First things first: as of January 1, 2018, hourly workers in Washington State now get access to paid sick days when they're sick. This huge step forward for workers' rights and public health was part of Initiative 1433, the same ballot measure that also raised the statewide minimum wage. And we are proud to say that Working Washington was a key part of the coalition that got Initiative 1433 passed into law.
Here are the six key things every worker needs to know about paid sick days in Washington State. If any of these things aren't happening at your job, let us know about it.
1. Your employer is required to tell you how much paid sick time you have earned.
Employers will typically include your accrued sick time on your pay stub, and they need to update that information at least monthly.
2. You earn a minimum of 1 hour of sick time for every 40 hours you work.
If you work full-time, this adds up to about six and a half sick days over the course of a year. If you don't use all your time one year, up to 40 hours of sick time can roll over into the next year.
3. You can take sick time if you're sick (duh), for a medical appointment, to care for a family member, or for absences related to domestic violence.
You must be allowed to use your paid sick time after 90 days of employment.
4. Your employer cannot require you to find someone to cover your shift if you're using sick time.
However, they can allow you to swap shifts with a co-worker if that works best for everyone.
5. You cannot be disciplined in any way for using sick time.
Taking sick time cannot be counted against you, even if your employer uses an "occurrence" system.
6. It doesn't matter if your employer is large or small, or if you work part-time or seasonally: if you are an employee in Washington State, you get paid sick time.
Are any of these things not happening at your job? Let us know and we can do something about it.


Warren Dailey dons two different uniforms on most days during the spring.
One of them has a ball cap. The other has a badge.
Dailey enters his third season as head baseball coach at Southwood Junior/Senior High School in Wabash, Ind., in 2019.
As a patrolman for the Marion Police Department working third shift, Dailey sometimes goes right from a game to the beat.
He efficiently juggles the two roles.
"I do what I can in the time that I have," says Dailey, a former high school and college player.
Dailey is a 2001 graduate of Eastbrook High School in Marion, Ind., where he played for head coach Brian Abbott.
As a college player, Dailey spent one season at Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne for head coach Billy Gernon (now head coach at Western Michigan University) and two at Indiana Wesleyan University for head coach Mark DeMichael (now IWU athletic director).
DeMichael often coached 30 or more players and had just one assistant. Dailey still marvels at that.
"You need to surround yourself with plenty of good people," says Dailey, whose 2019 Southwood staff includes Dalton Gentry, Cory Blocker, David Glickfield and E.J. Devarie.
Gentry (a Southwood graduate), Blocker and Glickfield are back for their third seasons with Dailey. Devarie is entering his first season.
Dailey was as assistant for two seasons at Eastbrook — one on the staff of Ben Irwin and one working with David Day. He spent one season as an assistant to Bengie Rodriguez at Madison-Grant before joining head coach Kris Holtzleiter at Southwood, beginning with the 2013 season. Holtzleiter is now an assistant at Indiana Wesleyan University.
During Dailey's time on the staff, Southwood has produced three Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association all-stars — outfielder Jackson Blair (2014), pitcher Robbie Cole (2015) and first baseman Clay Hinrichsen (2016). Left-hander Brennan Kelly is on the baseball roster at Eastern Kentucky University.
Southwood (enrollment around 280) is a member of the Three Rivers Conference (with Maconaquah, Manchester, Northfield, North Miami, Peru, Rochester, Tippecanoe Valley, Wabash and Whitko). TRC games are played on Mondays and Wednesdays with each team playing one another once to determine a champion. The Knights reigned as conference champions in 2015 (7-0) and 2016 (7-2 after Maconaquah and Peru joined the TRC).
Dailey says the last week of the conference season has often been crazy with an unexpected result tightening the race.
Southwood has been invited again to participate in the Fort Wayne TinCaps/Parkview Sports Medicine High School Baseball Series at Parkview Field in Fort Wayne. Wabash County Night is slated for Thursday, May 9 with Southwood taking on Wabash at 4:30 p.m., followed by Northfield vs. Manchester around 7.
Among non-conference opponents on Southwood's schedule are Alexandria-Monroe, Blackford, Bluffton, Eastbrook, Eastern, Fort Wayne Bishop Luers, Huntington North, Marion, Mississinewa, Oak Hill, Taylor and Western.
The Knights are part of an IHSAA Class 1A sectional grouping with Caston, North Miami, North White, Northfield, South Newton and West Central. Southwood has won four sectional championships — the last in 2014.
Multiple-sport athletes are the norm at Southwood. Dailey sees a handful of athletes at fall and winter baseball workouts.
"I encourage our guys to do as many sports as they're able to," says Dailey, who plans to approach Knights head boys basketball coach John Burrus soon about giving some of his pitchers some time to throw so March 11 (the first official preseason practice date) is not the first time they've touched a baseball in months.
Last winter, Southwood had a prolonged basketball run, finishing as 2018 Class 1A state runners-up. Neighboring Oak Hill, coached by Shane Edwards, started its baseball season a little later than originally scheduled after a Class 2A state championship run on the hardwood.
The Knights play their home baseball games on a field affectionately known as "The Launching Pad" for its smallish dimensions.
There are a fair number of home runs clubbed at the field, which has a pasture beyond left field and a storage barn down the right field line which sometimes creates a bit of a wind tunnel.
Dailey says the administration considered moving home plate back, but that meant re-doing the infield so the plan never gained any traction.
While there is no junior high baseball at Southwood (the idea has been kicked around), there is the Wabash Little League and Wabash Babe Ruth League prepping younger players.
The Babe Ruth League feeds three area high schools — Southwood, Northfield and Wabash. A few years ago, players were separated based on their high school affiliation and the high school head coach is responsible for finding the head head coach. For Southwood, that's former Knights player Christian Dieter (who played for head coach Holtzeiter and assistant Dailey).
There are usually about six league teams — one or two for Southwood, two for Northfield and two or three for Wabash. There also some players from the surrounding area that will end up at Maconaquah, Manchester or Peru.
Zach Dials, a 2003 Southwood graduate, was selected in the 28th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays out of the University of Kentucky. A right-handed pitcher, he was a first-team all-state selection as a senior and played at John A. Logan College before UK. He appeared in 157 professional games through 2010.
Warren and Kelly Dailey live in Sweetser, Ind., and have four children — Corbin (11), Brianna (8), Chase (6) and Knox (4).
Corbin, Knox, Brianna and Chase Dailey hang out with "The Colonel." They are the children of Warren and Kelly Dailey. Warren Dailey is head baseball coach at Southwood Junior/Senior High School in Wabash, Ind., and a patrolman with the Marian Police Department.

