CONAKRY, Guinea—In 2014, the health situation in Guinea was a far cry from today. An outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease revealed the shortcomings of the national health information system (SNIS) in terms of strategy, health information, and use of that information to respond to health issues.
The Bureau of Strategy and Development (BSD) of the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with technical and financial partners, has since produced a unified strategic plan for 2016–2020 and evaluated it at midpoint to see what progress has been made. That report formed the background for solutions, interventions, and recommendations for the country's 2018 operational plan.
Since 2016, and as part of the strategic health plan, Guinea customized and deployed the DHIS 2 electronic platform to manage and access routine health data nationwide, and trained trainers to use the software and to teach other users to analyze, interpret, and link data to improve service provision and to enhance their professional skills and performance. HIS management tools and leadership development strategies support a culture of data-driven decision making, through systematic training support, data review meetings, and information bulletins to inform and advocate for needed change. Now, district level managers have the information to make informed decisions.
What has changed? The components of a robust health information system are in place to coordinate programs. All actors know how to achieve and maintain system functions, while ensuring that routine data will prompt a response when health issues arise. Appropriate tools are available to users and stakeholders. The system has enhanced decision making.
This was achieved in fewer than two years, aided by the commitment of Ministry of Health management and staff, and regional and district teams on the front lines who are now adept at managing health data, and a network of international NGOs and donors. MEASURE Evaluation—funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—is proud to have been a part of the Guinean government's response to reorganize its health information system to serve its citizens.
To celebrate these milestones, a meeting was held in Conakry March 20, and opened by the Deputy Minister of Health and the USAID programs director. Attendees included the USAID health office director, the Minister of Health's top technical advisor, and other officials. All regional directors and many district managers and their data management teams were also present, along with chiefs of party for many implementing partners.
The Minister's advisor closed the meeting by observing that a strong health information system is crosscutting, not relegated to the BSD, but serves all health programs. As the country celebrates this milestone, it has published posters, case studies, and a video outlining what has been done.

Fundamental Morning Wrap: Boston horrors overshadow Golds collapse
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - This mornings institutional research comes on the morning after the horrific events at the Boston marathon yesterday and has been relatively thin in substance. Eyes remain on JPY ahead of the G20, this mornings European data has also been in the spotlight, while yesterday´s Gold collapse has also been in focus.
Danske Bank analysts note that the BoJ´s aggressive monetary easing has got a lot of attention in the media this week ahead of the G20 meeting in Washington. They add, "Yesterday ECB's Mario Draghi also joined the debate saying that the increased stimulus announced by the Bank of Japan is determined by domestic policy considerations and that there is no currency war". Lee Hardman of BTMU believes that the combination of rising global growth concerns which prompted heavy selling of commodities, and apparent terrorist attacks in Boston have triggered a yen short squeeze in USD/JPY. He adds, "The pick up in investor risk sentiment in the near-term has supported traditional safe haven currencies such as the yen. It has caught the market somewhat by surprise following quickly on the heels of the BoJ's shift to more aggressive easing which had intensified investors' bearish outlook for the yen and bullish outlook for riskier assets."
Danske Bank analysts note that Greece has come to an agreement with the Troika over the distribution of the latest EUR2.8 bln aid tranche. Martin van Vliet of ING notes that Eurozone inflation fell to 1.7% despite the rise in the core rate, and states, "With the growing risk that the ECB will undershoot its medium-term target of inflation of just below 2%, the probability of an ECB rate cut arguably is rising. But given Draghi's recent remark that the consensus was for the time being not to look at rates, we are not fully convinced whether the ECB will actually pull the trigger on rates." Carston Brzeski of ING comments on the German ZEW miss, noting that "With anti-euro and a return to the D-Mark ideas finally having a voice in Germany's political arena, chancellor Merkel and her government are most likely to continue their strict stance of conditional integration, rather than easing it."
In response to yesterday's Gold sell off, Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu of UBS ask whether the FX market should be concerned. In conclusion, they believe that the market should not overreact at this stage. They state, "If China's Q4 GDP numbers had not come out this weekend, gold may have suffered a similar decline while AUDUSD would have maintained last week's solid performance." They accept that it is important to watch correlations and if there is convergence between gold, inflation expectations, risk FX and broader commodity indices, it would be a sign that some form of stress is rising. They write, "After all, with central banks having already compressed risk premia so aggressively, the risk/reward in pricing in their collective failure in this endeavour is bound to extremely high." Lee Hardman of BTMU writes, "The sharp sell off in the price of gold, which recorded its largest decline over the last two day in 30 years, has also likely spooked some investors who see it as a potential canary in the coal mine signal for financial stability ahead."
In response to the horrific Boston bombings last night, Danske Bank analysts note that financial markets have responded relatively calmly to what appears to be a terrorist attack which killed three people and injured over 100.
Forex: EUR/USD back to 1.3070/80
The bloc currency left session lows around 1.3030, dragged lower on poor results from the ZEW Survey in Germany, after sudden buying interest lifted the pair to levels short of 1.3090 on Tuesday...
Euro extends its consolidation further
The shared currency remains parked around the mid 1.3000s on Tuesday, clearly searching for a stronger catalyst to break the late dullness. Not even today's miserable results from the German ZEW...

