Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women. United Nations [Internet]. 1993. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://research.un.org/en/docs/ga/quick/regular/48
Document can be located under A/RES/48/104
The UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. It covers physical, sexual and psychological violence as well as violence both at home and elsewhere in society.
The definition of violence against women that the UN presents in the Declaration is currently the most widely accepted definition:
'Any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.'
The Declaration states three categories of violence against women: violence perpetrated by the State, such as violence against women in custody and as part of warfare; violence occurring within the general community, including rape, sexual harassment, trafficking in women and intimidation at work; and violence in the family and in the private sphere, for example incest and selective abortions).
According to the Declaration, violence against women is rooted in the historically unequal power relations between women and men. It also explains that violence against women is 'one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men.'
The UN member states are therefore urged to legislate against the violence, work preventively and improve the situation of victimised women.

This is a working document to keep track of ideas and thoughts on how the progression through the Concept Exercises on the Julia track could work.

## Core concepts that every student should definitely know after completing the track

- How to »think« Multiple Dispatch. Why and how can I implement an algorithm in a way that it »just works« when I throw a different type at it? If I implement a new type, how can I make it play nicely with existing algorithms and packages?

## Progression Tree

## Legend

- **Round edges & dotted lines** in the graph above are practice exercises that focus on a particular concept.
- **Q** refers to questions the student should be able to answer after solving it that aren't directly taught by the exercise. Think of them like questions in the style of the Cornell Note Taking system.
- **PREV** means that the following point heavily depends on how the previous progression goes and thus is subject to change and/or to be decided
- **NEXT** means that this could either be part of this exercise or be the concept taught in the next exercise. In the diagram these are represented with dotted lines.

## Blocks

I think of closely coupled concepts/exercises as a "block" in the progression. The exercise may pick up parts from the previous exercise, extend them or depend on them.

### Multiple Dispatch

#### "Robots"

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
- Introduces **structs**
- Based on the existing exercises _robot-name_ and _robot-simulator_
- Might be split up in multiple exercises
- What is the student supposed to know after solving this exercise?
    1. How to define an immutable struct `NamedRobot` with field `name::String`
        - Provide Random-Name-Generator in hints but allow the student to implement their own
        - **Q:** Why should fields have a concrete type?
            - Add `@inferred` tests
    1. How to define a method that acts on the struct `name(r::NamedRobot)`
    1. How to define a mutable struct `MovingRobot` (?) with fields that describe the position
        - **PREV:** the position could be a `Complex{Int}`, a `(Named)Tuple{Int,Int}`, two fields `x`, `y` of type `Int`, a struct `Point{Int}`
        - **NEXT/PREV:** `Point{T<:Number}` could be used to introduce parametric types
    1. How to define methods that mutate the given argument `move!(r::MovingRobot)`
        - **Q:** Why does the function have a trailing `!`?
    1. **NEXT:** Define an abstract type `AbstractRobot` and `NamedRobot <: AbstractRobot`, `MovingRobot <: AbstractRobot`
    1. **PREV/NEXT:** Wrap it all in a module

#### "Encounters"

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
- Central exercise that teaches **multiple dispatch**
- Implementation is 'fixed' for now to avoid modifying to many variables at once
    - **NEXT:** Exception: Add `meets(::Pet, ::AbstractRobot)`
        - **Q:** What is **type piracy?**

### "Performance"

- Refactoring exercise, the student has to improve a solution that does several common performance gotchas wrong
- Hard to test
- Provide a list of things the student should have caught in the concept's `about.md`
- Provide benchmarking code
- Provide a list of tools to use (`Traceur.jl`, Profilers, BenchmarkTools etc.)
- Provide an achievable speed-up so that the student knows when they have optimised it well enough
- No micro-optimisations like `muladd` etc

### OffsetArrays

- Some exercise that shows that indexing is arbitrary in Julia, even if it defaults to 1-based indices.
- Also: How to write generic code that works regardless of index (see https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/offset-arrays/#Generalizing-existing-code-1)

