The Mirror of the Heart of Vajrasattva () is numbered amongst the 'Seventeen Tantras of Menngagde' () within Dzogchen discourse and is part of the textual support for the Vima Nyingtik.

The Continuum of Vajrasattva's Heart-Mirror conveys how the 'lamps' () are the self-display of awareness. It furthermore lists twenty-one pointing-out instructions appropriate for people with different propensities and proclivities along with four key points and practice instructions.

These Seventeen Tantras are to be found in the Canon of the Ancient School, the 'Nyingma Gyubum' (), volumes 9 and 10, folio numbers 143-159 of the edition edited by 'Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche' commonly known as Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (Thimpu, Bhutan, 1973), reproduced from the manuscript preserved at 'Tingkye Gonpa Jang' ()  Monastery in Tibet.

Nomenclature, orthography and etymology
'The Mirror of the Heart of Vajrasattva' ()

Mirror
The Melong is an important polyvalent symbol and potent teaching tool in Dzogchen.

English translations
This tantra has not as yet has been completely rendered into English nor made generally available.

The Seventeen Tantras are quoted extensively throughout Longchenpa's (1308 - 1364?) 'The Precious Treasury of the Way of Abiding' ()  rendered in English by Barron and Padma Translation Committee (1998). This work is one of Longchenpa's Seven Treasuries and the Tibetan text in poor reproduction of the pecha has been graciously made available online by Dowman and Smith.

Barron et al. (1998: p. 136) render an embedded quotation of this tantra within their translation of Lonchenpa's 'Way of Abiding' (Wylie: gnas lugs):
"Understand all aspects of awareness to be free of ordinary consciousness, which involves concepts of identity. Similarly, bring this understanding to the point of understanding that all phenomena are unceasing. Bring the understanding of what is unceasing to the point of understanding that it manifests in any way whatsoever. Bring the understanding of what manifests in any way whatsoever to the point of understanding that it is unborn. Bring the understanding what is unborn to the point of understanding that it does not come and go. Bring the understanding of what does not come and go to the point of understanding that it is nondual.  Bring the understanding of what is nondual to the point of understanding that it is absolutely free of limitations. Similarly, bring this understanding to the point of not conceptualizing or thinking about any phenomenon in any way. Bring this understanding of all phenomena to the point of experiencing their essence lucidly and without distraction."

Live-bearers or toothcarps are some of the easiest aquarium fish to keep. Indeed, they are relatively easy to look after and feel well even in smaller aquariums.
"Livebearers" get their name because unlike most other fish, they don't spawn but rather bring their young to the world when they are fully developed. There are at least 200 members in this family, including swordtails and sailfins, but also guppies, platies and mollies, some of the best known and most popular of all aquarium fish.
Fish enthusiasts find these three fascinating not only for their reproductive behavioural patterns; they are especially popular because they are considered easy "beginners fish". With their pretty shapes and magnificent colours they brighten up large aquariums in the office just as nicely as a small one in the kids' bedroom. They also have an amicable temperament and coexist easily with other fish species. In fact, as they are often kept together they even create mixed groups.
Livebearers prefer to live in groups, with at least five of each type of fish. The livebearers' aquarium needs to hold a minimum of 54 litres – better still 100 litres – depending on the type and quantity of fish. That's not a lot compared to other species, but it gives the fish enough space to move about and still leaves plenty of room for attractive planting, which should be dense in places, as well as underwater decoration.
These top 3 favourites will tolerate a wider range of water parameters than other fish. Guppies, platies and mollies love medium hard water with a neutral pH value between 7 and 8, and temperatures of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. You don't need a lot to create an environment where your fish will feel at home: heating, lighting that can be regulated via a timer switch and a filter that's the right size for the aquarium volume. A lot of complete aquariums already have exactly what these three species need.
When fish feel well, your aquarium population is likely to increase quickly. Those who hope to experience the birth will be disappointed, as these fish are often born under cover of darkness. It's usually only when you come to give them their breakfast that you will notice the tiny, yet fully developed, baby fish. Most of the time, your new fish will stay hidden away as, unfortunately, hungry livebearers are likely to eat their own young. To protect the new fish, it's important that you provide dense vegetation for them to hide in, or else put a spawning box in the tank. Happily, a lot of the young fish will grow up and become a part of the group.
You should keep a maximum of one male per species, particularly with swordtails, to avoid rivalry in the small aquarium and to ensure that the females aren't overwhelmed. It is easy to identify the gender of an adult fish: The males are usually half the size of the females, are much slimmer, have a "mating fin" (gonopodium) on the lower abdomen and are generally more brightly coloured. The females can be identified by their gestation spot.
Ask around in advance to see if anyone is interested in having the new fish. Because if your fish feel truly well, they'll multiply in leaps and bounds. So be sure to find other fish enthusiasts in good time who are willing to take your surplus fish off your hands. You don't want your aquarium to get too full!

Centretown Community Health Centre (CCHC) and 8-80 Cities' revitalization of Somerset Street's Dundonald Park kicks off this Saturday with Spring into Fun.
The day of casual events will include art by Moods Expressed, a group of artists with mental health issues; blood pressure readings, courtesy of CCHC; and book walk, where a book's pages are scattered throughout the park.
Additionally, the gardening club, Friends of Dundonald will meet at 1:30pm.
"Much like last year, community members and groups are planning activities throughout the spring and summer. We're just kicking off, so we expect more activities planned in June and July," CCHC communications officer Émilie Sartoretto says.
Although CCHC played an integral role in the park's transformation, now that their joint report with 8-80 Cities is released, various organizations will take the lead on future projects at the park, Sartoretto says.
Read CCHC and 8-80 Cities' report on Dundonald Park.

