The Wedding Ringer placed in second with $1.71 million. Sony's modestly budgeted comedy starring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad was down 50 percent from Monday. The Wedding Ringer has grossed $25.75 million in five days, which is on the lower end of pre-release expectations. The film is currently running 11 percent behind the $29.00 million five-day pace of last year's About Last Night, but should continue to close the percentage gap between the two films thanks to stronger daily holds.

IRS urged to strengthen taxpayer authentication
July 23, 2018, 4:24 p.m. EDT
The Internal Revenue Service needs to strengthen its taxpayer authentication efforts to combat identity theft, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
The GAO noted that criminal were able to get at least $1.6 billion in 2016 by using false identities to claim tax refunds, although the IRS was able to keep $10.5 billion out of their hands.
The report acknowledged the IRS has made progress on monitoring and improving its taxpayer authentication efforts, including developing an authentication strategy with high-level strategic efforts. The IRS authenticates millions of taxpayers each year by telephone, online, in person and through correspondence to ensure it's interacting with legitimate taxpayers. The estimated costs of authenticating taxpayers vary by channel. However, the IRS hasn't prioritized the initiatives supporting its strategy nor has it identified the resources required to complete them, consistent with program management leading practices. Doing so would help IRS clarify relationships between its authentication efforts and articulate resource needs relative to expected benefits, the GAO pointed out. In addition, while the IRS regularly assesses risks to and monitors its online authentication applications, it hasn't set up equally rigorous internal controls for its telephone, in-person, and correspondence channels, including ways to collect reliable, useful data to monitor the outcome of its authentication efforts. As a result, the IRS might not identify current or emerging threats to the tax system.
The IRS can do more to strengthen authentication to stay ahead of fraudsters, according to the GAP. While the IRS has taken some preliminary steps to implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology's new guidance for secure digital authentication, it doesn't have clear plans and timelines to fully implement it by June 2018, as required by the Office of Management and Budget. As a result, the IRS may not be positioned to address its most vulnerable authentication areas in a timely manner. On top of that, the IRS lacks a comprehensive process to evaluate potential new authentication technologies. Industry representatives, financial institutions and government officials told the GAO that the best authentication approach relies on multiple strategies and sources of information, while giving taxpayers options for actively protecting their identity. Evaluating alternatives for taxpayer authentication will help IRS avoid missing opportunities for improving authentication.
The GAO made 11 recommendations in the report, including prioritizing its authentication initiatives, estimating the funding and other resources it will need to implement these initiatives, and developing a process to evaluate potential authentication technologies.
The IRS defended its taxpayer authentication efforts, while acknowledging it needed to do more. "We believe tangible progress has been made in protecting our systems and laying the framework for sound processes that will improve our ability to anticipate and defend against ever-evolving threats," wrote Kiersten Wielobob, deputy commissioner for services and enforcement at the IRS, in response to the report. "We understand we still have much work to do and appreciate the recognition that a needed next step is defining both the scope of that work and the resources needed to complete it. We agree with the recommendations in the report and are taking action to address them."

I never saw it coming; you played me so well. I thought that you loved me, but you put me through hell. You played your role well, but it was just a facade because behind the mask you wore wasn't the man I loved. You deceived me in a way that cut straight through my soul, with my heart left to bleed now I am no longer whole. You took everything with you when you walked out the door leaving my Heart in pieces all over the floor. Shattered and torn is the way that you left me, but one thing I know for sure you will never forget me…..Carol Guajardo.

13th of January 2014, 07:00 AM. For the last time in this project the Wagenborg crew stands ready to discharge the m.v. Marietje Andrea at the Wagenborg terminal in Eemshaven. Even though all are familiar with the job, the day starts with a toolbox talk discussing once more the work related risks and clarifying all responsibilities. Everybody's task is clear, all positions are known, the equipment has been checked… The work can start!
The Marietje-type vessels, owned by the family Danser and sailing under the Wagenborg flag, are versatile and very well usable for different offshore wind related activities. This can be seen by that fact that while the Marietje Andrea was sailing with blades for the Borkum West II project, sister vessel Marietje Andrea was loading monopiles for the Amrumbank project in Vlissingen for destination Cuxhaven.
Amrumbank is an offshore wind farm with 80 wind turbines which will stand on monopile foundations. Each monopile weighs more than 600 tonnes and has a length of between 50 and 60 metres. Loading, seafastening and discharging methods have all been specially engineered for this project, enabling the Marietje-type vessels to take two monopiles on each voyage between Vlissingen and Cuxhaven.
Less than half a day later already the job is done. The last blades for the Borkum West II project have been placed into storage. Ready for assembly into a rotor star before being load-out to the offshore installation vessel. Wagenborg took care of loading the blades in Stade, Germany and has transported all 120 blades for this wind farm to Eemshaven with the Marietje-type vessels of the Danser family, sailing under charter of Wagenborg. In Eemshaven different components of the Borkum West II project are stored at the Wagenborg terminal and adjacent premises.
With her 1,000 tonnes crane the 138 metre long jack-up vessel MPI Adventure now manoeuvres regularly into the Eemshaven and jacks-up in front of the Wagenborg terminal. From there it is only a matter of hours before she has loaded three complete turbines again and is ready to depart offshore to proceed with her offshore installation works.
Another offshore wind farm where Wagenborg has been involved from the start, transporting all wind turbine components from the different factory yards to the onshore hub in Eemshaven, executed with a combination of vessels and barges. All loading and discharging activities were managed by the project team, and now, after ensuring safe storage of the components on her premises, Wagenborg again make sure the components can safely be delivered onto the quayside before being shipped offshore.
We already outperform the IMO standard for 2025!

