Even as Pakistan is trumpeting that it has secured a diplomatic win by prevailing on Saudi Arabia to hold a special session on Kashmir at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in April 2020, such meetings have been a regular feature.
Sources in New Delhi said that though OIC has made no official announcement or issued any confirmation of the meeting yet, these meetings on Kashmir at OIC "keep happening".
As it is, such discussions or resolutions on Kashmir at OIC "have had no impact on Saudi-India relationship or for that matter India's relationship with other member countries of the OIC," an official of the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Radio Pakistan earlier reported that the Pakistani officials had discussed holding the meeting of ministers of the OIC grouping of Muslim majority countries to focus on the "human rights situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and enactment of an anti-Muslim law in India". The report added that the ministerial meeting "is expected to be held in Islamabad in April 2020."
The General Secretariat of the OIC earlier issued a statement said it has been closely following recent developments affecting Muslim minority in India.

OIC expresses its concern over the recent developments pertaining to both the issue of citizenship rights and the Babri Masjid case. It reiterates its call to ensure the safety of the Muslim minority and the protection of Islamic holy places in India.
The General Secretariat reaffirms the crucial importance of upholding the principles and obligations enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and relevant international covenants that guarantee the rights of minorities without any discrimination.
"In this regard, any action, contrary to these principles and obligations, may lead to further tensions and may have serious implications on peace and security across the region," the statement added.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been campaigning around the world against India ever since the Narendra Modi government revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August this year. Recently, Khan was forced by Saudi Crown Prince Mohamad Bin Salman to cancel his trip to Malaysia where he intended to slam India over Kashmir at the Islamic Summit hosted by the Mahathir Mohamad government in Malaysia.
Riyadh took serious offence to the summit where it was not invited and perceived it as a challenge to its leadership in the Muslim world by Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan. The Saudi Kingdom threatened to withdraw its massive aid to Pakistan, already reeling under an economic crisis, if Prime Minister Khan participated in it, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed in Kuala Lumpur after the summit.
"Ever since Pakistan has been involved in a damage control exercise with Riyadh," a source based in Islamabad said.
"Pakistani media has been bragging that the Khan government persuaded the Kingdom to hold a foreign ministers meeting of OIC countries. But that is hardly a concession. It is only for domestic consumption to appease his constituency in Pakistan," he said.
In fact, the OIC held an emergency meeting on Kashmir soon after India reorganized the Jammu and Kashmir state into two union territories on August 5 and has issued four statements on Kashmir since.
The meeting was chaired by OIC Assistant Secretary General Ambassador Samir Bakr Diab and attended by Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, and the Permanent Representatives of Azerbaijan, Niger, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
In one of the statements, though the OIC backed Pakistan's request for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Kashmir, the OIC refrained from criticizing India over the revocation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir. The UNSC member, China's move to hold a meeting on Kashmir however was vetoed by other members who agreed only for a private discussion. Recently, Beijing's another bid on behalf of Pakistan for a private discussion on Kashmir was also thwarted.

The OIC instead has asked the international community to resolve the Kashmir issue peacefully through a plebiscite under the UN resolutions. The first condition of the UN resolutions, incidentally, is that Pakistan withdraws from the parts of Jammu and Kashmir it occupied in 1947.
However, none of the OIC statements had any impact on the Saudi-India relations. In fact, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Riyadh in October this year, second time in last three years and met the Crown Prince five times.
The outcome of the meetings was strategic partnership pact between the two countries, making India fourth country after France, the UK and China to earn such a significant status in Riyadh. India is a major importer of oil from Saudi Arabia.

HP LaserJet enterprise and HP Page wide enterprise are the major flagship categories of printers HP Laserjet, HP Deskjet, HP Officejet pro and etc. shipped by Hewlett Packard with a factory programmed Service Access Code PIN. Here are some instructions for an administrator or a team manager to reset HP Printer default admin password. These instructions can vary for a service team managing a large number of printer models who want to secure them with the single key.
New PIN can be a customised 8-digit numeric PIN. Each model has its own Service Access Code which is listed publicly in HP service manuals. If a service user logs in without Service Access Code PIN, then they will be restricted to the service menu only and other applications like fax/copy/send and receive from memory will be locked for him. This feature is present in all future Smart versions.
To browse the Embedded Web Server (EWS), enter the printer IP address displayed on the configuration page and press enter. When an administrator password is set for the EWS, sign in using the administrator's credentials and click the Security tab. When there is no administrator password set for the EWS then, set the Local Administrator Password firstly before replacing the PIN. Type an 8-digit numeric password only. No letters or special characters are allowed. After entering the same new 8-digit PIN number in Verify Access Code column, apply it and click ok. A new confirmation screen will be displayed and the service access code PIN will be changed.
Scroll the pre-boot menu bar from Touch screen. Switch off the printer and turn it back on after a few seconds. Touch the HP logo on the printer's control panel when 1/8th of the display is below it. And for Line display: switch off the printer and turn it back on after a few seconds. Press the HP logo displayed on the control panel. This will illuminate 3 ready data LED lights. Click the Administrator column and select change Svc PWD. Enter the new 8-digit PIN and re-enter when asked to confirm the PIN change.
In the end, hopefully, the above methods helped you to reset the HP Printer default admin password. However, if you aren't able to reset HP Printer default admin password or WiFi Password using the above mentioned methods or solutions, let us know in the comment section.

