Q: How to update crontab in heroku I am using whenever gem for cronjobs. To update crontab locally I do
whenever --update-crontab

I want to know how to update cron-tab on heroku.
Another question is that I am using free-tier of heroku.Is paid account needed for that or not?

A: You can't use the crontab on heroku, you have to use something like the Heroku Scheduler.
The reason why you can't use the crontab is that heroku uses an ephemeral file system. So, if you run a command to change the crontab (with heroku run whenever --update-crontab for example), heroku would start a dyno, change its crontab locally, then throw the dyno away. So your changes would not be persistent.
You can use the Heroku Scheduler with a free account, you just need to write your code as rake tasks, then add the corresponding rake commands in the scheduler config page.

Tornadoes are more common in United States than in any other country. The United States receives more than 1,200 tornadoes annually€"four times the amount seen in Europe. Violent tornadoes€"those rated EF4 or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale€"occur more often in the United States than in any other country. Most tornadoes in the United States occur east of the Rocky Mountains. The Great Plains, the Midwest, the Mississippi Valley and the southern United States are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes. They are relatively rare west of the Rockies and are also less frequent in the northeastern states. Tornado Alley is a colloquial term for an area particularly prone to tornadoes. There is no officially defined 'Tornado Alley' – at its broadest this area stretches from North Texas to Canada with its core centered on Oklahoma, Kansas and northern Texas. Another highly significant region – colloquially known as Dixie Alley – is the southern United States and particularly the northern and central parts of Alabama and Mississippi. Florida is one of the most tornado prone states. However, Florida tornadoes only rarely approach the strength of those that occur elsewhere.

Within its more than 6 million residents, Indiana is widely diverse with a varied population. Its climate is comparably mild, with moderate temperatures throughout all four seasons so there is not much weather or geography-based to affect health in the state, however Indiana has its own crosses to bear in terms of healthcare, specifically with obesity.
Obesity is a growing problem in America, one that shows itself especially in the south and the midwest. In Indiana alone, studies suggest that by 2030, more than half of Indiana's population will become obese. The resulting problems are numerous, ranging from heart disease to stroke. Diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, heart attacks, and problems with bone and joint health will run rampant—and for some people they are already serious issues. These health issues will put a heavy strain on the states healthcare infrastructure. The state also has a problem with Lyme disease. Owing to rural, heavily forested areas, many places in Indiana have a serious tick population. Since Lyme disease can present in seemingly common symptoms such as joint pain, some who are infected may not even realize they have a problem.
To assist with general wellness, preventative care and non-emergent healthcare needs, there are more than 80 urgent care centers in Indiana, more than 50% of which are open seven days a week. These centers, generally staffed by physicians, can offer support for obese or overweight patients and treatment for those suffering from Lyme disease or other ailments.
Indiana also boasts dozens of other walk-in clinics including more than 35 retail clinics, which can be found at Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, as well as other large retail centers, throughout the state. These retail clinics are not able to diagnose and treat all the conditions that an urgent care is able to, but they are more than capable with minor injuries and illnesses including cold and flu symptoms, stomach bugs and minor sprains and strains.
There are 565 cities in Indiana with at least 1 urgent care center.
There are 290 neighborhoods in Indiana with at least 1 urgent care center.
There are 470 zip codes in Indiana with at least 1 urgent care center.


