When it comes to databases, the rule of thumb is that no one database is great for all use cases. See a few examples where NoSQL just doesn't fit — or that NewSQL can do better.
Which problems can I solve with NoSQL?
Equally important, where is NoSQL a bad fit?
Where do different approaches – NoSQL and NewSQL - show their strengths?
Don't get us wrong - NoSQL databases are great for lots of workloads and applications, but in four areas the weaknesses of NoSQL are pronounced.
This post will discuss those four areas, and identify use cases where NoSQL technology might not be the best choice.
NoSQL offerings began to attract attention when they were implemented to address the scalability requirements of web-native companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter. These organizations were dealing with vast inflows of unstructured data from myriad sources: web searches, mobile devices, user status updates, streams of comments.
In these use cases, the most important consideration was scalability: the database had to scale out massively. The relational schema and challenge of scaling traditional SQL databases were seen as restrictive, and when cost was considered in either dollars or development effort of scaling legacy RDBMSs, using these systems was seen as prohibitive.
The key feature NoSQL systems brought to the development community was the ability to scale applications on inexpensive commodity hardware. If your use case requires horizontal scale-out for unlimited data feeds, NoSQL may be the right choice - unless you want to take action on the data in real-time.
While legacy relational database systems offer scaling options – at an often-significant cost – NewSQL systems were designed to address this same scalability challenge, all while maintaining the transactionality and SQL-standard interactivity of legacy RDBMSs.
One example is an in-memory, massively parallel, SQL relational database that scales out linearly on inexpensive commodity hardware. Like NoSQL solutions, NewSQL databases should be cloud-friendly and able to scale to meet the demands of web-scale applications. These systems should be designed for low latency high read/write performance, using a shared-nothing, cluster-native, cloud-friendly architecture. They need to provide high availability and fault tolerance, as well as geographic redundancy. Spoiler alert: VoltDB does all these things. With VoltDB, you can build transactional, database-oriented applications against data feeds that were previously limited to stream processing systems.
NoSQL systems are designed for availability, CAP-theorem style. Availability means the database is always responsive, even in the event of network partitions. NoSQL systems by design prioritize availability over strong consistency (i.e., always correct, exact answers). These systems will return an answer, even if the answer is not the most current at that given instance in time.
This design decision, made famous by Apache Cassandra, was based on the belief that it is less important to be immediately correct than it is to always return a response and/or accept new data.
For example, if your Twitter follower list is not displayed exactly correct at that moment, that is ok. It is better to display something that is not exactly correct but is the same for all clients rather than to display nothing at all. Eventually, the answer will be correct for all clients.
For many applications, eventual consistency is acceptable. However, when you need to make immediate decisions or transactions on exact answers, you will need a different solution.
NewSQL systems favor consistency over availability. consistency levels lower. NewSQL will return the same exact answer to all clients - it won't return different answers. This allows your applications to make decisions, for example on money, airplane seat assignments, inventory, etc., and to know there won't be conflicts.
VoltDB, for example, is a strongly-consistent NewSQL database. If you have a use case that requires speed, scalability, and always-correct, ACID-compliant transactions, VoltDB is pretty much the only game in town. No NoSQL offerings can make the same assertion.
NoSQL systems were architected for availability (see above). That choice meant they couldn't deliver ACID-based, strong consistency. With CAP, three pillars are described – Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance. Brewer's Theorem (aka the CAP theorem) states you can have two, but not all three of these properties.
Here's a more practical way to think about CAP: In the face of network partitions, you can't always have both perfect consistency and 100% availability. Plan accordingly.
Strongly consistent systems such as VoltDB are CP. They choose Consistency (C) over Availability (A). They also provide Partition-tolerance (P). And, they are robust in the face of many failure scenarios.
Of all NewSQL solutions, VoltDB is the most robust and resilient in the face of many failure scenarios. We've been validated independently by Kyle Kingbury's Jepsen testing. We've seen customers with production clusters with uptime measured in years. Of all NewSQL solutions, VoltDB is the most robust and resilient in the face of many failure scenarios. We've been validated independently by Kyle Kingsbury's Jepsen testing. We've seen customers with production clusters with uptime measured in years.
Today, modern, request-response style applications happen at high volume. While NoSQL solutions often provide datastore speed, they cannot provide strongly consistent transactions at scale.
Detecting a fraudulent card swipe before the transaction is approved.
NoSQL databases are generally not the right choice for these types of applications.
These events occur millions of times a day, even millions of times per hour (or even second) all over the world. Businesses in telco, financial services, online gaming, adtech and other industries need to be able to accommodate the varying volume and velocity of these events. They need a scalable, transactionally-consistent solution.
Acid transactions are a requirement for request-response applications - and becasue NewSQL systems are relational ACID_based databases, they support ACID transactions. Coupling scalability, strong consistency and the ability to transact on data at scale, NewSQL systems provide the capabilities for modern applications.
Both NoSQL and NewSQL technologies provide data stores on which highly scalable applications can be built. NoSQL data stores are a great choice for appliactions where availability - getting a response - is valued more highly than getting a consistent, correct response at all times. NewSQL systems provide applications with scalability as well, and also offer strong consistency and transactional interaction, favoring consistency over availability in failure scenarios.
While nearly all NoSQL solutions deliver scalability, VoltDB delivers on both, and adds strongly consistent transactions; further, few can match VoltDB's combination of blazing speed, transactional consistency and scalability.

