Philippines drugs war: United Nations votes to investigate killings
by Jerome Frank
The UN Human Rights Council voted on Thursday to set up an investigation into mass killings during Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's so-called war on drugs, a step activists said was long overdue.
Amnesty International hailed Thursday's vote as "crucial". But nongovernment groups claim a much higher death toll, including many suspects killed by motorcycle-riding gunmen who human rights groups suspect were deployed by police.
"Do not presume to threaten states with accountability for a tough approach to crushing crime" in which some countries were complicit and others tolerant, he said. "Ask the people, if I am the face of war, why did they make me win as a senator?"
The delegation from the Philippines, which is among the council's 47 members, had lobbied hard against the resolution, which asks national authorities to prevent extrajudicial killings and co-operate with United Nations human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, who is expected to report her findings in June 2020.
Since taking office in 2016, the president has waged a campaign against drugs that has killed thousands and been condemned by human rights advocates.
"Come here and cut my head off if these alleged extrajudicial killings were state-sponsored", dela Rosa said.
Locsin added that in light of this resolution, which was backed by several countries the Philippines considers allies including the United Kingdom and Australia, the foreign policy of the Philippines had shifted from "friend to all, enemy to none" to "friend to friends, enemy to enemies, and a worse enemy to false friends".
Before making a decision, the 47 countries took more than two weeks, from June 24 to July 12 to thoroughly discuss the resolution.
He also tagged the nations who supported the resolution as "dangerous drugs tolerant". "The resolution is grotesquely one-sided, outrageously narrow and maliciously biased", said Panelo last night. "It reeks of nauseating politics completely devoid of respect for the sovereignty of our country, even as it is bereft of the gruesome realities of the drug menace in the country", Panelo said.

As stated on their website, the resolution was just one of the many reports the representatives discussed on the latest session.
The bishop said it is only fitting that the global body look into the controversial campaign of the government against illegal drugs.
It also hopes the government will allow its representatives to visit the country without acts of intimidation.
The resolution, which was mostly backed by countries from Europe, necessarily pushes the Philippine government to prevent more extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.
The local human rights agency said government officials should cooperate with the council rather than threaten it.
The first resolution on the Philippines, led by Iceland, was adopted by a vote of 18 countries in favour and 14 against, including China.
President Rodrigo Duterte, meanwhile, said that the future investigation will not prosper.
President Rodrigo Duterte is also amenable to the possible visit and investigation of worldwide rights defenders as long as their goal is legitimate.

A dicső forradalom () 1868-ban zajlott Spanyolországban, és eredményeképpen megfosztották trónjától II. Izabella királynőt. A forradalom vezetői végül egy herceget is szereztek, Savoyai Amadét, akiből spanyol király lett. Uralma két évig tartott, és az első spanyol köztársaság váltotta fel. Az szintén két évig létezett, míg a vezetők 1875-ben kikiáltották Izabella fiát, XII. Alfonzt királlyá, megvalósítva ezzel a Bourbon-ház restaurálását.

Háttér
Egy 1866-os lázadás, amit Juan Prim vezetett és a testőrök lázadása a San Gil laktanyában, Madridban, mind egy-egy jelzés volt a spanyol liberálisoknak és republikánusoknak, hogy komoly nyugtalanság van a társadalomban, amit ki lehetne használni, ha megfelelően irányítanának. A liberális és republikánus száműzöttek egyességeket kötöttek Ostendben (ma Belgium) 1866-ban és Brüsszelben 1867-ben. Ezek az egyezmények fektették le egy nagy forradalom kereteit, ebben az esetben nem csak hogy leváltsák a miniszterelnököt egy liberálissal, hanem hogy megbuktassák II. Izabellát, akinek személyében látták Spanyolország problémáinak forrását.

A királynő folyamatos ingadozása a liberális és konzervatív csoportok közt 1868-ig, felháborította a mérsékelteket, a haladókat és a Liberális Unió tagjait. Uralma elleni ellenállás fejlődött mozgalommá és átlépte a pártok határait. Leopoldo O'Donnell 1867-es halála a Liberális Uniót arra késztette, hogy felbomoljon. Sok támogatója, akik eredetileg átlépve a párthatárokat megalakították a pártot, csatlakoztak a dagadó mozgalomhoz Izabella hatalmának megdöntésére egy hatékonyabb rendszer érdekében.

A forradalom
1868 szeptemberében Juan Bautista Topete admirális tengerészei fellázadtak Cádizban. Ez ugyanazon város, ahol fél évszázada Rafael del Riego indított puccsot Izabella apja ellen.

Amikor Prim és Francisco Serrano tábornokok megbuktatták a kormányt, a hadsereg java része átállt a forradalmi tábornokok oldalára, mikor azok megérkeztek Spanyolországba. A királynő egy röpke erőfitogtatást mutatott be az Alcoleai csatában, ahol a lojális tábornokok Manuel Pavia vezetése alatt vereséget szenvedtek Serrano tábornok csapataitól.

1868-ban Izabella királynő Franciaországba menekült és visszavonult a spanyol politika eseményei elől Párizsba. Ott élt száműzetésben haláláig 1904-ben.

A forradalmi szellem éppen megfosztotta trónjától a spanyol kormányt, azonban hiányzott az irányzat. A liberálisoknak, mérsékelteknek és republikánusoknak szembe kellett nézni a hatalmas feladattal, egy olyan kormányt alakítani, amely jobban szolgálja érdekeiket, mint Izabella tette. Baldomero Espertero önkényuralmával szemben a kormányzás ellenőrzése Francisco Serrano kezébe került, aki kitervezte ezt a forradalmat. A cortes eleinte elutasította a köztársaság eszméjét, ezért Serranot nevezték ki helytartónak, míg elkezdtek megfelelő uralkodót keresni. 1869-ben a Cortes kihirdetett egy liberális alkotmányt, az első hasonló alkotmányt Spanyolországban 1812 óta.

