Thesis the Middle, Sort of: Seniors Make It One Third of the Way Through
November 22, 2015 , by Sophie Brett-Chin, Contributing Writer
With three months down and five to go, six seniors reflect on what they've done so far and what they hope to accomplish by April.
Almost two months ago, The Argus sat down with eight seniors to discuss their burgeoning theses. Now, as dreams of Thanksgiving dance through students' heads and the first semester rapidly draws to a close, we caught up with some of those same seniors to check in on the progress of their theses.
Nina Gurak '16
Majors: Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies (FGSS) and Government
To recap: Gurak '16 is doing her thesis for the FGSS major. Over the course of the year, she plans to examine comedy as a tactic or tool of resistance in anti-violence movements, specifically sexual violence. The last time we interviewed her she summed her project simply as "how to tell an empowering rape joke."
Currently, Gurak is working on the first chapter of her thesis, which examines comedy theory more broadly.
"It's what makes people laugh and why, and the role of the comedian and also the audience in determining that," she said.
She went on to emphasize that this chapter will be a more in-depth analysis of comedic speech, and hopes to look at how we take something lightly, but also seriously at the same time. She hopes to use the Daniel Tosh rape joke incident as a starting point to talk about comedic speech.
"[The chapter is about] joking versus threats versus something in-between there, and the problems with legal intervention from listeners," she said.
When asked to explain why she chose to start with this particular aspect of her thesis, Gurak emphasized the fact that the nuances of comedy are often overlooked.
"Many feminist scholars who talk about comedy don't really look at it that seriously," she said.
Gurak believes it's important that she understand the basics of comedy and the psychology of comedy before she critiques comedic speech and applies it through feminist theory. She hopes that research and understanding of comedy will set her up for her second chapter, which will address rape jokes.
"What sucks about them and why," she explained. "Why they're funny, and why they're important to look at. And how they fit into a larger context of rape in America, and what that means."
Gurak's last chapter will address what she calls "the anti-rape joke": how we can joke about rape in a way that unveils a larger truth to society. When asked to give an example of a good "anti-rape joke," she points to Amy Schumer's sketch, "Football Night Lights." Within the video, Schumer makes a larger statement on rape culture within football in America by parodying the television show Friday Night Lights.
Helen Handelman '16
Majors: Religious Studies and Theater
When we last sat down with Handelman, she discussed her passion for the moon and her plans to examine how lunar conquest and ideas of accessing the moon have played large roles in human culture. She had also discussed her plans of a performance piece that would work in conjunction with her thesis, exploring the moon in a more embodied way, rather than an intellectual one.
Handelman maintained that her concept has stayed largely the same. Like Gurak, Handelman is currently working on the first chapter of her thesis, which is about 17th-century France and looks at the work of French philosopher, Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle.
"Fontenelle wrote a book in the 1600s about a conversation between these two people who are discussing the potential existence of the plurality of worlds," Handelman said.
Handelman noted that Fontenelle's work brings up conquest.
"[It's about] the possibility of getting to the moon, [and] if there are people who will live on the moon," she said.
Fontenelle strongly relies on colonial language, and Handelman hopes to tackle this topic in a draft before Thanksgiving.
Handelman discussed the performance aspect of her piece, which occurred November 13-15th in the Van Vleck Observatory. The piece, entitled "(moon)," explored many of the aspects of Handelman's thesis, as well as other lunar literature, the moon in other popular forms, and tackled myths about the moon.
"We created a thing… I didn't give a lot of information about it [to the general public]," Handelman stated, in describing the performance. "We created the whole thing in rehearsal, we didn't use any pre-existing text or story as a narrative, [and] we shaped our own thing."
Flora Donovan '16
Major: Art History
Flora Donovan began the thesis process with an interest in what compels curators to choose the exhibitions they do, and why they choose to display artwork that could be seen as polarizing. Building off of that, she hoped to explore the exhibition history of the Whitney Museum from about 1985 to 1995, by focusing on two exhibitions specifically, the 1993 Biennial Exhibition and the 1994-1995 show entitled "Black Male."
When asked to fill us in on the progress of thesis, Donovan laughed.
"My thesis is going fine," she said. "I think I'm behind on writing… but I think its okay. I have a schedule, so I'm going to get there."
Now done with the first part of her research, Donovan has begun to work on her introduction and developing her ideas.
"Before I was thinking of a certain time period, and now I'm thinking more about the intellectual discourse during the 1980s and 1990s, and how that is relevant to art and how it is exhibited," she said.
After interviewing one of the curators of the exhibits she is focusing on, Donovan became increasingly aware of the importance of the intellectual discourse of the name, specifically intersectionality and essentialism.
Nick Murphy '16
Majors: Government and College of the Environment
"Since we last met, I've been getting all the groundwork in," Murphy said. "A lot of outlining happens in the fall, and I think it's finally at a point where it's what it's going to be."
Murphy's thesis concerns carbon pricing in the United States.
"I'm engaging more heavily in an anti-carbon trading rhetoric and distinguishing a carbon tax as a price signal, as opposed to a market-based instrument," he said.
Currently, Murphy is trying to condense his thesis, and the various political and environmental ideas surrounding its subject, into why it's important to argue for a carbon tax as the best and most viable chance of de-centering "cap and trade" from the international climate discussion.
"I've tried to engage more with the critique of those conversations from the outside, and finding the balance of this pragmatism of what's really best for environmental, social, economic—the three pillars of sustainability in the end, and by whose definition," he said. "While at the same time, checking myself along the why, or checking a carbon tax as why it should remain a desired policy, why doing it right is so important and what it could change."
Finally, Murphy made sure to emphasize that thesis is not about a carbon tax as the perfect solution. Instead, he notes that there is more to be done, and hopes to end with a section that concerns what comes next.
Zacko Brint '16
Majors: History and French Studies
Brint's thesis, tentatively titled "Assessing the Memory of Foreign Jews in France who Fought in the French Army during WWII," examines the experiences of this group in the war. Brint's interest in the subject began when he was studying abroad and taking a contemporary Jewish history class. During a class visit to a cemetery, Brint noticed a monument to Jewish veterans who died for France.
"I looked it up online, and found this association—the children of French Jews who enlisted in the military," he said. "I was interested from a history perspective, looked for stuff, there was nothing."
The importance in Brint's thesis lies in the fact that the historiography has been mainly focused on the resistors or Holocaust survivors. No one talks about the engagement.
Now, however, Brint will be focusing on the periods of time before and after war, and how those communities transitioned and changed. The main question: How did the war affect Communist Jews?
Brint does admit that there is little material to work with, as this subject has never really been researched in the past. This has led him to cross-match sources.
"So, in one case I was looking at lists of people who died, and then I was seeing if they were at all remembered in post-war groups," he said.
Essentially, Brint has been analyzing the group name by name. The next step is to place his research within literature that has been written on related subjects. This related literature includes French-Communist literature, international-Communist literature, literature on Jewish-French relations, and literature on the relationship between immigrant Jews and French Jews.
"There are a lot of players here, and that speaks to the Communist Jew identity," he said.
Zachary Kaufman '16
Majors: Earth and Environmental Sciences
Kaufman currently works in the lab of Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences Suzanne O'Connell, who studies geologic climate change in the Antarctic.
Since we last talked, Kaufman's project has changed in two ways. He was originally planning to do the BA/MA program, which would allow him to spend a longer time on his project. Now, he is planning to spend a few extra months on campus and get a paper out of it instead. He has also attended a geology conference, at which he heard "inspiring talks" and received data.
"I have most of my data," he said. "There's a lab at Columbia that needs to process some of my samples… so I'm just waiting to hear back from them. Just have to do the writing and analyze my results when I get them."

