MERATA
Ark Lodge Cinemas
Thank you for your interest! There may be a few tickets available at the venue if you missed the online window.
Sankofa Film Society presents ARRAY's latest release, MERATA
A documentary portrait of the pioneering indigenous filmmaker and activist Merata Mita, MERATA is an intimate tribute from a son about his mother that delves in the life of the first woman from an Indigenous Nation to solely direct a film anywhere in the world. Known as the grandmother of Indigenous cinema, Merata's independent political documentaries of the 70's and 80's highlighted injustices for Maori people that often divided the country. Mita was fearless in her life, her activism and her art. MERATA chronicles Mita's journey to decolonize the film and television screens of New Zealand and the world.
MERATA documents the filmmakers work, her early struggles with her family and her drive for social just that often proved personally dangerous. Programmed as MERATA: HOW MUM DECOLONISED THE SCREEN, the film made its World Premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

is an air base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), the United States Air Force, and the United States Navy located in Misawa, Aomori, in the northern part of the island of Honshū of Japan. It is located  northeast of Misawa railway station,  west of the Pacific Ocean,  northeast of Towada,  northwest of Hachinohe, and  north of Tokyo at the "Tip of the Spear". It is a Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) facility with the 35th Fighter Wing (35 FW, about 48 F-16 aircraft split among the 13th and 14th Fighter Squadrons) as its host wing. It hosts both Japanese and American troops.

History

Origins
What is now called Misawa Air Base has been used by the military since the Meiji period, when it was used as a cavalry training center for the Imperial Army.

In 1870, the Emperor Meiji established a stud farm for the household cavalry in the area that later became Misawa AB, and kept his own (Tenno Heika) cavalry there until 1931, when the Sino-Japanese conflict required their use in China. Misawa remained a training center for Japanese Cavalry until the Japanese Army constructed the first runway at Misawa for military aircraft in 1938.

Misawa Air Base was near the takeoff site of the world's first non-stop trans-Pacific flight in 1931. Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon took off from a gravel runway on Sabishiro Beach near Misawa in the aircraft known as Miss Veedol, landing 41 hours later in Wenatchee, Washington, thereby successfully crossing the Pacific Ocean. The runway is commemorated by a large sign in the coastal forest and is a popular beach and recreation area for Misawa AB personnel.  The cities of Wenatchee and Misawa cemented their special relationship by becoming official sister cities in 1981, strengthening their friendship through annual cultural exchange programs.

The Imperial Army transformed Misawa into an air base in 1938 when it was used as a base for long-range bombers. By early 1941, the Genzan Flying Corps trained at Misawa. The base was taken over by the Imperial Navy Air Corps in 1942, when the 22d Imperial Naval Air Wg assumed control of the base and the mission was changed to research and development. In 1944, facilities were built for Kamikaze Special Attack forces.

World War II
Before the outbreak of World War II, Lake Ogawara at Misawa was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service to practice for the attack on Pearl Harbor. The lake was used because it was similar in depth to Pearl Harbor. The Japanese military fashioned hills near the shore of the lake to resemble the shapes of Battleships and Cruisers that were anchored in Pearl Harbor. This provided for a realistic view for their pilots from the air. The pilots conducted low level bombing runs, dropping torpedoes into the shallow depths of Lake Ogawara. This practice developed and refined the method to attack the ships that were anchored at Pearl Harbor. During World War II, the Misawa area was heavily damaged (base 90 percent destroyed) by U.S. fighters and bombers.

Postwar era
The American occupation of Misawa began in September 1945. Misawa had to be almost completely reconstructed by occupying U.S. forces by Army engineers who restored the base for future use by the United States Army Air Forces. During the Korean War and Vietnam War, Misawa supported fighter missions. The base was the launching point for clandestine surveillance overflights into China and the USSR during the 1950s.

After the immediate postwar reconstruction of facilities, the first permanent USAAF tenant was the 613th Air Control and Warning Squadron (613th AC&WS), taking up residence on July 15, 1946 and providing air traffic control in the Misawa area for the next decade.

49th Fighter Bomber Wing
The first operational fighter wing was the 49th Fighter-Bomber Group, being reassigned to Misawa on March 31, 1948. The 49th had three operational squadrons, the 7th, 8th and 9th, and flew the P-80 Shooting Star along with a few P-61 Black Widow night fighters. The 49th FBW performed occupation duties in Japan and took part in maneuvers and surveillance patrols as part of Far East Air Forces. In February 1950, the unit was redesignated as the 49th Fighter-Bomber Wing, with the group being its operational component.

Korean War
With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the 49th Fighter-Bomber Group was split off from the wing and was one of the first USAF units dispatched to Korea from Japan, its tactical squadrons began operations with F-51D Mustangs as the F-51D performed the ground support role better than the Shooting Stars. The group was rejoined with the wing in December 1950 when the Wing was reassigned to Taegu AB (K-2).

