The 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will most certainly be a quite intriguing car, due to a much higher performance than any other muscle car at the moment. The previous edition of this vehicle is the first Hellcat ever built. However, with this upcoming edition, there is going to be a small facelift of the vehicle.
Exterior-wise, some minor esthetic updates can be expected. The overall body design has been inspired by the 1971 version. The anticipated changes may refer to the grille, which can become split in the middle for example, or dual front air extractors, large splitter which at the same time presses the Hellcat to the ground and makes it look as if it is floating.
The front of the 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will get a new bumper with a pair of LED fog lights which will be integrated into the pillars of the splitter. According to Dodge, this will give the vehicle "snake" effect.
Not many enhancements are expected to be seen in hi-tech functions of the 2016 Challenger Hellcat, therefore it will probably come with 7" touch display infotainment system.
As for the interior design , the cabin will receive a small improvement in material quality. The older one used hard plastic on the dashboard, but this one is going to use soft touch plastic, leather and a top-of-the-class aluminum. Some enthusiasts hope for a mix of Nappa and Alcantra natural leather upholstery of seats, steering wheel and gear shifter with French-seamed scent stitching.
The design on the other hand is going to remain unchanged.
Under the hood, the 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat will retain the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that the previous model used. It delivers 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. But these are just the official numbers. In some cases, the tested vehicles put out even 740 horsepower or more at the crankshaft, which hardly ever happens nowadays. As for the top speed, it should get to about 204 mph.
The vehicle should be able to develop acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds with an 8-speed automatic transmission, thanks to new gearbox software.
It is hard to presume the price of 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, but rumor has it that it will be $46,000 and $60,990 with the sport racing sequence.
The car should be released in January next year, but the date could alter.
–Dodge Silver Challenger was produced from 1958 to 1959, with 230 cu in (3.8 L) engine or 325 cu in (5.3 L) engine.
– In the third generation includes the current model and began to be produced in 2007.
Competition in this segment is not great, but the eternal rival is a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350-r and 2016 Shelby Terlingua.


Daniel 9:26 (NASB) 26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
"The Messiah will be cut off and have nothing…" Of course, we are all aware that this statement is generally interpreted to be a reference to the crucifixion of our Lord Christ and the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 AD. I wonder, however, if this is so. Until Messiah Christ (and His followers) has "nothing," the prophecy cannot have been completely fulfilled. The Messiah cannot have been cut-off until His church is cut-off. That has not occurred, yet. Perhaps, Pope Francis' words are a prophecy themselves. Soon, perhaps sooner than we imagine, Christianity will be "cut-off" from the Middle East. It is happening in Egypt, Syria, and other parts of the land of Islam.
I cannot help but wonder also if the rest of the prophecy has yet to be fulfilled as well. The "people of the prince who is to come" are Muslims, not Romans; and, the time of the destruction of Jerusalem and the sanctuary" is not 70 AD and the Roman destruction, but the future destruction of Jerusalem at the end of days (as the remainder of verse 26 implies). Of course, the "sanctuary" would not refer to the original Temple since it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, unless the reference is to the section of the original Temple still standing, that is, the Wailing Wall? Or — is it possible that the word, "sanctuary" in the original language is not a reference to the Temple at all; but rather, to the present adorning desecration, i.e, the Dome of the Rock? In another post, I will address this. The Hebrew word used in Daniel 9:26 is a word that does not always refer to the Temple. If this were the case, this conclusion would lead us to interpret the 70th week as the end-of-days Armageddon prophesied by Zechariah 14:2-5 NASB and other passages. If you think about it, lots of "pieces" fit with this view.
Only the Lord knows. Jesus come quickly.
NextIsrael – Alone in the Middle East?
Interesting thoughts. But remember that God is raising up believers in each of these places. The underground church often thrives under persecution. The church may "have nothing" in terms of power and acceptance yet there will be a people of God from every nation, tribe and tongue around the throne, and he will not leave himself without witness in any nation.
Is it a rebuilt temple? Is that what the Scriptures say?
and referring to the entire church assembly….
(2Th 2:4) who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
What could be more antichrist, more blasphemous and evil….more satanic….than a person (a temple of God) who professes to be a Christian but whose temple is corrupted by apostatizing to Islam?
This apostasy is what has always been seen in the history of Islam when it conquers Christian cultures. In the best interest of peace and of loving their lives, Christians have capitulated when they should have been going to war for their faith, not loving their lives even when threatened with death (Rev 12:11). That time is approaching us again.
So what goes on in a temple? Worship. And that's what we find comes to a stop in Dan 9:27.
The identity of what is being referred to as "sacrifices and grain offerings" is very significant because from an Islamic end time's perspective, the abomination who makes desolation is the one who brings them to an end. What exactly are the "sacrifice and grain offerings" referred to in Dan 9:27? It cannot be referring to a cessation of temple sacrifices and offerings at Jesus' crucifixion, because Judaism continued long after Jesus' crucifixion and even after the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem in AD70. It must be referring to something else. New Testament Scriptures provide us with clues.
The stopping of sacrifices and grain offerings is referring to the cessation, or stopping of worship.
The text implies that for the first part of this end time period, worship of Jesus will be allowed under this covenant, but will then be abruptly stopped. We are seeing this today. Under the Pact of Umar's stipulations of Christians being allowed to worship (but not louder than the Muslims nearby, and the no ringing of church bells), the reneging of this covenant ends their protection of limited Christian worship of God under Islamic subjugation. Now, in Muslim majority countries all over the world but particularly in the middle east, Christians are not just prohibited from worshiping, they no longer have that protection and are instead being murdered.
It would seem very fantastic if we are in some midpoint of end times events, the "middle of the week" of Daniel 9:27, and have 3.5 years to go before Christ's return. I'm not so sure the "week" of Daniel is a literal, exact time frame but perhaps used just to denote a separation of events, not times. I'm open to other interpretations on this, but as far as the rest of the interpretation, it seems remarkably similar to what is happening today, right now, in Muslim majority countries.
Will the Temple need be rebuilt before 2 Thess 2 can be fulfilled? When 2 Thess 2 was written the Temple was standing. The point Paul was making was that the antichrist, the "man of lawlessness" would blaspheme God by "taking his seat" in the place that only God sat — the Temple, and more likely, the Holy of Holies. The Temple was standing when Paul wrote and for him to write otherwise would have made the words of no meaning to the audience of his day. Likewise, in the day when the man of lawlessness is "revealed," the point will not be that the Temple has to be rebuilt before the prophecy can be fulfilled. Rather, the man of lawlessness will blaspheme God by "exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God." 2 Thess 2:4. This specific blasphemy is what we must look for rather than a rebuilt temple. However, this does not mean that the location of the previous Temple has no significance in the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Temple was located upon the Temple Mount; and if it is not standing then the issue is where was it standing – the Temple Mount; and therefore, the Mount is the location we need look for as a a marker or "type" for specific fuflllment. This is why the Dome of the Rock that is "standing" (Matt 24:15) precisely over the foundation stone of the Ark of the Covenant is so important; and Muhammad's "ascent" is a blasphemous attempt by Islam to usurp the deity of Jesus Christ upon whom Muhammad passes by on his way to heaven for his audience with Allah. Islam's blasphemy of Christ in the placing of the Dome of the Rock over the foundation stone has this specific purpose to not only blaspheme Christ but also Christianity since Islam defeated Christianity in the Middle East in 7th century AD.
It is also possible that a future "progressive" fulfillment on this specific location will take place whereby Islamists will name Jerusalem as the "headquarters" and the Temple Mount will be the ground upon which that declaration is made. Daniel 11:45.


