Lesotho: Recruitment of Judges Begins
No Comments on Lesotho: Recruitment of Judges Begins
THE Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has begun recruiting seven new judges to ease the huge backlog of cases in the High Court.
The recruitment process got underway this week with the publication of the vacancies on the government website on Monday.
The JSC invited qualified candidates to apply or be nominated for the posts by the public. The deadline for the submission of applications and nominations is 27 February 2021.
According to the JSC, there will be background checks on all applicants and nominees and they will also be required to prove that they are in good health. This will be followed by the shortlisting of the candidates and public interviews to choose the final list of nominees to be submitted to His Majesty King Letsie III for appointment.
"The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) invites individual applications and nominations by members of the public and non-profit organisations for candidates to fill seven vacancies of puisne judges in the High Court of Lesotho," the JSC said this week.
"Members of the public interested in nominating persons must complete the Nomination Form (JSC/JHC/01) which provides the basic information about the candidate and must be signed by the applicant or nominated person.
"Nominees and individual applicants must also complete the following:
Authorisation Form (JSC/JHC/02) which allows the (JSC) secretary to obtain a statement of the applicant's or nominee's current and past standing from the Law Society and other regulatory bodies.
Background Check Consent Form (JSC/JHC/03) to consent to a background check of health status and general compliance with laws.
Questionnaire (JSC/JHC/04) to provide basic data for oral interview and subsequent assessment by the Judicial Service Commission."
The JSC said it will consider candidates who have served as judges locally, in any Commonwealth members state "or in any country outside the Commonwealth that may be prescribed by parliament". It also said it would consider candidates who are legal practitioners or qualified to be such.
"Interviews with short-listed candidates will be conducted in public, meaning that members of the public and the media (both electronic and print) are free to attend the interviews but not the deliberations by the commissioners.
"Interviews will be held from 29 March to 2 April 2021 in the High Court Conference Room, Maseru or any other venue to be decided upon," the JSC said.
This is the first time the JSC has advertised the judges' vacancies. It will also be the first time for candidates to be publicly interviewed.
The new measures are aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the recruitment of judges.
The most recent attempt by former Acting Chief Justice 'Maseforo Mahase and Attorney General Advocate Haae Phoofolo to recruit five new judges was nullified last December by the Constitutional Court.
Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo had met on 20 August 2020 in their capacity as JSC members and recommended that His Majesty King Letsie III appoints Deputy Attorney General Tšebang Putsoane, lawyers Tšabo Matooane, Mokhele Matsau, Moneuoa Kopo and Maliepollo Makhetha as High Court judges.
But the five were not appointed with authoritative government sources saying that King Letsie III had refused to appoint them on the grounds that Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo could not just sit on their own and make recommendations without the input of the other two JSC members.
Current Chief Justice Sakoane Sakoane was the other member of the JSC, then in his capacity as a nominated High Court judge. The other JSC member is Public Service Commission (PSC) chairperson, Moshoeshoe Sehloho.
Justice and Law Minister Professor Nqosa Mahao publicly lambasted Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo, saying the duo could not sit on their own and recommend the appointment of five new judges without the active participation and input their JSC colleagues.
The stand-off prompted the obscure White Horse Party to file a September 2020 constitutional application to force King Letsie III to appoint the five as judges as per Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo's recommendations.
The little-known political outfit also petitioned the court to declare that Prof Mahao had actively interfered with the independence of the JSC by publicly questioning Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo's moves to have the five appointed without his or the government's knowledge and input.
But Prof Mahao fought back in October 2020 by filing a counter-application for the nullification of Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo's 20 August 2020 meeting and their subsequent recommendations for the appointment of the five as judges.
The Constitutional Court consolidated the White Horse application and Prof Mahao's counter-application and heard them as one case.
The constitutional bench comprising of Justices Tšeliso Monapathi, Moroke Mokhesi and Keketso Moahloli dismissed the White Horse Party application on the grounds that Justice Mahase and Adv Phoofolo did not constitute the JSC quorum.
They also ruled that the White Horse Party did not have the legal standing to file the application because it had no interest in the appointment of judges.
The court ordered a fresh process to recruit judges hence the latest move by the JSC to undertake a fresh, transparent recruitment process.
The successful candidates will fill the vacancies left by a spate of deaths, retirements and forced resignation of the judges.
Currently there are only eight judges. This after the May and June 2020 deaths of Justices Lebohang Molete and Lisebo Chaka-Makhooane and the retirement of Justices Semapo Peete and Teboho Moiloa on 31 July 2020.
Before that in 2019, former Chief Justice Ntomeng Majara was forced to step down on the grounds of alleged incompetence by the then Thomas Thabane government

