7
2007-08        21    ATL    113.1    20.4    106.0
In his rookie year, Williams was not asked to take a big role in the offense and responded with a decent level of efficiency, but when forced to make more plays in his second year, he looked pretty lost out there. This year, though, Williams has made a quantum leap, increasing his offensive role and posting a big leap in efficiency, making him one of the most improved players in the league so far this season.
How has he done it? Well, mainly he's been more assertive in going to the basket. He's settling for fewer jumpers, attacking the rim more (his dunks are up as well), and finishing much better inside. Williams' ballhandling has never been a major strength, but he's turning the ball over much less despite having the ball in his hands more frequently. He's also gotten a lot better at taking guys off the dribble, especially when going to his left. As a result, Williams has been drawing fouls at a very high rate and generally feasting at the free throw line, where he's a career 79% shooter. Any time you can attack the basket and either finish strong or draw a foul, you're going to be successful on offense, and that's exactly what Williams is doing more often this year.
Hot Zones:
Defense: Despite his length and athleticism, defense has never been a particular strength for Williams, but you can see his improvement this season when you look at the Hawks' overall defensive performance, as well as how their defense changes when he's off the floor. A few years ago, Atlanta was a laughingstock at that end, but they've quietly become one of the 10 best defenses in the league so far this year. Williams' individual improvement may not be apparent from the raw numbers — aside from a slight increase in his steal rate, his box score defensive stats look identical to that of past seasons — but he's making his biggest impact in ways the box score can't measure. In the past, Williams' presence on the floor made a bad defensive team even worse, but this year a decent Atlanta D has been even better with Williams in the game. Now, many of his minutes have come alongside defensive standout Josh Smith and solid rookie Al Horford, but you can't discount the effect of Williams' defensive improvement on the Hawks, either. He's tall and quick enough to guard multiple positions, and his improved understanding of team defensive concepts has really helped the Hawks become a solid defensive team. Remember, Williams would be a senior in college if he had stayed in school, so it's no surprise that he's just now coming into his own as a player, especially when it comes to the mental aspects of the game.
Williams may never escape the shadow of the man he was drafted over, Chris Paul — especially since Paul is having an MVP-caliber season in 2007-08 — but he has done a good job of adapting to the NBA game in his third year, and is finally on his way to proving worthy of the hype that surrounded him coming out of North Carolina. If the Hawks do end up stopping their playoff drought this year, it will be because Williams has improved so dramatically over the form he showed in his first two seasons.

We had a very exciting time meeting Dylan's reptiles and other pets. We met Colin the corn snake from America. Dylan told us about snakes smelling with their tongues and having no eyelids. Many children held Rosie the Chilean Rose tarantula. Dylan told us that she shakes her abdomen and flicks out hairs when she's scared. Dylan's boa constrictor Stretch was very heavy! Dave the tortoise moved so slowly because of his heavy shell. Kermit, the amazon bull frog, stuck out his tongue and ate a grub. "Go froggy!' Johanna shouted. The children touched Sparky, the bearded dragon, he had scales. Dylan had giant land snails and a blue tongued skink too. Dylan told us that lizards detach their tails when they are attacked so they can escape and then they grow another!


