Wayo Tuka is one of the Aanaas in the Oromia of Ethiopia. It is part of the East Welega Zone. It was separated from Guto Wayu woreda. It is bounded by Sibu Sire in the north and east, Leka Dulecha in the south, and Guto Gida in
west. Gute is the administrative center.

Demographics
The 2007 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 63,180, of whom 30,879 were men and 32,301 were women; none of its population were urban dwellers. The majority of the inhabitants observed Protestantism, with 58.8% reporting that as their religion, while 28.71% observed Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, and 9.15% were Catholics.

There's been some recent interest again in the BenQ S6, originally released in 2008 for the Italian market by TIM. There seems to have appeared a fresh supply of unopened stock, so I picked up a new, unopened box for $60 USD, delivered. Not a bad price for something that originally went for $450-$500 USD depending on the Euro conversion rate, and had people salivating, including me.
With my new MID in mind, I've created this web page to document the customizations and changes I've made to the device. It's taken a fair amount of research, but once I had everything in order, program installs were not that difficult.
Look to the right to see short descriptions and links to detailed steps I took for each link and other information.

← Halloween: the Eternal Spiritual Fire
Amazing Animal and Human Encounters →
Posted on November 7, 2014 by Theosophy Watch | Leave a comment
THE spiritual sun of consciousness manifests by degrees, not in humans alone, but the legacy of all kingdoms of nature as befits the plan of their particular hierarchy — from atoms to stars.
Samhain, origin of Halloween, for example, is similar to the Gothic samana, and the Sanskrit sámana — the Hindu God Krishna — all symbols of man's Higher Diviner Nature.
It is such universal spiritual forces that manifest cyclically during mankind's darkest times. And the whole of nature, visible and invisible, benefits from such cycles, it is taught in esoteric cycles — wisely appointed beneficent spiritual impulses.
It is no less than in the Bhagavad-Gita (IV:31), where Krishna, the Higher Self of all human beings, assures his disciple Arjuna that he is continually reborn as a a world benefactor.
It is only selfish Buddhas, the "Pratyekas", he taught, who remain in the their selfish state of personal Nirvana and refuse to reach out to help others. Corresponding examples of such evil separateness can be found in all walks of life in every culture and clime.
"I produce myself among creatures whenever there is a decline of virtue and an insurrection of vice and injustice in the world," says Krishna, "and thus
I incarnate from age to age for the preservation of the just, the destruction of the wicked, and the establishment of righteousness."
Our daily sleeping and waking cycles correspond to this universal impulse which daily transports us to our true home. Dreamless sleep is a state "in which even criminals commune through the higher nature with spiritual beings, and enter into the spiritual plane," wrote W. Q. Judge in Three Planes of Human Life.
Animals have many dream states too, and dreamless states where they commune consciously or unconsciously in varying degrees, depending on the kingdom to which they belong, with the spiritual hierarchies of their particular degree.
"It is the great spiritual reservoir by means of which the tremendous momentum toward evil living is held in check. And because it is involuntary, it is constantly salutary in its effect."
In an ideal world, perfect harmony and balance between man and nature would be the norm. Thus, the keynote of Mme. Blavatsky's worldview was the just and moral treatment of all the beings in nature, the First Object of the Theosophical Society, Universal Brotherhood.
This foundational teaching of Theosophy is expressed in The Secret Doctrine, Summing Up #5, which states that "everything in the Universe, throughout all its kingdoms, is conscious," and
"…endowed with a consciousness of its own kind and on its own plane of perception."
Consequently, Mme. Blavatsky was adamant in opposing animal cruelty. She spoke out forcefully against sport hunting, foxes, birds and big game, and most strongly against vivisection — animals in biological experiments.
"If these humble lines could make a few readers seriously turn their thoughts to all the horrors of vivisection," Blavatsky wished, "the writer would be content."
Animal Emotions
The true emotions in animals are attested to in this video documenting their emotions, especially those of man's best friend.
"Other permanent tortures, daily inflicted on the poor brutes, will" — Mme. Blavatsky predicted in her article Have Animals Souls? — "after calling forth an outburst from society generally, force all Governments to put an end to those barbarous and shameful practices."
"Man is endowed with reason, the infant with instinct, and the young animal shows more of both than the child."
This was nearly 70 years before the widespread animal testing in universities and commercial laboratories. Yet now, animal testing has been cited in impartial studies as being scientifically unnecessary.
"By 1996, 'cruelty-free' shopping had become popular, but it was also confusing, sometimes misleading, and ultimately frustrating," according to the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) — eight national animal protection groups banded together.
Rupert Sheldrake: The Unexplained Powers of Animals
Inner qualities of light and love recognized in humankind, are strongly expressed in Nature through many of her creatures, especially those of the canine kind!
According to Wikipedia, the domestic dog has been "the most widely kept working, hunting and companion animal in human history."
The two oldest religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, Mme. Blavatsky said, "regard the animal world
"… from the huge quadruped down to the infinitesimally small insect, as their 'younger brothers.'"
Be Cruelty Free
We humans can be surprised and confused when we notice an animal behaving like us. We also tend to be especially reluctant to credit them with any human-like intelligence.
But students of Theosophy recognize in the phenomena evidence of a far grander view of evolution from their studies, i.e. that all evolution is "triple" — physical, mental, and spiritual.
There is a familiar fundamental in Theosophy which states that:
"There is no such thing as either 'dead' or 'blind' matter, as there is no 'Blind' or 'Unconscious' Law."
There is consciousness even in stones, Mme. Blavatsky maintained, and "we men must remember that because we do not perceive any signs, which we can recognize, of consciousness" in them, "we have no right to say that no consciousness exists there"
Hero Dog Saves
Kittens from Fire
Check out the following clip of Leo the dog and ask yourself, how many of us could match the courage and caring of this pint-sized spiritual being?
Leo, a Jack Russell cross, refused to leave the building during a fire. Believing one person unaccounted for, firemen entered the house, where they found him standing guard over the kittens despite the thick, acrid smoke.
Outside, Leo, who had lost consciousness and stopped breathing, was revived, with rescuers giving him oxygen and a heart massage. The kittens, in a cardboard box in a bedroom, also needed treatment. In the end, all fully recovered, including the hero of the day, little Leo.

