Garrick Delights Watch Enthusiasts At SalonQP
Garrick attended SalonQP for the first time (12th – 14th November) and was amazed at the incredibly positive reaction from visitors, press and fellow watch brands alike. Indeed at times, with swathes of people surrounding the exhibition stand, it proved difficult to greet everyone who showed an interest in the company and its new models, the Norfolk and the Regulator.
SalonQP is the UK's premiere watch exhibition and this year the event was attended by a record number of visitors.
Ten Best Watches at SalonQP
A plethora of watch companies from around the globe showcased a myriad of new watches,
including some of the finest examples of haute horlogerie created by the world's most prestigious maisons. It was, therefore, heartwarming for Garrick to receive coverage on CNN and occupy several column inches in the New York Times. Moreover, Garrick was delighted to be selected as one of the 'Ten Best Watches at SalonQP' by Stephen Pulvirent, bloomberg.com SEE HERE
Holbeck and Strehler join Garrick at SalonQP
Michael Holbeck, the renowned freelance watch designer from Germany and one of the key figures behind the new Norfolk model, attended the event and spent time meeting visitors on the Garrick stand. Michael was able to regale the public with fascinating insights into horological history and the design of timepieces.
Andreas Strehler, arguably the greatest watchmaker on the planet, known for producing ground-breaking movements for Harry Winston, H. Moser & Cie and Maurice Lacroix was also in attendance on the Garrick stand. Andreas chose the venue to showcase his latest timepiece, the Time Shadow. Furthermore, Andreas has been actively working on the development of the first exclusive Garrick movement to feature in a forthcoming new model, to be launched in 2016.
The waiting lists have started to grow
The Norfolk and the Regulator were revealed to the public for the first time at SalonQP and the reaction was very favourable. Several visitors have placed orders and as the waiting lists have inevitably started to grow, would-be buyers are encouraged to express their interest as soon as possible.
With a bright future in store, we are delighted with the success of Garrick during 2015 and wish our friends a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2016.

Recalling a high school lesson where she learned poppy seeds can cause a false positive on drug tests, she told the doctor there must be a mistake: Her breakfast must have triggered the results.
Professor Atholl Johnston, a professor of clinical pharmacology at Queen Mary University, explained that while consuming poppy seeds may increase one's chances of being tested positive for opiates, it's unlikely to have an intoxicating impact. "And I ate a poppy seed bagel this morning for breakfast, '" Eden told WBAL.
She was forced to stay in hospital for five days, and was assigned a caseworker to check her home.
St. Joseph Medical Center routinely tests new mothers for opiates to identify possible at-rusk infants, Dr. Judith Rossiter-Pratt told WBAL.
"While poppy seeds don't actually contain morphine, the seeds can become coated by, or absorb, opium extract during harvesting", the U.S. Department of Agriculture says. "It's not very common, but it can happen", Nelson told Live Science.
In a 1987 study, five members of a lab baked cookies containing about 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) each of a poppy-seed filling that they bought from the grocery store. The concentration of morphine in their urine was greater than 300 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), which was the minimum cutoff used by the test.
The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment writes that until food manufacturers reduce morphine levels in poppy seeds, it advises against excessive consumption, particularly during pregnancy. However, most labs continue to use lower cutoffs, the review said.