Mali - News
10th Bamako Encounters, African Biennale of Photography
The 10th Bamako Encounters, African Biennale of Photography, will take place from 31 October to 31 December 2015. The Bamako Encounters provide an important platform for photographers in Africa and the diaspora, displaying their work to an international public. After a four-year break, due to events in Mali, the Bamako Encounters are back with a powerful programme curated by the outstanding Artistic Director Bisi Silva, supported by her Associate Exhibition Curators Antawan I. Byrd and Yves Chatap. The theme chosen for this edition is Telling Time: participating artists are invited to reflect on the notion of time as a means of rethinking the past, discussing the present, and imagining the future. Conventional interpretations of time are reframed using photography, film, video and animation. As a result, perspective on time are fragmented and plural, offering new points of view and original experiences.
"The concept of time in Africa has been the subject of popular and philosophical debates concerning political and technological belatedness, questions of colonial temporalities characterised by their links with the rise of capitalism, as well as the interventions made by liberation movements in radically deconstructing colonial time through projects of freedom, independence, and the development of civic identity. Yet the selected artists position these debates and histories as incomplete and ongoing, intervening through topical investigations on recent sociopolitical conflict (…) and through thematic studies of built environments (…)", says the introductory statement of the curators.
In addition to the central international exhibition Telling Time, which features the work of 26 photographers and 13 video artists from across Africa and the Diaspora, including special homage presentations of Malian artist Bakary Diallo and South African artist Thabiso Sekgala, the biennale offers an ambitious programme of monographic and thematic exhibitions.
Through monographic exhibitions, the biennale presents a filmic work by South African artist William Kentridge that mediates on time and transmission of knowledge; works by Syrian/Armenian artist Hrair Sarkissian, whose videos and photography explore experiences of displacement, history and memory; and a survey of work by the Nigerian photographer J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, which chronicles the visual representation of post-colonial subjectivity and nationalism in Nigeria. The "Lusophone Focus" series is anchored by a monographic exhibition of Brazilian artist Ayrson Heráclito, whose powerful performances, video, and photography work offers incisive investigations of the African presence in Brazil. This programme includes the film exhibition Ilha de São Jorge, curated by Beyond Entropy Africa, and a participatory art project by Lanchonete.org (consisting of creatives Todd Lanier Lester, Thiago Correia Gonçalves, and Jaime Lauriano) that uses food and photography to question the intertwined cultural histories of Brazil and West Africa.
The biennale's thematic exhibitions Tu M'aimes, Against Time: The Tierney Fellowship Project, To The Future and Back and 1384 Days Wide similarly emphasize questions of temporality and storytelling through explorations of the body, democracy, and politics across geographic and social contexts.
The problem of local engagement challenges the staging and sustainability of biennales across the world, and offers an important context for the curators' response to the cultural setbacks Mali has experienced following threats to the country's political sovereignty since 2012. Through its "Mali Focus" programme, the curatorial team critically examines the biennale's 20-year history through a presentation of archival documents and objects in the exhibition [Re]generations, while the "Mali Jaw" project consists of 10 mini-exhibitions across Bamako that present the archives of photography studios within their immediate communities. The exhibition En Connexion… by Malian curator Chab Touré assesses local developments in contemporary photography by introducing a new generation of Malian photographers, while an ambitious pedagogy programme aims to engage up to 100 schools across Bamako.
An important objective of the biennale is to provide a platform for countries with an emerging photographic practice. This is done through presentation of workshops that have taken places during the inter-biennale period. This year we present new works from emerging photographic platforms in Algeria through an exhibition organised by Bruno Boudjelal, and the work of young Nigeriens inspired by the photographs of Niamey nightlife of the 1970s by Philippe Koudjina Ayi. Koudjina's work will be presented alongside the work contemporary Nigerien photographers in an exhibition curated by Philippe Guionie.
The Bamako Encounters are organized by Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Crafts in Mali in collaboration with the Institut français.

English Matters
Let's Commit Curiosity
By infoaccute on September 24, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )
Thank you to Jason Haslam, Chair of the Department of English at Dalhousie University (and ACCUTE past president) for responding so eloquently and forcefully to Margaret Wente's recent column about Dalhousie and English literature studies in Canada more broadly. Curiosity matters and ACCUTE supports our colleagues at Dalhousie and across the country in cultivating that curiosity. — Jennifer Andrews, President of ACCUTE
JASON HASLAM — SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2018
First, as Chair of English at Dalhousie, I'd like to thank everyone who has written in support of us after Margaret Wente's column appeared in the Globe and Mail. Do of course read it if interested, but I implore everyone not to feed G&M revenue by clicking on this execrable piece too often. Her "opinions" seem designed to do one thing: polarize people into warring camps, and through that anger generate eyeballs on G&M's advertisers. And she often succeeds, and so does it again, and again, and again. For that simple reason, at first I didn't want to respond to her column, because I believed it would just mean fitting ourselves into a pre-arranged role in a tired dog-and-pony show.
But, colleagues and students made me realize I was wrong about not replying, because we need to stand with our students in offering a vigorous response, especially given the easily heard racist dog whistles of her column. I and several of my colleagues have written letters to the editor as part of this effort. Please add your own if so inclined.
But, second, on a personal note—if I can take off my Chair hat (it chafes sometimes; I'm delicate)—as an individual scholar I also want to say this: our department and university absolutely value diversity, but I'd be thrilled if we were able to do a much better job at it, continuing always to expand the diversity of our programs at every level and in every way. We don't need to defend ourselves against Wente's spurious claims; we need to double down on what we do. Nothing would make me personally happier than to have a program that makes Margaret Wente shudderingly, inconsolably uncomfortable, simply because that would mean it more fully and accurately reflects the growing and ever diversifying field of English Studies as new and previously silenced authors, texts, approaches, and contexts, past and present, make themselves heard.
Let's walk past the braying calls for a bounded and bordered ignorance and into an open space resounding with an ever more complex cacophony of voices. Let's commit curiosity.