Spotlight Interview: Doug Geinzer, Founder and President, High Performance Providers
by Editor - August 25, 2020 August 25, 2020
About Doug Geinzer
Doug is the founder/president of High Performance Providers, a boutique consulting firm that works with world-class surgeons looking to contract with self-funded health plans. He only represents surgeons that deliver better health outcome for a lower/bundled price. While CEO of Las Vegas HEALS (Healthcare | Education | Advocacy | Leadership | for Southern Nevada) for 10+ years, Doug was one of the authors of Las Vegas' Regional Strategic Plan for Health & Wellness Travel. He spends his time today actualizing that plan. As an experienced and successful entrepreneur who has built and sold several healthcare, technology and human capital related businesses throughout his career, Doug knows how to deliver results. He is a past recipient of many awards including Entrepreneur of the Year, Healthcare Hero, Innovative Business Leader, Top 40 under 40, "most influential" in employment and a 'who's who' in healthcare. He is the past president of the Vegas Chamber of Commerce's Business Council and has been a board member of SHRM, Entrepreneur's Organization, UNLV Schools of Medicine and Nursing and the Las Vegas Medical District.
About High Performance Providers
At High Performance Providers, we work closely with self-funded health plans, the third-party administrators (TPAs) that represent the plans, their consultants and the high-performance networks they seek out, often times saving plans 40-60% of health spend. Our High Performance Providers operate in the areas of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Joint Replacement, Bariatric/Surgical Weight Loss, Spine/Musculoskeletal and General Surgery. Visit highperformanceproviders.com.
Medical Travel Today (MTT): Describe the company, how you got involved and what your goals are.
Doug Geinzer (DG): High Performance Providers is a relatively new business, but obviously, I've been in this industry for more than ten years. We work with surgeons who deliver a better health outcome for a lower bundled cost. We lead with quality health outcomes.
These are providers that operate in the upper 5-10 percentile of their specialty or subspecialty and have committed to a bundled case arrangement where they can deliver to self-funded plans an outcome that will, again, deliver better health outcomes at a lower bundle price.
I was one of the authors of the regional strategic plan for health and wellness travel for Las Vegas about eight years ago. We devised a three-legged plan for medical travel. One leg was medical meetings and we succeeded in bringing more medical meetings to Las Vegas to the point where we could confidently say that Las Vegas is the medical meeting capital of the world.
The second leg was wellness tourism and we looked at spas along the Las Vegas strip because they have 47 world-class spas. We also looked at the typical half marathon, full marathon, Tough-Mudders, the great outdoors, rock climbing and significantly increased that visitor volume.
With medical tourism, we found some challenges and had to ask, do we have what it takes to become a destination where people would travel to receive higher quality care?
We've got a lot of providers that are here that practice and trained at Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic and Mayo. Is it the facility that delivers the quality outcome or is it the surgeon? And just because they choose to move out here to the West does that mean they are less qualified as when they were working at Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic or Mayo?
We gotinto measuring their quality outcomes, and at the end of the day, these were more entrepreneurial-based physicians who wanted to break away from the traditional hospital system and felt that they could deliver better care in an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) environment where they can control the entire process.
I work directly with them.
MTT: How many are there?
DG: We have more than a dozen.
We're doing cases in the areas of knee and hip replacements, spine, bariatric, general surgery, and I'm working on some cardio bundles right now. My responsibility is to make sure that these physicians truly are best of class, performing at the top of their specialty and have a bundle in place. If they don't, I help them assemble that bundle.
I work with those providers on getting them directly contracted with the self-funded plans. We do that through what I call the aggregators, including the likes of Sano Surgery, PriceMDs, Access HealthNet and others. We also work to contract them with COE (Centers of Excellence) Models such as Edison Health and Carrum. I also work with them contracting with the third-party administrators, and we have some direct contracts with the self-funded health plan itself. Our providers are very flexible in how they contract. All the providers go through a process of validation.
I've also got a provider that's been participating in an institutional review board, or IRV+B study. They lead with their outcomes and publish those health outcomes annually.
At the end of the day, if you're able to return an employee/member back to work healthier and quicker, that helps reduce absenteeism and improves presenteeism.
