after login (LightDM) I must wait +5 min until the desktop is displayed.
There's no waiting time when logging out and the login again, means the issue only occurs when starting or rebooting.
This issue is independant of the loaded linux kernel, means I can reproduce it with 4.16.0-2-amd64 x86_64 and 4.17.0-2-amd64.
I noticed this issue first time after upgrading to latest XFCE released in Debian testing.
Any advice for root cause analysis is appreciated.
Can you post the contents of ~/.xsession-errors? Maybe something in there will tell us what the hold up is.
Not the same issue, but goes in that direction.
Trying to do a fresh installation of DEBIAN testing xfce on a seperate harddisk.
I am stuck in a login screen loop.
Did not want to do a double post, I posted that issue here yesterday.
- I put that harddisk with DEBIAN testing xfce into an old pc and there login was possible.
- "apt install lxde" and I could login lxde, but not xfce!
gpg-agent: WARNUNG: "--write-env-file" ist eine veraltete Option - sie hat keine Wirkung.
PS. Installed "haveged" and that did the trick. No delay here anymore.
This was my problem since F25(I'm running Fedora xfce) and nobody could help me find a solution, by chance I discovered that the problem was not to assign a name to the "host and network name" during installation. If you leave name: "localhost.localdomain" lightdm asks you to identify yourself twice (I don't know why). If this is your case simply change the host name in /etc/hostname and that's it.
Thank you for trying to give a hand.
But here it was the nouveau graphic driver, changing to nvidia-legacy-340xx did it.
I was now able to collect the requested logs when the incident occurred.

I cannot identify anything pointing to the root cause of the ~5-10 mins waittime.
There was a kernel change in 4.16 (to remediate CVE-2018-1108) that affected entropy resulting in delayed logins for some. The workaround is to install and enable haveged and/or install rng-tools to help generate more entropy.
Perhaps this is what you are seeing?
Solved by uninstalling package libpam-gnome-keyring.

Kano Hisbah to arrest parents of Shatu Garko for winning Miss Nigeria pageant
Kano State Hibah commander Haruna Ibn Sina says parents of Miss Nigeria winner Shatu Garko may be arrested and interrogated for allowing their daughter to participate in Miss Nigeria beauty pageant for 2021, describing it as "illegal" and contrary to Islamic beliefs.
Ms Garko, 18, of Kano, recently emerged as the 44th Miss Nigeria, the first hijab adorning Muslims to win the beauty pageant.
Reacting to Miss Garko's victory in the beauty pageant in an interview with BBC Pidgin, Mr Haruna said participating in a pageant is "forbidden" for Muslims from Kano, a northern Nigerian state with strict Sharia practices.
Mr Ibn Sina said they had confirmed that Ms Garko's parents are living in Kano and will soon be brought into custody and interrogated for the role their daughter played in the beauty contest, the BBC Pidgin reported on Wednesday morning.
Though Miss Garko participated in the pageant adorning her hijab, the Hisbah commander further condemned the exercise as a whole, saying it was against Quranic instruction.
Before now, Hisbah, which was adopted in many northern states in early 2000, had banned tailors, supermarkets and boutique owners from using mannequins to display clothes in the state.
In June, the religious police arrested 40 teenagers for selling condoms and Marijuana in Kano and also prohibited the sharing of pre-wedding photos of the daughter of Emir of Kano Zahrah Bayero, who married Yusuf Bihari, saying it is a sin.

Let's rewind to about a month ago, where my obsession with kaffir lime leaves began. I made a green curry from scratch for the very first time and I have been finding interesting ways to use them in both sweet and savoury dishes ever since. From a citrussy prawn and chilli spaghetti to a chicken, chilli and coconut soup to this delicious cake with a kaffir lime infused syrup, this new-to-me ingredient is surprisingly versatile and seems to lift it's accompanying flavours to fantastic new levels.
If you haven't tried them before, it's a little difficult to describe the flavour. They are herbaceous but floral, bright and aromatic, and are used extensively throughout Thai cuisine. I love it so much, I'm planning on raiding Steph's new garden as often as possible.
I saw this recipe in Real Living magazine, where the beautiful photo caught my eye. It was served in individual loaf tins and with minted raspberries, so I put my own spin on it with summery mangoes. It's a great recipe for a simple and versatile cake. The sour cream kept it nice and moist and I liked the hint of lime that shone through. Although there was a pretty major typo in print – 3/4 cup of baking powder seemed excessive – but don't worry, I've fixed it up in my version of the recipe below!
The kaffir lime is a really great match for the coconut and mango, and would be great with many other kinds of fruit as well, so use your favourite! And it isn't shown in my photos, but I served this cake with a large scoop of creme fraîche, which was a lovely counterbalance to the very sweet syrup.
Have you cooked with any new ingredients lately?
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line base and sides of a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
To make cake, beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add flour, coconut and baking powder and stir to combine. Add sour cream and lime rind and stir to combine. Pour into cake tin and smooth surface. Bake in preheated oven for 40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean when tested in centre. Set aside for 5 mins, then turn onto wire rack to cool.
To make lime syrup, combine sugar, lime juice, water and kaffir lime leaves in saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring for 2 mins or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 mins or until syrup thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
Place cake on serving plates and drizzle with syrup. Serve in slices with mango, mint leaves and crème fraîche.

