Why Uber Stock Rose 15% Last Month
Shares of the newly public ridesharing giant got an assist from Wall Street.
Jeremy Bowman
(TMFHobo)
Shares of Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) gained 15%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, in the ridesharing giant's first full month as a publicly traded company.
Uber shares continued to be volatile, but some analyst endorsements, a not-so-bad earnings report at the end of May, and an improving macroeconomic situation helped pushed the stock higher during June -- even lifting it above its IPO price of $45.

The chart below shows how shares bounced up and down over the course of the month.
UBER data by YCharts.
Uber came into June riding momentum from its first-quarter earnings report as the numbers were good enough to give support to a stock that had been mostly hammered since its IPO on May 10. Investors also liked that CEO Dara Khosrowshahi indicated that he thought the price war between Uber and rival Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) was easing, a positive sign for both ride-hailing companies.
Uber then got another shot in the arm when positive analyst ratings began coming in on June 4, and the stock rose 9% over June 4 and 5. Among the most optimistic analysts was BTIG, which slapped an $80 price target and a buy rating on the ridesharing service, arguing that autonomous vehicles would provide a significant tailwind for the company within five years. A number of other analysts cited the company's industry leadership and the emergence of the mobility economy as they called the stock a buy. According to Bloomberg, Uber had collected 21 buy ratings, five holds, and no sells.
For the next few weeks, the stock traded within a narrow range before breaking out on the last two days of June, gaining 9% to reach an all-time closing high of $46.38 amid news that it plans to expand into Ivory Coast and Senegal, and to launch an Uber Boat service in Lagos, Nigeria, following a similar launch in Mumbai, India, a few months ago. That news again shined a light on the company's global ambition and its willingness to embrace all forms of transportation.

Uber has shed some of those gains in the first days of trading in July as a Stifel analyst said he favors Lyft over Uber, and gave Uber just a neutral rating. Plenty of risks remain for the company, including its massive losses and slowing growth, but the stock's story is just beginning. Investors can expect the volatility to continue.

Ukraine: Church helps refugees and prays for peace
AID TO THE CHURCH IN NEED – THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN UKRAINE continues to place its hopes in peace talks and diplomatic solutions for the current crisis. This was the message relayed by the Latin Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop Mieczyslaw Mokrzycki, of Lviv, during a visit to the international headquarters of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) in Königstein, Germany, on the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Throughout the country, he explained, the Church has been preparing for a potential wave of refugees. "We are ready to welcome people into our churches and provide them with food and water. We have organized first-aid courses for priests, religious and laity, so they can care for the wounded." Archbishop Mokrzycki added that some Ukrainian refugees have already arrived in the west of the country and that "we have already rented some empty houses that will provide accommodation for them."
Despite the very tense situation, the archbishop said that there is always hope for a compromise. "War does not bring any solutions, only destruction, suffering, and lack of peace," Archbishop Mokrzycki insisted.
The archbishop expressed himself profoundly moved by the level of international solidarity with Ukraine. "We are most grateful to the entire universal Church, and especially to Pope Francis, who has issued a worldwide appeal for prayer for Ukraine," he said.
"I would like to repeat this appeal: Continue this prayer! Keep on praying, until the final peace comes!" Archbishop Mokrzycki urged.

YNW Melly and Kanye West's "Mixed Personalities" Goes Platinum
Tony M. Centeno
Lyrical Lemonade via YouTube
YNW Melly scores another accomplishment in his music career.
According to the RIAA, "Mixed Personalities," which is a Kanye West-assisted song Melly dropped at the top of 2019, reached platinum status on Monday (July 9). The track, which belongs to the jailed rapper's We All Shine album, is his second platinum-selling single. His first was "Murder on My Mind," which went platinum back in March.
As if "Mixed Personalities" going platinum wasn't enough, Melly also earned another certification for his "Murder on My Mind" and "Virtual (Blue Balenciagas)." The former song was certified two-times platinum back in May, but on July 9 it was certified triple platinum. Meanwhile, "Virtual (Blue Balenciagas)," which is featured on his 2018 album I Am You, has reached gold status.
This news comes as the Florida rapper is sitting behind bars as he awaits his upcoming trial. Melly was charged with double murder for the deaths of his two affiliates YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. If convicted, the state of Florida will pursue the death penalty with the full support of the victims' families. In the meantime, Melly has the support of his fans as well as other MC's like Future, Lil Baby and Lil Durk.

Phife Dawg's Family Releases a Statement After the A Tribe Called Quest Rapper Dies at 45
Filed to: a tribe called questFiled to: a tribe called quest
ali shaheed muhammad
Early Wednesday, news broke that A Tribe Called Quest's Phife Dawg had passed at age 45, with the likely cause owing to a long battle with diabetes, and a related kidney transplant from his wife in 2008. Now, the Queens rapper's family has confirmed and released a statement via his publicist:
"We regret to share the news that on Tuesday March 22nd, 2016, Malik has passed away due to complications resulting from diabetes.
Malik was our loving husband, father, brother and friend. We love him dearly. How he impacted all our lives will never be forgotten. His love for music and sports was only surpassed by his love of God and family."
Dion Liverpool, his manager, adds, "While I mourn the loss of my best friend and brother, I also will celebrate his incredible life and contribution to many people's ears across the world. Even with all his success, I have never met a person as humble as he. He taught me that maintaining a positive attitude and outlook can conquer anything. Now my brother is resting in greatness. I'm honored to have crossed paths with him. Riddim Kidz 4eva."
The family asks that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.
Phife, born Malik Taylor, formed A Tribe Called Quest with Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad in 1988, which would pave a way for the jazz-influenced, alternative, Afrocentric East Coast rap of its collective Native Tongues in an era otherwise defined by street and gangster rap. The group would, of course, eventually became one of the most venerated and influential hip-hop groups of all time.
Phife had the lead verses on some of Tribe's best known songs; on "Scenario," from 1991's Low End Theory, he defined himself as such:
I'm all that and then some, short, dark, and handsome
Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from
I'm vexed, fuming, I've had it up to here
My days of paying dues are over, acknowledge me as in there (Yeah!)
On one of Phife's most famous lyrics, from 1993's "Electric Relaxation," he presented himself as a smooth seducer:
I like 'em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian
Name is Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation
Told you in the jam that we can get down
Now let's knock the boots like the group H-Town
Phife Dawg is survived by his family, musical brothers, and legions of fans around the world.

