Mediating Radicalism Of The Undergraduate Youth Of Sri Lanka
By Piyumani Ranasinghe –

"The main hope of a nation lies in proper education of its youth" ~ Erasmus
Against the backdrop of all 9 faculties of the University of Peradeniya being closed, due to an alleged "crisis" situation at the Engineering Faculty, there is no better time to ponder on the question of undergraduate radicalization and the future of our island nation, than right now. The fact that, the undergraduate youth continue to provide a hotbed for violence and radical politics not only reflect the dysfunctional setting of the entire social structure and our long-revered education system; but also signals at a dying canary in a coal mine. The issue, if not tackled soon, will lead to dire consequences, which can disintegrate the society at large. Mediating radicalism of the undergraduate youth of Sri Lanka is a constructive way forward, not only in peacefully resolving the issue, but also changing the nature in which the youth think and interact in conflict.
The "Crisis"
The current issues within the University system of Sri Lanka in general, is constructed around: politically motivated violence; unemployable graduates; deterioration of academic freedom and the university autonomy; quality and quantity issues of research and innovation; as well as quality of the curriculums. Validating the strong sentiment in society that the university system is at a fix, the "crisis" in the University of Peradeniya emerges a little over two months ago, with the Engineering Student Union boycotting the end-semester examinations of the Faculty due to several reasons. The boycott led to the closing down of the entire University (holidays for over 12,000 students!) for two months, although, all with the exception of the Engineering faculty is to recommence work from the 13th of August onwards. However, the academic curriculum for most faculties starts only after the 20th of August adding into the further delay of the already delayed academic calendar. The Engineering Faculty still remains closed.
A close examination of student protests in Peradeniya shows us the dissatisfaction of the student community as a whole in terms of several issues. Topping the list is the nature in which the 80 percent attendance was calculated (students alleging improper calculation in the aftermath of the non-academic strike which took place at the beginning of 2018); the lack of infrastructure development within the Faculty (the Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering Laboratory which caught on fire two years ago continuing to be under construction till date); affixing CCTV cameras in faculty premises for safety (although the opposition to this hardly makes sense) and industrial training and welfare related issues of the student body. In this context, the alleged politicization of the administration is only firewood to an already flaring fire. The sad reality is that, with the addition and revision of certain slogans, it is apparent that the crisis in Peradeniya is a representation of the quandary of the entire University system.
However, in sustainably resolving these issues, there are more constructive avenues than merely and completely resorting to boycotting exams, violence and self-destructive harm to one's education.
The general prescriptions for these problems surrounding the entire university system, by various stakeholders, may seem neutral solutions, although it largely capitalizes the economic pros and cons and certain market objectives. For examples, in addressing the unemployability of undergraduates, the prescription is to develop soft skills alongside a curriculum sufficing the needs of the market. This is of course is an important aspect of the entire discourse. However, it is equally important to connect the community to the problem, understanding and analyzing the personal discomforts and experiences of those who face the plight of these conflicts (undergraduates, academic staff, non-academic staff, minor staff and third-party service providers).
Undoubtedly then, tackling the issue of undergraduate youth becomes a complex task. What is important in this case is to understand that wholly market oriented solutions do not serve as a panacea for social problems caused by the radicalized undergraduate youth. Equally, responding to manifestations of the problem rather than the root cause of the issue, only adds more confusion, further meddling an already fragile system. A constructive option that appears to be available to us to tackle the root cause is schooling mediation and peaceful conflict resolution, which is a transformative and formative process of addressing the radicalization of the undergraduate youth of Sri Lanka.
The Value of Mediating Conflicts
The technical term "mediation", is an Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) method enabling the parties at conflict to examine all underlying issues and problems in a given dispute reaching far beyond the 'tip of the iceberg'. According to Saranee Gunathilake, co-founder of UDecideSL, an organization working towards the promotion of mediation practices in Sri Lanka, the 'tip of the ice berg' represents the emotions involved in a dispute and not essentially the whole problem, naturally rendering the traditional approaches to conflict resolution suboptimal in assuring that interests of both parties are served.
In the present context, mediation is being used as a means of resolving various disputes ranging from domestic violence to commercial matters across the globe. Hence, as a viable mechanism of dispute resolution, given its distinctive characteristics, it can also serve as a meaningful alternative in the place of traditional dispute resolution mechanism, amongst communities, such as the Universities.
One key lesson taught by mediation, is the means of resolving conflicts peacefully as well as constructively. In common practice, mediation is managed by a neutral third party intervenient called a mediator. The mediator leads the procedure by managing the process of resolving a conflict, particularly in a way that the disputants are empowered through the process to navigate through the problem and resolve the dispute. In this way, the disputants are in fact the decisive actors designing the outcome and the enforcement of the solution. Since it is forward looking, the solutions aim at evolving the future conduct of the parties, given that mutuality is emphasized in the place of differences. What is important is to espouse these concepts into the conflicts of the radicalized undergraduate youth.
Mediating Youth Radicalization
Here, it is vital to understand conflict as a crisis in human interaction, a view adopted by Dana Costache, a Mediator and the founder of Casa Tianu Mediation in the United States. In terms of Peradeniya, the lack of incentive to mediate the conflict on the part of undergraduate youth as well as the University administration is at the heart of the crisis.
According to Costache, this view on conflict theoretically underlies the concept of "relational mediation". She highlights that "conflict causes people to become relatively weak and self-absorbed, thus diminishing their capacity to make decisions or consider others' perspectives." This is because the conflict is relational in nature (each person's own version of the conflict) and represents a challenge to the quality of the interaction among parties. This can validly explain why student unions act in the way they do and continuously struggle to win over their interests, through violent means such as boycotting something as crucial as exams.
Thus, the fundamental premise of relational understanding of conflicts involves changing the quality of the conflict interaction itself, from destructive to constructive. It believes that human beings are intrinsically capable of both self-determined choice and responsiveness to others, even when confronted with adverse circumstances; and that people have innate needs for advancement of one's self and connection with others. Hence, as Costache notes, the conflict resolution processes that promote empowerment and recognition provide the opportunity for people to restore their capability to make decisions and consider others' perspectives.
The lack of incentive on the part of the undergraduate youth in Peradeniya (more generally, in Sri Lanka), to mediate conflicts and resolve issues sustainably through dialogue, discussion and negotiation is largely debited to the inadequate importance given to mediation and its conceptual significance in school and undergraduate curriculums. Although, praiseworthily non-governmental organizations such as UDecideSL facilitate constructive engagement of young students as well as undergraduates in the subject matter of mediation, through workshops, discussions and driving a dialogue amongst the youth; the government should carry the mammoth of the responsibility in ensuring that the value of mediation is promoted amongst the student population in general. The aim of mediating the radicalized youth starts from, firstly raising awareness of mediation practices in daily conflict resolution between individuals through such initiatives which is also driven by the youth.
In the context of Peradeniya, promoting mediation within the university, understanding conflict and transforming the nature of interaction in conflict is a way forward for the authorities to tackle the issue of cyclical violence. Both the undergraduates and the administration should embrace meditational practices in resolving issues within the university avoiding violence and other extreme measures. This strategy involves schooling of these practices at a macro level, in primary, secondary as well as tertiary educational institutions in order to educate current as well as future undergraduates. This is not only a sustainable solution for the "crisis," but also addresses the root cause of student radicalization, because there is an understanding of constructively resolving conflicts. It leaves space to critically examine the way in which radicalization of the undergraduate youth is conceptualized and facilitates a process of decision making in addressing the issue, which hopefully would not curl up in a cycle of political interests.

