Sulayman (age 8): "We are doing this to help the people who don't have anything and we are doing this project to help other people who are making water. We are doing this so that it is fair for the people who have water to give to the people who dont have water. Everybody needs water. And we get clean water. We have to help people who don't have clean water."
Yousuf (age 6): "Because they don't have water. So we need to give them money so that they can get water. And if you don't give them water then God won't be happy. If you have clean water then help them get water."
Backstory (from mom): I showed the kids a video about the drought in Somalia. The kids were sad and worried. What can we do? Why dont they have water! They were asking so many questions and were genuinely concerned about helping people get water. They had ideas from filling up empty water bottles and shipping to Somalia to trying to take a plumber to Africa to bring water. So we researched how to help build water wells and this is how this campaign came about. Do what you can with what you have. Every dollar can make an impact somehow. The above are exact quotes of theirs as we built this page together. Money donated here will go to help build a well in Kenya, Sierra Leone or Uganda.

Weird Party

Weird Party (Photo by RamonLP4)
Weird Party is nothing but a big pile of sweaty, audacious, ready-to-scrap Rock and Roll. Etched in their new 7" is all the snot, spit, and fire of the finest punk. Live, they are possessed men who rage with a fury that infects any unwitting crowd. Hell, they might even steal your girlfriend at the end of the night if you're not careful. The thing is, for all the wild shows and kick-ass Rock and Roll, you won't find another band that is as smart, droll, and dedicated to their craft as these guys. We sat down with Buggy Rickshaw, Keg Noisily, Rowland Blackout, and DK Miller (Behest Peen wasn't able to join us) at La Carafe last month and, I can honestly say, I've never had a harder time cutting an interview.
Keg – By the way, it was my idea to have a bar at Whole Foods. I came up with that idea and they stole it.
FPH – You should have figured some angle to make money with that.
Keg - I HAD an angle! They wouldn't listen to me.
FPH - But they did listen to you….
Keg – Yeah, and they cut me out!!
FPH - When Weird Party started you had the thing where you could only have access through an invitation, you had business cards, and the limo thing with Jordan Graber. What was all that about?
Keg - Every bit of that is we're a bunch of smart-ass idiots who sit around cooking-up stupid ideas to do and then dare each other to do it. You wanna hear what's even funnier is the idea that didn't happen 'cause it was too expensive. The first Summerfest we played, we were going to pay one of those airplanes that drag a flag behind them to say "Pray for Weird Party." The card thing was actually a misunderstanding. We were talking about flyers and I mentioned an old punk flyer that looked like a business card and they actually made a business card. So when Bryan brought them in, we said "This is genius! Just go pass them out!" But it was a total misunderstanding and people just ran with it like Jordan (Graber) taking a picture of the girl's hand with the card and I love that stuff. I mean it was all funny.
FPH - What was the worst idea you guys ever had?
Keg - We were going to kick-out a member by sending them a strip-o-gram but I don't know if I want to elaborate any more….
FPH - No wait, that's great…
Keg - Yeah, that IS a good idea. I mean, having never seen one, I don't know what happens in a strip-o-gram - like do they deliver a message and then strip or…
Rowland - But it wasn't a stripper; it was a dude in a banana costume.
Keg – Well, it was either or it may have been both - I don't know - but we were going to do that to kick a person out.
FPH - If I got kicked out of a band, that'd be a classy way to go.
Rowland - Yeah, that was the point! See, you'd be happy about that.
Buggy - Nothing says "kicked-out" like a good pair of tits.
FPH - The stripper would be good but the guy in the banana suit…not so much…
Keg - And that's an argument we had. If you do one, it's a slap in the face but if you do the other, it might be a joy. Actually, we might have done it but Rowland fucked-up and sent him an e-mail.
FPH – Why a 7"?
Keg - I don't think we originally planned on releasing a 7". We just wanted to get some songs out with the new line-up.
Rowland - I like the idea of putting out 7"s. Why go all-out with an LP right out of the gates? Why not put out a little bit at a time? Tease 'em at first. Foreplay. I don't want to shoot my wad all at once.
FPH - What's the focus of Weird Party?
Keg - 100% it's on writing. We're constantly working on riffs and Rowland is constantly working on his vocals and lyrics. For me, it's all about making music that I would like to hear.
FPH - How was it releasing a 7" yourselves?
Keg - It's nice not to wait for somebody else's schedule. Our single from recording to release wasn't very long. That's nice because I've been in bands before where, by the time your record comes out, you really don't care about what you did at all. In the end, I want to put out records that I will be happy with later on in life and make recordings that are compelling to listen to.
FPH - How is this band different from other bands you've been involved in?
Rowland - We practice!
Keg - Yeah, we have a good work ethic.
Rowland – …and it's fun, it's not drudgery. It's work but we enjoy it. I'm older now - I'm not a young goofball like I used to be - so I can take it more seriously. I have less time to do it so, when we do meet, it's more focused.
FPH - How does holding a job play into the whole Rock thing?
Keg - I think we have freedom; we're not trying to make a living but what bands are anymore? I don't want to trivialize it but this is like my golf. It's a hobby but it's a serious hobby that I want to do as well as I can. Hobby makes it sound like it isn't good but…
DK Miller - … it's a craft.
FPH - What's your fan base?
Keg - Look at these handsome gentlemen – it's young ladies. It's a Death Rock Boy Band.
FPH – Death Rock Boy Band?
Keg - Death Rock is prior to Goth like early Christian Death and 45 Grave.
Rowland – Take that and add the boy band factor.
Buggy - At the record release, we had people dancing.
Keg - They weren't on my side of the stage! I have a few guys interested in guitar gear on my side. Guys thinking, "What is that pedal? I think they stopped making that two years ago." That's all I've got. The other side of the stage is all young ladies checking the dudes out.
Rowland - We all bring our own demographic.
FPH – Hey, if you have the ladies and the guitar nerds…
Keg - …you're covered. And the guitar nerds don't bother the ladies and the ladies don't notice the guitar nerds.
Rowland - They are at peace…in harmony.
FPH - Given all the work - the rehearsals, hauling big cabinets up stairs, all that stuff. Why do it? What's the point?
Keg - It's the same reason it's always been; if you're not a big strong tough dude or really intelligent, music is like magic. It's a way to distinguish yourself in the world. It always has been.
Rowland - …and it makes chicks dance!
Buggy - When we play live, it's a free moment to not be what we are during the day. I'll look at these guys and I'll see a nurse, an accountant, and a sign shop guy raging – that's badass. It's like magic. At the end of a set, it's like waking up from a dream where I don't remember any specifics about the show we just played.
Keg - It's like running; it eradicates all the bad stuff in your head. It clears the decks of all life's problems…at least for that time you are doing it.
FPH - Some people would argue, "Why do it if you are playing a shitty bar and you're not going to get famous?"
Rowland - Well I'm pretty sure none of us are looking to get famous from this. And, I like the idea of playing in small, stinky clubs. I think that's the essence of Rock and Roll.
DK Miller – I'd rather be playing at a small, stinky club than just sitting there drinking.
Buggy - That's kind of how I felt when I was younger and I would go to shows. I would look around and I would see people who were DOING things as opposed to just being an observer and I felt I was much more about the people who were making those moments happen for everyone else. I like being a purveyor of joy as opposed to just being a recipient.
Keg - It's about doing something, not just being a witness.
Rowland - I couldn't wait to be the guy carrying an 8X10 cab up the stairs. I literally couldn't wait!

