No one knows exactly how bad West Africa's Ebola epidemic is

According to official estimates, there are more than 8,000 people in West Africa who have Ebola. But the real number is likely much, much higher.
"Under-reporting" has been a constant feature of the world's worst Ebola outbreak. Cases have gone missing, deaths are uncounted, and "there is widespread under-reporting of new cases," warns the World Health Organization.
The WHO has continually said that even its current dire numbers don't reflect the full reality. The estimated 8,000 Ebola cases in West Africa could just be the tip of the iceberg. Here's a breakdown of why so many cases go under-reported.
Why so many Ebola cases go under-reported

To understand how an Ebola case could be missed, you need to understand what it takes to actually find and count a case, a sequence of events that need to unfold perfectly to add a disease or death to national and international tallies.
Lina Moses, a Tulane University epidemiologist who has been working with Sierra Leone's Ministry of Health on the surveillance effort, describes the process as "complicated" and "challenging."
In the country, potential cases are communicated through dedicated hot-lines, which citizens can call in to report on themselves or their neighbors. Health workers or doctors can call in cases, too. These reports are forwarded to surveillance response teams in the country's relevant districts, like US states.
But all these cases need to be followed up on and verified to be counted. To do that, a team of two to four investigators is dispatched to hunt for the suspected Ebola victim.

Tracking down Ebola cases is difficult in places where the roads and communication infrastructure are poor.
Actually tracking these people down isn't straightforward, especially in areas where the roads and communication infrastructure are poor. "It's a wild goose chase," says Moses. "You go to a neighborhood, and start asking around, 'Have you heard of the person who is sick?' The investigators can spend all day chasing one rumor."
These health teams work under constant stress and uncertainty. During this outbreak, they've faced violence, angry crowds, and blockaded roads. They can't wear protective gear because they'll frighten locals. They do their jobs while maintaining a distance from the people they're trying to get information from and staying outside of potentially contaminated houses.
When they finally locate an Ebola victim, he or she may not always be lucid enough to talk or even still alive. So the investigators need to interview friends, family or community members to determine whether it's Ebola that struck.
If this chase appears to have led to an Ebola patient, the health team notifies a dispatcher to have that person transported by ambulance to a nearby clinic or Ebola treatment center for testing and isolation.
If the person is already dead, they notify a burial team, which arrives in full personal protective gear. They put the body in a body bag, decontaminate the house, swab the corpse for Ebola testing, and transport the body to the morgue.

But confirming the cause of death doesn't always happen. There have been reports that mass graves hold uncounted Ebola cases. "[Counting] deaths depend on the Ebola treatment center being able to link up to lab and surveillance teams to accurately report the death to the ministry," says Moses. With limited resources, this is not a priority. "Saving people is their priority."
Reported cases are then communicated to the ministry of health in the country. These reports are combined with counts from NGOs and other aid organizations working in the region. The numbers come in three forms: lab-test confirmed cases, suspected cases, and probable cases. The WHO classifies a suspected case as an illness in any person, dead or alive, who had Ebola-like symptoms. A probable case is any person who had symptoms and contact with a confirmed or probable case.
The ministry of health compiles and crunches this information and sends it to the WHO country office. They then report that to the WHO's regional Africa office in Brazzaville, Congo and that message is passed along to Geneva, home to WHO's headquarters.
"At each step along the way the case can fall out of the pool of 'counteds.'"
To get to this point, Dr. David Fisman, an infectious disease modeler working on Ebola, summed up: "A person needs to have recognized symptoms, seek care, be correctly diagnosed, get lab testing — if they're going to be a confirmed case — have the clerical and bureaucratic apparatus actually transmit that information to the people doing surveillance. At each step along the way the case can fall out of the pool of 'counteds.'"
Many Ebola cases are still in hiding
The cultural and socioeconomic setting have an impact on case counts. So do basic emotions. The chain of events for reporting cases has been interrupted by the fact that some Ebola victims go underground for fear of being taken away from their families.
"Communities are so afraid, so distrustful about what's going on." Imagine being the mother of a son who you think might have Ebola. You know your child might die, and you know that if you call authorities, he will most certainly die alone, far away from you, in an isolation ward where you can't console him. Do you call that hot-line? "Communities are so afraid, so distrustful about what's going on," says Moses. "It's hell. It's devastating to the social fabric in communities, in towns and villages."
This is compounded by denial about the disease. Though denial is less prevalent now, more than six months into the epidemic, for a period at the beginning — when Ebola emerged for the first time ever in West Africa — people just didn't believe it was real.
"People thought the government was making it up, that it's an excuse for the government to get money for all these different agencies," says Moses, "or it's a political plot to try to murder people in the east because people in the east belong to the opposition party."
Poverty makes tracking Ebola much more challenging

