III. E. Student Alcohol and Other Drug University Expectations
La Salle University is a community that believes the best environment for learning occurs when the community promotes and supports healthy and responsible behavior among its members. Students make their own choices and are ultimately responsible for their behavior. The purpose of the Student Alcohol and Other Drug University Expectations is to promote individual responsibility and advance the goals and expectations central to the university mission. The Student Alcohol and Other Drug University Expectations applies to all student members of the university community and their guests.
La Salle University follows all local, state, and federal laws. Students and student organizations are subject to local, state and federal laws regarding alcohol and drug use, and the university will not protect individuals or groups from law enforcement with respect to drugs and alcohol use or abuse.
In order to avoid the dangerous and possibly fatal effects of alcohol poisoning or overdosing from other drugs, an individual who has passed out or shows other signs of serious effects from alcohol or other drug consumption should immediately be brought to the attention of La Salle Public Safety, Residence Life, Community Development or some other person able to assist or to get assistance. Seeking such help is encouraged by La Salle and the Amnesty Process is included in the expectations listed below.
Federal, State, and City Sanctions Related to the Use, Possession, and Distribution of Alcohol and Drugs
Under Pennsylvania law and the Pennsylvania Crimes and Liquor Codes, a person under 21 years of age commits a summary offense if they attempt to or in actuality (1) purchase, (2) consume, (3) possess, or (4) transport alcohol. Police must notify the parents of a minor charged with violating this law. If convicted, the minor's driver's license will be suspended. A second offense will yield a fine of up to $500.
In addition, any person who intentionally provides alcohol to a minor will be convicted of a misdemeanor in the third degree, for which the fine will be at least $1,000 for the first offense, and $2,500 for any subsequent violations.
The City of Philadelphia prohibits the consumption, carrying, or possession of an open container of alcoholic beverages in the public right-of-way or on private property without the expressed permission of the landowner or tenant. A person who commits a violation may be subject to a fine up to $300, as well as imprisonment for up to ten (10) days, if the fine together with costs, are not paid within ten (10) days.
Federal and state laws prohibit the possession, use, and distribution of illegal drugs. Also, under federal law, anyone who is at least 18 years old and who distributes drugs to anyone under 21 will be imprisoned and/or fined up to twice what is otherwise provided by law, with a minimum prison sentence of one year.
La Salle University Expectations Regarding Student Alcohol and Other Drugs

La Salle University Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process
Student health and safety is a primary concern for the La Salle University community. Students are expected to contact La Salle Public Safety, Residence Life or Community Development when it is believed an individual needs medical attention due to the abuse of alcohol or other drugs including illegal, prescription, over the counter substances. The Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process is designed to provide education rather than discipline when a student voluntarily contacts university personnel (e.g., La Salle Public Safety, an RA/CC or professional staff member in Residence Life or Community Development) or outside emergency services for medical assistance related to alcohol or other drugs. Individuals covered by the Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process are the caller, the person in need of assistance, the host student organization, and any witnesses named in the incident report.
The Director of Student Conduct or their designee will determine whether or not the Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process is applicable for each incident.
Incidents involving sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking shall be covered by the Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process for those students reporting or intervening to prevent harm to a particular student.
Incidents involving other violence or serious student conduct code violations will not apply.
A professional from the Division of Student Affairs will contact the student or the student organization involved in the incident to arrange for a meeting.
There will be no official student conduct process from the university through the Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty Process.
The person who made the call to university personnel may also be asked to attend a meeting with a professional from the Division of Student Affairs.
At the meeting, the incident will be reviewed with the student or student organization to determine an appropriate educational response, which could include participation in an educational group or class, program presentations, counseling intake session, or substance abuse education and/or evaluation. A response may also include parental/ guardian notification of the incident.
If a student or student organization fails to attend the meeting with the professional from the Division of Student Affairs or complete the educational responses following the meeting, the incident will be referred to the Student Conduct Process.

Netflix Accused of Whitewashing Asian Characters in New Show
'The Monkey King' is a retelling of the classic Chinese literary work 'Journey to the West'
By Josiah Hughes
Hollywood's long history of recasting non-white characters with white actors has been a hot-button issue of late, with everything from Ghost in the Shell to Doctor Strange to The Walking Dead. Up next, it looks like Netflix may have to answer for its casting choices.
The streaming service has partnered with ABC and TVNZ to develop The Monkey King. The 10-episode show is an adaptation of Journey to the West, which previously existed as a Japanese television show. Both series are based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West.
The book was written by Ming Dynasty novelist and poet Wu Cheng'en and is counted among the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.
A cast photo from The Monkey King has drawn the ire of online commenters, however, many of whom accuse the show of "whitewashing."
As YOMYOMF points out, the show's cast isn't entirely white. Here's a statement on the main actor's backgrounds:
Now before you call me a race traitor or denier, please hear me out. Checking the background of the characters one of them is a hapa, half Asian – Chai Hansen (who plays the main character of Monkey), Luciane Buchanan, who I am told comes from a Pacific Islander/Maori background (as Tripitaka), Josh Thomson, who I am also told comes from a Maori background (as Piggy) and Emilie Cocquerel, well yeah she is white (playing Sandy). So in essence only one of the main characters is played by a white person and can be considered as "whitewashed"… the others are played by a hapa and actors of colour. In the US, Pacific Islanders are identified with the same "Asian" category with AAPI (Asian American And Pacific Islanders) so I wouldn't scream from the mountain too much I guess. In Australia and NZ and other parts of the world this isn't the case, so I do get what the hoo haa is about.
Either way, that hasn't stopped a chorus of Twitter users to complain about the casting. Read their concerns below.

