Q&A with A Fula's Call: The musical outcome of globalization
Norhan ElhakeemJune 12, 2010
Afro-Jazz fusion Dutch band A Fula's Call, in town for this weekend's Artbeat Festival, are in some ways, living proof that the world is getting smaller.
The band, which formed in 2006, is made up of a melting pot of cultures, effortlessly and 'organically' entailing their musical fusion. Senegalese musical director and vocalist Omar Ka leads German' flautist, Mark Alban Lotz, Dutch guitarist Mark Tuinstra and Iranian Afra Mussawisade, percussionist and band producer. Joining them for their weekend performances across Darb 1718, Cairo Jazz Club, el-Geneina and el-Menya is Egyptian bassist Ahmed Nazmi.
Soft, jazzy melodies are 'africanized' with Ka's strong, passionate vocals sung in Fulani, the language of the Fula, a historically African nomadic tribe, today spread over many countries, predominantly in West Africa.
Highly in-tune with the issues of the day and passionate about the world around them, the band's peaceful melodies invite one to escape political strife. Indeed, with elections in Holland preceding the band's visit to Cairo by a day, with far-right politician Geert Wilders (leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom) gaining 24 out of 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, politics were very much on their minds.
The band's harmonious, soulful melodies captivate and their more upbeat tunes may get you shaking. What's for sure is that their musical blend of jazz with African tunes are in perfect harmony — as the group itself seemed to be. A 45-minute dynamic and at times, hilarious, sit down with A Fula's Call could have gone on much longer.
Al-Masry al-Youm: How did you all come together and form A Fula's Call?
Mussawisade: We all live in Holland and some of us studied music there. Holland is a small country and jazz and world music musicians like us are all somehow connected. That's how we met, we were all part of a community of musicians.
Al-Masry: What themes do your lyrics touch on?
Ka: Inspiration comes from who you are and what you know– these are the roots. You need to go back to the nomads, to nature, back with the animals, back with the children for a better place, or a better life. In terms of politics, I'm mostly focused on back home Africa, where children die everyday, from HIV/AIDS and sickness and nobody cares. One machine gun in Liberia is cheaper than a plate of rice.
Al-Masry: What inspires your music?
Mussawisade: Our songs are based on melodies of Fula culture, which Omar [Ka] shares, and some compositions of Mark [Alban Lotz]. But the mix of it is something which just happens. We just play together and the result of it is a peaceful song, where we all have a part. But we dont think anymore 'ok let's mix Fula music with jazz'. We do it, but we don't think or talk about it. Not only we, but all musicians nowadays. To say 'let's make fusion and have world music, let's mix this and that'– that's kind of over. So there is a new musical language being developed by musicians. You cannot draw the borders between cultural boundaries anymore.
Al-Masry: You arrive in Cairo just as the political scene is shifting in Holland. What do you think gained Geert Wilders his seats in parliament?
Tuinstra: I think it's really fear because he plays with people in Holland. He says things like 'there's going to be a tsunami of Islam'. Everywhere he goes he says exactly the same things, whatever question you ask him. In each answer, he tries to put 'the tsunami of Islam is coming, in Holland there's this war going in the streets of Holland because all the cities are not safe anymore.' It's a lie of course.
Al-Masry: Kind of a common theme across Europe over the last several years…
Mussawisade: Yes, it is something which is happening all across Europe. Many people in the world think that Europeans are all educated people, and that in Europe there's no poverty, but this is totally untrue. That everyone is rich or educated in Europe is as much a lie as all Muslims are terrorists. In Europe, there are children who are hungry. So the desperate in Europe are very open to these kind of extreme ideas, where they think there will be a solution immediately if they vote for such politicians. People start to believe, if we stop Muslims from coming to our country, there will be much more money for us, which is not true. If there's much more money it will be for the rich. So they vote for these politicians, and after some time they see it doesn't work and they don't vote for them. That's how it goes– it's just lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom.
Al-Masry: Do you feel you have a target audience?
Alban Lotz: Musically of course– people interested in African music, people who are interested in world music, they like it. But not politically.
Mussawisade: It's a very small niche in Europe. Of course there is an audience, but the percentage of people that listen to this kind of music is proportionately small to the mainstream.
Alban Lotz: That's what happens with intelligent music. (laughter)
Al-Masry: So you're not building your music around any trends. Why do you think this kind of music appeals less to the masses?
Mussawisade: It is the media. Cheap fast music is made to make money for big companies and it's not necessarily just music companies, could be clothes companies to promote something, they create a band just to sell a product.
Alban Lotz: If there would be more creative music playing out there, more people would recognize creative music, and that would give it more exposure. Stravinsky said: 'The most important element of creating music or receiving music is the moment of recognition.'
A Fula's Call will be performing tonight at el-Genaina stage at 7pm, at Cairo Jazz Club at 11pm; and at el-Menya Roman Theatre Sunday 13 June at 7pm.

Forgive me for being a few days late writing this, within the last few weeks your dad has gotten a new job, we have found a new house, we have packed, moved, and unpacked, squeezed in 4th of July, and celebrated your birthday. Though this has been such a challenging transition, we are doing it for our family's future. Your daddy spent a long time searching for a new job with more pay and better benefits so we could afford the life we want for you. We moved into a bigger house with a yard so you can have somewhere to play. Everything we do, we do for you.
I don't know how you are two years old already. It has been an honor watching you bloom from the quiet, observant, well behaved baby to my free spirited, strong willed, adventurous toddler. Between your independent personality, your blue eyes, and your wild curly blonde hair, everyone who crosses paths with you finds you intriguing and everyone who knows you falls in love with you. People we know say you are my mini-me, but I see a bit of your father peek out occasionally too. Mostly though, all I can see is my one and only uniquely beautiful Torey.
This past year has been rough for our country as we are divided more than ever and heading in the wrong direction. When I start to lose hope I just think of you, and how I already know in just two short years of knowing you that one day you will change the world for the better. You are brave enough, smart enough, and passionate enough to accomplish anything you set your mind to, I have no doubt. I am still not quite sure how I am lucky enough to be your mother, but I try every day to live up to that title the best I can.
Happy 2nd birthday, my sweet girl.

