Position of the European Society for Prevention Research on ineffective and potentially harmful approaches in substance use prevention 22/10/2019
What is "Prevention Science"?
The field of prevention science represents a multi-disciplinary endeavour to consider aetiology, epidemiology, intervention design, effectiveness and implementation for the prevention of a variety of health and social problems. These include, but are not limited to, substance misuse, sexual health and teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, violence, accidents, suicide, mental illness, delinquency, obesity, diet/nutrition, exercise, and chronic illness. A common characteristic is the importance of behaviour as a determinant of ill-health and health inequality. Behavioural risk factors are important causes of Non-Communicable Disease (NCD).
Prevention Science covers the systematic study of interventions to reduce the incidence of maladaptive behaviours, and to promote adaptive behaviours, in populations. This requires expertise in a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches for the purpose of conducting research within the social and societal systems of the family, health and education, workplace, community, social welfare, environmental planning, urban design and fiscal policy.
Is it important? Why is it needed?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) NCDs are the leading causes of death in all regions except Africa, but current projections indicate that by 2020 the largest increases in NCD deaths will occur in Africa. NCDs already disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries where nearly 80% of NCD deaths – 29 million – occur. Other key facts from WHO are that:
NCDs kill more than 36 million people each year.
More than nine million of all deaths attributed to NCDs occur before the age of 60.
Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or 17.3 million people annually, followed by cancers (7.6 million), respiratory diseases (4.2 million), and diabetes (1.3 million).
These four groups of diseases account for around 80% of all NCD deaths.
They share four preventable behavioural risk factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diets.
In Europe, the unequal distribution of health outcomes across the EU poses a challenge to the EU's fundamental objective of solidarity and cohesion. Alarmingly, 97% of health spending across Europe goes on treatment as compared to only 3% on prevention. Whilst Prevention Science is a relatively new field of study, it is one which is growing in importance across the European Union. The growing number of fiscal, environmental and social pressures facing the EU is forcing policy makers to search for more effective and efficient ways of dealing with particular societal problems and issues. A focus on Prevention Science will provide added value within Europe.
Who is doing "Prevention Science"?
It is a new and growing multidisciplinary scientific field, with strong coverage in the United States, including a scientific society, methodology groups and networks, and a growing impact scientific journal. Recent initiatives in the UK and Europe are seeking to emulate this strong coverage across the European Community, with the development of the European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR) and the SPAN initiative.
The concept for the SPAN initiative was incubated within the membership of the European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR), a cross-disciplinary not-for-profit membership organisation comprising European scientists and researchers, policy makers and practitioners, methodology specialists, academics, career development advisers and prevention implementation specialists. In a meeting of the EUSPR held in Amsterdam in 2010 three workshops were held. These workshops focused on research and evaluation methodology; dissemination; and education and training, for prevention science in Europe.
A key conclusion from the workshops was that further academic development was needed in Europe, to develop academic consensus across European countries for research methods, to develop and promote extensive dissemination channels in European countries, surrounding regions and further afield, and to map education and training in prevention science throughout Europe as a step toward developing consistent prevention science curricula and standards.
In particular, the Training and Education Group, which brought together fourteen prevention researchers, practitioners and policy makers from Sweden, the United States, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Croatia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East, identified a particular need to;
Develop a comprehensive education and training portfolio for prevention theory, research and practice, which would clearly define the scope of prevention research and practice;
Undertake a mapping exercise to identify and categorise existing provision;
Develop a model of prevention science education and training that creates new, agreed education and training curricula (with both core and additional elements) at Masters and PhD level;
Try and work to embed prevention education and training in already established scientific disciplines and professional groups;
Establish a more effective training and education network to take forward the prevention education and training agenda.

Q: Execute code when file is modified I have a function the takes some time to complete. The function imports data from a .csv, parses it, and plots certain vectors from there.  The .csv is constantly being updated from an external program.  Ideally, the file size of the .csv would be monitored and when it changes the function is run. Here's what I have so far (assuming the described function is f).
file = "testfile.csv"
Dynamic[
    Refresh[
     filesize:=FileByteCount[file];
     data = Import[file, "CSV"];
     f[data],TrackedSymbols:>{filesize},UpdateInterval->5]]

This works, but seems to run f every 5 seconds no matter if the file size has changed or not. This doesn't seem to be very efficient. Also, if I try to use inside DynamicModule it doesn't work at all.
So, what's the best way to monitor and execute code on a file change?

A: rm -rf's answer (above) works in Mathematica 12.0 if you replace lastModified = {}; with lastModified =FileDate[fileName, "Modification"]

Dynamic[x]

.
Begin["Kale`"];

myCode[data_] := Style[ListLinePlot[Flatten[data], PlotTheme -> "Marketing"], Magnification -> 2];
fileName = NotebookDirectory[] <> "file.txt";

lastModified = FileDate[fileName, "Modification"];

updatedQ := With[{modificationDate = FileDate[fileName,"Modification"]},
   If[lastModified == modificationDate, False,
    lastModified = modificationDate; True]];

task = CreateScheduledTask[
                 If[
                    updatedQ
    , (
     data = Import[fileName, "Table"]; x = myCode[data]
      )
    , ## &[]
                  ]
                  , {0.1, ∞}
             ];

End[];

.
StartScheduledTask[Kale`task]

note:
in this example, file.txt was created with:
Export[NotebookDirectory[]<>"file.txt",{1,2,3}]//SystemOpen

A: The best way to do this would be using scheduled tasks. This way, you have greater flexibility over starting/stopping and quitting the task than with Dynamic. Here's an example:
Begin["Kale`"];
    fileName = "~/foo.txt";
    lastModified = {};
    updatedQ := With[{modificationDate = FileDate[fileName, "Modification"]},
        If[lastModified == modificationDate, False, lastModified = modificationDate; True]];
    task = CreateScheduledTask[If[updatedQ, Print["Changed"], ## &[]], {2, ∞}];
End[];

The above will check every 2 seconds to see if your file has been modified. If it has been, then it prints "Changed" (replace it with your custom function) to the messages window and does nothing otherwise.
You can start and stop your task with the following commands
StartScheduledTask[Kale`task];
StopScheduledTask[Kale`task];

respectively or remove it altogether using RemoveScheduledTask[Kale`task];.

