Q: Frame bg color not being displayed in tkinter window I'm trying to display a frame with color #231303 on a tkinter window. The contents of the frame(some progress bars) are being displayed, no problem, but the color of the frame is not being displayed.
The link shows how the relevant part of the window looks.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VHYW0t9UhjMUeNbwFijkrIy6RiToN0BN/view?usp=sharing
As you can see, the frame color is not being displayed and it is not completely filling the width screen like I want it to either. There are no errors so I'm completely blank. I looked around for an explanation but could not find any.
These are the relevant parts of my code
'''
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Game")
root.geometry("1280x720")
root["bg"] = "gray"
style = Style()

'''
'''
def qn_func(self,qn_num,iteration) :
        Game.clear(self)
        global bar1,bar2,bar3,bar4
        style.configure("var.TFrame",bg="#231303")
        frame = Frame(root,height=120,width=1280,style="var.TFrame")
        frame.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky=W+E+N)

'''
Here, bar1,bar2,bar3 and bar4 are the progress bars I display within the frame. I am actually very new to tkinter so please try to keep it simple. I also tried to display just the frame and its contents in a test file and this time, the color was displayed but the problem with the frame width still existed.
Does anyone know why this is happening? It would be a great help if anyone could tell me why this is happening. I am also using tkinter.ttk in my code.

A: Maybe you would like to consider a more solid implementation of OOP.
#don't pollute your namespace
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict

#create a "struct" to default to that represents ALL options for the widget

    relief:      str = 'flat'

#prepare your data
HeaderFrame = asdict(Frame_dc(*['#231303']*4)) #overwrite the first 4 vars with your custom color
ErrorFrame  = asdict(Frame_dc(*['red']*4))

#wrap all your styles in a custom theme
class CustomTheme(ttk.Style):
    def __init__(self, basetheme='clam'):
        ttk.Style.__init__(self)

        #slim example
        self.theme_create('custom', basetheme, {
            'custom.TFrame': {

            'error.TFrame': {
                'configure': ErrorFrame,
            },
            #add more custom styles here
            #see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html#tkinter.ttk.Style.theme_create
        })
        self.theme_use('custom')

#extend your root
class App(tk.Tk):
    #define application constants
    WIDTH  = 1280
    HEIGHT = 720
    TITLE  = 'Game'

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self, **kwargs) #be more specific than "super()"
        CustomTheme()

        self.configure(bg="gray")

        #name things what they are
        self.header = ttk.Frame(self, height=120, style="custom.TFrame")
        self.header.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='wen')

        #make `self.frame` fill width ~
        #technically this is making the entire column fill the width
        #but only because there is no other column with weight to disperse
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

#properly initialize your app
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = App()
    app.title(App.TITLE)
    app.geometry(f'{App.WIDTH}x{App.HEIGHT}')
    app.mainloop()

aside:
Stay away from global. I can't think of a single language where global is a good thing, and I know a lot of languages. A good design pattern implements encapsulation. global is the antithesis of encapsulation. global could also be considered a forced dependency, depending on the context. Then you have the whole problem that: if I was going to hack your game you just left all the guts wide open for me to play with. If you have a good design you could possibly never use global for the entire rest of your life, without making a single sacrifice in functionality and access.


The Office of Thrift Supervision is hosting a conference to examine potential solutions to the nation's housing crisis. The OTS's Third Annual National Housing Forum is scheduled for Dec. 8 at the National Press Club in Washington.
The conference will feature experts in housing and mortgage finance issues. Several speakers and panels will focus on residential mortgage lending, federal financial regulation, mortgage banking and the securities market.
More information is available at www.ots.treas.gov.
Profits at insured banks and savings institutions tumbled 87% from year-earlier levels in the second quarter of 2008, the FDIC reported in its Quarterly Banking Profile. Industry income was $5 billion, compared with $36.8 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Behind the earnings drop were ballooning loan-loss provisions and a continuing rise in noncurrent loans.
Loan-loss provisions totaled $50.2 billion, more than quadruple the $11.4 billion the industry logged in the prioryear period. Institutions with more than $1 billion in assets saw a drop in return on assets to 0.10% from 1.23% a year earlier; smaller institutions' ROA dropped to 0.57% from 1.10%.
The rate of all loans and leases that were noncurrent (90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status) rose for a ninth consecutive quarter to more than 2%, the highest level since the third quarter of 1993.
To read the Quarterly Banking Profile, go to www.fdic.gov.
The nation's thrifts posted $5.4 billion in losses in the second quarter of 2008, the second-worst quarter on record after $8.8 billion in losses in the fourth quarter of 2007, the OTS said. Institutions set aside $14 billion in loan-loss provisions, the highest total on record, bringing total reserves set aside in the past four quarters to $30 billion. The number of problem thrifts increased to 17, from 12 in the previous quarter.
More details on thrifts' finances are available at www.ots.treas.gov.