Savanna's Missionary Blog | Hola everyone! Roll Tide and God Bless!
Hola everyone! Roll Tide and God Bless!
This is the last email I will send as a full-time representative of Jesus Christ and his true Church. What an incredible journey it's been! I really can't believe it has been a year and a half of service to my Savior. I love this work. I love being a missionary, and I'm really sad to say goodbye. I've been pondering a lot about different things I've learned and experienced during my mission and my sweet companion reminded me of this scripture I found at the beginning of my mission. "So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us." (1 Thess. 2:8) I feel that I have imparted some of my heart and soul to the people of Alabama and the Heart of Dixie will always have a piece of my own heart. Literal blood sweat and tears have been shed and I know God sent me here for a reason.
My testimony has been through fire and disbelief, doubt and questioning, and come out stronger because of it. Every time we get bashed my testimony of what I believe to be true is strengthened because our doctrine makes the most sense! It lines up and just fits without forcing it. I have felt the spirit confirm truth and I know this Gospel is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. I still have lots of questions and probably always will, but I know I'll figure it out or understand it all one day. I love what President Hanks always quotes, "To believe in God is to know all that all the rules will be fair and that there will be wonderful surprises." I truly believe that.
If I typed up my whole testimony we would be here for days, and I'll see you in a few days so for now, I'll just say 'I love you!' Remember that you are a son or daughter of God and remain Steadfast in Christ. Obedience brings the blessings of Heaven and I know this is the true church of Jesus Christ and that as we do our best to LIVE the Gospel we are changed and become purified through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for all the encouragement and prayers. I felt them uplift and strengthen me in the most difficult times of my mission. I have seen MIRACLES on my mission. Many of them in the last few months as I've been able to teach Michaela and Whitney the Gospel and seen first hand how it changes lives. The Spirit has comforted me and led me and I know that Heavenly Father loves me and all of you.
Sorry Y'all!! I have 9 minutes left on the timer for this computer to write.
-Whitney is doing great! She came out to teach with us and is teaching her kids. She KNOWS the church is true and is really excited to help her boyfriend get divorced, get married, then get baptized.
-We asked 18 people to be baptized this week. 10 said "yes I would" if they knew this was true and let us schedule a return appointment!
-President and Sis. Hanks spoke in our sacrament meeting yesterday. I want to be like them.
-We went to the waterfall this morning!
-Yes. I'm going home next week. I love my mission and I don't want to ever leave my beloved Alabama. I'm going to work really hard this week and show Heavenly Father I can enjoy until the very end.
I love y'all. Thank you for the letters and packages and prayers. I have felt them uplift me and help me through the hard times and sustain me throughout my mission.
I just want to share my testimony before I end my mission.
I KNOW the Gospel has been restored and that there are living prophets and apostles on the earth today. I KNOW the Book of Mormon is scripture and a way to know how we should live our lives. I have gotten closer to my Savior through my study and I know any sincere seeker of truth will recognize the validity of the BOM. I know Heavenly Father answers my prayers, thoughts, and desires and he is aware and helping us even in the very details of our lives. His way is not my way but it's always the better way. As I'm learning to rely on Him more and more I see how His great plan really is made for my happiness. That is my testimony. And I bear it with conviction in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
1) THere are TONS of these in front of all the little corner churches in Alabama. My favorite one was from Easter: "It's not about the bunny, it's about the Lamb." I love the South!
3) We went to Noccalula Falls in gadsden this morning as a zone. It was really fun!
Whitney came to our Relief Society activity this week. Michaela came to church. I had an interview with President Hanks. (These are his last until he goes home.) We were given Dr. Pepper two days in a row. AND we found 6 new investigators! It was a week full of little miracles and I've been so blessed. I know the Lord puts us in the path, or puts others in our path, with whom we need to meet and share the Gospel.
As a mission we have been working on testifying more when we first meet people. As with Ann, we have seen that as we testify of the things we teach, the spirit comes and does the converting. People can fight against the facts we give them, but they can't argue against somethings we profess to believe to be true. I challenge y'all to bear your testimony as you speak. It doesn't have to be a big deal, weepy kind of a thing. Follow the spirit and I promise that you will touch someone's heart that is searching for peace and solace this week.
2) Amy had her baby! We went and saw her on Sunday. Her little baby Christian is so cute!
3) We ate red Slurpees.
Hi from the South! I hope you had a great week and have been able to review Gen. Conference. It was truly extraordinary and I love studying and finding new ways to improve based off the inspired talks.
Note: My mom told me to tell y'all that I will be speaking on Mother's Day (May 8) at 11:00 in the Canterbury Church building (6722 W 10400 N, Highland, UT 84003). There will be a Fiesta lunch at 2:00 (after the 3 hour block) at my house. All are welcome! (But I don't really know what she is talking about because I'm pretty sure I'm extending my mission and not going to be home for a while Just kidding, but I wish) She hopes to see you there!
More Importantly….BIG NEWS!! My brother Porter got his mission call to Milan, Italy!!!! He reports to the Provo MTC on August 24. I know he is going to be an incredible missionary and I'm so proud of the good choices he makes so that he can go and serve the Lord. Congrats Porter!!
-We went to visit a less active family and just the youngest daughter, Chloe, was there. She is 13 and her friend was over. Taking advantage of the fact that we had a non-member and a member in the same house, we asked Chloe's friend Linea if should would like to hear about what we believe. We taught her the Restoration and the spirit was so strong there. I was with Hma. Conteh, who was baptized when she was 13. Her testimony really helped both the girls and Linea said she would be baptized if she knew this was true. It was a great experience and helped my testimony that we need to be constantly finding, and the Lord will put people in our path!
-We contacted a man from Nicaragua and went over to teach his family yesterday. I realized that my Spanish capability has deteriorated somewhat and we were having trouble understanding him. I prayed silently for the gift of understanding and Hma. Hubbard and I were able to bear our testimonies in Spanish and help bring the spirit. Although he still disagrees with much of our doctrine about the the Apostasy and Restoration, I know he felt the spirit and his wife was open to reading el Libro de Mormon.
-Whitney is still progressing and we are praying that the file for her divorce can go through quickly so that she can get married and baptized. She loved church yesterday and basically acts like a member. It has been incredible to see how much she has changed in just one month. I know the Gospel and applying the principles taught in the Scriptures truly can change lives.
-We taught a young man named Quedarious yesterday who has been looking for religion and a new start at life. We talked about baptism and he said he hasn't been baptized and would like to be. He is super cool and we're excited to keep teaching him.
It was a great week! I love my mission and I love serving the people here. Thanks for all your prayers and support mis amigos. Que Dios les bendiga!
-We stayed at the Birmingham Sister's apartment the night before District Meeting. They are so fun!
-Hma. Hubbard and I had a lot of energy one night so we wrestled. I accidentally made her hand bleed.
I sure do!! Shout out to my mom and dad, they are amazing people.
Spring has officially sprung and the trees went from brown to green literally overnight. I don't know how they do that but it's quite spectacular. I love Alabama during this time of year and being a missionary here is one of the greatest blessings of my life.
I hope you watched General Conference and were able to receive answers and personal inspiration. I received a lot of much-needed answers to questions I've had, and I also took a stern chastisement from the spirit that I need to be more humble. Don't you love when the Spirit does that? We all have things to work on, but I loved Elder Holland's talk that addressed the need to not be troubled by tomorrow but to look forward with hope and courage that we CAN change.
I also loved Pres. Uchtdorf's talk about being able to be rebuilt and restored by the Savior. The thing we must do is come to Him. I know that as we reach out and do what we can to live His Gospel, he makes the difference in our ability to change, overcome, and press forward with a "steadfastness in Christ." I love that he said that obedience is the means to an end. The end is eternal exaltation and glory with our families and Heavenly Father if we incline our hearts to the Savior and follow Him.
This week we had MLC, Zone Training, and then a special Sister's Training for all the sisters in the mission. It was so great to see most of my past companions and be trained by the wonderful senior sisters in our mission. President Hanks talked about becoming a woman of depth. I think it went along perfectly with what we were encouraged to do during conference. I have felt that as I deepen my relationship with my Heavenly Father and my Savior, I am given new insight and can understand more deeply and clearly the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Our desires to become more like Christ deepen; we become people of substance when we live the Gospel; our lives take on more meaning and depth as we come to understand who we are and what we are meant to do here.
I could go on forever. But the main thing is that I have a testimony that living the GOSPEL literally will change us. It has changed me, and I have seen it change the people I have taught. I love my Savior and I'm so grateful he has restored lost truths and the Priesthood back on the earth. I know the Book of Mormon is God's word.
Have a great week mis amigos!!
-we watched Conference and ate corndogs on Sunday at the Nicolas. They are so sweet!
-I got to see Hma. Mennenga!
-The great Hma. Hubbard. I really love this girl!!
Hola everyone! I hope you all had a splendid Easter Sunday and that you took time to reflect on the Savior and what His Resurrection means to us. I love being in the South because most people here believe and God and Christ and we can talk to them about the Resurrection and show them the awesome new 'Hallelujah' video.
General Conference is this weekend! I have found that when I watch conference with a SPECIFIC question in mind, it's always answered! Not in the way I always expect, but something someone says helps me see the way I need to go to progress in my life. I hope you do that and receive some truly inspired personal revelation this weekend.
Michaela: we had a great discussion with her on Friday. She loved church and told us she knows it is true. The spirit was so strong in our lesson and I'm so grateful I have been able to teach her this far and will be able to continue to teach her. We are soul sisters and I'm pretty sure best friends in the spirit world. She has all the same kind of questions I have and it has been truly amazing to see her grow. We are praying now that she will be able to get married soon and keep the word of wisdom so that she can get baptized.
Whitney: She reads the BOM everyday and she is just super solid. She teaches her boyfriend, when he'll listen, and her kids loved church! We are having a FHE with her and the Bishop's family tonight and I'm sure it will be great. She also has to get married to her boyfriend and then she can get baptized. There are a few things we need to work out with that, but we are praying that a miracle will happen and that she'll be ready to go by April 30th! Prayers are greatly appreciated.
I've been thinking this week about the little choices we make everyday. Sometimes I think, "Does it really even matter if I say my morning prayers?" or "Do I need to have a good personal study EVERY day?" The answer is YES!!! I love what Elder Holland said in a face to face he had with the YSA a few weeks ago. He said, "Whatever the question, the answer is always 'the Gospel of Jesus Christ." I know that is true! I hope that we can all look to the Savior and His Gospel, in the good times and in the bad. I know that if we put our trust in HIM and nothing else, we will find peace in a tumultuous world.
I love y'all my peeps. Have a great week!!
Take a book, leave a book. We couldn't resist!
We had a great southern style Easter dinner.
The easter bunny came! (I love sis. Guase) And I held a rabbit, and a pig.
The Plan of Salvation, oh it is wonderful!!!
That's what they say down here in the south, and since Hermana Hubbard and I are not broken, they're not going to fix it! We get to stay together for six more weeks and I'm so excited to have this last transfer with her. Ok, that's all you will hear from me about going home.
This week was a week a miracles!! Sister Hubbard and I have fasted every Sunday for this whole transfer and this weekend we saw the results of that.
Miracle #1: We had made a goal to reach our goals. 🙂 And we still needed new people to teach and lessons. So we planned on Sat. afternoon and they went out to tract. We went to an apartment complex and everybody was so nice!! We talked to 30 people, taught 7 people about the BOM and they all said we could come back, all in three hours!!!
Miracle #2: We hadn't been able to get a hole of Whitney for a few days and we were getting worried because she had said she was coming to church. It was Sunday morning and we were just fasting and praying for her to come even though we hadn't talked to her since Tues. We got a text from her 5 min. before church started saying she would be a few min. late but she was bringing her kids!!! She came and they loved it and are looking forward to coming next week.
Miracle #3: Michaela had said she was coming to church. So all was going to plan when 15 min. before church she texted us and said "oh no! the keys are epically lost!" But we weren't going to let Satan win, so we went inside the church and asked told the amazing Sis. Bennett that our invest. that was coming to church lost her keys. Without being asked, she said, "Where does she live? Can one of you come with me to show me?" I LOVE THE MEMBERS!!!! So we picked up Michaela and her 4 kids and got them to church! She loved it, especially Relief Society, the lesson was just perfect for her. and me. It was great.
Miracle #4: I guess this is just the whole week combined. Sis. Hubbard and I prayed to be together. Check! We prayed to reach our goals and then went out and did our best. And then we reached them! Check! We prayed and fasted for our investigators to progress and come to church. CHECK!!! We were both so happy yesterday and I know that God answers our prayers. We've been working and trying to do everything in our power and for a while it felt that NOTHING was happening. But I'm learning to trust in the Lord's timing and He knows what is best for His children. Every week won't always be like this, in fact, most weeks aren't. I'm grateful for the normal and sometime the bad, it helps me appreciate the good so much more. I'm so grateful for prayer and I know that when we ask in faith, we shall receive. I also love this poem that talks about what Elder Larsen said in his email this week. Action=power.
We recite that everyday in our mission and I know that if we are determined, if we keep moving forward and if we trust in the Lord, He will bless us and help us accomplish our righteous desires. He is bigger than any stumbling block and I know through the power of the Atonement of Christ we can receive the courage and strength to live the Gospel.
Love y'all! Have a blessed week.
-The sisters in Gardendale, they are awesome!!
-Our last district meeting before the transfer.
-Enjoying the sun. 70 one day, 40 the next. Alabama weather is crazy!

