Cargo Ships Circumnavigating Africa to Avoid Suez Canal Blockage Risk Piracy Encounters
Somtribune Africa
The massive container ship blocking the width of the Suez Canal has other vessels weighing the lengthy, costly, and perilous decision of whether to detour around Africa instead.
As demonstrated in this story by Insider's Mia Jankowicz, the sea route from the Red Sea to the east Mediterranean is a journey of 15,000 miles and ventures through the world's most dangerous waters for piracy.
Ships taking the long way around will be forced to navigate the Horn of Africa past Somalia and, eventually, past West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea — where piracy rates are the highest in the world.
According to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), there were 135 maritime kidnappings recorded in 2020 — 130 occurred in the Gulf of Guinea.
"We see that the pirates are acting with greater impunity," IMB Director Michael Howlett told Deutsche Welles in February. "They are spending more periods of time on board vessels. In one case, they were on board a vessel for more than 24 hours, totally unchallenged."

A spokesperson for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, told the Financial Times it had been contacted by numerous shipping firms over the past couple of days concerned about the risk posed by pirates to their ships are being forced to circumnavigate Africa.
"There is a risk there, and it's probably another reason why the ocean carriers will think twice before they actually go around the Horn (of Africa)," Genevieve Giuliano, a professor at the University of Southern California's Sol Price School of Public Policy, told The Washington Post.
The huge Ever Given container ship has been stuck in the Suez Canal since Tuesday, and while its Japanese owners said it hopes to free the ship by Saturday, some experts say that freeing the ship could take weeks.
It's unclear how the Ever Given veered off course, but officials attributed the accident to high winds and sandstorms, which are not unusual at this time of year in Egypt.
As the world waits, London-based shipping news journal Lloyd's List estimates that the blockage is costing $400 million per hour in delayed goods.

Combined MB police services seized drugs, guns, stolen property last month
19-year-old man was killed in a vehicle-semi collision in RM of Minto-Odanah
Police arrested 13 people in Central Plains area of Manitoba
Image - Manitoba RCMP
In a media release today (Dec 5), Manitoba RCMP report that "Community safety was top of mind when the Manitoba RCMP, Brandon Police Service, and Manitoba First Nation Police Service joined forces and deployed to the Central Plains area of Manitoba. The goal was to reduce violent crime in communities by strategically identifying targets through intelligence and crime statistics, and then targeting those areas and prolific offenders.
Through the development of the RCMP's Strategic Enforcement Response Team (SERT), deployments such as this are intelligence-led, and are planned in order to address the rise in violent crime in some communities.
From November 21 to November 25, 2022, SERT, in partnership with MFNPS and BPS, deployed to the Central Plains Area. A number of crime reduction strategies and specific targeting of prolific offenders was carried out by the team.
Seven Criminal Code search warrants were executed for firearms, weapons, illegal drugs, and stolen property. The warrants were executed in Sandy Bay First Nation, Dakota Tipi First Nation, and the City of Portage la Prairie. Within this area, 13 arrest warrants were also executed. Three prolific offenders were found in breach of their release conditions and were charged accordingly. As well, four of the top five most prolific offenders, identified by criminal analysts, were charged.
In total, 36 new charges were laid, which consisted of various firearms offences, Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Breaching Release Order, Possession of Stolen Property, and weapons possession offences.
Items seized included 13 firearms; 22 other weapons, including machetes, knives, brass knuckles, and batons; more than two ounces of methamphetamine, an ATV, a dirt bike, a vehicle, and a MIG welder.

"SERT is all about intelligence-led, data-driven policing," said Superintendent Rob Lasson, Officer in Charge of RCMP Major Crime Services. "When SERT is deployed, it means we have identified an issue, determined what or who is driving the issue, and are taking concrete steps to stop the issue. We are very happy to team up with our policing partners to execute this operation to address crime in rural Manitoba."
SERT deployments continue to be planned."

While the world turns to their flat screens and the big game on Super Bowl Sunday there are two things that often trump the actual game: the commercials and Super Bowl snacks. I mean is there anything better than football food?! Friends and family gather to watch the halftime show, I mean football game, and bring their favorite apps, dips, and desserts. But how do you feed a crowd that will satisfy your hungriest guy and your pickiest eaters?
With these five simple yet delish football snacks.
After riding this motherhood carousel for the past decade I've served a lot of touchdowns and fumbles. So here are some simple Super Bowl snacks that will feed a crowd and keep your kid's happy, fed, and hopefully calm! Feel free to assign one per person and don't be afraid to let your family help you in the kitchen. My kids are OBSESSED with number five and can make them on their own!
5 SIMPLE SUPER BOWL SNACKS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FAMILY CHEER!
2. Pizza Rolls– Of course you can order pizza, hello that's what everyone does! But in our house, the kids fight over the pizza sauce, crust, toppings, and taste of every major pizza chain. Sound familiar? So to combat the drama – we make our own pizza rolls. You can buy pizza dough (we love Publix brand in the bakery) or crescent rolls, and then everyone can make what they love. And bonus when you do this, the anti-sauce kid-lets don't have to dip! It's the perfect solution for your pickiest terrorist…I mean loves of your life, and everyone can fill with their favorite toppings.
3. popchips – Every party needs a little crunch and these bold and crunchy ridges pack a lot of punch! They come in the perfect game day flavors like buffalo ranch, tangy barbecue, and cheddar and sour cream, (plus seven more varieties) and are perfect for dipping or are full of flavor on their own. We all love buffalo sauce but popchips don't bring the same mess. And popchips are so thick they can hold some guac like a boss! (And everyone knows guacamole is my BFF.) Bonus popchips are never fried, they are baked, contain real ingredients, some flavors are non-GMO, and 130 calories or less per serving. You can pick up popchips at your local grocery store or on Amazon, and score big at your Super Bowl party.
4. Honey Garlic Meatballs – I think a unicorn landed in our home on a double rainbow, because (knock on wood – don't jinx it) both of our girls actually like meatballs. Sometimes I just buy Whole Foods version of marinara meatballs, but on special occasions, we throw these in a crock pot. They are really good and better than the grape jelly meatballs everyone else makes. Plus once made, you can freeze for dinners or lunches throughout the month!
5. Football Brownies – Every Super Bowl party needs a dessert and these are easy peasy lemon squeezee! Buy some brownie mix and a football cookie cutter and you are good to go. And yes our almost 10-year-old not only bakes these solo but ices them like a pro. So much better than I can do, watch out Kid's Baking Championship, here she comes!
Hope this gave you plenty of ideas for your family-filled Super Bowl parties! Remember, it doesn't have to be fancy, just full of flavor and love. Happy snacking!

