Mukka are the ultimate live band, whisking their audience on a whirlwind journey through deepest Transylvanian melancholy to joyful abandon, whipped up by frenetic Balkan instrumentals. If you can get a bunch of people, who've never met, to join hands and dance themselves crazy in a circle in London, you can do it anywhere. And Mukka have done it everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to the Queen's Concert at Buckingham Palace.
Mukka played to crowds of 5000 supporting 'The Beat' at Glastonbury Festival and at the Trafalgar Square Romany Festival. They entertained the Sheikh of Al' Ain in The United Arab Emirates, The Sultana Of Oman at her UK residence in Surrey, and at the Queen's Jubilee Concerts at Buckingham Palace. They have also appeared at The South Bank's Purcell Room, The Barbican, Meltdown Festival, Coin St Romanian Festival, Spraoi in Waterford Ireland, Refugee Week, and Art Centres throughout the UK.
The late John Peel once described them as "the sensation of Glastonbury" and invited them to record a John Peel Session, opening up their music to a whole new audience. Mukka's third CD 'Life, Life!' combined Dana's Transylvanian ballads with a strong contemporary feel and dancy rhythmic drive. Mukka have re-invented the Romanian doina, a traditional song form in free improvisational style, imbuing it with a fresh rhythmic backing which earned them a credit in Songlines magazine as "the doyens of doina." The album was described as "high-voltage, eminently danceable… clearly has 'FUN' stamped all over it….hey, this is a party!" A sample from Mukka's first album 'Skip Lizard' features on the theme tune to the 'Amazing Adrenalini Brothers' cartoon series (ITV and Cartoon Network).
The band brings together eminent musicians from former Yugoslavia, Russia and Romania, with fresh UK talent from Scottish, Celtic and Jazz backgrounds, and features violins, accordion, flute, traditional percussion and a modern rhythm section. The result is a most exciting example of highly original music, which spans east and west and where new compositions sit alongside reworkings of traditional tunes sourced from all over the Balkans and the Middle East.
Mukka have toured France, Switzerland, The Middle East and Eastern Europe. Besides doing a John Peel session, they have played live on BBC London's Charlie Gillett show, on BBC World Service's 'Outlook' and 'The Ticket' and were interviewed on TV by Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G).


Wander from exciting cities to astonishing scenic beauty via peaceful beaches and the best preserved old towns in Southeast Asia on a tour through this most remarkable of countries. Day 1: Fly overnight to Saigon Depart the UK on your overnight flight to Saigon Day 2: Saigon arrival Arrive in Saigon and make your way to your hotel Saigon is one of the world's truly cosmopolitan cities with a history, culture and style obtained from colonial France, ancient China and the art deco era. Although the city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City in 1975, the government soon realised that the proud 'Saigonese' would never stop calling it Saigon.
Wander from exciting cities to astonishing scenic beauty via peaceful beaches and the best preserved old towns in Southeast Asia on a tour through the most remarkable of countries.
Saigon is one of the world's truly cosmopolitan cities with a history, culture and style obtained from colonial France, ancient China and the art deco era.
Although the city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City in 1975, the government soon realised that the proud 'Saigonese' would never stop calling it Saigon. Now it's accepted that Ho Chi Minh City refers to the greater metropolitan area, while the older and central suburbs are called Saigon.
This morning head to the Cu Chi Tunnels which are located in an area known during the American War in Vietnam as the 'Iron Triangle', on account of the strength of its Communist insurgency. The network, which is several storeys deep in some parts, includes trapdoors, living areas, storage facilities, weapon factories, field hospitals, command centres and kitchens.
In the afternoon, you will begin your sightseeing around Vietnam's largest and busiest city with a visit to the imposing Notre Dame Cathedral, the French-style Central Post Office and the Reunification Palace.
After lunch by your own account you will be transferred to Ben Thanh Market where you can enjoy some bargain hunting!
This morning we will drive to Ben Tre, a southern province located in the Mekong Delta. We will pass lush rice paddies and fruit farms emerging alongside the highway as we leave the city behind.
Explore the Mekong Delta by boat and on foot, visiting markets and observing local riverside life.
Later we continue by road to our hotel in Can Tho city located deep in the Mekong Delta for an overnight stay.
We take a boat trip today from Nink Kieu pier to Cai Rang Floating Markets where everything the local villagers could ever need is on sale. From haircuts and coffins to fruit and vegetables. As we cruise through, each boat we pass has a sample of its produce hanging from a bamboo mast in its bow so that we know what each vendor is selling.
Return to Saigon in the afternoon. Take the rest of the day at leisure to shop for souvenirs, relax or explore the bustling city.
This morning we will transfer to the airport for our flight to Danang. Transfer to the charming town of Hoi An via the Marble Mountains.
Perhaps more than any other place in Vietnam, Hoi An retains the feel of centuries past. In 1999, the town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage listed site for having the most unique architecture in Southeast Asia.
Today we enjoy a walking tour of the narrow and ancient streets of this charming town. We will visit one of Hoi An's oldest homes, built over 200 years ago and still occupied by the descendants of the merchant family that originally built it. We will also visit the traditional Hoi An Market, the Quan Cong Chinese Temple and the Japanese Covered Bridge.
Enjoy a free afternoon to explore the town, shop for souvenirs or relax on the beach.
We leave Hoi An this morning and head north to Hue. This drive will take us over the scenic Hai Van Pass, passing the fishing village of Lang Co, as we enjoy panoramic views of the central coastline.
Hue was the imperial capital of Vietnam from 1802-1945, when the last emperor abdicated the throne, yet even today it is still regarded as the seat of Vietnam's culture and religion.
This afternoon we will visit to the Imperial Citadel and the Forbidden Purple City, which was built only for the Imperial family, concubines and eunuchs.
This morning we will visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Royal Tomb of Minh Mang. Emperor Minh Mang reigned in the Nguyen Dynasty, the last of the Vietnamese dynasties, from 1820-1840.
Continue by road to Thien Mu Pagoda; the seven-storey tower is built on a hill overlooking the Perfume River and is Hue's oldest and most beautiful pagoda. From the pagoda we take a cruise on the Perfume River before returning to our hotel.
You will then transfer to the airport for your flight to Hanoi.
Upon arrival in to Hanoi, we will be transferred to our hotel. Hanoi is a charming and richly historic city of lakes, shaded boulevards and verdant public parks, with a population of about four million. The city centre is like an architectural museum, with blocks of ochre buildings retaining the air of a provincial French town from the 1930s.
This morning we will explore Ho Chi Minh Quarter for a look at the life of the father of modern Vietnam. First we will visit Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, which sits in Ba Dinh Square and is where Ho Chi Minh first declared independence from French rule in 1945.
In the same complex we will see the Humble House on Stilts, from which 'Uncle Ho' ruled Vietnam until his death in 1969, as well as Ho Chi Minh Museum and the One Pillar Pagoda.
Next we will drive to the serene Temple of Literature, Hanoi's first university dating back to 1070 and a historical centre of learning, now dedicated to Confucian worship.
The rest of the day is free to relax in Hanoi, shop for souvenirs or simply enjoy the local cafe culture and watch the world pass by.
This morning we drive to the area that is regarded as the 'Jewel in the Crown of Vietnam', Halong Bay.
Upon arrival in Halong Bay, we board our boat for a cruise around the 3,000 islets that rise from the clear emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Bizarre rock sculptures jutting dramatically from the sea and numerous grottoes have created an enchanted, timeless world; the sails of the junk boats and sampans add further to the scenic beauty.
Enjoy a seafood lunch on board before we set sail. We cruise around the bay this afternoon stopping to explore fascinating caves and to enjoy a swim at one of the beaches. Dinner will be served on board while watching the sun set over the bay. The remainder of the night is ours to relax on board the anchored junk boat.
Please note that our itinerary in Halong Bay is subject to change due to local conditions.
One of the most special experiences for travellers in Vietnam is to watch the sun rise over Halong Bay. If you are up early enough you can watch this spectacular and peaceful scene. After our breakfast we continue cruising through the bay.
We enjoy a late lunch on board before arriving at the wharf around midday and travelling back to Hanoi.
This morning is at leisure enabling us the chance to grab that last bargain in the Old Quarter or take a stroll around the lakes and boulevards to soak up the colonial and romantic atmosphere that is Hanoi. Meet your driver to transfer to the airport.

