Let us Gear up the Battle Againgst TB among Children!
The state of health centers in many developing countries is appalling. This is upsetting because it renders the recent global campaign to boost staffing in health facilities a non-starter. Some of the revelations at certain health centers are unbelievable. For example in Kassanda health center in Mubende district (located in Central Uganda), a woman who delivers is immediately transferred to another ward and "given space on the floor"! Such action is likely to cause dire consequences to both the mother and new-born.
Men women and children are admitted in the same ward. A health facility that resembles a concentration camp is a recipe for disaster. The shortage or total absence of drugs and sundries, broken-down ambulances, lack of water and power in the health facilities paint a grim picture of the situation in the health sector in Uganda, or a same situation in many developing countries.
Let me share a real story I experienced in a field early this year. During a monitoring visit for one of our programmes with Mr.Kasozi Dickson of Humanity Direct (a UK-based charity that bails out the most vulnerable children by offering them free life changing surgical operations, working with several hospitals in countries including Uganda, Tanzania and Somaliland where many families can't afford even basic medicine - so being able to afford an operation is out of the question where many delay seeking medical care until the condition worsens or get into debt they can never repay), in partnership with Global Healthcare and Education Initiative (GHEI-Uganda Chapter) giving out clothes and other items to vulnerable children, as well as medical equipments to the many rural health centres.
With such work and more so doing some investigations as a journalist, I came across a referral slip made by a pharmacy staff member referring a 32 year old woman to Directly Observed Therapy Short course (DOTS) health center. Looking at the symptoms circled on the slip, one could tell that this was certainly a pulmonary TB case. Weight loss, fatigue, chest pain, fever and cough with blood. We traced the referral to one of the district health centers where we found out that the women had indeed gone for further evaluation, she was checked, diagnosed, given medication and sent home. We were told by the health center staff that since the first visit, she had returned twice, each time sicker than before and would be sent home again, no TB! We decided to visit her at home where she lived with her husband, her in-laws, and two small children and one baby. We asked the district TB officer to join us so he could be able to follow-up later on.
When we arrived in her small house we were taken up in her room, she was sitting on a straw mat on the floor, baby on the breast, glassy eyes, and face flushed with fever. She repeated the same story that the health staff told us. She told us how disappointed, sad and scared she felt, she said she was getting worse by the minute and no one could help her. She said she wanted to go back to the health center but they didn't have any more money and no transportation. Each time she coughed, she hit on her chest to show us where it hurts. I will never forget the pain on her face, the sound of the shortness of her breath when she tried to tell us her story. I will never forget the fear I felt for the baby on her breast and her other two children and thinking that this woman, unless treated immediately, will soon die and leave these children orphans with nothing to make a go of life.
The end of the story is that the woman did have pulmonary TB and the last we heard was that the district officer was trying to get the children tested with the help of GHEI-Uganda, a local NGO working in the area to bail out vulnerable children from poor families by offering them free direct healthcare and medical services. So what wentwrong? Why did this woman seek care three times and still was sent home with a bag of antibiotics and vitamins? This is a very common story and it is happening every day, many times a day around the world, especially in higher TB burdened developing countries.
I shared the story because I truly believe we might not be able to reach our goal to zero the numbers of children dying of TB in our lifetime, let alone by the year 2030, if we do not take some drastic steps to address the real problems that are preventing us from doing a good job. We can have guidance and operational plans for TB in children; we can have the treatment algorithms. However, I strongly feel these will not help much, especially in limited resource setting where stories such as this are real unless we start by holding the governments accountable for the health and wellbeing of the populations under their jurisdictions.
Health is a right not a luxury, and so we can wholeheartedly lobby in our capacities, or advocate for the increase of the salaries of the health staff to motivate them to perform appropriately. Health staff in developing countries often do not get their salary for three to six months and may be up to 18 months like the case in Zimbabwe.
Strengthening the DOTS Programme. If we had a quality DOTS Programme, the health staff would have been able to accurately diagnose and successfully treat the mom in the story. They would have been able to prevent TB and the needless suffering of her children.
TB is a poverty disease, half of the children in developing countries go without meals and they are malnourished which makes them more vulnerable to TB. Addressing the nutritional needs of children is also of paramount importance. TB in a child that is already living with HIV/AIDS is a double heartbreak and so much more difficult to diagnose and treat. Unless we can diagnose and successfully teat the mother or the infected care giver, we will fail to diagnose and treat the child. The majority of the children get TB disease from a parent or a close relative.The longer the child is exposed to an infected caregiver the greater the risk of transition.
TB is very political and things are moving very slowly - we cannot afford to move slowly any more, we should not allow it. We need to step up very fast. What we should all see at the end of 2020 is not just the numbers, the statistics showing fewer deaths from TB among children, we should see children with happy and smiley faces, children free of TB . Where there is a will there is a way and I hope that collective voices will find that way.

