In this case, it was determined that medical information on strain potency and frequency of use was reasonable information requested by the employer in order to assess fitness for duty for a safety-sensitive employee with a cannabis prescription.
Danyluk was suspended with pay due to a breach of the company's Drug & Alcohol policy, Fitness For Duty Policy and the Mines Regulations 2003. The breach was a result of the prohibited nature of his current prescription. Danyluk filed a grievance and a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.
All documentation from the medical practitioners' files on his medical conditions treated by medical marijuana and treatment proposed or undertaken.
Should Danyluk's application for medical marijuana authorization be produced?
Should Danyluk's medical records pertaining to the conditions treated by medical marijuana, and the treatment proposed or undertaken, be produced?
It was ruled that the employer was not permitted to Danyluk's complete medical diagnosis. They were permitted to information relating to fitness for duty such as treatment options, strain potency, the frequency of use, alternative treatments appropriate and/or recommended by the physician.
Employers are not entitled to receive medical records regarding medical diagnoses.
Employers are not entitled to an employee's authorization for medical marijuana where this contains sensitive information about the underlying medical condition.
The employer, in this case, was granted access to strain potency, frequency of use of medical marijuana and alternate treatment options.

Hall v. Incorporated Society of Law Agents Court of Sessions (1901)
Employment discrimination, Gender discrimination
Margaret Hall appealed to the Court of Sessions regarding the decision of the Society of Law Agents in Scotland to deny her permission to take the preliminary examination for the Society. Hall argued that she should be given permission because the statute permitted "persons" to become law agents and so, by its terms, did not exclude women. The Society had found that women did not have a legal right to practice law given that "[a]ccording to inveterate usage and custom in Scotland, that practice has in all departments of the law been hitherto confined exclusively to men." Upon Hall's appeal, the Court of Sessions also refused to grant her permission because the statute did not explicitly include women, even though it did not explicitly exclude them either. In support of its decision, the court stated that the word "persons" had to be interpreted according to its customary usage; because women had been ineligible to become law agents when the statute was enacted in 1873, the court found the customary usage of "persons" to mean "male persons" and accordingly refused Hall's appeal.

Our honeymoon was fantastic, we loved every moment of it; we loved South Africa, Zambia and Mauritius. We've never been in Africa before, and now we fell in love with it. We'll came back as soon as we can and I'm sure you will assist us again.
I must say, that the most beautiful part of our trip was the visit to Zambia, and it was surely because of the complete pack of activities that you recommended and reserved to us.
So, as you can see, we're really satisfied with your work. Thank you very much and if we return to Africa (I'm sure we will), we will contact with you.

Q: adding callback to function - always I found myself using a weird way to add callback functions to my functions and I was wondering if there is a more generic way to add callbacks to functions, best case I would have a situation where all of my functions check the last given param for being a function and if so use it as a callback.
This is how I did it in the past:
var myFunc = function( obj ) {

  if ( arguments.length > 0 ) {
    if ( _.util.typeofObj( arguments[arguments.length-1] ) === Function ) {
      var callback = arguments[arguments.length-1];
    }
  }

  // some code ...

  if ( callback !== undefined ) {
    callback();
  }

};

var foo = myFunc( myObj, function(){
  alert( 'Callback!' );
});

Any suggestions?

A: Not sure what you are trying to do here, but a way to add a callback that seems more straight forward:
function( obj, callback ) {
   if(callback) {
      callback();
   }
}

A: You could, if you really want to, extend Function.prototype with a .cb prototype.  Something like:
Function.prototype.cb = function(cb){
   var self = this;
   return function(){
      self.callback = cb || function(){};
      self.apply(self, arguments);
   }
}

then your code would compress to:
var myFunc = function(obj){
   // some code

   this.callback(); // callback will always be defined
}

and the call would slightly change:
myFunc.cb(function(){
   // callback code
})(myObj);

Just an idea.  You can make the syntax pretty much whatever you want.

A: I prefer a formal parameter:
var myFunc = function(obj, callback) {
   ...
}

This way it makes it obvious that there is a callback. You also don't have to mess around with the arguments object; you can just check to see if callback is undefined, and then check to see if it is of the appropriate type (Function).

Threads is an ongoing exploration involving painting, time-lapse photography, and video. In the painting process, thin stripes or 'threads' of latex paint are thrown across a slightly inclined surface. A programmed camera records the painting process at regular intervals (6-12 shots per minute). As gravity begins to act on the viscous accumulations of paint, the colours interact with and affect one another. This movement is too slow to perceive well in real time, but when the photos taken over a period of several hours are combined into a video, the static paint comes to life as a moving cascade of colour. The 'threads' become actors in an abstract narrative.
In some of these experiments, the surface used is actually loose canvas draped over an uneven surface instead of a flat one. Viewed from above by the camera, the contours are imperceptible until the liquid paint begins to build up and gravity slowly forces it to travel downwards, revealing the hills and valleys of this temporary topography. The canvas itself, dried and stripped of this topography by being stretched flat, still tells the story of the paint's movement. These canvases form a series called "Relief Release," while the paint that travels down off the canvas is collected and poured onto new flat surfaces to form the "Runoff" series.
Below are the first three videos in the "Threads" series.

Steve Miller Band Bingo! 180g Vinyl LP
In 2018, the legendary Steve Miller Band's Complete Albums Volume 1 (1968-1976) debuted as an unprecedented and acclaimed 180g 9LP box set. The collection's second volume presents nine more Steve Miller Band studio albums in the companion 180g 9LP box set, Complete Albums Volume 2 (1977-2011). Spanning the band's multi-platinum tenth studio effort, 1977's Book of Dreams, through 2011's Let Your Hair Down, all nine albums have been newly remastered and will also be available individually on 180g vinyl.
One of the world's most commercially successful and acclaimed artist/bands in the history of popular music, Steve Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late 60s and by the early '70s had crafted a brand of pure pop that was polished, exciting and irresistible. Hit followed hit in what seemed like an endless flow and to this day, his songs are instantly recognizable when they come on the radio, their hooks the very definition of indelible.
After a seventeen year hiatus, Steve Miller and Co. returned on Roadrunner Records with the dually recorded albums, Bingo! (2010) and Let Your Hair Down (2011). The former was dedicated to Norton Buffalo (who performed and recorded as a member of band for over 32 years) and features festive covers of material by B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Reed, and Jimmie Vaughan.