Home/all/Nio Power Swap Station: We witnessed an automatic battery swap in a station!
Nio Power Swap Station: We witnessed an automatic battery swap in a station!
On the sidelines of his test of the Chinese electric SUV Nio ES8, Maxime Fontanier wanted to find out how the battery exchange works in a station opened by the manufacturer in Norway earlier this year.
Already in France in the 1990s
While Better Place launched the battery swap ten years ago with a brilliant flop, the idea had been in the air in France for a long time.
Christian Lucas, former President of Mobil'Eco and engineer for the city of Bordeaux's fleet, confided to me at the time that he had been working on electric stations to run 20 tonne electric trucks in 2 x 8 hours.
In 5 minutes, the 2 lead packs that had become low in energy, each weighing 2,250 kg, were replaced by previously reloaded units. To demonstrate the full usefulness of this technology, one of these trucks, loaded with its 16-ton logistics, covered 951 km in less than a day. It was September 30, 1997.
With 4 equally passionate colleagues, he adapted this transportable infrastructure to a small fleet of 3 Volta light commercial vehicles. Without sequel.
AP Exclusive Review – Nio ES8: the Chinese Tesla Model X
From Better Place to Nios Power Swap Station
Some fifteen years later, Renault joined forces with Better Place to establish a network of battery swapping stations in Israel, with plans to expand to other countries. The French manufacturer's role was mainly to provide a compatible electric car.
The Fluence sedan is part of the ZE family, which also includes the Zoé, the Twizy and some trendy commercial vehicles. Under the name of " Quikdrop ', the system consisted of a robotic arm that retrieved the discharged pack and booted up a full-power battery in its place. The vehicle had to be parked in a specific place on a covered platform. The demonstrator presented in Japan in 2009 took less than 2 minutes to operate.
Broadly speaking, the solution developed by Nio is very similar. However, with one big difference: the brand's Chinese cars position themselves completely autonomously in the power swap station and also come out of it again. As we can see in the video shot by Maxime Fontanier.
Great success in China
If the failure of the Better Place program then convinced many auto professionals and French electromobilists and elsewhere that replacing batteries is a dead end, it is very different in China. The government is encouraging brands of electric cars and trucks to get involved.
The country's taxi drivers prefer a system that saves them a lot of time compared to traditional charging. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is pursuing a pilot project to expand battery replacement across the vast area by 2035.
The challenge is no longer so much to take on the replacement of packs as to harmonize the existing systems. Nio participates in the national plan that envisages the installation of more than 1,000 new dedicated stations. At the end of last year there were already so many, attended by 150,000 vehicles of 200 different models.
Up to 312 trades per day
In May 2018, Nio in Shenzhen, Nanchang, China, inaugurated its first fully automated battery changing station for the ES8, an electric SUV that Maxime Fontanier was just testing in Oslo. At the beginning of 2021, the manufacturer presented its Power Swap Station 2.0.
It's a copy of this new generation of infrastructure that we discovered in Norway. It is the first in the country and therefore in Europe. It was officially commissioned last January near Drammen, about forty kilometers from Oslo.
Of the 14 slots, 13 accept batteries that are full or charging, recovered from previous swaps. The fourteenth is used to hold the pack of compatible electric car coming onto the platform. According to the Chinese manufacturer, with 24/7 opening, up to 312 packs could be exchanged per day and operation. That's a little less than 5 minutes per process.
At the end of June last year, Nio had 1,000 exchange stations in its network, including 250 new ones since the beginning of this 2022. They have recorded more than 10 million cumulative exchanges to date.
20 stations in Norway by the end of 2022
This station visited by our video journalist near Drammen, more precisely in Lier, currently has limited opening hours: 7am to 10pm. In this case it could take up to 195 Nio electric cars per day at the same speed during opening hours.
After the launch phase, which requires the presence of a technician to initiate the loading and control process, the site will be accessible 24/7. " In one to two months, this station should be completely autonomous confirms Maxime Fontanier. Earlier this year, the manufacturer announced the opening of around twenty of these stations in Norway by the end of the year.
The images collected by the man in the cap show that the body of the ES8 is initially lifted. However, all 4 wheels remain on the ground thanks to the long-travel air suspension. About 2 minutes and 40 seconds after the start of the process, the 100 kWh pack of the ES8 is dropped.
The electric SUV returned to a low position and the two flaps of the swap platform closed. Soon after, the machine is raised again and the hatch opens. A special fastening system guarantees the correct fixation of the interchangeable packs. After 4 minutes and 23 seconds, the vehicle is ready to drive again.
After a Tesla Model X
Interviewed by Maxime Fontanier at Lier train station, the couple owned a Tesla Model X for 5 years before being tempted by their Chinese competitor Nio ES8 in October 2021. I love this car! ' dropped the driver. " Already more than 20,000 km on the clock ", and " no problem ' he reported. Criticism of his new machine compared to his previous American SUV? " nobody ! ".
With the amount he received for selling his Model X, he was able to buy a new Nio ES8. However, he decided to rent the battery, encouraged by the brand. This offer called " battery as a service can reduce the bill by around 17.5% or around 20,000 euros for the Norwegian interviewed who opted for the 100 kWh package.
He pays almost 200 euros in rent for this. This amount includes 6 battery changes and 600 kWh charging at the DC Nio quick terminals per month.
Our specialist journalist observed an average range of around 430 km in his test with the 100 kWh battery. The monthly credit of 1,200 kWh (6 changes + 6 top-ups) would result in more than 5,000 km in the combined cycle. That's more than enough for Tomasz and his wife, who plan to cover a maximum of 40,000 km per year with their ES8.
120 kW charging power
The Norwegian electric vehicle manufacturer puts the maximum charging capacity of its Chinese SUV at 120 kW. But with a curve that keeps the high values longer than his old Tesla Model X. In the end even with a higher lead for the American SUV, but over a relatively short period of time." Loading time is similar ' he guessed.