A sheep in wolf's clothing? By William Bowles
"The world is suffering, at the same time, the consequences of climatic changes; shortages and prices of foods, military spending and the squandering of natural and human resources are increasing. War was the timeliest event that could happen at this time." — 'Partnership of Equals' By Fidel Castro Ruz
I'm glad someone is on the ball.
Now I know some of my readers are going to be somewhat pissed off with what I have to say but I don't write to make friends, rather I try to make sense of events from a left perspective, even if such views are somewhat thin on the ground these days. Nor do I take any pleasure from the act of criticizing what passes for a left in the Western world, yet the reality is unfortunately that the Western left is so corrupted by racism and indoctrinated with the idea of 'reforming' capitalism, that I venture to say that it wouldn't recognize a socialist revolution if it ran right over them. For the most part it definitely didn't recognize the true nature of the Libyan 'revolution'.
And surely the events of the past few weeks have finally revealed the fact that what we choose to call progressive here in the 'developed' world, has to be amended to 'liberal-possibly progressive', infected as the left is with the disease called Empire. Frankly until the generation raised in the tradition of 20th century Western marxism has died off (the 'leaders' that is), I don't hold out much hope of any real, progressive change taking place where it really counts:here.
Caught up in the euphoria of multiple insurrections (something we haven't seen since the 1960s as a result of the post-war anti-colonial struggles reaching fruition), with notable exceptions the 'left' appears to have tossed analysis out the window and instead joined the phony and hypocritical call by the Empire to protect the human rights of the Libyan people- by bombing them.
I am not saying that the 'left' directly advocated bombing Libya but supporting a 'no-fly zone' is tantamount to exactly that, guilty by abstension, the very thing that enabled this piratical grab for Libyan resources and to further the strategic ambitions if the Empire. At last Africom has established itself as a military force on the continent (and I wouldn't mind betting that this was one component of the Libyan strategy).
But what led to such a depressing situation? How is it that a left that has such a proud tradition of revolutionary struggle should end up this way, a shadow if its former self, reduced to mouthing empty phrases about revolutions and humanitarian bombing?
I think those who have led the left in the post-WWII period are just too damn comfortable, small fish in even smaller ponds who have traded in their revolutionary inheritance for a monopoly on thought. Thus it continually fragments as they seek the 'true path to enlightenment', with the competing 'isms' endlessly fighting it out and it's been this way for as long as I can remember.
Meanwhile, the Empire gets on with business.
The BBC has gone to extreme lengths to try and prove that firstly, every last one of the Empire's missiles, dozens of them raining down in Libya, have unlike all the other wars the Empire has going, actually found their intended targets. It's bent over backward to please the empire endlessly churning out the message: 'these are humanitarian bombs falling on Libyans', whether civilian or armed. What a contradiction! Truly Orwellian in scale.
'Civilians spared' by Libya raids The US chief of staff for the mission in Libya insists there have been no reports of civilian casualties caused by allied action', BBC, 24 March 2011
And second, that Gaddafi is lying when he claims that civilians have died. After all, the central mantra that the Empire has been broadcasting has been 'humanitarian intervention', thus dead Libyans, killed with USNATO missiles kinda shatters the illusion.
So John Simpson, veteran BBC journalist, who has made a career out of reporting other peoples' death and misery as he trailed the Empire on its journey of destruction around the planet, took us to Tripoli to a (civilian) site that the Gaddafi regime claimed had been hit by a USNATO missile.
Something had definitely hit the location, there was shrapnel on the ground and bits of missile. But Simpson took us to a wall pockmarked mostly with bullet holes and maybe some shrapnel scars and told the audience, 'these are bullet holes definitely made by an AK-47, so Gaddafi is lying' when he says Libyans have been killed by USNATO missiles (in a later version broadcast this allegation was left out).
The following story reveals the gross lie the BBC is fobbing off on the reader:
Allies join fight for Libya city – International forces launch air strikes near Libya's rebel-held city of Misrata, witnesses say, but Col Gaddafi's forces continue their attacks', BBC 23 March 2011
How quickly the 'humanitarian mission' morphed into giving air support to the rebel army, without which it wouldn't stand a chance against the superior Gaddafi forces and how quickly the BBC morphed its own coverage. As usual, in lockstep with the Empire's objectives, the goalposts have been moved. It's no longer about 'humanitarian intervention' but the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime.
It's like a carefully constructed jigsaw with each piece of the propaganda war dependent on all the other pieces fitting together correctly. The starting point that led to the Empire's illegal act of war hinged on one simple assertion: That Gaddafi's forces, on the verge of taking Benghazi, would if they succeeded, slaughter the inhabitants. 'We had to intercede, it's a humanitarian intervention'.
The BBC and the corporate press have gone to great lengths to create the illusion that Gaddafi is a liar, a 'weirdo' and possibly a genocidal maniac, this too becomes part of theraison d'etre for intervention, a mad man with guns and jet planes! Send in the Marines (with guns and jet planes).
'The Gaddafi story – The many faces of Libya's unpredictable leader', BBC 26 March 2011
I haven't seen the BBC spending any time investigating the endless slaughter of civilians in any one of the half dozen wars the Empire has going, yet Simpson spent several minutes exploring Gaddafi's 'lies'. He had to in order to preserve the illusion of 'humanitarian intervention'. We're good, Gaddafi is bad.
How can Gaddafi be the West's 'best friend' one minute and the devil incarnate the next? Well we pulled the same trick with Saddam Hussein, arming him one minute and attacking him the next. The US even armed both sides in the Iraq-Iran war with 'Dr. Strangelove' (Kissinger) actually boasting about it.
1980-1988, Iran-Iraq: Helping Both Sides Lose the War (pdf)
'Humanitarian intervention' became the mantra out of the Empire's media mouthpieces, repeated ad nauseum, yet it rested on the allegation made by the besieged rebels in Benghazi, who were on the verge of defeat. And as time has elapsed, it's now evident that assorted Western intelligence agencies and military forces have been in Benghazi since before the uprising even began. What is their involvement in the 'uprising'? We are not told but according to Voltaire.net, the uprising was planned in Paris in November 2010 by the British and French intelligence agencies and set to commence on 21 March. And given that the British SAS have been in Benghazi for weeks (aside from their buffoonish, botched 'rescue mission'), I am convinced that the 'revolution' was Western-inspired (and it looks like a similar scenario is now being played out in Syria).
"Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) raised the possibility Sunday of U.S. military involvement in Syria if President Bashar Al-Assad massacres." — 'Lieberman: Syria Could Be Next'
The West behind the Libyan 'revolution'?
'He [Nouri Massoud El-Mesmari, former Gaddafi aide who defected to France] is now under the protection of French secret services, and [he] proposed to the French to organize an uprising in Benghazi and to overthrow Gaddafi,' Meyssan continued. 'The French asked the British to co-create a military expeditionary force, and it was signed between [them] on November 2.'
'And you can verify that because the French military was asked to perform a big exercise with the British called Southern Mistral. And this military exercise is in fact exactly what is happening now, with the same people and the same strategy'— 'Anti-Gaddafi plot conceived in Paris', 24 March 2011, Voltaire.net
When you add in the initial allegations that did the rounds in the beginning (African mercenaries, Gaddafi bombing civilians) which then vanished, a clear pattern of manipulation emerges and one faithfully echoed by the media every step of the way. A sophisticated propaganda campaign, I hazard a guess planned well in advance.
Should the left support Gaddafi?
Gaddafi presented the Western 'left' with a real dilemma and one that in part explains why it got caught up in the rush to intervene on 'humanitarian grounds'. See he's not a 'real' socialist, far from it, he banned trade unions, renounced his allegedly anti-imperialist position and joined the 'war on terror'. Had it been Chavez and Venezuela, things would have been entirely different, after all, he's a real socialist and well worth defending. But what leftie worth his salt would be caught dead defending Gaddafi?
But Gaddafi is by no means the worst ruler around, especially when compared to other, Western-backed/installed regimes in the region (and elsewhere) and Libya has the highest standard of living on the African continent. But in fact this is all irrelevant. Let the Libyan people figure it out for themselves and for our part, we do everything we can to stop our governments from acting illegally and undemocratically and interfering in the affairs of sovereign states. Once we've done that (fat chance) then maybe, just maybe, we'll be in some better position to offer some 'comradely advice' to those doing the struggling, essentially on our behalf.
And in any case, consider the issue of Gamal Nasser, the first of the modern Arab leaders, a man who banned the Communist Party and locked up its leaders. Should we not have supported him in his struggle against the West? Nasser was no socialist but a nationalist and I assume whatever weird ideas Gaddafi has about political economy, he too is a nationalist but no way is he any kind of socialist I would recognize. In many ways he belongs to an earlier age like many of his historical peers from the days of the anti-colonial struggles.
Whatever Gaddafi is, saint or sinner is neither here nor there, but then we live in a culture dominated by the cult of the individual, hence it's very easy to separate the man from his past, simply omit it and make the focus the 'mad man' instead.
"Sarkozy was in big trouble with [the Libyan leader Muammar] Gaddafi because he [Gaddafi] cancelled a huge contract they signed together four years ago for Rafael fighters and a lot of nuclear [power] plants" (ibid)
Meanwhile in Bahrain the forgotten (at least by most of the Western left) insurrection continues in the face of brutal state suppression.
"The wave of kidnappings, assassinations and beatings unto death was but the first line of attack. Any who tended to the wounded was at risk for kidnapping and death. Police and army units invaded hospitals, attacking doctors and surgeons on the spot, kidnapping others and seizing the wounded from emergency rooms. They were ripped from operating tables and pulled from intensive care units in Salmaniya hospital, al Sitra hospital, the International Hospital of Bahrain and from makeshift trauma units set up randomly in shops." — 'In the face of unbridled attack, a nationwide renewal of resistance in Bahrain' by Ralph Schoenman, 27

Kid Rock: Senate Stunt Was a 'Riot'
Theo Wargo, Getty Images
Kid Rock says he enjoyed watching the media "losing their s---" over his fake Senate run earlier this year – but he's also expressed sorrow for those who offered genuine support for such a bid, and admits he may yet face "repercussions" for the stunt. The suggestion that he could run as a Republican candidate surfaced in February as a rumor, but he then took it further – despite having no real intention of taking up politics full-time.
"It might be one of the dumber things I've ever done, but it was a f---ing riot," Rock told Billboard. "Man, some of the s--- that went on was unbelievable. It started to become real, which got a little scary. I mean, I just don't understand who looks at Kid Rock and goes, 'Yeah, I see a senator there ...' But it was still a lot of fun in a lot of ways.
"The press started having their little laugh with it, like they always do. This time I thought, 'Y'know, I'm gonna f--- with them a little bit.' We said, 'Alright, we're gonna run with this,' and of course I'm not running for Senate. We were leading everybody on. Man, we had a blast. Every time we'd do something, just watching the press losing their s--- over it was hilarious. There were times we couldn't stop laughing."
As time went on, people close to the spoof even began to become convinced, he revealed. "Even one of the people who was part of the whole thing, and there were only a few, about two and a half months into it, called me and went, 'Dude, are you seriously gonna do this?' And I'm like, 'What the f--- are you talking about? You were in on it when we set this whole thing up! You were one of the designers of the plan!'"
He acknowledges he had bad feelings about having misled people who believed in him. "There were calls and letters that came to me from all over that wanted to help me out, that really believed in me that I could get there and make a change. There were governors, there were the highest levels from the White House down to local leaders and neighbors and things like that."
Reaffirming his interest in politics and his support for U.S. President Donald Trump, Rock reflected that he was "not sure what the repercussions" might be from his stunt.