Drones Changing The Legal Landscape
By: Susan T. Roberts
This past Christmas you may have unwrapped a present from under your Christmas tree that can fly. Did you get a drone? These gadgets are relatively new but concern is growing that they have the potential to violate privacy, dangerously interfere with large aircraft and generally cause mischief. Although they can be lots of fun, drones can also land people in trouble.
The term "drone" refers to a variety of flying devices that are controlled with either onboard computers or remotely with a handheld remote, computer or smart phone. Also called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), drones can be small toys or large industrial or military aircraft. Consumer or personal drones are played with as children's toys, enjoyed by flying hobbyists and even deployed in competitive flying and racing. They are commonly used for recreational filming or in industries such as farming or mining to view terrain or crops. People are captivated by the limitless uses of flying both personal and commercial drones. However, with the sale of over 2 million drones in the United States last year, the rules surrounding the operation of drones have become a point of focus for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), leading it to adopt regulations in 2016 to minimize the risks to other aircraft, people and property on the ground.
You do not need permission from the FAA to fly your drone for fun or recreation but there are certain requirements that apply to flying a drone outdoors. Before you fly outside, you must register your drone with the FAA at https://registermyuas.faa.gov/ if your drone weighs more than .55 pounds and less than 55 pounds. (A camera attached to a drone is included in the calculation of its overall weight.) You must also label your drone with your registration number. Registration is $5.00 and is valid for three years. Criminal penalties for flying a drone without registering are a maximum jail sentence of 3 years or the imposition of fines up to $250,000.00. A person must be 13 years of age or older to fly a drone or, if the drone owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the drone. You must also be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident to fly a drone.
Many areas of the country ban the use of drones so be sure to do your research before you fly. The FAA rules currently prohibit flying your personal drone above 400 feet and prohibit you from letting it out of your sight. There are also prohibitions on flying drones near airports or populated areas such as a stadium. Many cities and towns are also adopting ordinances to regulate the domestic use of drones.
As drone use grows, so have privacy and safety concerns. Personal drones can go where satellite and other cameras cannot. Existing nuisance and invasion-of-privacy statutes apply to drone owners but some states are trying to strengthen their protections. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives approved a bill in 2016 to criminalize the use of drones for the surveillance of people in private places. The bill calls for up to three months in jail and a $300.00 fine for first-time offenders. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for consideration and will likely become law in 2017. Most state statutes that address drone flight are carefully worded to focus on a drone's ability to capture images because states cannot control where drones fly, that is up to the FAA. However, some people have taken measures to protect their privacy by shooting down prying drones. In light of such self-help measures, the FAA has interpreted relevant federal law to confirm that it is a federal crime to shoot down an aircraft, including drones.
We will all have to decide how we respect each other's privacy now that we can fly a camera into someone's backyard. The challenge is to find the right balance between access to the skies and the right to privacy.

The World Federation of Trade Unions, gathering in its ranks more than 92 million workers in 126 countries all over the world, follows the recent developments concerning the withdrawal of the U.S.A. from the international nuclear agreement on the nuclear program of Iran and the announcement of new economic sanctions against Iran by the U.S.A. The U.S.A. once more uses false pretexts in order to exploit the natural resources of other countries and to serve the interests of national large monopoly groups.
These actions, combined with the missile attack of Israel against Syria on May 10, are a new form of aggression against the peoples of the Middle East that put them at great risk and further destabilize the situation in the region.
We call on the workers, the ordinary people of the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East to strengthen their struggle against the imperialist plans and interventions that cause wars and misery to the peoples for the profits of the imperialists.

Cunningham Named Head Coach and GM
by zmcginniss
May 2, 2021 August 3, 2021
The Norwich Sea Captains are proud to announce Kevin Cunningham as the first Head Coach and General Manager of the franchise. A dedicated teacher of the game, Cunningham has coached in a variety of settings during his career. These opportunities have helped him develop a strong coaching skill set focused on a positive player experience, maximizing development and ultimately promoting his players to the next step on their athletic and academic journeys. Coach Cunningham strives to create an environment which will allow his teams to play fast, aggressive and entertaining hockey. Practices run at a high tempo and are focused on individual skill development as well as situation and system play. In games, the Sea Captains will play as a team with speed, energy and intelligence, making the game difficult for their opponents.
Coach Cunningham comes to Norwich from the Danbury Jr Hat Tricks, where he compiled a 47-37-1-4 record over the past two seasons, finishing both regular seasons earning home ice advantage in the Fraser Cup Playoffs after back-to-back second places finishes in their division. Under his tutelage, thirteen Danbury players committed to college programs, seven of them at the NCAA Division II/III level, while maintaining a high level of academic success. He also had three players sign NAHL Tenders and one selected in the NAHL Draft during his two season in Danbury.
Prior to Danbury, Cunningham led Connecticut Chiefs, where he served as the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) team's Head Coach and General Manager during their inaugural season in 2018-19. The Chiefs put together a solid season, developing a positive team culture and competing with the EHL's top teams consistently using structured, team-focused strategies. Chiefs players earned numerous EHL Player of the Week honors and captain Zach Withington was named to the EHL New England Conference Second Team as a forward. Most importantly, four Chiefs alumni advanced NCAA Division III hockey in the fall of 2019 and an additional five will continue their hockey careers at the American Collegiate Hockey Association level. Six other members of that team have subsequently made NCAA DIII commitments.
Prior to his stint with the Chiefs, Coach Cunningham coached at Cheshire Academy, Connecticut College and Wesleyan University since relocating to Connecticut in 2010. During his time at Connecticut College numerous players earned in-season and post-season New England Small Conference (NESCAC) honors. He also recruited and coached a NESCAC Rookie of the Year while at Wesleyan. Coach Cunningham gained valuable experience as the Director of Hockey for the New Jersey Selects hockey program and New Jersey Colonials Girls' Hockey Director after posts as an assistant coach on the women's hockey staffs at The Ohio State University, Providence College and Brown University. He currently serves on the Player Development staff for the Rocky Mountain and Southeast Districts of USA Hockey and has previously held similar roles with the Atlantic and New England Districts.