Citi and Saxo; Results of Refco's FXCM stake auction
Citi confirms that it is making a move into retail FX with its plans to launch CitiFX Pro. As reported in last week's column, Saxo Bank will provide the technology and client support for the platform, to be rolled out initially in the US and then to various other locations throughout 2008.
The results of the auction of the 35% stake held in FXCM by Refco have been released. There were six winning bidders, including Long Ridge Equity Partners (and affiliated entities) and Lehman Brothers. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Long Ridge FXCM LP and Long Ridge FXCM Coinvestment LLC will hold 25.1%, while Lehman Brothers will acquire 9.9%. No financial terms were disclosed, but the $60 million cited in this column a few weeks ago is believed to be accurate.
Once the transfer of ownership is completed, FXCM will no longer have any financial connection or business relationship with the Refco estate. The FXCM board will comprise seven directors – five seats will be held by the company's original founders and two will be held by members nominated by the new investors, excluding Lehman Brothers.

Everything You Know About Patient Zero Is Wrong
by ilana_gordon, 7 years ago | 4 min read
Aids Body Health Hiv Science
How a typo made one man the scapegoat for the AIDS epidemic.
As of July 2015, more than 1.2 million people in the United States were living with HIV. That number may seem unspeakably tragic, and of course it is. But when viewed in another light it's miraculous: Before an effective treatment was introduced in the mid 90s, the virus was considered a death sentence. In October, the scientific journal Nature released a new study that used genome sequencing to answer the question of how — and when — AIDS first entered the United States. Genome sequencing has been described as "reading a book one letter at a time to look for any spelling mistakes." It's a painstaking process, but critically important — especially in this case. Nature's study put the final nail in the coffin of one of the most pernicious AIDS myths out there: that of "Patient Zero."
Who was Patient Zero?
Back in the 80s, when scientists were still trying to understand what AIDS was and how it was transmitted, the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) interviewed infected patients, primarily in California. The CDC deduced that the virus was sexually transmitted and they mapped a network of sexual encounters that they thought would help them trace the origins of the disease. The 57th person the CDC catalogued was Gaétan Dugas, a flight attendant for Air Canada. Since Dugas was Canadian, and hence from outside the US, CDC staff referred to him as Patient O, for "Outside." The "O" proved too ambiguous and people both within the CDC and outside of it began mistaking the letter "O" for the number zero. The myth was later canonized by Randy Shilts' 1987 book about the AIDS epidemic, "And The Band Played On."
Gaétan Dugas was wrongly cast as the villain in the AIDS crisis. (Globe and Mail/ Rand Gaynor)
The myth doesn't add up
The new study is not the first attempt to clear Dugas's name. Back in 1988, an epidemiologist named Andrew Moss pointed out that when CDC researchers were creating their network of sexual encounters, they were incorrectly calculating how long it takes for the virus to develop. On average it takes 5–10 years for HIV to transition into the full-blown AIDS syndrome, and the CDC was alleging that several of its patients developed AIDS a mere 11 months after being infected with HIV. The data from Nature's recent study suggests that HIV originated in Africa before traveling to the Caribbean, where it arrived in 1967 or thereabouts. By 1971, it reached the US, where it percolated for a decade before becoming a full-blown crisis. Dugas didn't begin traveling as an Air Canada employee until 1974. Given the timeline, it's not possible for him to have been the first person to bring the virus to America.
Repairing the reputation
As Slate and others have pointed out, we've known for years that Dugas wasn't the one to introduce AIDS to the US. He was a patient, nothing more. His entire involvement in the epidemic can be summed up as a copy error. And Nature's decision to use his name to generate interest in its study feels, well, a little exploitative. Then again, it also feels necessary. Dugas died from AIDS-related kidney failure in 1984. In the years since his death, he's been cast as the villain in the tragedy that we call the AIDS crisis. His reputation has been maligned, again and again. Ultimately it doesn't matter if Dugas was dragged into the study to create interest or not: His family and friends deserve the peace of mind that comes with clearing his name once and for all. Then again, it also feels necessary. Dugas died from AIDS-related kidney failure in 1984. In the years since his death, he's been cast as the villain in the tragedy that we call the AIDS crisis.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if Dugas was dragged into the study to create interest or not: His family and friends deserve the peace of mind that comes with clearing his name once and for all.

