"Paying physicians for quality: evidence and themes from the field" by Douglas A. Conrad, Barry G. Saver et al.
BACKGROUND: Health plans, self-insured employers, health plans, and provider organizations are currently introducing financial incentives that reward physicians for delivering high-quality medical care. Yet a review of existing research reveals virtually no empirical studies of the effect of direct, internal quality incentives on physician performance. Key-informant interviews with leaders of provider organizations should shed new light on evolving quality incentives within organizations.
METHODS: Structured key-informant interviews with administrators and medical directors in 22 medical groups and 9 hospitals affiliated with 10 large, integrated health systems were conducted from July 2003 through January 2004.
FINDINGS: Views on the role of financial incentives varied widely and were related to a number of other factors, including institutional culture, community context, organizational strategy and structure, organizational stability, quality measurement, nature and size of incentives, and the sustainability of interventions.
DISCUSSION: These findings have implications for the acceptability and structure of financial incentives for quality directed to health care provider organizations. A set of considerations for the design and implementation of quality incentives relate to the incentives' scope, controllability, transparency, size, and orientation (individual or team), as well as the relationship between the extrinsic financial incentives and professionals' intrinsic motivation.

Het Hugenoten Gedenkmuseum (Afrikaans: Hugenote-Gedenkmuseum, Engels: Huguenot Memorial Museum) is een Zuid-Afrikaans museum in Franschhoek in de gemeente Stellenbosch in de West-Kaap.

Het museum is gewijd aan de geschiedenis van die hugenoten die in de 17e eeuw vanuit Nederland naar de Kaapkolonie emigreerden. Het toont de geschiedenis en herkomst van de Zuid-Afrikaanse hugenoten, bijvoorbeeld aan de hand van genealogieën, portretten en gebruiksvoorwerpen, en hun bijdrage aan de Zuid-Afrikaanse cultuur, vooral in de Franschhoekvallei. Er zijn voorbeelden van gereedschapsstukken waarmee onder andere wijn werd gemaakt. Ook zijn er voorbeelden van de kleding die gedragen werd.

Nabij het museum staat het Hugenotenmonument, en om het museum zelf ligt een tuin.

PhD Abstract
Title: Two Conquests: Aboriginal Experiences of the Fall of New France and Acadia
Two Conquests uses the 'spaces of power' approach to compare Mi'kmaw and Huron-Wendat experiences of the conquest of New France. By addressing the political, social and cultural uses of space and power, this work argues that although the fall of Acadia and Quebec brought about the end of French influence in North America, these events also caused considerable, if variable, change within Aboriginal communities. Each community's experience of colonialism and imperialism prior to the conquest directly shaped their reaction to this political transition.
The two case studies in this dissertation use official correspondence, travel narratives, census data, parish registers and notarial records. Part one focuses on how the Mi'kmaq in modern-day southwestern Nova Scotia reacted to the British conquest of Acadia in 1710. The Mi'kmaq did not systematically interact with European empires until after the French defeat. After the conquest, most Mi'kmaq moved away from European strongholds and maintained autonomy from France and Britain. Part two looks at the Huron-Wendat at Jeune-Lorette, a small Jesuit mission village near the town of Quebec. Unlike the Mi'kmaq, the Huron-Wendat were deeply involved in both Aboriginal and French worlds. Heavily invested in these overlapping worlds, the Huron-Wendat quickly made peace once British victory was clear. With peace, change came slowly. Only in the 1790s did the Huron-Wendat feel the full effects of the conquest.
Using 'spaces of power' demonstrates how Europeans capitalized on Aboriginal definitions of space to bolster their claims to North America and how Aboriginal people engaged with the colonial world and landscape to sustain their economy and culture. Aboriginal communities' responses to the two British conquests reflected their prior relationships with the French. Where this interaction was limited, Aboriginal communities had difficulty developing a strong relationship with the British. Where Aboriginal communities shared space and developed an integrated relationship, they found it easier to develop new strategies. In both cases, they struggled to maintain their control over territory and managed to do so for nearly four decades.