Khanty-Mansiysk Grand Prix R9: Exciting day, no changes on top
It was an amazing 9th round at the FIDE Grand Prix in Khanty-Mansiysk! In the end of the day, two decisive games, two stalemates and no changes on the top of the crosstable.
Evgeny Tomashevsky made a step to reclaiming his spot in the Candidates Tournament by defeating the compatriot Peter Svidler. Still Fabiano Caruana and Hikaru Nakamura hold a big advantage in the GP points.
Anish Giri was also victorious, after Baadur Jobava blundered the key pawn.
With Boris Gelfand pulling a miraculous save against Dmitry Jakovenko, and Caruana missing a win against Sergey Karjakin, the three leaders kept their spots on the top.
Results and pairings are online, visit also the photo gallery and replay the games.
Report by Vladimir Barsky
Two stalemates in one day – I cannot recall anything like this in elite tournaments! Interestingly, in both cases the defenders first created problems for themselves, and then had to desperately (and successfully) look for survival. Chess events in Karjakin-Caruana were also interrupted by two controversial decisions of the arbiters.
This round hasn't changed the situation in the top group, but Evgeny Tomashevsky's victory may affect the overall leaderboard, as he still has chances for the second place in the Grand Prix series.
Giri-Jobava 1-0
At the beginning of the press-conference Anish Giri explained that his opponent has a very broad opening repertoire, plays original variations, and is difficult to prepare for. Baadue Jobava added: "That is because I opt for positions that the computer does not understand."
One may think that such a romantic approach to chess must be praised. The problem, however, is that such positions are rare, and the number is getting smaller and smaller. Besides, a grandmaster armed by a computer engine can find out the truth about practically any position. For the second time in this tournament Jobava went for a dubious 3…Nc6 line in the French, which was surely examined by Giri on the rest day. Consequently, the Dutch grandmaster found an interesting plan associated with an immediate attack on Black's pawn center.
A critical position occurred on the 19th move. Black had a choice between an inferior (but probably holdable) endgame and a very risky middlegame. True to his style, the Georgian grandmaster opted for the latter. White exchanged his queen for two rooks and a pawn. Jobava thought that position is just slightly better for White, but Giri disagreed, saying that White's position is likely winning, but he must be very precise, because one poor move may cost him a game. White had 30 minutes for 15 moves in a complicated position, and the game could go on for a while.
And suddenly it all ended: Black blundered the d5-pawn, which was a core for his counterplay, reaching d4 and d3 in some variations. Disappointed Jobava resigned immediately.
Dominguez-Vachier-Lagrave draw
In a fashionable line of the Najdorf Sicilian Lenier Dominguez prepared a rare 13.Na4 line. A more or less forced line led to a position that looked dangerous for Black. However, after Vachier-Lagrave confidently took a central pawn – 21…Nxe4, which looked extremely risky, we got an impression that the Frenchman analyzed everything at home.
Maxime did not hold onto an extra pawn, and in three moves allowed the opponent to equalize the material. In this case Black could consolidate and develop counterplay on the queenside. Dominguez concluded that he has no chance for any advantage and started repeating moves on the move 26.
Nakamura-Grischuk draw
Nakamura turned to a Gruenfeld sideline already on the 7th move by 7.Qa4+. Black's response 7…Qd7 is also not the most popular, but nevertheless interesting. Nakamura spent a lot of time looking for the most accurate move order, but his initiative gradually evaporated. Clearly, Grischuk was prepared for this variation better.
After 17…Na7 (a very strong move in Hikaru's opinion) Black completely solved opening problems and could even think of something more ambitious. The position was still about equal, but Alexander criticized his decision to trade on d5, as Black would have better practical chances after 24…Rfe8.
Nakamura could play sharper on the 29th move, but he rejected the idea of pushing the d-pawn to d6 and played a safer move instead. After further simplifications the game ended in a draw.
Svidler-Tomashevsky 0-1
Tomashevsky played his pet line of the Ruy Lopez, the one that he used in the 7th round against Giri. He was first to deviate from that game, playing "a slightly riskier" (as he said at the press-conference) 13…Bc6 instead of 13…Bc8.
Svidler's activity on the kingside did not surprise his opponent. A critical position arose after 22…c4. Svidler took the pawn – 23.Bxc4?, expecting 23…Nxc4 24.dxc4 Qa7+ 25.Qd4, but he completely missed the immediate 23…Qa7+! White's king had no good retreat squares, so Svidler had to give away a pawn. After 23.d4 Nd3 24.Bxc4 Nxb2 25.Bxb2 Rxb2 26.Qf3! (pointed out by Tomashevsky; Svidler underestimated his move) White is in order.
Black found several precise moves (25…а3!, 30…f6!) and gradually developed his advantage. Only approaching the control move Evgeny made a slight misstep, but it did not shake the evaluation. Svidler resigned on the 42nd move.
Jakovenko-Gelfand draw
Black was better prepared in a lengthy theoretical line of the Najdorf, and White had to force a draw by perpetual. Suddenly the Israeli grandmaster started to think and finally deviated from the repetition, avoiding a draw. However, that decision brought him a lost position.
"Lapse of reason!" said Gelfand at the press-conference, clearly surprised by his decision. He studied this variation with his second Alexander Huzman, and planned to take a draw, but suddenly changed his mind at the board.
"This is one of the problems of modern chess", added Gelfand. "The first move after deep home analysis is often a blunder."
Despite lengthy thought at the board, Gelfand overlooked 25.Rе4! He wanted to resign on the spot, but forced himself to keep fighting. "It is a miracle I did not lose at once", smiled Boris.
Dmitry Jakovenko got four pawns for the piece, besides, Black's king was very weak. White had many promising options, but there was no forced victory. Only after the time control was passed, Jakovenko found a clear plan of improving his position. Slowly he got a decisive advantage, but Gelfand fought to a bitter end, and his tenacity was rewarded.
On the 48th move Black gave away his last pawn. Dmitry was again under time pressure, and he took the pawn to protect against the check from f3. After that Gelfand sacrificed a knight and then a queen, forcing a stalemate!
Jakovenko: "I forgot about 50…Nd5+. Did not see this idea until Boris sacrificed the g4-pawn. I thought I can avoid taking the knight, and my king eventually escapes from checks. However, 50…Nd5+! forced me to capture the knight, and a draw became inevitable.
Thus, Boris Gelfand first created himself problems, and then heroically solved them.
Karjakin-Caruana draw
This game was a symmetrical English Opening, which often transposes to an endgame with a slight plus for White directly from the opening. In theory Black's chances for a draw are higher than White's chances for a win, but in practice defending such position is very unpleasant, because White can play without risk. One can recall Boris Gelfand beating Peter Leko quite convincingly at the Petrosian Memorial half a year ago. That game proved that trading the dark-squared bishops by 11…Bb4+ 12.Bd2 Bxd2+ 13.Kxd2 is bad for Black, and Caruana played the new main line 11…Bd6.
For a while the events in this game followed a well-known script: White increased pressure, Black defended accurately. Finally, Black solved all the problems, and the game transposed to a drawn bishop endgame. However, suddenly the events started to develop in a highly unusual way!
First White overextended, looking for a non-existing advantage, and Black got practical winning chances.
Then Karjakin claimed a draw due to a threefold repetition. As he admitted later, he made a mistake due to the error in his scoresheet. However, despite the claim being wrong, the Deputy Chief Arbiter accepted it and ruled the game a draw. Both players signed the scoresheet, however, Caruana was still in doubt. The Chief Arbiter Boris Postovsky joined the discussion and overruled the previous ruling. The game went on, to a great surprise for all spectators!
Using multiple zugzwang threats, Black gradually shook the opponent's defense. Karjakin used his best practical chance, transposing to a queen ending with an extra pawn for Black. The tablebases showed that Caruana could mate in 59 moves, but the Italian immediately made a mistake and allowed White's king to join the defense. The game ended on the 85th move with a stalemate!
Standings after round 9:
1-3. Dominguez, Caruana, and Nakamura – all 5.5, 4-6. Gelfand, Karjakin, and Jakovenko – all 5, 7-8. Grischuk and Giri – both 4.5, 9-10. Svidler and Tomashevsky – both 4, 11. Jobava – 3, 12. Vachier-Lagrave – 2.5.