Q: how to use constant field values defined in predefined classes My question is how to use constant  field values defined in predefined classes like I am practicing on the events program, and currently on action event, I have understand
the action listener part but when I go to action event part , I don't know how to use the static field constant, only I am able to use methods of the that classes, it will be more helpful if a simple example is given by you (simple not complex)
Elaboration:
I want to know how to use the ALT_MASK, ACTION_FIRST, ACTION_LAST constant
Also please show me how to create events of my own

A: Let's imagine you have class:
public Class ConstantsHere {
    public static final int INTEGER_CONSTANT = 5;
}

Then, you want to use it in another class, and you write code like this:
//some code
if (myValue < ConstantsHere.INTEGER_CONSTANT) {
    //do something
}

As mentioned in commens, Java Enum may be a good choice for this task:
public enum Action {
    ALT_MASK, ACTION_FIRST, ACTION_LAST;
}

Usage:
//some code
if (myValue == Action.ACTION_LAST) {
    //do something
}

To make things clear, Enum should be used in case when some variable may take limited number of values. For example, human gender can be only male or female (please do not take this as offensive for transsexuals, statement used only for explanation purposes), so it might be a good idea to use Enum for that instead of constants 0 and 1 (or M and F), just because we can put other number (or constant) there and break the logic.

A: Using enums example.
public enum UserStatus {
    PENDING("P"), ACTIVE("A"), INACTIVE("I"), DELETED("D");

    private String statusCode;

    private UserStatus(String s) {
        statusCode = s;
    }

    public String getStatusCode() {
        return statusCode;
    }

}

public void method(UserStatus status) {

        System.out.println(status.getStatusCode());

    }

}

Malema congratulates Ruto, asks Raila to concede defeat
The Independent August 24, 2022 AFRICA 1 Comment
Leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters party, Julius Malema.
Image: EFF/TWITTER
Nairobi, Kenya | THE STAR KENYA | Leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters party Julius Malema has yet again asked Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga to concede defeat.
He has told the ODM leader not to go down in history as one who was desperate for power. Raila has unsuccessfully contested for the presidency five times.
"Mr. Odinga must humble himself and form part of a government that will address the challenges confronting the people of Kenya, and not allow history to remember him as an individual who was desperate for power, at the cost of the progress of his nation," Malema said in a tweet.
It was the second time the outspoken South African politician was calling on Raila to throw in the towel and call it a day in politics.
Raila disputed results of the August 9 the presidential elections citing irregularities and a mismatch in the final tally.
The IEBC on August 15 declare Deputy President William Ruto as President-elect with over 7.1 million votes to Raila's 6.9 million.
MALEMA: This morning, I spoke to President elect Willian Ruto and congratulated him for winning the democratic elections in Kenya. #EFFPresser
— Economic Freedom Fighters (@EFFSouthAfrica) August 23, 2022
On Monday, Raila and his Azimio la Umoja One Kenya brigade submitted a track-load of documents to the Supreme Court as evidence to back his claims in his quest to overturn Ruto's victory.
Ruto has said he will accept court's decision on the petition.
But Malema asked the ODM leader to let go of his unbridled desire to ascend to power.
"We call on Mr. Raila Odinga to accept the elections outcome, and not form part of a tradition of causing instability, and uncertainty on African governance," Malema said in a series of tweets by his party.
He revealed that he called Ruto and congratulated him over his win.
"This morning, I spoke to President elect William Ruto and congratulated him for winning the democratic elections in Kenya."
Other than Raila, eight other petitioners are seeking to overturn Ruto's win over claims that the elections were not free and fair.
Some have also claimed that none of the presidential candidates attained the constitutional threshold of 50 per cent plus one votes to be declared an outright winner of the vote.

Mr raila is perusing personal gains in this petition. The interest of the Kenyans is not his portion.. The luo in kisumu explained about him endorsing his brother and sister to elective position in stead of giving the opportunity to the young blood. It was an indication of nepotism and poor leadership. A leader is supposed be exemplary.

Our motto: the less mess the better. This great meal comes together in one pan with the pasta cooking in the sauce. Couldn't be easier.
1. Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan and quickly brown minced beef and onion over a moderately high heat, breaking up the mince with the back of the spoon as it browns. This may be best done in two batches.
2. Add the garlic, Wattie's Traditional Tomato and Mushroom Pasta Sauce, water or stock or wine and pasta and stir until the mixture comes to the boil. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the mince and pasta are tender.
3. Stir in the Wattie's frozen Mixed Vegetables and simmer gently for only 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are hot. Season with salt and pepper and add a handful of chopped parsley if wished.
This was delicious,and the kids loved it.
Fantastic! Made it for the family tonight, but had the garlic pasta sauce instead of tomato and mushroom, and had fresh chopped carrots and frozen peas instead of mixed frozen veg. Either way, great dinner idea, works out quite cheap, and goes a long way!
What an easy recipe and it tastes great kids love it.
The family really love this recipe including the fussy toddler! Just wondering how many kj's each serve would be aprox. ?
Delicious! Made this last night but tweaked a few things, I left out mixed vegetables and instead used canned kidney beans, canned corn and some capsicum :) Was absolutely delicious and no big mess to clean up afterwards!

