Life in limbo: the Rohingya refugees trapped between Myanmar and Bangladesh
Home /Bangladesh, Burma/Myanmar, Minorities/Life in limbo: the Rohingya refugees trapped between Myanmar and Bangladesh
Bangladesh,Burma/Myanmar,Minorities |
Written by Ashraful Azad.
Violence against the Rohingyas, an ethnic Muslim minority in Myanmar, has reached a new high according to a report published by the United Nations.
Its release followed an investigation that took place on the Bangladeshi border with Myanmar in January, after the UN Human Rights Office team was denied access to the worst-affected areas of northern Rakhine State in Myanmar. Horrific testimonies of brutal killings of adults and children, including babies, as well as gang-rapes and disappearances have been detailed in the document.
Concern about Muslim minorities has been rising in this country since U Ko Ni, a prominent human rights lawyer close to Aung Saan Suu Kyi's party, and a Muslim, was shot dead on January 29.
At least 87,000 Rohingyas have been displaced since the military launched a crackdown in western Rakhine state in early October 2016.As of February 2014, there were 1.33 million Rohingyas in Myanmar, and more than one million living overseas. They are mainly in Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, India and Pakistan.
In Myanmar, most Rohingyas have been stripped of citizenship, and face serious violations of human rightsincluding restriction of freedom of movement, marriage restriction, exclusion from education and health care, enforced birth control, arbitrary taxation and forced labour.
Rohingyas need to apply for travel pass to even visit a neighbouring village and are required to obtain permission for marriage by paying high fees and bribes which can take several years to get. Worse, they are beaten, tortured, killed and raped; their houses are burnt, and the survivors are forced to leave ancestral home for an uncertain future. It's no surprise the Rohingyas are often called the most persecuted people on earth.
Several academic studies have established that the persecution on the Rohingyas amounts to genocide. But the Myanmar government keeps denying these claims.
Why are Rohingyas forced out of Myanmar?
The government actually denies the existence of any ethnic group named "Rohingya". It often considers this group to be "Bengali", formed of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, despite the fact that Rohingya have lived in the Rakhine State for generations.
Under the 1982 Citizenship Law of Myanmar, the government created three classes of citizens: full, associate and naturalised, and subsequently provided colour-coded "scrutiny cards". Pink cards were provided to full citizens, blue for associate citizens and green for naturalised. Most of Rohingyas were not provided a card at all. They are rather considered "Myanmar residents", which means neither citizen nor foreigner.
In 1993, Rohingyas were given "white cards" which allowed them to vote. However, these cards were revoked because of protests by Buddhist nationalist and monks. This meant Rohingyas could not vote in the landmark 2015 general election which paved the way for Aung San Suu Kyi and her party to come to power.
Many candidates, even sitting MPs, from Rohingya and other Muslim groups were banned from participating by all major political parties and the election commission.
Discrimination and violence against Rohingyas mainly lie in a false fear of Muslim power generated by Buddhist nationalists led by radical monks under the 969 movement and Ma Ba Tha (the Organisation for the Protection of Race and Religion).
Although Buddhist monks are usually portrayed as peace-preachers globally, many in Myanmar are involved in political activism. Ashin Wirathu, the charismatic leader of some of these radical movements, often called "Burmese bin Laden", openly spreads anti-Muslim rumours and hatred.
No one dares to challenge Wirathu in fear of retaliation, and major political parties have designed policies considering the likely reaction from Ma Ba Tha. Therefore, not only stateless Rohingyas but also non-Rohingya Muslim groups with Burmese citizenship such as the Kaman people, as well as Muslims in Meiktila and Mandalay, have all faced religious violence. Yanghee Lee, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights for Myanmar was herself labelled as a "whore" by Wirathu when she advocated for human rights of Rohingya in 2015.
The radical monks have drafted and successfully pressured the Myanmar government to pass so-called Race and Religion Protection laws such as Religious Conversion Law, Interfaith Marriage Law and Population Control Law that largely target Muslims.
Although the Ma Ba Tha has become weaker in recent months following a dispute with the Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein, state councillor Aung San Suu Kyi and her party do not dare to challenge the already strong public sentiment against Muslims.
The celebrated transition to democracy in Myanmar has only increased populist pressure and majoritarian autocracy, ironically shutting up the voices of previously active human rights advocates.
Bangladesh's defensive position
Dealing with the waves of Rohingya refugees has always been a dilemma for the bordering host community and the government of Bangladesh. Recently the government has even proposed to relocated the Rohingyas on a flood prone island off the Bangladesh coast. While there is a desire to help the refugees on humanitarian and religious grounds for Rohingyas, which I witnessed during my fieldwork, population pressure and security concerns have put the government in a defensive position.
In 1978, during a major influx of Rohingyas, Bangladesh hosted approximately 222,000 refugees who were mostly repatriated soon after. In 1991-92, another major flow of around 250,000 refugees entered Bangladesh. They have been repatriated, except for about 32,000 who are still staying in two registered camps in Cox's Bazar district in Chittagong.
However, many Rohingyas, including some repatriated ones, continued to cross the porous borders into Bangladesh. These post-1992 arrivals have not been registered officially, and they are living in unregistered camps and along with local communities near the border areas. The similarity in religion and language (Rohingya and Chittagonian dialect are largely similar) has allowed some to become informally integrated into the South-Eastern areas of Bangladesh.
During the fresh arrivals in 2012 after a communal riot in the Rakhine State, the government of Bangladesh took a tougher stance; border guards refused entry to the refugees, pushing them back to Myanmar. This violates the principle of non-refoulmentwhich prohibits the return of refugees to persecution.
Since last October, the government has refused to offer any asylum to the refugees. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told the Bangladeshi parliament, "We cannot just open our doors to people coming in waves".
Political pressure
The government's position can be explained by increasing economic growth of Bangladeshand subsequently less dependence on international aid. This has allowed the government to brush aside international diplomatic pressure. But Bangladesh is far from alone in trying to avoid responsibility amid a global refugee crisis.
Still, many refugees do manage to enter Bangladeshi territory. According to a UN estimate, 66,000 new refugees have taken shelter in Bangladesh in recent months. Before this, as per 2015, the number of unregistered Rohingyas in Bangladesh was estimated to be between 200,000 and 500,000.
Recent government actions seem to follow the directions of a strategy paper designed in 2014. Based on its recommendations, the government has conducted the first-ever census to count "undocumented Myanmar nationals" in Bangladesh. The census result has not been made public so far.
Rohingya policy is also dictated by diplomatic relations with Myanmar. The current government of Bangladesh has shown its serious willingness to improve relations with its neighbour. Dhaka wants to eventually repatriate Rohingyas to Myanmar, but it is happy to increase engagement on other issues such as business in the meantime.
Bangladesh is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol and does not have any national legislation to deal with the refugees.
In the absence of any legal standard, a former UN representative in Bangladesh notes, the refugees are administered through an "ad hoc, arbitrary and discretionary system". Although some Rohingyas have found a safer place to stay in Bangladesh, they are still suffering from fear and insecurity.
According to the Foreigners Act 1946 of Bangladesh, the large number of unregistered Rohingyas are considered "illegal foreigners". Police may arrest them anytime if they wish. Though the police rarely do that, the possibility of arrest and indefinite detention keeps them in constant fear.
They are also not allowed to seek employment, register marriage, move freely and get higher education. Many of them live in overcrowded, unhygienic makeshift camps. In 2010, Physicians for Human Rights reported that the camps are like an "open air prison".
The solution starts with Myanmar
The Rohingya crisis is, first of all, a political issue in Myanmar. The ultimate solution lies in the granting citizenship and ensuring equal rights in their ancestral home.
Unfortunately, the United Nations and influential states have done nothing more than criticise. For powerful neighbours such as India or China, but also for many global players, Myanmar is an untapped resource and investment hub waiting to be explored. It has become evident that the humanitarian intervention is reserved for strategic and business usefulness, not to protect the most vulnerable.
Until a permanent solution is found in Myanmar, it is the responsibility of refugee hosting countries, including Bangladesh, to ensure that Rohingya people can live with basic human rights and dignity. Rather than making administrative interventions, granting proper legal standards would serve both refugees and the national interest of Bangladesh.