The 1960 Montana Grizzlies football team represented the University of Montana in the 1960 NCAA University Division football season as a member of the Skyline Conference. The Grizzlies were led by third-year head coach Ray Jenkins, played their home games at Dornblaser Field, and finished the season with a record of five wins and five losses (5–5, 2–5 Skyline, fifth).

Montana won its two rivalry games, both played at home in Missoula. For the first time in a decade, the Grizzlies defeated Idaho to recapture the Little Brown Stein, then broke a four-game losing streak to Montana State.

(1) I took a stack of CCG cards - mostly locations from Tomb Raider and monsters from Magic: The Gathering - and shuffled them together to form a "dungeon."
(2) I made a simple, level 3 character (Sir Mulligan) to send into the dungeon (attempting to obtain the Vitality Salve).
(3) I saw what happened.
Sir Mulligan entered the first room (an Open Cavern) to find no enemies waiting for him. He did, however, find a mystical grub (that would be a Butod from the Survivor CCG) and ate it to gain +1 to STR for the day. Good start.
Mulligan could continue in any of three directions. He headed north only to hit a Dead End.
Luckily, the room was empty, so there were no hindrances to heading back into the Open Cavern and moving east.
Now, most of the minotaurs in the dungeon have haste, which I decided would give Mulligan disadvantage on initiative rolls. Not the case with Mogis's Chosen, however! Mulligan was able to take care of him with a single action and continue moving east.
...and headed back to the entrance.
Mulligan brought the Salve to his fallen comrade, as instructed. He still has an Elixir and Claw of the Cave Bear to aid him on his next adventure.
This first test was actually pretty fun(!) but ended up being way too easy. I know that the nature of this exercise is going to keep the difficulty variance rather high, though, so it'll take some experimentation to see how common this outcome is.
Also, it didn't occur to me until after the event that maybe a saving throw should be possible for events like the Intervention of Keranos. Whether that should be for PCs only...or for all creatures...I'll have to think about (and welcome any outside thoughts!).
There are definitely some great systems out there. I think card-based gaming has gone a bit overlooked in OSR circles.

AtlasIED SHS Speakers Battle Airport Noise at Military Training Facility
Presentations given to troops at a military training camp near a busy airport are heard loud and clear thanks to SHS speakers installed by integration firm Ford AV.
By KMB Communications
After years of struggling to be heard over noisy airport traffic while presenting course material and training information to hundreds of military service members, officials at a military training camp were ready to rest their vocal cords and incorporate a top-notch presentation system into the 209,000-square-foot facility. They contacted national AV integrator Ford AV for an audio presentation system that could be easily retrofitted into several classroom and lecture halls throughout the campus without compromising the unique architecture of each space. The solution: Strategically Hidden Speakers (SHS) from AtlasIED.
AtlasIED Audio System Promotes Powerful Presentations
"I think of great audio when I think of AtlasIED," says Greg Banks, Ford commercial account manager, of the company's decision to install 12 SHS speakers throughout the campus that serves as home base for several military branches and offers training to approximately 1,400 service members. "In the past, presenters had to resort to yelling to be heard," adds Ford project engineer Daniel Bravo. "It was definitely time for a better approach."
Speaker Design is Kind to Campus Cosmetics
To achieve the coverage necessary to be heard over the noise from the nearby airport, each of five large classrooms and lecture halls would be outfitted with several AtlasIED SHS units connected to 70-volt, 2-channel amplifiers from AtlasIED. Cosmetics played a huge part in the project, as well, notes Bravo. "In addition to providing the sound dispersion necessary to be heard over the noise of the nearby airport, the SHS speakers afforded us the ability to easily fuse the technology with the unique structure of the facility's pitched wooden ceiling."
Constructed of wooden tiles, the angled ceiling was an important architectural feature that needed to be preserved. The small form factor and simple installation method employed by AtlasIED's SHS products enabled Ford to install a robust sound system without disrupting the ceiling cosmetics. "There was no room for error," says Bravo. "If we were to damage a tile, there would be no way to easily replace it."
The Adaptive Dispersion Lens of the SHS measures a mere three inches in diameter, so the Ford installation team was able to drill into the ceiling tiles with a hole saw instead of a jigsaw. This minimized the impact on the wood and ensured a clean, accurate cut. To downplay the visual appearance of the dispersion lens that would protrude a few inches from the ceiling, Ford contacted the AtlasIED DesignLab prior to installation to custom match each speaker's lens and micro trim to the grain of the wooden ceiling surface. The high-resolution printing process employed by the DesignLab rendered speakers that blended seamlessly into the training facility's ceiling surface, yet filled the space evenly with audio via AtlasIED's patented 180-degree dispersion technology.
AtlasIED Amps Hide from Sight, Too
Ford wired the speakers of each classroom and lecture hall to its own local 70-watt, two-channel amplifier, the DPA-102PM, from AtlasIED. Due to the small form factor and unique pole-mounted design of this model, Ford was able to install each amplifier above the ceiling, completely concealed from sight. "There wasn't ample space within the facility to put in a rack room, so the ceiling-mounted amps were ideally suited for this project," Bravo says.
A Perfect Union of Form and Function
Thanks to design and installation ingenuity from Ford and top-notch products that marry form and function from AtlasIED, the military base is able to provide high-quality training to service personnel in an environment that's audibly comfortable and free of distractions. Students are able to clearly hear presentations no matter how noisy nearby air traffic gets, and the eye-pleasing design the AtlasIED Strategically Hidden Speakers and pole-mounted amplifiers raise no visual conflict with the unique architectural features of the facility.

Ok so I took all of the ideas I got, and tried my best to strip out "variables" out of them, like scaling, amount of fire, duration, angle, etc. Wit this I was able to go about laying the ground work for procedurally generated weapons. The following images are not polished, But do show a bit of the direction I am taking. Backers will be able to play the little demo that generated this images as well.
What they will find when they open the EXE up is the bootup logo, a small intro and then it jumps in to the screen as shown below. The bottom 4 buttons switch between directed beam, Energy field, Wave beam and finally particle cannon. The roll button effects the current value of variables shown as meters. Each variation effects the weapons output. It's early on but the results so far are promising.
My thinking on implementation is that you do a "roll", and it generates a random weapon system based on a total value pool that is partially determined by your races stats. Then I would provide the player the ability to manipulate it by moving some of the points around. Also note that not shown are some variables that will be generated based on the overall settings of the weapon, things like Weapon strength, shield and hull damage modifiers and recharge time.
So take a look at the screens and if any thoughts come to mind please share, the last bit of brainstorming really helped me here. And I look forward to see where this goes. If we hit our first stretch goal, then this prototyping can be polished and moved into the game.
I will publish a small separate update with a URL for the little tech demo for our Backers!
TanC, Vincent Beers, and 1 more person like this update.
Aaron good point, in this case speed is fast the projectile travels, and as such really is their to provide some of the effects, a zero speed in a beam creates the phaser effect, where as 50 gives you a Star Wars effect. Maybe if you think it's a good idea, this can be a setting invisible to the player?
Thanks for the sample!! It looks awesome and feels awesome to mess around with it. The one drawback in my mind is that weapon movement speed s randomized in the roll. It makes sense to me that space technology will really only have 1 speed in space, and as such shouldn't be randomized every turn.
thanks and keep up the awesome work. I appreciate all the updates too.