In the coal mines of turn of the century Russia, a group of unsuspecting workers suddenly and completely without warning they all turn aggressive, violent, and paranoid.
Shortly following the strange and savage incident, a scientist and Grigory Rasputin blow up the mine to conceal all evidence of the incident.
In modern day New York City a Russian diplomat seems to have jumped to his death.
Though it appears to be a suicide, there are some tell tale signs that he was more likely pushed from the window.
The owners of the apartment Leo Sokolov, a retired physics teacher from Russia and his wife, are also missing. FBI agent Sean Reilly is sent to investigate and locate the missing husband and wife.
It becomes pretty clear that Leo Sokolov has been living a double life. As the novel unfolds we discover that Sokolov has ties to what happened in 1916 at the coal mines and we soon learn more about his life and how be became a teacher hiding out in the US.
Meanwhile, Reilly ends up with two dead detectives on his hands at a hotel along with two other dead bodies all shot execution style before they could pull their weapons. After searching the hotel room, they find the name "Sledgehammer" written in Russian on the wall.
The Sledgehammer is a known Russian gangster and there is evidence that this gangster was holding Sokolov's wife in the hotel room. So do all these things have in common? Reilly must figure it all out and find Sokolov before the Seldgehammer, or someone else, find him. Sokolov is the key to unlocking the mystery!
The book alternates between the past and present, In the historic parts of the book we gain insight into the mind of Grigory Rasputin and of course his rise to power.
Misha, Sokolov's grandfather, and Rasputin worked together to develop a device that could influence peoples thoughts and actions in different ways. As the novel progresses the past and the present story lines intertwine and come together in unexpected ways.
What I liked about the novel and the writing style was it was gritty and edgy without being crude and inappropriate. There wasn't an over use of cursing or too much blood and guts, there was a tasteful use of these devices but not so much that it would put readers off.
This wasn't really a spy novel, though there were spies and spooks in the novel, it was more of a historic thriller. I liked how both of the stories merged together in the novel. There were a lot of suspenseful moments and plot twists to keep me interested. It was full of action from the first chapter which I also liked.
I liked Reilly's character, he wasn't perfect and I liked that he was a bit unpredictable. The only thing I didn't like was I didn't feel like I knew enough about him and his back story. There was a side story about his son and some brainwashing that occurred and Reilly is out for revenge on the responsible parties.
I felt a little lost with that plot line. I wasn't sure if this plot was picking up where another book finished or if it was new to this book. Either way I just didn't feel like I knew enough about what was going on and I would have liked to have seen that plot more clearly.
The idea for the story was intriguing and different, not your run of the mill thriller or spy novel. Khoury does his research on both the modern US intelligence and Russian mafia as well as the historic figure Rasputin and Imperial Russia time very very well. He's was very through and presented both time periods in an understandable and exciting fashion.
I did struggle a bit with the explanation of "the machine' and how it worked. It was a little dense and tedious for my taste. Though it's complicated, I think most readers will be able to follow along with the general concept alright though I would have liked it to be more straight forward.
I really enjoyed reading about this period in history. I've said it before and I'm saying it again…this is the year of Russian literature for me. I didn't necessarily plan it that way but it's been really exciting to read a lot of Russian based literature. I don't know very much about Imperial Russia, communist Russia, or the KGB/Russian mafia but I have really learned a lot from the many books I've read this year. After reading this novel in-particular, I really want to read more about Imperial Russia and the Romanov empire etc.
Over all, a nailing biting historic thriller!

This Janitorial Services industry summary is from First Research which also sells a full version of this report.
Companies in this industry clean building interiors, windows, carpets, and upholstery. Major US companies include divisions of companies such as ABM Industries and ServiceMaster, as well as Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System, Jani-King, and Stanley Steemer.
Globally, janitorial and carpet cleaning services companies are more common in industrialized countries. Demand for commercial janitorial services is dependent on extensive infrastructure, while demand for carpet cleaning services relies on a large population of middle class customers. The industry is heavily concentrated in Australia, Canada, Japan, the US, and countries in Western Europe. But demand is growing in developing countries like China and India.
The US janitorial services and carpet cleaning industry consists of about 55,000 janitorial establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) and about 8,000 carpet and upholstery cleaning establishments with combined annual revenue of about $40 billion.
Commercial real estate occupancy drives demand for cleaning services. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing. Large companies have an advantage in serving customers with multiple locations. Small companies can compete effectively in local markets, especially for small business and residential customers. The US janitorial services industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate about 30 percent of revenue.
This Janitorial Services business market research report summary is from IBISWorld which also sells a full version of this report.
The primary markets for the Janitorial Services business are commercial, industrial and government entities that contract with operators to clean their facilities. As a result of the Great Recession, demand from these clients fell as corporate profits diminished and office vacancy rates increased. In 2010, the industry began to rebound and has grown steadily, with revenues reaching $52.1 billion in the five years to 2014.
The Janitorial Services industry will continue to improve with economic conditions lifting demand from businesses and households. Over the five years to 2019, revenues are projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.1% to $57.7 billion. In particular, educational and medical institutions will provide growth opportunities to industry operators as they continue a trend of outsourcing cleaning activities. Further, increases in construction activity and declines in unemployment will bolster revenues from households.
Here is a Janitorial Services Business labor market summary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The median hourly wage for janitors and building cleaners was $10.73 in May 2012. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than the amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $8.08 per hour, and the top 10 percent earned more than $18.17 per hour.
Janitors and building cleaners held about 2.3 million jobs in 2012. About 34 percent were employed in the services to buildings and dwellings industry, and another 14 percent were employed in elementary and secondary schools. The remainder was employed throughout all other industries.
Most janitors and building cleaners work indoors, but some work outdoors part of the time, sweeping walkways, mowing lawns, and shoveling snow. They spend most of the day walking, standing, or bending while cleaning; and sometimes they must move or lift heavy supplies and equipment. As a result, the work may be strenuous on the back, arms, and legs. Some tasks, such as cleaning restrooms and trash areas, can be dirty and unpleasant.
Employment of janitors and building cleaners is projected to grow 12 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Many new jobs are expected in facilities related to health care, as this industry is expected to grow rapidly.