As the highest-earning dead celeb, the coming months will see all sorts of strange marketing ideas from Michael Jackson. But with Michael, his first posthumous album, the buzz revolves around the actual music rather than Cirque Du Soleil choreography or weird videogames.
"Breaking News" is the first track to be released from the album, and it's sort of exactly what we expected -- a hybrid of modern dance music, slick production and many layers of Jackson's vocals. The lyrics follow Jackson's struggles with the media, adding a nice personal dimension to the track.
Ultimately, "Breaking News" won't make your neck hair stand on end like Thriller did, but it's definitely strong enough to warrant a few more listens. If all of the posthumous material is this strong, it will definitely be worth some attention.
Stream "Breaking News" here on Michael Jackson's official website for one week only.

Francesco Cherubini (1585 – 24 April 1656) was a Catholic cardinal who served as Bishop of Senigallia.

Life
Francesco Cherubini was born in Montalboddo, near Senigallia in the Papal States in 1585. He completed his studies in Rome earning a doctorate in utroque iure. In Rome he became assistant of Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, and followed the Pamphilj in his Nunciature in Naples (1621–1625) and in Spain (1626–1630). In March 1643 he was made Referendary of the Tribunals of the Apostolic Signature of Justice and of Grace,

A turning point in the life of Francesco Cherubini was the elevation of Giovanni Battista Pamphilj to the papacy as Pope Innocent X in September 1644: he continues to collaborate and to stay near the pope.

On 7 October 1647 Pope Innocent X appointed him Cardinal priest with the title of San Giovanni a Porta Latina. At the death of Innocent X, Cherubini participated to the Papal conclave, 1655.

A few months after that conclave, the new pope Alexander VII appointed Francesco Cherubini as bishop of Senigallia. The episcopal consecration followed on 8 August 1655 in the Roman Church of Church of the Gesù by the hands of Cardinal Marco Antonio Franciotti.

Moved to Senigallia, Francesco Cherubini died some months later, on 24 April 1656. He was buried in the church of S. Croce of "Quattro Colonne", in his native town, Montalboddo.

Klavan On The Culture
Miley Hits Bottom
By Andrew Klavan Aug 28, 2013 3:24 PM ET
On their first date, my mother told my father, "I'm here to be entertained." I guess it's genetic, because this is pretty much the way I feel about life in general. So let me say I was grateful to Miley Cyrus for providing me with some big laughs this week. Listen, I didn't even know the girl couldn't sing, so I was very impressed to find out she can't dance either. Always amazing to see a young person so multi-untalented.
And her incredibly bad Video Music Award performance gave us so very much more to enjoy as well. There was Dennis Miller's wonderfully succinct tweet: "Miley high, inch deep." There was the brilliant remark from Brooke Shields who played the mother of Miley's squeaky clean Disney character Hannah Montana: "Where did I go wrong?" That's not only hilarious, it actually says something kind of profound about the nature of Miley's reality, if reality is the word I want. And there was The Onion's excellent mock column by the managing editor of CNN.com explaining why she decided to make Miley the website's top story: "It was an attempt to get you to click on CNN.com so that we could drive up our web traffic, which in turn would allow us to increase our advertising revenue."
Some people saw Miley's twerking buttocks as signs of the death of our culture, but I suspect the fact that people are looking to pop music for signs of the death of our culture is a sign of the death of our culture. The crappy poems in the New Yorker that no one reads because they're so crappy are signs of the death of our culture. Miley Cyrus on your television set is a sign that the channel button on your remote control is broken. Or maybe it's a sign that you've fallen asleep. Which is a sign that Miley Cyrus is on your television set. Which, for all I know, may be a sign of the death of our culture but I'm not sure because I was watching something else.
There have been many people who laughed at the many people who laughed at or disapproved of Miley. They argue that she is a top recording artist and is making millions of dollars wiggling her bottom, so there. It's a good point when you come to think of it. I mean, who knew women could make money wiggling their bottoms? Why didn't anyone think of that before? And why stop with that? This could create a whole new business model where women strip naked or even have sex with people for money! No, really, I know it sounds outlandish but this could be the next big thing! We could call it… Money-Sex… no, wait… how about… Screwing for Dollars… no, that's not quite it…
Well, never mind, give me some time and I'll think of a name for it.