A megfelelő király megtalálása gondokat okozott a Cortesnek. A republikánusok többsége elfogadhatónak talált volna egy királyt, aki tehetséges lett volna és ragaszkodott volna az alkotmányhoz. Prim, egy örökös lázadó Izabella rendszere ellen, lett a régens 1869-ben.a koros Espartero felmerült, mint egy lehetőség, akinek még mindig jelentős befolyása volt a haladók között. Annak ellenére, hogy visszautasította a királyi címet, mégis 8 szavazatot kapott a végső szavazáson. Számosan Izabella kiskorú fiát, Alfonzt javasolták, de sokan úgy gondolták, hogy anyja befolyása alá kerülhetett volna és örökölhette volna hibáit. A Szász-Coburg-házból származó Ferdinánd, a szomszédos Portugália hajdani régense, szintén szóba került. A politikusok attól féltek, hogy Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Lipót herceg jelölése porosz–francia háborúhoz vezetne.

1870 augusztusában a választás egy olasz hercegre, Savoyai Amadére esett. Ő II. Viktor Emánuel olasz király fiatalabb fia volt, akinek személye kevesebb politikai komplikációt jelentett, mint a német, vagy francia trónigénylő és liberális támogatással is bírt. Őt választották tehát meg I. Amadé néven Spanyol királynak 1870. november 3-án.

November 27-én szállt partra Cartagenában, ugyanazon a napon, amikor meggyilkolták Juan Primet, mikor elhagyta a Cortes épületét. Amadeo megesküdött a tábornok sírja felett, hogy betartja a spanyol alkotmányt. Két évig uralkodott, mígnem a pártok meg nem alakították az első spanyol köztársaságot. Az is csak két évig létezett. Semmilyen politikai erő nem akarta visszaállítani II. Izabella királynő hatalmát, ehelyett a Cortes 1875-ben kikiáltotta Izabella fiát, XII. Alfonzt királynak.

Q: How to resolve Error: 1418 in sql server while mirroring  I am trying to mirroring a database in sql server. I created a database and took a backup of it and restored on the another server. But after doing all operations and click on start mirroring, then it showing following error. I put "NO" to Witness server option.
I followed mirroring steps in this link Here it says, create an user on both principal and mirror server with the same credentials in STEP 3. Is it necessary to create same user on both servers? or any alternate solution is there?

A: Same problem , error 1418. Did everything suggested here: link
In hindsight it was obvious. When completing the MIRRORING > CONFIGURE SECURITY WIZARD you get a page explaining the results. Looking at SQL1 and SQL2 nodes this line was the key:
On the principal server instance, SQL1
Listener Port: 5022
Encryption: **Yes**

On the mirror server instance, SQL2
Listener Port: 5022
Encryption: **No**

Solution. After finishing the wizard on all SQL nodes execute:
drop endpoint Mirroring
go

CREATE ENDPOINT Mirroring
STATE = STARTED
AS TCP ( LISTENER_PORT = 5022 )
FOR DATABASE_MIRRORING
(ENCRYPTION = DISABLED,ROLE=ALL)
GO

Hit start mirroring, problem solved.
Hope that helps someone
Scott

A: I also faced same problem. you need to check the following items once.

*

*Goto services.msc and check the sql server is running under which account. Make sure that sql server and sql server agent services should run with same credentials.

*in the mirror database server you should do the same step as step 1. Give the same credentials as in principal server. If that user is not present create a new one on the both servers with same credentials.

*Now got principal server and in sql server add the new login under Security-->Login. Give the server roles as Sysadmin and public. Add the same user on the mirror server also.

*Now do the mirror in the principal database. You did not get any error there.

A: After exhausting all the options as mentioned above, I had a variation to the mirroring environment. We had a SQL server 2008 contributing to 2014 Server in Principal-Mirror configuration.  The 2014 Sql server was also being used in AlwaysOn config for HA of some other Db's.  The end points are now named differently on sql 2008 and sql 2014.
After getting the above mentioned error, I found that the Encryption for 2008 is RC4 and that for 2014 is AES. As a result, it was failing handshake with the SQL2014 endpoint. I changed the encryption to match that of the SQL 2008 using the below command and viola!!
ALTER ENDPOINT [Hadr_endpoint]
    FOR DATA_MIRRORING ( ENCRYPTION  = REQUIRED ALGORITHM RC4 )

A: You also may not be leaving the copy intended for mirroring in a restore state, which it must be left in to turn on mirroring.
Typically, the procedure for SQL Server mirroring is:
1) Backup the original database and copy it to the server intended for mirroring.
2) Backup the transaction log and copy it to the server intended for mirroring.
3) Chose restore database from the MMC and locate the backup of the database and restore it with options set to leave in non-functioning state with no rollback of transactions.
4) Chose restore and chose files and then select log files and restore the log file backup also with the option of no rolloback and non-functioning. It is the second radio button down under the options page on sql server 2008.
5) go to the original database copy server and turn on mirroring. You will need to use an account that has sysadmin rights on both servers for the mirroring conversations to start up.

A: I met this issue before, all the validation pass.
Use a new endpoint at last, it works.
The root cause is 5022 may block other session.

A: My error 1418 was resolved by using the same drives letter on both servers...
Although MS suggests that you can use different letters, I decided to use the same drives letter...
From MS:

Also, we recommend that, if it is possible, the file path (including
  the drive letter) of the mirror database be identical to the path of
  the principal database. If the file paths must differ, for example, if
  the principal database is on drive 'F:' but the mirror system lacks an
  F: drive, you must include the MOVE option in the RESTORE statement.

