Real estate disputes over fences: It is not uncommon | Cuevas & Associates, P.A.
Sometimes, there is common ground between houses, which might prompt neighbors to share the cost of a fence. However, what happens if one person wishes to replace a fence and thinks a neighbor should split the cost but that neighbor disagrees and refuses to do so? Fences that are located on boundary lines typically belong to the both owners of the adjacent properties.
In such situations, one owner would have to consult with the other before taking down a fence or making any changes to an existing structure. If a tree grows so that it reaches beyond a fence, most state regulations allow the owner of the property where the tree has encroached to trim or remove foliage, branches, etc., provided it does not damage the rest of the tree on the other side. If neighbors agree to replace a fence, build one, or even paint one that is already standing, they would do well to write out the terms of their agreement in a signed contract.
In a perfect world, neighbors would always get along and there would be no such thing as real estate disputes. In reality, it is unfortunate but not uncommon that Florida neighbors might disagree about local ordinances, homeowners' regulations or other issues. If a concerned party believes that amicable discussion has failed to resolve a particular issue, he or she can reach out for experienced legal support.


How did that song go? It's like [a] train on your wedding day? It's a free ride when you already paid? Something like that, maybe.
CityLab's Eric Jaffe talked to Metro's creative director Michael Lejeune about the history behind the Metro "M" logo. Prior to the creation of the present-day logo, Metro's logo was a little too similar to Washington D.C.'s WMATA. It was also difficult to read and used without consistency in a variety of colors and formats.
Lejeune and a newly formed in-house creative team went to work on making the Metro brand stand out. The first move was to add a splash of color to the Metro bus fleet and then the team looked to create a new, standardized logo.
The notch does separate L.A.'s "M" from other designs, but Lejeune says it isn't just for show. Rather, the idea was that splitting the letter reflected the agency's dual mission: on one hand Metro is a transportation provider, and on the other side it's a planner and visionary for L.A. mobility. "The thought with that 'M' was it's two sides of the house, and they come together, and it's a holistic circle," he says.
For anyone interested in hearing more about what went behind Metro's redesign, Lejeune spoke about it during a talk at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in 2012. You can view the talk below (grab some popcorn though, the video is more than an hour).
Over at Gizmodo, Alissa Walker has a great post exploring what might become of public transit as Uber and Lyft experiment with services that look identical to what public transit offers. We mentioned one of those, Uber's Smart Routes, on Tuesday.
Alissa is sticking to public transit because to her it represents a world full of transit options, including high-speed trains, smart buses, biking, walking, kayaks and "hover-boardy things." It's a world that allows an individual to consider factors like convenience, cost and time when deciding the best transit option. But as rideshare companies fill in the gaps for public transit — for example, by partnering with transit agencies to solve the first mile last mile problem – she wonders what's to stop riders from using the service for the entire trip when cost is low enough it's no longer a factor.
…Uber's success will lead to what's essentially privatized mass transit. That's not really a concern in a place like New York City where ridership is very healthy and the subways are the best way to get to many places. But when you look at any smaller American city that's trying its darnedest to get a new transit system off the ground, ridership numbers make a difference. Building new infrastructure requires the numbers to back it. If elective riders—the people who have a choice—aren't boarding, that transit system is going to fail.
You can bet that discussions about whether rideshare companies should be treated as partners or competition are taking place at many public transit agencies across the country. It appears thus far it's the former.
By the way, we also posted a story yesterday about how carpooling might make a comeback with the help of technology. Put that in the context of this story, and it actually sounds like carpooling may soon rule the transit world.
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute released its annual Urban Mobility Scorecard report on the most congested cities in the United States. Topping their list this year is Washington D.C., where commuters lose about 82 hours of delay every year.
Must be tough to live in D.C., eh? Well, Los Angeles drivers don't fare much better losing 80 hours stuck in traffic every year, putting L.A. in second place on the institute's list. San Francisco, New York and San Jose rounded out the top five.The report also found that traffic levels are back to pre-recession levels largely thanks to the rebounding job marketing putting more people on the road.
Now is the time I tell you that Metro riders don't have to worry any of this and can use their commute time for better things like reading or napping, but you already knew that right?
And here's an article that looks to debunk the report above. It's sort of their thing. You be the judge.
Phoenix voters yesterday passed a .3 cent sales tax to help fund the city's $31.5 billion transportation plan. The proposition passed with 55 percent of the vote with about 35,000 votes left to be counted.
The tax will be added to existing .4 cent transportation sales tax, making Phoenix's total sales tax 8.6 percent starting next year. The tax will last 35 years and will be a funding source for new light rail projects and expanded bus service. More than half of the tax will also go to improving the city's existing bus service and a little less than one-third for maintaining and expanding its nascent light rail system.
Drone footage over the public preview of the Tilikum Crossing transit bridge in Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago. A celebration took place over the weekend in anticipation of the bridge and the TriMet Orange Line opening in September. The bridge will carry the new light rail line, as well as buses, streetcars, bicyclists and pedestrians over the Willamette River.
I think this article writer is beating the drums too harshly.