Q: How to calculate the angle between a rotating reference point and a static remote point at any degree of rotation? Summarize the problem
I am trying to work out the relative angle/direction between two points from the reference of the first. I have two points: a rotating point A (my reference position) and a static (remote) point B which can be positioned at any distance from A from 0-360 degrees. I need to calculate the relative direction from A to B at any rotation of A.
Most basic description:
B is at a fixed positioned at 0 degrees (direct) north of A.
When A is facing north B is at 0 degrees (ahead) of A.
When A is facing west, B is 90 degrees (right) of A
When A is facing south B is 180 degrees (behind) of A
When A is facing east, B is 270 degrees (left) of A
As A rotates, how can I calculate the relative direction (in degrees) from A to B?

A: Suppose $B$ is due north of $A$.
If you measure $A$'s facing angle $\theta$ counterclockwise with north as $0$ then the bearing to $B$ is just that angle.
When $B$ is at an initial bearing angle $\phi$ from $A$ (measured counterclockwise) the whole picture is just rotated by $\phi$ so the facing angle is $\theta - \phi$.

If we already have 2.0.4 beta installed, should we replace it is the new app store release?
It won't matter as it's the same version, we kind of stuffed up a bit by not making the version 2.0.0.5 or 2.0.1 so you'd get an upgrade notification. We'll do it next time.
Just wonering if the new app store version would take care of my synch problem.
No, I don't think so. I think they're there but your browser on Android, because it's old, is not showing them. But you tried on an iPad right?
I don't think Android is a component since I don't have an Android device.. The browser on the desktop is Internet Explorer V8 since the OS is Windows XP Pro SP3+. The OS on the iPad Air is iOS8.1.2. It uses the version of Safari built into iOS. I suspect I don't understand how synch works since Internet Explorer isn't active when I'm doing the synch from the current beta version of MWP. I was under the impression that the synch is between MWP and MWM. Both of these are current, and both are using the same wifi network.
Right, somehow I thought you had an Android device as well, and it won't have anything to do with your browser on the desktop, I was just trying to get you to try it in Google Chrome as that will display that properly where as IE 8 won't.
Anyway, I tried your blacklist and friendslist files when you sent them to me and they sync'd for me, so we're still in the dark as to why they won't sync for you.
I've tried Chrome a couple of times and ended up uninstalling it. The first time, I kept getting a Blue Screen of Death. I suspect it isn't fully compatible with XP Pro. As they say, "It's a mystery". At any rate, synch would be a handy function if I could get it to work, but I can survive without it. Thanks for all your attention.
Just as an aside, sync has worked in the past.

Branford Hills Park: New Playground Opens Saturday July 13
By Pam Johnson/Zip06.com • 07/10/2019 04:22 p.m. EST
Branford Hills Park is now home to the town's newest playground, which will officially open for public use with a brief ceremony on Saturday, July 13 at 10 a.m. (Photo courtesy Alex Palluzzi )
Branford —
On Saturday, July 13, Branford Parks and Recreation will officially open its newest outdoor play park, installed at Branford Hills Park on Jefferson Road. The public is invited to attend a brief ceremony planned for 10 a.m.
Parks and Recreation Director Alex Palluzzi notes the new playground is the sixth version of the town's auditory and sensory-friendly playgrounds to be installed, following installations at parks and schools in recent years which include newer playgrounds in Stony Creek, Short Beach, Hammer Field, Indian Neck School and Branford Early Learning Center (formerly Pine Orchard School).
Featuring 13 acres of fenced-in open space, Branford Hills Park officially opened in October 2017, after the demolition of the former Branford Hills School (built in 1955) on the site in 2016. The park will soon host an irrigated soccer field and currently includes a basketball court which was renovated (resurfaced, repainted and fitted with new nets) in 2017.
The addition of the new playscape adds a new dimension to the site which will provide accessible recreation for young ones, said Palluzzi. It includes a handicapped accessible swing as part of a new swing set, which also has two toddler swings and two children's swings. A main feature is the slide tower which has three slides (a steep slide for bigger kids, and two smaller slides for younger ones), with climbing arrays and other interactive components. A double teetor-totter (four riders), two spin seats and other inviting play equipment has also been installed. The 40-foot by 120-foot play space also features low-impact "Fibar" playground surface ground cover.
The park provides a new public play space that's accessible to residents in an area of town that includes a mix of single family homes and large condominium and apartment complexes.
"It's definitely been an underserved population," said Palluzzi.
The new playground was installed at the cost of approximately $75,000, with the money coming from special funds derived from Branford Parks and Recreation program proceeds, said Palluzzi.
"This is a great way to put that money back into the community," he said.