Editors' Picks: Our Top College Towns
College towns can get a bad rep, but our staff's picks are rich in culture, entertainment and -- most importantly -- have food worth leaving campus for.
Centered around Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), there's no question that Savannah is an eclectic town with a never-ending supply of culture. But aside from its rich Southern history and gorgeous antebellum architecture, its home to the (too?) rich home cooking of Paula Deen at The Lady & Sons, an ever-rotating selection of craft brews at The Distillery and the decadent pralines at River Street Sweets. And if that's not enough, the beach at Tybee Island is only 30 minutes away.
Washington isn't all politics. With nine colleges and universities, the capital is also a large college town, with a seriously diverse range of neighborhoods. U Street beckons with Ben's Chili Bowl, and Georgetown is a great place for a pre-exam sugar high, courtesy of Georgetown Cupcake. A sports fix is also within easy reach, thanks to D.C.'s and the surrounding area's major sports arenas: Verizon Center, Nationals Park, RFK Stadium and FedEx Field. But nothing beats the National Mall, the 2.5-mile-long stretch of green where you can enjoy everything from a game of soccer to an outdoor "screen on the green" movie.
OK, so Boston isn't exactly a "town"… but with an estimated 250,000 college students and some 80 colleges and universities, the city sometimes feels like one giant campus quad. Boston is a city with a lot of history and even more pride -– anyone who's ever been to a Sox game can attest to that. Just be sure to avoid the city come September 1st… Boston's notorious "moving day," when a mass influx of students pick up the keys to their new apartments and head back to college.
Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
The Twin Cities is home to more than a half dozen colleges and universities, including the University of Minnesota's main campus. Go Golden Gophers! There's always something to do when studying isn't a priority. Head to TCF Bank Stadium to catch a Gophers game, Target Field to see the Twins play or U.S. Bank Stadium to watch the Vikings score. Visit the Weisman Art Museum, West Bank, Guthrie Theater and the Walker Art Center. Sample tasty cuisine at the hip Loring Pasta Bar and Annie's Parlor in Dinkytown. And explore the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Falls and Lake Calhoun to witness the area's natural beauty.
Chapel Hill, N.C.
Known as "The Southern Part of Heaven" and home to the University of North Carolina Tarheels, Chapel Hill's main strip -- Franklin Street – is the place for tailgating after parties, first-date dinners at Top of the Hill, boutique shops and Sunday strolls. As the University continues to grow and expand, so does the surrounding area: adding new shops, delis and inns to the already popular downtown Chapel Hill.
Morgantown, W.V.
Nestled in the beautiful mountains of north-central West Virginia and along the banks of the Monongahela River, Morgantown is home to the West Virginia University (WVU) Mountaineers. Students and visitors enjoy outdoor adventure all year long with nearby rafting, hiking and skiing. Named "Best Party School in the United States" by the Princeton Review in 2012, WVU is infamous for its off-campus parties and post-game celebrations held on Sunnyside's Grant Avenue. A Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system connects the University's three campuses and makes game-day tailgating at Mountaineer Field both easy and safe.
Where else can students wake up, go for a quick hike, stop by campus for a class, and hit the slopes by the afternoon? Even if outdoor activities aren't your thing, there's something for you. Go for a stroll down Pearl Street, a pedestrian mall lined with shops, world-class restaurants and fire-juggling street performers. No matter what you do here, there's a good chance your activity of choice will be set against the stunning backdrop of the Colorado rockies.
You may think of the University of Georgia as a typical southern school -- and in many ways it is -- but Athens, isn't a typical college town. The historic downtown has fostered artists, hipsters and musicians such as R.E.M. and the B-52s. And if you look beyond the frat houses in the neighborhood of Five Points, you'll find old Georgia mansions and upscale restaurants.
You gotta take in the view of the Bay Area from atop the 307-foot-tall Sather Tower, in the heart of Berkeley's campus. Once you descend, your next mandatory stop is Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley's lively commercial strip with local attractions like the historic Fox Oakland Theatre. Want to see an outdoor show? Head to the 8,500-seat Greek Theatre. Keep the outdoor fun going -- pony and carousel rides, anyone? -- at Tilden Regional Park. Like any A-list college town, Berkeley is big on sports, with nearly a dozen sports facilities that cater to track and field, soccer, field hockey, water polo and more.
Madison is Wisconsin's capital city, and it's also one of the largest cities in the Dairy State. According to Forbes magazine, Madison ranks 16th in education and falls in the top 50 list of cities with the highest number of Ph.D.s per capita. The city is home to few colleges and one university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Aside from hitting the books, students and locals can enjoy fun, local activities, which include checking out a concert on Capitol Square, taking a swim in Lake Mendota or visiting the Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
Located in the middle of four major cities in Arizona (Mesa, Gilbert, Phoenix and Scottsdale), Tempe is known as one of the more diverse cities in the state. Step right out of the classroom into the beautiful Arizona sun. The number of pools is endless, the sunbathing is top notch and the mountainous scenery with palm trees lining the streets isn't too shabby either. Arizona State's campus is highlighted by dozens of bars and restaurants that line Mill Avenue. And that's not all, a 5-minute ride down the road will land you right in the heart of downtown Scottsdale.

Caldwell The Border Queen
"The Border Queen City" title was given to Caldwell as she was the first sign of civilization on the dusty Chisholm Trail after herding Texas longhorns up through Indian Territory. A town sprung in 1871 to accommodate the needs of the weary cowboy. Gambling, saloons, dance halls were all bustling, and keeping a marshal alive proved tough work. Caldwell sits on the border on Hwy 81 between Wichita and OKC. The vintage limestone buildings mark the downtown district as restaurants and community activities enliven the space with a Chisholm Trail Fest in the May and the Sumner County Fair in August. Excellent schools and a fiber-enriched town provide a young, progressive atmosphere to start a business and raise a family.

Risk Matters: Wrong-Site, Wrong-Procedure, and Wrong-Patient Surgery
By Jeffrey A. Woods, JD
Director of Risk Education, SVMIC
Few medical errors are as indefensible as those involving patients who have undergone surgery on the wrong body part, undergone the incorrect procedure, or had a procedure performed that was intended for another patient. These "wrong-site, wrong-procedure, wrong-patient errors" (WSPEs) are termed "never events" by the National Quality Forum and "sentinel events" by the Joint Commission– errors that should never occur and indicate serious underlying safety problems. In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will not reimburse hospitals for any costs associated with WSPEs. Yet, these "never events" continue to occur.
The official website of the Department of Health & Human Services, in an article updated September 2019, noted that although one seminal study indicated that such errors occur in approximately 1 of 112,000 surgical procedures, that estimate only included procedures performed in the operating room; if procedures performed in other settings (ambulatory surgery centers and interventional radiology suites, for example) are included, the rate would be significantly higher. A study conducted using Veteran Affairs data found that fully half of the WSPEs occurred during procedures outside the operating room.
Root cause analyses of WSPEs consistently reveal communication issues as a prominent underlying factor. The Joint Commission's Universal Protocol attempts to address these communication issues through redundant mechanisms for verification of the correct site, procedure, and patient as well as site marking, checklists, and "timeouts." However, even when Universal Protocols are implemented, errors can still happen well before the patient reaches the operating room, a timeout is rushed, or production pressures contribute to errors during the procedure itself. As the above-cited article points out, ultimately, preventing WSPEs depends on a combination of system solutions, strong teamwork, a safety culture, and individual vigilance.

"Hyena Road" was known to us as Route Fosters during our deployment when it was still just a dirt road that had IEDs every 100 meters. My first dismounted patrol in Afghanistan was actually the first patrol ever to scout ground for Hyena Road's construction in 2008. This was during the initial conceptualization of having a paved road to connect the four isolated COPs (30 man Combat Outposts) spread along the Arghandab River.
When I first heard that a film was being made about my old stomping grounds in Panjwai, Kandahar, I was pretty excited. I expected that whoever had decided to take on the responsibility of telling our story would be sure to do it right. Then I read the synopsis, and watched the trailer.
I truly hope that this film finds a way to honor our brothers who gave their lives in the villages near Sperwan, Haji, Zangabad, Talukan, and Mushan, but if this trailer is any representation of the finished film, I have my doubts.
Gross only spent 2 weeks in Afghanistan where he gathered 60 hours of b-roll footage. Some of this time was also spent at FOB Sperwan Ghar, which was used to support the COPs spread out along the Arghandab river in Panjwai where the majority of the fighting was happening for us. The rest of the research was done through interviews with veterans who served in that AO.
From what the trailer shows, I fear that this is going to be an overly dramatic made-for-tv movie, with a cast of C list actors that aren't prepared to portray soldiers in the middle of our war zone accurately or respectfully. I hope I'm wrong.