Buyers Moving Farther than Ever Before
Johner Images, Getty Images
People temporarily fled cities during the pandemic, and now that more are officially being offered full-time remote status, they're deciding to become homebuyers.
NEW YORK – Homebuyers who purchased a home in the year that ended in June moved a median of 50 miles from their previous residences, according to a recent National Association of Realtors® (NAR) survey.
It's the highest moving distance on record in annual data that goes back to 2005, and it follows five straight years in which the median distance moved was constant at 15 miles.
Why the change? In part it's the post-pandemic world.
Jessica Lautz, NAR's vice president of research, says the increase in moving distance soared because many employers solidified their in-office requirements. As a result, employees who officially became 100% remote workers were guaranteed the ability to move farther from their offices, and that empowered them to make an offer on a home farther away.
In mid-2021, "people had the freedom and the ability with the low interest rates to say, 'I'm going to make this move now,'" Lautz says.
NAR also found that 48% of home purchases were in small towns and rural areas, a record in data going back to 2003 and up from 32% just one year earlier.
Suburbs are traditionally the most popular destinations for homebuyers, but the share of suburban home purchases dropped to 39% from 51% the prior year. And only 10% of purchases were in urban areas, down from 13% the year before.
The metro area with the highest net migration of homebuyers between March 2020 and February 2022 was Riverside, California, about 50 miles from Los Angeles, according to Freddie Mac. North Port, Florida, about 80 miles from Tampa, also attracted many homebuyers during the period.

Enniskillen fills its animal control position
The temporary appointments Enniskillen Township made last summer in regards to its animal control and shelter services have now become permanent.
Enniskillen Township Council passed a bylaw on Dec. 5, which appoints Jeff Dewhirst as the animal control officer, as well as the Sarnia Humane Society to provide shelter services. These same appointments were made just after the June 30 retirement of Vicki Kyle who provided the same services out of the Glencoe Animal Shelter, for not only Enniskillen Township, but also nine other municipalities including the Township of Warwick and the Town of Petrolia.
The Municipality of Adelaide Metcalfe posted a request for proposals on behalf of itself and the other municipalities to fill the animal control role. Enniskillen Township had until November with anyone who had shown interest in the request for proposals, but in the end decided to continue with Dewhirst and the Sarnia Humane Society.
Dewhirst currently operates an animal control business in Brigden. Enniskillen Township will be paying $90 for each dog that is taken to the Sarnia Humane Society. It is estimated there are less than 10 dogs taken to the shelter from Enniskillen Township each year.

Baltimore ex-prosecutor's perjury trial faces more delays
BALTIMORE (AP) — The federal perjury case against Baltimore's former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, who was scheduled to stand trial in March, likely faces further delays after a judge allowed her entire defense team to quit on Friday. Her six private lawyers had asked to withdraw from the case earlier this month after U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby announced the potential for criminal contempt charges against lead attorney A. Scott Bolden, whom she accused of violating several cour
Review of oilsands cleanup funding program needs public input, says Alberta NDP

NVIDIA has had a massive 2016, and now they're reaping those rewards with Q3 2016 results that have blown analysts expectations away.
Analysts expected NVIDIA to hit $1.69 billion for the three-month period, but the company instead reached $2 billion - quite the difference. NVIDIA's gaming sector saw the biggest increase in revenue, especially compared to last quarter - with NVIDIA posting a huge 63% increase to $1.244 billion for the gaming sector.
Patrick Moorhead from Moor Insights & Strategy said: "NVIDIA had a stellar quarter and the company is hitting on all cylinders. GPUs and Tegra were up a combined 54% YoY driven by huge increases in gaming, datacenter and automotive with steady progress from pro graphics. It's hard to spot a hole right now in their lineup and as self-driving cars and machine learning become more popular, I believe NVIDIA will just keep improving".