Q: UICollectionView auto layout with different cells I am using UICollectionView with autolayout to display gallery. I have 2 types of prototype cells- one to display for 2-columned collectionView and one for 3-columned view.
On button click, the view is to be toggled to 2-columned and 3-columned
Following is my code:
    -(UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellGrid" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        if([selected_layout isEqualToString:@"tile"]){
            cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellTile" forIndexPath:indexPath];  // for 2 columns
        } else {
            cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellGrid" forIndexPath:indexPath];  // for 3 columns
        }
[cell layoutIfNeeded];
    [cell setNeedsDisplay];

    return cell;
}

I am not setting cell's height/width anywhere in code, I have just specified it in xib. But everytime 3 columned collectionView is displayed with about 10 pixel black gap between each cell.
I referred this link but it is using swift and custom cell classes. I don't want to use that.
How do I solve this? Where am I getting wrong?

A: Add these delegate methods:
- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionView *)collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
{

        return 5;

}

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
{
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 10, 10, 10);
}

I don't know but I will play devil's advocate. I thought Fields release looked a hair slow and..
those long out routes took awhile to get there. I feel like those could be picks in real games, at least some.
Also, the 98 yard bomb, I thought was underthrown.
I liked what I saw with Fields' running. Baldwin looked like a good #2.
Potential is sky high, but a long way to go I'd say.

The Foundation is devoted to the promulgation of the work and ideas of James Luther Adams (1901-1994), who was one of the leading Unitarian Universalist theologians and ethicists. Adams also played a pivotal role in the shaping of the discipline of social ethics in the United States.
"Adams' theology was closely related to his actions. It shaped and he was shaped by his vital role in a labor strike as a young pastor and by his participation in the resisting underground church in Nazi Germany. He founded and was a major participant in scores of voluntary associations, including the presidency of [the Society of Christian Ethics]. During his Chicago years on the Federated Theological Faculty of the University of Chicago in the early forties and fifties, he was heavily involved in Chicago politics and in resisting racism. At Harvard from the mid-fifties through the sixties, he continued to implement his conception that the theological school must be in the midst of the university and that Christian ethics should be taught and worked out in the context of other spheres of life, especially law, business, and the arts."
Since the death of James Luther Adams in 1994, the JLA Foundation has concentrated its work on two objectives.
The first is the preservation and distribution of The Adams Tapes, which are available on videotape and DVD.
The second objective is to maintain his intellectual heritage. Our main channel for that is the annual James Luther Adams Forum on Religion and Society. The purpose is to sponsor lectures on Adams or on topics associated with his particular concerns for relating Christian faith to society. For maximum exposure, they are moved around the country, such as New York City, Chicago, Berkeley, Detroit, St. Paul, Atlanta, Cambridge, Dallas, Washington, Claremont. The topics have included the arts, regional democracy, civil religion, racism, natural law, international order, worship, ecofeminist theology, and Catholic social thought in relationship to Adams' contributions.

UPDATE: 10-year-old girl has leg amputated after being hit by semi in Crookston
By Bailey Hurley, Jordan Schroeer and Nachai Taylor
Published: Oct. 4, 2021 at 9:16 PM CDT
CROOKSTON, Minn. (Valley News Live) - UPDATE: A little girl continues to fight for her life after a semi-truck ran her over while she was riding on her bike Monday evening.
The accident happened at the intersection of Broadway and Roberts Street around 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 4. The family of the 10-year-old Crookston girl has identified her as Kaylee Acevedo, who remains in the ICU in Fargo.
Acevedo's mother tells Valley News Live Acevedo had to have her right leg amputated, but says doctors were able to save her left leg, which suffered a broken femur. She says while her daughter does have a long road ahead, there were already encouraging signs this morning as her daughter was able to open her eyes, smile a little and squeezed her mother's hand. Acevedo's family continues to ask for an abundance of prayers from the community.
Crookston Police say after a preliminary investigation, it was found the 10-year-old was at a corner sidewalk at the intersection when she was hit by the back wheels of a semi as it was attempting to make a right turn onto Broadway.
The girl and her bike then became trapped between the wheels of the semi, which later came to a stop more than a block away, police stated.
The driver of the semi has been identified as a 73-year-old Duane Schouveiller of Mahnomen, Minn., according to the crash report. Law enforcement states alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the accident.