Poverty in West Africa makes every step of the reporting process more challenging. If sick people in rural and remote areas of the Ebola-affected countries don't have the resources or wherewithal to make it to the hospital, or the phones to call Ebola hot-lines, their cases will never be counted.
Beyond individual barriers, there are poverty-related systemic barriers. To say these countries are under-resourced is putting it mildly, and their health systems have been overwhelmed by the disease. WHO spokesperson Dan Epstein says, "There's not enough health workers in the three affected countries to be able to compile the reports, forward the reports, investigate the reports."
On average, Sierra Leone spends $96 per person on health care per year. Guinea spends just $32 and Liberia spends $65. West Africa is home to some of the poorest countries on the planet. On average, Sierra Leone spends $96 per person on health care per year. (Guinea spends just $32 and Liberia spends $65.) Canada, meanwhile, invests $5,741 and the United States, $8,895.
In Sierra Leone, each district only has two surveillance officers. "Imagine entire states in the US only having two people whose job it is to followup on diseases," says Moses. "I haven't met a surveillance officer who isn't outstanding. But there are two of them, and when Ebola exploded in Sierra Leone, how can two people handle a disease they have never seen before?"
Even in the resource-rich US, finding Ebola has proved to be challenging. Consider the recent case of Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national who flew to Dallas, days after helping care for a dying Ebola patient. When he showed up in a Dallas hospital — with a fever and a travel history that should have raised red flags — he was turned away on his first visit, sent back into the community already contagious and potentially spreading the disease to others.
In some ways, his case is an odd parallel to that of the dying Ebola patient he brought to a Liberian hospital days before his journey to America. She, too, was turned away from the hospital. Like Duncan, she went back into the community, already infectious and shedding the virus, potentially passing it to Duncan and others.
There are 8,000 Ebola cases. The real number is higher
We can only hope that America's botched attempt to identify its first Ebola case puts other surveillance systems and hospitals in the US — and all over the world — on alert for the disease. But the reality is that identifying and counting cases will be difficult everywhere, especially with the onset of flu season.
For now, experts say we have only hit the tip of the iceberg in West Africa. There's no way to know how vastly under-reported this epidemic is, but there are estimates being floated around. Comparing surveillance figures with actual hospital beds dedicated to Ebola care in West Africa, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that under-reporting could be happening at a rate of 2.5. This means that every one case reported equals 2.5 on the ground.
If true, today's 8,000 Ebola cases could actually be 20,000. Not knowing where Ebola is lurking, and to what extent, has knock-on effects. Because of the lack of reporting in Sierra Leone, the disease caught surveillance teams and epidemiologists like Moses off-guard. "Ebola just exploded rapidly." By the end of May, there were nearly 60 cases in Sierra Leone. By the end of June, there were nearly 100. By the time she returned to the US, in September, there were more than 2,000 cases there.
"We were not prepared for the scale, the speed, the complete devastation that this disease caused. No one was." The country has resorted to unprecedented measures like controversial nation-wide, multi-day, lock-downs to stop the spread of the disease and find hidden cases. "If we were prepared, we wouldn't have these numbers we have now," added Moses. "It wouldn't be out of control."