Are you planning to update your walls but aren't sure whether to paint or wallpaper? Below you'll find advantages and disadvantages of each option as we discuss cost, selection, durability, installation, and use in rentals.
It is also important to keep in mind that you don't have to pick one or the other. Many well-designed spaces incorporate both paint and wallpaper into their designs. If you are looking to do a feature wall, consider painting your walls and creating one focal wall with a stunning wallpaper design. Checkout some feature wall ideas here.
If you want a very specific color, or would like the option to change colors in the future, you may want to consider paintable wallpaper. With raised details and a myriad of texture effects and designs to choose from, it's the best of both worlds. You can browse hundreds of paintable wallpapers here.
In general, the upfront costs of wallpaper and installation materials can be more expensive than paint. Today however, wallpaper comes in a variety of types and materials, allowing more cost-effective wallpaper designs to be manufactured. Depending on your budget, durability needs, and application method you can find stylish wallpapers in your budget.
Looking for cost effective wallpaper? Check out our Brewster Essentials for $24.99 a roll!
Paint tends to have less upfront costs for both paint and supplies. Depending on the type and finish you need will affect the price of your paint. There are plenty of low cost options for paint if cost is a concern.
Although paint can be lower cost upfront, it does need to be touched up over time, especially in high traffic areas in your home.
Wallpaper comes in a dazzling array of designs and colors, with an incredible selection of beautiful effects like pearlescent finish, glitter, raised inks, suede, gels, beads, foils and metallics, embossed silk textures, and natural grasscloth, just to name a few.
If you are looking for an impressive room or feature wall, you might want to consider designer prints that bring rich colors and textures into a room.
The range of paint colors is nearly limitless. In addition, it is easy to repaint if you want a new color. However, paint has a limited number of finishes within matte to glossy.
If you are looking to create a feature wall, there are some great methods and ideas to do so with paint. However, if you are looking for intricate patterns or bold geometrics on your wall, wallpaper would be an easier alternative.
Wallpaper can last up to 15 years and beyond, which makes it a cost-effective, durable way to decorate your room. It is generally accepted that properly hung wallpaper will last 3 times as long as paint. Wallpaper is a great way to decorate high traffic areas in your home.
Many wallpapers are also "washable", making them easy to clean and maintain over time. Simply double check the "washability" of wallpapers you are looking at when purchasing.
Wallpaper can lift at the seams over time. Should this happen, the areas that are lifting can be reapplied with a small amount of wallpaper adhesive.
A painted room will usually last about 10 years. If the room is in a high traffic area in your home, you will need to occasionally do touch ups or repaint over time.
If you need to touch up paint, you will need to ensure that you get the correct color and finish to match your current color, especially if purchasing a new can of paint.
You can also purchase washable paint for areas that are high traffic and that you would want to clean occasionally.
Wallpaper adheres easily and smoothly to walls, hiding many surface imperfections. This is especially valuable in rooms with damaged walls or older homes. Any larger holes or uneven areas will need to be filled and sanded. Any existing wallpaper will need to be removed before installation.
Instillation can be done by you or a professional. There are a variety of installation methods today that make hanging wallpaper simple and fast! From "paste the paper", "paste the wall", "prepasted" or even "peel and stick" wallpaper, installation has never been easier. Hanging wallpaper still needs to be properly matched when installing.
If you are worried about messy installation, try peel and stick wallpaper! Because it requires no paste, it is easy to install and perfect for a nursery, kids room, and more.

Variety of wallpapers with easy installation methods including "paste the wall", "paste the paper", "prepasted", and "peel and stick"
Paint can be applied in any room after the walls have been properly prepared. If your walls have any damage or imperfections, they will need to be filled, spackled and sanded before you paint. It might take a lot of work for walls with lots of damage or imperfections to prepare. Any existing wallpaper will need to be removed and walls primed before painting as well.
Applying paint is straight forward and can move quickly if you have the right tools. One thing to be cautious of is the odor of fresh paint. Make sure your room is well ventilated, especially if painting a nursery or kids room.
In addition, special care must be taken when painting to lay down drop cloths to keep your floors and surfaces paint free.
Wallpaper is not only perfect for homes, you can also wallpaper your apartment, dorm, rental, or space that you change the decor in frequently!
With peel and stick removable wallpaper, wallpaper has never been more versatile and completely safe to use in rentals, DIY projects, and more.
Check out our extensive collection of peel and stick wallpapers!
Although great for any home, if you are living in an apartment, dorm, or rental, you might not be able to paint your walls.

