N.B. COVID-19 roundup: Zones 1, 2 and 3 go red as 31 new cases and another death reported
The Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John regions are being rolled back to the more restrictive red phase as of midnight Tuesday night, and there has been another death in the province. The individual, an 89-year-old resident of Parkland Saint John, is the 13th COVID-19 patient to die since the pandemic began last winter. Dr. Jennifer Russell, the chief medical officer of health, made the announcement at a live-streamed briefing Tuesday afternoon, saying the measures are needed to stave off the "avalanche of cases we are seeing across our borders." Premier Blaine Higgs also addressed the briefing, warning that the province will go to "full lockdown," including closing schools, if cases continue to rise. "We have never been in a situation like this since pandemic began," Higgs said. "I cannot stress enough that this is a critical moment. ... Stay home as much as you possibly can and avoid interacting with people outside your household bubble." Under the red phase, gyms, hairdressers and entertainment centres must close and everyone must stick to a single-household bubble. Dining must be takeout, drive-thru or delivery only, and elective surgeries and non-urgent medical procedures are postponed. New red phase rules for schools have been introduced, including: Students and staff must stay home if they have even one symptom of COVID-19. School staff will be screened for COVID-19 when they report to work each day. If a positive case of COVID-19 is confirmed at a school in the red level, the school will be closed for at least three days to allow for contact tracing. The school would also become a testing site for school staff. 31 new cases reported, affecting six of seven zones Dr. Jennifer Russell,the chief medical officer of health, announced 31 new cases in the province on Tuesday. The cases break down as follows: Moncton region, Zone 1, four cases: two people 40 to 49 an individual 50 to 59 an individual 60 to 69 Saint John region, Zone 2, three cases: two people 19 or under an individual 40 to 49 Fredericton region, Zone 3, one case: an individual 19 or under Edmundston region, Zone 4, 21 cases: an individual 19 or under an individual 20 to 29 two people 30 to 39 three people 40 to 49 seven people 50 to 59 five people 60 to 69 an individual 70 to 79 an individual 80 to 89 Campbellton region, Zone 5, one case: an individual 50 to 59 Bathurst region, Zone 6, one case: an individual 20 to 29 There are now 316 active cases in the province, and 1,953 New Brunswickers are self-isolating. The number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick so far in the pandemic is 1,004 and 674 have recovered. There have been 13 deaths, and one patient is hospitalized. As of Tuesday, 176,034 tests have been conducted, including 1,839 since Monday's report. Warnings about deadly, underestimated threats The daily case count numbers are a visible reminder of the threat of COVID-19 that is "all around us," Premier Blaine Higgs said Tuesday. But unseen threats also lurk, with potentially fatal consequences, he said. Higgs cautioned against "underestimating your ability to infect others" and said that even with the mildest symptoms — or no symptoms at all — you could be a carrier and a transmitter of the disease. He cited the case of an asymptomatic person who came home to isolate with their parents in New Brunswick. That individual unknowingly infected them with COVID-19, Higgs said, "and one of their parents died." The growing threat of the much more contagious U.K. and other variants of the virus should also be on everyone's radar, Higgs said. "We do not yet know if new strains of COVID-19 are in New Brunswick," he said, "but they pose an additional, real threat." Frustrating wait for answers on vaccines Premier Blaine Higgs has questions about the "reliability" of vaccine supply in the wake of Pfizer's delivery wobble, but he said he's not getting answers. In the wake of news from Ottawa on Tuesday that Canada will not get any shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine next week and will see reduced shipments for several weeks after that, Higgs said plans to have the province's health-care workers and care home residents vaccinated by the end of March are still on track. But he wants further assurances — and he's not getting them, he said. "We need consistency, we need to know what the [dosage delivery] numbers are," he said at Tuesday's COVID-19 briefing. "We'll work with the numbers we have, but we need to have assurance that the numbers are correct. This (Pfizer delivery) issue this week gives us some concern in that regard." The status of approvals for some of the five other vaccines Canada has agreed to purchase is also a troubling question mark, Higgs said. "Only two vaccines have been approved by Health Canada and they were approved relatively quickly," he said. "What is the status of at least two others that are in front of Health Canada for approval? What is the timeline? We can't seem to get any answers on that … not only here but across Canada." Health Canada is currently reviewing AstroZeneca's vaccine, which has been approved in the U.K., and a vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceutical arm, Janssen. 3 more schools record cases of COVID-19 École Régionale Saint-Basile in Saint-Basile and Élémentaire Sacré-Coeur in Grand Falls both announced positive cases and said they would close because of them. Both schools are in Zone 4, the Edmundston region, which is in the red phase. Meanwhile in the Anglophone South School District, a Saint John school has announced a positive case. In an email to CBC News district spokesperson Jessica Hanlon confirmed a case at Princess Elizabeth School. "Any staff or student who might have been identified by Public Health as a close contact would have been contacted and informed to self-isolate," said Hanlon. Nine schools in the province have had COVID-19 cases within the past week. In Anglophone South School District, cases have been recorded at Quispamsis Middle School, Belleisle Elementary School in Springfield, Millidgeville North School in Saint John, and Kennebecasis Valley High School in Quispamsis, where there are two cases. Two schools in the Anglophone East School District, Riverview East School and Caledonia Regional High School in Hillsborough, have also announced positive cases. New public exposure warnings issued Public Health has identified a positive case in a traveller who may have been infectious on the following flights: Jan. 3 – Air Canada Flight 8910 from Toronto to Moncton, arrived at 11:23 a.m. Public Health has also issued the following potential COVID-19 exposure warnings: Moncton region: Goodlife Fitness Centre, 175 Ivan Rand Dr. E., on Jan. 13 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Moncton North After Hours Medical Clinic, 1633 Mountain Rd., on Jan. 14 from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Edmundston region: Jean Coutu Kim Levesque-Cote Pharmacy, 276 Broadway Blvd., Grand Falls, on Jan. 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parts for Trucks,21 Powers Rd., Grand Falls, on Jan. 11, 12 and 14 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. What to do if you have a symptom People concerned they might have COVID-19 symptoms can take a self-assessment test online. Public Health says symptoms shown by people with COVID-19 have included: A fever above 38 C. A new cough or worsening chronic cough. Sore throat. Runny nose. Headache. New onset of fatigue, muscle pain, diarrhea, loss of sense of taste or smell. Difficulty breathing. In children, symptoms have also included purple markings on the fingers and toes. People with one of those symptoms should: Stay at home. Call Tele-Care 811 or their doctor. Describe symptoms and travel history. Follow instructions.

