In this second post in a series on Latino startups, Oxford SBS Seed Fund co-founder Mark Hand explores some of the obstacles that Latino-run and Latino-focused startups face. Read the first post in the series here.
If there is one topic that entrepreneurs love to talk about more than any other, it is be the trials and tribulations of being a founder. You work impossibly long hours; you wake up with cold sweats knowing that every moment you're not working on your idea, your competitor is. You spend more time managing people than you do with the product that you wanted to build; you are constantly reminded by more 'reasonable' friends and family members that you are sacrificing prime earning years to chase a dream. Money is always in short supply, and no one--no one--can ever truly give you the peace of mind that you are doing it right.
In nearly one hundred conversations about Latino startups over the last eight months, I've also heard and identified a handful of other hurdles specific to Latino startups. Some of them are relevant to Latino founders; others are particular to startups whose primary customers are Latinos.
Latino founders' uphill fight for funding?
Latino founders, just like their non-Latino counterparts, point to the lack of high-risk capital as a significant barrier to the growth of Latino startups. Unlike in conversations with white founders, however, hints at racial bias among funders are pretty common in conversations with Latino founders. Few accuse venture capital investors of outright racism. Instead, they make two arguments. The first, voiced by at least one venture-funded entrepreneur, is that venture investors have the same subconscious racial bias that Chicago Booth researchers discovered among hiring managers in Boston and Chicago. Venture capital (VC) investors retort that if they see a strong team with a good idea in a growing market, they don't care about someone's race or country of origin. In fact, Silicon Valley is so dependent upon foreign talent that they now lobby ferociously for immigration reform.
The second, related argument is that the nature of many VC investors' networks is such that black and Hispanic entrepreneurs are excluded not due to racial bias but because of the nature of social networks. In a recent conversation about the opportunity for a Latino-focused startup fund, one VC asked me if I was saying all VCs were racist. "No," I said, "We're lazy." When some VCs proudly trumpet that a resourceful entrepreneur will find the right introduction to them, they are trusting their network to complete the first round of vetting of potential startups. In the aggregate, such a closed-network approach to deal-sourcing means out-of-network ideas are shut out until someone (a "broker" in network theory) connects them.
Before they approach VCs for scale-up funding, however, Latino founders point to another gap in funding. Unlike founders from well-connected, wealthy backgrounds, Latino founders have fewer wealthy friends and family members waiting in the wings to pump $20,000 into their startup. One Latina founder told me that, as the most educated and successful member of her extended family, asking her family for money would be laughable; instead, she is expected to be the one with a steady job providing cushion for everyone else. In this way, Latina founders, already carrying much of the weight of the growing Latino startup community, may be loaded down even more than their male counterparts by familial expectations.
What of startups that are not run by Latinos but focus on the Latino market? They too, face special struggles both in financing and execution. In seeking financing from VCs, Latino market startups struggle to get attention from investors rightly inclined to fund what they already know--e.g. tech, life sciences, solar, mass market retail, defense. Why educate yourself on a new, unproven market, exposing yourself to even greater risk? The answer, of course, is that not only are Latinos a large and growing group of upwardly mobile young consumers, but they are early adopters of new technologies and bellwethers for shifts in consumer trends; but as Antonio Altamirano points out, this case has yet to be made in a clear and compelling way.
Even given funding, Latino-focused startups face a special challenge: the Latino market may be huge, but it is incredibly nuanced and diverse. Most obviously, Latino market startups have to balance the needs of English-dominant and Spanish-dominant customers; the fluently bilingual customer support and content creators required to do this are tough to find and harder to retain.
Yet both Latino founders and those interested in the Hispanic market are plowing ahead. One example of such forward momentum is Manos Accelerator, which has recently accepted their first cohort of Latino startups. In our next article, we'll take a closer look at a few of the Latinos and Latino-focused entrepreneurs blazing the trail--if you know of a few, send them our way!

NKorea calls for peace talks, end to sanctions
admin Contributor
January 11, 2010 1:43 AM ET
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea proposed peace talks to formally end the Korean War, saying Monday that improved ties with the United States and an end to sanctions are conditions for resuming international negotiations aimed at ridding it of nuclear weapons.
The North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the resumption of the six-nation nuclear talks depends on building confidence between Pyongyang and Washington and called for a peace treaty, which it has long demanded.
"It is our conclusion that it is necessary to pay primary attention to building confidence between (North Korea) and the United States, the parties chiefly responsible for the nuclear issue, in order to bring back the process for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula on track," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said it "courteously proposes to the parties to the armistice agreement an early start of the talks" to replace it with a peace treaty.
The 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, thus leaving the peninsula technically at war. North Korea, the U.S. and China are signatories to the cease-fire, while South Korea has never signed the accord.
North Korea pulled out of the six-party nuclear talks with the U.S., China, South Korea, Russia and Japan last year after international criticism of a long-range rocket launch that drew U.N. sanctions.
President Barack Obama's special envoy for North Korea, however, said last month following a landmark trip to Pyongyang that the North has agreed on the need to return to the talks, though the country has not said when it would rejoin the forum.
The talks began in 2003, and in 2005 and 2007 there were agreements on a disarmament pact which calls for North Korea to end its nuclear programs in exchange for economic aid, security assurances and diplomatic recognition.
The North's call came as Obama's special envoy for human rights in the communist country harshly criticized it Monday and said that the situation is preventing a normalization of relations.
"It's one of the worst places in terms of lack of human rights," Robert King told reporters after meeting South Korea's foreign minister. "The situation is appalling."