C.C.Ohio (Nov. term 1849) ¤ Fed.Cas.No.1,076.
Bartlett wrote an unpublished manuscript of 207 pages on his own bookkeeping system, and used the manuscript for twelve years of teaching, "with the view of rendering it more perfect, and with the intention of publishing it." Crittenden copied 92 pages "with only colorable alterations." Crittenden entered school ignorant of book-keeping, took the course, then "took charge of the writing Department for a short time." In Bartlett's class, students "were required to copy certain parts of it [Bartlett's manuscript], and were at liberty to copy the whole." "The manuscript… was used… for the purpose of imparting instruction to the pupils, and it does not appear, from the evidence that copies were required or permitted to be taken of it for any other purpose. There is nothing in the testimony from which an implication can arise, that Bartlett consented to the publication of his manuscript by the defendant, or that he ever abandoned it." Injunction granted.
David O. Selznick's production company acquired "statutory copyright" to A Star is Born when this first film by that title was copyrighted June 7, 1937. In 1953, Warner Bros. acquired from Selznick all rights in the film, story, screenplay, and score, and in 1954 Warner Bros. released the second film by that title. The copyright in the 1937 version "was not renewed and expired in 1965." Had there been an underlying copyright to the 1937 film, a statutory copyright in the underlying works (assuming such had not been allowed to expire) would continue to protect those portions copyrighted. The Court noted: "Prior to the production of the  film, Selznick had caused to be written by its employees for hire … a story, screenplay and musical score … but did not obtain a statutory copyright in them." Although the story, screenplay and score had been protected by common-law copyright while not published, "A common-law copyright is lost upon the copyright proprietor's publication of the matter so protected." The decision notes that there had been no separate publication of the story, screenplay or score of any version of "A Star is Born," which at the time of the decision comprised 1937, 1954 and 1976 versions.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Judge assumed that any next version would be the "fourth" version. (The assumption appears herein: "Plaintiff concedes, for present purposes at least, that… no one not authorized by defendant can produce a fourth film version of A Star is Born based on these materials.") Actually, any next version would be the fourth version by that title. Selznick had knowingly remade the 1932 film What Price Hollywood? as his 1937 Star is Born, thus the 1937, 1954 and 1976 versions were the second, third and fourth versions, and any subsequent version would be fifth.
C. Brian Burke, M.D. vs National Broadcasting Company, Inc.
Dr. Burke filmed zebra and lioness in East Africa, but did not copyright his film. Because of the unusual nature facts documented in the film, the film made the rounds of experts. Dr. Burke, as the holder of a common-law copyright, gave the film to a professor at a German university, without placing any restrictions on persons who could view the film nor upon the purpose for which it could be shown. Survival Anglica Limited, "a British company specializing in nature films," bought it from the professor to use in a one-hour TV special titled "The Parenthood Game." The special was shown on NBC January 27, 1977, 8-9pm, prompting Dr. Burke to bring suit. The lower court decided that Burke, knowing that the film would be copied and used on German television, had allowed "general publication" to occur, which divested him of common-law protection.
The appeals court disagreed. The photographer had merely sent his film to one person in response to a request, with the understanding that the copy would be used personally in lectures and on an educational television program in Germany. Even without explicit knowledge about the recipient's subsequent distribution, what occurred wasn't "general publication" of the work, thus there remained a common-law copyright and he was entitled to recover from others who obtained a copy of the film not authorized by him.
ASIDE: You might be curious about "the unusual nature facts" so I will report what it was: a zebra mare whose foal was killed by a lioness returned (after the zebra herd had scattered) and attacked the lioness. Previous to this film being circulated among scholars, experts had believed that such actions never occurred.
"In 1993, respondent GoodTimes began distributing video cassettes of McLintock!. Three years later, in 1996, petitioner attempted to register a claim to unlimited copyright in the screenplay for McLintock!, but the Copyright Office refused to register the claim. All relevant copyrightable interests in the screenplay, the Copyright Office determined, had fallen into the public domain when the copyright in the motion picture of McLintock! expired.
"Petitioner then brought this action against GoodTimes, alleging that GoodTimes' distribution of video cassettes of the movie McLintock! infringed petitioner's copyright in the screenplay… . Petitioner contended that, under Section 7 of the 1909 Act, (1) the public distribution of the movie McLintock! did not extinguish its common law right of first publication in the screenplay; (2) the Copyright Act of 1976 subsequently transformed the common law right into a statutory copyright; and (3) the resulting statutory copyright in the screenplay permits petitioner to control the movie McLintock!, even though the motion picture itself has fallen into the public domain. The Copyright Office intervened as defendant to defend its refusal to register petitioner's copyright claim.
"The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants, holding that petitioner's original common law right to first publication did not permit it to control the copying and use of a motion picture that had fallen into the public domain… . The court held that the screenplay, as a component of the motion picture, had been published by the general publication of the motion picture, and that the screenplay had been protected by the motion picture's copyright. Accordingly, when the copyright on the motion picture expired and the movie fell into the public domain, the district court held, all elements of the screenplay that had been incorporated into the motion picture fell into the public domain as well.
"If the screenplay remained unpublished during the period 1963 to 1978 as Batjac contends, then it would have gained statutory protection in 1978 under the Copyright Act of 1976, and would still be protected today. If, however, publication of the movie also published the incorporated portions of the screenplay, then those portions of the screenplay entered the public domain in 1991 along with the motion picture." In that screenwriter Grant died 1966, the 1976 Act (if interpreted in this way) would protect the screenplay until 2016.
The certiorari to the Supreme Court would amplify these ideas when writing that Bajac's argument amounts to the view that "the publication of the movie McLintock! had no effect on its 'common law' copyright in the unpublished screenplay for McLintock!, because the screenplay itself was not published. Furthermore, petitioner [Batjac] claims that (even though its statutory copyright in the movie McLintock! has expired) its rights in the screenplay for McLintock! give it the right to control the movie McLintock!, since the movie incorporates protected elements from the screenplay. The district court and court of appeals properly rejected that argument… .
Concorde-New Horizons co-owns what it contends amounts to an unpublished 1959 screenplay, although it was made into a 1960 motion picture, The Little Shop of Horrors. Shoptalk, Ltd. and composer Alan Menken own the 1983 musical of the same name, adapted from the movie. Originally, the owners of the musical paid royalties to Concorde-New Horizons. Concorde-New Horizon filed suit for payment of royalties for the underlying work of the musical, no royalties having been paid since 1991. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, ordered Shoptalk to pay Concorde-New Horizons $75,592.65 and ordered Menken to pay Concorde $56,843.84. That court had ruled that the screenplay enjoyed copyright protection upon being registered in 1982.
The 1983 contract between the musical's producers and New World (successors to any rights in the movie) indicated that should New World "fail or neglect to execute or record any document required to renew or extend such copyright," the musical's producers could take remedies. "The motion picture itself was registered for copyright protection in 1985, and its registration stated the film's date of first publication as January 5, 1960. The copyright in the motion picture was assigned to Millennium. Concorde is a successor-in-interest to Millennium." In 1988, that copyright was not renewed. "Sometime prior to 1991, Shoptalk and Menken learned of the failure to renew, and they thereafter ceased making royalty payments to Concorde. (They continued, however, to pay royalties to [Charles Byron] Griffith [the screenwriter].)… Concorde contended that its nonrenewal of the motion picture copyright gave [Shoptalk and Menken] the right to renew the copyright but gave them no other rights." The court found that the crucial fact was the absence of a subsisting copyright in the underlying work. The judgment was in favor of the producers of the musical.
EDITOR'S NOTES: Every print I've ever seen of the 1960 film Little Shop of Horrors has lacked a copyright notice. My understanding is that the film never had one. This is supposedly why there were many unauthorized reproductions sold on Super 8, 16mm and homevideo beginning in the mid-1970s, during what would have been the first term of copyright. Without a copyright notice, the film was in the public domain before 1988. This difference as to time would not change the verdict in the case, because the dispute was over royalties due after 1988 and the verdict was decided on the basis of whether the film was in the public domain beyond that year.
The "Compendium of Copyright Office Practices under the 1909 Act" (1977 edition), at § 3.1.1 IV.a., states: "Publication of a portion of a work does not necessarily mean that the work as a whole has been published".
Folsom vs March (launch this) concerned unauthorized quotation from letters by George Washington which the author of another work had obtained exclusive rights to.
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. vs Jerry Vogel Music Co. (launch this) judged the copyright status of a song that had been copyrighted in 1911, 1912 and 1914 in different versions by different collaborators.