Immigration News: Record U.S. Immigration and Factors to Why it Takes so Long
In Early March 2019, Kirstjen Nielsen (Secretary of Dept. of Homeland Security) testified to a House Committee that record immigration into the U.S. over the past months have to lead to record projections for the rest of the year. In fact, in February, U.S. Border Patrol said more than 76,000 migrants crossed the U.S. Mexico border. Homeland Security officials say this is an 11-year high.
Nielsen used this data to justify the more severe scrutiny of allowing (or not allowing) migrants into the U.S. including asylum seekers. Border patrol commissioners say that detention centers are at "breaking points" trying to keep up with medical needs and general care with more people arriving at "at capacity" detention facilities at a rate of thousands per day.
How This Impacts Legal Immigration
Nearly 830,000 people are awaiting their immigration hearings in about 60-immigration courts throughout the U.S. Depending on where an individual's case is being heard, the wait times for hearings can be anywhere from months to years to process. In California, for example, just over 149,000 people are awaiting an immigration hearing, and almost 62,000 are in San Francisco alone.
These numbers create a backlog for the immigration system and increase the time it takes to legally admit someone to stay in the U.S. permanently, including those seeking asylum. Here are five contributing factors as to why the immigration system takes so long in the U.S.
Family Quotas - The U.S. immigration courts are handling a lot of cases including those based on people seeking to bring family members into the U.S. There are minimum waiting periods for these groups of people leaving some waiting many years to get an opportunity to live in the United States.
Very Few Courts and Judges - There are nearly 400 immigration judges spread out among the almost 60-immigration courts across the U.S. As you might already see, with nearly 830,000 people needing a court hearing, the wait time leads to months and years for many seeking to stay in the U.S.
Work Quotas - Similar to that of family-based quotas, there are only so many "workers" allowed into the United States per year. This stresses the court system even further making those waiting for "asylum" an even longer process leading to much uncertainty and without assistance.
Background Checks - The United States Customs and Immigration Service is required to do background checks on anyone wishing to stay, work, or permanently live in America. These background checks are used to look for those who have criminal records or may prove to be a threat to the U.S. and its citizens. While the processing time on background checks has improved with technology, the investigation still takes time. This is even more true for those who have common surnames such as Rodriguez, Lee, Kim, Patel, etc.
A Flawed System - Between the litany of paperwork and the lack of officers doing immigration processing work, the system is simply flawed. Whether paperwork is lost, personnel move from one department to another, and cases being moved around to try and meet needs; it's inevitable that something goes wrong in the processing of these cases.
We know that waiting for an immigration system to keep up with the new demands of migrants, and asylum seekers can be frustrating and uncertain. If we can help you through this process, please reach out to Landerholm Immigration so our immigration lawyers can look further at your case to help you through it.

The Anglesea Bike Park was designed and built by legendary trail builder Glen Jacobs of World Trail and was Victoria's first professionally designed and world class 4X track. The track consists of straights and switchbacks and is about 400m long. Various track features have been included to enable users of all skill levels to safely enjoy the track. The features include mounds, rollers, jumps and table tops and these vary in height from 200mm to 1800mm high. Other features of the Anglesea Bike Park include a dirt jump area and a skills course with log rides. The Bike Park is suitable for riders of all ages and level of experience.
The Anglesea Bike Park is ideally located, just 1 kilometre from the town centre, accommodation, restaurants, cafe's, public transport and surf beaches. The region boats a strong cycling culture and the Anglesea Bike Park ensures a big future for mountain biking on the Surf Coast.
The park is set into a hill with the natural slope offering the ideal contour for a Mountain Cross Track. Tall pine trees surround the track, providing a picturesque and shady environment – great for both riding and for spectators. A toilet, shelter and picnic area are recent additions to this fantastic bike facility.

Trying to counter hate against Asian Americans
WXXI News | By Randy Gorbman
Authorities in Georgia are still looking into the motive of the suspect in a deadly shooting spree this week that left eight people dead, including six women of Asian descent. The attack has heightened fears in Asian American communities about increased incidents of hate crimes and anti-Asian violence over the last year.

Authorities in Georgia are still looking into the motive for a deadly shooting spree this week that left eight people dead, including six women of Asian descent. The attack has heightened fears in Asian American communities about increased incidents of hate crimes and anti-Asian violence over the last year.
Natasha Chen Christensen, associate professor of sociology at Monroe Community College and a Taiwanese American, is one of the presenters at a virtual three-part discussion on the history of racism and xenophobia in the U.S. against Asians and Asian Americans. It begins Sunday and is presented in conjunction with the Levine Center to End Hate at the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester.
The conference was scheduled before the recent killings in Georgia, but Christensen says the shootings will now be part of the discussion.
She says that since the start of the coronavirus pandemic a year ago, she, like other Asian Americans, has been afraid to leave her house.
"I basically am too scared to go out in public by myself, so if I do go out in public, then I'm always accompanied by other people," Christensen says. She feels that comments made by former President Donald Trump last year in connection with the coronavirus pandemic did embolden some people to become more open in their bigotry regarding Asian Americans.
"What is happening to the Asian Americans is just an extension of what happens to Black Americans, Latinx Americans, Muslim Americans. We need to realize that this is all the same struggle and that we need to all work on this together," Christensen said.
Rochester Police Investigator Jacqueline Shuman, who is also the spokesperson for RPD, says that RPD is not have any reported threats against Asian American businesses in the city, but is keeping a closer eye on those individuals and businesses.
Christensen is hoping that discussions, like the ones taking place in the upcoming series, will offer needed dialogue to help address that kind of racism.
The upcoming three-part virtual discussion, Asian Matters: Standing with Rochester's Asian American Communities, is open to the public. You can get more information on the Levine Center's website.

