British Columbia Law Institute joins over 51 partners in Access to Justice BC's Triple Aim
Published by Kathleen Cunningham on June 12, 2019 June 12, 2019
BY Kathleen Cunningham
On behalf of the staff and board at the BCLI, I am proud to announce that BCLI joins with 51 justice organizations today to sign the Access to Justice Triple Aim, committing to a common goal to improve access to justice in BC and to action to pursue that goal.
The Access to Justice Triple Aim is inspired by the health sector where the idea has been successfully used to promote innovation. Applied to BC's justice system, Access to Justice Triple Aim has one goal with three interrelated elements: improving access to justice at the population (or sub-population) level; improving the experience of people who need access to justice; and improving costs, which includes reducing costs in other sectors because of the benefits of improved access to justice.
"The BC Law Institute and its division, the Canadian Centre for Elder Law, look forward to incorporating the Triple Aim into their law reform activities, which seek to identify and make recommendations to improve British Columbia's laws for the benefit of all British Columbians," said Thomas L. Spraggs, Chair of the Board. "It is a natural fit with our organization's purposes, which are to promote both the clarification and simplification of the law and its adaptation to modern social needs, the improvement of the administration of justice and respect for the rule of law".

It's the last week of August 2018. Battalion players and prospects are getting ready to hit the ice for intrasquad games with many hoping to make the team out of camp. But among those names, there was a notable absence. The teams' second highest scorer from the previous season was nowhere to be found.
Days earlier Luke Burghardt had announced that he would be forced to retire due to an issue with his spinal column.
It was a blow to a team that had retooled itself midway through the 2017-18 season and was hoping to build upon the second half success with a dominant top line featuring two over-age players in Justin Brazeau and Burghardt, along with a 19-year-old Matthew Struthers. Brazeau and Burghardt put up 146 points, and Struthers (acquired mid-season) added 27 points in 30 games. To say the top line was going to be an area of strength going into 2018-19 would be a bit of an understatement.
But sometimes, not everything goes as planned, and the North Bay Battalion was now looking for someone to fill that gap.
Very quietly, that person has become Brad Chenier. And while the return of Luke Burghardt to the North Bay Battalion is an amazing story unto itself; the rise of Chenier into one of the teams most potent offensive weapons is something not many people would say they saw coming.
Hailing from Hanmer, Ontario (just outside of Sudbury) Chenier looked to a fellow Northern Ontarian to keep him company in his training in the off-season; New Liskeard native, and captain of the Battalion, Justin Brazeau.
"He definitely has a lot more skill than people give him credit for," said Brazeau about Chenier.
But did a little extra viewing in the warmer months give Brazeau any indication that Chenier would produce at this rate?
Although he was known more for his physical play than his scoring prowess in his first few years in the Ontario Hockey League, Chenier was the complete player after his draft year, playing 52 games for the Rayside-Balfour Canadians of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. His 72 points, 29 of those goals, and 77 Penalty Minutes were more than enough to qualify him, earning that league's Rookie of the Year award in 2015-16.
"It was pretty cool," Chenier says reminiscing about the award.
Standing in the concourse of the Leon's Centre before Sunday's game against the Kingston Frontenacs, Chenier says a lot of credit for the award went to everyone around him at the time.
"The coaching staff and the players playing with me, they really much put it on my plate for me, always setting me up with nice goals," he said.
It's not often guys can have the whole package at a Junior-A level and transfer all of that to Major Junior. But after spending most of his first season in a traditional checking role, Chenier broke out with 17 goals one year ago, and this year he has surpassed his combined point totals from his first two years.
"We lean a lot on him and he's a 200-foot player," says Wray.
"I think everyone wants to score obviously," says Chenier who also realizes he has the tools to impact other areas of the game.
"If I'm not scoring points, I'm hitting or blocking shots or standing up for my teammates, I just try to do it all. I put my work boots on and try to give the guys energy. Be first on the forecheck, getting pucks and create turnovers. Any mistake for the other team is an opportunity for us," he says.
Opportunity is the key word. There was an opportunity for someone to step up and not just produce for the Battalion, but to lead the Troops.
Chenier was named as an alternate captain before the season, while his gym buddy Brazeau got the "C".
It's remarkable to look at how far Chenier has come. From playing nine games as a call up in 2015-16 to sitting in among the top 30 league scorers with 25 games left to play in the regular season.
Taken in the fourth round of the 2015 draft, Chenier has the potential to return as an overage player next year. He would be the highest North Bay drafted player to finish his OHL tenure with the Battalion since Riley Bruce (chosen 3rd round in 2013).
Chenier has also been on both sides of the Sudbury-North Bay rivalry, playing for the Nickel City Sons and Sudbury Wolves minor programs. It's a rivalry that gets to be renewed on Wednesday when the Troops visit the Wolves.
And how could you expect anything else?
Matthew Sookram is a Canadore College graduate. He has lived and worked in North Bay since 2009 covering different beats; everything from City Council to North Bay Battalion.