Reel Dread
By Desmond Reddick
16 April 2007 � I have been ill more days than not since September. A mixture of having a child in daycare and teaching high school exposes me to every germ floating through this dreadful city. The thing with me is that every time I get sick it turns into a virus. Currently an infection has me bleeding from the nose at random intervals. Yesterday at work, when a co-worker heard of my illness she stepped back in disgust and used her two index fingers as a crucifix. This single act sparked this week's column: an analysis of infection in horror cinema.
There has always been a fear of sickness. From the plagues of the Old Testament to the modern fear of AIDS, there can be no argument against humanity's intense fear of illness. But it is a rational fear. Never is this fear more prevalently expressed than in the horror genre.
The early horror films of the German Expressionist movement had illness as a theme. Cesare of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was a comatose sleepwalker whose bouts of sleepwalking resulted in murder. Count Orlok from Nosferatu appeared rat-like and sucked the blood of his victims like a leech. Of course, further vampire films would add vampirism as an infection to the mythos. Werewolves are also treated as an infection, an incurable one at that. While zombies were originally portrayed in films like White Zombie as victims of voodoo, films like Night of the Living Dead � and almost every zombie film since � had zombies as a roving infection. These icons of horror cinema all portray a vision of sickness that carries on still today.
The above are all examples of sickness (and the fear of it) personified. Often, the home is the refuge from these representations. Especially in the case of vampires; one must invite a vampire into their home. Does this mean that you bring sickness upon yourself? Maybe. It may also mean that society views the sick as something outside the norm. One cannot know sickness until it hits them at home. Take, for example, the Cooper family in Night of the Living Dead. When a child is ill it consumes the entire world of the family, so when a vampire or zombie infects a child the entire family soon falls prey to it.
Most of this has, of course, sexual connotations. Horror has always been a genre laden with morality tales. This is why the chaste, virginal girl always survives. She is not corrupted, she's clean and pure. Those around her engage in "immoral" activities, and wind up punished for their deeds. This, however, is a conversation for another column. As for the topic at hand, throughout history and cinema there is a very clear connection between intimacy and disease � one which usually involves monsters in one form or another.
Going back to the home as a metaphor for health and safety, the invasion of the home is an invasion of health. It unnerves us as humans to think that our refuge has been invaded. Think only of the emotional trauma one goes through when their home has been broken into. Or, taking it to extremes, in the final story of the Stephen King / George Romero collaboration Creepshow; a man whose home is safeguarded and sterilized against the infestation of insects finds that his bad deeds led to the infestation from within. The insects emerging from his body represent impurity. Whether we find the threat from outside the home or inside ourselves, these physical representations are intended to make us think twice about our actions.
Metaphors and analogues are not the only way that horror cinema deals with sickness. On occasion, the sickness itself becomes the threat. I would argue that it is almost always more effective in the literal representation than in the metaphorical. The portrayal of actual sickness in film is as harrowing in Ben-Hur's lepers as it is in Cabin Fever. Cabin Fever is actually a terrifying example of nubile young teenagers trying their damnedest to avoid a violent, Ebola-type illness. Besides its ridiculous ending, the rest of the film is skin-crawlingly bleak in its depiction of a "Ten Little Indians" situation reminiscent of Carpenter's The Thing. (That, by the way, is the only time you'll ever see a comparison between Cabin Fever and The Thing.) The situation is never tenser than when two people are trying to evade a highly contagious airborne disease � neither knowing if the other is infected. Cabin Fever, and most of the films depicting literal sickness, also use the home as a key plot point. Whether it's the cabin in the woods, the isolated Antarctic research center or a decadent castle, doors can't keep plagues out for long.
Cinema's greatest portrayal of straight ahead sickness is Roger Corman's 1964 Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, The Masque of the Red Death. This faithful version of the classic short story depicts a satanic Prince of a medieval kingdom � played by Vincent Price in one of his best roles � inviting noblemen to his castle to wait out the passing of a terrible plague: the Red Death. Their nights are spent in orgiastic reverie, decadence and debauchery. Their wild abandon not only blinds them to their eventual fate, it allows for a veiled morality tale. But the morality tale falls on deaf ears when one looks back to the beginning of the story where we see innocent villagers ravaged by the merciless Red Death. The haunting scene of the Red Death handing the old woman a rose is a beautiful and cruel reminder of how relentless nature can be. Disease, in this film as in life, is not a vengeful spirit meting out justice; it is an uncompromising force of nature � and it's efficient.
Illness in cinema is often used to illustrate our wrongdoings. As in life, it is a warning. If you smoke, you may get cancer. Sleep around, one or many STDs. Drink too much: liver failure. In a way, your body is saying, "Stop that!" In film, as we've seen, it is used in the same way; those who stay behind to have premarital sex will be the first to be swarmed by flesh-hungry zombies. That is just the way it is.
It's now getting late and something is scratching at my kitchen window. So before my immune system completely unravels, I'm going to my sick bed. Stay healthy.