How To Win Your Love
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Yesterday, when I saw you walk my way
You smiled at me,
You almost took my breath away
And now I know,
How I feel,
That this emptiness had healed
So tell me, how to win your love
Cause you're the one I'm dreaming of
Will the moment wait for me
Will I ever make you see
I can hear,
The sound of silence when you're near
mmmmmmm, Have no fear,
Cause I will dry your every tear
If you want me, if you want me
And if you need me
And if the moment ever comes
When you're lost and all alone
You will find me there, find me there, find me there
You're the only one, you are the only one,
You're the one I'm dreaming of, oh baby

State Population
Graph Tables-United States (184 KB)
According to the Census Bureau, the population of United States in 2012 was 313,914,040 residents.
Between 2000 (population 281,421,906) and 2012, the state's average annual population change was 2,732,363 residents. That was an annual average change of 0.9 percent. The comparable national annual rate of change was 0.9 percent.
Between 1990 (population 248,709,875) and 2000, the state's annual average population change was 3,271,203 residents. The annual average rate of change was 1.2 percent compared to the national rate of change of 1.2 percent.
According to the Census Bureau the foreign-born population of United States was about 40,377,860 persons in 2011. This estimate meant a foreign-born population share of 13.0 percent. The chart above shows the long-term change in the state's foreign-born population based on Census Bureau data.
Foreign-Born Change
Between 2000 and 2011 the Census Bureau estimate indicates an average annual rate of change in the foreign-born population of about 823,997 people, compared to the state's annual average population change of about 2,732,363 people. That is a 30.7 percent share of the state's population change (not including the children born in the United States to illegal aliens). The foreign-born population grew by 28.6 percent between 2000 and 2010.
Immigration also contributes to population growth through the U.S.-born children of immigrants. Nationally the share of births to the foreign-born is about double their share of the population. A 25.9 percent share of the state's current births is large enough to account for about 831,007 births a year. Combining the average increase in the foreign-born population and estimated immigrant births suggests that immigration may account for about 1,655,005 persons added to the state's population annually, i.e., nearly 61.7 percent of the state's overall population increase.
As of 2011 about 35.7 percent of United States's foreign-born population had arrived in the state since 2000. This compares with the national average 35.7 percent. In 2000, 42.4 percent of the state's foreign-born population that had arrived since the previous Census.
Foreign-Born Characteristics
An indicator of the change in United States's immigrant population may be seen in data on the share of the population over five years of age that speaks a language other than English at home. Between 2000 and 2010, the share of non-English speakers changed from 17.9 percent to 20.6 percent. In 2000, 45.4 percent of those persons in also said they spoke English less than very well. In the 2010 estimate, the share was 42.4 percent that spoke English less than very well. In 2010 Spanish speakers were 62.1 percent of those who spoke other than English at home, and 65.5 percent of those who spoke English less than very well.
The chart above shows the regional composition of the state's foreign-born population and how it has changed from between 2000 and 2010.
Census Bureau data in 2011 indicate that 18,142,197 residents of United States, or 44.9 percent of the foreign-born population in United States, were naturalized U.S. citizens, compared to 12,542,626 residents, or 40.3 percent, in 2000.
Nationally, 40.3 percent of the foreign-born population was naturalized in 2000, and 44.9 percent in 2011.
Net International Migration (NIM)
Data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the Census Bureau estimated that between 2000 and 2011, the change in United States's population resulting from net international migration has been about 715,433 people. It was 31.4 percent of total change (not including the children born to the immigrants after their arrival in the United States). 1 The remainder was due to net domestic migration and natural change (births minus deaths).
A negative percentage results when there was an overall population decrease. A percentage greater than 100 percent results when domestic migration is negative, i.e, a net loss from interstate migration.
Immigrant Admissions
Recent "green card" recipients who intend to reside in United States were 200.6 percent above admissions just after adoption of the current immigration system in 1965. During the 1965 to 1969 period, annual admissions averaged about 348,534 persons. During the most recent five years, annual admissions averaged about 1,079,005 persons. Immigrant admissions data are from the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics.
The chart above shows recent immigrant admissions and the cumulative amount of immigrant admissions since FY'65. The cumulative total of immigrant admissions to United States between fiscal years 1965 and 2011 has been 35,026,938 persons.
The data for fiscal years 1989-91 were artificially raised by the inclusion of former illegal aliens who were amnestied in 1986. According to INS data (1991) the number of amnesty applicants from United States was 3,018,691 (1,754,882 pre-1982 residents and 1,263,809 agricultural workers). These data were published by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and reported in "Report on the Legalized Alien Population," March 1992.
Admissions by Nationality: FY'96 - FY'05
The table below furnishes INS data by nationality on the immigrants who were admitted for residence in United States between 1996 and 2005.
The INS data are for nationals of the countries with the largest number of immigrants admitted or adjusted to legal residence each year since 1996. The absence of data means that the total number of admissions to the United States by nationals of that country was not enough to merit detailed reporting in that year.
The Department of Homeland Security website has detailed data on immigrant admissions since FY'03 by year and by source country and intended state of residence. (See http://www.dhs.gov/files/statistics/publications/yearbook.shtm) then select the desired year, click Legal Permanent Residents, data and then select "supplemental table 1."
United States has received 808,063 refugees over the most recent ten fiscal years including 56,419 refugees in fiscal year 2011. The chart above shows the annual admissions over the last ten years and the cumulative total of those admissions using data complied by the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The U.S. government program that distributes new refugees among the states is the only immigration program that provides state governments the opportunity to participate in deciding how many newcomers will come to that state each year.