Fears about nanotechnology may be overblown, says an Australian expert in toxicology and environmental health.
Monash University's Professor Brian Priestly, director of the Australian Centre for Human Health Risk Assessment, says we need to put fears about the potential health risks of nanoparticles into perspective.
Priestly was among a number of nanotech specialists who spoke about nanotoxicology at the Australian Health and Medical Research Congress in Melbourne this week.
"I'm not saying that we don't have knowledge gaps that we have to fill," he says. "But some of the statements that are being made I think are extreme."
The federal government is expected to release a national strategy on nanotechnology in the coming months and is considering whether an independent regulator should be established to oversee this rapidly advancing field.
Priestly says it's unlikely that members of the general public will be exposed to nanoparticles.
"What we have to ask is what are the chances that we will be exposed to these very fine manufactured nanoparticles, because risk is really a function of toxicity and exposure," he says.
"These things may have slightly higher grades of toxicity than larger particles but a lot depends upon whether we're exposed to them and how we're exposed to them.
"If they get into the air and we inhale them, yeah, they're likely to present the same sorts of risks we have with other types of air pollution of very fine particles."
He also says the majority of nanoparticles will be safe because they're fixed in surface coatings.
Dr Kelly B�ruB�, a lecturer in cell biology at Cardiff University in Wales, has been studying nanosized products of combustion like soot and coal ash as a model for engineered nanoparticles.
She says human have been exposed to these particles for as long as we have been burning things, and it's known they can cause inflammatory responses and cardiac problems.
She says these are the sorts of particles we should be worried about, rather than engineered nanoparticles.
"These are the ones that everybody's exposed to every day. It's highly unlikely that the average person like you or I is going to be exposed to any of these engineered ones," she says.
Nanotechnoloy involves the manipulation of atoms and molecules for uses in medicine, research, computing and the creation of new types of materials and surfaces.
Nanoparticles are already used in a wide range of commercially available products including sun screens, cosmetics, shoe polish, crayons and even tennis racquets.
The federal government says it has been assessing therapeutic products containing nanotechnology components for many years.
"Fumed silicon dioxide nanoparticle aggregates for example, have been use in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals for about half a century and carbon black nanoparticles have been used in rubber products for more than a century," a health department spokesperson says.
Sunblock creams using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles are also being manufactured in Australia.
But Dr Paul Wright, associate professor in immunotoxicology at RMIT University and director of the research network Nanosafe Australia, says rapid recent developments highlight the need for caution.
He says engineered nanoparticles have unique and properties compared to the sort of particles B�ruB� has been looking at.
"These are derivitised, these are functionalised nanoparticles, they can have totally unknown effects on the biological system," he says.
Dr Sam Bruschi is a consultant in medicinal chemistry, who recently finished a review of nanotech safety issues for the Australian Safety and Compensation Council.
He says the little that we do know about the health impact of nanotechnology has raised some red flags.
He says animal studies have found pre-cancerous lesions like fibrosis and granulomas in mice that have had carbon nanotubes aspirated into their lungs.
Tumours associated with titanium nanoparticles, which are used in sunscreen, have been found in research animals, he says. And in the lab, "quantum dots kill cells quite happily".
"There are some smoking guns out there and all we have to do is find the bullets," he says.
Because of their size, nanoparticles can evade the body's normal respiratory and immune defences and once inhaled or absorbed through the skin, potentially finding their way into the nervous and circulatory systems and becoming deposited in organs including the brain.
Much of the concern has also focused on carbon nanotubes, because of fears they are the right size and shape to act like deadly asbestos fibres.
B�ruB� says until we have microscopes powerful to actually track where nanoparticles are going in the environment and in our bodies, and what they actually do there, the jury must remain out about any pending health catastrophe.
"We don't have the technology there to see exactly what these particles are doing, so we can't tell you exactly what the health impacts will be," she says.
"Unregulated use [of nanoparticles] could open society up to the asbestos of the 20th century.
"But we've been living with [combustion-derived nanoparticles since caveman times and we've learned to adapt to it."