Columnar-lined Barrett's esophagus (BE) requires endoscopic surveillance for risk of adenocarcinoma. A course of proton pump inhibitor pretreatment reduces inflammatory changes and facilitates endoscopic recognition and histologic diagnosis of dysplasia. Detection of HGIN or early cancer (T1 m) demands close inspection for any irregularities, which must then be analyzed on magnifying endoscopy. The degree of invasiveness of early cancer is predictable from macroscopic type, alteration of microvascular architecture on magnifying narrow-band imaging (NBI), and irregularity of surface structure on acetic acid chromoendoscopy. Endoscopic resection with curative intention by EMR or ESD can be offered for HGIN or noninvasive or microinvasive mucosal carcinoma, when free margins (R0) are achieved on well-differentiated or moderately differentiated superficial adenocarcinoma (category T1 m or T1b-sm1) without lymphovascular invasion. However, cancer with deeper submucosal invasion (T1b-sm2-3), lymphovascular invasion, or poor differentiation (G3) should undergo surgical esophagectomy for cure.
We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of ESD cases by Dr. Tsuneo Oyama, Nagano, Japan; Dr. Hans P. Allgaier, Freiburg and Dr. Micheal Anzinger, Munich, Germany; and Dr. Frieder Berr and Dr. Daniel Neureiter, Salzburg, Austria.
The morphology of surface and vascular patterns of Barrett's epithelium and BE neoplasias have been analyzed by Kara , Goda [23, 24], Anagnostopoulos , Sharma [16, 17], and others. The Nottingham classification supplemented with Goda's VP types (Table 8.2) tries to define whether Barrett cancer is superficial and an appropriate indication for endoscopic resection, or if it shows signs of deep sm invasion, an indication for esophagectomy [22, 23, 24]. (See Table 8.2 and Fig. 8.18.) Capillary (VP) and surface relief architecture (SP) of BE-AC bear analogies to early gastric cancer, but have not been prospectively validated for BE-AC.

Phases of the Moon Activities for Kids
••• Cristina Reyes/Demand Media
3D Moon Phase Projects for Kids
By Shelley Frost
Activities that teach kids the phases of the moon helps provide them with a stronger understanding of the concept. The models and activities allow you to demonstrate how each phase of the moon is created based on the location of the moon in relation to the sun and the earth. Refresh your own understanding of the process to ensure a solid understanding before introducing the topic to the kids.
Create a mobile that depicts the phases of the moon in order. A wooden dowel works well as the base of the mobile. Use card stock or poster board to cut out the moon's shape for each phase. Let the kids sponge paint the cutouts to resemble the surface of the moon. Use pieces of string to tie the moon phase replicas to the dowel in the correct order. Make a label for each of the moons for future reference. For further practice, have the kids make a smaller mobile using a wire hanger as the base.
Moon Journal
Have the kids keep a moon journal. Create a page template for the journal with a square and space for writing. Each night, the kids view the moon. They draw a picture of the moon's shape in the box and write a brief description below the drawing. The following day, compare the pictures drawn by the students, which should all look fairly similar. Keep a chart in the classroom that depicts the changes in the moon. Compare the changes in the moon's appearance using the classroom chart. Use the moon phase mobile or other reference materials to identify the phases the students see each night.
Moon Model
Use a large Styrofoam ball, play ball or balloon for this moon model. Paint half of the selected model with black paint. Have the kids sit in a circle and place the ball in the middle, securing it so it doesn't move. Provide each child with a sheet of black construction paper and a piece of chalk. The students draw the moon as they see on the paper. Because the kids are sitting in different positions, the resulting pictures will look slightly different, resembling the phases of the moon. Stack the pictures in order. Staple them together to create a flip book that depicts the changing of the moon's phases.

Thanks so much to everyone that has left comments on this blog, and thanks so much to everyone that has emailed me thoughts and questions and criticisms about what I've written. Everything has been helpful. The first comment mentioned wild turkeys and led me to write about a pet turkey. And the most recent comment cautioned me not to get too excited about the one-lakh car and got my head spinning a bit about leapfrog technologies.
I would love for moreperfectmarket.com to evolve into as much of a conversation as possible. Blogs are to some extent tools designed for broadcasting. They're for quasi-journalists on soapboxes. But if the articles up here are my soapbox speeches, hopefully you'll use the comments function and the moreperfectmarket [at] gmail [dot] com address as rotten tomatoes, suggestion boxes, and backstage passes to talk to the band after the show.
The idea of "enlightenment" you support so fervently in your blog seems to be directly at odds with your plan to leave out the negative on the section of your site that most people will see and hopefully take into consideration. How can you enlighten yourself and others without providing all the information you can get your hands on?
Will's right. I need to be much more careful with the word enlightenment.
When we launch our website, we don't want to highlight the horrible things companies do. We want to allow our users to bring them up and debate and discuss them. But, for our part, as moderators of the discussion and organizers of information, we don't think we should try to go the full enlightenment route right away. We want to approach it bit by bit and shoot for curiosity piquing partial enlightenment now. We want to build a community, earn its trust, and, as we do that, push enlightenment farther and farther.
Companies could see us as a potential friend, an opportunity, a way to learn what their customers want, an information exchange in which they can participate. Or they could see us as threat, an enemy, a target to be discredited and destroyed.
Ideally, obviously, the companies will see the opportunity. They'll want to participate in the discussion on our site. They'll want to contribute. And they'll want to learn which processes they can change and which investments they can make that will help them forge stronger bonds with their customers.
We'll definitely try our best to show companies that opportunity, but they'll still approach us with their hackles up. We are, after all, activists. We have an education agenda, a paradigm shift agenda. And, if we build and empower a community properly, we could cause big chunks of a lot of markets to start behaving quite differently.
And that could be seen as threatening.
Which means we need to tread very carefully. We need to emphasize the imperfection of our information, emphasize our humility, and emphasize the fact that we're not out for anybody's blood.
We're going to do the best we can to collect the best information that's out there, but the reality of the situation is that it's not all going to be great. The expert organizations from which we'll collect information will make mistakes. Our research people will make mistakes. Our contributing users will make mistakes. And our rankings will, at times, reflect something less than reality.
We'll design into our system ways for users to check experts, check us, check each other, and fix mistakes. Even so, however, we are going to give some undeserved gold stars, and we are going to fail to give some gold stars when they are deserved.
If we were to build anti gold stars into our system, we would run the risk of making false accusations as well, and I simply don't feel comfortable doing that. Negative information cuts deep. It turns more heads than positive information. It's more newsworthy. And while that makes it more powerful, it also makes it more dangerous. Deep cuts take a long time to heal, even if you stitch them up right away.
I'm not ready to deal in negative information yet. I don't want to spread false rumors. And I don't want to threaten. I'd love to enlighten and enlighten completely. I'd love to get all the information out there to all people. But I don't trust that information yet. I want to start with positive information, see how our community responds, see how they filter through it. And I want to get the companies participating, bring them into the community, and see if they, like Will, can become valuable voices that call me out and keep me in line.
Just listened to the last two segments of the radio show. You've got nothing to be embarrassed about, Jake. Be proud -- you're thoughts were more than coherent and your delivery natural. Honest.
I think you've got a very good point about focusing on the positive. I believe that ultimately a company's rating will be a pretty tight function of the sincerity and consistency of their social conscience. Companies that do some good and some harm won't inspire the same level of passion among the raters. They will naturally be penalized when their good deeds are looked at in context, even without an anti-gold star function.
That said it'd be wise to test these assumptions. We wouldn't want a big company's many good deeds to 1) fall out of context with their bad deeds, or 2) overwhelm the infrequent but consistent good deeds of a smaller competitor.
Glad you liked the radio bits. I still haven't listened. Soon. Maybe.
As for testing assumptions, I'm in full agreement. I have a feeling we're going to learn a lot about companies' behavior and consumers' reactions once we get this thing up and running.

