Q: R Package Check(): "All declared Imports should be used" Starting Situation:
I'm writing a small package of functions for myself only (not CRAN; on GitHub, but not public), and developing locally on the computer.  Mostly this is me being a newbie at R and learning to write first package.
I'm using devtools and after load_all() and check(), I have been getting this "NOTE":
-- R CMD check results -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MondelezR 0.1.0 ----
Duration: 21.1s

> checking dependencies in R code ... NOTE
  Namespace in Imports field not imported from: 'tibble'
    All declared Imports should be used.

0 errors v | 0 warnings v | 1 note x

Question:
Am I doing something wrong or is this a known/ expected problem that I can ignore?
Little more background:
I am using tibble()
In my package, "Find in Files" shows that I have used tibble in four files in different ways:
DESCRIPTION file:
[First Section of File Omitted]
Encoding: UTF-8
RoxygenNote: 7.2.0
Imports:
    stringr,
    dplyr,
    purrr,
    tibble,
    magrittr
Suggests:
    testthat (>= 3.0.0)
Config/testthat/edition: 3

(I have not seen the message for the other imported packages.)
FUNCTION: mdlz_otm_filter.R
[omitted]
#' @examples
#' df_otm_final <- tibble::tibble(
[omitted]

I am only using tibble in the example, not in the function itself, and the relevant portion is shown above.
DOCUMENTATION: mdlz_otm_filter.Rd
The roxygen2 documentation created from the above function shows the exact same example, but as documentation.
TEST THAT: test-mdlz_make_KEY1.R
test_that("POSTAL LANE2 works as expected", {

  df_test <- tibble::tibble(ORIG_ZIP = c("18615", "12345", "a5J 1u8"),
                            DEST_ZIP = c("1234", "23456", "i9y2b4"),
                            FINAL_KEY = c("18615-01234","12345-23456","A5J1U8-I9Y2B4"))

  expect_identical(mdlz_make_POSTAL_LANE(df_test$ORIG_ZIP,
                                         df_test$DEST_ZIP),
                   df_test$FINAL_KEY)
})

Attempt to remove tibble from DESCRIPTION
I tried removing tibble from Imports: on the DESCRIPTION file, but as I expected would happen, I got this instead:
-- R CMD check results -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MondelezR 0.1.0 ----
Duration: 26.6s

> checking for unstated dependencies in examples ... WARNING
  '::' or ':::' import not declared from: 'tibble'

> checking for unstated dependencies in 'tests' ... WARNING
  '::' or ':::' import not declared from: 'tibble'

0 errors v | 2 warnings x | 0 notes v

So... warnings are worse than notes I figure.
Research:
Google search to start with brought me to these posts:
RStudio Community Meta-Package  This guy's problem is that he needs to use functions in every package he's trying to put in his meta-package.  My issue is I'm already using tibble and getting the note regardless.
SO devtools R CMD check NOTE  But this one doesn't seem to apply because I AM using tibble in my package, and this guy is trying to remove it.
Help?
I don't know how to clear the note, if I should worry about it at all, or why I'm getting it since I am using tibble as shown above.  Trying to learn, so an expository answer is appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

A: It seems devtools check function is looking for an importFrom tag with the package tibble in some of your function documentation roxygen Docs.
Adding @importFrom tibble tibble to the functions documentation which use the library tibble might remove the note.

Antioch University Welcomes New Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Student Services
Dayton, Ohio – Antioch University, which serves students at its five campuses across the U.S. and online, is pleased to welcome Tom Julius, Ed.D., as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Student Services.

Can I make money with income property?
This is a questions asked by a number of people who realize the many advantages of owning real estate. Owning income property is not easy however, in the long can be very rewarding.
For example if you purchased a duplex today and paid $1,300,000 and put down 35% (most lender's requirements), at an interest rate of 4.00% your monthly payment to the bank would be $4,034.16 per month.
Let's assume for your $1,300,000 you can purchase a duplex with one side having 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1 car garage/carport, and the other side having 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 1 car garage/carport. What would those two units bring in form of rent on a monthly basis?
What I want to do is be a bit conservative here and not give you top of the market rents. After all you want good tenants that are will and able to pay the rent monthly without over extending themselves.
Let's say we can get $3500/month for the 3 bedroom unit and $2500 for the 2 bedroom unit. That'll give you a monthly income of $6,000!
Seems like a no brainier doesn't it? Well maybe yes and maybe no. Let's look at what other expenses and or costs you may incur along the way.

What Energy should be Considered for the Future?
WHAT ENERGY SOURCES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE FUTURE?
As we move ahead in time, the population growth rate is increasing at an exponential rate. As a result of this the energy demand is increasing as well. To meet this demand, more and more energy is being generated. Conventional energy sources like natural gas and coal has been the main sources of energy production. At the rate we are going, these sources will be depleted very soon. These sources contribute to a major portion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the power industry. It is about time that everyone start looking towards the sustainable practices or sources that contribute to GHG emission reductions and prevent natural resource depletions. Everyone is now interested in the idea of "Going Green" and this is the right way to go. Residential as well as industrial energy consumers are becoming more and more attracted towards green energy. Energy produced from sources like solar and wind have minimum environmental footprint and these sources do not deplete like conventional sources. With the enactment of facilities like net metering and various tax incentives, people are getting more encouraged towards investing in these sources. CO2 emission related problem is a major culprit for the increasingly degrading air quality and power industry is considered a major culprit for this. In case of United States, Kansas holds the 27th position in terms of CO2 emission by the power industry [1]. Coal has