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Noregon Systems officially launched its new vehicle health monitoring program, TripVision, during the American Trucking Association's Management Conference and Exhibition Oct. 1.
The system is being touted as a fault information system for all makes, models and components that can help fleets best determine and address vehicle health.
TripVision provides fault history, severity, component, a summary and detailed description of the fault and the vehicle's details, which can help determine the severity of the problem.
Faults are analyzed from a health standpoint to figure out whether the vehicle could continue operating, and from a safety standpoint.
The system allows businesses to set up sub-businesses to better manage multiple fleets.
There is also an alert setting with TripVision, which notifies customers via email or text message when a problem arises.
Noregon said it has over 2.5 millions log files dating back as early as 2000, which enables the company to best determine fault relationships and how to best approach each issue.

But I not sure that ADP1055 can support spread spectrum clock on SYNC pin.
Can someone confirm or disprove that, please?
SWITCH command (Register 0x33). "
It seems that ADP1055 can support spread spectrum on the assumption that modulation is not exceed ±10%.
You are correct. As long as input frequency does not deviate from internal frequency in 0x33 the ADP1055 will track the variation and spectrum of the input frequency.
May I ask how you are going t generate this spread spectrum waveform and feed it into the SYNC pin of ADP1055?
I think I will use LTC6908-1 with 5-> 3.3V resistor divider or MOSFET or IC voltage translator.

Canada and the World, Ep. 7: Security threats — who's on the list?
A new podcast series from OpenCanada.org and the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
This week's episode features a discussion on threats to Canada and the world, recorded live in Ottawa at the Conference of Defence Associations (CDA) Institute. What can be done against a revitalized Russia playing great power politics, and the worrying trend of growing populism in Europe?
First, given that Canada currently has boots on the ground in Latvia to defend against Russian incursions, we examine whether or not Russia is indeed an adversarial country to Canada.
Second, panelists grapple with the question of whether Canada would be better served by cutting relations with bad actors on the world stage, especially given the institutional, political and economic damage that is being caused by various populist leaders in Europe.
Finally, we look at various Russian information operations in Europe and around the world, and how disinformation is affecting the outcomes of elections.

RespectAbility is an American nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to empowerment and self-advocacy for individuals with disabilities. Its official mission is to fight stigmas and advance opportunities for people with disabilities. RespectAbility was founded by one-time political consultant Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi and philanthropists Donn Weinberg (its founding chairperson, from The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation) and Shelly Cohen in 2013. Its current President and CEO is Ariel Simms, and its chairperson is Ollie Cantos.

Education and employment for persons with disabilities
RespectAbility is working to expand education and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. RespectAbility has worked with governors across the country to help advance and realign state programs to help people with disabilities obtain competitive, integrated employment opportunities. RespectAbility has provided testimony on disability employment in all 50 states and at the federal level.

Disabled persons in media and movies
RespectAbility is working to change the narrative in Hollywood to ensure accurate and positive media portrayals of people with disabilities. RespectAbility is working with several partners within the entertainment industry on the full inclusion of people with disabilities, both in front and behind the camera.

Born This Way, which won an Emmy for best Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program in 2017, stars seven diverse young adults with Down syndrome as they deal with issues around employment, independent living, education and romance. The show was created by former RespectAbility board member Jonathan Murray. It was launched at an event on Capitol Hill hosted by RespectAbility along with Congressman Brad Sherman and Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Murray was recognized for this and other inclusion work by Variety.

National Leadership Program
The National Leadership Program is an Apprenticeship program which enables individuals with and without disabilities to gain experience in policy, development, fundraising, publicity and general political discourse surrounding individuals with disabilities and their integration into the community.

Political outreach and advocacy
RespectAbility is the parent organization for www.TheRespectAbilityReport.org, which covers the intersection of politics and public policy. It covered all the presidential candidates in the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. Their political advocacy was featured in a segment on the PBS NewsHour, The Diane Rehm Show, page 1 of The New York Times, and page 1 of The Washington Post and NPR, HME News, The Atlantic and other publications.

Controversy

The organization has come under fire due to its Founder Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi's comments about race and the 2016 election. Although Mizrahi was making a highly technical (and probably incorrect) point about what might turn the election in favor of Hillary Clinton, multiple disability rights bloggers objected to Mizrahi's comments. After Mizrahi's September 21, 2016, comments on her personal Facebook page, the organization stated Mizrahi did not speak for the organization on matters of that type in her personal blog. However, the following day, Mizrahi spoke on behalf of RespectAbility USA when she was quoted on CNN about white disabled voters. In response, RespectAbility issued an apology, which many disabled bloggers felt was a non-apology since she never actually apologized. Later the organization issued a more detailed apology amidst pressure from the disability community.

The Harriet Tubman Collective, have called out RespectAbility and Mizrahi on their social media platforms, for her racism, and appropriation of the work of their members, who are disabled black women.