Marilyn: Miss Universe visit !
Yesterday the year 7 and 8's had special visitors come to their block. They were the top 20 Miss Universe contests for New Zealand ! But only 16 could make it.
It was so exciting. They came to speak to us about Entrepreneurs and enterprise. They were so inspiring. One of the contestants even started her own Recycling Company to raise money for her charity. She also said that we have dreams that we can just sleep and imagine and there are the dreams that we have were we wake and chase the to become reality. Gabby (One of the contestants) is also a nurse. She has a passion for helping people so she joined to help raise money for charity and also to share her beauty.
After their speech they came to see how we work . Four ladies came to our class. It was Hannah, Monique , Olivia and Sharne. In my group we had me, Khaia, Quinlan , Brandon and Hannah ! She was so amazing !!
She told us about how Miss Universe works and some of the questions they answer. My favorite moment with her was when she told us that if she could be any animal in the world she would be a Kangaroo because she sees her life just as a kangaroo moves because it can only move forward and not move back . We had a great time together. And the next day the will be heading for Manila in the Philippines I hope Hannah wins the Pageant competition !!

Numan Ataker – Rise to the Top of the Fashion World
The world of fashion design is full of creativity. In order for a person to be a fashion designer, it is imperative that they create a blend between form and function. If you look at the highest selling fashion brands in the world right now, you will realize that while there are a few which come up with otherworldly designs, the most popular ones are those who are able to create a balance between style and creativity.
One of the fastest-growing fashion brands in the world right now is John Paul Ataker. It's a well-known Turkish brand that was founded by Numan Ataker. Ataker has been the primary driving force behind the brand and has established it as one of the most popular companies to work for. His rise to the top has been nothing short of eventful, and here are a few things that you should know about his success.
Ataker was born to Sevket and Guli Ataker, in South-Eastern Anatolia. He is the sixth of ten siblings and was only 6 years old when the family moved to Istanbul. The family had decided to migrate for evading ethnic tensions and in the hope for a better livelihood.
Ataker was only 7 years of age when he landed his first employment, working at a ready to wear garment shop. He would attend primary school in the morning and then start working at the garment store. It wasn't long before his skill was acknowledged by the major tailors and the other shop workers. Throughout his childhood, he worked long and hard, focusing on helping his family.
After working at the store, he would then sell chewing gum, bottled water and comic books on Istiklal Street, Istanbul. In 1982, the family managed to make enough money, for his father to open his own garment workshop. Young Numan was made to quit secondary school, instead, he was told to devote all his efforts full time to the business.
By 2010, the business had grown considerably. Making the decision to leverage the potentials of Turkey's textile industry on an international scale, he created John Paul Ataker in 2012, quickly transforming it into a successful global creative brand. The company has been featured in some of the most popular fashion magazines in the world and has grown by leaps and bounds to become one of the leading fashion brands in the world. It's also been endorsed by several popular celebrities and has become a major sensation.

Andy Murray compares Mayweather v Pacquiao to Federer v Nadal
Last Updated: 29/04/15 2:48pm
Boxing fan Andy Murray feels this fight will define both fighters' careers of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather
Andy Murray believes this weekend's fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is similar to Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal's rivalry.
The world No 3, who is playing in an ATP 250 event in Munich this week, also feels neither welterweight boxers can prepare for the pressure on fight night.
And Murray has likened the big fight to on-court tennis tussles between two of his sport's greatest players.
"It would be like Federer and Nadal having never played each other and just having a one-off match to see who the better one would be," he said.
"Both of them have been involved in huge fights before but I think this is different, will probably define both of their careers. It's going to be, I would imagine, very hard for both of them to handle the pressure because I don't think they've either been in a fight of this size before.
"Maybe Mayweather's a little bit more experienced fighting in Vegas but it's going to be tough for both of them and that whoever's mentally stronger I think will have a significant outcome on who wins the fight."
Andy Murray says he's pretty excited about this weekend's fight of the century. He's backing Floyd Mayweather to beat Manny Pacquiao, but only just!