There's No Trump Administration Crony Too Evil For DC's Lobbying Swamp
Libby Watson
As the horrors of the Trump administration's policy of child separation at the border were becoming fully apparent, Howard Dean, the former presidential candidate and, more recently, absolutely-not-a-lobbyist for the healthcare industry, tweeted a somewhat optimistic sentiment: that for their roles in enacting such a vile policy, Trump officials would never work in This Town again.
This raises an interesting question. With as much animosity as the administration's family separation policy has stirred up, has DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen unwittingly deprived herself of the chance to make the big bucks once she leaves?
Washington's so-called "revolving door," where former elected and appointed officials leave office and cash in working for the industries they used to regulate, has been revolving ever faster. (It spins in both directions, too.) So how toxic is too toxic for even a lobbying shop to hire? I don't necessarily want to pick on Howard Dean here—it's a reasonable question to ask after such a prolonged and high-profile battle over a clearly revolting policy—although we still should because he's a massive hypocrite who has done all kinds of awful things for variously evil interests. In fact, Dean's resume illustrates just how Nielsen might end up filling her days and her bank account once she inevitably leaves the White House.
Dean occupies a space known as "shadow lobbying," which describes lobbying done outside the regulatory framework that requires lobbyists to register and report their activities. One of the most famous poster boys of this practice was Tom Daschle, who lost his Senate seat in 2004 and spent the next 12 years lobbying-but-not-lobbying for the healthcare industry under various euphemistic job titles—"strategic counsel," for example—until he finally registered as a lobbyist in 2016.
As Dean has repeatedly stated, he isn't a registered lobbyist. But it's very easy to avoid those rules, and decisions made by the Obama administration—ostensibly to curb revolving door lobbying—actually only made this worse. For many advocacy professionals in D.C., whether they're ex-administration officials or just regular ol' lobbyists toiling in obscurity, there's little downside to acting outside the reported lobbying system. As the Intercept reported in 2016, despite his repeated denials that he is a lobbyist:
Dentons' director of communications, Bennett Kleinberg, wrote to us to say, "Howard Dean is a senior advisor with Dentons in our Public Policy and Regulation practice. However, he is not a registered lobbyist and does not lobby public officials on behalf of clients of the Firm."
Since joining the lobbying industry, Dean has oddly argued on multiple occasions that he does "not lobby." But he engages in virtually every lobbying activity imaginable, helping corporate interests reach out to lawmakers on legislation, advising them on political strategy, and using his credibility as a former liberal lion to build public support on behalf of his lobby firm clients.
Newt Gingrich, who was widely criticized in 2011 for acting as a lobbyist for various clients without registering, was hired last year by Dentons' lobbying practice, where he works closely with Dean to consult with clients on political strategy. As Legal Times reported, the Dean-Gingrich team is now a selling point for Dentons as the "pair aims to become another Washington-based bipartisan tag team who can act as political soothsayers for whichever corporate clients call upon them."
Even aside from those who do actively lobby but skirt the law in doing so, there's an entire world of lobbying-adjacent activities that are enhanced by the relationships and insider knowledge government officials obtain while in office. Just look at what the DCI Group did in its campaign against Argentina, and the myriad other astroturf efforts that populate D.C.: public relations campaigns, internet ads, promoted tweets, real grassroots efforts, and secretive nonprofits.
Professor James Thurber, a political science professor at American University and a lobbying expert who served on the American Bar Association task force on lobbying reform, has advocated for expanding the definition of lobbying to include the whole spectrum of "advocacy" operations. It's in this gray area where he thinks people like Nielsen will thrive.
"All these people will get jobs."
"All these people will get jobs," he told Splinter, but they "may not get jobs in the standard way"—that is, working as a registered lobbyist at a big-name firm or a big company like Amazon or Uber.
Beyond just Nielsen, Thurber said it's "amazing how people forget about controversy in Washington these days." Even Scott Pruitt, who finally bowed out as EPA chief on Thursday after months of scrutiny over his spending which sparked at least 13 federal investigations, will probably "end up getting a good job," Thurber said: "People will take care of him" because the "industry owes him a lot."
Other professionals in the lobbying industry agreed with his assessment. A lobbyist who runs a bipartisan firm in D.C., who spoke anonymously to allow him to speak freely, told Splinter that while Nielsen might not end up working for a household name corporation, "the influence-adjacent world is much bigger, much less transparent"—and that's "exactly the route I would expect her to take."
Even without being directly hired as a lobbyist or consultant by a big firm, "you can make a pretty nice life" in a less public-facing role, they said. The lobbyist also said there are "a whole host of companies that probably wouldn't hesitate" to hire Nielsen—which would still more than pay the bills.
"[Nielsen] will do just fine in this perverted little world."
Another experienced lobbyist was less circumspect. Pat Griffin, a veteran Democratic lobbyist, said Nieslen would have no trouble getting hired after working for Trump. Griffin said he suspects if Trump disavowed Nielsen in some public way, that could pose problems for her, but if she's able to go quietly, "She'll do just fine in this perverted little world." Relationships, such as with those "on the Hill, in the area she has some expertise," trump all other considerations, he said.
Those relationships are vital, and they're a huge factor—if not the factor—in why ex-administration officials get snapped up once they leave. After all, the field is often euphemistically called "government relations." This was the point another lobbyist at one of the biggest bipartisan firms in Washington emphasized to me: that Nielsen's employability might be "contingent upon how long [John] Kelly is chief of staff," as her close relationship with Kelly "would give people a reason to reach out to her." And even if she might be "a little radioactive" for a while, she won't "necessarily [be] forever."
Money will always flow to whoever can most efficiently maximize returns.
Dunking on Howard Dean and his infinite wisdom aside, this is a reality worth driving home again and again: As much as this White House is Not Normal, so much about it, including many of the dirtiest aspects of it, are perfectly typical in DC. We might like to tell ourselves that after Trump leaves, things will go back to how they were and, by extension, the evil will be gone, like it was all just a bad dream. But repudiating political evil is not what's normal in Washington, and it never was. What's normal is to cultivate the ills that keep our political system oiled with money from special interests and our bills stuffed with giveaways to corporations to get your client the win they're after.
Even if there isn't a single lobbyist in town who thinks the child separation policy is a good idea—and I'd bet almost none of them do—it wouldn't matter; it isn't their job to trade in good ideas or to have opinions about what makes for humane policy. Their job is to get the best outcomes for the entity paying them. Money will always flow to whoever can most efficiently maximize returns.
For some person or company or interest out there, it's very likely that person will be Kirstjen Nielsen, a proven liar who shows no signs of possessing a soul or a wisp of decency in her body. She might very well launch a highly publicized campaign to rehabilitate her image—No, I never really believed it, I tried to stop it, I'm one of the good ones, I was just following orders—or she might try to just keep her head down and sink back into the swamp. Either way, she'll get hers, just as they always have. And they'll keep doing it, until we make it more painful to do so than to be driven out, never to be seen again.