With deepest sorrow we announce that our most beloved son, brother, family member and friend, Russell Wheeler Simms, aged 35, passed away suddenly of complications from Adrenal Hyperplasia at the Health Sciences Centre on March 20th, 2019. Predeceased by grandparents Thomas Wheeler and Elizabeth Simms. Leaving to mourn mother Cindy Tedstone and Stepfather Neil Tedstone, Father David Simms and his spouse Colette Samson, sister Cara Tedstone, grandmother Dorothy Wheeler, Grandfather Reginald Simms, many aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. His sister Cara summed up his shining personality with a few words Russell was an impossible character to describe. If you knew him really well, you were lucky. He taught you how to find euphoria at the bottom of a new-flavour bag of Mike and Ikes. He taught you to be gentle and loving to creatures. He taught you to take impeccable care of your things, because he understood that we don't need much, or many, to make us happy, and that good things should always last. He taught you how to actually relax, and showed you what it's like to really, truly appreciate a sunny day and a good song. Russell taught you to make your own happiness - he knew life wasn't about sitting around, waiting for it to come to you. He showed you what it felt like to be loved, hard. If you knew Russell, you always took his easy breezy attitude, affable charm, and ridiculous, quirky humour with you when you said, "later, man". Then, his way of thinking about life probably slipped from you a little, until it all made sense when you saw him again. If you knew the Russell I knew, he uplifted your life in some way. If you were lucky enough to be let in by him, too, you should also know that the time you spent with him was more precious to him than anything else you could have given. His gift to us in return for our company was 35 years of light in the darkness. We may have lost our Russell light, but we know if he could, he'd tell us to go out and find light somewhere, again, or bring light to someone else's life by making a donation to a charity of one's choice in Russell's memory. An invitation to a celebration of Russell's life is extended to all his family, friends and anyone who would like to join us. Please feel free to come to our family home on Sunday, March 24th from 2-5 pm. We are located at 3 Motion View Close (off Motion Drive), Torbay, NL.

Tegan Nox

Welsh Valleys
Shining Wizard
Tegan Nox: Bio
Tegan Nox is determined to make her star shine brighter than ever in NXT. It looks as though nothing can stop her, as The Girl with the Shiniest Wizard has worked too hard to get here.
Originally slated to compete in the inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017, Nox was forced out of the tournament with a torn right ACL. After 10 months on the shelf, the Welsh Superstar made it back in time for the 2018 edition of the 32-woman tournament, where she was considered a favorite to win the whole thing. Nox made it to the quarterfinals, where catastrophe reared its ugly head. A dive to the arena floor resulted in a devastating injury to Nox's left leg – torn menisci MCL, LCL and ACL.
That injury took Tegan out of action for close to a year. After returning to the ring for NXT UK in her home country of Wales, Nox has her sights set on NXT and becoming the NXT Women's Champion. If her determination is anything to go by, Tegan Nox may prove to be faster, stronger and shinier than anyone.