What Distance Is
cevans | February 15, 2013
What is distance? There's the distance between people, who subconsciously space themselves apart, providing a reliable visual matrix of intimacy. It's no coincidence we use the word "close" to describe our most intimate relationships: to whisper and caress, we draw near to one another, less than six inches apart. For chatter amongst personal friends, the norm ranges from 1.5 to four feet. The more estranged, the farther away we shrink. Social distance for interactions among acquaintances overlaps with the previous category, but ranges outwards to nearly twelve feet. Of course, we don't always…
Beauty Encapsulated
kcollins | December 30, 2011
By Joe Schwarcz PhD, Author, USASEF Expo Performer, AT&T Sponsored Nifty Fifty Program SpeakerThey sold out after just four hours. And they weren't even hotcakes. They were just little capsules. But these capsules came with a nifty promise. Pop some, and wrinkles, those fearsome hallmarks of aging, would be ironed out from the inside! Cleverly named "Strength Within," the contents were the product of at least five years of research by a team of scientists at Unilever's laboratories in the UK. When word leaked out last September that the beauty pills would be test-marketed for two…
Intestinal Directions
milhayser | August 19, 2011
On Pharyngula, PZ Myers reports that the curling and packing of intestines (which in humans grow to over twenty feet long) follows "simple mathematical rules" akin to "the Fibonacci spirals we see in the head of a sunflower or the coils of a nautilus shell." Researchers successfully recreated the characteristic curves of a chick gut using lifeless rubber simulacra, and also predicted them using computer models, proving that although every species has its own stereotypical pattern of gut construction, DNA is not the architect. And in an older post on Dean's Corner, Dr. Jeffrey Toney shares…
The Fine Art of Reblogitation and Going Ape for Miss USA
vlicata | June 23, 2011
Reblogitation (pronounced with a "j" sound for the "g", of course): the blogospheric phenomenon of reposting, and re-reposting, and re-re-reposting the information from the "apparent first" or "most snarky" report (or blog post) about a news item. Mother-post: the "apparent first" or "most snarky" report of an item, that then provides "the facts" for most of the other stories about that item online (even those that don't reference or link to the mother-post). The flurry of recent news about the question "Should evolution be taught in public schools?" that was asked of the recent crop of MIss…
The Speed of Money
vlicata | August 30, 2010
Wow! Either it's an odd coincidence, or the Latisse marketers are highly vigilant monetizers, because in less than 24 hours after I posted yesterday's rambling little piece about the eyelash wonder drug, a tasteful little ad for it showed up on the Scienceblogs homepage (cue spooky music now). Robot voice: "Oh yes, I will go buy Latisse now." I will try it on my cats, because I have always thought that cats with long eyelashes are wickedly beautiful. But, Latisse, your ad says "ask your doctor about Latisse" -- I'm a bit disappointed. How could you pass up such a ripe possibility for pun…
Latisse!
The existence of the drug Latisse is clearly a harbinger of the end of modern civilization, in more ways than one, but it is also intensely fascinating and creepy. When I first heard of it, about a year ago, I really thought it was some sort of satirical article about the current status of big pharma and their slow but steady drift towards more (and more profitable) "lifestyle" medications. But no...it's frickin' real! Its original use was (is) to control glaucoma, but it was noticed that a side effect of such treatment was long and luxurious eyelashes. So, since about the beginning of…
Living Naturally in a Synthetic World
cagapakis | July 22, 2010
GOOD has an interesting series of articles called No More Dirty Looks about the cosmetics that we use every day and what options are available for safer, more environmentally sound beauty products, without any toxic carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, or petrochemicals. Yesterday they linked to a terrifying video from The Story of Stuff Project describing the limits of regulation on toxic chemicals used in everyday products from lipstick to baby shampoo: The best line of the video I think comes in about halfway through, when talking about hair relaxers and skin whiteners advertised to young…
Nuclear is not "the answer"; slowing down in a sped-up culture is an act of resistance; and more from Rebecca Solnit

Women getting better looking, the paper....
razib | July 28, 2009
Update: The author of the paper clears up confusions. Follow up to the post yesterday, here's the paper, Physical attractiveness and reproductive success in humans: evidence from the late 20th century United States: Physical attractiveness has been associated with mating behavior, but its role in reproductive success of contemporary humans has received surprisingly little attention. In the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (1244 women, 997 men born between 1937 and 1940), we examined whether attractiveness assessed from photographs taken at age â¼18 years predicted the number of biological…
Are women getting better looking?
Update: The author of the paper clears up confusions. Update: Here's the paper. End Update The British media is abuzz with another paper from Satoshi Kanazawa, the evolutionary psychologist who has great marketing savvy. I can't find the study online anyway, so here is the Times Online: In a study released last week, Markus Jokela, a researcher at the University of Helsinki, found beautiful women had up to 16% more children than their plainer counterparts. He used data gathered in America, in which 1,244 women and 997 men were followed through four decades of life. Their attractiveness was…
I am bad at math. Even worse, I don't have a scrotum.
bioephemera | April 3, 2009
At 3quarksdaily, Sam Kean has an interesting essay on the future of theoretical mathematics, whether computers capable of generating proofs will supplant human mathematicians, and what that will mean for the "beauty" of math: There's general consensus that really genius-level mathematics is beautiful--purely and uncorruptedly beautiful, the way colored light is, or angels. More particularly, it's regarded as beautiful in a way that science is not. With a few exceptions--Einstein's theories of relativity, string theory, maybe Newton and Darwin--no matter how much science impresses people, it…
The Evolution of Beauty
sheril | March 18, 2009
A couple weeks back, I composed a post entitled 'Science Reveals How To Lose Weight And Keep It Off'. The results weren't surprising... research out of Harvard found that calories are the most significant part of the equation. However, what really resonated with a number of readers turned out to be a different topic related to this point: Weightwise, my take is that we humans have an interesting habit of coming in all shapes and sizes and the most beautiful tend not to fit a particular mold. That said, being healthy--inside and out--is everything. I received several emails in agreement, and…
Science Reveals How To Lose Weight And Keep It Off
sheril | February 26, 2009
Well, it was a long time coming. Between the myriad of diet plans on television, magazines, online, and everywhere, someone was bound to finally come up with conclusive evidence on what works and how to make sense of all the (excuse the term) dietary diarrhea. No doubt, you've also noticed that low-fat, high fiber, extra protein, pills, germs, and steel floods every sensory organ we have on a hourly basis. Personally, I've never been all that interested in skinny, but healthy suits me just fine. I'm not one for regiments or counting calories, but do give thought to what I consume and prefer…