1. Born and raised in Colombia, you took a decision early in life to move on.Why?
I love Colombia, but always wanted to leave. It was an objective early on in my adolescence. I didn't know that I wanted to be an artist, because I didn't know this career existed. I had my heart focused on fashion design. So I started learning languages, as many as I could, as I thought they would allow me to travel the world.
2. So when did you start with design?
Back in 1982, when I was 18, I left Colombia to study fashion in Rome. I found myself very unhappy in Italy because I felt it was way too provincial. I wanted to see the world. Rome seemed to close in on my dreams. I then moved to Paris, where I continued fashion design at ESMOD. Paris gave me a very important sense of structure.
3. London helped you as a photographer?
I found I needed to work with images. London was very creative and all hands-on. I immersed myself in the technical part of photography learning about black and white photography, how to process film and print in the darkroom. I did a lot of portraiture and learned 'old school' techniques.
4. Did you ever contemplate returning?
No. I felt that in Colombia I could not be appreciated for being myself and I was trying to find who I was and how I could channel myself creatively. Being a photographer at the time and living far away from home made me feel safe though.
5. You found Colombia restrictive?
Colombia was restrictive in a sense that its long history of violence had enabled all of us to develop a bullying attitude towards one another. It took me many years to come to this realization, and to understand that I was unconsciously running away from it.
6. So Greece brought you back to a close family environment?
After Greece, I returned to Colombia and a two-week trip ended up lasting various years. I realized I missed my country. It was 1991 and I started teaching photography.
7. So returning to Bogotá was positive.
I felt that my time was very creative, although I also felt a stranger. I lived in La Candelaria and spent my time teaching and meeting a new circle of friends. They were mostly artists, dancers and theater people. I realized then that photography could be an art form and I was not limited by it.
8. After three years in Bogotá, you took the leap to become an artist.
During a weekend in 1994, I realized I had to leave again. I decided on New York. By September I found myself here. I enrolled in the International Center of Photography with a General Studies program. I did not tell anyone I was a photographer and spent a large portion of my savings on what I considered to be the future: a laptop to use as my new medium.
9. How did New York impact you?
New York helped me see things with another perspective. I stopped thinking of myself as a photographer. I borrowed a video camera from my roommate as an experiment on Canal Street. I wanted to detach myself from the medium, realizing that photographers strive for immortality, usually afraid of letting go, framing images and labeling them with captions underneath. I had always felt more connected with the idea of images as abstract paintings.
10. Large prints and interactive time-based installations. Tell us about this.
I undertake different mediums because I am concerned with how to challenge the viewer's own perception and construction of what they consider real. I refuse to be classified by labels and techniques, but rather I want to be recognized for my ability in using different means in order to disseminate ideas. These ideas are primarily produced on a personal and intimate narrative. A scripted storyline if you will.
11. From glossy surfaces to glass, materials play a major role in visual experiences.
I use different techniques to communicate universal ideas of experience, materiality, medium, illusion, space and time. For example, glass is a hard substance that can easily shatter with the right amount force. By using this material I expose my sense of rigidity and vulnerability. The mirror is used as a surface for both for projection and reflection of emotional and psychological states.
12. What's New York like for a multidisciplinary artist?
When I am not in my studio creating, I get inspiration from nature or attending weekly music concerts.
13. So you don't like to be influenced by the art scene?
I thought it was a liability not going to an art school. Now it's my biggest asset. That's how I developed my piece "For the time being/intervals" when I was starting out in 1996. I was filming the view from my window in Brooklyn through the seasons, and I was also photographing the passage of time with an analog camera. Viewers became hypnotized with these images. I learned more by observing the outside world, like a Buddhist meditation.
14. Where does a space/time relationship to your work come from?
My father died when I was 8 years old, and since then I have spent a great deal of time looking for an "emotional space" to place the idea of him, trying to understand where people go when they die. This, paired with an introspective mind, has led me to set up a range of emotional challenges and then translate them into tangible work. My work is about decoding through the senses. The more abstract the work gets, the more universal it becomes.
15. So you are very much a self-taught artist.
Yes. I always wanted to be a painter but could not paint. My mother got me a camera at the age of 9. I pasted the walls in my room with thousands of pictures. I trained my eye by grouping and editing these images all the time. I still need to have that wall up in my studio. I am a voracious reader and an information junkie, so I have pretty much figured out a lot on my own.
16.Your work is well received in the U.S.?
In the last seven years I have had the opportunity to be commissioned to do permanent and public artwork. You can see my work at the LAX International airport, the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong and the Comcast Building in Philadelphia among others. I have also been able to show my installations at various venues such as the New Museum and MOMA.
17. Planning a return to Colombia?
I have a new creative relationship with Colombia. Having figured out where the pain was coming from helped me realize how much I missed the landscape.
18. How important are materials in your message?
My work has a sense of magic and wonder conveyed by using industrial materials and technology. I can examine the physical and material in relation to the emotional and spiritual.
19. Is New York comfortable for artists?
New York is a tough and amazing place. Having lasted this long (18 years) it might seem I have what it takes to survive!
20. How do you see Colombia's art now?
There are talented artists who are open and generous. There are opportunities now. This makes the atmosphere generous. I am also working on a couple of proposals for future exhibitions in Colombia.