1. There's nothing wrong with privatization so long as competition exists. Competition is good, monopoly is bad. Competition gives consumers lower prices and better services. There is competition in the rideshare sector: Uber vs. Lyft vs. sidecar vs. taxi cabs. There is monopoly in the mass transit sector: municipally run government transit agencies. If by chance Uber, etc. starts running bus-like fixed routes on bigger vehicles like shuttle vans and buses, then it destroys the public transit monopoly and leads to competition. All the better for consumers overall as it will lead to lower prices and better services.
2. In the event that Uber or other rideshare services lead to places like NYC, Boston and San Francisco somehow "magically" privatizing their mass transit systems, then what that means less federal grants go to them and more pieces of the federal grant pie are available to be spread out to other cities that have struggling public transit services. Just because NYC privatizes mass transit doesn't mean LA will follow suit either. Instead, one could see that as a big plus for LA as now, they won't be competing for federal grants against NYC, Boston or San Francisco. LA will be able to get a bigger piece of the pie that once used to go toward NYC, Boston, and San Francisco. Of course, the catch is that perhaps LA might also one day be one of the transit agencies that goes full privatization and gets no more federal grants, but that doesn't necessarily mean public transit services in places like Fargo, ND or Juneau, AK will either.
And now we wait for the socialists and the workers of the world unite folks (ironically, very likely to be Apple and Android product owners and Uber and Lyft users themselves) come marching in waving their red flags for their Bolshevik Revolution in three, two, one….
RE: Uber is out to destroy public transit!!!!
Much of these can be easily debunked as shoddy journalism by the sheer fact that Japan exists.
High speed rail systems are actually quite privatized in many places around the world, i.e. the Shinkansen bullet train operated by the JR East Company (stock ticker 9020 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange).
Many Japanese rail systems were built and operated under private enterprise since the 19th century (i.e. Odakyu Railway), many of their buses systems also (i.e. Nishitetsu bus).
Taxi cabs exists in Japan, as does Uber (https://www.uber.com/cities/tokyo) as well as a local competitor called LINE TAXI (http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/8/7513161/line-taxi-launches-in-japan-to-battle-Uber).
Japan still makes Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas, Mazdas, Mitsubishis and Kawasakis, Suzukis, and Yamahas.
Many people still use bicycles to get around in Japan.
Much of our rails we use today here in the US are actually built by Japanese corporations such as Nippon Sharyo, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Kawasaki Heavy Rail.
All of them, are run by PRIVATE corporations, not government funded, not under public sector control.
That being said, I don't see choices being limited in Japan just because there's not "public" transit.
While railroads in Japan were private in the 19th century, and are private now, they were wholly government-owned between the end of World War II and and 1980s, and prior to that time the government had been a key player in railroad development since the 1870s, through the JGR and the Industry Ministry. At exactly the time California was ripping out rights-of-way and allowing its private commuter rail networks to die, the Japanese government was heavily subsidizing it's rail networks and protecting it from competition and funding significant innovations. It's not clear that if JR were private through the middle of the 20th century, they would have stayed in business, let alone developed HRT. In the US we heavily subsidized air and auto travel after World War II; while contrarily we made private railways in the US completely fund their own infrastructure and maintenance and pay exorbitant property taxes — there were counties in places like Kansas and New Mexico that funded their entire public school programs and police departments through railroad property taxes.
It's difficult to make a perfect comparison to a market like, say, California. Even though JR is a private company it holds a virtual monopoly over all rail transport in Japan — commuter, subways, interurban and freight. This allows significant cross-subsidy, and in the US we generally don't allow that level of horizontal and vertical integration, and when we do the people who run the operation always abuse it.
Also, just by the by, it's unclear exactly how profitable passenger rail operations are in Japan; only JR East is consistently profitable and it's well-known that they actually make the lion's share of their revenue from land operations, from rent on space in their stations, airspace over their underground ROWs and stations, and the large marginal land appendant to the ROWs, which were, just as in the US, mostly established by the government in the 19th century.
The assumption you are making is solely on JR, which was a nationalized railway system called JNR that later privatized.
Please do your research first before making assumptions.
That said, I'm not sure this really helps the case that Uber doesn't compete with municipal transit systems. We can't really make comparisons with Japan because Japan's regulatory environment, natural resources (read: lack of oil), rail infrastructure capitalization and ownership patterns are completely different.
Of course, one can just as easily say the same thing that LA is totally different from Dallas, Denver, San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Paris, London, Berlin, Oslo, etc. etc. as well.
We really can't make comparisons with California because our state regulatory environment would be different from State of NY or the country of the UK. We can't make comparisons with California with our own regulations regarding natural resources which requires special blends and higher cost of gasoline from say, Texas or Colorado. We can't really compare rail infrastructure capitalization and ownership patterns as well between say the United States and Taiwan.
But what you can't do is also pick and choose what you like (i.e. how transit is run in US and Europe) and dislike (i.e. how transit is run in Asia) and try to make an argument solely looking at the places that you like, while disregarding everything can be said that it's totally different from one city to another city.
You can start by making Uber and Lyft rides being payable with TAP cards. In other countries, transit cards have the ability to pay for cab rides and so much more, not just public transit.