Burnout is something we all experience and stress from your finances may play a major part in that. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to combat financial fatigue and finally feel like you're in a positive relationship with your money.
Here are a few tips that will help to reduce your money stress—to ensure that you're equipped with an actionable plan to take control of your finances and finally meet your money goals.
The best way to counteract getting overwhelmed is getting organized. First thing's first: rip off the band-aid, look at how much your household has spent (and on what). Spend time checking your bills and looking at your bank account balance and credit statements to get a clear picture of where your finances are at.
Rewrite your budget to fit your current reality. Budgeting can help you see where you can cut unnecessary expenses and increase flexibility in your family's choices down the line. If you have to tighten your belt for the first month or so of the year to ensure you're paying back your holiday debts, so be it.
If budgeting feels overwhelming, start with an app that can simplify it. Mint, for example, allows you to create budgets that make sense for you. You Need a Budget breaks down your spending as well.
Set up autopay: Whether or not you make payments on time is the most important element in the calculation of your credit score. As long as you pay your bills on or before the deadline, your score will be in good standing. Turbo is a great, free resource to monitor how your credit score is affected by your bill payments.
Know your credit utilization: Something that we don't always take into consideration is our credit utilization. Your credit utilization is the ratio of your credit card balances to credit limits. If you're using your credit cards responsibly and paying bills on time, you will lower your credit utilization percentage, thus increasing your credit score.
Keep old accounts open: Your credit age makes up 15% of your credit score, and the only way to increase the age is to keep old accounts open and avoid opening new ones.
Does your family have big vacation plans, or maybe a new house is on the horizon? Make sure that you're considering both short and long-term goals early on, so they don't creep up on you. Be honest with yourself from the get-go so you can plan and prepare for your upcoming expenses. Once you've set your goals and your focus is on getting back on track, hold yourself accountable by setting regular check-ins to track your progress.
Events, like the holidays, birthdays or vacation are meant to be celebrated, and that means festivities, fun and (maybe) some frivolousness. Don't beat yourself up if your bank account looks different than you expected after they're over. As long as you're actively working toward your financial goals, being consistent and being patient with yourself, your bank statements (and financial fatigue) will even out.

Enactus VIPS started its journey in the year 2019 with a dream to empower, engage and edify people from all walks of life. Here, the team with the constant support of our encouraging faculty became a family striving to do better and make every second of their life count towards a better cause. The journey might have just begun for us but it is not halting anytime soon. With 3 projects and big & little achievements under our belt and many upcoming ones, we believe the only thing holding us back is our imagination.
Our first-ever launch was for the project "Upcycle", with a vision to recreate the waste generated into something useful and therefore, repeating the process for the betterment of society and nature along with the help of the students who took part in the paper collection drive that made the project such a success.
Coming to some other feats of achievements, Enactus VIPS proudly set up a stall at 'Initio'19', Annual Management fest of Vivekananda School of Business Studies. With a Halloween-themed setup, the aim was to spread the message of sustainability with the help of selling up-cycled products. Not limited to this, It was full of Fun and Food in terms of games and brownies sold which led to great interaction and better times.
Also, on the 19th of November'19, Enactus VIPS collaborated with Sulabh International on the event of 'International Toilet Day' to spread the message of 'proper sanitization' to the people who were still oblivious to it. With the help of Sulabh school sanitation club and Vivaran: The dramatics society of VSBS, events awe-inspired the audience. From Quizzes to Kathak performance, it featured it all. Not to forget the felicitation of Hon'ble Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, Founder of 'Sulabh International' was also undertaken by the team and it was an enriching experience
After this, came "Project Nidaagh" which is a gift that keeps on giving. A recurring project, Nidaagh's core value, and foundation are to help those in need during such testing times. It features a cloth donation drive to the less grateful section of the society. It is indeed, a way to spread across warmth and joy every year and lend a helping hand in need
Not just limited to the walls of VIPS, Enactus VIPS has gained its reputation at a variety of other locations. By setting up their stalls and their rep at Colleges like Ramjas College, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College, and Miranda House, University of DU. The opportunity to be able to present the newly-launch project Kalpataru to the world was not the one to miss. The stall majorly sold eco-friendly products made solely from recycled paper including pencils, paper pens, seed notebooks, notepads, table organizers, and paper bags. It also featured games to further garner attention and again, was a worthy interaction with people from different walks of life
Now a little something about Aaveg'20, the annual fest of Enactus VIPS started its preparation as a Campus fest but due to the pandemic, everything came to a standstill. When there was no silver lining on a cloudy day, Our team went looking for it, with their eagerness and dedication didn't lose hope. From scratch again, preparations began again. The only change? It became a digital fest. First-ever digital fest in the history of GGSIPU. From Aaveg'20 to e-Aaveg'20, a digital transition came forward. In terms of enthusiasm, energy, and commitment, it still was unmatched. From schools to colleges, no stone was left unturned as individuals from every corner came forth to take part and make our fest a success. Indeed, a gala that left no frown turned upside-down. Aaveg'20 was a combination of learning, bonding, and new experiences which will always be a reminder of how Enactus VIPS rose even in the worst of situations and came through.
Last but not the least, even if 2020 was the year of hardships and what not, Our team didn't hold back and came out with "Nidaagh 2.0" while taking care of precautions and measures needed to make this drive a smoother and better one than our previous one. We realised that be it Covid-19 or not, the winters are still going to be as harsh as ever, and we need to do our bit to overcome the trouble it brings for the people in need. Therefore, marking the 2nd year of "Project Nidaagh" which still serves it's purpose of making the world a better place.

Q: How do you change font in UISearchBar for iOS5? I'm trying to change the font for all of my UISearchBar objects using the new "appearance" proxy for iOS5 with something like:
 [[UISearchBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
 [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
  [UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
  [UIFont fontWithName:@"Trebuchet MS" size:0.0], UITextAttributeFont,
  nil]];

Every time I run this, I'm getting this error:
"2012-05-28 03:01:52.264 DirectDx_ClientApp[30039:15503] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[_UIAppearance setTitleTextAttributes:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8460cf0'
* First throw call stack:
(0x1ea8022 0x3a4fcd6 0x1ea9cbd 0x1e0eed0 0x1e0ecb2 0x5e695 0x5dd78 0x217aa 0x789386 0x78a274 0x799183 0x799c38 0x78d634 0x203bef5 0x1e7c195 0x1de0ff2 0x1ddf8da 0x1dded84 0x1ddec9b 0x789c65 0x78b626 0x2164d 0x2895 0x1)
terminate called throwing an exception"
The method above works perfectly well with UITabBar and UINavigationBar.
Any insights?
Thanks very much in advance.