Q: tcpdump - how to track the source of requests made with ephemeral/dynamic ports I'm trying to identify the network traffic between multiple backend microservices running on the same server. (they make some rest http calls to each other)
Unfortunately, when i use tcpdump, the lines i see for each call, only allow me to identify the 'destination service' for the call.
tcpdump -nn -i lo
14:03:52.612985 IP6 ::1.31822 > ::1.9093: Flags [P.], seq 2474698995:2474699366, ack 4107952262, win 697, options [nop,nop,TS val 3238273 ecr 3231488], length 371
14:03:52.616946 IP6 ::1.9093 > ::1.31822: Flags [P.], seq 1:875, ack 371, win 568, options [nop,nop,TS val 3238274 ecr 3238273], length 874

The destination port (here 9093) is stable and is the one on which one of my microservices run.
But the source  port (31822) is one of those 'ephemeral / dynamic port' allocated  randomly by the OS so I don't know what application made the call.
Is there an easy way to trace what microservice is the source of that call. A way to link the source dynamic port with a running app PID?
(without modifying the running application themselves, i don't have control of them all)
things i tried like netstat,lsof led me nowhere.
Thanks

A: iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --pid-owner 1234 -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix MSX
This will log every connection initiated by the microservice with pid 1234 using a prefix MSX so you can distinguish its connections from other microservices.
You could integrate management of these rules into the init script of the microservice. E.g., for systemd add this as an ExecStartPost command using $MAINPID and have a corresponding ExecStopPost command that removes this rule.

ASEAN: Going It Alone? Not Quite
See Seng Tan, Jul 2 2014, 2504 views
Image by ASEAN Secretariat
At an international forum in Shanghai in May 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for Asian security issues to be handled by Asians. While few made the connection at the time, Xi's appeal brings to mind the Indonesian mantra, long held, of 'regional solutions for regional problems' (Leifer, 2000). The notion that Southeast Asians are best placed to manage their own challenges has long captivated the regional imagination and, together with the Cold War concern against interference in Southeast Asia by outside powers, has served as a basis for treaties of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) such as the Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality, and the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapons Free Zone.
On the other hand, the facts on the ground underscore the gap between aspiration and reality in Southeast Asia. Despite a nearly five-decade-long exercise in confidence-building – ASEAN was established in 1967 – mutual distrust among ASEAN member states has remained high, limiting the extent and depth of intraregional cooperation. Most recently, the apparent failure by the relevant ASEAN countries to share information they might have held concerning the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 that went missing presumably reflected persistent worries among them about revealing the extent of their respective surveillance capabilities – or lack of – to one another (Lloyd, 2014). Be that as it may, analysts have also identified the relative paucity among ASEAN states, with the exception of Singapore, of national assets and resources which could be deployed in the event of transnational crises that affect the region.
To be sure, ASEAN states have historically cooperated among themselves, successfully so, on political and security issues such as counterterrorism, maritime security, and conflict management more broadly (Tan, 2009a). The rare skirmish aside, ASEAN can rightly take pride that hitherto, no major war has broken out among its member countries. However, while the Association is not without formal instruments for conflict prevention and management – the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia and its High Council and, more ambitiously, the ASEAN Charter and its dispute settlement mechanism – there have been few occasions, almost none, where its member countries actually appropriated those provisions to manage, much less resolve, their mutual disputes. Indeed, that the Association's attempt to establish a political-security community among its member nations is proceeding at a considerably slower pace than its concomitant effort to form an economic community – whose progress has been hampered by behind-the-border barriers – implies that ASEAN's own vision of security integration will unlikely be realized for some time, much less by its self-declared deadline of 2015 (Kyodo News International, 2013).
To the extent they have sought to handle problems they have with each other through bilateral means, ASEAN states, hewing to the 'ASEAN Way' of consensus and consultation, have relied on informal measures (Acharya, 1997). The good office of the chairmanship of ASEAN, which rotates annually among member states, has been used on occasion for the purpose of mediation; an illustration is the effort by Indonesia, in its prerogative as ASEAN chair, to craft a modus vivendi to deal with the border crisis between Cambodia and Thailand in 2011. (Indonesia also exercised its de facto leadership in the Association to cobble together the so-called 'six point agreement' in the wake of the ASEAN foreign ministers' failure to produce a joint communiqué – the first time ever in its history – at their meeting in Phnom Penh in July 2012.) On their own, a number of ASEAN states have participated in peace support operations in Southeast Asia under the United Nations and other international auspices, and contributed to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) missions in the region (Caballero-Anthony and Acharya, 2005). However, such efforts have neither involved the use of ASEAN's formal instruments nor been conducted under the ASEAN aegis.
Rather than managing their mutual disputes on an intramural basis, the preference of ASEAN countries has been to look elsewhere for help. Hitherto, those who agreed to submit their joint territorial disputes to third-party arbitration have turned to the International Court of Justice, as did Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore over their respective islands disputes with each other. The unilateral decision by the Philippines to bring its dispute with China over Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea before the Hamburg-based International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea underscored the Association's evident disunity and weakness in the face of Chinese assertiveness. ASEAN countries likewise have relied on the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement mechanism to handle their trade disputes; the first dispute ever submitted to the WTO when its dispute mechanism became operational in 1995 involved two ASEAN states, Malaysia and Singapore.
ASEAN has in fact institutionalized and deepened its dependence on outside powers through its dialogue partner arrangements and the complex of regional institutions which it carries or had a hand in forming. Institutions such as the APEC, the ASEAN Regional Forum, and the East Asia Summit reflect not only ASEAN's preference for open regionalism, but, in a sense, are a tacit admission of Southeast Asians' inability to manage their growing host of complex challenges on their own (Tan, 2009b). In the case of the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus process, for instance, ASEAN countries look to eight dialogue partners (America, Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, and Russia) for assistance to develop their national and regional capacities in HADR, nuclear counter-proliferation, ensuring safety and security in the maritime domain, counterterrorism, and the like (Tan, 2012). Even then, despite the enhanced focus paid to the development of ASEAN's capabilities in HADR, the organization's relative inaction in response to Typhoon Haiyan which struck the Philippines in November 2013 – individual ASEAN states did respond on their own, however, though nowhere near what America and Britain contributed – only served to underscore the extent and depth of their dependence (Graham, 2013).
Needless to say, reliance on outside powers entails its own challenges, particularly in the present age of rising strategic rivalry between China and the United States, and the polarizing effect that has had on ASEAN. Chinese assertiveness and American rebalancing has made it more difficult for ASEAN countries to hedge against and engage with all outside powers. Growing frustration among non-ASEAN stakeholders in ASEAN-led institutions over the Association's perceived ineffectiveness as a regional leader has led many to question the wisdom of ASEAN's centrality in the regional architecture in Asia (Acharya, 2012). While such dynamics have no doubt complicated and strained the Association's dependence on outside powers, ASEAN states, for the reasons highlighted above, are however more likely than not to keep looking outward than in.