Singapore-based photographer in British influencer's belly-shaming debacle speaks up

Influencer Brie Benfell (right) alleged that photographer Raiyne Kim had fat-shamed her by pointing out the size of her post-partum tummy. - RAIYNE KIM PHOTOGRAPHY, BRIE BENFELL/TIKTOK
SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Singapore-based photographer Raiyne Kim found herself embroiled in controversy last weekend when what was supposed to be a regular fashion photo shoot spiralled into a social media disaster.
The South Korea-born Australian, who is in her 40s and has 12 years of experience in her line of work, tells The Straits Times that she was 15 minutes into the Oct 5 session when her model, Singapore-based British influencer Brie Benfell, stormed out in tears.
Several hours later, Kim saw that Benfell, 34, had posted a series of stories about her on TikTok and Instagram.
In Benfell's posts, which have since gone viral, she alleged that Kim had fat-shamed her by pointing out the size of her post-partum tummy.
Benfell, who moved to Singapore seven years ago with her husband, had given birth to her second child about three months ago.
However, Kim says it was not her intention to put Benfell down.
"Right from the start, she was saying things like, 'Let me know where I need to tuck' and 'my arms look fat'. My exact words were 'Don't worry, you look beautiful, your arm is fine. You gave birth (a few) months ago so you just have a little baby belly, that's all.'
"I said many positive things before that to comfort and reassure her, but somehow she just heard the word 'baby belly' and went berserk."
Kim, who has no children, claims she apologised several times to Benfell the moment she realised something was wrong, but that Benfell refused to acknowledge it or even look at her.
"We've worked together before, and our professional relationship has always been friendly and courteous," she says.
Benfell tells ST in a separate interview that she did not hear the apologies as she had already walked away.
"I was already very emotional and had lost all confidence to do the shoot. I am aware that in my profession as a model, critique is often part and parcel of work. But there is a difference between constructive criticism and a personal attack," she says, adding that this was the first time she had walked out of a shoot after more than a decade of modelling in Asia.
It was then that Benfell decided to relate her experience on TikTok and Instagram, without mentioning Kim's name.
She says she has since accepted Kim's apology in a private message, and received messages of solidarity and support from hundreds of followers in return.
On the other hand, Kim says she woke up to more than a dozen hate e-mail and online messages the next day as a result of Benfell's posts.
"I tried to explain to her that it was a cultural misunderstanding," the photographer says. "I'm Korean and I had no idea that 'baby belly' was such a horrible word. It is perfectly acceptable in Korea to comment on other people's appearance and say that they've lost or gained weight when you haven't seen them in a while."
But Benfell feels people should be more sensitive with their words, especially when it comes to new mothers.
"We are not the sum of our body parts, and often, women who have just given birth are struggling with so many things. The Internet and social media have also given rise to the unrealistic expectation that all women should snap back and have a supermodel body immediately after birth.
"It is medically impossible for most humans to house a baby for nine months and look runway-ready without the help of a team of nannies, nutritionists, personal trainers," she says, adding that everyone's journey is different.
Kim says the incident took a toll on her and affected her sleep and well-being, but both parties are ready to move on and leave this episode behind them.
Benfell also apologises for the way the situation panned out.
"The brand owner witnessed what happened and called me for a reshoot, and is using another photographer. However, I would like to say sorry to them for any inconvenience caused. And I'm sorry the situation has escalated, especially if it has any negative impact on the brand. It was definitely an emotional reaction and I own up to that," she says.

Athlete of the Week: Matt Dina
Brad Myers
MATT DINA, senior, Appoquinimink soccer
THE WEEK: Helped control the midfield as the Jaguars, ranked fourth in Division I, scored twice late for a 2-0 victory over Caravel – Division II's top-ranked team – last Tuesday.
THE COACH SAYS: "He is the perfect kid to coach, perfect player," Appoquinimink coach Adam Bear said. "He's getting looks from D-I schools. … His GPA is around 4.0. He does everything right in school, on the field, off the field. He's just the perfect player to coach."
THE NEW ROLE: A returning All-State First XI selection, Dina moved from center back to midfield this season to help the Jaguars generate more offense. "This role now is more focused on keeping the ball, advancing it forward, trying to get opportunities for the outside mids and our strikers to score," he said. "These past seven games have been working out really well for me and the rest of the guys."
THE TRANSITION: "When you get in the midfield, you kind of have to play in a 360. You've got people coming from all directions," Bear said. "When you're a center back, you're just kind of playing forward. The first few games were a little transition for him, but he's getting better and better."
THE LEADERSHIP: With the game scoreless in the 64th minute, Caravel goalkeeper Chase Corbitt made a huge save on Dina's penalty kick. But Appo kept the pressure on, and Stephane Ratsimbazafy scored a minute later for a 1-0 lead. "As captain, you can't let your head go down because if your head goes down, everybody else will follow suit," Dina said. "We just need everybody going 110 percent every single minute. Obviously, it worked out a minute later."
THE CLASSROOM: Dina's favorite subjects are animal science and biology.
THE FUTURE: Dina has received recruiting interest from Division I soccer programs, and he already has a major in mind. "I want to go into studying veterinary medicine," he said. "Next semester I'll be shadowing veterinarians, getting a feel of what that is before I go to college."