› Global CEOs realistic about growth
Global CEOs realistic about growth in the face of unprecedented headwinds
Global CEOs realistic about growth
55 percent predict cautious revenue growth of less than 2 percent over next 3 years: 4th annual KPMG International survey.
Sabina Kasparova
Head of PR and Communications
KPMG in Russia
Repositioning their business to meet the needs of Millennials is a priority for 38 percent.
Geopolitics hits the boardroom, with territorialism named as top threat to growth.
Half say becoming a victim of a cyber attack is inevitable.
Despite being relatively bullish on the economy at large as well as their overall outlook for their country, optimism from global CEOs is tempered by a healthy dose of realism, with half (55 percent) predicting cautious topline revenue growth for their own business. Half of CEOs (52 percent) say they will need to hit growth targets before hiring new skills. According to the KPMG Global CEO Outlook, they are driving growth against a backdrop of significant demographic shifts, geopolitical volatility and the seemingly inevitable future cyber attack. CEOs are stepping up to the cyber challenge, in particular, with 59 percent saying they feel a personal responsibility for protecting customer data.
"CEOs are harnessing the headwinds of change to steer their organizations to growth," said Bill Thomas, Chairman, KPMG International. "CEOs I'm talking with recognize that geopolitical uncertainty, disruption and cyber threats are their new normal. The best are looking for the opportunities this creates, changing their systems, and in some cases their entire business. It's clear that driving growth in 2018 and beyond will require CEOs to combine resourcefulness and realism in equal measure."
Stepping up to the challenge of an uncertain world
CEOs play an essential role in pivoting their organizations to the consumers of tomorrow in order to seize every opportunity to grow, with four in ten (38 percent) responding that their business requires repositioning to meet the needs of Millennials. There's also a growing sense of inevitability of a cyber breach with nearly half (49 percent) of CEOs saying that becoming the victim of an attack is a case of 'when' and not 'if'. Given the current geopolitical environment, it's perhaps not surprising that a `return to territorialism' was named the number one threat to growth this year.
Driving realistic growth
CEOs are optimistic about the macroeconomic environment; they are confident about global and industry growth prospects (67 and 78 percent, respectively). They're also feeling confident in their individual country growth (74 percent are confident, although this is down 3 percentage points from 2017). But there's a more complex story emerging regarding company growth prospects:
90 percent are confident in their company's growth prospects (up 7 percentage points from 2017).
However, only 37 percent plan to increase headcount by more than 6 percent over the next 3 years (down 10 percentage points).
And 55 percent predict cautious revenue growth of less than 2 percent over the next 3 years.
Making digital a personal crusade
CEOs are embracing the digital agenda like never before and taking personal ownership of data and trust.
71 percent are personally ready to lead a radical organization transformation.
59 percent see protecting customer data as a critical personal responsibility.
Counter to popular opinion, 62 percent expect AI to create more jobs than it destroys.
Putting instinct over facts
With customer demands changing continually, and the technology landscape in a constant state of flux, agility and intuition are critical.
59 percent believe agility is the new currency of business; indicating if they're too slow they will be bankrupt.
More than half (51 percent) are less confident in the accuracy of predictive analytics compared to historic data, and have the highest trust for social media sources over all others.
67 percent admitted they have relied on their own intuition over data-driven insights to make strategic decisions in the past 3 years.
"Data is hugely important, but ultimately CEOs have to make big calls and it's clear that experience and intuition still have a role to play," said Thomas.
Rising cyber threats
The ever-present risk of a cyber security threat is rising on the radar, up from fifth to second place overall this year in terms of risks hampering future growth. Only half (51 percent) of respondents indicated they are well-prepared for a cyber attack, even though over half (55 percent) say that a strong cyber strategy is critical to engender trust with key stakeholders.
Developing markets a focus for growth
Seventy percent say their biggest priority for geographical expansion is emerging markets, with Central/South America noted as the most important region.