Cleveland County Fair
Sept. 29 to Oct. 9, 2016
1751 E. Marion St.
Shelby, N.C. 28152
The Cleveland County Fair is held in Shelby, NC and has become the largest agricultural state fair in the state. You'll find plenty of animal and agricultural exhibits, along with the rides, food, music, entertainment, and everything else you'd usually associate with a "county fair."
In 1923, the Shelby Kiwanis planned a county fair that would combine several smaller fairs into one big event. Shares of stock were sold at $20, and $15,000 was raised in total to begin the Cleveland County Fair. 46 acres of land were set aside (now Cleveland Community College), and the fair officially opened in 1924 with about 70,000 people in attendance. Attendance has gradually grown to point that the Cleveland County fair is now the largest county fair in the state of North Carolina, with close to 200,000 people attending each year.
Events at the Cleveland County Fair
A glance at the 2016 fair schedule shows traditional events like Comedy Hypnotist Mike Bishop, Ackmonster's Chainsaw Art, Zerbini Family Circus, Stars of Indie Wrestling GRANDSTAND, and more.
This isn't just the only fair around. In fact, there's probably at least one more close to you! North Carolina is home to over 30 different county fairs. Click here for a look at each one.

"Maybe we need to look death straight in the eye." That is exactly what Emmett Till's mother thought. More precisely, she wanted the country to look hate-fueled murder in the eye when she had her teenage son's body tour the country in the state his murderers left it in.
Who was Emmett Till? What is Chuck referring to when he talks about how Emmett's mother's decision to let the world see what had been done to his son?
The murder of Emmett Till and his mother's decision to let the world see what hateful bigots had done to her son galvanized the civil-rights movement.
In August of 1955, one year and three months after Brown v. Board of Education, a fourteen-year-old black boy unschooled in the racial customs of the South traveled to Mississippi to visit relatives. With adolescent bravado, he whistled at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman. This inadvertent violation of a sacred code of the South cost him his life. Two white men dragged Till from his bed in the dead of night, beat him, and shot him through the head. Three days later his mangled body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River. It was Emmett Till's first visit to the South. Eight days after arriving in Money, Mississippi, where the town line was marked with a sign reading, "Money — a good place to raise a boy," Emmett Till was dead.If not for one extraordinary decision of Mamie Till, Emmett's mother, the story may have ended there. At the urging of civil rights leaders, Mamie Till decided to leave the casket open at her son's funeral. She told the mortician not to "fix" her son's face. The world would see what had been done to him. Tens of thousands of people viewed Emmett Till's body, which was on display in a Chicago church for four long days. Gruesome photos of his maimed and distorted face flooded the national and international press. America was shocked out of comfortable complacency, and the Till case became international news.
Two days after Till's death, Carolyn Bryant's husband and another white man were arrested and charged with his murder. During the trial the following month, the courthouse became a microcosm of race relations: black observers packed into the segregated balcony seats as the defendants' families joked openly with prosecutors and jurors on the floor below. The courtroom took on a carnival atmosphere as snacks and soft drinks were distributed to white observers. Outside, the international press jockeyed for photographs and interviews that captured the ways of the American South.
Till's uncle identified the assailants in court — the first time a black person had testified against a white in Mississippi, and perhaps in the South. He was forced to leave town. After a five-day trial that made an open mockery of the possibility of justice, the defendants were acquitted. The Bryants celebrated, on camera, with a smile and an embrace.
The federal government's failure to intercede in the Till case led blacks and whites to realize that if change were to come, they would have to do it themselves. The murder of Emmett Till was a watershed in the development of the nascent movement for civil rights. Some historians describe it as the real spark that ignited broad-based support for the movement.
Three months and three days after Emmett Till's body was pulled from the Tallahatchie, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began.
But here's a murder I think all the fans of Bob will actually enjoy. It's called BLOOD ON THE TRACKS.
I am a young african american teen who just learned all the hiistory of emmett till. A boy who didnt deserve what he did. He died out of stupidity and hatred. Life is not ok..the world is not ok. we cannot go on living like this and praying and hoping that things are going to change i worry at night wondering if i am going to see tomorrow. Tommorrow is not promise like my granny and daddy told me..You have to live life,its short.i dont want to die like this young man did even after i might not die that way but i dont want to die out of another man stupidity and hatred..I hate black history month but i also love it. the reason why i hate it,it seems like im reliving their life and thats not a great feeling..It also make me a little racist but i never do anything to hurt any whites.the one reason i love black history month is that stories get retold and children today will learn what we went and still go through today in america. this is no land of the free. they might say we're free but we're not.I pray that some day this will all be over and i and the other million african americans can live i life in peace.

Earlier tonight, I read somewhere that a Fox type had reviewed the illegally downloaded copy of Wolverine that's floating around the web.
Now, Wolverine has claimed his first victim: it's Roger Friedman, a Foxnews.com 411 entertainment columnist/blogger who sounds as if he may have just discovered the joys of illegal downloading for the first time, and really, really enjoyed them.
Unfortunately for Friedman, one of the things he illegally downloaded was the pirated copy of Wolverine. It all sounded a little too much to Fox honcho Roger Ailes like a Fox guy promoting digital piracy, so Friedman got kicked to the curb.
Or did he? No one at Fox seems to want to confirm Friedman's demise.
Oh! Now they do. He's toast.


Overnight RV Parking is no longer allowed.
We stopped into the casino and asked if we could park overnight in our motorhome and he replied it is NOT allowed.
I called ahead and the security person said they have a "no loitering" policy which means no overnight sleeping in RVs. Shame.
I had too much to drink and had planned on spending the night in my small 170 Roadtrek, but security pulled up in two separate vehicles and they told me I couldn't stay the night. Nice casino, but not RV friendly.
Very safe and friendly staff. Site is extremely clean. Right off the Freeway.