Q: Equipartition Theorem for the microcanonical ensemble - valid only in the thermodynamical limit? I'm following the derivation of the equipartition theorem for the microcanonical ensemble, as I have seen it on wikipedia.
In the end, it derives:
$$
\langle x_m \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_n} \rangle = \delta_{nm} \frac{1}{\frac{\frac{\partial \Omega}{\partial E}}{\Omega}}
$$
And then they use $S = \log \Omega$ to arrive at the temperature. What bugs me about this is that $\Omega$ is not the partition sum of the microcanonical ensemble here:
$$
\Omega = \int_{H<E} d\Gamma
$$
While
$$
Z_{\text{microcanonical}} =  \int_{H=E} d\Gamma \approx  \frac{1}{\Delta E} \int_{E < H < E + \Delta E}
$$
Here $\Gamma$ denotes a microstate (in statistical mechanics, that would be an element of phase space).
I have read that for large N, most of the volume lies in the surface of a hypersphere with dimension N, and because of that this approximation of $\Omega = Z$ can be made, but does that also mean that the equipartition theorem for the microcanonical ensemble is only valid for large N as well?
To me that's shocking, as the equipartition theorem is the way of obtaining microscopic temperatures from systems (for example when you simulate a system with 100 particles and then calculate a temperature for each timestep).
Can we somehow safe the derivation?
Edit: As I have read now in thisquestion, there is a different entropy used in this formula that is also called "Gibbs Entropy". This entropy strangely yields the correct temperature in the equipartition theorem.

A: I have met the same problem reading that. I did some research and found this paper helpful: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2889939
The authors of this paper argue that for microcanonical ensemble, it is the Boltzmann-Planck definition $S=k\ln\omega$ that should be used, where $\omega$ is the number of microstates with total energy being held strictly fixed at $E$. The equally division of kinetic energy is still valid:
$$\langle\mathbf{p}_i\cdot\nabla_{\mathbf{p}_j}H\rangle = \delta_{ij}2\frac{\langle K\rangle}{N} = \delta_{ij}\frac{2}{N}\langle\sum_{i=1}^N\frac{p_i^2}{2m_i}\rangle$$
But because of the use of $\omega$ instead of $\Omega$, now $\langle K \rangle$ has no direct relation to the temperature. The temperature is related to the kinetic energy by:
$$\left(\frac{3N}{2}-1\right)kT=\left[\langle K^{-1}\rangle\right]^{-1}$$
This implies that if we want to calculate the temperature of a microcanonical ensemble, we should calculate the ensemble average of the inverse of the kinetic energy.
The result above can be derived as follows. We assume that the Hamiltonian can be expressed as
$$H = \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{\mathbf{p}_i^2}{2m_i} + U(\mathbf{r}_1\ldots,\mathbf{r}_N)$$
The number of microstates in a microcanonical ensemble is
$$\omega(N,V,E) = \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int\delta(E-H) d^{3N}rd^{3N}p$$
So the temperature can be calculated as
$$\frac{1}{kT} = \frac{\partial\ln\omega}{\partial E} = \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int\delta^\prime(E-H) d^{3N}r d^{3N}p$$
To evaluate that, we can perform the Laplace transform on it ($E$ to $s$):
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{L}\left[\frac{\partial\ln\omega}{\partial E}\right] &= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int\int\delta^\prime(E-H)e^{-sE}dE\ d^{3N}r d^{3N}p
\\&= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int se^{-sH}\ d^{3N}r d^{3N}p
\\&= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int s\exp[ -s (\sum_{i=1}^N \frac{\mathbf{p}_i^2}{2m_i} + U)] d^{3N}rd^{3N}p
\\&= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g}(2\pi)^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^Nm_i^{3/2} s^{-(3N/2-1)} \int e^{-sU}d^{3N}r
\end{aligned}
By inverse Laplace transform we can get
$$ \frac{1}{kT} = \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} (2\pi)^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^Nm_i^{3/2} \int \frac{(E-U)^{3N/2-2}}{\Gamma(3N/2-1)} \Theta(E-U) d^{3N}r$$
where $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step function. On the other hand, the ensemble average of the inverse of kinetic energy is
$$\langle K^{-1}\rangle = \langle (E-U)^{-1}\rangle = \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int \frac{\delta(E-H)}{E-U} d^{3N}pd^{3N}r$$
The Laplace transform of this is
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{L}\left[\langle K^{-1}\rangle\right] &= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int \frac{e^{-sH}}{H-U}d^{3N}pd^{3N}r
\\&= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} \int \frac{ \exp(-s\sum_{i=1}^N \frac{p_i^2}{2m_i}) }{ \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{p_i^2}{2m_i} } d^{3N}p \int \exp(-sU) d^{3N}r
\end{aligned}
To calculate the integral over $p$, we can make a coordinate transform $p^\prime_i = p_i/\sqrt{2m_i}$, and let $\xi^2 = \sum {p^\prime}^2$:
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{L}\left[\langle K^{-1}\rangle\right] &= \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} 2^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^Nm_i^{3/2} \int \frac{e^{-s\xi^2}}{\xi^2} d^{3N}p^\prime \int e^{-sU} d^{3N}r
\\&=\frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} 2^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^Nm_i^{3/2} \int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-s\xi^2}}{\xi^2} A(\xi)d\xi \int e^{-sU} d^{3N}r
\end{aligned}
where $A(\xi)$ is the surface of a 3N-dimension sphere with radius $\xi$ and is equal to
$$ A(\xi) = \frac{2\pi^{3N/2}}{\Gamma(3N/2)}\xi^{3N-1}$$
Substitution of this into the integration above yields
$$\mathcal{L}\left[\langle K^{-1}\rangle\right] = \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} (2\pi)^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^N m_i^{3/2} \frac{1}{3N/2-1} \int \frac{e^{sU}}{s^{3N/2-1}} d^{3N}r$$
By inverse Laplace transform, we can finally get
$$\langle K^{-1} \rangle = \frac{1}{\omega} \frac{\Delta E}{g} (2\pi)^{3N/2} \prod_{i=1}^N m_i^{3/2} \frac{1}{3N/2-1} \int \frac{(E-U)^{3N/2-2}}{\Gamma(3N/2-1)} \Theta(E-U) d^{3N}r$$
By comparing this with the result of $1/kT$, we can easily find
$$\left(\frac{3N}{2}-1\right)kT=\left[\langle K^{-1}\rangle\right]^{-1}$$
So using different definitions of entropy yields different results. The authors elaborated on why they believe $S=k\ln\omega$ is the right one to use. They calculated the distribution of speeds using both $\omega$ and $\Omega$ and demonstrated that only the former is consistent with their MD simulation of 10 hard-sphere particles. Since the entropy can also be seen as an ensemble average ($S=-k\langle \ln\rho\rangle$, $\rho$ is the probability density of a microstate), it is reasonable to do it in the phase space $\omega$ too. Also, they found that $\langle K\rangle_\Omega=\sum\langle p_i^2\rangle_\Omega / 2m_i \not= \langle E-U\rangle_\Omega$ and this result is considered as not physical. Those who approve the use of $S=k\ln\Omega$ often cite the result that $\Omega$ is adiabatically invariant, but this reason is insufficient in the authors' opinion.
The authors also derived the result for $NVE\mathbf{PG}$ ensemble in which total momentum $\mathbf{P}$ and $\mathbf{G}=t\mathbf{P} - M_{total}r_c$ are also constant. This is important for molecular dynamics simulation because most of the time we do the "$NVE$ ensemble MD", we only simulate once and then calculate the time average. If there is no external force, what we get is actually a $NVE\mathbf{PG}$ ensemble. The results are slightly different:
$$\langle\frac{\mathbf{p}_i^2}{2m_i}\rangle = \frac{M_{totle}-m_i}{M_{total}(N-1)}\langle E-U\rangle + \frac{Nm_i-M_{total}}{2(N-1)M_{total}^2}\mathbf{P}^2$$
$$\left(\frac{3(N-1)}{2}-1\right)kT=\left[\left\langle \left(E-U-\frac{\mathbf{P}^2}{2M_{total}}\right) ^ {-1} \right\rangle\right]^{-1}$$
In the thermodynamic limit where $N$ is large, the result of the equipartition theorem and the results derived in this paper for $NVE$ and $NVE\mathbf{PG}$ ensemble become equivalent. So in that case it's still safe to use the equipartition theorem to calculate the temperature in $NVE$ MD simulations.