Globe says Rock Tech to supply lithium to Mercedes-Benz
2022-08-24 07:50 ET - In the News
The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Stuttgart-based carmaker Mercedes-Benz AG signed a declaration of intent on Tuesday to purchase raw materials from German-Canadian company Rock Tech Lithium. The Globe's Steven Chase and Claudia Scholz write that Merc's chief technology officer Markus Schaefer, responsible for development and purchasing, was part of the delegation led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Economics Minister Robert Habeck. Mr. Schaefer said Mercedes is in the process of drastically increasing the production of electric vehicles. To this end, Mercedes wants to build relationships with the Canadian mining sector. Rock Tech says it plans to supply Mercedes with 10,000 metric tonnes of lithium hydroxide annually starting in 2026. The two companies have signed an agreement to this effect. However, Rock Tech's lithium mine in Canada is still in the approval process. The raw material from which the battery-grade lithium hydroxide will be extracted will initially come from Australia, among other countries, until the Canadian mine comes on stream, and will be refined in Germany. Mr. Schaefer said Mercedes wants to tap "potential in the mining and refinery segment in Canada."

Dear Supperclub, Thank you for making me feel like a criminal last night and a worthless excuse for a human being. I know it must of been difficult to �take a look at me all dressed up and excited to see my friends inside and say " she is someone we must target and make an example of how pretty girls should always be sent to the back of the line". I'm guessing this made your night to see me nearly in tears when all I wanted tot do was go in and see my friends (which �I was on the VIP list) I thought that meant something, I guess not to you supperclub.
Even though this is a one-level club, I've got to say I had fun here. The go-go dancers dancing on the bartop and pouring drinks into people's mouths definitely increased the fun-level! Dance floor is small and this place can get packed easily because of that. Music was a bit disappointing. �Need music that pumps up the adrenaline, but not so much of that. Two bars even though this place is small. �NICE!!!!!!!!!!! I'd go back again.

How the Giants will attack Max Scherzer and the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS
By Grant Brisbee Oct 11, 2021 43
Max Scherzer wasn't with the Dodgers when the season started, and now he is. This seems rude and unsporting, and there should be a congressional inquiry into the matter in the offseason. Until then, the Giants will probably have to do something against him if they want to win Game 3 of the NLDS.
Scherzer will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and he still had the best regular-season ERA of his career this season. Including the NL wild-card game against the Cardinals, the Dodgers have won all 12 of the games he's started this season, which is more than a little ominous. But while it would be more fun to watch the Giants face a 58-year-old Jamie Moyer on two days' rest, there's something satisfying about them having to get through one of the best pitchers in baseball history. It fits the vibe of the 2021 season and the NLDS in general.
So, what do you need to know about Scherzer? You have questions, and I have answers.
Have the Giants faced Scherzer before?
You probably know the answer to this, but we'll start with the regular season, and the answer is yes. Don't forget that he started his career with the Diamondbacks (!) before he was traded to the Tigers for Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy (!!).

Q: "ls -l" doesn't show symlinks source paths Before I reinstalled MacOS, ls -l showed symlinks with their source path. Now ls -l shows symlinks as regular files - without the source path.
How can I make it show the source path?
I'm on a clean MacOS installation with ZSH and a basic .zshrc file.
Here's an image where etc is showed with it's source:

A: It's possible ls is reporting the file system correctly but instead your folders are hardlinked instead.
However without seeing the output from ls that you are now seeing (rather than what you are expecting to see), any answer here would be largely speculative.