The Art of Aging
In Humor, Life in Society on January 24, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Binka and Betty
By Heila Rogers
In the 1920s, Tokyo high school student Hideichi Oshiro read a haiku poem he never forgot … it described coming across the subtle beauty of a wildflower during a walk in the mountains.
"I wanted to make this kind of haiku in my life," he said at age 100.
"Nothing else, just one haiku."
(Nichi Bei, 12/22/11)
I would like to suggest, how about make one haiku OF our life?
Catch Sun
How about the art of living involves humor.
People are dying (!) to know the secret to longevity. Scientists poke and prod centenarians and test their blood, analyze their daily habits, and report on their diet and exercise habits. Conclusions vary. Some drink, some don't. Some eat meat, some don't.
I have a file with articles interviewing older people. Usually when they reach a milestone birthday like 90 or 100, they get their picture in the paper. Something I love about them and always notice is their humor.
One 90-something lady was asked if she'd lived her whole life in the town where she was born and raised, and still lived. She answered, "Well yes … so far!"
Robin Le Breton
People's Park, Chengdu, China
Jeanne Calment of France released a CD at the age of 121 which included a rap song. That's not a typo. Her age was 121 years old. No, she didn't in fact take herself too seriously.
Hear it here.
Read the centenarians' quotes below and look for the embedded humor. It's not the cracking jokes kind of humor, it's more of a deep, abiding perspective on life, that looks for and is aware of "the funny." An outlook that appreciates human foibles and is interested in laughing.
Christian Mortensen, originally of Denmark:
On his 115th birthday Mr. Mortensen said, "Friends, a good cigar, drinking lots of good water, no alcohol, staying positive and lots of singing will keep you alive for a long time." (NYT)
Tell me there's not humor in there – "lots of singing" is not a medical prescription.
Maria Gomes Valentim of Brazil:
"She says she has lived long because she has always taken care of her own life – and not the life of others," granddaughter Jane Ribeiro Moraes, 63, told a local newspaper. (The Huffington Post)
You know she has some stories though!
Besse Cooper of Georgia, United States:
Sidney Cooper said his mother was told she is the oldest person in the world …
[S]he said,"I am? I should get a box of chocolates – assorted." (Walton Tribune)
What a funny answer!
Ann Nixon Cooper of Georgia:
Until the age of 103 the lively centenarian still danced the electric slide.
Enough said.
Bucky Williams of the U.S. – former member of the Negro Baseball League:
It was an era before Jackie Robinson, when the color line prevented these players – some of the best players in the world – from playing in the National and American leagues. The black players couldn't play on the same fields, use the same water fountains or eat in the same restaurants. Bucky used to tell the story of the time he and a fellow player were approached by female fans but didn't speak to the women for fear of being lynched. But Bucky remembers the good times too. "You didn't make any money. Some of us might have made $10 or $15. But we had what you call fun."
(www.100yearsproject.org)
We had what you call fun. I wish that quote could be stenciled onto every sports arena and stadium in the country.
I honestly don't know if scientists have studied this about humor and longevity, but it's verifiable.
Laughter is good medicine.
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength. Proverbs 17.22
Young Monk's at Play
A quote from Ushi Okushima, a daughter of one of the semi-famous centenarians on Okinawa (not a baby herself, she's 74):
She says her 100-year-old mother still treats her the way she did nearly seven decades ago.
"She criticizes my hairstyle," she sighs. "She still talks to me like I'm a small kid." (globalaging.org)
Look for it! It's there in every interview.
Finally, Run Run Shaw, who ran a large entertainment business addresses the joy of making people laugh:
'In my business, its all a guessing game. You've got to go along with it, watch audience reactions and then guess. I like sitting among the audience, especially in Hong Kong where people make comments continuously. Entertainment is a kind of service to the people. In Hong Kong, people work all the time and have nowhere to go. So keeping them amused and entertained is a challenge.'
(www.shaw.sg)
Again, to be clear, this humor is not sarcasm, it's not laughter at others' expense, it's not crude. Instead it's joy and gladness. It's love really. An acknowledgment of beauty and wonder — and pinpointing that in everyday activities.
See it in their eyes.

Elizabeth City Area Is Developing Momentum
New renovation, construction projects transform region
Cary Estes
On Thursday, March 30, 2017 - 14:16
Courtesy of Pasquotank County Economic Development
Several old things are becoming new again in the Elizabeth City area, where several planned renovation projects are poised to help transform the city and region.
"There is a lot of untapped potential in this area, and these infrastructure improvements are making the area more attractive," says Christina Rehklau, director of the Elizabeth City Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Part of the appeal of Elizabeth City is its proximity to North Carolina's picturesque Outer Banks, which currently are about a 45-minute drive away, a trip that will be even shorter after construction of the Mid-Currituck Bridge.
But it is a bridge project within Elizabeth City that has sparked much of the recent development. After five years of construction, work was completed in 2016 on the Elizabeth Street Bridge, replacing the aging two-lane structure – part of the primary route into and out of downtown – with a modern four-lane causeway crossing the Pasquotank River.
"That is opening up our downtown for development after a number of years of being in a construction phase," says Deborah Malenfant, executive director of the Elizabeth City Downtown organization. "Elizabeth City is right on the tipping point now. There are quite a few things going on that, once we start seeing some solid movement, it's going to create significant momentum."
Here is a quick look at four projects in the Elizabeth City area making headlines in 2017:
Former Coast Guard Housing Renovation
A 32-acre, 72-unit complex built in 1976 was the primary housing for the nearby United States Coast Guard base for more than 30 years. But the USCG closed the facility in 2011 in favor of giving members housing vouchers to live wherever they wanted.
Developer James Rose purchased the gated community in 2016 with plans to spend nearly $2 million renovating the units. The first apartments became available earlier this year. Rose says eventually he would like to build new units on the site, which currently has several acres of open land.
"It's only partially developed, so there's still a lot they can do with that property," Elizabeth City City Manager Richard Olson says. "Even though the Coast Guard didn't spend much money on it in recent years, the overall project has good bones. And it's in a great location."
In addition to being less than a mile from the Coast Guard base, the complex also is close to Elizabeth City State University, which has nearly 2,500 students.
Historic Southern Hotel Renovation
While there are plenty of B&Bs and chain hotels in the Elizabeth City area, one thing the city doesn't have is a true boutique hotel. That is about to change with the renovation of the Southern Hotel, a 54-room structure that was built in 1872 but has not operated as a hotel in decades.
"This was sort of the first big indication that it's a new day in Elizabeth City," says Wayne Harris, director of the Elizabeth City/Pasquotank County Economic Development Commission. "That's going to be a $13-million project in a very iconic building. It will be a major catalyst for other downtown redevelopment."
Developer SAGA Construction plans to renovate the interior of the building to reflect its original late 1800s appearance. The company hopes to have the hotel operational by the end of 2018.
"We plan on using the Southern Hotel as the jumpstart to doing a lot more work in the downtown area," Olson says. "It will be a major draw to bring people to the downtown area."
Elizabeth City's First Brewpubs
Investors are looking to tap into downtown's resurgence with not one, but two, new brewpubs. The Elizabeth City Brewing Company will be located on Water Street in the two-story Fowler Building, which was built in 1902, while the Ghost Harbor Brewing Company is set to open in a former livery stable on Colonial Avenue.
"The brewpubs will be near the other end of Main Street from the Southern Hotel, so the projects kind of serve as bookends of our downtown," Malenfant says. "When those projects come to fruition, our downtown will be much stronger.
"Breweries and brewpubs have served as an economic development focus in many downtown areas across the nation. It will create a vibe in our downtown that will be beneficial."
New Commercial Development in Camden
Meanwhile, Camden Towne Center is being built on 18 acres of land near the county courthouse and high school in the Camden community. The first phase includes a 11,000-square-foot structure housing a pharmacy, hair salon, restaurants and medical practices.
Camden County Economic Developer Charlie Bauman says he is pleased with how the development "runs parallel with the county's efforts to recruit more retail and service-oriented entities to the community by the need expressed by our growing consumer market."
Elizabeth City native William Owens of Camden Realty Group cited the excellent location, the recently widened U.S. Highway 158 and a county feasibility study confirming residents' desire for a grocery store and pharmacy as key factors in moving forward with the long-anticipated project.
"Camden is really starting to grow from being more of a bedroom community to now having a population large enough to support certain services," Owens says.