At Misawa, the 49th was replaced by the 6163d Air Base Wing to perform host and occupation duties. The 41st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron from the 35th FIW at Johnson AB was deployed to Misawa to provide air defense starting in September 1950, remaining until February 1951, being replaced by the 40th FIS also from Johnson AB, which remained until July. The 27th Fighter-Escort Wing was transferred from Taegu to Misawa in October, and remained at the base until January 20, 1953 to provide air defense flying straight-winged Republic F-84G Thunderjets which proved inadequate against the North Korean MiG-15s it encountered over Korean airspace.

Between May and August 1953, the 12th Strategic Fighter Wing pulled a rotational TDY at Misawa relieving the 27th and being relieved in turn by the 31st Strategic Fighter Wing. remaining until February 12, 1954. The 12th SFW returned for a second TDY in May 1954, remaining until August.

The 49th Fighter-Bomber Wing was relieved from its duties in South Korea on November 7, 1953 and resumed its host duties at the base. It remained at Misawa until December 10, 1957, however its operational control of its squadrons and group came under the 39th Air Division on March 1, 1955.

Cold War

39th Air Division
On March 1, 1952, the 39th Air Division was established at Misawa, and through January 15, 1968, the Air Division controlled all of the units responsible for the air defense of north Japan, which included northern Honshū and Hokkaidō islands and the contiguous territorial waters.

Wings controlled by the 39th AD were:

 49th Fighter Bomber Wing March 1, 1955 – April 15, 1957
4th Fighter Bomber Wing March 8, 1955 – December 8, 1957
21st Tactical Fighter Wing November 10, 1958 – June 18, 1960

Squadrons controlled by the 39th AD were:

 4th Fighter Interceptor Squadron March 1, 1955 – June 20, 1965
45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron April 25, 1960 – January 15, 1968
67th Tactical Fighter Squadron December 15, 1967 – January 15, 1968
 339th Fighter Interceptor Squadron March 1, 1955 – January 15, 1958
 356th Tactical Fighter Squadron November 29, 1965 – January 15, 1968
 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron June 18, 1960 – June 16, 1964
 418th Fighter Day Squadron December 10, 1957 – March 25, 1958
 531st Tactical Fighter Squadron June 18, 1960 – June 16, 1964
 612th Tactical Fighter Squadron November 3, 1965 – January 15, 1968.

In this role the 39th trained the assigned units and controlled aerial interception missions when Japanese air space was violated. The division also controlled air refueling and ECM missions, and trained personnel of the Japanese Air Self Defense Force in flying operations, radar operations and maintenance, and proper radio procedures.

After the Soviet Union shot down an RB-29 aircraft on November 7, 1954, the 39th provided fighter escort for all friendly reconnaissance aircraft flying near Soviet territory and the Northern Air Defense Sector.

The division also supported combat operations during the Vietnam War.

Aircraft flown by the 39th AD included the F-84, 1952–1954, 1958–1959; KB-29, 1953–1954; North American F-86 Sabre, 1954–1960; F-100, 1957–1964; F-102, 1960–1965; RF-101, 1960–1968; F-105, 1967–1968.

Japanese Air Forces
The first Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) units were activated at Misawa in October 1954, and the first Japanese Northern Air Defense Force units began operations in 1957.

475th Air Base Wing
The 31st Air Division was inactivated on January 15, 1968, and was replaced at Misawa by the 475th Air Base Wing. The operational squadron at the base was the 67th Tactical Fighter Squadron, being deployed to Misawa from the 18th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Kadena AB, Okinawa. The squadron remained detached at Misawa until March 15, 1971 when the flight line was transferred to the United States Navy and all U.S. Air Force fighter sorties ended.

6112th Air Base Group

The 6112th ABG took over the base host duties at Misawa in 1971, with the inactivation of the 475th ABW. For the next several years, Misawa's focus was with the electronic intelligence gathering mission of the 6921st (later 6920th) Security Wing of the U.S. Air Force Security Service. The 6112th ABG performed PACAF administrative duties. The flight line was controlled by Naval Aviation units, with the JASDF operating from its own flight lines. The JASDF took over control of the airspace over Misawa on October 1, 1978.

During this period, the base hosted various Allied exercises in the region and the 6112th ABG provided support for 13 Air Force associated non-flying units, 14 DOD agencies and the JASDF units stationed in the Misawa area until September 1, 1982.

In 1983, Misawa was a major deployment site for rescue and recovery operations, following the downing of Korean Air Flight 007.

432d Tactical Fighter Wing
In July 1984, the 432d Tactical Fighter Wing was reactivated at Misawa on the resumption of operational PACAF flying. The 432d controlled two F-16 Fighting Falcon squadrons (13th, 14th FS) and a rescue squadron (39th RQS) flying the HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant" helicopter.

Post Cold War

The 35th Fighter Wing was redesignated and reassigned October 1, 1994 when it inactivated at Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland and was reactivated the same day at Misawa where the wing assumed the missions and responsibilities previously performed by the 432nd Fighter Wing.

Near the 1995 new year, Misawa experienced two earthquakes—7.5 and 7.9 on the Richter scale at the epicenter off the coast of Hachinohe.

