Jagersfontein: Dry, dark days ahead without water

by Molefi Sompane, Health-e News
June 14, 2022

The mining town of Jagersfontein in the Free State is facing dry, dark days ahead without water as the situation deteriorates. It is so bad that patients take buckets of water when visiting local clinics.

Water reserves have run dry in the town, and the shortages will peak in less than three months.

Jagersfontein resident, Linda Ntombela, shared her experience with the water situation while visiting a clinic.

"When the cuts occur, we bring along our own. Surely this is enough proof to show that life is going to become even more difficult," she said.

Without water, clinics in an impossible situation

A local clinic manager, who wants to remain anonymous, confirmed that officials ask people to bring their own water.

"This is better than closing down the facility due to cuts. We want to continue helping the community even when the taps are dry," the manager explained.

Mayor of Kopanong Local Municipality, Xolani Tseletsele, admitted that the town was in danger.

 "Water shortages affect all the government institutions and residents. As the municipality, we are watching and ensuring that people don't suffer any further," Tseletsele said.

https://twitter.com/DWS_RSA/status/1405845607596675073

He added: "We are appealing to all the residents of our municipality to use water sparingly. We urge people to use every drop only as needed."

He accused the opposition, the Democratic Alliance, of trying to use the situation to win some "cheap political points". "This is not a time to point fingers but to work together to avoid Day Zero," said the mayor.

Severe constraints

Officials confirmed there isn't enough water for bathing, drinking, laundry, and flushing toilets.

Municipal officials urge residents not to use more than 50 litres per person daily to retain access to dam water. By September, two pump stations will be complete. This will increase capacity. According to reports, local mines have helped with borehole projects to amplify the available water.

The DA has since released a statement on the possibility of taps running dry.

"The reality of a Day Zero with taps running completely dry, such as some residents in Jagersfontein without regular water for seven years, poses an immediate threat. The DA has consequentially started a petition that will demand that the Premier, Sisi Ntombela, urgently intervenes."

DA reports back

"We did an oversight visit to Jagersfontein in the Kopanong Municipality. We were told pensioners pay people to collect buckets of water from a fire hydrant. This is the only source of water for many residents in the town. Residents informed us that this is due to the municipality's financial mismanagement and inability to make payments to Bloemwater, for which they are being punished. The borehole in town is in a state of decay and fenced off," read the statement.

The MEC of the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), William Bulwane, admitted that there are shortages and called for the public to spare water.

"To save services and lives, our plans prioritise clinics, schools, and pensioners. We are working with the municipality to ensure that our people continue to get water, no matter the situation," Bulwane added. - Health-e News

We've just started the learning process so bear with me. We will be selling our 2001 Alpenlite fiver and my research has shown that we're pretty limited to older, 80's models, airstreams in this area. A new one is out of the question.
My question is, is it possible to change the older toilets in the airstreams for a china toilet?
Welcome to the forums. There are two search links above. Pick the top one to search the entire forum. Enter "china toilet" and you'll find 30+ threads that mention them.
Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll want to stick with one MADE for RVs.
white ,made exceptionally well ,china bowl for rv use ,comes in high and low profile. we have one in our 60 airstream ,real happy with it.
That's great news, thanks. Now to find the airstream; wish us luck.

New Ambergris Stadium Officially Inaugurated to Promote Sports in San Pedro
/Solani Graniel
The long-awaited inauguration of the San Pedro Ambergris Stadium on Ambergris Caye took place on Sunday, May 21, 2017, with much fanfare . Residents gathered to witness the cutting of the ribbon of this new project and wasted no time in making use of it. Pastor Clive Welch opened the ceremony with a short prayer.
Mayor Daniel Guerrero expressed his sincere gratitude to those who have encouraged, promoted and participated in the sport of football: "From the San Pedro Football Field to Sacachispas and now the Hon. Louis Sylvester Sports Complex. It was from that old field that local football celebrities were born. They are local celebrities that now adorn our local hall of fame such as: Dimas, Spanish, Pancho Verde, Pelé, Steve, Chapo, Jaime, Panny Arceo, Chapin and more. Local football teams were: Los Atleticos, Espanoles, Los Diablos, Caribena, La Mafia, Ramon's, Veterans, Mario Boys, Dolphins, my team Fido Rangers and much more."
"It was those footballers who inspired our area of football which has brought us here today," continued Mayor Daniel Guerrero. "A part of history, this stadium is dedicated to those footballers who came before this could be made possible."
Other guest speakers were Area Representative Hon. Manuel Heredia, Project Director of BIL Kristy Mastry, Deputy Prime Minister Patrick Faber and Councilor in charge of Culture, Youth, Sports, and Leisure Sports Hector Tito Alamilla who all gave their view of this project and gratitude to everyone who made it possible.
Setbacks in construction pushed the inauguration almost two years after groundbreaking of construction in September 2015. The $4Mil, state-of-the-art multi-purpose sporting arena was designed and constructed to transform sports professionalism on the island and includes synthetic turf, stage lighting, VIP area/media booth, bleachers for 1,500 capacity, concession stands, lockers and bathroom facilities.
A total of four soccer matches were played, along with entertainment provided by Yaka's Elite Dancers and Rompe Raja.