I think your proposal in invalid for Sri lanka. The reason which became the background for undergraduates in the USA or in the UK and for Sri lanka is completely for different reasons. You say your views are indepenent. In brief. There are so many reasons why Sri lankan undergraduates are unhappy. It is mostly dumb politics, probably corrupt University management which are highly politicized. Probably the academics read the same old lecture note and they are not updates or those notes have no use in the modern world. I mean the degree is outdated. IF they find they have no futre (there are even engineering graduates in Sri lanka who di dnot find proper employment). So, they are unhappy. It is only the po,litics the best employment even without any education. but for that, every one can not be the Politician's son or daughter.
There is a oversupply of engineers in the world. Even Sri lanka has elelctrical engineering DScs unemployed. So, simply that degree course should be transferred to technical collaeges and I don't know what other degree programs sri lanka have introduced. Even then for mechanical and civil engineering govt wants foreign countries finish the contract and that country send their engineers and they gain overseas experience and Sri lankan engineers omstead become violent, desperate and rebellious. I think that is the most possible case.

I don't think meditation works for students. There should be councilling who question why students are radicalized. Why medical, Science, Agrioculture or Veterinary students are not radicalized. I heard engineering also has a problem that foreign coutries ask these students to be sent to their countries. In the west, University education is also a business for universities to find funds, Post graduate degrees provide cheaper means to find solutions to problems otherwise would need lot of financial resources. I heard foreign countries are saying SEND THOSE PEOPLE TO US, WE GIVE SCHILARSHIPS TOO. sO, THAT NEED MAY BE WORKIN IN INDIRECT WAYS TOO.

Put a price tag on their education, many things will be sorted out by itself. Likewise, privatize some of the state sectors, many issues will be sorted out. The word, "state" is taken for granted, nothing else while it is the ordinary people who contribute to keep these running is forgotten.

Ban all student unions. These freeloaders study at the poor taxpayers expense holding the country to ransom. Best is sign a 10 year repayment bond so that they pay back the money spent on them. Free education is the biggest bane for this country. All we have produced are worse than buffoons like our infamous GMOA.
Jayananda / August 15, 2018
Piyumani,
I agree with you that the current problem reflects the dysfunctional nature of the entire society!
Concept of mediation, conflict resolution does not exist in any level or form in the Sri Lankan society which is corrupt to the core. In other countries even prior to embarking on strikes workers / trade unions have to formally negotiate through an independent body (set up for this purpose) who will act as a mediator and negotiate outcomes that are binding. In Sri Lanka railway workers, teachers or the so called dignified medical doctors can go on strike very unethically causing hardships to the average man.
Lack of open mindedness can be linked to the primary and secondary education where no one is taught a) to respect law b) that all people are equal c) think objectively d) look at options etc. There seems to be a mental block in all Sri Lankans who seem to quickly pounce on a Yes or No answer.
On a different topic as an ex Peradeniya student from the faculty of engineering, I am still amazed why ragging should exist in any form and why there should be even a debate on ragging at all. The fact that ragging still thrives in the universities shows how primitive the thinking of the university students!
Ajay / August 15, 2018
Introducing conflict resolution and mediation studies in secondary and undergraduate levels is a good idea overall. It can equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with conflict situations that are part of life in any modern society. But the question of undergraduate radicalization is, I'm afraid, a different kettle of fish. It is related to and fuelled by wider social, political, economic and cultural processes. It may find expression through campus student politics, but its root causes are usually embedded in wider social justice issues and political struggles. For dispute resolution methods and mediation practices to work, there should be at least a minimum consensus based on core values among the parties in conflict. But this is what is lacking in conflicts involving universities and radicalized students. For such students, the university itself may appear as part of the system that is oppressing them. The approaches to conflict resolution suggested by the writer may at best work to contain and manage conflicts between students and universities over day to day administrative matters. While there are genuine reasons for student radicalization, unfortunately, today in many universities in Sri Lanka, a growing number of students are there not to learn but to work to an agenda. Many of them are professional student-agitators working for various political organizations and they're in no hurry to complete their academic programs. Some of them never complete anything except to cause much disruption and damage to the university community and the general public. I doubt there will ever be a panacea for social problems caused by the radicalized undergraduate youth.