Welcome back to part 2 of our vSphere .NET application development series. In part 1, we wrote an application that displays the VM's, Hosts, and Clusters in our vCenter using the VMware.VIM library. Today, we're going to build upon that application by adding the ability to view information about a VM and change its power state. By adding these features, we'll gain a valuable understanding of the information and tasks available through this API.
To create the VM information window we need to add a new Windows form to our project.
We'll call this new form aboutVM.
Layout the form with three labels and two buttons as shown below.
Open the code view for our Inventory form so we can create the actions for when the user double clicks on the lbVM listbox.
First, create a new MouseEventHandler for lbVM_DoubleClick. Add this just after the line where we initialize our Inventory form.
Now we need to find and extract the virtual machine that our user double clicks on. We'll do this by using the FindAll method to identify the vm where .Name is the same as the item selected in the lbVM list box. You might think we'd search against vmlist, but the problem is this list is type EntitiyViewBase which does not contain a definition for Name.
Instead, we'll need to create a new list of type VirtualMachine.
Since each vm in our foreach loop is already of type VirtualMachine, we can simply add each vm into our vmObjects list! It's so simple it's ludicrous!
There are may ways we can pass objects between our two forms, but the simplest is to create a public class called sharedObjects. Within this class we'll create a public static VirtualMachine object.
Now, add the FindAll line to the lbVM_DoubleClick codeblock. We specify that we only want one object returned by using the FirstOrDefault method.
If we don't include the FirstOrDefault method, Visual Studio assumes that we want to convert a list to a single object which will break the build.
The last thing we need to do here is open the aboutVM form.
We're done with our inventory form for the moment, so let's focus on the aboutVM form. Open the code for our aboutVM form and add a reference to the VMware.Vim namespace.
We want our labels to display something useful such as our VM's name, the number of CPU's, and how much memory it has. This is very simple to do since we made the selectedVM object static.
lblName will display the name of the VM by collecting the selectedVM.Name from our sharedObjects class.
Update the lblCPU and lblMem labels. selectedVM.Config.Hardware.NumCPU will return the number of CPU's our VM has, and selectedVM.Config.Hardware.MemoryMB will return the amount of memory in MB. Notice we can append text to the returned values as long as we convert them to strings.
You might be wondering how I found out that the CPU configuration is Config.Hardware.NumCPU. Intellisense will give you a pretty good idea, but let's take a moment and I'll show you how to use breakpoints to gather this information.
Open the Inventory form's code and click in the grey column on the left next to line 93 where we create the new aboutform.
You should now see a giant red dot. This is our breakpoint. This will pause our code before executing this line so we can see what's happening with our objects.
Run the application and double-click on a VM.
This should minimize the application and bring up our autos window. If you don't see this window, go to Debug –> Windows –> Autos.
Expand the selectedVM object and take a look around. For example, expand Config and then Hardware to view the number of CPU's and memory.
When you've finished, click Continue.
Take a look at the sweet new info form!!
Close the application and remove the breakpoint by clicking on the red dot next to line 93.
So far we have a pretty awesome application, but the Power On and Shut Down buttons do nothing.
To power on our VM in PowerCLI, we simply use Start-VM, and similary here, we'll use the PowerOnVM method. This seems straight forward but what about this ManagedObjectReference host?
Run the application and let's give it a try!
Now, let's shut down our VM. We'll use the ShutdownGuest method, but you could use PowerOffVM() for a less gracefull shutdown.
Let's test the shut down.
Through these examples we've learned how to use the VMware.VIM library to connect to vCenter and pull objects from its inventory. We've also learned how to gather configuration info for our virtual machines and interact with them.
I appreciate all your comments from part one, and I'd love to hear what you plan on building in the comments below.
Great work! Very helpful examples.
Nice C# examples. I need some help on how to check the VM after being powered on or off. I can't seem to refresh(Update) the View afterward so I can power cycle the VM again without starting the application over.
Please contact me, if you want me to send you screenshots in what I'm doing.

