Ethiopia pulls WHO boss Tedros' nomination for 'supporting' TPLF
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

By Aggrey Mutambo
Senior Diplomatic Writer
Ethiopia's government on Thursday said it will not support the re-election of Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, its national, for his second term as director-general of the World Health Organisation, as political differences in the country played out on the world stage.
In a bizarre letter to the WHO executive board, Ethiopia's ministry of foreign affairs said Dr Tedros, himself a former foreign minister, threatens the organisational integrity of the WHO because he has taken sides with a proscribed group in his native country.
"He has not lived up to the integrity and professional expectations required from his office and position," says a letter sent to the board, currently chaired by Dr Patrick Amoth, the Kenyan obstetrician and gynaecologist and director-general of the Ministry of Health.

"He has been interfering with the internal affairs of Ethiopia including Ethiopia's relations with the state of Eritrea…(and) continues as an active member and supporter of the TPLF (Tigray People's Liberation Front) that is proscribed as a terrorist group by the Ethiopian parliament."
Ethiopia said it wants the board, a 34-member body, to investigate his conduct, saying he had violated his "professional and legal responsibility". But the letter was sent ahead of a crucial 150th session of the board when it will "screen" the candidacy of Dr Tedros for his second term.
The board is due to meet for its annual meeting on January 24-29 to agree on the agenda for the World Health Assembly as well as vet candidates for the upcoming elections for director-general due in May during the 75th World Health Assembly.
The Assembly will vote only on candidates submitted by the board and since the nominations closed in November, only the Ethiopian incumbent has shown interest in the seat.
In October, Kenya, Rwanda and Botswana wrote to the board endorsing Dr Tedros's candidacy.
Candidacy is also supported by the European Union
Nairobi's diplomats say Kenya supports Dr Tedros to complete his maximum tour of two five-year terms because it is "Africa's turn". Having served under two critical disease outbreaks - the Ebola epidemic in the DRC in 2018 and Covid-19 pandemic since late 2019 - Dr Tedros has passed his toughest exams yet, Kenya says.
His candidacy is also supported by the European Union, Barbados, Bahrain, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Malta, Oman, Indonesia and Kazakhstan. Traditionally, one only needs to be nominated by any of the 194 members of the WHO Assembly, not necessarily his or her home country, to contest the seat.
But Ethiopia wants him out of the race for allegedly blowing the TPLF horn on the world stage. Earlier in 2021, Addis Ababa claimed he had tried to acquire arms and diplomatic backing for the TPLF (Tigray People's Liberation Front), a movement that was part of the ruling coalition when he served as minister, but which Ethiopia now considers a terrorist group.
The TPLF has been fighting Ethiopian and allied regional militia forces since November. Dr Tedros denied siding with the TPLF, and claimed his own family had been hurt in the conflict.
On Thursday, Ethiopia said he had celebrated TPLF victories and engaged in selective outrage, including exaggerating the humanitarian situation in Ethiopia.
Dr Tedros has not yet responded to the criticism, but has in the past denied previous accusations by Ethiopia, even though he admitted his relatives had been affected by the war in Tigray.
The board, according to Resolution WHA65.15 of the Assembly, can only reject a candidate if it is proved he lacks a technical background in a health field, lacks demonstrable leadership and advocacy skills, is incompetent, lacks sensibility to cultural, social and political differences, is in poor health or has violated WHO or UN codes of conduct.
Born in March 1965 in Asmara, the capital of today's Eritrea, the Ethiopian biologist was Ethiopia's minister for health and later for foreign affairs under prime minister Meles Zenawi and later Hailemariam Desalegn.
He was credited for lowering new HIV infections in his country at the time and pioneering a universal healthcare system Ethiopia has tried to implement.
When he took over as director-general of WHO in 2017, he became the first African to do so, the first person to be voted in from multiple candidates and the only non-medic to hold the seat.
His campaign was fronted by both Ethiopia and Kenya, received an endorsement from the African Union and was widely supported by China, against the US, UK and Canada, which had backed a British medic, David Nabarro, for the job.

El Mayor Tequila, Exotico Tequila & Pearl Vodka recognized as preferred spirits among consumers
(St. Louis) June 29, 2015 — El Mayor Tequila, Exotico Tequila and Pearl Vodka earned eight awards at the 7th annual Spirits International Prestige (SIP) Awards competition held May 31, 2015, in Newport Beach, California.
Three of the four varieties of El Mayor Tequila earned accolades, as did both varieties of Exotico Tequila – all are made in Mexico and imported by St. Louis-based Luxco. In addition, Pearl Vodka's three newly-launched flavors were honored with awards. The brands won the prestigious Best of Class, Platinum, Gold and Silver awards at the competition.
"Our tequilas are made with 100 percent agave from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, on the Gonzalez family estate," says Laura Bogart, brand manager at Luxco. "Four generations of the Gonzalez family have claimed a birthright to the art and craft of hand growing, cultivating and distilling agave, and we are honored that El Mayor and Exotico tequilas were recognized for their excellence."
Pearl Vodka's Lime Basil, Vanilla Bean and Strawberry Basil new flavors were recognized as well. "Pearl's new flavors were inspired by the growing popularity of infusing vodka with fruits and herbs and will provide the base for refreshing cocktails this summer," says Ashley Ulkus, brand manager at Luxco. "Pearl Vodka continues to offer consumers innovative flavors, as well as a new look this spring with updated packaging."
The awards include:
El Mayor 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila:

