I need to create an adjacency matrix for an undirected unweighted graph representing the neighbor relationship.
So the leftmost column would represent a node. The 3rd column would represent the neighbors of the node in the leftmost column. The table above is just a snippet of the whole data.
Also, I am not trying to parse XML, HTML code. I just wanted to add a snippet of the data in tabular format but I am not sure why it's still displaying the HTML.
Could you all please suggest how to do the same?
Thanks!

A: I created a dictionary with the leftmost column as the keys and the third column as the values. Then just create the adjacency matrix with the keys as nodes and values of the dictionary as neighbors.
minnesota_county_filtered = pd.read_excel('../data/MN_Counties.xlsx',     usecols=['source', 'neighbor'])
minnesota_county_filtered["source"] = minnesota_county_filtered["source"].str.replace(" County, MN", "")
minnesota_county_filtered["neighbor"] = minnesota_county_filtered["neighbor"].str.replace(" County, MN", "")
result = minnesota_county_filtered.groupby('source')['neighbor'].apply(list).to_dict()
result = {k: [v.strip() for v in vs] for k, vs in result.items()}
edges = [(a, b) for a, bs in result.items() for b in bs]
df = pd.DataFrame(edges)
adj_matrix = pd.crosstab(df[0], df[1])

World Fine Art Professionals and their Key-Pieces, 124 – Ropp Schouten
A work by Ropp Schouten you will recognize immediately. He creates playful abstract paintings with circles, triangles, squares in pronounced colors that tell something in a playful way.
His graphic designs not only find their expression in visual work, but also in textual. For many years, Ropp Schouten is the visual man of the 'Mwah tekstuele verwenners' duo. The Mwah creations – short crisp texts that create a smile – are now known not only in Rotterdam but also in the rest of the Netherlands.
ropp – 2, bob smit
Mwah
Ropp has taken the book 'Wie dit leest is te gek' (Whoever reads this is far out) with him. As I browse it, I see indeed very funny short sentences. I remember now that I read the texts a few years ago on the walls of the seventh floor of the Nhow Hotel, part of De Rotterdam, the three towers of Rem Koolhaas next to the Erasmus bridge.
With Erwin Pols, whom he met in 2007, he started Mwah. "He is a star in language. I elaborate it in images. It's a very natural collaboration. "When the Concert Hall De Doelen was renovated, there were thirteen Mwah texts on the hundred-meter-long construction shoot. They were related to the theme music, sound and tone.
At the opening of the new Rotterdam Central Station the texts were also visible on the balustrade at the front and back of the building and on the sides of the elevator shafts. At the Rotterdam literary festival Geen Daden maar Woorden (No Deeds, but Words) the two did in consecutive years performances using the texts. "We gave the public compliments instead of hypocritical words."