On July 25, 1998, a US F-16 based at Misawa was unable to become airborne and collided with an antenna array at the east end of Misawa's runway and exploded. The pilot ejected, but landed in the flaming wreckage of the jet. He succumbed to his injuries on September 17th, 1998 at Brooke Army Medical Center.

Global War on Terror
On September 25, 2003, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake occurred off the east coast of Hokkaidō which was strongly felt in Misawa and all of Aomori Prefecture. Damage to Misawa Air Base was limited to burst water mains, cosmetic cracks in walls and personal property damage. There were no reports of damage to the base runway. This was the largest earthquake reported by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for 2003.

On July 17, 2007, a US F-16 from Misawa, while deployed to the 13th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, Balad AB, Iraq crashed after delinquent tire pressure testing and pilot misinterpretation. The pilot ejected safely and there were no injuries or deaths.

The base was slightly damaged by the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and experienced a black out. There were concerns about flooding from the tsunami reaching the base, and about a nearby nuclear facility, the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant.

After the quake, personnel and aircraft from the base assisted with Operation Tomodachi. The base also served as an important hub for airlifted assistance during the disaster recovery efforts. During the crisis, around 1,400 American family members voluntarily departed the base for locations outside Japan.

In April 2015, two US F-16s based at Misawa made an emergency landing at a local airport after oil started leaking from one of the fighters.

In October 2016, four Royal Air Force Typhoon fighters from  No. 2 Squadron RAF supported by a Voyager aerial tanker and a C-17 deployed to Misawa for the first bilateral exercises in Japan for the JASDF to host conducted with non-U.S. forces.

On February 20, 2018, a US F-16 based at Misawa dumped two external fuel tanks into the nearby Lake Ogawara after experiencing an engine fire.

On January 14, 2019, a US F-16 based at Misawa made a precautionary landing at a Japanese regional airport after a problem with the aircraft. It was later revealed that this was due to a plastic piece falling off of the aircraft mid-flight.

On April 3, 2019, a Japanese F-35A based at Misawa crashed over the Pacific Ocean approximately 85 miles East of Misawa Air Base. The cause was attributed to the pilot experiencing spatial disorientation. The JASDF proceeded to ground their F-35 fleet until safety inspections and additional training for pilots on spatial disorientation could be completed. Some debris from the aircraft was recovered, however, the pilot's remains were not recovered until June 2019.

On November 1, 2019, a US F-16 based at Misawa accidentally dropped an inert training device about 3 miles North of Misawa Air Base's Draughon Range, into a privately owned field. There were no injuries or deaths.

On February 2, 2020, the 35th Fighter Wing Commander temporarily tightened the base's curfew and prohibited the consumption of alcohol off-post until March 2nd, 2020. This was due to 5 DUI cases and eight other alcohol related incidents over the course of December 2019 and January 2020.

In May 2021, the US Navy forward deployed Unmanned Patrol Squadron 19, operating two MQ-4C Tritons, from Andersen AFB to Naval Air Facility Misawa under CTF-72. The aircraft returned to Andersen AFB in Oct 2021.

Post Global War on Terror
On December 1, 2021, a US F-16 based at Misawa dropped its external fuel tank in the town of Fukaura, Aomori, during an in-flight emergency. The fuel tank fell near homes and the town hall of Fukaura. There were no injuries or deaths following the incident, and the F-16 made an emergency landing at Aomori Airport. The Japanese Ministry of Defense requested the base ground all F-16s, until it could be determined they were fit to fly.

In March 2022, The Japan Air Self Defense Force acquired the first of three RQ-4B Global Hawks which were stationed at Misawa as part of the 3rd Air Wing. All three are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2022.

In September 2022, the 35th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron was inactivated and split into the 13th and 14th Fighter Generation Squadrons under the 35th Maintenance Group.

Role and operations
Misawa is the only combined, joint service installation in the western Pacific. It houses three U.S. military services (Air Force, Navy, and Army), as well as the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The base is home to 5,200 US military personnel, as well as 350 US civilian employees and 900 Japanese national employees.

The Misawa Passive Radio Frequency space surveillance site was used for tracking satellites using the signals they transmit. It also provided coverage of geosynchronous satellites using the Deep Space Tracking System (DSTS) but was dismantled around 2002. The Misawa Security Operations Center (MSOC), located in the northwestern part of the Air Base, is believed to be one of the largest ECHELON ground stations.

United States

The United States Air Force's 35th Fighter Wing (35 FW) is the host unit at Misawa Air Base. The wing conducts daily F-16 flight training to maintain its combat readiness. Its pilots fly air-to-air weapons delivery exercises over water and sharpen their air-to-ground skills using the Draughon Gunnery Range (formerly Ripsaw Range) located 12 miles north of Misawa.