A: For me, I had this issue crop up and resolved it ultimately by dropping and recreating the mirroring endpoints (SSMS -> Server Objects -> Endpoints -> Database Mirroring)

A: In case none of the above worked, here is what caused my problem.
Run the following query on both servers and look closely
SELECT @@Version

I had some updates on my principal server that were not installed on my mirror server.
Also, you can see additional info in SQL Server Log to reasons why the mirroring doesn't work. That's how I realized I had a different version on both servers.

A: On SQL Server 2016, the solution is to have your [domain account] as sysadmin on both principal and mirror server. Then create a new account as of the following
Principal server
use [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [domain\mirrorservername$] FROM WINDOWS
GO
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::[Mirroring] TO [domain\mirrorservername$]
GO

Mirror Server
use [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [domain\principalservername$] FROM WINDOWS
GO
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::[Mirroring] TO [domain\principalservername$]
GO

You need to create those account and grant CONNECT permission as those accounts are the ones used during the handshake between principal and mirror server.
For more details on the error, check your sql error logs.
Hope this post helps someone.

A: I had the same issue. I was trying to setup mirroring on Windows 2008 - R2, on a Domain setup. As suggested above by one of the experts, I checked the SQL Server 'logon' accounts for the SQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT and used the same Domain account for the the SQL Server services on both machines. I was able to setup the mirroring.
Thanks for the help!

– is a benign, self-limiting inflammatory disease affecting part of the eye called the episclera.
There are two types of episcleritis, one where the episclera is diffusely affected (diffuse episcleritis), and the other where nodules are present in the episclera (nodular episcleritis).
Treatment focuses on decreasing discomfort, and includes lubricating eye drops. More severe cases may be treated with topical corticosteroids or oral anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs).
Most of the time, the cause of episcleritis is never determined (idiopathic).
Several diseases are associated with episcleritis, including systemic vasculitic diseases (polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis), connective tissue diseases (rheumatoid arthritis),rosacea, atopy,gout, and ulcerative colitis. 59 percent of patients with relapsing polychondritis have either episcleritis or scleritis.


In this work, we propose a strategy to enhance the lithium storage capabilities of metal oxide based anodes for lithium-ion batteries through nanopainting with a thin layer of conducting polymer. To demonstrate the concept, we have developed a facile, one-step aqueous/organic interfacial synthesis to prepare polythiophene (PTh)-coated ultrathin MnO2 nanosheets (≈5 nm) with a uniform mesoporous hierarchical structure. When evaluated for lithium storage capability, the MnO2/PTh nanocomposite exhibits enhanced capacity retention upon high-rate charge/discharge cycling.

In The Footsteps of J.E.B. Stuart by Clint Johnson
In The Footsteps of J.E.B. Stuart by Clint Johnson will be published in the fall of 2003 by John F. Blair Publisher, Inc. of Winston-Salem. It will be the third volume of the trilogy of In The Footsteps of Robert E. Lee (2001) and In The Footsteps of Stonewall Jackson (2002).
All three books show visitors how to reach sites associated with the three Southern heroes from their births to their deaths. The bulk of the sites are associated with The Civil War such as the unmarked rural Virginia site where Robert E. Lee was almost captured just before the Battle of Second Manassas. All three books also include other sites such as the downtown Brooklyn, N.Y. church where Lt. Thomas Jackson was baptized.Â
In the case of Stuart, one site that is unmarked and little known was where he was almost killed by the exuberant enthusiasm for which he was known - five years before anyone realized that the South would secede from the United States. This site is found in an otherwise featureless pasture just west of the small town of Morland, Kansas, just off U.S. 24 in northwestern Kansas.
The grassy rolling plains of northern Kansas in 1857 must have made United States Army Lt. J.E.B. Stuart homesick for the tree-covered mountains surrounding his home of Laurel Hill in southwestern Virginia. Other that going on rides with his new wife, Flora, who he met while stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, and who he married while at Fort Leavenworth, there was not much to do on this frontier.
That all changed in the summer of 1857 when the United States government in Washington decided to make an example of the Cheyenne Indians who had raided in the area west of the forts in the fall of 1856. A campaign was launched to find and fight the Cheyenne - the first true campaign against the Plains Indians that would start in earnest in a few years and which would last nearly 40 years.
Two widely-spaced columns under Col. Edwin Sumner, later a Civil War general for the Union, left the forts in eastern Kansas, met near the Colorado border and then joined up and started heading back east. They saw little on the ride out, but as they were riding back directly through the known Indian hunting grounds they expected to draw the Cheyenne into a fight.
The Cheyenne were willing to give them one. Two medicine men came up with a medicine that they said would make the warriors bullet proof. All the Cheyenne warriors would have to do when the white soldiers fired would be to hold up their hands and the bullets would drop harmlessly to the ground.
On July 29, 1857, the Indians organized themselves along the banks of the South Fork of the Solomon River west of what is now Morland, a rural area of northwestern Kansas marked by hills and gullies of sometimes dry creek beds.
The Indians were unconcerned as the U.S. Army troops approached and drew their carbines. Then Sumner did something unexpected to both the Indians and his own cavalrymen. He had them holster their carbines and draw their sabers.
The Indians panicked. They had no medicine against "the long knives." They turned and ran, heading east and south. The excited cavalrymen, ignoring their officers' orders, rushed after them. The disciplined attack plan crumbled as knots of soldiers took off after knots of Indians.
Stuart and several other officers, among them future Confederate general Lunsford Lomax, cornered a Cheyenne who had an Allen "pepperbox" pistol. As the Indian threatened one lieutenant, Lt. Stuart slashed at him with a saber. The Indian pointed the pepperbox at Stuart from no more than a few feet and fired.
The small ball, apparently fired with a light or old powder charge, lodged under Stuart's left nipple, not enough to kill him, but enough to embarrass him that he had allowed an enemy to shoot him first.
Stuart spent several days in a sod fort built in the pasture west of Morland to protect the wounded. One night 30 Cheyenne attacked the fort, but were driven off.
It was from this site that Stuart led the wounded men and the infantry who had been left to care for them back to safety. His own accounts indicate how lucky the little command was as they had been left in the wilderness by Sumner who had taken the command's compass with him. Once day fog enveloped Stuart's wounded command all day so he had no way of even seeing the sun to make sure he was heading in the right direction. Almost by sheer luck his command crossed a road bed that he recognized was the road to Fort Kearny. He made it back to safety with his command nearly three weeks after being wounded.
Apparently the ball remained in Stuart's chest as he himself described it as "being so far inside that it cannot be felt." A doctor was along on the expedition, but published accounts do not mention him probing for the ball and Stuart was feeling better a few days after he was wounded.
Only two soldiers were killed in this incident and no more than eight Indians were known killed. Militarily, The Battle of South Solomon Fork was insignificant, but what happened on this featureless field is historic.
The battle was the first time the U.S. government targeted the Plains Indians.
Had Stuart been killed, his service to the Confederacy just four years later would have never happened.
It was here that he displayed the recklessness and joy in combat that would become his trademark.
Sumner's callous abandonment of his wounded in hostile territory displayed a lack of judgment that would be noticed by his commanders four years later.
Though he was one of the highest ranking officers in the Army in 1857, he would be bypassed by others with better skills.
Detailed directions to the field where the sod fort was built and where the Battle of Solomon Fork, Kansas first commended will be given in In The Footsteps of J.E.B. Stuart, which should be available in September. Order a signed copy through www.clintjohnsonbooks.com or visit the 2003 reenactment at Laurel Hill - J.E.B. Stuart's birthplace on Sunday, Oct. 5, where Clint Johnson will be signing books and telling more stories about the sites associated with Stuart's life.