"The little wimp thinks he can beat his own father in a fight!" He begins to circle around Wild, ready to lung. His eyes went cold. He was about to fight his son. Not a play fight, a real one blood and all. He let out a low growl. He was ready for this and there was no turning back.
"You judge me? How could you think I would join these fools?" She snarled in Bolt's face, she could see the looks she was being given. "I was saving any leftover food for the harsh weather, but instead get dissed for it!" She had soaked Bolt's face in spit, and then turned towards the pack of wolves nearby. "Get lost. You are my demons, and have chased me for too long." With that, She spotted the small cliff nearby. She had slight chance of surviving but would do it anyway. With that, She turned and grabbed the leaders tail, and flung him and herself over the ledge.
As the wind caught in her lobes, She thought about how much she hated herself. She snarled slightly to herself, and felt alive in the air. Then she found the earth.
Cat got away from the dead whispers and went to Ujurak. "We all need to stick together if we want to stay alive." she whispered. "I have a feeling that won't happen." she tried to change topics. "I never doubted you. I know you wouldn't do anything to betray us. You are like my family. Now the pack is under attack. You have to fight them. You are our only hope. You are the only one who can really fight. Phoenix is injured and Wild is going at it with his dad." she said. "Save our family" Cat nudged her forward. She tried to look as calm and mature as possible, but she was scared. She felt so small in this big wide world. She felt exactly like she did the first day in Sun Blaze. She felt like she didn't belong, that nothing was going right. She felt alone. She hoped it was all just a big nightmare. She will wake up in a happy pack being happy.
He watched Bolt leave with the pup. That should have been him. He still owns her one big time. He made the decision to go with them. For Jessie to see him injured or dead would make her even worse. She wouldn't have Cat either. Cat had gone to help Ujurak. That should have been him too. He realized that they were all helping each other out and he wasn't. All because he wanted to kill his dad. He was going to leave, but he didn't want to make it sound like he was nice. That would ruin his reputation for his pack and his family. "You're not worth it old man! Why should I waste my time on you! I bet the little pup could beat you in a fight!" He turned around and ran after Blake and Jessie.
Warren looked at his son walk away. He was abandoning him again. He had to strike back. He knew he couldn't fight with claws, but his kind of fight was with words. "You're just leaving because you're weak. You've always been that way. I'll let you leave. Go while you still can!" he growled. Nice! Out of any word he could have used, he knew weak was the right one. He has hated that word ever since he knew what it meant. A smile lit his face, but Wild just kept walking. Then he was gone. He walked back to his own pack to take care of the others.
Ujurak listened closely to Cat's wise words, She was young but knew her way. Ujurak lifted her head and her body ached from the hit, but she was better now and as she stood she turned to face the wolves. "Your leader is gone. Leave while you still have for breath."
"I won't leave." Cat says, then changes he mind. "I can't leave" she walks down from the cliff. "Let's go save Karsy and Bolt! I saw them come over here!" She started walking, following Karsy's sent.
Ujurak followed closely behind, these wolves were not going to take her packmates.
Karsy yawned and sat dawn at the den. She looked around the pack smiling. The day was perfect. She nuzzlet her mate "Let's go for a walk".
Cat got up, cracking her back in the process. She smelled something unusual. "Um, Wild!?!" she shouted waking him up knowing he had the best nose.
Wild woke up to screams and shouts. He knew why instantly. "4 new wolves, I think all them them are female and pretty young." he stammers, soon falling back down into the grass. "Not a threat." he sighs, drifting back off.
Fang sees a pack den near by. What should i do? she thought frightned. She was scared that they were going to see her and kept it low. She wanted to turn back, but her legs refused. All she did was stand there and watched them for a while.
"Look there's one of them now!" Cat shouted, kicking wild in the gut to get him back on his feet. "Hey, Welcome to sun Blaze!" she called, surprised she wasn't terrified. "I'm Cat and this is Karsy, Blake, Bolt, Phoenix, Wild, and Ujurak." she said more calmly, baby stepping closer. "You're welcome to stay here if you'd like?"
Wild got up, yet again and gave Cat a dirty look. "Yeah Cat, go on and let another freak show into my life" he muttered just loud enough for the new wolf to hear. He took a second glance at her soft grey pelt. He knew she was young, but not that young. She didn't look more than a year old. "What's a little girl like you doing out here all alone anyways?" he regretted asking because she looked about the same age he did when he ran away. Only, it didn't take her years to find this place. He thought briefly. He thought about going back to sleep, but he knew he would just be woken up again.
Fang looked directly at Wild not thinking of the others. "My parents left me at 11 months because of too many pups." A tear went down her face as she went on. " I have been roaming around the forest ever since." Her face started watering as she thought of that horrible day.
"Sorry." he mocked sarcastically. He watched the tears run down her fur. "Yeah, yeah. Nobody cares about your sob story. Everyone here has had a terrible life up until now. Now stop whining." he said realizing it was harsh, but it was the truth and he knew is the only one who will tell it to her. Then he regretted it and felt bad. "I'm sorry." he said a bit more sincerely. "Come here and get something to eat you look starving." he said, pointing his nose to the day old meat on the other side of the den.
Cat followed her over to the meat. It was starting to smell funky, but she didn't really care. "Sorry about Wild. He has a bit of a temper." she told the new wolf. She found herself always covering for him. She was starting to get used to it. "Wild said there were more of you. " she remembered. "Are you with them?" she asked.
She looked at Cat after she was done eating the meat. "No but a saw a wolf about my age run past when i saw you guys" she replied. Thinking of what could've happened to that wolf gave Fangs the shivers." I want to go find the wolf to make sure it is okay." she said determined.
Midnight was running away from the bears that were chasing her. When she looked back and saw that she had lost them. She stopped near the den and rested for a while.
"Guess you won't be looking that long!" Cat shouts seeing a Black wolf run past. "Was that her?" she asked. She walked over to the flustered female who had run past. "Hi, I'm Cat and this is..." she said stuttering to remember the other wolf's name . "Over there is Wild, Karsy, Blake, Ujurak, Bolt, and Phoenix" she said changing the subject. "Welcome to the sun blaze pack."
"Another one?" Wild asked. "Does this one want to join too?" he walked over to her rolling his eyes. "You look like Bolt if he was a little girl!" he chucked seeing the resemblance.
Hi my name is Midnight and I would love to join.
"Oh yeah my name is Fang. Nice to meet you all." she said as she was watching the black wolf walk over to Cat and Wild. She looks familiar and I dont know why, she thought as she was walking towards them.
"I'll come." said Wild. "No one can handle that much pep at once. I almost liked it better when she was shy!" he chucked to himself, knowing they wouldn't get the joke. Cat glared at him, just the reaction he wanted. "Look there we go! Maybe you aren't all sparkles and joy after all." he didn't even listen for a reply from Cat. "Come on. Are we taking a tour or what?" he started walking to the river.
rp moved to the river for whoever wants to.
"Wow this is so beautiful." Midnight said as she looked around curiously. She could see the blue but green water and the bright green grass and the big rocks. "I have't seen anything like this in my life" she said.
Blake licked Karsy "I will great the new wolves". He wne to the wolves bowing in welcome "Hello and welcome to the pack" said bowing to the young wolves. Blake followed them to the river. He was excited they had some new faces around, called out Bolt also to meet them.
"Ok i migh come with you" said Karsy following her mate and Bolt to the river. She was happy to see new members joining. The Alpha slowly troted after the group to great new members and take them on the long tour around the territory. It was big Wild and Ujurak can also come.
The pup name Tiana was sitting outside of the den. Rolling around on the ground enjoying the sun on her fur.
Karsy stops by and looks at the pup "Hello, are you alone?' askes with a sweet voise to not scare the pup. She sits dawn next to the pup, the others will wait they will great other new members. "What's your name i'm Karsy" countinues with the sweet voise.
Tiana stays on her back and looks up the wolf. My name is Tiana and yes I'm alone. She moves her eyes to look at the ground.
Karsy smiles at the pup "Youre not now. " she says looking the diarection of the rver where the pack was. She sat next to Tiana.

