The lowest number sprite is the one that's displayed. IE: sprite 0 is drawn over sprite 1 -- which is drawn over sprite 2, over sprite 3, etc.
When sprites overlap in game, there will usually be a flicker effect -- this is due to the game's OAM cycling routine. Basically the game is moving sprites around so that sprites have high priority one frame and low priority another frame (making all sprites visible through flickering rather than some just being completely invisible).
So yeah... the flicker effect is normal. All your emu should be doing is giving lower numbered sprites priority when there's a conflict.

What We're Watching Now
Posted on April 10, 2018 by Charlene Giannetti in Playing Around
With spring finally arriving, reruns begin to dominate TV listings. The good news is that there's lots to watch on cable, streaming services, and, yes, even on the major networks that launch new shows and limited series to compete.
Here are some series, whether you watch one episode at a time or set aside a day to binge watch.
Collateral (Netflix)
With only four episodes, this well-written, taut police thriller can easily be watched in an afternoon or evening. Written by the British playwright, screenwriter, and director, David Hare, Collateral stars Carey Mulligan as Kip Glaspie, a former star pole vaulter who suffered a career-ending injury and became a cop. The shooting of Abdullah Asif, a pizza deliveryman, seems like a random crime, but Kip soon discovers he was targeted. But why? Karen Mars (Billie Piper) who ordered the pizza is the sole witness, but stonewalls Kip. So does Laurie Stone (Hayley Squires), the pizza shop's manager, who feels guilty after sending Abdullah to his death. We learn the identity of the shooter early on, but not her motivation. The pieces fall into place slowly with several surprises along the way. The series benefits from terrific performances from Mulligan, as well as from a strong supporting case, including Piper, who can now be seen in Yerba at the Park Avenue Armory.
Seven Seconds (Netflix)
Created by Veena Sud, who also developed the American crime drama, The Killing, Seven Seconds will keep you on the edge of your seat for 10 episodes. Police Officer Peter Jablonski (Beau Knapp) has just transferred into a New Jersey narcotics unit and is still trying to figure things out and fit in. He receives a call that his pregnant wife is at the hospital in danger of losing the baby. Driving too fast on slippery roads through a park, he loses control and hits a young black teen who was on a bike. He calls his sergeant, Mike DiAngelo (David Lyons), who arrives on the scene with two other officers. Saying that the public will eviscerate a white cop for killing a black teen, DiAngelo convinces Jablonski to leave the scene, saying he'll take care of everything. The coverup begins. The prosecutor assigned to the case, K.J. Harper (Clare-Hope Ashitey), is an alcoholic and in no shape to take on a tough case. With the teen, Brenton Butler, in a coma, K.J. promises the parents (amazing performances by Regina King and Zachary Momoh), she will do her best. Assisting K.J. (and trying to keep her sober), is Joe "Fish" Rinaldi (Michael Mosely). Seven Seconds is a thought-provoking police drama which could be "ripped from the headlines." A must see.
Sneaky Pete (Amazon Prime)
Giovanni Ribisi is back as ex-con Marius Josipovíc impersonating his cellmate, Pete Murphy, (Ethan Embry), to evade being targeted by a crime boss he once swindled. Pete's family runs a bail bond business which puts them into contact with some pretty shady characters. In Season 2 (best to watch Seaon 1 first), everyone in Murphy's family is in trouble and has something to hide. Pete's cousin, Julia (Marin Ireland) has been laundering money, ostensibly to keep a criminal from targeting her family. Pete's mother, Maggie (Jane Adams), once stole $11 million from an East European thug and has returned home to try to get the money back because she's had a vision (she's a physic), that will save her and Pete. Pete's grandfather, Otto (Peter Gerety), tried to save the family business by hiring a hit man to kill him, but the plan backfired and the hit man ended up dead. Now the hit man's son is after him. And Pete's grandmother, Audrey (Margo Martindale), accidentally killed a dirty cop and an NYPD detective is in town to find his killer. Marius as Pete is in the middle of the action and who knows what will happen. It's a very funny thrill ride.
Deception (ABC)
I'm been missing Castle and believe that ABC has come up with another winner with this clever production centering on an illusionist who works with the FBI to solve crimes. Jack Cutmore-Scott stars as Cameron Black, a talented, famous illusionist. What the audiences don't know, is that Cameron's brother, Jonathan (also played by Cutmore-Scott), is the reason Cameron can be in two places at once. But when Jonathan is framed for murder, Cameron teams up with FBI agent Kay Daniels (Ilfenesh Hadera) to solve crimes until he can free his brother. Anyone who enjoys magic (Penn Gilette of Penn and Teller fame makes a cameo appearance) will quickly be hooked by this show. Cameron performs many slight of hand tricks, but the physical feats he attempts in helping to nab the bad guys are impressive, too. Meanwhile, Jonathan tries to survive in prison without helping inmates to escape through disappearing acts. It's fresh and fun. Enjoy.