@JdeBP: Also, you have asked about the behaviour of ls -l but have shown the behaviour of ll. Show the behaviour of the command that you are asking about

ll is usually just an alias for ls -l (for example, defined in the users ~/.bashrc)

Preschool is the prefect time to start building fine motor skills and hand strength.
Allowing children to use scissors in a variety of ways will give them the opportunity to develop those much-needed fine motor skills as they begin the process of learning how to write.
But it is much more than just fine motor skills, when children use scissors they are also improving hand eye coordination and bilateral coordination.
Give children plenty of opportunity to use scissors through out the day.
One way is to give children access to a cutting station. Set up a simple cutting station that children can use through out the day.
Have different items for the children to use scissors with.
Challenge children with different styles of cutting tasks.

$350,000.00 USD for a family of five, for example, main applicant, spouse and three children under 18 years.
for up to six persons
The contribution include government fees, but do not include due Diligence fees which are:
$7,500.00 for main applicant
$4,000.00 each for dependents over 16 years of age
Under the SIDF option there are several categories of dependents. Dependents here included children between ages 18-25 years, if the dependent is in a learning institution and is financially dependent on the main applicant.
If there is a child who does not fall into this category, then that application would attract an additional fee of $50,000.00.
Further, parents and grandparents (over the age of 65 years) of the main applicant are considered dependents if they financially dependent on the main applicant.
Upon completion, of the due diligence process, and an 'approval in principle' granted to the applicant and dependents, the funds are transferred to an Escrow account and thereafter, the Prime Minister signs the 'Certificate of Registration' which is issued to the applicant. With this Certificate, the applicant may apply for a passport of the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis.
The process may take from approximately 90 days.
Advantages of Sugar Industry Diversification Fund (SIDF)
One-time payment. No further commitment obligations to pay any further cost to the government or any agent going forward after all of the government and processing agent fees have been paid.
Could be more economical than the real estate option. This may depend on several factors.
Firstly, based on the number of dependents that the principal applicant has.
Many CBI developments now offer rental incentives for their real estate option that makes the real estate option very comparable and competitive with the SIDF option.
Disadvantages of Sugar Industry Diversification Fund (SIDF)
Any funds paid to the Government once the process starts is non-refundable.
Due to the fact that this option is a charitable contribution to a government fund, there is no long term retained value, or any return on investment. Money paid by an applicant into this fund is essential a charitable gift to the government fund.
Limited ties to their new country. New citizens via the SIDF route, other than a passport, usually has very limited identifiable ties to St. Kitts and Nevis. Due to their lack of ownership of physical property it becomes more difficult for citizens via the SIDF to provide residence ties such as utility bills.
Further with limited ties to the country, such citizens are usually not properly positioned to take advantages of all the rights of citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis and rights granted to them in the other Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) states namely Antigua and Barbuda; Dominica; Grenada; St Lucia; St Vincent; and St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Nasophone: An Unexpected, Musical Use for the Nose?
I suspect that the following old newspaper excerpt is a joke, and a fun one at that, but one can never be too certain! One thing I do know is that the opening remarks about Mozart seem to be based on an anecdote that I've heard before. Scroll down below the picture to read more about this.
One day, Mozart taunted Haydn that the latter would never be able to play a piece which Mozart had just written. Haydn sat at the harpsichord, began to play from the manuscript, then stopped abruptly. There was a note in the center of the keyboard while the right hand was playing in high treble and the left hand in low bass.
"Nobody can play this with only two hands," Haydn exclaimed.
"I can," Mozart said quietly. When he reached the debated portion of his composition, he bent over and struck the central note with his nose.

Walking with Dinosaurs robot stolen in Mexico
December 8, 2009 December 8, 2009 Leave a comment
A remote-controlled dinosaur robot worth about 100,000 Australian dollars has been stolen from a Walking With Dinosaurs show in Mexico. Staff noticed the 1.5 meter tall robot was missing after the show closed on its opening day in Guadalajara on Friday.
The Australian show based on the BBC series has toured worldwide and been seen by more than four million people.
"Only in Mexico! How it happened we don't know," said the show's spokesman, Karla Arroyo. It is the first time an exhibit has been stolen from the show, she added.
She said the stolen robot was the least expensive from the show – some measure up to 13 meters and cost up to 1 million Australian dollars.
Well, I can think of a dozen countries where this might happen – including the United States. But, it is a reasonably weird item to steal.
I know a few geeks who would try to take control of a robot and make it walk out of the building. Come to think of it – I wonder if anyone might try to fence it to the creationist museum in Cincinnati?
Men charged for convening Sharia court in Spain
Nine Muslims were arrested in Spain – seven of whom are being held in prison – for allegedly trying to kill a woman they had "condemned" for adultery under Islamic Sharia law, police said.
The arrested men formed a "court" that subjected the woman to a "trial" for alleged adultery according to Islamic law in a country house in the province of Tarragona, but the victim was able to flee when her captors were distracted.
The incident occurred in March, and the arrests of the nine suspects came in November after several months of investigation and raids conducted by police on their homes, police said.
The seven men who have been placed in prison have been accused of illegal detention, criminal conspiracy and attempted murder.
I sort of remember when immigrants to just about any country in the West felt it useful – even necessary – to get along with the customs and laws of their adopted country. When did that disappear?
Autopsies determine H1N1 Flu replicates 1918 flu damage
In fatal cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza, the virus can damage cells throughout the respiratory airway, much like the viruses that caused the 1918 and 1957 influenza pandemics, report researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
The scientists reviewed autopsy reports, hospital records and other clinical data from 34 people who died of 2009 H1N1 influenza infection between May 15 and July 9, 2009. All but two of the deaths occurred in New York City.
A microscopic examination of tissues throughout the airways revealed that the virus caused damage primarily to the upper airway—the trachea and bronchial tubes—but tissue damage in the lower airway, including deep in the lungs, was present as well. Evidence of secondary bacterial infection was seen in more than half of the victims…
"This study provides clinicians with a clear and detailed picture of the disease caused by 2009 H1N1 influenza virus that will help inform patient management," says NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "In fatal cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza, it appears the novel pandemic influenza virus produces pulmonary damage that looks very much like that seen in earlier influenza pandemics."
The new report also underscores the impact 2009 H1N1 influenza is having on younger people. While most deaths from seasonal influenza occur in adults over 65 years old, deaths from 2009 H1N1 influenza occur predominately among younger people. The majority of deaths (62 percent) in the 34 cases studied were among those 25 to 49 years old; two infants were also among the fatal cases…
"This pattern of pathology in the airway tissues is similar to that reported in autopsy findings of victims of both the 1918 and 1957 influenza pandemics," notes Dr. Taubenberger.