Ono San Pietro (Dò in dialetto camuno) è un comune italiano di  abitanti, della Val Camonica, provincia di Brescia in Lombardia.

Il territorio del comune di Ono San Pietro confina a nord con quello di Capo di Ponte, a nord-ovest con quello di Paisco Loveno, a ovest e a sud con quello di Cerveno e a est con quello di Ceto.

Dal 2014 Ono S. Pietro è gemellato con il comune di Monongahela, in Pennsylvania.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Il paese si espande sul cono di deiezione della Concarena formato dall'escavazione del torrente Ble. Sono presenti doline (in dialetto camuno bìs) ed effetti di carsismo che provocano frequenti smottamenti.

In passato era famoso per le sue calchere e per le cave di marmo occhiadino. Sono state ritrovate sei calchere, in uso fino agli anni '50.

Idrografia
L'abitato è attraversato dal Blé che confluisce nell'Oglio.

Origini del nome
Secondo una leggenda il dome Dò deriva dalle lettere "D" ed "O" presenti sulla facciata dell'antica chiesa dedicata ai Santi Pietro e Paolo nella quale alcuni zingari si erano rifugiati a seguito della distruzione della loro carovana ad opera di una grande frana della Concarena. Secondo un'altra ipotesi il nome deriverebbe dal termine celtico-iberico duno, recinto per pecore da lana che, secondo la tradizione, sarebbero state importate nel 774 dai monaci di San Martino di Marmoutier. Secondo una terza ipotesi, Do sarebbe la contrazione del sostantivo latino "donum" o "dunum", terrazzo.

Storia

L'attuale abitato di Ono San Pietro è formato dai due nuclei, ricordati in fonti medievali già nel 1299, di Hono e Cricolo; il paese è denominato anticamente come Do, ma anche Doi, Hono e Onno.
Cricolo invece sorgeva più a nord, nei dintorni della chiesa di San Pietro.

In località Baite di Natù, Baite del Rüa e Baite Alte di Plaurentì di Ono San Pietro sono state individuate delle iscrizioni in alfabeto camuno, che indicano una presenza umana databili per lo meno alla tarda età del ferro V secolo aev.

Il 14 ottobre 1336 il vescovo di Brescia Jacopo de Atti investe iure feudi dei diritti di decima nei territori di Cerveno, Ono e Cricolo, Esine e Paisco Oprandino Codaferri da Cemmo.

Si apre nel 1338 un forno fusorio che rimarrà in uso sino al 1815.

L'11 gennaio 1350 il vescovo di Brescia Bernardo Tricardo investe iure feudi dei diritti di decima nei territori di Berzo Inferiore, Ono e Cricolo e Cerveno Rainaldo del fu Zanino Federici di Gorzone.

Alla pace di Breno del 31 dicembre 1397 i rappresentanti della comunità di Dò, Buono di Pietro da Ono e il notaio Giorgio da Cemmo si schierarono sulla sponda ghibellina.

Il 17 settembre 1423 il vescovo di Brescia Francesco Marerio investe iure feudi dei diritti di decima nei territori di Monno, Cevo, Andrista, Grumello, Saviore, Cemmo, Ono, Sonico, Astrio, Malegno, Cortenedolo, Vione, Incudine e Berzo Demo a Bertolino della Torre di Cemmo .

Il 29 marzo 1438 vi è il decreto di unione delle chiese di San Pietro in Cricolo con San Alessandro, a favore di Ono. Il primo titolare della parrocchia risulta essere, da documenti del 1471, tale don Massimo.

Nel 1493 il comune di Ono o Hono risulta abitato da 250 anime, mentre Giovanni Da Lezze ricorda agli inizi del '600 le due comunità distinte di Hono e Cricolo.

In principio del secolo XV una frana staccatasi dalla Concarena scende sul nucleo di Cricolo, ridimensionandolo fortemente. I danni ai campi furono così ingenti da costringere molti ad emigrare.

Secondo il Catalogo queriniano del 1532 tale Pietro di Demo era rettore della parrocchiale di Sant'Alessandro in unione a quella di San Pietro "de Gricolo", ed erano presenti le scuole del Santissimo Sacramento e dei Disciplini.

Nel 1559 sono presenti la confraternita del Corpus Domini, con 100 confratelli, e quella dei Disciplini, anch'essa con 100 membri.

Nel 1599 don Gregorio Camadini da Incudine promuove la fondazione del Monte di Pietà, con lo scopo di aiutare i bisognosi in tempi difficili.

Il comune di Do e Ono è inserito nel cantone della Montagna con la legge del 1º maggio 1797. In seguito verrà unito al comune di Cerveno fino all'avvento del Regno Lombardo-Veneto, quanto riotterrà l'autonomia.

Nel 1798 si costruisce la nuova chiesa di Sant'Alessandro, in quanto la vecchia era divenuta insufficiente.

