Young Chinese artist Li Hui lights up Netherlands: an Art Radar interview
CHINESE ARTIST SOLO EXHIBITION LIGHT ART NETHERLANDS

Following his impressive solo exhibition last year in Mannheim, Germany, young Chinese artist Li Hui brings yet another surprise to the European art scene. In the pitch-dark exhibition space provided by The Centre of Artificial Light in Art in the Netherlands, Li Hui presents a spectacular display of four of his light works entitled "Who's afraid of Red, Amber and Green?". The show, which runs from 16 July to 24 October this year, showcases Li's experiments with laser and LED light.
The current show, the title of which may remind people of Barnett Newman's painting Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?, exhibits four of Li Hui's works: Amber, Reincarnation, Cage and Everything Starts from Here. The works were selected jointly by John Jaspers (director of The Centre of Artificial Light in Art), Christoph and Cordelia Noe (co-directors of The Ministry of Art who represent Li Hui) and the artist.
In an interview with the museum, printed on the museum guide, Li Hui describes his works:
"I can imagine that if someone sees my work for the first time, it can have a very strong visual impact. Just like in Newman's paintings, the bright colors first have to get stored in one's brain. I also understand that there are elements in my works that might make people feel a little puzzled or even a little scared when first confronted with them. However, from what I have experienced, it is not just the visual impact, but also the 'otherness' or their mysticism that can have this kind of result. It is somehow similar to … Shamanism."
Art Radar Asia spoke to Li Hui about the ideas in his works, the challenges he faces and his future plans.
Light not an intended media
Specialising in sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Li Hui learnt to use stainless steel and wood but not light. In fact, he never meant to use light in all of his works, and would not call himself a light artist. It was in the process of production that he thought of light as a possible media for some of his works. He gives an example of how he came up with using LED light for Amber.
"I wanted the transparent material to glow, and I found that LED light is the only light that can produce the effect I wanted. The material is also thin enough for me to install inside the work, so I used it."
Using LED light led to his discovery of the properties of laser light, a non-heating light which produces pure colors, and he started to experiment with it for other works. Light is not a usual medium for art in China or the world and Li says of this phenomenon,
"Light doesn't seem like a material that can be used in art – if you do not handle it well, the outcome will be awful. Everyone can use light in their work, but light may not always be a good material to help them express what they want to express."
"What I want to create is smoke rising from the bed softly and freely. It is a work that would evoke emotions, but this may not be obvious from photos," relays Li Hui. Readers who are interested in experiencing these emotions firsthand can click on the image to watch a video. (Please note that the video is presented in Dutch.) 'Reincarnation' (200 x 110 cm; height variable) is a sculpture made of laser lights, fog, metal and medical bandages. Image courtesy of Ministry of Art.
At this point, Li hasn't thought about specialising in light art, and says that he would use whatever materials suit his concepts. Asked about what he is going to do next, Li says that he is interested in the spiritual and the inner world. When asked whether there are particular philosophies that Li Hui wants to convey in his works, he answers no.
"I want to create feelings which cannot be expressed in languages. There are just too many works attached [to] some kind of philosophy, but to me that's not what art is about. You create feelings in art – if you can feel it, others will feel it too."
Li Hui says about his work 'Cage': "There are two cages inside the work made of laser beams. Laser beams are special in a way that they look tangible while in reality they are not. The two cages appear alternatively so that a group of people who find themselves 'trapped' in the cage in one moment would suddenly find themselves outside the cage in the next. This work brings out the contrast between reality and illusion." 'Cage' (each 200 x 200 cm; height variable) is made of laser lights, mirrors and iron. Image courtesy of Ministry of Art.
Technological skill toughest obstacle
You may imagine Li Hui's laboratory crammed with a lot of professional equipment to support his experiments, but in reality he has to seek technological support from others, such as LED light producers, to create his light works. In fact, technology is one of the greatest challenges in the artist's production process.
"It is impossible to do the works in my own studio. I have to cooperate with others. I don't have their professional equipment. It is very costly…. The most difficult [thing] is skill – I am not talking about artistic skill, but technological skill. Sometimes the problems are just impossible to solve."
For Li Hui, every work is born from rounds of brain-storming followed by rounds of experiments in an effort to work through and predict potential problems.
"Experiments push toward the final outcome. At the initial stage of production, I may draw on the computer. Then I begin experimenting with materials. For example, I test a few shots of laser beams with smoke and find the proportion that suits what I want to express."
Li Hui says about his work 'Everything Starts From Here': "This is a discovery in an experiment. The light beams strike through the transparent dining goblets to project a very impressive light image on the wall. Most of my works are large but this one is not because it is an experimental work." 'Everything Starts From Here' (20 x 30 x 20cm) utilises laser lights, a metal box with a crank, glass and projectors. Image courtesy of Ministry of Art.
Ministry of Art dedicated to Chinese art in Europe
Art Radar Asia spoke with Christoph Noe, one of the directors of The Ministry of Art, an art advisory and curatorial company based in China which represents Li Hui, to find out more about how European opportunities are secured for Chinese or other Asian artists.
"The Ministry of Art … has a broader scope than [just being] a gallery. Our idea is to give artists the opportunity to cooperate with museums or art institutions in Europe … as a lot of the Chinese artists have already had the opportunity to exhibit their works in China or Asia, and some of them lack the opportunity to exhibit in Europe. We come in with our expertise because of our European origins and networks with European institutions. Once we are excited about a Chinese artist we can find an institution that fits very well for that artist."
Li Hui will participate in a group show called Internationale Lichttage Winterthur 2010 in Switzerland in November. He will present another solo exhibition in June 2011 in Berlin, Germany.