If You Can See The Invisible, You Can Do The Impossible
Being put on hold when you call a business can be frustrating but in the 1980's it was something new to Alan McGirvan who ran with the idea and the rewards continue to grow.
He may seem like an unlikely businessman, but the man who was the first breakfast show host on the station that became Triple J may well have been a dental assistant if his mother had her way.
Today Alan McGirvan runs the highly successful McGirvanmedia, a company based out of Toombul Shopping Centre in Brisbane's north that counts the likes of Qantas among its list of 600 clients.
It's a unique business model, using the voices of professionals in Australia to relay corporate messages that play when a customer is put on hold, or when a customer accesses a business via phone.
His company was born when McGirvan was on holiday in the US in the late '80s and was put on hold during a call for a tourist service.
A voice popped up with corporate messaging, and a light bulb went off for McGirvan. It was a revelation for the radio star who was once named Australian Radio Personality of the Year.
"When I brought it here in 1987 it didn't exist anywhere in Asia Pacific," he says.
"It's funny, a friend of mine said to me 'people throw the word around (a lot) but in French entrepreneur means builder, that's what you did, you took this from nothing and built it'."
It was a big risk for the Newcastle man who, according to his own mother, was not radio material. In fact, he started out his media life working as a television cameraman.
"I used to see guys doing voiceovers and it fascinated me … I got this fantastic motivational talk from my mother when I told her I'd like to be on radio one day. My mother said 'Alan, we love you, your father can get you an apprenticeship as a dental assistant'. I thought, watch me."
Having been in radio for about 15 years, including Double J in Sydney, McGirvan pivoted to his own business opening in the late '80s during a time he says was difficult in Australia for business.
"You don't become very, very, very good at something until you've done it for 10,000 hours. You can be a genius, you can be naturally talented, but until you've done it for 10,000 hours you haven't mastered it."
"I'd done radio for seven years, mostly in Newcastle. I had done my 10,000 hours."
Alan during his time as a radio DJ
So he started McGirvanmedia Messages on Hold out of his apartment in New Farm using a $20,000 business loan.
"My first employee was my sister-in-law Fiona, who was just 20 years old and is still with me today, nowadays as our financial controller," McGirvan says.
"It was a tough call to sell a product that nobody had really heard of, in an economy that was going downhill."
He says McGirvanmedia has since grown into the largest messages on hold or voice telephony company on Australia's east coast, and has sold licences in the UK, Asia, NZ and South Africa.
Its client list includes well known businesses such as Coca-Cola Amatil, McDonald's, BMW, BUPA, AMP, Citigroup, Aussie and RACV.
"We built it through a very difficult time of Paul Keating's disastrous recession he had to have," he says.
"Usually you learn from other people's mistakes, I had to learn from scratch.
"There was no one else doing it. I'm still amazed at how we did it.
"I think because it was unique. Before that they were only able to patch in radio or electronic music.
"That whole other channel just wasn't getting used.
"In the early days, those messages went out on endless loop cassette tapes.
"Imagine all those tapes going around, then the next generation was CD and now it's all digital.
"We pride ourselves on quality of our production and of course our service."
He says a key moment was when motivational speaker Jim Rohn told him, when the business was just getting started, that "if you can see the invisible, you can do the impossible".
The quote was something McGirvan went on to write on doors at his business.
In July this year, McGirvanmedia celebrated 30 years as a Qantas supplier, doing all voice overs for its call centres and corporate work.