Girl Scouts USA has come a long way since it was founded back in 1912. As we enter the 21st Century, the organization is keeping pace with the new challenges that affect girls across the United States and around the globe. The introduction and emphasis on STEM and STEAM is definitely major, but some things about the Girl Scouts organization will never change.

U.S. Eighth Circuit
8th Circuit: Judge Telling Defendant That Federal System "Sucks" Was Plain Error
By Joseph Fawbush, Esq. on September 16, 2020 9:28 AM
Trial court judges are meant to stay neutral. They do this with varying degrees of success. A judge can sometimes sway a jury, even inadvertently, based on body language and demeanor. Usually, this isn't grounds for vacating a conviction or getting a new trial. But one thing a judge is clearly not supposed to do is blatantly tell a defendant whether a plea deal is good or not. The Eight Circuit recently vacated a defendant's felony possession charge sentence because the district court judge told the defendant that the federal court system "sucks" and he could likely get a better sentence if he went to trial.
The judge was wrong to become so involved in the process. Unfortunately, the judge was also just plain wrong. After taking the judge's advice, the defendant was ultimately sentenced to more time than he would have served if he had accepted the plea bargain to begin with.
A Bad Night Gets Worse and Worse
The case arose when the defendant, who had a criminal record, was pulled over for drunk driving. The police officer noticed a shotgun in the backseat. Criminal charges ensued. Ultimately, the government offered the defendant a minimum of 70 months in exchange for pleading guilty for felon-in-possession charges.
The defendant was not happy with this offer and complained to the judge about his lawyer. The judge apparently agreed, telling the parties that ""[t]hat's probably worse than if he got convicted, right? I mean, because if he gets convicted, he can argue for less, right?"
Well, he could argue for less, but prosecutors could also argue for more. And under federal sentencing guidelines, he lost the "acceptance of responsibility points" by going to trial. Because of this, the minimum sentence was 92 months, which the district court gave him after a short bench trial. Absent the judge's comments, the defendant argued, he would have accepted the plea deal and received a lighter sentence.
Plain Error
"We have no doubt that the court was trying to help, but it was not its job to advise [the defendant], and its comments were inappropriate" wrote the unanimous Eighth Circuit panel. The panel found that the defendant could very reasonably have accepted the plea deal if it wasn't for the judge's comments.
In order to remedy the plain error, the Eighth Circuit vacated the sentence and sent the case back down to lower court – but to a different judge. The new judge in the case, the Eighth Circuit advised, could weigh "the procedural history of the case" and mentioned that acceptance of responsibility points could still be given to the defendant considering the factors in the case. "Making disparaging remarks about the federal system harms the public reputation of judicial proceedings," Circuit Judge David Ryan Stras reminded lower court judges - and us all.
Fair enough. Not being a district court judge myself, however, I can safely relay that the district court judge may have a point. Even if the judge didn't look closely enough at the federal sentencing guidelines in this case.