Boston, MA– Last November, Boston police officers burst through the door of a Brighton apartment in a public housing complex in search of a suspect. Holding the residents at gunpoint at 4:30 a.m., they handcuffed parents Jean and Verlande Regis, along with their 15-year-old daughter, on the ground. The Regis family was kept in handcuffs for 20 minutes, while the family's two younger children (ages 4 and 5) looked on.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, but most devastatingly for the Regis family, the search warrant the police had obtained was for a different apartment. There was no legal basis for entering the Regises home and terrifying the whole family.
The lawsuit details the events as follows: "The [SWAT] team was given instructions to enter the first apartment on the right when entering the floor. The Regis family's apartment, however, was the first apartment on the left ... Police officials later admitted that there was no lawful basis for the entry into the Regis home."
Now the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the Regis family. Patch reports that the family is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, alongside a request that the police department review their processes to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again to another innocent family.
The Regises say that the children have experienced trauma following the incident. The kids now "hide from the police" under the bed, Patch reports.
In a statement to Boston 25 News, ACLU attorneys said: "Police failed to take appropriate steps to avoid entering the wrong house, violated the family's rights, and caused great emotional harm. Police are sworn to keep the peace and public safety, not to violently bang down the wrong door and assault innocent residents of Boston."


How do you implement changes in your network? In today's world there's 95% chance that you have to write up an RFC, submit it at least a week before the planned implementation date, go through at least one CAB meeting and only then, assuming it got approved, can you implement it. But the most important question is 'how do you test'? Do you simply content yourself with a few pings or do you make sure all main routes are in place? And how often do you get a call the next morning from a very nervous client asking you to 'please have a look at the network performance issues'?
Software developers have solved most of these problems for themselves. DevOps movement has brought forth ideas of Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) to streamline the change process and 'embrace' the change rather than protect against it. But how applicable are those ideas to the networks of today? Can we simply rip and replace our CAB meetings with a Jenkins server and live happily ever after? As always, things are getting difficult as you move down from Layer 7.
Ever since the dawn of networking, the only tools that engineers could use for testing were traceroutes and pings. It's not necessarily bad since, after all, networks are supposed to be a simple packet transports and shouldn't be endowed with application-layer knowledge. Note that I'm talking about traditional or, in SDN-era terms, 'underlay' networks. The biggest problem with network testability is not the lack of test tools but rather lack of automation. For every ping and every traceroute we had to login a device, carefully craft the command including source interface names, VRFs and other various options and then interpret the output.
I have already explored the idea of automated network testing in my previous blog posts - Building Network TDD framework and Network TDD quickstart. I even got lucky enough to get invited to one of the greatest networking podcasts hosted by Ivan Pepelnjak.
Another big problem is the lack of testable network software. We've only had IOU, vSRX and vEOS for the past 3-4 years and even now a lot of the real-world functionality remains unvirtualizable. However having those images is a lot better than not, even though some of them tend to crash and behave unreliably from time to time.
Please don't judge me too harshly, this is my first experience with screencasts.
If that sounds interesting to you - stay tuned.


November 8 2002 UN security council unanimously backs resolution 1441, which orders Saddam Hussein to accept the unconditional return of weapons inspectors or face "serious consequences"
January 27 2003 Inspectors' formal report is critical, though not damning. Hans Blix states: "Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance _ of the disarmament that was demanded"
March 18 Blair sets out the central justification for war to MPs. He states that: "The United Kingdom must uphold the authority of the United Nations as set out in resolution 1441 and many resolutions preceding it, and therefore _ should use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction"

Реакция Саретта — реакция окисления спиртов комплексом пиридина с триоксидом хрома органических соединений, содержащих активированную метиленовую группу. Впервые предложена в 1953 г.