Iodine is a trace mineral needed to produce thyroid hormones necessary to maintain normal metabolism.* People who avoid dairy, seafood, processed food and iodized salt can become deficient of iodine.
Kelp, a type of brown algae from the Laminaria species, is a rich source of nutrients, especially iodine. A healthy thyroid requires iodine to function properly. It utilizes iodine to manufacture the hormone thyroxine which supports metabolism. Lindberg Kelp is sourced from the clear, clean waters off non-industrial coasts of France. The small, easy-to-swallow tablets provide a vegetarian/vegan source of iodine.
Tri-Iodine provides three beneficial forms of iodine to nourish multiple body systems; a blend of potassium iodide, sodium iodide, and molecular iodine. Three forms of iodine provide a wider spectrum of benefits: Potassium iodide and sodium iodide for hormone balance and immune health.* Take 1 capsule daily.

ASPEN FILM ANNOUNCES 26TH ANNUAL ACADEMY SCREENINGS PROGRAM
30 Nov ASPEN FILM ANNOUNCES 26TH ANNUAL ACADEMY SCREENINGS PROGRAM
Posted at 12:20h in In the News, Press Releases	by	Regna Jones
Lineup includes a selection of the year's most notable titles
Aspen, CO (November 30, 2017) – Aspen Film today announced its full program of 29 feature films which comprise the 26th Academy Screenings at the historic Wheeler Opera House and the Paepcke Auditorium, both in Aspen. This annual film series, which has now been a part of Aspen's holiday tradition for over a quarter-century, running December 19-30, 2017, is a showcase that highlights a cross-section of the forthcoming awards-season contenders.
The series will open on December 19th with Craig Gillespie's highly anticipated I, TONYA at the Wheeler. The series closes on December 30th at the Paepcke Auditorium with the award-winning THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI.
As a longtime favorite winter destination for voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), WGA, DGA, PGA, SAG-AFTRA and other applicable guilds, what began as an intimate and exclusive industry-only event has grown into an Aspen holiday tradition, bringing together film professionals, visitors and residents alike. The intention of these screenings, like the Oscars, is to celebrate cinematic achievement across a variety of categories and not just the obvious Best Picture, Director, Screenplay and Actor.
Jane Schoettle, Program Director for the Academy Screenings and Aspen Film's October Filmfest shares, "In a year filled with remarkable filmmaking achievements, it is both unusual and gratifying that there are not necessarily dominant frontrunners – in almost every category – in the race towards Oscar. I feel this creates an exciting atmosphere for both our 'civilian' audience and Aspen's guild members, encouraging them in to delve deeply into our programming and experience these contenders on the big screen."
Narrative: THE BEGUILED, directed by Sofia Coppola (Focus Features); THE BIG SICK directed by Michael Showalter (Amazon Studios/Lionsgate Entertainment); BRAD'S STATUS, directed by Mike White (Annapurna Pictures); THE BREADWINNER, directed by Nora Twomey (GKids); COCO, directed by Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures); THE FLORIDA PROJECT, directed by Sean Baker (A24; GET OUT, directed by Jordan Peele (Universal Pictures); I, TONYA, directed by Craig Gillespie (Neon); LADYBIRD, directed by Greta Gerwig (A24); LAST FLAG FLYING, directed by Richard Linklater (Amazon Studios); THE MEYEROWITZ STORIES (NEW AND SELECTED), directed by Noah Baumbach (Netflix); MUDBOUND, directed by Dee Reese (Netflix); THE POST, directed by Steven Spielberg (Twentieth Century Fox); ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ., directed by Dan Gilroy (Columbia Pictures); THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, directed by Martin McDonagh (Fox Searchlight Pictures); VICTORIA & ABDUL, directed by Stephen Frears (Focus Features); WIND RIVER, directed by Taylor Sheridan (Acacia Pictures); WONDERSTRUCK, directed by Todd Haynes (Amazon Studios)
Documentaries: CITY OF GHOSTS, directed by Matthew Heineman (Amazon Studios); DINA, directed by Antonio Santini (The Orchard); HUMAN FLOW, directed by Ai Weiwei (Magnolia Pictures/Amazon Studios/Participant Media); ICARUS, directed by Bryan Fogel (Netflix); KEDI, directed by Ceyda Torun (Oscilloscope); STRONG ISLAND, directed by Yance Ford (Netflix)
Foreign Language: BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE) (France), directed by Robin Campillo (The Orchard); FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER (Cambodia), directed by Angelina Jolie (Netflix); IN THE FADE (Germany), directed by Fatih Akin (Magnolia Pictures); SUMMER 1993 (Spain), directed by Carla Simon (Oscilloscope); THELMA (Norway), directed by Joachim Trier (The Orchard)
"The lineup of 2017 Aspen Film Academy Screenings is as varied and diverse as the Academy is becoming. It's still anyone's race across many categories, and we are excited to be sharing so many of this year's cinematic achievements with you," says Aspen Film Executive Director, Susan Wrubel
"With so many elevated and well-crafted films, our programmer Jane Schoettle had some tough decisions to make, cutting her selections to 29 of this year's most laudable titles. Hopefully something for everyone, and as ever, we endeavor to enlighten, enrich, educate and entertain through cinema."
The 26th Aspen Film Academy Screenings full program is online now at aspenfilm.org. Tickets will be available through the Wheeler Opera House box office: aspenshowtix.com or 970.920.5770 / 866.449.0464. General Admission tickets are available for $20, and $15 for Aspen Film Members.
Voting members of AMPAS, BAFTA, WGA, DGA, PGA, SAG-AFTRA and other applicable guilds receive a complimentary Industry Pass to Academy Screenings, which allows complimentary entry 30 minutes prior to all screenings and events. To obtain a pass please contact Aspen Film directly by email (regna@aspenfilm.org) or phone (970.925.6882).