And saw the device record, but nothing seems that Ubuntu got the problem. But in windows, we got no problem. Then we tested the power supply on the charger and found that the Ubuntu need sufficient amount of power that couldn't be provided by the charger.
Also, we tested the PC with my HP charger, and found that it was working fine. So, you may say what's the point that it was solved. But I am waring you about the change time of your charger. Or just use the windows and be a dumb.

Case Study #170
CSO's Manifesto
How a global security program finally earned its seat at the executive table
One of the World's Leading Manufacturers
Client's Challenge: "How Do We Communicate Security's Value to the Business?"
In 2011, the Chief Security Officer of a major global manufacturer laid out his dilemma in simple terms. "Over the last six years," he said, "we've been systematically formalizing the security function, building up our capacity to manage down the risks that confront out business in many areas." He ticked them off on her fingers. Fraud and embezzlement. Employee conduct. Executive protection. Workplace violence prevention. The list continued.
"But many of my executive colleagues – and even some of our board members – still think of security like we used to: as a tactical environmental, health and safety function. Or worse, as a 'check the box' list of facility management tasks. Like installing more CCTV cameras and counting outstanding keys."
Our Solution: Developing a Security Annual Report
"Prevention is hard to measure," agreed Hillard Heintze's CEO. "Many of our other executive clients are frustrated with the same challenge. This is about telling your program's story. Building awareness at every level – board, management team, business division leaders, functional heads. Even front-line employees. This is about explaining security's business value and its contribution to the core operational activities, service lines, functions and support capabilities that drive your bottom line."
The CEO suggested developing an "annual report" for the enterprise's global security program. "Think of this," he said, "as a multi-year 'look back' that highlights the arc of your program's evolution, its significant milestones, its challenges and successes in serving as a 'silent partner' to the business, and the client-service ethic it asked of every salaried member of its global team." The CSO agreed and, within days, charged his global team with contributing to the collaborative effort.
Impact on the Client: Stakeholders Took Note. And Publishing This Report Became an Annual Practice.
This effort turned heads. Board members and executives on the management team referred to the report by name. Members of the security team at every level – across countries and functional areas of expertise – referenced sections of the publication for a wealth of reasons. And ten months later, the CSO asked Hillard Heintze to start drafting the next year's annual report.
Unplugged: The Project Manager's Post-Engagement Perspective
"Every function within the enterprise contributes value to the business. Or it wouldn't be funded by the CFO. Security does as well but in a unique way. Sometimes it's obvious to the leadership team. But, if the security function is doing its job, much of the time it's not.
We found that developing an annual report for the corporation's security function is an exceptionally powerful, mission-enabling tactic. Not just as an awareness tool and an important 'look back' of security's maturation, but even more importantly as a solid platform of shared understanding crucial to gaining buy-in for the next critical planning document: the program's three-to-five year security strategy."

Pakistan CPEC Discussed in the European Parliament
Baluchistan House
03 Mar, 2017, 11:52 GMT
BRUSSELS, March 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
A conference titled 'Opposition against CPEC in Pakistan' was held at the European Parliament in Brussels on March 1, 2017. Hosted by Members of the European Parliament and the Baluchistan House, the conference was aimed at highlighting the deep-seated antipathy to the project among the residents of Gilgit-Baltistan, Sindh and Baluchistan, three Pakistani provinces through which the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passes.
Among the speakers representing the various regions in Pakistan were Mehran Baluch (Baluch Representative to the EU), Rubina Greenwood (Chairperson, World Sindhi Congress) and Wajahat Hassan (G-B leader-in-exile and Head of the Gilgit-Baltistan Thinkers Forum). The MEPs who spoke on this occasion were Fulvio Martusciello and Alberto Cirio, and Paulo Casaca, Executive Director of the South Asia Development Forum, moderated the event.
The conference commenced with a documentary film that showed how the CPEC was negatively impacting the lives of locals all along its route due to the loss of jobs, environmental degradation, forced displacement and increase in Army deployment and control.
In his opening remarks, Paulo Casaca said that though the CPEC was touted as a game-changer by both Pakistan and China, the reality was far removed from that. He also highlighted the fact that the projects under the CPEC were being built largely against the will of the locals of Baluchistan, Sindh and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Baluch representative Mehran Baloch opined that the construction of the CPEC in Baluchistan and Gilgit-Baltistan was illegal, as Baluchistan was territory occupied by Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan was disputed territory, even as per Pakistan's Constitution. He further stated that the CPEC was being used to suppress the Baloch identity and culture, and the Pakistani government was subtly pursuing a policy of changing the demography of the province. He added that on the pretext of the CPEC, there was a deliberate move by the government to bring in and re-settle Punjabis and Chinese nationals in the region, thereby attempting to dilute and eventually wipe-out the Baloch identity. Similar concerns were expressed by Rubina Greenwood, who feared that the CPEC would merely result in the transfer of Sindh's natural resources to China, without any corresponding benefit to the province. Wajahat Hassan, while highlighting cases of human rights violations in Gilgit Baltistan, accused Islamabad of allowing foreign countries, particularly China, to exploit the resources of the region. He also stated that the Pakistani government had initiated a process of altering the demography of Gilgit Baltistan, with the objective to increase its influence there.
In his address, Fulvio Martusciello MEP highlighted the human rights violations being carried out by Pakistan's security forces, in a bid to suppress protests against the CPEC. He referred to incidents of enforced disappearances, land-grabbing and forced eviction of locals from their homes, all in the name of the CPEC. He cautioned European Union member-states not to respond to Pakistan's overtures to invest in the CPEC, as the project was being built by trampling upon the rights of the locals and major portions of the corridor traversed through disputed territory.
Alberto Cirio, MEP, described the CPEC as a project in which, under the pretext of 'development', the State was indulging in corrupt practices for short-term gains, even at the cost of human rights violations against the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and Baluchistan. He also expressed concern about the charter of the Special Security Division (SSD), apparently set up to protect Chinese workers in Pakistan. He stated that the number of personnel in the SSD was higher than the number of Chinese workers in Pakistan, indicating that it would probably be used for other purposes, including suppressing of the locals.
All the panellists agreed that the Pakistan government was violating human rights of the locals by imposing a foreign-led project on the various regions, without consultation. There was also agreement that the project would only lead to the enrichment of China and the Pakistani province of Punjab, at the cost of the other regions in Pakistan.