MTT: Can you describe how they get certified or accredited?
DG: They're all board certified and then they have their facilities accredited through the Joint Commission or Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare.
MTT: Is Las Vegas still a health care center of excellence?
DG: We're not a center of excellence under one roof, which makes it a little bit different.
All the procedures we do are done in an ASC facility owned by the physician, which is part of the quality equation. They can control the entire continuum of care from pre-op through post-op and many times through the post-op physical therapy, all in their environment.
A procedure or surgery that may take 40 minutes at a hospital environment, they do in their ASC in 30 minutes. It's that 25% reduction in the usage of the anesthesia that helps out with the recovery process.
The most important factor is the continuity of care, because the surgeon's team in the ASC is one they have been working with for 8-10 years. This means a level of teamwork and pure volume that allows them to gain a high level of expertise. Our Blossom Bariatric surgery program is a good example.
Typically, when people hear bariatric, they cringe a little because, nationally, it's a complex surgery and has a higher level of complications. The national data shows that the typical bariatric surgery has a complication rate of 15-17%, which would give people reason to be concerned.
With Blosson, our complication rate is less than 1%. So, it's .9%, which demonstrates that it's actually a safer procedure than a gallbladder removal. This eliminates the complications and associated runaway expenses because an infection will cost a plan over $100,000.
If you have 15% of those that are now coming with that $100,000+ price tag, that's going to affect the overall cost to the payer. A lot of people will ask, how can they accomplish that great outcome?
The answer is they're a high-volume practice led by three board certified bariatric surgeons that do nothing but the same procedure every single day. They're doing on average, 130 bariatric surgery cases per month and they have the process down inside of that bundle. In other areas of the country the surgery is done by a general surgeon who may only do a handful of cases each month. High volume allows our surgeons to become masters of the trade they are fellowship trained in.
It's a five-day episode of care that includes everything from wheels down to wheels up, including accommodations and transportation. The plan is responsible for getting their member to Las Vegas where we take over. Our limousine service picks them up from the airport, takes them to the contracted hotel and then to the clinic each day.
Blossom provides a team-based care environment. On the first day, they meet their surgeon, dietician and therapist. They are even given the mobile phone number of their surgeon. Their medical concierge is with them from the first phone call to post-discharge. All lab work and cardiac testing is done on-site. The next day, they get the procedure in the physician-owned surgery center. Another differentiator for this process is that we know that 90% of patients that need bariatric surgery also need to have a hernia repaired. We actually include the hernia repair in the bundle because we know we're going to find it. Why allow a potential surprise bill after the surgery? We do a surgical site inspection the final day to make sure that everything's good, hydrate the patieint with fluids and put them on an airplane home with compression socks that are USB-charged.
MTT: It sounds like a streamlined process. Are you connected to the hospitals in case there's an emergency?
DG: Obviously, the goal is not to need that, but we do have transfer agreements set up with the hospitals in case there is an emergent situation, which there rarely ever is.
MTT: What is the role of telehealth and telemedicine, which we have been hearing so much about now?
DG: We're able to do a lot of the prep work through telehealth, as well as the post-op.
For example, with bariatrics, the patient goes back home and is in touch with our dietician for the next 30 days.
The most important thing is that we have created user groups so there's this alumni association of people who have gone through the bariatric surgery process and are able to share experiences and stories.
This begins the day they arrive in Las Vegas because they're staying at the hotel with a cohort of five to seven patients who are going through the process at the same time. It is amazing to watch these user groups form.
MTT: Are the hotels first-class?
DG: Yes. We go through a credentialing process ourselves and use non-gaming hotels and keep them close to the procedure location. With our orthopedic group, our bundle actually includes 10 days post-op physical therapy. We have a license for home health physical therapy and home health nursing, so the team that's treating them pre-op is delivering treatment at the hotel.
They know the patient because they've already built a relationship with them. We bring equipment into the patient's suite of rooms and do physical therapy right there. We get them walking up and down the hallway and can utilize the hotel gym.