My granddaughter has learning difficulties, but her crying fits are wearing us down. The Guardian
By Annalisa Barbieri, June 19, 2015
My granddaughter, who is nine, has some learning difficulties. She did not speak until she was about four. She receives support at school and has speech therapy. She has a very supportive home, with a nanny and a mother who spend time with her, trying to make her environment very positive.
My granddaughter was two when my daughter's marriage ended. Before that, her husband was the main carer. As the only breadwinner, my daughter has had to work hard at her career and now has a high-paid job that involves quite a bit of travelling.
My granddaughter takes very badly to her mother going away overnight, although it is usually me who is there to childmind, and her older brother is also there. In many other ways, too, my granddaughter seems very immature, crying at the slightest setback or imagined hurt. She seems to have no sense that, at nine, she is a bit too old to act in this way. The crying can go on for a long time and she sometimes works herself up into an alarming state. Her mother is always very gentle with her and can often resolve the situation by promises of treats, but it is wearing us all down.
Lack of confidence is, we know, at the bottom of many of her problems, and it is hard to know how to build this up, as she recognises that she is not very able intellectually and it is difficult for her to make friends, although she can be very sweet. She is also good physically, on the trampoline and at gymnastics, although she is always a bit wary of classes.
What is the best course of action to help her come to terms with her situation? The family couldn't be more loving, except perhaps for her father, whom she doesn't see very often. He does love her, but thinks everyone is too soft with her. Is he right? It seems as if everything revolves round the child's crying fits, which is terrible for her as well as the rest of us. How can we achieve a balance and give her a sense of her own worth with independence and self-esteem?
I wasn't able to tell how mild, or otherwise, your granddaughter's learning difficulties are. But, generally, one grows in independence and self-esteem by being allowed to make choices, being allowed to be oneself – whatever that self is – being listened to and being believed in. I sense a family holding its breath and tiptoeing round certain things.
Elisa Reyes-Simpson, a psychotherapist (bpc.org.uk), who specialises in dealing with people with learning difficulties, sensed a "veneer, a cheerful gloss" in your letter, how loving everything seemed but "underneath were lots of difficult things to manage".
I was intrigued that the father was the main carer until the little girl was two (these are formative years), and then wasn't. How was that changeover managed? I also wondered if she was, or has become, a foil for other people's emotions – frustration, anger, disappointment? Sometimes children act out unsaid things within a family.
Reyes-Simpson picked up on the fact that, instead of allowing a bit of room for your granddaughter's emotions and normalising them, she is pacified. "By giving her a treat [to deal with separation, etc], you are making her behaviour much more powerful. Maybe there needs to be a little room for normal, negative feelings."
It's natural to want to shield children from anything less than the happy moments of life, but resilience is built by helping them to manage all emotions – including the negative ones – and giving them the tools to deal with them, bit by bit, not batting them away by denying them. As Reyes-Simpson also points out, "Somewhere along the line, you seem to have equated firmness with not loving."
I've said before that children need to find the backbone in their adults so they can use it themselves, so if you and her mum are loving, but confident she will, in time, pick up on that confidence, too. If, however, you both panic at her emotions and deploy a giant sticking plaster in the form of treats or pacifications, she won't learn how to deal with her emotions – which leads to meltdowns and tantrums. I wonder what guilt your daughter bears that stops her dealing with things more confidently? "If we feel guilty at what we're doing," says Reyes-Simpson, "we feel we have to cover it up."
Reyes-Simpson also wonders if your granddaughter has been properly assessed for these learning difficulties? "An assessment tells you what you can realistically expect with regard to emotional maturity. If you had a clear sense of where she's at, you could set expectations."
In the meantime, Reyes-Simpson recommends calmly acknowledging how your granddaughter might feel when her mother goes away and saying things like, "I know you hate it when Mum goes away, but you can do without Mum for a night."
She also suggests "promoting confidence, not the tantrums. It would give her confidence if she thinks others have confidence in her."
If she cries and gets upset, comfort her, of course, but try saying something like: "I know you're upset now, but Mummy will be back in 24 hours (or whatever). Shall we go and mark it on the calendar?"
Don't say things like, "I'll make it up to you" or promise treats. When your daughter is home, does she make time to spend it one-on-one with your granddaughter? Even for just a few hours? That will also instil confidence.

Blah, blah, blah . . . WACKO!
So you start reading what looks like a typical scientific journal article—lotsa names, unusual terms, not very clear what it's all about and then BAM, right between the eyes. Try it.

We report observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) regarding the frequency of 24 μm excess emission toward sun-like stars. Our unbiased sample is comprised of 309 stars with masses 0.7-2.2 M⊙ and ages from <3>3 Gyr that lack excess emission at wavelengths 8 μm. We identify 30 stars that exhibit clear evidence of excess emission from the observed 24/8μm flux ratio. The implied 24 μm excesses of these candidate debris disk systems range from 13 % (the minimum detectable) to more than 100% compared to the expected photospheric emission. The frequency of systems with evidence for dust debris emitting at 24 μm ranges from 8.5–19 % at ages greater than 300 Myr to greater than 4 % for older stars. The results suggest that many, perhaps most, sun-like stars might form terrestrial planets.
The researchers looked at 309 sun-like stars, grouped them by age, and then used the Spitzer infrared space telescope to look for dust around them. The dust glows in the infrared spectrum from the heat of the local star, and the temperature of the glow is proportional to the distance from the star.
About 10% of the stars in the Milky Way are like our Sun. If just 10% of them have rocky planets, as this study indicates, there may be a billion planets like Earth orbiting stars in our galaxy alone! Lower mass stars can form planetary systems too, of course, and there are a whole lot more of them then stars like ours. So there may be several billion terrestrial planets in the galaxy and there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Universe.