Rubin Museum breaks tradition to show the first Tibetan art show in New York – New York Times
TIBETAN CONTEMPORARY ART NEW YORK MUSEUM SHOWS
Until October 18, Rubin Museum, usually New York's home for traditional art of the Himalayas, will run the first Tibetan contemporary art show in the city. Titled "Tradition Transformed: Tibetan Artists Respond", this exhibition showcases the works of nine Tibetan artists born within the period 1953 to 1982. In a review published by The New York Times, critic Ken Johnson comments on each of the artists' works.
Kesang Lamdark from Zurich presents Johnson's most highly recommended works. On display is a sculpture made of perforated beer cans. As one peers through the drinking hole they can see a "glowing, dotted-line image of a Tibetan deity." He also presents O Mandala Tantric, a pin-pricked black disk of four-foot diameter.
The holes on 'O Mandala Tantric' by Kesang Lamdark are back-lighted, such that they create a complex mandala pattern composed of images of skulls and animals, erotic Buddhist art imageries and modern pornography. The work touches upon themes of "debasement of sex in the modern commerce" and the East-West divide over views on eroticism.
The collages presented by Gonkar Gyatso from London are "graphically appealing," but Johnson notes they would be more impressive if they advanced "the genre of Pop collage or ideas about spirituality and business." One of the works on display is called Tibetan Idol 15.
'Tibetan Idol 15' by Gonkar Gystso is a collage of "hundreds of little stickers imprinted with familiar logos, cartoon characters and other signs of corporate empire" which form the "atomised silhouettes of the Buddha".
The computer-generated prints by Losang Gyatso from Washington are, according to Johnson, "technically impressive" and "optically vivid", but should attempt to draw a clearer relationship between "Buddha-mindedness" and "digital consciousness." Clear Light Tara is one such work.
Large and colorful, 'Clear Light Tara' by Losang Gyatso is a computer-generated print which features "abstracted traditional motifs."
Ken Johnson comments on the paintings like Water 1 by Pema Rinzin from New York, stating that they are "uncomfortably close to hotel lobby decoration."
'Water 1' by Pema Rinzin is a painting of "curvy, variously patterned shapes gathered into Cubist clusters."
Penba Wangdu from Tibet presents Links of Origination while Tenzin Norbu from Nepal presents Liberation. Both painters have the greatest "potential for narrative and symbolic elaboration," but their works are "disappointingly decorous", says Johnson.
Tenzin Norbu's 'Liberation' is made with stone ground pigments on cloth.
Penba Wangdu's 'Links of Origination' outlines a sleeping woman whose body contains a "dreamy, pastoral landscape where little people make love, give birth, drink beer and paddle a boat on a peaceful lake."
Tsherin Sherpa from Oakland, California, presents a large watercolor painting which features, as Johnson describes, an "angry blue giant with a vulture perched on his shoulder and flames roiling behind him." Another of the artist's major works, Untitled, features on the official website of the exhibition.
Tsherin Sherpa's 'Untitled'.
Tenzing Rigdol from New York presents a large watercolor painting named Updating Yamantaka.
'Updating Yamantaka' by Tenzing Rigdol is composed of "crisscrossing bands" which are "layered over colorfully traditional imagery of deities and ornamentation."
Dedron from Tibet is the only female artist in the show. We are Nearest to the Sun is painted to resemble to a "modern children's book version of folk art." It is a painting of a village "populated by little bug-eyed characters," projecting the theme of "nostalgia for preindustrial times."
'We are nearest to the Sun' by Dedron, the only female artist represented in "Tradition Transformed: Tibetan artists Respond".
Johnson sums up by stating that it is paradoxical that the "freedoms granted by modern art and culture" do not generate much imagination in the show's artists, who still cling onto that classic Tibetan style of art that has existed "hundreds of years prior to the 20th century." He conveys a hope that in future Rubin shows he will discover some Tibetan artists with "adventurous minds."

Israeli kinetic artist Yaacov Agam helps make "Taipei Beautiful"
PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION ISRAELI ARTISTS KINETIC ART
A public art installation by pioneering Israeli kinetic artist Yaacov Agam was inaugurated in May this year in Taipei City, Taiwan. The NTD60 million design was commissioned to cover Shuiyuan Market in the city's Gongguan business district as part of the Taipei City Government's "Taipei Beautiful" project.
Yaacov Agam's 'The Heart of the Fountainhead' covers Taipei City's Shuiyuan Market.
Catherine Shu, in a feature article published in the Taipei Times, describes the work, titled The Heart of the Fountainhead, as such,
It encompasses the exterior of Shuiyuan Market near National Taiwan University, with rainbow-colored panels concealing air conditioners (which Agam refers to as "visual aggression"). The centerpiece is a giant mural facing Roosevelt Road that relies on audience participation to fully blossom. From the left of the artwork, viewers see a blue and white grid, with ovals, circles and triangles sparsely interspersed throughout. From the right is a geometric rainbow that spirals into a white center.
In this same article, Agam describes his work:
The artwork I call unity and diversity, because [on one side] you have this composition, it is only blue and white and then you have the other side, which is all color. The two are different, so you can call it the yin and yang. [The right side] is like the positive, with the revolving lines, the spiral and the color. It's positive like the movement of life and then the other side is the opposite, with no color.
This is not Agam's first project in Taiwan; two years ago he erected an installation titled Peaceful Communication for the World, consisting of a number blocky colorful columns, at the Kaohsiung National Stadium. It was one of five public artworks created by world-renowned artists, invited during the building of the stadium.
Yaacov Agam's 'Peaceful Communication for the World' at the Kaohsiung National Stadium.
This could explain why, as stated on the Park West Gallery Art Blog, "when the Taipei City Government decided a renovation was in order for Shuiyuan Market, they immediately invited Agam to design a large-scale public artwork."
According to the Taipei City Government's Department of Culture Affairs, The Heart of the Fountainhead "is the first super-size polymorph creation in Asia."