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 FE rebirth is imminent
Chris Davies - Jun 27, 2017, 11:56am CDT
All eyes may be on the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but the phone maker's ill-fated Note 7 will beat it to shelves as it gets a post-recall rebirth. Samsung was forced to make a costly and complex turnaround and demand back every single Galaxy Note 7 sold, after a number of the flagship smartphones burst into flames. The problem was subsequently blamed on the battery design, and now Samsung has a fix.
An investigation after the recall suggested Samsung's aggressive chase for the thinnest possible phone was the problem. As a result, Samsung committed to a new, 8-step battery safety check process for all future devices. South Korean regulators, meanwhile, promised tough new regulations that all manufacturers would have to abide by.
However, having sunk no small amount of cash into making millions of Note 7 handsets, Samsung clearly wanted to recover some of that investment rather than writing it all off. Its answer was a refurbished version, the company confirmed in March, updated to meet the new safety guidance and sold off at a cheaper price. Samsung even gave it a new name, the Galaxy Note 7 FE, where FE stands for "Fan Edition" or "Fandom Edition".
What we weren't sure of at the time was how much the refurbished Note 7 would cost, where it might be sold, and when. According to sources speaking to the WSJ, however, there won't actually be long to wait. Indeed, fans of the phone in South Korea will apparently be able to buy it from July 7.
There, it's expected to be priced under 700,000 South Korean won, or the equivalent of just over $600. That might change, the sources suggested, according to market whims. "At most" there will be 400,000 handsets shared among the three major South Korean carriers, it's said. As for outside of South Korea, there'll supposedly be a "relatively modest inventory" for a list of countries yet to be announced; so far, it's unclear whether the US will be among those regions.
Samsung might decide, in fact, to avoid the US altogether, and focus instead on the upcoming Galaxy Note 8. That's expected to follow the Galaxy S8 in form-factor, with a curved Super AMOLED display – and S Pen stylus support, as per all previous Note family devices – but throw in a dual-camera system that could add an optical zoom and iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode-style faux bokeh filter. As for when it might reach shelves, there are signs that won't be far off either.

I think current attempts to express grief in literature are underpowered. And this grief can be for anything—people you've known, things you think you remember but fear you don't, a story's original language, that song that never comes on on the radio anymore, &c.
I thought: "You reach a moment in life when, among the people you have known, the dead outnumber the living. And the mind refuses to accept more faces, more expressions: on every new face you encounter, it prints the old forms, tor each one it finds the most suitable mask."
The stevedores climbed the steps in a line, bent beneath demijohns and barrels; their faces were hidden by sackcloth hoods; "Now they will straighten up and I will recognize them," I thought, with impatience and fear. But I could not take my eyes off them; if I turned my gaze just a little toward the crowd that crammed those narrow streets, I was assailed by unexpected faces, reappearing from far away, staring at me as if demanding recognition, as if to recognize me, as if they had already recognized me. Perhaps, for each of them, I also resembled someone who was dead. I had barely arrived at Adelma and I was already one of them, I had gone over to their side, absorbed in that kaleidoscope of eyes, wrinkles, grimaces.
I thought: "Perhaps Adelma is the city where you arrive dying and where each finds again the people he has known. This means I, too, am dead." And I also thought: "This means the beyond is not happy."
I write and do a little math, and I'll keep trying to do so. Seriously, drop me a line.


. (The Blues) Wilko Johnson, Band Of Friends and Ian Siegal are among the winners at this year's European Blues Awards. The list of recipients was revealed during the Carlisle International Blues Festival over the weekend, with presentations to be made in the coming days.
Terminal cancer victim Johnson was given a gong in recognition of his lifetime contribution to European blues. Band Of Friends, created by former Rory Gallagher bandmates Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna, were named best band.
Siegal won the best vocalist award while Virgil McMahon was named best guitarist. Several of the award-winning acts will appear at the inaugural HRH Blues Festival in Wales next March, sponsored by The Blues Magazine. See the winners list.