Juan Pablo Rojas Paúl (Caracas, Estado de Venezuela, 26 de noviembre de 1826 – ibídem, 22 de julio de 1905) fue un político miembro del Liberalismo Amarillo, abogado, experto en temas fiscales, venezolano presidente de la República desde 1888 a 1890, durante el período post-guzmancista del período conocido como Liberalismo Amarillo.

Biografía

Ministro de Hacienda del segundo gobierno de Antonio Guzmán Blanco, se encargó de modernizar los sistemas de recaudación aduanera y de diseñar medidas fiscales para estimular la industria nacional. Durante algunos años, ejerció como Cónsul Honorario de Ecuador ante el gobierno venezolano. Fue el tercer presidente civil de Venezuela, después de Cristóbal Mendoza y José María Vargas, elegido por el Consejo Federal (en elecciones de tercer grado) con el pleno apoyo de Guzmán Blanco.

Gobierno
Intentó conciliar entre los seguidores de Antonio Guzmán Blanco y Joaquín Crespo, los verdaderos representantes del poder en Venezuela en esos momentos y estaban enfrentados. Fue el primer civil electo presidente de Venezuela en concluir el mandato constitucional para el que fue elegido. A lo largo de su mandato rompió relaciones con el guzmancismo al rechazar los términos de un empréstito negociado por Guzmán en Francia. Se abría así una fuerte pugna en el Liberalismo Amarillo y abriendo el camino a la escogencia de Raimundo Andueza Palacio para la sucesión presidencial.