One of my favorite local wetlands, Wakodahatchee Wetlands Preserve, offers an unparalleled opportunity for photographers, bird watchers and the local public to observe the secret life of birds… at least to a certain degree. In the months that I've been visiting the wetlands, I've seen baby birds grow up into adults or near adults. I've heard their squawking complaints when hungry, the flapping of wings, the irritated croaks from adults at their over-active youngsters. I've observed the patient fortitude of parents off diligently seeking food for their feathered families. I have seen the dangers that lurk for unaware youngsters in the presence of silent, patient alligators. I've seen the marsh turn green with the onslaught of the seasonal rains, seemingly turning overnight into a lush green paradise of sparkling waters and bright blooms. It is a privilege to visit this place, which still manages to be somewhat unknown in the midst of a county landscape filled with gated communities, bustling shopping centers and busy thoroughfares.
There is an unusual density of birds who successfully nest in this area, along with many who drift through on their way elsewhere in the midst of annual migrations. The types of birds can vary, but most seen are various species of herons, mud hens, some ducks, egrets, wood storks, Anhinga, osprey, finches and wrens, as well as black vultures who linger overhead flying in lazy circles in the thermals. Other animals live and thrive in this artificial environment that created by man has been fully embraced by animal kind, including marsh rabbits, iguana, other lizards. assorted turtles, fish, squirrels and the occasional alligator. It is wonderful to see how a little kindness and thought by humans is so appreciated and utilized by the very animals whose original environments were greatly disturbed and disrupted by human development and construction in the area. Yet this kind of watery oasis is uncommon, at least outside the ponds and canals that are utilized for storm and water control, serving to drain the naturally marshy landscape of South Florida.
I will say that the warm sub-tropical climate of South Florida is thoroughly enticing especially to Northerners and many wealthy and/or retired individuals have found a full-time or part-time home in these lush surroundings. It is sad that there was not more planning to preserve larger natural settings within the city limits. Still, we deal with what is before us and work within the demands of the climate, the population present and the busy roadways. It is wonderful to spend a few moments or hours in the presence of the simplicity of the life of birds and beasts, a little oasis of the heart found in the midst of a busy coastal community.
I would hope that other individuals who read and view these pages and journal entries will open to the diversity of life forms that can be found upon this small and precious blue-green sphere. Work to preserve what open lands still remain so that your children's children can enjoy and experience what we are able to see today.
P.S. Yesterday when these photos were shot was the fifth anniversary of this blog. Thanks for the continuing support and interest of my readers, new and old.

Q: .net core dependency injection to hosted service My .net core app needs to crawl data in a specified time interval. I have chosen to implement IHostedService to run it in parallel with API. The hosted service needs some services injected. I register them in startup.cs, but I get an error:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'Cannot consume scoped service 'IXService' from singleton 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.HostedServiceExecutor'.'

My startup.cs:
services.AddScoped<IXService, XService>();
services.AddHostedService<MyHostedService>();

I had a similar problem yet with DbContext, I solved it with https://stackoverflow.com/a/48368934/8475133, but this time I need dependency injection going through deeper layers and dealing with IServiceScopeFactory in each doesn't seem to be an elegant solution.

A: The reason you're not allowed to do this is because MyHostedService has a singleton lifetime, which is a longer lifetime than scoped. The basic assumption here is that a service that is registered as scoped should not be kept alive indefinitely, this could easily happen if a singleton service keeps a reference to a scoped service.
I think the solution you're looking for is to inject IServiceProvider into MyHostedService, use it to create a new scope and new XService instance whenever you need it.
That is, replace
_xService.Foo();

with
using(var scope = _serviceProvider.CreateScope()) {
    var xService = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<IXService>();
    xService.Foo();
}

An alternative, of course, would be to simply register XService as a singleton, by just replacing the call to AddScoped with AddSingleton, but I would not recommend it.
Edit: I must admit to not reading your link before posting my response. However, I still think this is the most elegant solution.

The Kreshuk group develops machine learning-based methods and tools for automatic segmentation, classification and analysis of biological images.
Machine learning is advancing the state-of-the-art in image analysis more rapidly than ever before: for many problems in natural image analysis, automated methods are now approaching parity with humans. One of the major advantages of learning-based approaches is their general applicability: tailoring to a particular problem is performed by providing suitable training data, while the core of the algorithm remains unchanged. To bring these methods to life scientists without computer vision expertise, we have developed a toolkit for interactive learning and segmentation (ilastik).
While the algorithms in ilastik generalise to provide user-friendly solutions for a wide array of image analysis problems, the most challenging bioimage datasets require a tailored approach. In particular, we have addressed the problem of automatic reconstruction of neural circuits from 3D electron microscopy data. The circuit reconstruction involves segmentation of neurons along with detection of synaptic contacts and prediction of their directions. Here, the most challenging aspect is the difference of scales: while single synapses are only visible at EM resolution, neurons have to be reconstructed across whole brain regions. Methods we have developed combine convolutional neural networks with post-processing by probabilistic graphical models to achieve state-of-the-art results on most neural segmentation challenges.
All machine learning algorithms require user guidance at the training stage, but deep learning - the driver of the current computer vision revolution - is even more annotation-hungry. This problem is especially acute in biological imaging, where annotation of ground-truth data cannot easily be outsourced to non-experts, and changes in experimental conditions can require retraining. Besides the annotation burden, the training process itself depends upon non-trivial expertise in the choice and tuning of hyper-parameters. Our group will develop new training strategies for convolutional neural networks which will allow for simple, ilastik-style interactive training on biological images. On the application side we plan to address the problem of integrating data from different imaging modalities, such as data from correlative microscopy experiments.