I was inspired, by a recent job title change, to really examine what it means to be a Recruiter. I've spent the majority of my career in recruiting and, regardless of the official job title, I've found that the same basic duties apply – attract, select, and hire the best candidates for jobs. A Recruiter will spend the majority of their time reviewing resumes, screening applicants, and conducting interviews in order to find and entice the perfect candidate. At its core, a Recruiter's job is to manage people.
Great recruiters make it look easy. As we are "selling" our company to a candidate, we promote all the things that make a company and a job appear attractive, but we must also be mindful to paint a realistic picture and sell the whole position. As people who have been on both sides of that interview desk, we have a unique perception of the candidate/recruiter relationship. Two key qualities I hope to see in a Recruiter, and therefore strive to demonstrate as a Recruiter, are Positivity and Honesty.
I truly believe that a Recruiter's attitude can make or break a "sale", but maintaining a long-term, positive attitude can be a challenge for a career Recruiter. It's easy to show your enthusiasm for a company in the beginning, but if you continuously repeat the same canned pitch to each job seeker when promoting your company, you run the risk of falling into a rut. Think about each step of your recruiting process. Are you repeating the same stories to each candidate, using the same email templates and PowerPoints, and introducing them to the same people during on-site interviews?
The best recruiters possess the ability to gauge and understand an individual's wants, needs, and disposition in a very short amount of time. The recruiter will then utilize that information to determine first, that the candidate is a good fit for the job and second, how to convince the particular candidate of such. If you don't pitch to the specific candidate, you run the risk of losing them; therefore, negatively affecting your own track record as a Recruiter and compounding your own stress.
In order to maintain job satisfaction, I suggest that you keep your approach fresh by tailoring it to each individual position. I am at my best when I truly understand the nuances of the particular job for which I am recruiting. In order to understand the position, I take the time to do my research. Don't be afraid to turn to current employees, get perspective from people who work or have worked in that particular position. I tend to be a very visual learner, so a hands-on approach to recruiting is always my first amoxil cheap choice. When researching a new company or position, I prefer, if possible, to tour the facilities or watch the operations. By positioning yourself as an expert, you will be able to facilitate intelligent conversations on a wide range of topics that pertain to the job itself, as well as the industry as a whole. An informed Recruiter is a confident one. That confidence will help you to best demonstrate your passion for the job, company, and industry. These, in turn, will translate to a positive experience for both you and for the job seeker.
Keep in mind that as you are doing your research, job seekers are also doing theirs. Especially those who read my previous blog post 🙂 There are thousands of resources available at their fingertips. A quick internet search will provide information on topics such as recent scandals, layoffs, and/or stock prices. Social media has made it incredibly easy for candidates be aware of employee satisfaction, or overall corporate climate. We want to hire candidates who are proactive and well-informed, but those attributes can also have the potential to make our jobs a little more challenging.
It can be tempting to focus solely on the positives of the job and organization, and attempt to avoid the potentially negative issues, but in doing so, you run the risk of losing a great candidate. If you gloss over these issues or omit them completely from your conversations with the candidate, they may lose their trust in you, making it much more difficult for you to convince them that your company is their ideal place to work.
The best thing a recruiter can do is be honest with their candidates about what is occurring in the company, especially the negative. If your company has seen recent layoffs, explain why it happened and clarify how it affects the position for which this person has applied. If your company´s stock is dropping, explain how adjustments are being made. If you don´t know these answers, meet with someone who does – or better yet, have your candidate meet with them.
Great recruiting is about being honestly excited about your company and what it can offer to the candidate. Maintaining the ability to balance your own positive attitude with an honest perspective of the open position and hiring company will undeniably add to your success as a Corporate Recruiter. It is incredibly important to continuously self-assess and make sure that you still demonstrate the ideal qualities that you would want in a Recruiter.