"BMW fields its first baby SUV with a spinoff of its new 1-Series compact car. With smooth 6-cylinder power, available all-wheel drive, and "ultimate driving machine" cachet, it could be the new star of a fast-growing market class.
Premium compact SUVs are popping up everywhere, so much so that Consumer Guide has put them into a class of their own, separate from lower-priced models at mainstream brands. BMW's X3 helped plow this field a few years back. Acura has since weighed in with the RDX, the Infiniti EX was new for 2008, and Lexus is said to be prepping a contender, likely based on parent Toyota's RAV4. New for 2009 are the Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLK.
All this new competition poses a big challenge for the X3, which is one of the larger compact SUVs. Because of that, and in line with an announced expansion of its model line, BMW has confirmed a new X1 to slot below the X3 in size and price. The new baby-Bimmer SUV will be based on the company's 1-Series compact car.
Dimensionally, the X1 will be visibly smaller than the X3, Acura RDX, and Infiniti EX, but close in size to the Land Rover LR2. X1 will also be lighter than the X3, so it should be just as quick, if not quicker, and probably more agile too. Of course, it won't be as roomy as its bigger brother, but it should be adequate for four adults and maybe a week's worth of luggage.
Despite its lower pricing, the 2011 BMW X1 should come with all the standard features expected from this brand. That means antilock brakes, traction/antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags.
All import brands are fighting to hold the price line against a weaker dollar, so BMW will be extra picky in deciding X1 standard content. On the other hand, most BMW buyers don't skimp with options, so the baby SUV should list most of the major goodies available for the X3. These include the inevitable Sport Package with firm suspension and upsized wheels and tires, navigation system (bringing with it BMW's irksome iDrive controller), rear-obstacle detection, rear side airbags, and amenities like leather upholstery, heated seats, high-end audio, and steering-linked headlamps. While none of these features are notable nowadays, especially for a premium brand, we wouldn't be surprised if BMW came up with some gee-whiz exclusive for the X1, though we have no idea what that might be."

"Rolls-Royce has announced at the Shanghai auto show that its new Bentley Continental–fighting sedan, which was previewed by the 200EX concept at the 2009 Geneva auto show and has been known only as the RR4, will be called the Ghost. Production will commence later this year at the company's Goodwood plant in the U.K., and European deliveries will begin shortly after. Sales in the U.S. and Asia will wait until the second quarter of 2010. Base price for the Ghost here will be $245,000, plus taxes and delivery.
Rolls also announced final specifications for the new car. The 6.6-liter turbocharged V-12 will pump out 563 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque and will mate to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph is said to take 4.8 seconds, and the top speed will be governed at 155 mph. Likely to be shown in production trim at the Frankfurt auto show in September, the 2010 Ghost will slot below the current Phantom range and gives Rolls-Royce a more attainable model to compete against the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, as well as the upcoming 2010 Aston Martin Rapide. At 212.6 inches long—with a 129.7-inch wheelbase—76.7 inches wide, and 61 inches tall, the new Rolls is slightly longer and taller than the Bentley, but a smidge narrower. The Continental lineup also includes GT coupe and GTC convertible versions, and we expect two-door and droptop iterations of the Ghost to launch after the sedan.
Rolls-Royce CEO Tom Purves said the Ghost name is fitting for the new model because it evokes a sense of "adventure and technical innovation," as well as "flair and style." The latter elements shouldn't be an issue, as the Ghost will share the Goodwood plant's paint, wood, and leather workshops with the Phantom (vehicle assembly will be handled by a separate production line). Stay tuned for more details closer to the unveiling."

Q: Is it possible to directly derive the $K$ matrix for a topological order described by a gauge-theory Hamiltonian? To be concrete, Let us consider a $Z_2$ gauge theory in the deconfined phase coupled to matter field,
\begin{align}
S_{Z_2}=\beta\sum_{\vec r\mu}\phi(\vec r)U_\mu(\vec r)\phi(\vec r+\vec e_{\mu}) + K \sum_{\vec r \mu\nu}\left[U_\mu(\vec r)U_{\nu}(\vec r +\vec e_{\mu})U_\mu(\vec r+\vec e_{\nu})U_{\nu}(\vec r )\right]
\end{align}
where $\vec r$ is defined on a cubic spacetime lattice, $U=\pm 1$ is a $Z_2$ gauge field and $\phi$ is a matter field.
It is easy to show that this model has toric-code topological order, with $e$ and $m$ anyons with nontrivial mutual statistics.
Its effective theory is described by a Chern-Simons theory
\begin{align}
S_{CS}=\frac{K_{IJ}}{4\pi}\int a^I\wedge da^J + a^I J_I,
\end{align}
where $a^I$ are emergent gauge fields, $K=\begin{bmatrix}0&2\\2&0\end{bmatrix}$ and $J_I$ are currents of the anyonic excitations.
The way I learned this is that $S_{CS}$ is constructed by "reverse engineering" to capture the correct statistics of the anyons.
However, since both $S_{Z_2}$ and $S_{CS}$ are gauge theories,  is it possible to derive $S_{CS}$ from $S_{Z_2}$ through some RG procedures?

Keepsake, an experimental short film by Callum Linden.
This film won Best Experimental Film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Next Wave Jump Cuts Filmmakers Showcase.
This film was done for a film project, for film school. The purpose of the project, was to find an object that had great meaning to myself, and through my film, I had to show that the object I chose wasn't only an inanimate object, but something more. I had to change the viewer's opinion on my object, changing it from their view of it being just the object, to my personal view by subjectifying it, and showing what my object means to me. The film had to have 70% of it's footage as the object, and the other 30% could be extra narrative elements to help enhance the story.
The object I chose to subjectify was an old Minolta X-700 SLR. The camera belongs to my father, and he has had it for about 30 years. The camera has captured many moments in his life, mine, and my family's. Looking back on the camera which is now no longer in use, it reminds my father and I of many past events, fun times, and memories. Through my film, I tried to show that this camera, to me, isn't just a camera, but an object that holds these memories, and all of them built up together can be thought of as my life. With the camera, metaphorically, being my life, each roll of film can be thought of as a chapter within my life, and each picture taken, can be thought of as a memory.
In my film, I decided to start with a distorted shot of my camera, to show my birth, followed by footage of a roll of film being placed into the camera, showing the first chapter of my life beginning. Throughout the film, I showed old footage of my childhood, and showed the camera capturing these moments as memories. As the film neared the end, I showed the camera hitting the last picture in the roll of film. This represented a chapter of my life ending, waiting to be replaced by a new one. The video of the camera zooming out of the SLR and the film pieces all around it, showed that as I move on through the chapters of my life, these memories become fragmented and slowly fade away.

Kathmandu: The World Bank has approved $253 million (Rs997 crore) in grants for Nepal's infrastructure development in an effort to boost the peace process in the Himalayan nation.
It is the largest ever approval by the World Bank as a support package for Nepal. The package is aimed to improve access to basic and primary education, enhance irrigation, expand rural roads, and improve living conditions, livelihoods, and empowerment among the rural poor.
"We all know that peace is needed for development. But in Nepal we also know that development is needed for peace," said Praful Patel, vice president, World Bank, South Asia.
He said addressing the root causes of the conflict will be key to ensuring lasting peace in Nepal. "Rather than say we will wait and see, we have stressed in our dialogue that reinforcing the peace through development is a more inspiring message for the people of Nepal who are demanding positive change," Patel was quoted as saying by the World Bank.
The new support package doubles the amount of development resources currently available from the World Bank to Nepal.
Briefing the Executive Directors of the World Bank Group and their Advisors, Patel, said the grant programme intends to support implementation of a development programme that enjoys the backing of the partners in the coalition government in their efforts to sustain the peace and to build a new Nepal.
The grants are from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's concessionary lending arm, the statement said.