"We have had quite a few clients for 25 years, like Citibank. We also have several more with over 15 years and over 10 years so we're doing something right," he says.
From the Toombul headquarters he employs 10 staff and has 16 freelancers on his books in Brisbane. But at any one time, there could be thousands of people listening to his voice or that of one of his freelancers, he says.
"It's just terrific, I started it here in the region and sold the licence in four countries. You call, get put on hold, and there's our message."
He has expanded to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and the business has grown to also include translation services.
"We have a dozen to 15 male and female voices, but with all our Asian translation, we guarantee the accent is perfect for the region. It's a very big issue."
Alan with some of McGirvanmedia's voiceover artists
He says being based in Brisbane has allowed him to tap into a wide range of talent from rival sides – something other cities can't offer.
"I could never get competing voiceover people in Sydney or Melbourne to come together," he says. "That situation could pretty much only occur in Brisbane. These guys are pros and many of them have been with me for over 20 years. They are competitors, but they are all friends."
He says keeping the talent happy and nurturing long relationships with his extensive client list is how he manages to stay relevant in the digital age.
"We are growing this amazing business, at a great rate, absolutely on referral. That's relationships, it's always about people. We make our clients our friends. They have a good experience with us and they tell their friends and colleagues."
He's even had corporate executives move jobs and call him at their next business for services. "In any business, if someone comes on referral the price takes a back seat. We work on simple monthly service fee. It's a very simple model," he says.
His next plan is to set up voice over schools for the next generation of stars firstly in Brisbane and then Melbourne. In the meantime he enjoys being recognised around town such as when he was in a lift at the Riverside Centre in Brisbane's CBD where his voice announces 'ground floor'.
"I was standing in the lift when my voice said 'ground floor' and this woman looks at me and says 'that's your voice isn't it?' She said 'didn't you used to be Alan McGirvan?' That's probably my story of the year."

Tak to jest z tym "zdrowym" fast foodem, że wcale nie jest taki "fast" jakby się można było spodziewać po nazwie. Po pierwsze w mojej kuchni nie ma miejsca na mięso, które przecież jest typowym składnikiem każdego burgera, więc szukanie zamiennika innego niż rzucające się od razu na myśl tofu może być nieco kłopotliwe. W poszukiwaniu idealnego kotleta przejrzałam mnóstwo różnych książek kucharskich i stron internetowych, ale największe uznanie zdobyły u mnie trzy zupełnie odmienne propozycje.

**Burger z buraka i fasoli**

Na tego kotleta natrafiłam w przywoływanej już na Blogu książce Kuchnia polska bez pszenicy. Burger jest przemyślany pod względem doprawienia, jednak trochę za suchy do bułki. Za pierwszym razem "farszu" wyszło mi tak dużo, że musieliśmy jeść kotlety dwa dni z rzędu, dzięki temu jednak spróbowaliśmy ich na dwa sposoby - w bułce i na talerzu z pieczonymi ziemniakami i sałatką. Druga propozycja podania w tym wypadku przypadła mi bardziej do gustu.

## Lista zakupów

* burak 200g
* czerwona fasola 80g (przed ugotowaniem)
* kasza jaglana 80g (suchej)
* siemię lniane 40g
* cebula ½ małej
* natka pietruszki ½ pęczka
* ocet winny 1 łyżka
* cząber 1 i ½ łyżeczki
* kumin 1 i ½ łyżeczki
* kozieradka ½ łyżeczki
* słodka papryka ½ łyżeczki
* ostra papryka 1 łyżeczka
* pieprz
* sól

Opcjonalnie:
* bułki do burgerów bezglutenowe/ziemniaki
* dodatki: pomidor, sałata, ogórek, cebula, awokado, sosy, ser żółty bez laktozy.

#### UWAGA! Dzień wcześniej trzeba namoczyć fasolę!

## Przepis

Fasolę gotujemy ok. 2h (aż będzie miękka w środku), na koniec gotowania solimy wodę. Buraki pieczemy w 200 stopniach pokrojone w plastry, studzimy, obieramy i kroimy. Gotujemy kaszę jaglaną, kroimy cebulę i natkę. Wszystkie składniki mieszamy i blendujemy (tu już raczej bez blendera się nie obejdziemy). Formujemy kotleciki i grilujemy na rozgrzanym grillu elektrycznym lub smażymy na patelni.

Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 2006 > January 2006 Decisions > G.R. No. 131397 - REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES v. HON. ANIANO DESIERTO:
[G.R. NO. 131397 - January 31, 2006]
(through the Presidential Commission on Good Government), Petitioner, v. HON. ANIANO DESIERTO, OMBUDSMAN, IMELDA R. MARCOS, LUCIO C. TAN, HARRY C. TAN, BENJAMIN S. JIMENEZ, LEONCIO M. GIRON, FERMIN O. HEBRON and JOEL C. IBAY (Members of the Board of Directors, Sipalay Corporation), DON M. FERRY (Former Member of the Board of Governors of the Development Bank of the Philippines) and ESTELA M. LADRIDO (then Acting Executive Officer of DBP), Respondents.
SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.:
For our resolution is the instant Petition for Certiorari and mandamus filed by the Republic of the Philippines, through the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG), against the above-named private respondents. Petitioner alleged that the Ombudsman acted with grave abuse of discretion in issuing his Resolution dated September 5, 1997 dismissing its (petitioner's) complaint for violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act No. 3019, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, against the above-named private respondents.
The facts of the case are not in dispute, thus:
In 1984, the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), a government-owned and controlled financial institution, found itself in dire financial straits. In order to address its liquidity problems, DBP decided to sell some of its assets. One of these was its equity holdings in the Maranao Hotel Resort Corporation (MHRC), which then owned the Century Park Sheraton Hotel in Manila. Accordingly, pursuant to its Resolution No. 1937 dated August 22, 1984, the DBP Board of Governors offered to sell the said shares for US$8.33 million (or P150 million at the exchange rate then prevailing) either on a cash basis or upon a down payment of thirty percent (30%) of the selling price, the balance payable for a term not longer than five (5) years, with an interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum.
Upon the recommendation of private respondent Maria Estela M. Ladrido, then Acting Executive Officer of the DBP, the Board of Governors approved the sale of the said equity holdings to PCI Management Consultants, Inc. (PCI), acting for an undisclosed foreign buyer, for US$8.4 million. However, the sale did not push through.
Meanwhile, Lucio Tan, one of the herein private respondents, wrote then President Ferdinand E. Marcos that he was interested in purchasing the equity holdings of DBP in the MHRC. Tan's written offer was supposedly found by the PCGG among the documents left behind by the Marcoses in Malacañang Palace when they fled during the EDSA revolution.
Lucio Tan set up the Sipalay Trading Corporation (STC) for the purpose of acquiring the DBP equity in the MHRC. At the time of its formation, STC had an authorized capital stock of P5 million. The stockholders were Leoncio M. Giron, Fred V. Fontanilla, Benjamin S. Jimenez, Fermin O. Hebron and Joel C. Ibay, also private respondents herein.
On January 30, 1985, STC offered to buy the DBP shareholdings in the MHRC for US$8.5 million. By that time, PCI, the former purchaser, had abandoned its negotiations with DBP.ςηαñrοblεš νιr†υαl lαω lιbrαrÿ
On March 1, 1985, DBP accepted STC's offer to buy. STC then made a deposit of US$1.7 million to be held in an escrow account. It was agreed that the balance would be payable within five (5) years. Eventually, STC paid the purchase price in full.
In charging herein private respondents with violation of R.A. No. 3019 (the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act), petitioner alleged that private respondents conspired and acted fraudulently in order to accumulate ill-gotten wealth to the prejudice of the government; and that they effected the sale of the P340.7 million equity holding of DBP in MHRC to STC, a newly-organized and undercapitalized firm, for only P150 million, a price grossly disadvantageous to the government.
In his counter-affidavit, Lucio Tan alleged that he has no participation in the negotiations with DBP for the purchase of its MHRC holdings nor in the execution of the contract; that it was STC which paid the agreed price; and that the new set of officials installed by the Aquino government in DBP found no deficiencies in the sale of its MHRC holdings.
For his part, private respondent Don M. Ferry alleged that it was the DBP Board of Governors which decided to sell its equity holdings to STC; that all the terms of the sale had been carefully studied by the bank's staff who acted in good faith and in accordance with sound business practices; and that he had no dealing with Lucio Tan or the Marcoses.
On September 5, 1997, the Ombudsman dismissed petitioner's complaint, finding that the acts of the DBP Board of Governors should "not be condemned as a crime but should even be lauded for their boldness in trying their very best to save not only Century Park Sheraton Hotel but DBP itself, and ultimately protected the interests of the government."1 The Ombudsman found no evidence of conspiracy among the private respondents and that the negotiations between STC and the DBP were aboveboard.
Hence, the instant petition anchored on this sole ground:
PETITIONER RESPECTFULLY SUBMITS THAT THE HON. ANIANO DESIERTO, OMBUDSMAN, COMMITTED GRAVE ABUSE OF DISCRETION AND ACTED WHIMSICALLY, CAPRICIOUSLY, ARBITRARILY AND OPPRESSIVELY IN DISMISSING THE COMPLAINT DESPITE CLEAR FACTS INFERRING THAT RESPONDENTS ACTING IN CONSPIRACY CAUSED UNDUE INJRUY TO THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH MANIFEST PARTIALITY, EVIDENT BAD FAITH OR GROSS INEXCUSIBLE NEGLIGENCE.2
The only issue before us is whether the Ombudsman committed grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction in dismissing petitioner's complaint for lack of probable cause.
Section 3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Practices Act provides:
SEC. 3. Corrupt practices of public officers. - In addition to acts or omissions of public officers already penalized by existing law, the following shall constitute corrupt practices of any public officer and are hereby declared to be unlawful:
(e) Causing any undue injury to any party, including the Government, or giving any private party any unwarranted benefits, advantage, or preference in the discharge of his official, administrative or judicial functions through manifest partiality, evident bad faith or gross inexcusable negligence. This provision shall apply to officers and employees of offices or government corporations charged with the grant of licenses or permits or other concessions.
The elements of the crime charged are: ςηαñrοblεš νιr†υαl lαω lιbrαrÿ
(a) The accused is a public officer or a private person charged in conspiracy with the former;
(b) The said public officer commits the prohibited acts during the performance of his or her official duties or in relation to his or her public position;
(c) That he or she causes undue injury to any party, whether the government or a private party;
(d) Such undue injury is caused by giving unwarranted benefits, advantage, or preference to such parties; andcralawlibrary
(e) That the public officer has acted with manifest partiality, evident bad faith, or gross inexcusable negligence.3
From the foregoing, it may be inferred that there are two modes of committing the offense, thus: (1) the public officer caused any undue injury to any party, including the government; or (2) the public officer gave any private party unwarranted benefits, advantage or preference in the discharge of his functions.4 An accused may be charged under either mode5 or under both should both modes concur.6
There is no question that private respondents here are either officers of DBP, a government-owned and controlled financial institution, or private persons. But did the DBP cause injury to the Government or give a private party unwarranted benefits or preference in the discharge of its functions?cralawlibrary
In addressing this question, we consider the prevailing conditions at the time of the sale in 1984, as found by the Ombudsman.
Following the assassination of former Senator Benigno Aquino in August 1983, a deepening socio-economic crisis casts its shadow over this country. The stability of the Marcos regime was in doubt and the economy was in doldrums. Government financial institutions, such as the DBP, found themselves mired in liquidity problems. To remain solvent, DBP had to take the drastic step of unloading its shareholdings in seven (7) five-star hotels in Metro Manila, including the Century Park Sheraton Hotel. The shares of DBP in MHRC, which owned the Century Park Sheraton Hotel, carried a book value at P340.7 million. However, these shares were saddled with uncollected interests, penalties, and surcharges, which made it difficult to offer them for sale. After the study and evaluation conducted by the DBP staff, they recommended that those shares should be sold for at least P150 million. The DBP Board of Governors adopted the recommendation. There were no offers, aside from that of PCI, until STC came along. The DBP Board of Governors then accepted the offer of STC to buy the shares. These findings of the Ombudsman are not disputed by petitioner.
Under the circumstances then prevailing, the private respondent DBP officers, in selling's shares to STC, acted in good faith and sound exercise of judgment. Significantly, the selling price agreed upon by DBP and STC was virtually the same figure approved by the DBP Board of Governors.
We agree with the Ombudsman that in approving the sale of the shareholdings, private respondent DBP officials did not give "unwarranted benefits, advantage, or preference" to STC. It should be recalled that at the time of the sale, PCI had already abandoned its negotiations with DBP. STC was the only entity which expressed an interest in acquiring the shares of DBP. There is thus no showing that private respondent DBP officials favored STC over other bidders or prospective buyers. Indeed, there can be no manifest partiality to speak of when DBP accepted the offer of STC.
Likewise, evident bad faith cannot be imputed to the private respondents. Bad faith "does not simply connote bad judgment or negligence; it imputes a dishonest purpose or some moral obliquity and conscious doing of a wrong; a breach of sworn duty through some motive or intent or ill will; it partakes of the nature of a fraud."7 In short, it is a manifest deliberate intent on the part of the accused to do wrong or to cause damage. There is nothing on record to show that private respondent DBP officials were spurred by any corrupt motive or that they received any material benefit from the sale of the DBP shareholdings to STC.
As a general rule, this Court will not interfere with the investigatory and prosecutorial powers of the Ombudsman without any compelling reason.8 However, this non-interference does not apply when there is grave abuse of discretion in the exercise of its discretion.9 By grave abuse of discretion is meant "such capricious and whimsical exercise of judgment which is equivalent to an excess or lack of jurisdiction. The abuse of discretion must be so patent and so gross as to amount to an evasion of a positive duty or a virtual refusal to perform a duty enjoined by law, or to act at all in contemplation of law as where power is exercised in an arbitrary and despotic manner by reason of passion or hostility."10
In the case at bar, we hold that the Ombudsman committed no grave abuse of discretion in finding that there was no probable cause against the private respondents to hold them liable for violation of Section 3(e), R.A. No. 3019. Probable cause signifies a reasonable ground of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strong in themselves to warrant a cautious man's belief that the person accused is guilty of the offense with which he is charged.11 The grounds for suspicion must be reasonable and supported by sufficiently strong circumstances.12 As previously discussed, the Ombudsman correctly found that some of the essential elements of the offense charged are not present. Verily, we cannot attribute any arbitrariness or despotism to him.ςηαñrοblεš νιr†υαl lαω lιbrαrÿ
WHEREFORE, the petition is DISMISSED. The Resolution of the Ombudsman dated September 5, 1997 dismissing petitioner's complaint against private respondents in OMB Case No. 0-91-0382 is AFFIRMED. No costs.