Controversial "Kamoan" artist Andy Leleisi'uao to complete inaugural Taiwanese arts residency – profile
NEW ZEALAND-SAMOAN ARTIST PAINTING ARTS RESIDENCY TAIWAN
Socially motivated New Zealand-Samoan wraps up Taiwanese arts residency
Andy Leleisi'uao is a "Kamoan" (meaning Kiwi + Samoan, a term coined by the artist himself) artist who is the first New Zealander to be accepted for an inaugural three-month Taiwanese arts residency offered by the Asia New Zealand Foundation in partnership with the Taipei Artist Village. He completed the residency at the end of March this year, wrapping it up with a group exhibition and open studio event at the Taipei Artist Village.
Leleisi'uao began his artistic career as a widely celebrated social commentator on Samoans living in New Zealand; his paintings controversially exploring issues associated the Samoan diaspora. As he has developed his style, he has begun to both internalize and universalize these themes, exploring fantastical worlds and opening his art to a global audience.
Areatures of the Arctaur People I, 2009
His early art can be uncomfortable to view, often described by critics as confronting and controversial. In these works, his themes and intentions are obvious to the viewer; he shouts them from the canvas. During the late 1990s, Leleisi'uao's paintings were highly politicized, socially motivated and somewhat autobiographical. He dealt obviously with the societal problems – domestic violence, poverty, unemployment and youth suicide – faced by blue-collar Pacific Island, particularly Samoan, immigrants to New Zealand.
"Leleisi'uao's work emerges as a telling and insightful contrast to the colour, festivities and general brightness that characterizes popular media representations of Pacific Islands cultures." Caroline Vercoe MA, Senior Lecturer, University of Auckland
The Immigrant, 1997
Pacific Island communities are generally strongly Christian and Leleisi'uao often highlighted the negative impact of the church on Samoan families, painting expressionistic pastors getting richer as communities get poorer. This focus on the negative albeit real issues faced by Pacific Islanders living in New Zealand is something that at times put him at odds with local communities.
"My early work in Samoan diaspora was necessary for self-development. It is a universal theme amongst concerns such as racism, domestic violence [and] suicide. I was in an environment and position in which these issues needed to be addressed and I used my vocation to create such works." Andy Leleisi'uao, 2010
Angel of Falo, 2000
Since the early 2000s, however, Leleisi'uao has moderated and universalized his voice, shifting his painting focus and style. His most recent paintings are far less direct in their presentation of the painter's ambitions and motivations. While still dealing with issues of social dislocation, he utilizes mythology and spiritualism to conjure up alternate universes populated with fantastical creatures.
"In these more recent works though the voice is more moderated and rather than a Pacific voice the works have a more universal theme of social and moral dysfunction and alienation." John Daly, National Business Review, 2009
A critic described paintings in 2009 exhibition Le Onoeva – Misunderstood Aitu as "Armageddon-like, with gods and demons bringing saviour and damnation to a waiting populace," while many others noted the recent moderation of his style.
"My role has changed over the years. My obligations towards social and political issues remain but at the moment I am on a cryptid journey I am really enjoying." Andy Leleisi'uao, 2010
Though reportedly toned-down, Leleisi'uao's newer representations still manage to stir public opinion; as reported in 2009 in the National Business Review, a commissioned public mural project planned for a community centre in South Auckland, New Zealand, came to a halt due to local community backlash.
Andy Leleisi'uao is represented by Whitespace (Auckland, New Zealand) and BCA (Raratongo, Cook Islands). This year, he has solo exhibitions in various major cities in Auckland and group exhibitions in Taiwan and New York. He recently won the coveted 2010 McCahon Arts Residency. His works are collected by major art museums and institutions worldwide including Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland University Collection, BCA Collection, Casula Powerhouse, Chartwell Trust Collection, Frankfurt Museum, Ilam University Collection, James Wallace Trust Collection, Manukau City Collection, Pataka Museum of Arts and Cultures and Te Papa, Museum of New Zealand.

What is Indonesian style? Jumaldi Alfi on the art, style and Jogja – interview
CONTEMPORARY INDONESIAN ART
The Sotheby's success of contemporary Indonesian artists like I Nyoman Masriadi, who sold a single painting for more than $245,000 USD at auction on October 6th, 2009 in Hong Kong, has grabbed the attention of the art world. There finally appears to be much international interest in art from the politically heated Southeast Asian island nation. However, what is Indonesian art, and is there an 'Indonesian style'? Art Radar Asia researcher Erin Wooters discusses the emerging style from this part of the art world with renowned Indonesian artist Jumaldi Alfi at Sin Sin Fine Art in Hong Kong before the opening of the 'Diverse 40 x 40' exhibition, which features the works of Alfi, Andy Dewantoro, and Nasirun.
Renewal/ Verjungung Series 3-A, by Jumaldi Alfi, 2009. Acrylic on canvas. Image courtesy of Sin Sin Fine Art.
Jumaldi Alfi, born July 19th 1973, is from Padang in West Sumatra, and studied in Java at the Indonesian High School of the Arts and then the Indonesian Institute of Arts in Jogja (also known as Yogyakarta or Jogjakarta.) In 2008 his work sold for upwards of $35,000 USD at Sotheby's, and he has experienced continued success in 2009. He describes his complicated journey to becoming an artist:
Alfi: My family has a poetry culture. My uncle is a poet and my family prepared me to be appointed to his position, because in our clan we need someone to talk to people with symbolic words. My uncle taught me, but I couldn't [take his position], because in our poetic culture you need to have very focused writing, from the first to the last word, or else the meaning is gone… Honestly, I did not always want to be an artist. I thought I would follow my uncle, because of our bloodline. But when I chose to be an artist for my career, my mom wanted to know why. They thought artists were not disciplined, so stinky, long hair..
Q: What do you think makes Indonesian art different or unique from other Southeast Asian art?
Alfi: Eighty percent of the artists stay in Jogja.. In Indonesia, especially in Jojga, we live together and have an open community, keeping and sharing the energy… We open our hearts, not just the brain.
Q: So you think the way the people interact is special and different, and that's what makes the art different?
Alfi: Yea, the place! The city is open, individual, and very personal. Jojgakarta is a small city, and feels like all family. If I am bored or depressed when working in my studio late at night, I can go out, places will still be open, and many artists will be there. I think it's good. We talk, and then I am back to my studio with a renewed energy.
Q: Is there anything else that makes Indonesian art unique or different from other Southeast Asian art?
Alfi: Yes, our heart.
Renewal /Verjungung Series 2-B, by Jumaldi Alfi, 2009. Acrylic on Canvas. Image courtesy of Sin Sin Fine Art
Q: Are there any subject matters or themes relating Indonesian art?
Alfi: Honestly, we don't have a connector in Indonesian art. You can't find something and say – Oh, this is Indonesian style. You can see the style is very modern. We use Western techinique. We use oil and acrylic, but still you can feel it is not Western. It is not Western because when we start working, we don't use our brain first. We use our feeling, it's about feeling. If we're inspired, we work. If not, we stop.
Q: I see. That touches on the next question, which is if there is a distinct 'Indonesian style'.
Alfi: We don't have an Indonesian style. Indonesia is only a nation. A nation- basically, we are different. West Sumatra and Java are different. The language, the culture, the food, the character, and the emotional feeling are different. The Javanese people are more defensive than the Sumatrans. Sumatrans are more progressive, and have more heart. Javanese are more quiet.
Q: What is Jogja surrealism, and what inspired it?
Alfi: The 80's! Jojga surrealism and abstract expressionism is the generation from the 1980's. In Jojga, the painting is not only surreal, the situation is surreal. Many modern people live there but still believe in traditional mysticism. The surrealism concept in Indonesia and in the West is totally different.
Q: Is your art spiritually inspired or a response to the spirituality in Indonesia?
Alfi: Yes, very much. [It is] not conceptual. Art is the way for me to understand myself.

Q: Is there a central theme in your artwork or a certain idea you are exploring?
Alfi: It is my idea of myself. It is about myself and what I'm feeling. If you want to know the people, know yourself. If you know yourself, you know the people.
Q: How did you meet Sin Sin?
Alfi: I think we found each other because of her karma and my karma. When I first met her my English was really bad and we couldn't talk, but when I showed her my work she understood. I felt good energy, and that is very important to me. I knew it was a good situation. I believe in the connection of body language and the aura. Sometimes you meet people you don't know, but you want to help them. After one minute, you feel like old friends.
Q: What is the nationality of your major collectors?
Alfi: Mostly Indonesian, although the art is making its way to Europe. I think 80% of my collectors are concerned with investment and business, and the rest are serious art lovers.