NEPALI PLAYER SANDEEP LAMICHHANE SHINES IN INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL)
Sandip Lamichhane is a special mention who made his debut in IPL 2018 F with opener bowler FOR Delhi daredevils against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He bowled to batsman Virat Kohli, India's Cricket Captain. In second over he took LBW (Leg before Wicket) against the opener batsman Parthiv Patel. In four overs of bowling he took one wicket and twenty five runs. It was the best economy of that match.
Sandip got chance to debut after 45 matches which took one and a half months. Sandip Lamichhane is second youngest player of the IPL season. Sandip finds IPL is a platform that can help you grow and create lots of opportunities to show your talent. Sandeep's coach Ricky ponting handed him a cap and he played well and didn't disappoint his coach.
Lamichhane trained at Michael Clarke's cricket academy in Sydney as a teenager. He believes staying honest to yourself and focus on performance will make you and your team win big time. He has definitely brought hope and new beginnings to Nepal. Recently, Indian Primeminister Narendra Modi mentioned that Sandip Lamichhane making his way in the IPL has opened their relations between two neighbouring Countries Nepal and India, through games while he was on his visit to Nepal from the invitation of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli.

Greek housing 'laid to rest'
Meghan Parmentier and Marissa Himbele
"The prospect of Greek housing has recently been laid to rest," said Louis Venturelli, Student Government Association president.
Courtney McKenna, assistant director of student center & campus life and Greek life advisor, confirmed this.
McKenna and Residence Hall Director Chris Rader headed a committee that conducted a student survey on the potential of Greek housing this past summer. According to Venturelli, the option is no longer under consideration due to lack of interest from current students.
A campus student advisory committee including representatives from nine areas of student leadership on campus started the discussion of Greek housing while looking into the promotion of four years of university housing.
Dr. Manuel Carreiro has served as vice president and dean of student affairs at Quinnipiac for 28 years, handling all student-related activities including housing.
"We decided we could offer Greek housing to the seniors, particularly by utilizing the Townhouses," Carreiro said.
The idea was for a Greek organization to have its own townhouse where its members could live. Seniors would be eligible. Carreiro let the advisory committee take the initiative with the idea's progression and accepted their decision once they conducted the survey and the option was eliminated.
"My approach to these issues is I like student leaders to go through this process," Carreiro said. "They did a great job at it and got everyone involved with it so I thought overall the students did a great job to come to a conclusion at this point in time that it was not something they would be interested in."
Though not a state regulation, Carreiro said there is a local law that no more than four unrelated students can live together in a house. Carreiro attributed this and similar laws existing in towns with college campuses to why less Greek housing is found in the Northeast than other regions of the United States. He ensured this does not apply to college housing because of the personnel, supervision and programs offered.
Matt Hudak, vice president of public relations for Student Government Association, vice president of recruitment for the Interfraternity Council and member of Quinnipiac's Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter, participated in the process of evaluating Greek housing as an option.
"This has been an initiative for a while now, so upon receiving some interest in Greek housing, IFC and Pan-Hel, along with Greek Life's advisor, Courtney McKenna, proceeded to do legitimate research through a recent survey to the Greek community," Hudak said. "We were able to come to the conclusion that the idea of Greek housing is not something most Greek members seek for their already-enriching Greek experience here at Quinnipiac University."
The feedback was assessed by both governing bodies of the Greek organizations during meetings and summer training to guarantee the wishes of Quinnipiac's Greek life constituents were completely understood and represented accurately, Hudak explained.
"The Student Government Association trusts the decision of the governing bodies of the Greek organizations, the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council, who, after valid student-based research and analysis, have chosen to not move forward with this initiative for the time being," Class of 2012 President Andrew McDermott said.
Delta Tau Delta member Joseph LoRusso participated in the survey over the summer, but disagreed with the results.
"I think a housing option would allow Greek Life to gain a stronger presence on campus and would provide Greek Life members a better environment to strive for lives of excellence," said LoRusso, a junior sociology major..
"I think it's good to have your sorority sisters together," freshman Haley Phelan, who's looking into Greek life, said. "Living in a closer community fulfills the sisterhood."

It's so sad how biased you all are who were against this idea. If it were a sports team would all feel the same way? I don't think so.
https://quchronicle.com/9631/news/greek-housing-%e2%80%98laid-to-rest%e2%80%99/#comment-25396
bobcat58 • Oct 25, 2010 at 11:08 am
This would of been a disaster had Quinnipiac gone through with this. Considering the drama that QU encounters with the housing process, the idea of reserving certain housing for one organization is asinine. Sure we don't have Greek Life Housing…oh well, not the rest of the student bodys problem. I don't live on campus anymore, but if had this gone through I would of been the first in the door to protest it. If the Greek Life organizations would like to assist in financing housing for themselves through Quinnipiac by all means go ahead with it, but unless they are paying a share for these buildings to be built they should not get to dwell there.
Good job QU on not making a poor decision.
QUGreek • Nov 16, 2010 at 9:23 pm
bobcat58, I may have left out a key point. Housing for Greek organizations is traditionally a cost financed and incorporated in local dues. So I would personally not expect or want Quinnipiac to just fork over luxurious housing for no extra cost- THAT would be unjust special treatment.
QUGreek • Oct 22, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Just a few things. 1. Good luck to you if you think the Townhouses are nicer than the soon-to-be Eastview. I live in the Townhouses this year, Eastview is going to be a blessing for the next senior class. 2. I'd be curious to know your opinion of wellness housing if you think designated group living areas for people of a common group is "special treatment." Wellness housing offers an area for people of common interest to live together, how is Greek housing any different?
FYI we're one of the minority of schools in the country that DOESN'T offer Greek housing, and technically that is depriving us of an experience that comes with being Greek. Most national Greek organizations actually have a separate division dealing with housing as a part of the brotherhood or sisterhood. I personally was opposed to the usage of the townhouses as Greek housing because of it's sheer lack of purpose. If Greek housing was to ever be offered it should be an off-campus house for each organization owned by Quinnipiac. Utilizing senior residence halls is a small step in the right direction but still falling short of the true idea of Greek housing.
Cy Walpole • Oct 24, 2010 at 7:22 pm
QUGreek,
The school isn't "depriving" you of any experience that you may think you are entitled to as someone who chose the Greek college experience at Quinnipiac.
The state of Greek life at Quinnipiac was well established when you chose the school, and there are other significant Greek-Life colleges in New England that might have been a better fit for you.
It would be acceptable (and admirably ambitious) of you to fight for changes at Quinnipiac, which you feel will improve the college experience, but I think it is disingenuous to suggest that Greek housing is a right that the school is depriving you.
Jennifer • Oct 21, 2010 at 12:36 pm
I'm sorry, Joseph LoRusso, but if there's one thing Quinnipiac does not need, it's Greek Life gaining a stronger presence on campus. Greek Life is more than fine the way it is, it should not be taking over the entire school. Being a member of Greek Life does not entitle you to receive special perks like separate housing (especially when the townhouses are so much nicer and larger than Eastview as a senior housing option). It's fine if you want to go Greek and enjoy that brother or sisterhood, but that should not be something that affects the rest of us who chose not to go Greek.
Andrew • Oct 22, 2010 at 11:51 am
Jennifer what Joey said, was not necessarily comparing the current situation here, but more so comparing our situation to the situation at other institutions. The fact of the matter is, that Quinnipiac wouldn't have to try to offer this potential housing/loop hole, if Hamden (and most of New England) didn't have backward laws preventing Fraternities and Sororities from having houses.