A: Try this,It's Working Fine for iOS 5.0 and up (iOS 7 also):
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:20]];
}

For iOS 8
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
        [[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setDefaultTextAttributes:@{
            NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:20],
      }];
}

A: Checkout the apple reference guide for uisearchbar, under customizing appearance you can see what methods are avialable to you for a uisearchbar. SetTitleAttributes is not possible for a uisearchbar and I can not see another method where you change the font of the uisearchbar by means of appearance.
Trying to call a method that is not supported by an object, will always give you an error. In your case setTitleArtributes is supported by other classes but sadly enough not for the uisearchbar.
There is a workaround.

A: Try using this code
UITextField *textField = [self.searchBar valueForKey: @"_searchField"];
[textField setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:17.0]];

Hope this will work for u.

Fantastic Fungi Hosts Fungi Day Tuesday April 21st In Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
Chaz Ebert April 20, 2020
Mycelium can heal heal you, it can feed you, it can clean up a toxic oil spill and it can even shift your consciousness and play a crucial role in saving the planet...
Although our 22nd Ebertfest Film Festival had to be cancelled last week because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are fortunate to be able to join a virtual equivalent of it Tuesday, April 21st (here) in a special celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day with acclaimed director Louie Schwartzberg's documentary "Fantastic Fungi." This event is organized in conjunction with film distributor Area 23a. The film was on the roster of our Ebertfest line-up. Stephen Apkon and Marcina Hale (who won the first Ebert Humanitarian Award for their film "Disturbing The Peace") are executive producers of this astonishing and beautifully lensed film illustrating how mushrooms and mycelium can provide natural remedies for so many of our ills.
In his enthusiastic review, our Assistant Editor Matt Fagerholm hailed the film as "one of the year's most mind-blowing, soul-cleansing and yes, immensely entertaining triumphs...Not only has the world rarely seemed more richly alive than it does here, it has never appeared more equipped at providing solutions to our modern crises, if only we bothered to listen."
This Tuesday, April 21st, a full slate of virtual panels in honor of Earth Day will take place all day on the film's official site where you can also rent the movie for $4.99. The live streamed conversations will enable researchers, educators and solutionaries such as Paul Stamets, Louie Schwartzberg, Suzanne Simard, Jason Silva and many others to discuss our planet's most pressing environmental and global challenges. You can rent the film here, and then register to watch the virtual panels and find the full info on the Earth Day festivities here. This is a global event that brings people together to explore our interconnectedness at a time when we are mandated to stay physically apart.
My heart goes out to all who have been personally touched by the tragedy of an illness or death caused by COVID-19. And I salute the many heroes who continue to provide us service at peril to themselves, such as first responders, healthcare workers, grocery store and pharmacy clerks, farm workers, long distance drivers, delivery personnel, postal service workers and all who help to keep us going during this period of Quarantine. Festival Director Nate Kohn, Festival Coordinator Andy Hall and I have been e-meeting to come up with programs of interest to keep our film festival community together during this time of crisis. We have a few ideas in the hopper, including a Zoom Meet-up, but we are also open to hearing your suggestions. You may write to us at ebertfest@yahoo.com.
Until then, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the movies for Fungi Day.

MS-238: Prisoner of War Letters from World Wars I and II
Kelly A. Murphy, Gettysburg CollegeFollow
Download Full Text (382 KB)
This collection consists of various correspondence between POWs and their families, including 86 letters, 174 postcards, and about eight package slips during both world wars. Most of this correspondence was authored by the prisoners and sent to their families from camps in Europe, although it contains some correspondence from camps in Asia and Africa. The collection also contains correspondence from prisoners in concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, and from interned civilians in France and Germany. Because these letters were the main way to contact family members, most of the POW correspondence contain thoughts of homesickness and loneliness along with updates on an individual's health and the various activities around the camps, including work and leisure. There is also correspondence from families to the prisoners which describe family life but also express sentiments for good health and a quick and safe return. There are also about 143 empty envelopes addressed to various places, including Copenhagen, Denmark and the Red Cross headquarters in Switzerland. Moreover, there are correspondence and envelopes from just before and after World War II, including envelopes commemorating French liberation and postcards to the United Nations from prisoners of the Spanish government begging for intervention in their imprisonment by Francisco Franco. In addition, there are various other items in the collection, including a gardening manual and nine photos from a Taiwanese prison camp, unused postcards, seven postage receipts, stamps from India, a work-receipt from Burma, and three anti-Semitic labels from Belgium, as well as various materials from previous owners of the collection. It should be noted that the items in the collection are written in many different languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Polish, and Russian, although some translations are included by previous owners of the collection.