I was an undergraduate 45 years ago the only university of Ceylon/Sri Lanka. Even then we had the same problems. There were strikes but not so widespread, could get the degree, may be couple of months delay. Was able to get a decent job. But now, frequent strikes, couple of years delay to get degree and no jobs. Fault lies within us.
sethindu sankapala / August 15, 2018
All this is good, high table treory.What matters is that the tax payer foots the bill.The given a chance, the government that taxes even the middle class income from interest, who spends billions on the purchase of vehicles, will, within a shot time as the elections are due in 2019, lump another un iversity as a sop to the voter costing the tax payer some more money. the solution, short and sweet is to terminate free education at the GCE (AL) level and charge the University students for their education. The payment can be upfront or in stages – pre paid and post paid system.That will stop this muck. they cannot go on strikes and expect the days lost not to be considered when allowed to sit the exams.In the alternative close all the Universities.There are enough and more educational institutions to provide for the country's requirement.It it is best to get rid of the residential facilities offered. I have been at peradeniya and know the difference.,
Please answer this question. Since the setting up of many Univeriies what benefit had the country gained from the graduates. They seek employment as Glorified clerks – management Assistants of no quality. A Government clerk of the pre 1956 era was an actually educated person.SWRD destroyed that class.with his Sinhala only, created at the behest of another rascal, calling himself a Budhhist priest Henpitagedara Gnanaseeha.
sinhalese buddhist / August 15, 2018
SL university students should be GRATEFUL for the state and all Sri Lankans who end up paying for their free education.
Instead they choose to agitate at the drop of the hat over minor issues – often at the behest of various political parties.
These students should be made to pay for their education. They can fund it by working part-time while attending university, instead of wasting their and others' time with protests that catalyze university closures.
Their parents and other elders should cut them off, and let them figure out a way to feed themselves during these closures, instead of babying them.
GROW UP!!!! University education is a PRIVILEGE. Most people around the world would DIE for the opportunity to attend university. Do not squander your privilege!
K.Pillai / August 15, 2018
One wonders as to what Piyumani Ranasinghe has in mind on "Radicalism".
For example those addressing corruption/nepotism/impunity are radicals. They address social issues.
But those attempting to promote "Team A is less wet from this bane compared to Team B" are political radicals. This is no good.
Of course mediation is a way out. The Mediator must first get the confidence of both parties. In the case of the present Peradeniya stand off, the fundamental question, "Is this attendance requisite necessary?" This can take months to find a compromise!
In the present Lankan atmosphere mediation will be difficult.
Real Revolutionist / August 16, 2018
When things are available free of charge they tend to lose the economic value or the economic value tend to be invisible.
If undergraduates' parents are compelled to pay for their children's education they won't let their children to waste time on useless & baseless strikes, demonstrations etc. & the maximum utilization of available resources will be guaranteed.
Both parents & children will gain a pride that they pay for the service they enjoy during university life & it'll be a good way to minimize the gap between haves & have nots among the student community & unethical ragging will be vanished..
I know the argument arising here; how can poor parents find money.
Make educational loans available with zero interest & make every attempts to make them available in parents names so adequacy of loan amounts can be discussed without student participation.
It's very unfortunate to see that what's expected from undergraduates; especially the intelligence is not shown & that goes to the extent to think whether student selection criteria is appropriate or not.
The brightest students get the best results in O/L examination & almost all of them select mathematics/biology for their A/Ls letting less intelligent to go for commerce & arts studies.
So isn't it wise to decide university entrants on O/L 1st attempt & confirm in 1st & 2nd attempt of A/L s.
If all the students are bright & constructive they themselves can take steps to update their studies without waiting till superiors do it.
Sandun / August 16, 2018
Students get radicalized because they come from impoverish backgrounds. In Sri Lanka you have to fight to get something, unless you have deep pockets or good connections. So for these state uni students strikes and pickets are the only option to make their voice heard. In the process they have become accustomed to the culture of protesting and demanding to get their way. If the government wants to stop the radicalization process then they need to genuinely provide and develop the underdeveloped parts of SL and win the trust of the people. This is why MR is popular because he helped the "poor man" unlike this government which talks about managing the economy but does nothing.
Sandun
Bit amazed to read you
Generally radicals act individually & they may expect solidarity but not in unproductive way like our university kids behave.
Some times people wonder whether government radicalize undergraduates or undergrads radicalize government.
Pls let me propose you to accept the latter.