Meliade eller Meliai (oldgræsk: Μελίαι Meliai eller Μελιάδες Meliades) var i græsk mytologi normalt anset som nymferne i asketræ, hvis navn de delte. Ifølge Hesiod blev Meliades (formentlig i betydningen af alle tre nymfer) født af en bloddråbe, der faldt på Gaia (Jorden), da Kronos kastrerede Uranus. I Hesiods Værker og dage er asktrænerne, der måske betyder Meliade-nymferne, stamfader til den generation af mænd, der tilhørte Hesiods Bronzealder.
^ Caldwell, p. 38 n. 178–187: "The nymphs called Meliai are properly "ash-tree" nymphs; the Greek word for ash-trees is meliai also", and according to Larson, p. 29: "most commentators agree" that "the Meliai are ash-tree nymphs", although according to West, p. 221 n. 187 Μελίας, in Callimachus, Hymn 4—To Delos 79–85, and Nonnus' Dionysiaca, and probably in Hesiod as well, the Meliae are simply "tree-nymphs, probably without distinction of the particular kind of tree".
^ Hesiod, Theogony 182–187; West, p. 221 n. 187 Μελίας; Hard, p. 209.
^ Hesiod, Works and Days 140–155 (Evelyn-White): "Zeus the Father made a third generation of mortal men, a brazen race, sprung from ash-trees [meliai]", here interpreting meliai as the common noun ash-trees, as did Eustathius. However Proclus thought it meant ash-tree nymphs (see Evelyn-White's note; Larson, p. 29), cf. Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica 4.1641–1642, which makes it simply "ash-trees". According to Most, p. 19 n. 9, "It is unclear what exactly the relation is between the Melian nymphs, the ash trees with which they are closely associated, and human beings, who may have originated from one or the other of these".

BELLA & EDWARD as Vampire
Vampire A-Z
Vampire have existed in a variety of cultures almost since the dawn of time. Until the 19th century, they were believed to be monsters, rather than the stereotype of a Mehr aristocratic being who could infiltrate the world around us, as popularised Von Bram Stoker. Legend has developed since, with pop culture shows such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which tackles concepts such as a vampire with a soul and possible redemption for a creature previously believed to have had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bella lists her observations when she is researching on the internet: "Speed, strength,...

Sea Around Us Study Finds 30% of Global Fish Catch Is Unreported
The Sea Around Us project -- one of Vulcan's partners in its ocean health initiatives -- hit a key milestone with the release of a global study that showed countries drastically underreport the number of fish caught worldwide, and the numbers obscure a significant decline in the total catch.
The study was the result of 15 years of research by a team at the University of British Columbia led by Daniel Pauly and Dirk Zeller and supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
The study attribute the discrepancy to the fact that most countries focus their data collection efforts on industrial fishing and largely exclude difficult-to-track categories such as artisanal, subsistence, and illegal fishing, as well as discarded fish.
"The world is withdrawing from a joint bank account of fish without knowing what has been withdrawn or the remaining balance," said Pauly.
Vulcan has provided technical support to ensure the data is publically available to researchers, policy makers, media and other potential audiences via the Sea Around Us Web site.
The new data sparked global coverage of the issue:
The Guardian – Overfishing causing global catches to fall three times faster than estimated
The Washington Post – Why we've been hugely underestimating the overfishing of the oceans
BBC – Global fishing catch significantly under-reported, says study
Nature News – Independent study tallies 'true catch' of global fishing
Le Monde (France) – La surpêche et le déclin des ressources ont été largement sous-estimés
El Pais (Spain) – La humanidad pesca 32 millones de toneladas de peces a escondidas
O Globo (Brazil) – Peso do pescado global é subestimado, diz pesquisa
Working to tackle the world's toughest problems


It was neither a dark nor stormy night. Nothing strange was in the works. The kids woke up at their normal time without fanfare.
I should have known that something was about to go terribly awry when I heard this precious shriek, "Mommy, I need you!"
"I pee-peed on the floor."
As there was a giant, man-sized wet line down the middle of my carpet, I could already see that.
"Why did you potty on the floor?"
I knew then, that this day would be a whopper. My spidey senses were tingling that, because Daddy would not be home until late, this peeing on the floor incident foretold disaster.
My poor freshly cleaned carpet! I took five minutes to myself (to write this), so you can imagine what chaos ensues. I will keep you posted.


Traveller Multimedia Network, LLC was managing private and governmental networks before the Internet became public domain. When it did, the principals of Traveller were leaders in bringing reliable, affordable connectivity to businesses. Today,we're creating mutually-beneficial partnerships out of the public and private networks we build and support.
We successfully leverage public infrastructure to help lower connectivity costs and create massive high-speed networks for commercial mission critical data. Cities and counties who allow the use of their infrastructure—poles and towers, for instance—get essential communications services in return. Video control, documents, medical imaging, sensor information and many more advanced applications can be deployed quickly when you own your network as we do.
Traveller is not a reseller. Our wholly-owned, high bandwidth network allows us to react to our customers' needs without the delay of red tape associated with multiple operators. And we provide a single point of control for the deployment and service of your mission-critical data.
Traveller is an IP data provider, but the wireless portion of our network shouldn't be confused with WIFI. If you're thinking 802.x when you hear the word wireless, think bigger—much bigger. While wireless hotspots are one of the many products we provide for our customers, the Traveller "cloud" is an entirely different universe.
When you drive beneath your city's infrastructure and landmarks, you can look up to the foundation of Traveller's network. From those and many other multipoints, we can beam our flexible connectivity much easier than any competitor can run a wire. And unlike a wire, our wireless transport doesn't even exist to those who would want to compromise it.
It's only there for you.
Our security measures includes 128-bit WEP and AES data encryption; comprehensive tools for authentication of legitimate users and control of paid-for services; denial of services to "stolen" units and automatic identification of fraudulent configuration change attempts; meticulous control of access for management and configuration of units; numerous filtering and flow control features; and built-in support for virtual private networks.
While we can't reach everyone everywhere (yes, some potential customers are in the "shadows" of the very heights on which our wireless gear resides) we do get around very well. Consider that Traveller's networks allow the secure sharing of thousands medical images—including CT scans and 3D heart images—every month among many regional medical facilties over our 2700-square-mile network. Our State of Art Data Center provide a SOC3 complient facility for entities looking to build their won cloud.
Our work with government operations include data transmission to off-campus buildings; traffic counts, weather sensors; and the deployment of a number of types of data communications techniques to outlying areas where Internet communications do not otherwise exist.
City governments rely on Traveller to get real-time water quality data from outlying water processing plants—miles outside of telecommunications infrastructure—into laboratories in city centers.
We see ourselves as the provider of choice for a collection of connections.
And how will you decide to use Traveller?
We've said it before, but it's worth saying again: we offer flexibility, security, performance and dependability. These are the essential ingredients in all our networks. Upon this foundation, it's our job to help you see what's coming and figure out how.
TMN operates a 8000 square foot Data Center, in Huntsville, Alabama. The facility has N+1 Power and Redundant Environment conditioning and maintains SOC3 complience.
Our network includes over 2700 square miles of Primary and Secondary Wireless IP access directly to our data facility. This secure and dynamic network has been deployed in Medical, Government, Security and WiFi solution in our market place. This technoloy has been a key component to helping our clients find a complete redundant network solution.
Our staff provides an array of network services including, Cisco, WiFi Planning and Deployment, Network Security, and Multimedia Solutions. While our focus is wide area network consulting, we work with many network support groups to help them design and maintain the perfect network balance for their clients.
We consider our network second to none in reliability and performance. We have deployed the perfect mix of fiber and wireless backhaul to maintain 99.999% up time. Our network has multiple high speed connections to major carriers in Atlanta, Nashville on different fiber paths making us less susceptible to an out by a single provider. Our network is a pure BGP routed environment that can meet the requirement of the most sophisticated network requirement.