Today with video streaming and social networks, young people are less exposed to classic films. For a millennial, watching an old movie would mean watching Clueless or The Breakfast Club but you have no idea what you're truly missing out on. Before you start proclaiming "I don't like black-and-white films", take a look at this list of movies and at least, pick one to enjoy. And yes, these movies are devoid of colour. (gasps!) Come on now, these films need your attention to be truly appreciated so turn off your phones and turn down the light to enjoy these classics!
Casablanca is an undisputed masterpiece and a quintessential statement on love and romance. With career-defining performances from Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, this is one of the most beloved American movies of all time. It is one of the most magnetic screen pairings in history. A timeless love story wrapped inside a gripping wartime thriller, written with wit and humor is a definite must-watch. If you don't watch any other movies in this list, at least watch this movie. Consider it as a rite of passage.
La Dolce Vita literally translates to "the sweet life". This iconic film shows what it's like to live life to the fullest over half a century before "YOLO" came about. This film was shot way before our time and still, turned out be an oblique reflection of the coming years. The story follows the life of a reporter who writes for a gossip magazine and it documents the unfulfilled life of a writer which directly echos the sheer boredom that today's 21st century millennials face.
Citizen Kane is downright brilliant – from the enchanting performances to the meticulously planned camera movements, all of it makes it a stunning achievement in all areas of filmmaking. The storyline is deceptively simple on the pitfalls of unbridled capitalism and greed in America. It is a reflection on how the American Dream can become dark and twisted.
Audrey Hepburn is probably mostly known for her role in Breakfast At Tiffany's, but she had an impressive career before that. In her most captivating award winning performance, Audrey Hepburn played a princess who wants to live her life to the fullest and it is one of her most endearing characters on screen. This is one of the most charming black and white films ever made.
All About Eve is a feminist film in more than one way. It is not your typical finding the right man kind of flick. It features strong female characters and highlights the sexism faced by actresses in the film industry. Though it was filmed in the 50s, the writing and storyline is more progressive than any of today's modern feminist movies. This movie is eminently worth watching because of its satirical touches in its script and of course, the performance of Bette Davis.

Q: elisp: defmacro with lambda Sorry, I tried few times and I can't build simple defmacro - can anybody help me with that:
So, I want define macro which will expand to:
(define-key keymap "*" (lambda ()
                          (interactive)
                          (some-func "*")))

I tried something like:
(defmacro wrap-and-define-key (keymap key func)
  `(define-key ,keymap ,key (lambda () (interactive) (,func ,key))))

And it works with:
(wrap-and-define-key keymap key func)

but doesn't work with
(wrap-and-define-key keymap key 'func)

How to change defmacro statement to make last form working? Thanks!