En su breve gobierno de dos años (establecido por la constitución de 1881) creó la Academia Nacional de la Historia (ANH), en Caracas, designando como Académicos a representantes de las más variadas corrientes políticas del momento.

Contrario a la política anti-clerical de Guzmán Blanco, Rojas Paúl autorizó la creación de las facultades de ciencias eclesiásticas con los colegios nacionales de Maracaibo y Barquisimeto; trajo a las monjas francesas de San José de Tarbes, ayudó a establecer en el país la congregación y las Hermanitas de los Pobres, además, construyó y remodeló numerosas edificaciones religiosas.
A Rojas Paúl también le tocó inaugurar el cable submarino La Guaira-Antillas Francesas-Europa, desvelar el lienzo Batalla de Carabobo, de Martín Tovar y Tovar, en el salón Elíptico de Capitolio; y decretar la fundación de la Academia Nacional de la Historia. Durante su mandato se editó la obra «Gran recopilación geográfica, estadística e histórica de Venezuela» del general Manuel Landaeta Rosales.

Las construcciones religiosas y hospitalarias (el aún existente Hospital Vargas de Caracas, por ejemplo) son las obras más resaltantes de la administración de Rojas Paúl. Su gobierno tuvo que enfrentar la rebelión de Joaquín Crespo, que organizó un fallido alzamiento. Dominada la situación, Crespo tuvo que marcharse al exilio.

En el gobierno de Rojas Paúl se produjeron manifestaciones antiguzmancistas. Hubo saqueos tanto en la capital como en el interior del país. Estos hechos precipitaron la ruptura del gobierno con Guzmán Blanco, quién pretendía continuar gobernando indirectamente desde París.

Después de la presidencias
Tras un largo exilio, regresa a Venezuela en 1897 y al poco tiempo enviuda. Tras el triunfo en 1899 de la Revolución Liberal Restauradora con el general Cipriano Castro a la cabeza, Rojas Paúl presenta su nombre en las elecciones de 1900 para formar parte de una Asamblea Constituyente que confirmaría a Castro como presidente.

En 1905, desde el lecho de muerte, en su condición de senador, emitiría su voto favorable para la designación de Cipriano Castro y Juan Vicente Gómez como Presidente y Vicepresidente respectivamente. Se ha conocido su frase: «Ahí va la única república en América Latina», cuando la deposición del emperador de Brasil, Pedro II de Brasil, en 1889.

This is Why Egypt is Planting 100 Million Trees
Egypt has launched its 2050 national strategy for climate change, which outlines the country's vision for reducing emissions in various sectors to maintain sustainable economic growth, promoting the use of renewable energy sources, producing energy from waste, and using alternative energy forms like green hydrogen.
Included in Egypt's green initiative is the bold step to plant 100 million trees, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly briefed his cabinet on Sunday detailing the first step of which is a drive to plant trees along the country's highways.
Minister of Local Development Mahmoud Sharaawy stated 9,900 locations across the country covering more than 6,600 feddans have been chosen to build forests and public parks.
Sharaawy added that the initiative would be carried out through collaboration between government and non-government organizations.
Minister of Environment Yasmine Fouad, who also attended the cabinet meeting, stated that the president's initiative to plant 100 million trees is intended to double the amount of green space per person, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gasses, and ultimately improve public health. She also emphasized that the initiative's goals extend beyond those related to the environment and public health to include tangible economic benefits.
Furthering its commitment to cutting carbon emissions, Egypt has initiated a number of initiatives to expand the use of renewable energy sources and modernize its transportation system by constructing electric trains.
Egypt plans to encourage farmers to adopt new crop genotypes and technologies and build resilience to unusual weather in the Nile Delta. This move is to address the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity, livelihoods, and food security within Egypt's borders.
The plan itself has been greeted positively online, with many praising the government's actions in the lead up towards the COP27, the United Nations Climate Change Conference set to take place in Sharm El Sheikh later this year.

Stonekeep is a role-playing dungeon crawler developed and published by Interplay for the PC in 1995. The designer Peter Oliphant planned to complete the game in just nine months, but he ended up spending almost 7 years in development (counting platform shifts and delays). Though taking a record amount of time to develop, it was well worth the wait.
Set in a fantasy world and taking place completely underground, Stonekeep is a literal dungeon crawler, like Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master. Play as Drake, the sole survivor of the destruction of Stonekeep at the hands of the mad god Khull-Khuum. Khull-Khuum has imprisoned the other gods inside magical orbs and hidden them away. During the destruction of Stonekeep, Drake is saved by a mysterious figure. Now an adult, Drake returns to the ruins of Stonekeep to avenge his past and free the benevolent gods of his realm. There is no character creation element to this game and Drake's initial stats are pre-set, though you can still equip him with different weapons and armor. Seeing the world from a first-person perspective fight monsters in real-time combat, avoid traps, and find treasures. Drake can also have up to three people in his party, though controlled by computer AI.
Stonekeep also has an elaborate magic system utilizing combinations of different runes that must be attached to staves. Choosing might or magic embark on an epic adventure through the castle of Stonekeep and what lies beyond.
Stonekeep uses digitized pictures and animations of live actors as the characters, pre-rendered environments, and live-action cutscenes to build the atmosphere. With original visual monster designs and an eerie soundtrack, this game definitely sets the mood. Though met with mixed opinions upon its release, it won a few awards, including Role-Playing Game of the Year and #10 Top Vaporware Title in Computer Game History. This immersive game will keep you playing for hours.