Car break-ins down in first six months in LA
One of the city's major public nuisances shows signs of easing
By Ethan Ward
Are thieves getting lazier, or have they seen the error of their ways? Reports of theft from vehicles, one of the most common crimes in the city, are down in the first half of 2019.
There were 15,639 reports of thefts from vehicles from Jan. 1 – June 30, 2019 in the City of Los Angeles. During the same period in 2018, there were 16,667 reports, a decrease of 6.1%.
The neighborhoods of Downtown, Hollywood and Koreatown had the most incidents theft from vehicle during the first half of 2019, just as they did for the first half of 2018. Though, good news for residents of Downtown and Koreatown, the crime was down from this time last year by 5.2% and 11.9%, respectively.
Hollywood had a nearly 8% increase this year compared with the first six months of last year.
Yet when Hollywood resident Danny Finn's car was broken into, it wasn't in his neighborhood.
The Aelonia band frontman was shopping in the middle of the afternoon on March 4 in Atwater Village, which had only 29 reported cases of car break-ins (including his) in the first half of 2019. When he returned to his 2017 Honda Civic, he found his window smashed.
"My initial thought was shock, and you feel like your security and privacy were violated," Finn said. Of the $300 out-of-pocket costs, he added, "It sucks."
He was able to get a thumb drive from a nearby retail store that contained video footage of the break-in.
From the footage, he saw two suspects drive up in their car and park next to his. A woman hopped out, smashed one of his car windows and took a small black toiletries bag from underneath the passenger seat. Then, she got back into her own car, and she and her driver zoomed away.
But when he gave the thumb drive to the desk officer at the police station, the officer asked for the footage on a CD instead, said Finn. Twenty-seven-year-old Finn, who left the thumb drive with the officer, said he was shocked that the police are still using disks.
"I expect to never hear back from detectives despite giving them the license plate, footage of the crime, pictures and an accurate description of the car down to the color and model," Finn said. "If a detective can't figure out how to open a thumb drive on a computer, how is he going to solve a case of personal theft and damages?"
As it turns out, LAPD detectives are actively working on the case.
"There is no correlation between working a thumb drive and solving crime in Los Angeles" said Josh Rubenstein, the public information director for the LAPD. "We have seasoned detectives."
He said the detectives managed to transfer the data onto a CD and are investigating the crime. He also said the department is encouraged that thefts from vehicles are down in the first six months of the year
Elsewhere in the City of Los Angeles, Studio City residents will be relieved to know their neighborhood dropped from number nine on our list for the first six months of 2018, to number 16 for the first six months of 2019.
However, the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood went from the 23rd spot during the first half of 2018 to the ninth spot in the first half of 2019, with 282 break-ins during the first six months of 2019, up from 172 break-ins during the same period, an increase of 63.9%.
How we did it: We examined LAPD publicly available data on reports of theft from vehicle, burglary from vehicle, as well as attempted thefts and burglary from vehicles for the first half of 2019, which revealed a decrease in incidents from the same time period last year. For neighborhood boundaries, we rely on the borders defined by the Los Angeles Times. Learn more about our data here.
LAPD data only reflect crimes that are reported to the department, not how many crimes actually occurred. In making our calculations, we rely on the data the LAPD makes publicly available. On occasion, LAPD may update past crime reports with new information, or recategorize past reports. Those revised reports do not always automatically become part of the public database.

Ministers call for views on strategies to end abuse and violence
Date published: 10 January 2022
Policing and community safety
Executive Ministers have issued a call for views on two new strategies, aimed at tackling domestic and sexual abuse, and violence against women and girls.
The First Minister, deputy First Minister, Justice Minister and Health Minister stressed the Executive's commitment to tackling these critical issues and creating a society where everyone is safe and protected from all forms of violence and abuse.
Paul Givan, Michelle O'Neill, Naomi Long and Robin Swann have urged everyone, including victims and survivors, to make their voices heard.
The Equally Safe Strategy: A Strategy to Tackle Violence Against Women and Girls, from the Executive Office, is being designed to address societal attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.
The Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy, from the Departments of Health and Justice, seeks to adopt an inclusive approach and apply to all victims, regardless of gender or gender identity.
Meeting with key statutory and voluntary sector stakeholders, the four Ministers announced a wide ranging engagement on the two new strategies, which will run through to 7 March 2022.
Speaking on the Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, First Minister Paul Givan said: "Violence and the fear of violence in all its forms has long-lasting, life-changing impacts on the most personal aspects of the lives of women and girls. It limits their life-chances and causes misery to individuals and their families. This, in turn, reverberates out into the workplace and wider community.
"We want a society in which all are equally safe; where everyone is respected and can reach their full potential. Addressing this issue will take a combined effort – that involves government at every level, statutory bodies and grassroots organisations, but also individuals – we all have a part to play.
"As an Executive, we are committed to tackling all forms of violence, abuse and unwanted behaviour against women and girls. It has no place in our society. I would encourage as many people as possible to reach out and engage in the development of these strategies."
The deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said: "This is a priority issue for me, and the Executive is united in its determination to end the abhorrent violence and abuse against women and girls in our society. From the most heart-breaking stories to the unwanted behaviour that makes many women uncomfortable and anxious every day, we know the impact that violence against women and girls has every day. It has no place in our society and it must stop.
"Much good work is already being done but the time has come for a step change in how these issues are addressed. Our approach is ambitious and focused on working collaboratively. We want you to help us to look at root causes, track the progression from damaging attitudes towards abusive behaviours and understand how to intervene at the earliest possible stages. That is why we asking for views from right across our community. It is crucial to hear all voices, including those of victims and survivors. Please help us to create a society where every woman and girl feels safe."
Outlining plans in relation to the new cross Executive Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy, Justice Minister Naomi Long said: "We are committed to working with our Executive colleagues to challenge and address the societal attitudes and behaviours that contribute towards domestic and sexual abuse in our society. Tackling domestic and sexual abuse is, and will continue to be, a key priority for us. Anyone can be a victim, just as anyone can be an abuser.
"Tackling this issue warrants a dedicated approach, an identifiable strategy, with specific commitments. While we have already taken a number of important steps to address domestic and sexual abuse, including new legislation to make domestic abuse an offence, there is more to do".
Health Minister Robin Swann concluded by saying: "It is particularly important that we get the views of as wide a range of society as possible. We want to hear from our statutory and voluntary sector partners who have much expertise, experience and knowledge to bring as well as those who have been affected by domestic and sexual abuse, those with lived experience.
"By responding to this call for views, you will help us to consider the challenges and opportunities as we plan ahead to develop this new Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy for Northern Ireland, to raise awareness, support victims and address offending behaviour. We very much look forward to hearing your views."
The call for views paper, covering both strategies, is available here: https://consultations.nidirect.gov.uk/doj/call-for-views-dsa-strategy-vawg-strategy-response.
Engagement on the Call for Views will last for eight weeks, ending on Monday 7 March.
The Domestic and Sexual Abuse (DSA) helpline is available 24/7, for both men and women on 0808 8021414. It's free and confidential.
Web chat is also available at dsahelpline.org or email help@dsahelpline.org
Children can contact Childline on 0800 1111 or via www.childline.org.uk
Emotional and practical support is available from Victim Support NI if you have been affected by any type of crime. Contact the Belfast Hub on 028 9024 3133 or email belfast@victimsupportni.org.uk. Contact the Foyle Hub on 028 7137 0086 or email: foyle@victimsupportni.org.uk.
If you need help from the police call 101. In an emergency always call 999. If you are scared to speak, a 'silent solution' exists to press 55 when prompted. This allows police to know it is a genuine emergency.