Allen Robinson describes battle with COVID: 'It was a beast'
Posted by: admin Categories: Coronavirus
Comments Off on Allen Robinson describes battle with COVID: 'It was a beast'
After missing the Bears' last two games against the Vikings and Seahawks, it's unclear whether Robinson will be able to return for Sunday's home finale versus the Giants.
"It's just about, from a physical standpoint, getting back, seeing where I'm at conditioning-wise," Robinson said. "I haven't run into many things like [COVID]. It was a beast. Like I said before, [I'm] just trying to stack days on top of each other and continue to improve. But getting back into the groove of things, it hasn't been easy. It's not going to be easy, but [I'm] just trying to continue to find a way."
Playing on the franchise tag this season, Robinson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March. Battling back from COVID, he said he hasn't given any thought about Sunday's game possibly being his final home contest with the Bears.
"For me, it's just getting through the next day," Robinson said. "I haven't really taken myself that far as far as what's next. It's just about the next day; going day-by-day. Although that might be the reality or whatever the case may be—we don't know what that is—I haven't mentally taken myself there yet. It's just try to continue to get through this season; continue to find ways for myself to get better. Now, it's about getting healthy."
Robinson was elated to watch on television Sunday as veteran quarterback Nick Foles helped lead the Bears to a thrilling 25-24 comeback win over the Seahawks. Trailing 24-17, Foles threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jimmy Graham and a two-point conversion pass to receiver Damiere Byrd with 1:01 remaining.
"Man, Nick's a pro," Robinson said. "He's like a microwave; you put him in and he's going to heat something up. To be honest, that's what I expect from Nick. Going out there and seeing how he performed, leading the team on a game-winning drive, go back and look at his résumé. I mean, the man has won a Super Bowl. He was Super Bowl MVP. He has the capability to come in and get hot at any point in time.
"I thought he played a heck of a game. As teammates, as players, as people who know Nick and who have been around Nick, that's the expectation of him."
Roster moves: The Bears on Tuesday removed practice-squad receiver Isaiah Coulter from the reserve/COVID-19 list and waived running back Artavis Pierce from the practice squad.

Jessica Tan
B.S. in Public Health
Graduated in May 2019
WVU truly feels like home. It's a big university, but within the School of Public Health, you really feel like a family.
It was overcast and rainy the day Jessica Tan visited WVU campus. It didn't matter. She knew right away this is where she wanted to be.
In May 2019, Tan was among the first undergraduate students graduating from the School of Public Health's new Patient Navigation area of emphasis. She knew the Public Health major was the right fit for her just like WVU.
"I knew I wanted to study public health when I realized the everyday tasks I was performing were all linked to public health. People are alive and well today due to public health initiatives," said Tan.
While she loved the big university atmosphere of WVU, Tan also appreciated the small class sizes in the School of Public Health.
"I really got to know my peers and connected with my professors," said Tan. "I really enjoyed all the classes because each professor has been so passionate about their research and the course they were teaching."
In particular, Tan says Lindsay Allen, Ph.D., had a significant impact on her.
"Dr. Allen is a wonderful professor and an amazing person overall. She truly cares about her students," said Tan. "She helped me learn so much and continues to motivate me to pursue my dreams."
Throughout her Public Health coursework, Tan says her brain was rewired to think in terms of public health and about prevention efforts that could keep people safe. Her experience at WVU also allowed her to see the world differently.
"I come from a suburban/urban area and had never really been in a rural community before," said Tan. "In my Public Health classes, I quickly realized the different barriers a person might face when they live in a rural area and that really motivated me to learn ways to help people overcome these barriers."
The Patient Navigation area of emphasis in the Public Health major was just the right path for Tan. The courses prepare students to become members of healthcare teams that help individuals overcome barriers to quality care, including access, literacy, transportation and more. Patient Navigators – or PNs – assist individuals in reducing and eliminating barriers to health care access and in negotiating complex health delivery systems.
"WVU and the School of Public Health really opened my eyes to find ways to help different people," said Tan. "It made me realize that every person has different needs, and it is important to listen to what they want and need instead of assuming."
Now that she's ready to graduate, Tan says she is looking forward to putting her skills to work and making a difference.
"I want to gain experience as a patient navigator and apply what I have learned to improve the healthcare system," said Tan. "My ultimate career goal is to travel to developing countries and help strengthen health systems."

A view from the middle of America

Fair Play and Foul Times
June 12, 2019 By The Central Standard Times in Culture Tags: Golden State Warriors, Jill Ellis, Kevin Durant, routs, running up the score, sideline fights, substitutes, Thailand, Toronto Raptors, Women's soccer, World Cup	Leave a comment
Now is far too early to be writing about the upcoming Democratic party primary race, although we're tempted to by a newly released Quinnipiac poll that shows many of the contenders currently well ahead of President Donald Trump in key states. Trump was waving around of piece of paper that he contended was a secret agreement he'd reached with Mexico, which reminded us of Sen. Joe McCarthy waving a piece of paper he contended was a list of all the communists working in the State Department, but better to let that play out before writing about it.
There was plenty of other news afoot, as usual, but two separate stories in the sports page caught our eye. Both had to do with sportsmanship, which is one of those old-fashioned values our conservative souls hate to see slipping away.
Although we're too all-American to care much about soccer — or "football," as the damned foreigners insist on calling it — we've been pleased to see that for some time now the American women's team has been quite good. The American men's team has achieved respectability, but the distaff national squad has been a dominant force, winning three World Cups and four Olympic gold medals and more than two dozen titles in other prestigious international tournaments. They started their defense of the World Cup championship on Tuesday beating Thailand by a score of 13 to 0, which prompted criticism in some quarters.
Soccer is such a low-scoring game that a three goal differential is considered a butt-kicking akin to the 60 to 6 scores that the big time college football teams routinely rack up in their early games against tune-up teams, so the record-setting 13 goal difference was considered an unsportsmanlike running up of the score intended to humiliate a clearly outmatched opponent. The team and its coach were unapologetic, however, and based on accounts of the game we figure they had nothing apologize for. Old-fashioned notions of gentlemanly and ladylike require that a team pull its starters once a game has been clearly won, even if it's not yet halftime, which the American squad apparently did with a six goal lead or so. No coach can ask the substitutes to play less than their best during their time on the field in front of family and friends, however, and in this case the bench was also six or seven goals better than the Thai starters.
"To be respectful to opponents is to play hard against opponents," U.S. Coach Jill Ellis said, which sounds about right to us. Ellis also noted that the team is playing for another world championship, adding that "I don't find it my job to harness my players and rein them in." Those substitutes will play some crucial minutes in the closer matches are sure to come, and Ellis is wise to keep them sharp. We do feel badly for those outmatched Thai players whose family and friends watched them endure a record-setting butt-kicking, and after our inept years on the playgrounds we can empathize, but our best advice is that they try to get better.
The other story came from the National Basketball Associations finals, where the powerhouse Golden State Warriors, the defending champions and winners of three of the last four playoffs, found themselves down by a seemingly insurmountable three games to one in the best of seven series against the underdog Toronto Raptors, who were in the finals for the first time in franchise history. One reason for the Warriors woes was that the supremely gifted small forward Kevin Durant, a recent most valuable player who was twice the the MVP of the finals, was on the bench with an injury. Durant either foolishly or courageously took to the court for the fifth game, depending on how you look at it, and although the Warriors won and are now down only three to two and have a chance of extending their dynasty he aggravated an achilles tendon in the efforts, and he wound be around for game six or a possible game seven and might even start next season on the bench.
As Durant was being carried off the court many of the Raptors fans loudly cheered the injury, and there's no excuse for that. Canadians are typically very polite people, but the big sport up there is ice hockey, which doesn't understand the concept of unnecessary roughness, so we weren't entirely surprised. To their credit the American players who make up the Raptors' roster chastised the cheering fans, and gave Durant respectful applause on his way to the hospital, and the team's management also issued a "tweet" saying they don't approve of anyone cheering a player's injury. The Warriors had earlier apologized for one of its franchise owners who started a sideline fight with Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, and banned the fellow from the rest of the finals, so at least the league is taking an admirable stand on sportsmanship that shouldn't be necessary.
Both stories are about mere games, but we think they illustrate a broader cultural decline that also infects our politics. On both sides of the political divide people want to run up the score, recognize no standards of unnecessary, and think it doesn't matter how you play the game so long as you win. We hate to lose a game just as much as the next guy, but we'd hate even worse to lose the tradition of fair play by the fair rules.