Q: Weird bug on c++ when trying to convert from one numeral system to decimal So I'm writing this program in c++, it asks the user to give a number (base), between 2 and 10 and a number of digits between 1-10, and then takes a number of said digits, cypher by cypher and converts it to decimal.
The weird thing is, this code that follows seems to work for every case except when the base is 5, only failing then in the first iteration of the for loop, when it seems to get the result-1.
For example, base 5, digits 3:
number 341 should be: 3*5^2 + 4*5^1 + 1*5^1 = 75 + 20 + 1
in stance, my code gets: 74 + 20 + 1
Tried to check the outcome of:
     number=number+(digit*pow(base,(i-1)));
and individually, number is 0, digit*pow(base,(i-1)) is 75, but when they add up it saves 74 and I got no clue why this is happening.
As I said, the code seems to work fine for every other case I've checked.
Any ideas? Also, don't tell me to use vectors, this one is for classroom and it's got to be done without them. I'm curious to know where the error is too!

Chesapeake School Reported Significant Jump in Restraints; School Attributes Majority to One Student
Illustration: Crixell Matthews
Physical restraint is a long-used but often-debated method to contain aggressive behavior in students with disabilities. The topic is particularly controversial when the numbers of restraints are high.
One Virginia private school, Plan Bee Academy in Chesapeake, had a large increase in the number of restraints used on students from one school year to the next. In the 2016-2017 school year, Plan Bee reported 470 student restraints; in 2017-2018, the number was 6,754, according to data from Virginia's Department of Education.
According to Plan Bee's director, Wendy Fitch, there are two reasons for the increase. First, she said student enrollment had more than doubled, from 50 to 110 students from one year to the next.
Second, there was a very high number of restraints on one student who inflicted serious injuries on himself.
Fitch said the student attended Plan Bee both years, but restraint wasn't initially part of his behavior plan. When this student would assault his own face with his fist, the staff tried using blocking methods, like mats, a helmet and arm splints. But it didn't work, and the injuries were so intense, Fitch said the student required three eye surgeries.

To prevent continued injury, restraint became a part of this student's individualized education plan, or IEP, in 2017. Fitch says he received over 5,000 restraints in one year. Plan Bee does not use seclusion.
Fitch said the staff at Plan Bee worked closely with the family of this student and the school division to get this self-injurious behavior under control, but "we just felt like we weren't able to serve him and get any kind of progress that we were looking for."
This led Fitch to recommend the student be placed in a more intensive treatment facility, and he's now at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, which has an affiliation with Johns Hopkins University. Kennedy Krieger is focused on research and treatment for complex disabilities. Fitch says the student is part of a study there for complex behaviors.
Interpreting the Numbers
The data released by VDOE only shows the total number of restraints and seclusions in each private school serving students with disabilities. It doesn't show the number of students enrolled at each school.
To hear a student was restrained over 5,000 times in one school year might sound shocking. But Fitch says the data on restraints released by the state doesn't capture a complete picture, like the type of restraint used, the duration of each restraint, or how the number of restraints is distributed throughout the school population.