I've Never Seen A Formula 1 Race But Here's How Max Verstappen Can Win This Weekend
A few out-of-the-box tricks from an industry outsider

I kinda thought Formula 1 had an open cockpit, but maybe I'm wrong

I'll admit it: Before working at Jalopnik, I had never seen a Formula 1 race. Since starting here, I still haven't seen one. In fact, I just had to lean around my computer monitor here at the office to ask our own Owen Bellwood whether you're allowed to spell it "Formula One." I am a neophyte to these ways, and that makes me perfect for developing new F1 strategies. Fresh eyes, as they say.

While I'm a stranger to F1, I do think I have some qualifications that will be relevant here. I've heard both the name "Lewis Hamilton" and "Max Verstappen" before, and I've been informed by my coworkers that they're exactly tied in points for the championship. I made a thousand-horsepower open-wheel Ariel Atom in Forza Horizon 5 once, which feels is pretty close to an F1 car. Suffice to say, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this, the first(?) and most historic(??) Formula series.
We meet at last, you two

Strategy 1: Cross The Finish Line First
In many forms of motorsport, finishing the race before your competitors means winning. I mainly pay attention to Formula Drift, where this is absolutely not the case, but Formula 1 feels like one of those "be faster than the other guy" series. When the checkered flag goes down, Verstappen can win by reaching it before Hamilton.

Strategy 2: Don't Run Out Of Tires
In racing, tire management is key. If Verstappen finds himself running low on grip, he needs to not do that. C'mon, man, I just told you it was key. Less traction means lower corner speeds, and that can leave prime opportunities for passing. Which leads to my next point:
Strategy 3: Don't Get Passed
Now, this one is a more subtle strategy, but it's no less important than the first two. This one is all about getting into the mind of your opponent, figuring out how they think, and then not letting them put their car in front of yours. F1 cars look like they're pretty wide, so Verstappen should be able to use that to his advantage and not leave Hamilton room on the track. Wait, is this race on a track or a street circuit?
This man could be Formula One World Champion. I'm assuming that's what the trophy says on it.

If Verstappen keeps these three strategies in mind, he could steal the title right out from under Hamilton's nose. Unless Hamilton starts ahead, then things change. Shit. The point is, he can win.