Q: iPhone mobile number using Core telephony As far as my understanding, there is no public API available in iPhone SDK to find the users mobile number.
Can we find the mobile number of iPhone user using the Core telephony framework added in 4.0 SDK?

A: Yes, you can, but it's tricky. It involves using iOS private API, which will determine Apple to reject your app in case you want to post it on the App Store.
Here's what I did:

*

*download and install the class-dump utility:
http://www.codethecode.com/projects/class-dump/

*in the command line go to this folder:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework
and perform the following command:

class-dump CoreTelephony > CoreTelephony.h

This will create a header file in the current directory. Move this
file in the desired directory.

*in your Xcode project, import the CoreTelephony.framework (Xcode 4:
click on the project target -> Build Phases tab -> Link Binary With
Libraries -> + -> select the CoreTelephony.framework in the iOS list
-> click Add)

*import the CoreTelephony.h file using the same method as above Xcode
4: click on the project target -> Build Phases tab -> Link Binary
With Libraries -> + -> Add Other -> select your file in the Finder)

*at the end of the CoreTelephony.h file, add the following:
extern NSString *CTSettingCopyMyPhoneNumber();

*import the CoreTelephony.h in your code and call the above function.

*when building the project, you may find that there are compilation
errors in the CoreTelephony.h - usually an interface declaration
that needs to be moved before another interface declaration or
protocol sequences written incorrectly

*in case you have linking errors, use the following linking flags in
the build settings of your project target:
-force_flat_namespace
-undefined suppress

(Xcode 4: click on the project target -> Build Settings tab -> Linking -> double-click on the values section
of the Other Linker Flags property -> + -> add flags above -> Done

*by now you should be able to get that phone number :)

A: No, the CoreTelephony framework provides some basic information about the carrier and limited info about calls, not much else.
The limited information includes things like the amount of current active calls, the call ID (not a mobile number, just a unique ID that the OS uses to track the particular call) and the state of a call, like whether the call is on hold or not.
The main feature in CallTelephony is an API to check whether or not a carrier allows VoIP over 3G.

A: if u want to get cell phone number from call log then see this link it may be helpful. But i am not sure that after using this apple will aprove ur app.

Facebook Steps Up Crackdown On Anti-Vaccine Groups and Pages
Mar 8, 2019 | 0 |
(WHAS 11) – Social media giant Facebook says it will remove groups and pages that spread misinformation about vaccinations on its site. It's the latest step Facebook and others are taking to stem the tide of misinformation on social media sites. Facebook said Thursday it will take its cue from global health organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which have publicly identified verifiable vaccine hoaxes.
If groups and pages spread those hoaxes, they won't appear in recommendations or in predictions functions when searched for in Facebook. Ads with similar information will be rejected. And content that contains the misinformation won't be shown on Instagram Explore or hashtag pages. Federal health officials have attributed a recent spike in the number of measles cases in part to misinformation that has made some parents shun the vaccine. READ MORE

WHAS-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 11, is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The station is owned by Tegna Inc.


Most of us like to read or hear stories and some of us are creative enough to write them too. If you think you have that creative side in you, then here is an opportunity to inspire you.
The Kahani Project has come up with a story writing contest called A Different Script. The story needs to be of 1500 words and the theme can be anything you like, provided there is one central character who is a disabled person.
The entries that are most liked by the project editors will feature on the Kahani Project website, the podcast, and will also be aired on community radio programs.
Now this does sound interesting. And what's more, the people with the best entries will be given Amazon gift vouchers.
The story can be written in any language, but remember it has to be about a person with a disability. The last date for submission is 9 December.
The Kahani Project was launched to encourage the art of story writing and story telling. Listening to stories is something all children love and stories have the power to make or break characters. Inspiring stories can motivate us, while stories with sad endings introduce us to the darker side of life.
The stories of the Kahani Project are converted to audio stories. Children or adults can listen to the stories in the audio format.
The idea to encourage stories about people with disabilities came from Ekansh Trust, an organization based in Pune. The organization has been working tirelessly to promote Inclusion for disabled people.
There are so many stories around us that are just waiting to be told. Writing a story gives us the opportunity to take inspiration from the world around us and transform it with our own feelings and emotions.
So, what is your story going to be about? Put on your thinking hats and send it in to editor@thekahaniproject.com or info@ekansh.org.

I don't know about you, but if I had my own house, I'd want each room to look as fabulous as those featured in the images above! This stunning homeware collection is by the wonderful Fearne Cotton and can be purchased from the Very website. I love how Fearne has designed vintage-style pieces with a bold colour palette that will easily add personality to your home. The bright pink and turquoise blue look so brilliant together, as they contrast so beautifully. I don't know why but I'd never have thought to put them together until now. Oh and who can resist a flamingo print cushion to top it all off? Not I!
Below I've picked out some of my favourite pieces from Fearne's homeware collection for Very. Now I just need to start saving my pennies so I can 1. Buy a house and 2. Fill it with utterly fabulous furniture like this!
OMG I would love any of these pieces of furniture!