Van Jones: Biden Has Stepped on a Rake, Fallen Down the Stairs; Dems 'Looking over the Edge of a Cliff'
By Alpha House	 Last updated Oct 15, 2021
OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion
When Joe Biden talks about furthering his agenda, "he steps on a rake and then he slips on a banana peel and then he falls down the stairs with some marbles and now people are looking at him in a negative light," said CNN's Van Jones.
Jones, a former Obama administration official, appeared on CNN to discuss Biden's performance of late and he did not seem too impressed.
Below is a transcript, via Grabien:
CUOMO: "The numbers are down. The party is fighting with itself, over what should be easy wins. Are they connected?"
JONES: "Well, yes, I think that right now, the honeymoon is over. There was a moment where it's like Trump's – 'Goodbye, Trump! Hello, vaccines! We're so glad to see you, Joe Biden.' That's kind of how this year started. And then, he actually got stuff done. Don't forget, you got 200 million Americans, who are vaccinated, right now. You got a trillion dollars that he was able to move out into the economy with the Rescue plan. He's dealing with the coup attempt well. His Department of Justice is going after voter suppression. He's doing a lot of good stuff. The problem is that he put himself in a position, where he made big, bold claims, about the rest of the agenda. 'You think this great stuff that we did is good. It's nothing! Wait until this summer, when you're going to get all this other stuff!' And then he steps on a rake, and then he slipped on a banana peel, and he falls down the stairs, with some marbles. And now, people are looking at him in a negative light. Now, can they recover? Yes, they can recover. If at this time, next year, if gas prices have come down, if cases are going down, jobs going up, you're going to be in a different situation. But right now, the Democratic Party is looking over the edge of a cliff. And there's a lot of fear and concern. And we're – you're not seeing that strong Joe Biden leadership that I think people were expecting to get stuff done, to get the next round of stuff done."
Biden found himself in hot water earlier on Thursday after reports that he fell asleep during an event.
Human Events senior editor and former One America News reporter Jack Posobiec reported on Twitter that sources have told him Bien fell asleep at his nephew's wedding this week.
"Biden fell completely asleep 'chin-to-chest' at his nephew's wedding on Monday and when staff woke him up he would only eat a sandwich from Capriotti's, per Pennsylvania worker at the event," he said on Twitter.
"' Asleep thru entire ceremony, and kept nodding off during the reception. Jill takes a stern, caretaker tone with him when he's groggy. He decided he wasn't going to eat what the chef had prepared and only wanted Capriotti's,'" he reported his source as saying.

It is important to note that there has been no official confirmation of Biden falling asleep and The White House has not commented on the allegation.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden attended the wedding of his nephew Cuffe Owens as he tied the knot with reality TV star Meghan O'Toole King.

Before the dawn of blockchain systems, the problem on centralized data storage systems were countless. Even with the development of blockchain systems, there is still a huge problem in the automotive business now. The information about used cars is not transparent and correct in most cases. So the possibilities of buying a 'bad' car are extremely high. This is because all the information now is centralized within one person or company.
A centralized data storage is a disaster waiting to happen. It makes it so easy for someone to change it for his/her own benefit. Secure storage of big data has been the biggest challenge for data scientists in every industry. The reason is that the information can be modified, lost or mishandled as it is stored in a single database. Moreover, due to the strenuous and expensive work that is needed to maintain a centralized data storage system, the information can be out of date.
Needless to say, misrepresented or outdated data in a centralized data storage system in the automotive industry can be fatal. However, we offer the solution to this problem. With the help of decentralized data storage, you will have efficient and fully proved information about the car. We will unite data providers to collect all the information which is the biggest advantage in comparison to a centralized system.
Market participants such as car manufacturers, car dealers, insurance companies, banks, and leasing companies all need a history of exploitation and they need it to be transparent, affordable, reliable, and authentic.
With the current rates of car imports and exports, buyers and sellers need to negotiate on common ground. Our project will be able to help buyers who are choosing a car now to have the ability to know everything about their purchase. That will create a trust relationship between buyer and seller while also developing the industry. Seller will be able to demand a higher price on the vehicle due to its high quality which can be proven with our information. Vinchain technology will help automotive business to increase the profit and to establish better relations with the customers.