Defender Of Employee Rights
HR departments often fail to address sexual harassment
On behalf of Law Office of William M. Julien, P.A. posted in Sexual Harassment at Work on Thursday, April 20, 2017.
Employers in Florida and around the country are expected to take steps to address discrimination or harassment in the workplace based on race, disability, gender, religion, age or national origin, and they generally rely on human resources departments to investigate claims of mistreatment and enforce company policies. However, several of the civil rights activists and attorneys who spoke at the Women in the World Summit, which was held in New York in early April, said that corporate HR departments are often a part of the problem.
Many federal laws dealing with workplace discrimination and harassment such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and employers hoping to avoid sanctions are encouraged to put clear discrimination policies into place and investigate complaints thoroughly. However, many such policies are not properly enforced or allow exceptions to be made for senior executives or top performers according to labor advocates.
These advocates say that failing to adequately investigate claims of harassment leveled against highly visible employees can nurture hostile workplace environments and lead workers to believe that filing a complaint is a waste of time and effort. The sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Gretchen Carlson in 2016 led to Roger Ailes stepping down as CEO of Fox News, but the litigation also prompted several other female Fox employees who thought that their voices would never be heard to come forward.
Attorneys with experience in this area may have encountered victims of sexual harassment or discrimination who were reluctant to file complaints because they feared retaliation or believed that little would be achieved. Attorneys could seek to reassure workers who feel this way by explaining the severe sanctions that companies could face for firing, demoting or otherwise punishing workers who have complained about violations of federal or state discrimination laws.

Yes, folks, it's that time of year again--I'm voting for the Hugo Awards. Since I'm on vacation from the day job this week, I've set aside this block of time to hopefully get my ballot finalized. I'm going to be a lot briefer about the bulk of these categories, mainly because most of the ballot isn't as egregiously stupid as last year's.
These are some of the categories I've decided so far.
This, of course, is the 800-pound gorilla of the category. It was also on my nominating ballot. It's a beautiful story with stunning artwork, and if you can afford the hardcover deluxe edition, I would suggest you pick it up.
The Divine and Invisible Republic Vol. 1 are both pretty pedestrian stories, and neither's artwork is outstanding, but either one is better than the two webcomics, Erin Dies Alone and Full Frontal Nerdity. Erin is dull and Nerdity is dumb, so I'm leaving them off the ballot altogether.
I'm not into podcasts, so I'm not fond of the category.
Pretty disturbing stuff, some of it, but visually striking.
Neither as intense or as detailed as Disse's.
This artist has far more of a sense of humor than the first two, but his stuff unfortunately isn't as good.
The remaining artists, Matthew Callahan and Kukuruyo, are simply not Hugo quality, as far as I'm concerned.
I'll continue knocking these out for the rest of the week.

ThyssenKrupp bags $2 bn EPC contract from Midwest Fertilizer
INDIANAPOLIS, US: Midwest Fertilizer Company LLC said that it has entered into an agreement with ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions (US) Inc, to design and build a nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facility in Posey County, Indiana at an agreed aggregate price in excess of $2 billion, with financial close expected in mid-2016.
The contract awarded to ThyssenKrupp covers engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and related services. Construction will start after the financial close. The facility is expected to be fully operational in 2020.
"This partnership allows us to move forward with the next phases of this world-class project in southwest Indiana," said Mike Chorlton, president and CEO, Midwest Fertilizer Company.
This facility will produce ammonia, urea, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) and diesel exhaust fluid. UAN is the preeminent liquid fertilizer used in the Midwest.
"Thanks to Posey County's business friendly environment, we are on the path to provide farmers in Indiana and the Midwest a reliable local source of high-quality nitrogen fertilizer," said Chorlton.
The fertilizer plant is expected to generate more than 2,500 construction jobs over a three to four year period and approximately 200 permanent employment opportunities. Once completed, the fertilizer plant will provide local production for the farmers in the Eastern Corn Belt.
The principal sponsor and developer of the project is Fatima Fertilizer Company, a part of Fatima Group. Fatima Group is one of the leaders in the fertilizer industry and has diverse manufacturing businesses in fertilizer, textiles, sugar and energy. Since selecting ThyssenKrupp to supply a fertilizer production plant in 1973, Fatima's fertilizer business and ThyssenKrupp continue to work as partners.
"We are confident that Midwest Fertilizer Company's success will open up avenues for further progress and development in southern Indiana," said Fawad Mukhtar, chairman, Fatima Group.

Q: How do I configure a synced folder on Vagrant with an absolute path? I'm trying to configure the synced folder for Vagrant with a Windows 2012R2 host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest.  I've tried various relative paths with no success.  My installation is on the D: drive and VirtualBox configuration is on the C: drive, so I'm not sure where the default sync location is and am trying to use absolute file paths.  This is the correct Vagrantfile config file because I have been successful making other configurations here such as port forwarding, but I am really struggling to get the synced folder working.
Here is what I am currently trying:
config.vm.synced_folder "D:/Users/slittle/vagrant_data", "/home/vagrant/data"

The location of my Vagrantfile is D:\Users\slittle and I have folders already created in both of the locations.