Out of Africa: The winning ways of the enemies of press freedom
May 4, 2018 | International Director's Blog
World Press Freedom Day 2018
World Press Freedom Day in Africa meant loud drums and a gathering of almost a thousand people – including Ghana's president, senior African judges, hundreds of West African journalists and a keen circus of press freedom advocates from all corners of the world.
The big question before the freedom-hungry crowd was: are things really better now than they were then? 'Then' meaning the day – May 3rd 27 years ago on 1991 – when African journalists met in Namibia under UNESCO's umbrella and produced the Windhoek Declaration?
It marked the moment when African journalists threw off their symbolic chains, born out of apartheid, colonial oppression and autocratic or military governments, and demanded the "holy trinity" of press freedom – media freedom, independence and plurality.
It took just two years from that moment for the nations of the UN in 1993 to declare May 3 the annual World Press Freedom Day – a date to commemorate the hardship of many, and inevitably the death of some of the champions of press freedom; and to take stock of how best to strengthen the defenses against the enemies of free speech.
This year Africa was again the host — in Accra, Ghana, which as its political leaders declared often this week, is widely seen as the best example in all of Africa of press freedom and democracy in action. The main theme was: 'Keeping Power in Check: Media, Justice and the Rule of Law'.
So what about the answer to the question: is Africa, and is the world itself, in a better or worse state with regard to press freedom now compared than then?
World Press Freedom Day 2018, Accra, Ghana
Gwen Lister, who took part in the 1991 Windhoek meeting and was jailed for her struggle for media freedom and independence, spoke in Accra. Her verdict: 'We have gone one step forwards but two steps back'. In brief, the laws are better; Ghana and Namibia now have a vigorous and plural media. But many journalists in Africa still suffer terribly for their work — 73 were killed between 2012 and 2017); and political forces have grown more aggressive in finding ways to dominate the news or take over the media themselves, while the information ocean on social media risks drowning us in doubtful information.
A senior Nigerian media figure, Edetaen Ojo, described the general situation for media on the African continent as 'dire'.
An African woman journalist raised the case of last August's Kenyan elections, where the government used censorship to stifle widespread protests and a member of the Election Commission was killed in horrific circumstances, leading the Supreme Court to annul the election result in favor of the incumbent president. Against that, famously oppressive governments in Zimbabwe and Gambia have been replaced in the past year by more reform-minded ones. All is not lost.
The key to understanding the under-current of doubt and fear at the gathering in Accra is in the title of this year's event: 'Keeping power in check'. Too often, politicians confuse their personal advantage with the public interest and that spells trouble for the rule of law and press freedom. A member of the Human Rights Network for Journalists declared that the rule of law is being trampled in Somalia, Uganda and Liberia because too often the elected politicians actually tell their security forces to kidnap and kill journalists.
Even in Ghana, much lauded for being rated top country in Africa for press freedom, the Media Foundation for West Africa has just published figures showing that the country also tops the list of violent attacks on journalists in the region in the past 16 months, with 45 recorded assaults in that time.
More insidiously, several African speakers lamented the 'brown envelope' syndrome by which journalists are persuaded to attend press briefings and write favorably about powerful figures in return for bribes. One of them was quoted as saying that journalists are paid such a pittance that they are forced to accept the dirty money just to buy their weekend groceries. Penury breeds dependency and corruption, in other words.
Ghana's president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, publicly said that he accepted the need for liberal laws, even though they meant he could be 'vilified' by critical media in his country. He was proud of having repealed Ghana's laws on criminal libel. But he also declared that unethical reporting in the media risked having 'catastrophic effects on the society and on public trust. Critics say he has dragged his feet for too long without living up to a long-standing promise to enact a freedom of information law.
Going back to that nagging question: are things better or worse? On the plus side, fewer dictatorships, higher standards of living and the ongoing Internet revolution have raised public expectations about accountable government and the right to free speech. Yet paradoxically, UNESCO's figures on journalists killed because of their work keeps rising steadily, to over 800 in the past ten years. And the number of journalists in jail around the world has reached a record high of over 260, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The 2018 World Press Freedom Day Prize was awarded in absentia to jailed Egyptian photo-journalist Mahmoud Abou Zeid, known as 'Shawkan'
In Accra the acclaimed Egyptian photo-journalist Mahmoud Abou Zeid, known as 'Shawkan', became a symbol of today's life or death struggle for press freedom and human rights, as he was declared the winner of UNESCO's 2018 World Press Freedom Prize. He has been wrongly held in jail for over four years just for taking news photos at a public demonstration, and prosecutors have reportedly called for him to be sentenced to death. Speakers here called on the Egyptian government to spare his life and free him.
Press freedom and the rule of law cannot be separated, just as the work of politicians and journalists are inexorably linked.
For me the most promising words uttered at this year's Press Freedom gathering were these from Lillian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza, a Justice in the Supreme Court of Uganda. Speaking on the role of the judiciary in enhancing freedom of expression in Africa, she said it was the duty of judges in courts at all levels across Africa to apply 'best practice' by making progressive decisions on the freedom of expression cases that come before them.
Those words are a definition of 'accountability', which is at the heart of the concept of the rule of law and of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, with their forward-looking focus on access to justice, fundamental rights and information.
In that sense nothing much has changed since the Windhoek Declaration. The world still needs free, independent and plural media to hold power to account. The alternative is untruth and injustice.

Doesn't it feel as though Christmas is just around the corner? In a blink we will be in the depth of January, drowning in New year, New me. The Christmas lights are shining. The songs are on repeat and colleagues are either fully embracing the Christmas spirit or hiding away. Over the years Christmas has changed for me. I am no longer the child waking up at 4 am running downstairs with my little sister to see what Santa has left. I am now the 27-year-old who wakes at 4 am and lies in bed until members of my family will wake up and join me in my excitement. I love Christmas as an adult, there are aspects which I did not appreciate as a child which are now the core of Christmas for me. These are the small aspects of festivities which make me love Christmas.
Snuggled on the sofa making my way through Christmas films always makes me feel festive. Muppet Christmas carol 'only one more sleep 'till Christmas', will always make me feel like a child waiting for Christmas again.
At work we have Christmas songs played at 3 pm each day in December, it is one of the perks I love about our company. Christmas songs always fill me with cheer. They encompass so many memories within them.
The German festive markets have been growing in popularity over the years. I always enjoy visiting new markets. Walking around with mulled wine and trying to avoid all the chocolate delights they all sell.
I was always the member of my family who decorated our family home at Christmas. So when I moved into my own home a couple of years ago I could not wait to put my own festive touch on the place. I usually start adding bits to the house in the evenings after work. I always make sure I have a real tree which I love to pick even though the needles drive me crazy. The smell of the tree always fills the house and makes it feel festive.
I love mince pies, I wish I didn't, I believe they contribute to 90% of my Christmas weight. When I say make I purchase the ready-made mince filling from Waitrose. It is delish, but I do make my own pastry these days, so points for that at least??
As a child, I was unaware of how much good friends and family contributed to a perfect Christmas when I was a child. I could now hand on heart say I would leave the presents if it meant I could enjoy the festive time with the people I love. Taking a step back from the hustle of life and catching up with each other is what Christmas is about to me.
England is often portrayed as the perfect Christmas destination. Snowy rooftops, roaring fires, picturesque cottages straight out of the Cotswolds. We are fortunate to have some of the prettiest towns and cities which are enhanced this time of year. I love exploring new places. Stopping to enjoy the quaint shops and uncovering an independent coffee shop. Or stumbling upon a popular pub serving mulled wine, with dogs curled up at the owner's feet after a festive walk. These are my favourite festive days out. Especially after Christmas when you don't want to stop all the indulging and slow way of life.
Sadly as you grow older you realise the things you loved about Christmas as a child have to change. Your family dynamic changes. Whether this is the result of everyone growing up, starting their own families or going their own way. The years your Christmas traditions change can be the hardest. Yet it is always a lovely feeling when something new you enjoy evolves over the years. You let go of the things that you thought would be in your Christmas routine in the future and you feel ok about it.
On Christmas day we always give the horses a day off. I always look forward to my morning stroll, wishing them a Merry Christmas. Annoying them all with Christmas morning cuddles and treating them all to a big Christmas breakfast.
As I have aged and responsibility at work has increased one of the aspects of Christmas I value the most is the opportunity to switch off from work. I have a week off this year which I am already looking forward to. Long lie-ins and no pressures from the 9-5 routine.
I like to get my Christmas shopping finished early so I can then wrap all in one evening. I use to go all out with my wrapping but I soon learned my wrapping was only appreciated by myself and no one else. So now I spend a little less money and invest a little less time. However, I still feel excited when choosing wrapping paper. I pour myself a glass of wine and make everyone's presents look pretty.
Olympia is a tradition in our family which I hope never changes. It is an annual horse show which takes place in London the weekend before Christmas. One of the most famous in the equestrian calendar. We never attend in person, I admire the commitment of those who do so close to Christmas. However, I do I love catching up on the classes BBC televise during the run-up to Christmas. Often baking something with it on in the background or on the sofa with the family. Everyone competing embraces the festive spirit. It will be on BBC over the holidays so have a watch.
If there was ever a benchmark for becoming an adult, enjoying giving a gift over receiving one is it. I would like to think I was always a generous child even if I was a little selfish. I always believed my Mum loved the bottle of homemade perfume I made her when I was 6, still can't believe she never used it. As an adult, I get such a lovely feeling putting thought into what to buy someone. Stumbling across something I know a family member would love.
Because is it even Christmas if there is no brie, Wensleydale with cranberries and crackers?
What are your favourite things to do during the festive period?