SAINT JOHN, N.B. – By the end of the day, Mike Doyle was expecting at least two Marathon by the Sea events to be sold out.
Between Friday night's "Into the Night" 5K, and the Port City Challenges, he said things were getting full.
Another jam-packed schedule of activities will take place in Saint John, N.B. this weekend for the annual Marathon by the Sea on Aug. 11-13.
The challenge includes both the Friday night 5K, the Saturday morning "Angry Scotsman" 5K, and either of Sunday's three races – the quarter marathon, half marathon or full marathon.
Formerly the Harbour Passage 5K, the Angry Scotsman 5K will challenge runners to finish ahead of Angus, the – you guessed it – angry Scotsman who will be as colourful with his language as he is with the tam and tartan he will be wearing.
"Serious Sunday" is the quarter, half and full marathons, all of which start at 8 a.m., and all of which will see some course changes this year.
The only real difference to the quarter marathon route will see runners exiting Harbour Bridge at the city centre exit, with 1K downhill from there to the finish line, instead of its previous exit at Harbour Passage.
The bigger changes will be to the full and half routes, which Doyle believes will now be more runner-friendly with less vehicular traffic and less hilly terrain. Whether Sunday's runners agree, remains to be seen.
"I'm anxious to see what come across for finishing times, because I find it extremely easy, compared to what we used to offer," he said.
For marathon advice from those who have been successful at Marathon by the Sea in the past, visit here .
Other events this weekend will include Saturday's kids' run at 11 a.m., and the Wag 'n Wheel 4K, a new Saturday event designed for parents, kids, dogs and pups, scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
Other added attractions for Marathon by the Sea participants this year will be the Southern New Brunswick Running Challenge, a partnership with the St. Andrews Father's Day 5 Miler and the Across Town for Crosswinds event in Sussex that will see runners who took part in all three events receive a special medal. The similar Bay of Fundy Running Challenge is also offered to those who took part in the Bay of Fundy International Marathon.
With weather forecasts looking promising, Doyle said he is looking forward to another great event weekend, from Aug. 11-13.