[Fanfic] As of yet unnamed crossover with Stargate SG-1.
3 replies [Last post]
silentscream84
Very much a work in progress here. But hey, if anyone wants to take a peek and provide input, feel free. I still need to fill in around a lot of the dialog, fix grammar, and adjust scene transitions. >.>
Jack looked somewhat skeptically at the young woman seated behind the desk, "You're a General? Aren't you a bit young?"
Hayate smiled a bit as she diverted her attention from her screens to look Jack in the face. *Her eyes are wrong,* thought Jack, as he sat down in front of General Yagami. *No person that young should have such a battle weary look about them.*
"I would be a Brigadier General in the US Military ranking system. I'm not quite as young as I look and my rank wouldn't seem as inappropriate if you knew how long I've been serving."
"Your organization recruits children?" he asked, his expression coldly disapproving
"To be fair, I was a special case to be recruited as young as I was. Our military does enlist younger people than would be considered normal on Earth, though it's primarily due to necessity. Powerful mages may become a danger to themselves and those around them without appropriate training and equipment, sometimes beyond even what our schools are able to provide.
"We do not have child soldiers in the way that certain regimes on Earth do. It is extremely rare for children to be deployed in battle. Youths are typically given the training they need and are allowed to gain experience through peaceful missions such as disaster relief, wildlife rescue, and other types of non-violent military activities if they so desire. Those who do not wish to be in the field are required to complete a brief term of service but will be relegated to clerical work."
"I am in charge of an elite task force which was created to tie up some loose ends in regards to a number of major crises which have occurred over the last few years. The gadget drone that you encountered was one of the more dangerous examples of the leftovers we've been dealing with."
"Why did they assign such a young officer to such a hazardous mission?"
"My two friends who you've already met and myself are the three most powerful mages in the TSAB military. No boasting involved here, we do have ways of quantifying magical ability and numbers don't have ego. I didn't earn my rank by just sitting behind a desk." She paused a moment for any more questions before continuing, "So Colonel O'Neill, what can you tell me about your organization? I understand that most of the details are probably classified, but I would like some sense of what we're getting involved in before I meet with your CO."
"A number of years ago, we discovered an artifact, almost identical to the one down on the planet's surface that we came through, which allows us to transit quickly between planets also possessing one. Unlike the other examples you've mentioned of, "lost logia," the Star Gates are purely technological in their functioning, if you'd like more details on the physics, ask Captain Carter. So, basically what we've found is that humans are being used as a slave race on many planets by a species called the Goa'uld. This has been going on for thousands of years so far as we're aware. The Goa'uld are now trying to return to subjugate the Earth, but we've been able to repel them so far."
"They've been attacking the Earth directly?" Hayate asked, clearly somewhat perturbed.
"Yes Ma'am, there have been numerous attacks through the gate as well as via spacecraft."
"I see. Hold on one moment please, I need to make a call." Hayate diverted her attention momentarily and depressed a button on her desk. "Rein, I need you to get Admiral Leti, Admiral Chrono, Lindy, and if possible Admiral Crowbel together for a conference call."
Jack couldn't understand the high pitched, Japanese reply a moment later, but he could read on the General's face that it was being done. "Colonel, I'm going to ask you to see if your Commanding Officer would be willing to transit to this ship for a meeting. I've set us on a course for Earth and we should be there in a few hours."
"Um, okay. How can I contact base from here?"
"I can put you through from here. Do you have a phone number you can use?" she asked as she typed a few commands into one of the floating screens and a numerical pad appeared, floating, in front of Jack. Somewhat skeptically, Jack punched in the series of numbers he'd memorized to get directly through to SGC, bypassing the normal switchboard.
"Hello? How did you get this number?"
"Hey General."
"Jack?! How did you wind up in Japan?"
"Sorry, General, I'll field that question," Hayate interjected, "We are not presently in Japan, but we have a relay station set up there to allow us to communicate with people on Earth via standard telephone. We are presently en route to Earth, with an ETA of approximately 1800 hours your time. I would like you to come aboard for a meeting to discuss possible arrangements for Earth's defense."
"Colonel?"
"Sir, I would recommend accepting their offer. They seem to be more advanced than the Goa'uld are and some of them seem to be personally invested in Earth's continued well being."
"Very well, I will come aboard. How am I going to get there?"
"We'll send down one of our people to pick you up at a location of your choosing. When you decide where, you can call this number with the coordinates. I've scheduled a meeting with some of our military leadership for 1900 hours to hear your case."
When General Hammond arrived at the designated location he found that there was already a young woman waiting for him there. She immediately snapped to attention and crisply saluted when she noticed his approach. He returned the salute and offered his hand. "General George Hammond, United States Air Force."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Hammond," replied the young woman as she shook his hand. "I am Lieutenant Colonel Nanoha Takamachi of the Time Space Administration Bureau Air Forces. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes, please lead the way."
Nanoha smirked a little as she opened a comm channel, "Beam me up, Shari." She could almost see the younger woman rolling her eyes as the glowing magical circle blossomed beneath her and the visiting General.
General Hammond had just opened his mouth to ask what was going on when they arrived aboard the Wolfram in a flash of light. Quickly closing his jaw, he made a brief assessment of the situation. They seemed to be standing in a 3/4 enclosed area at the rear of the bridge of the ship. There was a young woman purposefully walking toward them dressed in a similar uniform as the woman who had picked him up but with a long white coat draped over her shoulders. Much to his surprise, the crew that he could see appeared to be predominantly female.
The young woman came to a halt in front of the transport pad and saluted. General Hammond and Nanoha both returned the salute before she introduced herself. "General Hammond, it's a pleasure to meet you sir. I'm Brigadier General Hayate Yagami."
"The pleasure is all mine, General Yagami. Please, lead the way." Hayate led the pair down a brief series of corridors to a conference room dominated by a long table, the surface of which seemed to be one large touch screen interface. The members of SG-1 were already seated together at one end of the table, leaving the head seat open for the general. Hayate gestured for them to be seated as she took her own seat at the opposite end of the table flanked by Nanoha, Fate, and a few other crew members who SG-1 hadn't yet been introduced to. A few moments after General Hammond had seated himself, the door opened once more to admit a vibrant looking woman with shocking mint green hair who quickly found a seat along one side of the table.
After giving everyone a moment to get situated, Hayate typed in a sequence of commands and hologram representations of various members of the TSAB leadership materialized in the empty seats along the sides of the table. Along one side, three ancient looking people in somewhat more elaborate uniforms than the rest of the officers sat, two male and one female. Along the other side were two women with rather shocking hair colors and a man who had a somewhat more normal appearance. Hayate introduced the three senior Admirals first, followed by the woman with purple hair and the relatively normal looking man.
"Now, it has come to my attention that Earth is presently engaged in a conflict with an aggressive race called the Goa'uld who rule an empire spanning hundreds of planets relying largely on slave labor. Is this correct, General?"
"Yes, that is an accurate description. The Goa'uld first came to Earth and discovered humans some ten thousand years ago. The humans were enslaved and the Goa'uld used the Stargate network to transport human slaves to many planets through out the galaxy. Earth later overthrew their master, a being named Ra, in a series of massive revolts. The gate on earth was buried for thousands of years until being rediscovered more recently."
"And these Goa'uld have made direct attacks against the Earth?"
"There have been three attempted attacks from space as well as innumerable attempts at incursion through our Stargate."
"Admirals, I would like to request permission to furnish assistance to Earth in repelling this threat," Hayate began, "It is evident that we are dealing with an aggressive, expansionist race, who, based on the position of their territory according to what we've been told, may begin to attack worlds under our protection in the near future."
"The fact that this race has been employing slave labor for over ten thousand years is alone enough of a reason to commit ourselves to some level of involvement, however what degree of aid we may furnish will depend in part on the strength of these people. We cannot simply sit idle, but our actions must be well considered as we are not ready to engage this enemy in open war," the female Admiral stated, even as the two men flanking her nodded their agreement. "We will station a defensive force near Earth while we work toward assessing the level of threat that these beings present and deciding on longer term courses of action."