Has anyone done this (or have a G&L)? Can you tell me a little about the effectiveness? If I can tame the bass just by rolling a tone knob back a little bit, it would be awesome.
Also, no, I haven't tried just lowering the neck pickup yet. That's going to be the first thing I try. I just want to feel this out as an option.

4-Part Series for studio owners and AcroDance teachers
Acro Islands & Zoom available live or on demand
Is it possible to teach AcroDance while your students are on their own mat, without physical spotting from the teacher? How about on Zoom? Can dancers really find progression and advance without being in the studio with the teacher?
YES! It is possible! You can have engaging, effective classes even when you can't spot your dancers. Plus, there's an added bonus: Learning how to teach without spotting will make you a much better teacher, with more organized classrooms, more engaged students and exciting results! This means that when spotting tricks is once again possible, you will have the advantage of using spotting as well as the skills you learn during the pandemic to progress your students. In short, you will be a more effective teacher!
How to teach Acro during the pandemic - a four part series in partnership with Acrobatic Arts
This series will focus on ways teachers can keep dancers engaged and progressing in AcroDance classes while teaching without spotting skills. Learn tips and tricks for every part of your Acro classes, from classroom management to progressions using trick ladders, drills and games and so much more! The lessons you take from instructing during the pandemic will enrich your teaching long after zoom is no longer the norm! Expert teachers from Acrobatic Arts will give you teaching tools you can use in your next lesson, and for a lifetime!
4 (1.15 hour) lessons + unlimited on demand access
was $79, now $69
Keeping Your Zoom Classes Engaging
Acro-Islands & Zoom Lesson 1
LIVE: 1/28 (11-12:15 PM)
On-Demand begins 1/29
Instructor: Sarah Reis
This class will introduce a variety of games and challenges teachers can play with students to make Zoom instruction fun and engaging while also productive. A list of games will be introduced and ideas on how to integrate them and modify for age/level will be discussed. Not just for Acro Class, the ideas outlined in this class will be useful in all genres.
Teaching Limbering Without Spotting
LIVE: 2/4 (11-12:15 PM)
On-Demand begins 2/5
Instructor: Drew Burgess
This session will cover the rudiments of limbering safely and efficiently. We will focus on training the spine to separate and lengthen while maintaining strength and stability throughout the entire body. Attendees can expect to see drills, progressions, and variations of kneeling and standing bridges, arabians, limbers, and walkovers. All progressions will be demonstrated without the need for spotting.
Keeping Advanced Kids Advancing
Instructor: Trish Thompson-Creamer
Keep your advanced students progressing, while keeping them safe, by introducing variations to skills they have already mastered. Cartwheels, walkovers, balances and more can be used as the base for spectacular tricks that will leave the audience wondering 'how did they do that!!' This class will give you many ideas for training new variations that your students will love from master Acro teacher Trish Thompson Creamer!
Teaching Balancing & Tumbling on Acro-Islands
Instructor: Vicki Fletcher
This class will focus on balancing and tumbling for all ages and levels. We will look at different entrances and exits for balances to keep dancers progressing and challenged. Drills for tumbling will centre around body shaping and positioning to build strong confident tumblers. Truly understanding body shaping will help dancers achieve tumbling tricks faster once we get back into the studio and spotting is possible!
BONUS: for those who attend live, you will have the opportunity to take part in a 15 min. Q & A following each Acro-Islands & Zoom session!
Includes resources as well as handouts for each lesson!

DP World to build Namibia industrial, logistics economic zone
The project can create up to 20, 000 job opportunities and attract investments of around $1.7 bn
Dubai-based port operator DP World has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Namibia's Nara Namib Free Economic Industrial Zone to develop an industry and logistics free economy zone facility in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
The project, which is developed by DP World, will help Namibia grow as an industrial and logistics hub in Southern Africa. It will provide businesses with warehousing facilities, office accommodation as well as development-ready land for industrial and logistics operations. Once completed, it will increase Namibia's trade flows with markets in Angola, Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi and South Africa.
An agreement between DP World and Namibia's Nara Namib Free Economic Industrial Zone will be reached in the second quarter of 2020. The first phase of the project, which covers an area of 50 hectares, has the potential to create 3000 jobs and attract $237 into Namibia.
The whole project, which spans over an area of 1500 hectares, can create up to 20, 000 job opportunities and attract investments of around $1.7 billion.
Suhail Al Banna, CEO and managing director for the Middle East and Africa at DP World told the media, "We believe the country has great potential to expand its role as a hub for the region. The Namibian government's recent legislation on free zones and efforts to facilitate greater business provides an attractive environment for investment."
DP World, which is the world's largest port operator, reported a 1.6 percent drop in container volume to 17.7 million TEU in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 18 million during the same period last year.
In Africa, DP World operates in Senegal, Egypt, Mozambique, Algeria, Rwanda, and Somaliland. Last year, it signed an agreement to develop a logistics platform in Mali. DP World is also developing Congo's first deep-sea port.