It's official! Mike London, most recently the Head Coach of the Howard Bison, is now the Head Coach of your William & Mary Tribe. Yes, this is the same Mike London that served at UVA for six seasons, and who won an FCS National Championship with Richmond.
Perhaps most importantly, and as noted in one of our recent articles, London actually served as the William & Mary Defensive Line Coach under Jimmye Laycock from 1991-1994. He knows what it means to coach and recruit at a school like William & Mary. And we're big fans of the hire.
Since his tenure at Howard, Coach London has coached six Bison to All-MEAC honors, including 2017 MEAC Rookie of the Year quarterback Caylin Newton.
London's first season at HU began with the program's first FBS win as the Bison beat UNLV, which according to ESPN, deemed the biggest upset in college football history. Furthermore, Howard finished second in the conference with a 6-2 mark while posting its first winning season since 2012. Furthermore, London was named a finalist for the 31st STATS FCS Eddie Robinson Award after winning the 2017 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Regional Coach of the Year award.
In his first season at the helm in 2017, London led the Bison to a 7-4 (6-2 MEAC) finish, good enough for 2nd in the league. This season, the Bison finished just 4-6, 5th in the MEAC. Regardless, London invigorated a program that had not experienced a winning season since 2012. Like he did at Richmond, London proved that he was able to produce results at the FCS level. And that's something that gets us excited.
Check out London's intro press conference when he got the UVA job. In it, he talks about recruiting student athletes who want both great academics and to compete for championships. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
London [came] to Howard University after serving as an associate head coach/defensive line coach for the University of Maryland Terrapins. Before coaching the Terrapins, he was the head coach at the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond, respectfully for eight seasons. A highly-regarded recruiter, London helped bring in four top-35 classes during his tenure in Charlottesville and brought in two Virginia-bred five-star recruits in 2014 (247Sports). London led Virginia to an 8-5 season in 2011 and was named ACC Coach of the Year.
As the head coach at Richmond (2008-09), London captured 24 wins and led the Spiders to the FCS Championship in his first season. He helped 28 Spiders achieve all-conference honors in just two seasons.
To play devil's advocate for a moment, one could say that London's Richmond tenure has a question mark. Most notably, detractors will say that he inherited an already-strong Richmond team, after previous Richmond Head Coach Dave Clawson left to become the Offensive Coordinator at Tennessee.
London would go on to win a National Championship in his first year with Richmond, before garnering the team an AP Top-25 vote (yes, that includes FBS schools) in his next season. Following that second season, London would sign on as UVA's new Head Coach. However, we just don't buy the argument, which when simplified, is: London only won because he had great players (that he didn't recruit).
The counter to that is to say that perhaps London's greatest attribute as a Head Coach is just that: his ability to recruit. As mentioned above, at UVA, London brought in four top-35 classes, including the acquisition of two Virginia-born five-star recruits. His abilities to recruit at a lowly FBS school like UVA prove that he's certainly capable of recruiting players similar to those that Dave Clawson brought in before leaving for Tennessee.
Beyond recruiting, London's years at Richmond (and Howard) show that he certainly has the coaching ability to maximize talent at the FCS level. Say what you will about his time at UVA — but last I checked, W&M doesn't play in the FBS. So put these two things together, his recruiting abilities, and proven success at the FCS level, and London already has a recipe for success at William & Mary.
London inherits a team with depth, but one that hasn't produced a winning season since 2015. The quarterback situation is unsettled, with multiple players garnering starts over the past two seasons; the position will certainly be an immediate area of focus for London.
Most interesting to us will be what London is able to do with the William & Mary brand name in the world of recruiting. Obviously, the school recruits a high caliber of student-athlete, typically unknown to just about every other D-1 school outside of the Ivy League (and that's not hyperbole).
Having once served as the William & Mary Defensive Line Coach in the early 1990s, London should be well aware of the type of player the program is looking for. And at 58 years old, we're hoping that he's with W&M for the long-haul toward retirement — no immediate jumps to take FBS coaching positions, and we have to assume that was a major requirement for him landing the job.
Similarly, we want to see what Offensive and Defensive Coordinators London brings in, and what philosophies they will implement. Will the team employ a spread, pass-first offense? Or will the team be defensive-minded, and ground-and-pound on offense?
"William & Mary has never employed an African-American head coach in a men's sport." 🤔 Wow. Powerful statement. And one we wouldn't expect. This could change very soon post-Laycock.
Immediately answering these offensive and defensive philosophies is priority #1 for a first-year head coach that will be looking to bring in new recruits to fit his these schematics. Either way, we couldn't be more excited about the London hire. With it, W&M Athletics Director Samantha Huge has shown a clear vision for the athletics program as a whole. It's also an historic hire, as Mike London becomes the first-ever African American Head Coach of a William & Mary men's sport.
It's about time. And we're all for it.
Is it time to start next season yet?

"It the first change we had in 25 years. This is going to be a very important element in the tobacco control tool box, but it not a panacea," Glynn said. "For smokers, it a new and very visible reminder that smoking can harm them, harm people around them, including children. For nonsmokers, it a reminder that smokers need their help and concern as far as quitting. The labels are not just for smokers, the labels are Converse Laces Styles
The tobacco companies are footing the bill for the new labels. But Glynn said with $95 billion a year being spent on tobacco related disease and health problems, it money well spent.
With this new move, the United States will be the 40th country to have picture warnings on our cigarette packs, making the country compliant with the World Health Organization global treaty on tobacco. Under the treaty, 35% of a cigarette pack must have warnings and pictures.
graphic warning labels for cigarette package
said in the FDA statement.
Cigarette packages will now carry one vivid color image and one of these warnings about the consequences of smoking: "Cigarettes are addictive"; "Tobacco smoke can harm your children"; "Cigarettes cause fatal lung disease"; "Cigarettes cause cancer"; "Cigarettes cause strokes and heart disease"; "Smoking during pregnancy can harm your baby"; "Smoking can kill you"; "Tobacco smoke causes fatal lung disease in nonsmokers"; and "Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health."
The new packaging and ads must be in place by September 2012.
Philip Morris, the country largest tobacco company, supported the FSPTCA. But in its letter, the company also raised questions about the constitutionality of the labels.
"It Womens Converse White Low Tops
"The Tobacco Control Act requires FDA to provide current and potential smokers with clear and truthful information about the risks of smoking Converse Dainty Grey Office these warnings do that," Commissioner of Food and Drugs Margaret A. Hamburg Converse White Fashion
Washington (CNN) Nine new graphic cigarette warning labels were unveiled Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration, part of the agency sweeping new powers to regulate tobacco and tobacco products.
The treaty has already been ratified by 173 of 192 member nations of the United Nations. The United States is one of 19 countries that has not ratified the treaty, but with the new labels, will be compliant.
"Any government requirement that compels a private entity to carry a message not of its own choosing raises constitutional concerns . To the extent that FDA were to select warnings based on their ability to evoke negative or cognitive reactions not their ability to objectively inform consumers about the health risks of smoking such warnings would not pass constitutional muster," the company wrote.
The warnings will cover the upper portion of the pack both front and back. Fifty percent of the package must be covered. The warnings must also cover at least 20% of a cigarette ad. Small ads less than 12 inches don have to cover as much, but must still have a warning. Each warning will also have a phone number 1 800 QUIT NOW that smokers can call to get help if they want to quit.
not an expensive intervention," Glynn said. "The cost of putting the pictures on is at the expense of the tobacco industry; there is no cost to the government. So this is not the government spending money, and yet what we are going to gain from it is less death and less disease and that going to save the government money."
Glynn says about 20% of the population still smokes, a number that has been pretty steady over the past five years. He hopes the new labels will jump start a downward trend and re ignite discussions about tobacco use. die from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke annually and more than 8 million are living with a disease that directly tied to smoking. The CDC says smoking is responsible for 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men and 80% in women. It estimates smoking causes 90% of all chronic obstructive lung disease deaths such as bronchitis and emphysema. Reynolds, maker of some the country best selling brands like Camel, Kool, Winston and Salem, said the new requirements violate the First and Fifth Amendments. The company said, in part, "The anti smoking message is not intended to provide information that smokers and potential smokers can consider rationally in weighing the risks and perceived benefits from smoking. Reynolds said "by confiscating" the top 50% of the package and 20% of the ads, the government is not warning consumers about smoking risks it is telling consumers, "Don buy or use this product." The company is asking the FDA to withdraw the new rule, which it says is flawed, and issue a new one.
The move is a result of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), which mandates cigarette packs and advertisements have larger and "more visible graphic health warnings" as part of an effort to educate the public about the health risks associated with smoking.
It said the sheer size of the warnings violates the First Amendment.
"President Obama is committed to protecting our nation children and the American people from the dangers of tobacco use. These labels are frank, honest and powerful depictions of the health risks of smoking and they will help," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an FDA statement. "These labels will encourage smokers to quit and prevent children from smoking. President Obama wants to make tobacco related death and disease part of the nation past, and not our future."
for anyone interested in public health."
Thomas Glynn, director of cancer science and trends for the the American Cancer Society, said the old labels have been virtually invisible because they small and have been around for so long. He said people have become immune and don really "see" them anymore, but the new labels will be hard to ignore and will help focus attention on the problem.