FAIR Estimate - FAIR estimates the illegal alien population of United States as of 2010 was about 11,900,000 persons. This is part of an overall estimate of the U.S. illegal alien population of about 11,900,000 persons.
DHS Estimate - The current estimate by DHS of the illegal alien population in United States was 10,790,000 in 2012. The DHS estimate is available for only the 10 states with the largest illegal alien populations. The DHS estimate of the national illegal alien population in 2012 was 11,430,000.
Other Estimates - The Pew Hispanic Center estimates the illegal alien population of the state at 11,200,000 as of 2010.
Fiscal Cost of Illegal Aliens
FAIR's most recent estimate of the cost outlays due to illegal immigration and tax receipts from illegal aliens in United States are as shown on the right:
Limited English Proficiency Students
Data are not available nationally on immigrant students (either legally or illegally resident in the United States) who are enrolled in primary and secondary schools (K-12). However, a large majority of these students enrolled in Limited English Proficiency/English Language Learning (LEP/ELL) instruction programs may be assumed to be children of either legal or illegal immigrants with a predominance of children of illegal aliens.
In United States, LEP public school enrollment in 2010 ( 4,647,016) was 124.7 percent of LEP enrollment a decade earlier. By contrast, overall K-12 enrollment in the state was 105.9 percent of enrollment a decade earlier.
FAIR projected United States's population in 2050 likely would be between 443,808,000 million and 460,681,000 million with current levels of immigration. Alternatively, the population could be lower (368,194,000) if immigration were reduced to a level where it balanced the number of U.S. residents leaving to reside outside of the United states, i.e., zero-net immigration. See "Projecting the U.S. Population to 2050: Four Immigration Scenarios," FAIR 2006.
Data compiled by the Institute of International Education (IIE) record the number of foreign students attending post-secondary school in United States as 818,607 in 2013.
The chart above illustrates the change in the number of foreign students attending school in United States since 1997.

POPULATION PROFILE
The U.S. population has long been characterized by rapid growth and shows no signs of slowing. In 1800 the population was about 5.3 million. By 1850, it was nearly than 23.2 million residents. Fifty years later, the population was more than 76.2 million. In 2000 the population reached more than 281.4 million, and ten years later the population reached nearly 309 million. This has meant a rapidly growing population density. Setting aside national parks and forests and water area, the nation has about 3.1 million square miles of land — some of which will be desert and mountains or dedicated to agriculture. But, using the 3.1 million square miles, our population has grown from less than two residents per square mile in 1800 to 24.5 residents per square mile in 1900 and to nearly 100 persons per square mile today.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND QUALITY OF LIFE PROFILE
Water: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), "In the last five years, nearly every region of the country has experienced water shortages. At least 36 states are anticipating local, regional, or statewide water shortages by 2013, even under non-drought conditions."1 Because much of the water consumed by the population comes from aquifers and lakes and is being consumed faster than it is being replenished, shortages are inevitable as population grows unless offset with reduced levels of consumption — keeping in mind that there is a minimum amount of water consumption needed to sustain life and hygiene. This fact has given rise to the term "peak water" to educate the public about the impact of a growing population on diminishing resources.
Traffic: According to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), "America's $1.75 trillion public highway system is in jeopardy. Years of wear and tear, unrelenting traffic, an explosion of heavy trucks, deferred maintenance, harsh weather conditions, and soaring construction costs have taken their toll on America's roads."2 An AASHTO report states that only half of the nation's roads are in good condition. The deterioration of the road system is both a factor of the unrelenting increase in the number of miles driven and inadequate maintenance. Road usage increased by more than 41 percent — from 2.1 trillion miles in 1990 to 3 trillion in 2007.3
The number of motor vehicles has been rising even faster than population. The U.S. population has grown by an average of about 3.2 million residents per year since 1960 while the number of vehicles has increased by about 3.3 million each year.4 Nevertheless, the relationship between population growth and number of vehicles and miles driven and highway congestion and wear is clear.
Infrastructure: The American Society of Civil Engineers periodically releases a report card on the state of the nation's infrastructure systems. In its 2009 report it assigned the following grades:5
Aviation D
Bridges C
Dams D
Drinking Water D-
Energy D+
Hazardous Waste D
Inland Waterways D-
Levees D-
Public Parks and Recreation C-
Rail C-
Roads D-
Schools D
Solid Waste C+
Wastewater D-
As is the case with the highway system, each of the above infrastructure systems is subject to increasing pressure as population increases. Choices must be made between investment in infrastructure expansion and maintenance of existing infrastructure investments. If population were stabilized, resources would then be dedicated to only maintenance or replacement of existing infrastructure systems.
Sprawl: A study of urban sprawl between 1970 and 1990 calculated the impact on of population increase and per capita land use on expanding metropolitan areas. It found that among the 100 largest urbanized areas in the country, they had collectively consumed an additional 14,545 square miles, i.e., more than 9 million acres of natural habitat, farmland or other rural space. It found that about half of the sprawl was due to population growth and the other half was due to consumption choices.6