"Your Name" Review
By Jeremy Wolfe Apr 26, 2017
Recently, I went to go see a movie with a bunch of my friends called "Your Name." To be totally honest, I didn't think much of it going in. I was mostly irritated that we cancelled all of our plans for the night to go see an anime movie and thought it would be a pretty huge waste of my time. I hate to say that I was wrong, so I just won't.
"Your Name," for those who are unaware, is a Japanese film that was released in 2016, but the English dubbed version only came out in the United States last month. In Japan, it was lauded as one of the best animated movies of all time and the reception it has received in the United States has been pretty great as well. I personally felt it was an incredible movie for a number of reasons, but I would hesitate to give it such general, sweeping praise because, believe it or not, it has flaws.
However, I would like to start on a positive note and mention what the film does well. The most incredible thing is the stunning visual tableau full of vibrant, colorful scenery that makes the animated world come alive. You know the old saying, "a picture's worth a thousand words?" Some stills from this movie are worth millions. One thing that stuck out in particular was the multitude of scenes involving a comet in the night sky. The fact that this beautiful comet is passing overhead for a large portion of the film is a large plot point and as ridiculous as it sounds, the animators followed through and made it as dazzling as the characters themselves hype it up to be. If nothing else, I would recommend seeing this film for the visuals alone.
Another great thing about it was the English voice work. The voices they chose for the major characters all sound very pleasing and natural. The translation was done in such a way as to either preserve the wit of the Japanese version by shifting puns to English or simply by keeping the same phrases or jokes but anglicizing the structure and form of the sentence to suit American audiences. Regardless of how they did it, the translation was very well done. I will say, however, that one thing I did not like about the translation was the names. It always sounds a bit awkward having English actors pronouncing names that are not English, and vice-versa. This situation is unavoidable as the film takes place in Japan and features a number of Japanese names and cultural markers, but it is hard to get into the flow of the film from the beginning when the flow of the language is broken by something awkward like a foreign name or word. I would say that's more of an issue with the entire concept of localization, rather than with the film itself, however. It's fairly universal to English dubs of all kinds.
Speaking of the translation, upon looking this up, I found out that the music in the background of the film was re-recorded to have English vocals for the American release, which makes the film, in my opinion, more enjoyable as an American viewer. The music was another excellent element of the film, as it supplements the beautiful visuals and more emotional story segments with a strong, reliable backing. It should say a lot that the English version of the soundtrack was released a few months before the film due to the high demand from fans. In this case as well, I would agree with the consensus that the soundtrack for this film is honestly pretty great.
Now we arrive at the section of the movie that I felt was the weakest: the plot. Don't get me wrong, the plot is definitely passable. But to be honest, I expected better. To give a basic, spoiler-free summary of the plot, it is about a girl in the boonies of Japan and a boy from Tokyo that end up switching bodies a few times a week and the consequences of these switches. It was fairly entertaining, however at a certain point it kind of devolves into nonsense that, while emotionally significant, is a bit hard to ignore in light of the other parts of the film. I understand that there's a certain amount of suspension of disbelief that comes along with animated movies, but this reached a point of absurdity where I just couldn't ignore it. Minor spoiler ahead, there comes a point where one of the main characters engages in literal, but minor, terrorism and nobody says anything about it. All that being said, the emotional resonance was still there even in the points of absurdity, and I suppose that's what a lot of the appeal of the movie is.
When all's said and done, I would definitely recommend seeing "Your Name." It provides a unique, unforgettable experience for a number of reasons. I can tell that it's a film that people will be talking about for years to come. The positives definitely outweigh my problems with "Your Name," enough to the point that I would not mind watching it again.

Passing no urine or passing urine in small quantities from time to time is a serious ailment. There are likely to be many hidden diseases behind this condition. These could range from the ordinary urinary infection to some serious disease. In this post, I will explain how a Hindu Health Mantra, promises to reduce, cure and give relief to those suffering from such a condition, especially those having a chronic problem.
The practitioner has to take some Vibhuti [sacred ash], any Vibhuti from any sacred ritual, temple or the Vibhuti of the Dhoop/Agarbatti of the Puja Place at home will suffice for this Mantra Remedy.
The practitioner has to take the Vibhuti in his right hand and chant the mantra given here once with concentration.
Then he has to place the Vibhuti over his Navel and drop three drops of water on the Vibhuti with his finger. This is all that the practitioner has to do.
The Tantra say that after some time the practitioner will pass a lot of urine smoothly, without any obstruction or discomfort.
This Indian Mantra Remedy may be repeated as and when required.
sir any remedy or mantra to kids, for bed wetting!
Sir, should one lay down on bed while putting vibhuti and water drops on the navel?
Yes, one can lie down and practice this Mantra Remedy.