Bambuser, the live-streaming smartphone app, has announced it will be offering its premium service for free to citizen journalists and activists.
Their premium usage tier usually starts at €99 per month and can cost up to €499 per month. The new premium for citizen journalists will offer unlimited hours of streaming, unlimited storage and an ad-free player. There is also an option to allow Associated Press to make footage available to their media outlets.
At Bambuser we truly believe in free speech and democracy. Over the past years we've seen more and more activists and citizen journalists use Bambuser to broadcast real-time information about activities and events when they happen. We think that user generated content broadens the overall picture of what's actually going on, and is needed to complement professional news reporting.
When traditional media has little or no possibilities to have journalists on site, user generated live streams are essential.
We don't believe ads combined with protests, demonstrations and war-like situations are proper. We know ads are also an issue for the broadcaster as he/she wants the cleanest possible video out. To us, these people are important users and if we can help them to a better total experience in what they're doing we're very satisfied.
Bambuser has been used heavily by citizen journalists and activists around the world and came to prominence during the Arab Spring last year. Since then it has been used to monitor the parliamentary elections in Egypt and cover the Occupy Wall Street movement. After footage from the violence in Homs was used by broadcasters around the world the Syrian government blocked the service on its 3G mobile networks.
Citizen journalists and activists can apply for the premium account by emailing info@bambuser.com with their username and a brief description of what they do.

CNN this week unveiled its new iReport site which, according to a blog post about the changes, will offer greater personalisation, an enhanced community through "groups" and a "favourite button".
iReport is CNN's platform for user-generated content, where non-journalists submit video stories, the best of which are broadcast on the news channel.
The update comes five years after iReport was launched and, according to CNN's post, now has a community of "nearly a million people".
Last month at news:rewired – connected journalism, CNN digital producer Dominique van Heerden shared some interesting statistics on iReport, such as that CNN had published 912,000 iReports since its launch, with 15,000 iReports published on average every month and 2.4 million unique users in June 2011.
In an article on the new version iReport, lostremote's Natan Edelsburg said the aim was "to create the largest 'social network for news,' according to Lila King, participation director at CNN".