Oh Yeah, the Economy
June 18, 2015 By The Central Standard Times in Politics Tags: 0 percent interest rates, baseball, basketball, Economy, Federal Reserve, Golden State Warriors, money-printing, national debt, politics, presidential race, stimulus, Trans Pacific Partnership	Leave a comment
Perhaps it's just because we're not hanging out with a high-rolling crowd, or because baseball season is underway and the National Basketball Association's playoffs just concluded, but nobody seems to be talking about the economy these days. All of the non-business news media seem equally uninterested, to the point that it takes another announcement from the Federal Reserve Board to get any front-page play for those poor newspaper scribes stuck on the economy beat.
We suspect this has something to do with the diocletian nature of all that boring data that the Fed went on about Wednesday. The economy isn't quite bad enough for the Republicans to make an issue of it, and not nearly good enough for the Democrats to do any bragging, and apparently not so bad that the Fed feels obliged to again ramp up the money-printing that fueled that newsworthy stock market boom, but not so good that it intends to raise interest rates above 0 percent any time soon, and only the economics geeks understand what any of that means and none of them seem agree about it. Better to talk about baseball and basketball and whatever else might be going on, we suppose, but we can't shake a nervous feeling that something important is going unremarked.
Perhaps it's also because no one seems to know what to do about it. President Barack Obama's only big economic initiative since that pork-laden "stimulus" bill and all the other debt-increasing "investments" he and his Democratic majorities in Congress foisted on the country back in the bad old days has been his Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade deal with most of Asia, and the Republican congressional majorities that resulted from those earlier fiascos have been largely supportive, and it's suddenly the remaining Democrats who are balking, and by now it's more a story about our troubling politics than our troubled economy. David Brooks, The New York Times' token "conservative" who fell in love with the perfectly pressed crease in Obama's pants way back in '08 and has never quite gotten over it, blames it all on what he calls the "Tea Party" faction of the Democratic party, which is wedded to labor unions and their protectionist preferences, and although he admits that Obama's characteristic secretiveness prevents anyone without top-secret security clearance from knowing what the free-trade deal is he rightly notes that those same Democrats don't seem to mind they have no idea about the wacky deal he's making with the even wackier mullahs of Iran about their nuclear weapon ambitions. Our conservatism requires no quotation marks, and we're staunchly Republican, and will grouse that the "Tea Party" analogy belies Brooks' putative conservatism because the "Tea Party" was pretty much right about the growing debt and all the regulatory red-tape resulting from all those expensive "investments" and everything else, and we're free-traders to our Adam Smith core, but even we are so spooked about Obama's negotiating record and what might be hidden in that Trans-Pacific partnership that we're willing to wait another two years or more for a better and more transparent agreement. There's some fun in watching all the presidential hopefuls in both parties try to finesse this mess, even if the smart ones seem to understand they can simply ignore it, but otherwise we can well understand why people are following the divisional races in major league baseball and The Golden State Warrior's long-awaited basketball championship.
Eventually everyone will be forced to pay some attention to the economy, certainly by November of '16, and at that point it will be all about politics. The Republicans will argue that the numbers regarding jobs and household wealth and Gross Domestic Produce could have and should have been been much better, the Democrats will reply that those admittedly unimpressive numbers would have been so much worse without the president's "investments" and resultant regulations and trillions of dollars of debt that everyone would have stopped going to work and buying groceries and falling for the latest advertised seductions and we'd all be rubbing sticks together in some cave, and that the same president's secretiveness and lack of meaningful relationships with anyone else in government sank that Trans-Pacific Partnership that might have helped, and there's no way way of knowing who the public will blame.
They'll blame somebody, though, because there's no getting around the end-of-the-month fact that economy isn't that good. Even through the rose-colored glasses of the Federal Reserve Board the economy is expected to grow at at only 1.8 to 2 percent this year, barely enough to sustain those much-touted jobs number that haven't quite kept up the arrival of new legal and illegal immigrants, another issue proving problematic for both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, and on those rare occasions when people talk about the economy nobody seems to singing that happy days are here again. Whatever the economic numbers might be deep inside the business section around the next election day, we expect the Democratic nominee will be griping about the inequality of it all, which will resonate with a large resentful population of the country, and the Republican nominee will be talking about tax-cutting and de-regulating and unleashing the potential of the economy, which will resonate with the more hopeful portion of the electorate, nd the electoral numbers will decide the matter.
Until then, we're as confused as anybody else. Zero percent interest rates don't seem to provide any incentive for making the loans that could fuel an economic boom, and it isn't any good for those poor old folks counting on interest-bearing retirement plans, but anything higher is likely to scare away investors in such uncertain and debt-laden and over-regulated times such as these, and that free-trade deal with a crucial foreign might or might not be a good idea, as only those with a top-secret security clearance would know, so we'll anxiously await whatever happens. In the meantime we note that The Kansas City Royals are back on top of the American League's Central Division and that The New York Yankees are within striking distance of the lead in the Eastern, and we've had a certain sympathy for The Golden State Warriors ever since they won their last title 40 years ago with that arrogant white boy Rick Barry as the star, so we'll hope for the best.

The 'Dark Side' of ESG
Responsible investing based solely on avoiding certain stocks is a "narrow-minded way of looking at the world," suggests Man Group's CIO for ESG.
By Christine Idzelis
Illustration by II
Investors should explore the "dark side" of responsible investing, going beyond the common tactic of simply avoiding stocks for environmental, social or governance reasons, according to Man Group.
"Why not short them?" asked Rob Furdak, Man Group's chief investment officer for ESG, in a phone interview. "You get more exposure to things that matter to your set of values."
Exclusionary screening of companies — the most prevalent way investors express their ESG views — may be costing them returns, according to research done by Man. But long-short strategies may pay off. Long bets on companies with, say, strong board diversity may help increase gains, he suggested, while shorting companies lacking diverse leadership may provide even more return.
Shorting stocks as an ESG strategy is not common, partly because some asset owners have policies prohibiting betting against companies, according to Furdak. He said some institutional investors worry about having any ties to stocks they wish to avoid — even if it's a wager against the shares of coal, tobacco, or nuclear weapons companies they may be excluding from their portfolios.
"In the U.S., there's a little bit more flexibility, a little bit more openness to shorting the bad companies," Furdak said. While some asset owners are willing to "embrace the dark side of ESG," he said others are more aligned with the typical European investor's opposition to short selling "undesirable" companies.
[II Deep Dive: UBS Hires Ex-Point72 Money Manager as CIO of New Hedge Fund Strategy]
Responsible investing done solely through restriction lists is "a very narrow-minded way of looking at the world," according to Furdak. Man research has found that restricted stock portfolios, with the exception of coal, have beaten the MSCI World Index over the past twenty years. And while the return gap has been narrowing over the past five years, he said the data suggest such exclusion strategies probably have hurt the investment performance of asset allocators.
Digging deeper, Man found varying performance themes for excluded stocks since 2000.
For example, tobacco stocks have seen a particularly "dramatic regime shift" over the past couple decades, according to a new paper Furdak co-authored on the research. They began with "massive outperformance in the first dozen years," and then, "after treading water," have significantly lagged the index over the past three years, the paper said. Nuclear companies, meanwhile, have continued to post strong performance versus the benchmark.
By shorting the worst offenders of ESG values, Furdak sees opportunity for positive change along with stronger returns. Investors don't have to be a large shareholder of a company to capture its attention.
"Most management cares about the short-selling community because they know that short-sellers can have negative influence," he said. "You still have management's ear because they want to do what they can to have a positive perception of the company in the marketplace."