I find the fidelity of most hands-free cellphone headsets abysmal, plus, they only play in one ear, so they are impossible in a noisy environment. Why can't I just plug in my stereo headphones? It turns out I can. This thing is actually meant to let you listen to music and be on the phone at the same time, which is too new a trick for this old dog, but it does let me use my headphones on my cellphone, and the fidelity is quite good.

FYI: Ill App (2d Dist) Holds Mortgagee Could Not Collect Deficiency From Rents Owed to Other Mortgagees
The Appellate Court of Illinois, Second District, recently held that a mortgagee with a foreclosure judgment could not collect on the deficiency against rents from other properties owned by the mortgagor, because the mortgagee's foreclosure judgment was not superior to the prior recorded mortgages for the other properties which contained assignment-of-rent clauses, and the other mortgagees had executed forbearance agreements to enforce those assignment-of-rents clauses.
In 2013, a bank, acting as the assignee of the FDIC ("Foreclosing Bank"), foreclosed on four mortgages on several lots owned by a home builder ("Builder") and, on August 24, 2014, obtained a $1.5 million judgment ("Judgment"). In 2014, in post-judgment proceedings, the Bank sought to obtain information from the Builder to enforce the deficiency judgment.
Over one year later, in 2015, the Foreclosing Bank caused a third-party enforcement proceeding to be issued to a property management company owned by the Builder's wife ("Property Management Company") that managed properties owned by the Builder. Once such a third-party enforcement proceeding is issued, it becomes a lien on the judgment debtor's assets held by the recipient of the proceeding.
The Property Management Company responded that it did not hold any assets belonging to the Builder as it was merely an agent that managed properties and that any rents it collected belonged to the mortgagees for the properties it managed (the "Managed Properties"). Then, three of those mortgagees intervened in the post-judgment proceedings ("Other Mortgagees") and claimed that their interests in the rents for the Managed Properties were superior to the Foreclosing Bank's interest due to the assignment-of-rent provisions in their recorded mortgages and because of the forbearance agreements they had entered into that transmitted rents on those properties directly to the Secured Lenders.
A flurry of motion practice ensued. The Foreclosing Bank argued that the Other Mortgagees first had to obtain actual possession of the properties or constructive possession through a receiver. The trial court rejected that argument and held that the forbearance agreements were enforceable contract modifications that predated the Foreclosure Judgment and the third-party citations and were voluntarily entered into in lieu of foreclosure and/or receivership. Thus, the Builder had contracted away its right to receive rents on those properties and the transmittal of rents to the Other Mortgagees did not violate the restraining component of the third-party citations to discover assets.
The trial court further held that this did not violate the common law rents-and-profit doctrine, which requires actual or constructive possession by a lender by court authorization to prevent a mortgagor or its tenants without resources for maintenance or repair, because the property repair and maintenance and management expenses were deducted from the rents before they were transmitted to the Other Mortgagees. The parties filed motions for reconsideration and clarification and, after the trial court issued its ruling that affirmed its previous holding, the Foreclosing Bank filed this appeal.
On appeal, the Foreclosing Bank, relying on case law, argued that the Other Mortgagees had no lien on the collected rents while it had the only perfected judgment lien (via its citation to discovery assets), and that the Other Mortgagees' mortgages and rent-assignment agreements were irrelevant until the Other Mortgagees were granted constructive or actual possession through appointment of a receiver or as mortgagees in possession.
The Appellate Court rejected those arguments in a complex 20-page analysis, including an analysis of the effect of the Illinois Conveyances Act on the Foreclosing Bank's cited case law, the highlights of which appear below.
The Appellate Court found that Section 31.5 of the Illinois Conveyances Act, 765 ILCS 5/31.5(b), provided that "an assignment of rents is perfected upon recording and provides that the assignee has a superior claim to the rents" against anyone whose claim or interest arises or is perfected after that. Thus, the Other Mortgagees' recorded mortgages that contained assignment-of-rents provisions had a superior interest in the rents over the Foreclosing Bank.
The Foreclosing Bank argued that the mere recording of the mortgages containing the assignment of rents provisions did not entitle the Other Mortgagees to the rents. Rather, the Foreclosing Bank argued, the Other Mortgagees had to enforce their liens by obtaining court authorization to collect the rents as required by §31.5(d) of the Illinois Conveyances Act.
However, the Appellate Court pointed out that, under §31.5(d), the Other Mortgagees could enforce the assignments "through applicable law, unless the parties agreed otherwise." 765 ILCS 5/31.5(b). Thus, the Court held, once the Other Mortgagees had perfected their liens on the rents, they also had to take action to enforce those liens either "through applicable law", such as by foreclosing on the liens, or as "the parties agreed otherwise", which they did by electing to skip foreclosure and entering into the forbearance agreements that transmitted the rents directly to the Other Mortgagees. It is important to note here that in Illinois there is no legal requirement that forbearance agreements be recorded.
The Appellate Court observed that "a judgment creditor can establish an entitlement to collect rents by obtaining possession of a mortgagor's property before the mortgagee holding a previously recorded rent assignment takes steps to enforce its rights through foreclosure," including by gaining possessor status or by "the appointment of a receiver."