Five Dermatologic Emergencies Physicians Should Recognize
Marcia Frellick
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — Recognizing the signs of deadly skin emergencies and knowing when to call for a dermatology consult can save lives, said Steven Chen, MD, a dermatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Hospitalists and other physicians might see these conditions only rarely, but they "are the ones that, if you miss the diagnosis, you end up with a lot more morbidity and mortality than necessary," he explained.
Chen, who will speak about dermatologic emergencies at the upcoming Society of Hospital Medicine 2019 Annual Meeting, described the conditions that almost always require a dermatology consult to Medscape Medical News.
"If you hear someone's coming for a transfer for Stevens–Johnson, that's the one that gets your heart racing," said Chen.
Stevens–Johnson Syndrome
Stevens–Johnson after 4 days.
Morbidity and mortality can be quite high. Inpatient admission is a must for management and, depending on severity, admission to the intensive care unit or the burn unit could be required.
Wound care is critical. When Stevens–Johnson syndrome patients die, it is usually from sepsis, which can develop because the skin barrier is gone.
"Essentially, the skin just blisters off and you're left with dermis showing at that point. It's unbelievably painful and most patients stay in the hospital for a week to a month," Chen explained.
And Stevens–Johnson syndrome can be related to long-term sequelae, especially those affecting the mucous membranes.
Essentially, the skin just blisters off and you're left with dermis showing at that point. It's unbelievably painful and most patients stay in the hospital for a week to a month.
"It can cause scarring in the eyes, esophagus, vaginal mucosa, and the urethra, so you have to be really aggressive in the management of these patients," he pointed out. Multidisciplinary management can include ophthalmology, gynecology, and urology.
In adults, Stevens–Johnson syndrome usually develops in reaction to a drug started in the previous 3 weeks.
The combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole has been identified as a suspected trigger in the United States, but other drugs have also been linked to the disorder, said Chen.
The incidence of the syndrome cited in the literature is one in 1 million, but anecdotal evidence suggests that it is becoming more frequent. Chen reported that recently, when he was on the inpatient consult service at Massachusetts General Hospital, his team had four cases.
Dermatologists are currently conducting research to update the prevalence of the syndrome.
Drug Rash With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome
This is a drug reaction that affects one in 100,000 patients.
The patient has a rash, feels ill, has blood work that indicates eosinophilia, and has evidence of end-organ damage, such as elevated liver enzymes, worsening of kidney function, or a leak of cardiac enzymes.
"Most physicians are pretty good at recognizing this but don't realize how deadly it can be," said Chen, who pointed out that the reported mortality rate is about 10%.
"Even though patients may look relatively fine at presentation, they can certainly take a turn for the worse quickly," he explained. "We advocate for these folks to be, if not admitted, observed for at least a day or 2 to make sure everything is okay."
Most physicians are pretty good at recognizing this but don't realize how deadly it can be.
Patients require a relatively high dose of prolonged immunosuppression. Some sequelae, such as certain forms of autoimmune disease that involve the thyroid, require continued monitoring after the acute episode is over.
The diagnosis of DRESS is complicated because it looks like an infection, said Chen. If a clinician doesn't recognize the presentation as a drug reaction because it looks like septic shock, the inclination is to give antibiotics, but what patients really need is an immunosuppressant.
Additionally, because the reaction typically appears 3 to 6 weeks after the trigger drug is taken, physicians might not think to look that far back, he said.
A dermatologist can help make the right diagnosis, Chen said.
Purpura Fulminans
One of the features of purpura fulminans is areas of darkened purplish skin that do not blanch when pressed.
Patients with this disorder have a high likelihood of developing disseminated intravascular coagulation and can quickly develop necrosis.
"If a patient is looking okay with purpura fulminans, they're about to look really bad," Chen warned. "Purpura fulminans is basically disseminated intravascular coagulation in the skin before it goes to the whole body."
A multidisciplinary approach — involving the primary team and dermatology and infectious disease specialists — can get the patient quickly to the right place, he said.
"This is truly where a dermatologist says, 'get them to a unit, call infectious disease, start broad-spectrum antibiotics,' because this person is in for a rough next couple of days to weeks," he explained. "You don't die from the purpura fulminans, you die from the infection afterward."
Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP)
This is a severe, usually drug-related reaction.
Patients with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis are covered with pustules, typically with a reddish plaque and usually within a day or 2 of taking a drug trigger.
It can look a lot like pustular psoriasis, so recognizing it as a drug reaction is important, said Chen.
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis can include systemic involvement or systemic symptoms that can make the patient very sick, and can also involve electrolyte imbalances, he explained.
"Dermatology, when consulted, will monitor carefully so that if something pops up, we can start systemic steroids or systemic immunosuppression," he said.
Pyoderma Gangrenosum
This is a neutrophilic dermatosis; white blood cells are moving to the skin and causing ulcers.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is often confused with infection, even after a biopsy, said Chen, but that mistake can have devastating consequences.
"When patients are labeled incorrectly as having an infection instead of this, they frequently end up going to the operating room for debridement and are started on unnecessary antibiotics," he noted.
However, debridement makes pyoderma gangrenosum worse.
"Through pathergy, if you traumatize the skin, it makes more pyoderma gangrenosum," Chen explained. "We worry about someone who has been admitted and is getting debrided for an infection. Every time, the pathology looks like more infection, so they keep taking tissue."
Pyoderma gangrenosum is actually an inflammatory process that can be stopped with immunosuppression, he said. "If it's caught early enough, you can prevent the ulceration that happens. But if it's caught too late, patients are left with a huge ulcer and are more prone to infection."
Chen has disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Apple on Thursday announced to employees in a company-wide memo that it is expanding workers' benefits, including longer parental leave, an expanded donation matching program, subsidized student loan refinancing, and education reimbursement for all classes.
The new "perks" for both corporate and retail employees were revealed by Apple to Fortune, who spoke with the company's head of public relations, Denise Young Smith. Apple's HR chief revealed that the company's corporate matching program, which has existed since 2011, will be expanded to include all employees in all countries.
Apple also plans to match employees for time spent on philanthropic endeavors, paying up to $25 per hour of non-profit work, capped at $10,000 per employee. Apple currently has 98,000 employees, with most of them hourly and working in retail.
Another change being instituted by Apple is full acceleration of stock benefits in the event of an employee's death, providing assistance to surviving family members.
And under the new parental leave policy, expectant mothers can take off up to four weeks before delivery and 14 weeks after, while expectant fathers and other non-birth parents can take a six-week leave. The changes were announced to employees in a company-wide memo sent out on Thursday.
Smith joined Apple in 1997 and primarily worked on the retail side of the business. She took over all HR responsibilities at the company this February, and as vice president of Worldwide Human Resources, she reports directly to CEO Tim Cook.
Under her leadership, Apple has paid a particular focus to diversity, producing its first-ever diversity report in August. And last month, Apple announced it would give $20,000 in college scholarships as part of an ongoing diversity initiative.