A: You don't need a macro for this.
(defun wrap-and-define-key (keymap key func)
  (define-key keymap key (lambda () (interactive) (funcall func key))))

(Don't quote lambda forms. Avoid eval.)
Not sure why you want this, but anyway, this should do what you ask.

A: The reason your macro doesn't work for the second example is 'func is passed as the argument with the quote, since arguments to macros are not evaluated automatically. So the lambda in the macro expands to:
(lambda () (interactive) ('func key))

But you cannot quote a function name when it is invoked in this way. Only a lambda or an unquoted symbol can appear as the first item in a function invocation expression. If you change the macro to this:
(defmacro wrap-and-define-key (keymap key func)
  `(define-key ,keymap ,key (lambda () (interactive) (funcall ,func ,key))))

It will work. When the lambda is invoked, 'func gets evaluated to the plain func symbol and passed to funcall. funcall then looks up the symbol in the function namespace (Elisp is a Lisp-2) and invokes it.
As suggested in another answer, you can accomplish this with a function. This function will work regardless of whether lexical mode is enabled:
(defun wrap-and-define-key (keymap key func)
  (define-key keymap key `(lambda () (interactive) (funcall ',func ,key))))

A: Ok, find something working but not sure - that is elegant solution:
(defmacro wrap-and-define-key (keymap key func)
  `(define-key ,keymap ,key '(lambda () (interactive) (eval (list ,func ,key)))))

Q: Customize material design datatable checkbox I just started using material-ui design with ReactJS. I am struggling to change a checkbox style that is being shown under <TableRow /> component. (Table component)
I've already tried using css to style checkbox. It looks like material-ui has own checkbox logic using div and svg and hiding native checkbox element setting opacity to 0.
Any idea how it can be achieved ?

A: Material UI really does that. The native checkbox element does not accept many properties for styling, so for better looks it uses other elements. What you need to do  to customize a Material UI checkbox is to apply styles for those elements.

A: There is no elegant way to customize the checkbox in a selectable Table. However, you can customize the Checkbox component, as shown in the docs with heart icons and such. So, as a workaround, you could set your Table to be selectable={false}, and add your own custom column that contains customized Checkbox components. You'll then have to maintain your own selected state(s) and Select All functionality, if you need it.

PM suggests Covid-19 burials in dry zone, receives warning virus remains active in bodies for 36 days
PM Mahinda Rajapaksa consults lawmakers and health officials regarding burials (pic courtesy PM's Office)
By Shamindra Ferdinando
Medical authorities had cautioned Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa that transmission of coronavirus from bodies was possible for 36 days, the PM's Office said, yesterday (11).
According to the statement issued by Rohan Weliwita, Media Secretary to the Prime Minister, the medical experts issued the warning at a meeting convened at the Prime Minister's Office in Parliament to explore ways and means of burying Covid-19 victims.
Issuing instructions to relevant authorities to choose a suitable land in consultations with medical authorities in a dry zone with ground water level extremely low, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa requested Muslim lawmakers present to support the current health guidelines.
Prime Minister has emphasized that in matters concerning health decisions couldn't be made on the basis of religious sentiments.
Among those present were Justice Minister Ali Sabry, PC, Health Minister Pavitra Wanniarachchi and Health Secretary retired Maj. Gen. Dr. Sanjeewa Munasinghe.
Except Mohammed Muzammil of the National Freedom Front (NFF) appointed on the SLPP National List, all other Muslim lawmakers are united in their demand for burial of Muslim coronavirus victims.
A senior spokesperson for Samagi Jana Balavegaya told The Island that the Premier's Office invited only government members and those who switched their allegiance to the SLPP government for their personal benefit.
The spokesman alleged that the government was making an attempt to hoodwink the Muslim community. In spite of promises given by various government representatives at different times, the Health Ministry stood firm in its original decision to cremate all regardless of strong objections on religious grounds.
Meanwhile, Police Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said that close to 100,000 people were home quarantined as authorities battled the rampaging corona epidemic. According to attorney-at-law Rohana, 95,825 persons belonging to 35,114 families had been quarantined at their homes with the Gampaha administrative district being the worst affected. DIG Rohana said that there were 14,332 quarantined persons in the Gampaha district.
Warning that tough measures were required to bring the situation under control, DIG Rohana said that those found to have violated quarantine rules and regulations would be severely dealt with. The police spokesman warned the public to follow health guidelines or face the consequences. Courts could sentence violators up to three years RI.
The police headquarters said that nine police areas in Colombo and 25 Grama Seva areas had been isolated pending further investigations and examination of the situation.
SJB lawmaker Mujibur Rahman alleged that the government was playing politics with an extremely sensitive issue. A sensible government would have responded to our passionate pleas for respect and dignity for Muslim victims of covid, he said.
Colombo Covid case count has crossed 13,000
DIG says he was transferred for arresting Shafi