Q: Is there a way to view weblogic logs within eclipse? We deployed a project with weblogic, and logging isn't too fun.
Is there a way for custom logs and/or weblogic logs to be seen within the Console of eclipse? I know there is a redirect option for output within the weblogic console, but is there a way to simply copy the logs so I can see them within eclipse as well?
If not, is there a way to see only custom logs within eclipse? (ex: manually writing LOG.debug("This is a test error and here is the stacktrace: " + e.printStackTrace());, and being able to see that within eclipse, rather than having to view it somewhere else)?
Thanks,

GLOBAL LIFE INDEX
The overarching mission of the Global Life Index is to publish a yearly index where individual countries are scored on how well they handle and prevent suicide.
The index done by JOSHI, the Journey for Obstructing Suiciding and Helping Intervention follows the example of the World Peace Index. The World Peace Index grades countries around the world on how peaceful they are by determining violence rates, instances of war, and the like. They do this to encourage nations to enact more policies intended to create a more peaceful society.
With the GLI, we want to encourage nations to enact more policies and better policies to prevent suicide by grading them and comparing them to other nations. The founder calls this process "the grade school method." With this method, nations see their score and react by wanting to improve their ranking, stay where they are, or not care about their score. Just like grade school. In grade school, they have teachers giving those grades to the students. The GLI is like the teacher. The nations also have "family members" back at home who have to deal with the "scored students". Those "family members" are the citizens of the countries. Those "family members" decide how to deal with the score given to the country. Will they ask the "student" to change or not? Will they change themselves to ensure their "student" improves? After the GLI gives the scores, it is up to the citizens living in the country and especially the citizens in government to get the nation to improve so that lives can be saved.
The founder used to live in Utah where there is an initiative called 0 Fatalities working to make it so no one dies in a car accident ever again. He used to look at their billboards and think "why aim for the impossible?" As he thought about it, he realized with future improvements in car safety, there could really be a day with zero fatalities. Could there be a day with zero suicides?
Suicide is a complex issue and needs creative solutions. It involves the suicidal person, but also overarching environments, personal biologies, random situations, and so much more. With so much on the plate, this does not mean there is no hope. The road to a suicide rate at 0 or incredibly close to 0 may take decades or centuries. If nothing is done, it will take eons. With this in mind, let's look at the scores and do what is needed to improve so lives can be saved.
The below explanation reads like a college paper. A simpler explanation can be found in the GLI 2022 tab.
How scoring works?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a packet which presented a "compilation of strategies to achieve and sustain substantial reductions" of suicides. This packet helped JOSHI decide what indicators would be used to calculate the GLI score.
Reference: Preventing Suicide: A Technical Package of Policy, Programs, and Practices. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2017.
Suicide rates and rate changes
In addition to information from the packet, JOSHI used the most recent suicide rate and the suicide data of a decade ago. This is to show the suicide rate now and whether the graded nation succeeded in lowering their suicide rate in the last decade. These indicators present whether there has been progress, and grades the nation on whether they have been trying and succeeding in lowering past suicide rates. This indicator is put in the score calculation as the suicide rates themselves, and the 10 year decade changes are in the score as rates of change represented as -1 to 1. To account for differences between male and female suicides, we also use the different gendered rates. To account for age, we also use the Global Burden of Diseases' suicide rates. For calculation purposes, if data is blank, the world average is used. Nations in the data are generally considered to be nations and have data included in the Global Burden of Disease data or the Global Health Observatory data. Some nations did not have data from GBD or GHO (Greenland, and some pacific nations), and they had data come from other sources.
This data came from the following sources.
Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network. Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) Results. Seattle, United States: Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), 2020.
Rates also taken from 2009 results.
Global Health Observatory: Global Health Estimates 2019: Deaths by Cause, Age, Sex, by Country and by Region, 2000-2019. Geneva, World Health Organization; 2020.
Some of the rates for Pacific nations came from the paper linked here
Some rates for Greenland came from the following link
Explained below are the proposed strategies that came from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the indicators the GLI uses that were inspired by these strategies. Some of them are not scored on because some proposed strategies are incredibly rare in all countries. The data is converted to be on a scale either from 0 to 1 or -1 to 1 (sometimes a bit over or a bit under) for the calculation. This gives more weight to the actual number of suicides, but still rewards or demerits nations on their progress of preventing suicide.
Strengthening Economic Supports
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend economic supports are strengthened to prevent suicides that may be encouraged by the result of a drastic economic change in one's life. They explained that "studies from the U.S. examining historical trends indicate that suicide rates increase during economic recessions marked by high unemployment rates, job losses, and economic instability and decrease during economic expansions and periods marked by low unemployment rates, particularly for working age individuals." Factors such as "job loss, long periods of unemployment, reduced income, difficulty covering medical, food, and housing expenses, and even the anticipation of financial stress may increase an individual's risk for suicide" or lead to other health problems. They recommend communities strengthen household financial security and have housing stabilization policies. In addition to helping people have home stability, they also recommend helping the homeless with food, medical care, job training, child care, and other expenses for daily living.
To measure household financial security, we use the Economic Decline Index that measures the strength of a nation's economy and the nations rank on homelessness with data provided from Wikipedia. Homelessness data overall needs to be more widespread.
We also use the Political Stability Index to measure the stability of a nation's government. This can also be applied to other areas of the data.
The data came from the following sources:
The Global Economy Economic Decline Index
The Global Economy Political Stability Index
Strengthen Access and Delivery of Suicide Care
The CDC recommends strengthening access and increasing delivery of suicide care in order to prevent and decrease suicide rates. They recommend the approach be done in three ways: covering mental health in insurance policies, reducing provider shortages, and having safer suicide care through system changes.
Safer suicide care through systems changes and covering mental health in insurance policies are indicated by the expenditure of mental healthcare compared to the full healthcare expenditure of a nation. If a nation does not have information on this, the world average is used in calculation. In 2021, we used data on whether a nation has public healthcare, but as it did not ascertain to whether it allowed public healthcare for mental healthcare, we did not use it for 2022.
The CDC says that "implementation of evidence-based treatments, continuity of care, and continuous quality improvement" are vital. The evidence-based treatments and quality improvements are not able to have an indicator because of lack of data, but continuity of care can be indicated by the stability of a nation shown in the political stability index referenced earlier as well as the stability of their economy. Why? If a person's finances are safe, their healthcare access may be safe, or if a person's nation is stable enough to keep public healthcare going then the mental healthcare might continue.
Reduction of provider shortages is scored by how many mental health care workers there are for every 100,000 persons. This score takes the amount of psychologists and psychiatrists in a nation and adds them together, then divides the total by 200. Why 200? this is because the top scorer pertaining to amount of mental health professionals is Argentina at 244 (per 100,000). This is to ensure Argentina gets a kudos on the scale but also to fit the data to our scale of generally rewarding nations on a scale of 1.
The data came from the World Health Organization.
Create Protective Environments
The CDC recommends that a community ensure there is a protective environment to ensure there are less means to kill oneself because "modifying the characteristics of a physical environment to prevent harmful behavior such as access to lethal means can reduce suicide rates. They give three approaches: (1) "reduce access to lethal means among persons at risk of suicide", (2) have "set organizational policies and culture" and (3) having "community-based policies to reduce excessive alcohol use."
The GLI measures the reduction of lethal means by measuring the gun suicide rate and converts it to our scale where most nations are between 0 to 1. If it is above the average then one point is added. If below, a point is subtracted.
JOSHI uses the alcohol-attributable fraction or AAF as the indicator of results of "community-based policies to reduce excessive alcohol use." AAF is the proportion of deaths that would be avoided if alcohol consumption was removed. As alcohol is already widely regulated and widely available, JOSHI needed an indicator that showed the impact of alcohol on a nation's population instead of just how much alcohol a nation drinks. This indicator is also highly important because "acute alcohol use has been found to be associated with more than one-third of suicides and approximately 40% of suicide attempts."
The data comes from the following sources:
Data on gun suicides comes from the University of Australia. AAF data comes from the World Health Organization Global Health Observatory.
Promote Connectedness
The CDC recommends that a community ensure a more connected society to prevent suicides. This does not mean more connected as in more technology, this means an engaged community who join together to combat suicide. They recommend this be done with peer norm programs and community engagement activities. The CDC notes that there is limited evidence, but "existing studies suggest a positive association between social capital (a measure by social trust and community/neighborhood engagement), and improved mental health." There is not enough data to include this as an indicator.
Teach Coping and problem-solving skills
The CDC recommends a community put coping/problem-solving skills into curricula to ensure a potential suicide victim will turn to coping or solving the problem instead. These skills are very important, but there is not yet prevalent data on if countries put this in their curricula. It is assumed this is very rare.
Identify and support people at risk
The CDC recommends that to identify and support people at risk of committing suicide that communities integrate gatekeeper training, crisis intervention, treatment for people at risk of suicide, and treatment for people who may re-attempt after failing to commit suicide. Gatekeeper training is not yet widespread and so will not have an indicator.
There was data included for in 2021 but after further review, it did not seem likely to fit the above recommendation and we may need to wait for more data that may fit.
The specific treatment for people at risk of suicide could have been covered in the mental health care expenditure, but there is not data on how much of the mental health care budget goes to preventing suicides.
Lessen harms and prevent future risk
The CDC recommends that to lessen harm and prevent future risk, a community integrate postvention or helping people cope after a suicide of a community member. They also recommed safe reporting and messaging about suicide. This is determined by how a recent suicide is communicated to the public. If a suicide is reported without coping resources, risk/protective factors, stories of hope/resilience, and suicide prevention messages, then there is a likelihood of suicide contagion. The CDC explained, "exposure to sensationalized or otherwise uninformed reporting on suicide may heighten the risk of suicide among vulnerable invidiuals."
The act of postvention is usually done by smaller communities (cities, towns, not countries) or school districts, so there is no specific data. The safe reporting and messaging also has no specific data, but in the future, could be helped by an analysis of suicide reports in different countries. It is recommended that governments ensure that safe reporting and messaging is required in a community and ensure effective postvention as soon as possible after a reported suicide in the community.