New criteria required to define LV dilatation !
Human heart is a compact elastic organ . We know elasticity is lost when it is stretched beyond a point.This is what happens in dilated cardiomyopathy .When the heart muscle fibers stretch too long from the baseline it loses its ability to contract and relax efficiently.In fact , after a cut of point even if it comes the original length the elastic fibers are fractured and suffer from irreversible damage.
Among the systolic vs diastolic dimension it is the diastolic dimension that becomes important in defining dilatation.
When do you say a ventricle is dilated?
Any of the above can be right.
The normal human ventricle measures between 35 to 55mm in diastole .
Currently accepted definition for enlargement of heart is EDD of 56 mm and above. Some believe in a more strict criteria of 60mm.
A man with 35mm EDD can increase 20mm ( ie 60 % ) from of his baseline and still be labeled as normal LV dimension ! . If the above patient is destined to develop dilated cardiomyopathy his heart would begin its final journey slowly but surely ( from 35 mm ! ) . So , according to current criteria we can diagnose DCM only after it travels the half way towards hell . What a way to define DCM ! Be cautious LV dimensions can fool you . . .
If the EF is low and symptoms develop early , one may recognise the above entity ( at least erroneously !) as non dilated cardiomyopathy or RCM.
We need to stress the importance of baseline LV dimension in defining DCM . It is proposed from this site , an increase of 25 % and above from baseline can be included as an additional criteria for LV dilatation . This could help us understand the early muscle dynamics in DCM.
How to diagnose early DCM ?
When does the EF begins to decline in DCM ?
What is the relation between EDD and EF %?
Is there a overlap between non dilated cardiomyopathy , RCM and early phase of DCM ?
The conundrum called cardiomyopathy ! How is DCM different from RCM ,NDCM and MDCM ?
This article tries to evoke some thoughts about why LV dilatation is central to the understanding of cardiomyopathy.
Even as we do not have a clear answer to the above issue , we recognise left ventricle muscle can hypertrophy, progressively dilate , transiently dilate, fail to dilate , regressively dilate or hypotrophy .These changes can be dynamic and heavily influenced by hemodynamic and local pathologic factors like fibrois, interstitial proliferation etc. Meanwhile , the pharmacological , surgical /catheter injuries we inflict , modifies the muscle behavior in a positive or negative manner.
In this back ground , we have found a new entity called NDCM .
Apart from DCM, a newer form of cardiomyopathy is being recognized .This is often referred to as NDCM (Non dilated cardiomyopathy) .Global systolic LV dysfunction with normal LV dimension.This a similar to the terminology MDCM (Minimally/Mildly dilated cardiomyopathy where LV dimension do not increase beyond 15 % upper limit of normal ) .
This is seen in CKD and diabetic individuals.Atria may be enlarged .Diastolic dysfunction may co exist. It is no surprise, this entity closely mimics RCM. But in RCM LV systolic function is not greatly compromised till the late stages , while NDCM it begins with systolic dysfunction. This is the only difference .There can be overlaps .
MDCM was reported in 1990 . Keren gave a excellent insight about the condition , It is unfortunate it failed to take off as a popular clinical entity . Cardiologists are argued to use this term liberally in their clinical practice .
Cardiology is not that simple as one would like to ! The two components of cardiomyopathy ie LV dilatation and LV dysfunction can be temporally dissociated one may precede the other. To complicate the matter further, one of them may not manifest at all !
Few , still consider many of the RCMs and NDCM are one and the same entities that present in different time frames in their natural history.
In dilated cardiomyopathy which chamber dilates first ?
Logic would suggest , the first chamber to dilate in DCM should be the left ventricle because it is facing the direct load of systemic blood. But we also know , whenever LV is stressed , left atrium comes to it's assistance .
Left atrium does this by total self sacrifice ( by all means!) increases it's force of contraction, elevating it's mean pressure or even increasing it's rate (AF) .
Like most other critical questions in cardiology , the factors that determine LV dilatation in DCM , is also poorly understood !
Is it the after load ?
Is it the muscle mass ? or it's turgid or flabbiness ?
Is it the interstitial integrity?
When the issue is complex , it is usual to make the the unknown genetic defects , the scapegoat !
If the LV of a DCM patient refuses or resists dilatation what might happen ? Is it good or bad for the patient ?
Here is a catch . A LV that does not dilate obviously should be be good for the patient is in't ? Medicine is not that simple.
So now answer this question : Which chamber dilates first in DCM ?
The answer must be 3 .
Why recognising this sequence of chamber enlargement in DCM is important ?
It gives us an opportunity to assess the dominant mechanism of LV dysfunction.There are reports , where some DCMs have more diastolic dysfunction than systolic dysfunction .This will have important therapeutic implication.Further , many of the infiltrative disorders of LV can have features of both DCM & RCM .
When a RCM begins to dilate it is usually a harbinger of terminal heart failure. But, it need not be always true . A small restrictive LV , when dilates , may acquire a slightly improved diastolic properties , as the LV becomes more placid . And , if it happens the LA size may regress.
The role of LV restriction devices like, Acron mesh, Dor procedure, plication in refractory DCM is not well defined. All these modalities actually adds a small dose of diastolic dysfunction in these patients who have grossly dilated ventricles. This fact is very important , as presence of any preexisting significant diastolic dysfunction in DCM makes the role of LV restrictive devices and surgery a big question mark !
Non dilated cardiomyopthy : An under diagnosed entity !
How will you refer to a ventricle which is not dilated but still has severe global contractile dysfunction ?
But there is large group of pateints who do not show any of the above features and still have global hypokinesia contractile dysfunction. this group has been largely ignored .It could constitute up to 25%of all cardiomyopathy.there can be some overlap between non dialted cardiomyopathy and RCM.
Can mitral valve act as a safety valve in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy ?
Competence of mitral valve is vital for proper hemodynamics of heart .A trivial mitral regurgitation ,is observed in nearly 10-20% of normal population detected by doppler echocardiograpgy .This is other wise clinically insignificant. In fact , it is expected , the sonographers do not report this, as it might increase the patient anxiety.
Can a mildly incompetent mitral valve be a hemodynamic advantage ?
Left ventricle , physiologically can have only one exit, namely LVOT and aortic valve.If there is normal impedance , at this level (LV after load ) it is refered to as physiological .In disease states , as in cardiac failure there is raised after load or LV wall stress.this makes the LV struggle to pump blood into aorta.The more the dilatation the more the wall stress (Laplace law). more the wall stress more the after load.
The main principle of management of cardiac failure for decades has been promoting LV inotropism .Now we have realised this is fundamentally a wrong concept, (Except in acute heart failure). Hence the main option available now is to reduce the after load , ACEI do that most effectively and proven to improve survival.
What is the effect of trivial or mild MR on LV after load ?
It is a hemodynamic fact for MR to increase LV contractility and Dp/Dt due to a relative reduction of after load.
In patients with cardiac failure , even a mild improvement in LV contractility can give a symptomatic improvement .
Can mitral valve act as controlled safety valve allowing only a trivial or mild MR ?
This may be difficult . But it happens naturally in many of our patents in cardiac failure .
We have found, patients with DCM with mild mitral regurgitation tolerate excercise better than patients who have very competent and rigid mitral valve.It is presumed a mitral valve which gives in a little bit , decompresses the LV with a symptomatic benefit.But if the MR , is occurs in an eccentric path or it results in significant volume burden the potential advantage becomes a liability.
While milder forms of MR are well tolerarted , when it occurs acutely ( even if it is mild) , it can be dangerous and result in sudden pulmonary edema .This usually happens in acute MI or infective endocarditis etc.
Minimal or mild mitral regurgitation without any significant volume overloding in some of the patients with dilated cardiomyopathy could bring a hemodynamic advantage .
We will report the results of the ongoing study about the impact of presence /absence of mild MR on the 6 minute walk test in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.