This article contains information about the series of tests with MS Surface Pro 3, that was performed with various versions of Artec Studio (Artec Studio 10 - in 2015, Artec Studio 11 - in 2015 and Artec Studio 12 - in 2017).
Note: Pay attention that 8 Gb RAM is lower than the recommended hardware specifications.
Speed up real-time 3D-reconstruction by decreasing Triangle Step in Artec Studio. Navigate to File - Settings - Scan - Use default real-time settings - Set Triangle Step from 6 to 8.
Scanning speed on MS Surface is slower comparing to Razer Edge Pro. Artec Eva scanning speed is 7-10 FPS in "Geometry + Texture" mode and 12-14 FPS in "Geometry" mode (maximum is 16 FPS).
We captured the full body in "Geometry + Texture" mode and recorded about 2500 frames without any problem. The only issue is that after 3000 captured frames the RAM is full, so it is a good idea to stop scanning and unload some data at this point.
Note that real-time fusion mode is not available for Surface in Artec Studio 10, since this scanning mode requires powerful NVIDIA/ATI card.
Overall Artec Eva works with MS Surface Pro 3 in Artec Studio 11 and 12 in "Geometry + Texture" scanning mode. However, we won't recommend using MS Surface Pro 3 due to its relatively low performance: at some point, FPS drops from 10 to 3 frames per second scanning speed which makes scanning process uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Surface Pro 3 has an outdated hardware in terms of RAM amount and processor model (check the link to benchmark above), that's why we recommend using Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet together with Artec Studio 11 and 12.
Note: Artec Eva Lite operates in "Geometry only" mode, so it can be used on both MS Surface Pro 3 and Pro 4 tablets.