Coronavirus success: Rwanda beating COVID-19 with robot nurses, population testing
Matthew Amlôt, Al Arabiya English
Published: 20 July ,2020: 02:34 PM GST Updated: 21 July ,2020: 09:15 AM GST
The small African country of Rwanda has been remarkably successful in combating the coronavirus pandemic, with high levels of testing and low numbers of infections.
Experts have been raising alarm bells over the spread of the coronavirus in Africa, with cases moving past half a million on the continent earlier this month. In Rwanda, however, the situation is somewhat different, with authorities aggressively tackling the virus.
The country of over 12 million has recorded just 1,539 infections and five deaths since it first began recording cases in March, according to Johns Hopkins data. These numbers are impressive given how severe the impact of the coronavirus has been elsewhere.
For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
Using a strategy known as "pool testing," wherein large sets of blood samples are tested at once before being further examined, authorities in Rwanda have rolled out widespread testing across the country.
Pool testing takes multiple blood samples together in one batch and tests them together. If there is a positive result then each individual sample in the batch is tested. The technique allows for faster testing, and has recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in speeding up testing.
Tests are even being conducted on the street, with the process taking about five minutes, according to a report by US-based news agency NPR.
"So whenever someone is driving a vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle or even walking, everyone is asked if you wish to get tested," Sabin Nsanzimana, director general of the Rwanda Biomedical Center, the group charged by the country's health ministry to fight the coronavirus, told NPR earlier this month.
"All these samples are sent that day to the lab … We have a big lab here in Kigali. We have also six other labs in the other provinces," Nsanzimana explained.
Those that test positive for the virus are quarantined at a dedicated clinic, while high risk individuals are also quarantined, either at home or at a clinic until they can be tested.
Community healthcare and experience
Rwanda's success in tackling the coronavirus is based on a couple of factors.
Firstly, authorities have focused on building a decentralized health care system, focused down on the community level, Rwanda's former health minister and a senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School, Agnes Binagwaho said earlier this month, US news site Fortune reported.
"Rwanda has prioritized a decentralized health care system," she said. This has led to community health workers being distributed throughout the country, and garners support across the spectrum.
Secondly, Rwandan authorities have been leveraging their experience with other infectious diseases. Nsanzimana told NPR that the main machines that are being used to test for COVID-19 were already in place to tackle HIV infections.
"The main machines we are using for COVID testing are the HIV machines that were [already] there," he said.
This has allowed Rwanda to use the same organizational structure that it has used in the past.
"We are using the same structure, same people, same infrastructure and laboratory diagnostics, but applying it to COVID testing," Nsanzimana explained.
Despite Rwanda's classification as a low-income country by the World Bank, authorities have been pushing in recent years to develop its technology and business sector. The country is ranked 38th in the world for ease of doing business by the World Bank, the second best performance of an African nation behind Mauritius.
It has since applied its developing business and technology sector to fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
In May, treatment centers in the country began rolling out robot nurses to carry out temperature checks and patient monitoring amid COVID-19 social distancing.
"The three robots that we have are part of the treating team," David Turatsinze, a doctor at the facility told Reuters at the time.
In addition, the country is also using drones to deliver blood samples across the country and enforce social distancing rules.
In an interview with monthly magazine The Africa Report earlier this month, Rwandan President Paul Kagame noted that approaching the coronavirus with technology has played a role in the country's ability to fight the pandemic.
"Our digital infrastructure helps us grow the economy. We are building on lessons learned from this difficult situation, thanks to previous investments," he said.
"We have seen digital solutions applied to the problems we have in this new coronavirus situation: People are being innovative, they are providing solutions to either tracing, or digital mapping of our country to know where the virus is hitting the people hard, or where is the movement of the transmissions and then infections," Kagame explained.
The country also responded rapidly to the global rise of the coronavirus, implementing lockdown procedures early compared to other African nations. The lockdown has variously been described as one of the most stringent on the continent. Late last month, authorities reinstated lockdown in the nation's capital, Kigali, as a infections began to increase.
"Rwanda did a few things that are quite smart," Sama Sgaier, the head of the Surgo Foundation that has been analyzing coronavirus data trends across the continent, told NPR.
"One is they responded really early. They put some of the most stringent lockdowns in place compared to every other African country. In fact, we've been monitoring physical distancing data across the continent and Rwanda fares, I think, second; they've physical distanced the second most across Africa," he said, basing the ranking on mobile phone tracking data.