Two shows currently on view — "Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection" at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and "Tyanna Buie: On Vacation" at the College for Creative Studies Center Galleries — mostly focus on the print, and in the process remind us of the medium's considerable charms.
The print is the great democratizer — an authentic work of art which, if not precisely unique, is nonetheless accessible to ordinary collectors in a way that paintings by famous individuals are not.
The CCS show closes March 31, while "Exercising the Eye" is up through July 22.
"Exercising the Eye" is a serene exhibition showcasing 21 artists from the 20th century, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Grace Hartigan among them.
Gertrude Kasle was a towering presence in the Detroit gallery world. The transplanted New Yorker opened her eponymous Fisher Building gallery in 1965, and it quickly came to influence how and what Detroiters collected.
Printmaking, she says, enjoyed a new vogue in the middle of the last century.
The gallery quickly became a social hub.
Shortly after her 10-year anniversary, in 1976 Kasle closed the gallery. She bequeathed this collection to UMMA on her death in 2016.
Walk into "Tyanna Buie: On Vacation" at the CCS Center Galleries, and you could be forgiven for thinking you'd wandered into a small urban square.
Apart from a pink industrial pipe that snakes through the exhibition, you're mostly surrounded by prints of handsome old windows and doorways, behind which locals might be staring at you.
That being-watched sensation is underlined by two gorgeous, stand-alone prints of women holding yellow magnolias and staring straight at the viewer — Buie's mother in an elaborate head wrap, and an unknown woman from family pictures.
If you think it might have to do with a search for identity, you'd be right.
Buie, who grew up in Chicago and Milwaukee, asked her mother where their last name came from.
That prompted a trip to New Orleans last summer, where the artist hoped the city's African-American roots would resonate with her own. The Crescent City led to Paris, and Paris, ultimately, to Berlin, which she found to be the most accessible of the three.
The Pepto-Bismol-pink PVC pipe that divides the small show refers to the odd industrial piping Buie says often vaulted over Berlin streets.
But most images here are drawn from New Orleans or France, in particular the three "windows" resembling medicine cabinets neatly filled with hair-care products.
The frames are drawn from the windows at Versailles. But their contents are very American.

Domestic objects and the accessories in our homes will become important too. They will be the intimate language for individuals to express their solidarity with environments and political issues. Issues they can involve themselves in by merely observing the plight of our planet on TV. Bric-a-brac that displays a social status and the ability to possess, will be replaced by humble items such as wood, ceramics, metal, or fabric.
Small necessary things, or even some not so necessary. Objects that are simple clear and human. They will stand in the yawning gap between the richness of the exclusive object, and its crass mass-produced plastic imitation. Their simple strength will correct an imbalance in the market. There will come to our homes a sense of survival and a need for calm and honesty. These accessories will be sold.
Simon Morgan is one of several European designers armed with an extraordinary determination to realise a communication and cultural progression. Designing 'concrete' practical and solid objects will achieve this. For this reason, Morgan is a part of the design movement entitled 'Solid'. Inevitably, this innovative group is centred in Milan. Where else would you find active and successful entrepreneurs involved in experiments in commercial industry and culture? Teh first meeting of Solid took place in December 1985 and its principles were set later, realising themselves in the first presentation of products in 1986. From that date, the solid group became official, producing small but essential objects for the house. A notable Italian kitchen furniture manufacturer brought it together, and sponsored Solids' eight designers.
Morgan works out of his studios in Zurich, Switzerland and Milan. This studio (rather tongue in cheek) called 2D 3D implements graphic and industrial design projects. He, together with his partner, support themselves and their families developing Hi-tech products for large international corporations. However, the design movements such as Morgan's 'Solid' and other like Memphis, Alchimia, and more recently Progetto Oggetto are all the results of self motivated initiatives.
These pioneering projects are conserved and worked on by mainly multinational teams of designers, all of whom congregate in Milan. They all found sponsors for their ideas in this city in Northern Italy. It is in this rich climate that the seed of change can bear its fruit for other barren western culture to pluck. The consequences of this budding activity have allowed change to show itself in one place, for the world to look before others dare. It is as if all realise something needs to be done, but all wait for Milan to put its best foot forward first.
The explosion of decoration in the early 80s is now over and the fantasy world will be replaced by forms such as Morgan's. Solid forms full and pure, with fixed rules and almost always natural. 'Solid' will bring integrity back to simple household objects. Accessories such as small table utensils. It will be these simple and humble household objects that will be taken into the home by this new era's consumer. New images will be cherished in a fork or in a coffee cup. Design will bring an extraordinary instrument of figurative communication back onto our lives. Less exclusive and affordable little things that generate our everyday life.
Three items in the collection of product developed by "Solid" a design movement established by Simon Morgan and a mix of European designers in 1986 in Milan Italy. These and other items in the collection were featured in an article by Mark Lewis published in 1993 as part of a piece reflecting on the innovations in design that carried forward to subsequent eras. Simon, a very close friend of Marks, after leaving Kingston Polytechnic where they met, went to work in Italy and later France. He worked with George Sowden and Ettore Sottsass developing product for Olivetti and furniture and accessories for the Memphis group of designers in 1981. Our work of that era set the tone for the "Postmodern" design movement of the 80's. Simon died in tragic circumstances. Simon Morgan 1958-1999.
The entire Memphis collection was purchased over the years by David Bowie. His collection was activated by Sotherby's in 2017.

Google's Appeal Against 'right-to-be-forgotten' Rejected by French Data Regulator
Google's appeal against the enforcement of Right To Be Forgotten (RTBF) has been rejected by the French data regulator, Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).
The CNIL had ordered Google in May to apply RTBF removals on its European domains such as google.co.uk or google.fr and its global domain as well.
Google in returned filed an appeal stating that it would impede the public's right to information, and that it "risks serious chilling effects on the web".
The authorities rejected Google's appeal stating that the RTBF must be applied across all extensions of the search engine.
"Contrary to what Google has stated, this decision does not show any willingness on the part of the CNIL to apply French law extraterritorially. It simply requests full observance of European legislation by non-European players offering their services in Europe," said a CNIL official in a statement to The Guardian.
If Google refuses to comply with the ruling, CNIL is likely to apply sanctions including a fine of €300,000 against Google.
"We've worked hard to implement the 'right to be forgotten' ruling thoughtfully and comprehensively in Europe, and we'll continue to do so. But as a matter of principle, we respectfully disagree with the idea that one national data protection authority can assert global authority to control the content that people can access around the world," said a spokesperson from Google while talking to The Guardian.