Researchers from the School of Microelectronics in Tianjin University have discovered a two-step sputtering and subsequent annealing treatment method to prepare vertically aligned WO3-CuO core-shell nanorod arrays which can detect toxic NH3 gas.
A schematic illustration of the gas sensor device based on the hybrid nanorod arrays. The real time resistance versus time of the vertically aligned WO3-CuO core-shell nanorod arrays-based gas sensor to varied concentrations of NH3 decreasing from 500 ppm to 50 ppm at 150 ?. The resistance of the WO3-CuO hybrid increases upon exposure to NH3, consistent with p-type semiconductor behavior. The response of the hybrid sample increasing with increasing NH3 concentration at 150. The response and recovery times range from 10 to 15 s for all NH3 concentrations.
Here, vertically aligned WO3-CuO core-shell nanorod arrays are synthesized using a non-catalytic two-step annealing process of sputtered metal film on silicon wafer. The growth mechanism of the vertically aligned nanorod arrays are discussed. The NH3 sensing behaviors of the WO3-CuO core-shell arrays at different temperatures are reported. A possible NH3sensing mechanism for the hybrid is proposed.

Sudanese dictatorship's bloodbath of pro-democracy protesters
Posted on June 4, 2019 by petrel41
This 4 June 2019 video says about itself:
After bloody attack, Sudan army scraps agreements with protesters
The head of Sudan's Transitional Military Council says there will be no more negotiations with opposition groups and is calling for elections to be held within nine months.
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has also apologised for the violent crackdown on Monday, which saw at least 35 people killed, according to protest groups.
But protesters say it's too little, too late and want an immediate transfer of power to civilians. Al Jazeera's Alexi O'Brien reports.
By Bill Van Auken:
Military massacres protesters in Sudan
Security forces in Sudan launched a bloodbath early Monday morning, using live ammunition to break up a more than five-month-old sit-in outside the country's defense ministry in Khartoum, where tens of thousands of Sudanese have regularly gathered to demand an end to military rule and the transfer of power to a democratically elected government.
The Sudanese Doctors' Committee put the confirmed death toll late Monday at over 30 and said that at least 116 people had been wounded. At least one of those who were killed is a child, an eight-year-old cut down by gunfire. The casualty figures are expected to rise dramatically, with many protesters still unaccounted for, and reports of security forces dumping bodies into the Nile River. Similar murderous repression reportedly has also been unleashed against protesters outside of the Sudanese capital.
Troops from various military and police units descended upon the encampment, led by soldiers wearing the desert camouflage fatigues of the Rapid Support Force (RSF), a brutally repressive paramilitary outfit that has been used by the regime in Khartoum to suppress regional rebellions in Darfur and in the east of the country. The RSF is led by Lt. Gen. Hamdan Dagalo (popularly known as "Hemeti"), the deputy chair of the country's currently ruling junta, the Transitional Military Council (TMC), and widely viewed as an aspiring dictator.
And a pal of the regime of the Saudi crown prince, because he sends Sudanese child soldiers to help the Saudi bloody war against the people of Yemen.
The troops rushed in using tear gas, stun grenades and live ammunition. Video posted online showed soldiers with whips surrounding and flogging unarmed demonstrators, including elderly men and women.
Photographs were also posted of snipers deployed in high rise buildings overlooking the protest site. They opened fire on anyone attempting to record the events with cellphone cameras.
One protester recounted: "They shot me in my right thigh because I was carrying someone with a bullet wound to his head … An officer hit me with his gun and I dropped the man I was carrying. He then stepped away and shot him again in the head and told me 'now you can go bury him.'"
In addition to shooting and beating protesters, the troops burned down tents erected at the sit-in and sealed off the area with machine gun-mounted trucks.
There were also reports of armed security forces besieging local hospitals where the wounded had been taken, firing live ammunition inside the facilities and blocking volunteers and doctors from entering. Video shared by doctors showed security forces beating medical staff at the Royal Care Hospital in Khartoum.
Protesters driven out of the site outside the defense ministry continued to demonstrate and erect barricades in the streets of Khartoum and the neighboring city of Omdurman. In neighborhoods throughout Khartoum, people poured into the streets to protest the junta's actions, barricading streets with bricks and burning tires and blocking bridges. Similar mobilizations were seen in Omdurman. Firing by security forces continued to be reported in both cities as well as elsewhere in Sudan.
Among the chants heard were: "If you disperse the sit-in, we will protest in every street" and "You'll have to kill us all."
Shortly before the military onslaught against the protesters, the regime cut off power to the area. The internet was also shut down throughout Sudan.
The ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) issued a preposterous statement claiming that the crackdown had targeted only "unruly elements" from a neighborhood adjacent to the protest site, nicknamed "Colombia" and known for a high crime rate.
"What is going on is targeting Colombia adjacent to the sit-in area and not targeting the sit-in. Dangerous groups infiltrated among the protesters in the sit-in area," a spokesman for the TMC said.
He went on to call for a "return to negotiations" between the junta and opposition groups organized under the umbrella of the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change (FDFC) as "the quickest way to resolve the problem."
In the face of mass protests, the TMC seized power on April 11 in a preemptive coup against the 30-year ruler of Sudan, President Omar al-Bashir. Its aim has been to preserve the military-dominated regime by ousting its chief.
The assault on the protest had been openly prepared for days after negotiations between the junta and the civilian opposition front broke down over whether a military or a civilian would head a transitional regime during a proposed two-year transitional period in preparation for presidential elections.
Demonstrators remained in the streets, rejecting the protracted transition and demanding an immediate end to the ruling junta.
On Saturday, the ruling TMC issued a statement declaring that the "sit-in has become a threat to the country."
While Washington issued a pro-forma statement from an undersecretary at the State Department condemning the "coordinated and unlawful violence" in Khartoum and a vague opinion that the Sudanese people "deserve a civilian-led government that works for the people, not an authoritarian military council that works against them", the reality is that the military crackdown was prepared in the closest collaboration with the principal US allies in the region.
The shift toward iron-fisted repression immediately followed a tour conducted by the head of the TMC, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Lt. Gen. Dagalo, of the three countries that have been the main backers of the military regime, which are also Washington's chief allies in the Arab world: Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
It is clear that Cairo, Riyadh and Dubai—with Washington's tacit blessing—gave the green light for the bloodbath.
The assault on the sit-in recalls the even bloodier crackdown organized by Egypt's dictatorial ruler Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo's Rabaa Square in 2013, killing at least 1,000 people, including women and children, who were protesting the Sisi-led coup that toppled Egypt's elected president, Mohamed Morsi. Having drowned in blood the Egyptian revolution that overthrew the 30-year US-backed dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak in 2011, el-Sisi has no intention of seeing a similar revolutionary upheaval struggle unfold unhindered in Egypt's southern neighbor, Sudan.
The Cairo regime issued a statement demanding that "all Sudanese sides commit to calm, self-restraint and return to the negotiating table."
As for Saudi Arabia and the UAE, their ruling monarchs have pledged $3 billion to prop up Sudan's ruling junta. The Sudanese military has in return sent troops to support Saudi Arabia's and the UAE's near-genocidal war against Yemen.
During their visit, the UAE's ruling crown prince, Mohammed bin Zayed, pledged to help the Sudanese generals "preserve Sudan's security and stability."
Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the organizer of last year's brazen murder of Jamal Khashoggi as well as dozens of beheadings of political dissidents, presumably offered similar backing.
After the meeting in Riyadh, Lt. Gen. Dagalo stated that "Sudan stands with the kingdom against all threats and attacks from Iran and the Houthis (Yemen's anti-Saudi rebels)."
Such allegiance undoubtedly trumps all other considerations in Washington, where the focus of Middle East policy has been the consolidation of an anti-Iranian axis in preparation for a new and far more dangerous US imperialist war of aggression in the region.
At the same time, there is fear within US imperialist circles as well as among the ruling strata throughout the Middle East and North Africa that the popular revolt in Sudan will feed the growing wave of strikes and mass protests in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and throughout the region.
The only means of defeating the counterrevolutionary conspiracies of Washington, its regional allies and the Sudanese ruling clique lies in an independent struggle led by the working class to take power and seize the country's wealth as part a broader struggle of the working class throughout the region and internationally to put an end to capitalism and build a socialist society.