Aung San Suu Kyi (în birmană: အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်; n. 19 iunie 1945, Rangoon, Birmania) este o politiciană din Birmania (Myangma). În 1990 i s-au decernat Premiul Rafto și Premiul Sakharov pentru libertate în gândire. În anul 1991, i s-a acordat Premiul Nobel pentru Pace, ca urmare a eforturilor ei pașnice și non-violente de restabilire a democrației, suprimată de regimul militar opresiv din țara ei.
La alegerile parțiale pentru Camera inferioară a Parlamentului, Pyithu Hluttaw, din 1 aprilie 2012 Aung San Suu Kyi a fost aleasă deputată din partea cirmuscripției electorale Kawhmu.Partidul ei a obținut 43 din cele 45 locuri supuse la vot. La 2 mai 2012 a depus jurământul ca deputată.
La 8 noiembrie 2015 partidul ei, Liga Națională pentru Democrație a câștigat majoritatea absolută a locurilor în parlament. În martie tovarășul ei de partid, Htin Kyaw, a fost ales presedinte al Uniunii Birmane cu o majoritate de două treimi din voturi, având sprijinul suplimentar al unor partide mici. In 2016 Suu Kyi a fost numită consilier de stat al Birmaniei cu prerogative de prim ministru , ministru al Oficiului Președintelui și ministru al afacerilor externe.
În anii 2016-2021 în urma alegerilor democratice,  a îndeplinit  funcția de Consilier de stat, cu prerogative de șef al guvernului, precum și cea de ministru de externe al Birmaniei
În timpul guvernării ei comandanții armatei și-au păstrat privilegii în conducerea țării.
Represiunea și expulzarea în masă de către armata birmană a populației musulmane Rohyinga din nordul țării, în urma unor  acțiuni naționaliste violente, a fost denunțată în lume ca "genocid " și Aung San Suu Kyi a fost sever criticată pentru a nu fi condamnat aceste fapte. I s-au retras, drept consecință, mai multe din premiile și titlurile ce i-au fost decernate pentru lupta ei pentru drepturi cetățenești și democrație, ca de pildă, Premiul Elie Wiesel, premiul Amnesty International etc
În urma loviturii de stat militare din februarie 2021 guvernul birman a fost dizolvat, iar Aung San Suu Kyi a fost scoasă din funcții și pusă în arest la domiciliu. În decembrie 2021 în cursul unui proces înscenat, un tribunal special al regimului militar a condamnat-o la patru ani închisoare pentru ațâțare la violență și violarea măsurilor impotriva pandemiei COVID-19. La câteva ore după verdict a pedeapsa i-a fost redusă la doi ani de închisoare. În februarie 2022
Suu Kyi a fost condamnată la o pedeapsă suplimentară de 4 ani închisoare.

Influențe politice
Este al treilea copil al generalului Aung San și a lui Ma Khin Kyi (care a devenit ulterior Daw Khin Kyi), o asistentă medicală. Fratele ei preferat a murit înecat la o vârstă fragedă, iar celălalt frate a emigrat în SUA, devenind cetățean american.

Tatăl ei, unul din fondatorii Partidului Comunist din Birmania, apoi (1943) comandant al Armatei de Independență a Birmaniei și ulterior (1946) conducător al Ligii Antifasciste pentru Libertatea Birmaniei, a fost acela care a negociat independența Birmaniei cu Marea Britanie în 1947, fiind apoi, în același an. asasinat de către rivalii săi

După ce tatăl ei a fost asasinat, mama ei a devenit o figură publică importantă, ocupând printre altele postul de ambasador al Birmaniei în India. Aung San Suu Kyi a acompaniat-o pe mama ei la New Delhi, unde a urmat cursurile liceale și post liceale (la Lady Shri Ram College). A studiat apoi la Universitatea Oxford din Marea Britanie și la Școala de Studii Orientale și Africane, Universitatea din Londra. În timpul studiilor din Marea Britanie a fost în grija Lordului Gore-Booth, fostul ambasador britanic în Birmania și High Commissioner în India și a soției acestuia. În casa acestora l-a cunoscut pe Michael Aris, un cercetător al culturii tibetane, care i-a devenit soț, ei având apoi doi fii, Alexander și Kim.

Între 1969 și 1971 a studiat la New York, locuind la Ma Than E, un angajat al Națiunilor Unite. Alege să nu își termine studiile, angajându-se la Secretariatul Națiunilor Unite ca "Assistant Secretary" al Comitetului Consultativ pentru Probleme Administrative și Bugetare. Seara lucrează ca voluntară în spitale.

Suu Kyi s-a întors în Myanmar în 1988 pentru a-și îngriji mama bolnavă, găsindu-și țara răscolită de conflicte și proteste. Grupuri largi de studenți, călugări budiști și oameni obișnuiți organizaseră numeroase proteste în Rangoon și în alte orașe, revoltați de situația economică dezastruoasă a țării și de ignorarea constantă a celor mai elementare drepturi ale omului, sub dictatura generalului Ne Win și a Partidului Programului Socialist Birmanez, dând naștere la ceea ce va rămâne în istorie ca "Mișcarea 8888" (8 august 1988) Din păcate însă, armata a intervenit în forță și, după unele estimări, aproximativ 10000 de oameni au fost uciși. În urma evenimentelor, o nouă mișcare militară a preluat puterea.

Puternic influențată de filosofia nonviolenței a lui Mahatma Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyi a intrat în politică pentru a lupta pentru democrație și, ca urmare, a fost arestată la domiciliu în 1989. În schimbul libertății, i s-a propus, în repetate rânduri, părăsirea țării, dar aceasta a refuzat, conștientizând imposibilitatea unei reveniri ulterioare.

Detenția în Myanmar
În 1990, regimul militar a organizat alegeri generale, pe care partidul lui Aung San Suu Kyi, Liga Națională a Democrației, le-a câștigat în mod decisiv, cu o majoritate de 82%. În mod normal, având în vedere rezultatul obținut, ea ar fi trebuit să ocupe funcția de prim ministru. Rezultatele nu au fost însă recunoscute, armata refuzând să cedeze puterea. Acest eveniment a determinat o reacție internațională și a condus parțial la câștigarea Premiului Sakharov în acel an și a Premiului Nobel în cel următor de către Aung San Suu Kyi. Ea a folosit banii primiți (1,3 milioane US $) de la fundația Alfred Nobel pentru a înființa un fond pentru sănătate și educație în folosul poporului birmanez.