The Hearing Voices Movement: Beyond Critiquing the Status Quo
By Rowena Dean on February 10, 2013 | Leave a comment
By Jacqui Dillon, Originally posted on www.madinamerica.com on January 10, 2013
I am thrilled to have been invited to write about the important and innovative work of the Hearing Voices Movement alongside so many eminent colleagues, critical thinkers and activists working together to bring about an essential revolution in the world of mental health.
We have just celebrated the anniversary of the rapidly expanding global Hearing Voices Movement which was founded more than twenty-five years ago following the ground-breaking research of Professor Marius Romme and Dr Sandra Escher. Romme and Escher have advocated for a radical shift in the way we understand the phenomenon of Hearing Voices; in contrast to traditional, biomedical psychiatry which views voices as an aberrant by-product of genetic, brain and cognitive faults, their research has firmly established that voices make sense when taking into account the traumatic circumstances that frequently provoke them (Romme and Escher, 1989, 2000, 2009, 2011). While 'auditory hallucinations' is the preferred jargon within psychiatric literature, the term 'hearing voices', which uses ordinary, non pathologising language framed subjectively, has been reclaimed. This is part of a wider aim within the mental health user movement to decolonise medicalised language of human experience.
Romme and Escher's research shows that the majority of people who hear voices have had some traumatic experience which they connect with hearing voices. Subsequent research has confirmed their findings and attests to what many of us with first-hand experience of madness have always known – bad things that happen to you can drive you crazy. However, despite the well-established link between hearing voices and traumatic life experiences, the Hearing Voices Movement explicitly accepts all explanations for hearing voices which may include an array of belief systems, including spiritual, religious, paranormal, technological, cultural, counter cultural, philosophical, medical, and so on. As well as this, we welcome people with a range of experiences, including people who see visions or have other unusual perceptions or sensations.
Within the Hearing Voices Network (HVN) in England, which currently has the most well established national network, there are approximately 180 groups currently operating. Groups run mainly in the community but also within statutory and NGO sector services. These include acute psychiatric settings, adolescent services, low, medium and high secure settings. In addition a number of specialist groups for women, people from Black and minority ethnic communities, prisoners, children, young people and parents have also been established. As a respected British consultant psychiatrist recently said,
You clearly represent a movement and constituency that has gone well beyond offering a critique of the status quo and towards representing advocacy and example of alternative approaches which are increasingly being recognised as complimentary or better than traditional approaches. (Roberts, 2013).
HVN creates sanctuary; safe spaces to share taboo experiences, where there are real possibilities for healing and growth. People are free to share and explore their experiences in detail including the content of what their voices say (Beavan and Read 2010), without the threat of censorship, loss of liberty or forced medication, a common feature of disclosure in traditional psychiatric settings.
As well as our group work, we raise awareness of the benefits of talking about voices, visions and other unusual experiences and the value of peer support. We promote this innovative approach to voice hearers, family members and mental health professionals. We regularly provide training to staff, support on-going research into hearing voices and allied subjects, and liaise with the media which has resulted in a number of positive broadcasts and publications about HVN and voice hearing, both nationally and internationally (Adams 2008; Dillon 2010a; Hilpern 2007; Kirsch 2007; Lakhani 2009: Smith 2007).
There are now Hearing Voices networks in 26 countries, across 5 continents: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Palestine, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uganda, USA and Wales. International developments are co-ordinated via INTERVOICE – the International Network for Training, Education and Research into Hearing Voices – an international organisation dedicated to spreading positive and hopeful messages about the experience of hearing voices across the world.
Representatives and members of the international networks meet annually, at the World Hearing Voices Congresses, to promote new developments, innovative practice, translation of materials, and to support activities in burgeoning countries and share a sense of community, solidarity and camaraderie. One of the fundamental strengths of the Hearing Voices Movement, which has led to its extraordinary success, is that it is based on mutually respectful relationships – authentic partnerships between experts by experience and experts by profession, working together to bring about the emancipation of voice hearers.
HVN's starting point is that the crises that people experience are real and that they are happening for a reason which is directly connected to the person's life. We endeavour to support people to make sense of the real events in their lives that may have precipitated their crisis. We show a genuine interest in the range of people's inner, subjective experiences. When people describe experiences that are deemed 'psychotic' we look for the meaning in their madness. Sometimes people use metaphorical or symbolic language to convey their realities and sometimes they are talking literally about things that have happened to them. However crazy someone appears, we believe that they are making a meaningful attempt to survive maddening experiences.
Contrary to traditional approaches, HVN sees voice-hearing as significant, decipherable and intimately connected to a person's life story. Consequently, we encourage and support people to listen to their voices and attest to their reality in order to better understand their meaning. We acknowledge that people are having normal reactions to abnormal stress. Instead of asking people – what is wrong with you? We ask them – what has happened to you? On a daily basis we hear stories of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, the impact of neglect, poverty and alienation, as well as of racism, sexism and classism. Those people, whose experiences do not fit so neatly into a category of trauma as it is currently understood, raise the question of developing our understanding of the huge range of painful and damaging experiences that can be inflicted on and endured by children and adults.
We show respect for the reality of the suffering that people have experienced, and a keen awareness of how this may limit their expression of feelings, ability to think clearly, or capacity to connect. A key part of our role is to magnify the voices of people who are not normally listened to, by promoting the belief that each person has a deep wisdom and expertise about managing and dealing with their own problems. We validate and support people's resilience, creativity, stamina and emotional strengths, even when they themselves doubt the existence of these qualities.
Acknowledgment enables people to develop true insight into their own distress and suffering which leads to an increasing sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. We are interested in people's subjective experiences – including their altered states of consciousness, unusual perceptions, ideas and ways of seeing and experiencing the world. When your own feelings, thoughts, experiences and bodily sensations, begin to make sense to you, insight is a natural consequence. When you understand your own 'symptoms' as meaningful and essential survival strategies, a more respectful and loving acceptance of yourself begins to emerge (Bullimore 2009; Dillon 2010b; Lampshire 2009; Longden 2010; McNamara 2011).
We recognise that recovery is an on-going process with no fixed end point and that each person's recovery is unique. HVN recognises that crises may occur again because recovery is an evolving process, an expansive process not a reductive one which seeks to control and maintain people. We have faith in people's inherent right and capacity to heal, to make mistakes, to learn and to grow. We know that there is much about human experience that we do not understand and we remain humble and curious and open to new ways of seeing the world. We are not interested in complying with social control or in servicing normality.
Instead of being a list of symptoms, with side effects on top, we are people who hear voices and see visions, have unusual thoughts, passionate feelings, intense experiences (Dillon and May 2002).
We celebrate our differences.
For many voice hearers and psychiatric survivors, active participation and social action supports and enhances the recovery process; having a shared survivor mission ( Herman, 1992), and becoming part of a collective voice creating change in the world, both inside and out, is healing, empowering and liberating. This is also true for many mental health workers, who have become increasingly disillusioned with an inadequate biomedical model, disturbed by the collusion demanded of staff in a mental health system driven by fear, control and bureaucracy. For them, becoming part of the Hearing Voices Movement also enables a recovery of meaning, purpose and optimism, a renewal of important values, a rediscovering of a sense of self. For all of us, the possibility of reconnecting to ourselves and each other as unique and equal human beings, is life affirming.