Q: JavaScript: Writing Arrays localStorage Results in Duplicate Items - Why? trying to write a javascript quiz for my coding bootcamp.  having some issues with retrieving and saving previous high scores from local storage.  can someone please explain to me why the below code writes the newScore TWICE to the highScores arrayItems array into local storage?  obviously i would not like duplicates.  everything else works great except for this!  please help me.  thank you so much!
// load any existing high scores from local storage as array

let scoresArray = localStorage.getItem('highScores') ? JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('highScores')) : [];

// save the score and intials to local storage in array

let newScore = [document.querySelector("#initialsInput").value, '' + countdownTimer + ''];
scoresArray.push(newScore);

localStorage.clear("highScores");

localStorage.setItem('highScores', JSON.stringify(scoresArray));

// run the high scores function which will show all high scores, storted and give the user a chance to play again

showHighScores();

thanks for your quick replies.  im sorry i was able to supply you with all of the info you needed, but i thought i gave you enough to work with.
i was just writing to let you know i did figure out a work around. while i'm still getting the duplicate entries into the array, before writing it to localstorage i am using a very simple jquery method to remove any duplicates from my array.   here's what i ended up doing:
 var uniqueNames = [];
        $.each(scoresArray, function (i, el) {
            if ($.inArray(el, uniqueNames) === -1) uniqueNames.push(el);
        })

A:
The clear() method of the Storage interface clears all keys stored in
a given Storage object.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage/clear
I guess you don't need to clear the localStorage.

A: I believe you need to add the scenario of how triggering this implementation of adding array to the local storage, as I think you might add it twice instead (I mean if the code you showed us is inside a function or how it's executed exactly)
but from the code above, everything seems to be working fine, I'd like to have more code from your side please to better understand what's going on. also you can remove localStorage.clear as localStorage.setItem will override any existing key with new value

A: lame work around using jquery to remove duplicates from the array:
var uniqueNames = [];
        $.each(scoresArray, function (i, el) {
            if ($.inArray(el, uniqueNames) === -1) uniqueNames.push(el);
        })

Woman to be paid N500,000 by the Enugu State Waste Management Authority for human right abuses
The Enugu State Waste Management Authority will pay N500,000 to a female Enugu State resident for human rights abuses
A Federal High Court sitting in Enugu made the order on Tuesday
The presiding judge, Justice D.V. Agishi, had in her verdict, found agency liable of torture, humiliation, dehumanization and unlawful detention of Miss. Nma Ukonu.
Miss Ukonu, a Programme Officer with a non-governmental organization, "South Saharan Social Development Organisation, had through her counsel Olu Omotayo filed a suit seeking
"A declaration that the act of the defendants (The waste management authority) in inflicting grievous bodily injuries on the applicant by hitting the applicant with unidentified objects and fistic blows on the head and all over her body when they forcefully took the applicant away from her office, "South Saharan Social Development Organisation", No. 55, Chime Avenue, Enugu 29th August, 2012 on the ground that her office had not paid a certain fee constitutes a flagrant violation of the applicants' fundamental rights guaranteed under sections 34 and 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and Articles 5 & 6 of the African Charter on Human & Peoples Rights, (Ratification and
Enforcement Act) Cap. A9 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and is therefore illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
Nma Ukonu, had stated in the affidavit in support of her case that: "on the 29th August 2012, while she was at the office around 10 a.m, Nnamani came in company of 3, men who were also staff of the
ESWAMA.
"Nnamani and his 3 colleagues asked her for the 'waste management fee receipt' of two preceding years and the current year.
"She told them that the organization is a non-governmental organization and that the Programme Manager of the Organisation, Mrs. Franca Nwoye was not on seat as she was the one in possession of documents relating to everything in respect of the office.
"She further informed them that the organization normally pays service charge yearly to the managers of the property.
"They insisted that they will take her along to ESWAMA office.
"When she refused and before she could say anything the 4 men descended on her, kicked her and hit her with fistic blows and unidentified objects all over her body and thereafter started pushing
her towards the main road where they parked their bus and she was dragged into the bus.
"She was subjected to humiliation and dragged on the road like a common criminal without committing any offence known to law
"And was later taken with other people she met in the bus to ESWAMA office at 7 Ridgeway, GRA, State Secretariat Complex, Enugu.
"Where she was detained alongside with other people inside a big enclosure within ESWAMA premises for almost 8, hours.
"That when the Programme Manager of the Organisation, Mrs. Franca Nwoye came to the ESWAMA office, Nnamani demanded that the organization should pay the sum of N56 thousand naira before Miss Nma would be released.
"That she was later released on that same day around 4p.m after Mrs. Nwoye had paid the sum of N56 thousand naira of which 3 receipts acknowledging the payment of N51 thousand naira only were issued by the ESWAMA officials".
In her judgement, Justice Agishi agreed that although ESWAMA officials are agents and workers of the Enugu-State government, it did not justify their actions in slapping, kicking, dragging and further ordering the detention of the applicant, on the ground that the organization she works with has not paid waste management fee.
The Court further held that the Fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution are sacrosanct and cannot be curtailed except as contained in the constitution.
The Court held that the acts of deprivation, torture, intimidation and unlawful detention and inhuman treatment meted on Miss Nma, without her committing any offence known to the law constitutes a grave violation of her fundamental rights.