Live from New York, It's #CUGH2018!
Brian W. Simpson,
Dayna Kerecman Myers,
The center of the global health universe shifted to New York the weekend of March 15-18 for the Consortium of Universities for Global Health.
Naturally, Global Health NOW was there.
Following are some of the essential or at least super-interesting news stories from the day.
To put things in perspective, we begin with this Q&A with Keith Martin, MD, PC, CUGH's executive director, who maps out the latest global health challenges in an exclusive Q&A with GHN.
#CUGH2018 Warm-Up with Keith Martin (Friday, March 15)
The Winners of the 2018 Untold Global Heath Story Contest, Revealed!
CUGH, NPR's Goats and Soda Blog, and Global Health NOW of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Global Health selected two winning entries from over 150 thought-provoking entries. It's the fourth year of our annual competition, which seeks to identify and give a platform to neglected, underreported issues in global health.
For 2018, NPR's Goats and Soda blog will report on the recruitment of children in Colombia for cocaine production, proposed by Athena Madan, and Global Health will highlight hemophilia in developing countries, Chris Bombardier's idea.
Read more about their ideas and this year's contest here.
Reproductive Justice Centers on Respect
"No providers come into this work for purpose of abusing women."
That statement, from Lynn Freedman at a #CUGH20-18 panel on reducing disparities in maternal health care, resonated deeply with the audience, which included people around the world engaged in improving birth experiences and outcomes for women. Because even though providers go into the field with the best of intentions, too many women leave the hospital after giving birth and say, "They don't respect us."
It's an issue that has always simmered below the surface, but gained more attention following the Center for Reproductive Rights Failure to Deliver report, which exposed disrespect and abuse in a Nairobi hospital, explained Freedman, a professor at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health. But, the problem extends beyond Kenya. And, in the US, many of the women suffering the most disrespect and abuse at the hands of providers are women of color.—Dayna Kerecman Myers
Avoiding the Terrible in North-South Partnerships
He's seen the good, the bad and the terrible in north-south collaborations.
Peter Donkor, president of AFREHealth and a surgery professor at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, drew on his experiences to offer some lessons learned during a Saturday afternoon session at #CUGH2018.
A couple of the bad and the terribles:
A KNUST-Canadian university partnership to train Ghanaian PhDs in Canada failed when 4 students admitted to the program never returned to Ghana after leaving.
A Northern researcher damaged relations when the researcher published results without referencing a KNUST pharmacology professor who had been a key collaborator.
However, Donkor assured the audience that there have been many successful partnerships, including the Medical Education Partnership Initiative and Health-Professional Education Partnership Initiative (HEPI).
"Let's build on achievement of these collaborations… . And, let's look after each other," Donkor said. "When a good seed is sowed, it grows and it grows."—BWS
Fogarty Survives to 50
Last year, Roger Glass, director of the Fogarty International Center, wasn't sure his organization would survive to see its 50th anniversary this year.
With its $70 million budget targeted by the Trump administration's proposed 2018 budget, the Fogarty Center faced elimination.
Then something interested happened.
"The hue and cry was tremendous in support of the center," said Glass during a Saturday morning session at #CUGH2018. "We wouldn't be here today without such enthusiasm and support from the global health community."
The "hue and cry" reached led to articles in The New York Times, STAT, USA Today and other publications. With some additional support from Congress, Fogarty has expanded its research to chronic disease, global health security and other areas, Glass said, noting that Fogarty has sponsored more than 1,000 fellows and scholars over the years.
"10 years ago, our communications director said we were the best kept secret in [global health], we are no longer," Glass said. "And we are alive and well today."—BWS
The Great Equity Debate
There are 2 key maxims for survival: Never invade Russia in wintertime. And, never debate Richard Horton.
Cheryl Healton, dean of NYU's College of Global Public Health, presumably respects the former but avidly disregarded the latter as she engaged the Lancet's editor-in-chief in a vigorous debate about equity in a Saturday morning #CUGH2018 plenary.
She was tasked with supporting this statement: "Equity is the defining objective of global health in the 21st century." Horton with rejecting it.
Healton opened by vigorously arguing for equity because it is a key social determinant of human health and a stabilizing force in societies that make it possible for people to pursue the futures they want.
Horton responded: "In this wounded world of ours ... [the] goal, the defining objective of global health is not equity. It is to remove the chains that enslave humanity. Liberty is the acid that will dissolve those chains." —BWS
Who won? Read the full story here.
Leading to Equity
Years ago, when Nancy Glass tried to submit an article on strangulation and domestic violence to the Journal of Emergency Medicine, she got a firm no-unless she listed a physician as the author, that is. Senior author.
Glass, now the professor and associate director of Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, reluctantly agreed-although the doctor listed didn't really do anything. The paper was accepted, but that is something she refuses to do anymore.
Miriam Mutebi, Kenya's only female breast surgeon, has some stories too. Imagine running through all the details of your patient's treatment, only to have the patient turn to a male colleague and ask, "So what's the plan, doctor?" Mutebi has also heard of female medical students being asked to sign statements that they wouldn't get pregnant as a condition of acceptance into residency programs.
Clearly, when asked to share examples of women's barriers to career growth, the panelists had horror stories galore. And while the "burden of care is on women, explained Michele Barry, senior associate dean, Global Health, at Stanford University "they're not at the table." But the real goal of the session was to set out tangible steps to increase women's leadership in global health. Read more about the ideas shared here.
Barry also emphasized that we need men at the table; men shouldn't shy away from events like this thinking they aren't welcome. She encouraged women planning to attend the next Women Leaders in Global Health conference (planned for London in November) to bring a male friend.
—Dayna Kerecman Myers
The Most Underappreciated Public Health Threat
The authors of last fall's Lancet Commission on pollution and health report have 2 shorthand ways to demonstrate pollution's impact:
Pollution kills an estimated 9 million people each year.
Pollution kills 3X more people than AIDS, TB and malaria, combined.
The quick gauge on pollution's impact, they found, is necessary because people often don't connect the impact of pollution on human health. They don't understand pollution's role in noncommunicable disease deaths, said Philip J. Landrigan, author dean for Global Health at the Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, during a Friday afternoon session at #CUGH2018.
Landigran, who was joined by Pure Earth's Richard Fuller and others in preparing the October 2017 Lancet report, notes that "pollution is not fair." It falls mostly on the poor, minorities, children and others who can't afford to avoid it: 92% of pollution deaths are in low- and middle-income countries.
Other facts highlighted by Landrigan:
Household air pollution kills 3 million people per year.
Ambient air pollution kills about 4 million people per year.
Polluted water and sanitation kills about 1.7 million people per year.
Lead kills more than 500,000 per year.