Nel 1867 un incendio distrugge 20 case.

Nel 1927, a seguito della legge fascista contro i piccoli comuni (Regio Decreto del 28 ottobre), Ono San Pietro perde l'autonomia diventando frazione di Capo di Ponte. Al termine della seconda guerra mondiale nel 1946 gli abitanti del paese si astengono dal votare alle prime libere elezioni amministrative, per protestare contro la mancata autonomia del comune. Nell'agosto dei 1947, tornato indipendente, un folto gruppo di cittadini penetrò nel municipio di Capo di Ponte e si riappropriò di bandiera, registri e suppellettili, portandoli in corteo sino ad Ono San Pietro.

Nel secondo dopoguerra Ono viene congiunto con la strada statale 42 del Tonale e della Mendola tramite un ponte sull'Oglio. Prima di scegliere questa soluzione l'amministrazione aveva soppesato l'idea di congiungerlo solo con Cerveno e Cemmo.

We Are All Disappointed With The Situation Of Our Country – Dr. Ismaila Ceesay
Renowned Political Science lecturer at the University of The Gambia (UTG), Dr.Ismaila Ceesay, said Friday that the difficult situation the country is experiencing has prompted a group of concerned Gambians to set up Citizens' Alliance with the view of offering a viable political alternative.
"We are all disappointed with the situation of our country," Cessay told a massive crowd that stormed Pencha Mi Hall at Paradise Suites Hotel in Kololi.
The newly formed political party has officially joined a crowded political field, becoming the eleventh registered political organisation. The emergence of Citizens' Alliance (CA) comes at a time when the country's political landscape is shifting gradually.
What is more disappointing, he went on, is the lack of action, a vision and a strategy to address what he described as "the most basic issues" that affect the lives and livelihood of ordinary Gambians.
He decried the increase in youth unemployment, forcing some of them to opt for the perilous journey to Europe as they rather prefer to die at sea than facing undignified living conditions at home.
Dr. Ceesay denounced the continued rise of the public debt, plunging the country into an endless trap that is hampering development efforts. A situation that has left previous regimes with no alternative to opt out of the vicious cycle.
"Citizens' Alliance is a political organisation founded on the ideals of democracy, civil liberties, social cohesion and social justice," he remarked. "CA is created to respond to the country's desperate needs for a new effective, transformative and innovative leadership."
Pushing ahead with a national inclusion agenda, Dr. Ceesay reminded the gathering that CA will make sure that the new type of leadership will not only focus on uniting the country, but also address the many challenges facing society.
He reiterated their resolve to pursue a citizens' driven agenda that would ultimately eradicate all forms of discrimination against any citizen or group of citizens.
"We will embrace out country's diversity, ensure equity and equality and promote justice," he added. "The Citizens' Alliance is committed to inclusive democracy, rule of law, good governance, accountability and transparency."
Speaking earlier, Citizens' Alliance Interim National Chairperson, Dominic Mendy, said the newly formed party constitutes a new platform for the development of The Gambia.
The party, he said, was formed not just to win elections, but to secure the future of this challenged nation.
"As a nation, we had had several false starts and overtime, it has become evidence that we need to succeed this time," he voiced out.
He then announced that a new of concerned citizens have emerged over these past months, ready to tackle the rise challenges Gambia is confronted with.
Mendy, who previously held the portfolio of Finances and Economic Affairs under the Jammeh regime, made it clear that they make sure that the country will not suffer from a false start.
"This time, The Gambia must find a solution," he emphasised while indicating that CA is set to move the country in a new direction.
Citizens' Alliance Interim Chairperson said the time has come for the country to harness its potential.
"After 22 years of authoritarian rule and a peaceful change of government, Gambians have shown the capacity to choose good from evil," he stated.
Mendy warned that a progressive country cannot be achieved on the grounds of tribalism. "It has to be achieved on the grounds of tolerance!"
In a goodwill message delivered on stage, Raffie Diab sounded the alarm bell over the deplorable situation people living the country's hinterland are confronted with.
"In some areas, it seems the clock has stopped working since independence," he said in an attempt to open people's mind to devastating reality prevailing in rural Gambia.
The launching ceremony was also punctuated by speeches emanating from representatives coming from various regions of the tiny West African country. Under the umbrella of Citizens' Alliance,
they all vowed to make a difference in Gambian politics…