Arms trade, International
UK arms sales condemned after 12,000 children killed or maimed
Billy Briggs on August 4, 2019 August 8, 2019
The UK government has been condemned for arming states named and shamed in a new United Nations (UN) report revealing that more than 12,000 children were killed or maimed last year in armed conflicts.
Innocent children across the world were shot, bombed, raped, recruited as child soldiers, imprisoned and had limbs amputated after being targeted by warring parties, the UN said.
A Saudi Arabia-led coalition fighting in Yemen, and Israel – both major buyers of UK arms – are among a number of nations and terror groups criticised in a disturbing report.
India, Pakistan and Thailand – who also buy weapons from the UK – were also named alongside terror outfits Islamic State, Al-Shabaab in Somalia, and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which operates in Yemen.
The UN said that more than 24,000 "grave violations" were committed against children, prompting critics of the arms trade to express outrage at the carnage. They have accused the UK government of having "blood on its hands" and "complicity" in the crimes of regimes named in the report.
UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, revealed that a Saudi Arabia-led military coalition fighting in Yemen killed or injured 729 children during 2018. A total of 43 per cent of child casualties were attributed to the coalition, of which 684 were due to airstrikes.
The Houthis killed 398 children while the Yemeni Government Forces killed 58. There were 28 schools in Yemen attacked and 16 hospitals.
Regarding Israel and Palestine, the report said that 59 Palestinian children were killed in the West Bank and Gaza, some as young as 18 months old. Israeli forces killed 56 children, while an Israeli settler killed one child.
Another child was killed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades, and one boy was killed by an improvised explosive device accidentally detonated at his home by an Al-Aqsa Brigade member.
The report said: "Of these 59 children, 33 boys and 1 girl were killed by Israeli forces during demonstrations at the Gaza fence, 88 per cent of whom (30) were shot by live ammunition to the upper body, while reportedly posing no imminent threat of death or serious injury to Israeli forces, and another 2 boys died after being struck in the head by tear gas canisters."
Another 2,756 Palestinian children were injured, many hurt during the Great March of Return in Gaza. Twenty children had limbs amputated. Six Israeli children were injured, the report added, including two girls hurt in their home by a rocket fired indiscriminately by a Palestinian armed group.
Secretary-General Guterres said: "I am deeply concerned by the scale and severity of the grave violations committed against children in 2018, notably the record high number of casualties as a result of killing and maiming and the increase in the number of violations attributed to international forces.
"I call upon all parties to immediately end and take all necessary measures to prevent such grave violations, including through ensuring mitigation measures and enhancing training on preventing the six grave violations, as well as by ensuring strong accountability measures for the perpetrators of crimes against children."
The UK's arms sales to both Saudi Arabia and Israel have been condemned in recent years due to concerns over human rights abuses and allegations of war crimes.
Since the Conservatives were elected in May 2015 the UK has licensed £5.3 billion worth of arms sales to Saudi Arabia including grenades, aircraft, drones and Paveway IV smart bombs made in Scotland.
As a result of mounting civilian casualties in Yemen due to indiscriminate airstrikes, the Saudi-led coalition has been accused of scores of war crimes, piling pressure on the UK government to stop arms sales to its Middle East ally.
Export licence system lets 'illegal' arms sales to Saudi Arabia continue
Ministers have refused to stop weaponry sales, however, even though they were ruled unlawful by the Court of Appeal in London. Following that landmark judgement in June the UK government said it would not grant any new licences for arms exports to Saudi Arabia but ministers are appealing the decision.
The Ferret subsequently revealed that UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia would continue unabated due to a secretive export licensing system used by the government.
Since 2015 the UK government has also approved £355 million worth of arms sales to Israel. These include licences for grenades, bombs, missiles, assault rifles, sniper rifles, ammunition and electronic warfare equipment. Israel has been accused of war crimes in Gaza, although it has denied those claims.
UK arms sales to India, Pakistan and Thailand over the past four years were worth £569m, £53m and £52m respectively.
The UN said that in India – in Jammu and Kashmir – 31 children between the ages of seven and 17 were killed during government armed forces operations.
In Pakistan, seven children were killed and 56 injured, while children in Thailand continued to be victims of shootings and improvised explosive devices.
Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, Pakistan and Thailand will all soon be guests of the UK government after having been invited by the Department of Trade to the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair which takes place this September in London.
By arming and supporting these regimes the government is making itself complicit in their crimes and abuses. Andrew Smith, Campaign Against Arms Trade
Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade said: "These shameful arms sales expose the moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy at the heart of UK foreign policy. These atrocities would not be possible without the weapons being provided by arms dealing governments like the UK.
"By arming and supporting these regimes the government is making itself complicit in their crimes and abuses. Particularly in Yemen, where UK-made fighter jets and bombs have helped to create the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
The arms companies don't care how their weapons are used or who they are used against, all they care about is their profits. The weapons they are selling could be used in violations and abuses for years to come."
Green MSP, Ross Greer, said: "The Westminster government has been found yet again to have the blood of children on its hands. We all know the brutal truth though – that the morally bankrupt charlatans in this Tory cabinet don't give a damn about children in Yemen, Israel or anywhere else.
"The Conservatives are only interested in enriching their friends in the arms trade and empowering their friends in the world's most brutal regimes. Only further court action will stop them. The Scottish Government on the other hand, who do possess a moral compass, urgently need to cut their ties with these same arms dealers."
Mick Napier of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign said: "This report from the Secretary General to the UN Security Council confirms the February findings of UN refugee agency investigators that Israeli snipers have killed scores and injured and maimed almost 3,000 Palestinian children.
"Previous UN reports, endorsed by Amnesty and other human rights groups, over the last decade, have charged the Israel military with war crimes and crimes against humanity to no avail. Perhaps this new practice, deploying trained snipers to kill and maim from a distance large numbers of children who posed no threat to the soldiers, will lead to some governments imposing sanctions."
Napier added: "When – as seems likely – our government continues to arm the snipers who commit such crimes, only an enraged public opinion will be able to stop this complicity."
A UK Government spokesperson said: "The government takes its export control responsibilities very seriously. A licence will not be issued, to Saudi Arabia or any other destination, if to do so would be inconsistent with any provision of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.
"The UK operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world and we keep our defence exports to Saudi Arabia under careful and continual review."
The UN said that highest number of child casualties last year was in Afghanistan, with 3,062 recorded. In the Syrian Arab Republic, air strikes, barrel bombs and cluster munitions resulted in 1,854 child casualties. Al-Shabaab was condemned for recruiting 2,300 child soldiers in Somalia, some as young as eight-years-old.
Nigeria was in second place, with 1947 children recruited, including some used as suicide bombers. Boko Haram abducted 180 children, often for the purpose of recruitment, sexual abuse, forced marriage or for use as carriers of improvised explosive devices.
Somalia also had the highest verified figure for sexual violence against children, with 331 cases in 2018, followed by Congo with 277 cases. The UN secretary-general said, though, that cases remain significantly under-reported, particularly against boys because of stigma.
In total, 933 cases of sexual violence against children were verified.
Somalia had the highest number of child abductions last year – 1,609. The armed forces of Syria, Myanmar, and South Sudan were also listed, as was Al Qaeda and Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The Security Council has requested an annual list of those responsible for grave violations against children in armed conflict since 2001.
The UK embassies of Israel and Saudi Arabia did not reply to our requests for comments.
The Confederation of Friends of Israel, Scotland, also did not respond to our request for a comment.