Q: How to pass extra arguments to callback register functions with twisted python api? I have the following python code using the twisted API.
def function(self,filename):
    def results(result):
       //do something
    for i in range(int(numbers)) :
        name = something that has to do with the value of i
        df = function_which_returns_a defer(name)
        df.addCallback(results)

It uses the Twisted API. What i want to achieve is to pass to the callbacked function (results) the value of the name which is constructed in every iteration without changing the content of the functions_which_returns_a defer() function along with the deferred object of course. In every result of the functions_which_returns_a deffer the value of the name should be passed to results() to do something with this. I.e: at the first iteration when the execution reach the results function i need the function hold the result of the deffered object along with the value of name when i=0,then when i=1 the defered object will be passed with the value of name, and so on.So i need every time the result of the defer object when called with the name variable alond with the name variable. When i try to directly use the value of nameinside results() it holds always the value of the last iteration which is rationale, since function_which_returns_a defer(name) has not returned.

A: You can pass extra arguments to a Deferred callback at the Deferred.addCallback call site by simply passing those arguments to Deferred.addCallback:
def function(self,filename):
    def results(result, name):
       # do something
    for i in range(int(numbers)) :
        name = something that has to do with the value of i
        df = function_which_returns_a defer(name)
        df.addCallback(results, name)

You can also pass arguments by keyword:
        df.addCallback(results, name=name)

All arguments passed like this to addCallback (or addErrback) are passed on to the callback function.

British police arrest teenager suspected of Uber, GTA 6 hack • TechCrunch
by Arthur · January 12, 2023
Police in London have confirmed that a 17-year-old teenager, who is suspected of involvement in high-profile breaches of giant Uber and Rockstar Games, has been charged with multiple counts of computer misuse and breaching bail.
The suspect, whose name was not released due to UK reporting restrictions on identifying non-adults, was arrested in Oxfordshire on September 22 as part of an investigation by the City of London Police, which focuses primarily on financial crime, and supported by Britain's National Crime Agency.
"Police in London arrested a 17-year-old in Oxfordshire [on September 22] on suspicion of hacking, as part of an investigation supported by the National Crime Agency's (NCA) National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU)," said Detective Inspector Michael O'Sullivan of the City of London Police's Cyber Crime Unit. – He has been charged in connection with this investigation and is still in police custody.
Police declined to say what incident the teenager's arrest was related to.
Uber said last week it believes a hacker affiliated with the Lapsus$ hacking group was responsible for the recent cyberattack, which forced the company to take several of its internal tools offline while it expelled the hacker from the network. The transportation giant said the breach may have been carried out by the same hacker who also hacked Rockstar Games, the video game publisher behind the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, resulting in the release of dozens of videos containing unreleased footage and gameplay.
Several posts on GTAForums, an online fan forum for the Grand Theft Auto franchise, by a user who goes by the handle "teapotuberhacker," claimed to be the same person responsible for Uber's breach.

While the teenager's identity remains unknown – and likely will for many months – the latest charges are believed to be linked to earlier arrests in March, which saw City of London police arresting seven people aged between 16 and 21 for suspected links to the Lapsus$ hacking group . Lapsus$ was blamed for breaches at Okta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Samsung earlier this year.
Several of the arrested persons were released on bail under certain conditions.
At the time, Bloomberg reported that a then 16-year-old teenager based in Oxfordshire, UK was suspected of being the mastermind of the Lapsus$ hacking group. Four researchers who investigated the gang's recent hacks said they believed the teenager, who uses the online name "White" or "Breachbase," was a leading figure in Lapsus$. Bloomberg tracked down the suspected hacker after his personal information was doxxed online, allegedly by rival hackers.