On the 18th of august, after a five hour drive and two hour wait in the border, we finally arrived in Kosovo. After an exciting night and an interesting cultural tour of Pristina, we set off to our new home for two weeks in Gracanica. In Gracanica we met the Gaia team, who work closely with the Roma community and also focus on living sustainably. On the first day we found out that we would be living with other international people who were volunteering in a work camp organised by Gaia.
Our daily schedule in Kosovo was very different from the one we had in Novi Sad, Serbia. The team felt that the morning rituals were more relaxing and flexible which resulted in fresh start of the day. Every day we had two people from the World at Play team and the work camp cooking amazing food and loads of coffee for everyone. In the morning everyone woke up to the sound of roosters and the excited screams from the children at the gate. Every step we took to our morning sessions increased the number of children following! Before starting the every volunteer would be given a new hairstyle, give a piggyback, and receive many smiles and warm hugs. After two hours of highly competitive and energetic games, led by the WAP team and supported by the work camp, the way back was a horse race between teams of volunteers and children. After the session, the cooking team would welcome us with a warm, traditional and delicious lunch. In the afternoon, we went to another organisation called The Ideas Partnership. Here, we worked with Roma Ashkale children. During our sessions in Ideas Partnership, we were supported by people from the work camp and Gaia, who were very eager to learn about the Roma Ashkale community. Everyday we took two to three children from Mahala in our van to the Ideas partnership, which was already an adventure for them, since they rarely travel. The team found that bringing these children to the Ideas partnership, was a very fruitful experience, because they had the chance to meet and mix with different children and old friends.
Coming back from the afternoon session, the team joined the art and craft session in the Imaginatorium organized by the work camp. The Imaginatorium, called scholla by the children, is a big room used for different workshops, such as sewing, drawing, English lessons, origami, making dream catchers and more. The Imaginatorium allowed every volunteer to show something from their own culture, exposing the children to cultural differences.
During our time in Kosovo, we attended two national events; Eid and Slava. During Eid (national holiday for Muslims) we were invited by a Roma family to their house and were supplied with sweets, drinks and conversations. By the time we finished our sweets half of the team's hair was braided and the other half was playing puppets for the little girls. For the second national holiday, we went to the local monastery with some of the children and the whole volunteering team. The monastery was crowded with local people who came to see traditional dancing, then after we went for nice drink in the pub. The team felt that the two weeks at Gaia and that the cooperation between the two teams was very good. We bonded really quickly, and enjoyed many fun activities together, such as bonfires, karaoke nights and historical tours. During our stay with Gaia, we learned not only about the Roma community, but also about sustainable living.
We will miss you so much and we are sure to be able to proceed with all the good you're doing.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 427, adopted on May 3, 1978, after considering a letter by the Secretary-General, the council decided to increase the strength of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) from 4,000 to 6,000 troops.

While noting that some Israeli troops had withdrawn from Lebanon, it asked Israel to complete its withdrawal without further delay. The resolution went on to condemn all attacks by both parties on the UNIFIL peacekeeping force and demanded respect for the force. The decision came in the aftermath of the 1978 South Lebanon conflict during Lebanese Civil War.

The resolution was adopted by 12 votes to none; Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union abstained while the People's Republic of China did not participate in voting.

The Ukraine had the highest increase of measles cases between 2017 and 2018 with a total of 30 338, while Brazil hadn't had any cases reported in 2017 but surged to a total of 10 262 in 2018. The UN urges parents to vaccinate their children. "Lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow," they say.
This just in: 98 countries around the globe reported a rise in measles cases in 2018. Several of these countries had previously completely eradicated the life-threatening disease, but it reared its ugly head again.
Henrietta Fore, UNICEF's executive director explains in their detailed report, "Lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow."
Is measles really that serious?
While measles can look a lot like chicken pox at first, the disease is highly contagious – more so than Ebola, tuberculosis or influenza, reports Unicef – and can be contracted by someone up to two hours after an infected person has left the room. It spreads quite easily, especially to the vulnerable like those babies who are still too young to be vaccinated.
The disease is airborn and infects the respiratory tract, and while symptoms may include a fever, rash, mouth ulcers and a runny nose at first, the disease can lead to serious complications in the form of encephalitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and in extreme cases, permanent mental and physical disabilities and even death.
Read more here: Is measles really that serious?
Here's a map of countries that have seen the biggest spikes in incidents in measles recently. Note that the figures refer to the amount of increases, not the total figures. Yes, frightening.
The Ukraine, Philippines and Brazil had the largest increases in measles cases between 2017 and 2018. The Ukraine led with 30 338 cases reported at the time of the survey, although their government has since published an update that in the first two months of 2019 alone, they recorded an additional 24 042 cases!
Significantly, the Philippines was the second highest with an increase of 13 192 cases between 2017 and 2018, and so far this year they reported 12 736 more cases and 203 deaths.
The report also included countries that hadn't had any reported cases in 2017, but suddenly saw soaring numbers in 2018. The most notable was Brazil, with 10 262 cases, up from zero.
According to the clip, measles has an infection rate of 90% for anyone exposed and not immunised, and almost 30% of children under 5 years who contract measles will have to be hospitalised. If a child was vaccinated, they'd be 95% protected.
One mom says, "It's their lives on the line, honestly, if they're not vaccinated and something like this happens then, what am I going to do to save them?"
The evident solution to the life-threatening disease? Vaccinate. your. kids.
CBS This Morning further reports that 18 US states, including Washington, allow parents to choose whether they want to abstain from vaccinations due to moral or personal beliefs. But Washington state has just introduced legislation that scraps the personal belief exemption, but is coming up against anti-vaxx parents who say this infringes on their freedom.
With an anti-vaxx movement that has only grown with the spread of misinformation – in large part due to everyone having an unfiltered voice on social media and being able to spend money on Facebook and Google campaigns to target new parents specifically – more and more people are choosing not to vaccinate their children.
The so-called "facts" the anti-vaxx movement is promoting in defence are false and not based on clinical research. The old link with the MMR vaccine and autism has been debunked over and over again. And some of the biggest antivax prophets have built quite a lucrative business on fear-mongering and spreading disinformation.
While South African parents have the freedom to choose whether or not they'd like to vaccinate, by not doing so they're putting others at risk, particularly the immuno-compromised. This includes malnourished children, those with TB and HIV, as well as babies who are too young to get vaccinated yet.
"It's one thing to protect your own freedom, it's another to infringe on other people's health."
So while it is a sensitive topic, and we must protect everyone's rights, we now need to refer back to the numbers that we certainly cannot ignore. And if it shows anything, it's just how disastrous the consequences of not vaccinating can be, even in parts of the U.S. where cases haven't been reported in decades but which are now seeing new outbreaks.
Fore concludes, "Almost all of these cases are preventable, and yet children are getting infected even in places where there is simply no excuse.
Here are South Africa's vaccination schedules on the state and private programmes.
MMR immunisation is the safest way to protect children against measles, mumps and rubella.
Over 500 million doses of MMR have been used in 90 countries around the world since the 1970s.
According to The World Health Organization, MMR is a highly effective vaccine with an outstanding safety record.
No country in the world recommends giving MMR vaccine as three separate injections.
Children who are not immunised with MMR increase the chance that others will get the diseases.
Evidence proves that MMR vaccine does not cause autism or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are now numerous studies that do not support a link between autism and IBD and the MMR vaccine.