A fost eliberată din arestul la domiciliu în iulie 1995, cunoscut fiind faptul că o eventuală părăsire a țării pentru vizitarea familiei în Marea Britanie ar fi fost și definitivă pentru Suu Kyi, prin neacordarea permisiei de reintrare în țară la revenire. Atunci când soțul ei, cetățean britanic, a fost diagnosticat ca având cancer la prostată în 1997, guvernul a refuzat să îi acorde acestuia viza de intrare. Suu Kyi a rămas în Burma și nu și-a mai revăzut soțul. Acesta a murit în martie 1999. Ea rămâne separată de copiii ei, aflați în Marea Britanie. Deși fiul său, Kim, s-a căsătorit și are un copil, Aung San Suu Kyi nu și-a cunoscut niciodată nora și nepotul.

Suu Kyi a fost în mod repetat împiedicată să se întâlnească cu susținătorii partidului ei, pentru ca în septembrie 2000 să fie din nou arestată la domiciliu. Pe 6 mai 2002, ca urmare a negocierilor conduse de Națiunile Unite, ea a fost eliberată; un purtător de cuvânt al guvernului a afirmat că este liberă să plece "deoarece considerăm că putem avea încredere unii în ceilalți". Aung San Suu Kyi a proclamat "Un nou început pentru țară!". Cu toate acestea, pe 30 mai 2003, caravana ei a fost atacată în satul nordic Depayin de o grupare plătită a guvernului, care a rănit și ucis mai mulți dintre susținătorii ei. Aund San Suu Kyi a supraviețuit atacului cu ajutorul șoferului ei, Ko Kyaw Soe Lin, dar a fost arestată până să ajungă la Ye-U. A fost închisă în închisoarea Insein în Yangon. După o operație chirurgicală în septembrie 2003, ea a fost din nou plasată sub arest la domiciliu în Yangon.

Pe data de 13 noiembrie 2010 a fost eliberată de către junta militară birmană, care a ținut-o timp de 7 ani în arest la domiciliu.

Comentând eliberarea ei, președintele american Barack Obama a numit-o "eroină".

La 6 decembrie 2021, Suu Kyi a fost condamnată la 4 ani de închisoare.

Sprijin internațional

Pe 2 decembrie 2004, Statele Unite au făcut presiuni asupra guvernului birmanez pentru eliberarea liderului opoziției parlamentare, Aung San Suu Kyi, după un anunț recent care susținea extinderea termenului de arest la domiciliu.

Pe 17 iunie 2005, mai multe țări ale lumii au organizat proteste la sediile ambasadelor Myanmar, în cinstea zilei de naștere a lui Suu Kyi, care a împlinit 60 de ani.

În 2001, formația irlandeză U2 a lansat melodia Walk On, dedicată lui Aung San Suu Kyi. Melodia a fost interzisă de guvernul birmanez. În timpul concertelor din Londra și Glasgow (19 iunie, respectiv 21 iunie 2005 ), U2 a dedicat melodia Running to Stand Still lui Aung San Suu Kyi. Și alți artiști, cum ar fi Coldplay, R.E.M. și Damien Rice, au sprijinit cauza lui Aung San Suu Kyi. În 2004, în SUA și Canada a fost lansat albumul-compilație "For the lady", incluzând melodii cântate de U2, R.E.M., Avril Lavigne, Pearl Jam, Matchbox 20 și alții, dedicat lui Aung San Suu Kyi și eforturilor sale pentru democrație.

Viața lui Suu Kyi este prezentată în filmul lui John Boorman din 1995 "Dincolo de Rangoon" (Beyond Rangoon), rolul principal fiind jucat de Patricia Arquette.

Aung San Suu Kyi a fost numită membru de onoare al Institutului pentru Democrație și Asistență Electorală (International IDEA) încă de la arestarea ei și a primit sprijin din partea organizației în vederea eliberării sale.

Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Inaugural"
What is the difference between inauguration ceremony and inaugural ceremony ?
It's the same thing. Inaugural is the adjective form of the noun. Inauguration seems to imply that it's for an important office, for example the president.
As you mentioned in your inaugural address, now is the pivotal moment for both the global economy and the World Bank. does this sound natural?
Inaugural means the beginning of a period of time, usually used when talking about a company, institution, or an elected official of the government's time in office. It can also mean "the first of." Graduates are people who have graduated from something, like how students graduate high school and move on to college. To graduate means to complete a course of study in something and be officially said to have finished with their studies and allowed to move on. So the whole sentence means that the students of Mr. Cui's doctorate program are the first group of students to have ever completed his course of study and complete it, which makes them the inaugural class of graduates. Hope this is easy to understand.
It might be confusing because it is using poetic language. I think that the more normal way to say it would be: "With the same firmness in what is right that God gives us to see what is right." In other words, being just as strict about the right as we can tell strictly what the right is.

Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK)'s 2013 Q1 earnings report offered only another harsh reality check for its investors. Although the bad news in the 2012 Q4 report was largely denied by Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) fans hoping for a comeback, this time it was undeniable. As of this writing, Nokia is down 11%.
Judging by the comments I've received in previous posts about Nokia, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia investors assumed that the low Lumia sales of the Q4 2012 were an artifact of "limited availability" and that there was much pent up demand remaining for Nokia's Windows 8 phones. Last quarter, Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia smartphones.
This quarter, the number of Lumia phones sold rose to 5.6 million. In fact, this was higher than I expected since I was expecting a sequential decline to 3 million as phone makers normally experience this after the Holiday season. But investors have little reason to cheer about this.
Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) pumped up its Lumia sales volume by selling steeply discounted low-end Lumia phones into emerging markets. The reader might recall recent reports that Lumia was outselling iPhone in Russia. In the process, Nokia very effectively cannibalized their own alternative smart devices, the Asha and legacy Symbian smart phones. The Asha runs an OS called simply Nokia OS, a variant of Symbian. The net effect was an overall decline in sales volume for the smart device category, as well as mobile phones.
Not only did Lumia cannibalize Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK)'s non-Windows phones, but appears to have cannibalized feature phones as well. Total mobile device shipments shrank by 28% sequentially to 61.9 units. Net sales for the Devices and Services business unit decreased by 32% year-over-year to EU 2.88 billion.
Once again, CEO Stephen Elop declared that Devices and Services had achieved "underlying profitability," but of course, this was by virtue of excluding a 72 million restructuring charge. The IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) compliant operating income for the group was EU -42 million, while Nokia on the whole had an operating loss of EU -150 million (IFRS).
This points out why I dislike such exclusions. Nokia was supposedly done with restructuring, but here we go again. As I've pointed out in the past, companies suffering the revenue collapse that Nokia is still going through (-20% for the quarter year-over-year to EU 5.852 billion) can't reasonably exclude restructuring charges as "one time only" since they tend to recur quarter after quarter. Such charges have a very real impact by diverting cash flow from more productive uses and should be considered by investors.
Nokia's geographic data also confirms the lack of penetration in what is arguably the most knowledgeable and sophisticated smart phone market: North America. Mobile device sales volume declined catastrophically by -43% sequentially to a mere 400,000 units, a mere 0.65% of total shipments. This was followed by a -39% decline in Europe to 11.8 million units, 19% of total shipments.
Currently mobile device volume is the highest in the Asia pacific region (excluding China) at 23.1 million, 37.3% of total. I often heard it asserted that Nokia was going to do well in China, but Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK)'s geographic data completely belies this. The greater China sales volume of 3.4 million (5.4% of total) is the second smallest after North America, and also suffered a precipitous -26% sequential decline from Q4.

Q: How to use train_test_split in this situation?  from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
 Data1 = pd.read_csv(r"C:\Users\Zihao\Desktop\New\OBSTET.csv", index_col = 0)
 Data1.fillna(0, inplace = True)
 Dependent = Data1.ix[:,0]
 X_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = train_test_split()

This is my data. I know that the first column is the dependent variable, and the rest of the columns are independent variables.
How do I split this? I am not sure which argument I should pass.

A: If you are trying to predict your Dependent variable, that would be your "y".  While the Independent variables are your "X".
If that is the case:
Dependent = Data1.ix[:, 0]    # your "y"
Independent = Data1.ix[:, 1:] # the rest of the columns (commonly refered to as "X"
X_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(Independent, Dependent)

That will put 75% of your data int X_train, y_train.  And the other 25% into x_test, y_test.

Q: final vairable initialization relative to super class constructor As this (Initialize field before super constructor runs?) post states, all non static variables get initialized after the super class constructor runs, but in the following example, while debugging I see that the variable isn't initialized before the parent constructor runs, the print function prints the result "B=5" as if it was initialized.
When I use a non final variable the result is "B=0" as expected.
What's going on?
here is the code:
public class A {
    int a=77;
    public A(int i){
        printMe();
    }

    public void printMe(){
        System.out.println("A "+a);
    }
}

public class B extends A{
    //static int a=5; //test  will print 5
    final int a=5; //test  will print 5
    //int a=5;         ////test will print 0
    public B() {
        super(0);
    }

    public void printMe(){
        System.out.println("B="+a);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new B();
    }
}

A: This
final int a=5;

is a constant variable, which is a constant expression. The compiler will replace all references to it with its value.
So
System.out.println("B="+a);

will actually compile to
System.out.println("B="+5); // B=5


Everyone has skills, things that they have learnt how to do. No one is born knowing how to whistle, flip pancakes, drive a car or even read emails. Skills are things that you have to learn and then practice to become good at.
Marriage is also a skill, it is not something that most people can figure out by themselves. Unfortunately it is a skill that hardly anyone takes the time to study and become proficient at, and maybe that is why we all know so many failed and failing marriages.
Several times a week I find myself in a "relationship situation" wishing there was an instruction manual that would tell me what to do or what to say. Or how about a live link-up to a marriage helpdesk (is that the beginning of a business idea!) to help perfect my marriage skills.
You are in one of those what-do-I-do-now situations and you choose wrong. The result is that you cause HURT. It is impossible to live with someone and not hurt them occasionally.
To be successful in your marriage you have to become an expert, a world class championship winning expert in the skill of HURT MANAGEMENT.
First you have to recognize the signs of hurt in your partner. Typically in women this is anger expressed as nagging, criticism and put-downs. In men it usually expressed more passively as withdrawal, silence or by creating an emotional distance.
Secondly you have to take RESPONSIBILITY for causing the hurt, by apologizing for your actions, committing to not doing it again and asking for forgiveness.
Thirdly the wounded partner has to start the process of forgiving. This means letting go and not holding a grudge and giving up the desire to get even.
Keep practicing you are going to be great.