Colored drawing of the internment camp laundry shed created by a young German Jewish internee
Object | Accession Number: 1998.1.9
Pencil sketch created by 10-year-old Manfred Wildmann, depicting Gurs internment camp, where he and his family were held between October 25, 1940 and March 10, 1941. Before the Holocaust, Manfred lived in Philippsburg, Germany, with his parents, Heinrich and Rebecca, his siblings, Laure, Margot, and Hugo, and his maternal grandparents, Moritz and Nanette. On November 10, 1938, during the Kristallnacht pogrom, Heinrich was arrested and imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp for five weeks. On October 22, 1940, German authorities deported the Jews of Philippsburg, including the Wildmann family, to Gurs in unoccupied France, where Nanette died that December. In March 1941, Manfred's family was transferred to Rivesaltes internment camp. Between November 1941 and April 1942, Rebecca secured placements for Laure, Manfred, and Margot in children's homes run by relief organizations in unoccupied France. In the spring of 1942, Heinrich was transferred to a hospital in Perpignan, and Hugo was assigned to a work unit in Barcarés. During the late summer and fall of 1942, Hugo, Rebecca, her brother Sally, and his family were transported to Drancy transit camp and then deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center in German-occupied Poland, where they were all eventually killed. Following his hospital stay, Heinrich was also deported to Birkenau, via Drancy, at the end of 1943. Allied forces liberated France in August 1944. Moritz managed to survive the war in Gurs, while Manfred, Laure, and Margot remained in France until they immigrated to the US in 1947.

Colored-in pencil sketch of an internment camp laundry shed on rectangular, mediumweight tan paper gridded with thin, faint black lines. At the center, a female inmate in a dress is leaning over the side of one of three rectangular sinks, which angle forward on diagonal legs, and have T-shaped handles along the top. The sinks are sheltered by a partially enclosed shed structure with vertical, corrugated panels forming the sides and several simple braces supporting a sloped, corrugated roof. Behind the shed is a long, low building with a gabled roof and a white, circular sign with a red cross on the end. The walls of the building are colored in yellow, have an open window on the left end, and green grass at the base. The foreground is loosely sketched and colored brown and black to represent bare earth. A half-inch wide border surrounds the image, and the artist's signature is penciled in the lower right corner, within the image. There is a small hole near the middle of the left edge, and light staining on the blank back.

Manfred Wildmann (b.1930) was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, to Heinrich (1888-1943) and Rebecca (nee Neuburger, 1895-1942). At age six, Heinrich was sent by his mother to live with his aunt in Philippsburg after his father died. Later, he learned how to be a master printer from his cousin, who owned a printing shop. Rebecca was born to Moritz (1869-1954) and Nanette (née Holz, 1867-1940) Neuburger. Moritz served as the head of the small, assimilated Jewish community in Philippsburg, and was a teacher, cantor, and shochet [ritual slaughterer]. Heinrich fought for Germany during World War I. Heinrich and Rebecca had three other children: Margot (later Heller, 1922-2010), Hugo Max (1924-1944), and Hannelore (Laure or Lorle, later Laura Kolb, 1925-1999). Their family was among the 30 Jews who lived in Philippsburg, observed the Sabbath and holidays, and kept kosher.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, and authorities throughout Germany quickly began suppressing the rights of Jews and boycotting their businesses. Despite this, Manfred and his siblings continued to attend public school and played with their non-Jewish friends. They did not experience any antisemitism until the Kristallnacht pogrom on November 10, 1938. Early that morning, Manfred's grandmother, Nanette, came to the house to announce that the synagogue and her house next door were on fire. The arsonists allowed only her to escape, leaving Moritz trapped inside. Heinrich rushed to the synagogue and rescued Moritz. On the way home, Heinrich was arrested and transported to Dachau concentration camp. Later, Moritz salvaged what was left of the burned Torah scrolls in order to bury them. Heinrich did not return home until the following month, on December 16. After the German invasion of northern and western France in May 1940, Rebecca's brother, Sally (1902-1942), his wife, Vitalia (Vita, née Gluckmann, 1901-1942), and their daughter Miriam (1928-1942), were living in Grenade, in unoccupied southern France, under the new government at Vichy. Sally was part of the prestataires, an organization of foreign workers attached to French army. Heinrich and Rebecca wanted to emigrate, and though they had sponsors in the United States, the family of six was denied entry visas in the summer of 1940.
On October 22, 1940, German authorities in Philippsburg suddenly ordered the Jewish community to pack their things, took them to a regional assembly area in Bruchsal, and forced them onto a train patrolled by German guards. The train travelled south towards France, periodically making stops to pick-up more Jews. Upon arrival in unoccupied France, Manfred's family was transported to Gurs internment camp in the Pyrenées Mountains. Gurs was built in 1939, originally serving as a camp for refugees from the Spanish Civil War. Once World War II began, it was transformed into an internment camp for enemy aliens. Full food rations rarely reached the camp inhabitants. Camp administrators often kept food for themselves or sold it on the black market, which resulted in many inmates dying of starvation. In early December 1940, Manfred's grandmother, Nanette, died from dysentery.
On March 11, 1941, Manfred's family was one of many transferred to Rivesaltes internment camp, an army base at the eastern end of the Pyrenées, near the Mediterranean Sea. The daily food allotment was similar to Gurs, and consisted of watery coffee, vegetable soup, bread, and wine. On September 4, 1941, Sally was able to get Moritz released and took him home to Grenade. Rebecca labored to secure placements for her children in group homes established by several relief organizations. In November, Laure went to work in a home run by the Swiss Red Cross in Pringy. In February 1942, Manfred went to a children's home at The Château de Grammont, just east of Lyons, with a group of 80 boys from the camp. While separated, Manfred regularly exchanged letters with his family members.
By early April, Manfred's father, Heinrich, was so ill that he had to be transferred to the Hôpital St. Louis in Perpignan. On April 20, 1942, Manfred's sister, Margot, was released to a home run by the Jewish Boy Scouts in Beaulieu. That summer, she took a job as a maid with the Valleta family, where she remained in hiding. Around May 20, Manfred's brother, Hugo, was assigned to a work unit nearby in Barcarés, and regularly visited their parents. In early September, Manfred was able to join his sister Laure in Pringy, where he attended public school in the village.
In the summer of 1942, the German and Vichy administrators began arresting Jews in unoccupied France and deporting them along with those from occupied areas via Drancy transit camp to Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center in German-occupied Poland. In late August, Sally and Moritz were sent again to Gurs, where Moritz stayed for the remainder of the war. On August 26, Hugo and Rebecca were deported to Birkenau on convoy 24, and Rebecca was likely killed upon arrival. On September 16, Manfred's cousin, Miriam, and aunt, Vitalia, were deported on convoy 33 and killed. On November 4, Sally was deported on convoy 40, and was killed. In July 1943, Heinrich was visited by Laure and Manfred in Perpignan for two weeks. On December 7, Heinrich was deported to Birkenau on convoy 64 and likely killed upon arrival. Hugo, who had been working as a slave laborer, was transferred to the main camp at Auschwitz on April 1, 1944, and was later killed.
Allied forces landed in Normandy in June 1944, and France was liberated from German occupation in August. In September, Manfred left Pringy to attend high school in Chambon-sur-Lignon, after which he learned how to be an electrician. In spring 1945, Laure moved to Grenoble, and Manfred joined her in June. On June 2, 1947, Margo immigrated to the US aboard the MS Gripsholm. In that same year, Manfred and Laure arrived on October 21, aboard the SS Marine Falcon. The siblings joined relatives in Saint Louis, Missouri, for six months, and then moved to New York City, where Manfred worked part-time while attending New York City College. In 1950, he met Sylvia Birnbaum (b. 1930) while participating in a social club for French speakers. Sylvia and her family were from Leipzig, Germany, and had survived the war in hiding in Belgium. The couple married in January 1954, several weeks after he received his degree in mechanical engineering. Manfred and Sylvia settled in southern California, and had three children. Margot and Laure remained on the east coast. Margot married John Heller. Laure married Herbert Kolb, and changed her name to Laura.