Hi, I'm a single guy searching for a single woman for dating or companionship.
I am a metal head.
Like concerts. Amusment parks - must ride all. Movies ( HORR0R - COMEDIES) Fishing, walks, talk & to enjoy someone like me .


Let me start off by sharing how grateful I am for the love and joy I've felt since joining the CUMAC family. After 11 years away from New Jersey, it's wonderful to come home and be part of such a great organization and mission.
I had my first sobering and powerful experience within my first week at CUMAC. I was fortunate enough to work in the pantry for the day as a runner. A young man came into the pantry in the middle of the day and was impressive and polite. He addressed everyone as sir and ma'am, made eye contact, said thank you. I was very impressed with this young man. As I observed him I was taken aback when I looked down at his shoes. Instead of socks, he had worn out and dirty plastic bags around his feet.
It was in that moment that I found myself wondering what his life experiences were, where he lived, did he even have a home?
I've worked with and seen many individuals with plastic bags for socks and even shoes and they were often homeless or very close to it. I thought about who his parents must be, wondered what his thoughts about his future were, and did he have a safe place to go home to that night. I froze for a bit with these thoughts in mind and then the young man left our pantry.
I cannot vividly remember his face, but the pantry staff and I have spoken and we'll keep an eye out for him again. I can still however, vividly remember his plastic bag socks. Having worked with youth for so much of my career, I find that image to be the driving force behind the last few weeks at CUMAC as I develop the strategies and initiatives that the staff, board of directors, and I will employ to continue and expand CUMAC's mission. I have this big crazy dream that one day that young man will come back and I'll get to know him better. I dream that one day CUMAC will be able to bring him into one of our existing programs or maybe offer him a new program where we can teach him to write a resume or help him find work. I dream that one day, maybe he could possibly be on the CUMAC staff, reaching back and lifting up another young person.
I'm able to dream like this because of the heart, passion, dedication, and love that I feel every time I walk into CUMAC. Onward and upward my friends, let's dream big together as we give back to our fellow man. Who knew so many thoughts could come from two plastic bags, right?
Mark Dinglasan is CUMAC's Executive Director. To learn more about Mark and how he got involved with CUMAC see our welcome announcement.
After several months of hard work and planning, we're excited to announce that Place of Promise, CUMAC's supportive housing program, officially has a new home! As many of you already know, we decided to move the program to a new location in an effort to give our residents more space and better amenities. We first mentioned our plans to move in our last newsletter and we were blown away by the outpouring of support in response to the article. Many of you answered our call by donating household items, furniture, glassware and so much more.
Thanks to your support, Place of Promise is fully furnished and truly feels like a home. We're now a few weeks in and our residents couldn't be happier! Our residents love their new space and wanted us to let you know that they are so grateful for all the wonderful donations and household items.
"What a gift this has been" says Bob, one of our residents. "It's the kind of home I've always wanted." Another one of our residents told us that he's never felt safer. "We're in a nice neighborhood now and that makes me feel good at the end of the day. We can sit outside, enjoy the weather, without having to worry. It's a good feeling." Another resident put it simply: "If this isn't a blessing, I don't know what is."
We look forward to giving you more updates from Place of Promise in the weeks ahead. From the residents and all of our staff, thank you for your continued support of programs like this one. Together, we're changing lives!

Willie has been volunteering with CUMAC for over a year. You can usually find him here first thing in the morning, helping wherever the need is greatest, which is often in our pantry. CUMAC's pantry is a very busy place, especially in the morning. It's not odd to see a line down the street when we open our doors. Unfortunately, mornings are also a time when CUMAC is often short on help, which can make keeping up with our clients a challenge. "Some mornings if it weren't for Willie we'd have to open late" says Shanee, our pantry supervisor. "He's been a big help." Whether he's setting up the pantry, cleaning out freezers, stocking up our bread and veggies, or running food out to clients, you can always count on Willie to get the job done.
Wanting to give back to an organization that has always supported him, Willie decided to fill out a volunteer application while visiting our pantry one day. He's been part of the CUMAC family ever since. Along with volunteering with our programs, Willie graciously offers to pick up groceries for those who aren't able to get to CUMAC. He regularly brings back items for friends and neighbors if they can't take the trip as a way of giving back. "He's one of the kindest and most caring people I know" says Shanee. While we continue to be amazed by this kind volunteer, Willie says he just wants to see other happy.
Thank you, Willie, for being a bright spot in our day. You are truly an inspiration!
The start of a new school year can be exciting and full of possibilities, but for many low-income students it's often stressful. With families living on a tight budget and unable to afford school supplies, kids are often forced to go back to school without the resources they need.
At CUMAC, we believe that every kid should have the tools they need to learn. We've committed to helping over 500 students through our school supply drive this year and we're well on our way! Hundreds of backpacks have already been given out in our pantry and with a few days left in the drive we hope to serve hundreds more.
In an effort to reach even more students this year, CUMAC is also sharing supplies with Passaic County Women's Shelter, CAPCO, Straight and Narrow Family Success Center, St. Paul's CDC, and School #15. Volunteers have been working nonstop packing bags to ensure that we can serve all who come our way. We'd like to send a special thank you to these volunteers and all those who have donated to this year's drive. Together we're giving hundreds of kids the opportunity to learn and succeed this year. Thank you!
Hunger and poverty has been rapidly spreading through communities across the county for decades. It has been recorded that 42.2 million Americans live in food insecure households. 13.1 million of those households include children. If these numbers startle you, especially the amount of children who go without a healthy meal, I have a solution. CUMAC is gearing up for our annual Action Against Hunger Food Drive which will take place on Sunday, September 24. On this day dozens of volunteers will be stationed at various grocery stores soliciting customers to help be a solution to hunger. Meanwhile, more volunteers will be on site helping unload and sort thousands of pounds of food. This food will not only help us to continue to be of service to our 2,500+ clientele, but to also provide food for our partner pantries as well.
If you are interested in learning more about how to get involved with the Action Against Hunger Food Drive please visit our event page or give us a call 973-742-5518.
Michael is 6 and when he grows up he wants to be a police officer who protects people. Michael lives with his 3 siblings and his mom. With mom working part time and going to school, sometimes Michael winds up at CUMAC's food pantry to pick up groceries for the week. Thanks to your generosity, his family's groceries include big bags of healthy fruits and vegetables, along with meat, dairy and nonperishable goods—enough to help ensure that Michael grows up strong, excels in school, and goes on to accomplish all the dreams he is setting for himself. Help ensure that we can serve kids like Michael by making a donation today. Every gift can help change lives!