A Revolutionary Project To Identify Cancer Genes
Scientists are setting up a £10 million Cancer Genome Project, which will use the rapidly emerging data from the Human Genome Project to find the gene abnormalities associated with all forms of human cancers.
Press Office20 Oct 1999
A major initiative aimed at identifying the genes that cause cancer is to be established in the UK. Scientists are setting up a £10 million Cancer Genome Project, which will use the rapidly emerging data from the Human Genome Project to find the gene abnormalities associated with all forms of human cancers. The research will provide vital information for understanding the abnormal biological processes in human cancers and hence assist drug development programmes to combat the disease.
Funded by the Wellcome Trust, the world's largest medical research charity, the Cancer Genome Project will be led by Professor Michael Stratton and Dr Richard Wooster of the Institute of Cancer Research, and sited at the Sanger Centre in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire - already renowned for its leading role in the international Human Genome Project.
The Sanger Centre forms part of an international consortium which is sequencing the DNA of humankind - our genetic blueprint that contains approximately 100,000 genes. This sequence data will provide Professor Stratton and his team with a vital framework on which to build the Cancer Genome Project.
This landmark project will be one of the first examples of how the complete information emerging from the Human Genome Project can be used in understanding human disease. It will provide an opportunity to develop the necessary technology by combining the expertise of biologists and geneticists with the enormous experimental and analytical power of a world leading genome research facility. The technological advances made through the Cancer Genome Project will impact on the study of other human diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
"Abnormalities in DNA sequence underlie the development of all types of cancer. The data emerging from the Human Genome Project will give us the normal blueprint against which we can then compare the DNA sequence in cancers and so work out which genes are abnormal."
Professor Mike Stratton, Institute of Cancer Research
"The daunting challenge is that the human genome sequence is huge, composed of approximately 3,000 million letters of code. This award from the Wellcome Trust will enable us to develop approaches which will allow systematic examination of the whole genome in large numbers of cancers and thus detect as many of the abnormal genes as possible. Ultimately, identification of these genes will highlight the weak points in cancer cells with which we can interfere and treat the disease."
At present, it is impossible to pinpoint the genomic location of many cancer-associated genes and often only large, poorly defined areas on the 'gene map' can be identified as having a link with the disease. The Cancer Genome Project will make use of the entire human genome sequence data generated by the Sanger Centre together with very high throughput mutation detection techniques to adopt a global and systematic approach to the identification of cancer genes.
Given the resources available to the Wellcome Trust and its support of the Sanger Centre, the Trust is in a unique position to offer the facilities for a project which represents a natural progression of the Trust's substantial investment in genomics.
"The Trust is committed to the Human Genome Project at the Sanger Centre and has been since its inception in 1992. With completion of this project scheduled for 2003, we want to ensure that research is directed into exploiting genomic data to maximise potential benefits for the future of healthcare. The Cancer Genome Project is a excellent example of how the research community can use sequencing data and focus on specific disease genes."
Dr Michael Dexter, Director of the Wellcome Trust
The Wellcome Trust's longstanding policy of not funding research that is exclusively based on cancer remains in place. The Trust will continue to provide support for proposals which may include cancer only in the context of exploring fundamental biological questions. In addition, the Wellcome Trust will continue to work in collaboration with funding agencies on research programmes associated with cancer when appropriate.
Professor Michael Stratton and Dr Richard Wooster are cancer geneticists and have been based at the Institute of Cancer Research for eight and two years respectively. Together, in 1995, they discovered the BRCA2 gene. Inherited mutations in BRCA2 greatly increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
Additional support for the Cancer Genome Project will be provided by the Institute of Cancer Research, The Cancer Research Campaign, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust.
One in three people in the West develop cancer and one in five die of the disease. There are over 100 different types of cancer.
The Sanger Centre (http://www.sanger.ac.uk) is one of the world's largest genome sequencing centres. It has funding from the Wellcome Trust to sequence a third of the 3000 million base human genome. The Sanger Centre and the Wellcome Trust have been at the forefront of efforts to keep the human sequence data in the public domain to allow equal access by all to our common genetic heritage.
The Wellcome Trust has a longstanding policy of not funding research which is exclusively clinical cancer research - that is, research which is only relevant to cancer and cannot be applied to other diseases and fundamental biological processes. Examples of past Trust research associated with cancer include: support to the Sanger Centre who collaborated with Professor Stratton and Dr Wooster in research to isolate the breast cancer gene, BRCA2; and joint funding of the Wellcome/CRC Institute for Developmental Biology.
The Wellcome Trust is the world's largest medical research charity with an annual spend of £400 million. The Wellcome Trust supports more than 3,000 researchers at 300 locations in 30 different countries - laying the foundations for the development of new and better treatment of diseases in the next century and helping to maintain the UK's reputation as one of the world's leading scientific nations. As well as funding major initiatives in the public understanding of science, the Wellcome Trust is the country's leading supporter of research into the history of medicine.

A Camp for Healthy Habits
Native Youth Preventing Diabetes is for American Indian kids ages 8 to 12
April 2014 Prediabetes, Child, Health and Heritage, Resources---Information,
Kids learn at Native Youth Preventing Diabetes camp, but they have time for fun and fitness, too.
Five nights of camp may make a lifetime of difference for kids at great risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Native Youth Preventing Diabetes (NYPD) in Shawnee, Okla., is a five-day overnight camp devoted to helping kids build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Now in its 13th year, NYPD serves about 140 Native American kids every year, says Michelle Dennison, MS, RD, LD, BC-ADM, CDE, director and cofounder of the camp. Campers must be sponsored by one of 18 Oklahoma tribes that support the camp in order to attend.
"This is primarily and almost solely an education camp," Dennison says. "We do classes on nutrition, on diabetes prevention, on self-esteem and coping, and we intersperse things like swimming and physical activities."
The youth are 8 to 12 years old, and most are overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk for type 2 diabetes, which is more common in American Indians than in any other racial group. So the camp's medical staff of primary care doctors, registered dietitians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and fitness trainers is on site all week. Staff members test the kids' fasting blood glucose levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other indicators of health, and share the results with parents and the children's tribal doctors.
The combination of health screenings, education, and physical activities, presented specifically for American Indian kids, makes NYPD camp special, says Lancer Stephens, PhD, a volunteer at the camp and a member of the American Diabetes Association's American Indian/Alaska Native Initiative Subcommittee. And he knows that the messages from camp are getting through to kids—and their families.
"To go to the camp and see 150 little ones running around, it just gives you life," Stephens says. "It never fails, there's always a mother that will call one of the dietitians at the camp and say, 'My son won't let me buy Cap'n Crunch anymore, my daughter won't let me cook like this anymore.' We're changing lives. This is why we preach the message and do what we do."
ADA Diabetes Camps may still have openings for this summer's sessions. Visit diabetes.org/camps to find a camp near you.

Q: Action of Isometries on a Line in the Plane I'm trying to determine the stabilizer of a line in a plane when acted upon by the group of isometries of the plane. Please note that I'm using the notation found in the Wikipedia article on Euclidean plane isometries.
I've identified (and hopefully exhausted) the following isometries that will 'fix' a line $l$ set-wise. For the point-wise case, clearly only the identity transformation will work.