解析库 > The Princeton Review
According to the passage, the musical contributions of Polish women have been neglected due to
题目来源1 : The Princeton Review
Women played a substantial role in the furthering of the Polish art song in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. One notable woman from this time period was Maria Szymanowska, who was both a concert pianist and a composer.
Szymanowska was a member of the Warsaw Music Society who contributed pieces to a cycle entitled Historical Songs. Her songs are by far the most creative and individualistic of the cycle. In addition, Szymanowska composed more than one hundred other pieces, mostly for the piano, including six romances.
Her songs most resemble French romances, and she also employs Polonaise rhythms in two of her songs. In all her works, the melodic line is technically superior. She employs idiomatic keyboard writing, wide chord-spacing, broad cantilenas, and interesting modulations. She also uses the most compelling registers of the instrument and pianistic keys. Her romances are on par with those of Beethoven, Schubert, and Mozart. In fact, Szymanowska was praised by her contemporaries, such as Schumann, who lauded her etudes. Her piano playing was frequently equated to that of Hummel, though Szymanowska's was said to be more ethereal. Thus, she is a progenitor of Chopin in both piano technique and composition.
Female contributors to the development of Polish music have been chiefly ignored. From the meager records which have been preserved, it is incontrovertible that Polish women were, in fact, playing, instructing, and writing music as early as the fifteenth century. However, patriarchal societal structures have precluded adequate documentation about, and preservation of, their work. Unless changes take place, human society will be made poorer for its inability to recognize the expertise and inventiveness of these women.
Aan absence of any documentation of the efforts of female composers
Bimproper preservation of musical scores produced by women
Cthe male-dominated social order that has existed since at least the fifteenth centuiy
Dsociety willfully ignoring the talent and hard work of female composers
Ethe fact that people did not realize the genius and creativity of female composers

Time's a healer, but art doesn't half help, too. Arriving three and a half years after bassist Gerard Smith's death from lung cancer at a crushingly young 36, TV On The Radio's fifth studio album could be forgiven for drawing inspiration from the darker side of the emotional spectrum. But, in reality, 'Seeds' is a happier, shinier set than most will have been predicting.
It doesn't exactly explode, firework-like, into life – but then, TVOTR are rarely ones to quicken pulses right out the blocks. They've always been at their best when adopting the slow-build approach to anthems, and opener 'Quartz' certainly doesn't represent a shift beyond third gear for these musicians. 'Careful You' is comparably measured, an electronic pulse forming its central spine for lyrics en français to sing of long-held love, of learning the "secret of a kiss". It's a tender but oddly cold number, open but distant, like the photo of a loved one just out of focus.
'Happy Idiot' (video below), 'Winter' and 'Love Stained' are more dynamic affairs. The first is something of a flashback to indie disco floor-fillers around the time of the first Bloc Party album, busy percussion and easy vocal hooks matched by barbed riffs that successfully dig in on their first fly by. It's a little by-numbers, perhaps, and doesn't stretch any real creative muscles – but it is the sound of this band enjoying themselves within comfortable parameters, and the energy here is undeniably infectious.
'Seeds' isn't dwelling in the sadness of the past, then, but pointing the way towards the next phase of this band's evolution – not up there with its makers' very best releases, but a welcome indication that they still absolutely mean business. They've lost a dear friend but they're not afraid of the future, and the album's title itself should serve as promise of further greatness to come from this essential band.


"You're going to walk out of here."
Gladys Freed heard that message from Vibhav Bansal, MD (pictured), and was able to walk out of the hospital. She says getting to the hospital fast when she had a stroke helped save her life.
F. Face: Is the face drooping during a smile?
A. Arms: Will both arms raise to the same height?
T. Time: Call 911 immediately.
Thanks to quick action last summer, Freed is back to an active lifestyle. "I play golf, euchre and bridge with my friends, and I am enjoying my life," she concluded.

Ana Brnabić (, ; born 28 September 1975) is a Serbian politician serving as the prime minister of Serbia since 2017. She is the first woman and first openly gay person to hold the office.

She entered government as the minister of public administration and local self-government from 11 August 2016 until 29 June 2017, under Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić and Acting Prime Minister Ivica Dačić. In this role, Brnabić initiated reforms of central government services in Serbia.

After he was inaugurated as the president of Serbia on 31 May 2017, Vučić proposed Brnabić as his successor in June 2017. Prime Minister Brnabić and her cabinet were voted into office on 29 June 2017 by a majority of 157 out of 250 Members of the National Assembly of Serbia. Elected as a non-partisan politician, she joined the ruling Serbian Progressive Party in 2019, and was subsequently elected as vice president in 2021.

In 2019, Brnabić was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 88th most powerful woman in the world and as the 19th most powerful female political and policy leader. Some observers believe that she has no political power in line with the constitutional role of chief of the executive, arguing instead that Vučić wields power in his capacity as the president.

Early and personal life
Brnabić was born in Belgrade. Her father Zoran was born in Užice in 1950 and finished his studies in Belgrade, where the family lived. Her paternal grandfather Anton Brnabić, an ethnic Croat Yugoslav military officer, was born in Stara Baška on the Croatian island of Krk, in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, (present-day Croatia). He fought with the Yugoslav Partisans during World War II and was ranked lieutenant colonel after the war. Her maternal grandparents are from Babušnica, southeastern Serbia. Brnabić declared herself a Serb.

Brnabić is a lesbian, the second female LGBT head of government in the world following Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir (Iceland 2009–13), and fifth openly LGBT head of government overall following , Elio Di Rupo (Belgium 2011–14), Xavier Bettel (Luxembourg 2013–present), and Leo Varadkar (Ireland 2017–20). In 2017, she became the first head of government to attend a gay pride march when she attended the Belgrade Pride.