west wing au (loosely); in other words everyone works in the white house and louis likes getting coffee with the washington post reporter in his briefing room.
"It's nice that you want to offer that, but I just can't do that. First of all, it's illegal."
Louis shakes his head vigorously. "No, no. It's not like one of us is gunning for a visa."
"Listen to yourself," Harry laughs, shaking Louis' shoulders. "Don't you think it's a bit weird to con the country you're supposed to be serving?"
Louis is going into the Army, Harry is going nowhere, and there's nothing like a little identity fraud between friends.

Asda's like-for-like sales excluding VAT and petrol have fallen 0.3% in its first quarter and the grocer expects conditions to remain tough.
The Walmart owned grocer – which last week promoted Andy Clarke to chief executive – said its total sales growth is in the "low single digits" in the quarter to March 31. It said its profits grew ahead of sales, beating internal targets.
The whole grocery sector has showed signs of like-for-likes slowing. Last month Morrisons reported its like-for-likes had slowed, but were still positive, at 0.8%, showing Asda is suffering more than its rivals.
Asda has had a tough start to the year, hampered by the snow at the beginning of the year, and the fierce promotional price war. Last month it set out a five-year strategy to become non-food market leader, and clear number two in food.
Bond added: "I'm pleased to say that we're making good progress against the plans we outlined to analysts last month. Our four pronged strategy to build sales and broaden our appeal is beginning to take shape.
"On price our renewed focus on EDLP means we've successfully reduced the number of promotions in store. The launch of the Asda Price Guarantee also means both our price position, and price perception has never been stronger.
"On quality we have extended the 100 Day Guarantee to the entire George range, and have innovative plans to extend this approach to other areas of the business. Our own label food also continues to win more awards than our major rivals.
Asda has also revealed it invested £12m in stores to help reduce queues and assist in customer services.
Asda will also extend its online capacity in north London by around 50%, following exchanging contracts on a second home shopping picking centre.

Iowa ready to distribute vaccines when available
Kathie Obradovich
IOWA CAPITAL DISPATCH
Gov. Kim Reynolds says Iowa is ready to distribute COVID-19 vaccines when available.
Gov. Kim Reynolds said Iowa is ready to distribute COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they are available.
"The availability of a COVID-19 vaccine will be a significant step forward for our nation and our state," Reynolds said. "Vaccines will reduce COVID-related illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths and further advance our overall recovery to the pandemic."
Pfizer has applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency-use authorization of its vaccine. If approved, the company said the vaccine could be used by high-risk populations by the end of December this year. Moderna announced last week that it expects to soon seek emergency authorization for its vaccine.
A third company, AstraZeneca, has also announced positive results from clinical trials, Reynolds noted, although some have raised questions about the company's data.
The Trump administration says it anticipates immediately distributing 22.5 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 15 million doses of the Moderna vaccine, which would be allocated by state population.
"Whenever the decisions regarding approval are made and distribution begins, Iowa is ready," Reynolds said.
She said the Iowa Department of Public Health has developed a vaccination strategy in collaboration with public and private partners. She said the strategy addresses allocation, distribution, transportation, dispensing and administration of vaccines.
There are significant policy and logistical challenges in distributing vaccines when they are released, including deciding who qualifies from the initially limited supply, how to safely store and dispense the drug, and how to pay for the program.
Iowa has not publicly released a draft vaccine distribution plan since Oct. 16 but last week the Department of Public Health released a new Vaccine FAQ document. Many details, including who will receive the vaccine first, are still to be announced.
Reynolds said some details won't be available until the FDA approves the emergency authorization, including the number of doses Iowa can expect to receive initially.
She said immediate vaccination efforts "will focus on those critical to the response, including those who provide direct care and maintain critical infrastructure and those (at) highest risk for developing serious illness from the virus."
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Academy of Medicine are considering the prioritization of vaccine distribution while supplies are limited, she said.
In addition to their recommendations, Reynolds said, Iowa Department of Public Health and State Epidemiologist Caitlin Pedati "will also consider CDC guidelines and work with various stakeholders to implement a targeted approach for COVID-19 vaccination."
The vaccine "brings with it the hope that life will return to normal soon," Reynolds said. "However, it will take some time for the vaccine to become widely available. And in the meantime, we must be patient and do everything that we can to prevent getting and spreading the virus."
Reynolds encouraged Iowans to follow the CDC's guidelines for safe holidays.