Construction accidents resulting in injuries are common. However there are several issues that need to be addressed when handling these personal injury claims. It has to be determined whose negligence caused the injury. If it was caused by the actual employer of the worker, then they may have to assert a worker's compensation claim. However, if another company and/or entity is responsible for the accident, then the worker may be able to make a third party personal injury liability claim, separate and apart from any workers compensation claim.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a construction accident, contact Adelman & Adelman, P.A. today for a FREE consultation.


"I say to you, Christian friend: come to the cross and join Him in union with His death, and enter into all the meaning of death to self in order that He can have glory. I say to you, dear Christian, if you do not know the fullness of the Holy Ghost, come and present your body a living sacrifice, and let Him fill you so that He can have the purpose for His coming fulfilled in you and get glory through your life. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF GOD, IT'S WHAT'S HE GOING TO GET OUT OF YOU. Let's be done, once and for all, with utilitarian Christianity that makes God a means, instead of the glorious END that He is…Let's come and cast ourselves at the feet of the nail-pierced Son of God and tell Him that we're going to obey Him, and love Him, and serve Him as long as we live, BECAUSE HE IS WORTHY!"


From 172 buy-to-let locations, it has been revealed that the North West region of the UK is the best location to invest in buy-to-let properties. This has been recognized by property investors as North West investment has reached its highest level in over a decade. In 2018, property investment in the North West reached £3.17 billion – the highest level pre-financial crisis (in which the highest year recorded was in 2007 with £3.27 billion worth of investment).
An AI powered property investment portal by One and Only Pro found that the five locations with highest concentration of high scoring properties can be found in the North West of England. Salford topped the list with 21% of 'Diamond' properties (a property that scores 10 out of 10 through the algorithm) located in the West Manchester region.
This growth clearly shows that domestic factors outweigh uncertainty in the general UK market – particularly due to the ongoing events associated with Brexit. Supply continues to meet the demand across these regions, this, combined with increased private investment and government strategies (i.e. the Northern Powerhouse scheme – a government initiative to redirect investment from London to Northern and Midlands regions such as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham) and therefore, capital growth and rental yield continue to perform strongly.

Home/Nation/Rehab. No, mandatory military service will not be restored
Rehab. No, mandatory military service will not be restored
morocco August 18, 2018 Nation Leave a comment
Contrary to what has been provided by some media, compulsory military service in Morocco will not be restored. The government council will only consider a draft law relating to military function.
Everything began with the publication of the agenda of the Board of Directors, which will take place on Monday, August 20 in Tetouan. The calendar has only one item: "Bill 44.18 on the military function". Immediately the web caught fire and netizens began to talk about the restoration of compulsory military service. Some even welcomed a praiseworthy initiative. But in fact it is not.
Very expensive military service
Contact recorded by H24info, a well-informed source has the following motivated: "A decision that is heavy for economic and safety consequences does not take up not at night. compulsory military service requires years of careful work and preparation.For our source this debate can be justified before the scoping note of the Finance Act is sent. "By reading the letter sent by the head of government to the finance departments of his team, we understand that the priority lies with the social field, not with the compulsory military service. Such a reform costs a lot and it is impossible to ignore this when writing the scoping note. "
From a financial point of view, the introduction of the military service will cost the Treasury a lot, because it requires, nurtures, accommodates, arms, trains and trains several young Moroccans." The army will not be able to do this with its current budget. More will be needed, even double, "estimates our source.
The Chief of Staff of the King
What follows from the account the government council will be held on Tetouan, is an amendment to the statutes of the army's officials and a revalorization of wages for certain degrees and their social circumstances.The text of the law will then be submitted after the approval of both Houses of Parliament
Far from the figures, this decision "if it must be taken, it will be taken by the King himself, because he is the leader of the armies. The relationship between the government and the army is the budget and the social conventions ", explains our source and adds:" Constitutional, the king is the chief of staff. In order to restore compulsory military service, the king can make laws by dahir without going through the government. In this way, no party or government will claim the merit and reap the benefits of the elections. "
Another point further away from this route is the regional context in the MENA zone affected by the war in Syria and in Libya." Imagine that the military service was instituted at the beginning of the war in Syria. We would have delivered turnkey soldiers to terrorist organizations, "laughs our source.

Q: Gradle doesn't compile classes in war project I have following project setup with Eclipse:
project
    build.gradle
    libraries.gradle
    settings.gradle
    ear-project
        build.gradle
    ejb-project
        build.gradle
    war-project
        build.gradle

This is build.gradle from root project:
apply from: "./libraries.gradle"

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

subprojects {
    apply plugin: "java"
    apply plugin: "eclipse"
    apply plugin: "findbugs"

    group = "foo.bar"
    version = "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7

    configurations {
        provided {
            description = "Non-exported compile-time dependencies"
        }
    }

    sourceSets.main {
        compileClasspath += configurations.provided
    }

    eclipse {
        classpath {
            plusConfigurations += configurations.provided
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        provided(libraries.javaee)
        provided(libraries.ejb)
        provided(libraries.cdi)
        provided(libraries.jpa)
    }
}

ear-project build.gradle:
apply plugin: "ear"

dependencies {
    deploy project(path: ":ejb")
    deploy project(path: ":war", configuration: "archives")
}

ejb-project build.gradle
apply plugin: "java"

war-project build.gradle
apply plugin: "war"

After running "gradle build" from command line the .ear-file is generated, but the .war-file contains only non-compiled .java classes. Classes in ejb project are compiled into .class. Why the classes in war-project are not compiled?

A: The Java files must be in src/main/java. Not src/main/webapp. src/main/webapp is the directory where the webapp static assets are located: JSP files, HTML files, JS files, etc.


Today, Royal Wagenborg acquired m.v. Veersediep as the first out of seven vessels. In the coming months the "Vechtdiep", "Vliediep", "Leuvediep", "Lingediep", "Loodiep" and "Loenerdiep" will also be obtained and given a 'borg-name'.
Renamed 'Zijlborg' this vessel is currently undergoing a paint job, providing her with the Wagenborg colours at shipyard Royal Niestern Sander. Equipped with ice class 1A and two box-shaped holds of 39.0 and 42.8 m, m.v. Zijlborg is suitable for worldwide trade carrying various cargos such as forest products, breakbulk and bulk making m.v. Zijlborg a perfect fit in the existing fleet of ice-strengthened multipurpose dry cargo vessels.