Not everyone likes setting business goals, or even personal goals for that matter. The goal setting process can be challenging because it requires a lot of planning, strategizing and, often, blind faith that things will fall into place once you get started.
In fact, many people turn away from setting traditional goals because the process can be so overwhelming and inflexible. The goods news is that even if traditional goal setting is not right for you, there are alternatives that can help you create a new focus and intention in your business for the coming year. Here are some alternatives to consider.
Can one word change your life and business for the better? Many people say yes. Simplifying by choosing one word to become your theme for the year eliminates the pressure and time required to develop a traditional goal and can be easier to stick with all year long. This tactic helps you avoid falling into "analysis paralysis" that comes from being overwhelmed with a traditional goal setting process. Read more about one-word goal setting.
A vision board is a tool that can help you clarify and focus on what you want to accomplish without being crowded by a lot of words. You can choose imagery to create a board that has meaning for you and helps you stay on track during the year.
Backward goal setting involves starting with a big-picture end goal and working backward to create a weekly or even daily task list that gets you closer to your end goal, little by little. It can be effective because each action is focused on, and directly impacts, the desired end result.
According to Ariane Benefit, Agile SMART goals are based on traditional goals, but they convert a SMART goal from one that is rigid into one that is more flexible, customizable and adjustable. While Agile SMART goals can work for everyone, they are especially well-suited to creative types.
Sprints are a key component in scrums, which are the framework that brings together complex business processes (you can read more about this in the Scrum Guide). A sprint is a period of time, usually a month, that is hyper-focused on completing one activity. This idea can be modified for goal setting by creating a series of short-term sprint goals that you can complete one-by-one.
BHAG stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal, an idea conceptualized in the book, "Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies" by James Collins and Jerry Porras. BHAGs are bigger, bolder and more powerful than traditional goals, and typically take a 10- to 30-year commitment. Instead of creating a structured goal, this method focuses on creating one overarching driving force that you can commit to for the long term.
If you prefer to go the conventional route, you can start with these goal setting tips, formulating SMART goals or by downloading one of these goal setting apps. You can also choose to stick with New Year's resolutions. Remember that goal setting can be a very individual process, and it may take some trial and error to figure out what works best for you. Take your time and explore all of the options available.


The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth outline the amounts of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep that children and youth who are 5-17 years old should get in a 24-hour day. The guidelines are based on the latest research evidence. They were developed by scientific experts from around the world.
The guidelines are based on research involving able-bodied and typically developing youth. More research is needed before guidelines specific to children and youth with a disability are developed. With some additional information, however, the current guidelines can be used to help children and youth with a disability experience the health benefits of limiting sedentary time and getting enough physical activity and sleep.
Think about what aspects of the guidelines and The Ability Toolkit make sense for you and your child or teen. If needed, talk to a health care professional for additional suggestions about what types and amounts of activities are right for your child or teen. A health professional might include a doctor, a physiotherapist, a nurse practitioner, an occupational therapist or a qualified exercise professional.

Q: connection refused: Celery-RabbitMQ I am integrating celery with FastAPI. I am using rabbitmq as a broker with celery. When ever I submit task to celery I get this error: "kombu.exceptions.OperationalError: [Errno 111] Connection refused". I don't understand maybe its due to the connection with rabbitmq but when I start the celery worker, It didn't give any connection error, but at the time of task submission.
Following is my code:
main.py
from fastapi import FastAPI
from scraper import crawl_data
from task import sample_task

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/test")
def test():
    data = sample_task.delay()
    return {'MESSAGE': 'DONE'}

task.py
from celery_config import app
import time

@app.task
def sample_task():
    for i in range(1, 10):
        time.sleep(10)
    print("DONE TASK")

celery_config.py
from celery import Celery

app = Celery('celery_tutorial',
             broker="amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//",
             include=['task'])

docker-compose.yml
version: "3.9"

services:
  main_app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: fastapi.Dockerfile
    command: uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --reload
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3.8-management-alpine
    ports:
      - 15673:15672

#  celery_worker:
#    build:
#      context: .
#      dockerfile: fastapi.Dockerfile
#    command: celery -A celery worker --loglevel=info
#    depends_on:
#      - rabbitmq
#      - main_app

    stdin_open: true

I start the FastAPI server and rabbitmq with docker compose, and celery worker with following command:
celery -A celery_config worker --loglevel=info

A: Assuming your celery_config.py run within the main_app container, the broker's host should be rabbitmq (service name) rather than localhost:
app = Celery('celery_tutorial',
             broker="amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq:5672/vhost",
             include=['task'])

EDIT:
seems like you didn't set the relevant env vars:
  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3.8-management-alpine
    ports:
      - 15673:15672
    environment:
      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST=vhost
      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=guest
      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=guest

make sure you add them, see my answer here.