Electoral Reform for Italy Passes First Hurdle
March 12, 2014 by Alex Roe
Italy's parliament is slowly hammering out the details of new election rules. Today, the election law changes were voted through Italy's lower house. Now the details of what has come to be known as the Italicum electoral system in Italy will be examined by Italy's upper house, the senate.
If the senate approves the electoral reform law bill as is, it will pass into law. On the other hand, should the draft law be changed changed by Italy's senate, it will have to pass back down to Italy's lower house for further examination.
In this event the bill could be approved and then passed to Italy's president and signed into law. Should the lower house take a disliking to the senate amendments, the bill will return to the senate once more. The process will be repeated until both houses are happy with wording of the draft law.
The vote today was not without incident. Members of the 5 Star Movement held up posters of prime minister Matteo Renzi and ex-prime minister, convict and expelled senator, Silvio Berlusconi in protest at the pact between Renzi and Berlusconi on the details of the electoral law reform proposals. The details of the pact are not known and the 5 Star Movement suspect Renzi's electoral law reform may not be wholly democratic and that support from Berlusconi's Forza Italia party may be conditional upon protecting Berlusconi from prosecution and, possibly, prison.
Here is a brief summary of the main aspects of Italy's draft electoral law which will only be applicable to the election of politicians to Italy's lower house, the camera:
A majority premium of 15% to be awarded to winner, but only if one party or coalition earns itself 37% of all votes in the first round of elections.
Fixed lists of no more than 5 candidates. However, candidates can be included on lists for up to eight electoral districts. Then the total number of votes earned will be combined to decide whether the candidate is elected or not.
A run-off ballot system will be called into play if no party or coalition gains 37% votes during the first round of elections.
In the event of a run-off ballot, the winning party or coalition will be awarded 53% of all the seats in Italy's parliament giving the winners a clear majority. The non-winning parties will be awarded seats proportionally on the basis of the number of seats won.
Limitations to prevent smaller parties entering Italy's parliament. Coalitions will have to earn themselves 12% of votes to end up with seats in parliament. The parties in the coalitions will have to earn at least 4.5% of votes for them to gain seats. Individual parties will not be awarded seats unless they earn 8% of all votes.
Despite requests, parity of the sexes was rejected, as was a requirement for formal primaries to be introduced to determine candidates. A request for preference votes was not accepted either.
Italy's senate which may end up as a house made up of with regional presidents and other representative from local level politics in Italy. The new senators will not be paid any more than they receive for their positions in local government. The new senate will probably perform the same function as today in that it will discuss and approve new laws.
The reformulation of Italy's senate will be subject to additional debate which has yet to start. Changes to how Italy's senate functions will most likely require changes to Italy's constitution and this process will be long and complex. And Italy's serving senators won't be over the moon about voting themselves into extinction either.
While the draft electoral law is not perfect – allowing candidates to stand for up to eight separate seats at the same time, not permitting preference votes nor requiring primaries will allow Italy's political parties to continue to nominate more or less who they want. This, combined with the continual regurgitation less than skilful politicians, is largely what has got Italy into such trouble and is one of the reasons why large number of Italy voters are not longer voting.
Still, at least the electoral reform process is finally moving – that in itself is nothing short of a miracle. As it stands at the moment, the proposed electoral reform should help Italy create stable governments, this too would be an advantage for a nation which seems to get through governments at the rate of one a year.
Let's see what happens in Italy's senate where Italy's prime minister's party does not have such a strong majority. Actually, prime minister Renzi has been facing opposition from within his very own party. Power games, as usual in Italy, are at full swing.

Q: Geometric Series Modulus operation I am giving a series in the form of
1+r+r^2+r^3+r^4+r^5

I have to find modulus of a sum of series i.e i have to find this value
[(r^n-1)/(r-1)]%M

I can easily calculate the value of (r^n-1)%M , But the problem is how to calculate the denominator term ?
Since Inverse modulo can not be exist if both (r-1) and M are not co prime.
Please help how to get this value any approximation or algorithm ?
Since summation is very large, I can't calculate the value directly.

A: Presumably you're proposing to compute r^n with the fast exponentiation recurrence
E(r, 0) = 1
E(r, n) = E(r*r, n/2)         if n is even
          r * E(r*r, (n-1)/2) if n is odd.

We can construct a similar direct recurrence for 1 + r + r^2 + ... + r^n.
F(r, 0) = 1
F(r, n) = (1 + r) * F(r*r, (n-1)/2)       if n is odd
          1 + (r + r*r) * F(r*r, (n-2)/2) if n is even.

All calculations should be done mod M, of course.

It may not be the most exciting of jobs, but Nell loves history and enjoys being around the wonderful collections.

When she teams up with FBI Special Agent James Morrison, together they take on a surprising range of crimes inside the city's cultural community.

But soon after they arrive at the house, Cherisse is fatally shot and Tyrone is badly injured. The police believe it's just random violence in a bad neighborhood, but Nell thinks there's more to it and is determined to find answers before someone else becomes history . . .
Nell Pratt, president of the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society, has something to smile about thanks to a generous donation from a major Philadelphia developer who's willing to help update their museum. But renovations have barely begun when a man is struck by a car in front of the building and killed.
The victim is a construction worker who found a curious metal object while excavating an old privy in the museum's basement. Nell thinks the death is somehow connected to the Society, and her suspicions are confirmed when an antiques expert reveals a link between the objects from the cellar and a fellow staff member's family.
Between the challenges of her position as president of the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society in Philadelphia and of taking her relationship with FBI Agent James Morrison to the next level, Nell Pratt has got her hands full. Nevertheless, when a powerful developer approaches the Society to make sure the old dairy farm he wants to level is not hiding any archeological or historical surprises that could derail the project, Nell decides to make time to personally accompany him to the proposed site.
When Nell reads the obituary of a former board member, Adeline Harrison, she makes a mental note to send flowers and doesn't think twice about it—until FBI agent James Morrison shares his suspicions about the nature of Adeline's death. It turns out that a number of other members of the local cultural community have died in the last few months, under similar circumstances.
A series of warehouse fires has police scrambling for an arsonist, especially when valuable pieces in storage from the Fireman's Museum go up in flames and a guard is killed in the blaze. A picture in the paper of the museum's centerpiece—an 1825 horse-drawn hand pump—catches Nell Pratt's attention. Though charred and twisted, the vehicle is clearly not the original. Yet no one at the museum is talking.
When Nell Pratt is invited to the beloved Philadelphia children's museum, Let's Play, for a sneak preview of a newly installed exhibit based on the Harriet the Hedgehog book series, she's in for quite a shock. In the middle of her visit, one of the installers gets a severe jolt from working on an electrically animated forest creature.
He recovers, but when a second man gets zapped—this time fatally—it sparks a homicide investigation, with Nell right in the middle of things. Is someone out to sabotage the exhibition, or to discredit the museum president, Arabella Heffernan? Even with the help of Nell's potential beau, FBI agent James Morrison, it's ultimately up to Nell to channel her energy into finding the killer—before she gets burned herself.
At The Society for the Preservation of Pennsylvania Antiquities, fundraiser Eleanor "Nell" Pratt solicits donations—and sometimes solves crimes. When a collection of George Washington's letters is lost on the same day that an archivist is found dead, it seems strange that the Society president isn't pushing for an investigation. Nell goes digging herself, and soon uncovers a long, rich history of crime.