Orange, Másmovíl make €19bn merger official
Juil, 2022
Alicia Hubert Inclassable
This weekend, Orange and Másmovíl have announced that they are officially moving forward with their planned merger to create a 50:50 joint venture in Spain.
The deal values Orange Spain was valued at €7.8 billion and Másmovíl at €10.9 billion, giving the combined entity a market value of €18.6 billion.
The combined, converged operator would have roughly 7.1 million fixed line customers and 20.2 million mobile subscribers…
The combined, converged operator would have roughly 7.1 million fixed line customers and 20.2 million mobile subscribers. Its combined fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network would reach over 16 million homes. It would also include around 1.5 million TV customers.
As such, the operators suggest that the merger will generate around €450 million in synergies over the following three years, with the company saying they expect "significant efficiency gains, allowing the combined company to accelerate investments in FTTH and 5G that will benefit Spanish customers".
It is also worth noting that the deal also includes provision for a potential initial public offering (IPO) opportunity one or two years after the closing of the deal; the deal would allow both parties to trigger an IPO after a certain time and if certain conditions are met, though Orange will always have the option of taking control of the business at the IPO price.
"The joint venture […] will create a sustainable player with the financial capacity and scale to continue investing to foster the future of infrastructure competition in Spain," said the companies in a statement.
The deal comes after many months of speculation, with Másmovíl having been rumoured to be having merger talks with both Vodafone and Movistar, as well as Orange, at various times over the past couple of years. Official discussions with Orange were first revealed back in March and since then the operators have been chasing the requisite financing for the deal, finally securing €6.5 billion from roughly a dozen banks in recent weeks.
The move represents a major shakeup for the highly competitive Spanish telecoms market, combining the second and fourth largest players and creating a new market leader (combined market share roughly 44%), overcoming the current dominance of Telefonica's Movistar (36%). Vodafone Spain, meanwhile, will be left in a somewhat distant third place, with a market share of only around 20%.
Vodafone itself had explored merging its operations with Másmovíl numerous times in the past few years, with analysts suggesting that such a coupling would present less concern to regulators than the tie-up with Orange. Nonetheless, Vodafone has said that it approves of the Orange– Másmovíl merger, saying that it will improve the health of the market and attract additional investment.
Antitrust regulators, however, may be harder to appease. Typically, these regulatory bodies have looked unfavourably at M&A that reduces the number of players in a telecoms market below four and Orange and Másmovíl will likely expect major conditions to be attached by the regulator before the deal is given the green light.
Assuming they receive regulatory approval, Orange and Másmovíl hope to have the deal closed by H2 of 2023.

Are you ever frustrated when someone doesn't seem to know how you're feeling?
Justine MacLean is a University of Manitoba graduate student studying that exact phenomenon.
Entering the first year of her PhD studies in the clinical psychology program under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Cameron, MacLean's research focuses on "expected mindreading" – the assumption that another person should be able to know what you're thinking without verbally communicating.
"Not much is known about expected mindreading, so some of my research involves trying to understand it better by examining its associations to other variables that are also important for relationship quality, such as attachment and self-esteem," said MacLean.
For MacLean, research sometimes works its way into daily life.
Prior to her PhD research, MacLean explored the concept of expected mindreading with her master's thesis, entitled "Expected Mindreading and Romantic Relationship Quality: The Role of Felt Misunderstanding and Attributions". Here, she hypothesized that individuals with higher levels of expected mindreading would be more reactive to misunderstandings in romantic relationships. She assessed relationship quality by identifying the attributions participants made to positive and negative emotions after they imagined feeling understood or misunderstood by their romantic partner in two studies.
The first study evaluated introductory psychology students and showed that participants who felt misunderstood and were higher in expected mindreading were more likely to attribute misunderstandings to their partner's lack of love than those who felt understood or were lower in expected mindreading.
The second study evaluated community members and showed that participants who felt misunderstood and were higher in expected mindreading were more likely to feel less satisfied in a romantic relationship than those who felt understood and were lower in expected mindreading.
Clearly, expected mindreading, as well as the feelings of misunderstanding that may arise from expected mindreading, can hinder relationship success. With the beginning of another school year just around the corner, MacLean believes that these concepts can also apply to new graduate students looking to make new connections with their peers this September.
"Although the population of interest for my research is individuals in romantic relationships, I believe that the findings can be extended to friendships as well. As someone who moved to Winnipeg to start graduate studies, I know how challenging it can be to make connections with peers and meet new friends," she said.
For her peers starting graduate studies at the University of Manitoba this year, MacLean talked about her experience making new friends as an out-of-town graduate student.
"My cohort is a group of seven people, four of whom are not from Winnipeg. I am very fortunate that we hit it off fairly quickly and always have each other's backs," said MacLean.
In addition, MacLean offered a word of advice for her fellow graduate students.
As the school year commences, don't let expected mindreading prevent you from making a new connection. Be open and yourself with your new peers so that you are open to making friendships that can last a lifetime!