Senators receive N1.3billion new cars
March 9, 2012 Ini Ekott
The lawmakers
Nigerian senators have, in the past few days, furtively taken delivery of ownership documents for the latest Toyota Land Cruiser Prado jeeps worth at least N1.2 billion, in a new purchase that has lifted the senate's renowned lavish automobile spending to a new high.
The deal is said to have been executed by the National Assembly Service Commission, the statutory contract arm of the lawmaking body. It is not certain how much the transaction is worth on paper, but confirmations from Toyota showed the cars sell for $68,920, about N11.027 million per unit.
For 109 senators, the total cost stands at N1.201 billion. The profit margin, according to dealers, should be about $7400 (about N1.2million) each. The total cost is expected to be N1.33billion.
Taken alone, the figure could build a number of standard schools and hospitals, and help initiate key programs that could tackle unemployment and health challenges such as Lassa Fever and polio. Still, more than triple that sum will most likely be incurred by the House of Representatives for the acquisition of exotic cars for its members.
For years, both chambers have allocated huge sums for automobiles and office furnishings, in addition to huge illegal allowances and homes.
In the last legislative session, the senators purchased Toyota Camry at a unit cost of N9 million, while the House members bought Peugeot cars for huge sums for legislators coming already with fleets of cars. The cars are usually sold for pittance to lawmakers at the end of their tenures.
After similar expenditures in the past sparked fierce condemnations from Nigerians, most of whom lived on less than a dollar per day, the lawmakers realised they needed to be extremely careful in the way they acquire and take possession of their new cars.
So the contract deal, wrapped in utmost secrecy in the first place, had to be delivered in stealth, our sources say.
Several batches of 2012 Toyota prado jeeps, jumbled with a large number of imported government transport scheme buses, have in the past days, running into weeks, been delivered through a dealer at Gimbiya Street, Garki, Abuja.
Each Senator is now proud owner of the latest Prado Jeep
As the consignments arrive in relatively fewer numbers, the lawmakers take delivery of them, while those yet to be served await further shipments. The automobiles are then re-coloured in random shades, both efforts deliberately aimed at minimizing public attention on the cars when used by the lawmakers, the sources said.
On Thursday, when Premium Times visited the company supplying the cars, a few number of cars remained with the buses, while a larger number were sighted at the senate car park later that afternoon.
Officially, senators have refused to comment on the purchase. The spokesperson, Enyinnya Abaribe, did not respond to repeated telephone calls seeking his comments for this story.
But unofficially, the lawmakers have claimed the purchases are meant for committee operations, the same reason cited for acquiring exotic automobiles in the past.
Some government officials however told Premium Times that the acquisition of the cars was a violation of the monetisation policy of the federal government.
Under the policy, no new vehicles should be purchased by any agencies of government for use by officials.
Rather, public officers and political office holders are to receive 350 per cent of their annual basic salary as motor vehicle loan payable in six years at an interest rate of four per cent.
Our sources at the National Assembly said the Senators got these loans before also proceeding to acquire the Prado Jeeps in violation of established regulations.

After the Viena wall falls the city physical limits break down, this leads it to experience a change from contention to dispersion. The void now is what defines space, and a new building typology appears respond to the sociological needs of the Vienna golden age. In the same way our building comes up with a solution linked to society of our times by inverting the Ringstrase typology. The relation with public space changes form exclusive to inclusive while maintaining the iconic representative and powerful image required. Background (park) and figure (building) blend into each other as in Klimt's work by the dissolution of its limit thanks to its irregular shape and intermediate spaces. As in the Vienna secession the buildings tries to express in a universal language by showing itself uncovered by any king of wrap or ornaments. The big auditorium is suspended by society (audience) and academy (the music school) and this become the two paths to reach the auditory.

Boy who used birthday money to help Hurricane Dorian evacuees receives Disney surprise
Posted: September 09 2019 10:57 AM
A California mother of two died during childbirth last week while acting as a surrogate for another family, according to multiple reports. Community members came together to support the family of Michelle Reaves after she died Thursday, according to KGTV and a GoFundMe campaign set up to support Reaves' family. Jamie Herwehe, a close family friend of Reaves', launched the GoFundMe campaign last week, with donations slated to go toward covering funeral costs and supporting Reaves' husband and children, CNN reported. "For those of you who didn't have the pleasure of knowing Michelle, she will always be known for the love she had for her family," Herwehe wrote on the campaign page. "Michelle has the best, most sarcastic, funny personality and always had you laughing." Herwehe said Reaves was acting for the second time as a surrogate for a family when 'one complication led to the next.' She died during childbirth, but Herwehe said the baby she was carrying survived. 'I can't even begin to imagine what her husband Chris and her two babies are going through,' Herwehe wrote. 'No one deserves to lose their mama so young or the mother of their children.' Reaves was survived by her husband and their children, Gage and Monroe, Herwehe said.