Lowell Cambodian leaders say more need to stand…
Lowell Cambodian leaders say more need to stand up and be counted
Rithy Uong, shown in the halls of Lowell High, was the first Cambodian to be elected to public office in the country when he won a Lowell City Council seat in 1999, finishing sixth. SUN/David Brow To order this photo please visit our MyCapture site.
By David Perry |
More than two dozen people have filed into the basement of the Coalition for a Better Acre building on Merrimack Street on a Wednesday afternoon in July.
They gather for Khmer Connection, to discuss issues facing their community.
A handsome man in a dark suit and yellow tie greets them. He shakes hands and chats.
His name is Sam Meas. He is a Republican running for the 5th District seat in Congress held by Niki Tsongas.
He lives in Haverhill and is a principal with State Street Global Advisors in Boston.
He is thinking of moving to Lowell, he says, with his wife and two daughters.
He is 36. Well, maybe 38, or perhaps, 34. U.S. immigration officials list his date of birth as Dec. 31, 1972; the records of his birth in Cambodia's Kandal Province were destroyed by Pol Pot's regime.
He says he learned to fight for his beliefs as an orphan in the Khao-I-Dang refuge camp in Thailand, where he lived for more than three years, beginning in 1983.
Sponsored by Catholic Charities of Virginia, he arrived on U.S. soil on Nov. 16, 1986.
"From what I understand, some momentum has been lost here," he says of Lowell's Cambodian-American politics. "When you don't have a lot of folks well-assimilated to the American political process, people can get discouraged."
He figures that with Lowell's Cambodian-American population — "30,000, 35,000?" — and "only about 2,000-3,000 registered voters, that's very low. And it's one of the reasons I'm running for office. I really want to inspire and energize other Asian-Americans."
He knows topping Tsongas won't be easy.
Meas says he wants to inspire the immigrant community. His vision: In five years, two Cambodians on the City Council, in 10 years, a Cambodian mayor.
"Cambodians, Vietnamese, Laotians, we all have a stake in this. The political process is not only open to Caucasian Americans."
Cambodian refugees who arrived in the 1980s and 1990s wanted survival in their new homeland, not necessarily a role in politics.
Cambodians in Lowell follow their homeland politics, particularly Cambodia's longtime prime minister, Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge officer before changing sides, and opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who frequently visits Lowell to raise money.
But "to them it is not a priority to say 'I dictate the policy of this city," says Vong Ros of his community's political involvement in Lowell.
Many Cambodians are still not fluent in English. Perhaps most of all, the genocide ingrained deep mistrust of government.
Dahvy Tran recalls walking out of a Market Basket store in Lowell several years ago, where John Kerry was campaigning.
"It was the first time I realized we elected people like we do here," says Tran, 22, who works with the Asian Task Force.
Her mother's escape from Cambodia colored family perceptions of politics.
"In Cambodia, if you spoke out against the government they would kill you," she says. "Out of fear, you just kind of go with whatever happens. And people who came here were afraid that what happened with the Khmer Rouge would happen again. The Khmer Rouge kept endless lists of people, and the older generation gets nervous, and doesn't want information known."
Older refugees fear the government turning on them here, too, she says.
"You're talking about a genocide where parents were forced to kill their own kids, and where neighbors ratted each other out to save their own lives. So you looked for who you could trust and if you don't have trust, you don't have a community."
A high-water moment for Lowell's Cambodian community came a decade ago. Rithy Uong won a seat on the City Council, the first Cambodian-American elected to such a body nationally. His losses in life included two brothers, who died in Cambodia's killing fields.
But for Lowell's Khmer community, Uong was one of their own.
"When he was elected, I was very, very happy and proud," recalls Socheath Uch, a 69-year-old Cambodian refugee who arrived in Lowell in 1981. "To see a Cambodian person in office was an opportunity for other people to realize Cambodian people aren't stupid. We vote, and are here to stay."
Even Uong couldn't believe he won.
Uong was not the first Cambodian to run in Lowell. Sambath Chey Fennell launched an unsuccessful bid for School Committee in 1995.
And Uong did not look only within the Cambodian community for support. He knew politics, spending 1992 in Cambodia, working for the United Nations to monitor elections there.
According to Dan Toomey, formerly of UMass Lowell's Center for Family, Work and Community, just 250 Cambodians were registered voters in 1997.
"And only 75 voted."
Uong, a Lowell High School guidance counselor, started feeling the pull that year.
"I hadn't ever cared about politics that much," says Uong, 49, a former president of the CMAA. "But after helping with free and fair elections, and seeing people starved for democracy, it was different."
Uong and others started organizing to enlist a Cambodian candidate.
"We were talking about getting someone to run for the City Council and School Committee. And nobody wanted to run. At the time, I was president of the CMAA, and helped get the Southeast Asian Water Festival here, under Samkhann Khoeun. In 1998, we started talking but no one thought there was hope to get a seat. I finally said, 'I will do it, but I need all of you.'"
Fred Faust, a Belvidere resident entrenched in local politics, supported Uong, throwing a party that raised $7,000.
"His friends told him, you're crazy to support somebody who isn't well-known," Uong says. "But he stayed with it."
Mel King, the Boston activist, helped. Members of Boston's Chinatown community held Uong signs in Lowell. There were TV commercials. The Boston media took notice.
Uong finished 11th of 24, in the preliminary in 1999. In the general election, he finished sixth, landing one of the Council's nine seats. He drew nearly one-fourth of his votes from the mostly white, middle-class Belvidere and Upper Highlands areas.
People jumped up and down with joy at his victory party at the Park Cafe.
"You couldn't find a better moment," he says, still relishing the win.
"If my head gets too big," he told his friends, "tell me. If I forget my friends, let me know."
"Rithy hit it at just the right time for the right support," says Mehmed Ali, who spent years documenting Lowell's history as director of UMass Lowell's Patrick J. Mogan Center. (He also worked to elect Uong in 2001 and 2003, and waged his own unsuccessful 2007 Council bid.) "Belvidere 10 years ago was more liberal than it is today, and the support there was critical for him. Nobody else has pulled it off because they haven't gotten the support of the white community. If enough Cambodians voted, they could elect a candidate."
Uong was regarded as a consensus builder between the newer Southeast Asian residents and the city's predominantly white old guard.
He was re-elected in 2001 and 2003, but resigned in August 2005 after the state Ethics Commission ruled he should not have accepted a 2002 promotion from guidance counselor to housemaster while on the Council.
Ali, now cultural affairs liaison for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, says Uong's resignation may have had little impact.
"He's still well-respected within the Cambodian community. It's possible his downfall deterred others from running. If a candidate who has done a lot for the community didn't make it … but it isn't easy. Someone who is an immigrant who doesn't speak English as a first language … there are some people in Lowell who won't vote for a guy born in Wisconsin."
In 2005, three Cambodian-American candidates were on the ballot in Lowell. Fennell and Rady Mom failed to reach City Council seats, and Vesna Nuon ran his third consecutive losing bid for School Committee. Nuon serves on the appointed city Zoning Board of Appeals.
In 2007, there were no Cambodian candidates. This year, none again, though the ballot includes immigrants from Nigeria (Ben Opara), the Azores, Portugal (Jose Gabriel) and India (Syed Hussain).
"All I know is, I did everything I could possibly do," says Nuon, 42, one night over coffee. He also works for the state's Sex Offender Registry Board.
"It was not my loss, it was the city's loss. I ran within the larger community. But there's still a long way to go in getting people to register to vote. Then, we can hold our heads up to address the issues."
"We talk about future leaders and candidates a lot," Ros says. "But it gets sidetracked by current conditions."
Both UML's Center for Family, Work and Community (CFWC) and the non-profit ONE Lowell began working to register Cambodian voters. It was not easy. Survivors of a genocide do not give up their personal information easily.
According to Victoria Fahlberg of ONE Lowell, 1,221 Cambodians were registered to vote in 2001. By 2004, there were 1,889. And by 2005, there were 2,751, up 45 percent in a year.
Lack of funding and resources stalled the registration push, so ONE Lowell has focused on citizenship. Since December 2006, the group helped 1,275 Cambodian refugees apply for citizenship. Fahlberg says 752 have passed the test and become naturalized.
She says ONE Lowell's proportional representation voting proposal, if approved on the Nov. 3 ballot (it would begin in 2011), will increase diversity on elected city boards.
Under the current system, those who get the most votes win. Under proportional representation, voters rank candidates beginning with their top choice. Once candidates reach a certain threshold, a percentage of the leftover votes are moved to a voter's second choice.
Supporters say it better represents the minority and the majority.
"If you look at history, it was many, many years for a French-Canadian name to actually show up on a ballot in Lowell," says professor Robert Forrant, of UMass Lowell's Department of Regional Economic and Social Development and the CFWC. "And it was a while after they'd had a significant population here." It can take two or three generations before new groups have an impact on local politics, Forrant says.
Linda Silka, former director CFWC agrees. "The folks who grew up in Cambodia and came to the U.S. in their late teens or older, have now produced a generation of young people who are growing up in Lowell. It is their home, and they're becoming young professionals. They have more at stake.
"Sometimes, it takes a little longer, but it will happen. It didn't happen overnight for other ethnic groups in Lowell or anywhere else."
Chuck Sart, 39, an investigator for the Massachusetts Department of Children and families and longtime community activist, says, "In American politics, if you're not involved, you're not part of the process. You have to vote, we need the numbers, or we're not going anywhere."
"Should there be a Cambodian on the City Council? Of course! It would be an added quality to the Council, which should be reflective of the community, a representative government. But we want a candidate that the general population can say, oh, yeah, he's someone that cares about all of Lowell. Not just Cambodians, but about the community at large."
Uch votes "every time …I think I have to vote as an American citizen." Some of his friends vote, but "others are just too lazy."
If all of those who could vote, did, "we would have people in office. There are a lot of us, and we need to help each other get there."
The message of the Obama presidential campaign made all things possible, says Dahvy Tran. Last November, her mother voted for the first time.