Tattoos and skateboards
Ropp is an autodidact graphic artist. He spent a few months on the Graphic Lyceum, but then went to work in the graphic world as a offset printer. "From an early age I had a great love for drawing. My bedroom was full of drawn tattoos and I was a big fan of skateboarding and the graphics that belonged to it. My father had a canoe on which he had his own 'stripes' designed in red, yellow and blue. It fascinated me."
For quite a while, Ropp drew tattoos of women, skulls and snakes. When he started to work with photoshop and illustrator, he made flyers and posters for a disco. In the printing company where he went to work he got to know typography. "A nice mix. The typography I applied to flyers and house styles. I was experimenting a lot."
Things he makes now often come from that period. "Sometimes abstract, the other time figurative or illustrative. Sometimes I use language to express a paradox or a direction."
ropp – 4, CROSSINGS-I
The beauty of simplicity
Ropp is painting for about three years now. He likes working without a plan. "I always enjoy making pictures, now in a clear form, I like more than before to share the work. It is the beauty of simplicity. In the last twenty years, I have been involved in it, but not that pronounced. I work with different layers. I notice that I am pleased to talk about it every now and then. "
ropp – 5, CROSSINGS-II
Ropp Schouten is looking for essence, in all his creations. "I strive for a clear form, which for example illustrates a duality. The Yin Yang symbol is a beautiful example. That's such a strong symbol, so compact and contains so much knowledge. As my experience grows, I find it ever more beautiful. Everywhere you see visual shapes, structures, color, logos, objects, etc. We grow up with it. I am now graphic designer for 16 years and I experience more and more what feeling and joy shapes and colors can evoke.
There have been symbols for thousands of years, in general they have a religious origin. Schouten: "In a compact form, they represent the world we share, even though we are no longer so familiar with the religious beauty. It is interesting to look at it with a fresh and contemporary perspective. Then you see that many teachings are directed outward in contrast to oriental religions and wisdom. Those are aimed inwardly. Inside is where it always happens and is. There is a beauty to rediscover. I try to express this in my work every now and then."
ropp – 8, right-to-left
The end of knowing
It's about approaching the human condition, says Schouten. "What is the essence of being human? You see that there are many conflicts, far from you, but also at the micro level. And that's exactly where you are already. The image of a world is what you create and the brain makes a story about it. What we share is a story, it lives and dies at the same time. Parents go apart for example. Why does that happen? Why do we cry and why do we smile? If I would put my theme in one word I would say: Love. Despite all the ugly expressions of humanity, that is also part of the dual laws we live in. Imagine that you can recognize those laws to the essence. You come to a moment in your life that you think 'I understand it all, all that's happening'. It might not be true at all. Then you can 'ground' your life better. '
"It is, as it were, a higher form of knowledge. Not to be confused with the knowledge from a booklet. You could also formulate it as the knowledge that can lead to the end of knowing. What already exists beyond the usual mental boundary. "
ropp – 10, semicircle-over-square
Schouten: "Fortunately, knowledge has been on the streets or, in the meantime, at your screenplay, but it is you who has the wisdom in mind. And that's a huge wealth. It's stupid if you neglect it while you live."
In some of Ropp's works you can see a triangle. "That's a symbol of things you often find. For example: in the 24 hours in a day, there are three states to discover: wake up, sleep, dreamless sleep. We are the dot in the middle of the triangle, we are the ones who know all three states. The dot could also be called the fourth state. The dot is the knowing self. We do not only dream in our sleep, but we also dream when we are awake, and that seems to be the only reality. Just let the dream be real and at the same time not. Even in paradoxical terms you are no longer safe."
ropp – 12, UNTITLED-II
More abstraction
Everything that is relevant ceases to exist and that after a second. "You know it's true and not true at the same time. It is the old knowledge that has been lost. There is a beauty that I would like to convey through my work. The world seems to be fragmented, there seems to be no more wholeness, but there is. I hope we rediscover ourselves. It will only be fun if you recognize yourself in whom- or whatever. For me, it's a great thing to be involved with."
His works are increasingly moving towards abstraction. In that, 'object and subject' are dissolved. "We feel very pleasant when we can dissolve into something. You solve in time, which simply doesn't exist. There does not seem to be anything. However, the action assumes that you make a conscious effort to enter and stay there. That is not necessary eventually. One can not without the other, and the other can not without the one. The pain and joy can make you feel alive in life. Feeling is as abstract as possible. Abstraction arises from us people without a firm hold. I was once in Museum Boijmans and saw a great work by Martin Assig with the text 'Du hast die ganze Welt getragen'. That struck me, because that goes for everyone."
ropp – 13, UNTITLED-III
Key work
Does he have a key work, a work that served as a tipping point? That seems to be the case, it is 'Untitled 2'. We see a white dot in the middle and from there squares and multiple circles that communicate with each other. A black and white border surrounds it. "It symbolizes the spiritual tendency in which we often find ourselves. We think we are what we think, but that's something we create ourselves without understanding it. With the white dot in 'Untitled 2', we may again realize what we are. What you are is a whole different thing than who you are. If you rediscover what you are, it will coincide."
ropp – 16, ropp
Mondriaan had also discovered this, according to Schouten. In his expressions there is a lot of symbolism. His explanation: "A horizontal line represents the imaginary birth and death and the vertical line stands for the metaphysical. These two are at the same time active. Mondrian has evolved, from figurative to abstract. Oriental thinking played a key role, Jiddu Krishnamurti from India, in particular. Mondriaan expresses it so minimal, he is a genius."
Schouten hopes he can continue to design, and that, in addition to Mwah, he can actually earn an income out of it.

So I'm curious about a few things...
1) When your wife was pregnant, were you worried that your wife might ignore you after the baby arrived? (I worry that that is my husband's fear.)
Married Jake: That's a concern for men, for sure. People told me that you become the family dog once the baby arrives. I.e. the last priority. Like: you get the scraps, instead of being cooked for.
But Blossoms has always been great at making me feel important, like my every thought and action was important.
JG: That's really sweet. So I guess I should just pay special attention to always make my husband feel very included. (By the way, now that we're married, I can't stop saying "my husband.") Does she still cook for you? :)
MJ: Let me say one more thing about that. Once Lil Blossoms arrived,
I never felt the need to be the first priority, or even the second. And to be honest, Blossoms never really cooked! (That's what I've done more of than anything since the baby came. Cooked and cooked and cooked. Makes me feel useful, since I
can't breastfeed or anything)
JG: Haha. We should exchange recipes sometime :)
__Here's my next question: I've heard about "couvade," which is when fathers-to-be experience some pregnancy symptoms, like fatigue or weight gain! It's also called "sympathy pregnancy," which, I have to admit, seems totally cute.
Did you experience that?__
MJ: I wouldn't say I got sympathy pregnancy symptons. I'd say I got fat
You're so tired at the end of the day, once the baby is sleeping, that all you want to do is drink a beer or two and eat whatever food makes you happy. Like a pizza every night. And maybe a pint of coffee ice cream. Or 'Chubby Hubby' would be appropriate
One other warning: it's impossible to exercise when you're a new parent.
JG: Ok, my next question: So, I have all these daydreams about being a parent. What surprised you about being a parent?
MJ: The intensity. It's incredibly intense. Everything is heightened. It's like you're doing some powerful drug.
JG: How exciting! And probably exhausting.
MJ: The other thing that surprised me: I have never gotten tired of it, or sick of it, for even a second
JG: Oh, so sweet.
OK. One more. New parents always say, "I never have time to take a shower," or "I'll never read a novel again." Do you feel like that? (I'm always like, really? one shower?)
MJ: No, I don't. I believe you can live the life you want to live. That said, I haven't been reading nearly as much as I used to. I miss that
The other surprising thing: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY BABY ALL THE TIME. TO EVERYONE.
JG: That is so cute! Have you ever babbled on to a boss or dry cleaner or someone kind of inappropriate? :)
MJ: Yep. So many times a little voice has said, 'This is not interesting to other people.' But then this other voice says, 'Of course it is! Your baby's poops are the most fascinating things in the world!"
JGL Also, I LOVE going to restaurants for dinner (like everyone else in the world).
Now that you have a little babe, do you ever take her to dinner with you? Can you tell when she's going to be quiet/sleeping? Or is eating dinner out a total crap shoot?
MJ: First, I actually find I don't want to go out for dinner as much. Second is that we did a schedule with her, so we pretty much know exactly when she'll be sleeping and/or up and ready to go. Which is fantastic. Except that she goes to sleep at 7.
JG: Early bird specials!
Thanks, Jake. I'm so excited! It's really fun to hear the inside scoop on new parenthood. I can't wait (and am fine with skipping dinners:). Anything else you'd like to add?
MJ: Last thing: YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT. really. love.