Aside from a few key personnel changes at the top, there has not been much news out of the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Information and Technology since LaVerne Council took over in July. But things haven't exactly been quiet, either.
As one of only a handful of Senate-confirmed agency CIOs -- she's officially assistant secretary for information and technology -- Council is charged with leading the department's $4 billion IT operations and making policy changes to the largest IT organization on the federal civilian side. The office supports 300,000 employees, plus contractors and, most critically, veterans who are increasingly accessing services online.
Council is preparing to take the wraps off a new enterprise cybersecurity strategy and an overall direction for the office. Her debut on the federal IT speaking circuit will happen on Oct. 15 at a Government Information Technology Executive Council event in Washington. That appearance will come a day after a slate of meetings among her senior executives, where she will outline her strategy for VA's IT team through the end of the current administration.
If her first personnel moves, which resulted in the departures of the No. 2 and No. 3 officials in her shop, are any indication, there could be some directional shifts that feel sudden and dramatic, at least by government standards.
"I probably have been much more decisive than the team has been exposed to," Council told FCW in an exclusive interview. "I've made decisions faster than I think the team has ever seen, but they've been deliberate, they've been clear, and they've been actioned very quickly."
Cybersecurity featured prominently in Council's confirmation hearing. Accordingly, she assembled a group of in-house experts to come up with a new enterprise strategy and detailed them all to VA's downtown D.C. headquarters -- to "work across the hall from the boss," she said. The team has been evaluating VA's risk management structure and kicking off new projects, she added.
"It was interesting because it was counter, I think, to how we've done things in the past," Council said. "We wanted to be able to address the issues quickly. We wanted to be able to have an engagement across the entire organization. We wanted to also tie to new standards and to the best‑in‑class standards within government and outside of government, and so we took on some heavy lifting."
Part of the cybersecurity work has focused on addressing the "material weakness" issues identified for years in reports from VA's inspector general. But Council is also hoping to add an "offensive posture" to network defense by using all the available resources, including the Einstein 3 network protection system from the Department of Homeland Security.
"An offensive posture is really one in which we engage the resources, the employees, to understand what they can do," Council said, "how they show up in a secure manner, what their responsibilities are, and the things that we can do to change anybody's ability to get into our environment."
Council took over VA's IT operations in the midst of a push to modernize its homegrown electronic health record system VistA. It's an interesting time for the system: The Defense Department derailed a bid to extend a commercial version of the open-source VistA to cover active-duty military, families and retirees in its recent $9 billion EHR procurement. So VistA will have to find a way to survive on its own while evolving to meet the changing needs of the organization.
Employees have a cultural attachment to VistA, Council acknowledged. "I think there always has to be a balance between the attachment and the need," she said. "The first need of VistA is to ensure that we can have the care and manage the care of our veterans appropriately. That always has to be the most important reason for VistA."
Council has deep roots in the private sector, but VistA was on her radar screen long before she took the job at VA. As the top IT officer at pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, she met with VA officials to talk about how VistA could better interoperate with and extend to the private sector.
"I'm a big supporter of open‑source technologies, open‑source software, moving innovation through an open‑source cycle because it can create...opportunity to do things very differently, but also opportunity to use a tool which you might not be able to afford otherwise," she said. "I think VistA creates that cycle. It looks different, and it is different from the other products out there."
She said her work with the VistA Evolution Program, which was created in 2013 to modernize the system, consists of "really making sure that it's not just a labor of love because we created it, but it always is in a position to be the right tool to engage the veteran in the best ways possible and ensure that we can provide a connected care profile and support them."
Council's shift to government has not been without some surprises, both good and bad.
"There's always been this point of view that government is slow, it's cumbersome," she said. "But in reality, what I've seen are really dedicated, hardworking folks who work through issues that you don't have to deal with in private industry."
At the same time, her vision of assembling an all-star team in the VA executive suite is bumping up against federal hiring practices.
"I fear that we won't have the opportunity to have the team engage and then be able to build, without the leaders, a really dynamic organization because of some of the difficulty and because it's really hard to get the message out." she said. "That is a huge difference [between the public and private sectors] from that vantage point.… If you really want people like myself to come in, I will tell you those people who have other opportunities probably...won't wait months."
Still, Council is eager to make the case to private-sector talent that VA is looking for new senior leaders, even if she can't farm out the search to a favorite corporate headhunter.
"We've got some new roles that are being put in place that are really dynamic and outstanding," she said. "They're big. They're meaty. They're fun."
On the procurement side, meanwhile, Council is used to being able to tap her contacts at labs and vendors to see what kind of technology is in the pipeline and how it might benefit her organization.
In the public sector, "with the number of rules, you can't have those conversations," she said. "I think in IT, it becomes a little bit of a hindrance because you're not able to stay engaged with the new and the brightest and understand what you can really bring forward to your partners."


Hiro Fine Art is interested in purchasing, consigning and appraising artwork by Charles Biederman.
Charles Biederman was born Karl Joseph Biederman in Cleveland, Ohio to Czech immigrant parents. He worked in a art studio while he was a teenager and attended the Cleveland Art Institute before he attended the Art Institute of Chicago. As a student, he was a bright, up and coming artist, winning the Paul Trebeilcock Prize for a Solo Exhibition in 1929. Later that year, Biederman dropped out of the Art Institute because of differences he had with the faculty.
Charles Biederman moved to New York in 1934 and was able to exhibit with several well known abstract artists such as Alexander Calder and Charles Green Shaw. His exhibitions at the Paul Reinhardt Gallery and the Pierre Matisse Gallery established him as one of the leading American Abstract Artists of the time. Biederman was highly influenced by paintings he encountered by Joan Miro at the Pierre Matisse Gallery. His artworks were completely abstract and he began to create structural wall reliefs.
Biederman spent nearly a year in Paris between 1936 and 1937. While in Paris, he met Picasso, Mondrian, Miro, and Leger and was initially highly influenced by Leger. He worked in a studio and influenced by the technology he saw at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, he began to abandon his bimorphic and organic style of painting for a more geometric style. His focus centered on relief sculptures instead of two dimensional paintings.
With his new style, Biederman moved back to America in 1937 and lived in Chicago and New York until 1941 creating Avant Garde artwork. He was the first artist to use florescent light in his artwork titled Number 9, New York, July, 1940. Biederman married in 1941 and moved to Red Wing, Minnesota, where he remained for the rest of his life. While in Red Wing, he lived on a farm and continued to create art. Biederman was known as an intellectual art philosopher in that he published several books on art theory where he explored the relationships between art and nature: "Art as the Evolution of Visual Knowledge" (1948), "The New Cezanne: From Monet to Mondrian" (1958) and "Search for New Arts" (1979).