Q: Map to exterior power gives rise to smooth embedding of Grassmannian in projective space? How do I see that the map$$(x_1, \dots, x_n) \mapsto x_1 \wedge \dots \wedge x_n$$from $V_n(\mathbb{R}^m)$ to the exterior power $\wedge^n(\mathbb{R}^m)$ gives rise to a smooth embedding of $G_n(\mathbb{R}^m)$ in the projective space $$G_1(\wedge^n(\mathbb{R}^m)) \cong \mathbb{P}^{\binom{m}{n} - 1}?$$

A: If $V\subset \bf R^n$ is a $n$ dimensional subspace, if $e_1,...e_n$ and $f_1,...f_n$ are two bases $D.e_1 \wedge e_2....\wedge e_n=  f_1 \wedge f_2....\wedge f_n \not =0$, where $D\in \bf R$ is a determinant of the linear map which send $e_i$ to $f_i$. In particular these multivectors have the same image in the projectif space $P(\wedge ^n(\bf R^m))$. We have a map from the Grassmanian to the projectif space.To check that this map is injective, note that $x\in Vect (e_1,...e_n)$ iff $x\wedge e_1 \wedge e_2....\wedge e_n=0$. For the smoothness, complete the base $e_1,..e_n$ as a base of $\bf R^m$, $e_1,...e_m$ Recall that linear map $\bf R^n\to \bf R^{m-n}$ form a chart around the point $\bf R^n$ as follows : to the linear map $l$ one associate the vector space $c(l)$ generated by $e_i+l(e_i)$. In this chart, the map lift to a map from $L(\bf R^n,\bf R^{m-n})$ to $\wedge ^n\bf R^m$ $l\to (e_1+l(e_1))\wedge (e_2+l(e_2))...\wedge( e_n+l(e_n))$ which is polynomial in the coefficient of $l$ viewed as a matrix.


My feelings on this subject have not changed.
Just when my daughter and I were dreaming about the days when we ate pizza, (somehow those daydreaming moments never include the horror film bathroom scenes) I see this recipe for a plantain pizza crust by Simple and Merry – who, I might add, is a culinary GENIUS.
Who knew that plantains could morph into such goodness as plantain wraps and pizza? This recipe has become our Friday family night tradition and one I hope you will enjoy.
Here's my take on AIP pizza.
[b]NOTE:[/b] If desired, saute the red onion in coconut oil. I prefer it raw.
While the crusts are on the first bake, mix together the ingredients for the glaze.
Pull out the pizza crust(s) and spoon a heavy layer of glaze on top. Next, layer the cooked chicken, bacon and red onion.
Return to oven for the second bake.
Once pizza is hot and edges crispy, remove and top with fresh cilantro.
Hey Jen! This recipe was the reader favorite at the AIP Recipe Roundtable. I'm featuring it this week. Thanks so much for linking up!
Thank you for letting me know Eileen! That's exciting! Thank you for hosting the link up!
Apple butter is just more concentrated than apple sauce. I think you could make it easily the way you make apple sauce but just allow it to thicken more. I've not done this myself, so don't quote me on it. You could probably google a recipe pretty easily. The one I get is unsweetened. I don't know if it's apple season Down Under, but if you could get ahold of a bunch, you could probably make it up and can it fairly easily. Hope that helps!
This was awesome. BBQ isn't my favorite way to have pizza, but this really hit the spot for my comfort food craving because the glaze flavors were so on point!
I hear ya on BBQ not being favorite for pizza. Mine would be tomato sauce or something with goat cheese and spinach, but those days are over. I'm so glad you enjoyed the glaze. I love to use it on country style pork ribs and cook them slowly in the oven.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A telethon hosted by the University of Kentucky Athletics has raised more than $3 million in donations with matching funds to benefit victims of last weekend's deadly tornadoes in western Kentucky.
Proceeds from the "Kentucky United for Tornado Relief" telethon will go to the American Red Cross. Donations had reached $3,031,241 with more coming in as the four-hour telethon concluded Tuesday night at Kentucky's Kroger Field football stadium. The total included $50,000 from Ohio State men's basketball coach Chris Holtman, a Nicholasville, Kentucky, native.
The event, televised by WLEX-TV with assistance from JMI Sports and streamed on the station's and Kentucky athletics' Facebook pages, included Wildcats student athletes and area head coaches volunteering to handle phone calls. Athletic director Mitch Barnhart thanked everyone involved and said in a release that it shows "the special bond that exists throughout the people of the Commonwealth."
Barnhart added, "When you raise more than $3 million in four hours through the hearts of wonderful people who care so deeply about those who are hurting, it's really special."