It is projected that by 2040 nearly one in four people in the UK will be aged 65 or over. Demographic changes have been driven – at least in-part – by significant improvements in life expectancy, which in the UK has increased from 70.0 for men and 76.0 for women since 1980, to over 79.0 and 82.5 respectively.
Improvements in life expectancy are a cause for celebration, though too often these extra years of life are spent in poor health and/or social isolation. A comprehensive public policy approach is therefore required to ensure the health and wellbeing of a population that includes a greater proportion of older people.
Action in this area needs to extend to more than just the absence of disease; it should look to support the ability and opportunity for people to play an active role in society and shape their own lives as they grow older.
The British Medical Association has published a report, which looks at ageing and health. The series of briefing papers focus on issues such as older people's mental health, living with long term conditions and supporting carers.

Zim Has 9 Million Poor People – Report
NEARLY 9 million Zimbabweans are poor with the majority of them among those living in rural areas.
This is according to recent ZimStats report focussing on Poverty, Income, Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (PICES) of 2017 and 2019.
The reports says extreme poverty rose from 30 percent in 2017 to 38 percent in April-May 2019 whereas general poverty (measured by the lower bound poverty line) rose from 43 percent to 51 percent during the same period.
"Although extreme poverty increased in both urban and rural areas, in relative terms, extreme poverty rose more in urban areas.
"In absolute terms, rural extreme poverty remained much higher than urban extreme poverty.
"The general poverty rate based on the lower bound poverty line remained high.
"It changed marginally for the rural population, but in urban areas, it rose sharply, from 16 percent to 24 percent during the same period."
The report added, "The number of extremely poor people rose from 4.5 million in 2017 to 6 million during April-May 2019, but the number of poor people measured by the lower-bound poverty line rose from 8.0 million to 8.9 million during the same period.
"Furthermore, whereas the number of extremely poor people in urban areas increased by about 327,000, it rose by 1.1 million in rural areas."
The increase in poverty rates and the number of extremely poor and poor people during the period under review can be attributed to high inflation coupled with the contraction of the economy and a poor 2018/19 rainfall season, ZimStats said.
"These negative changes in the economy are likely to have stressed the livelihoods of many Zimbabweans, thereby affecting households in urban areas more in relative terms compared to households in rural areas," the report said.
"Consumption expenditure fell for all welfare groups except the richest 10 percent or decile.
"The welfare groups in the lower end of the income distribution (lower deciles) had the largest proportional declines in consumption expenditure."
Consequently, inequality rose as the Gini index increased from 44.7 in 2017 to 50.4 in 2019.
ZimStats went on to say that the increase in inequality was driven by a rise in inequality within urban and within rural areas rather than between urban and rural areas.
"The profile of the extreme poor changed slightly as their proportion that is engaged in income-generating activities other than working on their own farms rose by 10 percentage points," it said.
"It increased from 21 percent of the extreme poor in 2017 to 31 percent in 2019."
Some characteristics of the extreme poor did not change.
"They still live mostly in large households and tend to have low educational attainment.
"About one-third live in a female-headed household, similar to the population as a whole."
Furthermore, children younger than 15 years old formed almost half of the poor and the extremely poor, but they only made up four-tenths of the population.

The EBSQ General Surgery Examination delivered by the UEMS and leading to the conferment of Fellow of the European Board of Surgery in General Surgery (FEBS General Surgery), is a quality mark for training in General Surgery.
It is an 'Exit Examination' which constitutes the final rite of passage for Specialist Trainees in General Surgery who have satisfied the requirements of the UEMS EBSQ General Surgery Syllabus and Curriculum.
Successful candidates are awarded the Qualification and may add the title "Fellow of the European Board of Surgery in General Surgery (F.E.B.S. General Surgery) to their name.
Like other specialties within the European Union (EU), General Surgery is regulated by the EU Professional Qualifications Directive 2005/36/EC, which provides for automatic mutual recognition in the European Community for European nationals whose name appear on their national Specialist register. The UEMS EBSQ - General Surgery Qualification does not lead to automatic recognition for specialist registration within the EU. Neither does it give the right to practice in any UEMS member country either (Glasgow Declaration: Appendix 1; point 3); such a right is only granted by the relevant National Authority.
By providing supporting evidence, the Qualification may be an important factor in the eligibility process for a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT, CCST), in countries where this constitutes the system of Specialist Registration. However, passing the UEMS EBSQ General Surgery Examination, leading to FEBS, in itself, does not lead to automatic conferment of the CCT (CCST). It is part of the application process where this applies.
In some countries, for trainees having completed the relevant training programme and satisfied all the requirements of the relevant Curriculum, the FEBS may lead to eligibility for CCT (CCST).
In countries where such a decision was adopted unilaterally or following bilateral agreements, the UEMS EBSQ General Surgery Examination has substituted the National Examination as a pre-requisite for Specialist Registration.
In some countries, the FEBS may facilitate eligibility for independent practice. This is of course entirely subject to authorization by the national relevant body.
In some countries, the UEMS EBSQ General Surgery Qualification it is taken into consideration in surgical appointments.
Outside Europe, and particularly in the Middle East, the EBSQ Qualification is increasingly recognized as a quality mark.
It is important that, if in any doubt, applicants for or holders of the Qualification seek clarification from the regulatory authority of the country where they are planning to practice.
General Surgery is a large specialty. It requires the acquisition of knowledge in basic sciences, the development of clinical and operative skills, as well as specialized knowledge and skills. It includes the management of congenital and acquired diseases and injuries of most organ systems.
It provides for operative and non-operative management, i.e. prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, decision making, treatment, intensive care and rehabilitation of patients with pathological processes that affect these organs, including the management of pain.
It also involves the necessary knowledge and expertise leading to referral to specialized centres when this is indicated and possible. Where this is not possible because of time and geographical considerations, the general Surgeon must possess the multi-specialty skills necessary to carry out these interventions safely.
The General Surgeon must be able to decide on whether a surgical treatment versus or a conservative management will serve the patient best.
The General Surgeon must be equipped to carry out a wide range of interventions safely and/or to refer patients to specialized colleagues or centres when indicated and possible.
In the management of patients, General Surgeons are often called to co-operate closely with other surgical specialists in the fields of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine, Radiology and Interventional Radiology, Neurology, Paediatrics, Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Rehabilitation Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and also Pharmacy.
Good communication skills are essential, in full respect of confidentiality.
The General Surgeon should also be able to treat and/or refer trauma and emergency patients depending on personal abilities, geographical situation and other regional modalities.
To make appropriate decisions, General Surgeons must keep their knowledge and skills up to date and be involved in Continuous Professional Development.