A native IgE in complex with profilin provides insights into allergen recognition and cross-reactivity

Communications Biology
Allergies have become a rising health problem, where plentiful substances can trigger IgE-mediated allergies in humans. While profilins are considered minor allergens, these ubiquitous proteins are primary molecules involved in cross-reactivity and pollen-food allergy syndrome. Here we report the first crystal structures of murine Fab/IgE, with its chains naturally paired, in complex with the allergen profilin from Hevea brasiliensis (Hev b 8). The crystallographic models revealed that the IgE's six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) interact with the allergen, comprising a rigid paratope-epitope surface of 926 Å2, which includes an extensive network of interactions. Interestingly, we also observed previously unreported flexibility at Fab/IgE's elbow angle, which did not influence the shape of the paratope. The Fab/IgE exhibits a high affinity for Hev b 8, even when using 1 M NaCl in BLI experiments. Finally, based on the encouraging cross-reactivity assays using two mutants of the maize profilin (Zea m 12), this antibody could be a promising tool in IgE engineering for diagnosis and research applications.

Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is denying that a family connection was a factor in his expropriation of a lucrative Arctic surf clam licence earlier this year and his decision to award it to the Five Nations Clam Company — a newly created partnership with no boats capable of handling the clam fishery.
LeBlanc was responding to opposition charges he violated Commons conflict of interest rules, as the move allegedly enriches a former Liberal MP, a current Liberal MP — and now, potentially, a member of LeBlanc's family. Conservative fisheries critic Todd Doherty is calling on the ethics commissioner investigate.
LeBlanc fired back: "Any notion that this was the reason for my decision is a baseless and ludicrous accusation. I made my decision for no other reason than to allow for increased Indigenous participation in the fishery. I reject any insinuation to the contrary in the strongest of terms.
iPolitics confirmed Wednesday Five Nations was initially led by Gilles Thériault, who is the first cousin of LeBlanc's wife, Jolène Richard. A long-time fisheries consultant and federal fisheries negotiator, Thériault also helped write the company's winning proposal.
Thériault's connection was also raised in question period by Doherty.
"What we've also learned through these recently released documents is that Five Nations is headed by Gilles Thériault. Who is Gilles Thériault, you ask? None other than a cousin of the minister's wife," he said.
Reached this week, Elsipogtog Chief Aaron Sock said Thériault is no longer at Five Nations' helm — he is.
Asked if he was aware of Thériault's relation to LeBlanc, Sock said he wasn't.
Thériault's father Norbert Thériault and Richard's mother Germaine were siblings. Richard is now the chief judge of New Brunswick's provincial court and her father Guy served as chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick from 1982 to 1994.
Norbert was a former provincial cabinet minister who was appointed to the Senate by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in 1979. Thériault's brother Camille also served briefly as New Brunswick premier in the late 1990s.
The awarding of the lucrative new licence to the newly created Five Nations has been awash in controversy since it was announced. Its industry partner is Premium Seafoods Limited, based in Arichat, Nova Scotia, which is owned by Edgar Samson, the brother of Liberal MP Darrell Samson.
In February, Edgar Samson told the Chronicle Herald his relation to the MP played no part in the winning bid, adding that his brother is not involved and holds no shares in the company whatsoever.
Neither he nor Thériault responded to requests for comment for this story.
In September, LeBlanc announced a new license for the Arctic surf clam fishery, with 25 per cent of the quota allocated to the new entrant. LeBlanc planned to expropriate the quota from Clearwater Seafoods, which had been the only company in the $100-million surf clam business and held all licenses, processing them at a plant in Grand Bank, Newfoundland.
On Feb. 21, 2018, LeBlanc announced that the licence would be issued to Five Nations.
The chiefs said it's clear that at the time of submission, Five Nations did not meet this criteria — and was identifying and soliciting Indigenous partners for inclusion after the licence was awarded.
"Had it been made clear that an Indigenous community can singularly submit a proposal and indicate its willingness to include other Indigenous communities if it was awarded a surf clam license, no doubt others would have taken the same approach," they said.
Given that Five Nations' proposal was not compliant with DFO's criteria, to accept it is "procedurally unfair," particularly given the significant human and financial resources many of the eight other applicants put into legally formalize agreements to form an aggregate of Indigenous communities.
The Miawpukek First Nation has since filed a request in Federal Court for a judicial review of the decision, as instead of choosing an applicant that met the criteria, the band says the minister gave priority to an applicant that said it would try to meet the criteria after the licence was awarded.
Sock said Five Nations now has all its partners on board: the Innu First Nation of Nutashkuan from Quebec and the Inuit of Nunatukavut in Labrador — which is led by former Liberal MP Todd Russell — as well as two Mi'kmaq bands: the Abegweit First Nation from P.E.I. and the Potlotek First Nation from Nova Scotia.
In its bid, Five Nations said for 2018, it was looking to lease a boat from a company in Massachusetts that's equipped to handle the surf clam fishery until modifications are done on its own factory vessel.
Last month during an appearance at the House fisheries committee, LeBlanc was taken to task by Conservative MP Mel Arnold over what he deemed to be a lack of transparency around the decision.
"It appears the reallocation was made to a non-existent corporation at the time, they had no Indigenous partners at the time and had no boat at that time — apparently not meeting any of the criteria that were set out by the department to be able to meet and qualify for that allocation. Can you consider that transparent or can you be more transparent about why that decision was made," Arnold said.