Lalu gives management lessons to IIM grads
September 18, 2006 21:13 IST
Donning the mantle of a management guru, Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad on Monday lectured the students of elite Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad on how the Railways under his stewardship transformed from a chronically loss-making unit to a profitable venture within a short span.
Often derided for his 'mismanagement' of Bihar affairs during a 15-year rule by his party, Lalu, a quintessentially rustic politician credited with making the railways turnaround through a highly common sense approach, dwelt at length on the initiatives taken by the railways.
During the three-hour lecture, Lalu also shared with the business school students his vision on world-class stations, clean malls and good amenities for passengers.
Asked by reporters later what he discussed with the students, he said he explained how the railways was able to earn more without raising fares and even by reducing freight.
Lalu said the railways earned Rs 13,500 crore (Rs 135 billion) by March this year and this figure is expected to touch Rs 20,000-crore (Rs 200 billion) mark by 2006-7 and promised to sustain the turn-around.
"We will sustain and earn even more in the days to come," he said.
Scoffing at people lampooning him when he tried to change the railways, Lalu said that "instead of appreciating the good initiatives taken by us, there have been people who have been making fun of us. They have been making unfair comments like 'Lalu rail ko chopat kar dega' (Lalu will mess up the Railways). But we have been able to prove them wrong."
Earlier Lalu, accompanied by his wife Rabri Devi, met IIM-A Director Bakul Dholakia.
Recently, a study conducted by senior IIM-A professor G Raghuram on the turnaround of Railways was included in the curriculum for Post-Graduate Programme in Management for Executives.
The study includes a look at whether the "turnaround is actually real or an eyewash."
While talking about making the Indian railways world-class, Lalu, however, ruled out having high speed trains as in Japan saying their fares are 'too high' and are risky projects.
Regarding security of passengers in trains, Lalu said CCTVs, dog squad and metal detectors would be introduced to make train travelling much safer and the railways was considering to bar relatives of passengers from entering rail stations.
The lecture of the railway minister at the IIMA was a closed door session where around 90 students and faculty members were present.
His lecture was well appreciated by the students who enjoyed his inimitable style of speaking while making a point about the success of the railways.
Briefing the media after the lecture, the railway minister said 7,500 outlets would be opened in railway stations across the country to help local farmers sell their produce there.
Replying to more questions posed by the media regarding the poor progress of his home state Bihar where his party had been in power for 15 years, Lalu said: "Bihar is a state that has been completly neglected since Independence. It has not received any substantial investment in any sector and this is the reason that the state has not developed."
To a remark by media quoting former railway minister Nitish Kumar who claimed that the profit of the railways was due to the reforms he (Nitish) had initiated Lalu gave figures that income during Nitish Kumar's tenure was Rs 2,350 crore (Rs 23.50 billion) (2000-2001), while now it had gone up to 13,612 crore (Rs 136.12 billion) in 2005-2006.
"Nitish Kumar had defaulted in paying dividends to the Centre worth Rs 1,823 crore (Rs 182.3 billion). Then, how can he claim that his steps had made the railway turn around?" Lalu said.

Although I knew I was ill, my biggest fear when I first came to see you was that you wouldn't consider me a serious enough case to admit for inpatient treatment. I know in your modesty you will insist that I was the only person responsible for helping myself, but you showed me the way. I know I still have a long way to go, but you have given me the determination, hope and strength to fight this battle to the very end. ..I am so very grateful to you for everything, but most importantly for giving me my life back.
No one has been more instrumental in my return to well-being than you yourself have been. It would be ill-mannered and presumptuous of me to make any judgement on the quality and efficiency of your medical care of my case. All I can truthfully, and most gratefully say is that you brought me most successfully through my illness with great confidence, sustained compassion and remarkable efficiency.
Thank you for helping me believe in myself again, for helping me value myself and for taking time to build me up again. I have found therapy with you invaluable and life changing and I just cannot express all you've done and how much I appreciate it all.
I am simply at a loss of how to express my very deepest and most sincere thanks, appreciation and gratitude to you for all the support, understanding and advice you have given to me. When I first came to see you, I was in such turmoil and crisis, that I could not see the wood for the trees. Your patience and understanding, and all that I have learned has really given me hope and you have truly challenged the way I see myself, life and others.
I just felt compelled to write to you and thank you from the bottom of my heart....I often think about how grateful I am that I met you when I needed help so very much. I honestly believe if I never had your guidance and support over that year, I would never have got through it. Thank you for giving me the strength to participate in life again. Keep up your fantastic work and be happy.

Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG), whose primary focus had been family planning for three decades, started to widen its scope in 1999 to cover other sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs, including HIV/AIDS. In this context, PPAG has embarked on a number of projects with a goal of increasing knowledge of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections, addressing high risk behaviors while reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS and STIs amongst prison inmates.
Prison inmates tend to have a higher HIV prevalence than the national average. The National Health and HIV Survey of Prison Inmates in Ghana (2013), the first nationally representative bio-behavioral survey of HIV and other key health problems of prison inmates in the country, disclosed that HIV prevalence among prison inmates in Ghana was 2.3% (male inmates: 1.5%, female inmates: 11.8%).
From 2001 to 2004, PPAG implemented the STI and HIV/AIDS Prevention Project among Prison Inmates in Kumasi Central Prisons, funded by the Japan Trust Fund with the goal to increase the knowledge of HIV/AIDS and reduce the incidence of STIs among young prison inmates as well as to increase their access to STI and VCT services.
In 2009, PPAG was selected as one of the principal recipients of the Global Fund. PPAG continued to train peer educators in each prison to reach the inmates with HIV/AIDS and STI prevention messages, conducted HIV testing and counseling activities, and facilitated access to treatment, care and support services for those infected with HIV and other STIs. Between January 2010 and June 2015, PPAG implemented grants worth US$ 3,137,859, thereby consistently improving performance over time. For this reason, PPAG was again nominated as a Principal Recipient of the Global Fund under the New Funding Model.