Women's Congress
GESSEL is a permanent legal advisor to the Women's Congress Association, and Beata Gessel-Kalinowska vel Kalisz is proud to be a member of the Women's Congress's programme council and of its audit committee.
The Polish Women's Congress was established as a civic initiative bringing together women from different professions and milieus – oftentimes representing different world views – for the purpose of recapitulating the contribution made by women to the economic and political transformation of Poland, identifying their most important achievements, and formulating postulates the implementation of which might lead to greater presence of women in the public sphere. The Women's Congress was held on 20-21 June 2009 at the Sala Kongresowa hall of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
Dr Beata Gessel-Kalinowska vel Kalisz, our firm's managing partner organised and moderated the panel discussion on the role of women in development of the Polish legal system entitled " How Women Won Justice. Women in the Legal Professions After 1989 ". This was probably the first undertaking on this scale aiming at comprehensive assessment of the work of women in the legal field, also as regards shaping the legal system and its institutions post-1989. The debate encompassed the position of women in the professions of judge, trial lawyer, attorney, in-house counsel, public prosecution officer, notary public, and law professor, and also women serving on professional self-government bodies and as arbitrators.
The suggestions for future action drawn up in the course of the Congress have provided a basis for a legislative initiative concerning implementation, where possible, of a gender parity formula in elections and institution of the office of an independent Women's Rights and Equality Ombudsman. GESSEL participated in preparations of the draft of the quotas act.
Our firm also supported organisation of the third edition of the Polish Women's Congress held at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw on 17-18 September 2011 and devoted to debating the current situation and future perspectives of women in Polish society.

Piriformis syndrome is a relatively rare condition, but may be misdiagnosed since symptoms of the condition mimic those of sciatica. The piriformis muscle lies deep in the buttock passing over the sciatic nerve as the sciatic nerve descends down the leg. When shortening of the piriformis muscle has occurred due to injury or congenitally, it may impinge on the sciatic nerve and produce symptoms referring down the back of the leg which can be confused with sciatica. The patient may complain of pain when sitting, climbing stairs or squatting.
Treatment of the condition, once identified as the source of the symptoms includes, deep tissue massage and stretching of the external rotators of the hip.

Dagupan City (31 March ) -- The Land Bank of the Philippines has extended some P4.74 billion in loans to its priority sectors in Region I and western Cordillera Administrative Region as of December 31, 2009, according to Filipina B. Monje, assistant vice president and head of Region I and western Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
Land Bank's priority sectors are small farmers and fisherfolk (SFF) cooperatives, small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) and micro enterprises, agri-infrastructure projects of local government units, agri-related projects of government-owned and controlled corporations, livelihood loans, agri-businesses, environment-related projects, specialized housing schools and hospitals.
Of the total exposure, about 19 percent or P907.25 million went to farmers' cooperatives and other financial conduits such as rural banks, irrigators' associations, and farmers' organizations benefiting close to 15,131 newly-assisted farmers and fisherfolk last year.
The top five cooperative borrowers were the Dream Development Cooperative in Dingras, Ilocos Norte; Biba-Diwa MPC in Malasiqui, Pangasinan; Tagudin MPC in Tagudin, Ilocos Sur; SRT Alcala Coop of Pangasinan in Alcala, Pangasinan; and the Universal MPC in La Trinidad, Benguet.
Meanwhile, the bank's total loans to SMEs in the area reached P1.31 billion as of yearend 2009. Loans to Countryside Financial Institutions (CFIs) grew by 51 percent, from P380 million a year ago to P571 million. Loans to LGUs in the region amounted to P2.08 billion.
Land Bank also released P520 million for rice production in 2009 thru cooperatives, irrigators' associations, farmers organizations, and rice millers. This benefited 10,164 farmers covering 17,638 hectares.
Monje said that the bank was able to maintain strong lending operations to its priority sectors in the region over the last five years.
"Our sustained efforts to deliver credit assistance to our development partners particularly the small farmers and fisherfolk cooperatives, micro enterprises and SMEs in Region1 and western CAR is in support to the overall commitment of Land Bank to spur growth and progress in the countryside," she said.
Land Bank's Region 1 covers the province's of Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte and western CAR provinces namely Abra, Benguet, and Mountain Province.
Meanwhile, Monje said that the reported missing P9 million of the city government of San Carlos was still being investigated even as she denied allegations of cover-up.
She also said that the encashment of the check the signatures of which were said to have been forged went thru the process. "Dumaan sa clearing yon at suportado ng accountant's advice," she told a press conference at the Capitol Resort Hotel in Lingayen Tuesday.
San Carlos LBP branch manager Liza Melendez refused to divulge details of the investigation when pressed about it.

Inge Visser has had plenty of time to reflect on her coaching ambitions over the past 12 months, and she is excited to put those theories into practice with the Wallaroos in the next year.
The former Netherlands sevens player, who relocated to Australia in 2013, has spent much of 2020 working from home, writing training programmes and refining her coaching ambitions.
Visser has got used to signing into online webinars as part of her participation in both the Women's Sport Leadership Academy for High Performance Coaches (WSLA HPC) and World Rugby Virtual High Performance Academy.
With top-level women's rugby currently halted in Australia due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Visser's only hands-on coaching has been with the local teams she works with in New South Wales.
"I think the girls here in the local competition have got some high quality coaching and analysis," the former UNE (University of New England) Rugby Lions coach joked.
Huge congrats to Inge Visser who's been appointed as a Coaching Intern for the @WorldRugby #RWC2021 program to assist the @WallaroosRugby. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