I'm a big fan of the X-Men series. I find it quite amusing as it brings together so many different elements to one platform and also because it is one of the first movie franchise that I remember having sequels-to-prequels.
Drawing parallels to the tech startup world, a hands-on technology hustler, who can see through problems, get others to solve problems that he himself cannot solve and to top it all, assume a leadership role that will drive all product development and innovation, is instrumental for a startup. That uncanny ability to read every detail, being able to control and deal with all outcomes, building a product that excels in robustness and user-friendliness, improvising at every step and, at the same time, building your A-team, are valuable traits that makes a Tech Geek a Tech Geek.

Death takes a toll on a family but dying without a will can make things even worse. Here are a few bad situations that you can avoid by having a will before your departure.
Are you in a common-law marriage? Look out!
If you are legally married without any children, your spouse has an entitlement to everything. An unmarried partner or common-law partner, on the other hand, does not enjoy the same benefit. In fact, an unmarried partner receives nothing when their significant other dies without a will (also known as "intestate"). Common-law partners are not considered to be your "next of kin" under the Succession Law Reform Act. In the event you are not legally married, your estate would pass to your children. If you have no children then your next of kin would be your surviving parents or, if none, your siblings. If your siblings are no longer alive then your nephews and nieces would split the estate equally. Notice that nowhere in this list of "kin" is your common-law spouse. If you are in a common-law relationship, you need to take the necessary steps to prevent inadvertently leaving out your common law spouse.
Watch out for your children!
If you have children, your legally married spouse will not inherit everything. (This excludes jointly held property with rights of survivorship). The legally married spouse is entitled to the first $200,000 of the estate and then will share the balance of the estate with your children equally.
A parent is not an automatic Guardian of your child's money.
Estate litigation can be expensive. Why not reduce the likelihood of conflict and keep the money in the estate.
Your legacy and namesake may be forgotten.
What value do you put in leaving behind your name? What does your name mean to you? Did you want to leave a charitable legacy in your name?
Do you have a business name or web domain? What happens to your small business, corporation, or even your private practice if you die?
What happens to your entitlement if you are in a partnership? Can the corporation afford to pay off your family?
If you truly value any of the above, the last thing you'd like to pass on is a legal battle and a divide between family and friends. It happens more often than you think.
Self-drafted or DIY wills may not offer adequate legal protection, particularly if you identify with any of the above scenarios. Talk to a wills and estates lawyer to ensure that when you pass, your estate is distributed as you wish. Hummingbird Lawyers has experts who are all too familiar with the above scenarios. They can advise and assist you with the preparation of a comprehensive will.
Save your loved ones the trouble of dying without a will!


I am from Austin, TX but I am going to school in Sarasota, FL right now. I have been raw since October 2007. The most wonderful part of eating raw for me has been the immense spiritual opening I have experienced as a result. I have always been very conscious about what I put into my body because I am extremely sensitive to food and very aware of its effects on me and I feel that I have finally found a diet that works for me, all parts of me! Raw food has even enabled me to stop taking my thyroid medication! (I found out it was made from thyroid hormone from slaughtered pigs!) Eating raw has helped me to feel light and nimble and truly deepened my yoga practice. Yoga and raw food are my two main interests in life right now.
After this semester I cannot wait to move back to Austin with my mom! I am hoping to get a job at a juice bar/raw take out place down the street from my house. In the fall I am transferring to Naropa University in Boulder, CO for their traditional Eastern Arts program where I plan to major in Yoga and minor in alternative healing.
I teach yoga at my college three times a week and truly love sharing my practice and knowledge with others.
I am very grateful for this site! I get a lot of inspiration for recipes from here!


Human behavior was always something that fascinated me. During my studies I learned about the difference between what people think they do and what they actually do. Since then I have been hooked. You see, when we are under pressure, we react differently to when we have time to think, analyze and react at our own pace.
Some people say that under pressure, we reveal our true selves. Others think it is the opposite – we are ourselves all the time and the ugly side of us comes out when we are pushed. I tend to think that when we are under pressure, our reptilian brain, the one in charge of "fight or flight", takes over. Like a survival mechanism, we react instinctively to protect ourselves when we are stressed or we think we are in danger (whether that danger is real or perceived).
Often times, we see other people's poor behavior and say, "Oh, I would have done it differently. I would have done such and such and I would have said so and so". The truth is, we can speculate about what we might have said until we are blue in the face but until we are in a stressful situation, we will not know how we will react.
As parents, one of the things we always worry about is what kind of a world we will leave for our kids. No matter how many times we vote and realize we can only cast one vote in millions into the box, we somehow still feel it is our responsibility to make sure that when our kids grow up, the world will be safe, clean and pleasant for them. It's OK, it's natural.