Climate News Network: Climate change did not cause Syrian war
Drought brought on by climate change is not responsible for the Syrian war, scientists say, but it has helped to make conflict likelier.

Climate change in the form of sustained drought is not to blame for the bloody and prolonged conflict in Syria, according to a new study.
But drought nevertheless plays a contributing role in creating the conditions for conflict – and a database of 1,800 riots over a cycle of 21 years delivers the evidence to support that hypothesis, according to a second study.
The idea that climate change, with consequential drought and famine in its wake, can drive conflict and topple kingdoms, empires and civilisations is not a new one: climate change has been identified as a factor in the fall of the ancient Assyrian empire and the fall of the Mayan civilisation, and the recent drought in the eastern Mediterranean has been identified as the worst in 900 years.
No evidence
But, scientists in the UK argue in the journal Political Geography, there is no evidence to support climate change as a factor in the Syrian civil war.
This is an argument not likely to be settled by any one study. Researchers in the last three years have repeatedly warned that climate is likely to be a contributing factor to civil conflict or violence in some cases simply because hot weather and short tempers seemed statistically linked, in others because prolonged drought turns farmers and herdsmen into climate refugees.
And the flight from the land has been linked with the beginning of civil unrest in Syrian cities. This argument has been invoked by, among others, former US President Obama, Prince Charles of Great Britain, the World Bank and Friends of the Earth.
Not so, say the scholars in Political Geography. They argue that though the drought was severe, it was not necessarily caused by man-made climate change driven by profligate combustion of fossil fuels, and that although drought contributed to migration to the cities, this would have involved not 1.5 million people but no more than 60,000 families. Economic liberalisation in any case may have been the more important factor, they say.
"Droughts are a factor that add fuel to flames that are already burning"
"Our paper finds that there is no sound evidence that global climate change was a factor in sparking the Syrian civil war. Indeed, it is extraordinary that this claim has become so widely accepted when the scientific evidence for it is so thin," said Jan Selby, who directs the Centre for Conflict and Security Research at Sussex University in the UK.
"Global climate change is a very real challenge, and will undoubtedly have significant conflict and security consequences, but there is no good evidence that this is what was going on in this case.
"It is vital that experts, commentators and policymakers resist the temptation to make exaggerated claims about the conflict implications of climate change. Overblown claims not based on rigorous science only risk fuelling climate scepticism."
Link persists
But the link between climate and violence remains. European researchers report in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management that they studied the pattern of rioting recorded in sub-Saharan Africa between 1990 and 2011, and found a systematic link between sudden depletion of water resources and the outbreak of unrest.
They used statistical reasoning to find that droughts raised the risk of rioting from 10% to 50% in a given month in any region. There were other factors: density of population, the presence of lakes and rivers and the local ethnic mix could all contribute to the probabilities of conflict. That did not mean that droughts "cause" conflict.
"In order of importance, it is political, economic or social causes that create tension," said Jérémy Lucchetti, a professor in the University of Geneva's economics and management faculty, who led the study.
"Droughts are a factor that add fuel to flames that are already burning." – Climate News Network, 11 October 2017