At Plan Bee, restraints are generally limited to 30 seconds. If the injurious behavior doesn't stop at that point, a second restraint will begin. Some restraints can be 10 seconds long, according to Fitch. Regardless of the length, at Plan Bee it will be counted as one restraint.
The VDOE recognizes that schools are not all defining restraint and seclusion in line with the definitions set forth in state regulations. The department is helping schools interpret the regulations more accurately, and Fitch has been in contact with them to get guidance on tracking and reporting its restraint data.
Aaron Parsons, the Vice President of Special Education at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, says while it's valuable to note an increase in restraints and seclusions school-wide, the most important information when analyzing the numbers is individual student data. Parsons says the number of restraints used on each individual student should be decreasing if the therapy is working.
The raw figures released by VDOE also don't compare the same groups of students from one year to the next. VDOE denied our request for anonymized, student-level data.
Christy Pearce, a veteran teacher at Plan Bee, said tracking student data is a major focus of her work. Pearce's students might cuss, spit, kick or hit. Each time they do, it's recorded in "red books" for each individual student.
Fitch said staff analyze graphs and charts of student behavior over time to see trends. Every student has personalized goals in the areas of behavior, academics and life skills. By tracking what students do, trends can be identified and the treatment plan can be critiqued.
For students who are restrained to avoid injury, the goal is to eliminate the aggressive behavior. Fitch said the reason the student who received over 5,000 restraints in one year was recommended to another program was because the behavior wasn't decreasing.
Weighing Treatment Options
One of Plan Bee's students is 10-year-old Ethan. On a visit to the zoo with the family, his dad, Aaron Morris, said Ethan likes to be free and run along the trails.
"He can run, he can play, he can not be held. So it's a great place for him," said Morris, adding that he can also have chicken fingers at the snack bar, a big highlight of the visit.
Ethan was diagnosed with severe autism shortly after birth. He's non-verbal, but uses a picture board to communicate. According to Morris, Ethan has a lot of energy and "was way more active than normal" even in the womb.
Until about a year ago, Ethan received special education services through Southeastern Cooperative Education Programs (SECEP) at Virginia Beach public elementary schools. But his condition became more complicated.
One of Ethan's behaviors is that he will lay on the ground and kick his legs really hard. Morris calls it a meltdown.
The leg-kicking can trigger a syndrome called rhabdomyolysis, which is the breakdown of muscle fibers due to injury or excessive exertion; that releases proteins into the bloodstream that harm the kidneys. It can lead to renal failure.
Morris took Ethan to over a dozen specialists before figuring out the leg-kicking was causing this condition.
Morris had to find a way to keep this from happening, but he didn't want to use behavior-altering medication, like risperidone. He said risperidone can cause permanent damage, like tremors and abnormal limb movements. And he doesn't like the fact that it would affect Ethan all day long. He didn't want to change Ethan's personality "because of an hour's worth of behaviors," he said.
In order to stop the rhabdomyolysis, Morris wanted Ethan's legs to be restrained during a meltdown.
But the program at the public school wasn't allowed to restrain him. Instead, Morris says teachers would use rewards to try to keep him calm. It wasn't working.
Ethan, age 10, has attended Plan Bee Academy for over a year. The staff at the school figured out a way to keep Ethan's legs still to prevent a rare syndrome called Rhabdomyolysis. (Photo: Aaron Morris)
"When a child, like Ethan gets into a meltdown, the best thing you can do is ignore him because if he realizes he can't get the desired result from the meltdown, they learn not to do it," said Morris. "No different than a human adult person who pitches a fit and doesn't get what they want. They eventually quit pitching a fit. But if we let him go, then he can kill his kidneys. So it becomes a behavioral therapy snafu."
According to Ethan's mom, a couple years ago their insurance provider was refusing to pay for the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy Ethan received after school because it wasn't working. His behavior was severe, and his medical condition disrupted the therapy. They couldn't ignore the leg-kicking because of the medical risk, and the public school didn't use restraint. Ethan's Behavior Analyst recommended a residential treatment facility, and the insurance was willing to pay for that. But the Morrises were completely opposed.
And at first, they weren't excited when the public school recommended Plan Bee. But Morris said, in retrospect it "turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to Ethan."
Plan Bee staff spent about a month figuring out the best way to restrain the movement of Ethan's legs, according to Morris. If Ethan is on the floor, they straddle his legs and hold them down. If he's in a chair, they hold his legs against the legs of the chair to keep them still. And they do this while also protecting Ethan's head and keeping him from pinching or biting himself.
Morris said Ethan has only had one instance of rhabdomyolysis over the past year at Plan Bee, whereas he was experiencing it three or four times a month at the public school.
This doesn't mean he hasn't been kicking his legs. If Ethan's in a good mood, Morris says it happens once or twice a day, sometimes not at all. A bad mood might mean seven or eight times a day. Every time it happens, his legs are held.
Morris said restraining a child might sound extreme to other people, especially those with children who don't have these kind of challenges.
"It's something difficult for a parent to come to terms with," said Morris. "And for the average populace whose picture in their head is a neuro-typical child, there's never any reason to hold down or restrain your child. So the sheer thought of it, especially from a parent, is hideous. No, there's gotta be another way. Well, sometimes there's not."
Morris says his family has a different reality than the characters with high-functioning autism on tv, in shows like "Parenthood,"or "The Good Doctor." People on the autism spectrum with challenges like Ethan aren't often represented.
Plan Bee's Wendy Fitch said many parents feel that way.
"A lot of the families have said, what about the dark side? You know, what about the dark side of autism? What about, what about my kid? You know, and the struggles that I've gone through."
Everything about Ethan's situation is complicated, Morris says. And that's often the case with students in special education.
The data the Virginia Department of Education released shows the total number of restraints in each school for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years. There are multiple variables we can't see, like the severity of behaviors in each school or the length of time each student has been attending.
For now, more specific data isn't available to the public.

After the update, I couldn't receive any email, from any server whatsoever.
After considrerable reserach, I disabled "ssl/tls protocol filtering" in Eset Internet Security. Now I can receive emails without any issue.
However my doubt remains: have I broken something?
What does "ssl/tls protocol filtering" actually do? Is it something useful? Should I turn it back on, and search for the right settings, so I can receive emails but leave the setting on as a whole?

Who's Responsible for Mold in Your Apartment?
AOL Real Estate Editors, AOL.com
Apr 29th 2013 4:30PM
Imagine your own home making you sick. When mold -- and we mean more than that stuff growing on your month-old sandwich in the fridge -- starts taking over your apartment, it can cause serious health problems, such as nausea, fatigue, rashes, hemorrhaging and asthma. So if you've got a mold problem in your apartment, what do you do?
Click2Houston.com recently fielded several questions from viewers complaining about mold in their apartments and asking what to do about it. One such viewer was Paul Bloom, who says that he was getting sick from all the mold inside the walls of his apartment. He had black mold growing up the apartment's walls and on the floor. "I've had the fatigue, joint pain," Bloom told Click2Houston.com of the effects of the mold.
Unfortunately, there are no federal guidelines outlining acceptable levels of mold in apartments. And only a few states have rules on the books pertaining to such a problem. California, for example, allows tenants to pay outside professionals to remove mold from their apartments and deduct the cost of services from their rent. However, in most cases, landlords protect themselves by providing tenants with information on how to remove mold with soap, water and a little bit of scrubbing, Click2Houston reported.
Here's what landlords are responsible for: maintaining habitable conditions for tenants. If the mold in an apartment has occurred because of a landlord's failure to fix leaks, for example, then you may be able to hold the landlord liable for the mold problem, according to legal site NOLO.com. But if the mold grew because of something you, as the tenant, did, then you could be held liable for the costs of damage. See what else you can do to battle mold in your apartment in the video above.