This will be the warmest decade on record
December 8, 2009 December 8, 2009 1 Comment
The first decade of this century is "by far" the warmest since instrumental records began, say the UK Met Office and World Meteorological Organization.
Their analyses also show that 2009 will almost certainly be the fifth warmest in the 160-year record.
Burgeoning El Nino conditions, adding to man-made greenhouse warming, have pushed 2009 into the "top 10" years…
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Met Office scientists have been giving details of the new analysis at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen…
"We've seen above average temperatures in most continents, and only in North America were there conditions that were cooler than average," said WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud…
Mr Jarraud emphasised that the final analysis would not be complete until early next year; but the UN agency always issues a summary during the annual climate negotiations in order that delegates have the latest information.
The WMO uses three temperature sets – one from the UK Met Office and the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), and two from the US, maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the space agency NASA.
There's always someone present who cares most about pop-science and junk-science reporting.
Asked whether the controversy surrounding e-mails hacked from CRU could have any bearing on the results, Mr Jarraud replied that all three datasets showed the same result.
Vicky Pope from the UK Met Office made the same point: "The datasets are all independent, and they all show warming," she said.
RTFA for a bit more detail. If you care to press further, well – Google is your friend. Or whichever search engine you actually use. The information provided by peer-reviewed scientists ain't going to change regardless of your ideology.
Blair omits that secret WMD info came from a nosey taxi driver
An Iraqi taxi driver was the source of the discredited claim that Saddam Hussein could unleash weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes, a Tory MP claimed today.
Adam Holloway, a defence specialist, said MI6 obtained the information indirectly from a taxi driver who had overheard two Iraqi military commanders talking about Saddam's weapons.
The 45-minute claim was a key feature of the dossier about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction that was released by Tony Blair in September 2002. Blair published the information to bolster public support for war.
After the war the dossier became hugely controversial when it became clear that some of the information it contained was not true. An inquiry headed by Lord Butler into the use of intelligence in the run-up to the war revealed that MI6 had subsequently accepted that some of its Iraqi sources were unreliable, but his report did not identify who they were.
Today, in an interview with the Daily Mail, Holloway said the key piece of information about 45 minutes came from an Iraqi officer who was using a taxi driver as his own sub-source.
Just so you know how rinky-dink the politicians are that some of you trusted with your votes, your lives, the lives of the men and women sent to die in Iraq.
Turns out drinking dirty water is OK with Republicans – other people drinking dirty water, that is!
More than 20 percent of the nation's water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years, according to a New York Times analysis of federal data.
That law requires communities to deliver safe tap water to local residents. But since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage.
Regulators were informed of each of those violations as they occurred. But regulatory records show that fewer than 6 percent of the water systems that broke the law were ever fined or punished by state or federal officials, including those at the Environmental Protection Agency, which has ultimate responsibility for enforcing standards…
"This administration has made it clear that clean water is a top priority," said an E.P.A. spokeswoman, Adora Andy, in response to questions regarding the agency's drinking water enforcement. The E.P.A. administrator, Lisa P. Jackson, this year announced a wide-ranging overhaul of enforcement of the Clean Water Act, which regulates pollution into waterways.
"The previous eight years provide a perfect example of what happens when political leadership fails to act to protect our health and the environment," Ms. Andy added.
Federal regulators fined or punished fewer than 8 percent of water systems that violated the arsenic and radioactive standards. The E.P.A., in a statement, said that in a majority of situations, state regulators used informal methods — like providing technical assistance — to help systems that had violated the rules.
But many systems remained out of compliance, even after aid was offered, according to E.P.A. data. And for over a quarter of systems that violated the arsenic or radioactivity standards, there is no record that they were ever contacted by a regulator, even after they sent in paperwork revealing their violations.
When government is run by ideologues who only answer to corporate directives, draw only conclusions friendly to extractive industries and investors – the needs of a healthy nation are of little interest.
We probably could spend an equivalent eight years just uncovering all the dirty secrets swept under the rug by the Bush/Cheney gang.
Year of the Tiger ready to be ushered in – in gold
A salesclerk shows a gold bar with the sign of tiger at the Caibai department store in Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 7, 2009. The gold bars carrying the sign of tiger ranging from 50 grams, 100 grams, 200 grams, 500 grams and one kilogram will be on sale at the store Dec. 8. The year of 2010 is the Year of Tiger according to the Chinese traditional lunar calendar.
I don't get excited about hoarding gold. So-called luck never enters into any part of my life's decisions. What few spare pesos I ever have I'd rather spend on something for family and home.
But, I can appreciate the beauty of history expressed in calligraphy and gold. A different aesthetic.
Cardboard windshield not o.k.? Is there no end to their list of complaints.
"Is there a problem, officer?"
A lorry driver was pulled up by police in China – after driving for hundreds of miles with a sheet of cardboard covering his broken windscreen.
Mr Li drove by sticking his head out of the side window – in freezing conditions – or by peering through tiny holes in the cardboard, reports China News Network.
Traffic officers ordered him to pull over after spotting him on the Jinggang'ao Highway in Henan province.
"The weather was extremely cold, but we saw a lorry with a cardboard windscreen – and the driver had his head out of the side window all the time," said a police spokesman.
Mr Li jumped down from the cab with a face that was purple from the cold. He told officers he had been in an accident in Hubei province several days earlier but did not have time to repair it properly because of his tight delivery schedule.