Welcome to the KTH Centre for Naval Architecture. Read about our research and education by following the links to the left.
Here is a clip from some experiments performed on May 18, 2016.
KTH Naval Architecture is, in collaboration with Chalmers and Lighthouse, arranging the 15th International Ship Stability Workshop (ISSW2016) in Stockholm June 13-15. The proceedings can be found here .
Jari Krützfeldt, a masters student at the Centre for Naval Architecture is sailng aboard the Swedish icebreaker Oden in the icy waters at the mouth of the Greenland's Petermann Glacier. His mission is to drop 10 deep-water LoTUS probes to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, barely 1,100 km from the North Pole. Read more here here .
Katrin Olausson has presented and successfully defended her licentiate thesis entitled "On Evaluation and Modelling of Human Exposure to Vibration and Shock on Planing High-Speed Craft". Read more about Katrin's research and download the thesis introduction from here .
In December, in the darkest time of the year, KTH students finalized the solar powered boat Hefring. The boat has been developed as part of the course Naval Design in collaboration with students in a similar course at the University of Tokyo. An earlier version of the boat was racing in lake Biwa in Japan in August. The photo shows the KTH team and the boat without solar panels.
New blue water tests have been performed with the KTH Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The test aim was to verify manoeuvring and control performance from the murky waters in Sweden and test new diving techniques to allow for use of more energy efficient propellers in submerged conditions. The tests were very fruitful with many insights on how to develop new manoeuvring techniques. The overall goal is to contribute to research on sustainable monitoring of shallow waters using autonomous submerged vehicles. This an ongoing project with collaboration with other groups at KTH as well as with groups at other universities.
Naval architecture students from KTH and industrial design students from Konstfack have collaborated in exploring new innovative concepts for friendly water drones, i.e. autonomous or remotely operated water vessels for civil applications. Three different themes were explored - public transportation in Stockholm, cleaning the ocean from plastic waste, and sea rescue. Below is one example of the developed concepts.

Depending on where it's grown and when it's harvested, the flavor of ginger can range from spicy warmth to biting heat.
We source our Spice Islands® crystallized ginger from Australia for its tender, less fibrous texture. Small pieces are cooked in a thick syrup, dried, then rolled in sugar.
Crystallized ginger can be eaten right from the jar or used to flavor a variety of foods from curries to ice cream.
Fun Fact: Early spice caravans only carried dried ginger because fresh ginger wouldn't survive the caravan's long journey. So dried ginger became the favorite form in the Middle East and Europe.

Canertinib is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of cancer. It is an irreversible tyrosine-kinase inhibitor with activity against EGFR.
Cangrelor is an intravenous, direct-acting and reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist.It has a rapid onset and offset of action and achieves significantly greater degrees of platelet inhibition compared with clopidogrel.lt is an investigational antiplatelet agent undergoing testing to enable safe bridging of patients undergoing surgery.
Cannabinol is a psychoactive substance cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica or afghanica. It is also a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol. It acts as a weak agonist of the CB1 and CB2 receptors, with lower affinity in comparison to tetrahydrocannabinol.
Canrenone is an aldosterone antagonist with additional antiandrogen properties which is used as a diuretic in Europe. It is a major active metabolite of spironolactone, and is believed to be partially responsible for its effects.
Capecitabine is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. Capecitabine is a prodrug, that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil in the tumor, where it inhibits DNA synthesis and slows growth of tumor tissue.Capecitabine is a prodrug that is selectively tumour-activated to its cytotoxic moiety, fluorouracil, by thymidine phosphorylase.
Capravirine was a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor which reached phase II trials before development was discontinued by Pfizer. Both phase IIb trials which were conducted failed to demonstrate that therapy with capravirine provided any significant advantage over existing triple-drug HIV therapies, and pharmacology studies showed that capravirine may interact with other HIV drugs.
Capric acid is a saturated fatty acid. The term capric acid arises from the Latin "capric" which pertains to goats due to their olfactory similarities. Capric acid occurs naturally in coconut oil and palm kernel oil, as well as in the milk of various mammals and to a lesser extent in other animal fats. It is used in organic synthesis and industrially in the manufacture of perfumes, lubricants, greases, rubber, dyes, plastics, food additives and pharmaceuticals.
Capsaicin is the active component of chili peppers, which are plants belonging to the genus Capsicum. It is an irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Because of the burning sensation caused by capsaicin when it comes in contact with mucous membranes, it is commonly used in food products to give them added spice. It is currently used in topical ointments, as well as a high-dose dermal patch, to relieve the pain of peripheral neuropathy such as post-herpetic neuralgia caused by shingles. It may help to treat ear infections such as otitis.
Capsazepine is a synthetic analogue of capsaicin. It blocks the painful sensation of heat caused by capsaicin which activates the TRPV1 ion channel. It is therefore considered to be a capsaicin antagonist. The TRPV1 channel functions as a pain and temperature sensor in mammalians. Capsazepine blocks only the activation of TRPV1 channels by chemicals but not by other painful stimuli, like heat. In addition to its effects on TRPV1 channels it was also shown to inhibit the cold activated TRPM8 channel, voltage-activated calcium channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It mainly serves as a tool to study the TRPV1 ion channel.

I'm looking for the best garden center you know of in Tennessee or surrounding states. I'm interested in purchasing some tropical and exotic plants as well as fruit trees. I know that these plants aren't typically offered in TN due to the climate, but I was curious if anyone knew of a place that has a nice variety to choose from.
I live between Nashvillen, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, but do not mind to travel. Distance is not an issue.

Pokémon fans who battle online in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y may experience other trainers who could be using an app to cheat.
A program called the "Battle Analyser" is making its way round the internet and has been used by some to screen an opponent - including their entire party, moves and what a rival may choose each turn during the battle itself, as spotted by NeoGAF.
Of course such an app brings out the potential for widely unfair battles and for the community to become unbalanced if it continues.
What are your thoughts on the app and those using it?
I don't understand why people cheat. Where's the satisfaction in winning if it's not earned?