3 Things Africa Needs to Do to Help Its Seniors
At age 60, Germans can expect to live almost a decade longer than Nigerians.
What can be done to help Nigeria and other African countries help their seniors? Isabella Aboderin, a senior research scientist with the African Population and Health Research Institute, offered 3 suggestions during a Friday afternoon session at #CUGH2018.
First, Africa's health systems need to increase their geriatric knowledge. A majority of countries in sub-Saharan Africa have no geriatricians at all, Aboderin said. Only 2 countries (South Africa and Botswana) have more than 5 geriatricians.
Second, the health of older adults need to be connected to Africa's core population and economic development agendas. Currently, for example, the health of older adults is completely omitted in the African Union's Africa Health Strategy, she said.
Finally, the debate on universal health coverage needs to recognize that essential health packages must embrace a lifecourse approach.—BWS
Get Ready for the Gray Wave
A century of public health success is creating the challenge of the 21st century.
Consider: By 2050, more than 40% of the world population will be over the age of 60.
"That is a triumph. It's what we wanted to do, [but] no country is fully prepared" for the consequences, said Linda Fried, a geriatrician and dean of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, as she set the stage for a Friday afternoon #CUGH2018 session on disparities in healthy aging.
Many developing countries, Fried said, are going to age to same degree in 40 years that Western countries and Japan took 100 years to accomplish.
And the global numbers are staggering. In 2030, there will be 1.4 billion adults 60 and over. By 2050, that number will be 2.1 billion, Fried said.
It's time, she said, to design the 21st century to be a world that supports longer lives. "The creation of healthy aging is within our collective reach," Fried said. —BWS
"The World Is Actually Worth Saving"
Stephen Lewis opens #CUGH2018 (Image: Brian W. Simpson)
Stephen Lewis brought eloquence, indignation and a dash of humor to his opening keynote as he stoked motivational fires for #CUGH2018 attendees on Friday morning.
"If Dickens were still alive, he would say, "It was the worst of times. It was the worst of times," Lewis said, drawing rueful laughs from more than 2,000 attendees.
He then led the audience through a litany of global health threats and disasters: from the nearly 6 million under-5 children who die annually to TB, climate change, and manmade disasters in Syria, Myanmar and Yemen.
He implored global health academics and professionals to take action. "It is necessary to take a stand, let impatience by your byword," he said. "You must shed your inhibitions and speak truth to fossilized establishment."
The 80-year-old global health legend closed with a simple plea, "The world is actually worth saving." —BWS
Protestors Fowl Up Health Commissioner's Speech
Mary Bassett, New York City health commissioner, was speaking at a health disparities session on Friday morning at #CUGH2018 when a dozen protesters entered the hall and shouted her down. Bassett had just begun her talk about the city's diversity (40% of New Yorkers were born in another country) and disparities when the animal rights protesters began chanting "Chicken blood is everywhere / Mary Bassett doesn't care."
The group was apparently protesting an Orthodox Jewish ritual called Kaporos that transfers sins to the birds before they are killed. The ritual claims 50,000 chicken lives each year in the city, the New York Daily News reports.— Brian W. Simpson
Sobering, Stunning Films Frame #CUGH2018
Moving the Pulitzer-CUGH film festival to the first night of the conference helped set the tone for the work ahead—with powerful visual storytelling. Talented filmmakers shared their efforts on topics ranging from attacks on health workers in Syria, to the tragic toll of untreated snakebites, to the disproportionate toll of lead pollution on children.
CUGH and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting choose and highlight films that amplify global health problems that might be well-documented in academic circles, but need and deserve a bigger platform.
You didn't have to be there last night to see and share these stories that deserve the widest possible audience. Here's a sampling:
The New Barbarianism -- Directed by Stephen Morrison & Justin Kenny
Minutes to Die - Snakebite: The World's Ignored Health Crisis - Directed by James ReidPollution: A Global
Health Crisis - By filmmakers Catherine Orr and Elena Rue - Storymine Media
Venezuelans Suffer Deadly Scarcity of Food and Medicine - By Special Correspondent Nadja Drost and videographer Bruno Federico
Domestic Abuse in Russia - By Special Correspondent Nick Schifrin and videographer Zach Fannin
Schifrin and Fannin's standout film, inspired by a tattoo artist in Russia helping women abused cover their scars with art, brings home why domestic violence is so entrenched in the country. It's a carryover from WWII, women told him: After Russia lost so many men to the war, it was drilled into women that they should be grateful they have a man, even if his "hands get loose" sometimes. Other people told him they don't want western values against domestic violence shoved down their throats. At a time the government is easing the laws, making domestic abuse an administrative, rather than criminal offense, some women are starting to speak out—and Schifrin and Fannin captured their bravery in this film.—Dayna Kerecman Myers

f you run a small or medium business, you might feel that your options for obtaining funding and financing are limited. Fortunately, that is not at all the case. There are plenty of ways to obtain the money you need, regardless of the size of your business or the type of loan you need. Many of these options are based on things like your actual revenue and time in business instead of your credit score, too. Here are some of your options for SMB loans.
If you have good to excellent credit, traditional bank loans are a great solution for finding the SMB loans you need. These institutions are able to offer you flexible terms and low interest rates on many of their products, whether you choose a short-term loan, a long-term loan, or even a revolving line of credit. If you have average (not poor) credit, you may be able to secure your loan with collateral. In fact, many small and medium business owners use the equity in their homes or business properties as collateral for their loans. This can be quite risky; if your business is not successful, you may lose your home to foreclosure.
If you have average to bad credit, there are still options. Private lenders look at much more than your credit score; they also consider the overall success of your business, your business plan, and your well-being. If you have been in business for a while and if you generate enough revenue, you could qualify for term loans based solely on your time in business and your monthly sales. The interest rates associated with these types of loans are higher than a loan you might obtain from a bank, but they are quite competitive when placed up against many of the common business credit cards that people with even good credit obtain.
Finally, if traditional short-term or long-term loans are not right for your needs, there are other options. Merchant advances and working capital are based solely on your business's revenue and time in business, and they allow you to obtain the funding you need for upgrading your equipment, expanding to a new location, or even purchasing more inventory to improve on your sales. All you need is three months in business and at least $7,000 a month in credit card sales, and your business must be retail – not home or e-commerce based. You can get your money in just a few days' time as opposed to the weeks it might take with traditional banks or even some private lenders.
SMB loans can be quite easy to obtain regardless of your credit score. Although it is true that those who have excellent credit tend to get the best interest rates, you can still get a low-cost, affordable loan for your business – all without a credit check. It truly is that simple to expand and grow, so don't let your credit score stand between you and living your dreams.