Mark D. Jordan. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1997. 190pp. $20.00 (cloth).
What in the world could it mean to say that sodomy was "invented"? Did a task force of theologians work hard in an ecclesiastical Menlo Park in order to come up with this term? The title provokes the reader, but Mark Jordan, professor at Notre Dame's Medieval Institute explains that the title is "a double pun" (1). "Invention" can mean both "building something new" and, in the ancient rhetorical tradition, the art of finding just the right thing to say.
And the title turns out to be absolutely accurate. Jordan's book is an attempt - successful, I believe - to see how the concept of sodomy began in Christian theology, and how it first functioned in Christian discourse. His method is to offer a respectful reading of the earliest texts in which the word (and thus the concept) appears. As he traces the Latin word sodomia from its novel and rare use in Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah on through that of St. Thomas Aquinas several hundred years later, we begin to see just how odd the word really was - and remains, for it is the medieval tradition which did the heavy lifting in defining sodomy, not just for theology, but for secular society as well.
Jordan's readings of his medieval texts are not intended to debunk them, to show how stupid or ignorant the mind of the medievals was. Only giving oneself over to these texts will help us to understand their uses of this particular abstraction, and (thus) to understand later uses.
Although The Invention of Sodomy in Christian Theology is a worthy scholarly effort, readers not expert in medieval literature should not be frightened off; the texts which Jordan reads with us are interesting and relevant. There is the story of the ninth-century martyr Pelagius, a boy whose beauty so aroused 'Abd-al-Rahman III, the caliph of Cordoba, that he wished to enjoy its delights. The boy's refusal led to torture and death. Within decades of the boy's martyrdom narratives circulated and he began to be honored as a saint, whose cult included a Mozarabic text for Vespers, Matins, and Mass. While the stories cited by Jordan served an obvious polemical purpose for European Christians in their demonizing of the Muslims, who are pictured as prone to same-sex desire, there is more in these texts than that. "As it begins to act out its own worship of the boy-saint, the Christian community seems as much bothered by his beauty as was the caliph" (28). For "... the flattery of his beauty that is sung by male choirs ..." (27) does unavoidably bring up questions of the point of such God-bestowed male beauty, so dangerous to its bearer and to its observers, including (perhaps?) the monks chanting Pelagius's praises.
By beginning with this account, Jordan can show us how the word "Sodomitic" (not yet "Sodomy") is used, in the poem of the nun Hrotswitha on the life of Pelagius, to begin to place the sin of the caliph in some theological context. He can also show us how confused and (in his word) "unstable" the notion of same-sex desire is at this stage. Linked with foreigners and infidels, it is strange and exotic; and yet it is apparently caused by the luxury of the Muslim ruler's court, and thus could potentially tempt us all. Underneath the strangeness of this vice is the suspicion that it is indeed not so strange at all, but a "natural" reaction to abundance - and beauty. The linkage of same-sex desire with exoticism, pride, self-indulgence, and opposition to true religion, along with a secret fear of - and titillation by - it, is thus at least as old as the story of Pelagius and as familiar as a Hollywood biblical epic.
However, it is not until Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah in the eleventh century that we start to see a pastoral-theological analysis of the newly minted word, sodomia, apparently patterned on another abstract noun, blasphemia. Peter seeks to alert the church of his day to the threat posed by "a church of Sodom within the church of God" (50). Addressed to Pope Leo IX, the book seeks to convince him of the need to weed out Sodomites from the ranks of the clergy, though at times he seems to suggest that it might be too late. Who are these Sodomites? For Peter, the vice of sodomy includes any use of sexuality other than heterosexual intercourse open to procreation, with the first type of sodomy being "self-pollution." The city of Sodom includes many citizens! One of the interesting tensions in Peter's thought about Sodomites is the difficulty of repentance. Once they are exposed or confess, they must be stripped of their offices; but there seems to be no regime of ascesis or therapy which would "cure" them. "[Peter] seems to conceive sodomy as sin that cannot be repented" (66).
In the texts which Jordan investigates, we find the theme of sodomy's uniqueness among sins. Other sins harm the neighbor; sodomy is a sin against nature and hence against God Himself. Thus it is a particularly grievous sin, worse, indeed, Aquinas says, than rape, adultery, or incest with one's mother (144). Of course, it is impossible to understand any of these categorizations of sexuality without realizing that our contemporary understanding of sexuality as ideally related to love and what we now call intimacy would mystify the medievals. For them, sexuality is about procreation. Further, sexuality itself, at least in its present condition, is a sign of the Fall, with Christian marriage itself barely keeping it within permissible bounds for the sake of procreation. Nor was there any doubt that perfection in this life required perfect chastity. Thus, one explanation for the amazing depictions of the evils of sodomy is rather simple:
To invent Sodomy was to invent a pure essence of the erotic without connection to reproduction. It was to isolate the erotic in its pure state, where it could be described in frightening colors and condemned without concession.(176)
Mark Jordan's book, by uncovering the semantic history of a word, provides a signal service for contemporary moral theology.