Scrapping the 4% diesel surcharge from 2020 could provide a simple way to offset the impact of the switch to WLTP.
So says TMC as it adds that the move would also help ensure fairer treatment of diesels and help shore up the UK's new car market.
The comments come from the mileage and expenses management specialist in its submission to the Treasury as part of the current review into WLTP.
Announced in October's Budget and open until 17 February 2019, the review looks at whether revisions to Company Car Tax and Vehicle Excise Duty are required as a result of the shift to WLTP.
It follows the introduction of the WLTP fuel and emissions testing cycle for all new car registrations from 1 September 2018, which has been introduced to generate more realistic fuel and CO2 figures. Initial evidence provided by manufacturers suggests that more than 50% of cars will see an increase from NEDC to WLTP of between 10% and 20%, bringing major cost increases for drivers through BiK and for fleets through VED and National Insurance contributions (NICs).
Already, the Government has said it will retain the current CCT and VED structures as it believes these are fundamentally right.
Now, Paul Hollick, MD of TMC, has said that one simple way to adjust the schemes would be to finally scrap the diesel surcharge. Although it was originally meant to be abolished in 2016, the Government retained it and later raised it in the 2017 Budget in the face of an anti-diesel backlash by the media over the emissions scandal.
However, Hollick said that stricter emissions testing has largely solved those problems and that persisting with the surcharge – especially at the 4% level – is unjustified.
He commented: "Today's new fleet diesel cars emit 55 times fewer particulates and nearly seven times less NOx than those being operated when the diesel surcharge was first brought in. The reality is that the surcharge was there to incentivise cleaner diesels and it has already gone a long way to achieving that goal. There seems no justification for holding on to it until Real Driving Emissions-certified models begin to trickle on to the market in future, especially when the Government's own guidelines for clean air zones exempt all current Euro 6 cars from toxicity charges.
TMC's submission to the Treasury will be backed up by data showing that is unrealistic to expect companies to simply drop diesels from their fleets.
Analysis carried out in December on a sample of nearly 20,000 cars out of more than 120,000 live vehicles on TMC's fuel and mileage capture database has showed that 97% are diesels. Average real-world fuel economy for diesel and petrol cars has improved slightly over the last few years, by 6% for diesels and 2% for petrol.
But petrol cars still cost fleets 10-20% more in fuel than diesel models, depending on the price differential at the fuel pump. Petrol cars also typically impose higher tax on both driver and employers because they emit more CO2.

Burrow says, 'See ya next year' after injury
Bengals QB suffers knee injury in loss to Washington
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (9) is consoled by teammates as he is carted off the field during after suffering what appeared to be a serious knee injury during a game against the Washington football team on Sunday in Landover, Md.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Chase Young told college teammate Joe Burrow he loved him and to get well after the top pick's scary knee injury Sunday.
Then, the No. 2 pick and Washington got going on defense, and the quarterback taken first overall 15 years ago led a comeback victory. After Burrow was carted off with a likely season-ending left knee injury, Young and 36-year-old Alex Smith helped Washington beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-9 to stay in the thick of the NFC East race.
"We definitely took over after that," said Young, selected one slot after Burrow in this year's draft. "Sacks started coming. Everything just started falling into place."
Burrow, Cincinnati's franchise quarterback, was injured early in the third quarter when he was hit high and low by two Washington linemen after throwing a pass. His left leg bent awkwardly, and he couldn't put any weight on it, ending his day at 22-of-34 passing for 203 yards and a touchdown.
"That's an injury right there to a team leader that can take the wind out of your sails," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. "It's not fun. He was making improvements every week, and we were getting the offense headed in a direction that we thought was exciting."
While Taylor wouldn't acknowledge it, Burrow's season appears over, too. He tweeted: "Thanks for all the love. Can't get rid of me that easy. See ya next year."
Burrow's departure allowed Smith and Washington (3-7) to seize momentum and move a half-game back of Philadelphia for first place in the NFL's weakest division. Just after Burrow left, Smith — who broke his right tibia and fibula on the same field just over two years ago — led a go-ahead, 55-yard scoring drive that ended with a 3-yard TD pass to Steven Sims.
In his second start since that gruesome injury Nov. 18, 2018, Smith was 17 of 25 for 166 yards and had a pass intercepted after it was tipped late in the first half. This was his first win since that day, wearing the same vintage uniform that doesn't carry any happy memories.
"The last time I wore them, I got them cut off me in an ambulance, so fun to be where I'm at now," Smith said. "Another step, another thing I never thought I'd be doing again. Amazing to get a win."
Washington rookie running back Antonio Gibson ran for 94 yards and a TD.
Burrow's replacement, Ryan Finley, couldn't do much for Cincinnati (2-7-1), which didn't punt once in the first half with the reigning Heisman Trophy winner at the helm. Finley was 3 of 10 for 30 yards and an interception in the final minutes.
"To lose your quarterback is tough, but that's the way it goes," Taylor said. "Next man up and Finley came up, and we've got to help him and I've got to put him in some better situations there to give some confidence early, and we just didn't get it done all the way around."
Cincinnati was without three assistants for COVID-19-related reasons: wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell, cornerbacks coach Steve Jackson and safeties coach Robert Livingston. The team also had assistants out last week at Pittsburgh.
Washington had its first coronavirus positive this week and put defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis on the COVID-19/reserve list but wasn't missing anyone for the game. Ioannidis has been on injured reserve since Sept. 29 and didn't travel for the game last weekend at Detroit.
Washington backup quarterback Dwayne Haskins raised his left fist in the air during the national anthem. Tight end Logan Thomas stayed in the bowels of the stadium for the song, emerging after it was over.
The Bengals played a fourth consecutive game without running back Joe Mixon because of a foot injury. Mixon went on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he'll miss at least the next two.