Jeju filmmaker captures local quirks
Director O Muel speaks about making films inspired by his hometown, Jeju Island. / Courtesy of Jin Jin Pictures
By Lee Hyo-won
Even to Koreans, words in the Jeju dialect sound alien.
The tropical island off the country's southern coast has long been a honeymoon hotspot but also a cradle for quirky cultural traditions that cannot be found on the mainland, from "haenyeo" (female divers) to volcanic landscapes that have been listed as UNCESO World Heritages.
O Muel, a Jeju native, has been stirring up the local indie scene with two films showing in theaters. Not surprisingly both works capture the rustic spirit of the region, though with a contemporary, modern and humorous edge that won him a jury award at the Jecheon International Music Film Festival.
His directorial debut piece, "Nostalgia", traces a pair of impassioned amateur musicians begging a once promising rocker to be their guiding light, while the latter deals with his mother's death. "Pong Ddol", which refers to the stone and metal objects attached to the end of a fishing rod, traces the trials and errors of a first-time filmmaker.
The films are marked by an oddity, particularly the local songs that elderly women sing that sound exotic to many Koreans, but also intimate through universal themes of friendship and family. And there is that rough, experimental, and sometimes even charmingly amateurish quality inherent to indie flicks.
Not surprisingly O jumped into the project "for the sake of creating something my friends and I could make and watch for ourselves".
"I'm amazed that the film is being shown", O said in Seoul in a recent interview. "The music that appears in the movies really caught the attention of the Jecheon Film Festival, but it's something that I grew up with. It's nothing new. I just tried to capture it in a natural way that felt right to me".
Much like the characters in "Pong Ddol", it was not easy working on a budget of less than $8,000 for each film. There were lighting problems for the audition scene. Due to the mercurial nature of the local weather, where it is raining one minute and sunny the next, the exposure was difficult to control.
But O and his cast and crew were well coordinated, possessing polished teamwork through their theater troupe and developed organizational skills through an annual art festival they founded. Moreover, they were able to persevere through a state of mind.
"It's true that money is really important in the film industry. But saying you cannot do something because of budget constraints means that you're trying to make money. Creativity is all about trying to express your thoughts and philosophy, and that's all there is to it. That is why we were able to come this far, to see our films release", he said.
But they stem from more than a wish to portray his hometown with a certain understanding.
"Jeju is receiving renewed attention for tourist attractions such as the Olle Trails, the construction of a navy base and yes, the prospects of becoming a new Natural Wonder site, but such developments sadden me", O said.
"The Olle Trails supposedly reveal the secrets of the island, but once revealed they are no longer secrets. It really strikes me as shocking that a lot of Seoulites don't see urban development of natural areas as a bad thing".
The filmmaker said in the future he hopes to explore more local issues such as the April 3, 1948 riot, which remains largely forgotten by many Koreans but is a painful scar for Jeju Islanders.
"It was never my goal to make films about Jeju Island. But the island and I are in one in body and spirit; my mother and father may have given birth to me but the island raised me. I simply want to pursue works through which I can stay true to myself".