Shinobi No Ittoki Episode 12: Season Finale! Release Date & More
In line with a final release date for this week is Shinobi No Ittoki Episode 12. And fans will be delighted to know that there is no break for this one. But the saddening part is that this is the final episode of the first season. This only means that the episode shall be a blasting outing for the fans. It was seen in the last episode that Core and his subordinates were leaving the Iga clan. And it is the duty of Ittoki to stop them from this. So, here is all you need to know about the episode.
In the following episode, fans will get to know that there is a lot of drama within the Iga clan. Core is on the verge of leaving everything. But departures don't come early. Ittoki's take on all of this will come to the screens.
Shinobi No Ittoki Episode 12: What Will Happen Next?
The plot details of the new episode suggest that the title of the new one will be "Ittoki The Ninja." There is no doubt with the fact that the story has a long way to go. The end of the show is not coming with the season finale. But Ittoki's shining moment will come along in Shinobi No Ittoki Episode 12. It was seen that Core was leaving the Iga clan seeking reasons that were not understandable.
And the main character had said in the last one that he was not willing to participate in any activities concerning fights. Thus, it will be interesting to see if he is going to fight this madness in the final episode or not. Will this be the last time that we see the risen hero in the first season?
The title of Shinobi No Ittoki Episode 11 was "The Path With no Regrets." The episode started with Ittoki making the decision that he was going to talk to Koga. He was in no mood to compromise. He wanted to stop the usage of Core for military purposes. Kidou planned a second attack that might help them alter the peace treaty. Kirei also made the confession that she was working for Sazuku.
Kozo wanted Ittoki to fight in this. But the boy refused to take part in any violent activity. As a result of this, Reiha had to take part in this. The latter part of the episode saw that Reiha was working on the orders of Kidou. In the end, we find that Core, along with Tokisada and Kousetsu, was leaving the Iga clan after the poisoning incident.

The Anand Voyage with Dr.Sania A.
Today I would like to share a small story that I was told by my Father as I was growing up and recently came across a pathway in life that made me remember the story.
This story comes from the Hindu epic of the Mahabharata. This story is about the Pandava Brother's. The five brother's known as Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva.
The Pandava brother's were known as warriors. One day, their Archery Guru (Teacher) had a tied a wooden fish to a tree branch over some water. The Guru had told the Pandava Brother's that they must a aim at the Fish's eye with their bow and arrow but by only looking at the Fish's reflection from the water.
The eldest brother Yudhisthira goes first, before aiming with his bow and Arrow the Guru stopped him and asked him "Son what do you see?" Yudhisthira answers by saying " I see the Sky, I see the birds and the Fish."
The Guru asked Yudhisthira to go back. The Guru called upon the second son Bhima. Again the Guru asked "Son what do you see?" Bhima answers by saying, " I see the tree, the branches, the leaves and the fish." Once again the Guru told Bhima to step back. At last it was Arjuna's turn.
Arjuna steps forward positions himself with his bow and arrow, and the Guru asks "Son what do you see?" Arjuna responds by saying "The Eye." The Guru quickly tells Arjuna "Shoot my Son, Shoot."
The moral of this story is that the first two brothers were distracted by the other things that they saw in the water; they saw the sky, the birds, the trees the leaves, etc....But Arjuna was not distracted when he looked into the water all he saw was the Fish's Eye and that is how he aimed for his target.
In life often we get distracted by things that don't matter, remember to keep Your Eye on the Fish's Eye and nothing else. We need to stay focused on our goals with a pure consciousness. As my Father always told me and still does, "Sania don't look at anything else, just look at the Eye of the fish, don't admire the fish, if the fish is what you want.!" Thanks Dad!!!
I hope you all enjoyed this story and perhaps some of you already know it!