The Psalmist rejoices in the Word of God because he knows what a real treasure it is. Those who have no knowledge of God have no sense of value in His Word. Some may perceive historical or literary value in the Bible. Others may sense some ethical and moral value, but this only places the Bible among other books of earthly interest.
Here the rejoicing is "in the way of thy testimonies." This rejoicing runs deeper than only joy at hearing the Word. The stony ground hearers heard the Word with joy, but they had no root in them to persevere in the way of the Word (Matthew 13:20-21). Psalm 119:13 speaks not only of joy at hearing the Word, but joy in doing and keeping the Word of God. "The way" is a way of life. It is a living of the Word.
The rejoicing in the Word is compared to rejoicing "in all riches." God's testimonies are greater treasure than all the riches of the world. The sum of wealth on the earth at any given time is not equal to the treasure of God and His Word. It seems the Psalmist had experience with riches and he rejoiced in the Word more.
Thank you for sharing this most excellent verse and for the uplifting challenge that we set our affection on eternal things and not the the things of this passing world. All of your work is greatly appreciated!


Preside nt van de Zyl's response was a verbal assault which showed no respect for the Quakers nearly 400 years of commitment to peace and justice in Britain nor the practical experience it has in bringing reconciliation to some of the world's most troubled places. Instead, Marie van de Zyl was an inch away from accusing the Quakers of antisemitism.
The Board of Deputies has shown itself incapable of understand why Quakers in Britain could be justified in adopting a divestment policy. That's because the Board of Deputies is acting not as a Jewish community body in the U.K. but as a plank of the pro-Israel lobby. In that role it's determined to maintain the illusion that Israel/Palestine is a "conflict" requiring "balanced" debate and a heavily managed interfaith conversation.

British soldiers cautioned about social networking
The British Ministry of Defense has issued guidelines encouraging soldiers to think before they poke. It says it is merely reminding them not to post any sensitive information.
Chris Matyszczyk
Feb. 17, 2009 12:28 p.m. PT
If you thought the British Army's upper lip was always stiffer than its bayonets, then you might be jolted upright by a new development.
The British Ministry of Defense has expressed its concern that soldiers might betray the nation's secrets on Facebook and MySpace. Many British newspapers are relaying soldiers' dismay at a new directive that appears to prevent them from networking socially.
A serviceman enjoying the winter in Afghanistan told the Sun: "The fun police have taken over. I can't talk to my wife and kids or even play Call of Duty 5. Do they really think we're going to give away secrets?"
Perhaps you, too, are wondering why someone trudging through a battlefield of dead bodies and opium would entertain himself by playing Call of Duty 5. Wouldn't that be a little like the owner of an Outback Steakhouse franchise having dinner at Burger King?
And here's how the British Army trains for its missions. (No, this picture was not on Facebook.) CC John Spooner
The chaps at the ministry have been swift to deny that there is an outright ban. They claim they are merely reminding soldiers not to put any sensitive information onto their news feed.
However, a swift perusal of the directive brings out the ministry's true intentions: "Service and Ministry of Defence civilian personnel are encouraged to use self-publishing on the Internet or similar channels to communicate with the public directly, but should ensure that the rules on prior authorization, conduct and behavior, collective and personal security, use of official IT, data protection, and communicating in public are followed."
Perhaps we all read officialese differently. My interpretation is that soldiers can post whatever they want on their Facebook pages. They can poke the president. They can upload dirty limericks and areola-free photography. There is only one teeny-tiny catch. They have to ask Daddy first.
They don't have directives like that on Call of Duty 5, do they?