OUR Thoughts on EASTER ISLAND
Easter Island, which is also known by the local Polynesian inhabitants as "Rapa Nui" and by its official Chilean name of "Isla de Pascua", sits in solitary splendour in the South Pacific Ocean between Tahiti and Chile. It takes just under 6 hours to fly in each direction between Papeete and Easter Island by LAN Chile Airlines jet which services the route once a week. For those looking to include Easter Island with a visit to South America, there are 6 flights each week between Easter Island and Santiago Chile and a twice weekly service to Lima Peru. Most Kiwi travellers visiting Easter Island pair Tahiti (French Polynesia) with Easter Island.
If you were to look down at Easter Island from a great height it would appear like a triangular-shaped stealth aircraft travelling alone in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean. The town of Hanga Roa is located near the end of the left wing of the imaginary aircraft and the number one attraction, the Ahu Tongariki near the end of the right hand wing. The Easter Island airport is located right beside the town of Hanga Roa.
Even though Easter Island is a territory of Chile and Spanish is an official language (English is widely spoken), the history and the native inhabitants of the island are inextricably linked to Tahiti and New Zealand through Polynesian ancestry, language roots and culture. A major Polynesian event, the Tapati Rapa Nui Festival is held annually during the first two weeks of February and this is a great opportunity to discover the different aspects of the Rapa Nui culture in traditional sports, dance and song. Accommodation on Easter Island books out 6 to 12 months in advance for this event, so get in early if you're keen to be a part of this terrific event.
Tied in with the Rapa Nui culture are the world-famous stone sculptures, the Moai, which are unique to Easter Island and which can be seen and enjoyed in various parts of the island. At the Ahu Tongariki site, fifteen of these remarkable statues have been partially restored and stand on a huge rock platform (Ahu) near the sea facing towards the land and seemingly gazing at the sky. The sight of them at dawn or dusk is awe-inspiring. At Rano Raraku on the eastern end of the south coast which is reputedly the place where the Moai were first carved out of the rocks, the Moai have been left untouched and the contrast between the raw sculptures, the green grassy fields, the sky and the sea is magical. We have only mentioned a few of the major sites for seeing Moai, but as you travel around Easter Island, you come across many more locations where these massive statues exist.
Naturally there are tours available ranging from half-day to two-day tours and Our Specialists are happy to pre-arrange any of these for you. For the reasonably fit, many of Easter Island's sights are relatively easy to walk or cycle to from Hanga Roa. Taxis are readily available and for the sights handy to Hanga Roa like the Orongo area on the side of the volcano crater near the town with its historic stone houses and the stunningly picturesque volcano crater itself, it's possible to take a taxi up the hill and walk back. On a clear day, the sight from the crater rim out over the never-ending ocean where the horizon seems to curve around you is something surely unforgettable.
For other sights, such as the beautiful Anakina white-sand beach in a bay on the north coast or a visit to Ahu Tongariki at sunset, a rental car is necessary if you wish to explore these places at your own speed. In season there is good surfing and Scuba Diving to be enjoyed. There are bars, cafés and restaurants in town as well as very good restaurants in the main resort hotel.
There is something wonderfully different about Easter Island – don't overlook this unique island and its extraordinary environment, history and culture if you are seeking an exceptional and special South Pacific holiday experience.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus – An American researcher claimed Sunday to have discovered the remains of the legendary lost city of Atlantis on the bottom of the east Mediterranean Sea, but Cyprus' chief government archaeologist was skeptical.
Robert Sarmast (search) said sonar scanning 50 miles southeast of Cyprus revealed man-made walls, one as long as 2 miles, and trenches at a depth of 1,640 yards.
"It is a miracle we found these walls as their location and lengths match exactly the description of the acropolis of Atlantis provided by Plato in his writings," Sarmast said, referring to the ancient Greek philosopher.
The chief government archaeologist of Cyprus (search), Pavlos Flourentzos, reacted with skepticism, telling The Associated Press: "More proof is necessary."
Sarmast, 38, is an architect by training from Los Angeles. He has devoted the past 2½ years to trying to locate the lost city described by Plato in his dialogues, the Timaeous and the Critias. He spoke to reporters on the "Flying Enterprise," his expeditionary ship, after six days of taking highly sophisticated "side scan" sonars of the seabed.
He said he had chosen the area from data provided by two earlier sonar scans of the east Mediterranean by Russian and French expeditions. His own expedition used more sophisticated equipment, he said.
"We found more than 60-70 points that are a perfect match with Plato's detailed description of the general layout of the acropolis hill of Atlantis (search). The match of the dimensions and the coordinates provided by our sonar with Plato's description are so accurate that, if this is not indeed the acropolis of Atlantis, then this is the world's greatest coincidence," he said.
Tests of that part of the seabed showed it had once been above sea level, he said.
"We cannot yet provide tangible proof in the form of bricks and mortar as the artifacts are still buried under several meters of sediment at a depth of 1,500 meters (1,640 yards), but the evidence is now irrefutable," he added.
Asked if the ruins could not be that of another city that sank beneath the waves, Sarmast said the remains match Plato's description of Atlantis so closely that they could not be anything else.
"If you compare it with Plato, you will be astonished," he said. "We hope that future expeditions will be able to uncover the sediment and bring back physical proof."
Plato wrote of Atlantis as an island in the western sea, which has been widely interpreted to mean the Atlantic Ocean. An earthquake undermined the island and it was submerged. But societies dedicated to finding Atlantis remain.
For its time, Atlantis was a highly civilized nation and in legend it has become associated with utopia. The English philosopher Francis Bacon called his 1627 book on the ideal state The New Atlantis.
Chief government archaeologist Flourentzos said it was possible that Atlantis was near Cyprus.
"The myth of Atlantis has been around for ages and it is generally believed that, if it ever existed, it was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean — hence its name. But ancient cities and civilizations in the Mediterranean region, such as the Minoan civilization of Crete, have disappeared as a result of major volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. For all we know, Atlantis may well have existed in our region."
Sarmast said his expedition had cost about a $250,000. The funds came from public donations to his US-based company "First Source Enterprise," which is devoted to the project, sales of his book "The Discovery of Atlantis," and the Cypriot Tourist Organization, which donated $60,000.
He said the book, published in September 2003, said Atlantis was in the east Mediterranean and his latest sonars confirmed it.