Marcus Schwartz (Mario Adorf) is an old man who has lived with a cautiously buried secret for most of his life - for Marcus Schwartz was born as Menah'hem Teitelbaum and has concealed his Jewish heritage ever since he survived the horrors of Auschwitz.
Now, as he has decided that he wants to be buried on a Jewish cemetery, he has to verify what he has carefully hidden for most of his life and that proves to be quite a difficult task.
On the journey to his roots in Satu Mare, a little village on the Hungarian-Romanian border, he is accompanied by Gül, a young German Girl of Turkish heritage, who, just like Marcus, tries to come to terms with her past...

Higgins School of Humanities to present spring symposium on pop culture
Lectures to examine racism and blackface, oversized McMansions, and music of the '70s
Visiting Artist Brian Ulrich talks about "Magic Lanterns," an exhibition of his work on view at the Higgins School of Humanities until April 26. The exhibition is part of the Higgins spring symposium, Pop Cultures.
This spring, Clark University's Higgins School of Humanities is exploring the glitzy and glamorous, retro and campy, catchy, annoying, or simply bewildering phenomena of pop culture.
"We love what we love. We can't help it — guilty pleasures, stylish schlock, the tunes we can't get out of our head, the TV shows we binge," writes Meredith Neuman, director of the Higgins School. "Popular culture is driven as much by a taste for the new and surprising as by the need for the familiar and comforting. It suggests the fluidity between high and low art, the substantive and the frivolous. Pop culture also can provide a critical reflection of society, producing insight and dialogue. It can create new worlds, inviting us to imagine radical alternatives and to speculate 'what if?' "
An exhibition of work by photographer Brian Ulrich, "Magic Lanterns," opened Feb. 20 and will be on view in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons through April 26. The photos, portraying contemporary consumer culture, draw from a larger project, The Centurion, which explores growing economic disparity and the resulting social, economic, and psychological effects that result when luxury and wealth become preeminent definitions of success.
Upcoming events in "Pop Cultures" include:
The Unfinished Work of Early Modern Blackface, Thursday, March 14, at 4:30 p.m., Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons
Miles Grier
The ongoing debate about the ethics of impersonating black people has been framed in terms of offense and appropriation. But are there aspects of blackface that are submerged and even protected by this framing? Miles Grier, of CUNY Queens College, will draw on a catalog of 16th- and 17th-century stage moors to argue that early modern blackface did its most important work not by creating negative images of Africans, but by treating blackness as an ink or transferable mark. Black characters either were afforded credibility or treated as something for others to study; blackface produced a white interpretive community authorized to assess black character in its textual and embodied forms, an aspect of racial hierarchy that is both older and more fundamental than mockery, and which produced injustices that far surpass the stakes of cultural appropriation.
This event continues the Roots of Everything, a lecture series sponsored by Early Modernists Unite (EMU) — a faculty collaborative bringing together scholars of medieval and early modern Europe and America — in conjunction with the Higgins School of Humanities. Additional co-sponsors include the Center for Gender, Race, and Area Studies; the departments of English and History; and the Theatre Arts program.
McMansion Hell, Tuesday, April 2, at 7 p.m., Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons
Kate Wagner
Since its launch in July 2016, Kate Wagner's blog McMansion Hell has become an internet and media sensation. The site uses cutting humor and actual real estate listings to roast "the world's ugliest houses" from top to bottom, all while teaching subscribers about principles of architecture and design. But what exactly is a McMansion? How did these oversized and poorly crafted dwellings evolve — and what are the aesthetic, economic, social, and environmental implications of their ongoing popularity? In this lecture, Wagner will examine the architectural and pop cultural roots of this pervasive feature in the American suburban landscape.
This event is co-sponsored by the Higgins School of Humanities; the Art History program; and the Urban Development and Social Change concentration.
Pick Up the Pieces: Excursions in Seventies Music, Wednesday, April 10, at 4:30 p.m., Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons
Drug delirium, groovy fashion, religious cults, mega corporations, glitzy glam, hard rock, global unrest — from our 2019 perspective, the 1970s are often remembered as a bizarre blur of bohemianism and disco. Weaving musical excerpts with readings from his latest book, Pick Up the Pieces, writer, curator, and producer John Corbett will take us through a curated playlist of the varied musical scene of the '70s (rock, disco, pop, soul, jazz, folk, and funk), creating a panoramic view of the era through cultural observation, music criticism, and personal insight.
This event is co-sponsored by the Higgins School of Humanities; the English Department; and the Music program.