Home > Health & Fertility > Ethics of Egg Donation
Ethics of Egg Donation
By: Kathryn Senior PhD - Updated: 16 Sep 2010 | *Discuss
When a couple undergoes In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), her body is stimulated to produce many eggs that can then be fused with her partners sperm to create useable embryos for implantation. However, some women are unable to produce their own eggs for many different reasons.
Many infertile women have a problem with the quality and quantity of eggs they produce. A woman whose infertility is due to endometriosis may have so much internal scarring that the eggs in her ovaries are not accessible and cannot be retrieved. A woman may be a carrier of a genetic abnormality but still wants to have a biological child fathered by her partner. The chances of a successful pregnancy with IVF decrease with the age of the egg donor, so a woman of 40 who has had several failed IVF cycles may only have a chance of becoming pregnant with another IVF attempt using eggs donated from a younger woman.
These circumstances mean that the demand for donated eggs is high, much higher than the number of 'spare' eggs that are retrieved from women undergoing normal IVF. Some women are now donating their eggs, even though they are not otherwise involved in fertility treatment.
Should Egg Donation be Allowed at All?
Some people say that all assisted reproduction is against nature and is therefore unethical. People who follow Catholic teaching disagree completely with egg donation, for example. Others accept that egg donation can help infertile couples conceive a much wanted child that will be cared for and brought up in a loving home.
Even so, the issue of egg donation by women who donate their eggs for use in IVF procedures is fraught with ethical concerns in many countries in the world. The issue of whether donors should be paid for their eggs is a particularly thorny one. Another matter for debate is whether women should be asked to donate their eggs to create embryos for research purposes.
In many countries, research like this is allowed but highly regulated but many embryos are required. Some doctors believe that the research is important but that the risks to women donating eggs are too great and cannot be justified.
Egg Donation and the UK
Until 2007, the regulatory authorities in the UK only allowed excess eggs derived from women undergoing IVF to be used as donated eggs. Two years ago, altruistic egg donation was approved for the first time, with women allowed to donate eggs even though they were not otherwise involved in any assisted fertility procedures.
Although the idea of paying women to donate their eggs in the UK has been discussed, payments have been limited to small amounts that cover things like travel expenses and childcare during treatment. Some people see this as unfair since an egg donor needs to be prepared to have her ovaries stimulated to produce around 325 to 30 eggs at once, and then to have an out-patient surgical procedure to recover the eggs. This involves passing a large needle through the vagina into the body to the ovaries. Both the ovary stimulation and the recovery of eggs involve significant risks to the health of the donor.
In comparison, sperm donors are paid £50 for each donation, and a man is free to make as many as 50 donations in a six-month period, giving him the potential to earn £5000 per year for a procedure that carries no risk at all.
Egg Donation in the USA
Egg donors in America are paid for their donations, with payments of several hundred dollars being the norm. In one way, this seems fairer but there have been problems relating to the amount of payment and conditions set by the clinic or the prospective parents. Stories abound of women who have a college education, a particular intelligence level or specific physical characteristics being offered very high sums of money for their eggs. Adverts to attract such donors appear regularly on the Internet.
Ironically, the USA has also seen women disadvantaged by the payment system. There are reported cases of women who have taken a payment of a few hundred dollars but have then suffered complications as a result of ovary stimulation or egg collection and have then had to pay their own medical bills for after-care. These have often exceeded the original fee, leaving the egg donor financially worse off and in poor health.
It seems inevitable that the demand for donor eggs for assisted fertility treatments will continue to increase and that more healthy young women will become egg donors. Regulation should ensure that the rights of the donors, as well as the interests of prospective parents and the children are balanced so that egg donation is as safe and effective as possible.