Commonwealth to fight ACT same-sex marriage bill in High Court

Map: ACT
The Federal Government plans to challenge ACT same-sex marriage laws in the High Court when the territory enacts legislation.
The ACT Labor Government expects the law to pass with the support of Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury when the ACT Legislative Assembly sits later this month.
Same-sex marriage is legal in:
New Zealand, 2013
Uruguay, 2013
Denmark, 2012
Argentina, 2010
Portugal, 2010
Iceland, 2010
Sweden, 2009
Norway, 2009
South Africa, 2006
Spain, 2005
Canada, 2005
Belgium, 2003
The Netherlands, 2000
If so, the first same-sex marriages could happen as early as December.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell says it is disappointing that the Federal Government will be challenging the laws.
Mr Corbell presented information on the ACT's same-sex marriage bill at a meeting of Commonwealth, state and territory attorneys-general in Sydney today.
At the meeting, Federal Attorney-General George Brandis confirmed that the Commonwealth will be challenging the bill when it becomes law.
Senator Brandis says he has advice the ACT's Marriage Equality Bill is "invalid by reason of inconsistency" with the Commonwealth Marriage Act.
"Irrespective of anyone's views on the desirability or otherwise of same-sex marriage, it is clearly in Australia's interests that there be nationally consistent marriage laws," Senator Brandis said in a statement.
"At the moment, the Commonwealth Marriage Act provides that consistency. The ACT's proposed law is a threat to that well-established position."
Senator Brandis has asked the ACT Government not to allow any same-sex marriages until after the High Court rules on the ACT bill.
"It would be very distressing to individuals who may enter into a ceremony of marriage under the new ACT law, and to their families, to find that their marriages were invalid," he said.
I'm disappointed but not surprised by [The Commonwealth's] position. This is an important social reform that is not going to go away.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell
But Mr Corbell says he will robustly defend the ACT's right to legislate on same-sex marriage.
"As we know, we expect that there is a majority on the floor of the assembly to pass this important reform and the ACT will be robustly defending the bill when it becomes law and when it becomes the matter of the High Court challenge," he said.
"It is disappointing that the Commonwealth believes they should try to have the ACT law struck down. That is a matter of much regret because this law should be allowed to stand.
"It is capable of concurrent operation with the Commonwealth law."
Mr Corbell says he is disappointed many other states and territories are not attempting to introduce their own same-sex marriage bills.
"It would be fair to say that the Liberal states and territories support the Commonwealth position that the ACT law, in their view, is inconsistent with the Commonwealth law," he said.
"I'm disappointed but not surprised by that position. This is an important social reform that is not going to go away."
If the law is struck down, any same-sex marriages would become null and void, although Mr Corbell said the ACT would recognise those commitments in another way, such as civil unions.
Australians back same-sex marriage: Vote Compass
During the 2013 federal election campaign, Vote Compass data from 1.4 million Australians showed the majority of respondents supported same-sex marriage.
The data found 52 per cent of respondents supported same-sex marriage, while 36 per cent opposed it and 12 per cent were neutral.
Voters who identified themselves as left-leaning overwhelmingly supported same-sex marriage (78 per cent), compared to just 18.6 per cent of right-leaning voters.
In the ACT, 63 per cent of Vote Compass respondents supported same-sex marriage, while 25.6 per cent opposed it and 11.4 per cent were neutral.
Why can states/territories legislate on marriage?
Marriage laws are typically the responsibility of the Commonwealth.
The Federal Government argues it has sole responsibility for marriage laws, but the states and territories dispute that using a loophole.
The states and territories believe because the Commonwealth legislates specifically for marriage between a man and a women, states can then fill the gap and legislate on same-sex marriage because it is not currently covered by the Commonwealth.
A NSW Parliamentary inquiry this year found states and territories had the power to legislate for same-sex marriage.
This issue is what a High Court challenge will seek to answer.

'Spreadsheet towers' populate every major city — and they're becoming a major problem


No entrepreneur can grow his or her business without learning how to negotiate. And not just talk for speaking's sake, but to really make progress with the development of their business.
Top business executives know that negotiating is vital, but it is a skill that has to be developed with time. To ensure you are getting a deal that is beneficial to you and your company, you have to learn how to combine negotiating tactics with psychology, while also remembering your objective.
To assist you in preparing for your next round of negotiations, here are the four high-impact negotiating tactics every entrepreneur needs to master.
The fastest way to become a lousy negotiator is to overlook the importance of listening.
While it is essential that you have some control over the conversation, you don't want to be the one doing all of the talking.
Instead, focus on your strategy and needs, but also take the time to pay full attention to what the other party is saying. Let them speak uninterrupted, and take note of what they say non-verbally.
You aren't going to be able to secure a positive negotiation if you don't know what the other side is wanting. Only through listening will you be able to locate their limitations and the areas in which they are flexible.
Investing in business executive coaching is a fantastic way to hone your listening skills, for example.
That being said, before entering the negotiations, be clear about what you are not in a position to give up. For the talks to be strategic, you have to be clear from the get-go where your limits lie.
Obviously, negotiations most likely require some kind of compromise; however, you can't lose everything, and you certainly don't want to find yourself in a situation where you are giving up what would have made it strategic.
Both sides of the negotiations can walk away, which makes it challenging to know where the perfect point is. However, not all talks are created equal and, in many scenarios, it is better to have no agreement than one that severely hurts your business.
As an entrepreneur, particularly if you are a start-up, it can be challenging to accept this. After all, you want to progress and grow your business so much that you may be willing to settle for almost anything.
But this is not how you do high-impact negotiations, and you will always be better off in the long-run protecting what is near and dear to your company.
One of the most significant issues that entrepreneurs face when doing negotiations is that they get intimidated by larger or more established parties. It works both ways; more prominent firms presume they can intimidate entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs don't always believe that they deserve to be part of the negotiations.
Whatever you do, don't be willing to agree to prices and terms that aren't advantageous to your company. While you always want to be cordial and open to conversations, you also have to recognize your own bottom line and the value your firm has.
While at first, it can be difficult to say (without fear or hesitation), "I am sorry, but that won't work for the company or for me," it is essential to the growth of your business.
And, if you don't explain why it won't work, then you aren't ever going to know if there is a better alternative.
To develop this skill further, consider enrolling in an expert-led training course.
At the conclusion of each conversation, make sure you (or someone from your team) sends a follow-up email that clearly states the positions of each side and the points that were brought up.
Not only does this prove that you were listening intently to the other side, but it also ensures that both parties are on the same page. This allows the two parties to prepare more thoroughly for the next round of talks and reduces the need for anyone to have to re-explain their positions, all of which will lead to a quicker, more productive decision!