How Racial Injustices Cause Drastic Disparities in Health
Othering & Belonging Institute May 16, 2020
Giving Compass' Take:
• Sara Grossman explains how the nation's cyclical racial marginalization has resulted in drastic health disparities for people of color.
• What sort of disparities in health stem directly from stress? How do such racial health differences reinforce the cycle of poverty for communities of color? What are you doing to draw attention to the devastating impact of cyclical discrimination?
• Read about how these disparities in health are taking their toll on communities of color throughout coronavirus.
America's alarming racial disparities have come to the forefront of our national consciousness in recent years, at least partly thanks to the activism of the Black Lives Matter movement and increased media coverage of racial inequality. Although this awareness is today more sensitized to disparities in incarceration, educational attainment, and poverty, there is in fact another area in which racial disparities run deep: health.
Some of the most concerning disparities exist in rates of chronic disease, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Most recently, however, the Centers for Disease Control announced projections that, if current rates persist, one in two Black gay men and one in four Latino gay men in the United States will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. This is compared to a projected 1 in 11 diagnoses for white gay men, and 1 in 99 for the general public.
About 25 percent of African Americans are living below the federal poverty line, compared to around 12 percent for whites, according to the US Census. This is particularly notable as income is highly influential on health status, access to health care, and health insurance coverage, according to a report from the Commonwealth Fund. This means that a larger percentage of Blacks and Latinos are living in neighborhoods with poor housing options, perhaps in areas with greater pollution and environmental degradation, and reduced access to basic healthcare services.
The World Health Organization [WHO] notes that the unequal distribution of health-damaging experiences is in no way a 'natural' phenomenon. Rather, it says, is 'the result of a toxic combination of poor social policies, unfair economic arrangements [where the already well-off and healthy become even richer and the poor who are already more likely to be ill become even poorer] and bad politics."

SDG Philanthropy Platform Connects Global Network of Philanthropists
Giving Compass' Take: • Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors created a platform that connects philanthropists by providing resources and information sharing tools concerning SDG progress. • How will this platform help spread awareness throughout donor networks? • Read about how philanthropy makes some big bets on the SDGs. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out an extraordinary but ambitious vision for our future. With a 2.5 trillion funding gap and an amplified need for innovation, philanthropy will have a critical role to play in the realization of the SDGs. Aware of this, the SDG Philanthropy Platform has launched a website, SDGPhilanthropy.org, during the 72nd Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Developed specifically as a community platform, the new SDGphilanthropy.org will facilitate productive collaboration and resource sharing. Using the community tools on the site, philanthropists, foundations, government stakeholders, UN professionals, and social innovators interested in the Global Goals can now for the first time collaborate and engage in direct dialogue with like-minded peers, post updates on SDG initiatives and events, and share best practices and lessons learned.

Frontiers coming to Early Access next month
By Phil Savage 2014-11-17T11:11:03.32Z
Frontiers, the exploration-based, Daggerfall-inspired RPG, will be released onto Early Access next month. Over a year after its successful Kickstarter, the game is currently undergoing closed beta testing; ahead of its public, albeit unfinished, release.
Why go the Early Access route? Creator Lars Simkins is brutally honest about his reasons: "The game is overly ambitious, over budget and over schedule and Early Access my last hope for getting it finished," he explains in an email. "A bit embarrassing, especially since I've criticized Early Access in the past, but hey it beats quitting."
See also: this update video, in which the pressures of game development are expressed through words and beard length.
Frontiers' Early Access release is set for 31 December. Here's the Steam page. Here's an interview I did with Simkins, back before the game's Kickstarter launched.