Toronto's historic Guild Inn Estate
The Guild Inn Estate (photo June 14, 2017)
In past decades, those of us who were born and raised west of Yonge Street were usually unfamiliar with the city to the east of it. Likewise, those born east of the city's main street often were unfamiliar the area west of Yonge. This was because the intersection of Queen and Yonge was the retail heart of the city, as the two largest department stores were located there—Eaton's and Simpsons. As well, most of the other important shops were either on Yonge Street or located close to it. To travel to the opposite side of Yonge was rarely necessary.
Until I was an adult in the early 1960s, I never knew anyone who had visited Scarborough's Guild Inn. I never visited the historic property until June 14, 2017, on the occasion of its grand reopening, following a complete restoration and the addition of a new building with expanded facilities.
Located at 201 Guildwood Parkway, the original house on the property was built in 1914 in the Period Revival style, with Arts and Crafts Detailing. This style was popular during and after the First World War. It reflected elements of medieval architecture and possessed Tudor detailing. However, because of its straight lines and unadorned stucco cladding with wood trim, the house was sometimes referred to as being faux-Georgian. Constructed by Colonel Harold Bickford to serve as his family summer residence, it possessed stables and a large garage for his automobiles.
Colonel Bickford was born in "Gore Vale," located in what is now Trinity Bellwoods Park. He was a decorated veteran who served in the Boer and First World Wars. Having acquired considerable financial success as a real estate broker, he purchased property on the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs. On the land, he built a 33-bedroom residence and named it Bickford House. In that decade, the estate was densely forested and remote from the city. On the south side of the home was a terrace with steps that led down to an extensive garden. At southern end of the property was the Scarborough Bluffs, and below the steep cliffs was Lake Ontario.
However, due to financial constraints, in 1921 Bickford sold his home and property to the Foreign Missionary Society of the Roman Catholic Church. It served as a boarding school for students of the China Mission College, which sent missionaries to China. In 1923, the house again changed hands when it was bought by an American businessman, Richard V. Look. He renamed it Cliff Acres because of its proximity to the Scarborough Bluffs. However, he vacated the house and relocated to Montreal after living in it for only a year.
The house remained vacant for five years, after which it was purchased by Rosa H. Hewstson. She was a wealthy widow whose husband had owned a shoe company. In August 1932, she married Spencer Clark, the ceremony held on the property. Soon after the honeymoon, the couple converted their multi-bedroom home into an hotel. Next, they built the Estate Building from two former structures on the property and established the Guild of All Arts to create an artists' colony. The Clarks were inspired by Roycroft in East Aurora, New York, a center for the Arts and Crafts movement. The Estate Building and former stables provided accommodations for the artists as well as workshops. The estate offered training for aspiring artists and a wide variety of crafts—weaving, wood working, wrought iron, ceramics, leather tooling and batik. The proceeds from their work as well as the funds from the hotel business helped defray the expenses of operating the program.
In 1932, the Clarks transferred the title to the Scarborough Guild Ltd., and the following year the Kitchen Wing was constructed. In 1933, they offered a paid membership program that included entry to the scenic grounds as well as a series of lectures and concerts.
During World War II, the Department of Veterans' Affairs requisitioned the Guild Inn and renamed it HMSC Bytown II. It became a centre where WRENS received specialized training in operating a wireless. Between 1944 and 1947, it was renamed Scarborough Hall and became a veterans' hospital. In 1947, the estate was returned to the Clarks. They now enlarged the buildings and purchased a further 500 acres to increase the size of the estate. Their property eventually extended from Lake Ontario to Kingston Road and from Livingston Road to Galloway Road.
Near the end of the 1950s, the Clark family and Lakeview Estates Limited transferred part of the land to Higgins Company Limited, and registered the plan to create the Guildwood Village. It consisted of about 400 acres and today, the community is still referred to as "Guildwood Village." It was a small version of the Don Mills subdivision, reflecting the best ideas of urban planning of its day.
It was during the 1950s that Spencer Clark commenced salvaging architectural remnants from important 19th and early 20th century buildings that Toronto was demolishing. They were placed in their garden, and today these relicts from the past are a much-loved part of the Guild Inn Estate. As well, Rosa and Spencer Clark commissioned artworks from notable Canadian sculptors and installed them on the Inn's grounds. It became Canada's first sculpture garden.
In 1965, a 100-room hotel tower was built to the east of the house. In 1978, the Metro Toronto Regional Conservation Authority acquired the Guild Estate for $8 million. However, Spencer Clark continued to operate the Inn.
Rosa Clark passed away in 1981, but Spencer continued to manage the Inn. In 1982, on the 50th anniversary of the Guild Inn, the Greek Theatre was opened, its backdrop the columns salvaged from the Bank of Toronto (built in 1912).
In 1985, Delta Hotels assumed management of the Inn. Spencer Clark died the following year. In 1988, the Giant Step Reality Corporation was granted a 99-year lease for the Inn, but it was terminated in 1993 when the Metropolitan Toronto and Regional Conservation Authority took over the site. However, the Authority's main interest was the bluffs and the shoreline. Unfortunately, Guild Inn Hotel was closed. In 1999, it became a Heritage Property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
In 2001, the Inn was boarded up. However the grounds and sculpture garden remained open and were maintained by City of Toronto. In 2008, the Studio Building, following a fire, was demolished and in 2009, the hotel tower to the east of the Inn was demolished. Meanwhile, the remainder of the buildings began to badly deteriorate. In 2011, the Heritage Canada Foundation stated that the place was "in imminent danger of demolition by neglect." The floors inside the Bickford residence were rotting to the extent that it was unsafe to walk on them. In 2009, a proposal by Centennial College was approved by the city. Then, in 2011 the College submitted a proposal that included condominiums. This plan was rejected.
In 2014, Dynamic Hospitality and Entertainment Group, an 100% Canadian owned company, was chosen to restore the estate. During the restoration, asbestos-filled additions in the original 1914 Bickford House were removed and on its west side, a new banquet hall and gazebo were constructed. The Bickford House, which had endeared the Inn to past generations, was painstakingly refurbished—the staircases, wainscotting and fireplaces. However, the latter were no longer functional.
When restoration of the Inn and surrounding property had been completed, it included an 88-acre park. In the original Bickford residence there were private suites and a restaurant able to accommodate 800 guests. Appropriately named Bickford Bistro, guests can now enjoy a midday lunch or an intimate evening dinner. There are 292 free parking spots on-site. As well, the complex possesses an events space able to host 1000 guest. Both the Bickford Bistro and the events space have terraces that overlook the spacious gardens.
With the reopening of the Guild Estates, I now have another reason to travel east of Yonge Street and become more familiar with Scarborough. It is always a pleasure to dine and then stroll around the grounds of a place that includes so much of the history of our city.