However, that should soon change after the Dutchwoman was accepted onto a new World Rugby initiative, the Coaching Internship Programme for Rugby World Cup 2021.
Over the next 12 months, Visser will work as part of Dwayne Nestor's Wallaroos coaching staff, helping the squad to prepare for the tournament in New Zealand.
"To be part of the programme was already a great thing," she said.
"But now, in the last couple of weeks, just giving form to the actual role and getting to know the staff and people, and actually having the first couple of meetings, it's very exciting."
Shadowing Wallaroos coaches
The Coaching Internship Programme has been designed to help talented female coaches take the step into a high-performance environment.
Having worked mostly in development, Visser is grateful for the pathway the initiative provides.
"Just to fill that gap from always setting programmes up and working just with new beginners," she added. "To actually working in that top [level], learning from the best.
"Our head coaches … Dwayne and [Matt] Tink, that will be [up to] me to really be in their shadow to see how they train and what they do and the cues that they're giving those girls.
"That will be, for me, a big learning curve."
Visser represented the Netherlands as a player at Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 in Moscow, and is well aware of the impact working at RWC 2021 as a coach could have on her career.
"It just gives you that chance to actually have that experience as a coach," she explained.
"Otherwise, you just do local competitions, national competitions. But, actually taking it up to that level will be great, a great thing on your résumé to have that experience.
"And that's just an opportunity you [only] get now. Normally it would have been, 'oh well, I'm not experienced enough' or didn't have that level as a coach. So, that will close the gap."
The case for the defence
Visser is determined to make the step from being a development coach to what she describes as a "technical" coach.
Her work over the past 12 months on the WSLA HPC and Virtual HPA has clarified in her mind that she wants to work on the defensive side moving forward.
"I actually had a lot of time to write a lot of programmes and work on my individual process and reflect [on] what I've been doing so far as a coach and where I want to hit through," Visser said.
"It's always been a passion for me, coaching and giving back to the sport and seeing all those girls, you know, developing and getting involved with the game.
"But I think it's shifted now more from being always in that part, in developing and setting up, to now, what could I bring as a technical coach and what are my points where I really need to work on?
"And, I decided that I really want to work on my defensive side. So, I want to be one of the best defensive coaches. And that has for me been a big, big goal."
Through the Coaching Internship Programme, World Rugby is keen to address the barriers facing female coaches in high-performance environments in both the men's and women's games.
Prior to being accepted onto the programme, Visser had already had conversations with Rugby Australia about the possibility of gaining experience in a male environment.
"I spoke about that with Rugby Australia, because I think [when] you're a woman and you've played women's rugby, you sort of get pushed into women's rugby," Visser said.
"I really want to fill up my backpack and I want to get as much experience with other sides and other teams as well as in other competitions.
Making close connections
"So, obviously through COVID, those opportunities this year have been taken a little bit away and then this opportunity came up where I just applied for and it will be great.
"But yeah, I'm really looking forward to work with the men next year in some sort of competition as well."
Visser's participation in the WSLA HPC has also brought her into contact with coaches from several other sports, with representatives of cycling, rowing, tennis, triathlon and wrestling also enrolled on the programme, which is part-funded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Her approach to rugby has subsequently been informed by that network of coaches, while she has held meetings with both Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia as part of her development.
"Networking with coaches from other sports and other countries, I think you can learn a lot out of that," Visser explained.
"In the Netherlands, because it's such a small country, we always had heaps of connections.
"As the Dutch rugby team, we would go over and spend the day with the Dutch hockey girls.
"And I know in Australia it's all a bit bigger and a bit wider. But, I think, to have those networks and those close [connections], it's where you learn, and as a coach see how others are approaching their sport or the style of coaching.
"That's something that I've always been very interested in, and what I just try to keep doing. And if there is an opportunity to have a look at another sport, I am jumping on that."

Paying off student debt: eight ways to squash it quickly - Macleans.ca
Paying off student debt: eight ways to squash it quickly
You don't even need to live with your parents (but it would certainly help)
by Julie Cazzin

It's no secret that tuition rates and other university-related costs have risen steadily in the past several years. In fact, students living at home spent an average of $9,300 per year on their schooling while those that left the nest for school dropped closer to $20,000, according to a poll of 23,384 students done by Maclean's last fall. So how do you put a plan in place to crush debt?
Students have all kinds of financial resources they can tap into—government loans, lines of credit, student credit cards and even the bank of mom and dad. But in almost all cases, the money has to be paid back. "It's not free money and, like taxes, it needs to be paid off quickly so it doesn't snowball," says Debbie Gillis, director of credit counseling at K3C Credit Counselling in Kingston, Ont. She adds that paying off debt before turning 30 means it won't interfere with other major life events like buying a home or daycare costs. Here's a quick guide on paying off debt—and avoiding it in the first place.
Live at home if you can
This isn't for everyone, but for Matt Matheson, it was an easy decision to make. "I got along well with my parents and that decision to stay home saved me thousands of dollars," says Matheson who runs methodtoyourmoney.ca. Since about 40 per cent of university expenses goes to room and board, Matheson estimates this one decisions alone saved him $10,800 annually. Savings over the course of his four-year degree? $43,200

Track your spending
Use a journal or good budgeting app (like Daily Budget) to track how much you spend. Also monitor money from part-time jobs, government loans, gifts from parents, and other income. It can be eye-opening. "If you don't know where your money is going you can't make informed decisions about the trade-offs you'll need to make to keep debt to a minimum," say Trevor Van Nest, a certified financial planner and founder of Niagara Region Money Coaches.
Set aside a small stash of $500 to $1,000 to pay for emergencies. "If you don't have that emergency cash, you'll simply pile on more debt to cover it. You need to avoid that," says Van Nest.
Don't party all the time
"The money you get for student loans is meant for tuition, books and residence costs," says Gillis. That means learning to cut costs on incidental expenses." Matheson agrees, adding that he lived below his means and saved wherever he could while attending university several years ago. "Whether it's having plain water, a coke or coffee instead of a couple of beers when you go out with friends, or simply brown bagging your lunch every day, those small savings add up," says Matheson. Annual savings? $1,500 or more annually.
Give the spring break a do-over
The pressure from friends and social media to go on these breaks is huge. It feels like everyone is doing it. "But what you don't see on Facebook, Instagram or other social media is the hefty bills that come along with those trips," says Matheson. For instance, a $2,000 annual spring break vacation can add up to $8,000 that you'll have to pay back once you graduate, plus interest. Opt for cheaper activities and getaways closer to home. "Play hockey with friends and then go grab a bit to eat, or do a three-day ski getaway near home that will cost you and your friends just $500 or less," says Matheson. "It doesn't mean saying 'No' to everything fun. It just means being mindful of your priorities and saving should be one of them." Savings? $1,500 per year, or $6,000 over four years.