Q: Destination value with DirectionsRenderer in Google Maps v3 Loving Google Maps API V3, but having difficulty in getting accurate driving directions and manipulating the destination address displayed when using DirectionsRenderer.
Regardless if I pass an address string or a latLng instance as the destination to DirectionsService, when I use the DirectionsRenderer to output step-by-step directions, the destination text is always the geocoded result of my original destination (i.e. the address, rather than COMPANY NAME).
Ideally, I want to pass a precise latLng destination to DirectionsService, but control the text displayed as the 'destination'.
I guess I could manually output the HTML, but part lazy, part not wanting to re-invent the wheel, would prefer to use DirectionsRenderer.
Any ideas?

response.routes[0].legs[0].end_address="Company";

before calling

Q: how do i get an image id from a clicked image using jquery? I have a list of images that are pulled from a database and loaded into a ListView in ASP. I have a JQuery click function attached to each image that is generated. What I need to do is somehow get the id of the image that is clicked, but right now, I dont see a way to attach an ID to each image.
The ListView is populated from a SQLSource that has the columns ID, UserName, Photo. The item template uses username and photo to display the list, but will not let me set the ID using Eval("fieldName").
What I'm trying to do is: when the user clicks the image, the ID associated with that image is grabbed by JQuery, which opens up another window and uses that ID has part of a querystring. Ex:
window.open("anotherpage.aspx?id=" + imgID);
Here is the jquery I have right now:

And the listview:
<telerik:RadListView ID="photoList" runat="server"
                DataSourceID="employeePicsSource" DataKeyNames="ID">
                <ItemTemplate>

                            <%#Eval("FullName") %>
                            <%#Eval("ADGUID") %>
                            <asp:Image runat="server"
                            ImageUrl='<%#GetImageURL((int)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ID")) %>'
                            Width="200" CssClass="originalPhoto" />
                            <asp:Image runat="server" Width="96" Height="96" />

                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadListView>
            <asp:SqlDataSource ID="employeePicsSource" runat="server"
                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Employee_Photos_DevConnectionString %>"

                SelectCommand="SELECT [FullName], [ADGUID], [Photo], [ID] FROM [Employee_AndPhoto]">
            </asp:SqlDataSource>

Any ideas? TIA

A: In the same way you get the href you can have the id as well
$('.originalPhoto').click(function (event) {
    var url = $(this).attr("href");
    var id = $(this).attr("id");
    var windowName = "popup";

    window.open("test.aspx?id="+id);
    event.preventDefault();
});

As jostster says, you also need to add the id to you image, something like
id='Convert.ToString((int)DataBinder.Eval(item.DataItem, "ID"))'

66% of Filipinos worried about Duterte's health – survey
Almost half of Filipinos also believe President Rodrigo Duterte has health problems, according to a Social Weather Stations survey