A.I. will serve humans—but only about 1% of them
AI is leaving human needs and democracy behind in its race to accomplish its current profit-generating goals.
It doesn't have to be this way, but for now it is: AI's primary purpose is to maximize profits. For all of the predictions of its benefits to society, right now, that's just window-dressing—a pie-in-the-sky vision of a world we don't actually inhabit. While some like Elon Musk issue dire warnings against finding ourselves beneath the silicon thumbs of robot overlords, the fact is we're already under threat. As long as AI is dedicated to economic goals and not societal concerns, its tunnel vision is a problem. And as so often seems to be the case these days, the benefits will go to the already wealthy and powerful.
Right now, while artificial intelligence is focusing on profit-generation, natural intelligence has proven to be more than up to the task of manipulating it, as if sneaking up behind someone distracted by a shiny object.
We're coming to understand just how adroitly AI can be played as we learn more and more about Russia's manipulation of social media during the 2016 presidential election. Facebook's much-lauded AI was working to "consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible," as Facebook's first president Sean Parker recently put it to Mike Allen. After all, as we've often been told, "You're not the customer—you're the product" meant to draw advertisers to the platform. Cleverly parsing our newsfeeds for clues to our most addictive interests and associations, Facebook's AI somehow completely failed to notice it was being gamed by Russia, as noted in this stunning exchange between Senator Al Franken and Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch:
What neither man explicitly says is that it was not the job of Facebook's AI to do anything but maximize the platform's profits. Democracy? Not Facebook's problem—until it was. Stretch's classic tech-speak/euphemism is that Facebook's algorithms should have had a "broader lens."
This lack of a broader lens is at the root of growing concerns that automation is going to mean the loss of a significant number of jobs. Katherine Dempsey, writing for The Nation, discussed the issue via email with deep-learning expert Yoshua Bengio, and he summed up the end game this way:
"AI will probably exacerbate inequalities, first with job disruptions—a few people will benefit greatly from the wealth created, [while] a large number will suffer because of job loss—and second because wealth created by AI is likely to be concentrated in a few companies and a few countries."
The future currently under construction is frightening if you're not among those few people. Dempsey cites a McKinsey & Company report, 'A Future That Works', describing a time in which fewer actually will. According to that report, 51% of all the work done in the U.S. economy could be automated at a savings for companies—and loss in workers' salaries—of $2.7 trillion. While only about 5% of all occupations could be fully automated, about a third of the work in 60% of them can be taken over by machines.
Dempsey also notes that AI is reinforcing existing biases. Its mistakes may be attributable to the narrowness of programmers' intentions and sensitivities, or not, but the algorithms are just not that smart so far. The New York Times cites Google Photos tagging black people as gorillas, the algorithms in Nikon cameras assuming Asian people are blinking, and a terrifying expose by ProPublica revealing that AI is being used to identify future criminals.
(PROPUBLICA)
A Princeton study found that a "machine-learning program associated female names more than male names with familial attributes such as 'parents' and 'wedding.' Male names had stronger associations with career-related words such as 'professional' and 'salary.'" No surprise then that, as a Carnegie Mellon study found, Google is targeting ads for high-paying jobs primarily at men. Still, as Michael Carl Tschantz of the International Computer Science Institute admits, "We can't look inside the black box that makes the decisions."
And there's the problem at its basic level. As long as AI is primarily dedicated to advancing economic goals, its workings are likely to remain largely proprietary and thus unavailable for scrutiny—that's assuming its creators even know how it works. Our best—and maybe only—defense against this danger to our society is to educate ourselves and our children about AI and machine-learning technology so we aren't treating AI as some sacred form of modern magic whose workings and effects we're forced to unquestioningly accept. Forget robot overlords for now—it's the short-sighted greed of our human ones that should worry us.