Philippines Congress Commends ICRISAT s Dr William Dar
The Philippines The House of Representative has commended former agriculture secretary and ICRISAT Director General Dr William D Dar for his exemplary public service and his work in agricultural research
By RM Bureau | December 26, 2014
The Philippines' The House of Representative has commended ICRISAT Director General Dr William D Dar for his exemplary public service and in appreciation of his achievements as a recipient of Agriculture Leadership Award during the 7th International Leadership Summit 2014 in New Delhi.
"On behalf of my family and ICRISAT, I humbly acknowledge the commendation of the members of the House of Representatives led by Speaker Belmonte and Deputy Speaker Padilla," said Dr Dar, who concludes an unprecedented 15-year term on 31 December 2014, as Director General of ICRISAT.
Early this month, he also received from President Aquino a Pamana ng Pilipino Award, along with 32 other outstanding Filipinos oversea.
To date, Dar is the only Filipino who has served as director general of a global agricultural research institute. He leaves behind a legacy benefitting millions of farmers in India, Africa, and other dryland countries in the world, including the Philippines.
He has transformed ICRISAT into a leading agricultural research institute in terms of innovative research programs, impact on farmers, financial stability, quadrupling the income and investments poured into ICRISAT since 2000, from US$21 million to US$85 million in 2014.

Some of the largest school districts in the United States are moving away from two decades of "zero tolerance" policies that resulted in thousands of students being arrested and dropping out. Instead, education officials are trying to help at-risk kids avoid trouble and stay in school.
The shift away from "get tough" policies, first developed in the 1990s as part of the war on drugs, has taken place in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver and most recently Broward County, Florida, home to Fort Lauderdale.
Education leaders in Broward—which boasts the sixth largest public school system in the U.S.—realized two years ago that they needed to rethink their strategy for dealing with troubled youths after the school district led all others nationally in arrests (more than 1,000 in 2011).
Most of the arrests were for misdemeanors, such as marijuana possession or spraying graffiti.
Broward schools are now putting more resources in student counseling and other help to keep kids from getting into trouble. As part of this effort, they teamed last month with the juvenile justice division, local law enforcement agencies, and various civil rights groups, including the NAACP, to restructure its disciplinary approach with a de-emphasis on punishment. The new strategy sends first-time student offenders of certain non-violent crimes to counseling and community service, rather than to jail and court. Those guilty of lesser infractions are required to attend a three-day program to address the problem.
So far, the plan has been working, with school-based arrests dropping by 41% and suspensions down by 66%.
Across the nation, the majority of the students in need of this kind of assistance are from minority groups, with 70% of students involved in arrests or referrals to court being black or Hispanic.


It's springtime, the birds are singing and the state of Wisconsin is launching its annual raid on Chicago corporations.
Last month, representatives from the Badger State traveled to Illinois to meet with area CEOs and, well, badger them, to expand in or relocate to Wisconsin.
The annual Chicago prospecting trip has been fruitful: In the past decade, our neighbors to the north have lured 66 companies to move or expand across the state line. This year, they set up a record 89 meetings with company leaders.
With a name evocative of a battle cry, "Forward Wisconsin" representatives come loaded with brochures and fact sheets outlining Wisconsin's lower electricity rates, lower taxes and strong labor force. With a nudge and a wink, they talk about relocation incentives and the pro-business reputation of Gov. Tommy G. Thompson.
"I thought they were organized," says Jay Dembsky, chief financial officer of Chicago-based Vita Food Products Inc., a pickled herring packager that was wooed by Wisconsin several years ago. "(In Wisconsin), the business climate is good and you don't need a (tax-increment financing district) to keep your taxes low."
The tactics have raised the ire of local leaders, notably Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. "Tommy Thompson comes to Chicago more than anyone else. . . . He comes right into the city, giving tax relief and a lot of other benefits to those companies," a frustrated Mr. Daley told reporters in December.
More than anything, Mr. Daley is upset that this state has nothing resembling a counteroffensive. Budget cuts by former Gov. Jim Edgar left the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA), the state's economic development agency, open to criticism by business leaders and economic development officials throughout the region.
"DCCA was running pretty slim under Gov. Edgar," says Laurie Stone, president of the Greater O'Hare Assn. of Industry and Commerce, a Bensenville-based economic development agency.
Gov. George Ryan has proposed more funding for DCCA -- $24 million in fiscal 2000 -- and the reopening of DCCA's international offices. His chief of staff has an economic development background, and he recently appointed an economic development adviser, Laurence J. Msall, to spearhead new efforts. A bill pending in the General Assembly would provide income tax credits for new or expanding companies that are considering relocating to neighboring states.
"Is economic development becoming a greater priority? The answer is yes," says Mr. Msall.
Not content to wait, Mr. Daley wants to create a regional economic development plan.
Meanwhile, a Forward Wisconsin spokesman says the trip to Chicago "went very well." The group is planning a scaled-down version of the trip to Rockford this fall.
"We'll be back," the spokesman says -- "next year and every year."