In 2019, her partner Milica Đurđić gave birth to a boy; Brnabić is the first openly gay prime minister whose partner gave birth while the prime minister was in office.

Education and business career
Brnabić was raised in Belgrade, Serbia, where she attended the prestigious Belgrade Fifth Gymnasium. In addition to her Serbian education, Brnabić holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) diploma of Northwood University, Michigan, USA, and an MBA of the University of Hull, England, UK, and worked for over a decade with international organizations, foreign investors, local self-government units, and the public sector in Serbia.

Prior to Brnabić's appointment to the Government of Serbia, she was director of Continental Wind Serbia, where she worked on the implementation of the investment of €300 million into a windpark in Kovin. She was a member of the managing board of the non-profit foundation Peksim.

She has been engaged in different US consulting companies that implemented USAID-financed projects in Serbia. She was deputy manager of the Serbia Competitiveness Project, the expert on the Local Self-government Reform Program in Serbia and the senior coordinator of the Program of Economic Development of Municipalities. She was active in the foundation of the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED) in 2006. During that engagement, she participated in the introduction of the concept of local economic development in Serbia and building of potentials of municipalities to improve the business environment at the local level with active promotion of investments. She became a member, and thereafter the president, of the managing board of NALED.

Politics

In August 2016, she was appointed as the Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government. In addition, she is the president of the Council for Innovative Entrepreneurship and Information Technologies of the Government of Serbia, as well as of the Republic Council for National Minorities and the vice president of the Republic Council for Public Administration Reform.

Brnabić described herself as a pro-European and technocratic prime minister. She explained that the priorities for her government are modernization, education reform and digitization. On the other hand, she has been criticised because she is the head of a conservative and nationalist government which also includes openly anti-Western and pro-Russian ministers.

In May 2018, Brnabić took over the Ministry of Finance until the new Minister was appointed, following the resignation of Dušan Vujović. On 29 May 2018, she appointed Siniša Mali as Vujović's successor on that position. On 26 July 2018, Brnabić hosted a ceremony at the United States Congress in Washington, which was held to mark the 100th anniversary of raising the Serbian flag in front of the White House.

In October 2019, the Prime Minister confirmed she had joined the ruling Serbian Progressive Party. On 25 October 2019, Brnabić signed a Free Trade Agreement between Serbia and the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), extending the list of Serbian products that can be exported to the EAEU territory.

After the COVID-19 pandemic spread to Serbia in March 2020, Brnabić was appointed for the head of the Health Crisis Committee. After president Vučić declared a state of emergency on 15 March, the government issued regulations on measures during a state of emergency with the aim of suppressing the consequences of the outbreak. A curfew was introduced for the first time in Serbia since World War II. Brnabić was elected as vice president of SNS in November 2021. Her third cabinet was elected on 26 October 2022.

Debate on constitutional roles

Political scientist Krzysztof Zuba listed Brnabić as an example of head of government with extensive political dependence on a leader of the governing party. He defined a situation in which the Prime Minister does not have their own political position as the chief of the executive as a "surrogate government", explaining that a distribution of power that is contrary to constitutional determinants is a characteristic of non-democratic systems.

In February 2019, Freedom House reported that Serbia's status declined from Free to Partly Free due to deterioration in the conduct of elections, continued attempts by the government and allied media outlets to undermine independent journalists through legal harassment and smear campaigns, and Vučić's accumulation of executive powers that conflict with his constitutional role. Opposition leaders and some observers describe her as a mere puppet of Vučić, whose presidency, according to the Constitution, is largely ceremonial with no significant executive power. Brnabić never denied this, and even said that Vučić should act as a "mentor" of the prime minister.

Kosovo

In December 2018, commenting on the announced transformation of the Kosovo Security Force into the Kosovo Armed Forces, Brnabić said: "I hope we won't have to use our military, but at the moment, that's one of the options on the table because one cannot witness a new ethnic cleansing of the Serbs and new Storms — although Edi Rama is calling for them. When someone knows you have a strong army, then they have to sit down and talk to you."

In addition, in May 2019, Foreign Minister of Kosovo Behgjet Pacolli said that he would not allow Brnabić to enter Kosovo because of what she said is her racist ideology. Brnabić, during the handover of a European Commission 2019 progress report, said: "Haradinaj, Thaçi and Veseli are competing to see who the biggest nationalist and chauvinist is. What scares me most is that we are dealing with irrational people, the worst kind of populist, people who literally walked out of the woods." This was met with strong criticism, particularly by Twitter users, who campaigned with the hashtag #literallyjustemergedfromthewoods in order to mock the Prime Minister.

On 20 January 2020, the governments of Serbia and Kosovo agreed to restore flights between their capitals for the first time in more than two decades. The deal came after months of diplomatic talks by Richard Grenell, the United States ambassador to Germany, who was named special envoy for Serbian-Kosovar relations by President Donald Trump the year before.

Srebrenica genocide remarks
In an interview on 14 November 2018 with the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Brnabić denied that the July 1995 massacres of Bosniaks by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica had been an act of genocide. Two weeks later, the European Parliament adopted a resolution saying that the parliament regretted the continuing denial of the Srebrenica genocide by parts of the Serbian authorities and recalled that full cooperation with the ICTY and its successor mechanism included accepting its judgements. The Hague Court criticised Brnabić for denial of the Srebrenica genocide.

LGBT rights

After she was appointed prime minister, Brnabić said that she did not want to be branded Serbia's gay prime minister and that she did not plan "to push LGBT legal reforms at this stage" because she wanted to prioritise other policy reforms. In September 2017, Brnabić took part in the pride parade in Belgrade and became the first Serbian prime minister to attend a pride parade. At the event, Brnabić said: "The government is here for all citizens and will secure the respect of rights for all citizens."