With prospects that the House of Representatives could debate and vote on a farm bill later this week, the House Rules Committee is scheduled to begin meeting Tuesday afternoon at the Capitol to winnow down the 106 amendments to the bill that have been filed for the legislation.
The vast majority of the amendments come from Republicans as Democrats have insisted they won't participate in helping shape the legislation. Still, there are a small number of Democrats who have pushed on various issues in the past and wanted to lay down their markers again.
Below is by no means a comprehensive list of amendments, but they hit the highlights in different titles.
Reps. Michael Burgess, R-Texas and Earl Blumenauer, R-Oregon want to limit spending on ARC and PLC to 110% of CBO scoring for fiscal years 21-25.
Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., has an amendment that would reverse the cotton eligibility for Title I programs -- ARC or PLC.
Kind and Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-Pa., would limit commodity and conservation assistance to farmers with $500,000 or less adjusted gross income. They and others introduced a similar amendment for crop insurance premium subsidies.
Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., would strip language allowing pass-through entities to exclude marketing loan benefits from the Adjusted Gross Income limits. Posey's amendment would also remove cousins, nieces and nephews from ARC and PLC payments.
Blumenauer has a separate amendment setting a $125,000 payment cap and $500,000 adjusted gross income limit. It would also strike the separate payment-limit carve-out for peanuts. Blumenauer has another amendment to tighten payment limits for several programs.
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., wants to limit commodity program payments only to actively engaged farmers and one farm manager.
Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., would phase out agricultural subsidies.
A bi-partisan amendment spearheaded by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., would reform the sugar program by removing barriers to domestic production and implementing market reforms.
Kind, D-Wis., would reinstate the Conservation Stewardship Program.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, would allow drainage districts that provide irrigation to apply for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program funds.
Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., would prohibit the purchase of carbonated beverages with SNAP benefits. A similar amendment was introduced by Reps. John Faso, R-N.Y., and Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif.
Grothman also wants to increase the work eligibility requirements form 20 hours a week to 30 hours.
Rep. Ron Estes, R- Kansas, wants to repeals broad-based categorical eligibility.
Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., would allow transparency of store sales of SNAP transactions.
Reps. Tom Marino, R-Pa., and Burgess, R-Texas, want a GAO pilot program to determine whether specific items being purchased through SNAP can be collected using existing reporting requirements.
Reps. George Holding, R-N.C, and Tom Reed, R-NY, want to prohibit convicted rapists, pedophiles and murderers from collecting SNAP benefits.
Rogers, R-Ala., would allow SNAP users to buy multivitamins with SNAP benefits.
McClintock, R-Calif., would repeal geographical waivers and allow states to exempt 5% of SNAP recipients from job requirements. Amendment also would set new work requirements for married parents and change an age exemption for parents with children under age 6 to age 3.
McClintock also would restrict SNAP benefits to the same products sold under the Women and Infant Children program.
Reps Mark Sanford, R-S.C, and Ron Kind, D-Wis. -- lowers the profit margin target rate that crop insurance companies are guaranteed from 14.5% to 12%.
Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., -- reduces crop-insurance premium subsidies for insurance companies by 15 percentage points, except for catastrophic coverage.
Kind also has an amendment to allow public disclosure of crop insurance premium subsidies.
Reps. John Duncan, R-Tenn., and Norman, R-S.C., would eliminate the subsidy for the Harvest Price Option insurance.
A bipartisan amendment four congressman would limit crop-insurance premium subsidies to farmers that have adjusted gross income below $500,000.
Rep. Steve Russell, R-Okla., would amend federal crop insurance rules to ensure tobacco doesn't receive subsidized premiums.
Rep. Posey, R-Fla., -- would prohibit USDA from using Commodity Credit Corp funds for biofuel infrastructure such as blender pumps.
Reps. Dave Brat, R-Va., Blumenauer and Dina Titus, R-Nevada, want more transparency and accountability for checkoff programs.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., wants to delist the gray wolf range-wide.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky, wans to prohibit federal interference with the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk and milk products between states that allow the distribution of unpasteurized milk and related products for human consumption.
Blumenauer, among the several amendments he offered, would create a new farm bill title on Food Waste, and establish a USDA office on food waste.
Massie also wants to allow the freedom to permit intrastate shipments of custom-slaughtered meat.
Massie and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., would amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of "marijuana." A separate amendment with six other co-sponsors goes further to identify hemp as a USDA agricultural commodity.
Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., would give financial institutions "safe harbor" for doing business with hemp companies.
Three GOP congressmen would delay any Endangered Species Act listing of the lesser prairie chicken.
Four GOP congressmen seek to define "navigable waters" under the Clean Water Act with an amendment.
What happened to draining the swamp? How about some reforming sod-swamp? Promote drainage as soil health and at the same time save crop losses, crop insurance and disaster payments that would make sense! We as farmers have the worst negotiators! This is a Farm Bill for non-farming interests! Where are the Trumpers here? What a bunch of fakes!