*

*The identity transformation

*Rotation about a point on the line by $\pi$ radians, i.e. $R_{c,\pi}$ for any point $c$ on the line $l$. I think this can also be expressed as $R_{c,\pi}=T_cR_{\pi}T_{-c}$

*Translation in a direction parallel to the line, i.e. $T_v$ where $v$ is a vector parallel to $l$

*Reflection about $l$ itself, i.e. $F_{\alpha,u}$ for any $\alpha$ lying on $l$, $u$ perpendicular to $l$

*Reflection about any line perpendicular to $l$, i.e. $F_{\beta, v}$ for any $\beta$ in the plane, with $v$ parallel to $l$
I can't think of any more, but if I've missed any out, I'd be very grateful to learn of them. This leads me into my questions:

How can I 'formally' express the response to the given question:
The group G of isometries of the plane acts on the set of lines in the plane. Determine
the stabilizer of a line in the plane.

Is there a better way of responding than just listing the isometries, as I have done here? i.e. Can we notate the set of the required isomteries more neatly?
Also,

How can I express reflections of the form $F_{\gamma,w}$ for some point $\gamma$ and some vector $w$ in the plane in terms of translations by some vector, rotations about some point and reflections about the $e_1$ axis? I book I'm working through by Artin states that any isometry $m$ can be written in the form $m=T_aR_{0,\theta}$ or $m=T_aR_{0,\theta}r$ where $r$ is a reflection in the $e_1$ axis.

Many thanks to anyone who can help. Best,

A: You seem to be missing glide reflections. For any translation along a line you can reflect across the line getting a glide reflection. They are in the wikipedia article you sited.

Rubicon Global To Help Raw Juce Move Towards Zero Waste
Rubicon Global announces that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Raw Juce to help move the company toward zero waste. Rubicon Global is a technology company that powers a digital marketplace, provides a suite of SaaS products for waste, recycling, and smart city solutions, and collects and analyzes data for businesses and governments worldwide.
Founded in 2010, Raw Juce is on a mission to serve its customer base in their journey to live a healthier lifestyle by creating great tasting organic cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. The company currently has nine locations across Florida. At Raw Juce's main manufacturing facility in Boca Raton, Florida, more than 20 different organic juices are cold-pressed every day and shipped to each location. This daily manufacturing process results in approximately 2,000 pounds of raw fruit and vegetable pulp being produced per day.
After sitting with Rubicon® executives and mapping out a sustainability program for their company, Rubicon will work with Raw Juce to divert all of its approximately 2,000 pounds of raw pulp produced daily away from landfills toward a local farm in Boca Raton, where the pulp will be used as organic animal feed, creating a truly circular waste solution for this growing small business.
"At Raw Juce, we have a commitment to help our customers live healthier, and that commitment transcends directly to the planet as well—doing our part to help the world we live in be healthier too," said Steve Shaffer, Co-Founder at Raw Juce. "We are thrilled to be able to collaborate with Rubicon as a partner, leveraging their insights, expertise, and connections in the world of sustainability, to help us on the path toward zero waste."
"Getting to zero waste is a journey, and we are so excited to help Raw Juce shift to a more circular model," said David Rachelson, Vice President of Sustainability at Rubicon Global. "Our company's mission is to end waste, and we look forward to working with Raw Juce to help them implement smart sustainability solutions that keep product out of the landfills, and into environmentally responsible reuses.

Progressive but not centre-left? Best not to …
On Sunday we had an interesting juxtaposition.
The Observer declared that Ed Miliband 'opens the door to future co-operation with the Liberal Democrats', contrasting Tory policies with 'progressive ones' and inviting Liberal Democrats to join him on the side of progress. This resonates with his previous attempt to appeal to the putative 'progressive majority' as the banner under which left-leaning Lib Dems might align with Labour to dislodge the Tories.
While I was reading this Observer piece Nick Clegg was interviewed on Andrew Marr's show. Lib Dem commentators have already noted that Nick's performance contained some promising signs of differentiation from the Tories, although some of his comments on health reform were perhaps not quite what some would have hoped for (as noted, for example, on Caron's Musings here) .
One thing that struck me during this interview was that Andrew Marr invited Nick Clegg to endorse the view that the Liberal Democrats are a party of the centre-left. Nick noticeably effected a bit of a swerve in order to avoid doing so. Instead he restated his view that the Liberal Democrats were a progressive party.
That is not surprising. It is a position he's occupied for a while. At Spring Conference he stated emphatically that the Liberal Democrats were a party of the centre. But it was perhaps more striking than usual on Sunday because it came in the context of a discussion of Liberal Democrat differentiation from the Tories, which effectively entails taking positions that are to the left of the Tories. Whether that puts you in the centre or on the centre-left is a matter of judgement, I guess, depending on where you think the Tories are.
Nick is trying to stake out a position that is progressive but not of the left. I'm not sure this is a strategy that is likely to bear a great deal of fruit. For two reasons.
First, the "progressive but not (centre) left" position is rather vague. Few people would be able to state very clearly what the position might mean, how it might be represented, or the policy implications that might flow from it.
Second, in political discourse the left have, in my view, successfully laid claim to the term 'progressive'. The Liberal Democrats might seek to appropriate the term and make claims to being similarly progressive. Or the Liberal Democrats might appropriate the term and try to redefine it, but that seems to me to be a strategy for creating nothing but confusion. The last thing the party needs to be doing is creating one sort of impression in the minds of voters while intending something different. That way lies discontent, as I think we know.
We might argue that Labour's claims to be 'progressive' are highly suspect. Certainly that is the position that Nick and other Liberal Democrats have taken. Hence, it isn't that we're redefining the term so much as denying that Labour are progressive in their own terms. We might equally argue that the progressive majority in Britain is a myth and that the Liberal Democrats are the only 'progressive' party in town. The AV election result might be taken as lending support to that view. This is a line taken recently by Nick Thornsby here.
But I don't think any of this really helps make the case for the Liberal Democrats. If the party is using 'progressive' in the same sense as Labour then that at least avoids one confusion. But that puts the party on the centre-left. From the electorate's perspective it raises the question why vote Liberal Democrat rather than Labour. It equally raises the question as to why Nick Clegg won't acknowledge that the party is centre-left. If, on the other hand, the party seeks the mantle of the true 'progressive' party, but uses a different understanding of 'progressive' to that which is in wider circulation then that just muddies the waters and obscures the message.
What's needed is a much clearer statement of what Liberal Democracy means in its own terms. And what sort of policies flow from a commitment to achieving it.
We have recently seen plenty of press for the assessment that 75% of the Liberal Democrat manifesto has been implemented by the Coalition. Quite a bit of what has been implemented overlaps with the Tories' own manifesto. Some of it represents important but rather modest initiatives. Is the electorate clear what this adds up to? Are they clear what the party stands for? It's not just about ticking a set of policies off a list, it is holding on to – and communicating – the philosophy from which those policies flow.
The Preamble to the Federal Constitution is quite a stirring statement of what we are about. But in the age of the soundbite it is too unwieldy as a basis for political engagement. We need a better way of condensing and communicating that message. I don't think the language of the 'progressive' is the right way to do it. Leave that for Mr Ed to wrestle with.