Brnabić says that she advocates inheritance rights of same-sex couples. In February 2019, Milica Đurđić, Brnabić's partner, gave birth to a son named Igor, but same-sex marriage is constitutionally banned and LGBT parenting is not regulated in Serbia. According to Agence France-Presse, "Ana Brnabić is one of the first prime ministers whose partner has given birth while in office... and the first in the world in a same-sex couple". Some journalists and LGBT activists have concluded that Brnabić has failed to advocate for LGBT equality in Serbia.

Awards
She has been awarded a number of plaudits for the development projects on which she worked, for the promotion of socially accountable business operation and tolerance. She has been awarded the Order of the Republika Srpska.

Album Review: Tonight Alive - What Are You So Scared Of?
Tonight Alive's biography on their own website claims that "What really lifts Tonight Alive above another female-fronted pop-rock band is their muscular musicality, a deft sense of dynamic, a way of shifting seamlessly from the big riffs and breakdowns, to allow space and the sensibility of Jenna's sweetly sung melodies to shine through." A statement that in all honesty is untrue. What Tonight Alive have here with their debut album "What Are You So Scared Of" is a pop/rock album that while it's an absolutely solid release, isn't anything that you'll never have heard before.
That might read as a negative, but it's not, as mentioned, it is a solid release, Jenna McDougall's vocals; while inevitably comparable to those of Hayley Williams, do actually stand out as a massive strong point for the album. "Sure As Hell" shows them off wonderfully: intertwining between the higher and lower registers, the song as a whole is probably the best on the album despite close competition from "Starlight" while honorable mentions go to "Amelia" thanks to its absolutely massive chorus. It's a song that proves that the band can consistently write good songs if they put their mind to it.
The main problem "What Are You So Scared Of?" has is that it's just too long, no debut album needs to be fourteen songs long, it should be short, snappy and to the point, something that announces your arrival, not a fourteen track album of which around 40% is just filler material that'd be served better as a b-side.
Tonight Alive are a fun band, and when they're good, they're very good, but they will need to follow up this album with an absolute blinder to stay relevant otherwise they'll just end up on top of the big pile of those gone before them.
'What Are You So Scared Of?' is out early-2012 through Fearless Records.

Last Wednesday I was honored to take part on a panel discussing game design paper prototyping that was moderated by International Game Developer Association Los Angeles chapter president Brandii Grace and hosted by the New York Film Academy. My fellow panelists were video game designer, former Imagineer and current NYFA instructor Scott Walker and former Schell Games narrative and content designer, Women in Gaming's Rising Star Award winner, and IGF Narrative Excellence in 2016 Honorable Mention honoree Heidi McDonald.
Here is an edited transcript of our talk.
Brandii Grace: What are the benefits of prototyping a video game?
David Mullich: There are a number of benefits. Often we will prototype a video game before bringing on expensive programmers and artists. Doing game designs on paper first allows team members who aren't technical to participate in the game design process by using graph paper, coins, readily available dice and stuff. And because it's inexpensive to implement designs with these items, it allows you to make changes, to test ideas, to experiment a bit more because you aren't worried about the expense of a programmer's time. It allows you to really test out your design and rules before they're implemented.
Brandii: I'll back this up by saying that at this point, prototype changes are quick, easing and cheap, but a while later they are hard, slow and expensive.
Scott Rogers: Think about how easy it is to throw away a paper and start over again, versus communicating your idea to another human being and getting them to understand it, having them start work on it, and then coming back later and saying, "No, no, that's not at all what I wanted." That's the worst way to work that I've found. Now, just to expand the definition of paper prototyping, from my experience, paper prototyping is done a number of different ways. The way that I think that most people understand it is as simple as making a map, getting some graph paper, and knowing the scale of your character in relation to the world you want to make, and just drawing it out — even if you don't have any art skills — you can get a ruler and draw a straight line that way. You can make a map to communicate your ideas. Of course, the more creative, the more information you provide to your fellow teammates, the better the ideas will come across. So that's one way of doing it.
Another way of doing it is to literally build the game in paper or some other medium. One of my favorite examples is Hideo Kojima. For Metal Gear Solid he prototyped his entire first game out of Legos. He built the entire game in Legos first, they figured out where they wanted everything to go, and then they took pictures of it and handed it off to the artists, saying, "This is what we're going to build." So, when you say "paper", it doesn't have to be paper. I've prototyped in Lego, I've prototyped in clay, I've prototyped in different media — Sketch Up and things like that, so there are many ways of skinning this cat.
Heidi McDonald: I've also noticed that when you've got these ideas in your head, you're a game designer and you're game is going to be this and this and this, and your players are going to have this great opportunity, you notice very quickly when you're doing a paper prototype the different between what's in your head and what happens when the player is actually moving through your experience. It's tough to catch the glitches. You've got this experience going on in your head, and what you thought would be really cool, you see that for one reason or another, it doesn't work the way you thought it would work. Maybe the player didn't understand it, or maybe you didn't balance things correctly. And those are really important things to catch before your game launches. It helps to know before going into the production process that your mechanics can stand up.
Scott: It's also the connection of everything together. You have to all your maps laid out, and you realize your level isn't fitting together. Now, back in the ancient days when I was making video games, we had to worry about that because everything was loaded in individually. But now you can make an entire structure, building, gameplay environment that lives in one file, and so if you do this on paper first, you understand the relationships. Anything from the physical space to systems.
I am a video game producer who has worked at Activision, Disney, Cyberdreams, EduWare, The 3DO Company and the Spin Master toy company. I am currently a game design and production consultant, a game design instructor at ArtCenter College of Design, board member of the International Game Developers Association's Los Angeles chapter, and co-creator of the Boy Scouts of America Game Design Merit Badge. At the 2014 Gamification World Congress in Barcelona, I was rated the 14th ranking "Gamification Guru" in social media.