I was recently asked to speak at the Factotem Confab, "A bi-annual conference on emerging trends in the information industry, as they affect the marketplace for e.Business Development services", as the blurb on their Web site (http://confab.factotem.com/) describes it. The theme of this year's conference was managing online operations, administration and maintenance of Web sites, and I was asked to talk about site maintenance. So I whipped up a talk entitled: "The care and feeding of Web sites and the clients who love them".
Since it's been a while since I talked about business Web sites ("Show me the money", B2B 6/99, available online at http://mondodyne.com/b2b/smbiznet.16.html), I thought I'd share some of my points with you.
Getting a presence on the Web is half the battle; keeping it relevant is the rest. Given the nanosecond lifetime of Web content, a site that hasn't been revised lately has a musty smell. The Web is all about immediacy; surfers are accustomed to finding the latest news of the world online, and this is creating an expectancy of freshness for anything beginning with www.
Look at your own business site; has anything changed on the front page in the last week? Month? Year? Does the line at the bottom read "copyright 1999? Is there an announcement for Christmas Specials under your logo? These are all clear signs of screen saver on, nobody home.
You want your customers and potential customers to re-visit your site from time to time to see what's new. If they bought something from you that they liked, and your URL (www.yourcoolsite.com) is somewhere on the material they bought, chances are you will get at least one more shot at selling them something else. They get their product, and at some point actually read the instructions or whatever, and think to visit your site again. If there is something new there for them, it will encourage them to bookmark you and check in from time to time. If they visit your site and they see the same old stuff, they will be less inclined to come back the next time. This is why stores change what's in the front window: your Web site is your front window to the world, and needs to be dusted out and re-stocked on a regular basis.
Remember that your Web presence is but one part of your over-all marketing strategy, complementing your print and other media efforts. You tout your Web site in your brochure, and people can download your brochure from the Web; everything works together to get your message out. You wouldn't send out last year's catalog, so don't send out last year's Web site.
The strength of the Web is that immediacy I mentioned above: when you have a new product you can promote immediately on the Web, you don't have to wait a month for a catalog or new brochures to be printed, and then wait some more while these are snailmailed to your customers. Another strength is cost: it is a lot cheaper to maintain a Web site than it is to send out thousands of catalogs every month. The key here again is "maintain" - someone has to put the effort into putting fresh content on display.
How Much is That Content in the Window?
So who does the window dressing? This varies from business to business; larger companies have marketing departments that handle everything from print advertising to broadcast media to the Web, which is, after all, another form of broadcasting. Smaller firms rely on either in-house webmastery or a contract service. Or a combination of the two where the in-house graphics person will hand off the content to a Web expert for massaging and integration with the site involved.

Ukraine: Militants break Easter truce, tensions mount
by Lisa M. Ruth Apr 20, 2014
written by Lisa M. Ruth Apr 20, 2014
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2014 — Hopes that an agreement signed last week between Russia, Ukraine and several other countries would temper tensions in Ukraine were dashed last night after a gunfight in the eastern city of Slavyansk.
The attack reinforces the fact that Ukraine remains in a dangerous situation, precariously close to civil war which could leave leaders powerless to defuse.
According to Russian and Ukrainian media, unknown militants attacked a check point near the town of Slavyansk manned by pro-Russian separatists, killing five.
Russian media is blaming ultra Ukrainian nationalists for the attack, while Ukraine says it was a shootout between criminals.
Russian officials say the ultranationalist Right Sector group was behind the attack. They provided photographs of Right Sector paraphernalia and a business card reportedly left at the scene with the name of the group's leader, Dmytro Yarosh, as proof.
Russian separatists also claim to have arrested one of the perpetrators, who confessed to being a member of the group.
Moscow notes that the checkpoint was armed only with baseball bats in deference to an Easter truce declared by Kiev yesterday.
The Right Sector posted a response on its Facebook page saying it was not involved in the attack. The group blamed Russia's Federal Security Service for the incident.
Meanwhile, pro-Russian groups in Slavyansk refuse to leave government buildings. Part of the agreement in Geneva included pro-Russian groups relinquishing control of those buildings.
The deal also requires dissolving illegal militias in Ukraine.
After the attack, Slavyansk rebel leader and self-proclaimed mayor Vyacheslav Ponomarev called on Vladimir Putin to send food and weapons to the separatists, and to deploy "peacekeepers" to the city.
Further heightening tensions, Ukraine's interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk gave an interview on NBC's Meet the Press where he slammed Putin for his role in Ukraine's crisis and accused him of trying to re-form the Soviet Union.
The Interior Ministry also called on former members of the Berkut riot police, disbanded over atrocities, to return to service. According to the BBC, the unit was an elite force set up in 1992. It was better trained, better paid, and better equipped than other police units. However, the unit was disbanded after the most recent revolution, when its members were accused of beating, torturing and shooting demonstrators.
Next week, U.S. Secretary of State Kerry will visit Kiev, and world leaders will again attempt to defuse tensions. U.S. troops will also join military exercises in Poland and Estonia to show military strength.
The attack last night suggests that independent armed groups are rising in Ukraine, which will escalate violence in the country. Refusal of pro-Russian separatists to honor the conditions of the Geneva accord and the decision by what appears to be a nationalist group to ignore the Easter truce suggests national leaders have little influence over the militants.
Reforming the Berkut riot police is also dangerous for the government in Kiev. It suggests the interim government lacks military troops to maintain order in the country and highlights its weakness. The riot police may not be completely loyal to the interim government, whose leaders were among its targets just a few months ago. Even if they are loyal, their tactics are unpopular, and will cause further erosion of support for the interim government.
The next week will be critical in determining the direction of peace, or war, in Ukraine. If leaders in Kiev continue to lose credibility, independent armed groups are likely to use violence to pursue their goals, placing Ukraine squarely in the middle of a full fledged civil war.

Q: If $g(x) = g(y)$ implies $f(x) = f(y)$ and $g$ is surjective, there's $h$ such that $f(x) = h(g(x))$
Exercise. Given sets $E$, $F$, $G$ and functions $g : E \to F$ surjective, and $f : E \to G$. Prove that there's a function $h : F \to G$ such that $f = h \circ g$ if and only if the equality $g\left(x\right) = g\left(y\right)$, with $x, y \in E$, implies the equality $f\left(x\right) = f\left(y\right)$.