Q: Using scala Maps to accumulate values
Possible Duplicate:
Best way to merge two maps and sum the values of same key?

I have a bunch of maps of the type Map[String, Int]. I would like to be able to merge them taking the sum of the values when the keys correspond. For instance, the standard ++ method on maps gives
Map("a" -> 1, "b" -> 2) ++ Map("a" -> 3, "c" -> 5)
// Map[String,Int] = Map(a -> 3, b -> 2, c -> 5)

I would like to define an operation that as a result would give
Map("a" -> 1, "b" -> 2) ?? Map("a" -> 3, "c" -> 5)
// Map[String,Int] = Map(a -> 4, b -> 2, c -> 5)

In fancy wording, Map[A, B] always has a natural structure of monoid, but there is a different one when B is itself a monoid.
Now, it would not be difficult to write, say, a recursive implementation for LinkedHashMap, but I think there must be some trivial and more general way to write this, possibly using scalaz. Any ideas?

A: Scalaz has a monoid instance for Map[A,B] if B is also a monoid.
> Map("a" -> 1, "b" -> 2) |+| Map("a" -> 3, "c" -> 5)
  Map("a" -> 4, "c" -> 5, "b" -> 2)

A: It looks like you are actually trying to use a Map as a Multiset. For multisets, the operation you are describing is just multiset sum s1 ⊎ s2.
Unfortunately, there is no multiset in the Scala Collections Framework, but there are some for Java.
For a hypothetical Multiset in Scala:
Multiset("a", "b", "b") ++ Multiset("a", "a", "a", "c", "c", "c", "c", "c")
// Multiset[String] = Multiset("a" -> 4, "b" -> 2, "c" -> 5)


If you're a curry lover, then you'll love our first class of the Winter season, Warming Spices to Melt the Winter Chill. It's getting much colder out and if you like spices like I do, then it's time for something warm and comforting like curry. Additional spices like tumeric and ginger have been known to help with arthritis and circulation. I wouldn't call them particularly hot spices, I'd call them warming spices. If you're looking for another alternative to everyday dinners, then this should spice things up.
We'll cook a delicious chicken masala (curry), gobi manchurian (cauliflower dish), and a vegetable coconut curry dish accompanied by brown rice. You'll discover some delicious spices and learn to grind a garam marsala spice blend.
Class will be Friday, January 8 from 6 to 8pm. Please come out and join us.

Trend Series Part 2: Posh Play Spaces
Summer may be behind us, but one of the patterns that emerged from popular culture during it may speak to insight that will continue to be relevant into the next year and beyond. In the midst of an ongoing economic crisis (in fact, during the very time period when the U.S. was at risk of going into default), some Americans made the dream of home ownership a reality for their kids…They're not the live-in-my-basement-because-that-whole-get-a-job-after-college-thing-didn't-work-out kids. Nor are they the bearers-of-my-first-grandchild kids. The recipients of these unhumble abodes are from the preschool set, but live a jet set lifestyle in their own backyards.
The "trend": Parents paying the price so their kids can play house in style.
Where we've seen it:In our recent conference presentations on play, we've highlighted some of the innovation we've seen in playground plans over the past few years. Major cities have commissioned name brand architects to add style and substance to their newest playgrounds (New York's Union Square and Brooklyn Waterfront Park), and the loose parts movement has made slides and monkey bars seem quite juvenile. The New York Timesfeatured an article about the over-the-top backyard bungalows that are cropping up in the most prestigious neighborhoods across the country...Dwell Magazine dedicated not one, but two issues (July/August 2011 and September 2011) to well-designed play spaces that let the modern mom and dad capture the clean, cool aesthetic that, in some cases, they may not be able to infuse to the same degree into their own home. And audience savvy HGTV created a new show, My Yard Goes Disney, to give families who can't seem to leave the Magic Kingdom behind a chance to experience Imagineering in their own backyard. Sure, these parents aren't funding this fantasy, but they're more than happy to give their green spaces over to designers and to their kids.
What it means: We don't know if the mainstream American will shell out the kind of funds required for high-end houses like the ones from a company called Posh Tots, but we think this fringe habit might have a future in the lives of more than a few families. But what will it look like? Starter homes of the same styles featured by these mini villa vendors? A cottage industry (no pun intended!) of mini designer furniture – itty bitty Eames chairs or pint-sized spas? We think it could speak to needs and desires that constitute a formula for today's families that can be applied to more than just costly kiddie casas…
The elevation of environments. Today's parents rarely see a space that they don't think has a consequence on their child's well-being – be it their ability to learn, stay healthy or cultivate good taste. Parents may be willing to splurge on the artwork in their child's room before purchasing a piece de resistance for their own parlor. Schools – especially charter schools – tout the importance of an inspiring learning environment as a legitimate expenditure.
The baby budget loophole. For cost-conscious moms and dads, the desire to indulge might be easy to deny when it comes to their own wants. But perhaps parents who have repressed their own retail inclinations might be ready for a release – in the form of spoiling their kids. This may motivate parents who can't afford an adult-sized luxury to make their kids feel like kings of their own castle. And it might mean that a gift that makes parents feel like a hero to their tween or teen makes for a justifiable expense when the budget doesn't really allow it.
The return to home as habitat. With the real estate market (and every other market) less than predictable, homeowners, and especially families, might return to the notion of home as a place to live, not a sure-fire investment. To appeal to this nesting family, look for ways to make home feel more like a retreat…Foods that feel less like fuel-on-the-go, and more like a restaurant experience in their own dining room. Look for ways to help mom and dad model and re-model their kids' rooms, and perhaps give them ways to teach their children an appreciation for design at the same time. And provide them with affordable ways to make their play spaces fantastic.
The trickle-down effect of adult aesthetics. Instead of aging up kid culture (think Kidult), we think the pendulum has swung back in the other direction. We've already seen fashion find muses in the littlest stars (check out any celebrity magazine and you're sure to see significant real estate given to Suri Cruise's shoes or Kingston Rossdale's hairdos). We already have sushi play sets for the littlest sous chefs. Across any category, look for high-end options to find an audience among a sub-set of parents who want to translate their aesthetic aspirations to a smaller scale.