Four groups are assigned to the 35th Fighter Wing: the 35th Maintenance Group, the 35th Mission Support Group, 35th Medical Group and 35th Operations Group. Operational fighter squadrons of the 35th Operations Group are:

13th Fighter Squadron "Panthers", Red tail stripe
14th Fighter Squadron "Samurais", Yellow tail stripe

Both squadrons fly the Block 50 F-16C/D "Wild Weasels", and use the tail code of "WW" (before adopting the "WW" tail code, the code "MJ" (for Misawa, Japan) was carried.

Changes in Qatar Rent Laws
From today's Gulf Times Qatar
New rent law seen a victory for tenants
By Sarmad Qazi
In a major victory for tenants, rent disputes can now be taken up with the Rental Dispute Resolving Committee (RDRC) regardless of whether the contract was registered or not, a senior official said yesterday.
This follows amendments in the rental law.
Law number 20 of 2009 sees changes to some provisions of the previous law number 4 of 2008 issued by HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani on October 25, the official said adding it further protected the rights of tenants in Qatar.
"There are two things in the new rule: you can come here, whether or not your contract is registered and speak to a judge, and secondly the landlord must now give at least six months notice of eviction," the official said.
The law number 4 of 2008 was aimed at regulating the market by making registration of rental contracts mandatory and by establishing the RDRC with its own jurisdiction to take up grievances at a time of near-record inflation in the country.
"But we know the law missed out on rental contracts made prior to the 2008 law or based on goodwill and word only. In these cases we weren't able to address any complaint," the official at the RDRC's headquarters in Muntazah (now Rawdat al-Khail) said.
"This amendment changes all that," he added.
However, according to him, with the rents showing declining trends, the number of disputes is also falling; currently only 15 new cases are being filed at the RDRC every day.
The nature of cases varies from landlords wanting to hike the rent despite a two-year freeze since 2008, to non-payment claims and eviction notices.
A year ago the RDRC was registering 1,500 cases a month.
The official also dismissed questions about the effectiveness of RDRC saying so far this year its five committees have addressed and closed 1,205 cases. Only "600 or so are ongoing," he said.
The committees have three members and one judge each.
"Yes it is true that 50% of RDRC decisions are later challenged in the appeal court (in Dafna), but 90% of the time the judge there upholds the rulings," the official said.
Veteran lawyer Ala'a Hamad, a partner at the Arab Law Forum, yesterday said every new law requires takes time to prove its effectiveness.
"This was a new law and the more it's practiced, it will prove its effectiveness.
"The tweaking is an ongoing process just as with foreign investment and other laws," Hamad said.

Phillies pitcher Zach Eflin allowed just one earned run in five innings Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter, Fla.
JUPITER, Fla. – The Phillies made a rare trip to the east coast of Florida Sunday night, but the bus that carried the team from their spring-training home in Clearwater and across Yeehaw Junction did not include a lot of guys who you will see in Philadelphia on opening day. One of the few exceptions was right-hander Zach Eflin, who made his penultimate spring-training start Monday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Eflin's outing went well enough, especially since the pitcher did not feel he was at his best. He allowed just one earned run on four hits and a walk in five innings, lowering his spring-training ERA to 2.40.
"The one mistake he made was the slider to [Paul] Goldschmidt," manager Gabe Kapler said.
The fifth-inning mistake bounced off a building beyond the left-field fence for a two-run home run and it gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead on their way to a 4-1 win.
Zach Eflin, shown during a game last week, made his penultimate start in spring training on Monday.
It will not be the last mistake punished by Goldschmidt this season, but the St. Louis runs were unearned because of a two-out error charged to second baseman Gregorio Petit.
This is the first time in Eflin's career he has arrived in spring training with a spot in the starting rotation pretty much assured and he believes this needs to be a defining season. He will make one more Grapefruit League start before his likely regular-season debut April 2 against the Nationals in Washington.
Right fielder Bryce Harper got his first hit as a Phillie – sort of. Playing in a minor-league game against a Detroit Tigers affiliate, Harper went 2-for-4 with two singles and he also played four innings in right field.
"I know he has been saying he wants to get out of spring training with at least one hit," Kapler joked after relaying the report of Harper's day from Clearwater.
Officially, Harper is still hitless in eight at-bats with five strikeouts, but he does have four walks and was hit by a pitch, which is why his on-base percentage is 385 points higher than his batting average. Harper will not play in either a minor-league game or a big-league game Tuesday but is expected to return to the lineup and right field Wednesday in Clearwater against the big-league Tigers.
Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper, shown last week, got two hits and played four innings in a minor-league game Monday in Clearwater, Fla.
Right-hander Drew Anderson is scheduled to make his fifth start of the spring Tuesday against the Houston Astros in West Palm Beach, Fla., and it will give him a chance to solidify his position as the leading candidate to get a call to the big leagues from triple-A Lehigh Valley when the season begins.
Through four starts, Anderson has allowed just one run on six hits and two walks in 12 2/3 innings. With the help of a newly developed cutter, he has also struck out 12 batters. Despite Anderson's outstanding work this spring and the struggles of Vince Velasquez (six earned runs in three innings and two starts), the Phillies' anticipated rotation remains Aaron Nola, Jake Arrieta, Nick Pivetta, Eflin, and Velasquez.
"His next start we're going to push him a little bit," Kapler said of Velasquez.
Velasquez's next start is scheduled for Wednesday.
Asked if the Phillies would consider a four-man rotation to start the season because they have three off days in the first week, Kapler said that was not the plan.
"Nothing is written in stone, but our expectation is we will have five guys make their starts the first time through," Kapler said.
That means opening-day starter Nola will have seven days of rest between his first and second starts and six days between his second and third starts.