In April this year, we, Tomas Hromjak and myself, combined a regional visit of ALPLA India with a trip to the city of Khandwa in India to introduce the inhabitants to WADI. This system provides a device to access safe drinking water. Together with Helioz, we at ALPLA support Caritas India and the Khandwa Diocesan Social Services (KDSS) in making this water disinfection device available to Korku and Barela tribes in Khandwa. I would like to take you with me on our trip to the village of Indrakheda, where we wanted to raise awareness of the importance of clean drinking water and demonstrate how WADI can help the local People.
Although water is a fundamental resource for human well-being, in many parts of India people have no or only limited access to safe and affordable drinking water. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) in combination with the WADI indicator is designed to enable these people to access safe drinking water more easily through cost-efficient and sustainable solutions. WADI is a solar-powered UV measurement device that visualizes the process of SODIS in PET bottles. It can be placed next to the bottles that are filled with contaminated water and exposed to the sun. Once the process is completed and the water is safe to drink, a smiley face appears on the WADI. The current goal is to disinfect three million litres of water per year, which will benefit about 4,000 people and will also reduce health risks.
The city of Khandwa is located approximately 130 km south-east from Indore, in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Once we arrived there, we were warmly welcomed by Bishop Durajai, the Bishop of the Diocese of Khandwa, who is deeply involved in educational and well-being activities in this area. The ALPLA team, together with representatives from Caritas India, KDSS and Helioz, gathered to start our journey to the village of Indrakheda, which took about one hour.
Indrakheda is a humble settlement created by a Korku tribe. When we arrived, we were met by a celebration and a festive opening ceremony. The local representatives decorated us with floral wreaths and traditional Indian head covers called Pagadi. Once we were wearing the festive attire, we were brought to the meeting point by ox wagons, led by a procession of chanting women and men. At the meeting point we took our places on stage. I gave a short introduction speech to express our gratitude for the warm welcome and emphasised the benefits of good quality water. The whole speech was interpreted into Hindi in order to facilitate understanding.
Afterwards, Gregor Riss from Helioz demonstrated the functionalities of the WADI device in detail. He showed how a few simple steps can turn dirty water into a safe and healthy resource. Eventually, the inhabitants warmed to the idea and came to pick up their own devices. Convincing local people to change their everyday habits and use a new device is a major change. And like every change, this one requires persistence, patience and strong belief in the end result. It is an honour for us at ALPLA to be the face of this charitable activity at this introduction and to be able to contribute to such a good cause.
Christoph has been with ALPLA since 2012. He is the Director of Corporate Strategy, Business Development and Sustainability. At the University of St. Gallen he obtained his PhD where he was also responsible for the research and consulting area logistics and eBusiness. He is passionate about driving change in organizations with a holistic view on systems including goals, processes, actions and motivating people to join in. In his free time you can find Christoph cooking with his family and or skiing in the Alps.

Statement from the Syrian Women's Political Movement On Assassination of Kafranbel Activists Raed Fares and Hammoud Junaid
By: Mona Katoub
reading time: 1 Minute and 45 seconds
On Friday, 23 November, the Syrian community was deeply shocked by news of the assassination of prominent civil activists Raed Fares and his colleague Hammoud Junaid by masked gunmen in their hometown of Kafranbel. The town had become a symbol of the Revolution for freedom and dignity as a result of its banners and caricatures expressing the aspirations of the Syrian people and conveying their voice to the world.
We in the Syrian Women's Political Movement strongly condemn this appalling crime as we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the slain activists and the Syrian people in general. We call on the international community to denounce this heinous crime and to assume moral and political responsibilities with regards to protection of Syrian civilians and prevention of such crimes, which are aimed undermining the fundamental principles of the Syrian Revolution and its goals of freedom, dignity, and rejection of tyranny.
The clampdown and silencing of the free media voices results in a loss not only for the Syrian Revolution, but also for all societies, organizations, and states that respect human rights and seek to promote dialogue instead of the horrific policies of murder and assassinations being pursued by the Assad regime. Extremist forces, mainly ISIS and Al-Nusra Front, have followed suit in these oppressive policies. We urge Syrians and anyone who believes in the Revolution for freedom and dignity to denounce these extremist groups and stand up to them.
The Syrian Women's Political Movement calls upon the international community to assume its responsibility with regards to this despicable crime, which cannot be separated from the crimes and massacres being committed against Syrian civilians by the Assad regime and extremist groups ISIS and Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). It is imperative that mechanisms for justice are established to hold accountable those responsible for the crimes taking place in Syria by all parties.
May our detainees and the forcibly disappeared be free; our fallen heroes rest in peace;
And may our great people emerge victorious.

