Dr. Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella, National Grand Coalition (NGC) presidential nominee has named Engineer Andrew Keili as his running mate for the upcoming Sierra Leone elections slated for March 7, 2018 ending weeks of speculation and effectively setting the stage for a heated general election against the ruling All Peoples Congress, the moribund opposition – the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) and other smaller parties.
The announcement, made this Friday morning at the Sierra Lighthouse in Freetown comes two days to the end of year 2017. Political analysts believe that Yumkella's decision to name someone with Keili's calibre could help him penetrate voters in Eastern Sierra Leone and help him consolidate his rising popularity among the grassroot population in the country that could catapult him to State House.
The NGC ticket bring together a total of 55 years of combined professional experience; Yumkella, a distinguished development economist and an expert in agricultural economics with over 25 years of international experience and Keili, an accomplished engineering and management executive with over 30 years of experience in managerial positions including private industry, public institutions and parastatals mostly in Sierra Leone.
In addition, the NGC ticket is led by two people from two chieftaincy ruling houses – Yumkella and Keili. Paramount Chief Bai Sebora Yumkella of Samu Chiefdom, Kambia District and Paramount Chief Kandeh Kolleh of Tambaka Chiefdom, Karene District– father and grandfather (maternal side) respectively of Kandeh Yumkella. For Keili, his grandfather (maternal side) was Paramount Chief Bai Coomber of Mandu Chiefdon, Kailahun District. Today, his younger brother, Chief David Mandy Farley-Keili-Coomber is the current paramount chief.
During his familiarization tour around the country, Yumkella, in meetings with chiefs in various locations, expressed very strongly his firm commitment to empower chiefs because of the critical role they play in the socio-economic development of their regions and the country. "I pledge to respect, recognize and empower you to perform your traditional roles. You are closest to the people and understand their needs and sufferings," he said.
A practicing Muslim, many have noted that Yumkella's choice of Keili, son of an Anglican Archbishop and himself a practicing Christian and lay preacher cements the bonds of religious tolerance between Christians and Muslims, that Sierra Leone has enjoyed and is known for around the world.
Keili is popular in South-Eastern Sierra Leone, speaks fluent Mende two characteristics that give the Yumkella-Keili ticket a wider appeal in a general election. Fluid in policy, Keili is well respected in Sierra Leone.
On recent familiarization tours, both men demonstrated a keen sense of humour and strong partnership. Though older and senior at Christ the King College (CKC) – the Secondary School they both attended, Keili has shown a deep sense of humility in deferring to Yumkella's wisdom and guidance. He may have to catch up with Yumkella's youthful energy and agility as someone jokingly noted recently during their Alma mater's 2017 annual Thanksgiving parade in Bo, Southern Sierra Leone.

Q: Group of order 275 act on set of size 18, what is the minimum number of orbit of lenght 1? Let $G$ be a group of order 275 acting on set of size 18, what is the minimum number of orbit of length 1?
I think it is 2 because we then have $1+1+5+11$  all of the numbers in the sum are divisors of by $275=5^2*11$.

A: You have shown that there is a solution which involves 2 orbits of length one, but not yet that you cannot do with fewer.
For that, note that you cannot write $17=18-1$ as a sum of 5s and 11s (clearly no divisor $>18$ will be relevant and 18 cannot be written as a sum of 5s and 11s).

A: By orbit stabilizer theorem $|G/Stab(a)|=|O(a)|$
With this we know that orbit must divide f order of group  So only possibility is 1 . So there are 18 orbits

Sinn Féin East Derry MLA Francie Brolly has challenged local SDLP MLA John Dallat to come clean over the party's position on financial support for the Orange Order after that it emerged that despite Mr Dallat criticising the NI Events company for financially supporting the Orange Order that he along with SDLP colleagues on Coleraine Council voted to allocate £10,000 of ratepayers money towards local Orange Order events.
"When John Dallat says that it is inappropriate for the Events company to financially support Orange Order activities under the banner of tourism and that the money could be better spent elsewhere there is a certain amount of agreement between the SDLP and Sinn Fein.