A: As you notice, the double slashes are making the difference:

config.vm.synced_folder "C:\Users\tash\sync_test", "/home/vagrant"

Yunnan,a southwestern province in china ,abounds in a great number of natural resources.With its unique topography,abundant rainfall and mild climate,Yunnan provides ideal conditions for tea growing and production,which makes it one of the top producers for tea in china.Thus,Yunnan also enjoys the reputation of "the homeland of tea trees".
The ancient Tea-Horse Trade Road,also known as the "Silk Road"of the south ,is closely related to the huge tea production since Tang dynasty.Tea grown and made in Yunnan has been transported by the horses to Sichuan and Tibet,which has greatly promoted the exchanges of culture among different groups of minorities.Tea,which boasts of the necessary substances for human beings, has become the daily necessity for the local people.Therefore,tea culture has been diverse in Yunnan due to its many nationalities,such as the three course tea of Bai people,which symbolizes one's life journey;the Tibetan tea offering the vitamins to balance out the fat .

If you or a loved one has rheumatoid arthritis (RA), there are promising treatments that may add years to your life. However, there are also simple lifestyle changes that one can make which will improve health and increase his or her chances of living longer. People with RA are at a greater risk of other diseases such as stroke, heart attack and osteoporosis.
• Exercise regularly as it reduces inflammation, improves heart health and can lower your risk for diabetes.
• Get adequate amount of sleep, the hormones responsible for hunger and fullness can get out of balance if you don't get enough sleep causing you to eat more and gain weight. Furthermore, weight gain can make the pain and inflammation from RA worse.
• Medications used to treat RA can affect your well being. It's important that you control the side effects, for instance if the medications can cause stomach upset and nausea, take them with food. Consult with your doctor before making these changes.
• Use hot and cold treatments to soothe your joints and muscles, don't overdo it.
• Take a shower to warm up your joints and stretch to help loosen you up for the rest of the day.
• Manage your stress by mediating, deep breathing or by doing things you enjoy.
Try the above tips to help you live a better life, everyday, with RA!


GitHub is a specialized content hosting silo for code, issues, comments, and static content that has some aspects of a commons, and through free domain mapping, a content hosting service as well.
See github-pages for how to setup a static Github pages site!
For POSSEing source code to github, see git.
While git is inherently distributed, all the extra functionality (issues, pull requests, etc.) that GitHub adds on top is not. GitHub has a nice API for interacting with repositories, which makes it pretty easy to POSSE issues, comments on issues, stars, and maybe more.
Plain text notes can be POSSEd to GitHub as a gist.
No known examples of anyone doing this yet.
Be the first and add your permalinks here!
An issue post that is in reply to a particular GitHub repo can (and should) be POSSEd to GitHub as a new issue on that GitHub repo.
A reply to a GitHub repo path, may make sense to be POSSEd as a comment on that path, e.g. if it is a gist. If the reply is an issue, see above POSSE an issue.
A reply to a specific GitHub issue can (and should) be POSSEd as a new comment on that issue.
If the GitHub issue was itself originally posted as an indie issue, then be sure to post your reply as a multi-reply in-reply-to both that the indie issue permalink, and its GitHub copy.
A reply to a comment on a specific GitHub issue can (and should) be POSSEd as a comment in reply to that previous comment.
A star on a GitHub repo can (and should) be POSSEd as a like of the repo.
A reacji to a GitHub issue or comment can (and should) be POSSEd as a reaction to that issue/comment on GitHub respectively.
If that GitHub issue or comment was itself originally posted on the indieweb, the be sure to post your reacji as a multi-reply in-reply-to both to the indie issue/reply post permalink and their GitHub copy.
Colin Tedford manually POSSEs Github issues, and manually POSSEs and backfeeds comments on GitHub issues (it's just occasional bug reports, so not as onerous as it might be if he were a developer).
He does this with the Known plugin to POSSE to GitHub.
Bridgy can POSSE issues, comments, stars, and emoji reactions to GitHub, as well as backfeed comments and reactions.
If you get an error POSSEing to a particular GitHub repo using Bridgy, you may need to ask the repo's organization's owner(s) to approve Bridgy as an OAuth app for that repo.
If you deploy an application that uses GitHub's API and needs to request the user's permission, it will display an OAuth permissions page that looks like *you* (the author of the application) are asking permission.
The solution is to deploy the application from a GitHub organization account for your application, either with the same name as your application, or whatever organization your application is a part of, that you're asking your users to "trust".
Any attempt to load a GitHub URL (assuming you were previously logged in) would result in a temporary redirect to that interstitial. You could still view public GitHub URLs in a browser's "Private Mode" without seeing the interstitial (because you were not logged in).

Do Haryanavis condone rapes?
Rewari rapists had assaulted at least four others earlier
Survivors Didn't Dare To Report Crime, Say Police
Chetna.Choudhry@timesgroup.com
Rewari:
At least one or more of the suspects arrested for the September 12 Rewari gang rape had sexually assaulted other women at the same spot — a room with a tubewell next to a farm — and gotten away with it each time because the survivors and their families, who live in the area, did not speak out.
Police said they learnt of the four earlier sexual assaults involving the same group of men, who abducted, drugged and gang-raped a 19-year-old former state topper in board exams on September 12, while interrogating the five suspects.
A sixth suspect, Naveen (Nikku), was arrested on Tuesday from the Army Air Defence College in Odisha's Gopalpur. Naveen, police said, is a jawan who joined the Army six months ago. Another Army jawan, Pankaj, was arrested in the case on September 23. Two more arrests were made late on Tuesday — Abhishek from Mahendergarh and Manjeet from Rajasthan — for allegedly helping the prime suspects. Mewat SP Nazneen Bhasin said all suspects in the crime have been nabbed.
The room where the suspects assaulted several women
'Rewari rapists emboldened as no one complained'
Pankaj and his two friends, Nishu and Manish, were identified by police as the prime suspects. The trio allegedly followed the 19-year-old woman all the way to Mahendergarh, 40km away, abducted her at the bus stop where she got off, and brought her back to their Rewari village in Pankaj's car.
A senior police officer told TOI that Nishu had revealed during interrogation he lured other women to the room in the past, including sex workers, and that his friends had joined him there to sexually assault the women. They had become emboldened with time as no police complaints were filed, and no one spoke openly about it. "They were girls of marriageable age. If it became public knowledge, they would have no future," a villager said.
But villagers knew all about Nishu, who lived in a sprawling house and came from a wealthy family. He had money to splurge, so a group of local men gravitated towards him. They would meet at Deendayal's room, where the 19-year-old and women they targeted before her, were raped. Deendayal, too, has been arrested.
"Their luck ran out as the 19-year-old woman went ahead and reported the crime. The men deliberately used Pankaj's car because she knew him very well and would not get suspicious. Pankaj was trained for his Army job by her father. She knew Nishu as well. These men never thought she will actually report this to the cops, something they had managed to dodge in the past," said the police officer.
Nishu was sent to 14 days' judicial custody on Tuesday. The local court also rejected the bail plea of Sanjeev, the registered medical practitioner who the suspects had called when they feared the 19-yearold's health was sinking. Sanjeev was arrested because he did not report the crime to the police but told local residents about it.
Naveen, the Armyman arrested from Gopalpur, is from the same village, and was home on 28 days' leave. "He was one of the people who visited the tubewell (room) when the survivor was held captive there. However, he also did not report the matter to the authorities," said additional DGP Shrikant Jadhav.
Police did not rule out adding rape charges, saying they will make a decision after further investigation. Pankaj and Manish are also still in police custody.