The Sharing of Recipes: Shortbread.
I thought these two yummy family recipe variations for Shortbread would be a perfect fit now that we're into the month of December. Shortbread is a fairly common cookie, named for its crumbly texture. I found it interesting that originally recipes for shortbread contained 3 parts oatmeal, rather than plain white flour - as is traditional in today's "modern day" recipes. Sometimes people do still add a bit of ground rice or cornflour into the recipe to add a bit of the original texture back in. Interesting!
Personally I prefer the Cashew Shortbread version, although I know Grandma was fond of the Scotch Shortbread. I don't think cooking with liquors is nearly as popular as it used to be. No matter which variation you choose - I hope you do enjoy!

Q: Correct way to configure multiple routers in rental apartments for privacy / usability I have a set of six vacation rental apartments in the same building that all share a common router in the main office that serves internet to all the apartments.
Each apartment has its own individual wireless router which is connected to the main router in the office via ethernet. Each individual router is configured as an AP and the main router in the office performs DHCP for the whole network. The system works okay with some problems:

*

*Devices connected to the same AP often can't see each other. For example AirDrop devices or internet games become unusable for my guests.

*Devices not connected to the same AP sometimes appear in all the apartments. For example a guest's PC appears in another guest's list of networked devices.
What I would prefer is that each apartment is "firewalled" from the other apartments so that guests cannot see one another's devices; but within each apartment, all local devices are reliably visible to each other.
The main router in the office is a Vodafone Station Revolution and the APs are little Intellinet devices.
What is the best way to configure my network to do what I want?

Edit: turns out the network is set up even stranger than I realized.
Internet arrives at the Vodafone Station Revolution. From here is connected a WNAP-6305 wireless gateway configured as a wireless AP that serves two of the apartments on two different SSIDs. From there are connected four of the Intellinet wireless APs each serving one apartment each.
I was able to resolve my privacy problem by enabling SSID isolation on all of the devices. So far this seems to solve that problem. However I still have the issue of devices often not being able to see one another within a single SSID.

A: For problem 1 it would help to know the exact model of the Intellinet router.
As it seems that the only router made by Intellinet is the
Wireless 300N Dual-Band Router,
I will assume that this is the case.
You should connect the Ethernet cable to the Intellinet WAN port and
enable the DHCP function on each Intellinet. See
this answer
of mine for understanding LAN-to-WAN.
This will make every apartment into a separate network, and all devices
should be better separated and should see each other.
Unless you physically isolate the apartments, every wireless device will show up
on every wireless computer within range, as this is how it works
(that does not mean that it can connect).

A: It all depends on the type of routers you are using or rather the features your routers are offering. (I assume all your devices are "internet routers" for end-consumer and not "real routers").
If your main router (the one that is connected to your ISP) has VLAN capabilities you just need to configure you're the ports to the APs (your other "routers") properly so that they can talk with you're ISP but not each other.
If your "main router" doesn't have VLAN, you can't use it's DHCP function to give IP addresses to the end devices connected to the "sub routers". For this, you have to configure your sub routers as "routers" and not as "APs" and configure them as well as your main router correctly so each sub router has it's own "private network". There are several solutions for this depending on the available features of your devices.

Japan has long harbored hope for urban mining — the extraction of rare and precious metals from discarded electronics. Now the resource-poor country has a globally recognized brand — the Olympics — to help give impetus to the movement.
Earlier this month, the committee partnered with NTT Docomo and local governments to start collecting old cellphones, smartphones and game consoles.
The committee, along with the Tokyo metropolitan government, which had already begun collecting discarded gadgets for the project, hopes to make about 5,000 medals out of recycled gold, silver and bronze for the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics.
These medals will come in at 10kg of gold, 1,230kg of silver and 736kg of bronze, if the 2012 London Olympics is any guide.
The committee is shooting for spring 2019 to gather about 8 tons of gold, silver and bronze. This is about four times more than what will eventually end up in the medals; it also takes into account the loss of metal during the processing stage.
Komei Harada, an executive research adviser at the National Institute for Materials Science, or NIMS, is a proponent of urban mining. He said he hopes the Olympics creates more awareness of the sector's potential.
NIMS on April 23 unveiled medals made with gold and other metals recycled from mobile phones and other electronic devices.
According to NIMS estimates from 2008, Japan had accumulated 6,800 tons of gold that could be recycled, about 16% of global reserves at the time. The country also had about 60,000 tons of recyclable silver, about 22% of global reserves. According to these estimates, Japan had the world's largest urban gold and silver deposits.
The country also had the second most urban copper deposits, at 38 million tons, about 8% of global reserves.
The potential gold and silver deposits are equivalent to about three years' worth of global demand.
How close to reality these estimates are depends on several factors — including actually doing the work of collecting discarded gadgets and extracting metals from them. Market value also plays a role.
But the numbers paint a picture of a resource-rich Japan.
Japan is also sitting on vast urban deposits of rare earths. According to NIMS, Japan had enough recyclable lithium to feed global demand for seven years. Lithium is a rare metal essential for today's rechargeable batteries and other products.
There are also reserves of platinum and other platinum group elements that could satisfy global demand for six years. Platinum group elements are used to make automotive exhaust emission control systems and other devices.
Meanwhile, Japan's urban deposits of rare earths like neodymium, which is used in magnets, are estimated to be equivalent to two and a half years' worth of global demand.
One benefit of urban mining is that mobile phones and other electronic devices are purer sources of metals than natural ores. Metals make up 10% of the weight of gadgets. Most of these are precious metals like copper. Rare earths make up only 1% or so of a device's weight, but even this is higher than what would be found in a natural ore, Harada said.
Let's consider gold, which makes up 0.03% of our electronic gadgets. This doesn't sound like much, and it's not, but a ton of natural ore yields only 3 to 5 grams of gold. In percentage terms, that's 0.0003%.
As you might have guessed, a lot of the ores that get mined end up going back into the earth as waste. Some of this is toxic and some of it is radioactive.
Making use of urban deposits is expected to reduce mining industry's adverse impact on the environment.
Toru Okabe, a professor at the University of Tokyo who is familiar with metal recycling, said that although extracting metals from electronics costs more than working with ore, it is important to do urban mining for the environment's sake.
Still, for the profit-driven private sector, new technologies are needed to lower the costs of urban mining. Right now, only a few precious metals, such as gold, can make money when taken out of mobiles and home appliances.
Perhaps the 2020 Olympics will put urban mining and its potential in the global spotlight, leading all of us, consumers and industries alike, to become better recyclers.
At least, that is what Harada is hoping for.
I read this great article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Japan has begun collecting old mobile phones and other small devices to create medals for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. and is located at https://grendz.com/pin/4904/.