The basic and most important strategy in achieving legal outcomes for clients, is listening.
In the consultation process, not only does the client decide whether the lawyer sitting across the table is right for them and their particular legal needs, but the lawyer has the ethical obligation to also analyze and convey whether their experience, knowledge and style will fit the client's expressed needs. Client satisfaction can only occur where there is that meeting of the minds: a clear understanding of the legal objectives, and agreement as to the strategy by which those objectives will be met. We strive for comprehensive client satisfaction.
You deserve respect. If you feel that anyone is talking down to you, or doesn't have time to really listen carefully, it will affect what you say and how you say it. Mutual respect should be taken for granted, and should be evident in all interactions at all times.
You are the most important source of information in your case. The level of information provided by you can directly impact how successful an outcome may be, or how expensive a process might become.
You own your case. Our experience and stellar work product make up the motions, pleadings and other technical necessities of achieving your legal objective. But at all times, and in all matters, it is YOU, the client, who direct the action. It is our job to ensure that you have real and complete understanding of all of your legal options, and in providing you that foundation, YOU are empowered to make decisions and accomplish your goals.
You have a choice. If you don't have a "good feeling" about how you are heard, what you hear, or strategies to explore, remember to get referrals, do your homework, and trust your instinct. In an unfamiliar and complex arena, such as the legal system, and when the matters at stake are either sensitive business concerns, or the transition of your family structure, you must feel confident in the person representing your legal interests. It is only with that confidence that you will you have the most efficient and effective opportunity of discovering, in partnership with your attorney, the best strategy in accomplishing your legal goals. The cornerstone to that confidence is feeling respected and heard.
and communication, we will earn, and keep, your respect.

Q: Estimating curvature of oscillatory curve based on global constraints I have a heuristic question about using global constraints of a problem to make estimates of local features of a curve, such as its curvature.
Consider a suitably well behaved function on $\mathbb{R}$, denoted $f(x,t)$, where $t\in \mathbb{R}^+$ denotes time. Now, $f(x,t)$ is oscillatory and decays in a suitable fashion as $x\to \pm \infty$. Due to symmetries of the problem, I know that the number of waves (in this context I believe it's the same as saying number of zero crossings) of the function remains constant with respect to time.
Quantitatively this is the statement that
$\frac{d N(t)}{dt} \equiv \frac{d}{dt} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |f(x,t)|^2 \ dx =0$.
Next, by exploiting other conservation laws, I know that the variance of the signal goes to zero, i.e.
$V(t)  = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} (x-\bar{x})^2 |f(x,t)|^2 \ dx \to 0 $
in $t$ finite, where
$\bar{x} = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x |f(x,t)|^2\ dx$.
Now, I want to make a quantitative statement about the magnitude of the curvature, which for a graph is defined as
$\kappa = \frac{|f''|}{(1+f'^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$,
where primes $'$ denote differentiation with respect to x.
My question is, how can I use the information I have about $V(t)$, as well as $N(t)$, to make a statement about the local curvature of $f(x,t)$? Naively, it seems easy to see that as $V(t)$ goes to 0, the curvature must get large, as the number of oscillations stays fixed, but exactly how to quantify this is beyond me.
Any insights are appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

A: I don't understand why you think $\int |f|^2$ is related to the number of zero crossing, but perhaps this does not matter. There is no way to bound the curvature from above based on the information given: integrals involving $f$ do not control the derivatives of $f$. To give a lower bound for the curvature, you can argue as follows. Suppose $\kappa\le 1/R$ around $\bar x$. Pick a point $x_0$ near $\bar x$ where $|f|$ is large and attains its maximum (such a point exists because $|f|$ is tightly localized). Let's assume $f(x_0)>0$ to simplify writing. By the curvature assumption, the graph of  $f $ lies above a circle of radius $R$ that is tangent to the graph from below. In a formula, $$f(x)\ge f(x_0)+\sqrt{R^2-(x-x_0)^2}-R,\quad |x-x_0|\le R$$
Actually, the simpler bound $f(x)\ge f(x_0) -R$ should be enough. The conclusion will be that the variance of $f$ is at least of order $R^2$. Hence, the curvature is bounded from below by  $C/\sqrt{V}$.
None of this uses the wavy information about $f$. It's possible that knowing some PDE that $f$ satisfies, one could say much more about the curvature.
It's also possible that looking at curvature isn't what you want, and $|f''|$ should be substituted for $\kappa$.

Igor Torkar (eig. Boris Fakin, * 13. Oktober 1913 in Kostanjevica na Krasu, Österreich-Ungarn; † 1. Januar 2004 Ljubljana, Slowenien) war ein slowenischer Schriftsteller, Lyriker, Dramatiker und Publizist.

Leben und Werk
Aus dem slowenischen Küstenland stammend, wuchs Boris Fakin teilweise in Maribor und in Ribnica in Unterkrain auf. Er maturierte in Ljubljana und studierte daselbst am chemischen Institut der Technischen Fakultät. Ideologisch linksstehend, war Fakin bereits als Student politisch aktiv. Unter dem Pseudonym Igor Torkar veröffentlichte er erste Gedichte u. a. in den Zeitschriften Sodobnost und Modra ptica. Während des Krieges im slowenischen Widerstand tätig, fiel Torkar Ende 1943 den Nazis in die Hände und wurde u. a. im Konzentrationslager Dachau interniert. Nach dem Krieg machte er kurzzeitig Karriere im Industrieministerium in Ljubljana, wurde jedoch im April 1948 verhaftet und anschließend im Zuge der sog. Dachauer Prozesse (Dachauski procesi) als angeblicher Gestapospion zu acht Jahren Haft verurteilt. 1952 vorzeitig aus der Haft entlassen und für zwei Jahre mit Berufs- und Publikationsverbot belegt, wurde Torkar 1971 juristisch rehabilitiert. Von 1954 bis zur Pensionierung 1976 unterrichtete er Materialtechnologie an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Ljubljana. Er war Mitglied des Slowenischen Schriftstellerverbands (DSP) und des Slowenischen PEN-Zentrums. Als produktiver und vielgelesener Autor wurde Torkar insgesamt fünfmal für den großen Prešeren-Preis vorgeschlagen, den er allerdings nie erhielt.