There are living and non-living things in our world.
Some of the things that we use every day were once a living thing.
We had a visitor yesterday. Tia's mom came and brought some animals that she and her family rescued.
Rescuing means to find an animal that needs help and take them in to raise them. Sometimes they get new homes or they stay with the people that rescue them. Why do people rescue animals? So animals can keep living. Living things need water, air, food, and shelter. When people adopt pets, they need to make sure they meet those needs and care for those animals properly. If not, they will get sick and die.
– A vet to check them like a dr.
When you have a pet, you need to have time to take care of them.
Found in an apartment that was not healthy.
Chew toys in her cage to help her teeth.
Rescue animals are loving & want affection.

Q: Prevent Raspberry Pi reboot from brief voltage interrupt using capacitors My goal is to power a Raspberry Pi Zero W using an IP5306 charging IC which would receive its power input from a 3.7 V 18650 battery. The Raspberry Pi Zero requires 5 V and can draw as much as 120 mA without HDMI running.
The IP5306 should be able to power the Raspberry Pi from its battery source in theory. The issue I am running into is the following scenario:
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is currently on and is being powered by the IP5306 charging IC. The 18650 is running out of juice so it is now time to charge the battery using an external 5 V power supply. As soon as the external 5 V is applied to the IP5306 to charge the 18650, there is a VERY brief interrupt in the voltage output of the IP5306. This interrupt is brief enough where you wouldn't even see an LED flicker but it is long enough to cause a Raspberry Pi and even an MCU to reboot.
This brief voltage output interrupt is a trait of the IP5306 itself.
I would like to know what I can do to prevent the Raspberry Pi Zero W from losing power when the external 5 V is applied to the IP5306.
Would I need to add a Schottky diode with some ceramic capacitors in parallel between the IP5306 and the Pi? If so, how many capacitors and what would their values have to be.
I don't know the exact duration of the output interrupt in ms.

A: This has been addressed in a practical manner here: https://whiteboxcellphone.com/psd/rpi-supercap.html
Basically, a supercapacitor across pins 2 and 6 of the GPIO will charge while the Pi is powered and discharge for a few seconds when it is not. However, you have to balance the benefit of a large capacitor against the ability of the charger to feed the capacitor at boot.
Between 10F and 25F often works.

Q: $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ is not an Euclidian Domain I want to prove that $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ is not an Euclidian Domain.
First, I know that Euclidian  Domain $\implies$ principal, i.e., every ideal is principal. So, I want to construct a ideal in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ that is not generated by a unique element $a+b\sqrt{-7}\in\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$, $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$.
I saw here the ideal $I=(2,1+\sqrt{-7})$ is not principal, but the answers uses some Galois Theory, and I haven't learned it yet.
My questions are:

*

*Where did the construction of this ideal come from? What is the motivation?

*How to prove that $I$ is not principal?

A: $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ isn't a UFD so in particular it couldn't be a Euclidean domain.
So let's study the element $8$. $$(1+\sqrt{-7})×(1-\sqrt{-7})=8=2×2×2.$$We have to show $2,1+\sqrt{-7},1-\sqrt{-7}$ are irreducibles.
Let study $1+\sqrt{-7}=(a+\sqrt{-7}b)(c+\sqrt{-7}d)$ $a,b,c,d\in \mathbb{Z}$. Taking seminorms $(a^2+7b^2)(c^2+7d^2)=8\implies bd=0$ and both $b,d$ are not zero as $8$ has no integral square root. So without loss of generality assume $b=0$ and $d\not=0\implies 8=a^2(c^2+7d^2)$ . Note that $d$ must be $+1,-1$ , otherwise $c^2+7d^2\geq 28$. Also $c\not=0$ , as $7\not |8$. Hence $c$ must be $+1,-1$ otherwise $c^2+7d^2\geq 11$. Therefore $a=1,-1$ i.e. $a+\sqrt{-7}b$ is unit.
Now let $2=(a+b\sqrt{-7})(c+d\sqrt{-7})$ such that $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{Z}$, then pass at the semi-norms :$$(a^2+7b^2)(c^2+7d^2)=4\implies b=d=0$$ $e,f\in \mathbb{Z}$ and wlog (because in $\mathbb{Z}$, $2$ is irreducible)  $$f\not =0\implies e^2+7f^2\geq 7$$ Also either $a$ or $c$ is $+1,-1$ as $2^2=4=(ac)^2$ and $\Bbb Z$ is a UFD i.e. either $a+b\sqrt{-7}$ or $c+d\sqrt{-7}$ unit.
In the same way $1-\sqrt{-7}$ is irreducible.

A: The question becomes easier if we make it about inclusions of ideals of $\Bbb{Z}$, i.e. about divisibility of integers. To do this, all you need to know is that the norm function
$$\mathcal{N}:\ \Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]\ \longrightarrow\ \Bbb{Z}:\ a+b\sqrt{-7}\ \longmapsto\ (a+b\sqrt{-7})(a-b\sqrt{-7})$$
is multiplicative. That is to say, for $x,y\in\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ you have $\mathcal{N}(xy)=\mathcal{N}(x)\mathcal{N}(y)$.
Now suppose the ideal $(2,1+\sqrt{-7})\subset\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ is principal, say it is generated by $x\in\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$. Then
$$2=xy\qquad\text{ and }\qquad 1+\sqrt{-7}=xz,$$
for some $y,z\in\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$. It follows that
$$\mathcal{N}(x)\mathcal{N}(y)=\mathcal{N}(xy)=\mathcal{N}(2)=4,$$
which shows that $\mathcal{N}(x)$ divides $4$. This leaves only a few cases to check:

*

*If $\mathcal{N}(x)=\pm1$ then $x$ is a unit and so
$$(2,1+\sqrt{-7})=(x)=\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}].$$
Show that $(2,1+\sqrt{-7})$ is a proper ideal to arrive at a contradiction.

*If $\mathcal{N}(x)=\pm2$ then writing $x=a+b\sqrt{-7}$ we find that
$$\pm2=\mathcal{N}(x)=\mathcal{N}(a+b\sqrt{-7})=a^2+7b^2.$$
Reducing mod $8$ yields a contradiction.