Did you know that LBG Canada companies have leveraged over $1 Billion in stakeholder contributions to community since 2007?
So, how do LBG Canada companies leverage stakeholders?
TORONTO, March 23, 2017 /3BL Media/ - Imagine Canada, a national advocate on behalf of a strong charitable sector, has joined forces with London Benchmarking Group (LBG) Canada, a resource for companies seeking to impact community through community investment, employee volunteering and giving programming. Together, LBG Canada companies and Imagine Canada Caring Companies will set the highest standard in community investment.
Since 2013, 44% of LBG Canada companies have reduced community investment spending, yet many have sustained, even increased overall investment into the community. The secret?
Companies offering meaningful opportunities to participate in community activities are significantly more likely to maintain levels of community impact through challenging economic times.
The LBG Measurement Model is an international standard for measuring corporate community investment.
Congratulations. You've made the donation. You've built the school. Your CEO just delivered the cardboard check and was quoted in mainstream media.
Will this really make a difference? The nonprofit organization will tell you all about the number of children who can now attend school and have access to books and teachers. The mayor will proclaim that this is a true community asset.
But how do you measure the long-term impact to the community, and justify the benefit of this donation to your CEO beyond the press coverage and goodwill?

Locals concerned as Cuomo pushes municipal mergers
By MICHAEL HILL - Associated Press - Saturday, February 22, 2014
GLENVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Town court in Glenville is about four miles from village court in Scotia, and combining the two local courts near Schenectady seemed to make sense. But then issues popped up over increased caseloads, conflicting court times and an added financial burden on the town.
"What we found was there really wasn't an efficiency as much as there was a shift of costs to one municipality," said town supervisor Christopher Koetzle.
Combining local services has always been politically and logistically tricky. Now Gov. Andrew Cuomo has upped the ante in Albany's long-running effort to get cities, towns, villages and counties to consolidate or share services such as law enforcement, firefighting and schooling. Under his new plan, if there's no cost-saving agenda from local officials, their homeowners won't get tax rebates designed as incentives to promote action.
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell insists Trump will remain president despite election loss, insurrection
The municipal officials who would be on the hook for executing the plans say they support the concept, but foresee challenges.
"I do agree with the governor that there's just too much government out there," said Chemung County Executive Tom Santulli. "But … it's very, very difficult when you try to do consolidation. I think a lot of people like their town, they like their village."
Cuomo's budget proposal calls for tax rebates this year to eligible homeowners who live in school districts that stay within the 2 percent cap on property tax increases. The rebates would make up for the amount of the property tax increase, creating a tax "freeze."
Cuomo's plan would increase the pressure on schools and municipalities in their second year in the program, when they also would be required to come up with cost-saving plans for consolidating or sharing services. It's the governor's way of pushing along the politically difficult task of paring down duplicative local government operations, which he says are a driver of higher property taxes.
"We have too many local governments in this state and they are suffocating the state in high property taxes," Cuomo said Wednesday on Long Island.
The 2012 federal Census of Governments reported there were 3,452 active local governments - including counties, municipalities, school districts and special districts - ranking it ninth in the nation.
Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava predicted the rebate checks will be a powerful incentive for local officials, especially if homeowners in neighboring towns are benefiting.
"If they're getting a $500-$600 check in the mail and the people of Moriah aren't getting a check in the mail, how long do you think I'm going to be in office?" he asked with a laugh.
But like other local officials, Scozzafava hopes the proposal will take into account the efficiencies they have already put in place.
Scozzafava said his Adirondack town has already taken over police and other services for the village of Port Henry - sorts of moves that are common statewide. A survey last year by Cornell University researchers of 946 cities, counties, towns and villages in New York found more than two-thirds shared 911 service and roughly half shared fire, public transit, library or road and highway services.
Cornell's Mildred Warner said sharing services is hugely common in New York. Far rarer is two governments consolidating, such as when voters dissolve a village into the surrounding town. For instance, the village of Altmar in central New York formally dissolved last year.
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente said one big challenge is getting local governments on the same page. His central New York county has 26 towns, 19 villages and 3 cities.
"There's got to be a willingness with the multiple jurisdictions to get to the threshold that kicks in the rebate and that's going to be very hard to do, almost impossible in certain areas," said Picente.
Local officials say the new pressure to cut comes as they continue to face costly mandates ranging from preschool to pensions. And both local officials and state lawmakers who are considering the governor's proposal have questioned how the rebate program would be coordinated with so many layers of overlapping government. The Cuomo administration said their plan is solid.
Still, Scozzafava gives Cuomo credit for taking the issue on.
"He's taken on an issue that past governors just touched it but then saw that it was hot, so backed away," he said.