In Torkars umfangreichem dichterischem Werk mischt sich intime Lyrik mit Protest und Satire. In seinen frühen Stücken Velika preizkušnja (Die große Prüfung, 1946) und Pisana žoga (Der bunte Ball, 1955) thematisierte Torkar die Traumen des Kriegs und ihre Folgen auf die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen; Pisana žoga wurde auf verschiedenen jugoslawischen Bühnen inszeniert, erschien in Buchform (auch in Übersetzungen) und wurde als Fernsehspiel für den tschechischen und für den slowenischen Rundfunk bearbeitet. In seinen gesellschaftskritischen Stücken Balada o črnem noju (Die Ballade vom schwarzen Vogel Strauß, 1965) und Zlata mladina (Die goldene Jugend, 1970) widmete sich Torkar dem Thema einer desorientierten und von der Elterngeneration im Stich gelassenen Jugend. Torkar zählt auch zu den ersten slowenischen Autoren, die ab den frühen 1960er Jahren Fernsehspiele verfassten.

Seine bedeutenden Romane schrieb Torkar ab den 1970er Jahren. In seinem bekanntesten Werk Umiranje na obroke (1984, dt. Sterben auf Raten, 1991) befasste sich der Autor als einer der ersten Literaten mit den bis zum Tod Titos tabuisierten Dachauer Prozessen, das Buch erlebte 1996 die sechste Auflage, wobei die dritte Auflage mit Stellungnahmen aus einer Umfrage und dokumentarischem Material versehen war. Sein ins Surreale gehender Roman Smrt na počitnicah (1998, dt. Wenn der Tod Ferien macht, 2001) ist ein Roman über die Epoche, die den Autor und seine Generation prägte.

The large intestine, or colon, can develop small finger-like projections that protrude from the colon wall. These are referred to as diverticula. Diverticula are most common in patients over age 50. Material inside the colon, or feces, can become trapped inside the diverticula. This situation can lead to inflammation and irritation of the diverticulum that is referred to as diverticulitis. Many of the elderly will have diverticula in their colon, but only a few will be bothered with diverticulitis. Most physicians agree, a diet LOW in fiber is a contributing factor in the development of diverticulitis. Common symptoms of diverticulitis include left lower quadrant abdominal pain (the opposite side from the appendix), nausea, vomiting, and fever. Patients with diverticulitis experience constipation, or even pass bright red blood in their bowel movements. Evaluation will include history (for previous diverticular disease) and physical examination. Many times, the diagnosis can be made by the finding of left lower quadrant abdominal tenderness to palpation and fever. Blood tests, including the complete blood count, will show elevation of the white blood cells that is seen with most infectious or inflammatory conditions. X-rays of the abdomen can help rule out intestinal obstruction or perforation of the intestine, both of which can be easily determined by their characteristic appearance on the abdominal x-rays. Treatment of mild cases can be accomplished with a clear liquid diet and antibiotics. More serious cases involving rectal bleeding, high fever, and vomiting will require IV fluid, hospitalization, and antibiotics. A small percentage of these patients require surgery to correct this problem. The General Surgeon or the Gastroenterologist are experts in the management of this patient.
Increasing your dietary fiber can reduce the occurrence of diverticulitis, and may also have a role in reducing your risk of colon cancer.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Sixteen years after he was first elected, voters have chosen to keep incumbent Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer in office for another term, unofficial results show.
As of 8:05 p.m. Tuesday, Dyer had 72 percent of the vote with 14,761 votes.
Dyer defeated two challengers, Orlando Commissioner Samuel Ings and U.S. Navy veteran and businesswoman Aretha Simons, in Tuesday's election to keep his position.
Prior to Election Day, all three candidates sat down with News 6 anchor Justin Warmoth to discuss why they should lead the City Beautiful. Ings was so passionate about his run for office that he gave up his position on the city commission for a chance to become Orlando's next mayor.

Prior to his reelection Tuesday, Dyer spoke about his record in office.
"People know where I stand on the issues," Dyer said. "They know I do what I say I'm going to do. They know if we say we're going to do it, we actually get it done."
Dyer boasts that under his leadership, the city of Orlando has fostered important partnerships with governments and businesses, become home to thousands of new businesses and jobs and has made it its mission to continue on a path toward 100% renewable energy.
"Under his leadership and through strategic investments, Orlando is one of the nation's fastest-growing cities and our region is the most visited destination in the country, hosting more than 75 million visitors each year," Dyer's campaign website said.
Dyer also boasts of the city's reduced crime rate and reputation as a home for inclusiveness.

After more than a decade in office, Dyer said his passion for serving the City Beautiful is stronger than it has ever been.
"He's proud of what we have accomplished, but knows that with continued partnership and collaboration we can make our future even brighter than our present," Dyer's campaign site said.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is scheduled to give his annual update on the state of downtown.
The 2019 election season is underway in Central Florida, with some counties allowing residents to cast their votes sooner than others.
Orlando mayoral candidates vied for final votes Tuesday.
By 2021, all city of Orlando employees will earn at least $15 per hour.
Early voting begins Monday in the race for Orlando mayor.