aka Recent studies have shown that approximately 40% of authors are sad puppies. The rest of us just drink.
You want to talk about slates of nominees and culture wars and take-overs? Fine, let's talk about that. Because you know what I want to see for the 2016 Hugo awards?
I want to see Welcome to Night Vale up for awards in Best Novel and Best Dramatic Presentation. I want to see Stephen Universe and Agent Carter and whatever anime is big right now. I want to see Homestuck. I want to see something from the OTW and I want at least one videogame up for Long Form and one DLC/expansion up in Short Form. I want to see fanfic writers and fanartists up for their categories. I want to see someone get nominated purely on force of their Tumblr.
Whether or not I like the individual nominations doesn't matter. I just want to see them, because seeing them will tell me the Hugos are relevant again. That they mean something to kids who were born after the invention of the personal computer, let alone born this century. You want to talk about logrolling an awards ceremony? Tumblr fandom is orders of magnitude bigger than the voting pool for the current Hugos. If y'all want those awards, they're yours. No old greybeard muttering about "true fans" and "golden age SFF" can take that away from you. Literally not; by numbers alone there just aren't enough of them.
First, the issue is not about literary fiction versus pulp adventure fiction. The Social Justice Warriors do not write literary fiction, they write boring lectures and finger-wagging trash. They are members of a clique who have controlled the awards for about a decade.
For the record, I write literary fiction, and Larry Correia writes pulp, and he and I are on the same team.
So Brad Torgersen, leader of the Sad Puppy campaign for this year, has a post up on his blog called "Fisking The Broken Narrative". Fisking, for the uninitiated, is an art from in which one takes a written work, quotes the whole or majority of it in-line, broken up with zingers a la Mystery Science Theater. At least, that's my understanding of the typical fisking. The Sad Puppies seem more inclined to just rant and rave in the interstices, and Torgersen in particular spends more time reacting to what it would have been convenient for his narrative for the source editorial to have said than he does responding to the actual text…..
Mr. Maroney, the individual whom Torgersen was attempting to fisk, did in his source attempt to gently clue the Puppies in to the inadvisability of labeling their opponents "reactionary" while holding a stated goal of "stop people from trying to change things and bring it back to the way it used to be", but all Torgersen appeared to take away from it was "STOP SAYING MEAN THINGS". We could speculate about whether this was due to an inability to comprehend the point or a tactical decision to only respond in ways that further the Puppy's narrative, but I don't see the percentage in it.
The Sad Puppies are a group of writers and other fans dissatisfied with what they saw as a trend in the Hugo process toward overrepresentation of "liberal" works at the expense of traditional, meat-and-potatoes science fiction and fantasy. So in 2014 they gamed the Hugo nomination system to place nominees in several Hugo Award categories. What the Puppies did was very simple: They encouraged people to buy Worldcon supporting memberships and vote for the Puppy slate of nominees, and they got one or two nominees into several categories. These "Sad Puppy 2" nominees failed to land any trophies; in fact, with the exception of Toni Weisskopf in the Best Editor, Long Form, the SP2 finalists came in last in every category. And, like any well-intentioned, thoughtful group of principled actors, the Sad Puppies responded by encouraging the attention of a group of woman-hating terrorists.
So, is there really too much diversity on the ballot? This might not be a popular observation, but I can personally see a clear political agenda, at least in the US and Northern Europe, to increase acceptance of diversity. Everyone must have noticed this. Diversity is billed as a good thing, something we should respect that can bring in new ideas and new ways of doing things. It also implies acceptance of differences like gender, LGBTQ status, religion, disability, race, national origin, etc., etc., etc. But, the truth is that diversity makes us all nervous. Political scientist Robert Putnam, researching community trends in 2000, made the inconvenient discovery that greater diversity in a community leads to less trust, less volunteering, less cooperation, less voting and less civic engagement in general for average members of the community. As a liberal, Putnam was so disturbed by this finding that he waited until 2007 to publish the results, i.e. that diversity damages communities.
I've been silent about the whole disgusting Hugo mess, but frankly I'm shocked by some of the mainstream coverage it's been getting. For the record, many people on the "puppy ballot" were never asked permission, like my business partner, Sheila Gilbert, who has no affiliation with any puppies, but will not withdraw because (in my opinion and that of her authors) she damn well deserves a Hugo after 45 years dedicated to editing Science Fiction and Fantasy. Personally I think the puppies are fucked. There has always been a "Wellsian and Vernian" split in the field, but this takeover of the award is just abominable! Not only New Republic has spoken out against them, but now, the Wall Street Journal.
I am personally grateful to George R. R. Martin for bravely supporting the rational and historical side of the Hugo brouhaha. As someone who has been attending conventions since age six (1958) I can say there have always been political divisions in our field, but prior to the internet neither political side has had the power (nor inclination!) to game the field's most prestigious award. If you look at the novels that have won the Hugos over the decades. You will see that as many are great adventure yarns as books with political messages. It's really pretty even. But this current fiasco is just plain disgusting. Also, as an editor, it makes me angry to see a writer as important as GRRM having to spend his valuable time informing ignorant people about the history of worldcon and the history of the Hugos.
It's been very revealing during the various bursts of rage at the Sad Puppies by traditionally published authors and their publishers. We're getting to see that dislike, that disdain, that 'second (or possibly far lower) class citizen, should not be allowed to vote, aren't 'Real Fans', should be put in a dog-pound (we're not human, and there is no need to treat us as such, apparently. Now I do understand that as far as this monkey is concerned, but most of the pups, their supporters and friends are as human as their detractors.) You get editors like Betsy Wolheim at DAW telling us filthy hoi polloi "as an editor, it makes me angry to see a writer as important as GRRM having to spend his valuable time informing ignorant people about the history of worldcon and the history of the Hugos." Thanks Betsy. A good spin attempt to blame us for GRRM's decisions. He's adult, he can decide what he wants to do. We pig-ignorant revolting peasants can't actually MAKE him do anything. He wasn't going to write any more if Bush was re-elected IIRC. The tide of BS from this has overflowed my gum boots.
James May, who keeps posting here, is the gift that never stops giving. In one of his most recent posts, he insists once again that the SJW (social justice warrior) hordes are a menace to science fiction. So, in this essay, I will go through his points one at a time to show how ridiculous they are whether examined in part or (especially) as a whole…..
Slates are extremely powerful. In normal voting everyone reads different stuff and has different tastes, so no one work will receive more than maybe 10% of the nominating votes. But slate voters agree to vote on the same five nominees for each category. This means a slate needs to come up with about 10% of the nominating votes to sweep every category. The 90% of individual voters are swamped and overwhelmed by the 10% of slate voters. Lest you think I am exaggerating, over two thirds of the slots on this year's Hugo ballot are on the Sad Puppy Slate or the Rabid Puppy Slate, or both.
While the extreme sexist and racist attitudes of some of the slate organizers sickens me, it is the damage to the Hugo awards that will be done by slates that motivated me to get involved this year. I don't want slates of progressive writers either.
You can find Zombie Nation online, but there's no way to tell what is included in the nominated collection. I've been boldly reading the comic from the start, powering through, but I'm only up to 2013 strips, so it's taking a while. But, you can look at any 2014 work from Zombie Nation and use that to evaluate Carter Reid for Fan Artist if you don't want to wait for Zombie Nation to hit the voter's packet (or attempt to read five years of strips).
I quickly followed reading Ancillary Justice with the sequel, Ancillary Sword. It was as good and as engrossing, bringing with it new aspects of the universe and the characters. If a sequel ever deserved as many awards as the original, this one certainly does. It is a magnificent world given to us by a magnificent writer. I can't way for the third book. I definitely have a new author to add to my list of favorites. I can't wait to see what she does next. Her nomination for this year's Hugo Awards is justly deserved.
This wants so badly to be an allegorical fable in the manner of C.S. Lewis's Narnia. And it fails so, so badly.
I love the idea behind "The Plural of Helen of Troy," by John C. Wright. There's a City Beyond Time, Metachronopolis, with shining towers and bridges and gardens. Fog caused by too many time changes shrouds the lower towers, and in the upper stories live the Masters, who control the forces of time. Unfortunately there's something of a fog on the story as well.
[DF adjusts speakers. SWAT team Irish step dances down the street, never to be seen again. DF sighs, moves to mailbox, muttering] I wonder if John C. Wright will loan me some of his Vatican Ninjas. It's not like he gets SWATted like this. He's a living brain in a jar, what are they going to slap the handcuffs on?
@tcmccarthy_ I've been hoping that the Sad Puppies phenom will lead to a separate SF fandom. If you hear anything about this, please tweet!

Anyway, just popping out of lurkdom to thank both gentlemen for their time and expertise, which have illuminated much of this whole Sad fiasco.