Механизм реакции

Комплекс CHN•CrO (реагент Саретта) был использован для окисления непредельных спиртов (гераниола, нерола, цитронеллола, коричного спирта, холестерина и др.) в соответствующие карбонильные соединения с высоким выходом. При этом кратные C-C связи не затрагиваются. В то же время в отсутствие пиридина триоксид хрома окисляет двойные связи непредельных спиртов с образованием оксиранов.

Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia: Five Lectures by Herbert Marcuse
An impassioned plea for overcoming capitalism, whose urgency is more timely today than when it was first published fifty years ago.
Back in print after fifty years and with a new introduction by Ray Brassier, this often overlooked but prescient collection of Marcuse's lectures makes an impassioned plea for the overthrowing of capitalism.
Analysing the work of Freud and Marx, and taking in topics like automation, work, postcapitalism, utopia, and technology, Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia excavates the psychic roots of the current crisis of capitalist civilisation, and gives us a blueprint for the emancipation of humanity from the toils of capitalism.
In a world reeling from the ongoing collapse of the neoliberal consensus, coupled with the accelerating pace of catastrophic climate change wrought by capitalism, Marcuse's radical insights in Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia are as urgently relevant today as they were in 1970.

Celebrating a life lived with gusto on a tenth anniversary
Bill Jones was a wonderful painter, whose one-man shows drew crowds
in Phoenix and Los Angeles galleries. Here is a favorite self-portrait.
Here's looking at you, kid:
Artist, writer, traveler, funny guy
BILL JONES --- a TRIBUTE
By CHRISTENE MEYERS
A DECADE HAS elapsed since Billy's passing. This week, we celebrate his rich, but brief life:
Bill and Cookie traveled the world,
here in Portugal in 1997.
BILL WAS BORN in Indiana and liked to say he moved his parents to Arizona when he was not quite a year old. He considered himself a native Arizonan and wrote and painted the desert with affection.
He was a curious global citizen, an enthusiastic world traveler, always up for a trip, a new adventure.
Bill Jones, Cookie, researching their novel
He drew marvelous comics and stories from an early age. His mum, Katie, recalled that she would often pull him from his art for a meal. He was a lifelong devotee of museums and art.
HE GREW up playing in the desert, loved to hike and remembered running barefoot to escape the wrath of an irate farmer when he and his buddies snitched a watermelon.
Despite chemotherapy and radiation which took the usual toll, Bill Jones, left,
continued to travel, here cruising the Caribbean with Cookie
and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Misha and David Minesinger.
He served in the U.S. Army in Korea, where his charm and good looks earned him a high prestige job of driver for the General's wife. He was a proud member of the color guard.
· HE EARNED a B.A. in English with
a philosophy minor. He was a fine
poet who also wrote and co-wrote several novels, including "Lilian's
Last Dance," which he and Cookie began in the 1990s and Cookie
revised and published in 2014.
· He marched to his own drummer, "cut his own trail," as they say in Montana, his second home.
· He wasn't easily labeled – a truly original thinker – with a sharp
intellect and cutting ironical wit.
Billy's hair was growing back, when he was able to take a six-month
trip after his surgery and treatment for cancer in 2003-4. Here
he and Cookie enjoy a stroll through Central Park in New York.
· His film reviews were concise, thoughtful and provocative, earning him a national reputation in his days with the Phoenix Gazette and Arizona Republic. He interviewed many 20th Century's greats of film and theater, from Katharine Hepburn to Robert DeNiro to Meryl Streep. He liked interviewing directors and particularly appreciated Martin Scorsese.
HE WAS a fan of John Updike's writings and interviewed him twice, treasuring complimentary notes from his favorite writer. He loved "Les Miserables," Stephen Sondheim's musicals, white wine and his retriever Ruth, who lived to be 17, "the longest relationship I had with a female."
He had two sons whom he loved and influenced. Christopher and Jason, both unique in their talents, pay honor to Bill's memory in their love of family, art and the natural world.
Bill Jones with his grandson Rowan Jones, in the back
yard in Phoenix, where Billy spent his last days.
His grandchildren didn't have him very long, but he loved knowing that they were on the planet!
Grandson, Rowan, visits "Bill's Hill and "Grandpa's Tree" in Sun Ray Park, Phoenix, keeping his memory alive. Bill was a devoted brother to sisters Karen and Marcia. He enjoyed "Siblings Night Out" and was proud to welcome daughters-in-law Katie and Carole
to the family.
HE MET Cookie on July 15, 1977, during a movie junket to London and the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
When their charter flight to England was delayed at JFK, Bill magically acquired a piano and Cookie
played show tunes for a reception hosted by United Artists. Bill and Cookie's first husband, Bruce
Meyers, became friends during film and theater
outings. After Bruce's death, Bill's and Cookie's friendship blossomed into romance and lasted until Bill's final day a decade ago. He died, full circle, on
the desert he loved, as she played "It Had to Be You."

publication of the novel Bill co-wrote:

Q: Simple issue with jQuery Accordion I have a simple jQuery accordion which works... almost perfectly :)
As you can see from the demo, I currently have the navigation "open" as I'm in the "Team" page.
Is it possible when I click 'About Us', it closes the element altogether. As you can see from the demo it closes it, but then quickly re-opens it. I guess this occurs because of the code on line 27 of my CSS.
Here is my demo: http://jsfiddle.net/URYzK/5/
Here is my JavaScript:
jQuery(function($) {

    $('#accordion > li > a').click(function (e) {
        if ($(this).next('ul').length == 0) {
            // link is for navigation, do not set up accordion here
            return;
        }

        // link is for accordion pane

        //remove all the "Over" class, so that the arrow reset to default
        $('#accordion > li > a').not(this).each(function () {
            if ($(this).attr('rel')!='') {
                $(this).removeClass($(this).attr('rel') + 'Over');
            }

            $(this).siblings('ul').slideUp("slow");
        });

        //showhide the selected submenu
        $(this).siblings('ul').slideToggle("slow");

        //addremove Over class, so that the arrow pointing downup
        $(this).toggleClass($(this).attr('rel') + 'Over');
        e.preventDefault();
    });

});

Many thanks for any help here.