Clark brings political, social background to Hudson-Webber
Melanca Clark
correction appended
When Melanca Clark first expressed interest in leading the Hudson-Webber Foundation, there was some question of whether she'd be able to get an interview, given her nontraditional background.
Unlike the heads of most private foundations, Clark hadn't come up through nonprofit channels. Instead, she'd turned her Harvard Law School degree to social justice and political work, a path that took her all the way to the White House.
Now, just less than a year after joining Hudson-Webber, she's bringing her political and social justice background to bear in developing a new strategic plan for the funder, one that could see it taking a new advocacy role on policy issues that impact the quality of life in Detroit and funding, among other things, new approaches to crime intervention in the city.
The strategic plan is expected to be done later this summer.
"Given our scale and scope ... we're not going to program our way out of some of these issues that we're trying to take on," Clark said.
The foundation grants $6 million-$7 million annually to efforts supporting physical revitalization, the arts, economic development and safe communities in the city.
"I would like for us to be thoughtful … and smart about whether there's a policy lever to pull" in all of the foundation's work, she said.
"I'd like to see us lean into investments that support the policy work that can move the needle."
Before joining the foundation last August, Clark served as the White House Domestic Policy Council's senior policy adviser focused on criminal and juvenile justice reform and civil legal aid during the Obama administration, beginning in the spring of 2013.
After a year on the job, Clark, who was pregnant at the time with one of her two children, thought a move to the U.S. Department of Justice as chief of staff of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, would offer a little slower pace. But shortly after she took the role, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., early in August 2014.
Clark worked to devise creative funding strategies and partnerships to advance community policing and police reform and, in connection with the department's Access to Justice Initiative, implemented a strategy to increase legal counsel for homeowners facing foreclosure and working with HUD's International and Philanthropic Affairs Office to engage a group of foundations around opportunities for philanthropic support.
Earlier in her career, Clark led public policy and civil rights initiatives at organizations including the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.
Her career has been aligned with identifying and litigating inequities and policy work around them.
She's viewing the next iteration of Hudson-Webber's work through the same social justice lens.
"The thing that is so exciting about being in this position and particularly coming from the Justice Department where you had a national scope … (is) you can wrap your arms around it. It's so exciting to think we've got these broad portfolios that inform each other. And I'm finally in a place where it's not siloed," Clark said.
In thinking about the foundation's work into the future, Clark said it's unlikely to abandon its place-based work in downtown Detroit and for more than 20 years in what is now Midtown. There's work yet to be done and the recovery is still fragile. The financing gap is creeping down, but it's not yet zero, she said, quoting her husband, Moddie Turay, who was hired as executive vice president of real estate and finance for the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. in December 2015.
At the same time, there are so many more foundations in town than there were even 10 or 20 years ago and a lot of dollars for the types of physical improvements the foundation has funded in the past, Clark said. And the city of Detroit now has an economic development capacity it didn't have before Mike Duggan was elected, giving Hudson-Webber the opportunity to think about expanding its strategy.
"I think that what is most important to me, and I've been talking to the board about this, is how do we get to a place of shared prosperity?"
Beyond an advocacy approach, the new strategic plan is likely to include an increased focus on expanding opportunities for Detroiters, Clark said.
"Part of that, to make sure that we're doing this right, is to also be really explicit about acknowledging that there are racial inequities and structural barriers to opportunity."
On the safety front, last summer Hudson-Webber funded the launch of pilot of the national renowned "ceasefire" violence prevention program targeted at violent criminals, in the city's 12th precinct, in partnership with the Detroit Police Department.
Ceasefire's power lies in its effectiveness in getting groups and gangs to pressure their own members to stop shooting, Clark said. Coordinated community meetings known as "Call-Ins" are held regularly in which agreements are formed between gangs, law enforcement and the community. The agreement establishes harsh consequences from law enforcement to the next group to shoot or kill someone. Community members, faith-based leaders and wrap-around services providers deliver a message focused on resources and support for pursuing constructive alternatives.
Having safe neighborhoods would improve the quality of life for residents in the neighborhoods. At the same time, it would set the stage for business and people from the suburbs to come back into them.
"The most recent push of the foundation was about attracting and retaining new people who come into the city. We can't abandon that because that's vital ... we need the taxbase," Clark said.
In another example of an area that could see new attention from the foundation, Clark believes taxpayers aren't getting the right return for dollars invested in the criminal justice system.
"We are putting people under supervision, which is super expensive, and not putting investments in the system in the right places for us to get the outcomes that presumably we would want," she said.
In Michigan, counties are reimbursed for juvenile services only after juveniles hit the justice system, Clark said.
Research shows the best outcomes in areas such as educational attainment and keeping ex-cons from returning to prison are achieved through early intervention. Offenders are referred to rehabilitative programs by the police on their first, nonviolent offense, not after a string of offenses that put them into the system.
"We've got a policy and funding mechanism that incentivizes programs that pick you up after you've been through all of those things," Clark said.
Perhaps there's a policy lever where legislation could get passed to provide additional state funding before the juvenile is in the system for prevention, she said.
"We would have moved the needle further by working on changing that policy lever than just funding the difference," she said.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated Clark's role at the NAACP. This version is correct.