Everyone of us, in one way or the other, is familiar with 'Boss'.What image does a Boss carry in our psyche, consciously or subconsciously?
Is the Boss of your definition a dragon with blowing fire, bald headed person with horns, the famous Dracula or the ever-advising saint?Let us leave it to our imagination for a moment to have an icon for Boss.
The 'Boss' draws power and accumulates influence owing to three primarily practical modes.
The first one seems to be the most effective. If the same is coupled with the other two, it is great. But otherwise also the Boss has enough to cast the spell.
How much for the bird,' a gentleman asked the bird seller, showing his hand to a parrot labelled as `1'?
`One Thousand Dollars, only sir,' said the bird seller, with much conviction.
`One Thousand Dollars is lot of money. What is so special about this parrot,' asked the gentleman curiously.
`This parrot can write lyrics for plot; romantic or tragic,' said the bird seller proudly.
Pleasantly surprised the gentleman enquired about the next parrot labelled '2'.
`This parrot can compose music for any lyric and it costs just Two Thousand Dollars,' the bird seller replied.
Impressed with both the parrots, the gentleman wanted to know the extra ordinary quality of the third parrot which was not labelled.
`This parrot takes cherry tomato for breakfast, pineapple for lunch and raw peas with green chilly for dinner. It likes music and watches lifestyle programmes on television. It costs Ten Thousand Dollars,' said the bird seller.
"That is ok. But what does it do," asked the gentleman with a tone of frustration? "She is the Boss of other two," explained the bird seller with a very professional metallic voice.If the Boss by virtue of the position can influence your job, salary and other remuneration, S/he is the most powerful Boss even if it is the third parrot.The second type of Boss is the one who is knowledgeable and you see a mentor in the person. They are quite sustainable Boss and they deserve the respects even after the employment.The third one is a Boss who is quite a good human being, empathetic and kind. If someone is having all three attributes then you have got an excellent Boss.If your Boss does not have the first and second qualities and only have the one, you are working with an innocent, tooth-less and nail-less Boss, who is otherwise a nice person. Now you think of an icon. Let us focus on some of the interesting characters of a Boss. We have tried to give them names.
A Boss is expected to provide a 'bridge and wall' effect. S/he should be a bridge with the senior management to put forward the concern of the team and individuals in the team. When required s/he should also defend the team members from undue pressure from the peers and seniors.
Many Bosses provide a cocooning effect to the team, whereby they isolate the team from the external and internal forces to a certain degree. Sometime this proves to be quite productive especially if a team of young professionals is being managed by an experienced professional. But most of the time it is not effective in the long term and makes the capability vulnerable to changes.
This may look funny but on a serious note somebody at a senior level has a greater responsibility of driving the organization who also needs an institutional structure.
It is also important to note that whether an institutional decision is right or wrong in a given context is not an absolute one. In the meantime, you have all the freedom to rediscover those qualities in your Boss.
The title of this article attracts me as much that I can not hold myself from pressing the keys of keyboard. All three primarily practical modes are necessary for the growth of individual employee as well as company's profile. Your analysis keeps rightness throughout the article but on this topic I have a problem. I have heard this slogan very often and believe that – Boss is always right, and if this is true then why I do waste my time to decode him.
I believe that boss always decodes employee, employee can never decode boss. This is a program which never runs due to its invalid conditional statement. 'decoding the boss' is semantically incorrect statement. Employee should improve him/herself as much as possible.

Q: New gcmSender value stops all push notifications working We've recently changed the value of the gcmSender to point to a different Google Project Number (A switch between the testing and production environments) in the AirshipConfigOptions object of the Urban Airship library like so:
AirshipConfigOptions options = AirshipConfigOptions.loadDefaultOptions(this);

options.gcmSender = "123456789101";

There were a number of existing registrations to Urban Airship that were registered using the older gcmSender value.  With the change, all push notifications to existing devices no longer work.
This StackOverflow answer indicates that this is because the registrations are tied to a particular sender; however I cannot see any way of removing or forcing re-registration of devices on Urban Airship.
Has anyone encountered this before?  What was the ultimate workaround or fix?

A: I'm not sure whether your app uses the Google APIs to register to GCM (either GoogleCloudMessaging.register or GCMRegistrar.register) or there's some urbanairship API that handles the registration.
In either case, Google suggests to re-register a device to GCM every time the application is updated, which in the case of changing the sender would result in a new Registration ID assigned to the device. In their demo they detect it by comparing the current app version to a stored version (which is stored whenever the application gets the registration ID). Since you changed your sender ID, you must have created a new version of your app, which should force the app to re-register to GCM (if you add this suggested logic).
You can see Google's suggested registration code here.