Courts and COVID-19: an Assessment of Countries Dealing with Democratic
Abstract: Abstract This article aims to present four case studies of the different responses to governmental measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic by supreme and constitutional courts, especially in cases of jurisdictions that have been facing democratic erosion. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic demanded immediate public policies and other political decisions from the branches of government. Executive authorities were the main actors in effecting constitutional public health norms. The expectation was that they will abide by the rule of law in fulfilling their duties; that has not been the case under governments that promoted democratic erosion. The different contexts of the threats posed to the constitutional democracies led populist and illiberal leaders to opportunistically either try to—and then be contained by courts—or effectively consolidate the expansion of powers under the conditions of the pandemic. Concentrating on four jurisdictions (the USA, Hungary, El Salvador, and Brazil), the article demonstrates that courts can effectively work as bulwarks against waves of democratic erosion, especially in situations of stress, as it was the case in the global COVID-19 pandemic. This hypothesis is also proven by episodes in which courts did not sufficiently operate to curb illiberalism because they were already captured. The analyses enable classifying the court's responses to the COVID-19 executive measures in a threefold pattern: deferential, restrictive, and of forced capitulation.
The Pandemic and Constitutionalism
Abstract: Abstract The paper discusses the reactions of different political and constitutional systems reactions to the pandemic and also the impact of COVID to populism, constitutionalism, and autocracy. Beyond the choice between economic and health considerations also applied in liberal democratic countries, which have lead either to "under-" or "overreaction" to the pandemic, certain illiberal regimes used the crisis situation as a pretext to strengthen the autocratic character of their systems. In some cases, this needed an "underreach," like in Poland to insist on the presidential election, which has been important to entrench the power of the governing party's incumbent, elsewhere "overreach," like in Hungary, where an unlimited emergency power of government has been introduced after the very first cases of contagion. These autocratic "overreactions" have breached the formerly used authoritarian legalistic approaches by openly violating their own illiberal constitutions. New "conservative" theories on "common good constitutionalism" emerged to legitimize the necessity of authoritative rule by the executive power. The paper concludes that one possibility to overcome authoritarian populism and restore constitutionalism in crisis situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic would be to rely on the involvement of the well informed public, one that is capable to understand and assess the advice of the meritocratic elite. This kind of participation would also help build up a constitutional culture necessary to preserve the values of constitutionalism.