The Other Girls Kidnapped By Boko Haram In The 2 Years Since #BringBackOurGirls
04/14/2016 11:13 am ET Updated Apr 14, 2016
Over 200 girls were captured from a Nigerian boarding school in April 2014. But the kidnapping spree didn't stop there.
By Charlotte Alfred
Akintunde Akinleye / Reuters
Islamist militant group Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 girls from their boarding school in April 2014. Nigeria's "Bring Back Our Girls" movement has been campaigning for their return ever since.
Every week, we bring you one overlooked aspect of the stories that made news in recent days. You noticed the media forgot all about another story's basic facts? Tweet @TheWorldPost or let us know on our Facebook page.
A young girl strapped with explosives was apprehended in Cameroon last month, one of dozens of children sent by Boko Haram to carry out suicide attacks in the past year.
She had another disturbing claim: she was one of the missing schoolgirls from Chibok, Nigeria.
It was the closest that Nigeria had come to recovering any of some 200 girls kidnapped on April 14, 2014. But the Nigerian military soon determined that she was not actually from Chibok.
She is instead one of the other girls captured by Boko Haram -- the countless number of child captives whose names and stories are unknown outside of their isolated and marginalized communities.
The few details known about her were provided by the Nigerian military: She is 12 years old and was abducted around a year ago by Boko Haram in Bama, Nigeria, a town about 120 miles from Chibok.
"Bama is now deserted -- when those abductions took place, a lot of people were killed and fled," said Aisha Oyebode, the CEO of Nigerian nonprofit Murtala Muhammed Foundation, which is trying to get custody of the girl from the Nigerian military and track down her family.
"We are hoping someone, somewhere knows this girl," she said.
The parents of the Chibok girls had conflicting emotions when a young girl strapped with explosives turned out not to be one of their daughters, as she had claimed.
Human rights groups estimate that some 2,000 people, most of them women and girls, have been kidnapped by Boko Haram since 2009. But there is no comprehensive tally of the disappeared, and some research suggests the total number could be much higher.
The news trickling out of northeast Nigeria makes one thing clear: many, many other girls have been kidnapped since Chibok.
To name a few:
In the month after Chibok, Boko Haram fighters captured around 19 girls after raiding the villages of Wala and Warabe on the outskirts of the militant group's Sambisa Forest hideout. "We have no security here. If the gunmen decide to pick our own girls, nobody can stop them," one of the villagers told Agence France-Presse after the attacks.
That June, gunmen abducted around 60 women and children, some as young as 3 years old, from Kummabza, after holding the Nigerian village hostage for three days, local officials said. The attack "traumatized every one of us," said the local religious leader, the Emir of Kano.
In December 2014, the militants abducted nearly 200 women and children from the village of Gumsuri, just 15 miles down the road from Chibok. News of the mass kidnapping only emerged days later once survivors reached a nearby city, as militants had cut the village's communications. A large number of Gumsuri captives were reportedly freed five months later, but many were killed in the Nigerian military operation.
In March 2015, Boko Haram abducted some 300 schoolchildren and 100 women from Damasak after Nigerian forces recaptured the town, which had been seized by the militant group four months earlier. It was the largest Boko Haram school abduction ever recorded, but was never acknowledged by the Nigerian government.
And so the kidnappings continued, on and on. Despite military progress against Boko Haram in the past year, reports of kidnappings have not stopped. Just last month, local police told Agence France-Presse that 14 women and two girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram fighters when they were out collecting firewood and fishing near the village of Madagali.
"The Chibok girls are only a tiny percentage of the thousands of children and women abducted by the insurgents," Nnamdi Obasi, the International Crisis Group's Nigeria analyst, wrote this week. "But there have been countless other incidents where unnamed thousands have been abducted, brutalized, sexually violated and shared out as 'wives' to insurgents."
In another disturbing development, women and children have increasingly been deployed as suicide bombers in the last year.

The militant group has increasingly deployed women and children in suicide attacks. Above, wounded women and children are carried by rescuers following suicide attacks in northern Cameroon in January.
Researchers say it's incredibly hard to establish a comprehensive figure of all Boko Haram abductions. Local officials, witnesses and media reports often provide widely varying numbers. Many abductions are not reported at all, in part due to the poor communications infrastructure, and the political and geographic isolation of Nigeria's northeast. On several occasions, parents also said they were too afraid to contradict the government after authorities denied a kidnapping had taken place.
Nigerian authorities are much more keen to make it known when they recover kidnap victims. While they infrequently acknowledge the missing, Nigeria's military regularly reports rescuing hundreds and even thousands of captives from Boko Haram custody.
Part of the reason for the inconsistent figures may also lie in the chaotic nature of the Boko Haram insurgency. In 2014, the group tore through northeast Nigeria, capturing villages and towns, and taking their inhabitants hostage. The armies of Nigeria and its neighbors have retaken much of this territory, but have not been as effective at securing it from further attack. Some areas have reportedly changed hands several times. Much of the population is scattered in camps in the region and in neighboring countries. Tallies of the captured, the missing, the hostages and the dead may get conflated amid the chaos.
But International Crisis Group's Obasi argues that the Nigerian government has a responsibility to establish the fate of its citizens. "Nigeria urgently needs detailed documentation of all those seized over the years – indeed, of all missing persons – and government must accept that it has a responsibility to account for them," he wrote.
Joe Penney / Reuters
There are countless girls whose names are not known who have been abducted since the Chibok kidnapping caught international attention. Here, Cameroonian soldiers tell a young boy to stay back while on patrol in March.
Chibok wasn't the only, or even the largest, Boko Haram kidnapping, but it was unique in certain ways. The girls captured from their dormitories at the Chibok boarding school that night came from communities around the region, many whose own schools had shuttered due to Boko Haram threats and attacks. The school in Chibok had opened specifically so they could take their exams.
The lackluster reaction of former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan to an abduction of such scale prompted outraged Nigerians to take to the streets demanding the government "Bring Back Our Girls." The protests eventually caught international attention, prompting pledges of support.
The Chibok girls became a symbol of even greater problems: for the international community, the necessity of supporting girls' education in the face of religious extremism; for many Nigerians, the government's failure to protect its most vulnerable citizens from Boko Haram.
And the Chibok girls appear to have become a crucial propaganda and bargaining tool for Boko Haram itself, which is reportedly in talks with the government to free the girls in exchange for captured fighters.
"There have been several other abductions, but none is as symbolic and taken as seriously, even by the captors, as those of the Chibok girls," Ahmad Salkida, a Nigerian journalist reported to have strong sources inside Boko Haram, wrote on Twitter. He said Boko Haram regards the Chibok girls and a few dozen others as their "real captives," while the others can be abandoned when under attack. Several women who escaped Boko Haram have reported that the Chibok girls were well-known and given special status among the captives.