A: Remove display:none from #accordian ul and remove the .children CSS entirely. I believe this creates the behavior you want. You were setting the children ul to be display:none, and then trying to force .children, which is a ul, to be display:block later, which is why they were fighting.
Updated your jsFiddle as well.

Q: Is there a way to obtain the location and file name of where a value is initialized in Rust? Is there a way to obtain the location and file name of where a value is initialized in Rust?  I'm aware of the file! and line! macros, but they provide information of where they're originally called and I'm looking to determine this information from where the value is initialized.  For example, the following code does not work, but is similar to what I'd like:
// Contains a value as well as where this value was initialized
struct Foo {
    value : usize,
    file : String,
    line : u32,
}
impl Foo {
    fn new(value : usize) -> Foo {
        Foo {
            value,
            file : String::from(std::file!()),
            line : std::line!(),
        }
    }
}

// Test the result
fn main() {
    let foo1 = Foo::new(0);
    println!("foo1 created in file \"{}\" line {}",foo1.file,foo1.line);
    let foo2 = Foo::new(1);
    println!("foo2 created in file \"{}\" line {}",foo2.file,foo2.line);
}

This returns
foo1 created in file "src/main.rs" line 12
foo2 created in file "src/main.rs" line 12

which doesn't contain the correct line number of the value creation.  I'm also trying to do this as transparently as possible, so that the macro doesn't need to typed out by the user for each value created.  As for why, I'm trying to insert some debugging information into a code and it would be helpful for the user to know where in the code the value was created.

A: You can do this by marking the function with the #[track_caller] attribute and using std::panic::Location::caller() instead of the file!() and line!() macros. This was originally designed for printing the location of panics, but it doesn't seem to be limited to that context.

BAE Systems Awarded Contract to Manufacture and Deliver Archerfish Mine Neutralisers
BAE Systems awarded contract to manufacture and deliver Archerfish mine neutralisers –Apr 19, 2016– Detroit, USA (Techreleased) – BAE Systems has been awarded a £15.5 million contract by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to manufacture and deliver Archerfish mine neutralisers, continuing its support to the U.S. Navy's minesweeping operation.
Archerfish is a remotely-controlled underwater vehicle equipped with an explosive warhead to destroy sea mines.
Capable of overcoming the threat of modern mines, Archerfish has formed a key part of the U.S. Navy's Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) programme since 2007. In addition to Archerfish mine neutralisers, manufactured at BAE Systems' Broad Oak facility in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, the contract also includes the supply of fibre-optic spools.
The fibre-optic spools provide a communications link between the Archerfish mine neutraliser and the launch platform, an MH-60S helicopter deployed from the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ships.
Developed by BAE Systems, Archerfish draws on the company's expertise and extensive technology in torpedoes, naval mines and minehunting. The Archerfish neutraliser provides significant time and logistical advantages over current Remotely Operated Vehicle mine disposal systems.
Deliveries to the U.S. Navy will begin in September 2017. The contract also includes further options which, if exercised by the DoD, could bring the total value to over £39 million.
Les Gregory, Product & Training Services Director at BAE Systems, said: "We are delighted to provide the Department of Defense with Archerfish neutralisers, and to continue supporting the U.S. Navy's work in clearing sea mines.
"This important contract demonstrates BAE Systems' ability to deliver equipment that provides greater security and resilience to modern threats around the world, and we look forward to meeting the U.S. Navy's demand for a first-class underwater defence capability for many years to come."