Chose a degree or diploma program that offers good job prospects
College is cheaper than university and the job opportunities are likely just as good. (Think chefs, engineering technicians and policemen.) You'll minimize student debt if you decide early on what studies you'd like to pursue and focus on how you'll earn in your eventual career. Guidance counsellors and even parents can help with this. "I made sure my kids took a course of study that could get them credentials and make them employable when they graduate," says Gillis. "Many students are doing four years of university and then going to college to get practical skills. That's five years or more of schooling that has to be paid for."
Attack your debt as soon as you graduate
Van Nest advises his young clients to use the "debt snowball"—a method of debt repayment where you pay off your debts from smallest to largest. So, if at graduation you had $20,000 in student debt comprised of $2,000 in credit card debt, $5,000 on a line of credit, and $15,000 of government loans, you'd pay them off in that order—smallest amount to largest. "Doing it this way keeps you motivated as you see smaller debts disappear quickly," says Van Nest. And what if you have one large $50,000 government loan? Van Nest suggests you break it down into $5,000 chunks and aim to get a portion paid off every six months or so. "It's like walking a 3K before running a marathon," says Van Nest. "You tackle big debt the same way—by focusing on smaller chunks that will get you closer to your goal of paying off the whole debt. That's how you stay motivated."
Live at home after graduation
"Sure, it sounds lame," says Matheson, who graduated with $15,000 in student debt and paid it off in less than a year. "That first year I worked and paid off my debt like a madman. I was single minded." At the same time, keep networking so you can land a job in your desired field. Get friends, family or a good career coach to mentor you on finding your ideal job. Never lose focus on that final goal so you can get on with the rest of your life—stress-free.

SETTLEMENT BANISHES ILL WILL OVER HOSPITAL CHANGE
KINGSLEY GUY Editorial Page EditorSUN-SENTINEL
A year ago, Holy Cross Hospital was embroiled in a controversy that pitted the Sisters of Mercy against some of the most influential people in Broward County.
The ill will was palpable, and it looked like the only way the disagreement would be resolved was through a protracted legal battle that would cost a fortune and damage the reputation of one of the county's most important health care institutions.
Well, this is a story with a happy ending. The controversy was resolved out of court, most of the ill will has dissipated, and the future of Holy Cross looks very bright, indeed. The amicable settlement of what once seemed to be an intractable controversy speaks well to the integrity of all those involved.
Ground was broken for Holy Cross in 1953, after public-spirited citizens approached church officials and promised to raise money for a Catholic hospital to serve rapidly-growing Broward.
Millions of dollars in private donations were channeled into the hospital, located off Federal Highway and Commercial Boulevard. The institution's growth was aided by tax-free bonds backed by the county.
Everything went along smoothly for years, and nobody needed to ask the question of whether the hospital was a community-owned asset operated by the Sisters of Mercy, or an asset owned by the sisters that served the community, but also the larger interests of the holy order.
In the mid 1980s, however, that question started to gain significance. The Sisters of Mercy were not attracting enough new members to assure that they could continue operating Holy Cross. Also, financial pressures in the changing health care industry made it imperative that Holy Cross affiliate with a hospital chain.
In 1986, the Board of Trustees approved Holy Cross joining the Eastern Mercy Health Care System, a hospital association operating under the auspices of the Sisters of Mercy. This would assure professional management well into the future, and also provide economies of scale that could reduce operating expenses at Holy Cross.
But the board, some of whose members had been around from the start and had contributed hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to the hospital, was uneasy about the affiliation. Most of the EMHC hospitals were in the Northeast, and not all of them were as financially sound as Holy Cross. The board worried, with justification, that Holy Cross assets would be raided to shore up the finances of some far-away institution, so it reserved the right to withdraw from the system.
"We recognized there were tremendous advantages to being part of a hospital group," says businessman Fred R. Millsaps, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. "This just wasn't the right group."
Tensions mounted, as did the intrigue. Without the board's knowledge, the nuns changed the EMHC bylaws so a hospital could not leave the affiliation unless all hospitals agreed. Some of the trustees responded by getting the Legislature to pass a measure they hoped would prevent their ouster from the board.
The sisters considered the law to be unconstitutional, and in July 1996 fired the old board and appointed a new one. This precipitated legal action on the part of 18 of the 23 board members who so unceremoniously had been cashiered. They sued for reinstatement, and also to keep Holy Cross money from being used to finance other hospitals in the chain.
What a mess. The sisters were locked in an internecine struggle with board members who had spent careers at the highest level of the business world, and who were accustomed to getting their way. The battle was joined, and the case headed into the civil justice system, where even winners end up losers when the legal bills are finally tallied.
Slowly, though, things began to change. Attorney General Bob Butterworth looked into the situation, and provided a mediating influence. The Sun-Sentinel editorial page came forward with what we think was sage advice. Some of the cooler heads on the old and new boards began talking to each other, and the sisters began moderating their views.
In a letter to Butterworth, the sisters pledged not to transfer Holy Cross assets out of Broward, to maintain a local board of directors, and to invite back several members of the fired board. Millsaps, Walter L. Banks, Robert A. Steele and David Rush all agreed to return, and they again are helping to direct hospital policy.
Holy Cross now is a member of an association of 50 hospitals and long-term care centers called Catholic Health East. The Eastern Mercy system is a part of it, but Catholic Health East also has a heavy presence in the Southern United States, including a half dozen institutions in Florida.
Holy Cross money could be used to help affiliated institutions, but only through loans with so many strings attached that Holy Cross would not lose money.
Millsaps considers this affiliation, with its strong Florida presence, including facilities in Dade and Palm Beach counties, to be a perfect fit. "We're already seeing the financial benefits," he says. Those benefits include lower borrowing costs, the ability to cross-train key people, and to save money through bulk purchases.
For the four who rejoined the board, Millsaps says, "The sisters went out of the way to make us feel like we are a part of the team."
The archbishop did his part, too, by holding a mass of reconciliation.
The new administrator, John C. Johnson, has reached out to the former board members. This week, he hosted a luncheon for them, and updated them on the hospital's progress.
The new board also has made members of the old board honorary trustees, and efforts are under way to provide a suitable way of recognizing them for their contributions to the success of the hospital. A couple of the former members are still angry, Millsaps says, but most are satisfied with the way things have worked out.
Since Holy Cross is church-affiliated, a lot of praying no doubt went on as those involved sought a solution to the dilemma in which they found themselves.
Divine guidance may well have played a role in bridging the troubled waters, and showing once again that "Blessed are the peacemakers."