Another brick in the wall: Examinations and the child
Published in THE HINDU, 5th May 2015
Rohit Dhankar
A few weeks ago, the media captured the stark and shocking image of people — family members and friends — climbing and getting on to the ledges of the high-rise Vidya Niketan school in Mahnar village, 60 kilometres from Patna, Bihar, to pass on answer chits to students appearing for their school exams on March 18, 2015. Headlines such as "Scaling new heights to deliver cheat sheets" and scenes on TV made it clear that this could never have happened without the connivance of teachers and examination personnel, thus laying bare the deep flaws in the Indian education system. The incident caused the State Education Minister P.K. Shahi to admit that stopping malpractices in Board examinations was a huge task.
"If we try to stop unfair means at a centre, friends and family members of the examinees gang up to intimidate us," said a schoolteacher. The incident at Mahar was not an isolated one. Reports also came in of people scaling compound walls of schools to help examinees at centres in Sharsha and Khagaria districts.
Just a few weeks after this, on April 15, BBC News published a story titled, "Jail for cheating Atlanta teachers".
These two starkly different responses to unfair means in exams, in India and the United States, are startling. In spite of a difference between teachers adopting unfair means with regard to manipulating exam results and school authorities, including teachers, allowing students to use unfair methods in exams using help from outsiders.
Who is to blame? Who should be held responsible? In both these examples, one has to acknowledge the great pressure of competitive exams and the mark sheet-centric approach in academics as being a measure of human worth in trying to understand why this happens. One also has to look closely at the relationship between education, learning, exams and competition.
Authentic self and education
We often talk of education as being an instrument of economic development of self and society. Sometimes, we also allude to it as being an instrument to help one prepare for critical, democratic citizenship. But rarely do we talk of education being a process to help a person form his authentic self. When I talk about "formation of the authentic self", I do not mean the oft-talked about character development and education in values. All three aims of education — economic, citizenship, and character/values — though necessary, fall short of helping one form one's authentic self. Moreover, they can be used to work against it.
The three characteristics I would like to count as being a part of the authentic self of an individual are: autonomy, integrity and harmony. Apart from one's intellectual capabilities, all three necessarily should manifest themselves as character traits of an individual. Further, their necessary ingredients are a deep, emotional investment as well as a dispassionate understanding.
Let's examine these three. Autonomy means using one's own mind in making choices whether they are personal or public. This is possible only with a robust understanding of the world and one's situation in it. It also demands a level of self-confidence and self-respect without being conceited or indulgent.
Integrity is more than just autonomy as it involves a coherence in the results of one's intellectual deliberations and taking them seriously while putting them in action and thus imparts an overall stability to one's personality.
Harmony, metaphorically, may be termed as a state of internal peace. More precisely, it means an alignment between one's emotional states, intellectual understanding and actions. I will also bring in "an absence of fragmentation", which does not mean the complete absence of internal tension. There will always be a certain degree of tension as one constantly faces new situations and in utilising one's emotional and intellectual energies to bear upon them. But this tension will always be confined to being within the limits of one's strength of character. This wholesome development of an individual can be called the formation of an authentic self. Education is the primary means of helping an individual form such a self. Perhaps, it is also the highest goal of education. An alternative expression for an authentic self can be: manasa, vachaa, karmana; with the proviso that all three are governed by one's own judgement.
Examinations and testing
So far there is no method by which to assess the development of an authentic self. The only test is life itself! Examinations are a severely limited means by which to assess educational development, even if the assessment of an authentic self is left out. First, they are limited to testing the present repertoire of knowledge of an individual; even this has severe problems of validity and reliability. Knowledge is a fully connected whole and it cannot be tested by seeking fragments of information as is usually done in examinations. Going deeper into the interconnections of concepts and beliefs of an individual is a time-consuming and subjective affair; subjective for both examiner and examinee. In order for it to be reliable, it demands objectivity across a sample of examinees. Therefore, validity and reliability vary inversely with each other. Large-scale tests such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Annual Student Assessment Report (ASER) can ensure a satisfactory level of reliability and validity only if the testing is limited to a very small portion of student learning. This makes them almost useless in understanding the development of an authentic self. However, to be fair, in such tests, this is not even the goal.
Competition, an endemic problem of everyday life, is aggravated through a system of testing and examination. In the name of pursuing "success", schools start encouraging competition at the individual level right from standard one. Measuring one child against the other becomes the motivating factor in learning; in the process, immeasurable damage is done to the child's self-image; in most cases, a child's worth is reduced to a piece of paper signed by the class teacher. In schools, students become almost intellectual slaves, competing with each other for a greater share of the market. At another level, as in States, large-scale, unreliable and invalid methods of testing are used. Education is reduced to the level of "teaching for testing". At the national level, it becomes the tool of one-upmanship and used in spurious predictions of future economic worth. In all this, the individual is completely lost. All that is visible are aggregates of a tiny part of the human capability, measured through tools of suspicious validity.
Education systems across the world are used to judge the worth of individuals. They issue certificates and mark-sheets and these documents are taken by employers and institutions of further education as the measure of an individual's capabilities. Since societies reward individuals on the basis of their perceived capabilities (if we ignore nepotism and money power), these certificates become the measure of the worth of the individual. Thus a person ends up getting characterised on the basis of minuscule part of his/her self.
The disproportionate importance accorded to such certification pushes people — students, parents and teachers — to use all means possible to get that good certificate. Therefore, using unfair methods in an examination, for example, is often the easiest way to get that ideal mark-sheet. This tilts the balance of the learner's personality; her development of reasoning, character and alignment of emotions are totally ignored. Her capability to reproduce so-called "important information" overwhelms everything else. Education, which is supposed to help her develop an authentic-self, creates disharmony within her soul.
Nonchalance versus righteous wrath
I come back to the incident and case I referred to in the beginning — in Bihar and the U.S. The typical Indian attitude/reaction if shown a picture of what happened in Bihar would have been one largely of a nonchalance borne out of apathy. The 15-minute flash of interest on social media around the incident does not belie this claim.
On the other hand, the American reaction, which resulted in jail terms of up to 20 years, seems to express a righteous wrath. We, as Indians, generally see ideas and actions in a flux, as specks that are unimportant in a gigantic cosmic flow. This often conceals from us the true significance of events. In the Bihar example, most of us seem to be unaffected by the possible harm it might cause to our collective understanding and growth of our children as individuals with potential. In contrast to this are the Americans who seem horrified by the prospect of the havoc cheating by teachers may cause to the national system of education.
However, both seem to ignore the distortion brought to education and its very purposes, and the root cause of it being testing for competition. Neither apathy nor righteous wrath can free education from the grip of competition, testing, and instances of using unfair methods. This atmosphere and character of education is what holds back a child's growth, of autonomy, by limiting understanding to a tiny part of "testable" knowledge, which is grossly inadequate to understand one's situation in the world. It tears apart the coherence of intellectual deliberations, values and actions. It completely destroys the harmony between the intellectual, moral and emotional self; it makes action a random response to the contingency of the moment.
The besieged state of education is what is reducing the child's soul into a battlefield that results in fragmented pieces of the self. The child's aspirations, understanding, moral dispositions and emotions are constantly at war with each other. We are reducing the child into becoming fake copies of what we aspire for rather than helping the child become a master of his or her own soul. One wonders whether cases of student suicides in India and the repeated instances of shooting sprees in American schools are a direct result of this disharmony in the soul created by present day education systems!