Final evaluation consultancy service
Comitato Collaborazione Medica
Project "Universal and equal access to quality health services, to meet the health needs of women and children in the Liben Zone (Somali Region, Ethiopia)" AID010595/CCM/ETH
Location: Filtu and Dekha Suftu Woreda (Somali Region)
Consultancy period: Between 15th August to 15th of September
Consultant service: 8.000€ (Euros) including flight, business visa and insurance
CCM provides accommodation and transport
Application documents: CV, Cover letter, methodology and final proposal
Deadline for application: 24th July 2019 at [email protected]
ONLY short listed candidate will be contacted
CCM, Comitato Collaborazione Medica, is a non for profit nongovernmental organisation founded in 1968 in Turin, by a group of medical doctors from Piedmont Region in Italy. Our key mission is to promote the right to health and ensure access to essential health care.
We are a lay and independent organisation, guided by the values of solidarity, equity, non-discrimination and cultural respect
We work through long term development projects, believing that health can be really promoted only with stable and durable interventions
In case of natural disasters or epidemics in the areas where we work, we implement emergency interventions
In regards to Ethiopia, CCM is registered in the country since 1998. CCM projects in Ethiopia aim at contributing to the promotion of a good health and quality of life for the poor and vulnerable people in the most remote areas of the country.
CCM is currently implementing the project "Universal and equal access to quality health services, to meet the health needs of women and children in the Liben Zone (Somali Region, Ethiopia)" started the 1st January 2016 and planned to be concluded on 31st October 2019.
The project is funded by AICS – Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione e lo Sviluppo (Italian Agency for the Development Cooperation), CCM own funds and other donors.
The project aims at ensuring women and children (extremely vulnerable groups in a semi-nomadic context, with a patriarchal tradition) access to quality primary health care services, through their active involvement. The intervention meets the needs identified by CCM, Filtu and Dekha Suftu Woreda Health Offices and recognized by the Somali Regional Health Bureau (SRHB), which put maternal, child and reproductive health among their priority actions for sustainable development in the area of intervention. In agreement with the institutional counterparts, the action proposes an integrated approach that strengthen service delivery at facility level and increase the demand of care at community level. The project focuses on both health services supply and demand, strongly involving the civil society and making beneficiaries and local organizations active protagonist of the action, in order to maximize efficiency and impact and ensure sustainability for the action.
The Overall Objective is to contribute to the improvement of health in Filtu and Dekha Suftu districts trough Primary Health Care integrated strategy to ensure continuity in treatments at both community and health facility level.
The Specific Objective is to improve the access to integrated maternal, child and reproductive health services (RMNCH) for women and children of Filtu and Dekha Suftu districts, and to make it universal and equal in order to increase the number of people benefiting from health services, favouring vulnerable groups and disadvantaged persons.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives and make women active in their search for preventive and curative services at health facilities, the project seeks to:
strengthen the prevention and care system at primary level, improving the quality of services in the health facilities and in the community;
increase women's trust in the health system and in health workers, involving Community Influential Leaders in the promotion of maternal health;
identify sustainable strategies to increase the access to services, by creating community health networks formed by community influential leaders and health workers and through mass awareness campaigns;
reinforce the capacities of local health authorities (WoHOs), by increasing their participation to the supervision of primary services and to the community coordination.
The specific objective is meant to be achieved through three Expected Results (ERs):
ER 1) The maternal, child and reproductive health services (MCRHS) are improved for the benefit of the whole population of Filtu and Dekha Suftu districts, without discrimination and with a special attention to the most vulnerable persons (pregnant women, women in the reproductive age and children, displaced persons and pastoral communities);
ER 2) The maternal, child and reproductive health integrated services medical coverage is expanded trough the strengthening of the reference system and the active involvement of the communities;
ER 3) Local health authorities are trained and able to programme, supervise and manage the services provided by the HFs.
The expected results and the project objectives are planned to be achieved through several activities, including a preliminary needs assessment to ensure a proper planning of project activities; the training of health workers in maternal and child health and in the management of complicated pregnancies and deliveries; the purchase and distribution of essential drugs and medical equipment; the rehabilitation of health facilities (minor rehabilitations), the creation of community network groups involving influential leader, Health Extension Workers, religious and kebele leaders, TBAs; the implementation of awareness raising campaigns on MCH and the continuous capacity development of local stakeholders to ensure proper ownership of the project. The proposal, designed and developed in close collaboration with the local health authorities, is based on the results achieved during previous projects implemented in the same area, also financed by AICS and the European Union.
Scope of the service
The service required is meant at producing the FINAL evaluation of the project "Universal and equal access to quality health services, to meet the health needs of women and children in the Liben Zone (Somali Region, Ethiopia)".
The objective of the evaluation is to fully review and assess the results achieved by the project during the period of implementation, as well as its impact and sustainability.
Moreover, the evaluation shall become a valuable exercise to generally assess CCM strategy and approach in the area of intervention, with specific reference to maternal and child health care. Recommendations and findings from the final evaluation will serve to support the planning and designing of any future actions in the same and similar context.
The external evaluation aims at getting a critical analysis on the project life cycle. It will therefore analyze and elaborate deeply on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, constraints and lessons learnt from the project, in order to:
Evaluate the relevance of the action, compared to project objective and assessed needs;
Evaluate the efficiency in the utilization of the resources availed by the donor;
Evaluate the effectiveness of the action carried out;
Evaluate the impact of the project in the catchment area;
Evaluate the sustainability of the project;
Evaluate lessons learnt and best practices, to be capitalized and replicated elsewhere.
Suggested methodology
The evaluation process should be impartial, independent must be as open as possible with respect to the results achieved and made available.
It is suggested to use a mix of qualitative and quantitative techniques internationally accepted and scientific tools based on verifiable data and information collection.
The evaluation must involve the beneficiaries, the local counterparts and institutions, donors and all the stakeholders able to provide learning that might be used to lead to a better efficiency and effectiveness in achieving shared results. It is recommended that the methodological tools are designed and adapted according to the features of each beneficiary group involved. In particular, the methodology must be gender-sensitive and ensure a balanced representation and participation by all community groups.
Data and secondary information shall be both provided by the contracting authority upon consultant/firm's request and directly collected during the field visits through the interviews with any responsible bureau and/or community group. The reliability of these sources can be subject to verification with any concerned entity, including the donor, local authorities, health facilities, other stakeholders and service provider agencies. Despite the shortcomings often identified in the system, data from the existing Health Management Information System (HMIS), adopted by the MOH at national and regional level, may also give an overview of the health services status in the area. These are the data used to set the baseline reported in the logical frame work of the project document and monitor any progress.
The evaluation techniques may include structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires, direct field observations, analysis and review of reference material and documents supplied by CCM in Filtu (Somali Region), Addis Ababa and Torino (Italy). Secondary data sources may also be consulted when appropriate in the interest of this final evaluation.
Other methodologies might be employed if considered necessary. Nevertheless, the final methodology designed by consultant should be discussed and agreed with CCM and, if needed, with the donor, before commencement of the final evaluation.
In any case, the methodology should at least include:
In-depth review of the project documents; progress technical, financial and activity reports including monitoring reports by the NGO, AICS and any other actor;

Steven Charles Watkins Jr. (born September 18, 1976) is an American politician and former military officer. He served as the U.S. representative for Kansas's  from 2019 to 2021. He is a member of the Republican Party, and was succeeded by Jake LaTurner. He earned degrees from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and Harvard.