Beyle (Berta) Friedberg (; 3 May 1864 – 15 October 1944), best known by the pen names Isabella () and Isabella Arkadevna Grinevskaya (), was a Russian-Jewish novelist, poet, and dramatist. As a translator, she translated into Russian works from Polish, German, French, Italian, Armenian, and Georgian.

Biography

Early life and career
Beyle Friedberg was born in Grodno to Russian Hebrew writer Abraham Shalom Friedberg, later moving to Saint Petersburg. There she frequented Yiddish literary circles and, in 1886, married fellow writer Mordecai Spector. They moved to Warsaw the following year, where they would eventually divorce.

Her first published story, a novella entitled Der yosem ( 'The Orphan'), appeared under the pseudonym "Isabella" in the first volume of Der hoyz-fraynd in 1888. She continued to write short stories for Der hoyz-fraynd and the Yidishe bibliotek through the 1890s, depicting the social conditions of the Eastern European Jewish middle class, particularly the experiences of young educated women from the Jewish community. In these stories, she dwells on comparisons between the older and the newer generation, and points out the dangers from a superficial modern education. Her novella Fun glik tsum keyver: a khosn oyf oystsoln ( 'From Joy to the Grave: A Husband on the Installment Plan') was published in Warsaw in 1894.

Grinevskaya's career as a dramatist began with Ogon'ki ( 'The First Storm'), a Russian one-act play which debuted on 2 April 1895 at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, starring Maria Savina. This was followed by a series of one-act lyrical comedies (Work Day, A Dance Lesson, Play for Departing, The Letter, They've Agreed, The Conflagration, Bear Hunting, and Letter from the Village), which were performed on the stages of the Imperial Theatres. She also produced, among others, translations of Lucjan Rydel's Zaczarowane koło, Gerolamo Rovetta's La Realtà, and Gabriele D'Annunzio's , the latter of which was staged at the Alexandrinsky.

As a translator, she translated into Russian works from Polish, German, French, Italian, Armenian, and Georgian.

1900s–1910s
In May 1903 she published Bab, a five-act poetic drama based on the life of the founder of Bábism. It was performed on stage the following January at the St. Petersburg Literary-Artistic Society Theatre (now home to the Bolshoi Drama Theatre), directed by Evtikhii Karpov and produced by Aleksey Suvorin. The play was praised for its literary quality, most notably by Leo Tolstoy. A ban on its production in the city was nonetheless imposed by government censors after five performances. Still, the drama had successful runs in Astrakhan and Poltoratsk, and would return to the Petrograd stage post-February Revolution in April 1917. It would later be translated into German, French, and Tatar.

Grinevskaya emigrated to Constantinople in around 1910. In early 1911, she spent two weeks in Egypt as the guest of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, an account of which she published as "A Journey to the Countries of the Sun" in 1914. Her drama Bekha-Ulla, a sequel to Bab on the life of the Bahá'u'lláh, was published in 1912 but never performed. She returned to the Russian Empire at the outbreak of World War I, settling in Kharkov.

Other writings of this era include the play Surovye dni (1909;  'Harsh Days'), set during the Cossack Rebellion of 1773–75, the collections Salute to Heroes (1915) and From the Book of Life (1915), and the pamphlet The Right of Books, in which she protested against censorship.

Later life
Grinevskaya's only publication post-Revolution was the poetry collection Pavlovsk (1922;  'Poems'). Her later years were spent largely in isolation. She died in 1944.

HTML Purifier as ZF2 filter. Protect yourself from XSS attacks with two simple steps.

Install
-------

Install with [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/mikemix/zf2htmlpurifier) ```"mikemix/zf2htmlpurifier": "~1.0"```

Use
---

Include in form field's filter chain ```zf2htmlpurifier\Filter\HTMLPurifierFilter```, for example:

```php
<?php
namespace MyApp\Form;

use Zend\Form\Form;
use Zend\InputFilter\InputFilterProviderInterface;

class ExampleForm extends Form implements InputFilterProviderInterface
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->add([
            'name' => 'field',
        ]);
    }

    public function getInputFilterSpecification()
    {
        return array(
            // other elements
            'field' => array(
                'required' => true,
                'filters' => array(
                    array('name' => 'zf2htmlpurifier\Filter\HTMLPurifierFilter'),
                ),
            ),
        );
    }

    // or with modern php

    public function getInputFilterSpecification()
    {
        return [
            // other elements
            'field' => [
                'required' => true,
                'filters' => [
                    ['name' => zf2htmlpurifier\Filter\HTMLPurifierFilter::class],
                ],
            ],
        ];
    }
}

// in controller (ugly code example without Dependency Injection)

$fm = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('FormElementManager');

$form = $fm->get(MyApp\Form\ExampleForm::class);
$form->setData(['field' => '<a href="#" onlick="javascript:alert(xss)">link</a>']);
$form->isValid();

// outputs: <a href="#">link</a>
echo $form->getData('field');

```

Fine tuning HTMLPurifier
------------------------

You can pass options to configure the HTMLPurifier library.

```php

// the form

    public function getInputFilterSpecification()
    {
        return [
            // other elements
            'field' => [
                'required' => true,
                'filters' => [
                    ['name' => zf2htmlpurifier\Filter\HTMLPurifierFilter::class, 'options' => ['config' => [
                        'Cache.SerializerPath' => '/other/path',
                        'Some.Setting' => 'Setting value',
                    ]]],
                ],
            ],
        ];
    }

```

Standalone usage
----------------

It can be used as standalone class as well:

```php
$purifier = new \zf2htmlpurifier\Filter\HTMLPurifierFilter();

echo $purifier->filter('<a href="#" onlick="javascript:alert(xss)">link</a>');
```

TODO
----

   * Convert this to Module and allow defining default HTMLPurifier config via the configuration files