"With the advent of the Internet and digital technology, the twenty-first century has ushered in a quantum increase in the ways to create, disseminate, and commercially exploit creativity. Digital technology allows anyone to create perfect digital copies of protected works in the comfort of their homes and to distribute them to tens, hundreds, thousands, and even millions of people with the click of a hyperlink via a handheld device. Indeed, copyright touches more ordinary people in substantial ways in this age of information than at any other time in American copyright history.
This Article asserts that copyright reform initiatives should "sample" (that is, borrow from) patent policies that protect access for further innovation to "remix" (that is, inform and reform) copyright law for the same end in the creative context. Throughout the Article, I use appropriation art to illustrate how an established cumulative medium of artistic creation is negatively impacted by overly restrictive copyright laws and may benefit from patent policies seemingly more well suited to encourage and support such creative innovation.
Copyright has already borrowed from its constitutional cousin in creating a misuse doctrine, for example. I assert other patent policies and practices are ripe for the borrowing. Patent policy, despite its own problems to be sure, still presents as more a robust, well-defined and generally a more efficient system of incentives to create. This approach both empowers creators to access and make use of existing works for certain purposes and at the same time still protects rights holders in a way that honors the Constitutional directive to secure certain exclusive rights. Such an approach is particularly vital for traditionally collaborative and cumulative creative mediums that produce musical, dramatic and audiovisual works. Accordingly, patent policy should be "sampled" to "remix" copyright.
Part I explores the problems of applying a twentieth century legal framework to twenty-first century "creative innovation", as I describe it, and the benefits of second-generation creative output. In this Part, I put a finer point on the general observations noted throughout this Article by way of the "appropriation art" example. I highlight the different outcome an appropriation artist might experience when her creative effort is protected under "patentesque" policies that better protect use of existing works for the purpose of further creation in contrast to the result under the current copyright framework.
Part II of this Article explores copyright and patent laws as distinct legal regimes. This Part addresses the historical underpinnings of intellectual property protection generally and how both regimes developed as mostly distinct entities until software emerged. In the case of copyright, I also address the impact of Congressional overprotection coupled with the additional private fences erected by rights holders via technological and contractual measures to further extend the reach of their exclusive rights beyond what copyright actually protects.
Part III provides a brief history of the role of reverse-engineering in the inventive context under trade secret law and as applied to digital goods under patent, copyright and a hybrid regime, the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act. Further, I examine briefly how reverse engineering is used in the video game industry and digital music production to support further innovation and to apply my theoretical assertions not just to literary and artistic productions but to the process of creation itself. Finally, this Part highlights the role of misuse in both the copyright and patent contexts as an alternative approach courts have used to limit both monopolies with, admittedly, varying degrees of success. Strong recognition of the copyright misuse doctrine, I argue, would protect cumulative creation in genres like appropriation art that benefit from, and have traditionally relied on, such in a way that causes little, if any, market harm to the rights holder.
Finally, Part IV explores the blurring of the distinction between copyright and patent protection in the digital age. This Part challenges historic notions of the bright-lined semantic demarcation between the terms "innovation" (traditionally attributed to patent law) and "creativity" (traditionally linked to copyright law). Because computer programs are afforded both copyright and patent protection, for example, Congress and the Supreme Court have and continue to blur the distinction traditionally made in the subject matter of both regimes. Given the current legislative, judicial and technological cross-pollination of innovation and creativity in crafting, adjudicating and applying copyright law, this twenty-first century trend – indeed, this reality – should be embraced rather than resisted."