I've been a dad now for a little bit over eight years. I have three kids. Two are boys, and the youngest is a girl. I absolutely love my kids and I love being a dad. Everything that I've done over the last 10 years has been to try and provide a good life for them without exchanging my presence in their lives.
I have been self-employed since I was 20 years old, so for about the last 18 years. There are many different things that I have taught myself how to do that have turned into revenue streams that has provided me the life that I have today. I'm usually pretty quick to figure things out. If there is something that I want to learn how to do, I can read a couple of blogs and watch a couple of videos and know exactly what I need to do. With a little bit of practice, I almost always have it down solid. I've just always been good at getting hands-on with things and figuring them out.
Parenting on the other hand has been the biggest challenge of my life. Marriage has definitely been a challenge also, but at least you're dealing with another adult there. With parenting, you're dealing with ever-changing little beings that are also trying to figure out what this world is all about.
I have always been an observer. I tend to stand back and watch while I take in what's going on around me. I try to do this with my kids, especially when they are having a hard time with something. With my boys, they would get frustrated and lose their composure over something but I was able to see what was happening, empathize with them, and bring them out of it rather quickly. My daughter on the other hand I just am often at a loss with. I do not know how to handle her. I didn't grow up with many girls around me so I just don't know how to deal with them. Girls are different than boys, and handle things completely different than I am used to.
My wife had her Street Market tonight so I took most of the day to handle her responsibilities with the kids. That included picking up my daughter and our friends boy at noon and then returning at three to pick up my boys and their other son. We do a carpool with our neighbor friends. I told my daughter that we would go on a lunch date together. It had been a while since our last one. She said she wanted to go somewhere fun for lunch so I thought I would take her to John's Incredible Pizza for lunch and a few games. She was pretty excited.
We had a good time and used up all of our tokens and left to go run a couple of errands before picking up her brothers from school. Right when we got into my truck she said to me, "Dad, I actually didn't have a nice date with you." I was confused. It seemed to me like we had a lot of fun together. We had pizza, chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream, and played some fun games together. It was just her and I and we didn't worry about anybody else.
I asked her why she didn't have a good time and she said to me, "John's Incredible Pizza was dumb." I explained to her that I thought we had a pretty good time together. She persisted by reiterating once again that she did not have a good time and then ended her statement by saying that she didn't think she wanted to go on anymore dates with me for a while. Talk about bringing back old highschool rejection wounds. Where was this coming from?
I explained to her that when someone who cares about you takes you somewhere that you wanted to go, you need to be appreciative. If you didn't have a good time, it's OK to share that, but it's not OK to make somebody feel bad. At this point she was giving me the cold shoulder and I didn't want to start an argument with a four-year-old.
While we were running a couple of errands I started to notice that she was most likely exhausted so I am sure that she was not simply being mean to me but that she was feeling tired and that translated to her not having a good time. I know she had a good time, but she's tired and when my daughter is tired the filters come off. She's 4.
Fast forward to later in the evening, we went downtown to check out my wife's market. I just started drinking coffee again and got a coffee from a friends coffee booth and was enjoying my fresh coffee. My wife wanted to buy my daughter a hand made bag from one of their junior vendors so we were at his booth. My daughter was holding her bag and for some reason decided to swing it at me knocking my coffee out of my hand and all over my arm and right side of my body. I was livid. My daughter is lucky that there were hundreds of people around us or my filter may have came off. Though my wife had 1000 other things going on, I was ready to force her to take her daughter because I was done. I took a couple of deep breath's and composed myself, and then used her blanket that I was forced to carry by her to dry my coffee soaked body off.
Now my boys also operated on pretty narrow wavelengths around that age. I recognize that there is a lot of changes in the brain going on at that age. I also remember the family dynamic that I grew up in. There were three of us kids and I remember my younger brother having a pretty short fuse. Having three kids is pretty tough. Two play together well, and the third always is the odd man out. My daughter is even more at a disadvantage because she's the only girl. The boys are really good about playing with her in her world, but they are boys and would rather be doing boy things and lately they have wanted it to be all about the boys.
As a parent, I don't want to micromanage my kids' childhood. They need to figure some things out on their own without coming to my wife and I all the time. I want my kids to be able to manage conflict and resolve situations on their own, even though they are young. I haven't always been perfect in this area and still am not anywhere near it. Sometimes I don't have enough bandwidth to handle their situations and it's much easier to shut them down immediately then to understand and hear them out.
I recognize that days like this happen to me because it is mostly my wife that takes care of them throughout the day. Today was a disruption of the norm for them. I haven't picked them up from school in forever and been with them all afternoon, so it was totally different and for my four-year-old daughter, that's a big deal, especially at the end of the week when she is tired.
Now, they are all in bed and sleeping and I'm sitting on the couch ranting into a blog post, trying to make sense of all of my thoughts and what happened today. For me, writing helps me process my thoughts. Parenting is not for the week. It would be very easy for me to live in the frustration that was today and decide that limiting my work so that I could spend more time at home with my kids was a bad idea. You see, I'm trying to free up more time by limiting work so that I can spend more time with my wife and kids. I want to be done with work when they come home from school. I want to play with them in the afternoon before dinner. I don't want to miss out. But after a day like today it would be easy to find more work to do so I could avoid the craziness.
I know that it is not under my own power that I am able to see my thoughts and emotions for what they are shortly after a situation like today and understand the deeper meaning in all of it. It would be very easy to take everything personal, but it's not personal, it's parenting.
Many people think that their kids are doing things like this to them on purpose and that their kids must just spend all of their free time trying to come up with ways to torture them. Honestly, I don't think that our kids think about us enough to do that, nor are they capable of that at such young ages. Their little brains are literally just firing and reactions are happening. They are young, and are unable to fully control all of their emotions. They are still trying to figure it out and it is up to us as parents to guide them, even when we are the ones being attacked.
I am very thankful for the ability that I have to see the bigger picture most of the time. If it was not for that, I would have nothing but resentment built up from situations like this. I just went in to my daughters room and kissed her on the four head. I also made the mistake of inhailing through the nose right next to her blanket. Which is utterly disgusting and still covered with coffee.
Parenting is the hardest job that I have ever had. When people say that parenting is hard, they are not kidding. When they follow that up by saying that it is also the most rewarding job, they are not kidding either. I had my turn as a child and young adult. I'm not saying that I can't still enjoy my life, but it is their turn. My kids need the best that I can give them at all times. When I fail at being the best for them, I need to be humble enough to share with them my shortcomings and apologize when necessary. None of us are perfect nor do we have all the answers. There are no step-by-step guides to raising perfect children.
So I guess I am writing this as a reminder to myself but also as an encouragement anyone else out there who has children that go sideways sometimes and blast you with hot coffee in the middle of a street market. Remember that your kids are young and are not fully in control of their emotions. They need guidance and understanding, and patience. Heck, adults these days are rarely in control of their emotions. Kavanaugh much?
The next time you see me with my kids and a crazed look on my face, know that this Dad is doing his best with what he has in that moment and I'll do my best to encourage you in your moments.
Do it for them, because being a dad is important. It might be the most important role there is in a child's life and there are so many dads out there not showing up for their kids these days.
Show up for your kids in all moments. You've got this Dad!
Note: The image I used in this post is a stock photo and not a photo of my daughter, though it is a pretty good representation of how she was looking at me earlier today. I've made a point not to shame my children by posting their vulnerable moments to the Internet.


Online platform Algrano aims to revolutionise how coffee trading takes place, providing growers with more autonomy and roasters with the ability to digitise their buying operations.
Pascal Schlittler, Founder of single serve coffee capsule company Mocoffee, is no stranger to innovation in the coffee industry. Since starting Mocoffee, Schlittler has built his knowledge and presence in the coffee industry. He is now using his experience and resources to form MyCoffeeWorld, an initiative and investment vehicle supporting start-up companies during their growth phase.
One such company is Algrano, an online platform allowing growers and roasters to communicate and trade coffee directly and openly. Schlittler has supported the young company as a sparring partner regarding sales and marketing activities.
Algrano CEO Dr. Raphael Studer tells Global Coffee Report the company provides roasters the opportunity to update how they buy coffee in the same way they do their equipment.
"There is a lot of innovation going on [in the coffee industry], but how coffee has been sourced has never changed," Studer says.
Algrano's digital platform not only provides access to new sets of information for roasters and growers it connects, but offers the services needed to transport the coffee from the grower to the roaster. These services include shipping, financing, warehousing, and quality management. This means the roaster can focus on what matters to them; discovering unique coffees at origin, then roasting and selling them.
Algrano employs a fully transparent price model, displaying the costs of each service to the grower and the roaster. This implies that roasters can customise their supply chains. For instance, if a roaster orders coffee from green bean traders, Studer says they will have the coffee already sitting in a warehouse and will need to charge additional storage costs. Algrano, on the other hand, will only charge for the two months the warehouse is used.
A key benefit of Algrano's platform is the sheer amount of data roasters can acquire that they would not have access to otherwise.
"The roaster receives so much information about the grower, which is beneficial for a variety of purposes, from traceability and supply chain information to marketing content," Studer says.
Many roasters using the service tell Studer they also enjoy being able to ethically and sustainably source their coffee.
Algrano was formed in 2013, when Co-founder Gilles Brunner, who worked in a coffee trading house at the time, realised coffee growers needed an online tool that could connect them to customers in global markets. Brunner partnered with Studer and software development expert Christian Burri to develop the platform, which initially did not include a trading element.
"When we showed this platform to cooperatives and growers and asked if they'd use it, they said yes, but where can we sell our coffee to the roasters directly?" Studer says.
Algrano offers its services at a fixed cost, meaning every additional cent a roaster is willing to pay for a particular green bean goes directly to its growers. In 2017, Algrano paid 30 per cent more to growers than they could have achieved at the highest market price for the period.
Through Algrano, roasters can broadcast their needs, in terms of quality, origin, delivery times, and price. Farmers and cooperatives can answer this request with a concrete offer that meets these requirements. Alternatively, growers can actively offer freshly harvested coffee to the Algrano community.
Once mutual interest is established online, a physical exchange of samples takes place. The samples flow through Algrano's quality lab so a team of Q Graders can assess the coffee and determine if it matches its online description.
The final transaction then occurs, where the grower receives payment and the coffee is delivered to the roaster.
Since Algrano's launch in 2015, thousands of growers and roasters have signed on to the platform. Studer says the company's focus right now is to expand even further.
"One and a half years ago, we asked ourselves how Algrano is going to develop. Are we going to stay a small company or do we have bigger ambitions? That's when we decided to step out of Algrano and look for growth capital," Studer says.
Algrano has formed connections with companies from around the world whose resources and knowledge help the online platform grow its scope. Partnerships with Fairtrade in 2017 and the El Salvador Coffee Council in 2018 have also been beneficial to Algrano's growth.
Studer believes Algrano can provide growers and roasters with the tools to make the coffee supply chain sustainable for future generations, by providing growers with an additional direct sales channel, and roasters with streamlined buying operations from origin.
Studer says it is younger growers that want to separate themselves from the commodities market, but don't have the resources to travel and market their coffee.
MYCOFFEEWORLD.COM - is an initiative & investment vehicle around Pascal Schlittler.
The mission is to power and grow the future of innovation and business networks in the coffee industry.