Is Bengaluru taking sufficient fire safety precautions?
Deepa Vaishnavi
Inadequate fire safety precautions in Bengaluru's high-rises
Is Bengaluru city taking enough fire safety precautions? Apparently not, and you need to read this
Fire exits are often blocked with cardboard boxes and sometimes they are even locked.
Every year India loses over 25,000 people to fire accidents in the country. As per National Crime Records Bureau data, there were 237 fire deaths in Karnataka in 2013, which is about 6% of the total fire-related deaths in the State.
The judge was angry because Beyond Carlton, an organisation working toward fire safety by those affected by the 2010 Carlton Tower fire in Bengaluru, brought to the notice of the court the poor implementation of fire-safety norms.
Uday Vijayan, President of Beyond Carlton, says, "There is an imbalance between the increase in urbanization and the quality of civic and social infrastructure in India."
The guidelines listed in the notification are quite specific.
Bengaluru is grossly short with respect to infrastructure. The city has only 19 fire stations where as it needs 56. Vijayan, in his letter to the Members of Parliament representing Bengaluru, has chalked out an estimate of the investment that would be needed. "The additional 37 fire stations and physical assets will need Rs 450 crores excluding the routine expenses for maintenance. The operational expenses of all 56 fire stations would be Rs 145 crores per year." he writes in the letter.
He also says that violations of these rules has resulted in old buildings continuing to be potential tinder boxes and the new buildings which come up not caring to invest adequately in fire safety measures.
"80% fire accidents are caused due to short-circuits. Old buildings are more vulnerable to fire accidents as people don't maintain the electrical connections in their houses. Similarly, there is a huge challenge with old Government buildings. None of them will even pass the test. We could give up on the old buildings that fail the fire safety test. But, at some point Beyond Carlton would take up the challenge of making old buildings fire-safe." he told The News Minute. He also adds that
It is up to the citizens to insist on better safety standards.
"There are a fair number of people who don't follow the fire safety which is because of the over-arching Indian attitude toward public safety in the country. A simple example can be, how a person puts on his helmet the moment he sees a cop and removes it as soon as the cop is out of his way," he says, "we cannot have the same attitude towards fire-safety."

India finishes 332 Million vaccinations, 321 Million doses supplied to States
The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Wednesday said India's COVID-19 vaccination coverage has increased to 33.28 crore.
India's cumulative vaccination coverage had crossed 33 crore on Tuesday. A total of 33,28,54,527 vaccine doses have been administered through 44,33,853 sessions, as per the provisional report till 7 a.m. Wednesday while 36,51,983 vaccine doses were administered in the last 24 hours.
India has reported 45,951 new cases in the last 24 hours. Less than 50,000 daily new cases have been reported since three continuous days. This is a result of sustained and collaborative efforts by the Centre and the states/UTs.
India has also been witnessing a continuous fall in the active caseload. The country's active caseload now stands at 5,37,064.
A net decline of 15,595 was witnessed in the last 24 hours and active cases are now only 1.77 per cent of the country's total positive cases.
As more people recover from COVID-19, India's daily recoveries have continued to outnumber Daily New Cases for 48 consecutive days now.
Out of the people infected since the beginning of the pandemic, 2,94,27,330 people have already recovered from COVID-19 and 60,729 patients have recovered in the last 24 hours. This constitutes an overall recovery rate of 96.92 per cent, which is showing a sustained increasing trend.
With substantially ramped up testing capacity across the nation, a total of 19,60,757 tests were conducted in the last 24 hours in the country. Cumulatively, India has conducted over 41.01 crore (41,01,00,044) tests so far.
The testing capacity has been enhanced across the country and a continued decline in weekly case positivity is noticed. Weekly positivity rate is currently at 2.69 per cent while the daily positivity rate stands at 2.34 per cent. It has remained less than 5 per cent for 23 consecutive days now.
The Union government said on Wednesday that more than 32.13 crore (32,13,75,820) vaccine doses have been provided to the states/Union Territories so far, both through the free of cost channel and the direct state procurement category.
Of this, the total consumption, including wastages, is 31,40,75,654 doses, as per the data released by the Union Health Ministry on Wednesday morning.
More than 73 lakh (73,00,166) balance and unutilised vaccine doses are still available with the states/UTs for administration.
Also, over 24,65,980 vaccine doses are in the pipeline and will be received by the states/UTs within the next three days.
The vaccination drive has been ramped up by the availability of more vaccine doses, advance visibility of vaccine availability to states and UTs for enabling better planning by them, and streamlining the vaccine supply chain.
As part of the nationwide vaccination drive, the Centre is supporting the states and the UTs by providing them Covid vaccine doses free of cost.
In the new phase of the universalisation of the vaccination drive, the Centre will procure and supply (free of cost) 75 per cent of the doses being produced by the vaccine manufacturers in the country to the states and UTs.

Its no surprise that more and more couples are thinking outside the box with their wedding planning these days are having their weddings in different locations and venues. Many couples are now choosing not to go down the traditional hotel reception route but instead having a festival wedding or an outdoors wedding or just a wedding in a totally random location or venue. Of course one of the most popular locations to hold festival weddings and the like is where all great festivals are held, yes of course, on a Farm. Farm weddings are hugely popular these days and they are perfect for festival weddings and couples who want their wedding to be something different. Farm weddings and Barn weddings offer so much choice to couples who can decorate and transform the areas or arenas to suit their tastes. They can transform barns into wedding venues and have huge tipi's in fields and create lots of different areas of fun just like a modern day festival. It is also great for couples who maybe live on a farm as they can save huge costs on venue hire which is generally the most expensive part of a wedding. Like wise there is more and more farms offering their services as wedding or event venues and giving them a new avenue of business, this is something we have seen alot of lately. So it has been inevitable that over the past year or two we have been working on tons of farm themed weddings and barn themed weddings as more and more couples choose to get married in these awesome locations.
The farm themed wedding invitations turned out looking magical perfectly creating the scene that the couple had wanted. The couple named their wedding festival HEATON WEDFEST after the grooms surname.
As well as the wedding invitations we also made the couple wedding information cards which gave the wedding guests a full breakdown of all the wedding information including directions, wedding timings, accommodation options, gift list information and much more.
These farm themed wedding invitations were really fun to work on and turned out really cool. If you are planning a Farm Wedding or would like more information on getting some wedding stationery made for your big day please click here to get in touch.