Draft Hung Hom Outline Zoning Plan approved
The Chief Executive in Council has approved draft Hung Hom Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use framework to guide development and redevelopment in the Hung Hom area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (November 16).
The Planning Scheme Area, covering about 145 hectares, is located in the southeastern part of Kowloon Peninsula. It is bounded by Ngan Hon Street to the north; Chatham Road North and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) Hung Hom Station to the west; Kai Tak new development area to the east; and Victoria Harbour to the south.
The existing built-up areas within the Hung Hom area are characterised by a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses, while the Reclamation Area serves to provide land for the extension of hotel/office developments from Tsim Sha Tsui East, residential developments, open space and public facilities to help redress the provision shortfalls.
About 6.4 hectares of land is zoned "Commercial" which covers the existing commercial developments such as Hung Hom Commercial Centre, Peninsula Square, Fisherman's Wharf, Harbourfront and Harbour Plaza, and the proposed commercial developments at Cheong Tung Road and on the Reclamation Area.
Some 22.1 hectares of land is zoned "Comprehensive Development Area" for comprehensive developments. The Whampoa Garden, a site at the junction of Hung Luen Road and Kin Wan Street and two sites at the junction of Cheong Hang Road and Winslow Street are within this zone.
About 26.9 hectares of land, covering nearly all the existing residential developments in Hung Hom as well as the residential sites on the Reclamation Area, is zoned "Residential (Group A)". Royal Peninsula and Laguna Verde are zoned "Residential (Group B)" covering about 6.6 hectares of land.
About 15.1 hectares of land is zoned "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") for specific uses, such as funeral parlour/depot, public mortuary, KCRC freight yard and the Metropolis above, ferry piers and sewage treatment plant. About 7.4 hectares of land under the "OU" zoning is intended for "Business" uses where a mix of non-polluting industrial, office and other commercial uses are permitted as of right.
To serve the needs of the local and district population, about 13 hectares of land is zoned "Government, Institution or Community". Examples of the major existing facilities are the fire station at Fat Kwong Street, the clinic at Station Lane, the Tai Wan Shan swimming pool complex, and the market complex at the junction of Ma Tau Wai Road and Dyer Avenue.
About 13.4 hectares of land is zoned "Open Space" for active and passive recreational uses. The rest of the Area, about 41.6 hectares, is for major roads and other uses.
The approved Hung Hom OZP No. S/K9/20 is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Kowloon District Planning Office, the Kowloon City District Office and the Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
Copies of the approved OZP are available for sale at Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan is viewable from the board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.

Fictional media effectively addresses global issues
Michael Battista - April 30, 2018 0
Immigration is a complicated but important topic to discuss. There is no one right answer that would make everyone happy, but there are plenty of wrong ways to handle it. In the same vein, the way immigration is handled in media needs to accurately highlight the experiences of people who go through the process.
NHL playoffs worth lengthy postseason
I love the smell of ice in the morning. The National Hockey League playoffs started a few weeks ago, and I've been enjoying myself immensely so far despite the fact that the New York Rangers failed to make the postseason for the first time since 2010.
Maryland ends ice hockey's successful season
Michael Battista - February 26, 2018 0
After one final practice at Loucks Ice Center and an overnight six hour bus trip, the College's club ice hockey team made its first appearance in the American Collegiate Hockey Association Southeast Regional tournament on Friday, Feb. 23. The team ultimately fell to the University of Maryland, 6-1, at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Lions freeze opponents to take CSCHC Cup
The College's club ice hockey team entered the Colonial States College Hockey Conference playoffs as a fourth seed and left as the conference's first ever two-time champion with a 14-5 win over second seed University of Scranton, on Sunday, Feb. 18 in the conference final. The team continued its victory streak after advancing past West Chester University, 4-1, in the quarterfinals on Friday, Feb. 16, and overcame the University of Pennsylvania in an overtime thriller, 7-6, on Saturday, Feb. 17.
Club ice hockey team set for conference playoffs
Coming into this season, the College's club ice hockey team had the biggest target on its back in the team's 40-year history. The team's 23 wins last season propelled the Lions to their third conference title, and their first in the Colonial States College Hockey Conference. The team also made its first trip to the American Collegiate Hockey Association regional playoffs. Now, the team is skating back into the playoffs, which will be played on home ice because of last season's conference title. As the fourth seed, the Lions are preparing to play fifth seeded West Chester University on Friday, Feb. 16 at Loucks Ice Center at the Lawrenceville School.
Neither Super Bowl team worth celebrating
Michael Battista - February 6, 2018 1
Well Philadelphia, you did it. Backup quarterback Nick Foles and the underdogs finally have a ring to call their own. It doesn't matter that Eagles fans have pretty much destroyed the city and made their cars thoroughly "lit." They can finally join everyone else in the National Football Conference East as Super Bowl champions. I'm glad some people are happy. The past two weeks have been awful as a New York Giants fan. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. There was no right answer when I was asked who I wanted to win Super Bowl LII. Yet here at the College, I've seen more green than ever, and I'm fairly sure some of the fans who supported the city of brotherly love are defectors of the Big Apple.
Tcnj.snap deserves to be saved
Michael Battista - January 22, 2018 0
Despite being away from the College for more than a month, last semester's campus controversy and subsequent shutdown of the unofficial College Snapchat, tcnj.snap, by its faceless creator continues to chip away at me — I believe it was the wrong way to handle the issue of racism in our community.