Flood Relief 2013
written by littlelaosontheprairie
Hundreds gathered at the Buasavanh restaurant in Brooklyn Center on Friday, November 1st to raise funds to assist those hit hard by the summer floods in Laos. Almost 24,000 hectares of rice and other crops were lost, with over 32,000 households affected by the crisis, according to recent reports from the United Nations.
A set of pictures depicting the damage the floods had caused greeted supporters on their way into Buasavanh. The event reminded many of their heritage, their tradition and the importance of coming together to help others in need. Laotians across five provinces have been hit hard, including residents of Savannakhet, Salavan, Champasak, Sekong, and Attapeu.
Sponsors of the evening event included Southeast Asian Healthcare, Hmong Village Shopping Center, and the Flood Relief Fundraising Committee. Minnesota musicians provided entertainment while committee members spoke to the generous supporters who'd come to learn more about the current needs of those in the most heavily impacted areas.
Representative McCollum sent Chao Lee to speak on her behalf regarding the current issues in Laos and to support constituents who are trying to make a positive difference. Among other high-profile figures in attendance was Dr. Yang Dao, the first Hmong to receive a Ph.D. and longtime community builder in Minnesota. Dr. Yang Dao had once been a senator in Laos.
Alex Phasy worked hard to engage community members and to remind them to vote, while Yommala Voravong helped to raise awareness of breast cancer issues and other issues of civic engagement.
Sunny Chanthanouvong, executive director for the Lao Assistance Center expressed his support for the organizers, and sponsored a table at the event. An ardent advocate for civic engagement, Chanthanouvong is a Humphrey Policy Fellow, a Bush Leadership Fellow, and holds a Virginia Mcknight-Binger Award for Human Service. "I'm glad to see so many people still have a love for Laos, and use their knowledge and skills to help others," Chanthanouvong said.
Members of The Lao Assistance Center Of Minnesota, the senior staff of Little Laos on the Prairie, and the inaugural cohort of the Lao Leadership Institute and their friends and family were among the participants.
As with many events in the community, the majority of the crowd did not begin to arrive until almost 3 hours after the official start of the program and all of the guest speakers had had their say. Younger community members found the effort inspiring as Hmong, Lao, and other friends of the community found a common cause.

Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise.
Charlotte Tilbury has indeed made a name for herself in the beauty community. Since her YouTube debut on Lisa Eldridge's channel (here), many beauty enthusiasts were instantly captured by her magnetism. Her descriptive and engaging dialogue is the epitome of English charm. So when I discovered Amal Clooney used Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise Long Lasting Cream Colour ($32 USD/ 7mL) on her wedding day, I knew I had to experience this beautiful color for myself. Will this golden truffle truly mesmerize or leave me feeling less than dazzled? 🙂 You'll see. I hope you enjoy !
Without a doubt, I am quite late to the Charlotte Tilbury bandwagon. In my defense, the way Mrs. Tilbury promotes her products as "fabulous, gorgeous, amazing, magical and miraculous," automatically triggers my inner skeptic. I'm all for believing in your brand, but this type of "soft sell" marketing is not my thing.
Despite my reservation towards the brand, I could not help but admire the sophisticated makeup look Tilbury created for Amal Clooney's wedding (here), featuring this color.
Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise directions.
Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise ingredients.
Marie Antoinette is described as an "antique oyster gold." I would say this golden/bronze color is one of the most flattering golds for olive and medium complexions.
The smooth silk-like formula glides on lids with the greatest of easy.
Feels lightweight on the lids.
Can be built up, by using thin even layers.
Delicate cooling sensation is felt immediately and is quite refreshing early in the morning.
The smallest amount is needed to achieve a lovely metallic sheen.
Eyeshadow is housed in a frosted glass pot.
Fingers or a flat brush can be used to apply the color.
Does not crease or flake when used over a primer.
Ideal for drier and youthful eyelids.
Formula does not fully set. On my deep-set eyes, color transferred from the outer corners to my orbital bone (see photo below).
Not recommended for oily lids or hooded eyes.
The highly reflective sheen is not the most flattering for mature skins.
According to Nordstrom, Eyes to Mesmerise "blurr(s) lines and imperfections for a visibly more youthful finish." I did not experience this effect at all.
Formulated with mineral oil (C13-14 Isoparrifin) and a plethora of silicones.
The above photo shows what Marie Antoinette looks like when freshly applied. As you can tell, the golden hue possesses just the right amount of depth for my olive coloring. Anything brighter would look too harsh; I suppose that is why this color was chosen for Amal.
Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise after 11 hours.
As you can tell from the photos above, Marie Antoinette held up well, over a primer, for eleven hours. Visible signs of wear can be observed towards the outer corner; the color transferred to my orbital bone, leaving some bare spots on my lid (photos were taken in the evening with minimal room lighting).
Comparison: Tom Ford Platinum v Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette.
Tom Ford Platinum v Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette.
I have seen many videos and read many blogs comparing these two colors. Granted, the textures are undoubtedly very similar (predictable, considering Charlotte helped design the Tom Ford makeup line), however the color is not. Tom Ford Platinum ($45 USD/ 6mL) has silver pearl scattered throughout and a distinct mauve undertone. Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette is clearly more golden and warm.
The formula's mousse-like consistency is evident in both, but Charlotte has Tom beat when it comes to color concentration. You literally need a small dot of Marie Antoinette to get a full metallic sheen. Tom Ford's formula is a touch more transparent and requires a bit of build up.
Both formulas perform exactly the same on my lids. The smooth whipped texture does not fully set and inevitably transfers to my protruding orbital bone by day's end. I have read many blogs stating CT's formula creases, but if applied in thin layers and over a primer, creasing is greatly reduced. Regardless, for the price charged, a primer should remain an option rather than a prerequisite.
Although, Platinum and Marie Antoinette are stunning on the lids, without proper prep both formulas can present issues for some, especially oily hooded eyes and mature skins.
Notably, other effective alternatives exist for these cream formulas: Maybelline Color Tattoos, Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks (reviewed here), Bobbi Brown Shadow Sticks (reviewed here), Mally Eyeshadow Sticks (reviewed here), Burberry Eye Contour Pen (not reviewed but loved), and even MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Stick. All these brands provide budge-proof results in a variety of finishes and colors.
Makeup would tell you Charlotte Tilbury Marie Antoinette Eyes to Mesmerise is a without a doubt a beautiful color with an enchanting finish. Personally, the lack of setting properties is a bit concerning, especially when there are other impressive alternatives on the market. Although, this color was "inspired by the hypnotizing beauty of the infamous Queen of France" (what does that even mean?), I cannot help but feel this line could have used a bit more tweaking. Have you been bedazzled into purchasing from this line? Until next time, be well, stay safe and be happy.

"In presenting this unusual retrospective exhibition, I wish to express my appreciation to Margit Winter Chanin, who first brought the work of Robert and Ella Bergmann-Michel to the United States a decade ago. Without her support and cooperation—not to mention her cheerful and energetic help—the show could never have taken place. Similarly, I am indebted to A. L. Chanin, Docent in The Museum of Modern Art, for his willingness to prepare the Introduction to the catalogue. And may I acknowledge the many loans which have added importantly to this retrospective, principally those of the Yale University Art Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art, and Mrs. Carolyn Minskoff of New York."