Cogens
Reply to Critics: Poscher and Eleftheriadis
Abstract: Abstract In this piece I reply to comments on my book, The Mechanics of Claims and Permissible Killing in War, by Ralf Poscher and Pavlos Eleftheriadis. Poscher points out that my discussion of rights gave short shrift to the notion of dignity; my reply here gives me the welcome opportunity to correct that oversight. Eleftheriadis dissects my methodology, trying to shoehorn my theory into an existing category; my reply here gives me an opportunity to clarify why it is not just a variation on a familiar theme, but in fact, it represents a new approach to rights.
Neo-Orthodoxy in the Morality of War
Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, revisionist philosophers have radically challenged the orthodox just war theory championed by Michael Walzer in the 1970s. This review considers two new contributions to the debate, Benbaji and Statman's War by Agreement and Ripstein's Kant and the Law of War, which aim to defend the traditional war convention against the revisionist attack. The review investigates the two books' respective contractarian and Kantian foundations for the war convention, their contrast with the revisionist challenge, and their points of disagreement. Building on the responses to Ripstein in the edited collection, The Public Uses of Coercion and Force, and providing an overview of the broader debate, the review offers an analysis of the two books' positions on the relationship between the morality and laws of war, on just cause and the crime of aggression, and on the equality between just and unjust combatants.
To Surrender or to Fight On' A Human Rights Perspective on
Abstract: Abstract The traditional international law of self-defense provides little indication about how far states should be willing to defend. That choice is better understood as constrained, beyond the jus in bello and the jus ad bellum, by human rights norms that implicate responsibilities of the sovereign vis-à-vis its own population. Different conceptions of human rights, however, underscore different possible theories of the extent of self-defense. The main polarity is between a conception of self-defense as protecting bare life and a conception of self-defense as protecting collective self-determination. In the practice of justifying particular uses of self-defense, these foundations are constantly and dynamically rearticulated to justify fighting on, surrendering, or negotiating. This raises questions about the impact of conditions of uncertainty, different conceptions of agency, and the role of the international community. Ultimately, the article suggests that self-defense radicalizes anxieties about the foundation and finality of rights.
To Derogate or to Restrict' The COVID-19 Pandemic, Proportionality and
the Justificatory Gap in European Human Rights Law
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, I offer an analytical and normative framework to re-visit the question of whether state parties should derogate from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic via harsh 'lockdown' measures. It is three-pronged. First, I show that the predominant debate on the (non-)derogation question is informed by a textual approach to adjudication, which severely limits the analytical and evaluative horizon for addressing the issue. Most importantly, it cannot address one salient fact about the effects of lockdown measures, namely their highly disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups and minorities. Second, I argue that proportionality assessment should be the basis for determining whether state parties ought to derogate or not. This is because proportionality's very purpose is in part to track the effects of state interferences on minorities and vulnerable groups by measuring the disproportionate burden imposed on them. It is also because proportionality assessment has very different requirements between limitation clauses built into the relevant Convention articles (e.g. Article 5, Articles 8–11) and the derogation clause (Article 15) under the ECHR. Surprisingly, while the emerging literature almost always mentions proportionality as an important component of the analysis, it does not investigate the extent to which each regime (derogation or limitation) better performs it, and why. Third, I draw from the philosophical literature on the 'right to justification' to clarify the egalitarian and justificatory function of proportionality. Unlike derogation, limitation clauses have a much higher and systematic requirement of justification, which makes the case for non-derogation clearer and stronger.
Toward a Dignity-Based Account of International law
Abstract: Abstract Once limited to issues in maritime and trade law, today, the most recognizable examples of international law govern issues such as human rights, intellectual property, crimes against humanity, and international armed conflicts. In many ways, this proliferation has been a welcomed development. However, when coupled with international law's decentralized structure, this rapid proliferation has also posed problems for how we (and in particular judges) identify if, when, and where international law exists. This article puts forward a novel, dignity-based account for how we answer this question: arguing that an international law exists if and only if it is consistent with respecting dignity. The upshot of this account is twofold. First, it explains many features of international law that other theories leave unaccounted for or under-explained. And second, my dignity-based account provides for a mechanism through which the system can continue to be developed and improved.
Emergency Powers, Constitutional (Self-)Restraint and Judicial Politics:
the Turkish Constitutional Court During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the Turkish Constitutional Court (TCC)'s treatment of legal challenges brought against Turkey's legal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a detailed examination of the TCC's institutional features, political origins and jurisprudential trajectory, and taking three politically salient judgments of the TCC concerning Turkey's executive-dominated pandemic control as the point of departure, the paper argues that the TCC chose to exercise judicial restraint both in protecting fundamental rights and reviewing pandemic policies of the executive. It also argues that the TCC's judicial restraint during the pandemic was simply the re-manifestation of its 'play-it-safe' strategy — a judicial stance the TCC willingly adopted in the aftermath of the 2016 attempted coup despite possessing strong constitutional powers of judicial review, and its established attitude of assertive scrutiny in the past. From a more theoretical perspective, the analysis also explores how the passive role to which the TCC is consigned in an increasingly authoritarian regime since the 2016 failed coup relates to the global phenomenon of judicialization of authoritarian politics.
Judicializing Schmitt's "Legality and Legitimacy"
Abstract: Abstract In the Preussen contra Reich case of 1932, Carl Schmitt's theories on equal chance and law in extreme conditions are interpreted and applied in a court of law, firstly by Schmitt himself, then, going contrary to Schmitt's interpretation, by Dr. Arnold Brecht and Dr. Hans Peters. This paper will first present the basis of the two theories from Schmitt's "Legality and Legitimacy," namely, equal chance and the need for extraordinary measures. Then this paper will focus on the diverging legal interpretations of these two theories, as presented in court by different legal theorists. These divergent interpretations of "equal chance" and "law in extreme conditions," as presented in the aforementioned case, have yet to reach an international readership, as the case itself has never been fully translated into English. Finally, this paper will question the practical application of the two theories in the reality of the empirical world, which in turn question the relationship between any parliamentary legislative system and law.