Tonight we welcome Helena Bugallo and Amy Williams (the Bugallo-Williams Duo) to London to perform a concert of virtuosic and exciting music for four-hands piano at MeWe360.
Aaron Holloway-Nahum: Hi Amy! We're so excited to have you with us in London. You work internationally as a pianist and as a composer, how does your performance influence your own composition?
Amy Williams: Thanks for having me! We're excited to be playing in London on the Riot Ensemble series. My performance influences my composition very directly—I think very much about the role of the performer, sometimes specifically (what would she or he want to play, what is his or her sound at the instrument), but also performative issues such as physicality and coordination. And I analyze pieces that I play very much from a composer/theorist's perspective. So it works both ways.
AHN: Amazingly, you and Helena will be performing four transcriptions of Conlon Nancarrow's player piano studies. Could you tell us a little bit about how you transcribed these really complex studies? Have they gotten any easier to perform?
AW: We first discovered one arrangement that our teacher, pianist/composer Yvar Mikhashoff, had made in the late 80s for piano four-hands (which we will play on this concert). And so we wondered if there might be more that was humanly possible. We worked with composer Erik Ona, who looked through the scores (yes, there are scores!) of all 50 or so Studies for Player Piano. He determined that there were about 10 that could be arranged for piano duet, without sacrificing notes, rhythmic relationships or tempo. He arranged 3 of these for us and then we started arranging them ourselves.
We currently have 13 arrangements, including one for two pianos and one for two-pianos/eight-hands. Other musicians in the future might determine there to be more—but we are pretty ecstatic to have this much of Nancarrow's incredible music to play live for audiences. They are always difficult to play, since they were written for a machine, but they have certainly become easier over time and many, many repetitions.
AHN: What advice do you have for composers looking to write for piano duo?
AW: Work with the pianists as closely as you can! Especially with four-hands, think very hard about the physicality of the medium. A chord in the middle of the piano feels very different to play when you are sitting way up at the top of the piano.
AHN: What's coming up for you next?
AW: We are recording our second volume of Stravinsky's arrangements for piano duo—this will include Petrushka and Concertino (which we will play on the concert), as well as Agon and Scherzo a la Russe. And our CD of the complete original works for piano duo of Gyorgy Kurtag (and some transcriptions) will come out in the next few months, also on Wergo.
AHN: We can't wait to hear it Amy!

Many To get proper Quran lessons is the right of every Muslim who wishes to learn the Quran and all of us should be given the opportunity to do so. Quran lessons given at a very young age is the best way to learn the Quran and all Muslim parents must encourage their children to do so by providing them with a learned teacher of the Quran. In most Muslim households Quran lessons are given by teachers who come over to the house and teach the children the Quran with proper tajweed and pronunciation. They are taught to point towards and pronounce each letter of the word of Allah with careful concentration and focus, so as to not only learn the Quranic words but also get a complete overview of the meaning and interpretation of what Allah wants to say to us.
Quran lessons, hence, given to children at a very young age not only makes them aware of the Almighty Allah and His Oneness but also broadens up their horizon and their minds, making it easier for them to handle all that comes their way in all walks of life. Embracing Quran lessons as a routine and doing it for the sake of Allah is what we should ingrain in our children at a very young age. But even if Quran lessons are not given to children it is not the end of the world. Even adults who have not studied the Quran in their youth should take Quran lessons to understand what Allah wants from us in our lives. May all Muslims get an opportunity to get Quran lessons in its entirety and learn the Quran completely, not only in words but also in meaning, Ameen.

Le Chandelier est une pièce de théâtre en trois actes d'Alfred de Musset, parue en 1835.

Historique
Le Chandelier est paru dans la Revue des deux Mondes en 1835. Il a ensuite été monté au Théâtre-Historique le . Une jeune actrice prometteuse, mademoiselle Maillet, remplissait le rôle de Jacqueline. Elle mourut quelques mois plus tard. La distribution des autres rôles était si défectueuse et l'exécution si insuffisante, que le public put à peine comprendre la pièce. C'était une œuvre trop délicate pour attirer la foule au boulevard du Temple, elle disparut après quelques représentations. Le , il reparut sur l'affiche de la Comédie-Française, avec Delaunay dans le rôle de Fortunio et Allan dans le rôle de Jacqueline, et cette fois elle fut jouée avec une rare perfection. C'est pourquoi on a considéré les artistes de la Comédie-Française comme ayant créé les rôles.

La pièce a brièvement été interdite, au mois d', alors qu'on jouait encore le Chandelier avec un grand succès, par un ordre exprès du ministre de l'Intérieur Léon Faucher.

Argument
Cette histoire est celle du chandelier qui brûle les doigts de celui qui l'avait allumé : le notaire maître André est courroucé contre sa femme, la jeune et jolie Jacqueline, car un de ses clercs a vu un homme escalader son balcon. Il veut en acquérir la preuve pour mener la coupable en justice. Il entre dans la chambre de sa femme qui dort ou fait semblant de dormir. Menacée du contenu du pot à eau de sa toilette, elle se réveille et se justifie des soupçons de son mari avec tant d'adresse et d'énergie que maître André tombe à ses genoux, lui demande pardon de ses injures et s'en retourne sans vouloir faire de perquisition dans la chambre à coucher. À peine est-il parti que Jacqueline ouvre vite une armoire pour en faire sortir, tout brisé, le capitaine Clavaroche, son amant. Il suggère à Jacqueline, pour détourner les soupçons de son mari, de choisir « un chandelier », c'est-à-dire un jeune homme dont elle se fera aimer en feignant pour lui un certain attachement et qui sera par suite surveillé, tandis que le véritable amant jouira en paix de sa conquête. Forcée d'avoir recours à cet expédient, Jacqueline choisit, pour tenir le rôle de l'obligeant porte-flambeau, Fortunio, troisième clerc de son mari. Or il se trouve justement que Fortunio aime Jacqueline à la folie. Il remplit donc parfaitement son rôle pendant que Clavaroche rit de sa naïveté, le fait chanter à table et le désigne perfidement à la jalousie de maitre André. Lorsqu'une conversation surprise par hasard lui révèle que Clavaroche est le véritable amant de Jacqueline, le désespoir envahit le jeune Fortunio. Comme le notaire, dont les pièges à loup mis pour surprendre l'amant de sa femme n'ont attrapé qu'un chat, a de nouveaux soupçons qu'il prétend éclaircir en se cachant la nuit dans l'étude, Clavaroche, qui s'est aperçu que Jacqueline commençait à s'éprendre du jeune clerc, conseille à celle-ci d'écrire à Fortunio pour lui donner, à minuit, rendez-vous au jardin. Jacqueline envoie le billet, mais émue par les déclarations de Fortunio, elle craint que maître André n'agisse trop brutalement avec lui et le fait venir dans sa chambre. Fortunio se présente et accable la jeune femme de reproches : il savait tout et, malgré cela, serait allé à minuit se dévouer et mourir pour elle. Touchée, Jacqueline ne peut résister à ce témoignage d'amour et se jette dans les bras du clerc qui, triomphant, dit à son tour à l'officier penaud : « Chantez donc,  ! »