Stress proteins as molecular markers of neurotoxicity
Sunita Rajdev, Frank R Sharp
In response to many environmental and pathophysiologic stressful stimuli, cells undergo a stress response characterized by induction of a variety of proteins, including the heat shock protein family. The inducible heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) is believed to participate in an array of cellular activities, including cytoprotection. Normal brain cells have little detectable hsp70 RNA or protein. However, following a stressful condition hsp70 mRNA and protein are induced in different cell types depending on the severity and the nature of the stimulus. The induction of hsp70 protein correlates with the regional and cellular vulnerability to a particular injury as identified by standard histologic methods. The pattern of hsp70 expression differs in response to various neurotoxic stimuli, including hyperthermia, ischemia, seizures, hemorrhage, and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist administration. Hsp70 expression is a useful marker of cellular injury and may help to identify previously unrecognized areas of vulnerability in the nervous system after a neurotoxic stimulus. Hsp70 may also play a neuroprotective role in the brain.

New homeowners and old homeowners alike have their water tested, and the test results come back and they hear the words "hard water" or "soft water". For about five seconds they are left to wonder, "What the heck does that even mean?".
The Water Store has been conducting water tests in NH and explaining the difference between the two diagnoses for years. We want to break it down for you so it's easier to understand.
Soft water contains sodium as its only ion, and the (mostly) desired outcome within a water test. Though it can have a salty taste, soft water is what is usually found in rainfall before it travels through the earth and picks up the minerals found in hard water.
As water travels through soil, rock, and all layers of the earth, it begins to pick up minerals such as calcium and magnesium, but can also pick up harmful toxins like copper and lead. Hard water is often the cause of scale-y build up in appliances, and leaves clothes looking worn. Depending on the minerals found in hard water (toxic versus not) some prefer the taste of hard water because of the essential minerals within.
If you get water test from The Water Store and find toxic minerals in your hard water, you should consider our water softener or a water softening treatment. This action helps soften your water by taking out those minerals that could be harmful to you and your family.
If you're thinking about water softening or a water test for your home, give our experts a call today at (603) 899-6680.

What should be done to encourage tourism in Uttarakhand after the massive disaster?
Uttarakhand is known as the land of GOD. But that happened in June 2013 was really shocking for the tourists. Uttarakhand economy is totally depends on tourism and every year million of tourists visit Uttarakhand. Disaster was natural but we are also responsible. I don't want to blame anyone for this but disaster severely hit the tourism of Uttarakhand.
What should be done now to encourage tourism?

Breath Of The Wild: The Champions' Ballad Review [Nintendo Switch] – Another Grand Reason To Return To Hyrule
December 23, 2017 January 21, 2018 by Chris Wheatley, posted in Reviews
An Ancient Verse Known as The Champions' Ballad
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has awed and inspired much of the gaming community since its release in March. While the base game itself packs quite the punch of thought inducing shrines, fetch and grab quests, hundreds of collectibles and the freedom to tackle whatever you wish first, it's no wonder the fans craved for more. While the first DLC – The Master Trials – which released in the summer, gave fans a few more additional content pieces and challenges, the second DLC – The Champions' Ballad – provides an all new quests line to the mix as well.
Upon defeating Ganon and taming all four divine beasts, Link will then be summoned to undertake the expansion's series of story quests, The Champions Ballad. Returning back to where everything started, Link is given a new, exclusive questing weapon – the Obliterator, which will aid players into the forthcoming challenges. While the new expansion doesn't add any more map to the massive world of Hyrule, it does however, add to the amount of puzzling shrines to the mix. But first, we set our eyes on this new weapon.
The ultra powerful weapon – The Obliterator – puts Link in the middle of quite a challenging task
A Fierce New Weapon
First off, players must complete a series of four challenges using the ultimately powerful weapon, the Obliterator. While this weapon is extremely strong capable of knocking off almost any opponent in one hit, it also has the same effect on Link. While equipping this mystical weapon, players are susceptible to being knocked off with the slightest single hit, but the only way to continue forward is to use this coveted weapon. The first task seems simple enough – Link must clear out four bandit camps that lay in the Great Plateau region of Hyrule.
If the player for any reason leaves the Great Plateau, the quest will discontinue, returning the Obliterator weapon back to where you acquired it, at the Shrine of Resurrection. While the four camps to clear isn't something that's relatively new to BoTW, using the new unique weapon adds a completely new twist to the strategy. Link's melee choices is restricted to only using the Obliterator, but pulling out his trusty bow and arrow is still a viable option. With the nuisance of falling to one strike, keeping your distance is futile in survival.
To unlock each new shrine, players must first accomplish all-new tasks.
The long DLC quest line of The Champions' Ballad is only starting from there. Once finished with the useful, but dangerous weapon, four brand new challenges open up, which act as the main portion of the DLC. A flurry of new shrines await across the four corners of Hyrule, returning Link back to the four now-tamed Divine Beasts.
Brand New Shrines
As faithful as ever, the accordion playing bard – Kass – once again provides useful information leading up to the whimsical quest line. After a series of discovering new shrine locations by using photos of the locations on the map. Each new shrine delivers trivial challenges exactly as the vast majority of base game shrines did. Granting much more of the same from the open world adventure, the new shrine puzzles are still very much as imaginative as any others in the game, fully utilizing the power of the runes.
A slew of new shrines provide even more puzzle solving using the many different rune skills.
Solving three picture locations, clearing the corresponding shrines and taking on the powerful revived version of the elemental Blight Ganon is the repetitive process of The Champions' Ballad DLC. While the gameplay comes off as rather tedious, the new quest line takes you through a variety of different challenges for revealing each new shrine. The new cut scenes also provide a bit more back story revolving around Princess Zelda, and the five Champions that surround her.
After a long haul of shrine accomplishing and completing new, mostly fun objectives, the DLC closes it out with a brand new style of dungeon. Like the Divine Beasts from the base story, this puzzling labyrinth is by far the most trivial of the Breath of the Wild experience. Following the complicating mechanism of the new dungeon, the DLC finishes with a brutally challenging boss fight, facing off against an all new foe. After conquering what seems like the impossible, the story closes out with a significant sense of accomplishment.
The Champions' Ballad is a perfect ending to one of the year's most memorable titles.
Though The Champions' Ballad DLC primarily adds more of the same freedom to go off and accomplish what you will, when you will – it's still quite refreshing to accomplish more new objectives in Hyrule. Throughout the 5-10 hour-long quest line, players will find themselves back in the same awe-inspiring moments that captured them from the start of Breath of the Wild. And to top it all off, upon slaying the final boss, Link is rewarded with what could only be described as one of the most entertaining experiences in the entire game.