Husband: on his way home!
I've been away from The Sandbox. It was just too much. I am so thankful that this resource is here for the world to get a glimpse into the experiences of our military members, but it was a little too close and too personal and just too scary. But I am very happy to say that my husband is out. He is somewhere between there and home, and I'm ecstatic. Having him out of harm's way has afforded me the luxury of peace of mind, and the mental capacity to put my thoughts into words. And here they are: I support our troops, I'm conflicted on the war, but mostly I'm frustrated by the isolation.
I know I shouldn't complain that I get a call from my husband only twice a month, when my grandmother heard from her husband by letter only a handful a times a year during WWII. It's terrifying that death is a possibility, but I know the numbers pale in comparison to Vietnam. Watching your husband go off to war is as old as time -- think of the Spartan saying: "Come home with your shield or on it." But for this war, it seems different...It's just that now I feel like it's only me.
I'm one of the few wives that have the opportunity to live on base, but work in a professional capacity at a leading company, and I can't tell you the echoing depth of the chasm that separates my two worlds. I walk into the office to talk of stock options, tax cuts, weekend parties, laissez-faire political debates. If I hear about the war at all, it's typically someone priming me to say that it's awful, that they should all come home -- don't they know that can be offensive when my husband is risking his life to be there? I'll never forget the day that Al Zarqawi died and I mentioned the news to a college-educated co-worker at my fortune 500 company, and the response was..."Who?" Or when a war-age eligible man asked me if my husband would be coming home for Christmas. "Nope, unfortunately Iraq doesn't close shop for the holidays." It's not that they don't care, it's that it just doesn't affect them.
Then I hop the train back to my other life. When I come home, I pass through the guarded gates of my Marine Corps life into this parallel dimension. Back here the streets are full of women taking out the trash and climbing on roofs to put up the Christmas lights because daddy isn't home to do it. Back on base I always have a friend that is about to come home, and another that is about to leave. Back home, women are crying because they're afraid that their children won't remember their fathers. On my street, there is a rotation of "Welcome Home Daddy" signs that fill me with pride and smiles, but also make me want to cry because I want it to be my turn. Back home I know not to knock on a friend's door without calling first, lest she think that that knock is CACO on the other side telling her that her husband didn't make it. Back home, I have to close my front door, because hearing car doors shut brings up images of men in blue walking up to my door and delivering the bad news.
I don't want to complain, I have loved many experiences I've had with the MC life; it's fast and furious and always entertaining. My friends on the perpetual cycle of deployments do not feel sorry for themselves, and neither do I. But still, I'm left with a feeling of frustration, and it comes down to this: the burden is just too big to be borne by so few.
Unfortunately you're right and there is quite a chasm between the dual lives of military spouses, and even the Reserve Component members.
You're also right about it being borne by so few. Less than 1% of the US population serves in the military. If the US was a dollar, less than a penny would represent those of us who serve. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I just find it an interesting fact that brings mixed emotions to many.
Glad to read your husband is out of harm's way now.
I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing the "other perspective" that is so easily overlooked. My wife too has lived through the same trial and tribulations being a spouse of a deployed member. The real unsung heros are the families left behind. They are the ones with the hardest part of going to war. My hats off to all the spouses who keep the home fires burning and sit in silent vigil waiting until the day we make it back home.
God Bless you and I'm glad your husband will be home soon.
C.M. ~ We ARE out here supporting your servicemembers AND those of you left behind while they are deployed. It is tragic and sad that there aren't enough of "us" though. I will NEVER understand how even one American citizen can choose (whether consciously or not) to turn their backs on you all and your loved ones. We cannot do enough for all of you but we try. We really do try.
I could not be more happy for you that your Marine will be home soon. I am eternally grateful to both of you for your diligence, service and patriotism.
thank you so much for what you are doing. i know how tough it is to see my best friends go to war, and i can't even imagine what you're going through. thank you.
So Few, so Proud and So Marine.. I liked what you wrote after getting back inside the base, I feel sorry for you abd your career with the civilians that don't understand or care about the war, the divide gets deeper and it will be harder and harder to talk to them that don't know and don't understand. Maybe that is why I am so quiet. Thanks for writing, glad you are going to be seeing your husband again.
I usually don't comment on the writings in The Sandbox. There's usually no need. But I understand a bit of what you're writing about. Ours was an Army and a Navy family, at times and depending on who was in. I just want to say thank you for your service. Both in caring for your husband and supporting his service and in serving as the chasm over the divide. Thank you.
glad to hear he's coming home. tell him a non-american is grateful to him and his fellow soldiers.
I am happy to hear your husband is returning home safely. The commitment of our service members and their families will stand as the greatest accomplishment of these times.
Thank you for writing this. My journey is just beginning and I have already discovered what you are talking about. My son is in his fifth week of Marine bootcamp. I had just finished a column for the paper I work for expressing similar sentiments when I read this - and cried of course.
I read the Sandbox everyday for the reason you stayed away. It has given me a better understanding of where my husband is and why he and so many others are over there supporting a cause that will keep us all safer here in America. Those people that don't understand have already forgotten what happen on Sept 11, 2001. I feel very sorry for them. Very sorry, because history will repeat itself if we forget.
Thank you for your sacifice, and welcome home to your husband.
It didn't make any difference to the war when Al Zakawi died, just like it didn't make any difference when thousands of others died. That's why those at home paid no attention. We don't like losing wars, but we are getting used to it. This is the second one in my lifetime, and I'm tired of it.
How can we be losing a war when we don't have anyone to fight?
All military objectives in Iraq were met by the time Bush did his famous "mission accomplished" speech. We should have left then.
Now we are trying to stop a civil war. We have no enemy.
Someone said the other day "this is a formula for surrender". To whom? Exactly who could we surrender to in Iraq?
We aren't doing war, we are breaking a military force by using it for police work.
Sorry did you have to sound so patronizing to everybody not serving in the conflict?
hey lady....just want to give you a hug and say God Bless You and your husband..hold your head up high...you have stayed the course! And you've never been alone - God is with you. all of you will be in my prayers! Semper Fi - carry on !!
You are a bit off-base. When your soul is raw even a well-meaning but inept comment can hurt. Her response is perfectly understandable. It is highly peculiar that in a situation that is presented as threatening to our very existence we don't see a lot of Bushes, etc. enlisting. Leading by example is very effective - for good or for ill.
You are right that this burden is shared by so few. I am a senior at California State University – Northridge, a campus of nearly 30,000, and yet I count on one hand the number of people who personally know someone serving right now. With one of my best friends serving right now, my first prayers in the morning are for the safety of everyone in harm's way right now. I am happy to hear that your husband is coming home safely, and pray that very soon many more people get to experience the same joy you must be feeling.