 Jacqueline, sa femme
 Clavaroche, officier de dragons

Adaptations

Au cinéma
 En 1910, André Calmettes réalise pour le cinéma une adaptation de la pièce sous le titre La Mésaventure du capitaine Clavaroche.

Brits are more likely to have seen the Eiffel Tower than Stonehenge, a study has found.
A survey of 2,000 adults found less than half of the population have visited Wiltshire's prehistoric monument, with one in twenty even claiming to have never heard of it.
But 52 per cent have taken a trip to Paris' towering 1,063 ft tall landmark named after engineer Gustave Eiffel.
And while just 23 per cent have visited Dorset's Chesil Beach, more than a third have been to Disneyland, in France.
One in 10 admit they've never even heard of Cheddar Gorge, with just 42 per cent taking a trip to the Somerset beauty spot.
Other top sights many Brits haven't seen before include the Roman Baths, Blackpool Tower and the Angel of the North.
Isabel Williams, head of customer insight at online car rental service Rentalcars.com, which commissioned the research said: "From the Empire State Building to the Taj Mahal, Brits love nothing more than an Instagram shot showing how much of the world they've seen.
"And while people flock from all over the world to see the landmarks we have here at home, it seems Brits are less likely view what is on their doorstep.

"Some of the sights rival those abroad, and often all they need is a short drive to get to discover them."
The study also found more than two thirds never seen the Clifton Suspension Bridge, and 18 per cent haven't even heard of it.
Four in 10 have never visited the Lake District, and more than half haven't ever seen the famous White Cliffs of Dover.
The Forth Bridge, Hadrian's Wall and Kew Gardens are also among the landmarks many Brits are yet to see.
As a result, more than 60 per cent admit they should spend more time exploring the sights and landmarks on their own doorstep.
But a fifth don't believe a landmark really counts if it's too close to home, and half rarely holiday in the UK so don't get the chance to visit the sights.
And 30 per cent say they're more likely to visit an attraction outside of the UK than one at home, according to the research conducted through OnePoll.
The research also found one in four adults visit a landmark to take pictures of them, while 43 per cent want to admire the history.
One in 10 go to a specific site based on the recommendations of others, while almost one 20 take a trip to a landmark so they can post about it on social media.
It's not just visiting the landmarks which is a problem though, as just four in 10 able to name the famous Angel of the North's location as Gateshead – with some believing it could be found in Leeds.
Almost a fifth also struggled to identify Ben Nevis as a Scottish mountain, suggesting instead it was simply a man's name, or the name of a cathedral.

This a movie review of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION.
Palms perspiring at the tension levels, the pencil kept slipping out of my hand as I was writing notes during the Vienna-set opera action scene. Director Christopher McQuarrie wisely opts not to compete with the previous film's pinnacle Burj Khalifa sequence and instead ups the corporeal stakes. Violence on the verge of erupting hangs in the air. McQuarrie (THE WAY OF THE GUN), like fellow filmmaker Shane Black (LETHAL WEAPON, THE LAST BOY SCOUT), knows that formidable adversaries, unafraid to express themselves through brutality, are a necessity in an action-thriller to grip the audience.
Talking of other movies, there is an acknowledgement of how movies work and then upping the ante. Why have the lead try and stop one assassin, when he has to prevent murder by blocking two killers in different locations with one bullet? Too many creatives just focus on the hero/heroine, but there appears to be a new crop who understand that that there must be Kubrickian/Finchian overwhelming odds, almost to the point where if Ethan Hunt and team give up, you would just hug them in empathy.
Talking of teamwork, this is what makes the last three MISSION: IMPOSSIBLES stand out from the espionage actioner. Super-human individuals taking on groups are replaced by the idea of us not being islands. Benji, William Brandt (Jeremy Renner) and Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) winningly return. Each clearly demarked – the enthusiast, the cynic and the pessimist. One thing though, where are the returning lady spies played by Maggie Q and Paula Patton? Their replacement reminds of Charlize Theron's Imperator Furiosa in MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson). Both are enjoyably lethal.
Her name, "Faust", does not seem to be an accident, as she is subsumed in a clandestine, nefarious anti-I.M.F. organisation, "The Syndicate". Knowledge comes at a price. High art is referenced throughout. Aria 'Nessun Dorma' is a recurring musical theme. English translation 'None Shall Sleep' is apt for the globetrotting chase, as the last remnants of the I.M.F. (disbanded within the first 30 minutes) track the insidious.
While BOND is about realigning the world back to the way it was, and BOURNE the opposite – a mirror reflecting authoritarianism, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is a mixture – prevention of mayhem (while also creating it) and a government force worryingly prone to birthing bad elements. Perhaps a reflection of Lord Acton's statement of power tending to corrupt? Then there's the baddie Solomon Lane (Sean Harris – who can do this sort of a role in his sleep) – a play on Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane? Kane had no other purpose than to take on evil. Lane has no other raison d'être other than the opposite.
Each instalment in the franchise has been handled by different filmmakers, who have been able to leave their individual stamp. The commonality of crooked espionage and Tom Cruise have somehow allowed each director to breathe. Marvel Studios, take note.