Westmont falls to Saint Katherine in five sets
by Jacob Norling October 10, 2021 0 comment
The Westmont volleyball team (12-8) snapped a three-match winning streak on Friday night, after falling to Saint Katherine (12-4) in five sets.
After dropping the first two sets 25-18 and 25-23, Westmont responded with a 25-23 win in set three and a 25-19 win in set four.
Then, after Westmont led the fifth set 13-12, Saint Katherine finished the night on a three-point run to win it 15-13.
"For some reason," said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin, "there's just this roadblock we can't seem to overcome. It's mental more than anything, and the frustration levels are high, not just for the coaching staff but for our returners too."
In the first set, Westmont initially trailed 6-2, with the deficit growing to 10-5 before McGolpin called her first timeout. At that point, the club had already committed a pair of attacking errors as well as a service and reception error.
Out of the timeout, the deficit quickly grew to 15-7, and the Warriors never got back within less than five from that point on. Eventually, the Firebirds took the first set by a score of 25-18.
The lone bright spot in the first set was Lexi Malone, who collected five kills in six attempts.
"Lexi played well," noted McGolpin. "At times they put triple blocks on her but she still finished with the highest hitting percentage of the night and kept us in it."
In set two, the two sides came out the gate in similar fashion, with strong attacking leading the way. The two teams were tied 5-5 before Westmont went on a three-point run to take its largest lead of the night so far. The Firebirds did not let the Warriors run away with things however, as the game was knotted at 10 following an attacking error by Malone.
Consecutive kills by Malone and Jessie Terlizzi followed by an ace from Phoebe Minch gave Westmont a 16-13 lead. However, Saint Katherine followed soon-after with a three-point swing of their own to tie things at 18. Then, an attacking error by Addie Paul put the visiting Firebirds up 20-19 going into a Westmont timeout.
Saint Katherine then won two of the next three points to claim a 22-20 advantage before Westmont tied things up on a service error and a kill from Malone. Moments later, a kill by Breann DeLoye put the Firebirds up 24-23 and a block by Makenzie Nutting gave Saint Katherine a 25-23 win and 2-0 set advantage.
In set three, the two sides traded blows to a 10-10 tie before Saint Katherine rode a kill and an attacking error to a 12-10 advantage. Down 13-11, a service error followed by a kill from Sydny Dunn tied things at 13 momentarily, before Saint Katherine collected another pair of kills in a row to claim a 15-13 advantage.
Out of a Westmont timeout, Saint Katherine's lead quickly expanded to 18-14 before Westmont displayed some resiliency and began chipping away. Down 20-16, the Warriors went on a three-point run to force a Saint Katherine timeout.
Out of the timeout, Saint Katherine's lead was immediately built back to 23-20, before Westmont responded with a three-point run to tie things at 23 following a pair of Firebird attacking errors.
Then, a service ace from Lilian Reininga followed by a block from Taylor Distelberg gave the Warriors a 25-23 win to stave off defeat and force a fourth set.
In set four, thanks to excellent serving from Alexa Gatiss, the Warriors jumped out to an 8-4 lead ahead of Saint Katherine's first timeout. However, once again, Saint Katherine remained relentless and tied things at 11 later on.
Then, a four-point run sparked by a pair of kills from Minch built the Warrior lead back up to 15-11. From there, the Warriors rolled. Westmont continuously marched towards 25 while holding off the Firebirds, ultimately forcing a fifth set with a 25-19 win.
The sprint to 15 began with a kill from Taylor Distelberg followed by another from Audrey Brown, allowing the Warriors to maintain possession of momentum. Ivie continued her contribution with a kill and another block to build Westmont's lead to 7-4, but Saint Katherine brought the run to a halt with a four-point run to take an 8-7 lead.
"Regardless of outcome, Taylor and Ivie both came in and did a really good job," noted McGolpin. "When things were going well, they were very much at the center of it."
Later, Malone's 13th kill of the match tied the game at 10, and her 14th kill gave Westmont a 13-12 advantage going into Saint Katherine's final timeout.
Then, following the timeout, Nutting collected a kill to tie things at 13, a block to give her club a 14-13 advantage, and a kill to give Saint Katherine a 15-13 victory.
"We did a good job getting back in it," McGolpin said. "But we could have very easily been swept all together. We knew they were going to the same attacker and at the end of the night we just weren't putting our thinking caps on. I commend Sarah Murray, our assistant coach, who takes hours to make scouting reports for us. When it comes down to it though, it's up to us to use them."

Royals, Warriors play to a draw in women's soccer

Hi JD, Vin, Ko again.
My last query, for now, I promise you. 🙂 I have been wondering about her PR bills too. One explanation is that they are paid out of the money allocated to PH by PC. Is that what you were referring to when you wrote "I think that KP has paid her PR bill" in your previous reply? But then, I also think that by doing so, KP/PC is paying for all the negative reports on PW, KM, etc. Is it not wiser to end her PR overkill by not giving the cash for it in the first place?
Firstly, sorry I couldn't complete your anon last night, my hands were shot.
The dreaded PR bill, there was a blind a while back, that said the bill was snuck in with the other bills. Did they catch on? We try to report as much as possible to give the Royal courtiers the heads up. We can't make them listen as you know this abomination happened and we were told to be patient they know what they are doing.
Tumblr team, Team Twitter and anons from around the world try to help and warn them, all we wanted was honesty. We have given two years of loyalty.
What you are saying is a strong possibility that MM has used the Royal purse to bash them.
It's up to everyone to believe what you want; the backer story is a bunch of nonsense to keep everyone loyally fighting for the crown. That's okay; I was willing to help them do that, I still believe in them.
When you see homelessness and food banks, health services stretched beyond capacity; these spoilt brats want their bleeding privacy and house meant for staff at Windsor. An Obvious fake pregnancy. Jetsetting! The bashing of a Future King and Queen, I have to draw the line and Say, Oh Hell No! I didn't signup for this.
I think about the time that these two pay the piper! William must command Harry and MM to cease and desist or get out! I'm serious.
As a Royal watcher all these years I have never seen the disrespect to HM in all my years.
Please feel free to comment and have a discussion about this under this post. Use your freedom of speech.
Next Article How was Catherine going to respond? 😹 gifs.
😹😹😹😹You want a house, I 'll give you a house!
Great points. Extra money for their cottage life. When NC was PLENTY big for 2 people and an extra pillow or two. I will bet if she had her way, she would have gone to Africa, then to India for Priyanka and Joe's wedding. Partying all the way, too.
Oops, I meant Nick, not Joe.