Two Poems And a Flash By Belinda Hubert: "Striving", "Grief", "Morning"
My body wants me to move.
You'll rust out before you wear out.
Aware but not self conscious.
I simply refuse to rust.
One of these days I'll get it.
just as it always ever was.
to get where I am.
I can be such a goob.
of our field of vision.
when the extremes wind together.
He came up this morning with binoculars in his hand. He is on a mission the moment he wakes up. He climbs up in my bed and rests a minute before he asks for help with whatever it is. "Abuela, will you help me find my Auntie Gator kitty?" The plan will come together eventually. But for this minute, I'm just soaking up his warm little self, snuggled on my arm.
I put my forehead on his to help him go backwards in his mind to the last time he played with the Auntie Gator kitty. What was he playing? Where was he? We remember the last place I saw it was his drawer in the kitchen.
We are having a cozy wake up. He tells me about his dream of tadpoles shooting out of his backpack. Whoa! Then he clutches his side and says his goblin is bent. He runs to the bathroom and takes care of that problem. Goblin is gallbladder. His mom just had hers removed. His is just fine after the trip to the bathroom.
Annnnd he's off in search of the Auntie Gator kitty. And a few beats later, he's back.
He found connected together gum. "I taked the package out and I ripped it so you could have some gum and I could have some gum." We chew. Now he's meandering out the door again. Binoculars in hand, but still no Auntie Gator kitty. He'll share the grand scheme if I stay right here and wait. The whole plan will unfold. He won't forget, no matter how many sweet distractions he encounters in between. And he won't be able to drop it until it comes together. All the ingredients will be assembled by the time he eats breakfast. It must be or he is frantic and can't eat. Usually, whatever it is travels to preschool with him in his backpack.
Yesterday it was fancy rocks and little fuzzy yellow chicks. Six of them. Today, it's Auntie Gator's Kitty. He's back. It was in the drawer! Yay! And he still has his binoculars.

Superstitions keep patients away from healthcare programmes in Sahebganj, Koderma, Gumla, Godda, Garwha and Latehar
There is a cure for almost every medical condition. But how do health officials tackle superstitions?
With only 30 per cent of womenfolk living in rural areas turning up for immunisation programmes, state health officials have conceded that superstitions are keeping them away. And that is making it difficult for them to administer treatment or spread awareness among them.
For instance, many expecting mothers are afraid of taking the tetanus toxoid vaccine as they believe that it will lead to abortion or infertility, which can lead to being ostracised from society.
Such beliefs, health workers have found, were prevalent among residents of Sahebganj, Koderma, Gumla, Godda, Garwha and Latehar districts. However, an NGO, USAID, under its programme Vistaar, is working towards improving reproductive and child health in these regions through survival programmes, in association with state departments.
R Choudhary, the team leader associated with the project, agreed that superstitious beliefs were adversely affecting healthcare programmes. "We have been working in the rural healthcare sector for the past six months and so far the results haven't been very encouraging," she rued.
Many tribal women refused to take iron folic acid tablets. "Around 80 per cent of women suffer from anaemia but they refuse to take pills as they feel it would make them weaker," she said.
Immunisation of infants and children was another battle for health officials. "There are limited health services available. Women and children have to suffer due to low literacy rate and lack of decision-making powers. Besides, the infant mortality rate (IMR) is quite high. For example, in Sahebganj it is as high as 147 per 1,000 births," she said.
High death rate is mainly due to low birth weight, lack of basic knowledge among mothers, poverty, and inaccessibility to healthcare facilities and infectious diseases such as malaria and kala-azar.
Besides, nurses and midwives have to fight superstitions too. "We want to improve access to quality maternal and new-born care, improve nutrition and treat infectious diseases," the team leader said.
If only patients could hold on to this belief.

COVID-19 vaccine: what you need to know
Take a look at what you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccination programme including how you will know when it's your turn, where to go, and why it's important.
COVID-19 vaccine roll-out
Hundreds of local vaccination services run by family doctors and their teams have now opened across England, with more practices in more parts of the country joining in on a phased basis in the coming months.
As a result of rapidly rising cases of coronavirus the government has announced a national lockdown across England. This means you should not leave home except when necessary.