Q: Why did the Voyager Doctor have to scrub in? In S03E04 episode of Voyager (The swarm) we see the Doctor aka EMH, prepare to operate on Lt Tom Paris. Surprisingly, he seems to be sterilising his hands with a machine that emits a faint red light. Of course that could be for something else, but he explicitly says he's scrubbing

KES: Doctor, I have the cortical analeptics you asked for.
EMH: Good. Fill the hyposprays, we'll begin as soon as I've finished scrubbing.

However we know that the Doctor is a hologram and can at will alter his projection, so he could, for example disable the forcefield momentarily to get rid of the bacteria and then enable it again so as to operate.

Why did he need to scrub in before the operation?

A: The very short answer is that he doesn't need to scrub in. That's literally the point of this scene although I suspect looking at the comments on the internet that this was waaay too subtle for all but the nerdiest of Trek nerds to notice, let alone work out what was going on. Heck, even Kes doesn't notice or her next line would be something like...

Kes: Doctor, why the hell are you scrubbing in when you're a hologram? Kes to Ensign Kim, the EMH is suffering a malfunction and is about to do surgery!!

We learn later in the episode that the EMH is malfunctioning as a result of his ill-advised attempts to integrate new information into his program and its inevitable degradation. In a later scene we see an even more clear indication that he's forgotten that he's a hologram and the limitations (and indeed benefits) that come with his photonic and force field-based nature.

EMH: I fail to understand why I can't leave this room. Stand aside, young woman, or I will have you put on report!
KES: Doctor, please, I'm just trying to keep you safe.
EMH: Others can leave, you can leave. Why can't I leave?
KES: Because your holoprojectors don't work in the corridor.
EMH: My what?
Voy: The Swarm

Kangana Ranaut vs Hrithik Roshan: Actress Says 'he Can Never be Where I am' Commenting on The Controversy
Kangana Ranaut says she doesn't understand how is what Hrithik claiming even justified
Published: March 3, 2019 10:40 AM IST

Actress Kangana Ranaut once again talked about her infamous legal battle with actor Hrithik Roshan. She was present at a recently held conclave and Kangana minced no words in giving a straight answer to a question related to Hrithik. When asked whether she would like to switch her place with the actor, she was quick to mention that she doesn't think Hrithik will ever achieve what she has.
She said, "He will never be where I am." Kangana also mentioned her shock over how the case has unfolded from the actor's side. She said she has worked with him in two films and he has even denied knowing her, which is something she hasn't been able to understand. Kangana said, "Talking about this so-called case which never actually happened, here's a person I have worked within two films. He is completely denying even knowing me and getting away with it. How does that even happen?"
The actress, who was recently seen in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, had alleged that Hrithik dated her, however, the latter refused to believe the claims saying he would 'rather be in a relationship with the pope' than her.

Kangana had been the favourite child of controversy in the Bollywood's grapevine due to her habit of being vocal on issues. Recently, she also talked about the cowardly Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF troopers got martyred on February 14. Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed took the responsibility of the attack. Reacting to the same, Kangana said that 'Pakistan ban is not the solution, Pakistan destruction is'. The statement received criticism from those vying for peace between the two nations.
Talking at the same conclave, Kangana clarified her stance on the statement made. She called it an expression of 'instinctive sentiment.' She said, "I think it was very sort of instinctive sentiment that we all felt that time when we were faced with that type of shocking incident. It was possibly the most brutal and most inhuman in centuries, it will always be a deep scar, wound in our conscience."