Q: Fermat Factorization Does anyone know how I can use Fermat Factorization to find the two prime factors of the integer $n = pq = 321179$?
I am not sure how to go about solving this and any help would be much appreciated!

A: Let $m = \lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil = 567$.  Now try if $m^2-n$ is a square or $(m+1)^2-n$ is a square or...  Once you've found a value (near $m$) for which this difference is a square then $n$ can be expressed as a difference of two squares, which could also give an idea of how to find a factor.

A: it's too late, but want to add this, In a easier language method is:
Your number is $321179$
You start adding sequence of numbers in power of two like this:
$321179 + 1^2 , 321179 + 2^2, 321179 + 3^2, 321179 + 4^2$
until we find a perfect sequare number. After a little brute-forcing, we find out that
$321179 + 61^2 = 324900$ which has a square root of $570$
So we take $61$ as difference, then we calculate
$(570 - 61) = 509$
$(570 + 61) = 631$
So you have successfully found factors of your number which are $509$ and $631$.

A: By finding that $321179=570^2-61^2=(570-61)(570+61)=509\cdot631$, which is quite non-trivial by itself.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 8th
Staci Martin is listed in the Progressive Voters Guide below. The Virginia Progressive Voters Guide compiles the information that allows you to make informed decisions about the races on your ballot, based on your values. All research in this guide was conducted in July and August of 2022. Please share this guide with your friends and family.
Staci Martin
The election for Virginia Beach City School Board District 4 takes place on November 8, 2022. Prior to the 2022 election, voters could vote for all eleven Virginia Beach School Board seats, regardless of where they live. This is the first school board election where voters will only vote for candidates in their district. There is one at-large seat that is not up for election this year. Kenneth Richard Lubeck (I) and Staci Martin (I) will compete for the District 4 seat.
About the Candidate
Staci Martin is an Independent candidate who obtained an undergraduate degree at Radford University and a Master of Arts in English at Old Dominion University. Her platform consists of wanting to look at bus routes and compensation for all school personnel, including bus drivers. She also wants to address school infrastructure and expand opportunities for trades and technology education in an effort to keep students from acquiring debt.
Martin's platform starts by addressing school infrastructure. Personally affected by the failing school infrastructure, Staci's daughter experienced severe episodes of asthma and hives during high school. She pledges to tackle this issue with minimal impact to students by ensuring that school reconstruction stays on track.
Martin's campaign is also run on the foundation of student and teacher wellness. Martin advocates that both students and teachers need resources to support their mental and physical wellbeing. Marit's solution is to increase the student to counselor ratio, enabling students to feel like their issues matter. She also prioritizes paying teachers and staff what they deserve, ensuring a high quality of life.
Staci is also an advocate for accurate history telling in our public schools. She understands that America is a diverse nation striving for truth, justice, and liberty for all while also recognizing the importance of teaching students about the injustices and truths of the past in an effort to make a just future. She is also against book banning, believing that while parents do have the right and ability to choose what their children read, they do not have the right to choose what other children read.
Staci is running against Richard Lubeck.
Richard "Ken" Lubeck served in the U.S. Navy as an enlisted corpsman and earned a graduate degree in theology from Regent University. He has worked as an information technology professional and has a history of working with at-risk youth. Lubeck is running his campaign on issues such as "parent rights" which is code for being against accommodations for trans kids and social emotional learning in the classroom.
We recommend Staci Martin as a candidate for this race due to her prioritization of addressing school infrastructure and expansion of educational opportunities for students.

We're farmers first and innovators second. We started in 1965, in the Negev desert in Israel, trying to grow crops in desert soil. So we know what it's like to farm in extreme conditions. That struggle taught us how to combine precision irrigation, agronomic expertise and relentless innovation to help farmers grow more of any crop, in any climate, with less.