"Admiral Lindy, Admiral Chrono, and General Yagami, you will be assigned to the defense of Earth for the time being. You are authorized to take any actions needed to defend this world from attack. You are not authorized to engage in any offensive movements in enemy territory. Take this time to do as much research as possible into these beings, their technology, their history, and their military assets. We will contact you with further orders after we have been able to evaluate the situation further."
"Yes Ma'am," Hayate and Lindy replied before the hologram of the three admirals flickered and vanished.
"So General, how best may we be of assistance?"
"For the moment, having your ship in orbit is all that we can ask of you. The gate itself is well secured, but we are vulnerable to attack from space as we have no military presence there."
"We will have the Claudia and the Wolfram maintain their orbits, Admiral Lindy, can you lead the research team on the ground?"
"Yes, of course. I can deploy immediately with Mariel and Shari." She stopped for a moment before continuing with a knowing smile, "Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate, would you be so kind as to pick a few things up for me from my home?"
"Yes, Ma'am!" the three replied enthusiastically.
"Excuse me, am I missing something here?" interjected Jack.
"Sorry, Colonel. These three grew up in Japan. I think they'd like an opportunity to visit friends and family."
"You live in Japan?" O'Neill asked, incredulously.
"That's correct. Also, before you ask, the Japanese government has no idea about any of this."
"Alright people, you have your assignments." Hayate broke in, "Admiral Lindy, please take Erio, Caro, Teana, and Subaru with you as well. Chrono, you can take charge of the fleet as soon as the Claudia arrives. Admiral Leti, we'll be in touch soon with more information about these, 'Goa'ulds'. General Hammond, please follow Admiral Lindy to the transfer pad. Nanoha, Fate, it's time to visit home."
With that the meeting broke up, Lindy escorting the General and SG-1 to the dimensional transfer pad, meeting up with the rest of her ground team on the way. Shortly after they had vanished, Hayate led Nanoha, Fate, and Vivio onto the pad. "Lucino, you have the con. We shouldn't be gone for more than three hours. Contact me immediately if anything happens."
It was shortly before 11 in the morning, local time, that Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, and Vivio appeared in the alleyway behind the Midoriya, dressed in civilian garb. The group quickly made their way to the front of the establishment and walked inside where they were greeted by who Nanoha assumed must be a new employee as she didn't recognize any of them and looked to be about Vivio's age. She quickly and politely showed them to their table and handed out menus before walking off to alert one of the waitresses to come and take their order.
A few moments later, Miyuki, walked over and froze in place the moment she caught sight of the group. "N-Nanoha? NANOHA! MOM, DAD, NANOHA'S HERE!" There was a commotion as Shiro and Momoko burst forth from the kitchen and Miyuki dove forward to hug her sister. The young Hostess who had seated them just a moment ago stared in surprise. Nanoha was out of her seat with plenty of time to spare before Miyuki landed in her arms.
"Hi, nee-chan. Long time no see." Shiro and Momoko approached a moment later in an only slightly more restrained fashion, Shiro grinning widely and Momoko misty eyed. "Okaa-san, Oto-san."
"Grandma! Grandpa!"
"Oh Vivio, look at you! How tall you've gotten!"
"Shiro-san, Momoko-san,"
"Fate! It's been so long! have you been taking good care of Nanoha?"
"Mou, I can take care of myself mom."
"Are you staying long? Why didn't you call ahead?"
"We can't stay long right now, but we've been stationed not too far away, so we should be able to visit more frequently in the near future."
"Oh, it's so good to see you. Please call ahead next time so we can prepare a bit."
"You don't need to do that."
"But we do. We've missed so many birthdays and holidays for all of you. If you're going to be near by we need to have a proper party some time soon."
"We'll be sure to do that then."
Miyuki appeared a moment later carrying a tray with four glasses of caramell milk and a few pieces of cake to hand out.
It was already pitch black out when General Hammond and SG-1 arrived back on Earth with their guests in tow. It was a brief hike back to the base and the guard admitted them with a minimum of fuss. General Hammond apologized that their first stop was to be the infirmiry to have their guests go through a few blood tests, but the team seemed to take it all in stride. Doctor () was extremely fascinated by their guests and was visibly shocked when the Admiral told her that this was her natural hair color.
The second stop was the research department, where Daniel picked up leading the tour. Each of their guests seemed interested in different sections, Caro and Shamal at the biological samples, Mariel and Shari with the technology, and Subaru, Teana, and Erio with the confiscated weapons. Everyone listened politely as they were guided to different stations and introduced to the technicians working there.
Finally they were guided to the main conference room, overlooking the Stargate. "So this is the Stargate," said Lindy, fascination in her voice. "Just how wide-spread is the gate network?"
"From what we've been able to determine, it covers most of this galaxy and there are a few ways in which to reach nearby galaxies as well."
"And the transit time doesn't vary dependant on distance?"
"Actually, there is some variance in the arrival time, but in all cases, it's quick enough that it may as well be instantaneous," replied Captain Carter.
Silber-1
Well, well, my friend...
Yes. Oh God, YES. THIS is what I'm waiting for~! You have absolutely no idea how psyched I am to finally read a crossover between Nanoha and "Stargate SG-1"!
And trust me: this looks really, really promising!
I think there is plenty of room to improve, though. Like you said, there's the scene transitions, and I would've liked a better intro, instead of jumping right in with Hayate talking to Jack.
This first chapter was quite interesting and it set the stage quite nicely. So, I hope you get this story goin' soon, as I can't wait to read more~! X3
Mission Start!
Update ASAP! That's an order!
Semper-Fi! Carry on!
I taught you how to fly. The rest is up to you.
Daniel Jackson had to shield his eyes the moment he came through the stargate from the blinding glare of the planet's pair of suns. The suns themselves weren't the immediate problem, but rather that smooth layer of glass coating the crater that the gate was sitting on the precipice of. The air around him seemed to shimmer with the heat radiating off of the glass and the sand around him.
While the exact nature of the basin hadn't been obvious via the video feed from the probe, it had been assumed to have been some sort of blast crater, made some time ago based on the thermal readings from the MALP. Daniel dropped into a crouch to more closely examine the surface. What had appeared to be a single smooth piece of glass was actually a fused mass of fulgurites. Daniel shook his head, that made no sense, the molten area was much too uniformly covered in glass and much too neatly contained. Shards of rock peppered the area, sticking unmelted out of shattered areas in the glass surface.
The strange mechanical spheres approached more rapidly this time, firing some sort of energy weapon which melted divots in the rocks they impacted against. So far one of the four mysterious assailants had been felled under sustained fire from the SG-1 team and another looked like it was beginning to have trouble staying aloft, but the team's ammunition reserves were beginning to run low. Jack was beginning to get worried when suddenly the onslaught stopped. No, it hadn't stopped, but had been re-directed as he could still hear the sounds of the beam weapons discharging. After a moment, he dared peek out from behind his boulder only to be greeted by a blinding flash of pink and yellow followed by a sizeable shockwave and flying debris.
There were no more blasts as the dust and debris began to settle around the SG-1 team and one by one they began to peer out from behind cover. The three remaining mechanical foes were down, one having been reduced to a heap of molten looking slag and the two others heavily perforated by rocky debris. "Colonel, above us." Jack whipped around to look at the crater rim above and behind them. He scanned back and forth along the rim for a moment, but didn't spot anyone.
"No sir, ahead! Eleven O'clock high."
Turning his attention back to his front, he elevated his vision and had to squint against the glare of the planet's pair of stars to see the pair of rapidly growing figures, silhouetted against the blinding light. "We've got incoming, people!" Jack announced as he reloaded his weapons and took cover once again behind his boulder. A few moments later he heard a young, female sounding voice calling out.
"Anno, minna-san, daijoubu desu ka?"
"Um, Jack," Daniel whispered to him, "she's speaking Japanese."
"What's she saying?"
"She's asking if we're all alright."
"Well, answer her."
"Umm...Watashtachi wa...daijoubu...yo." Daniel spoke haltingly.
"Excuse me, I'm here to speak with General Yagami."
"You're talkin' to her now, Colonel. Please, have a seat," she said, motioning to the chair in front of her as she pulled up Fate and Nanoha's mission reports on a holographic display. She blinked twice at something she'd read before turning her attention back to the man sitting before her. "Colonel Jack O'Neill, United States Air Force and commander of SG-1, from non-administrated planet 97 also known as Earth. Appeared with a well prepared team on a world in the () nebula via use of an artifact known as an Astria Porta, or Star Gate." She looked at him steadily through the hologram, "So, Colonel, what brings you to this arm of the galaxy? It's apparent that you didn't accidentally activate the Star Gate."
Here's what happens before the scene in the initial post. Still needs scene transitions and filling in, but at least you'll know where the story starts now. (Of course the universal translator would make Hayate's Kansai-ben into a southern accent for the Americans. >.>)
Oh, I see, I see. Interesting.
That sure sheds a lot of light into the original post, and this was a really neat introduction, too. ^_^
Gotta love Daniel Jackson acting as a translator. LOL
And yeah, Hayate's accent would be considered an American Southern accent, which is quite lovely in Hayate's case~ :3