Before finding this site, I didn't normally associate the Prisoner's Dilemma or other questions of Decision Theory with the field of Artificial Intelligence. After all, when writing software I don't have to negotiate to get the program to cooperate with me; rather, it obeys simply by the nature of its function.
So then my next thought was the possibility of autonomous agents needing to negotiate with each other. This could be multiple components of a superintelligent construct, or possibly multiple different superintelligent AIs that share resources of the planet between them. In this scenario, it would be important for the AIs to cooperate whenever they have conflicting tasks that use the same resources.
At that point, it occurred to me that the problem of programs concurrently requiring the same resource have been known to Computer Science for decades, known as the Dining Philosophers Problem. (The analogy of philosophers "only able to eat or think" reflects the historically low opinion computer scientists have for philosophers).
Of course, the philosophers in this analogy merely represent non-autonomous programs or execution threads, and not agents, but I think an analogous issue could still appear in the real world. For example, if two agents simultaneously arrived to a resource they both require, CDT would conclude both agents should attempt to obtain the resource at the same time, causing deadlock.
Officially, the Dining Philosophers Problem has "no general solution", but current operating systems have certain approaches to mitigate it, either with a global hierarchy of resources or a "waiter" implemented as a mutex.
On the surface, it would seem that a supervising operating system across all AGIs would be a trivial solution for their mutual cooperation. Similar to the Dining Philosophers Problem, a kind of mutex would be used to regulate autonomous agents across the network, a process currently known as the Internet of Things. In fact, this kind of operating system could be a cheeky way to solve almost any Newcomblike problem.
Of course, this doesn't always work in practice, because the AI also has to consider humans as agents in the same simulation, who are both unable and unwilling to be governed in the same operating system. So instead, the AI has to model other agents decisions using something like FDT or UDT.
So in the situation where the Dining Philosophers are autonomous agents, how would FDT resolve the problem? I'm not very experienced in the field, but from what I read I would guess that each philosopher would understand the tasks that the other one needs to do, because they can assume that they all have copies of the same function. So, the philosophers would defer to whichever task is of greater importance, or has a more pressing time limit, or takes shorter time, etc.
On a final note, I start to wonder what it would be like if a computer had no operating system at all, but instead relied entirely on Decision Theory. An OS is basically a monarch of the computer, dictating an organization for programs who can't decide for themselves. But if programs were autonomous, then a computer can essentially run on "anarchy" with each execution thread carrying their own Bible of FDT.
Vladimir_Nesov 7 Aug 2022 1:47 UTC
The processes need to agree on a shared solution algorithm. If the algorithm does consequentialist decision making, it needs to be able to anticipate how a possible joint policy it might suggest to all processes works out (so unless it's some flavor of FDT, it's going to be very confused by what's going on). But in general it could be any algorithm that does anything. The toy example of cooperation in PD can be scaled up to running an algorithm instead of following (C, C), as long as that algorithm (but not its output) is as obvious to both processes as (C, C), as an option for what they might want to do.
So if there is some well-known algorithm, say harsanyi(X, Y), whose adjudication the processes X and Y would predictably abide by, they can each separately verify that fact about the other with reasoning about programs, run the algorithm, and then blindly follow its instructions, secure in the knowledge that the other did the same.

What a funny and fascinating question. I wish I could answer it and I hope somebody else who understands the decision theory better is able to formalize the problem and do so, if it's as cool as I'm imagining it is and not somehow a trivial or incoherent thing to ask.