Libertarianism and Classical Liberalism: A Short Introduction
Liberty is central to libertarians and classical liberals. It may be summarized as person, property, and consent, the individual's dominion that others are presumptively not to mess with.
Suppose your neighbor asserts that he is to get 25 percent of your income and brandishes a gun to show that he means business. Or, suppose he says you are not to employ people for less than a certain wage, or that you can hire only plumbers on his own special list of plumbers. We'd consider such a neighbor to be criminal in initiating such coercions. Libertarians and classical liberals say it's coercion when done by government, too.
Yes, government is a special sort of player in society; its coercions differ than those of criminals. Its coercions are overt, institutionalized, openly rationalized, even supported by a large portion of the public. They are called intervention or restriction or regulation or taxation, rather than extortion, assault, theft, or trespass. But, say libertarians, they are still initiations of coercion.
That is important, because recognizing it helps to sustain a presumption against government coercions, a presumption of liberty. Libertarians think that many extant interventions do not, in fact, meet the burden of proof for overcoming the presumption. Many interventions should be rolled back, repealed, abolished.
Thus libertarians and classical liberals favor liberalizing social affairs. That goes as general presumption: For business, work, and trade, but also for guns and for "social" issues, such as drugs, sex, speech, and voluntary association. It differentiates the libertarian from both the leftist who favors "economic" restrictions and the conservative who favors "moral" restrictions.
Libertarians and classical liberals favor smaller government. Government operations, such as schools, rely on taxes or privileges (and sometimes user fees). Even apart from the coercive nature of taxation, libertarians don't like the government's playing such a large role in social affairs, for its unhealthy moral and cultural effects. They favor school-choice reforms and lean against redistribution and the welfare state.
Libertarians can be radicals, believing in liberty as a sort of logos and axiom. Some ponder a pure-liberty destination. But libertarian is also suitable to describe an attitude that respects the status quo and yet looks to liberalize, a directional tendency to augment liberty, even if reforms are small or moderate. So libertarians can be moderate or radical, directional or destinational. They can bargain, or they can challenge.
Overall Liberty
Most libertarians and classical liberals recognize that sometimes liberty must be sacrificed for the sake of liberty. A policy that reduces liberty directly might augment liberty overall. Areas of contention among libertarians include immigration, foreign policy, weapons policy, pollution, and financial doings for which the taxpayer is on the hook.
Here, we might have a way to interpret some of the differences between libertarians and conservatives who also cherish liberty: Libertarians think conservatives overstate disagreement between direct and overall liberty, and conservatives think libertarians overstate agreement. Conservatives are often more favorable than libertarians to, say, restricting immigration or enhancing military spending.
Another important difference between libertarians and conservatives is that the word conservative functions widely as code for Republican. Conservatives feel more involved in the contest for power. Libertarians sometimes come across as theoreticians who don't concern themselves with the struggle for power and the process of actually making reforms. They are accused of being content to espouse liberalization yet failing to help bring them about. Libertarians respond by saying that insight and understanding are preconditions to reform, and that careful research and learning are crucial to wise leadership.
The principle of liberty has its holes, gray areas, and exceptions; it does not speak to all important issues of government; and it is not self-justifying. Despite the limitations, however, it remains cogent and gives backbone to libertarian and classical liberal thought.
Liberalism Unrelinquished
The first political meaning of the word liberal was launched in the 1770s, most notably by Adam Smith. But in the period 1880 to 1940, many English words lost or changed meanings, including the political term liberal. In the postwar period, classical liberal ideas enjoyed some reinvigoration, led by such figures as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, now sometimes fashioned as libertarian, notably by Murray Rothbard, who offered up a sort of paradigm of libertarianism.
But, again, the term libertarian functions as signification both for the more formulaic thinking of Murray Rothbard and for the less formulaic thinking of Hayek, Friedman, Richard Epstein, Deirdre McCloskey, and organizations such as the Foundation for Economic Education, Cato Institute, Reason, and several units at George Mason University.
America has an election system in which third parties are damaging to their own cause—that is, a two-party system. For this reason, many libertarians and classical liberals do not support the Libertarian Party. The smallness of the Libertarian Party should not be taken to mark the extent of libertarian sentiment.
Many libertarian sympathizers do not vote at all, vote Republican, or vote Democratic. Most libertarians think that Republicans are less bad than Democrats, but some libertarians think the opposite.

Server providers
================

Introduction
------------

Server providers in Rally are typically used by :ref:`deploy engines <deploy_engines>` to manage virtual machines necessary for OpenStack deployment and its following benchmarking. The key feature of server providers is that they provide a **unified interface** for interacting with different **virtualization technologies** (LXS, Virsh etc.) and **cloud suppliers** (like Amazon).

Every server provider should implement the following basic interface:

..

    **constructor**, which should take the **deployment** entity the provider should bind to and a **config** dictionary as its parameters;

..

    **create_servers(image_uuid, type_id, amount)**, which should create the requested number of virtual machines of the given type using a specific image. The method should also return the list of created servers wrapped in special Server entities.

..

    **destroy_servers()**, which should destroy all virtual machines previously created by the same server provider.

Below you will find a short but informative description of server providers implemented in Rally.

Available Server providers
--------------------------

ExistingServers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Description**

This provider does nothing, but returns endpoints from configuration. This may be useful if you have specific software/hardware configuration ready to deploy OpenStack.

**Configuration Example**

.. code-block:: none

   {
       "type": "DevstackEngine",
       "provider": {
           "type": "ExistingServers",
           "credentials": [{"user": "root", "host": "10.2.0.8"}]
       }
   }

VirshProvider
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Description**

This provider creates virtual machines on host provided by configuration.

**Configuration Examples**

Clone VM from pre-built template using virsh

.. code-block:: none

      {
           "type": "VirshProvider",
           "connection": "user@host.net",
           "template_name": "stack-01-devstack-template",
           "template_user": "ubuntu",
           "template_password": "password"
       }

LxcProvider
^^^^^^^^^^^

**Description**

This provider creates lxc containers on host provided by another provider. Container is attached to the same network as host.

Works well with ubuntu-13.10 hosts.