Q: Concatenate the first letters of each word of the string without spaces Given a string, get first letter of every word and return the result as a string without spaces.
public class Solution {
    static String getFirstLetterWord(String text) {
        char[] c = text.toCharArray();
        String output = " ";
        for (int i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {
            if (c[i] != ' ' && (i == 0 || c[i - 1] != ' ')) {
                System.out.println(c[i]);
                output = output + c[i];
            }
        }
        return output;
    }
}

A: You can split the string by space text.split(" ") it will give you an array of words,
you can later loop over the array and get the first character of each word and combine then into an array
Example
static String getFirstLetterWord(String text) {
    final String[] words = text.split(" ");
    String output = "";
    for (String word : words) {
        output += word.charAt(0);
    }
    return output;
}

For better performance you can use a StringBuilder
Example
static String getFirstLetterWord(String text) {
    final String[] words = text.split(" ");
    StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
    for (String word : words) {
        output.append(word.charAt(0));
    }
    return output.toString();
}

Or if you're using java 8 you can do it with streams
static String getFirstLetterWord(String text) {
    final String[] words = text.split(" ");
    return  Stream.of(words).map(word -> word.subSequence(0, 1))
            .collect(Collectors.joining());
}

Letters to the editor, Aug. 29
Readers sound off on U.S. trade, transit costs, Tennessee Promise for rural students and more.
Confederal Hall decision not courageous
Re: "Vanderbilt to remove "Confederate" from building name," Aug. 15.
Open letter to Vanderbilt University Chancellor Nick Zeppos:
In the debased, corrupted "culture" in which we now exist, it requires zero courage to join the witless chorus of the professional "victims'" unceasing claims of "feeling offended."
And it only takes enough money, it seems, to deface a gift and pretend it is done to assure "diverse students" of VU's "care and support." Unless, of course, the student happens to be white, Christian, and/or a Southerner.
But despite the vile and false way you, Chancellor, "… teach history by how (you) talk about it .,." the truth remains what is and some of us will always know it.
The Confederate States of America suffered invasion and defeat by overwhelming force of arms, not by intelligent argument.
Nevertheless, the descendants of these brave men who fought for a nation's independence decline the demeaning role of victimhood.
Because our fathers and grandfathers live that history, we know that "… defeat is not dishonor ... and we … thank God this priceless boon …" is ours still.
Indeed, since one can only be insulted by an equal, your action does not even achieve that end.
Cynthia E. Bruer, Nashville 37215
Nashville kind to strangers
Having lived away from Middle Tennessee for many years, I have been dismayed at the violence reported so frequently.
However, I would like to share my recent experience. I was coming to Nashville for two meetings. Just as I got to the city limits, my car just stopped on I-440.
I was able to contact AAA and they sent a tow truck within a few minutes. The nicest man (with AAA on his truck) got out of his truck and came over to make sure I was okay.
He gave me a bottle of water and made sure I was safe in the truck before he hooked up my car.
He took me to Beaman Toyota where I was made comfortable and told that they would take me any where I needed to go in their courtesy van.
My colleague picked me up at Beaman and we made the second appointment in good time.
When he returned me to Beaman, the courtesy van took me to my choice of restaurant and came back when I was ready.
Everyone treated me with the utmost consideration and respect.
So for my vote: Nashville is still a gracious and kind place.
Ludell N. Coffey, Knoxville 37920
Trade deal should be supported
Despite the political rhetoric, the facts about trade still stand: The Trans-Pacific Partnership will take time, cost and complexity out of trade, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, while stimulating much-needed economic growth here in Tennessee.
As a business leader in our community, I write on behalf of the 2,665 UPS employees here in Nashville to express support for the TPP and to encourage Congressman Jim Cooper to also support it.
As the November elections grow closer, the TPP- and trade in general - has become a hot topic among candidates at all levels and in the media.
My business knows first-hand how trade impacts jobs and our community. For example, we estimate that every 22 packages that cross a border supports one job in UPS's package operation, making trade critical to the future of UPS and our employees in Congressional District 5 and for our 8,389 employees in Tennessee. Additionally, our export volume has increased by 20 percent on average to countries with which the U.S. has implemented free trade agreements.
TPP will eliminate 18,000 tariffs on Made-in-America goods, and support small businesses by removing barriers that disproportionately affect their ability to compete in global markets.
The agreement will also expedite customs procedures and remove red tape by requiring fewer paper documents and requiring adoption of electronic pre-clearance processes.
The bottom line is that when it is easier to trade, more trade happens. And more trade means more jobs at UPS, and for our customers.
Margaret Dunlap, Hendersonville 37075
Cooper doesn't ask right questions
Re: "Cooper: TN set to lose $60 million in highway funds," Aug. 20, 2016
Congressman Jim Cooper exemplifies what is wrong with many of our elected federal representatives today.
Tennessee recently passed legislation adjusting its law against drunk driving "…to ensure that underage drinkers were facing as strong a punishment as those over 21," according to state Rep. William Lamberth. To do this, it was necessary to raise the acceptable blood alcohol level to .08 from the .02 (mandated by the Federal government) level it had been for those under 21 years of age.
Representative Cooper, a professional Washington politician (25 years in Congress), said, "State leaders should act immediately and comply with a zero tolerance policy." Shouldn't he, as a representative from the State of Tennessee, instead question why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with its unelected career bureaucrats, is allowed to dictate what can and cannot be done with the tax money Tennesseans send to Washington?
Perhaps Mr. Cooper could then become a real representative "for" the State of Tennessee.
Don Griffin, Franklin 37064
Rural students at disadvantage with TN Promise
Governor Haslam keeps touting the TN Promise program for paying 100 percent of tuition, but in reality, it does not pay for some tuition fees for those in rural areas. One has to attend a full-scale community college, in-person, to attend tuition-free.
Rural areas like in the Cookeville, Sparta area, only have a satellite campus with a limited number of classes. For instance, my stepson is taking computer programming and yet they only offer a few classes at the Vol State Cookeville campus.
He had to sign up for two online classes which TN Promise will not pay for. So he is taking three classes at the campus and then two classes online for his major. This is leaving him with a $700 bill that we were not expecting.
The cost per semester is $2,100 if he attends in person and on campus with all of his classes, but when one is taking three classes on-campus and two online classes it costs $2,800. Now, he is responsible for the $700 difference. The maximum TN Promise pays in a semester is $2,100.
If Haslam really wants to provide free tuition, he needs to price the online classes the same as in person, on-campus classes and allow TN Promise to pay for them, or provide more classes at the satellite campuses around the state.
Kevin Fisher, Sparta 38583
Transit projects frequently over budget
We moved to Middle Tennessee five years ago after seven years in Seattle.
While watching Middle Tennessee's transit debates the past few years we've been waiting to see the initial nMotion budgetary estimates. Ironically, last week while visiting Seattle we saw the $6 billion price tag. Somehow $6 billion was construed as a positive sign since the 2015 conceptual plan had ranged from $7.2 billion to $9.9 billion.
On Sunday, Aug. 21, the Seattle Times published an article reviewing the past two decades of Sound Transit's light rail projects budgetary performance.
This is part of the Times' election coverage as there are three ballot measures before voters to expand light rail, commuter trains & bus rapid transit at an annual cost of $326 for a median household. The Times estimated that Seattle's light rail project to date has experienced an 86 percent overrun even after converting all dollars spent back to the base year (1995).
The overrun occurred despite moves to reduce costs by eliminating or relocating stations.
The article goes on to quote a recent UCLA study of 68 federally funded U.S. transit projects from 1982-2011. An astounding 82 percent of projects cost more than their estimate, averaging 43 percent over budget. For Middle Tennessee, there is even more risk as first time projects average 54 percent overrun.
Transit extensions fare better, averaging only a 17 percent overrun. So beware voters; the likelihood of any project being close to projections is less than 50-50.
Rick Clemens, Gallatin 37066
Multiple systems problematic for public utilities
NES is neither the solution nor the problem in Nashville's ridiculous fiber optic situation. It makes absolutely no sense to build three separate systems to serve one city.
Competition in public utilities only causes multiplication of cost and construction of unnecessary facilities.One example I am familiar with was in Bessemer, Ala., where Alabama Power and Bessemer Electric service had duplicate power lines. The courts forced Alabama Power Company to sell their system to Bessemer.
Winston Caldwell, Nashville 37204
Evolution of waste pickup needed
Recently, my wife and I spent a few weeks in Annapolis.
Through the day we tossed accumulated trash into one of two containers: 1) the garbage into the smaller one and 2) the much larger one received the recyclable material: plastic of all kinds, paper and cardboard, cans, bottles and all you might imagine.
Each week, this was all collected curbside.
When I first moved to Tennessee years ago, I marveled at the thermal transfer plant as a creative idea, good for a different era.
Let us use that as stimulus for us to move forward.
I know there are differing ways of disposing our waste that are ethically, ecologically, economically and rationally better than what we are now doing. Come on, let's get with it!