ONEUS Talks About A Spooky Experience They Had While Recording Their New Album
by Y. Shin
ONEUS recently talked about a supernatural experience they had while recording their new album!
On May 29, a press conference was held in Seoul for the release of the group's second mini album "RAISE US."
During the event, Seoho commented, "There was a moment that made me think that this album would do really well. While recording a track in the recording studio, there was a power outage. Apparently, there had never been a power outage in the RBW recording studio. So that was the first time."
He continued, "What's fascinating is that although the power went off, the computer was still on. I thought that maybe this was a sign from a kind ghost who wanted to help 'RAISE US.'"
On May 29 at 6 p.m. KST, ONEUS made their first comeback and released the music video for their title track "Twilight." Check out the music video here!


Change how you look at cooking and food storage with the VacMaster® Prep, Cook, Package system. VacMaster® has been producing commercial vacuum sealers for almost three decades. Our professional quality products will simplify any cooking and processing tasks with our revolutionary technology. Bring vacuum sealing technology to your kitchen with our innovatively designed machines. Professional chefs all over the globe are using vacuum packaging, so why shouldn't you? With our durable quality design and money saving method, you'll be rolling in the savings in no time. Store and protect any items you want with our super strong vacuum and seal. Foods lose flavor and nutrition when placed in a bag full of air, but when you remove that air with VacMaster® vacuum sealers, food lasts up to five times longer! Vacuum packaging can be used countless ways, giving you options for packaging, cooking and prepping. While mostly used for food preservation, vacuum packaging is perfect for a whole host of tasks. Trust the cutting edge technology in our Prep, Cook, Package system, to revitalize your kitchen and your life! Enjoy the professional way at home!
Clear up your finances. Vacuum packaging will save you money, by protecting your food. Each year about 40 percent of all food in the United States goes uneaten. Our vacuum sealers keep food fresh up to five times longer than traditional storage systems, so you don't have to constantly go through the fridge and throw out wasted food.
Clear up your freezer. Don't waste any more space on bulky boxes and oddly shaped containers. Now the space will only be taken up by the actual food itself…vacuum packaged, of course. With the separate vacuum packed items, organization is easy and food can be quickly identified through the clear bags.
Vacuum packaging can help with keeping food prep from dirtying your kitchen. So if you are making a chicken piccata that requires very thin pieces of meat, vacuum packing keeps the mess to a minimum. Vacuum package the chicken before pounding and you don't have to bother about meat juice splatter or cleaning another plate or cutting board. The vacuum seal keeps the juices contained and the kitchen counter clean! You can even put a marinade into the bag to infuse the chicken at the same time, to speed up the cooking process. Make cleanup a snap!
Don't waste time boxing up the winter clothes you aren't going to use for the summer instead just vacuum package your out-of-season clothing. You won't have to worry about mildew with VacMaster's heavy duty plastic bag protecting your clothing. Keep your clothes safe and secure from moisture and dry rot with vacuum packaging.
Vacuum packaging is all about your convenience. VacMaster® bags and pouches are designed so that you can cook right in the bag if in a rush. Need a quick dinner? Just grab a vacuum packaged bag of food and boil in water until cooked. Cut the edge of the bag, being careful to keep hand away from the steam, and eat! If you cook vacuum packaged soup in water and serve out of the bag, there is almost no clean-up other than utensils and bowls. You can also cook food before vacuum packaging it, and then later put the bag in the microwave for a minute or so.
Don't worry about cooking too much food and having it go to waste. With a vacuum sealing machine, leftovers are your friend! Cook as much food as you like and keep it stored and secure in the freezer until another night. You can cook meals for the entire week on Sunday night and just vacuum package then reheat them. You can cook large amounts of soups or stew, then just portion and freeze in our high barrier bags. This lets you cook when you have time and save the food for nights when you are too busy to cook dinner. Take it out of the freezer and there will be no dehydration or freezer burn, but the food will taste like you just made it.
Follow FDA regulations for safe food handling. Always be careful to refrigerate or freeze the cooked foods right away. Especially if the meal contains proteins such as meat or eggs, the food must be placed in the fridge or freezer immediately to ensure food safety. You want the food to be at a safe temperature. To make sure that this happens and that they help them cool down quickly, it is often a good idea to divide the meal up into serving sizes and vacuum package separately.

Q: Gitlab: commenting on full file rather than on diff? My understanding is that gitlab allows to comment on code only in the context of:

*

*merge requests

*when looking at commits
In both case we can only comment on diffs between two commits.

Things are developed here.
This makes total sense in the context of continuous integration. Yet, on some occasion I would find extremely useful to comment on the full code of one commit, independently to its diffs with other commit. My understanding is this is not possible on gitlab, but I may be wrong ?
ps: I have enterprise edition, in case that changes anything.

A: Sadly, this currently isn't possible.
The desired functionality is tracked in Code review on any line on any file in a merge request.
The issue dates back to Oct 8, 2018.

A: If I understand you correctly, you want to comment on a commit, not a particular file or diff line. This is a feature on GitHub and Stash so it totally make sense. Luckily, there is this feature also on GitLab.
For example, open this commit's page from gitlab-ce repository. If you are logged in, you'll see comment box at the bottom of the page. Also you'll see comment icons when you hover the code lines in the diff boxes.

On the same page was the announcement for my own family. I feel all obituaries should be posted. I'll see if I can find out more about his daughter, Mrs. Ethel May Boyd, so that Franklin Pierce Quarels isn't forgotten.


I always wonder what St. Patrick's day is about, and people answer me "It's an Irish thing!", yes, but why St. Patrick's? Why we celebrate that in Canada?
Anyway, even though I don't really celebrate St. Patty's day, I still make a nail art for it! Just to get into a festive mode!
I have been really busy recently for school, less time for nail arts and other habits. It is my last term in my undergraduate years, and I really want to do well on all the courses!
I pulled out all the green nail polishes I pretty much own and start some designing. I didn't plan too much for this nail art, so it just a no-brainer. Yes, some clovers+ some glitter, BINGO!
The camera I usually used is under repairing now, so the pictures were taken by my small digital camera! The qualify definitely is not comparable.
It's not prefect, but it's cute!
It is very eye-catching from a far away distance!
Left hand, the gold and silver glitters are not very obvious!
Overall, I enjoy this nail art a lot! I received a lot of compliments as well! :) I noticed about that I did not own many green shades in my collection lol.
I know that this post is going to be way LATER than the actual St. Patty's day, but I still feel the spirit when I reviewed the pics!
What do you think about my St. Pat's day manicure?