The Court noted that the Foreclosing Bank could have taken steps to supplant the Other Mortgagees' priority positions for the rents by seeking a turnover of the rents or an appointment of a receiver. But the Foreclosing Bank did not and, instead, had "an unenforced citation lien that cannot not trump an assignment of rents."
A citation lien can only reach assets in the possession or control of a judgment debtor or belonging to the judgment debtor but in the possession or control of a third-party citation respondent. 735 ILCS 5/2-1402(a); 735 ILCS 5/2-1402(m). Here, the rents belonged to the Other Mortgagees because of the forbearance agreements entered into to enforce their perfected liens. Thus, the Court held, no citation lien could attach to the rents collected by the Property Management Company.
The Appellate Court rejected the Foreclosing Bank's other arguments as well. It held that the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law would not be superfluous if trial court's interpretation of the Illinois Conveyances Act was upheld because the foreclosure law applied to mortgagees seeking to foreclose. The Other Mortgagees had not sought to foreclose but to perfect and enforce liens for rent.
The Court also rejected the Foreclosing Bank's argument that the Illinois Conveyances Act was ambiguous and a mere clarification of common law such that the court should reach the opposite outcome. Instead, the Court held that the Illinois Conveyances Act was not ambiguous, but, even if it was, the common law rents-and-profits doctrine, which requires actual or constructive possession of the property through court action before collecting rent, would protect mortgagees' interests in the rents and ensure proper property maintenance because the forbearance agreements required the Other Mortgagees to apply the rents to maintenance and repairs.
The Appellate Court rejected the Foreclosing Bank's co-mingling argument, that the Property Management Company collected the rents and co-mingled them with the Builder's assets thereby negating the liens, pointing out that the Property Management Company was acting as an agent for the Other Mortgagees under the forbearance agreements, not the Builder's agent.
The Foreclosing Bank's prove-up argument also failed. The Foreclosing Bank asserted that by not requiring the Other Mortgagees to prove up the existence or amount of the liens, the one of the Other Mortgagees got a double recovery because it took title to the property through a foreclosure and maintained the right to collect future rents. The Appellate Court pointed out that this mortgagee's purchase of the property after foreclosure extinguished only the mortgage, not the lien on the rents. In re Randall Plaza Center Associates, L.P., 326 B.R. 133, 141 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2005).
Accordingly, pursuant to § 31.5 of Illinois' Conveyances Act, the Appellate Court held that the Other Mortgagees' claims to the rents from the Builder's other properties took lien priority over the foreclosure judgment, and any lien created by the citation to discover assets because the Other Mortgagees recorded their mortgages, which contained assignment-of-rent clauses, and enforced them through forbearance agreements that resulted in rents being directly transmitted to the Other Mortgagees, and the Foreclosing Bank failed to seek appointment of a receiver or a turnover order.

Q: Enums in headers, classes, and main I'm confused as to where I can define an enum and where I can use it. I have 3 files, a main.cpp, function.cpp, and function.h (names have been simplified). In function.h I have
class Function{
  public:
    enum Letters{A, B, C};
//more stuff not related
  private:
//stuff
}

And function.h is #included in main.cpp and function.cpp
However in main.cpp I want to have a variable: Letters letter; so I can get an input from the user, set that input to type i.e letter = A, then use it for a constructor Construct construct(..., letter,...) because the constructor in function.cpp needs a "Letters" in the argument.
So is there any way to have access to the type "Letters" in main.cpp? If not I'm thinking about rewriting the constructor so that it takes in "string letterIn" argument then changes the string to Type i.e if(letterIn == "A") Type type = A;
(I generalized a lot of variable names here so it can apply for other people's situations, I can do into more detail about my own project if it will help)

A: Since you want to use the enum in a constructor, I assume you can make it public. It so, you can access it like:
class Function{
    enum Letters{A, B, C};
//more stuff not related
}

int main(int argc, char** argv} {

    Function::Letters letter1 = Function::A;
    //or
    Function::Letters letter2 = Function::Letters::A;

}

or, as Medinoc pointed out, if you declare your enum as enum class
int main(int argc, char** argv} {

    Function::Letters letter = Function::Letters::A;
}

A: You CAN do it in many ways.
You can declare it inside the header that declares your class:
 class HasEnums
 {
    public:
       enum Letters { A, B, C };
    ...
    HasEnums(Letters letter) { ... }
 };

then in main.cpp:
#include "hasenums.h"

HasENums::Letters letter = A;

HasEnums h(letter);
HasEnums i(HasENums::B);

or in a header file, outside the class:
enum Letters { A, B, C };

class NoEnums
{
   public:
     NoEmums(Letters letter) { ... }
};

and then in main:
#include "noenums.h"

Letters letter = A;

NoEnums n(letter);
NoEnums m(B);

There are dozens of other possible scenarios, but these two seem the most reasonable, depending on what you actually want to describe. The benefit of having Letters declared inside the class is that you can have another enum Letters in another class, and use both without needing one renamed when you need noenums.h and the new file noenums2.h in the same compile unit.
Note also that you can make a private enum, which can't be used outside of the class:
class HasPrivEnum
{
   enum Letters { A, B, C };
   ...
  public:
   HasPrivEnum(Letters letter) {...}
};

but now you won't be able to compile code that uses HasPrivEnum::Letters outside of the class (without friend declaration). This can be useful in some cases, but not from what you describe.