LINGUI, THE SACRED BONDS: A Determined Single Mother in Chad
Jim Gilles
Maria (Rihane Khalil Alio), the 15-year-old daughter
By Jim Gilles
Maria (Rihane Khalil Alio) with her mother Amina (Achouackh Souleymane)
Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 11/12/21 – On October 11 at the AFI Film Festival in Hollywood was a screening of Lingui, the Sacred Bonds (Chad, 2021), the latest film from Chadian director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, a Cannes regular who won the Jury Prize in 2010 for A Screaming Man. This is the third time one of Haroun's films has been included in the AFI Film Festival and his first openly feminist film. It tells the story of a single mother, Amina (Achouackh Abakar Souleymane), who was shunned by her family for becoming pregnant at a young age. Suddenly Amina's 15-year-old daughter, Maria (Rihane Khalil Alio), finds herself in the same situation. Except for Maria, reluctant to repeat her mother's trajectory, and having already faced whispers and expulsion from school, wants an abortion.
Amina (Achouackh Souleymane) in N'Djamena
Amina (Achouackh Abakar Souleymane) is a single mother living on the outskirts of N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, where she supports herself and her 15-year-old daughter, Maria (Rihane Khalil Alio), by making stoves with materials from salvaged tires. The film opens with a mesmerizing sequence of Amina at work: She cuts old tires open with a knife, pulls out the steel wires, and fastens them onto a base made of metal rods. She is focused, and the beads of sweat that form on her forehead, taking a winding path from the edge of her tight cornrows to the base of her round nose, signal a long morning's work. After making another stove, Amina changes from her workwear – a navy blue T-shirt and black shorts – into a burnt orange fabric wrapped around her body and over her head. It's a transformation that marks the difference between her inner life and her outer presentation.
Amina (Achouackh Souleymane) asking midwife about an abortion
Haroun uses the opening moments of Lingui to immerse viewers in Amina's routine. A golden hue highlights each frame, softening the ripples of the river where she meets her friend Bintou (Chanceline Allah-Odoum Guinlar), sharpening the sense of chaos as they cross the highway to the market and heightening the sun's oppressive heat. The implicit juxtaposition between Amina, who spends hours hawking the stoves, and Bintou, who loves music and spent the previous night dancing, offers viewers an opportunity to see how different Chadian women exist, halting any assumptions we might be tempted to make about who they are.
Amina wearing wire cookstove on her head while selling them
When Amina returns home, she immediately senses something is off. Maria, whom she affectionately calls Mamita, is awfully quiet. Probing merely intensifies Maria's withdrawal, prompting her to lash out at her mother. "Don't call me Mamita," Maria says sternly before retreating to her room. Desperate for answers, Amina follows her daughter to school one day, where she discovers that Maria is pregnant and has been kicked out. The news fills Amina – who, we gather, got pregnant young and was subsequently rejected by her family – with unspeakable terror. She comes home and, in a fit of rage, beats her daughter, who declares that she wants an abortion.
Haroun's is a specifically Chadian experience. Amina is also afraid but she harnesses that fear and allows it to open her up to an unfamiliar, but beautiful vulnerability. She initially refuses her daughter's request for an abortion: They are Muslim, she says; it's not allowed in Islam, she intones; and then finally, in a moment of acceptance, how will they do it? How to get an abortion in a country where it is technically legal but impossible to access is the question that drives the rest of Lingui. Money, unsurprisingly, becomes Amina and Maria's primary obstacle. When they finally find a doctor willing to perform the operation, he asks for 1 million CFAs. Determined not to let her daughter face the same fate she did – ostracized by family, shunned by a society that views single mothers as an aberration – Amina gets to work. She begins selling more stoves and even asks her neighbor, Brahim (Youssouf Djaoro), who proposes to her early in the film if he would be willing to have sex with her in exchange for the money.
Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, director of Lingui, the Sacred Bonds
It's women who end up saving Amina and Maria – from Amina's younger sister Fanta (Briya Gomdigue), who unexpectedly resurfaces, to a midwife (Hadj Fatimé Ngoua) who offers to help. They come from various walks of life and, as Haroun smartly makes clear, span different socioeconomic classes, but they are linked by an unshakeable sense of community. It is the strength of social bonding among Chadian women that make it possible for Amina to help her daughter. Director Haroun explains, "Lingui is a term that implies solidarity, mutual aid, and keeping each other afloat," he said. "I can only exist because others exist, that is lingui."

My torso is too long for an all-in-one shaper. What else should I try?
Definitely try an open-busted shaper. It goes over your regular bra giving you a lot more room and flexibility in the torso. I like this one from Yummie Tummie since it provides shaping while still being really comfortable to wear.