As of the 5 a.m. update from the National Hurricane Center, the strongest sustained winds are now up to 60 miles per hour.
The Tropical Storm will be causing increased swells off the coast of North Carolina and mid-Atlantic states which "could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions". Tropical storm force winds were extending outward up to 70 miles, the center said.
Beryl has weakened significantly as it moves across the Eastern Caribbean under the watchful eyes and cautious preparations of officials from several islands.
Chris is expected to continue to strengthen.
Some 60,000 people also still have only tarps for roofs in Puerto Rico, also suffered widespread damage from Hurricane Maria.
Tropical Storm Beryl is yet another strengthening system that meteorologists are keeyping an eye on.
Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit told residents to store water because the government would shut down the water system as a precaution. It's expected to remain "well offshore" of the USA coast, forecasters say, instead heading for Newfoundland, Canada.
The National Weather Service is reporting the tropical storm could turn into a hurricane as it moves northeast Monday night and picks up speed. The hurricane will cause 'rough seas and rip currents' along the coast of the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic Beaches through Tuesday and Wednesday. The projected path should take it northeast, keeping it offshore, but it will most likely remain stationary through Tuesday.
The Hurricane Center says ex-Beryl has a 40 percent chance to become a tropical depression or storm again over the next five days.


"God guides us, despite our uncertainties and our vagueness, even through our failings and mistakes...He leads us step by step, from event to event. Only afterwards, as we look back over the way we have come and reconsider certain important moments in our lives in the light of all that has followed them, or when we survey the whole progress of our lives, do we experience the feeling of having been led without knowing it, the feeling that God has mysteriously guided us."
This quote reminds me of Jeremiah 29, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. "

Q: Mysql Split String and Select with results I have currently 2 tables looking like this:
frontend_users:
uid | usergroup | name
1   | 1,2,3     | Michael
2   | 2         | Tobias
3   | 1         | Colin
...

and
usergroups:
uid | title
1   | member
2   | reporter
3   | admin

I tried to split the usergroup and select for each number the usergroup and add it to the result of the display, which should look like this in the best case:
uid | name    | groups
1   | Michael | member, reporter, admin
2   | Tobias  | reporter
3   | Colin   | member

The best result I found so far was from here:
Split String and Do Calculation in MySQL
but I can't seem to be able to select from the other table with the substring_index result.
My current query looks like this:
SELECT frontend_users.uid, frontend_users.name
CASE
    WHEN frontend_users.usergroup LIKE '%,%,%' THEN
        CONCAT((SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(frontend_users.usergroup, ',', 1)),
            (SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(frontend_users.usergroup, ',', 2), ',', -1)),
            (SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(frontend_users.usergroup, ',', 3), ',', -1)))
    WHEN frontend_users.usergroup LIKE '%,%' THEN
        CONCAT((SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(frontend_users.usergroup, ',', 1)),
            (SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(frontend_users.usergroup, ',', 2), ',', -1))),
    ELSE (SELECT usergroups.title FROM usergroups, frontend_users WHERE usergroups.uid = frontend_users.usergroup)
END AS groups
FROM frontend_users, usergroups

I tried to use a for loop for the number of groups but the results were even worse.
Any hints how I can use the select query with the substring_index result?

A: You should think about the normalization. However for the current schema consider the following
mysql> select * from frontend_users ;
+------+-----------+---------+
| uid  | usergroup | name    |
+------+-----------+---------+
|    1 | 1,2,3     | Michael |
|    2 | 2         | Tobias  |
|    3 | 1         | Colin   |
+------+-----------+---------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from usergroup ;
+------+----------+
| uid  | title    |
+------+----------+
|    1 | member   |
|    2 | reporter |
|    3 | admin    |
+------+----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

To get the desired result you may use the following query which is not efficient for long run
select
u.uid,
u.name,
group_concat(g.title) as groups
from frontend_users u
join usergroup g on find_in_set(g.uid,u.usergroup) > 0
group by u.uid ;

+------+---------+-----------------------+
| uid  | name    | groups                |
+------+---------+-----------------------+
|    1 | Michael | admin,reporter,member |
|    2 | Tobias  | reporter              |
|    3 | Colin   | member                |
+------+---------+-----------------------+

Now a better approach would be to create an association table as
mysql> create table user_to_group (uid int, gid int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec)

mysql> insert into user_to_group values (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,2),(3,1);
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 5  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

And a better query would be
select
u.uid,
u.name,
group_concat(g.title) as groups
from frontend_users u
join user_to_group ug on ug.uid = u.uid
join usergroup g on g.uid = ug.gid
group by u.uid ;

+------+---------+-----------------------+
| uid  | name    | groups                |
+------+---------+-----------------------+
|    1 | Michael | member,admin,reporter |
|    2 | Tobias  | reporter              |
|    3 | Colin   | member                |
+------+---------+-----------------------+

CASE
    WHEN usergroup LIKE '%,%,%' THEN
        CONCAT(

             WHERE usergroups.uid = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(usergroup, ',', 1), ',', -1)

Kim Kardashiain's insurance company, American International Group, AIG, has filed a lawsuit against Pascal Duvier and his company, Protect Security for $6.1 million.
The suit which was filled in Delaware yesterday claims the security company "carelessly, negligently and recklessly performed their security, monitoring and protection and surveillance of Kim and the private apartment where she was staying for the Paris fashion week in October 2016.
The insurance company paid Kim after she was robbed of jewellery worth millions of dollars two years ago. In the document, AIG in the suit accused the bodyguards of leaving Kim Kardashian West alone in her room and failed to correct several security breaches including a broken lock and a malfunctioning intercom.
After the incident in which the reality star admitted to fearing that she was going to be killed (she was tied and gagged while naked and placed in a bathtub), she parted ways with Duvier a month later.
"They grabbed me and took me into the hallway. I was wearing a bathrobe, naked underneath. Then we went into the room again and they pushed me on the bed. And, it was this time, they tied me up with plastic cables and taped my hands, then they put tape over my mouth and my legs," she said in an interview.
The former bodyguard, however, wasn't fired; instead, he asked to be reassigned to another client, saying that he felt as though he let Kim Kardashian down by not protecting her enough.