from the crowd. Here are ten of the best lumps based on all round performance and tunability.
Still breaking records and winning events nearly 25 years after its debut, the 2ltr Cosworth engine is highly tuneable. Potentially capable of 250bhp-per-litre with standard internals and standard size turbo, which is unheard of with other engines.
Like the Cosworth YB, this engine was designed for racing and therefore has many standard components capable of huge power levels. 1400bhp and 14,000rpm is said to be capable in fully tuned form.
Generally regarded as the most tuneable four cylinder engine at the moment, the turbocharged Mitsubishi 4G63 engine is capable of incredible power levels and is the worldwide force behind countless supercar killing Evos.
With well over 100bhp-per litre and an almost 9000 rpm rev limit as standard, the F20C engine is one of the best N/A engines you can buy. If you add forced induction the limits are almost endless.
Common to find, cheap to buy, and fantastic to tune, this engine is the mainstay of VW tuning for good reason. The unique five valve per cylinder setup gives great tuning potential and like most VAG products, it is very reliable.
a superbly low centre of gravity too, perfect for track use.
The 338bhp 3.2ltr straight six from the E46 BMW M3 is one of the best production naturally aspirated engines ever made. If you want to keep your tuning naturally aspirated, the S54 is where our money would go.
With just 1308cc this engine is tiny, but in fully tuned form can produce around 1000bhp and a 10,000rpm+ rev limit. Temperamental maybe, but a unique tuning monster.
The engine that made 1000bhp on standard internals a reality, the 2JZ is a six cylinder heavyweight. Any engine that can power a road going Supra to over 240mph within one mile gets our vote.
This big capacity V8 has 1500 bhp potential when forced induction is added, but this all alloy engine is also surprisingly light and is capable of revving to over 7000rpm reliably.

Things we learned from the World Cup of Hockey
Team North America is not as gimmicky as we thought
We all raised an eyebrow when we first heard about this, as if to say, "really?". It turns out that these kids can play with the big boys after all. Much of the tournament talk surrounded North America, and how fast and exciting these U23s can play.
Team Europe finishes 2nd… who saw that coming?
It's nice to see stars from countries (other than the big six) have international representation for a change. Kopitar, Chara, Hossa, among other NHL stars deserve to be seen on an international stage. Not only were they representing team Europe on the front of their jerseys, but they also had their home country's flag stitched onto their sleeves.
Crosby is still the best player in the world
Canada has won 22 games straight when Sidney Crosby's in the lineup. He is a guy who changes the pace of a game and makes opposing professionals look amateur. McDavid, you've got a few years to go before you reach Crosby.
John Tortorella is a dinosaur
After getting fired from NYR, no one saw the day that Torts would get the opportunity to coach in the NHL again… until Vancouver hired him. Then after he was let go from the Canucks, we certainly thought he was done… then Columbus hired him. Then team USA. Is there something that all of us rational hockey fans are missing here? He started his USA coaching tenure with a political statement, saying that he will bench any player that refuses to stand for the American national anthem (in reference to Colin Kaepernick's protest). Oh Torts… even though the game has changed, you have not.
This video is NSFW (2 uses of F-word).
Canada still owns hockey
Pre-tournament goal differential:
Canada +11
North America +3
Russia +3
Sweden +2
Europe +1
Czech Republic -6
USA -6
Finland -8
Things seemed too close for comfort in the final game, though Canada ended up getting the job done. Aside from a couple shaky periods, Canada completely dominated the tournament currently sit atop of the hockey world.