Just last month, Ford introduced its next-generation Fusion Hybrid autonomous development vehicle.
It was introduced at the Consumer Electronic Show and the North American International Auto Show. This new autonomous vehicle uses the current Ford autonomous vehicle platform. But the new car has increased processing power with new computer hardware. The electrical controls are also closer to being production ready. Adjustments to the sensor technology allow the car to better "see" what is going on around it. The "seeing" sensors have also had an updated placement. The new LiDAR sensors have been designed to be sleeker and have a more targeted field of vision. This now enables to the car to use just two sensors rather than the previous four sensors.
The next-generation Fusion Hybrid autonomous vehicle also has an evolved virtual driver system as well as an upgraded vehicle platform. This development vehicle follows the company's current generation which was introduced three years ago.
Ford Motor Company is also on a quest to build a high-volume and fully-autonomous SAE level four-capable vehicle by the year 2021. This is according to a blog post authored by Chris Brewer who is the chief program engineer for ford Autonomous Vehicle Development.
Isn't this some spectacular news? At Beach Automotive, we are waiting patiently Ford's first full production autonomous vehicles. We can't wait until they hit our lot. It's going to be an exciting time for sure. Until that day, though, we have all of Ford's regular human-drivable cars, trucks and unstoppable SUVs available for you to test drive. Have you looked a Ford vehicle lately?
If you have questions about this new technology or any other innovative technology in Ford's lineup, give Beach Ford a call today! Our experts are ready and waiting to hear from you! Call now!

European Officials at Internet Governance Forum in Baku Report their Laptops Hacked
BY Lisa Goldman | Friday, November 9 2012
Azerbaijan's hosting of the 7th annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has turned into something of a fiasco, with EU officials reporting their laptops hacked and an official from another European organization visiting the city during the forum for the purpose of lambasting the government for restricting freedom of speech and human rights.
The UN-sponsored event that takes place each year, with the purpose of discussing global Internet policies and freedom. Given Azerbaijan's extremely poor record in human rights and freedom of expression, the decision to allow Baku to host this year's IGF elicited protests from various human rights organizations.
Repressive, authoritarian states have hosted previous IGFs — Mubarak's Egypt in 2009 and Ben-Ali's Tunisia in 2005 — but this year's controversy has been significantly ratcheted up by two events: An official from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) visited Baku during the conference "to deliver scathing criticism of Azerbaijan's poor record on freedom of speech"; and two EU officials attending the event reported having their laptops hacked.
On the visit of the OSCE official, Radio Free Europe reports:
In Baku on November 7, Dunja Mijatovic, the OSCE representative on freedom of the media, called the crackdown by Azerbaijani authorities on journalists, rights supporters, and protesters an "embarrassing trend" for the oil-rich Caucasian nation.
The EU officials who had their laptops hacked in Baku tweeted about the incident; their tweets were picked up and reported by ZDNet:
The officials both work for digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes, who gave a speech at the forum on Wednesday in which she lambasted the Azeri government for spying on activists online, and promised to promote tools for helping journalists avoid surveillance.
"Great, now my Mac has been hacked," Kroes's spokesman, Ryan Heath, tweeted on Thursday morning. "Also @msprotonneutron [policy officer Camino Manjon] — I wonder who could have done that? #Azerbaijan."
On Wednesday Global Voices Advocacy posted about the severe limitations on freedom of expression in Azerbaijan, with a link to an open letter from Azerbaijani human rights activists and Express Online Initiative. The authors express concern not only over the IGF's being hosted by a country that has violated "UN main principles," but also at the IGF's refusal to allow Express Online Initiative to distribute its pamphlets on Internet freedom (or the lack thereof) in Azerbaijan.
[T]he Secretariat tried to prevent distribution of the Expression Online Initiative's reports Searching for Freedom: Online Expression in Azerbaijan and The Right to Remain Silent: Freedom of Expression in Azerbaijan ahead of the 7th Internet Governance Forum. The IGF coordinator told our representatives "You are not allowed to distribute these reports within IGF premises." Our attempt to distribute these reports, which examine issues in Azerbaijan which are directly relevant to the IGF, were perceived by the Secretariat as an attempt to "attack one of the stakeholder group," i.e. the Azerbaijani government.
Meanwhile, EU digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes gave a strongly worded speech at the forum on Wednesday, "...in which she lambasted the Azeri government for spying on activists online, and promised to promote tools for helping journalists avoid surveillance."
The next day, the two EU officials at the conference, both of whom work for Kroes, tweeted that their laptops had been hacked.