.. _faq_configuration_timeouts:

How do I configure timeouts?
============================

Envoy supports a wide range of timeouts that may need to be configured depending on the deployment.
This page summarizes the most important timeouts used in various scenarios.

.. attention::

  This is not an exhaustive list of all of the configurable timeouts that Envoy supports. Depending
  on the deployment additional configuration may be required.

HTTP/gRPC
---------

.. _faq_configuration_connection_timeouts:

Connection timeouts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Connection timeouts apply to the entire HTTP connection and all streams the connection carries.

* The HTTP protocol :ref:`idle_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.idle_timeout>`
  is defined in a generic message used by both the HTTP connection manager as well as upstream
  cluster HTTP connections. The idle timeout is the time at which a downstream or upstream
  connection will be terminated if there are no active streams. The default idle timeout if not
  otherwise specified is *1 hour*. To modify the idle timeout for downstream connections use the
  :ref:`common_http_protocol_options
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.common_http_protocol_options>`
  field in the HTTP connection manager configuration. To modify the idle timeout for upstream
  connections use the
  :ref:`common_http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.upstreams.http.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.common_http_protocol_options>` field in the Cluster's :ref:`extension_protocol_options<envoy_v3_api_field_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.typed_extension_protocol_options>`, keyed by :ref:`HttpProtocolOptions <envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.upstreams.http.v3.HttpProtocolOptions>`

* The HTTP protocol :ref:`max_connection_duration <envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.max_connection_duration>`
  is defined in a generic message used by both the HTTP connection manager as well as upstream cluster
  HTTP connections. The maximum connection duration is the time after which a downstream or upstream
  connection will be drained and/or closed, starting from when it was first established. If there are no
  active streams, the connection will be closed. If there are any active streams, the drain sequence will
  kick-in, and the connection will be force-closed after the drain period. The default value of max connection
  duration is *0* or unlimited, which means that the connections will never be closed due to aging. It could
  be helpful in scenarios when you are running a pool of Envoy edge-proxies and would want to close a
  downstream connection after some time to prevent stickiness. It could also help to better load balance the
  overall traffic among this pool, especially if the size of this pool is dynamically changing. Finally, it
  may help with upstream connections when using a DNS name whose resolved addresses may change even if the
  upstreams stay healthly. Forcing a maximum upstream lifetime in this scenario prevents holding onto healthy
  connections even after they would otherwise be undiscoverable. To modify the max connection duration for downstream connections use the
  :ref:`common_http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.common_http_protocol_options>`
  field in the HTTP connection manager configuration. To modify the max connection duration for upstream connections use the
  :ref:`common_http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_field_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.common_http_protocol_options>` field in the cluster configuration.

See :ref:`below <faq_configuration_timeouts_transport_socket>` for other connection timeouts.

Stream timeouts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stream timeouts apply to individual streams carried by an HTTP connection. Note that a stream is
an HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 concept, however internally Envoy maps HTTP/1 requests to streams so in this
context request/stream is interchangeable.

* The HTTP connection manager :ref:`request_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.request_timeout>`
  is the amount of time the connection manager will allow for the *entire request stream* to be
  received from the client.