The October cover of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing shows a failed windshield washer fluid pump with oxidized wiring.
Oxidization or rust prevents the windshield wiper's motorized pressure pump from moving washer fluid from its reservoir to the hoses and nozzles that squirt the fluid onto the front and/or rear windscreen of a vehicle.
This standard computed tomography (CT) scan was done on a North Star Imaging X5000 system with 220kV.
CT scanning is a non-destructive approach to quality inspection. The process uses X-rays to produce three-dimensional representations of the scanned object – both internally and externally.
Key uses for CT scanning include failure analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), metrology, assembly analysis, porosity, void, crack and defect detection, reverse engineering, geometric dimensioning and tolerance analysis.
North Star Imaging UK, located in High Wycombe, has the ability to demonstrate our digital radiography and computed tomography systems to potential buyers as well as provide immediate X-ray imaging services for companies wanting contract digital radiography or computed tomography imaging.

Q: UIPickerView - selecting component In my iPhone app I have a UIPickerView with 2 columns.
When the user has clicked on the right column and selected an item, they then click a button.
After this I want the left hand columns of the UIPickerView to be selected again.
I can select any row in a column (component) by using
[myPickerView selectRow:myRow inComponent:myComponent animated:YES];
Is there any way I can select the column
 itself ?
Thanks

A: Looking at the problem again (after a night's sleep !) I realised that I was looking at the wrong problem; what I really want to do is resize the columns to their initial state.
I can do this by using the following code
 self.pickerView.delegate = nil;
 self.pickerView.delegate = self;

with the resizing code in
-(CGFloat)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView widthForComponent:(NSInteger)component
{ ...
}

Toronto, November 1, 2007 - FTG announced today they have completed the move and transition of all production of their FTG Aerospace business to a new larger facility. The new facility enabled FTG Aerospace to move from three separate facilities into a single, right-sized facility and provides significant additional manufacturing efficiencies and was designed utilizing the Lean manufacturing methods learned over the past two years.
The facility is approximately 34,000 square feet providing more space than the three facilities and there is an option to add up to 30% more space to the facility if needed. The facility is within 5 kilometers of the previous site and all of the skilled staff employed in the business were retained.
FTG Aerospace vacated the previous facilities effective October 31, 2007.
"In the new facility, there is a larger infrastructure which includes expanded paint booths, machine shop and assembly areas. This is a great platform to enable continued growth of our cockpit lighting business," stated Brad Bourne, President and CEO, FTG Corporation.

Q: How to assign variable in WHILE EXISTS() Loop I would like to iterate through table rows where a certain condition is met. On each iteration I would like to assign two of the current row's value to a variable. This is what I got so far:
    WHILE EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM [Communications] c
WHERE [communicationTypeID] = 2
AND [status] = 0)

SET @communicationId = c.[id]
SET @message = c.[Message]
BEGIN
....

It display an error:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 25
The multi-part identifier "c.id" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 26
The multi-part identifier "c.Message" could not be bound.

Could someone please direct me to the correct direction? I am pretty new to SQL.
Thank you in advance.
Peter

A: It should seems like: (Be carefull and do not run infinite loop... Update comms properly in your stuff inside while loop , or delete id after your stuff)
WHILE EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 *
    FROM [Communications] c
    WHERE [communicationTypeID] = 2
    AND [status] = 0)

BEGIN

SET @communicationId = (SELECT TOP 1 [id] FROM [Communications] WHERE [communicationTypeID] = 2 AND [status] = 0)
SET @message = (SELECT [Message] FROM [Communications] WHERE [id] = @communicationId )

/*Do your stuff here*/

DELETE FROM [Communications] WHERE [id] = @communicationId -- only if you need to delete...

END

Or you can use cursor:
DECLARE ExampleCursor CURSOR FOR
    SELECT [id], [Message]
        FROM [Communications] c
        WHERE [communicationTypeID] = 2
              AND [status] = 0

OPEN ExampleCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM ExampleCursor INTO @communicationId,@message

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

/*do your stuff here by using @communicationId and @message for example*/
INSERT INTO NextTable (addParams)
SELECT addParams
FROM [Communications]
WHERE id = @communicationId

END

CLOSE ExampleCursor;
DEALLOCATE ExampleCursor;

The Hague, The Netherlands (AP) — New restrictions on travel from countries in southern Africa as the world rushes on Saturday to include a new variant of the coronavirus that may be more resistant to the protection provided. It was imposed. Depends on the vaccine.
Many countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Iran, Japan, Thailand and the United States, have joined other countries, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, and restricted to countries in southern Africa in response to warnings about the contagiousness of new variants. I imposed. — Contrary to the advice of the World Health Organization.
Despite the flight shutdown, there was increasing evidence that the variant was already widespread. Cases have been reported by travelers in Belgium, Israel and Hong Kong, and cases are possible in Germany. Dutch authorities are checking for new variants after 61 passengers have been tested positive for COVID-19 on two flights from South Africa.
Global health agencies have named the new mutant Omicron and labeled it a strain of concern because of early evidence that it has a high number of mutations and is more infectious than other mutants. increase. This means that people who have recovered from COVID-19 may catch it again. It may take several weeks to find out if the current vaccine is ineffective against it.
The previous outbreaks of the pandemic are partially fueled by loose borders, as the uncertainty about Omicron variants is so high that scientists are unlikely to materialize the findings over the weeks. Knowing that countries around the world are taking a safety-first approach. policy.
"It seems to be spreading rapidly," President Joe Biden said on Friday about the new variant. The day after celebrating the resumption of Thanksgiving gatherings for millions of American families and at least the feeling that the normal lives of vaccinated people have returned. "We decided to be cautious," he told reporters when he announced the new travel ban.
Approximately two years have passed since the pandemic that claimed the lives of more than 5 million people around the world began, and countries are becoming more vigilant.
Dutch officials quarantined 61 people who tested positive for COVID-19 when they arrived in the Netherlands on two flights from South Africa on Friday. They are conducting further research to see if any of the travelers have a variant of Omicron.
The plane arrived in the Netherlands from Johannesburg and Cape Town shortly after the Dutch government banned flights from southern African countries.
The 539 travelers who tested negative were allowed to return or continue their journey to another country. Those who live in the Netherlands and are allowed to return home under government regulations must be quarantined for at least 5 days.
German officials also said on Saturday that it is "very likely" that a variant of Omicron has already arrived in the country.
Kai Klose, the health minister of Hessen, including Frankfurt, said in a tweet that "some mutations typical of Omicron" were found in travelers returning from South Africa, who had been quarantined at home. The test ordering was not yet complete.
The rapid spread of the subspecies among South African adolescents surprised medical professionals, even though there were no immediate signs that the subspecies would cause more serious illness. In just two weeks, Omicron changed the period of low infection in the country into a period of rapid growth.
Many pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca, Moderna, Novavax and Pfizer, said they have plans to adapt the vaccine in the light of the advent of Omicron.
Professor Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who developed the AstraZeneca vaccine, expressed cautious optimism that existing vaccines may be effective in preventing serious illnesses caused by Omicron variants.
He said most of the mutations appear to be in areas similar to those of other varieties.
"It shows that despite these mutations present in other variants, the vaccine continues to prevent serious illness as it passes through alpha, beta, gamma, and delta." He told BBC Radio. "There is optimism that the vaccine should still be effective against new variants of serious disease, at least from a speculative point of view, but in reality, wait a few weeks for it to be confirmed. is needed."
"It is very unlikely that a pandemic restart will occur in the vaccinated population as we saw last year," he added.
Some experts said the emergence of this variant indicates that vaccine storage by developed countries could prolong the pandemic.
In Africa, less than 6% of people are fully immunized to COVID-19, and millions of healthcare workers and vulnerable people have not yet received a single dose. These conditions accelerate the spread of the virus and increase the chances of it evolving into a dangerous variant.