Everyone responds in his or her own unique way to the challenges presented by a serious accident. Some people recover quickly after moving past the pain and intensive treatment that characterize the early aftermath of an injury. For others, however, recovery occurs neither quickly nor at an even pace. Some people encounter the most severe challenges weeks or months after a traumatic injury.
At Murphy Battista LLP, helping people get their lives back lies at the core of everything we do. This applies to your emotional and psychological well-being as well as physical recovery and financial compensation for your injuries.
The emotional and psychological impacts of an accident can often be diagnosed, treated and shown to be related to the traumatic incident itself through reliable expert evidence. Psychological symptoms can also reflect the pain and disability associated with the injuries, or emotional problems of adjustment to a period of diminished physical or cognitive capacity.
Proving the mental or emotional aspects of an injury claim can be difficult, but your legal team at Murphy Battista has extensive experience with these issues. To learn how you and your family can benefit from our legal and practical understanding of psychological damages in the injury claims compensation process, contact our office.

28 active cases of COVID-19 in Prescott-Russell on June 24, new assessment facility to open in Alexandria
Posted by James Morgan | Jun 24, 2020 | Coronavirus, Health & Wellness, News
Throughout the jurisdiction of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit on Wednesday June 24, there were 28 active cases of COVID-19 and 135 resolved cases. Among the population of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, there were 17 active cases and 95 resolved cases. There were five active cases and 24 resolved cases among residents of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry as of June 24. Among residents of the City of Cornwall as of June 24, there were seven active cases of COVID-19 and 16 resolved cases.
There were two COVID-19 patients from the territory of the EOHU in hospital on Wednesday, and one of those patients was in intensive care.
As of June 24, the number of COVID-19 deaths within the jurisdiction of the EOHU remained at 11. That figure has fortunately not changed for more than three weeks.
There were no outbreaks of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities or other group living institutions as of Wednesday.
The EOHU, in partnership with the Glengarry Memorial Hospital and SDG-Cornwall Paramedic Services, is opening a new COVID-19 assessment centre in Alexandria on June 30, 2020. The centre will be located at 62 Anik Street and will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, by appointment only. To book an appointment, please call the EOHU at 613-933-1375 or 1-800 267-7120. Visitors to the centre are asked to wear a mask or face covering.
"We're pleased to be opening the new Alexandria centre, as it will further broaden access to COVID-19 testing for our region's residents," says Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health.
The additional assessment site will increase the EOHU's capacity to identify cases so it can move quickly to isolate them and follow up with their contacts.
"This is very important as we continue to open up more sectors of the economy, to protect our residents and keep the curve of COVID-19 infection as flat as possible in our region," said Roumeliotis.
Anyone who has symptoms related to COVID-19, or who thinks they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, can be tested at any of the 6 assessment centres in the EOHU region, including the Alexandria centre. The other assessment centres are located in Hawkesbury, Casselman, Rockland, Cornwall, and Winchester.
A full list of COVID-19 symptoms is available at covid-19.ontario.ca.
As of June 24, 14,347 people had been tested for COVID-19 at the five centres, and through home visits made by paramedics in Prescott and Russell, and SDG-Cornwall.
Across Ontario
There had been 34,016 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the province of Ontario as of Wednesday, June 24. That same day, 86.2 per cent of the 34,016 cases were listed by the Ministry of Health as resolved.
There were 278 COVID-19 patients in hospital across Ontario on June 24, 73 patients were in intensive care, and 48 patients were on ventilators.
As of Wednesday, there had been 2,631 deaths due to COVID-19 across Ontario.
Confirmed and resolved COVID-19 cases within EOHU jurisdiction as of June 24, 2020.

Q: Função que retorna mysqli_fetch_array O meu cenário é seguinte: eu tenho uma função chamada buscaUsuario()
function buscaUsuario($conexao)
{

$retornar = array();
$query = mysqli_query($conexao, "SELECT user_name FROM usuarios");

while($result = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query))
{
    $retornar[] = $result;
}

return $retornar;

}

Onde também tenho um arquivo chamado procura-usuario.php e lá tem o seguinte trecho de código:
                        <?php

                        $all = buscaUsuario($conexao);
                        $ab = sizeof($all);
                        $i = 0;
                        for ($i = 0; $i < $ab; $i++)
                        {
                         ?>

                            <?=implode($all[$i])?>

 <?php
                         }
                         ?>

Eu estou retornando a query em um array pra ser exibida numa tabela. Anteriormente tentei fazer de uma forma mais sucinta (pelo menos pra mim) mas entrava num loop infinito e crashava o navegador. E essa outra forma era a seguinte: na função buscaUsuario() eu criava uma variável que recebia mysqli_fetch_array() e retornava essa variável. Então, em procura-usuario.php eu chamava essa função e jogava dentro de um while para que a tabela fosse populada até não ter mais nenhuma linha dentro do array... E isso (como eu disse ali em cima) fazia o navegador crashar, aí resolvi fazer dessa forma que lhes mostrei. Porém, se eu adiciono mais um campo no select e mando imprimir dentro desse for, a as células de cada linha na tabela não são populadas, apenas a primeira linha, ficando assim: usuarioNomeCompletoIdadeSexo
Eu queria entender o que estou fazendo de errado e qual seria a melhor forma de fazer o que estou tentando fazer... Obrigado folks!

A: Cara, você pode tentar fazer da seguinte forma:
function buscaUsuario($conexao)
{

$query = mysqli_query($conexao, "SELECT user_name FROM usuarios");

return mysqli_fetch_array($query)

}

E na outra:
<?php

$all = buscaUsuario($conexao);
while($all)
{
?>

    <?php echo $all["user_name"]; ?>

<?php
}
?>

Assim fica muito mais prático e você economiza mais da metade das linhas..