Q: Body parsers behaving weirdly I am trying to develop an app with few APIs, the issue I am facing here is when I use
 app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

as my middleware, it doesnt intake the requests i send through postman (all the request sent through postman goes with empty body idk why. And it takes all the requests sent via html form.
On the other hand, if I use
app.use(express.json({extended: false}))

as my middleware to parse json objects, it takes all the requests from postman but doesnt take requests from my browser form. Can anyone explain whats happening here?

A: In order for express to be able to parse both JSON request payloads and simple form-data requests, you simply need to setup both of the mentioned middlewares (note that express.json() does not have an extended option):
 app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
 app.use(express.json());

See the docs for more information:

Q: What is my interest rate? Since my bank is not proud enough to display their interest rate on their home page anymore I am struggling to figure this out.
I have an escrow account that looked like

639.14
  960.77
  1282.4
  1604.03
  1925.66
  2247.29
  639.14
  960.77
  1282.4
  1604.03
  1925.66
  2247.29

I received a measly 2.67 interest for the year of 2013.  Enough to not generate a 1099-INT.
What is my interest rate?
Last year I received 22.18, is it correct to assume that the interest rate drop by about 88% (1-2.67/22.18) or is it different than that since the interest is compounded?

A: Are you sure you're getting paid interest at all?  The difference between any two consecutive numbers in the sequence you give is 321.63.  This would seem to indicate that you're putting in 321.63 per month and getting no interest - if you were getting interest (even some very small amount) you'd expect the difference between the month $n$ and month $n + 1$ balances to be larger when the month $n$ balance is larger.
Edited to add: after the OP's comment, the question is a bit clearer.  In that case, I'd observe that the average balance in the account (the average of the twelve numbers above) is 1443.22.  If you received 2.67 in interest, then the interest rate (assuming it didn't change over the course of the year) is 2.67/1443.22 or about 0.185 percent.  I'm not surprised your bank doesn't bother to make this rate public, because it's so low.

Q: How to run a C program when it has multiple files? In a program, I have a list.c file, list.h file and run.c file. In the run.c file, the code contains my main program and also "#include list.h". In my list.h file, my functions are just void and being defined. Finally, in my list.c file, I include list.h again and I have the meaning and code of what each function is going to do. I made a makefile that looks like so:
SOURCES = run.c list.c
OBJECTS= run.o list.o
HEADERS = list.h
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -Wall

lab1: $(OBJECTS)
(tab)    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o lab1

clean:
(tab)    rm -fR *o lab1

There is nothing wrong in any of my code because it is already finished and I am just copying code. However, I am unsure how to use the makefile to run these multiple files. I am only familiar with runner files after compiling with gcc and using "./". Is there something wrong with my makefile or is there a step for compiling these files in a different way?
Thank you for any help

A: The given makefile is working and generates an executable lab1 file. However, the .o files depend on the list.h file, and this dependency is not captured.
You should specify targets to build the .o files, as follows:
SOURCES = run.c list.c
OBJECTS= run.o list.o
HEADERS = list.h
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -Wall

lab1: $(OBJECTS)
(tab)    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o lab1

%.o: %.c $(HEADERS)
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

clean:
    rm -fR *o lab1

Word of caution: With this makefile, if the list of HEADERS grows, a change in any of the headers will warrant a rebuild of all .o files.
For example, imagine we also have buf.c which uses buf.h. Now HEADERS = list.h buf.h. If we change buf.h, our makefile would rebuild both list.o and buf.o, even though a buf.o rebuild would suffice.
To remedy this, we could use a more verbose makefile which identifies the specific header prerequisites for each .o file with rules such as the following:
list.o: list.c list.h
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

buf.o: buf.c buf.h
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

A: Solution 1: Simply list each .c file separately as input and compile once
gcc list.c run.c -o lab1

Solution 2: Compile each .c file separately
gcc -c list.c
gcc -c run.c
gcc -o lab1 list.o run.o

Your project is small and simple enough that a fully generalized makefile is overkill:
SOURCES = run.c list.c
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -Wall

all:
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SOURCES) -o lab1

clean:
    rm -fR *o lab1

The all: is a default target that executes when you simply type make with no arguments.

A: After compiling, it did end up making a lab1 file that I could run and everything worked. My makefile ended up working fine, I was just completely oblivious to the fact that it was making a file called lab1. I did change my makefile to the above options and that also worked. Thank you