Egyptian ecommerce logistics startup Bosta raises $6.7 million Series A, plans expansion to Saudi
By Zubair Naeem Paracha
Posted on May 17, 2021 - Like & Follow Us Follow @MENAbytes
Cairo-based ecommerce logistics startup Bosta has raised $6.7 million in a Series A round led by Amman-based global VC Silicon Badia. The round also included the participation of 4DX Ventures, Plug and Play Ventures, Wealthwell VC, Khwarizmi Ventures, and a few other investors. The startup has told MENAbytes that it takes their total investment to date to $9.1 million.
In February last year, Bosta had announced a seven-figure (USD) Series A from European parcel delivery company DPDgorup and Fawry but it has confirmed to us that the $6.7 million it has announced today is in fresh funds and does not include any amount from the previously announced Series A.
Launched in 2017, the Egyptian startup offers last-mile delivery services to online businesses in Egypt. Its services are used by over 3,000 businesses to deliver products all around Egypt. Bosta in a statement said that its guaranteed next-day delivery service covers the entire country. With a success rate of 95 percent, it is currently delivering 300,000 parcels every month on average, the startup told MENAbytes.
Mohammed Ezzat, the founder and CEO of Bosta, in a conversation with us, revealed that they're planning to expand to Saudi by the end of this year. It may also expand to more markets in GCC afterward. Khwarizmi Ventures, one of the investors that participated in this financing round, is the venture arm of Kadi Group that owns and runs different logistics businesses in Saudi including Zajil. They would apparently help Bosta with their expansion to Saudi.
In addition to expanding to Saudi, Bosta will spend the latest funds to grow its business in Egypt. It aims to deliver over 15 million parcels in the country in the next two years.
In a statement, Ezzat added, "Solving the last mile delivery problem for ecommerce companies is very crucial for the ecommerce business to grow in Egypt and the Middle East. As a company, we are committed to helping the ecommerce sector grow by providing them with speedy delivery, quality, and exceptional service—all while making sure our prices are one of the most competitive to help them with their tight unit economics and help them grow a profitable business. At Bosta, with our customer-driven approach and finding tech-driven solutions, we make sure that we are able to hit the three pillars while keeping our costs as low as possible."

AMSTERDAM — A Dutch activist for Palestinian rights who is married to a senior member of the PLO was nominated to the second-most powerful Cabinet post in the Dutch Foreign Ministry.
Sigrid Kaag's nomination as minister for international aid will be formalized in the coming days following the signing of a coalition deal between the ruling People's Party for Freedom and Democracy and three other partners, including her left-wing D66 party, the NOS public broadcaster reported Friday.
The wife of Anis al-Qaq, a deputy minister under Yasser Arafat in the 1990s and a Palestinian Authority ambassador to Switzerland, Kaag has worked for UNRWA, the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians.
As minister for aid, Kaag will not be directly responsible for the foreign relations of her country, which is one of Israel's strongest allies within the European Union. But she will be responsible for implementing aid projects in the West Bank — including ones considered illegal by Israel and that have led to friction between the Jewish state and the Netherlands.
In an interview from 1996, Kaag said that Benjamin Netanyahu, who was that year elected prime minister for the first time, does not represent peace-seeking Israelis.
"They are absolutely not represented by Netanyahu," Kaag said of that group of Israelis.
After the interviewer reminded her that Netanyahu was democratically elected, she said, "Yeah, well, by a very small margin and only because of special elections rules." Netanyahu won the 1996 vote by 1 percent over Shimon Peres.
Kaag in the interview called settlers "illegal colonists on confiscated land." She also said that settler called her "whore of the Arabs." She also said in that interview that her father-in-law was in 1995 stabbed on the Jerusalem promenade by a Jew wearing an Arab kaffiyeh – a claim that was later contested by critics who said Israeli police records show no record of such an incident that year.
"Netanyahu's way is of soundbites with racist, demagogic overtones about the Palestinian peace partner, his Arab peace partners, who are being sidelined," added Kaag.
In 2015, Zijlstra wrote an op-ed for the NRC Handelsblad daily in which he criticized the U.S.-led international nuclear deal with Iran as "a historical error," a view that echoed Israel's.
The deal, in which Iran got relief from international sanctions in exchange for agreeing to scale back its nuclear program for 10 years, "strengthens the anti-Western regime in Tehran, creates instability in the Middle East and gives Iran the slack necessary to develop a nuclear bomb," Zijlstra wrote.
The European Union, where the Netherlands is a founding member, supports the deal, which President Donald Trump said last week that he would not certify.


Roughly 62 million Americans receive Social Security benefits. This number includes retirees, disabled workers, and dependents along with survivors of deceased workers. It's estimated that 97% of the senior population receive or will receive Social Security retirement benefits. While such benefits are often modest when compared to how much money you'll need for retirement, these benefits can be an essential part of your financial plan.
Unfortunately, understanding the limitations of these benefits can be confusing, so we've pulled together the most frequently asked questions on the subject. Knowing the answers can help you better prepare for a comfortable retirement by ensuring you receive the maximum allowable benefits.
Q. How soon can I apply for retirement benefits?
A. You can apply online for your retirement benefits if you are at least 61 years and nine months old, however the earliest you can receive benefits is age 62. Applications are also accepted in person at your local Social Security Administration office or by calling 1-800-772-1213.
Q. How much money should I expect monthly from Social Security retirement benefits?
A. While the amount changes monthly and will depend on a variety of factors, the average estimated monthly amount is approximately $1400. Your Social Security benefits check does have limitations based upon your retirement age.
To receive a personalized estimate of your future Social Security retirement benefits, create a mySocialSecurity account. Estimates assume you will request benefits beginning at age 62. The Social Security Administration's official benefits calculator can help you determine how an early or late retirement directly impacts your benefit amount.
Q. What is Full Retirement Age?
A. Full Retirement Age is the age at which you are expected to begin collecting Social Security retirement benefits. Many people think that the Full Retirement Age is 65. It was 65 for many years, but it has increased and is now based on the year you were born. Use the Retirement Age Calculator to determine your full retirement age. If you elect to start benefits beginning at age 62, your benefits will be reduced (by as much as 30%) since you are accessing them early. If you wait until age 70, you may be eligible for an increased benefit amount.
Q. How are my benefits calculated?
A. The Social Security Administration averages your actual earnings for the 35 years in which you earned the most money and applies a formula to determine your basic benefit amount at Full Retirement Age.
Q. What determines the amount of my monthly benefit?
For a detailed explanation of how retirement benefits are calculated, the Social Security Administration publishes an annual statistical supplement.
Q. Can I collect Social Security at 62 and still work?
A. Yes. Your benefits will be recalculated based on your Full Retirement Age. Social Security retirement benefits may increase if you continue to work past age 62 since you'll still pay Social Security taxes on your wages.
Deciding on the best time to access your Social Security retirement benefits can be tricky. Americans must look at their complete financial situation to include retirement savings, investment accounts, physical health, as well as other household members receiving or expecting to receive benefits. Retirement calculators can assist in necessary planning, but a Financial Advisor at Hughes can provide personalized assistance with retirement planning. Contact Hughes today to learn more.