Thousands of civilians have fled their homes in the coastal town of Zinjibar, capital of Yemen's Abyan Governorate, some 500km southeast of Sana'a, following three days of intensified army ground attacks and air strikes against militants who stormed the city on 28 May, local media report.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said unconfirmed reports indicated 300-400 families had been displaced and some had already approached the UN Refugee Agency office in Aden for assistance. It warned that the situation could deteriorate further, given the ongoing volatile situation in the south.
The local independent news website Barakish.net reported that Zinjibar, normally with a population of nearly 20,000, had become deserted, with civilians fleeing to the neighbouring Aden, Lahj and Taiz governorates.
Hundreds of displaced civilians were now living in the open outside Zinjibar. They could not take anything with them from their homes, said Ahmad Naji Mulhim, spokesperson for the Zinjibar council.
"These displaced civilians are calling on the government to treat them like it treats Somali refugees, who live in tents with basic necessities provided. They also urged local and international humanitarian organizations to provide relief assistance," Mulhim told IRIN.
As for Taiz, local and international media say at least 57 protesters were killed and 1,000 injured when the police and army stormed Liberty Square and burnt down demonstrators' tents on 29 and 30 May. Another seven protesters in Taiz were killed on 31 May.
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay said her office had unconfirmed reports that more than 50 people had been killed since 29 May in Taiz by the Yemeni army, Republican Guards and other government-affiliated forces who ransacked the protest camp in Horriya Square using water cannon, bulldozers and live ammunition. Hundreds more were reportedly injured.
"Such reprehensible acts of violence and indiscriminate attacks on unarmed civilians by armed security officers must stop immediately," Pillay said in Geneva, adding that there were also reports that security forces had occupied Al-Safa hospital in Taiz, that the field clinic in Horriya Square had been burned, and that there was little or no access to emergency medical care.
"Reports of civilian casualties, including children, are particularly worrying, as is the mass displacement of the population of Zinjibar," she added.

The title of Bernardo Kucinski's K immediately invokes Kafka, and its content mirrors in many ways his most famous novel, The Trial. "Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K." is Kafka's famous opening line, and in K, likewise, lies are more common than truth as Kucinski's eponymous protagonist, K, probes the workings of the Brazilian state under the dictatorship of 1964-85.
K here is an older Jewish writer and scholar of Yiddish, a long-settled immigrant who arrived in Brazil back in the 1930s, fleeing Nazi persecution in his native Poland where he had been active in Zionist socialism. In São Paulo he has built a rather more sedate life, raising a family and above all immersing himself in literature and conversation with fellow writers. Until one day in 1974 he discovers that his adult daughter, who teaches Chemistry at the university, has disappeared, presumably taken by the Brazilian secret services. The book then traces his patient but increasingly hopeless struggle to track her down, or at least to find out what has happened to her. But all he hears are lies: not so much lies about him, as the lies that everyone is telling to him about his daughter's fate and whether anyone can ever help him reconstruct it.
Unlike Kafka's K, moreover, Kucinski's is not so much caught up within the bureaucratic machinery of the state as consistently shut out from it. He notes that "The State is faceless and impassive, impervious and perverse. Its only weak point is corruption. But sometimes even access this way becomes impossible, on orders from above. And then the State becomes doubly malignant–cruel and unapproachable" (8). Well respected in his community, and even fairly well-known outside of it, K tries to pull whatever strings he can, tirelessly seeking out informers and allies in Brazil and beyond. But if the state is corrupt, it is not so for him.
Indeed, the closest K gets to the state bureaucracy, his "one and only contact with the justice system" (133), is when he is invited to a hearing of the Tribunal of Military Justice to witness the trial of a sergeant who had posed as a general in order to extort money from him for the (false) promise of information. The court comes down harshly on the rogue officer, who is stripped of his rank, jailed, and dismissed from the military on the grounds of "damaging the reputation of the Armed Forces by spreading the false information that civilians were detained in military installations for criminal purposes." K then jumps up to ask about his daughter, only for the presiding judge to bang his gavel and declare: "The records show that no civilian is held in military installations. As the convicted prisoners' confession demonstrates, it was all a charade" (136). So the right verdict (the sergeant really was an imposter; he could never have delivered what he claimed) serves only to uphold the much larger injustices of forced disappearance and torture.
The curious thing about the authoritarian state, at least in Kucinski's account, is that it is both everywhere and nowhere. It is everywhere in that it is unavoidable: K is surprised to learn of the extent of its network of informers who pervade everyday life and include a familiar window-dresser and the owner of the local bakery; he wonders whether they had always been there, and it was just that "when the government was more tolerant it used the informers less" (21). But the state is nowhere in that it seems to keep no records, leave no trace: K notes that "even the Nazis, who had reduced their victims to ashes, had registered the dead. [. . .] There hadn't been this agony of uncertainty" (14). It is as though the state were some kind of barely visible mist, which saturated social space but could never be pinned down or pictured.
All this raises a problem for the novel: how to represent something that to steadfastly evades representation. Kucinski's solution to this problem is to give us a montage of points of view: though K is very clearly the key figure, there are also chapters that present the perspectives of his missing daughter (who K soon finds he did not much know, either), her husband, their torturers, the mistress of the chief of the so-called "Department for Political and Social Order" that is responsible for their fate, and so on. In other words, though the author tells us that "everything in this book is invented but almost everything happened" (169), and indeed the case presented here is very closely modelled on the disappearance of his sister, Ana Rosa Kucinski, he uses fictional license to depict what is strictly unknowable. This is perhaps most strikingly evident in the book's account of a faculty meeting called to fire the daughter (following her disappearance) from her university post for "dereliction of duties." As each committee member speaks, we are repeatedly told "We don't know what was going through his mind. We can only guess" (138) or "We can imagine what was running through his head" (139) and so on, at which point the text proceeds to fill the silence, to flesh out the hollow center of inscrutable thoughts and actions around which this entire book revolves.
Unlike in Kafka, then, where the reader is left almost as frustrated and at a loss as the character, Joseph K, here the reader is given the clues at least to reconstruct the history that will forever leave Kucinski's K guessing (and grieving). It is suggested, for instance, that K's daughter ultimately committed suicide by biting on a cyanide capsule rather than giving in to torture and giving up her friends. Yet we must accept that this can only be a (more or less) consoling fiction, a lie of sorts, which inadvertently covers up what is truly shocking about K's story: that it can never really be complete.