A: Consegui listar usando desta forma:
function jQueryArray($sql) {
    $tbl = array();
    $linkConexao = conectaBD();
    $rs = mysqli_query($linkConexao, $sql);

    $i = 0;

    while ($tbl = mysqli_fetch_array($rs)){ $i++;

        $tblReturn[$i] = $tbl;

    }

    desconectaBD($linkConexao);
    return $tblReturn;
}

// Lista na view
$tbl = jQueryArray($sql);

                ID
                Motivo

        <?php  foreach ($tbl as $value){   ?>

            <?php echo $value['id_motivo'];  ?>
            <?php echo $value['descricao'];  ?>

        <?php  } ?>

Abstract - During 2007, large outbreaks of equine influenza (EI) caused by Florida sublineage Clade 1 viruses affected horse populations in Japan and Australia. The likely protection that would be provided by two modern vaccines commercially available in the European Union (an ISCOM-based and a canarypox-based vaccine) at the time of the outbreaks was determined. Vaccinated ponies were challenged with a representative outbreak isolate (A/eq/Sydney/2888-8/07) and levels of protection were compared.A group of ponies infected 18 months previously with a phylogenetically-related isolate from 2003 (A/eq/South Africa/4/03) was also challenged with the 2007 outbreak virus. After experimental infection with A/eq/Sydney/2888-8/07, unvaccinated control ponies all showed clinical signs of infection together with virus shedding. Protection achieved by both vaccination or long-term immunity induced by previous exposure to equine influenza virus (EIV) was characterised by minor signs of disease and reduced virus shedding when compared with unvaccinated control ponies. The three different methods of virus titration in embryonated hens' eggs, EIV NP-ELISA and quantitative RT-PCR were used to monitor EIV shedding and results were compared. Though the majority of previously infected ponies had low antibody levels at the time of challenge, they demonstrated good clinical protection and limited virus shedding. In summary, we demonstrate that vaccination with current EIV vaccines would partially protect against infection with A/eq/Sydney/2888-8/07-like strains and would help to limit the spread of disease in our vaccinated horse population.

History of Cremona House
Cremona House is now the oldest violin estalishment in th UK and probably the world. With it's original mahogany cabinets and Victorian fittings its like stepping back in time. Very little has changed.
Cremona House has been at the forefront of the British violinmaking since it was established in 1879 by George Darbey, one of the most influential violinmakers of his day and also an extremely talented bowmaker.
It's said that some of his work rivalled that of the French makers. He sold bows to some of the leading virtuosos of his day including Sarasate. When Darbey retired around 1920 the shop was taken over by his Son, Harry, who was a dealer and concert violinist.
He employed Albert Tinney as restorer in the 1930′s who continued to run the shop until Richard Bristow took it over in 1982. A hundred and thirty five years and well into it's second century Cremona House is one of the leading violin shops in Britain and has developed a popularity and excellent reputation for quality craftsmanship and expertise.

Finding the right lawyer can be a difficult job. It used to be considered unprofessional for lawyers to advertise. Those days are gone. Lawyers spend a lot of time and money looking for new clients by advertising. It used to be that the best way to find a lawyer was by being referred by someone else who used that lawyer and was happy with their services. This has not changed. The best way to find a lawyer is from someone you know who has used that lawyer, or by someone you know who knows that lawyer.
It seems like whenever I want to find some type of service these days I go to Google. I type in a search and I get more results than I know what to do with. The problem with this method of finding service providers is that I still know nothing about them (except that they are good at marketing).
How then does one sort out the good lawyer from the good marketer? I have some advice. First, always meet with the lawyer in person. Never hire them over the telephone. Always make sure the lawyer you are meeting with is the lawyer that will be in court with you. Make sure the lawyer you are talking to is familiar with the type of problem you have and the court in which you have it. Ask for references. And don't be afraid to ask the lawyer questions. Remember, he is going to be working for you.
Good marketing and good lawyering are not mutually exclusive. But there is no substitute for a personal consultation and your gut feeling when you meet with your potential attorney. So if he doesn't seem like the right fit for you, maybe he isn't. And never be afraid to ask for a second opinion.

Q: What's the difference between sass and scss commands in the terminal After I installing Sass ruby gem, three new commands have been added into the system: sass, scss and sass-convert. So, my question is what the difference between sass and scss commands is, do they share the same functionality? Because both of them can turn .sass file or .scss file into .css file:
$ sass style.sass style.css
$ sass style.scss style.css
$ scss style.sass style.css
$ scss style.scss style.css
All this four kinds of directives can run correctly.
PS: I'm NOT asking the differences between SCSS syntax and Sass syntax.

A: The command scss is equivalent to sass --scss, where the command sass is equivalent to scss --sass. These two commands (a.k.a. the two options) use different default syntax for syntax selection.
At first, both scss and sass would parse your syntax based on your file extension. (scss would use the sass syntax parser if your file extension is sass, and vice versa.) They would behave the same in this case and that's why you get the correct result.
However, if your file doesn't have a file extension. The command would parse the syntax using the default syntax. For example, the following code would give you correct result because it uses sass syntax parser.
$ scss style.sass style.css

The following code would probably give you a parsing error because it uses scss syntax parser.
$ scss style_sass.txt style.css

A: Using the --help flag on your command would have given you your answer:
sass-convert:
$ sass-convert --help
Usage: sass-convert [options] [INPUT] [OUTPUT]

Description:
  Converts between CSS, Sass, and SCSS files.
  E.g. converts from SCSS to Sass,
  or converts from CSS to SCSS (adding appropriate nesting).

scss:
$ scss --help
Usage: scss [options] [INPUT] [OUTPUT]

Description:
  Converts SCSS or Sass files to CSS.

sass:
$ sass --help
Usage: sass [options] [INPUT] [OUTPUT]

Description:
  Converts SCSS or Sass files to CSS.

A: Sass is a CSS pre-processor with syntax advancements. Style sheets in the advanced syntax are processed by the program, and turned into regular CSS style sheets. However, they do not extend the CSS standard itself.
The main reason for this is the addition of features that CSS painfully lacks (like variables).
Re the difference between SCSS and Sass, the text on the Sass home page should answer the question:
Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.
Sass has two syntaxes. The new main syntax (as of Sass 3) is known as "SCSS" (for "Sassy CSS"), and is a superset of CSS3's syntax. This means that every valid CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. SCSS files use the extension .scss.
The second, older syntax is known as the indented syntax (or just "Sass"). Inspired by Haml's terseness, it's intended for people who prefer conciseness over similarity to CSS. Instead of brackets and semicolons, it uses the indentation of lines to specify blocks. Although no longer the primary syntax, the indented syntax will continue to be supported. Files in the indented syntax use the extension .sass.
However, all this works only with the Sass pre-compiler which in the end creates CSS. It is not an extension to the CSS standard itself.