  .. attention::

    This timeout is not enforced by default as it is not compatible with streaming requests
    (requests that never end). See the stream idle timeout that follows. However, if using the
    :ref:`buffer filter <config_http_filters_buffer>`, it is recommended to configure this timeout.
* The HTTP connection manager :ref:`request_headers_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.request_headers_timeout>`
  determines the amount of time the client has to send *only the headers* on the request stream
  before the stream is cancelled. This can be used to prevent clients from consuming too much
  memory by creating large numbers of mostly-idle streams waiting for headers. The request header
  timeout is disabled by default.
* The HTTP connection manager :ref:`stream_idle_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.stream_idle_timeout>`
  is the amount of time that the connection manager will allow a stream to exist with no upstream
  or downstream activity. The default stream idle timeout is *5 minutes*. This timeout is strongly
  recommended for all requests (not just streaming requests/responses) as it additionally defends
  against a peer that does not open the stream window once an entire response has been buffered
  to be sent to a downstream client.
* The HTTP protocol :ref:`max_stream_duration <envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.max_stream_duration>`
  is defined in a generic message used by the HTTP connection manager. The max stream duration is the
  maximum time that a stream's lifetime will span. You can use this functionality when you want to reset
  HTTP request/response streams periodically. You can't use :ref:`request_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.request_timeout>`
  in this situation because this timer will be disarmed if a response header is received on the request/response streams.
  This timeout is available on both upstream and downstream connections.

Route timeouts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Envoy supports additional stream timeouts at the route level, as well as overriding some of the
stream timeouts already introduced above.

* A route :ref:`timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.route.v3.RouteAction.timeout>` is the amount of time that
  Envoy will wait for the upstream to respond with a complete response. *This timeout does not
  start until the entire downstream request stream has been received*.

  .. attention::

    This timeout defaults to *15 seconds*, however, it is not compatible with streaming responses
    (responses that never end), and will need to be disabled. Stream idle timeouts should be used
    in the case of streaming APIs as described elsewhere on this page.
* The route :ref:`idle_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.route.v3.RouteAction.idle_timeout>` allows overriding
  of the HTTP connection manager :ref:`stream_idle_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.stream_idle_timeout>`
  and does the same thing.
* The route :ref:`per_try_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.route.v3.RetryPolicy.per_try_timeout>` can be
  configured when using retries so that individual tries using a shorter timeout than the overall
  request timeout described above. This timeout only applies before any part of the response
  is sent to the downstream, which normally happens after the upstream has sent response headers.
  This timeout can be used with streaming endpoints to retry if the upstream fails to begin a
  response within the timeout.
* The route :ref:`per_try_idle_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.route.v3.RetryPolicy.per_try_idle_timeout>`
  can be configured to ensure continued response progress of individual retry attempts (including
  the first attempt). This is useful in cases where the total upstream request time is bounded
  by the number of attempts multiplied by the per try timeout, but while the user wants to
  ensure that individual attempts are making progress.
* The route :ref:`MaxStreamDuration proto <envoy_v3_api_msg_config.route.v3.RouteAction.MaxStreamDuration>`
  can be used to override the HttpConnectionManager's
  :ref:`max_stream_duration <envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.max_stream_duration>`
  for individual routes as well as setting both limits and a fixed time offset on grpc-timeout headers.

Scaled timeouts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In situations where envoy is under high load, Envoy can dynamically configure timeouts using scaled timeouts.
Envoy supports scaled timeouts through the :ref:`Overload Manager <envoy_v3_api_msg_config.overload.v3.OverloadManager>`, configured
in envoy :ref:`bootstrap configuration <envoy_v3_api_field_config.bootstrap.v3.Bootstrap.overload_manager>`.
Using a :ref:`reduce timeouts <config_overload_manager_reducing_timeouts>` overload action,
the Overload Manager can be configured to monitor :ref:`resources <envoy_v3_api_msg_config.overload.v3.ResourceMonitor>`
and scale timeouts accordingly. For example, a common use case may be to monitor the Envoy :ref:`heap size <envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.resource_monitors.fixed_heap.v3.FixedHeapConfig>`
and set the scaled TimerType to :ref:`HTTP_DOWNSTREAM_CONNECTION_IDLE <envoy_v3_api_enum_value_config.overload.v3.ScaleTimersOverloadActionConfig.TimerType.HTTP_DOWNSTREAM_CONNECTION_IDLE>`.
The overload manager will scale down the :ref:`idle timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.HttpProtocolOptions.idle_timeout>` once the :ref:`scaling_threshold <envoy_v3_api_field_config.overload.v3.ScaledTrigger.scaling_threshold>` has been met
and will set the timeout to the :ref:`min timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.overload.v3.ScaleTimersOverloadActionConfig.ScaleTimer.min_timeout>` once the :ref:`scaling_threshold <envoy_v3_api_field_config.overload.v3.ScaledTrigger.scaling_threshold>` is met.
The full list of supported timers that can be scaled is available in the overload manager :ref:`docs <envoy_v3_api_enum_config.overload.v3.ScaleTimersOverloadActionConfig.TimerType>`.

TCP
---

* The cluster :ref:`connect_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.connect_timeout>` specifies the amount
  of time Envoy will wait for an upstream TCP connection to be established. If this value is not set,
  a default value of 5 seconds will be used.

  .. attention::

    For upstream TLS connections, the connect timeout includes the TLS handshake. For downstream
    connections, see :ref:`below <faq_configuration_timeouts_transport_socket>` for configuration options.

* The TCP proxy :ref:`idle_timeout
  <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.tcp_proxy.v3.TcpProxy.idle_timeout>`
  is the amount of time that the TCP proxy will allow a connection to exist with no upstream
  or downstream activity. The default idle timeout if not otherwise specified is *1 hour*.

.. _faq_configuration_timeouts_transport_socket:

Transport Socket
----------------

* The :ref:`transport_socket_connect_timeout <envoy_v3_api_field_config.listener.v3.FilterChain.transport_socket_connect_timeout>`
  specifies the amount of time Envoy will wait for a downstream client to complete transport-level
  negotiations. When configured on a filter chain with a TLS or ALTS transport socket, this limits
  the amount of time allowed to finish the encrypted handshake after establishing a TCP connection.