Valedictory: Sacrifice and Financial Success
by Rev. Robert Sirico • June 22, 2011
Earlier this month, I spoke at the commencement of Trinity School at Meadow View, a truly impressive private high school school in Falls Church, Va. Most impressive was the valedictory address given by the graduating senior Beau Lovdahl, who is on his way to Princeton in the fall. The story he relates here underscores the philosophy of the Acton Institute in many ways and I wanted to share it with PowerBlog readers. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Beau Lovdahl
Valedictory Address
Mr. Zwerneman; Father Sirico; Trinity faculty; parents, family and friends of the Class of 2011; I thank you for making this day a reality. I would like to congratulate my fellow classmates for finally completing six years of hard work in the classrooms and on the athletic fields. I would especially like to thank our loving and supportive parents for helping us and holding us accountable to get through our schooling. Finally, I would like to thank our faculty for giving us an excellent education. Now I would like to give a brief history lesson on a man that has inspired me the past seven months of my life.
On June 6th, 1884, a talented electrical engineer by the name of Nikola Tesla arrived in New York City from Serbia. All he had was a letter of recommendation from his former boss to Thomas Edison, with the words: "I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man." So Tesla began to work for Edison Machine Works company. He quickly rose from working on simple engineering matters to working on the company's biggest problems. Edison offered Tesla 50,000 dollars to redesign the company's inefficient direct current generators. This sum was worth 1.1 million dollars in today's money. The very next year Tesla had redesigned the generators and asked Edison for his bonus. To this Edison replied, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor," thus refusing the promised payment.
Having been refused a raise in pay, Tesla resigned his position and left the company. Tesla was forced to dig ditches to make ends meet. Yet while he was doing this he began planning a new system of power distribution, one that was based on alternating current, not Edison's direct current. In 1888 Tesla showcased an alternating current induction motor to the American Institute for Electrical Engineering. This device would be the answer to the world's energy needs. Tesla subsequently was hired by the industrialist George Westinghouse. Westinghouse saw great potential in Tesla's alternating current technology for long distance power distribution. Once Tesla and Westinghouse began work, a "War of the Currents" erupted between Westinghouse and alternating current on the one hand, and Edison and direct current on the other.
Despite being slandered in a propaganda campaign by Edison, Tesla and Westinghouse proved victorious when they won the competition to power the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 with alternating current. Then Tesla designed and built an alternating current power plant at Niagara Falls that successfully powered the city of Buffalo over 15 miles away. Tesla's alternating current proved far more efficient than Edison's direct current, and it allowed power to be sent over long distances. This system of power is still used to this day. The way it works is that alternating current electricity is generated by a power plant. The electricity is then stepped up to a very high voltage that allows it to be carried long distances with very little power loss. Then local transformers stepped the voltage down where it can be used to light lamps or heat homes. Thus power is efficiently distributed from the power plant to the common man.
The victory of the War of the Currents cost Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company a great deal since they had to overcome Edison's propaganda campaign. By 1897 the company was near bankruptcy. So Tesla tore up his royalties contract, freeing Westinghouse from having to pay Tesla for the use of his technology. Had Tesla not done this, he could have been the world's first billionaire. Yet for the good of the Westinghouse Company and his vision of free energy for the world, Tesla sacrificed this fortune.
Tesla then moved to Colorado Springs where he began research on the wireless transmission of energy. In the 2006 movie The Prestige, Tesla's assistant shows Hugh Jackman's character a field of light bulbs that are not connected to any wires. The light bulbs are then illuminated, being powered wirelessly by a generator 15 miles away! This event actually occurred in 1899. After much research in Colorado, Tesla moved back to the east coast to Long Island, where he would test his theories of wireless energy on a larger scale. With $150,000 of funding from the industrialist J.P. Morgan, Tesla constructed Wardenclyffe Tower. Here Tesla hoped to transmit energy across the Atlantic to Paris. Yet four years later, Guglielmo Marconi made a radio transmission across the Atlantic and was credited with the invention of radio using 17 of Tesla's patents. As a result, J.P. Morgan saw no need to continue funding Tesla's work, since he believed Marconi had achieved what Tesla was trying to do. Tesla failed to convince Morgan that his research was for something much greater than radio. So in 1905 Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower project died and his dream of a large scale test of the wireless transmission of energy was shattered.
Tesla spent the rest of his life doing research in the fields of radio, remote control and electro-mechanically powered aircraft. He was also reported to have been working with the British government on a "Death Ray" but he never completed a prototype. The Death Ray would have been some sort of particle beam that would charge particles to a very high voltage and then shoot them at enemy armies or airplanes. Tesla hoped that this weapon would be a deterrent to war.
Tesla lived the last 10 years of his life alone in the New Yorker Hotel. He lived on a small pension from his homeland in Yugoslavia and worked on his research. Many thought he was insane. He was reclusive and was probably afflicted by an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The modern world that he helped build had forgotten him. He died alone in 1934 in his hotel room. His belongings were seized by the federal government, and his remains were sent back to Serbia.
This was an ignominious end to such a remarkable life. Yet by no means should we consider his life a tragedy. Tesla's legacy was tremendous. All electricity from power plants today is generated and brought to us by Tesla's innovations. After his death, the Supreme Court upheld Tesla as the true inventor of radio. He invented the spark plug device in car engines, and Tesla's work in the wireless transmission of power brought us inventions such as the Tesla coil, which is used today to generate artificial lightning, and tuned circuits which form the basis of wireless communications today. He exemplified the indomitable nature of the human spirit.
Tesla also can show us how we should view the world and the life that we graduates are about to enter. First, Tesla demonstrated us how we should view money. Second, he showed us how we should pursue our goals and interests. Thirdly, he showed us why we should pursue our goals and interests.
Tesla never saw money as an intrinsic good. He did not work for the sake of money but he used the money earned to further his work. He once said,
Money does not represent such a value as men have placed upon it. All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life.
He used money as a means to the end of advancing his research. He did not use his research as a means to the end of gaining money. Money was of course necessary to all his work and it was the lack of money that prevented him from bringing many of his ideas to fruition. Tesla could have been the world's first billionaire had he not sacrificed his fortune for the good of his company's success and the furthering of his technology throughout the world. Rather, he sought greater things than money, and only used money as a means to pursuing greater goods.
Tesla pursued his ideas and interests tirelessly despite being criticized or forgotten. After resigning from Edison's company, Tesla conceived of today's power distribution system while he was digging ditches in New York. Before working for Westinghouse, Tesla tried to start his own company, but his investors would not fund research in his idea of an alternating current system. So instead of giving in, Tesla went back to digging ditches. In his later years, Tesla was forgotten and deemed a mad scientist. He continued his research despite this. He did not work solely for the recognition of others. Instead he worked with resolve for something greater. As the Gospel of Mark says, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life."
Tesla wanted men to live better lives through the use of his technology. Tesla's goal in the long distance distribution of his electricity and the wireless transmission of energy was to bring men closer together in friendly international relations. Even the goal of his Death Ray was to make a weapon so potent that wars would be put to an end. While these goals may sound cliché, they were what drove Tesla to take part in the creation of the modern world. Tesla showed us that a genuine pursuit of one's interests for that sake of interest itself and for the sake of the betterment of mankind will lead to great things. He also showed that one should be ready to sacrifice things such as financial success and fame in order to achieve one's goals. As we go off to start our independent lives we should ask ourselves two things. First, what truly interests us? And second, why pursue that interest? The answer to these questions should provide us with the motivation to pursue our interests with resolve. Tesla has showed us that pursuing one's interest for a great good will lead one to complete a meaningful life. He found his answer in the pursuit of happiness for the betterment of mankind. The question is, where will we find ours?
May God be with us as we enter upon our life long pursuit.
Rev. Robert Sirico
Rev. Robert A. Sirico received his Master of Divinity degree from the Catholic University of America, following undergraduate study at the University of Southern California and the University of London. During his studies and early ministry, he experienced a growing concern over the lack of training religious studies students receive in fundamental economic principles, leaving them poorly equipped to understand and address today's social problems. As a result of these concerns, Fr. Sirico co-founded the Acton Institute with Kris Alan Mauren in 1990. As president of the Acton Institute, Fr. Sirico lectures at colleges, universities, and business organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad. His writings on religious, political, economic, and social matters are published in a variety of journals, including: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the London Financial Times, the Washington Times, the Detroit News, and National Review. Fr. Sirico is often called upon by members of the broadcast media for statements regarding economics, civil rights, and issues of religious concern, and has provided commentary for CNN, ABC, the BBC, NPR, and CBS' 60 Minutes, among others. In April of 1999, Fr. Sirico was awarded an honorary doctorate in Christian Ethics from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and in May of 2001, Universidad Francisco Marroquin awarded him an honorary doctorate in Social Sciences. He is a member of the prestigious Mont Pèlerin Society, the American Academy of Religion, and the Philadelphia Society, and is on the Board of Advisors of the Civic Institute in Prague. Father Sirico also served on the Michigan Civil Rights Commission from 1994 to 1998. He is also currently serving on the pastoral staff of Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Fr. Sirico's pastoral ministry has included a chaplaincy to AIDS patients at the National Institute of Health and the recent founding of a new community, St. Philip Neri House in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Love and Math
Photo by Elizabeth Lippman
When you think of love, mathematics may be the last thing that comes to mind, but mathematician Edward Frenkel is on a quest to change all that. With his recent book, Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality, Frenkel sets out to instill others with his passion for a subject that many people shy away from.
"There is room for the spiritual in math, just as there is room for magic," he told Chris Carter, the creator of the X-Files, in an interview at the Los Angeles Public Library. "And I want us all to awaken to this hidden reality."
For Frenkel, mathematics is filled with elegance and beauty, just like art, music and poetry. And just like those traditionally artistic endeavors, mathematics contains infinite possibilities, an unbounded imagination that allows us to move beyond the conventional and toward the ultimate truths of the universe.
Galileo said, "The laws of Nature are written in the language of mathematics." Like Galileo, Frenkel sees mathematics as a universal language, one that describes how the world works. Lurking behind the shapes and curves of the universe, mathematics ties together everything, from the smallest particles to the largest stars.
In addition, these universal truths of mathematics cannot be distorted—unlike our perceptions of the physical world—because they are entirely objective. More importantly, mathematical formulas and theorems transcend religion, race and gender, and will contain the same meaning a hundred or a thousand years from now.
Frenkel hopes that the universality of mathematics—one that highlights our interconnectedness—will help people appreciate and marvel at the beauty and harmony of its formulas, equations and ideas. This love of mathematics, in turn, can invigorate our love for the world and each other.
Edward Frenkel, Ph.D. is Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.