This is your Minion Master, Steve, transmitting to you from an undisclosed Lair somewhere in Southern California. I just spent about a year at the San Diego Comicon on Thursday. After some soul-searching, we decided we just weren't up to going back for additional days this year. Too hot, too far, and too crowded. The convention itself is intense, but I'm convinced that an Evil Overlord of some sort is in charge. This is like a giant roach motel for 120,000 people. You can get in (barely), but you sure as heck can't get out.
I will say one thing though: it's a good place to make some new evil friends. Here I am with another out-of-towner I've just met. We've agreed that it would be a good idea to ex-ter-mi-nate all the hu-mans, if only to shorten the lines to collect all the really cool shwag I missed out on. About the only seriously cool thing I picked up were some huge S.H.I.E.L.D. magnets from the Hasbro booth. My new friend had even less, but then again, that could be because his goodie-bag kept slipping off his toilet-plunger arm.
I'll post more pictures of Comicon on my regular blog, the Multiplex, when I get time.
We will be continuing back to Oregon Sunday (yesterday, as I'm transporting a time portal that could cause the collapse of the universe as you know it), via Reno, NV, where we'll spend a few days searching for further evil to participate in. I've never been to Reno before, so it will be an adventure.
We resume our after-post, already in progress.

We have grown from serving 90 students and 20 teachers to reaching more than 655,000 youth and 4,520 teachers across 25 states and five countries, an expansion made possible by the dedication and passion of World Savvy's 13 staff members, 400 volunteers, and numerous community partners across our offices in San Francisco, New York and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Today, World Savvy is a national leader and pioneer in the field – defining and leading efforts to sustainably and deeply integrate global competence into teaching and learning at all levels, and particularly for historically marginalized youth.

Our work ensures students develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for global competence in the 21st century.


A financial advisor is a good resource to consider utilizing due to the fact that they are able to assist you when it comes to planning for any major life goals or large purchases. Listed below are two reasons to utilize a financial advisor to help you manage your finances and investments.
One of the biggest reasons to utilize a financial advisor is that they will be able to create a financial plan specifically for your individual goals. In most cases, a financial advisor will be required to undergo training in order to be able to determine which investments are most suitable for the various goals and risk tolerances of their clients.
For example, if an individual is looking to make a major life purchase in a relatively short amount of time, the financial advisor will present a series of investments and plans that will include riskier investments simply because those investments will potentially have a higher rate of return in the short term. However, if an individual is planning for an event later in their life, such as retirement or a college education for one of their young children, then the financial advisor will recommend less risky investments that have a lower rate of return because the money will have a higher chance of being there when the client actually needs it and there is enough of a time buffer to allow the investments to mature.
Another reason to utilize a financial advisor is that they will be willing to review possible new investments on your behalf in order to determine if those investments are a good idea for you and your financial future. For example, if a family member or friend approaches you with an investment or business idea, the financial advisor will be able to look over the investment and let you know if he or she would recommend it based on how risky it can be and the impact it would have on some of your other long-term goals.
This can also apply to large purchases, such as a home. In that situation, the financial advisor can look at the size of the house, the interest rate on the mortgage, and the monthly mortgage payments in order to help you decide if the house is a good deal for you and how purchasing that home may actually help or hinder some of your other goals, such as being able to retire early.
Contact a financial advisor at companies like Harwood Financial Group to discuss the many benefits that working with them can provide and how they may be able to help you plan for the future. You will want to utilize a financial advisor because they will create a financial plan specifically for your individual goals and review possible new investments for you in order to ensure that they are suitable.

Blood Diner
So bad it's good? I wouldn't go that far. But Blood Diner is definitely something—a no-frills pastiche of 1950s disembodied-brain sci-fi potboiler, 1960s Herschell Gordon Lewis splatter movie, 1970s cannibal-cuisine flick, and early-1980s buddy-cop movie. I'm tempted to say it stitches together a Frankenstein's patchwork of genre movies because it has no vision of its own, but that's too glib. If nothing else, 20-something Asian-American director Jackie Kong (Night Patrol) loves L.A.: she wrapped all of those genre influences around a love letter to the city's underground music scene circa 1987, casting punk rockers and rockabilly singers as extras, bit players, and movie stars in a story about a pair of pretty-boy sibling serial killers who run a popular foodie destination on Hollywood Boulevard where the vegetarian dishes are, unbeknownst to patrons, boosted by the presence of human flesh in the recipe.

Q: Configuring Azure Pipeline to pull from Github hosted repository I am currently using an Azure DevOps pipeline to trigger a terraform plan against an existing infrastructure.
Within this pipeline during the terraform init stage, terraform will analyze the scripts and download modules from an external repository. During the initial stage of running this pipeline we encountered the following error.
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

which we temporarily resolved using PAT
git config --global url."https://$(GITHUB-USER-ACCT):$(GITHUB-PERSONAL-ACCESS-TOKEN)@github.com".insteadOf https://github.com

However as this adds the additional load of maintaining a PAT, I was wondering whether we can move from this method to an method of using the GitHub Service connection (Which is automatically created when creating the pipeline) to be used as an authentication mechanism. This Service connection was created using the OAuth application. The Service connection that we used has read permissions on the centralized repository which contains the Terraform modules.
The following link describes how to do this for a Azure Hosted repository. Is there any way to accomplish this for a Repo hosted in GitHub.

A: As you have mentioned that adding the PAT token is resolving temporarily already but getting the additional load, you could try below solutions once:
Solution 1:

*

*If you're using Windows OS, open Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials > Remove the credentials like git: https://github.com

Then clone again, git will let you input the credential for the repo. After inputing the username(email address) and password which can access the VSTS account, the repo should be cloned successful.

*Installed GIT Credential Manager for Windows. https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases

*Open command prompt and enter command  git fetch and continue the work like Push, Pull etc and check once it is working good.
Solution 2:
Remove C:\Users(profile)\AppData\Local\GitCredentialManager\tenant.cache file
Solution 3:
Another solution is to "Allow scripts to access the OAuth token" in the job options:

In the git push use the System.AccessToken:
git push https://$env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN@dev.azure.com/......
And give push permissions to the build user (in the repo settings):

Capitol Conversation: Midway through the Session
By Bente Birkeland
· Mar. 9, 2015, 3:40 pm
91.5 KRCC
State lawmakers are midway through the annual legislative session. Bente Birkeland talked with Ivan Moreno with the Associated Press and Charles Ashby with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel to discuss police reform bills and workforce development measures that will get a lot of attention in the coming weeks.
House Democrats would like law enforcement to increase the use of body cameras, set up a special prosecutor to review decisions when a law enforcement official isn't charged when there are allegations of deadly force, ban choke holds, and collect demographic data on arrests.
What are the chances for passage?
Ivan Moreno: Associated Press
"It's hard to say at the moment. These bills haven't been introduced aside from the data collection bill, so a lot of lawmakers haven't looked at them yet."
"The Democrats in the house are working on a package of bills, aimed at both limiting the power of law enforcement and also putting more oversight on their practices. This is a response to the ongoing national debate about excessive force by police."
Meanwhile legislators in both parties seem to be coalescing around providing more workforce training to help people across the state get good paying jobs and enter the workforce.
Charles Ashby: Grand Junction Daily Sentinel
"Getting to the second half of the session and the lawmakers are basically looking for something to say at the end of the session that [they] did."
"They're looking at things like helping college students have lower debts in going to school. They're looking at promoting programs that allow people to get vocational training rather than necessarily a four full years of college with a degree."