There is an orphan crisis in Ethiopia. Currently, there are over 4,500,000 orphans in Ethiopia, and families and communities struggle immensely to provide these children with the support they need. As a result of poverty and famine, 44% of children have stunted development due to poor nutrition and just 40% of children complete primary school.
PREVENT Expand family preservation opportunities by 250 percent so that 19,500 children never enter an orphanage.
PROVIDE Implement Caregiver Training Programs and provide emergency medical support to orphanages in crisis.
PREPARE Provide vocational training and university scholarships for orphans aging out of institutions so that 640 children are prepared to successfully transition to independence each year.
POLICY Confront corruption in partnership with government officials to create a process that supports ethical adoption. As a result, 9,000 orphans in Sub-Sahara Africa will have a path to family through adoption. Additionally, we're working to unite over 50 NGOs to create a regionally unified, strategic Child Advocacy plan.
With the official closing of inter-country adoption, AGCI is continuing to support kids within the country through critical support services. As many agencies pack their bags, we know our hands and our hearts are needed now more than ever! Support these children by becoming a sponsor.
Education Sponsorship is another way that AGCI empowers vulnerable families to break the cycle of poverty. Over the last ten years, 1,200 children have received an education through AGCI's Ethiopia Education Sponsorship program! Through monthly sponsorship, vulnerable children receive support for annual school fees, uniforms, school supplies, lunch money for school days and a savings program for future education.
Sponsored children are up to 40% more likely to complete secondary school and up to 80% more likely to complete a university education–this support is truly life changing! As we grow our family preservation efforts, we're also looking to expand our daycare model into Addis Ababa and Tigray so that low-income families have a safe place to leave their kids while they work.
Since 2007, our Hannah's Hope home in Gambella has served one of the most devastated and isolated regions of Ethiopia. While some of these children come into care only temporarily so their family can stabilize, many are orphaned by poverty, disease, or the conflict in nearby South Sudan. Our Ethiopia Hannah's Hope staff of 10 is currently made up of a team of special mothers, cooks, cleaners and a social worker.
Our social worker helps us identify long-term care options for the children at the home and advocates for the best possible outcomes for these children. Through Sponsorship, we're able to fund the exceptional, life-changing care these children receive! To date, over 1,014 orphans have received loving, family-like care through our Ethiopia Hannah's Hope home.
Through grants and sponsorship, we're helping vulnerable teenagers in Ethiopia break the cycle of poverty. Sponsorship provides these kids with funds for college tuition, textbooks, and housing so they are able to pursue their education and create independent, successful futures.
So far, 150 orphaned students have received a scholarship to go to college and pursue their dreams.
AGCI is working to connect with other NGOs that are active in Ethiopia to create a coalition. This group would help to define which services organizations are providing and how we can collectively tackle issues that children throughout Ethiopia face. We have a scope of work we know needs to happen and our goal is to find ways we can work with other NGOs throughout Ethiopia to ensure those needs are being met.
We're also continuing our work with the State Department and the Ministry of Women's Affairs around advocacy for reforming adoption.
While Ethiopia is currently closed to inter-country adoption, our hope is to help promote a more centralized system that's in line with Hague and can help give the checks and balances needed for ethical adoption to reopen in Ethiopia.
Our other goal is to expand our caretaker training curriculum to the federal level so that this training can be the framework for childcare in Ethiopia moving forward.
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be . . .
There are 8 million orphans living in institutions today. Tragically, most children living in institutions will grow up without ever knowing the love of a family. Due to deeply rooted systematic problems such as lack of access to education, corruption, poverty, and misguided policies, children are kept out of the arms of loving families. In . . .
AGCI is committed to transforming lives through Independence programs that give older orphans the tools they need to thrive. We do this in two primary ways: Vocational Training and Education Through education and vocational training, we're working to help orphans transition to independence, break the cycle of poverty, and create successful futures. These programs give . . .
What does it mean to be a hero? At AGCI, we believe that everyone has the ability to be a hero for a child in need—and it starts with Sponsorship! By sponsoring a child's care or education for just $40 a month, you can help change the world for a vulnerable child. At AGCI, there . . .
AGCI is dedicated to changing the reality of the orphan crisis. One of the ways we're intervening for the 8 million orphans living in institutions is by creating Policy to change broken systems for orphans and create clear paths to family and independence. AGCI's Policy work creates real, lasting change for orphans by: Empowering leaders—Through . . .
There are currently 8 million orphans living in institutions around the world. For AGCI, the current state of the orphan crisis is alarming and unacceptable. We're working to change lives through 5 proven initiatives. Policy to change broken systems for orphans and create clear paths to family and independence. AGCI creates real, lasting change for . . .
When 2-year-old Sifen arrived at Foten, the home AGCI is working with in Ethiopia, she was weak and despondent, still recovering from a surgical error that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Sifen's health was fragile at best when she received the additional diagnosis of hydrocephalus. Without emergency surgery to drain the fluids around her brain, Sifen had little hope of survival.
And then, something amazing happened—almost overnight, donations and messages of love and hope flooded in. Through His grace and the generosity of AGCI supporters, Sifen's surgery is now fully funded! Sifen has since undergone life saving surgery and is happily recovering thanks to the loving, elevated care, nutritious food, and essential therapies provided by dedicated sponsors. This care saved Sifen's life!

Joan Armatrading (Basseterre (Saint Kitts), 9 december 1950) is een Britse zangeres, songwriter en gitarist. Haar repertoire is niet onder één noemer te plaatsen; haar muziek omvatte aanvankelijk elementen uit de rock, rhythm-and-blues en folk en later ook uit de jazz en reggae.

Biografie

Jaren 70 en 80
Armatrading groeide op in Birmingham, Engeland. Ze bracht in 1972 haar eerste album uit (Whatever's for us). In 1980 had ze in Nederland een Top 40-notering met Rosie. In Vlaanderen had ze in 1981 een kleine hit met het nummer I'm lucky van het album Walk Under Ladders.

Jaren 90, 00 en 10
In 2008 werkten zij en andere bekende artiesten aan het album Songs for Tibet, een steunbetuiging aan Tibet en dalai lama Tenzin Gyatso. Songs for Tibet verscheen daags voor de opening van de Olympische Zomerspelen 2008, die in de Volksrepubliek China werden gehouden.

Op 11 mei 2018 was Armatrading te gast in de Graham Norton Show; ze vertolkte haar laatste single I Like It When We're Together.