What Is Wrong with Solidarity in EU Asylum and Migration Law'
Abstract: Abstract In this article, we explore why solidarity has not worked according to expectation in EU migration and asylum law and why it is unlikely to work in the future. First, we consider discourses of burden-sharing and solidarity in EU law from the 1990s up to the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 to identify emergent path dependencies. This period saw the introduction of primary law provisions on solidarity, such as Article 80 TFEU, as French and Dutch electorates had rejected a European constitution. Second, we perform an analysis of Article 80 through the conceptual history of solidarity, in particular, the dominant Roman law tradition of obligation in solidum and the French tradition of solidarism. We submit that the term 'solidarity' is actually a misnomer: already on structural grounds, Article 80 should be read as an alliance clause, countering a threat of irregular immigration. Third, we find that the practice under Article 80 as it develops during the period between 2015 and the 2020 European Commission Pact on Migration and Asylum corroborates this finding. Overall, we find that the concept of solidarity in EU asylum and migration law engenders outcome expectations that it cannot deliver as the defence alliance it is.
The Force of Law' Transparency of Scientific Advice in Times of
Abstract: Abstract Freedom of Information Acts (FOIA) are valuable legal tools to access information held by public authorities but during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic time frames to reply to requests were de jure or de facto suspended in many countries. However, the lack of effective legal tools to achieve transparency was not automatically paired with governmental secrecy. This research paper analyses which are the factors that prompted some governments to move from secrecy to transparency while the essential legal tool to achieve disclosure of information was not available. It focuses on the role of 'ecologies of transparency', a concept developed by Seth Kreimer to describe how FOIA needs to be understood as functioning within a collection of factors and actors. Yet, can transparency ecologies still force disclosure of information when FOIA is suspended' Research focuses on a comparative case study about transparency of scientific committees advising governments on Covid-19 in the UK and in Spain. In both countries, members and minutes were initially secret, but the British government published information before being forced by FOIA, while the Spanish executive only released partial information when FOIA was reactivated. The paper argues that information disclosure processes can be understood as supply and demand models. On the demand side, it highlights the role of adversarial press, scientific community, whistle-blowers, the opposition and critics within the governing party as decisive factors within the transparency ecology. On the supply side, it focuses on legitimation needs from the government to explain different outcomes.
Choices and Contexts in India's Constitutional Founding
Abstract: Abstract 'India's founding moment' a moment of breath-taking political imagination and it is one of the great achievements of Madhav Khosla. to unpack important parts of its pre-history and emergence. This article will look at two questions—one about alternatives and the other about contexts. Regarding alternatives, I am interested in the paths not taken and an understanding of possibilities. I try to get a sense of possible alternative futures or modernities that the founding generation pondered, in the best case allowing us to wonder what we can learn from the choices made as well as from the paths rejected. The other question I raise is the question of the intellectual contexts, in which the founding took place. Coming from a non-Indian perspective, I am interested in the entanglements, the contexts and potentially migrating ideas that emerge.
Constituting India
Abstract: Abstract Even though revolutions are central to the history of modern constitutionalism, some revolutions have invited more attention than others. This essay, a response to a symposium on India's Founding Moment, underlines the significance of India's constitutional founding and highlights ways in which India's founders sought to create and develop democracy in a land where its supposed ingredients did not exist. The essay then turns to contemporary politics and considers the possibilities and limitations of the constitutional framework to address the current concerns over democratic backsliding in India.
Customary Norms, General Principles of International Environmental Law,
and Assisted Migration as a Tool for Biodiversity Adaptation to Climate
Abstract: Abstract Assisted migration (AM) is a translocation of the representatives of species to areas outside their natural habitats as a response to climate change. This article seeks to identify how customary norms and general principles of international environmental law could guide the development of regulation of AM maximizing the benefits of using AM and minimizing AM-related risks. Among the customary norms and principles of international environmental law discussed in the article and relevant to the regulation of AM are the permanent sovereignty over natural resources, the principle of cooperation, the no-harm rule, the precautionary principle, the principles of prevention, due diligence, and obligation to conduct environmental impact assessment (EIA), the principles of integration and intergenerational equity, common but differentiated responsibilities, and the polluter pays principle, the principles of non-regression, progression, resilience, in dubio pro natura, the principle of ecological proportionality, and the principle of access to information, public participation, and access to justice in environmental matters (principle of good governance, environmental democracy).
Rights in the Balance
Abstract: Abstract Professor Walen's book rejects the familiar argument of "double effect," namely the doctrine that an action that knowingly causes the death of another person cannot be justified merely by its good consequences but only by its good intentions. Professor Walen offers a rival argument. He proposes that we rethink the killing of non-combatants in war on the basis of a theory of "the mechanics of claims" so that the intentional killing of civilians may be occasionally permissible. Such targeting of civilians may be justified, according to the book's argument, by the aim of eliminating the threat that these civilians may pose—innocently or not—to other persons. In these circumstances, it will not only be permissible, but it would also be a matter of right to kill civilians, which would be derived from a balancing of "claims." The argument is impressively made but is ultimately unconvincing. All the decisive questions appear to be matters of a balance of "goodness." The "mechanics of claims" organizes a structure of welfare values that ultimately work as a proxy for act-utilitarianism. As a result, the argument is open to well-known objections regarding justice and the separateness of persons.
A Suitable Paradigm: the Indian Founding and the world
Abstract: Abstract What is the relevance of the Indian case for South Africa' And what should South Africans, and the rest of the world, make of the claim in Madhav Khosla's India's Founding Moment that we should recognize India as 'the' paradigm case for modern constitutional democracy' The constitutional projects of India and South Africa are naturally connected, but Khosla's book helps to bring out what is perhaps the most important of the connections. Both are founded on an insistently democratic constitutionalism, in places where most inhabitants had long been told they were not suited or ready for democracy. Both display the conviction that boldly giving the vote to all, in these circumstances, is a powerful way to construct a democracy. This idea is crucial for understanding many aspects of both constitutions. This makes India a natural paradigm case for South Africa and many others. The stronger claim, that it is 'the' paradigm case and should succeed the United States to this status, can become more complicated once one tests it out globally (like the US claim). Finland and Ireland are especially strong and earlier examples of what Khosla sees as ground-breaking in India. Latin America's somewhat different post-colonial trajectory makes India a more imperfect paradigm there. But that said, treating India and its founding as paradigmatic may well be the single best step to take for a more balanced view of the constitutional world, and this book's elegant erudition makes it a real scholarly pleasure to do so.
Democracy, Constitutionalism, Modernity, Globalisation
Abstract: Abstract This essay is a contribution to a symposium on Madhav Khosla's important book, India's Founding Moment. It uses the book to reflect on the relevance of the story of the Indian founding to constitution making around the world in the twenty-first century. It explores this question through three themes that run through the book: people and process; the substance of constitutions; and global influences. In conclusion, I suggest that the principal value of the Indian example lies in its emphasis on the development of a democratic people through the principles and processes for which a democratic constitution provides. The direct applicability of the Indian example should not be overstated, however. In matters of important detail, it was necessarily anchored in the particularities of the Indian case, including the nature of the societal divisions as they had evolved under colonial rule, attracting substantive constitutional solutions that would not necessarily be applicable elsewhere. The world of constitution making has moved in in 70 years, moreover, as might be expected. Many of the challenges for constitution making now reflect both the possibilities and the pathologies of post-modernity, to which the Indian founding provides at best a general guide.
Human Dignity in the Mechanics of Claims
Abstract: Abstract The mechanics of claims focusses predominantly on the claim to life. The claim to life is rooted in the autonomy principle, just like other specific claims. Still, the mechanics of claims does not have a systematic place for the fundamental negation of the status as an autonomous being as such. It is, however, the proctiction of the status as such, which is at the center of the protection of human dignity in German constitutional law. Looked at it from this perspective, the protection of human dignity as the protection of the status of an autonomous human being, appears to be a blind spot of the mechanics of claims. The comment attempts to show, how this blindspot leads to inconsistencies in the mechanics of claims, and how they might be ameliorated if human dignity is considered as an absolute right independent of the claims to life.