Book of Dede Korkut
Masters of Deception
March 13, 2019 by Essay Writer
The element of disguise is often associated with deception and suspense. This literary device is seemingly ubiquitous throughout Eastern and Western folklore, and is seen in Homer's Odyssey and the Turkish epic The Book of Dede Korkut. Despite the fact that disguise manifests itself in varying capacities, each homecoming evokes a question of identity. Ancient Greek and Turkish culture viewed identity as a representation of the role that one plays in society. Both Odysseus and Bamsi Beyrek are characters of good standing in society. They are portrayed as brave heroes from upper-class backgrounds. In order for the heroes to successfully "return" home, they must adopt a disguise to test the loyalty of those around them. Thus, their homecomings are not only physical, but also metaphorical, because they represent the restoration of their original identities.
The second half of The Odyssey focuses on the trials that Odysseus faces after he returns home to Ithaca. Paradoxically, Odysseus must conceal his true self while trying to reclaim both his home and his identity. At Athena's urging, Odysseus disguises himself as a wandering beggar in order to test the loyalty of the suitors (17.396-398). Antinous, one of the suitors, mocks Odysseus by calling him "a brazen, shameless beggar" (496). Although the suitors continue to taunt Odysseus as he strings his bow, they become frightened when they see his skill: So they mocked, but Odysseus, mastermind in action, once he'd handled the great bow and scanned every inch… so with his virtuoso ease Odysseus strung his mighty bow… Horror swept through the suitors, faces blanching white, and Zeus cracked the sky with a bolt, his blazing sign… He snatched a winged arrow lying bare on the board—the rest still bristled deep inside the quiver, soon to be tasted by all the feasters there. (21.451-452, 456, 459-465)This scene captures the key moment in which Odysseus reveals himself. Homer portrays Odysseus in two ways. First, Odysseus is the patriarch of his family. In the external world, Odysseus is the king of Ithaca. Odysseus is a father, husband, and king; these perspectives of Odysseus highlight the core of his identity. Essentially, Odysseus' identity is a reflection of the roles that he plays in society. For Odysseus, the ability to disguise his identity empowers him and permits him to accomplish his task.
As Odysseus reveals himself and defeats the suitors, he reclaims his original identity. In fact, Odysseus seems even more grand and majestic as he reveals himself: "Now stripping back his rags Odysseus master of craft and battle vaulted onto the great threshold… and poured his flashing shafts before him…" (22.1-3). Eventually, Odysseus slaughters all the suitors to reunite with his family and his kingdom. Odysseus' homecoming is significant because it proves that identity is the essence of character and personality. Identity was especially important during the time of the ancient Greeks because people identified themselves based on their ancestors and their homelands. The Odyssey refers to this concept when Odysseus introduces himself to Alcinous: "I am Odysseus, son of Laertes, known to the world for every kind of craft… Sunny Ithaca is my home" (9.21-23). Thus, the link between a hero and his homeland is crucial because the hero will always return home.
Likewise, Bamsi Beyrek from "The Story of Bamsi Beyrek" in The Book of Dede Korkut also experiences a similar homecoming. Bamsi Beyrek was held captive for several years and discovers that his betrothed was about to marry someone else. He laments: Oh, my forty comrades, do you know what has happened? Yaltajuk, son of Yalanji, spread the word that I was dead, and my father's happy tent with the gold chimney filled with mourning. His daughters and daughters-in-law, wearing white like geese, took off that white and put on black. Banu Chichek, whom I loved at the opening of my eyes, with all my heart, is to be wed to Yaltajuk, son of Yalanji. (3.55-56)This quote implies that he was worried about his father's reaction to the news of his death. In the narrative, Bamsi Beyrek is depicted as son and as a fiancé of Banu Chichek. His role as a son is a major part of his identity; he clearly has already established a good relationship with his father. Furthermore, his engagement to Banu Chichek, to whom he was betrothed to even before his birth, suggests that he is destined to be with her from the very beginning.
Like Odysseus, Bamsi Beyrek also disguises himself as someone of a lower social standing (57). As a minstrel, he is mocked and ridiculed by Yaltajuk (61). In response, Bamsi Beyrek strikes the wedding ring with his arrow and shatters it (62). Not only does this scene demonstrate his prowess with the bow and arrow, but it also proves that one's identity does not change. Each character has a different identity because of the different roles that each character plays. Hence, the only person who can claim Bamsi Beyrek's identity is Bamsi Beyrek himself. In other words, Bamsi Beyrek's identity is what makes him unique.
In final analysis, there are several striking similarities in the homecoming scenes of The Odyssey and The Book of Dede Korkut. Both narratives send an important message about the concept of identity: Identity cannot be faked. The identities of both Odysseus and Bamsi Beyrek are being contested by others. In order for Odysseus and Bamsi Beyrek to truly return home and regain their rightful identity, they have to disguise themselves as someone of a lower social rank, only to emerge even stronger than before. As such, the element of disguise is essential to the plots of both narratives because it gives the heroes social mobility. This invisibility allows them to gain knowledge and test the loyalty of others. Although the ancient Greeks and Turks defined identity as how you were viewed by others, modern society perceives identity as how we view ourselves. Despite these differences, identity still continues to play a critical role in human nature and the way in which we view the world.