MILAN -- Italy's populist, anti-migrant interior minister said Friday that Malta should allow a Dutch-flagged rescue ship carrying hundreds of migrants rescued from rubber dinghies off the Libyan coast to make port there because the ship is now in Maltese waters. "We ask humanly and politically that Malta finally opens one of its ports and lets these desperate people disembark," and then seize the ship, Salvini said.
Malta responded that it would "act according to the laws and applicable conventions," without further explanation. International law states that Malta must respond if they are the nearest safe port at rescue or if requested by the ship's captain.
The dynamic is similar to the standoff over the Aquarius, operated by French aid groups, which eventually sailed an additional 900 miles last week to deliver 630 migrants to Spain after both Malta and Italy refused to let the rescue ship access their ports. Salvini is making good on an election promise to go after rescue ships run by aid groups, which he has likened to taxi services that help the migrant smugglers.
After Trump tweets, how is immigration really affecting Europe?
Salvini on Thursday said he would not allow the ship operated by the German NGO Mission Lifeline to enter Italian ports, saying that it had acted improperly by taking on board the 224 migrants that the Italian coast guard had assigned to the Libyan coast guard to rescue. Salvini said the rescue was in Libyan waters, which Lifeline denies.
Mission Lifeline said Friday that it still has not been assigned a port, despite its requests. It said it picked up additional migrant passengers during another rescue overnight, and currently was heading north with 234 on board. It said it had responded to a request for help by a merchant vessel to help rescue 113 people.
Lifeline referred to reports that as many as 220 people were missing at sea and presumed drowned, according to survivor statements to the U.N. Refugee agency.
"The latest drownings show how important our sea rescue efforts are, and that not a single rescue ship can be missed," said Mission Lifeline founder Axel Steier. "The rescue of human lives must be prioritized before border control."
More than 640,000 migrants have arrived in Italy since 2014, many of whom made their way northward to join family or to countries perceived as providing more assistance until Italy's neighbors enacted stricter border controls. Arrivals are down some 80 percent this year to around 14,500, as migrants have turned to other routes.
How to handle the hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees who have poured into Europe in recent years continues to be "one of the biggest crises that the European Union has faced in a decade where there have been several crises in a row," John Springford, Deputy Director of the Centre for European Reform, told CBS News this week.
The EU is a borderless travel zone, meaning once someone enters, he or she is able to move between EU countries freely. This "freedom of movement" allows citizens of EU member states to live and work in any EU country they please, but it also means once migrants cross over the bloc's external border, they are relatively free to move anywhere within the Eurozone.

Johann Kinnerus, född 1705 i Mörbylånga på Öland, död 1759, var en svensk kyrkomålare.

Kinnerus far Petrus Kinnerus var komminister i Mörbylånga. Modern hette Catharina Hallongren och var syster till kyrkoherden i Österplana, Lars Laurells, andra och tredje hustrur, Ebba och Beata Hallongren. Efter faderns död 1710 sändes Johan till mostern Ebba i Österplana.

Johan Kinnerus sattes i skola i Skara tillsammans med fosterföräldrarnas egen son Johan Laurell. De båda kusinerna sattes senare i lära hos kyrkomålaren Olof Collander, som bodde på sin gård Skagelund på Kinnekulle, endast ett par kilometer från prästgården i Österplana. De båda kusinerna kom båda att senare bli kända kyrkomålare.

Johan Kinnerus blev målarmästare i Jönköping 1733 och samarbetade mycket med Johan Christian Peterson. Det är känt att han dekorerat ungefär tio kyrkor. Det mest bekanta arbetet är i Habo kyrka, som han under åren 1741 till 1743 utförde tillsammans med  Peterson.

Writing for Article Directory WebSites: Build Links Now!
Writing articles and submitting them to article directory web sites should be project numero uno for you in an attempt to build valuable back links to your web site. I think that most of us would agree that traffic to your site is critical, as it determines the success or failure of your site. After all, what is the use in spending all your time and resources building a web site to settle for second best when it comes to traffic? Writing 500 to 1000 word articles is where the real work in promoting your web site come in to play. Many webmasters have made it a science to simply rehash what is already available on the web. There are very few original thoughts going around the web today when it comes to site promotion. Link campaigns, article campaigns, blogging, etc.
are all ways to get your site name and link in front of people. If our site has something important to sell, then the key is getting as many people to visit as possible. Your teaser articles that circulate on the web will achieve the same result as a killer news headline or advertising campaign. This has been proven thousands of times already. They will lure the reader into reading the rest of your article including the all-important resource box, which contains a link to your site.
When the reader clicks to your site, this is the first step to a sale. A well-written and relevant article will achieve its purpose over time, but there is a sense of urgency to begin writing articles today in order to achieve any level of success with your online business. Well-written articles will quickly get picked up by other webmasters or newsletter owners that will graciously publish your work withing their article directory or ezine. On an important note, in order for your articles to have their desired effect, you need to integrate keywords into your articles that are relevant to your site. This will provide more reference weight in the search engine algorithms, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. Many webmasters and authors seemingly disregard this when putting together articles and they wonder why their site traffic does not increase on the level of their expectations. Having a link in your resource box at the end of your article simply isn't good enought anymore. Remembering this will help you stay on topic and write purposefully. Here is something else to keep in mind. When explaining idea or concept in your articles, you need to write it so that a 9 year old could read it and understand it.
This holds true unless your purpose is to write a technical article for a niche market. For the most part, you want to make sure to keep your paragraphs short and direct and your language understandable. Also, write as if you where writing to one person instead of many and feel free to spice up your articles up with a quote or a funny remark. With search engines using the links in your articles as one-way links to your web site, please remember to use different keywords every so often to avoid a form of search engine spam. This refers to using to many of the same keywords throughout the text of your article. I always try to target three to four keywords within each article of, say, 600 to 1000 words. One idea you might consider is using an article writing software package. These are valuable in that they will put text in front of you from which you can use and get some tremendous ideas. If you are not particularly prolific with your thoughts, or the pen for that matter, they can help you along as you are getting started submitting your articles to article directories. There are many of them out there floating around.
Spending 50 bucks on a package pales in comparison to the amount of time you have already spent on your site. Right? But I digress. So there you have it!