text: CNN 10 - September 25, 2019 STORY HIGHLIGHTS Fast Moving U.S. Political News; The Workings of the U.N.; Red Haze on An Asian Island; Research Into What Dogs Are Thinking Transcript THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz and you`re watching CNN 10. Ten minutes of news explained. Fast Moving U.S. Political News AZUZ: There are a lot of fast moving political headlines from the United States right now. On Wednesday the White House is expected to release the transcript of a phone call. A conversation between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine. The circumstances surrounding that call and something allegedly discussed on it were the reasons why on Tuesday Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives announced they were moving forward on an impeachment inquiry, an investigation into whether U.S. President Donald Trump committed a crime. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says he did, calling the president`s actions a quote "betrayal of his oath of office". The president called the announcement quote "more breaking news, witch hunt garbage". There`s a lot of info to explain here from the forthcoming transcript of the president`s phone call with Ukraine`s leader to accusations from Democratic leaders about what the president`s actions were after the call. More details were coming in as we put this show together and we`ll have a down the middle report on all of it tomorrow on CNN 10. The Workings of the U.N. AZUZ: While all of that was going on, the White House says the president was working hard on behalf of the U.S. in New York City. That`s where he addressed the United Nations General Assembly yesterday. It`s a gathering of representatives from all 193 countries that are members of the U.N. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s the United Nations, meeting place for most of the world`s countries from the most powerful such as the United States, China and Russia to the smallest and most vulnerable. For 68 years the U.N. has been involved in everything from assisting refugees to negotiating peace among nations. Of all the languages in the world the U.N. uses six to communicate, Al Arabia (ph), Chon When (ph), English, Francais, Ruski (ph) and Espanol. In some combination of those six , the U.N. deliberates on global issues. For judicial matters they look to the International Court of Justice. The Economic and Social Counsel, otherwise known as ECOSOC deals with, you guessed it, the world`s economic social and environmental issues. The Trusteeship Counsel helps countries become self governed and independent why the Secretariat (ph), another part of the U.N. family tackles day to day issues that include keeping the press informed. Where I`m standing is one of the more recognizable places in the U.N., the Security Counsel. It determines threats to international peace and works to solve those problems right here in this chamber, a gift from Norway in 1952. And on top of that, this counsel selects the Secretary General who is then formally appointed by the General Assembly the main representative body of the U.N. The GA, as it`s called, meets from September through December every year but the worlds problems don`t exactly follow the calendar. The U.N. has to operate year around and one of the ways they`re staying current is through social media and you can follow the organization in any of its official languages. (END VIDEO CLIP) 10 Second Trivia AZUZ: 10 Second Trivia. Which of these countries shares part of the island of Borneo with Malaysia? Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, or Thailand. Borneo is divided between three countries, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. Red Haze on An Asian Island AZUZ: It is truly a surreal looking landscape with everything washed in red. Even though this looks like this video might have been recorded on Mars, it`s from part of Indonesia not Borneo but an Indonesian province across the Java Sea from it where haze from forest fires is turning this landscape red. The nation`s government says this can happen when tiny particles of pollution scatter the sunlight during the day and it`s not a good idea to be outside in it as air quality monitors say it can cause serious health problems. One of the people who recorded this video says it stung the eyes and the throat. The smog has spread to nearby Malaysia and Singapore. Indonesian police say most of the fires that triggered this are set by people who are using the slash and burn methods of clearing farmland in the dry summer months. It`s been going on for decades though it`s officially illegal. Research Into What Dogs Are Thinking AZUZ: Here`s a change of pace. If you`ve ever looked at your dog and asked, what are you thinking? There`s a team of scientists at a private university in Georgia who are using magnetic resonance imaging, MRI technology, to try to discover just that. Of course, that involves putting the animals into an MRI machine and that requires a bit of training. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (inaudible) I work with dogs to train them to go into an MRI scanner and try to figure out what makes them tick and what they`re thinking. My name is Gregory Burns (ph). I`m a neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. I`ve grown up with dogs and I`ve lived with dogs pretty much my whole life. One of my favorite dogs had passed away and in the back of my mind I started wondering, did that dog love me in the way that I loved him and that was really the beginning of it. All of these basic things that we`ve begun to sort out in humans, at least in human brains, we want to do with dogs. If dogs can be trained to go into an MRI machine then maybe we could figure out what they`re actually thinking. So we have a dog in the scanner. That`s Katie and she is a veteran of the project. This is probably about the 15th time she`s done this. Just having the idea of, OK, well let`s train dogs to go in the scanner. It wasn`t immediately apparent how you would go about doing that and - - and MRI scanners are not the most pleasant environments. Callie (ph) is the little black terrier who was the first dog to train for the dog project. I built a simulator of an MRI so this is the simulator that I built here in my basement and we started adding in recordings of the scanner noise which is actually quite loud. We just started working with, you know, treats and positive reinforcement to see if we could get her to go in to this thing. That actually proved to be pretty easy and then so what we did we kind of put out word of mouth. You want to join this project? You want to train your dogs for an MRI and, you know, maybe figure out what they`re thinking. The purpose of this is to go through a number of exercise including basic obedience as well as how they react to the obstacles. When we hold the tryouts it lets us weed out the dogs that we don`t think would enjoy doing this. One of the benefits then of having more participants as it gives you statistical power. You can start to average dogs brains together and get a better sense for what`s happening. I started wondering very seriously if we could really finally answer this question do dogs essentially like us just for the social bond not about the food. And what we found was at looking at the rewards system that almost all the dogs had equal responses both to food as well as praise. Even a few dogs liked the praise more. The things that we were finding about the dog`s brain in many ways confirm, I think, what people know in their hearts about how dogs behave and why they behave. The way I think about dogs is in many ways they are the ambassadors to the animal world. They`re not that different from many of the other mammals out there and so I suspect that a lot of what we find in dogs probably holds true for pretty much any mammal. (END VIDEO CLIP) 10 Out of 10 AZUZ: The Ebay description alone is a 10 out of 10. Fifteen ton, two story tall, gasoline powered, car smashing, piloted giant battle robot, it`s used and has dents and dings from robot combat. It costs $2.5 million to build and was listed for only $1 though bidding was at more than $50,000 last night. Now the down sides, it will probably cost $2,500 in gas, repairs and maintenance every time you use it. It needs new treads. Shipping ain`t free and the company that made it is bankrupt so no returns. You`ll need a "machine works" to make sure the machine works. You`ll need some "megabucks" to buy the "megabot" but for robot fans it`s a sight for sore "mechaneyes". It puts the fun in "functional". Can yield "tons" of it, powering up a "hydralyicing" time at least until you have to "repair to shop" because if you "robreak" it, you "robought" it. And service will be limited when it needs it. I`m Carl Azuz and that is CNN 10. END