Domestic Violence as a Symptom: New Book to Help Survivors Heal
by Christina Cannes 3 February 2020
by Christina Cannes
In the United States, as many as one in four women and one in nine men are victims of domestic violence. In Australia, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner and 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men have experienced at least one incident of violence from a current or former partner since the age of 15.
To help survivors heal from the trauma of domestic violence and abuse – and educate people about domestic violence and its effects – survivor Christina Cannes wrote an ebook to share her knowledge and the tools that helped her heal from domestic violence and abuse. In this book, Christina will show you how to heal from the trauma of abuse and ways to recognise and keep toxic and abusive people out of your life.
"When people think of domestic violence, they picture a certain socioeconomic scenario," explained Christina. "They think of people living in poverty abusing drugs and alcohol and giving each other black eyes. And because of their situation in life, people assume that's just what happens – it's a stereotype. But that isn't the only scenario for domestic violence. Domestic violence effects everyone – especially future generations. And no one deserves it, no matter what their situation in life."
Christina Cannes grew up in the US. From the outside, her life looked golden. Raised in an affluent suburb with two parents – one a teacher and the other an engineer – she succeeded academically in her younger years; played sports such as tennis, softball and soccer; and had a group of heathy friends. No one knew what was really going on at home.
"By the time I hit high school, I was melting down," explained Christina. "I struggled with an eating disorder – bulimia – and began to fall into the familiar trap of drinking and hanging out with the wrong crowd. My good grades disappeared, I skipped school and the bulimia became so bad that my mother finally took me to a psychiatrist. But even with my psychiatrist, domestic violence and abuse was never discussed or explained. He just put me on Prozac and said I had a chemical imbalance in my brain. He didn't understand that I was being physically and emotionally abused. He never explained to me how unsafe and unhealthy my homelife actually was despite what I told him."
Police and courts did little to intervene. After four years of court battles her parents finally divorced and things settled down. Christina went on to graduate from university with honours and begin a successful career in marketing. Even in her twenties she abused alcohol to cope with and numb the past.
"While I knew my childhood was horrific, I still unconsciously thought it was all my fault," explained Christina. "Children don't understand why their parents hurt them. I had no self-esteem and I thought I was just broken. I fundamentally believed I did not deserve love and that I was not good enough. And I didn't have the tools to help myself."
"It wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties that I discovered what personality disorders were and how they contributed to abuse. After watching an investigative show about serial killer Ted Bundy, I realised that my father shared many of his same characteristics – severe narcissism (NPD) and psychopathy (Antisocial). I researched the disorder and although this allowed me to understand cognitively, my childhood abuse was not my fault, it did not change things on my subconscious level – I still believed they were my fault."
Flash forward to age 28, Christina had moved to Australia, married and given birth to a baby boy. Because Christina had not properly healed her abuse from childhood, she had unconsciously married a man just like her father and mother – narcissistic, showing signs of psychopathy and emotionally abusive.
"It wasn't until after the birth of my second child that I knew for sure something was terribly wrong."
Christina began seeing psychologists, one because she suspected post-natal depression, another to help her with anxiety, then another for the relationship.
"All up, I visited over seven psychologists during my seven-year marriage – even one a two-hour drive away – and none of them understood that I was being abused. None of them even muttered the word. Only one of them even made the connection between my childhood and the same patterns showing up in my marriage. I think it had a lot to do with how high-functioning I was – I looked healthy, had two beautiful kids, a great career, house – I didn't fit the perceived description of domestic violence. I wasn't being beaten, but I was being abused emotionally and financially."
It wasn't until her own marriage broke down that the word abuse was finally put on the table.
"I was back in the US visiting family. My husband had begun an affair with another woman, so I was trying to figure out what to do. I was scared and I didn't want to go see another psychologist, so I went to see a dear friend. She was the first one who had ever said to me, 'You are being abused and you have been abused your entire life.' As soon as I heard the word abuse it was a revelation. No one had ever explained it to me."
Christina came back to Australia to begin divorce proceedings knowing that she had a tricky battle on her hands.
"No one understands abuse unless they've been through it. When it comes to domestic violence, victims need protection and what I found is that police and courts are not equipped to handle it properly. There were some wonderful organisations, such as SCOPE, which helped me with DV support while I was dealing with protection orders and custody, but besides that, I was pretty much on my own – and it was terrifying."
What Christina found most distressful was how little support was available after the court orders were finally signed. Victims of domestic violence and abuse experience PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, similar to soldiers returning from war. But unlike soldiers, our battle can last for decades and leave us in a constant state of fight-or-flight, our health impacted by adrenal fatigue and burnout, and emotionally distressed while our children continue to visit the abusive former partner. A better classification is CPTSD, complex post–traumatic stress disorder. This is closely related to post–traumatic stress disorder but occurs when someone is exposed to prolonged or repeated trauma over a period of months or years.
"I was exhausted, alone, traumatised and scared. And I knew I needed to heal, not only from my recent divorce, but my childhood. I knew that my childhood was creating patterns in my life that kept repeating themselves and I didn't want to live like that anymore."
Christina decided to take a different route and began to work with professionals who helped her directly heal her abuse – by accessing her subconscious beliefs and processing stored trauma. These beliefs created during childhood (from the ages of 0 – 14), had laid the groundwork for what she would experience in her adult life. Because her childhood was abusive, she would therefore experience or perpetuate abuse later on.
"After four years of healing, I'm a new person," said Christina. "I am healthier and happier than I've ever been and so are my children. We have a wonderful life in Noosa – it's beyond what I thought was possible for me."
Inspired to help others, Christina wrote her book for people like her – those who have experienced abuse as a child or recently left an abusive relationship – and want to heal. But she's developed a quicker way to approach the process.
"I don't want people to spend years working on this stuff – I want them to heal fast so they can go on to live a great life."
"It's time we stopped normalising abuse and assuming that only certain types of people suffer from domestic violence – and that abuse is only physical. Abuse takes many forms including emotional, financial, spiritual, sexual. I want to give people tools to heal themselves and empower people to live their best lives free of abuse. No one should feel ashamed or guilty about being abused. I want to show them how to heal as quickly as possible."
"We also need to understand that domestic violence is not a stand-alone issue," explained Christina. "Domestic violence is a symptom of an abusive society. Trying to fix domestic violence within the confines of a society founded on abuse (power and control over people) will not work. We need to fix the root cause and that would require a complete overhaul of life as we know it. Imagine a society where all people are equal and violence has been eradicated because everyone has everything they need to survive. That would certainly solve so many of our problems, including violence against men, women and children."