Zimbabwe's development agenda as outlined in both the Transitional Stabilisation Programme and Vision 2030 cannot succeed without the open engagement of young people. The Zimbabwean Constitution defines youth as persons aged between 15 and 35 years old.
Young people in Zimbabwe account for a significant share of the population that has felt the effects and suffered the burden of economic and political conflicts. According to the Inter-
Censal Demographic Survey 2017, persons under 34 years constitute 74,4% of the population in Zimbabwe. Young people are key stakeholders in development and implementation of solutions
for the problems that the country is facing.
Young people have been accused of being passive on pertinent issues that affect their development. However, the idea of being passive is not entirely true with young people taking an
active part in various initiatives in their communities.
However, repression by institutions and structures that are supposed to give young people voice has often led segments of young people to opt to be bystanders because using their voice was seen as a risk for verbal or physical retaliation.
In Zimbabwe, this has resulted in leaders getting away with things they should not be allowed to get away with, including public office corruption.
Alcinda Honwana (2012) states in the book The Time of Youth:Work, Social Change and Politics in Africa that youth are a critical indicator of the state of a nation, of its politics,
economy and social and cultural life.
It is, therefore, crucial that all state and non-state actors dedicate significant resources towards understanding young people so that national development initiatives are enhanced.
Young people as engaged citizens
In recognition of this fact, it is important for young people to be engaged citizens. The Transitional Stabilisationn Programme outlines the need to fight corruption and it is important
for young people to take an active role in this.
Whistleblowing at various levels of society is an activity young people can peacefully take part in. Young people also need to develop a culture of reading and following up on available documentation that exposes rot in various institutions.
The Auditor General's findings provide a platform for engagement and monitoring by young people from various walks of life. Boycotting of goods and services that are sold by individuals and institutions that have shown ill discipline in terms of available policy frameworks is a potentially effective way of getting such groups to listen.
Young people as governance allies
At national level, Zimbabwe has in its Constitution the Traditional Leaders Act and the Rural District Councils Act outlining provisions for youth participation. Section 20 (1b) of
the Constitution puts that the "State shall ensure youths have an opportunity to associate and be represented in political, social and economic life".
The Traditional Leaders Act provides for the establishment of various decision-making structures, which determine the development of communities. The Traditional Leaders Act (Chapter 29:17) provides for the establishment of village assemblies.
The village assembly is composed of all dwellers who are over the age of 18 years. One function of the village assembly is to deliberate on all matters affecting the interests and well-being of the village dwellers.
The Traditional Leaders Act provides for the establishment of Village Development Committees (VIDCOs), which are both consultative and advisory bodies which can then advise the Village Assembly as well.
These are platforms that young people need to take full advantage of through dedicating time to attend meetings so that the youth agenda is prioritised in local
communities.
Young people need to be the change they want to see
A proverb from West Africa says: "if the child robs when he begins to walk, he will plunder a sheepfold when he grows older." As soon as young people are capable of discerning what is
right and what is wrong, there is need for them to learn to act the way they would expect leaders to do.
There is need for honesty among young people in everyday activities that have far-reaching consequences, including securing driver's licences, passports and using the honest route to secure opportunities.
If young people do not have the courage to be honest and stand out from the crowd, then there is risk of perpetuating corruption in society. Increased corruption compromises the ability of the country to meaningfully contribute to the regional and global agenda as outlined in Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Young people need to have the courage and ability to confront challenges, which they may not have caused, as well as to confront challenges and problems that they are contributing
towards.
Young people need to be able to deal with violence, discrimination and hate speech based on gender or political affiliation and be able to promote the values enshrined in the
The fight of eradicating poverty and promoting social cohesion cannot be achieved by one particular age group or constituency, but there is need for young people to step
up and ensure their voice is heard in all important discussions concerning national development.
In ensuring that youth play a central role in the sustainable development in the country, Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust (YETT) provides capacity development and technical
support to youth and youth-serving organisations.
YETT also provides research and analysis to inform advocacy initiatives by youth-led organisations across Zimbabwe. We call upon other stakeholders to support and engage young people so that Zimbabwe realises the potential of a demographic dividend.