Background: Information on causes of death in HIV-infected patients in Sub-Saharan Africa is mainly derived from observational cohort and verbal autopsy studies. Autopsy is the gold standard to ascertain cause of death. We conducted an autopsy study to describe and compare the clinical and autopsy causes of death and contributory findings in hospitalized HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients in Uganda. Methods: Between May and September 2009 a complete autopsy was performed on patients that died on a combined infectious diseases gastroenterology ward in Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. Autopsy cause of death and contributing findings were based on the macro- and microscopic post-mortem findings combined with clinical information. Clinical diagnoses were reported by the ward doctor and classified as confirmed, highly suspected, considered or not considered, based on information derived from the medical chart. Results are reported according to HIV serostatus. Results: Fifty-three complete autopsies were performed in 66% HIV-positive, 21% HIV-negative and 13% patients with an unknown HIV serological status. Infectious diseases caused death in 83% of HIV-positive patients, with disseminated TB as the main diagnosis causing 37% of deaths. The spectrum of illness and causes of death were substantially different between HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. In HIV-positive patients 12% of postmortem diagnoses were clinically confirmed, 27% highly suspected, 16% considered and 45% not considered. In HIV-negative patients 17% of postmortem diagnoses were clinically highly suspected, 42% considered and 42% not considered. Conclusion: Autopsy examination remains an important tool to ascertain causes of death particularly in settings with limited access to diagnostic testing during life. HIV-positive patients continue to die from treatable and clinically undiagnosed infectious diseases. Until rapid-point of care testing is available to confirm common infections, empiric treatment should be further investigated.

I tend to agree with this . . .
Mike Leach to NFL Coaches: "I only need a three-hour window. I'll have a great clinic for all the NFL coaches who are so horrible that they can't teach a guy to take a snap under center and go backwards."
What prompted this? Tim Macmahon of the Dallas Morning News asked Leach what he thought about the argument against his former Graham Harrell -- and many similar "spread" quarterbacks -- that it is troubling that they don't know how to take a snap from under center and drop back because they were in the shotgun so much. Macmahon reports:
"You bring up easily the most pitiful NFL cop-out of all!" [Leach] hollered. "And you can send that message to the whole NFL. Any coach who has ever said or uttered those words or considers that a concern, here's my message for them: How could you possibly look yourself in the mirror and consider yourself an NFL coach and not be able to teach a guy to run back three steps, five steps and seven steps? I can teach a child that!
"Any coach in the NFL who can't do that ought to be fired!"
An issue? Maybe. I understand this with respect to lineman who have never been in a three-point stance, and there are related quarterback issues, but this reason (so often given) does not pass the smell test.
Leach hit the nail on the head. Why do some NFL coaches not get that footwork and dropbacks are easily taught, and in some cases will even increase the consistency of the QB as a result of the rhythm inherent in drops and the fact that it is easier to maintain proper footwork.
The shotgun does one thing: Puts the QB deeper more quickly than he would otherwise be able to get. On those long 5 and 7 step drops in obvious passing situations the QB will probably have more time to read the field from the gun, especially if the opposing pass rush is able to get upfield quick. On shorter drops, though, it can be more of a hinderance than a benefit as a good center can get the ball to the QB in a fraction of a second with the laces already there and the QB can keep his eyes upfield immediately, giving him far less to worry about, a point which you've made before.
That said, I believe refusal to use the gun by some at the NFL level (where practice time is unrestricted) is absolutely as big a sin as they think using it exclusively at the college level is. It can be a great tool when used in the proper situations, and does not mean the elimination of the running game.
"I tend to agree with this . . . " and you say this after you spent hours explaining the basis of the spread and run and shoot? How does a quarterback, who learned (in the words of Harrell) to follow one script for four years ("the script we're running now is the same one as four years ago, we run the same plays") suddenly learn a new one and immediately succeed? It isn't the dropping back or the number of steps, except on a pure pass play. It's the change in how the defense reacts, and where the key reads are. From under center the options are more limited, the blocking schemes more complicated, and, on the whole, the level of NFL defensive talent is higher. Yeah, Leach can teach the drop in three hours. Can he add success against bigger, faster, quicker? I'm not saying Harrell can't handle it - but three hours isn't gonna do it by a long shot.
"Can he add success against bigger, faster, quicker?"
Do you have anymore questions?
I don't believe that the physical movement of dropping back is the issue.
It is how the angles of sight are affected by the QB moving backwards and how his poise may be affected by being closer to the onrushing defenders.
A QB in the Gun essentially gets a huge head start in his drop. He gets to setup earlier, and is therefore stationary for longer whilst reading the coverage.
This is just silly. Leach's system may make average guys look great but it is not the shotgun to undercenter transition that kills them.
Philip Rivers was mainly a gun passer in college and went to a mainly undercenter system and lead the leage in pass efficiency last year. Ditto for Ben Roethlisberger at Miami OH. Drew Brees was also a gun spread QB and has torn it up in the league.
Plus both Manning and Brady mainly pass out of the shotgun.
BTW Football outsiders did an analysis of gun vs undercenter and found that passing performance was better from the gun. So maybe the pros need to move more in the direction of TT.