My strategy was the following.
Right to left. I assume that $h$ exists. Then if $g(x) = g(y)$, $h(g(x)) = h(g(y))$. Therefore $f(x) = f(y)$ by definition.
Left to right. I assume that the equality $g(x) = g(y)$, with $x,y\in E$, implies the equality $f(x) = f(y)$. Given that $g$ is surjective, $g^{-1}(g(E)) = g^{-1}(F) = E$. Therefore $f(g^{-1}(g(x))) = f(x)$ [Note: I know that $f$ and $g$'s values at any given point $x\in E$ have the same preimages... but I don't know how to state this more formally.]. I can then define $h:\ F\ \longrightarrow\ G$ such that $h(x) = f\circ g^{-1}(x)$, and it verifies the stated condition.

A: Your proof for right to left is good.
For left to right, note that $g^{-1}(g(E))=E$ for any function $g$, whether or not it is surjective. And because $g$ may not be injective, there is no such thing as $g^{-1}$ and so the expression
$$f(g^{-1}\circ g(x)),$$
is not well-defined. Similarly, the definition
$$h(x)=(f\circ g^{-1})(x),$$
is faulty because $g^{-1}$ need not exist.

In your note you seem to have the right idea; the fact that $g(x)=g(y)$ implies $f(x)=f(y)$ means that for every $z\in F$ and all $x,y\in g^{-1}(z)$ we have $f(x)=f(y)$, because
$$g(x)=z=g(y).$$
Note also that $g^{-1}(z)\subset E$ is non-empty because $g$ is surjective. This means
$$h(z):=f(x),\qquad\text{ where } x\in g^{-1}(z),$$
is a well-defined function $h:\ F\ \longrightarrow\ G$, and it clearly satisfies $f=h\circ g$.

After seeing so many of my close friends and acquaintances get divorced and start new relationships, I've noticed that there seems to be a common theme for what I affectionately like to call 'second-time-arounders'. They all have to deal with the biggest challenge that their new relationship inevitably holds for them.
It is not having memories of their ex or memorabilia of their new partners' ex screaming at them from every corner of their home like you might think.
With a second marriage or a new love, there needs to be an understanding that you are getting a "package deal".
They might test your reserve by misbehaving and disrespecting you on purpose to provoke you. How do you react to not look totally silly and at the same time not to interfere with the rules and boundaries your new partner has in place for them?
Your new relationship is a package deal, even if there are no kids around. It could be a pet you don't particularly like, extended family members who disapprove, hobbies that don't interest you or a career that interferes with much-needed bonding time.
You spent a lot of time creating a history with your first partner, and now your new spouse is desperately trying to fit in – not trying to disturb any precious memories. The same can be said for you trying to fit into your partners' life – you aren't trying to change their past, but you are trying to be a part of their future. You want to fit into their home, lifestyle and circumstances. And in spite of new butterflies in your stomach and great emotions that can leave you feeling certain that it will all 'just work out', there are some very practical issues that need to be considered.
Why can it be so much harder the second time around?
Two big factors to take into account when considering your second relationship are age and complacency. We humans like to arrange our life in a certain way and then try to keep it that way. So over years you've created a home, a lifestyle and a set of behaviours with and in your first marriage.
Now after the divorce you start out fresh. Well not quite, you have been comfortable for a couple of years in your first marriage. You would like to keep it that way. In other words you are less flexible to adjust to something new and to someone new.
Your new relationship is a package deal, because you not only need to fall in love with your new partner, you also need to like their home, their lifestyle, their kids, their pets and their memories and quirks.
How is this relevant for you…?
If you are in a new relationship where one of you (or both) have been married before, you need to be aware of these forces pulling at you from all sides. You need to evaluate way more factors in your and their lives than when you got married first time around.
What could you do to strengthen the relationship?
Relax and take it slowly. Realise that the whole setup is complex and that this is part of a package deal. Establish clear communication with your new love about the expectations and pit-falls. Especially when kids are around – it doesn't matter whether full-time or just every second weekend – you need to have clear instructions what you can and can't say or do.
You want to be respected by their kids and depending on their age you want to be able to enforce boundaries if necessary. You and your new spouse need to have a mutual agreement on what is acceptable and what is not. You also want to establish a trusting, happy and healthy relationship with these children, helping them to feel secure and safe within the new family unit. Clear discussion and the set-up of healthy boundaries and relationship roles will help with this immensely.
Talk to your new partner and let them know about any concerns or difficulties you have with the current situation and that you want to invest in your relationship to make it work. For your own benefit, give your new relationship time to evolve, and most importantly, give everyone else involved in this package deal enough time to adjust to the new situation.
Very well expressed. I know what you are talking about but we luckily could manage 15 years in th second marriage quite well. Even so it's constant process of communicating honestly about whats going on here na now day by day, week by week.
Thank you for your kind words, Peter.
I concur, it is a day by day work.