Auto-Pathfinder also has the Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) function of the MX autopilot system. Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC), wver the nose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction: In course lock flying, the forward direction is the same as a recorded nose direction. In home lock flying, the forward direction is the same as the direction from home point to the multi-rotor.
Under each arm of the Auto-Pathfinder t are some high intensity LED indicators which are used to help you to see the orientation during flight.

Well, I have to say Phoenix, I'm impressed! Not everyone takes on a murder trial right off the bat like this. It says a lot about you... and your client as well.
Episode 1: The First Turnabout is the first episode of the game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. In Phoenix Wright's first trial as a defense attorney he must defend his childhood friend Larry Butz, who has been accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Cindy Stone. Phoenix Wright, Mia Fey, Larry Butz, Winston Payne, Frank Sahwit, and the most frequently appearing judge all make their debuts in this episode.
Even among all of the introductory "tutorial" episodes in the Ace Attorney games, The First Turnabout is relatively simplistic. This episode is the shortest in the series, consisting of a single trial chapter. Additionally, although the player has the ability to press witness statements, this functionality is not formally introduced until the following episode, and thus is not strictly necessary to progress in this episode.
Crime Edit
Sahwit examines his handiwork in shock.
A small statue of "The Thinker" dripped with blood, while a young woman lay dead on the wooden floor with her blood pooling around her head. The man standing over her began to panic, not wanting to get imprisoned for murder. Suddenly, the man smirked as he remembered seeing someone leaving earlier, and decided to pin the murder on him.
Trial Edit
Phoenix Wright was nervous at the prospect of being in court as a defense attorney for the first time, especially since his first trial was a murder case, but his mentor, Mia Fey, soon appeared to give him some moral support, along with a copy of the victim's autopsy report. Wright explained to Fey that he owed his client a favor, since he was part of the reason Wright had become a lawyer in the first place. Right on cue, Wright heard and then saw a panic-stricken Larry Butz, his best friend since grade school and now his first client. Wright tried to calm his friend's nerves, but Butz seemed to be more concerned about a life without Cindy Stone, who was the victim and had been his girlfriend, than his own verdict.
In the courtroom itself, both Prosecutor Winston Payne and Wright addressed the presiding judge, who tested the rookie attorney on the basic details of the case to determine whether he was ready to defend his client. The judge asked Payne to submit the murder weapon into evidence: a small statue of The Thinker. Butz then took the stand. Payne told him Stone had dumped him, which Butz angrily denied, believing that he and the victim had been destined to be together, though he did admit that she had not been answering his phone calls or want see him.
Payne, looking to agitate Butz into incriminating himself with a motive, revealed that Stone had returned overseas with one of "them". He presented Stone's passport to the court, explaining that she had been in Paris until the day of the murder. He further disclosed that she had maintained relationships with several "sugar daddies" who gave her money and gifts to support her lifestyle. Payne's plan worked, with Butz calling Stone "a cheatin' she-dog" and saying that he would get to the bottom of it when he met her in the afterlife.
Butz leaving Stone's house, with Sahwit lying in wait.
The prosecution then called Frank Sahwit, a sycophantic newspaper salesman, to the stand. Sahwit testified that he had seen Butz quickly leaving Stone's apartment at 1:00 p.m. Suspicious, he went to investigate, only to find Stone's dead body. He subsequently left to find a public payphone in order to contact the police. The judge asked why Sahwit had not simply used the victim's phone, but Payne explained that there was a five-hour blackout at the time that prevented him from doing so.
The scene as testified by Sahwit.
In the subsequent cross-examination, Wright pointed out that the autopsy report placed the time of death at 4:00 p.m., so it would have been impossible for Sahwit to have found Stone dead at 1:00 p.m. Although Payne objected that Sahwit had simply forgotten the time, the judge doubted this; Sahwit had been very sure of the time in his testimony, and so the judge asked him why this was.
Sahwit claimed that he heard the time from the T.V., but Wright pointed out that the blackout would have made it impossible for him to do so. Sahwit then claimed that he saw the time on a clock in Stone's apartment, which was also the murder weapon. Wright objected again; the murder weapon that had been accepted into evidence earlier was a statue, not a clock.
However, Payne revealed that The Thinker statue did indeed double as a clock; by tilting it, it spoke the time. However, Wright refused to back down; there was no way Sahwit could have known about the clock function without having held it in his own hand. Wright stated that Sahwit assumed the time to be 1:00 p.m. because he was the real killer. As he killed Stone, the clock announced the time, leaving a strong impression on him.