How Roskilde Festival Turned Into A Laboratory For Sustainability
By: Eliza Petrova | September 21, 2013 | World Resources Forum 2013 | 1 Comment
Follow: Culture & Society, Copenhagen Business School, rio+20, supply chain, waste
COPENHAGEN, Denmark – After a weeklong whiff of concerts, parties and events at the beginning of July, the Roskilde Festival site was covered with piles of food leftovers, partially disassembled tents, empty beer cans and other waste. The festival, located some 30 kilometers west of Copenhagen in Denmark "is a micro-cosmos which displays elements of the sustainability challenges faced on a global level," says Esben Pedersen, Head of the Corporate Social Responsibility department of the Copenhagen Business School (CBS). "If it has the problems, it should also be able to present the solutions."
Esben and his colleague researchers on the "Rio to Roskilde Roundtrip" project have embarked upon a journey that took them from the high-end discussions of the United Nations Rio20+ Conference on Sustainable Development to the loud, bustling fields at Roskilde. The project is a cooperation between the Roskilde Festival and a group of researchers supervised by CBS. It aims to take a practical approach to addressing the challenges in implementing a green economy, a cornerstone concept of the Rio20+ Conference.
Roskilde Festival Orange Stage
Using the festival as a laboratory
The team has used the popular event to interview festival-goers as well as survey and observe attitudes concerning sustainability practices within a temporary community. The Roskilde Festival represents exactly this type of setting with its more than 130,000 people living together during a limited period of time and demanding food, accommodation, medical services, leisure activities and other goods and services common to everyday life. The event seems to offer a double benefit: new solutions can be explored while more sustainable practices are dispersed among young, open-minded festival-visitors.
However, to what extent is the festival atmosphere suited for academic research? According to Esben, an interesting finding of the field research was that people seem to have two personalities: one for their ordinary life and one festival personality. This could somehow explain why people choose to throw so much waste directly at the camping site. On the other hand, festival-goers are generally more accommodating, leisurely and open to answer questions. The occasional disturbance, however, is inevitable. This became very clear when during an interview, the research team was interrupted by a group of youths aptly dressed for the ongoing best monkey costume contest.
Better tents for better festivals
To address the topics of food, temporary housing and waste management, respectively, the CBS group was split into three teams. As Head of the Food team, Esben highlights that "almost one-third of food is lost somewhere in the supply chain." To address this, the team has been exploring the supply chain at the festival, following wholesalers as well as food stands to track the process of food management.

Campsite aftermath
The waste management team looked into ways of improving recycling. A potential solution they examined was building tents consisting of only a single material. These are generally more easily recycled than tents made up of more than one material.
The third team tested innovative methods of building temporary housing using stone wool, a natural material made of molten rock. It is durable, soundproof and keeps indoor temperatures constant. The tents are produced by the Danish insulation provider Rockwool International. "I think the festival was a good option for me to test the viability of my tents and houses," says Michaeel Emborg, Prototype Coordinator at Rockwool International. The tents are an ideal example of how sustainable practices can benefit from partnerships with the business world.
Festival solutions for slums and refugee camps
Looking beyond the Roskilde Festival to global migrant streams and proliferating city slums, these solutions could potentially satisfy the need for more sustainable and robust housing options for temporary shelters. Michaeel Emborg indeed plans to make tents and houses for refugee camps. "I am going to present the tents at a meeting held in Denmark during the first week of October with several international NGOs attending. I hope to produce around 100.000 tents next year."
The main results of the project will be presented at a conference at CBS in December. The research team expects interest from companies in the construction, waste management and food industry as well as from other stakeholders. Also, during the fall, together with the Roskilde Festival management they will discuss concrete solutions that can be applied at next year's event. Maybe, at next Roskilde 2014, visitors will meet a festival boasting improved sustainability solutions for food, waste and temporary housing.

LEICESTER'S BLOUNT, WINDLESS CALL TIME
Leicester Riders point guard J R Blount has announced his retirement, following team-mate Tony Windless out of the playing ranks.
Blount will become an assistant coach at St Leo's University in Florida, a Division II college where the former Birmingham Bullets head coach Lance Randall is in charge.
The23-year-old averaged 20.6 points this season, fifth overall in the BBL, and was second in assists with 4.9 per game.
Prior to arriving in Leicester, he was a four-year starter at Loyola University, before joining Riders for his rookie professional season.
"I had a great time at Leicester, and would have liked to have returned," said Blount.
"The fans have been great to me, and my time with the Riders was a great experience. But this opportunity looks too good to miss."
Riders head coach Rob Paternostro played for Randall while he was at Birmingham and backed Blount's choice.
"Lance is a very good coach, and so it will be a good position for J R," he said.
"I knew from his whole approach that J R was bound for the coaching ranks. I guess we would have liked his opportunity to have come just a little later, from a Riders perspective."
It is the second retirement from Leicester's ranks after BBL veteran Windless confirmed he is bringing his long career to a close at the age of 41.
The popular American-born forward played all but two of his 16 professional seasons in Britain after debuting with London Towers in 1994.
He is one of a handful of players to win every major domestic prize.