Elena Delle Donne's New Nike Shoes Are Incredibly Fresh
Elena Delle Donne Official Staff
Courtesy of Stack:
Elena Delle Donne has taken over the WNBA.
Though the Chicago Sky were recently eliminated from the 2016 WNBA playoffs, Delle Donne had a fantastic campaign. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward averaged 21.5 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
She's just 27 years old, but Delle Donne's accolades are piling up fast. She's a three-time WNBA All-Star. She was the 2013 WNBA Rookie of the Year. She's made the All-WNBA First Team twice. She won the league's MVP award in 2015. She recently won her first Olympic gold medal at the Rio Olympics. Now, Nike is honoring Delle Donne with her own special edition shoe.
The Delle Donne Hyperdunk 2016 is a player exclusive colorway of this year's Hyperdunk silhouette. The shoe features technology such as Flyknit and a dynamic Zoom Air cushioning system. Delle Donne's model features a white and Hyper Jade color scheme in a personalized pattern than includes outlines of Delaware (her home state) and phrases such as "Path Less Traveled" and "No Excuses." The inside sole of the shoe also features a replica of a tattoo Delle Donne has that's dedicated to her sister Lizzie.
The shoes aren't yet available for retail, but they're expected to drop some time before the end of the year.
Get a closer look at these incredibly fresh kicks below:

These foodie experiences are a must if you find yourself in this vibrant Asian city.
Hong Kong is full of surprises. So much more than the bustling, neon-lit streets that the city is associated with – more than 40 per cent of the city's land is made up of parklands – it is a complete sensory delight, with sights, sounds, smells that are uniquely its own. Chinese traditions collide with British influences in this colourful, pulsating city, and nowhere else is this more evident than in its culinary offerings. From Michelin-star rated hole in the wall restaurants, to the ultimate in European sophistication, and home restaurants (where home cooks open up their kitchens for small groups of people to sample authentic food), the gastronomic landscape here is varied, to say the least. Whether you're in Hong Kong for a week or are passing through on a short stopover, here is our pick of what to tick off your list.
If you want to try authentic, traditional Cantonese in an elegant setting, look no further than the Michelin starred T'ang Court restaurant, at the Langham hotel. With its lavish décor – think silk drapes and contemporary art on display – you are guaranteed a dining experience as opulent as the renowned ruling dynasty the restaurant is named after. Expert chef Siu Hin Chui is at the helm of the kitchens, which serves up a vast menu (it is 12 pages long!) featuring delicacies like Stewed fresh abalone with Beche-de-Mer and black mushrooms and Cambodia noodles with shredded duck, black mushrooms and preserved vegetables in soup, utilising only the freshest produce and time-tested cooking techniques. You will find plenty of delicious options that you are familiar with, but if you're adventurously inclined, then you won't be disappointed with everything from snake soup to fried pig's ear on offer! In spite of the refined status of the restaurant, you will get good food served in a fuss-free manner – with sharing encouraged – guaranteeing an authentic experience. Visit www.hongkong.langhamhotels.com for more.
Street food is probably the best way to explore any Asian city's culinary offerings, and Hong Kong is no exception. While you're sure to get the tempting aromas of stir fries and dim sum wafting through most streets of Kowloon and Central, make your way to SoHo, the nightlife hub of the city, for an unforgettable night of food and drink. Start with an authentic home-style meal at the Zhong Guo Song Chinese restaurant (6, Wo On Lane, Central. Tel: 28104040) – a tiny outlet with three tables cramped in at best, where you won't mind bumping against your neighbour each time you turn, because the food is just to die for. Whether it's a simple broccoli stir fry, or an assortment of dim sum, the simple, hearty, fresh flavours will keep you coming back for more. The super-affordable prices will leave you enough to splash out on a bar-hopping spree across SoHo's numerous bars – from Irish pubs to edgy lounges with live bands – which spill out on the narrow streets that cling on to the hillside (the best way to get here is via the Mid Levels escalator, once renowned as the world's longest) with crumbling commercial and residential buildings precariously teetering at its edges. Popular with western expats and tourists alike, SoHo offers a fun, unpretentious experience that you shouldn't miss.
An excellent example of the influence the British have had on the Hong Kong culture is the popularity of afternoon teas. Many leading hotels offer their versions of it, but the Peninsula Afternoon Tea is something of an institution in the city. You will find queues stretching across the lobby of this prestigious hotel every afternoon, so booking ahead is necessary. With the plush yet understated ambience instantly transporting you back to another era, the ritual of afternoon tea, served by white-gloved waiters naturally, includes choices of different teas and an array of sandwiches, cakes and pastries on a three-tier tray and fine silverware. A real holiday indulgence!
Where to stay: The Langham, Hong Kong is a luxe, urban oasis in the heart of Kowloon, that offers a tranquil sanctuary in a central location, just minutes from the Victoria Harbour, with easy access to the ferry terminal. The landmark hotel, part of the Langham group which opened Europe's first grand hotel in 1865, exudes opulent sophistication with exquisite design and attention to detail in every space, from the inviting lobby to the ultra-luxurious rooms – which come kitted out with all conceivable mod cons. A suite booking also includes access to the Langham Club, a gorgeous haven of relaxation where you can breakfast in privacy, catch up on emails, or grab a cocktail for sundowners, in a designer setting surrounded by artisan furniture and carefully curated artworks. Room rates start from HKD3,650 (approx. Dhs1,730), visit www.hongkong.langhamhotels.com.
and Abu Dhabi to Hong Kong. Book in for a business class flight (which is surprisingly affordable, with prices starting from around Dhs7,500), to enjoy flat bed seats and personalised service. Visit www.cathaypacific.com.

Q: The relationship between Lorentz Lie algebra and curvature Here I transfered the question from the comment  The relationship between spin and spinor curvature
How $\mathcal{R}_{ab} = \frac{1}{4}R_{abst}\gamma^s \gamma^t$ is from $\Psi \mapsto \Psi + \frac{1}{4} \epsilon_{\mu\nu}\gamma^\mu\gamma^\nu \Psi$ arise?
When $\mathcal{R}_{ab}$ is defined by
$\newcommand{\Rcal}{\mathcal{R}} \Rcal_{ab} \Psi = [D_a, D_b] \Psi$
and $R_{abst}$ is Riemann tensor constructed by metric.
$D_a$ is the covariant derivative in the Dirac equation in the curved spacetime
Dirac Equation in General Relativity

A: Let me try to explain a vox populi secret.
If you have a two sphere, $S^2$, and define a vector on a point $p$ (you can imagine a vector as an arrow), the vector does not lie on the sphere!. In fact the set of all possible vectors at that point generate (or live) in a flat and tangent space to the sphere at $p$, denoted as $T_p S^2$.
First note: On $T_p S^2$ you can define an Euclidean action. If your manifold is not $S^2$ but a spacetime, you can define a Lorentz action on the tangent space. This action of the Euclidean (Lorentzian) group is local, because is defined for each point $p\in\mathcal{M}$.
When people uses the parallel transport, the vector moves from a tangent space to another, these motion is achieved by defining a relation (or connection) among the tangent spaces... if you want this relation tells you how the tangent spaces are glued together.
Second note: The connection tells you how to move from a tangent space to another, and relates all of the Euclidean (Lorentzian) actions on them.
The curvature measures whether or not it is possible to define a global Euclidean (Lorentzian) structure on your manifold. If there is no curvature then you can!... if the curvature does not vanishes, you are out of luck. So, somehow the curvature tells you if the local structure of your manifold can be "extended" to be global.
Third note: Curvature is related with your local Euclidean or Lorentzian structure.