Barra's a player of the highest quality
A respectful and reserved young man, yet slightly different and a little alternative, but cut from same cloth as other league footballers.
That was the first memory I have of David when I called him after he was drafted to Fremantle.
I made a habit of calling Fremantle's new draftees early in my career and I recall him being humble and even shy on the phone. That was the first insight into his observational and inquisitive nature.
The first time we met was on the edge of the Swan River in Mosman Park, WA. He was shy and it almost came across as if he wasn't too sure what all of this AFL business was about.
When David first came to the club, Peter Bell coined the nickname Barra for him and that name instantly stuck – it's one of the better nicknames I've come across in my time.
Your first memories are generally based on character. As a footballer, it then turns to on field. There is a vivid moment that sticks out in my mind about his first pre-season at Fremantle.
We were on the training track at Fremantle Oval and I was leading to him, he kicked the ball and it proceeded to hit me flush on the chest, I thought, 'wow, this guy can really kick.' For a first-year player, he was incredibly well balanced and skilled by foot.
He spent most of his first year playing for Subiaco in the WAFL across the half-back line where he won a premiership with them in his debut season.
I recall watching him just listening and absorbing throughout his first year and quietly maturing as a result.
Like most first-year players, while he was enjoying his football, he wasn't quite sure where he would fit into Fremantle's best 22. He needed to build up his endurance if he was going to become a midfielder and he wasn't quite big enough to become a key position player. He had a lot to learn and improve on, but fortunately for Freo fans, there was a very sound base to build from.
It was obvious he had talent and importantly the necessary determination in spades to give himself the best opportunity to be successful.
As most players do, they can take a while to understand what's required of them in terms of work ethic, discipline, determination and dedication when they start their AFL journey. Barra was no different, yet a very wise head meant he would always figure it out.
He was a steady and well-balanced young man who didn't get too emotional about things – positive or negative.
It's a great strength when AFL players can handle the ever present ups and downs. I've often thought if one can handle the roller-coaster that is the AFL, then they would generally have a lengthy career.
Barra has a unique perspective on things. His difference of opinion was invaluable when we began working closely together as part of the leadership group. Often, there can be a lot of similar thinking because of the nature of the industry that we are all in, but he would often come into a meeting with a different outlook.
Even though he was conservative and reserved, when he did hold court, he spoke with great authority.
Early on, leadership was thrust upon him and I think he wasn't entirely ready for it, still working on his game during that time. It took him a while to warm up to leadership and to really understand the weight he carried and the capacity he had as a leader.
I saw him develop enormously during this time, to the point where he felt comfortable to stand up and lead.
While he is no longer captain, he's an incredible leader and always leading by example. He's worked closely with Nathan Fyfe in helping him harness those qualities.
Barra's been a player of the highest quality for a long time.
When you walk down the race you want to be able trust those you walk next to implicitly. Barra was one of those. You always knew what you were going to get from him. Rarely did he let you down.
I remember Round 17, 2015 where he kicked a goal against Richmond at the MCG near on the siren to win the game. When he had the ball in hand, I thought to myself that he was the right person for the job.
He's had that moment and that kick more than once. It typifies the sort of player he is. One who puts himself in those big moments, and one who wants the ball in such moments.
Typical of Barra though, his celebrations are always understated and unobtrusive. True to himself all the way. In a world where uniformity is expected, his authenticity is admirable.
To be such a steady and consistent performer over such a long-time means that he has strong integrity; he does what he says he'll do.
He's a great role model to his three children and the wider community.
There are not a lot of people, other than those boys he's played with, that know him as a bit of a tightarse. To this day we joke that he still has the first dollar he ever earned. I can count on one hand the number of beers he's bought me.
I heard him say earlier this week that he was just a kid from Seymour, with his eyes wide open when he first came to WA.
He wasn't sure what he wanted to do away from football but after years of contemplation, he finally kicked himself into gear. He's spent time working hard away from the field and has built a life with his wife Sally and university study.
Barra has grown both as a footballer and a man.
He has always been sublime with ball in hand and has been able to turn himself into a hard inside midfielder. He will be proud of what he's achieved on field, but it's what he is universally admired for at the Fremantle Football Club off field, that he should be most proud of. His unique self. Welcome to the club Barra.


The fourth day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Africa started off with David Tlale's show and as always David had to be different, with his show being held outdoors outside the "The Creative Counsel" building in Melrose. The collection was inspired by women who are not afraid to be feminine, bold and still command attention.
The AFI Fasttrack winners showcased their Capsule collections. Jessica Ross's collection was inspired by Russian orthodox churches and the rich, luxuriant colours with which they are filled. Exterior as well interior architecture provided inspiration. Her collection was simply yet elegant.
Naazneen Kagee is a graduate of the Cape Town College of Fashion Design, was inspired by traditional Russian dress. It incorporates various textures to create rich, opulent garments, without compromising on simplicity. I love that her collection has a sporty feel to it and it can easily be worn anywhere.
Rich to introduce his seemingly paradoxical concept of minimal "maximalism", Rich made sport look cool to me and I could definitely see myself in all of his garments. I think its safe to say that his collection is on of my favourites. I hope to own an Oath by Rich Mnisi soon. Saving for it.
"earthy" feel mixed with a modern edge to create the label's signature, sports luxe aesthetic.
"Twenty-Four Hours in Mumbai", Murade's Spring/ Summer 2014/15 Collection, was chiefly inspired by the rich, diverse colours of Indian spices. The remaining elements – such as texture and structure – are all influenced by this colour inspiration.
Valuing bold aesthetics and sustainable development, LaurenceAirline merges the creativeness of Africa with the sophisticated standards of modern living. Within this paradigm, collections help build Africa's modern reality into the international fashion scene.
uncertainty. It will combine signature patterns and colours from past collections while introducing new elements. Laduma's collection was unique and different from what we have seen on the runway. The patterns were absolutely amazing.
I need to get rich fast so I can buy clothes straight from the highway. I had a a lovely experience at the MBFWAfrica 2014.

Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) is an digital audio format that originally was developed for editing high-resolution recordings recorded in DSD, the audio standard used on Super Audio CD (SACD). As the 1-bit DSD format used on SACD is not suitable for editing, alternative formats such as DXD or DSD-Wide must be used during the mastering stage. In contrast with DSD-Wide or DSD Pure which offers level, EQ, and crossfade edits at the DSD sample rate (64fs, 2.822 MHz), DXD is a PCM signal with 24-bit resolution (8 bits more than the 16 bits used for Red Book CD) sampled at 352.8 kHz – eight times 44.1 kHz, the sampling frequency of Red Book CD. The data rate is 8.4672 Mbit/s per channel – three times that of DSD64. DXD also utilizes the vast array of plugins also available to PCM based digital audio workstations, such as Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer, etc.

Important Information about Modern World of CrossFit for Beginners
CrossFit is a unique phenomenon in the world of sports. For those who want to know more about it, this article is suitable. In it, we will try to consider all the necessary information to start classes!
List of Interesting Facts about CrossFit Sport
In recent decades, the world has seen the rise of many new sports. Among these "newcomers" is CrossFit. Already, millions of people around the world are doing exercises on this system. And this has led to the fact that CrossFit is considered as one of the top sports. Let's look at the basic facts about him and find out why CrossFit is so popular!
1. Sport Created by One Person
Greg Glassman is a name that every professional athlete or even beginner knows. It was he who, back in the distant 1980s, began to develop his own system of exercises that would help people achieve their goals without long and tedious workouts with simulators in gyms. However, the owners of the facilities in which Glassman taught beginners were opposed to such innovations. Therefore, until 2000, when the first specialized gym for CrossFit opened in the city of Santa Cruz, the whole fate of the new sport hung solely on Glassman's initiative!
2. The Military and Rescue Workers Were also Interested in the Novelty
Very remarkable is the story that happened at the dawn of the founding of CrossFit. When not a single gym was created, and the program itself was not patented, the military came to the aid of Glassman. As the creator himself said, he received a call on his phone from one of the officers of the US Army, asking how much it would cost to train his wards. As noted by many experts, it is CrossFit that maximizes the skills that the military, as well as firefighters and rescuers, use in everyday life. For example, CrossFit sport is currently being practiced in many military and police institutions, including the Danish Royal Guard. This says a lot about the value of this program for professionals and for ordinary people.
3. Passed not without Scandals
At the very beginning of the sport's journey, Glassman was helped by his wife, Lauren Genai. However, when the company began to develop between the spouses, misunderstandings arose. After the divorce, Genai tried to sell her stake in the company to outside investors. However, Glassman did not allow this to be done and took out a loan of as much as $16 million to do it himself.
4. CrossFit Develops Several Physical Indicators at the Same Time
A feature of CrossFit is the maximum study of all available physical indicators: agility, strength and endurance. In a word, after training hard, you will jump higher, run longer and carry more. This is achieved due to the fact that in one workout you do the most different exercises in compressed time intervals. Moreover, the exercises do not focus on any specific muscles but develop general physical fitness immediately. That's a piece of good news for beginners!
5. CrossFit Is a Decentralized Sport
It sounds strange that sports can be decentralized, but it is true. The whole system is built in such a way that each trainer who receives a teaching license can make some changes to the program. Of course, this does not change the general meaning of the entire workout, and the concept remains the same. However, if you need to replace some exercises or adjust the workout to your body, then you will not have any restrictions. Moreover, this means that if you want to train other people in the system, then you just need to take special courses and get a certificate!
6. Any Sports Equipment Is Suitable for Performing Exercises.
It is better to do sport in specialized gyms. The reason is very simple. During a workout, you may need literally everything from dumbbells and barbells to medicine balls and expanders. This diversity once again proves that CrossFit is the most versatile sport for beginners, which so far has no analogue in the world.
7. One of the Most Massive Championships
CrossFit Games is an international tournament where athletes from all over the world show what they are capable of. But another thing is striking, literally, anyone is allowed to participate! Due to the special system of holding, which takes place in several stages, at the very first stage, any athlete or even beginner can submit his application for participation. All this leads to the fact that tables with the names of participants can contain thousands and even tens of thousands of surnames. In order to apply, it is enough to simply perform a series of exercises on camera or in special gyms. After that, you will be given feedback!
8. Has Millions of Fans around the World.
CrossFit is not only fun to do, but just as fun to watch. Any championship, both official and non-official, attracts the attention of the public. For example, more than two hundred thousand people and sports beginners from all over the world came to the final of one of the last CrossFit Games. This is a staggering figure that even major football tournaments rarely achieve!
9. Full Gender Equality in CrossFit
Perhaps, CrossFit is the only sport that is fully accessible to both men and women beginners. According to statistics, there is almost complete equality in terms of gender distribution. Therefore, no matter what gender you are, sport is waiting for you!
Don't Waste Your Time!
If you want to take care of your body and make it what you have long dreamed of, then CrossFit is your choice. Thanks to this program, any beginner will be able to master all the necessary skills and stab body in the shortest possible time!