Thank you for writing this article, which clarifies your stand towards examinations and assessments.The way you have argued about the role examinations are playing will be taken with a pinch of salt by many people as always :). As many (I think mostly teachers, school Principals and parents) will think that such an understanding of examinations lead to dilution in quality of education, makes learners dull and non performing. (speaking out of my teaching experience).
Examinations and tests I think should be tools only for teachers to assess themselves as to whether they have been successful in teaching the range of subject areas and to what extent. Secondly these could be also a helpful tool for the teachers only to see which student needs how much more support and greater deliberation for a fair amount of learning to take place. Somehow examinations have become an end in themselves as indicators of learning in students as you have described above. A deep disconnect thus seems to exist in the perception of students, teachers as well as parents regarding what is understood as school/ bookish knowledge and the practical/ real life knowledge. The former seems to be required just to pass examinations and the latter seems somehow cannot be seriously obtained through school learning.
And as per people involved in higher decision making regarding school education I guess there are two types of attitudes towards examinations..One is that which takes examinations as indispensable part of education and thus see it as a final outcome of schooling. Another set of attitude is that of trivializing one, where people do not seriously think that any pedagogic activity may it be examination has any serious consequence on the whole education system. I think both these attitudes are problematic as you have rightly pointed out. I wonder if this whole business of assessment of learning through examination can be transformed into assessment of and for teaching first and knowing the learning processes of learners second to provide greater assistance is a feasible idea?? I think it may be acceptable for elementary schooling certainly but when it comes for attributing certain labels of capability, intelligence, good performance and many other such labels this idea of assessment of learning will never be accepted.

Sir ,I am not able to differentiate between Character building which many see as an outcome of Education and the characteristics you mentioned like Autonomy,Integrity and Harmony.I think the 3 factors you mentioned are part of value/character building as far as i have read.I might be wrong.Can you please enlighten me on this?

One of the biggest and most common misconceptions about weight loss is that yoga can play no part in getting you to your ideal weight. People believe that to lose weight they have to survive on lettuce and "feel the burn" 4 – 5 times a week. A huge myth is that burning calories only happens when you're out of breath or breaking a sweat and as you don't have to do either of these things when practicing yoga, it has no place in weight loss.
Many forms of Yoga, including Iyengar, Yin and Intuitive, can be slower paces to suit the person or group practicing. People underestimate the health benefits and how regular practice can contribute to weight loss.
With busy, convenience driven lives, we have never been more out of touch with our bodies. When you practice yoga, you find that you reconnect with yourself and begin to understand what your body needs.
Our bodies are something to look after and treasure, our physical and spiritual health should be at the top of our priority list. Sadly it seldom is and it's only when yoga practice becomes part of your life that your start noticing the things that don't work for you physically. When yoga is part of your life you become more conscious of what you are putting into your body and the signs your body is giving you. For example, people start realising that they feel bloated after eating certain foods and can begin to gauge when they are full during a meal.
You begin to make smarter choices, cutting down on alcohol, eating healthier etc… All the things that lead to successful weight loss.
How is this relevant to weight loss I hear you ask? Have you ever been an emotional eater, overeating through stress or because you are feeling down?
By calming the mind through yoga practice you can reduce the need to emotionally eat. You will be combating any negative emotions you may be feeling through yoga. Eating less leads to weight loss.
Certain yoga poses, such as the plough, cobra and bow poses, are known to stimulate the digestive system and thyroid, encouraging an increase in metabolism. This metabolic increase means that you will burn more calories, often on a par with a burst of sweat inducing cardio exercise. Burning more calories leads to weight loss.
The result of regular yoga practice, is that you get to know yourself, your mind and body. You have the time to focus on what you want you and your life to look like. If that includes a healthier, thinner you, then the additional focus provided by regular yoga practice could be the kick start you need.

Halo Infinite 2022 Roadmap Update Finally Pins Down Oft Delayed Co-Op Campaign
by Brittany Goetting — Monday, April 25, 2022, 11:28 AM EDT
Halo Infinite players have been deeply disappointed by the lack of new game content. 343 Industries has thankfully released an update about what players can expect over the next few months. There is now finally a 2022 Halo Infinite roadmap and it appears that co-op will be available later this year.
The 2022 roadmap includes both definite dates and items as well as goals or targets. The roadmap primarily features items and events from the upcoming Season 2. Unfortunately co-op is one of the few items with a "target date." 343 Industries hopes to release "Campaign Network Co-Op" in late August 2022.
Season 2: Lone Wolves begins on May 3rd and goes until November 7th. The season includes two new maps, Catalyst (Arena) and Breaker (BTB), and three new game modes dubbed "King of the Hill," "Land Grab," and "Last Spartan Standing." There will be a new 100 tier battle pass that offers free armor codes and earnable credits. The "Interference" narrative event will take place between May 3rd and May 16th, while the "Alpha Pack" narrative event will occur between July 19th and August 1st. Fracture: Entrenched will happen during the end of May.
343 Industries has also promised that Campaign Mission replay should be available in late August and the Forge Open Beta will launch in September. According to the developers, "We've successfully had Forge in private flighting with a limited audience for some time, so we've decided to forgo a large-scale formal flighting program and go right to open beta." Their hope is to be able to get Forge tools out to players more quickly.
The roadmap also contains a few hints on what players can expect in Season 3. Season 3 should feature a new battle pass, maps, modes, sandbox items, narrative events, and fracture events. The Forge Open Beta will continue to be available and Campaign Split-Screen Co-Op will officially launch. There are no official release dates or other available information with the exception of its launch date of November 3rd.
Halo Infinite players have been very vocal about their displeasure and 343 Industries have acknowledged these frustrations. Developer Brian Jarrard recently remarked, "We're certainly not happy to be unable to meet player and community expectations, it's a difficult situation that's going to take the team time to work through." The latest update assured players that 343 Industries is "fully committed to making Halo Infinite the best Halo experience ever." It argued that any delays are so that the developers can deliver a better player experience with good quality of life changes and prioritize "team health and getting ourselves into a sustainable development rhythm."