Op 27 september 2019 zond BBC4 de documentaire Joan Armatrading: Me Myself I uit

Boek

Despite ethnic political parties' disappointing election results, the NLD should ensure ethnic politicians are included in decision-making, says Kachin party leader Manam Tu Ja.
MYITKYINA, Kachin State — Manam Tu Ja is a well-known Kachin leader, who served 34 years in the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), the political wing of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). He led the KIO delegation that participated in the military-run National Convention, a controversial process that resulted in the drafting of the 2008 constitution.
The 70-year-old was vice-president of KIO when he left the organization in 2009 to enter the world of party politics, but his Kachin State Progressive Party (KSPP) was barred from registering for the flawed 2010 general elections. Ahead of the historic 2015 vote, the trained dentist formed the Kachin State Democracy Party (KSDP), which fielded 55 candidates, ultimately winning four seats, including one in national Parliament. He lost his race in Myitkyina constituency.
During the Nov. 8 elections, Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won by a landslide, crushing the army-linked Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and surprising many by also winning big in ethnic minority-dominated areas where ethnic political parties had expected to do well. In Kachin State, two Kachin parties, including the KSDP, only managed to win a total of five seats.
Myanmar Now chief correspondent Thin Lei Win spoke to Dr. Tu Ja at his home in Myitkyina about the future of the peace process, the continued fighting in Kachin State, and what the election results mean for ethnic parties such as KSDP and their demands for federalism.
What are your thoughts on the results of the Nov. 8 election?
The National League for Democracy (NLD) is the only party, among the big ones, that could bring about change on a national scale. And there's only [one] Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. That's why everyone voted for them.
We are heading toward a federal union. The president said it in his Independence Day speech recently. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has also mentioned this. The only question is what kind of federalism this is going to be. The meaning of "federal" concerns self-administration, equality, power-sharing and resource-sharing. If we are going in this direction, in the states, ethic leaders will have to manage their states. But Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has said that the first priority of their party is to achieve peace, then a federal union. Now, the NLD has just swept to power, but once they have settled down, I believe the NLD will share power between the state level and the central level. We will still be in this transition process for four to five years.
We pay proper regard to NLD, but they should also understand that after they have formed a government and embarked on program, they should not ignore ethnic parties or capable persons from ethnic groups. The main thing is to form a strong and stable government led by the NLD and staffed with capable people.
Are there any contacts between Kachin leaders and the NLD? Any plans for discussions?
They are very busy at the moment. Their senior members, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, have said they have plans to hold discussions with ethnic parties and to include other parties in their government. But there have not been any discussions as yet. The election results show that the number of ethnic candidates in Parliament is very low. There are ethnic candidates from the NLD in Parliament but we'd like to see more candidates from the ethnic parties there. Except for [MPs from] Rakhine [Arakan] and Shan states, there are very few. This would lead to serious weaknesses when discussing ethnic affairs. Ethnic affairs play a crucial role in the peace-making process in Myanmar. There would be peace only when this issue is discussed in detail and solutions are found.
Do you think vote-splitting was the reason for the failure of ethnic political parties during the elections, or was it because voters only looked at the national rivalry between NLD and USDP?
One thing that is different in Kachin compared to Rakhine, Shan, Pa-O and Palaung areas is that [the Kachin] have more separate political parties and also [groups] of different faiths [Buddhist, Baptist, Catholic, etc]. Some are biased and only favor their own religion. No matter how much we urged the voters to vote based on people's capabilities and to not have any party or religious biases, some didn't accept it. We need to take lessons from this for the next 2020 general elections. The parties need to be united, and educate the voters to avoid religious bias.
Do you think the results will make it easier to merge ethnic political parties for the 2020 vote?
There are many who are suggesting Kachin parties should be united. We can't continue in this vein in 2020.
Do you feel any frustration or dissatisfaction that your party won in only four constituencies?
I have to say it's fortunate that we at least won four seats. In truth, we should have won more seats. In Rakhine, parties urged voters to vote for NLD at the central level, but to vote for Rakhine parties at the state level and that worked very well. Here, the NLD swept all the seats.
How important is the Union Peace Conference that is being held from Jan. 12 with the ethnic armed groups that signed the so-called nationwide ceasefire accord?
Some have criticized the KIO for not signing the NCA and said its inflexibility is the reason why fighting has not stopped. What do you say to that?
It was agreed that the parties would meet in Naypyidaw on Sept. 9 to embark on concrete steps to sign the NCA. Both the president and the army chief were to be present, as well as the chairman, or vice chairman, of the ethnic armed groups. The first disappointment arose when the army chief Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing went on a trip instead. The government's peace negotiator U Aung Min explained afterwards that the military chief's tour was already scheduled. But KIO felt they were not welcomed, that the military doesn't buy into this [process].
Another factor was that the government wanted to sign the ceasefire deal only with the big ethnic armed groups whereas the ethnic groups wanted everyone to sign at the same time regardless of size. Thirdly, the KIO asked for cessation of the ongoing military offensive but the request was refused. I'm just being open here, I am not blaming anybody.
What should be done to raise trust between the two sides?
At first, President Thein Sein proposed separate talks with individual ethnic armed groups. But the other side wanted a meeting involving all the stakeholders. The government finally accepted it. The first breakthrough over trust was when the president also accepted that political means are required to resolve political problems. No previous governments had done so. This was the first step of gaining trust [between the two sides]. But somehow, when the time came, it did not result in signing [the ceasefire deal]. It's like you've already built a new house, and then demolishing it just before house warming. Both sides did not want to give in. We have to take that as a lesson.
Some have criticized the lack of women involved in the peace process. What do you think?
They have to be involved. Our party prioritizes women and we don't discriminate against them. But this process is new so it may be that they have little interest or perhaps their qualification is weak, and that's why the numbers are low. But their participation is increasing daily. They should be involved in both the political dialogue and Parliament. The women asked for a 30 percent quota in drafting political framework. I suggested it should be "at least 30 percent," otherwise it could be seen that you can't go beyond 30 percent.
Kachin is suffering from the consequences of natural resources extraction. What measures should be taken to tackle it?
Resources-sharing and power-sharing are very important. The main issue is the authority of the state governments—how much power do the state governments have. At the moment, everything is controlled by the central government. It's a central monopoly. The rule of law is weak and that's why the situation is as it is. Kachin people are the owners of the natural resources in Kachin State. Yet they haven't seen the benefits of the resources. Instead the resources are almost depleted after being exploited by people who only have their self-interest, working with the authorities. Kachin State is rich in natural resources, but its people are poor. This is because the system is bad.
How long do you think it would take for Burma to achieve peace, both in Kachin and beyond?
It will not happen overnight. It is likely to take 5 to 10 years. Even the current [peace] conference could be organized only after four or five years of negotiations. This would be held every four months and under the agreement there are many topics to discuss. You'd have to discuss this for three or four years to reach a union-level accord. Then you still have to implement agreements on politics and military affairs. It might not even happen by 2020.
Before, when people said it might take 5 to 10 years I used to think it's because they are dragging their heels. We are impatient, you see. But look at it now—that's really how long it takes.

Q: openssh tty perms With each and every ssh connection, there is an associated pseudo terminal set up like /dev/ttyp1 /dev/ttyp2 etc.
In openssh in some code path, /dev/ttyp2  permissions are changed from crw-rw-rw- (default) to crwx-w---- (after connection setup).
Is there any way I can see which code section does this in openssh?
May be with gdb debugger, is there any way I can 'watch' on a particular file permissions.
In some function in openssh, with session *s as argument, s->tty is set to /dev/ttyp2 and by that time perms does not have 'x' execution bit set.
But after connection is setup completely, /dev/ttyp2 gets 'x' bit set.
I tried watching on address of s->tty variable but that does not help.
Any ideas?

A: There exists a function pty_setowner() in openssh/sshpty.c which actually does a chmod on tty device allocated for a session.
The problem that I faced was chmod is failing on tty dev file and tty dev file is not getting execution permission and thus there was no log printed on my terminal.
Thanks any ways.

Slicing up produce can be messy and take time, but dried fruits and some veggies are tasty and easy to carry.
There are fruits like bananas, apples and pears that will stay fresh on the counter for about a week. Keep a bowl of fruit on a table so you can grab and go.
An apple makes the perfect quick snack – and there are more than 7,500 varieties of apples to try!
Busy schedules or eating in front of the TV can get in the way of making healthier eating decisions. Take time to eat with a group or one other person as much as possible. You can make healthier eating more fun!