BJP win in left citadel Tripura a triumph of ideology: PM
Published: March 6, 2018 - 15:28
A triumphant Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday termed the Bharatiya Janata Party's victory in Left citadel Tripura as "a triumph of ideology" and urged the BJP rank and file to strive to wrest power in poll-bound Karnataka.
"Tripura was considered a bastion of Marxists for the past 25 years. This is an ideological victory," a party leader at the BJP parliamentary meeting quoted Modi as saying.
Modi was greeted with the slogan "Jeet hamari jari hai, ab Karnataka ki bari hai" (Our winning spree continues, now it's time to win in Karnataka). Assembly elections in Karnataka are due in May this year.
Briefing reporters, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said the Communist ideology and relevance has been "finished across the world" and is on the verge of losing ground in India as well.
With the exit of Leftists from West Bengal in 2011 and now in Tripura, they are in power now only in the southern state of Kerala.
Quoting the Prime Minister, BJP leaders who attended the meeting said the importance of the political mandate in three northeastern states should not be underestimated on the ground that these are smaller provinces and have only one or two members of Parliament.
"For development, all states are equal," the Prime Minister is believed to have said. Modi also assured that his government will give priority to the development of these states and the northeastern region in particular.
The BJP was already in power in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur and this time, won in Tripura too. In Nagaland, it is set to form a coalition regime with the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party, while the National People's Party-led coalition regime with one BJP minister took over the reins in Meghalaya on Tuesday.
Opposition leaders, including Derek-O' Brien of the All India Trinamool Congress, have sought to downplay the BJP's victory in Tripura on the ground that the population of the entire state is less than that of Howrah district.
The Prime Minister said the mandate in effect reflected people's yearning for change and that is why they have voted overwhelmingly to dethrone the Communists.
In Tripura, the BJP's vote share surged to over 44 per cent on its own from 1.3 in 2013 and along with ally Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura, it shot up to about 50 per cent. In Nagaland, out of the 20 seats it contested, the BJP won 12 seats. While it recorded a quantum leap in vote percentage in Meghalaya too but could win only two seats.

Left jobless by pandemic, Colombia's informal workers to get government aid
by Anastasia Moloney | @anastasiabogota | Thomson Reuters Foundation
Friday, 27 March 2020 22:48 GMT
Colombian workers like maids and cleaners will get a small cash payment from the government
By Anastasia Moloney
BOGOTA, March 27 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The poorest residents from street vendors to war victims will receive cash and food during the coronavirus lockdown in Colombia, where roughly half the wage earners work off the books with no savings, authorities said.
The government said it will spend $120 million to help about three million informal economy workers like cleaners, maids, street vendors and construction workers who lack a financial safety net.
The South American nation of 50 million people has been under lockdown since Tuesday to stem the spread of the coronavirus, which has infected at least 539 people and killed eight in Colombia so far.
In depth: Coronavirus and its impact on people, cities, and economy
Colombians are under orders to stay at home until April 13, and the elderly are confined until the end of May.
President Ivan Duque announced this week that three million Colombians who are not participating in government welfare programs would receive $40 in a one-time cash transfer next week.
The amount is the equivalent to about 12% of the minimum monthly wage.
Duque said on a televised program from the presidential palace that the measures were introduced "so that we can weather these storms without hunger in our country."
He also said about 2.6 million Colombian families who do receive a monthly cash transfer from the government's 'Families in Action' program will get an additional payment of about $80.
The program mainly covers unemployed single mothers and poor rural families.
In addition, 206,000 young people participating in the government's 'Youth in Action' welfare program will also receive an additional payment of about $50.
As the lockdown has brought the country's informal economy to a halt, the streets of Bogota and other majors cities were empty, particularly hurting street sellers who rely on their daily earnings to buy food and pay rent.
Like others in the nation's informal economy, they have no savings or access to bank loans and very limited health care.
In Bogota, a city of 8 million people, local authorities pledged this week to help the 53,000 registered street vendors by providing food parcels.
So far, about 3,500 parcels have been delivered.
Also getting aid are the nation's nearly 9 million people listed as official victims of its 52-year war that ended in 2016, Duque said.
They are mostly people who were displaced from their rural homes by warring factions and now live in city slums.
Since 2011, war victims have been entitled to a one-time compensation payment of about $2,000.
Payments scheduled for later this year for 50,000 war victims will be moved up to as early as next month, the government has said.
But the benefits will not reach many of those in need who will be forced to fend for themselves, said Uber driver Juan Cardenas.
"I haven't heard of anything or got anything. I'm not on any list to receive benefits," Cardenas told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
He said he has not been able to work since the ride-hailing platform has been suspended during the lockdown.
"I'm going to have to eat less and borrow money," he said.

"Measurements of Intake Port Fuel/Air Mixture Preparation" by Brian E. Holthaus, Robert M. Wagner et al.
A detailed investigation of the intake port mixing process was performed on a fired single cylinder port fuel injected research engine. The liquid fuel droplets were studied using several different methods of analysis ranging from spatially and temporally resolved to spatially and temporally averaged data. Comparisons of the port mixture preparation results were made to the combustion performance of the engine in order to develop correlations between the mixing process and resulting engine performance. It is suggested that while the nature of the fuel spray produced by the injector is important, there are several other factors that influence fuel delivery to the cylinder. Calculations are given that indicate drops must be very small to entrain in the flow and avoid wall wetting. Secondary drop formation mechanisms may ultimately determine the nature of the fuel delivery to the cylinder and have an impact on combustion performance. Some evidence supporting the presence of secondary fuel atomization in the intake port was found. This paper demonstrates that it is necessary to develop a more fundamental understanding of secondary fuel droplet formation mechanisms in the intake port to better correlate fuel preparation to combustion performance.