The Labor Department heeded union complaints against greater transparency by moving to rescind financial disclosure rules. This was at the top of the AFL-CIO's "To Do List" for the Obama Administration.
Union officials complain about financial disclosure and transparency requirements. But they have few qualms with imposing those same requirements upon others.
In a January 2009 appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, SEIU President Andy Stern called for greater responsibility, transparency, and accountability – for corporations, of course. Stern even participated in a workshop on restoring trust in corporations while in Davos. He followed up in The Washington Post's online forum (ironically, the topic of discussion was leadership) where he criticized executives for not taking "responsibility." Yet, Stern remains deafeningly silent on demanding the same accountability and transparency for unions.
It is the same "violence" that unions utilize to criticize corporations. They love to make hay out of executive compensation. Unions would not be able to make their case without the financial disclosure data that is required by law and made available to the public. That information is available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website. If sifting through 10-K's is unappealing, try Yahoo! Finance.
Sure would be nice to have the same for union officials, right? According to union officials, it's necessary for corporations to report their financial practices, but it's not acceptable for unions to have to disclose financial (mis)management.
Unions also argued that complying with the transparency requirements is difficult and time consuming. It reminds me of watching OJ try to put on the gloves (He just couldn't do it!).
AFSCME complained that it spends $120,000 to comply with LM-2 disclosure rules, despite the fact that AFSCME reported over $193 million in total receipts in its 2008 LM-2 disclosure. That's just .06 percent of their annual budget.
This feigned outrage pales in comparison to the billions spent every year by corporations. An AMR Research survey showed that companies spent over $32 billion in 2008 on corporate governance, risk management, and compliance. Spending on Sarbanes-Oxley alone totaled $6.2 billion.
Another survey found that the average annual cost for companies with market capitalization over $75 million to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley was $1.7 million. A different survey found that the average cost of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley for companies under $1 billion in annual revenue increased by 171 percent to $2.8 million per year between 2001 and 2006.
Incidentally, unions supported Sarbanes-Oxley, which increased and established new accounting and financial reporting standards for corporations. AFL-CIO leader John Sweeney actually led a union rally near the New York Stock Exchange to denounce "corporate pirates" and call for greater responsibility and transparency to the American public. Both are admirable attributes for corporations, but apparently not good enough for unions to practice.
If billions in costs and mountains of paperwork are good enough for corporate America, is it too much to ask for a modicum of accountablity and transparency from unions?
If you only listened to the unions, you too might conclude that proper disclosure and accountability were Sisyphean tasks. And maybe that's not a surprise with the excuses we've come across in union-submitted comments to the Federal Register advocating for less transparency.
The United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers take home the trophy for best excuse against transparency and disclosure. The union actually suggested that providing additional detailed information "may be too much for the union member to comprehend and may result in misunderstanding." Their conclusion: union members should hear this information in a meeting with officials. They also assert that it's merely a "theory of the Department [of Labor]" that stronger disclosure and transparency requirements will discourage embezzlement and financial mismanagement.
See below the fold for the rest.


"Lituation" takes the lead off the 'Gingo Vibes' EP. ForDapo Tuburna, it represents a state of self-appraisal, gratitude and 'a big mood'. It is a certified party anthem and was produced by award winning producer, Spellz.
"Ajala" and "Feel Free" are vivid representations ofDapo Tuburna, the story teller. With a fresh play on words, and afrobeat rhythms, he and his producer,Quebeat create melodious and memorable sounds on both songs.


I definitely want to make some more breads with stuff in them. I'm particularly intrigued by one with olives/sundried tomatoes. Shall we try it?
I think the no-knead loaf looks great! I don't make bread enough. These all look so yummy that it's inspiring me to make some.

Our 3% Raw Hemp Oil Drops contain 3% CBD (300mg), it could be considered a vital supplement for a raw food diet.
By choosing the unheated, unrefined raw hemp oil, you get the benefits of the hemp plant just as nature intended. Our philosophy is to use plants as near as possible to their natural form, so we created this unique opportunity to consume hemp in a way that preserves the plant's complex structure of over 400 molecules. This formula contains CBD, other cannabinoids in their raw state, plus vital omegas, vitamins and minerals that are normally lost when heated. You'll get all this in one simple oil.
Taking raw hemp oil in liquid form ensures a higher rate of absorption. In effect this means more of the CBD you take is used by the body. Each 3% Hemp Oil bottle contains 300 mg of CBD, from organic certified hemp cultivars free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Not only that we deliver the recommended 1:3 ratio of Omega 3s and 6s - just as you'd find in nature, as well as Vitamin E a natural antioxidant, and other cofactors.