Does a vagrant-fighting "bum bot" give robots a bad name?
An engineer builds a water cannon-toting machine to keep loiterers away from his bar.
Terrill Rufus poses with his vagrant-fighting Bum Bot.
Rufus Terrill, a 57-year-old ex-Marine bar owner and engineer in Atlanta, says that vagrants are destroying his neighborhood. "They're out here to get money for drugs, to get money from breaking into cars," Terrill recently told the Associated Press. "These are bad guys."
Terrill says he's tried many ways to keep such bad guys off the streets. First he patrolled the area on foot with an assault rifle in hand -- that didn't fly with police. Next he started shooing people away with a spotlight, but some rascally locals flashed their own guns in response.
Then Terrill's wife suggested a novel idea: Why not build a robot to fight loiterers? After all, robots now defuse bombs, clean carpets, and take care of senior citizens. Surely a bot could help keep drug users away.
Enter the Bum Bot. That's what Terrill calls the vagrant-fighting robot he built last fall -- a man-high structure of steel and plywood covered in black rubber gym mats, the thing looks like a special effect-shop reject, but it's also scary as all get-out.
The Bum Bot, which is powered by four car batteries and trucks about on a three-wheel scooter, is outfitted with a spotlight to frighten people away, an infrared camera that beams back live video images, a loudspeaker through which Terrill can address alleged ne'er-do-wells, and a turret-mounted water cannon that can attack at a moment's notice.
Using a remote control, Terrill commands the bot to roam nearby streets -- when he sees people he thinks ain't welcome 'round these parts, he warns them away with the loudspeaker, and if they're obstinate, he may unleash other weapons in the bot's arsenal.
Homeless advocates are up in arms, justifiably; neither Terrill nor his vigilante bot have any legal jurisdiction over his streets, and surely we don't want to live in a world in which engineers are free to build their own bot-weapons to unleash upon the citizenry.
Some suspect ulterior motives, too -- Terrill intends to run for mayor, and the bot, many say, is a way to drum up publicity for the campaign. Terrill doesn't exactly deny this either: "He'll be my chief of staff. He'll be parked in front of my office," Terrill says of the Bum Bot.
But buried in this municipal fracas is an interesting tech story: Is the Bum Bot giving robots a bad name?
Henrik Christensen, director of Georgia Tech's Robotics and Intelligent Machines Center, tells the AP that he worries about precisely this outcome: "We have a Hollywood picture that [robots are] going to run amok, kill people and do bad things. This Bum Bot plays on that stereotype ... For the rest of us who want to use technology to assist people in their daily lives, it's an obstacle."
Christensen has a legitimate worry. In movies and on TV, robots don't get much love. Sure, you sometimes see lovable bots or androids (there's "Star Trek"'s Data, or that bot from "Short Circuit"), but the media image of robots has long been negative: In the "Terminator" movies, robots come from the future to kill us. In "RoboCop," the bot is nominally good, but he sure isn't cuddly.
The Bum Bot works in that tradition. It scares people because it appears big and strong and inhuman. So, sure, it's not doing robots any favors.
But I'd argue that Christensen is missing a recent uptick in robot appreciation. For instance, search for "Roomba" on any video-sharing site and you'll witness vivid, cloying demonstrations of human-robot love.
And notice the reaction to last year's General Motors Super Bowl commercial featuring an assembly-line robot jumping off a bridge (after it was fired from a GM plant for dropping a screw) -- suicide prevention groups feared that the robot's suicide attempt would prompt people to kill themselves, and GM decided to edit the ad.
Isn't that remarkable? We now think so highly of robots that we consider them possible models for human behavior -- surely that indicates that we've moved beyond thinking of bots as mindless killing machines, no?
The robotics professor, I think, underestimates the capacity of good robots to overcome the sins of evil ones. Sure, we'll see robots doing unseemly things now and then, just like we see humans slip all the time.
But when you witness the Bum Bot kicking a poor fellow off the street, you're not soured on robots in general. You know the robot's just doing what he was programmed to do -- and that other bots, better bots, will be there for us when we need them.