Cannes Film Festival rules out physical event happening this year
The Cannes Film Festival appears to not be going ahead with any physical event this year, having previously cancelled the event in its traditional May slot amid the coronavirus pandemic.
While it was announced in April that the festival would not be going ahead as planned, there had been some suggestions that it could be delayed to a later date, even if it was not in its "original form".
However, the festival's organisers have suggested that any sort of physical version of the festival will now not be possible in 2020, and will instead collaborate with other festivals to present some of its films.
"Under the circumstances, a physical edition of Cannes 2020 is hard to envisage, so we'll have to do something different," director Thierry Frémaux told Screen.

"Everyone understands that that's impossible this year," he added. "The Cannes Film Festival, which by its nature is a globalised institution, can't escape being a victim in the same way as the rest of human activities."
A spokesperson for the festival echoed his words, saying (via Variety): "As of today, a physical edition seems complicated to organize, so we are going forward with an announcement of films from the (initial Official) Selection at the beginning of June."
The spokesperson added that Cannes will now organise a "redeployment 'outside the walls' (of Cannes), in collaboration with fall festivals", including Venice — with whom talks have begun — and cinemas.

The festival will announce its Official Selection picks — which compete for top prizes such as the Palme D'Or and Un Certain Regard, as well as Out of Competition – that were scheduled to be released theatrically between now and spring 2021.
These films will be given the 'Cannes 2020' label. Some movies that were selected for this year but have delayed their releases may be considered for the 2021 edition.
Frémaux added: "Once we've announced the list, the aim is to start organising events in cinemas. Professionals the world over with whom we're in contact on a daily basis, tell us that this represents an opportunity for their projects."
The labelled films are also planned to show at the likes of Toronto, Deauville, Angoulême, San Sebastian, New York, Busan and the Lumière festival, and Frémaux added that they hoped to go one further and jointly present movies at Venice.

DANGER Drops Music Video For "19:00" (Ft. Tasha The Amazon)
By Tess McDermott	• 2 years ago
DANGER, the mysterious alter ego of Franck Rivoire, has just released an intensely innovative video for his track "19:00," off his debut studio album '太鼓', out now on Rivoire's own label, 1789 Records.
DANGER lives up to expectations with this dark and provocative soundscape, employing Tasha The Amazon's sultry vocals in tandem with his steady tribal rhythm. The paced beat of this track is likely a nod to the album's namesake, translated to 'Taiko', meaning percussion in Japanese.
The stunning music video delves into the relationships between nature and technology, young and old, good and evil, portrayed in neon splendor. The dynamic camera work coupled with the intense, bone-rattling beat adds a sense of ominous drama to the track – a style DANGER revels in. DANGER has a long-standing love of anime and experience as a graphic designer, so it's no surprise the visual result matches so flawlessly with the vibe of the track.
In support of the album release, DANGER will be on tour in North America. Stay up to date with all new announcements via his socials below.

Dancefloor Casanova by Barbary Coast
Title: Dancefloor Casanova
It is hardly unusual for a band to draw heavily from the sounds of the past for their inspiration but it is unusual, these days at least, for any band to attempt to duplicate anything that requires anything other than the merest modicum of skill. Glasgow's Barbary Coast, to their credit, seem to have borrowed a book on eighties jazz funk flavoured pop for their four songs and made a convincing job of doing what the cool kids won't.
Consequently, there is a light – like synthetic whipped cream, if you like – feel to the songs in "Dancefloor Casanova" with Craig Rodger sounding like he should be fronting a revival of, or perhaps a tribute to, Level 42 or Haircut 100. "November" rolls forward with apparent simplicity even if a careful listen soon reveals that Barbary Coast are far from underachievers and, to further reinforce their conviction, Jonathan Gormal decorates "Live for the Night" with his rhythm driven guitar work whilst tipping his hat to the greatness of the likes of Eric Gale.
The beat goes on and the message is clear. Work hard at what you do and people will take you seriously. Barbary Coast deserve to be taken seriously.
Their "Dancefloor Casanova" EP is available for download from Bandcamp.

There is nothing like spending some time traveling and discovering new places.
With 2 days off, I decided it was perfect for a small vacation and off to the beach we went!
We went to Grand Bend beach and I found this hidden jem trough #OntarioSouthwest Instagram account and what a place!
Grand Bend beach reminds me of my hometown with long sandy beaches, beautiful blue water (that looks like the ocean btw) and local shops!
We also went to Pinery Provincial Park so our dog could enjoy the vacay by the beach too!
Besides the fun part of being on a vacation, there is always down time specially in the morning when everybody is lazy and just wants to relax.
And there is nothing wrong with that! But instead of staying in bed for a couple more hours, why not make time for a run?
Thats what came to my mind even before leaving home. So I packed my running gear and brought with me.
After a fun day by the beach, next day I woke up earlier and I decided to go for a easy 8k run beside the lake.
It was an awesome opportunity to run in a new location and to see things in a different perspective.