The Kingdom of Swaziland has the world's highest HIV/ AIDS prevalence rates, with approximately 31% of the population being infected. In 2010 it was estimated that there was close to 200 000 orphaned children in the Kingdom due to HIV/AIDS. Many more children are now without a parent and live with extended family that already has stretched resources. Unemployment is high, approximately 39% of Swazi's are without a job, which rises considerably to 53% among youth. About 66% of the population is unable to meet basic food needs, while 43% live in chronic poverty. Children are particularly vulnerable and often are in desperate need of help and support. You have the valuable opportunity to assist, motivate and encourage the nutritional development of the preschool children who attend our Neighbourhood Care Points (NCPs).
Whether you are looking to gain experience to add to your CV, need to fulfill University requirements or just have experience to contribute, we like to make our internships as beneficial for each intern as possible. That's why we want to know in advance if you have a special interests, expertise or goals to achieve whilst your completing your internship with us.
An intern, although also not being paid, is different from a Gap-year volunteer as they are expected to bring some knowledge and/or experience in the area they are working in. There are fewer internship posts available so competition for these is higher. Interns will be working at a more career focused strategic level and developing local capacity to work effectively and with meaning, as well as gaining valuable hands-on, practical experience during their placement. Interns are also expected to take on more responsibility and to create their own goals and seek activities to be involved in or lead. They will also have a mentor assigned to them to guide them during the internship.
will make long term impacts.
You will have the opportunity to assist our team with current research studies, monitor the growth (BMI) of the children we care for, observe their learning behaviours and make reccomendations for their nutritional advancement.
* Please note that the activities listed above are based on availbility and may vary by season. These are samples of activities that are interns are likely to participate in.