Report: US expanding domestic spying
The US Defense Department is expanding domestic intelligence collection in ways that could allow it to circumvent barriers to military spying on US citizens, the Washington Post reported.
Pentagon intelligence gathering already covers terror threats
Formerly focused on protecting US bases and military operations, Pentagon intelligence collection inside the United States has already expanded to cover broader terrorist threats to the country, the Post said on Sunday.
However, proposed moves to expand the military's domestic intelligence activities in the wake of the attacks of 11 September, 2001, have sparked worries among politicians and civil liberties advocates that such activities could go out of control, the newspaper said.
"We are deputising the military to spy on law-abiding Americans in America. This is a huge leap without even a (congressional) hearing," Senator Ron Wyden told the daily.
According to the Post, the White House is considering expanding a secret Pentagon security agency into one which could investigate a range of domestic crimes, for which the government has used the FBI in the past.
The little-known Counterintelligence Field Activity has a secret budget but is thought to have 1000 people on its staff, the paper said.
A recent high-level presidential commission "urged that CIFA be given authority to carry out domestic criminal investigations and clandestine operations against potential threats inside the United States," the Post said.
CIFA's expansion would build on post-9/11 efforts to break down data-sharing barriers between the domestic intelligence operations of the FBI and its international counterpart, the CIA.
Lack of information-sharing by the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon was a factor in the success of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon in 2001.

After about 800 ft you will come to a fork in the road. The right fork leads to a couple of factory buildings. Take the left fork. Look for a 3 story stone building with "10900-B" and "SMCS" in the top right corner. There is no Micorsoft sign. If you go too far on the left fork you will run into the Austin Board of Realtors and a radiology lab.

One or two comments in recent blogs have made me think about choice, how we make choices and what the consequences are of our choices.
Some would say that we consciously make choices in the full knowledge of their implications long and short term and therefore we must accept the consequences especially the bad ones. To quote a saying that I don't like "You've made your bed so lie on it".
If someone says you've made your bed, now lie on it or you have made your bed and will have to lie on it, they are telling you in an unsympathetic way that you have to accept the unpleasant consequences of your actions or decisions.
I don't agree with this necessarily.
In my experience, I have made choices, which are based on flawed life experiences or situations I find myself in at the time. My choice therefore could be seen as a way of escaping a situation which I don't have the energy to extricate myself from in the way I ideally should.
Given ideal personal circumstances, my choice might have been very different.
I have said on this site that I don't place much importance on hindsight either. I don't mind looking back on past mistakes or choices I've made but I'm not sure I would have done anything differently.
I am sure I'm making the wrong choices even now and will look back in ten years' time and think why on earth did I do that. However, these days I hope my bad choices wouldn't be so self-destructive as ones I made in the past.
The last thing I want to say about choices, particularly bad ones, is that objectively they may look really bad but subjectively the only person they have harmed has been myself. I've made choices which ultimately protected my family but not me. One particular choice I made would seem horrific, stupid, selfish, immoral and cruel to many onlookers but it was a solution at the time which didn't harm anyone except myself although an onlooker would come to a very different conclusion.
I suppose what I am trying to say is that choice is not straightforward and we shouldn't castigate ourselves for what might be seen as disastrous choices or decisions made in the past. We made them for a reason, one that seemed the only choice at the time.