Yesterday, a four-year-old instructed me on the importance of feeding the heifers each day.
He, of course, was completely right. He watched with self-assurance as we went about unloading a trailer of round bales in preparation to feed the heifers. Our conversation around ranch management practices didn't strike me as unusual but rather, I enjoyed that he felt comfortable that his contribution was equal to that of my own. He wasn't wrong. After all, the tractor copilot is a critical role in ag. Kids add a lot of useful liveliness to a ranch.
Ranching often comes down to comparing what is possible with the resources available. The sun only grows grass so fast, and each season optimism hinges on the water released from snow on faraway mountain peaks. While each spring entertains an array of possibilities, fall can be sobering and humbling. But, each experience grows us a minute more, and we condition ourselves to what is possible and what is not. Also, we come to appreciate that which was impossible one day can look entirely obtainable after a little rest and coffee.
The business of cultivation and stewardship is an unconventional art, a process that moves at the speed of creation and regeneration. It cannot be pushed by personality regardless of how strong our motivations and ambition. We cannot rush a plant to grow according to our carefully planned schedule, nor do cattle care what our spreadsheets say. Mechanical constructs as powerful as we perceive them to be are only a low hum when compared to the ageless rhythms of nature. It is a tempo that one learns through feel and exposure, days sitting horseback, hours waiting for a cow who needs a moment of assistance so she can deliver a shiny new calf. But occasionally even the best ranchers can get caught up in systems, methodologies, the politics of business.
This doesn't happen to four-year-olds, because they don't have to unlearn the lies we adults tell ourselves to justify where we fit in amongst all the all-knowing know-it-alls. So be cautious around the stockmen who ignore children and don't have dog hair on their clothes. They have not been confronted with the small part they play in the symphony of nature.
There is no surefire path to success in ranching; it is very much an art.
Some are masters, others are starving passionate hopefuls and others the ever-present critics. From early on the practitioners develop a native eye to the primal signs that separate a good path from the not so promising path, and they continue to add insight until they are gray in the hair. We gain our agrarian literacy by sitting in tractors with dads, doing chores for moms, supervising renegade grandfathers and doing whatever the hell grandmothers tell us to do. Many a lesson is unconsciously absorbed as we labor to contribute to the efforts of our families.
Fall leaves turn, summers come and go and time colors our perspectives. Some years are good, and some bad. Challenge and perseverance teach us the scope and power of possibility, courage and resourcefulness. The lousy times are painful and stick with us a little longer and rob us, little by little, of our confidence. But when a hurdle is overcome, it reinforces that pushing the edge of that confidence rewards us for our persistence. Sometimes the simple, honest solutions my feeding buddy sees with fresh eyes is the very best solution. He doesn't pine for the good years or carry forward the bad; four-year-olds live for the moment.
So will my four-year-old adviser choose the path to be a rancher, maybe? He is well on his way. If he does, I'm betting that the opportunity will be there. Every so often, a spring comes along where everything is just a little greener, and the plans are just a bit more ambitious. A few years back, before Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef, my answer might have been different because I had experienced many uninspired seasons, and my feelings about the business of ranching were conflicted. Now, I see a rare medium in Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef to move our ranching operation to the type of endeavor that better aligns with our environment and stokes my imagination. The four-year-old and I share the same wide gaze into the future.
And out beyond the next generational horizon I can see the day when my four-year-old helper has a little cowhand sitting next to him, dutifully watching, making sure the heifers are fed.