Dublin, History, Ireland
'The 18th Royal Irish shot at everything'
If one photograph sums up the complexity of modern Irish history, it's this one.
It was likely taken on Saturday April 29, 1916, the sixth and final day of the abortive Easter Rising in Dublin.
In frame are British Army soldiers, who've erected a barricade at the junction of Moore Street and Great Britain Street (the present-day Parnell Street) in the north inner city.
The soldiers are firing on a number of houses 200 metres down the street, where the leaders of the insurgency are making a last stand. Within hours of the photograph being taken a nurse and rebel, Elizabeth O'Farrell, would approach the barricade bearing a white flag, carrying terms of surrender.
Not before casualties were inflicted however – among civilians and combatants. One rebel, James Kavanagh, later recalled: "The 18th Royal Irish…shot at everything that moved in the street, and at such short-range their shooting was deadly. I saw three men attempting to cross the street killed by three shots, 1, 2, 3, like that. It's a wonder they did not shoot [a] little girl but they would surely have shot [her] mother".
Elizabeth O'Farrell
Pic: NLI
The picture is one of a number of similar shots taken during Easter week, images of young men with rifles crouching behind cars, or debris, or beer barrels.
What's interesting about the Moore Street image is the nationality of the sniping solders.
The troops facing and firing down Moore Street are members of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment. Most of the regiment were Dubliners, many of whom came from the tenements of the north inner city, close to where this picture was taken.
So we see young Irishmen firing on young Irishmen, directed (to the right of the picture) by a British army officer.
In this instance (and many others in Easter week) the combat was carried out by Irishmen on both sides – the rebels who believed they were taking a stand for freedom and the soldiers whose army paychecks fed large families struggling to survive in the Dublin tenements of the time.
Irish history, like Oscar Wilde's truth, is rarely pure and never simple.
In the years following the Rising such divisions would persist. After Ireland achieved independence in 1921 the status of the Irishmen who fought with the British Army, and who died in their thousands in the First World War, fell far in the public estimation.
In recent years this has changed but remembering these men – some of whom fought their neighbours on the burning streets of Dublin a century ago – remains controversial in places, even now.
As Ireland moves in the coming weeks to commemorate those who planned and effected the Easter Rising, should the half-dozen soldiers firing down Moore Street – and the thousands of their countrymen in similar uniforms – be remembered too, for good or for ill?