Box Office: 'Midway' Could Defeat 'Doctor Sleep' With $21 Million
CREDIT: Courtesy of Lionsgate
Lionsgate's action movie "Midway" is topping expectations and is expected to take the No. 1 spot at the box office over supernatural thriller "Doctor Sleep" with about $21 million for the weekend, early estimates showed Friday.
"Doctor Sleep" is heading for about $18 million at 3,855 locations, coming in well under expectations of $25 million to $30 million. Universal's launch of romantic comedy "Last Christmas" is in line with forecasts at about $13 million from 3,448 screens, battling for third place with Paramount's opening of family comedy "Playing With Fire" and its second weekend of "Terminator: Dark Fate."
"Midway," directed by Roland Emmerich, had been expected to launch in the $13 million range at 3,242 North American sites. The film recreates the 1942 Battle of Midway, a key early victory for the Allies in World War II that took place six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Midway" has been timed to take advantage of the Nov. 11 Veterans Day holiday. The early performance is a heartening sign for the $100 million production, one of the most expensive independent movies ever made. "Midway" earned $925,000 at 2,600 locations from Thursday night previews. Critics have been unimpressed with a 35% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Doctor Sleep," starring Ewan McGregor, is directed by Mike Flanagan ("The Haunting of Hill House") from his own script, based on Stephen King's 2013 novel. The story, a sequel to "The Shining," centers on Danny Torrance, who struggles with childhood trauma, alcoholism and his psychic powers. The follow-up has evoked mostly positive reviews and holds a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Last Christmas" teams "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke with "Crazy Rich Asians" leads Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh. Paul Feig directed, and Emma Thompson, who also appears in the film, wrote the screenplay with Bryony Kimmings. It has a $30 million budget, and Universal is hoping "Last Christmas" will have a long life during the holiday season.
"Playing With Fire" is looking like an over-performer following forecasts of $7 million to $10 million from 3,300 theaters. The film, catering to families, cost $30 million to make. John Cena stars in "Playing With Fire," a PG movie about a group of elite firefighters who wind up have to babysit several adorable children.

The KRWA conference was highlighted last week in U.S. Senator Jerry Moran's April 8 newsletter. Senator Moran thanked the Association for bestowing the "Friend of Rural Water" award during the conference and KRWA General Manager Elmer Ronnebaum for his distinguished leadership of the organization as well as the many members, employees and board members who make an important contribution to the quality of life in Kansas. He further indicated he would continue to support USDA Rural Development and EPA water programs, that he would continue his work to reduce the regulatory burden on public water and wastewater utilities and would continue to prioritize ways to secure a safer, more affordable water supply for rural Kansans.
Are Dams on the Missouri River to Blame for Major Flooding Event?
Another powerful low pressure system traversed the central plains last week bringing blizzard conditions to parts of Colorado, Nebraska and northwest Kansas. Meanwhile, the storm spawned showers and severe thunderstorms in north central Kansas and high winds elsewhere. The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for several counties in western Kansas last week due to the high threat index for wildland fires associated with the system. At the direction of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, the Kansas National Guard deployed six UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters on Tuesday in key locations to expedite wildfire assistance, should they be needed during high winds and hot temperatures. Overall, drought conditions continue to improve nationwide as depicted on the latest U.S. Drought Monitor. Kansas remains drought-free. However, drought conditions continued to degrade in parts of north Texas, which missed out on recent rainfall and where precipitation and soil moisture deficits continue to build. El Niño continued during March 2019, as above-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) persisted across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. According to the NOAA/CPC/NCEP/NWS update released last week the "Great Puny El Niño of 2018-19" will likely remain through the summer and possibly continue into the fall.

Hello again! My what a wonderful 3 weeks it has been adventuring, tasting, exploring, and drinking up Southern India.
Chewy, sweet, with hints of coconut, these bars are addictive as they are healthy. Lightly drizzled with dark chocolate and sweetened with dates, they act as a dessert and an energy bar in one wholesome bite.


Use this unusual conifer to add an exotic touch to the landscape. Wonderful, graceful form is carefree and rarely needs pruning. Contrasts well with red-leaved smokebush or Japanese maple. Dwarf size is well-suited for smaller gardens.