Q: XML File to Javascript Array for a newbie Ok I am a newbie and I am needing help to convert this XML file to a javascript array. I know very little about doing this and only know basic Javascript.
Here is a snippet of the XML file:
-
<title>Mountain Telephone Classifieds - Posted 5/30</title>

<link>http://www.mrtc.com/CommunityPortal/</link>

<description>I will sit or care for the elderly or disabled in their home Days, Evenings,Nights or Weekends, I can also Cook, Clean and run Errands.I am reliable,have good referances, my own transportation, and ask a reasonable pay rate. . Thank You.</description>

There is 1000 items in this XML file and I need help, extreme help in being able to just put the  of all 1000 in an array for a function that I have to execute. Please help me and not send me to another page, I'm not familiar enough to be able to read someone elses answer and figure out my own.

A: Even though you specifically asked not to be pointed to another website, i think it would actually help you a lot to check out some good references for the two technologies you're trying to use (JavaScript and XML) since it will give you a better understanding of how they work and how can you use them to your advantage.
I recommend you check the XML Tutorial at W3Schools and the JavaScript one as well, even though the first one will help you with your current predicament.
The reason you need to review this instead of someone providing the example for you is that you need to understand that XML Documents are not handled as arrays, and they can't be converted to arrays easily because they use a hierarchical structure that requires you to know specifically which part of an element or node do you need to add into an array and how to manipulate the document nodes to obtain this information.

The Federal Reserve raises interest rates – December 2022
Echo Richards December 15, 2022 4 min read
This time, the FOMC decided to raise interest rates by 50 basis points. This pushed the federal funds rate to its highest level since December 2007.
Photo: Brett Lakeman/ / Zuma wire
The Fed funds rate range remains today It rose by 50 basis points to 4.25-4.50%.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced in a statement. The December decision was taken unanimously and matched market and economist expectations.
This is the first rise of 50 points since May. in the previous four meetings The Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds rate by 75 basis points. In all, since March, the federal funds rate has been raised by 425 basis points. It is the sharpest cycle of increases since 1981.
In the previous two cycles of monetary tightening (in 2004-06 and 2015-18), interest rates were raised by only 25 basis points. Already after the September increase, the fed funds rate range has already exceeded the maximum for the 2015-18 cycle. Then it took the Fed two years to go from zero to just 2.25-2.50%. Now, in just 9 months, US interest rates have reached levels last seen in December 2007.
– The committee decided to raise the federal funds rate to 4.25-4.50% i You would expect additional increases to be appropriatee In order to achieve such a state of monetary policy that would be sufficiently restrictive to Bring inflation back to the 2% target. – We read in the December Federal Open Market Committee statement. – The Committee is firmly intent on bringing inflation back to the target of 2 per cent – added.
See also Required and unhelpful? They will save the world from destruction
The Fed's leadership was forced to rapidly normalize monetary policy through a wave of price inflation not seen in four decades. In June, US CPI inflation was 9.1%. It was the highest since 1981. November data showed a slowdown in annual CPI growth to 7.1%. — which is still 3.5 times higher than the federal inflation target of 2%. Core inflation in the consumer price index has also fallen from its highest level in more than 40 years.
Determine the pace of future increases in the federal funds rate The committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy and the delayed transmission of monetary policy to economic activity. Inflation, economic and financial developments – repeat a phrase that was first included in the November FOMC statement.
Despite this, the federal funds rate, which a majority of committee members would have desired at the end of 2023, increased compared to September. If in September "Fedodots" averaged at the level of 4.6%, in December it was already 5.1%. This means that a majority of next year's FOMC members will be willing to vote on a total hike of 75 basis points. – for the range of 5.00-5.25%. That's about 25 basis points. More than expected futures market before the release of the December statement. The first (and somewhat insignificant) cut in the federal funds rate will only be possible in 2024.
Other macroeconomic forecasts of the committee members changed less significantly. Average expected PCE inflation for the end of next year was raised to 3.1% from 2.8% in September. Throughout the forecast period (i.e. until the end of 2025), the majority of the FOMC members expect this indicator to remain above the 2% target..