In doing some reasearch, I learned that some of what they show is "programmed" into the way Google runs it's queries.
Their goal is to find the sites that help answer the question that is asked. And there is seemingly no way to get your site on the short list.
Of course in looking at the list of sites I wondered why none of the sites I typically go to, or would think to go to, or know of for that matter, are on the shortlist.
I wondered where NCTM was. I wondered where AMTE was. I wondered where AMTNYS (or any other state-level resource).
To tell you the truth, I thought at the top of the list would be Pinterest.
Here are a few sites I've happened upon recently that inspire me… What are your favorite sites?

Colorado Eagles are Back on Ice Tonight-Series Tied at 1
Denver Post via Getty Images
The Colorado Eagles quest for their second Kelly Cup resumes this evening in Florida.
The championship series kicked off this past Friday at the Budweiser Events Center as the Eagles, fresh off their Western Conference Championship against Fort Wayne, took advantage of home ice and beat the Everblades 3-1 in game one. In game two, the Eagles were close wrapping up the win, but the Everblades slapped in the winning shot with :36 seconds left in the game. Florida won 4-3 and tied the series at one game a-piece.
The next three games will be in Florida. If need be, game six will be at the Budweiser Events Center on June 6th, but that will be their last home game of the season and their last in the ECHL as the will be moving to the AHL next season.
Here's the schedule and results for the Kelly Cup thus far:
FRIDAY-MAY 25TH: FLORIDA 1, COLORADO 3

One of the most worrisome trends that is consuming children today is drug abuse. In India, drug abuse among school children and those in higher secondary school is increasing rapidly. Some parents may completely avoid the subject if they are not sure what to say. However, confronting it and talking about it your kids will increase awareness.
These days, many children are turning to their parents' medicine cabinet for prescription drugs. Know what is in your cabinet and lock it. The same goes for alcohol. Be aware of what you have and keep it out of sight and in a place your child cannot access it.
As children get older, it may be harder to stay involved, but it is important for a parent to be there physically as well as emotionally. Attend events that involve your child, like a sports game or a recital. Also, lend your emotional support by asking about your child's day and letting him or her know that you are there for support if your child seems upset. Your presence will allow for open lines of communication, making your child feel more comfortable discussing problems and asking questions. It will also allow you to see what is going on in your child's life and get to know the friends and other children he or she is socializing with.
Though you may not realize it, your behavior impacts your child more than you know. Set examples of having fun without alcohol. Do not discuss stories of alcohol or drug use when you were young unless they come with a lesson. If you take a lighthearted approach toward stories involving you, your child may think that he or she should follow suit, or that you would not be upset if he or she abused substances.
Sometimes parents make rules unclear or enforce them too harshly, causing children to react negatively or rebel. Set warranted ground for bad behavior and talk about the rules with your child to make sure he or she understands them. Like any behavior, reward your child for acting appropriately and enforce punishment if he or she behaves poorly. If a child understands and respects your limits, he or she will be less likely to push them.
Aside from setting a good example, it is imperative to address the topic of drugs and alcohol early on. Be informed and clear. Discuss the harmful effects of alcohol and drugs on the body as well as the legal consequences associated with them. Let your child know your feelings about using drugs or alcohol and share an example of a time when you refused drugs or alcohol. Outline what you said and what good came out of the situation. A clear example may help a child understand what to do when a situation presents itself.

Confronting Sexual Abuse by Health Care Professionals
It's time to establish an independent body to oversee the implementation of recommendations from the 2015 Sexual Abuse Task Force.
By Doreen Nicoll
The Ontario government has appointed the Sexual Abuse Task Force to review the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. The Act governing all regulated health professions in the province was meant to prevent, and deal with, the sexual abuse of patients by regulated health professionals.
In Ontario, health professionals are represented by twenty-three regulatory colleges that will have input into forming the recommendations that emerge from the Sexual Abuse Task Force.
Included under this umbrella are doctors, chiropodists and podiatrists, occupational therapists, dentists and dental hygienists, pharmacists, massage therapists, medical laboratory technologists, speech-language pathologists, midwives, nurses, opticians, physiotherapists, psychologist, and respiratory therapists.
Patients rely on healthcare providers to dispense information, help, treatment, and referrals while respecting their right to privacy. This inherent trust and reliance creates an imbalance of power in favour of the professional. It is particularly troubling when a health professional uses this leverage to sexually abuse a patient.
According to the federal government website SexAssault.ca, if a patient reports a sexual assault to police, the medical society will probably become involved. However, if a patient discloses to the medical society then the governing body may not be obligated to report the crime to police.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has a mandate to protect the public, but because medicine is a self-regulated profession, the college has a vested interest in protecting its members. There is no guarantee what, if any, action the college may take against a doctor who sexually assaults a patient.
Two experts form the Minister's Sexual Abuse Task Force: Marilou McPhedran, Human Rights Lawyer and Educator and chair of the previous two panels that reviewed the Regulated Health Professions Act; and Sheila Macdonald (Educator and Registered Nurse).
As in 1991 and 2000, the task force does not include patients with lived experience.
It's not a question of establishing how much evidence there is of patient sexual abuse. The 1991 panel heard from hundreds of patients and the parents of patients. We know sexual abuse by health professionals happens and we know that the victims are most often women and youth.
It's time for patients and their families to share their lived experiences and offer recommendations to the panel that will help create policy that is not only protective of patients but supportive of those that disclose sexual abuse by health practitioners.
Recommendations from panels are a start, but they're ineffective if shelved or executed in a less-than-timely fashion. It's time to establish an independent body to oversee the implementation of recommendations from the 2015 Sexual Abuse Task Force.
It's also time to create an independent body to conduct unbiased investigations into complaints of sexual assault against health professionals and to impose remedies that back up Ontario's commitment to zero tolerance of sexual abuse.
If you have experienced patient sexual abuse then the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC) would like to hear from you. During the month of April OCRCC will be conducting private and supportive interviews for survivors of patient sexual abuse.
Please contact Nicole Pietsch via her OCRCC email: ocrcccoordinator@hotmail.com or by phone at 905-299-4428 (all calls are confidential).