The 2018 World Cup draw will take place on 1 December as nations discover how tricky their route to the knockout stages will be.
Gareth Southgate's England will be drawn from pot two, along with Spain, Switzerland, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Croatia and Uruguay.
Southgate has said England cannot afford to "write off" a World Cup. "We've got to attempt to win each game, be as prepared as we can be, and see how far we can go," the 47-year-old told the BBC.
"Of course, a lot of these players are going to peak in two to four years' time, but we can't just write off the tournament. I don't think anyone in England would accept that."
The draw is due to take place on the afternoon of Friday, December 1.
FIFA expects the proceedings to begin at 3 p.m. GMT.
As host nation, the draw will be made in Russia and completed in the Kremlin in Moscow, which was built in 1482.
Can I watch it on television?
Yes. Take your pick: The BBC will be showing it live, as well as Sky Sports and British Eurosport.
If you are not near a television at 3 p.m. you can still watch the whole draw on live-stream. It will be shown on the BBC website.
The 2018 World Cup will begin on June 14 and the final will be held little over a month later on July 15.

Romania: Municipality of Suceava placed under quarantine March 30 /update 4
Government places the municipality of Suceava and eight villages under quarantine due to COVID-19; follow authority directives
Interior Minister Marcel Vela issued an ordinance on Monday, March 30, stating that the municipality of Suceava and eight surrounding villages will be placed under quarantine. The measure comes after one quarter of confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases were recorded in the Suceava region. The affected villages are Adâncata, Bosanci, Salcea, Ipotești, Moara, Șcheia, Pătrăuţi, and Mitocu Dragomirnei. Under the government ordinance, individuals will be prohibited entry and exit in the affected areas except for the transportation of freight, medical assistance, or for individuals who carry out essential economic activities. Though it remains unclear as to when the policy will enter into effect, the quarantine is expected to last until at least mid-April.
The government implemented a nationwide lockdown until further notice, banning individuals from leaving their homes for nonessential reasons and closing all businesses except for those selling food or pharmaceutical products, and those providing veterinary services.
On Wednesday, March 25, Romanian authorities announced a series of new quarantine measures. Individuals arriving in Romania from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Iran will be placed under a mandatory 14-day quarantine in a state facility. All other individuals arriving from abroad will be placed in isolation at home for 14 days. These measures apply to all individuals regardless of nationality.
On Saturday, March 21, Romania closed its borders to all foreigners; only individuals who have family in Romania, those who have residence or long-term visas, and those who are traveling for business will be allowed to enter the country.
To date, there are 2109 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Romania, including 68 associated fatalities. Further international spread of the virus is expected over the coming days and weeks
The first case of COVID-19 was reported on December 31 and the source of the outbreak has been linked to a wet market in Wuhan (Hubei province, China). Human-to-human and patient-to-medical staff transmission of the virus have been confirmed. Many of the associated fatalities have been due to pneumonia caused by the virus.
Cases of the virus have been confirmed in numerous countries and territories worldwide. Virus-screening and quarantining measures are being implemented at airports worldwide, as well as extensive travel restrictions. On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the global outbreak a pandemic.
Pneumonia symptoms include dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing. Pneumonia can be contagious and can be transmitted from human to human. The influenza virus, or the flu, is a common cause of viral pneumonia.
Measures adopted by local authorities evolve quickly and are usually effective immediately. Depending on the evolution of the outbreak in other countries, authorities are likely to modify, at very short notice, the list of countries whose travelers are subject to border control measures or entry restrictions upon their arrival to the territory in question. It is advised to postpone nonessential travel due to the risk that travelers may be refused entry or be subject to quarantine upon their arrival or during their stay.
To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, travelers are advised to abide by the following measures:
Frequently clean hands by applying an alcohol-based hand rub or washing with soap and water.
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with a flexed elbow or tissue; if used, throw the tissue away immediately and wash hands.
If experiencing a fever, cough, difficulty breathing, or any other symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness, including pneumonia, call emergency services before going to the doctor or hospital to prevent the potential spread of the disease.