Are You Considering a Complementary Health Approach?
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
What Is Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Health?
Selecting a Complementary Health Practitioner: Credentialing, Licensing, and Education
Millions of Americans use complementary health approaches. Like any decision concerning your health, decisions about whether to use complementary approaches are important. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has developed this fact sheet to assist you in your decisionmaking about complementary health products and practices.
Take Charge of Your Health
Be an informed consumer. Find out and consider what scientific studies have been done on the safety and effectiveness of any health approach that is recommended to or interests you.
Discuss the information and your interests with your health care providers before making a decision.
Choose a complementary health practitioner, such as an acupuncturist, as carefully as you would choose a conventional health care provider.
Before using any dietary supplement or herbal product, make sure you find out about potential side effects or interactions with medications you may be taking.
Only use treatments for your condition that have been proven safe. Do not use a product or practice that has not been proven to be effective to postpone seeing your health care provider for your condition.
Tell all your health care providers—complementary and conventional—about all the health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
What do "complementary," alternative," and "integrative" mean?
"Complementary and alternative medicine," "complementary medicine," "alternative medicine," "integrative medicine"—you may have seen these terms on the Internet and in marketing, but what do they really mean? While the terms are often used to mean the array of health care approaches with a history of use or origins outside of mainstream medicine, they are actually hard to define and may mean different things to different people.
The terms complementary and integrative refer to the use of non-mainstream approaches together with conventional medical approaches.
Alternative health approaches refer to the use of non-mainstream products or practices in place of conventional medicine. NCCIH advises against using any product or practice that has not been proven safe and effective as a substitute for conventional medical treatment or as a reason to postpone seeing your health care provider about any health problem. In some instances, stopping—or not starting—conventional treatment can have serious consequences. Before making a decision not to use a proven conventional treatment, talk to your health care providers.
How can I get reliable information about a complementary health approach?
It's important to learn what scientific studies have discovered about the complementary health approach you're considering. Evidence from research studies is stronger and more reliable than something you've seen in an advertisement or on a website, or something someone told you about that worked for them. (For tips on how to evaluate website information, see the NCCIH fact sheet Finding and Evaluating Online Resources on Complementary Health Approaches.)
Understanding a product's or practice's potential benefits, risks, and scientific evidence is critical to your health and safety. Scientific research on many complementary health approaches is relatively new, so this kind of information may not be available for each one. However, many studies are under way, including those that NCCIH supports, and knowledge and understanding of complementary approaches are increasing all the time. Here are some ways to find reliable information:
Talk with your health care providers
Tell them about the complementary health approach you're considering and ask any questions you may have about safety, effectiveness, or interactions with medications (prescription or nonprescription) or dietary supplements.
Visit the NCCIH website
The "Health Information" page has an A-Z list of complementary health products and practices, which describes what the science says about them, and links to other objective sources of online information. The website also has contact information for the NCCIH Clearinghouse, where information specialists are available to assist you in searching the scientific literature and to suggest useful NCCIH publications. You can also find information from NCCIH on Facebook, Twitter), YouTube, and Pinterest .
Visit your local library or a medical library
Ask the reference librarian to help you find scientific journals and trustworthy books with information on the product or practice that interests you.
Are complementary health approaches safe?
As with any medical product or treatment, there can be risks with complementary approaches. These risks depend on the specific product or practice. Each needs to be considered on its own. However, if you're considering a specific product or practice, the following general suggestions can help you think about safety and minimize risks.
Be aware that individuals respond differently to health products and practices, whether conventional or complementary. How you might respond to one depends on many things, including your state of health, how you use it, or your belief in it.
Keep in mind that "natural" does not necessarily mean "safe." (Think of mushrooms that grow in the wild: some are safe to eat, while others are not.)
Learn about factors that affect safety. For a practice that is administered by a practitioner, such as chiropractic, these factors include the training, skill, and experience of the practitioner. For a product such as a dietary supplement, the specific ingredients and the quality of the manufacturing process are important factors.
If you decide to use a practice provided by a complementary health practitioner, choose the practitioner as carefully as you would your primary health care provider. (To learn more, see 6 Things To Know When Selecting a Complementary Health Practitioner.)
If you decide to use a dietary supplement, such as an herbal product, be aware that some products may interact in harmful ways with medications (prescription or over-the-counter) or other dietary supplements, and some may have side effects on their own. (To learn more, see the NCCIH fact sheet Using Dietary Supplements Wisely.)
Tell all your health care providers about any complementary or integrative health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
How can I determine whether statements made about the effectiveness of a complementary health approach are true?
Before you begin using a complementary health approach, it's a good idea to ask the following questions:
Is there scientific evidence (not just personal stories) to back up the statements?
What is the source? Statements that manufacturers or other promoters of some complementary health approaches may make about effectiveness and benefits can sound reasonable and promising. However, the statements may be based on a biased view of the available scientific evidence.
Does the Federal Government have anything to report about the product or practice?
Visit the NCCIH website or contact the NCCIH Clearinghouse to see if NCCIH has information about the product or practice.
Visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) online to see if there is any information available about the product or practice.
Information specifically about dietary supplements can be found on the FDA's website and on the website of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements.
Visit the FDA's Web page on recalls and safety alerts. The FDA has a rapid public notification system to provide information about tainted dietary supplements.
Check with the Federal Trade Commission to see if there are any enforcement actions for deceptive advertising regarding the therapy. Also, visit the site's Consumer Information section.
How does the provider or manufacturer describe the approach?
Beware of terms like "scientific breakthrough," "miracle cure," "secret ingredient," or "ancient remedy."
If you encounter claims of a "quick fix" that depart from previous research, keep in mind that science usually advances over time by small steps, slowly building an evidence base.
Remember: if it sounds too good to be true—for example, claims that a product or practice can cure a disease or works for a variety of ailments—it usually is.
Is that health website trustworthy?
If you're visiting a health website for the first time, these five quick questions can help you decide whether the site is a helpful resource.
Who? Who runs the website? Can you trust them?
What? What does the site say? Do its claims seem too good to be true?
When? When was the information posted or reviewed? Is it up-to-date?
Where? Where did the information come from? Is it based on scientific research?
Why? Why does the site exist? Is it selling something?
Are complementary health approaches tested to see if they work?
While scientific evidence now exists regarding the effectiveness and safety of some complementary health approaches, there remain many yet-to-be-answered questions about whether others are safe, whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are promoted, and how those approaches with health benefits may work. As the Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on health interventions, practices, products, and disciplines that originate from outside mainstream medicine, NCCIH supports scientific research to answer these questions and determine who might benefit most from the use of specific approaches.
I'm interested in an approach that involves seeing a complementary health practitioner. How do I go about selecting a practitioner?
Your primary health care provider or local hospital may be able to recommend a complementary health practitioner.
The professional organization for the type of practitioner you're seeking may have helpful information, such as licensing and training requirements. Many states have regulatory agencies or licensing boards for certain types of complementary health practitioners; they may be able to help you locate practitioners in your area.
Make sure any practitioner you're considering is willing to work in collaboration with your other health care providers.
For more suggestions, see NCCIH's 6 Things To Know When Selecting a Complementary Health Practitioner and Credentialing, Licensing, and Education.
Can I receive treatment or a referral to a complementary health practitioner from NCCIH?
NCCIH does not provide treatment or referrals to complementary health practitioners. NCCIH's mission is to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary health approaches and their roles in improving health and health care.
Can I participate in a clinical trial of a complementary health approach?
NCCIH supports clinical trials on complementary health approaches. These trials are taking place in many locations, and study participants are needed. To learn more or to find trials that are recruiting participants, visit NIH Clinical Research Trials and You. The site includes questions and answers about clinical trials, guidance on how to find clinical trials through ClinicalTrials.gov, and other resources and stories about the personal experiences of clinical trial participants.