Priced out of flats, now moved on in their vans: Bristol's rent crisis
Hundreds of low-paid workers across Britain are forced to live in vehicles. But they face an uncertain future

Brian Meekle's caravan is parked beside the M32 motorway that cuts through the eastern half of Bristol. Meekle has been living there for the past two months because he doesn't earn enough from the 33-to-45-hour weeks he works at a nearby retail warehouse to pay the rent for a flat.
"The rents in Bristol have rocketed," he says above the roar of lorries and cars. "I am doing agency work but it could dry up on Monday. It's all minimum wage stuff." Meekle's temporary home is in a ramshackle line of 16 caravans and vans. There are at least seven other vehicle encampments in the city, including in wealthy neighbourhoods such as Clifton Down. Bristol city council estimates that around 200 people are sleeping in vehicles across the city.
While some of them enjoy the freedom of life on the road, many are low-paid workers who have been priced out of Bristol, which has in recent years experienced some of the fastest-rising rents and house prices of any city.
Rents in Bristol have gone up by 33% over the past four years, according to the government's Valuation Office Agency. A one-bedroom flat in the city now costs on average £795 a month. "There are a lot of people in this situation that don't want to be," says Meekle. "But it's better to have a roof over your head than be out on the streets."
He will soon be forced to move on to a new road because the council has served all the vans and caravans with eviction notices following complaints of antisocial behaviour.

Meekle's neighbour Tom Burgess, a graffiti artist who also works in home removals, says the van dwellers are the victims of crime, not the perpetrators. "Everyone along here got broken into. It puts you on edge. I wake up in the night when I hear something," he says. A few vans along, Alex Groiss is waiting for his girlfriend, a carer in Clifton. "She is working with children at the moment – it's not well paid," he says. "Even though she has been working in care for three or four years, it's just above minimum wage."
Another van dweller, Nigel, who has been working as a chef in a nearby pub, says he is not earning enough to pay for a flat along with bills and food. "The noise and pollution are horrible. I'd like to be in a flat, but I'm only earning £600 a month."
Bristol is not the only city where people have resorted to living in vans and caravans. Homelessness charities report people living in vehicles across the country. Petra Salva, director of outreach services at St Mungo's, whose teams cover London and the south-west, says it is not unusual for her workers to come across vehicles that people are using as homes.
"People will find ways of coping with the shortage of genuinely affordable homes and using a vehicle is one option," she says. "It ranges from people who would be on the street otherwise to people who are surviving on the fringes of the labour market."
Residents living near the slip-road encampment are divided about their van- and caravan-dwelling neighbours. Jon Newey, the director of the nearby St Werburghs Community Centre, which is opposite the encampment, says he has allowed them to use the toilets and charge their phones but has had to draw the line at people filling water tanks and washing themselves. "As a centre we haven't had any real problems. They are just another part of the community we serve, but we've had to set up limitations," he says.
Beth Friedeberg, a charity worker who is sitting in the centre's cafe, believes living in vehicles is better than being on the streets. "There aren't enough houses and there's not enough work for people," she says.

But Hassan Hamed, a lab technician who is waiting to use the centre's computers, says the van dwellers have made his daughter's walk to school dangerous. "They are blighting the walkway," he says. "I cannot trust my daughter to walk to school safely because they are parking on the pavement."
Concerns like these have led Bristol to become the first council to consult on a specific policy to deal with people living in vehicles. The proposal is to tolerate short-term, low-impact encampments but move on those causing disruption.
In June the council evicted more than 50 vehicles from Greenbank cemetery on the other side of the M32 after a blaze destroyed two caravans and a car. Local residents complained of noise, drugs, rubbish and people using their gardens as toilets.
Paul Smith, Bristol's cabinet member for housing, says officers will only act where there is evidence of serious antisocial behaviour. "Most people living in vehicles are not causing any antisocial behaviour," he says. "It is only a concern when you get late-night noise, people feeling under threat, rubbish and waste being disposed of in the street."
Smith says he would like to be able offer them affordable housing in Bristol: "They are mainly single men and we are looking at building a larger number of one-bedroom properties that are suitable for them."
But this feels a long way off for the young people living beside the M32. They are due to go today. Burgess says: "We've found another road on an industrial estate. That's where most of us are going to go."
Social exclusion


The focus of WG2 is on the lifelong development of the literate mind/brain and how it can be further promoted by education. This WG will crucially rely on the richness arising from the diversity of European languages and in the increasing number of educational practices to which research is adding evidence-based support.