Sahwit, infuriated at Wright's ruining of his testimony, began to breakdown on the stand, discarding his sycophantic demeanor and angrily throwing his toupee at Wright's face. The enraged witness asserted that Wright had no evidence to back up his claims, to which he responded by having the clock sounded in court; the time it announced was three hours behind the current time, which was the exact same discrepancy that was in Sahwit's testimony. However, Sahwit asserted that this was meaningless without proof that the clock was running three hours slow on the actual day of the murder. Although Wright briefly panicked at what seemed an impossible thing to prove, with some assistance from Fey he realized that he already had what he needed and presented his final evidence, Stone's passport from her trip to Paris. The clock was actually nine hours ahead at Paris local time; Stone had taken the clock with her on her trip and had neglected to reset the time upon her return. Sahwit, finally defeated, hyperventilated on the stand, foamed at the mouth and collapsed. He was soon arrested and Butz was cleared of all charges.
The victim walking in on Sahwit.
It was revealed that Sahwit was actually a common burglar who masked his trade by posing as a newspaper salesman to learn when residents left their homes, and had planned to rob Stone's apartment while she was on her trip to Paris. When he arrived, he saw Butz leaving the apartment and decided to steal the valuables quickly before anyone returned. However, Stone happened to return just then and caught him in her apartment. Sahwit panicked and struck her over the head with the nearest item he could find, The Thinker clock, killing her. The clock's voice rang out "I think it's 1 o'clock", and Stone died from the head trauma.
Aftermath Edit
After the trial, Fey congratulated Wright on his win. Butz interrupted in hysterics again, this time believing that Stone had not cared about him at all. Wright then presented The Thinker clock to him; she would not have carried such a bulky clock around unless it had some significance. Butz gave Fey another Thinker clock; he had made two as a memento of his and Stone's relationship. Fey then offered Wright dinner to celebrate Butz's acquittal. She also told Wright to tell her the story about how Butz had influenced his decision to become a lawyer over drinks sometime. Butz then slapped Wright on the back and told him: "Gee, Nick, it's good to have friends!", but the defense attorney had the feeling that he was not going to get paid, unless the clock he had given Fey counted.
Wright was unaware of it then, but the clock given to Fey would soon be at the center of another incident, and his promise to tell Fey about Butz and himself would be one he would be unable to keep.
Development Edit
Turnabout Sisters was the first case in early drafts of Gyakuten Saiban. However, major changes in character designs and roles, notably of the mentor, the assistant, and prosecutors Winston Payne and Miles Edgeworth, called for drastic changes to that case, and so another case was placed before Turnabout Sisters as the first case, which became The First Turnabout.
Cultural references Edit
When describing his relationship to the victim, Butz states that they were like Romeo and Juliet, or Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, to which Wright thinks, "Didn't they all die?" Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra are both tragedies written by the playwright William Shakespeare.
When asked for evidence to prove why the clock was running slow, if anything other than Stone's passport is presented, the judge will challenge Wright, who then thinks: "D'oh! That wasn't it!" "D'oh!" is a catchphrase often used by the fictional character Homer Simpson in the long-running American animated sitcom The Simpsons, normally when something's gone wrong for him.
When Fey questions Butz's belief that Stone didn't care about him, he says "Ex-squeeze me", instead of "excuse me". "Exsqueeze me" and "baking powder" are used as substitutes for "excuse me" and "beg your pardon", respectively, by the fictional character Wayne Campbell in the Wayne's World films.
One of the questions that the judge asks at the beginning of the trial is what the victim's name is. When Fey realizes that Wright has temporarily forgotten the victim's name, she says, "Look, the defendant's name is listed in the Court Record" (instead of "Look, the victim's name is listed in the Court Record"). This was corrected for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
This episode places the setting of the English localization of the Ace Attorney series in the Pacific Time Zone, which is nine hours behind the Central European Time Zone, which contains Paris, France. Official sources outside of the games (and two from the games themselves) place the setting specifically in Los Angeles, California.
With Japan being in a single time zone, the main setting of the original Japanese version of the games is unclear, aside from that it is somewhere in Japan. Mika Takabi (Cindy Stone) instead travels to New York in the Japanese version, and The Thinker clock is 14 hours behind due to being set to Eastern Standard Time. This is actually an error on the part of the developers, as New York practices daylight saving time like most of the United States, and thus it should be 13 hours slow in August.
In the unofficial Brazilian Portuguese fan localization[1], the setting is changed to São Paulo, a Brazilian city with a sizeable Japanese community; in order to keep the time difference contradiction at the center of the episode, the clock is eight and a half hours ahead as the victim traveled to Mumbai, India.
This case is one of only a few in the entire series in which the killer is clearly shown in the introductory cutscene actually committing the crime (with the others being Turnabout Sisters, Turnabout Visitor, The Monstrous Turnabout, and The Foreign Turnabout).
This is one of only three cases in which only one witness is cross-examined, with the others being Turnabout Visitor and the non-canonical Apollo Justice: Asinine Attorney.
After Sahwit hyperventilates and passes out, the judge asks Payne about Sahwit's condition. When he does so, the judge refers to him as Payne's "client", which would actually be correct terminology when referring to an attorney's witness. However, this was changed to Payne's "witness" for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, presumably due to the likelihood of a player erroneously considering it an mistake.