*If $\mathcal{N}(x)=\pm4$ then $\mathcal{N}(y)=\pm1$ and so $y$ is a unit, so
$$(2,1+\sqrt{-7})=(x)=(2),$$
but it is clear that $1+\sqrt{-7}\notin(2)$, a contradiction.

This shows that the ideal is not principal.

Phase one of the Aphrodite gas field development will have a maximum production capacity of 800 million cubic feet per day (Mcfd). Credit: Lindsey G.
Aphrodite gas field lies approximately 160km south of Limassol off the shore of the Republic of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea.
The gas field is located 30km north-west of the Leviathan gas field in Block 12 of the Cypriot exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in roughly 1,700m of water.
The owners of Block 12 are Noble Energy International (35%), BG Cyprus (35%), Delek Drilling Limited Partnership (15%) and Avner Oil Exploration Limited Partnership (15%).
Aphrodite gas field is jointly owned by Delek Drilling (30%), Noble Energy (35%) and Shell (35%).
A viable export option is currently being evaluated for the field due to the limited size of the domestic market.
First gas from the field is expected after 2023 following the identification of a suitable export option.
The Cypriot Government has signed an energy co-operation agreement with the Egyptian Government to examine the option of exporting gas from Aphrodite field to Egypt.
A technical study was conducted by the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company and the Cyprus Hydrocarbons Company in 2015 to design a possible gas connecting route from the Aphrodite gas field to Egypt.
The development of the Aphrodite gas field is expected to enable Cyprus achieve energy independence and help the country minimise air pollution, while strengthening businesses, employment opportunities and the overall economy of the country.
Aphrodite gas field discovery, geology and reserves
The Aphrodite field covers an area of 120km² and was the first gas discovery to be made in the Cypriot EEZ.
The Cyprus A-1 discovery well discovered gas in high-quality Miocene sand intervals.
"Aphrodite's reservoir has a maximum thickness of 320m and is estimated to hold roughly 129 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas."
Drilling works for the well began in September 2011 and took 116 days to complete.
The discovery well was drilled to a total depth of 19,225ft in a water depth of 5,860m using the Homer Ferrington rig.
The well tests resulted in the estimation of a gross resource range of five to eight trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas with a gross mean value of 7tcf.
Aphrodite gas field appraisal
Aphrodite's Cyprus A-2 appraisal well was drilled in 2013. It is situated 6.4km to the north-east of the Cyprus A-1 discovery well at a total depth of 18,865ft in 5,575ft of water.
The well tests resulted in an estimate of the gross resources of the field between the range of 3.6tcf and 6tcf with a gross mean value of 5tcf.
The Cyprus A-2 appraisal well was drilled using the Ensco 5006 drilling rig.
Aphrodite gas field development details
The field development plan for the Aphrodite gas field has not been finalised, however the proposed plan comprises two phases.
The first phase includes the drilling of up to five production wells in water depths of 1,700m.
These wells will be drilled at different depths within the reservoir layers with the maximum drilling depth being 5,000m.
A well head located on the seabed, approximately 3,000m above the reservoir, and a subsea pipeline will connect the production wells to a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO).
The maximum production capacity in the first phase is expected to be around 800 million cubic feet per day (Mcfd).
Gas processing and export from Aphrodite
Processed gas from the FPSO will be transported through pipelines to a proposed onshore natural gas liquefaction plant.
The proposed onshore plant will include three LNG production units with a capacity of five million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) each.
It will also include a power plant, supporting and auxiliary services, an operation and control centre, as well as two LNG storage containers with a capacity of 180,000m³ each.
The facility is also set to feature jetties for LNG carriers, in addition to loading and unloading equipment.
Contractors involved
Noble Corporation provided the Homer Ferrington drilling rig to drill the Cyprus A-1 discovery well, while Ensco PLC provided the Ensco 5006 drilling rig for the drilling of the Cyprus A-2 appraisal well.

Always fun to re-visit the Donnelly family in Copper Ridge! With this book, Maisey Yates brings us Alex's story. He's haunted by his past, but is determined to keep his promise to his late Army buddy and get his sister set up to prosper in the future. I liked Clara and admired her spirit after all she had lost. I enjoyed Alex, but had a little harder time connecting with him than I did with his brother's in the past. Not my favorite in the series, but a fun read none-the-less.
Alex Donnelly never planned on putting down roots, but circumstances change on the dime in life, and he finds himself not only working with his brothers on the family ranch, but also taking over at his buddy's family ranch for a short time to get his little sister settled.
Clara Campbell can't believe her brother sent a keeper to take charge of her life. She doesn't need anyone to make her face the things she's burying her head in the sand about … but after spending some time with Alex, she wouldn't mind him helping her do other things! Can she convince him that he's just the one to help her enjoy life a little more?

By Community Chickens on November 4, 2013 Visit Community's Website.
Raising chickens is a valuable practice for any homesteader, but protecting chickens from predators can be a tough job. In this video, I provide some tips for keeping your flock safe and happy.
Your backyard chickens depend on you for health, housing and safety. In return, they will supply you with eggs, entertainment, pest control, fertilizer, meat and more. But as prey animals, chickens are also the subject of great interest to everything from domestic dogs to snakes, rats, owls and hawks. You should expect to lose a bird to predation occasionally, but there are some tips that will go far to help keep your flock safe.
Train your birds to return to the chicken house every evening — and be sure to close it up. If you raise your chicks in that coop, they will naturally return to lay eggs and roost at night after you let them range for the day. Make sure the house is varmint-proof and that you close it up at night once the birds have settled.
Raise the chicken coop off the ground by a foot or so to discourage rats, skunks and snakes from taking up residence beneath it and stealing eggs, chicks or young hens. Be certain to keep the henhouse floor tight and patch any holes that snakes and rats can get through.
Enclose the coop in a secure poultry run to discourage dogs, coyotes, bobcats and other four-legged carnivores from gaining access to your flock. Welded-wire mesh, electric netting or other fencing materials with sufficiently small openings will help keep your birds in and predators out. Bobcats and coyotes are fantastic jumpers and can easily clear 4-foot-high fences, so build your enclosure appropriately tall, or add a cover net to keep the varmints from vaulting the fence.
Cover the chicken run with welded-wire fencing, chicken wire or game-bird netting, or install a random array of crisscrossing wires overhead to discourage hawks and owls from making a buffet out of your birds. If you shut your chickens in the coop at night, owl attacks will not be an issue. But hungry owls are cagey and may grab their meal right at dusk, or slightly beforehand, so if owls are a problem in your area, don't wait until after dark to close up the coop.
Choose small-mesh fencing materials for enclosing coops and runs when raccoons and members of the mink or fisher family are among the predators. Raccoons and other fairly dexterous animals are infamous for reaching through larger meshed fencing or chicken wire and killing the chickens they can snag. This is especially important when you keep your chickens in a fully enclosed wire coop/run, such as various chicken tractor designs. Although 2-by-3-inch welded-wire fencing is less expensive, you will lose fewer birds if you use 1-by-2-inch mesh or smaller welded wire.
Bury galvanized hardware cloth or other welded-wire fencing around the perimeter of the chicken run if you have problems with predators digging beneath your surface fencing.
Provide motion-sensor-activated night light that will flood the chicken run with light after dark. This will keep most nocturnal predators away from the coop.
Give your chicken-friendly dogs the run of the chicken yard — particularly at night. Be sure your dogs aren't tempted to chase running, squawking chickens if you choose not to close up the coop at night or choose to leave the dogs in the chicken yard during the day.
Prepare yourself to take swift action when you discover predation. You can take measures to eliminate the predator or to eliminate its access to your birds. Failure to do so will result in subsequent losses, if the predators think the buffet line is open.
Create a predator-danger zone around the coop and chicken yard. Most terrestrial predators are uncomfortable crossing an area with minimal cover. Leave the perimeter as cover-free as you can. Predators are less likely to try to work their way into a welded-wire enclosure when they have to do it in the open.
Keeping chickens is a popular and rewarding pastime — eggs, meat, fertilizer — but you'll need to continually observe and strategize in order to keep one step ahead of myriad predators.