The 9g Tronic Explained
Most people associate Mercedes Benz with innovation and quality. Its luxurious interiors are feature-packed and provide comfort and convenience to drivers and passengers alike. However, performance is what really makes Mercedes Benz stand out. This, in turn, is made possible by the famous g-tronic series of automatic transmissions, notably the 9G tronic and 7G tronic. In particular, the 9G tronic automatic transmission provides a more efficient and smoother drive for its drivers. It's no wonder that Mercedes-Benz has introduced technology that will introduce comfort, efficiency, and performance. In this article, we tell you all you need to know about the 9g tronic automatic transmission.
What is G-Tronic?
G-Tronic refers to a range of automatic transmissions that have a manual mode, and are exclusively installed on SsangYong and Mercedes-Benz cars. The very first G-tronic to ever grace the market was a 4g automatic gearbox released way back in 1981. This has since evolve3d and today there is the 9g tronic transmission that offers superior efficiency and operation. Note that all the G range of gearboxes are developments of Daimler AG. The characteristics of all these gearboxes include reliability, the ability to transmit high torques, and high performance.
What is the 9G-tronic Automatic Transmission?
It is the latest in the g-tronic series of gearboxes, and this automatic transmission is characterized by a more comfortable drive and smoother shifting. The benefits of the nine-gear transmission do not end there. More importantly, this type of gearbox also dramatically improves fuel economy, leading to reduced fuel consumption of about 6.5% on average. The 9G automatic transmission, which is an innovation from Mercedes, is the first automatic transmission in the world that features a hydrodynamic torque converter. Under the transmission, the torque is transmitted using fluid as opposed to a mechanical clutch. The 9G transmission has three driving modes that you can select, and these are Eco, Manual, and Dynamic. This way, drivers can shift their own gears by the use of paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. Although it has nine gears, this transmission system is still compact and lightweight, as it is made from aluminum alloy. The smaller stature of the transmission system also increases fuel efficiency.
How does the Mercedes 9G-TRONIC Transmission work?
An upgrade from the innovative and legendary 7g-tronic, the 9g tronic uses the same drive program, which is based on shifting gears early to keep engine revs low. This provides imperceptible gear transmission that allows for as comfortable a ride as possible. The lower revs, apart from increasing comfort, also mean reduced noise level. Additionally, this 9g tronic is also capable of jumping gears even as you downshift. This means you can get powerful and quick acceleration in no time. containing an extended gear ratio, your car can cruise very fast even with no high engine speed. This way, the performance, efficiency, and comfort are optimized.
The 9G-Tronic Operating Principle
The G tronic series of gearboxes operate on the principle of automatic transmission featuring electronic control and hydraulic torque converter and features a torque converter lockup. At the start, this enabled drivers to choose the uppermost gears. Later, it enabled the implementation of a full manual mode which was found on all the subsequent generations of the automatic transmission.
These transmissions, as a rule, contain several automatic operation modes, for example, Comfort, Eco, and Sport. There are many ways to choose your desired mode, and these include a special switch, button, or selector located on the central console. Switching to a manual mode just requires putting the gear in the "D" position and then nudging it left in the direction of the negative (-) sign. Doing this locks the gear that was presently engaged. To shift up the gears or down, you just need to nudge the selector in the direction of the positive sign (+). To shift the gears manual, you can use paddle shifters but this has to be available in your vehicle.
Typical Service schedules for the 9G Tronic
Since it features a very intricate form of precision engineering, the 9G automatic transmission gearbox has to be constantly maintained for it to work optimally. Not sticking to the recommended maintenance schedule can result in serious problems with the gearbox. This might be expensive to fix in the long run.
The best recommendation for service of the gearbox is at least once in five years or after 75000 miles. A typical service session will see a number of things performed, like changing the oil and gearbox filter. Sometimes, the dealership or the mechanic may recommend performing additional services which may prevent further problems down the road.
Comparing the 9G Tronic and the 7G Tronic Automatic Transmissions
The 7g Tronic is the platform upon which the 9g Tronic was built. However, it has a lot of improvement on the earlier version. The G9 tronic gearbox first debuted on the Mercedes E350 BE in 2013. It contained the most apparent improvements that the 9g tronic packed.
And although the 0-60 mph are 6.6s for 7g and 9g versions, the E 350 Blue Efficiency shows superior fuel consumption to its predecessor. The consumption of the E350 BE is 53.3 mpg which is better than the 51.4 mpg that the 7g model offers. Another area where 9g trounces its predecessor is on carbon dioxide emission. Whereas the older 7g tronic automatic transmission system releases 144g per 100km, the 9g tronic emits just 138g per 100 km.
But the biggest advantage of this latest automatic transmission system has to be in the area of fuel consumption. Driving the E350 BE Mercedes, you save 44.1 mpg, which is better than the 40.1 mpg that the 7g tronic system gives you.
The 9G tronic automatic transmission system has several important advantages. Its most obvious benefits are seen in smoother gear shifts and better fuel consumption. Also, the newer version is kinder to the environment as it emits a lower amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere compared to its predecessor. It improves on the previous version and packs lots of several useful benefits.

Police: Hills man hit pregnant woman with SUV
Mitchell Schmidt
Iowa City police say a Hills man has been charged after allegedly striking a pregnant woman with his vehicle and fleeing the scene.
According to a police complaint, a woman crossing Melrose Avenue near Finkbine Lane was hit by a SUV driven by 56-year-old Ronnie L. West, of Hills, at roughly 4:51 p.m. Thursday.
The woman was crossing the street, having just exited a city transit bus, when West hit her with his Toyota, according to police.
Police say the woman, who is roughly five-months pregnant, suffered injuries to her leg and possible internal injuries.
Witnesses called in West's license plate number and after contacted by police, West admitted to striking the victim and said he knew he should have stopped after the incident, police say.
West has been charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident, a serious misdemeanor. He was booked and later released Monday from the Johnson County Jail.


The Ruffus module is a lightweight way to add support for running computational pipelines.
Computational pipelines are often conceptually quite simple, especially if we breakdown the process into simple stages, or separate tasks.
Each stage or task in a computational pipeline is represented by a python function Each python function can be called in parallel to run multiple jobs.
Ruffus was originally designed for use in bioinformatics to analyse multiple genome data sets.
Ruffus documentation can be found here , with download notes , a tutorial and an in-depth manual .
Computational pipelines, especially for analysing large scientific datasets are in widespread use. However, even a conceptually simple series of steps can be difficult to set up and maintain.