Central Mali seeks protection following jihadists deadly attacks
8 Luglio 2020 By Redazione Islamedianalysis
Local officials in central Mali are calling on the government to deploy additional troops to the restive region following several attacks that targeted civilians last week, like reported by voanews.com.
The simultaneous attacks, which killed at least 30 civilians, took place in four villages of the Bankass region last Wednesday, local officials said.
While no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, local officials have blamed jihadists for carrying out the deadly assaults.
"These attacks were conducted by the jihadists," said Allaye Guindo, mayor of Bankass. "They came from Baye, a village on the border between Mali and Burkina Faso, to carry out these attacks in the Bankass municipality."
Guindo told VOA that 33 villagers, including women and children, were killed in the attacks. The victims were all from the Dogon ethnic group, he said.
The mayor added that the attacks have forced hundreds of villagers to leave their homes, fearing that armed groups could launch new attacks.
Increased violence
Deadly clashes between the ethnic Fulani and Dogon communities have increased in recent months.
The United Nations said in a report last month that violence in central Mali has killed about 600 civilians this year.
The conflict in Mali began in 2012 when a separatist uprising in the north was largely taken over by al-Qaida affiliates. Since then, thousands of civilians and military personnel have been killed.
Violence reached central Mali in 2015 when Islamist militant groups moved from north to central Mali.
The U.N. has a peacekeeping mission in the country, while France maintains an ongoing military campaign against the insurgents.
The U.N. Security Council last week renewed the mandate of its peacekeeping mission in Mali, MINUSMA, for one more year. MINUSMA currently has about 15,000 personnel in Mali.
Troops ambushed
Guindo called on the central government in Bamako and its international partners to act quickly to bring an end to the growing violence in the central part of the West African country.
Malian authorities said they have responded to last week's attacks by sending a military unit to the region.
One day after the attacks, Malian soldiers were deployed to Gouari, one of the targeted villages, after receiving information about a new attack, a military spokesman said.
"When (they) arrived at around 8 p.m., the village seemed deserted. There were practically no signs of life," army spokesman Col. Diarran Kone told the Agence France-Presse news agency last week.
"Just at the entrance, the FAMA (Malian Armed Forces) walked into an ambush," he said, adding that "nine (soldiers) died and two were injured, and equipment was also destroyed."
'Multidimensional' conflict
Bakary Sambe, a security expert at the Timbuktu Institute in Dakar, Senegal, calls the crisis in central Mali "multidimensional."
"It would be simplistic to interpret it only through the prism of jihadist-motivated violence," he told VOA. "It would also be simplistic to see it as a simple ethnic issue, since Fulani and Dogon have lived together for centuries."
Sambe said the real problem is the failure of the security governance system that took the risk of countering the insurgency by creating local ethnic-based militias.
Experts believe that deep-rooted conflicts over resources in northern and central Mali have been exploited by extremist and criminal groups to exacerbate the violence.
"The Malian state should first cut off terrorist networks from their local incubators and undertake an inclusive dialogue based on local conflict resolution mechanisms," Sambe asserted.
In an effort to end the conflict, the government of Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita announced in February it had been in talks with the main jihadist groups in Mali.
The Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM), an alliance of several extremist factions, is the main group that is active in parts of Mali. The group has pledged allegiance to al-Qaida.
The talks, however, seem to have reached a stalemate since jihadists insist that France pull out its troops from Mali as a condition to continue the negotiations.
Sambe said a genuine stabilization policy in Mali is needed with the help of the international community.
"It will be necessary to go beyond mere repression and even explore the paths of transitional justice, knowing that the future of this region cannot be built on revenge and reprimands," he said.

The Durutti Column: Another Setting (Factory Benelux)
By Joseph Kyle • October 6, 2015
The Durutti Column
Another Setting
Factory Benelux
Vini Reilly had been a busy man. Having released a slew of singles and two non-Factory albums (a live recording and Amigos en Portugal, an album with its own unique backstory), Another Setting was the fifth Durutti Column album in three years, and it found him refining his sound even further into its own unclassifiable genre. Tony Wilson had extolled the notion that Reilly was a guitar genius, and while LC certainly was a masterful work of art, it was with Another Setting that the hyperbole was proving to be not so hyperbolic. Surprisingly, this gorgeous album has only been reissued once, so this is a welcome offering.
The biggest refinement here is Reilly's singing. Always an acquired taste, by this album he's learning how to utilize his limitations in relation to his compositional style, and in so doing gives the listener more compelling, complex songs. On "Smile In The Crowd" and "Spent Time," his pensive voice blends nicely with the murky, dark atmospherics, and the results are sublime. It's especially moving on "The Beggar," which is enhanced by the sorrowful trumpet played by former A Certain Ratio's Simon Topping.
As always, though, it's the guitar playing that attracts people to Durutti Column records, and Another Setting is never short of beautiful music. Reilly's playing is an odd, unique fusion of jazz, classical guitar, and post-punk. Reilly is a masterful soundscape composer, and the gentle playing on numbers like "Prayer," "Francesca," and "Bordeaux" is nothing short of heavenly. It's easy to understand why God might have said "It's good music to chill out to."
Unlike the recent reissue of LC, the bonus tracks found here are scant and several have been compiled elsewhere, but that's okay; Another Setting doesn't need them. There is one genuine rarity, though, that's never seen CD reissue until now. Dedications To Japan was a special limited edition single released in that country as a thank-you for his recent tour. "Love Fading" would be re-recorded and expanded the following year as "Silence" for the Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say EP, and while the gorgeous little melody about his feelings on the beauty of Japan.
Another Setting is confirmation that Reilly was and is one of the best musicians to come out of the Manchester post-punk scene. This welcome reissue is a nice addition to the recent series in Factory Records reissues, and is an essential album for fans and newcomers alike.