A Nigerian soldier looks at the remains of the Chibok school, where the girls were captured, still in ruins this March. The government is reportedly in talks to free the girls, but two years later there is still no sign of them.
The parents of the Chibok girls had conflicting emotions when the girl stopped in Cameroon last month turned out not to be one of their missing children, Oyebode, whose organization works with the families, told The WorldPost.
"It was very, very traumatic for the Chibok parents," she said. "There was both disappointment and relief, as they can still hope that their daughters are not among those being used as suicide bombers."
This week, some parents of the Chibok girls caught sight of their daughters for the first time since 2014, after CNN obtained a "proof of life" video of 15 girls apparently recorded in December.
As the families begin a third year without their daughters, they "get a feeling of sadness, as they count the days and are confronted with the reality of the daughters' absence," Oyebode said.
Beyond Chibok, many other parents in northeast Nigeria are dealing with the same grief.

Stories of award-winning orthopedic care at Kaweah Delta Medical Center.
Charles Cooper, of Exeter, needed a knee replacement. But when he chose Kaweah Delta, his local hospital, he didn't know it was nationally recognized or among the top 10 percent in the nation for orthopedic surgery.
Kaweah Delta was recently recognized by Healthgrades, a leading national online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. For the second consecutive year, the medical center has received the Orthopedic Surgery Excellence Award. "Our partnership with orthopedic surgeons is pointing in the right direction, as this distinction is a benchmark of our department's efforts to continuously improve the quality of care and outcomes of our patients," said Jag Batth, director of Orthopedic Services. "We are appreciative of a reputable agency validating our quality of work, which compares us to other hospitals, indicating the higher standard of care we offer in our region."
Last year, it was determined that Charles would need surgery to improve his limited movement and resume normal activities of daily living. With the assistance of Dr. James Guadagni, one of eight orthopedic surgeons practicing at Kaweah Delta, Charles benefited from the medical center's award-winning orthopedic services. For, Kaweah Delta has received the five-star recipient award from Healthgrades. Reflecting on the whole process, I had a very positive experience and I know others will too, Charles said.
What builds Charles' confidence in Kaweah Delta is the positive outcome and quality services he has consistently received with his surgery and at Therapy Specialists, a division of Kaweah Delta offering physical therapy. "The therapists were really great," Charles said. "They all were very supportive of getting me back to my normal self, and I have."
Benton Duckett, director of Surgical Services at Kaweah Delta, hopes more local residents will discover the scope and quality of surgical services available at Kaweah Delta. "I think if the community knew what we could do here, they wouldn't leave town for many of these surgeries that we do so well," he said. "People want to feel good and, we're here to make that happen. This is a great place to have surgery."
As Kaweah Delta continues to impress patients with the benefits of quality care and advanced technology, they demonstrate to people like Charles that their hometown hospital delivers more than they might expect
Steve "Doc" Blizzard
When you are responsible for directing overall farming operations for Lagomarsino Group, a major agricultural services company producing specialty crops such as cherries, blueberries, wine and table grapes and stonefruit in Tulare County, you have to be able to walk.
But walking had become a problem for Steve "Doc" Blizzard, 70, who in recent years had begun to suffer pain in both knees.
"I could only walk 50-60 yards into the field," said Steve, who retired earlier this year as director of farming for Lagomarsino Group after 18 years in Tulare County. "The amount of walking I could do was becoming shorter, but the pain was getting greater."
Outside of work, Steve loved to hunt and fish, but those activities were also becoming harder with knee pain. "When you are not feeling good you don't want to do anything, so I learned to just sit around the house," Steve said.
Refusing to accept a sedentary lifestyle, Steve visited Dr. Bruce Le, a local orthopedic surgeon about the pain. While they tried cortisone injections, the relief was just temporary. Knee replacement was necessary.
Steve opted for two knee replacements at Kaweah Delta Medical Center; one was replaced in 2013, and the other in 2015. "I did one and the experience was so good I couldn't wait to get the other one done. I was really impressed with the whole program," he said. "I feel like I'm 30-40 years younger."
While Steve has retired, he's back to the outdoor activities he loves - hunting, fishing and swimming, and has no plans to spend retirement sitting at home. But he has planned a move to Texas so he can be closer to family.
"It's like the breaks have come off and now I can go," he said. "Everything in life is just better."
Gary Rosenberger
Gary Rosenberg's mind was made up. Yeah, he was 62, but age and a balky knee wouldn't slow down this long-distance runner, cyclist, and overall fitness fanatic.
Gary's right knee was the problem. Minor surgeries and cortisone injections weren't working. It was harder to run and ride his bike. He thought Visalia orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ian Duncan could help.
"I was hoping he could just clean out the knee again and I'd be on my merry way," Gary said. "But Dr. Duncan showed me the X-rays of my knee. It was bone on bone."
Instead of a total knee replacement, whose long recovery would have separated Gary from his bicycle for months, Dr. Duncan performed a partial knee replacement. A patient exam and x-rays revealed arthritis was localized to one area, so Gary was a good fit, Dr. Duncan said. Three weeks after surgery Gary was back on his bike.
Today, he rides over 400 miles weekly with no pain. Partial knee replacement surgery is just one of the many offerings that make up Kaweah Delta's comprehensive line of orthopedic services.
Megan Taylor, of Hanford, has a reason to cheer again thanks to a successful double shoulder surgery performed by Dr. Bruce Le at Kaweah Delta Medical Center.
Megan, who had been talking, walking and tumbling like a cheerleaders since she was five, was sidelined her sophomore year by a hereditary trait that caused her shoulders to dislocate. But with shoulder surgery behind her, Megan's stronger than ever and ready to cheer again.
"I feel stronger than I did before," said Taylor, who underwent two separate shoulder surgeries to get back to her active life.
Mary Akin
Shoulder and Knee Replacement
When Mary Akin's knee, then shoulder began keeping her from her favorite activities, she looked to Dr. Bruce Le to help.
As a farmer's wife, whose life has been filled with everything from weeding to tying grapes to looking over cattle, Akin couldn't let injuries slow her down.
In December 2010, Dr. Le repaired her rotator cuff with surgery, then in March 2011, he replaced her knee following a meniscus tear.
Although Akin's schedule is not quite as hectic these days due to the passing of her husband, she still feels the need to be in tip-top shape for her work around the house. Thanks to Dr. Le, Akin said her knees work great and is surprised by the range of motion that she has in her arm and shoulder.
"I have no pain, no problems with either knees or shoulder, " Akin said. "I really do feel like I am a miracle and I do believe with all the faith in the world in [Dr. Le]. "