President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji, Aliko Dangote, has announced that the Dangote Sugar Refinery (DSR) Plc is significantly scaling up its investment in the sugar sub-sector in line with the requirement of the Nigeria Sugar Master plan (NSMP).
Speaking at the Flag off Ceremony of the 2022/2023 Crushing Season and Outgrower Scheme Awards in Numan, Adamawa State, Dangote said the company is making massive investments in Adamawa State through the expansion of DSR Numan sugar refining capacity from 3,000 tons of cane per day (tcd) to 6,000 tcd, 9,800 tcd and to 15,000 tcd.
Noting that increasing the sugar refining capacity will require a corresponding increase in sugarcane production capacity, he revealed that the company has concluded plans to increase its sugar plantation from the current land area under cane production of about 8,700 hectares in 2022 to about 24,200 hectares within the next 7 years. He also assured that the company will double its scholarship and empowerment schemes in its host communities.
"We will continue to introduce more initiatives to support our host communities. Through these initiatives and our numerous Corporate Social Responsibility activities which are numerous to mention, DSR Numan will be able to touch the lives of the people, bringing social, economic, and infrastructural development to our host communities."
He said: "We are thus committing over $700 million to our investment in the Backward Integration Programme (BIP) to enable us to put in place needed infrastructure for the eventual commencement of full-scale production," he said.
Dangote further assured that Dangote Sugar will change the trajectory by making Nigeria self-sufficient in the sector.
Already, the company noted that it has spent billions of naira in developing infrastructural facilities for host communities.
Speaking, also at the event, the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo described the Dangote Refinery as the biggest contributor to the sugar development stride of the Federal Government.
The Minister also commended Aliko Dangote and the Management staff of Dangote Sugar for their massive support through the company's corporate social responsibility scheme which he said should be highly commended.
He said Agencies under his ministry will partner with the company to provide the technical know-how that will support the Dangote empowerment schemes in the host communities.
In the same vein, Governor of Adamawa State, Umaru Fintiri who was represented by his Deputy Crowther Seth said he was amazed by the social-economic transformation carried out by the Dangote Group, adding that it is monumental. He assured the company of the support of the state government and enjoined other corporate bodies to imbibe Dangote's spirit of job creation across the country.
Speaking on behalf of the traditional rulers, Hama Bachama Dr. Daniel Shaga Ismail described Dangote as God-sent and pledged that his people would continue to support the company.
Aliko Dangote further announced a Free Education for all the students of Dangote Sugar Refinery High School, among other scholarship winners announced.