The year that some colleagues in the Tulane School of Architecture started the URBANbuild program was the same year that New Orleans was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. The program quickly adapted to not only function as a way for students to gain experience in a design/build environment, but to serve as a social program providing greater options to the communities of New Orleans that are often overlooked.
Watch as architect Rodolphe el-Khoury describes a not-too-distant future in which "the internet of things" will become a reality.


The lightening holes in the reinforcing plate are punched at the factory and have rough edges, as on the center hole shown in the photo on the right. The other two shiny holes have been finished with a Scotchbrite wheel on a drill and then a hand held Scotchbrite red pad.
The ribs have been edge smoothed and their flanges fluted as necessary to straighten any curvature along the length of the rib face. In preparation for adding the skin, the ribs and spars are Clicoed to form a temporary skeleton structure.
When the skin is added, a Clico is placed in every third or forth hole.
Rivet holes in the skin and rib flanges are drilled undersize at the factory.
The next step for the builder is to match drill the holes in the skin to the holes in the spars and rib flanges. As work progresses, Clicos are moved from undrilled to match drilled holes until all of the several hundred holes are done.
Dolly is using a three point deburring cutter in a slow speed electric screwdriver. A quick pulse of the trigger is all that is needed.
Drilling leaves very small but rough burrs on the edges of the holes, particularly where the drill bit has exited the back of the work. Both sides of each hole on each piece of aluminum must be deburred.
Like the remainder of an RV's skin, the vertical stab skin is held to the sub structure with flush rivets. These rivets require a dimpled or countersunk depression in which to rest their heads (anthropomorphism intended). Today the VS skin and the lower portion of the VS rear spar were dimpled using an Avery dimpling press. Rib flange holes matching the skin were dimpled with a hand squeezer. The lower portion of the thicker rear spar doubler was countersunk. All parts were then primed in SEM grey primer.
12/02 – 12/03/14 Finally, after four days of parts preparation we began riveting. We started by assembling the rear spar and Rudder hinge brackets.
Next, the ribsare riveted to the front spar.
Note we work on a 2'x8′ table top on which there are two square platforms with indoor/outdoor carpet surfaces to protect shiny aluminum parts. The platforms can be slid apart to accommodate the Avery dimpling tool. Or, the platforms can be removed when we need to clamp a part to a rigid surface.
We have a completed Vertical Stabilizer, minus the Fiberglas tip which will be added when other fiber-glassing is done.
Eight days. Not a record, yet not bad when each half of the Horizontal Stabilizer averaged ten days.

Justice for all – except victims of botched abortions and the unborn
By Rachael Denhollander | February 21, 2013 , 11:55am
It's been a bad couple of weeks for Big Abortion. Will our nation notice?
Maybe it's just "bad luck," or maybe the truth is finally getting out a bit more, but it's been a bad couple of weeks for Planned Parenthood. Or, more appropriately, a bad couple of weeks for several women seeking abortion services.
It started with the news that Jennifer Morbelli, a young woman seeking a late-term abortion for her 33-week-old daughter, Madison Leigh, had died at the hands of abortionist LeRoy Carhart, just a few days into the procedure. She is at least the second woman to die at the hands of Carhart; Christin Gilbert suffered the same fate as Jennifer a few years before.
Then, two days ago, pro-life advocates participating in 40 Days for Life witnessed an unnamed woman being loaded into an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital following another botched abortion – the third such event witnessed at this particular clinic in the last two years.
Today, a new horrific case – a report of Planned Parenthood forcing an abortion, and then botching it, leaving the patient in serious condition – has come to light. Ayanna Byer, a 40-year-old woman, had gone to Planned Parenthood to follow through on her scheduled abortion. But when intravenous anesthesia became unavailable due to a problem starting the IV line, Ayanna told the doctor she did not want to continue. Apparently, for Planned Parenthood, the issue of "choice" isn't always primary after all, since the abortionist informed Ayanna that it was too late to stop, turned on the suction machine, and began the procedure while she was fully awake, and without any anesthesia.
Ayanna was then sent home, where she proceeded to experience excruciating pain and heavy bleeding. The clinic, clearly with the best interests of women in mind, informed Ayanna that they do not provide follow-up care for their procedures, even in the case of complications, and referred her to the emergency room. Thankfully, unlike Jennifer, Ayanna made it there in time but arrived severely septic, with a high fever. Doctors at the hospital quickly discovered that the abortionist had botched Ayanna's procedure and left parts of her baby's body in utero. Ayanna required immediate, high-risk surgery and four days of hospitalization, receiving no help or input from the abortionist who caused the issue in the first place. When emergency-room doctors contacted the abortionist who performed the procedure to ask for her pathology report, they were told that the clinic doesn't do such reports on abortion patients.
Unfortunately, abortion advocates seem determined to hide the damage abortion does to women, and the politically correct cover-up that generally results if a whisper of an abortion-related tragedy gets out is clearly beginning in Jennifer's case. On the same day as Ayanna's story became public, the medical examiner released his report on Jennifer's death. It concluded that Jennifer did, in fact, die from complications of an abortion – specifically, an embolism caused by amniotic fluid, and a condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, a clotting disorder that leads to internal bleeding and organ failure. On Jennifer's death certificate, however, the medical examiner could choose to list "homicide," "suicide," "accidental causes," or "natural causes." Not surprisingly, he chose to list "natural causes." Apparently, death from a botched abortion is natural here in America.
Ayanna has a better chance of seeing justice – her case has been taken up by Alliance Defending Freedom, one of the most prominent conservative legal action groups in America. Fortunately, Ayanna had an emergency-room doctor who encouraged her to file suit and a group of lawyers willing to confront one of the biggest and most divisive issues in America. Whether mainstream media and pro-choice America will care about justice for Ayanna remains to be seen.
As pro-life advocates, we are grateful that Ayanna has a chance at justice, and we grieve that Jennifer's family will likely never see justice served. Yet as we mourn a mother's untimely death, seek justice for what was committed against these women, and express horror at what they went through, the reality remains that two little people in these tragic incidences had no choice in the matter at all. Two of the people who lost their lives and had procedures performed on them without anesthetic didn't walk in asking for an abortion.
It is undeniably wrong that clinic workers performed an abortion on Ayanna after she withdrew her consent, but her little baby was never asked at all. And it is horrific that they performed the procedure without giving Ayanna the agreed-upon anesthetic. But the tiny little person being literally ripped apart inside Ayanna felt it all, too, and no one seemed worried about what she was going to feel.
It has indeed been a bad couple of weeks for Planned Parenthood and for women in their clinics – but for the innocent unborn, every week is a bad week, and they never make it out alive. Justice ought to be sought to the fullest extent of the law for both Ayanna and Jennifer, and the truth about the harm abortion does to women shouted from the rooftops. Yet we must never do anything in a way that excuses, minimizes, or detracts from the horror their unborn children suffered that day, or the double-standard society seems so content to live with when it comes to the unborn. Someday, maybe, there really will be "liberty and justice for all."