80% of COVID cases in London and eastern England are now from new variant, data shows

Up to 80% of new cases of coronavirus in London and eastern England are the new variant of coronavirus, data published on Friday has revealed.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) infection survey found there were 1,122,000 people with COVID-19 at any one time between between 27 December 2020 to 2 January in England.
London had the highest proportion of people testing positive during that time, with an estimated 3.56% infected with COVID-19, equating to around 1 in 30 people.

The data reveals the extent of the spread of the new COVID-19 variant, which is estimated to be up to 70% more transmissible.
In London, 81% of positive cases from December 28 to January 2 were estimated to be genetically compatible with the new variant, while in eastern England the estimate is 78%.
Two other regions had estimates above 50%: south-east England (67%) and south-west England (53%).
For England as a whole, the ONS estimated 61% of new cases could be the new variant. All figures are for people in private households.
The data comes at the end of week one of England's third nationwide lockdown, which has seen schools close and people advised not to leave their homes except for a limited number of reasons including essential shoppingand medical appointments.
The rapidly spreading new variant of COVID-19 may mean the lockdown will still fail to get the R rate below one, scientists have warned.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has warned the new variant could increase R by between 0.4 and 0.7.
Thursday was the second deadliest day in the pandemic so far, with 1,162 new deaths reported, beaten only by the 1,224 recorded on April 21.
In a separate report, the ONS revealed that England and Wales recorded more deaths in 2020 than any year since the end of the First World War.
The two countries saw more than 604,000 deaths last year as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, amounting to roughly 73,000 more than the five-year average, according to senior statistician Nick Stripe.
Earlier in the week, chief medical officer Chris Whitty warned a "very large number" of people were becoming infected with COVID-19 and that deaths will continue to rise in the coming weeks.
Whitty told a Downing Street press conference on Tuesday that (ONS) estimates suggested that the second lockdown had been successful in bringing down infection rates.
But using five other charts, he warned that the pandemic had reached a worrying stage in the UK where one in 50 people have the virus.
"One in 50 is really quite a large number indeed," he said.
The total number of deaths from COVID-19 in all four nations of the UK, recorded by the government as of Wednesday, now stands at 77,346.

Conscripts Allowed to Photograph Their Files
Published by Alexander Peredruk and Legal Dialogue at 19/11/2016
On 31 August 2016, St. Petersburg City Court upheld a district court's judgement in the case of Artyom Efimov against the Military Commissariat, a military enlistment centre. Efimov had argued that he should be allowed to photograph the contents of his file kept at the Commissariat – a request that the Russian military authorities have traditionally denied. The judgement in Efimov's favour is an important victory in the long fight of human rights organisations for the right of military conscripts to access their personal information collected by Commissariats.
During the autumn 2015 draft campaign, St. Petersburg resident Artyom Efimov requested on several occasions to be allowed to familiarise himself with his local Commissariat file and photograph its contents. The Commissariat's officers agreed to give him access to the file but prohibited his copying it, referring to the absence of relevant provisions in applicable Russian law.
On 28 December 2015, Sergei Baidarov, Chief of the Military Commissariat of Kalininsky District of St. Petersburg, again denied Efimov's request and denied further correspondence with the young man, referring to provisions of the Federal Law on the Procedure of Processing Citizens' Appeals. The conscript, assisted by lawyer Alexander Gorbachev of the Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg, challenged the denial in the Kalininsky District Court. Efimov pressed administrative charges, stating that the military official had imposed arbitrary restrictions on his right to access information, although such restrictions may only be imposed by a federal law and that his case file did not any contain state or military secrets.
On 31 March 2016, just before the start of the spring draft campaign, the Kalininsky District Court issued a ruling which fully satisfied the conscript's claims. The court held that the Military Commissariat had not demonstrated that the conscript's file contained any state secrets. The court further found, based on the Federal Law on Information, Information Technology and Protection of Information, that the Commissariat's decision violated the plaintiff's right to seek and retrieve any information in any form and from any source. Quite expectedly, the military authorities appealed the ruling to the second instance court, but to no avail: exactly five months later, St. Petersburg City Court upheld the district court's finding.
Traditionally in Russia, the entire sphere of relations between the army and society has been difficult for human rights defenders to address, as the military authorities tend to avoid civilian oversight, using state or military secrets as a pretext. But very often violations of conscripts' rights occur at early stages of their enlistment and draft as a result of military officials' failure to observe the law. For example, negligent medical examinations before service often lead to tragic outcomes: soldiers whose health problems have been overlooked can suffer severe consequences and even die from physical exertion in the army. It is therefore essential that civilians may oversee the actions of military officials and access the contents of conscripts' files.
In the Soviet Union, military conscription and draft were shrouded in mystery. Everything, including the list of diseases disqualifying from military service, was kept secret. But even at that time, citizens were fighting against the secrecy. Ella Polyakova, Chair of the Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg and member of the Russian Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, recalls a story from1990 when a group of conscripts' mothers in Latvia borrowed the list of disqualifying diseases from army officers just for one night in exchange for two bottles of cognac and then retyped the list, eventually helping to spread this information all over the country. A copy of this list hung on a wall in the Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg office for quite a long time. A lot has changed since then, e.g. alternative civilian service for objectors has been introduced and the list of disqualifying diseases made available to the public. The Russian Constitution guarantees everyone the freedom to seek and receive information by any lawful means (Article 29) and requires that public authorities and officials should give citizens access to documents and materials directly affecting their rights and freedoms (Article 24). The constitutional right to access information corresponds to relevant international standards, such as Article 10 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Campaigning for more transparency in the army started by demanding access to Military Commissariats for third parties; in 2007, Oksana Paramonova of Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg took military officials to court for denying her access to the venue where recruits gathered before being sent to the barracks. She won the case, and thus broke the first barrier. Since then increasing numbers of civilians have demanded to be shown their files kept by Military Commissariats. In 2013, Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg asked Alexander Shishlov, St. Petersburg ombudsman, to intervene. On 5 December 2014, on the ombudsman's initiative and supported by the Governor of St. Petersburg, the Military Commissariat of St. Petersburg was advised to give recruits and their representatives access to files and provide copies of medical documents. However, the staff of the Commissariats permitted only the viewing of files and making notes on paper, and prohibited taking any photos of the documents. Their reluctance was easy to understand, since many files were not stitched or stapled together, their pages were missing numbers, and some medical records were scribbled in pencil, making it easy for pages to be lost or for others to be added to the file, such as a summons allegedly served, which could then be used to justify the involvement of police in apprehending a conscript.
The recent ruling of St. Petersburg City Court finally put an end to this dispute between military officials and society. Efimov's representative in the proceedings, Alexander Gorbachev, welcomed this outcome as both logical and fair, "There is nothing in the Russian law to prevent conscripts from accessing their files and making copies of documents, including by taking photos of them. Then if any document, such as a medical record, is found to be missing from the file, the conscript will have evidence with which to appeal to higher authorities asking them to verify the legality of such a loss."