Edo: Abducted Catholic Priest Regains Freedom
Edo State Police Command on Saturday confirmed the release of the Parish Priest of St. Benedict Catholic Church, Iddo 2, Okpella of Auchi Diocese, Fr. Lawrence Adorolo, who was abducted by unknown gunmen.
Spokesman of the Command, DSP Moses Nkombe, who confirmed the release of the Priest to journalists in Benin, said he was released unhurt and without payment of ransom, adding that the police was on the trail of the kidnappers.
Fr. Adorolo was abducted along Auchi-Okene highway at about 6 pm last Wednesday, while returning from Igarra in Akoko-Edo Local Government area of the State, where he attended the 'Month Mind' of the oldest Priest of the Auchi Diocese, late Fr. Lawrence Balogun, at St. John Apostolic Church, Igarra.
The cleric, who was driving in his Mercedes 350ML SUV, was dressed in his white Cassock and accompanied by a boy living with him when he was abducted.
Sources said Fr. Adorolo was seen at about 10 pm in a community 5 kilometers away from Auchi, the headquarters of Estako West local government area.
He was said to have told the people that he trekked for long hours from where his abductors dumped him.
Commenting on the development, a Priest in Auchi Diocese, Fr. Peter Egielewa, said they were happy that Fr. Adorolo was released unhurt and in good condition.
Meanwhile, the Managing Director of Ogba Zoo and Nature Park in Benin, Mr. Andy Ehanire, who was abducted last week Sunday is yet to be released.
Andy is a brother to the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire and a former Senator and wife of a retired army General, Mrs. Daisy Danjuma.
It would be recalled that three policemen who were on duty at the Zoo were shot dead after the kidnappers allegedly bought drinks for them.
But in spite of the abduction of the Director of the Zoo, it was observed Saturday afternoon that preparations were on to entertain fun seekers for the Independence Day celebration.
Some staff at the Zoo said work was still going on and that lots of tourists were being expected at the Zoo.

Uomini e no è un film del 1980 diretto da Valentino Orsini.

Trama
Il film, tratto liberamente dal romanzo omonimo di Elio Vittorini, è ambientato a Milano nel 1944, durante l'occupazione nazifascista. Un comandante gappista che ha assunto il nome di battaglia di «Enne 2» incontra casualmente su un tram Berta, una donna a cui è stato legato in passato e con la quale ha interrotto i rapporti tre anni prima, dopo essere stato condannato al carcere. Per sfuggire a una retata, Enne 2, seguito da Berta, si rifugia nell'alloggio di Selva, un'anziana partigiana. Rimasti soli, Berta informa Enne 2 di essere sposata da un anno.

Più tardi Enne 2 partecipa a una riunione ristretta di partigiani. Si viene informati che, per rappresaglia dell'uccisione di tre repubblichini, quella sera stessa si sarebbe riunito il tribunale speciale che avrebbe sancito la condanna a morte di trenta antifascisti. Enne 2 propone di assalire il tribunale prima che sia emessa la sentenza e uccidere «Cane nero», il capo dei fascisti; la proposta viene accettata. L'assalto alla sede del tribunale viene eseguita: si hanno perdite nelle file dei partigiani e dei repubblichini; ma Cane nero riesce a salvarsi.

Enne 2 e Berta si incontrano nuovamente a casa di lui: Berta è disposta a rimettersi insieme a Enne 2, ma deve prima spiegare al marito i motivi della sua decisione. Più tardi Enne 2 guida una nuova azione contro Cane nero e i suoi uomini; ma il capo fascista se la cava ancora una volta e riconosce Enne 2 fra gli assalitori. Berta decide la propria linea di condotta e dichiara al proprio marito di lasciarlo per unirsi a chi ha più bisogno di lei. Sui giornali appare una foto di Enne 2, con l'indicazione di una taglia per chi ne favorisca la cattura. I partigiani organizzano perciò il trasferimento di Enne 2: attraverso Lorena gli ordinano di partire l'indomani per Torino e gli consigliano, per prudenza, di lasciare immediatamente la sua abitazione. Enne 2 dichiara di accettare il trasferimento da Milano, ma rifiuta di lasciare la propria abitazione, verosimilmente perché teme che Berta non sappia più come raggiungerlo.

Nel frattempo, un lattaio ha riconosciuto Enne 2 e ne parla ai suoi clienti. Un giovane vicino di casa di Enne 2 si reca dal partigiano per metterlo in guardia sui rischi nei quali può incorrere per la leggerezza del lattaio. Poco dopo lo stesso vicino si accorge che i repubblichini, guidati da Cane nero, stanno circondando il palazzo. Enne 2 rifiuta di mettersi in salvo e decide di compiere un attentato suicida contro Cane nero; Berta giunge nei pressi dell'abitazione di Enne 2 in tempo per assistere alla morte dell'amato. Il vicino di casa di Enne 2, che su invito di quest'ultimo è entrato nell'organizzazione partigiana, non riuscirà a eseguire l'ordine di uccidere un militare tedesco.