Top of the ninth. Two outs. Two strikes. Two runners on base. Ohio up by one.
Every player on Ohio's bench was slapping their forearm looking for that last elusive strike.
The Bobcats were going to do it. They were going to beat Ohio State for the first time in 29 years. They were going to snap that 11-game losing streak.
In one of the most back and forth games of the season, Ohio (8-22, 3-6 MAC) lost to the Buckeyes for the 12th straight time, 10-8.
Ohio had done everything right to that point and at one point led by four runs.
It started with a grand slam.
Cole Revels hit a deep ball to right field with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth inning for his first career home run as a Bobcat. This gave Ohio a two-run lead in the fourth inning.
The bench exploded, and after a two-run shot from Rudy Rott in the next inning, the Bobcats had no doubt. They were going to win.
Ohio pitcher Joe Rock added to the confidence.
It's true, Rock was outstanding. He pitched seven innings and allowed only four runs, more than enough to give Ohio a comfortable lead when he left the game.
Two of the runs against Rock came on what appeared to be a routine fly ball, but then sailed over the right field wall for a two-run home run.
Once Rock came out, things went bad.
With Ohio nursing a three-run lead, Ohio State tied the game up with one swing. Brent Todys hit a home run with two outs to deep left field off Eamon Horwedel to bring the game even.
The tie didn't last long, though.
Revels came in clutch for the Bobcats with his fifth RBI on a two-out single to centerfield.
Brett Manis, the closer for Ohio, came in to finish the game with a one-run lead, he had one responsibility: three outs.
The first two weren't easy, but with two outs and two strikes Manis needed one pitch to end the 29-year drought and finally beat Ohio State.
Connor Pohl hit a ball hard to center field and scored the tying run for the Buckeyes, then the next batter hit a go-ahead double, which brought in two runs. It was the seventh run for Ohio State in the three innings.
Ohio lost its fourth straight game, and Ohio State beat them for the 12th straight time.
The Bobcats will look to get things back on track when they play Toledo in a three-game series that starts on Friday.
It's a good matchup for Ohio since Toledo is just 1-8 in conference games this season. Ohio will need to keep the bats going and limit late comebacks like the one Tuesday.

The chip differs substantially from its predecessors, both from a technological perspective and in how it will be marketed.
Intel will release Banias, a new energy-efficient notebook chip, on March 12, and open a new era in the company's laptop business.
Company executives pinpointed the date of the release during a press presentation by Connexion, a new company from Boeing that will provide in-flight Internet service. Earlier, Intel said only that Banias would come out in March.
Banias, which will be sold under the Pentium-M name, differs substantially from its predecessors, both from a technological perspective and in terms of how it will be marketed. Earlier Intel notebook chips were essentially desktop chips enhanced for notebook use. They consumed less power than their desktop counterparts. Laptops containing them, however, could still only run two to four hours on a battery charge.
Pentium-M, by contrast, was designed specifically to fit into notebooks. Subsections of the chip go into sleep mode when not in use to conserve energy. Some Pentium-M notebooks will go as long as six hours without a battery charge.
The chip will also be heavily marketed with a module for Wi-Fi networking from Intel. The combination of the Pentium-M, a chipset, and the Wi-Fi module, will in fact, be sold under its own brand name: Centrino. To date, Intel has not marketed bundles of chips but only microprocessors themselves.
Until just a few years ago, though, Intel largely sold only microprocessors. But in 1999, the chipmaker began snapping up communications companies. By bundling its Wi-Fi modules with its microprocessors, the company will effectively be able to start to build its own customer base in this market.
Right now, Intel does not sell its own Wi-Fi modules or chips. The market is dominated by Wi-Fi specialists such as Atheros, which sells chips to Toshiba and IBM. Whether Intel can snag these customers away is currently a major debate among semiconductor analysts.
For computer makers, part of the appeal of buying the entire Centrino bundle from Intel will come in the testing Intel has done. The company has extensively tested the Pentium-M with its own Wi-Fi products, said Mooly Eden, general manager of Intel's Israel design center, where the Pentium-M was designed. Thousands of hours were spent ensuring compatibility between the Pentium-M and the Wi-Fi module, and all of the silicon with existing wireless services, he said.
"We have developed (test and verification) chips whose only aim in life was to torture the rest of the system," Eden said.
Pentium-M will become the predominant notebook chip for the company by the end of the year, various Intel execs have said. Pentium 4 chips for notebooks will still come out, but likely appear only in the consumer market, and then in the cheaper models.
The company is expected to spend $300 million to market Centrino.
Three versions of the Pentium-M will come out in March. The standard Pentium-M will run at 1.3GHz to 1.6GHz, while a low-power version will run at 1.1GHz. Meanwhile, a version that consumes even less power will run at 900MHz.
Competitors are also gearing up for new low-power notebook chips, but those will come later in the year. Transmeta's Astro will come out in the second half, while the Athlon 64 from Advanced Micro Devices will appear in September.

Code Quality Research: Functional Languages Beat Procedural/Object-Oriented
By David Ramel
Academic researchers have published a study investigating the effect of programming languages on software quality, concluding the issue is hard to quantify but also identifying significant findings, such as functional languages having an edge over procedural/object-oriented languages.
The research -- "A Large-Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in GitHub" -- was just published in the October edition of Communications of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) by academicians at the University of Virginia and University of California, Davis.
In attempting to gauge how code quality is influenced by the type of programming language used, the researchers analyzed more than 700 GitHub projects containing some 63 million lines of source code. They concluded the question is quite complicated, influenced by many interacting factors, and difficult to empirically evaluate.
Nevertheless, they identified several "significant" effects (at least statistically) that they in turn characterized as "small" or "modest," implying other factors may be more important.
"By triangulating findings from different methods, and controlling for confounding effects such as team size, project size, and project history, we report that language design does have a significant, but modest effect on software quality," the paper states.