Right after $mysqli->execute() I log $mysqli->error and get:
*Unknown prepared statement handler (0) given to mysqld_stmt_execute*
But I would like to see the SQL error instead:
Duplicate entry '5' for key 'PRIMARY'

A: There is not much sense in the first block actually. Look what you're doing:
if ( ! $st = $this->DB->prepare($sql)) {
    trigger_error($st->error); // this one isn't triggered
}

"if there is no $st object - call this object's method".
Next one is better but anyway - there is no error method or property in mysqli_stmt class.
function exe($sql) {
    if ( ! $st = $this->DB->prepare($sql)) {
        throw new Exception($this->DB->error);
    }
    if ( ! $st->execute()) {
        throw new Exception($this->DB->error);
    }
}

Exceptions are better as they can be caught and contain a stack trace out of the box.
By the way, there is no point in using prepare() without parameters. So, the code actually have to be
function exe($sql) {
    if ( ! $this->DB->query($sql) ) {
        throw new Exception($this->DB->error);
    }
}

The question looming on everyone's mind at the 2016 People's Summit in Chicago was simple: "Where does this movement go from here?"
Some 3,000 activists, journalists, educators, caregivers, poets, artists, volunteers, and even children made the journey from across the country and the world in search of their own answers.
From the onset of the event it was clear; this moment is a time for healing, a time for reflection and a time for learning. But in no uncertain terms now, more than at any point during this historic movement, is a time for action.
It's important to point out that that's healing with an "a", not heeling with an "e". No answer during the two-day event came out more loudly or more boldly, than that now, there is no time for this movement to be "brought to heel."
This was the message that reverberated in the powerful words of Nina Turner who, during one portion of her address marched into the audience, and passionately exalted the crowd to have the "courage to speak truth to power, to organize, to stay together, to put forward our list of demands and not to relent one iota on the things that we believe in." Quoting the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass, "we might not get everything that we've worked for, but we will work for everything that we get," she exclaimed to thundering applause.
National Nurses United Executive Director RoseAnn Demoro echoed these same sentiments of relentless urgency earlier in the summit when, during a panel discussion, she addressed the baffling decision by the DNC to leave her and other labor organizers off of the Democratic Platform Planning Committee. While speaking about some of the unfortunate failures of the Affordable Care Act, Demoro said "When you make a compromise in healthcare, you are basically issuing a death sentence… you're saying that those lives don't matter."
Naomi Klein also captured the essence of the this movement's urgency perfectly in regard to things like global warming. "We got a deadline folks… we don't have all the time in the world. Whoever the next president is, they come to power with their backs up against the wall when it comes to climate change."
If there was any uncertainty about the reality of that claim, Josh Fox's new documentary "How to Let Go of the World," which was prominently featured throughout the summit, stamped out those doubts completely. Fox, whose groundbreaking documentary Gasland helped make fracking part of the public lexicon, manages yet again to deliver sobering evidence of the devastation brought unto the planet by the fossil fuel industry. In a day and age when it is easy to succumb to hyperbole, to say that he brings to the audience a terrifying eyewitness account of the dangers of we face from big oil and gas is an understatement.
With all of the testimony showing the urgency we face in terms of humanitarian and environmental crises, it almost seems absurd to worry about the plight of any one political party. However, for the DNC and the looming prospects of a Trump presidency, it is nothing short of do or die. John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine, highlighted the importance for the DNC to learn from this election.
"If the DNC is savvy, they will recognize that something amazing happened in 2016. A smart political party at a moment like that pulls the breaks, thinks hard about what it's done right, what it's done wrong, and when you're trying to get votes, you look for that expansive moment. This is a critical test for a political party, and it's a test that will extend beyond this election, it extends into the future. In 1968, the last year this volatile in my view, the DNC did not do a good job, and as a result they lost massive numbers of people in ways they shouldn't have lost them."
Matt Taibbi of Rollingstone warned that the DNC might already be failing this test, offering on more than one occasion the many ways in which voters have become frustrated with establishment politics. "Democratic voters tried to express these frustrations through the Sanders campaign," he said "but the party leaders have been and probably will continue to be too dense to listen. Instead, they'll convince themselves that, as Hohmann's Washington Post article puts it, Hillary's latest victories mean any 'pressure' they might have felt to change has now been 'ameliorated.'"
"For the millions of Americans who've voted for Sanders, it's not just about winning an election," says Jordan Chariton of The Young Turks. "Dramatically changing the trajectory of their lives, and their children's lives, is the end game. Millions of people have concluded voting for Hillary Clinton will never bring that to fruition. So they won't vote for her. Or candidates like her in the House and Senate. In 2016, 2018, 2020 and beyond."
For some in the Democratic party, the damage done this cycle may be beyond repair. Life long democrat and activist-journalist Shaun King, who was one of headline speakers at the Summit, wrote a scathing editorial in the New York Daily News entitled "Why I am leaving the Democratic Party." The over 80,000 times that his article has been shared on social media speaks to the growing popularity of that sentiment.
So where does that leave Bernie supporters? What are hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of folks from this campaign to do when they believe that the lesser of two evils is still evil, or when they understand that people have never gotten more by asking for less?
"We need you to be doers of the deeds," says Nina Turner. "We can't ask other folks to do more for us than we are willing to do for ourselves."
This means that supporters must heed the call from Sanders live address last Friday to commit to helping down the ballot progressives. Thus far 11,000 have responded showing an interest in greater participation. Over 6,000 of those that signed up expressed an interest in running for office at the state or local level. The key now is to organize these people and others who are in line with Bernie's platform for economic, social, and environmental justice. Understandably, many have become disillusioned with the political establishment for what they feel is the outright theft of Bernie's primary win. However, even if Sanders were to have won the nomination, these steps would be fundamental to the success of wresting control of our government back from a handful of the wealthy few at the top.
Sanders supporters understand that it has been a long road to get to this summit. Right now is understandably a time for healing. We do need to take time for reflection and it is most certainly a time for learning. But now, more so than at any point during this historic movement, this is the time for action.