A. AOL has setup a special site with specific information about designing for AOL. It can be found at http://webmaster.info.aol.com.
A. No, you aren't limited to these fonts only. Browsers will try to display your page with the selected font, and if it's not available on their system, the page will be displayed using the default font (Times New Roman). As a designer you can select more than one font for each item. The Browser will simply go down the list, searching for the font on the visitors system. If it can't find it, it will try to use the next font on the list etc. In Frontpage press ALT+Enter and instead of selecting the font from the list, enter it's name and then add a comma plus the name(s) of the font(s) next in line. For example: "Benguait Frisky ATT, Verdana, Arial" will cause the browser to first look for Benguait Frisky ATT, if it's not found, then it will try Verdana, then Arial or else it will chose Times New Roman.
A. Try MEGOPhotos for free photos. One of my favourite resources for Clip Art is FreeGraphics.com.
1.) If you are using fixed width tables, meaning you're specifying specific pixel widths for your tables instead of percentages keep the total width of all the pages on your site to 600 pixels, this ensures that visitors cruising the next using a monitor set to 640 x 480 pixels can view your website without horizontal scrolling.
2.) Stick the the 216 color 'web safe' palette for graphics. Read the What is the Browser Safe Color Palette? article for more information.
3.) Test and retest your site in NS 3, NS 4, IE3 and IE4 or 5. View your site on several different monitors if possible, and use Browsersizer to test your site at different resolutions.
A. It's possible to have the Default page set automatically for visitors using IE5 by having them click on a link. The code is provided in the article Innovative Marketing Ideas. You'll have to provide instructions for visitors using Netscape on your site, there's no automatic way to do it.
A. It really depends on how much you want to pay, how much power you need, and how user friendly you want it to be. You could do it with a couple of CGI Scripts written in PERL, but the best solution would be to use MySQL with persistant CGI on a dedicated server. You could also use Cold Fusion or ASP (Active Server Pages) both which require you to host on an NT server with the right server extensions installed. A host like Virtualscape is what you'll need if you decide to go with Cold Fusion or ASP.
A. Those tabs are merely graphics that link to other pages. Take a look at the source code of the pages that have them (View -> Page Source in Netscape 4, View -> Source in IE 4).Any text editor will help let you do it, all you need is a basic knowledge of HTML which every webmaster should have before embarking on a website design project.
A. The quality of the graphics depends greatly on your artistic ability, the compression on the images and the program used to create them. Go to the Downloads section of this site and take a look at the shareware graphics programs available, and read the reviews of Fireworks and Adobe ImageReady. If you're artistically challenged like me then download a copy of Xara Websyle and you'll be making eye-popping graphics in no time.
A. The answer to that question depends on how much time you are willing to spend on your site, and how frequently the site is updated. If you are going to be updating the site every day, maintaining two copies could become a very time consuming process. On the other hand, if you update the site once a week and just change one or two pages, then maintaining two copies is entirely feasible.
You also have to take your target audience into consideration. If you know for a fact that 90% of your audience has the plugin installed then it's relatively safe to maintain a shockwave flash only site. However if you don't, then you either have to maintain two copies of the site, or just a standard HTML version.
A. The navigation bars that you are referring to are created using Tables, which every webmaster should know inside out in order to create attractive, usable sites. You'll find Table Tutorials on www.htmlgoodies.com and I also recommend that you buy yourself a copy of HTML for Dummies or another HTML for beginners book. You'll be amazed at what's possible with the with the right know-how.
A. The only way to make sure your site can be viewed properly in all browsers is to test and re-test. My recommendation is that you look through the information available at http://www.browsercaps.com/ and http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/ for specific information about different browsers.