Here are some related statements on that issue, culled from the report (noting that the researchers lumped object-oriented languages among procedural languages):
It does appear that disallowing type confusion is modestly better than allowing it.
Among functional languages, static typing is also somewhat better than dynamic typing.
Functional languages are somewhat better than procedural and scripting languages, being associated with fewer defects.
Managed memory usage is better than unmanaged.
The defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with software domains.
Languages are more related to individual bug categories than bugs overall.
Even in the face of these observations, the researchers provided caveats about reaching any definitive conclusions based on the research.

Each cell in the heat map represents defect proneness of a language (row header) for a given domain (column header). The "Overall" column represents defect proneness of a language over all the domains. The cells with white cross mark indicate null value, that is, no commits were made corresponding to that cell. (source: ACM)
"It is worth noting that these modest effects arising from language design are overwhelmingly dominated by the process factors such as project size, team size, and commit size," the paper said. "However, we caution the reader that even these modest effects might quite possibly be due to other, intangible process factors, for example, the preference of certain personality types for functional, static languages that disallow type confusion."
And the paper's conclusion states, in part: "Even large datasets become small and insufficient when they are sliced and diced many ways simultaneously. Consequently, with an increasing number of dependent variables it is difficult to answer questions about a specific variable's effect, especially where variable interactions exist. Hence, we are unable to quantify the specific effects of language type on usage. Additional methods such as surveys could be helpful here. Addressing these challenges remains for future work."