Career
Born on September 18, 1976 at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, Watkins attended high school in Topeka, Kansas and left to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, graduating in 1999.

Watkins is a graduate of the following military schools: Ranger, Airborne, Sapper, Air Assault, and Pathfinder. He was stationed at Fort Richardson in Alaska in 2000. He saw combat in 2004 in Khost Province and conducted combat patrols on the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, attaining the rank of captain. He began running dogs in Alaska in 2000, and competed in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. He finished in 58th place in 2015, ninth from last, and almost four days behind the top three mushers. He did not finish the race in March 2018, having dropped out at Unalakleet,  from the finish in Nome.

Watkins spent five years on active duty with the United States Army. After this, he began working as a defense contractor in Afghanistan, beginning in late 2004. In a 2015 Washington Post interview, he said he had suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2013, and had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder almost a decade prior. He told reporters his injury was a "tipping point" propelling him in the direction of "a more conventional life".

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2018

Watkins' father, a physician, set up a political action committee (PAC) to underwrite his son's primary campaign. It made two initial $64,000 advertising purchases during the primary. Local Republican Party leaders expressed concerns about Watkins' background. Kansas state Senator Steve Fitzgerald, a primary candidate, noted that Watkins had never voted in Kansas until a recent local election. In July, Donald Trump's 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, stated that Watkins and a second candidate for the seat, Dennis Pyle, had put out campaign ads with Trump's photo on them, without authorization, to imply that they had been endorsed by the president. Watkins was endorsed by U.S. Representative Roger Marshall from Kansas Congressional District 1.

Watkins won the primary with 26.5% of the vote, defeating six other candidates. His family's Super PAC had spent $710,010 supporting his candidacy, and $35,860 opposing Caryn Tyson, the Parscale-endorsed primary candidate who finished second.

In October 2018, the Associated Press published a story questioning a number of details of Watkins' claimed background, including a debunked assertion which he had made on his website that he had been praised by outfitter Guy Cotter for his leadership among climbers on Mount Everest after the Nepal earthquake. Cotter claimed that he had never made the statement, and the assertion was removed from Watkins's website after the story was published. A New Zealand Herald story indicated that Watkins was 600 meters above the South Base Camp when the latter was hit by a deadly landslide and avalanche.

Five weeks before the 2018 general election, the Kansas City Star reported that Watkins had claimed to have established a corporation when he had actually only consulted with the corporation long after it had been incorporated. Watkins' campaign described the accusations as "fake news", and Watkins himself called them "baseless opinions from people who don't know me".

Watkins's residence in Kansas was disputed due to his supposed residence in Alaska. Watkins owned two homes in Alaska, but did not own a home in Kansas. Also, he had applied for the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend (a payment to those who say they plan to live in the state indefinitely have maintained residence for one year) 11 times. An open letter signed by local GOP leaders expressing concern regarding Watkins's absence from his district was made public days before the seven-way primary. According to the Associated Press, "public records show the 42-year-old Army veteran hadn't lived in Kansas since he left high school — nearly two decades before returning to the state last year to run for Congress".

Watkins's 2018 general election campaign against moderate Democrat Paul Davis was described in the U.S. News & World Report as "one of the most negative and competitive congressional races in the country". The candidates debated on October 3, agreeing on a need to protect Social Security, but disagreeing on immigration. Watkins said he was in favor of Trump's proposed border wall, saying, "That doesn't make us mean-spirited or the racist bigots that some leftists would have you believe. It's just common sense." He called for restricting health care spending, but protecting Social Security. On October 6, 2018, President Trump spoke at a rally in Topeka, Kansas in favor of Watkins and gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach, who later lost. Trump said that voting for Davis "is a vote for the radical agenda" of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and "the legendary Maxine Waters," a California congresswoman. The paper wrote that "even a moment's attention from the president was the best thing that could have happened to [Watkins'] campaign."

In October 2018, Chelsea Scarlett, an Alaska resident who had worked on the same military base as Watkins, accused Watkins of making unwanted sexual advances. Scarlett said she did not file a complaint at the time of the incident in 2006 for fear of losing her job. Watkins denied the allegations with the response: "These charges are so preposterous they don't deserve the dignity of a response or publication, but Republicans face this kind of assault from the media every day."

On November 6, 2018, Watkins defeated Davis by 0.8 percentage points, taking all but the two most populous and urbanized counties – Shawnee (home to Topeka) and Douglas (home to Lawrence) – which Davis won by wide margins.

2020

In 2019, Republican leaders searched for a primary opponent to run against Watkins in 2020. Former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer urged State Treasurer Jake LaTurner to drop his U.S. Senate candidacy and instead run for the District 2 seat. Colyer noted that LaTurner had $470,000 in his campaign treasury, while Watkins, a "vulnerable" candidate, had only $260,000 remaining in his. Watkins stated that the party's misgivings about his candidacy were due to his "outsider" status. After dropping out of the 2020 U.S. Senate race, LaTurner opted to challenge Watkins instead.