The opening this month of the first life-sized Barbie Dreamhouse in Europe may be the fantasy of many a little girl, but Berlin feminists are mobilising against what they call a sexist icon.
With her ironed-straight blond tresses, doe-like baby blue eyes, blinding smile and super-human measurements, the mistress of the giant Barbie mansion has become a lightning rod ahead of the inauguration.
Just a few steps from Alexanderplatz, the main shopping district of east Berlin, the 2,500-square-metre slice of Malibu lifestyle is nestled between a railway and old communist housing blocks.
Inside, young Barbie fans can pretend to bake cupcakes in a marvellous kitchen, rummage through her sequin-studded wardrobe in the blonde bombshell's "endless" walk-in closet, and lounge in her – pink, of course – living room while admiring hundreds of dolls on display.
"For 22 euros, you can have two careers – model or pop star! What kind of image is that presenting to young women?" grumbles Michael Koschitzki, the proudly feminist male leader of a grassroots group of opponents of the Barbie Dreamhouse, and a member of the youth wing of the far-left party Die Linke.
A Facebook faction called Occupy Barbie Dreamhouse, created in March with a wink at the New York anti-greed movement Occupy Wall Street, has drawn more than 1000 supporters since its launch in March when the Berlin plans came to light.
It regrets that "the vast majority of little girls play with a doll that, if she were real, would be anorexic and whose life would consist of waiting for Ken in the car", Koschitzki said.
An angry fist piercing adverts for the attraction was printed on 10,000 flyers to publicise the fight against such "sexist propaganda" in a country headed by a childless woman and in which battles of the sexes are being fought on several fronts.
Germany, where combining family and work is notoriously difficult, has a fertility rate among the lowest in western Europe and is debating binding quotas for female executives to diversify its overwhelmingly male-dominated boardrooms.
Having weathered half a century of feminist rage, US Barbie manufacturer Mattel notes that it has modernised the doll's image, moving beyond the beach beauty to create surgeon dolls and even a presidential candidate.
"Barbie has again become a tool for some to advance their own agenda," a spokeswoman for the company's German unit said.
The conflict is due to come to a head on May 16 (local time), the opening day, with a planned demonstration under an Occupy Barbie Dreamhouse banner.
"We will be very happy if we can bring together 100 people," admits Koschitzki, whose protest group includes several leftist organisations and the initiative Pinkstinks, which is fighting against the gender-stereotyping produced by the colour's hegemony in the little-girl universe.
Barbie's Dreamhouse, which was conjured up by Vienna-based Event Marketing Service with a licence from Mattel and has a twin sister at a shopping mall in southern Florida, is already drawing curious families.
A 28-year-old Israeli tourist who gave her name as Lucy said all the pink caught her attention, as she pulled out her camera.
Having played with Barbies as a child, she did not see a problem with the Dreamhouse, although she admitted it could "influence a young girl so she thinks that everyone has to be blonde, tall and big-breasted".
"It's up to parents to explain that it's just a doll and not an example," said Emma, a 36-year-old Berlin mother of two girls, aged four and six, who shook with anticipation to get inside the doll paradise.
Barbie, for her part, will have to pack her bags on August 25. The Dreamhouse will then be dissembled, placed in moving crates and sent on a tour of other European cities.

Northwest New Works Festival 2016 Performance Reviews
The Shit is FRESH Jun 12, 2016
How to belong, how to betray, how do we say what we say when we say
Kaktus Kolache
Saturated film reference, angsty jest, and "Can I understand this way of life?"
How much distraction do we need, want, desire, reject?
Community bound by food, families and history are bound by recipes, and Coley gave me a Psychedlia of being-ness.
Her howling made me happy and fed, and connected to. Next time, can we sing a long?

1,2,3,4 - NW New Works Performance Review: Week 1 Studio Theater Jun 11, 2016
1.The southwest inspires extremes in a way the pacific northwest tends to mute them. In the high desert the summers scorch, the winters freeze, water is a scarcity until it flash floods, and life seems to hang on by a tenacious and ferocious patience. I remember walking past juniper scrubs that were over a thousand years old. I imagined living there but I felt like the extremes would push me to my edge and then past it.

A Testament to the Power of Simplicity May 2, 2016
Employee of the Year is a testament to the power of simplicity...
...and it's got me thinking about the impact of unadorned story telling and the truth seeking that ends up defining who we are.
Employee of the Year Responses May 2, 2016
This evening I watched the performance Employee of the Year. I can't call it a play because it's deliverance and cast were so unique. Instead of having millions of dollars worth of props, costumes and sets all they had were their shadows and a carpet. They still managed to convey a beautiful and heart wrenching story. The five girls switched off, each playing a different part of J's life. The many time jumps and opinions meld together to form a perfectly intense story about a girl's life long search for her mother.
A little something Apr 29, 2016
There are many good reasons to see 600 Highwaymen's Employee of the Year. In fact, all of the usual good reasons are accounted for. Beautiful performances and writing. Light, set and sound design. The vibe. The event. Everything is in order. 5 stars out of 5 for real.
Barefooted Truth Apr 29, 2016
The words "let go," sends five girls, ages nine and ten, into a surreal routine. What must be meticulously choreographed, seems somehow loose and reminiscent. One girl dances as if completely alone, twirling and waving her arms gracefully. The others run back and forth across the tiny stage, arms locked, unified as one. They trade giggles and grins as they jostle up and down. This scene is beautiful.
Imprints and Reflections Apr 29, 2016
The most formative experiences of our lives are often traumatic. They can occur in the most mundane of settings, highlighting and imprinting fragments of our surroundings that would otherwise slip through the cracks of memory. These facets, these wildly unimportant details, color our memory of traumatic events like distinctive and definite pockmarks.
Such is the style of the storytelling operating in 600 Highwaymen's Employee of the Year. It is a story of a woman and her relationship to the fleeting nature of truth and time.

Some of you know, I have a day job that takes me many places. I am now in Cairns, Australia. I have been without access to the radio programmer for far too long, and the system took over.
We are back now and should be for the foreseeable future. In September, I hope to move ahead with phase two of DaryAir. When that happens, you will find not one but many variations of DaryAir.
For now, enjoy the tasty tunes. Rock is and forever will be king.