HEALTHY PRESIDENT? Most Filipinos are worried about the state of President Rodrigo Duterte's health. Malacañang photo
MANILA, Philippines – A big majority of Filipinos, 66% to be exact, are worried about President Rodrigo Duterte's health, while almost half believe him to have health problems, according to a new Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.
The survey, conducted from December 16 to 19 last year, found that the percentage of respondents worried about Duterte's health rose by 11 points, from 55% in September 2018.
The 66% who are worried about the Chief Executive's health is broken down as follows: 22% are worried a great deal and 44% are somewhat worried.
Meanwhile, 34% said they are not worried about the 73-year-old Duterte's health.
The survey involved face-to-face interviews with 1,440 adults all over the country. SWS said the margin of error for regional percentages (Metro Manila, Balance of Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) is +/-5%. For the national percentages, the sampling error margin is +/-2.6%.
It's Mindanaoans who are most worried about Duterte's health. In Mindanao, 73% said they are worried, followed by 66% in Metro Manila and the Visayas who are worried. In Balance of Luzon, 63% are worried about the President's state of health.
But the percentage worried over Duterte's health rose in all regions. The increase was most pronounced in Mindanao where there was a 12-point increase from the September figure.
More Filipinos think Duterte has health problems
SWS also found that more Filipinos think the President is dealing with health problems than those who don't think he has any issues.
In the December survey, 49% believe this compared to the 45% who thought this in September.
But the difference in the two surveys is more pronounced when computing for the net belief score – the difference between the percentage who believe Duterte has health problems and the percentage who don't.
In December, the net belief score reached +25 (49% believe minus 24% do not believe). This is 6 points higher than the net belief score in September which was +19 (45% believe minus 26% do not believe).
It's people in Metro Manila, the upper class, and urban residents who hold the strongest belief that Duterte has health problems.
Out of all the regions, Metro Manila registered the highest net belief in Duterte's health problems at +31, but this was unchanged from the September figure.
Balance of Luzon came in second place with +28 net belief, followed by the Visayas (+26) and Mindanao (+14). But in these 3 regions, net belief in Duterte's health problems rose.
Among economic classes, class ABC had the highest net belief at +31. This is 12 points higher than the +19 in September.
Net belief among the poorest Filipinos, or those in class E, came in second at +27. Net belief for Class D was at +24. There was an increase in net belief across all economic classes.
News about complications in Duterte's health reached a high point in early October 2018 when he revealed in a public speech that his doctors had run tests to check on a growth they found in his body. (READ: 'Growth' found in Duterte's endoscopy? Doctors explain what it means)
Days after, he claimed the tests showed he did not have cancer.
Many had also observed Duterte's grayish pallor which the President explained was due to his trips to military camps.
Lawmakers and groups have called on Malacañang to be more transparent about Duterte's health, some asking for medical certificates or for doctors to explain the President's condition to the public. (READ: President's health: Touchy topic for Duterte, public concern for Constitution)
The septuagenarian President has also complained of a slew of other ailments, including Barrett's Esophagus and Buerger's Disease.
But the Palace has said there is no need to release such medical information because Duterte supposedly does not have a "serious illness." The 1987 Constitution requires that the public be informed of the President's health "in case of serious illness," but it is vague on the definition of the phrase. – Rappler.com

I am not a religious person, so when I decide to visit this hotbed of religious activity every four years, everyone who knows me, is surprised. Pushkar, Rajasthan literally means a blue lotus flower, legends about this settlement are abundant but the one that makes sense to me is that a blue lotus that fell from the hands of Lord Brahma created Pushkar and its lake.
The famed waters of the Pushkar Lake wash away the sins of a lifetime, this amongst other reasons attract many like me.
Brahma is the residing deity in Pushkar and has, amongst a sea of temples, one dedicated to him. The Brahma Temple in Pushkar is unique because there isn't another temple in the world dedicated to him. These points make Pushkar an immensely holy place for pilgrims.
However I choose to return to this place for a very simple reason: I am happy in Pushkar. The contentment on my face is visible to those who travel with me as they are people I see everyday back home. Everyone questions my travel plans as the Pushkar Fair follows just a few days later, something I aim to miss every time.
The Pushkar fair is one of the world's largest livestock and camel fairs every year, but be warned that this is also the time where Pushkar is at its crowded best. There is a legal amount of "nasha" you are permitted to take in; another thing I always want to avoid.
Pushkar moulds itself to the needs of the user. She is home to uncountable religious structures thus attracting throngs of people; the foreign traveller who experiences India in a nut shell; the craft obsessed shopaholic; passionate art lovers; shrewd businessmen; the foodie and like me, the fascinated architect.
When the blue sky romances the white structures in the natural light, the trained eye can do nothing except admire the foresight of those who built this cultural hub. The atmosphere is complete with the sound of "aartis" and chants of "sadhus"; smells of "attar" and flowers and the hustle of devotees trying to complete their "parikramas".
Pushkar is essentially a religious settlement where the holiness is accentuated by non religious features such as the vistas of the "ghats" framed by typical arches; colourful clothing displayed in the serpentine marketplace; the rooftop restaurants serving world cuisine and tiny lanes selling the best tourist souvenirs.

Deep gold in colour with a beautifully evolved and earthy character on the nose, waxy with a hint of butter. Good depth and texture on the palate with great acid that gives the wine superb length.
Les Lys is a 'climat' at the top of the Vaillons 1er Cru plot and takes its name from the fact it used to be owned by the French crown. The vineyards are on Kimmeridgian marl soils and are north facing so the grapes undergo a slow ripening process accumulating delicate aromatic flavours.
The grapes were pressed very gently and then underwent a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks with only natural yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place then the wine was left to age on its fine lees for four years in tank. During this period there was a monthly bâtonnage (lees stirring). The bâtonnage breaks up the fine lees and releases glycerine which acts as an antioxidant, this is part of what makes the wine age so well. After bottling, the wine was aged for a further six months before release.

The pressure campaign from Engel came as his committee is investigating Pompeo over whether he has misused government resources for political reasons.
The State Department had initially rebuffed Democrats' request for documents it sent to the two Senate committees, saying it was not obliged to provide the information on Biden because the foreign affairs panel is investigating Pompeo, not allegations against the former vice president.
Engel repeated past condemnations of the Senate GOP probes, accusing Pompeo of aiding Republicans' efforts to hurt Biden heading into the presidential election.