Exiles – from Oscar Wilde to Oscar Wao
The Irish have a diaspora.
More than that – the Irish have The Diaspora. It's not just a history or a culture or another word for 'emigrants'. It's far (and away) more.
We even have a Minister for The Diaspora, who this week represented us (them?) in New York. (We don't let our diaspora vote, mind you, but that's another matter.)
From primary school upwards we're taught about this phenomenon of Irish exile. From the fifth century St Brendan in a currach on the freezing Atlantic, to the 17th-century Flight of the Earls, to the coffin ships departing Cobh in the 1840s.
And on. From those who left in the lean 1930s to the departees of the stagnant '50s and '80s – right up to the most recent wave of emigrants, those who left following the economic crash of the late 2000s.
The story of The Diaspora isn't confirmed to history, academic reviews or news stories. It informs a large part of the national character. It may also go some way to explaining the Irish people's reputation for melancholy.
It's also a narrative that's wound its way through Irish culture and society, a subject in folk memory, books, poetry and song.
Living in Ireland then you'd be forgiven for thinking, at times, that we're the only country with a diaspora.
Not so, of course. And if you need reminding of this I recommend a novel by Dominican writer Junot Diaz, that I came across (and tore through) last week.
The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao taught me about a number of things: the often-tortuous post-colonial history of the Dominican Republic; enough street Spanish to eat, drink and drive my way around Santo Domingo; multiple details of the Watchmen comic book series; the lows of high-school life in 1980s Paterson, New Jersey, and more besides.
It also taught me that the Dominican Republic has a diaspora which in many ways out-Irishes even the Irish one, when it comes to the wrench of exile and the push-pull lure of return.
In terms of emigration the two countries have a lot in common. Seismic social events of the past 150 or so years – a Famine in our case, a brutal 20th century dictatorial regime in the DR's – catapulted huge sections of our peoples to a common destination, the United States.
And in each case emigration's two-way street has seen the phenomenon of the returning emigrant, or at least their returning dollars. (It's no surprise then that Diaz's novel reaches its harrowing conclusion with the return of the prodigal Dominican son.)
The Irish had an Oscar Wilde, a Dublin-born writer who left to achieve fame and, ultimately, infamy in London. Diaz presents us with Oscar Wao, the overweight New Jersey nerdboy whose descent is intricately linked to his outsider status.
As post-colonial nations both the DR and Ireland are dealing with the often-blinding historical hangover that our histories force upon us.
Oscar Wao
But Diaz suggests something more at play, hinting that a fuku, a hex, may lie upon the Dominican diaspora, forcing and following them across the Atlantic to the east coast of the United States.
Oscar Wao finally breaks free of this, at great cost, as Diaz offers up a tragic, hopeful ending to his novel.
Have the Irish a fuku of their own – a jinx born from dire domestic circumstances that's forced emigration and its rendering effect upon the country?
After centuries has this finally been dispelled? The existence of a Diaspora minister would suggest not.
Perhaps there's something we can learn from the brief, wondrous life of Oscar Wao.

Place me up in Monto
Luke Kelly.
I'M not sure if there's a statue of Pete Seeger in his hometown.
But I know there isn't one of Luke Kelly in his.
The Dubliners' singer, long regarded as one of the important performers in Irish music, died 30 years ago today.
Kelly did more than most to burnish an idea of Dublin and Irishness in the public consciousness.
And yet you'll search in vain for any likeness, sculpture or bust of the musician in his hometown.
Contrast this to the bronze figure of Phil Lynott on Harry Street, seen by thousand of passing pedestrians, Dubliners and visitors every day.
Or the litany of other statues that dot the city, from dawdling literary heavyweights (Wilde and Joyce) to mythical cattle rustlers (Cú Chulainn) to alleged prostitutes (Molly Malone, and I admit that's up for debate).
If Official Ireland can see fit to maintain a (pretty regal) statue of Prince Albert (look him up, or up to him) surely they can do something for Luke Kelly?
Pretty regal.
Statute of Prince Albert, Leinster House, Dublin.
There's no bust of Gabriel Byrne in his hometown either, although the Irish government did see fit to honour the actor with a cultural ambassador role a few years back.
The Dubliner emerged last weekend to criticise the government for "paying lip service to the arts". "I don't think they really care about it," he stated, bluntly.
And correctly too, if the foot-dragging on a proper commemoration for Luke Kelly is any indication.
We've been here before of course. A decade ago Dublin's city councillors voted to erect a statue…but nothing happened.
In the interim the boom, which saw just about everything and anything built in the capital, came and went. And still no movement on the statue.
It popped up on the agenda again last year, but there's still no word on funding, or an actual site (surely somewhere close to Kelly's home in the north inner city, or the nearby, fabled Monto area there he sang of?)
And all the while the culture of music and song that Luke Kelly lived, sang and even brought to the Ed Sullivan Show is flogged mercilessly, more often than not to sell booze. (To be fair The Dubliners weren't averse to pushing the beer connection themselves.)
Across the Atlantic this week tributes have poured in for Pete Seeger, a performer who, over a 70 year career, came to epitomise that country's folk music. There's no Irish equivalent of Seeger but, in terms of influence and talent, a claim could certainly be made for Kelly.
Ireland is a country where, it was claimed this week, €2bn can be spent on a sweetheart deal for municipal workers.
A tiny fraction of that would erect a statue to Luke Kelly and put him – as he sang himself – "home for while in me own country".

For the protection, it applies ion-strengthened glass and oleophobic coating. The touchscreen itself is very responsive and fun to use. It supports multitouch and will make your job much easier.
The iPhone 6 uses iOS 8, but it can be upgraded to iOS 8.3. It packs Apple A8 chipset with Dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone (ARM v8-based) CPU. PowerVR GX6450 (quad-core graphics) GPU and 1 GB of RAM are also included to back up its performance. It's most likely one of the fastest smartphones available in the market. The phone is faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 5S. The manufacturer claims a 25% boost in speed. The 4G LTE connectivity will help you increasae your productivity. Storage department is satisfactory. The iPhone 6 offers 16/64/128 GB internal memory (optional).

Elor Azaria, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier who shot dead an incapacitated Palestinian attacker, has been found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. The verdict has divided public opinion, a schism reflected in the Israeli dailies. Few dispute the fact that Mr. Azaria shot and killed a wounded Palestinian; however, there are clear differences in opinion about whether there should be accountability for Azaria's actions and, if so, who should bear the responsibility.