Emergex and George Mason University sign agreement for highly pathogenic RNA virus studies
Emergex Vaccines and George Mason University's National Center for Biodefense and Infectious Diseases (NCBID) enter into an agreement relating to the development of CD8+ priming RNA virus vaccines, including for SARS-CoV-2

Abingdon, UK, 22 April 2020 - Emergex Vaccines Holding Limited ('Emergex'), a biotechnology company developing CD8+ priming set-point vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with the George Mason University, based in Virginia, in the United States.
The agreement specifies that George Mason University's National Center for Biodefense and Infectious Diseases will provide their unique expertise and resources as a partner in the development of Emergex's vaccines against highly pathogenic RNA viruses. In particular, George Mason University's Biosafety 3 capabilities, coupled with their experience in dealing with RNA viruses, means that they are a well-suited collaborator on the vaccine validation studies, as well as the optimization of vaccine design.
Professor Thomas Rademacher, CEO and co-founder of Emergex, commented, "Everyone in the world today has or will be affected by highly pathogenic RNA viruses such as bird flu, Ebola, COVID-19, etc. These viruses have caused significant morbidity and mortality, especially in high-risk groups such as the immunocompromised or elderly. We are therefore very excited to announce today this agreement with George Mason University, which adds an important capability to Emergex's vaccine program."
Dr Aarthi Narayanan, Associate Professor of Systems Biology in George Mason University's College of Science, added, "My colleagues and I are looking forward to partnering with Emergex and we are especially pleased to be lending our expertise to efforts to create a vaccine during these challenging times. As members of the faculty of a premier research university, we work with other thought leaders to address global threats. This is how we make progress, and collaboration is the top priority for the College of Science, the Institute for Biohealth Innovation, and the University as a whole."
Emergex's set-point vaccines have been designed to offer advantages compared to traditional vaccines. These vaccines modify the initial immune status of the recipients in a way that 'primes' their immune systems to recognize subsequent infectious agents much like a natural infection would do, and thus preventing an acute or severe manifestation of the disease. They do this by providing a cell-mediated immune response (a T-cell response) rather than a humoral immune response (an antibody based immune response) which should stimulate longer lasting immunity. They are self-adjuvanted and limit or eliminate the allergic, autoimmune or antibody mediated side effects associated with the traditional vaccines. They are also 100% synthetic and do not contain any RNA or DNA - do not use inactivated or live-attenuated pathogens - and therefore should be inherently safer to develop and use.

About Emergex
Emergex, a UK-based biotechnology company headquartered in Abingdon, UK, is pioneering the development of set-point vaccines to address some of the world's most immediate health threats such as Dengue Fever, Zika, Ebola, pandemic flu and serious intra-cellular bacterial infections.
These set-point vaccines are population based and modify the initial immune status of recipients in a way that 'primes' their immune systems to recognise subsequent infectious agents much like a natural infection would do, preventing an acute or severe manifestation of the disease.
Emergex combines validated technologies together with the very latest scientific insights to develop its vaccines, including using synthetic peptide codes determined on actual infected cells and using a proprietary gold nanoparticle carrier system for programming.
The Company has a growing pipeline of vaccine candidates. The most advanced development programme is a vaccine for Dengue Fever, which may also be disease modifying for other Flaviviruses such as the Zika and Yellow Fever viruses. Emergex also has programmes in development for a universal Influenza vaccine and a universal Filovirus vaccine (including viruses such as Ebola and Marburg) and discovery programmes for a Yellow Fever Booster vaccine and a Chikungunya vaccine.

Duterte: Poe can be President someday if Constitution allows foundlings to run | Inquirer News
Duterte: Poe can be President someday if Constitution allows foundlings to run
By: Jhoanna Ballaran - Reporter / @JhoannaBINQ
President Rodrigo Duterte.
President Rodrigo Duterte said he would want Sen. Grace Poe to be the country's president someday but on one condition: amend the Constitution that would explicitly allow foundlings to run for office.
In a speech during a birthday party in Cavite on Tuesday night, Duterte said he did not agree with the Supreme Court's 2016 decision that Poe, a foundling, is a natural-born citizen.
"But I like Grace Poe to be President someday if the requirement remains to be same. But, I said, I think we will amend the Constitution and make that exemption, na 'yung foundling are already qualified," Duterte said.
While he treats Poe as a friend, Duterte said there is only one way to become a natural-born citizen, and that is to "go out of your mother's womb."
"Eh pabalik-balik 'yan sa (It's been repeated in) law school. Kami, only to be interpreted of incorporating a treaty and overruling a strict, I said, a poignant one because you must be a citizen out… inside and out of your mother's womb," Duterte said.
"Kasi kung wala kang (Because if you have no) known father or mother, you are a foundling, and then you cannot really say with certainty now that you are a natural-born citizen. 'Yun lang po (That's all). I disagreed with the Supreme Court," he added.
Duterte has repeatedly said that the SC decision allowing Poe to run prompted him to pursue his candidacy during the 2016 elections.
Even as President, Duterte has insisted on many occasions that Poe was not a natural-born Filipino and stressed that she should banned from running for public office.
On March 8, 2016, the Supreme Court ruled that Poe is "presumptively natural born," overturning the Commission on Election's decision to disqualify the senator from running for public office.
Months later, on September 21, the high court en banc upheld the decision of the Senate Electoral Tribunal, declaring Poe a natural-born Filipino citizen and qualified to run for public office. /je