Top Pompeo Aides Face U.S. House Democrats Over Saudi Weapons, Official's Firing | Top News

By Patricia Zengerle and Daphne Psaledakis
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Top aides to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will testify to members of Congress on Wednesday about the firing of the former State Department inspector general, months after Democratic-led committees launched an investigation into his dismissal.
President Donald Trump abruptly fired Steve Linick from his position as the State watchdog in May, as he investigated the administration's decision to pursue billions of dollars in military sales to Saudi Arabia despite congressional opposition.
His firing was one of a series of Trump's dismissals of officials responsible for preventing fraud and abuse at government agencies. The firings prompted concern among members of Congress, including some of Trump's fellow Republicans, over whether Trump was interfering with legitimate oversight.
Linick was also investigating allegations that Pompeo and his wife Susan had misused government resources by having department staff handle personal matters.
On Wednesday three top Pompeo aides – Brian Bulatao, Under Secretary for Management, Acting Legal Adviser Marik String and Clarke Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs – will appear before the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs and Oversight committees.
Underscoring tensions between Congress and the administration over Linick's firing amid the investigations, Bulatao and String agreed to testify only after the panels announced subpoenas.
"All the facts that we know suggest that there is an aversion to accountability," a committee aide said.
Congress had requested an investigation into the Trump administration's May 2019 decision to push ahead with $8 billion in military sales to Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries by declaring a "national emergency" over tensions with Iran in order to sidestep congressional objections to the sales.
Lawmakers had been blocking many of the sales for months out of concern the Raytheon smart bombs and other equipment might contribute to the human catastrophe in Yemen, where bombings by a Saudi-led coalition have caused heavy civilian casualties.
A report issued by the State Inspector General's office in August found that State did not fully evaluate the risks to civilians in Yemen when it pushed through the huge precision-guided munitions sale, although it did not violate the law.

House Dems investigating Pompeo, wife to face off with senior State Dept. officials
September 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 Dems, Dept, Face, house, Investigating, officials, Pompeo, Senior, State, wife
Two House Democratic chairs have been investigating allegations against Pompeo.
Months of tension between House Democrats and the State Department are set to spill out into public display on Wednesday when senior department officials testify about the firing of the agency's inspector general.
President Donald Trump's removal of the federal watchdog at the request of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo came as the independent office was investigating Pompeo and his wife leading to accusations of retaliation that the Pompeos have denied.
Those accusations were revived on Friday after the House published a transcript of two top Pompeo aides' closed-door testimony.
The House Foreign Affairs and Oversight Committees' Democratic chairs have been investigating several allegations against the top U.S. diplomat, including his unprecedented speech to the Republican National Convention, his cooperation with a Republican-led Senate investigation of Trump's opponent Joe Biden and his private dinners at the State Department for elite guests.
Inspector general Steve Linick was fired in May. At the time, Pompeo confirmed he requested to have Linick removed and accused him of leaking or "investigating policies he simply didn't like."
Linick's office was investigating allegations of the Pompeos' use of career staff to run personal errands, the secretary's use of an emergency authority to bypass Congress and sell arms to Saudi Arabia, the department rescinding an award to a Finnish journalist who criticized Trump and allegations of "workplace violence" in the Office of the Chief of Protocol.
Pompeo has denied that Linick's firing was retaliatory — at first saying he was unaware of any investigations and then saying while he answered questions about the arms sale probe, he didn't know the full scope.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo listens during the third annual U.S.-Qatar Strategic Dialogue at the State Dept., Monday, Sept. 14, 2020 in Washington.
Stephen Akard, a longtime aide to Vice President Mike Pence who had served as acting inspector general after Linick was fired, told the House committees that "Pompeo was interested in the release of" the OIG's Saudi arms sale probe, but that he had recused himself from it. As a political appointee who still served as director of State's Office of Foreign Missions, he wanted to avoid any potential conflicts of interest before resigning in August.
Akard's sworn affidavit, released by the committee Monday, is the latest participation by a department official in the committee's probe. Its chair, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., released transcripts Friday from two top Pompeo aides, a longtime confidante Toni Porter and a career official Lisa Kenna, who serves as executive secretary, a key gatekeeper for a secretary of state.
Porter told the committees that she was interviewed two weeks ago by the Office of Inspector General about "misuse of government resources" by Pompeo and his wife Susan
House readies contempt resolution as Pompeo defies subpoenas
September 5, 2020 [email protected]_84 contempt, defies, house, Pompeo, readies, Resolution, subpoenas
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Foreign Affairs Committee is moving to hold Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in contempt after he has repeatedly rejected the committee's subpoenas for records related to Ukraine that the department has turned over to the Republican-led Senate.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said Friday that the panel will prepare a contempt resolution because of what he called Pompeo's "unprecedented record of obstruction and defiance of the House's constitutional oversight authority." The House has asked for the same documents that the State Department has turned over for a Senate investigation into Democrat Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and his activities in Ukraine, but Pompeo has refused to provide them.
In a letter to Engel this week, the department said Pompeo would turn over the documents if the House panel was investigating, like the Senate, "identical or very similar corruption issues involving Ukraine and corrupt influence related to U.S. foreign policy." Democrats have said they believe that investigation by the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee is a politically motivated, election-year probe that is aiding Russia's attempts to sow chaos in American democracy and spreading Russian disinformation.
The department reiterated that position Friday after Engel said he would pursue contempt, saying in a statement that they would provide the materials "with the only condition being that he send a letter explaining what foreign policy issue he is investigating that requires these documents."
The committee's contempt resolution will also cite Pompeo's refusal to comply with a subpoena issued during the House impeachment inquiry last year. The House impeached President Donald Trump in December — and the Senate acquitted him in February — for his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden as Joe Biden was running for the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump. The president and his associates asked Ukraine for the probes as he was withholding military aid to the country.
"Mr. Pompeo is demanding that the committee do essentially the same thing Russia is doing, according the Office of the Director of National Intelligence: 'spreading claims about corruption' in order to 'interfere in the American presidential election,'" Engel said. "In other words, Pompeo will give the committee what we were seeking if we join in a smear of the president's political rival. Sound familiar?"
The contempt resolution is the latest — and likely futile — attempt by the Democrat-led House to pressure Trump's administration into complying with requests for testimony and information on a wide range of issues. While congressional subpoenas are legally binding, officials who have rebuffed Congress have faced little consequence for defying them, while Trump has fired or demoted federal employees who have complied with requests individually.
Contempt itself is largely a symbolic gesture that has generally been used to embarrass officials who refuse congressional requests, and Democratic attempts to legally fight the administration's refusals have been drawn out in lengthy court battles.
The State Department has also defied subpoenas in the committee's investigation of Trump's firing of