My book club has the coolest tradition. When we gather to discuss our latest fiction reading, we bring snacks that tie in with themes from the book. One of our members has celiac disease, so I've gotten to try several gluten-free party favorites and would like to share them with you.
One in every 100 people you meet suffer from celiac disease, according to a report from Celiac.org. It's an autoimmune disease that harms their intestines, causing great discomfort when they eat gluten. However, there is still a large percentage of people who choose a gluten-free diet for personal health reasons. Therefore, if you're having a gathering, including an array of tasty snacks void of gluten can make any party great and will make your gluten-free friends feel all the more included.
Below are several of the appetizers, desserts, and side dishes I was able to try during these last two years of book club. I can certify their tastiness!
Who says gluten-free recipes can't have a little kick? These macaroni and cheese mini muffins simply trade out the regular grains for quinoa and, suddenly, you've got tasty finger foods easy to mix and packed with flavor.
I couldn't stop snitching these when they showed up at book club last year. Imagine a crunchy outside with a soft center and the rich flavor of cheese in every bite. They're great for more than just appetizers, too. You can serve them with soups, chilis, entrées, or breakfast.
My kids and I really enjoyed this treat. I'm sure we'll make it again. The best part was when they got to roll each mini muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture. What kid wouldn't love that?
It doesn't get easier than a simple veggie hors d'oeuvres like these cucumber bites with herb cream cheese and cherry tomatoes from 52 Ways to Cook. Not only are they a boost in nutrition and naturally gluten-free, but this colorful dish costs very little to make.
Popcorn is a great alternative for gluten-free party guests. These popcorn bars only require six ingredients and are finger-licking good.
Just getting started in the world of cooking gluten-free? Here are a few basic considerations from my good friend, Jamie Wright, who is among the one percent who suffer from celiac disease.
If you're unsure, always ask first.
Do you have any gluten-free party favorites you've enjoyed? Feel free to share one with us in the comments below!

14,000 girls learn about STEM thanks to CSR efforts in India
Thousands of girls in India are learning about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the help of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) team in the country. A series of initiatives have now helped 14,000 girls from lower-income families.
Our CSR team in India has a special focus on initiatives which support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal for Gender Equality. That aligns with our Sustainability pillars of supporting communities and advancing gender diversity
The ongoing project has seen TechnipFMC in India run 12 STEM Mini Science Centers for 12,000 girl students in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Gujarat. The team has also set up a science lab in a girls' school in Ahmedabad, which is helping 800 girls to pursue experiments.
In Akhod village – which is close to our Modular Manufacturing Yard (MMY) in Dahej, Gujarat – the team distributed tablet computers with a STEM curriculum and Lego kits to 200 students. And the effort is providing scholarships for 100 girls who are pursuing Science in their Senior Higher Secondary Education.
The CSR project is also sponsoring 50 women from lower-income families in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai who are in the final year of their engineering studies.
Our flagship India CSR program Seed of Hope won country's prestigious National CSR Award in October 2019.

North Kingstown, RI, November 21, 2006 - As the result of group participation and brainstorming, Electric Boat Corporation, Quonset Point Facility in North Kingstown, RI, and Universal Manufacturing Corporation, Zelienople, PA, designed and installed a new, modular, freestanding, highly- configurable platform for vertical hull outfitting. This resulted in a decrease in platform set up time, an increase in safety, and a significant reduction in hull outfitting time. The design won an award for: Best Practice: Modular Work Platforms for Vertical Outfitting.
The start of submarine cylinder outfitting begins with hull units in the vertical position, and easy access to every part of the unit. This is a major requirement for the success of the installation trades efforts. Electric Boat Corporation, Quonset Point Facility's (EBQP's) previous staging process was labor intensive. It consisted of attaching frame brackets, planks, plywood, and handrail supports onto the hull structure itself at various levels, a process that was very time consuming. The result was a constricted work space with serious space limitations for tools and equipment. Additionally, the staging had to be removed and replaced or shifted during the installation of major internal components, which added to labor costs. Utilities such as power cords, welding leads, and air and gas hoses became a cumbersome maze that inhibited good work habits and safety.
To improve this process, EBQP designed and deployed modular, reusable work platforms, which are constructed from unique, custom-manufactured staging components designed with CATIA models of the hulls. Although its components are easily erected or removed from the submarine hull section, when the section is axis-vertical, the modular work platform allows complete access to all the internal areas of the hull, and provides all the necessary supporting services and a safer working environment. Although these innovative structures were only recently deployed, early results indicate they will cause less work disruption and require less labor to erect and maintain than conventional stage building. EBQP's new process is the result of combined team brainstorming and consists of portable, self-contained, freestanding work platforms, which can be set up rapidly and stacked at requisite levels using overhead cranes. The 7'6" platform height allows required head clearance after the installation of lighting fixtures. Utilities are kept organized by common access with built-in, in-line controls on every level. The decking and deck support arms are adjustable and/or removable to allow easy access for working on and installing the hull components. The adjustable platforms accommodate the loading of tanks, foundations, piping, and ventilation packages, and the completion of electrical work without extensive platform revision. With the new vertical work platform, the use of wood and its related labor has been nearly eliminated. The final step in the vertical construction is the blasting and painting of the hull unit.
This new platform configuration facilitates the relocation of the unit to paint facilities, and thus supports the needs of the paint shop personnel. The new platform methods and procedures shorten the time required to ready a unit for productive work from two weeks to two days, reduced budgeted man-hours, and compressed span times throughout the entire vertical outfitting process (37% in recent units). This process also reduced recordable injuries, increased the productivity of all trades, improved the organizational appearance, and raised the general morale of EBQP's employees.