The Kenya Meteorological Department has said rain bearing winds are stuck in Tanzania due to low pressure needed to push them northwards into the country.
The department observed the situation would remain dire until the end of April 2019 where heavy rains would be witnessed though for a short while.
According to the Standard on Thursday, April 11, Acting Kenya Meteorological Department Director Stella Aura, said it would take time before the winds gather sufficient strength to push the rains into the country.
Aura said the end-of-the-month rains would be heavy but would not last long advising those living in lowland areas and urban centres with poor drainage to take precaution.
In Western Kenya, rains accompanied with lightening would be expected while parts of Murang'a and Meru would experience landslides and mudslides.
Residents of flood-prone Budalang'i have also been asked to take precaution.
The weather man further advised farmers to plant drought resistant and fast-maturing crops since the rains were unreliable.
Farmers have expressed frustrations following delayed rains which normally span the months of March, April and May.
Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa on Wednesday, April 10, warned that the country could experience drought this year since the rains were not promising.


Sharon Levenberry is a native Washingtonian and a graduate of Theodore Roosevelt High School. After leaving the area for a time, she recently moved back downtown and chose to live in Mount Vernon Triangle, motivated by her employer, AAMC's, decision to relocate their headquarters to our neighborhood.
MVTCID: Tell us a bit about how your history with Mount Vernon Triangle – how long have you lived here and in DC?
SHARON: I am a native Washingtonian and a graduate of Theodore Roosevelt High School. My first job was at the Hecht Company downtown. I was living in the Washington suburbs for a while and when the AAMC announced their move, it was a great opportunity to get back downtown. I recently moved into Mount Vernon Triangle and am glad to be back!
MVTCID: What do you like most about living in Mount Vernon Triangle and downtown DC? We know you must enjoy walking to work now since AAMC moved here!
SHARON: Very much so. I really enjoy being in close proximity to shopping at Safeway, Walmart, Giant, CVS and Walgreens, a variety of department stores, the movie theaters and an abundance of restaurants and carry outs is great. It's also nice to be near events at the Convention Center and Verizon Center.I like that there is alternative transportation instead of driving, particularly access to Union Station, Metro, Metrobus and the Circulator and it's easy to catch a cab.
MVTCID: Are there things about living here that you think people miss in their day to day lives? What should they be sure to notice?
SHARON: People should notice the activity in our community that promotes healthy eating; we can promote the Farmers Market and local vendors that sell fresh fruits and vegetables for instance. Also, take a minute to browse around and take in the architecture of new construction in a modern, growing Washington DC. But I'm hoping we don't also lose the City's original charm.
MVTCID: What is your favorite spot to eat in the Triangle?
SHARON: No favorites yet, and still experiencing food cultures from Busboys and Poets, Mandu, Alba Osteria, Tel'veh Café & Wine Bar and Henry's. I'm making my rounds!

Home Life Emergency per...
Emergency personnel in Hazmat suits searched an Australian university only to find a 'gas leak' was caused by durians – here are 4 other times the king of fruits caused trouble with its smell
Rachel Tay
550 students had to be evacuated from the University of Canberra Library in Australia on Friday (May 10), after reports were made about a strong smell of gas.
Lianhe Zaobao
The king of fruits is both loved and hated by many, but the creamy Southeast Asian fruit has also proven to be a source of trouble on many occasions, thanks to its pungent smell.
Most recently, 550 students had to be evacuated from the University of Canberra Library in Australia on Friday (May 10), after reports were made about a strong smell of gas.
In a statement, The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Emergency Services Agency said that a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) team was sent to the campus to conduct atmospheric monitoring, while firefighters did a complete search of the building.
In a Facebook post, the University of Canberra Library revealed that the smell of gas had been traced to a durian that was dumped in one of the bins within the library.
While the story may sound ridiculous to durian lovers in Singapore and Malaysia who grew up loving its smell, this isn't the first time the potent aroma of the durian has been the root cause of trouble.
1. Failed breathalyser test
Earlier this month, the king of fruits almost got a man into trouble with the law when he failed his breathalyser test after consuming durians in China's Jiangsu province.
After the police conducted a blood test, it was revealed that the man had no trace of alcohol in his system and he was eventually released.
Further investigations by the police revealed that it was possible to record a positive reading of 36mg per 100ml of blood on a breathalyser test just after one had consumed durians.
The recorded reading was almost double China's legal blood-alcohol concentration limit for driving of 20mg per 100ml of blood.

2. An Indonesian flight carrying durians was grounded
A Sriwijaya Air flight bound for Jarkarta from Bengkulu was delayed for an hour in November 2018 after passengers made complaints about stacks of durians that was stored in the plane's cargo hold.
According to BBC news, passengers demanded for the fruit to be removed and some even came close to fighting with cabin crew.
Eventually, the airline had to give in to the demands of the passengers and unloaded the durians from the cargo hold, BBC said.

3. Rotting fruit in university campus library
About 600 staff and students were evacuated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology university campus library in April 2018, after the potent smell of a rotting durian fruit had been mistaken for a gas leak, AP news reported.
According to AP news, specialist crews wearing masks searched the campus library, but all they found was a rotting durian in a cupboard.
4. Hospital 'gas leak'
In April 2014, the smell of a durian had sparked concerns of a gas leak in one of the hospital wards in Mitcham Private Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, ABC news reported.
According to ABC news, six patients were evacuated to a different area of the hospital.
Later, firefighters who were called to the scene traced the smell to a durian.
The hospital's chief executive said that the fruit had probably been given to one of the patients as a gift, ABC news reported.