The median forecast for the unemployment rate for next year also increased slightly (from 4.4% to 4.6%). On the other hand, the GDP growth forecast for 2023 has decreased: from 1.2% to 0.5%. Increasing inflation and interest rate expectations while lowering economic growth expectations is likely to be bad news for stock markets.
Powell is still a hawk
– I would like to emphasize that we understand the difficulties that Americans face due to high inflation and that We are very determined to bring inflation down to the 2% target – This is how Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell began his press conference.
We still expect the upcoming hikes to be appropriate to adjust monetary policy enough to bring inflation down to 2%. (…) Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive monetary policy stance for some time Powell added. "We will continue the course until we do our job," the Fed chairman said.
Powell's unequivocally hawkish rhetoric did not sit well with Wall Street investors. By 20:42, the S&P500 was down nearly 1%, dropping below 4,000 points. The Nasdaq lost more than 1.3%. On the other hand, the 10-year US government bond yield rose to 3.53%. The dollar rose slightly against the euro, recouping losses from the beginning of the day.
The Fed Chairman noted that prices for services continued to rise rapidly, with the exception of housing services. In his view, it is a function of a very strong job market. That is, places where economic downturns have not been observed: employment growth remains strong, the number of jobs remains high, and the imbalance between demand and supply persists. It was a fairly straightforward suggestion that the Fed would like higher unemployment and a weaker labor market to quash the demand side of inflationary pressures.

We assessed that our policy is not restrictive enough, even after today's action. We've given our individual assessments of what needs to be done to change this – Jerome Powell responded to a reporter's question.
– This is not the time to cut interest rates. We believe that we will have to maintain the restrictive monetary policy bias for some time. Historical experience strongly cautions against premature easing of monetary policy. "I wouldn't say we're considering a rate cut," Powell said when asked about market expectations for a federal funds rate cut in late 2023.
This was the last FOMC meeting scheduled for 2022. The next dates are set for January 31st and February 1st.

Constitutional Traditionalism in the Roberts Court
Stetson University College of Law Research Paper No. 2011-03
University of Pittsburgh Law Review, Vol. 73, 2011
72 Pages Posted: 22 Mar 2011 Last revised: 23 Mar 2011
See all articles by Louis J. Virelli
Louis J. Virelli
The debate over the role of traditionalism in constitutional interpretation has itself become a tradition. It remains a popular and controversial topic among constitutional scholars and presents normative questions that are as divisive, difficult, and important today as at the Founding. Missing from the discussion, however, is a comprehensive account of how the Supreme Court has employed traditionalism - an approach that looks for meaning in present manifestations of longstanding practices or beliefs - in its constitutional jurisprudence. This project is the first to fill this significant gap in the literature by providing an exhaustive and systematic analysis of the Court's use of constitutional traditionalism. This Article focuses on the Roberts Court's first five terms to provide an empirical foundation that will not only offer previously unavailable insights into the Court's current traditionalist practices, but will also set forth a useful framework for the ongoing normative debate over traditionalism.
This project uses content analysis of key terms to identify every instance in which the Roberts Court employed traditionalism to interpret the Constitution. More specifically, this project set out to answer the following three questions: first, how frequently does the Roberts Court employ traditionalism in its constitutional jurisprudence?, second, how robust is the Court's use of traditionalism (i.e., is it used to interpret a broad or narrow range of constitutional provisions)?, and finally, how often and in what contexts do individual justices on the Roberts Court rely on traditionalism in their own constitutional opinions? The research provided here suggests answers to all three of these questions. First, the data indicate that traditionalism has been relied upon regularly by the Roberts Court, appearing in nearly half of the Court's constitutional cases. Second, traditionalism is frequently applied to a wide variety of constitutional provisions: two-thirds of the constitutional provisions considered by the Roberts Court were subjected to a traditionalist analysis, and ranged from provisions pertaining to government power and structure to individual rights. Finally, the data show that although traditionalism is used more frequently by conservative justices, it is nevertheless employed by all members of the Court in a wide variety of contexts. Although there is more to learn about traditionalism's role in the Court's constitutional jurisprudence, this evidence makes clear that notwithstanding the normative controversy surrounding traditionalism, any future study of the workings of this Court, its members, or of the future direction of constitutional law in general must take traditionalism into account.