**Configuration Example**

.. code-block:: none

   {
           "type": "LxcProvider",

Returning to Venison
Venison remains an ecologically sound, safe source of protein.
Even as many consumers go meatless, the author promotes the whitetail as a tasty, nutritious and environmentally sustainable source of protein. Here he's enjoying venison ossobuco, a favorite dish. (Photo courtesy of Dr. James C. Kroll)
April 13, 2021 By Dr. James C. Kroll
As intensive agriculture pushed across North America following European settlement, wild meats became increasingly scarce. In fact, by the early 20th century most people had to rely on farming and ranching for food. Such staples as wild venison gave way to farm-raised beef, lamb and pork produced under confined conditions. Forests were indiscriminately replaced by croplands and managed pastures.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 200 years ago there were great bottomland forests extending over 30 million acres in the Southeast alone. Today, only about 40 percent of this region remains in productive forest ecosystems. In fact, over 400,000 acres of wetlands were converted to cropland just from 1965-75.
This largely resulted from the emergence of soybeans as a protein source, due in turn to lifestyle changes among urbanites. Vegetarianism appealed to an interesting mix of people: some opposed to using animals for food, others simply seeking cheaper protein.
Meanwhile, hunters declined as a percentage of the growing population. Opportunities to hunt became more limited by the emerging urban/technology lifestyle. Today there are only about 11 million deer hunters (3.35 percent of the U.S. population). Yet by my estimate, on average they annually harvest some 360 million pounds of venison.
Until recently, deer meat wasn't considered a gourmet food item in North America. But that's changed. My friend Mike Robinson's Outdoor Channel show Farming the Wild has been a hit, playing off the "locavore" movement: the desire to eat foods more naturally and locally produced.
Due in part to COVID-19, people are fleeing large metropolitan areas in search of a more rural lifestyle. I'm receiving calls weekly from folks wanting help in managing their newly acquired properties for wildlife. And producing deer meat for the table is squarely in their sights.
VENISON & THE ENVIRONMENT
Vegetarians often claim that eating plants is more "environmentally sound" than eating meat. I submit there's no evidence to support this claim, and particularly not in regard to wild venison. First, let's note that loss of forests to corn and soybean agriculture. Humans can't eat or digest the vast majority of the world's plants, and billions of people live where they can't hunt or gather their own nutritious foods. So modern farming practices are needed to feed all these mouths.
Faced with this shortage, agricultural scientists genetically modified corn and soybeans to be immune to certain herbicides. While this increased yields, the hidden costs of growing soybeans alone are staggering. They include greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution and heavy water consumption.
What about the recent craze for "fake meat?" Some of those products are made from soybeans. Others replace soybeans with peas and rice, but those crops have similar environmental costs.
Coming from an agricultural background and working with many fellow rural landowners, I understand the need for efficient farming and ranching. But in the face of issues such as those just described, we should promote venison as a healthy, environmentally responsible way to feed people.
A whitetail doe is unique among ruminants, in that she has the potential to wean more than her body weight annually. Here in East Texas, an average doe weighs about 100 pounds on the hoof, and the weaning weight of a fawn is about 60 pounds. If the doe weans both her fawns, that's 120 pounds. This is high-quality protein produced naturally and without substantial environmental cost.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS?
Ours has become an obese society, largely due to the consumption of too much unhealthy food. Red meat often is brought up as a primary culprit. Yet "red" is a broad term. When we analyze the composition of venison it comes out No. 1 over other red meats, including domesticated meats.
Venison is low in calories but high in protein, as well as B vitamins and zinc (which offers important immune function). This meat also has higher proportions of beneficial nutrients, with five times more omega-3 fatty acids than beef and the tightest omega-6:3 ratio of all meats, including chicken (2.2:1 for venison, 8.4:1 for chicken). Plus, venison contains high levels of conjugated linoleic acid, thought to have a positive effect on heart health and offer protection against cancer.
An intangible benefit to wild venison is the health benefits of the outdoor lifestyle, including exercise and improved mental health. So that's another reason the meat of North America's No. 1 big-game animal is a healthy alternative to "factory farm" sources of protein, including farmed fish.
IS VENISON SAFE TO EAT?
When properly butchered and prepared, venison has proven to be safer than livestock meats. None of the chemicals used in confined animal production show up in significant amounts in wild deer.
Concern that Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) could cross species barriers from deer into humans persists in the popular media. Every wildlife agency's website contains this cut-and-paste comment: "Although CWD has not been found in humans, avoid eating venison from an obviously sick animal.
First, who in their right mind would eat an "obviously sick" animal? Second, despite what you might have heard or read, no scientific, peer-reviewed study to date has reported CWD infection of a human.
How many pounds of venison have been eaten by humans since CWD was discovered in Colorado in the 1960s? My gross calculation is at least 18 billion pounds. Yet monitoring of the human equivalent of CWD, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, has shown no significant increase in cases in the 50 years since CWD's discovery.
So wild venison remains an ecologically sound, safe source of protein. When you harvest and process a whitetail, you know where the meat came from and how it was handled. Hunting is a healthy lifestyle yielding a host of societal benefits and delicious food for the table. Bon appétit!