Ministers tour Summer Sports programme with eye on future
The Minister for Sport, Steven Linares, accompanied by Michelle Turner who runs the GSLA Summer Sports programme, last week showed Minister for Health Neil Costa around the different facilities on offer this summer for children.
With the Stay and Play programme integrating with the normal training programme the Ministers were able to see at first hand how the sports programme was allowing for integration of all children of different abilities to participate together.
The inclusion policies followed by the sports programme saw children with special needs and differing care needs integrate in different games with other children. At the same time the Stay and Play facilities offered more specialised care needs providing a wide range of opportunities for all children to participate.
This was the first time that Minister for Health Neil Costa had to see at first hand how the recent decision to assist the sports programme with carers from the Care Agency was now working.
Accompanied by the Care Agency Chief Executive, the minister had a chance to speak to organisers, volunteers and children alike as he was shown around the programme.
Among those he met was a young lady who was introduced as "Joelle", leader of the Stay and Play programme. The ministers were surprised to hear that the young lady was working all hours of the day to the point that she had even sent out emails at "3am" to GSLA officials. Something which did not go without significant praise from the Ministers.
Mr Costa admitted later that "working sixteen hours in his office at times he did not have much of an opportunity to see at first hand how such programmes worked."
"I am actually really, really, really impressed with everything that I'm seeing," he commented as he completed his tour.
The visit had allowed both ministers, and officials accompanying them to discuss various ideas to improve the co-operation and services which could be offered in the future.
At one stage the discussions even included on ideas on how to extend the physical facilities as well as how to extend the programme beyond the summer sports programme.
Speaking after the visit Minister for Sports Steven Linares expressed his satisfaction at how the visit and chance to speak to his fellow ministerial colleague whilst at the actual sports programme. "It's brilliant because of the success of this programme. It's so successful, we didn't physically have enough people to look after the stay and play children. It wasn't a question of funds or anything like that. It was a question of where do we get the people from and so we quickly thought well the Care Agency deals with some of the these children and they can help out by sending some of their carers to come in and help us out. And that is exactly what's happened. And when I told the Minister Costa about it he quickly switched on and look at how we are doing now."
"We are talking ideas of the future. Every time I come here they ask for more things. It's all to do with funding and how we can manage it. But look if we have at heart that we want to help and we want to do it we always get there."
"The idea of the GSLA and Care Agency to join forces and to push through the idea of integration and play and making the possibility, the idea of people of any disability to be able to participate in the way that anyone else can participate, and breaking down those barriers as we have seen today, is really one of the reasons why you want to be in public office and join public life, because it really makes you happy to actually see how policies that you make in your office, with your officials, you actually see it really makes a difference," Mr Costa said.
"I think that one of the good things that the GSLA and Care Agency have done is to work more closely. I think the best example so far has been the child protection committee where it was restructured and you have the Care Agency Chief Executive as the Chair of that Committee and you have got the GSLA."
"They have been excellent at safeguarding children and safeguarding vulnerable people and of course, in sports, its extremely important to have safeguarding structures so that we can know our children are enjoying all these sports and other facilities."
"Without worry and that they are not going to be subjected to any harm or any danger. So that was the very first thing that we did because it really needed to be done properly together and this is just wonderful."
"I was talking today with one of the carers who spends at least six or seven weeks every year in India and he takes care of young children with disabilities who live literally on the streets. There is no structured care, they do not have care for people who live with disability in the way that we do. I am always very moved when he comes back and tells me about his testimony and what he sees."
"Obviously what we have here is something to be really, really happy about. The more that we work together, the more that we realise there is even more things that we can do."
"Today for example, we spoke about a three day gap from when the stay and play ends until school starts and we thought that it was important that in those few days the children who live with disabilities have a place where they can come to before school starts. It's important for the parents to have some time to rest and work. So really I am really impressed from what I have seen today."

Versatile, robust, well thought out and amazing.
I cannot day enough about this product. It backs up to the cloud. Amazing. It integrates with other apps. It stored multimedia. It does not overburden me or get in my way when writing. It has enough organization to handle a scatterbrained mind, and it is not so expensive that I cannot afford it. In short it is the ideal method for getting ideas out of my head and onto a communicate-able medium.
Fantastic app that I use multiple times a day.
I cannot say enough good about the Day One Journal. It captures everything important in my daily life. No other app I've tried comes even close to this one. LOVE IT!
When I became sick in August of 2017, I needed to keep a small journal of medical things, how I felt, what I ate, etc. I looked for an app and didn't find one I liked, so I used a little journal and wrote it. But I would forget where I put it. Or forgot it at home when I needed to write something in it. I recently found this app and I'm soooo glad I did. It is exactly what I was looking for! I had my grandkids over the other day and I was able to put their pictures in this journal as I was writing about them... can't do that in a paper journal. I keep my medical concerns, questions, etc in here, as well as personal day to day things. It works great for me and what I need... simple, easy to use and always convenient! Thank you for a great app!!! Update: I've been using this app for over a year now and I still love it! I primarily use it as my medical journal and I have even shared this app with other patients. I love that it tracks locations and even weather. Sometime weather plays a part in my medical issues. This is one of my favorite apps!
I have been journaling pretty much every day since I downloaded Day One in 2013. I write not only my thoughts and feelings, but also what I do and where I go everyday. It's therapeutic and very practical. For example, if I want to recommend a restaurant, all I have to do is search on Day One because the name (that I would have otherwise forgotten) will be written there. That is why I call Day One the google of my life.
I love the layout, on both my laptop and iPhone. It's beautiful. I've written all my favorite stuff I've ever written in here. But the subscription and it's unreasonable cost is very off putting. It seems very opportunistic, and I don't mean that in a friendly way. Just to access my own writing on another device, I've got to pay someone money.
Live this app! I've been keeping a journal since I was 13 years old (21 years) and I've gone though right journals. I love them all, but my brain goes a million miles a minute - to be able to use voice dictation to get out all my thoughts AND have pictures, location - even weather?! It's very cool!
Active development and constantly improving. Customer service can be hit or miss.
I love the ability to journal anytime without pen and paper. I have not yet bought the paid subscription but I hope to eventually. I think that version gives you access to all the tools available for the contemporary journaler, meaning text, video, photos and sound can be engaged.
Intuitive and simple to use. Overall, a great app.
Seamless way to write down what you're thinking, will you take a picture and add it to what you have written. You can dictate what has gone on in your day and it translated in writing for you. You can create several journals of your desire for several different activities or thoughts that you have going. Is it absolutely fabulous and I highly recommend it.