Semi-confidential Settlements in Civil, Criminal, and Sexual Assault Cases
Saul Levmore, the William B. Graham Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
Frank Fagan, Associate Professor of Law, EDHEC Business School, France.
Settlement is more likely if parties are free to set its terms, including a promise that these terms will remain secret between them. State sunshine-in-litigation laws work to defeat this incentive for confidentiality in order to protect third parties from otherwise unknown hazards. The intuition is that a wrongdoer should not be able to pay one plaintiff for silence at the expense of other victims. This Article begins by showing that the intuition is often wrong or overstated. A plaintiff who can assess a defendant's vulnerability to future claims can extract a large enough settlement to provide substantial deterrence, and at a much lower cost to the legal system. The argument does not transfer well to most criminal cases, where the defendant might pay, not to avoid other claims, but to avoid incarceration, which offers no direct benefit to the settling victim. It is further complicated in sexual assault cases, where the plaintiff might settle too quickly in order to protect her privacy. The discussion works toward the idea that in some settings semi-confidentiality-the disclosure of the substance of settlement but not the magnitude of monetary payments-is superior to both secrecy and transparency. The right amount of confidentiality is a function of the parties' interest in privacy, the likelihood that the wrongdoing is part of a pattern unknown to the settling plaintiff and the accuracy of the litigation process that settlement seeks to bypass. We are able to identify cases where law ought to allow (even) criminal cases to be settled privately and confidentially, and also cases where even sexual assault victims should be steered away from confidential settlement and toward translucency.

Q: How do I track a branch from a private forked repo of another user in GitHub?
I and my friend have forked a private repo of another user with our respective user IDs. The forked repo is showing as private in both our accounts. I have done some changes in some branches and pushed it in my repo. I didn't do any Pull request. How can my friend track that branch from his repo?

He has added my repo as remote. But when he tries to fetch using
git fetch myRepo

He is getting the following error
remote: Repository not found.

Orlando News: Historic Orwin Manor Villa Turns Back the Hands of Time
Orwin Manor will be on tour with the parade May 5-6 from 10 am to 6 pm and again the following weekend May 12-13 from 10 am to 6 pm.
1520 Westchester Designed by Morrone Interiors
Morrone Interiors is proud to announce their entry into the 2018 Parade of Homes presented by the Greater Orlando Builders Association. 1520 Westchester is a personal home designed by Audrey Morrone that is ideal for entertaining and unwinding with guests or family. After seeing the 1925 villa that had fallen behind the times she wanted to be able to create her vision and return the home to its once grandeur self. The home is in the historic neighborhood of Orwin Manor, minutes from Park Avenue and Winter Park Village with easy access to I-4. This stunning Winter Park villa has been reawakened and transformed into a fresh and contemporary living space.
The 3,030 square foot home underwent a massive renovation with only a few original pieces of the home remaining, most notably the original hardwood floors which were refurbished with a black stain. In what was the original front stoop, a new foyer was created to welcome guests into a living room that features a stunning built-in fireplace, surrounded by custom cabinetry. The design team created an open floor plan to connect the dining room and the kitchen to create a truly gourmet space that included new cabinets, countertops of honed marble, and state-of-the-art appliances. This space has come to be a favorite for Morrone "I just love spending time down there, whether it's cooking up a fresh meal or entertaining guests, it's a really attractive and functional space that feels like the epicenter of the home."
Following the glass staircase in the kitchen will lead you to the second floor, where the residence's bedrooms can be found. Just down the hallway is the owner's retreat – a private sanctuary that contains a sprawling master bathroom and walk-in closet. The master bathroom offers a quiet place to relax with a stainless steel Japanese soaking tub. The large, walk-in closet contains a boutique-style mirror to assist in finding the perfect outfit – and, for convenience – is also home to a washer and dryer.