Q: Bokeh on_click function changes text only after entire function has completed On Python 3.7 with Bokeh 1.4.0, I am noticing that when I use a button to run a function that changes the text on the page and then run some code, the text does not change until the entire function has finished running. Here is an example where you would expect the text to change instantly, but it does not change until the time.sleep() has completed. Here is an example snippet I am launching from a jupyter notebook:
import time
from bokeh.models.widgets import Div
from bokeh.layouts import layout
from bokeh.models.widgets import Button
from bokeh.server.server import Server
from bokeh.application import Application
from bokeh.application.handlers.function import FunctionHandler

def make_document(doc):
    bokeh_text=Div(text="")
    test_button=Button(label='TEST',button_type="success")
    def test():
        bokeh_text.text = "Text has been changed"
        time.sleep(3)
    test_button.on_click(test)
    my_layout=layout([test_button,bokeh_text])
    doc.add_root(my_layout)

import numpy as np
apps = {'/': Application(FunctionHandler(make_document))}
server = Server(apps)
server.io_loop.add_callback(server.show, "/")

Here it is with time.sleep(3)
Here is it without time.sleep()

A: Probably all GUIs work like that - they don't update window at once but when code returns to mainloop - and then it has to redraw window only once for all changes - so it has less work to do and window doesn't flickering.
In desktop GUIs you could use some function to force mainloop to redraw window. Or you can use timer to run calculations with small delay so code can go back to mainloop which updates window and starts calculation
I don't know if bokeh has function to force update but it has function to run code with delay
def test():
    bokeh_text.text = "Text has been changed"
    doc.add_next_tick_callback(job)
    #doc.add_timeout_callback(job, 10)
    # now it can go back to mainloop to update window and later mainloop will run `job`

def job():
    time.sleep(3)
    bokeh_text.text = "End of test"

But it is not so useful if you want to update text many times during long running calculations. Probably you would have to run it in separated thread and use queue to send information to main thread which could use add_periodic_callback() to periodically check queue and update text on page.

Doc: bokeh.document - see add_next_tick_callback(), add_timeout_callback() and add_periodic_callback()

EDIT: Example using Thread for this
import time
from bokeh.models.widgets import Div
from bokeh.models.widgets import Button
from bokeh.layouts import layout
from bokeh.server.server import Server
from bokeh.application import Application
from bokeh.application.handlers.function import FunctionHandler
from threading import Thread
from queue import Queue

callback_id = None # global variable so it can be used in `test` and `update_text`
t = None           # global variable so it can be used in `test` and `update_text`

def make_document(doc):
    bokeh_text = Div(text="")
    test_button = Button(label='TEST', button_type="success")

    def test():
        #global callback_id
        global t

        if t is not None:
            print("already running")
        else:
            q = Queue()
            t = Thread(target=job, args=(q,)) # send queue to job - it has to be `,` in `(q,)` to create tuple with one element
            t.start()
            callback_id = doc.add_periodic_callback(lambda:update_text(q), 100)

    def job(queue):
        queue.put("Start")
        for x in range(10):
            time.sleep(1)
            queue.put(str(x))
        time.sleep(1)
        queue.put("End")

    def update_text(queue):
        #global callback_id
        global t

        if not queue.empty():
            value = queue.get()
            bokeh_text.text = value
            #if not t.is_alive():
            if value == 'End': # and callback_id is not None:
                doc.remove_periodic_callback(callback_id)
                #callback_id = None
                print("callback removed")
                t = None # to inform `test()` that it can run thread again

Sledger 3D - JAs 1st 3D movie
Started by dunchillin , Aug 05 2013 08:11 AM
dunchillin
Got this email this morning, thought I'd share the love:
Can you help support Jamaica's first 3D movie?
A Tale of Loss and Triumph, Poverty and Paradise.... This is the day in the life of Hugh Creek Peart, aka "Sledger," an elder Rasta farmer living in 9 Mile, the most beautiful, yet poorest part of Jamaica where he has struggled to survive for over half a century. His story is similar to the hundreds of thousands of other Jamaicans struggling to make ends meet, a life of poverty in paradise. Despite the plight of the many living in the small farming village of Nine Mile, Sledger is quite unique: Born and raised in the same household with his first cousin and best friend, Robert Nesta Marley.
This is also the story of 9 Mile, Bob Marley's home village up in the breathtaking hills of St. Anne's where simple farmers fight for running water and education for their youth. Sledger recounts what it was like growing up in the 50's and 60's with Bob, his family roots and the Rasta culture they found when they went to Kingston, which at that time was shunned, but now pervades every part of Jamaica.
In the 50's, all the village kids called Bob Marley, Skipper because they looked to him as their leader. Sledger followed Bob and his Mom to Trenchtown, far away from home.Sledger was there with Bob as he rose to be a global sensation. But when Bob died, Sledger was left without his friend, retreating back into the shadows, into his faith.
Sledger is featured in the 2012 Ziggy Marley produced Bob Marley documentary where he talks about growing up with Bob. But this documentary is different. It is about Sledger and what his own life has taught him.
The unique experiences of Bob, Sledger and others-- including Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh and dozens of Reggae greats-- led to a wealth of inspiration for songs dealing with the cultural, social, and political issues of time, many of which remain relevant today. This documentary captures Sledger's struggle, the intimate 3-D cinematography immersing you in the place and his story.
FILMING THE DOCUMENTARY
Principal photography on Sledger was completed in 2009, but his story has been curtailed due to the inability to afford completion of post-production. Shot over an arduous 12 days with a two-person crew, isolated in remote parts of Jamaica with little or no support, and using prototype 3-D equipment, Sledger is not only a labor of love, but a technical achievement.
That is where you play an important role in telling his tale-- with an added dimension. WHY 3-D?
A one-of-a-kind subject deserves a special experience. When in professional hands, 3-D truly does enhance your visual experience and enjoyment. In an environment such as Jamaica, the rich tropical backdrop, vivid colors and unique people make an even greater impact.
3-D film making has evolved to become an exciting and successful medium through innovations in technology and technique. Since Sledger was filmed, cameras have become easier use., Real-time editing in 3-D is a reality, and the entire process-- from conception to finish-- has been streamlined.
Stereo-based visual storytellers are now able to focus less on their equipment, and more on their subject.
This film holds the distinction of pioneering 3-D film making on a micro budget, and being the first of its type shot in Jamaica.
That's me, Victor
This is an independent film and we're hoping to try and raise funds for the film producer to finish the film via the Kickstarter Campaign which is why we are reaching out to all Reggae fans and trying to spread the word about the project. The film is of considerable interest to Bob Marley fans as Sledger Peart is Bob's cousin and lived with Bob and his family and the film sheds much light on his childhood with Bob and the area in which they lived, something that no other film before this one has managed to capture so well.
Please take a look at the official campaign page and if you have the time share the link and if your able help support in anyway you can.