There are statements in this document for which i would find an example useful, that suggests to me that there may be other statements that I understand but others may not, so definitely a need to look at this and provide examples where we can.
I'm not sure I would include the list of macros called by the program. Firstly, this could be quite a lot of work to maintain. Secondly, what about macros within macros? If you are using standard macros this could be a lot of macros and quite complex.
The date proposed for the header, whilst more useful, is less practical, as the header will be completed at the start of production of the program. Consider recording the date the program was started to be written.
Not sure that I understand why maintaining first level macro calls would be a problem? As for nesting of macros, I would generally discourage this, but expect these to be in the header of the calling macro. I wouldn't expect nested macros to be mentioned in the header of the main program.
Suggestion: for "in-line comments" (i.e. those explaining each data/proc step), it is (in my opinion) useful to use the format of having an asterix as the first character, and a semi-colon to finish the comment. It helps to avoid using /* .... */ for these comments as it causes problems when developing code and commenting out blocks of code at a time.
I would be happy to add this. Note that /* */ style comments are sometimes preferred (in SQL code for example).
I think it would be universally accepted not to have space characters in program / output file names.
Agree, spaces can cause extra work and confusion.
I would propose to change "Do not overwrite existing datasets, use different meaningful names for each temporary dataset." to "Avoid overwriting existing temporary datasets in the SAS WORK library, and ideally use different meaningful names for each temporary dataset. Where existing datasets are overwritten, this should be done with care."
I would propose to change "Separate data steps and procedures with at least one blank line." to "It is normal to separate data steps and procedures with at least one blank line. Exceptions may be where there is a simple proc sort or proc print after a data step".
I would propose to change "End data steps and procedures with run or quit to provide a boundary and allow for independent execution." to "End data steps and procedures with run or quit to provide a boundary and allow for independent execution (except where a data step is followed by a simple proc sort or proc print)."
Disagree. Although this isn't a big issue, there are no downsides to leaving the step boundary in place as far as I can see.
It's not clear what this means: "Split data steps into logical parts." - I think I get the idea but it needs to be stated in a clearer way.
I would propose to change "Put each statement on a separate line." to "Put each statement on a separate line unless it would make the code easier to understand or more readable to have multiple statements on one line."
I would propose to have a standard 2 character indentation, but accept this may be difficult to agree on a multi-company basis.
It's not clear what this means: "Use logical groupings to separate code into blocks."
End of para 1 - "Referenced" is included in the list twice.
Suggest adding "A company-specific naming convention for user defined checks can aid in this, so the specific string can be searched for within the log. Examples of such conventions include "ISSUE:", "USER:", and "ALERT:". Avoid the use of user-generated errors and warnings labeled "NOTE:", "WARNING:" or "ERROR:", as these may make it difficult to find genuine problems when searching the log."
It seems risky to recommend rounding new variables. If the variable is a continuous variable (i.e. calculated lab values LBSTRESN), rounding may increase the variability of the actual data. Raw data should not be rounded (i.e. have their values truncated) - rounding should occur when presenting the summary statistics and results.
Agree with your point here. Cross platform compatibility is important, but maybe this needs further thought?
It would be useful to give examples of what is meant by hard coding.
It may be useful to suggest that the programmer checks if the organization has an SOP to handle hard coding (as is often the case).
We use defensive coding here, but have used Robust Programming in the past. Are these the same thing?

TDR Global Research Mentorship Challenge Contest
Do you have practical ideas for enhancing research mentorship in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs)? The purpose of this contest is to engage people in LMICs to generate particle ideas to improve research mentorship For example, a mentee noted: "Perhaps the most important aspect of the program is the communication with my mentor on a biweekly basis. That was what helped me to keep in focus and never give up." Exceptional ideas will be recognized by the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), and implemented at selected sites.
We often think about research mentorship as a multi-year big process and forget that good mentorship starts with a series of smaller habits. Enhancing research mentorship is a priority for TDR Global, a community of passionate scientists and experts working with TDR to support global research on infectious diseases of poverty. This challenge will identify practices to improve research mentorship in LMIC settings. For example, from a mentee's perspective, how do you prepare for meetings with your research mentor? From a mentor's perspective, how do you guide a mentee in writing her/his first journal paper?
The final deadline for contributions is December 15. TDR Global and SESH Global are the main organizers of this contest, with strong support from TDR regional training centers (RTCs). Guidelines for contributions are described below.
Guideline for contributions

4. Feasibility
After screening for eligibility, all the eligible entries will be pooled together for judging, and additional judges will be needed from different regions.
The deadline of all final entries is December 15
Notifications about final commendations and prizes will be made before the end of December.
The challenge has regional and global prizes. Regional prizes will celebrate excellence from respective TDR RTC regions (Latin America/Caribbean, Africa, Asia). People who are residing in these regions are eligible for a prize from their region. The number of finalists for regional prizes will be determined by RTCs. In terms of the global prize, one individual will be selected from regional finalists and supported to attend the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) Conference in Washington DC in April 2020. All contributions determined to be exceptional by our judging panel will receive a commendation from the TDR Global Challenge Steering Committee, in addition to being shared with TDR Global networks. Regional prizes will include the following:
Latin American and Caribbean:Regional finalists will be recognized by local, national, and regional health organizations such as AMRO (American Regional Office) RTC and PAHO. They will be showcased at training meetings organized by the AMRO RTC and colleagues. Finally, they will receive financial support to present their mentorship idea at a national congress or receive a contribution to implement the idea in the region.
Africa: Regional finalists will be recognized by local, national, and regional health organizations such as AFRO RTC and regional partners. Regional finalists will receive a plaque AND either a laptop computer OR support to attend a regional conference. Finalists will have the option to choose between these two options.