President Donald Trump went after a familiar foe at his campaign rally Thursday night in the middle of railing against the ongoing investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, saying "what the prosecutor should be looking at are Hillary Clinton's 33,000 emails."
Trump's line attacking his opponent from last year's campaign elicited a roaring "lock her up" chant from the Huntington, West Virginia crowd at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena, reminiscent of last year's contentious campaign.
"They should be looking at the paid Russian speeches and the owned Russian companies. Or let them look at the uranium she sold that is now in the hands of very angry Russians," Trump said referring to the former secretary of state.
"The Russia story is a total fabrication," Trump added. "It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics."
Earlier in the day Thursday, the Wall Street Journal revealed that special counsel Robert Mueller had impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate allegations of Russia's interference in the 2016 elections.
However, the president continued to denounce allegations that his campaign worked hand-in-hand with the Kremlin in front of thousands of supporters. "Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign -- there never were," the president said.
"We didn't win because of Russia, we won because of you," Trump said, gesturing toward the crowd. "We won because we totally outworked the other side. We won because millions of patriotic Americans voted to take back their country."
Trump then asked the crowd if they'd "seen any Russians in West Virginia or Ohio or Pennsylvania?"
"Are there any Russians here tonight?" Trump asked. "They can't beat us at the voting booths, so they are trying to cheat you out of the future that you want. They are trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us but most importantly demeaning to our country and to our constitution."

Inspired Announces Acquisition of Sportech Lotteries
Written by iGamingFuture Staff Reporter
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (Inspired), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems and solutions, announced today that it has acquired Sportech Lotteries, Inc. ("Sportech Lotteries"), a subsidiary of Sportech PLC ("Sportech"). The principal asset of Sportech Lotteries is the lottery systems contract to provide online and retail lottery services, as well as the upcoming launch of Sportech's iLottery solution, to Loteria Electronica Internacional Dominica S.A. ("LEIDSA") of the Dominican Republic. The current lottery systems contract with LEIDSA had been scheduled to run until March 9, 2025. Concurrent with closing of the acquisition of Sportech Lotteries, Inspired and LEIDSA extended the lottery systems contract through March 9, 2035.
This marks Inspired's first acquisition in the lottery sector, further diversifying its business model on a product, customer and geographic level. It is expected to provide additional growth opportunities in North America, a key strategic geography for the Company, bolster the Company's positioning in the growing iLottery market and enhance the Company's ability to offer a platform with a full turnkey lottery/iGaming solution to new customers in the future, in line with its cross-platform approach.
"This acquisition accelerates our entry into the lottery business, where, as a management team, we have extensive collective experience and long-standing relationships," said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired. "We expect to build on Sportech's established lottery supply contract to increase our scale and scope within the lottery and gaming ecosystem. We are excited to enhance the value proposition we provide to operators and consumers as we seek to realize on significant opportunities in the sector."
Weil continued, "LEIDSA is one of the largest and most successful lotteries in Latin America. Beyond the immediate potential in the Dominican Republic, we anticipate that the lottery systems platform can be further enhanced in order to accelerate the path of our strategic objectives in the worldwide online and retail lottery market."
Inspired acquired Sportech Lotteries for US$12.5 million on a cash free/debt free basis, subject to certain customary adjustments and up to US$2.0 million of potential additional earnout consideration. The upfront consideration represents a multiple of approximately 4.0x Sportech Lotteries' unaudited Adjusted EBITDA1 of US$3.1 million for the LTM ended June 30, 2021, and 3.5x Sportech Lotteries' unaudited (pre-COVID) Adjusted EBITDA1 of US $3.5 million for calendar year 2019. This acquisition was funded with cash from Inspired's balance sheet.
LEIDSA is a private lottery operator in the Dominican Republic that has offered electronic lottery products (draw games, Keno, etc.) as well as a host of other services since the lottery's inception in 1997. In conjunction with the acquisition, Inspired will control Sportech's Quantum™ System for LEIDSA, which supports more than 2,100 land-based outlets as well as software and field service support. Inspired will also license Sportech's Lot.to system, an omnichannel iLottery solution that manages the entire lottery business from the cloud, which is currently undergoing testing with LEIDSA to launch digital lottery sales during 2022.

Do you require a photographer at short notice?
Do you want a photographer for a few hours, not the usual ten hour day?
Do you want a female photographer who will help you feel relaxed and happy on your wedding day?
Do you want guaranteed natural, stunning photographs without wasting your time meeting lots of photographers?
Do you want high quality digital files instead of a pre-made album?
Would you like to only pay for the images you choose to buy after seeing them?
If you answered yes to all the above questions, I may just be the photographer for you.
I am a friendly, fun wedding photographer who desires all these things too. My approach is: no pre-wedding meetings, phone calls and emails will suffice and I can email you samples of my wedding photographs. I require only $100 for three hours of photography and this payment locks the date away for you in my diary.
You can buy any image as a high resolution digital file for $100 (minimum purchase of four images). You can then print your image however big you like and as many copies as you like. This is fantastic value considering ordering one 8 x 10" print is $110.
I will not book a wedding more than four months in advance, so if you are looking for someone at short notice, I am happy to be the photographer for you.
PS: Depending on the location and number of guests there may be a small additional charge. Please send me an email or give me a call to discuss your wedding needs.