Now, some fun!!! (I'll restrict to Lorentz... got tired of writing Euclidean -Lorentz- )
The Lorentz group is defined by a set of generators. It is possible to find inequivalent sets of generators (this is related with the different representations of a -Lie- group).
A particular set of generators of the Lorentz group is given by the commutator of gamma matrices $$\mathbb{J}^{ab} \simeq \left[\gamma^a,\gamma^b\right].$$
You can show explicitly that those $\mathbb{J}$'s satisfy the algebra of Lorentz.
Finally, as in any local (or gauge) theory, one defines a covariant derivative
$$\mathcal{D}_\mu = \partial_\mu + \Omega_\mu,$$with $\Omega = \frac{1}{2}(\omega_\mu)_{ab}\mathbb{J}^{ab}$.
Calculating the commutator you'll get the desired result!!!
That is the relation between the curvature and Lorentz group ;-)

IPOB's Ban: FG Writes To US, UK
The Federal Government has formally notified the governments of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other foreign countries about the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The Federal Government is ensuring that no other country associates with the proscribed secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra.
The government has formally notified the governments of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other foreign countries about the proscription of the group, and the designation of the group as a terrorist organisation.
The Federal High Court in Abuja had, on August 20, made an order proscribing the group upon an ex parte application by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
The proscription order was published in the Federal Government's gazette on the same day it was issued.
The US and the UK had indicated that they did not consider IPOB a terrorist group.
Malami, however, confirmed on Wednesday that the foreign governments had been duly notified of the proscription of the group.
The minister also said that following the formal notification, the Federal Government would be seeking a Mutual Legal Assistance from the foreign governments to cut off the funding of the group and deal with it and its members as terrorists.
It was learnt that the letters, with copies of the Federal Government's gazette, publishing the order of Justice Abdu Kafarati of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which proscribed IPOB, were served on a majority of the foreign missions in Abuja on September 27.

Are male politicians that weak?
Are male politicians that weak? Mar 26, 2014 7:31:51 GMT
Post by Snappersforum on Mar 26, 2014 7:31:51 GMT
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/why-are-women-not-allowed-to-serve-lunch-at-the-nuclear-security-summit-in-the-hague-9213150.html
The Nuclear Security Summit is in its second day in The Hague and has brought leaders from 53 countries together to discuss ways of combating nuclear terrorism. The catering company responsible for feeding the leaders and delegates has made a controversial staffing decision: No female serving staff are working in the plenary room where the main talks are being held. Instead, only men over 25 have been given the privilege of serving the working lunches at the World Forum. The decision has sparked outrage on social media in The Netherlands, but why was it made in the first place?
According to Dutch national newspaper the Algemeen Dagblad, the director of the catering company, Hans van der Linde, was looking to create a "uniform" look amongst his staff. They quote him justifying his decision in the following manner: "If 20 gentlemen are serving and three platinum blonde ladies, then that spoils the image.
"The personnel needs to act in as reserved a manner as possible, and you can't achieve that by adding a couple of pretty, conspicuous ladies to the mix," he added.
The summit's spokesperson Daphne Kerremans confirmed that the request was made for the serving staff to appear uniform. It was left up to the caterer to decide whether to staff the plenary events with either all men, or all women.

Help guys, I got a new S5 and have been using it for about a week. Started off great, battery life lasted me 2 days with plenty of usage, browsing, youtube, etc.
Then I decided to rinse the phone off with warm water under the facet. Strange things happened. First of all the case got warm. I dried the phone off with a towel, and opened the case cover. The battery was hissing, so I immediately removed it, dried everything really well, and tried to reboot. It took several tries to power up but finally did.
Now the heart rate monitor no longer functions. Telling it to measure heart rate no longer lights up the red sensor. I noticed this sensor is not sealed off by the case and assumed it should have been waterproof in the first place?!
Second of all, my battery life is now terrible. Full charge in the morning, put it in my pocket with no sim card in the phone, airplane mode. By noon it drained itself to 60% with the screen off the entire time. By evening it was fully drained. I would estimate only about 20-30 mins usage total, the rest of the time the screen was off!!
Opening the battery monitor also shows weirdness. No apps are shown as draining the battery. Doesn't make any sense to me at all?
If it's new, as in store new, try returning it. That would be the simplest answer.
If not store bought but under warranty, try contacting Samsung for warranty service. Nota bene, when I sent my phone to the Samsung depot it was gone for three weeks.
If neither of these is an option, try a new battery. And track your battery stats in more detail. If you tap on the battery graph you'll get a breakdown, screen on time, wake time, GPS, etc. Likewise tapping each item under the graph in main battery menu gives you additional details.
And just a general note for others, the phone is water resistant (provided the casing is securely seated, the charge port is sealed, its not damaged etc.). Even so, your best option to clean your phone is with a microfiber cloth. If you have gunk on it, wet a towel with warm water, wring it out, and wipe just the gunky areas.
Then I decided to rinse the phone off with warm water under the facet.
What would posses you to do that?, Did it really seem like a good idea?
well when you buy a waterproof phone, yes it does.
Water resistant . . . the handset is water resistant provided it isn't damaged and everything is sealed securely . . .
it was not damaged and everything was sealed securely. The battery compartment was dry so I have no idea why it was fizzling. If I bought a watch water resistant to 1m would it be a bad idea to wash my hands in the sink with it on?
everything was snapped in securely, I made dam sure of that since the phone was brand new. It's just a ****ty design. Why did samsung make it so the cover only seals the inner compartment? You get a ring of water trapped around the outer edges of the case that can't dry and starts to grow funk.
How do I stream from my Note 5 to smart tv without wifi?
How can I fix my modem?
I have a Galaxy Samsung Tablet that won't rotate my Kindle books. It rotates on everything else. What can I do?
On my Xolo device some apps install without notice they open after install itself?


How did I end up in Otaru? I had never heard of the city before moving to Japan. And living so far from Hokkaido it's likely that I would have never heard of it were it not for a kind Russian gentleman who passed through my town.
Our conversation lead us to the topic of Hokkaido, how I was planning a trip to Sapporo and Wakkanai. He had traveled all over Hokkaido, he said, and in his opinion, Otaru was the most beautiful city on the island.
That comment was enough to persuade me to take the 40 minute train ride from Sapporo Station to this port city. On that day Otaru's idyllic canal were illuminated by a bright sun and the cobblestone streets were crowded with tourists from the Golden Week holidays.
We spent our time casually wandering around the allies of tiny shops, eating local treat, and sipping coffee in a quiet café. The perfect day trip.