With the goal of opening the road by Memorial Day each year, this year, they made it a day early! Clearing winter and spring snows is a monumental effort that begins in April. Crews begin to plow from both the west and east side, eventually meeting at the Alpine Visitor Center. It takes snowplows up to six weeks to carve through 30ft-high drifts to clear.
Trail Ridge Road is North America's highest, continuous paved road. Opened to the public in 1932, the road follows an old Ute Indian trail through thick forests, across tundra decorated with glorious flowers, and brings the traveler eye-level with snow-covered mountain peaks.
Dubbed the "Highway to the Sky," this beautiful scenic drive spans 48 miles between Grand Lake and Estes Park. As you make your way through, the road reaches an elevation of 12,183 feet. Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road in the US. The scenic route is robust with fragrant wildflowers and a variety of wildlife.
For those would like a narrated tour on the road, we highly recommend the GyPSy Guide app! The GuestGuide team has tested this app out, and we loved it!
The app provides you with a professional tour guide commentary along the drive, highlighting history, geology, legends, local tips, and directions. For those concerned about service, the app works offline, so no data or cellular signal is required after download. All you have to do is drive, listen and soak in the scenery!

SmartAddress®
An Address for Everything®
We view the world as a collection of billions of smaller micro-locations and focus on the needs of RE owner/operators to capture, manage and provide micro-location addressing, mapping, routing, information and data for both internal and external uses.
AI and autonomous vehicles, drones, robots, and other devices also require more precise and timely micro-location information for transportation, delivery, parking and other services, and there is a critical need to capture and provide this granular micro-location addressing and information.
Our patented AddressPlus®, CityPlus®, and MicroMap® micro-location geocoding technologies and services platform, registry and real-time clearinghouse provides a single universal solution and distribution point for digitizing and sharing micro-locations and micro-location information and making it interoperable across all platforms and services. These combined SmartAddress technologies make it substantially easier to identify, access information about, navigate to, and interact with millions of micro-locations in and around real estate properties, projects, and buildings. Our geo.to® system creates a mini-GeoSite® website for every micro-location with a GeoLink® QR Code and dedicated short link for instant access. It will help reduce wasted time, fuel consumption and emissions finding and getting to micro-locations, and it will generate a new generation of geospatial data for BI.
This will be immediately helpful today for everyone using traditional systems, but the SmartAddress technology will also fill a current void and critical need for AVs and automated micro-location devices and services.
With over 20 patents issued in the area of mobile, local search and micro-location technologies since our first filing in 1996 and patent terms extending until at least 2032, we work with all RE owner/operators, mapping and location service providers to enable a new universal cross-service micro-location geocoding referencing system for all services and users. It is analogous to the DNS for domain names and telephones number for telephones, providing a critical and much needed level of interoperability among all services. Our system combines the best of user-friendly location names and street addresses that everyone uses with precise, simple numeric geocoding to make the fastest, easiest yet most powerful addressing paradigm on the planet, and our technology has the support of world-class GIS and AI experts.
Here is a quick summary of our key micro-location mapping patent families:
Real-Time Unified Geographic Database (RUGD™) and clearinghouse that can help provide a single source of truth (SSOT) for locations that is both centralized and disaggregated yet connected in a single system, including our incredibly simple yet innovative and powerful MicroMap® xy, xyz, hierarchical, and hybrid grid and AddressPlus®, CityPlus® micro-location referencing systems. See U.S. Pat. No. 8,935,220
Smart, AI enabled systems and methods to clarify and enhance communications with real-time information about SmartAddress® locations and other terms (e.g. locations and brands) used in the communications based on the identity, history, location or other context of the sender and/or the intended recipient(s). See U.S. Pat. No. 10,296,568.
Automatically shortening traditional legacy street or postal addresses into short, unique proprietary SmartAddress shortcodes that can be owned, managed and monetized by the creator/owners for privacy and other purposes, with emphasis on sub-street address, 'micro-locations'. See U.S. Pat. No. 9,372,934
Permission-based, hyper-privacy centric systems for transforming phone numbers, biometric attributes (e.g. facial recognition) domain name/URLs, social media handles, and email addresses into user owned and controlled micro-location SmartAddress IDs and providing owners through an SSOT real-time control over if, when, how, who, and to what extent users and services can access their SmartAddress micro-location information. See U.S. Pat. No. 9,678,986
Our primary goal is to develop and deploy SmartPoint's patented micro-location technologies, together with other mapping and micro-location services with industry leading companies to enable the next and future generations of micro-location services, particularly micro-and inbuilding navigation by AI and autonomous vehicles and delivery devices like robotics and drones. We intend to work with others to leverage our systems and technologies to reduce inefficiencies in transit, deliveries, wayfinding, parking, asset and facilities management, emergency services, and information assimilation and dissemination, with the ultimate goal of driving efficiencies, saving time, money, and pollution and even helping save lives with more comprehensive, accurate and precise micro-location information.


This one-day course focuses on the benefits of nurturing the diversity of perspectives when working with another person or in a team. Participants will explore transforming their work relationships into ones of respect through discovering commonalities or interdependencies and in the context of aligning around a common goal. As a result, this mosaic perspective may modify one another's viewpoint and fosters innovative, more resilient outputs.
This interactive workshop employs a variety of individual, paired, and group activities, allowing time for participants to practice the concepts discussed in the course.


Accounting for 30% of your credit score, your credit utilization is the ratio of your credit card balance to your credit card limit. Your score will go down if you have high utilization because your hands are already full, thus making you less qualified for a new loan. To improve your score, keep your utilization under 30% on every account you own. This will tell potential lenders that you're not under the weight of debts that need to be paid.
Unfortunately, paying your balance in full at the monthly payment due date won't work. Banks don't necessarily report your information on the payment due date, so if you had a high balance on the day that information was issued, your score would suffer.
Banks submit your account information to the credit bureaus on the closing date, the last day of your billing cycle. You can predict your upcoming closing date by looking at the previous closing date and adding the number of days on your billing cycle.
Then, adjust your payment due date so that it's 5 days before the closing date. With your payment processed, you'll have a clean balance when your credit score is calculated.
A big part of credit card utilization is measured by taking the average utilization rate of each card. This means you can be strategic about how you portion your balances.
For example, if you have a $200 balance on a $500 limit card and a $1000 balance on a $2000 card, your utilization rate for each card is 40% and 50%, the average being 45%. If you pay the $200 balance to your other card, you have one card at 0% and the other now at 60%, the average being 30%. Though the total balance is the same, your credit utilization is now 15% lower. So pay down your lower limit cards first to most effectively bring up your score.
Arrange with your bank so that you receive a text or email when your balance utilization is near the 30% threshold. A good idea is to set it up at 20% so that you'll have some time to take action.
If you qualify for a credit limit increase, go ahead by all means. An increased limit will bring down your utilization, and you won't have to decrease monthly spending. Beware, though, that whether your limit will increase depends on your creditor's discretion. If you don't have a good history, stable income, or if your last increase was too recent, you may not be approved.
Make sure you're on top of your credit utilization for every account. Stay below that 30% mark. Remember, credit utilization changes according to how you manage your balance. By using these tips, you can make sure you have the best score possible before important financial moves.

This chapter critically examines the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on tertiary education in Nigeria and highlights outstanding indigenous innovations within tertiary institutions prompted by the pandemic. The Coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdown measures have led to the suspension of in-person instruction and learning in many higher education campuses globally. In Nigeria, school closure has negatively impacted the already fragile educational system, causing further hardships for students—who previously grappled with frequent school closures due to incessant strike actions and unrest. Unlike more developed climes—where schools have quickly transitioned to online teaching, poor infrastructural facilities (ICT and Internet) make online teaching and learning an arduous task for the hundreds of higher institutions present in Nigeria. We offer managerial implications relevant for University administrators and managers towards the development of a workable post-COVID-19 education strategy and response plan.

The National Curriculum (so we're not talking about the Curriculum for Excellence here) is apparently encouraging children to substitute simple words with more complex vocabulary. A number of writers who have wide experience of working with young people in schools are so concerned at the way in which children are being taught to write, that they've signed an open letter to the education secretary (the one in Westminster).
You can read an article about the campaign in The Guardian here.
We'd love to know what you think - teachers and pupils.


We started Partnership with Children's first Art Group! The process of making objects and images is, I hope, going to excite our students and get them re-engaged in school. We've got 10 kids signed up, all of whom have low attendance. Each session will include a little art history, and then will focus on an art-making activity that weaves in social and emotional skills like team-work, problem-solving, and respecting others' opinions.
In the first session we did our standard introductions and ice-breaker activities so everyone could get to know one another and start building a sense of trust. The next session, called "On an Island", should be really interesting because the students will have to imagine they are stranded on islands! Working in groups of 2 or 3, they will have to think about what they need to survive on their islands. Then they have to create a drawing of the island and all of the items they have decided they need to live. Since they are working in teams the students have to listen to each others ideas, which can be a real struggle for teenagers. It will definitely be interesting to see what they come up with and how they learn to work together to complete their "islands"!
The next session we're going to explore how music impacts emotions. We'll play different genres of music and have the students draw and paint to explore how the music shapes the type of art work they create. We're hoping this activity helps the students delve more into the various emotions they experience and how to express those emotions in a positive way.
Can't wait to see what the students create!