and March 23rd for other Europe Countries?
Just curious...Smarter to launch a new product on weekend or last day of working week? Does it matter?
Apple likes to launch products on Friday + 2 days notice too short = the 16th. They typically do a 5-14 day window, so this date shouldn't surprise anyone.
Seems very likely. If the iPad 2 launched nine days after the announcement last year, and this store opening has been bumped up to fit that timeframe... well, it's very possible.
I work 5 minutes from this new store!!!
The Apple TV can be ordered same day. IOS 5.1 is released.
Pre-Orders for the iPad 3 start March 9th at Midnight with delivery March 16th.
Not completely ridiculous. Nine day's difference is one less than the 4S keynote to launch.
I doubt iOS 5.1 would be released the same day. Us developers haven't even seen a Golden Master yet. Then again, we could see a GM this weekend, which would give us almost two weeks to finalize our apps for submission.
...good lord, what has Apple turned us all into??
And people would start using pencils again ... saying they are so "Retina"
Makes no sense, why on earth would you want to open a store on the day of a highly-anticipated product launch? Seems like a recipe for disaster.
Houston isn't exactly a hub of innovation. Plus, I live right across from the Moscone Center in SF and I've seen a fair number of Apple infantry here already.
I know where I won't be going to buy my iPad 3. Also, is it just me, or is The Galleria Apple Store too small?
The GM has been on the back burner for almost two months. Since the last seed. There's nothing in the GM that devs need to submit their apps.
This is about them moving the store's opening date, not changing the launch date for this store.

VISCULT 2015: FOOD FOR THOUGHT – CALL FOR FILMS
FESTIVAL OF VISUAL CULTURE, JOENSUU 30.9. - 2.10.2015
The annual Viscult Film Festival of anthropological and ethnographic documentaries will be held 30.9. - 2.10.2015 in Joensuu, Finland. The theme of Viscult 2015 is "Food for Thought". This points towards cultural and social issues of food and culinary cultures. Food makes us all think: What will we put in our mouths and what not? Where does our food originate? In which ways are aspects of food hierarchically organized? What meanings relate to traditional culinary cultures and how have they transformed in modern society? How does the global food industry affect local food and culinary cultures? What ethical issues should be highlighted in audio-visual documenting activities related with food? How can documentaries address issues of food production and participate in public discussion?
We are now inviting documentary filmmakers to send in preview versions of their recent films relevant to the theme, "Food for Thought", to be considered for selection in the Viscult 2015 Programme. A specialist jury will watch the films received and select 8-12 films to be included in the Festival. The organizing committee hopes to invite directors (or producers) of the selected films to the Viscult 2015 Festival to introduce their work and also for a discussion with the audience after the screening. The deadline for sending films is 8 April 2015.
Please fill the film submission form at http://www.viscult.net.
The Viscult Film Festival focuses especially on anthropological and ethnographic documentaries. The programme consists of film screenings, student-focused workshops and plenary lectures. The events are free for all. Moreover, much of the programme will be streamed in the Internet as a real- time net broadcast, so the events can be followed from across the world.
For the preview by the festival jury, please send a link to streaming services, preferably Vimeo or YouTube. A link to Dropbox or similar is also accepted. Also, please send us the password to access the film if needed. Please make sure that the film file is available for the Viscult jury until the end of May.
In case a streaming link cannot be provided, you can send a DVD copy to the following address:
Pohjois-Karjalan alueellinen elokuvayhdistys
(North Karelia Regional Film Association)
Kirkkokatu 27
80100 Joensuu, Finland