He has particular interest in applications of mathematics in areas as diverse as finance, computer programming, particle physics and biology. Another of his interests is improving mathematics learning and teaching in Africa, as well as developing a culture of 'scientific awareness' within the continent.

Could these have been the first computer games?
It is a genre of games that originated in Africa between the 6th and 7th century AD. It has many variations, and is still enjoyed today in Africa and many other places around the world.
I am referring to a family of games called Mancala. These are mathematical games requiring significant strategic thinking, so much so that it has been reported that in some areas of Ghana, it was customary for kings to use such games to demonstrate strategic acumen and mental dexterity. The word Mancala originates from the Arabic word naqala meaning "to move" (wikipedia).
On Friday the 21st of August, I will be giving a presentation on the history of mathematics in Africa. The event will be hosted by the UCT Mathematics Society, in room 212 Mathematics Building, starting at 13hrs00. The talk will briefly trace the development of mathematical practice and thought through out the continent. However, an emphasis will be placed on sub Saharan Africa, as there is little recognition for this region's mathematical achievements. That not withstanding, I will include some of the more recognised, though not well promulgated, contributions from other parts of the continent. As an African, I believe it is incumbent upon us to recognise our own achievements before expecting anyone else to. Lets meet and share information. Africa counts!

What if we just focused on poverty to solve the city's issues?
By Baltimore Sun Editorial Board
Author and CEO of the Robin Hood foundation, Wes Moore, answers questions during a question and answer session during The Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan Speakers Series. (Don Campbell / AP)
We beef up law enforcement to attack crime, devote more funding to try and improve inadequate schools and tackle health disparities by getting more people to the doctor. But what if Baltimore could solve all of its persistent social problems by getting rid of poverty?
It's not all that novel an idea, really. Plenty of research and data have long shown that low-income people fare worse in most lots of life and that pulling one's self up by the bootstraps is not as easy as people make it sound. Remember the prominent Johns Hopkins study released in 2014 that followed the paths of nearly 800 Baltimore children and found that most of those who grew up poor were likely to end up at the lower end of the economic ladder as adults as well?
Baltimore among five communities chosen for four-year anti-poverty initiative
By Yvonne Wenger
Feb 04, 2019 | 12:00 PM
Yet no one has devised a way to lift mass scales of people out of poverty. The New York-based anti-poverty group Robin Hood Beginning wants to try to do that, and Baltimore is one of the cities where it is intervening with a strategy to identify and intervene at points in a person's life that might influence if they get stuck in poverty.
As is true throughout the country, the city's most insidious issues can likely be linked back to poverty. It is not really surprising that in Baltimore, where 22.1 percent of people lived in poverty in 2017, well above the state's 9.4 percent, the crime rate is high, for instance. People will turn to burglary, shoplifting and other crimes to get through life if economic opportunities and jobs don't exist. And there has been little investment in the areas of the city with some of the highest crime rates, according to research funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation that came out this week. Low-poverty neighborhoods receive one and a half times the investment of high-poverty neighborhoods, the analysis found. Neighborhoods that are less than 50 percent African American received nearly four times the investment of neighborhoods that were more than 85 percent African American.
Baltimore city school's method of calculating school poverty rates undercounts many immigrant children, school leaders say. (Kenneth K. Lam, Baltimore Sun video)
Perhaps in these neighborhoods, the risk of getting arrested for peddling drugs may seem better than that of going hungry. What would happen to crime numbers if people in poor neighborhoods had easy access to jobs that paid family-supporting wages?
With more investment, another side effect could be that people's health outcomes might improve as well. The Baltimore City Health Department has documented the health disparities that exist because of poverty. People in low-income neighborhoods such as Upton Druid Heights consistently have more health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes, and die at a younger age than people in wealthier areas such as Roland Park. Beyond physical health, the stress of worrying about having enough food to eat or money to pay the bills can take a toll on people's mental health as well. Families that earn less than $35,000 were four times as likely to report being nervous and fives times as likely to be sad all or most of the time, according to a recent report by the medical journal Health Affairs, which found strong evidence that policies that emphasize economic equity may also have broad health effects. Poor adults may turn to substance abuse or smoking to cope. The children of these families often struggle in school because they are also dealing with the ramifications of living impoverished. Maybe they can't concentrate or are cranky because there wasn't enough food for dinner the night before or they didn't get enough sleep because of police activity outside. Or they can't get comfortable in a bed they share with two other siblings.
We are glad that Robin Hood, headed by bestselling author and Baltimore resident Wes Moore, has chosen to include this city as part of its anti-poverty initiatives. It's time for lawmakers to join Robin Hood in focusing more on economic equity to improve the plight of the city. How many dead-end plans have we seen to spur development in impoverished areas of the city, such as the Pennsylvania Avenue arts and business district? Why not work to bring more industry to neighborhoods where people need jobs so they don't have to take multiple buses to get to work? Make daycare affordable so moms don't have to quit their jobs because they don't have the money to pay someone to watch their kids. Stop with the policies like tax sales for overdue water bills that further throw people into poverty. Give young people opportunities so they see a better way to support themselves than crime. None of this will be easy to accomplish. But we owe it to the city to try.