Iran Aims To Finance Petrochemical Boom Through Stock Market
By Simon Watkins - Jul 20, 2020, 11:00 AM CDT
Alongside the continued development of its huge West Karoun oil fields, the completion of the supergiant South Pars non-associated gas offshore sector (including the implementation of Phase 11 operations), and the finalisation of the crude oil transfer pipeline from Guriyeh to Jask, Iran's core focus in the current sanctions environment is to optimise the output and revenues from its already world-scale petrochemicals sector. This has always played a key role in Iran's 'resistance economy' model, the concept of generating value-added returns by leveraging intellectual capital into business development wherever possible. Having now hit a number of key targets, Iran's petchems sector is being encouraged to generate further income and capital for the Islamic Republic through listing key companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).
In basic terms, according to a comment last week from Iran's Deputy Minister of Petroleum for Petrochemical Affairs, Behzad Mohammadi, a total of US$11.5 billion-worth of petchems projects will be launched in Iran in the current Iranian calendar year (ending on 20 March 2021). This will add at least 25 million tons to the country's annual production capacity, bringing it up to at least 90 million tons per year (mtpy), and within a hair's breadth of the 100 mtpy production figure that is targeted to be achieved by the end of 2025. The first of these projects was the Miandoab Petrochemical Project which came on stream last week. At the official launch of Miandoab, Iran's Petroleum Minister, Bijan Zanganeh, highlighted that this second major phase of the country's petchems sector development will consist of 17 new projects in the next 12 months, which will enable a more than doubling of the value of it to Iran, from US$12 billion in 2013 (when the first major phase was pushed) to US$25 billion by the end of next calendar year, and to at least US$37 billion by March 2026.
Inaugurating the geopolitically game-changing Guriyeh-Jask oil pipeline at the same time, Zanganeh added that the Miandoab plant would be one of the major projects along the route of the flagship West Ethylene pipeline, which was approved in 2002. This will stretch 1,660 km from Assaluyeh in southern Iran to Tabriz in the northwest of the country, making it the longest ethylene line in the world. "This year, about two million tons of ethylene will be transferred through the West Ethylene pipeline… [and] Iran's ethylene output will reach seven million tons per year by March 2021," he underlined. Interestingly for future such developments, he added that Miandoab will operate with locally-made catalysts. Related: Can Saudi Arabia Extend The OPEC Deal Until 2022?
This is a first for Iran but entirely in line with its policy to become completely self-sufficient in the petchems sector to insulate itself from current and future sanctions. The process of 'indigenising' the production of key catalysts involved in petchems manufacture and the associated processes and technology was always a pre-requisite in the multitude of contracts signed by Iran with foreign companies after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was first agreed in 2015. This was made very clear just after the agreement was announced when the Deputy Petroleum Minister for International Affairs and Commerce, Amir-Hossein Zamani-Nia, in Tehran, said: "Direct investment is highly favoured by Iran's petroleum ministry but before that, Iran's oil industry is in need of technologies and project management."
Also working in Iran's favour in terms of continuing to build out its petchems sector – aside from the ongoing financial, technology, and personnel support of China and Russia – is that from a legal perspective, Iran's petchems sector has always occupied a grey area as far as sanctions have been concerned. "When the previous set of major sanctions were at their height [2011/12], Iran's petrochemical industry was the subject of U.S. and E.U. sanctions, and the only way for Iran to sell such products 'legally' was to customers outside the U.S. and E.U.," a Washington DC-based senior lawyer with an international litigation and arbitration specialist legal firm, told OilPrice.com. At that time, secondary sanctions were in place in the U.S. on any person worldwide that purchased, acquired, sold, transported, or marketed Iranian-origin petrochemical products, or provided goods or services valued at US$250,000 or more (or US$1 million over a 12-month period) for use in Iran's production of petrochemical products.
In the E.U. there was also a ban on the import, purchase, or transportation of Iran-origin petrochemical products, and on the export to Iran of certain equipment for use in the petrochemical industry. In stark contrast to that sanctions era, though, there are currently no E.U. sanctions specifically on Iran's petchems sector and nor are there plans to impose them. From the U.S. perspective, it cannot currently exert jurisdiction for 'primary' sanctions unless U.S. persons are involved – notably U.S. banks and U.S. employees.
U.S. sanctions alone, though – mainly through the associated prohibitions on the use of U.S. dollars – have caused major financial problems for Iran, beyond what has been widely published so far. According to a senior source who works closely with Iran's Petroleum Ministry, relayed exclusively to OilPrice.com last week, Iran's latest economic and financial data make grim reading indeed. Although Iran is still managing to produce around 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, it is only managing to export around 500,000 bpd of that amount, with the vast majority of it going to China for deeply discounted prices. Against this backdrop, and using a comparison benchmark of November 2019, Iran's GDP growth is minus 22 per cent, unemployment in running at around 37 per cent, inflation is running away at 65 per cent, and there has been – to date over that period – around a 65 per cent depreciation in the value of the rial against a basket of core global currencies. As it stands, Iran is running a budget deficit of 80 per cent, and a trade balance of negative US$6.5 billion. Related: Newcomer Brazil Steals Market Share In Key Asian Oil Market
To address these shortcomings, floating petrochemical companies' shares is considered by Iran to be as good an idea as any currently available to broaden and deepen the country's capital pool. This is unlikely to be as hard a task as many may think as a combination of factors have served to triple the value of the benchmark TSE in the past six months. One of these reasons is that, unsurprisingly, over 60 per cent of the Iranian banking system's non-performing loans (NPLs) are 'category three' by international debt repayment standards. This means that they have yet to be repaid after eight months and have little chance of being recovered, rendering many banks unsafe places to entrust their money to in the view of many Iranians.
Another reason is that there has been a pent-up demand for investable assets from Iranians still resident in the country and from those wealthy Iranians who have left the country at one point or another since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. According to various independent estimates, Dubai alone is home to around half a million Iranians who saw their bank accounts shut down under the sanctions regime and who are looking for better-than-deposit-rate bank account returns, with genuine security of funds attached.
Additionally, a couple of months ago the tacit approval was given by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei for the incremental divestment by the government of state holdings in a range of major enterprises, including those connected to the oil and gas sector, from a total divestment of between 20 per cent to up to 70 per cent, allowing the public (and private institutions and banks) to buy them. Although the tripling in the value of the TSE over the past few months might appear counter-intuitive, given Iran's parlous economic state, it can be seen instead both as a consequence of the extra liquidity being pumped into the system as a product of Iran printing money to deal with the rising budget deficit and of the pervasive view that, as things cannot become much worse, current values represent buying at the bottom of the investment cycle.
"Not only does the petchems sector generate revenues for Iran of around 15 to 16 times more per tonne of product than crude oil but for investors, based on current contract terms, petchems yields rates of return of 30 to 35 per cent against 12 to 15 per cent in the upstream segment, and petrochemical companies have often distributed relatively high dividends among shareholders," the Iran source underlined. The Pars, Nouri and Shahid Tondguyan petrochemical companies were among the first petchems companies to list on the stock market, opening the way for more companies to do so, with at least six of them holding the extra cache of being subsidiaries of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC). According to the latest data, PGPIC has about a 40 per cent share of Iran's petchems market and accounts for the same proportion of Iran's petchems exports.

"Publishing in African Languages: A Review of the Literature", by Hans M. Zell, to read here !
This literature survey is an attempt to bring together some of the literature on an important and challenging, and one could well say neglected aspect of the African book sector, that of publishing in African languages, an area that greatly impacts literary production in many ways. It aims to make a small contribution to the ongoing debate about publishing of indigenous language materials, how the profile of indigenous language publishing might be enhanced – and how publishing in African languages could be conducted as a societally beneficial, sustainable, and profitable commercial activity.
Following an introductory overview of current publishing in African languages – and a discussion of its many barriers to success – it lists a total of 170 records, covering the literature (in English) published since the 1970s and through to early 2018. Fully annotated and/or with abstracts, it includes books, chapters in books and edited collections, reports, journal articles, Internet documents, theses and dissertations, as well as a number of blog postings.