A fresh look at the Judges!
I have read the Bible through over twenty times now and I am always amazed at the new and inspiring things I read each time.
While participating in our local church program this year called "Early Morning Light", I took a fresh look at the Judges of Israel.
I confess I have always seen these freedom fighters we call Judges, as being listed in chronological order from early until late as the book unfolds. Recently I began to look at a different possibility.
It appears that they possibly are listed not in chronological order, but in the region of the country they lived and served. The book would in this case be given to us in a region by region account for no Judge ruled over all twelve tribes. Their battles when viewed on a map certainly cover different regions of the nation.
If this supposition is accurate, then rather than Samson being at the end of the reign of Judges, he would actually live during the last twenty years of Eli's time of Judging Israel. This would also, by the longevity of his tenure, push him into the years of Samuel as Judge as well.
For me, this is a radical transition from a lifetime of thinking. Is it possible? Probable? Some scholars seem to believe it so.
If this format holds true, the book of Judges would deal with the Northern most territories first with the major campaign being actioned by Deborah and her great battle and ultimate victory. Bible historians list this as the first major section of the book.
The book would then shift eastward and relate to us the important battle of that region with the campaign of Gideon. This would be seen as the second great period of history.
This would be followed by the Southeastern region of this nation wide recording of the Judges and finally end with the Southwestern area and Samson. This would be the third and final time of historical reporting of the Judges.
If this hypothesis is accurate, the battle at which the Ark was captured would coincide with Samson's capture, Eli's death, and the years of Philistine supremacy. It would also mean that the book is not chronological as much as it is a regional accounting of the campaigns of the Judges that possibly overlapped or coincided at times.
I do not know if this thinking is accurate or even relevant. I know it provokes me to want to know more, think more, and meditate more.
The Bible is the greatest book in my life. Nothing else is even in the comparison. It stands alone, mammoth, towering, and sublime.
To study the Bible, to ponder it, to discuss it, to debate it, is truly one of my life's greatest joys!
If these few paragraphs stimulate thought or debate, then I am content. For what can be more worthy of discussion and thought than the immutable Word of God.
To discuss this grand Word is truly exciting and invigorating! May it ever live in your heart and mind!

People expect that the household products they purchase at stores around Missouri and Southern Illinois will be safe for them to use. Unfortunately, consumers' products that have major design defects or manufacturing defects can result in serious physical injuries to adults and children. Consumer safety is not always put ahead of profits, and companies may put their customers at risk.
At Brown & Crouppen, in St. Louis and Kansas City, our attorneys provide representation for a wide range of dangerous and defective product liability lawsuits. We understand what our clients are faced with after a serious injury and have spent more than a quarter of a century holding companies accountable for their negligence.
Did you know? In the state of Missouri, a person has three years to bring a product liability action from the time or her she becomes aware of the loss, the defect and the identity of the manufacturer.
When manufacturers and distributors take appropriate steps to ensure consumer safety and implement safety measures, people may be protected from dangerous and defective products.
"While you were unable to take the pain away, you did give me back my life. For this, I thank you." – John K.
For more information regarding product liability lawsuits involving household products, contact us at Brown & Crouppen and schedule an appointment for a free initial consultation. Call our office as soon as possible at 800-536-4357.

Can opportunistic encryption improve browser security?
Opportunistic encryption offers encryption for servers that don't support HTTPS. Expert Michael Cobb explains how it works and how it can help Web security.
I've been reading about opportunistic encryption and how it will be featured in a new version of Mozilla's Firefox Web browser. What is opportunistic encryption, and when would it be ideal to use in my enterprise?
When a Web browser connects to a Web server using HTTPS, all traffic to and from the server is encrypted -- which protects against eavesdropping and tampering -- and ensures the browser is communicating with the server with which it intended. For a server to support HTTPS, it needs a digital certificate issued by a browser-recognized certificate authority, and it needs to implement TLS protection through OpenSSL or a similar cryptographic code library. However, even sites that support HTTPS may not be able to fully encrypt all the content in their pages because of embedded ads or other third-party content that's transmitted from the server where it's hosted over a plaintext HTTP connection.
Opportunistic encryption (OE) provides unauthenticated encryption over TLS for servers that don't support HTTPS, ensuring data that would otherwise be sent in cleartext can be encrypted. It uses the new HTTP/2 protocol, and although it isn't a replacement for TLS, as it's not authenticated, it does provide better confidentiality and integrity than a purely plaintext HTTP connection. OE was included in Firefox 37, which was released on March 31, but was disabled in the Firefox 37.0.1 update, issued just three days later, because of its use of Alternative Services (Alt-Svc).
OE is a related but separate feature that depends on Alt-Svc. A security issue in Mozilla's HTTP Alt-Svc implementation gave attackers an easy way to present fake TLS certificates that wouldn't be detected by the browser. The problem occurred when an Alt-Svc header was specified in the HTTP/2 response, as it allowed certificate verification to be bypassed for the specified alternate server. This resulted in warnings of invalid SSL certificates not being displayed to the user, so an attacker could potentially impersonate another site by replacing the original certificate with their own through a man-in-the-middle attack. Mozilla explained that the issue was an implementation problem in Firefox's processing of Alt-Svc -- not a protocol problem -- and that it planned to re-enable OE once the problem had been fully resolved.
According to the Internet Engineering Task Force's draft of Alt-Svc, Alt-Svc enables "an alternative service for HTTP, which allows an origin's resources to be authoritatively available at a separate network location, possibly accessed with a different protocol configuration." The alternative service is essentially routing information that can also be used to reach the origin in the same way that DNS CNAME or SRV records define routing information at the name resolution level. When Web servers are configured correctly to provide a specific response header, OE will begin routing requests it would normally send in cleartext to port 80 onto the indicated encrypted port instead -- most likely port 443. Although the transaction is routed to a different port, the origin of the resource won't have changed.
Although OE can't validate that a connected server is operated by the organization claiming ownership, it will make it harder for cybercriminals to monitor or manipulate everyday Internet communications. Long term it does have the potential to enable all Internet traffic to be encrypted. OE isn't available on servers running HTTP/1, but although HTTP/2 isn't yet finalized, it is supported by popular Web servers, such as Apache and Nginx, and by Microsoft's Internet Information Servers in Windows 10 and most of the major browsers.