Q: Do algorithms for preventing SSD wearout exist? For the sake of drives' (SSDs primarily) longevity, do there exist managing algorithms (built-in or optional/addition/third-party) implemented in drives' controllers or operating systems that take care of avoiding writes to the same physical block of memory many times? Something like choosing to readdress the block that's already been overwritten many times.
Specifically, I want to know how much I underestimated the danger of rewriting the same config file about 100 times while I was trying to make my archlinux work on an SSD. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: My concerns: If I have a 250GB SSD drive which is rated at 150TBW than every piece of memory has expected number of safe writes equal to 150*1024/250 which is exactly 600. So did I just waste 16% of life of my config file?

programme - abbey
Our Abbey has hosted from the 4th to the 24th of November 2007
a Training Course for a group of benedictine Monks from the various Monasteries in italy.
We welcomed also other religious who were already oriented towards life in a Monastery.
Among the participants there were also young men in their twenties interested in a serious monastic experience.
These courses are held periodically in different locations.
That year Finalpia hosted it.
The location is undoubtedly beautiful and the climate is famously mild.
Our Monastery, regarding the courses on monastic training,
it has a long tradition of hospitality.
In the last century there were, for the monks of the Italian benedictine monasteries , qualified courses of philosophy and theology.
The monk in the front row ( second from the right , marked with an X) is our Father Gregorio Penco , then thirty ,
who he was one of the teachers .
In this group there are 2 two future Abbots .
The two in plainclothes are friends.
biennial philosophy course 1959/61
THE GENERAL THEMES TREATED
SACRED SCRIPTURE AND "LECTIO DIVINA"
Introduction to Sacred Scripture and "Lectio divina".
This course must be oriented to provide the key elements for a fruitful understanding of the biblical text in order to lectio divina of the monk.
Aims to treat the issues of introduction: the Sacred Scripture as the Word of God (inspiration), transmitted and interpreted in and by the Church (canon and hermeneutics); to offer an introduction to the various sections and the several books; starting with the lectio divina from specific biblical texts, according to a method dear to the Fathers.
In addition, it will take care to emphasize, in continuity with the monastic tradition, as well as understanding and assimilation of the revealed Word, will always take place in the same Spirit in which it was written, and requires therefore to be accompanied by prayer, so that it may establish a true dialogue between God and man.
Introduction to the study and to the prayer of the Psalms
The psalms are, the frame of the Opus Dei, demand a serious and in depth initiation. We will illustrate, therefore, the place that the psalter had in the Old and the New Testament , the particular fondness the Fathers had for it and the monastic tradition, to come to present the individual psalms according to their literal meaning, the christological, ecclesial, and their reference to the personal experience of a christian and a monk.
In this way, the young candidates will be educated to an understanding of true christian prayer, which is both a prayer of the individual believer, of Christ and of the Church, the word of God which resounds on the lips of the human and therefore an appropriate response to God by man.
(By the Plan of monastic formation, the Benedictine Congregation Subiaco, Italian Province, Padua, 1995, no. 35)

Course of introduction to the N. T.
"God has spoken to us in the Son ..." (Heb 1: 1)
Father Michele Alberta
The course of Introduction to the N. T. wants to teach how to read the Gospels looking back on the time that goes from written texts, through oral tradition up to the preaching of Jesus himself.
To this aim, we will study first the environment of life and the culture in which Jesus lived (the jewish world), the economic and politic situation (the roman Empire), historical events (from Herod the great to the 70d.C., the date of the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus).
Then you will compare the preaching and the figure of Jesus of Nazareth as a Rabbi who stands out from the other doctors of the law, the scribes and the pharisees).
Finally, from the comparison of the synoptics it will outline the development of the thought of Jesus (Gospel of Jesus) the preaching about Jesus: Messiah, Son of God, Lord and God.
The acts of the Apostles and the pauline thought will be treated succinctly.
The scheme of lessons
1.The history of the text of the N. T.: the origins, language, dissemination, transmission, critical text, translation.
2.The historical method, critical description, its application, its evaluation in exegesis today.
3.Kinds of literature: exegesis, hermeneutics and theology.
4.The history of Palestine and of the institutions of the jewish and of religious groups at the time of Jesus and the origins of Christianity.
5.Chronology of the individual writings of the N. T. in relation to the history of Christianity and of the universal history.
6.The hellenistic culture and the roman Empire.
7.The synoptic Gospels: the thought of Jesus (loghia) and the theological contribution of Mt Mk Lk.
8.The writings of John (introduction).
9.Pauline thought.
10.Exegesis of selected tracks in order, theology, and Lectio divina.
Course of the history of monasticism
From the origins to the full Middle Ages
Father Gregorio Penco
The history and spirituality of the monastic.
This course "will not be content to present a review of the facts, in the context of the institutional aspect, but they will mainly explain the experiences and the spiritual teachings that there are underlying" (Plan of Studies 71, no. 22), starting from the very beginning up to our days.
The course will take on a vital character if in the presentation of this multiplicity of forms in which is embodied the monastic ideal, the youth will be able to understand of the useful stimuli for the growth of monasticism. "In this way, the story rediscovers the values with which to compare and enrich the present. In this juxtaposition between the past and the present we will avoid the stumbling block of archeologismo, bearing in mind that the tradition is not to conserve the past, but in update it, making it come alive in the present" (Plan of Studies 71, no. 22). It will be to maintain that ideal balance between fidelity and innovation which is the eminent example of the Rule of St. Benedict.
In this historical framework we will be able to insert appropriate references to art and iconography that in the course of the centuries, are expressed in the context of monasticism.
A reasonable space will be given to the study of the history of our Congregation of Subiaco, the monastery of belonging and to particular monastic phenomena eventually revealed in the region in which you live.