Just a few reasons why I LOVE my job!
It has been a while since I have last written just on myself here. The past few weeks have been busy and fulfilling for the most part. Today was a day of putting out many fires, but everything coming out well in the end. I also think today was a good day to sit back and reflect on what it is I often to day to day and I found that even though today was hectic and I often was a bit disorganized, it was a day that showed well why I truly love my job.
I get great ideas for new ways to highlight student scholarship from colleagues I don't expect it from.
Students when asked to take on a mighty task come through beautifully and professionally.
Watching my students in experimental psych tackle their data, see how much work it is, the frustrations that come with easy mistakes that are made, and yet also feel the anticipation of knowing if their data mean anything (significant results).
Also, having one of those 'really good classes' that is fun to teach and interact with the students.
Listening to students in the library work together on constructing an argumentative paper and taking it really seriously.
Seeing how much faculty care about their student's work and fighting to be sure that their student's work is presented in the appropriate manner.
Reading a colleague's manuscript draft on an area totally outside my own and being absolutely fascinated by the topic and the thesis.
Critical discussion between faculty on issues of courses and student designed majors. Items that, in the past, may have been passed due to apathy were energetically debated.
Watching students that were freshmen when I started here 4 years ago, prepare for graduation, receive departmental awards, and get ready to go to grad school or start their new jobs.
Working with faculty who really care about student success, experience, development, mentorship, etc. etc.
I'm sure there are more instances….but honesty it is 4:10 on a Friday afternoon, I have no meetings or classes left.

HEART HEALTHY LESSONS PLUS BETTER FOOD OFFERINGS LOWER HEART DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS
CHICAGO (March 25, 2012) — Sixth-graders taking part in a 10-week program that included interactive lessons to get heart smart coupled with healthier food and beverage options in the cafeteria and vending machines had marked reductions across all cardiovascular risk factors, according to research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session. The Scientific Session, the premier cardiovascular medical meeting, brings cardiovascular professionals together to further advances in the field.
"To see this kind of an impact in such a short period of time is pretty encouraging, and something that distinguishes it from other childhood obesity programs," said Taylor Eagle, pre-medical student, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Mich., and the study's lead investigator. "Teaching these kids heart-healthy lessons clearly makes a real difference, and it could affect their lives forever. It's also important for controlling health care costs down the road because children who are obese in childhood are much more likely to be obese in their adulthood."
In addition to favorable physiologic changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL or "bad" cholesterol, triglycerides and random glucose (p≤0.001), pre-/post- analyses showed the program also supported better dietary and exercise habits. Students reportedly consumed more fruits and vegetables and became more physically active, spent less time in front of the TV and/or computer and more time playing intramural sports.
The messages and activities promoted throughout the 10-week intervention centered around five goals: eat more fruits and vegetables; make better beverage choices; perform at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week; eat less fats and fatty food, and spend less mindless time in front of the TV and computer. Volunteers and program staff were trained to implement the program consistently in the 20-plus participating schools. The intervention included 10 interactive lessons that reinforced the five goals, related to changes to nutritional offerings and other activities to promote healthy eating and exercise.
"We are not just teaching lessons to the students, but we are also altering the environments to make it easier to make healthier food choices," Eagle said.
Researchers used standardized questionnaires to collect information about health behaviors from 2,048 sixth-graders in middle schools in four Southeast Michigan communities participating in Project Healthy Schools (PHS). Baseline physiological markers were also assessed; these and health behaviors were compared before and after students were exposed to the program. Participating schools also have the freedom to adopt other activities to boost healthy behaviors; for example, walking programs after school, buses to YMCAs to exercise in a safe environment, and starting farms to be grow their own vegetables.
"We are not going to solve childhood obesity epidemic without raising awareness and engaging communities," said Elizabeth Jackson, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Michigan Systems, Ann Arbor, Mich. "This program could be implemented in any middle school in the U.S. – at the very least it gives every child basic skills which can be used to make improvements in key health behaviors, and may result in long-term healthier lifestyles."
Researchers say further studies are needed to understand which aspects of middle-school based interventions are most successful in improving students' health. PHS is supported by a broad community partnership.
This study was funded, in part, by the University of Michigan Health Care System, Mardigian Foundation, Thompson Foundation, S.I. Company, LLC., Harvard Drug Group, NuStep, Inc., and the Atkins Foundation.
Dr. Jackson will be available to the media on Sunday, March 25 at 1 p.m. in Media Room #1, McCormick Place North Level 1, Hall C1.
Taylor Eagle will present the study "Immediate Impact of a 10-Week Middle School Intervention to Improve Health Behaviors and Reduce Cardiovascular Risk Factors - Project Healthy Schools in Michigan" on Sunday, March 25 at 8 a.m. in McCormick Place North, N229.