On August 4, 2020, Watkins—who had been hit with felony voter fraud charges the previous month—lost the Republican primary to LaTurner. LaTurner went on to defeat Democratic Topeka Mayor Michelle De La Isla in the November 3 general election.

Tenure
According to a letter filed with the FEC, Watkins forgave $225,100 that he had loaned his campaign in 2018. His personal loans represented much of what he had declared as his wealth that year.

On October 23, 2019, Watkins was one of about thirty House Republicans that intruded upon that day's confidential hearing in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) where Republican and Democratic congressional members had been taking testimony from Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper. Watkins had permission to enter the secure room as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "As one of the few Members allowed in Schiff's secret bunker, I'm proud to support my colleagues who entered the SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) today in search of transparency and due process amid Schiff's Kangaroo court," said Watkins. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson wrote to the House Sergeant-at-Arms about Jordan and others, requesting that he take action regarding their "unprecedented breach of security". South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham admonished his House colleagues for their tactic, calling them "nuts" for having made a "run on the SCIF". The disruption delayed Cooper's testimony by many hours.

Between October 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, Watkins spent $400,000 in taxpayer-funded radio ads and mailed communications to his constituents. That compares to  $33,000 spent on franking in the same period by Democratic Representative Sharice Davids in the adjacent Third Congressional District, and the other two Kansas Republican congressmen, $75,000 for Roger Marshall, and $100,000 for Ron Estes in the same period. The total did not include the cost of radio spots that ran frequently in the second quarter of 2020.

In 2020, the FEC reviewed campaign contributions made by Watkins' father and investigated the role the Watkins family's money played in Watkins's election. Watkins Sr. had contributed $765,000 into a PAC funding the 2018 race.

Committee assignments
Watkins' Committee assignments are,

Foreign Affairs
Subcommittee on Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism
Education & Labor
Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions
Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Investment
Veteran Affairs
Subcommittee on Technology Modernization
Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs

Allegations of voter fraud
In December 2019, Watkins was accused of voter fraud and election perjury after the Topeka address he listed as his place of residency on his voter registration turned out to be a UPS Store. Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay and county sheriff Brian Hill investigated whether Watkins had broken state law. According to State Rep. Blake Carpenter (R-Derby), "Unless I'm mistaken, no one can live at a UPS store. It cannot be a place of residence. This person undoubtedly voted in an election in November for candidates that he had no constitutional right to vote for. This is wrong and illegal. No one should be above the law."

Watkins' chief of staff denied criticism by stating that the issue as an overreaction to a simple mistake: "He just filed it incorrectly. I think that's a little ludicrous," while Watkins said they were "very suspicious" and said he looked forward to clearing his name; he added, "This is clearly hyper-political. It comes out moments before our first debate and three weeks before the election. I haven't done anything wrong." Days later, Watkins stepped down from his assigned congressional committees.

On July 14, 2020, Kagay charged Watkins with "interference with law enforcement, providing false information; voting without being qualified; unlawful advance voting; and failing to notify the DMV of change of address". Three of the alleged offenses were felonies, while the other was a misdemeanor. Watkins is alleged to have voted unlawfully in a November 2019 Topeka City Council race and to have attempted to mislead a sheriff's detective.

In March 2021, Watkins agreed to enter a diversion program and defer prosecution for six months; if he successfully completes the program the charges will be dropped. "I regret the error in my voter registration paperwork that led to these charges", he said. "I fully cooperated from the beginning and had no intent to deceive any one, at any time." He also admitted that he had lied to the detective when he denied having voted in Topeka's municipal elections. Since 2021, all charges against Watkins have been dismissed.

Personal
Watkins was married to Fong Liu, an obstetrician/gynecologist.

Abstract: The records of the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation document the establishment, operation, and decline of the business from its beginning to its dissolution.
The records of the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation document the establishment, operation, and decline of the business from its beginning to its dissolution. The collection is divided into three series.
Series I. Administrative Records documents actions taken towards the establishment and running of the corporation. The record books and correspondence include the Act of Incorporation; rules and regulations, reports of committees, pertinent notes; proxies; and list of subscribers. Located here is also a list of the "Original Petitioners for the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation."
Contained in the folder of legal papers are indentures, agreements, legal notices, and papers covering legal actions taken relative to compensation for damages to various parties as a result of laying out the turnpike. Also included is a copy of an opinion rendered by Daniel Webster in 1822 on an indenture entered between John Pickering and directors of the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation.
Financial papers include yearly summaries of tolls, receipts and expenditures, net income and related information. These include returns made to the Commonwealth, conforming to a requirement of the Act of Incorporation that a report of the receipts and expenditures be submitted annually to the Governor and Council. Also noted on some of these papers is the original cost for the road and bridge.
Series II. Business Records contains a small amount of business correspondence (mostly relating to the rental of the Lynn Hotel on The Salem Turnpike); accounts books for Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation; a summary list of cattle, tools, and sundry articles sold at Lynn and Charlestown auctions; and miscellaneous papers which contain various notes, accounts and miscellaneous items. Some of these papers appear to be related to the possibility of the proposed Eastern Railroad harming the Turnpike's business.
Series III. Toll Records consists of the daily, weekly, and quarterly summaries of toll collections made on both the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge. The daily and weekly collection accounts show the number, toll charge, and types of passage (such as coaches, chariots, carts, wagons, chaises, etc.,) Although both the turnpike and the bridge each have quarterly summaries, the toll books included in the collection are much more extensive for the turnpike than for the bridge.
In 1801, Edward Augustus Holyoke, William Gray, Jr., Nathan Dane, Jacob Ashton, and Israel Thorndike petitioned the legislature for the construction of the Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge. The proposed turnpike was to start at Buffam's Corner, Boston and Essex Streets in Salem, and continued from there through Lynn, along Western Avenue, over the Saugus River, and then to the Chelsea side, north of and near to the Navy Yard, and from there to the Charles River Bridge in Charlestown. The construction was to include building bridges over the rivers and waterways along the route. The bridge to be constructed over the Mystic River was the Chelsea Bridge and it appears to have been generally where the present Tobin Bridge is now located.
After a successful campaign, Dr. Holyoke and Associates were able to obtain a resolution to all the objections. The Act of Incorporation includes a provision that the Malden Bridge Corporation was to own half of the Chelsea Bridge (but retain no corporate powers), to receive half of the dividends of the Chelsea Bridge, and to pay half of the expenses. See the Chelsea Bridge account book, 1808-1845, for the Malden Bridge Corporation's share of the dividends.
The Salem Turnpike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation continued for many years. On October 28, 1875, the directors voted that the president be authorized to petition the Supreme Judicial Court for a dissolution of the corporation. The last entry in the record book, December 9, 1875, contains a vote by the directors to offer their books to the Essex Institute.