Q: In epsilon n proofs, how is the index of the sequence related to the expression n>N I was attempting to understand an epsilon n proof when this was the stated chain of implications:
$$\forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N_2 > 1 : n + 1 \geq N_2 \implies | c_n - L | < \epsilon$$
Then:
$$\forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N_2 > 1 : n  \geq N_2 \implies | c_{n-1} - L | < \epsilon$$
Is this step "mathematically sound", and if so, is there some possible intuition behind this that could aid in my understanding?
Many thanks!

A: Yes, that is correct. Take $\varepsilon>0$. You are assuming that there is some $N_2\in\Bbb N\setminus\{1\}$ such that $n+1\geqslant N_2\implies|c_n-L|<\varepsilon$. But then, if $n\geqslant N_2$, you have $(n-1)+1\geqslant N_2$, and therefore $|c_{n-1}-L|<\varepsilon$.

A: $$n + 1 \geq N_2 \implies | c_n - L | < \epsilon$$
says that $| c_n - L | < \epsilon $ is true for all $n \geq N_2-1.$
which is the same as saying that $| c_{n-1} - L | < \epsilon $ is true for all $n \geq N_2.$
To convince yourself, replace $N_2$ with a positive integer.

The Limits of "Transactional" Citizenship
Social Studies Opinion
By Rick Hess — October 04, 2010 3 min read
Last week, I talked a bit about the results of the new Farkas-Duffett study High Schools, Civics, and Citizenship: What Social Studies Teachers Think and Do. (Full disclosure: The study was commissioned and published by my shop at AEI).
Some of the key findings--particularly the fact that public school teachers feel like social studies have been deemphasized in recent years--are unsurprising. Over the last decade, and especially since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act, Americans have come increasingly to speak of education as "the new civil right." This has usefully focused educators, advocates, and policymakers on student achievement and preparing their charges for careers or college, but this healthy emphasis has also come with the unfortunate consequence of devaluing civic education.
From the dawn of the Western tradition, dating back to Plato, Aristotle, and their contemporaries, education has been regarded as essential to the formation of good citizens and the cultivation of a proper attachment to the state. For America's founders such as Benjamin Rush, Noah Webster, and Thomas Jefferson, one of the main functions of schools was producing democratic citizens. In Rush's telling phrase, schools should mold "republican machines" who will support and defend their nation.
In recent decades, however, as education has come to be seen as the path to personal and professional advancement, the private purposes of schooling have assumed a heightened import. This is crystallized in President Barack Obama's oft-repeated goal to ensure that all students are "college- or career-ready" by 2020. As the tangible economic benefits of schooling have become central to policy thinking, the teaching of citizenship has become increasingly peripheral.
When citizenship is spoken of today, it is more and more in a "transactional" sense--with citizenship understood as the basket of skills and attitudes (how to shake hands, speak properly, and be punctual) that will help students attend prestigious colleges and obtain desirable jobs. There was a temporary exception to this tendency following the attacks of 9/11, when politicians, teachers, and parents were briefly awakened to the importance of teaching students their privileges and responsibilities as American citizens. But the enthusiasm for this project soon waned and was quickly swept aside by the increased focus on proficiency and graduation rates.
Americans have entered the twenty-first century--an epoch punctuated by debates over immigration, religious tolerance, and the role of government--with their schools devoting remarkably little attention to the formation of sound democratic citizens. A focus on academic performance, along with concerns about provoking controversy, have in many places demoted talk of citizenship to assemblies, ceremonies, or the occasional social studies lesson.
My hope is that we can set course upon a larger effort to rethink and reinvigorate the civic mission of schools. In doing so, simple pieties presuming that traditional publicly-operated district schools will inevitably do this well--or that virtual schools or private schools do not or cannot serve these public purposes--require a fundamental rethinking. Indeed, this is the precisely the challenge I pose to would-be reformers and "defenders" of public schooling in The Same Thing Over and Over, due out next month from Harvard University Press.
As history teaches us only too well, democracy is not self-perpetuating. If we believe good citizenship matters--if it is not just a means to help students graduate and get good jobs--then we need to actually value it. It should not be justified only in terms of student achievement, but because it is what holds this country together.