As price moves up and down on our charts, it encounters "barriers" along the way. If this barrier acts like a floor, keeping price from dropping any lower, it is known in trading terminology as support.
price level acts as resistance on the way up (such as the doji candle which highlights a moment of market indecision on the way up at 1.4848 in the example on the right), then it also has a high probability of acting as support on the way back down (and viceversa).

Will Cousins Unseat Rexy As Backup QB?
Many were shocked when the Redskins used their 4th round pick on a quarterback. Especially after they already traded so many picks to move up to number 2 overall to draft...a quarterback.
Cousins was viewed by many as a potential starter on the right team, and local commentators went nuts and overreacted after the draft about there already being a "quarterback controversy". Hyperbole aside, the only real quarterback controversy heading into training camp regards former starter Rex Grossman being the back up vs. newly drafted Cousins.
An argument can be made for both sides. On the one hand, you've got Grossman, the veteran QB who's been in the Shanahan system for years as both a starter and back up. On the other hand you've got the 4th round draft pick who lead his collegiate team to a Big 10 championship during his senior year.
While Rexy didn't lead much last year, the Spartan rookie finished his college career as the all-time touchdown pass leader at MSU, and ranked in the top-10 all time in Big 10 completion percentage.
On paper, it would seem like a win-win, but given the reality of RG3 injury concern, this could potentially be one of the most important decisions coach Shanahan makes during this year's training camp.


• Bridge Type: Plate Deck With Truss Section.
• Length: 550 Feet Overall, 171 Longest Span.
• Navigation Channel Width: 121 Feet.
• Height Above Water: 24 Feet.
• Date Built: Opened 1893.
The Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad built the first bridge across the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities area at this location. The bridge opened May 1, 1867. The complete river crossings consists of two spans, this bridge over the main channel of the Mississippi River, and one over the smaller east channel of the Mississippi River. The land between the two river channels is known as Nicollet Island.
The first bridge was an iron truss bridge, with the trains running through the truss span. That bridge was replaced in 1893 with a steel bridge that used the deck plate girder design. That bridge was rebuilt again in 1926. The bridge had to be modified in 1963 to support the 9-foot navigation channel project as the Upper and Lower Saint Anthony Falls Locks & Dams were set to open. Two deck plate spans and a pier were removed and replaced with a Petit style truss span. The bridge was modified once again in 1987 to accommodate the newly built West River Parkway, which passes under the west end of the bridge.
This bridge has gone through a number of owners since 1867. This includes the Saint Paul & Pacific, the Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway, and later the Great Northern Railway. The Great Northern was part of a large merger to become the Burlington Northern, which merged once again to become the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. In addition to being used by a major railroad, several other railroads have trackage rights to this bridge. As a result, one does not need to wait long to see a train cross this structure.
The photo above is a view of the Nicollet Island Railroad Bridge from a vantage point just downriver of the structure. Notice the large pilings and wooden guards that protect the bridge piers from barge strikes.
The photo below was taken from the parking lot located at the very west end of the bridge. An interesting feature of the bridge is that a spur rail line once diverged from the bridge at the midpoint of the river crossing. I have not been able to document when that spur was built, or when it was removed. This spur line allowed trains to have access to the Minneapolis Union Depot, which was located at the site of the current downtown Minneapolis post office, and later, the Great Northern Depot, which was located on the site of the new Federal Reserve building. The Great Northern Depot was demolished in 1978, which leads the author to suspect that the rail spur was removed when the West River Parkway was built in 1986.
The photo above is a view of the northern bridge portal on Nicollet Island. The Warehouse District just west of downtown Minneapolis is located on the far side of the river. The photo below is a slightly different view of the bridge from Nicollet Island.
These two photos are winter views of the Nicollet Island Railroad Bridge. The photo above is from a later March afternoon in 2010. The river is almost glass smooth making for some excellent reflections. This view is looking east from Boom Island. The photo below is a view of the bridge on a very cold winter morning in 2009 as seen from a highway overpass located on Nicollet Island.
These two photos are from the early summer of 2009, whereas the similar photos above were shot in 2005. While the bridge site looks very much the same, there have been changes over the recent years. In the photo above, we see the that one of the parallel tracks has been removed south of the bridge, and the main line crosses from the left side of the right-of-way to the right side. In the photo below, we see that the short bridge segment between the truss span and Nicollet Island, which was a steel girder bridge, has been replaced with a concrete girder span.
These two photos are also from early summer of 2009. Both photos are looking southwest across the main channel span of the Nicollet Island Railroad Bridge. In the photo above, we see that the guard rails, which where located between the two rails of the track on the left, have been removed, while part of the guard rails on the right side track has also been removed. The old brown ballast has been replaced with fresh white ballast. A concrete rib that is part of the new concrete bridge segment can be seen running between the two sets of tracks. Finally, new walkways have been installed on the edges of the first bridge segment.
These two photos are views of the Nicollet Island Railroad Bridge as seen from the nearby Father Louis Hennepin suspension bridge, located 950 feet downstream. The photo above is an overview of the entire river crossing, while the photo below is a close view of the navigation channel span.