ISLAMABAD .: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday constituted a committee for devising the structure of local bodies within a week, besides directing it to finalise relevant recommendations for enacting appropriate legislation within a month.
The prime minister issued the instructions during a meeting on local government systems in Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, where the PTI was in power.
Among others, the meeting was also attended by chief ministers of the three provinces, provincial ministers and officials concerned.
A senior government functionary in the K-P government told The Express Tribune that the federal government's bid to introduce a K-P-like LG system' elsewhere was likely to be opposed by bureaucracies at the Centre and in provinces, especially Punjab.
According to him, bureaucrats of the Pakistan Administrative Service cadre, formerly the District Management Group, did not want the LG system to be implemented in letter and spirit — either in Punjab or elsewhere in the country.
Bureaucracy, he said, currently enjoyed overwhelming powers, rendering elected representatives dependent on civil servants in running the government affairs.
"If the LG system is implemented in Punjab, at the Centre or any other part of the country, bureaucrats will lose their importance. They don't want this to happen," he maintained.
The source reminded that at the outset, when the PTI wanted to introduce the LG system in K-P, it had encountered similar obstacles, and the system's implementation was delayed by nearly two years.
The LG system was supposed to be introduced in K-P in 2013, but it was introduced in 2015.
"Unfortunately, bureaucratic practices (originating) from the colonial era are still in vogue. Previous PML-N governments in Punjab and at the Centre heavily relied on government servants, instead of strengthening LG institutions.
"The government," he said, "will focus on empowering union and village councils in Punjab and Balochistan, like it does in K-P," an insider said.
A press release issued by the Prime Minister's Office quoted PM Imran as saying that the transfer of power at the grassroots level and empowering people in the real sense was the "main plank of the party's reform agenda".
The recommendations formulated by the committee constituted by the prime minister would be scrutinised before being presented in respective provincial assemblies, the statement said.
As part of its LG system strategy, the government has divided its initiative titled: "Empowering people at the grassroots" into four phases.
The first phase includes a complete review of the existing local government system in K-P with the inclusion of appropriate amendments to it.
In the second phase, a legal review of Punjab's LG system was to be held. The third phase envisaged drafting a proposed blueprint for revamped local bodies system for provinces and Islamabad Capital Territory.
The last phase included finalising draft legislation to amend local government laws in the three provinces and the federal capital.
The prime minister also chaired a meeting on Sunday on the security and facilitation of Zaireen visiting Iran and Iraq.
The meeting was attended by Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan, Minister of State for Interior Shahryar Afridi and other senior officials.
According to a press release, the prime minister observed that no effort should be spared in providing fool-proof security to the Zaireen.
He directed that a comprehensive action plan should be chalked out, in consultation with all stakeholders, within 48 hours for the security of Zaireen visiting Iran, Iraq and other holy places during Moharram.
The prime minister directed that immigration counters at the Pakistan-Iran border should be enhanced to facilitate Zaireen in expediting the immigration process.
He also directed that a permanent mechanism should also be evolved for streamlining operations of Zaireen in the future.
In this context, the prime minister directed the minister of state for interior to coordinate with the Balochistan chief minister and other stakeholders, including security forces and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, for ensuring maximum facilities to the Zaireen.
The prime minister also called for delineating a "comprehensive, time-bound action plan for outlining responsibilities" for regulating the matter.

Bears notebook: Signings show Bears want to be Bears
Devin Hester credited the fans for standing behind him, and the Bears general manager praised the players for standing behind the fans after Hester became the 10th Bear to sign a contract extension this offseason.
"The good news is, the players we have here want to be Bears," Angelo said after practice Sunday. "Certainly they want their money, but they also made their commitment to me, to Lovie (Smith) and to our fans that they want to be Bears."
Hester appreciated the fans supporting him.
"Every day I come out here, the fans give me a spark," Hester said after agreeing to a four-year extension that will pay him between $30 and $40 million the next six years.
"If we came out in Bourbonnais and there were no fans, this camp would just be so dry and dead. The fans are the ones who get everyone motivated. We couldn't do it without the fans."
Sideline lessons
Receivers coach Darryl Drake admonished Bear receivers to never look at their feet as they tried to keep their toes inbounds in a sideline drill.
"Never look down at that sideline; you take your eyes off the ball," Drake shouted. "Feel it! Feel that sideline!"
Camp sights
Rex Grossman again looked better than Kyle Orton in practice, except for one wobbly underthrown long pass intercepted by Charles Tillman. Kyle Orton missed a wide-open Rashied Davis on one crossing pattern and was intercepted by Hunter Hillenmeyer on one short pass over the middle.
Lovie Smith said he was "very impressed with the running game." The run that drew the biggest applause was third-down specialist Garrett Wolfe breaking loose on a draw play up the middle.
The play of the day, though, was by Hester. The newly re-signed receiver hauled in a 40-yard bomb over this shoulder from Grossman. He wrestled the pass away from Charles Tillman and Mike Brown, and then thrust the ball over his head to big cheers as he rolled over.
That, Smith said, proved Hester didn't miss too much when he missed the first four days of practices.
"He blended in," Smith said. "It's not like we were out there coaching him up on what to do. He's a playmaker, and he made plays.
"I'm smiling most of the time I'm talking about Devin Hester. Now I can do it a little bit more."