Police were called to a 99p shop in Wrexham when crowds caused a "stampede" after it began selling its stock half price.
Eager shoppers descended on the outlet in north Wales after the store displayed posters advertising a sale in which all items would be reduced to 50p.
The sale saw people reportedly queuing onto the street in order to grab an even bigger bargain at the 99p shop.
Within hours, most of the shelves were completely stripped of the goods due to the demand, with witnesses saying people acted like "vultures" once inside.
Police were called to the shop after shoppers became angry when the management brought the prices back up to 99p while they were still in the queue. Customers reportedly refused to move from the shop.
One shopper, Sharon Roberts, told News North Wales: "I was in there for nearly two hours queuing to get to the till. Then the manager took the posters down from the window.
"People were absolutely furious and that's why the police were called. Tempers were flaring and people were shouting. The shop finally said people could have items on a buy-one-get-one-free."
Another, Phil Smith, added: "They dropped all the prices to 50p until 28 January, and there were queues of about 40 to 50 people all day. Then the manager came around saying everything is back up to 99p.
"I am so angry, you can't do that, not when people are in the queue to pay. The police had to come because the people were not having it and not leaving."
Four police officers were called to control the crowds inside, with one staying outside to direct people away from the busy store.
North Wales police said: "We were told there was a sale on and that the shop was very busy. The shop had to be closed down temporarily. There were no arrests made."

West Central Initiative and the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN) invite area adults to participate in the Walk! Bike! Fun! Ambassador's Program Training on February 1, 2019 at the Fergus Falls YMCA, 1164 Friberg Ave., Fergus Falls. The lessons and activities in this half-day training will equip volunteers to plan and organize engaging and fun events for youth so that there is an increase in safe walking and biking in their community.
This free training is from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and includes lunch. Register at bit.ly/WBFAmb-Fergus.
The goal of the training, which BikeMN created in partnership with Minnesota Safe Routes to School and Minnesota Department of Transportation, is to continue to grow the local momentum for biking and walking education. With activities from this program, local volunteers will have what they need to help educate students about traffic rules and regulations, potential traveling hazards, and skills needed to walk and bike safely through their community.
West Central Initiative's Planning Director Wayne Hurley sees this training as a great opportunity for communities and school districts to implement some of the easily doable ideas in their Safe Routes to School plans. "These activities, such as organizing a walking school bus or bike train to get students safely to and from school, setting up pedestrian/bike rodeos, providing youth bike education presentations and more, are growing in popularity and now the region will have volunteers on hand to support the demand for these initiatives and to build capacity around what's already in place through local schools and organizations," he said. (You can see the region's Safe Routes to Schools plans here).
Studies show that children who walk and bicycle to school are more physically active, have improved mental health and lower odds of being overweight or obese than students who are driven or bused to school. Additionally, strong evidence connects physical activity to improvements in attendance rates, classroom behavior and student academic performance – including grades and standardized test scores.
"It's awesome to see volunteers so excited about growing the biking and walking movement in their town. These folks will now have the chance to provide kids with critical safety skills that they'll use for a lifetime and will help them to become healthier individuals!" said Michelle Kiefer, Safe Routes to School Program Manager with BikeMN.
The Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN) is working to make Minnesota a place where bicycling is easy, safe, and fun for everyone. The mission of BikeMN is to unite and strengthen bicycle advocacy, provide education, and work for a more bicycle friendly Minnesota. Visit www.bikemn.org for more.

Wedgewood stoves were used widely in the 1930s and 1940s, although now they are considered vintage or antique stoves. They run on gas and have a standing pilot light, like many older gas stoves. Wedgewood stoves have a thermocouple next to the pilot that senses when the stove is turned on, allowing the pilot light to ignite the gas. There's also an extra safety valve on the stove with a red button that allows you to reset the gas if the stove doesn't light.
Locate the safety valve on your Wedgewood stove. In most cases the valve will be in the upper right-hand or lower right-hand portion of the stove's oven.
Press the safety valve's button and hold it for three to five seconds.
Release the button. Turn on the stove and see if the burners light. If so, the gas has been reset. If not, press and hold the safety button again until the burners do light.

Q: Como redirecionar requisição quando @PreAuthorize retorna false Estou aprendedo sobre o Spring MVC e Spring Security.
Como faço para redirecionar a página quando a seguinte linha retornar false
dentro de um @Controller ?
@PostAuthorize(" hasRole('page')")

Se a linha acima retorna true não há problema e a página é exibida corretamente.
Se a linha acima retorna false  página é exibida! Mas todas variáveis ficam faias, Ex: exibe uma tabela somente com o cabeçalho e sem nehuma linha.
Pergunto: como fazer para que ao invés de exibir a página vazia, seja redirecionar para outra página?

A: Pense se é possível fazer algo assim em seu controller:
    @RequestMapping(value = {"/login", "/"})
    public String login(@AuthenticationPrincipal User user){
        //se usuario for true (logado), manda pra home
        if(user != null){
            return "redirect:/home";
        }
       //se usuario for vazio (falso), retorna pro login
        return "Login";
    }


Recommended (recommended for use) - Products or technologies recommended for use.
Baseline (in use today) - Products or technologies currently allowed, but not supported.
Containment (no new development) - Products or technologies slated for limited investment (use).

1. Artifact Upgrades - minor version upgrades of existing artifacts where the item is currently available in another central Maven repository. Getting the artifact added to Nexus could be as simple as providing the Artifact ID, Group ID, and the requested version number.
2. Emerging Artifacts - as stated above, these are products or technologies that need to be evaluated, with the intent of eventually changing the disposition to Recommended or Containment, depending on the results of the evaluation. To request an Emerging Artifact, send an email to the AO. The questions that should be addressed in the email are documented in the Artifact Request Email. Additionally, Emerging Artifacts require the completion of an Architectural Decision (AD) after the evaluation period.
Note: The expectation for the AD is that, at a minimum, a source of contact is documented for the new technology. The amount of effort put into the AD may vary.
New software download requests may require certification by the IO Lab. These requests are independent of Maven. See the Software Acquisition Summary (FSA Intranet Access Only) for specific details.