Colorado State Basketball
Colorado State Upset No. 21 New Mexico, 71-63
By Jeremy Mauss@JeremyMauss Feb 22, 2012, 7:52am PST
Share All sharing options for: Colorado State Upset No. 21 New Mexico, 71-63
The Colorado St. Rams notched their second win over a ranked opponent when they upset No. 21 New Mexico Lobos 71-63 at home Tuesday night. Colorado State had three players score in double figures with Dwight Smith scoring a game high 17 points. During the first half it was clear that Colorado State was outplaying New Mexico as the the Rams led by seven points at two different points in the first half, and New Mexico had a run to end the first half to get within one point of Colorado State.
The second half was close for the first five minutes as New Mexico was able to take a two-point lead over Colorado State as the Rams went on a stretch of three minutes without scoring any points. Greg Smith put Colorado State back on the board with a jumper and started a 9-0 run to put Colorado State up 43-36. New Mexico would hang around and have a 9-3 run to tie the game at 46, but Jesse Carr ended that run by hitting a three-pointer to give Colorado State the lead for good.
Colorado State's defense was amazing in this game as they forced New Mexico into 17 turnovers and held them to 36 percent shooting on the night. New Mexico tried to get back in the game with three-point shooting but they only managed to go six-of-23 on the night. The aggressiveness by Colorado State on both ends of the floor led to the win. On offense Colorado State was attacking the basket which in return sent them to the free throw line where they made 20-of-23, and Pierce Hornung was able to out rebound the smaller New Mexico lineup with five offensive boards and 15 overall.
Not to make excuses for New Mexico, but perhaps they were looking past Colorado State since they just smoked UNLV on CBS over the weekend, however they forgot that Colorado State has lost only one home game all season.
This is a signature win that Colorado State desperately needed as it bolstered their NCAA tournament resume with two wins over teams ranked in the top-50 in the RPI with Tuesday's win and the prior win against San Diego State. The question now comes down to if the NCAA tournament selection committee will put four Mountain West teams in the tournament, and they may not since the top four teams have been inconsistent in league play. Some will surely argue that the league is not as good as people think, and others will argue that nearly all leagues have parity at the top of their leagues. The tournament committee will need to decide which one it is.
Another thing hurting Colorado State is that the history is not there with the Mountain West, especially since Utah and BYU are no longer in the league. Colorado State does not have much of a history compared to UNLV, San Diego State and New Mexico, so name recognition might play a difference even though it shouldn't. Colorado State still has chances for more marquee wins when the travel to San Diego State and host UNLV before ending the season at Air Force. Colorado State has the RPI -- which was 29 before the win over New Mexico -- for an at-large berth, but another win over a ranked opponent will go a long way toward earning an NCAA tournament berth.
For what it's worth ESPN's Joe Lunardi has a quick Bracketology update and he has four Mountain West teams in, which means that Colorado State is back in the running for an at-large bid.

Cambodia's UN-backed court for the Khmer Rouge gave its final verdict on September 22, ending 16 years of work with a ruling on the last surviving regime leader's appeal against his conviction for genocide.

The ECCC Begins Winding Down: In Cambodia, a Hybrid Tribunal's Hybrid Legacy
On Sep. 22, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) rendered the summary of its last substantive judgment in Case 002/02 – its most complex and second case to date – against Kheiu Samphan, the former Head of State of Democratic Kampuchea.
Case 002/02 is also ECCC's last case and while it is important in its own right (and will be the subject of its own article, forthcoming), this article addresses the decision(s) by the ECCC to drop the prosecution of the remaining suspects in Cases 003 and 004. Thus, the Supreme Court Chamber's (SCC) Appeal Judgment in Case 002/02 signals the end of the ECCC's prosecution of those responsible for the crimes committed during the 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge rule when one-fifth of Cambodia's population (almost 2 million people) perished.
Besides Cases 001 and 002, the ECCC in its early stages envisioned at least two more cases: Cases 003 and 004. However, the procedural impasse at the Chambers, stimulated by domestic politics and played out through the tactics of ECCC's national component, brought 13 years of investigations and procedure in Cases 003 and 004 – kept alive mainly due to ECCC's default mechanism (see Judge Maureen Harding Clark, dissenting opinion, para. 8) – to an (unjust and unjustifiable) dead end: termination in "the absence of a definite and enforceable indictment."