How VPX is Helping Build Tomorrow's Interoperable Military Systems
Tuesday, June 22, 2021 5:04 AM | VITA Marketing (Administrator)
Ken Grob, Director, Embedded Computing Products, Elma Electronic
The objectives of MOSA—to improve system capabilities, compatibility and cost—are predicated on a tight collaboration between government and industry. Although each service branch of the military has a model or view of what they need in their standards to produce the systems they require, a common goal of interoperability has re-shaped the military electronics landscape over these past few years.
Interoperability is an important concept when looking to gain an advantage in executing compute processes through the hardware that is being used to build embedded systems. (Figure 1)
Figure 1. Government and industry collaboration on open standards helps drive greater innovation and efficiency in building defense platforms.
What do we need in order to connect things in a system that the DoD may use? The major elements include a network system infrastructure and the communications being driven across high-speed Ethernet. But there are several other elements embedded in the architecture that need consideration. These can include synchronization and precision timing signals for navigation, system management to monitor modules for health and power systems that enable the modules to operate.
The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) is the governing standard that makes use of other open standards, which fall under the SOSA umbrella and all adhere to the MOSA approach. One of these, OpenVPX, or VITA 65, is essentially the hardware standard for DoD modules aligned to SOSA.
Quick Review of OpenVPX's Main Elements
Let's look under the hood of OpenVPX. Managed by VITA, it is a family of proven, VITA-based open standards. The first thing to note is that it defines specific slot module profiles to limit the ways that components can interface, reducing potential incompatibility. System management is handled through VITA 46.11, a standard that covers chassis and system management concepts.
Similarly, a common way to apply power to the system is defined, allowing for standard PSU modules that can address the need for both 3U and 6U systems. OpenVPX normalizes the power module interface definition through a subgroup, VITA 62, so there is consistency across LRUs.
Support for higher power modules through new cooling techniques are part of OpenVPX, too. Through the SOSA hardware standard, the modules are also aligned with CMOSS and HOST, covering the needs of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
OpenVPX Keeps Up with Industry Changes
The needs of a market don't stand still. Take Ethernet and PCIe for example. From 1980 to 2020, Ethernet has gone from 10 MB to 1 GB, and then from 10 to 25 and up to 100 GB, as the need for faster speed keeps increasing. (Figure 2)
Figure 2. The trend in Ethernet speeds has been increasing exponentially, with 400 GB/s speeds on the horizon.
PCIe is how we move data across modules and systems. It started at 2.5 Gigatransfers, then 5, now 8, and is moving into the realm of 16 Gigatransfers a second. These two trends enable embedded designers to implement faster designs within OpenVPX. The industry is doing this by adopting the standards and implementing the backplane technology necessary to build advanced military systems.
To plug different cards together and ensure interoperability, there needs to be a consistent way to pin them out, and map them, so there's alignment with the signals and ultimately, for the boards to be interconnected via a backplane. OpenVPX provides a method to communicate or interface the cards together, in a consistent way, so time is not spent on making elements work together. Instead, development efforts can focus on building out system functionality.
Let's consider some other works that have shaped OpenVPX over the last few years. Out of an initiative through the US Army, a hardware convergence architecture was formed that brought in new concepts, such as higher speed interconnects, to network connected communications. The use of new fiber optic and RF connectors, radio plot schemes for timing and a look towards higher power densities in the module were also brought into the VPX fold.
Responding to Trends in System Design
Two additional trends include systems becoming more complex as well as the increased need for synchronization to standardize the way timing is done amongst the cards. OpenVPX has taken on that challenge and defined a radial clock strategy and timing slot. This timing card produces timing information and generates clock signals that can be distributed down the backplane.
Higher bandwidth requirements have put pressures on system backplanes, which now need to operate 2.5x faster than even a year or two ago. This has evolved into new high-speed backplane implementations that leverage new signal integrity and simulation models and connectors that go from 10 to 25 Gb, with switching speed supported by the connectors. (Figure 3)
Figure 3. High-speed backplanes now operate 2.5x faster than just a few years ago (Elma Electronic backplanes aligned to SOSA)
As time goes on, modules have moved from 40 W to 60 W and up towards 130 W, depending on the need per module. Doing this in a conduction cooled way is difficult and causes us to have to look at other approaches. Air flow-through (AFT), VITA 48.8, pushes more air through a module to be able to cool it in a modified conduction cooled sort of way, by driving air through the modules to vent the cards and take heat away. Liquid flow-through (LFT), VITA 48.4, is another new cooling standard providing a roadmap to allow solutions requiring more power to use liquid cooling capabilities.
Continued Development in Open Standards Architectures
OpenVPX is a living standard, moving forward with new challenges as the technological needs of military platforms evolve, constantly addressing how new technologies can be incorporated into a rugged system to implement requirements mandated by the DoD.
In summary, future DoD systems are being affected or driven by the modular open system architecture approach and the need for current technologies. These are impacting new systems and will affect future designs, chassis, backplanes, power requirements, etc. This brief look under the hood of what OpenVPX provides shows it's a supported, active standard that is here today and will grow to meet DoD future system needs. It fits nicely with MOSA and higher-level standards of SOSA, CMOSS and HOST as well as provides a hardware standard that allows MOSA to achieve its goals