Personal reflections on linguistic diversity in the Philippines
By Camille Cabezas
Camille Cabezas is a senior at the Beacon Academy in Laguna, Philippines, where she has lived most of her life with her family and long history of pets. She is the head of Beacon's Media Arts Club and the artistic branch of Beacon Publications, as well as the drummer of the school band, Wednesday Firsts. As a dedicated content creator and worldbuilder, Camille's passion for Filipino culture and LGBTQ+ advocacy has made representation her personal mission in her art and writing. Outside her creative ambitions, Camille trains in kali, a Filipino martial art, and hopes to bring kali to Beacon by founding the club Griffin Filipino Martial Arts. Upon entering university, she plans to take up a degree in the arts and humanities. In her spare time, her hobbies include playing video games, curating her Twitter, streaming animated TV series, and being adventurous with food. She uploads her art on Instagram (@breezami) and Twitter (@_breezami).
7641 islands, 17 regions across 3 island groups, inhabited by more than 175 ethnolinguistic groups.
Given those numbers, I am reminded of a discussion in IB Social and Cultural Anthropology class. Our teacher wrote the word "FILIPINO" in big letters on the whiteboard, pointed at it, and just made a funny face, yelling: "Filipino. What the heck even is 'Filipino?!'"
In the entirety of the Philippine archipelago, there are an estimated 120-180 languages spoken among those 175 ethnolinguistic groups. I am a Filipino, and growing up here in the Philippines, Buwan ng Wika ("Language Month") was a yearly tradition every August. During this time, the Department of Education and schools all around the country promote the Filipino language and local culture to the younger generations in the midst of prevalent colonial mentality and globalization. We were called upon to speak and appreciate the "Filipino language" declared as the national language in 1937, even though it was constructed mainly with only one language out of that large three-digit estimate of 120-180. That language was the language spoken in the capital, Manila, and in the surrounding provinces in Luzon: Tagalog.
Nowadays it is more encouraged to say "Filipino Languages"–plural–instead, to avoid regionalist connotations of treating Tagalog as the standard national language when there were many other major languages like Kapampangan, Cebuano, Bisaya, Ilocano, Waray, and Hiligaynon being widely spoken in the regions outside of Manila and the rest of the Tagalog domain. Even beyond those major languages are creole languages like Chavacano and lesser known indigenous languages, some of which have unfortunately gone extinct. Before European contact and colonization by Spain, the USA, and then Japan, there was no "Philippines," only hundreds of individual nations that happened to coexist on what was identified as the Philippine archipelago. All these groups had their own cultures and languages. Many Filipino peoples had a strong oral tradition that was a means of expression through literary forms, traditions, and folklore, and some languages were accompanied by their own writing systems (like Baybayin for Tagalog and Kudlitan for Kapampangan) that were eventually replaced with the Latin alphabet.
As a result of the establishment of the Philippine nation and our interactions with foreign cultures across centuries of history both in the pre-colonial and post-colonial period, the cultures across the nation have become a very complex melting pot, and in turn, so have our languages, which are Malayo-Polynesian at their roots. Spanish, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and even Arabic have found their way into our indigenous languages as a result of cultural transmission.
I find the diversity and multicultural nature of the Philippines to be an essential aspect of what "Filipino" personally means to me. I speak both Tagalog and English–I learned both at the same time as both were taught in school and at home. Colloquial, everyday Tagalog and English was rarely ever just pure Tagalog or pure English, but rather "Taglish," a hybrid of the two that even had some form of established grammar. There was a "right" and "wrong" way to do Taglish–do it wrong, and prepare to be the object of jokes and general cringe from your peers. Speaking English fluently (especially with a thick American accent) had many connotations, both positive and negative depending on who you asked. English was associated with the educated, wealthy, upper-class, and with a preference for the foreign over the local. Given these connotations and the general confusion of how to even define Filipino, I found myself often using my command of English and Tagalog as my way of trying to "negotiate" or figure out how I was expressing my Filipino identity.
Many Filipinos were also trilingual, speaking Tagalog, English, and another mother tongue (my father, for instance, knows Kapampangan as his mother tongue). A friend of mine from Cebu, who speaks conversational Cebuano and Bisaya as well, has shared how she has constructed sentences that combined most if not all four of her spoken languages. For better or for worse, it was much easier for me to articulate my thoughts in multiple languages rather than just one, as combined Filipino and English was the default form of communication in everyday life–confining myself to either Tagalog or English felt very limiting. Slang was an even more unpredictable wild card, switching or eliminating syllables and/or manipulating one or more languages that it was sometimes hard to keep track of what slang was still "in" and what was already "old-fashioned." Some slang would fall out of use, some would be revived, some would maintain across generations like the specific slang of Filipino gay men that, occasionally, finds its way into the slang of the general populace.
I believe the evolution of languages in the Philippines speaks to its complicated history and our constant struggle between what's national, and what's global. While our yearly Language Months call for the preservation of the local, on the other hand there is great pressure to keep up with the developments of the international community. There's a very distinct image I can conjure when I think of these Language Months, with the recycled barong and baro't saya costumes, festivals, popular folk dances, Filipino pop songs, and summer-themed tourism ads. Admittedly, it got to a point where I felt underwhelmed by this distinct image. Just as I like to insist there's more to Filipino cuisine than adobo I like to insist there's more to Filipino language appreciation and cultural identity than "Mabuhay" and "Proud to be Pinoy."
I think there's more to our languages and our literature beyond just the poems recited every year, the music we listen to, or whether we spoke Tagalog or English or a weird quirky mix of both. Every Filipino has their own experience with the languages of our ancestors. Our experience with foreign languages and cultures is still reinterpreted with a Filipino context. I like to think it's not black-and-white, that even the "foreign" influences in our languages and cultures are still ultimately reclaimed to kind of become our own. After all, it's not just anywhere you'll see an English verb naturally conjugated into a sentence in Cebuano, or a hip-hop rap battle in Tagalog that draws its roots from older poetic traditions. Rather than dismiss slang, language hybrids, or non-Tagalog languages as "less civilized" or unacceptable in literary circles I believe it is better to instead embrace and celebrate the diversity and creativity of our languages and the people who have communicated with it across history. The Filipino is not a single, universal identity, and neither are the large array of Filipino and foreign languages that have found their way into our communities not just here on home soil but in Filipino communities around the globe.