UPDATE 3-Brazil central bank sees inflation down, signals rate cut
(Adds central bank director comments)
By Alonso Soto
BRASILIA, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank expects annual inflation to ease below the government's 4.5 percent target in 2017 after years of hovering well above that goal, leaving the door open for cutting some of the world's highest interest rates as early as October.
In its quarterly inflation report released on Tuesday, the bank lowered its 2017 inflation forecast to 4.4 percent from 4.7 percent. For 2016, the bank raised its outlook to 7.3 percent from 6.9 percent.
It said it expected annual inflation to drop to 3.8 percent in 2018.
"The report consolidated the idea that the bank will cut rates in October," said Otavio Luis Leal, chief economist with Banco ABC Brasil in Sao Paulo. "Now the question is: by how much."
Leal said inflation data from the bank's new hybrid forecasting models pointed to a rate cut next month.
"The approval of the spending ceiling proposal will be key for the bank to decide on 25 or 50 basis points in October," he added.
In October, a special commission in the Lower House is expected to vote on a proposal to cap public spending. This may show the level of resistance that President Michel Temer, who has introduced legislation to reduce the country's soaring debt burden and regain investors' confidence of investors in the once-booming economy, will face in Congress.
Yields on Brazil's interest rate futures indicate a probability of 78 percent that the bank will cut rates by 25 basis points at its Oct. 18-19 meeting.
Since July 2015, the central bank has kept its benchmark Selic rate steady at a 10-year high of 14.25 percent to battle inflation that remains near 9 percent, almost double the official target.
Carlos Viana, central bank director of economic policy, told reporters later on Tuesday that the relevant horizon for monetary policy is not static, meaning policymakers will aim to keep inflation at target beyond the year-end goal set by the government.
In the report, the bank said it saw signs that food prices were easing, but the pace of the inflation slowdown and the implementation of key fiscal reforms remain uncertain. Those three factors are crucial for the future of monetary policy, the bank has said.
The central bank aims to keep inflation at 4.5 percent, the center of the official target range. Since 2010, it has missed that target despite a crippling two-year recession that has slashed demand from consumers and businesses.
In a hybrid model that uses the market forecasts for interest rates and keeps the exchange rate constant, the bank sees inflation at 4.8 percent next year.
A second hybrid model that keeps rates on hold and adopts market forecasts for the exchange rate shows inflation hitting the target in 2017.
For Alessandra Ribeiro, partner with Sao Paulo-based consultancy Tendencias, that inflation resistance could keep the bank from raising rates in October.
"I will expect further changes in those projections for the bank to act," Ribeiro said. "I only see marginal changes to the bank's projections, and the cautious tone remains."
The bank held its estimate for an economic contraction of 3.1 percent in 2016, but it expects the economy to grow 1.3 percent in 2017. (Reporting by Alonso Soto; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn and Alan Crosby)


The end year celebrations are getting near, and everybody is in the mood of getting the best dress prepared for this day. The drawback is that is the time that stores tend to raise their cost by large margins. Consequently, the girl may be forced to opt for a design that does not bring the best out of her, just because she may not have the amount needed for the layout.
There are some things which you could do to locate homecoming dresses that are inexpensive when this is the case. Below are some of the ideas that will assist you to get the very best dress.
The majority of the online and offline shops only increase the purchase price of this homecoming dress for your shoppers that are late. Making your orders will not help you get discounted prices for your dress, but it is also going to allow you to get the homecoming dresses that are inexpensive at the ideal moment. You ought to make the orders at three or two months before the homecoming event.
Opting to search for a homecoming dress will raise the prices. However, some online shops will bill for the costs of delivery and dispatch, thereby increasing the entire price. Take time to go through the local boutiques, and you may be amazed to come across dresses at a good price.
It's crucial to compare costs between different sellers once you have chosen the design for a homecoming dress. You may come across the version of the dress being sold at prices that are different. You ought to opt for the dress which has the most reasonable price.
A few of the sellers are kind enough to offer offers for the homecoming celebration dresses. You may want to go through the brochures, coupons, fashion magazines and some ads to get.
Whereas locating homecoming celebration dresses that are inexpensive is vital, it is also sensible to locate a dress that's unique. This is the way a girl can have.
Locating a one of a kind homecoming dress that is inexpensive isn't simple, but it isn't impossible. For example, one may consider asking the sellers to suspend on the dress before the homecoming events that nobody else has to see the layout. It is likely to include details on the frequent dress layouts to achieve that special look and to make alterations.