TORONTO, April 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Norvista Capital Corporation ("Norvista" or the "Company") (TSX-V:NVV) announces it has received approval to undertake, at the Company's discretion, a normal course issuer bid program to purchase up to 3,522,725 of its common shares (the "NCIB").
The Company is commencing the NCIB because it believes that from time to time the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business, and that the repurchase of its common shares at those times would be in the best interests of its shareholders.
As of the date hereof, the Company has 70,454,501 common shares issued and outstanding. The maximum number of common shares that may be purchased by the Company under the NCIB represents approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. The Company received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to commence the NCIB on February 21, 2019.
For a period commencing on February 22, 2019, and ending February 28, 2019, Canaccord Genuity Corp., the broker for a proposed normal course issuer bid for which the Company had received TSXV conditional approval, purchased 65,000 common shares of the Company at an average price of $0.11 per common share (the "Purchase"). At the time of the Purchase, the TSXV had granted the Company conditional approval for a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 3,522,725 common shares, to commence on or around January 18, 2019 and terminate 12 months from the date of commencement (the "January NCIB"), subject to the issuance of a press release by the Company announcing the terms of the January NCIB in accordance with National Instrument 62-104 ("NI 62-104") and the policies of the TSXV. The press release announcing the January NCIB was not disseminated by the Company prior to the Purchase and TSXV final approval for the commencement of the January NCIB was not received by the Company.
Subsequent to the Purchase, the Company sought a waiver from the TSXV from the disclosure requirements of TSXV Policy 5.6 - Normal Course Issuer Bids, requiring issuers to disseminate a press release prior to any purchases made pursuant to a normal course issuer bid. The TSXV has conditionally approved the NCIB to commence from the day prior to the date of the initial purchase of common shares made pursuant to the Purchase, February 21, 2019, and to terminate on February 20, 2020, or on an earlier date in the event that the maximum number of common shares sought in the NCIB have been repurchased. The common shares acquired pursuant to the Purchase will be returned to treasury and cancelled.
Norvista is a resource based merchant bank with an investment portfolio of three core investments located in Canada, the United States and Mexico. Norvista's investee companies have projects located in excellent mining jurisdictions and are involved in both base and precious metals exploration and development. Norvista holds significant equity ownership positions in its investee companies and is actively involved in the management of these companies through a combination of senior officer positions and/or Board representation. The investee company projects represent a balance between later stage exploration and pre-production projects and are self financing. Norvista maintains and increases its ownership positions in its core holdings through participation in issuer financings as well as share acquisitions in the open market.

'Fox & Friends' Stunned That Jews Are Still Voting for Democrats Despite Trump's Support of Israel
Gary Legum
Brian Kilmeade is mightily confused by the Jews.
The Fox News host just cannot understand how American Jews keep voting for Democrats when the last two Republican presidents have been, in his mind, better for Israel. He expressed this confusion on Tuesday morning's Fox & Friends:
"Stunningly, most Democrats…the majority of the American Jewish support goes to Democratic candidates. President Trump only got 24 percent when President Bush 43 and this president have been the better allies to Israel."
The context here was an extended discussion of Monday's press conference by Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar regarding their fact-finding tour of Israel that was canceled when Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to allow them entrance to the country. On Monday, the two Democratic congresswomen had blasted Israel as being a bad ally and poor democracy.
Kilmeade and co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Pete Hegseth see this attitude as antisemitic, when in fact it is more anti-Zionist. Which is a difference that the three hosts could perhaps familiarize themselves with.
Earhardt also seemed surprised about the voting habits of Jewish Americans when evangelicals, who also support Israel, keep voting Republican:
You talk to evangelicals, many of them went to the polls and voted for the conservative Donald Trump in the last election because of what he would do for judges and pro-life stance and pro-Israeli stance. It's important to a lot of or most Christians around the world for us to support Israel."
Earhardt would perhaps do well to familiarize herself with Christian eschatology if she is confused as to why some Jews might have trouble agreeing with a bloc of voters whose vision for the Middle East depends on Jews converting to Christianity.
The three hosts also seem convinced that perhaps Omar and Tlaib's attitude towards Israel will push more American Jews into the Republican camp, with Hesgeth saying of their voting habits, "I think that's starting to change" and Earhardt chiming in that "This might change it a lot."

As the play opens, the seven captains of Polynices stand ready to storm the seven gates of the city, with the seven heroes of Eteocles opposing them. The drama that unfolds has the mysterious resonance of an ancient ceremony, as a messenger announces each warrior in turn, describing the device on his shield. Overshadowed by such archaic ritual and violence, the city awaits its destruction, weighing the lives of citizens and the responsibilities of kings. In his foreword, Peter Meineck writes, "There is a spiritual muscularity in the language of Aeschylus that Tipton has managed to capture... One gets the feeling that Tipton has heeded the advice of Aristotle and placed this play 'before his eyes,' speaking each line as it is created."