Win Tin, one of the country's most famous democracy activists, passes away at the age of 84 after suffering from multiple organ failure.
By Kyaw Phyo Tha 21 April 2014
RANGOON — After supporters across Burma staged prayer services and a candlelight vigil for his recovery, Win Tin, one of the country's most famous democracy activists, passed away on Monday after suffering from multiple organ failure. He was 84 years old.
Win Tin, who co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD) party with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, was a veteran journalist known for his relentless activism against the former military regime. After a new government came to power in 2011, he condemned the military's continuing role in the reform process and was one of few people who dared to also criticize the tactics of Suu Kyi, whom he described as "too conciliatory" with the military leaders that once imprisoned him and put her under house arrest.
"Some of us would like to push the military into the Bay of Bengal. She only wants to push them into Kandawgyi Lake [a lake in the heart of Rangoon]," he told the Washington Post last year, referring to Suu Kyi's willingness to compromise with the government over amendments to the military-drafted Constitution, which currently bars her from the presidency.
Win Tin was one of Burma's longest serving political prisoners. Starting in 1989, he spent almost two decades behind bars for co-founding the NLD and later for attempting to inform the United Nations about human rights violations in the country's prisons.
"I spent more than 7,000 days—one-fourth of my life—in prison. It's very heart-wrenching," he wrote in his prison memoir, "Man-made Hell," which describes instances of torture, malnutrition and limited access to medical care.
After he was released in 2008 at the age of 78, Win Tin was hospitalized frequently for heart problems and other health concerns. Late last month he was transferred to the intensive care unit of Rangoon General Hospital for respiratory problems and hip pain. His doctor told The Irrawaddy that he passed away on Monday morning due to multiple organ failure.
Win Tin worked as a journalist for nearly three decades before becoming one of nine founding members of the NLD in 1988, but he told The Irrawaddy last year that he preferred to introduce himself as a journalist rather than a politician because he sought to contemplate different views.
"Some people say I'm a hardliner. No, I am a man of principle," he said.
The winner of the Unesco/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize and the World Association of Newspapers' Golden Pen of Freedom of Award was outspoken in defense of free expression. He accused the former regime of "crimes against humanity" while refusing to support President TheinSein's current government, which he described as a semi-military regime led by the junta's former generals. He repeatedly called on government leaders to apologize for their wrongdoings.
"It's not only for me, but for all the political prisoners mistreated by the country's military dictatorship since 1988," he told The Irrawaddy last year, while wearing his blue prison-issued shirt to show solidarity with political prisoners who remained behind bars.
The journalist with wavy white hair and prominent glasses was known for his charming manners. He spoke softly and listened carefully while receiving guests—including diplomats, journalists and activists—in the living room of his two-room cabin home, where he spent many late nights watching Champions League football matches on television. After his release from prison, he had no surviving immediate family members, nor did he have any savings, but he received help from a lifelong friend who gave him the cabin as well as free meals to eat.
Win Tin will be remembered not only for his relentless efforts to promote democracy, but also for a foundation that he founded in 2012 to assist current and former political prisoners as well as fellow journalists lacking financial security. As of last year, the U Win Tin Foundation had given more than 90 million kyats (US$90,000) to over 300 people, with donations coming from Win Tin's supporters at home and abroad.
Of Burma's contemporary political landscape, Win Tin once said that the Burmese people needed to completely free themselves from the former regime's grip.
"What we have to do these days is make way for a new politics that can break down the mechanism of the military dictatorship, rather than being corralled into a political arena made by the government," he said.

Approximately 2 million times each year, people who have serious mental illnesses are admitted to jails across the nation. Nearly 15% of men and 30% of women booked into jails have a serious mental health condition. Almost three-quarters of these adults also have drug and alcohol use problems. In counties across the nation, jails now have more people with mental illnesses than in their psychiatric hospitals. Once incarcerated, individuals with mental illnesses tend to stay longer in jail and upon release are at a higher risk of returning to incarceration than those without these illnesses.
In 2015, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners adopted the Stepping Up Initiative, a national initiative whose goal is to achieve a measurable reduction in the number of people in jails who have mental illnesses. The CJRD has two clinical positions dedicated to providing support to individuals in the Orange County Detention Center who have mental health and substance use diagnoses.
In addition to providing support to youth who are in custody, Nancy is also responsible for timely screenings, assessment and treatment referrals of youth in juvenile court, truancy court, and those served by the Misdemeanor Diversion Program. She prioritizes those youth who are in immediate crisis and those in custody. Nancy's work can be delivered in her office at the CJRD, the Jail, juvenile detention centers, schools, DJJ offices, or the Chapel Hill Courthouse. Referrals can be made by any source, including but not limited to, DJJ counselors, defense attorneys, Pretrial Release and judges.
Nancy provides case management services until the youth is linked with community resources (ie, Cardinal Innovations, Freedom House, Tarheel Challenge, Job Corps, CTI, DSS, Family Advocacy Network, Reintegration Support Network, OC School System.) She can provide limited outpatient therapy for at-risk youth who are uninsured or under-insured. She also provides information to clients and their families regarding referrals and details regarding the delivery of appropriate therapeutic services.

Silvio Luoni (7 July 1920 – 11 April 1982) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who worked in the Vatican's Secretariat of State and in the diplomatic service of the Holy See.

Biography
Silvio Luoni was born in Busto Arsizio, Italy, on 7 July 1920. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Milan on 1 October 1944.

He joined the staff of the Secretariat of State in 1950 or 1953. On 12 September 1966, then a priest of the Diocese of Rome, he was made a Prelate of Honour of His Holiness, entitled "Monsignor". One focus of his responsibilities at the Secretariat was international organizations of lay Catholics, whose role in supporting the Holy See's participation in international organizations was critical to Pope Paul foreign policy.

On 9 July 1969, Pope Paul VI appointed him Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome.

On 12 August 1971, Pope Paul appointed him Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva.

On 15 May 1978, Pope John Paul II named him titular archbishop of Turris in Mauretania, Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to Thailand, and Apostolic Delegate to Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore. He received his episcopal consecration from Cardinal Giovanni Umberto Colombo, Archbishop of Milan, on 25 June 1978.

Pope John Paul II named him head of the Vatican delegation to the Madrid conference of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) in 1980/81. He died after a long illness in a Milan hospital on 11 April 1982 at the age of 61.
